Showmanship runs in the family

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com July 22 was a day of pure excitement and relief in the Russell home as siblings Brad and Sammy Russell both cap4-H fair tured showmanship titles.

The Noblesville residents were each competing in their respective contest for the second time – Sammy in Royal Showmanship and Brad in Supreme Showmanship.

“I felt relieved. I was more nervous, it was heavier on my shoulders because I got reserve champion last year and everyone was expecting grand champion,” Sammy, a junior at Hamilton Southeastern High School, said. “It gave me an idea of what all the judges were looking for.”

“It felt good just getting into it,” Brad said. “It was a lot easier this time around. I had no idea how to show beef or dairy cows and horse was a disaster (in 2011).”

Royal Showmanship winners from rabbits, poultry, cats, llamas, dogs and Pygmy goat projects compete to master the showmanship techniques not only of their own animal, but of all six species. Supreme Showmanship includes senior showmen from meat goats, dairy goats, beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, sheep and horses. A qualified judge from each species puts the contestants through their paces with each animal – never knowing for certain which 4-H’ers won

which species. Judges score the participants based on their handling of the animal and rank them accordingly.

Brad previously competed in Supreme Showmanship in 2011. He tied Megan Pickering and LJ Young as this year’s winners.

“It’s a great way to end my 10 years,” Brad, who recently graduated from HSE, said.

Each was on hand to watch the other and was just as happy for their sibling as they were on their own win.

“I jumped out of my seat and hollered,” Brad said. “I was excited. She was there to win it, and I knew she’d do well.”

“I was still nervous, just as much as when I competed in Royal. I told him, ‘No pressure but I won so you have to now,’” Sammy said. “When I heard his name, I was so surprised and happy for him. He went in trying to be relaxed – whatever happens, happens. He just wanted to get in it.”

Both Russell siblings show Pygmy goats, meat goats and poultry. Brad also shows swine and dairy goats. The siblings said the other has been there to support them.

“We showed the same animals, sometimes in the same class. I would do what he’s doing. He was always giving me tips,” Sammy said.

“It’s just fun to work with somebody else raising the animals – to have a great relationship,” Brad said.

Music Works debuts FWS

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Fishers Music Works is picking up the tempo.

On August 10, the local music collective is holding its third show concerts at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Dr., from 7 to 9 p.m.

Debuting at this concert is the Fishers Wind Symphony, featuring 45 players.

Another one of the umbrella organization’s music groups to be up and playing, Keith Kunda, music director, said the Fishers Wind Symphony will play Americana, starting off, of course, with the National Anthem.

“In keeping with a long standing tradition, we’ll be starting with the National Anthem, almost an automatic for any band concert,” he said. “Then they’ll be hearing music by Bernstein, Charles Ives, as well as marches – just an overall theme of Americana.”

Even though the symphony’s performance will start out with a patriotic flair, Kunda said that doesn’t necessarily mean every song will be that way, citing music by American composers and tunes from Broadway in the mix.

Joining the Fishers Wind Symphony for the concert will be the Nickel Plate Jazz Orchestra. The smaller ensemble played its first concert at the amphitheater in May.

The new symphony boasts a wide range of musicians from the community.

Kunda said the group has band directors, high school students, new high school graduates, students home from college, professionals and amateurs.

“It’s a really good group of people,” he said.

Kunda described the involvement of local band directors from the high schools and Riverside Junior High School as an “overwhelming positive.”

“Their participation is just such an encouragement knowing that they want this kind of thing to happen in Fishers,” he said, “and not just happen for their students, but happen so that they can be part of it, too, as players.”

On Fishers Music Works’ radar is the establishment of a Fishers Chamber Orchestra, which Kunda said will require funding to compensate string players.

While the amphitheater has been a recurring host of Fishers Music Works, Rob Lawyer, executive director, and Kunda said Christ the Savior Lutheran Church, 10500 E. 126th St., will host starting this October for the fall and winter seasons.

“If things work out, there’s a good possibility in 2014 in the winter season that we’ll debut, hopefully, the orchestra,” Lawyer said.

