The Town of Fishers is at work to build two places for the citizens to play. While a plan for a new development park with several features and attractions is in the works, construction of a “pocket Cyntheanne Park park” on 116th Street in downtown Concept Plan Fishers is already underway. The small park, located near the storefronts that include Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream & Yogurt, 8760 E. 116th St., is on target to be completed in mid-to-late July, according to Maura Leon-Barber, Town of Fishers director of public relations.

Next few months should be exciting Commentary by Larry Lannan
The first half of 2013 is already behind us. The Town of Fishers has a lot on its plate in the second half of the year. Let’s take a look at some of the big issues government ahead. July is the time of year local governments in Indiana begin the budget process. Fishers Town Council members will soon meet to begin making decisions on spending priorities for 2014. The budget process can be very tedious and filled with small details, but how our elected officials choose to spend the public money available says a lot about their priorities. As we all now know, Fishers will have its first city election in 2014. Candidates must file for office early in 2014 with the primary balloting set for May 6. With three at-large and six council seats elected by district, the town council must draw those district lines before candidates can begin to decide whether to run for any of the council seats. The current town council members have always been elected at large, but when the city elections begin, council candidates in the six districts will only run within their district. That makes redistricting more important than ever. Town council members have decided in a work session to reject the bids for town-wide trash collection and rebid with new specifica-
tions. Formal action should be scheduled in an upcoming council session. The new bid guidelines are expected to include options for certain individuals and homeowners associations to opt-out of any town contract After the fair train ends its run in August, construction is slated to begin on a mixed building project for commercial and apartment residential space on the town hall grounds, across from the post office. This will include a badly needed parking garage. The construction will greatly change the look and feel of the town complex and the downtown area of Fishers. The state legislature passed a measure in the last session allowing Fishers to implement a local restaurant tax. The deadline for the town council to approve this idea is the end of 2013. The council is not expected to move on this unless a major employer steps forward to locate in Fishers. Rumors abound, but no official announcements have made as of this writing. The first half of the year in Fishers has been filled with plenty of news items. During the second half, it looks like the town will be making news again.

Gustavo Perotta’s restaurant will be an intimate supper club By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Fishers Resident Gustavo Perrotta is cooking up an opportunity to achieve a dream and give Indianapolis-area foodies a cover story chance to gnash on meals with familiar elements and stops in their palates’ uncharted territories. Perrotta, 27, won the Hottest Kitchen Entrepreneur Challenge, put on by Indy’s Kitchen and Reliable Water Services, two businesses entrenched in the food industry, last month. You may have seen him on WISH-TV’s Indy Style. Up for tasting, and judging, were his Crab Mofonguito – a colorful Carribbean dish that includes cool guacamole, seasoned crab meat and deep-fried plantains – and a business concept. He and his wife Katy will be starting Perrotta’s Kitchen, a “supper club” that will start off meeting once a month at Indy’s Kitchen, 2442 Central Ave., Indianapolis. As a kid, Gustavo grew up watching his mom cook meals for the family, learning a lot along the way. Now he spends his weekends cooking and entertaining for friends and family. “People sometimes are surprised when I tell them that I’ve never taken a cooking class or anything,” he said. He may surprise even more people when Perrotta’s Kitchen opens, fusing Latin, Asian and Italian flavors and making his hobby – cooking and entertaining – a business. The recipe Perrotta grew up in the Dominican Republic. When not learning about cooking while watching his mother prepare the family’s meals, he had the chance to go to a private school. He said the public schools in the Dominican Republic are much less organized than their U.S. counterparts. Eventually he’d land at Purdue University, studying and earning a degree in economics,

