COVERPUZZLES STORY

22 2

OUR TAKES Our position is that the proposed county option income tax hike in Marion County reflects a lack of civic leadership and insults Carmel and other contiguous communities.

Mayor Bart Peterson intends to tax workers to “capture” those folks who live outside of the city limits but work within its borders.

He’s doing this in the name of improved public safety.

To be fair, many are up in arms over the seemingly invisible police presence from the over-stretched IMPD officers. Car thefts in the county’s Washington Township go uninvestigated. Meanwhile, an arsonist runs unfettered farther south. And, let’s not be naïve: There exists no 30-foot wall separating one community from another.

Workers and criminals alike fail to follow political boundaries, meaning troubles from one community easily permeate its neighbors. Carmel is not immune.

But the problems with crime in Indianapolis stem from choices made by its leadership and poor management of its already very significant corporate tax revenue. In fact, the Fraternal Order of Police has termed its relationship with Peterson as the worst with a mayor in recent history.

Pensions are unfunded and rank-and-file tensions are high. Peterson needs to lead, not tax, but that certainly requires more effort.

We don’t know if he is up to the task. So far, not so good.

better to ask first It is our position that negative emotions should play no role whatsoever in one’s attempt to seek election to public office.

While good, strong emotions can be powerful elements in the success of a campaign, the reverse often will have a reverse effect.

Campaigns take many forms, and certainly not all revolve around seeking votes. For instance, you might know that certain bloggers are taking off on this, that and the other in extremely negative fashion. Part of that involves a community newspaper – this one.

It has been written that we “gave” advertising to a number of political candidates. We certainly did; we “gave”

the candidates advertising and they gave us money for it in return. The bloggers want you to believe we’re in the power structure’s hip pocket. Not true. One thing they had better believe is this: We’re a for-profit entity. The candidates paid for their ads, just after the invoices went out at the end of the month. Their filings on campaign expenditures were due earlier.

That’s why the referenced postings don’t show the ads as paid. It’s as simple as that.

Perhaps the bloggers would care to prove the ads were free. We’d very much like to see that evidence.

We believe one should ask questions or consider elementary business practices before taking us – or any business – on.

FROM THE BACKSHOP A sign of the times?

Tonight at 7 o’clock in the Caucus Room of City Hall, the Carmel Redevelopment Commission meets in a regularly scheduled session. Among the items that we know will be discussed is signage for the businesses above street level in Old Town Shops at East Main Street and South Range Line Road.

There is strong sentiment on both sides of the issue. Some would prefer that only street-level shops have fixed signage. The idea, they say, is to not detract from the architecture and aesthetic quality of the Pedcor creation, a dandy structure in our opinion, and where we roost. The other side feels slighted, to say the least. It is composed of businesses in spaces owned or leased above street level. Thus far, those businesses have not been permitted to have traditional signage.

Here’s the big question (and please believe us when we state here we’re not alone in asking it; if you don’t believe us, go to the meeting tonight): Why would one of the benefiting parties urge businesses to locate in Old Town Shops and then not allow those businesses to post signs indicating “we’re here?”

It doesn’t make sense to us. It has been suggested we put “oldstyle” lettering in our windows. That won’t work; an attorney in our building has done so, and it’s awfully difficult to read it from the street below. As a matter of fact, the man who installed the lettering for the attorney wondered the same thing.

Neither we nor our neighbors want to turn this corner into Carmel’s Times Square. We would, at best, appreciate the opportunity to have a blade sign installed, or, at worst (and this would “inhale”) be part of two marquee signs, one on South Range Line, the other on East Main.

A friend of ours, who happens to be in the signage business, is fond of saying, “A business with no sign is a sign of no business.” While that hasn’t applied to us — and we’re thankful it hasn’t — it is particularly apt for some of our neighbors, and that’s just wrong. Some folks have taken to putting sheets of paper on the building’s common doors in an effort to alert

WRITERS’ RULES

Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. The easiest is to e-mail it to info@currentincarmel.com. The old-fashioned way is to snail mail it to Current in Carmel, 1 South Range

Steve Greenberg & Brian Kelly visitors to their locations. It is a desperate measure to say, “Hey, I’m here. I really am.”

