OUR VIEWS

It is our position that we must give construction workers a brake and allow them to finish their jobs quickly and without incident. With numerous projects, big and small, taking place in Hamilton County concurrently, we need to be attentive to these zones and be sure to follow the appropriate signals. Yet likewise, staff must understand their own role and remain focused on keeping traffic safely moving. We have high expectations for our roads in Hamilton County and expect the workers to do what it takes to complete a professional grade job without leaning on their shovels or talking on their cell phones while directing traffic. Although aside from the dangerous situation in having to deal with traffic, these good folks have been working in the hottest summer Indiana has seen in a very long time and certainly deserve to take a break every once in a while. Can construction managers work to ensure the workers on the job site are properly dressed and focused on the task at hand? We all seek quick work without being unreasonable – but we also expect crews to behave in a manner that complies with our cities and shows respect for motorists and pedestrians.

Sex ed

It is our position that the single gender classes at IPS Arlington Community High School are an innovative way to help solve social and academic problems at that school. Arlington has been in chaos the last several years, so drastic measures were called for. Separating boys from girls is one way to help students focus on their studies. It remains to be seen if this new approach will actually be conducive to learning, because girls and boys can be equally disruptive. Teachers and administrators need to participate in ongoing training to ensure this is a workable solution. Over the summer, news of a possible takeover by the Indiana Department of Education dominated the media, and Arlington is one of the schools on the list. While Arlington and schools in Hamilton County are vastly different, we believe our school boards should keep an eye on how going to single sex classes affects grades. It is important to be innovative with education and this is the latest attempt to create a positive learning environment where teachers and students can focus on academics rather than discipline. Let’s hope Arlington doesn’t abandon this effort before it has had time to show success.

Goodbye interns … now, who wants their seats?

FROM THE BACKSHOP Our readers prove to be perfect barometer Last week, we chronicled the real story of the resignation of Steven B. Libman, former president and CEO of The Center for the Performing Arts. As of press time for this edition, we had received dozens of e-mails, voice mails, texts and tweets in support of our story and our decision – with a lone exception - to “sit” on it until we could publish it with the vetting it - and all the pieces we run - deserves. We’ve heard from private citizens and public officials. It has been a wonderfully heartening response from the Hamilton County community, and it validates why we published the story and why we publish this newspaper. If there is a way for us to serve (and protect) our fellow taxpayers, please believe us when we tell you we will do everything we can to achieve on that objective. Not everyone has or will agree with the story we published, to be sure, but we trust the facts we obtained were, indeed, facts and therefore they were included in the best interests of our readers. ••• Belden Inc., a signal transmissions product manufacturer with a Carmel office, is adding jobs to our local economy, with 40 more positions to be filled by 2014. We like that. It’s a commitment to more than double the local staff, and it also helps to keep our

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg residential taxes low.

••• We wish Amy Massillamany the best of luck in her new role as a Hamilton County Council member. She was elected in a Republican Party caucus earlier this month. At 29, she will represent something of a “youth” vote on the council, and we commend the caucus for not taking the easy, good-old-boy way of plugging the District 2 gap created by Judy Levine’s resignation and subsequent move to California. ••• With the coming of Labor Day Weekend, we wish to remind you that Current in Carmel will be available in homes Sept. 3 instead of Sept. 6.

Commentary By Kevin Kane This week marked the end of many of our interns’ summer tenure at Current. It was a bittersweet event. Our most recent class was a big one made up of students with different interests and varying levels of experience. But they all had skills that were used to better our publications. Their respective personalities and contributions will certainly be missed. On a more positive note you, dear high school to college-age reader looking for an interesting challenge for the fall semester: We’re looking for a new crop of interns to throw into our rock tumbler and polish up into the journalists of the future. I promise, it’s not as painful as it sounds. Every semester Current Publishing hires one or two editorial interns per publication to help in research, reporting and writing of community news stories, which are eventually distributed to more than 92,000 homes across Hamilton County. Applicants for these positions need not have editorial experience (although it certainly doesn’t hurt). More important is a solid grasp of English and a willingness to learn. As well, we frequently have opportunities for interns interested specifically in photography, newspaper/ad design and Web publishing. These internships are offered on a semester-by-

semester basis, and interested applicants should contact the appropriate editor directly for information about their availability. So, if you’re 16 or older, and have your own means of transportation and an interest in writing for Current, drop your local editor a line. And, as always, thanks for reading.

