OUR VIEWS

It is our position a societal change in attitude is necessary to manage distractions while driving to ensure safety on the road. The National Transportation Safety Board recently called for a first-ever complete nationwide ban on driver use of cell phones and portable electronic devices. Distracted driving is the new DUI. Somehow, common sense eludes many drivers as they are behind the wheel of a 3,000-pound piece of metal when their cell phone rings or they hear a ding indicating a new text message. The current antitexting/e-mail-while-driving law in Indiana is difficult to enforce. If the onus is placed on the government to save us from ourselves and others who are driving while distracted, what does that say about our society? Should drivers be mandated to use a mobile application that automatically turns off cell phone capabilities while driving, or are they capable of using the “off“ button? Music, reading, grooming, eating and noise of passengers always have been frequent distractions for drivers – and now, PEDs. It is unrealistic to rely soley on the government to legislate drivers from being distracted. The hope is for a change in drivers’ attitudes to safely manage the distractions.

Penn State

It is our position the scandal at Penn State last year was, if not the darkest, one of the darkest moments in sports. We also believe Penn State made the correct decision in not allowing Joe Paterno to finish the season as head coach of its football team. The scandal, which involved allegations of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing young children who were involved in his charity, Second Mile was known to Paterno for at least part of the reported 15 years these actions occurred. Original reports claimed Paterno would finish the season and retire. We believe Penn State’s board of trustees made the correct decision in firing him on the spot. Paterno was put into a position that carried great prominence not only for the football team, but the university and surrounding area as well. He proved he was not up to the responsibility that came with being a community leader. No matter how great your football knowledge, not reporting Sandusky’s alleged actions proved Paterno was not a role model. We hope everyone has learned from Paterno’s transgression and takes the appropriate actions if found in the same situation.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Manilow one honoree for June 16 gala Barry Manilow, the award-winning songwriter and vocalist, is to be among the honorees at the June 16 gala at The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts, we have learned. Manilow and others to be named next month will be inductees to the Great American Songbook Hall of Fame at the Center. The Center has soft-launched table sales for the formal event on a one-onone basis, and they are said to be priced at $7,500 for corporate tables and $5,000 for others. Each table is to seat 10 persons. John Hughey, director of external relations for the Center, said Michael Feinstein, the Center’s artistic director, will launch the public phase of table sales on Feb. 15, when he will announce all the Hall of Fame inductees along with specific gala details. The Hall of Fame will induct new artists each year, recognizing their contributions to the Songbook. This is the second gala for The Palladium; the initial gala Jan. 25, 2011, was a sellout, and its tickets were the most sought-after Hamilton County has ever seen. Krieg DeVault is sponsoring the June event. To be clear, the June gala is not a Manilow concert; he will attend and perform, but that represents only a portion of the evening. Manilow, who you may not know is also a jingle writer of strong

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg repute, is a highly-decorated performer. Among his many honors: 1978-1980 American Music Awards Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist, 2006 Emmy for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program for Barry Manilow: Music and Passion, 1977 Emmy for Outstanding Special - Comedy-Variety or Music for The Barry Manilow Special, 1979 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for Copacabana and a 2002 induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. As for his jingles, beneficiaries of his handiwork include McDonald’s, KFC, Band-Aid, State Farm, Pepsi, Stridex and Dr. Pepper. We can’t wait to learn of the rest of the lineup for June.

Turtles in a half shell COMMENTARY By Lindsay Eckert I was in love with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a kid. I had the T-shirts, toys and the “official” swords. We went to the TMNT concert and it made an impact on us. So much so my friend got lost in the crowd of turtle-clad children; we found him in a full-out plastic sword fight with another “ninja turtle.” Not his mom’s proudest moment. We choreographed dances to the Turtles’ cassette tape and prepared for audiences (our families). We sold 25-cent tickets designed with glitter glue at our cardboard ticket booth, which was our summer lemonade stand. We were living the dream until the tape went missing. We searched to find our Turtle tunes, but no luck. That’s when my cousin accused my mom of hiding it. Mom denied the accusations, but helped us look as we accused her of “ruining our lives.” Then we heard her on the phone. “Oh my gosh! Who could talk at a time like this?” we said. Well, she was calling every Pizza Hut in a two-hour radius to find another tape. She finally found the tape, begged them to put it on hold and drove an hour to get it, denying her chance to get her eardrums back. She went from bad mom to best mom; we gave her one of those mugs as a peace offering.

