OUR VIEWS

It is our position Hamilton County will be wellserved by the re-election of Mayors Jim Brainard in Carmel, John Distlear in Noblesville and Andy Cook in Westfield. After a robust discussion over the past few months, we voters ultimately made our choice last week stating emphatically existing leadership (at least for the largest majority) was on-target. We concur. Hamilton County continues to be a beacon of economic growth and distinction the categories of quality of life, education and stability. These men can take their share of the credit. All have made bold steps to position our communities to take advantage of a growing trend in population and wealth distribution. However, this election cycle did not pass without raising several important questions to be considered and resolved during the coming four years. Will there be a taxpayer reckoning for the spending required to realize the ambitious dreams of these leaders? Will, as the saying goes, they come if we build it? The world is a rapidly changing and evolving place – perhaps now more than ever. Therefore, we intend to continue to expect real answers to hard questions, we believe we have the right leadership for the job.

Training facility

It is our position the potential for the construction of a single law enforcement and fire personnel training facility by the neighboring communities of Hamilton County is welcome. Ongoing training for all of the law and fire personnel is imperative to allow them to keep up with new technology and equipment. The lack of a local facility requires the personnel to obtain instruction at other locations, and may involve payment by the cities to other entities for training. The development is unique because it is apparent a genuine effort is being pursued to accomplish something uniformly beneficial to the communities, without the frequent tug-of-war which has resulted in duplication of efforts and diluting of the effects of actions in each city. A single facility can jointly use the contribution of funding and personnel from the participating cities, and all personnel will have access to the best instructors from all of the units. The completed center should be able to include more equipment to enhance the experience of the personnel because of the cooperation. We strongly support this budding effort, and hope the communities will throw their visible support behind the project as it matures.

How do they know I’m not a car thief?

FROM THE BACKSHOP Retirement not currently in Basile’s vocabulary This is some “retirement” Frank Basile is enjoying. The former senior vice president of the Gene B. Glick Co., as you might know, has been the acting president and chief executive officer for The Center for the Performing Arts since late July. Basile is a man of many passions, chief among them travel, dining, authorship and, now, seeing to it that the Center rises to the all-important next level. It strikes us that the native Louisianan actually is happily un-retired, if you will. He has the staying power – and the blessings of his wife, Katrina, a Realtor – to work consecutive 14-hour days. Too, together they funded an eponymous gift shop, which opens Saturday in the Center; that underscores an even heavier commitment to the facility. In his workweek, when it’s time to grab dinner, Katrina picks him up and they roll away to sample the ample gastronomic fare in the area – and then it’s back to the office. He could be off on another “adventure of a lifetime” in a remote outpost on the other side of the world, yet he has no complaints. There will be time for that. In the interim, it’s strictly about making the Center all that it can be, and our community should be grateful to Basile for stepping up and engineering the mission.

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg ••• We’re confused about the Occupy Wall Street movement, and here’s why: We’re sure you’re well aware of the whole Solyndra scandal, which ultimately will cost taxpayers $535 million. Back in February, the Energy Department agreed to restructure Solyndra’s loan that allowed $75 million from a fund controlled by a major Barack Obama supporter to be ranked ahead of the government (Read: taxpayers) in the event of bankruptcy. Isn’t this the ultimate in cronyism? So, why aren’t the occupiers protesting outside the White House?

COMMENTARY By Kevin Kane The name Grand Theft Auto might imply that stealing cars in the videogame is easy, but that’s not always the case. Like in real life, some actually have alarms, and you can’t drive two blocks in these cars without being chased by the virtual cops, which is understandable. That’s why I wonder why my neighbors haven’t called the police on me. I’m not stealing cars, but I’m not sure how my neighbors know this. You see, the alarm on my Saab 9-5 goes off a couple times per week without provocation. It’s a common Saab problem, I hear, and there’s absolutely no way to shut off the incredibly obnoxious, high-pitched alarm once it gets going. It just has to run its course. Sometimes this is only a few seconds. But there have been multiple times when I’ve been forced to drive the squealing car around my apartment complex, trying my best to spread out the inconvenience equally amongst my neighbors. It surely must look suspicious. The alarm begins to sound and I get into the car. That’s questionable sign No. 1. I then frantically try the few adjustments I superstitiously think have shut off the alarm in the past, yet it keeps whaling. Sign No. 2. When all else fails, I start the car and hurriedly drive it away. This last part, I would believe, should prompt the dog-walkers and

business was busy and my mom had just sold her condo and moved in with us. We were not ready for a home of monthly surprises. But now, again time is asserting itself; and I’ve learned. Lifetime shingles last about 12 years. Lifetime windows last about a decade (if one is lucky) and lifetime-manufactured siding lasts even less. We’ve learned the lesson of the fine print – and of folks not standing behind their products. But more than anything, I suppose we’ve learned there is not life without stewardship. Even as we hoped to avoid caretaking, we are reminded humans consume: Carpets wear out and refrigerators fail after too many ice cubes. But instead of consumers, should we think of ourselves as stewards?

Lifetime stewardship Commentary By Terry Anker Time may heal all wounds, but it wreaks havoc on infrastructure. For many years, Carolyn and I lived in a house built in the 1930s. Taking shape during the depression, the home was built at a time when craftsman were, perhaps because of a lack of competition for their skills, able to focus on one project at a time. Plus given then economic conditions, folks expected things to last. By the time we took possession of the home it was a senior citizen and things were in need of repair. We tackled projects in order of significance in an ongoing and almost perpetual way. We completed infrastructure (think septic) with cosmetic (think interior paint) imagining every good meal includes nutrition and taste. Now, we are in a house built during a boom time – the late 1990s. Builders could barely keep up with demand. When we made the move, we needed a house ready to operate without failure. Our youngest was in diapers,

people peering through their blinds to dial 9-11, but no. I’m glad I haven’t had to explain myself to the Carmel police, but are my neighbors’ reasons for not alerting the authorities based on apathy or an assumption that this is Carmel and, therefore, I am not a criminal? And is there really a preferable option? I’d like to think that my neighbors think I have an innocent face and don’t give off a criminal vibe, but let’s be realistic. I live in an apartment and consequently don’t know my neighbors. They have no prior experience with me to know for sure that I didn’t, and wouldn’t steal a Saab. More likely is that they – like most of us would do in this situation – determine that the odds of my suspicious actions being the result of a fluke misunderstanding are greater than their interest in getting involved. So they don’t. I guess I would probably do the same thing, but it still makes me wonder. The only thing I know for sure is that my car is one of the easiest to steal, because it’s clear that neither its owner nor the people living nearby find a sounding alarm on a moving vehicle to be out of the ordinary.

