Young chef honored at White House By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com
“Ever since I was old enough to do anything in the kitchen, I’ve been in the kitchen with my mom,” 9-year-old Lydia Finkachievement beiner said. “I think my first dish was pigs in a blanket – you know, with a hotdog.” Obviously those culinary skills have evolved during her long years in the kitchen, because Lydia’s own recipe for “Sneaky Chili Surprise” was chosen from among 1,300 entries as one of 54 winners of the First Lady Michelle Obama’s Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, co-sponsored by Epicurious and the Departments of Education and Agriculture. Lydia learned about the contest when her mom, Kristi, was searching for healthy recipes on Epicurious and saw the contest announced. When asked about the inspiration for her awardwinning dish, Lydia said quite emphatically that she knew she wanted to make chili. Why? “Because I like chili,” she said. Of course. But what makes her chili a sneaky surprise? “Well,” Lydia said, “I knew I wanted to sneak carLydia Finkbeiner, 9, was asked to visit the White rots into the recipe because my brother Ryan hates House.

U.S. 31 by the numbers
By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com
In 1996, INDOT determined that U.S. 31 would be converted from a highway to a freeway. Progress is inevitable, and usually a good thing once it’s done. development Getting there, though, can be a painful process, and the timeline of that process was outlined as Steve Fleming, of engineering firm R.W. Armstrong, along with City Engineer Mike McBride and Director of the Dept. of Community Services Mike Hollibaugh presented Carmel Chamber of Commerce members with an update on the U.S. 31 project at the July 10 Chamber luncheon. “It’s their highway, but it’s our city” This has been the guiding principle of city leaders regarding the development of U.S. 31 as far back as 1980, when a city committee created what Hollibaugh referred to as a “cutting edge” set of regulations for future development on U.S. 31. This foresight presented itself again in 1991, as the Carmel-Clay comprehensive plan was revised to create an infrastructure that would support a freeway. According to McBride, “The planning effort to achieve this was monumental.” In 2001, according to Hollibaugh, city leaders “drew a line in the sand” by issuing a standing task force meeting invitation to INDOT, at which time the city planners made it clear that they would retain control of where interchanges went, how they were structured and how the finished project would look. As of last year, the city reached an agreement with INDOT that all interchanges with U.S. 31 would be roundabouts. The intersection of 96th Street and Keystone Parkway is the last interchange that has not yet been converted to a roundabout. The City of Carmel has applied for a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant to subsidize that. Whether or not that grant is received, that roundabout will be completed as part of the U.S. 31 project. The subcontract for the city’s portion of the work has yet to be awarded. What’s the timeline? Construction began in the spring of 2011 at Ind. 38 and 146th Street. It is reaching as far south

Early phases of the project are already complete: the interchange at U.S. 31 and Ind. 38, the 146th Street bridge over U.S. 31 and the U.S. 31/Keystone Parkway/146th Street interchange. • 2014 – 151st to 161st streets will be completed. Full construction between Ind. 32 and 191st Street. Minimal disruptions to the U.S. 31 mainline; offline and shoulder work between I-465 and 136th Street and shoulder and pavement work from 106th Street to Old Meridian.

Interest in Nash building strong
By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com
The Nash Building doesn’t even exist and yet it is experiencing active leasing. Ground was broken July 11 to officially mark the beginning of the development construction of The Nash, a European-inspired, three-story, $10-million mixed-use building with an underground parking garage. It will offer 31 one- to three-bedroom apartments on the second and third floors and 8,300 square feet of commercial space at street level. The project is just south of the existing City Center along Range Line Road. Pedcor Companies President and CEO Bruce Cordingley said that the Nash building, whose construction is anticipated to be completed as early as the end of 2014, is already two-thirds pre-leased. “Of the 8,300 square fee of retail space we have available, we are in negotiations to lease about 5,700 square feet of it,” Melissa Averitt, the senior vice president of marketing and sales at Pedcor, said. Averitt would not comment on who exactly was planning to come to the site because nothing is a done deal, but she did say the majority of the negotiations are with “retailers and service-
oriented businesses with a retail angle.” She said examples of service oriented types of businesses could be a financial-planning business, a bank or a Realtor. Momentum also has ramped up with the apartments, according to Averitt. “I’ve heard a lot of people express an interest in living in them,” Averitt said, adding that she doesn’t believe the apartments were being preleased at this time. Mayor Jim Brainard, who attended the groundbreaking event with members of Pedcor and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, said, “the Nash Building is a great way to finish the Range Line Road frontage (of City Center). Pedcor hires the best and the brightest, and understands the ... long-term value of being a part of downtown Carmel.” City Center is a public/private partnership and is one of the CRC’s largest projects to date. One of the most involved private partners in this venture has been Pedcor City Center Development Co. Ground was broken for Pedcor’s Phase I of City Center on March 23, 2006. The CRC is responsible for the redevelopment efforts of both the City Center and Arts & Design District projects. In addition, the CRC manages other public-private partnerships where city land is being redeveloped to improve economic growth of targeted areas of Carmel.

