OUR VIEWS

It is our opinion that the decision of Goshen College to ban the Star-Spangled Banner before sporting events was a poor one that may have some unintended consequences. It is understandable that the liberal arts school, which has a focus on ministry of the Mennonite Church USA, has a strong focus on promoting peace. However, banning such an iconic symbol of our great nation does not accomplish this. Moreover, it slaps in the face all those who have served in our military and puts their lives on the line or given their lives so that we may have that much desired “peace.” It is reasonable that a group of college students might shortsightedly make such a statement without fully recognizing its impact; but it is inexcusable for the college’s Board of Directors to support such a decision. This governing body should have known and predicted what negative impact this might have created. Our position isn’t intended to suggest that a student’s opinion should not be voiced or heard. But the college has chosen to utilize claim this action as free speech and now must face whatever backlash or response that comes with it. And we hope it is significant.

Use your head

It is our position that we must take responsibility as parents and caregivers to ensure our children stay safe while riding bicycles. Statistics show helmets are the single most effective way to prevent head injury resulting from a bicycle crash. According to Riley Children’s Hospital (iuhealth.org), children under 16 account for half of the nation’s 500,000 bicycle-related injuries each year. Correctly-fitted and properly-positioned bicycle helmets are proven to reduce the risk of fatal head injury by 75 percent and reduce the risk of brain injury by 85 percent. Yet, a glance into most neighborhoods reveals very few children and teens are wearing helmets while riding their bikes. Convincing kids that wearing a helmet is “cool” can certainly be a challenge. However, we owe it to ourselves to try. There were two bills that died in the Indiana General Assembly, SB0353 and HB1141 that would have made it a law for children under 18 to wear helmets while riding their bikes. While a law would make it easier for parents to enforce helmet usage, there is no indication of when and if such measures will ever be passed. For now, it is up to us to set a good example and perhaps wear one ourselves.

FROM THE BACKSHOP ‘Gimme back my 1 percent, then’

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg ••• CarmelFest 2011 gets under way Sunday at noon, and we’re counting on you to take advantage of all the entertainment, vendors, displays and fireworks through Monday night. Inside today’s paper, you’ll find all the details in a special section cobbled together by managing editor Jordan Fischer. He and our art director, Zach Ross, along with the reporting team and assistance from CarmelFest, have assembled what we believe to be a meaningful and useful guide to “The Greatest Festival in Indiana.” We’re proud to have Current be a leading sponsor again. Let the fun begin (and all those who have given selflessly of your time, take a bow)!

everyone is eager to rub elbows with the who’s who of the United States government. The qualities that stand out most has little to do with a person’s political affiliation, but everything to do with the way Lugar carries himself and interacts with others. The man is very charismatic, yet virtuous. He is always relatable, despite more than four decades in politics. Genuine honesty is hard to come by in the political world, but Lugar achieves this by always putting others above himself and his personal self-interest. As citizens, it is our responsibility to make sure to elect individuals that will represent our best interests. I am determined to find and introduce local politicians that share Lugar’s passion and expertise to you. As you celebrate this Fourth of July, remember not only the troops and military personnel that protect this country, but the elected officials that help make a positive difference at home.

By Ellen Kizik Current in Westfield I’m a political science major from Butler University and I try to stay out of politics. However, as a result of last week’s Indianapolis Star layoffs, there are few left to cover any aspect of politics in the Hamilton County community. The lay offs are unfortunate, but can easily be overcome with pertinent reporting of local developments, which I plan to do at Current Publishing. I care. The moral fiber of society directly correlates to the elected-representatives that make decisions on our behalf whether on the city, state or national levels. “Mankind will never see an end of trouble until lovers of wisdom come to hold political power, or the holders of power... become lovers of wisdom.” - Plato, The Republic I am not saying a philosopher makes for a great politician, but there needs to be a level of wisdom one exhibits to make a person qualified to represent a constituency. There is one man that comes to mind who exhibits many of the qualities I respect and expect to see in a politician. That man is Sen. Richard Lugar (R -Ind.). In the fall of 2005, I interned for Lugar on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and I got my political fix. There is static in the city’s air and

So the vaunted National Football League team owners and the players, so far, cannot get together on a plan that would allow the 2011 season and the 2012 Super Bowl to be played. If, for some reason (greed by both sides), an agreement doesn’t materialize in time to allow for a season and the Lucas Oil Stadium-hosted Super Bowl, we want our 1-percent tax on food and beverages returned to us, post haste. The tax (Do you even remember it?) was levied back in 2005 to help fund the stadium and attract the spectacle that is the Super Bowl (and untold millions of dollars in economic influx for the metro area). Now, it’s this simple: Get it together, play the season, have the Big Game™ and keep the dough. You’re welcome. Screw it up, gents, and we’re gonna start asking questions of Hamilton County and local municipalities. (Begin to shudder in boots here.) Don’t say you weren’t warned. In all seriousness, that’s YOUR money and OURS. If the game doesn’t come off as planned, we will be asking you and restaurant and bar owners to join us in a food-and-beverage tax strike. Do you believe the restaurants and bars will lock us out? Think again. They’re NOT the NFL.