ReADERS’ VIEWS ATI deserves a larger audience Editor, We have attended four shows put on by the Actors Theatre of Indiana since it opened at the Studio Theatre at The Center for the Performing Arts, and have been so impressed with the talent. Unfortunately, the attendance at their shows hasn’t been stellar, and we would love to help this talented group of people get more exposure. It seems that the big-ticket shows at the Palladium get a lot of press, but this smaller group is left to

struggle. They are local and talented. Their present production of Forbidden Broadway is demonstrative of the effort and talent that this small troupe puts on the table. We laughed so hard during their Oct. 29 performance and were thoroughly entertained. They truly need some exposure. Please consider taking in one of their performances to see for yourself what we are talking about. Jim and PJ Reilly, 46032

A better solution is needed Editor, I am surprised that you were against moving up construction at Keystone Parkway and 96th Street in Nov. 1’s From the Backshop. However, I am happy to see your comments about the local businesses. This is a bit too late for all the businesses that went broke when 116th and Keystone was being done. Perhaps you have

seen what happened then and don’t want to see it again. Keystone already has been a nightmare during the Interstate 465 construction. I agree with you, there must be a better (and less costly) solution. Hopefully we don’t build another roundabout. The others on Keystone already are dangerous when exiting, especially at rush hour.

The tales of twins COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I had the pleasure of participating in a twins’ panel the other night, both as a twin myself and as a mother of twins. Most of the questions pertained to the unique circumstances of raising multiples, but there were a few relevant to parenting in general. So I thought I’d share my responses with you: 1. “Now you’re back to work, do you miss your kids?” No. Nor have I ever. Even when I went back eight weeks postpartum after my first born. I do experience guilt, almost on a daily basis. I occasionally have emotional breakdowns in my car over whether I’m a horrible mom for wanting to spend eight to hours away from short people, but I can’t honestly say I miss my kids. Bottom line? I’m a better mom when I don’t have to focus my attention on nutritional lunches, laundry apartheid, and choosing which day we’re going to contract pink eye from the Children’s Museum. 2. “With four kids, how do you balance all the activities and still have time for family?” We don’t. We try our best, but during soccer season, we rarely eat a meal together. We even limit them to one sport/ class per season, but the schedule still

is out of control. Having kids in all age groups where in multiple practices and games a week are the norm, we are chalking up serious mileage. But studies show busy, engaged kids are less likely to end up on drugs or pregnant, so we’re sticking with the crazy. 3. “Do you ever get to spend one-on-one time with your children?” Sometimes, yes. But generally, no. We dedicate the month of January to taking each child out for a special “afternoon” of their design, like Wendy’s goodness followed by Laser Tag madness. If I’m not already asleep by 8:30, I will occasionally crawl in bed with a kid and read for about 10 minutes. I’m not super proud of this lack of parental attention, but no one needs therapy yet, so they can’t be suffering too badly. There you have it. Enough “Danielle Wilson” fodder for you to make it through the week, whether you’re criticizing or commiserating. Peace out! Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist.

Carmel churches step up VOLUNTEERS By Jeff Worrell On Oct. 16, the big talk and competitive strategizing came to an end as the congregations of Carmel United Methodist Church and St. Marks United Methodist Church had to put their feet where their mouths are, so to speak. According to Pastor Patti Payntor, “Our Church can out walk, out raise and out talk Reverend Bill Keith and his St. Marks gang with our eyes closed.” Well, maybe the always reverent reverend didn’t exactly say that, but she could have, as Carmel United is the defending champion in the newly established rivalry between the two churches to raise the greatest amount of money and bring the most walkers to the CROP Walk each year. All in good fun and for a really good cause, several local churches from the Carmel area came together to support the 2011 event. Ed King is an expert, having participated in every CROP Walk since 1994 and was the coordinator for the team from Carmel United Methodist. He summed it up by saying, “CROP walks are certainly one of the many ways God can use all of us to do all the good you can. I also love the ecumenical spirit of the CROP walk that supports Church World Service ministries. It is inspiring to witness local churches working together in Christian love to help those in need.” He is referring to the way local faith commu-

nities came together this year in a big way; 375 walkers from 25 different churches in Hamilton County collected more than $28,000. St. Christopher Episcopal in Carmel created a theme called “sock it to hunger.” They provided a sock to each family that could be used to give thanks for their food and think of those who did not have adequate food each time they had a meal. Orchard Park Presbyterian in Carmel turned their event into a parent-youth activity to build a special bond while helping others. Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church sponsored a food drive for CROP Walk at their Greek festival (folks could bring in cans of food instead of paying the entrance fee) and collected a whopping 1,800 pounds of food. Twenty-five percent of the money raised this year will stay in Hamilton County with the Good Samaritan Network. The rest of the money goes to fight world hunger. And, if Reverend Payntor said anything, it probably sounded more like, “We have a fun and unique contest where the only goal is to stamp out hunger.” That means everyone wins.

