The ‘in’ color – Columnist Vicky Earley has the scoop on PANTONE® 17-5641 Emerald. The 2013 Color of the Year is a radiant green that sparkles like its namesake gem. Earley says you’ll expect to find this precious gemstone color most commonly used in interior decorating in small pops of brilliant color against neutral backdrops. “Only the bold will go forward with entire rooms painted in this luminous shade,” she writes. In Spirituality – Columnist Bob Walters explains the meaning of holy, righteous and blessed. “Holy, righteous, and blessed: three good things that I want to be, that I want for those I love, that I want for the entire world. Who doesn’t?” he writes. “But what are we really talking about? Do these words mean what we think they mean? Is this really what we want?” To find out, visit www.currentinwestfield.com.

Legislators
Congresswoman Susan Brooks talks about her new position By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com On Nov. 6, 2012, residents throughout the 5th District went to the polls and voted for a new representative. Susan Brooks, a Republican and Hamilton County resident, won the seat, receiving more than twice as many votes as her competitor, Scott Rieske. As a freshman Congresswoman, Brooks Brooks will be taking part in the 113th United States Congress that began last Thursday. The week before Christmas, Brooks sat down with Current at her now-empty campaign office to talk about the move to Washington, being a woman in Congress, and replacing Dan Burton. Current: You hear stories about different members of Congress sleeping in their offices, commuting from home to work every day, or simply getting a residence in Washington D.C. How are you planning to handle having to be at two places at once, both within the district and in Washington? Brooks: I am going to be a commuter Congresswoman, meaning I will fly out on Mondays and come home on either a Thursday, depending on how late votes go, or on Friday and try to be home on most weekends. My husband is not moving with me to D.C., so I will be like other people who commute to work. I am renting a small studio apartment not too far from Capitol Hill. In fact, next week I am loading up the U-Haul, and my husband and my son are driving me out there. It’s a little bit like going off to college. I think it will definitely be a huge change in our lives, but I think it will be manageable. Current: You recently announced your committee placements: the Education and the Workforce Committee, the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Committee on Ethics. What are you hoping to accomplish with these committees? Brooks: Actually, the two committees that I did get on were both committees that I asked for. Because of my background at Ivy Tech Community College during the last five years, Education and Workforce was absolutely one of my top committees. Due to my time as a U.S. Attorney and the focus I had on homeland security after Sept. 11, Homeland Security was another committee that I had requested. Ethics, interestingly enough, is something you are asked to serve on, you don’t request it. I was asked by the speaker’s office to be on ethics and that ties in nicely with the fact that, on the campaign trail, I talked a lot about restoring confidence in Congress. Current: With these placements, are there any specific issues that you are hoping to address? Brooks: In Education and Workforce, because I’ve been very involved in the workforce training side of education, I think there are significant improvements that can be made in the www.currentinwestfield.com
manner in which federal unemployment dollars reach the people who need training. I think we need to increase the amount of each dollar that actually gets to worker training. We have a challenge in our system when we provide people up to 99 weeks of unemployment without requiring them to get training. I believe there needs to be a requirement that people have to go get training, have to improve their skills or have to get involved in higher education rather than just sitting on 99 weeks of unemployment and going out and applying for jobs all the time. I think we need to up our game in this country in the level of skilled workforce we have because we are competing with countries that have just as skilled workers as we have. Current: What can residents of the 5th district expect to see come back to the local level that you will be working on? Brooks: We worked hard during the campaign to develop very good relationships with the mayors in most of the communities throughout the 5th District and with local and state legislators. I don’t think it’s my job to tell them what I am going to do for them. I believe they, and the citizens of the 5th, need to be telling me what they would like me to be a strong advocate for. Because I am going to be commuting and returning here on a very regular basis, I hope to have a very open channel of communication with the people in the 5th as to what type of initiatives they want me to focus on in
D.C. I’m always going to keep a focus on jobs, what brings jobs to the 5th and keeps jobs in the 5th, because if people have work, there is far less dependence on government assistance. Current: You are the first Republican woman to be sent to the U.S. House of Representatives since 1959, with the previous woman being Cecil Harden of Covington, Ind. who served from 1949 to 1959. Brooks: Yes, that’s right … sadly. Current: Do you think that puts you in a unique position, at a disadvantage or do you not feel that it matters? Brooks: No, it does. It does matter because Indiana is actually sending two women to the 113th Congress. We are two of only three women coming to Congress in the 113th Congress, only three women out of more than 30 freshmen which I think is very unfortunate. I do believe that women are underrepresented in Congress considering that we are 50 percent of the voters, more than 50 percent of consumers that purchase products and make buying decisions in households. We need a much stronger voice in Congress. I want to be involved in encouraging and promoting women to consider running for offices at all levels.

