WWS to seek $4.6 million
Volunteers making progress on new homes for local families Current in Westfield Construction is moving along on two homes being built for local families in need. The Westfield-based Hamilton County Habitat for Humanity is aiming to complete two homes by the end of August to help improve the lives of two local families. Construction on the homes began last month, and volunteers from the community and local churches are working hard to move the Phonix and Sanders families into their respective new homes as soon as possible. “They (the Sanders family) have a daughter who is in a wheelchair because of spina bifida,” Habitat Executive Director Nina Maccia said last month. “The apartment they live in
now is on the second floor, so we are building them a completely handicapaccessible house.” Noblesville First United Methodist Church has teamed up with Hamilton County Habitat for Humanity to help build the Phonix home. “So far, it has been exciting to see our church at work,” Pastor Dave Scifres said. “Soon they will have a house that they can call their home, and we’re having fun watching it come to fruition.” Other lots are being staked out for future projects, with local volunteers and charity as the driving forces behind the projects. To volunteer or donate for these projects and others, visit www.HFHHC.org.
Spots still available for Westfield camps By Brandon Bowman Current in Westfield Westfield Summer Camps 2010 is the cure for the summertime blues. Last year’s attendance reached 700 and Cindy Keever, director of student support programs for Westfield Washington Schools, said this summer’s numbers could easily exceed that. “We received a 93 percent satisfaction rate,” Keever said. “At 3 p.m. when kids are picked up, a lot of them don’t wanna go home.” Overall there will be 80 camps held this summer, and participants’ registrations must be completed two weeks before the camps start. Westfield Summer Camps are offering tennis camp for kids aged seven and eight, Westfield Middle School basketball and let’s
make ceramics for ages seven through nine the week of June 28. These three camps are offered in the mornings that week. Afternoon camps held the week of June 28 include how do you live on Mars camp for ages nine and up, PowerPoint I camp for ages eight through 16, another tennis camp for ages nine through 10. Registration fees range from $75 to $125. A full list of the camps offered this summer is in the Westfield Summer Camp brochure on the Westfield Washington Schools website, http:// cms.wws.k12.in.us. Camps will run until the week of August 1, and enrollment is only open to families in the Westfield Washington School district.

OUR VIEWS
It is our position that our region – and specifically our community – is about to change in a profound way. And we look forward to being there to watch it happen. This winter, on Jan. 29, the Palladium in the Center for the Performing Arts will hold its grand opening with a gala during which the venue’s artistic director, performer and American Songbook historian Michael Feinstein will be joined by Grammy Award winning trumpeter Chris Botti. The building itself is expected to be world class. The architects, builders and craftspeople involved routinely refer to the space as “once-in-a-lifetime.” And the much-ballyhooed cost of the project has included the services of the best acousticians and sound designers available in the world. And Feinstein’s performance chops have delivered him to most of the world’s top venues. Aside from our desire to support the arts in Hamilton County, we believe the commissioning of this building will be among the most important in a generation. We intend to say that we were there. Go to www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org for more details and to look for a way to be involved.
In a haze
It is our opinion that American rituals of group bonding and motivation are all too often ending up, at best, as pointless pranks or, at worst, dangerous and often criminal incidences of hazing. Sadly, our society is riddled with examples of ruined lives – from gang gauntlets and fraternity and sorority initiation rituals to athletic team locker rooms and military barracks. In an ever escalating climb of irresponsibility, over-the-line hazing becomes an excepted ritual wrongly utilized to prove some rite of passage. Claims that such behavior helps instill a “winning culture” attitude often cite the U.S. military, the most dominant military force in the world. But to assert a correlation between abuse and success is nonsensical. If anything, the brutality of hazing works against structured accomplishment. So why do we, as a nation and as participants, tolerate these transgressions? Does our desire for victory outweigh the risk? We are a society that aspires to achieve and puts winners on pedestals. Until we see that hazing inhibits success, will the line of individuals waiting to be hazed get any shorter?

From the backshop A songbook and a mission: Accomplished! Arts patrons in Hamilton County and well beyond are in for a load of amazing talent, if the recent whirlwind of a weekend of events surrounding the Center for the Performing Arts is any indication. On the heels of The Civic Theatre’s fundraising event under a massive tent at Third Avenue Southwest and City Center Drive came two nights and one afternoon of Great American Songbook fare, courtesy of Michael Feinstein and Steven Libman, respectively the center’s artistic and executive directors. The first event was a blow-away cabaret show at the Columbia Club featuring Feinstein, Grammy-winning opera sensation Sylvia McNair, recording artist Catherine Russell, concert artist and 1981 Miss America Susan Powell and vocalist Shannon Forsell along with pianists Richard Walters and Gary Walters. As phenomenal as that event was, it served as the appetizer for the following night’s Great American Songbook High School Competition at the Crystal DeHaan Center at the University of Indianapolis. Ten youth from across the Midwest – sadly, none from Hamilton County, which produced last year’s winner, Julia Bonnett of Carmel – battled it out (politely and with awesome stage presence and vocal prow-
Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg ess, of course) for the chance to perform June 16 with Feinstein at his New York City cabaret, Feinstein’s at the Regency. There were no losers playing to a packed house, but Annie Yokom, a 17-year-old sensation from the Chicago Academy for the Arts, took home top honors. She sang “What Did I Have?” by Burton Lane and Alan J. Lerner and “Bill” by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II. The final blast of energy came last Sunday at The Palladium, when the first wave of scheduled events was announced by Libman and Feinstein. (Extended coverage of the weekend’s events is elsewhere in today’s newspaper.) We simply can’t wait for Jan. 29, 2011, opening night!

