OUR VIEWS

It is our position that the use of marijuana by adults should be made legal. While we all have concerns regarding its use, it will be a great deal easier to regulate the drug in the open market and will generate substantial tax revenue. Over 15 million Americans have used the drug in the past month according to the most reliable figures available, and while many users may be doing so for medicinal purposes many more are risking prosecution. The arrests for possession and distribution of marijuana each year put an unreasonable burden on our prison system and cost taxpayers in this country billions. When and if use becomes legal, most of us will still not be drug users. Rather than spend the money enforcing the unenforceable, incarcerating hundreds of thousands each year, and encouraging the formation of potential dangerous black markets, we feel it would be much better to simply regulate the drug, create tax revenue, and lessen the burden on our jail system and law enforcement to reduce our cost and focus our efforts on more dangerous and addictive drugs and their related crimes like heroin, crack cocaine, and meth amphetamine which tend to be great deal more grievous.

Sky Lanterns

It is our position that Sky Lanterns are a bad idea and deserving of their recent public scrutiny. On the Independence Day weekend, many of us witnessed what looked like a flaming paper bag floating above our communities. Essentially, they consist of an impermeable hood attached to a candle that when lit creates hot air filling the bag and lifting the apparatus into the heavens much like a hot air balloon. To many, this is a cool concept illuminating the night sky with an almost ethereal glow. Sounds like a good idea, right? Sadly, not only do these soar overhead when ignited but are also known to drop onto rooftops causing house fires. And, they’re a danger to animals who eat them and young children who can pick them up while still hot. It is the very nature of these devices that brings us pause. Once released, the flaming sack-of-fun is at the mercy of the caprice and folly of the wind. Unlike other traditional forms of nighttime celebratory fireworks, this one may drift some distance and cannot be safely contained on an open range. While we support the right to revel, we do not find this risk worth the reward.

Every week, we will print a portion of the U.S. Constitution, followed by a portion of the Indiana Constitution. We encourage you to benchmark government policies against these bedrock documents.

Calorie Recall

FROM THE BACKSHOP

The story behind THE STORY In today’s edition of Current, we present what we know and our news sources have told us about the circumstances that precipitated the negotiated separation of Steven B. Libman and The Center for the Performing Arts, for which he was the president and chief operating officer. He did not resign for “time pressures” or “to go sailing.” Elsewhere in these pages, you will find the truth, which we’ve known for months but weren’t comfortable presenting for a variety of reasons. Was withholding the report a mistake? You can be the judge of that. To us, it wasn’t. We’re longtime members of the community, and we consider ourselves something of a two-headed taxpayer protector. Our investigation of Libman’s leadership was launched on rumors – chatter that proved to be quite true in the end, but talk nonetheless at the time. We’re not exactly overburdened with staff here, and we don’t have buckets of money, so we enlisted the aid of two freelancers to help us out. What they found, they diligently reported back to us. And what we learned caused us to probe deeper. After all, the Center, which benefits all of Central Indiana and beyond, is, in part, funded by taxpayer dollars, so that sent our antennae sky high. As our story details, Libman spoke openly in the workspace of aggressive accounting, and then, of course, there was the dalliance with a former female staff member, who, if she happened to wake up on the wrong side of the bed, could have sued the not-for-profit foundation which runs the cityowned Center and the city itself. We’re talking about potential Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and numerous other civil court complaints with respect to Libman’s carrying on with a subordinate. If the potential taxpayer burden of that, alone, doesn’t make you shudder, we suggest you sharpen your thinking. When we came into possession of information that we believed could (key word there, could) indicate criminal behavior, we met with Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard;

4 | August 16, 2011

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg we’re a lot of things, and legal experts are not among them. He insisted we let the story sit “for now” so the city could investigate and be certain to not besmirch the reputation of someone who may not have done anything wrong. It also was for the good of the taxpayers. This was not, as many are claiming, a political move in the least. The only way it was about money is this: It was a way of helping to protect the future fundraising efforts for the Center and the taxpayers. So, we relented for a variety of reasons, among them our belief our findings needed to be sharpened and we didn’t have the resources to do so; our evidence, such as it was, would be inadmissible in court, if it came to that. The city’s investigation was launched based on the information Current provided, because we saw the potential for perhaps horrific consequences for taxpayers. So, today we present the real story and more. It was an agonizing decision, because our journalistic instincts told us to go with the story. Now, we’re awfully glad we waited. Actually, it was kind of interesting to watch our big-city media counterparts go to war with one another in an effort to be first with the story. But make no mistake: We were first, and we delivered it where it should have been delivered in the first place – and for the right reasons. This isn’t about selling newspapers or improving ratings; it’s about serving our community, and you may not agree with us but we believe we have done that well.

