Around town

Comfort food from the 'home' By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com Spaghetti and meatballs and lasagna are some favorite comfort foods. But, for one local business, Italian food is just the beginning of comfort for the family and staff. A new "family member" was born November 2009, when owner Lori Solazzo opened Italia Mia Ristorante with her daughter, Mia – the restaurant’s namesake – and her culinary chef son, Michael, who she said inspired her to open a restaurant that would give him creative cooking freedom. “My kids are why I’m here, to help them and to see them become stronger people, to see them learning the lessons of hard work,” Solazzo said. “They’ve seen me go through the ups and downs with owning a business, and I’m glad they did because they saw with hard work and love for each other you always pull through.” Mia said she was barely a teen when the restaurant opened, and Lori said it was Mia’s first endeavor in elbow grease. “She has always been the little sister, she hadn’t experienced this kind of hard work of renovating a space to make our own,” Solazzo said. Mia said the process of renovating, decorating and painting the restaurant for its opening wasn’t quite what she expected. “I was excited to have a restaurant named after me and to hear

Lori, Mia and Michael Solazzo kids say, ‘Oh, is that your restaurant?’” Mia said. “Next thing I know, I’m painting, cleaning and working really hard, but it was fun. We built this as a family, we kind of built a family home.” The tight-knit family said their new family home has quickly grown as the Solazzos and staff merge memories. “We all support each other, we are in this together, creating something that’s bigger than us,” Solazzo said.

Putting a fresh face forward By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com There’s a fresh face on Union Street. Trina Byers and her fiance, Jon Kidd, are exfoliating the old and keeping the charm of the once-vacant building with a salon full of relaxation. SkinFix Spa first opened in Carmel in August 2011, but Byers said their spa, which features facial peels, cellulite reduction and lash tinting among its services, quickly outgrew that location. But they’ve found the perfect face-lift for their business, and they are now nestled in downtown Westfield. “Once we found the house, we loved its location, its charm and its quaint downtown setting,” Byers said. The business currently serves 575 regular clients and is growing. Kidd said the quick growth mirrors what’s happening in Westfield. “[Westfield] is still growing, and we saw

Trina Byers and Jon Kidd a chance to grow even more here,” Kidd said. “It’s becoming a Hamilton County Managing Editor – Lindsay Eckert lindsay@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444 Associate Editor – Terry Anker terry@currentincarmel.com Copy Editor – Kelly Patrick kelly@youarecurrent.com Art Director – Zachary Ross zach@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444 Associate Artist – Andrea Nickas andrea@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444

Mecca, but it still keeps its small-town feel.” Kidd, who formerly worked in concrete manufacturing, said taking on a completely different industry has been worthwhile. As Kidd manages the business side of SkinFix Spa, he said the value isn’t always in revenue. “I work to decrease any stress from owning a business so she [Byers] can do her job and the things she loves to do with her job,” he said. Byers said she and Kidd have struck a balance as entrepreneurs. “We have a lot of fun working together, I think we do it really well,” Byers said. “It’s a little give and a little take.” Kidd said there is a lot of passion and dedication behind their success. “She has the vision, I have the action,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s concrete blocks or skincare, as long as the focus is there, it’s the same process.” Senior Sales Executive – Dennis O’Malia dennis@youarecurrent.com / 370.0749 Sales Executive – Natalie Bruce natalie@youarecurrent.com / 765.480.0320 Office Manager – Heather Cole heather@youarecurrent.com / 489.4444 Publisher – Brian Kelly brian@youarecurrent.com / 414.7879 General Manager – Steve Greenberg steve@youarecurrent.com / 847.5022

Voter turnout up, but down By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County currently has 191,852 registered voters. Of them, only 24.63 percent (47,250 people) cast ballots during the May 8 primary election. While voter turnout was low, Hamilton County Election Administrator Kathy Richardson said it was higher than last year’s municipal primary election of 14.62 percent. “I’m disappointed in the turnout,” said Richardson. “I don’t understand.” This year’s turnout was 21 percent lower when compared to the last presidential primary election in 2008, which had 42.42 percent (66,154 of 155,944 voters). During 2008’s general election, Richardson said the turnout rose to 69.55 percent when 122,087 of the 175,538 registered voters cast ballots. She is optimistic that November’s election will see a much higher attendance at polling places. “It’ll pick up in the fall. It always picks up in the fall,” she explained. “The presidential general (election) brings out the most people.” Members of the public who did participate in the democratic system did not report many issues. Richardson said there were a few minor

ballot machine problems in the morning, but most issues involved voters reporting to the wrong precincts. “Everything went very well. We always have a lot of issues in regards to questions poll workers have,” she said. “We’ve been answering questions all day long.” The 2012 primary election saw all incumbent Hamilton County Republicans win re-election – and three other contested local races. For those voting on the Democratic ticket, there were no candidates outside of a few state and national contests. Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Keith Clock said the party has until noon July 3 to appoint candidates to challenge Republican nominees in November. “It’s always possible,” he said. “We’ll evaluate races and go from there. We’ll definitely try to give people a choice.”