COMMENTARY By Terry Anker Recently, Carolyn and I were returning from a delightful trip to the lovely beach home of dear friends, and we discovered the rarest of commodities in our all-too-busy lives – time with no particular commitment to use it. There was not a basketball game to attend. (We were in another city and completely at the mercy of transportation.) There was not a call to make. (We were instructed to put away the telephone.) So instead of running from here to there like a rodent in a modern day version of the Habi-trail, we talked. A married couple these days has too little time to talk. We looked each other in the eyes. We completed our sentences without interruption. And we connected. There was not any form of electronic prophylactic preventing or manipulating the bond … no telephone … no e-mail … no Twitter. It reminded me of what life was like when there seemed to be more hours in the day and yet were burdened with less worry. It was a good
time. I’m not hiding behind the rose-colored Foster-Grants – today is a good time, too. Being parents and adults is all that I imagined it would be and more. Yet, what have we lost in our move towards the more efficient and the less personal? Is it possible to live long distance and still live under the same roof? Studies have shown co-habitation does not define or guarantee a happy marriage. Many marrieds are unhappy, and many singles find roommate bliss. Could it be that we are substituting proximity for intimacy? They are similar to be sure – but just as assuredly, they are not the same. In our modern-day quest for intimacy, have we confused it for geography along the way? And if so, how do we find our way back? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

My plan to survive summer vacation Commentary By Danielle Wilson I just came from a family meeting with my kids and husband, and I have to say, I’m feeling much better about my chances of surviving the next 10 weeks. Yes, summer vacation is upon us, and as much as I love the freedom and flexibility that comes when school ends, I also know from experience these months can be tough to navigate. This year, I decided to be proactive and not wait until the horrors of no schedule or routine had me longing for the days of homework and brown-bag lunches. So I gathered my precious little angels and sat them down right beside my husband, who was naively thinking he could catch up on e-mail right at the kitchen table. First on the agenda: bedtimes. My younger ones had no problem with just pushing their normal bedtimes back 30 minutes, but my 11-year-old cried and moaned about not being able to stay up as late as he wanted. Mind you, this excessive whining came on the heels of a 2 a.m. night and just hours after he complained he was way too tired for soccer practice. Winner? Parents! Next up: Xbox/DS/computer time. I made the case for not wasting the beautiful days of summer camped out in front of a monitor re-enacting WWII, but again, our oldest protested. He simply could not understand how five hours of electronic play could possibly be detrimental to his psychological growth and well-being. Look, young Jedi. Here’s how it’s going to roll: Two hours for games, and another two for television, and that’s it! Go outside, for goodness sake, or read a book. Don’t mess with the masters; the Force is strong with us. On that note, I also instigated a 30-minute daily reading requirement, with or without the benefits of the library’s summer program. You’re reading something, darn it, and I don’t care if you take the free
picture frame and ice cream cone or not. Viva la literacy! Another issue I felt needed particular attention was meal time. For some unknown reason, my kids feel like they can graze all day long, and that I will gladly make lunches from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., whenever their little hearts desire. Uh, negative, ghostrider, the pattern is full. The Wilson kitchen will henceforth be open from 7-9 for breakfast and 11:30-1 for lunch. Dinner will be at the discretion of both parents. Healthy snacks are always available, but those must be requisitioned on your own. You’ll get no assistance from Chef Mom, so deal with it. Finally, we decided to instigate a weekly game night, to occur on Wednesday evenings throughout June and July. The kids felt Mondays and Fridays might interfere with weekend plans, but then nothing exciting ever happens midweek, so why not play Charades or Life? We couldn’t agree more. Bring it, short people. We have also reinstated the “I’m bored” jar this summer, a repository for the quarters fined to any individual caught muttering the words “I’m bored.” Additionally, said perpetrator will be required to perform some loathsome chore or menial task as punishment for not thinking of a more creative way to openly express their ennui. So there you have it: My plan for enduring the next 10 weeks without jumping a plane to Papeete and/or selling my children on eBay. As much as I loathe the rigmarole of the school year, I know my family functions better on some sort of schedule. Good luck to you! Peace out.

Can we get a little respect? Commentary By Ken Kingshill A commercial I’ve heard several times on the radio really bugs me. If you’ve heard it, you’ll understand. The spot promotes an outdoor sporting goods store that “sits just north of Carmel, in Sheridan.” Excuse me? That’s almost like saying Canada sits just north of Mexico. What’s a city got to do to get a little respect around here? Maybe we bring it on ourselves a little bit. After all, we are a tad schizophrenic. We can’t seem to agree on what our addresses should be. Some of us want the world to think we live in Carmel; others want to say we’re in Zionsville; still others, the aforementioned Sheridan. Who can blame the marketing agency that developed the commercial? It would seem the closest thing to Sheridan with a true identity is Carmel. That’s why the city of Westfield is doing its best to establish such an identity. The Grand Junction will go a long way to making that happen. Hopefully you’ve noticed the construction on South Union Street and the emergence of the Midland Trail. Even INDOT is listening to us with regard to potential aesthetic enhancements and upgrades to the new U.S. 31 interchanges and overpasses. All of this will help, but we need more. To
establish a sense of place, we need activity. We need to be happening. Fortunately, the Downtown Westfield Neighborhood Association, among others, is doing just that. By coordinating and participating in strong cultural activities it contributes to a successful identity for Westfield. The NUMA Festival will mark its third year this fall. The Farmer’s Market recently opened for the third time as well. The Grand Junction Derby in August will likely be even more successful than its inaugural year last summer. And after a lengthy hiatus, we’ll be celebrating the Fourth of July together again in Westfield this year. Westfield in Bloom is also helping to beautify the city. None of this was happening four years ago. These activities can never truly and successfully achieve their collective mission without you, the residents and merchants of Westfield. We need you and your friends and family to come and enjoy these events. Without you they are not sustainable. Let’s make that outdoor sporting goods store wish it really is just north of Carmel. City Councilor Ken Kingshill is a Westfield resident and Realtor. You may e-mail him at kkingshill@ westfield.in.gov.
Will I ever learn? COMMENTARY By Robin Chaddock “Some people make living a continual emergency, as if they were always on the way to a four-alarm fire. Living can be a real luxury once you take the urgency out of it.” - Hall Boyle Patience. It’s something I lack. And a recent event helped bring that home for me again. Pulling out of Kentucky Fried Chicken onto a very busy street was going to prove to be time-consuming. It was made even more time-consuming by the presence of a slow elderly man crossing the very busy street directly in the lanes into which I wanted to pull. I missed some great opportunities to pull out because I had to wait for him to make his way across the two lanes of traffic. Sigh. Finally, he made it across the lanes only to turn right in front of me to continue his slow
progress to wherever he was headed. More lost opportunities while I had to wait. More sighing. THEN, he stopped right in front of my car and bent over. Now what?! As he straightened up, I took a moment to actually look into his face, and I saw the face of a wise man, intent on living a life of dignity and with a watchful eye for impending disaster. He made his way to my driver’s side window, smiled wryly as he held up two nails that had been directly in the path of my tires. And he said, “Something like this can really ruin your day.” Honestly, will I ever learn? Robin Chaddock is a freelance author, speaker and life coach in Westfield.

