Guardsmen learn 18th-century skills at Conner Prairie By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com

Cpt. Stephen Spencer

Indiana National Guardsmen from the 5-19th Agribusiness Development Team spent last week learning blacksmithing techniques at Conner Prairie Interactive History Park. The crash course in metallurgy, toolmaking and blacksmith shop set up was a first for the Guard team, which is tasked with training Afghani citizens in Khost Province in agriculture, irrigation, animal husbandry and pest management. “If you look at how agriculture is done in Afghanistan, it’s very much like 18th century America,” said Maj. Greg Motz. “It’s all done by hand tools.” Training Afghani farmers in both agricultural and blacksmithing skills is important, Motz said, because it eases

their reliance on U.S. support and their dependency upon food merchants. “Everything we do, we want to put an Afghan face on,” said Motz. “We’ve given them too many fishes, and no one has taught them to fish.” Training the guardsmen has been a rare chance to teach 18th century skills to people who’ll use them today in the 21st century, said Nathan Allen, manager of historical trades for the museum. “It’s been a unique challenge, because in the field these, guys are going to have to scrounge and salvage tools to set up shop,” Allen said. The 5-19th Agribusiness Development Team, headquartered out of Camp Atterbury near Edinburgh, will deploy to Afghanistan in the spring. More information about the Agribusiness Team can be found online at www.in.ng.mil.

Former Primrose employee arrested for battery

RESIST CONFORMITY.

By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com

Investigators with the Fishers Police Dept. arrested a former day care employee Monday on charges of battery on a 3-year-old student. The investigation, which police said began in December, stemmed from a report to the Dept. of Child Services regarding an alleged incident of child abuse by an employee of the Primrose School of Gray Eagle, 12290 Olio Rd. in Fishers. After interviewing employees, parents and doctors, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Kristy M. Lopez, 30, of Indianapolis. Lopez was charged with battery, a Class D felony. She was placed into custody and transported to

IU Health gifts Fishers $225k for new ambulance By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com

In what Fishers officials are calling an “outstanding public-private partnership,” IU Health Saxony Hospital will provide funds, personnel and facilities for a new town ambulance. The agreement, finalized last month, will see IU Health making a one-time financial gift to the Fishers Fire Dept. of $225,000 to be used for the purchase of an ambulance and emergency medical equipment. The ambulance will be based and operated from an EMS station on the IU Health Saxony campus. The hospital will also provide a physician to serve as the medical director for the FFD EMS advanced life support program. “This helps to defer community cost while providing an outstanding level of service,” said Fishers Town Councilor Stuart Easley.

According to FFD Chief Steve Orusa, a significant number of the department’s runs are medically related. “The opportunity we saw was to position an ambulance at the hospital that could give us quicker response and coverage to that part of the town,” Orusa said. In return for its contributions, the Town of Fishers agrees to recognize IU Health in “appropriate, mutually agreeable contexts,” which could include utilizing the IU Health logo on FFD’s EMS vehicles, among other items.

Parenting

Does this column make me look fat? Commentary by Susan Bryant

Sometimes I want to give every young girl I see a big hug and reassure her she looks absolutely fine just the way she is. It’s not easy being a girl now. It probably never was, but the pressure to be thin and achieve some idealized standard of beauty weighs heavier on girls now than ever before. From all angles, girls get the message their perfectly healthy, strong, normally developing bodies aren’t good enough. According to the National Institute on Media and the Family, a survey of 9- and 10-year-old girls indicated 40 percent have already tried to lose weight. By age 13, 53 percent of American girls are unhappy with their bodies. By age 17, this rate increases to 78 percent. Who’s to blame? The media Is it possible to get through the checkout aisle at the grocery store without nearly every magazine telling you how to lose weight, look sexier and get a hot guy? Are TV shows and commercials any better? At a time when the self-esteem of young girls is most vulnerable, our culture encourages them only to see their “imperfections.” Peers Accepting yourself is tough when no one else seems to be doing it. Recent research on how peers influence body image discovered regular conversations among high school girls focused on appearance, dieting and weight monitoring (source: “Sage Journals, Feminism and Psychology”). Girls are harsh critics with each other and themselves. Mothers Although the media and peers have a significant influence on how girls view their body, their own mothers play a huge role as well. In the article, “Helping Girls with Body Image,” researchers on the subject note, “Girls take to heart what their mothers say about bodies: their own, their daughters, those of strangers and celebrities. They notice when their mothers exercise obsessively, diet constantly or make derogatory comments about their own appearance. That should come as no surprise, as mothers are a girl’s first and, often, most influential role model.” What do we do with all this information? It’s unrealistic to think we can shield our daughters from every negative influence regarding their body image. As with most parenting issues, however, the messages we send our kids consistently are the ones they will absorb the most. Girls need to know their bodies are beautiful, even if they don’t fit into their skinny jeans. Of course, they’ll only believe this if we do.

