Among the items being discussed, the Civic Theatre was expected to relinquish certain days in the smaller, 200-theatre in the CFTPA during the renegotiations, but sought to acquire naming rights for other parts of the building. The theatre group was one of 16 arts groups that received $840,000 in city funding last year, nearly all of them rentpaying tenants of the CFTPA. Of that money, the Civic received $190,000 in taxpayer money. Dick says the group has raised nearly a third of the $10 million owed to the CRC, but is diverting more money to its stage shows and educational programming to prove its worth to Carmel residents. Nearly $800,000 of tickets was sold during the Civic’s first year in Carmel. The Carmel Redevelopment Commission typically meets at 6:30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month, but as of Wednesday, there was no mention of the meeting on the community calendar on the city’s website.

According to Carmel spokeswoman Melanie Lentz, Carmel is seeking to further clarify the inclement weather language in the contract. It’s possible Carmel will also take some punitive action against Republic for recalling its workers Dec. 26. “The City has not determined what action to take against Republic at this time,” Lentz said. “It is our goal to provide citizens with the best services possible and will do what’s necessary to make sure that continues to happen. Therefore, the City intends to pursue any damages it has suffered from this incident.” Republic entered into the contract with Carmel last year, effectively halving most Carmel residents’ trash bills. About 10 percent of residents opted out of the contract in favor of private contracts with other providers. Residents questioned on Twitter seemed unconcerned about the trash pick-up delay and were generally pleased with the service they received from Republic.

Resolutions

Barrington residents reflect on New Years By Maheen Mustafa • news@currentincarmel.com The New Year is here, bringing with it the rejuvenating thoughts of making fresh goals, new commitments, resolutions and promises to oneself for a better year.

Norbert “Bert” Talbott Best New Year’s Resolution: “Back in the

80s, I once made a resolution to learn how to fly a plane, and I eventually did learn during that year. It was fantastic! “My resolution for this year is to get rid of all the extra stuff I have accumulated over my lifetime, so that I could move into the Barrington this fall without extra luggage. I am already working on it. There sure are a lot of things to get rid of!” Favorite New Year’s Celebration: “In 1982, I learned how to do the Charleston (a dance from the 1920s) from my dance instructor. I then went downtown to the Athenaeum with my family where there was a Charleston contest. I won the contest and a bottle of Champagne! This New Year’s Eve, I will be playing in a band. I play the drums so that should be a lot of fun.”

For some, it is a different experience, just as meaningful though. On the occasion of New Year’s celebrations, Current talks to future residents of the Barrington, a retirement community opening in Carmel this year. We asked them about their favorite New Year’s resolutions and their fond memories of New Year’s celebrations. This is what they had to say:

Rodney Sorkin

Barbara Story Best New Year’s Resolution: “Oh my good-

ness, that’s a tough one. You’re evoking memories of my 86 years! That is pretty hard to go by. Well, I always wish for good health for my family and peace in the world; those are the two main wishes I always have. Usually, my resolutions revolve around my family. The world is kind of crazy now, so I pray for a better future, and happiness and good health for everyone.” Favorite New Year’s Celebration: “One of my most pleasant memories was when I went down to French Lake with my family and spent a weekend there. It was a wonderful family outing; we did some fishing there and went on a boat ride. We made lunch there with the fish we caught so that was fun!”

my resolutions in the past have been about losing weight and exercising. One of my favorite resolutions was when I promised myself to quit smoking, and I actually did quit that year. I am a non-smoker now and am very proud of that.” Favorite New Year’s Celebration: “My most vivid memory of a New Year’s celebration was when I went out with my wife to a wonderful party. This was back in 1985. It was that night that I realized how much I love my wife. It was a very memorable night.”