The coolest backyard ever – Natural Light Patio Covers There’s nowhere anyone would rather be on a beautiful summer day than the backyard deck, in a comfortable chair, sipping a cool drink. And yet, this idyllic scenario can so easily be spoiled if the sun is too hot and too direct.

There are dozens of solutions to block the sun, but nothing is as effective or rewarding as a Natural Light Patio Cover.

Imbued with almost magical qualities, the covers block all U.V. rays and 75 per cent of infrared rays, while letting through most of the light. The result is a cool setting that is still filled with natural light. There isn’t a giant solid awning casting a shadow not only on the deck but on the room behind the adjacent windows.

There isn’t a large umbrella that has to be folded down every time the wind picks up. And there isn’t a retractable sunshade that has to be cranked into position every time someone wants to sit outside.

Natural Light Patio Covers use Acrylite panels to filter out heat and U.V. while letting the light shine through, to create the perfect patio atmosphere. They can be attached to homes to cover decks and patios, or built as stand-alone covers detached entirely from the house.

They are permanent structures, engineered specifically for the Indianapolis climate to take the wind and snow without buckling or showing signs of wear. The see-through panels do not discolour or show any effect from U.V. rays. In short, they are the perfect way to ensure your backyard experience is ideal all spring, summer and fall for many years to come.

“We can even build enclosures to create three-season rooms,” says Cory Clapper, the Indianapolis sale consultant of the covers. “People have all sorts of uses for this technology,” he says. “We can build almost any kind of structure to fit in with a backyard plan.”

The Acrylite comes in two-foot wide panels that can be as long as 24 feet. Glazing bars between them provide structural support and can be formed into a single slope or cathedralstyle ceiling.

“When you look up through the panels, they are a sky blue colour,” Clapper says. “It’s like you’re looking at the sky.”

The aluminum structure itself comes in four colours and all Patio Covers include eaves troughs just like the roof of a house.

“The manufacturer guarantees the engineering of the panels, which are made in Germany, for 30 years not to fade or discolour, and has a 10 year warranty against hail damage,” Clapper says. “So, people can expect their covers to last 30 years or more. It’s a quality product.”

The structures are not inexpensive, but Clapper uses an integrity pricing system that keeps costs as low as possible. He provides free estimates and plans to run several open houses in London this summer, inviting interested homeowners to tour houses where he has installed a Patio Cover already.“When people see them and feel how cool they are standing there in the bright sunlight, they are amazed,” he says.

The company’s website features several options and configurations and as well as testimonials from happy customers who are already enjoying their Natural Light Patio Cover this summer.

Weingardt won’t run for Mayor

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

Fishers Town Council President John Weingardt will not be entering the race to be Fishers’ first mayor. politics Weingardt was elected president of the council at the group’s Jan. 7 meeting this winter as the first president on what was set to be a rotating system of council presidents until the first mayor was elected and came into office.

He told Current in January that his goals for his one year as Fishers Town Council President were to define a downtown for Fishers as well as create more jobs.

“People wanted a full-time mayor,” Weingardt said, “and I’d have to back away from my CPA firm significantly and there were concerns from my partners that my firm could suffer by me stepping back in that fashion.”

He said he will likely run for city council.

But like most political contests (including last winter’s referenda that decided Fishers’ future as a second class city), endorsements are part of the race.

“There is an individual running for mayor, I think, that I will be endorsing wholeheartedly that will be coming out in the very near future,” he said.

Weingardt said that from a calendar perspective the race will likely start heating up around Labor Day.

John Weingardt will likely seek a city council seat, but not the Mayor’s role. (File photo)

“I really see the machine really start to move right about Labor Day,” he said.

Weingardt said he hopes the community “thoroughly vets” the mayoral candidates and that there is high voter turnout.

“We as leaders need to make sure we give them opportunities to meet the candidates and talk to them so they can make a good decision,” he said.

Former Fishers Town Council President and Councilor Walter Kelly is the only candidate to have formally announced his candidacy for mayor of Fishers.

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com A long-standing Hamilton County event is coming to Fishers this August, and it is bringing foot – and paw – traffic with it.