COMMENTARY By Terry Anker In its monthly meeting with all staff, it is the habit of the Central Indiana Community Foundation (www.cicf.org) to pose an ice-breaking question to be answered in turn around the table of those gathered. It not only allows folks to become acquainted with others previously only known as a voice at the opposite end of the telephone or as a co-addressee on a department-wide email; it is also designed to promote thinking and consideration of philanthropy. At one such meeting hosted by Central Indiana’s Gleaner’s Food Bank, the question posed invited attendees to comment on their favorite individual food memory. As evidenced by the soon to complete Food for Thought program presented by Indiana Humanities (www.indianahumanities.org), people LOVE to talk about food. We tell stories about our grandmother’s persimmon pudding. We tell stories about the disastrous attempt at home cooking that led us to know that we were in love with our soon-to-be spouses. We tell stories

Current in Westfield

about holidays and families. And sometimes, we even tell stories about hunger. But food, for all of its abundance or absence, holds a special place in our collective memory. It makes me wonder if we are building the kinds of food memories in our own lives that generations to come will hold dear as tribute to their own youth. Is a Lunchable thrown over into the backseat on the way from school to dance class creating a lasting remembrance? In absence of time and abundance of prepared products, are we able to keep food as a connector between us or has it simply become a mechanism to convey calories? Growing up in rural Indiana, the trip from farm to table for me entailed about 50 yards. To my kids, food is something else entirely. What is our favorite food memory? And are we talking about it?

… people LOVE to talk about food. We tell stories about our grandmother’s persimmon pudding.

Irritating things: Part Deux COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I had a huge response to my list of irritating things. Here are the ones I missed, plus a few of yours. People [read: my children] who return empty containers to the pantry or refrigerator. I had my heart set on a few Oreo’s, opened the package, only to find nary a crumb. Not cool! Now what am I supposed to scarf down for breakfast? The round-about challenged. I understand most drivers here are not European, but roundabouts aren’t that difficult. Read the signs, follow the car in front of you and don’t stop once you’ve entered or ever cut over from the inner lane to the outer when you realize you’ve missed your exit. You WILL cause an accident. Cat hair. Our little tabby has weaponized fur. It’s like anthrax spores floating in the air, just waiting to be inhaled to wreak physiological havoc. Me-owch! People [read: Doo] who hit “snooze” repeatedly in the morning. If I don’t have to get up until 6:30, then why should I have to listen to my husband’s alarm going off at 5:30, 5:38, 5:46, and 5:54? Just haul your caboose out of bed on the first buzz! Self-righteouspeople: If you’re not God, then stop acting like you’re better than everyone else. Respect others’ decisions to live their lives according to their beliefs, values, hopes and

dreams. Unless someone asks for your opinion, just mind your own frickin’ business! People who are rude to servers: Waiting tables is one of the hardest, most humbling jobs out there. I truly believe if this country wants to do a better job of turning young adults into leaders, we should require all high school graduates to serve either a year in the military or a year in a restaurant. You’re an idiot if you think the kid serving your burger won’t wipe a booger under the lettuce if you treat her like dirt. Be kind, have patience and remember to tip at least 15 percent. People who don’t vote. I dream of waterboarding the losers who criticize our president, our Congress, our military, our judicial system, our economy and our public schools, but refuse to drag their lazy butts to the polls twice a year. If you’re not taking full advantage of your rights as an American citizen, which thousands of brave men and women have fought and died for, than SHUT THE HELL UP. You have no part in this play. I’m on a roll now … No. 8-15. Feminine pads, #2 pencils, cold sores, dirty dishes, panty lines, Fox news, Japanese beetles, and Valentine’s Day. Peace out!

Pages of remembrance for pet By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com The memory of a family’s dog lives on page by page in a book that inspired a pet lover to start a new chapter in her life. Native Hoosier, Pauleen O’Shea was living in Phoenix and working as a real estate agent when Buddy, a Boxer-Sharpay mixed breed puppy, pawed at her heart strings. “We had him before my husband and I had children, he was like my baby,” O’Shea said about the puppy she adopted from a local humane society. O’Shea said she was devastated when Buddy endured seizures that led to his early passing, but she found console in writing and reflecting how he enriched her life. “I thought I could wallow in my grief or I could remember the good things about Buddy, all the things he did that made me smile,” O’Shea said. “My emotions of lost inspired me to turn the sadness into something positive and celebrate the happiness of his life; So, I sat down one afternoon and wrote his story.” Four years later, O’Shea held her first published children’s book about a puppy’s daily antics, including bedtime stories and lapping up icecream, “When I got the actual book in my hands I was thrilled to able to turn a dream into a reality, looking back it was such a huge accomplishment.” Although the outcome was a success for O’Shea the publishing process was a story in itself, full of tales of life lessons and learning as she went.

“I didn’t have any experience with publishing or writing, I just knew I had a cute little story about a cute little puppy and I knew I had something I really believed in,” O’Shea said about the picture book published by Green Leaf Book Group. O’Shea spent the next few months touring Borders and Barnes and Noble bookstores reading “Buddy’s Bedtime” to children and families. She said being able to connect with children before she had any of her own made the experience of being a published author surreal. “I always knew I wanted to be a mother; however, I never thought of being an author but the smiles Buddy brought me allowed me to find something in myself I didn’t know I had,” O’Shea said. “It allowed me to share that joy with children and parents.” “Buddy’s Bedtime” was awarded the Moonbeam Children’s Book bronze medal in 2008. Despite the book’s success and national recognition, O’Shea said her book being her children’s favorite is the best award. “When my son was 18 months old he chose my book every day for his bedtime story before he wasn’t even old enough to know it was my book,” O’Shea said. “It’s super exciting to know I wrote this book as I read it to my children and without Buddy’s memory I would have never been able to do it.” “Buddy’s Bedtime” is available on amazon. com. For more information about the book please contact O’Shea at blstx2@gmail.com.