Around Town Carmel Welding, a local landmark COMMUNITY

Commentary by Jeff Worrell The other night, I was doing my best to describe to a friend where to find a specific address on Range Line Road. Trying to explain major landmarks, I started with the Indiana Design Center. That didn’t register with my friend, so I picked two more spots. Nope, couldn’t place them but he said, “Where is it from Carmel Welding?” Everyone around the table knew exactly where Carmel Welding was located. I guess local’s knowledge of its exact location should not be surprising since it has been operating at 550 S. Range Line Road since 1948. Some 64 years doing much, much more than just welding, but always in Carmel. The reason I bring up Carmel Welding is not just because it is a famous landmark on Range Line Road, but because it is a very successful business which has stood the test of time. I appreciate it and I appreciate the experience I recently had shortly after stepping across its threshold just days after the blizzard of 2012. But first, I must mention the courteous, wellmannered and amazing Jasin Boys. The Jasin Boys are my neighbors expertly parented by Jon and Mindy Jasin. Traveling home from vacation and hearing about the snow in Indianapolis, I dreaded facing a driveway full of the white stuff and the effort it would take to clear it. But, as I rounded the corner, I was shocked to see bare

cement. What a great surprise those Jasin Boys gave me. If I had a daughter their age, I surely would talk to Mr. Jasin about a fatted calf. But, realizing I just dodged a bullet, I decided it was time to replace the snow blower which had previously retired itself. I went to the usual places one might expect to find snow blowers, paint, garden supplies and candy. But, I also went to Carmel Welding. Not a big box, but an intimate, historical, get down to business place where the person telling you about the horsepower and pitch control might just be the owner. Four generations of the Wiggam family have pulled a paycheck from Carmel Welding and helped it to become the oldest business in Carmel. Currently, Bill Wiggam and Bill Wiggam, Jr. are the owners and you can surely find them toiling away on most business days. Probably not a revelation to long-time Carmel residents, but I thoroughly enjoyed the small town, humanized buying experience. It would not have surprised me to see Andy Griffith walk through the front door, which is why I am sure to go back every chance I get. Jeff Worrell is a member of the Carmel Redevlopment Commission.

COMMUNITY Et cetera Reserve deputies receive HCCVB announces new tourism grant program additional grant programs. Hamilton County news@currentincarmel.com volunteer service awards Sports Authority, a division of the Hamilton news@currentincarmel.com Two weeks ago, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office awarded 21 reserve deputies with the President’s Volunteer Service Award, a national honor offered in recognition of volunteer service. Recipients from Carmel included Deputy J.C. Buehler, Deputy Jeff Larkin, and Lt. Matt Snively. Established in 2003, the award is granted on an annual basis to individuals, groups and families who have met or exceeded requirements for volunteer service and have demonstrated exemplary citizenship. Two deputies received the Lifetime Achievement Award for logging more than 4,000 volunteer hours. The recipients included Deputy Joe Faucett of Carmel. Faucett has volunteered 705 hours in 2012 alone. “These recipients of the President’s Volunteer Service Award are role models for all Americans,” Sheriff Mark Bowen said. “Each volunteer hour contributed makes a difference in improving the quality of life for others, and I encourage everyone to contribute to our community by volunteering.

Cover Story

As support grows, Hamilton County will be asked whether it approves of expansion of mass transit By Robert Herrington and Christian Sorrell news@currentincarmel.com The community landscape is changing through new infrastructure, businesses, real estate and construction, but could mass transit further evolve Hamilton County? In the coming months, the discussion of a dramatic expansion of mass transit in Central Indiana will become more prevalent as community leaders and citizens support the idea. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard has made his support of mass transit well known over the years. For him, mass transit is not a new idea, but rather one that has been central to city government throughout history. “We’ve known since before the Roman Empire Brainard that cities and countries that invest in good infrastructure to move goods and people are the cities and countries that can compete the best and will succeed,” he said. While people often point to singular moments like Indianapolis’ recent Super Bowl as a reason to invest in mass transit, Brainard sees it a bit differently. “Carmel would have seen much higher activity here during the Super Bowl, but that’s not really why you build it. You build it for the day-to-day activity. Instead of driving downtown from Noblesville every day, you drive five miles to the mass transit station and get an additional hour or two of work in,” Brainard said. Through the Indy Connect Now campaign, members of the Indiana General Assembly are urged to authorize a referendum that would allow a vote by Marion and Hamilton County residents on whether to fund the enhanced mass transit system. Indy Connect Now Executive Director Ron Gifford said an attempt to pass Gifford legislation did not succeed last year, but he was hopeful this general assembly would be different. “Rep. Jerry Torr (R-Carmel) is committed to passing the bill

