OUR VIEWS

It is our position that something needs to be done about the coyote infestation in Hamilton County. All the development in Hamilton County has caused coyotes to move into neighborhoods and caused the deaths of an alarming number of local pets. Whether it be to decrease the population or trap and relocate, we believe that someone needs to take initiative to see that this problem is handled. We understand that that this is not the coyotes being vicious. Rather, they are just trying to survive after being forced out of their natural habitats as a result of new developments. Nonetheless, we believe something needs to be done, whether it a government agency, or an outside organization to bring an end to the coyotes wondering our neighborhoods. While we would prefer that the coyotes be trapped and relocated to a location that is more suitable, such as somewhere in the wilderness, we believe the need to remove them from our neighborhoods is important enough that officials should pursue other options if necessary. With the warmer weather and longer days, we believe it’s time the coyote situation is dealt with. Hamilton County residents should not have to worry about their pets in their own yards.

Extra precautions

It is our position that we need to be aware of the increased threat of burglaries during the spring and summer. Weather is warmer now, and when people are mowing their lawns or working in their gardens, they leave their garage doors open more frequently, exposing their families to attack or theft. Cars are being vandalized or stolen; lawn equipment disappears; kitchens doors are unlocked, and burglars make off with whatever they can get their hands on once inside. There are too many instances in Hamilton County where burglars gained access through the carelessness of the homeowner. Not only are people being robbed by so-called professional thieves, “garage-hopping” is still prevalent among unsupervised teenagers. This is when teens, out of school on summer vacation, duck in and out of open and unoccupied garages to steal money or CDs from cars, key or vandalize the car’s exterior, or help themselves to beer or wine stored in an outdoor refrigerator. Let’s start keeping our garage doors closed while we work in our yards, lock our front doors when we go for an evening walk, and be mindful of strangers in our neighborhood. Burglars find enough ways to steal from us without our active cooperation.

FROM THE BACKSHOP What, exactly, is behind the curtain? The St. Petersburg State Orchestra scheduled to play The Palladium Wednesday, February 22, 2012, at 7:30 p.m., might not be exactly as advertised. Known also as “The Tschaikowski,” the orchestra, whose tour is handled by Columbia Artists Management, Inc., has been reported to be the subject of misleading marketing information. The New York Times published a front-page story last week about so-called “questionable” orchestras that crisscross the United States and other nations, playing concerts in a wide range of venues, including concert halls such as The Palladium, smaller theatres and even high school auditoriums. What caught our eye about the story is that its principal guest conductor, Stanislav Kochanovsky, told The Times he didn’t know the orchestra’s name. It and other orchestras are said to use “freelancers” and “truth-shading.” Columbia is alleged to have deployed “a pattern of misleading publicity photos, altered program biographies and last-minute (musician) substitutions.” This, folks, absolutely is not to be blamed on The Palladium. Apparently, according to the report, several orchestras are not exactly as they portend to be. For instance, the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra that played 50 towns last year mostly was made up of Bulgarians. This is not a commentary on the quality of the

The Palladium is rumored to be spending north of $60,000 for the St. Petersburg ensemble. Said Steven B. Libman, president and CEO of the center: “The New York Times recently reported on a dispute taking place between two orchestras, both based in St. Petersburg. We are fully aware of the matter. Rest assured that the “Tschaikowski” is a magnificent orchestra and we look forward to welcoming the group to the Palladium’s stage. In fact, the concert will feature world-renown pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. He would not be affiliated with the “Tschaikowski” if there were ever a true concern. His management company would not allow him to be associated with anything that wasn’t legitimate. … ”

No end in sight, just ironing COMMENTARY By Jordan Fischer The world, I’m assuming, didn’t end on Saturday. While I feel pretty confident in making this prediction, sitting here on a grey, Wednesday afternoon in May, I must admit, I have had moments of doubt. After all, there’s a billboard near my apartment on I-465 stating in bold letters that May 21 is “guaranteed” to be Judgment Day. In my experience, billboard predictions have a pretty high level of accuracy, especially when predicting where the nearest Steak ‘n Shake is. When those signs say next left, there’s a restaurant at that next turn nearly 100 percent of the time. It’s uncanny, really. I’d give the guy – that would be Harold Camping, president of Family Radio – a little more credit, but since he’s already struck out once on nailing down the apocalypse in 1994, I

have some skepticism. And, unlike the Mayans, Camping doesn’t have a questionable John Cusack movie backing up his theory. My money goes with Cusack every time. I’m even planning on ironing all my collared shirts on Saturday, which could possibly be my least favorite to-do (at least without a yard to mow). The thought process here is, if the world were actually ending, there’s a whole host of things I’d rather be doing – anything other than ironing, for example. I suppose if the world actually does end, I’ll at least have a nice, pressed shirt to go out in. And that’s something I think my mom can be proud of.

