OUR VIEWS

It is our position that the people of Hamilton County must continue to support organizations such as the Entrepreneurship Advancement Center (EAC). EAC’s sole goal is to promote local entrepreneurship and provide the resources to increase the success rate of neophyte entrepreneurs. The EAC offers a variety of programs for those looking to create their own business. First, there is the wildly popular student business competition, which has helped produce four student-run businesses since 2009. There is also the Community Business Plan Competition, which was created in 2010 and gives the winner consulting advice from local business leaders. Other programs include networking events as well as educational happenings. We believe institutions like the EAC are what make Hamilton County one of the most successful counties in the United States. The EAC’s ability to spark the entrepreneurial interest in high school students and provide resources and consultation from experienced business leaders for all is a major asset that everyone should take advantage of. For more information on the Entrepreneurship Advancement Center, go to http://goentrepreneurs.org.

Pooch perks

It is our position that dogs – man’s best friends – are deserving of a few perks in life, such as the opportunity to exercise and socialize in the safe confounds of a fenced-in dog park. Commonly referred to as “bark parks,” these parks provide ample space for dogs to run freely without a leash in the company of fellow canine companions. Some parks even provide ponds for swimming and retrieving. Pierson Bark Park in Fishers is one such park. There is also a dog park in Westfield, and the idea is being explored in Carmel. Safeguards such as requiring the pet’s vaccination records and adhering to a strict set of behavioral and clean-up rules help ensure a safe environment for play. Paid memberships also help offset the cost of operation. Bark parks are especially beneficial for dogs with little land to run or dogs that are just plain lonely. They also serve as great bonding grounds for pet owners. Most humans are happier and healthier when they exercise regularly and have a large social circle. The same holds true for dogs. They supply us with so much joy and unconditional love; isn’t it only right to return the favor?

Reader’s view

Thank you! Center resumes news flow

A response to a May 17 letter

Where we criticize, we also look for opportunities to commend, and this is one such example. Today, we’d like to offer a sincere note of appreciation to the leadership of The Center for the Performing Arts for resuming the flow of news releases to Current. That type of cooperation tells us that the greater Hamilton County community is important to the center, and we believe that is as it should be. So again, thanks, folks. Elsewhere in this issue and online, you will find The Palladium’s summer schedule. There are some American musical institutions, Emmylou Harris to name one, which will make this a memorable summer at The Palladium, the center’s gem. What appears to be an aggressive pursuit of touring acts is to be applauded. As we always do, we urge you to call the Center’s box office at 843.3800 or visit tickets@thecenterfortheperformingarts. org. to pack the house. Turn on the lights and turn up the volume! ••• And so Gov. Mitch Daniels, who we believed to be darned near a shoo-in for the Republican nomination for the 2012 presidential election, has opted out of running, allowing his family’s feelings to play a determining role in the decision. We hoped

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg against this, but since blood is thicker than water – or votes and unyielding scrutiny – we begrudgingly understand his answer. Still, we believed (and still do) that Our Man Mitch would have seriously ratcheted up the discourse along the way to Election Day. We believed (and still do) that Daniels would have had something of a forceful, changing effect on President Barack Obama – especially on the fiscal conservancy front. Look at how Daniels made Indiana financially whole again in less than two terms. We’re not suggesting he could accomplish that with our national finances, but he would have made a massive dent in the problem. We’re all poorer for his decision, but that’s life.

Editor, I find it necessary to respond to Ms. Brownell’s comments from your May 17 issue, which are at best innuendos, and in one instance totally false. She refers to your article regarding Mr. Cameron’s allegations against Bruce Hauk and the fact that Mr. Hauk resigned at a later date to take another position. The insinuation is that the allegations had something to do with his leaving his position. Perhaps it would have been more informative if Ms. Brownell had stated that ALL of the allegations were found to be groundless and without merit by the Hamilton County Prosecutor after an investigation by the Indiana State Police. Fact: Mr. Hauk received an offer from his former employer that is a significant advancement for his career. That firm’s gain is a significant loss for the city of a creative public servant with the highest level of integrity that I have ever seen in either the public or private sector. To appear to tie the totally false allegations to Mr. Hauk’s resignation is a disservice to Mr. Hauk and the residents of Westfield. Yes, Andy Cook was in his polling precinct the night before the election. As the precinct

committee person for that precinct, he was assisting the election officials with the physical setup of the equipment the night before an election. The state code IC 3-14-3-15 only addresses the issue of candidates entering a polling place during the time the polls are open, not at other times. No violation there. The complaint Ms. Brownell references regarding Mr. Cameron “for walking into the polling area before it opened to make sure there was a Democratic judge” is not true. The complaint that was filed concerned Mr. Cameron entering a polling place where he was not registered to vote. It was NOT before the polls were open, but during voting hours, in violation of State Code IC 3-14-3-15. How do I know that her comments are not accurate? I was the one that filed the complaint, as I was the poll watcher for that precinct. Lastly, Mr. Cameron was a Republican candidate for Mayor on the Primary ballot. It is rather curious as to why he would even be concerned about the presence of a Democratic judge hours after the polls had opened? These are the facts, not innuendo or untruths. Joe Plankis 46074

