Run with a Cop teams with We Run Westfield By Lindsay Eckert• jordan@youarecurrent.com

The City of Westfield is lacing up its running shoes for a good cause. The WE RUN WESTFIELD running/walking team, which is composed of some government employees, is gearing up to race for a reason at the Indy 500 Mini Marathon on May 5. According to Carrie Cason, City of Westfield spokesperson, the team hopes to raise money for the Westfield Youth Assistance Program. Mayor Andy Cook is leading the charge and training to compete in the race. He makes it clear he’ll be walking the 13.1 miles, not running. The WE RUN WESTFIELD team consists of several employees and community members who want to benefit YAP, a program to help youth in need. “This is a completely new way to approach at-risk youth,” said Cook. “We are identifying youth heading down the wrong path, reaching out to them, providing treatment for the entire family and ultimately ensuring the child begins heading down the right path.” WE RUN WESTFIELD is teaming up with Westfield’s “Run with a Cop” Running Club. “In an effort to expand and get more community involvement, we want to merge both programs,” Westfield Police Chief Joel Rush said. “I think by combining forces, we can better promote health and fitness, and YAP community-wide.” WE RUN WESTFIELD will be meeting twice a week at Westfield’s Quaker Park, Wednesdays at 6 p.m. and Saturdays at 8 a.m., for training runs beginning March 7. Even if you’re not a runner, walkers and bikers are welcome.

“The group would like to take advantage of Westfield’s great trail system, so meeting locations may change,” Cason said. WE RUN WESTFIELD has a new Facebook page, so “like” it and receive updates on locations, training and overall health and fitness. Additionally, if you’d like to support YAP, you can purchase a WE RUN WESTFIELD T-shirt for $20. Call 804-3001, or email communications@westfield.in.gov for details

Volunteerism in the 21st century By Lindsay Eckert • Lindsay@youarecurrent.com

Westfield Parks & Recreation Dept. is getting technical with volunteerism. The department is in the process of getting on board the technology train and implementing an online volunteer management program through the City of Westfield’s Web site. Stephanie Fix, Westfield Parks & Recreation Dept. administrative assistant, said the Web site allows people to go in and check volunteer opportunities in the department, such as Arbor Day and Westfield Rocks the Fourth. “It’s an easy way to show all Fix our volunteer opportunities, including job descriptions,” Fix said. “Volunteers can visit the Volunteer Information Center, where they can actually manage their volunteer schedule, sign up for shifts and see who else is volunteering. It’s an easy way for them to track their hours.” Melody Jones, Parks & Recreation Dept. director, said the digital database not only increases convenience for volunteers, but it’s a program that Jones will help track volunteers and give the department a chance to recognize their

service to the community. “It’s a great tool for us because we have so many people volunteering, and we don’t have a way to track them. We didn’t even know who volunteered last year,” Jones said. “With this program, we can track volunteers so we can develop a volunteer recognition program honoring their work.” Jones said the program will increase communication within the city. “We’re looking at different forms of technology. We’re working with the informatics department to set up a touch screen check-in and check-out system on the iPad,” Jones said. Jones said there will be other ways to track volunteerism hours besides signing up for shifts. “Volunteers can also report volunteerism hours. For example, Plant A Row spent a ton of hours planting, watering, harvesting and delivering, but they really had no way of tracking their hours,” Jones said. “This program allows them to add their hours, and it’s a better way of tracking for their purposes and ours.” Jones said increasing volunteerism could potentially stem from introducing new technology into the department’s well-established programs. “We think it will put in a whole new dimension to our department with being able to utilize volunteers and making it really workable for them.”

U.S. 31 Project dates solidify

By Lindsay Eckert • Lindsay@youarecurrent.com

Mayor Andy Cook announced the most recent plans he discussed with INDOT at the monthly meeting regarding the U.S. 31 project and its impact on Westfield in the immediate years to come. Here’s what you can expect for the next three years: • 2012: A lot of demolition in areas, many off-line roads built. The extension south of Wheeler Road into Industrial Park and around 161st Street on the west side. The Wheeler Road extension from 181st Street north of 186th Street. That

is all scheduled to begin in approximately July or August 2012. • 2013: Primarily construction of the exit and entrance ramps to the interchanges. • 2014: All of the mainline construction. Cook added the schedule may move quicker than expected. “This project will be a huge asset to Westfield and benefit our city greatly in terms of economic development, but it will be painful during construction. With the updated construction time, it will be over about three years quicker than we all anticipated,” Cook said.

