Summer can be a time for relaxing AND learning By Brenda Alexander Current in Noblesville Even the best-intentioned parent can run out of mind-enriching ideas when confronted with a row of short people saying, “I’m bored” just a few days after the last day of school. According to Megan O’Bryan, counselor at Meridian Youth Psychiatric Center, it’s important that summer vacation be distinguishable from the school year in that there is considerable down-time in which to relax. However, it can also be a great time to remediate areas in which your children may be struggling. As in most areas, the key is to find a good balance for your particular children and their particular needs. Here are some ideas that might smooth over rainy days, and perhaps ease your children into their next year of school. On rainy days • Visit the Hamilton East Public Library and stick around long enough to have your kids read a chapter to you. Perhaps, sign them up for this year’s summer reading program “Make a SplashREAD!” in which young readers can earn all sorts of literaryinspired prizes. The Barnes and Noble at 17090 Merchantile Blvd. also offers twice-weekly reading programs. • This IS the time for games. Board games, a deck of cards, or a 500piece jigsaw puzzle can bring hours of blissful reprieve from whining. Check out the recently reopened Wild Bookstore, 884 Logan St., for a good selection. • Get crafty. It’s amazing what liberal doses of construction paper, scissors, markers, glue, and pipe

cleaners can produce. If kids are older, toss photos in the mix for some creative scrapbooking. To enrich minds • Use the internet to strengthen wobbly skill sets. • Try www.kidzone.ws for math, reading, and science fun facts and worksheets that are grade k-5 appropriate. • For a child struggling with math facts, www.thegreatmartinicompany.com has interactive math flash cards for all levels. • To exercise the brain, try www. superkids.com for a fantastic selection of free logic games. • For counting money or geography, go to www.lizardpoint.com . • There are also sites for telling time, improving spelling, learning to keyboard, and great ideas for writing prompts that are grade k-12 appropriate getting. If strapped for cash • Find a neighborhood garage sale. Your kids will love the buying power of a dollar bill. • Catch a free second-run family movie at Great Escape Theater, 10075 Town & Country Blvd., any Wednesday-Friday at 9:30 am. • Visit www.cityofnoblesville.com for upcoming events such as free movies at Dillon Park, or hiking, biking and bird watching at Forest Park, Potters Bridge, or in your own neighborhood. • Kids bowl free – two games every day --at Coopers Stardust Bowl, 815 Westfield Road. Register at www.kidsbowlfree.com/ coopersstardust. Do relax this summer, but don’t hesitate to use the time to be better prepared for the coming school year.

230 jobs on the way as Miller Consulting Group expands here Current in Noblesville The Noblesville job outlook is a little brighter with the recent announcement that Miller Consulting Group will expand its operations here, creating as many as 230 jobs by the end of 2013. The company, which provides computer-aided design and engineering services for the aerospace, defense and medical device industries, plans to invest $2.1 million in computer software, hardware and equipment. The company will lease a portion of the historic Model Mill building on Mulberry Street. Established in 1999, Miller Consulting Group is an authorized reseller of Siemens’ software systems and serves clients including Allison Transmission, Ingersoll Rand, DePuy Orthopaedics, EnerDel, Comlux, Triumph Aerospace and Orthopediatrics, to name a

few. The company will begin hiring engineers, managers, technicians and IT personnel immediately. “We’ve been fortunate to establish some great client relationships out of state and while we considered moving our headquarters to be closer to them, we also realized the many benefits of staying in Indiana ,” said Dale Miller, Miller Consulting president. “We sincerely appreciated the way that the Hamilton County Alliance, the city of Noblesville and the state of Indiana supported our project and decision to grow in Indiana." The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Miller Consulting up to $2.5 million in performance-based tax credits and up to $120,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. The city of Noblesville will consider additional property tax abatement.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that our region and, specifically, our Hamilton County community is about to change in a profound way, and we look forward to being there to watch it happen. This winter, on Saturday, January 29, 2011, to be exact, the Palladium in the Regional Performing Arts Center in Carmel will hold its grand opening with a gala where the venue’s Artistic Director, performer and American Songbook historian Michael Feinstein, will be joined by Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Chris Botti to do the honors. The building itself is expected to be world-class. The architects, builders and craftspeople involved routinely refer to the space as “once-in-a-lifetime” as someone in the construction business. And the much-ballyhooed cost of the project has included the services of the best acousticians and sound designers available in the world. Feinstein’s performance chops have delivered him to most of the world’s top venues. Aside from our desire to support the arts in Hamilton County, we believe that the commissioning of this building will be among the most important in a generation. We intend to say that we were there. Go to www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org for more details and to look for a way to be involved.