‘I wonder, where am I ?’ COMMENTARY By Ken Kingshill It was a similar objective not quite four years ago when the Red Man statue first appeared. It wasn’t expected to be universally loved. Rather, we hoped it would make people think and talk. I think Red Man has been an unexpected and overwhelming success. Heck, it has a nickname, after all. Today, when you drive downtown and stop at the light at Main and Union, you can’t help but notice the new three-dimensional mural on the wall of Union Street Flowers and Gifts. Have you seen it? For those of you who haven’t been downtown lately, it’s a veritable cornucopia of Westfield symbolism bursting off the wall in a vibrant splash of color. Like a lot of good art, it seems to get better each time you see it. In fact, each time I look I find something that I hadn’t noticed before. I am glad we didn’t go with a traditional, historical mural depicting scenes from the 1850s, steeped in realism. Drive by one of those and you can’t help but say to yourself, “Yep, I’m passing through Anytown, USA.” But a stranger driving through Main and Union streets is bound to look up and exclaim, “Wow, where am I?” When they find out they just drove through Westfield, Ind. they’ll vow to return some day. That’s the idea.

6 | August 16, 2011

You might ask, “How did we pay for this fine civic attraction?” Well, first Dave and Becky Weiss, the owners of the Flower Shop, donated the wall. Second, the artwork itself was funded by a grant from the Legacy Fund, specifically for the purpose of downtown beautification. Finally, you might ask, “OK, so it didn’t cost us anything, but why put up a mural on a building that might not survive the widening of State road 32?” That would be an excellent question. Suffice to say we did consider that eventuality; which explains why the mural isn’t your garden variety two-dimensional painting. It’s designed to be removed from the wall, piece by piece and one day moved to a different location, if necessary. So next time you’re driving through downtown Westfield, take a good look. If it’s your first time seeing it, woohoo! If it’s not, see if you notice something new this time. One of these days, stop, park and go into the flower shop. They just might have a post card from Westfield, Ind. just in case you don’t know where you are.

A dental practiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smiling success By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new kind of shine in dental patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; smiles at Friedman Family Dentistryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new office on Westfield road, off of State road 32. Dr. Jodi Friedman, an Indiana University School of Dentistry graduate, has grown an impactful presence in Westfield and his patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. Although his early beginnings in Westfield started small with big goals, Friedman said they were achieved quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had the goal upfront to build a new practice and it happened faster than we originally planned,â&#x20AC;? Friedman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to have the new place and our patients are happy with it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great fit and we have great patients.â&#x20AC;? Friedman and his wife, Christy, built a foundation in Westfield far before for the new practice broke ground. The couple, who met at the Oaken Bucket game as Hoosier fans, moved to Westfield 10 years ago. The IU grads said they connected with Westfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small town charm and saw an opportunity to make their dreams a reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We looked at different areas in the state and we really liked the small town feel of Westfield,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Friedman said. Christy Friedman said her husband researched the city at Westfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courthouse and soon realized the dental practiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abundant growth mirrored the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developing

population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started from scratch with the first practice in Westfield and we outgrew it quickly,â&#x20AC;? Christy Friedman said about their first location in Westfield Shopping Center on State road 32. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He [Dr. Friedman] saw an area slated to grow and the practice grew immensely, he saw that opportunity.â&#x20AC;? The building, which broke ground in November 2010, is three times the size of Friedmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first practice and treats more than 5000 patients. Although Friedman set his sights for dental school in high school, it was his late dentist who first suggested dentistry to Dr. Friedman and encouraged his chosen career path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a good friend and just the coolest guy in the world, he treated young people like adults and he had a lot of neat things about him,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Friedman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he saw a lot of him in myself, a people person whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendly and hands on.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Friedman and his wife said the man who inspired his ambitions would be proud of all that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplished in Westfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing him I think he would just smile, I think he saw that I could do this early on,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Friedman said. Friedman Family Dentistry is located at 4011 Westfield road. For more information visit www.friedmanfamilydentistry.com or call 317.867.0757

TFC provides care to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s un- and under-insured COMMENTARY By Jeff Worrell The way I see it, there are only two types of people in the world whom should read this column. Those who have medical training and those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Everyone else, move on to the next page. For those of you familiar with which end of a stethoscope goes in your ear; I will address you first. I invite you to explore a clinical oasis where you may practice your art of medicine, void of the business pressures, paperwork and schedules you might experience in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;real world.â&#x20AC;? Even if only for a few hours each month, I dare you to learn about a very unique place, The Trinity Free Clinic. Once inside the peaceful sanctuary, you will find an overwhelming amount of love, gratitude, humility and most importantly, patients whom appreciate and seek your expertise. The Trinity Free Clinic, located on the campus of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, now occupies a brand new, austere yet dignified building built specifically for one mission only. To provide free medical, dental, podiatry and ophthalmic care to the uninsured and under insured of Hamilton County. Modern exam rooms well stocked with equipment and supplies are not utilized to full capacity because there are not enough people with initials after their name, willing and able to donate a few hours to provide desperately needed healthcare. Perhaps you could use a little healthcare in your

