By Jennifer PignoletCurrent in CarmelAs the famed scholar Warren Bennis once said,

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. For Steven Libman, the time to prove he is capable

of such leadership begins Sept.14, when he assumes his role as executive director of the Regional Performing Arts Center.

There are very few opportunities where you have the opportunity to build from the ground up, Libman said. Most institutions have been around for a long time. This is a little different. We get to decide where we want to go.

Libman, 49, has had many years in the performing arts business to develop a vision for a new center. He is cur-rently the managing director of the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego, and previously worked as the managing direc-tor of the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre for 13 years. However, his love for performing arts started much earlier.

While growing up in Rhode Island, Libman attended a high school with an extensive performing arts department.

We studied acting, movement, dance, technical the-ater, and design, Libman said. We had the opportunity to interact with professional organizations. I was very fortunate.

As far as singing and dancing was concerned, Libman said, I enjoyed it but I knew I couldnt make a career out of it. But his love for the arts meant he couldnt stop there.

Libman managed the performing arts department at Rhode Island College and graduated Magna Cum Laude. He also interned at the Trinity Repertory Company.

By the time I graduated from college, I had a signifi-cant amount of professional experience, Libman said.

With more than 28 years of performing arts manage-ment now under his belt, Libman said this opportunity gives him the chance to start fresh with new board mem-bers, staff, and goals.

While the primary function of the center will be to house performing arts activities, Libman said there will be opportunities for local organizations and community members to use the space in various capacities, from con-ferences to wedding receptions.

From an artistic standpoint, Libman will be working closely with the Michael Feinstein Foundation for the Preservation of the Great American Songbook, which will occupy space in the center. Michael Feinstein is cur-rently in negotiations to become the artistic director of the center.

Doris Anne Sadler, executive director of the foundation, said Libmans ideas and enthusiasm toward the perform-ing arts and fundraising made him the best candidate for the job.

The center is going to rely heavily on private contribu-tions, Sadler said. Steven has experience raising money for a center like this.

That experience includes a $50 million capital cam-paign and the elimination of a $2 million deficit at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. With the Carmel Performing Arts Foundation, his challenge will be to remove the need for taxpayer money to run the center. The first-year budget for the center is estimated to be about $3 million.

I have an excellent sense of financial development, Libman said. And I tend to have a lot of energy.

Although Libman is new to Indiana, he is not new to

the Midwest. His daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter live in Cincinnati.

My wife and I are very excited, he said. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard introduced Libman as the

executive director Aug. 12 in a news conference at City

Hall.His enthusiasm for our project is contagious,

Brainard said during the press conference. The center is scheduled to open in fall 2010. An exact

date has not yet been determined. In the meantime, Libman will have board members

to appoint, staff to hire and programming to create. Although he is also president of the Libman Company, a consulting group that works closely with non-profits, he said he will be dedicating nearly all of his time to the per-forming arts center and the region.

This region is blessed that it will have one of the finest performing arts centers in the country, Libman said. This is a place where people can travel to from across the country. And I think thats pretty exciting.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUSTEVEN LIBMAN, THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED DIRECTOR OF THE REGIONAL

PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, BRINGS A VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE INTO HIS NEW ROLE

LIBMANS GOALS AS RPAC DIRECTOR

Bring daily events to the performing arts center Libman hopes to bring activities ranging from dance, theater and music performances to educational activities for members of the community.

Work with schools to incorporate performing arts into curriculum It is crucial that the center is viewed as some-where children can view the performing arts, Libman said. We will have lots of arts education programs and student matinees.

Bring international groups to Carmel Libman hopes to attract groups like the London Symphony and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

Artists depiction of the Regional Performing Arts Center

mAndAtoRy Anonymous gIvIngIt is our opinion that even in these

tough economic times, corporate spon-sorships should be appreciated and com-mended, rather than forced to be name-less. Walking the course at Crooked Stick for the U.S. Senior Open, we noticed that many hospitality tents and villas were unusually incog-nito. Why would a company spend many thousands of dollars to help sponsor an event, but do it in a matter that gives its organization virtually zero market-ing benefit?

It turns out that many companies and organizations (experiencing difficult eco-nomic times and receiving government aid or not) were afraid to show community support in a way that might be considered

ostentatious. How that was defined is un-clear. But it seems to have been universally enforced. No exceptions!

We concur that the frivolous use cor-porate (and especially taxpayer) dollars

is wrong, irresponsible and per-haps criminal. But for local (and profitable companies) to make important community events a part of their marketing effort, is

to be lauded! Using the corporate jet to grab a bite for lunch in Paris or hosting the weekly executive committee meeting at Vegas is something entirely different. Community support and involvement is an enormous benefit to our local economy and should continue to be encouraged, even in difficult economic times.

ChICken And lemonsIt is our position that CARS, com-

monly known as Cash for Clunkers, will inevitably become another example of the Law of Unintended Consequences. The original intent of CARS was to stimulate our struggling economy, particularly our automobile industry, and to encourage us to trade in our gas guzzlers for more environmentally friendly vehicles.