Farmers Market

Friday nights with flair

SAVE

By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com

It’s time to take the usual grocery store outside. The 2012 season of farmers markets is just three weeks away, and there’s more than fresh fruit and veggies every Friday night in Westfield park. Westfield Farmers Market will open June 1 to a new tune, as Radio Disney will be providing the soundtrack for families the first Friday of every month. Anne Poynter, Downtown Westfield Association director, said the community festivities have had tremendous support from the public and now they are bringing businesses together. Poynter “We’ve partnered with several businesses and service organizations that will be helping us set up, run and tear down this year’s market,” Poynter said. This year, expect a street closure to provide a safe experience for visitors of all ages. North Union, just north of Penn Street to just south of the Christ United Methodist Church parking lot, will be closed to traffic every Friday during the farmers market, as recommended by Westfield Police Cheif, Joel D. Rush.

Amber Willis, Westfield Farmers Market coordinator, said themed nights, such as sports night, salsa/tomato night and country night, and weekly musical entertainment are fun ways to enhance community excitement. “It’s a fun, free family event every Friday – where you can support local farmers and crafters, eat dinner and relax to live entertainment,” Willis said. The farmers market will feature 50 vendors and will run from June 1 to Aug. 31, every Friday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

City gathering proposals for transfer of utilities By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com Westfield Mayor Andy Cook has announced that the city is exploring the idea of transferring water and sewer supply to a private sector company. According to Cook, the potential transfer or sale is one that many cities are exploring or have already implemented. “Many cities are faced with meeting the demands of growth,” Cook said in April. “Outsourcing manCook agement or ownership of certain water and sewer assets could help the city provide growth more efficiently.” However, a recent ordinance has already been implemented, and is currently in effect, to increase water and wastewater charges in small increments over a five-year span. In the meantime, Cook said eight companies from across the nation have committed to making proposals, and negotiations are expected to happen during the next six weeks.

Westfield Mayor Andy Cook addresses some questions about the proposed transfer of utilities:

Q: Are the recent increases in water and sewer fees enough to cover the debt owed on utilities? A: No. The increases were adopted to cover the $30 million, five-year capital needs for the growth of Westfield. Q: If a private company is selected to run the utilities, what will Westfield do with the funds it receives? A: Funds from a potential sale could be allocated for traffic intersection improvements, including roundabouts, expanding the linear park system and the possible acceleration for the completion of Grand Park.

“During the next six weeks we will entertain the proposals, we will evaluate the proposals and narrow it down to the best two or three proposals, and then we will decide what’s best to do for the community in the long term,” Cook said. “We plan to have a workable proposal evaluation recommended to me and the council in August.”

Cover story

How Tim Hahn helped save a life and lend a hand to those in need By Lindsay Eckert • lindsay@youarecurrent.com As the sun rises on Saturdays, the hearts of giving wake up to a cause bigger than themselves, as the sounds of gratitude echo through the aroma of hot dogs on a grill. It’s the picture of Helping Hand, a 4-year-old organization that not only brings food to the hungry, but also puts comfort back into lives that have been through incredibly challenging times. Founder Tim Hahn, a Westfield resident, said the group started with only one volunteer, providing as much food as possible. However, during the organization’s four years, it literally has been breathing life back into families in need. “A woman came up to me with one of the translators trying her best to explain the dire condition of her son, who lived 2,000 miles away,” Hahn said. “He had kidney problems and needed a transplant. Here I am handing out bread – what do I know? But she had no one to tell, she didn’t know what to do.” Hahn said through networking the group was able to find a doctor they knew, who lived two blocks away from the woman’s son. “She came up to me weeks later and said her son received the transplant and he was doing fine. It’s amazing what people can do even thousands of miles away from each other.” That person’s life was saved through a crucially needed surgery, but the organization has saved lives in different ways, too. “There was a freshman in high school I noticed one morning. He had glasses and they were duct taped on the sides and even then barely staying together. I see that and think how must he feel at school? Then we found a local ophthalmologist who gave him glasses and lenses.” Hahn said the untraditional donations are what make his organization unique. www.currentinwestfield.com

Helping Hand was founded in 2008: Started with one volunteer, Hahn’s wife, Linda 2010 - Six volunteers 2012 - 50 regular volunteers

Families helped:

Helping Hand serves food to 50 families each week

More than a food pantry:

Donations from Helping Hand include a car, house work and mechanical work on cars for people in need, glasses with lenses, clothes and items such as diapers and other childcare items.

