OUR VIEWS
It is our position that Hamilton County Parks and Jesse and Beulah Cox can take great pride in the work now underway at our own Coxhall Park & Gardens. The property donated by the now-deceased couple (and its accompanying endowment) includes 125 acres (which have already been improved by the addition of gardens and a pair of spectacular carillons) and three houses. The most prominent of the edifices, which was inspired by the important colonial American building the Virginia Governor’s Mansion, is presently being upgraded to be used as a museum and event venue. With the addition of enhanced HVAC, fire suppression and appropriate contemporary accessibility, the structure will assume its rightful place as a centerpiece of our County’s park system. And more importantly, it will be available for ongoing use to our community. We cannot imagine a better realization of a philanthropic vision than the one being undertaken by Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Director Al Patterson and his crew. They are to be heartily congratulated. And, we look forward to the expected opening in the late autumn of this year. When visiting the park this summer, peek around the construction barriers and imagine the future – and our good fortune.
Missed trial
It is our position that, while we may not be happy with the outcome of the Casey Anthony trial, she stood trial before a group of our peers who decided the verdict. The American justice system, while not always perfect, is a much fairer and rational system then many other countries around the world. It’s easy for us to tag Anthony with the guilty tag, but fact of the matter is that we had non-stop media coverage giving us others opinions, while those on the jury only had what was discussed during the trial. It was the prosecutor’s job to prove that Anthony had, without doubt killed her daughter, and was unable to do so in the mind of the jury. We can complain about the final verdict in this case, but we should be thankful that we didn’t take the easy way out and convict her without hearing her side of the story like other countries might. All in all, we believe that the justice system worked as it was supposed to. If Casey Anthony did in fact kill her daughter, you can take solace in the fact that her life will not be much better outside prison than inside.

Family circles go deeper than DNA
FROM THE BACKSHOP Your tax dollars hard at work … or not We’re taking a week off from our usual sunny commendations to re-enter the realm of protecting our fellow taxpayers from government waste. Buckle up, because here we go: • Shame on our state Senate for earlier this year deciding to not eliminate the inheritance tax. Indiana needs to get on the bandwagon of states repealing such consequences. • The liberals in Congress are pushing for “revenue enhancements” in negotiating the raising of the debt ceiling. Does anyone seriously believe sending more money to Washington is going to help settle the debt epidemic? • A flood of unemployment insurance claims has overwhelmed the system, leading to record abuses and an overpayment rate of 11.6 percent, Labor Department figures reveal. State and federal officials are taking steps to stop fraud and waste, such as using as a new computer system that identifies workers who still receive benefits even though they’ve gotten a job. Interesting. And by turning over our health care to our “inventive” government, we’ll all save money. Right? Wrong. • Republican Mitt Romney has adapted former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s “Labour Isn’t Working” slogan. That, alone, denigrates her accomplish-
Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg ments. He can’t possibly match her leadership skills. We suppose it was only a matter of time before the spineless GOP would try to hook its broken-down wagon to the Thatcher Shelby GT. It’s really laughable Romney would suggest a comparison. • From the world of “Monuments to Me,” (a la Robert Byrd of West Virginia), Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who has been fighting against pork barrel spending in Congress, has been asked to sponsor a bill stating that no currently serving legislator or other government employee may have his or her name attached to any project paid for by taxpayer dollars. It was marvelously suggested that if they do, then they must erect a sign that simply says: “This was made possible by the taxpayers.”
COMMENTARY By Ellen Kizik In general, some people love their families, hate them or a little bit of both. Despite the circumstances, my family remains the foundation I build my life upon. The great thing about families is they come in many different shapes and sizes. In my life, I have been part of several different ‘families’. Ballet introduced me to the wonderful world of dance. The maroon tutu still hangs in my closet. Swimming is my second nature. As soon as I hit the lap pool, I became part of a swimming family. One stroke, head up in the water, inhale, head down and exhale. Pull, kick, swim. Those years in middle school and high school connected me to coaches, fellow swimmers and their families. I became part of a team. As I expanded my horizons, I was introduced to the world of fencing. Step, lunge, cut and slash. I hear a sound of a sabre pointed at me, another moment and attack. Learning to think on my feet is a life lesson from my fencing family. College years at Butler University offered new opportunities and interesting people. It opened a door into a world of universal knowledge. Learning is moving forward for me. Butler basketball team’s victories and losses always feel as my own. The ability to associate myself with one family or another has provided me with
a sense of belonging and the desire to fulfill expectations. That brings me to my first family and the qualities I value most. I have been lucky to have a strong family. Being an only child has really brought me closer to both my mom and dad. The relationship I have built over the years with them is very strong and the bond has proven to be unbreakable. This made me reflect on what being part of a family unit means to me. How has this affected me over the years? My parents’ relationship, their love, support and guidance are the glue that binds us together. I hope to start a family of my own in the future and will continue the traditions already instilled upon me. Since joining Current Publishing, I have become part of a great family. Sharing the responsibilities is one part, the other part is accepting and promoting a supportive atmosphere. It’s a work environment holding the necessary tools to grow both professionally and personally. As with any family, I can only hope for their love, care and support.