The Plan Phase I calls for five rapid transit lines from downtown Indianapolis to Carmel, Noblesville and Westfield, with modern transit vehicles creating faster connections along key routes, as well as six express bus routes to provide quick access between major commercial centers. These lines are expected to be installed between 2017 and 2020. In addition to more bus routes, the Indy Connect plan will help decrease wait times at transit stops from an average of 30 minutes to 10 minutes on all the major lines. One rail line from Union Station in downtown Indianapolis to Noblesville will be in service by 2021. A Bus Rapid Transit station is currently planned for Carmel. Indy Connect Now Executive Director Ron Gifford said these expanded transportation options would help retain and attract talented employees to Central Indiana. The Phase I project comes with a $1.3 billion price tag but Gifford said almost half of that would come from federal grants. “We think we are really well positioned there,” he said.

projects on U.S. 31, Ind. 37, I-465 and I-69 have a $1.89 billion price tag.

with the support of a bipartisan group,” Gifford said. “We expect several other folks will sponsor the bill in January.” According to Brainard, the decision should be left up to the voters themselves. “I think the public is in favor of it, based on my impressions,” he said. “The problem has been getting the state legislator to allow the voters to make a decision. Last year, they said ‘We aren’t going to allow the voters to decide. We are deciding and the answer is no.’” If a referendum is approved by the general assembly, Gifford said a special election could occur this fall or during the 2014 general election.

likely to take up the issue during the new legislative session. “We have the basic idea of how the mass transit system will work but once the referendum is passed, then we can begin to hammer out the details. It doesn’t make sense to spend millions of dollars on engineering for something that may not pan out,” Brainard said. “Planning and engineering can be about 10 to 15 percent of the total cost of most projects like this which is a lot of money. You don’t want to spend that money unless you know you are actually doing it and have the money in place.” Gifford said expansion of the transit system would begin in 2014, with completion of the entire plan expected by 2022. He said the benefits of mass transit included connecting people to new job opportunities and healthcare facilities, mitigating traffic congestion and improving the environment (i.e. air quality) with electric and hybrid electric vehicles. “It’s a good option for people to get from point A to point B,” Gifford said. “It’s incentive for neighborhood and community development – development that wouldn’t have occurred otherwise.” “I think (mass transit) helps us attract good jobs here in Carmel,” Brainard said, “which means more people will live here, it will mean good commerce and more companies will locate here. It’s like the Old West train lines. People and businesses wanted to live and work where the train lines were, because the other towns were dying off without them. I think it’s a very similar situation here and across the country.” According to Gifford, an investment in mass transit could lead to real estate development featuring new businesses, shops and apartments that open along the new rapid transit lines throughout the county. Within five years of building a new 10-mile lightrail line in Charlotte, new development brought in $1.5 billion for a city smaller than Indianapolis. Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and Westfield Mayor Andy Cook traveled to Charlotte to see the city’s light-rail as part of the Central Indiana Regional Council of Chief Elected Officials. Brainard was unable to attend. “Charlotte is 10 years ahead of us,” Ditslear said, adding that Charlotte and other metropolitan cities have shown that a strong transit system Ditslear attracts talented young professionals. “When I was younger, we went to where the job was. Younger people pick where they want to live and find cool jobs there.” www.currentincarmel.com

Colts Strong It is our position that the Indianapolis Colts earning an AFC playoff berth is the feel-good story of the year. What started out as a season full of controversial player and management changes seemed all but doomed when new head coach Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with Leukemia early in the season. Immediately, fans put aside any animosity and Payton Manning withdrawal to channel their positive energy toward the healing of Coach Pagano. This ground-swelling effort took the form of the “Chuck Strong” campaign. The Colts organization led the way supporting blood drives, fundraisers and education efforts on Leukemia – complete with shaved heads in an empathetic sign of solidarity. Offensive coordinator/interim coach Bruce Arians, a cancer survivor, boldly vowed to extend the season to allow the return of a healthy Coach Pagano. Thanks to the outstanding efforts of Coach Arians, an emotionally-charged team led by rookie quarterback Andrew Luck and a dedicated fan base, the promise was fulfilled. Not-to-be forgotten are the accomplishments of General Manager Ryan Grigson who seemingly hit all the right buttons at all the right times. Among the dark clouds cast on 2012 by economic woes and national tragedies, thanks to the Indianapolis Colts, the game of football has warmed our hearts.

Hey, Washington: It’s the spending, stupid!