CCS partners with St.Vincent Health
By Nina Johnson • news@currentincarmel.com
The school board voted 5-0 in favor of a proposed partnership with St.Vincent’s Health to staff four nursing vacancies in the school district. Education Board president Layla Spanenberg said current Carmel Clay school nurses “don’t need to worry about losing their positions. This is only to help fill the four vacant positions.” With the partnership, St.Vincent administrators would recommend qualified nurses and the school district would retain the right to approve recommendations. These nurses would remain St.Vincent Health employees while serving in Carmel Clay school positions. “We have really good (nurses) in our district,” director of Human Resources Ryan Newman said. “This is only to fill those four open positions.” Newman assured the board the lead nurse position would be filled with an existing Carmel Clay nurse. “We will (also) continue to employ our own substitute nurses,” he said. While the partnership is cost neutral, Newman explained how it would broaden the applicant pool and expand professional development opportunities for current nursing staff. School calendars often reduce applicant pools for school nursing positions. However, as St.Vincent employees, nurses could serve in schools while continuing employment through the summer within the hospital system. St.Vincent’s Director of Social Services and Community Outreach Beth Petrucce suggested inviting Carmel Clay nurses to St.Vincent’s training seminar before the school
year begins. “It’s three full days of training on the newest techniques on diabetes care, asthma care, and more for the school environment,” Petrucce said. St.Vincent would also consider telecasting monthly meetings. Nurses on duty at school sites would benefit from announcements of upcoming healthcare training opportunities. Board member Greg Philips approved of the partnership, but requested close monitoring by the school district. “I’m going to trust that administrators will keep a close watch on turnover,” Philips said. “If we felt there was a high turnover with these positions,” Newman said, “it’s certainly something we’d want to address.” When Newman initially proposed the partnership, he clarified the positions are “not on a rotation basis.” He said, “it will be a consistent person, keeping in mind illness or days off.” Interim Supt. Steve Tegarden assured the board all Carmel Clay nursing staff have been kept updated on this proposal. Newman added nursing staff have not contacted administrators with concerns. A similar partnership with St.Vincent has proven successful at the new Carmel Clay Schools Wellness Center. The wellness center provides Carmel Clay employees and their families a range of healthcare services just steps from the high school grounds. Staffed by St.Vincent, the center reduced healthcare costs for both employees and the school district.
Emerald ash borers still a threat By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com It’s been 10 years since the emerald ash borer first came onto the radar of foresters. They were first discovered in the U.S. in Detroit in 2002. They had made it to northwest Indiana around 2004, and by 2006, they had forestry infiltrated our city’s landscape. “Ash trees were a huge part of Carmel’s city street program and private development in the early 2000’s,” said Mike Hollibaugh, Carmel Community Services Director. “It’s truly a disaster. We are still getting calls from homeowners, asking what they can do about them. But once a tree has been infected, there’s nothing you can do but cut it down. Even the most established and mature elm trees are in severe decline or already dead. The city has had to spend a lot of money removing the affected trees from municipal land.” Hollibaugh likens the emerald ash borer disaster to the scourge of Dutch Elm disease back in the 1960s, and notes that ash trees were most often the replacement tree of choice when the elms died. So history repeated itself. Preventing future forestry disasters “We’ve learned that diversity in planting is the key,” Hollibaugh said. Now, Daren Mindham, Carmel’s urban forester, maintains a spreadsheet of the planting and inventories of trees, and makes sure that the city doesn’t plant more than 10 to 15 percent of any one kind of tree. The city has become more involved in overseeing what private developers and home owners are planting as well. “We micro-manage in a way that we never did before, to ensure good species diversity and make sure this kind of thing never happens again,” Hollibaugh said.

Chaucie’s Place earns grant news@currentincarmel.com
Chaucie’s Place has been awarded a $5,000 grant from the Indiana Service Challenge, sponsored by Companies Philanthropy With a Mission. The grant monies will be used to build a training room at Chaucie’s Place. Chaucie’s Place, a nonprofit Child Advocacy Center that focuses on the prevention of child sexual abuse and youth suicide, received the grant thanks to Carmel-based NextGear Capital, whose employees volunteered at the organization and nominated the nonprofit for the grant. “The minute the employees at NextGear Capital learned about Chaucie’s Places’ mission and their need for a training room, they supported the organization and this effort 100 percent,” said Patty Turner, director of marketing and administrative services at NextGear Capital. “NextGear Capital purchased the materials, and our employees volunteered to construct the storage barn, which was the first step in transitioning the garage into a training room. Through the Indiana Service Challenge, we had the opportunity to submit this project for grant funds for Chaucie’s Place. We were thrilled to help Chaucie’s Place get the $5,000 seed money for its training room.” One hundred and ninety-four nonprofits were vying for a total of $200,000 from the Indiana Service Challenge. Only 38 nonprofits walked away with grants between $1,000 and $15,000.

Carmel Middle School social studies teacher Mark Matthews earned one of 56 James Madison Memorial 2013 Fellowachievement ships to fund $24,000 of his master’s degree studies. The fellowship supports select secondary school teachers of American history, American government and social studies. Application for the fellowship required several recommendations, transcripts and completion of a series of essays. “One of the more difficult requirements was getting as close to the word limit as possible without going over,” Matthews said. Named after the fourth U.S. president James Madison, the grant promotes the graduate study of history and the United States Constitution. “I (wrote) a great deal on the experiences I’ve gained in 29 years in the classroom,” Matthews said. “Many questions asked me to focus specifically on how I teach the Constitution, what I feel is important for students to know about both the Constitution and American history, and how I use primary sources.” Matthews engages students with class exercises such as “Socratic seminars and debates, mock trials, plus historical simulations of the Constitutional Convention, the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade, and the U.S. Civil War.”
His graduate studies are underway through Ashbrook Institute at Ashland University, Ohio. “Ashland has graduated more James Madison Fellows than any other university in the United States,” Matthews said. The university’s annual dinner has featured renowned political figures such as George H.W. Bush, Lady Margaret Thatcher and Mitt Romney. Recipients attend the foundation’s four-week summer institute on the American Constitution in Washington D.C. “I have for a number of years led Carmel Middle School’s eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C.,” Matthews said. “So it will be great to see many of the historic sites with colleagues and professors.” Coursework occurs in Georgetown along the Potomac River waterfront. “It will be exciting to study the Constitution and history in such close proximity to the U.S. Congress and Supreme Court,” he said. Matthews is pleased to continue his studies with an institution focused on American history education. “I have been privileged over the last several years to attend workshops and seminars with several of the professors,” he said. The institute also maintains an invaluable resource for teaching American history at www. teachingamericanhistory.org.

Young learners look to the sky
By Colleen Peregrin • news@youarecurrent.com June 8 signaled the beginning of a new club in the Carmel area. The Young Astronomers Club met at the Carmel astronomy Clay public library for the first time. This club is designed to teach children about the universe in a way that is friendly to them and conducive to their learning process. The group was formed by the Link Observatory and Space Science Center in Indianapolis. This center uses a classic style observatory that is owned and operated by Indiana University. Its purpose is to teach space science to Indiana middle school and high school students and the general public. When the club met at the library for the first time, the Director of Education and Public Outreach for Link Observatory, Keith Turner, taught the kids how to use Zooniverse.org. These children learned about exoplanets and how to interpret NASA Kepler mission data in locating extra-solar transits. They also got to assemble their own astrolabs and measure the angle of the sun. They learned that if you measure the sun’s angle at the same time each day, you can start to understand the earth’s orbit. “One of the comments I heard from one of the parents reassured me we are going in the right direction in our education and public outreach efforts,” said Greg McCauley, the executive direc-

tor of the Link Observatory. “I was commenting that their 12-year-old child had a real interest in space science and that we were impressed with his level of knowledge. His father said he was so happy something like this was available – before this there was nowhere else to go for his son to get involved.” McCauley excitedly promised that even more exciting learning opportunities were to be presented at next month’s meeting slated for July 13, such as projects to help better the kids understanding of the planet Mars.

