Akard True Value to launch grand reopening Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com

The original opening was nearly 57 years ago. Since then, there’s been a move, an expansion and now, a grand reopening. Akard True Value just keeps plugging away. On Friday and Saturday, the Zionsville institution will debut its new modernized store design and merchandising layout, and the public is encouraged to participate. “We’re always looking for ways to better serve our customers,” says storeowner Leigh Ann Akard, a third-generation True Value employee who has overseen a nearly year-long effort to transform her Boone Village location. “The new design makes it easy for customers to find what they need,” she said. Despite no indication of declining sales or patronage, Akard said a True Value initiative on the corporate level, as well as a desire within the local staff, led to the decision to update the existing model. “We wanted to make sure we were still relevant,” she said. “True Value started a program recently to implement the best of what was occurring in specific stores everywhere, and (her staff) decided it was time to freshen up as well. It’s been a long process.” Akard and company members put in many hours to overhaul the store’s nearly 25,000 square feet. They added new equipment lines, changed fixtures and somehow managed to keep a dedicated customer base from getting lost in the maze of changes. “We’ve made it fun,” said Akard. “We’ll tease people about hid-

It’s about community involvement, pricing, going to market and buying what Zionsville needs. And, it’s about service.” During the two-day celebration, customers may enjoy free food, giveaways, product demonstrations and more. Those who wish to support a worthy cause are asked to bring in used electronics for recycling. The grand reopening runs from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.

During a time of year normally reserved for redbuds that eventually grow into greenery, Zionsville is about to get a dose of orange. Orange Leaf, that is. The self-serve yogurt chain just opened in Zionsville, 1474 W. Oak St. Zionsville’s Gregg Boeck owns the venture, one of dozens of Orange Leaf locations in various stages of construction around the nation. The chain boasts more than 130 stores, with many more set to open. Boeck, a salesperson by trade, feels he bought into the idea of operating an Orange Leaf at the right time. “I’ve been selling vascular prosthetics for 15 years,” he said. “That pays the mortgage, but my wife and I always look for things to help pay for our kids’ college.” A chance visit to the Westfield Orange Leaf last year caught Boeck’s attention. “It’s a cool concept,” he says of the do-it-yourself model, which allows customers to fill their cup with one of 16 flavors of yogurt and choose from 36 toppings, which they apply themselves. There are also sugar-free, gluten-free and lactosefree options. “It’s family-friendly, open and cheery. The growth of the company is trending upward, and fast. I thought it would be a neat business to have,” Boeck said. Zionsville’s Orange Leaf, which he envisions will employ between 18 and 22 people at all times, will be overseen by Boeck’s wife, Michelle. Gregg, who will maintain his career, plans to have a hands-off approach to the day-to-day aspect but adds, “I live a mile up the road, so I’ll always have a hand in it.” Boeck has been met with well-wishes and an overwhelmingly positive reaction to his venture – partly, he says, because of the power of word of mouth. “My kids were the marketing plan, quite frankly,” he says. “We didn’t tell them until the lease was signed, but after that, the floodgates opened. They’ve been bombarded with requests for applications and questions about when we open. I’ve been stopped on the street and at the mailbox and asked about it. The response has been nuts.”

This hardware and implement store, which later became Metzger’s Lumber Yard, stood on the southeast corner of Main and Pine streets. The building is now part of Bender’s Square.

The 2010 Zionsville High Isenbarger School graduate was also named second team all-conference by the media. The first-team honor was voted upon by the league’s 12 coaches. Isenbarger led the Phoenix with 14.5 points per game during the 2011-2012 season, which saw Elon compile a 15-16 record overall and a 9-9 mark in league play, good for runner-up in the conference. His 29.4 minutes per game and 87.1-percent effort from the free throw line also were team bests. Elon fell 83-67 to Davidson in a Southern Conference Tournament semifinal on March 4, ending its season.

ZHS GRADUATE NAMED HEAD SOCCER CHOICE – Nick Noel, a 2003 Zionsville High School graduate, has been named the head boys soccer coach at Lawrence North High School. Noel, a 2007 graduate of DePauw University, is teaching and coaching in Batavia, Ohio, and will return to the Noel Indianapolis area at the end of the school year. The former ZHS standout led Batavia High School to a 141-2 record this season, and earned Coach of the Year honors. A two-year letterman first at Ohio Wesleyan and later at DePauw, during his senior year as a Tiger, Noel was the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year and a first-team Academic All-American.

Action: The Zionsville Community Schools Board of Trustees learned at the March 12 meeting the State Board of Accounts has completed and released the audit for the school corporation. The district received a clean audit report with no audit findings related to management of funds, compliance with state and federal regulations or internal controls. What it means: The State Board of Accounts is the state’s official audit agency, and by law, performs an outside independent audit of the school district. The audit covered the time period from July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2011. “This report is the state of Indiana’s way of saying we are managing our finances well and are in full compliance with the highest fiscal standards for schools,” said Mike Shafer, district chief financial officer. The only audit finding throughout the district involved an elementary school extra-curricular account that had an inadvertent overdraft of $152 resulting from money deposited and spent from the wrong fund. The employee involved has been retrained. The auditors noted in their official report: “… This is not a recurring issue, and has been corrected in the period subsequent to the audit.”

What’s next: The School Board also received notice the members will vote at their April meeting to approve an interfund loan due to diminishing cash balances in the General Fund account used for direct classroom expenses. This will be the first time the district has had to employ an interfund loan to cover this expense due to a diminishing cash balance in the General Fund related to decreased state funding. The General Fund is prohibited by law from having a negative cash balance.

