OUR VIEWS

It is our position that those crossing the Monon, both pedestrians and motorists need to understand the laws in Hamilton County. On the Monon, pedestrians are expected to yield to motorists, not the other way around. The confusion regarding this fact continues to make the trail more dangerous for all involved. We find, all too often, that either a motorist will stop and incorrectly allow someone to cross the Monon or cyclists or rollerbladers will proceed without waiting for traffic. Whether a motorist or pedestrian, it’s all too dangerous to navigate without a uniform standard. Even with stop signs on many trail intersections, cyclists dart across the roads without looking, often causing drivers to slow down or make an abrupt and dangerous stop – increasing the risk of causing an accident with another driver. We understand the human factor in motorists wanting to be nice and stopping to let someone advance, but officials argue traffic will flow more smoothly and safely if all follow the same standard. We’re not encouraging drivers to speed through the intersections, but to slow down just enough to be able to stop if absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if everyone follows the rules, all will be secure and efficient.

School zones rule

It is our position that school is back in session so drivers should be mindful of the safety of our children by following school zone-related rules of the road. The wheels on the bus are turning once again, bringing an end to summer’s much-enjoyed lightening of rush hour traffic. Sure, it’s an inconvenience. However, the lives of our children are literally at stake. The start of school means more children on sidewalks, driveways and in crosswalks. Drivers should always yield to a child because many children don’t fully understand the dangers of traffic - think “Kids Dart.“ Flashing yellow lights in school zones serve as a reminder for drivers to slow down. Whether we like it or not, school buses make frequent stops and are required by law to adhere to lower speed limits. School buses also are required to come to a complete stop at all railroad crossings. So when you see flashing red lights on a school bus and the stop arm is extended, please stop. Violators could be fined, face jail time or, even worse, hit a child. Procedures for safe student drop-offs and pick-ups should also be followed in school parking lots. This school year, please keep our kids safe.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Getting warm and Fuzzy about golf event Trust us, this will be good for our city. More than 10,000 people are expected to descend on The Bridgewater Club in Westfield for three days beginning Friday for the acclaimed golf event, The Wolf Challenge. Through the past 14 years, the event, conceived of by professional golfer Fuzzy Zoeller, has raised approximately $2 million in support of Fuzzy’s Charities for Kids. The Bridgewater, whose course was designed by the legendary Pete Dye, is a no-brainer for this event, and it plays right into Mayor Andy Cook’s desire for our city to play host to championship-style sporting events. This year’s iteration of the event will showcase Zoeller and world-renowned golfers Ben Crenshaw, Craig Stadler and Curtis Strange; combined, they have 69 PGA Tour victories. Zoeller, Stadler and Crenshaw have won the Masters, and Strange has won the U.S. Open. This year’s event will include participant play on Friday and Saturday and the Wolf Challenge on Sunday. Get your tickets now, as they are expected to go quickly. General admission tickets are available at the club (399.2478). Other ticket types also are available, and the details on that may be had from Eric Timmerman at eric@fuzzyvodka.com or at www.wolfchallenge.com.

The ride up South Union Street has become impressive. Newly repaved and no longer a pothole-addled obstacle course, it’s a pleasurable drive into the heart of the city. Kudos to the planners for that and the wider sidewalks/jogging paths on the west side, and for the new storm sewers and curbing. It has, as they say, brought appeal to what once was otherwise.

So long summer, hello year-round school COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I am so excited I am suffering bladder control issues. School is back in session for my kids and that glorious announcement bears repeating: School started today! Finally. I know summer vacation is only 10 weeks, but man, those are a long-butt two point five months. When I was a child I thought year-round educational programs were the work of evil masterminded adults who hoped to keep minors forever in salt-mine servitude, but as a parent, I’m thinking a little academic slavery might not be such a bad thing. Let’s consider this possibility. One of my biggest challenges each summer is keeping some semblance of a routine at our house. I don’t know about your heirs, but mine need structure. They need to have consistent bedtimes and wake times. They need scheduled meals, daily physical activity and social interaction. Otherwise, they quickly become bored and whiney, even if they sneak in seven hours of Wii. However, that’s much easier said than done. Remember my Summer 2011 Plan? Strict eating and bed times, limited technology interaction, Amish Day? Well, as I probably should have known, some things just work better in theory. Actually, Amish Day and the chore chart were smashing successes, at least for me. The kids would argue differently. But the kitchen schedule, required reading and keeping track of Xbox hours proved to be too challenging with four children; especially,

when I was working for most of June. Three hours on Call of Duty 16 seems like plenty of time, but it really goes by quickly and often Doo and I would pretend we didn’t see the clock because they are so quiet and happy while sniping Nazi’s. With year-round school, or at least a calendar with small breaks sprinkled throughout the year, I’d only have to worry about surviving July, which would be fairly simple if I throw in a family vacation, maybe a sports camp and a trip to Mamaw’s. Furthermore, “they” say knowledge retention is greater among students who have fewer large gaps in their school year. They also advise shorter and more frequent vacations can prevent academic burn out. That sounds good to me. I do worry about teenagers, however. Summer jobs as life guards, nannies, fry cooks and lawn mowers are essential learning experiences for our high school kids. Plus, there is something truly magical about having 70 whole days of sprinklers, lightening bugs and popsicles, with nary a spiral notebook in site. I truly enjoy not fighting the homework battle each and every evening. I’d had my fill of summer vay-cay by June 20, which is why August couldn’t come soon enough. Peace out!

