ORY Arts & Design District’s inaugural gallery walk
throws open the doors to Main Street showplaces.
STRIDING FORWARD
By Barbara E. Cohen
Members of the Carmel Arts & Design District Gal-
lery Association, a new group with plans to encourage evening revelry along Main Street’s gal-lery row, has scheduled its fi rst Gallery Walk for 6 to 9 p.m. this Saturday.
“This gallery walk is one of the most signifi cant events to occur since the development of the Arts & Design District,” said portrait artist and gallery owner Deborah DeFazio Lyons. “The gallery walk signifi es that the growing Arts & Design District now has enough galleries to justify a trip to Old Town strictly for the purpose of viewing and purchasing different types of art.”
Lyons has been waiting for this day since she opened her gallery – one of the fi rst business owners to secure a place along refurbished Main Street – more than a year ago.
Carmel galleries bare their waresSaturday’s event is a more about exposure
for the new businesses than about sales, at least for Soori Ardalan, owner of Soori Gallery, which recently relocated to the district from Zionsville.
“The event is an opportunity for people to come out to relax and view art with their friends,” she said. “It’s less about sales than about exposure for what we have in our gal-
leries. Our space is so new, some people think we’re still under construction – so the gallery walk is an opportunity for people to visit us and see that we are open.”
Ardalan thinks it will help for the galleries to host an evening event occasionally, especially for art lovers who work all day during the week and are busy with family activities on weekend days. She enjoyed being open during similar events in Zionsville, where art walks take place on the fourth Friday evening of every month.
Master bench jeweler Mark Grosser, owner of Grosser and Company, is looking forward to the event as well.
“It’s wonderful to see that the art district’s inaugural art walk is fi nally going to take place,” he said. “We’ve been anticipating this for some time. With the district’s great selec-tion of galleries, shops and restaurants, I know everyone will have a good time.”
At Art and Soul Gallery and Frame, owner Wes Dwyer is “delighted we’re able to get this event coordinated.”
“We have a number of galleries participating, with a tremendous variety of work of high quality.” Echoing a senti-ment heard all over Old Town, Dwyer said, “It will exceed most people’s expectations.”
What’s on view, what to doEstablishments participating
in the inaugural Gal-lery Walk include Ami Gallery, Art and Soul Gallery and Frame, Debo-rah DeFazio Lyons Portrait Studio and Gallery, Evan Lurie Fine Art Gal-lery, Grosser and Company Master Jewelers Inc., Laguna Gallery, Magdalena Gallery and Soori Gallery, all on Main Street; and Blue Egg Gallery, sponsored by Red
Robyn Realty, at 430 N. Range Line Road.Participating galleries will be serving a
variety of refreshments to nibble on while you shop, and many artists will be available to talk with you about their work.
At Deborah DeFazio Lyons Portrait Studio and Gallery (43 W. Main St.), the artist’s latest portraits will be on display, with refreshments that include wine and cheeses. The gallery will stay open until 10 p.m.
Soori Ardalan’s gallery (258 W. Main St.) features fi gural sculpture in bronze, stone, wood, Lucite and acrylic by Mi-chael Wilkinson, Martin Fichinger, Frederick Hart, Angelo Basso, Jerry Joslin, Misha Frid, Tuan and Erte and paintings by the Iranian artist Mahmoud Farshchian. The gallery will stay open until 10 p.m., with refreshments not yet determined at press time.
Grosser and Company (2 W. Main St.) has planned an opening wine-and-cheese recep-
tion for colored-pencil artist Clark Stoeckley to coincide with the gallery walk. Clark, who hails from St. Louis, is a nationally recognized
artist making his second appearance at the gallery, which will display his work through January 2008.
Works by Spanish fi gura-tive painter Nydia Lozano, Dutch impressionist Pete van Berkel and landscapist Henrietta Milan, of Texas, will be on view at Art and Soul Gallery and Frame (One S. Range Line Road). Art and Soul will also have a wine-tasting party and stay
open until 10 p.m.At Ami Gallery (240 E. Main St.), owners
Lois and Jim Wyant invite you to view works by award-winning photographer Jim Wyant. The gallery will be open 6 to 9 p.m.
Blue Egg Gallery, the latest art space to set-tle in the Arts & Design District, will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday. Works on view include original artworks in oil, acrylic, watercolor, pencil, photography, stained glass and weaving, as well as signed art prints. The
gallery specializes in work by artists from Indiana. Select works of art are discount-ed 10 percent, artists will be on hand, and light refreshments will be served.
After stroll-ing around the galleries, stick around to visit the other shops
and restaurants open on Saturday in Old Town Camel, too.

VIEWS
OUR TAKEArts – Whose Venue is It? Voters – Hold the Pattern
It is our position that now is the time for our fair city to take the lead with the Carmel Per-forming Arts Center. We have always liked the idea that our downtown is undergoing a transformation of astonishing proportions. And we have been clear that we support the redevelop-ment – not blindly, but thoughtfully and intentional-ly. But recent news from the esteemed institution of higher learning, Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis, announced that their research showed that the sense of security held by common folk like us in downtown Indianapolis fell another 10 percent this year. When comparing this year’s and last year’s after-dark figures, the numbers fell almost
a quarter. Wow. That said, we are deeply concerned. Mayor-
elect Greg Ballard, Prosecutor Carl Brizzi and Sheriff Frank Anderson must bring their considerable abili-ties to correcting this distress-ing course. And we must help in any way prudent. In the mean time, struggling arts or-ganizations should actively pur-sue a relationship with the Car-
mel Performing Arts Center. If art for the people is the objective, then bring the art to where we the people chose to be – all the people – young and not-so-young. If only 34 percent of us feel safe in downtown Indianapolis after dark, who are the arts organizations serving if they refuse to consider venues in other locations?
It is our position that the electoral process served its function, perhaps not perfectly but effectively none-the-less. Pun-dits will look for patterns to explain the fact that our local government was overwhelm-ingly (by political standards) returned to office while at the same time the equally incumbent and entrenched regime of the city to our south was uniformly swept out. We’d argue that there was no “throw out the bums” or “times are great” mood among the electorate, that endorsed some lemming-like approach to voting. Vot-ers made decisions.
As shocking as it may seem to some, we
looked at the candidates, thought about the various options, and took action. Sure, we would have liked 100 percent of eligible vot-
ers to have shown up at the polls on election day – and sure, we would have liked a more healthy consideration of issues (some “candidates” elected not to respond to this local paper’s questions, thus declining an opportunity to freely broadcast their views to all of our community) – but
we remain convinced that voters are not stupid. We make decisions based on what we believe to be best for ourselves and our families given the available choices. And then, we take action.

Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. The easiest is to e-mail it to [email protected]. The old-fashioned way is to snail mail it
to Current in Carmel, 1 South Range Line Road, Carmel, IN 46032. Keep letters to 100 words max (we may make exceptions), and be sure to include your home zip code and a daytime number for verification.
WRITERS’ RULES
‘REPULSIVE’ TOPICS
Editor:In your Oct. 23rd issue, Danielle Wilson
wrote about “Ten More Things That Bugged Her.” While I enjoy relating to Danielle’s column on life with children, I, too, have something that “bugs” me. Her obsessive need to write a column on bodily functions, such as last week’s.
This is not what I care to read about. Seri-ously folks; it’s repulsive!
I have four children, and she is far more obsessed about the sights, sounds and smells that come out of her and her children’s body
than my own children are. Please realize that the only “crap/poop”
going on here is her writing when she chooses these types of subjects. Constipation equates to her writer’s “blockage.” Increase your knowledge, fiber girlfriend; having four chil-dren of my own I know there are many other entertaining subjects on the fine art of kiddom that will having you flowing (your writing blockage, that is) in no time.
Hopefully she’ll get a clue or I’ll start using that page of the Current in other ways and save myself money on toilet paper.
Heidi Nisley-Landwerlen46033
WE BELIEVE ALSO
Editor:I read Mr. Greenberg’s Oct. 30th article,
“A Miracle Hits Home,” with great interest. Roughly 17½ years ago when our first child was born, my wife and I were preparing to leave the hospital to try our hands at parent-hood. The nurse who was checking us out, for no apparent reason, put her hand on our son’s forehead and suggested that she check his temperature one last time before we left.
An hour later we learned that our son had Strep B Meningitis, a deadly and painful disease that is known for causing severe dam-age when it cannot finish the job. After three
weeks in intensive care and another two years of tests and prayer, we were told that our son had no impairment at all from this disease, probably because of early detection. Indeed, today he is an A student, a talented athlete and a gifted musician. But for the hand of an atten-tive nurse, we would have taken home a very sick infant who, in the care of new parents, may very well have died.
Yes, Mr. Greenberg, we too believe in miracles. I had breakfast with mine this morn-ing.