Plain talk

It doesn’t take a raging feminist Grammar Lesson by Brandie Bohney When I was in college, my own grammar guru used a grammar test in all of her classes. You had to pass the test at some point during the semester, or you failed the class. The test was about a style manual she wrote, and the manual contained more than one hundred rules for various grammatical issues. Several of the issues were, in my collegeminded opinion, stupid. Why was she so hung up about the use of hopefully as anything other than an adverb? Who needed to know what an anacoluthon was, anyway? What was her problem with lady? During the years since my graduation from college, however, I’ve come to determine she was right about almost every one of those rules: they are important for various reasons. And the lady rule smacked me right in the face a few weeks ago. So in honor of Women’s History Month, here’s my little lesson about grammatical chauvinism. The rule was (and is) about using lady as an adjective to describe just about any type of profession or activity: lady doctor, lady lawyer, lady singer, Lady Panther (for a sports reference). By adding the adjective, it seems as though the writer or speaker is trying to differentiate between a lady doctor and a regular doctor. It’s as

if the lady doctor is not a real doctor, per se, but instead a female pretender. At the time I was in college, I thought, “OK, I get it. It does sort of seem that way. But surely, no one means it that way. What’s the big deal?” It turns out it is a pretty big deal. And I found out by being referred to as a lady teacher. Not a teacher. Not an English teacher. A lady teacher. And somehow, the argument took on new meaning. Would the person who referred to me as a lady teacher have ever referred to one of my male colleagues as a gentleman teacher? No. No way. Men who teach are teachers to this person. Women who teach are lady teachers. And that’s a problem because it differentiates the job we do only by our gender. So let me just remind you: Women who are doctors, lawyers, singers, teachers or Panthers are just that. You can say, “My doctor is a woman,” but it would be best to avoid saying, “I see a lady doctor.” The connotation is ugly, even if you don’t mean it that way.

The science of feeling, looking and living beTTer.

A re you ready?

Zionsville residents provide food for body, soul Commentary by Donna Monday

From left, Barb Rockwood, Joy Greenwalt, Joy Flinn and Walt Wykes are pictured in the kitchen of Zionsville Methodist Church.

Joy Greenwalt, a 36-year resident of Zionsville, and cohorts Joy Flinn and Suzi Herring have been joyfully baking, brewing, sautéing and stewing together for more than 11 years. Joining them in more recent years are Barb Rockwood, Pat Fields and Walt Wykes. Calling themselves the Stovetop Shufflers, they meet twice a month at Zionsville Methodist Church. They create meals – usually an entrée, a soup and a dessert – to wrap, label and stash in the church freezer. The meals are free to those in need, and the cooks deliver when pickup is impossible. “I like to cook large quantities and freeze,” Flinn said. “I do that at home. My husband said that would be a good idea for a small group.” Fast forward more than a decade. The small group works together like family on Thanksgiving. Amid ovens baking, pots boiling, knives chopping and the clatter of dishes, they somehow move like dancers, getting the work done without running into one another. “The right hand knows what the left needs to do," said Flinn, who works as an oncology nurse. Karen Carichoff, a Shuffler client for 10 years, receives meals twice a month. A victim of rheumatoid arthritis, her illness and multiple surgeries since 1998 have left her without much energy for cooking. As for the Shufflers, Carichoff said, “I think theirs is one of the best ministries we have. Food is such a gift.” Lois Martin, a recipient after surgery last fall, agrees. “It is just wonderful. It's like gourmet food. And Suzi (Herring) even brought the stuff here one time.” In addition to food for the body, the Shufflers believe in food for the spirit. They hold devotions with most cooking sessions to help support each other and their clients emotionally and spiritually. As Carichoff puts it, “They not only feed us, they pray for us, too.” Now that’s what you call soul food.

Cover Story

Clay Terrace 2.0? – An American Structurepoint rendering of potential development on Zionsville Road, south of Ind.334.

IS THIS THE FUTURE? Opinions vary widely as to how our town should be developed By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com It’s no secret Zionsville is different. From its picturesque horse country to an affinity for the arts and the quaint, shop-laden Main Street, this Boone County treasure has separated itself – in form and function – from the sprawl that allows one to traverse the eastwest entirety of neighboring Hamilton County without seeing so much as a corncob. But at what cost comes differentiation? Zionsville’s troubles are few, but striking; that a lack of commercial development has crippled the town’s tax structure is news to no one, and it’s a crisis that has achieved top billing on Zionsville’s list of talking points. Development – and the methodology of that development – is not just an issue here; it is the issue. The main players in this saga are well-known to any Zionsville resident who keeps even an occasional ear to the rail these days, and revisiting them – the 1-percent property tax cap, the Town Council, the Economic Development Strategic Plan, among others – would be redundant. Instead, this report deals with the undercurrents, the whispers, the accusations and the dichotomy of perceived realities rampant in Zionsville today.

“The fear is they’re going to let the developers take over and do whatever the hell they want to do.” This is the rallying cry of a segment of Zionsville’s population – either large or small, depending on whom you ask – that feels threatened by the direction of the development push. 10 | March 20, 2012

