‘IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BLING!’ Three women team up to create fashionable and feminine sportswear that shows their team spirit.

Story and Photo By Stephanie C. Curtis For Current In Carmel

A

passion for fashion and the desire to design football jerseys with a flattering fit kicked off an idea for two Carmel moms. They caught the ball, ran with it, and created JSK Apparel, a line of stylish, sophisticated, figure-flattering sportswear detailed with a little bling.

“We’re all big sports fans,” said Jeanine Stewart, one of three founding partners of JSK Apparel. “We were bored with the few options available, like over-sized men’s jerseys.”

Stewart often attends ballgames with her friends and JSK partners, Carmel mom Kelly Carlile and Sherry Compton, who lives in the Geist area.

“We always complained that we had nothing fun to wear,” Carlile said. “Jeanine started adding sequins and beads to a football jersey and that became the prototype for our product.”

After months of fumbling with the idea of creating chic fan wear for women, they determined there was a market for their jazzed-up jerseys and formed a partnership in March 2005.

“Our goal was to offer the female sports enthusiast a fashionable, great fitting product to wear while supporting their favorite team,” Stewart said.

As the 40-something ladies tackled their new business venture, they realized transforming a concept into reality can be challenging and frustrating. They approached one cut-andsew operation after another, and were turned away by manufacturers in New York City and Los Angeles.

“Going through the process was eye-opening,” Carlile said. “We could not find anyone who wanted to make the jerseys. We were told it was too labor intensive and that we should take it overseas.”

The JSK team was adamant about fabricating American-made fashions. Despite multiple rejections, they were not willing to give up.

That perseverance led them to a manufacturer in their own end zone, Coffield & Company, based in Indianapolis.

According to Diana Baisa, president of Coffield & Company, her company rarely talks with upstarts anymore. “Everyone thinks they have a great idea, but they are unprepared and have a lousy business plan,” said Baisa.

“Jeanine had done her homework and was very prepared.”

Securing a manufacturer was akin to a first down. The young apparel company was off and running but still had a long way to go.

According to Carlile, the group was able to score some great coaching from her dad, Dave Cremeans, an experienced retailer, as well as attorneys, accountants and friends who own businesses.

Not all new companies have access to quality advice, so the U.S. Small Business Administration is a key resource for upstarts. According to the SBA, small businesses create most of the nation’s new jobs, and they bring dynamic ideas, innovative services and new products to the marketplace.

JSK Apparel partners emphasize how important it is to learn as much as you can

initial bumps,” Stewart said.

“There is an assumption that most small businesses fail within the first year, but that’s just not true,” said Rhonda Crouch, public information officer, SBA Indiana District Office.

“Sixty-six percent of new businesses survive the first two years and 44 percent succeed for at least four years.”

“You have to believe in your idea no matter what anyone says,” Carlile said.

And believe they have. The original line of fashion jerseys has expanded to include halter tops, T-shirts and ball caps.

“Finally something cute to wear to the games,” said Nancy Curless, “Our goal was to offer the sporting a sparkling IU T-shirt and female sports enthusiast coordinating baseball hat. a fashionable, great-fitting JSK customer Jill product to wear while Schuman said, “I’m all about supporting their favorite team.” the bling.”

Using what Stewart calls about the industry you are targeting. Stewart “guerilla marketing,” JSK Apparel was able to admits although she has a passion for fashion, line up a long list of boutiques that agreed entering into the business of manufacturing to sell their glitzy product. In addition, JSK and marketing ladies apparel is a whole differnegotiated collegiate licensing deals adding ent ballgame. their bling to sportswear bearing the logos of “You need patience to get through the Notre Dame, Purdue, Indiana University and

University of Kentucky and the items are sold on campus and online at www.jskapparel.com.

“We continue to look at the collegiate level for new opportunities,” Stewart said. “And we are in talks with two NBA teams that will go unnamed at this time.”

Both Stewart and Carlile agree the most rewarding thing about their business is seeing someone they don’t know wear their designs.

“It’s so cool to think that someone likes our product enough to buy it with their hardearned money,” Carlile said.

The JSK team hasn’t made a touchdown yet as every dime they make goes back into the company to pay for inventory, raw goods and licensing. But those first downs keep coming, the company keeps growing, and female sports fans are finding fun flashy fashions to wear when rooting for their favorite team.