No qualms of living old for my age COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson My in-laws frequently tease me about many things, one being my preference for early dinner and bed times. “Danielle, It’s 4 p.m.,” they’ll snicker. “Shouldn’t you be in the cafeteria eating strained peas?” Ha ha. I get it. They think I’m an elderly person. But, I kind of like the geriatric lifestyle. Here’s why. Early bedtimes: All research supports the old adage that “Nothing good happens after midnight.” Plus, if you have DVR, why would anyone need to stay up late? Put your kids to bed at 7 and enjoy two blissful hours of adult time, then hit the sack. It’s win-win for everyone! Lots of sleep: My husband loves to burn the candles at both ends and he functions well on six or less hours of sleep. But, I develop acute nausea and headaches with anything fewer than eight hours. I can muddle through a night spent nursing a puking preschooler or comforting a sister in labor, but I am much nicer and prettier if I get my shuteye. No hangovers: Like most nursing home residents, I am a lightweight drinker. One beer is plenty to keep me chatty and happy; if I drank alcohol in the evening I would sleep poorly and risk my hours of beauty rest. So, I drink at lunchtime; the inevitable headache and dry mouth hit before dinner, and I feel splendid by bedtime.
Staying skinny: It’s a no-brainer eating heavy meals late in the evening can lead to heartburn and thigh fat. Your body doesn’t have time to process the meal before you lie flat for a third of your day. This is one of the reasons why I like eating dinner early, around 5:30 p.m. Does this schedule coincide with my grandmothers’? Yes, but mine weren’t obese and they lived well into their 80s. Early morning solitude: I have four children who can be the neediest little boogers in the world and I work full-time with demanding teenagers. Then there is Doo, the cat and gecko, the house, homework and soccer. So when is the only time to savor a cup of coffee or go for a jog? Six in the morning, before anyone is awake and wanting something from me. Thanks to all of the aforementioned reasons, my energy level allows me to be productive and have a good attitude about life. Although I could fit in at Sunrise Senior Community, I adore tapioca pudding, playing bingo and water aerobics. So bring it on, hecklers: This is my geriatric lifestyle, and I’m proud of it! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Shuttle newest addition to Eddy’s Sports Pub service By Jordan Fischer Current in Carmel Like portraits in an art gallery, flat screen televisions and hidefinition projectors fill the walls of Eddy’s Sports Pub in Noblesville – just to be sure every patron, said owner Scott Cullumber, has a “great view of the game.” Customer service is key for Cullumber and his staff, who said, despite a “Cheers” feeling the high number of regulars give to the bar, every newcomer is warmly greeted. Looking to expand that service further, in June Cullumber began offering patrons a shuttle ride back and forth from the Verizon Wireless Music Center. “The idea was convenience,” Cullumber said. “It can be a hassle getting in and out of (Verizon) for a concert. So, now not only came you come hang out and have a great time with us, but you don’t have to drive in and out of the venue, or deal with parking.” Available on concert nights, as well as Fridays and Saturdays, the shuttle is a $5 ride for patrons. According to Cullumber, the shuttle driver has rarely been wanting for passengers. “The response has been pretty good,” he said. “Everyone who has taken it has loved it.” And, he said, the shuttle hasn’t been bad for business, either. Cullumber is even looking to expand the availability of the shuttle services to include Sundays when the football season starts up in the fall. Eddy’s Sports Pub is located at 14160 Mundy Dr., Noblesville. For more information, visit http://www.eddyssportspub.com/, or call 317-773-3874.

and 96th Streets before fleeing a fatality. On July 20, 2006, officers pronounced 42-year-old Ronald S. Obsitnick Jr., from Lebanon, dead at the scene. Today, the case remains unsolved. As the anniversary nears, Carmel police are working to generate new activity about the incident. They want your help finding the person responsible, and for anyone with information about it to come forward. Police said the hit-and-run vehicle was a small black two-door sports car with a spoiler on the back. The vehicle should have extensive damage on the right (passenger) side from the crash. The car was traveling east when it cut in front of Obsitnick, who was traveling west, to turn north at the intersection. Reportedly, the car briefly stopped but fled after seeing the body of the victim. Anyone with information about the car or the crash is asked to call the Carmel Police Dept. at 571-2500. “Our hope of putting this out is that somebody that knows something will give us a call,” said Lt. Jeff Horner. Obsitnick worked part time as a Carmel Clay Schools Public Officer, according the news release. He also was a husband and father. “We’re just trying to get the word back out there,” Horner said. “Maybe something that doesn’t seem important will be a good lead.”

Committed Carmel volunteers honored at CarmelFest COMMENTARY By Jeff Worrell Crowds boomed in population at Carmelfest’s day and half spectacle this month. Traditionally, the audience swells to a maximum in anticipation of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra and crowd-pleasing fireworks finale. So what better venue for the Mayor of Carmel, Jim Brainard, to present Carmel’s highest award to four deserving Carmel citizens? The Range Line Pioneer Award was established by former Mayor Ted Johnson to recognize individuals, who contribute time to make Carmel a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. The first recipient to step onto the Gazebo stage with his family proudly looking on was Leo Dierckman. He played a major role in developing the beautification of Carmel as a longtime member of the Carmel Plan Commission. He also is the appointee to represent us on the Hamilton County Plan Commission. A longtime resident who inspires people half his age was honored with the award for his volunteerism in the community, 74-year-old Jack Badger. You will regularly see him volunteering at the Center for the Performing Arts, Carmel Dad’s Club, Carmel Clay Schools, Carmel United Methodist Church and Carmelfest. He will not rest until every Spark Button is sold and it is not unusual
to find him pruning trees or placing mulch in 80 degree-weather at Mark Badger Field. Sue Westermeier’s service to Carmel has spanned decades and puts her in many different roles. She served in the early days of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, helping shape the vision and direction of what Carmel’s central core could be. She is a current Carmel Plan Commissioner and an active member of Carmel Rotary. Her most inspiring project was the transformation of entertainment venues for Carmelfest. Gary Frey. If you do not recognize his name, you have been napping. This is the guy who turned Carmelfest into one of the premier festivals in the entire state. He puts his heart and soul into each Carmelfest production; always looking for improvements and ways to increase the population. Frey has made a difference and he will always be able to claim his work with pride. These four individuals are the most recent recipients of an award that highlights their service and brings well deserved honor to each of them. Thank you Leo, Jack, Sue and Gary. Jeff Worrell is a local businessman. He recognizes volunteers on “Connecting with Carmel” on cable channel 16. Contact him at jworrell@advantagemedical.com

