ThE PrOblEM wiTh ExPlAininG ChriST by bOb wAlTErS – It seems much easier to believe in Jesus Christ than to explain Jesus Christ. Or perhaps that’s backward … it’s easier to ex-plain what Jesus is than to believe what Christ came to do. Or perhaps both are missing the point. The truth is, neither explaining nor will believing in Jesus Christ sufficiently attach our lives to the eternal glory of God. Nor will our explaining and believ-ing persuade a skeptical outside world of Christ’s mission, goodness, grace and truth. The world insists on proof, gen-erally distrusts faith and – saying “Thanks anyway, I have my own” – mostly shuns the existence of God’s perfect, ultimate, glorifying truth.

ThiS DiSTriCT DESErvES A nEw vOiCE by SuSAn brOOkS – Since launching my campaign, I’ve been talking to vot-ers throughout the 5th Congres-sional District, many in my home county of Hamilton, and there is a desire for new leadership. My campaign offers that opportunity. I am not a traditional politician or a Washington insider looking to extend my career in Congress. I am running for a simple reason: The promise of America available to my generation is at risk for our chil-dren – my 21-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son – and our grandchildren. You know all the problems: a mountain of debt, a stagnant economy, more government, more regulation, less freedom … and the list goes on. Continue reading at currentincarmel.com.

A major facelift could be in store for an old Carmel shopping center.

Kite Realty Group has plans to redevelop The Centre, the retail strip northwest of the 116th Street-Range Line Road intersection that housed a CVS Pharmacy before a new, bigger version was built across the street. According to KRG’s request for a develop-ment standards variance, the company is proposing to partially redevelop the shopping center sitting on a little more than 8 acres.

As part of that redevelopment, a portion of the existing center would be demolished and removed, and a new anchor build-ing would be constructed in place of the old CVS, according to KRG’s request. Additionally, it says “the existing bank building

will be demolished and a new bank will be constructed in a new location to the west on 116th Street” and “a new stand-alone building will be constructed in place of the existing bank build-ing at the intersection of Range Line Road and 116th Street.” A new multi-tenant retail building also would be constructed along Range Line Road.

Mayor Jim Brainard said the buildings, per the city’s develop-ment requirements in that area, would be two stories tall and would be moved closer to the street. He said the variances the company is requesting, which will come before the Board of Zoning Appeals tonight at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall, are all “very reasonable.” Some of the specific requests for variances have been tabled to the BZA’s meeting later this month.

“It’s all very exciting and I think it will be a good addition to Carmel,” Brainard said.

Bob Knight will come to Carmel later this month for an autograph session.

The Hall of Fame basketball coach, who won three national championships with Indiana University, will appear March 24 at Authentic Sports Collectibles in Carmel City Center, 715 Hanover Place.

Knight originally was scheduled to ap-pear at ASC Jan. 14, but the week of the event, the session was postponed as a result of a family emergency.

The signing is open to members of the public who purchase one of the 500 tickets being sold. Tickets can be purchased at the store from now until the day of the event.

Dominique Ball, owner of ASC, said he’s prohibited by his store’s contract with Knight from publicly disclosing the price of each ticket, but added that, in his experience, attending autograph sessions offers the best prices on signed memorabilia.

“To come witness the guy sign it, that’s the cheapest way to buy it,” he said. “It’s cheaper than buying it retail.”

Attendees are allowed to bring one item per purchased ticket, and Ball said there are very few limitations on what can be presented to Knight to sign. Traditionally, Knight has politely refused to sign two editions of Sports Illustrated magazine covering his firing at IU, as well as copies of “A Season on the Brink.” Aside from that, Ball said, nearly any-thing is fair game.

“He’ll even sign a chair if you want to bring that,” he said.Ball said those seeking more information or wanting to

purchase tickets can call him directly at 554-9906.

Knight appearance rescheduled for this month

COMMUNITY EntrepreneursBy Kevin Kane • [email protected]

Carmel residents Courtney O’Neil and Jen-nifer Hare founded Whale of a Sale a little more than three years ago after realizing how quickly their own children outgrew expensive toys and clothing. Since then, the business has grown ex-ponentially and has the two working full time.

The duo’s first semiannual consignment sale was held in the clubhouse of the Village of West Clay and featured the gently used goods of about 95 consigners. Their sixth upscale event, to be held later this month, will have more than four times that many consigners whose children’s toys and clothing will fill a 25,000-square-foot retail space.

“We already have about 400 consigners reg-istered,” O’Neil said last week. “We’ll also have about 30 vendors.”

The company continues to increase the number of items offered in each of its sales, and top-selling items include bikes, strollers, play kitchens, swings and toys, all of which families can purchase in “like new” condition at a frac-tion of retail cost.

Major consignment events are held in the fall and spring of each year, and beginning March 15, the company will do so in a new Carmel location: the old Godby Home Furnishings store in Merid-ian Village Plaza, 136th and Meridian Streets.

O’Neil said the company eventually outgrew its previous location at Eagle Church in Zionsville.

“It was a great location for us,” she said. “There’s a huge gym we would lease from them, but we just couldn’t get enough time in the calendar.”

Until space is full, consigners can sign up on the company’s Web site and list and price their own items. Though event volunteers can take home as much as 75 percent of their sales, most consigners take 60 percent, but the average seller walks out with a check of more than $272, O’Neil said.

“We don’t have overhead, so we’re able to pay our consigners a lot more,” she said.

O’Neil and Hare are sorority sisters from But-ler UniversityFor more information, visit www.whale-sale.com

Mindi McMillan recently announced her Re-publican candidacy for the Indi-ana House of Representatives for District 24, which encompasses Zionsville, Whitestown, West-field and parts of Carmel.

McMillan is a local business owner and entrepreneur, and has launched and managed sev-eral small businesses. She also is responsible for the organization of such groups as Mothers of Preschoolers, which boasts membership of more than 500 local women throughout District 24.

McMillan said she made her decision to run for

the House after interviewing and being selected to the Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Ser-vice Series. While in the class, McMillan said she learned about the new House seat for her district.

“I’m a small-business owner, and it’s the small-business owners and their employees that make our state work,” McMillan said in a release. “I promise to be an advocate of local issues at the State House. For years I’ve been attending Town Council, School Board and Strategic Planning meetings – I understand the issues facing District 24.”