Moving or starting a business is extremely expensive and risky. Based on nationwide small-business success rates, everyone is swimming against the odds from the start, even those who enter business under the most ideal of circumstances.

“Local government needs to do everything in its power to promote small business successfully, which is a win for both sides,” says RE/MAX Ability Plus Realtor John Pacilio, who owns office space in Old Town Shops. “I had heard that a sign approval in Carmel was a tall task. Now my RE/MAX branch office is a good example, where we are going on nine months without the option of hanging out a shingle for current and new clients to know who or where we are.

Could you imagine a McDonald’s or RE/MAX franchise without a customer-welcoming sign?

Does our great location matter without it?

We need a streamlined sign approval process with open-minded commission members held responsible for their decisions and focused on the big picture. Business success is much more important than the commission’s aesthetic preferences. Tax revenue produced from a strong business is far healthier for Carmel.”

Certainly a compromise can be reached, one in which the aesthetics and business interests are considered on equal footing. That needs to happen tonight. Anything less than that would be government failing business — again.

Can you believe it?

YOUR TAKES ‘MISGUIDED’ ON STANCE

Editor: Your “Our Takes” editorial position on the recent Congressional ban on cigarette ads in women’s magazines is misguided.

You equate this ban to our “refrain(ing) from taking swimming pool advertising in publications where, God forbid, we are duty-bound to report news of drownings, or, perhaps we should scratch advertising from the airlines, because, sad to say, people actually do die in plane crashes, and we report it.”

Let’s think this through. If used properly, according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions, neither a swimming pool nor an airplane kills anyone. Yes, deaths do occur, but they can occur anywhere. If used properly, cigarettes do kill, hence the advertising ban. In your zeal to fight any form of government regulation, you missed the point.

- Andy Ray 46033

A DISSENTING VIEW

Editor: After several weeks of reading Danielle Wilson’s Soccer Mom column, I can keep quiet no longer. I first was bothered by the Mother’s Day column regarding how she could not get away from her kids fast enough — poor Danielle, needs a break, “pamper me” “its all about me.”

Sorry, when you have kids, it is no longer about you. My belief is that our time with the kids is already cut short; less than half of our married life the kids are home. Shouldn’t Mother’s Day be about celebrating with and about your kids?

My kids are incredibly thoughtful and we adore the chance to be together on that special day.

About the column dealing with women getting their sexy back? Please! Opening the door wearing nothing or close to it? Is this REALLY newsworthy? And now a column for guys? This isn’t a couples’ advice newspaper. Mention was made of the husband stopping after work at the bar. ... This article made all guys look selfish and irresponsible. My husband is far more respectful than you are considering, as are many others that I know.

Please consider the material you are offering us in this magazine in the future. I personally have no interest in it and will now begin to throw it in the trash when it arrives.

- Michelle Stone 46033

A POINT WELL TAKEN

Editor: I’m a Carmel resident and a Current in Carmel fan. I wanted to write and share something that happened to me.

While driving home on College Avenue. just south of 116th Street, a car pulled close behind me with flashing lights in its interior, which I assumed to be an unmarked police car. I pulled over, and the car pulled behind me briefly and then sped past. It did a sharp U-turn in the middle of the street and then stopped next to my car, where I was still parked. The sedan of three or four 20-something men rolled down their windows and yelled, “Got a headlight out! You’re

gonna get a fine. Gotcha!” and then pulled away.

Remind your readers, both female and male, that citizens have the right to put on their flashers and keep driving slowly to a well-lit gas station or other public area if an unmarked car attempts to pull the citizen’s car over. A citizen can also call 911 and ask to verify that the person behind them is indeed a police officer.

Just a thought. Hopefully it can save even one person from a potentially dangerous situation.

- Emily Cooper 46032

RULES OF THE ROAD Editor: In another newspaper, a cyclist was quoted in the ‘Let It Out’ section as saying ‘Cyclists are the professional race-car drivers of the Monon, while the rest of you are the brake-riding, whiteknuckle I-465 crawlers. So if you stay out of our way, everything will be fine!’