OUR TAKES It is our position that disproportionate harm goes with disproportionate benefit. As you read this, your state General Assembly is considering scores of bills designed to fix the property tax “crisis” created by their own poor action (both via inaction and mistake). Many of these efforts include special provisions to rescue our neighbor to the south from increases in some cases of several hundred percent. We certainly understand the furor of the rank and file.

That said, the taxing system of Indiana is based, ostensibly, on the belief that we all pay based on the value of the properties we own.

If the value of that property decreases, we can

and should apply to have our tax burden reduced. If the value goes up, we should expect to pay more. As the value of homes in our state’s capital have skyrocketed over these past several years (try to buy a Meridian Street home for less than $1 million), these taxpayers have not been paying their fair share. Now, Sen. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, and others are attempting to give these folks a break – effectively pushing their responsibility to other taxpayers – all of us. Driving taxes up hundreds of percent in one year is wrong. But so is shifting the responsibility of taxes from one citizen to another. Don’t do it.

BLING AND BIMBOS It is our position that our Indiana Pacers need to focus on internal self-improvement (not the field goal type, but the human kind). News of the juvenile and debauched behavior of the team seems to reach all corners of this media-infused globe. So much so that Pacer honchos have hired none other than the venerable Jim Morris to try to get the perception of the team back on track. But we’d argue that more than the perception is out of whack. We’re not suggesting that the team’s management isn’t embarrassed by the shenanigans or even that they are not trying to get the players to act like something

other than 20-something gazillionaires with little or no oversight. But at the end of the day, these young men need something that money and freedom cannot buy.

Follow the widely respected head coach of the Super Bowl championship Colts, Tony Dungy, who leads his team in the way he lives his life – in prayer and service. Dungy’s All Pro Dad project (www.allprodad.com) is a national model. In a world of bling and bimbos, this is a man who lives with unashamed faith. For the Pacers, heart, not money, is the cure.

WHAT’S YOUR DEEP, DARK SECRET?

SOCKS IS STILL IN THE RACE

Tuesday, January 15, 2008

4

Don’t most of us have something within (often we believe a deep, dark secret from friends and family) that if others knew would invariably destroy all that we are and have become? Or at least we think that it would. Consider the PTO mom who really doesn’t like kids, or teachers, or the raucous nature of an elementary school lunchroom. Or the successful attorney who really hates the practice of law, clients or partners. But fear, the pressures and TERRY expectations of those ANKER around us, and our own insecurities keep us from ever exploring other ways that we might be.

In fact, so many of us think that we are broken that we dedicate millions of dollars and billions of hours to self-improvement. If we are told we are angry, there is a book to fix it.

If plump, we must get thin. If our kids aren’t playing varsity sports, we should be doing something to get them there. Is there really a cure for everything that ails us? And even if Dr. Phil has a fix, do we really want it?

My goblins include a compulsiveness and expectation level that is hard to achieve. As things stack up or become out of place, my blood pressure goes up with each incorrect element. Sometimes, I worry that I may be fundamentally incompatible with the life that I’m living; it’s the full catastrophe – active young boys, a house and multiple business and not-for-profit interests. My life often is anything but serene.

And caring about every detail of even the details can lead to great unhappiness. Last week the garage door didn’t work, and that really sucked. It wasn’t a world crisis, but life

was out of order. A rushed service call, two new parts and a 20-minute visit later, and life was again good. People say that I should learn to let go of this stuff. But then again, the sleepless nights working on some business idea, improved strategy or more-perfect mousetrap have led to some of the better moments of my life. How do we fix ourselves at least enough to be able to live in the same world as those around us and yet not eliminate the quirks and peculiarities that make us unique?

For me, it is like this: I like quiet. I like to live like an adult. Certainly family life is my chosen path and it greatly enriches, but occasional quiet is required for my sanity. Rather than feel guilty that I need it, we have reading time. We all sit with a book for 20 or 30 minutes and it changes my mood and my life.

Then we are off again – Boy Scouts, shouting and wrestling friends down the hall and long lists of honey-dos. But for a moment, I am indulging who I am and what I need – without apology or guilt.

