OUR VIEWS

It is our position that, as a community, we must remain vigilant with how our pets affect our good neighbors. Certainly, dogs bark. And, too, cats roam. Yet, can it be fair to require those in proximity to endure such natural behaviors unfettered? As pet owners we carry a heightened responsibility to attend to the potential inconveniences our domesticated animals bring into the lives of others. Basic needs like the cleanup and disposal of waste must be taken seriously and treated as personal obligations. While Hamilton County’s extensive trail system is attractive to many recreational users, pet owners must attend to the waste created by their pets. In fact, the Monon Trail even provides plastic bags and trashcans. Unfortunately, many fail to take advantage of these provisions leaving behind an unpleasant surprise for a fellow outdoors person. While we are fans of our furry friends, we feel compelled to remind our fellow pet owners that they, not their neighbors, chose to add Fido to the family. Therefore, the neighbor should not be extensively affected by its habits. If unable to care for one’s own pet or if negatively affected by a neighbor’s, help can be found at www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov/services. asp?id=7160.

Be informed

It is our position that it is both a right and a responsibility to cast an informed vote each Election Day. Government office holders serve at the pleasure of us citizens. If, after becoming thoroughly familiar with the issues, one concludes that the affairs of government are being conducted in accordance with our wishes, we should give serious consideration to vote to re-elect those in power. If we conclude that the current direction of our democracy necessitates a correction, we might search out qualified candidates to replace those public officials responsible for the errors of the past. Regardless of any previous political party affiliation, we voters must educate ourselves on the important issues and structures. Isn’t it is the individual’s responsibility to decide how to vote and to not be unduly influenced by vocal advocates such as political action committees, big business, union officials, clergy, relatives and most of all political endorsements? As Nov. 2 approaches as eligible voters we must make plans to cast our ballot and see to it that we are as informed as possible to exercise our right to help select public officials for the next two to six years.

coaches dress like the players. Imagine Pacers coach Jim O’Brien on the sideline in baggy basketball shorts and a jersey. Or the Colts’ Jim Caldwell at the 50, dressed in tight football pants and shoulder pads. Baseball managers haven’t always worn uniforms. In the early days, the manager was regarded much like a team executive, and dressed as such in a suit. As the player-manager movement flourished in the first half of the 20th Century with greats like Ty Cobb, John McGraw, Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby, the switch gradually was made to uniforms for convenience. With the prominent exception of holdout Connie Mack, who managed the Philadelphia A’s for 49 years wearing his signature suit and straw hat until he retired in 1950, major league managers have dressed in uniforms ever since -- despite the fact that there hasn’t been a player/ manager since Pete Rose in the 1986. So, now you’re a little wiser. Batter up!

Commentary By Zach Dunkin You probably have noticed we don’t write much about sports in your Current. Our reader research indicates that narratives on balls and strikes and TD passes are low on the list of interests for you. But being a huge baseball fan, I would be remiss to not write something about my favorite time of the sports calendar -- when the Boys of Summer become the Men of October. Major league baseball playoff time. We also follow this code at Current: make the reader healthier, wealthier and wiser. This one fits the “wiser” part of that triple-play. Itching for a playoff tuneup recently, I took my wife and son to see the playoff-bound Reds play in their Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. As is almost inevitable with every sporting event we attend, my wife usually has a question or six, and I usually have the answers, which is rare in other situations. “Why,” she asked, looking at a rather hefty coach on third base, “do baseball coaches wear uniforms” A darn good question, sweetheart. After all, baseball is the only major sport where the er

I know we’re all shocked, absolutely stunned, by this revelation: “Audit cites ‘unethical’ hiring of former postal employees.” That was the headline in The Washington Post last week. Let’s take a look, shall we? The recent study found that some former Postal Service executives who returned as contract workers made twice what they earned as employees. The report found other problems, such as poor record keeping of no-bid contracts, and that the Postal Service pays more for employee health and life insurance benefits than other federal agencies do. It’s simply ludicrous that they’re able to get away with this nonsense.

We have stated this before with regard to painful personnel cuts by Hamilton County government, and now we must revisit the subject on the heels of the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District’s public plea to leave it unscathed in budget cuts by the Hamilton County Council. The council deemed SWCD as being “non-essential,” and that means it’s likely one of the three positions it currently holds will be eliminated in the 2011 budget year. We assume the pressure of gutting a budget in order to make everything balance is no easy chore. Something has to give. This is yet another case where the council seems to have taken more of a private-sector approach – long overdue in government at any level – and it may well mean a 25-percent staff reduction at the agency. We appreciate the council’s diligence in making the bottom lines come together. It should be noted and understood that the SWCD also has pledged to make a difference, were it able to retain the position, by eliminating funding the next two years for program expenses, mileage, vehicle expense, and part-time workers for a budget reduction of 11 percent. In the end, it may not be enough. •••

Mom needs her fantasy football COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I’m sad. For the last several years my husband and I have been in a fantasy football league together. My team never finished higher than third, but I learned a ton about football and enjoyed putting the hurt on Doo’s pathetic team. Due to a lack of interest this year, however, we decided to disband the Wilson X League, may she rest in peace. I didn’t think it would bother me: I mean, seriously, I’ve got enough on my plate right now without worrying about getting my line-up set in time. But to my surprise, I actually miss the darn thing. I feel like a small, shoddy raft adrift on the vast NFL ocean come Sunday (and Monday night and Thursday night and the occasional Saturday). I no longer have interest in what my boy Brees is up to or whether my go-to running back is off the IR. It doesn’t really matter if the 49’ers are on a bye or if my defense is going up against the Colts.

