At the February Zionsville Town Council meeting, the council approved an increased
budget for the Zionsville Architectural Review Committee.
The committee will see a $25,000 budget increase from 2013, from $50,000 to $75,000. This money is granted to small business own-ers in an effort to help beautify Zionsville’s downtown. These funds come from the town’s food and beverage account.
Former recipients of these façade grants include Lowder Insurance, which received $11,108 in 2011, and Cobblestone Grill, which received $12,723 in 2013.
This year, the committee has already ap-proved a $25,550 grant for the Villagio restau-rant. A pending grant of $34,308 is appropri-ated for the 305 S. Main St. building that will soon become Scoops Ice Cream and Gelato.
“I thought [the committee] needed to get more,” said Councilwoman Candace Ulmer, following the council’s approval.
Councilman Steve Mundy said this is a great program to help Zionsville’s businesses thrive.
“It’s very worthwhile,” he said. “But you don’t want to spend all your budget on one project.”
Mundy recommended the group move from its previous 50/50 matching program to a lean-er budget of granting perhaps 30 or 40 percent to a project, to give money to more businesses instead of just one or two each year.
The façade grant application currently states, “The façade grant program provides matching grants of up to 50% of the project cost for qualifying projects with no maximum cap.”
It also states that these grants should be used to provide a pleasing aesthetic for busi-ness owners and consumers, but that these are not maintenance grants.
To be approved, these grants must “encour-age the enhancement of historic or distinct architectural features.”

Say what you will about author George R.R. Martin and HBO’s adapta-tion of his epic fantasy series, but they’re willing to take big storytell-ing chances. That narrative brashness continues in season three, which sees the entire continent of Westeros split into different warring factions. It’s full of surprises and unexpected character development, with fan favorites brought low and the hissable Lannister clan seemingly triumphant. Read more at currentnightandday.com

Since the Jan. 10 announcement that Hat World, Inc. will be moving to a site at Creekside
Corporate Park, talks of tax abatements and incentives have been looming.
Hat World is planning for a 150,000-square-foot corporate office, which will create approxi-mately 450 jobs. Annuals salaries for these jobs will average $52,000.
The town’s publicist, Kate Snedecker, stated that the project will have a “tremendous local economic impact.”
The Zionsville Town Council approved fee waivers for road impact fees, sewer connection fees, building ILP fee and sign permit fee at its Feb. 3 meeting. These waivers come to an ap-proximate value of $264,000.
Last week, the town officially released the estimated figures for just how much money Hat
World will save with the assistance of tax abatements.
Two forms of tax abatements are being proposed: a real estate abatement and a per-sonal property abate-ment. Both of these are good for 10 years.
The real estate
Abatement numbers revealed
abatement is estimated to be $194,438 per year. The personal property abatement is estimated to be $15,350 per year.
A public hearing to discuss the tax abate-ments is scheduled for 6 p.m. March 3 at town hall during the town council’s meeting.

What is a tax abatement? A tax holiday is a tem-porary reduction or elimination of a tax. Governments usually create tax holidays as incen-tives for business investment.
These are the proposed tax abatements for Hat World, Inc.

$194,438 (note: land value is not
eligible for 50% abatement)

property is eligible for 50% abatement)

Steve Schwartz, owner of Ballerinas and Bruisers, has made many connections with his
customers through the years, but none compares to a recent chat with a customer. It was from this
one conversation that the Wrapped in Love dia-per drive was conceived.
While speaking with Dr. Chuck Dietzen, founder of Timmy Global Heath, Schwartz learned of the dire conditions many families at the Benja-min Bloom Children’s Hospital in San Salvador, El Salvador are forced to endure.
Dietzen had just returned from El Salvador on one of his many mission trips. He observed pa-tients’ parents reusing disposable diapers because they are both unaffordable and often unavailable.
Schwartz recalled the story he heard with sadness.
“He was a little disturbed at what transpired there. It was moms wringing out their disposal diapers so they could reuse them. And there was a little boy sitting at the entrance of the hospital with a diaper that had to have been three days full,” Schwartz said.
Currently, disposal diapers in El Salvador cost $1, when most of the families there earn, on av-erage, $1 to $4 per day.
Schwartz’s heart went out to these families, who inspired him to organize the Wrapped in Love diaper drive to benefit the People Helping
People Network and the families of the Bloom Children’s Hospital in El Salvador.
“I was thrilled with his reaction,” said Dietzen. “It is great when you have people in your own community whom you can come home and tell what you experienced, and have them grab onto it and say, ‘We’ll [help].’”
Both Ballerinas and Bruisers in Zionsville and SoHo Café and Gallery in Carmel will be collecting packages of disposal diapers from Feb. 15 through March 1. Patrons can also donate gift cards from Target, Meijer or Costco to purchase diapers.
The People Helping People Network will send the diaper donations, along with a larger effort to bring urgent medical supplies to Bloom Children’s Hospital in El Salvador. The goal is to fill one large shipping container to be sent in mid-March.