Dad was asleep at the desk and he couldn’t help, so I tried to remember how you do it.” Flashes of my 9-year old experimenting with our gas stove while Doo slept in a mint julepinduced coma tore through my sleep-deprived brain. “The first one didn’t turn out so good but this one I was able to scrape off the pan.” I took a hesitant bite, remembering to make “hmmmm” sounds as I swallowed a scoop of the still-clear egg whites.

spoon. A fork would not have been useful. Then Maddie piped in, “I tried to make coffee but it was taking way too long.” I took a sip. It was cold. “Luckily, we had some left over from the party!” Ah. That explains it. Minutes later, after consuming a small bite of the stale biscuit (also from the party), I walked arm -in-arm with my daughters downstairs. I had to keep reminding myself to smile and looked pleased even though all really wanted to do was go back to sleep. But when I got to the kitchen, all I could do was giggle. Corinne had tried to fry the eggs on a cookie sheet! And Maddie had simply put water in a pot and set it in the coffee maker. Indeed, that coffee would take a very long time to brew! So I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. My head and stomach hurt from exhaustion, and I have a terrible feeling that if I don’t get a nap soon, I won’t enjoy one second of my glorious plans. But I also want to dance with joy because I truly have some of the most precious, resourceful children on this earth.

COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson It’s Mother’s Day morning, and honestly, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Do you recall my itinerary for this most special of days? The first thing on the agenda was “sleep in.” But apparently no one in my family got that memo, so now I’m less than enthused about the rest of the day. Here’s what happened. Last night, we held our annual Kentucky Derby party. Guests left around 10 p.m., and I went to bed shortly thereafter. Around 1 a.m., I heard the unmistakable sounds of plates being loaded into the dishwasher, and though I was unhappy to be awake, I was thrilled that my husband was taking care of at least a portion of the mess. I fell back asleep maybe an hour later, and didn’t wake again until six. Doo was not in bed, apparently having crashed on the couch. I was still exhausted, so I snuggled back down under the covers, anticipating another two hours of peaceful slumber. The perfect Mother’s Day beginning! At 6:40 sharp, though, two short people burst into the room screaming, “Happy Mother’s Day!” I ripped off my mask and stared blearyeyed at my daughters, one of whom was carrying a tray laden with breakfast. “We made you your favorites!” I scooched up to a sitting position, still a bit incoherent, just as the tray was placed on my

Honoring a brother’s sacrifice Shelby and Justin Bowen carry on their brother Collin’s legacy in the Indiana Freedom Memorial

SFC Collin Bowen

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers The Indiana Freedom Memorial may not be in Hamilton County, but the handprints of generosity from county residents and businesses are visible nonetheless. Currently under construction in Marion’s Matter Park, the memorial is the result of years of work and determination by Shelby and Justin Bowen in honor of their brother, U.S. Army SFC Collin J. Bowen, who was injured and eventually died of wounds inflicted by an improvised explosive device while serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Collin J. Bowen was the eighth member of the armed forces from Grant County to be killed in action while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. “Collin was a special guy,” said Shelby Bowen. “He was beloved by his family, and by his fellow soldiers.”

“A soldier’s soldier”

“Collin joined the Army right out of high school, and he loved it,” said Shelby. “He was a dedicated serviceman. A lot of his Army buddies said he was a soldier’s soldier.” Collin was finishing his tour of duty in Afghanistan in January 2008 when his vehicle struck a roadside bomb, killing two soldiers and leaving Bowen with third-degree burns on more than 50 percent of his body. “He was actually packed and ready to head home when he was asked to go out on one last mission,” Shelby said. “But of course he went back out. That’s the kind of person Collin was.” Collin eventually was flown to the San Antonio Military Medical Center in Texas, where he remained for 10 weeks in critical condition. During that time, Bowen’s family, including his two brothers never were far from his side. On Jan. 10, while still in critical condition, Collin was awarded the Purple Heart by the military commander of Camp Clark in Afghanistan. On March 14, Bowen succumbed to his injuries and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. In his honor, the SFC Collin J. Bowen Memorial Scholarship was founded. The scholarship provides financial assistance to young men and women who “exemplify the strength of character, discipline and fighting spirit” of Bowen.

