Story by Brandon Bowman, Current In Carmel Photos provided by Ted von Eiff

rad Worrell and Brian von Eiff are best buddies. The two of them spend their time drinking milkshakes or playing practical jokes on each other, to the delight of Brian. Nerf basketball games can get serious, and they always eat lunch together at school.

Brian has Down syndrome, but that hasn’t held the two back from becoming great friends through Best Buddies, a national volunteer program. Brad and Brian were honored with the 2007 Volvo Best Buddies for Life Award on April 5 in New York City.

Best Buddies is a nonprofit organization that is focused on enhancing the lives of intellectually challenged students across the world.

It operates in more than 1,300 middle school, An NBC camera crew follows Brad and Brian high school and on their bike ride in Hyannis Port. college campuses in all 50 states and internationally.

Male buddies are hard to find in the Best Buddies program.

“The number of guys involved is really small. More guys should get involved, because you really do get to start a great friendship in the program,” Brad said. Brian’s parents thought that a female buddy might seem like a girlfriend to him. With Brad, Brian has grown in ways that he might not have been able to if he had a female buddy.

During the Rotary Club, lunch, Brian thanked everyone in attendance. He was like anyone else speaking in front of a crowd: nervous. Speaking quietly, Brad was by his side, giving him the encouragement and comfort that only a best buddy can offer.

“What they did was quite a thing, and we all have to be really proud of these two kids,” said Mayor Jim Brainard, who attended the lunch.

Brad drove the real message home at the close of his speech when he said, “The smallest things make the biggest difference in the lives of everyone.”

OUR TAKES It is our position that the Indiana Department of Transportation must commit to a timeline and a plan for U.S. 31 upgrades now - and then stick to them.

This year, our Legislature did all it could do to derail funding for any of the projects already contemplated by Major Moves. It shouldn’t have happened that way, but, hey, we haven’t voted ourselves pay raises, either. Yet. Plain and simple: Crossing U.S. 31 is dangerous, and playing politics with plans to make it safer is highly irresponsible.

This corridor divides our community, and residents want to enjoy the amenities of Carmel’s newly refurbished downtown and West and Coxhall parks.

Former INDOT head Tom Sharpe

CHAmpion of the terminally ill

committed several times publicly that U.S. 31 work would be completed by the end of 2011. Since his departure, INDOT has been quiet, and we are nervous.

INDOT commissioner Karl Browning has yet to outline specific timetables or priorities. And, efforts by our city’s administration to develop safer, cheaper and more attractive solutions to the problem have not been publicly addressed.

The Legislature must endorse and fund action in the next budget session.

Representatives Jerry Torr, Cindy Noe and David Orentlichter, along with Sen. Mike Delph, should work with their colleagues to make this a priority.

We should not wait for another traffic death before getting an answer.

Dr. Death is free, and it’s a great time for independent thinkers! Jack Kevorkian has been released from a correctional institution in southern Michigan.

The retired pathologist, who claims to have participated in at least 130 assisted suicides, left prison after eight years last week still believing people have the right to die.

Some of us around this joint wish that if and when that time comes, he’s still around and we can have him on speed-dial.

Many of his “patients” traversed the continent seeking relief, author Michael Betzold wrote in his book, “An Appointment with Dr. Death.” It could be said he actually spurred a tourism

drive even if for one visit – into Michigan.

The point here is that terminally ill people should have the ultimate right to decide when enough is enough. We decide that for our pets – living, breathing, loyal beings.

Why can’t we decide that for ourselves?

We have experienced first-hand the painful demise of relatives, folks whose singular chance at complete comfort was a quick exit. They all were denied, because the judicial system said so. Our loved ones were forced to linger through the ravages of their diseases before their bodies finally quit. Talk about inhumane!

It should be a personal choice – and a no-brainer, really.

Current in Carmel, in conjunction with Clarian North Medical Center, is at it again, trying hard to do something good for the community. Or at least four members of the community.

CarmelFest 2007 is but a month away, and we had the swell (stolen) idea to launch an inaugural treasure hunt for the event. Sue Finkam, manager of marketing and public relations at Clarian North (if you don’t know her, you should), wasted no time in putting the hospital behind it, and Jeff Bardach (one of Judge Gail’s favorite sons) of Bardach Awards quickly agreed to mint the medallion.

