It doesn’t take a raging feminist – Commentary by Brandie Bohney • When I was in college, my own grammar guru used a grammar test in all of her classes. You had to pass the test at some point during the semester, or you failed the class. The test was about a style Bohney manual she wrote, and the manual contained more than one hundred rules for various grammatical issues. Several of the issues were, in my collegeminded opinion, stupid. Why was she so hung up about the use of hopefully as anything other than an adverb? Who needed to know what an anacoluthon was, anyway? What was her problem with lady?

They created it during Fourth of July weekend, and the game takes its visual cues from Risk, but plays like something more European; think Carcassonne or The Settlers of Catan, Douthit said. “We played the other games so much we were looking for something new or different,” said Koldus. The three are neighbors and were brought together by a common love of board games and mutual time to kill. They would meet to play Monopoly or Risk during their free time. Eventually, they decided it was time to make something of their own. “Risk or Monopoly could drag on forever,” Koldus said. “We wanted a game you could play in 30 minutes.” Scholarships accepted – Carmel Tri Kappa is accepting applications for its annual college scholarships. Four $1,500 college scholarships will be awarded.

Vanishing. Carmel doctor has new procedure for dealing with varicose veins

Varicose veins. No one wants them, but the millions who suffer with them endure pain, swelling, leg heaviness and even skin changes, including ulcers. When Linda Garrett of Kokomo had her varicose veins “stripped” 10 years ago, the process was extremely painful. The the post-procedure swelling and restrictions made her hesitant to get help when she developed a blood clot due to vein failure in her other leg last year. Luckily for Garrett, medical advancements have brought a new— and better—way to deal with the problem. Referred to Dr. William Finkelmeier at VeinSolutions in Carmel, Garrett said she was hesitant to undergo the new VNUS Closure procedure offered there, but knew she had to better her situation. “Going in, I was scared to death,” she said. “When I got done, however, I walked right out of the hospital the same day. It was incredible.” Finkelmeier, who participated in the research that led to the procedure, said most patients have been in so much pain prior to the radiofrequency-powered catheter operation, they feel only minor discomfort in comparison post-surgery. “Most patients require no pain medication,” said Finkelmeier. “And they say the difference is like night and day. They have few complaints, and many return to work the next day, walking, biking and taking the stairs.” An avid walker, Katie Bolinger traveled from the Richmond area to undergo VNUS Closure in an effort to relieve her constant leg pain. Repairing both legs, one week apart, Bolinger resumed normal walking quickly. “Really, it was not like I thought it would be. I would never have guessed it was

going to be so painless,” Bolinger said. I would never hesitate to do it again.” This story, authored by Darla Kinney Scoles, first appeared in Current Publishing newspapers on February 28, 2012.

Open Upright Mri: Better for patients – and doctors, too. Often, patients with serious pain will postpone treatment for their condition to avoid getting an MRI. This is usually due to perceived fears about the exam. The enclosed space, strange noises and the inability to see outside the machine all contribute to patient anxiety. Fortunately, there’s an alternative for patients who don’t want to undergo a traditional MRI: the Open Upright MRI. The Open Upright MRI makes the scanning process far easier for patients, allowing them to avoid being confined in a small space while lying on their back. Instead, they sit upright during the exam. Meanwhile, the front of the machine is open, allowing the patient full visibility. The Open Upright MRI is advantageous for doctors as well, because it uses state-of-the-art technology that provides a more detailed image ensuring accurate diagnosis. In the world of imaging, it’s a win-win. For more information on the Open Upright MRI, visit carmel.stvincent.org

Education

Answer your phone for the CEF Commentary by Jeff Worrell I know, I know. People just don’t answer their home phones anymore. And that is assuming they still have a phone to answer. This fact alone is what makes this year’s Carmel Education Foundation Telethon much more challenging. But if any organization can climb every mountain, keep its nose to the grindstone or get tough when the going gets tough, it is the mighty CEF. From today through Thursday, a Carmel High School student dialing for dollars will be hopeful each evening that a kind, generous voice on the other end of the line will respond positively to the solicitation, of course, assuming the phone is actually answered. Made up of students, parents, volunteers and teachers dedicated to making Carmel Clay Schools better, the CEF’s major fundraiser is the annual telethon, which is responsible for providing funds to do the extras Carmel students have enjoyed for decades. In the form of grants, CEF awarded the following projects this year: The “All About Electives” grant funded the development of a series of brief videos on the CHS YouTube channel – www.youtube.com/ user/CarmelhighSchool1 – which introduces electives at CHS. The videos were designed to help students and their parents decide which electives to take and how electives helped students prepare for college or a career.

The “Lyrical Language of Literacy” grant allowed the 11 CCS elementary music teachers to develop new curriculum and lesson plans that integrated music and literature from around the world for all CCS elementary students. The Carmel Elementary School “ALL-STAR After School Club” grant supported an afterschool tutoring program for students in grades two through five who are not meeting gradelevel standards. Airing on Bright House Networks Channel 99 this month is the performing arts portion of the telethon. On Feb. 16, choirs from each of the schools within the district gathered to showcase their talent, and again, coax you into a giving state of mind. Telethon organizer, hard worker and longtime volunteer around town, Janet Corbin said, “The CEF Telethon is a tradition in Carmel with a rich history of supporting all students in Carmel. I am excited about the changes we have made this year.” When caller ID shows a 317 area code this week, let your guard down, take a chance and answer the phone. Carmel will continue to be great because you did.