Labeled by most of Zionsville’s development proponents as conspiracy theorists, this faction is not your average group of Zapruder enthusiasts who are determined to spread the word, facts be damned. Instead, for the most part, they are articulate and well-versed on the topic. One person in particular seems to be the leader of this group, and that person would speak with Current only under the promise of anonymity. For the purposes of this report, he shall be known as John Doe. “Town government is in a position to increase retail commercial development on a scope they’re not really telling people,” he says to open up a two-hour dialogue with Current on a late-winter day in a Village coffee shop. People shuffle in and out of the establishment in which we sit as morning turns to afternoon, but he pays them no mind. He is focused on overturning stones, big stones, to show what’s beneath. “Ten years ago, I remember talking to local politicians about picnics held by developers,” he says. “They’d invite everyone from the surrounding counties, and build relationships to further their cause for development. Carmel blew up, and during that entire time, they wanted to do the same to Zionsville. “The reason Zionsville hasn’t is it had a group of conscientious people who ran for office and protected the town. Developers would come in with grandiose plans, and the (Town Council) would say, ‘No, that’s not what our town wants.’” In his version of history, what happened next is as follows: Developers in 2007 funded a group of candidates for Town Council to act as “puppets” for their causes, and ultimately had four of the lot elected. Doe asserts the last installment of the foundation-laying plan was the

identification of “stakeholders” by the Working Group – a Council-appointed collection of residents tasked to work with Zionsville’s engineering firm, American Structurepoint. Stakeholders are identified in Working Group literature as “an organization, governmental entity or individual that … may be impacted by planning process,” and a person or group of people who have the “ability to affect the outcome through political, financial or resource power.” Pittman “(The Working Group) got a former vice president at Eli Lilly (Jim Cornelius), Chad and Steve Pittman (developers) and Bob Harris (of Harris Property Group, a Zionsville land owner).

Notable 2011 Town Council Election Contributions: Susana Suarez: $1,500 - Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors; $2,500 - Michael Smith (Kite Realty) Elizabeth Hopper: $6,109 - Civic Pride of Boone County PAC (Headed by former Council president Matt Price; Beam, Longest and Neff engineering firm; developers Paul Kite and Bob Harris) Jeff Papa: $1,500 - MIBOR; $1,000 - Matt Price Candace Ulmer: $3,000 - Civic Pride of Boone County PAC; $7,100 - Civic Pride of Boone County PAC; $1,122 - MIBOR; $1,000 - PAC for Suarez; $1,000 - Keith Burks – Bindley Capital Partners, LLC Tim Haak: $1,052 - MIBOR; $6,500 - Civic Pride of Indianapolis; $12,194 - National Bank of Indianapolis Tom Schuler: $1,069 - MIBOR; $2,000 Alastair Warr – Kreig DeVault residents. It’s like asking the wolf to guard the hen house, and all the pawns are in place,” Doe says. For what? “For the people on the Town Council to fulfill an obligation to the people who put them there.”

“I think most people know it’s coming. Even if there are those two sides, isn’t meeting in the middle the right thing to do?” Former Town Councilor Valerie Swack isn’t as loud a voice as Doe, but she’s concerned nonetheless. A 10-year Zionsville resident, Swack seeks one thing: cohesion. “I hear there are two sides,” she says. “I disagree. Everybody knows development can be a good thing if done properly. You just need to make sure it builds on what we have, not detracts from it.” Case in point: Even Doe concedes extending development from the existing Village south along Zionsville Road to the old 106th Street is a good idea – “Everyone would embrace it,” he says – but rumors abound something bigger is afoot. “People are passionate about Zionsville, and chose to live here because of the rural feel,” Swack says, adding t she proposed to fellow Town Council members they borrow from development practices outlined in a book titled “Rural by Design” by Randall Arendt, but was denied. “I think you can have good, responsible development. I know you can.” She’s more direct when talking transparency. Continued on Page 11 www.currentzionsville.com

Cover Story

One of the figures on the periphery of the development war of words is Dax Norton, executive director of the Boone County Economic Development Corporation. Nonprofit BCEDC recruits businesses to relocate to Boone County and Zionsville. Some feel Norton’s enterprise – because of highly-influential backers such as Duke Realty, Krieg DeVault, MIBOR and others – is a perfect facilitator of developers’ interests. “That’s a stupid comment for someone to make, that they’re concerned whether or not the BCEDC has the community’s best interests Norton at heart,” Norton said. “We’re a service provider; we’re not run by the political machine, we’re not subject to an agenda. It’s true we have (those) investors, but they invest everywhere. It’s a shame the developer is made the enemy, and in Zionsville, the facts get twisted or just aren’t known.” Continued from Page 10 “In 2010, (the Town Council) said, ‘We never see (the tax increment financing area) including residences or apartments, only businesses.’ I agreed with that, so (she wanted to) include that verbiage in the zoning; they said, ‘No.’ “So, when that side says Zionsville could never be ultra-developed – it can, because of the lack of verbiage.”

“The old leadership is very vocal and very conspiratorial in their perspective. Hey, go win elections.” That’s the perspective of Steve Braun (R-Zionsville), a resident who seeks the Indiana House seat from District 24. Braun says it’s foolish to believe anything underhanded occurred in the placement of Zionsville’s elected officials. Braun “People’s perspectives are out there. The Town Council won well (more than) 60 percent of the vote. People are going to vote based on the direction they think the town should go; the (rest) are a very vocal minority. Steve Pittman, a Carmel developer whose family owns the parcel of land at the southwest quadrant of Michigan Road and Ind. 334, is a backer of Braun’s. “I’ve been hearing conspiracy theories for years,” Pittman says. “What’s happened in Zionsville is you’ve had people move in who bring different perspectives to the table.” The Pittman name plays a central role in the development saga. Steve’s brother, Chad, is a Zionsville resident, and the family’s aforementioned property is among the most visible pieces of land within the town limits. “We’ve never tried to do anything with that property,” Pittman says. “I would someday like to develop it – but there’s nothing in the works right now.” Pittman laments the divisiveness of the situation. “If I propose something in Carmel and somebody doesn’t like it, there’s good honest debate,” Pittman says. “In Zionsville, you get attacked personally. That’s the difference.” www.currentzionsville.com

We’re excited and happy to welcome former Mr. Basketball, Noblesville Miller and Indiana Hoosier, Tom Coverdale to the Shepherd Insurance family.