In a haze

It is our opinion that American rituals of group bonding and motivation are all too often ending up, at best, as pointless pranks or, at worst, dangerous and often criminal incidences of hazing. Sadly, our society is riddled with examples of ruined lives – from gang gauntlets, fraternity and sorority initiation rituals, athletic team locker rooms and military barracks. In an ever escalating climb of irresponsibility, over-the-line hazing becomes an excepted ritual wrongly utilized to prove some rite of passage. Claims that such behavior helps instill a winning culture attitude often cite the fact that the U.S. military, the most dominant military force in the world, that Greek letter organizations on college campuses routinely perform above campus norms in leadership and academic success and that achievement in sport comes from discipline. But to assert a correlation between abuse and success is nonsensical. If anything, the brutality of hazing works against structured accomplishment. So, why do we, as a nation and as participants, tolerate these transgressions? Does our desire for victory outweigh the risk? We are a society that aspires to achieve and puts winners on pedestals. Until we see that hazing inhibits success, will the line of individuals waiting to be hazed get any shorter?

Linda Lee ‘keeping on’ her country career track

From the backshop A songbook and a mission: Accomplished! Arts patrons in Hamilton County and well beyond are in for a load of amazing talent, if the recent whirlwind of a weekend of events surrounding the Center for the Performing Arts is any indication. On the heels of The Civic Theatre’s fundraising event under a massive tent at Third Avenue Southwest and City Center Drive came two nights and one afternoon of Great American Songbook fare, courtesy of Michael Feinstein and Steven Libman, respectively the center’s artistic and executive directors. The first event was a blow-away cabaret show at the Columbia Club featuring Feinstein, Grammy-winning opera sensation Sylvia McNair, recording artist Catherine Russell, concert artist and 1981 Miss America Susan Powell and vocalist Shannon Forsell along with pianists Richard Walters and Gary Walters. As phenomenal as that event was, it served as the appetizer for the following night’s Great American Songbook High School Competition at the Crystal DeHaan Center at the University of Indianapolis. Ten youth from across the Midwest – sadly, none from Hamilton County, which produced last year’s winner, Julia Bonnett of Carmel – battled it out (politely and with awesome stage presence

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg and vocal prowess, of course) for the chance to perform June 16 with Feinstein at his New York City cabaret, Feinstein’s at the Regency. There were no losers playing to a packed house, but Annie Yokom, a 17-year-old sensation from the Chicago Academy for the Arts, took home top honors. She sang “What Did I Have?” by Burton Lane and Alan J. Lerner and “Bill” by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II. The final blast of energy came last Sunday at The Palladium, when the first wave of scheduled events was announced by Libman and Feinstein. (Extended coverage of the weekend’s events is elsewhere in today’s newspaper.) We simply can’t wait for Jan. 29, 2011, opening night!

The road home COMMENTARY By Terry Anker Recently, Carolyn and I were returning from a delightful trip to the lovely beach home of dear friends, and we discovered the rarest of commodities in our all-too-busy lives – time with no particular commitment to use it. There was not a basketball game to attend; we were in another city and completely at the mercy of transportation. There was not a call to make; we were instructed to put away the telephone. So, instead of running from here to there like a rodent in a modern-day version of the Habi-trail, we talked. A married couple these days has too little time to talk. We looked each other in the eyes. We completed our sentences without interruption. And, we connected. There was not any form of electronic prophylactic preventing or manipulating the bond. No telephone. No email. No Twitter. It reminded me of what life was like when there seemed to be more hours in the day and yet were burdened with less worry. It

was a good time. I’m not hiding behind the rose-colored Foster-Grants; today is a good time, too. Being parents and adults is all that I imagined that it would be and more. Yet, what have we lost in our move towards the more efficient and the less personal? Is it possible to live long distance and still live under the same roof? Studies have shown that co-habitation does not define or guarantee a happy marriage. Many marrieds are unhappy, and many singles find roommate bliss. Could it be that we are substituting proximity for intimacy? They are similar to be sure, but just as assuredly, they are not the same. In our modern-day quest for intimacy, have we confused it for geography along the way? And if so, how do we find our way back? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

COMMENTARY By Zach Dunkin Carrie Underwood wasn’t exactly welcomed with open arms by the conservative Nashville Establishment five years ago as “American Idol’s” most successful graduate. After all, the gifted 27-year-old from Checotah, Okla. – population 3,481 – hadn’t paid her dues, i.e., played enough county fairs and honky tonks on her way to becoming the reigning Queen of Country Music. Linda Lee, a 23-year-old country music hopeful from tiny Omega – population unknown -in northeast Hamilton County, says she should be so lucky. “I don’t blame Carrie at all for the way she did it,” said Lee, whose old Hamilton Heights classmates knew as Linda Lee Essig before the career name change. “She was at the right place at the right time, and, in this business, that’s what it’s all about.” In other words: You go, girl! Meanwhile, the customer service rep for a hospital billing center in Indianapolis is agreeable to traveling the more traditional route to Music City acceptance by playing smalltown festivals, county fairs and coon hunts in Pennsylvania, no less. “I know this may take a lot of time and