Anson will see a flood of new job opportuni-ties for Zionsville and Whitestown residents this
year with the opening of Meijer, and now with the proposed opening of Weaver Popcorn Co.
Weaver Popcorn Co. is a Noblesville-based company that plans to move into a new research and development facility in the up-and-coming area of Anson. The company expects to spend $18 million to make improvements and buy equipment for an existing site that overlooks Interstate 65.
Having operated for more than 80 years, the
company stated that it would move 50 corporate jobs from Noblesville to Anson, and add more than 40 full-time jobs.
Most of these new positions will be in the manufacturing department and will pay an aver-age of $22 an hour.
Bryan Brackemyre, executive director of the Boone County Economic Development Corpora-tion, has recommended that Whitestown offer Weaver a personal property tax abatement that would save the popcorn maker more than $1.2 million over 10 years.
The site is expected to open by mid-May. For information on how to apply for jobs at
Weaver, visit www.PopWeaver.com.

The Zionsville Community School Board of Trustees met on Feb. 10. Below are a few of the
meeting’s highlights.Make-up snow days
Superintendent Dr. Scott Robison said that he is currently meeting with teachers and staff to discover the best ways to make up snow days. Options include extending school hours or using electronic means.
“The aim is to keep us out of June,” Robison said.
He said he has received many comments from students and parents asking that school not be prolonged into June, due to planned international travel and summer camps.
Robison said that he hopes to follow the “Ohio model” of delivering content to students on a Thursday, and then giving them an entire week to complete the assigned work electronically. This would give students a long lead time and allow teachers to be available for questions. Ro-bison will present his final recommendation for make-up days at the board’s Feb. 24 meeting. He hopes that the make-up days will occur in March.
Service projectsThe board recognized fifth-grader Tara Harmon
from Mrs. Ostendorf’s class at Zionsville West Middle School. Harmon raised money to provide school uniforms to students in Indianapolis Public Schools. She received a $500 grant from
the Colts and a $750 grant from Walmart Corporation in order to purchase the uniforms.
“Not everybody is able to go home and have dinner on the table or have clean clothes every day,” Harmon said. “[Ser-vice projects] can actually be really fun to do, and they really help other people, too.”
DOE grantThe board approved a decision to submit a
technology grant application to the Indiana De-partment of Education. This grant money would be used to purchase additional laptop computers for middle school and high school students to rent. This is part of the “One to One” computer to student program.
Sixty percent of students currently purchase their own laptops, with five percent of students receiving free rentals due to economic hardship. This leaves 35 percent of students who need to be able to rent a laptop for the duration of their school days.
Currently, a laptop or netbook is required to complete schoolwork in the middle and high schools. Smartphones and tablets are not ca-pable of being used for schoolwork.

Praying for spring? So are we!We can't wait to help you experience…
Stay Home. Be Moved.
Commentary by Ward Deglar
Last week when I told you that one of my jobs as a kid was to clean ashes out of the furnace, I
failed to mention the ash pile in the backyard. Everybody in town had an ash pile.
Some of those ashes went for garden fertilizer in the spring, and some of them got sprinkled on driveways after winter ice storms. Dad decided to use ours to make soap.
Turns out Mom had been saving bacon grease all during the war. I think it was used to make ammunition or something. And even after the fighting was over she continued to save it, pour-ing it into empty coffee cans. It was while she was muttering about what to do with all that grease that Dad got the soap idea.
Laundry soap, he called it. Good old-fashioned lye soap. According to a recipe he had found in the back of his grandmother’s Bible, bacon grease and ashes were two of the things you needed to make lye soap.
I don’t remember all the steps in this alchemy, but part of it was filtering water through the ashes and then mixing it with the grease and some other stuff in a pot and cooking it over an open fire. I am sure the open fire was necessary because at one point the whole mess smelled so bad it would have driven us out of the house.
After it had bubbled and been stirred for hours, Dad poured the whole shebang into a wooden frame he had made and set it aside to cool. Later he cut the slab of soap into bars and presented them to Mom.
I think she tried one once. I remember she complained about blisters on her hands. After that she went back to her Oxydol. Dad never mentioned the lye soap again.

