OUR VIEWS

It is our position that complacency about personal safety is a dangerous attitude, particularly in adolescents and young adults. Headlines, concerning a missing IU student, remind us that safety should not be taken for granted. We need to remind our children to be vigilant. Parents might ask their children questions like “Is it wise to walk streets alone in the middle of the night?” and “Is it wise to trust people you have only just met?” and “How might drugs and alcohol affect your judgment?” While children are young, we are by their sides, guiding and protecting them. As they grow older and more independent, we must give them the tools to make wise decisions for themselves. What should they know? Sad, but true, no one is truly safe anywhere at any time. The National Institute of Justice reported that one in four college women are raped during their college years. The majority knew their abuser and the majority of abuse took place in the victims’ residences. Just as we teach our children to “buckle up” for safety, we need to take advantage of teachable moments to remind them about other dangers. A cautious attitude could prevent another missing person headline.

Breaking the glass

It is our position that the debt ceiling periodically adjusted upward to account for the lack of fiscal discipline by our Washington bureaucrats is a toothless tiger. All expenditures by the federal government are authorized by Congress. This is the same congress that now debates the wisdom of raising the debt ceiling to appropriately recognize the reality of their over spending. We believe that the “debt ceiling” is no more or less than a negative balance record that need not be given the doomsday importance that it now receives. Once appropriated, funds are available to be spent regardless of the “check book” balance. So long as there are those who are willing to loan money to the USA it is reasonable to expect that politicians interested in pandering to special interests with expectation of support for their reelection will continue to spend money that is not now available or likely to be available in the future. Unfortunately, as every undisciplined credit card holder should understand there comes a day when creditors will no longer finance the bad behavior of deficit spending. If our representatives now understand the importance of balancing that “check book” they need to concentrate on defunding those programs that are wasteful, ineffective or overly burdensome.

Today: the Indiana Constitution. Section 12. Substitution of Judges. The General Assembly may provide, by law, that the Judge of one circuit may hold the Courts of another circuit, in cases of necessity or convenience; and in case of temporary inability of any Judge, from sickness or other cause, to hold the Courts in his circuit, provision may be made, by law, for holding such courts.

Volunteerism: The glue that binds

Freedom Run thank yous

First, we had the Fishers Freedom Festival, and then CarmelFest, Noblesville Fourth of July and Westfield Rocks the 4th. Has anybody recovered yet? Is anybody still struggling to regain his or her footing after a glorious (and steamy) Independence Day celebration? We’re certain many of the volunteers are. They worked their tails off during the celebrations, and most had been toiling – often at the expense of personal income for many – for months prior. It’s that can-do spirit, frankly, that moves us and truly defines a community. From the service organizations in Fishers and Westfield to the Noblesville single mom (who paid for a babysitter so she could work for her community’s event), the effort was as stirring as all the fireworks. In particular, the Trash Troopers at CarmelFest – all those folks dressed in camouflage from head to toe – drew our admiration for taking on the stinkiest, stickiest, nastiest, sweatiest job and doing so with smiles. No doubt, volunteerism is alive and well in Hamilton County, and those who participated should be commended for jobs well done. Those folks, more than anything or anyone else, made our events spectacular successes. ••• Photo albums. Remember those from

In response to ‘Are you Goshen me?’ Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg the pre-digital era? Well, we’re hoping you’ll agree to comb through yours to isolate “back in the day” shots from our community. Ideally, we’d like to know “what was here before and what’s here now.” We’re seeking to present an enrichment opportunity for the next generation and also to rekindle thoughts of days long gone. Should you be able to send us a digitized image, you may do so at info@ youarecurrent.com. If you would like to loan us an original, we will scan it immediately and return it to you. We had published some historic photos previously, but that opportunity ran its course. We believe you have hidden gems in those old albums, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to credit you for sharing them with your fellow readers.

Editor, Why is it that we equate iconic symbols of our country with the soldiers who died for it, and not the Wall Street business men who screwed us, or the corporations who flee to other shores in the name of profit, or the politicians who refuse to face the immigration issues because one side wants votes and the other is paid by people who want the unions broken and third world wages in this country?

If we are so blessed to have soldiers who fought and died for our cause, why do responsible adults today, in the freest society in the history of history, merely complain and choose to disagree while our children and our children’s children are threatened by our spoiled, selfish natures. Oh say can you see? Really? We should change our national anthem from the “Star Spangled Banner” to “Gold Bless America” (you know the tune). Gary Levey

American girls COMMENTARY By Terry Anker Once an artist creates – then sells for a sturdy profit – a work, does that craft remain attached to the one who made it? Could a painter, offended by the style in which it was presented, demand that the purchaser stop showing the work to others? Could a clothing designer mandate the return of a garment if she didn’t like the politics of the person wearing it? Or, could an architect petition the destruction of a building if he were dissatisfied with the tenant who occupies the edifice? Following a long and storied tradition of artists claiming the “return” of property from those with whom they disagree for one reason or another, musician Tom Petty recently ordered that Presidential nominee, Michelle Bachmann, stop allowing one of his songs to be affiliated with her campaign. It seems she was not what he had in mind when he penned“American Girl.” On the other hand, during the last Presidential election cycle he claimed Secretary of State Hillary

Clinton was an appropriate muse for the tune. While I don’t really care about Mr. Petty’s politics, or the fact he felt it necessary to issue a press release regarding Ms. Bachmann to scores of media outlets to share those views with us, it is somewhat concerning folks who, live like rock stars because of the sale of their intellectual property, attempt to continue to exert control over it long after it has become a part of the common lexicon of America. Petty’s attempt to silence supporters of Bachmann is kind of petty – and, almost feels like an attack on free speech. I know little about Bachmann but am confident that Petty is not interested in buying back my copy of American Girl even if he doesn’t like the way I use it.

