County queens make an impact after fairs By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Twenty county fair queens recently participated in a service project planned by 2012 Hamilton County 4-H Fair Queen Sarah Huber to help at a donation drop-off day at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. “Several of the girls have stayed at Riley themselves or know someone who has been treated there, which is why we wanted to give back to the hospital through this service project,” Huber said. The group wore pink T-shirts during the event that read, “It’s not just a crown; it’s a megaphone.” Huber said this had been the group’s motto since they all competed at the Indiana State Fair Pageant in August. “It reflects our commitment to making a difference and sharing the values of 4-H,” Huber said. “I think this was the first service project of its kind that has involved so many county queens, which is very exciting and I hope becomes a tradition. We were so excited when the staff at Riley told us that what we accomplished in a few hours would have taken their regular volunteer staff a week or two to complete. That goes to show how even just a small amount of time or effort can make a huge impact!” Huber said she and her fellow county queens were planning more service projects for the upcoming months. “I have no doubt that we will continue serving others long after we pass on our reigns because it is such an important aspect of life,” she said. “I really encourage everyone to find a way to get involved and give back, no matter how big or small.

Council recap
What happened: Bridgewater, Parcel G 100 percent voluntary annexation What it means: The annexation plan is for one parcel of property approximately three acres on the southeast corner of Setter Road. The plan will have little to no impact on the city. City officials said the property was supposed to be annexed in 2006 with the surrounding properties but was omitted in the legal form.
What’s next: The annexation will be considered for adoption on Feb. 11.
What happened: Board of Public Works and Safety grant of additional jurisdiction What it means: Certain issues that are presented to the council are more appropriate for the expertise of the Board of Public Works. These matters include but are not limited to: appeals from fines related to illegal sanitary sewer and storm water sewer system discharges; requests for reductions of fees and fines imposed by the Westfield Code of Ordinances; any fee, fine and/or charge for utilities that as imposed are unfair, unjust, miscalculated and/ or impose an unintended hardship on a citizen; initiation and management of fees related to any extraordinary costs associated with the storm water fees, and management of the storm water system.
What’s next: The ordinance will be considered for adoption on Feb. 11.
What happened: Text amendments to the Bridgewater planned urban development What it means: Attorney Jon Dobosiewicz is asking that the council amend the Bridgewater planned urban development. The property at the northeast corner of Carey Road and 146th Street is adjacent to five homes along Deerwood Drive on the east. Homeowners have asked the existing row of trees not be removed. Instead, developers are looking at constructing a sevenfoot masonry wall and plant supplemental trees and bushes on both sides.
What’s next: The Advisory Plan Commission will host a public hearing on Feb. 4 and provide a recommendation on Feb. 19.
What happened: Complete Streets Policy What it means: The Complete Streets Policy is designed to encourage developers, elected officials, government agencies, planners, engineers and architects to use an interdisciplinary approach to incorporate the needs of all users into the design and construction of roadway projects within the city. The complete streets concept involves designing and building roads that adequately accommodate all users of the city’s transportation corridors, including pedestrians, bicyclists, users of mass transit, people with disabilities, the elderly, motorists, freight providers, emergency responders and adjacent land users.
What’s next: The complete streets concept should be adapted to fit local community needs and should be used to inform and enhance future transportation planning.

