Westfield family escapes house fire

By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com

Flames consumed a home at 210 Penn St. last week. Firefighters battled the blaze and brought in firefighters from Carmel and Noblesville to help fight the fire that worked its way through the two-story home’s walls.

“We were able to put the initial fire out relatively quickly. It (the house) had been renovated multiple times, and when you build onto a house, it creates empty spaces in the walls,” said John Barrett, Westfield Fire Dept. spokesperson. “We kept finding more places, and that’s what took a lot of time to put out.”

According to WFD, the fire ignited in a bedroom, where a space heater was dangerously close to flammable materials.

“The heat from the space heater melted a nearby trash can that began a trickle effect, causing the fire spread throughout the house,” Barrett said, “As the fire began to spread, smoke detectors alerted people in the home.”

Ind. 38 at U.S. 31 expected to remain closed until Sept. 1 editorial@youarecurrent.com Beginning today, INDOT was to be closed Ind. 38 at U.S. 31. The highway will be closed between Anthony Road (one mile east of Ind. 38) and Dunbar Road (half-mile west of Ind. 38).

The closure is expected to last until Sept. 1. During this time, traffic on Ind. 38 will not have access to U.S. 31, nor will traffic on U.S. 31 have access to Ind. 38. Through traffic on Ind. 38 will be rerouted on a signed detour, which consists of Ind. 32, U.S. 421 and Ind. 47.

Crews from Milestone Contractors will be rebuilding the highway during the closure, leveling the roadway, constructing approaches and connecting new ramps. The $19.6-million interchange is designed as a folded diamond to preclude impacting nearby MacGregor Park. When complete, twin two-lane bridges will overpass Ind. 38. The northbound U.S. 31 bridge opened to traffic in December; the southbound bridge is expected to be finished this year.

The Major Moves project also includes reconstruction of one mile of U.S. 31. All work is expected to be complete by November.

Southbound U.S. 31 traffic is rerouted via a median crossover to share the east side of the highway with northbound traffic. A single, narrowed lane of traffic is maintained in each direction with an auxiliary exiting and merge lane for northbound traffic.

To learn locations of highway work zones and traffic restrictions, call 800-261-7623 or view an online map at www.trafficwise.in.gov.

Wakefield nominated for HCCAOD Youth Service Award

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Andrew Wakefield was recently honored as the Westfield High School nominee for the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs Youth Service Award.

Wakefield was a foreign exchange student in Spain and a member of Spanish Club and Spanish Honor Society. He also has volunteered as a Spanish translator for parent-teacher nights.

Wakefield is a member of the National Honor Society, Amnesty International and his church’s youth group. He was the team captain and Most Valuable Player of the high school tennis team.

He was a volunteer student teacher at Carey Ridge Elementary School where he was part of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, which helps educate youth to be alcohol- and drug-free.

Wakefield says his greatest accomplishment has been his work as a student teacher, and “being able to be part of the intellectual and behavioral development of the kids and watching their focus on school work, which enabled them to remain alcohol- and drug-free,” he said.

Wakefield’s school counselor says he is com-

mitted to developing good character and values, not only at his high school, but in the community.

“He is a natural leader and mentor, and thrives when helping others,” Wakefield’s counselor wrote in his nomination. “Andrew is also an excellent student and accomplished athlete.”

Philanthropy YAR awards more than $8k in grants COMMUNITY

By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County children and teens have earned a way to contribute more than time. Twelve youth-led projects have received grant money from the Hamilton County Youth as Resources.

The fund of $8,700 was shared by projects and/or organizations such as YAR, a program of United Way of Central Indiana, which has awarded more than $8,700 to fund community service projects designed and implemented by Hamilton County youth.

Joan Isaac, United Way of Central Indiana’s area director for Hamilton County, said, “United Way of Central Indiana is proud to support YAR grants because they have such a positive impact on youth and our community.”

Some of the 2012 grant recipients include: • Community Micro-Library for the Near East Side, a project of UHS, was awarded $1,000 to build a portable micro-library for use in areas of need around the city.

Youth will be working on construction of the library structure, as well as asking for book donations for the lending library.

• Information Kiosks at Bray Family Homestead Park, a project of Boy Scout Troop No. 180, was awarded $823.62 to construct cedar kiosks at a new Hamilton County park. The youth will construct two information centers complete with cork boards for flyers and boxes for trail maps

and brochures.