Reaction to Libman report

Your recent article featuring Steven Libman disappointed me as a Current in Carmel reader. As a newspaper, reporting the facts based on actual evidence is important to me as a reader. Taking rumors and making them look factual, when in actuality they are not, is a disgrace to the newspaper. When I read information about a man who truly may have made some mistakes in his life but is being accused of something that has not even been proven true is sickening and downright desperation on the part of the Current. It seems Current was upset about Libman not giving them the news stories that they “deserved” and decided to start looking into his personal life. In your article, you never once stated a hard fact of actual money being misappropriated, funds being used and from what source, or actual dollar amounts. The trips that were stated were actual trips to help the Palladium thrive. What on earth were you thinking? There are several reasons that

people decide to strip power away from others. It seems that the Current decided they had a right to strip Libman of his life. That is a decision based on frustration and despair by the Current. You seemed to think that the only way to gain back the control you had over the Palladium news stories was to strip a man of his sin and post it in your paper before even a proper audit could be done. The Current used power techniques to get what it wanted. The focus became on what you could do to better your position and your power not necessarily on what was the right thing to do. Life is unfair. People will hurt us and let us down, and we won’t always understand why. You allowed this personal disappointment to enable you to seek revenge. Your revenge will continue to hurt others and it is no way to run a newspaper. Anne Slamkowski 46032

If there is one thing I’ve learned in my four decades of involvement in Carmel city government and politics, it’s that public officials must perform to a higher standard in their professional and private lives. Whether elected, appointed, employed, or being a grantee of public funds, those to whom we have assigned our money and trust are not ordinary citizens. In addition, those who hold a position of power and have individuals subservient to them are equally answerable to a higher standard too. That is why I believe Current in Carmel got it right in the special report, Pulling Back the Curtain. The founders of our country assured us that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press. Thanks to Current standing guard, those who receive our tax dollars and wield power were scrutinized. Taking the politics out of the story, I appreciate them investigating and by doing so, protecting my money and investment in my city. The world is a 24-hour news machine. Stories

break all the time without being thoroughly investigated for the purpose of getting a scoop. Blogs and non-traditional news outlets are publishing stories and readers haven’t a clue whether or not they are accurate. The Indianapolis media outlets reported on Steven Libman’s resignation without having a feel either for our community or the truth. They tend to react rather than act. One channel repeatedly used the former CEO of the foundation’s name incorrectly. The Current, though, did its due diligence. When they found themselves with a legal obligation to turn over information to appropriate city officials, they acted responsibly. Our city has gone through times when there was a lot of news but little coverage. The professional reporters who once covered city government left long ago. Now, Current in Carmel is taking up that void and I am glad. They did a fine job of investigative journalism and got it right - not wrong. Alan J. Potasnik 46033

I wanted to thank the staff at Current in Carmel for the way it handled the story behind the resignation of Steven Libman. As we all know, any journalist would love to scoop a story like this. Many would report it as soon as they could, regardless of the ramifications to the parties involved. Current did the right thing. It looked at the potential fallout, not only for the parties involved, but also for the taxpayers of Carmel. On top of the potential lawsuits that could have flown around, think of the damage that would have been done to the reputation of the Palladium. The city of Carmel

and its tax-paying residents are 100 percent on the hook for the success or failure of The Center for the Performing Arts. The last thing the taxpayers need is to have the Palladium wrapped up in a scandal that could possibly result in huge legal fees and lost revenue. Current does many, many things to support our great city, and this can certainly be added to that list. The same cannot be said of most of the Indianapolis-based media outlets, which seem to thrive on seeing Carmel painted in a bad light. Jason Randlett 46032

I wanted tell you how impressed I am with how you handled the Libman story. I know that after you had two sources confirm the affair you could have run the story, but I agree with you: That would have been about a scoop, not about doing what is best for the taxpayer. My compliments to Current. Toby Stark 46032

What an excellent piece of journalism with the Libman article, and what a relief to finally have everything out in the open. I respect you for waiting until the right time to run the story and you were rewarded by being able to be first and do it right. Kudos, and thank you! Jennifer Hershberger 46033

Thank you for the story titled Pulling Back the Curtain. You did a fantastic job at investigating and reporting. The city of Carmel - Mayor Brainard and the City Council members - should publicly thank you. Cheryl Elko 46032

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em all

COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson Do you ever have days where miscommunication screws you? Where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have been better off speaking French? I had one last weekend that had me shaking ma tĂŞte in exasperation. We were up north for my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family reunion. Thirty-one people crammed into a 1920s lake cottage with no air conditioning. Despite the heat and humanity, I was surviving. However, shortly after lunch, I had my first â&#x20AC;&#x153;mishap.â&#x20AC;? Doo came outside determined to take the boat for an adult-only cruise around the lake, and I shot him down because his brothers had promised the kids they would make a tubing run. Obviously, individual plans had not been communicated properly. So we hashed it out right in front of his dad. Doo plead it was naptime and several couples had only these few minutes to enjoy. I stood my ground on integrity and won the fight, but felt unbelievably guilty when I told my in-laws they would not be boating sans enfants at the moment. Strike one. A few hours later, the next snafu occurred. One of my brothers-in-law was turning 40, and I was charged with making my famous chocolate cake for the dinner celebration. My oldest daughter came in late on the baking, so I promised her she could help with the icing. However, the boat battle left me memory lapsed and I forgot to get her. Worse yet, I let her ever-present younger

sister participate. When shafted daughter found out, she quite literally went ballistic. She was so upset I had to pawn her off on Doo, who promptly incarcerated her in one of the 100 degree bedrooms until she calmed down. Her confinement wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been so bad, except she missed the hacking of the lion piĂąata with her 16 cousins. Obviously, this piece of news did not sit well with her either. Strike two for moi. The final controversial incident happened shortly after dinner. We ate later than anticipated; so, several of the moms decided to put their kids straight to bed and bypassed dessert. Birthday deliciousness would apparently be savored the next day. I missed the memo and told my four children they could stay up. You can imagine what happened when my gateau-deprived nieces and nephews heard their cousins were scoring sugar while they were sequestered in sweatboxes. It was not pretty and neither were the looks I rightly received from several sisters-in-law. Merde. But by this point I was so emotionally drained I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a flying frick. I apologized for the umpteenth time that day and called it quits. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em all. Paix out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist.