Artist Rendering of the Indiana Freedom Memorial.

‘Simple and poignant’

The idea for the Indiana Freedom Memorial, the central icon of which is the “Battlefield Cross,” formed using the rifle, helmet and boots of soldier killed in action, came to the Bowens as they realized the state had no memorial of its own for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “The design, in our view, kind of reflects the raw sacrifice,” said Shelby. “These soldiers from Indiana were hardworking, Midwestern guys. This represents that. It’s a solid memorial. It’s simple and poignant.” To achieve their goal, however, the Bowens needed help. “Shelby and I really just knocked on the door, and these local businesses opened their doors and just sort of jerked us inside,” Justin said. “They said, ‘Tell us what you need,’ and then came back and said they’d give us everything.” Among those donors were Edgewood Building Supply, located

www.youarecurrent.com

Shelby Bowen in Carmel, which provided more than 6,000 pounds of engraved limestone, Carmel based Pedcor Companies, where Shelby works as asst. vice president, which provided him the 10 weeks off to stay with his brother in the hospital and two architects from the Pedcor Design Group, Jim Stutzman and Fishers resident Dan Weekes, who volunteered hundreds of hours developing the architectural design, and Justin Wiley, another Fishers resident, of Bowman Construction, who served as the general contractor for the project.

Current in Fishers

Bowman construction donated labor and materials. “This is the remarkable part of it,” said Shelby. “Every time we meet with them, they say, ‘It’s the least we can do to honor these heroes.’ ” To complete the memorial, the Bowens continue looking for donations. They hope to have an official dedication ceremony on Sept. 11. For more information about the Indiana Freedom Memorial, or to donate, visit www.indianafreedommemorial. com.

Plagiarism is no laughing matter GRAMMAR GURU By Brandie Bohney In more than two years, I’ve never discussed plagiarism in this column. I’m not sure why I’ve skirted the issue for so long, but this week and next, I’ll discuss what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. First, it’s important to know what plagiarism is and why it’s an important issue. That’s where we’ll start this week. Plagiarism is the use of someone else’s words or ideas without properly crediting that source. It’s important to realize there is a distinction between intentional plagiarism and unintentional plagiarism, which is often referred to as misuse of sources. Intentional plagiarism is when a writer knowingly and often purposely uses the words and/ or ideas of someone else either without crediting the source at all or by crediting it incompletely. In school, it’s academic dishonesty: cheating. Depending on the school and the age of the student, punishment for academic plagiarism ranges anywhere from failing the assignment to failing the course to expulsion from the institution. In the real world, plagiarism can result in being fired or being sued. Purposely stealing the words or ideas of someone else is theft. That’s why the consequences can be so severe. People often disregard the seriousness of plagiarism, because what’s being stolen is intellectual property. Intellectual property is an abstraction. It’s the world of copyrights,

patents and trademarks. Yet there are several fields of law dedicated to the preservation of intellectual property. It’s serious business, and it deserves serious attention. Misuse of sources, however, is generally a less grievous offense – at least in certain academic circles. Unintentional plagiarism is perpetrated by students who don’t understand how to appropriately document their sources. Their lack of understanding might be due to laziness in the classroom rather than a deficiency on the part of the instructor, but misuse of sources happens when someone makes an honest attempt to correctly and completely credit his or her sources but falls short. The higher the level of education, though, the more serious the consequences for misusing sources. Outside of the classroom, though, misuse of sources can be just as serious as intentional plagiarism. Rather than a learning experience, misusing sources professionally is a sign of laziness or incompetence. And as it pertains to the law, ignorance is rarely an acceptable defense. The point? Ideas and the expression of those ideas are property. Use of that property requires careful, accurate documentation. That documentation will be next week’s topic.