COMMUNITY Volunteers Dillon continues efforts to improve Carmel’s parks By Kevin Kane • kevin@youarecurrent.com Sue Dillon’s volunteer efforts in Carmel began at a time when she said the city’s streets were “naked” and without trees. Today, Carmel boasts a robust parks system and is heavily wooded, and Dillon deserves a good deal of credit for that. For nearly 25 years, Dillon has been a driving force behind the planting of Carmel’s trees and the development of its most notable parks. Even after 15 years of service on the Carmel Clay Parks Board and multiple awards, she continues her volunteer efforts to help beautify Carmel. She and a small group of Carmel residents became active in 1988 when a number of the city’s trees were cut down to make room for new housing. “There were six woodlands cut that summer to make way for houses, and people were really upset about it,” she said. “We decided it’s one thing to complain, and it’s another to do something about it.” That 12-person group went on to found Citizens for Greenspace, which in addition to raising awareness of the need for parks and trees, has led the planting of more than 6,000 trees along Carmel’s streets and in its parks since it organized the city’s first Arbor Day tree planting in 1989. Greenspace and Dillon are responsible for most of the trees on the city’s streets and in its parks, Dillon said, including every tree in West Park, and next month’s Arbor Day planting will continue adding more to Founders Park. “We were so successful we put ourselves out of business,” Dillon said, adding Greenspace was retired two years ago, much of its duties now in the hands of the now-larger Carmel Clay Parks Dept. Last January, her career on the Parks Board also ended after 15 years, many of which she

We’re excited and happy to welcome former Mr. Basketball, Noblesville Miller and Indiana Hoosier, Tom Coverdale to the Shepherd Insurance family.

Dillon spent as the board’s president and leading efforts to plan and construct both Central Park and the Monon Community Center. But while Dillon received two awards for her years of service to Carmel’s parks – a Park Champion award from Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation last year and a Volunteer of the Year Award from the Indiana Park and Recreation Association – she isn’t done serving the community. Greenspace has morphed into the Carmel Clay Parks Foundation, taking on new projects such as funding swimming lessons for 100 local children who otherwise could not afford the sessions. A May 18 cocktail party, the foundation’s first, will raise money for these scholarships. Dillon’s long-term goal, however, is to help get the foundation up and running so it can achieve its goals of funding ancillary projects for the city’s parks. “We have a wonderful community. You just don’t walk away from your involvement in a community,” she said. “You just don’t walk away from these projects.”

History

Starting a town: Carmel’s history Commentary by Zina Warren The following is an excerpt from Zina Warren’s 1911 book, “Reminiscences of the Long Ago,” a historical account of the early settlement of Bethlehem, which later became Carmel. In 1837, my father (Daniel Warren) set about starting a town here, being the intersection of the roads and where four farms cornered, the southwest being his own. Two others, Alexander Mills on the northeast and John Phelps on the southeast, were willing to have land platted and sell lots, but on the northwest, the owner was unwilling. My fathere offered him $100 for an acre, enough for four lots. That being such a big price, he accepted it. Then the grounds were platted and recorded under the name of Bethlehem. There were a plenty of tadpoles then, and my father, meeting a neighbor who was opposed to having a town, told him we had a town and its name was Bethlehem, and his answer was “Yes, Tadpoles Glory.” My father sold lots at whatever he could get for them in order to start the town. One he sold for 5 yards of homemade jeans of indifferent quality, and the purchaser was to build a house

Activities

Parks offer adaptive programs Commentary by Brooke Tafflinger What’s your disability IQ? There’s no denying the world we live in today is diverse and many individuals face challenges related to disabilities. Are you aware of these challenges? Do you know what qualifies as a disability? Do you know the differences between a developmental and physical disability? Have you ever taken note of the available resources in our community for neighbors with disabilities? The Indiana Governor’s Council for Individuals with Disabilities has designated March as Disability Awareness Month, and Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation is participating to offer our community the opportunity to increase awareness. Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation already leads the Indy metro area in inclusion programming, providing a multitude of adaptive escapes in sports, fitness, arts, culture, events, social enrichment, private therapies, as well as reasonable accommodations for all our amenities and activities.

Last year, we served more than 800 individuals with disabilities. For our participation in Disability Awareness Month, Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation offers special programs. The Extended School Enrichment program gets in on the action through Friday, when every site will host discussions on individuals and disabilities, as well as provide take-home materials to start the discussion at home. Later in the month, we invite any individual with disabilities, all ages and ability levels, to join us for a fun session of gym time at the Monon Community Center. The general public is also invited to come to this event and learn more about getting involved through volunteering. For more information on any of these events, visit carmelclayparks.com.

First, the county’s original child advocacy center moved into a new home late last year, as plans for future development forced the nonprofit out of its nearly rent-free location at Main Street and Old Meridian. Now, the organization is not changing its mission, but is completely shifting its approach to helping the children of Hamilton County. After 10 years and thousands of interviews as a full-fledged child advocacy center, Chaucie’s Place in year 11 is “strengthening its focus” on education. While the Chaucie’s Place of years past specialized in helping the child abuse victims who came through its doors, today the organization is ramping up its prevention programs in an effort to keep as many children as possible from needing such assistance. “While reacting to child abuse is still critical and very important to what we do at Chaucie’s Place, we’re focusing more on prevention and keeping kids from coming through our doors,” said Toby Stark, executive director of Chaucie’s Place. In the past, the child advocacy center’s primary function has been to house and conduct forensic interviews as part of a multidisciplinary team. In these situations, a team consisting of law enforcement officers, the Dept. of Child Services and a member of the prosecutor’s office would come together at Chaucie’s Place to watch and provide feedback as a trained interviewer on Chaucie’s staff would question an alleged victim from another room. Getting all of the parties together for one interview results in a more accurate account of the incident and reduces stress on the child. But as a December report by Current in Carmel revealed, circumstances have changed in the past two years. A rift between old leadership of Chaucie’s Place and law enforcement officials