The real ‘apple store’ COMMENTARY By Jeff Worrell When I was first encouraged to visit the apple store, I thought it an odd request. I tend to lean towards IBM, however I am warming up to Mac. But, I quickly realized Ellen Smith was excited about the other apple store. The real apple store, selling the finest, locally grown, hand dipped caramel apples, cider slushies, apple butter and other gourmet items as part of the Conner Prairie experience. Since 1985, the ladies of Conner Prairie Alliance hand dip apples and sell them as their primary fundraiser for Hamilton County’s famous interactive historical venue. Ellen Smith, Vice President of Communications for the Alliance,tells me 90 ladies are members of the volunteer group. They include career/working women and stay-at-home mothers who last year racked up some pretty impressive stats. • 65 ladies donned aprons, hair nets and gloves to carefully dip 19,374 apples. • 6,929 apple cider slushies slurped • 7,437 apple spice and pumpkin donuts consumed • In just 9 weeks, $90,000 raised. • $80,000 dedicated towards starting the new 1863 Civil War Journey. • $10,000 helps kee the 1859 Balloon Voyage afloat. • 19% increase 2010 over 2009 funds • Five year total: $385,000

The Conner Prairie Alliance is made up entirely of volunteers. Ladies whom remember Conner from childhood days or women whom enjoy history and want to make sure a place for children to learn is preserved for future generations. Alliance member Mandy Hunter, “I love to see the children enjoy their treats from the apple store. Whether it is a caramel apple or one of our specialty items, the pure happiness on their faces makes our hard work pay off.” “I have been a fan of Conner Prairie since I was a child. It is very exciting to be a part of a group that supports the wonderful experiences Conner Prairie provides for my children today,” said Staci Pratt, Alliance member since 2007. The apple store at Conner Prairie opens September 1, 2011 and will offer opening day discounts and specials. Normal hours are Tuesday through Sunday 11 am to 5 pm. Evening hours are available during Symphony on the Prairie and Headless Horseman. The last apple will be sold on October 30th. The Alliance is holding a new member event at 9:00 am on September 13, 2011. For more information contact 317776-6011 or connerprairiealliance@gmail.com. An apple a day for you?

Humane Society will combine two events on Sept. 11 editorial@youarecurrent.com The Humane Society for Hamilton County is combining two of its most popular annual events into one big community celebration. On Sept. 11, HSHC will hold two of its annual fundraisers - Dog Day Afternoon and Woofstock – on the same day in an effort to create one pet-friendly festival it says the public will not want to miss. Dog Day Afternoon featuring Woofstock Festval will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the gazebo at Carmel Civic Square. More than 75 exhibitors and food vendors will be at the event and the Woofstock stage at the gazebo will feature a full day of live music and canine contests. The event also will include a moment during which attendees will be asked to “paws and remember” those who lost their lives during the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 and the men in women in uniform who work to keep us safe. A police K9 that helped search the rubble at Ground Zero also will be in attendance.

While HSHC invites owners to bring their dogs to this fundraiser, all dogs must remain on a leash at all times and be current on vaccinations. Admission is a $5 donation per adult while children will be admitted for free. For more information, visit www.carmeldogday.com.

The goal is to create a compelling vision of what CCPL will be – and why – in the next decade, based upon an understanding of future scenarios, and the issues and trends that will impact and shape not only our immediate community, but the larger world around us. An online survey can be accessed at www.carmel.lib.in.us/survey. Carmel and Clay Township residents are encouraged to complete the survey, whether they use the library or not. Because community input is extremely important to the planning process, the library also will conduct focus groups and strategy workshops at the end of August, and in September, two community forums will be held for public input. A final community forum will be held in November to discuss the new strategic direction. To facilitate the process, the library’s Board of Trustees hired Sam McBane Mulford, principal strategist and founder of ideation-collaborative.

She has more than 21 years of experience in strategic master planning, programming and design of both large and small-scale public and private projects. She will facilitate all meetings, workshops, focus groups and forums, and will guide the development of strategies and goals. “We are pleased to be working with Sam, and look forward to hearing from as many people in the community as possible during this process,” said Wendy Phillips, CCPL director. The plan is expected to be complete by the end of the year, with implementation beginning early in 2012. A core team of library staff, board members, and community stakeholders is working with Mulford to set the course of the planning process and ensure its success. “My philosophy toward 21st century libraries is that they are places of discovery, a community’s family room, portals beyond, and even havens,” states Mulford. “Libraries provide transformational experiences at critical junctures in lives, or just have the book a reader has been dying to get her hands on.” Questions and comments regarding the process are welcome and can be sent to Communications Manage Beth Smietana at bsmietana@ carmel.lib.in.us. For updates as the process moves forward, visit www.carmel.lib.in.us.