“There’s nothing anyone can point to and say, ‘I told you so.’” Town Council President Tim Haak is in his second term, and he is firm in refuting every single allegation he encounters when it comes to the development battle. “I heard five years ago the election was financed by developers,” he says. “None of that Haak has happened. It’s not like we can just say, ‘OK, do whatever you want there.’ It’s not possible.” What about the allegations about his and other councilor-elects’ expenditures on campaign literature, mailings and consultation, said to be as much as $28,000 per candidate – in a race in which $5,000 had been the standard? “It’s expensive,” says Haak. “(That firm) knows how people respond to advertising, and that’s why we did it. They are good at what they do, that’s why I used them. I can’t speak for everybody else.” If that answer may not placate the naysayers, what Haak has to say about the town’s development strategy could; he hypothesizes the council will present a complete plan to residents by May, and he hopes that will alleviate what he perceives to be a string of misunderstandings. Haak says the plan largely does not involve residential development, which contrasts Doe’s assertion there are plans for up to 1,500 apartments in the TIF area – a burden on an already revenue-strapped school system. “(The Town Council) envisions south of Main Street will be commercially developed to the curve or to the cemetery,” says Haak. “We’re not actively promoting any kind of four-lane road with shopping centers. A lot of people, once they come to meetings and see what the plan actually is, they’re fine with it.” So much contentiousness; does it ever eat at Haak that, despite steering the ship for a town that people are proud of, he’s forced to routinely deflect or refute sometimes outlandish suggestions? “People bring up valid points and good ideas,” he says. “The idea is to be respectful. You always want to listen to people who have a differing opinion.” In Zionsville, it seems, there are plenty of those.

It is our position misplaced, overblown patriotic rhetoric smothers intelligent discussion. Sen. Dan Coats’ defense of the Respect for Conscience Amendment on religious freedom grounds is an excellent example. Search YouTube for “Coats says we must stand for religious freedom.” The Respect for Conscience Amendment, defeated by Democrats in the Senate on March 1, would have allowed any employer (not just faith-based organizations) that offers health insurance to refuse to cover any “specific item or service contrary to the (employer’s) religious beliefs or moral convictions.” This amendment is caught up in the brouhaha about health insurance for contraceptives – subject for another editorial. Our point is different. We object to Coats’ “religious freedom” rhetoric because it obscures permitting employers to deny insurance coverage for items contrary to the employer’s religious beliefs or moral convictions does nothing to protect the religious freedom of living, breathing human beings. Search as you might in Coats’ grandiloquent tribute to freedom of religion; you won’t find a single syllable explaining how the Respect for Conscience Amendment would enhance the religious freedom of actual, real-life people. We welcome thoughtful discussion about what treatments employer health care plans must cover. But Coats wrapping himself in the flag certainly doesn’t lead to such a discussion.

A buzzword since 2008 Commentary by Derek Fisher

I’ll not get political, but you know what I’m talking about. Some people voted for it, some people didn’t and some people simply apply Windex to a paper towel, shine a section of bumper on the trusty Chevrolet and affix a sticker to express their feelings about it. At any rate, change is not new, nor is it limited to the White House. Change is all around us, and that is not going to change. I think about change a lot, as it applies to yours truly. I’ve certainly seen my fair share of it, and recent times are no exception. A change in vocation, a change in location, a change in relation (ship) – come on, it rhymed! I’ve seen them all. I suppose what matters is how we deal with the changes that inevitably come our way. You can either suffocate in the fear and uncertainty

change can bring, or you can grab hold of it and make the change work for you. You’ve got to get busy living, or get busy dying. Memories – healthy ones – are great, but wistfully holding onto the past is a surefire way to set in motion the wheels of the latter. I used to think I’d be a kid forever, my support systems would never fail me, my heroes would never die (or be released in a teary news conference), but that’s just not the way it is. My new model is about malleability and maturity, and you know what? It’s working. Live, love and let go. But keep the change. Derek Fisher is the managing editor of Current in Zionsville.

Five-year recap

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Well good day to you! March marks the fifth anniversary of my writing for this prestigious journal, and so I thought it time to take a moment and reflect on my experience. For starters, you should know I pen this column for fun, so don’t look to me for any hard-core journalism. See, I used to be a stayat-home mom of four and provide daycare for a nephew and two nieces, and I desperately needed a way to cope that didn’t include narcotics or cross-dressing. The mommy groups I attended were either too preachy or hoitey-toitey, and bitchin’ to my neighbors just wasn’t cutting it. So the good folks at Current agreed to give me a platform to share my thoughts on soccer mom issues like hemorrhoids, snoring husbands, potty training and the occasional run-ins with my nemeses, self-righteous Christians and breastfeeding Nazis. (Current also allows me a great deal of editorial latitude as evidenced by my frequent use of made-up words and swearing. Go freedom of speech!) Low and behold, it worked. This weekly column has literally saved me thousands in counseling and Maker’s Mark. Secondly, I am of the liberal persuasion and usually vote Democrat (unless I am under so much stress from living with my in-laws I accidentally vote Republican – true story.) This

often puts me at odds with the majority of Indianapolis suburbia, the uptight conservatives with perfect spouses and perfect houses and perfectly-perfect lives. I’m not bitter. It’s just in my world, manicures, sit-down dinners and bathed children are the things of fiction. My point is, I keep it real in my articles. This doesn’t mean I hate my kids or am heading for divorce. The truth is, most days I’m just hoping to keep my sh*# together long enough to enjoy a “30 Rock” rerun before bed. And my guess is, many of you can relate. Two more things: To protect the identity of my fabulous husband, I refer to him only as “Doo,” as in Loretta Lynn’s spouse. He inherited this nickname after a particularly disturbing yet hilarious affair involving a raccoon, a shotgun and a bathrobe-clad yours truly. Also, I close all of my articles with “Peace Out.” My sister-inlaw used to speak these words when she’d retrieve her kids from my “daycare” and I associate the phrase with a happy feeling of closure (and two fewer kids). So, thanks for your patronage, and peace out! Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