McMillan, 42, attended Taylor University in Upland, graduating Summa Cum Laude. She and husband, Kyle, live in rural Zionsville. They have six children.

i’m a Carmel runner: Michael Shirrelli’m running the Carmel: Marathonnumber of years as a Carmel resident: SixGoal for the 2012 Carmel Marathon Cham-pionship weekend: Anything less than 3 hours (marathon personal record is 2:50:30)why i started running: To help quit smok-ing as a New Year’s resolution in 2004. I have never looked back since.favorite place to run in Carmel: Monon be-tween 146th and 86th streets, or in the Village of West Clay.i run with: I usually run alone or with one other person, but I do participate/run with a training group during the spring.when i’m not running: I work as a project management consultant and am an avid guitarist of 18 years.One word to describe what running means to me: Enjoyment.how running/exercise has changed my life: I went from a fairly sedentary lifestyle that included smok-ing to the complete opposite. Many college friends can-not imagine me as a runner, and many

post-college friends cannot imagine me NOT running.race day lucky charms: I usually wear the same outfit for every race – Brooks Ravenna (shoes), gray Nike shorts, black and red Nike running singlet (top) and Sugoi sleeves (weath-er dependent). Advice for new runners: Keep running! It gets easier with every step you take, every run you complete. Never focus on what other people are

doing; run in whatever fashion you are com-fortable in terms of stride, pacing, etc. Also, celebrate running milestones (e.g., first 5K, 10K, half, etc., or a new per-sonal record)! Running may be a way to get healthy, but why do something if

you don’t enjoy it? So, HAVE FUN!why i decided to run a race: Running

in my (adopted) hometown and on familiar territory is always

advantageous since I know what to expect in terms of terrain. And, I ran the in-augural Carmel Marathon last year … need to keep the streak alive!For more “I’m a Carmel runner” features, go to www.facebook.com/CarmelMarathon.

Twenty eager-to-learn painters partici-pated in a three-day workshop last week at Renaissance Fine Art & Design Gallery in the Arts & Design District. The sessions, led by Kentucky-based artist, Dreama Tolle Perry, brought participants to Carmel from throughout the Indianapolis area and other states.

“We’ve had people from all over – New York, Cincinnati, Chicago, Wisconsin,” said gallery owner Kathleen Stevens. “I try to find instructors that do something dif-ferent. I want them (painters) to really get something from it.”

Perry is a self-taught artist known for the colors and brush techniques used in her paintings, the basics of which are taught during her workshops, she said. Among other activities, those at last week’s workshop participated in a teach-ing exercise Stevens described as “musicals easels,” during which each painter would contribute to several different paintings. One participant would pick a subject and begin work on a painting that would later be completed by a group of others in the class. “That taught us to not be so attached to what we’re painting,” said Stevens, who in

addition to arranging the workshop, also participated in it.

Stevens said she has featured Perry’s work in her galleries for years, and plans to bring her back for a second workshop next year. According to the artist’s Web site, her remaining workshops in 2012 all are sold

out. Between now and next year’s visit from

Perry, however, Stevens said she will hold frequent classes and workshops in her re-cently renovated gallery at 1 S. Range Line Rd., and a schedule can be found online at www.renaissancefineartanddesign.com.

Commentary by Jeff worrell

Hazel Dell Parkway on a sunny, warmer than usual winter day is a popular place for pe-destrians. I decided to join the crowd and get some much-needed exercise. Walkers, runners, dog lovers and bikers all mingle along the busy North-South roadway on the East side of Carm-el. Way off in the distance, I could see a couple enjoying the day like all of the others. But, un-like the other walkers using the path that day, this couple’s behavior was different. Either they did not believe in the shortest distance between two points is a straight line rule, or they are directionally challenged. As I continued to ap-proach, I could clearly see them stroll together a few feet as couples do. But, unexplainably and at random, suddenly one would dart to the left, the other to the right, bend over, return to the center and resume their leisurely saunter.

What was causing this strange conduct? Who were these out-of-the-ordinary foot travelers? As I got close enough to see the details, it be-came obvious the couple I had been observing were not innocent walkers, but trash-grabbing, garbage-toting, Good Samaritans.

When I caught up to Joe and Shirley Linne, I think I came on a little strong and almost scared them to death when I incredulously demanded to know, “What are you doing?” Joe was the

first to respond with a casual and simple reply, “Keeping our part of Carmel looking nice, of course.” They had two large, smelly, overstuffed garbage bags to reinforce the talk they walk – roadside debris no longer on the road, but out of site and disposed of properly thanks to this Carmel couple.

Eight years ago, the Linnes moved from Brownsburg and made their home in Carmel. They started to notice the unsightly discarded alcohol and tobacco products spoiling their view as they used the footpath. The fast-food wrappers and soft drink cups are out there, too, but according to Joe, “If the people using alcohol and tobacco could also use a trash can, I wouldn’t have much to pick up.”

Without fanfare or recognition, at least once a week and sometimes twice, the Linnes are walk-ing, bending, walking, bending and personally managing both sides of the street PLUS the me-dian. So, as special thanks to our own Hazel Dell Beautification Team, I declare this week as less bending and more walking week. Do your part and think of Joe and Shirley as you don’t pollute.

COMMUNITY Grammar

lesson by brandie bohney

Today’s topic is redundancy. In case you’re unfamiliar with the concept of redundancy, it is basically the needless repetition of similar words or concepts. It’s important to be aware of redun-dancy in your writing or speech because being precise and saying what you mean are impor-tant. Another reason redundancy awareness is important, though, is redundancy is common.

Surely you’ve heard people chide the use of terms such as ATM machine and PIN number, and while those are obvious instances of ridiculous repetition, redundancy is frequently much sneakier.

Take, for example, the nightly news. How often have you heard the term armed gunman? He wouldn’t be much of a gunman if he weren’t armed, now would he? What about advanced warning? If you tell someone about something after it happens, it’s a report, not a warning. And consider my personal favorite redundant phrase: free gift. Gifts I have to pay to receive aren’t my favorites.

To complicate the matter further, some re-dundant statements are actually useful. Take, for example, the phrase absolutely essential. In

reality, being essential is an absolute, so adding absolutely is redundant. But if I were speaking to someone who, say, flies his personal jet to Mexico each weekend to golf, our definitions of essential may not be the same. He may think of his jet as essential, and I may disagree. In such an instance, or in describing such an instance, I might add the adverb absolutely in order to drive home the point of one view of necessity versus luxury.

The point is this: While it’s good to be aware of the possible redundancies in our speech and writ-ing, it’s hard to eliminate needless repetition entirely. Any time you need to be precise or concise or both, checking for redundancies is an essential need. Un-intentional accidents in redundancy can make you appear foolish, and you don’t want to meet your final end because of repetitive redundancy.

None of the redundancies in the previous paragraph were necessary, by the way. I just enjoy excessively overdoing things.

COMMUNITY Cover Story


Talk of the city’s emergency dispatching services merging with the county’s has been common knowledge since fall, but some of those involved said they haven’t heard an update in months.

In December, the City Council rejected a deal from the county that would have made this official.