Is divorce sometimes the best thing for your kids? COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson Do you ever think about what would happen if you and your spouse divorced? It’s been on my mind lately, not because my husband and I are having problems, but because we’ve been hanging out recently with either friends who are divorced or those who may be heading in that direction. I think it’s only natural to wonder how you would handle serious marital issues if they arose and what decisions you would make. For example, Doo asked me the other day what I would do if he ever had an affair. I’d like to think I could forgive him and give our marriage a second chance, because everyone deserves another shot, right? But honestly, I just don’t know how I would feel about it. “What if I cheated on you on several different occasions? What then?” Easy. I’d kick him out on his buttooski. How can you ever trust someone after repeated indiscretions? And how can you have a marriage if there is no trust? Of course, we have children. Four of them, and they are all at the age that they would be acutely aware if Daddy moved out. So I asked Doo, “If I screwed up, but you were never able to forgive me, would you still want to stay together for the kids?” This opened a whole ‘nother can of worms. Because whose happiness should come first? Ours? Theirs? Is it better to tough it out and stay in a miserable relationship so that your kids have a sense of family and se-

curity, even if that sense is based on a lie? Or would it be healthier to part ways amicably and hope to find love again with someone else? After all, children are incredibly perceptive. I once knew an 8-year old who was so stressed out by her parents’ constant fighting that she began pulling out her eyelashes. (They eventually got themselves and her into therapy, and everyone is much better now.)

Because whose happiness should come first? Ours? Theirs? Is it better to tough it out and stay in a miserable relationship so that your kids have a sense of family and security, even if that sense is based on a lie?

Have you seen the movie “Couples Retreat”? One of the couples is just waiting until their teenage daughter goes off to college so that they can divorce. They literally spent 10 years of their lives hating each other but pretending they didn’t so that their daughter would grow up with a positive view of marriage. I’m honestly not sure I could be that unselfish. After all, sometimes marriages aren’t meant to last, for whatever reason. You were married too young, you have a major shift in ideologies, etc. And I guess, sometimes, you just fall out of love. Even if two people commit to counseling and serious work on their marriage, I truly believe some people are better off apart. At least then your kids could have the chance of being in two loving environments rather than one cold or fake one. I don’t know. It’s so easy for me to sit here and hypothesize, because it’s not my marriage on the brink. And it’s even easier to judge other people. I hope to God I never have to make a decision like that for real. Come to think of it, I’d better go find Doo and tell him how much I love him and need him. And that I’ll kill him if he ever put me in that situation. Peace out.

Even when you think you are being discreet when you argue, kids can always tell when something’s up. So would it even be possible to fool your children into thinking everything was OK? Maybe, but I can’t imagine what that would you emotionally. eventually, 5/25/11 11081cost INFINITI Carmel And Current_5_31 they will find out. What then?

Breakfast raises nearly $24,000 Current in Westfield Embracing the message Indiana Representative Dan Burton shared about his very personal experience as a child abuse survivor, donors contributed nearly $24,000 at the Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast held last month. Burton served as keynote speaker for the breakfast and shared his personal story of child abuse at the hands of his father. WTHR Community Affairs Director Angela Cain shared her own perspectives from her “Shatter the Silence” series as the mistress of ceremonies. “Congressman Burton’s story of survival was powerful validation for why Chaucie’s Place exists,” said Chaucie’s Place Board President and Hamilton County Board of Commissioners Director of Administration Dan Stevens. Founded in 2001, Chaucie’s Place is a nonprofit organization that serves families in Hamilton County by providing a neutral, childfriendly environment where a comprehensive interview takes place in cases of alleged child molestation, abuse and neglect. The center’s staff aims to reduce trauma to child victims while improving the quality of evidence gathered by members of the multidisciplinary team.

Congressman Dan Burton shared some of his experiences as a child abuse survivor. Those interested in making a contribution to Chaucie’s Place may do so online at www.chauciesplace.org/donations.

The first official schematic designs of the project were recently presented at a City Council meeting, and Councilman Ken Kingshill said the process of working through the issues and creating these renderings began in December 2010. The renderings show the Plazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various planned uses, including hosting a summer concert series, housing winter activities such as ice skating and an arts garden. According to the presentation, the public space investment would total an estimated $19.2 million.

Summer at The Palladium Make the most of your money at the Civic Theatre features standout acts COMMENTARY By Cheri Dick A frequent topic of conversation in the theater world is the high cost of tickets to shows on Broadway. Instead of paying Broadway prices, the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre invites you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show … right here in your own hometown. For the price of one good seat to a show at the Majestic on West 44th Street in New York City, you can subscribe to a whole season at Civic Theatre, which provides an artistic product that can compete with the finest theatres in the country. Think of it as a way to make your next “staycation” feel more like a real vacation. When you become a subscriber, you will see five high quality, professionally produced and directed shows and have plenty of reserve left for Civic’s personal concierge to make a preshow dinner reservation for you at any of the great restaurants in the Carmel area, such as the Renaissance Inn. This personal concierge service is the first of many ways Civic is saying “thank you” to all of its loyal subscribers. Of course, there are all the usual perks like ticket exchange privileges, priority seating, discounts on additional tickets and advance notices and invitations to special events. But in addition, as a subscriber, you will also receive some unexpected pleasures, such as guaranteed free covered parking for every show and a valuable 10 percent discount on fees for family members (children or adults) who enroll in Jr. Civic’s education program. Civic’s new home at the Center for the Performing Arts gives us the opportunity to significantly expand our educational programming by offering more classes, workshops, camps and performing opportunities to children and adults between the ages of 2 to 99 than ever before. And now, for the first time in our theater’s 97year history, we are offering to all of our subscribers a savings of 10 percent on enrollment fees!