4-H FAIR
Current in Carmel
www.currentincarmel.com
Carmel residents have invested decades with Hamiton County 4H
A 4-H’er explains her clothing proje ct to a judge during the 1938 County Dres s Revue
By Kathleen Devaney • news@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Supt. of Schools John F. Haines organized the earliest Indiana boys corn club meeting of record cover story on April 9, 1904. Ninetythree boys enrolled in that first corn club and each was given 1,200 kernels of corn for his project. At the end of the year, members exhibited their corn in the courthouse walkways. From this one project, the interest and growth of 4-H has increased to more than almost 2,000 youth in Hamilton County and more than 68 projects. Paul Woodward’s family moved to Hamilton County in 1932 when he was only 7. Woodward, now 87 and living in Noblesville, joined the Fall Creek Township 4-H Club in 1935. During his first county fair, Woodward remembers the hogs Woodward were in tents on Logan Street in downtown Noblesville and the cattle were sheltered in a livery stable, where the Hamilton County Judicial Center is now located. The women’s clothing exhibits were displayed in the Armory. “There were no livestock sales and most of the projects were directed toward rural families,” he said. The first Hamilton County 4-H fair was held three years later in 1938 at Noblesville’s Forest Park. “It was an idea that grew statewide and countywide to get more people participating,” Woodward said. “A bigger group of farmers got involved and really made a fair out of it.” Woodward still remembers that first 4-H fair and said times were different during the “horse and buggy” days. The county fair was held at Forest Park in 1936 and 1937. In the following years it moved around the county and was held in Sheridan, Walnut Grove, Carmel, Arcadia, Noblesville and Westfield. The 4-H fair moved out to the present 4-H fairgrounds on Pleasant Street in Noblesville in 1948. Monte Jessup donated 2.5 acres for the fairgrounds, and eventually the Hamilton County 4-H Council purchased 12 acres more land from Jessup. The 4-H Council raised more than $40,000 through donations, which they used to construct the current O.V. Winks building and the first swine barn, which now are used for small animals and horticulture exhibits.

4-H By the Numbers Vivienne Summeier participates in a 4-H fashion event in the 1970s. (Submitted photo)
“The tax laws in the 1940s prohibited using tax money to build 4-H buildings and grounds. Those laws were changed in the early 1950s,” Woodward said. “The other buildings were added when the 4-H Council was able to raise donated money to pay for these buildings.” Vivian Summeier and her sister, Betty Estridge, who have always been rooted in the 4-H community, have attended the Hamilton County 4-H fair for as long as they remember. During the past 75 years, the 4-H fair has had many changes, but it has always remained a fun event. “If you ask the kids what they enjoy, it’s the animals and the food,” Summeier said. The annual fair’s scope of projects has broadened and exhibits are held in buildings instead of tents. Judging for the event used to be done in private, but now the kids can listen to the judges’ comments, Summeier said. The Fashion Revue and the Queen Pageant, which always have been a traditional part of the fair, used to be held out in a field, said Estridge, who has been Queen Pageant chairperson for 17 years. “Then the girls would head over to model in the animal show arena. They would have to clean up the manure before they got there,” she laughed. Summeier, a member and volunteer of 4-H for more than 56 years, joined the organization in 1939 when she was 10 years old. She was excited to become a part of the organization from the moment her older sisters went to a 4-H camp, but she was too young to join. Summeier remained a member for 10 years, volunteered as a junior leader, served as a ceramics project leader and a Future Baker’s Inc. leader later in life. Estridge only participated in 4-H for a few
years when she was younger, but later in life she volunteered with the Carmel 4C’s club and served on the Hamilton County 4-H Extension Board. Both sisters served as 4-H Council chairpersons. Throughout the decades, 4-H has transformed from having club meetings held in schools to a widespread volunteer community activity, Summeier said. Projects have gone from “it’s not all the cows and cookies,” to just about any project the kids want to accomplish. The “learn by doing” motto is still prevalent, but has adapted with changes in society. Many areas of 4-H are trying to decrease the competitive nature of the program, Summeier said. “That beat-the-other-guy mentality is frowned upon these days,” she said. In present day, the traditional agricultural aspect of 4-H is not as across-the-board as it used to be, but still is relevant. There’s more focus on agro-business, Summeier said. As far as livestock are concerned, in the early days of 4-H, members had to own their own animals and the focus was on cows and pigs. Today, animals can be shared between members and there is an introduction to ducks, geese, chickens and other smaller animals. There’s a huge dog program in Hamilton county where you take your dogs and train them, Summeier said. There is also a llama program, Estridge added. In 75 years from now, Summeier hopes the organization continues to be a hands-on learning experience, that develops lifelong skills for the youth and provides a place for friendships to be made. “I would like to see it still focused on the individual doing and developing the skills that are relevant for the community in which they live,” she said.
In 1938, the Hamilton County Fair and 4-H Club Exhibit was held in tents at Forest Park and the girls’ projects were displayed at the Noblesville Armory. According to 1938 Extension Annual Reports 4,000 people were in attendance for the three-day event. 4-H Enrollment for 1938 was 160 boys and 303 girls • 19 girl clubs with nine volunteer leaders, two vocational teachers and 26 junior leaders • 11 boy clubs with six volunteer leaders Projects in 1938 • Entomology – Seven boys • Corn club – 29 boys • Potatoes club – Seven boys • Garden club – 24 boys, 10 garden exhibits • Tomatoes club – Four boys • Pig club – 40 boys and six girls, 80 pigs • Beef calf – 12 boys and one girl, 18 beef steers were shown • Colt club – 13 boys • Lamb club – Nine boys • Dairy club – 25 boys and three girls enrolled, 33 dairy calves • Poultry – 15 boys and three girls, 11 pens of poultry • Clothing – 182 girls • Baking – 103 girls and two boys, and canning had 43 girls.

Current in Carmel

Bring a healthy appetite
By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com
What would a county fair be without food? There are a lot of options available at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair – fair food some good, some not so healthy, and some you can only get once a year. Here are a few ways you can fuel up at the fair: Extension Homemakers’ Specials Those that need a break from the heat or spend all their time at the fair and need a home cooked meal should check out the Extension Homemakers’ Kitchen inside the Exhibition Center, southwest of Hall B. Breakfast is available 8 to 10:30 a.m. with specials available 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday to Sunday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday. This year’s meal schedule includes: Thursday – spaghetti and breadsticks; Friday – chicken & noodles; Saturday – meatloaf; Sunday – Swiss Steak; and Monday – ham & beans.
Producers’ Barbecue Outside in the commons area (next to the Small Animal Barn) is the individual species and joint producers’ food. The joint producers barbecue is available 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday to Monday. Individual species (food products that come from particular animals), which vary each day of the fair, are available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Days include: dairy, Thursday; rabbit and poultry, Friday; pork, Saturday; sheep, Sunday; and beef, Monday. Food Tents More than 15 food booths will be located right outside the Hamilton County 4-H Exhibition Center and in the 4-H Commons. Vendors include county 4-H clubs and local churches, organizations and businesses. Each tent will offer something different – milkshakes, candy, fruit slushies, corn on the cob, chicken fingers, elephant ears, gyros, walking tacos, etc. While every vendor can sell water, soda pop can be purchased in the Junior Leader Soda Shop next to the entrance of the Small Animal Barn.