Westfield BoyScout Troop 107 Submitted photo

Boy scouts add fire to Farmers Market By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com The Boy Scouts are bringing a new flavor to the fresh tastes of Westfield Farmers Market Friday night. Westfield’s Troop 107 is waking up summer taste buds with America’s favorite campfire cooking as part of a demonstration of scouting skills. The crew will be roasting meals on an open fire at the weekly market and cooking their favorite eats on backpacking stoves. Westfield resident and Troop leader Jim Hester said the 64-year-old Troop’s scouts will be teaching about the wilderness and how to have safe and exciting experiences all season. “Our focus at the Farmers Market is going to be on getting outdoors, the scouts will demonstrate scouting skills ranging from rope and spar lashings to fire building.” Hester said. “They’ve been working hard to plan and design the program to attract youth and families to come visit while building interest in the program.” Representatives from local Cub Scout Packs will also be on hand to answer questions about

scouting and getting involved in the Cub Scout or Boy Scout program for the new school year. Although this is the first year Troop 107, which is chartered by Westfield Christ United Methodist Church, has partnered with Westfield Farmers Market, its history in the community dates back to 1948. The 100-year-old Boy Scout organization has been developing participants’ character and has helped young men develop into community leaders. Hester, a former Boy Scout and father of two boy scouts, took on the role as assistant district commissioner after realizing the value of the organization in families, schools and communities. “These young men are not just Boy Scouts; they’re valedictorians, leaders of their athletic teams and volunteers in a whole host of community outreach programs. I can’t wait to see the difference they make as adults,” Hester said. “It is important for these young men to show how scouting can impact your life. Our partnership with Farmers Market is an opportunity for families to learn what scouting has to offer.”

4-H members take on Indiana State Fair By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County 4-H’ers will be making their mark at the Indiana State Fair this year. 215 4-H members, not including animal and livestock project participants, have qualified for the 2011 State Fair by placing in projects ranging from cake decorating to photography. 4-H project participants undergo a judging day where they are interviewed by judges about their projects. Judges place the participants and decide what projects will qualify for the next level in their 4-H experience. State Fair qualifiers have the opportunity to showcase their projects for nearly 17 days at the Marion County Fairgrounds for the State Fair, which runs August 5th through August 21st. Youth/Agriculture Program Assistant Lisa Hanni said there are over 4000 exhibits at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair; therefore, the honor of being chosen to participate in State Fair is an important aspect of highlighting 4-H

6 | August 9, 2011

members’ accomplishments and providing them with a unique experience. “The Indiana State Fair is just a whole other league in itself,” Hanni said. “It is quite an accomplishment to get your 4-H project selected for state fair from Hamilton County. The State Fair offers 4-H’ers new learning experiences and opportunities to meet 4-H’ers from all over the state.” According to Hamilton County 4-H, animal projects such as livestock and horses do not have to qualify for State Fair. Participants can enter their animals into shows at the fair. Hanni said the State Fair experience is a tremendous tool for participants to expand their knowledge on their topics and an opportunity to get a different perspective. “It is always nice for the 4-H’ers to see how their project compares to projects made by 4-H’ers around the state who are about the same age as they are,” Hanni said. “You also get the opinion of another judge evaluating your project.”

Westfield team holds national trophy high By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com Westfield’s Indiana Bulls have slugged their bats into a season that successfully ended with a beaming national championship trophy. Coach Dave Mundy already has three national championships under his belt, but he said they couldn’t compare to this year’s season. He said the players’ integrity and unstoppable dedication is what propelled them across home plate with a win. “This year was one of my favorite wins I have ever had,” Mundy said. “Over the past 19 years I have had the opportunity to coach in several national tournaments, but this year’s team was a very good combination of great players and also great young men. The team traveled all over the country to play for the highest title in their field for months, beating teams in Ohio, Austin and Cleveland on their path for the big win. Westfield High School graduate and second base player Andy Gehr said the tournament was a charge of adrenaline. “It was an exciting experience to beat teams all over the country,” Gehr said. “We played well and competitively with high intensity, which helped us win.” Mundy said 18-year-old Gehr played a vital role in the team’s championship win over the Dallas Mustangs. Mundy said Gehr excelled all season despite it being his first year on the team. “Andy was one of our leading hitters and one of the better defensive players we have had for quite some time,” Mundy said. “He constantly maintained a positive attitude and emerged as one of our team leaders through his quiet, yet competitive demeanor. It was an honor to get to coach Andy this past summer.