Carl Brizzi talks Charlie White verdict, next steps By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com

A guilty verdict on six of seven felony counts against Charlie White has left the office of the Indiana Secretary of State in flux, and many speculating as to what twists may yet come in an already long, convoluted case. In the wake of the verdict, Current spoke with White’s White criminal defense attorney, Carl Brizzi, to get his reaction and find out what comes next. Is there a next step at this point? Where do you, does Charlie, go from here? Brizzi: “What’s next is … we’ve got a sentencing hearBrizzi ing coming up in a couple of weeks (Feb. 23). The verdict is the verdict, and so now we’ve got to mitigate the consequences of the verdict. We’re definitely going to appeal. We think there were very appealable issues in this trial, so I don’t think it’s speculation to be saying he’s pursuing an appeal.” People still seem to be throwing around the possibility Charlie could be reinstated if all six felony counts were reduced to misdemeanors. Is that something you’re even aiming for at this point, or have you shifted into damage control mode? Brizzi: “We’re definitely in damage control mode. Whether he’s reinstated as secretary of state is not something I’m focused on. He has other attorneys focused on the civil aspect of this. What people have to bear in mind is, he was literally charged with four different felonies for casting one vote. I’m not really sure if that’s been reported. I mean … four felonies for one vote seems a bit extreme.” You made the decision not to offer a defense at the trial, saying the prosecution didn’t have enough evidence to prove there was a crime committed. Do you still feel that was the right move? Brizzi: “What do you want me to do? You can’t go back and second-guess any of the decisions made during the trial. No one except for

THE FACTS At 2:30 a.m. Feb. 5, a Hamilton County jury returned its verdict: guilty on three counts of voter fraud, two counts of perjury and one count of theft. White was acquitted on a charge of fraud against a financial institution. He could face six months to three years in prison for each count. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels moved quickly to appoint an interim replacement for White, selecting Jerry Bonnet, chief deputy for the Secretary of State. “This is an exceptionally busy time in the Secretary of State’s office as signatures for president, U.S. senate and governor are being certified this month,” Daniels said in a press release. White is expected to appeal for the charges, all class-D felonies, to be reduced to misdemeanors. A copy of the appointment letter may be found at www.in.gov/gov/files/Press /020412letter.pdf. This story will be updated as more information becomes available. me, Charlie and the people closest to him know what that evidence is and the potential for it to not be favorable. I lived this case for months and months and months and months, and we made the decisions we made. We’re never going to be able to explain to anyone with any satisfaction why those decisions were made.” Did the verdict come as a surprise? Brizzi: “I don’t even know how to answer that. I’m not here to take issue with what the jury did, because each of us has a role in the criminal justice system. To put it in context, and certainly to put it in context of moving forward and how this affects a fellow Hoosier’s life who has a family and children to provide for, I think that needs to be taken into account.” Charlie could face up to 18 years for a maximum sentence. Do you expect him to see any jail time? Brizzi: “Can he potentially face jail time? Yes, absolutely. Do I expect it? I don’t expect or not expect anything at this point. I certainly don’t take anything for granted.”

Education

Reforming childhood Commentary by Freedom Kolb

Reform by nature is an improvement, a correction. Indeed, reform is almost the American way with constant pressure for faster, better, more. It is not surprising this approach has turned our achievement-oriented culture loose on early childhood education. After all, everyone wants what is best for their kids. But is it true improvement, and does it work? Many studies say no – or at least – not so fast. In the relentless enthusiasm to advance the American education system, new policies often ignore what we know about child development. Children need to play. Children recharge through play. Children learn through play. Approximately half of the states mandate standardized testing beginning in kindergarten, although research indicating students younger than age 8 are typically unreliable test takers. In fact, fine motor skills needed to accurately wield a pencil are often just developing at that age. The high pressure, performance-based focus on math and reading can have a devastating effect on other areas of curriculum including science, social studies, recess, music and art – areas important to student engagement. Preliminary studies have also demonstrated a link between lack of free play and aggressive behavior and expulsion rates. Most importantly, conclusive childhood development research also tells us young people