According to Jennifer Miller, assistant director fro Westfield Economic and Comunity Development Dept., the land owner would like to change the zoning from enclosed industrial to general business as contemplated in the Grand Park plan. If the rezone is passed, the rezoned property would be used for restaurants, convenient stores and other retailers that may be attracted to the area due to the Grand Park development.

City service City proposes utility rate increase COMMUNITY

editorial@youarecurrent.com

The City of Westfield proposed rate adjustments at last week’s city council meeting. The proposed ordinance was presented by Public Works Director Kurt Wanninger and Consultant Jim Treat from O.W. Krohn & Associates. The rate increases are due to $30 million worth of infrastructure improvements needed for the water system and the existing debt on the wastewater. The ordinance proposes an increase in the water and wastewater rates, and a new rate structure designed to provide a green conservation approach relating to usage. A council subcommittee consisting of councilors Jim Ake, John Dippel and Bob Horkay, were tasked to evaluate needs, rates, proposed rates and to create an ordinance with adjustments for the entire council to evaluate. “While we realized a rate increase is not favorable for our constituents, we were able to modify the original numbers so the increase is less of an initial spike on the ratepayer” said Bob Horkay, council president and subcommit-

tee member. “We are also exploring additional ways to help alleviate the burden of additional rate adjustments to ratepayers and future capital costs. Additionally, we made conservation a priority in the new rate structure while adding a summer savings plan for residents on the wastewater rates and charges. I believe it’s a good compromise,” said Horkay. The proposed ordinance calls for a less than $10 dollar per month increase in utility bills with smaller increases each year until 2016. According to Wanninger, the increases are necessary now due to the water capital needs, and to stay in step with consumer demands and wastewater debt service. “We have plenty of water supply, however, we need water distribution pipes, transmission mains and ultimately a new water tower to ensure adequate water supply for customer demands and fire protection to residents,” says Wanninger. The public hearing for this proposed ordinance will be held at Westfield City Hall Monday at 7 p.m. The council could vote on the ordinance as early as March 12.

WMS students give glimpse into future

Embarrassed By Your Fungal Toenails?

By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com

A group of Westfield Middle School seventhand eighth-grade students are taking a step into the future, and according to the judge’s panel at Future City, the students are walking in the right direction. Andrew Keffaber, WMS science teacher and academic team coach, said the academic team began with 20 students and was narrowed down to a final team of eight, named the Greenway Team. They worked on the project presented at the event, hosted in Fort Wayne, as part of National Engineers Week Foundation. Participating teams displayed designs for fully-functional sim cities, and presented materials, such as narratives describing their cities, a research essay on a sustainable energy source and a small-scale model of their cities. Keffaber said the student-organized academic team completed a competition of its own before even reaching the competition in Fort Wayne. According to Keffaber, the 20 student members were separated into three student-organized academic teams. The teams competed against each other; the Greenway Team was the only team to meet deadlines. WMS’s Greenway Team presented its final project to judges in engineering-related fields, including the head engineering professor for Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, executive at Indiana Michigan Power, the city planner for Fort Wayne and the civil engineer for IPFW.

Keffaber said finalists who entered the final judging round were in a unique environment. “The final presentation was in an auditorium with the judges on stage, and more than 500 people in the audience,” Keffaber said. According to Keffaber, developing and presenting the project was just one of the components to the whole experience. “It challenges students and it allows them to be creative,” Keffaber said “The competition is great, and there is no other opportunity where students can be evaluated and work with highlevel expertise.” Keffaber said the WMS students’ thorough understanding and out-of-the-box thinking caught the eyes of the judges. “Our sim city was above and beyond the rest of the competition. The judges specifically wanted to talk with our students about how they created their virtual model,” Keffaber said. “Their dedication to research and the ability

