OUR VIEWS

It is our position that these unusually dry times require special attention to our use of available resources. Even as many municipal utilities consider putting into place water usage limitations, we should take it upon ourselves to manage our use responsibly so we can make it through these hot, arid days of August. While circumstances may not require consideration every time the tap or garden hose is in use, careful and intentional use only makes sense. Attention to the cycle of lawn watering (evenings, not noon) and other conservation tactics are especially appropriate in these times. Cutting back can have a considerable positive impact. Although we do not believe that rationing or other restrictions on the free market are necessarily the solution, more thoughtful use of water only ensures plenty to keep plants alive and golf courses green. Saving water now will help prevent utilities departments from issuing water usage limitations in the future. In the meantime, we can hope for cooler days and a summer shower or two. July went down as one of the driest in Indiana’s history, but our collective effort can help make it tolerable.

Humane thinking

It is our position that, whenever possible, potential pet owners should look to the Humane Society for Hamilton County for the adoption of new family members instead of pet stores and breeders. Because the HSHC cannot turn away animals for any reason, the population at the shelter is always at or near maximum capacity with nearly 500 pets currently ready for adoption. The current economic situation and pet owners leaving for summer vacation has caused a flood of pets to be surrendered or abandoned recently, and the Humane Society needs willing citizens to adopt or foster pets to help with the overcrowding. Specialty breeds can be appealing, because you can choose specific features, size, etc. However, those animals can be expensive and are bred based on the demand of the public. While families may have a specific breed in mind to add to their brood, please consider looking at the HSHC for a pet to love. The Humane Society does a great service for our community, and we should rally around them in support as its populations are soaring. Contact the Humane Society at 773-4974.

St.V plans a major step for community St.Vincent Health is going to make a major move to benefit the community. Its announcement last week for a 40-bed addition to St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast is viewed here as a significant development in the health-care options for the northeast corridor of Hamilton County and beyond.

Road trip stories I won’t forget COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I just returned from Colorado with the fam, and oh, the stories I could tell. Like our 10-year-old son urinating into a water bottle on a cog railcar halfway up Pike’s Peak. Awesome. Or losing our oldest for an hour while hiking Tenderfoot Mountain. Not so awesome. But I’d rather share the fun that can happen only when you drive 3,000 miles in a Dodge Caravan. Because let’s face it, family road trips not only make great movies, but also great memories. My daughters and I decided to rank restroom facilities, and a Shell just outside Kansas City took the prize. At 3:30 a.m., we were pleasantly surprised by its cleanliness, smell and lovely fresh floral arrangements. The worst, hands down, was at Country Boy Mine, where the original 19th-century outhouse has been left in all, and I do mean all, its authentic glory. “There’s more than gold in them thar hills!” Doo drew the short stick when it came to driving from Colorado Springs to Aspen via Independence Pass. This is a road that takes you over the Continental Divide at 12,110 feet. It bullies you with narrow lanes, steep grades, switchbacks out the wazoo, and then steals your lunch money with no guard rails. I cowered under a sweatshirt while Doo fought nausea and vertigo to get us safely up and down. I can admit to at least two pairs of underwear that’ll never be the same again.

By Courtney Stiehl editorial@youarecurrent.com The 2011 National Softball Association Girls Fast Pitch “B” World Series brought over 265 teams to Hamilton County, where it was held, for the national tournament. The series of games, which lasted throughout the last week of July, brought in an estimated $5.9 million in direct spending to the area, according to a news release. William Knox, the Director of Hamilton County Sports Authority, said the calculation is based on approximately 16,000 visitors from around the country coming to the area, inevitably spending money at hotels, restaurants and shopping. “The other day I saw a couple teams head out to a restaurant,” he said. “Everyone’s going to be doing that.” Softball fields in Fishers, Noblesville and Carmel were all utilized for the tournament. Knox said all of these communities will see benefits from these teams in their town. Beyond the gain of direct spending, he said the tournament encouraged the cities to bring their fields up to “championship standards” for the event. He said a lot of time and money was put into the affected areas by these towns. “Adding that extra umph really got the fields at their absolute best,” he said.

Fate found my childish behavior on Independence Pass funny, so she presented me with my own opportunities to commit vehicular manslaughter. The first was a nerve-wracking drive over Vail Pass through nighttime torrential rain and violent lightning at 10,000 feet, and the second was a monster hail storm in Cheyenne that hit without warning. The sudden cacophonous white-out had me screeching to a halt and hyperventilating Le Maz-style until the adrenaline shakes subsided.“Mom-my!” In addition to the usual Alphabet Game, Find All 50 License Plates, and Twenty Questions, my little entrepreneurs invented a new family road game: Mini-Van Mall. We had “Tattoo Me,” obviously an ink parlor, and “Where Dreams Come True,” a combo tat/massage joint. The girls employed the boys, one as an “artiste” and the other as, I kid you not, a mall cop. They “printed” their own money and covered each other in ballpoint pen drawings, but their endeavors kept squabbles to a minimum for a solid three hours. So we didn’t complain. Viva la NAFTA! So here’s to the family road trip! Peace out.