Celebrating change This year’s annual Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast – Friday from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Ritz Charles – will illustrate the organization’s shift in focus. In years past, event speakers have been child abuse survivors who have spoken on the benefits of the multidisciplinary team approach used in child advocacy centers. This year’s speaker will be Sgt. Terry Hall, the creator of the Body Safety program used by Chaucie’s Place. Hall will speak for the need for and impact of prevention programs. For more information, visit www.chauciesplace.org. eventually led to an extremely rare outcome: the creation of a second – essentially competing – child advocacy center in Noblesville, the Cherish Center. And since July 1, 2010, the DCS has been unwavering in its stance to only attend interviews at the new center, despite frequent requests from Chaucie’s Place to reconsider. Although Carmel Police Chief Tim Green said in December he would prefer to continue using Chaucie’s Place, and Hamilton County Prosecutor Lee Buckingham has added the quality of the interviews conducted at the two centers is comparable, the fact the DCS only fully participates at Cherish Center has pushed nearly all of the county’s forensic interviews to the second CAC. While Stark said she is still hoping for an eventual compromise with the DCS, Chaucie’s Place in the meantime is working to bolster its prevention programs so as to help the county’s children in a different way. Stark said Chaucie’s Place is the only Hamilton County center teaching the Body Safety program presented to elementary school children. It also offers a Stewards of Children program for adults, and Stark said the organization is looking into adding suicide prevention and cyber-safety programs. “It’s not about what the other center is or isn’t doing,” she said.

“We saw a great need in the community,” she said. Body Safety has been offered by Chaucie’s Place for 11 years and is taught in nearly every Hamilton County elementary school. Annually, its message reaches about 9,000 children in the county. The class is led by Chaucie’s Place staff members as well as trained volunteers, and explains to children the difference between appropriate and inappropriate behavior. But it also teaches children they have the right to say “No” – even to someone they know. “One of the things I love about this is the voice it gives children. Our hope is it will open a dialogue,” Stark said. “It teaches children they are allowed to talk about this. They’re allowed to say what’s happened to them.” The Stewards of Children program teaches adults, among other things, how to appropriately react to a disclosure of abuse. That program began in late 2010 and has since trained more than 400 adults, Stark said. She added Chaucie’s Place is still handling forensic interviews “when called upon,” but now the ***CAC is focused on partnering with other local organizations and schools with which it can share its messages. Expanding beyond Hamilton County also is a major goal, Stark said. “Prevention is at the heart and soul of what we do,” she said. “If we can eliminate a lack of education, a lack of awareness and a fear of speaking about it, those are three contributing factors we can have control over.” GRAMERCY HEARING / P11 • FEWER CENTER shoWs? / P12 • ACCETTURo’s NEXT MoVE / P14

Editorial Look at this train wreck in-the-works

Health Insurance

It is our position misplaced, overblown patriotic rhetoric smothers intelligent discussion. Sen. Dan Coats’ defense of the Respect for Conscience Amendment on religious freedom grounds is an excellent example. Search YouTube for “Coats says we must stand for religious freedom.” The Respect for Conscience Amendment, defeated by Democrats in the Senate on March 1, would have allowed any employer (not just faith-based organizations) that offers health insurance to refuse to cover any “specific item or service contrary to the (employer’s) religious beliefs or moral convictions.” This amendment is caught up in the brouhaha about health insurance for contraceptives – subject for another editorial. Our point is different. We object to Coats’ “religious freedom” rhetoric because it obscures permitting employers to deny insurance coverage for items contrary to the employer’s religious beliefs or moral convictions does nothing to protect the religious freedom of living, breathing human beings. Search as you might in Coats’ grandiloquent tribute to freedom of religion; you won’t find a single syllable explaining how the Respect for Conscience Amendment would enhance the religious freedom of actual, real-life people. We welcome thoughtful discussion about what treatments employer health care plans must cover. But Coats wrapping himself in the flag certainly doesn’t lead to such a discussion.

Robbing hood Commentary by Terry Anker Maid Marian may have found him dreamy, but is the story of Robin Hood one that makes sense today in the world of big government and, as some might say, the ubiquitous nanny state? Certainly, the need continues. Without regard to how much we collectively produce as a society, some of us will have more than others. Even in the most altruistic communist or utopian examples, certain ones stand above his or her peers. While most thinking folks can agree with this simple assessment, the cooperation ends there. Many believe with great passion those in our midst who have excelled are to be rewarded for their industrious nature, superior intellect and use of given talents and resources. Others, in describing the same set, would levy equally-fervent charges of robberbaronism. They might denounce those at the top of hierarchy of, at best, using undue force or position to elevate themselves over their peers, or, at worst, label them criminals to the end of ultimate persecution and prosecution.

Like most matters, the answer is unlikely found at the fringes of either argument. Some success is attributed to hard work, and some to luck or other advantage. But back to our friend and his merry band. Is it ever right to steal from or force disadvantage upon those about whom we have decided have taken unfair advantage? Robin Hood redistributed enough of the King’s money that various legitimate projects must have been affected. The French mobs beheaded enough aristocrats they must have ensnared an innocent or two. Even convicted tax-dodger Wesley Snipes failed to make a case our own government takes just too much. To certain among us, it is an alluring notion to knock down the rich and powerful. But when we take the power, does our solution become the problem? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@ currentincarmel.com.

"Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth."