Under the proposed five-year agreement, Carmel would have paid the county more than $1.1 million annually to handle its 911 dispatching, and Mayor Jim Brainard said the change would save the city more than $1.5 million each year.

The deal would have put Carmel’s emergency calls under the county’s watch no later than April 1, but leaders from both the council and the county recently said they did not know where the deal stands.

The proposalA change in state statute requires counties have no

more than two public service access points beginning 2014: a primary and a backup. In addition to the county’s dispatchers, Carmel has its own center and staff, and Noblesville has a staff that uses the county’s facility and dispatches for the city of Westfield.

Brainard said the reasons for pur-suing such a deal more than a year before this deadline are to ensure the Carmel Communications Center can continue to be used as it is now, and to give the center’s employees a chance to be hired by the county. Under the original proposal, Car-

mel’s center would become the county’s backup, used in a similar fashion, but controlled and staffed by the county.

But while the council has not questioned the need for or benefits of such a deal, it rejected the county’s offer, citing concerns over various parts of the contract. Some specific concerns included ownership of equipment in the com-munications center, the city granting the county a lien against its

future county option income tax revenue and the county’s ability to, at any time, begin using a dif-ferent backup center with only 90 days’ notice.

No coNTacTBut County Commissioner Christine Altman

said, while she knew the council had concerns with the rejected contract, she doesn’t know what

they are. “There’s been no communica-

tion from Carmel to the county,” she said. “We don’t know what the complaints are.”

It was Carmel that originally approached the county with the idea of consolidating, and while Alt-man said the county likes the concept because it needs a redundant backup center

and the change will increase efficiency, she said Carmel has far more to gain – at least financially – from such a deal.

Because it is the job of the city’s executive branch to negotiate contracts, Altman said she expected Brainard to reopen negotiations with the county, and Council President Rick Sharp, when told of Altman’s response, agreed.

“I would expect the mayor would have opened up discussions with the commissioners by now,” he said.

New proposalBut there’s a reason for the recent lack of communication.Brainard said he has not renegotiated the original contract

because a new proposal is in the works. For now, the original deal between Carmel and the county is on hold, he said, because he and the leaders of the county’s other municipalities are working together on a joint proposal.

“We’re preparing a countywide proposal to show to the coun-ty’s elected officials,” he said. “As soon as it’s ready, we’ll have that discussion.”

Brainard provided few details of the new proposal, but said the end result would be the same for Carmel, and this would address a number of the council’s concerns.

added sTressThough he said he was surprised more progress had not been

made since December, Sharp said this is a deal the city needs to get right and should not rush. However, he said some resolution needs to be reached as soon as pos-sible for the people working in Carmel’s center.

The stresses that come with being among the city’s emergency dispatchers have been compounded re-cently by months of uncertainty surrounding these individuals’ future employment.

If not among the few employees who would be retained by the city following a merger, each dis-patcher would face a potential layoff or – at best – a job with the county that comes with a loss of seniority and a substantial pay cut of about $20,000 annually.

During the past several months, Current has reached out to multiple employees of the center, but all declined to comment.

However, dispatcher Kent Paulin was one of a few center employees who addressed the council during a September meeting. He described the level of un-certainty the employees are facing.

“You want to know what it’s like to be working in that center today, knowing what’s been going on the last couple months?” he said at the meeting. “It’s like when I went through a mushroom factory in Salem, Ore. It’s like being in there. They keep you in the dark. They feed you manure. And when you least expect it, they lop your head off and eat you. That’s what it feels like to be in that building right now.”

Brainard said there is nothing the city can do about the po-tential pay cuts, but said the city is working on a compensation package for any employees who are not hired by the county.

“If someone stays until the last days of our center, they will get a substantial bonus,” he said.

“It’s like when I went through a mushroom factory in Salem, Ore. It’s like being in there. They keep you in the dark. They feed you manure. And when you least expect it, they lop your head off and eat you. That’s what it feels like to be in that building right now.”

It is our position that after the Chardon High School shooting, we should take threats made via social media posts seri-ously. We believe parents/school faculty should invite their children to report any tweets or posts they find threatening to an appropriate figure.

Students claim the suspected CHS shoot-er, T.J. Lane, tweeted ominous messages before the shooting on Feb. 27. Past events show the shooters usually leave some sort of message before their rampage. We just need to be vigilant and we can, hopefully, help prevent these massacres.

We are unwavering supporters of free-dom of speech, but when the lives of in-nocent children are at risk, isn’t it our duty to take the appropriate action to see lives are spared? We are in no way asking the government to watch over our tweets or Facebook posts. We ask concerned citizens to report any alarming social media entries to the proper authorities.

It’s unfortunate people do not have re-spect for the gift of life. While hindsight may be 20/20, we can learn from these tragedies and make our schools safer. We urge anyone who sees an alarming post to take the ap-propriate action to help prevent tragedies like the one at CHS.

As we follow the political theater (nightmar-ish as it is) that’s unfolding during the primaries and President Barack Obama’s re-election cam-paign, we’re often stunned the issue of increas-ing taxes on the wealthy (as defined by the left) appears to center on the arbitrary number of $250,000 for joint tax filers. We believe the real point is being lost in all the rhetoric. Consider: Not a day goes by when we don’t learn of mas-sive fraud and incompetence by our govern-ment, the best recent example of which was last week’s revealing of $325 million in Medicare fraud in Texas. We just don’t know how, on any level, anyone can make a case for sending more money to Washington, knowing our federal government’s putrid record for stewardship of our tax money. It will waste the money from the rich just as it wastes the money from the rest of us. So, we ask again: How does it make sense to send one additional penny to the geniuses inside the Beltway? Where is the logic in that?

• • •The so-called party of less government, less

intrusion and fewer taxes, while in control of both houses and the governor’s office, should have done away with this from minute one. Indiana is one of 22 states that impose an estate or inheritance tax (or death tax) on its residents. The House has passed the measure to abolish the tax, and as of press time, it was in the Sen-ate’s hands. All that would be left would be for Gov. Mitch Daniels to sign it into law. That would end the punishment of Hoosier families. We hope they’ll do the right thing.

School shooting

Commentary by Terry Anker

During the past 100 years or so, we have in-verted the percentage of our population direct-ly engaged in agriculture. In fact, about 94 or so out of every 100 Americans then identified their primary occupation as farm or agriculture related. Today, the number would be closer to 4 percent. To be sure, there are a number of very good reasons for the shift – chief amongst them is the advent of technology allowing a single human to produce a previously unimagined a bounty. The ravenous appetite for capital to run a land-based small business is another. And, changing generational expectations, in-cluding an incorrect (I believe) assumption that folks who work with hands, as well as mind, are lesser.