The idea is to send Carmel residents scurrying to every Carmel park in search of the prized bauble. The finder will find himself or herself the recipient of a trip to a four-star Florida resort (airfare included) for four.

We and Clarian North are popping a new clue each day onto our respective Web sites (currentincarmel.com and clariannorth.com).

Try it, you’ll like it.

We hope it is an enjoyable hunt, one through which families or groups of friends come together for fun (you might as well take advantage of our wonderful parks system as we send you hither and yon in search of the medal).

We’ve seen this work quite well in another city, and the buzz it created was phenomenal.

Parade Director I coordinate all aspects of the parade. This includes screening applicants, developing a parade theme, and coordinating all of the various police, fire, and safety personnel.

Previously, I was the Carmelfest Chairperson for three years. I have a great sense of satisfaction giving back to the Carmel community.

For years, the Carmel 4th of July Parade has been one of the great family traditions in our community. Every year spectators set out their chairs and blankets hours before the parade begins so that they can secure a good viewing spot.

In 2007 we are continuing this great tradition with the St. Vincent’s Heart Hospital Parade at CarmelFest. With the help of our parade title sponsor, St. Vincents Heart Center, CarmelFest will once again present the people of Carmel with a wonderful parade.

This years theme for all of CarmelFest is “We the People…”, which will pay tribute to our nation’s heritage. You will notice the entries embracing this theme and they promise to deliver a fun and entertaining parade.

This year’s parade will be reminiscent of the small town parades that have been a unique part of Americana for generations. Our entries will include marching bands, motorcycle drill teams, Native Americans from the Eiteljorg Museum, Civil War re-enactors, classic cars, clowns, floats, and some other surprises, and of course, candy for the children.

The parade will begin at AAA Drive and Carmel Drive at 10:30 AM, and will proceed west to Rangeline, and then north on Rangeline to Main Street. It will then head east on Main Street and conclude at Carmel High School.

There will be a reviewing stand again this year in front of Shapiro’s. The parade will be video taped and broadcast later on Brighthouse Cable Channel 16. We anticipate that the parade will be concluded by 12:00 PM. Thank you in advance for attending our 2007 St. Vincents Heart Center Parade at CarmelFest. We do this for you, and seeing you at the parade is our reward.

H

IT’S OVERWHELMING, THEORETICALLY SPEAKING

and over the Nobel Prize in mathematics, people, ’cause I’ve just discovered a new theorem that will have parents everywhere applauding my brilliance. I call it Kid Theorem 2.0 (my first one didn’t pan out quite like I had hoped) and it will revolutionize the stay-at-home mom lifestyle.

Kid Theorem 2.0, or “More is Less” as it’s known on the street, states that with each child over the age of 30 months added to a group of children also over 30 months placed in a confined space, one can subtract two from the new sum total of children. For example, if I have four children in my house, (ages 8, 5, 5, and 3), and their cousins come over to Danielle play (ages 6 and 4) Wilson along with one neighborhood friend (age 8), then the total number of children bugging me to play UNO for the 43rd time in a row is now one. In essence, the two older cousins and the kid from next door cancel out all but one of my precious little angels.

Many of you play-date-wise parents are probably already familiar with Kid Theorem 2.0. Alone, a pre-schooler can wear you ragged with his constant pleas for “Entertainment ala Mom” and his never-ending proclamations of boredom. Invite a friend to play however, and suddenly your child is nowhere to be found, not even when you try to take a hot bath or attempt to read a trash novel. In the world of school-aged kids, mathematics

O

enters a new dimension where one plus one actually equals zero.

I should also mention Kid Theorem 2.0’s pals, Toddler Corollary 6.4, which states that for every child under 30 months added to a group of children, the new sum total must be multiplied by 4/3, and Toddler Corollary 6.5, which reiterates 6.4 but multiples the new sum total by pi if staircases are present.

See, young toddlers are a whole different ballpark. Attempt a seemingly-harmless babysitting gig with two 18-month olds and I guarantee you’ll be drinking cooking sherry and eating raw cookie dough within the first hour because you feel like you’re watching five kids instead of two. That’s because younger children have the courage to attempt dangerous stunts like climbing the pantry shelves but not the intellect to know it’s a bad idea. Plus they have an uncanny knack for suckering other unsuspecting toddlers into daredevil acts that even Evil Knievel would label as “foolish.”