FROM THE LEFT FROM THE BACKSHOPBALLARD THANKFULLY
ON THE CASE
We’re baaaaaaack! OK, go ahead, admit how much you missed us. (Stop, please! This is getting embarrassing.)
Good to know that Carmel’s Best Weekly Newspaper™ cinched the most significant election turnaround in Indiana history, isn’t it? Our endorsement of Republican challenger Greg Ballard in the Indianapolis mayoral race certainly did the trick. We’ll also share credit with the voters south of our city’s border who simply had enough of “Band-Aid” Bart Peter-son and his mighty mismanagement of (fill in the multiple blanks). So Bart got the boot, and now we’re confident Ballard, no doubt with his hands full, will set the ship upright once again. Don’t underestimate the mayor-to-be’s decorated military background. We’re not talk-ing police state here; this is about discipline and order, two critical elements sorely lacking in the recent past. We have every confidence Ballard will provide Carmel with a neighbor whose crime and other sordid problems will decrease dramatically. Be patient, but expect great results!
* * *
Speaking of Ballard, the Marion County GOP threw a huge bash to thank volunteers at the Murat Center in downtown Indy. The bonus they received was Ballard’s amazing win and control of the City-County Council. Lots of young faces with wide grins and tired eyes partied late into the night at the Murat, with many exiting to Broad Ripple or private parties afterward. And who can blame anyone for a late start on Wednesday? We’re sure many thought if they’d close their eyes, they might wake up to find it was all a dream and Bart had been re-elected in a landslide. Isn’t that what another newspaper predicted?
* * *
Kevin “Woody” Rider hosted a private party after the polls closed to thank supporters
and celebrate getting the most votes of any councilman on the ticket. Cheers and jeers for Carmel and Indianapolis-area results could be heard as precinct data rolled in. Weary poll workers, campaign staff and local celebrities exited by 10 a.m. Or, perhaps they all headed to the Murat to celebrate Ballard’s amazing win? Ya gotta love Woody. As commanding leads were mounting for him and incumbent Ron Carter in the at-large races, he told a visi-tor, “Hey, this is a long way from over.” He was serious. Game face. Priceless!
* * *
Get your fannies out of the house and en-joy the Arts & Design District’s Gallery Walk on Saturday. This is the type of event – this one features at least eight galleries – that further legitimizes the district. And as long as you’re out and about, give yourself an early Christmas present. We have!
* * *
Sadly, almost lost in the shuffle is the rapid progress being made on the Renais-sance Hotel going up on North Meridian (North Pennsylvania entrance), just west of the Conseco campus. Here’s a didja: Didja know its contiguous convention center will provide a heretofore unavailable resource to this city? Not for free, of course, but it’ll be there for the “renting.” We’re looking forward to its open-ing some time next year. Too, it gives Carmel yet another inn, one with a more upscale reputation. Something for everyone; that’s our city. Doesn’t stink.
JOB SUGGESTIONS FORCARMEL’S LOSING CANDIDATES
So Henry Winckler lost the mayoral race in Carmel. So did all the Demo-cratic City Council
candidates. What do they do now? That’s easy.
Winckler should run for the Indiana House seat currently oc-cupied by Jerry Torr, or the Senate seat currently occupied by Mike Delph. I’d love to see Winckler represent us in Indianapolis. He, along with David Orentlicher, would actually represent our needs and desires, and not those of the religious right.
Jerry Torr is a nice guy. But let’s face it. His is merely one more vote for Brian Bosma, and that’s the last thing we need. Remember, Bosma is the one who wants to write discrimi-nation against gays and lesbians into our state Constitution. He wants to place restrictions on the reproductive rights of Hoosier women. And he fights for Corporate America over the working man.
Bosma’s (and therefore Torr’s) govern-ment doesn’t “have your back” when you can’t afford prescriptions, when you’re one health crisis away from bankruptcy, or when you wonder how you’re going to afford col-lege education for your kids. I’ll bet Henry Winckler’s government does.
I also can’t see Winckler wanting to waste valuable legislative time arguing gay mar-riage. And Torr was the one who sponsored
the legislation that put Indiana on the wrong time zone. Perhaps Winckler would actually work to put the Central Time vs. Eastern Time question to a vote of all Hoosiers. After all, he campaigned for mayor on a platform of “more input from the citizens.” If the Hamilton County Democratic Party puts as much effort into a Winckler Indiana House race as it did the recent mayor’s race, he might just have a chance. Especially the more he ties Torr to Bosma.
As for Marnin Spigelman, I believe he should simply move
to Fishers. Think about it. Fishers would be a great town for him. He could spend a total of many hours each year idling his car at all their overloaded four-way stops. He could enjoy their very small downtown, complete with no Arts District or Monon Trail. And State Road 37 has become the Keystone Avenue of Fishers, but with no immediate plans to relieve traffic congestion.
Fishers does have a big city park, but there’s no water park there to waste taxpayer money. And there isn’t nearly as much com-mercial development there as we have in Carmel – at least not yet – so his argument about mortgaging our future will actually be appropriate there. He should love it.

Last Tuesday morn-ing before 5, traffi c was heavier on the streets of Carmel than usual for that
time of day. Many of the 831 Hamilton County poll workers needed to run Election Day 2007 live in Carmel and honored their promise to arrive by 5 a.m. and stay until after 6 p.m. in one of the 57 polling places scattered across our city.
They arrive on the scene carry-ing coffee mugs, coolers, food and drink to sustain them throughout the long day. It takes an army of polling place volunteers to defend our right to exercise what many take for granted.
Each polling location has an inspector and at least two clerks. There used to be, and in
some rare instances still is, one Re-publican and one Democrat judge. Unfortunately, those positions go mostly unfi lled these days, as fi nd-ing willing poll workers is getting harder and harder to do. The role of judge is designed to ensure fairness and impartiality for all situations and workers throughout the day.
When the polls open at 6 a.m., the offi cials have already checked out the machines, set up tables, put up signs and organized the facility. For the rest of the day, the civic-minded helpers guarantee a
fair and impartial election, open to all citizens who have registered to vote.
On Nov. 6, dedicated voters made their way to school cafeterias and church base-ments, greeting their neighbors along the
way to cast their ballot for the man or woman that they believed would best represent their hope for the future. It would be unusual, but a welcomed problem, if there were more than a 10-minute wait to make your voice heard. The line is more likely just a trickle, making for a long, slow election day the workers must endure.
Although I refer to them as volunteers, poll workers actually receive a small stipend from the county for their 13-hour day. In my opinion, they are still volunteering as good-natured, civic-minded election veterans dedicated to the reign of democracy.
Consider joining their ranks next time and give Tammy Baitz, Hamilton County clerk, a call at 776.9629.