So, if no one is working in food, why aren’t we starving? Happily, those few who remain are smarter, better educated and more productive than ever before. And on Thursday; we honor them with Agriculture Day. Isn’t it as much to remind us of the origin of our own din-

ners? Yet, these are generous folk. The Legacy Fund of Hamilton County’s Mark Robins says, “Farmers embody many of the attributes we all admire – responsibility, hard work, plan-ning and giving.” He points to a LF initiated program allowing individuals and families, at harvest, to commit a portion of their grain to philanthropy. “Several farmers have created their own charitable accounts with LF. We work closely with them as they give back to the community they believe has given them so much.” Aren’t we getting the better part of this bargain? If they stopped working, how many of us would starve? Whether with corn chips or tasty bacon, isn't their generosity the ultimate way they manage to feed all of us? If you are full, remember to thank a farmer. And if you feel abundance, call LF.

Commentary by Danielle wilson

I, being the frugal know-it-all, decided that instead of paying a certified public accountant my hard-earned dough, I would do the taxes myself. How hard could it be? I’m a math teacher after all, and I’d be sav-ing us something like $600.

That was my recent weekend, and here again I slouch, having just spent another four hours oscillating between pulling my hair out and stymieing the urge to drink heavily. (Unfortunately, it’s Lent and I gave up drinking heav-ily!) Why does filling out a tax return, an annual exercise required of every working American, feel like a combined final exam for forensic criminology and Advanced Placement statistics? Seriously, my desk looks like I’ve just pulled an all-nighter cramming for my disserta-tion defense with files and folders and fiber bar wrappers and half-emptied cups of stale coffee. Is that a can of Skoal? Oh sweet mercy, I am losing my fashizite! And I’m nowhere near be-ing finished. Even scarier, I honestly don’t even know if I’m doing this correctly.

Sure, Turbo Tax walks you through the pro-cess step by step, but reconciling what’s on my computer screen with my personal paper jungle of a year’s worth of receipts and forms is a whole

‘nother can of worms. Worst of all, I have a very pronounced “Taxes Owed” in red mocking my every input from the top of the screen. Even after I enter charitable deductions, Doo’s work

expenses and individual retirement account contributions, the obnox-ious number does not shrink. WHY DOESN’T IT SHRINK? I did make

one important discover yesterday, which hopefully will put a dent in that awful figure. Our mortgage company has not sent us a form 1098 for interest paid in 2011 (that’s probably a lie; the form may very well be lying on my desk, perhaps under the Skoal?), and apparently, that’s a huge deduction. So there is hope we won’t end up in a debtor’s prison or on our way to Finland to evade taxes.

But I’m not a CPA with years of experience; I am most certainly missing a couple of exemp-tions and deductions and maybe even a rollover or two. So yes, I might be saving Doo and I some cash, but how much would our CPA have saved us in taxes due? In emotional distress? Whose stupid idea was this anyway? Peace out.

21st Century Divorce and Custody BattlesCommunicating with your former (or soon-to be former) spouse can be difficult. Emotions and disputes often make civil conversations difficult. However, it’s easier than ever to communicate without ever even speaking. Between email, social media and texting, we can now have a dialogue with pretty much anyone and never have to see them in person. On the reverse side of that, emails, social media and texts can be used to enhance or detract from your case in a divorce or custody battle. Attorney Clarissa Finnell, a seasoned attorney who practicesexclusively in the area of family law, explains that using

electronic substantiation has become prevalent in her family law cases. Finnell explains, “Often times, a client comes in with emails or text messages to be submitted to the court to prove the spouse participating in inappropriate behavior, infidelity etc.” However, Finnell also warns that this very same documentation can also be used against the client. Finnell gives several tips on how to use technology in your favor for your divorce or custody dispute.• Limit communication. Do not engage in or reply to any communication unless it’s directly related to the children. Communication should be limited to information about children’s well-being, parenting time, education etc. This includes texts, emails and online private messages. • Communication is important. While limiting communication is important, it’s also important not to withhold child-related information. • Communicate via documented channels. Conversations over the phone can’t be documented. Emails and texts are much easier to submit to the court. Establish a preferred method to communicate with your ex-spouse and keep all communications, when possible, through this method. • Save any emails, texts, Facebook posts or any other information you would like to submit to the court, but keep in mind that your ex-spouse can do the same. This is why it is important to abstain from any communication that isn’t informational or about the children.• Do not post anything online that you wouldn’t want the court to see. Anything you post online including your status updates, pictures and even jobs you apply for can be used in court. This also includes information and pictures of your children.

We face an entirely new world in the 21st Century filled with great technological advances that can be very helpful to limit disputes in custody or divorce disputes. The finger-pointing of “he-said/she-said” in court willalways be there, but it’s now much easier to substantiate these claims with electronic back-up.

If you are interested in assistance with your divorce or custody situation, please contact HARDEN JACKSON LLC at 317-569-0770 or www.hardenjacksonlaw.com.The above is for informational purposes only should not be considered legal advice. Each case is unique and you should consult an attorney for advice regarding your particular situation.

VIEWS Your thoughtsEditor,

Your Feb. 21 article on the Hamilton County Alliance brings visibility to the challenge many nonprofits experience in fundraising, especially during the tough economic times of the last four years. The Alliance promotes the economic vitality of Hamilton County. The communities, County and private sector have all been good partners, but the economy (especially related to the housing/homebuilding industry) doesn’t discriminate. The Alliance has weathered the storm and will be better for it.

Your writers did a good job capturing the facts, but that is only part of the story. The economic health of Hamilton County is everyone’s busi-

ness. The Alliance was created to be a convener of public/private interests in order to be an efficient and effective team in growing the county’s econo-my. We believe we have done this, but more work remains. The Alliance, as with many businesses, is changing to reflect new realities. What we are not changing is our overall mission of champion-ing the economic interests of the county (and communities) in a very competitive world. To do that, we need the continuing and growing par-ticipation of the private and public sectors.

Editor,I am writing in reference to the recent letter

from Marcia Wood, a first-time reader of Cur-rent, who commented on a religious article writ-ten by longtime contributor, Bob Walters.

Personally, I read Bob Walters› column first; it’s my favorite part of Current. I can’t believe you think his faith “should be of no interest to any reader.” Oh, really? Did you survey a bunch of readers before you made that statement? I have always been grateful Current would pub-lish a column such as his, and I certainly hope it continues to do so. It’s refreshing to have a paper in our community willing to publish articles concerning someone’s faith. Hey, you should attend Carmel High School’s Christmas program. They even sing about the Lord! You would be so shocked!

“Is Mr. Walters’ God better than mine?” Well, just who is your God? Is he the God of the Bible? Did his Son die on the cross for us all? Is your God the God of John 3:16? If he is, then you should be shouting it from the rooftops, or even writing a column in a neighborhood newspaper!