HELP ON THE WAY The Westfield Fire Department expects a new fire station to get its response times within national standards
By Elizabeth Noel Current in Westfield Construction is underway on a fire station city officials agree is long overdue. A groundbreaking ceremony was held last Tuesday to symbolize the beginning of construction for Westfield’s third fire station. Station 83 is the city’s first new fire station since 1992, but Fire Chief Todd Burtron said the city has needed this station for a long time. The WFD is striving to significantly improve its response times. The department’s average response time is six minutes per call. That average is two minutes – or 50 percent – above the standard established by the National Fire Protection Association. Burtron said the under-construction Station 83 will help the WFD cut the response times to four minutes to meet this national standard. “It is absolutely necessary,” Burtron said. “This is a growing community, and we need to continue meeting the public safety needs.” Mayor Andy Cook agreed, hoping Station 83 will improve Westfield’s safety standards. “The public safety people of Westfield have a big goal: to make Westfield not just one of the fastest growing cities in Indiana, but also the safest,” he said. The 11,000-square-foot station will be the department’s largest, nearly doubling Station 82 on 151st Street. It is also expected to be the busiest of the WFD’s three stations. Based on a population assessment, Burtron and the WFD expect Station 83 to reach an additional 6,000 residents in the geographic area that the station is responsible for within the four minute response time. Station 83 will be located across from Washington Woods Elementary School on Grassy Branch Road, a location that was scientifically determined by the International Association of Firefighters to have the greatest impact on the department’s average response times. In 2007, the WFD submitted data on the type of city, industry, population and run times of Westfield. From this information, the IAFF developed a geographic information study that pinpointed the location. “This station will increase and expand our service deployment,” Burtron said. “Having a station here will diversify the response capabilities that we currently have.” But the location is also financially efficient. The land was previously owned by Westfield Washington Schools, and after learning of the city’s interest in the property, WWS sold the land to the
big addition When completed, Station 83 will be the biggest of the Westfield Fire Department’s three fire stations. At 11,000 square feet, it will nearly double Station 82, located on 151st Street. Twelve full-time firefighter positions will be created within the WFD as a result of the new station.

city for one dollar. “This unique collaboration between two government entities, the school system and the city, lead to real cost savings,” Burtron said. “We did not have to spend taxpayer dollars on the property because these two groups partnered to save money.” The projected cost of building the station is about $2 million, but Burtron said this is a great price for such a project. Prior to the recession, he said, building the same station would have cost about an additional $1 million. The city is also using the design-build process to further reduce costs. The design-build team, the Meyer Najem Corporation and
Current in Westfield
RQAW, will overlap the construction and design phases under a single contract to save time and money. Station 83 will take more than one year to build; its projected opening is late July or August of 2011. Though the WFD and the city are still a long way from reaping the benefits of this new station, Burtron reiterated the importance of last week’s groundbreaking before putting his shovel in the dirt. “It has been a very long time since we have built a new station,” he said. “This is an important day in the evolution of our city.”

» Suit fabrics for summer – Poplin suits are very smart for hot-weather wear. Tropical wools also wear well, and superlightweight wools are surprisingly cool. Go for linen for dressy summer socializing, especially when the forecast is dry. Linen and rain are not a fun combo. Linen-silk blends area also good. They wrinkle less than pure linen, but they, too, will spot from rain. If the weather looks iffy, stick with wool; it’s what they wear in summer where it always rains—Ireland. -www.gq.com » Renting cars abroad – One strategy for finding the best deal is to reserve in advance (to make sure a car will be available) and then to shop the airport rental counters for the lowest rate once you arrive. If you find a better deal than the one you booked, you can usually cancel the reservation without penalty. Before cancelling, though, make sure both companies offer comparable services – including roadside assistance. To avoid unpleasant surprises, always make sure that any rate you're quoted includes unlimited mileage as well as an estimate of all taxes, surcharges, and other fees. -www.concierge.com » Italian festival and fireworks – St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church will hold its annual Italian Festival on July 10 from 5:30 to 10 p.m. on the church grounds at 17104 Springmill Drive, Westfield.

Visiting artist offers peace through paintings By Brandie Bohney Current in Westfield James Moore isn’t just painting to make money; he’s painting to make peace. His simple, symmetrical still life paintings make a subtle but undeniable statement Moore about the importance of peace and stillness in life. “At the essence, it really is about trying to share a sense of physical being as an expression of spiritual being,” Moore said of his work. “Rather than preach about peace, I’m trying to show a sense of peace through the work.” Moore, a 63-year-old California resident, will be exhibiting his work at Garvey-Simon Art Access (27 E. Main St., Carmel) beginning today, June 15, and running through July 3. Moore works in oil on linen and primarily paints still lifes. “I’ve been painting still lifes just about my entire career,” he said. “I like to be able to control the environment that I’m painting and arrange things. I like simple things. I like things that are solid and simple like pots and jugs and solid forms like fruits and vegetables.” His paintings, which feature humble objects painted life size in muted colors, evoke a sense of peacefulness. He said that while individual responses to individual pieces may vary, the

Visiting artist James Moore said he's been painting still life photos, like the one above, all his life. The California resident will display his work at the Garvey-Simon Art Access today through July 3.
overall response to his work, as a whole, is one of calm. “The paintings are about a kind of expression of simplicity and calmness and peace,” Moore said. “I think that’s where we need to go as a people; I think we need to come together, be kinder, and work through our problems peace-
fully with kindness rather than conflict.” In addition to the exhibition throughout the month, Moore will be in attendance at the gallery this Saturday, June 19, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., and he is enthusiastic about the opportunity to speak with those in attendance to answer questions.