School Board Discusses Land Swap – At their Feb. 10 meeting the Zionsville School Board of Trustees agreed to allow trustee Jim Longest to continue working alongside the Town of Zionsville in the Creekside Corporate Park land swap. In a tentative agreement, the town will deed Jennings Field property to ZCS in exchange for Creekside Corporate Park land. Jennings Field will remain as is, with no new buildings constructed on the field. ZCS initially purchased the land at Creekside Corporate Park to build a bus main-tenance facility. “We are very close in these final negotiations,” Longest said.

This year the Humane Society for Boone County will celebrate its seven-year an-niversary and raise
money for its animals during its first Fur Ball, which will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 22 inside the Golf Club of Indiana.
Founded by a group of local resident volunteers, the Humane Society has be-come a resource caring for homeless, lost and displaced domestic animals. All of this has been possible despite having no build-ing to work in.
All of the proceeds from the Fur Ball, a Mardi Gras-themed event, will go toward Operation Shelter, a building fund to raise the more than $1.5 million needed to con-struct or buy a place to house the animals. So far, the group has raised $300,000.
The facility for Operation Shelter is ex-pected to cover seven acres at a still-unde-termined location. It will include a dog park large enough to support local residents and their dogs.
“We can’t say for sure now, but it would be our dream,” Humane Society President Susan Austin said. “We would love to have a place for the dogs to get plenty of social-ization, exercise and interaction with other animals. It makes them much better pets in the home because a happy and tired dog is a good dog.”

tions and volunteers. Until now, these volunteers have temporarily fostered the animals. They take care of their day-to-day
needs until the animals can be found a suitable home.
“Our volunteers foster, feed and house the pets, and run them to veterinary ap-pointments for general health and to be spayed or neutered,” Austin said.
The organization currently has more than 60 active volunteers, all whom regis-ter on the group’s Website.
“The Website has helped immensely because it is a good link for people to help the animals,” Austin said. “As long as the pets find a good home, that is what it’s really about.”
The Humane Society’s Website is also linked to PetFinder.com, a searchable data-base to help bring homeless pets to new
owners. The site has a directory of more than 14,000 animal shelters and adoption organizations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
“We use Pet Finder, which I believe is one of the, if not the, biggest listing of all the in-shelter animals. We are a part of that and if people can’t find what they are looking for with us they can use the proximity search of the area [for another shelter] and find what they are looking for,” said Austin.
Austin said she hopes the Fur Ball will raise enough funds for the group to build a place for the animals, and take some of the burden off the volunteers.
“Then maybe we can find all of the ani-mals a permanent home,” she said.
“We Would love to have a place for the dogs to
get plenty of socialization, exercise and interaction
With other animals. it makes them much
better pets in the home because a happy and tired
dog is a good dog.”

The Wall Street Journal, in tandem with NBC News, recently released results of national polling it did, and the results are at once stag-gering and encouraging. How can that be? Read on. Pollsters asked Americans if our nation is better, stagnant or worse off since President Barack Obama took office. An unthinkable (even to us) 68 percent of respondents said the presi-dent has steered the United States to a posi-tion that is worse than when he captured the Oval Office in the aftermath of George W. Bush’s bungled administration. Obama is in his sixth of eight years as our leader. It’s also amazing and heartening, the fact that 81 percent of respon-dents disapprove of the job Congress is doing and twice as many among those polled stated they hold negative views of the Republican Party. Good news, it seems, but for a voting community that needs a serious reset. Maybe it’s under way. Maybe the independents are finally good and fed up with the ineffectiveness of our president and the representatives and senators on both sides of the aisle. Is this the leading edge of a sea change? Are the indepen-dents coming to the fore in a meaningful way? We certainly would celebrate that.