Professional soccer team coming to Indy By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Ersal Ozdemir, president and CEO of Keystone Construction Corp., a member of Current Publishing’s board of directors and a Carmel resident, announced at a press conference last week that he planned to bring a professional soccer team to Indianapolis. “I believe the world is getting Ozdemir global,” Ozdemir said. “In the United States, soccer has evolved significantly over the last 15 years. I have seen the improvements in my short lifetime, and at some point as it continues to grow, we feel that the sport is going to even catch on in a bigger way at both a spectator and a professional level. We are trying to be a part of that growth.” The currently unnamed team will be formed as a member of the North American Soccer League, a Division II Professional League including 12 teams across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The team is slated to play its first season in 2014. Ozdemir has hired Peter Wilt, former president and general manager of the Chicago Fire, to lead the team-building initiative. The team is slated to play its first two seasons at IUPUI’s Carroll Track and Soccer Stadium in downtown Indianapolis with plans for a standalone, permanent stadium coming sometime
Village Park Plaza
in the future. The venue was consistently voted as the best location for the team by local fans of the initiative. A number of renovations are planned for the stadium in hopes of creating a more intimate and soccerspecific atmosphere. Ozdemir emphasized the importance of Hamilton County facilities and residents as part of the team’s success during the next several years. Wilt Wilt said the team was brainstorming ideas to make use of Westfield’s Grand Park sports campus as well as ways to embrace youth soccer teams and families throughout all of Central Indiana. Grand Park, which Ozdemir referred to as “a Mecca,” could play host to several of the team’s exhibition games and training sessions after its completion in 2014. “Carmel and other Hamilton County communities are the core strength of soccer in the state. If you are going to put a target in the Midwest, Carmel and Hamilton County is ground zero for youth soccer support,” Wilt said. Both Ozdemir and Wilt expressed an interest in creating a grassroots campaign around the team. Part of the campaign will be allowing fans to vote on a team name, logo and colors sometime during the next two months. For more information regarding the plan and the team, visit www.indyprosoccer.com.

Cover Story
After years of beautiful custom floral arrangements in Westfield, Union Street Flowers creates table centerpieces at Gov. Pence’s inaugural ball By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For almost 20 years, Union Street Flowers & Gifts has been the place to go for special occasions or when residents just need a bouquet of flowers. For his Gubernatorial Inaugural Ball last Monday, Gov. Mike Pence turned to the downtown Westfield business for floral arrangements for his important day. “We were pretty excited when we got the call,” Becky Weiss, owner of Union Street Flowers, said. Downtown Westfield Association President Anne Poynter, who is also Pence’s sister, recommended the business to Pence’s committee. “It’s quite an honor for our local florist to have been selected for this prestigious event,” she said. “I knew they could meet the challenges and (then) a broader community would know what great florists they are.” Interested florists were asked to send a sample to the inaugural ball committee, which selected Union Street Flowers’ design. “Everyone else had to make our arrangements,” Weiss said. While the prestige of such an event is great, it did come with a few challenges, including a small budget, short timetable and a sudden curveball. Weiss said there were three small Indiana flower shops selected to do the arrangements and each was asked to provide 60 centerpieces. However, one backed out and the other flower shop in Muncie said it could only do 70 arrangements, leaving Union Street Flowers to fill the remaining order of 112 centerpieces. To create the arrangements, Union Street sent florist Caren Goodwin and Kristin with a truckload of flowers to JW Marriott where the two made the centerpieces on site. The duo spent almost 12 hours creating two different arrangements – one with hydrangeas and roses and the other of orchids in water – the day before the ball. “We had a lot of fun,” Kristen said. “It was a different event.” “This is the biggest thing we’ve done. It’s just an honor for the store,” Goodwin said. “Obama will be calling next for his inauguration.” The Weiss family then spent two hours placing the centerpieces around the room two hours before the ball began. “It was like Cinderella. We worked, changed and enjoyed the ball,” Becky said. “I wanted to get all dressed up to be a part of it. We had a great time.” www.currentinwestfield.com
The younger Weiss had a harder time keeping up. “I was just really tired. I was going off adrenaline,” Kristen said. “There were so many tables. It was overwhelming; I had to take in the amount of people there.” The Weisses were particularly proud that their arrangements were placed on the head table and were noticed by the state leader and his family. “Karen (Pence) was really excited and said she loved them,” Kristen said. “Gov. Pence shook our hands, looked us in the eye and said, ‘Good job.’” “Everyone was very impressed with what they did,” Poynter said.