Effective July 1, the program ran out of gas (funds) within four days of its in-ception, ultimately leading lawmakers to expend even more taxpayer dollars while adding to a ballooning federal deficit.

When government chooses to benefit one industry, others often suffer. Auto

manufacturers and dealers love CARS with good reason. But used car dealers, charities, auto parts dealers, and salvage yard owners will suffer under the govern-ment mandate. There is little evidence to

prove that these trade-ins will produce the desired effects on CO2 emissions. And some have surmised that CARS is simply a

UAW handout. Are we creating a green car bubble,

similar to the housing?Once a govern-ment program begins, it usually never ends.Once it was a chicken in every pot. Now, its a new car in every garage. To us, it looks like a lemon for the U.S. taxpayer.

ANOTHER TAKE

READERS VIEWS

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg

TerryAnker

Editor:I am writing concerning the slander-

ous article written by Danielle Wilson in the Aug.18 edition of Current (Why I Am Against Homeschooling). I am disappoint-ed, but not the least bit surprised, at Ms. Wilsons ignorance.

The ridiculous arguments made by Ms. Wilson with regard to homeschoolers being less socialized than their peers shows how little she really knows. When my children entered the school system last year (two of them for the first time), all I heard from their teachers was how polite, kind, thoughtful, ready to learn, and respectful they were.

With every word of Ms. Wilsons article, she seems to be suggesting that it is crazy to be responsible for ones own children. My husband and I chose to have our children. We have never wanted to abdicate our personal responsibility for the upbringing, feeding, clothing, education, and character education of our children. No matter how efficient a teacher may be, a teacher cannot answer to the state or to God for the behav-ior, knowledge or actions of a child. That role will forever belong to parents.

Editor:According to Luke McQuillen is in his Aug.

18 letter, Leave Palin Alone, Our current American media is possibly the greatest threat to liberty. To which I say, if Sarah Palin or any other politician cannot stand the heat of the media right, leftor moderate he/she needs to stay out of the political kitchen.

From my observation, most sides are given equal voice. And all sides can mislead or be cruel. So compare and contrast. Only then will you really get fair and balanced coverage.

Most Americans dont realize that the freedom of the press in making political attacks had its birth with the founding of America. Presidents Washington, Adams, and Jefferson all wrote of their hurt feel-ings and anger at the newspaper coverage of their era. The birth of political parties brought with it the birth of the opposition press. Read Richard N. Rosenfelds American Aurora. Therein, you will findactual editori-als and accounts from our beginnings.

If our spy is correct, the Best Buy store in Westfield could be becoming the Best Buy store in Carmel. Apparently, Simon Malls has been wooing the electronics retailer to its property just south of Best Buys current location. If what our guy tells us is true we have no way to know for certain, since no one officially is speak-ing about it Westfield loses and Carmel gains a decent chunk of tax dollars. Looking at the bigger picture, who could blame Best Buy for making such a move? With the planned conversion of U.S. 31 to a limited-access superspeedway, major portions of the land north of the bridge on the west side of 31 will be claimed by the project. Perhaps Best Buy is doing the pru-dent thing by moving just several hundred yards to the southeast. What concerns us is this: How many other businesses even are thinking about bolting from the cor-ridor, much less to another municipality? We hope theyll all be accommodated in Westfield for the long haul.

Did anyone notice a recent ruling giving

the IRS access to documents created by a company (Textron) to determine if its calculation of its tax liabilities would pass

a potential audit? Some lawyers say this ruling is an attack by the courts on the work-product doctrine, the legal rule that protects an individual or business from having to turn over documents created in anticipation of litigation. Scary stuff.

More on taxes. UBS is being forced,

by the IRS, to turn over the identities of 4,450 names behind secret Swiss bank ac-counts. Seems like a lot of trouble to track down tax evaders. Youd think if Obama wanted to nail tax cheats, hed just stop by Tim Geithners office. Or Tom Daschles. Or HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebeliuss. Or the office of Nancy Killefer, who was slated to be the White Houses first chief perfor-mance officer. And lets not forget Charles Rangel (D, NY) and that pesky rental income on which hes yet to pay taxes.

Who really sets the order of our day? Kids? Employers? Parents? Spouses?Television? Each and every day someone

(or too often, many some-ones) are in line to demand attention and service and consumption from our day. So much so that we often feel as though we are not in con-trol of our own time; nor do we manage our own resources.

Could it be that our most precious single asset, time, doesnt belong to us at all? Or is it simply that we are so will-ing to mortgage ourselves that we become slaves to those to whom we find ourselves com-mitted? One of my favorite aphorisms, A lack of prepa-ration on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part, outlines the dilemma. Because, in spite of the cute sayings to the contrary, the folly of an-other does, in fact, often reprioritize our own busy day it becomes the proverbial emergency.