acquire and process information through selfdirected activities inspired by natural curiosity. Free play allows the brain an opportunity to roam and stimulates creative thinking. Selfdirected play can also promote problem solving, social dynamics, independence and physical dexterity in a way prescriptive lessons cannot. The Fishers community is fortunate Hamilton Southeastern teachers support the whole child. In conjunction with a robust academic curriculum, most kindergarten classrooms are outfitted with reading rugs and play kitchens. I was thrilled to volunteer last week and spy elementary students dripping paint on coffee filters and watching the colors bleed. As parents, we can still do more. Stay informed. Web sites like the Alliance for Childhood (www.allianceforchildhood.org) offer a wealth of research-based studies. Parents need to actively provide opportunity for free play. Replace the TV, Wii, Nintendo DS and the computer with art supplies, LEGOs, dolls and blocks. Try not to stifle children’s creativity. The child permitted to think outside the box today will grow into the scientists, inventors and reformers of tomorrow.

Fishers students to play softball in Taiwan By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com

Mykala Spillman, 15, a freshman at Fishers High School, and Sidney Morgan, 17, a junior at Hamilton Southeastern High School, were invited to play as part of Team Morgan and Spillman SoftballOne in the Nantou International Softball Tournament in Taiwan. SoftballOne, founded by 2008 Taiwan Olympic Softball Offensive Coach Cara Johnson-Hirsch, draws players from across Indiana. “It hasn’t really hit me yet,” said Morgan. “My mom was actually born in Taiwan, so I’m going to see family there.” “I’m just worried about keeping up with all the schoolwork I’ll be missing, and at the same time, keeping up with what’s happening,” added Spillman. Team SoftballOne will compete against amateur teams from Taiwan, Japan and China. For more information about the team, visit www.softballone.com.

In spirit

Endless search for perfection Spirituality by Mike Colaw

A number of years ago, a lady walked into my office looking for some marriage advice. She was in the process of ending her fourth marriage, and wanted a little counsel about how to help her child adapt to the change. It didn’t take long to discover she was on a journey to find love, and her child was a discouraged passenger. I began to pry a bit and discovered this journey had led her into different types of relationships with positive and negative qualities. Some spouses may have been better at tasks, highly reliable and made great money, others a little more relational and loved to have fun. In the conversation, as she opened up her heart, it became really clear she wanted the best of each experience all wrapped up in one man! I finally had to tell her that man doesn’t exist. There is no person who is totally reliable, great at tasks, yet free-spirited and spontaneous. Her journey to find perfection left her alone, and now there was a child. This way of looking at life bleeds into all kinds of other areas. We quit one job because we don’t like the boss, the next job because it doesn’t pay enough and quit yet again because it just doesn’t feel right. From marriage to work, even in church selection, we play the perfection game, wanting all of our favorite attributes rolled

into one package for our emotional consumption. The problem is our primary guide is our pleasure, and pleasure is an appetite never fully satisfied. We end up all alone in our passion for perfection, constantly comparing the best of everything we have with the possibility of something better. We become slaves to the quest for pleasure and bitter at anything that seems to stand in the way. The Bible puts it this way: “For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another” (Titus 3:3 – English Standard Version). What if there was another way? Rick Warren makes a great statement. “The people who succeed in life are the people who are willing to do what they don’t feel like doing. They are not mastered by their moods, they are mastered by the Master.” So here is something to think about. What masters you? Do me a favor. Find a Bible and read Titus 2:4-7. You will find the pursuit of Christ can bring great freedom. Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church. You may e-mail him at justthink@ luke117.com.

Cover Story

The Hamilton County Alliance will run out of money this year, unless the county steps in to help

Westfield – Westfield, according to Mayor Andy Cook, has very rarely been in a position to benefit from the efforts of the Alliance. While neighboring municipalities have shovel-ready sites primed for economic development, Westfield is playing catch-up. “We’re really looking at what needs to be done … Obviously, the alliance needs funding,” he said. “Our whole concentration over here politically is economic development, so whatever assistance we can have in bringing commercial tax base to the city, that’s what we need to have happen.” Carmel – “The Hamilton County Alliance provides a valuable service to Carmel and Hamilton County and we save money by having one office serve the entire county,” said Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard.