certainly imagine the PT Barnum-like spectacle this display will generate.
Mr. Simmons summarily expressed his bra-vado by proclaiming in an expletive-laced tirade that he would beat Mr. Zimmerman to near death and complete his humiliation by evacuating himself on the body. Mr. Zimmerman, in his own display of modern manhood, has been seeking a boxing match like this one for some time and has been shopping for an opponent most likely to generate attention, and thus cash for himself.
Please forgive the use of rather coarse lan-guage in describing the interaction between these two humans; however, its expression printed here barely exposes the vitriol of what has actually been said. Is this an important ex-pression of rage in our society, or simply unfet-tered and devolved pandering?
Commentary by Terry Anker
Even as we recover from our collective disap-pointment that the big game didn’t provide us with adequate thrills, one is brought to contemplate the modern ethos surrounding the grand combat that is contemporary football. As we sit and listen to commentators compare these young athletes’ prowess to all manner of ancient warriors, the hyperbole is both amusing and concerning.
Just this week a purveyor of such things an-nounced the looming exhibition boxing match of a pair of celebrities – or at least notorious humans. The promoter is bringing together George Zimmer-man, the low-rent, armed neighborhood watch protagonist who shot an unarmed 15-year-old boy, and Earl Simmons, the multi-platinum-selling, bankrupt deadbeat dad of 12 (more paternity claims are being litigated), felon and movie star who presently calls himself DMX. Although there isn’t enough room in this column, perhaps in the entire newspaper, to fully come to grips with these men’s guilt or innocence against the various social expectations they have confronted, one can

I hate snow days
I hate snow days. Between my already busy schedules, snow days mean I then have to add, “taking care of little brother” to my list of daily duties.
When Yianni, age 11, is home from school because of frigid temperatures and that lovely mixture of ice and snow, I am left to deal with his preteen angst (and odor) while the paren-tals are away at work.
In spite of my personal complex with snow days, I must say that I was more than pleased when I heard Zionsville Community School Superintendent Dr. Scott Robison’s words on how Zionsville schools hope to make up for lost time in the classroom.
Robison said that he will likely recommend that the ZCS Board of Trustees petition the Indiana Department of Education in order to make up snow days via electronic learning.
Electronic learning, or E-Days, implies that students would be assigned homework or readings to complete over the course of a week, from the comfort of home. They would use their laptops to complete their work, and also have school hours to contact their teach-ers with questions.
If the schools begin implementing E-Days in March or April, this would allow students to be released for summer vacation before the first of June.
Parents and students everywhere will leap for joy if they are told that family travel or summer camps will not be disturbed.
And truly, not even this big sister who hates it when her little brother is home from school, would want to shorten summer break. After all, summer break is nearly as sacred as a snow day!
Robison will finalize his recommendation for the board and present it at the Feb. 24 meeting.

As I approach my seven-year anniversary with Current, I’ve been revisiting some of my most “famous” columns. Here’s the one that forever
changed my husband’s identity.Pardon me, but my Kentucky is
showing. One night, you see, as I lay in bed with my sound machine at half blast, I heard what sounded like a small critter shuffling behind me. Squirrel in the chimney, I thought, and cranked the noise to “Prop Plane.” Moments later, the scratching shifted, and I determined it was coming from directly above my head, from the attic. The weird clawing continued, so I went to get my husband (who I will hereinafter call “Doo” in reference to Loretta Lynn’s husband).
Doo came upstairs and confirmed that some-thing was definitely up there, but felt there was no need to fret. I eventually fell asleep, but at 4:30 a.m., I awoke to more creepy pawing. Dang nabbit! When I went outside to take a gander, I couldn’t see anything at first. Then a circular shape with two pointy ears came into focus, daring me to do something about his uninvited presence. Naturally, I hightailed it back to safety.
At first light, Doo climbed up to attic with a broom and came face-to-face with our perp, a big mother of a raccoon. Doo ordered me outside; he would attempt to scare the varmint out onto the roof. No good. The ‘coon hunkered down
Showing our Kentucky sidebetween the joists. “I’ll be back,” Doo shouted as he sped off in the truck, covered in insulation and sweat.
Minutes later Doo returned, now armed with a pellet gun. He again entered the attic, ready to go all Deliverance on the critter. Out on the front yard, I heard Pop! Pop!, and then Doo hollerin’ “I got him!” Though he couldn’t find a body, we proudly claimed success.
At 11:30 pm, however, our worst nightmare was confirmed. The Bourne Raccoon was alive! Scratch, scratch, shuffle, scratch. With the kids asleep, Doo grabbed his gun and headed into the fray once more, while I sprinted outside. Pop! Pop, pop, pop. Silence. Then Doo came bound-ing out the door in nothing but a pair of cut-off shorts, yellin’ that he’d nailed the sucker, while I stood barefoot in a bathrobe.
How Butcher Holler was this scene? Me and Doo, half-naked at midnight, trying to kill a ‘coon with a shotgun? All that was missing was a baby on the hip! A big fat apology to neighbors who were lured to their windows by our backwoods shenanigans. We promise to keep our Kentucky better hidden next time. Peace out, y’all.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
Something curious is happening to me. I hope it’s nothing to be too concerned about. I’m not
napping as much as I used to. For most of my life, if I was on the couch watching a TV show, I’d nod
off within five minutes. But a couple of weeks back, I made it through the entire Super Bowl wide awake. Not even Peyton Manning can say that.
This past month I did not take a single nap. Even the dog wondered what happened to our siesta. He kept following me around the house as if to say, “Hey, I’m 80 in dog years. It’s almost 2 p.m. Let’s stretch out and do this.”
Napping has never been a problem. When I was a high school teacher, I actually fell asleep in class while proctoring a statewide exam. The kids were very polite. “I hope we didn’t disturb you yesterday, Mr. Wolfsie,” said one of my stu-dents. “We tried to cheat as quietly as we could.”
Until recently, I could take a quick snooze while having dinner with friends, sitting at red lights, waiting for my wife to put on makeup, let-ting the dog relieve himself, and waiting at fast food drive-up windows and in checkout lines. Anywhere.
Mary Ellen has never quite understood the val-ue of a nap. Personally, I think women are afraid they’re going to miss something. Like a sale, or a beautiful sunset, or the plot of a movie. Men don’t