Providing hope to homeless veterans By Ellen Kizik Current in Carmel Recently, two Carmel women with big hearts, have teamed up to start MyGoTo-HamiltonCountyIN.com. Lois Wyant’s and Shawn Linderman’s initiative is community-focused, with the primary goal to promote locally-owned businesses in Hamilton County. What sets their company apart is the secondary mission of their endeavor, which provides assistance to homeless veterans. By uniting with Save Our Veterans, MyGoTo hopes to get veterans off the streets. Wyant and Linderman met 12 years ago, when Wyant was hired to take photographs of Linderman and her son. Wyant and her husband, Jim, own Wyant Photography in Carmel. Now, Wyant and Linderman want to give back to the men and women who give us freedom. “Those veterans gave up their lives to protect the people of our country and it is time for us to protect and honor them,” Wyant said. “Many veterans return with difficulties, many have fallen through the cracks and gone unnoticed, Linderman said. “It is the mission of ‘MyGoTo’ to stand beside them in times of need.” According to Linderman, MyGoTo and Save Our Veterans work together to give veterans an opportunity to have a productive life and help those in need achieve their goals. Both programs will help veterans find housing, transportation and employment opportunities with

He was a leading expert in training soldiers to handle explosive devices. During a mission, he was exposed to high levels of radiation; he died six years later from cancer. The loss of her brother inspired Linderman to take action. MyGoTo provides such an opportunity.

Musician Bobby Hayden recalls his early success, the scars of addiction and his road to recovery By Jordan Fischer Current in Carmel “I’m the last person who should be sitting here telling this story.” Bobby Hayden says this without a trace of irony. The 55-year-old former child entertainer, turned hard-partying 1980s rock star has taken a long road to get to where he now sits: a private office in his sister Abbie Rogers’ Carmel residence, the walls lined with books on music, books on cooking, books on faith, and pictures of his nephews. The real life versions of which are audible in the next room as they watch the Chipmunks movie. “You think it’s just a party, but it’s a lifestyle,” Hayden said, his story trailing back through the cocaine-laced 80s, and then forward to alcoholism, heroin addiction and a near-decade spent living out of a cardboard box at the corner of 31 street and Broadway in Los Angeles. Hayden lifts the cuff of his jeans to reveal calves marred with craters – the remnants of thousands of heroin injections “muscled” into his legs after veins in his arms became too disused to accept the drug. “It killed a lot of my friends out there,” Hayden said. “By the grace of God, I made it out. But it was close.”
On stage, all the time
“My schedule was very weird,” Hayden said. “I never went to school; I just had tutors on the road.” At 8 years old, the Evansville-born Hayden was already gaining national attention as a stand-up singer, appearing on the Ted Mack Show, on the Johnny Carson Show, and on stage at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. As rock ’n’ roll began gaining national popularity, Hayden said his parents became worried about where music might take him. Eventually, they “pulled the plug” on his career, and theyput him back in high school. The showbiz bug had already bitten Hayden hard, however, and in 1979, he left home for Los Angeles, intending to make it as a musician. He found lodging with crew for rocker Ozzy Osbourne. That’s when, he says, he realized if he wanted to make it, he had to start writing his own songs. Hayden formed the Bobby Hayden Band with bass player Rick Bozzo and drummer Randy Castillo, who drummed for Osbourne, and later Mötley Crüe. The band toured with Poison and Def Leppard, and frequented MTV.

Then, Hayden said, “the sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll came into play.” “After the gig, you just couldn’t wait to party,” Hayden said. “In the ’80s, it was all about cocaine. It was out of hand. As soon as it wore off, you’d collapse. So you’d need more cocaine.” “Eventually, you need something to sleep,” Hayden said. “And that’s where the heroin comes in.”
On 31st & Broadway
“At first, I thought I was hustling,” Hayden said. “But, eventually I became that person. I became a professional panhandler.” After the drugs had overtaken the music, Hayden found himself living in a cardboard box on the streets of Los Angeles, begging for enough money to maintain his heroin addiction. In an attempt to disguise himself, Hayden grew a beard down to his waist, and effected a hunched posture when he walked. “A panhandler named Mark, this long-haired guy, came up to me one day and said, ‘Bobby, you’re going to die,’” Hayden said. “He said I had to start praying to Jesus.” So Hayden started praying to Jesus. And that’s when, he says, everything began turning around. A complete stranger bought him a bus ticket to Arizona. When he arrived, a homeless man he’d known in L.A., Greg Catenzero, was waiting for him. Catenzero and his mother, Shirley, put Hayden up in a five-bedroom house “in the middle of the desert,” and drove him to a drug rehabilitation clinic for methadone treatments everyday for six months. “Then one day, I just woke up and said, ‘I’m quitting everything,’” Hayden said. “That’s about the time my sister in Carmel called me up and said it was time to come home. They had

almost hired a private detective. They thought I was dead.” Three months after he moved back to Carmel, Hayden says a man from North Park Community Church called, inviting him to his first church service in 30 years. He went. At North Park, Hayden met a record producer named Orlando Jones, who invited him to visit his studio and cut a record. “I asked him where his studio was, and he said 31st Street and Broadway in downtown Indianapolis,” Hayden said. “So right there, I thought something was going on.” As of the beginning of July, Hayden had finished producing his second record of contemporary Christian music. A white board in
his office is filling up with performance dates, among them a show with Jon McLaughlin and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra at Connor Prairie on Sept. 10. From his office chair in suburban Carmel, Hayden says he now has a better view on all the twists and turns of his life. “There’s no doubt I was addicted to applause when I was younger,” he said. “And, without that, I think I went out chasing the same high.” As to the possibility of rekindling his former career, Hayden tempers his passion with hardearned wisdom. “It’s one thing to try to become famous for yourself,” Hayden said. “But, if you do it for other reasons… it just seems to work out better.”
Hayden’s music is available online through CDBabies.com. He has also begun teaching guitar, piano and voice lessons to students in the Carmel area. Information about lessons can be found online at www.bobbyhayden.net.