“For a team who didn’t even know me and had been playing together for a long time to give me a chance was pretty cool,” Gehr said. That team unity and support will be a driving force and a positive memory when he slides into his college jersey as a Bellarmine University baseball player in the fall. Although Gehr’s talents and daily workouts helped get him a spot on the university’s Louisville, Kentucky field he said he owes a lot of it to the people he worked with all summer. “Coach Mundy is a good guy, he helped me a lot through the recruiting process and he and the team gave me a chance,” Gehr said.

Afraid of that first step out of bed? COMMENTARY By Dr. David Sullivan Stabbing, aching, and sharp shooting. These are some of the descriptions of pain many people complain about when they have heel pain, especially on their first few steps out of bed in the morning. When people have mechanical issues with their feet or have added stress to them, they often get symptoms similar to those just mentioned. Plantar fasciitis is the most common heel pain diagnosis. It is caused by excessive physical stress to the plantar fascia, which is a strong and wide ligamentous band that stretches from the heel to the ball of the foot. The reason the pain is often worse on the first few steps out of bed or after any amount of rest is the fascia tightens when at rest. Then, when weight is placed on the foot it naturally wants to flatten out, but the tight fascia does not want to stretch; so, it jerks on the heel bone where it attaches or sometimes along its course through the arch. This causes inflammation and pain. The physically demanding stress can be any or a combination of the following:

• poor foot mechanics • weight gain • prolonged stance or walking • uneven terrain • poor shoe gear/poor support • new exercise routine • excessive barefoot walking If this condition goes undiagnosed or untreated for several months, then the inflamed tissue thickens similar to scar tissue. The vast majority of patients respond very well to conservative treatment with only three to five percent requiring surgical intervention. Treatment begins with determining the actual stress, then it may include: orthotics, cortisone injections, antiinflammatory medication, education on shoes, splinting/bracing, lifestyle changes and physical therapy. If pain is not adequately controlled with conservative treatment then surgery is usually the next step. Consult your podiatrist if you have heel pain that has not improved.

Just the basics GRAMMAR LESSON By Brandie Bohney I’ve written a couple of columns this summer regarding grammar as it relates to technology. I honestly expected to get some backlash – especially from younger readers – but I didn’t. At first I thought that the lack of response is because people who would criticize my cautionary suggestions about posting on facebook and word choice on smartphones with autocorrect simply weren’t reading my column. It’s summer, after all. What kid is reading up on proper grammar in the local newspaper? It turns out, though, that a lot of young people are also appalled by rotten grammar and punctuation online and in texts and tweets. While searching online for some specific grammar-related information, I happened across a blog in which several young people (under the age of 25) had commented about a certain reality show’s leading lady. The subject of their conversation? The reality star’s atrocious grammar, spelling and her utter lack of punctuation in tweets and online posts. Granted, the subject of their irritation is a virtual Neanderthal. The research I did to figure out who she is and what the complaints were about turned up page after page of grammatical insanity. I thought I was going to need to defibrillate myself. After thinking about it a little more and reading several youth-centric blogs and comments that related to grammar, I developed a list of mistakes you absolutely must avoid online in any format for any audience: Misuse of common homophones. Few will bristle if you confuse principle and principal (unless your career demands you know the dif-

8 | August 9, 2011

ference), but even adolescents will notice if you screw up their, there, they’re; then and than; your and you’re. (Technically, then and than aren’t homophones, but pronunciation sometimes makes them so.) Interestingly, it’s and its did not seem to make the cut. Then again, apostrophe use in general wasn’t a wide basic concern. Capitalization. Failing to capitalize proper nouns – names of people, especially – is annoying and makes you seem stupid, these techy whippersnappers say. Capitalizing the beginnings of sentences is important, too. End punctuation. It seems that omission of commas isn’t a huge offense in many online communities, but failing to use end punctuation – especially if you also fail to capitalize at the beginnings of sentences – is downright criminal. I read several scathing comments about the idiocy of “perpetual run-ons.” I can’t say I disagree, either. Spelling by pronunciation only. A common complaint among these young online experts was people who spell things exactly as they say them, particularly when the writer’s pronunciation is a regional idiosyncrasy. While gotta, gonna, and wanna seem to be generally acceptable in informal scenarios, spellings such as differnt, supposably, and probly are a sure way to incur mocking at the keystrokes of the online community even in the most informal settings. I was thrilled to find that young people are concerned with certain aspects of grammar even in casual online forums. It gives me hope.

Anderson Corporation and Cusato designs home.