care about stuff like this. My inability to nap re-cently came up during my recent annual physical, but there was some confusion in the conversa-tion. “How are you sleeping?” asked Dr. Ross
“It’s been rough,” I told him. “Sometimes I’m awake for 8 or 10 hours in a row.”
“TEN HOURS?” he gasped. “We need to do some testing. How long has this been going on?”
“Several months.”“Do you just toss and turn in bed?”“Well, I’m not in bed. That’s the problem. I’m
out driving the car, watching the news or cook-ing. Sometimes I’m in the garage operating heavy machinery.”
“This is very troubling, Dick. So you don’t sleep all night?
“No, I sleep great at night. It’s all day that I can’t sleep.”
Dr. Ross was very helpful once I straightened out the misunderstanding. He said I had to ac-cept that men experience changes in their bodily rhythms as they mature. “I want you to go home this afternoon and really think about that,” he said. I told him I’d have to sleep on it. Which meant, of course, it would have to wait until that night.

T H I s W e e kSymphony from Israel to stop in Carmel during tour
Boguslaw Dawidow of Poland will conduct the Haifa Symphony Orchestra during its performance at the Palladium on Feb. 19. (submitted photo)

Being in the middle of a 38-concert tour might seem like a heavy load for an orchestra
conductor to undertake, but Bogu-slaw Dawidow is used to the rigors of touring and international travel
for the sake of music.In fact, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra that
the Polish native will conduct in a concert at the Palladium Feb. 19 is just one of five orchestras he’s involved with on four continents.
In addition to being principal guest conductor of this orchestra from northern Israel, Dawidow (pronounced “DAH-vee-doff”) continues to direct the Chopin Chamber Orchestra he founded in Krakow, Poland, in the 1980s. He also holds the post of principal guest conductor with the Bo-gotá (Colómbia) Symphony Orchestra.
All that, plus regular work with orchestras in Palermo, Italy, and South Korea, makes for what could well be an exhausting schedule for a 60-year-old.
“I don’t feel it,” Dawidow said about his age, as he prepared to travel to Elmira, N.Y., last week.
His wife is accompanying him on this tour, as she does on most of his travels.
“If you love this, you don’t feel your age,” he said. “I was born to be on the stage and I feel born again whenever I go onstage.”
The main difficulty is adjusting to time-zone changes, he admitted in a telephone interview.
“But if music is your life, you do everything you have to do to get into the music,” he said.
His formative musical studies focused on conducting in his native Poland, but his career focus blossomed significantly in the early 1980s when he worked with and observed Leonard Bernstein in Vienna over seven to eight months. In the twilight of his career, Bernstein was giv-ing concerts and making recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic.
“He just showed me that these big guys are normal guys,” Dawidow said. “You can talk with them. And you can see how they work. That was something that can be the best in a young conductor’s experience. “
As for Bernstein’s influence on him, Dawidow said, “He has proved to me the value of looking for the simplicity in music. In performing mu-sic, in dealing with all the people involved, you keep in mind that everything starts from the classics.”
Dawidow has emphasized known master-works he loves in the programs he’s leading on the current tour. The Carmel audience will hear the overture to “Euryanthe” by Carl Maria von Weber; Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7
in A major; and with soloist Roman Rabinovich, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor.
Audiences respond well to music they are likely to be familiar with, Dawidow said, and bringing programs consisting largely of well-known compositions allows them to assess the quality of an orchestra they are unlikely to know.
Israeli pianist Rabinovich will be the soloist in 20 of the Haifa orchestra’s U.S. concerts. At other stops he will play concertos by Beethoven and Rachmaninoff. The ensemble has another soloist on hand for the remainder of the con-certs: violist Avshalom Sarid, who will be fea-
tured in a contemporary concerto by a fellow Israeli.