The redevelopment of Mohawk Hills might be back on track By Kevin Kane kevin@youarecurrent.com The apartment buildings at Mohawk Hills have seen better days. Many of the roofs are discolored, even missing shingles. Some gutters are in need of repair and the once-high-end residential buildings today are showing their age after nearly 40 years of use. But now plans for Gramercy are getting back on track, meaning Mohawk Hills could undergo a major makeover in the near future. Original plans for Gramercy date to 2006, two years after Buckingham Companies acquired the 116-acre property at Keystone Parkway and 126th Street. The company was successful in getting the area zoned as a planned unit development for its $500 million, mixeduse project that would replace Mohawk Hills with a combination of single- and multi-family housing, offices and retail units. Responding to feedback from residents living close to the development site, Buckingham Companies agreed to change its plans, trading some townhouses for more single-family houses

and reducing maximum building heights from 100 to 60 feet, among other changes. Still, the project was to be completed in about 10 years from that time, but work on the site never began. “There were some pretty elaborate plans but then all of the sudden it just died down,” said Plan Commission member Sue Westermeier, who also served Westermeier on the commission at this time. In 2008, Buckingham Companies pulled the plug on the project, citing a slowed economy and housing market. But now the company again is seeking project approval for the site. A public hearing on the site plan was on the agenda of tonight’s Plan Commission meeting, but Mike Hollibaugh Dept. of Community Services director, said the item was tabled until the commission’s Dec. 20 meeting as Buckingham did not provide the public a minimum of 25 days notice prior to the meeting. Buckingham Companies representatives declined to comment about the details

what has changed? Buckingham Companies’ plans for Gramercy have changed since 2006 based on the current marketplace. Changes include: • The complete renovation of about 420 existing Mohawk Hills units • 1,100 new units instead of 2,400 • Two- to four-story buildings instead of six to seven stories

Mohawk Hills was built in the early 1970s and appears to be in need of renovations. of the project, but according to the minutes from the Oct. 19 meeting of the Technical Advisory Meeting, the company has made significant changes to its plans for Gramercy. Hollibaugh “In the past five years the economy and marketplace has changed dramatically,” the minutes read. “Since this project has been in the works for the past five years it has been re-envisioned into something that would be able to take root and be successful in the current economy and community.” The changes, presented by Buckingham Companies at the Oct. 19 TAC meeting, include dramatically scaling back the amount of work that would be done. Original plans called for the construction of about 2,400 total new units in buildings reaching up to seven stories in height. According to the minutes, the revised project plans would be completed in two phases and would include the renovation of some existing Mohawk Hills units and construction of about 1,100 new units in a variety of

building types. The structures in the new plans would mostly be two or three stories, with four-story buildings in the community’s “urban core.” The company intends to begin work in the project’s first phase in the spring, and this phase would include “the complete renovation of the 420 remaining units, the addition of 700 new units and the removal of eight to nine buildings,” according to the minutes. While Buckingham Companies put Gramercy on hold a few years ago, Plan Commission member Alan Potasnik said Potasnik the fact that this project has reached the commission’s agenda is a sign that the company is definitely ready to proceed with its plans. “There’s too much at stake,” he said. “If the project is turned down, there’s a waiting period to bring it back…There are a lot of costs involved to get to this point.”

The first phase of the project calls for the complete renovation of about 420 existing units.

Gehlhausen named Meals on Wheels interim director By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Beth Gehlhausen has been appointed interim executive director of Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County. She will succeed Marti Lindell as head of the nonGehlhausen profit which has been delivering hot, nutritious meals for 36 years to the doors of county residents who cannot prepare food on their own due to age, illness or disability. Lindell resigned in September after five years at the helm of the organization. “Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County is on the cusp of change and growth in serving those who need a little help in staying self-sufficient in their own home,” Gehlhausen added. “I am honored to have been selected to take part in

this exciting time in the life of the organization.” Gehlhausen has provided a variety of services to numerous social services organizations through her firm, Gehlhausen Consulting. She was the founder of Prevail, Inc., and executive director there for 18 years. She chairs the Hamilton County Community Corrections Advisory Board, and has been actively involved in the Fishers Redevelopment Authority, the M&I Bank Advisory Board and the Fishers Branch Board of Advisors for the YMCA, among other organizations. “We are so pleased to have Beth partnering with us,” said Board President Susan Wack. “Her expertise in leadership and knowledge about the county is a valuable asset, and will be particularly important as Meals on Wheels prepares for an explosive need as baby boomers age and the nation sees the so-called Silver Tsunami.” For more information about Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County, visit mealsonwheelshc.org.

Talk like a royal

GRAMMAR LESSON By Brandie Bohney Among the many questions about word usage I got after the further-farther column, one of the most interesting is today’s topic: is family singular or plural? I wrote about this a few months ago, but I’ve since learned I’m apparently British. Rhonda wrote with the question after her daughter heard a British reporter start a sentence, “The Royal Family are….” Could this be correct? It sounds so, well, foreign. But the Brits speak English. How could they sound so foreign? And I loved that Rhonda asked, “Does the Royal Family get special treatment with their verb?” Here’s the deal: the reporter was correct (probably). In American English, we generally always treat collective nouns like family as singular. The only time we don’t treat family as singular here on this side of the pond, in fact, is when we use a personal pronoun. In that case, we use they: My family used to eat meat, but now they are vegetarians. This has more to do with our discomfort in referring to our families as it than it has to do with recognizing family can be either singular or plural, and grammatically speaking, it’s not quite correct. We – in the U.S., anyhow – wouldn’t generally say, “My family are vegetarians,” but it wouldn’t be wrong to do so.

In British English, the difference between a singular group and a plural group is more frequently recognized with a difference in verb, and that was the explanation I gave a few months ago (hence my previously unrecognized Britishness). The nice thing about the way the Brits treat collective nouns is you always know whether they are speaking of the group as a singular unit or as individuals who are part of a whole – it’s precise. The nice thing about the way we treat collective nouns in the U.S. is it’s easy. If the reporter in question was speaking of the Royal Family as individuals (The Royal Family are vacationing at various times this year), the use of a plural verb is correct and not just because it’s the Royal Family. The average Brit might say, “My family are living in several countries.” That same Brit might also say, “My family is very close.” The difference is in the first sentence, family refers to individuals who are members of the family, and in the second example, family refers to the group as a whole. Again, the way we treat the collective nouns in the U.S. is easier. Perhaps not as precise, but definitely easier.