Modifiers everywhere Grammar Lesson by Brandie Bohney

I’ve had a few experiences recently with misplaced or dangling modifiers. I’ve covered modifier placement before, but misplaced and dangling modifiers never cease to provide hilarious fodder for columns. Recently I heard a woman on TV say, “I remember my mom making pancakes as a kid.” The first thing I wanted to ask was how she remembers her mother’s childhood. I’m guessing very few people were present during their own parents’ childhoods. None, as a matter of fact. But the way the sentence is organized, with the modifier (as a kid) directly after the phrase my mom making pancakes, the meaning becomes she remembers her mother making pancakes during her mother’s childhood. That just doesn’t make sense. Modifiers need to be placed directly next to – either before or after – the word, phrase or clause they are modifying. And when there is another word, phrase or clause the modifier could modify (logically or not), the two should be placed as far apart as possible. And remember modifiers themselves can be phrases, clauses or individual words. Individual word examples: • Rufus only ate his breakfast. • Rufus ate only his breakfast. • Rufus ate his only breakfast. Moving the word only changes the meaning

of the sentence. In the first sentence, only modifies ate, meaning Rufus ate no other meals. In the second sentence, only modifies his, meaning Rufus didn’t eat anyone else’s breakfast (just his own). In the third sentence, only modifies breakfast, meaning Rufus ate his breakfast and was not given the opportunity to eat more than one breakfast. Phrase examples: Without a hitch, Barry started eating the pie after finishing the turkey. Barry started eating the pie after finishing the turkey without a hitch. In the first sentence, Without a hitch modifies Barry started eating the pie, meaning Barry’s start of eating the pie went well. On the flip side, ending the sentence with without a hitch forces the phrase to modify after finishing the turkey, which means Barry finished the turkey with no problems. Clause examples: • Wanda wondered what happened to the leftovers after the meal she ate. • Wanda wondered what happened to the leftovers she ate after the meal. In the first sentence, Wanda ate the meal, and Brandie Bohney is a grammar enthusiast and former English teacher.

Cover Story

The Hamilton County Alliance will run out of money this year, unless the county steps in to help By Jordan Fischer, Robert Herrington and Kevin Kane editorial@youarecurrent.com

Since the housing market crash of 2008, an annual $120,000 deficit in the Hamilton County Alliance’s budget has been supported by a “rainy day” fund. By the end of the year those funds are projected to run out – potentially meaning insolvency for the countywide economic development organization. HCA President Jeff Burt and Chairman Ron Brumbarger are asking the county, and the cities and towns therein, to prevent that. Formed in 1992 as a public-private partnership, the HCA is the “only body in Hamilton County tasked by charter to promote economic vitality,” according to Brumbarger. The public portion of the organization’s $550,000 annual budget comes from a $50 Economic Development Support Fee (EDSF) dedicated to the HCA for every plat approved in the county, and from additional grants to the HCA from each of the eight county communities. Although the HCA’s Web site bills itself as funded by 39 percent public, 61 percent private dollars, Burt said that private dollars now make up only 25 percent of the annual budget. Between 1994 and 2008, the EDSF averaged $150,000 in revenue for the HCA. Since 2008, Burt said that number has dropped to $38,000 to $40,000 annually in response to the housing market slump. The HCA is asking for an additional $105,000 this year – half from the county and half from the founding communities of Fishers, Carmel, Sheridan, Noblesville and Westfield – to make up the deficit. “We’ve pared back the budget as hard as possible,” Brumbarger said. “We’ve done all the things you’d expect a good steward of public money to do. We’ve really cut back as much as we legally and professionally and ethically can.”

Changes coming

Brumarger laid out a three-pronged plan to steady the Alliance’s financial footing: the creation of industry associations which would bring in membership fees, increased private-sector participation and a re-evaluation of municipal funding. “The most critical piece is that we don’t have significant engagement from the private sector,” said Brumbarger. “We need more of them to realize that to market our community and make it a better place to live is an all-hands-on-deck proposition.” Burt pointed out that since 2003, the organization has helped local businesses receive 305 grants worth a total of $9.2 million. Much of that money was dedicated to help existing businesses expand or train employees. In its 20 years of existence, HCA has assisted 292 businesses, had 12,546 job commitments, awarded 385 grants for $15,862,755, generated $10,158,719 in estimated property tax support, and provided Hamilton County with $996,968,196 in total capital investment.