After receiving three e-mails within 24 hours of each other, each from a different source, I am really worked up. So much so that I felt
the best outlet for my frustration would be an article. Lucky you!
Here’s why I’m mad. The fi lm “The Golden Compass” is being released Dec. 7. You might recall me mentioning this event as the only
entertainment I have to look forward to now that the Harry Potter series is over and the sixth movie installment isn’t due out for another year. The e-mails informed me to boycott the Compass fi lm and to not, under any circumstances, let my children see it. Note that none of these individuals have read the book upon which the fi lm is based;
they were just going on information passed to them from various Christian groups and Web sites.
I, on the other hand, have actually read “The Golden Compass,” the fi rst in a trilogy called “His Dark Materials.” The author is Phillip Pullman, a self-proclaimed atheist who wrote the stories to counter C.S. Lewis’ “Narnia Chronicles.” As one might expect from someone opposed to organized religion, Pullman attacks the Catholic Church and has his tale end with God dying. Obviously, Christians feel threatened by tales such as these, but I think they’re missing the point.
Like “The Da Vinci Code” (which I adored!), “The Golden Compass” is FICTION! It’s one very talented man’s creative take on
the world. He’s not saying you have to believe that there are parallel universes and that God is a decrepit angel with Alzheimer’s. He’s just writing to entertain and to perhaps make you question some of your own beliefs. And far from what the e-mails would have you believe, Pullman’s message is not subversive in the least. His feelings on Catholicism in particular are crystal clear: he hates the church.
So what really honks me off is that my fellow Christians seem to feel that I can’t think for myself; that as an educated adult, I cannot discern whether a fi lm is suitable for me and my family. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Pullman is a great writer and a wonderful storyteller. His heroes, despite their fl aws, discover courage, conquer fears, and learn that love and friendship are more important than power. And from the trailers, the movie looks to be every bit as good. (The irony here is that the Christian agenda to blackball this fi lm will ensure its success at the box offi ce. I love it!)
Whether or not I take my children will be based on how appropriate the fi lm is for kids under 10. Violence? Nudity? Language? These
are what I want to shield them from right now. But shelter them from a world where, in reality, most others believe differently? Miss an opportunity to teach tolerance and acceptance and that there are many positive faith choices out there besides Christianity? That would be tragic! If you don’t question your beliefs every once in a while, how can you know how strong your faith is? And for goodness sake, are we living in Nazi Germany? Are book bonfi res on tap for next year?
I just want to encourage you to think for yourself. Read the book and then decide whether or not it’s something to which you want to expose your children. I’m well-prepared for backlash on this one; that’s part of living in a country where we have both the freedom of religion and of speech. But we also have the freedom to see any movie we please, especially if it’s showing at a theater with outstanding popcorn.
Peace out!

NEW DAD’S CLUB PRESIDENT HAS FUNDRAISING BACKGROUND
Career lives often have a way of coming full circle. Such is the case with Mike Mc-
Ginley, the new president of the Carmel Dads’ Club. Mike started his career as a teacher and coach. His student teaching assignment as an undergrad at Butler University was at Carmel High School.
“The guys in the education department at Butler had to tell me how to get there. Back then, it seemed like quite a drive. That was the 1964-65 school year. And it was the fi rst time I ever heard of the Dads’ Club,” says Mike. He remembers Bill Shepherd explaining how the Dads’ Club had started.
Around 1958, a group of baseball parents wanted to or-ganize a team to play against other towns such as Westfi eld. A year later, the Carmel Pups Football team was formed. It was a very “ahead-of-the-curve traveling team.”
From those humble begin-nings nearly 50 years ago, the Dads’ Club has grown with Carmel. Today Mike oversees a full-time staff of seven, and Dads’ Club volunteers number around 2,000! Those staff members and volunteers see to it that 11,800 Carmel kids play 11 different sports.
“Some sports like soccer have two seasons so we have 19 seasons,” Mike proudly pointed out.
Mike and I go way back. When I was in seventh grade, Mike led my Cathedral Irish to an undefeated football season in 1959. Later I taught English at Cathedral and Mike was the principal. Later still I served as board chair-man and Mike as president.
Mike has spent about 18 years running his own professional fundraising organization. He’s still fi nishing up on one contract with the International Athletic Foundation, which
runs the sport of track and fi eld. As such, he’s traveled to Japan re-cently and met with track offi cials from such countries as England, South Africa, Japan, Brazil and of course the U.S.
This is the fi rst time the Dads’ Club has had a “paid” president. Before it was all volunteers. It’s a bold move by the venerable, iconic Carmel organization.
“People think the Dads’ Club doesn’t need to raise money. Just like at Cathedral. That’s a misper-ception we must overcome,” answered Mike when asked about
his biggest challenge. “Our facilities are in des-perate need of upgrades and maintenance. We were the fi rst organization of this type and we
therefore have older facilities than some of our neighboring communities. The Noblesville baseball complex on 32 comes to mind.”
When asked what he liked most about his new challenge, Mike was quick to respond, “I’m in awe of the VOLUNTEER EFFORT here at the Dads’ Club. The commis-sioners (of the various sports)
are truly amazing. They and their assistants sacrifi ce so much for their sports.”
Mike’s immediate task is to embark upon a feasibility study for a possible capital campaign. With his background, he’s well prepared for such a challenge.
“We need to fi nd out if we need and can fund an indoor facility for basketball, volley-ball and maybe indoor soccer. The schools are great in letting us use their facilities, but we may need to stretch especially as the number of kids participating continues to rise.”
Welcome to Carmel, Mike! And The Luck of the Irish to you and the Dads’ Club! Danny O’Malia is a Carmel resident. Contact him at [email protected].

UNITY
GET IN THE SPIRITThe Carmel Clay Historical Society will
present its 11th Annual Holiday Home Tour Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. The tour will visit four homes decorated for the holidays, and proceeds from the ticket sales go back to the society.
It has been a very successful fundraiser, said Carmel Clay Historical Society com-mittee member Judy Huber.
The homes visited have a past or a lot of antiques, Huber said. The tour will spend about 20 minutes at each home, and the tour will last about two hours. In the past, about 200 people total attended
the tours. Huber said the dinner and tour package sells out quickly. There is also an auction the night of the dinner.
There are three varieties of the tour. The homes tour package is $20 per person and is on Dec. 1 at 10 and 11 a.m. and at 1 and 2 p.m. The hors d’oeuvres and tour package is $35 per person and is on Dec. 1 at 5:30 p.m. The dinner and tours package is $55 per person and is Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. All tours meet at Carmel Christian Church, 463 E. Main St.
For reservations, call 587.1017.
The Carmel Redevelopment Commis-sion presents the second annual Holiday in the Arts & Design District on Dec. 1, 8, 15 and 22 from 1 to 5 p.m.
There will be free carriage rides, elves with live reindeer and a Santa house, with Mr. Claus available for pictures with chil-dren. There also will be carol-ers and other holiday entertain-ers. Local merchants will have open houses and some will have special holiday events.
Dec. 1 is the kickoff for the event, and will include el-ementary school choirs and an-nouncement of the art contest for Carmel Clay students before the tree lighting ceremony at 5 p.m. The tree is located at the northeast corner of Range Line Road and Main Street, at the National City Bank parking lot.
Last year, there were about 500 to 1,000 people each Sat-urday of the event, said Andrea Stumpf, the communications manager for the Carmel Rede-velopment Commission Arts &
Design District Office. Weather plays a large part in how many people attend.
“We had a lot of fun last year,” Stumpf said. “It was odd; one weekend we had 60 degree weather. People were walking around in short sleeves.”
The city of Carmel and the Carmel Arts Council will present “Holiday on the Square,” the city’s holiday light-ing ceremony, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Carmel Civic Square.
The main event is the tree-light-ing ceremony, which will be at dusk (about 5:45 p.m.). This is also when all of the city’s holiday lights will be lit.
Additionally, photos with Santa Claus will be available for $2 or $3 per family. The proceeds benefit the Carmel Arts Council Scholarship Fund. There also will be a kids craft booth where children can make snowflake ornaments.
“The line for Santa gets rather long, so this is something they can do,” Community Relations Specialist Michelle Krcmery said.
A caricature artist, jugglers and balloon artists also will be entertain-ing the crowd. In the past, Krcmery said, the event drew 1,500 to 2,000 people. Other entertainers include Clay Mid-dle School Choir, the Central Indiana Dance Ensemble, Carmel Symphony Orchestra Brass Quartet and Common Stock Entertainment.
“It’s a fun holiday atmosphere,” Krcmery said. “It’s a holiday tradition and a good way
to get in the holiday spirit.”Krcmery said attendees are encouraged
to bring an unwrapped gift for local families in need. She said the gifts go toward the fire department’s Christmas Assistance Program.
OFFICIAL TREE LIGHTING IS SATURDAY
Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre will perform its 15th Annual “A Beef & Boards Christmas” Nov. 23 through Dec. 31.
Although the theater has been putting on a Christmas show since 1984, the show changes each year, Media Relations Coordinator Patri-cia Rettig said.
This year the show features new costumes, as well as “every Christmas song you can think of,” Rettig said. “They sing favorite Christmas songs with a fresh sound.”
This year’s show has six Christmas-themed acts. Theater owner Douglas E. Stark will play Santa Claus.
“He’s a father-figure around here,” Rettig said. “It’s going to be so much fun.”
There are 46 performances of “A Beef & Boards Christmas.” Rettig said the shows tend to sell out.
Tickets are $32.50 to $52.50; this price in-cludes the holiday dinner buffet. For times and reservations, call the box office at 872.9664 or go to www.beefandboards.com. The theater is at 9301 Michigan Road, Indianapolis.