Current in Carmel Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation is a trailblazing example for Indiana state parks. In less than two decades of existence, CCPR is making its mark in Indiana wildlife. In 2009, CCPR and Indiana Wildlife Federation teamed up to become the first certified “Wildlife Friendly Park System” in Indiana by enhancing parks. CCPR and IWF became a model for success when Central Park earned the “Wildlife Friendly Park System” certification last year. CCPR continued its progress with the certification of West Park this month, prior to the Devotion to Wildlife concert with Indianapolis singer/songwriter, Jennie DeVoe. The Devotion to Wildlife concert proceeds supported CCPR’s project partner, IWF. The local nonprofit organization was built by Teddy Roosevelt’s vision of wisely using our country’s natural resources. IWF encourages Hoosiers to be active in nature and parks. They promote hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities allowing people to benefit from nature, while managing wildlife to maintain a healthy and sustainable environment.

DISPATCHES » Tarkington preview – The Center for the Performing Arts is presenting free performances during the month of July to preview its new Tarkington Theatre. To attend, call 843-3800 to reserve seats. Seating is limited. This week’s performances: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., Anita Hall and Everett Greene; Thursday, 7 p.m., Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre; July 26, 7 p.m., Heartland Truly Moving Pictures film screening. » Earth, Wind & Fire with ISO – American R&B, funk and rock band Earth, Wind & Fire will join the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for a special one-night-only performance Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. at The Lawn at White River State Park as part of the 1-800-Quit-Now Concert Series. Tickets are available now at LiveNation.com. » July gardening tips – 1. Extend the indoor life of your cut flowers by putting them in a solution that is one part water, one part clear soft drink (such as 7-Up, Sprite, etc.), and a few drops chlorine bleach. 2. Snip off the old flower clusters from rambler roses to encour-
age them to bloom all summer. 3. If you have thick, thriving phlox, thin the plants to four or five stalks per clump to provide adequate ventilation and avoid mildew. -www.almanac.com » Grilling mushrooms – Thinking of throwing mushrooms on the grill? Here’s what you should do. For four servings, take eight ounces of large white mushrooms. Trim and thread them onto skewers. Season by brushing them with two teaspoons of oil. Grill for 20 minutes, turning several times. -www.delish.com » Motorbike scam – Beware of this scam if renting a motorbike on vacation: The motorbike you have hired comes with a lock and two keys. You have one, and your rental company has the other. When you park the scooter and wander off, an enterprising person from the rental company arrives and “steals” your scooter, thus later requesting you pay a large sum of money to replace the “stolen” scooter. As you handed them your passport and you signed a contract, you’re obligated to pay for it. Carry your own lock and key and an old passport to avoid getting sucked into this scam. -www.lonelyplanet.com
The case for Caprese COOKING By Clint Smith My reticence in featuring a Caprese salad was rooted in my unflinching suspicion readers would glance at the recipe’s title only to supply an uninspired mental shrug. However, properly prepared, the effects are culinary art. You might notice tri-colored combinations of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil is a salute to the Italian flag. So in the spirit of trinities, I’ll offer three reasons why this dish is a classic. First is timing. La Caprese appears on menus during a seasonal window when ingredients are at
Caprese salad with basil oil and balsamic syrup Ingredients • 4 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced thick • 16 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced thick • 4 ounces fresh basil leaves • 8 ounces extra virgin olive oil • ½ cup premium balsamic vinegar • ½ tablespoon all-purpose flour Directions 1. For basil oil: drop two ounces of basil leaves in

their peak. Season popularity leads to my second reason: simplicity. You have two main components with the addition of basil; however, if you add an extra bit of personality and a touch of balsamic vinegar you have the ideal taste. It feels good to revisit familiar things. While familiarity may breed contempt, the classic La Caprese has earned an enduring exemption. Clint Smith is an honors graduate of The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, Le Cordon Bleu, and is currently a culinary arts instructor at Central Nine Career Center in Greenwood.

boiling water for 20 seconds until color becomes vibrant. Quickly plunge basil into ice-cold water to retain color. Remove, pat dry, and add to a blender. Pour in olive oil and blend (adding more oil if needed) until oil is bright green. Strain mixture through mesh sieve and set aside. 2. For syrup: in small sauce pan, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer; in a small bowl, add a few tablespoons of vinegar along with flour and mix with your finger to eliminate clumps. Pour flour-vinegar mixture into balsamic to thicken (adjust consistency with water). Allow to cool. 3. Arrange tomatoes, mozzarella, and remaining two ounces of basil on plates by stacking ingredients. Serve with basil oil and balsamic syrup.

Grill for 25-30 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp of 130 degrees F.). The outside of the roast will get very dark and develop a charred crust, this is desired and one of the signature characteristics of this BBQ recipe. Remove the tri-tip from the grill to a large platter. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing in 1/4” thick pieces across the grain.

DISPATCHES » A 10-minute milk makeover – Soak a clean washcloth in cold milk and place it over your face for 10 minutes. “Milk contains proteins, fat, amino acids and Vitamin A – all of which reduce redness and calm irritated skin,” says Dr. David Bank, a dermatologist in New York. Also, the lactic acid in milk exfoliates, so your skin should look soft and glowing. -www.msnbc.com » Cutting salt doesn’t help heart? – In a systematic review published by The Cochrane Library, British scientists found that while cutting salt consumption did appear to lead to slight reductions in blood pressure, that was not translated into lower death or heart disease risk. The researchers said they suspected the trials conducted so far were not big enough to show any benefits to heart health, and called for large-scale studies to be carried out soon. -Reuters » Grudges cause back pain? – When researchers at Duke University Medical Center studied 58 women and men with chronic lower-back pain, they found those who practiced forgiveness experienced less anger, resentment, depression—and aches. “Our emotions, muscle tension, and thoughts can directly influence the strength of our pain signals,” says researcher James W.