life that is different; very different. The other kind of person that should continue reading this column includes he or she without medical aptitude, but who instinctively knows how to hug, guide, clarify, encourage, assist, listen or just be there. The volunteer experience at Trinity Free Clinic is not only rewarding, but a sought after therapy of its own. Should you heed this call, you will find yourself describing your new home away from home as a haven. The welcoming staff and volunteers at TFC will quickly become your friends and are gentle experts at exploiting every volunteer skillset that walks in the front door. I promise you will get much, much more than you give. A day just for potential volunteers has been set aside to properly explain what Trinity Free Clinic can do for you. A Volunteer Open House is being held from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday at 1045 W. 146th St. I want you to join the community which will become your link to a future of rich, personal satisfaction and a gift to your fellow man of which you most likely will never fully be able to explain. Good people are ready to welcome good people to volunteer paradise. Join us on Sunday. Jeff Worrell is a local businessman. He recognizes volunteers on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Connecting with Carmelâ&#x20AC;? on cable channel 16. Contact him at jworrell@advantagemedical.com

Affordable housing coming to Westfield AT A GLANCE Building expected completion date:

April 2012 There will be 8

buildings and a Federal tax credit program provides funding

By Lindsay Eckert Lindsay@youarecurrent.com

ommunity Action Development of Greater Indianapolis (CAGI) is teaming up with Herman and Kittle Properties (HKP) to develop a fixed-rate rental apartment complex in Westfield. The construction group will break ground soon for The Commons at Springmill, a section 42 housing apartment complex, near Springmill road and State road 32. The section 42 development will be solely funded by a federal IRS tax credit program. Unlike the government-subsidized section 8 housing program, section 42 tenants will qualify for fixed-rate rentals by their annual income. Section 8 provides rental rates by charging 30 percent of a tenant’s income. Executive Director of Community Action Group of Greater Indianapolis Ed Tipton said the tax credit program is designed for CAGI, who owns 42 developments in Indiana, to own the development. Tipton explained CAGI bid for a loan at Key Bank against other communities to obtain money for construction, only five percent of applicants receive a loan. “The program acquires tax credits the state owes and turns them into dollars. For example, every 90 cents we have from tax credits the other 10 cents is provided by our equity investor at Key Bank,” Tipton said. “The tenants’ rental payments are paying the building’s mortgage, which allows CAGI to have the loan paid off in 15 years; therefore, taxpayer money is never used.” CAGI owns section 42 developments in Marion, Hamilton, Boone and Hendricks counties. CAGI also provides energy assistance and winterization services to those who qualify. Tipton said Section 42 housing locations are determined by demographic studies, which show areas in need of affordable housing. “The demand for housing is greater than its supply, we are able to provide safe and affordable housing in areas where our tenants work,” Tipton said. “The people living in these apartments are no different than your neighbors, the tenants contribute just as much based on the money they have. The only difference is you may not know your current neighbors’ incomes.” Tipton said the program requires tenants who financially qualify to undergo extensive background checks, including criminal history and credit reports. “The thing is you may not even know

your neighbor’s criminal history, but our program ensures we’re only renting to good community citizens.” Chief Real Estate Development Officer for Indiana Jason Sipe said the housing complex, which will be completed April 2012, will also include market rate apartments among the complex’s 72 units. Sipe said the development’s construction and maintenance will provide an economic boost to the city. “This won’t only provide quality and affordable housing for working families, it will also create jobs through construction and a maintenance staff for the development,” Sipe said. “It’s an economic development that will help revitalize the area.” The City of Westfield Spokesperson Carrie Cason said the land on Springmill road and State road 32 near Maple Knoll apartment complex has been zoned for this type of development for approximately 10 years and it fits the zoning requirements for this area. “Our city is a socioeconomically diverse community and this apartment complex will help diversify the tax base. The increased number of taxpayers will only benefit the city,” Cason said. HKP, an Indianapolis property developer who owns properties in eight states, has a working relationship with CAGI and extensive experience with section 42 housing said Development Director Erika Scott. She said the firm provides general contractor and property management services to over 40 properties in Indiana, including Hamilton County; however, this will be their first project in Westfield.

“Our mission at Herman and Kittle is to create value through real estate and this community [Westfield] is a great example of our efforts,” Scott said.” We are also really excited to bring highquality housing, that’s also affordable, to the Westfield area.” Marketing and Public Relations Manager for HKP said they saw the building site as an opportunity to help CAGI provide housing opportunities. “When we became aware of this site [Springmill road] we passed it along to CAGI to see if they had an interest – and they did,” Brown said. Scott said helping CAGI reach their goals in providing needed services throughout Central Indiana has been rewarding. “With the current economy, people need to have good, stable housing options in the community they are already settled in,” Scott said. “The Commons at Spring Mill will do just that.”

DISPATCHES » Running, learning use same waves – According to a new study, the acts of learning and running use the same brain waves. The pattern of brain waves, called the gamma rhythm, “is known to be controlled by attention and learning, but we find it is also governed by how fast you are running,” said one UCLA researcher. The researchers studied the brain waves of mice as they ran in the lab. Specific spikes in the brain’s electrical activity — one way the brain cells communicate — seemed to show an increase in the gamma rhythm as the mice moved faster. The researchers don’t know how this might influence the learning process in the hippocampus. -www.livescience.com » Best-paying degrees – As some recent grads continue to look for work, here are the 10 best-paying degrees from last year, according to PayScale. 1.