Meet Becky and Kristen Weiss
Relationship: Mother-daughter Age: Becky-52, Kristen-22 Residence: Westfield, the two don’t share a house anymore but are next door neighbors. Birthplace: Both were born at Riverview Hospital in Noblesville. Education: Both spent 12 years in Westfield Washington Schools and graduated from Westfield High School. However, Becky graduated from Indiana University and Kristen went to Purdue University and graduated in May 2012. Hobbies: Becky likes to read and cook while Kristen enjoys shopping, watching TV and being with friends. Favorite part of the flower business: Kristen really likes the chaotic times around holidays and doing wedding arrangements. Becky hates the holiday rush but likes dealing with people and making those relationships with customers. Personal quote: “God is in control and he takes care of us. He walks beside us, he walks in front of us and he walks behind us. He is always there for us,” Becky said. Kristen said her motto is Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Current in Westfield
Union Street Flowers & Gifts is a true family affair. Becky’s husband, Dave, opened Westfield Pharmacy in 1981. The Butler graduate then expanded and opened Sheridan Elliott Pharmacy in 1986. Union Street Flowers & Gifts started in 1994 in a back corner of Westfield Pharmacy. The Weisses heard complaints from residents that there was no florist in Westfield after Carol Brookens sold Westfield Flowers to care for her ailing mother. “It started with a cooler,” Becky said. “It was called Flowers by Carol to drive on her customer base.” As the business began to grow, it moved from a corner into its own side of the pharmacy building. The business grew again as Kristen, who had worked in the shop since she was 13 years old, joined the staff after her college graduation. “I was thrilled Kristin called us from Purdue and said, ‘I want to join the business,’” Becky said. “I really like weddings and special events. I learned design skills from previous staff members through hands-on learning. I also did 10 years of floriculture in 4-H,” Kristen said. “I like to hang out with my mom, we’re best friends.” Union Street Flowers & Gifts, 101 S. Union St., specializes in weddings, celebrations of life, special events, home décor and silk floral arrangements. Becky said the store delivered countywide and had the ability to send flowers anywhere in the world with telefora. For more information, call 867-2525 or visit www.unionstreetflowers.com.

Pence’s budget a decent start
Flu Season
It is our position that the flu epidemic should be taken seriously. This influenza season, 21 Hoosiers have died from flurelated illnesses. A flu shot is recommended for everyone six months old and above, in particular children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems should be vaccinated. If you are diagnosed with flu, stay home for the exception of seeking medical treatment. Germs are easily spread in the workplace, church, school, grocery stores, shopping malls and other public places. It is also particularly important to practice good hand hygiene to assist in preventing the spread of germs. According to the Centers for Disease Control, hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice while washing your hands if you need a timer. Cough and sneeze into a tissue and then throw the tissue away. Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu. While not scientifically proven as a cure for the flu, a home remedy in the form of Matzo ball soup from your favorite delicatessen is guaranteed to at least warm the soul if you are battling the sniffles.