To subscribe to Civic’s exciting first season at the Tarkington, call our subscriber line at 923-4597. As you will soon see, you don’t have to travel all the way to New York City to experience five nights of great entertainment. Cheri Dick is the executive director of the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. You can contact her via e-mail at cheri@civictheatre. org.

Wally Saettel spends his retirement recreating dirt track racing of the early 1900s By Brandie Bohney Current in Westfield Most people take up a hobby when they retire. Some, however, prefer a little more excitement. Wally Saettel is one such person. A retired auto mechanic of 45 years, Saettel and his wife Dian kept busy in retirement by chasing trains, attending air shows, and joining an antique auto racing club to watch the races. After a number of years, though, Dian offered a suggestion that changed the Saettels’ involvement in the Antique Auto Racing Association (AARA). “I’ve always liked racing, but we joined this club in ’81,” Wally Saettel said. “We’d been members about 10 years. We were sitting in the grandstand, and my wife says, ‘You ever think about doing that?’ I said, ‘Doing what?’ She said, ‘Going out there and driving.’” His initial reaction was that affording an antique race car just wasn’t feasible for the couple. But as luck would have it, that assumption didn’t end the possibility. Saettel started thinking about building a car from the ground up, and he says, “Just a couple weeks later, there was an ad for an engine and transmission,” in an auto paper. “That’s what got me started.” Five years and dozens of swap meets later, Saettel had pieced together a remarkable racecar made from parts of various pre-1950 automobiles. The frame rails came from a ’28 Oldsmobile, the rear axle is from a ’39 Ford, the transmission’s a ’39 Ford, and the engine’s a ’47 Ford, he said. The rear body piece was modified from two ’55 Chevy deck lids, the front grille is the top two-thirds of a ’37 Ford truck. “I drew a lot of designs on paper,” he said with a knowing laugh. “The mistakes are easier to get rid of with an eraser than with a welding torch.” Building the car himself saved tremendously on costs. “I think I’ve only got about $6,000 in the car,” he says. Purchasing a finished car would have cost at least twice as much. History is what determines the price, Saettel said, noting that if a famous driver has raced the car, the value goes up exponentially. When his car was finished in 2000, Saettel started driving it in all six AARA races each season in Ohio and Michigan. At the time, he was 67 years old. Now, 11 years later, he’s still driving the same car in the four races the AARA still runs each season. He laughs at the notion of having someone else drive the car for him.

“People say to me all the time, ‘You drive it?’ and I say, ‘You think I’m going to spend five years building it and take a chance on letting someone else drive it?’ Not going to happen,” he said. And at 78, Saettel isn’t the oldest driver in the club; another member takes that honor at 87 years of age. Dian accompanies her husband to every race. When asked if she comes with him, Saettel smiled and answered enthusiastically, “Absolutely! This is her fault!” Dian is more involved now, too, serving as the organization’s treasurer. The cars don’t run at an Indy-car pace; 70 miles per hour is at the top end of the speed capabilities of most of the cars. In addition, the AARA is about preserving a tradition of racing, not about winning. “It’s not like we’re out there racing for the bean and beer money,” Saettel said, laughing. “Whether you finish first or finish last, you get the same thing: nothing.” It’s all about enjoying the race and upholding the tradition, so risking life and limb to get around one more car simply isn’t part of the process.” While the Saettels and others like them are keeping the antique auto racing tradition alive for now, numbers in the club are beginning to dwindle. Younger race enthusiasts simply aren’t getting involved in antique racing: “If [the cars] aren’t going 200 miles an hour, [younger fans] just aren’t interested … our youngest guy is about 35 years old, and he’s in it because his family’s in it.” Still, members like the Saettels aren’t just casual fans, they’re all-out enthusiasts.

about aara The first Antique Auto Racing Association event was held in 1973, although at that time, the group was known as the Half-Mile Dirt Track Racing Exhibition Association. Only midget cars, big cars and two-man cars of 1949 or older are eligible to participate, as AARA works to recreate dirt track racing as it was in the ’20s, ‘30s and ‘40s, even racing on the vintage oval dirt tracks that still exist today.

hitting the track Wally Saettel will race in the following AARA races this season in Ohio: July 1-2 in Van Wert, September 10-11 in Celina and September 16-17 in Lima. For more information about the AARA or race schedules, visit www.antiqueautoracing.com.