The attitude that was portrayed in the cyclist’s statement amplifies the need to educate our moving-vehicle society on the safety of all. It should be said motorists can also be accused of being just as self-indulgent when it comes to respecting the rights of cyclists. Having ridden bicycles on streets, I always am amazed at the lack of respect shown to cyclists by motorists.

The State of Indiana should add bicycle safety to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles Drivers Test. By adding the subject of bicycle safety, both sides would become better educated and more respectful of the appropriate manner with which each should be respected on the streets and highways. Further, the inclusion of the information would provide a foundation with which both could be judged. Neither should be above the law. Both should be respectful of the others’ rights.

- James A. Rush 46032

WRONG VIEW ON JACK Editor: I was appalled to read the editorial on assisted suicide. The point is that most terminally ill people do have a choice in ending their life, and there are means to do so. Having never been that ill, I cannot understand that level of pain — some of it physical, some mental.

Having a “Dr. Death” do the work is another story, and in the case of Kevorkian, an illegal and to some an immoral act. Is this a choice argument, and if so, can other than the ill person make the choice? This opens up all kinds of scenarios when someone may decide who dies, when and for what reasons. Sounds like the abortion issue to me.

If one is “pro choice” based on the value of human life, they should be consistent with the choice in all aspects of life versus death.

I especially take issue with Current taking a position on this issue. Making a moral judgment is one thing but promoting it as a public issue is disgraceful.

Assistant Director Children’s Games This is the forth year I have worked in the children’s games at CarmelFest. Along with my Director I coordinate all activities involved in setting up and running the children’s game area. I also contact all the non profit organizations who operate these games during CarmelFest. Without their help we would not be able to have this very popular area at CarmelFest each year. I volunteered for CarmelFest to be more involved in my community and in so doing have received a great sense of satisfaction giving back to the Carmel community.

Fun is the order of the day at this year’s Riley Hospital North Kids’ Zone at CarmelFest! Kids will be on fun overload in the City Hall south parking lot in this year’s CarmelFest fun zone. This year’s CarmelFest will feature some exciting new games along with many of the favorites from past years.

New stuff – Eurobungy-Trampoline and Paintball Practice!

Eurobungy-Trampoline is the latest in interactive sports fun. It’s a trampoline with bungy cords attached to a safety harness so the jumper can jump high in a stable and safe setting. Paintball Practice will give kids the chance to try this fun, growing family sport in a safe environment. And no, they won’t actually be balls exploding with paint, but lightweight practice balls used with targets or in a practice tunnel.

Oldies but goodies – We’ve got: the Sea of Balls, Shoe Basketball, the Spyder Climb, Delux Olympics obstacle course, Speed Ball, Putt-Putt, the Castle Moon Walk, Ring Toss, Tip the Punk, Milk Can Toss, Bowling, and Tic Tac Toe. Why should you come to the Kids’ Zone? Well it’s for all the fun, of course, but it’s also for the prizes! We’ll have a wide variety of prizes and free coupons for your favorite foods and desserts.

Is it free? Well no, it’s not free. You will need to purchase tickets at the ticket tent to use to play the games. But here’s the really cool part. Except to cover costs, the money from the tickets goes to charity, primarily non-profit organizations volunteering to staff the games.

We’ll be up and running for the entire CarmelFest event on July 3 (4:00 PM to 10:00PM) and July 4 (12:00 PM until fireworks). Kids and all, come on down and join the Fun!

TEN THINGS THIS CARMEL SOCCER MOM CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT

very once in a while I catch myself saying, “Thank goodness for [blank]!” So I sat down and made a list of all the things most soccer moms probably couldn’t, or shouldn’t, live without.

After much debate, I have narrowed the list to 10. Here they are.

1. Ibuprofen. Hands down, this is my favorite OTC drug for myself and my kids.

It works quickly on pain, fever, cramps and general ickiness. When Tylenol decides to take off her skirt and fight like a man, I may go back to it, but until then, it’s Advil all the way.

2. Digital cameras. I once calculated that I would have spent well over $10,000 on film and out-of-focus pictures of half heads and nose-pickings with my old 35mm camera. The ability to see and delete pictures immediately is a modern-day miracle.