“The people in need are like abused puppies, scared to come out into the world, scared of what they may find or how they will be looked at. It really puts a face on poverty,” Hahn said. Hahn said remembering his roots is a substantial part of his giving heart. “I lived in the inner city, on the east side of Indianapolis, and we faced challenging times. I understand what the families feel, but if you don’t lose track of who you are and remember where you come from, you see such different perspectives – the kind of perspectives that open your eyes to helping people in unique ways.” Keeping a strong connection with his roots helped Hahn plant and grow his own organization. He first started by helping a man Current in Westfield

named Lucius Newson nearly 30 years ago, who inspired him to continue Newson’s legacy on a different note. “I play in a (Jimmy) Buffett cover band, Ten, and we made a CD in 2000 and donated the $2,000 we made to Lucius and his missions to help others,” Hahn said. Today, Newson is the voice guiding Hahn with every moment he hands out food, helps fix a home or saves a child from kidney failure. “He’s around, he whispers a lot when I’m doing right. I know he’s nodding his head and smiling, saying, ‘carry on.’” For more information about how you can get involved in Helping Hand or make your own contribution, contact Tim Hahn at timandlinda1962@comcast.com or 714-5582. Helping Hand meets Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to noon at Westfield Playhouse. May 15, 2012 | 11

Opinion Reserve your seats for Center gala now

Buy local – visit a farmers market It is our position that farmers markets serve as a valuable community resource by providing an outlet for Indiana farmers and growers to earn a living by giving residents easy access to locally produced fresh food. The organic food industry has taken the nation by storm, sending a strong message by consumers that they want healthier food choices. Some of the best farmers markets in the state can be found in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville. Farmers markets offer one-stop shopping for locally raised meats, seasonal fresh vegetables and fruits, honey, tea, pasta, bread, cheeses, pastries, flowers and much more. And, who can resist strolling around the farmers market with a bag of fresh, hot, sugary, salty kettle corn; a breakfast brat from the Kiwanis or freshly brewed ice tea? Vendors range from local family farms and restaurants to church and civic organizations. The farmers markets also depend on hundreds of volunteers for setup, tear down, cleanup and crowd assistance. Outdoor farmers markets in Carmel and Noblesville begin Saturday, Fishers farmers markets begin May 26 and the farmers markets in Zionsville and Westfield begin in June. Support local food producers by visiting a farmers market this summer.

Uncommon request Commentary by Terry Anker

Why is it so often those who give the most require the least, even as those who rarely offer anything are abundant with needs? At a buddy’s birthday party, I caught up with a longtime friend that I’d not seen for ages. He’s the kind of human that falls into the selfless camp. He served us all in the first Gulf War and has continued to always work to make the world a better place. So, I was a little surprised when he asked me if I could take a meeting with him the coming week because of a favor he need to solicit of me. Asked if all was well, he naturally demurred, positing that life had never been better. With the arrival of the appointed day, we met and he shared his mission: to raise a little money to help some Vietnam-era veterans bring The Vietnam Veterans Memorial “Moving Wall” to Fort Harrison on Indianapolis’ northeast side from May 17 to May 21, to recognize the 30th anniversary of the conflict.

He earnestly recounted that these men and women were no longer young kids from newsreels. In fact, for many of them, this might be their last chance to join locally like this to recognize the sacrifice of those fallen. He reminded me that great wealth and military service rarely go hand-in-hand. Then, my friend, the decorated hero looked sheepishly across the table and added, “I wouldn’t ask for me, but these guys need the help; and I can’t do enough by myself.” Of course – I thought – he wouldn’t ask for himself.

Here’s a chance to start summer off on the right note or foot – or both! – before summer actually begins. The Center for the Performing Arts and its artistic director, Michael Feinstein, are at it again. An evening of elegance and history making is on the near horizon, and we’re excited to be able to support it. You may recall the Center’s January 2011 sold-out gala that thrilled everyone in attendance. Well, on June 16, the Center is throwing the party of parties for this summer, another black-tie gala from 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. The highlights of the night will be many, and they include a performance by Barry Manilow as well as his induction into the Manilow Great American Songbook Hall of Fame, whose other inductees include Alan and Marilyn Bergman and Cole Porter. Feinstein and other special guests also will perform. Put it this way: When Michael’s in the house, you never know what can happen. One thing’s for certain – it’s going to be a terrifically entertaining (and filling, considering the outstanding food and drink) evening. You can help the Center celebrate its wildly successful second season by being in attendance. To reserve tables, please contact the Center at its Encore Celebration Gala office at 819-3521. Organizers would appreciate hearing from you by May 24.

Another date with the dentist Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Oh. My. Lord. I cannot believe I had to go back to the dentist! You may recall from an earlier column that I have an irrational fear of dentistry, rooted in childhood trauma and a general lack of narcotics, and was trying desperately to postpone an appointment to have two cavities filled. Inspired by the bravery of my 10-year-old son, I eventually overcame my anxiety and managed to survive the unsettling procedure. One of the teeth I had fixed continued to bother me, even after a few days of expected tenderness. Naturally I ignored it and assumed I was just taking longer than usual to adjust to the ceramic material in the filling. A week passed, however, and the discomfort worsened. I began altering my diet to avoid aggravating the tooth further, cutting out sugary foods, crunchy treats and all taffy-like substances. Nothing helped. Subconsciously, I knew something was wrong, but I just couldn’t bear the thought of having to return to the dentist. I felt certain he would discover a missing filling or a cracked tooth or some sickening gum disease. In my denial, I preferred to suffer through a little toothache rather than learn the truth behind my pain. But as the days wore on and my entire jaw began to throb, I reluctantly realized I’d rather face the drill again then continue to eat only on my