But does it really matter? We routinely

are the benefactors of poor planning on the part of our fellow humans. Slow, unprepared drivers are often my personal favorites folks who U-turn on busy freeways because they missed their exit

while texting Junior about yes-terdays American Idol results. It seems that waiting until the next opportunity to reverse course safely at the next exit (thus paying the price for their error) would be too much of a personal sacrifice. So, these folks share the inconvenience of their mistake with hun-dreds (if not thousands) of their fellow travelers namely us. Do they really think that they have the right to charge their goof to our tab?

But even as I consider my personal indignation at the

bad behavior of others, I am reminded of my own selfishness. Is my own inconsid-eration offset by that of others?Maybe I should keep my emergencies to myself.

DISPATCHES

Summer is nearly over, and after several vacations, barbeques and impromptu cocktail parties, Id like to reflect on why it is often a better choice to skip the libations

and enjoy the antics of adults drinking to excess. (In light of my controversial Glitz at the Ritz article of March 2008, however, I am issuing the follow-ing disclaimer: All events and people described below are FICTIONAL. Any names mentioned have been changed to protect the inno-cent. I love all of my children, family, in-

laws and neighbors, and anyone who oper-ates in a volunteer capacity. My husband is not an alcoholic, nor are we considering divorce. God bless Jesus and the USA!)

1. If a game of charades deteriorates into lowbrow name-calling and childish peanut-throwing, the sober person has the advantage. Drunk people have a harder time accessing memories that may prove relevant to the argument and cannot dodge ashtrays as quickly as they think.

2. Sober people rarely awaken in the den to find their 2-year old sans diaper and what looks like mud but smells like something else smeared all over the sofa and rug. Good morning, Daddy!

3. In the event of a spontaneous skinny-dip, sober individuals appear far more attractive to those wearing beer-colored glasses and can more easily assess the physical attributes of their tipsy com-rades without fear of detection. Forget the enhancements, ladies! Just get your fella wasted!

4. Intoxicated individuals are much more likely to chug the water with previously eaten oysters than non-drinkers, which is perfect if youre fishing for sharks but not so great if youre after a leisurely snorkel.

5. Gentlemen schnockered on Schlitz dont understand how an invisible fence works until theyve tried it out them-selves; a sober person wouldnt actually have to put on Fidos collar and try to escape the yard to test the shocking power of electricity.

6. A person can in fact hit a nine iron from across the street into our second-story bedroom window, but only at midnight on a Saturday after several shots of Patron. Had I not been a sober wit-ness to this remarkable achievement, I wouldnt have known how to win the family golf tournament.

7. Sober people never think its a good idea to take a boat ride at 3 a.m. through

unchartered waters to a skanky dock-side bar without GPS or a cell phone. Or should I say sober women?

8. When a sober person cuts his foot wide open on a rusted metal object, he ele-vates his leg, applies pressure, and then goes to the ER for stitches. He does not go swimming, jogging and/or dancing. He just doesnt.

9. Only drunk people wake up face down on neighbors front lawns.

10. In a Michael Jackson dance-off, ham-mered Billie Jeans simply cannot com-pete with those who have abstained, even if they are PYTs. Walking backward in slow motion is not only bad, it doesnt constitute a legitimate moonwalk either. You wanna be startin somethin? Then dont drink fermented liquids!

11. (This topic is so good, I had to go one louder.) No hangover!

Now, I love a cold beer as much as the next, and dont get me started the joys of rum punches. All Im saying is that its highly amusing to be the lone sober person at an event where adults are making fools of them-selves thanks to an excess of wine, liquor or other creative concoction. So if you need some cheap entertainment and cant wait for the holidays, drink soda at your next shindig and watch the magic unfold! Peace out.

By Andrea ZeekCurrent in Carmel

Oogles and Googles owner Kevin Mendell is opening a first-of-its-kind preschool in Carmels Arts & Design District that is now enrolling.

Oogles and Googles, a childrens event-planning service that Mendell started eight years ago in Carmel, now has more than 30 stores nationally and plans to open its first international store in New Dehli, India. Through his growing busi-ness, Mendell, Mister Kevin to children, performs imagination-based learning pro-grams for children at local schools, where he noticed something was missing.

Preschools were really lacking in teach-ing kids about arts and culture, Mendell said. They are really emphasizing academ-ics, but I think kids will learn through fun and play.

Mendell said thats why he wanted to open a preschool. He said his school will teach its students about the arts by taking full advantage of its A&D District loca-tion. Students will visit local vendors and

take regular walking tours of the district, in addition to participating in the daily music and imagination programs that Oogles and Googles is known for, Mendell said.

The schools location, a 100-year-old converted home, also gives children a dif-ferent feel than the traditional preschool, he said.

It will have a backyard where we can do activities, Mendell said. We can build snowmen in the winter, a great hands-on experience for a preschooler.

The preschool will enroll about 20 chil-dren and have three teachers, including Mendell, to make sure students get plenty of personalized attention.

Kids will really get a sense of belong-ing, he said. I find that a lot of these preschools have grown so large that a lot of the children have pushed to the side.