Jim Anderson with Anderson corporation Photos by Lindsay Eckert

Innovative home breaks ground on Penn Street By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com Westfield’s historical charm is being introduced to its future endeavors on the corner of Penn and Walnut streets. The nearly 200-year-old corner lot is the construction site for one of the nation’s most innovative homes. Anderson Building Corp. has teamed with a unique home designer to build a house that matches Westfield’s historical heritage with practicality and style. Penn street’s lot may be hosting a foundation for the future but, it was one of the first lots marked by Westfield founders, Asa Bales and Simon Moon. Westfield’s pioneers measured lots by nature, using distinct trees as marking points like the one that once marked Walnut Street. Marianne Cusato, an architecture graduate from Notre Dame, designed the home that was showcased as a virtual model at a national convention in 2010. She said her design highlights Westfield’s growth and success in the future while maintaining a respect to its small-town charm that makes residents proud of their town. “This design is a perfect fit for old towns [like Westfield], a downtown that has amazing bones and just needs help sparking a renaissance in its downtown,” Cusato said. “That spark puts excitement back into its main streets and adds efficiency for its residents.” Jim Anderson, owner of Anderson Building Corp. and longtime Westfield resident, said Westfield’s small-town energy motivated him to move his business and his life to downtown Westfield 16 years ago.

“I have lots of passion for downtown, I moved here for the small town feel; it’s a town where your neighbor moved here for the same reasons and so did their neighbor,” Anderson said. “I wanted to build a home where people could walk to the library and be near the trails. I want to keep the small town feel that makes me love living here.” Although Anderson Corp. is building the first new home on Penn Street in more than 100 years, he says it will be a catalyst in the revitalization of Westfield’s downtown, the town’s founders made the same concept successful in 1834. John Conklin built one of Westfield’s first businesses in 1834 where the home’s new foundation now stands. A young and innovative creator in his time, Conklin dug his own foundation in the form of nine foot pits that he lined with clay by hand to layer animal hide to prepare for leather. Although he found success at Penn and Walnut, the entrepreneur was drafted into a new world unlike his home in Westfield as a soldier in the Civil War. “Conklin was part of an early beginning in Westfield and part of an early industry, but he was one of the soldiers who didn’t get to return home,” Bruce Hansen, president of Westfield Historical Society said. “He was killed in the Battle of Pittsburgh in the 1840s.” Cusato said the home’s design also connects history with the lessons Americans have learned in the recent past and is key for the sustainability of the home and the community. “There was a formula that big meant luxurious, a lot of homes were being built big for the sake of being big and weren’t designed to feel like a space you loved,” Cusato said. “The country got into trouble from the idea of building unusable space, and where did all those extra gables get you? This home offers style while utilizing every single square foot. It’s a home that offers an intrinsic livable value while

fitting your lifestyle and being a place you love.” As a historian and a Westfield resident who is passionate about learning the beginnings of Westfield while following its timeline all the way to the present. Hansen said he doesn’t doubt Westfield’s founders would be pleased with the construction of the home. “Westfield’s founders carved a town out of wilderness and it’s important to preserve that intrinsic nature of downtown,” Hansen said. “The builder’s and designer’s vision has traditional elements that I believe would be a comfort to the founders and respectful to the town they created.”

The home will be completed in Sept. 2011. Submitted photo

Chill out without a grill-out

COOKING By Clint Smith With this seemingly unceasing heat wearing out its welcome, it’s safe to assume that toiling in front of the gas grill sounds like torture. So if you’re waving the white flag at the oppressive temperatures, no sweat. Just relax and enjoy this easy recipe in the air conditioning. If you don’t have the capability to grill on your kitchen range (say with a cast-iron grill pan), you can also pan-sear your fish. Ahi tuna is a firm, steaky fish with a sweet flavor. Sure, you could substitute another firm fish here (like salmon or cod), but tuna is an ideal pairing for this week’s accompaniment. This asparagus salad is one of my favorite dishes because there’s a lot happening here. You have a compelling concoction of asparagus (pungent, bitter), edamame, an immature soybean that provides a nutty element, peas (sweet) and bacon (smoky, salty). Fresh herbs top it off with the contrasting flavors of fresh herbs. It might be a challenge to round-up fresh edamame, but many markets stock frozen, podded soybeans. Just remember: when using frozen vegetables, don’t overdo it—gently thaw by blanching in hot water and immediately shock in cold water. This will maintain color, texture and nutrients. Clint Smith is an honors graduate of The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, Le Cordon Bleu, and is currently a culinary arts instructor at Central Nine Career Center in Greenwood.