The Sweden’s Medical Products Agency examined cases of narcolepsy with cataplexy reported in young people (19 years and under) in Sweden, and found out of 81 cases examined, 85 percent had received the Pandemrix vaccine before illness onset. -www.mercola.com » Oregano for arthritis – Oregano helps alleviate osteoarthritis and other inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis. This spice contains natural compounds that have many of the same effects as the powerful anti-inflammatory COX-2 inhibitor drugcelecoxib (Celebrex). It also contains dozens of other anti-inflammatory compounds that act as muscle relaxants and pain relievers. Unlike celecoxib, oregano actually protects the heart by helping to prevent blood clots and irregular heart rhythms. -Bottom Line Health » Americans get fatter – An annual report put out by two public health groups shows that America is getting fatter.

What is it with ‘eating clean’ nowadays?
NUTRITION By Laura Marenco If you have been exercising for a few months and you are not seeing the results you expected your diet may be holding you back (assuming you are a healthy adult). Eating habits might make us or break us when it comes to achieving fitness benchmarks. We all have different goals, but we all strive to improve our eating habits and begin eating clean. What is clean eating? Well, let’s put it this way, if you are eating something that came through the window of your car, something crunchy that comes out of a bag or is meat ready to eat in a sandwich, you aren’t eating clean. Eating clean means focusing your diet on whole foods, fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains and lean meats. You must eat breakfast! Not trying to go old school, but mom was right about this one. The most important meal of the day should consist of a healthy source of protein such as egg whites; complex carbohydrates such as old fashion oatmeal, along with fresh fruit such as strawberries or blueberries. Don’t forget your healthy fats, toss some raw walnuts in your bowl and you have a revved up breakfast! Promise! Remember to eat small meals throughout the day. It is best to eat 200 to 350 calorie meals every three or four hours, depending on your activity level and gender. The main idea here is to avoid sitting down and eating a 600 to 800 calorie meal, which will push you into a siesta in seconds. Balance is key in all aspects of life, and our diets should also follow suit. I am not a perfect eater, but I manage to maintain a healthy lean physique simply through discipline: weight training, cardio on most days but most of all… I eat clean 95 percent of the time. Laura owns a Personal Training studio in Carmel, runs Fit Carmel Moms bootcamp, holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and is a nutritional consultant at Point Blank Nutritition.

Color your emotions COMMENTARY By Vicky Earley Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions. - Pablo Picasso I developed an amicable relationship with my cape-cod house when it was time to tackle the job of painting its exterior. The house had been a non-descript khaki for years. When I had the opportunity, I chose a soft buttery yellow, the color of sunshine and optimism. It is impossible to separate emotion from color. Regardless of the fact it could be association or other deeper stimuli, color does impact our feelings about our surroundings. The following are generalizations, but there are tones within each color group that may deviate from the list. Yellow evokes a feeling of cheer and increases energy. It has been used in kitchens for years, but it successfully worked its way into family rooms and foyers with more muted tones. • Green feels fresh. The association with plants and tree growth gives it a feeling of renewal. • Pink is soft and soothing. The femininity associated with pink promotes affection and congeniality. • Black can project sophistication. It is one of the true neutrals so it is great for use as a
bridge for rooms or other colors. • Red is passionate and demands attention. It is used effectively in dining rooms and bedrooms for drama. • Orange stimulates appetites and conversation so it is well suited for kitchens. It is also a novel color when used in the cleaner tones, so, it is fun for laundry rooms. • White is pure and sophisticated. It is the other true neutral and it’s often used for moldings. • Purple is a color of mystery. Muted tones of plum used in dining rooms and powder rooms give a feel of drama and interest. • Blue is the color of the sky and ocean. It is not a coincidence spas use an abundance of blues and blue green tones to develop a tranquil feel. These tones are ideal for bedrooms if a calm and restorative feeling is wanted.

Neon: Make Summer Hotter
RELAX!
Nothing screams “look at me” like fluorescence, but without proper styling this trend can leave you looking more like a warning cone than an electric beauty. Here’s how to go bold without succumbing to the fates of poor taste. Bold: Choose One Statement Color It’s easy to avoid a mishap by sticking to one shade for your whole ensemble.

Men: A Guide to Summer Trends Women are not the only ones wanting to keep up with the latest trends. A first impression really comes down to the way you look and carry yourself. Whether you are preparing for a big board meeting, getting ready for date night, or just hanging with your guys, stand out with a haircut that suits you.
Piecey: Any of these styles can be done with a more classic touch or all the way for a real trendy look. To keep it classic, your stylist can give you a conservative cut and a slight side part. Focus on a less precise part and use hair wax or pomade to play with the hair to emphasize a messy technique. For an even bolder approach keep hair long and go for the “bedhead” style which will require layering by your stylist. To achieve this look, use wax for thick hair or a gel-mousse for thinner strands. Apply the product using your fingers to separate strands and place in different directions. Do not overuse the product. You can always add a little more if your hair isn’t laying right. Hairspray is a must for keeping your messy look all day long.

Front Wave: To make the front wave look classic, it’s best to imitate a natural windswept look. To achieve this look your stylist will need to give you a medium length cut. Apply mousse when hair is wet, and blow-dry using your fingers to draw hair upward and slightly to the side of the face. Finish it off by combing your hair on towards the back of your head. For the bolder wave, keep hair longer, which will require a bit more product. The product can also add sheen which will make the wave stand out even more. This style is fun for more formal occasions. For the “wet look” use gel rather than mouse and concentrate on the section of the hair closest to the face. Make sure to still pull hair to one side and sweep back with a brush.