T How close are you to God?
Pretty close? Not so close? Don’t believe?
Truth is, we all have a different answer to that question. Just like each of us has our own picture of heaven, hell, or the nature of God’s existence, we each have in our own hearts a unique sense of our closeness to and relation-ship with God. There’s not really a “right” answer, and it usually changes over time anyway, but I pose it as one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves.
How close am I to God?My reality in God, Christ and the Holy
Spirit is something that I can talk about, and it might even make sense to others of similar religious orientation, but it’s not something I can share completely with anyone except God. The only real way to share our closeness to and love of God with others, after all, is to love others.
Your reality with God, your closeness to God, is your own business. Not worse or bet-ter than mine … just, your own. It’s unique, special and important.
Oh, so important.When we question each other’s closeness
to God it hits at the core, I think, of what an-noys non-believers and edge-believers about
deep believers. If I claim a firm reality in Christ, oddly enough, people who don’t actually believe in Christ will perceive it as a smack down; a claim of superiority, even though it is actually, biblically, a claim of humility.
Now turn that question around and ask “How close is God to you?” and the Christian answer is unswerving and the same for every living soul: God is not only with you and close to you, He is in you.
Christ is in you because the fully God Christ became fully human to create communion be-tween God and Man, and put the
Holy Spirit of God in each of us. That’s sort of the Bible, especially the New Testament, in a nutshell.
My point is that I can’t tell or compel any-one to be closer to God, but I can absolutely with all confidence tell anyone that God is this close to them.
He is with us, and in us. That includes you, and that’s a fact.
Bob Walters ([email protected]) begins his second year writing this column and both congratulates the editors of Current In Carmel for their success and thanks them for this column space.

HOW close is god to you? EVEN IN THIS FREEST OF LANDS,CAN THERE BE OPEN DISCUSSION?
On Jan. 23, 1825, when he was 89, John Adams wrote to Thom-as Jefferson:
“My Dear Sir,“We think ourselves possessed,
or at least we boast that we are so, of liberty of conscience on all subjects and of the right of free inquiry and private judgment in all cases, and yet how far are we from these exalted privileges in fact.
“There exists, I believe, throughout the whole Christian world, a law which makes it blasphemy to deny, or to doubt the divine inspiration of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, from Genesis to Revelations. In most countries of Europe it is punished by fire at the stake, or the rack, or the wheel. ….
“In America it is not much better; even in our Massachusetts, … a law was made in the latter end of the last century, repealing the cruel punishments of the former laws, but sub-stituting fine and imprisonment upon all those blasphemies upon any book of the Old Testa-ment or New. Now, what free inquiry, when a writer must surely encounter the risk of fine or imprisonment for adducing any arguments for investigation into the divine authority of those
books? …“I think such laws a great
embarrassment. … It is true, few persons appear desirous to put such laws in execution, and it is also true that some few persons are hardy enough to venture to depart from them; but as long as they continue in force as laws, the human mind must make an awk-ward and clumsy progress in its investigations. I wish they were re-pealed. The substance and essence of Christianity, as I understand it, is eternal and unchangeable, and will bear examination forever; but it has been mixed with extrane-
ous ingredients, which, I think, will not bear examination, and they ought to be separated.”
— John AdamsHow much freedom of inquiry do we have
today? Can we have free and open discussions about the Bible if that includes pointing out its contradictions, errors or questionable moral-ity? What did Adams and Jefferson consider to be the extraneous ingredients that “ought to be separated” from Christianity? I will explore these matters in subsequent columns.

A sixth-grader was in an after-school play rehearsal. Drinks were not allowed on stage, but she brought a can of soda anyway.
The soda accidentally spilled on the stage, which infuriated the play’s directors. The directors angrily asked, “Who did this?” The sixth- grader did not respond because she was afraid of being yelled at. Eventually, the directors continued with the rehearsal.
The girl was deeply saddened and frightened by not admitting to her misdeed. Upon arriving home, she told her mother of the situation. Her mother, recognizing her daughter’s dilemma, said, “While this isn’t necessarily an earth-shattering event, what do you feel you should do about it?”
The girl thought about it for a while
and said, “I’ll probably feel better if I tell someone that I was the one who brought the soda on stage, but I don’t want to get in trouble.”
Mom said, “You do whatever it is that will allow you to be rid of the guilt you’re feeling. I’ll support your decision either way but I feel, for your own peace of mind, you should
consider telling the truth. It’s your choice.” After a fretful night, the sixth-grader
went to school and chose to tell her teacher, willingly prepared to absorb whatever consequences her teacher believed would
be necessary. Her teacher sensed how badly the girl felt about not owning up to her actions and realized how diffi cult it must have been for the girl to speak up, especially since it was the next day and, most likely, forgotten by everyone involved. She said to the girl, “Thank you for telling the truth. That tells me more about your character than the spilled cola, and character counts with me.”
The moral of this story is that the girl held herself accountable for her actions, her mom empowered her to make a choice, and her teacher recognized the lesson by honoring the child’s integrity. Do you have a “life’s lesson” you’d like to share? I’d love to hear from you!

LES How much time do you
spend thinking about how businesses will market them-selves and communicate with customers in 2012?
Probably not a lot. Even so, the year 2012 is only fi ve years away and time fl ies, especially when technology creates exponential changes
that can make six months look like six years.
Take online video, for instance. It was made famous practi-cally overnight by You-Tube. However, it was only made practical by the ever-increasing speed of the Internet. (Don’t try to watch YouTube on a dial-up modem; you could paint your house in the time it takes to
load the video.) As more consumers and businesses have
high-speed Internet and more people spend time online, it makes sense that video will become essential in the Web 2.0 business environment. After all, video is the next best thing to seeing someone live and, if done correctly, it can create greater understanding without leaving your offi ce. Think of the travel
savings alone. In 2012, most companies will enter the
broadcast business. Web sites will become micro-television stations. They will be the platform for a business to “broadcast,” or better yet, “niche-cast” information about their products, services, and even their employees.
Just like the public’s fascination with the lifestyle of a professional athlete, people are intrigued with the life of the average person (look at the popularity of reality TV). Maybe less intrigued when stacked against the pro-athlete, but nonetheless willing to be drawn into their world. After all, great companies
have great people working there and making that personal connection between the employee and the customer creates an even stronger partner-ship.
No one can know exactly how the future will look. However, with television signals delivered via the Inter-net by 2010, it’s a safe bet that your “screens” will become even more interconnected.
Maybe we can fi -nally abandon the term
“television” and stick with the recently adopted and perhaps more fi tting term for that monster in our basement – the “big screen.” But what does that make the cell phone? A “small screen”?
It’s becoming one big world of screens. If you haven’t started thinking about 2012, it might just be time.

I am involved with an organization called All Pro Dad. It is the brainchild of Tony Dungy and Colts wide receivers coach Clyde
Christensen. It was born out of conversations between the two men many years ago in Tampa about the challenges of being a good dad and raising great kids.
Fast forward about 10 years. There were around 1,200 dads and kids at the Indianapolis Colts complex Nov. 3 for the “H.H. Gregg All Pro Dad Father and Kids Experience.” The group heard from Dungy, Christensen, Colts punter Hunter Smith and a number of other people who are passionate about being great fathers to their children.
The kids and their dads rotated through different stations, where:
• They practiced their own touchdown dance in the end zone of the Colts’ practice fi eld at the Running Back Station.
• They kicked fi eld goals on the Colts practice fi eld.
• Dads wrote out a statement about why they are proud of each of their kids.
• Dads and kids hugged each other and said, “I love you.”
More than 100 volunteers made sure the day went smoothly. Corporate sponsor Chick-
fi l-A was there, feeding the vol-unteers chicken nuggets and oth-er goodies. Community Health Network was there educating us on various aspects of healthy liv-ing. Thrivent Financial and H.H. Gregg were key sponsors. Dungy was all over the place, getting his picture taken with different groups, doing TV interviews, signing the occasional autograph and a dozen other things.
In addition to the annual event at the Colts’ complex, there are nearly 700 All Pro Dad chapters across the country, including in Carmel, Westfi eld
and Zionsville. All Pro Dad’s Day is a one-hour monthly breakfast held before school or on a Saturday where fathers and their children meet with other dads and kids.