Soup: Not just a poor man's food COMMENTARY By Chef Michael Vlasich When most people think of soup, they think lunch – or of opening a can of Campbell’s soup and plopping it on the burner while cooking a grilled cheese sandwich. My first thought is of my grandfather, who ate soup with every meal. It had to be scalding hot – hot enough to blister your tongue. I kid you not; every meal except breakfast started with at least a cup of soup, sometimes turning into a bowl or two. The older I get, the more I cherish this often-overlooked, under-appreciated food. Generally, I have at least one cup a day at work. Soup is considered as old as the history of cooking itself. It traces back to 6,000 BC, when the main ingredient was hippopotamus. It eventually changed to beef juices covering bread and was named “sop” in English, which many believe is the origin of the word “soup.” Before recorded history, when food was scarce, the practice of dumping bones, food scraps and whatever edible things you had on hand into a pot with boiling water was common. It was accessible to poor and rich alike and was easy to digest, no matter the living conditions or state of health. Through the years, countries have developed their own staple soups. The Russians have borscht; Italians have minestrone and pasta e fagioli; the Germans have lentil with sausage; the Japanese have miso; the Chinese have won ton and sweet and sour, and so on. Did you know Frank Sinatra had chicken and rice soup in his dressing room before every performance? (He said it relaxed him and settled his tummy.) Andy Warhol painted Campbell’s soup cans and ate soup for 20 years straight prior to his demise. In America, women are twice as likely to eat soup for lunch, and 99 percent of all American homes purchase soup to eat at home. More than 10 billion bowls of

soup are served every year in this country. That is what we call a serious industry. Soup has even influenced fashion. In the 1700s, soup spoons were invented to eat brothtype soups. Because of this, the fashion changed, allowing the big ruffled neck and sleeves to become fashionable (They had been impossible previously, as they would always be mussed by the soup.) Included is a Navy bean soup recipe I make for one of our ex-presidents when ever he is in town. It is a favorite of his since the late 1980s, when we first met. Chef Michael R.

Real Testimonies Patients...Real Testimonies Real I have struggled with foot pain for many years, I have had treatment and surgery from several very experienced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause lifestyle changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shopping with friends. I had accepted with sadness the reality that those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonderful results in less than a week after my treatment. It has now been several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, accomplished weight loss and outdoor activities once again. I encourage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back, too!

DISPATCHES » Community names VPs of medical affairs – Community Health Network announced the appointments of three physicians to the newly-created leadership roles of vice president of medical affairs for Community’s Indianapolis hospitals. Don Ziperman, M.D., has been named vice president of medical affairs for Community Hospital East. Bob Lindeman, M.D., holds the same position at Community North and Randy Lee, M.D., is at Community South. » Get sunscreen in your makeup – Simplify your routine by getting sun protection and makeup coverage with one product. Use a brush-on tinted mineral sunscreen powder such as BareMinerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen ($28; bareescentuals.com). It's perfect for quick touchups before dashing out to lunch or running errands midday. Besides protecting your skin, it helps even out skin tone, and the minerals naturally diffuse light, so your complexion looks smoother and more luminous.
» Open house – Methodist Sports Medicine/The Orthopedic Specialists will be hosting an open house on Wednesday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. to celebrate the opening of its newly expanded 29,000-square-foot orthopedic practice, located on the first floor of its current Carmel location at 201 Pennsylvania Parkway. » Improve skin without surgery – To improve skin's firmness and obscure wrinkles, nothing outside of a doctor's office is more effective than a pentapeptide cream, says cosmetic-surgery consultant Wendy Lewis. One of her favorites is even available at your local drugstore: "Olay's Regenerist line is superb. You don't need to pay more for another product."Grab some gaba — before blowing your budget on botox. This muscle-relaxing ingredient immediately (but temporarily) relaxes fine lines, at a fraction of the cost of one Botox treatment (about $100 per jar of gaba cream, versus up to more than $1,000 per Botox treatment). -lifestyle.msn.com

High cholesterol? Check your thyroid
COMMENTARY By Dr. Angela LsSalle Thyroid hormone is necessary for the function of every cell in the body, including the liver’s ability to control cholesterol levels. Elevations in cholesterol, especially low density lipoproteins (LDL), or the “bad” cholesterol, can occur when thyroid hormones are low. This can result in an increase in vascular disease and heart attacks. Thyroid hormone is necessary for the processing of LDL as well as managing the overall rate of metabolism. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, as many as half of the 27 million Americans with thyroid disorders are undiagnosed. Since elevation of cholesterol happens early in the process of hypothyroidism, it is a good idea that anyone with an elevation of cholesterol be screened for an under active thyroid. Cholesterol levels may be 30 to 50 percent higher and improve when the thyroid levels are corrected with medication. A blood test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, or TSH, can be done to determine whether or not thyroid levels are at optimal range. TSH levels greater than three with an el-

evation of cholesterol may indicate the need for low-dose thyroid medication. Checking for thyroid antibodies, immune system proteins that attack the thyroid gland, may also be important to decide if treatment is necessary. Approximately 102 million Americans have total cholesterol levels greater than the recommended 200mg/dl cutoff. According to the National Cholesterol Education Program, hypothyroidism is one of the most common secondary causes of high cholesterol. Though genetics play a major role in the development of cholesterol issues, managing diet and optimizing thyroid function is essential. Ultimately, treatment with cholesterol lowering medications may still be necessary to reduce cardiovascular risks, but a patient may be able to get by with lower doses resulting in a reduction in costs and side effects.

How much protein do you need to build lean muscle? COMMENTARY By Laura Marenco When people ask about the secret to a healthy, toned physique, I tell them it’s simply a mix of hard work, a healthy eating regimen and good supplementation. The hard work usually is obvious, but a healthy eating regimen and diet is where there can be confusion. A critical staple of a healthy diet is protein, and that’s an area in which many people sometimes fall short. A diet for an active person should include one gram of protein each day per pound of their ideal body weight. For example, if you are a 130-pound female, your daily need would be 130 grams. Focus on different protein sources, such as lean cuts of meat (chicken breast, white fish, salmon, tuna and flank steak), Greek yogurt, quinoa, almonds and almond butters. Once you realize all the sources of protein in your diet, it’s not that difficult to achieve optimum levels. Also breaking intake into five to six smaller meals about three hours apart throughout the day also can help keep your metabolism constant throughout the day. You might ask yourself, “If I am constantly on the go, how am I supposed to eat all this protein?” That’s where a whey protein supplement can help. You can buy it in liquid or pow-
der form, which comes in handy when you are not able to get your protein intake from regular food. Just one scoop of this vital supplement mixed with water will give you about 25 grams of protein. So how can a whey protein supplement help you with my weight loss goals or overall health? As a meal replacement: It’s so convenient, there’s no excuse not to make a quick shake when you are tempted to eat a less-healthy snack. Gain and preserve lean muscle: Getting a “toned body” requires increasing muscle (or at least maintaining it) while decreasing bodyfat levels. Research also indicates that people who consume whey protein are better able to maintain lean tissue, even during periods of inactivity. Post workout recovery: Whey protein is quickly digested, and, right after you work out, encourages recovery and ensures amino acids are available to build lean muscle.