Whoa, what a surprise! We hope you’re sitting down. The Congressional Budget Office, the independent arm of Congress, recently extended its cost estimates for President Barack Obama's health care law out to 2022, and, we’re shocked, SHOCKED, that the bill substantially is more expensive. Actually, twice as much as the original $900-billion price tag. Projected cost: $1.76 trillion. And this doesn’t even include implementation costs. So, in essence, the bill is going to cost nearly twice as much as projected and cover possibly 2 million fewer people. Fear not: the CBO goes on to say the law will actually reduce the deficit thanks to a projected $81 billion more in income than prior projections, courtesy of new taxes and penalties on individuals, employers and insurance companies. Just another government train wreck waiting to happen. ••• We’ve been watching the start of the U.S. 31 project these last few weeks, and while we are impressed with the dispatch by which the crews are operating, we’re less than thrilled our fellow motorists cannot seem to read signage. Just last Wednesday after work, we were on U.S. 31 North, where the speed limit decreases to 40 mph – owing to a shoulder-less thoroughfare – and one would have thought it was an invitation to run a grand prix course. We were just at the speed limit – and clearly were in jeopardy of being run off the road and into the concrete barriers. This is serious business, folks. Crews are doing their best to complete the prep work in an expedient fashion. Read the signs and believe them; the local officers of the law will teach you a very expensive lesson if you choose to do otherwise.

Five-year recap

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Well good day to you! March marks the fifth anniversary of my writing for this prestigious journal, and so I thought it time to take a moment and reflect on my experience. For starters, you should know I pen this column for fun, so don’t look to me for any hard-core journalism. See, I used to be a stayat-home mom of four and provide daycare for a nephew and two nieces, and I desperately needed a way to cope that didn’t include narcotics or cross-dressing. The mommy groups I attended were either too preachy or hoitey-toitey, and bitchin’ to my neighbors just wasn’t cutting it. So the good folks at Current agreed to give me a platform to share my thoughts on soccer mom issues like hemorrhoids, snoring husbands, potty training and the occasional run-ins with my nemeses, self-righteous Christians and breastfeeding Nazis. (Current also allows me a great deal of editorial latitude as evidenced by my frequent use of made-up words and swearing. Go freedom of speech!) Low and behold, it worked. This weekly column has literally saved me thousands in counseling and Maker’s Mark. Secondly, I am of the liberal persuasion and usually vote Democrat (unless I am under so much stress from living with my in-laws I accidentally vote Republican – true story.) This

12 | March 20, 2012

often puts me at odds with the majority of Indianapolis suburbia, the uptight conservatives with perfect spouses and perfect houses and perfectly-perfect lives. I’m not bitter. It’s just in my world, manicures, sit-down dinners and bathed children are the things of fiction. My point is, I keep it real in my articles. This doesn’t mean I hate my kids or am heading for divorce. The truth is, most days I’m just hoping to keep my sh*# together long enough to enjoy a “30 Rock” rerun before bed. And my guess is, many of you can relate. Two more things: To protect the identity of my fabulous husband, I refer to him only as “Doo,” as in Loretta Lynn’s spouse. He inherited this nickname after a particularly disturbing yet hilarious affair involving a raccoon, a shotgun and a bathrobe-clad yours truly. Also, I close all of my articles with “Peace Out.” My sister-inlaw used to speak these words when she’d retrieve her kids from my “daycare” and I associate the phrase with a happy feeling of closure (and two fewer kids). So, thanks for your patronage, and peace out! Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Letters to the Editor Courtesy when Statues do not add discussing politics to Arts District VIEWS

Editor, My name is Sheila Triplett and I live in Carmel. I am writing to you about a recent editorial by Brian Kelly and Steve Greenberg in the “From the Backshop” section of Current regarding your perspectives on President Barack Obama and his January State of the Union Address. It is your right as American citizens to disagree with President Obama’s politics and policy. I, personally, have never agreed with everything any politician has espoused. It is, however, my hope and fervent prayer you and all who disagree with President Obama will try to adapt a more civil and less mocking and disparaging tone in your words and deeds, especially as we progress through this election season. As the publisher and general manager of Current, you have the unique opportunity to serve as voices of positive and proactive change, and be more courteous when discussing candidates and the three major political parties, Democrats, Independents and Republicans, which I listed in alphabetical order. Keep in mind neither all Americans and/or Carmel residents view President Obama’s policies as tantamount to Socialism, nor have an expressed desire to vote him out of office. Please also remember, as Americans, we share common, yet diverse voices. Dr. Sheila Triplett 46032

Editor, Last month, Current in Carmel asked, “What do you think of the statues in the Arts & Design District?” I’m strongly opposed to having 16 expensive statues at $80,000, each by the one artist, J. Seward Johnson Jr., using the same type of medium and design paid for by my taxes. And there are additional costs for security cameras that became necessary to protect the statues from vandalism and the cost for paint touch-ups and cleanups of the statues. At a City Council meeting, our councilors voted not to scan people for weapons when they were entering our court rooms, and yet we are paying for security to protect these statues from vandalism. Mayor Jim Brainard, who ordered these statues, said public art is an important aspect to a city’s quality of life and these life-size sculptures are a wonderful addition to the City of Carmel and the Carmel Arts & Design District. I do not think these statues are a wonderful addition to the City of Carmel or they enhance the

urban environment and promote visual arts in Carmel. I feel having two or three of the statues would have been OK, but I strongly prefer a variety of art styles and artists exhibiting public art. And, I value having some of our public art created by local artists. Jill Meisenheimer, 46032

Humor

That time of year

Laughs by Mike Redmond

It is spring cleaning time, and because I always follow the rules (sometimes) I have begun my annual ritual of trying to make things presentable around here, starting with the refrigerator. My refrigerator is more than just a place to store foodstuffs. It’s also a time capsule. The more you dig toward the back, the more you find evidence of a once-proud civilization that clung to those last remaining teaspoons of jam in the jar, the cups of orange Jell-O, the rinds that cradle a small crescent of Swiss cheese. Oh, and pickles. Lots and lots of pickles. For which I blame the McKenzie family pickle rule. The McKenzies, my mother’s family, are big on pickles. Well, actually, we’re big on everything, in the wide-load, hearty-eater, two-desserts sense of the word. But we really like pickles. Maybe it’s because we’re from LaGrange County, where just about every family tree – including ours – has an Amish or Mennonite branch. Anabaptists have some fine pickle traditions, although that business about each meal having seven sweets and seven sours is a myth. Sorry if that bursts your bubble. The McKenzie pickle rule says any time you have family over for a celebration dinner, you’re supposed to put pickles on the table. A lot of them. In several varieties.