Beer garden adds zest to CarmelFest By Courtney Stiehl Current in Carmel Sun King Brewery provided CarmelFest attendees with local brews for this year’s big event. Its beer truck, complete with beer tabs on the exterior, boosted the popularity of the performance stage area. Eric Fear, a sales representative from the brewery, says the tabbed beer truck is one of the two within the company. Some features of the truck were custom made before the festival. He said the truck is the company’s baby. CarmelFest’s organizers approached the company in order to keep the venue local, he said. Although Sun King has been featured at festivals before, this was their first year at CarmelFest. The brewery shared their tent, exclusive to 21 and older crowds, with a local winery. Fear says the live music and fun atmosphere kept the workers content throughout CarmelFest. “People are happy to be here, and they’re happy to get beer,” he says.

and slightly larger shape, that called to me like a siren more than a decade ago. Now, my most flattering accessory was seeping an oily liquid and staining one of my all-time favorite shirts. My next thought, damage control. I look at my two summer school students, a boy and a girl. I’m not concerned about the 16-year-old girl, she’ll understand. However, the boy could present a very awkward challenge. Luckily, he is engrossed in his algebra. Thank God for the relative lack of observation skills in young men. I immediately slipped on my trusty cardigan and situated a couple of Kleenex in key locations to lessen the flow of old gelatinous fakeboob substance. Momentary crisis averted, now what about the loss of this dear friend? How will I replace her? Can she really be replaced? I think not. There’s a new Victoria’s Secret bra that gives nice padding for us A-cuppers, but it’s not the same. We’ve been through a lot together, my bra and I . . . weddings, Colts games, a funeral or two. She’s not just an article of clothing, but a holder of memories. Today I will throw her away. So I look down, mutter a heartfelt farewell and will myself not to cry. Peace out.

COMMENTARY By Danielle WIlson A sorrowful goodbye all began in the restroom at work when I splashed water on my shirt. I assumed; the spot would evaporate from my favorite shirt in a few minutes. So, I head back to my-classroom yes, I’m a teacher, but my school is at an undisclosed location in Indianapolis; so, there’s no need to fret about the liberal damage I’m inflicting upon your children. Later that day, I went to the office to chat about a student with our secretary and guidance counselor; however, the conversation quickly turned to me and my water-splashed shirt. I wasn’t concerned they noticed my bathroom sink mishap until I looked down. The small spot had grown into a large circle just below my bust line. Slightly embarrassed, but amongst women, I add “Sure takes me back to my breastfeeding days!” We laughed and shared stories of lactation leaks and moms who took breast feeding a little too far. Like the woman who nursed for six years, with the same kid. I can’t decide whether I should be amazed or appalled. Now I’m off topic. Another time, another article. Let’s get back to me and my wet shirt. Once I return to my desk, I take a quick peak and confirm my suspicion: My beloved water bra of 11 years has finally thrown in the towel. Each strap has been relying on safety pins for some time, but the cups have maintained the natural

Philanthropies in new places

COMMENTARY By Jeff Worrell The beauty of the place is not really about the shiny new building and the latest modern fixtures that will be dedicated this Saturday. The real beauty of the OLMC Mathew 25 Center comes from the words heard repeated inside the shiny new building. “Don’t worry about how you will pay. It is free.” On Saturday, July 16, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. on the campus of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Carmel, people from every corner of Hamilton County and of many different faiths and backgrounds will gather to officially dedicate a dream over 10 years in the making. Providing a multitude of free services to thousands of people in need in Hamilton County, the Matthew 25 Center is home to two organizations; the Merciful H.E.L.P. Center, which conducts 21 different outreach service ministries, including Hamilton County’s largest food pantry; and the Trinity Free Clinic, a free acute medical and dental clinic for the uninsured. “As our community has grown over the years, so have the needs of its people” said Father Richard Doerr, Pastor at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. “The new Matthew 25 Center was built to serve one another, and to share the gifts God has bestowed on us.” The $1.8 million 13,000 square-foot new building will be more than double the size of the current facility, which is staged in an old retrofitted convent

Family Owned

The largest of these ministries is the Food Pantry, which provides basic food and household supplies like toilet paper, laundry detergent, and diapers to a client base of more than 350 families a month. The Merciful H.E.L.P. Center also coordinates several donation and distribution programs, including the Thanksgiving basket drive and Christmas Adopt-a-Family and Angel Tree programs that provided food, clothing, and gifts to 769 needy Hamilton County families during the holidays. The Trinity Free Clinic, which was founded by Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in 2000, has grown from a small immunization program to an acute medical and dental clinic that served more than 3,500 patients last year. Now its own separate nonprofit entity, the Trinity Free Clinic is staffed by more than 500 volunteers, and provides a variety of services, including specialized clinics in women’s health, eye care, asthma, allergy, and foot care, as well as social service assistance to connect clients to community resources. Come celebrate what has been accomplished and enjoy the beauty you can see as well as the beauty you can feel.

Last of ‘robber crew’ from ’09 county robbery spree sentenced By Jordan Fischer Current in Carmel U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Hogsett announced June 27 the sentencing of German Rivera-Ruiz to 15 years in federal prison after the latter man plead guilty to interfering with interstate commerce by robbery and using a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence. Rivera-Ruiz’s sentencing is the culmination of a two-year investigation across five cases into a series of robberies which occurred in Indianapolis and Hamilton County – including Westfield and Noblesville – between January and March 2009. Four other members of the “robber crew,” as described by a Department of Justice memorandum, Manuel Perez, Eduardo Ramirez, Juan Valdez and Hector Tadeo-Martinez, were also sentenced in separate proceedings. All received sentences between seven to 15 years in federal prison.

“Not only has this case been resolved in the fullest degree, but chances are those fellows will never walk the streets of Hamilton County again.”

probably walk out when he’s 49. Since he’s in the country illegally, he’ll be immediately deported.” Four of the five men sentenced were found to be in the country illegally. The fifth man, while in the country legally, is in the U.S. on a conditional basis and could also be subject to deportation. “Not only has this case been resolved in the fullest degree, but chances are those fellows will never walk the streets of Hamilton County again,” Hogsett said.