Believe me, how my twins survived the “Terrible Two’s” is still a mystery, as they repeatedly tested the natural laws of physics and chemistry with their small bodies and various

kitchen utensils.

Infant Postulate 1.3, of course, states that each child between the ages of 48 hours and 10 months who is thrown into the mix counts as only one additional person, unless said infant suffers from colic, in which case you must cube the total sum of children and then subtract its square (Corollary 8.7), or is beginning to walk, whereby one can square the sum and subtract five (Corollary 8.8).

The good news is that Tween Theorem 12 demonstrates how one 11-year-old girl can solve all your problems. Find one of these gems and you’ll be whistling Dixie as she entertains your young ones for hours on end, not just because you’re paying her a measly two bucks an hour, but because she actually enjoys it.

So what’s all this math mumbo-jumbo mean to you? In a nutshell, if your babies are still in diapers, you’re basically screwed for another couple of years. After that, play dates will become your salvation. Peace out, SMOC’s!

GIVING HIS ALL FOR CARMELFEST

ver the years, I have witnessed volunteers come and I have watched them go.

On several occasions, I have observed someone new to the area burst onto the hard-work-for-nopay scene, diving into several projects all at once.

Since I personally have been known to bite off more than I can chew, I find myself wondering whether the new Super Volunteer can keep up with the heavy demands. In Jeff Worrell CarmelCan! a few instances, my skepticism has proven justified as the new volunteer has a career adjustment, suffers a life-altering change or

just plain old burns out, leaving the organization high and dry.

But Carmel is fortunate to reap the benefits of a hard-working, dedicated volunteer by the name of Gary Frey. Gary is a local life insurance representative, and I first saw him charge headfirst onto the Carmel volunteer scene about two years ago. He started off by accepting the position of facilities manager for Carmelfest 2006. A huge undertaking for the most seasoned festival veteran, Gary and his assistant Dick Gilday stepped up and worked beyond anyone’s expectations to provide all of the small details that make Carmelfest a crowd-pleaser. The two of them could be counted on to provide a solution when any challenge or obstacle reared its ugly head.

This year, Gary Frey is the co-chairman of Carmelfest. As the second in command, Gary is handling many of the day-to-day details that for the average volunteer would be viewed as a full-time job. For Gary, it is on-the-job training as he prepares to take over as Carmelfest

chairman in 2008.

But Carmelfest is not the only group benefiting from his endless energy. He also serves on the Carmel International Arts Festival Committee and spends a significant number of hours working for the good of the Rotary Club of Carmel. He is involved in other local causes and is just one of those rare people that seem to always say yes. Thanks, Gary, for being a Yes Man. Jeff Worrell is a local business owner. He recognizes volunteers on “Connecting with Carmel” on Cable Channel 16. Contact him at jworrell@ advantagemedical.com.

A memorial service for former Carmel High School Principal Dale E. Graham will be at 7 p.m.

June 12 at Carmel United Methodist Church, 621 S. Range Line Road.

The memorial service will honor Graham, who died May 11 at the age of 81, and who served as Carmel High School’s principal for 25 years. Graham retired at the end of the 1988-89 school year.

Father Steve Fales of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Carmel will officiate.

Because his church is undergoing renovation, the service has been moved to Carmel United Methodist, which has a larger sanctuary, Fales said.

Carmel High School Assistant Principal John Abell said many of Graham’s former colleagues and students expressed an interest in a local service after they were unable to attend Graham’s funeral in Fort Wayne.

“I think the memorial for Dr. Graham will give many former staff and students and friends the opportunity to pay tribute to a wonderful man and great educator who had a tremendous impact on the Carmel community,” Abell said.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

KLINGENSMITH RETIRES AFTER 36 YEARS WITH CITY

possible traffic change during mid-week, traffic heading westbound on 116th Street from Range Line Road will need to start using the far right lane. An arrow board will be in place and signage will help direct traffic.

Dave Klingensmith will step down as Carmel Street Commissioner July 6, retiring after 36½ years of service to the community.

Wanting to spend more time with his family and his aging mother, the Carmel native also plans to work on volunteer projects.

“It has been a great privilege serving the citizens of Carmel for the last 36½ years. I have truly enjoyed my time with the city and all of the people I have worked with throughout the years,” he said.