Who cares that my bench outscored my starters by forty points? Not me, because I don’t have a bench or an IR list or even a defense to lead to a Manning slaughter. Doo and my football-crazed son, who interestingly enough hates to play football but suffers pigskin withdraw symptoms every February, participate in another league and so still chat stats 24/7. Point in fact: as I’m writing this column on a Sunday morning they are already discussing the possible repercussions of the Monday night game. I want to jump in, but I don’t really know whom they are talking about. Sigh. So what to do? Sure, I’ll still follow the Colts, but they are but one team in a colorful and fascinating football nation of thirty-two. They don’t have an Ocho Cinco or a T.O. or even a player with a cool name like Jericho Crotchery. And it’s too late to start my own league this fall. I have commandeered by husband’s attention somewhat by suggesting that we watch every

movie on the 2007 American Film Institute’s Top 100 Films of All Times. So we’ve spent several evenings since Labor Day with Orson Wells “Citizen Kane”, Dustin Hoffman “The Graduate”, Peter O’Toole “Lawrence of Arabia”, and Humphrey Bogart “Casablanca”. But honestly, with the exception of maybe Bogart and the very dreamy Paul Newman in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” (by the way, it is not on the list) which I’d accidentally confused with “Some Like It Hot” (number 22 on the list), I’d rather be watching Mark Sanchez, Aaron Rodgers, and though it pains me to say this, gulp, Tom Brady. So it’s decided, next year I’m back. This Mom needs a fantasy! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Does she or doesn’t she? She doesn’t – no poo! Commentary By Krista Bocko I’ve given up shampoo. Yep, I’ve gone hardcore hippie. It actually took me a couple of years from when I first learned about going what some call “no-poo” to make the leap, but true to my I-must-question-everything nature, I did some reading about shampoo and conditioner and the reasons to not use them made a lot of sense. Regular shampoos generally contain sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), which is not a soap but a detergent. As such, it strips the natural oils from hair. This is where conditioner comes in, to replace the oils that were stripped out. Since the SLS detergents are harsh, the scalp works overtime to replace the natural oils and hair gets oily quickly, meaning, you guessed it, you feel like you need to wash your hair daily or it will drive you crazy. And it’s a vicious cycle. Not for me, not any more! I finally tried not using shampoo. I basically use the following:

Dr. Bronner’s liquid castile soap, which is very gentle and doesn’t strip oil, baking soda, and apple cider vinegar. I love it a whole lot. I use a little bit of castile soap, lather it in and add some baking soda. (By the way, baking soda is a mild abrasive, and great for getting rid of product build-up.) Then I rinse that out and use about ¼ of a cup of vinegar diluted with warm water to equal a cup or so, work it into my hair, and rinse well. That’s it! It works really well for me, and as a bonus, it’s another way to stick it to the Man. I don’t need their artificially scented shampoos and conditioners, thank you very much, and I save money and am treading more lightly on the earth by saying no, thanks.

No butts about it, flicking smokes from your car really fires me up Commentary By Leslie Webber I tend to become easily annoyed while driving, and it this instance I’m not even talking about any of my passengers. I don’t like it when people drive slowly in the left lane, otherwise known as “the passing lane” for a reason, I might add. It chaps me when someone changes lanes without signaling. I once even went so far as to confront someone at a stoplight who was driving with a baby on her lap. The thing that really sends me over the edge is watching someone flick a cigarette butt out the window. I find this unfathomable on several levels. First of all, if you want to smoke it’s certainly your right to do so. Just keep the mess in your car. The same people who would never dream of tossing a candy bar wrapper out the window, all too casually toss a still-smoldering cigarette out as though the street is their ashtray. The cigarette doesn’t just disappear because it vanished from the car.

I was sitting at a stoplight downtown last week, and the driver in front of me rolled down his window, and unceremoniously, flicked his cigarette onto the street. I fumed for two reasons. The city of Noblesville works hard to maintain a picturesque downtown. I doubt a sidewalk littered with someone’s bad habit is the look they’re going for. Secondly, in case the guy in front of me hadn’t heard, we’ve had a dry year. Farm fields look like they could burst into flames without notice. Instead of the vibrant color we normally see, the tree line near our house looks like a row of torches waiting to be lit. What on earth would make someone think it’s acceptable to throw a fire starter out a window? Kindly keep your butts in the car.