How do we hang onto something that gives us so much strength (and so clearly defines who we are) without giving up ourselves?

For me, it involves tailoring my life to fit. We realize my need for quiet by putting it into our lives in a measured and intentional way.

The family doesn’t always love it, but they accommodate it much like they accommodate me and much like I accommodate them. And, it is good.

So, the PTO is not for everyone – some fine parents don’t love sitting in the lunchroom with scores of other people’s kids. And the practice of law isn’t always Hollywood.

Demanding a little room and understanding is in order. Air out those secrets. At the end of the day, it makes it a little easier for all of us.

“Mom, I’m sick. My throat hurts and I’m freezing.” (Ah, the common cold. They chose wisely.)

“What? Come over here and let me take your temperature. Crunch, 101. No problem, a couple doses of Motrin and you’ll be good to go.” You continue packing your overnight bag, assuming your night is still on.

Later that evening, your child has not responded to the meds and has now developed a nasty-looking rash. You consider a cover-up with either foundation or full-body clothing and even try bribing him with a Nintendo DS if he’ll pretend to be healthy. ( You’ve waited so long for this night!) Then his accomplices, Siblings B & C, intervene, claiming sanctuary with the Geneva Code of Parenting, which clearly states that all children must be 24-hour fever and spot free before leaving them with a proxy-parent.

COLTS CHAPLAIN BRINGS MESSAGE TO CARMEL

I

t’s a new year, and a lot of people have their minds made up to make 2008 different by jumping on the self-improvement bandwagon. If you are like me, sometimes you need a little boost to help you stay on track. Books might be helpful, but better yet, a member of the Indianapolis Colts organization will be in Carmel offering advice and encouragement.

Carmel United Methodist Church will host Ken Johnson at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 23.

CUMC is at the corner of Range Line Road and 126th Street. Ken is the energetic and inspirational man — JEFF the size of a football WORRELL player himself — who CarmelCan! walks the Colts sidelines at every game as the team chaplain. His topic for the evening will be, “Hit it Again,” a message the professional athletes he ministers

Ken Johnson

to are used to hearing. “Hit it Again” deals mainly with doing the things we need to do over and over again and not becoming complacent with the past or the status quo.

When you meet Ken you can tell his previous life included athletics. He was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Dallas. He was a three-sport high school athlete and went on to earn a football scholarship at the University

5

of Tulsa. After a career-ending knee injury, he became a police officer working primarily in the inner city, experiencing the problems and challenges of modern society.

In 1989, he relocated to Indianapolis to take a position with Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Shortly thereafter, he became the Protestant chaplain of the Indianapolis Colts, attending to the needs of the team, a position he still holds today.

The event is free to the public. Richard Carriger, chairman of the CUMC committee responsible for missions, promises an evening that is powerful, entertaining and uplifting to both young and old. Carriger says: “Ken is deep and sincere. … I have heard him speak before and he takes anyone showing apathy and immediately turns them into people of action.”

’ve come up with an addendum to my theory that children are in a constant state of war with their parents. While these vertically challenged terrorists still rely heavily on biological, chemical and psychological warfare, they’ve begun honing another tactic that, when combined with sophisticated code-breaking techniques, is proving to be just as effective in crushing the adult spirit.

I’m speaking, of course, of when they use illness or injury to their advantage, aka “suicide bombing,” after deciphering secret parental plans. Here’s how it works: First, they employ espionage skills to determine optimum timing and maximum impact for the bomber. Let’s say you are planning an overnight get-away, sans children. When they were young, you could openly discuss it in front of them without consequences. Now however, they clearly understand the words “downtown rendezvous” and “Mrs. Smell E. Oldlady can baby-sit.”

Ever a step ahead but a bit slow on the uptake, you resort to speaking in Spanish, forgetting that as highly trained terrorists, they’ve received multi-lingual instruction since first grade. Operation “Break Parents” is now in full swing and you haven’t got a clue.

Next the kids gather at an undisclosed location and elect the “victim,” comforting

THE MASS TRANSIT MESS

ass transit for Central Indiana is a huge topic these days. My last interview with Carmel’s John Schuler enlightened me a great deal on this issue. John serves as chairman of the Indianapolis Chamber’s Transportation, Infrastructure and Environmental Committee. He’s also on the board of JANUS, which not only serves Hamilton County’s handicapped but also runs Hamilton County Express, which is the closest thing we have to mass transit county-wide presently.