The Humane Society Cover story for Hamilton County is holding its biggest event, Dog Day Afternoon featuring Woofstock, in Fishers on Aug. 24 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Dr. “The day is a celebration of all things canine, understanding the proceeds, that a lot of money we raise will help, of course, the cats and dogs,” Rebecca Stevens, Humane Society of Hamilton County executive director and Fishers resident, said.

Stevens said the organization expects 4,000 attendees, as well as 500 to 1,000 pooches on the premises.

In addition to the people and pooches, she said some pet-owners bring their cats out for the event in strollers.

“A lot of people would actually come out with their cats, which is a hoot, because you see them pushing a stroller with this cat that’s harnessed in,” she said.

An event that features live music, kids’ activities, food and vendors, it will be held in Fishers for the first time this year after being held in various locations in Carmel and what was called at the time the Verizon Wireless Music Center, now Klipsch Music Center, in Noblesville.

‘Dog Day’ Afternoon coming to town Aug. 24

Why move to Fishers?

“We wanted to celebrate in all of the different areas if possible,” she said. “This is a brand-new venue, essentially. I’m biased, I live in Fishers. I thought, Let’s check out this venue and let’s do it here. Let’s give everybody an opportunity.”

She said that there is sometimes a perception that the organization is a Noblesville shelter, when in actuality it serves the entire county.

Tony Elliot, Town of Fishers director of parks and recreation, said the Humane Society’s event will add diversity to programming with many summer events at the amphitheater being geared specifically toward music.

“It might very well be our largest event of the whole summer,” he said.

But hosting large events at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater won’t be a new challenge for the town to handle.

Elliot said the biggest crowd for the Fishers Summer Concert Series held on Tuesday nights hit 4,500 people.

“It’s (Humane Society for Hamilton County) a group that we have a tremendous amount of respect for,” he said.

Whatever size crowd comes out, everyone

will have plenty to do.

The Kid’s Corner will include Silly Safaris, which features different kinds of animals, including reptiles. Of course, live music takes the stage all day, and food and vendors will be on the scene. Activities for pooches, including pawpainting, will be available as well.

“There’s something for everybody, literally as cheesy as that sounds,” Stevens said, “and for a very inexpensive cost to spend a Saturday helping out animals who are less fortunate.”

One of the day’s events, the Starbucks Parade of Paws, is a “solidarity walk” that raises money for the organization’s Survivor Program, which -Tony Elliot provides animals with lifesaving care, whether they were hit by a car or need treatment for heart worms, according to Stevens.

People can raise money online by donating or creating their own page at www.crowdrise. com/pop2013.

What’s Stevens’ favorite part of the whole experience?

Recognizing happy, adopted dogs from the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

Know thyself, first Commentary by Terry Anker Several years ago, my body decided that it was no longer equipped to process the boundless array of empty calories that my brain seemed to enjoy so much. While Cheetos probably aren’t an appropriate food for a 35-year-old man anyway, I did enjoy them. And for much of my life, the pounds that they might have added were dispersed through the activities of my daily life. I played competitive adult basketball, ran to and fro, and lived what might be known in the current lexicon as the active lifestyle. Yet almost by stealth attack, the bulge continues to expand.

Once I resigned myself to the fact that no amount of willpower could force my metabolism to return to its former pace, I began to look for other mechanisms to tame the ever advancing fat. Chief among them was a simple habit of weighing myself each and every morning before taking a shower. Seeing a daily number appear helped me associate a connection between my

actions and my weight. While it may not be for everyone, it did help me remain aware and therefore motivated. And, it has remained a useful tool even as I slide further into middle-age.

In a conversation with a younger friend recently, he was asking for tactics to begin his own path to age-appropriate fitness, but his ego dreaded the experience of knowing his starting number. I asked, “If you don’t know where you are, how can you ever hope to know how to get to where you want to be?”

Why do we so mightily resist understanding where we are in our relationships, in our jobs, and with our health? If it is true that ignorance is bliss, why is it so often that the ignorant are the first victims of their own disinterest?

You might have read last week that the United States Postal Service could be in for a major overhaul by 2022. U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said the move could make for a “21st-century postal service.” That’s fine, but shouldn’t the USPS become a 20th-century organization beforehand?