Klingensmith’s family has lived in the Carmel area since 1854, farming land at the southwest corner of Meridian and 116th Street.

Before holding the position of street commissioner, he spent 16½ years in the Carmel Police Department, joining the force in 1971 as a patrolman. He was later promoted to major in charge of uniformed personnel. In 1987, he transferred to the Street Department as commissioner, where he has stayed for the past 20 years. In 1999, Klingensmith was awarded the Street Commissioner of the Year Award for the State of Indiana.

Mayor Jim Brainard said the city has benefited greatly from Klingensmith’s time serving Carmel.

Here are some of the road projects going on in Carmel. For full details, visit the city’s Web site at http://ci.carmel.in.us/services/ roadconstruction.htm.

This closure will be necessary to complete the realignment of Third Avenue SW with Fourth Ave SW to eliminate the two turns necessary to continue north or south through this corridor. This project includes curbed roadway, sidewalks and an underground storm sewer system. This project is anticipated to be completed early this month (weather permitting).

116th Street, College Avenue to Range Line Road: 116th Street will be widened to a fourlane curbed, boulevard style roadway with multi-use paths on both sides. Improvements also include a new storm sewer system, a new bridge carrying 116th Street over Carmel Creek and a tunnel to allow the Monon Greenway to pass under 116th Street. Work this week will concentrate on preparing the west bound lanes from Range Line Road to Ralston Avenue to open to traffic. Work continues on the Monon Trail tunnel. Be aware of the

city council plays musical chairs With the resignation of Carmel City Councilman Brian Mayo in District 3, Eric Seidensticker is eligible to take Mayo’s place pending the results of a caucus to be held on June 21, MAYO according to Charlie White, the Hamilton County Republican Party chairman.

Mayo is resigning to take a firefighting job in South Carolina.

White received Mayo’s resignation letter effective June 10.

“Any talk of an earlier resignation has not reached me yet,” White said. White is optimistic that Seidensticker will fill the spot with the support of Mayor Jim Brainard and himself.

“While it’s unfortunate that Brian is leaving before his term is over, we wish him the best in his new job and thank him for his service,” Brainard said. “I am supporting Eric Seidensticker as Brian’s replacement for the remainder of the year.”

Earlier in the week, John Accetturo stepped in to fill the vacancy left by Mayo.

Accetturo was unable to fill that vacancy for the remainder of the year because he lives in District 2. As a result, the primary winner for that district, Seidensticker, is now eligible to run in District 3.

136th Street, (Ditch Road to Oak Ridge Road): 136th Street will be reconstructed, from Ditch Road to Spring Mill Road, as a boulevard style roadway with a grass median, concrete curbs and gutters, underground storm sewers, and asphalt multi-use paths on both sides of the road. 136th Street is scheduled to close to through traffic from Oak Ridge Road to Six Points Road on or after June 4. Traffic will still be able to go north and south through the intersection of Spring Mill Road and 136th Street.

136th Street and Oakridge Road Roundabout: A roundabout will be constructed at the intersection of 136th Street and Oak Ridge Road. Illinois Street will also intersect at this roundabout from the south when completed.

Improvements include: concrete curbing, asphalt roadway, and an underground storm system with a box culvert for the creek at the intersection, and multi-use paths.

Old Meridian Street, Pennsylvania Street to

Guilford Road: Old Meridian will be widened to two-lanes in each direction with a curbed grass median, multi-use paths on both sides, curb and gutter and storm sewers. Improvements include roundabouts at Old Meridian’s intersections with Pennsylvania, Main Street and Guilford Road, as well as a traffic signal upgrade at Carmel Drive. Construction continues under traffic on the project.

Towne Road from 116th Street to 126th Street, including a roundabout at 126th Street: Towne Road will be reconstructed, from 116th Street to 126th Street as a boulevard style roadway with a median, concrete curbs, underground storm sewer, and asphalt multiuse paths on both sides of the road. The intersection of 126th Street will also be constructed as a roundabout intersection; this is being constructed by the adjacent developer.

The anticipated length of the project and closure will be 45 days from the start of the closure, which is dependant upon access to the grounds and utility relocations as necessary. Please anticipate a detour route to be in place prior to the closure directing traffic to utilize Shelborne Road via 131st Street and 116th Street to navigate around the closure.