Fishers Kiwanis Club calling out for new members By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Children are priority one for the Kiwanis Club, said Fishers club president Rick Fain. Now entering its 30th year, the Kiwanis Club of Fishers Station continues serving the community, and hopes to bolster its ranks with a few good men (and women). An invitational meeting in July was the first of several events the club hopes to have to attract more attention to itself and its cause. For those who are new to the area, members say it’s a great opportunity to get involved in community service while meeting new people. “I’m not originally from Fishers,” said Fain. “Nobody is. Kiwanis was a good way to meet the community and get involved in children’s charities.” Kiwanis projects range from fundraisers for Prevail, Inc., Riley Children’s Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House, to operating the Kid-

Zone at the Fishers Renaissance Faire. Their biggest annual event, however, is an Easter egg hunt at Roy G. Holland Memorial Park. In 2010 alone, the club stuffed more than 14,000 Easter eggs with candy. Incoming vice president Chad Gerrard said Kiwanis stuck out from the many other service organizations for him because of how Gerrard tight-knit the group was. “It’s more of an intimate group,” he said. “There’s a successful Rotary Club in Fishers, but when I came to this club, there were really just eight or nine members who came regularly.” Gerrard said he was also encouraged to join by former town council member Art Levine, who described it as the “do-gooders” club. “It’s specifically a service organization, and that’s what attracted me,” Gerrard said. The club meets regularly on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month at the Fishers Library. All club meetings are open to the public.

St.Vincent Health and Town of Fishers announce expansion plans Current in Fishers Today, St. Vincent Health and Town of Fishers officials publicly announced expansion plans for St. Vincent Medical Center Northeast to a 40-bed inpatient hospital. Medical Center Northeast, located at 13914 Southeastern Parkway at the intersection of Olio Road, will focus on wellness - women’s health and family health - for patients and families of Fishers, Noblesville and Carmel communities. The expansion of St. Vincent Medical Center Northeast will encompass 30 medical/surgical beds, 10 medical observation beds and 10 labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum rooms. Development plans also include spa-like amenities, indoor and outdoor dining, and 24-hour room service for patients and families. The 110,000-square foot inpatient expansion is projected to create more than 200 new jobs for Fishers, with the opportunity for more as the hospital continues to grow. Construction for the inpatient facility is set to begin in September 2011. “The expansion of the medical center to include inpatient services will ensure our focus on women’s health and family health as the market continues to grow,” said Kevin Speer, system vice president and chief strategy officer of St. Vincent Health. “We have listened to the community, so it is imperative that we grow by expanding our services and partnerships for the community.” In 2008, the faith-based health system

www.youarecurrent.com

opened Indiana’s first freestanding emergency department at Medical Center Northeast in Fishers. In addition, the facility has an ambulatory surgery center, all-digital imaging center, and a medical office building including primary care offices, a pediatric and adult sleep disorders center, rehabilitation, laboratory and mental health services. “This expansion project is yet another sign of the healthy and thriving economic environment in our community,” said Scott Faultless, Fishers Town Council president. “We applaud St. Vincent Health for listening to the needs of the community and recognizing the growth opportunity in the Exit 10 corridor.” The Fishers exit 10 corridor encompasses 1,132 acres of largely undeveloped land extending east of the I-69 interchange. By recruiting companies in the high-growth sectors of the economy, the Town of Fishers hopes to enhance and broaden career opportunities in the Fishers community. St. Vincent officials have applied for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for healthcare construction for Medical Center Northeast. LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. Construction for the new inpatient facility is expected to be complete by December 2012.

The amendment will allow the developer to move forward with the construction of 12 single-family homes on the west side of the PUD, referred to as “Watersedge.” Previously, the area had been zoned for condominiums. The meeting was the first for the council since member Art Levine resigned his seat on July 21, citing family issues requiring him to move out of state. Levine’s seat will be filled by a meeting of Republican precinct committeemen within 30 days.