Cover Story
As support grows, Hamilton County will be asked whether it approves of expansion of mass transit By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The community landscape is changing through new infrastructure, businesses, real estate and construction, but could mass transit further evolve Hamilton County? In the coming months, the discussion of a dramatic expansion of mass transit in Central Indiana will become more prevalent as community leaders and citizens support the idea. “We have a lot of education work to do,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said. “We’ll be going around making several talks about it to interested groups. I’m interested to see how the general public thinks about it.” Cook said the biggest problem facing supportCook ers was educating the public on the plans. Many think of trains and subways when talking about mass transit, but that is not the case for the proposed project, he said. “It’s primarily a greatly enhanced bus system,” he said. “I think it’s going to be huge for Central Indiana.” Through the Indy Connect Now campaign, members of the Indiana General Assembly are urged to authorize a referendum that would allow a vote by Marion and Hamilton County residents on whether to fund the enhanced mass transit system. Indy Connect Now Executive Director Ron Gifford said an attempt to pass legislation did not succeed last year, but he was hopeful this general assembly would be different. “Rep. Jerry Torr (R-Carmel) is committed to passing the bill with the support of a bipartisan group,” he said. “We expect several other folks will sponsor the bill in January.” To fund the Indy Connect plan, a voter referendum is needed to approve local funding in both counties. If approved by the general assembly, Gifford said a special election could occur this fall or during the 2014 general election. A petition is available online at www.indyconnectnow.com. It will be shared with state lawmakers who are likely to take up the issue during the new legislative session. “The legislator seems to be more receptive,” Cook said. “It’s
The Plan Phase I calls for five rapid transit lines from downtown Indianapolis to Noblesville and Westfield, with modern transit vehicles creating faster connections along key routes, as well as six express bus routes to provide quick access between major commercial centers. These lines are expected to be installed between 2017 and 2020. In addition to more bus routes, the Indy Connect plan will help decrease wait times at transit stops from an average of 30 minutes to 10 minutes on all the major lines. One rail line from Union Station in downtown Indianapolis to Noblesville will be in service by 2021. Indy Connect Now Executive Director Ron Gifford said these expanded transportation options would help retain and attract talented employees to Central Indiana. The Phase I project comes with a $1.3 billion price tag but Gifford said almost half of that would come from federal grants. “We think we are really well positioned there,” he said. To view a video showing the transformation of downtown with mass transit, visit www.currentinwestfield.com www.currentinwestfield.com

about Central Indiana competing with other metropolitan areas our size.” Gifford said expansion of the transit system would begin in 2014, with completion of the entire plan expected by 2022. He said the benefits of mass transit included connecting people to new job opportunities and healthcare facilities, mitigating traffic congestion and improving the Gifford environment (i.e. air quality) with electric and hybrid electric vehicles. “It’s a good option for people to get from point A to point B,” Gifford said. “It’s incentive for neighborhood and community development – development that wouldn’t have occurred otherwise.” “The rapid transit buses have dedicated lanes with limited stops and the technology to override traffic signals,” Cook explained. “It’s fairly new technology used across the country and less expensive to build than rail. We can utilize existing lines from Indy to Fishers/Noblesville.” According to Gifford, an investment in mass transit could lead to real estate development featuring new businesses, shops and apartments that open along the new rapid transit lines throughout the county. Within five years of building a new 10-mile lightrail line in Charlotte, new development brought in $1.5 billion for a city smaller than Indianapolis. Both Cook and Ditslear traveled to Charlotte to see the city’s light-rail as part of the Central Indiana Regional Council of Chief Elected Officials. “Charlotte is 10 years ahead of us,” Ditslear said, adding that Charlotte and other metropolitan cities have shown that a strong transit system attracts talented young professionals. “When I was younger we went to where the job was. Younger people pick where they want to live and Ditslear find cool jobs there.” Cook said the lack of transportation for workers was a big complaint from manufacturing businesses in Westfield, which currently has 70 job openings.