IBC is the agency through which lifesaving blood and blood components are supplied to more than 60 member hospitals throughout central and southern Indiana. IBC provides vital assistance to modern medicine through other related services including specialized blood typing for organ transplants, viral marker testing, tissue banks and the National Marrow Donor Program.
Homemade ice cream contest – Bring the family recipe and join the fun at the Homemade Ice Cream Contest at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair on July 19. The contest will be at 7 p.m. in the 4-H Commons on the east side of the Show Arena. The contest is open to all Hamilton County residents. Each team of two to four people will have 40 minutes to make its favorite ice cream recipe. Prizes will be awarded in three categories. They are: all flavors – electric freezer, all flavors – crank freezer and youth (ages 19 and under). A special award will be given to the team who best demonstrates the “Art of Ice Cream Making.” Participants using recipes with eggs must use cooked eggs, egg substitutes or powdered eggs. Teams must furnish their own supplies and register in the 4-H Office by 5 p.m. July 19. For more information or a registration form, visit www3.ag.purdue.edu/counties/hamilton/Documents/ IceCreamContest.pdf or contact the Purdue Extension Hamilton County Office at 776-0854. Help 4-Hers feed the hungry – Hamilton County residents can join the Hamilton County 4-H Program, Riverview Hospital and Good Samaritan in the ninth annual “4-H CAN Make a Difference” food drive in conjunction with the Hamilton County 4-H Fair.

The food banks strive to acquire nutritious food for low-income families and individuals in our community. Drop off items in Exhibition Center Hall B during the 4-H Fair July 18 through 23.
Pet parade – Youth and their pets can explore their creativity by dressing in costumes to participate in the Hamilton County 4-H Pet Parade on July 21.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP More vitality coming to City Center tract
Losing focus It is our position that the alarming increase in the diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, more commonly known as ADHD, should be closely monitored. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diagnosis of the disorder has escalated more than 50 percent in the U.S. during the past 10 years with one in five high school-aged boys being diagnosed. The most commonly prescribed treatments are stimulants commonly known as “study drugs.” Unfortunately, many of the individuals prescribed these “study drugs” are now distributing them among fellow students who don’t have prescriptions for the drugs, thereby using them as “mental steroids.” These drugs also are addictive and can cause anxiety. Since the diagnosis of ADHD is purely based on feedback from patients, parents and teachers, the question must be begged, “Why the increase in diagnosis and is drug therapy really necessary in all cases?” Interestingly, diagnosis of ADHD is not nearly as high in Hispanic and African American populations. Possibly the difference is due to lack of education on the issue, social stigma or varying perceptions of lack of concentration being categorized as a “disorder” that needs treatment. If the trend in “brain juicing” continues to escalate, it is a very troubling sign indeed.
Air traffic control Commentary by Terry Anker In the modern world, we have a strong variety of choice at our disposal. A dizzying array of food, lifestyle, and other options arrive in waves prompted by the stunning success of our capitalistic system from the past quarter of a millennium or so. Our grandparents (or even parents) would be amazed by the thousands of options of new products and services available to enhance or extend life. In the area of transportation alone, automobiles are safer, faster and more efficient and luxurious than at any previous time in our history. Airplanes fill the skies such that most cities of any consequence are all scrambling to invest in enlarged or redeveloped airports to keep up with the volume. This new-found mobility has flooded the roadways with scores of commuters overwhelming capacity and leading to calls for more efficient means of conveyance like the efforts aimed at regional transportation. But in the context of these seismic shifts in
consumer habits, one still has to figure out the best way to get from Indianapolis to Chicago for the mother-in-law’s birthday party. There was a time, in a U.S. domestic pre-terror world, that the fastest way to make the trip was a commuter flight. The airport was closer (the new terminal is great but it seems to take 30 minutes longer to get there) and the lines were short. One could arrive, park and board a plane in a third the time it now takes. Today is a very different story. The good folks at the Airport Authority (the name conjures up brown shirts and jack boots) work hard to make air travel stress-free, but when is it simply easier to drive? Is it distance, time or TSA agents who seem angry at you before you meet them that determines the route?

It’s looking like Carmel City Center will have a boost in the not-too-distant future, bringing added vitality with the coming construction of The Nash. It’s a $10-million, public-private partnership between the city and Pedcor, which developed City Center, and it is the next phase in making reality a true downtown hub of activity at City Center Drive and South Range Line Road. The three-story building is an idea whose time has come. We like the way central Carmel is evolving, and the addition of 31 apartments of varying layouts and 8,000 square feet of street-front commercial space is appealing from aesthetic and economic-development standpoints. The project represents the combined vision of Mayor Jim Brainard and developer Pedcor’s president and CEO, Bruce Cordingley. Underground parking should set the table for even more pedestrian traffic at street level, which should bring about a certain vibrancy. And the project will rise out of the soil with more dispatch than did City Center, whose construction progress, begun in March 2006, severely was hampered by the cratered economy. The Carmel Redevelopment Commission is administering this project, which is responsible for the redevelopment efforts of both the Carmel City Center and Carmel Arts & Design District. City spokeswoman Nancy Heck stated the CRC manages other public-private partnerships where city land is being redeveloped to improve economic growth of targeted areas. Brainard and the Carmel City Council are responsible for the appointment of CRC members. The design will be New Urbanism. The CRC and the City Council have allowed Pedcor to use the property taxes that would have been paid on the building to pay the debt on parking-area construction. Pedcor can then invest in an additional level on the building, increasing the overall tax income on the property, Heck stated. It makes sense to us, and we’re enthused by the continued development of the 88-acre tract. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

She pulls her in every time
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
I confess. This past weekend I committed a cardinal sin of parenting. No, I didn’t divulge Yogurtz plans to a toddler before humor we were actually pulling into the parking lot (that would be madness!) or retract a disciplinary verdict once the tears began (their tears, not mine), but I did break a mommy rule that I constantly critique other parents for disregarding. And though it pains me to admit that I am, on occasion, less than perfect, I’m hoping you can learn from my mistake. Here it goes. I engaged in an irrational argument with my 9-year-old daughter. There. I said it. I know, I know, I wasn’t in a good place when I went to check on her, and I should have walked away as soon as I saw that she was safe. But I was tired and irritable and as soon as she began crying and screaming, well . . . I just got sucked right in. Something about how I had lied to her and had broken my promise of staying away from people who smoke, including my husband Doo (because now I was going to die from lung cancer) . . . ugh, she made me so angry that I jumped right into the crazy and treated her as if she were a hostile, adult witness. Of course, as soon as I removed myself from the controversial situation, albeit way too late, I thought, “You’re an idiot, Danielle.” Doo concurred. “You know better than to engage her! She’s a
drama queen. She’s going to push all of your buttons so she can get and keep your attention.” I hate it when he’s right. I honestly think God gave me a gorgeous little girl/future Oscar winner as penance for my tendency to judge others’ parenting decisions. Not to their faces, of course. That’s just mean. But behind closed doors unfortunately, analyzing the way other people handle their children is, and always has been, one of my favorite pastimes. (At least it’s not porn!) In my defense, I empathize now, too, though that piece of maturity apparently goes unnoticed by God as He seems to enjoy watching me struggle almost daily with a precocious tween. It’s just so much harder to squelch tantrums when you’re emotionally involved. I have no issue dealing with nieces and nephews when they lose their wheels, but as soon as it’s one of mine, in particular a daughter, I can’t seem to stay “above the fray.” I completely disregard the “Shallow Water” sign and dive in head first. Stupid. We all have our parenting challenges; mine is avoiding middle-school arguments with my children. Ah, well. Who wants Yogurtz? Peace out.