Ahi tuna with asparagus and edamame salad Serves 2 Ingredients • 2 ahi (or yellowfin) tuna steaks • 1 shallot, minced, soaked in 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar • 6-8 ounces asparagus, cut in pieces • To taste, kosher salt and cracked black pepper • 6 ounces podded edamame • As needed, olive oil • 2 slices bacon, cut in thick chunks • 6 ounces fresh shelled peas • ¼ cup chicken stock • 3 tablespoons olive oil • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar • Juice from ½ lemon • Handful fresh tarragon leaves • Handful fresh mint leaves • handful fresh chopped chives Directions 1. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear fish until desired doneness is achieved. Set aside and cover with foil, allowing to rest. 2. Blanch asparagus in boiling water for roughly a minute before plunging in cold water. Repeat process for edamame

and peas. In a wide sauté pan, cook bacon until crisp (you may need to remove a bit of rendered fat afterwards). Add edamame, peas, pour over stock, bring to simmer. Add asparagus, shallot (drained). Add oil, balsamic, juice, kosher and cracked black pepper. Adjust seasonings. Fold in fresh herbs and serve.

Researchers have linked resveratrol to improvements in longevity, fat-burning and athletic endurance. In a study published in the journal Cell, French researchers found that rodents that received what would in humans be the equivalent to 100 glasses of red wine ran twice as far on a treadmill as mice that weren’t supplemented. Researchers attributed the boost to resveratrol’s ability to boost energy-producing mitochondria in muscle cells. -fitbie.com

» Reduce dark circles – Dark under-eye circles are most often caused by genetics, often appearing when blood vessels lie close to the thin skin under one’s eyes. However, alcohol consumption and a lack of sleep can make them worse. What to do: drink at least eight glasses (eight ounces each) of water daily, get proper amounts of sleep, apply a cold compress to the area, use creams with vitamin K – which acts as a fading agent. When combined with retinoic acid, the fading caused by vitamin K is increased. -Bottom Line Health » More relaxation drinks – Unit sales of relaxation drinks doubled between 2008 and 2010, with 127 million liters sold in 2010. “Consumption trends of America show that Americans are always willing to try out new things – relaxation drinks might be one of those things,” said an official with NPD Group. The drinks typically contain melatonin and other ingredients said to induce calmness. -Reuters

What does your face say? COMMENTARY By Barry Eppley One’s face is revealing of many things, sometimes good and sometimes not so good. Time, genetics, sun, smoking and stress or good fortune all leave their marks on one’s face. Right or wrong, people make instant judgments about one another’s age, personality and character based on their facial features. But many things can be gleaned from a face than just a smile or a frown. Certain medical conditions may be able to be diagnosed just from one’s face. Sparse hairs or an absence of the outer third of the eyebrows could be a sign of thyroid failure. A round or moon-shaped face develops is someone taking steroids. Small strokes can be detected from changes in facial expressions or laugh lines. A very broad forehead and large nose may be a sign of acromegaly where too much growth hormone is being produced. Sleepy eyes may be a sign of a neuromuscular disorder known as myasthenia gravis, which makes the eyelids droop. The ears can be a tipoff to gout, if they have bumps that look like tiny stones under the skin. A common sign of aging is the arcus senilis, a whitish or grayish ring that forms around the iris in many older people. In the right lighting, one can tell if someone has had cataract surgery as the implanted lens gives off a “metallic glint” at certain angles. One’s stated age versus their appearance can often be a sign of good or ill health. A youthful look

www.youarecurrent.com

is usually a sign of good health as illnesses tend to make people look older. Even if one looks older than their stated age and has no medical illnesses it may also reflect various psychological disorders. The face is also a well known reflection of one’s age and occurs in a classic triad. First, wrinkles, age spots and tiny spider veins appear which are worsened by long-term sun exposure and smoking. Secondly, a loss of volume appears which is the shrinking of the fat layers in the face, most commonly in the cheeks. This will create a gaunt or deflated look and cause bags under the eyes to stick out more than before. Lastly, certain parts of the face simply drop, neck and cheeks sag downward due to stretched out skin and loose ligaments. But one’s skin color has a huge impact on facial aging. The more pigment you have in your skin, the thicker it is. Thicker skin has more elastic fibers, which are more resistant to aging changes. The increased pigment also blocks the sun better. In addition, darker skin has more oil glands so it remains suppler over a lifetime and less prone to wrinkling. These are the advantages that African Americans, Asians, Hispanics and people of Mediterranean descent have over most Caucasians. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

For July, both hiring and paycheck levels are down slightly from the previous month, resulting in YTD decreases of 2.4 percent and 0.3 percent respectively. In addition, optimism among small business owners plummeted from 67 percent in June to 47 percent in July.

The truth is bliss

COMMENTARY By David Cain I’m the cook at our house. I do the grocery shopping too. Today, I went to the store and on the way home I stopped at a roadside stand for “farm fresh produce”. Dads like fresh things from the farm. We picked up some melons, peaches, tomatoes and Indiana corn. Back at the house, I went to work behind the grill. Promises of an hour turned to two hours, but still a blue-ribbon meal is the result. Little Jacquie, at three, isn’t interested in eating. I tell them both – everyone really – “First one done gets an ear of corn!” Silly I know. But, it’s Indiana corn and it was grilling away, smelling delicious. Why wouldn’t that be a killer motivator? Jacquie immediately begins eating quicker, proving my motivation theory sound. I made the remark, “do you like everything?” She said, “I want that unicorn, Daddy!” Oh no, I was merely promising an ear of corn. A unicorn is so hard to deliver. Had I compromised Rule 1 of Dad 101 – “Never commit to anything you can’t deliver?”