John hopes to some day parlay this DANNY “perfect storm” of O’MALIA community service into something that might bring central Indiana together on the mass transit issue.

“All the transit systems are county-wide and are silos,” John explained. For instance, a Delaware County resident wishing to use the system to ride to downtown Indianapolis can only get as far as the Madison County line. Then the person has to get on another bus. At the Hamilton county line, another bus. And yet another bus at the Marion County line. Making the process worse, these separate lines don’t run by

routes but by APPOINTMENT. JANUS transports its clients throughout both Hamilton and Tipton counties to its facility in Noblesville (1,103 rides per month for 60 individuals). It uses four buses for this service and has been providing this service since 1979.

With “10 little buses, two of which have more than 200,000 miles on them,” JANUS is currently transporting 2,112 riders per month around Hamilton County monthly — all of them “on demand” (by appointment). When the service started two years ago, the number was 815. That’s a almost a 200 percent increase — all by word of mouth — and all in spite of not having routes!

All these county-wide programs are subsidized by federal, state and local governments. A round trip from Hamilton County to downtown Indy (with one bus transfer) only costs an individual $6. Fishers has a more heavily subsidized pilot program with IndyGo AND actually runs routes for $4 round trip.

If you want to schedule a bus ride WITHIN Hamilton County, your option is to call 773.2699 to schedule your ride. John Schuler firmly believes we need to do better long-term.

And he’s committed to helping the Indy Chamber, IndyGo and JANUS help the Metro Indy area out of its “mass transit blues” before the price of gas, not to mention gridlock and possible environmental damage, make us all long for the old days of “trackless trolleys.”

The Time of the Uprooted

By Elie Wiesel

Reviewed by Katie Buck CCPL Readers’ Advisory Librarian

In this thought-provoking novel, Elie Wiesel examines the roles of history, memory and identity in our lives. These themes are reflected in the book’s structure as the main character’s memories overlap with the present to create a sense of uncertainty and upheaval.

This story follows the pensive and stoic Gamaliel as he reflects on his life between visits to an unknown dying woman. Gamaliel, a Czech Jew who was made stateless by the horrors of World War II, takes some comfort in the manuscript he will never finish and in his circle of refugee friends who understand his misery.

He opened one of the doors, and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished.

BECKY KAPSALIS They were holding Ask YiaYia spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and were able to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.

God told the holy man, “You have seen misery and suffering. That is hell.”

They went to the next room and opened the door. Exactly the same as the first one (round table, large pot of stew, people equipped with the same long-handled spoons) only these people were well fed, plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, “I don’t understand.”

“It’s simple,” God said. It requires one skill. The well-fed people have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.”

What does this have to do with effective parenting? For starters, when we feed our children with sound values, high morals and inspired logic we are nourishing their selfworth. When our children see us willingly sharing our bounty with them and others, they learn to be less self-serving. When our children experience how good it feels to share, they become inspired to do good things for others. Effective parenting comes into play when we see the results of the decisions our children make. That’s when we know if we’ve nourished our children and shown them a slice of heaven!

Hugs!

DONATING IS AN INVESTMENT. WHAT’S YOUR RETURN?

W

hen you decide to contribute or donate money or time to a charity or cause, do you consider your gift an investment?

Do you weigh your alternatives in the context of which gift provides the highest return on your investment (ROI)? Well, it’s a new year and time for a new term, introducing “Donor ROI.” The term Donor ROI considers the supporter (or donor) in a specific cause as an investor in their work. It implies that a donor has some exDAVID CAIN pectation for a return On Marketing on that investment.

Whether it is a local hospital, a national charity, or your church, your support (financial or otherwise) is really an investment.

How do you measure the Donor ROI? Generally, it is based on three components. Specifically, your Donor ROI is a combination of (1) the tangible measurement of your impact on the charity or cause, (2) your investment’s

relevance to the lives of real people, and, finally, (3) personal recognition for the gift.

Get these three things right and people will support your cause and consider the Donor ROI high enough to make the investment.