3. Noise machines. I don’t know how I ever slept without one. I keep mine on “White Noise,” medium volume, for the entire night.

It drowns out all but the most urgent cries in the dark so that I can focus on my husband’s snores.

4. Mini-vans. Four kids, four car seats, standing room, dual-slide doors, decent gas

S

mileage. ’Nough said.

5. Diet Coke. I try to give this up every year for Lent and fail miserably by the first Sunday. Diet Coke is like nectar from the Gods; I live for the taste, the caffeine, and the zero calories it so unselfishly offers.

Truly, a beautiful thing.

Danielle 6. Spanx. The Wilson best piece of lingerie ever invented since the water-bra. Comfortable, understated, and oh-so-effective in keeping the bulges and sags at bay. This ain’t your granny’s girdle!

7. TiVo. I actually don’t have this yet, but from the way other soccer moms talk, TiVo has reinvented the way we plan our days. Ballet lessons conflicting with Oprah? TiVo it and watch it at your leisure. Brilliant!

8. Drive-thru anything. Starbucks, fast food, drycleaners, banks and even pharmacies.

No more hauling over-tired, under-dressed children into a store just to pick up your

husband’s damn necktie or deposit a check that’s already been earmarked for a new washing machine.

9. Magic eraser. I’m sure it causes cancer, but I don’t care. This ingenious material cleans everything from Kool-Aid stains on the counter to dried yogurt on the dashboard (don’t ask).

Cheap, easy to use, and quite literally, the best invention since sliced bread.

10. E-mail. I am not a phone person, so the fact that I can communicate with people on my schedule plus edit my words so that I always appear clever and witty is enough to, well, have me including it in my Top Ten list.

11. (aka Honorable Mention) my husband. If I had to raise four kids alone, I would undoubtedly be an alcoholic head-case sequestered in a white padded cell at Our Lady of Peace Mental Institution on 24-hour suicide watch. Don’t you go dyin’ on me, babe!

What’s on your Top Ten List? If I missed a doozie, please let me know. I’m always interested to see just how crazy I am compared with the rest of normal, conservative Carmel.

Peace out, SMOC’s!

SUMMER TURNS KIDS INTO PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINES

COMMUNITY

A

s I was watching four of my grandchildren today (which I do once a week), it occurred to me that they are in perpetual motion whether by mouth or body.

If their mouths aren’t moving asking for something every two minutes, then their bodies are moving constantly.

Sometimes, miraculously, both mouth and body are going at the same time, times four. I’m happy to acknowledge these are not behavioral Becky Kapsalis Ask YiaYia issues. I’m a once a week anomaly, so they pretty much just have fun here.

Having them 24/7 — like most of you reading this — conjures up a great deal of empathy, especially now that school is out. I wish I could give each of you a break from the perpetual motion. It’s virtually impossible, so I plan on doing the next best thing. Here are a couple of tips I’ve collected over the years to help you keep your cool.

7

• Promise yourself that you will take 15 minutes out of your day to do what YOU want to do for yourself, without guilt!

• A wise mom once told me how she handled the aftermath of perpetual motion. She would ask her children to pick up their toys, clothes, books, dishes, etc. after explaining to them that if she had to pick up after them, those items would be put in “jail” until such time she noticed some (unsolicited) good character choices on the part of the child.

At that time one or all of the items would be released. Your choice. This must be done with firmness and consistency for effectiveness.

Lessons taught:

Co-operation Accountability Respect Experience

It also helps that the children not have an over abundance of “things.” Too much of anything typically generates apathy and boredom.

Unconditional Love being the exception.

BOOK REVIEW Jephte’s Daughter

By Naomi Ragen

Review by Katie Buck, CCPL Readers’ Advisory Librarian

Batsheva Ha Levi is the heir to a 300-year-old Hasidic dynasty. Because her husband will be in a position of great leadership, Batsheva’s father arranges a marriage with an exemplary Talmudic scholar, Isaac Harshen, and Batsheva moves to the strict religious quarters of Jerusalem. Although she is deeply faithful and tries to be obedient to her husband and the Jewish laws, Batsheva is unaccustomed to the restrictions placed on her and is unhappy in the narrow role of wife and mother that Isaac expects. Although unhappy in her marriage, Batsheva tolerates Isaac’s hostility until it affects their son. She then flees with her child to London before finding the courage to return to Jerusalem to confront Isaac.