PROVIDER SPOTLIGHT

Take Time for You

Your alarm is buzzing by 6am. And already, you don’t even have time to hit the snooze button. You’ve masterfully planned your day to accommodate everything and everyone without a moment to spare. Nobody has been left out. Well, nobody except for you. Putting others first is a selfless act. But when you put everyone in your life before you — all of the time — the inevitable happens: you wind up last and sometimes forgotten. So it’s important not to allow selflessness to become self-destructive. Finding time for you is a matter of health. “It’s not uncommon for women to put themselves last in line,” said Barbara Brands, MSW, LCSW, senior counselor at St.Vincent Stress Center. “However, it’s important to remember that if you don’t take time to care for yourself, it could take a toll on your ability to care for others as well.” Time constraints are stressful. And sometimes stress can motivate you to meet deadlines or get the kids to school on time. But too much stress can weigh heavily on your wellbeing. When the responsibilities of your hectic day cause you to withdraw from your friends and family, lose your concentration, or swing from one mood to the next, you may want to consider some ways to decompress.

14 | May 24, 2011

• Eat, sleep and exercise. Eating healthy, sleeping well and exercising regularly can do wonders for your mental and physical health. • Be more assertive. Learn to say “no” without feeling guilty. Accept that you can’t do everything for everyone all of the time. • Reward yourself. Set realistic goals and reward yourself when you achieve them. Big or small, rewards can help you stay motivated. • Set boundaries. Knowing your limits and sticking to them will help you avoid overwhelming yourself. “At St.Vincent Stress Center, we take a holistic approach to health,” Brands said. “Many of the things we encourage women to do to relieve stress improve both physical and mental health.” If stress is overwhelming you, contact St.Vincent Stress Center at 317-415-9147, located in Suite 302 at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast.

Barbara Brands, MSW, LCSW Senior Counselor

DISPATCHES » Lighten hair with rhubarb – Rhubarb has long been used as a lightening agent for blond or light brown hair. The oxalic acid serves as a fixative, so a rhubarb rinse will last much longer than most herbal rinses. Purchase some dried, chopped rhubarb root in a local health food store. Simmer 3 or 4 tablespoons of dried rhubarb root or half a cup of fresh, chopped root in a quart of water for 20 minutes in a covered stainless-steel pot. (Don’t breathe the steam.) Let the decoction steep overnight and strain in the morning. Test the liquid dye on a strand of hair first to see if you like the color. If you do, wash your hair as usual, then pour the rhubarb dye through it, catching the liquid in the pan and repeating two or three times. Air dry without further rinsing. Keep the roots away from children. -www.almanac.com » Pros, cons of solid wood – Solid wood flooring or bamboo is best for creating natural warmth in a kitchen, and it can be sanded and refinished several times.

Putting scale and proportion in perspective COMMENTARY By Sue Faulstich To my delight, I received quite a few comments regarding a specific part of my last article. Two very important parts of any design project are scale and proportion. Whether it is the design of a pair of shoes, a powder bathroom or an entire office building, both scale and proportion are an integral part of the equation. Often thought of as being synonymous in terms of design, I treat each one differently. It is common to hear something described as having a small scale or a large scale. From furniture to fabric patterns, when thinking about the scale of any item, it is best to think about size. When designing a room, my consideration of scale starts with the size and shape of the area and continues through the size and shape of every finishing touch. With the square footage of new homes increasing rapidly, the challenge rises to present a design with the proper scale. When working with these new elevated ceiling heights, consider the heights of pieces such as tables and lamps and take care that these items, which can get lost in a large space, are properly scaled to the room in which they are placed. Do not be afraid to place a 9-foot-tall tree in a 14-foot-tall foyer. Anything less, in fact, would be out of scale.

Also on the designer’s mind is proportion. I mentioned before that proportion refers to how items in a room relate to one another. When picking things like furniture, window treatments, and accessories such as artwork, it is important that these items work visually as a team. Each team member is unique, but at the same time complements every other member. This fundamental principle can be used in every room, nook, and cranny of your home. Proper proportion will help all of the parts of a design project come together soundly. Understanding scale and proportion does take training and experience. Being able to determine what makes a room aesthetically pleasing to someone is as hard as figuring out which pair of shoes they will fall in love with on the next visit to the mall. However, you can be sure the designer of that perfect pair of slingbacks used the same design principles regarding scale and proportion that I used to complete my last project.

Mexico and Central America certifications. » Go with more interest? – Old-school thinking was to choose the mortgage with the smallest interest payments. Now, many are suggesting doing the opposite. Paying the least interest on a mortgage requires a down payment of at least 20 percent and paying down the loan quickly. Doing this, however, can backfire given the current housing market. With interest rates still low, consumers might want to make a down payment of 10 percent instead of throwing most of their money into the home -- where some of it could be lost if home values decline. -www.smartmoney.com » Hot jobs of the future? – As things like technology, medicine, science and environmentalism continue to advance in the coming years, several occupations are bound to emerge.