left side and down Advil like jelly beans. (It was similar to my weighing the pros and cons of an epidural. For the first few hours of labor I found the contractions tolerable given my alternative was a needle to the spine. But when the real poo hit the fan, I would have let that doctor stab me in the eyeball if it made the pain disappear!) So I called the office and asked to be seen again, whenever they had an opening, preferably later in the week, next month would be fine. Wouldn’t you know they could take me that very afternoon? Frick! But no, I had to do it. As I drove to the appointment, I purposely chewed Hubba Bubba on the sore side to prevent myself from hightailing it straight to Starbucks – do not pass go, do not collect $200. I was hurting so bad once I got in the chair that I didn’t even have time to be nervous. Luckily, the problem was easily corrected without the need for topical anesthetics or arm restraints. Apparently my filling had not been smoothed down enough, throwing my entire bite out of whack. I basically freaked out over nothing. Ah, well, I lived to tell the tale, and that’s all that matters. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

When dentists make the news Laugh by Mike Redmond

tually, the lawsuit doesn’t even specify what the dentist was doing in there with a screwdriver. Anyway, she alleges that the thing went down her gullet into her stomach, causing intense abdominal pain, which makes sense. Who among us who has swallowed a hand tool didn’t complain of intense abdominal pain? Her suit says the doctor sent her to the emergency room for X-rays and told her to try to bring the thing back up or to eat a lot of fiber, which raises the question: How many bowls of Raisin Bran would it take to move a screwdriver down the old alimentary canal? Wow. If I take anything away from these stories, it is relief – relief that these people are not my dentist, for starters, but also relief that the guy who does my dental work is competent, sure-fingered and not mad at me. He has his quirks – he’s big on making you laugh when your mouth is full of cotton, dental tools and fingers – but thanks to him, I still have most of the teeth I started with. It isn’t newsworthy. And that’s just the way I like it.

And now, hold on to your hats because it’s time for … Dentists In The News! That might be the only time in history those four words have appeared together, in that order. Dentists tend not to make a lot of news. As a rule, they seem to be a fairly sedate group of professionals, at least compared to legislators, athletes and those wild-and-crazy middle school science teachers. When dentists DO make news, it’s big, like when these two made headlines recently: First was a dentist in London – England, not Ohio – who got revenge on her ex-boyfriend as only a dentist could. The ex, one Marek Olszewski, 45, scheduled an appointment with his former girlfriend, dentist Anna Mackowiak, for treatment of a toothache. She put him under and extracted the tooth. Then she extracted all his other teeth for good measure. Mackowiak is facing jail time and loss of her license for malpractice. Which, if you know anything of dental work Wayne in the United Kingdom, is more or less Brush Script Medium the standard anyway. Keep the stroke’s scale when enlarging or shrinking. OK, rinse and spit. Mike Redmond is an author, Stateside, Lena David of Louisville is suing journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ her dentist, Dr. W.B. Galbreath, for allegedly mikeredmondonline.com or P.O. Box dropping a small screwdriver down her throat. I 44385, Indianapolis, IN 46244. don’t know if it was a flat blade or Phillips. Ac-

Cutting remarks Laughs by Dick Wolfsie

I was thinking the other day about all the women in my neighborhood who mow their lawns. My wife has never mowed our lawn. I want to ask her about it, but I am afraid she’ll assume I want her to mow the lawn, which couldn’t be further from the truth. If she started mowing the lawn, it would jeopardize our relationship by altering the delicate balance between my wife’s independence and her femininity. Of course, if she really wanted to mow the lawn, I wouldn’t stop her. I’m just really curious why she won’t mow the lawn. When we first got married, we lived in an apartment – you just don’t see a lot of lawnmowing women in apartments. Then we moved to a condo and again there were few really good role models for her. When we bought a house, I started mowing the lawn and have mowed our lawn for 30 years since, whenever the grass has gotten too high or the dandelions needed their heads chopped off. Mary Ellen has never expressed any interest in this endeavor. I do vaguely remember her saying that mowing is man’s work and I should accept that. I think at the time I was changing Brett’s diaper and she was rewiring a lamp.

When I married Mary Ellen, her lack of mowing experience didn’t matter. After all, she was intelligent, beautiful, sensitive and caring. She was all a man could want. I assumed that if push came to shove, she’d mow the lawn. But it never even came to push. During the summer, I prefer to sit on a lounge chair and sip lemonade, but instead I have to cut the grass. That’s where a wife who’s willing to mow really comes in handy. Not that it’s that important. Just sayin’. Come to think of it, it’s chauvinistic for a man to make his wife mow the lawn. On the other hand, it’s also chauvinistic for a man to assume that a woman doesn’t know how to mow the lawn. Maybe she really wants to, but is afraid her husband doesn’t think she can do it. I’m sure that’s it. My friend Steve’s wife mows the lawn. He was over the other day and asked me why Mary Ellen never mows the lawn. I was as honest with him as I could be. “I don’t know, Steve. I never really thought about it.”