Varying opinions

Officials in Fishers, however, have expressed doubts about the actual benefits the town receives from the Alliance. 10 | February 21, 2012

“To me, the numbers they were giving us were skewed,” said Town Council President Scott Faultless. “In terms of return on investment, I think ours is substantially lower than even the numbers they’re giving us.” Other concerns included the organization’s lack of a significant Web and social media presence (a newly updated Web site was launched within the last month), and what Fishers officials perceived as a failure to keep up with the times. Council Vice President Mike Colby was perhaps the bluntest, saying, “My impression of this group is that they’re always getting started.” However, town officials ultimately seemed to decide they weren’t quite ready to let the organization fall by the wayside, especially amidst fears that the Indy Partnership, the organization tasked with economic development for the nine “donut counties” around Indianapolis, may cease to exist or see a reduced role as part of a merger with another development organization. “The Indy Partnership and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) have been the biggest source of (business) leads over the past few years,” Faultless said. “If the Indy Partnership is going away, that’s the biggest threat to me. And that’s your biggest selling point. We need someone who is selling the region – specifically Hamilton County.” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and Economic Development Director Judi Johnson also are concerned about the future of the

Indy Partnership – saying that counties will need to step up their own attraction marketing. “If we don’t have the Alliance, who do we have that recommends the out-of-state and global inquiries?” Johnson said. “We come together and work together on a regional basis. The Alliance is a conduit for each community to reach the state level.” Carmel, like Noblesville, sees great value in the services provided by the HCA, but the Alliance has perhaps done more for the city than is has for any other Hamilton County municipality. According to the numbers provided by the HCA, the organization has given Carmel a greater than six-to-one return on its investment. The Alliance takes some credit for helping to bring more than 5,000 job commitments and more than $420 million in capital investments to the city by assisting in bringing companies like Midwest ISO and ADESA to Carmel. Mayor Jim Brainard added that the existence of the Alliance allows the city to continue operating without a department dedicated to economic development, and he said Carmel likely would be in favor of increasing its contributions to the Alliance, if necessary. "The Hamilton County Alliance provides a valuable service to Carmel and Hamilton County, and we save money by having one office serve the entire county,” he said. “I have reviewed the Alliance's financial position with Jeff Burt and will be recommending that we carefully monitor it as we prepare the city’s budget for 2013.” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said his staff has yet to form a solid opinion on the HCA’s impact on his city. That’s because Westfield, he said, has very rarely been in a position to benefit from the efforts of the Alliance. While neighboring municipalities have shovel-ready sites primed for economic development, Westfield is playing catch-up and trying to get to that point with new developments such as Grand Park, currently under construction. Cook said the city also has been hurt by 20 years of uncertainty that surrounded the state’s planned overhaul of U.S. 31. With Grand Park under way and plans for U.S. 31 now finalized, however, Westfield will be in a position to make a strong push for economic development opportunities in the near future. What the Alliance’s role will be in these efforts, though, is still to be determined, Cook said. “We’re really looking at what needs to be done … Obviously, the Alliance needs funding,” he said. “Our whole concentration over here politically is economic development, so whatever assistance we can have in bringing An extended version of this commercial tax base to the story can be found online city, that’s what we need at currentinwestfield.com to have happen.”

Editorial Here and there, it’s about accountability

Creationism It is our position Senate Bill 89, allowing creationism to be taught alongside evolution in public schools, is a waste of taxpayer money. In the past, several states have attempted to pass legislation requiring the teaching of religious creationism in science classes. The Supreme Court already ruled on this very issue in 1987. The bill’s sponsor, Dennis Kruse, has acknowledged the bill may be problematic, but in his arrogance, he is confident the Supreme Court will reverse itself. If Indiana is forced to challenge this backward-thinking legislation through various appeals and federal courts, it could cost the taxpayers millions of dollars. What is the real purpose of this bill? Perhaps it is a sincere – if misguided – effort to treat Biblical religion as if it were science. Perhaps it is a smoke screen for Mr. Kruse’s next reelection campaign, so he can say to the voters, “Well, I tried!” Whatever his motives, we urge the House to reject this bill, and if they do not, then we strongly recommend Gov. Mitch Daniels veto it. If Indiana parents want their children to be taught creationism, we suggest they take advantage of the taxpayer-funded voucher system and send them to parochial school.