Back to school-time to Revise PaRenting schedules? Back to school time is often a frenzy of checklists and deadlines as families adjust to the end of summer and try to resume a “normal” schedule. It is also a time when divorced or unmarried parents face challenges because of changes in children’s activities or even parents’ own work schedules. As children get older and become active in sports or extracurricular activities, coordinating parenting time around practice and pick-up times can become frustrating. More conflict can arise especially if the extracurricular activity interferes with parenting time schedules. It can be a difficult choice to balance a child’s need for social interaction with quality time with both parents, particularly in situations where one parent is the primary physical custodian. Another dispute that commonly arises occurs when a child is transitioning from an elementary school to middle or high school, and transporta-

tion needs change. In situations where both parents work outside the home, parents may be struggling to come up with a solution. This has been a particular issue for many parents this year in certain districts that have changed busing policies. Changes in parents’ work schedules may also necessitate an adjustment to parenting time. This occurs most frequently with parents who work in careers with non-traditional work schedules, such as healthcare and emergency services. Standard parenting time under the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines may not be feasible for parents who work varying shifts or different days each week.

Thursday, Sept. 1st

When changes occur, co-parents with an amicable relationship may be able to communicate and work out an agreement, but that isn’t always possible. If a dispute has arisen regarding parenting time, consulting with an attorney can help you understand all of your options. At Harden Jackson, our family law attorneys help clients find solutions to life’s transitions.

Twin Carmel brothers display courage, selfless zeal in helping victims at State Fair tragedy By Kevin Kane kevin@youarecurrent.com When frantic rescue efforts at the State Fair were coming to an end the night of Aug. 13, Sam DiCarlo found an ironic memento from a life-changing event. He found a guitar pick near the stage, one side reading “Sugarland,” and the other “I was there.” The 17-year-old Carmel High School student kept the pick to remember the night when he and his twin brother, A.J., changed from typical teenagers to local heroes. The brothers were among the people who jeopardized their own safety to assist others when concert rigging collapsed at the State Fairgrounds, ultimately resulting in six deaths and dozens of injuries. The DiCarlos personally helped at least five seriously injured people and remained at the scene for hours after the collapse. However, the two said their desire to help was purely instinctive. Not only do they refuse to be deemed heroes, but they are “embarrassed” by the recognition they have received since that night. “We hate the attention,” A.J. said. “There were other people The brothers were recognized for their efforts in a special ceremony last Thursday at Carmel High School. out there who should be recognized, too.

CCS launches first ‘Expedition’ By Kevin Kane kevin@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Schools has launched a new program designed to improve the district’s communication with community leaders. The new program, dubbed the CCS Expedition, invites about 20 community leaders to monthly two-hour meetings. The topic of each month’s meeting will be different from the rest and some sessions will provide hands-on learning experiences, such as riding a CCS bus or eating a typical school lunch in one of its cafeterias. CCS hopes this program will improve its transparency and communication with the community while also providing in-depth information regarding the state of the district. The Expedition, which will be held annually with new groups, includes members of CCS’ administration, including Superintendent Jeff Swensson, but each session will be led and moderated by individuals who are not CCS employees. “(Parents often have) the fear that, ‘I have to be careful with what I say (to school employees), or they’ll take it out on my kids,” said Joe Loomis, who led the first meeting last Tuesday. “That perception is out there and it’s prevalent. We’re riskfree people who can answer your questions.” Current in Carmel is participating in the Expedition and will provide updates after future meetings.

Watering deeply forces the grass to set down deeper roots, making the roots of the grass deeper than those of the weeds. When the soil dries out, the weeds will die from lack of moisture, while the grass stays lush and green. Another benefit of watering deeply is that your lawn will require less frequent watering. -www.doityourself.com

Over-easy like Sunday morning COOKING By Clint Smith There’s a Depeche Mode song that asks, “Is simplicity best, or simply the easiest?” I say, “sometimes both.” Case in point: this recipe. As a high school teacher—and with the tidal wave of the new school year swelling on the horizon—relaxing with my family on the weekends is a premium. So when it comes to breakfast and brunch, it doesn’t hurt to keep things simple and easy. Poaching is a gentle process that yields delicate dishes. Being proficient with this technique requires a few simple components: water, heat, vinegar, finesse. Oh, and bellies to feed. Poached eggs have a delicate exterior and a silky, over-easy interior—an ideal counterpoint to the

savory crunch of the crostini. Similar to pesto, this pistou dressing enhances the dish with a salty, parmesan-garlic pungency. If you’re squeamish about undercooked eggs, I hear you—it’s a reasonable concern. Cook your eggs to a temperature that will make your audience the happiest. If you have a little more peace of mind, there’ll be fewer pieces of leftover food on your plate. It’s not just for Sunday brunch, so enjoy this recipe with friends, family, or (giving another nod to DM) simply “enjoy the silence.” 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. To read more about techniques and recipes, visit www.cookingwithclint.com.