“I hope these cases serve as a deterrent to those who would look to get quick or easy money by holding up establishments,” Hogsett said. The robbers’ targets included three grocery stories and a Mexican restaurant. In all of the robberies, at least one perpetrator was armed with a handgun. Since the five men were tried in the federal justice system, Hogsett said it is unlikely they will see much, if any, reduction in their sentences. “Generally, the rule in the federal system is you do the time sentenced,” he said. “Mr. Ruiz, who is 35-years-old right now, will

The star-studded August event will feature Broadway and television star David Hyde Pierce, the Center’s artistic director Michael Feinstein, American Ballet Theatre dancers and Carmel native Julia Bonnett, winner of the 2009 Great American Songbook competition. Theater-goers will be immersed in quality and uniquely entertaining experiences like those in New York City right here in the heart of Carmel. “The Tarkington Theater completes the performing arts campus. It is a state-of-the-art theater rivaling the most modern Broadway theaters in New York City,” Libman said. “The ability to stage theatrical performances, dance and musical concerts enhances the Center’s artistic presentations.” Dance Kaleidoscope will be the first performers to take the stage on July 15. Anita Hall and Everett Greene will perform July 19. Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre will be a resident performing group at the theatre and will perform for the first time in The Tarkington July 21. The theater will host a Heartland Truly Moving film screening July 26 and the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis July 28. A public ribbon-cutting ceremony and Open House is July 31. Both days will feature free performances on the Tarkington Theater stage.

By Kevin Kane Current in Carmel Detlef Rathmann’s schedule is not quite as full as it could be. The Hamilton County resident spends his retirement involved in a number of volunteer efforts benefitting the community, but there’s one type of volunteer work with which he wouldn’t mind bolstering his workload. Rathmann is the chairman of Indianapolis Service Corps of Retired Executives, which has branches in Noblesville, Greenwood, Avon and Lafayette. SCORE is a national, governmentfunded program which makes free advice and support from thousands of experienced, successful businesspeople available to aspiring and current small-business owners. In Carmel, Mo Merhoff, executive director of the Carmel Chamber of Commerce, says the program has been underutilized since the former chamber liasion passed away. Merhoff says she’d be excited to see its resurgence in the community. “I think the sharing of successful retirees with new businesses makes perfect sense,” Merhoff said. “It’s retirees saying, ‘Hey, I had your job and I can help you.’ We’d love to see that become active here again.” The expert help is available without obligations to anyone, yet too often Rathmann’s schedule contains no appointments for consultation. On a national level, SCORE has been very successful since its creation more than 40 years ago. In 2010 alone, SCORE clients started a total of 58,637 businesses, created 71,449 jobs, and saved 17,629 existing jobs. SCORE mentored and trained 590,550 people last year through more than 1.2 million volunteer hours, and the new and existing businesses receiving this help generated $19.4 billion in revenue. The county’s branch in Noblesville, however, is still in its

no plan, no problem Indianapolis SCORE Chairman Detlef Rathmann said most SCORE clients do not have a business plan and only have loosely defined ideas for a business. But that’s OK. Rathmann said SCORE counselors can help no matter where a person is in the process of creating a business. SCORE, located in Noblesville City Hall at 16 S. 10th St., Suite 275, offers appointments from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Wednesdays. Call 317776-6324 for more information, or to make an appointment.

first year of operation and isn’t fully utilized. “I think people could take much more advantage of what SCORE offers,” Rathmann said. “There’s a belief out there of ‘All I have to do is start a business and the money’s just there for me.’ That’s totally untrue.” Those who do utilize SCORE’s consultants, however, receive one-on-one, confidential advice regardless of where they are in the process of starting or running a business. Many of the people receiving consultation come in to simply get feedback on loosely defined business ideas. However, the business owners who are working to get their existing companies off the ground can receive advice from experts in the areas in which they need the most assistance. There are 10 counselors at the Noblesville branch, each with unique backgrounds. But if a client needs additional help in a certain aspect of business ownership, such as franchising or public relations, the Noblesville office can tap into the pool of dozens of counselors from the rest of the area. Yet Rathmann said the majority of SCORE’s clients never become business owners. Many times, he said, people come to SCORE to “bounce a few ideas around” with the counselors and find they aren’t prepared for business ownership and/or underestimated the work involved. “Business owners have to wear a lot of hats, but sometimes people don’t like all of those hats,” Rathmann said. “Someone may be great at making cakes but do they want anything to do with sales?” While many clients decide against entrepreneurship, Rathmann said SCORE helps the community in these situ-

Other local entities also see SCORE’s value to the community. The City of Noblesville, for example, requires all new and existing business owners applying to the city’s Loan Guaranty Program to first consult with SCORE at least once. Rathmann said he hopes, in time, the many aspiring entrepreneurs in the area will come to the new Noblesville branch more frequently and see what SCORE can do for them. “We can breathe life into your business and we can be there for the life of your business if you want us to be,” he said.