Dark and stormy Commentary by Terry Anker “It was a dark and stormy night.” No wait. “It was a very dark and very stormy night.” Charles Shultz’s beloved character, the beagle named Snoopy, would begin banging out on his vintage typewriter as he sat atop his doghouse and imagined himself to be the great American novelist. The canine boasted a highly developed sense of imagination routinely assuming the mantle of a World War I flying ace or erudite academic attempting to bring along his hapless, if loyal, friend the yellow bird, Woodstock. Certainly he showed great devotion to his owner, Charlie Brown, and spirit of joy whenever it was supper time, oh supper time, but Snoopy always impressed me in his willingness to jump into everything he did with both feet. It didn’t work out every time. In fact, it often didn’t proceed as planned, but he found the courage and optimism to charge ahead boldly, seemingly unaffected by the concerns of Woodstock or the admonishments of his nemesis Lucy Van Pelt.
If every fantastic journey begins with a step and every great book begins with a single sentence, then why is it that we so resist making an initial move? Does fear of dashing our own self-created expectations prevent us from ever trying in the first place? Or can we legitimately point to those around us for creating an environment wherein we fear error so much that no action is pursued? Snoopy may have never managed to produce the great American novel but his willingness to try (and fail) helped make him an icon. There is little room today for error. We fear costly mistakes and routinely sacrifice our personal freedoms grasping at an elusive world without risk. Can a responsible person push the boundaries of self-definition? Maybe we should ask, how can we not? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@ currentincarmel.com.
Imagination is the highest kite that one can fly. - Lauren Bacall Current in Westfield
With Mike Pence’s inauguration as the 50th governor of Indiana only just concluded, the Columbus Republican launched headlong into signing a series of executive orders. While seeking to replace outgoing Gov. Mitch Daniels, Pence campaigned strongly on a platform favoring job creation and economic growth, which we heartily endorsed. And so with the ink on his new business cards barely dry, what did he do to further that effort? He put forth a budget that aims to achieve on his promises while reducing taxes. We like that. The budget keeps spending a full percentage point below inflation, and we like that, too, although we’d prefer deeper cuts – but this is a work in progress. In addition, the budget maintains adequate reserves to protect us against further economic downturn. His budget aims to invest $18 million, though, across two years for adult workforce improvement, and reduce personal income tax by 10 percent. His office stated: “This will put $500 million directly back into the Hoosier economy and permanently reduce the tax burden on most small and mid-sized businesses and family farms. The move will let Hoosiers keep more of their hard-earned dollars to save, spend or invest as they see fit,” which is exactly as it should be. We consider his effort at fiscal management a laudable start, but it’s only a start. We’d like to see his subsequent efforts be even more aggressive on reducing spending; it’s an initiative that’s never too late to initiate. ••• Hillary Rodham Clinton, the outgoing secretary of state, is going to testify Wednesday about the horrific events that unfolded in Benghazi.

Humor
Parenting as celestial payback Commentary by Danielle Wilson You know what I find annoying? The way people without children criticize parents. As if they even have a clue about what they are saying! But you know what I find hilarious? The way those same people always end up being the craziest parents around. Take one of my good friends. She’d frequently make snide comments about my parenting: “You spoil your kids;” “You need to relax more;” “You shouldn’t be freaking out over daycare.” Most of the time it was all in good fun, but occasionally she’d touch a nerve. And let’s be honest, no mother wants to be told (even if it’s true) that she’s not doing a good enough job. Until you’ve been in the trenches yourself, keep your mouth shut! Well, folks, my friend had her first baby a few months ago, and after having spent a few days with her new little family, I am thrilled to report that she did not escape celestial payback for her pre-pregnancy words. She has become the classic first-time mom, complete with anal-retentiveness out the wazoo, hypochondriacal tendencies that result in absolutely no one being able to touch her daughter without CDC biohazard clearance, and a child who has no self-soothing abilities whatsoever because she is never allowed to cry. Love it! Seriously, I can’t tell you how much pleasure I take in watching her do the exact same things
she used to criticize me for, and consequently, suffer a tiny bit because of it. She and her husband still can’t figure out how their DINK lifestyle slipped out the back door without so much as a good bye. Ooh, I know! They spend an inordinate amount of time in the bottle preparation department (short of an actual autoclave, I’m not sure they could get those things any more sterile), hold the baby 24-7, and rely too heavily on the Internet and lunatic bloggers for their decision-making. Basically, she does the same idiotic, controlling things Doo and I did when we had our first. I love my friend, and she is truly a fantastic mom. But thank you, Karma/Fate/Mother Nature/Whoever for making my year! She finally understands how difficult parenting is, and how important receiving love and support from everyone, even those without children, is to surviving the adventure that is motherhood. So to those of you not yet calling yourselves a mommy or daddy, be careful what you say. What goes around comes around, and this time, it’ll involve diaper rash and lactation consultants. Peace out.