That time of year

Laughs by Mike Redmond

It is spring cleaning time, and because I always follow the rules (sometimes) I have begun my annual ritual of trying to make things presentable around here, starting with the refrigerator. My refrigerator is more than just a place to store foodstuffs. It’s also a time capsule. The more you dig toward the back, the more you find evidence of a once-proud civilization that clung to those last remaining teaspoons of jam in the jar, the cups of orange Jell-O, the rinds that cradle a small crescent of Swiss cheese. Oh, and pickles. Lots and lots of pickles. For which I blame the McKenzie family pickle rule. The McKenzies, my mother’s family, are big on pickles. Well, actually, we’re big on everything, in the wide-load, hearty-eater, two-desserts sense of the word. But we really like pickles. Maybe it’s because we’re from LaGrange County, where just about every family tree – including ours – has an Amish or Mennonite branch. Anabaptists have some fine pickle traditions, although that business about each meal having seven sweets and seven sours is a myth. Sorry if that bursts your bubble. The McKenzie pickle rule says any time you have family over for a celebration dinner, you’re supposed to put pickles on the table. A lot of them. In several varieties.

It further states the pickles should be of the highest quality (as I said, we like pickles), meaning they should be from an unopened jar. Homemade are preferred, but there’s nothing wrong with good store pickles. OK, so this means every time people come over, I have to buy a lot of pickles. And that means I invariably have pickles left over, which go into the fridge, where somehow they migrate to the back where they can’t be seen. Then another holiday comes along. Which means time to buy new pickles. And I can’t use the leftover ones because that is against the rules. By the end of the year and all the dinners – Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, plus birthdays – you have an entire shelf of the refrigerator pretty much dedicated to quarter-full jars of pickles. Some of which have gone beyond mere picklehood and into that territory known as “laboratory experiment.” And so in spring, that season of renewal, I turn my attention to the task of cleaning out the fridge and giving the old pickles a decent send-off. I’ll deal with the olives in the fall. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline.com or P.O. Box 44385, Indianapolis, IN 46244.

Laughs by Dick Wolfsie

I recently discovered another newspaper columnist has been stealing my material and claiming it as his own work. Apparently this culprit has lifted the exact words from other writers, as well. But had this plagiarizer stolen from me? I picked a distinctive paragraph from a recent piece I wrote … “We’ve had critter problems before, but there’s a big difference between having a mouse in your kitchen and having a woodchuck in your backyard. A woodchuck is something you can mention at a cocktail party and someday those very same people will sit in your kitchen and gorge themselves on your homemade guacamole.” Bingo! My column popped up, nearly word for word, in a Blooming Prairie, Minn., newspaper. Except the byline wasn’t mine. The only change the writer made was he dumped the guacamole and served onion dip instead. I guess that was to add a little local flavor. The first thing I did when I learned of this literary pilfering was to tell Mary Ellen. Her response: “This is incredible, Dick. Are you telling me he could have stolen from any of hundreds of humor columnists in America and he picked you?” You’d have to know how Mary Ellen said the word “you” to understand why I lost an entire night’s sleep thinking about that.

Borrower paid title insurance and appraisal fees are required when sum of all liens on property exceed $350,000. Subject to application, credit approval, acceptable appraisal and title search. Advertised APR is available on lines of $50,000 or greater, with loan-to-value ratio of 80% or less, and includes an additional .25% discount for optional automatic payment from a SBL personal checking account. Borrower must meet specific underwriting criteria and draw a minimum of $20,000 at time of closing to obtain advertised rate and waiver of the annual fee for life of loan. The APR is based on Prime plus or minus a margin. The margin is based on your home’s loan-to-value ratio, lien position, owner occupancy status, applicant’s credit history, and the amount of the credit line. The APR is variable and can change monthly, but will never be higher than 21.0%. “Prime” means “Bank Prime Loan’ rate published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in its statistical release H.15 (519) entitled “Selected Interest Rates.” Use of the word “Prime” does not mean that the rate is the best or lowest rate offered by any lender. Current Prime rate is 3.25% as of March 1, 2012, current rates are available from 2.25% APR to 9.25% APR. The highest possible rate does not reflect this discount. Other credit lines are available that require less equity for qualified borrowers. The amount of savings realized with debt consolidation varies by loan.

to say. “So people know about me in Blooming Prairie, Minn. How cool is that?” “I think you are missing the point here. I work very hard every week to write my column.” “Right, sure you do. So tell me, did he steal that adorable piece you wrote where I make fun of your bad habits like shaking your leg and leaving caps off jars in the fridge? And how about that hysterical column where you put on someone else’s underwear at the gym by mistake?” “Yes, but he also used the one where you have no idea how to use your cell phone, the column where I make fun of your relatives and the one where you pack and repack three or four times before going on a trip.” “The man must be stopped, Dick.” I agreed. This was inexcusable behavior. The Minnesota plagiarizer was confronted with the evidence and left the paper in disgrace. The publisher has apologized to all the writers, acknowledging how reprehensible this behavior was, but he added the column would not be missed, because some weeks it wasn’t that funny. That was another night of sleep I lost.