I’m OK with that,” says Lee, whose summer schedule includes a headlining date at the Bartholomew County Fair July 13 and an opening slot for Lee Greenwood at the Tipton Pork Festival Sept. 10. “I decided my freshman year this is what I wanted to do, and I’m willing to work as hard at it takes. “Most say it takes about 10 years to make it in Nashville. I’ve been doing this for about nine years now.” So, maybe her new CD, “Keep On,” recorded last February in Nashville on Misty Records, will be that 10-year breakthrough. Lee unveiled the new CD at a release party Sunday at the Moose Lodge in Noblesville. (Visit www.lindaleeandthencb.com for a listen). “Recording in Nashville was amazing,” said Lee, who recorded it with her manager and principal songwriter Jim Beauhall. “I couldn’t believe I was actually there. I was definitely not ready to come home.” And she’s definitely ready to go back – the old-fashioned way. Zach Dunkin is the managing editor for Current in Noblesville.

Readers' Views Don’t forgot the ‘off-square’ merchants Editor, Thank you and all the staff at Current for one of the best local papers we receive; love the freedom of speech you provide. But in regard to the Strawberry Festival story (June 8, 2010) I would like to remind you of the many more opportunities for shopping in stores other than just on the “square.” Logan Village Mall, with over 40 shops under one roof, is located east of the square at 10th and Logan. Just For You! is one of the most

established stores downtown. There are lots of shops north and south of the square but shop owners downtown are so limited as far as advertising on our buildings and street fronts, so it becomes a challenge to direct customers to the stores outside of the square. The new Welcome Center is a great asset for all of the shop owners to use. Shara Smith 46060

Let’s help the Schoolcraft family Editor, I just read about Rick Schoolcraft’s family needing help. I went to school with Rick and was his friend. I would like to have a fundraiser for his family. I do DJ and karaoke on the side and have my own equipment. I was thinking about a dance some Friday night. I would need help or ideas about a place,

and this would need to be advertised by a local paper and TV. Now, I live in Noblesville, so would need to do this here also because most of his friends live here. If anyone wants to help, call me after 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at (317) 776-2307. Gregory Stevens 46060

My plan to survive summer vacation Commentary By Danielle Wilson I just came from a family meeting with my kids and husband, and I have to say, I’m feeling much better about my chances of surviving the next 10 weeks. Yes, summer vacation is upon us, and as much as I love the freedom and flexibility that comes when school ends, I also know from experience these months can be tough to navigate. This year, I decided to be proactive and not wait until the horrors of no schedule or routine had me longing for the days of homework and brown-bag lunches. So I gathered my precious little angels and sat them down right beside my husband, who was naively thinking he could catch up on e-mail right at the kitchen table. First on the agenda: bedtimes. My younger ones had no problem with just pushing their normal bedtimes back 30 minutes, but my 11-year-old cried and moaned about not being able to stay up as late as he wanted. Mind you, this excessive whining came on the heels of a 2 a.m. night and just hours after he complained he was way too tired for soccer practice. Winner? Parents! Next up: Xbox/DS/computer time. I made the case for not wasting the beautiful days of summer camped out in front of a monitor re-enacting WWII, but again, our oldest protested. He simply could not understand how five hours of electronic play could possibly be detrimental to his psychological growth and well-being. Look, young Jedi. Here’s how it’s going to roll: Two hours for games, and another two for television, and that’s it! Go outside, for goodness sake, or read a book. Don’t mess with the masters; the Force is strong with us. On that note, I also instigated a 30-minute daily reading requirement, with or without the benefits of the library’s summer program. You’re reading something, darn it, and I don’t care if you take the free

picture frame and ice cream cone or not. Viva la literacy! Another issue I felt needed particular attention was meal time. For some unknown reason, my kids feel like they can graze all day long, and that I will gladly make lunches from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., whenever their little hearts desire. Uh, negative, ghostrider, the pattern is full. The Wilson kitchen will henceforth be open from 7-9 for breakfast and 11:30-1 for lunch. Dinner will be at the discretion of both parents. Healthy snacks are always available, but those must be requisitioned on your own. You’ll get no assistance from Chef Mom, so deal with it. Finally, we decided to instigate a weekly game night, to occur on Wednesday evenings throughout June and July. The kids felt Mondays and Fridays might interfere with weekend plans, but then nothing exciting ever happens midweek, so why not play Charades or Life? We couldn’t agree more. Bring it, short people. We have also reinstated the “I’m bored” jar this summer, a repository for the quarters fined to any individual caught muttering the words “I’m bored.” Additionally, said perpetrator will be required to perform some loathsome chore or menial task as punishment for not thinking of a more creative way to openly express their ennui. So there you have it: My plan for enduring the next 10 weeks without jumping a plane to Papeete and/or selling my children on eBay. As much as I loathe the rigmarole of the school year, I know my family functions better on some sort of schedule. Good luck to you! Peace out.