“Jephte’s Daughter” delves into the lives of women in the Hasidic community. Although the story requires some suspension of disbelief, the characters are lively and engaging and the plot moves quickly. This was Naomi Ragen’s first novel.

he Economist, that staid yet cutting-edge British magazine of business and trends worldwide, reported last month that 50 percent of human beings now live in big cities.

In 1800, the number was 3 percent; in 1900, 13 percent.

This shift toward cities will affect how Christian missionaries will fulfill Christ’s “Great Commission” (Romans 28:19-20) to “baptize … and teach all the world” about the love of Jesus. The thing is, no one is sure exactly how to do that.

History teaches us it is difficult to evangelize cities.

The Economist article notes that cities originally were organized around farming, commerce, transportation, water, security and, significantly, a religion or temple. Yet considering a list of cities in the Bible — Babylon, Ninevah, Tyre, Sodom, Gomorrah — makes me think God isn’t much of a fan of big cities.

The article says that cities today are organized around and nurture secular culture.

In the megacities — think New York, Tokyo, Mexico City, New Delhi, Sao Paulo, etc.

— religion’s influence has all but disappeared.

The organizing community expression is culture, not God. It occurs to me that culture, in this sense, is the culture that provides enjoyment — the arts, museums, urbane pleasures, 150

cable channels, broadband and the like.

Bigger cities equals bigger culture equals bigger enjoyment.

The Christian religion would call that kind of big culture “temptation.”

A Christian’s hope and faith, a Christian’s joy, is in the Lord; in working our faith and being involved in it; in personally engaging and endeavoring to produce spiritual

fruit.

This rush toward cities, even in the poorest cultures where urban squalor is preferable to rural hopelessness, shows that people simply banding together — whether for richer or for poorer — has little to do with producing spiritual fruit.

To figure out how to evangelize megacities, it will take a greater power than us.

Hey, now there’s a thought …

FORMER MAYOR’S DAUGHTER JOINS DISTRICT 1 RACE

By Brandon Bowman Anne Slamkowski filed her candidacy papers June 12 with the Hamilton County Election Board to run for Carmel City Council in District 1.

She will be running against Democrat Sarann Warner and incumbent Republican Rick Sharp.

“The constituents in the area need a voice, and I’m proud to be running to represent them,” Slamkowski said. She is the daughter of former Mayor Ted Johnson, who served from 1992-95.

Anne Slamkowski

“I learned a lot from my father when he was in office and am proud of his time spent serving the people of Carmel,” Slamkowski said. She said she felt it was her time to “give back to the community.”

With the election five months away, candidates are getting their names and messages out to the constituents.

“The volunteers I have are just wonderful.

I have a quite a few working for me, and I am always astounded by their commitment,” Warner said.

Slamkowski’s stance as a true independent is something she feels her constituents should understand.

“What I want the constituents to know is that I’m not backed by any of the parties represented in Hamilton County. I’m an independent voice looking to represent the opinions of my constituents,” she said.

“I certainly respect Slamkowski running as an independent. If someone doesn’t feel like they should position themselves with any of the three major parties then they should run independent,” Sharp said.

Sharp helped forge a compromise that led to the City Council’s approval of the new Central Park. Sharp’s decisions as councilman are likely to come up as issues of this campaign. “I would hope that the constituents would look at my total record instead of one or two instances,” Sharp said.

“I’m not running against people. I’m running for the right to run for the people,” Sharp said.

LEGAL BRIEFS ITEM: Workplace bullying BACKGROUND: We all remember the “playground bully.” Unfortunately, some of them move from class bully to work bully as they grow older.

Recent studies show that half of the American workforce has been the victim of workplace bullying, and that two out of three Americans believe this misconduct should be outlawed.

The “bullying” I am discussing is not simple rudeness, child-like behavior or a management style that holds employees to high standards of conduct and performance. It is intentional conduct that is so outrageous, unwarranted and intolerable that it offends generally accepted standards of decency and creates a hostile work environment — such as extreme humiliation, derogatory comments and threats. This type of bullying is really psychological violence.