Bob Carter is dead, but not Sammy Saturday night cat attack special Commentary by Mike Redmond
The news came in the form of a text that said, simply, “Sammy Terry died.” How sad. And how wrong. If you took a look at the World Wide Interweb humor thingie in the days after the story broke, with comments by the hundreds on Facebook, you would have seen that Sammy Terry was more alive than ever in the memories of all us kids who peeked from behind sofa pillows (or, in the case of my brother, the sofa itself), when “Nightmare Theater” was showing on WTTV Channel 4. The death of Bob Carter, who created and played Sammy from 1962 to 1989, brings a couple of ideas to mind. The first is how much fun it used to be to watch a scary movie. Of course, my definition of scary has little in common with what passes for a scary movie today, unfortunately. I’m a big fan of the classic monsters – Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy. Why? Because despite the visual impact of the monsters themselves, their movies rely on your mind to do most of the scaring. Blood and gore – the stock in trade for scary movies for the last three decades or so – aren’t necessary. The sight of the Frankenstein monster coming to life or Dracula’s riveting stare was more than enough to send a kid’s imagination into
high gear. One of the greatest – and spookiest – shots in any classic monster movie has to be in The Mummy, after Im-Ho-Tep comes back to life. As he shuffles away, the camera fixes on a piece of linen trailing after him out of the room, and you just know bad things are going to start happening. Bob’s death (I met him a couple of times so I’m taking the liberty of calling him Bob) also brings to mind how much we’ve lost with the death of local entertainment television. Kiddie shows like “Cowboy Bob’s Corral,” “Janie,” and “Harlow Hickenlooper” were just the beginning. Remember Jim Gerard’s interview show? I always thought that was one of the best things about being home from school. Oh, well. That’s why we have memories, I guess. Which gets us back to Sammy Terry. Bob Carter, the man who played spooky ol’ Sammy on Channel 4 during the 60s, 70s and 80s, might have gone, but Sammy himself? He’ll be around forever, or at least for as long as guys like me remember his spooky laugh, his spider George, and the creepy-campy fun of the classic monster movies he loved.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
As of this past Saturday morning, I had nothing to write about. Then the cat bit my wife. I know, a cat bite is nothing humor to make fun of. Neither was my lung biopsy, but I managed to crank out an entire humor column about that several weeks ago. Mary Ellen had pretty much forgotten about the feline attack, but that night after dinner with friends, she casually mentioned the redness on her ankle while on the way home in the car. Bob and Cathy, both armed with their iPhones, were in the back seat googling away, entering phrases like: Fatal cat bites and, lethal kitten puncture wounds. Once Bob and Cathy had convinced my wife that the swelling was either pasteurella multocida or staphylococcus aureus, we headed for the nearest walk-in med center. I know that’s a really dumb way to spend a Saturday night with friends, but with my wife’s excellent health insurance, it was actually a cheaper evening than all four of us going to the movies. Before she was treated, Mary Ellen had to fill out a form. The first part was titled “Victim Information.” The second section was labeled “If the Victim Was an Animal,” which is either the kind of man-bites-dog story I’m always looking for as a reporter, or if it’s a dog bites dog story, then I want to be there with a news
crew when Fido picks up a pen and fills out that form. The receptionist said there was a long line to see the doctor and requested that Mary Ellen put herself on the waiting list and come back in an hour or so. I told the nurse that the next time my wife needed medical attention like this, we’d try to call about 45 minutes before she planned to torment the cat. Mary Ellen did not think that was funny. Cats and dogs aren’t the only attacking culprits. In fact, one part of the form provided a list of species that could potentially bite a human. They were in alphabetical order, so the first one on the list was bats, and number two was cattle (which I think would be embarrassing to admit to.) Okay, maybe a mad cow, but how do you let an entire herd bite you? When we finally saw the doctor, he confirmed the potential severity of a cat wound and suggested that an X-ray be taken to be sure the ankle bone had not been penetrated. Cathy, who was by now the leading cat bite expert in Central Indiana, wanted to know why that procedure was necessary. “Because the cat is now missing two front teeth,” I told her.

AUTISM CLINIC OF INDIANA
New hope for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans Accepted Genetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing “While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments. Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN
“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.
• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having difficulty making friends? • IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions? • FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home? • HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep? • ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions? If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.
People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing. Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.” - Renee and Ted Zlotopolski, Arnold, MO

Cartoonist was drawn west
Commentary by Tim Campbell
Most of you only know me as the guy offering up the weekly Currentoon in the paper, but I thought I would break tradition and try my skills at communicating with more verbiage and less visual. Last week, I ventured to the American West and attended my first convention of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists in Salt Lake City. Having arrived a day early, I spent most of my first afternoon walking the city visiting Temple Square, The Pioneer Museum (Utah’s attic), The Capitol building and a local downtown pub appropriately named “The Beerhive” (Utah is the “Beehive” state), where I received the unfortunate education that only 3.2 beer is served locally. Hello, vodka. The first day of the convention was held at The Leonardo (a cool museum combining science and art) and featured various sessions on The Art of Controversy. The highlight of the day came in the evening with the annual Cartoonist Death Match at the Tavernacle Piano Bar. In this event, four editorial cartoonists were given the chance to show their cartooning skills (and their firm grasp of foul language). Fortunately for the patrons of the Tavernacle, the participants were mercifully shot with a Nerf gun if they ran over their allotted time. The eventual champion was Steve Benson of The Arizona Republic, but I’m sure the judges’ decision still is in dispute as of this writing. The second day also was filled with various sessions on our craft, but the most interesting for myself was a discussion given by Jann Haworth. Jann, along with her former husband, designed the cover of The Sgt. Pepper’s Lonley Hearts Club Band album back in the 1960s. Along with many tales she shared about the Beatles and the album cover, the most amusing story she told concerned getting written permission from the various (living) celebrities that were to have their likenesses included on the cover.