It further states the pickles should be of the highest quality (as I said, we like pickles), meaning they should be from an unopened jar. Homemade are preferred, but there’s nothing wrong with good store pickles. OK, so this means every time people come over, I have to buy a lot of pickles. And that means I invariably have pickles left over, which go into the fridge, where somehow they migrate to the back where they can’t be seen. Then another holiday comes along. Which means time to buy new pickles. And I can’t use the leftover ones because that is against the rules. By the end of the year and all the dinners – Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, plus birthdays – you have an entire shelf of the refrigerator pretty much dedicated to quarter-full jars of pickles. Some of which have gone beyond mere picklehood and into that territory known as “laboratory experiment.” And so in spring, that season of renewal, I turn my attention to the task of cleaning out the fridge and giving the old pickles a decent send-off. I’ll deal with the olives in the fall. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline.com or P.O. Box 44385, Indianapolis, IN 46244.

Stop! Thief in Minnesota Laughs by Dick Wolfsie

I recently discovered another newspaper columnist has been stealing my material and claiming it as his own work. Apparently this culprit has lifted the exact words from other writers, as well. But had this plagiarizer stolen from me? I picked a distinctive paragraph from a recent piece I wrote … “We’ve had critter problems before, but there’s a big difference between having a mouse in your kitchen and having a woodchuck in your backyard. A woodchuck is something you can mention at a cocktail party and someday those very same people will sit in your kitchen and gorge themselves on your homemade guacamole.” Bingo! My column popped up, nearly word for word, in a Blooming Prairie, Minn., newspaper. Except the byline wasn’t mine. The only change the writer made was he dumped the guacamole and served onion dip instead. I guess that was to add a little local flavor. The first thing I did when I learned of this literary pilfering was to tell Mary Ellen. Her response: “This is incredible, Dick. Are you telling me he could have stolen from any of hundreds of humor columnists in America and he picked you?” You’d have to know how Mary Ellen said the word “you” to understand why I lost an entire night’s sleep thinking about that. She had more

to say. “So people know about me in Blooming Prairie, Minn. How cool is that?” “I think you are missing the point here. I work very hard every week to write my column.” “Right, sure you do. So tell me, did he steal that adorable piece you wrote where I make fun of your bad habits like shaking your leg and leaving caps off jars in the fridge? And how about that hysterical column where you put on someone else’s underwear at the gym by mistake?” “Yes, but he also used the one where you have no idea how to use your cell phone, the column where I make fun of your relatives and the one where you pack and repack three or four times before going on a trip.” “The man must be stopped, Dick.” I agreed. This was inexcusable behavior. The Minnesota plagiarizer was confronted with the evidence and left the paper in disgrace. The publisher has apologized to all the writers, acknowledging how reprehensible this behavior was, but he added the column would not be missed, because some weeks it wasn’t that funny. That was another night of sleep I lost.

Implants, lasers and peels Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: I had a breast reduction done when I was a teenager (now age 30) and now, if you can believe it, I’m thinking about getting breast implants. I am a 34B and was thinking of getting 350cc silicone gel implants if this will not make me too big. My main concern is am I more likely to have something go wrong. Is it (augmentation) more difficult since I already had breast surgery? A: Surprisingly it is not rare that a former breast-reduction patient will one day later desire a breast augmentation. Teenage breast reduction has the potential for this to happen as the reduced breast will be exposed to pregnancies, which cause breast involution or breast-tissue shrinkage. When coupled with the prior breast reduction, a woman can eventually end up with almost no breast tissue at all. The desire for augmentation after reduction may also occur if the amount of breast tissue removed was excessive. Prior breast-reduction surgery has no negative influence on the subsequent placing of breast implants. Reduction surgery occurs above the muscle; implants are generally placed below the muscle. Q: I have a few wrinkles and extra skin on my lower eyelids I would like to get rid of. I have read about lasers and chemical peels.

Which of these two lasts the longest? Which is the most natural looking result? Which is least likely to excessively tighten skin? I am curious as to why laser resurfacing is so popular over chemical peels. A: Both methods, laser versus trichloroacetic acid chemical peel, are commonly used and it is a matter of comfort and experience as to which method plastic surgeons use. It is likely you may also benefit by a pinch lower blepharoplasty with a TCA peel, but I would have to look at your lids to answer that question. This is a favorite method of mine for the lower eyelids because it works very well with a very small amount down time. It is also the most minimalist method to guarantee lower lid skin would be tightened to some degree. Lasers are more popular than peels today for a few reasons. First, they are more “high-tech,” and with that comes the assumption they produce better results. In addition, their high cost and the need for the manufacturers to sell them drive a lot more visible marketing efforts.