Mendell said he is looking forward to the upcoming school year and continu-ing to work on something he is passionate about.

Its been a rewarding journey, he said. The thing that I love most is just how they (the children) are just little sponges. They just absorb anything you tell them. When their smiles light up, it just lights me up.

Dorothy Ilgen has big plans for the Carmel Clay Education Foundation as its new executive director.

Ilgen, the foundations first full-time executive direc-tor, said now is the time for a full-time director, because the foundation would like to be more visible in the community.

The foundation wanted to increase its impact on educa-tion in Carmel and wanted to expand its mission and felt it needed someone here full-time to do that, she said.

Ilgen said she will be spearheading ef-forts to make the foundations Web site more of a go-to for community mem-bers. She will also follow-up with past scholarship recipients and with teachers who were awarded grants for special pilot curriculum initiatives.

Id like to see if there is an opportu-nity to do a pilot project that could be replicated across all grades or move from school building to school building, Ilgen said.

The foundation, whose mission is to

support Carmel Clay students in aca-demic achievement and lifelong learn-ing by funding educational grants and scholarships, focuses in two main areas,

Ilgen said supporting teach-ers and administrators with grants and providing scholar-ships to students. The founda-tion has awarded more than $1.5 million in scholarships in more than 40 years and more than $600,000 in grants since that program began in the 1980s.

Funds for scholarships and grants come from several special events including an annual telethon and schol-arship drawing.

This year also marks the foundations first 5K and Family Fun Run. The run is another way for the foundation to supplement the expansion of programs within the schools and growing needs among students.

The Carmel Clay Education Foundation wants to play a larger role in education and raise more funds and diversify its funding. That takes a con-certed effort, Ilgen said. But people are interested in the success of the founda-tion and thats been very helpful.

I am guessing you will agree with me when I suggest it unusual to find a teenager who after working hard to come up with $10,000, now wants to give it away. Yes, I said give it away.

That is exactly what Carmel High School freshman Lauren Gibson is doing, and she specif-ically wants to give her money to other kids.

Maybe you recall in this column several months ago, I shared with you the story of Margot and her quest to earn $10,000 from the Clorox Company. She entered the con-test using her strategy on how she could make the prize money generate environmentally green initiatives in her community. Her unique concept was to establish a mini-foundation giving micro-grants to many organizations with major ambition to help conserve our planets resources.

Carmel Green Teen Micro Grant Program is up and running, ready to pro-vide the engine that will drive the antici-pated numerous green projects managed by Carmels younger generation.

We are so excited to give youth the power to have a positive impact on our community without money as a limiting factor, said leader Lauren.

Good leaders always need help and recog-nize their limitations. This is so with Lauren, and she is aided by a worthy team of commit-tee members helping her dole out the cash.

If you go to the Web site (www.carmel-greenteen.org) to apply for a micro-grant, you will also find examples of potential projects ideas like planting trees or working with organizations and public facilities to loan recycling containers. Motivated kids could establish a community garden or figure out methods to properly dispose of water bottles used by sports teams and active kids.

I have no clue how to make a rain barrel, but maybe a micro-grant could be used to teach me not only how to make one, but why I should care. Roadway cleanup, school light bulbs, ve-

hicle idling in the school carpool line and recycling, recycling, recycling are all areas of interest that will ultimately benefit the environment.

Carmel will be turning greener in the coming months, and you have Lauren Gibson and Clorox to thank for that.

gIvIng It All AwAyBy Jordan FischerCurrent in Carmel

Mayor Jim Brainard announced Thursday that local company Software Engineering Professionals will relocate its offices to the Carmel City Center.

We want to give our employees a place where they enjoy working, said Jeff Gilbert, president of SEP. Our cul-ture is at the heart of everything we do, and giving them a new building with specific amenities was important to us.

SEP will move into a new building, which will be connected to the current theater building. The lease with SEP was signed by the Carmel City Center Community Development Corporation. The purpose of the 4CDC is to finance and lease the office building separate from the Carmel Redevelopment Commission. Public funding will be used for the development of the site, though the amount is unclear, as the project is still out for public bid.

This is exactly what we had envi-sioned when we laid the groundwork for city center, Brainard said of SEPs move.

The addition of SEP to our new downtown is exactly the sort of enter-prise that is needed to help attract more companies to this formerly rundown area, he said.

Funded by Rose-Hulman graduates in 1988, SEP offers full lifecycle soft-

ware solutions to clients in the medical, aerospace, healthcare and national de-fense markets. It was recently named an Indianapolis Star 2009 Top Workplace, and received the Best-In-Category for work/life flexibility. SEP plans to open its new downtown offices in 2011.

We certainly have enjoyed work-ing with the officers and employees of Software Engineering Professionals, and were looking forward to having them as neighbors, Brainard said. They share our vision.

So, this becomes the most recent addition to the City Center, joining City Center Drive, the Amli apart-ments, Ryland townhomes, Salon 01, the Monon Trail, the Hoosier Realty building, the Kosene condos, Pedcor, the Veterans Memorial Plaza, the (Regional Performing Art Center) and the adjacent theatre building, for which we will break ground next month for a 12- to 14-month construction period.