Andy Newell
Casey Harshbarger By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com Drummer Ben Williams remembers clearly a life-changing moment. “I was 16 years old, and a friend of mine came by my house,” he said. “He had his car window down and he was playing ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ by Cream. And I just remember hearing that song and thinking that I had never heard a song with a drum so deep and such a cool riff. It really opened my ears, opened my mind, opened my eyes. I went out and bought a Cream album that day!” In the two decades since that musical revelation, Williams, a Noblesville resident, has never lost focus on music, never ceased to build on that musical legacy, nor closed his eyes, ears, or mind to the possibilities of new frontiers in music. “After I started listening to Cream, I wanted to find out all I could about [Cream guitarist] Eric Clapton,” he said. “Through Clapton, I got into Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. I got books on all those artists. I wanted to know everything there was to know about them. That was when I came across Robert Johnson.” Johnson, the legendary and enigmatic bluesman, of the 1920s and ‘30s, continues to influence Williams to this day. As members of the blues/rock power trio, the Warrior Kings, Williams, guitarist Casey Harshbarger, and bassist Andy Newell wove that influence into their self-titled, debut disc. The track, “Robert Johnson’s Revolver,” is a direct homage to the iconic blues figure. “That song is really about a traveling bluesman and all of the dangers he would face on the road. A lot of them would carry revolvers 12 | January 22, 2013
Warrior Kings on a mission of music for protection, to keep them from getting stiffed, or getting robbed,” Williams said. Moreover, that song is part of a larger metaphor for the struggles and challenges that people face in contemporary times.
“The lyrical themes deal with the life of an everyman,” Williams further explained. “Topics of love, lust, war, carnage and the need to understand the hard questions, and even the hard answers this world gives us.” Yet, the beginning of the Warrior Kings is not a story of challenges or adversity, but rather a coming together of like-minded individuals. Williams and Harshbarger were introduced when both were playing at Northview Church in Carmel. “I just pulled out my guitar and played a song for him, and he really liked it. We just knew right away that we wanted to form a band together,” Williams said. “We’re the same age, we have the same taste in music, we’re both fathers with two children. We have a great working relationship. And Andy is the icing on the cake. He’s a real prodigy. For such a young guy, he is really in demand! He stays busy!”
Benjamin Williams All three shared one key element: the desire to push musical boundaries with blistering blues, rock and jazz blending seamlessly into loose jams and tight playing. “The album to me is a new twist on the fusion of the blues, rock and the psychedelic,” Williams said of the disc. “We wanted to avoid cliché and predictability … That’s why we dig playing live. We are always looking to outdo each other. When we jam, we turn a four minute song into a seven or eight minute song. It’s not monotonous. One of our goals is to do a live album.” Harshbarger and Williams both give music lessons and want to pass on that knowledge of and hunger for music, just like the older guys passed it on to them. “We are on a mission to please the listener’s ear. We want to continue the blues/rock, and we believe our music has the power to do it,” Williams said. “My hope is the formula changes that people aren’t afraid to challenge their minds, branching out into new music. Going out listening to bands perform new music and perfect their craft, there’s nothing like it.”

End of Watch • R, 109 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd File “End of Watch” under the list of best movies of 2012 that you probably haven’t seen … or maybe even heard of. This terrific, gritty and surprisingly funny portrait of a pair of Los Angeles Police Dept. officers patrolling South-Central Los Angeles is one of the best cop dramas in recent memory. Michael Peña and Jake Gyllenhaal play Mike and Brian, a pair of young cowboys who, as one boasts “get into more capers in a single deployment shift than most cops do in their entire career.” Writer/director David Ayer fills his movie with lots of harrowing scenes of fistfights, gunplay and other brutality. Yet it’s the humanity of the relationship between these two guys that
breathes life into the film. They crack jokes on each other, make fun of their ethnic heritage and exchange advice about the women in their lives. But when the gangbangers bring the heat, they instantly shift into soldier mode, becoming one mind with two guns. Ayer often films from a first-person perspective down the barrel of a pistol, putting the audience right in the thick of it. Don’t miss this one.