D’Vine a Wine Bar5252 E. 82nd St., Suite 102, Indianapolis
Phone: 577.1630Hours: Closed Sunday, 5 p.m. to close Monday through SaturdayWeb site: dvineawinebar.com
Despite serving food, D’Vine a Wine Bar doesn’t see itself as a restaurant. “There are hundreds and hundreds of restaurants in Indianapolis,” general manager Tony Fese said. Instead, D’Vine is a wine bar that also happens to serve food. “Our philosophy is we’re obsessively wine-focused,” Fese said. D’Vine originally opened in 2004 at Woodfi eld Centre near 82nd Street and Keystone Avenue, but
moved this August to Allison-ville Road and 82nd Street in a space formerly occupied by Cibo Italian Restau-rant. The new loca-tion is 70
percent larger. D’Vine’s 40 employees are also well-versed in wines. “We keep the staff trained on the newest wines avail-able,” Fese said, “They’re tasting literally dozens of wines a week.”

• Age: New construction• Location: Near 151st Street and U.S. 31• Type: Custom Home• Neighborhood: Bridgewater is a golf course community with a clubhouse that has indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, fi tness center, spa and dining.• Square footage: 6,250 square feet including 2,173 in the fi nished basement• Rooms: This six-bedroom, fi ve-and-a-half-bath home has an expansive entry with open tread staircase and wrought-iron banister, two-story great room, for-mal dining room, home theater, hearth room, den and large master suite.• Strengths: All of the amenities of the exclusive Bridgewater Club are included, with the exception of the professional golf course, with a monthly membership fee. There are few places in this area that can match this 750-acre community, with 27 holes and a
golf academy practice facility listed as one of the top 10 in the United States. The house has a custom trim package, including tray ceilings, wainscoting and built-ins. It is located on a cul-de-sac with views of an adjacent park area.• Challenges: Bridgewater residents are required to pay a monthly fee in club and neighborhood dues. Less than a mile south a buyer would save $400-$500 a month in taxes for a property in the same value range.

Before I perform in front of an audience as a motivational speaker, the last thing I want is food, especially heavy food. I owe it to my smiling audi-
ence to be sharp, clear-headed, focused and full of energy and stamina. Otherwise I cannot be my best
This is what is required to be at the top of your game, physically, spiritually, and men-
tally: simple whole foods along and some light exercise.
Recent scien-tific findings suggest a strong link between the food you put into your body and how it affects mental clar-ity, how you process thoughts, and the quality of your perfor-mance stamina.
A good breakfast helps improve mental performance and concentration during
morning activities, aids weight loss, increases the likelihood of meeting daily nutrient needs, and helps to sustain energy levels throughout the day. Your mood is the food.
Learning to select foods that will feed both busy body and mind will have you brimming
with energy and mental clarity, resulting in higher sales figures. If you snarfed a doughnut for breakfast with a Coke, then by 10 a.m. you struggle to stay awake, right? Start your day with delicious hot Irish Steele cut oatmeal cooked in apple cider, with walnuts, fresh cranberries or blueberries and cinnamon. Quaker Oats are too processed and turn into glucose in your system.
We can all agree sports are 90 percent mental. This behavior could be applied to the super competitive business and household world. Team members proactively caring for themselves nutritionally are the MVPs, winning the slam dunk contests or mak-ing the buzzer shot for the W. Austin Croshere was a veggie, as was Chris Mullen, who used to be Pacers. Vegetarians were mostly from the West Coast. Vern Fleming used to eat a whole cucumber, his favorite, after each game.
I learned from catering for the NBA for 16 years that food and performance are profoundly connected. Bank on it. Once, LaSalle Thompson consumed three orders of deep-fried calamari before a pivotal game 5 of the 1994 NBA playoffs. In the game, he was a non-factor, and the Pacers were eliminated. His Earth suit was busy using its energy equity digesting the greasy denizens of the deep.
It makes sense then for busi-ness people to treat themselves as if they were one of those athletes. We noticed teams that ate poorly, including ribs, prime rib, cream sauces, no vegetables, fruit cobblers with heavy cream, monstrous burgers and fries, processed cane sugar, fatty meats and everything deep-fried, were what the cellar dwellers in the standings were eating. They used to call vegetables and fruit “sissy food. However, now they eat
them willingly. Meat is not macho; it’s what’s rotting in
your colon eagerly awaiting a chance to cause disease. The NBA still serves meat, but smaller, leaner, locally produced meats are the word of the day. Do you smell what I’m cooking?
When consummating a business deal at restaurants, where it is the most difficult to eat healthy, use common sense. Ask your waiter questions. Avid heavy, greasy food that will have you sound asleep again at your desk while the competition just snagged that multimillion dollar account you thought was in the bag.

DISPATCHESTWO BIKES FOR ONE: Most single-speed bikes are one-trick ponies,
but the Langster’s flip-flop back wheel gives it a more nuanced identity. In its normal position, it functions like a traditional fixed-gear bike. Invert the wheel, and the bike rides as a single speed, capable of coasting smoothly, efficiently and quietly. Use the fixed-gear setting when your route is primarily asphalt, and switch to single speed for hilly terrain and fatiguing treks. ($690, specialized.com)

QUIT MAKING WRINKLES: You can keep your skin looking younger by simply sleeping on your back, ac-cording to the American Academy
of Dermatology. Smashing your face into your pillow every night, they say, can eventually lead to wrinkles on your chin and cheeks. For the comfiest “back rest,” choose a firm pillow that ensures your neck won’t flop backward as you sleep, like the Sealy Posturepedic Encompass Pillow ($9, jcpenney.com.).

EFFECTIVENESS CHECK: Garcinia (Garcinia cambogia) is the Ay-urvedic word for Malabar tamarind, the fruit of an Asian evergreen tree. Overweight people who took hydroxycitric acid, a compound found in garcinia, in supplement form three times a day for two weeks ate fewer snacks and lost about a pound, says a 2002 study in the International Journal of Obesity. But subsequent studies haven’t confirmed those results.

GETTING BY WITH LESS: Some people can survive on very little sleep, while others re-quire many hours to function normally. If you still perform relatively well when sleep deprived, the reason could be your genes. In one study from the University of Surrey, some people struggled to stay awake after two days of no sleep while oth-ers had no problem whatsoever. The researchers looked into this further and gave the participants the opportunity to sleep normally; they found that some participants spend more time in slow-wave sleep, the deepest form of shut-eye. And for them carrying a sleep debt makes it that much harder to stay alert and function.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: As more Americans take more medications for everything from skit-tish stomachs to sluggish moods, clashes between drugs have fueled a new epidemic of unexpected, sometimes dangerous side effects and complica-tions. If you take blood pressure medication, specifically ACE inhibitors, such as benazepril (Lo-tensin), or diuretics, such as furosemide (Lasix) or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), you might have a conflict with aspirin or ibuprofen. Those pain-killers could keep these kinds of blood pressure medications from doing their job. If you experi-ence problems, you have two options (ask your doctor which is right for you). You can switch to a different blood pressure medication or swap the pain relievers — use acetaminophen instead.
— prevention.com
LOWERING CHOLESTEROL: If you have high cholesterol, your doctor might prescribe the Thera-
peutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet. It is low in saturated fat and
cholesterol, which can reduce
blood cholesterol levels and lower the
risk of heart problems. The TLC diet calls for: less than 7 percent of daily calories from saturated fat; no more than 200 mg of dietary cholesterol a day; 25 percent to 35 percent of daily calories from fat, mainly from unsaturated fat. Most of the fat should be monounsaturat-ed, and only 10 percent should be polyunsaturated fat; only 2,400 mg of sodium a day; and just enough calories to maintain a healthy weight and avoid weight gain. The TLC diet is part of the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes program, which aims to lower cholesterol through diet, exercise, weight loss if needed, and other changes, such as quitting smoking. It is recommended by the National Cholesterol Educa-tion Program of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
— health.msn.com
ANYTIME EXERCISES: You don’t need barbells, dumbbells, or machines to build muscle — in fact, weight-training equipment often inhibits the process because it requires you to be in a specific lo-cation. Here are three bodyweight exercises allow you to build muscle anywhere, anytime — at home, on the road, in a public park. 1. From the starting position of a pushup, squat, or lunge, lower yourself into the down position. But instead of pushing your body all the way up, raise it only a quarter of the way. Then lower yourself again before pushing all the way up. 2. Hold one foot in the air during virtually any exercise. A harder exercise means your body works harder. 3. Twist your torso to the right or left in ex-ercises such as the lunge, situp and pushup. You’ll automatically build a better-performing body.