It seems to be all about appearance nowadays COMMENTARY By Brenda Alexander Recently, Bill Clinton stated that “…we may be entering a sort of period in politics that’s sort of fact- free….” This comment resonated with me because I have felt for a long time that we live in a post-fact era where substance and reality have been replaced with image and appearance. Consider three areas of our lives: entertainment, government, and education. The entertainment industry portrays “reality” as a forced and artificial living arrangement wherein strangers cohabitate and compete with each other for astronomical amounts of money that have no correlation with skill sets and wages in the real world. In government, intentions are more important than results. In the recent overhaul of healthcare, we are beefing up health coverage rather than focusing on real improvement of the actual health of Americans. Insurance cannot provide doctors to heal you or facilities to test you or the medicines and procedures that cure you. Does home insurance buy a home? What happens if there are no construction workers (doctors) or materials (medicines and proce-

dures) to rebuild your home (health) after the tornado or fire (illness or accident)? Insurance isn’t real unless it gets you what you need. In education, tests like ISTEP purportedly ensure students are being taught state standards. Training students to take the test consumes teaching resources, potentially replacing instruction of the very standards being tested, potentially harming the student. ISTEP provides little of value to parents or teachers, who know within weeks - without the benefit of the test scores - which children in the class are lagging. All so politicians can appear to be doing something to improve education. This smoke and mirrors is driving average Americans to seek out the genuine and the real. It’s part of the movement to eat locally grown foods and plant vegetable gardens. But unlike food for the stomach, food for the mind is in the hands of the image makers and their postfact portrayal.

Abandoned cemeteries in disrepair with little money budgeted to fix them By Darla Kinney Scoles Current in Noblesville Heading out on the rural back roads of northern Hamilton County, our caravan of two – led by Jackson Township Trustee Joe Robbins – turns left off Whistler Road onto a grass lane snuggled between what had been tall rows of Indiana corn the day before. Now, the corn has been harvested, making the lane passable, but still no easier to pick out of the agricultural landscape. I make a mental note: “Turn left at brick home with tire swing.” As we drive directly through a farmer’s field I am relieved that Robbins is filling in for the Arcadia Police Marshal and is escorting my jeep in a marked police car. Farmers don’t take too kindly to folks driving through their fields. Robbins continues our expedition to Forkner Cemetery along the woods over tall weeds and corn stubble before stopping at the end of that wooded section. “It’s back in here,” he offers, gesturing toward a tree-shadowed area that indeed, upon closer inspection, houses a small cemetery of about 24 stones. These souls, with names like Sumner, Rutter, Sinclair, Lister, Forkner and Mendenhall, lived in this very area many years ago, perhaps, tilling the same soil. Their final resting place, once certainly a trimmed and proper burial ground, has since become lost in farm fields. Affiliated with no church, owned by no current family resident, and nestled among acres and acres of private property, this cemetery has been declared “abandoned.” No one takes responsibility for its care, except Robbins. For 10 years now, local township trustees have been charged

www.youarecurrent.com

with the care and upkeep of abandoned cemeteries within their jurisdiction, including the restoration of deteriorating grave markers. Joe Robbins takes this charge seriously and since taking office three years ago has worked to improve these neglected plots. In Forkner Cemetery alone, he has removed a fallen tree and ramshackle fence, cleared brush and mowed the area, planting better grass in place of the weeds that had taken over. Even more work has been done in nearby Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, which sits along a paved road. “They lived here once,” states Robbins. “We need to show them the dignity they deserve.” Robbins has utilized Boy Scouts and the County Probation Department to accomplish some work, logging 800 hours of free labor last year alone. And yet, in Forkner as well as in places like Mt. Pleasant Cemetery and Carey Cemetery near Purgatory Golf Club in Noblesville, there are damaged, fallen and misplaced stones a-plenty. Many more are barely or no longer legible. “It’s very hard to keep up with the older cemeteries and the old stones on our limited budget,” admits Robbins. “We put in our budget request for restoration work, but in the end it’s the state’s final determination.” That restoration work can be pricey and must be done by DNR-certified professionals, like Lorraine Doty and Timothy Moore of Graveyard Guardians in Noblesville. Doty and Moore have done estimates for several trustees in Hamilton County, but most of their work has been in Tippecanoe County where they have restored or reset over 3500 tombstones.

“We constantly have people approach us and ask, ‘Can you do something about this old cemetery?’” stated Doty. “But we can’t until township and county governments make budgeting for restoration work a priority.” The current game plan is “slow and steady wins the race” with modest amounts of progress made each year. The problem is, the elements work at a faster pace, eroding and degrading the stones faster than the trustees can garner the funds or free labor to save them. An annual budget as small as $10,000 would “do wonders,” says Doty. “Yet, many in government do not see this as a priority,” she says. “But most residents do. People need to contact their government leaders and make sure this becomes a priority.”