When I went home for the holidays. I opened a box, marked “I love Hanson.” It was everything Hanson, VHS tapes, a stack of Bop magazines. But the most “treasured” find was the CDs – the sound of MMMBop and the sight of my hotpink, glitter-painted fingernails pushing replay after MMMBop’s last note popped in my mind. Flashback to middle school: Hanson’s new CD release day. The idea of not getting the plastic-wrapped CD filled with new songs in my hands until 3:30 p.m. was unbearable. But, Mom picked me up at lunch and bought me another CD that would never stop spinning. Now, a decade later, I slipped that CD in my car and surprisingly realized I still remember every single lyric to every song. As the pubescent voices swirled in my car, I started thinking how agonizing this CD on replay must have been for my parents. But, they put up with it and they paid 25 cents to watch kids dance like turtles. I know it’s not Mother’s Day, unless Hallmark has created a new one I don’t know about, but my goodness, Mom. Thanks for enduring that without ever throwing the CDs or me out of the car, and thanks for making my childhood glass half full! Lindsay Eckert is the managing editor of Current in Westfield.

Stop e-nnoying us COMMENTARY By Terry Anker Most of us know something nefarious can lurk in the unsolicited e-mail from a purported lost relative in central Africa who needs cash wired so “they can get transportation home.” These messages and the dozens of others glutting our e-mail inboxes are outright scams. Unlike the trusty mailbox at the end of the lane, the one on our desk (inside of our locked and secure personal domiciles) is far more dangerous. Certainly, folks have used the post office to cheat and steal since the early days of post. But the Internet has accelerated crime right along with its many blessings. How do we tell the difference between a legitimate offer and one cleverly concealing a computer virus ready to steal our personal information and hijack our friends list? But not all of this SPAM (defined not the tasty, guilty-pleasure, meat product but as junk mail) is treachery. Some of the messages are invitations to attend events for causes to which we have no interest, solicitations to sample pharmaceuticals and other cures for problems with which we are not afflicted, updates on all manner of topics which require little appraisal, or the retelling of another crude joke from a distant acquaintance that is sure the urban legend must be passed to “10 friends or something

bad will happen.” This mix is largely harmless enough. One doesn’t need to do more than press the delete key. Yet, what is the difference between connecting with others and e-nnoying them? How much information – even transferred in the most passive way – is simply too much information? And even more importantly, how do we help folks understand they are sharing too little too often? Don’t we all want to be connected and informed – yet how much can we really consume? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@ currentincarmel.com.

Mammogram missing masseuse and mimosa COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I must say I’m rather disappointed. I waited to write this column until after my appointment, confident I’d be bursting with hilarious anecdotes and entertaining mishaps. But alas, here I sit with nary a tale and a sense of anticlimactic restlessness. The Mighty Mammogram turned out to be not so mighty after all! Because I turn 40 painfully soon, my doctor encouraged me to schedule a baseline mammogram. Luckily, I have no family history of breast cancer or any other risk factors, so I’ve been able to delay the exam until now. And I have wanted to delay it. The thought of some technician with carny hands shoving my girls between ice-cold metal plates recalled long-suppressed nightmares of breastfeeding twins, when I was nothing more than a strung-out milcher working overtime. Nevertheless, I made the stupid appointment and figured at the very least, the experience would make for a good story. But nooooooo. For starters, the breast center was more like a spa than a doctor’s office, with soft ambient lighting, faux-mahogany lockers and friendly, welcoming women. If I’d had a mimosa and a masseuse named Paulo, I would have gladly relaxed all day! I was actually disappointed my wait was so short, as I’d discovered a missed edition of People Magazine and was thoroughly enjoying a quiet moment. My nurse did not in fact have

carny hands, and explained every step of the procedure to dissuade my lingering anxiety. The worst part was the slight embarrassment I suffered at having so little to work with, if you catch my drift. Yes, I was squeezed a bit, and yes, for a second I vowed to create the first ever scrotal-gram machine to see how men liked having their giblets flattened like a crepe, but honestly, it was no big deal. I’d definitely take a mammogram over a pap smear any day! So since nothing traumatic happened, allow me to plug an opportunity to contribute to breast cancer research: In conjunction with the Super Bowl and Indy’s Super Cure Initiative, the Komen Tissue Bank in Indianapolis is hosting a breast tissue collection event Jan. 28-29. Researchers recently learned their center is the only one in the world to have both healthy and cancerous tissue samples from two separate women, a major development in breast cancer research. Their goal is 700 samples, with half coming from women of diverse ages, ethnicities and geographic backgrounds. To register, visit http://komentissuebank.iu.edu. Peace out.