Meet Gustavo Perrotta • Age: 27 • Hometown: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic • Alma mater: Purdue University • Favorite Food Network show: “Iron Chef” • Favorite chef: Masaharu Morimoto
meeting his wife, Katy, along the way. They have lived in Fishers for just under two years now. Gustavo’s a financial analyst. Katy’s a certified public accountant. He said in their spare time, they toy with a business plan and try and figure out if it’s feasible to open up a restaurant in the future. A patron of local food emporiums, including Goose the Market and Nicole-Taylor’s Pasta and Market in Indianapolis, Perrotta found out about
the Hottest Kitchen Entrepreneur Challenge through Goose’s social media presence and entered. “I kind of wanted to see if the dishes I made would catch the eye of people that didn’t know me,” he said. He caught the judges’ eyes, and won the competition, earning seed money, cookware and more. Concept coming to life Perrotta’s kitchen will be a supper club.
Groups or individuals can buy one or more of the 12 available seats for each event, with various price points, depending on the size of the group. Patrons will be able to look up what’s on the menu in advance and decide whether they want to join Gustavo as he cooks up a four-course meal with the patrons around him. In addition to picking what dining experience to embark upon, patrons provide their own drinks, pairing their preferred beverages with what Gustavo has cooking. Gustavo said they’re hoping the target opening date for the venture will be in mid-to-late August. “The main thing is having a place where you’re able to have affordable, gourmet food,” he said. Katy, who helped Gustavo during the competition and will continue to do so with the business, is excited for the beginning of Perrotta’s Kitchen. “I think it’ll be great for him also to start to get that hands-on first experience with customer service,” Katy said. “For him to be put into a situation that’s more people that he doesn’t know – It’s going to be great experience.” “I feel that starting off right now, it’s going to be an awesome time and an awesome experience,” Gustavo said. “And (I will) hopefully (be) meeting a lot of different people and expressing their love for food.” Visit www.perrottaskitchen.com to sign up for a newsletter and for links to its Facebook and Twitter offerings.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Is liberty giving way to tyranny? “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” - Thomas Jefferson
Real-life heroes It is our position that individuals who dedicate their life to public safety are the real community heroes. The tragic deaths of 19 elite firefighters who were killed while fighting the Yarnell Hill wildfire in Prescott, Ariz., serve as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifices emergency personnel make for total strangers in their communities every day. Yet, it seems professional athletes and entertainers steel most of the spotlight, and unfortunately, the headlines. Imagine a community where firefighter shirts replaced football jerseys for leisure wear. Posters of pop-stars and baseball trading cards are forsaken for the names and faces of police officers, doctors and nurses. Not to mention the enormous disparity in income. Credit must also be given to the brave parents, spouses and children who selflessly share their loved ones with the entire community. As A.W. Smokey Linn wrote in his fireman’s prayer, “I want to fill my calling, and give the best in me, to guard my neighbor and protect his property. And if according to your will, I have to lose my life, please bless with your protecting hand, my children and my wife.” Thank you to all the real life heroes who keep our community safe.
Getting the butts out Commentary by Terry Anker What is the difference between a neighborhood in decline and one that is great or becoming so? Europe is filled with spectacular places – old cities, public art and centuries of accumulated cool stuff. But each grand bridge, charming street and quaint facade comes with its own progressive price tag. Like the human kind, architectural aging comes at a high cost. Weather, war and watchlessness each takes its toll. Yet, the supposed inevitability of the decay is highly disproportionate in its impact. Some streets, filled with ancient buildings, appear fresh and solid. Others, even with much newer edifices, appear ready for collapse. What makes the difference? Certainly, there are some innate qualities that support longevity. Wind and water, especially of the saline variety, pushes the genetic makeup to the limits. But so much, even the single most important, lies in maintenance. Of course, a leaking roof quickly becomes an all-in collapse if ignored for even moments. But the big problems are usually the ones
that are ignored – the small ones, especially in the aggregate, can be even more dangerous. Communities large and small struggle with graffiti and garbage – as they have for centuries. Money, building materials and loads of elements lead to their management. Good leadership and ethical institutions are crucial to be sure, but the role of the individual cannot be discounted. Just this week, I watched as a man stood in front of an aging storefront in our fine community and used the car key from his pocket to fish cigarette butts from the cracks in the sidewalk in front of his shop. Why did he take this initiative? Let along, what made him take notice? How much in our lives could be fixed with simple effort and not grand gesture? I want to shop in that store – the guy seemed to care. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