Ease into morning exercise Your initial goal should be to wake up a mere 10 to 15 minutes earlier. Just roll out of bed and onto the floor for a few morningfriendly yoga poses or a quick set of pushups, sit-ups, and lunges. You don't even have to change out of your pajamas. At this point, what you do isn't as critical as getting into the habit of doing something – anything – every morning. In other words, for the first few days, simply concentrate on making those 10 to 15 minutes of activity happen, any way you can. Then gradually get up 5 minutes earlier until you're exercising for at least 30 minutes each morning. –www.prevention.com
Improve your mood with a walk We all know someone who says they exercise for their mental health, and guess what? Research proves they’re right! It turns out that working out may be as effective at relieving mild to moderate depression as the antidepressant Zoloft, because it stimulates the release of the feel-good chemical dopamine in your brain, according to a study from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Just 30 minutes of walking a day can improve your mood. -health.yahoo.net

It’s not about you COMMENTARY By David Cain Have you ever had a conversation and found that the person you are talking to just restates your discussion in the context of them? You are discussing something, and they are likening it to something in their life. It happens in almost every conversation in some form. People make sense of things by putting those thoughts into the context of their own lives, making those thoughts or ideas familiar to them and therefore more easily understood. Listen to the next conversation you have. Listen for how many times you say “I.” Listen to how often you change the context of what they are saying to restate it to a first person story from your own world. Listen for how hard it is for you to have conversations in the context of someone else, emphasizing their problems and their agenda. Research says the average person has 60,000 to 90,000 thoughts each day. And more than 90 percent of those thoughts are about themselves. We continually process day-to-day activities, thoughts, ideas and any stimuli in the
context of ourselves. We continually ask, “What does this mean to me?” That’s not to say we don’t care about other people: they might make up the other 10 percent. Effective communication must be in the context of the audience. You have to put yourself in their world and in your conversation answer the questions, “What does this mean to them?” or “Why do they care?” If you don’t address their agenda, which they often won’t reveal, you will struggle to influence people. Influential communication means you understand the problems and pains of your audience. It means you can put yourself in their shoes. If 90 percent of their time is spent thinking about themselves, spending time talking about yourself and your agenda isn’t very effective. David Cain works at MediaSauce, a digital media and online marketing company in Carmel. David welcomes your questions or comments at David.Cain@MediaSauce.com.
If you don’t address their agenda, which they often won’t reveal, you will struggle to influence people.

Ice cream is the perfect summer treat, unless you’re trying to stay healthy. Frozen yogurt is a comparable alternative, and Yogen Berry, a new frozen yogurt shop that opened April 1 at Merchants’ Square on 116th Street, is the place for it. Yogen Berry is the only frozen yogurt place in the community that is not franchised. It is locally owned and operated by Jackie Kim and carries nonfat frozen yogurt, fresh berries, passion fruit and smoothies. The owner ended a contract with TCBY and started her own place with the help of her regular customers who have assisted Kim with finding suppliers, decorating and creating the logo for the shop. Because she owns the shop, Kim has future plans to carry coffee and sell bakery items along with frozen yogurt to appeal to a wider audience. Yogen Berry is all about the comfort, with sofas and coffee tables inside the store. It’s like a mix of a coffee shop and ice cream place with bright colors to draw customers in.

The 2002 of the Future: the E30 3 Series COMMENTARY By Shawn Miller This will be the first in a series of bi-weekly columns on the collector car hobby and, more specifically, what I call “future classics.”Used cars that one can buy now can become collector cars in the future. BMW’s 3 Series contains some of these future collectibles. The 3 Series was considered the entry-level BMW, but many believe it is the best car BMW makes. The E30 BMW, produced from 1982 to 1990, is widely considered the best all around 3 Series ever produced and it is quickly becoming to collectors today what the 2002 is to collectors of earlier cars. The E30 spawned the Legendary M3, an instant classic that still holds a big chunk of its original value some 25 years later. Four body styles were produced, a four-door sedan, a two-door coupe, a five-door wagon (marketed as the “touring”), and a two-door convertible. A Baur Cabrio was also available. A variety of 4 and 6 cylinder engines were employed over the run of the E30 all of which are solidly reliable and good for 200,000 miles or more if properly maintained. Parts are readily available, not expensive, and the cars are easily maintained by the hobbyist mechanic. Prices vary widely from entry level 318i’s in the under-$2,000 range to low mileage and

show ready M3’s in the mid-$20,000 range. A nice 325i Convertible is typically in the $3,000$5,000 range today. I believe these cars should steadily increase in value over the next decade and beyond. Shawn Miller is a lifelong car collector and president of SignificantCars.com, a successful collector car brokerage with a showroom at 2225 E 54th St, just west of Keystone.

Enuf is enuf?
COMMENTARY By Brandie Bohney I’m going to give you a word, and I want you to come up with the first five things that come to your mind associated with that word. Ready? Protestors. So what were your five things? Pickets? Angry mobs? Health care reform? Spelling bees? What’s that? Spelling bees weren’t on your list? Really? Maybe they should be. The Scripps National Spelling Bee, held a couple weeks ago, had an unusual crowd of protestors. What would protestors at a spelling bee protest? Spelling, of course. There are a few small groups of activists whose aim is to change the way the English language spells things so that spellings make more sense and are more logical to learners of the language. As noted on the Web site of the Spelling Society, a British group aimed at simplifying English spelling, “Numerous alternative ways of spelling English have been devised over the years. They run anywhere from respelling a few words to a 100 percent phonemic dictionary key type spelling. Others fall somewhere between the two positions.” The Spelling Society doesn’t actually endorse any particular spelling simplification method; it merely hopes to open a dialogue. I thought I would weigh in on this little debate. My opinion? Leave English spelling
alone. Yeah, it’s complicated. Yeah, it’s hard to learn. But it’s beautiful. English is a language comprised of many pieces of other languages, and the spellings of our words often reflect those roots. It’s a family tree, of sorts. Granted, it’s a messy, complex family tree, but it’s a lovely one. Besides that, as the Spelling Society notes, coming up with a plan that simplifies the language for new speakers in a way that doesn’t adversely affect an enormous population of current English speakers would be crazily complicated. And how would the decisions be made as to what and how to change? Any change of the spellings would detract from the vast history and heritage of English. I like to think of the English language as a reflection of the United States: diverse, rich in history, interesting, and sometimes hard to understand. I wouldn’t want to take any of those things from my language, so I’ll deal with difficult spellings and words that look like they should rhyme, but don’t (comb, tomb, bomb), and words that don’t look like they should rhyme, but do (they, say, weigh).