» Scholarship winners – Riverview Hospital Foundation has awarded seven Hamilton County students with the Dr. and Mrs. Malcolm Bray Medical Scholarship. Each recipient was awarded a $1000 scholarship. Winners include: Jessica Forth – Sheridan High School, Avinash Inabathula – Hamilton Southeastern High School, Kaitlyn Long – Noblesville High School, Grace Reed – Fishers High School, Lindsey Waltz – Hamilton Heights High School, David Wei Chiang – Carmel High School, Brenda Rivera Valladares – Westfield High School. » Adults fake ADHD? – Amid what some claim is a growing epidemic of ADHD diagnoses, a study finds that almost one in four adults who show up in doctors’ offices seeking treatment may be exaggerating — or even faking — their symptoms. Twenty-two percent of adults in the study who claimed they suffered from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder tried to skew test results to make their symptoms look worse, according to a new report based on the medical records of 268 patients and published in the journal The Clinical Neuropsychologist. Some actually had ADHD but embellished their reports to ensure they got diagnosed. Others didn’t have the disorder at all but were having a tough time dealing with their workloads and lives. -www.msnbc.com

How to avoid plagiarism GRAMMAR GURU By Brandie Bohney Last week, I discussed the definition of plagiarism and the importance of respecting others’ intellectual property. This week, I’d like to share a few tips for avoiding plagiarism. First, I’d like to start by saying that in any academic endeavor, the student needs to be very familiar with the style of documentation his or her instructors wish to be used. There are many different style manuals for documentation, and sometimes those manuals have within them different ways of documenting sources (in-text documentation versus endnotes versus footnotes, for example). Whatever type of writing you are doing, be certain you know which style of documentation from which style manual you should be using. Next, let’s tackle the difference between quoting and paraphrasing. Quoting is, of course, when writers directly copy the words used by their sources. Quotations are set off by quotation marks (funny how that works, eh?). Paraphrasing is the act of putting the source’s ideas into one’s own words. Paraphrases do not require quotation marks, but they do require documentation. The general rule of thumb for quoting is any time you are using three words of consequence (in other words, three or more words you would not have constructed on your own), quotation marks are necessary. Some people will use the three-words rule and

misuse it to attempt to paraphrase, changing every third word or so. Understand this: Paraphrasing is using your own words to express someone else’s thoughts. It’s not rearranging someone else’s idea every-third-word at a time. Just changing every third word and documenting the sentence(s) as a paraphrase is misuse of sources. In order to effectively paraphrase, there’s a handy little trick that works most of the time. Read the source, close the source, take a minute to think about it, and then write a few notes in your own words. Then reopen the source and be sure that you have, in fact, used your own words to express the idea. Easy peasy. Another method for avoiding plagiarism is to keep excellent notes and records of your research. If you know exactly where your information is from and which phrases, clauses, sentences and paragraphs are quotations and which are paraphrases, you’ll have a much lower chance of misusing your sources. Finally, remember that words and ideas are intellectual property. Just as it’s not acceptable to break into houses and steal flat-screen TVs, it’s not OK to use someone else’s writing and thoughts as if they were your own. Brandie Bohney is a grammar enthusiast and former English teacher. If you have a grammarrelated question, please email her at bbthegrammarguru@gmail.com.

Javier Bardem stars in ‘Biutiful.’

DVDs By Chris Lloyd While it’s not a film for everyone, “Biutiful” has rich rewards for those who appreciate sad foreign films with elliptical storylines. I admit I’m not usually a fan of these types of movies, but this moving drama from writer/ director Alejandro González Iñárritu (“Babel,” “21 Grams”) stars Javier Bardem in an Oscarnominated performance as a man caught between worlds. It’s a heartbreaking film that is a joy to watch. Bardem plays Uxbal, a conflicted man working the back alleys and sweatshops of Barcelona. He tries to find jobs and homes for illegal immigrants from Asia and Africa. Uxbal genuinely cares about these people, but he makes sure to get his cut of the action. Meanwhile, he’s faced with the certainty

The truth behind ‘Lifestyle Lifts’ COMMENTARY By Barry Eppley The development of a droopy neck and saggy jowls is loved by few...and is the bane of many women and some older men. Much can be found that promises to improve it from creams, exercises, laser and light therapies, and even the occasional clothespin approach. While surgery is the only effective option for that loose neck and jowl skin, everyone would like to have as little surgery as possible and avoid hearing that dreaded word...facelift. While the fears surrounding a facelift are largely unfounded, people would certainly like to avoid that consideration if possible. This facelift phobia has led to the emergence of the concept of the branded selling of facelift surgery. The most well-known current example is that of the Lifestyle Lift. Through their national magazine and television ads, this is a franchise approach to getting a facelift…or some version of it. Interestingly, nowhere in their advertising does the company suggest it is actual surgery. Somehow the concepts of surgery and lifestyle are incongruous. I have seen numerous patients who have visited their facilities and were surprised to learn that it was actually an operation that requires some recovery and a temporary change in their lifestyle. In reality, the Lifestyle Lift is an

operation that is decades old and is practiced by most plastic surgeons. This ‘mini-facelift’ operation has now cloned many spinoffs including the Quicklift, Swiftlift and Weekend Lift to name just a few. Often touted as being innovative and original by the advertising surgeon, the names suggest that getting a fresh, younger look is really easy...or at least is quick for the surgeon to do. Like many things that are heavily marketed, the Lifestyle Lift has its share of proponents and critics. An internet search will quickly bare that out. As an operation, however, limited types of facelifts do have a valuable role in facial rejuvenation. Not every patient needs or wants a fuller or more complete type of facelift. Facelifting is not, nor should be, an operation that is performed the same on everyone. ‘Mini-facelifts’ are best reserved for patients with earlier signs of aging, not advanced problems such as turkey necks. A catchy name does not necessarily make the procedure novel or unique. Many plastic surgeons offer similar type facelift procedures that just don’t have a branded name, but that doesn’t make them any less effective or useful. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis boardcertified plastic surgeon. Comments can be sent to info@ eppleyplasticsurgery. com