Keys to setting, meeting expectations in business COMMENTARY By CJ McClanahan Last September, I received an e-mail from one of my sales coaching clients letting me know they were terminating my contract. I asked for a brief explanation as to why. They said three main factors led to their decision. First, I wasn’t holding their team accountable. Second, I seemed to review the same material each week and third, I hadn’t taught them anything about social media. I was shocked to hear the rationale behind their decision. I would never agree to hold a sales team accountable (it’s their manager’s job), I review the fundamentals each week until the team begins to put them into practice, and I can barely login to my Twitter® account. So, what happened? The reason this client became dissatisfied with my services had nothing to do with performance. They terminated my contract because I wasn’t meeting their expectations. It doesn’t matter I never agreed to these expectations, what matters is at some point I stopped paying attention to what they really wanted and instead focused on what I thought was important. This type of miscommunication leads to most arguments, both personal and professional. In theory, exceeding expectations is a simple concept – find out what someone expects and make sure you always deliver a little bit more. However, it can be very difficult to consistently execute this straightforward idea, because we get

so focused on ourselves. If you are interested in growing your business, you had better become an expert in not only meeting, but also exceeding the expectations of your prospects, customers, vendors and employees. Here’s a three-step process to get you started. First, you need to set expectations. By “set” I mean you should help them understand exactly what you feel is a reasonable expectation from your company. This is different than simply “understanding” expectations. Often, your prospects, clients and employees will set unreasonable and unattainable expectations if you let them. Next, build a set of uncomplicated systems for exceeding these expectations. Finally, measure your results. In other words, from time to time, you need to make certain you are exceeding the expectations you set. It is also a good idea to review these results with your prospect, client and/or employee on a regular basis. You’ll be amazed at how quickly people forget conversations and allow expectations to drift. There you go: Three simple steps for helping you exceed expectations. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is choose to execute. Choose wisely.

Migraine surgery offers new hope COMMENTARY By Barry Epply More than 30 million people in the United States have some degree of migraine headaches. While there are effective drug therapies, some patients either get little to no relief or have other problems related to side effects from the drugs. For a small number of migraine sufferers, it is very disabling, and little benefit is obtained, despite the best neurologic care. Plastic surgeons have developed new procedures to “deactivate” migraine headaches, and these were learned from results seen from cosmetic treatments. Based on Botox injections and browlift surgery, both of which temporarily paralyze or remove certain brow muscles, significant improvements or actual cures have occurred in migraines that begin in the forehead. This has led to understanding the cause of migraines in some patients, known as the peripheral trigger. The peripheral trigger theory of migraines is based on certain sensory nerves being squeezed or compressed by a surrounding muscle or contact point. This leads to a cascade of events that becomes a migraine. To date, four trigger areas have been identified. Three of these are where a nerve passes through a muscle: the greater occipital nerve in the back of the head, the zygomaticotemporal nerve in the temple area, and the supraorbital nerve at the inner half of the eyebrows. The fourth trigger point has been iden-

tified in the nose, where a significant septal deviation makes contact with an enlarged turbinate. Surgical migraine deactivation is done by removing the source of irritation or straightening the nasal septum. This is done through small incisions inside the scalp hair or from inside the nose. Studies have shown that such surgery produces good results that last, with nearly 90 percent of patients having at least partial relief at five years after surgery. Migraine attacks were fewer in number, not as severe, and shorter. In about one-third of patients, migraine headaches were completely eliminated. How does one know if surgery might improve their headaches? Before surgery, one needs to be tested with Botox injections to confirm the correct trigger site. If Botox works to temporarily improve migraine symptoms, then the peripheral trigger is confirmed and surgery will likely be successful. But before one considers Botox injections and even surgery, they should be initially evaluated and treated by a neurologist. Only after failure of traditional medical treatments should one consider this new plastic surgery treatment. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis boardcertified plastic surgeon.