• Table for Tots, a project of Boy Scout Troop No. 205, was awarded $1,000 for supplies to construct picnic tables to be placed at Habitat for Humanity homes in Hamilton County. The youth will construct seven picnic tables and provide snacks, pizza and drinks for all volunteers assisting with the project.

• Weather Station, a project of Boy Scout Troop No. 152, was awarded $295 to purchase interface software to update a weather station that will be moved to work more effectively. The youth will be relocating the weather station and enhancing all components of the unit so it can be used for accurate, effective information in the community.

• Wellness Path to Learning, a project of the Hamilton Heights K-Kids Club, was awarded $975.68 to purchase materials to improve and enhance the outdoor learning center at its school. The youth will be clearing fallen trees, limbs and trash, adding wood chips to the trails and creating a trail map for visitors to use.

Since its inception in 1996, YAR has awarded 241 projects, engaged 6,724 youth volunteers and awarded more than $206,901.72 in Hamilton County. The next grant cycle will occur in January. For more information on YAR, please contact Jill Troha at jill.troha@uwci.org or call 366-5413.

Education Meet Your Teacher – Sheryl Culley COMMUNITY

Name: Sheryl Culley Grade/subject at what school: First grade, Oak Trace Elementary Number of years teaching: 21 Background/schooling (college and high school): Rossville High School, Rossville, Ind. Bachelor’s degree in elementary education, Purdue University. Master’s degree in education, Indiana Wesleyan.

Why did you become a teacher?

I have vivid memories of every one of my teachers from grade school. They made an impact on my life in their special way.

They also had one thing in common: They read wonderful books out loud to my class. I visualized those stories in my mind with great detail.

When it came time to choose a path for my life, I knew I wanted to share with young children the same love of books and reading my teachers had given me.

What goals do you have for your students?

At the end of first grade, I want my students to have a solid foundation of skills to allow them to continue with their education successfully.

Ultimately, I want them to love learning and realize how real life does require continual learning and challenges. I also want my students to know I believe in them and can see each one of them has a special gift to give.

What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? First, I encourage parents to play an active role in their child’s learning. A child needs to know someone at home cares about him/her and has learning expectations that must be met – before playtime. Then, I will provide as many instructions and resources as possible to allow those parents to be active participants in their child’s learning.

Name your favorite movie.

Culley “Out of Africa,” with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford.

Name your favorite musician or band. I am fascinated with Adele’s voice. However, being an 1980s teenager, REO Speedwagon, Journey, John “Cougar” Mellencamp and (at the time) an up-and-coming local guy named Jimmy Ryser were just a few of my favorites.

What’s something your students might not know about you? I was a 10-year 4-H member.

I took sewing all 10 years. Every year, I modeled my sewing projects in the 4-H Fashion Revue. I received Grand Champion in the fashion revue my last three years and got to go to the State Fair. There was nothing like modeling a lined, wool suit on a hot day. And now, I won’t touch a sewing machine!

Cover story

Westfield High School junior Katia Hamamouche is bringing smiles to the young faces of Haitian orphans

By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com The threads of life are being woven by a 17-year-old with a judgeless love for younger generations thousands of miles away.

She has never heard their voices, known their names or felt the hugs of gratitude from the little girls of Haiti. Although Hamamouche hasn’t stepped on Haitian soil, she can feel all the love she needs to inspire dress after dress she sews for orphans.

Hamamouche’s mother, Michelle Hama-

Katia’s story of survival: In 2009, Katia was relaxing on her couch in her family’s living room. Moments later, a car came striking through the living room, throwing Katia off the couch and into the stairway. Miraculously, Katia walked away from the shocking experience with only a few bruises. However, a year later, Katia developed Ciliax disease. Doctors said the disease is triggered by a traumatic experience and can develop years after the event, or only a few months.

The dreams of dancing: Katia is part of the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, where she spends 35 hours a week training and dancing. Both her mother and 21-year-old sister are ballet dancers. Katia said she wants to study special education and dance at Butler University.

10 | May 1, 2012

mouche, said the Westfield High School junior started sewing with her grandmother when she was about the same age as the orphans that now wear her hand-sewn dresses.

“She sold scarves for dogs, and (sold) scrunchies and headbands at Buy and Sell Day in fourth grade. She was very proud because she sold out that day,” said Michelle. “One of her teachers didn’t get a chance to buy her dog a scarf, so she was still sewing requests.”