Poached eggs on crostini with pistou Ingredients • 2 large eggs • As needed, water • As needed, white vinegar • 2 slices French bread, oiled, toasted • 2 handfuls fresh arugula of baby greens • 1 ounce fresh basil • 3 cloves garlic • ½ cup grated parmesan • To taste, kosher salt and cracked black pepper • As needed, olive oil Directions 1. In a blender or food processor, combine fresh basil, garlic, and parmesan. Pulse until mixture is broken up. With motor running, drizzle in olive oil until mixture resembles a thin vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve in refrigerator. 2. Fill up a medium-sized saucepan with water; add vinegar and apply heat until you can maintain a temperature of 180° F. Gently crack eggs into a small dish, taking care not to break yolks. Delicately pour one egg at a time in poaching liquid, using

a spoon to fold albumen over egg to keep oblong shape. After 4-5 minutes (or after reaching desired doneness), remove egg and reserve on a lightly oiled plate. Repeat process for second egg. 3. In a bowl, lightly dress salad greens with olive oil and salt and pepper. Place salad on plate, add crostini, and place egg on crostini. Finish with pistou and serve.

» Fraud in cancer research – In a scandal that has reverberated around the world of cancer research, the Office of Research Integrity at the U.S. Department of Health found that a Boston University cancer scientist fabricated his findings. His work was published in two journals in 2009, and he’s been ordered to retract them. But important studies by other scientists like those at the Mayo Clinic, who based their work on his findings, could now make 10 years of their studies worthless, according to commentary in Gaia Health. -www.mercola.com » Quick mood boost – For a mood-lifting snack, stash walnuts in your desk drawer.

Am I too old for plastic surgery? COMMENTARY By Barry Eppley As plastic surgery continues to enjoy widespread acceptance and an increasing array of treatment options, it is no surprise people of all ages are undergoing cosmetic changes. This is highlighted in a story I read recently about a 83-year-old woman who had combined a breast lift and breast implant operation. Although the story made news, it is nothing out of the ordinary. More people who are at an age many would consider ‘too old’ for plastic surgery are having something done. The perception of being too old may be perceived as a function of safety for surgery and anesthesia. But it may also conveyone gets to an age where they don’t care about their appearance or that they shouldn’t. This may be a presumption coming from the view of those much younger, but that could offend many older patients. While medical problems and poor health may make plastic surgery a remote or non-consideration for many people age 65 and older, those in good health with active lifestyles may exercise their option to do so. There are certainly more septuagenarians and octogenarians having plastic surgery today than ever before. While these ages make up less than 10 percent of the total U.S. population, it is no longer rare to see such patients in consultation for facelifts, necklifts, eyelid tucks and even li-

posuction. A frequent question I see on a popular plastic surgery website asks panel of plastic surgeons, “Am I too old for plastic surgery?” According to 2010 statistics from the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, over 80,000 people age 65 and older had some type of plastic surgery. The highest number of procedures is facelifts, forehead lifts and eyelid surgery. Although the American population is aging, the length of lives are increasing. Aging Americans are more active than any generation before them, these numbers are not going to decline in the years ahead. The relevant question for many older people then is, “When is one too old to undergo plastic surgery?” Many plastic surgery procedures require an anesthetic with its associated cardiovascular risks. The most commonly requested procedures, such as a facelift, can take extended operation times of three to five hours with increased risks of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus. The consideration of one’s health, medications being taken and the medical opinion of one’s doctor can determine whether these known risks are reasonably low to justify elective cosmetic surgery. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon. Comments can be sent to info@ eppleyplasticsurgery.com

DISPATCHES » Rent a casket – For those who want to save money on a funeral, many funeral homes now offer a rent-a-casket option. The casket contains a simple inner container that is removed after the funeral service. The deceased is buried in the container, and the casket is then reused for multiple services. -www.money.msn.com » Builders still pessimistic – The National Association of Home Builders said last week that its index of builder sentiment in August was unchanged at 15. The index has been below 20 for all but one month during the past two years. Any reading below 50 indicates negative sentiment about the housing market. It hasn’t reached 50 since April 2006, the peak of the housing boom. -www.finance.yahoo.com » The living dead – More Americans are being erroneously killed off by the Social Security Administration every day. Of the approximately 2.8 million death reports the Social Security Administration receives per year, about 14,000 – or one in every 200 deaths – are incorrectly entered into its Death Master File. That averages out to 38 life-altering mis-

takes a day. Erroneous death entries can lead to benefit termination, cause severe financial hardship and distress to affected individuals, and result in the publication of living individuals’ personal information. -www.money.cnn.com » Kids costs $200,000 – Parents will spend, on average, more than $200,000 raising a child by the time their teen graduates from high school, according to a study by Los Angeles-based IBISWorld. Couples earning more than $75,000 a year will shell out more $300,000. According to the study, a typical family spends $12,658 a year raising a child. www.moneywatch.bnet.com » BMC: Buy or sell? – Lackluster quarterly results at BMC Software have triggered a debate over whether this is a blip or an indication of long-term weakness for the business-software maker. The company failed to show any bookings growth in April-June at its enterprise services management business, the larger of its two divisions. Weeks ago, the stock hit a more-than-a-decade high of $56.55. The bears say BMC’s low estimated earnings multiple -- of 12.4 against a sector average of 39.6 -- is a sign of muted future growth. -Reuters