The time for summertime skin treatments rapidly is approaching COMMENTARY By Dr. Jodie Harper & Dr. Angela Corea The countdown to summer is on! June 21, the first day of summer, is right around the corner, so now is the time to prepare your skin to face the summer sun. Sunscreen is a must (and don’t forget to reapply it throughout the day), but as the weather heats up, make sure to give your skin a little TLC with skin treatments that are right for the season. Don’t hesitate to exfoliate. While you will want to avoid deep peels during the summer months, it’s OK to opt for a gentler method of rejuvenating the skin. One of the best tools to help you get that healthy glow is Vibraderm. Vibraderm facials give an amazing exfoliation and stimulation to the skin. A stainless steel paddle is vibrated over the skin, removing dead skin cells. This technique targets superficial skin problems such as fine lines, mild acne, age spots and dullness. Put the YOU in rejuvenation. Rejuvenation is key to helping the skin cell turn over and slowing down the signs of aging. Another way to safely rejuvenate the skin during the summer

These fruit enzymes are “smart enzymes” in that they only dissolve dead skin cells, while keeping the healthy cells intact. Face the sun with C. Another treatment that is excellent this time of year is Vitamin C. Vitamin C lifts and firms the skin and encourages collagen production. With regular use, skin will appear smoother, brighter and more even. One of the best benefits is that, when used with sunscreen, Vitamin C also helps to protect the skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

My dog is a real gas HUMOR By Mike Redmond My dog, Cookie, has recently been somewhat, shall we say, gassy. Oh, who am I kidding? Gassy doesn’t BEGIN to describe it. She’s practically lethal. Now, I was raised in the country and as such, some of the smells my city friends find highly objectionable don’t really bother me all that much. A lot full of cattle? No problem. The swine barn at the State Fair? A breeze, so to speak. A cheese-cutting dog, on the other hand … Actually, it’s not so bad under certain circumstances, such as being outdoors with a strong wind blowing away from you and the dog. Under those conditions it can even be fun to have a few guy friends over so you can make gassy dog comparisons. However, Cookie and I spend a lot of time in a small office, where the air circulation isn’t so good. It’s not the smell so much. It’s just that I can’t see my computer screen because of the burning in my eyes. I’ve been down this road before with a number of other dogs, and I know that this condition, while incurable, can usually be taken down a notch or two with a change of diet. And so I’ve been researching different dog foods in hope of finding one that will clear the air.

22 | May 24, 2011

The results? I think the dog food companies are full of (see above under “lot full of cattle.”) For one thing, they all promise the same thing: Dogs will love it. This is completely bogus. We are talking about animals that eat garbage. Cookie once upended a bird feeder and ate a pound of millet. Don’t even get me started on the litter box. The point is, dogs eat anything. Of course they’re going to love it. I’ve never eaten dog food that I know of, although I’ve had some greasy spoon chili that was highly suspect. I have, however, at the instigation of a cousin, eaten a Milk-Bone. Having had that experience I cannot for the life of me figure out why my dog will actually beg for one. Anyway, so far I haven’t found the solution to my problems with Methane Mutt. I suppose I’ll just have to go by trial and error until I find a brand of food that produces the least amount of air pollution. Just my luck, it’ll be the expensive brand, too. That will stink, but not as bad as my office. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline.com or P.O. Box 44385, Indianapolis, IN 46244.

A one-word solution to a tired living space COMMENTARY By Randy Sorrell RETROFIT. Even the word promotes visions of resourceful, smart and edgy landscaped spaces … and it’s often budget friendly. Early in the 2011 landscape, design and build season, we find ourselves creatively managing several retrofit projects. Here’s what a retrofit looks like: • So your concrete patio is in good shape; it’s just a little small and lacks inspiration. Often, leaving the concrete and expanding it with a paver edge and well-designed addition is a great solution. Or, simply cap the existing concrete with pavers for a fresh look. This is one of my favorite retrofit strategies. Another Al Gore invention! • Tired decks are easily retrofitted with new decking. We prefer one of the synthetics like Azek, but premium pine and cedar are good too. Warped spindles and rail systems can be replaced with clean aluminum spindles and/or a space-saving bench for a jazzy twist. The supporting joist system economically remains. • A recent Carmel landscape installation preserved the ideal 12’ anchoring pyramidal yews and mature front door dogwood tree. The remaining spent shrubs were replaced with flowering native fothergilla, formal entry boxwood, a subtle stone bed edge and enough pachysandra ground cover and variegated hos-