Marriage is a page-turner COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson Harry Potter taught me a valuable lesson in marriage. Being in the same story as your spouse doesn’t mean you’re on the same page in your lives. I’m a speed reader when it comes to easy fiction, and I have a tendency to skip whole paragraphs if they are too descriptive in nature. Who cares if the gentle breeze carried the heady scent of wisteria and lilac? However, Doo takes in every detail and savors passages like he’s eating a double scoop of butter pecan ice cream. As my husband would hear my reactions to funny or sad chapters, he would yell, “Stop reading, and wait for me to catch up.” I just couldn’t, I’d waited a whole year for this book. So we spent most of that weekend frustrated with each other because we literally weren’t on the same page. I’m telling this story because marriage means you and your spouse can be on different pages. You can even be on different a chapter, and that was the case on our recent family vacation. Doo and I simply could not get in sync. He arrived mid-week, which may have been part of the problem. I felt like I was on page 298 of Parenting while he was on page 105; I was already on Chapter 20 of the Hilton Head Summers while he had just started chapter four. I wanted to keep the pace I set, but Doo kept yelling for me to slow down.

By Jordan Fischer Current in Westfield As of July 1, Hoosier motorists caught texting while driving could be facing a traffic violation ticket, and a fine of up to $500. The new law, House Bill 1129, makes it a Class C infraction to use a telecommunications device to type, transmit or read a text message or email while operating a motor vehicle. Proponents of the bill say it’s a first step in reducing thousands of collisions on Indiana roadways every year because of distracted drivers. In 2009 alone, distracted driving crashes cost the state $257.5 million. Some, however, say the law doesn’t go far enough, pointing out that while texting is banned, GPS applications to web surfing, will remain perfectly legal. There is also no provision which would prevent drivers from talking on their cell phone while driving. The law may also prove as difficult to enforce as a 2009 ban on teens texting while driving, which has netted only a handful of tickets since it came into effect. Law enforcement officers are not permitted by the bill to confiscate telecommunications devices for the purpose of verifying that texting did occur, leaving the question open as to how a determination of unlawful texting will be made.

We bickered over the amount of supervision our pre-teens needed, whether to enjoy the morning at the pool or at the beach, and how we wanted to blow our vacation budget for 2011. Three days later, and halfway through a 14-hour car ride home, we finally shared the same pace. Our conflicts stem from our contrasting personalities. I’m a control freak who enjoys sitting on my butt reading smut novels. Doo is an impulsive extravert who needs to be swimming, fishing, or doing something to vacation properly. He’s the fun dad, I’m the mean mom. But to have our differences manifest on a trip stinks like our gecko’s aquarium (Still alive! See below!). Although, with communication and patience, harmony can happen. We eventually were able to end up on the same page in the same book (“Budgeting the rest of 2011”). Peace out.

Boy Scouts travel the world for the ultimate badge COMMENTARY By Jeff Worrell A Boy Scout is always prepared, but Carmel Boy Scouts will be proving their skills in a major challenge. After months of training and preparation, four Carmel boys are taking their skills across the world. The scouts are taking the trip of a lifetime to the 22nd Annual World Scout Jamboree in Sweden. The campground, near Kristianstad in Sweden is relatively close to the Baltic Sea, which promises to make this camping experience much different than any Midwestern challenge. Kyle Ellis, Joseph Nardi, James Wooldridge and John Wooldridge will be accompanied across the pond by Scout Leader, Joseph Nardi. Once on the ground, the group of five will merge 40,000 campers. Scouts from 114 different countries will come together in this event that only repeats once every four years. The theme for this year’s jamboree is “Simply Scouting.” The event meetings immerse participants in the natural environment and encourage solidarity between Scouts of all ages from all countries. There will be many events at the World Scout

Jamboree to encourage learning about different cultures. These include shows, musical performances, team challenges and sporting events. Carmel Scouts will live in a small camp in the southern part of the country for two days to experience Sweden’s great outdoors. The goal of this World Jamboree is for Scouts to meet, understand and become a friend to Scouts from other countries. The boys will use all of the skills they take with them and return with a new perspective about their place in the world. I know they will leave Sweden and return to Carmel a better Scout, having forged new friendships and lived in solidarity celebrating a common theme. They will be able to continue living the experience upon their return to Carmel through Facebook, Skype and You Tube, tools most likely not yet referenced in the Scouting Handbook.