Morning Meals

Digging into the best breakfast joints in your neighborhood By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com We always hear people say, “There just aren’t any good places to go get breakfast.” While there certainly are fewer local restaurants specializing in breakfast than there are specializing in lunch and dinner, there are still tons of great options here in our communities. One favorite of many earlybirds in Carmel is Bub’s Café located just south of Bub’s Burgers & Ice Cream along the Monon Trail. Bub’s Café features an extremely inviting and cheery interior that matches the quality of its food. While the café prides itself on its Big Stack (12 pancakes), the menu also features a number of re-imagined breakfast staples including a favorite, the Bub’s Breakfast Bread Bowl (bread

bowl filled with fried potatoes, choice of meat, sausage gravy, two eggs and cheese). The Roost at Sahm’s in Fishers offers a wide variety of breakfast staples including a number of great omelets featuring ingredients like chorizo, red onion jam and Feta cheese. Although the Roost opens as early as 6:30 a.m. during the week, breakfast is served all day. Noblesville’s Best Bet Breakfast and Lunch is an interesting eatery with a casino motif. Featuring entrees like The Big Deal (three tacos filled with eggs and Spanish sausage) and The All In (a double order of fried potatoes mixed with three eggs, ham, sausage and more), Best Bet may have a smaller menu than other restaurants in the area but it sets itself apart with its unique offerings.

Phoenix’s ‘Avenue Q’ brings the laughs By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com

The Phoenix Theatre’s production of Robert Lopez’s and Jeff Marx’s “Avenue Q,” which finished up its run on Sunday, was an apt capturing of the puppeted satire keeping audience members rolling in laughter throughout. The musical has always held a special place in my heart not entirely undue to the similarities between its plot and my own experiences. Led by the idealistic Princeton (played by Ben Tebbe), a just-out-of-college puppet with a “useless degree” in English and a burning desire to find his purpose, "Avenue Q" tells the tale of a group of tenants in a New York apartment who’re all trying to figure out their purpose in life – with varying degrees of success. The Phoenix’s production featured a versatile performance from Claire Wilcher, playing both the lecherous-but-lovable Trekkie Monster and the lecherous-but-lustable Lucy the Slut. The latter puppet’s appearance strayed from the traditional buxom blonde into a more Kardashianesque figure with Day-Glo orange skin … and that might be more appropriate for today’s audiences. As ever, the Bad Idea Bears’ endearingly terrible advice kept audiences laughing. The puppets were played by Jason Gloye and Eric J. Olson, who doubled as Rod and Nicky, respectively, and each shared an unsettling resemblance to their puppets.

The real star of the production, however, was theater-veteran Emily Ristine’s Kate Monster, who brought a perfect mix of bookish naïveté and grab-life-by-the-horns enthusiasm to the character. Other notable performances included Diane Tsao Boehm’s dual role as Christmas Eve and Mrs. Thistletwat, Dakeisha Bryant’s downon-his-luck Gary Coleman, and Brian, played appropriately by R. Brian Noffke, who seemed not at all uncomfortable playing one of the few human characters on a stage of puppets. The Phoenix Theatre’s production of "Avenue Q" was directed by Bryan Fonseca and musical director Kevin D. Smith. The next show at the Phoenix will be “Forever Sung: A Celebration of Age in Song,” created by Bryan Fonseca and Tim Brickley. The show will run May 17-26.

‘The Avengers’ starts the summer off right Commentary by Christian Sorrell During the past four years and across five different films, Marvel has been building the universe for the first live-action film adaptation of “The Avengers,” a long-running comic series. The film is a moment in Hollywood history that has never been accomplished or even attempted. It is a film that acts as a sequel to five of the largest-scale action films of the past several years. Already, it is apparent that Marvel’s plan has paid off. “The Avengers” set the record for the largest domestic opening weekend with more than $207 million in ticket sales. In the film, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) join together in order to save the earth from an attacking demigod and his cosmic army. The film does a great job of weaving together all of the previous films by featuring the villain of “Thor” using the device from “Captain America: The First Avenger.” Seeing all of these characters (and actors) in one film is extremely exciting to behold. It reminds me of the type of fantasy films I would cook up in my brain as a child that never actually came to fruition. From beginning to end, the film is brimming with wonderful dialogue, incredible over-the-

Improvements in lip implants

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: I have gotten lip injections using fillers for the past five years. But after five years and more than a dozen injection treatments, I am tired of the expense and the hassle (pain!) of the lip injections. I have read that there are permanent materials for lip augmentation. What can you tell about permanent lip implants? A: Despite their existence for more than 15 years in the plastic surgery world, lip implants have never gained much traction as an everyday procedure, partly because of problems in implant design and materials and partly because of a general fear of having an “implant” in the lip. I have used every developed permanent lip implant available and have seen many of their benefits and potential problems. The newest lip implant, called PermaLip, is the best design and material that I have seen to date. It is made from a very soft and flexible silicone elastomer. Based on how it feels, it could easily be called the “Gummy Bear lip implant.” It has well-designed tapering edges, which is very important. The implants are done in the office under local anesthesia with some swelling and occasional bruising, which is largely resolved in a week after the procedure.