Since the housing market crash of 2008, an annual $120,000 deficit in the Hamilton County Alliance’s budget has been supported by a “rainy day” fund. By the end of the year those funds are projected to run out – potentially meaning insolvency for the countywide economic development organization. HCA President Jeff Burt and Chairman Ron Brumbarger are asking the county, and the cities and towns therein, to prevent that. Formed in 1992 as a public-private partnership, the HCA is the “only body in Hamilton County tasked by charter to promote economic vitality,” according to Brumbarger. The public portion of the organization’s $550,000 annual budget comes from a $50 Economic Development Support Fee (EDSF) dedicated to the HCA for every plat approved in the county, and from additional grants to the HCA from each of the eight communities in the county: Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Sheridan, Arcadia, Atlanta and Cicero. Although the HCA’s Web site bills itself as funded by 39 percent public, 61 percent private dollars, Burt said that private dollars now make up only 25 percent of the annual budget. Between 1994-2008, the EDSF averaged $150,000 in revenue for the HCA. Since 2008, Burt said that number has dropped to $38,000 to $40,000 annually in response to the housing market slump. The HCA is asking for an additional $105,000 this year – half from the county and half from the founding communities – to make up the deficit. “Could we cut another $105,000?” said Burt. “Sure, I think we could. But we’ve got to provide a service to the community for their support. You’re talking about cutting the muscle at that point.” In its 20 years of existence, HCA has assisted 292 businesses, had 12,546 job commitments, awarded 385 grants for $15,862,755, generated $10,158,719 in estimated property tax support, and provided Hamilton County with $996,968,196 in total capital investment. The town of Fishers has been a major source of revenue for the HCA over the past 20 years – contributing an estimated $600,000 in grants and $900,000 from EDSF plat fees; the town’s explosive growth over the last two decades making it the number one EDSF contributor at 34.1 percent of total collected (Carmel ranked second at 22 percent). Yet, town officials say they have a hard time quantifying what benefit Fishers has received from nearly $1.5 million in direct or indirect financial support to the organization, despite HCA reports claiming a $5.08 per dollar return-on-investment rate for the town. “To me, the numbers they were giving us were skewed,” said Town Council President Scott Faultless. “In terms of return on investment, I think ours is substantially lower." Councilor Stuart Easley said the HCA was giving disproportionate benefit and attention to certain communities, namely Carmel, considering the county-wide funding it receives. “They’re saying, ‘What’s good for Carmel is good for Hamilton County,’” Easley said. Officials also criticized a perceived failure to keep up with the times. 10 | February 21, 2012

“What they haven’t done is adapt well,” said Tim Gropp, asst. director of economic development. “They haven’t changed in 20 years. This is the last year of funding, and so to be saying now they need to be adapting to their communities, I think it’s too late.” However, town officials ultimately seemed to decide they weren’t quite ready to let the organization fall by the wayside, especially amidst fears that the Indy Partnership, the organization tasked with economic development for the nine “donut counties” around Indianapolis, may cease to exist or see a reduced role as part of a merger with another development organization. “The Indy Partnership and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) have been the biggest source of (business) leads over the past few years,” Faultless said. “If the Indy Partnership is going away, that’s the biggest threat to me. And that’s your biggest selling point. We need someone who is selling the region – specifically Hamilton County.” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and Economic Development Dept. Director Judi Johnson are also concerned about the future of the Indy Partnership – saying that counties will need to step up their own attraction marketing. “Where do we fit in (if the partnership moves under the Indiana Chamber of Commerce or is dropped for budget issues)?” said Ditslear. “All the more reason we need the Alliance in Hamilton County. It’s a value to us locally.” Johnson, who serves on the HCA Board as the Noblesville repre-

sentative, said having a regional economic development organization is unique in Indiana. “We have four vibrant, growing, fiscally well-off cities in Hamilton County who all have excellent economic development departments,” she said. “We have to have an organization that brings everyone on the team together.” Potential economic development projects are received at the state level first and then filter down to regions which alert individual communities. “If we don’t have the Alliance, who do we have that recommends the out-of-state and global inquiries?” Johnson said. “The alliance is a conduit for each community to reach the state level.” Through community meetings and HCA Board discussions, the new HCA is centered on four strategic issues: marketing, technology applications to economic development, community/county competitiveness, and HCA as a “regional” economic development group. “Risk needs to be minimized,” said Johnson. “Our mission to promote the county’s economic health remains the same but its strategic activities are changing.” “We think a lot of the Alliance. It’s done a great job for the city of Noblesville,” he said, adding that the city spends $25,000 annually on alliance fees. “We’re pleased with them and think they are necessary. Ditslear said the city doesn’t expect the Alliance to recommend Noblesville to a business because it represents the county. “They are extremely fair and equal. It’s not always landing projects, its getting our name out there with projects and what we have to offer,” he said. “We’ll hold our own versus Carmel and Fishers.