Club. Thankfully, an explanation of the album cover’s concept was given and her classic image is included for eternity. Perhaps the most epic event for all of us occurred at the Natural History Museum of Utah where we spent an evening with a living legend in our profession, the great Pat Oliphant. Oliphant has been doing editorial cartoons since most of us were eating crayons. He charmed and delighted us at 77 years young in his Australian and tales of the good ol’ days when newspapers were abundant and lampooning former President Richard Nixon in caricature was a daily delight. Overall, I found my first AAEC convention to be phenomenal with respect to the people I met. It’s an amazing and satisfying feeling to be surrounded by so many people I admire (many of them Pulitzer Prize recipients); I came to realize they already knew of me and my work before I arrived. I left Carmel as a fan of all these talented and passionate people and returned from Salt Lake as their friend. I can’t wait for next year’s convention.

SOR musicians hit the road
By Kathleen Devaney • editorial@youarecurrent.com Just like Jack Black got his band to battle in the movie “School of Rock,” Carmel’s own School of Rock battled it out June 29 and 30 at Summerfest, “the world’s largest music Music festival” in Milwaukee, Wisc. SOR bands played stages at Summerfest among artists like Pitbull, The Silversun Pickups, Alice Cooper and others. This year’s Battle of the Bands competition was called Gemba (which is Japanese for the “real place.”) There were 30 bands representing 21 Schools of Rock from across the country competing. The winner of the entire SOR competition hailed from Seattle, Washington. While SOR Carmel may not have made it into the six final bands to compete, the school of just more than a year old rocked out and played perfectly. “We were proud of our kids,” said the owner of SOR Carmel Steve McFarland. “In the end, the kids got an experience most musicians would kill for... playing on big stages at the largest music festival in the world, they met new friends, and saw just how good they can become when they stick with it.” SOR Carmel played six songs from a variety of artists. “Our covers of Led Zepplin, Soundgarden and the Doobie Brothers were flawless,” McFarland said.

Bands were judged by members of the Cold War Kids, the guitarist from Bowie, the drummer from Stray Cats and others. SOR Carmel consisted of 13 band members, ages ranging from 11 to 17 years old. Members played with different members depending on each song. “We don’t actually put kids in bands, we cast a show,” McFarland said. Since SOR Carmel has been open, bands have played venues such as Old National Centre, The Hard Rock café Indianapolis and the Van’s Warped Tour. The drummer for SOR Carmel, Cameron McLenaghen, said he was excited for Summerfest because it’s a good opportunity. “I’ve played a lot of shows before so I’m not nervous,” he said. SOR Carmel of whom has about 100 students, all mostly joined at beginners experience levels.

To ensure the safety of Hamilton County 4-H Fair patrons, organizers are taking extra precautions – “over and above what the Indiana Board of Animal Health have recommended” according to Bill Rice, Hamilton County ag and natural resources extension educator. “We understand a lot of people want to see the animals but we’re just trying to think of their safety,” he said. “We’re discussing asking the public not to enter the (swine) barn. This is all part of public health safety to protect them.” Patrons should know that you can’t get swine flu from eating pork products. It’s a respiratory virus that’s passed the same way any other flu is spread, through droplet infection. Since there is no vaccine available for people to protect against this virus, the best way to prevent infection is to avoid sources of exposure to the virus. Rice said animal move-in day is July 17, before the start of the 4-H fair on July 18, but this year all swine will not be allowed on the fairgrounds until July 19. The incubation time is estimated at 72 hours and IBAH officials say the shorter amount of contact hogs have together the less likely the influenza A will pass from animal to animal. Rice added that like all animals, swine will be subjected to a check from a veterinarian before being allowed in the barn. “Those animals not going to the livestock auction will leave Monday morning,” he said. Unlike many counties, Rice said Hamilton County is requiring that their swine have two doses of the influenza A vaccination – with the last dose administered before June 30. “We’ll have a signed, notarized affidavit to that affect,” he said. “With the 72-hour period and vaccination protocol, we’ve certainly minimized

the risk,” In addition to an increased number of hand sanitizer stations at barn entrances and across the fairgrounds, Rice also suggests that parents with young children carry them when walking through barns. “They are at the same level of the animals breathing and try to touch them,” he said. Emily Peterson and her sister, Jenna, have two hogs each. Both are aware of the rule changes this year. “I think the shots are a good thing because it prevents the disease in the barn,” Emily said. “People come to the fair to see the animals.” Both girls said the biggest change will be the care of their animals. Since both show more than one species, move-in day is usually a long one as they prepare the temporary living quarters for their animals. This year, they will have to go through the process twice and care for their swine at home as their animals are at the fair. “We usually stay at the fair until 10:30 or 11 o’clock,” Jenna said, adding she’ll have to wake up earlier and leave the fair earlier when her hogs are not at the fairgrounds. Variant influenza A H3N2v was identified in Indiana last year, with a total of 138 cases in 2012.

Is your jewelry protected?
Commentary by Jamie Ianigro
Question from Anonymous from Zionsville: I’m getting ready to buy an expensive piece of jewelry. What do I need to do to make sure it’s properly protected? Insurance Response from Jamie Ianigro: Congratulations! I hope you get the answer you’re hoping for. As you have recently realized, jewelry is high-valued, easily lost or destroyed and vulnerable to theft. Jewelry is covered on a standard home policy, but usually has a special limit on the total amount of coverage (usually a few hundred dollars). It doesn’t sound like a few hundred dollars is going to cover your potential purchase. Luckily, there are a few options available to protect your jewelry. Adding an endorsement to your home policy is the easiest way to protect your jewelry, but you can also purchase a separate policy or roll the dice and leave it uninsured. When deciding which method you are going to go with, there are a few questions you should keep in mind: • Does the coverage consider jewelry values that increase over time? • Does it cover mysterious disappearance (it’s gone, but you don’t know when or how it disappeared)? • What causes of loss does the policy cover and exclude?
The next thing you need to figure out is what your piece of jewelry is worth. Since this item will be newly purchased, you have a store receipt or certificate from the jeweler. If you don’t have a receipt or the item has not been appraised recently, it’s time to seek out an expert and get an updated appraisal. Sometimes a jewelry store that you frequent will offer free appraisals, but usually you have to pay for an appraiser’s services. The American Society of Appraisers is a good resource if you’re looking for an appraiser. You can use the “Find an Appraiser” feature on their appraisers.org website. It is common practice to have your appraisals updated every three to five years. In addition, there are a few other things you should consider doing: • Take photos of your jewelry from several angles • Keep original receipts and appraisals • Consider keeping your jewelry in a hidden safe or storage area Make sure you’re not being overprotective though. Jewelry is bought to be worn and can’t be enjoyed sitting in a safe. Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered?