Teaching teens the value of self worth
COMMENTARY By Becky Kapsalis Recently, I have had the opportunity to present this survey to teenagers. The surprise result is that out of the 26 kids I spoke with, none of them had ever been asked to identify with any of these statements. So often, we assume our kids are selfmotivated to accomplish great things, yet we seldom ask them what they believe. The purpose of the exercise below is to get our kids to commit to what they believe and then follow through as their life skills develop them into adulthood. Revisit the areas in which they do not agree at a later time post-discussion. The 10 most important two letter words: “If it is to be, it is up to me!” (Place an “X” after all the following statements you agree with.) I am the most valuable person in the world to me. Unless I am an identical twin, there is nobody in the world exactly like me. I am the only one who can make a difference in my life.

Cats age 1 and older are $45 to adopt, but $80 if you decide to adopt a pair. If you’ve been waiting to adopt a cat, June is the month! » Sensitive kitties -- if your cat bites your hand while you're petting him, you've missed more than a couple of messages from him asking you to stop. The key one: a tail twitch that becomes more agitated, and finally escalates into a noticeable thump or thrash. For a highly reactive cat, restrict your caresses to behind the ears, under the chin or the base of the tail. Pet him in the safe areas on his body only, watching for the first sign of a tail twitch. -www.veterinarypartner.com

Five things to do when your dog chases kids COMMENTARY By John Mikesell Dogs and kids can be the best of playmates. Sometimes, they develop this relationship all on their own, and sometimes they need some outside assistance to become fast friends. It’s not uncommon for the basic dog-kid foundation to be solid, with just a few rough edges that need smoothing. 1. Supervise: Dog trainers say it all the time: Never leave small children alone with even the most trustworthy dog .If you’re present when play starts to escalate out of control, step in and calm things down. Without your intervention, your dog gets reinforced for its inappropriate behavior. 2. Make rules: Of course children need to be able to run around with out worrying about a canine ambush. Set some house rules that are designed to minimize chase and nip games. If your dog loves kids, it’s fine to allow your small children and their friends to hang out with the dog (under direct supervision, of course); your older children and their friends can hang out with the dog with less supervision. 3. Train your dog: The better trained your dog is, the easier it is for you to calmly and quickly intervene. A gentle “come” or “down” cue for a dog under good stimulus control is all it takes to abort the chaseand-nip game. Be sure to deliver high-value reinforcement when your wonderful dog responds immediately to your cue.
4. Teach your children well: The best way to train your children to interact appropriately with your dog is to include them in your dog’s training program. You can teach even very young children how to elicit polite sit from your dog by raising their hands to their chest – if you’ve taught your dog this body-language signal to sit. 5. Read the right the stuff: Trainer/author mother Colleen Pelar has written two excellent books on dog-kid relationships. Her first, “Living with Kids and Dogs Without Losing Your Mind,” is loaded with excellent advice for parents. Her second, “Kids and Dogs; A Professional’s Guide to Helping Families,” is written for those dog training professionals who don’t have children of their own.

PETS OF THE WEEK Tonka is a 3-year-old male white American bulldog mix. Tonka is a highly social and outgoing boy who loves toys – sometimes a little too much. He will need an experienced handler who will work with him to teach him how to share and protect his toys or food. Resource guarding is a correctable behavior, but until Tonka can overcome this tendency, he needs to be in a home without children. He is a smart guy and knows the commands “sit” and “down,” and he is willing to learn more. He is neutered and is more than ready to move into his forever home. Fiddler is a 2-year-old male black DSH. Fiddler hails from the Fishers area, as he was found there by a kind animal lover. He is neutered and has the loveliest green eyes. This highly evolved male is clearly in touch with his feminine side; he is very affectionate and enjoys cuddling. He checked into the shelter Dec. 15 and has been very patiently waiting for someone to discover his charms. He knows that the calicos and the ginger cats get the most attention, but take it from us, Fiddler is worth his weight in cuddles! For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974 or go to www.hamiltonhumane.com.

How to protect yourself from ‘clickjacking’
DISPATCHES » Guitar Hero guitar redesign – “Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock” brings with it more than just 90 new tracks and some additional game modes; it'll include the biggest controller redesign since the original title in the franchise. While new Guitar Hero games will continue to be backward compatible with older guitars—all of the buttons remain unchanged— the new wireless controllers have consolidated all of the electronics into the neck and fretboard, leaving the body free of any responsibilities beyond aesthetics. A great gift for the young-at-heart dad on Father’s Day. -www.gizmodo.com » Faster 3DS – It seems that several developers have let the cat out of the bag that the upcoming Nintendo 3DS will feature processing speeds that are on par with the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles, where both far exceed the Nintendo Wii. Rumors abound that the Nintendo 3DS will sport an NVIDIA Tegra chip, but IGN's developer sources claim that those are false. Still, nothing official has been released from Nintendo just yet, but if the 3DS is anything that the developers claim it to be, we could be looking at a real visual treat in the near future from the masters of handheld consoles. -www.ubergizmo.com
COMMENTARY By Gary Hubbard Clickjacking is a malicious Web coding technique that presents visitors with buttons or items to click that actually do something different than what is being presented. There is literally an invisible layer of code that determines what will actually happen when you click on the visible buttons, generally represented as common “submit,” “click here” or even “cancel” buttons. Essentially, a clickjacking page tricks a user into performing undesired actions by clicking on a concealed link. There are two technical ways for malicious sites to trick you via a clickjacking exploit. JavaScript and Flash are Web-coding systems that are very common across the Internet, and both can be exploited to trick folks into clicking on something that will do something entirely different. Clickjacking is not an operating-system-specific exploit; it is a browser-based attack, so it impacts Windows, Mac and Linux users the same. JavaScript is used by many Web sites for legitimate purposes, so disabling it in your browser will bypass clickjacking attempts, though this isn’t very practical if you want the functionality many Web sites offer. Having a tool that allows you to decide which sites can run JavaScript and which ones can’t is the best combination of protection and functionality at the moment. The best tool for protecting yourself from rogue scripts is called NoScript (http://noscript.net/getit); it is a free add-in for
Mozilla’s Firefox browser. NoScript is a tool that basically stops all scripts from running until you say it’s OK to run them, so in the early stages of installing this tool, you will have to approve the running of scripts on every Web site you visit in order to make full use of each site. If you visit a site you are not sure about, you can tell NoScript to temporarily allow scripts to run, which means that the next time you visit this particular site, the scripts will still be blocked. The other exploit involving clickjacking has to do with Adobe’s Flash Player software, which is used to deliver animation and video on millions of sites. It’s possible for a malware author to create a Flash game that prompts you to click on items as they appear on the screen, while in the background you are authorizing the remote system to access your Webcam and microphone! There are two ways to avoid being victimized by this exploit. The first is to make sure you have the latest version of Adobe’s Flash Player by going directly to Adobe’s site and manually downloading it: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer . The second is to make sure that you tell the Flash Player to always deny access to your Webcam and microphone by any of the Web sites that you visit. This can be set up by going to the online Global Privacy Settings panel located here: http://bit.ly/dsQsBp.