Bottom line, girls: leggings are not the same as pants Commentary By Jenna Larson It’s my hope that people are aware of at least one thing in today’s society: it’s generally a good rule of thumb to wear pants. Or, at least a dress or shorts or something of the type to sufficiently cover ones bottom half – particularly, the upper bottom half. I thought it was obvious. Ladies, I’ve been noticing a rather disturbing trend the past couple of weeks. Let me be the one to tell you flat out: leggings do not suffice as pants. Sorry, girls, it’s true. To me, wearing leggings paired with nothing more than a T-shirt or a sweater is just plain unacceptable. Proper attire? Not quite. Don’t get me wrong. Leggings look perfectly fine under a dress or skirt of reasonable length. They do the job of tights without the whole awkward-trapped-feet issue. I’m not trying to hate on leggings. My complaint? Fabric that thin and nearly transparent should never be used in lieu of pants. Ever. It’s…well, it’s just kinda gross. Not to mention, since when is completely neglecting a major facet of daily clothing excusable? Girls at school get busted for “too short” shorts and skirts, but not for donning nothing but leggings and a tank top? This isn’t just an issue at school, though. Oh no. It’s everywhere. The other day, I was at the Michigan-IU football game in Bloomington, standing in a concession line. What do I see in front of me? Two young women with Michigan T-shirts, flip flops…and leggings. Just leggings. Both of them. I was appalled. They weren’t even high school students. They were legitimate adults! So, ladies, what do you say? I understand the appeal behind leggings, but how about some form of appropriate clothing for your bottom half to complement them instead of being too lazy to add another layer, thus leaving nothing to the imagination? Ladies, let’s put an end to this trend.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; without his coat of many colors? By Zach Dunkin Current in Noblesville Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about The Coat. After all, as director Elaine Wagner points out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the title of the show.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Wagner insisted on having a brilliant, showstopping coat for her Joseph in the production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,â&#x20AC;? opening Oct. 15 at the Noblesville First United Methodist Church. Even though this is the third time for the church to stage the popular Andrew LloydWebber/Tim Rice creation, Wagner didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to recycle any of the previous rainbow-colored coats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Joseph is taller and more muscular than the previous Joseph, and I wanted the coat to flow,â&#x20AC;? said Wagner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted it to be prominent. I wanted it to be beautiful. The coat is a must. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marilyn Dearman has made a gorgeous coat for Joseph to wear.â&#x20AC;? (Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: The coat was not available to photograph at press time). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoatâ&#x20AC;? is a British musical based on the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;coat of many colorsâ&#x20AC;? story of Joseph from the Hebrew Bibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book of Genesis. The show was first presented as a 15-minute pop cantata at a school in London in 1968. Many transformations and expansions, and West End and Broadway productions later, it was adapted as a film, starring Donny Osmond, in 1999. Osmond also starred as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Josephâ&#x20AC;? in a long-running production in Chicago. According to the Really Useful Group, more than 20,000 schools and amateur theatre groups have successfully put on productions. It has very little spoken dialogue and is sungthrough almost completely by its cast and a chorus, which one would think would be a dream assignment for a veteran voice and piano coach like Wagner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The singing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the problem as much as the timing is,â&#x20AC;? explained Wagner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In every play the timing is critical, but with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Joseph,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like opera which is different than anything I have ever directed.â&#x20AC;? Although Wagner has never directed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joseph,â&#x20AC;? she has seen the show numerous times, including once in London and in Chicago, starring Donny Osmond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resembles Donny Osmond,â&#x20AC;? said Wagner, who has directed several plays over three decades, including eight at The Belfry Theatre in Noblesville since 2002. Kyle Hensley of Noblesville portrays the Jo-

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat When: 7:30 p.m. Oct . 15-16 and Oct. 22-23 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 17 and Oct. 24. Where: Noblesville First United Methodist Church, 2051 Monument St. Tickets: $5 for ages 5-15, $10 for senior citizens and $12 for adults. Group rates available by call 317.773.9512.

seph character in this production. The comedic Pharaoh will be played by Noblesvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mark Tumey, a familiar face at the Belfry, and The Narrator is Julie Buck, wife of Pastor Jeff Buck at Emmanuel United Methodist Church. The mostly-adult cast is accompanied by a choir of 35 local elementary school children. The children are out of the spotlight most of the show but Wagner is directing them onstage for one song in which they surround Joseph and his colorful coat, and Joseph and The Narrator will sing to them several times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The children are going to be more prominent in this show,â&#x20AC;? said Wagner, who has a handful of her own students in the choir. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to hear their voices; they sound like angels.â&#x20AC;?