it would provide direct routes to downtown. Currently, the two main traffic ways to Indianapolis end at I-465. Cook said mass transit would provide a mutual benefit for Westfield and Indianapolis because visitors to Grand Park and Grand Junction could travel downtown and likewise for Indianapolis citizens. He added that if transit lines were in place, Hamilton County would have seen more tourism traffic from Super Bowl guests. “It really enhances both ways for us,” he said. “It provides options for visitors.” January 8, 2013 | 9
VIEWS
Opinion
Colts Strong It is our position that the Indianapolis Colts earning an AFC playoff berth is the feel-good story of the year. What started out as a season full of controversial player and management changes seemed all but doomed when new head coach Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with Leukemia early in the season. Immediately, fans put aside any animosity and Payton Manning withdrawal to channel their positive energy toward the healing of Coach Pagano. This ground-swelling effort took the form of the “Chuck Strong” campaign. The Colts organization led the way supporting blood drives, fundraisers and education efforts on Leukemia – complete with shaved heads in an empathetic sign of solidarity. Offensive coordinator/interim coach Bruce Arians, a cancer survivor, boldly vowed to extend the season to allow the return of a healthy Coach Pagano. Thanks to the outstanding efforts of Coach Arians, an emotionally-charged team led by rookie quarterback Andrew Luck and a dedicated fan base, the promise was fulfilled. Not-to-be forgotten are the accomplishments of General Manager Ryan Grigson who seemingly hit all the right buttons at all the right times. Among the dark clouds cast on 2012 by economic woes and national tragedies, thanks to the Indianapolis Colts, the game of football has warmed our hearts.

Hey, Washington: It’s the spending, stupid!
Unintended intentions Commentary by Terry Anker
As Washington continues its financial debates, we are befuddled by our sophisticated “adult” methods of problem-solving. We say one thing while doing another. We do one thing while saying another. Of course, these paradoxes are driven by all manner of constraint – time, money, skill and even direct self-deception. Why do we encourage folks in public prison to read the Bible and attend church but prohibit them from doing the same while attending public schools? Why do we forbid ourselves from actions that would atrophy and spark dependency with wild animals in public parks while we fail to do the same to protect millions of able-bodied Americans trapped in the death-spiral of a life on the public dole? As a college student decades ago, I visited Mexico and first encountered urban poverty. Yet, I was admonished by the chaperones to avoid giving money – even the smallest amount – to the scores of children begging on the streets. To be compassionate (and make myself
feel good) by tossing a few bucks into the basket would, I was told, create incentives, keeping the children out of the free Mexican education system and ensuring poverty for generations to come. If I indulged my instinct to ease the perceived suffering, then I was actually perpetrating a much greater harm. They instructed, give to institutions not to people! Were there cases where an individual child was in real need? Of course – human suffering is a part of being human. Yet, could I, in attempting to assuage the pain of one, actually lead to the pain of many? In all the season’s greetings and all the spending, it remains important that we measure our generosity by outcomes as much as by intentions. But, can a generous intention ever be bad with the unintended consequences made not pertinent?
We’re sure you’re as tired of reading this as we are of writing it: The GOP caves in, again. As everyone knows, the so-called “fiscal cliff” was “avoided” by a typical, kick-the-can-downthe-road approach by our legislative giants in Washington, D.C. Instead, we should kick those “leaders” out, starting with John Boehner (R-Ohio), speaker of the U.S House of Representatives, who continues to try to compete with President Barack Obama on who can lead the least. We say they’re both winners in that department. We’ve often said that the GOP should just shut down, as only late-night comedians would miss the party. However, we think a better approach for the nation is to shut down the Democratic party, leaving the GOP as is, which guarantees the existence of a liberal party. We then create a conservative party, which can help legislate common-sense solutions to our fiscal problems.