It’s never too late for ‘clean’ eating FITNESS By April Conard It is the end of May, and you are kicking yourself for the healthy eating plan you did not begin. Never fear! It‘s not too late to start, and with all this rain, it looks like it will be a while until you will be poolside anyway. Have you ever heard the term eating “clean”? Clean eating is not a diet; it’s a lifestyle. The commitment to this way of eating is full time. It’s not about denying yourself or going hungry. It is about eating with thought and planning. There is one simple rule. Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser said it best: “If it doesn’t come from the earth, and if it doesn’t have a mother, don’t eat it.” (Vegetarians, disregard last part) Not to say that all fruit, vegetables and meat are created equal. Try to go organic whenever possible. I know it can be pricey, but I believe you are worth it, don’t you? If you must pick and choose, buy organic when you consume the skin or outer layer. When grocery shopping, think outside of the box; this means shop only in the outer part of the store, where the food is not processed. The most important feature of clean eating is what it isn’t. Clean eating is not a diet you follow for a few agonizing months,

denying yourself certain foods. Have you ever wondered why fad diets worked while you were on them? It’s simple mathematics really. If you usually eat proteins, and fats and carbohydrates (as you should), and you remove one of those food groups, you’ll lose weight, but only while you’re on the plan. Once you reintroduce these banished foods … BAM! You gain weight all over again, and usually a great deal more. With all the fresh fruits and vegetables at your disposal right now, it has never been a better time to start. Support local famers by shopping at the farmers market on Saturday mornings. Make it a family affair and go to one of the “you pick” farms and learn together the importance of eating fresh and clean. Don’t be surprised at how “clean” your body feels after a few weeks of cutting out the junk! Your energy will soar, pounds will be shed, and your taste buds will learn once again how REAL food tastes!

With your choice of trekking to the Caribbean paradise for from September 28th or 29th to October 2nd. All women are invited to indulge in spas, seminars, and speakers.

Regarding the monetary contributions of this retreat Oman said “The proceeds benefit our Women’s Endowment fund, which in turn goes strictly to women’s services, programs, and equipment…over the years we’ve raised a gross of $20,000 to $30,000.” Guest speakers at the Women’s Retreat include two local women, writer Kathy McHugh of Brownsburg and family physician Dr. Amy Banter. McHugh, author of Passing on Hope, will speak of her book and its riveting stories of healing and empowering oneself. Accompanying McHugh is Banter, a physician with Riverview Hospital who will speak of prominent women’s issues including the power of food, optimization of female health, and the concepts of aging well. Prices for the retreat range, from roughly $1,700 per person to just short of $2,400, depending on each guest’s desired length of stay, room size and payment option. Final payment for the retreat has been established on the date of Saturday June, 25th. Call 536-5592 for details or to register. June 1 is the last day to participate.

When excuses don’t matter BUSINESS By David Cain Kids don’t know everything and they certainly don’t always have access to all the resources needed to make the best decision or understand the correct path. That’s why parents have such a large role. Parents are responsible for the child’s safety, security, and to help get them going on their path to being a productive member of the community. The same could be said in business. Not everyone has access to the resources they need to make the best decision or understand the correct path. Their supervisor might. That’s why the boss has such a large role, as they are ultimately responsible for the efficiency, profitability, and are accountable for other people being a productive employee of the company. Whether a child or someone you are responsible for at work, there is a place where excuses don’t matter anymore. As your child grows up, their ability to access information and make informed decisions grows, too. There is a point where excuses stop mattering. What matters

What matters are only the outcomes and how you responsibly achieve those results.

are only the outcomes and how you responsibly achieve those results. That person at work, the same applies. As your career grows and you find yourself the person in charge, excuses stop mattering. The only things that matter are the outcomes and the ethical attainment of them. At some point you have no excuse for failure. You are accountable and it doesn’t matter why a misstep occurred. You might accept excuses from others, but from you, none matter. There are only learning points along the way. If your title is parent or vice president or if you’re referred to as mom or chief executive, you know you have a great responsibility to help other people grow. Leadership doesn’t mean you can’t make mistakes; it does, however, mean you should have few excuses.