Âť Janus tickets still available â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Janus Developmental Services will host its annual fundraising event, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Night with the Stars,â&#x20AC;? Oct. 23 at the Oak Hill Mansion, 5801 E. 116th St., Carmel. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event theme will be set in a 40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s/ 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swanky nightclub atmosphere with dinner, dancing, and entertainment from the Starry Knights Big Band and the Sands Trio, a tribute to Sammy Davis, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; three members of the infamous Rat Pack. A cocktail reception from 6 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. will be followed by a dinner. Cost for the event is $100 per ticket. Sponsorships for the event are available for $200 to $5,000.

Bamboo not only earth-friendly but kitchen-friendly, too COOKING By Jennifer Jacobi Bamboo is the new wood and has become a viable resource in today’s society. It is the fastest growing plant on earth (up to 18 inches per day) and has the ability to re-generate itself every 3-5 years, so there is no need for replanting. It has quite an amazing resume and so many wonderful benefits that it is now used to make thousands of useful products like furniture, musical instruments, art utensils, paper, food, towels and even floors. In fact, it might be easier to compile a list of what bamboo cannot be used for than what it is used for. Wooden spoons and bowls are a step back into our Grandma’s kitchen. Bamboo has become quite the rage for many products and simply enough there are great varieties of cooking utensils and serving bowls to use in your kitchen and add a rich look to your table. When working with wooden spoons or serving salads and desserts in your wooden bowls you might have found that over the years yours have stained, cracked or split. This is what naturally happens with wood. Because it is so durable, bamboo products will not crack or split, keeping your utensils free from areas that bacteria finds to harbor and then

multiply. Bamboo doesn’t absorb moisture, making it perfect for dipping oils and juicy foods. It looks beautiful and is wonderful to serve up chips, cookies and muffins as well. Cooking utensils such as spoons and spatulas made from this earth-friendly resource will not scratch your cookware and resist staining, so feel free to grab for a bamboo spoon the next time you are stirring your spaghetti sauce in your non-stick or stainless cookware.

River cruises offer variety in sights, tastes at a base fare TRAVEL By Tracy Line For me, the hardest part of my job is containing myself as I search vacation destinations for clients. There are so many places I long to see … trips I want to take. Currently topping my list? A European river cruise. Apparently I’m not alone. A recent article in Budget Travel noted sailings by river cruise have increased 60 percent since 2004. This year over 215,000 Americans will board a riverboat, the majority sailing through Europe. River cruises offer a unique way to see beautiful scenery, sample gourmet cuisine and explore foreign cultures. If a river cruise is on your vacations-to-take list, consider the following: • Intimate atmosphere. Riverboats accommodate anywhere from 50 to 250 passengers. Service is more personalized, and the staff is likely to call you by name. Passengers tend to get to know one another quickly. • All-inclusive prices. Unlike cruise ships, river cruises include excursions, expert travel guides and alcoholic beverages in the base price. Once you’ve paid your fare, you can close your wallet and enjoy. • Limited entertainment. Riverboats

don’t have the bells and whistles of the mega ships. There are no casinos, disco lounges or Vegas-type shows. Instead entertainment may include dancing, singing performances or movies. Most one-week cruises include 7-10 stops. You’ll see a great deal onshore and relax while onboard. • Close quarters. Cabins are tiny, but welldesigned. Many have floor-to-ceiling glass doors for optimal viewing of the scenery. Not all have television, so, if it’s important, check deck plans before you book. • Prices vary. The larger riverboats tend to be the most affordable. Fares run around $200 per person per day. Travel in the off-season (late autumn-spring) and you might get a two-for-one excursion rate. Popular riverboat cruise operators include Viking, Uniworld, Avalon Waterways and AMA Waterways. For details on river cruising, contact a travel agent or river cruise operator directly.

Lowery Organ’s premier player helps Lambert’s celebrate first anniversary By Ashley Wilson Current in Noblesville Your song is his song. That’s the way organist extraordinaire Seth Rye looks at it. Whenever Rye performs in concert across the U.S. as a representative for Lowery Organ, he begins with an opening song of his choice. From then on, the set list belongs to the audience. “I try to let different types of people request a song,” said Rye, during a recent phone interview. “Normally, my audiences are so mixed I can play just about anything, but I try to please as many as I can in a single performance.” Rye will be doing just that when he performs for Lambert’s Music Center’s first anniversary celebration Oct. 14 with a pair of concerts at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. In addition to the Rye performances, there will be snacks and door prizes. Owned by Phil and Judy Lambert, the Noblesville store at 573 Westfield Blvd. has been open since last Oct. 15. It is Hamilton County’s center for LIFE, an acronym for Lowery Is Fun and Exciting, a program designed to

spread music in assisted living groups and the elderly community. Their first store in Anderson, which has been open since Oct 2, 2006, is the largest LIFE club in the United States. “I have known Judy since her first month in the music business,” said Rye. “She’s done so well for herself. She’s worked for it. She bought the store. You’ve got to give her credit for all her accomplishments.” Rye is an accomplished organist, as well as comedian, with over 30 albums to his credit. He also wrote the music to Walt Disney’s wellknown Electric Light Parade. A self-taught musician, Rye has been playing the organ since age five, due to his father’s career in ministry; although he stressed playing the organ does not go hand-in-hand with a church or a funeral. Instead, he prefers to play popular songs by artists such as Michael Buble. Relative to his comedy, Rye says, “I do not tell jokes. I play and I have fun with the audience. It’s not a church concert, so I won’t make it one.” Rye uses video cameras on both his hands and his feet in concert. He says his shows vary