I am quite grateful that decorative mirrors are no longer marbled with an eerie gold vein and then stuck to the wall with adhesive. I remember this look from the 80s, and it wasnt

appealing then and was quite deserv-ing of a past-tense mention.

Mirror collections are strong in 2009 but have moved far beyond the ad-hesive-backed tiles that were plucked from dusty shelves at local hardware stores. These glass collections provide a strong statement that illuminates a space and provide

drama. Light trips and dances off these judiciously placed looking glasses and adds life and dimension to the room.

Oversized and over the top, mirrors share center stage with collection and give a whole new look to the other side of the looking glass! Whether the piece is an oversized mantel mirror, a constellation of circular sunbursts or a collection of related mirrors, the newest mirrors add drama, as well as sparkle and warmth, to a home.

A fabulous decorative piece, borrowed

from the 19th century Italians, is the star-burst mirror. This homage to the sun in the form of a light-reflecting glass is one of my favorite accessories because it settles quite comfortably into a traditional set-ting. Whether the room is modern, retro or glamorous, the starburst mirror seems to fit right in and provide a bold exclama-tion point for any bedroom, bath or living room.

Italian artisans are the source of a lesser-known type of mirror called a verre glomis plaques (typically referred to as reverse painted glass). This spectacular decorative piece is painted, gilded, or en-graved on the reverse, and then protected by another sheet of glass, a coat of varnish,

or a layer of foil. When a mirror is used as a focal point

in a room, consider the frame. A substan-tial frame that can stand on its own can manage the focal responsibility. An un-eventful mirrored glass can create a black hole if the reflection is of little interest. While plain mirrors positioned to reflect trees, sky or items of beauty are ideal, the ornate and unexpected framed mirrors are perfect for foyers and mantels.

I went to Ball State University to become a fashion magazine jour-nalist, but what I really wanted to do is what you see IN the maga-zines: the hair and makeup, said Kelly. After saying goodbye to Ball State, Kelly began the jour-ney to fulfill her passion by at-tending Hair Fashions by Kaye Beauty College. As Kelly has de-veloped over the past couple of years at Salon 01, she has found a passion for up-dos and special occasion hair.

Kelly is very artistic in many oth-er areas as well. I always am working on a painting at home. Kelly said. I also love to write childrens stories and would love to be published someday. Her creativity for art and writing has helped Kelly develop an eye for matching the perfect hair color and style to each individual guest she sees.

The September 2009 issue of Mens Health magazine names the color Gray as the new power color for men this season. There is a classic connotation to gray, yet it is a color that looks sleek and modern. Any shade of gray will do, light, medium or dark, it is a hard color to go wrong with. Mens Health gives four tips when thinking Gray:

Choose a shade: Gray is an elegant color that goes with any-thing. Pair gray shoes, a belt or tie with any color suit or shirt.

Mix it up: Dont wear the same shade of gray from head to toe. Mixing colors of slate charcoal or heather keeps things interesting.

Add texture: Patterns and texture keep this color exciting from casual plaids to dressy cashmere.

Wear with care: Gray leather tends to show stains and dirt more quickly than darker colors, so upkeep is important. Re-member to protect your leather items with a spray or wax polish.

By: Alex ParedesLately, it seems as if some stars are going blonde, and that

makes us wonder, do blondes really have more fun? Kim Kar-dashian, for instance has been seen in a bright blonde hue this summer. We have also seen Britney Spears return to her signature blonde hair as she preps for the rest of her summer tour.

Salon01 is keeping up with these famous ladies and their hair trends. The stylists at Salon 01 are available to consult with you to see if one of these blonde bombshell shades is right for you! Call Salon01 to set up your consultation at 317-580-0101 or check our website www.salon01.com.

This season, add instant style to almost any outfit by pairing a belt in almost any fabric or texture. Belts come in all colors, leather, suede and cloth. Pair a belt with your favorite dress or sweater for a cool look this fall!

HONEST.LOYAL.DEPENDABLE.(and so is the dog)

Named TOP ALL STAR AGENT by IBJ

2008Families fac-

ing divorce are often experienc-ing emotional and financial cri-ses, and concerns about attorneys fees and ex-penses associated with a divorce can overwhelm a spouse who is already under

extreme stress. But even in todays tough economic times, there are options for couples who have reached the breaking point, with litigation alternatives such as mediation, arbitration and collaborative law offering parties more control with the least financial and emotional impact.

While mediation and arbitration have become more familiar, few people, including family law therapists, are familiar with collaborative law. This emerging practice area stresses the in-terests of children and promotes cooperation among the parties rather than confrontation in the courtroom. In collaborative divorce, the separating couple and their specially-trained attorneys pledge at the outset to try to work things out through open communication, using other collaborative experts such as counselors, financial advisors, and divorce coaches as necessary to assist in the details.