Artist paints into world of floral By Ellen Kizik Current in Carmel A Carmel artist has been painting the city for 40 years and now she’s introducing new paintings to the community. R. Carol Skinner has created three city composites of notable Carmel landmarks.. The freelance artist works with several mediums, but prefers to paint with oil. Her area of expertise is architecture and urban landscapes, but as a realist, she enjoys exploring other subject matter, and experimenting with different techniques. Skinner is a Herron School of Art graduate and a true Hoosier who has focused on commissioned projects in the past. This month Skinner is displaying her latest creations in the World’s Smallest Children’s Art Gallery in Carmel. She said sharing her art is important because she feels some artists are too selfish. “Many are just out for themselves,” she said. Beginning July 5 Skinner will display her paintings, which are inspired by Dutch and Flemish painters, as well as French impressionists. She said she has a special appreciation for John Singer Sargent. Skinner has illustrated several books and book covers, she is currently working on a book that is twelve years in the making. Skinner also uses her paint brush as an educational tool. She currently teaches painting classes at the Indianapolis Art Center where she guides students to express themselves through art. She said the results have been unbelievable. “I steer them a little in their interest by analyzing what they want to get out of the session,” she said. “I assist them with setting certain reachable guidelines and parameters they can work with.” Skinner’s latest endeavor is expanding her artistic interest from watercolor to florals. She said her work is inspired by the spring and summer seasons. Skinner’s paintings will be on display in the World’s Smallest Children’s Art Gallery at 40 W. Main St. Carmel from July 5th through July 31st.

Historic Steinway piano arrives at Feinstein collection By Courtney Stiehl Current in Carmel The Michael Feinstein Collection at the Palladium received a century-old Steinway piano recently. Five former First Ladies have signed the piano. The collection, formed by famed singer and pianist, Michael Feinstein, features memorabilia from the Great American Songbook Doris Anne Sadler, the executive director of the Michael Feinstein Foundation, said receiving the piano as

part of the collection was a fantastic honor. “The piano is significant in its own right because of the work that Steinway and New York City put into restoring it,” she said. “It’s a beautiful, historic piano.” She said Feinstein played the piano at the Ronald Reagan Centennial last February, which celebrated what would have been the former president’s 100th birthday. The piano was built in 1911, the year Reagan was born. It was there that Feinstein and former first lady Nancy Reagan, who he said is a good friend, planned to obtain the signatures and auction off the piano. Sadler said the signatures and Feinstein playing the elegant instrument at the centennial made the piece an even greater treasure. The piece will also be featured on an upcoming Steinway Magazine cover, furthering its significance. Proceeds from the piano’s auction will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association, an organization close to Nancy Reagan’s heart because President Reagan died from the ailment.

Barbershop takes donations for homeless veterans By Courtney Stiehl Current in Carmel Bill Bledsoe, a barber at Carmel’s Main Street Barber Shop, encourages citizens to drop off food, household and hygienic items for homeless veterans at his shop. Donations go to the Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation, an organization that provides homeless veterans with supportive services and transitional housing. A truck can be sent to pick up large items like furniture. Bledsoe said many people don’t understand the impact of the problem; homelessness threatens some veterans upon returning home, some facing divorce or depression after serving. He said the HVAF provides structure to these veterans. “They have to follow guidelines,” he said. “They want to better themselves.” A veteran himself, he said the program allows him to help service men and women because injury prevents him from serving again. Last January, he helped set up a barbershop at

the downtown facility to give the homeless vets haircuts. He said this support “makes them feel good just like it makes us feel good.” The HVAF transitional housing program is expanding in September to include 42 new apartments. Bledsoe says he needs local residents’ help to fill the rooms with household items, like microwaves. For more information, visit www.hvafofindiana.org or stop by the barbershop.

Todd Card writes the frights of life into works of fiction By Jordan Fischer Current in Carmel Todd Card fled the coal fields of the Appalachian Mountains at 13, hitchhiking a third of the way across the nation, from Virginia to Indianapolis to escape an abusive father. Now 42, the Carmel resident has treaded back to his childhood home for the setting of his first novel, “Hell Cometh,” released in May by 8 Publishing. An apocalyptic vision of the American East, the novel pits a ragtag group of survivors in a small Appalachian town against an encroaching zombie horde. “Zombies, to me, kind of epitomize the world coming at you,” Card said. “Each one is an individual fight you have to overcome. They represent the guttural, visceral being inside us all. In a way, they represent the worst of us all.”