Unintended intentions Commentary by Terry Anker

As Washington continues its financial debates, we are befuddled by our sophisticated “adult” methods of problem-solving. We say one thing while doing another. We do one thing while saying another. Of course, these paradoxes are driven by all manner of constraint – time, money, skill and even direct self-deception. Why do we encourage folks in public prison to read the Bible and attend church but prohibit them from doing the same while attending public schools? Why do we forbid ourselves from actions that would atrophy and spark dependency with wild animals in public parks while we fail to do the same to protect millions of able-bodied Americans trapped in the death-spiral of a life on the public dole? As a college student decades ago, I visited Mexico and first encountered urban poverty. Yet, I was admonished by the chaperones to avoid giving money – even the smallest amount – to the scores of children begging on the streets. To be compassionate (and make myself

feel good) by tossing a few bucks into the basket would, I was told, create incentives, keeping the children out of the free Mexican education system and ensuring poverty for generations to come. If I indulged my instinct to ease the perceived suffering, then I was actually perpetrating a much greater harm. They instructed, give to institutions not to people! Were there cases where an individual child was in real need? Of course – human suffering is a part of being human. Yet, could I, in attempting to assuage the pain of one, actually lead to the pain of many? In all the season’s greetings and all the spending, it remains important that we measure our generosity by outcomes as much as by intentions. But, can a generous intention ever be bad with the unintended consequences made not pertinent?

We’re sure you’re as tired of reading this as we are of writing it: The GOP caves in, again. As everyone knows, the so-called “fiscal cliff” was “avoided” by a typical, kick-the-can-downthe-road approach by our legislative giants in Washington, D.C. Instead, we should kick those “leaders” out, starting with John Boehner (R-Ohio), speaker of the U.S House of Representatives, who continues to try to compete with President Barack Obama on who can lead the least. We say they’re both winners in that department. We’ve often said that the GOP should just shut down, as only late-night comedians would miss the party. However, we think a better approach for the nation is to shut down the Democratic party, leaving the GOP as is, which guarantees the existence of a liberal party. We then create a conservative party, which can help legislate common-sense solutions to our fiscal problems. Hey, Washington: It’s the spending, stupid. ••• We trust you had a wonderful holiday season and have returned to the normalcy of everyday work and life. At least we hope that’s the case.

Have a problem? Send it my way Commentary by Christian Sorrell One of the most rewarding aspects of being a journalist is working to serve your readership and this is something that I have tried to do as much as possible during my time at Current in Carmel. During the last week, I have had discussions with a number of different readers who made it a point to express different problems or interesting things they have experienced throughout Carmel in the last several weeks including everything from misspelled street signs to inspirational residents of Carmel. Current’s motto has always been “News is what our readers say it is,” and I am hoping to make that truer than ever. As Current in Carmel’s editor, I am to here to serve the readership above all else, making sure that the most important information is getting from my desk to you each and every week. If you feel that we have missed the ball on something or are out of the loop in one way or another, please let me know. Additionally, if you encounter any problems in Carmel that you feel should be looked into further or the public should know about, I would love to know about it. Current in Carmel is as much your paper as

it is ours. That is why we happily print Letters to the Editor from our readers weekly, space willing. Even those that aren’t printed are passed around and read by all of our writers and editors. We readily accept news tips from anyone and everyone, although we are sure to put them through the ringer just as much as anything else. We cannot be everywhere at once, and that is where the Carmel readers can help us be more informed than we would be otherwise. Sometimes, big problems affecting only a single neighborhood or area of Carmel can go unnoticed by the rest of the city. Hopefully, we can avoid that as much as possible moving forward.

We are lucky to have Carmel Police Department Editor, I believe that we have the best police department in the country. I have been bringing in the mail and newspaper for my neighbor and business partner over the last week. He was to get back home late last night as he had numerous flight delays. My wife and I decided we would drop off a meal that he could warm up when he got home. When we got inside the home sometime after 8 p.m., I noticed the front door was open. The door was closed when I came by around noon that day. I decided that I should call the police department. As I was apologetically telling the dispatcher what was happening,

she reassured me that calling them was the right thing to do. Very quickly, three Carmel Police officers were at the house. They too reiterated that calling the police was the right thing to do. They completed a thorough search of the house and found nothing. The speedy response we received, the professional manner in which they conducted themselves and the time they spent with us proved to us once again how truly blessed we are in Carmel to have such a top notch police department. Thank you to the three officers that helped us last night and to all the public safety professionals here in Carmel! Bruce Snyder, 46033