OBITUARY Billy J. (“Bill”) Fulford, 77, of Indianapolis and New Port Richey, Fla, died unexpectedly after a brief illness on July 4, 2011. Bill was the son of the late Robert and Thelma Fulford, and was born in Edwardsport, Ind. He was the father of Carmel-based Salon 01 owner Micki Stirsman and father-in-law of her husband, David, also an owner of Salon 01. Bill was a U.S. Air Force veteran, having served in the Korean War. He was a 36-year employee of Allison Transmissions, from whose sales division he retired in 1986. His family, faith and golf were his passions. If there were a workingman’s Golf Hall of Fame, Bill would be in it. A true ambassador and gentleman of the game, Bill was known as one of Indiana’s finest and favorite amateur players. His golf resume includes 10 club championships, two Indiana Senior Amateur Championships, two Indianapolis Spring Four-Ball Championships, and twice he qualified for the National Publinx Amateur Championship. He won club and state events throughout Indiana and Florida. Physically

imposing in size, Bill was gentle and compassionate in demeanor. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by many as a gentle giant of a man, deep in faith, devoted to both his family and country. Also surviving are his widow, Juanita (Mills) Fulford, whom he married in 1956; sons Steve (Deb) Fulford and Rob Fulford; brother Bob Fulford (Pat) of Kokomo; sisters Colleen Parrish (Dallas), Sheila Melton (Jerry) of New Port Richey, Fla., and Shirley Brummett (Indianapolis); and seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

The American spirit booms past Fourth of July COMMENTARY By Jason Peek Fourth of July. What happened? I waited all week to enjoy the festivities and it flew right by me in, what seemed, like five minutes. As usual, CarmelFest was a success and busy as ever. It was nice to see all the kids and parents having fun. For me, the highlight of Carmelfest was the truck carrying two steel beams from Ground Zero. I happen to know the fine men involved in this journey, and they are top notch patriots. Their journey to honor American lives lost in the horrific tragedy was not short or simple. To get the full story on the beams and people involved go to www.911 Indianapolis. org. Thank you, Greg Hess, and all involved for your efforts. Fourth of July is a very special day to us at Main Street Barber Shop, where we honor our veterans and work with one of our country’s selfless soldiers. Our support for the military goes past the Fourth of July, we take in gentlyused clothes, home items and even furniture for the Homeless Veterans and Families

organization. I’m amazed when soldiers leave my shop and we tell them, “Thank you for your service.” The humbling thing to me is when they turn back and say, “Thank you.” We all see the world getting more evil and more difficult to figure out. But these men and women who serve or have served our country is what shows our spirit. America has always united in hard times. It’s the drive and the love that DOES lie deep in us. Fourth of July, it’s a lot more than just a day of no work to eat and drink to the cadence of explosions. It’s a time to remember and celebrate the independence of our nation, the men and women who serve it and what’s sometimes hidden deep inside of us, love for our admirable nation.

Buffalo Wings and Chips restaurant serving grammar lessons GRAMMAR LESSON By Brandie Bohney I learned an important lesson in grammar and saying what you mean from a restaurant at a young age. A Buffalo wings restaurant changed names and hands frequently, but none matched the first name of the restaurant in hilarity: Buffalo Wings and Chips. Anyone interested in eating buffalo chips? No? Shocker. The restaurant aired ads making light of the unfortunate correlation of buffalo and chips. Here’s the point: When making a list, only use adjectives or adverbs clearly modifying the intended subject. Buffalo Wings and Chips would have been safer to call their establishment Chips and Buffalo Wings. It doesn’t quite have the same ring, though, and that’s probably why its names varied for years. Consider the problems stemming from lists: Susie came home with edible buttons and underwear. Mark likes fluffy pillows and shoes. Greasy eggs, cookies and corn are Margo’s favorite foods. Adjectives and adverbs need to describe the items with their own modifiers; or the modified item needs to come last in the list to avoid attributing the modifier to unintended items. Unless,

you want to reveal Susie came home with edible underwear in addition to her edible buttons. A minimal rearrangement fixes the awkward wording: Susie came home with underwear and edible buttons. Mark likes shoes and fluffy pillows. Cookies, corn, and greasy eggs are Margo’s favorite foods. See the difference? An awareness of your modifier placement can also work to your advantage in modifying multiple items: He worked all night to get rid of the moldy carpet and pad, stained furniture, and waterlogged drywall. The carpet and pad are both moldy, so they are paired together. The other items have their own modifiers, so the order of the items doesn’t unintentionally modify the wrong things. Paying attention to modifiers will make writing more precise and clear. It should keep you from serving buffalo chips as a side dish. Brandie Bohney is a grammar enthusiast and former English teacher. If you have a grammarrelated question, please email her at bbthegrammarguru@gmail.com.

Combating summer learning loss COMMENTARY By Paul McCarthy Have you heard of summer learning loss? If not, you haven’t been paying attention to the debates around year-round learning. When students stop academic training for an extended period of time, they forget many of the skills and concepts they have been exposed to. A 2000 Johns Hopkins University study found students suffer the most loss in math, as much as two and a half months’ worth. The following school year, teachers spend six to eight weeks “re-teaching” info that was forgotten. Have you ever wondered, as an example, why every geometry course starts with a review of algebra? This phenomenon once led U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to call summer “an inexplicable, counterproductive anachronism that takes youths out of an education setting for two to three months every year.” Until year-round school becomes the norm, it falls to parents to try and stem some of this inevitable slide over the summer break. All while still having fun! Here are some ideas: • When you cook, have kids measure ingredients; this helps with fractions, ratios and simple addition. • When you are shopping, have kids keep a running total of your bill. If you are paying in cash, let them figure out which bills you need and what the change should be.

• Encourage reading. Any reading (with the possible exception of anything created with thumbs). Let them read what they want. Let them see you read as well. Make frequent trips to the library. • Go to a museum, then come home and look up more information on an individual, an animal or an artist that you saw. • Have your children write letters to family or write short stories to practice grammar and fire up their imaginations. • While traveling, have your kids calculate the distance remaining based on mile markers. Read road signs or truck decals. • Plant and maintain a garden. Chart the growth of the various plant types. • Obtain all the fall textbooks now and have them read the first chapter (or more) of each subject. • Enroll them in a summer tutoring program (to have one-on-one interaction) or a reading or study skills program. Whatever you do, don’t let any pre-work required over the summer slide to the first week of August. Not only will this not help with summer learning loss, it will reinforce bad study habits.