Read that again, please. We trust you celebrated the Fourth of July in fine fashion and took stock of exactly what Independence Day ultimately means. As we all get back to work, the memories of festivals and fireworks fading somewhat, we believe it’s the perfect time to remind ourselves of the need to fully examine what Thomas Jefferson said. Actually, if not frighteningly, it has an extreme modern-day application. So, let us ask: Do you fear government at any level, but especially in Washington? Do the recent scandals involving the IRS’ unwarranted investigation into conservative political groups and the NSA’s surveillance scandal – and let’s not forget the retroactive amnesia associated with the terrifying events in Benghazi - give you reason to feel apprehensive about government’s intentions? Do we really understand what liberty means? Do we really understand what the Fourth of July means, aside from sparklers, parades and blueberry cobbler? It’s never to late to grasp and embrace. If you have children, do they know? Do we all really value being reared in a free society that, despite its warts, is the best on Earth? Is it possible to understand liberty’s true meaning if you’ve never experienced any of the variety of alternatives? Are we at that point, though? Does the national holiday we celebrated just last week have a different feel to it than it did, say, 10 years ago? We believe that if everyone is being honest, the answer to that would be a resounding “yes.” Maybe Jefferson should have said that in order to gain liberty, government needs to respect the people. Sadly, that never will happen. That’s our take, but we want yours. Please share your views with us at info@youarecurrent.com.

The deadly blasts end now
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Listen up, people. Passing gas in bed is not something to be proud of. Despite my husband’s arguments to the contrary, it is humor harmful to others and can destroy relationships. And I, for one, am no longer going to stand aside and pretend that this presumably natural body function is acceptable between the sheets. This ends here and now. Granted, I’m a bit crazed this morning. Between my family’s dog suddenly deciding she needs to have a potty break at 4 a.m. (and whose incessant whining only seems to wake me up), jet lag (I’m only four days back in country from my North Africa/ Middle East adventure, which I survived with minimal incidents, thank you very much!) and Doo’s early morning gaseous antics, I am not thinking altogether clearly. So I’ve decided to concentrate my sleep-deprived efforts on saving the world from oh-dark-thirty “bomb” attacks. What galls me the most is how funny Doo thinks he is. When I told him about his consecutive cacophonous pre-dawn assult, and that the result was a nightmare where he stole my food and then abandoned me in a medieval Koranic school somewhere in Morocco (the stress of my trip is still lingering), Doo howled with laughter. No “I’m sorry I kept you awake” or “I feel terrible for what I subjected you to” or even the slightest hint of embarrassment. Truth be told, my accusations somehow made him feel more manly, more
macho, MORE hilarious. Come on! I understand if you’re alone and the urge strikes . . . go for it. They’re your nostrils you’re searing. But when your partner is within the blast zone with no opportunity to escape or even protect herself, honking your butt horn is rude, and frankly, immature. What grade are we in? And OK, I’ll admit to sometimes finding the situation extremely funny, too, but that’s when I’m fully awake and coherent, and I know he’s just trying to lighten the mood. True – I suppose every so often breaking wind occurs mid-REM. Like sleepwalking, the person is not aware of his toxic actions. But the noise my husband was generating this morning and the consistent spacing and sheer forcefulness of the sounds left no doubt in my mind that he was in full control of his emissions system. Uncool, Doo. Uncool. If you or someone you love is suffering a similar situation, join me in spreading this important message: Cheese cutting should take place in a well-ventilated area, not the bedroom, and if possible, with an ample, clearly a communicated warning. For the sake of relationships everywhere! Peace out.