SURVIVING DIVORCE - PART III

In the event your divorce case does not settle, how can you best be prepared for Court? With more than 15 years as a divorce attorney, Lanae Harden, who chairs the Family Law Practice Group at HARDEN JACKSON, LLC, offers the following suggestions:

First, you must always remember that every action that you take in your divorce proceeding will be judged by the court. Therefore, err on the side of caution and do not behave in a manner that might be viewed unfavorably by the judge if spun the right way by opposing counsel. The easiest way to follow this advice is always put your children’s interests first. For example, if your estranged spouse wants to exchange parenting time weekends for a family reunion, be flexible to allow your children the opportunity to spend time with extended family. Do so even if you know the favor will not be returned when you need to rearrange parenting time. It is the right thing to do. Plus, the judge will notice that you and not your estranged spouse have placed the children’s interests above all else. Be prepared for court by requesting that your attorney give you an outline of questions that she will ask you at court. Meet with your attorney prior to the hearing as a practice run before court. Have your attorney play the role of opposing counsel and ask you questions that opposing counsel may pose to you at court. At court, never be sarcastic or rude to the court, its staff, or opposing counsel. Do not sigh or make negative facial expressions when other witnesses are testifying because the court is taking into account the demeanor of the parties at all times. If questioned about a clear mistake that you have made, own up to the mistake. Do not rationalize, instead make it clear that you’ve learned from the mistake, and it will not be repeated. Give due credit to your estranged spouse when warranted but point out issues that concern you regarding their parenting style or judgment. Finally, make a reasonable request to the court. Do not assume that you need to ask for more than you believe is fair because the other party will do the same and the court will split the difference. Courts tend to appreciate the party who proposes practical and reasonable solutions to the parties’ differences. Remember, these suggestions are not meant to be legal advice. You should consult an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation. If you have questions, you may contact our firm at 317-569-0770 or www.hardenjacksonlaw.com.

While the rest of the Indianapolis area will be stuck inside and constrained by the various ice and snow storms coming this winter, we’ll be living it up at The Stratford!

Sandwiches for football What do our favorite food, an English Earl, and the 50th state have in common? Here’s the story. The eighth Earl of Sandwich (John Montague 1718-1792) discovered the Sandwich Islands (now Hawaii). The Earl was a serious gambler who could stand for hours at the gambling tables. To

eat and not interrupt his betting, Montagu ordered a servant to put some meat between two pieces of bread, hence inventing the world’s first sandwich. Since that day in 1762, the sandwich has become the world’s favorite meal and is the staple of tailgating.

Ingredients: dijon mustard 2 tsp; balsamic vinegar 1 tsp; olive oil 4oz; warm water 2oz; salt and pepper – ground; large loaf of Italian, French or other rough bread; red, green and yellow peppers sliced and roasted mushrooms sliced and roasted; thin sliced polish ham or prosciutto 1 lb; very thin sliced turkey breast 1 lb; feta cheese 8 oz; fresh herbs like basil, parsley and or cilantro. To prepare: In a bowl, combine mustard and vinegar. Mix in olive oil and then warm water. Salt and pepper this mixture to taste and put aside for now. Slice the large loaf of bread length wise. Scoop out the bulk of the bread. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle feta cheese on sandwich Add sliced peppers and mushrooms, layers of ham and turkey and drizzle with a little of the vinegar mix. Place the top

crust on the sandwich and then wrap it in plastic wrap. Place a large iron skillet on top of the bread and press it for one hour. Place the sandwich into the fridge overnight. On game day, unwrap the sandwich and slice it with a sharp knife. Rewrap it and place it into your food cooler. At the game the sandwich can be placed on a wooden board and served with a pie spatula. In cold weather wrap each slice in aluminum foil and throw them individually on the grill before serving in foil.

There’s SNOW place At The Stratford we don’t have to go outside to get to our grand dining room for a delicious, hot meal. We don’t have to drive anywhere to pick out a good read from our library. No one has to hit the sidewalk to travel to the wellness center for some exercise (ours is just down the hall in the clubhouse). We don’t even have to clean up after our parties because the amazing staff here does it for us. In short, while the rest of the area is digging out—we‘ll be living it up! This could be you this winter, so call 317-733-9560 now and ask our Lifestyle Advisors about the benefits of living at The Stratford. By the first snow of this year—you’ll be glad you did!

The ‘other Carmel’ remains connected to its rich past and present By Zach Dunkin editorial@youarecurrent.com In 1924, one of the first automatic traffic signals in America was installed in Carmel, Ind., at the intersection of Main Street and Range Line Road. Carmel-by-the-Sea, often simply called Carmel, still doesn’t have one. Neither does the California coastal city have street lights, parking meters or even street addresses. Resisting temptation to become “citified,” Carmel’s founding fathers rejected home mail delivery in favor of a central post office. To this day, Carmelites walk or drive to the post office to collect their mail. In the business district, there are no fast-food restaurants or neon signs. And, until 1986, there was no selling or eating of ice cream on public streets. Mayor Clint Eastwood – yes, that Clint Eastwood -- got that frivolous law overturned. Such is the life in the “other Carmel,” unlike our Carmel, pronounced with the accent on the second syllable. On the Pacific coast about 120 miles south of San Francisco, residents – including Eastwood – share one square mile of some of the priciest real estate in the U.S. The average price of a home in Carmel is $2 million. That’s average. Founded in 1902 and incorporated in 1916, early city councils were dominated by artists, and Carmel has had several mayors who were poets or actors, including Eastwood’s one term from 1986 to 1988. Carmel remains a mecca for artists, writers, actors and musicians. More than 100 art studios, galleries and antique stores