DISPATCHES » Embrace the rosé – Rosé is often associated with bad wedding receptions and avoided by men for its color. But rosé can be a delightful staple during the summer. Rosés are so varied it’s difficult to generalize what food matches best. That said, it’s a quintessential summer drink, so anything you’d eat at a summer picnic—grilled seafood, salads, and olives just to name a few—would likely go well with a glass of pink. Just remember, keep rosé chilled. It’s supposed to be refreshing, after all. -www.wsj.com » Center reaches milestone – The Center for the Performing Arts closed its 2010-11 season with its final concert June 22. Final box office sales are now totaled and the inaugural season grossed $1,665,000. Of the 24 performances in the inaugural season, the Center sold 34,467 tickets, equaling 96 percent of the hall’s seating inventory. The abbreviated season launched on January 29 and spanned five series: classics, songbook, jazz, country, and dance.

» July gardening tips – 1. Yellow or undersize foliage on your trees indicates a lack of nourishment. Feed them regularly, but don’t overdo it. 2. If you have any houseplants sitting directly in the window, make sure the light is filtered or the plant is moved to a site out of direct sunlight. The windowpane intensifies the heat, and you don’t want to scorch your plants. 3. Fertilize your houseplants frequently to ensure vigorous growth. -www.almanac.com » Don’t post plans – It may seem fun to brag about your upcoming trip to friends and acquaintances on social networks, but you should resist the temptation to call too much attention to the fact that you’re leaving behind an empty, unattended apartment or house for weeks at a time. “Burglars have already begun to turn to Facebook and Twitter to find homes that may be vacant during a holiday absence, so don’t make their job any easier for them by giving them your travel itinerary,” Internet security firm Webroot said. -www.technewsdaily.com

Celebrating 20 years of enjoyable escapes COMMENTARY By Lindsay Labas Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) is one of the nation’s pioneer and model agencies in the field of parks and recreation. CCPR was established 20 years ago, in August 1991, and has steadily grown into an organization that far exceeds the community’s expectations. The goals of the department have been and continue to be providing enriching, enjoyable escapes through recreation, fitness, and nature, as well as acquiring, preserving, and maintaining open lands and parks. The department has grown immensely in the past 20 years. In 1991, CCPR maintained only a few parks and greenways. It did not have a facility to host our recreation programs or a place to meet the community’s needs. After 20 years of rapid growth, we now maintain 15 parks and greenways throughout Carmel and Clay Township, two of which are currently “Wildlife Friendly” certified through the Indiana Wildlife Federation, and the Monon Community Center, home to a fitness center, indoor aquatics, water park, three-court gymnasium, KidZone (childcare), and program and meeting rooms. August will be an exciting time for us as we begin our 20th anniversary celebration. Exactly 20 years from inception, we will hold a tree planting ceremony at the grand opening of Founder’s Park hosted by the Carmel Clay Board of Parks and Recreation. On October 20,

He writes that if a late meal is the only one during the day, however, it can lead to overeating, and he recommends that people get 70 percent of their daily calories before a nightly dinner. -www.foxnews.com » Health myth busted – It’s often warned sitting too close to a television screen will ruin one’s eyes. When TV’s first became popular in the 1950s, they emitted 100,000 times more radiation than they do today. So parents may have been smart to keep their kids away from the tube back then. But sitting too close to a modern set or computer screen won’t do any permanent damage to your eyes.

Is there a ‘best’ time of day to exercise? Commentary By Doug Biggs Is it more advantageous to exercise at a certain time of the day over another? Most exercisers have heard the different theories that exist on this subject. For example, many exercisers subscribe to the age old adage that exercise should be done first thing in the morning, while others claim that they get their best workouts in the late afternoon or early evening. There are compelling arguments for either morning or afternoon exercise sessions. Most people who exercise in the morning report that it helps give them energy for their daily activities and is a “jump start” to their day. In terms of compliance with exercise, most research has found that people who make it a priority to exercise in the morning stick to their schedule and skip workouts less. Another benefit to morning exercise is improved sleep, a key component to weight loss. According to Cedric Bryant Ph.D, this improved sleep helps the body regulate hormones that control appetite, which helps with weight loss. Not all researchers are sold on the metabolic advantage reported with early morning exercise. Richard Cotton, an exercise physiologist with the American Council on Exercise, claims “there

is some evidence that morning exercise promotes more fat burning than other times of the day, but the difference is so small that it really wouldn’t matter.” Dr. Phyllis Zee, a neurologist from Northwestern University, has taken this research in a new direction. She claims that the best time of the day to exercise is in the late afternoon when the muscle strength is at its peak, people are at their most alert, and least likely to become injured with exercise. Dr. Zee bases her conclusion on her study of the body’s circadian rhythms, which is the body’s internal clock. Is there an advantage to exercising in the morning versus afternoon? Personally, after spending years in management at a Fortune 50 company, my opinion is exercise when you can fit it into your schedule. All exercise is beneficial and all calories burned throughout the day add up. To lose a pound a week a person has to either burn 500 more calories per day than they take in, consume 500 less calories per day, or a combination of both. Figure out what works best for you in your own situation and set aside time to exercise. Make exercise a priority and just get out there and do it.