Q: I was looking at some before and after tummy tuck pictures and was interested. I looked again the next day and I was able to get a closer look, and the scars are very big. I have decided I’m going to try and go to a center for weight loss and see how that works first. Approximately, how much does a tummy tuck with liposuction around the sides of the waist cost? A: While a full tummy tuck will solve the problem in a manner otherwise not achievable, the “price” to be paid for it is the trade-off of the a long horizontal scar. While the procedure is very effective, you have to be certain that this aesthetic trade-off is worth it to you. That is why I could not agree more that you pursue every nonsurgical option first and only consider surgery when you have become convinced that all other methods are not achieving what you want. Much of plastic surgery is about trading one problem for another – you just have to be certain that the other “problem” is more acceptable than what you have now. In the case of a full tummy tuck, that aesthetic trade-off is the scar. The approximate total cost of a full tummy tuck with flank liposuction is around $8,500, all costs included.

I’m getting ready to graduate and am fortunate to have found a job that is going to allow me to finally move out of my family home. Is renters insurance something that I really need?-Andy L. from Carmel Congratulations on the new job! Now it’s time to protect that paycheck with a renters insurance policy. People like to make a lot of excuses as to why they neglect to purchase a renters insurance policy: “I can't afford it,” “I don’t have enough stuff to insure,” “Nothing is going to happen to my stuff.” The liability protection alone is really enough reason to buy, but let’s break it down. The first thing you need to know about renters insurance is that it’s pretty affordable. A typical policy can cost less than $200 per year. That’s less than $4 per week. It’s worth the sacrifice. You are also in for a nice bonus if you already have car insurance. Many insurance carriers will give you a multi-policy discount if you package your auto and renters policy together with the same company. The second thing you need to know is that your stuff is much more valuable than you realize. How much would it cost you to start over if you had a total loss? Apartments burn down and get robbed just like houses do. Starting over after a loss like that is much easier when your

independent insurance agent drops off a check to replace all of your stuff. The last thing you need to know is probably the most important. A renters policy protects your financial assets by providing liability coverage. Liability insurance covers you for injury you cause to others and for damage to property that belongs to others. There are many ways to trigger a liability claim, so I’ve got some examples for you. Claim scenario A: You decide to play in a recreational softball league. While batting you hit a pitch back at the pitcher, putting him in the hospital. The pitcher sues you, and your renters policy steps in to defend you and settle the suit. Claim scenario B: You have some friends over for dinner. Your floor is wet and one of the friends slips and falls and requires medical treatment. Your renters policy steps in to pay for the treatment. The risk of going without this simple insurance coverage is not worth the couple of dollars a week that you save by not having it. Call your independent insurance agent today and make sure you’re covered!

Move the Needle – little things Commentary by CJ McClanahan During the past nine years, I have given out more than 250 copies of my favorite book, “The Success Principles,” by success coach and author Jack Canfield. Last week, I was blessed to spend a week with Jack, his staff and entrepreneurs from around the world. It was a great opportunity to learn new strategies for getting clear about what’s really important in our lives and achieving our goals. However, the most important lesson I took away from this week was very small. By that, I mean I learned (actually re-learned) that it’s the little things that always lead to the greatest successes. We are so tempted to chase after the new quick-fix solution that we completely forget that it is always about the fundamentals. For example, I just visited Amazon.com to see which book would pop up when I searched the word “diet.” Guess what was the No. 1 selection? “The 17 Day Diet – A Doctor’s Design Planned for Results.” Really? Seventeen days – are you kidding me? Every single person reading this article knows exactly how to lose weight. You eat less and exercise more. In fact, it’s even easier than that – all you need to do is burn more calories each day than you consume. That’s it. But, it takes time. A lot more than

s ’ n

17 days. However, if you follow the basics, you will get the results you desire. For me, the lesson I learned was equally simple. There are a handful of daily rituals that always lead to a successful and purpose-driven day. They include daily gratitude, affirmations and meditation. I am certain that putting these simple behaviors back into practice will lead to amazing results. Unfortunately, I had abandoned them over the past few years and guess what happened? It’s the same thing that happens to your midsection when you eat fast food and skip the gym. I drifted back into bad habits and got less than desirable results. As soon as I got back to the office, I got back into the routine. I know that it will take time before I see results. In addition, I am certain that there will be days when I wonder if it’s worth the effort. Yet, I know that if I commit to the little things, I will reap the big rewards. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Help handicap children Commentary by Brandie Bohney While browsing Pinterest, I found a sign with the phrase that inspired this column's headline. I feel certain that the creators of this sign meant it to read, “Help Handicapped Children.” Surely there isn’t a group with the exclusive purpose of handicapping children. The sign got me thinking about the proper use of words like “handicapped” and “disabled.” Many people use these words very seldom and are therefore confounded when having to select the correct term. I did a little research (the volume of material written about this subject is staggering), and here’s the advice I can give: “Handicap,” as a noun, is most correctly used to describe a restriction a person encounters rather than a condition a person has. Numerous sources used an identical definition: “a physical or attitudinal constraint imposed upon a person, regardless of whether that person has a disability.”1 In other words, the handicap is temporary, whether it is a flight of impassable stairs or a rotten attitude. The term “handicapped” is considered offensive and should not be used to describe a person. “Disability” is also repeatedly defined by various sources using the exact same wording: “a condition caused by accident, trauma, genetics or disease which may limit a person’s mobility, hearing, vision, speech or mental function.”1 A disability is a more permanent condition rather