FILE SHARING is illegal and can play havoc
In light of the recent $220,000 judgment against the woman in Minnesota who was using a music-sharing program, you may want to make sure that no one in your
household is engaging in this type of activity. The danger for people who install and run
fi le-sharing programs continues to grow and now there is a legal precedent for the music and movie industries to come after individuals who engage in this type of activity.
It has always been illegal to engage in the sharing of copyrighted materials such as music, movies and software, and this latest legal decision should be a wakeup
call for anyone that has been taking this lightly.
Not only is there a legal issue involved, the peer-to-peer (P2P) software used to connect with others is usually loaded with spyware and adware and puts your computer at a much higher risk of contracting viruses, worms or other malicious software.
Most of these programs put themselves
into the startup of your computer so they automatically load whenever you start your computer, which also causes your computer and the Internet to be slower.
To fi nd out if these types of programs are on your computer, start your search by looking at all of the icons in your Systray (lower right hand corner next to the clock). Float your cursor over each icon so you can identify each one. If you don’t know what a description means, do a Google search (for the displayed description) to learn more about what that program does.
There are more than 150 different programs being used by various fi le-sharing networks, with new programs being released on a weekly basis. Some of the more popular programs in use today include KaZaa, Limewire, eMule, Morpheous, Shareaza, Grokster, iMesh, Blubster, uTorrent (or any programs that have the term “torrent” in the name), Gnutella, Soulseek, Filetopia, WinMX, Bearshare and eDonkey.
Another way to see if you have these programs on your computer is to review all of the programs installed on your computer by looking at the list in the “Programs” section
of Windows. Click on the Start button, then on “All Programs” and
investigate any program that you don’t recognize by either
opening the program or doing a Google search to learn more.
Yet another way to check your computer is through the Add/Remove programs section of the Control
Panel. This will alphabetically list all the
program installed on your computer and give you the option of uninstalling any of them.
If you do fi nd that there is P2P fi le-sharing software installed on your computer, you would be wise to remove it then run a complete deep scan of your computer for viruses, adware and spyware since these are almost guaranteed “companions.”
If all of this is too much, consult a trusted computer service resource.
Once you get your computer cleaned up, be sure to have a discussion with everyone in your household so they understand the legal, fi nancial and infected computer consequences if they reinstall any of these kinds of programs.

WHAT ABOUT WEB 4.0? As surely as day follows night and every few years brings a more bloated ver-sion of Microsoft Offi ce, the buzz surrounding Web 2.0 was bound to touch off chatter about Web 3.0. The pundits have shown remark-able restraint; they didn’t up the version number until 2006, fully two years after tech-conference impresario Tim O’Reilly debuted the original phrase. Perhaps that’s because there’s even less consen-sus around what Web 3.0 might mean. Is it an artifi cially intelligent network? Does it have a 3-D used interface? Only and army of hungry PR reps will tell.

GPS ON THE CHEAP: Pharos, whose GPS units we’ve actually tested in smartphone form, has just released two entry level models for the price of $199 and $299. The Pharos Drive GPS 250, which is $299, has a SiRFStarIII GPS receiver, touch-screen display, and automatic night view switching when it detects that the sun’s gone. The cheaper Drive GPS 150 has the same SiRFStarII GPS receiver, but measures 3.94-inches as opposed to the 4.3-inches of its larger brother. Both run off NAVTEQ maps and both have a 5-7 hour operation time.

sale, last month in Taiwan, the Eee has been selling like hotcakes. Asus has just announced their feature-rich, top-of-the line model, the Eee PC 4G, is now available for sale in
the United States. Eee stands for “easy to lean, easy to work and easy to play.” It’s a small, ultralight laptop with a 7-inch color screen, an Intel processor (the OLPC has an AMD chip) and a battery that provides up to three hours of use before need-ing recharging.

OBITUARY Dr. Mark Beckerman, 53, passed away peacefully Nov. 6, 2007 at his home in the company of his wife and daughters. Over the past eight years, Dr. Beckerman heroically overcame many challenges posed by kidney cancer and its complications. Motivated by his loving wife, daughters, staff, patients, doctors and therapists, Dr. Beckerman continued practicing medicine as a family physician until just recently. Dr. Beckerman’s family members express their sincere gratitude to all who unfailingly believed in him and offered prayers on his behalf. Dr. Beckerman was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on Nov. 26, 1953 to Samuel and Vinnie (Hoppough) Beckerman, and grew up in University Heights, Ohio. He graduated from Washington and Jefferson College in 1976, having majored in chemistry. He was a varsity athlete in track, member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and active in ROTC. Dr. Beckerman then attended Case
Western Reserve University Medical School (Cleveland). Upon graduation in 1980, Dr. Beckerman served six years in the Army. From 1980-1983, he trained in family medicine at DeWitt Army Hospital, Fort Belvoir, Va., near Washington, D.C. From 1983-1986, he was a staff doctor at Hawley Army Hospital at Fort Harrison in Indianapolis. Deciding to make Carmel his home, Dr. Beckerman assumed the private practice of Dr. Richard Nolan. Thereafter he shared an office with friend and fellow doctor Thomas J. Moore. Together with his loyal staff, Dr. Beckerman maintained an “old-fashioned” family medical practice for the past 21 years. Throughout his career, he was board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and served as a St. Vincent Hospital physician. Dr. Beckerman was a devoted husband and father. He married Barbara (Kluve-Beckerman) Dec. 15, 1979. They have two daughters, Holly, 22, a recent graduate of Hope College, and
Sarah, 19, a student at Indiana University at Bloomington. Dr. Beckerman enjoyed playing golf and basketball, but most of all he loved spending time with his family – helping his daughters with homework, listening to music, camping, swimming, running, First Baptist athletics, holiday meals and summer cook-outs. In addition to his wife and daughters, survivors include siblings Joseph Beckerman, Sylvia Beckerman and Gail Hazen. Visitation was Sunday, Nov. 11 in Leppert Mortuary, Smith Carmel Chapel, 900 N. Range Line Road. The funeral service was Monday, Nov. 12 in St. Luke United Methodist Church, 100 W. 86th St., Indianapolis. Burial was in Old Pleasant Hill Cemetery at 2 p.m. Go to www.leppertmortuary.com to share a memory or sign Dr. Beckerman’s guest book. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Gleaners Food Bank, 1102 E. 16th St., Indianapolis, IN 46202, or The Nature Conservancy, 1505 N. Delaware St. Suite 200, Indianapolis, IN 46202.
Catherine Jean Hinshaw, 85, of Carmel, passed away Nov. 5, 2007. She was a member of the Millersville Order of Eastern Star. She was preceded in death by her husband, William Hinshaw. Survivors include children Linda Jean (Charles) Wormann, William Dean (Melodi) Hinshaw and Joseph Stewart Hinshaw; seven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; sisters Sue Smith, Marie Moreland; and niece Barb Oliver. Family and friends gathered on Nov. 9 at Leppert Mortuary, Smith Carmel Chapel. Entombment was in Lincoln Memory Gardens Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Heartland Hospice, 931 E. 86th St., Indianapolis, IN 46240.be made to the Osteoporosis Foundation or the Arthritis Foundation.

According to www.begreen-now.com, your carbon footprint is the amount
of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support your personal activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). Those per-sonal activities include all modes of transportation that consume fuel, heating for your home.
BeGreen has a very cool/simple carbon calculator to help determine your personal consumption and corresponding footprint. I encourage you to take the provocative test. My not-ter-ribly-obscene consumption is 20 metric tons of annual CO2 emissions, excluding business activities. 20 tons! Wow!
Whether you are a sup-porter of the global warm-ing theory and the punditry of the esteemed Al Gore, founder of the Internet, it makes sense to be cognizant of our footprint and how we can offset whatever mess we are leaving behind. The
Hollywood/media crowd seems to be driving the feel-good, social conscious awareness, which is probably a good thing.
And the related green building frenzy is absolutely gaining a foot-hold, too, nationally and locally. Another green commercial build-ing project was announced today in fact. Although it does seem that some builders may be exaggerating the defi nition. It takes more than a boulevard of trees to cause a project to be green.
Log on to www.begreennow.com, take the test and join the
revolution. Then e-mail me your footprint and I’ll report back in a few weeks on some of the tonnage. Let me know your favorite method of offset-ting our footprint, too.
Until then, recycle, re-use, refuse.
Happy trails.