Bored yet? Summer TV To ocean waters we have poisoned, I’m so sorry shows come to the rescue COMMENTARY By Hannah Davis Graduation is long over. Open houses are waning. And we’re finally in the swing of things. The pool’s open. The county fair’s on the calendar. Ah, yes. This is summer. But while we wait to embark on the season’s big adventures – trips to the beach, 24-hour movie marathons – we might get a little bored. Reruns of “The Maury Show” are only so entertaining. But take heart. Summer TV’s bark is worse than its bite, and new shows are premiering soon. “The Good Guys,” from the creator of the fast-paced and fun “Burn Notice,” is a buddy cop action-comedy series about (surprise!) a washed-up detective and his squeaky young counterpart, played by Bradley Whitford (“The West Wing,” 1999-2006) and Colin Hanks, respectively. The cast and the awesome mustache Whitford sports in the role are enough reasons to tune in. “The Good Guys” officially premiered on Fox on June 7, but there’s still time to catch up.

“Huge” is another light, teen-oriented soap from ABC Family, this time set in a weight-loss camp. The charming Nikki Blonsky (“Hairspray,” 2007) stars in the series, promising a provocative, humorous take on a pertinent and sensitive topic. High quality? Unlikely. Entertaining? We shall see. It’s worth a shot. “Huge” premieres on June 28 at 9 p.m. Since the premier of my beloved “Mad Men” in 2007 (this season’s premier is July 25), AMC has emerged as TV’s most reliable source for high-quality drama. Now, the network is adding a third show to its oeuvre with “Rubicon,” a conspiracy thriller about a New York government think tank and the analyst (James Badge Dale) who begins to unravel the agency’s mysteries. The two-hour series premiers on Aug. 1 at 8 p.m. In the meantime, though, mark your calendars, try to avoid reality shows, and know that relief is coming soon. Hannah Davis is recent graduate of Noblesville High School. She will be attending Indiana University in the fall.

Commentary By Krista Bocko I sit on a sun-warmed rock and compose this column in my head as I watch the waves crash onto the rugged shore. I’m at the sea -- a chance for this Midwestern girl to drink her fill of the mighty crashing waters before returning to her certainly wonderful, but landlocked existence. The only sounds are the waves booming on the rocks or lapping on the shore, depending on my location, and the occasional call of a seagull. I pick my way across the beach and stoop for another piece of sea glass. One of my favorite places to be is on this craggy coast of Maine. The sea is a place for me to retreat from the daily demands of the world, to re-evaluate priorities, to re-read Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s “Gift of the Sea,” and to just be still. But instead of feeling calm and centered this time, I breathe in the sea air and feel immense sadness over the death and destruction caused by the BP oil spill. That something like this could -- and did -- happen seems incomprehen-

sible. As much as 500,000-800,000 gallons of oil may be leaking into the Gulf each day. Each day. I feel angry and powerless. And guilty, too. Guilty because as much as I try to be ecoconscious, the irony that the whole reason I can travel hundreds of miles from Noblesville to visit my beloved ocean at all is because of oil is not lost on me. This fault lies squarely on humankind and our need – greed – for oil. And unlike natural disasters where it’s easy to mobilize and help in some way, this is paralyzing. What can we do but watch helplessly as the slick poisons our waters, our land, our animals and ourselves? It’s time to head home. I look out at a million stars glinting in the waters. I say I’m sorry and say goodbye. Krista Bocko, her husband and four children live in “Old Town.” Noblesville in a historic home. She can be reached at www.cachetwrites.blogspot.com

Take a walk into the ‘Wild’ side – once more

By Pete Semple Current in Noblesville Walking into The Wild, the children’s bookstore on Logan Street, is like walking into a different world. The walls are covered in bright hues of green, blue, yellow and red, and thin, colorful books peek from myriad shelves. A plush tiger stares at me from across the room. I stare back, unfazed. The lady behind the counter is the owner, Debbie Marinaro. She smiles cordially as I approach, unaware that I have an ulterior motive behind my visit. I smile back, introduce myself, and begin the questioning. She’s still smiling, which is a good sign. She tells me that the original bookstore closed in mid-March of this year. In interviews with Current with the previous owner Jane Mills, she cited several financial issues as the reasons for shuttering the store after 5 ½ years. She cited things like competition with the prices on Web sites like Amazon.com and the big box stores like Wal-Mart and Target, a slow economy, the opening of Hamilton Town Centre and a lack of support for businesses on the Courthouse Square . So, I ask Marinaro the obvious : why does she want to reopen it? “Well,” she says, “My job at Noblesville Schools was being consolidated, but my husband’s structural engineering business was starting to pick up. The store was for sale, and there was a lot of community support, so we decided to be the ones who bought and opened it again.” What does she think now? “I love it! I have a whole guestbook full of people who have been here over the past few days, and the comments are all posi-

Intrigued, but not completely satisfied, I ask for a couple of direct opinions from some of the customers in the store. “I like it!” said Kathy Astrike, a new visitor to the store. “It’s nice, very nice.” “It seems like she kept a lot of it the same as it was, but she made it her own,” said Richelle Cox, a return customer. “I like

the new paint on the walls!” And Debbie Marinaro’s not done yet. She has plans to eventually use the two rooms in the back to host birthday parties and community events. I thank Debbie for her time and take a few pictures. As I leave, I stare at the tiger again, just to let him know who’s boss. He stares back, unfazed. The Wild is an adventure worth having. Don’t let your kids miss out.