Never in a million years “I never saw myself being a published author,” Card said. “Frankly, I saw myself as dead.” After arriving in Indianapolis, the barelyteenaged Card found work busing tables and washing dishes. Eventually, he was hired on with the Mayflower Moving Co. to assist in long distance moves. “I got a chance to see the country, and to meet all kinds of people, good and bad,” Card said. “A lot of that has gone into my writing. The fiction of it still can’t touch what I’ve seen in real life, though. I’ve been beaten with a crowbar for a day’s wages, I’ve been stabbed… my father ended up beating my mother to death while she was in a wheelchair.” It was the death of his mother that finally prompted Card to pick up the pen and begin writing. At the time, he was nearly immobilized from an injury, which broke his back and neck. The writing, he said, proved to be exactly what he needed. “Every story I write is therapeutic,” Card said. “I find myself… with each story I write, I become lighter and lighter.” Card says he sees that happen on a reader’s level as well. “When life’s rough, if people can lose them-

selves into a deeper level of sorrow that’s fiction, it makes life not so bad,” he said.

From hospital bed to book tours “Ten months ago, I was concentrating on walking,” Card said. “Now, I’m doing book tours.” His life has certainly changed a lot since he ran away from home. He now lives in Carmel with wife Tammy and two daughters, Kristyn and Kathryn. The latter he’s helping to put through culinary school. Rather than washing dishes and lifting furniture, Card now spends his days writing and editing his work. By this time next year, he plans to have released two more books: “Cheating the Dead” and “Hideous.” He has modeled his writing routines after his favorite author, Stephen King. “I get up first thing in the morning and make a pot of coffee, and then I write all day, everyday,” Card said. “The words just flow. I never have a problem.” In fact, Card says he sleeps with a notepad and tape recorder near his bed, so that if something comes to him in a dream, he can go “straight into writing mode.” Since its May release, Card’s book has sold several thousand copies, and to readers as far away as Australia. He attributes much of its popularity to word of mouth and social networking. Some of his fans have even taken it upon themselves to create a fan site for the book, and have sent Card photos of themselves holding “Hell Cometh” – often in full zombie attire. “I wanted to give people something they could walk away from feeling like they’d really digested something substantial,” Card said. “People are telling me this is exactly what they’d been waiting for.” Through July 3, Card will be signing books at the “Days of the Dead” convention, held this year at the Wyndham Indianapolis West hotel, 2544 Executive Dr., Indianapolis. Copies of his book “Hell Cometh” are available online through Amazon or www.hellcometh.com.

Auto-Correct: What it says about you GRAMMAR LESSON By Brandie Bohney Last week, I discussed the dangers of posting to Facebook without checking your spelling and punctuation. This week, I’m addressing another technological-driven issue: auto-correct. There’s a website dedicated to funny autocorrected text messages, and I’ve perused it a time or two for a chuckle. Things like, “it’s raining hats and figs,” (instead of “cats and dogs”) and, “I got fired today” (instead of “firewood”) are some of the featured auto-corrections gone wrong, and the ensuing comments from the other person texting are usually just as funny. Now, I’ve discovered a new kind of correction on my phone, auto-correction with a memory. My phone keeps a running tab of words I use often. I sign my emails BB, and now auto correct gives me BB as an option when I type B. Handy. Also, my first and last names both have unusual spellings, and auto-correct now recognizes the correct spelling of both names as an option when I start with Bran or Boh. Sweet. What may not have occurred to you in this wrinkle of auto-correct functioning is when you use vulgar language regularly; it’s going to regularly appear on your phone as an auto-correct option. If you aren’t carefully reading things before you send them, you may accidentally tell other people – your parents, potential employers, your pastor, your boss – that you use the f-word (or another unsavory word) frequently in your text messages, emails, and status updates. That may not be something you want certain people to know. Much like swearing out loud, certain groups of people are going to accept the language as normal and other groups will not. In fact, there’s a lot of research about gaining social acceptance via the use of swearing. So let’s be clear: I’m not exactly telling you should never swear.

» Nominations wanted – The Autism Society of Indiana is accepting nominations for its 2011 Excellence Awards through July 9. Categories include excellence in early intervention, excellence in advocacy, self advocacy, excellence in family leadership and excellence in direct care. The awards dinner will be held Aug. 20 in Zionsville. Learn more about the awards at www.inautism.org. Submit nominations to kylee2381@yahoo.com.