The readers weigh in: Pronunciation chaos GRAMMAR GURU By Brandie Bohney Two weeks ago, I asked you to send me your pronunciation pet peeves: words and phrases that are frequently misspelled because of their pronunciations (and mispronunciations). Wow, did you ever come through with this assignment. Everyone gets an A! The most popular response was a good one: for all intensive purposes. The actual phrase is for all intents and purposes, but the rapidity at which it is often spoken blends intents and and. The phrase means in any capacity, but when written or spoken as intensive purposes, it means only for all exhausting, demanding, concentrated, or severe purposes. Purposes of a more relaxed style need not apply. Our runner-up in popularity was a tough road to hoe in lieu of a tough row to hoe. This popular phrase has agrarian roots: when planting crop, one uses a hoe to turn the soil and make it suitable for seeds. If the ground is hard, the work is tedious and difficult; thus, a tough row to hoe. Using a hoe on a road – especially a modern one (or even an ancient wooden one) would be tough no matter what. Another good one: he cut off his nose despite his face (or in spite of) instead of to spite his face. This charming phrase is used when someone does something in order to hurt, annoy, or thwart someone else, but in the process does equal or more harm to himself as to

the other person. An example would be, say, burning down your house to anger your spouse. Several readers suggested individual words that get misspelled because of mispronunciation. Among them were axe (instead of ask), expecially (especially), pacifically (specifically), and my favorites, probly, prolly, and probaly (probably). One reader even noted many people call duct tape duck tape. I agree with his sentiment, there’s not much point in taping up a duck. Ducts are much more receptive to tape. On the flip side of this pronunciation coin, one reader noted that she understood the meaning of the word segue from context, but she didn’t know its real pronunciation (like segway) until she heard it on television. She notes she was glad she never used it in conversation prior to learning the correct pronunciation. In addition to the above excellent suggestions, some readers had some hilarious examples from print. My two favorites were goodie tooshoo instead of goody twoshoes and chesterdraws instead of chest of drawers. Nice work, everyone. Class dismist.

Steak and barely—nothing odd about this couple Cooking By Clint Smith Just because you hear the word “steak” doesn’t automatically imply “heavy.” Today, I’m talking about filet mignon—appealing to stout appetites in the mood for something filling, yet dainty enough to guard off guilt. Buying this coveted cut of beef doesn’t mean breaking the bank. A thick, center-cut filet will do the trick for a duo of diners. This is a summertime dish, after all. I usually discuss the application of contrasts in terms of flavor; however, for this recipe I’m focusing on temperature. In the hot zone is our aforementioned steak, and over in the cold corner you have a chilled pearled barley salad. Filet is a tender cut of beef, but it’s often times

bland. No worries—this accompaniment makes up for it. Pearl barley is hulled and polished grains, undergoing about five or six polishing procedures. During this process, the grain has its germ extracted, along with a small amount of vitamins and minerals. However, pearled barley remains an excellent source of iron, zinc, folic acid, B6 and thiamine. It’s also a high quality source of dietary fiber. Not to mention a nice change of pace on your summertime plate. 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.

Pan-seared filet with pearled barley salad Ingredients • 1 center-cut filet • 1 cup pearled barley, dry • 1 teaspoon olive oil • 1 quart of water or stock, warm • 2 ounces balsamic vinegar • 6 ounces olive oil • Pinch sugar • 1/2 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, small dice • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint • 2 tablespoons feta cheese • 7-8 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half • To taste, kosher salt and cracked black pepper Directions 1. In a small pot, heat oil and add dry pearled barley, coating each grain with fat. Pour in warm water or stock, bring to a steady boil and cover. Allow pearled barely to cook for 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat, strain and “shock” in ice-cold water. Thoroughly strain from cold water and place in large

bowl. For vinaigrette: in a separate bowl, pour in balsamic, and slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Add pinch sugar, salt, and pepper, and stir in a small amount in pearled barley. Allow barley to absorb vinaigrette before adjusting with more. Add in cucumber, fresh herbs, feta and tomatoes. Place in fridge to chill. 2. Season both sides of filet with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 400° F. Meanwhile, in an oven-safe sauté pan over mediumhigh heat with a small amount of oil, sear filet on all sides until achieving mahogany color. Place pan in oven to finish cooking to desired doneness (medium rare is around 140° F). Let steak rest for ten minutes before slicing and serving atop chilled pearled barley salad.

DISPATCHES » Fixing the pore problem – Using antioxidants can minimize the appearance of pores. When debris filling the pores is exposed to pollution and other sources of free radicals, it darkens and becomes more visible. Antioxidants prevent this darkening and also help shield the skin from free radicals caused by sun exposure. Also, many dermatologists have started using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to improve the appearance of pores. This treatment is traditionally used to improve the tone and texture of the skin, but the mild swelling it produces makes pores appear smaller. -Miami Herald » Omega-3s for eye prevention – Results from a Harvard study published years ago suggested that omega-3 fats, the kind found in fish, might afford some protection against dry eyes. Several other studies have arrived at a similar conclusion, and the thinking is that omega-3s might have some kind of anti-inflammatory effect in the eyes. More recently, other researchers have reported positive results for omega-3 eye drops in mice. Some ophthalmologists have instructed their dryeye patients to increase their omega-3 intake through supplements or eating more fish. -Harvard Health Letter

Theory: Plants and flowers have a calming effect, which lowers blood pressure and makes patients feel cared about – distracting them from pain. Important: Do not bring flowers to anyone with lung problems, and neither plants nor flowers should be placed in intensive care units. -Bottom Line Health » Tortilla terror – Interested in a Chipotle chicken burrito (tortilla, rice, pinto beans, cheese, chicken, sour cream and salsa)?