When a dispute is initiated with a credit reporting agency, credit-scoring companies like FICO exclude that disputed account when they tabulate your FICO credit score. If the disputed item is, say, a credit card with a zero balance or even a low balance, having a disputed item in your credit report could hurt your credit score by changing your credit utilization rate. -www.walletpop.com
WHAT IS DEBT SETTLEMENT? Debt Settlement is when you pay off debt at a reduced amount, often at 50% or less. WHO IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR DEBT SETTLEMENT? A small business or individual with $30,000 or more of unsecured debt, who has a 401K plan, an inheritance, or a lump sum distribution; as approximately half of debt amount must be set aside in escrow to settle debt when agreement is reached with the creditor. WHY DO I NEED AN ATTORNEY? WHY CAN’T I DO IT MYSELF? Most of the time creditors will not negotiate with individuals, or debt settlement companies. They will ask an attorney for a “power of attorney”. An attorney locks in the terms, so that the creditor cannot change them and try to collect more interest or fees later. An attorney can also protect you in the event of a lawsuit occurring while negotiations are ongoing.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SETTLE ALL THE DEBT? Most of the time a creditor will not begin negotiating until debt is 6 months past due. Therefore debt settlement is usually completed as soon as terms are reasonable. AM I TAXED ON THE MONEY SAVED? There could be tax due on money saved. Your accountant can see if you are exempt from taxes under IRS Insolvency Rules, Publication 4681. HOW CAN I LEARN MORE? To learn more, call Mike at 317-266-8888, email: mike@mikenorrislaw.com or visit: mikenorrislaw.com.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS? There is a risk of a lawsuit occurring before the debt is settled, which is usually avoided by using a LOCAL attorney. Also one’s credit score could decline while negotiations are taking place.

Adequate coverage critical in an auto accident Commentary By Brian Harter Question from Tyler H. from Noblesville: I’ve never been in an auto accident (knock on wood), but I saw one yesterday on my way to work and it got me thinking: What do I need to do if I’m in one? Response from Brian Harter: Being in an automobile accident, no matter how minor, is a scary thing to experience. Your independent insurance agent should be able to provide you with a card to keep in your glove box of everything you need to do if an accident occurs. Here is what we recommend: 1. Take a deep breath and assess the situation. Get your vehicle and passengers away from further harm if the vehicle is still operable. 2. Make sure that no one in your vehicle requires immediate medical attention. Check the occupants of any other vehicle involved next. 3. Call the police. It doesn’t matter how minor the accident is. Having a police report filed will make your claim process much smoother. 4. Exchange insurance information and record the details. Make sure the other driver’s insurance is not out of date. Get their phone number, address, license plate number and the make and model of their car to make filing your claim easier. 5. Pull out your camera phone and snap
20 | July 19, 2011
some pictures of your car from every angle and of any damage it now has. 6. Obtain a copy of the police report and call your independent agent to file a claim. Coverage Recommendations Driving without insurance coverage in Indiana is illegal, and a great way to end up with a suspended license or serious financial problems. The starting point for insurance in Indiana is the required state minimum coverage: $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 per accident, and $10,000 for property damage. However, those amounts won’t get you very far when it comes time to settle a claim. They also provide you zero protection from motorists that drive around without insurance or with inadequate insurance. I recommend limits of $250,000 per injured person, $500,000 per accident and $100,000 for property damage, with an endorsement to protect you from uninsured and underinsured motorists. These raised limits will also allow you to add a personal umbrella policy to further protect you in extreme cases. You can also get a nice discount by packaging these policies together with your homeowner’s policy. Adding comprehensive and collision coverage, and adjusting the cost of your deductibles, is something you should talk with your independent agent about. Brian Harter is with Shepherd Insurance & Financial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to asktheadvisor@shepherdins.com.

Stepping smartly into a project COMMENTARY By David Decker Who, what, when, where, why and … how much? At the starting line of a custom home improvement project, it’s sometimes hard to know which question to ask first. Let’s jumble the order of these simple questions and look at the first steps to making big improvements to your home. Why? Is the main idea to enhance your home’s functionality, aesthetic appeal, financial value or other reason? Functionality is how you live in the home. Aesthetic appeal is about looks and style. Financial value is about real estate and resale value. Prioritizing and balancing all these factors define the project; it’s important to know the real reason behind the enhancement. Where? Kitchens and master bathrooms are the most popular projects. A smart step here is to bring in a home improvement professional to assess your situation, desires and priorities. What? Options are limitless in terms of what can be done to any home, but we all have limits and parameters in terms of budget, desires, taste, needs and goals. Ask this question in terms of: What is out there, and what do I want? A home improvement professional, again, is an enormous help in guiding this process. When? When do you want to start? When do you want to be finished? Are you going to be in
the home during the project? All are important considerations. Who? In your gut, who do you trust to communicate with you frequently and honestly? Who will respect your privacy when working in your home? Who will do the job right, on time and on budget. Check references and go with a professional who has earned your trust to be as value conscious and as focused on your project as you are. How much? An experienced, in-it-for-thelong-haul professional is going to do the best job of understanding expectations and telling you costs going in, and then hitting those expectations and costs coming out. By taking smart, deliberate steps and asking the right questions, you dramatically improve the chances of your final answer being, “Wow! What a great project!” David Decker is president of Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms, based in Carmel (877-252-1420, www.affordablekandb.com). Have a home improvement question? E-mail David at david.decker@ affordablekandb.com, and he will answer in an upcoming column.