Look both ways when crossing the street COMMENTARY By David Cain I started running again. This morning, I was almost sent to early retirement by a car. It was my fault. I get in my own world. Headset on, trudging ahead, I stopped really looking both ways. I did physically look but really I was just going through the motions. It was more like a glance instead of a look, a quick peak with no conscious thought about what I was doing. I was running at what felt like the speed of a leopard, but it was probably more like that of a wounded bear. Maybe a bear that quit looking both ways and had been hit by a Hummer. Anyway, I was going slowly so it was easy to stop. I was about to plunge out into the road, glanced both ways, then a car sped by within inches. Within inches of a major disaster. My life flashed before my eyes. Well, not really. But it did scare me enough that for the next 15 minutes of my run I thought about important stuff and mentally wrote this column. I remembered how my little girls cross the ntEr street. I take them to the curb and say, “Look all

ways” and then watch to make sure they make some effort at my request. Recently I said to Zoe, “Look all ways” and she quipped back, “I can’t see from down here.” I’d never really thought about it. There are two components at least – concentration and ability – to a successfully crossing the street. As I galloped along at what now seemed like the speed of a winning racehorse, I could clearly see the lines between life and business were blurred. I realized when I’m at the office I don’t really look both ways, I just run out in the road mostly. The ability to see both ways is only part of the battle. Most of the battle is fought and won on concentration and execution. Instead, actually accomplishing something or really looking both ways with real purpose for why you are doing something makes a difference.

The ability to see both ways is only part of the battle.

The study included 69 female college students who thought they were evaluating a store as mystery shoppers. The participants were instructed to ask a salesperson about a specific shirt and were subsequently directed to a rack where a highly attractive woman was standing and “coincidentally” wearing the product. The women later were asked about their impressions of the product and their own bodies. Those with lower body esteem gave the product a lower rating. -www.dailyfinance.com

The core of interior design COMMENTARY Vicky Earley Textile – 1. any fabric or cloth, esp woven 2. raw material suitable to be made into cloth; fibre or yarn The definition of this superstar of the design world makes fabric seem ordinary…far from the design vital core that it is. The textile selected for an interior design project fulfills many artistic and functional roles. So much is expected of this humble weave. Fabric costs have risen substantially in the past few years so using wisely is critical to any project. If your fabric is for upholstery, consider how the room is used. A delicate fabric such as silk is best used on an accent chair that will not experience a tremendous amount of wear. This is a situation where the fabric is expected to be beautiful and make a statement. The sturdy chenilles and wovens are the workhorses of the textile industry and carry the load in family room upholstery settings. Most upholstery grade textiles carry a “rub-factor” grade that will tell you what to expect in terms of usage based on testing. Once you’ve decided on a particular style,

research the look in magazines and books to get a feel for the textiles that best set the mood. Certain textures and sheens work best for specific styles. Remember, the blend of textures says as much about the style as the pattern and color. Coordinate the pattern and color along with the sheen and texture of your fabric. You could have sensory overload in a room full of polished cotton and silk if it’s not tempered with enough matte materials. Select the fabric before selecting a wall color, I can’t emphasize this enough. There are millions of colors but there are relatively few fabrics you will love enough to use for your home. Look beyond the traditional fabric store for an inspiring textile. One of my favorite projects was to upholster a bench that was intended for a young girl’s room; using the quilt that had been her baby blanket. Sweaters can become pillows and jewelry can adorn!

Eyelash Extensions Celebrities are known for their impeccable looks, slim physiques, and the endless amount of help they have to achieve this ideal image. While we would all love to have a team getting us ready in the morning, an hour in the salon can be just the trick to minimizing your morning prep time and adding effortless glamour to your everyday style. Eyelash extensions are the newest way to get incredible style with minimal effort. Why try them? Extensions are semi-permanent, weightless, water-resistant, and last up to four weeks. The application is a painless, relaxing procedure that can take as little as a half hour from start to finish. You’ll notice increased length and thickness even without mascara. What are they? Salon 01 uses Xtreme Lashes that are composed of single strands of synthetic eyelashes curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are applied directly to the individual eyelashes, one at a time. There are over 400 varieties with varying lengths, colors, curvatures, and thicknesses. Because there are so many options, you’ll find a style that is natural and perfect for you.

Back To School! $5 off a haircut for all elementary, middle, high school and college students

Are they safe? Xtreme Lashes was actually developed by a team of scientists, physicians, and lash stylists under the direction of the founder Jo Mousselli, who is a registered nurse. Because such a diverse team has created the lashes, they are of the highest safety, quality, and performance standards. How will it change my beauty routine? You will no longer need to apply mascara but will be able to do so using Xtreme Lashes Mascara, specially formulated for the extensions. Aftercare for the extensions requires makeup remover and facial cleanser for proper maintenance.