Three things to know about tummy tucks COMMENTARY By Barry Eppley The stomach area is the number one region most women and some men would like to improve. Many have discovered improving the abdomen area is not as easy as one would like. Many people work hard to slim down their stomach, but they can eventually “hit the wall” and get frustrated; some may even quit their diet and exercise routines without any positive physical changes. Loosing stomach skin and fatty bulges at the waistline from pregnancy or significant weight loss is challenging and not amenable to internal calorie or fat burning. This brings some to the conclusion the only way to achieve a shapely torso is a surgical one. Everyone knows a tummy tuck is the removal of skin and fat with muscle tightening to get a flatter stomach and better waistline. It is usually a very satisfying procedure for patients; however, it is major surgery and is not just a weekend recovery. When considering a tummy tuck, be aware of the following considerations. There are two basic types of tummy tucks: If your excess skin and fat is mostly located below the belly button, you may do just fine with a mini tummy tuck. Skin and fat are removed below the belly button and a short incision can be placed very low and the belly button is not moved. There is a slightly shorter recovery with emphasis on the word ‘slightly’. If the loose skin and stretch marks are above the belly button, only a full tummy tuck

www.youarecurrent.com

will do. A full tummy tuck comes with a longer scar and a longer recovery. I have seen recent treatment approaches, particularly online, that tout a ‘scar-free tummy tuck’. There is no such thing and this is just a marketing spin to say they are offering stomach liposuction. It raises a question for people to decide between liposuction or a tummy tuck for their flabby and sagging stomachs. That has become a popular request, particularly since Smartlipo (laser liposuction) technology has become available. While it is true that Smartlipo does have some skin tightening ability, it is quantitatively different than what many people need. Smartlipo tightens skin as measured in millimeters; most people need stomach skin tightening as measured in centimeters. Liposuction is very often a part of a tummy tuck. But it isn’t necessarily used to make the tummy part looking better. It is used to shape the areas outside of where the effects of the tummy tuck occur, the outer waistline and back. A tummy tuck alone is a 180 degree or frontal torso change. By adding waistline and back contouring with liposuction, the results become more of a 270 degree torso change.

DISPATCHES » Shinier hair – You can use a makeup brush for shinier hair. Shine products help restore lost moisture and luminosity from sun exposure and hotter temps, but many contain heavy silicones that can wear hair down. The solution? Spritz shine spray onto your blush brush, then sweep over hair. “The soft bristles help apply precise, targeted shine without weighing hair down,” says Antoinette Beenders, global creative director at Aveda. -www.today.msnbc.com » Help in redecorating – The Internet has sites that can help with redecorating a small space. One is Mochihome.com, which accepts photos depicting readers’ design dilemmas and then – using a little computer magic – posts images of a variety of solutions. It makes for a “refreshingly practical” site, and its archives will give you ideas of your own. -The Week » Stain removal tips – Grass stains: Sponge rubbing alcohol on the stain and then wash with it with detergent.

Fine Corinthian leather DECORATING By Vicky Earley Admit it. You have opened the Sunday supplement and had your curiosity piqued by advertisments for leather sectionals for only $599. Leather is leather, right? What could be wrong with that? When selected properly, leather is one of the most durable upholstery materials available. When selected based on price, you might end up with Ricardo Montalbon crooning about your “Fine Corinthian Leather” sofa right along with a 1984 Chrysler Cordoba. There is a good chance leather bearing a price tag too good to be true, is actually a bonded leather. Bonded leather is a processed material that looks similar to genuine leather, but its leather fibers are bonded with latex and covered with polyurethane. A finish is applied to make it look like the real thing. Sofas covered in bonded leather may have varying amounts of genuine leather in the material. Typically the leather content is around 17 percent, this is not real leather.

Genuine leather upholstery is made from the real hides of real animals. Leather is a natural material, each hide has a unique texture, pattern and coloration. It takes many hides to cover a single sofa, so variations in color and texture are common To insure you are a wise leather consumer, this cheat sheet will help sort through the types of leathers on the market…real and faux. • Full-Grain is the most coveted of all types of leather. Full grain leather is the most genuine type of leather, as it has not been altered far beyond the removal of hair and it retains all of the original texture and markings of the original hide and a palpable texture. • Top-Grain doesn’t refer to the quality of the leather but refers the way the hide is cut. This leather is from a hide where the top or outermost layers have been left intact. When purchasing leather furniture labeled as top grain, make sure that the cushions, back and the large vis-

•

• •

ible areas are really leather and not vinyl fabrics. Split Leather is made from the lower layers of a hide that have been split away from the upper layer. Splits are buffed, sanded and embossed to look like top grain leather. These hides are stiffer than top grain leathers and are used on less expensive furniture. Aniline leather is colored all the way through with a transparent dye. The effect is applied by immersing the leather in a dye bath. The finish is transparent and shows the natural markings of the leather, only the best quality hides can be used. Semi-Aniline is leather to which a pigment layer is added to even out the color and add protection. Antiqued or Distressed Leather is dyed with one color over another (typically darker over lighter) to create rich highlights and an artificially-aged appearance.