Please, Current: Do not stop printing Bob Walters’ column based on this one person’s objec-tions. She says we won’t find many in this com-munity who would broadcast their beliefs. I pre-sume she is busy taking all sorts of surveys on this subject. I, for one, am very happy to read about Bob’s beliefs in Current, and I look forward to reading many more of his columns. Bless you, Bob Walters! And bless Current for providing this sort of content in our weekly paper.

Editor,As one who enjoys riding my bicycle, I am

amazed at the behavior of some cyclists. The other night, as I was coming home from the grocery store, I entered the roundabout on 116th Street and Keystone Parkway. As I got through the circle, I noticed a bicyclist up ahead. As it was around 5:30 p.m., traffic was heavy and continuous. Then, without any warning, this cyclist put out his arm and began turning in front of me from the bike lane. It

was just one move: arm up and began turning. I tried to stop, groceries hit the floor of the car, but I needed to swerve out of his way. As I ma-neuvered, I could hear a very sarcastic, “Thank you!” from the cyclist. Much is written about aggressive vehicle drivers around bicycles, but just as a car must turn a signal on well before making a turn, a bicyclist also should give more warning of a turn across traffic.

I’m a sucker for bookstores. My newest book purchase is “Keep Your Brain Alive: 83 Neu-robic Exercises.” For a fathead like me, this is the perfect read. The author contends there is not enough unpredictability in our lives. We get into a rut because our brains take the easi-est paths – the routes we are most accustomed to. Dr. Lawrence Katz throws in some cerebral references to axons, dendrites and synapses to make it all sound very scientific, but it was lost on me. After all, I flunked biology.

This book encourages you to use each of your senses in new and innovative ways. One of the author’s suggestions is to brush your teeth with your nondominant hand, thus creating some new neural pathways. I tried it one night and found the experience enlightening. I then used my other hand to clean the toothpaste out of my nose.

In order to enhance your appreciation for good food, insert earplugs and maintain silence for the entire time you are having dinner. This permits you to fully relish what is on your pal-ate. I tried this for almost a week before my wife noticed anything out of the ordinary. Another exercise is to hold your nose when you put food

in your mouth so you can focus on its texture. That normally would have really ticked off Mary Ellen, but she was blindfolded. She must be reading the same book.

For another experience, change cars with your neighbor for a day. Have the thrill of handling a different kind of vehicle, maybe an SUV or a minivan. Of course, if you forget to tell the guy next door before you do this, you can then look forward to a new tactile experience: having your hands cuffed behind your back.

My favorite suggestion is to eliminate the traditional grocery list. Instead of jotting down the name of each item, write a description in-stead so you can fully appreciate its qualities. “It’s about the size and shape of a small soccer ball, tannish, heavily veined and dimpled on one end,” is one example provided by the au-thor. I think he’s talking about a cantaloupe, yet it also sounds like my brain or my rear end. But it couldn’t be my brain. After reading this entire book, I’m sure I’ve lost my mind.

The beloved Oreo cookie is celebrating its 100th birthday.

I’ll wait while you go get your party hats.Actually, this is kind of a big deal, and not

just because Oreos are the best (non-home-made) cookie ever. It’s really about continuity – something sticking around for the long haul which, you may have noticed, is not all that common anymore. And no, I am not talking about marriages involving Kardashians.

For the last few years, various business news sites have offered predictions about companies or products destined to disappear in the new future. For Americans, who tend to see com-mercial goods as old friends (Mr. Clean, Mrs. Olson, Libby the Kid and my old pal Ovaltine), this can be traumatic.

For example, I recently read American Air-lines will likely disappear this year.

American Airlines always represented the jet-setting life I imagined for myself long ago, and if it goes the way of the dodo, not to mention the DeSoto, I will miss it.

I’ve got about a bajillion bonus miles and upgrades on American I’m going to have to use up before they go under. I was going to say crash and burn, but it’s an airline and those are

two words you do not want to use when talking about airlines.

But back to Oreos. Look how they have out-lasted the competition. The nearly-identical Hy-drox cookies, which actually came before Oreos, disappeared back in the 1990s. This came as a surprise to me, because I actually thought Hy-drox disappeared long before.

I suppose there are some people out there who miss Hydrox cookies. Not me. I was an Oreo man all the way. I do know some people – a cer-tain grandmother comes to mind – who insisted Oreo and Hydrox were indistinguishable. We kids viewed this as one of many adult prevarica-tions intended to fool us into accepting an infe-rior (or, to be more accurate, cheaper) product – Drink-Aid instead of Kool-Aid, for example.

But 100 years, that’s a good long run and rea-son to celebrate, so here’s to you, Oreo. I think I’ll go buy some of you right now. Or right after I get done making some American Airline res-ervations. I have a feeling I might need to move quickly on that one.

Happy birthday to Oreo

Commentary by rick Sharp

Kudos to Current in Carmel for the recent cover story “Muddied Waters” that exposed the inexplicable pursuit of a drainage project to ben-efit two homeowners at the expense of others by the County Commissioners; all at taxpayer expense! Two items bear additional emphasis. The City Council is very concerned the county’s insistence it is enforcing terms of the settlement agreement between Carmel and NOAX, a posi-tion without foundation (in my opinion) as the county was not a party to the agreement, actu-ally jeopardizes our ability to comply and per-haps needlessly risks a breach of the agreement. Secondly, the point made by Mr. McCullough, a beneficiary of this drainage project, is incorrect in his conclusion. Mr. McCullough is quoted as saying, “The engineers picked the solution they think is best,” and that is only partially correct, at best. County Surveyor Kent Ward is on the

record at a meeting of the County Drainage Board (the County Commissioners) declaring the proposed fix is NOT the best engineering solution, but is the best political solution. Per-haps we should just get politics out of drainage problems and leave it to the engineers.

Actually Mr. McCullough, in his next state-ment, says, “He is OK with losing trees or hav-ing his landscaping disrupted if it would solve the problem,” which may have indeed solved the problem. The third alternative to this drain-age issue, presented by the county surveyor, is to run the redirected water through Mr. Mc-Cullough’s property at less than half the cost of the presently proposed fix. We have a winner!

nEw hEArT ThrEAT – Researchers have new evidence showing the ever-present plastic chemical, bisphenol A, is striking humans where it really hurts – the heart. British researchers studied 750 people with coronary artery dis-ease and 860 without. Those with heart disease tended to have higher levels of BPA in their urine a decade prior, when all the participants were healthy. It’s difficult to pinpoint the strength of the link between BPA and heart disease, says lead author Dr. David Melzer of Peninsula Medi-cal School. And because the study was observa-tional, the results don’t prove cause and effect. But BPA mimics estrogen and blocks the effects of male hormones. These hormonal shifts have been shown to contribute to heart troubles. -www.menshealth.com

For the past 15 years, Trish Oman has served as Riverview Hospital Foundation executive director, but her connection with the hospital began on Feb. 5, 1956. Born two months pre-mature, Oman weighed just 3 pounds, 6 and three-fourths ounces, and measured 16 inches in length. One month into her life, Oman grew to 5 pounds, 5 ounces, then to 6 ounces, 10 pounds at two months and 9 pounds, 8 ounces and 23 inches in length by her third month.