As Hamamouche started her career in ballet, just like her sister and mother once did, her time for sewing was nearly nonexistent as she balanced dancing and school.

But last summer, Hamamouche revisited the sewing seat that remained empty for nearly eight years. She said summers allowed her to spend more time with her grandmother and reignited the love for sewing she had as an elementary student.

“My grandma bought me a sewing machine in fourth grade because I was the only grandchild who showed an interest in it, and that never really went away,” Hamamouche said.

When she began sewing again, she found out a family friend who adopted two children from a Haitian orphanage was taking her children to visit the nation; that started the thread that would connect Hamamouche with children on the other side of the world.

“I started sewing the dresses with my grandma to help her out and have some granddaughter and grandma time, but then we just kept doing it,” Hamamouche said. “I just keep sewing dresses until I find someone to send them to Haiti with.”

Hamamouche said sewing is more than a hobby; it’s the thread that connects her with people in a world nothing like her own, and opened her eyes to a different way of life.

“I keep thinking a child is actually wearing this – a child is actually getting this when she doesn’t have other things,” Hamamouche said.

“That makes me want to make every dress the best I can with special things like ruffles and fun colors. It may just be one dress, but I want it to be something they (the girls) love.”

Current in Westfield

The first time Hamamouche saw her sewing out of her home was on petite girls living in an orphanage. Their dresses, colored in teal, pink and other hues, once unknown to their eyes, stood out in the dark circumstances and brought out the light-hearted smile of a carefree child.

“When someone brought back that picture of those little girls wearing the dresses I made, it was so nice. It was so nice to see their smiling faces,” Hamamouche said. www.currentinwestfield.com

Editorial U.S. 31 work requires everyone’s patience

Truth from government

It is our position the bedrock of democracy – trust in government – cannot be permitted to erode through inattentiveness or obfuscation by our elected officials.

A recent Current article pointed out Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard twice circulated inaccurate information regarding the existence and content of an environmental study involving the old grain elevator along the Monon Trail. Afterward, his explanation was he simply passed along the facts he was provided by his staff. We don’t doubt his account, but we question whether he would have dug deeper into the facts had the study’s purported conclusions not supported his position.

This example is trivial when compared to the omissions, half-truths and outright deceptions regularly disseminated by politicians of all persuasion and position.

Unfortunately, we as citizens of a representative democracy have come to assume our government is less than truthful, and the news outlets further spin the story to suit a particular position.

Again, not to pick on Brainard for his error, but the situation highlights the need for a vigilant press corps who will not accept all statements without investigation and a citizenry that holds its elected officials accountable for the information they disseminate.

Let's get physical

Commentary by Terry Anker

In a world controlled by the boundaries of physics, why do we still push the axiom dictating we cannot be in two places at once? We book and stretch to make the commute from one city to another, optimistically clinging to the belief we can shuttle amongst the final meeting of the day, attending an away track meet for kid No. 1 and still patiently reviewing homework with the second offspring.

While we humans are blessed with a depth of ability, capacity and fortitude seldom fullytaxed, can we manage to attend to our obligations when they are simultaneously dislocated?

All too often, I find myself unable to meet those commitments that arise countervailing one to the other. In fact, it seems many of my own good intentions fall victim of too much, too far apart. We end up creating (and most sincerely regretting) the inconvenience caused to those others, as any thoughtful person might be, who manage to be on time and prepared for discussion. Do they simply

under-schedule knowing traffic snarls and meetings go long? Do these to-be-admired folks have some pass to an elaborate system that transports them from one side of town to the other without the pesky twin distractions of time and space?

Cellphones and all manner of tools now make our time more efficient. We can do more in a more compact space. And boy, do we do more! Yet, have we simply pushed ourselves to the inevitable result of failure? Are we better served to do less better? In a world of more communication, more productivity and more encounters, should we hoard our time, guarding it jealously against our tendency to squeeze in one further thing? I’d like to consider the question, but it looks like I’m late for my next meeting …

As we warned would be the case, the INDOT was to have closed Ind. 38 at U.S. 31 by this morning’s rush hour. The highway will be closed between Anthony Road and Dunbar Road.

That’s the bad news. The good news is by Sept.