Preparation provides healthier food for children Four food swaps to flatten your belly in days Content provided by Witham Health Services Packing lunches can seem like an endless task. And, after a while, it’s hard to come up with creative ideas – let alone healthy ones. Furthermore, it’s easier to grab lunch-on-the-go, processed foods at the grocery. With a little preparation, however, you can turn lunches into a healthy staple in your child’s diet – one that will reduce fat and sodium intake, provide good nutrition and help him or her maintain a healthy weight. Jane Buroker, a pediatrician with Witham Health Services, suggested some tips to turn “brown-bagging” into a new adventure in nutrition. “Choose foods with higher amounts of nutrients you need – fiber, protein, calcium and vitamin C,” Buroker said. “In addition, also avoid foods filled with saturated fat, sodium and sugar.” Buroker shared more tips for parents looking for fresh ideas: • Wholesome foods: "An apple is better than applesauce,” she said. “Applesauce is not as healthy, particularly if it has added sugar for flavoring.” • Leftover lunch: “We tend to be more health-focused with dinner. Look at what you make and determine how it can be repurposed for lunch,” she said. "For example, make a cold pasta salad with leftover pasta, adding bite-size vegetables, cheese cubes and a little vinaigrette.”

• Freezer fun: “Frozen grapes are tasty. Try edamame, which are basically soybeans in a pod – and fun to eat,” Buroker said. • Going nutty: "If age- and allergy-appropriate for your child, nuts offer a satisfying combination of fiber, protein and smart fats. And, they can be mixed with dried fruit to add flavor and nutrients." • That’s a wrap: “You can add anything to a wrap – lean turkey, chicken, black beans or veggies,” Buroker said. Another important piece of advice Buroker offered: Involve your kids! “Make them (children) participate in the shopping so they can help pick foods and learn about what’s healthy, and why. They may develop more adventurous taste buds if they are part of the process,” she said.

1. Shrink your fruits and veggies. Avoid any raw fruits and vegetables, and eat canned varieties in natural juice or small portions of dried fruit, such as raisins and dried plums. A half-cup serving of cooked carrots delivers the same nutrition as one cup raw, but it takes up less room in your GI tract. The same goes for fresh fruits: Compare the size of a few grapes to a few raisins. 2. Stop chewing gum. If you chew gum by habit or just like to bite down on something crunchy, reach for some nuts, like roasted or raw unsalted sunflower seeds. You probably don’t realize this, but when you chew gum, you swallow air. All that air gets trapped in your GI tract and causes pressure, bloating and belly expansion—none of which help flatten your middle. 3. Avoid barbecue sauce and hot sauce and replace it with in-season fresh or dried herbs like dill, basil, mint, sage, tarragon and rosemary. You can also use curry powder, lemon or lime juice all perfect with fish or chicken. Also avoid

black pepper, nutmeg, cloves, chili powder, onions, garlic, mustard, horseradish, ketchup and tomato sauce vinegar, as spicy foods stimulate the release of stomach acid and cause irritation. 4. Season your meals with salt-free blends such as the Original and Italian medley by Mrs. Dash. You may be attracted to your saltshaker, but water is, too. When you take in higher than usual amounts of the salty stuff, you’ll temporarily retain more fluid, contributing to that sluggish feeling, a puffy appearance and extra water weight. - www.prevention.com

Implants, lasers and peels Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Bananas lower blood pressure – You probably know eating too much salt can raise blood pressure, but most people aren’t aware of the benefits of potassium, which counters sodium’s ill effects. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, people with hypertension may especially benefit from upping the amount of potassium in their diet. Adults should get at least 4,700 milligrams a day. A few good sources: bananas (422 milligrams each), a baked potato with skin (738 milligrams), orange juice (496 milligrams per cup) and nonfat or low-fat yogurt (531 to 579 milligrams per 8 ounces). www.health.com Chocolate milk for jocks? – Chocolate milk has a new target audience: adult athletes in search of a better recovery drink. But is drinking chocolate milk after a workout really a good idea? At least one study (OK, an industryfunded one) has shown big improvements in follow-up workouts when subjects drink proteinrich chocolate milk instead of regular-old sports drinks like Gatorade after exercise. And Michael Phelps swore by the chocolaty stuff to aid him in the Athens and Beijing Olympics, then proceeded to win 14 gold medals. But it should be said: For the more casual weight lifters, joggers and stationary bike-riders among us, guzzling a carton of sugary chocolate milk is probably neither necessary nor advantageous to your overall fitness. - www.esquire.com

Q: I had a breast reduction done when I was a teenager (now age 30) and now, if you can believe it, I’m thinking about getting breast implants. I am a 34B and was thinking of getting 350cc silicone gel implants if this will not make me too big. My main concern is am I more likely to have something go wrong. Is it (augmentation) more difficult since I already had breast surgery? A: Surprisingly it is not rare that a former breast-reduction patient will one day later desire a breast augmentation. Teenage breast reduction has the potential for this to happen as the reduced breast will be exposed to pregnancies, which cause breast involution or breast-tissue shrinkage. When coupled with the prior breast reduction, a woman can eventually end up with almost no breast tissue at all. The desire for augmentation after reduction may also occur if the amount of breast tissue removed was excessive. Prior breast-reduction surgery has no negative influence on the subsequent placing of breast implants. Reduction surgery occurs above the muscle; implants are generally placed below the muscle. Q: I have a few wrinkles and extra skin on my lower eyelids I would like to get rid of. I have read about lasers and chemical

peels. Which of these two lasts the longest? Which is the most natural looking result? Which is least likely to excessively tighten skin? I am curious as to why laser resurfacing is so popular over chemical peels. A: Both methods, laser versus trichloroacetic acid chemical peel, are commonly used and it is a matter of comfort and experience as to which method plastic surgeons use. It is likely you may also benefit by a pinch lower blepharoplasty with a TCA peel, but I would have to look at your lids to answer that question. This is a favorite method of mine for the lower eyelids because it works very well with a very small amount down time. It is also the most minimalist method to guarantee lower lid skin would be tightened to some degree. Lasers are more popular than peels today for a few reasons. First, they are more “hightech,” and with that comes the assumption they produce better results. In addition, their high cost and the need for the manufacturers to sell them drive a lot more visible marketing efforts. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