Owners of Matt the Miller’s to expand By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com CLB Restaurants, a Columbus, Ohio, restaurant group which owns and operates Matt the Miller’s Tavern in Carmel City Center, has recently consolidated its three Matt the Miller’s entities into a single holding company. “We undertook the merger to help put the company in a position for growth,” said Craig Barnum, president of CLB Restaurants. “The merger will help us meet our goal of opening two restaurants per year.” The original Matt the Miller’s Tavern opened in 2008, in Dublin, Ohio. The second location was opened in Grandview, Ohio, in 2011, and the Carmel location in September, 2012. The company also operates an Italian concept called Tucci’s in Dublin. “The Carmel restaurant has become our flagship restaurant and has performed well beyond expectations in its first year,” Barnum said. As a result, CLB is planning a second restaurant for City Center, a new concept called The Langton’s Irish Pub, within the next year. The concept behind Matt the Miller’s, according to company representative Jennifer Dring, “Is to offer an upscale feel without the upscale price, and to be a community gathering place.

Teotihuacan is an ideal solution for pyramid seekers. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Mexico’s pyramids rival Egypt’s Commentary by Don Knebel
For anyone with an insatiable desire to see ancient pyramids and for whom a trip to Egypt is out of the question, Travel a trip to Mexico offers an ideal solution. Just a few miles from Mexico City are the monumental pyramids of Teotihuacan, one of the world’s most important cities during the first millennium. Teotihuacan was founded as a religious center on a highlands plateau in about 200 B.C. By 600 A.D., Teotihuacan had a population of up to 200,000, making it the largest city in what are now the Americas and the sixth largest city in the world, about a third the size of Constantinople. Multi-story apartment buildings accommodated the large urban population, which included skilled potters and artists whose remarkably well preserved murals are still on display. Teotihuacan’s brick and stone pyramids are connected by a broad boulevard. The Pyramid of the Sun, constructed in about 100 A.D. along the boulevard, is the third largest pyramid in the world. At 733 feet per side, its base is about the size of that of the Great Pyramid of Giza but it rises only half as high. The Pyramids of the Moon and of the Feathered Serpent, at opposite
ends of the boulevard, are smaller but equally impressive. The pyramids of Teotihuacan were built as places of worship, with temples to influential gods on their flattened summits. Bodies buried in the pyramids with their hands tied have been interpreted as sacrifices to those gods, probably made at the times the temples were dedicated. Teotihuacan collapsed in the seventh or eighth centuries. When Aztecs later discovered the ruins, they gave the city its current name, which means “the birthplace of the gods.” Mistaking the pyramids for tombs, they named its boulevard the “Avenue of the Dead.” Americans often assume they must cross an ocean to see the important cities of antiquity. But at about the time Rome was falling to the barbarians, Teotihuacan in nearby Mexico rivaled the great cities of the world in size and influence. A trip there provides the bonus of seeing a collection of pyramids whose only real rivals are in Egypt. Don Knebel is a Zionsville resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

What about the Oxford comma? Commentary by Jordan Fischer
Question: “Have the rules for serial commas changed? When I was in school, it was ‘red, white and blue’ (the grammar guy second comma being unnecessary with the ‘and’), but in my children’s school books, it appears to be ‘red, white, and blue.’ Is there a rule about this?” (David Ballard) Answer: Thanks for writing in, David. The serial, or Oxford, comma is a popular point of contention between writers and grammar enthusiasts. It’s also the name of a popular single by the band “Vampire Weekend,” but that’s not really germane to this column. To answer your question: Yes, there is a rule about the serial comma – many of them. Which rule you abide by tends to be decided by what country you’re in or what style guide you follow. The “Chicago Manual of Style,” Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style,” and the AMA and APA stylebooks all mandate the use of the serial comma. It is also mandated by the “Oxford Style Manual” (thus an “Oxford comma”). The typical reasoning behind using the serial comma is to create
uniformity and to eliminate ambiguity about the relationship between the last two items in a series. On the flip side, omitting the serial comma has its proponents as well: “The New York Times Stylebook;” the AP Stylebook (used by the vast, vast majority of newspapers and magazines in the U.S.); the style guide of “The Economist,” the “Cambridge Guide to English Usage;” etc. Why not use the serial comma? The argument goes that it is redundant in simple lists since there is already a conjunction separating the last two items. On this particular grammar debate, in the end it’s a matter of choice and consistency. If you’re writing for a medical journal, or following the Chicago (or agreeing) style guide, use the serial comma. If you’re writing for a newspaper or magazine, omit the serial comma. Otherwise, pick a side, grab a style book and join the debate. Nobody likes a fight like grammar nerds.

The art of fabric selection
Commentary by Vicky Earley
Knit & Crochet Classes • Shopping • Fun
fabric feels when it is touched and how it drapes when held. Descriptions such as softness, crispness, dryness and silkiness are all terms that describe the hand of the fabric. Pattern is just as important to consider with window treatments. Remember that any pattern will be lost when the fabric is actually a drapery due to the pleating. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in Carmel. If you have an interior design question, please contact artichokedesigns@aol.com.

Recently, I was shown a fabric that a client had hoped to use to recover her sofa. The fabric was decorating purchased from the clearance rack at a local fabric store and met her need for a color match. She wanted my blessings before moving forward. Without saying a word, I took her swatch and with just five scrapes of a fingernail, I was able to dig a hole in the fabric. Needless to say, this was not a textile suitable for upholstery usage. It might have worked for a drapery application but it would have been a complete disaster on furniture. Upholstery fabrics have to withstand the lifestyle of those in the home. They are typically made of durable fibers and often backed with latex for stability. The durability of an upholstery candidate is indicated by a double rub factor. This is also referred to as the Wyzenbeek factor which is a testing system that indicates the ability of a fabric to resist surface wear caused by rubbing contact with another fabric – 15,000 is the minimum for heavy duty upholstery usage. Fiber blends are frequently the best choice as the negatives of one fiber can be balanced by a positive of another. Linen that is blended with polyester will be far more resilient to wrinkling, and polyester that is paired with cotton has a nicer sheen than poly alone. Upholstery is intended for the long haul so the pattern is just as important to consider. A floral or plaid all over a sofa or sectional can be overwhelming. A solid texture is an ideal choice as the accent pillows can be changed as tastes change. Ideal window treatment fabrics will feature different qualities. An ideal textile depends on the room and the application. Fabrics for drapery can be loose and delicate while a cornice or shade can be stiffer or coarse. The drapability of a fabric is indicated by “the hand.” This term simply means the way the