Closing my vegan chapter COMMENTARY By Courtney Stiehl My journey as a vegan is wrapping up and I’m reflecting on how my diet changes have impacted my perspective on food. Physically, I feel little difference now than I did in my postvegan days. I didn’t lose a single pound. I didn’t experience a boost of energy like those who live it promised. But, it wasn’t all in vain. I’ve become more conscious about what I feed my body. So much so, I worry I’ll feel guilty once I begin eating eggs, cheese and seafood that were once off-limits. I realize food is meant to nourish. Processed foods can’t do that. The “sweet surprise” corn syrup ads are full of irony. This past month, I read every ingredient, spent large gaps of time planning meals and realigned my choices for health. I even gave up soft drinks. Vegetables became the norm. Actually, veganism became the norm. Now I’m approaching my final days, the diet requires little thought. If the benefits ended up outweighing the costs, I would have considered continuing veganism for the summer. Vegans who regulate their diet as part of their passion for animals must have a stronger drive. For me, it inevitably felt like a strict diet rather than a lifestyle change, as I had hoped for. So, I’m proud of myself for carrying it out. Except for the time I knowingly ate a grilled “cheese.” I used soy cheese and wheat bread, but surprisingly both included milk. I was out of

food, running out the door for work and angry the soy cheese I picked up didn’t turn out to be vegan. In that hungry moment, I actually felt desperate. It was the only time I cheated. I still encourage anyone contemplating veganism for health to give it a go. I trust it’s healthy if done right, despite encountering many who disagree. It’s imperative to take supplements and eat plenty of veggies, beans and whole grains. Also, meat substitutes are good for filling up. On a side note, lanolin and confectioner’s glaze are strange animal ingredients. I stumbled upon their true identity relatively late in the month. Lanolin translates to wool grease and confectioner’s glaze is a nicer word for beetle juice. Liquid actually secreted from beetles! It’s used to protect the exterior of candy and medicine. Who figured out to use that? This affects my movie-time candy choices. Suddenly, I’m not so sure about Junior Mints anymore. I’m already anticipating what I’ll eat once I part with my vegan ways. Perhaps I’ll eat pizza or chips and queso, because I miss cheese the most. This week has by far been the hardest. Eating my favorite foods feels near and I can’t wait. I hope I don’t turn anyone off veganism by saying so.

All it takes is three wigs and a lot of makeup!

The care and feeding of an area rug COMMENTARY By Vicky Earley It probably can’t be said enough an area rug is art under foot that requires love, attention and a bit of understanding. Even the finest and most expensive rugs may exhibit some or all of the following characteristics. These are not flaws, just characteristics. Shedding: It is characteristic for all synthetic and wool pile rugs to lose short fibers. This “shedding” process happens when the pile is cut to required height during production and fibers fall onto the surface as “fluff.” Shedding is not considered a defect; it is simply a by-product of the process. The amount of shedding will vary based on material type and quality, pile height, age of the rug and knot density. It can continue for months depending on how frequently the rug is vacuumed. Sprouting: Certain types of yarns used in the making of rugs are “over-twisted” in order to give the rug the desired texture. Frequently, a yarn tuft will rise above the surface and the process is called “sprouting”. Do not pull the sprout because it will cause actual damage to the rug. Be aware high heels, the true enemy and often of all flooring, can cause sprouting as well. Curling: The term “curling” can be used to describe a couple of situations. Rugs are often rolled tightly for shipping. Sometimes, when the rugs are initially unpacked, the edges will curl

under, stubbornly refusing to lay flat. The rug’s foundation or backing must be given time to relax after being unpacked. Reverse rolling of the rug can speed the relaxing process. Curling can also be a sign in hand knotted rugs of a very finely and tightly woven piece. If the problem becomes a real issue, strips of leather along the edges can help prevent curling but this should be undertaken only by a professional rug repair professional. The term “curling” is also used to describe the stretching that happens when a rug is placed on top of plush carpet, with heavy furniture placed on the rug’s surface. Again, this is not a defect of the rug, although in such cases the rug will never lay flat again. This is the result of the rug’s foundation has being stretched. While you are encouraged to vacuum, vacuum and then vacuum your area rug some more to reduce fiber wear, a beater bar that is too low can be your rugs worst enemy. Make sure that it lightly vibrates the fibers…just enough to remove imbedded particles. Finally, rotate your rug once a year to avoid traffic patterns and sun fading in specific areas.

As for that Spending the time and money to get your nails done can be frustrating if the check shirt, it will be perfect for your picnic in the woods.

Making Your Manicure Last

results don’t last. Here are some tips for making your manicure last. • Avoid housework Yeah, we know there are things to be done… but household cleaners, makeup remover, hair products, and sunscreen can break down a polish’s finish. For housework be sure to wear protective gloves. • Keep nails short If your nails are long they are more prone to chipping and breaking. Try keeping your nails no more than a quarter inch past your fingertips. • Use a clean slate Make sure to buff and clean nails before adding polish. This will ensure your polish has a better base to adhere to. Any oil, lotion, or other products only prevent polish from staying on the nail. • Wrap your polish After applying color, sweep the ends of your nails with color and topcoat. Applying polish to the very tips and a bit under the nail will minimize chipping by “wrapping” the end.

DIY Accessories

Feathered Headband The latest trend in hair accessories are feathers, from extensions to headbands, you can look hot this season, and with a little creativity, there is no need to spend a fortune. For this look all you need is an inexpensive headband, superglue, and feathers of any color or size from your local craft store. Arrange the feathers on the band, hiding quills with each attachment, and fasten using the glue. Need: scissors, headband, feathers, glue http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-crave-blair-waldorf-meets-pocahontas-headband/

Embellished Barrette Even if headbands aren’t your thing, you can still have fun with your hair accessories! Many craft stores carry plain plastic barrettes perfect for getting creative. The same procedure for the feathered headband is used here on the barrette. Pick what design elements you prefer (ex. Pearls, gold chain, rhinestones) and attach using superglue or a hot glue gun.

Button Bracelet This bracelet is a truly versatile piece depending on what buttons you choose to create the look. Vintage inspired black, gold, silver, or white pieces go best for a polished ensemble. Bright colors and a variety of textures can also be used for a more hip, fun style. To make this bracelet, cut a section of elastic cord to fit your wrist. Keep in mind the elastic will stretch, so judge how snug you want the bracelet to be. Arrange the buttons atop the elastic cord using random placement and or alternating colors. Next, sew each button to the elastic, overlapping the buttons to create a big, full bracelet, or lining them up one at a time for a simpler look. To finish your bracelet, sew the two ends together.