All access to private or public facilities will be maintained via the detour route.

remembering falwell Reagan.”

Sadly, “Fundamentalist Preacher” has become an invective used to describe Falwell, as if there were something wrong with believing in and preaching the truth of the Bible; The Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), the Deity of Christ; Bob Walters the virgin birth; the Spirituality fact of Christ’s death, burial, resurrection and ascension; the reality and presence of the Holy Spirit; and that Christ died for our sins, defeated death and gives us everlasting life with God the Father in Heaven.

Falwell preached that you have to have faith in Christ, and follow Christ, in order to enter into the joys of Christ.

Too many of us want the joys, without faith and following.

Yet, those are the fundamentals.

Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com), a Carmel resident, wonders where the country would be spiritually if Falwell hadn’t created the Moral Majority. His views do not represent those of this newspaper.

Family Members: Nicole and Brad Todd; Brandon, 8; Justin, 13; Samantha, 11 Residence: Smokey Ridge Way, Carmel Members of: Carmel United Methodist Church Why the Todds worship at CUMC: Our family felt at home from the first Sunday we visited CUMC almost 10 years ago. It has become a second

home. Our children have been baptized and confirmed there and given many opportunities to connect with God. For our family, church is more than going to worship on Sunday mornings.

CUMC has provided us the opportunities to participate in Sunday school, vacation Bible school, United Methodist Women, missions, Bible studies, and children and youth ministries. We are blessed that our family can continue to strengthen our relationship with God and grateful for CUMC.

fter reading numerous obituaries following Jerry Falwell’s death May 15, this news surprised me: How well liked and admired Falwell was by people who actually knew him.

I guess that explains how Falwell built Thomas Road Baptist Church, Liberty University and the Moral Majority when so much of the world saw him only as a big pain in the neck.

You wouldn’t necessarily pick up this virtue from watching him preach on TV, because he seemed harsh and unyielding, if truthful and faithful. On that score, TV didn’t do him justice. Yet I am glad some writers took the time to point out that he was a warm, personable and eminently likable guy. Up close he was so obviously and profoundly a good man on a mission for Christ.

I’m sure he was warmly welcomed home.

Falwell won the respect of his enemies, most notably the profane and recalcitrant Larry Flynt. Falwell seemed like the type who held a grudge. He wasn’t. What a great witness for Christ.

Of all the obits I read — suffering the many “we’re glad he’s gone” sentiments — I thought the best (and most fun) apologetic came from Ann Coulter in her May 16 column (anncoulter.com, archives), “Jerry Falwell, Meet Ronald

Falling off the hipness curve

W

’here American Popular Culture is concerned, I have given up, thrown in the towel, called in the dogs and put out the

fire. Also quit.

I simply have no desire to waste any space in my brain on Britney Spears, Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan. I am behind the hipness curve, and I love it.

And it’s not just about The Three Stoogettes.

Look at other ways I seem to have fallen behind the times: 1. I have never seen a “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie.

2. I didn’t see Mike Redmond ‘Spiderman,” “Shrek,” Humor “Spiderman 2,” or “Shrek 2” until they came out on DVD, and I have no intention of seeing “Spiderman 3” or “Shrek 3” until they do.

3. I have no idea what it’s like to watch “American Idol.”

4. Likewise “Dancing With the Stars.”

5. Or “The View.” Although from what I see online, it looks like I missed a pretty good

snarling match between Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck the other day 6. Let’s face it, I just don’t watch TV or go to the movies much.

7. Or listen to the radio. I have no idea what’s popular on Top 40 Radio right now.

8. Or country radio. Or talk radio.

9. My iPod playlist is nonexistent, seeing as how I don’t have an iPod. Actually, this list could keep going. I could easily devote another 10 spaces to song titles that make no sense when I try to read them.

Then again, that could be a matter of getting my bifocals adjusted.

I am gloriously out of step with America’s All-Celebrity-All-The-Time, Entertainment-IsEverything culture.

Ah, but it was not always so. There was a time when I was Living The Dream. I had the hip clothes, the cool job, the hair down to my shoulder blades (it was the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and besides, I had hair to spare back then). And I had near-encyclopedic knowledge of What Was Hip. And now I can see that it was WAY too much work. And for what? To keep up with some trend, some fashion, some fad that’s going to last a few years — or less? How dopey I was.