Riverview Hospital’s new cardiovascular equipment is saving lives By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com
Doctors, nurses and children cut the ribbon opening Community Hospital North’s new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit last Tuesday. (Photo submitted)
Community Hospital North opens new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit news@currentinwestfield.com Community Hospital North officially opened its new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit last Tuesday. The expansion increases access to critical care services for Central Indiana children. An extension of Community North’s 20room children’s unit, the PICU is a state-ofthe-art critical care unit that provides advanced, life-saving treatments and technologies that help provide care for infants, children and adolescents who become severely ill or injured. It is the only location on the Indianapolis northeast side offering critical care for children. The PICU team is led by Vin Gupta, M.D., who is board certified in both pediatrics and pediatric critical care medicine through the American Board of Pediatrics. According to Gupta, the new unit will allow physicians to treat children with acute illnesses, serious infec-
tions, drug overdoses, severe seizures, diabetic complications, or those involved in an accident or a near-drowning incident. “Utilizing equipment designed to meet the size-specific needs of the pediatric patient, our physicians are dedicated to the care of our hospitalized children,” he said. Community North’s President Barbara Summers said the growing amount of pediatric services the hospital offered represented its mission to serve the northern Indianapolis region. “It is important that we provide opportunities for patients and families to stay in the community,” Summers said. “Families facing the stress of having a critically ill child will no longer have the added burden of long, expensive commutes. This is one more way we can help keep our sickest children close to home while receiving the best care available in our region.”

A chance opportunity helped save the life of Hamilton County’s Greg O’Connor. The Noblesville resident also serves as the Riverview Hospital Foundation Board Chairman, which is why he decided to have a heart scan done with the hospital’s new 128-slice CT scanner even though he felt fine. “Since I was on the foundation board, I thought I should know about this if we are trying to promote it,” he said. “They place three electrodes on your chest, run you in and out of the magnet three times and your images appear on the screen. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes.” While he was in the waiting area for his results, O’Connor learned his calcium level numbers were “not quite where they should be.” “For a lot of people it’s 0 to 50 or 100, mine were north of 500. It was like warning signs and lights were going off,” he said. After having two stress tests done and another scan of his heart with radioactive dye, it was determined that O’Connor did not have any blockages in his arteries, but his high score meant there was potential for damage. O’Connor said that following his tests and results, he made a conscious decision to eat healthier, work out, lift weights and strengthen his core muscles. In the year following his com-

mitment, O’Connor lost 50 pounds, decreased his blood pressure from 140 over 90 to 110 over 80, and his blood sugar levels are normal. “I dealt with the situation before it became a real serious event,” he said. “I’m a walking testament that once you get on that path you can’t stray too far off. It was a wake-up call for my life.” Riverview Foundation Executive Director Trish Oman said the 128-slice CT scanner had been lifesaving. “We’ve had people come in and there have been things that they were able to detect not otherwise detectable because they had the scan done,” she said. Oman said there had been occasions when patients go straight from the 128-slice CT scanner to open heart surgery. “One guy had a scan because he just got on Medicare and was advised to get a test. After the test the man got in his car and headed home. Doctors called him and told him to turn around and get back here. He had an aneurism,” she said. “It’s a wake-up call for a lot of people.” Oman said the foundation purchased the CT scanner in October 2010 and the digital imaging catheterization lab in May 2008. The new technology combines the two to better serve doctors and patients. “There isn’t another hospital that has that combination in Indiana,” Oman said.