Carmel’s Most Anticipated Luxury Apartment Community

Like any good father, I decided to get busy problem solving. What could I offer instead? What would be more fun to a three-year-old than a unicorn? What I need is a princess, a mermaid. One of those beauties would bail me out of this fix. Unfortunately, they weren’t any more real than a unicorn, dang single-horned horse. What could I do? I served the ear of corn anyway and explained the situation. Of course, it took a lot of extra butter and some further discussion about unicorns; however, in the end the truth was better. I learned tooth fairies, mermaids and fairies are all cool, but there is nothing like real-life facts to make a situation right. Even a three-year-old will tell you, the truth is always better than unicorns – a statement that will replay in my mind for the foreseeable future.

Christianity begs to differ Spirituality By Bob Walters “The things said most confidently by advanced persons to crowded audiences are generally those quite opposite to the fact; it is actually our truisms that are untrue.” – G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy In the spheres of modern religion, morality, politics, education, science – quick, name some more spheres – I can’t think of a more frighteningly accurate assessment or warning about mass-marketed “truth” than this nugget Christian essayist Gilbert K. Chesterton wrote in 1908. And by “modern” we mean in the philosophical, intellectual sense which – over the past 500 years or so – has come to mean “intelligence invented by man” (e.g. secular humanism, faith in man) as opposed to “intelligence that emanates from the Creator” (e.g. religion, faith in God). This is relevant in today’s Christian conversation because “modern” culture has overtaken most of civilization’s greatest institutions thereby narrowing the influence of Christian truth. The modern culture of education, the media, “intellectual elites,” most governments (including ours) and even distressingly many churches – all insist man is man must be “one” with everything around him, such as the universe, animals, the weather and each other … whatever. The fact is we are not one. Even God is not One but a society, the Trinity. Our love, rebel-

lion, decisions and freedom all prove it’s the differences in the universe that animate God’s plan, not the similarities. Where modern thought identifies patterns and sameness, it frequently and mistakenly imputes “truth” where none exists. Here’s an example: “The religions of the earth differ in rites and forms, but they are the same in what they teach.” Observes Chesterton, “It is false; it is the opposite of the fact. The religions of the earth do not greatly differ in rites and forms; they do differ greatly in what they teach. They are alike in everything except the fact that they don’t say the same thing.” Chesterton uses the massive differences of Christianity and Buddhism – the external, creative “otherness” of the Christian God vs. the inward, quiet “oneness” of the Buddha – to make his case. His larger point says it is easier and more “modern” to say “they are the same” than to deeply consider why they are not. “Go along to get along” was not the teaching of Christ. Orthodoxy clearly explains why Christ makes a difference, not just to Chesterton, but to all Creation. God’s truth – Jesus Christ – is a truism we can trust.

Removing walls in custom kitchen remodel REMODELING By Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home located in Indianapolis was built 28 years ago. The current owners have lived in this home for 18 years and the kitchen has never been remodeled. The homeowner said,“now that the kids are gone, it‘s time to update!” REMOVING WALLS & CREATING NEW SPACE: The biggest change was the elimination of several existing walls and the creation of the new larger space. The new plan created a separate laundry room and half bath in the former laundry area. A structural beam was installed to support the kitchen ceiling when a section of wall was removed. The new beam was raised into the ceiling allowing a continuous, flush new ceiling. A new wall was added bumping out into the great room roughly three feet. Finally, a bulkhead was framed over the new banquette area to create new cozy soffit lighting. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE: According to the homeowner, the biggest difference now is the new open floor plan. “The dividing walls from the kitchen/dining room are gone. The new laundry area is divided and closed off from the half bath. The kitchen wall was replaced by an island. We absolutely love the island. It’s the best part of our kitchen remodel. We used to have a small breakfast bar where we ate. Now, we eat at the large island all the time.” FAVORITE FEATURES: The old cabinets were replaced with new semi-custom, full overlay cabinets with a square raised panel door style. The perimeter and banquette areas are maple painted a polar white color while the island is

After maple painted black. All drawers were upgraded to five-piece, dovetail, full-extension and soft close. The new tile backsplash was also a favorite. The homeowner commented, “one of my favorite items of the new kitchen is the beveled subway tile backsplash. It is absolutely beautiful against the black pearl granite countertops. We are very pleased with our kitchen.” Larry Greene is the president of Case Design/Remodeling, a fullservice design/build firm serving Hamilton County. Contact him at lgreene@indy.rr.com.