Timing, technology drive kitchen redos REMODELING By David Decker Our unique kitchen improvements rely heavily on putting the right appliances in place, and we often involve expert vendors who consult our clients on the very latest market trends and technology. Estimating that 75 percent of its sales are derived from kitchen remodels, hhgregg Fine Lines sales manager Rick Donaldson cites both economic timing and an explosion of modern technology that make kitchens a perfect “now” project. Housing sales may be soft, but it’s a hard fact that homeowners are enhancing their kitchens at a record rate. “People are staying in their homes, waiting for better market-timing to sell,” Donaldson notes. “No doubt, a nicer kitchen makes the waiting easier and obviously it’s an asset when it’s time to sell.” Technology is a major allure. Donaldson cites induction cooktops, improved ventilation hoods, “smart” wall ovens and versatile refrigerator modules among the top ultra-tech upgrades that completely remake the design and function of any kitchen. Induction cooktops are a radical improvement over gas or electric, magnetic fields heat the food without heating the cooktop, making induction more efficient, more precise, less dangerous, more adaptable, and easier to control. Ventilation hoods continue to develop in function, filtration and design at a very rapid level. Removing smoke, smells, heat and humidity – either updraft or downdraft – is en-

www.youarecurrent.com

tirely doable, irrespective of available ductwork or outside ventilation. “Smart” wall ovens, Donaldson says, “not only cook your food, they tell you how to cook it. Whether a pan of brownies or a filet mignon, a 7-inch computer touch screen doesn’t tell you what to do, it just asks questions about what you want. You don’t set a time or temperature; the oven already knows.” Modular and variable-panel refrigerators mean refrigeration units can be put anywhere: in tall thin cabinets, short, wide drawers or cabinets in virtually any finish. “It completely opens up what a designer can do in a kitchen,” Donaldson says. Donaldson’s best piece of advice? “Consult the store for the latest technology, and have a kitchen designer put it all together so it works right for you.” David Decker is president of Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms, based in Carmel (877-252-1420, www.affordablekandb.com).

Pet waste in our waterways COMMENTARY By Rebecca Stevens Water is our most vital resource. All of our water is interconnected: the rain water, the water deep in the ground, the water that runs off our streets and lawns – all of it is the same water we end up drinking. Most storm drains empty directly to the river, creek or lake without any form of treatment. And as our communities continue to grow, we are getting more and more of our drinking water directly from the river. That water comes from our parking-lot drains, businesses, street drains and other types of drains that can carry pollutants directly to the river without any treatment. Pet waste is a health risk to pets and people, especially children. Pet waste is full of bacteria that can make people sick. If it’s washed into the storm drain and ends up in our rivers, lakes, and streams, the bacteria ends up in our fish and aquatic life. Unless people pick up after their pets properly, the waste enters our water with no treatment. In addition to transferring harmful pathogens to our water, pet waste also leads to increased biological oxygen demand, making it difficult for aquatic life to survive. A few facts to consider: • An average size dog dropping contains three billion fecal coliform bacteria. • In addition to fecal coliform, dogs can also be significant hosts of both Giardia and Salmonella.

24 | May 24, 2011

• According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, 40 percent of U.S. households include at least one dog. • Those numbers add up to a lot of kibble! If all dog owners also owned and used a pooper-scooper, there would not be a problem. But several studies have found that roughly 40 percent of Americans don’t pick up their dog’s feces. So how can YOU help keep our waterways clean? • Scoop that poop or flush it down the toilet! • Seal the waste in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. • Bury small quantities in your yard where it can decompose slowly. Dig a hole one foot deep, put three to four inches of waste at the bottom, and cover it with at least eight inches of soil. Bury the waste in several different locations in your yard and keep it away from vegetable gardens. And lastly, when you’re enjoying a trip out with your pet, please make sure you have poop bags with you. It’s just part of being a responsible pet owner.

Pets of the week Pacer is a 3 year old male tri-color Hound/Shepherd mix. Pacer is an active and outgoing boy who enjoys playing with toys. He loves going to the dog park where he can run and stretch his legs, get his toes wet in the water and play with other dogs. He occasionally gets over stimulated and at the dog park but gentle reminders to calm down helps him remember his good doggie manners. Pacer is gentle when taking treats and he knows the commands sit and down. He is energetic and playful and will need an active family who will provide him with daily exercise and lots of love. Cilantro is a 7 month old male tabby DSH. Cilantro really enjoys playing with toys and with his brothers Basil, Cajun and Pepper. The four kittens arrived at the shelter when they were just weeks old and needed to be bottle fed. They have been in a foster home where they have become healthy, strong and social kittens and are ready to find their forever home. Cilantro enjoys playing tag and running circles around the island in the kitchen. When he’s not playing, he’s pretty laid back and is content to sun himself by lying in a window sill.