1, there should be in place much of the coming $19.6-million interchange, part of the conversion of U.S. 31 to freeway. Actually, the design calls for two twin-lane bridges overpassing U.S. 31, and all work, including resurfacing part of U.S. 31, is expected to be complete at the junction by early November. We’re asking you to be patient through the construction period – for your safety and that of construction crews. Show more smarts than has been exhibited by some of your neighbors to the south in Carmel; some have treated the temporarily relocated lanes of U.S. 31 as a racecourse. It can be frightening … if you’re one among the law-abiding. Current will keep you apprised of changes and updates on the project by the day at www.currentinwestfield.com, on Facebook and Twitter (@CI_Westfield). INDOT also has info at 800-261-7623 or at www.trafficwise.in.gov.

Til dentures do us part Laughs by Danielle Wilson

I hate the dentist. Not personally, of course.

I actually like mine very much. But I hate the whole dental experience, especially if it’s for a potentially-painful procedure. Take fillings, for example.

A few weeks back, once I’d survived the torturous cleaning process, I received bad news – double cavities. Dun, dun, dunnn. In shock, I made an appointment for the following Monday, already knowing I would find some way to postpone it. Luckily, the day arrived with a forecast of “partly cloudy,” the perfect reason to reschedule. I left a voice message with reception saying “Don’t call me, I’ll call you!” and promised to not call for several weeks. I was stalling big time, but I didn’t care. The idea of someone, anyone, even a charming licensed professional drilling into the depths of my highly-sensitive nerve-filled teeth scares the bejesus out of me. (I was traumatized as a child when dentists used only diluted “laughing gas” and stickers to numb the pain.)

As stupid fate would have it, the following day, my 10-year-old began complaining of a toothache and asked to go see the dentist. Fine.

May as well get my appointment over with, too.

So I made another appointment and desperately tried to ignore my impending doom.

The heart palpitations picked up significantly

during the next couple of days, just as the hours of sleep and my appetite dropped off.

When the appointed hour came, I somehow coerced my body into the office (I had seriously considered bribing my son with McDonald’s and making a break for it), and then managed to distract myself for a few minutes with Architectural Digest. Naturally, I let my kid go first (it’s the right thing to do), but then cursed myself for being so stupid. Prolonging the agony only made it worse!

Finally, I was up. I begged my doctor for some Valium on the way back, and when he professed not to have any, I demanded, “Then numb me all to hell!” By the grace of God and the Lamaze techniques I learned in birthing class, I survived seven or eight Novocain injections, and then held on for dear life as the dentist chiseled and scraped and jack-hammered my molars. I stumbled out less than an hour later, overwrought and unable to speak coherently. I made a vow, then and there, to love and protect my teeth, till death or dentures do us part. Because I really hate the dentist. Peace out.

Laughs by Dick Wolfsie

My story begins with an actual letter I received recently from my supplemental Medicare provider.

Our records show the gender we have for you doesn’t match the information received from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services. To have your gender corrected, please contact your local Social Security Office.”

I dialed immediately, hoping to reach a real person who could look into everything without having to actually look at anything, if you know what I mean. After I answered a few automated questions, a man who identified himself as Art came on the phone and offered to assist me.

“Yes, we have you on file. What can I do for you, ma’am?”

I could see this wasn’t starting out very well. I explained to Art the confusion that had arisen, but I tried talking with a deeper voice, hoping that might move the conversation along in the right direction.

“This is a new one for me, Wolfsie. By the way, mind if I just call you Wolfsie? At least until we satisfactorily address this problem? Not sure I can fix this with a simple keystroke. This may require a face-to-face meeting.”

I’m not a rugged-looking guy. I even have some soft features.

“Are you on Medicare?” Art asked.

carmel.stvincent.org

“Yes, for the past several months.”

“Which parts?”

“Gee whiz, you don’t have a record of those parts, either? There must be some explanation for all this.”

“Wolfsie, maybe the computer read your first name as being either a man’s or a woman’s, thus the confusion.”

“You must be right, Art. Who doesn’t have a niece or a grandmother named Richard?”

“I need to put you on hold again, Wolfsie.

Sorry to make you wait.”

“No problem. I’ll pass the time flipping through Brides Magazine.”

Moments later …

“It looks to me, Wolfsie, we have you officially listed as a man all your life, but for some reason you became a woman in our system when you signed up for Medicare. That was effective March 2.”

We had been on the phone almost an hour when Art said he needed to check one more thing.

I held for another five minutes, but he never came back on the line. He just kept me hanging.

Isn’t that just like a man?