Preventing ‘Wonderland’ decorating mistakes DESIGN By Vicky Earley Alice of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” was the original expert in problems relative to interiors and scale. This classic character was instructed to eat and drink elements that would make her grow and shrink until she was out of scale with her surroundings. She became so small she could not use the chairs and tables, and then she grew too large to not use them. One of the most dramatic examples of nonfictional problems relative to furniture scale would be the sofa that was destined to become the solution to all seating woes, but does not fit through the door. Typically, problems with scale are usually less dramatic than a sofa relegated to a life on the front porch, but it can be one of those insidious things that just gnaws at you about a space. If you think about it, it’s no wonder that scale is one of the most common interior decorating problems. Most furniture stores are huge boxes with 30 foot ceilings. When buying decisions are made in an environment with virtually no relationship to the home, mistakes are inevitable. Scale of home furnishings is relative, pure and simple. It is relative to the space, it is relative to the other pieces in the room. A chair that looks Lilliputian on the floor of a store could end up being gargantuan when placed in the home. It is that relativity, or proportion, that makes

www.youarecurrent.com

a room flow or makes a room an uncomfortable and expensive mistake. If this has left you feeling as if purchasing new home furnishings is rife with peril, your solution is an “elevation”. An elevation is a rendering, this the first cousin to the all-important space plan. It is a designer’s professional tool that determines the best height, depth and width of furnishings for your space, based on ceiling height, room size and scale of existing furnishings. Beyond the planning on paper, it is vital to step back from a space to consider the scale. Look at the entire space, and assess how one thing relates to another. For example, imagine a room with a 15 foot ceiling that is filled with sofas, chairs and tables that are all approximately 36 feet high. The furnishings might be in scale with each other, but not with the actual room; therefore, something must be done to manage the void. Art, bookcases, window treatments, chandeliers, fireplace build-outs and murals are just a few of the elements that can fill the negative space. The point is to design the space with rapport between the furnishings and the size of the room. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in downtown Carmel.

Travel in Style: What to Pack With travel regulations requiring an extra fee for checked bags the best way to save money is to use a carry on. Here are some quick tips to make the most out of the room in your bag without having to sacrifice style or convenience.

• Hair • Skin • Nails • Massage

Choose Classic Colors: Use your judgment based on the season; black and grey are timeless for winter, brown looks great year-round, and white is perfect for summer.

Diversify with Accessories: The best way to make an outfit feel special is to accessorize appropriately. You will want to choose small, relatively inexpensive accessories for security and functionality. If you can’t leave your favorite diamonds behind, wear them on the plane to ensure their safety. Bring Staples: Solid tanks, tees, dark jeans, and leggings are perfect for everyday outfits. Your accessories will spice up these standard pieces. Another great option is the classic black dress, which with the right shoes, can go from day to night. Toiletries: Remember TSA’s 3-1-1 rule and you won’t have to waste time at the security checkpoint. 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure. Salon01 carries a wide variety of your favorite products in TSA approved travel sizes.

A Guide to Your Perfect Mascara

Back To School!

Choose the right shade: The best way to get great lashes is to start with the right shade of mascara. Black can work on anyone, but for fair-skinned individuals, and those with red hair, try a brownblack for a softer look.

Add Heat: Blast your eyelash curler with your hair dryer before very carefully curling the lashes. Squeeze the eyelash curler for a couple seconds once in the middle of the lashes, and once near the tips. Enhance: For a more dramatic look, apply single, false lashes that come in tiny clumps. Using tweezers, dip the lashes in lash glue and place at the outer corner of your eyelid.

O f f e r go o d t h r o u gh Au gu s t 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

Add Volume: A translucent powder at the ends of lashes gives mascara volume and stay-power. Using an eye shadow brush, sweep powder on the ends and tops of your lashes. Apply: Start with the wand at the root of your lashes and wiggle the brush to your ends. Apply multiple coats for a bolder look, being careful not to let it dry between applications, in order to avoid clumping.

Traveling in Style: What to Wear Have you ever seen those women that step off an eighteenhour flight looking like they met a famous stylist in that tiny smoke-free bathroom at the back of the plane? Yeah, we envy them too. After we dust off our sweatpants and gracefully remove the drool from the corner of our mouths, we decide to find our own Tim Gunn en route. After all, with Salon 01 style what are we doing skimping on fashion in the name of comfort?! We are men and women that can have it all. Forget the Sweats Microfiber, lycra, and spandex are your friends on those long trips in the car or on the plane. That doesn’t mean you have to look like grandma Betty in her favorite baby blue warm-up suit. Choose dark colors and sleek designs that compliment your body. For petites we love the Petite Sloan fit crop pants by Banana Republic. The “power stretch” fabric gives this pants amazing stretch and recovery.