Bullying has traditionally been addressed through lawsuits alleging the “intentional infliction of emotional distress.” These normally meet with little success, absent physical

By Douglas Haney, Esq. touching or a discriminatory motive. However, a new weapon is on the horizon. The last four years have seen numerous “anti-bullying” bills introduced in 13 states.

Moreover, employers are beginning to realize that workplace bullying is simply not worth the cost. It lowers morale and productivity, increases employee anxiety and anger, and multiplies stress-related medical expenses and work absences. It also leads to increased workforce turnover and recruitment difficulties.

If you are an employer, now might be the time to add workplace bullying to your employee handbook as a prohibited conduct. If you are a bullying victim, you need to consider reporting such conduct to your employer and/or taking legal action.

“If I had my life to live over, I’d try to make more mistakes next time. I would relax, I would limber up, I’d be sillier than I have been on this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would be less hygienic. I would take more chances. I would take more trips.

I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets. I would burn more gasoline. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.

“You see, I’m one of those people who lives sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I’ve had my moments and if I had my life to live over, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d have nothing else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead each day.

Nadine said she would have eaten more ice cream and less beans. I thought of that as I enjoyed my double-dip of strawberry in a waffle cone, and watched my three kids eat their favorite flavors. Life is short. I don’t want to have regrets when I am near the end.

We went for ice cream every night. We did it for us, but I did it just a little bit for Nadine.

re blueberries the secret to living a long and healthful life?

Researchers from the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center of Aging at Tufts University think so.

The respected research center places blueberries at the top of the “Super Foods” list as No. 1 in antioxidant activity. Antioxidants work by neutralizing unstable free-radical oxygen molecules that can be produced by environmental pollutants as well as the body’s own metabolism.

According to their research, blueberries top the list of some 40 fruits, juices and vegetables in antioxidant activity. Concord grape juice is next on the list, with about two-thirds of the antioxidants of blueberries. Next are strawberries, kale, broccoli, salmon, pumpkin, soy, oranges, oats, yogurt, tomatoes, turkey, green tea, walnuts, and everyone’s favorite — spinach.

Luckily, scientific research consistently demonstrates that eating a diet rich in antioxidants may possibly prevent cancer, heart disease, aging, bladder infection, Alzheimer’s disease, macular degeneration, heart disease, dementia and type II diabetes.

In addition, the “brain berry” has exhibited the potential to improve motor skills and reverse the short-term memory loss associated with aging. The USDA and the National Institute on Aging showed that a diet containing blueberry extracts enhanced balance, coordination and memory in aging adults.

Just enough blueberries to cover your breakfast granola have the antioxidant capacity of 1,773 IU of vitamin E. Be mindful that fruits and vegetables are like super vitamins filled with gobs of diseasepreventing goodies.

Blueberries, particularly wild blueberries, contain five varieties of the photochemical anthocyanin that gives the berry its lovely color.

DivX has just shown off an interesting piece of hardware — it’s first — called the GejBox, designed for streaming various media formats. It has S/PDIF and HDMI and supports a wide array of home network video, picture and audio streaming. It also supports DivX Stage 6 — the new high-def Internet video streaming format and has a Google Video plug-in too.

— Gizmodo.uk MIT TEAM TRANSMITS ELECTRICITY: A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) lit a 60watt light bulb from a power source two meters away and with no physical connections. The “WiTricity” device uses magnetic fields to deliver power remotely. Various methods of transmitting power wirelessly have been known for some time — such as radio waves or Wi-Fi. While those are excellent for the wireless transmission of information, they are not feasible for substantial power transmissions because radio waves and Wi-Fi radiation spread in all directions and vast amounts of power end up being wasted. In contrast, WiTricity synchronizes the charger and gadget to exchange energy efficiently without leaking much power to other objects.

MAKE SURE YOUR PASSWORD IS ROBUST

By Gary Hubbard Here are the 10 most common passwords: 1 — password 2 — 123456 3 — qwerty 4 — abc123 5 — letmein 6 — monkey 7 — myspace1 8 — password1 9 — blink182 (a popular music group) 10 — (your first name) There is always a trade-off between security and usability when you try to protect anything.