Reading programs help kids erase those mental cob webs Commentary By Leslie Webber Summer break may seem short, but it leaves plenty of time for young brains to atrophy. Our son often forgets how to spell words between a Thursday night study session and a Friday morning spelling test, so we make an extra effort to keep his skills sharp. We started off on the right foot this summer, completing a few pages in the enrichment books everyone enthusiastically selected. By our fifth day, I forgot to get out the books. Three days went by and no one was in a hurry to remind me. I lamented the fact that we had already fallen short of our commitment to summer learning. The kids were quick to point out they‘d had a science lesson that very morning. “Mom! We just watched a spider eat a fly that was caught in a web behind a picture frame!” We may be a little off track with worksheets, but we have been on target with our goal to read 30 minutes a day. It helps that no one is allowed to put on a swimming suit before the reading timer dings. The other incentive lies in rewards promised by local summer reading programs.

The Hamilton East Public Library offers a reading program that lasts through July and is open to readers of all ages. According to the library’s Web page, more than 18,000 people participated last year. This year’s children’s theme is “Make a Splash-READ!” Readers can earn all sorts of literary-inspired prizes. Barnes & Noble in Stony Creek Marketplace is offering a program for children in grades K-6. Registrants read eight books and bring their completed form back to the store to earn a free book and a chance to win a ’39 Clues’ boxed set. These, and other reading programs, help kids retain what they learned and come back to school well-prepared to tackle the next grade level. They also provide readers with a sense of accomplishment, probably much like the spider who made the highly effective web behind my picture frame.

Just horsin’ around Select Show Horses continues growth with focus on region’s youths

By Mary Milz Current in Noblesville At a time when many businesses have had to reign in expansion plans, Select Show Horses in Sheridan is riding high and posting gains. The stable offers horse training, boarding and riding lessons. It specializes in Arabian horses with a focus on preparing riders to show in national-level competitions. Co-owner Kellie Wendling, 26, says business has tripled since moving from a barn she leased in Westfield to a 26-acre site in (eastern) Boone County a year and a half ago. Drawing from all over Hamilton County, the stable went from 11 stalls to 40 with Wendling and partner Dalton Budd adding a large indoor arena. “Moving to a bigger facility we thought we’d have plenty of space, and we’re full already,” says Wendling, a former business major. In fact, the full-day riding camps filled up so quickly this year, Wendling added another one at the end of June to accommodate demand. She and Budd also plan to build another barn and an outdoor ring next year. It’s not like Select Show Horses is the only ride in town. Rural Boone and Hamilton counties have become known as “horse country.” Wendling says, “There are so many stables. You’d think there wouldn’t be enough business to go around but there is.” Certainly, Wendling and Budd’s reputation in the horse world helps. Wendling has won 10 national championships and Budd has won 28. They have enough ribbons and trophies to fill a barn. But it goes beyond titles and decorations, says Holly Goggins, a fulltime trainer from Noblesville. “There are a lot of great trainers, but they don’t have the people skills Dalton and Kellie do or handle the kids as well,” says Goggins, 30. Sonja Burkley, whose 10-year-old daughter Kara began taking lessons with Wendling four years ago, agrees. “The first thing that impressed me is the way she is with kids,” said Burkley, of Westfield. “She’s firm but fun, she treats them like a family member. She’s also strict about rules and safety standards and as a mother you look for those things. "The best thing about it are the character traits Kara’s gaining. She’s learning, compassion, pertinence, flexibility. When you‘re dealing with an animal nothing is predictable.” Wendling is happy when people take notice that handling the kids is what sets them apart from the others. “We really focus on the children and making them the best riders they can be,” she says. “This is my favorite thing to do. It’s unbelievable to see the look on a child’s face when they learn something new or they get to do a victory pass around the arena.” Kara Burkley usually rides three a week. She also travels to several shows each year. She says when she’s at the stable. “I feel like I’m in my own place,” she says. “I want to be there from dawn to dusk. I’m there on snowy days, too. I couldn‘t give up horseback riding for anything” Her mother, too, is hooked. Sonja helps Wendling with everything from coordinating camps to painting stalls. She also likes the friendships that have developed among families. “When you’re in the horse world like this, you live it and talk