Liposuction and treatment for aged eyes Commentary by Barry Epply Q: Will I go back to the smallest size I was right after liposuction? It’s been four weeks now since I had liposuction of the bra line, abdomen, flanks and inner thighs. Right after I got out of my surgery and for a week or so after that, my stomach was flat. But then I ballooned up and, while I’m not big or anything, I am bigger than I’d like to be. So do patients tend to go back to the size they were right after surgery before all the swelling took place?

A: What you are experiencing is known as lymphedema due to partial obstruction of lymphatic outflow in the treated areas. This is a temporary phenomenon that occurs in all liposuction patients for the first few months after surgery. It is a self-solving problem as the lymphatic channels heal and reopen. This will restore the shape back to what you saw right after surgery.

Q: My eyes used to be one of my best features, but now they are just getting oldlooking. I am 47 years old and have wrinkles around my eyes and some extra skin on the eyelids. My brows now seem a little low, too.

I don’t want to go through surgery such as an eyelid tuck or a brow lift, so what can I do?

Do I need some special cream or some type of laser treatment?

A: There is no nonsurgical equivalent to what eyelid and brow lift surgery can do, but there are some laser treatments that offer some mild to

moderate improvement – certainly far better than what any type of topical cream can do. Fractional lasers are different than traditional ones because they treat only a fraction of the skin surface, but each tiny laser point or dot penetrates deeper. Because eyelid skin is so thin (the epidermis is only .04 millimeters thick), it requires a series of light laser treatments (one to four) to prevent a burn injury and get some really visible improvement.

Studies have shown patients get a 25-percent to 50-percent improvement with half of the patients maintaining a 1- to 2-millimeter eyebrow lift one year later. Recovery is usually about three to four days after each treatment.

RealAmerica launches new venture with StorAmerica Storage & Wine Cellar

By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com Carmel-based RealAmerica Development, LLC is making its first foray into the storage business – and it’s doing it right here at home.

Founded in 1995, the company, located at 111 N. Range Line Rd. in the heart of the Arts & Design District, focuses primarily on apartments and single-family dwellings. It sees the expansion into personal and commercial storage centers as a natural expansion, according to President Ronda Shrewsbury.

“From our standpoint, we already build multifamily homes and apartments,” Shrewsbury said. “If you manage apartments, managing a storage facility is very complementary. It’s not reinventing the wheel for us.”

The new location, called StorAmerica Storage & Wine Cellar, is located at 4420 E. 146th St., Carmel. As its name suggests, it features not only traditional storage spaces, but also climate-controlled units and a separate climate-and-humidity-controlled space that Shrewsbury hopes will appeal to wine collectors and restaurants looking to store their higher-end bottles off-site. That area will consist of individually-sealed units linked to security cameras and a backup generator.

StorAmerica Phase I is now online, offering 344 units, 144 of them temperature-controlled, in sizes ranging from small personal storage to boat- or RV-sized units. A second phase of construction is planned for the future to construct an additional 356 units, for a final total storage space of 100,000 square feet.

CALL 317-DIVORCE Shrewsbury StorAmerica will also include a business center with free Wi-Fi and conference room available to all customers free of charge.

“The business center came about because there’s just a need for meeting space,” Shrewsbury said. “If people are out selling medical equipment, they’re storing in the climate storage; they need a space to stop and have meetings.”

Located within a short drive of Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville and Fishers, Shrewsbury said the area demographic was a perfect fit for the company’s first foray into storage.

“We were looking for a high-development area with a variety of housing options, businesses and medical offices that need storage for their records,” Shrewsbury said. “Hamilton County is a nice, broad-based growth market.”

StorAmerica Storage & Wine Cellar is now open at 4420 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit the Web site at www.storamerica146th.com or call 733-8655.

Business

Move the needle: Time Commentary by CJ McClanahan

Successful executives (and people for that matter) understand the difference between an interest and a commitment. An interest is something they’d like to do if time permits. A commitment is an item that absolutely must be done regardless of the circumstances. For those executives who struggled to find the time to develop their businesses, every single interruption that popped into their day instantly became a commitment and their single focus shifted from running the business toward handling interruptions.

The successful leader understands it is absolutely impossible to get everything done and every day ends with incomplete items on the “to-do” list. What’s critical is that the most important commitments are complete when you leave the office at the day’s end. It doesn’t matter who puts in the most hours; what matters is if the essential tasks were completed.