Do you equip or enable others? Commentary by Kristen Boice
Do you tend to make excuses for the behavior or choices of others? Do you want to rescue or save others? Do you relationships want to help people and end up feeling exhausted? Are you working harder than the other person? Do you do things for others or stuff your feelings just to keep the peace? Do you rationalize or minimize other people’s choices or behavior in order to keep from being embarrassed? These are all key questions when exploring whether or not you are an enabler. What exactly does it mean to be an enabler? Enablers have good intentions of helping other people yet they provide solutions and fix things for others preventing them from suffering their own consequences. Ultimately, people never learn the lessons they need to make better choices and grow. Enablers end up doing the work for them and the person floats along without solving their problems. There is a big difference between enabling and equipping people. When we equip someone, we give the person the information or guidance and then let that person make their own decisions. We let go of the outcome and understand it is out of our control and the other person has to want to help themselves. We also let the person know they can handle it on their own. We understand we are doing a
disservice to another if we try to save or rescue them. They have to want to help themselves. We model what it looks like to have good boundaries by saying “No” when necessary. There is an understanding that we are all responsible for our own decisions. We empower others to step into who they are and help them learn from every decision they make. On the other hand, an enabler tends to want to save and rescue others. Enabling doesn’t allow the other person to make their own choices and understand the connection to the consequences. Many people have to learn from experience to not repeat the same mistakes. Enablers have a hard time seeing someone struggle and learn from their own choices. They take responsibility for other’s choices and somehow feel responsible themselves. We can often see an enabling pattern with parents. The best job we can do as parents is equip our children so they can make the best choices. Let them learn from their own choices and understand the cause and effect between choices and consequences both positive and negative. Ask yourself, “Am I equipping or enabling them?” before taking action. Kristen Boice is an individual, couples and family counselor and speaker with Pathways to Healing Counseling & Education.

BEACH-READY ABS Confidence is the best accessory for your bikini, and there’s no better way to gain that confidence than with a good ‘ol fashion workout. Since it is bikini season, focusing on your abs can result in quick toning if paired with proper cardiovascular activity. Pair this toning ab workout with three to five days of cardiovascular exercise. You might surprise yourself with incredible results! SWISS SPORTS SWING Lie back, knees bent, feet flat on floor, arms at sides, palms down. Extend right arm overhead and left leg straight out, then bring right hand and left foot up toward each other as you curl your upper back off floor. Exhale; lower. Do 20 reps, then repeat on opposite side. TRUNK TWISTER Stand with feet together, arms down, elbows bent to 90 degrees. Jump about 6 inches to left as you twist torso right 45 degrees. Repeat in opposite direction for 1 rep. Do 3 sets of 20 as fast as you can. HIP SWIVEL Get into a plank position, resting on forearms with your hands clasped. Lift butt toward ceiling while rotating left hip toward floor; return to plank. Repeat on right side for 1 rep. Do 3 sets of 20. Admire your rock-star abs in the mirror.
Gel – Gel is great for almost every hair type and it will provide control and shine, while also enhancing volume. Ideal for spiking shorter hair, or laying down longer hair. Hold = 4 (Salon 01 suggests Gage Shaping Gel). Cream – Creams are less shiny then gels or pomades and work best on medium to long hair of any texture to build volume and density. Hold = 4 (Salon 01 suggests Gage Shaping Cream). Paste – Use this if you have thick and/or straight hair to improve texture and to achieve maximum control. Hold = 5 (Salon 01 suggests Gage Shaping Paste). SALON 01 Q&A: YOU ASKED, WE ANSWER! “How can I get smoother hair without damaging it?” We have a couple options at Salon 01 to get the smooth, silky hair you desire! The first is the Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatment or the Express Keratin Blowout. These services infuse keratin into your hair’s cuticles without overloading your hair with chemicals. The treatments are then sealed in with high heat from a flat iron. Generally, the results from these treatments last about six to eight weeks, depending on how well you maintain the upkeep regimens. The second option, which has become our most popular, is the Brazilian Blowout. This service enriches hair with amino acids and acai berry extract and creates a smooth silky finish that lasts up to 12 weeks. Each of these treatments will eliminate frizz in your hair as well as reduce drying and styling time.

Simple solutions can also be smart choices
Commentary by Randy Sorrell
For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US
PC or MAC? Me, I’m a Mac junkie. Our business and family successfully transitioned a few years ago after an avalanche outdoors of viruses and clunky programs. We have been thrilled with the ease and how solutions seem to flow naturally. Our creative “green” industry is ripe for forward programs and the elegant Apple world. The biography of Steve Jobs, authored by Walter Isaacson, celebrates the brilliance of simplifying, among other progressive views, and his fruitarian lifestyle. His outrageously strong opinion proved that when implemented correctly, simple can also be very smart. Easy to operate. Gorgeous. Stunning. Simple. Smart. Brilliant. Curiously, the same can be said regarding outdoor living spaces and the design thereof. Complicated spaces can be a challenge to navigate and difficult to appreciate. Our interpretation of this brilliant simplicity translates to oversized patio landings, gracious step systems with flowing treads/risers, clean materials, natural stone, the use of anything real, repurposing where appropriate and plants that perform multiple functions (shade, privacy, color, fragrance, intrigue). The featured natural boulder retaining wall is oddly synonymous to the PC or MAC dilemma. Sure, the wall could have been constructed out

Subway tiles are still a good choice

These rectangular shaped indoors tiles are excellent for creating a current, contemporary look that still feels very timeless. Today, subway tiles are being used in backsplash designs, flooring and more. The subway tile design first debuted in the New York City underground subway system back in the early 1900’s. The sleek, contemporary design quickly caught on with the general public, and soon the entire country was decorating kitchens and bathrooms with these “subway” tiles. Back then, most subway tiles were made from ceramic, measured 3 x 6 inches, and came in white. The key to their popularity was their ability to make any room look more open and airy. Plus, they were stain resistant and easy to keep clean, which was a huge bonus for homeowners who didn’t have the luxuries of modern cleaning equipment. More than 100 years have passed since those first tiles were laid, and subway tiles remain as popular as ever. Ceramic is still the most popular material, because it is easy to clean and maintain, but subway tiles can be found in almost every color, texture and finish imaginable, you can be sure that there is an option available to match any home décor. Manufacturers have even
reworked the 3 x 6 inch size standard. Now, almost any rectangular tile with a height twice its length is classified as a “subway tile.” The two most popular places where homeowners install subway tiles are in the kitchen and bathroom. But they’ve made the leap into other spaces that benefit from easy-care surfaces Subway tiles are easy to maintain. (Submitted photo) such as laundry rooms, basements and fireplace designers have used subway tiles to create dissurrounds. Many people love the way they can create sleek, modern looking backsplashes or tile tinctive border or frame patterns. Place a border around the shower area, or frame your bathroom surrounds. Visually, the shape of the tile tends vanity space. And don’t forget, these types of tile to draw the eye upward, which makes the space accents are a great way throw in a pop of color seem wider and the ceilings appear higher. This that won’t overwhelm the space. is especially true for the larger-sized subway tiles.