Tracy write

about it,” she says. “It seems people have a full passion about horses or they don’t.” Trainer Goggins is definitely passionate. She is one of two other full-time instructors at Select Show Horses. She began in March with a half dozen students. She’s now at 32 kids and climbing. “I don’t know how many hours a week I put in but I enjoy it,” says Goggins, who feels fortunate to be working with Wendling and Budd. “I’m taking something I love and making it my job.”

heart attacks. Thyroid hormone is necessary for the processing of LDL as well as managing the overall rate of metabolism. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, as many as half of the 27 million Americans with thyroid disorders are undiagnosed. Since elevation of cholesterol happens early in the process of hypothyroidism, it is a good idea that anyone with an elevation of cholesterol be screened for an under active thyroid. Cholesterol levels may be 30 to 50 percent higher and improve when the thyroid levels are corrected with medication. A blood test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, or TSH, can be done to determine whether or not thyroid levels are at optimal range. TSH levels greater than three with an el-

evation of cholesterol may indicate the need for low-dose thyroid medication. Checking for thyroid antibodies, immune system proteins that attack the thyroid gland, may also be important to decide if treatment is necessary. Approximately 102 million Americans have total cholesterol levels greater than the recommended 200mg/dl cutoff. According to the National Cholesterol Education Program, hypothyroidism is one of the most common secondary causes of high cholesterol. Though genetics play a major role in the development of cholesterol issues, managing diet and optimizing thyroid function is essential. Ultimately, treatment with cholesterol lowering medications may still be necessary to reduce cardiovascular risks, but a patient may be able to get by with lower doses resulting in a reduction in costs and side effects.

How much protein do you need to build lean muscle? COMMENTARY By Laura Marenco When people ask about the secret to a healthy, toned physique, I tell them it’s simply a mix of hard work, a healthy eating regimen and good supplementation. The hard work usually is obvious, but a healthy eating regimen and diet is where there can be confusion. A critical staple of a healthy diet is protein, and that’s an area in which many people sometimes fall short. A diet for an active person should include one gram of protein each day per pound of their ideal body weight. For example, if you are a 130-pound female, your daily need would be 130 grams. Focus on different protein sources, such as lean cuts of meat (chicken breast, white fish, salmon, tuna and flank steak), Greek yogurt, quinoa, almonds and almond butters. Once you realize all the sources of protein in your diet, it’s not that difficult to achieve optimum levels. Also breaking intake into five to six smaller meals about three hours apart throughout the day also can help keep your metabolism constant throughout the day. You might ask yourself, “If I am constantly on the go, how am I supposed to eat all this protein?” That’s where a whey protein supplement can help. You can buy it in liquid or powder

form, which comes in handy when you are not able to get your protein intake from regular food. Just one scoop of this vital supplement mixed with water will give you about 25 grams of protein. So how can a whey protein supplement help you with my weight loss goals or overall health? As a meal replacement: It’s so convenient, there’s no excuse not to make a quick shake when you are tempted to eat a less-healthy snack. Gain and preserve lean muscle: Getting a “toned body” requires increasing muscle (or at least maintaining it) while decreasing bodyfat levels. Research also indicates that people who consume whey protein are better able to maintain lean tissue, even during periods of inactivity. Post workout recovery: Whey protein is quickly digested, and, right after you work out, encourages recovery and ensures amino acids are available to build lean muscle.

Ease into morning exercise Your initial goal should be to wake up a mere 10 to 15 minutes earlier. Just roll out of bed and onto the floor for a few morningfriendly yoga poses or a quick set of pushups, sit-ups, and lunges. You don't even have to change out of your pajamas. At this point, what you do isn't as critical as getting into the habit of doing something – anything – every morning. In other words, for the first few days, simply concentrate on making those 10 to 15 minutes of activity happen, any way you can. Then gradually get up 5 minutes earlier until you're exercising for at least 30 minutes Carmel each morning. 10079 INFINITI Current_F 6/8/10 –www.prevention.com

Improve your mood with a walk We all know someone who says they exercise for their mental health, and guess what? Research proves they’re right!

It’s not about you COMMENTARY By David Cain Have you ever had a conversation and find that the person you are talking to just restates your discussion in the context of them? You are discussing something, and they are likening it to something in their life. It happens in almost every conversation in some form. People make sense of things by putting those thoughts into the context of their own lives, making those thoughts or ideas familiar to them and therefore more easily understood. Listen to the next conversation you have. Listen for how many times you say “I.” Listen to how often you change the context of what they are saying to restate it to a first person story from your own world. Listen for how hard it is for you to have conversations in the context of someone else, emphasizing their problems and their agenda. Research says the average person has 60,000 to 90,000 thoughts each day. And more than 90 percent of those thoughts are about themselves. We continually process day-to-day activities, thoughts, ideas and any stimuli in the

context of ourselves. We continually ask, “What does this mean to me?” That’s not to say we don’t care about other people: they might make up the other 10 percent. Effective communication must be in the context of the audience. You have to put yourself in their world and in your conversation answer the questions, “What does this mean to them?” or “Why do they care?” If you don’t address their agenda, which they often won’t reveal, you will struggle to influence people. Influential communication means you understand the problems and pains of your audience. It means you can put yourself in their shoes. If 90 percent of their time is spent thinking about themselves, spending time talking about yourself and your agenda isn’t very effective.