“I fought for my life for six weeks,” she said. “Riverview saved my life.”

Framed in Oman’s office are two old hospital bills from her childhood – a $35 tonsils removal charge and the hospital bill of $64.75 for medi-cine, anesthesia, hospital stay and lab and oper-ating room fees.

“A nurse told me my office could be where my mother delivered me,” said Oman. “I have a rich heritage here. It has come full circle.”

Now 56 years old, Oman is healthy and working with the foundation to ensure the hos-pital remains one of the best in the state. The Riverview Hospital Foundation is finishing up its $4 million fundraising efforts from purchas-ing a 128-slice CT scanner and catheterization lab.

The CT scanner is revolutionizing non-inva-sive diagnosis. The machine can scan the whole

body in seconds and provide incredibly sharp 3-D images of any organ. To doctors, Hallett said the images provide more than 1,000 words. The new technology provides the first clear, non-invasive images of the heart and its major vessels. It delivers non-superimposed, cross-sectional images of the body, which can show smaller contrast differences than conventional X-ray images. The scans can also be timed to use only images gathered between contrac-tions, so the heart and its vessels can be seen without the blurring caused by motion.

“You can see the image in a quarter of a second,” said Diagnostic Radiologist Richard Hallett, M.D., adding the scanner also allows for less radiation and X-ray dye.

This equipment can be used for cancer diag-nosis and treatment. The speed and precision of the scanner not only improves the image quality, but also allows physicians to look at dynamic processes. This can provide an early view of how

a patient is responding to therapy. In addition to the quality of its images, the

new CT scanner is changing the face of di-agnosis. The scanner’s ability to quickly and non-invasively spot small tumors, in a check on the lungs for example, or plaque in the case of cardiovascular disease, is making it the preferred option for diagnosis by an increasing number of

physicians. Oman said the foundation purchased

the CT scanner in October 2010 and the catheterization lab in May 2008. The new technology combines the two to better serve doctors and patients.

Marketing Director Sarah Estell said the response to the hospital’s heart scans

has been “phenomenal.”“The number of people coming to Riverview

– education and awareness – it’s been a great benefit,” she said. “We have a great hospital here. It’s a tremendous asset to the community, located in the heart of the county and it’s so alive. If you need it, it’s great to know it’s right here.”

wOMEn TurnED Off by STrESSED MEn – In a recent study, men with higher testosterone levels tended to have stronger immune systems and faces more attractive to women. This rela-tionship, however, was especially pronounced in men with low levels of cortisol, a stress hormone involved in the so-called fight-or-flight response. This finding, researchers say, suggests a man’s stress levels may play a key role in whether his testosterone is free to work its magic on women. Cortisol may even have a direct impact on a man’s facial features, although it’s much too soon to say if that’s the case or not, says Benedict Jones, a psychologist at the University of Aber-deen, in Scotland, who researches the influence of hormones on attractiveness. -www.health.com

Dance Marathon to get its own wing

Carmel High School held its annual Dance Marathon Feb. 25. This year’s dance raised $261,922, and this amount pushed the total amount raised by the event to more than $1 million. To show its thanks for the support the school’s students have given for the past eight years, Riley Hospital for Children, the benefi-ciary of the annual fundraiser, announced at the event it will name a new teen cancer wing after Carmel’s Dance Marathon.

iS ChinA’S bAiDu bETTEr ThAn GOOGlE? – Baidu is often referred to as China's Google. That might be insulting to Baidu. Baidu (biDu) is the market share leader in online search in China. Its lead over Google (GOOG) there is much larger than the lead Google enjoys over rivals Microsoft and Yahoo in the U.S. Baidu's market share in the fourth quarter was 78.3 percent, accord-ing to data from Beijing-based research firm Analysys International. Google's market share was only 16.7 percent. (In the U.S., Google has a slightly better than 50-percentage point lead over Microsoft and Yahoo, based on the latest rankings from comScore.) Of course, Google is at a disadvantage because it has willingly cut back on its presence in China due to concerns over censorship by the Chinese government. Still, Baidu appears to have far more growth potential than Google at this point. The question is whether the stock price already reflects that. Right now, it does not look like Baidu is too expensive. - www.money.cnn.

Motivation by David Cain

When I was a young boy, my sister and I used to get home from school before my parents would arrive. Even though it would only be 4 p.m., we’d eat. My dad, a food pusher, wanted to be sure his kids had something to eat when they got home. Something simple and easy to make that would hold us over until dinner.

He was at the local chicken place and, while ordering a bucket of their best, he asked what they did with the extra birds at the close of business. Yep, they threw all those golden delicious fowl in the trash at closing. It was the late 1970s and that’s how things worked. My enterprising, food-gathering father cut a deal with the manager. He said, “Any time you are closing and about to throw away the chickens, call me and I’ll come pick them up.”

The calls started sporadically at first. Here and there, the phone would ring at 10 p.m. It was the chicken guy. “Max, you want some chicken?” is all I heard when I picked up the phone as my dad answered. Within minutes, I’d hear the Lincoln Mark IV fire up and depart for the land of deep-fried goodness to haul home the booty.

He’d freeze the chicken and, when we got home from school, we’d microwave it. Sounds ridicu-lously unhealthy as a 40-something with kids, but hey, it was good! After about two months, the calls were coming every day. My dad would just be ready to leave at 10 p.m. daily. Soon, we had the freezer stuffed and were buying another freezer for the garage. It was the chicken years.

I asked my dad, “Don’t we have enough chicken? Can’t you just tell him you don’t want any more?” He said, “If I quit going, he might never call again.” Ah, the takeaway, one of the best motivators ever. The fear of losing what we have makes us continue on a path we know is wrong. We all want abundance over scarcity. It’s a concept I remember in business. Serve up the things people want and it’s like catnip – no one will want it to stop. For it to stop would be far more painful than just getting more chicken.

kraft foods (kfT) – Shares of the packaged food giant are up about 20 percent in the past 12 months. Investors have warmly received Kraft’s plan to create value by splitting itself into two companies, one a $35 billion global snacks com-pany and the other an $18 billion North Ameri-can grocery business. There is no firm date for the split, but it should happen in the next year or so.

intel (inTC) – Tech stocks aren’t exactly a bas-tion of big dividends. But mature semiconductor company Intel has been paying dividends since 1992, and has been increasing its dividend in recent years. You might think Intel shares would be struggling, given the weakness in consumer and business spending and the rise of tablets that use processors from rival chipmakers. But Intel posted big gains in 2011, thanks to impressive baseline demand for high-tech items. After all, it’s

not like computers are becoming less common because of the economic downturn. Intel saw fiscal 2011 revenue increase 24 percent from the previous year as profits increased 17 percent.