They commit not to go to court or use the information shared in collaborative discus-sions in litigation. Parties have more control to work out settlement details and find cre-ative solutions for their problems, which they understand better than a judge or third party. Positive outcomes are best reached through respectful communications, not courtroom battles.

Retention of a collaborative attorney does not change the nature of the attorney-client relationship, but instead changes the attitudes and tasks both lawyer and client take as they man- age the divorce case. The focus on settlement requires parties to move out of their corners and into a discussion focused

on peacefully changing the family structure in the most mutually advantageous way possible. Negotiating a settlement can also help minimize the financial im-pact of the divorce as parties are avoiding the time, fees

and costs incurred with litigation. As members of The International Academy

of Collaborative Professionals,the collaborative law attorneys of Jocham

Harden Dimick Jackson, PC are trained to help you determine which option is best for you. If your family is facing a crisis, contact our office at 317-569-0770, or visit www.jhdj-law.com to learn more.

COST-EFFECTIVE MEANS TO A RESPECTFUL DIVORCEAdvertisement

Today, the buzz in your pocket might just mean you are receiving a call from a friend, but the buzz of the future will be a continua-tion of the growing entertainment

and communication network in your hand or hip pocket. If you own a smartphone, you know they penetrate every aspect of your life, quickly be-coming a more sophisticated, adult version of your childhood blanket or teddy bear.

And they are mini time machines too. They manufac-ture time by capitalizing on downtime in a meeting, in the car, at the airport, on the couch, and, yes, on the toilet, these little devices turn no time into found time. Mobile ap-plications, instant messaging, e-mail, text messaging, social networks all are available on most any smart phone with a data package.

The smartphone has given the term marketing to the pocket new meaning. Now companies can connect to custom-ers at any time. However, one factor still remains: You have to be relevant. Even when you are manufacturing time, the delete key is looming, ready to snatch your message directly from the eyes of the con-

sumer before they consume it. In this brave new world where mobile

devices circumvent the historic barriers of the people Im trying to reach are all on dial-up and people are too busy to pay

attention, content is still king. Relevant and timely content rules this kingdom. And rel-evance isnt always about your solution. More and more com-panies are using their support of a cause or perhaps using a game or some form of enter-tainment to hook a viewer and deliver their story or message in the process.

As every company looks to the future of marketing, con-sider simply thinking in terms of connection instead of marketing or selling. With that subtle shift, it becomes more

important to harness new ways to connect and emphasizes again the need to create dialogue on relevant subjects rather than simply broadcasting messages of products and services. Its time to start thinking a little more like these phones; its time to be a little smarter.

CReAtIng the RIght vIbe

I recently had a speaking engagement at a company downtown. This was a 3-hour workshop, actually, and some-thing I had prepared quite diligently for. As the room filled

up, I asked my client if she was planning to make any opening remarks.

Showtime arrived and my client took the stage. She shared some thoughts with the audience, and then began my introduction. This is always an interesting time. Sometimes I provide a written intro in advance, and sometimes I just let the client wing it. Today, my client was on her own. She provided a brief overview of my background, and then did the unexpected she called me her friend.

Most of the time, clients arent so forthright and transparent about business relationships. I was both surprised and flattered. I also suddenly felt even more responsibility to exceed whatever expecta-tions existed in the room.After the intro, I went to work, giving it all I had.The workshop went very well, and the reviews

were quite positive.Whew.For many years, I have preached the

following adage: All things being equal, people do business with people they like

and all things being not so equal, people still do business with people they like. My col-league Jeffrey Gitomer puts it this way: Make a sale, earn a commission. Make a friend, earn a fortune.

I know that its not possible to know every customer on the same level. Quite frankly, some of them just dont oper-ate that way.Dont let that deter you.Its a valuable skill to be able to create a vibe where people want to do business with you.

So the question you must ask yourself becomes who does

business with me because of me? Where do I have that kind of equity and make that kind of impact?

MONEY MATTERSHow will the Indiana State Fairs decision to stay

open 5 days longer affect its revenue?

I think itll just cost more to be open (longer). Were just not going this year because of previ-ous engagements; money has a lot to do with it.

More time being open will give people more opportunity to go.

Phillip Skarren Carmel

There will obviously be more income, but whether thats per person, Im not sure. Sometimes things wear out their welcome over a period of time.

sIt bACk And set youR mInd At eAseBy Brandie BohneyCurrent in Carmel

Just sit right back, And youll hear a tale,A tale of a fateful tripThat started with two simple

wordsWhose meanings cause a slip.Sorry about that, folks. For some reason,

I just couldnt get the ol Gilligans Island theme song out of my head. And since it contains one of the words in question correctly used, by the way it was just too perfect.

The two words whose meanings cause a slip are sit and set. Did you notice that the song doesnt start, Just set right back, and youll hear a tale? Theres a reason for that. Sit and set are not interchangeable, as ap-parently many people believe.

The explanation is a little ugly, though, and I think thats why people continue to make the error way back when in gram-mar class, they just got too bored and confused, and they decided knowing the difference wasnt worth the hassle.