The headlines: Door-to-door service for homes and businesses, as well as all Saturday deliveries (except for medicines) would be eliminated. Curbside and cluster-box deliveries, such as those most Current readers already have, would become the norm. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (yes, we are laughing about that panel’s title; laugh with us) said the makeover would save $6.5 billion annually; that’s $4.5 billion for doorto-door and $2 billion for Saturday delivery.

Actually, it’s a decent move if it means taxpayers won’t be on the hook for a massive bailout, but, as we all know, that remains to be seen.

It makes good business sense to downsize, or “right-size,” the operation. After all, it’s a Titanic-like disaster now, and we all know it took only one captain to plink the iceberg and send that grand dame down. The wailing and gnashing of teeth you’re hearing, though, predictably is from the National Association of Letter Carriers (read: union), which claims such a reorganization would be tremendously harmful to small businesses, the elderly and folks living in regions with extreme weather. That’s a bunch of bunk. We’ll adapt, because there’ll be no other choice. Look, we’ve adapted to the decay of the postal service thus far, so shifting to following a streamlined version that doesn’t soak us for the tab shouldn’t be much of a problem. As much as we hate to admit it, the whole thing just makes too much sense.

Lose ‘Lost’ and join the ‘Thrones’ Commentary by Danielle WIlson

My husband and I don’t watch much television. Apart from “Glee,” “Sports Center” and the occasional “30 Rock” rerun, humor we’re mostly too busy shuttling kids to and from their various practices, meetings and games. We also don’t subscribe to the movie channels, so aren’t able to catch the R-rated stuff like “Mad Men.” But this summer, we decided to plug in to pop culture, albeit a few years late, and download both the entire series of ABC’s “Lost” and the last three seasons of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

Doo stayed up late for literally a week straight and finished the latter before I could even see the pilot. I got so angry with him that I made him wait to start “Lost” until we both had the time. We are now six episodes in to “Lost,” but frankly, I’m not “getting it.” I like looking at Matthew Fox and that Sawyer fellow, and the scenery is beautiful, but honestly, what’s the big deal? I’ve been told to hold out a few more episodes, that the plot thickens very shortly, but honestly, “Lost” pretty much sucks now that I’ve begun “Thrones.”

Sweet. Mercy. Baby dragons, arctic zombies and creepy old warlocks. Gratuitous violence, full frontal nudity, and British-accented foul language. Is it any wonder that I am now completely addicted to this medieval fantasy epic?

No kidding, I forgot to feed my children yester-

day. And the best part is that you never know who they’re going to kill off. Could be a character they’ve just introduced, could be the lead you’ve known since the beginning. It’s both horrible and awesome at the same time.

I also appreciate how “Throne’s” writers (or possibly the author of the book it’s based on; I’m not sure how closely the series follows George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Fire and Ice”) have made the women the real powerhouses. Behind every king wannabe and knight in bloodied armor is a female mastermind, using her seductive wiles to manipulate, plot, and ultimately control the playing field. Sure the ladies are usually naked, but any smart viewer can recognize who’s ultimately in control. (You go, Khaleesi!) Plus, there is no shortage of amazing redheaded characters, saving the world per our usual M.O. and making it look good in the process.

If you don’t watch “Game of Thrones,” I highly recommend downloading the first few episodes.

You’ll probably be offended, disgusted and embarrassed, but if you are anything like me and appreciate stay-cations through television, you’ll also be incredibly entertained. Peace out.

Hypnotized one kernal at a time Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

After three decades of togetherness, my wife and I have some serious questions about whether our relationship can really humor continue any longer when we have such a fundamental disagreement about one aspect of our marital life: popcorn.

Everything about popcorn from the moment we get in the car to go to the movies to the point when the movie has ended creates a disharmony in our otherwise perfect union.

“You’re not going to get popcorn this time, are you, Mary Ellen? We’re going out for a very expensive dinner right after the movie.”

“I have to. It’s been a movie tradition for me since high school.”

“So was necking in the balcony, but we’ve cut that out almost completely.”