Ever felt an urge to jump from a ledge but have no desire to kill yourself? This feeling now has a name. In a research study published last month in the Journal of Affective Disorders, a team from Florida State University’s psychology department explored this freaky feeling and dubbed it high-place phenomenon. It could, researchers thought, shine light on one of Freud’s ideas, that some people have a “death wish,” and that some suicides are purely impulsive, absent any sign of depression or even sadness. They surveyed 431 college students, asking them about urges to jump from high places and thoughts of suicide. They also assessed the students’ levels of depression, and their sensitivity to anxiety. That doesn’t mean how anxious they are; it means how sensitive they are to the physical effects -- faster heart beat and shortness of breath -- that accompanies anxiety. Those physical sensations can themselves be interpreted as dangerous. About one-third of the sample said they’d felt the urge to jump at least once. People who had thought of suicide were more likely to say yes, but more than 50 percent of those who said they’d never considered suicide experienced the phenomenon, too. - www.bodyodd.msnbc.msn.com

Serious as a heart attack Commentary by David Cain

A friend of mine recently had a heart attack. He is a young guy with a healthy lifestyle and few risk factors. Ironically, this happened while he was returning from the gym after a workout. He felt pains and, home alone, called my wife. It went to voicemail. She noticed the missed call and returned it. He was short of breath on the other end of the line and complaining about his chest as he asked my wife to come to the house. Before she left our house, she called 911. When she got to his house, he was delusional as the ambulance arrived. He arrived at the hospital and the on-top-of-it medical team had a stint in place in a matter of minutes. As the medical staff joined us in the waiting room, they looked at my wife, thinking it was his, and said, “You saved your husband’s life.” That was March 11. The following Wednesday afternoon, I stopped in at the butcher shop to pick up some meat. I heard the bell on the door ring behind me and, when I turned around, it was my stinted friend. He was already out of the hospital and, on his way home, was at a butcher shop. I don’t know if a butcher shop would have been my first stop, but I do love steak and can’t say The bizarre reason you aren’t satisfied – People who are ambitious may achieve more success, but that trait doesn’t necessarily translate to living a happier life, says a recent study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology. Researchers tracked 717 people during a 70-year period. When they compared people who classified as ambitious (i.e. graduated from a prestigious school and went on to a high-paying job) against more laid-back subjects, they found the ambitious folks actually came out less satisfied. The problem: Ambitious people tend to escalate their goals based on attainments. -www.menshealth.com

for sure. I remember when my grandfather had a heart attack; it was bypass surgery and months of recovery. I realize my friend was lucky, but still, it’s amazing how the medical profession has progressed. It was probably Thursday of that same week when I was reading on Facebook, checking out updates of friends. I see a post about the event. It starts, “I had a wakeup call last Sunday …” and retells the story and cites how grateful he is for everything. I read it and was impressed, so I “liked” the story. The title of the post was “Heart Attack.” Next to the title it says, “David Cain Likes This.” Maybe next time I’ll just leave a comment instead. It’s a different world today. If not for the advances in technology, my friend’s Facebook post may have read a lot differently. Technology not only allows us to keep up with and learn from others, it can even save your life.

Foreclosures flood market – Lenders in January took back nearly 91,100 distressed properties, which include foreclosures and short sales, an increase of 29 percent from the previous month. In the next few months, experts say those homes will make their way back to the market to join the already high percentage of distressed homes being snatched up by buyers. That addition of distressed properties will likely lead to further drops in home prices, says Tom Popik, research director at Campbell Surveys, a real estate research firm. Foreclosures and short sales accounted for approximately 35 percent of total existing home sales in January – an increase of 16 percent from June. During that period, the median home price decreased 8.5 percent to $154,700. “Prices are going to continue to go down for a long time,” says Popik. - www.smartmoney.com

Invest unwanted gift cards – Goalmine.com is an investment site that allows you to invest in a mutual fund for as little as $25 (the total expense ratios for the funds you can purchase through GoalMine are about 1.12 percent to 1.4 percent). You can trade the market value of a gift card, as determined by its partner Plastic Jungle, to your GoalMine account. As a bonus, GoalMine will in some cases redeem your first gift card for 150 percent of its value, which is applied to a GoalMine mutual fund or savings account. Here’s what the site says: “Get 150 percent of the first $50 of card value on your first card if you’re opening a new account, and market value for the rest.” - www.marketwatch.com www.currentzionsville.com

LIFESTYLE Beauty Brighten wardrobe with neon colors, geometric prints Commentary by Joan Carney It’s time to lift the shades of a winter-weary world upon a riot of color for spring 2012! I love to hear the words, “Where in the world did you find that?!” My winter fashion travels were a walk on the wild side, taking me to the Caribbean islands, which inspire a worldwide tropical punch of juicy colors: bright tangerines, corals, lemons, limes and aquas that pop and sizzle when paired together. Delicious! You’ll see those colors shine in tunics and saucy dresses that will help you breeze through the long, hot summer. Take a cue from the lightning bug: Slip on a flash of neon to update your wardrobe pallet. During this transitional time of year, bright tunic tops paired with leggings provide just the coverage and comfort needed. Vibrant strokes of color with slimming black sides and arty front panels make, what can be a dreary season, much more fun. Smart geometric prints, artfully composed patterns splashed with sequin beads, as well as exotic animal prints invite the sort of flattering attention every woman seeks. Photo prints inspired by the Old Masters’ paintings are incorporated in jackets, often in limited editions. They add a sense of timelessness and elegance to any wardrobe. The asymmetrical cut will always remain a favorite for its flattering fit that inspires fashion

confidence – it is seen in tops, jackets and of course, dress hemlines. Events on the spring calendar may include bridal showers, end-of-year programs, concerts and graduations – all events worthy of the increasingly popular dress. A seasonal must for day or evening, any length goes for hemlines. I personally enjoy the high in front, low in back variety. You are a blank canvas – what you choose to put on it expresses your unique personality and tells people so much about you without saying a word. Your sense of style is the first impression you give out.