As Dr. Stephen Covey pointed out in “First Things First,” you need to develop the habit of spending your time on the important, and not just the urgent. Here are a few fundamentals to help you begin the process. First, plan the week in advance. And, yes, it is as easy as it sounds.

Take 10 minutes on Monday morning and put together a list of the commitments that must get completed by Friday at 5 p.m. These are the

items you’ll finish regardless of unpredictable fires that pop up throughout the week.

Next, consider setting aside time during your day to work on specific items. Blocking your schedule helps you stay focused on what’s really important. The best place to practice this exercise is with your e-mail. Despite what you may have heard, having two monitors sitting on your desk with e-mail open at all times is killing, not helping, your productivity. When you are working on a task that requires your concentration, you should turn your e-mail off.

Even the most successful time-management experts struggle to keep the “main thing the main thing.” As a result, my final piece of advice in this area is to take time at the end of each day and reflect. Look back at your activity and ask what you’d do differently if you could go back to 8 a.m. and start over. These reflections will help you make better decisions in the future.

As with everything, you goal should be to make improvements each day.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Child Custody and Summer Visitation

As the school year comes to an end, parents are scheduling camps, vacations and other activities for their children. Of course, this also means that the summer visitation requirements must be addressed for divorced families. Family law attorney, Lanae Harden, gives tips on how to ensure a smooth summer for both the parents and children involved.

1. If you don’t have a detailed parenting visitation schedule, create one. This may be difficult for former spouses to come to an agreement. If you are unable to come up with a mutually agreeable schedule, consult a professional to aid with this. The more detailed your agreement is, the less room for interpretation, therefore less conflict.

2. Recognize the emotional impact this may have on the children. A significant change in schedule can bring up emotions for the children. This could be positive or negative emotions, but usually a mixture of both.

Children thrive on routine, and summer visitation schedules usually vary significantly from the routines that the children became accustomed to during the school year. Depending on the ages of the children, explain to them the exact schedule and where they will be at any given time. Create a calendar with color coded days signifying when they will be at mom’s house and when they will be at dad’s house.

3. Plan accordingly. This may include scheduling time off work or altering your work schedule when the children are visiting. Plan appropriate summer-time activities. If you are the non-custodial parent, this may also include arranging for care (nanny, babysitter etc.). If possible, utilize their same care provider at both homes for consistency.

4. Be supportive if your child misses the other parent. Don’t take this personally or assume this means the child loves the other parent more than you. Look for ways to calm your child and allow them to speak frequently with their other parent. This will only help build your bond with your child.

The best interest of the child is always the most important thing to keep in mind. Both parents should communicate and cooperate to make sure that reasonable visitation time is met and the child feels safe and secure.

If you need assistance with determining child visitation or custody, contact HARDEN JACKSON at 317-569-0770 or www.hardenjacksonlaw.com.

Remember, these suggestions are not meant to be legal advice. You should consult an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation.

Relationships

The blame game

Commentary by Kristen Boice Do you blame someone else for your feelings, issues or how your life has turned out? How does it play out in your relationships, marriage or in the work environment? The blame game can have a powerful impact in your life. It can keep you stuck.

Blame keeps us focused on the other person so we don’t have to work on ourselves. It’s really a deflection to dealing with our own issues.

When we blame, we place responsibility for our negative feelings and upsets onto another person or situation. Focusing on blame misses the opportunity to resolve the conflict.

How can we work on ourselves when we are focused on what someone else is doing, saying and what he or she has done to us? This can lead us to feeling like a victim, as opposed to feeling empowered.

Once we make a decision to stop the blame game and to take ownership for our own feelings and actions, then we can focus on living out the life we want. By focusing on ourselves, we begin to feel stronger and have the courage to face our feelings and pain. There are some initial steps to begin the process of shifting from

When

blame to taking responsibility for our emotions.

1. Explore your blaming patterns. Who do you blame? Why do you blame them?

How often are you blaming others like your spouse, friend, co-worker, neighbor, parent, boss, etc.? Do you notice a pattern? Do you have a pattern of wanting to be right?

2. Learn to recognize your own feelings.

Do you know what you are feeling? Do you take time to dig deep and really figure out what is bothering you and why? Begin to pay attention and notice what you are feeling.

3. Focus on solutions. Look at how you can resolve the conflict or work through it in order to begin the forgiveness process.