Nutrtion

Four food swaps to flatten your belly in days 3. Avoid barbecue sauce and hot sauce and replace it with in-season fresh or dried herbs like dill, basil, mint, sage, tarragon and rosemary. You can also use curry powder, lemon juice or lime juice, all perfect with fish or chicken. Also avoid black pepper, nutmeg, cloves, chili powder, onions, garlic, mustard, horseradish, ketchup and tomato sauce vinegar, as spicy foods stimulate the release of stomach acid and cause irritation. 4. Season your meals with salt-free blends such as the Original and Italian medley by Mrs. Dash. You may be attracted to your saltshaker, but water is, too. When you take in higher than usual amounts of the salty stuff, you’ll temporarily retain more fluid, contributing to that sluggish feeling, a puffy appearance and extra water weight. - www. prevention.com

1. Shrink your fruits and veggies. Avoid any raw fruits and vegetables, and eat canned varieties in natural juice or small portions of dried fruit, such as raisins and dried plums. A half-cup serving of cooked carrots delivers the same nutrition as one cup raw, but it takes up less room in your GI tract. The same goes for fresh fruits: Compare the size of a few grapes to a few raisins. 2. Stop chewing gum. If you chew gum by habit or just like to bite down on something crunchy, reach for some nuts, like roasted or raw unsalted sunflower seeds. You probably don’t realize this, but when you chew gum, you swallow air. All that air gets trapped in your GI tract and causes pressure, bloating and belly expansion—none of which help flatten your middle.

Bananas lower blood pressure – You probably know eating too much salt can raise blood pressure, but most people aren’t aware of the benefits of potassium, which counters sodium’s ill effects. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, people with hypertension may especially benefit from upping the amount of potassium in their diet. Adults should get at least 4,700 milligrams a day. A few good sources: bananas (422 milligrams each), a baked potato with skin (738 milligrams), orange juice (496 milligrams per cup) and nonfat or low-fat yogurt (531 to 579 milligrams per 8 ounces). - www.health.com

Serious as a heart attack Commentary by David Cain

A friend of mine recently had a heart attack. He is a young guy with a healthy lifestyle and few risk factors. Ironically, this happened while he was returning from the gym after a workout. He felt pains and, home alone, called my wife. It went to voicemail. She noticed the missed call and returned it. He was short of breath on the other end of the line and complaining about his chest as he asked my wife to come to the house. Before she left our house, she called 911. When she got to his house, he was delusional as the ambulance arrived. He arrived at the hospital and the on-topof-it medical team had a stent in place in a matter of minutes. As the medical staff joined us in the waiting room, they looked at my wife, thinking it was his, and said, “You saved your husband’s life.” That was March 11. The following Wednesday afternoon, I stopped in at the butcher shop to pick up some meat. I heard the bell on the door ring behind me and, when I turned around, it was my stented friend. He was already out of the hospital and, on his way home, was at a butcher shop. I don’t know if a butcher shop would have been

my first stop, but I do love steak and can’t say for sure. I remember when my grandfather had a heart attack; it was bypass surgery and months of recovery. I realize my friend was lucky, but still, it’s amazing how the medical profession has progressed. It was probably Thursday of that same week when I was reading on Facebook, checking out updates of friends. I see a post about the event. It starts, “I had a wakeup call last Sunday …” and retells the story and cites how grateful he is for everything. I read it and was impressed, so I “liked” the story. The title of the post was “Heart Attack.” Next to the title it says, “David Cain Likes This.” Maybe next time I’ll just leave a comment instead. It’s a different world today. If not for the advances in technology, my friend’s Facebook post may have read a lot differently. Technology not only allows us to keep up with and learn from others, it can even save your life.

The bizarre reason you aren’t satisfied – People who are ambitious may achieve more success, but that trait doesn’t necessarily translate to living a happier life, says a recent study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology. Researchers tracked 717 people during a 70-year period. When they compared people who classified as ambitious (i.e. graduated from a prestigious school and went on to a high-paying job) against more laid-back subjects, they found the ambitious folks actually came out less satisfied. The problem: Ambitious people tend to escalate their goals based on attainments. -www.menshealth.com Foreclosures flood market – Lenders in January took back nearly 91,100 distressed properties, which include foreclosures and short sales, an increase of 29 percent from the previous month. In the next few months, experts say those homes will make their way back to the market to join the already high percentage of distressed homes being snatched up by buyers. That addition of distressed properties will likely lead to further drops in home prices, says Tom Popik, research director at Campbell Surveys, a real estate research firm. Foreclosures and short sales accounted for approximately 35 percent of total existing home sales in January – an increase of 16 percent from June. During that period, the median home price decreased 8.5 percent to $154,700. “Prices are going to continue to go down for a long time,” says Popik. - www.smartmoney.com

‘Whatever gods might be’ Commentary by Bob Walters

“I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.” So ends Scotsman William Ernest Henley’s poem “Invictus,” a couplet seen a thousand times on a thousand motivational posters. I saw one recently. “Invictus” is Latin for “unconquerable.” Henley’s lines bespeak heroic will, stoic selfsufficiency and uncomplaining fortitude. His words invite responsibility, imply courage and place no blame – all virtues. Our human souls are buoyed by the “master and captain” language of control: I control my fate, make things happen and do what I want. It’s up to me. My conscience is the only consequence. It is precisely here where aspiring virtues start devolving into self-absorbed vices; where “whatever gods might be” (in the poem’s first verse) subordinate Almighty God. Few would envy Henley’s life (1859-1903). Persistent childhood infections required the painful amputation of a lower leg at age 17, and Henley was told he would soon lose the other. Dr. Joseph Lister (the founder of antiseptic medicine; ever heard of Listerine?) arrived and saved the remaining leg. Near the end of that ordeal (1873-1875) at the Royal Edinburgh Infirmary in Scotland, Henley wrote “Invictus.” If Henley could spit at discouragement even then,

who wouldn’t admire him? And yet, as a Christian believer, I see Henley’s famously defiant, courageous, poetic truism as profoundly misleading and destructively untrue. His “master and captain” imagery conjures secular humanism, mocks reliance on God and eschews relationship with the only proper master and captain of every human life, Jesus Christ. Perhaps you’re thinking, “Picky, picky, picky. What’s wrong with a person taking command and being responsible for his or her own life?” Well, this is what’s wrong with it: it separates that person from God. There is only ever one “master” in our life and if that master is me, then it is not God. “I can do all things through him (Christ) who strengthens me,” says Paul (Philippians 4:13). Our Christian goal is not to master and command our limited “light and momentary” lives, but to love and worship the unlimited and eternal living God. Death, you see, conquers all, except for Jesus Christ, who conquered death. “Invictus?” ‘Tis wiser and more profitable, methinks, to serve a master and trust a captain who truly is unconquerable.