DISPATCHES » Report weather damage – Hoosiers who sustained damage caused by severe weather last month can report damage online at myoracle.in.gov/hs/dev/flood/public/index. jsp. A link to the form is also available on the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) website at www.in.gov/dhs. » Indiana protects freedoms – According to George Mason University’s biannual “Freedom in the 50 States” report authored by the school’s Mercatus Center, Indiana is the third-best state when it comes to protecting personal freedoms. Indiana has, according to the Mercatus report, the highest level of regulatory freedom in the U.S. The state has completely deregulated cable, natural gas and the telecom industry. Indiana has relatively light campaign finance laws. It also has a mostly hands-off policy on the regulation of private and public schools. -www.247wallst.com » When to avoid Home Depot – Home Depot does have some “top-notch, toprated” appliances, including some models it sells exclusively, says Robert Markovich of Consumer Reports. However, “if you care

about service, you’re going to want to go to ABT Electronics or the local independents,” says Markovich, pointing to an annual survey of more than 16,000 Consumer Reports subscribers who recently bought appliances. At the local appliance store, you’ll get personalized attention from a salesperson and, unlike Home Depot, local dealers service what they sell — instead of pawning you off to a manufacturer’s 800 number. www.bnet.com » Hottest vacation home markets – If you’re in the market for a vacation home, credit is tight but prices have fallen.

1-2-3, buy it! Commentary By David Cain If I really want my kids to do something, I count to three. I never really understood the power of the three-count until I had kids old enough to count. I say to little Jacquie, “I’m going to count to three and you better be brushing your teeth.” She jumps to action, Hello Kitty toothbrush in hand and begins the nightly ritual of scrubbing her pearly whites. I smile and I’m satisfied with the genius of three and my flawless execution. But, is it the three that causes her to leap to action? I was looking to buy a pair of shoes online. I found a pair I wanted, I knew they were right. Click, added to the cart, click, return to shopping to look a little more. I became distracted by something and was out of my seat and forgot the process I had just completed. When I returned, I exited the window and moved on with my life. Walking a mile in these shoes hasn’t been so bad, what do another few miles in the same pair matter? 48 hours later, the email arrived. It proudly

announced I’d left shoes in my cart and there were only one pair left. Click, back to the page, click, and purchase now! Done and done. Some new shoes are on their way. Then it hit me, did Zappos just pull the three-count on me? The countdown and the takeaway – those cleaver retailers. Countdowns make you act. They resonate in our brains and cause us to act now, not later. Expiring sales, promotions for a limited time, showing the remaining number of an item – they are all variations of the three-count I use on my daughters. I’m going to count to three and you better be buying those shoes – thanks Zappos, I appreciate the approach. Good marketing is often founded in the selling principles that work on a five-yearold. Watch how you get your kids to act and you might be looking at some of the best sales fodder there is.

Countdowns make you act. They resonate in our brains and cause us to act now, not later.

Custom bath remodel with natural stone tile REMODELING By Larry Greene Original 1978 master bath: This home, located in the Eden Estates neighborhood on the east side of Carmel, was built in 1978 and included the original master bathroom that was definitely in need of an update. Important changes: There were several major changes to the bathroom and completely changed the look. The wall was taken down that separated the toilet area from the rest of the bathroom. The existing bulkheads, which were very popular in 1978, were removed to provide a much more functional and open bathroom. According to the homeowner, “I hated the shower before. It was a fiberglass all-in-one piece shower/tub unit. The water just wouldn’t spray where I wanted it to.” Shower features: The homeowner commented, “My husband and I love the new shower with the bench seat and the new Kohler shower head. We originally considered installing a handheld showerhead, but changed to a Kohler showerhead. The spray goes right where I want it to go.” Vanity upgrades: A carpenter built a new 12-inch-deep-by-48-inches-tall base cabinet located behind the vanity on the window wall.

The existing vanity cabinet doors were replaced with a more updated door style to match the new 12-inch base cabinet. The existing fluting on the front of the cabinets was replaced with flat pieces Before of paint grade wood. The new cabinet and the modified existing cabinets were then all painted a new color (Porter – Steeple Gray). The homeowner said, “I really like the cabinets for storage under the sink. I absolutely love the Cambria countertops. It never looks dirty!” Final thoughts: New details at the shower, vanity area and the new porcelain tile on the floor and on the shower walls completed the new remodel. The shower includes a clear glass frameless shower enclosure. The homeowner added, “I like the way the mirrors and lighting in the bathroom light up the room. It’s really bright now. I’m really happy with the way the bathroom turned out.”

Breaking tradition for pet health PETS By John Mikesell Two dogs have itchy skin and small open sores on their legs. Or they both have a fever or a trauma injury or infected ears. One goes to a conventional veterinarian and receives antibiotics, steroids, or other symptom-suppressing drugs. The other goes to a veterinary homeopath, who studies the dog’s symptoms and asks questions about his behavior and actions while looking things up in a book or computer. The homeopath selects a remedy, gives the dog a single dose and instructs the owner to report back. The remedy is chosen not because it reduces or eliminates the dog’s symptoms, but when given to a healthy patient, it actually produces those same symptoms. The remedy is so dilute it doesn’t contain a single molecule of the substance on the label.

Welcome to the world of homeopathy, one of the most interesting and controversial alternative therapies and forms of “energy medicine.” IS YOUR DOG A CANDIDATE? Although most homeopaths believe that homeopathy can help any dog in any condition, some dogs are better candidates for success than others. The most challenging patients are older dogs with long-standing chronic conditions who have been fed a supermarket kibble and received annual vaccinations along with conventional symptom-suppressing drugs. ARE YOU A CANDIDATE Healthcare is so strongly affected by cultural conditioning many people will never consider trying homeopathy. It’s just too different from what they’re used to. Others may be interested, but are

so used to suppressing symptoms the thought of letting a fever run its course or waiting through a day of discomfort raises their own stress levels. The owners most likely to obtain good results are those who learn the basics of homeopathy, know how to administer remedies, carefully observe their pets, and record symptoms. These owners understand that homeopathy isn’t necessarily a quick fix. I always tell my customers homeopathic treatments take longer, but as a rule with fewer long term side effects. WHAT YOU CAN DO Look for a local veterinary homeopath or consult with one by phone or email. Observe your dog carefully to document symptoms and responses. John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at john. mikesell@att.net.