What I am telling you is like swearing out loud, you have to be careful about when and where you’re uttering those words. You have to be able to temper your use of cursing depending on your audience. If you’re swearing frequently in text messages and emails to friends, it’s more likely that auto-correct will have you swearing in text messages and emails to family, employers, or even clergy. Ouch. So you have three options: stop typing swear words and other inappropriate language or take two extra seconds when you’re typing to check what you’ve written. The third option? Do both. It’s the safest and surest method to keep swear words from autocorrecting their way into your typing.

Want to burn calories at rest? Read this! COMMENTARY By Laura Marenco Many of us know that as we age it gets tougher to fit into those skinny jeans we love so much. Obviously, lack of exercise is to blame, but what we’re losing when we cut gym time is lean muscle. Muscle is the core to regulating your body and your weight. “Your resting metabolic rate drops two to three percent every decade after the age of 20, typically due to a loss of muscle mass” says Pamela Peeke, MD, a Pew Foundation scholar in Metabolism and Nutrition and author of Body for Life for Women. When you do the math, this means you’ll have a four to six percent slower metabolism in your 30s and an even slower one once you hit 40 or 50. But, you can win against weight gain as you age by building muscle in the gym, firing up your metabolic burn during cardio and fueling up with clean meals. You can keep your metabolism at its possible highest no matter what age you are. Here’s how to do it. Strength training is the absolute best way to maintain and build lean muscle tissue, which

speeds up our metabolism and burns calories, even at rest. “Muscle mass is terribly important and is the one significant element of metabolism that can be changed,” says Peeke. Lifting weights stresses and breaks down your muscles, which respond by building more muscle cells to compensate for the new loads being placed upon them. These new cells require energy, and burn three times more calories than fat cells, even at rest. So what about doing long cardio sessions? Those burn calories, right? Right, you do burn calories, but once you stop your heart rate goes back to normal and that’s it for the caloric burn. On the other hand, if you are lifting weights, the caloric burn will last for hours post-workout because your body is working hard at repairing itself. Shoot for three days a week of weight training followed by 30 to 40 minutes of cardio to rev up that metabolism, eat clean and age gracefully. Laura owns a Personal Training studio in Carmel, runs Fit Carmel Moms bootcamp, holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and is a nutritional consultant at Point Blank Nutritition.

DISPATCHES » Hear ‘White Christmas’ after coffee? – Scientists from La Trobe University said they found that people who self reported that they were stressed and consumed at least five caffeinated beverages, including coffee, a day were more likely than people who were neither stressed nor heavy caffeine users to believe they heard bits of music (Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas”) in what was actually pure white noise played through headphones for three minutes. Despite some limitations, the findings are consistent with previous research, including a 2009 survey finding that people who drank three or more cups of brewed coffee a day were three times more likely to report hearing and seeing things that didn’t exist. -www.time.com » Tasting fat linked to weight control – Studies indicate that people who can “taste” fat in rich food are better able to control their weight, compared with those who merely sense it through smell and texture. “This could explain why fat-free foods are not as popular as full-fat foods,” said a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. -HealthDay News

» An oil that trims waistlines – In a recent double-blind study, researchers evaluated the effects of coconut oil and soybean oil on the biochemical profiles and waist circumference on 40 obese women, aged 20-40. The women received a daily supplement of 30ml (about two tablespoons) of either soybean oil or coconut oil. They also followed a balanced low-calorie diet, and walked for 50 minutes per day. The coconut oil group presented: increased levels of HDL (good cholesterol), decreased LDL/HDL ratio, reduced waist circumference/abdominal obesity. The soybean oil group presented an increase in total and bad cholesterol, a decrease in good cholesterol and no reduction in waist circumference. -www.mercola.com » Bad gums linked to E.D. – Periodontitis, an inflammation or infection of the gums, may hamper your sex life in another way: it may be a cause of erectile dysfunction, a new study suggests. The results showed that periodontitis impaired erectile function in rats. The findings agree with a previous study that showed periodontitis is more common in men with erectile dysfunction than men without erectile dysfunction. -www.livescience.com