Backing up education COMMENTARY By Joan Isaac “If your name is Johnny, stand up. If your name is Brittany, stand up. If your name is Kelly, stand up.” Note: Children’s names have been changed to protect their identities. Those were the words I heard being sung by Mrs. Stewart as I entered her kindergarten classroom at Sheridan Elementary. I stood in the back of the classroom so proud of the moment as though each child was my own. The children learned some of the basic skills they’ll need to succeed in kindergarten from United Way. The kids were chosen to participate in the program because they lack preschool experience or low screening scores. In 2007, United Way launched its Kindergarten Countdown Program in two Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS). The three-step program to help families prepare kids for kindergarten consists of: 1. Registering your child on time for school. 2. Preparing your child to learn through talk, reading and play. 3. Making sure your child attends school on the first day. The program has shown phenomenal outcomes in IPS. The program’s core includes the free four-week summer camps for incoming kindergarteners. The camps help children build and strengthen skills they’ll need in school as phonetic awareness, letter and number recognition, shapes and colors along with social and behavioral skills. The camps take place in real kindergarten classrooms and are taught by certified kindergarten teachers. United Way expanded the program to Sheridan for the summer through community support and grants from Indiana University

Health and PNC. You may wonder why United Way is focused on education. Isn’t that the government’s job? Quite simply, we’re doing it because we see involvement in schools as a crucial building block for a better life. Sadly, one in three children in Central Indiana are born at an economic disadvantage. Of those, many have no access to quality child care, so they often start school behind and stay behind. In a county known for its prosperity, almost nine percent of children in Sheridan under 18 live in poverty. 35 percent of school children receive free or reduced price lunches at school. (This means family incomes less than $40,000). Per capita income is the lowest for all Hamilton County school districts. If you support United Way you should stand up and be proud that your generosity is helping Johnny, Brittany, Kelly and their 17 classmates get off to a strong start this school year. Thank you! We also want to help everyone who would like to get personally involved in the change by volunteering. Watch for opportunities to be a reader, mentor or tutor by visiting UWCI.org in the coming months. And, on local television stations, during commercial breaks at 7:30 p.m. on Tues., Sept. 6, we’ll spotlight stories of volunteers who are already giving their time to make a difference in the lives of children. Look for folks from IU Health at the Kindergarten Camp in Sheridan – on WISH TV 8! Joan Isaac is United Way of Central Indiana’s area director for Hamilton County.

Rolling out the welcome wagon By Scott Raychel editorial@youarecurrent.com Entrepreneurs Matt and Julie McCord want to help establish a connection between growing local businesses and their potential new customers. In order to do so, they have opened up their own WelcomeMat Services in Fishers. “My wife and I both have hearts for helping others,” said Matt McCord. “Locally-owned businesses have a harder time getting their footing, especially against bigger businesses.” WelcomeMat Services is a direct mail program that allows local businesses to reach out to residents who are new to the area by extending to them coupons, deals and invitations to try their new services. In return, businesses get the chance to expand their clientele, establish new business relationships and gather valuable demographic information. “We wanted to own our own business for quite some time,” said Matt. The McCords became interested in the WelcomeMat Servies after noticing the business in an article in the Indy Star about franchising. Matt, after experiencing the struggles of mov-

Soon after, he and his wife opened up their new WelcomeMat Services to help other locallyowned businesses. Offering advice for aspiring local business owners, Matt said it is well worth the risk. “Don’t be afraid to go after something you really want for your life,” said Matt. “I’ve been laid off twice, and getting back into the workforce was difficult. Taking the opportunity in front of you is a risk, but we went for it, and I encourage others to do the same.” More information on WelcomeMat Services can be found at their website: http://www.welcomematservices.com/

That ‘Aha!’ moment How Fishers resident April Morris turned a bright idea into a booming business By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com April Morris says her moment of inspiration came in the most everyday of situations: sitting at a stop light, reapplying her lip gloss. “I wondered, ‘Is there a way a smell or herb could be added to suppress appetite?’” Morris said. The question was a personal one for Morris. Having only recently moved to Indianapolis from Georgia, she attended a 2001 Christmas party with a very limited group of acquaintances. While Morris was in earshot, two of the few women she did know referred to her as “chubby.” Ten years later, Morris is the founder and CEO of Express Effects Cosmetics. Her flagship product, Thingloss, has achieved national distribution, was named “Best Innovation of the Year” by the Collegiate Idol Competition, and earned her a 2009 appearance on ABC’s “Shark Tank.” And she shows no signs of slowing down, with plans to move forward globally with Thingloss, and other as-yet unannounced products.