It has to be even more difficult these days. Thanks to instantaneous worldwide communication, the lifespans of some trends

can now be measured in minutes. If my sister’s kids are any indication, keeping up appearances is practically a full-time job.

You know, it would have been nice if someone had told me all this stuff when I was young. Then again, I doubt I would have listened. You can’t take advice from people who aren’t on your wavelength (parents, in my case). Wait a minute. It just dawned on me that they probably DID say it, and it probably went in one ear and out the other, and as a result I spent the next 30 years learning the hard way.

Oh well. I’m over it now. What, you need more proof? OK. Here is the proof that you

can’t get more un-hip than me: 10. I still call my CD’s “records.”

My sister’s kids think this is hilarious.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to check the movie listings. Not that I’m going out or anything. I just like to know what I won’t be seeing, and I love to do it with my computer.

Hey, I may be unhip, but I’m not Amish.

The curriculum of comedy

I

have decided to return to teaching part time. I was a high school teacher during the ’70s, but I knew after 10 years of the same grind there had to be more to life than stress and anxiety, so I got into television where there was more to life than just stress and anxiety.

There was also jealousy, backbiting and a lot of stealing of my lunch out of the WISH-TV refrigerator.

The course is titled “The Art of Writing

Funny,” and it sounds to me like it will be a popular class, but it also may end up being a dumb idea.

I remember years ago there was this fine restaurant in town and the chef thought it would be cool to teach a cooking seminar on how he prepared his signature dishes at a fraction of the cost he charged in his eatery. All his best customers took it and two months later his restaurant went out of business. I think he should have seen it coming.

So if I am really good at teaching this, I will be creating would-be humor columnists — men and women who will be competing for my space in local newspapers. My success

could destroy me.

But, if I am unsuccessful in teaching this course, I might be releasing 20 or 30 people into the world who now mistakenly think they are funny. That’s enough people to ruin perfectly good cocktail parties throughout Dick Wolfsie Indianapolis, annoy Humor innocent relatives at holiday get-togethers or embarrass themselves at office Christmas parties.

By the way, the course I am teaching is in the adult learning program. To prepare properly, I was required to take some in-service instruction at the university to enlighten new teachers on the difference between teaching children (pedagogy) and educating adults, which is apparently called andragogy. I had never heard that term before, nor had spell-check on my computer, nor my proofreader, nor my 1968 Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

When the professor asked me in class if I knew what andragogy meant, I told her it

was a lifeform from “Star Trek” that had both male and female parts but overall possessed a Klingon personality. No one else thought that was funny, but I’m the one who’s going to be teaching a comedy class, not them.

The course stressed that the method of teaching adults is “totally different from teaching children.”

“Do you understand that, Mr. Wolfsie?” I was asked.

“Like, totally,” I said, which made it seem like I was back talking to children again.

The methods and approaches now advocated for teaching adults seem similar to the way I used to conduct my class back in the ’70s. Oh dear, that means when I was supposed to be doing the pedagogy thing, I was really doing the andragogy thing, which is maybe why the students at New Rochelle High School were always looking at me like I had both male and female parts.

I’ll be teaching this course at the University of Indianapolis in the late fall. I’d tell you their Web site so you could register, but that would be very pedagogical of me. I want to facilitate you to discover the Web site on your own.

That would be very andragogical.

You’re never too old to learn.

TUBE STEAKS — MAY I BE FRANK?

h, summer is here, and most everyone is eager to fire up the grill.

Look, there’s probably some danger in everything we humans do. Call me a traitor if you like, but America has been misled by slick Madison Avenue advertising to believe that the hot dog is the Holy Grail of American culinary pop culture. It’s downright un-American to go to a ball game and NOT eat a few pups and slake your thirst with Wendell Fowler a few cold brews.

As you chew, savor this: The Department of Agriculture confirms that hot dogs contain scrumptious skeletal muscles, pork stomach, yummy snout parts, intestines, spleen and lips. Urp! Americans eat more than 16 billion scrapfilled hot dogs each year and will passionately defend to the death their right to eat or die from whatever the “%*@%” they want, thank you!

Nibble on this: The Global Healing Center study found that children eating more than 12

hot dogs per month have nine times the normal risk of developing childhood leukemia.