This years Sheridan BlueGrass Fever festival is expected to draw an even larger crowd than the one shown here at last year’s festival. (Submitted photo)
Sheridan BlueGrass Fever is mid-summer highlight By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com As the summer reaches its midpoint, local fans of bluegrass music will have much to celebrate. On Friday and Saturday, the Sheridan Historical Society will roll out its MUSIC annual Sheridan BlueGrass Fever. The festival, which is in its sixth year, will feature two days of food, workshops, and, of course, lots of bluegrass music. This year’s festival will be held on the hillside lawn terrace on Sheridan Veterans Park, at First and Main streets. Featured acts on the bill include Circle City Bluegrass Band, The Little Roy and Lizzie Show, Jeremy Morris and the Harvest Road Band, Blue Mafia, Cumberland Gap, and Karl Shiflett & the Big Country Show. The Sheridan BlueGrass Fever is part of the Sheridan Historical Society’s community outreach mission. The society’s goal is to preserve the history of Sheridan through family histories, museum collections, and pioneer artifacts. As festival chairperson Brenda Bush explained, Sheridan BlueGrass Fever is an outgrowth of that community building. “It started out as a pilot in 2008,” she said. “We started testing events that were centered around the George Boxley Cabin. We wanted events that would celebrate culture and history.” Boxley Cabin, as it is known today, is itself rich in history. It was constructed in 1828 by Virginia native George Boxley, a fugitive abolitionist who would later establish the first school in what was then known as Adams Township. Boxley spent the remainder of his life an educator, and continued to aid runaway slaves. “Boxley Cabin is a big part of our history and our culture. This is a multi-community event,
and we are constantly growing,” Bush said. “In 2009, we had 400 people. In 2010, we celebrated the Sheridan centennial and drew a crowd of 1,200. In 2011, we gated the event for the very first time. Our budget for this year’s festival was $17,000. We also received a grant from the Hamilton County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.” Of course, the accent during the festival will be on the one element that is known for bringing people together, the music. On opening night, the Circle City Bluegrass Band will start the show, and their appearance has become a staple of the festival. The CCBB, as they are known, was the first act to perform at the inaugural festival.
If you go Friday 6 p.m. – Jeremy Morris and the Harvest Road Band 7 p.m. – Cumberland Gap 8 p.m. – Circle City Bluegrass Band Saturday 2 p.m. – Blue Mafia 3 p.m. – Karl Shiflett and the Big Country Show 4 p.m. – The Little Roy and Lizzie Show 5 p.m. – Blue Mafia 6 p.m. – Hickory Hollow Bluegrass Band 7 p.m. – Jeremy Morris and the Harvest Road Band 8 p.m. – Karl Shiflett & the Big Country Show 9 p.m. – The Little Roy and Lizzie Show Tickets are $20 for both days; $10 for Friday and $15 for Saturday. Children 12 and younger are not charged admission. For more information, visit www.bluegrassfever.net.
“The guys in CCBB all love playing bluegrass music so we enjoy it anywhere we get to play. But Sheridan has been pretty special for us,” CCBB bass player and emcee Dean Metcalf said. “From our very first show, we’ve always felt warmly welcomed by the audience and the event organizers. The park, cabin, and gazebo make a beautiful setting for outdoor concerts and we seem to have wonderful weather every year. It makes me proud to be a Hoosier sharing a perfect Indiana evening with other Hoosiers.” Both Bush and Metcalf agree that one of the many high points of the festival will be an appearance by teenage banjo wunderkind Jeremy Morris and the Harvest Road Band. “We are thrilled to have Jeremy Morris back this year,” Bush said. “He’s 16 now, but he started playing at the age of 6!” “We met Jeremy Morris the first time we played in Sheridan, when he was just this little kid playing a few songs on a banjo. It’s been amazing watching him grow into a professional musician and bandleader,” Metcalf said. For festival organizers and performers, it would seem that the excitement, the venue, and, most importantly, the audience are more than enough to keep the festival alive and vibrant for years to come. For the audience, the festival offers a midsummer pinnacle, a two-day event filled with music, culture, and community. “CCBB is fortunate to have Sheridan on our schedule and Sheridan is fortunate to have such an incredible facility and great annual event. We’re looking forward to it again this year,” Metcalf said. “So many people look forward to the festival,” Bush said. “For them, it’s the highlight of summer!”

Vacation increases DVT risk
Commentary by Dr. Jeffery Schoonover
Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot inside a vein deep in the body, especially in the legs. DVT may not have any symptoms but can cause pain, swelling veins and warmth in the leg. If untreated, people with DVT are at risk for developing a pulmonary embolism in which the blood clot breaks away and travels to the lung, which can be fatal. Approximately 600,000 people in the United States have a pulmonary embolism each year, and more than 10 percent of them die from it. Pulmonary embolism occurs equally in men and women and doubles for each 10 years after age 60. Vacations are a particularly dangerous time for DVT because extended travel on an airplane, car or train can increase your risk. This is especially important if you have recently had surgery, are pregnant, overweight, smoke or have a history of blood clots. Risk of DVT should not keep you from traveling this summer if you take these simple steps. • Studies have shown that wearing compression stockings during a trip can significantly reduce your risk for DVT. These stockings help increase circulation in your legs. Make sure to purchase medical grade stockings,