Editorial Here and there, it’s about accountability

Creationism It is our position Senate Bill 89, allowing creationism to be taught alongside evolution in public schools, is a waste of taxpayer money. In the past, several states have attempted to pass legislation requiring the teaching of religious creationism in science classes. The Supreme Court already ruled on this very issue in 1987. The bill’s sponsor, Dennis Kruse, has acknowledged the bill may be problematic, but in his arrogance, he is confident the Supreme Court will reverse itself. If Indiana is forced to challenge this backward-thinking legislation through various appeals and federal courts, it could cost the taxpayers millions of dollars. What is the real purpose of this bill? Perhaps it is a sincere – if misguided – effort to treat Biblical religion as if it were science. Perhaps it is a smoke screen for Mr. Kruse’s next reelection campaign, so he can say to the voters, “Well, I tried!” Whatever his motives, we urge the House to reject this bill, and if they do not, then we strongly recommend Gov. Mitch Daniels veto it. If Indiana parents want their children to be taught creationism, we suggest they take advantage of the taxpayer-funded voucher system and send them to parochial school.

Network solutions Commentary by Terry Anker

Sometimes it seems like Greta Garbo may have had it right when she said, “I want to be alone.” But that feeling seldom lasts long, and we miss the company of friends and family. Even Garbo adjusted her most famous utterance to, “I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be left alone.’ There is all the difference.” She had a point. As much as we need each other, don’t we also crave a little space? If the paradox of social interaction is the ultimate fixture of the human condition, then networking is its calling card. Encarta defines it in two ways: 1. the act of linking computers so that they can share info or access a central hub; and 2. the process or practice of building up or maintaining informal relationships that can lead to job or business advantage. Somehow, the first definition makes more sense to me than the later. When we interconnect to build our communities, our

knowledge or our interconnectedness, how can it be a bad thing? Yet, when we use the network for only our own advantage, doesn’t the network ultimately only become folks looking for a hand and no one offering to give one? If we constantly harvest and never plant, how long will we eat? Why don’t we say good things about good people, whether it’s a direct benefit to us or not? Folks should know if Mike is a solid dude (or not). Recently, I told Frank that Mike was top shelf. Frank left the room only to return moments later. He said, “Actually, I know Mike – we had lunch last week and he said good things about you, too.” Now there is a network that exchanges even as it harvests. It was so easy, and it meant so much.

(Steve has given Brian the day off this week. It’s a reward for his covering for Steve, who was out of the office last week … with good reason.) We have talked in this space about accountability being our watchword for 2012. I’ve been living it these last 25 years, and I certainly saw examples last week that mirror what we encounter in our community. Let me explain: First, my bride and I spent seven days in Key West celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Yes, a good time was had by all and refreshments were served. For those who know me by my rapier-like wit, I’m not always that way. Sometimes I reflect, and those reflections give rise to the aforementioned parallels. And so, what Sally and I have experienced in a quarter century actually, in part, is about accountability. That through-thick-and-thin stuff is real, folks, and (wait for it … here comes the parallel) in Key West, it was evident in the civil-service sector. The southernmost city proved itself to be a model of organization and accountability. Folks descend on the city to get away from the humdrum, and some of them, shall we say, overly enjoy themselves. But, as is the case here, local government workers do their thing in Key West to keep everything sparkling. Sidewalks are power-washed each morning, trash cans – seemingly one every 3 feet – are emptied before the sun comes up, and you won’t find so much as a stray gum wrapper on the streets. Funny, isn’t it, that cleanliness in paradise reminded us of home? Hamilton County is a shining example (in most areas) of cleanliness. As other visitors to Key West marveled at “how clean this is,” we proudly told them, “That’s how it is back home.” We’re quick to rip government for inefficiency, but we have zero beefs when it comes to keeping the place we call home in good shape.

Laughs

To call or not to call

Humor by Danielle Wilson

Life’s about to get interesting when a conversations starts with, “I debated whether or not to call you, but figured if I had kids, I’d want to know.” This was how a phone call began the other night, and as soon as I heard those words, my heart sank. Ugh. What the hoo-hah did my child do now? As parents, we’ve probably all been in this situation, either as the bearer or the receiver of the bad news. I recently overheard one of my kids’ friends direct two F-bombs at my 10-yearold son while they were playing Xbox in our basement (we had not yet installed my superawesome sound barrier birthday door), and, to put it simply, Momma don’t play that. I politely sent the young man home, but wavered over whether I should call the mother. In the end, I decided it wasn’t that big of deal and gave him a reprieve. He had, after all, looked sufficiently embarrassed when he apologized. So, I recognize when a parent feels strongly enough to actually pick up the phone and rat; my child probably deserves it. But that doesn’t make the accusations any easier to hear. With this latest incident, my stomach immediately turned upside down as I prepared for the onslaught of alleged crimes, which amounted to my son being very disrespectful to the instructor of an extracurricular class.