Get a leg up on a cool fall with roasted lamb, vegetables and red wine RECIPES By Molly Herner Early October’s sudden onset of cold weather inspires winter warming dishes in my kitchen. Any slow-roasted meat is a fabulous idea for an easy meal on a cool day. Give yourself plenty of time to prepare this dish because roasted deliciousness can’t be rushed. The lamb is done when you say so. If you like it rarer, remove it from the oven earlier.

Be sure to trim some of the excess or thick fat from the lamb. You don’t want a fatty roasted lamb. Enjoy with a bold Cabernet or a rich, earthy Chianti,

TUMBLE, DANCE, CHEER and KARATE!

Keep the kids active, healthy, and happy! FREE Racquetball for Juniors also available!

Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary, Vegetables and Red Wine Ingredients • One leg of lamb (the larger the leg, the longer roasting time you will need.) • 5 cloves garlic, whole • 1 Spanish onion, quartered • 3 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed • Fresh rosemary • Olive oil • 1 cup red wine (Chianti or merlot works well) • Salt/pepper Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2. Trim some of the excess or thick fat from the lamb. Depending on the weight of the leg,

take 2 to 3 1/2 hours to cook through. Check the meat after 1 1/2 hour to see how rare it is; if the juices still run bloody, check it every additional 1/2 hour for clearer juices. 3. Season the meat with olive oil, salt and pepper and place it in a large oven safe pot with lid, preferably ceramic.Pour the wine directly over the meat into the pot. The wine ensures a juicy final product. 4. Add all chopped vegetables, whole garlic and whole sprigs of fresh rosemary into the pot and cover. 5. Allow the roast to cook uncovered for at least 1 1/2 hours before you check it. When the lamb is finished the vegetables will be tender and roasted as well.

how to train your dragon

PG, 98 minutes

Photo courtesy DreamWorks Animation.

Hiccup (Jay Baruschel) befriends Toothless, an injured Night Fury dragon, in “How to Train Your Dragon.”

DVDs By Chris Lloyd Don’t get me wrong, “Toy Story 3” was terrific. But for my money, the best animated film so far in 2010 was “How To Train Your Dragon.” This marvelous computer-animation effort from DreamWorks combined exciting action sequences with slightly subversive humor, wrapped in a subtle life-lessons subtext about overcoming disability. Jay Baruchel provides the voice of Hiccup, a wimpy teenage Viking who’d rather tinker with gizmos than fight the plague of dragons that constantly attack his village. But when your old man is the battle-scarred chieftain (Gerard Butler), your future is pretty much laid out for you. Hiccup reluctantly enrolls in Dragon Training class, learning how to combat the various

types of dragons breathing fire, spitting noxious gas and spewing lightning bolts. But his real education comes when he befriends a wounded dragon he dubs Toothless, and learns they’re not the mindless killers his people have made them out to be. Directed by Dean DuBlois and Chris Sanders, the same team behind “Lilo & Stitch,” “Dragon” is the sort of smart, sassy kiddie flick that parents secretly slip into the video player after the children have gone to bed. Grade: A-minus Read more of Chris Lloyd’s review of current films and DVD’s at www.captaincritic.blogspot.com or www.TheFilmYap.com.

the one Katie Holmes has been seen wearing lately? The key to achieving these waves is to build a good foundation, which will help the hair not fall flat. Apply a styling

DISPATCHES » Avoid fast food salads for diets – McDonald’s Premium Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken contains 890 mg of sodium—more than half the recommended daily limit. And that’s without the Caesar dressing, which can pile on another 500 mg. Select the low-fat Italian and it’s even 30 percent higher. In these ready-to-go salads, the worst part is usually the chicken, which is often cooked in a high-sodium marinade for flavor and may also be injected with a sodium solution to keep the meat moist. Smarter choice: Skip the entrée salad and go for the burger with a garden salad on the side. A McDonald’s plain hamburger has 520 mg of sodium (250 calories, 9 g fat); add the side salad (20 calories, 0 g fat, 10 mg sodium). -Prevention » Burn off your breast cancer risk – Moderate exercise such as brisk walking two hours a week cuts risk of breast cancer 18 percent. Regular workouts may lower your risks by helping you burn fat, which otherwise produces its own estrogen, a known contributor to breast cancer. -www.prevention.com