fitted by a trained professional. • Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water and avoid caffeine or alcohol because both are dehydrating. • Wear loose, comfortable clothes. • Get out of your seat every hour or two. Walk up and down the aisle. In an airplane, it is helpful to request an aisle seat so it is easier to stretch out and move around. In a car, stop at a gas station or rest area and walk around for a few minutes. When you walk, the muscles of the legs squeeze the veins and move blood to the heart. • Move every half hour or so while you are seated. Rotate your ankles, draw circles on the ground with your toes, flex your feet and toes and raise your legs slightly and hold them in the air for a few seconds. • Avoid crossing your legs while you are seated because it prevents circulation and can cause blood to pool in the veins. Taking these steps will decrease your risk for DVT and give you a happier, healthier vacation.

First impressions are critical Commentary by CJ McClanahan In the first year of my business, I met a lot of people. My daily schedule Move the needle featured coffee meetings at just about every Starbucks on the north side. I distinctly remember an early morning meeting with a financial planner. He pulled into the parking lot and stepped out of a late model Hyundai. Instinctively, I thought, “Yikes, he drives a Hyundai - probably not having much success as a financial planner.” I recognize that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Hyundai, and my initial impression was shallow and uninformed. But, I had it nonetheless. And here’s what’s really interesting. Nearly 10 years later, whenever I think of this individual, at some level I wonder, “Has he achieved any success?” Most of us judge people, products and services within seconds. More importantly, it’s difficult to overcome this first impression. It’s critical to remember this truth when considering how to
market yourself and your business. If your first opportunity to engage the marketplace is over the telephone, make certain that you prepare a script that details the perfect interaction. If you anticipate that a prospect/customer will first visit your website, remember that most people will leave a site within seconds if they aren’t impressed. Or worst, a prospect may judge your company as being cheap or unprofessional based on your digital marketing. If the marketplace engages with you faceto-face for the first time, the challenge is the same. A terrible paint job or bad landscaping can doom a restaurant. A wrinkled shirt or terrible haircut can ruin a job interview. Luckily, simply keeping in mind the importance of a first impression will help you to exceed expectations. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Palmyra resembles Second Temple Commentary by Don Knebel

About 150 miles northeast of Damascus are the partially reconstructed ruins of the ancient city of Palmyra. Those ruins include travel what has been described as the most important religious building in the Middle East during the first century, a building that mimics the Second Temple in Jerusalem with one very important difference. Palmyra was founded near a fertile oasis in the middle of the Syrian Desert in about 2000 B.C. It began to prosper as caravans traveling between the Far East and the Mediterranean stopped for water and supplies. The residents were only too willing to accommodate the travelers if the price was right. By the first century, Palmyra had become one of the wealthiest cit-

ies in the Middle East, its wealth reflected by a magnificent theatre and a main street flanked by 1.500 Corinthian columns. Many people come to Palmyra to see a huge temple complex, occupying nearly an acre, built in 32 A.D to honor Ba’al, the Canaanite god of war and weather. That complex, with its Holy of Holies or cella and its altar of undressed stone, is remarkably similar to descriptions of the Jewish Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. It seems likely that the temple to Ba’al was influenced by the temple in Jerusalem. But there was one very important difference. The Palmyra temple included a statue of Ba’al in its Holy of Holies, while the Holy of Holies in Jerusalem was occupied only by the spirit of the transcendent Yahweh. West of the temple to Ba’al are the famous tower tombs, unique to Palmyra. Families placed their dead and their possessions in morgue-like compartments in these multi-story towers and then sealed the opening with a slab of stone carved in relief to reflect the life of the deceased. When the fighting is over and a trip to Syria becomes possible once more, Palmyra provides a wonderful opportunity to see what the Jewish Second Temple probably looked like before its destruction and to reflect on the Jewish conception of an invisible God that lives on long after Ba’al has been forgotten and his temple abandoned.