Network solutions Commentary by Terry Anker

Sometimes it seems like Greta Garbo may have had it right when she said, “I want to be alone.” But that feeling seldom lasts long, and we miss the company of friends and family. Even Garbo adjusted her most famous utterance to, “I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be left alone.’ There is all the difference.” She had a point. As much as we need each other, don’t we also crave a little space? If the paradox of social interaction is the ultimate fixture of the human condition, then networking is its calling card. Encarta defines it in two ways: 1. the act of linking computers so that they can share info or access a central hub; and 2. the process or practice of building up or maintaining informal relationships that can lead to job or business advantage. Somehow, the first definition makes more sense to me than the later. When we interconnect to build our communities, our

knowledge or our interconnectedness, how can it be a bad thing? Yet, when we use the network for only our own advantage, doesn’t the network ultimately only become folks looking for a hand and no one offering to give one? If we constantly harvest and never plant, how long will we eat? Why don’t we say good things about good people, whether it’s a direct benefit to us or not? Folks should know if Mike is a solid dude (or not). Recently, I told Frank that Mike was top shelf. Frank left the room only to return moments later. He said, “Actually, I know Mike – we had lunch last week and he said good things about you, too.” Now there is a network that exchanges even as it harvests. It was so easy, and it meant so much.

(Steve has given Brian the day off this week. It’s a reward for his covering for Steve, who was out of the office last week … with good reason.) We have talked in this space about accountability being our watchword for 2012. I’ve been living it these last 25 years, and I certainly saw examples last week that mirror what we encounter in our community. Let me explain: First, my bride and I spent seven days in Key West celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Yes, a good time was had by all and refreshments were served. For those who know me by my rapier-like wit, I’m not always that way. Sometimes I reflect, and those reflections give rise to the aforementioned parallels. And so, what Sally and I have experienced in a quarter century actually, in part, is about accountability. That through-thick-and-thin stuff is real, folks, and (wait for it … here comes the parallel) in Key West, it was evident in the civil-service sector. The southernmost city proved itself to be a model of organization and accountability. Folks descend on the city to get away from the humdrum, and some of them, shall we say, overly enjoy themselves. But, as is the case here, local government workers do their thing in Key West to keep everything sparkling. Sidewalks are power-washed each morning, trash cans – seemingly one every 3 feet – are emptied before the sun comes up, and you won’t find so much as a stray gum wrapper on the streets. Funny, isn’t it, that cleanliness in paradise reminded us of home? Hamilton County is a shining example (in most areas) of cleanliness. As other visitors to Key West marveled at “how clean this is,” we proudly told them, “That’s how it is back home.” We’re quick to rip government for inefficiency, but we have zero beefs when it comes to keeping the place we call home in good shape.

Laughs

To call or not to call

Humor by Danielle Wilson

Life’s about to get interesting when a conversation starts with, “I debated whether or not to call you, but figured if I had kids, I’d want to know.” This was how a phone call began the other night, and as soon as I heard those words, my heart sank. Ugh. What the hoo-hah did my child do now? As parents, we’ve probably all been in this situation, either as the bearer or the receiver of the bad news. I recently overheard one of my kids’ friends direct two F-bombs at my 10-yearold son while they were playing Xbox in our basement (we had not yet installed my superawesome sound barrier birthday door), and, to put it simply, Momma don’t play that. I politely sent the young man home, but wavered over whether I should call the mother. In the end, I decided it wasn’t that big of deal and gave him a reprieve. He had, after all, looked sufficiently embarrassed when he apologized. So, I recognize when a parent feels strongly enough to actually pick up the phone and rat; my child probably deserves it. But that doesn’t make the accusations any easier to hear. With this latest incident, my stomach immediately turned upside down as I prepared for the onslaught of alleged crimes, which amounted to my son being very disrespectful to the instructor of an extracurricular class.