Winter wonderland … or not

I certainly did not enjoy the phone call – no parent wants to hear their kid is behaving like an ass – but in all honesty, I did appreciate it. My husband and I cannot be, nor want to be, with our children 24/7, and like all kids, they’re going to make mistakes. But it’s far better they get caught and punished for the small stuff now while they’re still malleable, rather than have their misdeeds ignored until they’ve become adult dillholes firmly ensconced in their dillhole ways. And there is a saving grace to receiving one of these uncomfortable calls: You get to legitimately channel all of your disappointment and embarrassment into creating the perfect punishment. Because when the shameful tears fall, as they inevitably do, we know we’ve done our job as parents. In summary, if you catch a kid doing something wrong and feel the parent should (or would want to) know, go ahead and narc. They’ll thank you for it later. If you’re the one with the brat child, take consolation in the fact confiscating a cell phone can bring considerable joy. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist.

Humor by Mike Redmond

So far, I have not been too impressed by the weather this winter. Actually, it’s kind of difficult even to call it winter. Winter, to me, means subzero days, rock ice, snowdrifts, blizzards – none of which have made an appearance as of yet. At the best, we’re having either an extended late fall or an extra early spring. Or maybe it’s a new season, a combination of the two: Call it fang. Or sprall. Anyway, I don’t like it. I like my seasons seasonal. I like them clear and distinct. I want hot summers, warm springs, cool falls and cold winters. I want to see and feel the changes as they happen. Oh, we’ve had the occasional spritzes and sprinkles, a few extra cold days, but nothing people are going to remember. And what’s the fun in that? Half the point of having winter storms is so you can talk about them at family reunions 20 years down the road. Winter is supposed to supply us with great material with which to lie to our children. But this is not to be this year. At least, not yet. The reason, I have learned, is something called arctic oscillation, which affects the pattern of the jet stream. In essence, it has been all whopper-jawed this year, zooming around the earth in a weird pattern that keeps us

warm while throwing the other side of the world in the deep freeze, which is why my daffodils are already blooming, while over in Europe, they’ve been digging out of 6-foot drifts. Now, I am sure there are lots of people who think I am crazy. In fact, I recently had a chat with such a person, a high school classmate who moved to Florida for one reason only: to get away from winter. He told me he had to look at the calendar to know what season it is. And he said this as if it were a good thing. In fact, it’s dangerous to your mental health. As proof, we need only to watch a few episodes of “The Jerry Springer Show,” with all those nutbars parading their lunacy across the stage. You know where most of them come from? Florida. No thanks. If we must have drama, I’ll take the kind that comes from a weather event, specifically a blizzard. Or I would take that kind, if this winter would produce one. Then again, it’s only February. We still have plenty of season left. In the meantime, enjoy the sprall. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline.com or P.O.

Improve despite busy schedule Wellness by Jared Anderson

It seems no matter where we look, people are sick, tired and out of shape. Our busy lifestyles keep us running at the speed of light, and taking time for ourselves just doesn’t seem possible. Constantly, we are tempted with fast-food billboards and radio ads luring us into compromising our diets. The busyness of the day seems to keep us up at night, making everything even worse due to lack of sleep. So what do we do? How do we keep ourselves in the shape of our lives and still manage the busyness? The answer lies in putting your boxing gloves on against your lifestyle. Let’s face it, we are all busy and put off things we have intentions of doing. Sometimes, we have to fight our schedules and agendas and take a step back to organize our life in a manner that can still promote a healthy lifestyle. If it was a perfect world, we would all get up and stretch, do yoga, eat breakfast then head out to work. After work, we would go to the gym, work out for an hour and drive home to have a warm, home-cooked meal full of veggies and leafy greens. Striving to live like this is definitely a great idea, however, making this Love your Heart – Throughout the month of February, Riverview will be offering a $99 Love your Heart comprehensive screening. The package includes a CT calcium heart scan, baseline electrocardiogram, vascular screening (peripheral artery disease, carotid and abdominal aortic aneurysm), consultation with a cardiac nurse and a coupon for a $15 blood chemistry profile. Those having a comprehensive screening are asked to fast 12 hours prior to your appointment. To schedule a screening, call 776-7247.

happen every week is not always feasible. When busy, I recommend clients to still take personal time. For instance, if you struggle keeping commitments to working out, hire a trainer or find a workout partner. If you’re stressed, but have no time to do yoga, listen to a meditation or nature CD on the way to or from work. Occasionally, treat yourself to a massage when feeling the stress of a deadline, or the kids are getting on your nerves. If time is an issue for eating healthy, pick a day you plan out some quick, 10-minute meals for those weeks when a sit-down meal just isn’t going to happen. Let’s face it, without our health, nothing else matters quite as much. For the next month, commit yourself to a minimum of once per week doing something healthy for yourself. After a few weeks, try stepping it up a notch or two. During the course of a year, you will find you are feeling better and able to do more for yourself than you could ever imagine.