Current in Westfield The mystery shrouding Google’s development of the driverless car slipped a bit earlier this month. Google, it was reported, is quietly lobbying the state of Nevada for legislation that would make it the first state where cars could be legally operated on public roads without someone’s hand on the steering wheel. Does Google (GOOG) plan to extend its digital mastery into the automotive industry as a supplier, partner, or original equipment manufacturer? Could Google Motors become the next GM? It’s more likely than you’d think. By investigating driverless cars, Google is exploring an area that has tantalized automotive engineers for decades. Autonomous cars would reduce highway congestion, cut down on accidents, maximize fuel economy, and free up time for drivers to perform other tasks. They are widely believed to be the way of the future. Self-driving cars could be a once-in-a-generation breakthrough. Google’s automated driver system has the potential to become the operating standard for every car in the world -- the Windows of motor vehicles. Why not? Google has the capability, the ambition, and the resources. With $36 billion in cash in the bank at last count, and more piling up every day, it is hard to imagine a better investment -- both for Google and the future of personal transportation. -Fortune

Otherwise, the follicles may still be open, and self-tanner can pool in them, creating tiny dark spots. Also, rubbing DHA on sensitized skin ups the odds of irritation. And slough off old skin first. DHA reacts with the proteins in the very outer layer of your skin. Any patches of old, dead skin will absorb more self-tanner, which can lead to spots and streaks.

Putting scale and proportion in perspective COMMENTARY By Sue Faulstich To my delight, I received quite a few comments regarding a specific part of my last article. Two very important parts of any design project are scale and proportion. Whether it is the design of a pair of shoes, a powder bathroom or an entire office building, both scale and proportion are an integral part of the equation. Often thought of as being synonymous in terms of design, I treat each one differently. It is common to hear something described as having a small scale or a large scale. From furniture to fabric patterns, when thinking about the scale of any item, it is best to think about size. When designing a room, my consideration of scale starts with the size and shape of the area and continues through the size and shape of every finishing touch. With the square footage of new homes increasing rapidly, the challenge rises to present a design with the proper scale. When working with these new elevated ceiling heights, consider the heights of pieces such as tables and lamps and take care that these items, which can get lost in a large space, are properly scaled to the room in which they are placed. Do not be afraid to place a 9-foot-tall tree in a 14-foot-tall foyer. Anything less, in fact, would be out of scale.

Also on the designer’s mind is proportion. I mentioned before that proportion refers to how items in a room relate to one another. When picking things like furniture, window treatments, and accessories such as artwork, it is important that these items work visually as a team. Each team member is unique, but at the same time complements every other member. This fundamental principle can be used in every room, nook, and cranny of your home. Proper proportion will help all of the parts of a design project come together soundly. Understanding scale and proportion does take training and experience. Being able to determine what makes a room aesthetically pleasing to someone is as hard as figuring out which pair of shoes they will fall in love with on the next visit to the mall. However, you can be sure the designer of that perfect pair of slingbacks used the same design principles regarding scale and proportion that I used to complete my last project.

Cost-effective remodel of a 1970s kitchen REMODELING By Larry Greene Original kitchen: This home located in the Woodland Springs subdivision on the east side of Carmel was built in 1973. The kitchen had never been remodeled and the current owner was facing the replacement of the original 27-inch-wide range. Since most current models start at 30 inches wide, this got them thinking about a full-fledged kitchen remodel. The homeowner thought, “Let’s change some other things we don’t like while we’re at it.” Favorite features: The existing cabinets were replaced with new maple stock cabinets with a ginger stain and square raised panel full-overlay doors. The homeowner said, “One of your favorite things is the floor to ceiling cabinets. Also, we love the new location of the dishwasher. The dishwasher is now right next to the sink instead of way over in the peninsula. The refrigerator used to open into the desk and now it doesn’t. The remodel just really opened up the kitchen. Although we did not tear down any walls, we have so much more space than before, and the space is being used more efficiently.” The biggest difference: According to the homeowner, the biggest difference now is the new cabinets. “The cabinets are much more up to date. Removing the old peninsula created a more open feel. I love the pull-out drawers in the pantry. The cast iron

Before sink looks much more stylish than the original sink. This kitchen remodel has changed the main floor of our home tremendously!” Flooring changes: The new flooring also was a favorite. “I really love the hardwood floor refinishing. I didn’t like the way the hardwood floors looked before. During the remodel, we decided to keep the hardwood floors and have them refinished instead. They replaced some boards and sanded them all down before refinishing. They just look beautiful now and I love them. You cannot tell the old boards from the new”

Warning: Gardening bug extremely contagious GARDENING By Holly Lindzy (I dedicate this column in memory of my aunt, my soulmate, who touched my life like no other. I would always give her a plant for her birthday on June 8 … I miss that. So instead I grow her garden plants in my own garden.) You know, gardening is contagious. I caught it from my aunt and have since spread it to other unsuspecting persons. It started with my mom, who always liked flowers, but never knew the joy of keeping a garden. Now she gushes over billowy blue hydrangeas when we shop together at the nursery. She’s a goner. It doesn’t stop there. My sister is nuts over blanket flower, my dad takes pity on trees with mountains of mulch at their base and my daughter gasps in horror over topped trees. It’s really getting out of control. Maybe you, or someone you love, are dealing with this same situation. Often times, people suffering from the “gardening bug” display such symptoms as compulsively weeding at other people’s houses, hazardous veering onto the shoulder while gawking at magnolias and

overwhelming anxiety during the month of February. Victims of G.B. will obsessively pawn divisions off on neighbors, insist on driving past “the house with the roses” or drag you to a plant sale half way across town. Those afflicted greatly appreciate gifts of mulch on their birthday. If you are a carrier, spread the love! Divide houseplants and give them to co-workers, share daylilies with your next-door neighbors and babble nonsensically about the ever-improving selection of annuals at your favorite nursery. Your enthusiasm is bound to spread to at least one person in your circle. But beware – you may lose one if you overwhelm them. We can only hope that someday, G.B. will reach epidemic proportions. Until that time, we must continue on, weeding where we’re not supposed to, pinching back petunias at the strip mall and heckling tree-topping crews. It’s never too late to do your part. Pass it on.