Winter wonderland … or not

I certainly did not enjoy the phone call – no parent wants to hear their kid is behaving like an ass – but in all honesty, I did appreciate it. My husband and I cannot be, nor want to be, with our children 24/7, and like all kids, they’re going to make mistakes. But it’s far better they get caught and punished for the small stuff now while they’re still malleable, rather than have their misdeeds ignored until they’ve become adult dillholes firmly ensconced in their dillhole ways. And there is a saving grace to receiving one of these uncomfortable calls: You get to legitimately channel all of your disappointment and embarrassment into creating the perfect punishment. Because when the shameful tears fall, as they inevitably do, we know we’ve done our job as parents. In summary, if you catch a kid doing something wrong and feel the parent should (or would want to) know, go ahead and narc. They’ll thank you for it later. If you’re the one with the brat child, take consolation in the fact confiscating a cell phone can bring considerable joy. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist.

Humor by Mike Redmond

So far, I have not been too impressed by the weather this winter. Actually, it’s kind of difficult even to call it winter. Winter, to me, means subzero days, rock ice, snowdrifts, blizzards – none of which have made an appearance as of yet. At the best, we’re having either an extended late fall or an extra early spring. Or maybe it’s a new season, a combination of the two: Call it fang. Or sprall. Anyway, I don’t like it. I like my seasons seasonal. I like them clear and distinct. I want hot summers, warm springs, cool falls and cold winters. I want to see and feel the changes as they happen. Oh, we’ve had the occasional spritzes and sprinkles, a few extra cold days, but nothing people are going to remember. And what’s the fun in that? Half the point of having winter storms is so you can talk about them at family reunions 20 years down the road. Winter is supposed to supply us with great material with which to lie to our children. But this is not to be this year. At least, not yet. The reason, I have learned, is something called arctic oscillation, which affects the pattern of the jet stream. In essence, it has been all whopper-jawed this year, zooming around the earth in a weird pattern that keeps us

warm while throwing the other side of the world in the deep freeze, which is why my daffodils are already blooming, while over in Europe, they’ve been digging out of 6-foot drifts. Now, I am sure there are lots of people who think I am crazy. In fact, I recently had a chat with such a person, a high school classmate who moved to Florida for one reason only: to get away from winter. He told me he had to look at the calendar to know what season it is. And he said this as if it were a good thing. In fact, it’s dangerous to your mental health. As proof, we need only to watch a few episodes of “The Jerry Springer Show,” with all those nutbars parading their lunacy across the stage. You know where most of them come from? Florida. No thanks. If we must have drama, I’ll take the kind that comes from a weather event, specifically a blizzard. Or I would take that kind, if this winter would produce one. Then again, it’s only February. We still have plenty of season left. In the meantime, enjoy the sprall. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline.com or P.O.

Improve despite busy schedule Wellness by Jared Anderson

It seems no matter where we look, people are sick, tired and out of shape. Our busy lifestyles keep us running at the speed of light, and taking time for ourselves just doesn’t seem possible. Constantly, we are tempted with fast-food billboards and radio ads luring us into compromising our diets. The busyness of the day seems to keep us up at night, making everything even worse due to lack of sleep. So what do we do? How do we keep ourselves in the shape of our lives and still manage the busyness? The answer lies in putting your boxing gloves on against your lifestyle. Let’s face it, we are all busy and put off things we have intentions of doing. Sometimes, we have to fight our schedules and agendas and take a step back to organize our life in a manner that can still promote a healthy lifestyle. If it was a perfect world, we would all get up and stretch, do yoga, eat breakfast then head out to work. After work, we would go to the gym, work out for an hour and drive home to have a warm, home-cooked meal full of veggies and leafy greens. Striving to live like this is definitely a great idea, however, making this Love your Heart – Throughout the month of February, Riverview will be offering a $99 Love your Heart comprehensive screening. The package includes a CT calcium heart scan, baseline electrocardiogram, vascular screening (peripheral artery disease, carotid and abdominal aortic aneurysm), consultation with a cardiac nurse and a coupon for a $15 blood chemistry profile. Those having a comprehensive screening are asked to fast 12 hours prior to your appointment. To schedule a screening, call 776-7247.

happen every week is not always feasible. When busy, I recommend clients to still take personal time. For instance, if you struggle keeping commitments to working out, hire a trainer or find a workout partner. If you’re stressed, but have no time to do yoga, listen to a meditation or nature CD on the way to or from work. Occasionally, treat yourself to a massage when feeling the stress of a deadline, or the kids are getting on your nerves. If time is an issue for eating healthy, pick a day you plan out some quick, 10-minute meals for those weeks when a sit-down meal just isn’t going to happen. Let’s face it, without our health, nothing else matters quite as much. For the next month, commit yourself to a minimum of once per week doing something healthy for yourself. After a few weeks, try stepping it up a notch or two. During the course of a year, you will find you are feeling better and able to do more for yourself than you could ever imagine.