Think enzymes for a longer, healthier life

HEALTH By Carol Rossetti, N.D. Enzymes are the chemical workhorses of the body. Enzymes make every biochemical reaction in the body possible. Without enzymes we couldn’t digest our food or activate our immune system to ward off an infection. These guys are energy -- sparkplugs for activating the various functions of the body and without them there is no life. Now, here is the key secret: the human body will wear out faster if it has to make all of its own enzymes. That’s right. If we are not getting a good supply of enzymes through our diet, our body loses vitality and becomes weaker. Can we consider enzymes an anti-aging product? Absolutely. Processed foods contain enzyme inhibitors so the product will have extended self life; it will not digest itself. If you feed yourself enough enzyme inhibitors through processed food, you will age faster because your body is working so hard. If you are getting acid reflux, you need acid and you need enzymes. That is your first clue.

The products I use are Food Enzymes, Proactazyme Plus, Protease Plus and HiLipase. If you do not have a gallbladder, you must take HiLipase to help you digest the fats that your gallbladder used to do. Otherwise you will end up with high cholesterol -- - undigested fats and proteins in the blood. Dr. Edward Howell, who has written two books on enzymes, says that it is up to us to replenish our supply of enzymes to ensure that their vital jobs get done. If we don’t, we run the risk of ill health. In other words, the more enzymes you get, the healthier you live. Eat raw organic foods and take digestive enzymes to help ward off chronic and degenerative diseases. By ingesting enzymes from raw foods and supplements, the body does not have to work so hard and may last longer.

Sole-pleasing bathroom floor heat REMODELING By David Decker The average human foot has 75,000 nerve endings which, per family member, adds up to 150,000 good mid-winter reasons to put electric, controllable radiant heat under a ceramic tile or stone bathroom floor. Autumn is a great time to make the installation. While that “tile chill” feels great when the weather is warm, cold feet on a cold hard floor in winter is the opposite of cozy. As a unique home improvement, it is relatively easy to install sole-pleasing warmth in the room where most people have the highest likelihood of being barefoot on a bare floor. Electric radiant heat works well under tile or stone and is considered a supplemental heat, different from the primary hydronic, or water tube, floor heating which would be installed throughout a home. It was briefly fashionable some years ago to put carpet in bathrooms, but homeowners rapidly discovered that an absorbent material in an area prone to water, chemicals, hair, mold, mildew, etc., is difficult to clean and maintain. A hard bathroom floor surface makes more sense, and a heated hard surface provides not only additional comfort but actually fights mold and mildew. Upgrading to a heated bathroom floor in-

26 | October 12, 2010

volves both electrical and flooring work. Floor heat material can be put in for $10 per square foot and up, and considering the ongoing, daily proximity of water and wiring, the install, especially the electrical, should be done by professionals. The project involves removing the existing floor covering, prepping and installing proper subfloor, laying the custom-fit heating element, which looks like one of those foam under-rug anti-slip mats but with wiring like an electric blanket, liquid leveler, some wall wiring, a wallmounted digital thermostat, and choosing new bathroom ceramic, tile, slate or stone flooring. The job doesn’t take appreciably longer than just redoing the floor, and with 150,000 reasons to keep our feet happy, this is a crowd pleasing, sole satisfying improvement. David Decker is president of Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms, based in Carmel (877-252-1420, www. affordablekandb.com). Have a home improvement question? E-mail David at david.decker@affordablekandb. com, and he will answer in an upcoming column.

Forget about fall; hurry up winter GARDENING By Holly Lindzy All things good are entering into dormancy these days of fall…including me. You see, though most people think I’m crazy, I absolutely adore the winter. Hot, humid days and frizzy hair behind me, I look forward to bare trees and frosty windows. It won’t be long. Now, you think I’m crazy too, right? Well… There’s just something about a cozy fire and a legitimate reason to lie around. Coffee and a good book. Plus, I love how quiet the town becomes once the road is covered with snow. With birds flitting through the flakes and the animal tracks left behind…how can you not love winter? Besides that, I can be a totally lazy gardener during the winter. No watering chores or weeding to hassle with. Instead, I can flip through catalogs and dream of a better spring than last

year. Sounds better all the time, huh? And you know there are some birds that only show up in the winter, too. So, that’s something to look forward to as well. And you know how you can see houses in the winter that you can’t see normally because of the leaves? I love that! So, you see winter isn’t so bad, especially if you like a slower pace. And like most creatures, slowing down for the cold, we can relax a little, without the hustle and bustle of the warmer months. Just hope I don’t put on the winter weight of a squirrel or I’m going to have a busy spring.