Six years ago, Mark Skipper had a life-changing epiphany. “I worked 30 years in the corporate world, but I got tired of sitting on airplanes and through meetings. I wanted to be outside … wanted to build my own business. One day, my wife and I were landscaping our backyard, which we both love to do, and one of our children said, ‘Why don’t you do this for a living?’” Mark and his family own and operate the Mustard Seed Garden Center just outside of downtown Noblesville. The center offers a wide range of services, including grounds maintenance, creation of outdoor living spaces and landscaping. Mayor John Ditslear helped with the center’s ribbon-cutting ceremory for its new garden center June 7. Eventually, the Skippers hope to also offer their property as a scenic gathering place for weddings, corporate meetings, and other events. “We love when we leave a customer’s backyard and see the smiles and the memories that’ll be formed there for years,” says Skipper.

The Book of Eli

R, 117 minutes

COMMENTARY By Chris Lloyd “The Book of Eli” may just be the best-looking dumb movie ever made. This post-apocalyptic drama from the Hughes brothers directing duo (Allen and Albert) features a wasteland so bleak and bled of color, the film is nearly monochromatic. Its spareness is practically sumptuous. But the script (by Gary Whitta) is filled with so much idiocy and silliness, we grow distracted from all the great visuals. The setup is part “Mad Max,” part “Waterworld” (sans water), part “Fallout” video game, and 100 percent bone-headed. Denzel Washington plays the title character, a wandering badass who possesses the last Holy Bible on Earth. Most of humanity was wiped out 30 years ago, and the few that are left roam the desert preying on each other, or gather into chaotic enclaves. Eli strolls into one of the latter, a town led by

an intelligent, diabolical man named Carnegie (Gary Oldman), who sees in the Bible a weapon with which he can tie the rabble to his yoke. The last two-thirds of the movie devolves into a series of chases and fights as Carnegie’s men seek to wrest the book from Eli’s grasp. Eli, armed with a freaky-looking machete and preternaturally fast moves, filets them to bits. It’s a cool, withered world the Hugheses have painted for us. And I’m a sucker for stories about mankind squabbling over the flotsam of their dead society. But don’t be fooled by its great looks: “The Book of Eli” is so stupid, it’s almost unholy.

Bartender at Barley Island Brewing Company Where do you like to eat: “Eddie’s Corner Cafe.”

English biscuits: warm treat now or cool treat later with tea COMMENTARY By Molly Herner English biscuits are a traditional accompaniment for tea in Great Britain. Many tea drinkers “dunk” their biscuits in tea, allowing them to absorb liquid and soften slightly before eating. These delicious little cookies are baked until golden and slightly hard, so that they last for days. Butter them fresh out of the oven or eat them cooled with tea in the afternoon.

The beauty of this recipe is that you can add any kind of dried fruit, nut or extract to flavor to your preference. This recipe calls for orange zest and dried, tart cranberries.

What do you like to eat there: “I like their chicken salad sandwiches.” Why do you Eddie’s Corner Cafe: “They’re close, reasonably priced, and they have good service.” 101 N. 10th St., Noblesville (317) 776-9935

Located on the Courthouse Square in Noblesville, a pair of doctors founded the Asian Grill in 2003 with the aim of bringing Cambodian and Indian flavors to Noblesville. Meals are made from scratch with fresh ingredients and cooked to order by Asian Grill’s Cambodian chef and staff. Try the Kung Pao chicken, one of 17 chicken entrees and a chicken stirfry with peanuts, onions, carrots, bell and jalapeno peppers and water chestnuts. If you’re in the mood for something a little less spicy, try the Lok Lak beef, one of seven beef entrees with sautéed chunks of beef in a savory sauce over onions with sides of tomatoes and cucumbers. Noodles fans like the Pat Thai, rice noodles in a sweet and tangy sauce mixed with green onions and tofu and then topped with peanuts. Vegetarians should know that tofu can be substituted for meat in most dishes, and there’s even a spicy tofu dish on the menu, stir-fried tofu slices with bell peppers, onions, carrots and in baby corn in a spicy sauce. Of tofu stir-fried with bell pepper, onion, carrot, mushroom, and baby corn in a spic. 74 N. 9th St., Noblesville Phone: (317) 773-9990 | Web site: www.asiangrillindy.com Hours: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., MondayThursday; 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday; noon to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday.