Nuts and bolts of veganism COMMENTARY By Courtney Stiehl The quest to become a healthy and happy vegan (for a month, anyway) remains tricky. Thus far, it has been a learning experience rather than a change of health. So, I thought I’d share some information I’ve picked up now that I’m halfway into my June-long journey. First off, I’ve never admired those who adhere to this strict plant-based diet as I do today. I applaud them for their discipline! Many do it for a passion for animals, so the lifestyle moves beyond a diet to a philosophy of pro-animal rights. These people can be categorized as “ethical” vegans. This camp avoids clothing and hygienic items made with animal products. Others give veganism a shot to improve their health. These are “dietary” vegans. I fall into the latter category. I’ve continued to eat honey because of this, as some dietary vegans do. Abstaining from honey proves difficult on a dairy-free diet because it’s in many of the wholegrain cereals I’ve become dependent on. Mostly, I don’t see the point of giving it up. I’ve also continued to wear my leather purse and normal cosmetics throughout this exploration. Still, I’ve strictly kept dairy, eggs and animal everything (except honey) out of my eating habits. One saving grace has been Amy’s frozen foods. The organic, vegetarian brand’s burritos, lasagnas and stir-fries delighted me before the

switch. Now, they’ve become essential when I’m tired of preparing meals. One of my favorites, rice macaroni with non-dairy Daiya cheese tastes better than the real thing. Prepared foods that don’t contain animal products deserve rejoicing over. I tried a vegetarian/vegan restaurant while visiting Bloomington last week. The Owlery Restaurant introduced me to tempeh, made from fermented soybeans. This differs from tofu, which is made by curdling hot soymilk. In the Carmel area, I haven’t located an all-vegetarian restaurant. But, some places have a specific vegetarian or vegan menu upon request. If one isn’t available, it’s difficult to be sure about what can be consumed. So, I typically eat at home. Still, going vegan continues to get easier than it was years ago. As the diet becomes trendier and a sustainable, organic food movement continues, more vegan brands are emerging. Vegan websites showcase plenty of creative recipes. Several readers have introduced me to these and some local vegans’ blogs. I appreciate this encouragement!

Do I really need flood insurance? INSURANCE Q&A By Jamie Ianigro Question from Juliana P. from Carmel: All this crazy rain lately has me worried that I need flood insurance. We have a basement and have never had any problems in the 10 years we’ve lived in the house. What do you think? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Issues: The first thing you need to know about flood insurance is what the policy covers. A flood insurance policy will protect your property from flooding accompanying hurricanes, heavy rains and melting snows. A standard homeowner’s policy specifically excludes coverage for all of these things. Some insurance carriers will add flood coverage with an endorsement to your homeowner’s policy, but usually you will have to purchase a separate policy. The other thing you need to know about flood insurance is what it doesn’t cover. Flood insurance doesn’t cover water that rises up through your plumbing. This type of loss is protected by using an endorsement to your homeowner’s policy called sewer and drain backup. A loss from sewer and drain backup can be just as damaging as a flood loss. Coverage Recommendations: Most of Hamilton County sits in a moderate-to-low risk area when it comes to flood risk (you can check your risk at www.floodsmart.gov) and qualify for coverage at the preferred rate. Preferred rate policies are the lowest premiums available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This

policy will protect your house and its contents starting as low as $129 per year. It takes 30 days after purchase for a flood policy to take effect, so don’t wait until the water starts rising. Sewer and drain backup coverage is a simple endorsement that you may have already included on your homeowner’s policy. Standard coverage usually starts with limits of $5,000. If you have a finished basement, $5,000 is not going to get you back to where you would like to be. We usually recommend upgrading that coverage to $10,000 to $25,000 to make sure you are adequately covered. Higher limits are definitely available. Claim Prevention: The most important thing to know is when to cut and run. Your family’s safety is much more important than a house or anything you have in it. The steps you can take to prevent flood claims are pretty easy and you’re probably already doing them. First, make sure your sump pump is working and has an adequate battery-powered backup, in case it loses power. Next, make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris and obstructions. Last, make sure your downspouts are getting water far enough away from the house that the water is not returning. Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Financial Services.

DISPATCHES » Skin-firming habits – Two structural proteins serve as the MVPs of skin firmness: collagen and elastin. External factors such as pollution, sun exposure, and smoking produce free radicals that destroy them. Kick that smoking habit, use a daily sunscreen, and avoid fad diets. Rapid weight loss or gain contributes to skin looseness and sagging. Maintaining a healthy, consistent weight will promote supple skin long term. -www.elle.com » Salvage your wood floor – Gum or wax on your wood floors? Cover the stain with a sealed ice pack to make it brittle enough to break off in pieces. Do the same on plastic, laminate, vinyl, or linoleum, but be especially careful when scraping it off (try a plastic scraper or credit card). And on any flooring, finish the job by wiping the area clean with a damp cloth to get up any residue. -Consumer Reports