A strong risk exists for those children whose fathers’ intake of hot dogs was 12 or more per month. Call me a party pooper, but celebrating a family event with a food we know will cause disease seems, well, wrong.

Like blowing second-hand smoke in your child’s face, serving them hot dogs might be considered child abuse or attempted murder because of the leukemia connection. Hot dogs may also be contaminated by listeria; an aerobic parasitic bacterium.

Tube steak also contains nitrites, which are used as preservatives, primarily to combat botulism. During the cooking process, nitrites combine with amines naturally present in meat to form carcinogenic compounds.

Nitrites can combine with compounds in the human stomach to form known carcinogens that have been associated with cancer of the oral cavity, bladder, esophagus, stomach and brain. All cured meats contain villainous nitrites, including bacon and fish, according to

the Cancer Prevention Coalition at the School of Public Health in the University of Illinois Medical Center.

Read labels. Request that your supermarket have nitritefree hot dogs available.

Contact your local school board and find out whether children are being served nitrite hot dogs in the cafeteria, then politely request that they use only nitritefree hot dogs. It’s urgent that parents re-evaluate the meat being fed their children. These meats also contain antibiotics, growth hormones, sex hormones, colorings, pesticide residue and other charming chemicals.

Write the FDA and express your concern that nitrite hot dogs are not labeled for their cancer risk to children. You can wrap poop in gold foil and tie a pretty bow around it, but it’s still poop.

We’ve moved our Carmel store to a new Carmel location.

By Gary Hubbard

E-mail has become increasingly more dangerous as a communication tool, unfortunately. Any message that has an attachment is automatically elevating itself into the danger category because of the plethora of attacks that are designed to persuade folks to open an attachment.

In my opinion, e-mail and digital photography have grown apart over the past couple of years, and we all need to think differently about how we electronically share our photos with others.

In the past, attaching a photo to an e-mail message was fairly straightforward and effective. But with all of the image-based spam (and spam filters targeting those kinds of messages), as well as the enormous image sizes being generated by today’s digital cameras, it’s time to change our habits.

If you’re not careful, that single photo attached to a message might clog up your outbox, which will hold up all messages sent after it because the image is too large.

Even if you can send the large file from your e-mail account, your recipient may not be very happy with you because their Internet connection may be slow enough that your single message clogs up their inbox while it tries to download the image.

The bottom line is that avoiding e-mail messages with attachments (sender and

receiver) by finding alternatives is a good idea for today’s Internet users.

When it comes to digital photography, the photo Web sites that allow you to privately share your photos with others make good sense.

Not only can you avoid all of the hassles of trying to get an e-mail attachment around size restrictions and spam filters, you also benefit by creating an off-site backup for your precious photos.

Some of the more popular sites include Shutterfly.com, Webshots.com, photos.Yahoo. com, Flickr.com, Photobucket.com, Snapfish. com and Kodakgallery.com (formerly Ofoto).

Many of our most precious vacation memories have been captured in beautifully and professionally bound photo coffee table books that can be created online at many of these sites for as little as $25 per book (Shutterfly. com) once you have uploaded your pictures.

By getting familiar with these sites, you can privately or publicly share large quantities of photos with a large number of people because you bypass all the limitations imposed by e-mail (and your friends and family will thank you for it!)

BANK PRESIDENT ENDOWS SCHOLARSHIP Symphony Bank President and CEO Jeffrey L. Hale has endowed a $25,000 scholarship to Purdue University’s College of Agriculture, from which Hale graduated in 1995.

The scholarship is reserved for a graduate student studying in the agricultural field and will be matched dollar-for-dollar through a special scholarship program challenged by Indianapolis business and civic leader William E. Bindley and his wife, Mary Ann. Earlier this year, Hale received Purdue University’s prestigious Apex Award, in recognition of his accomplished career in banking.

“As a community bank president and Purdue alumnus, it is my duty and pleasure to give back to the university that helped me build the foundation for my career,” Hale said.

“I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to recognize the efforts of young students and help them achieve their full potential.”

Last fall, Purdue University unveiled “The Campaign for Purdue,” a seven-year $1.3 billion fund. To date, the campaign has raised more than $600 million. As a participant in the campaign, the College of Agriculture hopes to attract the most talented students, augment graduate student support, and enhance the cultural diversity within the department.