Actor Clint Eastwood (shown in portrait below) was the mayor of Carmel, Cali. from 1986 to 1988. Photos by Zach Dunkin

are just part the adventure of exploring Carmel by foot. The compact downtown is made up of a few short blocks, filled with low, one- and two-story buildings housing nearly 50 inns and hotels and more than 60 coffee houses, bakeries, pubs and restaurants. Within the business district, visitors will discover stonepaved alleyways with more than 60 hidden courtyards containing miniature gardens tucked away among the shops. Pick up a map for a courtyard walking tour at the Carmel Chamber Visitor Center on San Carlos between 5th and 6th avenues. Carmel is ultra dog-friendly with numerous hotels, restaurants (some with doggie menus)

and retail shops admitting guests with dogs and providing the canines with bowls of fresh water and dog biscuits along the “dog route.” On the edge of the shopping district is the “residential” area, with its eclectic a blend of rustic cottages, beach houses, modern glass structures and log cabins. Unique to Carmel architecture are the fairy tale-like Comstock cottages, designed by Hugh Comstock in the 1920s. The homes feature rounded doors, rolled eaves, asymmetrical stone chimneys and “stick” fences that probably would fail most neighborhood ordinances in Carmel, Ind. Twenty-one of the original Comstock cottages remain, including

the Cottage of Sweets candy store, filled with fudge, local chocolates, British specialties and more than 50 types of licorices. Also popular are sunset strolls along the paved Carmel Beach trail, which begins at the end of Ocean Avenue. Here visitors see the locals gathering with their families, friends and dogs for wine, picnics and campfires, while wannabe surfers take “beginners’ lessons” on the short, friendly waves. Oh, and, ladies shouldn’t even think about wearing heels higher than 2 inches or with a base of less than 1 square inch – unless they want a permit from city hall. According to urban legend, when out-of-town folks complained about the uneven pavement in town, the wearing of high heels became a liability problem for the city. So, the city responded by requiring a license to wear such “perilous” footwear. That’s one law even Dirty Harry didn’t touch.

DISPATCHES » Are your shoes hurting you? – Many women think flats are a safer bet than heels, but shoes that are totally flat, with no cushioning or arch support, can pose problems as well. Not only do super-thin soles fail to absorb the shock of your feet hitting the ground, but a lack of arch support can lead to your feet rolling inward, stretching ligaments and tendons up to the knee. If you start to sag through your arch, your ankle is next, and with continued stress it could drive your knee out. “And your hip then has to respond,” a doctor told Health.com. “The problems go right up your body.” -www.health.com » Stop grazing – A few years back, “grazing” came into vogue in dieting circles. But a study published in 2010 found that people who eat low-calorie diets feel more satisfied when they eat three times a day compared to six times a day, suggesting that mini meals aren’t beneficial for appetite control. Eating constantly throughout the day increases salivary secretion and the production of digestive enzymes that stimulate the gut. Instead, divide your calories around three meals and one or two snacks, going at least three hours and up to four or five without eating. The goal is to eat when you’re hungry but not starving, which reduces the risk of overeating. -www.fitbie.com » New allergy shots on horizon? – New methods of allergy immunotherapy were discussed at last week’s annual scientific meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Potential new techniques include: 1. Intralymphatic immunotherapy, which involves injecting allergens into a lymph node. Initial research shows that this approach provides a longer-lasting and more effective response, suggesting the dose and length of treatment could be shortened. 2. Epicutaneous immunotherapy, which involves lightly scraping a patient’s skin and then applying a patch that delivers the allergens through the bloodstream. Accelerated allergy immunotherapy and the cost benefits of immunotherapy were also discussed at the meeting. -HealthDay News

Interesting questions of the week Fine Lines, Inc

COMMENTARY By Barry Eppley Q: I have gained 40 pounds since I had a hysterectomy seven years ago. My stomach is extremely disproportional to the rest of my body. I am interested in fat-injection treatments. Will insurance cover any type of non-surgical treatment to reduce my stomach fat? What is your input on this fat treatment method? A: Insurance will not cover stomach bulge removal, no matter the method of treatment. Lipodissolve, a type of fat injection, is a blend of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid solution. Although it can help reduce small collections of fat, it won’t be effective for a fat collection. The injection has lost its popularity as it proved ineffective for abdominal fat collections many people want to reduce. I still use it occasionally but only as a treatment for small postoperative liposuction ‘high spots’. You are seeking a nonsurgical solution to a surgical problem and it does not exist. Q: I am 38 years old and have had noticeable nasolabial folds for the past several years. I have used injectable fillers, specifically Juvederm Ultra XC, with some improvement. I also had my

cheeks injected. However, less than six months after the injections, my nasolabial folds are back. What are some more permanent options for someone my age? A: Deep nasolabial folds at a young age can be a very difficult problem. Some facial shapes and skin types are simply more prone to them and, if this is an issue at the young age of 38, it is going to continue to be a long-term facial issue. Injectable fillers for the nasolabial folds offer both advantages and disadvantages. Their advantage is they work when properly placed. Although most injections work the same, some simply last longer at a greater price. More expensive options can work instantaneously without significant problems. However, the injection’s results aren’t permanent. You are too young to justify surgeries such as a cheek lift and surgery isn’t a permanent solution. It would be best to continue with injectable fillers even though they have limited duration.

Insurance will not cover stomach bulge removal, no matter the method of treatment.