Formed in 1950, the Haifa Symphony Orches-tra offers a varied musical palette to audiences at its home base in northern Israel. It has big-band and opera affiliates, a Jewish music series, extensive children’s concerts and an education-al component, in addition to its classical season. This is its first American tour.
Let your spirits soar – The Indiana Wind Sym-phony presents a new show called “By Air or by
Sea.” Conductor Charles Conrad invites listeners to venture onto the high seas and soar through
the open skies with music of the symphony as their vessel. The inspiring performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Palladium in Carmel. Tickets start at $20. For more information, call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperform-ingarts.org.

Play tackles fading WASP culture
THeATre
By Terri Spilmam • [email protected]
Imagine if a dining room table handed down from generation to generation could tell stories
about all the holidays, meals, life-changing events and con-versations that occurred while
gathered around it. Carmel’s newest theater group, Carmel The-
atre Company, will be presenting A.R. Gurney’s play “The Dining Room” which is written around that very idea.
Director Ken Klingenmeier has cast three men and three women who play a total of 58 charac-ters of all ages as “The Dining Room” travels its course through time.
“The play is a study of Americans, primarily White Anglo Saxon Protestants who make up a large cross-section of our country,” Klingenmeier said. “It is about what that cross-section values both materialistically and emotionally.”
The play was first presented in 1982, but its themes of clinging to tradition still resonate today.
The cast shares the duties of the multiple characters in 18 short scenes that take place in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household. Each vignette portrays a different occasion and life circumstance among a family such as a fa-ther/son interaction on grammar and politics, the exposure of a mother’s infidelity, a senile grand-

HEAVY METALIt’s a great look, when it’s done right. Other times, a metallic eye shadow can look flaky, or even too outdated. Instead of passing on this trend all together, though, take our advice for applying the perfect metal shade for you.Step One - Sweep the shadow of your choice across your lids, being sure to stay below the brow bones.Step Two - Lightly line your eyes with a black eye pencil. Use more pressure at the outer corners to really make eyes pop.Step Three - Brighten up the inner corners by dabbing a lighter shadow.For more makeup tips and trends, visit one of Salon 01’s estheticians!

COLOR CODING: WHICH SHADE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?Are you considering switching up your shade for spring? Here are a few tips to keep hair color transition natural, beautiful, and worry-free. Enlist a Trained ProfessionalAlways get your color done by a professional. It can be hard to apply product evenly throughout hair and even harder to judge processing time when your experience in color is limited. Take the fuss and mess out of at-home dyeing by scheduling your appointment with one of our stylists at Salon 01. Our unique color bar and personal consultations will make you feel right at home- without the unwanted cleanup! If you’re thinking blonde…If you were blonde as a child or if you had a lighter hue that was blonde by summer’s end you may have the skin tone to pull off those light locks. Think about regular maintenance, though. Blonde hair must be taken care of and touched up more frequently, depending on the shade of your natural hair color. If you’re thinking red…Almost anyone can pull off red hair. The trick is in the specific hue of red. To find a red that fits perfectly with your skin tone, have a personalized consultation with one of our Salon 01 stylists! They will formulate a red individually for you. If you’re thinking brunette…Typically, if you are not naturally blonde, brown hair upkeep is fairly easy. This is a good choice for people that would rather not spend too much time fussing over colored hair. A tip from Marie Claire {To maximize the impact of your chocolaty color, go deeper and monotone if your hair is nearly all one length. If it's shorter or very layered, make the ends slightly lighter, and weave in high- and lowlights to emphasize the texture of the cut. }
EXTENSIONS: ARE THEY RIGHT FOR YOU?Thinking long hair could be right for you?Salon 01 has a Dream Team made up of specially trained stylists in HairDreams hair extensions.