Halloween isn’t what it used to be HUMOR By Mike Redmond Mr. Calendar has turned another page and we now find ourselves careening headlong toward Halloween, or the Halloween Season. I like Halloween. I really do. We’re talking a nearly unlimited supply of fun-size Milky Way bars. What’s not to like? I’m not sure however, that Halloween as it is practiced today is an improvement over the Halloweens of the Golden Age of Kidhood, the 1950s and 1960s. It was a Total Kid Holiday then, maybe the only one on the calendar. Christmas and the Fourth of July were good, but you had to share them with grown-ups. Halloween, however, was all about kids, or to be more specific: kids, costumes and loot. Back in the day, it was all about gangs of costumed kids roaming from house to house and extorting candy from the neighbors, and more. Before the razors in the apples panic, the bounty might include homemade cookies, fresh peanut brittle and caramel apples, and my favorite, popcorn balls. A good night’s take would fill a grocery bag and would contain examples of every item on your dentist’s most-hated list: the entire product lines of the Hershey, Mars, Hollywood, Peter Paul and Nestle companies, Tootsie Rolls in all sizes, taffy, licorice and lollypops, caramels and Cracker Jack, bubble gum cigars and candy cigS T E A L S

arettes. Properly hoarded and rationed, a good Halloween haul could carry you past Thanksgiving, in time for Christmas. And then there were costumes. Costumes were actually kind of problematic for me. As Mom lectured to us every Halloween, we weren’t one of those rich families that could afford to buy those Ben Cooper or Collegeville costumes-in-boxes every year. Mom made our costumes; apparently a hand-sewn Batman suit was superior to some flimsy store bought thing. Obviously, Mom did not know a thing about Halloween costumes. We also handed down our costumes. My first time trick-or-treating I had to wear my big sister’s old witch costume, complete with a skirt. I was so embarrassed I refused to lift my mask or even speak, lest anyone find out who I was. My sister took care of it, though, by informing one and all that her brother was wearing a girl costume. I accidentally got even with her, though. I peed my pants and she had to take me home early. She was furious. For that reason I still count it among the better Halloweens of my life.

DISPATCHES » Skip pet insurance? – Insuring your pet against accidents or illness is becoming popular. There's no doubt an ill pet can cost thousands while also causing emotional grief to your family. Depending on your pet (cat or dog), plans can range from $10 per month for limited accident coverage to $50 per month covering illnesses and accidents. But before spending money on pet insurance, run the numbers to see if your pet's insurance premium would be better off invested in a high interest savings account. -Yahoo! » The sedate debate – If your cat tends to stage noisy, anxiety-laden freak-outs during travel, tranquilizing the beast would obviously be the most humane thing for everyone involved, right? Well, not necessarily. "In general, I don't recommend it," said former American Veterinary Medical Association President Dr. Greg Hammer. The risks associated with sedating your cat could easily outweigh any positives. The best medicine is to get your cat acclimated to its crate, hopefully eliminating the need to sedate altogether. -www.pawnation.com

Black dog/cat syndrome PETS BY Rebecca Stevens Black dogs and cats tend to be harder to adopt out than their lighter coated counterparts animal shelters due to a phenomenon called Black Dog/Cat Syndrome. There has been much speculation regarding the reasons why these black beauties are overlooked and end up waiting longer for homes. For starters, black dogs and cats are harder to differentiate among the sea of faces in a filled kennel or cattery. The Humane Society for Hamilton County does its best to use little tricks like bright colored beds, blankets, collars and bandanas to help draw attention to the black dogs and cats. Additionally, black dogs are often viewed as looking scary or mean. Pop culture has taught us that the hero wears white, and the bad guy wears black, right? Black labs, for example, wait much longer for homes than yellow or chocolate labs. Logic tells us that the color of an animal’s coat is no indication of their temperament, but I believe human nature may draw our eyes away from these wonderful animals without us realizing it. And of course, there’s the superstition factor. Many people are too superstitious to give a black cat a place in their homes. After all, you will cross their paths at some point, right? Groucho Marx summed it up best when he said,

PETS OF THE WEEK Bella is a three-year-old female red and white Husky. Bella is absolutely gorgeous and she has a great personality...not to mention an award-winning smile. She is spayed, housetrained and crate trained. Bella is highly intelligent and needs a home with a six-foot privacy fence because she has figured out how to escape from any other fencing. She loves people but she isn’t fond of other dogs or cats, so she should probably be an only pet.

Black cat Sassy Jane awaits a new home.

“A black cat crossing your path merely signifies the animal is going somewhere.” The Humane Society for Hamilton County is discounting adoption fees for all black cats and kittens to $35, and black dogs (excluding puppies under 7 months) are just $55 during October.

Larissa is a two-year-old female calico DSH. Larissa is a very friendly and loving girl who arrived at the shelter pregnant. She had her kittens and also took in several other orphaned kittens nursed a total of 23 kittens earning her the title of Mother of the Year 2010. Larissa enjoys lots of attention, but she isn’t really fond of being held. She is now spayed and she is litter box trained and she can tolerate dogs, however she can be selective with other cats. Please consider giving Larissa a chance to be a happy family pet after all she has done to help save a lot of little ones so they could find loving homes. For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974 or go to www.hamiltonhumane.com