DISPATCHES » Quad-core processor unveiled – Nvidia has unveiled its long-anticipated Tegra 3 processor, the world’s first quadcore chip designed specifically for mobile devices. The Tegra 3 is the world’s first quad-core ARM A9-based processor, and features a 12-core GeForce graphics unit. Nvidia says the Tegra 3 offers three times the performance of its previous dual-core Tegra generation, and boasts improved multitasking, better Web browsing, and smoother app performance. The new chip will make its first appearance in the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime. -www.wired.com » Power up Outlook – The free Xobni Outlook add-on integrates with Facebook and LinkedIn so that you can see updates from your friends within Outlook--but it does Microsoft’s Connector one better by including Twitter integration, as well. What’s nice about the feature is that you see tweets only when you’re in contact with the person via Outlook, so you aren’t inundated with irrelevant tweets. That’s just the start of what Xobni can do, though: It also checks Hoover’s business database for background information about e-mail senders, and it helps organize all of your email, so you can easily see all the communications between you and your contacts (including message threads, meetings, and files exchanged) in a simple list. It even offers statistical analysis of your e-mail use. -www.pcworld.com

Set new standards for e-mail TECHNOLOGY By Ken Colburn I don’t know how to setup e-mail on my laptop so it will send through Outlook. - Sue Although Outlook and Outlook Express have been the standards for Windows, I’d recommend you consider alternatives. Outlook requires configuring for the specific e-mail provider’s incoming and outgoing mail servers. However, if the computer malfunctions, you lose it or you are without it, you have no e-mail. Another problem for mobile users is if you take your laptop on the road, often times you won’t be able to send any mail while you are connected to other networks because the outgoing mail setting won’t work on foreign networks. A better solution is a webmail program. You can get to your e-mail account from any computer with an Internet connection and you eliminate the chance of losing everything because your contacts, messages and replies all live ‘in the cloud’. You are no longer tied to any one machine when it comes to e-mail, which has many benefits:

It’s especially helpful for users who want to access e-mail from home and work. Everything you send and receive will appear exactly the same no matter where you are checking your mail. This is handy at work to confirm a message

visit, Google’s help Web site http://goo.gl/ TjzGN . Gmail’s spam filters are the best in the market, you even get 7GB of space to store file attachments. The conversation view, which is now common with many e-mail systems, groups relevant messages together so you can follow a string of messages from multiple senders, even if they weren’t all cc’d in the same message. If you deal with a large quantity of mail, their new priority inbox feature may become your new best friend. Gmail can start to figure out what you consider important mail based on many signals such as what you open and reply to and separate those messages as they come in so you can get right to the good stuff. I recognize change is hard, but I encourage you to push through the learning curve. You will wonder how you ever lived without webmail!

Although Outlook and Outlook Express have been the standards for Windows, I’d recommend you consider alternatives. you sent when you were at home. All of this becomes more useful if you have a smartphone, because the same seamless use is available on your phone. My favorite webmail system is Google’s Gmail, which is free and extremely powerful. Getting Gmail to connect with your e-mail account is fairly straightforward. For support

Soft-filtered water ... not a hard decision

» No Siri for older devices – For all of you who were hoping to upgrade your not-quite-the-latest-model iPhone to include the wise-cracking Siri, it appears you may not get it any time soon. According to a report, Apple says that its personal assistant feature will not come to non-iPhone 4S users. A user contacted Apple with a bug report, and also suggested to the company that Siri could be made available as a paid upgrade for owners of oldermodel iPhones. Apple was quick to dismiss any possibilities, saying: “Engineering has provided the following feedback regarding this issue. Siri only works on iPhone 4S and we currently have no plans to support older devices.” That said, don’t be too surprised if older iPhones show up with unofficial versions of Siri that work just as well as the official version. Just don’t expect an official version straight from Apple in the near future. -www.time.com

Business angles learned from baldness COMMENTARY By David Cain I’ve been without hair on my head so long I don’t even remember what it’s like to brush my hair. However, I’m reminded every morning at my house when screams of terror echo in the kitchen as my girls get their hair brushed. Tangles from a night of tossing and turning, which is a likely outcome when your bedtime is before nine. Although they are not big fans of having their hair brushed, they love to brush hair. They beg to sit behind their mother and brush her hair for hours. Part of it is getting even, I suppose, but part of it is simply the joy of brushing. On Sunday, the girls had been brushing for a good 30 minutes when their mother had had enough. She said, “No more!” and sent the girls on their way, brush in hand. They were upset. I wanted to help so I jokingly offered to the youngest, “Jacquie, you can brush my hair.” She stomped her feet and shot me her angry face.

Her sister chimed in, “Yeah Jacquie, you can brush Daddy’s hair,” also in a playful way. Jacquie reluctantly agreed and marched toward me with a hairbrush in hand. She walked up, with the angry face still on display, to brush my hair. She looked directly at me and said with a menacing tone, “Okay Daddy, roll up your sleeves!” I’d not considered my offer from that perspective. I guess it’s true you should look at things with fresh eyes. This week, in business and at home, I’ll be making it a point to change my perspective and look for new angles on the same old problems. It appears just when you think there are no options, there are options.

It’s true you should look at things with fresh eyes. This week, in business and at home, I’ll be making it a point to change my perspective.

Feast like a decorator this Thanksgiving

COMMENTARY By Vicky Earley Thanksgiving is a time of family, friends and tradition; however, tradition does not have to translate to boredom. Set the table with creativity and you will set the mood. Beyond the warm colors of the season, there are textures, patterns and fragrances ready to set the stage for an incredible gathering. This year consider tapping into the vintage plates handed down from grandparents, aunts or just collected. Mixing these patterns is a tribute to the family and friends who will gather at your table. This is the perfect time to toast those who used the dinnerware for many Thanksgivings before. Flowers, gourds and pinecones are staples for centerpieces but consider the unexpected. Try an arrangement of ornamental Kale, pears, apples and twigs of bittersweet displayed in a crystal compote. A large candle in a glass bowl filled with cranberries or small apples is a striking centerpiece. Since this is a time to be grateful for family, old family photos might be tucked into the centerpiece as a tribute. For a designer touch, grab a can of gold or silver spray paint and turn normal orange pumpkins into something special. Spray paint pumpkins of varying shapes and sizes, position

If your feast includes a buffet, vary the heights of the items you are serving. Use cake plates, candle holders and trays to elevate the components. This will make even the most simple of elements look impressive. Gather twigs with colorful leaves for fresh arrangements. Since it is free, consider the decor Mother Nature’s contribution to the festivities. For a more traditional twist, focus on the pumpkins and apples since they are the traditional symbols of autumn. Small pumpkins, pinecones, gourds, pears and apples arranged in low baskets make a beautiful and easy centerpiece. Name cards are a classic touch and are as simple as tucking a card with a beautifully written name in a pinecone and tied with a silk ribbon. Finally, remember Thanksgiving is a time of abundance. Whatever you do to decorate your table, this is a time to use the rule of plenty.