Athletics I’m a Carmel runner: David Temple LIFESTYLE

I’m running the Carmel: Marathon Number of years as a Carmel resident: 16 Goal for the 2012 Carmel Marathon Championship: Finish in less than four hours. Why I started running: I saw a picture of a friend on Facebook who had not gained any weight since high school and decided to get off the couch. I lost more than 30 pounds and have kept it off for nearly two years. Favorite place to run in Carmel: Clay Center Road as part of my long runs through several neighborhoods, and anywhere I can see wildlife. I have seen foxes, coyotes, owls, hawks and deer on runs in Carmel. I run with: Usually solo, or with my cousin Patrick Withered, or members of the Carmel Runners Club. When I’m not running: I practice law in Carmel with Drewry Simmons Vornehm, LLP, spend time with my family, walk or run with our dog twice a day, enjoy the outdoors – especially national and state parks – and attend sports car and open-wheel races. Race-day ritual: I listen to Judas Priest’s “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming.” Advice for new runners: Start slow and run

Small in stature, grand in style Design by Vicky Earley

Our studio samples have a very active social life and tend to invite more and more swatches to the party. The piles are stacking up and the stacks are tipping over. As a result, the less crucial instruments of this business, like mundane office space, take a backseat to the real drivers like fabric pieces and wood chips. I am not complaining, but the office space squeezed into extinction is mine. Yep … I have been compelled to move from a spacious room complete with shelves and a view to a, dare I say it … a closet! Don’t get me wrong … I am grateful for my closet. After all, it is a walk-in closet with a window overlooking the Arts District. Closets, however, tend to run a bit smaller than the typical room. My new office space boasts 15 square feet. The walls of my tiny office are painted stark white with a few carefully-selected contrast elements. This is critical in a real room situation where too many elements make the space seem smaller and cluttered. Sage advice for small rooms is typically to incorporate multifunction furnishings. One of my favorite tricks is to use a desk in lieu of a sofa

More weight, better shave – A heavier razor that weighs about 2.5 ounces or more, such as the classic Merkur or the Edwin Jagger 89L ($35), is less likely to nick because you won't be tempted to press into your skin to get a close shave. Go for a handle at least 3 inches long – it'll be easier to grip. - www. money.cnn.com

table. It provides the same layering interest as a table, but serves as a workhorse when needed. Even those who live in small spaces have guests … except for me in my closet office; there is only room for one body at a time. Extra seating in real, small rooms is critical if it can be achieved without taking floor space. Ottomans tucked under tables are the perfect alternative to inviting your guest to pull up a place on the floor and have a seat! Every element and detail matters when space is lacking, but that does not mean you need to sacrifice drama and detail. A huge crystal chandelier or grand, ornate mirror in an airy, light, small room can make a fabulous statement. The first change to my closet office was a chandelier because even small rooms deserve to feel grand! Yep … my new office is a closet. If you drive by the brownstone location and see a light on in a closet at 3 a.m., it is just me hard at work in my office. Honk and I will wave a coat hanger!

According to InStyle magazine, we uncovered three hair myths to help you decipher fact from fiction Myth #1: A cold rinse adds shine and tames frizz. True. A blast of cold water at the end of your shower can make your hair appear shinier and smoother because it closes the cuticle. Myth#2: Hair can become immune to shampoo. False. Shampoo will always do its job. The trick is to get the right shampoo for your hair type and styling needs. Consult with a Salon 01 professional for a recommendation that is right for you. Myth #3: Brushing your hair often makes it healthier. False. Over-brushing your hair can actually dull it by destroying the cuticle as well as cause split ends and breakage.

Floral For Spring

m ar

It’s hard to think of Spring without thinking of florals — this season the trend is to wear these patterns on everything, from dresses to tops to pants. Designers like Vivienne Tam, Peter Som and Richard Chai Love incorporated this flowery theme in their spring runway looks — and it might just be one of our favorites for the coming season. The look just screams spring. It’s a fun, fresh way to wear prints. If you're feeling fearful about how to pull it off, there are a few tips to keep in mind: • The best way to try the look is in a style that you would wear otherwise. If you're a denim enthusiast, there are a ton of floral-printed jeans on the market, from Paige Denim, 7 For All Mankind, and Current/Elliott. If you're more of a trouser girl, opt for some of the awesome picks from ASOS and J.Crew. • Don’t go overboard. If you opt for printed pants, keep

your top a solid color and vice versa, • Think about your body. If you're petite, you'll want to go with a smaller pattern; if you're tall, you can get away with a bolder, large-scale design. Either way, pick a color combo that can easily blend into your current wardrobe. • Edge it up... Add an edge to your look with bold heels or a tough-girl spike necklace. A leather jacket will also help give you an edge.

Stay Beautiful While You Travel Moisturize The recycled air in the plane can really dry out your pretty skin. The night before you are headed to the airport be sure to use a good moisturizer and lots of it. Also don’t forget to include a travel size face and lip moisturizer in your carry-on luggage to use during the flight. Give your skin a break from your makeup If you dread the thought of strolling though the airport bare faced, then pack some makeup removing wipes in your bag. Once you have boarded the plane, remove your makeup and apply a layer of moisturizer.