Bring back the push-up – Guys tend to abandon the push-up for the bench press sometime at puberty. But the once-forgotten push-up has recently muscled its way back to the top of the exercise universe. Why? Because it not only builds a powerful appearance to your physique, but also develops the support system behind that musculature. “They're also a great way to judge how strong you are relative to your body weight," says Martin Rooney, author of “Ultimate Warrior Workouts.” Test yourself by doing as many push-ups as you can in three minutes. Rest whenever you want, but keep the clock running the whole time. Fifty-five is average, but if you can't reach 75 – what strength coaches consider “good” – then you need to either gain strength or lose weight. -www.menshealth.com

Move the needle: Resistance Business by CJ McClanahan

What drives you crazy? It turns out I wince every time I hear someone make an excuse for not getting something accomplished. The reason I find excuses so frustrating is after coaching hundreds of executives, I am 100 percent certain they are the main reason people struggle to achieve their goals. Intellectually speaking, most of the business challenges I address are easy to fix. Sales are slow? Increase your prospecting. Employees aren’t doing their jobs? Reset expectations and hold them accountable. Customers don’t come back often enough? Ask them to return. It’s not rocket science. Unfortunately, most people know what to do, they just don’t enjoy the behavior required to change, and thus make an excuse to remain the same. This message was inspired by a book I recently finished, “The War of Art,” by Steven Pressfield. He argues within everyone, there is a force called “resistance” determined to keep you from any meaningful achievement. He points out this resistance “presents us with a series of plausible, rational justifications for why we shouldn’t do our work.” I believe this resistance is real, and see it most often when someone tells me they didn’t accom-

plish a task because they “ran out of time.” That’s nonsense. Time is the great equalizer. We all have 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. It’s impossible to run out of time. When you allow yourself to use that excuse, what you’re really saying is you allowed something else to take the place of the activity you didn’t accomplish. You don’t have a time problem; you have a prioritization problem. There’s only one way to fix this issue. Get crystal clear about what’s really important in your life, and keep in mind not everything can be important. You can’t put in the most hours at the office and spend quality time with your family. Something’s got to give. In other words, you’re going to have to learn to say “no” and get comfortable with the consequences. I will promise you one thing for certain; clarity around your priorities will cut your stress level in half. In addition, it will bring more joy and contentment to the people and experiences really important. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute. “Move the needle” is a regular column by author, speaker and trainer, CJ McClanahan. To learn more about CJ, please visit www.goreachmore.com or call 576-8492.

Vulnerable exchange-traded funds iShares Barclays 20 Year Treasury Fund (TLT) – In August and September, when interest rates plunged and traders fled to the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds, the run-up from the iShares Barclays 20 Year Treasury Bond Fund came as no surprise. TLT advanced 27 percent in a little more than two months – a huge move for a bond fund. There’s a problem with seeing that kind of move right here and now, however. Interest rates already were rock-bottom based on some serious economic and currency worries before the rally. For traders to think things could be even more alarming come August may have been a little unrealistic in retrospect. Nevertheless, the TLT popped and is very vulnerable to a dip now. In fact, that dip might already have started now the economy – and Europe in particular – seems to be on firmer footing. The 20-day moving average has decreased below the 50- and 100-day moving average lines, and all three are pointed lower now.

Select Sector Technology SPDR (XLK) – Since the Dec. 19 market bottom, the technology sector – represented by the Select Sector Technology SPDR – is the market’s third-best performer, with a 16.4 percent gain. Since the middle of January, it’s the top performer, with a 10 percent advance. Yes, it’s a fun ride while it lasts, but those big moves don’t come without a price. That price is more than the fund’s fair share of potential profit-taking. Bear in mind such a pullback would be an intermediate-term phenomenon at best, and probably closer to a short-term correction. Why? Despite plenty of pessimism, technology stocks just posted their most profitable quarter ever. And it’s one of the few groups expected to hit record-earning levels by the end of the year. Better still, the sector as a whole remains near a record-low valuation of 14.85 times its trailing 12-month earnings. -www.investorplace.com