Perhaps Spigelman has the answer

Thank you, Good Samaritans

Editor, Robert Annis did a nice job on his Merchants’ Square article. My wife and I are dismayed watching one store after another leave without any real reason. We did hear the rumor that Carrabas left because its rent was doubled. Possibly not true. But I heard from the manager of Butler Barbers that the Plaza owners just refused them a new lease. So, perhaps the problem starts at the top. The only encouragement is that on the previous page there was a feature by Marnin Spigelman on the status of Carmel. He seems to constantly have all the answers, so maybe he can solve the Merchants’ Square dilemma. Richard Gibson, 46033

Editor, I was driving out on the road, heading up toward High Drive, when I slid. Even though I was going extremely slowly in the hazardous conditions, my car refused to stop. I hit the stop sign at the base of the road and couldn’t get my car free. Then, several people came to help free my car including a policeman who helped to direct traffic and allowed us to borrow his car jack to help raise my car up enough to remove the stop sign from underneath. After a good hour of pulling and using a tow line to pull my car free, we managed to get it back on the road. I just wanted to thank those Good Samaritans who helped free my car. If you are reading this, I can’t thank you enough for helping me. Lora Landis, 46033

New Year’s resolutions – again Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I’ve made it another year, and per my usual M.O., I will now share with you, my adoring public, my New Year’s resolutions. I first did this in 2009, and while a bit frightening to share one’s goals with a few thousand strangers, I found I did a much better job of actually meeting some of those goals that year. 2012 was no different, and though I never got around to painting the family room and still didn’t spend as much time at night with my kids as I’d hoped, I was able to finally get that book published (still available for the incredibly low, low price of $14.95 at www.danielle-wilson.com!) I also found the patience to ignore the pig sty that occasionally poses as our house. So here’s the list for 2013 ... please feel free to mock, judge, and place bets at my expense. 1. Paint the family room. We have now been in our home for three winters, and yet our main floor living space is still a bright shade of sun-shiney yellow. (Maybe I don’t want to be happy this morning!) Do I fear commitment, or am I just plain lazy? Perhaps both, but this baby is going atop the list in 2013. 2. Swear less. I make this a resolution every single year and rarely see any progress. I admit to a potty mouth, but can’t seem to clean it up. So, damn it, I will try yet

stvincent.org

again, for the sake of my children and Baby Jesus. 3. Make new friends. Doo is always encouraging me to be more social, though I truly am happy most nights sitting in a comfy chair with a good book. This year I’m going to squelch that anxiety that creeps up on me whenever I enter a new social environment and actually force myself to meet people! I don’t want to end up a lonely geriatric with cats, no matter how delicious the smut Nora Roberts turns out. 4. Appreciate my children for who they are, especially my oldest daughter. I frequently find myself critiquing everything from her hairstyle to her clothing choices, and generally for no reason other than I’m in a bad mood. She’s beautiful and interesting in her own way, and I love that she is confident enough to steer away from the mainstream. 5. Drink less soda. I’m hoping to obtain my caffeine fix through more natural channels like tea and Lindt truffles. Happy New Year to you, and good luck with your own resolutions! Peace out.

Weekend scams Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

“How was your weekend?” asked Stacie, a teller at my bank. “It was … it was great,” I stammered, pushing the deposit envelope just a bit. I had to quit doing my banking on Mondays or Tuesdays. The tellers always asked about my weekend. I would try to change the topic, but these people are very persistent. “Did you do something exciting?” Stacie would press on. “Yes, I did.” I was in trouble now. I had nothing interesting to tell her. “What was it?” she asked. “Stacie, I’ll take the cash I just withdrew int three, fifty dollar bills,” I instructed her, hoping to reduce the time of the financial transaction and thus shorten the length of the mini-interrogation. I knew I had just had a weekend; I just couldn’t remember it. The bank employees were only trying to be friendly, but they are all in their 20s and probably had a rip-roaring Friday and Saturday night. The truth is for me, simply getting a little dough out of my checking account is about the peak of my adrenalin rush for the week. For a few weeks, I tried telling the absolute truth, so when Stacie asked me about my weekend on a Monday, I’d say: “We watched Blue Bloods on Friday night, made a stop at Sam’s