Fake Fresh! • Hair • Skin • Nails • Massage

Tired of hearing "you look tired" after a night without as much sleep as you had hoped for? Try these few steps to make sure you glow, even if you don't feel like it. 1. Instead of matte foundation, use a light tinted moisturizer. This will hydrate your skin, combating the dry, worn out look. 2. Don't opt for your black eyeliner when you are tired. This is too harsh. Try a navy blue liner which will help open up your eyes. 3. Use a light pink blush instead of mauve. This color brightens up your skin and creates a fresh look. 4. Remember that lip gloss helps bring light to your smile with its reflective nature. Try a shimmery peach, which also gives the impression of plumping your lips. For other makeup and skincare tips, call Salon 01 and book a makeup consultation with a trained esthetician. 317-580-0101.

A Guide to Your Perfect Mascara • Choose the right shade. The best way to get great lashes is to start with the right shade of mascara. Black can work on anyone, but for fair-skinned individuals, and those with red hair, try a brown-black for a softer look. • Add Heat Blast your eyelash curler with your hair dryer before very carefully curling the lashes. Squeeze the eyelash curler for a couple seconds once in the middle of the lashes, and once near the tips. • Enhance For a more dramatic look, apply single, false lashes that come in tiny clumps. Using tweezers, dip the lashes in lash glue and place at the outer corner of your eyelid. • Add Volume A translucent powder at the ends of lashes gives mascara volume and stay-power. Using an eye shadow brush, sweep powder on the ends and tops of your lashes. • Apply Start with the wand at the root of your lashes and wiggle the brush to your ends. Apply multiple coats for a bolder look, being careful not to let it dry between applications, in order to avoid clumping.

Enjoy!

5 Foods for Fabulous Hair You've got the lather, rinse, and repeat down, but do you know what it takes nutritionally to have remarkable hair? These 5 foods can help in taking your hair from fine to fabulous. • Salmon is known for its high amounts of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, iron and high quality protein. The healthy fats can give hair an unbelievable shine while protein is responsible for hair strength. Keep the integrity of your hair with iron and Vitamin B-12, also found in this wonder fish. • Beans are beautiful. With zinc, iron, biotin and protein, these little power players pack a punch when it comes to nutrition. Biotin deficiency is often responsible for brittle hair. Help keep your locks long and strong by getting plenty of this fiber-rich food. • Carrots and sweet potatoes are high in carotenoid, which creates the orange color and is an excellent source of Vitamin A, which helps protect your scalp's health. • Skim milk, yogurt and light cheese are high in calcium and quality protein which are two ingredients that will also help increase hair strength. • Whole grains help lower cholesterol and prevent thinning hair simultaneously. Don't be fooled by "whole wheat", however. That is not the same as whole grain.

WWJD? – No ifs, ands or buts Spirituality By Bob Walters Christians ask “What Would Jesus Do?” A better question is “What DOES Jesus Do?” Asking what Jesus “would” do splits a couple of linguistically problematic hairs. A common critique of “WWJD” is it comes dangerously close to putting “me” in the place of Jesus. Becoming “like” Christ (Philippians 3:10), and actually being Christ, are two dramatically different things. Jesus commands us to love God, not to be God. Jesus said, “Remember me,” not “Be me.” Be careful. Also, the word “would” signifies what grammar class calls a subjunctive mood or “conditional” phrase; it implies “if ” and introduces doubt. Jesus is not an “if,” He is eternally God and human. That’s the final answer, mystery and all. “Jesus is,” not “Jesus if.” Certainly our earthly, human lives are full of subjunctives and contradictions. I project my worldly pride and fight for my “rights” yet often realize later, I’m not in the right.

Jesus had perfect integrity and never wavered in his responsibility. Not one thing about Jesus was “proud” but everything about Jesus had integrity. Jesus came as a servant without pride or rights, only responsibility to God. He was steadfast in integrity, despite those who hated Him for it. If we are shooting for “like Christ,” the starting line is to emulate the integrity of Christ’s commitment to God. On the up-side, “WWJD” very importantly puts Jesus in our lives today. “What Would Jesus Do … right now?” We carry our cross today because Christ is alive today, and because what Jesus did on the Cross perpetually restores our eternal human relationship with God . Jesus is never past tense. Jesus is “I am.” Right now and forever.

Jesus is not an “if,” He is eternally God and human.

Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com) observes that pride and rights are almost always about “me,” and that integrity and responsibility are almost always about God.

Calling Carmel’s religious leaders Current in Carmel wants to hear from the city’s priests, rabbis, ministers – all of its religious and spiritual leaders. Beginning immediately, we would like to begin featuring guest columns from these people in our community. What will these articles be about? That’s really up to them. Perhaps one will write about a unique community service project conceived at a local congregation. Another could be a truncated version of a recent sermon. The possibilities are numerous, but by running these articles, we would like to help better connect Carmel with its local places of worship and the people who lead them. We hope to feature submissions from as many different voices as possible. Those interested in participating should send a 400-word article, a mug shot of its author to Managing Editor Kevin Kane at kevin@youarecurrent.com.