New Year’s resolutions – again YourConsignmentConnection.com Commentary by Danielle Wilson
I’ve made it another year, and per my usual M.O., I will now share with you, my adoring public, my New Year’s resolutions. I first did this in 2009, and while a bit frightening to share one’s goals with a few thousand strangers, I found I did a much better job of actually meeting some of those goals that year. 2012 was no different, and though I never got around to painting the family room and still didn’t spend as much time at night with my kids as I’d hoped, I was able to finally get that book published (still available for the incredibly low, low price of $14.95 at www.danielle-wilson.com!) I also found the patience to ignore the pig sty that occasionally poses as our house. So here’s the list for 2013 ... please feel free to mock, judge, and place bets at my expense. 1. Paint the family room. We have now been in our home for three winters, and yet our main floor living space is still a bright shade of sun-shiney yellow. (Maybe I don’t want to be happy this morning!) Do I fear commitment, or am I just plain lazy? Perhaps both, but this baby is going atop the list in 2013. 2. Swear less. I make this a resolution every single year and rarely see any progress. I admit to a potty mouth, but can’t seem to clean it up. So, damn it, I will try yet
again, for the sake of my children and Baby Jesus. 3. Make new friends. Doo is always encouraging me to be more social, though I truly am happy most nights sitting in a comfy chair with a good book. This year I’m going to squelch that anxiety that creeps up on me whenever I enter a new social environment and actually force myself to meet people! I don’t want to end up a lonely geriatric with cats, no matter how delicious the smut Nora Roberts turns out. 4. Appreciate my children for who they are, especially my oldest daughter. I frequently find myself critiquing everything from her hairstyle to her clothing choices, and generally for no reason other than I’m in a bad mood. She’s beautiful and interesting in her own way, and I love that she is confident enough to steer away from the mainstream. 5. Drink less soda. I’m hoping to obtain my caffeine fix through more natural channels like tea and Lindt truffles. Happy New Year to you, and good luck with your own resolutions! Peace out.

Weekend scams Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
“How was your weekend?” asked Stacie, a teller at my bank. “It was … it was great,” I stammered, pushing the deposit envelope just a bit. I had to quit doing my banking on Mondays or Tuesdays. The tellers always asked about my weekend. I would try to change the topic, but these people are very persistent. “Did you do something exciting?” Stacie would press on. “Yes, I did.” I was in trouble now. I had nothing interesting to tell her. “What was it?” she asked. “Stacie, I’ll take the cash I just withdrew int three, fifty dollar bills,” I instructed her, hoping to reduce the time of the financial transaction and thus shorten the length of the mini-interrogation. I knew I had just had a weekend; I just couldn’t remember it. The bank employees were only trying to be friendly, but they are all in their 20s and probably had a rip-roaring Friday and Saturday night. The truth is for me, simply getting a little dough out of my checking account is about the peak of my adrenalin rush for the week. For a few weeks, I tried telling the absolute truth, so when Stacie asked me about my weekend on a Monday, I’d say: “We watched Blue Bloods on Friday night, made a stop at Sam’s

Club on Saturday to pick up one of their awesome barbeque chickens, watched Meet the Press on Sunday morning and that evening went to MCL about 4:30 for the baked tilapia.” Then Stacie would give me the money I had withdrawn, but she also probably wanted to give me a cane or go with me to MCL to blow on my soup. That’s when I decided to go to the bank on Fridays, assuming the previous weekend was too far in the past for the staff to inquire about. But then Stacie questioned whether I had any big plans for the coming two days. I was honest again. I told her: “We planned to watch Blue Bloods on Friday night, make a stop at Sam’s Club on Saturday to pick up one of their awesome barbeque chickens, watch Meet the Press on Sunday and the head over toMCL about 4:30 for the baked tilapia.” The expression on her face was not only sympathy for my pitiful weekend plans, but terror that one day she would be a senior citizen, too, and this was what she had to look forward to. I do think the bank should show interest. But only in principal.