Move the Needle: First impressions Commentary by CJ McClanahan
As much as I enjoyed an uptick in the temperatures last week, the warm weather also brought something I dislike a great deal – water in my basement. This past Saturday at 10:30 p.m., during a downpour, we discovered a ton of water in our basement. In addition, because our sump pump had stopped working, the water was rising fast. We contacted a plumber and water restoration company hoping they could help us out. After the plumber left at 1:15am, my wife and I sat and waited for the water restoration company to arrive. The doorbell rang at 1:30 a.m. We were both exhausted, it was pouring outside, and we had just written a big check to install a new sump pump. I was not in a good mood. I was greeted by two guys in their 30s who looked like they were in the middle of a long night. They were soaked, and I can only imagine how badly they wanted to go home and get dry. They smiled, thanked us for the opportunity, and quickly convinced us that the process would be painless, and they would be gone as quickly as possible. My disposition changed in a second. No www.currentinwestfield.com
longer was I as frustrated with the situation. Instead, I was grateful that we were able to get people in the house before there was a foot of water in the basement. The change in my mood happened within 30 seconds. That’s the power of a first impression. Most people think that they have minutes, hours or even days to influence the opinion of others. What research has clearly indicated is that people form an opinion almost instantly. What’s more important is that this initial judgment is extremely hard to change. Luckily, making a positive first impression is fairly easy. Always start by putting yourself in the shoes of the person you are meeting (or speaking to on the phone) and ask yourself – “What do they expect?” Then simply smile and exceed those expectations. As with most things in life, intellectually speaking this is easy. All you need to do is choose to execute. Choose wisely.

Little dogs can bring big problems
Commentary by John Mikesell
There are a number of advantages to sharing your life with a little dog: • They take up less room! • You can have several in the same amount of space as one Great Dane. • They share your bed without hogging it. • They don’t eat as much, so they are less expensive to feed. • You can get by with smaller backyards, and often (though not always) lower fences. • Little dogs’ poops are tiny and inoffensive, even in the house-you can pick up their mini feces with a tissue and flush them down the toilet. • And it’s easier to train a little dog than a Mastiff to use a litterbox, if that suits your life style. Just try to picture a Mastiff in a litter box. • Your little dog is less likely to knock over
your 93-year-old grandmother when she comes to visit, although a little dog can run under her feet and trip her. • The little dog is highly portable; you can fit him under an airline seat, in your shopping cart, or in a doggie backpack. And you can still drive a sports car. • Finally your little dog is less intimidating to people who are fearful of dogs, and more acceptable to landlords, hotels, motels, outdoor cafes, and other public places. There are however, some disadvantages: • Little dogs do break more easily, especially those with very fine bones, such as Chihuahuas and Italian Greyhounds. • Because of their small size, they can be mistakenly perceived as good pets for children. Some of them can be, but they’re not automatically the right choice for small humans – it depends on the individual dog, a good socialization program, and the child’s abil-

ity to be gentle with and careful around a tiny dog. • Their reputation as yappy ankle-biters is not entirely undeserved; they can become defensively aggressive if they feel threatened – and it’s easy to feel threatened when you are surrounded by humans and canine giants who are anywhere from 10 to 100 plus times your size. What you can do? • Commit to giving your little dog a bigger life by providing him with good-manners training that make him welcome anywhere dogs are allowed. • Respect your little dogs needs; don’t coerce him just because he’s little and easily overpowered. • Protect your little dog appropriately from unwanted attention and potential threats.