DESIGN Vicky Earley Andrew Wyeth once said “Some artists think every work they do is a work of art, I say keep working and you may produce a work of art”. That is about as close to a definition of “good art” as you will ever hear. Good art is elusive and ambiguous. It depends on the circumstance and the beholder. It depends on the time and it depends on the mood. In reality, good art and Jell-O share similar definitions…is it or isn’t it? You can’t hold it, but you can enjoy it. Art is that critical element that turns a house into a home. It is about the memory or the emotion that was experienced when the art was first found or created. Every piece of art should tell a story regardless of how humble the beginning. One of my favorite art sources is the handwritten note. Nothing is more poignant and graphic. I love to take words of wisdom from a father and frame them with layers of mat board in a size far beyond the actual size of the letter. Another fabulous art source is a child’s painting. This does not need to be the product of a budding art major, simply an innocent expression of the moment.

It is all about the framing. If this is simply popped in a readymade frame from the hobby store, it won’t do the job. It needs to be announced in a frame and matting that takes the size far beyond the original rendering. Both of these examples of good art involve capturing a moment or memory that will evoke a smile and make a decorating statement. As an interior decorator, I allow art to take a room by surprise. This means using art that is not necessarily blended with the room. An example is a monochromatic, traditional setting that is ambushed by several large modern paintings that don’t match the style or color of the room. Instead, they act as the visual guide through the space. While the accepted conditions of beauty, composition, rhythm and color manipulation all contribute to the formation of art, it’s the elusive element that causes a leap in the imagination provoking “good art.”

Common misconceptions about puppy diarrhea COMMENTARY By Dr. Greg Magnusson FICTION #1: “Parvovirus has a distinctive smell. In fact, if a puppy with diarrhea doesn’t smell a certain way, he doesn’t have parvo”. FACT: Oh, if only life were that simple. The scent generally associated with parvo is caused by blood in the stool. Dogs with bloody stool from hookworms have the same odor. If a puppy is diagnosed with parvo before there is blood in the stool, the chance of antivirals being effective drastically increases. FICTION #2: “There aren’t any worms in the dog’s stool”. FACT: Adult worms intend to stay inside the body. The only time you see part of a worm outside the body is if the worm excreted part of its body or the entire worm is dead and passes in the stool from deworming. Roundworm, hookworm and whipworm adults stay in the body. They can only be found in lab studies of feces. FICTION #3: “A breeder dewormed the dog; therefore, the pet doesn’t have worms”. FACT: The vaccines breeders give puppies can only fight

www.youarecurrent.com

against roundworms and hookworms; they are only effective when the vaccines are given in a series. Those vaccines don’t touch whipworms, giardia, tapeworms or coccidia, all can make a puppy gravely ill. Most worms take about three weeks to develop from an egg into an adult, and all dewormers only kill the adults. FICTION #4: “Parvo is the only potentially deadly diarrhea disease of puppies.” FACT: Dogs have died from hemorrhaging provoked by a hookworm infestation. Some dogs have starved to death from an overwhelming amount of roundworms.Coccidia can kill dogs from a debilitating, dehydration-inducing illness.

Pets of the week LuLu is a 2 year old female white with tan Smooth-coat Collie mix. LuLu is a very outgoing girl who always seems to have a smile on her face. She truly enjoys human companionship and she really likes belly rubs. She is gentle when taking treats and she knows the commands sit and down, but she is very smart and would do well in obedience training. She gets along with most other dogs, but she would prefer a home without cats. LuLu is house trained. Velvet is a 2 year old female black DSH. Velvet earned her name because her fur is velvety soft. She has gorgeous gold eyes and she is a petite little girl only weighing about 7 ½ pounds. She is friendly and gets along with other cats and she is litter box trained. Velvet has been at the shelter since early November, so she is more than ready to find her forever home with a loving family who wouldn’t mind having a super soft kitty on their lap once in awhile.

Sexy pergola fun COMMENTARY By Randy Sorrell Summer and SPF go hand in hand. Just as weather heats up, so does the discussion about sun safety. SPF refers to the sun protection factor mysteriously embedded in suntan lotion. SPF is changing trends and peoples’ views on sun health. Remember when having a bronze tan was super cool? The scientific reality is that pasty is the new cool and tan is anything except hot. Holes in the ozone, global warming and an army of left-wing scientists are going to like my idea of SPF. My translation for SPF is Sexy Pergola Fun. Ours hovers over a massive grill station, it supports three hanging-baskets and it’s loaded with twinkly Christmas lights in another five months. It’s often the ceiling of our fun. Think of a pergola as a dappled SPF 20. The not-so randomly staggered overhead members designed to prompt subtle shade also enhance the outdoor room sensation many are starved for. Specialized spacing calculated by an internet program can produce almost complete shade, if that is the objective. To paint or not to paint is a prevailing debate. Painting immediately formalizes the structure and ties it to the home. Left natural, it leisurely blends in to the surrounding landscape and friends joining your party, just bring