» Fake tweeters are bots - As Twitter grows like wildfire, spam is becoming an increasing problem for the service, and spam purveyors are using fake or disguised accounts, as well as increasingly sophisticated computer programs called “bots,” to try to evade Twitter’s terms of service.

What is a QR code, and how do you use and create one? TECHNOLOGY By Gary Hubbard What are those strange patterned square boxes tyou’re starting to see everywhere, and what do they do? Those strange square boxes are called QR (Quick Response) codes, and they have actually been around for quite some time. They were created in 1994 by a Japanese subsidiary of Toyota as a two-dimensional barcode for tracking parts during the manufacturing process. Popular for years in various Asian countries, they are starting to gain traction in the United States primarily as a marketing tool. The primary focus of QR codes at the moment is to entice mobile users to scan them to connect to a Web address, offer promotional discounts, download an MP3 file, dial a telephone number or even launch your e-mail client with a sender address. You will start seeing them a lot more often in magazines as a way to further explain an article or to get more information on a product being advertised. Marketers like this new trend because the demographics of tech-savvy camera-phone users tend to be very desirable for most advertisers, and you can track exactly how many people scanned the QR code. In order to read QR codes, your smartphone or camera phone must have a barcode reader. All major smartphone platforms have numerous

readers, and many “feature phones” with cameras can download readers. A comprehensive list of QR code readers by platform and phone type is located at http:// goo.gl/RtpKB.

Marketers like this new trend because the demographics of tech-savvy camera-phone users tend to be very desirable for most advertisers... Once you have the reader on your mobile device, you simply open the program and point the camera at the QR code placing it within the target area displayed on your screen. Once it focuses on the QR code, it will read the instructions embedded within the random patterns and ask you if you would like to execute the instructions (go to a Web site, call a number, etc.) There are numerous uses for QR codes, especially for businesses. One of the challenges of today’s digital communication landscape is there are too many to list on a business card (phone, fax, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.) By placing a QR code on your business card with the suggestion to “Connect with me,” you can list all your contact resources on a Web page where there is plenty of room (or set up a free profile at https://about.me with all your links). QR codes can be printed on coffee cups,

T-shirts, places in the front window of your business, in your advertising, your phone book ads, your Web site or just about anywhere on or off-line that you want to engage with your customers. There are many ways to create QR codes for free (if you already use Google’s URL shortener at http://goo.gl, each link you create comes with an associated QR code if you click on Details at the end) but my favorite resource is at http://zxing.appspot.com/generator . This powerful interface allows you to create QR codes for: • Calendar events • Contact information • E-mail addresses • Geo locations • Phone numbers • SMS (text nessaging) • General text • URLs (any Web address) • Wifi network access Whether you are a consumer or a business owner, you should seriously consider getting up to speed on using and creating these really handy digital barcodes.

The king of Big Macs HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie I try to never tire my readers by repeating topics in my newspaper column. But this week I have egg on my face, in a special sauce. I recently reported to you about a city in California that had squeezed into the Guinness Book of Records for consuming the most Big Macs per capita. Now, just three weeks later, we learn that a man named Dan Gorske has consumed his 25,000th Big Mac, an eating binge that stretched over 39 years, most of that stretching being done by his pants. In all fairness, Gorske claims he has no known health issues. Which means he probably has plenty of health issues, but they’re all unknown to medical science – undiscovered syndromes and bodily malfunctions just looking for catchy names so they can finally worm their way into the newest copy of “The Journal of Digestive Diseases.” I used the word “worm” on purpose. Nevertheless, Dan asserts he is healthy due to good genetics, and because he doesn’t order a lot of extras, such as fries and sugary sodas. Is there anything more annoying than a self-righteous health nut? Dan has never been sick, he says, except to his stomach. So the bottom line is that the Big

Macs have not ruined his health, but they did stain half of his bowling shirts. Dan eats two or three Big Macs between 10 in the morning and midnight. If he wakes up in the middle of the night with a craving, he always has one in the freezer. In the past 39 years, he has only missed a few days – something about a snowstorm and a pesky colonoscopy. Dan is the author of a book called “22,477 Big Macs,” a lie the minute it was published. I downloaded it on my Kindle, and now I know really cool stuff like the average number of bites it takes Dan to eat a Big Mac (16) and the fact that he has enjoyed one at every NASCAR track, even though he usually has to hide it in his pants in order to smuggle it in. Can this story get any creepier? Dan says he can reach 50,000 Big Macs by the time he’s 90 years old as long as he stays healthy. He hopes to do a commercial for McDonald’s where he can brag about the nutritional benefits of this iconic three-decker sandwich. Would this be a little lie? Yes, but at least it’s not a whopper.