Once we reach the theater, the tension rises.

“Dick, I’ll find a seat. You wait in line for the popcorn.”

“Why do I have to wait in line? I don’t want popcorn. And when I come into the dark theater you’ll forget to look around for me and I’ll walk aimlessly up and down the aisles while people stare at me and assume I’m all alone and have no one to sit with.

Of course, I do wait in line. I buy the popcorn and a drink.

Fur bearing thieves beware

Commentary by Mike Redmond

Tamara Dickerson, MD Brian Aguilar, MD

“Why did you get the extra large, Dick? You know we can’t eat all that.”

“Because the extra large is only 50 cents more than the small and you get five times more popcorn. I already feel like I’m getting ripped off, and I don’t want them to get away with it. Did you know that popcorn used to be a quarter?”

“Yes, and the people in the films are talking now.”

Another issue is that my wife is a bit of a health nut so she avoids butter and salt. But popcorn with no butter and salt? You have to be kidding. Why not just tear up Styrofoam into tiny pieces and put them into a bag? Enjoy. It’ll taste the same.

And then there’s eating the popcorn. My wife takes one piece from the top of the box with two fingers, then places the popcorn in her mouth where she lets it melt on her tongue. Mary Ellen claims this gets her into a rhythm to understand and enjoy the movie. I believe this technique is practiced by a satanic cult in Utah. My wife’s right arm moves up and down next to my face about 1,100 times during the movie. I don’t remember any films I’ve seen with her because I’m hypnotized through most of them.

I grow a pretty good vegetable garden, if I do say so myself, and like any good gardener I am always happy to share humor the bounty. I always plant too much anyway, so it only makes sense that I offer what I have to friends and neighbors. Especially zucchini. I always plant too much zucchini.

There is one group, however, with which I do not willingly share even so much as a green tomato. The members of this group are rude, demanding and annoying, and frequently just help themselves to whatever they want, to the fruits of my labor, without so much as a by-your-leave.

I speak, of course, of squirrels. Those pushy little bushy-tailed rats are the bane of the urban gardener’s existence.

Right now, they seem to be exceedingly fond of cucumbers. I planted a small plot this year, just enough for fresh cukes on the table and maybe a few bowls of quick pickles.

Well, the squirrels are putting my cucumber plans asunder. If I leave cukes on the vine to get a little size, eight inches or so, they wind up with big holes gnawed in them. And occasionally the smaller ones, the three or four-inch ones, wind up on Mister Squirrel’s salad plate as well. You’d think they had little bottles of ranch dressing up in the trees.

It’s not that I can’t tolerate a little loss. Any gardener worth his fertilizer knows that you’re

going to incur some loss to weather and pests.

But outright theft is another matter entirely.

Last year, during the drought, I was a little more inclined to be charitable toward our furbearing neighbors. They were raiding the tomatoes then in a desperate search for water and, being a soft-hearted type, I was willing to go along with it. I didn’t even yell (much) when they all but denuded my one and only vine of Russian Krims, my favorite tomato. I figured I could always go to a farmer’s market to buy some heirlooms but squirrels don’t have that option.

No pockets to carry money, you see.

This year, though, when it rains every day for weeks, there is no drought and to my mind, no reason for them to plead thirst when raiding my vegetables. Thieves, that’s all they are – little fur-bearing thieves.

Of course, it could be said that by planting a garden I have created what the lawyers call an attractive nuisance, which is the long way of saying I created my own problem, and the squirrels were unable to resist. I’m willing to consider that up to the point where the Russian Krims are involved. Then it’s nuisance, shmuisance, stay out of my tomatoes. And my cukes.

Indy Jazz Fest swings into Conner Prairie

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com On Friday, Aug. 2 and Saturday, Aug. 3, the Indianapolis Symphony will feature a first for the Marsh Symconner prair1e phony on the Prairie series. Jazz will be the featured music when Indy Jazz Fest will present “A Salute to Indiana Composers” on the Conner Prairie Amphitheatre stage at 8 p.m.