Fall 2011: Braided Top Knot

Back To School!

Getting the perfect style takes patience and practice, and it is no different with this latest trend for 2011. Is it worth a try? We think so. The Braided Top Knot may look simple from the front, but the back braid adds an element of surprise.

$5 off a haircut for all elementary, middle, high school and college students

Start: With a texturizing spray like Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray on damp hair. Tilt: Your head forwards as you begin to french braid, starting at the nape of the neck. Having your head upside down will make braiding easier and won’t leave your arms feeling like jell-o. Stop: Braiding at the top of the head. Tie the end of braid to the top of your head using a clear elastic band. With the hair that is outside the elastic, twist and tie into a small bun. Don’t worry about it looking too polished, a messy look is almost always more fitting for this style. Secure: The bun using bobby pins and finish with a hairspray that contains shine elements. A great choice is Aquage Finishing Spray that you can find at Salon 01.

For example, the communications firm Global Tolerance doesn’t give employees vacation allowances. They just trust people to manage their time on and their time off in such a way that co-workers and clients aren’t disappointed. With a 40 percent per year growth rate for the last four years, this does not appear to have hurt them, Heffernan wrote, and it has provoked high levels of commitment. -www.bnet.com » Look into Murphy Oil? – Murphy Oil (MUR) is a midsize energy company with bold drilling campaigns in Malaysia, Suriname and Congo.

It intends to raise around $1 billion by selling refineries. -Forbes

Is an umbrella policy worth considering? COMMENTARY By Dena Shepherd Page Question from Michael M. from West Clay: My insurance agent is always trying to sell me an umbrella policy. Is this something I should consider adding? It just seems like an extra cost. Response from Dena Shepherd Page: Issues: It sounds like you have a good agent. I always encourage my clients to at least consider adding the extra layer of liability protection that an Umbrella/Catastrophe policy will add. An umbrella policy is really all about having the peace of mind in knowing you are protected. There are many ways to end up with an umbrella claim, but the most common claim is an auto accident involving multiple injuries and very costly medical bills. The other common claim is an incident on your property that results in injury. Medical and legal costs can eat up the underlying limits of your homeowners, auto, boat or motorcycle policy quickly. Your umbrella policy or your personal assets cover these costs when your policy limits are exhausted. Coverage Recommendations: This is definitely a topic you should discuss with your independent insurance agent to make sure you are protected by a level of coverage you are comfortable with. Most people should be pretty comfortable with a coverage limit of $1 million, but limits over $10 million are available if you are looking for higher limits. Claim Prevention: I don’t want to say that

umbrella claims are unpreventable, but they are the type of claims that happen no matter how prepared you are. Instead of talking about prevention this week, I want to show a couple of claim scenarios to illustrate how an umbrella policy will work. Scenario No. 1: The insured’s son was driving his car on a short road trip with a friend, the claimant. The car drifted off the road and into a phone pole when the son fell asleep at the wheel. The passenger was hospitalized for over a month with broken bones and internal injuries. The hospitalization was followed by some time in a wheelchair, but he was able to walk again after six months of physical therapy. This claim cost $800,000 with $300,000 coming from the auto limits and $500,000 coming from the umbrella limits. Scenario No. 2: The insured is having a summer barbeque and a guest steps off the edge of a retaining wall resulting in a spinal cord injury. He required multiple surgeries, an extended hospital stay and physical therapy. This claim cost $1.8 million with $1 million coming from the homeowner’s limits and $800,000 coming from the umbrella limits. Dena Shepherd Page is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

Going solo COMMENTARY By David Cain I threw a party recently and as a part of the program, I dropped by Costco to pick up some party supplies. Paper plates…check, food…check, Solo cups…check, adult drinks…double check. The Solo cups were the big plastic red ones – the SUV, gasguzzling versions of today’s more eco-friendly cups. For whatever reason I had a ton of them leftover and I’ve been working my way through the stacks. It is taking forever since they are reusable, providing for never-ending pillars of plastic. I started taking an ice-cold Solo cup of water for my drive to work. More water is good for the body and I’m looking to use up these cupboard-hogging cups so they are getting all types of use. I also pour a glass of water and take it to the park with the kids. I’ve noticed on both excursions the Solo cup is all kinds of stereotyped. Everywhere I go with one in hand, people notice. When it’s 8 am on Carmel drive and you roll up by the police at the stoplight and take a big healthy drink from your Solo cup, you get a stare. If it’s 8 pm on a Saturday night and the same moment occurs, you might get pulled over.