CARBON FOOTPRINT…WHAT’S THAT?
Randy SorrellOutdoors
BLUEPRINT FOR IMPROVEMENTBy Larry Greene, Case Handyman & Remodeling
Question: I have decided to start my own business and want to convert my living
room into a home offi ce. What tips do you have to get the most out of my 12-feet-by-12-feet space?
Answer: Consider the overall function-ality you need to operate your business. What are the busi-ness needs for the room and how will other family mem-bers impact the offi ce dur-ing work hours? Here are some tips to get you started:
1. Room space and design: Will you need to share the of-fi ce with any other family members? Will you meet with clients in your home? Think of this when designing your space. Spend time planning the space for your needs and have a scaled drawing prepared.
2. Add French doors: Close in the room by extending a wall off the front hallway and installing new French doors. The wider the doors the better. Try to fi t 5-feet-6-inch-wide doors if possible with a lockset for privacy. These doors look great and allow privacy without feeling closed in. When the offi ce is not in use, open the doors to create an open feeling.
3. Built-ins vs. stand alone furniture: The main desk or work surface is the most important piece to consider. Do you want
to face the wall or face out to the hallway? Do you want to sit behind a traditional desk, or work on a countertop up against a set of cabinets? Make sure this main work surface is large enough and is installed at the proper ergonomic height. Custom-de-signed built-in cabinets and shelving are the best way to eliminate clutter and get
you organized and provide needed stor-age.
4. Electri-cal and wiring tips: Consider all the low voltage wiring needs such as cable TV, data, speakers and A/V connec-tions. Install a “chase,” which is a concealed tube to store all wiring. Install holes in the desk top with grommets, which adjust to fi t the size of wires you have. Some printers and computers will need an ad-ditional electri-cal circuit.
5. Lighting: Low voltage halogen puck lighting works well for upper shelving units. Halogen light bars can provide task lighting above built-in computer work areas.
Have a remodeling question? Ask Larry Greene, owner of Case Handyman & Remodeling. You may e-mail him at [email protected] or call 846.2600.

Some of the suggestions for holiday guest rooms are pretty predictable. Martha Stewart has said it many times over: “Be certain that your guest has
fresh towels and high thread count linens.” If the goal in mind is comfort for your guest, there are far more creative ways of welcoming friends and family.
My fi rst adult-type experience with setting up a guest room was 20 years ago when my husband’s fraternity brother was in town for a few days. The guest room in our home had a separate bath so, in keeping with fraternity memories, Jerry was greeted with a porcelain fi xture fi lled to the rim with ice and beer. While
my heart was in the right place, I believe that good taste was on vacation.
The best guest rooms do require a bit of planning during the decorating stage, but once this foundation is in place, a few minor tweaks will have each guest feeling like the most important person who has ever walked
through your door.
While not every home has the luxury of a designated guest room, the elements that make a guest room welcoming are pretty universal: a good mattress, a comfortable chair and good lighting.
Beyond the basics, a guest room with personality can transform a visit to an adventure. One of my favorite guest rooms that I have had the pleasure of working is themed with western accoutrements. There is no doubt that anyone who is a guest in this home knows that they are not the benefi ciaries of family castoffs. Thought has gone into every detail in this room, from the privacy afforded by window treatments to space for the guest’s personal belongings.
Once the foundation to a fabulous guest room is in place, a few unexpected touches push a room from nice to fabulous! I love the idea of keeping a basket of beautiful soaps and
lotions in the bath. I recently found some tiny soaps in the shape of bed pillows that said “Bonne Nuit.” A tray with bottled spring water, a snack and house key is a fabulous way to say welcome. One of my favorite ideas is to place a framed photo of you and your guest in the room.
The key to a wonderful guest experience is
comfort as defi ned by the guest. A throw rug in a room with grandma is probably not a great idea since tripping is a possibility. Beer in the toilet for a Sigma Nu brother is probably a good idea. No, make that just an OK idea....Jerry had to share our bath because his was now an ice bucket.

DISPATCHESIMPROVE YOUR GOLF GAME: The Symmergy Clinic (6925 E. 96th St., Suite 125) will offer “Swing by Spring: 5 strategies to improve your game in the off season.” The seminar will focus on stance, fl exibility and strength and will feature talks by Dr. Ken Golden, Symmergy and Jeff Buttitta, director of golf at the Hawthorns Golf Club. The class runs from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. Cost is $10. For more information, call 594.0004 or go to [email protected].
DRIVEWAY TAILGATE PARTY: Even when you don’t have tickets to the big game, you can still enjoy an afternoon of tailgating on your own home fi eld. Encourage your guests to decorate their cars, bring their good luck charms, practice their touchdown happy dances and dress in team colors. Ask them to bring lawn chairs and come two hours before the game so you’ll have plenty of time to party before kickoff. Once the game begins, ask your guests to join you in the family room to watch it.

AGE GAUGE: “It’s time to consider a new way to measure age,” says economist John Shoven, as reported by Brian Blackstone in The Wall Street Journal (10/24/07). Shoven’s idea is that “the best way to look at age isn’t the number of years people have been alive — but how many they have probably got left.” He refers to this as Remaining Life Expectancy, or RLE, under which “those with a short RLE would be considered elderly and those with a long RLE would be considered young.” He says, “with tens of millions of baby boomers eligible for retirement in the next 20 years … spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid will cripple government fi nances.” Shoven’s solution is “that if retirement is based on remaining life expectancy instead of beginning at a fi xed age, then the labor force could be 9.6 percent higher by 2050, which would help fi nance entitlement programs.” He also estimates that gross domestic product “would be between 7 percent and 10 percent higher by 2050 if retirement lengths stabilize.”

Simple PAINT TIPS will BEAUTIFY YOUR HOMEA fresh coat of paint is a great
way to change the look and feel of a home, and it’s important that the thought process include more than just color schemes. Lisa LaPorta, designer and co-host of HGTV’s “Designed to Sell,” along with KILZ Casual Colors paint, offer expert tips for repainting your home.
Don’t Fear Change…or ColorThere are no rules about color
when it comes to your own home. Using neutral or earth tones for larger, more permanent or more expensive items like the sofa will allow you to experiment with paint and colorful accessories to liven up your personal space. Many people fear dark and bold colors for their walls, but it’s OK to get creative with paint color, and it doesn’t have to cost a lot.
Customize and ComplementA room’s color scheme should always
be decided based on your personal tastes coupled with something more, like a piece of fabric or favorite accessory. Bring an accent rug or lampshade with you to the store for paint color ideas. Never pick a color based on recommendations from friends and family.
Always design to appease your own personality, not the masses.
Paint Inside the LinesPainting is the easiest and cheap-
est way to transform your home. Alternate taped-off sections of your walls with matte and glossy fi nishes of the same paint color to create vertical stripes. This creates dimension and elongates the space between your ceiling and fl oor. Using faux fi nishes, stencils and bor-ders also can add personality to your home. To avoid peeling away new paint, carefully
remove the tape as soon as you fi nish painting each section.
Be Your Own MonetBelieve it or not, a
plainly painted canvas can be just as effective as an expensive piece of art. To tie the color scheme of your room together, purchase and paint sev-eral canvases with colors inspired by the details of your room: green from the throw pillows or
brown from the area rug. Hang your home-made art grouped in a symmetric pattern or
scattered across the wall, creating a completely unique masterpiece.
Work that Woodwork Cabinetry, trim and other woodwork add
detail and dimension to a room, and fi nishing them with paint can make them more effective design elements. Use a semi- or high-gloss
paint on woodwork to help emphasize archi-tectural details. Priming and then painting trim and cabinets separates the walls from the woodwork, helping every carving and edge to pop.
Pick-Up the Right AccentHome enthusiasts are increasingly keen on
accent walls, but deciding which wall to paint is tricky. Walls with dramatic architectural features, such as fi replaces and detailed wood-work, make the best accent walls. Avoid choos-ing long walls and those with TVs or “holes,” like doors and windows, for your accent color. Painting them creates distraction and causes them to compete with other dramatic features of the room.
From Gloss to Flat, Finish MattersUsing paint with the appropriate fi nish
can make or break your space. Kitchens and bathrooms should always be painted with a semi- or high-gloss fi nish for protection against moisture and everyday wear and tear. Glossy fi nishes tend to highlight a wall’s imperfections, however, so use a fl at fi nish in bedrooms or dining rooms. And regardless of what fi nish you settle on, always use a primer fi rst to seal the surface and ensure the best results.