Club on Saturday to pick up one of their awesome barbeque chickens, watched Meet the Press on Sunday morning and that evening went to MCL about 4:30 for the baked tilapia.” Then Stacie would give me the money I had withdrawn, but she also probably wanted to give me a cane or go with me to MCL to blow on my soup. That’s when I decided to go to the bank on Fridays, assuming the previous weekend was too far in the past for the staff to inquire about. But then Stacie questioned whether I had any big plans for the coming two days. I was honest again. I told her: “We planned to watch Blue Bloods on Friday night, make a stop at Sam’s Club on Saturday to pick up one of their awesome barbeque chickens, watch Meet the Press on Sunday and the head over toMCL about 4:30 for the baked tilapia.” The expression on her face was not only sympathy for my pitiful weekend plans, but terror that one day she would be a senior citizen, too, and this was what she had to look forward to. I do think the bank should show interest. But only in principal.

I like New Year’s. Or rather, new years. New Year’s the holiday doesn’t mean all that much to me. New years as in here comes another 365-day lap around the sun – well, that’s another matter entirely. See, I’m not much for parties, don’t drink champagne and get kind of bored with football after the eighth or ninth hour of bowl games. Mostly, I see New Year’s Day as a good excuse for being completely slobbed out. Of course, I also feel that way about Thursdays. But a new year? That’s a blessing. We all need mulligans and do-overs, and a fresh, clean new year is a natural place for them. So what’s in a new year for me? Lots: 1. New calendars. After 12 months of looking at a picture of an old passenger train rounding a big curve in the Rockies, I get something new for the office wall: A picture of an old passenger train rounding a big curve in the CANADIAN Rockies. Variety is indeed the spice of life. 2. Misdated checks. These are always good for a laugh, until about March or so, when you’re still using last year’s date and everyone thinks you are beginning to slip a cog, because you probably are. 16 | January 8, 2013

3. Seed catalogs. Is there anything more optimistic than a seed catalog? It’s cold and snowy, and the wind is howling around the cul-de-sac at about 700 miles per hour, and yet you are blissfully unaware, lost as you are in the new edition of Burpee’s. Your snowy back yard may look like the surface of the moon, but your mind’s eye sees it green and lush, with cascades of flowers and vines heavy with ripe, glistening produce. Viewed this way, seed catalogs are what keep us from going completely berserk in the dead of a long Midwestern winter. 4. Renewal. But I’m not talking about dealing with all the previous year’s nonsense by going out and doing it all over again. I mean letting the turning of the year put the old nonsense to rest once and for all, to let the past truly be the past, to learn and then move away from it, once and for all … the better to acquire a whole new bunch of fresh nonsense.

Frankenweenie • PG, 86 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd As a filmmaker, Tim Burton’s mostly been working on reanimation projects lately – taking old movies and making them rise from the dead as remakes crammed with computer-generated imagery. The results have been up and down, generally scoring at the box office but leaving lovers of his earlier work (I count myself) feeling disappointed. If “Frankenweenie” has a fresher feel than most of his recent movies, that’s because it’s a remake of his own short film. The original was live action, a black comedy about a boy who zombifies his pet pooch using Frankenstein-esque science. The spiffy new version is stop-motion animation, which suits the material well – a mix of heartfelt pathos and creepy-crawly horror movie elements.

Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) is crushed when his beloved dog Sparky is, er, crushed in a car accident. Indirectly inspired by his eccentric science teacher, Victor jolts the canine alive with electricity. But then the other kids in the neighborhood discover the trick, and soon the whole town is overrun with zombie pets. Despite the subject matter, “Frankenweenie” is sweet-natured and should be suitable for all but the smallest children. And adults will enjoy the references to classic horror creatures, especially the classic Universal Studios menagerie.

Body Beauty Which filler will benefit my needs? HEALTH

Commentary by Barry Eppley Q: I am confused about all the different injectable fillers. What do you think of the benefit of the filler Sculptra versus something like Juvederm for facial aging? A: Injectable fillers do have a role for some patients in the treatment of facial aging. However, it is very important to differentiate the ways injectable fillers are used. That distinction makes a big difference in which type of injectable filler is most appropriate. I divide injectable facial rejuvenation into two categories; spot and global facial rejuvenation. Spot rejuvenation includes such areas as lip enhancement, softening nasolabial folds, or filling in orbital tear troughs. Given the low volumes of filler needed and sensitivity of the tissues injected, any of the hyaluronic fillers (such as Juvederm) may be used. Global, or volumetric, facial rejuvenation is different because it adds soft tissue volume to fill out the face, re-inflate it, and create a ‘lift.’ Given the volumes needed, the hyaluronic fillers are a bit cost prohibitive. This is where Sculptra comes in because it is a better ‘volumizer’ based on the way it is administered, works and persists, even though it takes a series of injections to create the desired effect. Q: I would like to improve the appearance of my eyes. My upper eyelids (just below my brow) have excess skin that hangs down,