In 2006, her first year on the job, Morris made salesperson of the year. She was able to move her family to a newly built home in Fishers, and, she said, had enough to begin saving toward launching what would become Thingloss. Morris first began selling the product to friends and family, then started cold-calling retailers. Though her personal responses had been good, businesses were more skeptical, she said. “I was actually hung up on once,” Morris said. “But I just kept going. Failure was not an option for me.” Ever the eager pupil, Morris began studying sales and marketing, pointing to authors Brendan Burchard, Seth Godin and Jeffrey Gittomer as major influences. According to Morris, after implementing online marketing techniques learned in a Burchard seminar, she saw her online sales increase by 2,250 percent in a single week. “That’s the power of education and learning,” Morris said, adding that she has relied entirely on viral marketing to spread word of her product.

‘The way I was able to achieve any of this is that I began to study other successful people. I was determined to figure out a way where there seemed to be no way.”

- Arpil Morris

Building a better businesswoman

Feeding the sharks

“I’m a big believer in education,” Morris said. “You can duplicate the success you see in others, you just have to know the framework.” The foundation of that framework, Morris said, came in a “defining moment” in 1995 while working for a Georgia cosmetic company. “It was time for my annual raise,” Morris said. “I thought your raise corresponded to how hard you worked, so I worked hard the whole year to make money for the company. They told me my raise was 50 cents an hour, and I thought, ‘I’ll never be able to afford a house for myself and my kids like this.’” So Morris moved to Indianapolis, and, after a few more years of working in cosmetics, decided to take a more scientific approach toward success. Morris hit the books, researching average salaries for careers, pulling out those which required skillsets similar to hers. Eventually, she settled on one option: selling real estate. “I thought, if I can get awards selling lipstick, I can do it selling real estate,” Morris said. “I analyzed it, saw the potential, and applied for the job.”

Morris

In 2009, Morris was invited to go on ABC’s Shark Tank, which pits entrepreneurs against themselves and others in a bid to win the attention, and funding, of a group of high-profile investors. “It was nerve-wracking,” Morris said. “When you walk down that hallway, you step on your mark, and you get one shot to pitch your product. That’s it. There are no retakes.” Although Morris’ idea didn’t make the final cut – the Sharks wanted Thingloss to undergo a clinical trial first – her success hasn’t slowed. In her own independent study of 27 women over a 30 day period, Morris said nearly 70 percent of participants lost an average of 4.5 pounds. A larger-scale clinical trial is in the works. Her appearance on the Shark Tank has also attracted the attention of potential investors. Morris says she’s been “overwhelmed” by the response she’s gotten. Her sights now are set on seeing Thingloss reach a global market. ‘The way I was able to achieve any of this is that I began to study other successful people,” Morris said. “I was determined to figure out a way where there seemed to be no way.” “The moral of the story,” Morris added, “would be education, learning from others’ success, and never giving up.”

That’s the Chicago (dog) way COOKING By Clint Smith 10 years ago, I was living in the “City of the Big Shoulders,” attending culinary school. On some of the more lonely afternoons between classes (and with just a few bucks in my saucespattered pockets), I’d make the half-mile walk to Division Street to Sammy’s Red Hots for a Chicago dog and fries. It was comforting to indulge in a simple treat, just one of the gastronomic novelties the Windy City had to offer. So here’s the deal: for the sake of authenticity, nine separate components need to be represented in a true Chi-town dog. 1) steamed poppy seed bun; 2) sliced tomato; 3) chopped onion; 4) neon green relish; 5) pickled sport peppers; 6) kosher pickle spear

(or slice); 7) yellow mustard; 8) dash celery salt; and 9) beef hot dog (if you can get Vienna Beef, all the better). The dog itself should be steamed, but other methods (except boiling) are acceptable. Okay, you got me—there’s not much cooking involved with this installment (in fact, the most labor intensive aspect might be procuring your ingredients); but you’ll find that construction (and consumption) of a genuine Chicago-style hot dog will be an indelible edible.

Chicago-style hot dog

Serves 1 Ingredients • One all-beef hot dog • One steamed poppy seed bun • Two slices fresh tomato • To taste, chopped white onion • To taste, neon green relish • Two whole sport peppers • One kosher pickle spear (or slice) • To taste, yellow mustard • Dash, celery salt Directions 1. Over medium-high heat in a medium sauté pan, cook hot dog until skin begins to brown (no more than five minutes). Do not heat dog until it splits open. Add a small amount of water to the pan, reduce heat and cover. Allow the dog to shallowsteam for the remainder of the cooking process. Although hot dogs are precooked,

shoot for a cooking temp around 165° F; steaming them for about another seven minutes. 2. Meanwhile, prep your remaining ingredients. When the hot dog is ready, place in steamed bun and top with components. Serve with a cold soda and a guilty side (read fries, potato chips, or any other of their starchily delicious ilk).