Live in your Classic Wrap Dress Wrap dresses are amazing for every season. Add leggings and long sweater for winter or a light cardigan and wedges for summer. Because you are focusing on one piece, going through security will be a breeze. Pick your Power Shoe Wearing your heaviest shoe is key when you are trying to travel light. Also keep in mind that if it is not comfortable you are not going to want to wear it. That means in the airport and at your destination! There’s no room for uncomfortable shoes in your suitcase. Pack that Pashmina A perfect pashmina is the wonder accessory when it comes to layering. Use it as a light throw during flight, a cover up at the beach, or a pop of color to your classic outfit.

Pets help children develop PETS By John Mikesell Children learn many positive behaviors from having a pet in their lives. Pets provide valuable life lessons in empathy and responsibility, according to new research from Purdue University. Whether they’re, feathered, scaled or finned, pets can play a vital role in a child’s overall development; offering companionship and social support. “There is no doubt the relationship children have with pets has positive effects on their attitude and behavior,” said Dr. Gail F. Melson professor emeritus of developmental studies at Purdue. “Additionally, on a broader level, pets help develop a child’s natural curiosity about the world.” Melson, who authored Why the Wild Things Are: Animals in the lives of children, said children receive other benefits from pets as well. Pets are like a best friend. Children often see their pets as confidants with whom they can freely share

www.youarecurrent.com

their feelings. Fish, guinea pigs or leopard geckos can be a strong source of emotional support. According to one of Melsons studies, 5- year-olds who regularly confided in their pets had an easier time adjusting to kindergarten because they had a way to express their feeling about the change. Pets show children how to care. Taking care of a pet encourages children to think about more than themselves and become responsible for another being’s welfare. Children who care for pets are more empathetic and feel better about themselves. Pets teach children to understand and learn nonverbal cues from animals’ inabilities to speak and they spark a love of learning. Children who have pets tend to become more interested in issues such as animal welfare and the environment then those without pets. In other words, pets are a starting point from which children begin to learn about the natural world.

Pets of the week Sophie is a two-year-old female black and white Boston Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier mix. Sophie is a very sweet girl who adores her human friends and is known for sharing lots of kisses. She gets along with most other dogs and she loves to play. Sophie arrived at the shelter with a few wounds and an infection in her foot and she is also Heartworm positive. Her wounds have healed, her infection is gone and so she just needs to find a foster home so she can begin the life saving treatment for her Heartworm disease. Her treatment will cost $300, so anyone who would like to help sponsor her treatment or would be interested in fostering her, please contact the Animal Programs staff at 774-1263 or atanimalprograms@hamiltonhumane.com Callie is a nine-year-old female calico DSH. Callie is a quiet girl who prefers the companionship of adults. When she first meets someone new she can be a little slow to warm up, but with a little patience she will be in their lap in no time. Callie’s claws have been removed from her front and back paws and she is litter box trained.

Back to school: Baby-boomer style HUMOR By Mike Redmond Wow. Here we are at the beginning of August and kids are already steeling themselves for the return to school. This is one of the times I really enjoy being a person of Baby Boomer vintage. It’s fun to see the looks on the faces of the little ones as I regale them with stories of going back to school after Labor Day, and getting out before Memorial Day. Of course, I don’t throw in the part about how long summer breaks meant we forgot pretty much everything we had supposedly learned in the first semester of the preceding school year, but that’s beside the point. I’m going for envy here. I have to admit I always enjoyed the first day of a new school year. In fact, after about 10th grade or so, it was usually the only day of the school year I did enjoy. I loved new school clothes. There was something so hopeful about shoes with unscuffed toes and pants with creases where you actually wanted them. I loved the school, too. The building, I mean. It was gleaming clean and smelled of floor wax, the air as yet unsullied by the usual school smells: Post-P.E. B.O., the results from pull-myfinger jokes and that mysterious green stuff janitors sprinkled on all manner of toxic spills. The new school year was full of promise: Maybe this would be the year that you would get a locker that didn’t jam. Maybe this would be the year you could actually get to your locker, seeing as how the older, larger, ill-tempered boyfriends of the girls on either side of you had

graduated and wouldn’t be in the way when you needed to get your English book. Speaking of girls, maybe this would be the year you’d actually date one. I notice I’m referring mostly to the high school experience here. Elementary school year beginnings had many of the same charms (absent the locker-boyfriend drama) plus some bonuses that still have no equal: Fresh boxes of crayons and beautiful new pink erasers. Now, you’ll notice that I have given minimal mention to education, as in actually learning something, perhaps even something useful. That’s not to say that it wasn’t on our minds. In fact, many of us began the school year thinking this would be the year when we actually put the nose to the ol’ grindstone and finally got the grades that would satisfy our parents. We would be bursting with energy and strong with resolve, right up until the moment we walked off the bus and through the doors. There’s nothing in the work day world of the adult to compare with the first day of school. Is there we so-called grownups could feel it one more time? Maybe we could all start taking long summer vacations. You know, like we Baby Boomers got back in the old days. Sorry, kids. Enjoy those new erasers, though.