DuPont (DD) – Shares of DuPont lagged the market in 2011 with an 8 percent decline. How-ever, it has more than made up for that loss with a surge of 12 percent right out of the gate in 2012 – easily double the broader market’s advance. Dividend investors in for the long term know the staying power of DuPont. The company has paid dividends for more than 100 years and is a stable industrial giant that isn’t going anywhere. In fact, DuPont could be a good investment for the inevi-table economic recovery, because even if there is a rough market for another year or two, DuPont will hang tough and pay a decent dividend while you wait. -www.money.msn.com

At a time when the banking industry is tight-ening its purse strings, one of Jeff Magginis’ favorite questions to answer is if banks are still lending money.

“I don’t know about other banks, but I know we are,” says Magginnis.

Magginnis, vice president of business banking at KeyBank, has reason to be confident. Magginnis is part of a team recently named the top district in the nation. Additionally, he was selected to the Signature Circle, a designation given to the top 15 bankers in the nation.

The central Indiana district was named District of the Year by KeyBank. Top districts are chosen on rankings in a number of different categories, including business banking, middle market, small business and private lending. The cen-tral Indiana district did not do as well in 2010, but made it a

goal to aim high in 2011. “We went into this year knowing we should

be a top five team in the nation,” Magginnis said.

Magginnis credits teamwork, seasoned workers and a more efficient design in KeyBank’s operating structure as reasons for success.

Magginnis was not the only member of Key-Bank to be recognized. Mike Van Vierzen and Juan Gonzalez were named to the Signature Circle for their work in busi-ness banking. Karl Zachmann was named to the Signature Circle for small business lend-ing, as was Business Sales Officer Elaine Turner. Tom Schlehuber, team leader for the district, was also recognized.

Magginnis says the team would like to repeat as top district, but knows this is easier said than done.

“We don’t have to be No. 1, but we like to be high up on the list and be noticed.”

While the awards bestowed on KeyBank’s central Indiana region may not have a direct impact on customers, Mag-ginnis believes the honor is indicative of the quality of service they can expect.

“They are going to know if we can get a deal done quickly. We make sure the loans make sense for the bank and the borrower.”

I attended your Twitter for Business 101 work-shop and you mentioned tools that help you under-stand the best time to post tweets. What are they and how do they work? - RD

Before I (@TheDataDoc) go into the specific tools that allow you to be more strategic about when you tweet, let’s do a quick review.

In my workshops, I stress the three keys to being successful in social communications: lis-ten, engage and measure. Twitter has become the first place just about anything that happens in the world is first re-ported, making it a great resource for “listening” to what is happening in virtually any industry, or what others are saying about your business.

Applications like Flipboard for the iPad and iPhone, for instance, convert tweets into a dis-play that mimics magazines and newspapers, making the information you seek show up in an easily digestible form for us old timers.

Frequency of your tweets is nearly as impor-tant as timing your tweets.

I’ve tested a lot of the free and pay tools that do an excellent job including, Whentotweet, TweetStats and Tweriod, but one in particular I find exceptionally useful.

I really like the combination of features in a tool called Timely, especially for those struggling with the time element of social media.

Timely will quickly analyze your past tweets to help you understand the best times of the day to post, but then it goes one step further; it al-lows you to start queuing posts for both Twitter and Facebook based on the times it determined are best for your followers.

You can also track the performance of your posts with the built-in analytics, so you can un-derstand the type of content that strikes a chord with your followers.

The best feature of this tool set is the ability to add a “Create a Timely” to your Web brows-er’s bookmark bar, which allows you to quickly add relevant information to your queue as you are surfing the Internet.

If you aren’t able to sit down once a week and schedule out your Twitter and Facebook posts, you can use this tool to simply add posts to your queue as you come across information you want to share.

If you just keep adding relevant information to your queue, you can efficiently start to build a following because it will automatically keep posting at the best times; it even alerts you when your queue is empty!

TrAvElOCiTy TOPS ExPEDiA – A new American Consumer Satisfaction Index report focusing on Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline and Travelocity rated overall satisfaction with the sites at 78 on a 100-point scale last year, matching the record high set the year before. While the aggregate score was unchanged, individual results showed more fluctuation. After nine years in the top spot, Expedia de-creased 3 percent, from 79 points to 77, losing its crown to Travelocity, which increased from 77 to 79. Orbitz and Priceline also posted bet-ter numbers, increasing from 75 to 76 and 73 to 76, respectively. -www.travelkit.msnbc.com

bEST friES in AMEriCA – Todd Brock at Serious Eats did a full evaluation of fries from McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s, includ-ing painstaking reporting on relative fry dimen-sions, serving sizes, price by weight and sodium content, followed by a head-to-head taste test. As it happens, Brock is “blown away” by Burger King's offering – which was redesigned last year – admitting if nostalgia wasn't a factor, the big, flavorful fries might even beat out McDon-ald's. In the end, Burger King and McDonald’s were tied at 28 points out of a possible 30 (graded on crispness, structure, potato flavor and seasoning). McDonald's was declared "the ideal road trip fry," due to its small size and ultra-crispiness. Burger King, however, wins for its hefty size and exceptional potato flavor. Wendy's limp, chewy fries were the big loser, scoring only 15 out of 30. -www.esquire.com

Spirituality by Patti Payntor

What a great picture it was one Saturday morning in Carmel …

Forty-one thousand pounds of potatoes ar-rived by semi from Stevens Point, Wis., donated through the Society of St. Andrews to be dis-tributed at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church to those in need. Or …

We could say a community comes together in unity by combining its resources, concern for the community and ability to connect so those in need can be fed, and know their need is heard by a caring, unified community. Or …

In the Christian community, we say there is nothing better than the body of Christ uniting together to hear the need and to respond in action.

However you say it … the connections made it happen.

The Society of St. Andrew is committed to in-troducing people to Jesus by meeting their needs … and one of those needs is physical hunger. So in 2011, this ministry gleaned 14 million pounds of food, 10.1 million pounds for potato and produce project, 28,000 people volunteered and 72 million servings of food were delivered.

Dave, a member from St. Mark’s, contacted the above to offer the church’s lot for a deliv-

ery site, and the church notified all Hamilton County food pantries and groups the potato delivery would happen.