More weight, better shave – A heavier razor that weighs about 2.5 ounces or more, such as the classic Merkur or the Edwin Jagger 89L ($35), is less likely to nick because you won't be tempted to press into your skin to get a close shave. Go for a handle at least 3 inches long – it'll be easier to grip. - www. money.cnn.com

Knock out wrinkles – No magic lotion will totally erase lines. Still, for times when a quick fix is required, dermatologist Audrey Kunin recommends silicone. Common in makeup and skin care, it instantly evens out skin’s surface, filling in crevices and wrinkles. Give it a go with CoverGirl Smoothers All-Day Hydrating Makeup ($5, drugstores). - www.goodhousekeeping.com Baking soda as silver polish - Wash items, then place on aluminum foil in the bottom of a pot. Add a baking-soda solution (¼ cup soda, a few teaspoons salt, 1 quart boiling water) and cover for a few seconds. The result? A chemical reaction that gets the black off the gravy boat. www.realsimple.com

Gardener psyched for another season Gardening by Holly Lindzy Having only JUST sprung forward, dare I say I think I’ve weathered the winter? I managed to eek out some amaryllis blooms, overwinter a Wandering Jew plant and acquire a gift ponytail palm during this less than inspirational winter we’ve had … but I’m starting to get cranky about seeing some more color around here. It won’t be long before someone comments that my driving passed the garden centers daily might be considered stalking, which doesn’t seem like healthy behavior, but when perusing seed selection or harvesting patches of moss from the side yard isn’t enough, what’s a girl to do? There was a time when I would pass my days tending to seedlings under grow lights and attending lectures about the newest varieties, but those times are on hold for now, with a preteen daughter (oof!) and a full-time job, it’s all I can do to go for a walk in the woods these days … and maybe a load of laundry peppered in. America’s most popular pastime, gardening, is

… pastime. What fun it would be to have time to pass? Instead, it seems I’m looking for it! And when I do find it, I try to relish the moment. A protective cardinal on the fence, a pair of squirrels in frantic courtship, blooms from common lawn “weeds” … all sights unseen once a good oppressive heat sets in during August. Finding a tiny baby sedum as I brush away last year’s debris is enough to fill the void of not nurturing baby plants in my windowsill. I do what I can do. And try not to end up with a restraining order from the garden center. So, let the season begin. Dust off the trowel and shake out the gardening gloves, it’s going to be a doozey. And please, e-mail your gardening woes and wisdom to me this season as you have in the past! Happy gardening!

Organizing tip – A hardworking bulletin board can be as pretty as a picture when covered with cheerful fabric, then placed in a frame and hung from a wide ribbon. Have a lumber yard cut three-fourths-inch-thick Homasote fiberboard to fit a large frame. Cut a piece of fabric 2 inches larger all around; place facedown on work surface. Center fiberboard over fabric. Wrap one side of fabric to the back. Using a staple gun, attach fabric to board, beginning with one staple in the middle of the side, 1 1/2 inches in from the edge. Wrap fabric over opposite side, and secure to board with a staple directly opposite the first. Repeat with other two sides. Continue stapling fabric, working out toward the corners, always adding staples in pairs on opposite sides of the board, ensuring fabric stretches evenly. Place board in frame; secure in place with angle brackets at each corner. Attach D-rings to back of top corners of the frame. Loop ribbon through D-rings and hang. - www. marthastewart.com

March gardening tips – 1. Resist the temptation to uncover spring-flowering plants such as daffodils and tulips. Mulch may be loosened, but the shoots will still benefit from protection against cold, drying winds. 2. Be sure flats and pots used for starting seed are perfectly clean. You can sterilize with a solution of 10 percent bleach and 90 percent water. 3. Water newly-started seedlings carefully. A pitcher may let the water out too forcefully. A mist sprayer is gentle, but can take a long time. Try using a meat basting syringe, which will dispense the water effectively without causing too much soil disruption. - www.almanac.com

Mixing old and new: Updating 1980s kitchen Remodeling by Larry Greene Original kitchen: This home, located in the Brookshire addition in Carmel, was built in 1980 and the owners have lived in the home for 21 years. The owners are retired now and have completed a few remodels over the years. “There were a lot of little things that bugged us about the kitchen, and you tend to live so long with those things you begin to ignore them. Once we found the right design/build team, we were ready to make changes. We love our kitchen now.” Project goals: The homeowner decided against gutting the entire kitchen, but still wanted several functional and aesthetic upgrades. The goals for the remodel were to remove a large, outdated ceiling light box; make the refrigerator look built-in; remove the hanging cabinetry between the kitchen and dining area; update the built-in shelves in the pantry; and build in the microwave above the stove. The homeowner noted, “The 3-D graphics system allowed us to actually see our finished kitchen before they (the workers) even started the job.” Matching old with new: One of the challenges was ensuring the new cabinet changes

Before blended seamlessly with the original cabinets. New matching cherry-wood moldings and cabinet door and drawer fronts were custom ordered to fit the space. According to the owner, “We had new cabinetry added to the old, and the carpenters were able to match the look. When people come into our kitchen, they cannot tell which cabinets are new.” Final results: The homeowners commented, “The old pantry had built-in shelving that could only store soup cans. The new roll-out shelving

After gives us much more storage. We had granite installed a few years ago, but with the overhead cabinets, it got lost. Now the cabinets are gone and the new pendant lighting is up; the granite looks like a piece of art.”