Some of the finest musicians and singers in the state will take to the stage to pay tribute to great composers of Indiana such as Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, Michael Jackson, as well as jazz titans Freddie Hubbard and Wes Montgomery. This will mark the first time in the 32-year history of Symphony on the Prairie that jazz will be the headliner of the series. For a city that is as rich in jazz history as Indianapolis, it is hard to imagine that jazz has only now found its way onto that stage.

So, why has it taken 32 years for the ISO to bring jazz to the series? ISO Director of Communications Jessica Di Santo had the same question in mind.

“I wondered how we could have missed jazz,” she said. “For the last 32 years, we have had all genres of music, but not the tried and true genre of jazz. Jazz just seemed like such a natural fit. It’s a common language. Jazz is familiar, friendly, and open. Jazz can inspire. Seeing so many young people there, some of them experi-

encing jazz for the first time is truly amazing.”

Di Santo also gave credit to Indy Jazz Fest Director David Allee for organizing the concert.

Allee, himself an accomplished jazz trumpeter, is also the owner and operator of the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis.

“He has been wonderful,” Di Santo said. “He has done so much as the creator and the producer of the event. He has really organized it for

us. We have a slate of the very best talent in this genre of music.”

The gates to the amphitheater will open at 6 p.m. each evening. Tickets are priced at $23 in advance and $28 at the gate for adults, $12 for children ages 2-12 in advance and $14 at the gate. For more information on Symphony on the Prairie including ticket and parking pass information, visit www.indianapolissymphony.org.

Fit Fest to benefit Riverview

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

You won’t know you really worked out till TOMORROW!

Forest Park and Forest Park Aquatic Center will host a multi-dimensional event featuring something for every age wellness and fitness level on Aug. 17. The inaugural Noblesville Fit Fest is being presented by Gordon Insurance and staged by America Multi-Sport.

“This unique festival and race event combination promises to be a boon to the entire Hamilton County community with the goals of encouraging our friends and neighbors to adopt a healthier lifestyle,” Fit Fest Coordinator Kym Flannery said.

Fit Fest events, which are USAT sanctioned events, include a Sprint Triathlon (400 yard swim, 20.6K bike and 5K run), Sprint Duathlon (1K run, 20.6K bike and 5K run), Sprint Aquabike (400 meter swim and 20.5K bike), 5K Run/Walk (3.1 Miles), Kids Aquathon (ages 4-6, 7-11 and 12-14), and a Sprint Aquathon (400m swim and 5k run). Events begin at 8 a.m.

Want to participate but have little ones? Flannery said the races have something no other Triathlon event she’s heard of offers: a “Kids Corral” featuring licensed teachers from the Goddard School of Noblesville providing age appropriate activities for children ages three and up.

“Put one foot in front of the other and make a difference,” Rebecca Gordon of Gordon Insurance said.

Each event has a fee and Gordon said all pro-

ceeds will be donated to the Riverview Hospital Foundation.

“We all live here and if we ever end up there, I want to know they have what they need,” Gordon said.

“We’re so excited the Gordon family is dedicated to continuing to support and be philanthropic to Riverview,” Trish Oman, Riverview Hospital Foundation director, said. “Fit Fest ties in very nicely. The hospital is about wellness and keeping people healthy and fit.”

When the athletes get to the finish line, they and their families can enjoy a family-friendly, fitness-oriented festival featuring a “Vendor Village.” In addition to the healthy food, beverage, product and service offerings, guests can check out the “How To” stage sponsored by Sparta where the curious can observe and try out all manner of fitness activities.

For more information, visit www.NoblesvilleFitFest.com, email noblesvillefitfestinfo@gmail. com or call 408-4234. To register for race events visit www.americamultisport.com/events/noblesville-fitness-festival. To be guaranteed an event T-shirt, participants must register by Aug. 6.

Q: I have read a lot recently about stem cells and their potential rejuvenative properties. It seems logical surgery that if our body is full of them that they can be used to treat a lot of problems including aging. I see some plastic surgeons offer a stem cell facelift. Does this really work?

cells (300 to 500 times more than bone marrow), that does not necessarily mean that they work as we would like or hope. The popularity of stem cells is largely because of the ability to harvest fat through liposuction as a source for stem cells. It is fairly easy to ‘recycle’ the liposuctioned fat and put it back into the patient as an injection with the assumption that tissues of the face can be rejuvenated.