Texting technology in Westfield By Lindsay Eckert lindsay@youarecurrent.com Westfield Communications Dept. is adding technology to community communications in 2012. The department is in the process of researching software and implementation strategies. Carrie Cason, city of Westfield spokesperson said the project is in its early stage. “We don’t have any concrete information just yet,” Cason said. Cason added incorporating texting as a form of stronger communication between the city and Westfield residents will help residents in their daily lives. “We hope to have residents sign up via City of Westfield’s Web site and be able to text important information such as road closures, major accidents or any breaking news information,” Cason said. The texting alert system is one of Cook’s initiatives for 2012. For more information about Cook’s initiatives for 2012, visit currentinwestfield.com

Electronic system sweeps away paper for City of Westfield

Queso Blanco closes its doors By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com Just after celebrating its fifth anniversary, Queso Blanco Mexican Restaurant closed its doors last week. Orange signs, stating retail transactions at the closed location constitute a Class B misdemeanor, now line the restaurant’s windows. According to the Indiana Dept. of Revenue, such notices are given to businesses that haven’t been collecting sales and food and beverage taxes, and remitting the taxes to the state. The Indiana Dept. of Revenue could not confirm if that was the case with Queso Blanco. Landlord Cliff Bradley said owner Terrel Gray

had paid rent regularly, but failed to notify him he was moving out of the building. “I received a call from a neighboring business Jan. 2 they were loading up moving trucks and that’s how I found out,” Bradley said. “He was trying to load up and disappear.” According to Bradley, Gray allowed his in-laws to live in the upstairs portion of the restaurant. “I had some heating and air units installed and that’s when I found out he had moved family upstairs to live,” Bradley said. Bradley said he’s working with potential tenants and said future plans include using the building for a shared kitchen for caterers. Gray was not available for comment.

By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com The City of Westfield’s Clerk Treasurer’s office is leading the way for paperless technology and giving department heads a real-time view of department budgets. Westfield Clerk Treasurer’s office is a pilot location and the only Hamilton County municipality to implement the paperless service for the city to pay its vendors electronically instead of handling paper checks. “Each paper check we cut costs about $12,” Clerk Treasurer Cindy Gossard said. “The electronic system allows us to make payments faster and cuts costs because we aren’t using envelopes, stamps and several steps the paper Gossard system required. We’re increasing our efficiency and I’m proud of what we’re doing.” Todd Burtron, Mayor Andy Cook’s chief of staff, said the software used for the electronic system, Microsoft Navigator, has made business more productive. “Department heads can approve payments even when they’re out of the office for train-

ing or vacation without having a pile of items waiting to be reviewed when they get back,” Burtron said. According to Burtron, the electronic system improves department spending plans. “It allows department heads to make efficient decisions as they track purchases; they have a real-time view as budgeted items are purchased. If something costs $50 they’ll see that subtracted from their budgets right away versus the paper system that had monthly reports recorded on spreadsheets.” Burtron said the City of Westfield actively seeks ways to improve the government’s efficiency. “We knew there was a better way of business out there. Our government saw how the private sector had made changes and we embraced those changes in our daily business,” Burtron said. “We decided to try it and it’s working.” Burtron said the Clerk Treasurer’s office plans to make more changes to increase efficiency with an electronic system. “We will improve revenue tracking such as property tax money, motor vehicle taxes and cigarette taxes.”

By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com Penn Street will be adding a second energy-efficient house on its historic street. The Anderson Corporation said there are plans in the works to build a second home next to the efficient house, 135 Penn St., the corporation built last summer across from City Hall. The four-bedroom home is for sale. Owner Jim Anderson said the lot for the second home has been purchased and his corporation plans to build a two-bedroom house with the same efficient model and features as the first home the company built.

Anderson said building a second home was motivated by the community’s voice. “We had a lot of positive feedback and I want to build and nurture that momentum we have going for Penn Street,” Anderson said. “The house will be smaller and built with the same quality and efficiency as the house next door.” Anderson said he plans to break ground for the house in the spring.

Target gets new look in 2012 By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com Target in Westfield started 2012 off with a bang as it began work on of a 13-week remodeling project. Store Team Leader Adam Miller said the store’s food café is also under construction and will be reopened Jan. 20 with new benches, a new look and mostly the same food products. Miller said the updated food café isn’t the only improvement the store will go through in the next three months. “We’re basically giving the store a face lift and giving shoppers an entirely different shopping experience,” Miller said. “We’re adding a pharmacy, new fitting rooms and offices.” Miller said the most drastic change is the grocery section, which will include fresh produce and fresh meats. “We currently have 17 aisles for grocery items. After the remodeling, we will have 42

aisles for groceries,” Miller said. After Target’s interior gets a face lift, the building’s exterior will be getting a new look too. “The building’s exterior will have a brick façade and new paint. There are no plans to expand the size of the store,” Miller said. Target is hiring employees during the renovation.

A Fresh Start for the New Year

Among family law attorneys, January is a peak time for new clients. The first Monday after the holiday break has even earned a nickname known as “Divorce Day”. It isn’t meant to be insensitive, but reflects the real statistics that many couples are motivated after the holidays to seek a solution to their marital difficulties.