a bottle of something. Cedar is the material of choice for local pergolas. Pressure treated pine, Brazilian hardwood, synthetics and steel are commonly discussed alternatives, but they are rarely employed. Customization is easy with end details, arches in the beams and trim strategies on columns. Most guys just don’t get it. “It doesn’t keep out the mosquitoes, the rain or the sun… I just don’t get it”. “Of course you don’t dear” is the impromptu reply. Weeks later the project is complete and an “ah ha” moment is born… he gets it. Face it ladies, most of us are cosmopolitan neophytes. Still, the pesky sun penetrates too much for many, and more substantial solutions are necessary. “Solutioneering” has fueled custom lattice, outdoor drapes, formalized canopies and other edgy SPF safeguards. Anticipate those in a few weeks. Until then have some sexy pergola fun!

Tile is the overwhelming style COMMENTARY By David Decker Ceramic and porcelain tile present the most mesmerizing array of style, texture and design options for any surface commonly underfoot. Tile’s variety and consistency match up with its durability and easy maintenance to create a dependable, creative and classy bottom line in any room. Although it’s appropriate anywhere, tile is typically chosen for kitchens, bathrooms and entryways. Choosing between ceramic and porcelain tile is determined by how well the available colors and textures complement the home improvement project’s design. Ceramic and porcelain tiles share similarities, but there are differences in the materials, appearance and pricing. Ceramic tile is made of clay and mixed with various minerals and water. It’s baked like clay and it’s glazed with a “design layer” that determines the color, design and texture. Porcelain tile is composed of fine-grain sand and manufactured with pressure and heat, making it dense and durable. Porcelain will last longer than any other non-tile flooring. Its density makes it an easy surface to clean.

Every Tuesday

A beneficial feature for porcelain is its “through-color,” meaning the interior of the tile is the same color as the surface. Some porcelain tile has a different color glazing and design surface; however, throughcolor porcelain hides chips and scratches better than glazed ceramic tile. It’s harder than ceramic tile and it’s more difficult to cut, handle and install. Both ceramic and porcelain are man-made and its thickness can be counted on, unlike natural stone variation. Among the most ancient of fabricated flooring materials, tile has been made its mark on time and it never goes out of style.

Wishing him well

COMMENTARY By Dick Wolfsie I’ve probably called my friend, Bob Haverstick, at home several thousand times over the past 10 years. He never answers because he is on the phone making an appointment for a feisty octogenarian to get a rose tattoo on her shoulder, or arranging for a 93-year-old woman to hit a baseball during an Indians pre-game at Victory Field, or making it possible for a World War II veteran to board a battleship like the one he served on 60 years ago. The list goes on. Since the year 2000, Bob has spent each day granting wishes to seniors and terminally ill adults through the organization he founded, Never Too Late. But he’s no Percy Ross. He never had the money nor the inclination to simply dole out cash. Instead, fulfillment of each final request has been the result of the vast array of contacts Bob has built over the years—people eager to assist in making dreams of our aging population come true. “I just connect the dots,” says Haverstick. “As soon as I hear what the wish is, the adrenalin flows…. There is no time to waste.” Indeed there isn’t, and Bob knows that many of the people who have benefitted from his time and generosity may soon pass on. “Knowing that we were able to tie up loose ends for someone is so important, even more important to the loved ones in that person’s life.”

In fact, it is usually friends and family who make the initial appeals. “People of that generation are so unselfish they wouldn’t think to ask anything for themselves.“ Which is why there were times when Bob thought his concept lacked merit. “Back in 2000 the wishes just weren’t coming in,” he remembers, “and I was ready to ditch the whole idea.” Enter former Indianapolis Star writer Bob Shaughnessy who highlighted the fledgling organization in his column, including the newest wish Bob was working on: Edwin Jackson, suffering with Alzheimer’s, wanted to get back on a tractor like the one he used when he was a farmer. “The man was visibly affected by the whole thing. He was young again. He was renewed.” And so was Bob. He pressed for more than another decade. Some of his favorite wishes? Albert and Esther McDaniel who wanted to celebrate their 60th anniversary by skydiving; Eloise Overdorf whose dream was to ride in a dragster (she was upset they wouldn’t let her drive); and then there was Jimmy Dunham, the on-board mechanic from the 1935 winning racecar at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He wanted to