Grammar Guy / Travel
There’s contraction misuse afoot Costly travel mistakes to avoid Commentary by Jordan Fischer
Commentary by Tracy Line
Question: I thought I’d feed you a couple ideas for future columns based on some of my own pet peeves. The first is actually a vocabulary issue, not grammar. But it involves the use of the word “myriad.” I think most people think they’re sounding really smart when they use this word, even when they’re using it incorrectly. The second is much more pervasive and much more egregious in my opinion. That is the use of “there is” (or one of its variations) when they should be using “there are.” For example: “There’s lots of opportunities out there for new graduates.” What bothers me most about this misuse is that it’s so common among people, like business executives, public officials and others who you’d think would have had enough education to know better. – Chris Painchaud, Carmel Answer: The incorrect use of “there’s” is pretty common, isn’t it? It’s just so easy to say. You’ve hit the nail on the head, though. For plural objects, as in “opportunities” above, the correct phrase would be “there are.” Even our loyal, if not always accurate, friend Microsoft Word knows that rule and will underscore an incorrect “there’s” with its helpful green squiggly. It’s hard to leave those in these columns, by the way, even for educational purposes. In colloquial speech, I see how the misuse of “there’s” could have arisen. While “there’re” is technically grammatically correct, it’s awkward to say. And it doesn’t even save you a syllable. Of course, the better option is still to say “there are,” but, hey, pick your battles, you know? In written communication, I would hope the misuse of “there’s” remains limited to texts, since most spell checks should catch that (and contractions are generally to be avoided in formal writing, anyway). In case you’re wondering why I use contractions in my column, it’s because I see it as a friendly, informal space where grammar enthusiasts can discuss the myriad peculiarities of language. And also I’m lazy.
So it’s January and you’re counting down the days until you leave for your winter escape. If you plan to leave the country for your grand getaway, you’d be wise to make a few phone calls before you go. Doing so can help you avoid many costly (and unnecessary) travel expenses. Call your cell phone service provider. International phone calls and texts can be outrageous. Worse yet, you’ll absorb the expenses even if someone calls or texts you. The good news is most phone providers can add an international plan to your account for the time you’re traveling. Arrange this in advance, and you’ll save money. Then you can call home to check on your dog Duke without hesitation. Call your insurance company. No one ever plans to get sick or hurt while on vacation, but it happens. Not all insurance providers include out of country coverage, so call yours to find out if you’re covered. If you’re not covered, purchase travel insurance that includes medical coverage. Call your credit card company. Credit card companies are working hard to make sure the charges on your card are actually yours. If you don’t call in advance of your travels, your charges may very well be denied. This not only leaves you in a bad position, but you may end up paying debit machine fees to get cash. Even worse, you may have to forego buying your favorite souvenirs. Call the airlines. I can’t stress it enough. Airlines fees are rampant and each year they seem to increase. Call your airline to see what they charge for baggage, if it’s cheaper to pre-check bags online (versus when you arrive at the airport) and what the weight limits are on bags. Paying an extra $100 for your overweight bag is not the way to start your vacation.

Creating a beautiful bathroom in a small space Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL BATHROOM: This home is located in the Irvington neighborhood on the east side of Indianapolis and was built in 1941. The current owners are the third owners. The property is the original farm in Warren Park, a four-block radius neighborhood near Irvington. According to the homeowner, “The bathroom is tiny and the prior owners had installed bypass sliding doors on a very high tub. I broke my foot over the summer and struggled to use the shower. We knew we needed a lower tub and more countertop space.” DESIGN PHASE: Maximizing storage in a relatively small footprint was the main design goal for this bathroom. By reworking an adjacent closet, space was able to be added to the bathroom. Tower cabinetry allowed the use of the vertical space. Material selection and overall style reflected the desires of the client. “When I was in Italy, I saw gorgeous marble bathrooms and I knew I wanted one for myself,” the homeowner said. “Our designer suggested the curved vanity. I like angles, and wanted an old-world feel to the bathroom - a vintage modernized look. That is where the idea for the curved van-
Before ity came from.” FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented, “The marble tile is the star of the show in this remodel.” Elegant 12-inch by 12-inch tiles in a staggered pattern cover the shower wall, finished with Hampton Carrera bullnose and crown molding. On the floor, 1-inch Hampton Carrera hexagon tiles were laid in a straight pattern. According to the homeowner, “I really like the flooring in the new bathroom. During design, large tiles on the floor just did not seem to fit. The small tiles are juxtaposition to the large

After tiles on the shower wall.” FINAL RESULT: “When I walk in to the bathroom, I feel like I am in a spa, even though it is a small space. You do not have to have a large space to create a beautiful bathroom.”