Commentary By Tracy Line It’s nice to stay someplace different every once in awhile. And if money is no object, different can be anything from a hotel with giraffes to an underwater diving adventure to a night in a Boeing 727. Consider: Giraffe Manor This beautiful lodge in Kenya offers views of both Mt Kilimanjaro and Nairobi’s Ngong Hills. But the best view is right under your nose. The Rothschild giraffes living on the property often peek their heads right through the windows of the three-story inn. You can feed them, pet them or just watch them meander about the beautiful grounds. Visit www.giraffemanor.com for rates and information. Jules Undersea Lodge Dive enthusiasts or even new divers will appreciate this watery destination in Key Largo, Fla. Once a research laboratory, the hotel is 21 feet below sea level in the mangroves of Emerald Lagoon. Rooms have 42-inch round observation windows for watching the angelfish, parrotfish and barracuda that frequent the area. The

Jul’s Package includes room, dinner, breakfast and , of course, unlimited diving and gear. See www.jul.com for details. Boeing 727 Prefer a higher locale? Check out the Hotel Costa Verde in Costa Rica. Guests stay in a refurbished 1965 Boeing 727 perched atop a 50-foot pedestal. You’ll have two bedrooms (each with a bath), a kitchenette, dining room and terrace. Observe the wild sloths, toucans and monkeys of the Manuel Antonio jungle, or simply hang out on the terrace and enjoy the fantastic ocean view. See www.costaverde. com/727 to book your stay. Other choices For a tree house adventure, try the Out ‘n’ About in Takima, Ore. Stay in a refurbished prison cell at the Hostel Celica in Slovenia. Or, for a cool experience, try the Arctic Circle, an ice hotel in Sweden. Our world truly offers something for everyone.

Real Testimonies Patients...Real Testimonies Real I have struggled with foot pain for many years, I have had treatment and surgery from several very experienced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause lifestyle changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shopping with friends. I had accepted with sadness the reality that those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonderful results in less than a week after my treatment. It has now been several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, accomplished weight loss and outdoor activities once again. I encourage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back, too!

Two tables for the price It’s the size of the heart, not of none = a moral dilemma the building, that counts Commentary By Janna Lynas “Is this it?” my son asked as we pulled into the parking lot. All he saw on the outside was a little white building, stained glass windows, and, as we discovered, a locked front door. Soon enough someone with a friendly face heard our efforts to enter over the sound of the band warming up inside. She quickly took us to the rear entrance where coffee, juice and savory breakfast sandwiches were waiting. Most attendees of Deer Creek Community Church use the back door. Now, I know why. My son and I sat in old wooden pews, ate our breakfast and listened to the worship band practice as my husband prepared for the morning message he would deliver while substituting for the pastor of DC3 (their church nickname), located at 1008 S. 9th St. I was sitting next to an older gentleman, whose eyes lit up when he told me about the “little ones” who come to worship with their mother. The service wrapped up with a “rock-out” song, as my kids call it, and the little girls

danced up by the stage, around our seats and back again. Everyone smiled. I was captivated by this little congregation that faithfully gathers each week and operates with an almost too-small-to -mention weekly budget. I was enthralled by a family that preaches the Word, leads the singing and even invites the whole church to their home for a pitch-in dinner. What a privilege it was to be counted among these followers of God. Their attendance numbers and bank account have nothing to do with how they love their community. They do all they are asked in the name of the Lord and show their love in word and deed. Some people tell me, “I’ve tried some of the big churches, but that’s just not me.” Those people have no more excuses; there is a small church with a big heart right in the middle of town. See for yourself. Janna Lynas is a stay-at-home mom living in Noblesville with her minister husband Derek and three children. You may contact her at faith@ currentnoblesville.com.

result was that a Fishers woman scooped the toy up the next day, but my table was untraceable. I was promised a new table in 30 days and free shipping and handling for my troubles. But two days later, my table arrived. Problem solved. Thirty days later, this second table arrived. I’d let my guard down prematurely. A quick check of the credit card revealed the worst of it. No charges for either of the tables. Not one red cent. If I wanted to, I could have two tables for free and no one on earth but I would know. Four days later, the box is still setting there shoved up against the wall. I think I know what I will do, but I haven’t done it yet. What would you do if a moral dilemma arrived for you?

Commentary By Brenda Alexander As I wrestled the bulky box into my entryway, a sinking feeling started. I knew what was in this box – a mistake that would require hours to resolve. By the time I had verified the label, the sinking feeling had set. I shoved the box against the wall and walked away. “I’m not dealing with this right now,” I decided. “My meatloaf needs me.” I would not think about the box. The box could just set there while I went on with my life. Sometimes, instead of tables, Pottery Hut delivers moral dilemmas. The mix-up started a month earlier with the arrival of a much smaller box. It had the correct label, but clearly did not hold a table. I slowly circled it. Just as a rattle snake threatened frontiersmen, this box threatened my domestic tranquility. Nestled inside was an Ann B. Dextrous toy. Cute, right? Not when you are expecting a table. That’s when the phone calls began. The