PHYSICIAN SPOTLIGHT

Dr. Tamra Woodworth, Pediatrician St.Vincent Medical Group

da Vinci® Surgical Technology Offers Faster Recovery for Women

Dr. Tamra Woodworth first meets new patients right after they meet the world.

By age 60, approximately one in three women will have a hysterectomy, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research. It’s a common procedure among women who experience pain or discomfort due to a variety of gynecological conditions, including: • Cervical, uterine, ovarian or endometrial cancer • Chronic pelvic pain • Endometriosis • Heavy menstrual periods or abnormal bleeding • Uterine fibroids • Uterine prolapse A hysterectomy is also commonly considered an open procedure, requiring frequent hospital stays and bed rest. But at St.Vincent, hysterectomies are less complicated thanks to the modern robotic technology of the da Vinci Surgical System. With the da Vinci Surgical System, doctors can perform a hysterectomy using a much smaller incision than

typically used in an open procedure. This less invasive method of surgery enables patients to recover faster, return home sooner and resume normal activities within three weeks after surgery. The da Vinci Surgical System is ideal for patients of all ages, especially younger women who wish to remain fertile after a procedure. And because of its reduced risk for complications, the da Vinci Surgical System is also beneficial for patients who are overweight or in poor health. At St.Vincent, more types of surgeries are performed using the da Vinci Surgical System than any other hospital in the state. And that means more options for more procedures. For OB care, or to learn more about the da Vinci Surgical System, contact the Center for Women’s Health at 317-415-9010, located at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast in Suite 101.

“One thing we always do is actually go to the hospital and see babies for the first time there,” she said. As they grow, those babies most often show up in her office for minor illnesses and well-child check-ups. But when a more concerning issue arises, Dr. Woodworth’s four years of working in emergency pediatric care comes into play. Her experience enables her to size up the situation quickly, and determine whether a child needs more attention than a pediatrician’s office is prepared to give. Dr. Woodworth’s main office is in Suite 108 at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast. She also sees patients at 116th and Cumberland Road. “Parents appreciate the convenience of having imaging and lab services at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast,” said Dr. Woodworth. To schedule an appointment, call 317-415-9110.

Revisiting Hormone Replacement Therapy

2011 Indiana State Fair

Maternal Fetal Medicine and Genetics

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) arrived like a gift to women who had hit the hot-flash years. Then the Women’s Health Initiative released a study showing that women who received HRT traded in menopause symptoms for increased risk of heart attack, breast cancer and stroke. The use of HRT dropped, but it still strikes worry in the hearts of menopausal women everywhere. There’s good reason to reconsider. The original study was not without its flaws (like pre-existing conditions in the subjects), and research has refined HRT. New lower-dose pills seem not to cause daunting side effects. Even better, starting treatment early in menopause reduces risk of side effects. Still, HRT isn’t risk-free. It’s just not as loaded with peril as it once seemed. Talk with your primary care provider to find out about the newest options, like transdermal estrogen. For more tips 4HER, visit 3384HER.com or call our 24/7 nurse advice line at 317-338-4-HER.

DISPATCHES » What do dates mean? – Assuming food is properly preserved, here’s a quick primer on how to use dates. Sell-by dates – A week or two past may be fine, but it’s not exact. “Sell by” is telling shelf stockers when food needs to be moved to the store’s clearance area. Use-by or best-by dates – The proper flavor and quality should last until at least this date if the product is properly stored. Often these products are fine to eat past the listed date, but they might not taste great. Expiration dates – If the label explicitly mentions expiration, listen to it – with one exception: eggs. The USDA says you have three to five weeks from purchase to eat eggs. -www.msn.com » Eat same food, lose weight – Eating the same foods, day after day, may make you so uninterested in your meals that you start eating less, a new study suggests. Women who ate macaroni and cheese every day for a week were taking in 100 fewer calories each day than normal by the week’s end, the study showed. The study suggests “that meal monotony may actually lead to reduced calorie consumption,” said Shelley McGuire, an as-

sociate professor of nutrition at Washington State University. The study is published in the August issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. –www.msnbc.com » Most toxic states – Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida are the states with the most toxic air pollution from coal and oil power plants, according to a new report by the Natural Resources Defense Council, which used Environmental Protection Agency data to rank the top 20 worst states for air pollution from power plants. Indiana ranked No. 6. -www.livescience.com » Avoiding patients? – In studies of medication orders at hospital pharmacies, the researchers found that 75 percent of pharmacists and nurses prefer not to confront difficult physicians to ask about potential medication interactions or errors in the prescription. If a doctor who may be making a prescribing mistake goes unchallenged, patients may wind up getting the wrong type or amount of drug — with potentially disastrous consequences. -www.healthland.time.com