Infidelity victims are innocent RELATIONSHIPS BY Rachel Noble As I bring this series on female cheaters to a close, I’d like to offer a word of encouragement to men who have been the victims of cheating. It’s easy to blame yourself and question scenarios. Was she was really hanging out with her friends on late nights out? Should I have paid more attention to her? Then you start to wonder, do other people know? How could she do this to the family? Perhaps we could all use a little self- improvement. But the bottom line is, cheating is wrong – no exceptions. Ultimately, the faster you figure out you aren’t to blame and there is something inside her that drove her to cheat, the better off you’ll be. I know it’s hard to imagine right now, but there are good women out there. When I recently wrote the series on males cheating, I was grateful to receive emails from men who shared their stories about infidelity. I was also shocked by emails I received from men who said they had been cheated on, called me names and said if women are cheated on it’s because they de-

serve it. The bitterness radiated in their messages and their threatening words made me realize they were stuck in their hurt. They didn’t learn to move on and now every woman they encounter is going to be greeted by hostility. Let’s face it. Nearly all men and women have been cheated on. It’s up to each of us to accept the past as a learning experience and a chance to grow. Blaming others, focusing on our hurts and choosing not to move on will negatively affect our futures. My heart goes out to the victims of infidelity. I promise each day will get better if you focus on forgiveness and a positive attitude toward the future. I appreciate everyone’s feedback and openness in your emails. I’m cheering each of you on to move forward in life and to see every day as a blessing!

Ultimately, the faster you figure out you aren’t to blame and there is something inside her that drove her to cheat, the better off you’ll be.

Lightening the load of life HUMOR By Mike Redmond I recently took a big and somewhat painful step, I sold my motorcycle. Excuse me while I compose myself. Why did I sell something so cherished? Why did I turn my back on 10 years of faithful service and mechanized friendship? I needed the money. Also, I noticed I wasn’t getting the same charge out of motorcycle riding I used to. It was a gradual realization. The more responsibilities I took on the more the bike became impractical. I used to ride to work every day, all 12 months of the year. But as of late, I found myself climbing aboard once a week, tops. Plus, every time I did it rained. There were other factors, too, but the bottom line is I had this motorcycle just sitting in the garage and it seemed unfair to hoard it when someone else could be enjoying it. Also, I knew I could get a pretty good price for it. But I think there might be something else going on, too. I spent the first 50 or so years of my life acquiring things. A look around my office shows I indulged myself, and frequently. There’s my collection of Green Lantern action figures, lunchboxes and newspaper memorabilia in just one room. Downstairs is my toy tractor collection, Roy

Rogers loot and enough DVDs to start a video store. Go out to the garage attic and you’ll find more newspaper stuff, musical instruments and a large collection of Santa Claus figurines. See what I mean? For 50 years, it was gimme, gimme, gimme, I want, I want, I want, collect, collect, collect, acquire, acquire, acquire. However, in the last year I’ve shifted. I want to lighten the load, not add to it. I want to get rid of things I own just for the sake of owning them, and get my possessions pared down to the stuff that really matters. Either that, or subliminal messages have been planted in my brain by “Antiques Roadshow” and “Clean House.” It all resulted in the decision to sell my bike. Now, it lives somewhere in Ohio with a guy whose loving wife bought it for him as a surprise. I’m glad I was able to be part of that. Meanwhile, there’s a big hole in the garage. Although I know I made a good choice and a good deal, it makes me a little sad. I’ll get over it, though. All it will take is a little time. And eventually, a new bike.

Losing a sense for scents HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie My hearing is great. My eyesight is also excellent for a guy my age. Sadly, however, I am losing my sense of smell. I don’t think this is a health concern—but just in case, I have every intention of scheduling time to look it up on the internet. There have been several indicators of this problem. When Mary Ellen, Brett and I sit in the living room watching the evening news, the dog is usually at our feet. All of a sudden, both my son and my wife start feverishly waving their hands in front of their noses. For the longest time, I figured I was blocking their view of the screen. “You didn’t smell that?” they shout. “No, but I heard it.” Mary Ellen knew I had a problem way before I did. She didn’t say anything until recently. “Dick, I don’t how to tell you this, but I don’t think you smell very good.” “Excuse me?” “That came out wrong. You don’t smell well.” Clearly the problem was as much grammatical as medical. The conversation reminded me of an exchange we once had when I had lost my wallet for the third time in a week and found it on the dining room table. That’s when I first learned Mary Ellen didn’t think I looked very well. I’m lucky to have a beautiful wife, considering I appear sickly and have body odor. I did check the internet and it looks like I may

have a disorder called anosmia, which one expert claims is sometimes caused by intranasal drug abuse. I must be losing my memory because I have no recollection of ever putting anything in my nose except a carrot this past New Year’s Eve. People kept telling me I wasn’t eating right. I am coping with the problem. I now change my socks almost every day because my previous modus operandi for making that important evaluation is no longer as effective. Has the cottage cheese gone bad? Now I have to rely solely on the fuzzy green mold to make that determination. One website suggested if your sense of smell is impaired, you might want to employ a “smell buddy,” a person you trust to tell you whether you have foul-smelling breath or offensive odors in your home. I had to choose wisely, so I called my friend and tried to convince him this would be a fun gig. I promised Bob a donation to his favorite charity and a free monthly dinner. Bob is quite the skeptic. “This deal smells fishy to me,” he said. “I was in no position to argue. I hired him on the spot.”convince him this would be a fun gig.