There are basically three types of verbs: transitive, intransitive, and linking. Were going to focus on transitive and intransi-tive today.

Transitive verbs indicate that an action is being performed on something and there-fore require a direct object: Please set the papers on my desk. The papers the direct

object are being acted upon.Intransitive verbs are actions

that do not have a direct object; they are not being performed on something: Please sit.So maybe its confusing because

youll probably sit on something, such as a chair or desk or tack, but that infor-mation isnt necessary to complete the mean-ing of the sentence. If I just say, Please set, youre going to be left wondering, Set what? And where? Thats because set is a transitive verb, and it needs an object.

An object, however, is not to be con-fused with a prepositional phrase: Please sit in the saddle.

And the rule follows for every form of the verb. Papers cannot be setting on a desk, but a secretary can be setting papers on a desk. A car cannot be setting on the driveway, but a very strong man, theo-retically, could set a rather small car on a driveway.

Do you see the difference? Have I set you straight? Can you sit back and relax now?

I hope so.

You can lead a child to water, but you

cant make him drink. So it is our job is to create their thirst. The thirst, in this case, is providing them with opportunities to drink from the fountain of aca-demic success.

1. Encourage exercise to help your childs mind to be strong and alert.

2. Begin their school day with a dose of healthy self-worth through encour-agement. Encouraged children like themselves and want to learn to be successful in school.

3. Avoid rewards and punishment. Some parents punish their children for low grades. Punishment does not help children learn to be re-sponsible.Grounding a teenager or taking away TV privileges creates power struggles, not cooperation.

Some parents pay their children to reward them for good grades. If chil-dren expect money for good grades, they may focus on the money, not the learning.

4. Show interest and be available during homework time. Be there to answer questions or research material. If the subject is politics, show interest by discussing politics; if the subject is astronomy, study some constellations in the night sky together.

5. Give limits and choices about when to get the homework done.

6. Attend all parent/teacher conferences.

7. Ask open questions: What was the best part of your day? What was the worst part of your day? And then listen, listen, listen to show you are paying attention to their feelings and understand their concerns.

Success in school begins with a thirst for knowledge. Knowledge is a waterfall for successful learning. Hugs!

TOPICAL SKIN SUPPLEMENTS - Applying vitamins topically delivers maximum anti-aging benefits--everything from improving texture and tone to fading under-eye circles.

Vitamin A: use youre a-enriched creams and lotions at night, as the sun inhibits A.

Vitamin B3: apply in the morning and evening for maximum moisture boost.

Vitamin C: put this all-around anti-ager on in the morning before sunscreen

Vitamin E: to ease dryness, apply before and after sun exposure.

Vitamin K: apply nightly to help prevent under-eye circles.

DRY SHAMPOO - Washing your hair every day will dry it out, even in the summer heat. But a build-up of oils especially near your scalp may occur overnight, and you may be tempted to break out the shampoo in the morning shower. Instead, try a dry shampoo, often sprayed into the hair, left to sit for a few moments, then combed through. You may just find that your hair can feel clean and soft without a shampoo in the shower daily.

DISPATCHES one CuP of Joe goes A long wAyQuestion: Will coffee help or hurt my early morning workouts?

Research shows drinking coffee before your early workout can enhance the quali-ty of your training. If youre trying to drop body fat and youd like to avoid calories early in the morning, coffee is an excellent alternative. The caffeine in coffee is a cen-tral nervous system stimulant and will pro-vide a boost of energy, although the effect varies greatly among individuals.

Caffeine is actually considered an ergo-genic aid, meaning it enhances physical performance. It can also increase your bodys use of fat as an energy source during your workout.

Well admit to teaching many highly caffeinated a.m. classes during the 80s, an era of killer aerobics, and drinking non-fat lattes from the local coffee shops in the Bay Area. Coffee has been help-ful in putting extra gusto in many early morning exercise bouts. There are many times when coffee provides that extra push needed to get started with a workout, no matter what the plan.

Pre-workout java has been shown to decrease perceived exertion so that your workload will seem easier than it actu-ally is. Keep in mind, coffee does increase heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure,

and it can make you a bit jittery if youre a newbie. Luckily, these effects are relatively mild. In fact, much of the research these days is fo-cused on the potential health

benefits of coffee, rather than any health risks. Next time you need a little extra spring in your step, a

cup of liquid motivation and activity go together well, like coffee and cream!

Here are the ten medication mistakes experts say are most likely to kill or cause serious harm. In most cases, avoiding them is as simple as asking your doctor exactly what he or she is prescribing and making certain your M.D. knows every other medication you take. Using a single phar-macy helps, too.

1. Confusing two medications with similar-sounding names.

2. Taking drugs tha magnify each others potential side effects.

3. Overdosing by combining meds with similar properties.

4. Getting the dosage wrong.5. Mixing alcohol with medications.6. Taking a brand-name drug and its

generic at the same time.7. Taking prescription drugs and

OTC drugs without knowing how they interact.