Commentary by Dr. Jeffery Schoonover
Are you unhappy with your legs’ appearance? Do you avoid wearing clothing that shows your
legs? Are you experiencing swelling and discomfort in your legs? Do you have a network of spider veins crawl-
ing across your legs? Do you have bulging, twisted veins? This summer you can grab your shorts or bathing suit and enjoy the summer sun.
When we have varicose vein disease, valves in our legs do not work properly and allow some of the venous blood to flow backward and pool in our legs, resulting in bulging veins and symptoms such as pain, swelling, tiredness or redness. If an individual has bulging veins or is suffering from discomfort, treatment may be required to relieve symptoms. Spider veins might not always cause discomfort, but can be a cosmetic concern. Diagnostic ultrasound vein mapping should be performed to determine the abnormal areas of blood flow in both legs. With that information, a comprehensive plan of treat-ment can be determined.
Endovenous laser treatment is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. Using ul-trasound guidance, a small laser fiber is inserted
Don’t hide your legs this summerthrough the skin into the varicosed vein. Laser energy is delivered inside the vein, which causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. Once that vein is closed, the blood reroutes to other healthy veins. This procedure is done in-office under local anesthetic. It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Fol-lowing the procedure, patients wear a compres-sion stocking on the treated leg. Most patients return to work within a day or two; many return to work the same day. EVLT may also be accom-panied by sclerotherapy, which is a straightfor-ward strategy to treat any residual, problematic veins. This procedure involves using a very small needle to inject a solution into the veins, which cause them to collapse and disappear.
Beyond the obvious health benefits of treat-ment is the legs’ improved appearance. If you are experiencing symptoms of varicose veins or are bothered by your legs’ cosmetic appearance, a consultation is important. Treatment is easy and will dramatically improve your quality of life.

Commentary by Don Knebel
Egypt’s larger-than-life pyramids continue to generate speculation about their origins, rang-
ing from the extraterrestrial to the supernatural. Even the Egyptians once posited a divine explanation.
The stepped pyramid at Saqqara shows that the real story is closer to Earth.
Believing that souls live on after death, Egyptians initially buried their important dead and their pos-sessions in underground tombs covered by “masta-bas.” Mastabas, made first of mud bricks and then of stones, were solid, flat-topped structures up to 30 feet high with gradually sloping sides. A passage to a special chamber inside allowed priests and family members to bring offerings to the person buried below for use in the afterlife.
In about 2650 B.C., Imhotep, the palace archi-tect of Pharaoh Djoser, came up with a new idea for his boss’s tomb at Saqqara, the burial ground serving the capital at Memphis. He covered the underground tomb with six stacked mastabas of diminishing size, creating a stepped pyramid made entirely of stone. For designing what was then the largest stone structure ever built, Imho-tep was later worshipped as a god.
Seeing the stepped pyramid, Pharaoh Snefru
‘The Pyramids’ Stepping-stones’
TrAvel

ordered that his pyramid eliminate the steps and support his tomb above the ground so it would be closer to the sun god. About two-thirds of the way to the apex, engineers had to reduce the angle of inclination from 55 to 43 degrees to eliminate stability problems created by the internal tomb chamber. The result was the so-called “bent pyramid.” On the next try, Snefru’s engineers started with a 43-degree angle and succeeded in creating the first “true pyramid,” with smooth sides and a constant angle. This so-called “red pyramid” may contain still-secret passages leading to the undiscovered mummy of Snefru. Using Snefru’s model, his son Khufu took the pyramid-building art to its pinnacle in the Great Pyramid of Giza, still the most massive structure ever built.
No little green men, no magical powers, no unsolvable mysteries. Egypt’s pyramid builders drew on past successes, learned from earlier mistakes and achieved lasting greatness. That is the real secret of the pyramids.