Bring back the push-up – Guys tend to abandon the push-up for the bench press sometime at puberty. But the once-forgotten push-up has recently muscled its way back to the top of the exercise universe. Why? Because it not only builds a powerful appearance to your physique, but also develops the support system behind that musculature. “They're also a great way to judge how strong you are relative to your body weight," says Martin Rooney, author of “Ultimate Warrior Workouts.” Test yourself by doing as many push-ups as you can in three minutes. Rest whenever you want, but keep the clock running the whole time. Fifty-five is average, but if you can't reach 75 – what strength coaches consider “good” – then you need to either gain strength or lose weight. -www.menshealth.com

Keeping up with technology Business by David Cain

The whole world has changed, and now conversations and ideas from the past don’t have the same meaning as before. It’s also a perfect storm for misunderstanding how advanced technology has actually gotten. Below are three examples that reinforce everyone’s need to stay in touch, or look out of touch: Hey, I’m on long distance. I called a guy on his cell phone. He answered and quickly replied, “Can I call you back? I’m on a long-distance call.” Long distance, really? Hello 1975, I missed you. It doesn’t matter anymore if you are calling downstairs, downtown or Detroit. You’re paying for all your calls. I’ll buy both. I was in a meeting discussing a URL to buy. A URL is simply the Web address so you can find the content or files when you type the URL in your Web browser. The URL directs you to files hosted somewhere, and it shows you the Web site files, which is the Web site to you and I. During this discussion, we were deliberating on what address to buy. After deciding the address, this fellow in the meeting looked at me all serious and said, “Now, do we want to buy the address with the www in front of

it, or not?” Before I could answer, he responded quickly, “Let’s just buy them both.” Done, thank you. That’ll be $100. Sir, we have wireless. At a restaurant, I entered with my laptop under my left arm and my computer’s power cord in my right hand. I asked the server if I could sit next to a receptacle, since my computer needed to be charged. She smiled and told me, “You can sit anywhere. We have wireless.” Wireless electricity, really? I hadn’t heard of it. I still haven’t. Dial it up. I hear this all the time, someone offers a Web site address and says, “Dial it up.” Okay, let me find my rotary keyboard and get that moving. Now, where’d I leave my dial-up modem? Oh yeah, in the trash. It’s easy to fall behind. It’s easy to not know and misspeak. Here’s a great habit to pick up: start reading a technology blog. You’ll stay in better touch with changes, and you might just find out you’re the smart kid at parties. David Cain works at MediaSauce, a digital media and online marketing company in Carmel.

Vulnerable exchange-traded funds iShares Barclays 20 Year Treasury Fund (TLT) – In August and September, when interest rates plunged and traders fled to the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds, the run-up from the iShares Barclays 20 Year Treasury Bond Fund came as no surprise. TLT advanced 27 percent in a little more than two months – a huge move for a bond fund. There’s a problem with seeing that kind of move right here and now, however. Interest rates already were rock-bottom based on some serious economic and currency worries before the

rally. For traders to think things could be even more alarming come August may have been a little unrealistic in retrospect. Nevertheless, the TLT popped and is very vulnerable to a dip now. In fact, that dip might already have started now the economy – and Europe in particular – seems to be on firmer footing.

Removal of wall allows new kitchen configuration Remodeling by Larry Greene

Original kitchen: This home located in the Foster Grove subdivision on the east side of Carmel was built in the mid-1980s. The owners had been thinking about remodeling the home for approximately 10 years, trying to decide if they were going to stay in the house or move. They ultimately decided they really liked their neighborhood and the improvements they already made to the exterior, so they chose to stay. Kitchen design choices: When thinking about making changes to their kitchen, the owners were unsure if they wanted to keep the same footprint and make cosmetic upgrades, or go for a full-space remodel. The old kitchen was expanded, the old living room is the new dining room and the old dining room was used for kitchen expansion.