Fall 2011 Hair Trend: The Double Knot While 2010 was adorned with embellishments and accessories, 2011 is a change toward the more au naturale. There will be no lack in impressibility or quality but a shift in embracing natural texture and style will be a welcome change. Prep Prep using the Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray to ensure a strong hold. The key is to add volume without making the style too messy. Use Aquage Uplifting Foam or Sea Salt Texturizing spray at the roots. Set the products by blow-drying on high. Style After hair is completely dry, part in the middle down the back of the head. Pull the separated strands to

each side and firmly grasp them in your hands. Tie the first knot and pull tight before tying the next. After the two knots are tied, secure using bobby pins. Start by placing a bobby pin through the left hair part and the hair knot. Do the same on the right hair knot. For a more secure hold, add a pin that goes through the second knot that was created. Finish Add shine and hold by using Aquage Finishing Spray liberally throughout the hair. For more style tips, be sure to ask your stylist at Salon 01 about the newest trends!

Basement remodel: ‘Open design for family & friends’ REMODELING By Larry Greene ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home located in the Longridge Estates Subdivision on the west side of Carmel was built in 2006. The current owners built the home but had not finished the basement.The homeowner commented, “Having the basement finished was a dream of ours since the beginning.” ROOM FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS: According to the homeowner, the entire family is enjoying the new basement. The family includes mom and dad and children with ages ranging from 14 to 22. “We wanted the basement remodeled to make it more inviting and to accommodate the friends of our youngest child. It turns out my husband uses the room the most. The kids are not there all of the time. but now they have a place to go when their friends come over.” ENTERTAINMENT AREAS: The new basement features a media area highlighted by an inceiling projector, wide screen and theatre seating. According to the homeowner, “We just love the entertainment area. We love the big screen with the projector, the seating arrangements, the exercise room and the closet space. The basement area is so open. We really like the way it

was designed and the way it all came together.” CLOSET SPACE AND EXERCISE ROOM: The new basement features additional storage and a dedicated exercise room, which is separated from the rest of the basement by glass French doors. The homeowner said, “Things were sort of organized on store-bought shelves or I didn’t

have anything at all to put things on. We could never find anything. Now, with the closet space, it is so easy to reach things and to organize with the shelves. And, it’s more inviting. My exercise room is so much more inviting to be in. I’m more motivated to exercise.” Finally, the new basement received new tex-

tured epoxy flooring and a new full bathroom. Larry Greene is the president of Case Design/Remodeling, a fullservice design/build firm serving Hamilton County. Contact him at lgreene@indy.rr.com.

Literal truth, inerrant God Spirituality By Bob Walters A popular online news organization recently posted a feature story about why it’s a mistake to read the Bible literally and folly to think the Bible is inerrant. Written by a Christian professor, the article cited predictable scholarship and supporting evidence. The Bible itself claims to be “inspired and useful” (2 Timothy 3:16), but not inerrant. Revelation (the Bible’s final book) in parts is impenetrable. Even the brilliant St. Augustine had to allegorize (or, “say it was something else”) the story of Jonah and the whale. The four Gospels don’t agree about what happened on days of Holy Week when Jesus was betrayed, tried, crucified and resurrected. Lots and lots of stuff in the Bible don’t seem to add up. Well, it’s a good day for the Devil when he can sow doubt about the Bible, and by extension, about God. The double-entrendre headline, “4 reasons not to read the Bible … literally,” may be harmless, or could imply: The Bible is wrong, so if the Bible is the story of God, then God must be wrong. Hallelujah, we can ignore the Bible and God. Misinterpreted or not, the headline harkens rehashing. A Christian faith conversation centered on literalism and inerrancy of the Bible will quickly go out-of-round for the simple reason that the conversation isn’t truly centered. The Bible is

something dramatically more important than “literal” and “inerrant.” It is truth, which almost always involves more than simple calculation. If the issue is, “The Bible doesn’t add up,” then let’s go to math class. Let’s add up a list of numbers, terms and factors; we’ll get a defensibly inerrant answer. But, if the “list” is actually a quadratic equation and calculated with the wrong method like addition, we’ll not only get the wrong answer but entirely miss the point of the exercise because we have mistaken its central purpose, which is not addition. Secularist logicians and sadly more than a few Christians miss the “answer” of the Bible because they refuse or confuse the Bible’s central purpose – revealing God’s truth. Scripture’s message isn’t simple addition, it’s a cosmically complex equation of faith, hope, love, truth, creation, relationship, separation, loss, betrayal, death, redemption, eternal life and perfection. It’s the ultimate story problem. And what’s the story? Jesus Christ is the literal truth about an inerrant God, and we – each of us personally – is a loved and important part of the equation. That is the true center of the Bible. Bob Walters (www.believerbob. blogspot.com, email rlwcom@aol. com) was horrible at high school math but scored higher in math than verbal on the SAT.