Commentary by Mark Wade
Under current IRS rules, every person holding money in one or more retirement accounts must
begin withdrawing some of that money each year starting in the year he turns age 70½.
This may seem like a long time from now based upon your current age, but the planning for this required distribution from these ac-counts should begin years before that date.
If you have accumulated a large sum of money in your retirement accounts, you might even want to begin this process as early as age 50. That’s because it’s possible that you have too much money in your qualified accounts, which could cause a tax issue during retirement.
Not taking the required minimum payout could cause a penalty of half the amount you should have removed, but did not remove, from your accounts.
Part of this puzzle is that you may have tax liability during retirement if your income from dividends, other income or IRA withdrawals, ex-ceeds $24,000 per year.
The concern here is that tax rates in later years will be higher than they are today. Predict-ing future tax rates is impossible. Given the na-tional debt today, this is a very real possibility.
To reduce this tax liability in retirement, it may be wise to begin withdrawing funds from your qualified accounts long before you reach the required distribution.
A person who has more than $300,000 in
qualified money at age 50 should see a financial advisor to calculate what the expected required distribution would be at age 70½. Remember that after 20 years of investing, your $300,000 could easily become $600,000 or even well over $1 mil-lion if you made wise investment decisions.
If, for example, you have $600,000 sitting in your accounts at age 70, you would be required to withdraw $21,897 in the first year of distribu-tion. This might not be a big deal unless your growth on that account exceeds the minimum distribution.
Those of you who were brave enough to be in the stock market the past 24 months probably made a return that could be in the range of 5 to 35 percent. If your money was sitting in a sav-ings account at the bank, your return was prob-ably less than 1 percent.
At age 76, if you still have $600,000 in quali-fied money, your minimum distribution would be $27,272. This would put you into a taxable situation under current rules. Your growth each year would require you to continue to withdraw increasing amounts of money, increasing your tax liability.
For this reason, some individuals will need to begin withdrawing funds from their accounts at a much earlier age. You can make these with-drawals prior to age 59½ without penalty.
As stated earlier, always discuss these issues with a financial advisor before taking any action.

Toyota to recall Prius cars for software defect - Toyota issued a recall covering the third-generation Prius cars due to a programming glitch in their hybrid system. Toy-ota said the problem is in the software used to control the boost converter in a module that is part of the hybrid system. “The setting of the software could cause higher thermal stress in certain transistors within the booster converter, and these transistors could deform or become damaged as a result,” Toyota said. “This will result in various warning lights being illuminated, and will prob-ably cause the vehicle to enter a failsafe mode.” The cars could be driven but with reduced driving power, and in limited cases, the hybrid system could shut down, caus-ing the vehicle to stop, possibly while it is being driven, Toyota said.

Long-term care now priced by gender - Deciding to buy long-term-care insurance is a big financial commitment — even more so if you are a woman. Last year, Genworth Financial and other big insurance com-panies adopted gender-distinct rates for long-term care insurance — which means that if you are a woman, you will now pay more than a man for the same coverage. Long-term care insurance pays for help with daily activities such as bathing and dressing if you can no longer do them yourself. Long-term care insurers said they adopted gender-based premiums to reflect the reality that women tend to live longer than men and are more likely to use benefits. Women own about 58 percent of policies, Genworth said, but account for nearly 67 percent of all claims. The effect is that women will now pay several hundred dollars more a year in long-term care pre-miums than a man would for a comparable policy. SOURCE: New York Times

Commentary by Larry Greene
Existing kitchen: This home located on a secluded lot overlooking Morse Reservoir was
no longer suited to the way the home-owner lived. “I began making the walk-out
basement more of my living space. The kitchen there was closed and non-functional. I wanted to create a comfortable and cozy space, a place where you want to come in and sit down.”
Hickory cabinets: The design reflected the natural surroundings. “The designer suggested natural hickory cabinets,” stated the owner. “I didn’t want a contemporary or modern look.” The cabinets gave the natural farmhouse feel the owner was looking for. The existing drywall bulkheads were removed, allowing for a more open feel. New exhaust fan ductwork was con-cealed in the ceiling for the new microwave.
Island as contrast: To create a contrast for the natural cabinetry, the island is stained in an espresso finish. Black Pearl granite in a leather finish also provides contrast from the White Persia granite on the perimeter cabine-try. Seating for four makes the island the true center of the kitchen.
Farmhouse look: The farmhouse look was continued in the details as well. “I have always wanted a farmhouse sink,” stated the home-