Ultimately, blame and not forgiving doesn’t hurt the other person; it hurts you. It’s time to look within and step into an empowering state of being. It’s about becoming a better you.

Spirituality

Spring cleaning: Luke and wine Commentary by Bob Walters In the spirit of spring cleaning, let’s discuss a pair of not entirely inaccurate, but eminently debatable declarations made recently in this space.

First, in the April 3 column “Truth, Holy Week and the big picture,” I wrote Luke was “the only Gospel writer who was neither in Jerusalem for the crucifixion nor an acquaintance of Jesus.”

A small point, really, but I should remember what I write in my own column, like specifically on March 24, 2009, “Luke: Jesus came for all.”

It is true the Bible does not name or position Luke as being with Jesus as unambiguously as it describes the presence with Jesus of the other three Gospel writers: disciples Matthew and John, and Mark who ran naked from the garden of Gethsemane when Jesus was arrested.

But – and I wrote this three years ago – Christian tradition says Luke was one of “the 72” harvest workers Jesus sent out like “lambs among wolves” to spread his teaching (Luke 10:1-23). Also – and again Luke wasn’t named – it was very likely Luke, according to early scholars, was walking with Cleopas to the village of Emmaus (Luke 24:13ff) when Jesus appeared to them after the resurrection.

Even though the Bible doesn’t say either way, it stands to reason Luke met and knew Jesus, so, oops. The “big picture” is Luke knew the truth resides in Jesus.

Second, from April 10, “The Wine, the Cup and Communion” described how the four Biblical accounts of the Last Supper and Communion (Matthew, Mark, Luke and Acts) never actually mention “wine.” They don’t, but the point wasn’t wine; it was that Jesus described the contents of the cup as the “blood of the new covenant.”

Alertly, my good church buddy Don and savvy Current reader Michal were among those who sent e-mails citing Matthew 26:29, where Jesus, offering the cup, refers to drinking “this fruit of the vine” again in his “Father’s kingdom.”

They wondered, “What could be in the cup except wine?” Fair question, and it stands to reason the cup contained wine. Yet there are enough biblical metaphors surrounding “fruit” (e.g. Galatians 5:22-23, Matthew 7:16), “vine” (e.g. John 15) and “kingdom” for an interesting conversation as to what Jesus meant beyond just wine.

But still, oops. More precise writing would have maintained focus on the central point, which is the “blood of the new covenant” is our shared life of faith in Christ.

I should have tinkered with those columns a little longer.

Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com) and his friend Brent Riggs have been tinkering with Bob’s site, www. commonchrisitanity.blogspot.com.

Have a look.

Tie One On Bow ties are back and better than ever! Find them in bright colors and sharp patterns.

The best way to pull this look off is by keeping it current; forget about the vintage colors and patterns.

Unlike older versions of this tie, today they also come in different textures like denim and flannel and in every color of the rainbow.

Add a new twist to your work day or date night by sporting a trendy bow tie.

A girls’ guide to Prom Dresses Strapless This is a perfect style to choose if you’re looking to show off arms and shoulders. Add a simple clutch to maintain ladylike elegance.

Short Show off some leg in a prom-perfect mini! Look for this style in a fun sequin fabric to really spice things up!

One-Shoulder The one shoulder silhouette is a great alternative to strapless and it looks great with hair up or down. Pair it with a skinny belt and a simple bag

and pumps.

Open Back Choose an open back style for an unexpected dose of glamour. Pair this style with a simple up-do.

Long Sleeves Long sleeves are a great way to balance out a short dress. This style looks great in a bold color.

Full Skirt The classic look of a full skirt is definitely a great go-to for prom.

Keep your hair and accessories simple and let the dress speak for itself.

Enjoy!

Outdoors Interior design loves haute couture INSIDE & OUT

Commentary by Vicky Earley Interior design and haute couture dance a fiery and everlasting tango with fashion taking the lead.

The first time I noticed this was during the English chintz years of the late 1980s. A friend, Shelly, wore the crisp floral fabric to an afternoon wedding and was in awe of the elegance of her perfect choice for the time and for the occasion.

My realization fashion and décor were inextricably entwined when we all arrived at the country club reception. Shelly had arrived a few minutes prior and my girlfriends and I found her standing at the door in sheer panic.

She looked over her shoulder to reveal the drapery and the sofas were covered in the very same pink and green floral chintz of her dress. Shelly and the furnishings were forever bonded. I will confess we spent the remainder of the reception pretending like we couldn’t see her because she blended into the décor.