Connecting the outside with the inside COMMENTARY By Larry Greene This project combined a major custom kitchen remodel with a complete renovation of the exterior patio. The goal was to connect the inside to the outside. NEW DECKING: The homeowner decided to completely remove the existing deck and replace it with a new enlarged deck with access through patio doors right off the new kitchen. This phase of the project started with the removal of the existing deck boards and railing. New 5/4” x 6” IPE hardwood decking was then installed using hidden fasteners to preserve the wood grain. A new rough-sawn cedar top rail and bottom rail were then connected to the new 4x4 cedar deck posts and finished off with new powder coated aluminum balusters. PERGOLA: A new rough-sawn cedar pergola was installed over the new gas grill to provide some shade from the sun. The new pergola, approximately 15’ x 4’, was installed and required new foundation piers for support. FIRE PIT & PLANTER BOXES: The new fire pit required a new foundation to be dug to support the new structure. The new foundation included installing concrete block with special fire rock and a 4” slab in the fire pit location. A new gas line was
also run to the new fire pit. The new flower boxes were installed with open bottoms to be open for drainage. Finally, the concrete block was covered with new Adirondack architectural stone veneer flats and corner pieces. KITCHEN EXPANSION: The design phase for the kitchen resulted in the wall between the kitchen and dining room being completely removed. This allowed a newly expanded kitchen. All perimeter cabinets were new custom cabinets in Heartwood with a Wheaton standard sheen stain. The new island cabinets are all
full overlay custom cabinets with medium blue stain color in a standard sheen. Some of the highlights of the kitchen include a new copper farm sink, custom range hood and matching cabinet panels installed on the new Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator.

Mother Nature makes a wonderful roommate Commentary By Vicky Earley There comes a time in every interior decorating aficionado’s life when he or she runs out of space to decorate. What happens when the “raison de decorate” evaporates? Go outside! Exterior decorating is more than simply lighting the tiki torches. It is a clean decorating slate that welcomes the unexpected. When you and Mother Nature decide to room together, your outdoor room can be as major as an outdoor kitchen complete with running water and a wood-burning oven or as simple as a tiny space in a yard that offers privacy and serves as your calming retreat. Find a spot in your yard that could provide privacy or a view – whatever most appeals to you. To give it the privacy of a “room,” plan some sort of some structure that will serve as your “walls.” This type of wall can be created out of shrubs, a fence or even trellis in planters with a fast-growing vine. All we are looking for is the illusion of privacy, not four solid walls and a ceiling. Floors in your outdoor room can consist of anything from gravel to brick to concrete. There are some great outdoor rugs on the market that will provide the foundation of your exterior
decorating plan! The ceiling part is easy: Just plan on blue sky and a few clouds. If you happen to have an arbor overhead, try a candle chandelier! Or you can simply use an old electrical chandelier with the wiring removed and use the candles in place of the bulbs. The purpose of the space will dictate furnishings. If it is for dining and entertaining, a table will be the focal point. It can be as simple as a patio table dressed to the floor in a tablecloth made of outdoor fabric, or as elaborate as a French waxed concrete table on pedestals that I am using in an outdoor dining room project. Perhaps your outdoor room is simply your getaway space. Find the most comfortable outdoor chair you possibly can and pair it up with
an ottoman. If you add a side table to this, you will have created your own oasis for reading, napping or just hiding from the world. Once your outdoor room has been furnished, the best part is the accessorizing. You can treat this space like any interior room, providing you make allowances for sun and weather. Pillows and cushions really should be made for exterior use or they will deteriorate before your eyes. If wind is a concern, try adding ties to your decorative pillows and securing them to your chairs and benches. Although there are outdoor lamps available, candles provide the ambiance appropriate to an outdoor room. Strings of white lights can add a festive feel and provide nighttime illumination. Stoneware dishes filled with colorful rocks, potted plants and iron sculptures are all up for the task of decorating your outdoor room. The beauty of exterior decorating is that it is spontaneous and you are not bound by four walls and a door! Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in downtown Carmel. If you have an interior design question, please contact artichokedesigns@aol.com.