Transforming a master bath from 1990 to contemporary COMMENTARY By Larry Greene ORIGINAL MASTER BATH: This home was built in 1990 in the Springmill Crossing Subdivision on the west side of Carmel. The master bath was the second bathroom of two to get remodeled. The homeowner noted “We decided to remodel the master bathroom mainly because it was old and outdated. We didn’t like the carpet in the bathroom. We needed a bigger shower. It just needed to be updated.” The homeowners weren’t fond of the large garden tub. “We had a large cultured-marble jetted tub in the master bath. When the kids were little, it was perfect. But our children are now 28 and 24.” FAVORITE FEATURES: When asked what they like most about their new bathroom, their reply was “Everything”. They added, “We like the big shower, the square-shaped vessel sinks, the tiled floor and the enlarged shower. We have heated floors, too. It’s such a change from what we had before. It feels like a spa in there now. The rain showerhead feels great. We have great water pressure too.” TUB & SHOWER DETAILS: The old tub and shower areas were totally gutted and new framing for the new tub decking, shower and shower

30 | November 15, 2011

Before storage niches was installed. A new Kohler 60x32 Archer drop in air tub was installed with a Delta Vero brushed nickel tub filler. The new shower includes a combined stationary/ handheld Delta faucet with a diverter and Delta brushed nickel ceiling-mounted square rain head faucet. The shower area was finished off

After with a 3/8” heavy glass frameless enclosure with brushed nickel hardware. FINAL RESULT: The homeowner commented, “Our kids came home to see the new remodeled bathroom and they think it looks like a hotel bathroom.”

DISPATCHES » Tinsel and Tails – The Humane Society for Hamilton County will host its sixth annual Tinsel and Tails Holiday Petacular on Thursday, 6 p.m., at the Ritz Charles in Carmel. Tinsel and Tails is one of the Humane Society’s largest fundraisers of the year, and funds raised will help cover the cost of the thousands of abandoned, unwanted, injured and sick animals that come to the HSHC every year. Tickets are $75 per individual, $300 per half table of four or $600 for a full table. To order tickets or for more information, go to www. TinselandTails.com, or call Jennifer Judd at 219-3324. » Dry versus canned dog food – Dry dog food costs less per serving than semimoist or canned foods and its nutrients are more concentrated, meaning you’ll need to feed less. But canned food might be better for dogs with urinary tract problems because of its higher moisture content. Canned foods also allow feeding a greater volume of food for the same amount of calories, which may help if your dog is overweight. Some dry foods are designed to help clean the teeth during chewing, but dogs with severe dental problems may do better on a moist food. Canned foods tend to be higher in fat and protein, with fewer carbohydrates, and dry foods will always contain some starch. -www.pawnation.com

New pet owner tips

COMMENTARY By John Mikesell Arm yourself with these practical pet care tips: Consider the commitment - Think about what you are getting yourself into before getting a pet. This is a long-term commitment. Pets are 100 percent dependent on you to provide a healthy and happy life for them. Ask yourself if they fit in your current lifestyle. What changes or sacrifices are you willing to make to properly care for them? There is also a financial responsibility to keeping your pets healthy and veterinary bills aren’t cheap. Pet proof your home - Owners should take pre-emptive measures. Move household chemicals, medications, plants and decora-

tive pieces to hard-to-reach locations. Keep your shoes tucked away from puppy teeth and incorporate scratching posts in your home for cats. Excerise preparedness - Microchip your pets, obtain updated identification tags and create an emergency plan.Make a list of emergency phone numbers and keep a pet kit in a waterproof container. Have a high quality probiotic on hand. They are great for digestive problems bound to happen. Stress from being in a new home can cause diarrhea and probiotics work great for it. Spay and neuter your pets It is better for your pet’s health. Unspayed females can suffer from a uterus infection and mammary tumors. Males can develop testicular prostate inflammation, infections or cancer.

Implement a routine - Keep the first few days of excitement for a new pet parent to a minimum. Practice early socialization - The critical socialization period for puppies lasts from about three to 12 weeks of age. Kittens are most receptive to socialization between the ages of two and seven weeks. I suggest leaving your puppy with its mother for at least eight weeks. Provide a healthy diet - Don’t underestimate the importance of good nutrition. Contol your pet’s food intake. Obesty in pets is just has bad for pets as it is for humans. Focus on health - Find a like-minded veternarian. A healthy pet is a happy pet. Check with your local pet store professional for tips on food and treats for your dogs and cats. John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at john.mikesell@att.net.

Clearing up a problem COMMENTARY By Dick Wolfsie A dermatologist in Southern California may avoid jail time by the skin of his teeth. He has been marketing a $1.99 app for smart phones that emits both a bluish and reddish light, which he claims will cure acne. Dr. Smith has sold about 20,000 of these. Now, ironically, he has a blotch on his once-unblemished medical record. Most of the experts agree the lights can’t hurt you, but if a kid is holding his Blackberry against his pimply nose while driving, he’s likely to back the car into a mailbox. No instructions are provided with the app, so one of the difficulties is knowing where to hold the device for treatment. Some of Dr. Smith’s accomplices, I mean associates, are thinking of adding a GPS, a Global Pimple Searcher, to zero in on facial imperfections. Doctors at Baylor University are upset about the apparent scam: “There should be more studies.” Doc, here’s one for you: Nine out of 10 adolescents with zits will believe anything you tell them if they think it will clear up their face. That is why I spent most of the ninth grade with lemon wedges and a heating pad on my fore-

head. Another researcher was equally concerned, noting: “I am worried about the teenager with open sores, because bacteria on the phone could lead to a minor skin infection.” Hey, I was just an American Lit major, but this is the last thing in the world a 14-year-old is worried about. The app emits 660 nanometers of light, which anyone with a post-doctoral degree in laser science knows can’t hold a candle to what a good glob of Clearasil can do. If you are one of those people who paid for this cyber rip-off, it still might not be a bad idea to rub the smart phone across your forehead. Maybe the smart part will rub off. Whether Dr. Smith can avoid prison is still in question, but he maintains he’ll take his punishment like a man. Whenever he’s asked by the media about doing time in the slammer, he’s directed by his PR people to say: “Breaking out is not an option.”

Nine out of 10 adolescents with zits will believe anything you tell them if they think it will clear up their face.