Closing my vegan chapter COMMENTARY By Courtney Stiehl As the month wraps up, so does my trial period as a vegan. Now, I’m reflecting on how the diet has impacted my perspective on food. Physically, I feel little difference now then I did in my post-vegan days. I didn’t loose a single pound. I didn’t experience a boost of energy like those who live it promised. But, it wasn’t all in vain. I’ve become more conscious about what I feed my body. So much so, I worry I’ll feel guilty once I begin eating eggs, cheese and seafood that were once off-limits. I realize food is meant to nourish, which processed foods can’t do. The “sweet surprise” corn syrup ads are full of irony. This past month, I read every ingredient, spent large gaps of time planning meals and realigned my food choices for health. I even gave up soft drinks. Vegetables became the norm. Actually, veganism became the norm. Now that I’m approaching my final days, the diet requires little thought. If the benefits ended up outweighing the costs, I would have considered continuing veganism for the summer. Vegans who do it for a passion for animals must have a stronger drive. For me, it inevitably felt like a strict diet rather than a lifestyle change, as I had hoped for. So, I’m proud of myself for carrying it out. Except for the time I knowingly ate a grilled “cheese.” I used soy cheese and whole-wheat bread, which both contained milk. I was out of food, running out the door for work and angry

www.youarecurrent.com

the soy cheese I picked up just before didn’t turn out to be vegan. In that hungry moment, I actually felt desperate. It was the only time I cheated. I still encourage anyone contemplating veganism for health to give it a go. I trust it’s healthy if done right, despite encountering many who disagree. But, it’s imperative to take supplements and eat plenty of veggies, beans and whole grains. Also, meat substitutes are good for filling up. On a side note, lanolin and confectioner’s glaze are strange animal ingredients. I stumbled upon their true identity relatively late in the month. Lanolin translates to wool grease and confectioner’s glaze is a nicer word for beetle juice. Liquid actually secreted from beetles! It’s used to protect the exterior of candy and medicine. Who figured out to use that? This affects my movie-time candy choices. Suddenly, I’m not so sure about Junior Mints anymore. I’m already anticipating what I’ll eat once I part with my vegan ways. Perhaps I’ll eat pizza or chips and queso, because I miss cheese the most. This week has by far been the hardest. Eating my favorite foods feels near and I can’t wait. I hope I don’t turn anyone off veganism by saying so. Courtney Stiehl is an editorial intern with Current in Fishers. You can contact her at cstiehl@ indiana.edu.

DISPATCHES » A stock with solid dividends – Despite 70 percent earnings growth over the past year, Coke (KO) shares trade at a discount to the S&P 500 -- an anomaly historically. Coke’s yield isn’t overwhelming; it pays out only 56 percent of its earnings as dividends. But that bodes well for future hikes. Moreover, Coke has announced more than $2 billion in stock buybacks this year. -Fortune » Simon hire – Simon Property Group recently announced the addition of Alexandra Gagnier as director of marketing and business development of Clay Terrace. She has worked for Simon Brand Ventures since October 2010. » Real estate update – Statewide, the number of closed sales is down, but the median sale price of homes and the number of pending sales are up year-over-year according to a monthly “Indiana Real Estate Markets Report” released last week by the Indiana Association of Realtors. When comparing June

NOW OPEN 2011 to June 2010: The number of closed sales decreased 11.2 percent to 6,081; the median sale price of homes increased 1.4 percent to $119,900; and the number of pending sales increased 16.4 percent to 5,495. » Turn off your car – Even though the ultimate way to save gas is to drive less, simply turning off your car rather than leaving it idling makes a substantial difference. Your car uses gas to turn on, but it uses more when it’s just sitting around. When you leave your car on for more than 20 seconds, you burn more fuel idling than you do turning it off and on again. A good rule of thumb is to turn off your car if you’re going to be sitting still for at least a minute. So, while you’re waiting for a train to pass, or when you’re making a quick run into the store, turn off the ignition. -www.usnews.com » Check the attic – Old sporting goods in your attic or garage could bring in big bucks. Not every old bicycle in your garage is going to be worth something, but vintage Schwinn bicycles, from the 1950s or before, are now peddled as collectibles for $1,000 and up. Also look for leather football helmets, wooden tennis racquets, duck decoys and even old folding kayaks, all of which now have second lives. -www.forbes.com