BLOWDRY IN LESS TIME! 1. Try Microfiber Instead of drying your hair with the blow dryer immediately after your shower, start by towel drying. When you towel dry, be sure to gently pat the towel on your hair instead of rubbing it on your head, which will just cause frizz. Try using a microfiber hair towel. This super absorbent towel will help soak up moisture faster than a standard bath towel. The microfiber will also help prevent frizz.
BEST BLUSH FOR YOUR SKIN Fair Skin For a pretty flush, stick to soft, pastel pinks. Avoid anything in the brown family, which can look like dirt on porcelain skin. Olive Skin Light pinks just disappear on you, and peaches and bronzes get oddly powdery-looking. Best: Medium to deep rose will warm up your cheeks. Medium Skin A shot of bolder color illuminates light brown or yellow tones, so go for a bright, true pink. And don't worry if it looks too bright in the palette—it will look more subtle on! Dark Skin Blush has to be visible to have an impact, but go too out-there and you may begin to resemble Bozo. Rich, browny reds create that perfect just-from-the-gym flush. Looking for more makeup tips and recommendations? Schedule a consultation with one of our trained Salon01 estheticians! 10 NATURAL REMEDIES FOR ACNE 1. Baking Soda - Baking soda helps eliminate breakouts and inflammation while exfoliating dead skin cells. It also works great to reduce visibility of old scars and acne marks. To use: take a few teaspoons of baking soda and mix it with warm water until it forms a paste. Apply the paste to your skin; leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes the first few time. You can gradually increase the time up to an hour or even leave it on overnight. After one use you should see a great difference in your skin. Remove gently with warm water and pat dry. 2. Apple Cider Vinegar- This pantry staple is amazing for skin, as it has both antibacterial and antifungal properties. The malic and lactic acids found in vinegar help to soften and exfoliate. To use, combine 1/2 cup vinegar with 1/2 cup water and combine in a sterile glass container. Apply to freshly cleansed skin with a cotton ball. 3. Coconut Oil - Coconut oil is also antibacterial and antifungal. Coconut oil’s moisturizing properties keeps skin healthy and hydrated. Apply the oil to your skin and massage in circular motions in place of your usual moisturizer. Reapply as needed. 4. Tea Tree Oil - Tea tree oil is an essential oil with incredible antibacterial properties. To apply, mix a small amount of tea tree with an equal amount of castor or olive oil. Dip a cotton ball into the mixture and apply it to your skin. 5. Egg Whites - Egg whites are powerful at reducing oil and minimizing the look of pores. To use, separate the egg white from the yolk. With a cotton ball, apply the egg white to your skin. Leave it on anywhere from 10 minutes to an
2. Use Less Product Between heat protectant sprays, styling serums, shine creams and leave-in treatments, there are about a million hair products on the market. Remember: they are not all to be used at once. You can actually weigh your hair down when using too many products, which also slows down drying time. Once you’ve finished towel drying your hair, apply your products of choice, but remember to use sparingly. Consult with a trained stylist at Salon 01 to ensure you are using the proper combination and the proper amount of products for your hair type and texture. 3. Get an Ionic Dryer Consider investing in an ionic blow dryer. An ionic blow dryer releases negative ions that help to break down water molecules in your hair faster. The heat from the dryer is better able to penetrate the hair shaft, which results in silkier, smoother strands and a much faster blow dry than that of a typical blow dryer. hour. Rinse your face with warm water and a clean cloth. This treatment is fabulous for removing impurities. 6. Lemon Juice - Lemons have natural antibacterial and astringent properties for clearing skin. Apply lemon juice to freshly cleansed skin and leave on for 15 minutes to an hour. Rinse with warm water and moisturize as usual. 7. Garlic - Surprisingly, garlic is an incredible topical acne treatment. To use, take a clove of garlic and thinly slice it. Rub the slices on your skin, particularly any problem areas, making sure the juice of the garlic is applied. Leave on for 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water and cleanse as usual. 8. Ice Cubes - Rub an ice cube on problem areas to help reduce inflammation. Not only, does the cold close your pores it also forces the bacteria out. You can also splash your face with cold water to achieve similar affects. 9. Cornstarch - Cornstarch is very soothing and gentle. This is a great natural remedy for acne when you have a lot of redness or irritation. You can apply the cornstarch to your individual breakouts or to your whole face. 10. Aloe - Aloe is very soothing and reduces inflammation and redness. To use, apply the gel to your skin with your fingers, you can apply it several times a day. If you have an aloe plant, it would be even better as you get the aloe fresh, without any added ingredients.