Sometimes I just like to watch the fireflies COMMENTARY By Mike Redmond I’ve just come in from the back porch, where I spent a very productive half-hour watching the fireflies. And people think I don’t use my time wisely. Actually, I think there is a great deal to be said for sitting on the porch, doing nothing the rest of the world might deem important. For starters, it’s a good way to digest the strawberry shortcake you shouldn’t have eaten but couldn’t resist because the strawberries are so good and the season is so short. Better than that, though, is the practice of using your brain for nothing more than trying to guess where the next lightning bug will flash. If your brain is anything like mine, it runs on the very edge of being overloaded, every single waking hour. A few minutes of this diversion might mean the difference between getting up and going to work the next morning, or waking up wearing one of those jackets with the sleeves that buckle in the back. Fireflies are extraordinary little creatures. For one thing, they’ve pretty much got the “bug
with a butt that lights up” thing all to themselves. If everything that flew around the back yard did that, they wouldn’t be a big deal at all. And frankly, it would be kind of annoying. Fireflies also hold a special place in our collective memory. Is there anyone among us who didn’t once upon a kidhood venture out in the yard on a warm June night to catch lightning bugs? The very mention of it conjures up thoughts of me and my siblings and a dozen or so of our cousins, running around Grandma and Grandpa’s yard with peanut butter jars, trying to catch enough bugs to make a lantern. We always punched holes in the lids of the peanut butter jars so the bugs could breathe. And we always made sure to put a stick in there for them to perch on, and some grass for them to eat. We didn’t know for sure that lightning bugs ate grass. We were guessing. (I just looked it up. According to a Web site I found, some fireflies eat pollen; some eat other insects; some eat flowers; and some don’t eat anything at all. No mention of grass.) Of course, we never got the requisite number of bugs to make a proper lantern. Just about the
time you’d get on a roll some adult would come to the back door and tell you to come in for a bath and bedtime. Who cared? The point was to be a child on a soft summer evening, in that special time between the setting of the sun and the appearance of the stars, running noisily around the yard with the people you liked most in the world. It was to be free of the encumbrances of school and homework, chores and trombone practice. It was to be a kid, in the fullest and happiest sense of the word. I see the lives kids have today – so busy, so complex compared to my kidhood – and I wonder if they ever get that chance. I hope they do. I see the grownups with the overloaded brains and I hope they do, too. And I hope someone passes along that stuff about the firefly diet. Remember: No grass.

Dogs in Florida have it pretty rough COMMENTARY By Dick Wolfsie In my role as a TV reporter, I often receive inquiries from people requesting that I do a segment about their product or service. I am always on the lookout for stories that will engage the viewer and create, what we call in the business, water cooler conversation. You can imagine my delight when I found this request in my e-mail inbox the other day: “Dear Mr. Wolfsie: A recent survey conducted by Flexmar Pharmaceuticals polled people with arthritic dogs to determine if certain home features are prevalent where these dogs live. Are you interested in knowing the results?” I was. The study was done in Fort Myers, Fla., the unofficial international center for arthritis complaints, where Motrin and Aleve have replaced after-dinner mints at Cracker Barrel and most people stay married for 50-plus years, mostly because they can’t get their wedding rings off. But who knew that Fort Myers was also the canine capital of cartilaginous calamity and that from the tiniest poodle to the heftiest Saint Bernard, our furry friends don’t really crave TBones and tummy rubs, but instead yearn for a simple time-tested ingredient to stimulate joint fluid lubrication. Sorry, I know I’m taking the
romance out of “sit” and “roll over.” The company claims the supplement is also effective with canine gout and fibromyalgia, two maladies I was not aware a dog could get. About the last thing I want is my beagle complaining about his aching big toe. And sorry, you just can’t tune a guitar to, “My dog has stiff joints.” Instead of obsessing about high-tech kitchens, walk-in closets and home theatres, Flexmar believes newlyweds should focus on the startling statistics they’ve provided, in order to avoid poor real estate choices. The fate of your 16-year-old cocker spaniel is at stake. Go to any home with an arthritic dog and this is the scary stuff you will find inside ... • 43.8 percent have tall furniture • 68.3 percent have tile floors • 63.6 percent have stairs • 54.2 percent have backyard patios with cement flooring • 36.7 percent have no backyard I was dumbstruck by these numbers, even more incredulous than when I read in USA Today that 41.9 percent of all sandwich mavens prefer mayonnaise and only 16.4 percent opt for mustard. Let’s face it, only the totally self-absorbed would buy a set of kitchen stools so high that their aging Schnauzer can’t belly up to the bar.
And why isn’t there a law requiring a plush carpet in kitchens? Don’t they have adoption screening at Humane Societies? I don’t want the government intruding in our private lives any more than you do, but I think laws mandating pet elevators in all newly built homes is why we elect a Congress in the first place. By the way, who performed this bizarre doorto-door survey? Probably some federal agents from Arizona who were a little uncomfortable asking folks if they had their immigration papers, so they decided there was less of a chance of violence if they inquired about their cement patios. I’m not insensitive to the pain that older dogs must endure. My beagle, Barney, and I hobbled around together for the last few years of his life. The dog was a always little whiny about all his infirmities. He demanded extra petting and Pupperoni because he claimed his rheumatism kept him up at night, which was his excuse for snoozing all day. I didn’t believe a word of it, but I didn’t argue with him. Let sleeping dogs lie.

A wooden response to real faith COMMENTARY By Bob Walters In the small-city, American innocence of my youth in the 1960s, it seemed everybody went to church. To my recollection, nobody talked much about Jesus Christ, but “Where do you go to church?” was a socially acceptable, non-invasive inquiry. God was at church, everyone went to church, everyone understood God was God, and God was good. And in school, I learned that in 1776 our nation declared its independence in no small part because people “are endowed by their Creator (capital C) with certain unalienable Rights.” It made historical sense to recite daily the Pledge of Allegiance, facing the American flag as “one nation under God” (no comma). How surprised I was to learn years later that the Pledge was relatively new (1892, Francis Bellamy), and “under God” was really new (1954, President Dwight Eisenhower). “In God We Trust” on our paper money first appeared in 1957, having been adopted officially as our national motto in July 1956. Given that era’s bristling Cold War with the Soviet Union, the motto was a “purpose pitch” promoting American values like God and freedom. Some dismissed it as mere propaganda against godless Communism, but so what? Communism was a horrible idea, horribly applied, with horrible effect. Communism chokes
individual freedom, creativity, wealth ... and God. Anyway, even today 90 percent of Americans like the motto. So why is it that so many of us are willing, happy, even thankful, to Trust in God, while so many also blanch at any public confession of the miraculous, freeing character of redemption through the saving power of Jesus Christ? These thoughts cross my mind when a great American like John Wooden dies. In his death, our culture reduces John Wooden’s enormous, demonstrated, lifelong, prosperous, humble faith in Jesus Christ to sports, championships and coaching. Mercy gracious sakes. It’s hypocrisy that all this reporting is done with an understood wink of the mass media’s eye. Everyone knows Wooden was a devout believer in Christ, and that every corner of his life witnessed to his Christian faith. Wooden’s is what an abundant, American life in Christ is supposed to look like. If truly “In God We Trust,” why is “Christ” so hard for so many Americans to say?
So what’s the best way to make a sandwich? Take a huge serving of our family’s exclusive recipe for corned beef and pile it high on thick, fresh-baked bread that’s a meal in itself. That’s how Louis Shapiro did it back in 1905. And that’s how we still do it today!