Separations and divorce filings typically slow down in the months of November and December as spouses attempt to maintain their relationships for the sake of their families and children through the holiday festivities. However, the winter holidays can be very trying for marriages that are already experiencing serious problems. The additional stress created by financial pressures, family dynamics or unfulfilled expectations can accentuate rather than mend the cracks in a relationship. The long holiday break is often the final straw for many couples who have postponed separating. Once children return to school and spouses return to work, many are resolved to proceed with a fresh start for the new year. Initiating a divorce may seem overwhelming, but alternatives to traditional litigation provide more options for spouses who are concerned about the emotional and financial burden of the divorce process. After the holiday expenses, some couples may not feel that they can afford to divorce, even if they are struggling with ongoing marital conflict. Remaining in an unhealthy situation can be more even more damaging, especially if parties have attempted counseling and have not been able to repair their marriages. But options such as collaborative law and mediation are methods which are often less costly, financially and emotionally, and empower couples to have more control over the divorce process. It can facilitate the transition into the next stage and help preserve the co-parenting relationship, minimizing some of the negative effects of divorce. The Family Law Practice Group at Harden Jackson LLC offers comprehensive legal services including litigation and collaborative law for clients considering a fresh start and contemplating divorce or separation.

It’s ‘ruff’ getting a dog park By Lindsay Eckert lindsay@youarecurrent.com Westfield pet owners have been asking for an outdoor pet playground where their dogs can run freely on green grasses. But, so far the idea of a dog park has been just that. Although the Parks and Recreation Dept. applied for the grants last year to create the dog park, it was denied. Last summer, the department was just one vote from receiving a grant. Some residents asked why a dog park was not included in the 350-acre Grand Park athletic empire or given as much attention as projects such as Grand Park and Grand Junction. Kim Hajduk said a dog park is something people have been wanting for a long time, but it keeps getting pushed aside. “The City of Westfield is working on the big Grand Park, but what happened to the dog park?” Hajduk said. “When me and my friends were voting for the grant for the dog park, we

were so close. On the contest, they showed how wonderful the park would look and I was so happy to have the possibility to finally have a dog park close to home.” Melody Jones, director of the Parks and Recreation Dept., said those requests are in the process of being answered. “The Parks and Recreation Dept. has substantial plans for a future dog park already in place,” Jones said. “We have a design for a dog park to be located at Osborne Park which is located on Ditch Road. This project is not funded at this time, but we hope to look at moving it ahead in 2014 or 2015.” Jones said getting on the city’s capital project priority list determined by the Mayor Andy Cook’s office will get the project moving on the right track. Current projects on the list include Monon Trail, Midland Trace Trail and the development of Grand Junction.”

Bob Knight signing in Carmel By Kevin Kane kevin@youarecurrent.com Dominique Ball said Bob Knight is the biggest name in the history of Indiana sports, and that’s why he’s bringing Knight him to Carmel. Knight – a Hall of Fame basketball coach who won three national championships leading the Indiana Hoosiers - will come to Authentic Sports Collectibles at Carmel City Center Saturday. ASC opened Nov. 1 at 715 Hanover Place, and Ball said he has been working on bringing Knight to the store for more than a month. “I wanted to go big and who’s bigger than Bob Knight?” he said. The signing is open to members of the public who purchase one of the 500 tickets available. Tickets can be purchased at the store from now until the day of the event, but Ball said waiting until the 14th may leave some without a ticket, as he expects media coverage – including an appearance by Knight on The Bob and Tom Show scheduled for this week – to put the tickets in high demand.

Ball said ASC’s contract with Knight prohibits him from publicly disclosing the price of each ticket but added that, in his experience, attending autograph sessions offers the best prices on signed memorabilia. “To come witness the guy sign it, that’s the cheapest way to buy it,” he said. “It’s cheaper than buying it retail.” Attendees are allowed to bring one item per purchased ticket, and Ball said there are very few limitations on what can be presented to Knight to sign. Traditionally, Knight has politely refused to sign two editions of Sports Illustrated covering his firing at IU as well as copies of A Season on the Brink. Aside from that, Ball said, nearly anything is fair game. “He’ll even sign a chair if you want to bring that,” he said. Ball said he has many other signings planned for 2012, including appearances by “Mean Joe” Greene, Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Gale Sayers, Mike Alstott and more. Ball said those seeking more information or to purchase tickets can call him directly at 554-9906.

Mitch Daniels would appoint his replacement – Democrats contend Osili should replace him.