Things are getting a bit squirrely at my house HUMOR By Mike Redmond When we were kids, my brother and sister and I had a pet squirrel named “Filbert.” Well, “pet” is a bit of an overstatement. He lived in the tree behind our house and came to the back door to get the nuts we left for him. Anyway, I haven’t buddied up to Sciurus niger since Filbert, and this year is no exception. Once again, I find myself at odds with the neighborhood squirrels over a long-standing dispute over who REALLY owns the bird feeder. First, you should understand this is strictly between me and the squirrels. The birds have long since been cut out of the deal. Second, you should understand that anyone who says he has a squirrel-proof bird feeder is a lying sack of sunflower seeds. But back to the feeder. Over the years, I have bought every squirrel-proof bird feeder on the market, and over the years the squirrels have gotten fat at my expense. Out of necessity, I have even taken to “improving” the feeders. For example, I bought a feeder that had a locking door on the top of the bin and a feeder bar that would close the trough if touched by anything heavier than a chickadee. It took one day for the squirrels to figure out how to get seed without touching the bar, two

www.youarecurrent.com

to open the top. I wrapped the lid down tight with not one, not two, but three bungee cords. Two days later the squirrels were bungee jumping off the top of the garage. I bought six feet of stainless steel chain, wrapped it around the bird feeder and secured it with a combination padlock. Three hours later, I went out on the deck with a cup of tea and saw a squirrel twirling the knob with a look of intense concentration on his face and a tiny stethoscope in his ears. Hallucination or not, that’s when I decided to just give up. The squirrels weren’t too happy about it, but they haven’t lost any weight, so I don’t think they’re suffering. Which, in a way, gets me back to Filbert. Oh, he didn’t suffer. But when Dad got cute and tried to hand feed him, Filbert bit him right on the index finger. He had to get stitches and a shot. He suffered. It was anything but a positive interaction. And I think that’s why he never said no when I asked to go squirrel hunting. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker.

Riding in cars with dogs

DISPATCHES

COMMENTARY By John Mikesell It is that time of the year, and things are finally beginning to heat up. We must be ever vigilant about our pets (and kids too) and leaving them in the car when the outside temperatures are over 65 degrees. There are also many factors to allowing your dog to ride in the car with you. Consider all the canine passenger safeguards, and select the one that will best suit your dog and your circumstances. Train your dog to behave in the car like you train him to do anything: by setting him up for success, and reinforcing him for the desired calm behavior. Be on the lookout for dogs at risk of heat stroke in cars on warm days. Don’t hesitate to call animal protection authorities or the police department if you see a dog suffering fro the heat. A dog sitting on the driver’s lap can interfere with steering. A dog that gets on or under the accelerator or brake pedals, hits the gear shift, or blocks the driver’s view can cause an accident. When the driver’s attention is taken away from the road to deal with the dog’s behavior, the dog has become a safety hazard. A loose dog can become a flying missile if the car stops abruptly or is hit by another car. If the car windows break or the doors pop open in an accident, a loose dog can escape, get hit on the road, or run off and become lost. An unsecured dog can interfere with the efforts of rescue workers in an emergency. A dog with its head out the window can

The hope is that the new Thursday incentive will encourage people to adopt a cat or kitten, opening space for the influx of felines that the shelter is already seeing due to “kitten season” and the continued increase in owner-surrendered cats. “In May alone, we have taken in numerous pregnant cats, dozens of orphaned kittens and nearly 100 stray and unwanted cats,” said Executive Director Rebecca Stevens. “When we see this kind of increase in arrivals, we also see an increase in illnesses among the animals due to overcrowding. By reducing the number of cats in our care, our hope is to prevent the spread of illness and cramped quarters for the felines who remain.”

Pets of the week T-Bone is a 6 year old male black and tan Corgi mix. T-Bone is a social boy who is a bit of a comedian at times. He loves to run and play, but he also enjoys belly rubs very much. TBone is house trained and knows the commands sit and down. He is very active but also affectionate and enjoys cuddle time . He is very attached and even dependent on his brother, Brewster, and will need to be adopted together and they would be best suited in a home with children age 10 or older. T-Bone and Brewster qualify for our PAWS Program – Partnering Animals With Seniors, so anyone age 55 or older can adopt them for a reduced fee.

suffer injury to its eyes from flying debris, or worse, can have its head smashed by objects that pass too close to the car (other vehicle Mirrors, signs, branches) A loose dog can fall or jump out of an open window or back of a truck. The temperature in a parked car on a warm (not even hot) day can kill a dog. Even on cold days, the dog can become very uncomfortable if left in cold car for a long time. Even on a cloudy day, cars can become uncomfortable and way too warm for your pet, even after a short time. As a rule, cracking the window on warm sunny days is not enough, so be very careful during these warm summer days.

Coleman is a 3 year old male black and white DSH. Coleman is an outgoing boy who loves to explore and find new things and meet new people. He arrived at the shelter in early April and had a few scratches and scars and was in need of some TLC. While his scars remain, he hopes they won’t deter anyone from seeing what a great cat he would be and give him a chance at having a life as a family pet. Coleman is litter box trained and friendly with people and especially enjoys being scratched behind his ears. For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974