Most people seeking supporters for a specific cause or charity generally evangelize the emotional reasons for giving. While this is effective, it really only addresses the second component of the total Donor ROI. Rather than reveling in the relevance the contribution or support has on the lives of the people that need the support, why not consider the gift an overall investment in the cause?

So the next time your children are going door-to-door selling trash bags, popcorn, or wrapping paper for their school or band, consider the people they meet as potential investors. If the kids can demonstrate all three components of the Donor ROI during the selling process, they are sure to win the grand prize.

ver the course of a recent weekend, I had a chance to spend time with three of my good friends – Luke, Terry and Daniel. Three different people, all great in different ways. It was absolutely delightful – I had a blast talking with them about everything from family to sports to politics to faith. Coincidentally, my wife asked me the other day if the people I spend time with were “uplifting.” When I asked her to expand on that, she commented that when women get together, the talk often seems to focus on problems, issues, and the half of

Do you spend time with people who are uplifting? the glass that isn’t full. Hey…maybe Danielle Wilson should do a piece on that…

That question started a great conversation.

My answer to her question is an emphatic “yes.” The people that I choose to spend time with are absolutely uplifting. It’s one of the big reasons I am drawn to them. At work, I interact with lots of folks on a daily basis — some (many?) of them certainly who try to suck the life out of you. However, to the extent that I can control my interactions, I am

always looking for people who energize me. Conversely, I really try to be a person who energizes others.

Luke is young, smart, and has his whole life ahead of him. He has huge dreams and loves to talk about the promise that the future holds. Terry is KENT BURNS an uber-connector of On Success people and has many successful business interests. Daniel is my biggest fan and always has an uplifting word for me. These guys fill my bucket. I shared with my wife that she should focus on spending more time with people who fill her bucket.

How about you? Who in your life is filling your bucket?

They are DuWop Liptones in Cadence ($18, beauty.com); Benefit D’finer D’liner ($18, benefitcosmetics. com); Shisedo The Makeup Automatici Lip Crayon in Beige ($22, sephora.com); Jemma Kidd Make Up School Shape & Shade in Neutral ($22, bergdorfgoodman. com); and Max Factor High Definition in Mauve Absolute ($5, drugstore.com).

The foundation World’s Healthiest Foods ranked flax seed, walnuts and wild salmon as excellent sources. Farm-raised salmon has a fraction of the omegas resulting from the unnatural, human-created growing environment oozing with farm chemical run-off and antibiotics. I’m drooling. Regarding fish, you’ll get about 2 grams from every 4-ounce serving of Chinook salmon; 0.6 grams from the same serving of halibut; and 0.4 grams from tuna, hold the mercury, please.

Other types of foods that are vital to mention as omega 3 boosters: winter squash, hemp seeds, chia seeds, kale, sprouts and olive oil.

A cup of winter squash provides approximately 0.3 grams. Three ounces of extra virgin olive oil is about 0.2 grams. Don’t fry with Extra Virgin olive oil as you’ll damage the omega 3s and convert the elixir to a trans-fat. Two tablespoons of ground up flaxseeds contain 3.5 grams of omega 3 fats, while a 4-ounce piece of salmon contains 1.5 grams of omega 3 fats. A 4-ounce serving of jiggly tofu contains 0.4 grams of omega 3s.

Vegetarians relying on alpha-linolenic acid as their only source of omega 3 fatty acids should boost their consumption of ALA-rich foods accordingly to supply adequate produc-

Researchers looked at insurance pay-outs for dental fillings by age in areas with and without fluoridated water.

veryone has a right to feel good. Americans are discovering that every food on the blue planet leaves its effects long after it has left the body. Foods alter, transform and determine how our Earth Suit operates.

As you already know from reading any newspaper or magazine, Americans are seeking their favorite source of healthy essential omega 3 fatty acids.

American adults get less than 1 gram of omega 3 fatty acids per day. The National Institutes of Health recommends that we consume at least 2 percent of their total daily calories as omega 3 fats. A 2,000-calorie-a-day diet would require 4 grams of omega 3 fats.

which signals your brain to seek out rewards. Comfort foods loaded with sugar and fat basically “apply the brakes” to the stress system by blunting this hormone, explains researcher Norman Pecoraro, PhD, who studies the physiology of stress at the University of California, San Francisco. When you reach for food in response to negative feelings such as anger or sadness (like potato chips after a fight with your spouse), you inadvertently create a powerful connection in your brain.