than an obstacle or limitation. The term “disabled” is preferable to “handicapped,” but the best way to refer to a person with a disability is just that: a person with a disability. The main thing to remember is that the person, not the disability, should come first. In other words, it is more appropriate to say that a person has epilepsy than he or she is an epileptic. The placement of the disability and use of words of personhood are important in making clear that the people who have disabilities are people first. In addition, it is also important not to refer to people of able bodies as “normal” by comparison to those who have disabilities. After all, what is normal to one person may not be normal to another. “Ablebodied” is a preferred term to “normal.” I would be interested to hear input from readers who have more experience with this terminology; my research was done entirely through legal and grammatical documents, and I’d be interested in real-word applications, as long as those applications aren’t signs advocating the handicapping of children. 1 Both definitions came from www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov, but exact copies of the definitions were found on numerous other Web sites.

Smartphone viruses on the rise Commentary by Ken Colburn Can my Android smartphone really get a virus from the Internet? - Joel The popularity of smartphones and tablets combined with the high rate of daily usage has made them an obvious target for malware attacks. In general, the Android platform has been and will continue to be the most likely to be exploited for two reasons: the open architecture and its market share (it’s now No. 1). Most existing malware designed to exploit smartphones has either been “proof of concept” applications developed by security firms or crudely written programs that require the user to download and install an infected app. For the most part, if you are careful about where you get your apps (Apple’s App Store or Google Play) and don’t “jailbreak” or “root” your phone to install apps that have not been approved by the vendor, you can sidestep most of the danger. Because Android phones can take advantage of “sideloading” apps, which allows the user to install anything they want from any source they want, they can also be exploited in this way. Lookout Mobile Security recently discovered that the age-old exploit used to infect computers called “drive-by downloads” is now being used to infect Android smartphones. It’s now possible to have an infected program slipped onto your Android smartphone simply by visiting a hacked

Web site that has malicious code, and you can count on this being just the beginning of this type of exploit. The good news is that it’s fairly rare and still requires you to approve the installation of the app to complete the infection. To avoid being a victim of this newest exploit, make sure your Android phone does not install apps from unknown sources (go to Settings/ Applications/Unknown Sources and make sure there is not a checkmark). If you are in the high-risk category (rooted or jailbroken phone and you install apps from outside sources) you might want to consider installing Lookout’s free security app (www.mylookout. com/download), which watches over your phone to alert you when suspicious activity is detected. Lookout might cause some performance issues as it becomes a constantly running overlord in order to protect you from yourself, so only load it if you think you need the extra protection. Smartphones are a fast developing arena that will continue to be targeted by the bad guys, so make sure you keep your smartphone updated (regardless of which platform you are on) and avoid installing any apps that you really don’t need.

Sin and God’s savings plan Faith by Bob Walters Plenty of Christians look up and out from their Bible or church and see a world full of sinners who ought to be punished. Much of that world looks back at Christians, shakes its collective head and wonders, “If Christianity is about sin and guilt and fear and punishment, how is that better than the life I’m leading right now where I don’t judge anyone … and I don’t fear anyone or anything judging me?” I’m afraid I know this one to be true: a Christian with a heart full of zeal to save sinners can be the worst witness of the saving grace of Jesus Christ. That’s because, to the non-believing world, the suffering Christ on the cross is anything but a picture of love. And I know that any conversation that starts, “Let me tell about how Jesus died for your sins,” contains the presumption of condemnation, as in: “Hi, how do you do? You’re a sinner. You’re condemned. And this guy, Jesus, died for you.” Huh? I’d wonder, “Well, if that guy really died for me, why am I still condemned? And hey, who are you calling a sinner?” It is the Christian who is supposed to understand that the first and worst sinner he or she sees every day is the one staring back at him or her from the mirror. And as a believing, studying Christian, I know that Christ’s work on

the cross was a whole lot more involved, and important, than just forgiving and covering my many sins. Christ on the cross restored and reconciled the fallen world with the Creator God Almighty. At the cross – in grace, not transaction – the eternal destiny of all mankind was set upright. At the cross, everything changed. At the cross Christ restored our relationship with God, defined our proper fellowship with each other, defeated death, adopted us as children into the Kingdom of Heaven, revealed the truth and the true God, hastened the arrival of the comfort of the Holy Spirit and defined our human lives in terms of sacrifice, service and, most importantly, love. Christ gave us the peace of repentance, freedom from guilt and fear and blessed us with the joy of hope and fullness to replace the despair of regret and emptiness. And, oh yeah, our sins were forgiven, too. Don’t sell Christ short thinking His death was solely about sin. God’s savings plan is about a world full of sinners who need to be – and ought to be – loved. Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com) shakes his head at how many Christians condemn others rather than love others. See this post at commonchristianity.blogspot.com.