Insuring a teen driver for less INSURANCE Q&A By Ryan Samuelson Question from Jennifer G. of Fishers: My son is getting his license next month. How do I add him to my policy and what can I do to make sure his addition doesn’t break the bank? Response from Ryan Samuelson: Adding a teen to your insurance policy is not the thing to do if you’re looking to keep your insurance costs down. There are a couple of things you can do to make sure you are getting the best price. First, make sure your teen keeps his grades up. A good majority of carriers offer discounts for teens that maintain a B average or higher. Next, make sure your teen completes a driver’s education class. Lastly, make sure you pay attention to our claim prevention ideas below and follow all of the current laws and regulations. Coverage recommendations Adding a new driver to your policy is as easy as giving your independent agent a phone call or sending an e-mail. We will need the new driver’s license number, name and the vehicle that they will be driving as well as the VIN (vehicle identification number) for any new autos. The type of vehicle your teen drives is a major factor in the cost of coverage. It’s a pretty simple concept. The car you want them to drive (a four-door sedan) is going to cost a lot less to

18 | August 2, 2011

insure when compared to the car they want to drive (a coupe, convertible or sports car). Modifying your coverage limits is a subject you should run by your independent agent. What I would recommend depends greatly on your own circumstances and risk tolerance. I will say that the state statutory limits are inadequate and should only be used if financially necessary. Claim prevention The leading cause of death for U.S. teens is motor vehicle crashes. Teens are at risk because they are more likely to drive aggressively, to not wear seatbelts and to underestimate the dangers associated with hazardous driving situations. When we talk about claim prevention, we’re talking about minimizing the risk of those three things. We recommend addressing some or all of these issues: Seatbelts: Make sure every person in the vehicle is wearing a seatbelt. Cell Phones: Never use a cell phone while driving. Passengers: Limit the number of passengers in the vehicle. Current laws: Make sure you are familiar with our current Graduated Drivers License laws (current laws and regulations can be viewed atwww.iihs.org).

warren Buffett’s best stocks Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) – Buffett’s own company could be a value play right now. At current prices, the stock trades about 30 percent below intrinsic value -the true value Stock price over 12 months of all its businesses combined -- estimates Whitney Tilson of T2 Partners, a hedge fund that owns Berkshire shares, saying "It's just about the cheapest we've ever seen it." Buffett himself has been publicly dropping hints that the stock might be a good buy now. Wells Fargo (WFC) - Buffett typically gravitates toward companies with outstanding Stock price over 12 months man-

agement teams. Evidence of the management strength at Wells Fargo can be seen in its consistently above-average return on assets, a measure of how well a company produces profits. The bank also has lower loan delinquency and foreclosure rates than competitors, another sign of prudence. And the bank is currently working on reducing expenses by $1.5 billion a quarter. Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) - The retailer has posted higher earnings each year for Stock price over 12 months the past decade and is using a lot of those earnings to buy back stock. Over the past three years, Wal-Mart has reduced its share count by 2 percent to 5 percent a year. Additionally, Wal-Mart is expanding internationally, into high-growth markets in China, Brazil and Mexico. Buffett owns 39 million shares. -www.money.msn.com

Cheap deals can come at high costs LANDSCAPING By Randy Sorrell Yes, I admit it. On a few hysterical occasions, I have hired a starving buddy to save a few bucks on something. My caffeinated memory bank reminds me I have tried that lesson three painful times. After each, I regretfully take a fresh oath not to collapse to my inherited drive of negotiating a better deal. Apparently that has a 10 year expiration date. Recently, my sparkling SUV needed brakes, rotors and gizmos, at least that’s what the screeching sound from our mechanic said. The price at our favorite auto repair shop on Rangeline Road seemed irrationally exuberant and an experienced acquaintance was eager for the cash. You guessed it. It didn’t turn out pretty and actually cost more than if we had taken it to the pros’ initially. Miller Auto Care rescued me, with only minor testosterone humiliation. Not coincidentally, we have received a historically high number of requests this year to repair projects an unemployed buddy has filibustered up. Each time, costing the homeowner far more than if they had originally trusted the project to a veteran. Sagging decks, leaning pergolas, ugly patios and falling walls are the usual culprits of our

economically inspired mistakes. Of course, there are some fantastic start-ups with honorable intentions who will do whatever is necessary to make the repair once they understand the problem. Hopefully, that’s who you found. Do your homework. If it seems “too good to be true, it probably is”… and “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”. Get the project in writing, with extreme details and proof of insurance (not having workers comp and liability insurance is an instant loser). Great winners have to start somewhere and it’s often out of their garage or working with Uncle Joe at the farm. Just ask Bill Gates, and me. Follow the drill. Hire a trusted pro who comes recommended from the community or Angie’s List, not your horoscope reading or a warm feeling deep inside. If you insist on hiring your hungry buddy, do so with caution. Detail an agreed upon process of the project, leverage the power of your checkbook with spelled out draws, visually monitor the progress and buyer beware.