often pushing against my eyelashes. Also, my eyes are very round, showing a significant amount of white, and are angled down slightly at the outer corners. I have read that could be improved by a procedure known as canthopexy. Will this work for me? A: Your description of upper lid skin pushing on the eyelashes indicates that an upper blepharoplasty would be beneficial. That is a very straightforward and standard periorbital rejuvenation procedure. Changing the position of the lateral canthus at the corners of the eyes can be done at the same time as the upper blepharoplasty. This is better known as a lateral canthoplasty or tendon repositioning. In a canthopexy procedure, the existing tendon is tightened but maintains its current position on the inner aspect of the lateral orbital wall. As a result, it tightens the lid margins but will not change their vertical orientation so it will not correct a downward eye slant. A lateral canthoplasty, which relocates the insertion of the lateral canthal tendon up into a higher position on the bone, is what you need to achieve your eyelid reshaping goals. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon. Comments can be sent to info@ eppleyplasticsurgery.com

It’s always time to change Commentary by David Cain

A former colleague used to always promote the idea of making decisions as if time and money didn’t matter. What would you do if you could do anything? After all, he’d say, money and time are just hurdles to work through – they are just problems to solve but they shouldn’t get in your way. That strategy never felt completely comfortable to me. After all, why would you solve problems without considering your constraints? As I watch my kids grow up and learn to make decisions, they ignore money and time. I’m not sold on the idea that their decisions are any more grounded but I’m not certain it’s a completely flawed approach either. We are all saddled with the past and bogged down by decisions of the days before. If you could clear your mind of all the past and start over today, what would you do differently? After you get to that decision, make a list of the obstacles and begin to negotiate a solution.

The end of a calendar year is always a convenient place to evaluate the year and make plans for a more successful one to follow. For my new year, I’m not going to be a part of the 45 percent of Americans that make resolutions or the 25 percent that fail. I’m not resolving anything. I’m going to instead have a couple of themes or concepts to test. The first, I’m going to step up my ongoing pursuit of phasing out the word “no” and replacing it with “how.” That will start with the question of: “What if money, time and past decisions didn’t matter? What if the slate were clear?” The second, I’m going to approach the months ahead more like a journey where I’m the captain of a ship. I’ll revisit improvements regularly and steer the ship on its course. There is no autopilot for life, I’m responsible for mine.

Grammar Guy

Good grammar resolutions Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Happy New Year, dear readers! I hope yours went swimmingly. In fact, I hope mine did as well, since I’m writing this column two weeks in advance. Although I’m not typically one to subscribe to calendar-initiated behavioral changes, in the spirit of self-improvement – and filling 400 words – I thought I’d set out some grammar goals for myself this year. Goal #1 – Proofread, proofread, proofread. This isn’t bad advice for any writing occasion; be it an e-mail, mission statement, shopping list … even a snarky grammar column. There’s nothing worse than sending a professional e-mail and realizing there’s a glaring typographic error in an important spot – except for maybe bringing a grocery bag full of soap home to a sick loved one hoping for soup; especially if it’s chicken soap. Goal #2 – Use fewer parenthetical statements. Regular readers of my column will recognize that I’m an avid fan of asides. And the first three paragraphs of this column are especially loaded with them since I knew this goal was coming. I just love them so much. But, as with all good things, if you include too many parenthetical additions you run the risk of losing the topic of your writing, and thus your reader. And so, whether they come with “em” dashes, commas, ellipses or good old-fashioned parentheses, the asides will have to come fewer