Michelangelo’s “Creation of the Sun and Moon” (Submitted Photo)

1:00, 10:00

The sun and the moon Commentary Don Knebel

Our host for a recent meeting in Rome was a member of the distinguished Italian family that produced Pope Martin V. He was able to arrange a private tour of the Vatican Museums, ending at the Sistine Chapel. Allowed to wander freely, we saw both the familiar and the mildly shocking. Michelangelo’s most famous scene, in the center of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, shows God almost touching the finger of Adam. In 1990, F. Lynn Meshberger, who now practices medicine in Anderson, provided an alternative to the traditional explanation that God is giving life to Adam. While a medical student, he published an article demonstrating that God’s cape and various protruding appendages closely mimic the shape and structures of the human brain. He suggested that Michelangelo, who studied human anatomy, may have intended to show God giving Adam the gift of intelligence. That story, without the student’s name, is routinely told by Sistine Chapel guides. Near the end of our visit, my wife noticed a scene that was not called out by our guide. A panel over the altar, showing God creating the sun and the moon, includes what can most delicately be described as an undraped and provocatively directed male derriere, apparently that of God. Some speculate this scene was Michelangelo’s way of insulting Pope Julius II for making

him spend four years painting frescoes when he wanted instead to be a sculptor. Others piously suggest Michelangelo was illustrating that people are not supposed to see the face of God, which seems a stretch because God’s face is shown in the same panel. Perhaps there is no message – the Sistine Chapel ceiling shows a lot of uncovered flesh reflecting only Michelangelo’s virtuosity. Whatever its raison d’être, Michelangelo’s moon reflects an eternal truth: The greater the artist, the greater the mystery.

Love is just the beginning Commentary by Vicky Earley

Find things you love and build around them. Designers will be the first to tell you that they’d rather not start from scratch. Their best work is a combination of what you love and what they know. - Karol DeWulf Nickell, Signature Style: Creating Beautiful Interiors Decorating a room requires falling head over heels in love with one stunning textile. That one textile is the catapult for the remainder of the design. More often than not, that incredibly beautiful fabric will come with an amazing price tag. Fear not – remember that it’s just one fabulous fabric and, when mixed judiciously with moderately priced fabrics, it elevates all the players in the room. When it comes to mixing, most homeowners are comfortable with pairing a pattern with a solid. Beyond that, the thought of adding more strikes to the heart of design cowardice, and that is where so-so and polished part ways. This inspiration fabric should have at least three colors, which can be blended with two or more additional fabrics. Vary the fabrics with contrast, texture, scale, sheen and pattern. • Contrast: Overall color of one fabric should be light, with one medium and one darker. • Texture: Choose fabrics with different textures, such as a smooth silk, a woven linen or velvet. • Scale: Vary the size of the patterns by including one large, one medium and one smaller pattern or solid. For example, you might choose a large paisley, a medium stripe in coordinating colors and a small embroidered pattern or a solid texture. • Sheen: Mix shiny and matte fabrics. • Pattern: Mix curvy and linear patterns,

Visit our online store! such as a floral or a toile and a check or plaid, with a third pattern, such as a small overall print or solid color. Experiment with different fabric samples until you find a grouping that feels comfortable then decide where they will be used. Spread the fabrics around the room to create balance. For example, if you use your inspiration fabric for draperies in your bedroom, you might use the same fabric for a couple of throw pillows, shams or a headboard. The second fabric could be used as a duvet cover and for window shades and to upholster one chair. Your third fabric might be a luxurious solid linen that can trim the window treatments, make shams or throw pillows for the bed and cover a bench at the foot of the bed. Don’t forget that your walls and floor coverings are additional areas for color, pattern and scale. Consider those elements, as well as the style and scale of your furniture, when planning a room.

Basement wine bar functions for whole family Remodeling by Larry Greene ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home, located in the Woods at Grey Eagle subdivision in Fishers, was built as a custom spec home in 2005, and the homeowners moved in during 2006. According to the owners, “Although the basement was fairly nicely finished, we still wanted it more customized to our family’s needs. It was an alternative to moving – we took what we had and made it our own.” OPENING UP WALL: The wall separating the existing wet bar from the other finished room was opened up to provide a unifying feeling. New stained paneling was added to the back wall including a new French door opening to the theater room. A wrap-around granite countertop was added in addition to the wine storage wall included new wine racks, cubbies and cubes. The electrical upgrades include new pendants, recessed can lights and LED lights in the wine cabinets. WINE BAR DETAILS: The goal of the project was to turn the original plain wet bar into an expanded wine bar experience. The owner commented, “My favorite part of the new basement is the wine wall. It looks very custom and

Before fits the space to a 'T'. The trim carpenters and design team paid great attention to the details. They took a look at the style of the rest of my home, the details that the builder added, and incorporated these into the basement remodel. The custom moldings and even the door hardware were brought into the basement design. Someone first visiting our home would never know that the basement was remodeled – it looks like it was built at the same time as the rest of the house.” FINAL RESULTS: The homeowners commented, “We are using the basement every day. The

After kids like to go down there and sit at the bar to do homework or eat pizza. It is a quiet space for them. And we are planning to bring in a local wine store to host a wine tasting for our friends in our basement this summer.”