Clamping down on costs REMODELING By David Decker Containing costs and maximizing value in a custom home improvement project should be uppermost in the minds of everyone involved. Nothing helps achieve those two goals better than good planning and good communication. Nothing turns a dream kitchen into hell’s kitchen, or a master bath into the grapes of wrath, more assuredly than bad planning and poor communication. While each homeowner/client and each project is one-of-a-kind, basic principles of managing a project should always apply. Big job or small, major renovation or cosmetic upgrade, achieving proper cost and value doesn’t mean cheap materials and cheap work. Cost and value come from everyone having a clear idea of the project’s goals, deadlines and budget. And that means … planning and communication. There’s an old construction truism triangle that says, “You can have good price, quality or timing. Pick two.” Baloney. You can have all three, if you have planning and communication. The secret is in defining the project, start to finish, before the start. A desirable home improvement professional, will see what you want to achieve, understand your budget parameters, and use his or her professional resources to provide the best prices, quality and timing

www.youarecurrent.com

attainable. Planning can include architecture, design, price-conscious sourcing of materials, flooring, fixtures, cabinetry and appliances, scheduling deliveries and labor. Some other tasks may include: obtaining permits and notifying utilities, and many other facets that unique home improvements may require. Communication is daily dedication to monitoring and discussing the plan, and when necessary, updating the plan. What you’ll find with a home improvement professional who is as dedicated to communicating with you as he is to planning the project, is there will be far fewer instances of expensive surprises, delays and order changes. Everyone has a stake in the success of the project. The homeowner wants a well-functioning and beautiful home improvement; and the home improvement professional’s future business depends on a history of bringing great projects in on time and on budget. Cost and value. Planning and communication breed the best of both worlds. David Decker is president of Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms, based in Carmel (877-252-1420, www.affordablekandb.com).

Embarrased into a weighty decision! HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen casually mentioned to me the other night that I had a pathetic looking chest. While I suppose your better half is permitted to assess your upper half, I’d suggest not responding in kind. She thinks my body lacks definition, but I disagree. You can look it up in the dictionary under scrawny. Women are definitely more interested in men having muscles than a sense of humor. No female has ever said: “I wish Matthew McConaughey would put his shirt back on and tell more jokes.” I used to go to a gym to play racquetball, and I’d see men and women fine-tuning their physiques, yet I wasn’t inspired to fiddle with my own. Never really interested in the pure pursuit of brute strength, I would watch weightlifters during their routine. They’d pick up a heavy thing, then they’d put it down again. Such indecision. After this stinging critique of my body, I read in Prevention magazine that when you reach 45 years of age, you begin losing one percent of your bone density and muscle mass every year. Old photos of me from high school show there was very little mass to start with, although some did roll in across my midsection in the early 80s. Density? I asked Mary Ellen about that, but she said not to worry, that I’m as dense as I’ve ever been—and she’s not one to just toss

out compliments. I was embarrassed into starting a moderate body- building regimen. I don’t go to the gym to work out, however. I do everything at home, in the reclining position, while watching cable

Never really interested in the pure pursuit of brute strength, I would watch weightlifters during their routine. They’d pick up a heavy thing, then they’d put it down again. Such indecision. news in the evening. Why didn’t I think of this 15 years ago? I still wouldn’t like Sean Hannity, but at least I’d be buff enough to throw kingsize pillows at the TV from a prone position. Some of my other favorite moves are curls, extensions and squats. There are two techniques I don’t perform: abductions and snatches. I don’t need any more legal trouble after getting caught walking out of Dick’s Sporting Goods with a set

of free weights. Hey, that’s what the sign said. I’m making progress. Thursday I ‘’bedpressed’’ a hefty amount: 18,000 grams. It sounds impressive when counted the way the British do. I took one really heavy dumbbell and managed to hoist it over my head. When I put it down, the dog scooped it up in his mouth and buried it outside. Mary Ellen, who regularly works out with a trainer, says my new resolution to lift things is a good sign. She’s hoping it will carry over to lifting a finger around the house to help or picking up the check when her brother and sister-in-law come to visit. As for me, this has all helped lift my spirits. I can now hold a six-pack out in front of me, arms parallel to the ground, for an entire TV commercial. A few days ago, one of my macho neighbors helped me lug a huge barbell up to the second floor of our house. My hope was that after a few months working out with some of the lighter weights, I would one day be able to lift this new behemoth all by myself. Mary Ellen thought it looked ugly in our bedroom. So she took it down to the basement.