How Westfield became a city By Lindsay Eckert lindsay@youarecurrent.com The City of Westfield will be celebrating a new beginning of its own in 2012. The former town was incorporated as a city four years ago. Today, the city has grown to more than 30,000 people with a fully functional city council and mayor. Although Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said 2012 will show the progression of projects such as U.S. 31, Grand Park and Grand Junction, the community has been making progress far before shovels dug into the earth at Grand Park. On Jan.1, 2008, the town of Westfield was incorporated. Eight City Council members and Cook were sworn in. Cook Cook said starting from scratch was a challenge proved valuable to conquer. “We had nothing to start with, and we didn’t know what to even start with,” Cook said. “But we worked together and discussed ideas amongst each other and residents, and we created a vision. That vision led to the identity we are developing now with Grand Park and Grand Junction.” Westfield Realtor Wendy Vivirito said it is Westfield’s growth as a city that has developed the city into more than a map dot, but somewhere people know and recognize. “I used to hear, ‘Where is Westfield?’” Vivirito said. “Today I hear about the city just north Vivirito of Carmel where there is a lot of growth and activity. I love to see the city maturing in its image, controlling development by knowing where it wants to head as a city while still maintaining a fantastic school system.” Vivirito said the city’s anniversary isn’t the only thing to celebrate. She said Westfield’s ability to create family friendly and community-enriching experiences helps people enjoy their daily life even more. “We have so many growth opportunities with the walking/ biking trails being connected and city events such as the Farmer's Market, Westfield in Lights and the Grand Junction Derby,” Vivirito said. “There’s so much more to look forward to with Grand Junction as well as bringing the Arts to our city.” Anne Poynter, director of Downtown Westfield Neighborhood Association, said Westfield’s transition to a city made it a stronger community with a stronger community voice. “Westfield becoming a City enabled residents to have more power/input toward developing Westfield's future,” Poynter said. With the ability to have local government services managed by and provided to Poynter Westfield citizens, it gave us a

greater sense of community. The ability to vote on leadership and invest in a community's future makes everyone care more about it.” Poynter said Westfield’s new designation helped build organizations along with business and growth. “DWNA was organized the same year Westfield became incorporated,” Poynter said. “It was the opportunity to build that sense of community in the transition that inspired DWNA to be formed.” The City of Westfield was born from the community’s voice for more involvement. Former Deputy Mayor Bruce Hauk, who worked as the director of Public Works when Westfield was still designated a town, said the City of Westfield was born from community voices wanting to be heard. “There were several reasons for Westfield to become a city, most of them primarily deal with township residents wanting legislative represenHauk tation,” Hauk said. Cook said the process of becoming a city involved questions they didn’t always know the answer to. “We were looking at a lot of different things. Do we have to recodify all town ordinances? Will the mayor be a full-time position or part-time? The City Council members were creating a mayor’s salary for the first time,” Cook said. “I consider the transition a success.” “Citizens and government officials wanted Westfield to become a city after areas of Westfield Township such as village farms and a southwest portion of Centennial were annexed to be part of Carmel,” Cook said. “Although the area was in our township, we weren’t a city, so Carmel was able to make that part of their city.” After Washington Township was annexed to be part of Carmel and lost the major areas of development, Westfield was even more motivated to become a city. “How do we allow huge developments to happen and not be part of our township? We knew we needed to be annexed and become a city,” Cook said. “We didn’t want our citizens to go through that again.” Cook said his role as Town Council president and actively working with Hauk helped make his transition to mayor seamless. Cook said Westfield’s different approach for running a city has helped Westfield grow. “I spend a lot of time outside working with people and projects

I oversee more the development of the city.” Cook said. “It’s a different format of government and we’ve been successful.” Cook said the process of transitioning from a town to a city took a lot of work and focus on details. “Looking back at the beginning, we were looking at all the details. We worried we’d miss something we didn’t know about, but we spent two years gathering How Westfield information and became a city: planning for the transition. We were prepared,” 2004 A referendum was passed for Cook said.

DISPATCHES » Go half and half – Commit to mixing treats, half and half, with something harmless or healthful. Examples? Mix regular soda with diet soda or, better, seltzer or club soda. Mix sweetened yogurt with plain yogurt. Mix any kind of fruit juice with plain water or seltzer, and so forth. After a few weeks of this – if you remain diligent – you will find that your tolerance for sweetness declines. Then cut down to three-quarters and one-quarter. Eventually, the things you used to love will taste cloyingly sweet. -www.dlife.com » More effective Prozac – A new study in mice reinforces recent findings that fluoxetine – or Prozac – by itself doesn’t give a strong benefit unless accompanied by cognitive “talk” therapy. In the study, researchers conditioned mice to be afraid of a noise by giving them a small shock when they heard it. After the fear conditioning, some of the mice were given what the researchers call “extinction therapy” — the researchers reduced the mice’s fear of the noise itself by making the noise but not giving the accompanying shock.