Classic comfort outside LANDSCAPING By Randy Sorrell SPF, “Sexy Pergola Fun”, rules on July / August evenings when the summer breeze offers just enough encouragement to stay outside and a little protection from the sun is hoped for. An occasional cloud certainly helps, but nothing trumps the dappled sun and outdoor room sensation better than a well planned pergola with modern trim details. Classic comfort is the feel and authentic luxury is the look. Creating shade is a primary objective now. Pergolas are always a great solution, but there are others. Many are employing oversized 11foot cantilevered umbrellas or multiple smaller ones, which offer complete shade when the sun is directly overhead. They have a nice price point and prompt color and drama. There is the pesky 5 – 7 p.m. issue. It seems regardless of the roof structure, the persistent sun finds a path to sneak through and sizzle whatever entertaining is planned. Often, a few smart strategies can quickly resolve that. Exterior grade blinds can be housed in the pergola beams (or porch) and lowered when needed. Custom lattice panels built to modern speci-

fications can offer relief, particularly when planted with your favorite clematis vine trailing through it. Snazzy outdoor drapes with formal hardware is a confident solution and looks fantastic, says Fabiola at Drapery Street in the Indiana Design Center on Rangeline Road. Long term shade strategies often include shade trees. Unfortunately, a few years growth may be required before the appropriate canopy develops. Marry the trees with a handful of larger ornamental grasses around the patio to squeeze down the vulnerable 5 – 7 p.m. sun exposure. My favorite evenings? Outside! I’m always on the patio and often under the gigantic umbrella for complete protection or gathered under the pergola for a more open feel. The grill is working overtime and wine glasses are full as neighbor kids take short-cuts through the back yard and my girls are laughing about something (I’m the easy target).

DISPATCHES » Google launches Google+ – Google recently unveiled Google+. More people visit Google’s network of websites than Facebook each month, but Facebook is killing the search company in categories that advertisers care most about: Time spent and pages viewed. On Facebook, people are either “friends” or not. Google+ makes that distinction more fluid, letting users group their contacts into smaller categories, such as relatives, co-workers, or members of a yoga class. Information can be shared selectively with each group. Several components attempt to mimic natural human interaction. For instance, one feature allows users to declare that they’re “hanging out” and interested in video chatting if a select group of people are around. -www.cnn.com » The Pope now tweets – Pope Benedict XVI tweeted for the first time recently through the Vatican’s official Twitter handle, @news_va_en.

Capturing Internet videos TECHNOLOGY By Gary Hubbard Capturing streaming video from popular sites like YouTube and major news websites has become somewhat of a cat and mouse game as many sites incorporate ‘anti-leeching’ technology. Unless you’re moderately comfortable with technology, you may not want to venture into these tools. They can be confusing if you don’t know how to determine the actual ‘url’ of the video itself on some pages. For basic captures, try an online resource that doesn’t require installation such as KeepVid (http://keepvid.com ). If this site can capture the video, it will offer various resolutions and file formats based on what the original video had to offer. If you’re only interested in capturing are YouTube or Vimeo videos, then the KeepVid website should be all you need. There are many free programs that can capture just about any type of streaming video, but be careful during the installation, useless software could show up with the ‘free’ program. One in particular with a good reputation as an all-around download manager (Orbit Downloader – http://goo.gl/7MRTz ) is loaded with ‘partner’ software and toolbars that are unnecessary (none of it is spyware). If this is an option, pay very close attention to each screen during the installation to avoid installing the unnecessary programs or having
your homepage changed. Avoid the confusion and extra baggage, the folks at Kastorsoft have an assortment of tools for capturing and converting streaming content ( http://goo.gl/ZX2oK ). For general video capture, I like the All Video Downloader program, but some sites block this program. If it is blocked try their Free Video Catcher app to capture the video as it’s played. Another option is installing an add-on to Firefox called Video DownloadHelper .( http:// goo.gl/plLgW ) If you aren’t familiar with how these types of tools work, be sure to read through the FAQs at http://goo.gl/u3851. For Windows users, Snagit 9 (http://goo.gl/ ASvmj ) may be worth a look as it can also be used to capture just about anything that’s on the computer screen (really handy for anyone that needs to create tutorial videos). Mac users might want to look at SnapzProX (http://goo.gl/39Xzu ) which offers a similar set of tools for the Mac world (free trial, $69 to buy). As with Snagit 9, the portion of the screen intended for capture can be saved as a video. It can create useful tutorial videos for just about any program or web project.

DISPATCHES » A dog’s warm nose – The origin: There is no identifiable origin for this myth. People just seem to think a dog with a warm and/or dry nose is sick, and a dog with a cold wet nose is well. The truth: If a dog has a dry or warm nose, it means he has a dry or warm nose. A dry nose or a mildly warm nose has nothing to do with the overall health of a dog. -www.petwave.com » Home flea remedies – If you don’t want to use a flea collar with insecticides, active ingredients such as eucalyptus, cedar, lemongrass, rosemary and marigold won’t exterminate, but will deter fleas. Also, feed your pet a combination of brewer’s yeast and garlic once a day during flea season. The mixture will make your pet taste bad to fleas when they bite, while also conditioning your pet’s skin. -www.almanac.com
Human foods to avoid feeding to your pets PETS By Dr. Greg Maggnusson Chocolate, Coffee, Caffeine These products all contain substances called methylxanthines. When ingested by pets, methylxanthines can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal heart rhythm and even death. Darker chocolate is more dangerous than milk chocolate Alcohol Alcoholic beverages and food products containing alcohol can cause vomiting, depression, difficulty breathing, coma and even death. Avocado Though there is some controversy all avocados are toxic, it is certain leaves, seeds, and bark of the avocado tree contain Persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Depending on the amount
ingested, it may be fatal. Grapes and Raisins Although the toxic substance within grapes and raisins is unknown, these fruits can cause kidney failure. Yeast Dough Yeast dough can cause gas to accumulate in your pet’s digestive system. This can be painful and can cause the stomach or intestine to rupture. Raw/Uncooked Meat, Eggs, and Bones Raw meat and raw eggs can contain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli can be harmful to pets. Raw eggs contain an enzyme called avidin that decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin), which can lead to skin and coat problems. Onions, Garlic, and Chives Can cause gastrointestinal irritation and could lead to red blood cell damage.
Although cats are more susceptible, dogs are also at risk if a large enough amount is consumed. Milk Most pets are lactose intolerant because pets do not possess significant amounts of lactase (the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk). Milk and other milk-based products cause diarrhea and digestive problems. Salt Large amounts of salt can produce excessive thirst and urination, depression and death.