Frankenweenie • PG, 86 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd As a filmmaker, Tim Burton’s mostly been working on reanimation projects lately – taking old movies and making them rise from the dead as remakes crammed with computer-generated imagery. The results have been up and down, generally scoring at the box office but leaving lovers of his earlier work (I count myself) feeling disappointed. If “Frankenweenie” has a fresher feel than most of his recent movies, that’s because it’s a remake of his own short film. The original was live action, a black comedy about a boy who zombifies his pet pooch using Frankenstein-esque science. The spiffy new version is stop-motion animation, which suits the material well – a mix of heartfelt pathos and creepy-crawly horror movie elements.
Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) is crushed when his beloved dog Sparky is, er, crushed in a car accident. Indirectly inspired by his eccentric science teacher, Victor jolts the canine alive with electricity. But then the other kids in the neighborhood discover the trick, and soon the whole town is overrun with zombie pets. Despite the subject matter, “Frankenweenie” is sweet-natured and should be suitable for all but the smallest children. And adults will enjoy the references to classic horror creatures, especially the classic Universal Studios menagerie.

Which filler will benefit my needs? Commentary by Barry Eppley Q: I am confused about all the different injectable fillers. What do you think of the benefit of the filler Sculptra versus something like Juvederm for facial aging? A: Injectable fillers do have a role for some patients in the treatment of facial aging. However, it is very important to differentiate the ways injectable fillers are used. That distinction makes a big difference in which type of injectable filler is most appropriate. I divide injectable facial rejuvenation into two categories; spot and global facial rejuvenation. Spot rejuvenation includes such areas as lip enhancement, softening nasolabial folds, or filling in orbital tear troughs. Given the low volumes of filler needed
and sensitivity of the tissues injected, any of the hyaluronic fillers (such as Juvederm) may be used. Global, or volumetric, facial rejuvenation is different because it adds soft tissue volume to fill out the face, re-inflate it, and create a ‘lift.’ Given the volumes needed, the hyaluronic fillers are a bit cost prohibitive. This is where Sculptra comes in because it is a better ‘volumizer’ based on the way it is administered, works and persists, even though it takes a series of injections to create the desired effect.

Little changes go a long way in a cosmetic kitchen remodel Commentary by Larry Greene Original Kitchen: This client came to us wanting to update the look of her small kitchen. Built in 1994 and located in the Saddlebrook South subdivision in Indianapolis, the home’s original floor plan still worked well for the homeowner. However, there was a need and available space for a bit more storage. “It was time to remodel the kitchen. It needed an update, and things were looking tired. I wanted a purely cosmetic change, but needed more storage too,” the homeowner said. “With a tiny kitchen, that extra storage was the one thing that was missing. I love kitchen gadgets, and I needed more room to store them.” Cosmetic Updates: “At first, I was looking to just change the countertops and the sink, but the project grew from there,” the homeowner said. The final design called for laminate countertops in a Milano Quartz color for the main surface, and Tan Soapstone for the raised bar. A new sink and appliances were installed, as well as xenon undercabinet lighting. New canned lights increased the ambient and task lighting of the kitchen.
A new tile backsplash was installed with Sandlewood – Monterey Amalfi tile in a staggered pattern and a linen-colored grout. “The backsplash made a big difference in the appearance of the kitchen. The tile gives it more dimension, and I like the brick look.” Matching Existing Cabinetry: Unfinished red oak cabinets were installed and stained to make them look original to the space. According to the homeowner, “You cannot tell that the new cabinets were not there from the get go. I liked my old cabinetry and I wanted to keep costs down. Adding new cabinets that matched worked very well.” By balancing the design elements offered by the existing space with new materials and storage options, this cosmetic remodel was a costeffective way to give the client an attractive and functional kitchen.