8. Not understanding interactions of medications with your diet.

9. Failing to adjust dosage with loss of liver or kidney function.

10. Taking a medication not safe for your age.

From 6-8 p.m. each Friday through Labor Day weekend, HOMExperience opens its doors for customers and passers-by to learn about the services the store has to offer, as well as sample wine and cheese while enjoying the music and artwork set up on the front patio.

All artwork is for sale that evening and throughout the following week, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Martindale-Brightwood Community Fund.

Each Friday, the artists are present to show off their work as well as do live demonstrations.

Not everyone has had the opportunity to watch an artist produce work, local artist Rita Spalding said. Its pretty in-triguing if youve never seen it before.

Spalding, who works in sales for Estridge at Bridgewater, has featured her work twice on the Artist Spotlight evenings.

Spalding said she has used her connec-

tions in the Carmel area to bring the event to the attention of local artists, and many have been eager to participate.

While this is the first summer Estridge has put on the weekly event, Director of Marketing Mary Catharine Grau said the idea stemmed from a long-standing effort to give back to the community.

HOMExperience was originally de-signed to support community events such as this, Grau said. We actually have a stage in the store. Our initiative is to engage customers in the community.

The final two events of the summer will be August 28, featuring artist Susie Rachels, and September 4, with art-ists Susan Mauck, Nikko Minichello and Mary Ann Davis. Musician Frank Bradford will entertain both events. For more information, visit www.estridge.com/HOMExperience.aspx or call 317-669-8600.

In past articles, I have written of centuries of food based not only on ethnic protocols, but on necessity, utilization and the desire to allevi-ate starvation in the non-production

months, namely winter and early spring. Recently this came to mind as I thought back to the Polish fairs at the Catholic church, or the German fall cel-ebrations, namely Oktoberfest.

Americans not only bastardized the theory of foods on a stick, but also eliminated categories of food

offered at these celebrations. There used to be sausages and soups, canned vegetables and fruits, smoked meats and home made jerkys. According to the carnies at this years fair, most were immigrants from Eastern Europe and Slavic countries trying to make a living. Asking what they were to have for dinner, it wasnt food on a stick or over-sized pork tenderloin sandwiches; it was the bi-products or secondary parts of the animals as our ancestors would con-sume. It was evident, economics had hit hard and this was a way to cope with the lack of income.

The other form of utilizing bi-products I have mentioned previously is called charcuterie, which is the art of pate, ter-rine and sausage making. Offal goes even further, using leftover products in making dishes that qualify as courses, from soups, to starter appetizers, to entrees. Recently, I have sat in on classes taught by some of the countrys master chefs, who are also teammates on team USA. Often their strategy is utilizing this lost tech-nique of preserving, and with no waste of the animal. They use the entire animal from brains to tail, basically nothing is

discarded. When we think of life before refrigera-

tion, freezers, the convenience of grocery stores or restaurants, man kind was forced in practicing Offal. Younger generations can not fathom this; however, it was the way of life. Chose from an age old culinary practice, or starve and develop diseases due

to malnutrition? This, I teach to my family, and the cooks

at work as most are clue-less of life before the past 100+ years.

Sweetbreads are a type of Offal; they generally

come from lamb, veal, or pork. There are two kinds from the thymus gland, or from the pancreas. Before using in a recipe, they must be soaked overnight to help rid of impurities, then poach in a water-acid mix, shock in ice water, then remove the outer mem-brane along with any other attached non-meat items. (For more precise directions, refer to a cookbook). Included is a simple recipe featuring veal sweetbreads, which are already prepared for cooking use.

10 p.m. Sunday, 4:30 p.m. 9 p.m.

Sushiyamas owners believe corporate sushi restaurants dont compare to their authentic sushi. Seafood is fresh with the strongest tastes coming from the restaurants unique sauces and seasonings. Sushiyama even takes lengths to place importance on tex-tures with its meals. The restaurant brings this aspect of eating out in its food by balancing it with the unique tastes created in its own kitchen. A professional South Korean sushi chef prepares the sushi at Sushiyama. As with Japanese sushi, the South Korean-style sushi has strict standards. Sushiyama employees personally select the fish they bring in to meet the personal standards.

Astrid & VeronikaBy Linda Olsson

After the death of her soul mate, Veronika returns to her Swedish homeland and rents a house in a small village. Gradually she befriends Astrid, the lonely old woman who lives in the house across the lane. Astrid has spent 60 years married to a man she hates and mourning the daughter who died; Veronika is unable to face life after her devastating loss. As the gray, cold days of winter give way to the brilliant sun of spring and summer, their friendship blossoms and each woman is able to release the heartbreak and regret that had frozen her in the past.

Swedish novelist Olssons debut novel is a hauntingly lyrical exploration of love, loss, and rebirth. In measured, yet descriptive prose the lives of two women are slowly unveiled against the vivid backdrop of the Swedish country-side. Olsson is fluent in both Swedish and English and her prose is comforting and meditative yet at the same time powerfully emotional.