and farther between this year. Except for that one, of course. And that one. Goal #3 – Ferreting out common, yet pernicious, word misuses. There are a lot of everyday phrases we use that are just wrong grammatically. Often, we know they’re wrong. Take the phrase “I could care less,” for example. Logically, that doesn’t indicate the complete lack of care people intend to express with it. But we say it anyway. Some common errors are less obvious. One of my pet peeves, for example, is the misuse of the words asocial and antisocial. The latter is used frequently to refer to people who prefer their own company or avoid social interactions. This is incorrect. An antisocial person is one who is antagonist, sometimes even hostile, toward other people or social interactions. Think Eeyore versus Oscar the Grouch. Oscar is a mean, grumpy old grouch who lives in a trash can, while Eeyore just likes being alone. Oscar is antisocial. Eeyore is asocial. All of that being said, there are, of course, occasionally good reasons to be a little lax with grammar: Like just letting a friend say “sure” instead of “surely” so that you don’t have to hear that joke from “Airplane!” for the 10,000th time. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@gmail.com.

Spirituality

Holy, righteous and blessed Commentary by Bob Walters Holy, righteous, and blessed: three good things that I want to be, that I want for those I love, that I want for the entire world. Who doesn’t? But what are we really talking about? Do these words mean what we think they mean? Is this really what we want? Let’s define and briefly examine this vital vocabulary of faith. Holy: Dedicated to and/or claimed by God. Righteous: Doing things God’s way. Blessed: Noticed by God. We too-often think that “holy” means “without sin.” That certainly can be the case, but the Bible tells us of many holy things that are neither with nor without sin: buildings, ideas, sacrifices, actions, etc. Even people can be “holy,” i.e., dedicated to God and claimed by God. But final judgment on sin is going to be levied only at people, not things, and “holy” isn’t something mankind can be if it only means “without sin.” Righteous – such as if I refer to myself as “being righteous” – is going to be understood by others to mean “Holier than thou,” which connotes of course the presumption that “I have less sin than you” so therefore “I am better” or closer

to God or whatever. Not a chance. Romans 3:10-20 is a tidy refutation of any person, on his or her own in mere obedience, being righteous. We are only righteous through faith in Christ; we cannot be righteous on our own. To be “blessed” is overly-expected, even demanded, by worldly humans to connote divine favor or comfort: we are “blessed” by health, wealth, family, etc. Yet, if blessings are all things “noticed by God,” then certainly we want to share all things with God as blessings no matter what they are. That includes the awful stuff – sickness, poverty, trouble of every kind. Arrogantly and unwisely, we assign blessings on a sliding scale: blaming God for the awful stuff yet crediting ourselves with the good. We need to look no farther than the nearest mirror to find someone who at least on occasion hopes God won’t notice our self-directedness, favoring man’s temporal convenience over God’s eternal plan.

We are only righteous through faith in Christ; we cannot be righteous on our own.

Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com, www. commonchristianity.blogspot.com) is drawn to people who say they are blessed and runs from people who say they are holy or righteous.

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Little changes go a long way in a cosmetic kitchen remodel Commentary by Larry Greene Original Kitchen: This client came to us wanting to update the look of her small kitchen. Built in 1994 and located in the Saddlebrook South subdivision in Indianapolis, the home’s original floor plan still worked well for the homeowner. However, there was a need and available space for a bit more storage. “It was time to remodel the kitchen. It needed an update, and things were looking tired. I wanted a purely cosmetic change, but needed more storage too,” the homeowner said. “With a tiny kitchen, that extra storage was the one thing that was missing. I love kitchen gadgets, and I needed more room to store them.” Cosmetic Updates: “At first, I was looking to just change the countertops and the sink, but the project grew from there,” the homeowner said. The final design called for laminate countertops in a Milano Quartz color for the main surface, and Tan Soapstone for the raised bar. A new sink and appliances were installed, as well as xenon undercabinet lighting. New canned lights increased the ambient and task lighting of the kitchen. A new tile backsplash was installed with Sandlewood – Monterey Amalfi tile in a staggered

Before pattern and a linen-colored grout. “The backsplash made a big difference in the appearance of the kitchen. The tile gives it more dimension, and I like the brick look.” Matching Existing Cabinetry: Unfinished red oak cabinets were installed and stained to make them look original to the space. According to the homeowner, “You cannot tell that the new cabinets were not there from the get go. I liked my old cabinetry and I wanted to keep costs down. Adding new cabinets that matched

worked very well.” By balancing the design elements offered by the existing space with new materials and storage options, this cosmetic remodel was a costeffective way to give the client an attractive and functional kitchen.