The relationship between fashion and décor is typically more subtle as it weaves its way quietly. There is a subtle link between the two when it is just the mirroring of the way a textile drapes or the replication of a collar on a window treatment.

Typically, the sheer organzas of fashion are loose and free-flowing. The femininity is

undeniable, especially when juxtaposed to textural, masculine fabrics.

In décor, you will find the sheer has returned to the window, but not in the form of your grandmother’s tight-pinch pleat sheer that moves on a traverse rod.

You will find sheers tonal and embellished with glitz. One of my favorites is a sheer studded with “diamonds.”

You will find the same sheers on the red carpet flowing with grace and elegance.

Some of the links between haute couture and interior design are obvious. If you book a room in Milan’s Maison Maschino, you can slumber away in a ruby-ball-gown-inspired bed.

Often, fashion designers are falling off the runway and heading toward the interior with the introduction of their own furnishing lines.

Regardless, there is a marriage of love and convenience between haute couture and interior design. They are both a reflection of our societal mood at a point in time, and that moment is shared.

Serious insect fear seriously overrated Gardening by Holly Lindzy “Arachnophobia” is more than just a creepy movie; it’s a real condition involving real fears.

And I certainly cannot fathom what it would be like to have such deep-rooted fear. It would cause hysterics upon sight of a spider. But then again, phobias are irrational fears, and that’s pretty extreme.

What makes perfect sense, of course, are those people without phobias – spider, insect or otherwise, killing critters as they go along in life for no real reason other than they like to throw shoes. And why not? I mean, they’re like onesixteenth the size of a human. We clearly need to stay on guard.

I mean you could be rolling over in bed one night and trap one, and then it could bite you.

That would be horrific. Around central Indiana, your chances of rolling onto a poisonous spider are pretty slim, but still … think of the little, round painful bump it will leave. Thank goodness you’re asleep and will never even know.

It’d be different if they had any redeeming value at all. Something like voracious preying on really icky bugs, or maybe an important part of the food chain, even, for other “more-desirable” wildlife. That would make spiders way better and we could maybe live with them after all.

Wait. You see where I’m going with this …

Being the self-proclaimed insect advocate I am, I have a mission in life to save the helpless creatures of the world. Most times, be it bug, Get the facts – Many start the season with aspirations of starting a vegetable or herb garden, but can sometimes be less than successful without the right information. The time to plant seeds varies with each plant and the seeds to start planting mid-April are mainly beans, cabbage, beets, cauliflower, lettuce and radishes. - almanac.com

www.currentinwestfield.com

bee or bigger, they don’t even “bug” us one bit and you don’t even know they’re there.

Why not, instead of sole-smacking every insect or spider you see, put a glass over it, slide a paper under the glass and transport the little guy outside … to his family and friends?

Here’s the thing, bugs are living creatures.

They can’t help they’re creepy and crawly. Imagine what they must think of you. So live and let live.

INSIDE & OUT

In the home

New shower design serves family’s needs Commentary by Larry Greene Original bathroom: This home, located in the Bayhill subdivision on the east side of Carmel, was built about 12 years ago. The homeowners have two sons, 25 and 30, and each has a disability. When they built the house, both boys were still walking, so they had their bathroom built with an Americans with Disabilities Act shower with wheelchair accessibility. As the boys became less able to maneuver on their own, the limitations of the original design became apparent.

Shower drain problems: The only drain in the bathroom was in the center of the shower. Water from the shower tended to drain all over the bathroom floor with nowhere to go.

The owners commented, “After years of dealing with soaking towels and a floor beginning to heave from the water, we decided it was time to renovate the space to better suit the present and future needs of our sons.”

Special shower details: The homeowners worked with the design team to come up with a design that suited the needs of the family.

The original shower/bath area was turned into one large, walk-in shower with a built-in bench along the entire back wall. Two shower heads

were installed in a space that can accommodate wheelchairs.

Glass blocks were installed in the window area to allow light with privacy.

In the previous design, the bench and floor were slippery when wet, making the space dangerous. The new shower floor includes flamed granite tile, which undergoes a procedure that pops the crystals off the granite, giving it texture and is, therefore, not slippery. To deal with the drainage issue, a linear drain was installed against the back wall under the bench, allowing the whole shower floor to be gently sloped back, rather than creating a bowl-like effect to a center drain.