Fulfilling futures in a fortune cookie RELATIONSHIPS By Rachel Noble Don’t you love when you break open a fortune cookie and it says positive things about your future? What if you were to open a fortune cookie every single day that predicted a life full of happiness and love in your future? Do you think you would start to believe it? What if you could create your own positive future right now just by thinking positive thoughts every day? Are you single? Have you dated the same type of unhealthy person over and over? Do you think this is just your luck, “bad” fortune cookie predictions? I’ve learned from my past experiences, when I thought negative thoughts and held on to past hurts, I experienced more hurt and got into bad relationships. However, when I let go of wrong-doings, forgive and move on I find a sense of happiness again. Consider your own friends. You may know a guy who regularly talks badly about women. It’s like he dated a woman who used him, then moved on. But, he had two choices. He could mourn about his loss for a couple of days, and then make the conscious decision to move on in
a positive direction. Or he could choose to hold on to his hurts and become bitter over time. So how do we let go of the past and create a new and positive future? It’s a conscious decision. Every time you’re tempted to tell yet another gal about your past toxic relationships, stop yourself and remember it’s time to let go. It’s not wrong to talk about hurts; however, after several months it’s usually time to move on. Plus, don’t forget your daily affirmations. Literally speak words of goodness about your future and about your love life. I truly believe what we think, what we say and the people we chose to be with will eventually shape our futures. So use this content for your very own fortune cookie and make your cookie predictions bring you good fortune. May you find forgiveness and peace, happiness through positive friendships and of course, may you find love.
I truly believe what we think, what we say and the people we chose to be with will eventually shape our futures.

Christ is the truth SPIRITUALITY By Bob Walters A talented writer friend who occasionally reads this article said to me recently, “You must get tons of scathing criticism. That topic (religion) is so totally an opinion.” It immediately struck me and I said out loud, reflexively but gently, “Yeah, you’d think that might be the case, but I get very little negative criticism. What’s even crazier is I’ve never thought of it as an opinion column. I think of it, and write it, as a truth column.” The truth of Jesus Christ is the core of the Christian faith. When I allow the Father, Son, Spirit God lead its proper place in my life – Christ’s truth answers my questions large and small about life, the future, relationships and conflict. I think most believing, serious, praying Christians would relate to the shortcomings and fears we all experience dwelling in a fallen world. Religious opinions and doctrines over the years have split Christian believers time after time. Despite, the truth Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God, who we must trust as our
Lord and Savior. That brief creed is fairly universal, but for Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, Baptist, Evangelical and other strains of Christianity, the person of Jesus Christ may be the only thing they agree on. We fight viciously over our religious opinions which, I know from experience, too often supersede our trust in the thing we know is truth, Jesus Christ. Christ’s truth is the lone and absolute antidote to these human shortcomings and fears. In this sin-riven fallen world, Christ provides grace, hope and the ultimate repair. That’s the truth, the capital-T, Truth, and immune to man’s opinion. My question is, why does man try to make himself immune to God’s truth? IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), Christ is no opinion. And that’s the truth.
Christ’s truth is the lone and absolute antidote to these human shortcomings and fears.
Bob Walters (www.believerbob. blogspot.com, email rlwcom@ aol.com) suffers from extreme opinionation (a word he just made up and loves), but revels in God’s truth.

Building a softer, gentler remote control HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie I already know what I want for Christmas. I saw it in the Brookstone catalog. The manufacturers maintain this is NOT some lame novelty product, but a boon to mankind. I’m not so sure about womankind. It was this provocative headline that caught my eye: “At long last, a remote control pillow.” Someone finally had the brains to sew a TV remote inside a throw pillow. Brilliant! The people who wasted valuable time thinking up Windows 7 must be kicking themselves. Really, what man hasn’t spent 15 minutes looking for his clicker, then wondered why he couldn’t switch channels with something he never misplaces—like his can of beer. Never again will you have to ask: “Where’s the remote?” Instead you’ll be asking why there is mustard on the volume button. One fan commented, “It looks like the regular pillow I cuddle with.” Okay, that is a little creepy, but I was still intrigued. There are some safety warnings: Like a minor possibility of being electrocuted if you drool on the thing. The device shuts off after two hours of inactivity—not gonna happen, because most men are persistent channel surfers. However, falling asleep on the pillow is a pressing problem. A few customers complained one minute they were watching a documentary about FDR
on the History Channel and minutes later woke up to Snooki on Jersey Shore. The people at Brookstone also claim the item is a great conversation starter. “Hey, Joe, is that pillow also a remote?” “Yes, Tom, it is.” “Please pass the cheese puffs.” As I mentioned, the big benefit is you will never again lose the remote. Of course, I came out of Kohl’s the other day and spent 20 minutes looking for my car, and I played golf Thursday and lost six clubs, so I’m not optimistic this is a surefire solution for me. The product website boasts the pillow can control 500 devices. I went around the house and I could only find six or eight devices in all our rooms. Maybe if I counted the bread box and our antique magazine rack, I could get that up to 10. My wife wondered if she could start the dishwasher with the pillow, but I had to put my foot down. This kind of laziness is ruining our country, although it would be awesome to get Orville Redenbacher popping in the microwave right before the movie starts.