artist donates ‘snowfl akes’ for cancer researchBy Barbara E. Cohen
You can purchase an original piece of art from a noted children’s book illustrator while helping to fi ght cancer. Artist Sharon Vargo, Carmel, is one of 200 children’s book illustra-tors participating in Robert’s Snow: for Cancer Cure, which raises money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brookline, Mass.
Vargo is the only Indiana artist selected to work with Grace Lin, widow of Robert Mercer, for whom the project is named. Lin created a children’s book, “Robert’s Snow,” when her
husband was receiving treatment for Ewing’s sarcoma, a cancer of the soft tissue and bone. The story features a mouse that can’t go out-side to play in the snow.
When her husband’s cancer returned, Lin’s colleagues created Robert’s Snow: for Cancer Cure to increase awareness about sarcoma and to raise research money. Although Mercer passed away in August 2007, his legacy lives on in a fund-raising auction of original hang-
ing snowfl akes painted by children’s book authors.
Like real snowfl akes, each of the artists’ designs is unique. Vargo has created new designs each year she’s participated since 2004. This year’s con-tribution is called “Song for a Prince in Pajamas,” and it includes a poem by poet Rebecca Kai Dotlich, Carmel, on one side.
“It’s fulfi lling to share my work with others in this way,” Vargo said, who also recently donated a painted cowboy hat for the Buckaroo Bash hosted by the Adobe Society of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. “I have received letters from people touched by the snowfl akes, and it’s nice to ‘give back’ through art.”
The donated snowfl akes are on view in two galleries in Massachusetts, as well as on the Web. An online auction of the colorful pieces
will take place in three parts, with the fi rst selections available Nov. 19-23. Subse-
quent auctions will take place Nov. 26-30 and Dec. 3-7. Bidding is open to
everyone, and you can preview the snow-fl akes online or place
a bid at www.rob-
ertssnow.com.Since 2004, the Robert’s
Snow online auction has raised more than $200,000
for sarcoma research at the Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute.

Steve Snow and his wife opened Roselli’s in 1995, because they saw a lack of good Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza in the area. Roselli’s has been at its current location for fi ve years. Before that, it was at 83rd Street and Michigan Road. “Since we moved to this location, we’ve grown a lot,” When the restaurant fi rst opened, Snow said it was hard to get people to try their pizza. Now Roselli’s is popular enough to have just recently added a patio to expand its dining area. The space was needed because more room was needed for its lunch buffet. Besides deep-dish pizza, Roselli’s also does a lot of catering, Snow said. Lasagnas and chicken alfredo are some of the most popular dishes, and the restaurant caters throughout the Indianapolis area, Snow said.

27LAUGHS
My wife walks faster than I do. I had never thought much about
this before, but I guess I’ve always kind of known it. Come to think of it, if I hadn’t broken into a full gallop down the aisle the day we got married, she’d have beaten me to the justice of the peace by a nose.
It seems odd that I’m bothered by this at my age, but there’s a certain demeaning aspect to this whole unpleasant issue. For example, when we take a walk around the block, Mary Ellen has to turn around every three or four minutes and walk back around me so that she doesn’t get too far ahead.
As embarrassing as this is, I demand that she do it because a 60-year-old man should not be yelling to his wife, “Wait up!” That’s an expression that I thought I had stopped using in junior high school back in New York.
What makes this more humiliating is that I have always been a good athlete. I played center field on my high school baseball team and even ran track one year. My wife is not really an athlete and never claimed to be. When my wife tries to run, she doesn’t bend her legs at the knees and she ends up looking like a soldier doing a goose-step on too much coffee.
No, she can’t run. But, boy, can she walk.And I can’t figure out why she walks faster.
Let’s see … her legs are longer than mine. And wait, she moves them back and forth faster than I do. OK, I just figured it out. But this doesn’t make me feel any better.
The great irony is that one of the reasons I was attracted to my wife 22 years ago were her long, slender legs. This is exactly how men get themselves in trouble. When I saw those lovely limbs, my mind turned to romance, but I should have realized that she’d be walking
faster than me for the next 40 years. I knew I was going to marry a woman who was smarter. But faster? That wasn’t the plan.
In fact, in high school and college, I prided myself on my speed. One thing was sure: I never had anything to do with girls who were fast.
I probably should rewrite that sentence, but I’m on a deadline.
Now, I must admit that when I walk my dog, Toby, he also walks faster than I do. This is a bit rough on the ego because Toby is 60 in dog years, 10 pounds overweight,
and has arthritis. But the difference between Toby and my wife is that Toby actually turns around every few minutes to be sure I haven’t had a coronary. I’ve considered using a leash, but neither of them likes the idea.
Sometimes, just to feel loved and wanted, I hide behind a tree to see if my wife will look for me. On a hiking trail, this is OK, but men hiding behind trees are frowned upon in a residential neighborhood. When you are telling your story to a police officer, and he keeps using the word “lurking,” you have a great deal of explaining to do.
The result, of course, is that I no longer take walks with my wife. She feels like I slow her down, and the sight of her circling me every few minutes has the neighbors talking. Instead, when my wife and I want to walk, we go in different directions around our neighborhood circle. No matter how leisurely I walk, we pass each other at exactly the same time.
I know that was an incredibly stupid thing to say. But don’t try to explain it to me. You know how slow I am.

I got stuck at a railroad crossing the other day, waiting with about a dozen other cars and trucks while a long freight
train rolled by, and I was struck by something:
It has been 20 years or more since they went out of service, but trains still don’t look right to me without cabooses. Cabeese. Whatever.
You’re sitting there, counting the freight cars (an old habit from kidhood), and all of a sudden the train just … ends. It seems incomplete and abrupt and wrong, like a sentence without a period. Or when the film broke in science class, just as the narrator was about to explain photosynthesis, and the screen went blank and the lights came back on and you sat there blinking and … well, on second thought it wasn’t like that at all. Let’s just go with the sentence-without-a-period comparison.
There’s a reason trains are cabooseless these days. And while I certainly understand the railroads’ rationale for eliminating cabeese (Cabice?) as rolling dens of inefficiency that, in the modern era, tended to cause more problems than they solved, I must say they brought a certain charm to a train that you certainly don’t get from squealing gondolas or graffiti-covered boxcars.
Oh, well. Things change. This was brought to mind when the FRED went by. FRED, for those who wonder about such things, is short for Flashing Rear End Device. It’s the gizmo on the back of the train that sends signals to a device in the locomotive cab known as the Wilma. Which doesn’t stand for anything, but proves that there are a few Flintstones watchers working on the railroad, presumably all the livelong day.
Anyway, I checked my wristwatch to see how much time had elapsed and was reminded that wristwatches are disappearing,
too. They’ve not yet gone the way of the caboose, but they are in decline. Watch sales were off by something like 18 percent last year.
The culprits are cell phones, which tell the correct time if you always keep them charged and handy. Which are two reasons why I continue to wear a wristwatch.
The main reason, though, is simply that I prefer it. I find it more convenient to glance at my watch for the time, rather than digging through my pockets to find my phone (assuming I
brought it with me, and that it’s charged). Besides, watches are multi-taskers,
too. Granted, they’re not on the level of today’s phones, which also take photos, get your e-mail, play videos, remind you of appointments, do your taxes and walk the dog. But if you carry only a cell phone, you’ll never have that watch-shaped band of white skin around your wrist to let you know how much sun you’re getting.
My grandfather carried a pocket watch. You don’t see a lot of men toting those around anymore, but they’re still available and will be for a while, I suspect. Same goes for the wristwatch. I think it will still be around for a good long while.
And as for cabooses and cabeeses, they’re around too. Last time I visited Connersville, the Whitewater Valley Railroad (a rolling railroad museum) was up to its caboose in cabooses. They were even running trains made up of nothing but a locomotive and a flock of cabeese — no Freds or Wilmas.
For a guy who misses the caboose at the end of a train, that calls for a yabba-dabba-do.