This list of passwords shows how common it is for many users to lean in the direction of usability over security. If you are using any of the passwords on the list, it’s time to change.

Amongst the easiest passwords to break are those that use real words, because hackers can use readily available computer programs to run “dictionary attacks,” which try every word in the dictionary on your account. The best passwords are longer (at least eight characters, 14 or more if you really want it to be hard to break), include both alpha and numeric characters and don’t incorporate real words.

Most people use simple words because they are easy to remember, so here are a couple of tips to improve the “quality” of your passwords if you don’t want to remember complicated, random strings of characters: • Insert numeric characters in place of an

alpha character in a real word. For instance, instead of using monkey, substitute a 0 for the “o” and a 3 for the “e” and use m0nk3y (a 3 looks like a backwards capital E). Other substitutions: 4=A, 1=L or i, 7=T).

• If your “easy to remember” word is only six characters, add a couple of digits (like the year of your birth) in the middle: mon61key; and to make it more difficult to break, combine the first two suggestions: m0n61k3y.

• Use your easy to remember word backwards (just make sure it isn’t one of the words on the most-common list, since it will also be obvious to the bad guys) and be sure to add a few numbers. yek61nom.

• Add symbols such as !, ? or $ to the mix: m0nk3y!, ?yeknom, etc.

Changing your passwords on a somewhat regular basis (every three to six months), especially for very important accounts, is also a good idea. Something to consider for those that travel and use Internet cafes, hotel computers or any computer controlled by others: change the passwords to anything that you access while on the road as soon as you get home (or to a known secure system).

refresh YOUR BATTERIES WITH FRESH AIR

t’s time for battle.

It seems as if we are being constantly attacked by polluting messages. Mainstream song lyrics are often degrading, homicidal news stories rob us of hope and restaurants deliver super-sized portions suitable for small countries.

Maybe I’m a little too health-conscious and emotionally driven for the present state of overdose. I’m certainly not old, cold and bitter, just simply fed up with being fed. Disgusted with the Britney Spears saga, Paris Hilton’s reinstated jail sentence and how much each presidential candidate has already leveraged (faith, not money).

Guess what? The Great Outdoors can Randy Sorrell Outdoors rescue our poisoned lives.

Try strolling down Main Street in the Carmel Arts and Design District and poke your head into one of the new art galleries for a bit of culture.

Wander past refreshing storefronts, say

“Hi” to Joe at the butcher shop, sample a little Cajun food and then turn onto the Monon and walk. Just walk without destination and let your shoulders relax, breathe and discover a smile that may have been hidden for a while.

Or head to Cool Creek Park and hike the trails with someone. Any park will suffice as long as there are trees and a place for your shoes to accumulate dirt.

There’s plenty of opportunity for rescue, and perhaps the message is being heard. Don Imus (remember him?) is toast, fast-food joints are adjusting menus, Motown is hot, dress codes enacted, churches enlarged and book clubs are being formed at a record pace.

Or you may have yellow, discolored nails from wearing dark nail polishes. Try products with tea tree oil and nail brightening creams to help clear up the problem. Also, women should take a break from nail polish and let their toenails breath a bit.

Fresh Air This style and color combination is the product of the spontaneity of inventive designs and finishes. The unique nature of the combinations reminds one, in theory, of a breath of fresh air. A current example would be the use of woven twines in tandem with metallic sheens. Fresh color combinations such as green pesto, vibrant yellow and yellow-greens combined with pure pinks, purples and violets, pale blues and snow whites.

RIGHTIES VS. LEFTIES: • Righties — the vast majority of people — have superior communication skills because the left hemisphere of the brain is generally more efficient in processing verbal information.

• Lefties — Lefties are more talented in areas controlled by the right side of the brain, such as spatial awareness, math and architecture. Southpaws are also great multitaskers.

• Fun fact — Men are twice as likely as women to be left-handed.

22 BUYERS GUIDE: BEFORE YOU BUY FALL CLOTHES ...

Every year magazines, stores, catalogs and Web sites are jammed with gorgeous fall clothes. The following information will help women sort through the trends, fads and classics to find fall clothes you’ll reach for year after year.