Hot water extraction or steam cleaning is not a recommended cleaning method. Cushion casings should not be removed and laundered or dry-cleaned.

BUILDING BETTER CALVES: Remember that “Entourage” episode where Johnny Drama ponders getting implants to enhance his scrawny calves? Turns out that plotline may not have been so absurd: According to a new study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, calf augmentation is now the second-fastest-growing form of male cosmetic surgery.

Here are the top five male procedures, ranked by increase in popularity between 2005 and 2006. 1. Pectoral implants: Up 99 percent. 2. Calf augmentation: Up 49 percent. 3. Thigh-lifts: Up 39 percent. 4. Face-lifts: Up 25 percent. 5. Breast reduction: Up 22 percent.

RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK

If you’re a fan of barbecue, you’re going to love Big Hoffa’s, which is located in front of the Westfield Antique Mall on S.R. 32 (you’ll notice the smoker out front). Owner Adam Hoffman (aka Big Hoffa) has created a unique flavor to his food by slow-cooking the meats; up to 24 hours for the brisket, for example. The beef brisket is tender and flavorful, and the pulled pork is fantastic. The BBQ sauce is sweet and really adds to the taste sensation. The fries are out of this world and have no trans fats, so enjoy. In addition to sandwiches, Big Hoffa’s offers ribs and an assortment of sides, including California Cayenne potato salad, crispy California Cole slaw, brown sugar baked beans, macaroni and cheese and garlic butter rolls. Catering also is available.

your plants want (rain) water

W

ater all you care to with your fancy garden hose and ergonomically correct attachments and still the prized pots of annuals and newly planted hydrangeas struggle to shine. Yet, all it takes is a simple downpour of God’s rain and everything blooms and is washed clean. Refreshed and full of life.

Teeming with vigor and prepared for the next stretch of drought.

Plants, too.

Try as we might, we just can’t compete.

Here are a few watering strategies that will favor your plants: • Pots and hanging baskets demand a daily drink and sometimes two. Be certain to include the Randy Sorrell slow release water Outdoors gelling agents in the soil amendment.

• Have you just installed sod or grass seed in an area? If so, daily watering is critical, particularly with seed. If the soil becomes dry,

even once, likely your previous efforts have been wasted. Be especially diligent if it’s a full sun area and/or on a slope. TIP: Set up hose sprinklers with a timer.

• Landscapes planted this year, and even last summer or fall, require TLC. Properly planted and well-mulched trees, shrubs and perennials prefer watering two to three times a week. For trees, set the hose at the base of the tree on a sloooow trickle for 20 minutes so the entire root ball becomes soaked. Shrubs

and perennials appreciate their drink at the base of the plant with an extension wand on the gentle rain setting so that the root systems aren’t damaged with pounding water. Ten to 20 seconds per plant will do. The larger the root ball, the longer the watering cycle.

Smaller root balls dry out quickly and require greater frequency. Cycle through the plants a second time.

Just like people and families, some plants require a little extra love and attention. Dog-

Family is why

we do It all.

woods, hydrangea, rhododendrons, azaleas and one- to two-gallon container perennials have vulnerable root systems. Healthy roots are the foundation.

Feeling a little dehydrated? Need some moisture? Pray for rain.

Asthma is the leading cause of school absences and pediatric hospital stays. It can be difficult to recognize because asthmatic children may be able to breathe normally most of the time. But respiratory problems, like coughing during exercise, can be a sign your child may be asthmatic. Take the following quiz to find out if your child might have undiagnosed asthma: 1. Does your child have colds that last an unusually long time or go to their chest?

yes no 2. Does your child cough themselves out of sleep when they have colds?

yes no 3. Does your child cough hard enough to interrupt them when exercising? yes no 4. Has your child had pneumonia more than twice?

yes no 5. Have you ever heard your child wheeze?

yes no 6. Has your child ever been treated for eczema?

yes no 7. Is there a family history of asthma (biological mother or father)?

yes no 8. Does your child have a runny nose all the time, even without a cold? yes no If you answered yes to two or more questions, talk to your pediatrician about your child’s symptoms. Find out more about asthma symptoms and treatments by visiting clariannorth.com.

Coughing during exercise can signal more than a cold.