Mice that had been treated with fluoxetine and given the extinction therapy had different brain responses to the noise and were less likely to freeze when they heard it in the final stage of the experiment than mice given only one of the two treatments. -www.myhealthnewsdaily.com » Tighter abs, better back – Having strong core muscles (we’re talking abs here) can help protect your back from injury.

Exercise in 2012? Remember these tips ANTI-AGING By Bryan Mayol, MD Literally every system in our bodies is healthier with regular exercise. We should strive to get at least 30 to 60 minutes of vigorous exercise every day. Other than smoking or other substance abuse, leading a sedentary life is the unhealthiest thing you can do. To reduce healthcare costs, many employers are creating financial motivation for people to get active – hitting people in their wallets if they refuse to make exercise a priority. So, keep some things in mind as you begin to exercise routinely. To burn fat from around the midsection or hips, do NOT focus on exercises that “target” those particular areas … it doesn’t work that way. Working those muscles is good but they will still be covered up by the fat, so have realistic expectations. Fat is stored calories; get rid of it by doing ANY exercises that burn calories effectively. Perhaps the best exercise for the average person is not running, but instead the stair climber, especially taking two steps at a time. It combines an excellent cardiovascular workout while building leg muscle (by having to work against gravity) with very low impact and joint stress. Building muscle helps the body burn more fat 24 hours a

Nip, lift and tuck

ANTI-AGING By Dr. Barry Eppley Q: My breasts are slightly droopy and I want them to be perkier. I thought I needed a lift but one doctor I consulted with said I needed more volume in my breast instead of a lift. He said this could be done with an implant or fat injections. The length between my nipple to sternal notch is 22.5 centimeters. Should I have a breast lift or breast augmentation? If augmentation is best, which treatment is better? An implant or fat injections? A: The key to knowing whether a lift or the addition of volume can make the breast look better depends on the position of the nipples. If the nipple sits above the lower breast fold, then volume is the answer. While I do not know exactly what your breasts look like, knowing the distance from your nipples to the sternal notch is only 22 centimeters tells me your nipples are definitely above the inframammary folds. That is essentially a completely normal or ideal nipple position; the normal range is 18 to 22 centimeters depending on the length of one’s torso. The use of fat injections for augmentation of a variety of body areas has become very popular in plastic surgery recently. While it is widely accepted for volume augmentation of the face and buttocks, its use in the breast is controver-

sial. This is because an augmentation method already exists that works well and is very reliable – an implant. For overall breast augmentation, an implant works better, is a one-step procedure and will cost less. If there is just one area of the breast that needs filled in, then fat injections become the preferred treatment.

day and helps maintain strength, and therefore independence with aging. As adults, we are getting weaker every day unless we are actively working to build muscle. Running will burn calories, but it is hard on many joints and is more likely to break down muscle than build it. Focus on weight-bearing exercises with functional movements, promoting balance and helping prevent osteoporosis. Core strength is extremely important for all of us for many reasons. Emphasize the eccentric (muscle lengthening) phase of any type of weight lifting by taking about four to five times as long to lower the weight as to lift it. This gives even better results with using less weight, reducing injuries and actually stimulating tendon healing. Keep in mind stretching right before exercise has consistently shown NOT to prevent injuries. A gradual warm up is much more important, then stretch either during or after your workout, which is much more effective.

According to the report, hiring ended down 3.2 percent year-to-date nationwide and paycheck size also decreased 0.8 percent year-to-date. However, optimism

increased to 63 percent from 53 percent the past two months, rising from an all-time low of 33 percent in September. Additionally, 50 percent of small-business owners said they plan to hire in 2012 and 56 percent intend to raise wages for some or all employees. Only 2 percent indicated they would reduce wages. » Rich is $34,000? – It only takes $34,000 a year, after taxes, to be among the richest 1 percent in the world. That’s for each person living under the same roof, including children. (So a family of four, for example, needs to make $136,000.) About half of theses people – 29 million – live in the U. S., according to calculations by World Bank economist Branko Milanovic in his book “The Haves and the Have-Nots.” Another four million live in Germany. Statistically speaking, none live in Africa, China or India despite those being some of the most populous areas of the world.