22 | August 16, 2011

I picked up a client in my car last week and he saw a pair of the big red cups on the floor of the backseat. He immediately said, “Have a big weekend?” Who knew, the Solo cup comes with such baggage? Who knew a big red cup says, “I’m partying!” I searched “Red Solo” on the Internet and a variety of blogs and Facebook pages show up. It appears the red Solo cup has a big following. It’s referred to as, “the trademark of college parties everywhere”. Branding, sometimes you control it and sometimes it controls you. Nowhere on the Solo website could you find anything about how useful this cup was at hiding alcohol on college campuses. I’ve now taken to only drinking out of my big red cups at home - I’m tired of the glares. Each time I take a drink I think of how a brand can be reshaped by its market. With every gulp, I’m reminded of how a brand’s recognition drives sales. And, with some drinks, I remember my college years.

DISPATCHES » Skype on iPads – Skype, The popular web-based calling service announced last Tuesday that an app optimized for Apple’s tablet computers is now available. Before, users could use the Skype iPhone app, which has been available since New Year’s Eve 2010, on the iPad, but it wasn’t optimized for the tablet’s screen size and features. The app allows audio calls on the original iPad and video calls on the iPad 2, which has two cameras. iPad 2 users can conduct two-way video calls with other iPads and users of the iPhone app, phones with Skype for Android or Skype for Windows, and other devices with front-facing cameras.

If you’ve added music or other audio to your presentation, it may play flawlessly on your computer, but elsewhere leave you with the sound of silence. The best approach is to link to the audio file in a way that eliminates all path issues. Before inserting any sounds into your slideshow, create a separate folder for your presentation. Put the PowerPoint file there, along with any audio files that you’ll be using. (If you’re playing songs from your audio library, be sure to copy--rather than move--the files. Otherwise, you’ll have trouble enjoying them later.) -www.pcworld.com

The best addition to your landscaping COMMENTARY By Mark Skipper If you’re looking to liven up your landscaping, consider adding a custom built water feature. Getting inspired by fountains, boulders, containers and water gardens can truly make a big splash. A water feature is any indoor or outdoor décor that incorporates water. From a small tabletop fountain or container water garden to a large commercial lake or retention pond. . . the possibilities are endless. Water features can be made out of almost everything. I have had customers bring me ceramic pots or family items to convert them into their very own custom water feature. We recently converted an old antique water pump on a farm into a dramatic water oasis. We love these challenges! Enhanced landscaping improves property value, and water features make your property stand out from the rest. The sound of a water feature will drown out noise from traffic, neighbors and barking dogs. In addition, water features provide an interesting backdrop for entertaining while adding aesthetic appeal to your landscape. Waterfront property is a prized commodity and you can easily incorporate water into your outdoor living space without having to move near a lake or ocean. The two main benefits of an outdoor water feature are: Tranquility – Water features provide soothing sights and sounds that help you relax and destress in today’s busy world. Lower your blood pressure and improve your physical and mental

After a long hard day of work, the ambiance created by the “effect” can be the most tranquil moment of the day. Sitting on the patio with your beverage of choice watching water splash and move within your personal water feature is extremely soothing. Sound – the sound of water can create the perfect “barrier” against the sounds of the world. We call this the “Splash Factor”. The more splash, the more effect and the more WOW! According to a new study by the National Association of Realtors, “Nearly 20 percent of buyers say they consider landscaping to be a ‘very important’ factor in their decision to buy a house.” (Wall Street Journal. Selling Houses by the Yard. Aug. 17, 2007).

Not to mention… COMMENTARY By Dick Wolfsie Some of the spam I receive on a regular basis is for products I can’t mention in this column. Recently, I’ve had a few emails about unmentionables, and I’d like to mention those: Bra Wonder, Super Bra and my favorite, Bra Genie. It was odd to get so many of these in a week. Manufacturers have all kinds of ways to target their message to the appropriate market. So why was a regular guy like me getting stuff like this? I tried red flagging key words so this type of advertising would go directly to my spam folder, but all it did was block a really good coupon for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Sadly, while discussing this issue with friends, I found it impossible to avoid immature plays on words. I would say things like: who are the boobs sending me this junk? I was very disappointed in myself, but there is nothing more alluring than easy puns, and I am weak. I did want to know why these ads were flooding my inbox, so I called my techie friend and told him I had this problem that was staring me smack in the face. (See? I can’t help myself.) He responded, “Okay, Dick, it sounds like you need some support.” “Oh no, Kevin, now you’re doing it.” It was time to figure this out myself. And I finally did. Two months ago I wrote an essay about taking up weightlifting late in life. Here’s what I said: “My wife mentioned to me the other night that I had a pathetic looking chest.”

The column appeared in this newspaper and in my blog, and then probably ended up in the search engines. But apparently my wife’s observation about my “decrepit looking chest” found its way to brassiere makers, who selected me from a database of everyone unhappy with their upper half. Before I wrote this column, I printed out all the spam ads so I could read them more carefully. When Mary Ellen was poking around my office looking for an envelope she saw the material on my desk and assumed that either I thought she needed a Bra Genie or I wanted to wear one myself. You can see that neither alternative was going to lead to a conversation a husband was eager to have. Then to make matters worse, some computer software programs couldn’t distinguish between “dissatisfied with your upper half ” and “unhappy with your better half,” which meant I got a slew of ads for do-it-yourself divorce kits. When I explained to Mary Ellen why I was getting spammed, I admitted that I had looked at several of the bra ads, but at least I had stopped making childish puns. It was good to get all that off my chest.