DISPATCHES » No drunk pet shopping – New York petshop proprietors are taking a stand against irresponsible pet owners by refusing to sell puppies to drunk customers. Two popular stores in the city’s West Village--Le Petit Puppy and Citipups--have officially banned store patrons from buying dogs if they come into the store inebriated, according to the Washington Post’s Blogpost blog. Le Petit Puppy’s manager, told the Post that it’s common for customers to leave local bars and buy kittens or puppies. -www.pawnation.com » Adopt cats for less – All felines, kittens included, are 50 percent off every Thursday at the Humane Society for Hamilton County until further notice. That’s just $37.50 or less for the fabulous feline of your choice including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines. The hope is that the new Thursday incentive will encourage people to adopt a cat or kitten, opening space for the influx of felines that the shelter is already seeing due to “kitten season” and the continued increase in owner-surrendered cats. “In May alone, we have taken in numerous pregnant cats, dozens of orphaned kittens and nearly 100 stray and unwanted cats,” said Executive Director Rebecca Stevens. “By reducing the number of cats in our care, our hope is to prevent the spread of illness and cramped quarters for the felines who remain.”

Why your pets needs antioxidants PETS By John Mikesell Don’t look for or put your faith in a silver bullet antioxidant, it doesn’t exist. Rather, supplement your dog’s diet with a variety of fresh foods that contain antioxidants, such as bluberries, herbs (basil is great), tomatoes, egg yolks, green tea or spinach. Feed these foods especially in times of increased physical stress for your dog, for example, when he’s fighting cancer, or after extreme physical exertion. Don’t overfeed anyone antioxidants. Balance and variety are always advised. Here are some issues with which antioxidants can help: Arthritis: Antioxidants, but particularly vitamin C, are vital to any arthritic therapeutic program. Vitamin C is involved in the building and healing of joint and bone structures and it plays an active role in the immune response.

Cancer prevention: Antioxidants protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals, slow tumor growth, and/or help cellular DNA retain its normal configuration. Vision and eyesight: Antioxidants leutine and zeanxanthin are particularly helpful for supporting good eye health. Immune function: Antioxidants are known to enhance healthy lymphocyte production as well as offering protective factors for other components of the immune system. Exercise tolerance: Studies indicate there may be a protective effect from long-term exercise, when exercising produces an excess of free radicals over time the body Heart disease: Antioxidants protect the heart and circulatory system from oxidative stress from free radicals Whenever possible, use natural food sources known to be high in antioxidants.

If it helps make the food more palatable for your dog’s taste buds, go ahead and chop up vegetables, fruits and berries, all excellent sources and many of these will provide a healthy stew of a variety of antioxidants. Do not overdo any one antioxidant. A healthy balance is the key. Again, this is best provided by giving a mixture of many antioxidant sources in the diet. Be sure to see your health food professional for food and supplement suggestions. Remember, additional vitamins, too, as all pets in this day and age are exposed to more environmental pollution and because our dogs’ food sources are usually not as natural as they should be.

You have my word on it HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie Many of the devices in my home have features I wouldn’t dare mess with. My TV remote has an option that says LOCK. As someone who once got stuck in his garage naked, I’m not looking for any more trouble. Our dishwasher has a switch that says AUTO WASH but I’m not really sure how I’d get the Prius in there. The clothes dryer has a WRINKLE SHIELD setting. I would like that one installed on my forehead. It’s best not to annoy your appliances, so I’m going to push as few of their buttons as possible. However, as a writer, I’m not averse to programs on my computer that facilitate the creative process. For example, there is a neat feature on my Microsoft Word 2010 that keeps track of how long I have worked on a particular text. Now I can get a pretty good idea of the time I could spend doing something worthwhile, instead. By the way, the software simply counts how many minutes I have had the document open on my desktop. It does not include the hours I roll around in bed, slamming my cranium into the headboard trying to come up with a topic to write about. That’s in the 2012 version. My editor, Heidi, also suggested that I try using the helpful Find and Replace feature to help me avoid redundancy. She showed me how to enter terms and phrases into a search window to see if I have overused any in my weekly columns that I am now compiling into a new book. I refused, at first. I just didn’t think as an experienced writer, I would have fallen into such lazy habits. But I made a bet with her that our little

experiment would actually demonstrate I was pretty good at avoiding needless repetition. But she was very confident I would lose the wager. Heidi emailed me a list of words and expressions to check at my first opportunity. She reminded me I begin a lot of sentences with the word “but,” even though it is grammatically permissible. But, she cautioned, I shouldn’t overuse it. Here were the results: In just the last 75 columns, I had used the word “very” 189 times. Also: Pretty/ 187 times Just/ 134 times Even/ 156 times Actually/ 109 times I think/ 78 times I started scores of sentences with the word “but.” Almost a hundred times, actually. When I saw the final results, I think I was pretty much in denial, so I even went back and re-read a few of my favorite essays because I was very sure this was just some kind of computer glitch. I discovered the program was actually pretty accurate. This word repetition problem is something I was unaware of. That’s why I went over this column one extra time. I just want to please my readers. That’s actually very important to me. But I just think you pretty much already know that.