Numerous anectodal claims are made about such injections as creating youthfulness, adding permanent volume and improving the appearance of the skin. This has led to a number of touted procedures carrying such names as the stem cell facelifts. Despite their appeal, there is no medical evidence by published clinical studies that proves that it actually works.

Most of the time, such stem cell injections are really nothing more than fat injections that unavoidably contain some stem cells. It is the fat that creates any volumetric or lifting effect and not the stem cells that it may contain. While such ‘stem cell’ injections are unlikely to be harmful, they have not been proven to have anti-aging effects.

How will new mandates affect me?

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from John L. from Noblesville: I currently get health insurance for my family through my employer. I Insurance know changes are coming from health reform, but is there anything particular that I need to worry about?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Health reform has a lot of folks concerned and confused.

The main piece of the legislation that will affect nearly everyone is the individual mandate that requires you to buy health insurance. If you like the insurance that your employer provides, you are considered covered and can stick with that program. You may also be able to switch to publicly available coverage eventually if you choose, but all that is still being figured out.

Any employer health plan you currently have qualifies as minimum essential coverage. You don’t need to change to a publicly available plan to avoid the fee that uninsured people may have to pay in 2014. If you’d like to explore publicly available coverage options, you can, but there are several important things to consider.

With most employer health insurance plans, your employer pays a portion of your premiums.

Your employer does not need to make a contribu-

tion to your premiums if you switch away from their plan. You should consider this carefully before comparing your current plan to publicly available plans.

If you decide to check out publicly available plans, be aware that you may not qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs, even if your income would qualify you otherwise.

Whether you qualify for lower costs will depend on what kind of coverage your employer offers. If your job-based coverage is considered affordable and meets minimum value, you won’t be able to get lower costs on premiums or outof-pocket costs in the marketplace. This is true no matter your income and family size.

Your employer can tell you whether the insurance plan it offers meets minimum value and help you determine whether the plan is considered affordable for you. You can also contact your independent insurance agent if you have further questions or if you lose your employer’s insurance plan and need to see what is available.

Antioch the birthplace of Christianity?

Commentary by Don Knebel

For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US

A small cave in the mountainside above the city of Antakya in southern Turkey may well be the oldest church in the world, Travel dating to the earliest days of Christianity. It was also in or near this cave that early Christians argued over a matter that proved crucial to the ultimate success of Christianity.

In the first century, Antakya, then known as Antioch, was the third largest city in the world.

According to the Bible, Paul and Barnabas spent a year in Antioch recruiting new followers of Jesus, where those followers were first called “Christians.” Exactly where in Antioch those early Christians may have met is impossible to determine, but a natural cave on the side of Mount Starius has long been thought to be that place.

Not everything in the cave goes back to the time of Paul and Barnabas. But a watery hole in the cave floor long used for baptisms may have existed in the first century and a narrow passage to the outside might have been used by early Christians to escape the Romans.

While in Antioch, Paul taught that circumcision was not necessary for Gentiles who wanted to follow Jesus. James, the brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem, disagreed and sent a delegation to Antioch to try to convince Paul that he was wrong. Paul eventually won the argument. With the requirement of circumcision

no longer an impediment to gaining non-Jewish followers, Paul set off from Antioch on the missionary journeys that eventually spread Christianity to the far reaches of the Roman Empire.

Roman Catholics have identified Peter as the first bishop of Antioch, which became an important city in the early church. So the cave church in Antioch, although founded by Paul and Barnabas, is now named for Peter.

Many sites traditionally associated with early events in Christian history are suspect at best.

But the cave in Antakya has sufficient indicia of authenticity that it may legitimately be considered the place where Paul broke Christianity away from its Jewish moorings to become a religion of the Gentiles.

MAKEUP FOR TEENS Most young women are obsessed with makeup but they often don’t have the knowledge or confidence to make it work.

Teens love trying trendy colors and textures, but a fresh, young face should never be smothered in makeup.

Teens should skip an all over foundation.