Avoid carbonation and salty foods We know this one is a challenge, considering the first things to be served on a plane are salted nuts and soda, but stay strong! Instead, opt for some herbal tea or good old H2O. Also try packing your own snacks. Things like unsalted nuts or dried fruit make an excellent in-flight treat and won’t leave you puffy or bloated. Be aware that in-flight alcohol is likely to make you more dehydrated. Compression socks Some of you might experience swelling in your hands and feet while flying. One way to avoid this is by wearing compression socks. These aren't fashionable, but they keep your feet from swelling during the flight. Freshen up Most perfume bottles exceed liquid size limits imposed by security, therefore you have to pack them in your checked luggage. But no one wants to arrive at their final destination smelling like a 747. Next time you fly, pack a couple of perfume samples with you. They work just as well and won't be confiscated in security processing.

Gardener psyched for another season Commentary by Holly Lindzy Having only JUST sprung forward, dare I say I think I’ve weathered the winter? I managed to eek out some amaryllis blooms, overwinter a Wandering Jew plant and acquire a gift ponytail palm during this less than inspirational winter we’ve had … but I’m starting to get cranky about seeing some more color around here. It won’t be long before someone comments that my driving passed the garden centers daily might be considered stalking, which doesn’t seem like healthy behavior, but when perusing seed selection or harvesting patches of moss from the side yard isn’t enough, what’s a girl to do? There was a time when I would pass my days tending to seedlings under grow lights and attending lectures about the newest varieties, but those times are on hold for now, with a preteen daughter (oof!) and a full-time job, it’s all I can do to go for a walk in the woods these days … and maybe a load of laundry peppered in. America’s most popular pastime, gardening, is

… pastime. What fun it would be to have time to pass? Instead, it seems I’m looking for it! And when I do find it, I try to relish the moment. A protective cardinal on the fence, a pair of squirrels in frantic courtship, blooms from common lawn “weeds” … all sights unseen once a good oppressive heat sets in during August. Finding a tiny baby sedum as I brush away last year’s debris is enough to fill the void of not nurturing baby plants in my windowsill. I do what I can do. And try not to end up with a restraining order from the garden center. So, let the season begin. Dust off the trowel and shake out the gardening gloves, it’s going to be a doozey. And please, e-mail your gardening woes and wisdom to me this season as you have in the past! Happy gardening! Holly Lindzy is an Indiana Accredited Horticulturist, Advanced Master Gardener and Community Tree Steward residing in Noblesville. Please e-mail your gardening woes and wisdom to hollylindzy@gmail.com.

March gardening tips – 1. Resist the temptation to uncover spring-flowering plants such as daffodils and tulips. Mulch may be loosened, but the shoots will still benefit from protection against cold, drying winds. 2. Be sure flats and pots used for starting seed are perfectly clean. You can sterilize with a solution of 10 percent bleach and 90 percent water. 3. Water newly-started seedlings carefully. A pitcher may let the water out too forcefully. A mist sprayer is gentle, but can take a long time. Try using a meat basting syringe, which will dispense the water effectively without causing too much soil disruption. - www.almanac.com

Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast Please join us for a complimentary breakfast in honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month

Organizing tip – A hardworking bulletin board can be as pretty as a picture when covered with cheerful fabric, then placed in a frame and hung from a wide ribbon. Have a lumber yard cut three-fourths-inch-thick Homasote fiberboard to fit a large frame. Cut a piece of fabric 2 inches larger all around; place facedown on work surface. Center fiberboard over fabric. Wrap one side of fabric to the back. Using a staple gun, attach fabric to board, beginning with one staple in the middle of the side, 1 1/2 inches in from the edge. Wrap fabric over opposite side, and secure to board with a staple directly opposite the first. Repeat with other two sides. Continue stapling fabric, working out toward the corners, always adding staples in pairs on opposite sides of the board, ensuring fabric stretches evenly. Place board in frame; secure in place with angle brackets at each corner. Attach D-rings to back of top corners of the frame. Loop ribbon through D-rings and hang. - www.marthastewart.com

Mixing old and new: Updating 1980s kitchen Remodeling by Larry Greene Original kitchen: This home, located in the Brookshire addition in Carmel, was built in 1980 and the owners have lived in the home for 21 years. The owners are retired now and have completed a few remodels over the years. “There were a lot of little things that bugged us about the kitchen, and you tend to live so long with those things you begin to ignore them. Once we found the right design/build team, we were ready to make changes. We love our kitchen now.” Project goals: The homeowner decided against gutting the entire kitchen, but still wanted several functional and aesthetic upgrades. The goals for the remodel were to remove a large, outdated ceiling light box; make the refrigerator look built-in; remove the hanging cabinetry between the kitchen and dining area; update the built-in shelves in the pantry; and build in the microwave above the stove. The homeowner noted, “The 3-D graphics system allowed us to actually see our finished kitchen before they (the workers) even started the job.” Matching old with new: One of the challenges was ensuring the new cabinet changes blended seamlessly with the original cabinets. New matching cherry-wood moldings and cabi-

net door and drawer fronts were custom ordered to fit the space. According to the owner, “We had new cabinetry added to the old, and the carpenters were able to match the look. When people come into our kitchen, they cannot tell which cabinets are new.” Final results: The homeowners commented, “The old pantry had built-in shelving that could only store soup cans. The new roll-out shelving gives us much more storage. We had granite

installed a few years ago, but with the overhead cabinets, it got lost. Now the cabinets are gone and the new pendant lighting is up; the granite looks like a piece of art.”