Stock picks for 2012 Oneok Partners (OKS) – Nothing like being in the right place with the right pipeline capacity. Oneok’s system is a good match with the increasing volumes of natural-gas liquids (as opposed to natural-gas gases) being produced in the shale boom in the U.S. Into 2013, there will be a shortage of natural-gas liquid pipeline capacity in the region, which guarantees that Oneok’s system will be filled at solid prices. The company recently raised its estimate of distributable cash flow for 2011 to $850 million to $880 million from an earlier projection of $735 million to $760 million. That’s the kind of growth in payout an investor in a master limited partnership wants. Western Gas Partners (WES) – This MLP formed in 2008 with assets spun off by Anadarko, which remains a major investor. Beginning with six gathering systems and a transmission line in Texas, the Rockies and the Mid-Continent when it went public, the partnership has added

assets such as a gathering system in the Powder River Basin that have increased the system’s natural-gas liquids exposure. Almost all of Western Gas Partners’ revenue comes from long-term, fee-based and fixed-price contracts, so cash flow is extremely stable. The unit’s current yield is about 4.1 percent. Canmarc Real Estate Investment Trust (CANNF) – Canmarc owns a portfolio of 84 commercial and retail properties in Canada. Office vacancies in Canada are running at about half the rate in the U.S. So it’s not surprising Canmarc has attracted a takeover bid from Cominar Real Estate Investment Trust. Canmarc’s management has rejected the bid, and the market certainly thinks that a) Canmarc is now in play and b) it will attract a bid above the Canadian $15.30 that Cominar has offered. Analysts think Canmarc could attract a bid as high as Canadian $17.50. -www.money.msn.com

Resolve to improve daily DOUGH By David Cain Why do we wait until a new year to change things? As the packed workout facilities will attest, we like to resolve to do new things at the start of a year. I get it. I do it too. But, does positive change have to start at the beginning of a year and is it mentally healthy? Here’s my big-picture resolution – improve daily. You can create a new habit in 30 days. So if I think of something I want to improve every day and put it in action, in 30 days I will have created a new positive habit. I’m shifting the power of New Year’s to any time during the year. Why not empower every day with the ability to change the things you don’t like? Most resolutions are founded in self-improvement (or self-hatred) and rooted in dissatisfaction. You want to change the things you don’t like (or hate) about yourself – lose weight, drink less, quit gossiping, stop smoking and the like. Self-hatred is a dangerous thing. I’ve always remembered the saying, “Your subconscious can’t take a joke,” as a response to someone who made a self-deprecating comment. Think about it. Your subconscious mind doesn’t know how to joke, it’s practical and it has a good memory. Unmet resolutions or any goal founded in your dissatisfaction with yourself can eat away at your subconscious mind and empower your fears. Happy people are more successful. Happy

people are more attractive. Happy people, well, are happier. Create happiness for yourself and throw out the resolutions, replace them with realistic changes you want for yourself with timelines that fit. This year, instead of a list of resolutions, I’m making a list of things that make me happy. Here’s to your happiness this year!

Winter Skincare

Enjoy!

While most of us focus on protecting skin in the summer, it is important not to neglect your regimen during the winter. Here are five tips for maintaining healthy skin through the colder months:

Free brow wax with any facial appointment

1. Continue to use SPF! Use at least SPF 15 to continue to protect your skin. 2. Exfoliate skin twice a week. This can help remove dry skin and uneven tone caused by exposure to the sun. 3. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Winter air is drier without the humidity of summer, so your skin needs extra nourishment to stay healthy. 4. To get rid of chapped lips, carry around a trusty tube of balm or Chapstick. Exfoliating lips lightly with a toothbrush can also get rid of dead skin on your pucker. 5. Stay hydrated and exercise! Besides the multitude of other benefits, doing so can help maintain a fresh and healthy glow.

Our New Year Resolutions for Men 2012 promises to be quite the year for fashion. Updating your look and refreshing your usual routine will make it easy to embrace the latest trends. Here are a few tips for transitioning in style for 2012. Clean Out Your Products: Whether it’s that bottle of Advil in your medicine cabinet or an old jar of aftershave, products have an expiration date that should not be ignored. Check your products for their date and toss anything expired! Get a New Cut: Update your look with a fresh cut for the new year. Salon 01’s talented men’s stylists, Norma and Ernst, are incredible at finding your signature cut that is just right for you. Wear SPF Everyday: Skin cancer is serious and highly preventable with proper awareness. Protect yourself every single day with a moisturizer/SPF combo. Men often neglect preventative treatments but we can change this trend in 2012! Stock up on your sunscreen! Salon 01 sells Jack Black sunscreen for me. Treat Yourself to a Hot Lather Shave Each Month: Ernst Buckingham has over 22 years experience in men’s work. He heads up our barber services in the salon. Treat yourself monthly to a hot lather shave from Ernst and see your skin change before your eyes. A quality shave is the perfect base for taking your look from scruffy to polished.

Removing walls and bulkheads makes a difference REMODELING By Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home was built in 1985 in the Thistlewood subdivision on the west side of Carmel. The homeowner has lived in the home since 2000. When asked why they remodeled, their response was, “It was time to update. We always hang out in the kitchen and we’ve been thinking about remodeling for a couple of years. We like the neighborhood and our neighbors and we wanted to stay put!” REMOVING WALL AND BULKHEADS: The structural engineer determined the wall separating the kitchen from the family room was nonload bearing. This made it economical to completely remove the wall and open up the two rooms. The existing carpet in the family room was removed and new prefinished hardwood flooring was installed. “We are so glad we had the wall taken down between the kitchen and the family room. What a dramatic difference it makes in opening up the entire house.” The existing bulkheads in the kitchen were removed and the drywall was patched and the lighting was relocated. This allowed the new wall cabinets to be extended completely to the ceiling including decorative two-piece crown molding.