Cover blemishes with a blemish stick and then dab on powder in the oily T-zone, but avoid slathering on a heavy, liquid foundation.

Makeup should also not be used to look older. This can result in an unnatural, harsh look. Keeping colors light and sheer will ensure the fresh, youthful glow still shines through.

Trick of the Trade: To avoid drawing attention to braces, skip bright lip colors!

Stick to a tinted lip balm or sheer gloss.

Maybe you always wondered…

Commentary by David Decker

Q. How often should I water my lawn?

A. Generally, twice a week unless we are receiving regular rain. outdoors Overwatering promotes a weak, topical root system that can’t respond to prolonged droughts without wasteful daily watering.

Q. Is there a secret to controlling weed growth in paver patios?

A. No secret, but it can be very annoying. Polymeric sand in the joints of the patio material helps considerably. Beyond that, arm yourself with your favorite herbicide and spray upon first sight. The majority of weed growth is caused by weed seed blowing in from your neighbors lawn or happy birds dropping presents.

Q. Should I seal my new patio to protect it?

A. Concrete and stamped concrete need sealing immediately after installation. Most pavers and natural stone do not require sealing, although a satin finish sealer can prompt the colors to pop.

Q. What’s the difference between a brick versus a paver patio?

A. Spelling only. We use the brick/paver as generic terminology, although officially a brick refers to the material used to face a home, which is not suitable for a patio surface.

Q. Is there a standard for design fees?

A. I wish. We see design fees from complimentary to more than $100 per hour. As usual, the

According to Chris Lemcke, technical director at Weed Man, sprinkle animal fur, hair or cayenne pepper throughout the yard to ward them, and other critters like raccoons and skunks, off. – www.living.msn.com

Midwest follows the lead of Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte, etc. which have been confidently charging design fees for years, as our company does.

Q. Any easy tips to transform my stale outdoor living space without ripping out everything?

A. Retrofitting is a great strategy that encourages us to tweak your present patio material and upgrade the landscape. Adding dramatic flowering pots and updated colorful furniture is invaluable. Never underestimate the value of a new outdoor rug or colorful cantilever umbrella.

Lawnmower be gone – Pushing around a lawnmower all day can get tiresome and boring.

Granite and quartz are both good decorating options but for different reasons. (Submitted photo)

Going with granite and quartz Commentary by David Decker

One of the most frequently asked questions we get asked at the Affordable Companies is whether a homeowner indoors should choose granite or quartz for their home improvement project. So what is the difference between the two materials?

Granite is a naturally occurring material that is mined from the earth in large pieces, but later broken down into slabs. These granite slabs are then treated to a fine polish using a polyurethane sealer or resin. Each piece of granite is 100-percent unique. The color, grain and overall look of the stone will vary from slab to slab, even if they have been mined from the same quarry. The key to granite’s enduring popularity is its durability. If you keep your granite properly cleaned and sealed, spills and stains should not be an issue.

Quartz, on the other hand, is engineered from a combination of stone, composites and resins.

Like granite, quartz is a naturally occurring stone element. But because quartz products are partially manufactured, they have the ability to look much more uniform than granite. One of the biggest benefits would be the low maintenance factor. Quartz is nonporous, which means it will not absorb water and microbes. Additionally, it will not require sealing/re-sealing, which will save you time and money.

So now, with all of this background information on the two different types of stones, how do you go about choosing one that’s right for your specific project? The ideal stone choice will vary depending on usage and environmental factors.

Here are some things to keep in mind: • Granite is more heat resistant than quartz.

So you may want to select granite for kitchen countertops, if you are planning on setting hot pans directly on the stone.

• Because quartz does not need to be sealed and is nonporous, you may want to choose it for shower ledges, bathroom vanities or sink backsplashes.

• Quartz is a bit more scratch resistant than granite. This makes it a better fit for bar ledges or other high traffic areas that may be prone to damage.

• Because granite has natural variation, be careful to select material appropriately.

All in all, both granite and quartz countertops are going to add value to your home. They will both bring a polished, natural and impressive look to any space. The decision comes down to your personal preference and the needs of your specific space.