Last year, thanks to swift growth in China, Lenovo vaulted past Dell to the No. 2 position, and is now within sight of leader Hewlett-Packard. Lenovo sells one in three PCs in China, and has 14 percent of the market worldwide. That market share is growing. This year, Lenovo expects its PC shipments to grow two to three times faster than the global market, which the company forecasts will increase 3 percent to 5 percent. The company also makes tablets and smartphones. But more than 90 percent of the company's estimated $28.3 billion in revenue this year is expected to come from PCs. Lenovo's fiscal year ends in March. -www.barrons.com 14 | February 21, 2012

Design

Bigger is not always better Commentary by Sue Faulstich

Being a part of the design industry, I feel obligated to investigate each season’s new collection of trends. I am neither a trendsetter nor a trend follower. However, every now and then, a trend will come along which does intrigue me. Lately, I have noticed a lot of attention being paid to moderately-scaled residential dwellings, which are being constructed with better-quality materials. Because I have seen far too many enormous homes go up and then sit empty for long periods of time waiting to be furnished, I appreciate this particular trend in that it gives me a better chance of helping a client through every phase of building and furnishing a home. It must seem rather backward an interior designer is suggesting the scaling back of square footage. Sometimes, in an industry where “bigger” is synonymous with “better,” I would much rather see a smaller, wellplanned and fully-furnished dwelling. While reading an issue of ELLE DECOR magazine, I came across an article featuring actress Hilary Swank’s downtown Manhattan

apartment. The author wrote, “For Swank, a home needn’t be as extravagant as a dream.” This statement struck me in an unusual way. After reading the sentence two or three more times, I began to understand the story’s theme. The author was trying to subtly give the reader the sense that, even though the space is small-scale, it is well designed, and thus has a sense of grandeur. The design industry seems to ebb and flow with the economy, so it makes sense consumers are expecting more for their money when it comes to buying luxury items. While I’m rather certain Hilary Swank does have a large, lavish mansion somewhere, it was refreshing to read about someone who can appreciate a modest space filled with a combination of new and old luxurious furnishings, despite their slightly “more than modest” means.

Good shade garden plant – Try the jack-in-thepulpit in your shade garden. Its hooded, green flowers arise to reveal little Jack poking out against rusty-red markings on the inside of the "pulpit." If you're lucky, the flowers will set bright red clusters of berries in the fall for an extra season of interest. Name: Arisaema triphyllum; growing conditions: shade and moist, well-drained soil; size: up to 2 feet tall. -www.bhg.com

February gardening tips – 1. Want colorful salads this summer? Order seeds now for red iceberg lettuce, ruby Swiss chard and purple pod beans. 2. Plan some window boxes. Good choices for plants: zinnias, nasturtiums petunias, geraniums, begonia. Edible choices: cherry tomatoes, lettuce, kale and herbs. 3. Test the germination of last year’s surplus seeds before ordering new ones. Place 10 seeds between damp paper towels. Keep them consistently damp and in a dark place. Check germination rates to determine how many seeds to use for your real planting. -www.almanac.com Create a gingham backsplash – Fashioning a gingham pattern for a kitchen backsplash is easier than it might seem, and it's a simple way to bring color and pattern to a space dominated by white cabinets. To make the backsplash, buy small tiles in three different colors. Repeat a pattern of three colors in four squares: white next to a medium shade, over the same medium shade next to a darker shade. -www.marthastewart.com

Removal of wall allows new kitchen configuration Remodeling by Larry Greene

Original kitchen: This home located in the Foster Grove subdivision on the east side of Carmel was built in the mid-1980s. The owners had been thinking about remodeling the home for approximately 10 years, trying to decide if they were going to stay in the house or move. They ultimately decided they really liked their neighborhood and the improvements they already made to the exterior, so they chose to stay. Kitchen design choices: When thinking about making changes to their kitchen, the owners were unsure if they wanted to keep the same footprint and make cosmetic upgrades, or go for a full-space remodel. The old kitchen was expanded, the old living room is the new dining room and the old dining room was used for kitchen expansion. The homeowner commented, “Seeing the computer drawings – comparing keeping the same footprint to completely changing the kitchen – helped us decide which option to choose. The designer showed us how, for just a little more money, we could get a bigger bang for our buck.” Final result: The homeowner is thrilled with the result and stated, “We are very happy we made the decision to go with the new configura-

The kids like using the island for hanging out and snacks, so the new kitchen has brought the family back into the kitchen again. My favorite parts of the new kitchen are the expanded space, the newer appliances and the granite. The new lighting has made a big difference, too, adding a modern look and brightness.” Larry Greene is the president of Case Design/Remodeling, a full-service design/build firm serving Hamilton County.