DEATH KNELL FOR HD-DVD? When the Warner Bros. Entertainment announced it will release highdefinition DVDs exclusively in the new Blu-ray format, the studio may have rung the death knell for its struggling high-definition rival, HD-DVD, analysts say. The rivalry between the two platforms of high-definition DVDs — Blu-ray is supported by Sony, while HD-DVD is supported by both Toshiba and Microsoft — has been raging since the discs’ development. While other Hollywood studios have gradually chosen one format over the other, Warner Bros. had been the lone exception, publishing movies in both formats. Only two major U.S. studios now support HD-DVD, while five will support Sony’s Blu-ray disc exclusively.

fit the bill. If you want to record the sessions, avoid the advertising and add options such as session scheduling or mouse and keyboard sharing, you can upgrade to one of Yugma’s pay services, which start at $9.95 a month or $99.50 per year (10 users).

If you want to hold larger meetings (15 to 25 people) and want reports on everything that happened during the session (including how many people went to another screen during the presentation!) another service to consider is GoToMeeting (www.gotomeeting.com – starting at $49.95 per month).

Webex (www.webex.com) has a number of services for small businesses including a “pay-per-use” option that charges you 33 cents per user per minute, plus 20 cents per user per minute if you want to use their integrated teleconferencing system.

Or if you want to host a “Webinar” ( Web seminar) where up to 1,000 attendees can see the presentation and listen to the conversation but not speak during the meeting (they can interact through a chat interface), you may want to look into GoToWebinar (www. gotowebinar.com – starting at $99 per month).

The way all of these systems work is that the individual that is “hosting” the meeting installs the software that allows them to start or schedule a session that shares their desktop with others and then send invitations via e-mail to the desired attendees.

The attendees click on the link in the

he video teleconferencing trend started more than a decade ago, but the cost of these elaborate video-based systems is not for the casual user. This made way for less expensive “online collaboration” tools that would allow a presenter to share their screen via the Internet with all of the participants while on a telephone conference call (and add a Web cam if you really needed to see what the others looked like).

These tools have developed into very sophisticated meeting and training tools that include features such as recording both the audio and display screens (great for building a training library), transferring GARY HUBBARD control of the presentation to any of Technology the participants and support for Windows, Mac and Linux users on the same session.

Most of the tools give you the option to use a toll or toll-free telephone number for the phone conference call as well, so everything you need to hold an online meeting is included.

There are a number of services that provide online meetings. The primary factors in choosing one are what you want to do during the meeting and how many participants will be involved.

If you don’t care about recording the sessions, don’t need room for more than 10 attendees and don’t mind a little advertising during your meeting, there are free services, such as Yugma (www.yugma.com) that could

TO FLUSH OR NOT TO FLUSH?

reventive maintenance is key to the longevity and, more importantly, the reliability of your vehicle. It’s like putting money in your pocket.

Today’s cars are definitely not the same as those of 20 or 30 years ago. There was a time when you never flushed the transmission, power steering system or brake fluid. The primary reason is that the cars simply did not last as long. As a general rule, once they reached 80,000 to 100,000 miles they were ready for the heap anyway.

Today, most cars are just breaking in at that mileage. So, how do you prevent unnecessary breakdowns JOE PIEL and stay out of the Wheels repair shop for costly repairs?

Flush all the fluids every 30,000 miles or two years; whichever comes first.

Yes, it can be that simple! Imagine if you never changed the oil in your engine.

Catastrophic failure, right? In today’s cars, the same goes for the transmission, power steering

system, brake system and antifreeze. Exceptions to this rule are the use of synthetic fluids (flush every 60,000 miles) and sealed systems (never flushed).

You won’t find this information in most owners’ manuals because most manufacturers

If you wait till it’s broken, you’ll go broke fixing it. do not openly promote this regimen. Remember, they are in the business of selling you a new car every five years or so. They have no interest in you having your car any longer than that.

There used to be an old saying, “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” Well, today this one is replacing that old saying, “If you wait till it’s broken, you’ll go broke fixing it.”