Good decorating doesn’t require a trust fund
Commentary by Vicky Earley
For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US
Interior decorating need not empty your bank account if done thoughtfully and with a plan. Just throwing items indoors from decorating discount stores won’t do the trick, ever. The following is a list of just a few changes that are guaranteed to improve any room and don’t require a trust fund. You’ve heard it a million times but it is worth mentioning again and again: The right color on your walls can make your room come together like nothing else. It surrounds the contents and provides a background for the elements. Requirements: Two to three gallons of a quality paint, brushes, rollers, nonstick tape and a painter if you don’t want to tackle it yourself. Remove stacks of magazines, remove shelf after shelf of family photos in assorted frames, and eliminate any “knick knacks” smaller than a shoe box and remove school art from refrigerator. Requirements: Enough emotional security to allow such items to be stored out of sight. Reposition your sofa away from the wall and cluster chairs for easy conversation. Define the space with an area rug.
We understand the sadness associated with losing a beloved pet. When the need arises we offer compassionate pick up of your pet from your home or veterinarian's clinic; private cremation or burial assistance. Our pet memorial center offers a dedicated Rememberance Room to say your last good bye and receive your pet's cremains in privacy. Our Sanctuary is available for life celebrations, visitation and funerals. Large selection of urns and containers,memorial jewelry, custom art and other items available too.
Requirements: A willingness to embrace the unexpected and a strong back. Permanent silk plants are not forever so now is the time to prune.
Requirement: Fill the vertical void in height of a tired artificial tree with tall bamboo sticks in an urn Retire faded prints, circa 1985 that are framed under glass. There is nothing like original art to add richness and soul to a room, even if you have to be the artist. Using a large gallery wrapped frame, create
art with the same paint used for walls. Simply pour watered down paint on a flat canvas and paint to move freely. After one color is dry, use a second utilizing the same technique. More colors can be squiggled and swirled by applying paint with a squeeze bottle. Requirement: Confidence that your art is worthy of your home. Eliminate things that are looking tired and weary. Be honest with yourself when considering an item – keeping decorative items beyond their shelf life will only pull down everything else in the room. Keep in mind that I am referring to transient items like painted ducks, not items that truly are heirloom worthy. Requirement: Removal of all accessories from a room and consider the “bones.” Shop for a few fresh pieces with the bare room in mind. Carry your fabric swatches and paint chips with you. Before returning your old accessories, place the new ones, adding only the best of the old ones to the mix. Box up the rejects and donate them. I promise you won’t miss a bit of it and your space will have a fresh new face. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in Carmel.

P R E S E N TAT I O N FROM THE GROUND UP.
LET US SHOW YOU HOW. WIDE RANGE OF SERVICES. After, a newly designed first-floor bathroom considers the needs of its aging owners. (Submitted photo)
Aging details built into remodel Commentary by Larry Greene
Existing bathroom: The location of this property near Geist Reservoir is what made the current homeowners build their house in 1987. “We moved nine times, Blueprint for so became adept at improvement discovering valuable locations,” said one of the homeowners. “We enjoy sailing as well, so we like being on Geist.” Designed in the 1980’s, the original bathroom was very pink, with carpeting, a fiberglass tub/shower unit and a pedestal sink. Not only was it time to update the space, the homeowners also wanted to make sure they had a workable bathroom on the first floor as they aged. Design issues: “We wanted a designer involved in the process because we had no idea what we wanted,” said one of the homeowners. “We thought we might want to take out the tub, but we are not good at visualizing what we want. It was helpful to work with a professional designer.” Working within the existing footprint, the final design called for replacing the tub/shower unit with a custom shower. Aging-
in-place elements such as grab bars, a shower bench and a hand-held shower head were also included. Finally, a large vanity was added to give the room the storage it lacked previously. Final result: Attention to the details gave the homeowner the look they were going for. “I wanted something elegant, modern and unique,” one of the homeowners said. “The design on the shower wall is one I do not see everywhere, and it reminds me of a spa look.” The shower wall was laid with 7-inch by 20-inch porcelain tile in a horizontal, straight pattern, and accented with glass mosaic tile in the niche and banding. Two-inch by 2-inch tiles line the shower floor for visual interest. To add contrast to the light wall colors, Black Pearl granite was used for the shower bench, niche shelving, shower threshold and the vanity countertops. The frameless shower door adds to the sleek, modern look.