Jackets Fall is about layering, and the jacket is essential. For year-to-year wear, stick with tailored styles like the one-button blazer and casual jean jackets. Tweed, suede and corduroy are favorite jacket materials for tailored or casual.

The trend over the past few years leans toward snugger fits (no baggy looks) and vintage-y touches (suede patches on the elbow, bomber jackets, “worn” looks).

Menswear prints Menswear or haberdashery prints encompass houndstooth, plaids, pinstripes and checks.

Fall is the perfect season for masculine prints to appear made up in suits, pants, jackets, coats and dresses. When buying classics, remember that you’ll tire of prints faster, so stick with smaller-scales

(pinstripe versus large houndstooth). Pair a feminine top and accessories with menswear for maximum style.

Pants Wearing pants in cooler weather is largely a practical matter (keeps legs warmer!), but they impart tons of style, too. For maximum wear, stick with jeans with a lower waist and slight flare (or bootcut) in a darker wash. Tailored pants in menswear prints are a great investment. Just remember to go with traditional silhouettes that defy trends: cuffs, flat-front or soft pleats.

Colors Although there are always exceptions, fall clothes often appear in earthy hues (olive, chocolate, stone) and jewel tones (deep purple, emerald green, ruby red). Black and navy are always dependable, but don’t be afraid to add shots of hot colors like red or fuchsia and even pastels to your mix. White is usually reserved for blouses in fall (looks great with menswear prints).

NEW HANDS

Boots Boots are enormously popular for fall and winter, so invest in several pair and you’ll always have shoes for this season. Shorter boots with a heel look great with pants. Mid-calf boots can be worn with cropped pants or skirts.

Knee-high boots go great with all types of skirts. Pair your boots with either bare legs or tights to complement the outfit.

CARMEL STUDENTS CAST FOR ‘HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL’

By Brandon Bowman The show must go on for four Carmel High School thespians at American Cabaret Theatre’s production of “High School Musical” this summer. Alex Oberheide, Jacqueline Crites, Meredith Keller and Kelly Krauter all received parts in the production and have ties to Carmel High School.

“High School Musical” tells the story of two students coming together through a love of musicals. The basketball star, Troy Bolton, and the book worm, Gabriella Montez, audition for parts in a musical done at their school. When classmates try to make their audition go sour, the two lead characters resist and stick up for themselves.

Alex Oberheide plays the announcer and

narrates the show from a DJ booth.

“I feel like I really get to have some creative freedom with this character because he wasn’t in the original TV version so nobody has expectations,” Oberheide said.

Jacqueline Crites plays a brainiac in the musical. Acting has been a big part of her life, and she thinks this musical is great because of its good message and upbeat music.

Meredith Keller is the captain of the cheerleading squad in “High School Musical.”

“I never wanted to be a cheerleader, but my mom wanted me to. I guess this is the best of both worlds for us,” Keller said.

The show opens Wednesday and runs through July 15.

The Chequered Flag Cafe doesn’t live up to its speedy name, but that’s better in the long run anyway.

The café, open since 1994, tries to emphasize a laid-back atmosphere.

“We try to not let quality suffer because people want their food fast,” Donna Laing said. They have homemade soups, and the sandwiches are made from ingredients shipped in from the East Coast. “We have a lot of people come back just because we use meats from the East Coast in our subs,” Laing said. The Chequered Flag prides itself on its cheesesteak sandwiches and chicken salad. “There is just a large amount of pride with serving the area for so long,” Laing said.

This meatloaf is extremely juicy, and the potential variety of different flavors is as big as your imagination.

Try American cheese with ketchup and mustard on top and serve with dill pickle chips. Another option might be Swiss cheese and mushroom topping.

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, salt and pepper, and mix well. Pat out meat mixture into a 14-by-18-inch rectangle on a piece of wax paper. Spread cheese over the meat, leaving a 3/4-inch border around the edges. Roll up jelly roll fashion to enclose the filling and form a pinwheel loaf. Press beef in on both ends to enclose the cheese.

Place in a 10-by-15-inch baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Yield: 8 servings