My advice is this: make sure the “auto repair” shop you currently use is preventivemaintenance oriented. If they aren’t, then that’s all they are: “a repair shop.”

Drive safe out there.

This brings us to resolutions. After all, it wouldn’t be January and the new year unless we were making resolutions. It also wouldn’t be January and the new year unless we were breaking them almost as soon as we got them written down, but hey, nobody’s perfect.

Which is the point of resolutions in the first place.

I’m all for taking it easy on resolutions. For example, in my case I could resolve to lose 80 pounds and get myself back into shape. But that’s going to take a lot of resolve. Instead, I’m resolving to lose enough weight so that I don’t have to wear my fat pants – you know, the ones you keep tucked in the back of the closet, the ones that look like a six-man tent, with belt loops and cuffs. My hope is that once I lose that much weight, vanity will take over and I’ll just keep going. That’s the way it worked last time I made this resolution. And the time before that. And the time before that.

My other resolutions are to stop smoking and drinking. I don’t expect these to be too much trouble. I quit cigarettes four years ago and I haven’t had a drink since 1990. I think I have a pretty good chance of success here.

And after that, we’re down to this: Be a good family member, a good friend and a good citizen. Which happen to be the same resolutions I made back in the fourth grade, for a class project. I got an A. My sister said I was brown-nosing and just writing what the teacher wanted to see. Of course I was. Wasn’t that the whole point?

Now, though, they actually look like pretty good goals to me, and attainable ones, too.

And lucky me, I have a whole year to work on them.

If I are you near?” let you order a pizza, the next thing you know, “We’re just south of 86th and Mud Creek.” the people next door to you will be ordering “One moment, sir.

Pizza-wise, area it would increase our net profit by only 1.567 percent during the week and only 2.567 percent on weekends.”

“Wow, those are impressive statistics. Is that based on a mathematical extrapolation using advanced calculus?”

“No, we just use a simple pie chart.”

LAUGHS

N

ow that we’re out of The Holidays (and what a threemonth fudge-and-dessert binge THAT was), it’s time for us to get down to the serious business of … of …

Well, shoot. I can’t think of anything. That’s what I get for using the word “serious.”

Maybe I should start over. How about: It’s time for us to get down to the (I’m not saying it) business of making the most from the promise of this new year, 2008.

There. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Real lofty, with some sort of purpose. And, in keeping with the fact that 2008 is an election year and therefore bound to be loaded with political promises, it’s also MIKE REDMOND nice and vague.

Humor Actually, I’m quite fond of this time of year. I like January’s clean-slate quality.

Everything’s new. We’re starting from scratch.

You get another chance. A do-over. A life mulligan.

I just wish the people to whom I owed money thought the same way. “What’s that, Mike?

Got a little carried away buying Christmas presents on eBay? Paid about twice the going price for that set of Funny Face Drink Mix character cups you gave to your brother? Hey, it was Christmas. Don’t worry about it. Just pay what you can and forget the rest. And take your time. No hurry. While you’re at it, don’t worry about the truck payment for a couple of months. We know how it is.”

I ask you: Can I daydream, or what?

Oh, well. Since that’s not going to happen, the only solution is to work and pay the bills.

Look at it this way: Fear of insolvency can be an excellent motivator.

If you’re nearsighted, your eyes may seem smaller behind glasses; lining your top and lower lids is a surefire way to make them look bigger.

For fair to medium skin tones, stick with a mahogany or light charcoal liner; for darker complexions, a deep coal or black.

Farsighted prescriptions often make eyes look bigger, so use a light hand — dust a neutral shadow on lids and brush on a coat of mascara.

Stir Crazy offers a diverse menu of Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese food. The Castleton Square Mall site is the second location in Indiana for the Chicago-based chain. “Stir Crazy has 11 locations across the country,” said Doban Phillippe of Stir Crazy. He said they don’t think of it as a normal Chinese restaurant. “We like to think of it as the best of Asian cuisine. We have a lot of dishes here that you can’t find anywhere else,” Phillippe said. Stir Crazy also offers a casual stir fry that you can make by yourself, but this isn’t like other do-it-yourself places. “We don’t make you walk around for it. You just choose what you want and relax while we go get it for you,” Phillippe said.