A farmer from Stevens Point donated 41,000 pounds of potatoes (that we called “seconds,” but I could see nothing “second” about them), which were delivered by a truck driver (who volunteered his time and truck) to St. Mark’s that designated morning … And in time, all of the churches and agencies who had food pan-tries and opportunities to reach those in need had organized their own transportation to pick up thousands of pounds of potatoes … in time … all the potatoes were distributed!

What a picture it was one Saturday in Carmel, made possible because of organized groups of people and individual persons who care enough to pay attention to the needs of others. I am sim-ply sharing this story I watched unfold so maybe all of us can realize the impact we as individuals, our organizations and our churches can make in the world. I am hopeful in 2012, I can see this kind of picture in Carmel even more!

Friendly bacteria can play a best support-ing role in your dog’s digestive health.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live in the digestive tract. There are a variety of different species belonging to genre that in-clude Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Strep-tococcus and Enterococcus. Some species, such as Lactobacillus, live primarily in the small intestine, while others, such as Bifida-bacteria, reside in the large intestine.

Benefits: All dogs can benefit from probi-otic, which aid digestion and modulate the immune system. Probiotic produce short-chain fatty acids, which inhibit the growth and activity of harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens, as well as providing other benefits to the intestines. Human studies have documented the effectiveness of certain strains in treating

diarrhea, irritable bowel and intestinal inflammation (fewer studies have been conducted on dogs) … probiotic may help prevent urinary tract infections, and can even reduce allergic re-actions by decreasing intestinal permeability and controlling inflammation.

Cautions: Some probiotic species require refrigeration in order to remain viable; follow label recommendations for storage. There are always questions on how many survive passage through stomach acid into the diges-tive tract, and whether they then colonize or must be continually replenished.

When using products intended for dogs, follow label suggestions for dosage. When using human products, give the full dosage to dogs weighing 40 pounds or more. Reduce the dos-age for smaller dogs or if you see loose stools.

Be sure to check with your local dog food professional for available products.

As a side note, some pet foods have been recalled due to the possible presence of Afla-toxin (mold by-product).

Certain lots of various dog food have been recalled because

they were manufactured with corn that tested above acceptable levels for aflatoxin, accord-ing to recall alerts from the Food and Drug Administration.

Recalled foods include Iams Smart Puppy ProActive Health Dry Dog Food, by Procter & Gamble, and River Run Dry Dog Food and Marksman Dry Dog Food by Nutrena, a division of Cargill Animal Nutrition.

ChAin Of CAT fECES CAn hArM huMAnS – There's more to cat excrement than meets the eye, and it may have the potential to cause disease in sea ot-ters and humans alike. A young cat can shed up to 100 million oocysts – little egg-like struc-tures – in its feces. All it takes is one oocyst to cause an infec-tion of Toxoplasma gondii. Largely, the par-asite is asymptomatic in hu-mans, but it can sometimes cause prob-lems for infants born to infected mothers – including hearing loss, mental disability and blindness. People with compromised immune systems may also develop serious complications. Up to 25 percent of Americans are infected with toxoplasmosis, and in some parts of Europe, it's as much as 50 percent. Humans carry it throughout their lives. -www.thechart.blogs.cnn

LIFESTYLE Decor

Decorating by vicky Earley

It really is such a difficult decision … should I decorate in modern or contemporary style? Oh wait … hold on … aren’t those the same?

We do tend to use the terms modern and contem-porary interchangeably, but in the world of design, the styles have distinct qualities and features.

Contemporary design is simply a nod toward the style of the day. Since the definition of the word contemporary is “of the moment,” contemporary design is a snapshot of the existing trends and culture. Yesterday’s contemporary is today’s vintage, and tomorrow’s contemporary is still unknown.

Because contemporary style is fluid, it can easily morph as new colors and pieces are incor-porated over time.

Recognizable features are reflective surfaces, clean and sleek lines, unexpected colors, graphic patterns, rounded forms and asymmetry. Lucite and stainless steel details are hallmarks of today’s contemporary, while recycled materials have a strong foothold. Concrete, paper and chrome are usually close by in contemporary setting.

Modern design is static and does not change with time. It was born of a desire for an escape

from the heavily ornate Victorian era. Thus, it is the bedrock of simplicity and minimalism.

Modern design is characterized by angular frames, low profiles and geometric and ab-

stract fabric patterns. Art is simple and devoid of fussy. Natural materials like linen, leather and teak wood are prevalent, unembellished and understated.

In modern design, the furniture is often raised from the floor with the help

of straight, unadorned legs. This purpose is to create a lighter, cleaner atmosphere. While the walls in modern design are typically shades of white and ivory, the interest is derived from carefully orchestrated shocks of color in fabrics and accessories.

Since modern design has its roots in the 1920s, it often imparts a retro effect with vin-tage pieces, such as Eames chairs, Formica tables and ottomans. In contrast, a futuristic element is created by contemporary design through the use of modular shelving and pod seating.

Am I modern or contemporary?

remodling by larry Greene

Original attic: This Indianapolis home was built in 1994, and the owners have lived in the home for six years. As their family was expand-ing and their needs were changing, they began to think about the need for additional space. They needed a third bedroom and an office. According to the husband, “We have a three-bedroom house and I work from home. My wife is expecting our second child at the end of March, and we had to decide to either move or remodel.”

remodeling versus moving: The homeown-ers weighed the pros and cons of moving versus remodeling. One noted, “We added up the costs of moving, including realtor fees, repairs, moving costs etc., which turned out to be a significant amount of money. We then used that as our start-ing budget for the attic remodel. We went a little bit over, but we were able to stay in our home. We like the location and the neighbors.”

Structural considerations: A structural engineer required beefing up the existing floor system by adding support to the floor joists. In addition, the design required extra foundation

support in the crawl space, including new foot-ings, piers and a large beam to support the new attic loading. This allowed a new stairway from the new attic space with oak balusters and oak handrail.

final results: The owners noted, “The con-struction blends well with the home. If you were to come in for the first time now, you would never know the attic addition was new. I was able to work with the designers to come up with not only a plan for future needs, but a design that served my business needs. I needed a large closet to store my samples. We placed the closet over our master bathroom so the space could be easily changed into a bathroom if we ever had a need for another bedroom suite. I also really like I have electrical outlets, so I don’t have cords running all over, and my office is removed from the house, so work does not influence family life.”

Creating office/closet from unfinished attic space

INSIDE & OUT Remodeling

nEw lifE fOr OlD fEATurE – The ancient ways of plastering walls are spreading into 21st-century homes. Many homeowners who want natural, durable and textured walls in their homes are choosing plaster. Earthen plasters can transform a living space and are free of the chem-icals found in paints. Prior to the widespread use of drywall in the 1950s, most walls in America were finished using gypsum plaster. Gypsum is a naturally occurring water-soluble mineral known as “hydrous calcium sulfate,” found as well-formed crystals. -www.miamiherald.com