Before NEW CABINETS AND MORE STORAGE: The new maple cabinets are painted in cashmere white with raised panel full-overlay doors and flat slab drawers, with dovetail drawer boxes and full-extension drawer glides. Other updates include a stone-tile backsplash, under cabinet lighting, pendants over the peninsula and dark granite countertops. The homeowner commented, “We’ve increased our storage capacity tremendously. We had the peninsula updated with some beautiful new pendant light fixtures.” FINAL RESULT: The homeowner commented,

The dark side of molding PANACHE By Vicky Earley If you are a true interiordecorating aficionado, I am sure you have experienced this. It happens when you least expect it. You know the feeling … you walk into a room and let out an inaudible gasp. The room is incredible and you have to stop take it all in. I visited the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island, S.C., over the holidays and had just that experience. Strangely enough, it wasn’t the grand foyer that took my breath away. It wasn’t the dramatic staircase that stopped me in my tracks. It wasn’t the opulence this resort is known for that turned my head. These were all details that were beautiful but expected in a resort. Instead, it was the hall that leads to the shops and spa that caught me off guard. It was painted an unassuming pale blue and the thick molding around the windows, the crown molding and the doors were all painted a sophisticated black. Yes, black paired with an unassuming pale blue. The theory sounds awful but the execution was incredible. Black is the grounding color that flatters any hue which stands alongside it. Black is thought of as the sophisticated color, but for those who

16 | January 10, 2012

fear the dark, it’s often written off as too risky. When the thought of black walls feels like a guarantee your room will move over to the dark side, consider the reverse … light walls and black trim and doors. Crown molding, doors, shoe molding, stair treads, railings, bookcases and cabinetry take on an air of importance when painted black. Here is where it gets complicated … black is not just black. Just like the “safer” creamy colors, there are undertones which can bring out unwanted undertones. The most common issue is the cold blue cast which comes from glossy, true black paint. To correct that, I look for warmer blacks. Fired Earth by Valspar is an excellent choice for a brown/black effect, while Black Fox by Sherwin Williams is a truer black. If spraying your molding or doors is not an option, use a dense foam roller. Brush marks will be more obvious with the gloss of your black paint. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in downtown Carmel. If you have an interior design question, please contact artichokedesigns@ aol.com.

After “Our newly remodeled kitchen area is warm and inviting. The designers were able to capture the reflection of our style. Our home seems more up-to-date and really brings our whole house together. We absolutely love it!”

The magnificent seven LAUGHS By Dick Wolfsie Is it too late to break … I mean make … some resolutions for 2012? I have compiled a list of several work goals I have set for the new year: Give each humor column a catchy intro. Last week I wrote this great first line for a future column: “I’m in pretty good health right now, and I hope that next year when I reach 65 years old, all my parts will be working – especially Medicare parts A, B and D. I will avoid puns. For example, in a column last year, I wrote about a report by the FDA warning trace amounts of peanuts were somehow getting into jams and jellies, a concern for people with certain food allergies. “This is Jensen down in security. There’s a suspicious looking character who wants entry into our processing plant.” “Well, who is it, Jensen?” “He says he’s a federally approved additive, but between you and me, I think he’s some kind of a nut.” I changed my mind. Scratch number two. I will try to avoid repetition of certain expressions. Last year I used “going to the slammer” in reference to people sentenced to jail. Next year, I’ll be sending people to the pokey, the crowbar hotel, the big house, the freezer and up the river. I will spend less time thinking up headlines for my features. Newspapers seldom use my

Current in Westfield

suggestions, since they are not the same width as the column. Here are a couple examples: • Bra Vo (About spam mail I received selling intimate apparel) • Non Scents (About my losing my sense of smell) I will wrap up each essay with an unexpected conclusion. My wife already enjoys each finale. Here was my favorite last paragraph in a story about my decision to start a fitness program: “My macho neighbors helped me lug a huge barbell up to the second floor of our house. I hoped that after working out with lighter weights, I would 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.” Well, it made my wife laugh. I promise to cut my wife a little slack … unless she annoys me or does something really silly, like what she did Christmas morning. I’ll tell you the whole story in next week’s column. Finally, I will endeavor to make my writing more concise. My columns are usually about 600 words, but last year, I honed a few of them to less than 580. Newspaper editors tell me the less I write, the better. Thank you. I think.
