Michael and Rhonda Kile, owners of AlphaGraphics in Carmel.

By Matt Werner Current in Westfield

AlphaGraphics’ second annual Fight Against Hunger campaign will be under way tomorrow, and the owners of the Carmel branch believe this year’s food drive will be even more successful than the first.

Last year, more than 70 local busi-nesses helped bring more than 6,000 pounds of food to the Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana.

“We’re hoping to at least increase that number and hopefully double it,” Michael Kile of AlphaGraphics said. “We’re going to surpass the 70 busi-nesses last year and hopefully have over 100 this year.”

The idea for the food drive came from someone in their AlphaGraphics system, and the Carmel branch de-cided to run with it.

“A big part of the reason we got in-volved has to do with the fact that my

wife, Rhonda, spent almost 20 years in social work and so this was very per-sonal to her,” Kile said. “It seemed like a great way to get more involved in the community and do something positive for a group that is in need.”

All food collected from July 1 to 31 will be donated to Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, and any participation is welcomed. Some of the businesses that have already jumped on board are Old National Insurance, Baker & Daniels, Atapco, JHDJ Law Firm, Joe’s Auto Service, Five Seasons Sport Center and the Carmel Clay Public Library.

“Our main goal is to help put food on the shelves at Gleaners,” Kile said. “Most people think about donating food at the end of the year around hol-iday time, but the truth of the matter is the shelves are pretty bare around this time of the year.”

An anticipated $2.2 million lawsuit against Carmel Clay Schools stemming from Carmel High School’s pending hazing cases won’t jeopardize 40 recently restored positions for Carmel Clay Schools, according to Carmel Clay School Board member Bruce Calabrese.

The school board voted to cut 40 teaching positions earlier this year in response to a budget deficit caused

by statewide cuts on funding for education. After Carmel voters supported CCS’ referendum on the ballot last month, Superintendent Jeff Swensson said all of the cuts would be undone.

Calabrese said that a lawsuit won’t reverse this deci-sion and added that 60 positions could also be added in the future.

Four former CHS basketball players - John Laskowski, Oscar Falodun, Brandon Hoge and Robert Kitzinger – are currently facing misdemeanor charges for their purported harassment of younger teammates. Each student was expelled from school but arrange-ments were made for the four seniors to graduate.

Current in CarmelLocal residents Mark and Dia Lubin brought a savory

blend of whole grain goodness with a dusting of old-fashioned bakery hospitality to Carmel last week when they opened the Great Harvest Bread Co. bakery at 12505 Old Meridian St., Suite 100 on June 11.

The bakery will serve as a community gathering place offering freshly baked whole grain breads and sweets. The owners also plan to help educate the community on the importance of whole grain nutrition.

“Mark has a background in the food service industry where he spent two decades of his career,” Dia said “I have spent the past

several years as a stay-at-home mom. We decided it was time for a change and wanted to have our own business. We fell in love with the Great Harvest philosophy of caring for the community while making delicious, made-from-scratch products.”

At Great Harvest, customers have the opportunity to watch the baking process in action as bakers mill the wheat, knead the dough, and handcraft each delicious loaf.

“We know the current economic turmoil is taking its toll on many people, but we felt that this was the best time to bring comfort food to people,” Mark said.

Great Harvest’s made-from-scratch whole-grain breads provide excellent sources of complex carbohydrates, have no added fat or

cholesterol, and have been proven to be stars in weight control and disease prevention.

The owners are excited about educating customers on the benefits of whole grain and being an integral part of the Carmel community.

“We want to show appreciation to the community and reward the hard work of our neighbors with delicious baked goods made from scratch and with genuine care,” Dia said. “I want people to feel comfortable about coming in, grabbing a free slice of bread, and saying hello.”

It is our position that our region – and specifi-cally our community – is about to change in a profound way. And we look forward to being there to watch it happen. This winter, on Jan. 29, the Palladium in the Center for the Performing Arts will hold its grand open-ing with a gala during which the venue’s artistic director, performer and American Songbook historian Michael Feinstein will be joined by Grammy Award winning trumpeter Chris Botti.

The building itself is expected to be world class. The architects, builders and craftspeople involved routinely refer to the space as “once-in-a-life-time.” And the much-ballyhooed cost of the project has included the ser-vices of the best acousticians and sound designers available in the world.

And Feinstein’s performance chops have delivered him to most of the world’s top venues. Aside from our desire to support the arts in Hamilton County, we believe the commissioning of this building will be among the most important in a generation. We intend to say that we were there. Go to www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org for more details and to look for a way to be involved.

Right place, right time In a hazeIt is our opinion that American rituals of

group bonding and motivation are all too often ending up, at best, as pointless pranks or, at worst, dangerous and often criminal incidences of hazing. Sadly, our society is riddled with examples of ruined lives – from gang gauntlets and fraternity and sorority initiation rituals to athletic team locker rooms and military barracks.

In an ever escalating climb of irresponsibility, over-the-line hazing becomes an excepted ritual wrongly utilized to prove some rite of pas-sage. Claims that such behavior helps instill a “winning culture” attitude often cite the U.S. military, the most dominant military force in the world. But to assert a correlation between abuse and success is nonsensical. If anything, the brutality of hazing works against structured accomplish-ment.

So why do we, as a nation and as participants, tolerate these transgres-sions? Does our desire for victory outweigh the risk? We are a society that aspires to achieve and puts winners on pedestals. Until we see that hazing inhibits success, will the line of individuals waiting to be hazed get any shorter?

Arts patrons in Hamilton County and well beyond are in for a load of amazing talent, if the recent whirlwind of a weekend of events surrounding the Center for the Performing Arts is any indication. On the heels of The Civic Theatre’s fundraising event under a massive tent at Third Avenue Southwest and City Center Drive came two nights and one afternoon of Great American Songbook fare, courtesy of Michael Feinstein and Steven Libman, respectively the center’s artistic and executive directors. The first event was a blow-away cabaret show at the Columbia Club featuring Feinstein, Grammy-winning opera sensation Sylvia McNair, recording artist Catherine Russell, concert artist and 1981 Miss America Susan Powell and vocalist Shannon Forsell along with pianists Richard Walters and Gary Walters. As phenomenal as that event was, it served as the appetizer for the following night’s Great American Songbook High School Competition at the Crystal DeHaan Center at the University of Indianapolis. Ten youth from across the Midwest – sadly, none from Hamilton County, which produced last year’s winner, Julia Bonnett of Carmel – battled it out (politely and with awesome stage presence

and vocal prowess, of course) for the chance to perform June 16 with Feinstein at his New York City cabaret, Feinstein’s at the Regency. There were no losers playing to a packed house, but Annie Yokom, a 17-year-old sensation from the Chicago Academy for the Arts, took home top honors. She sang “What Did I Have?” by Burton Lane and Alan J. Lerner and “Bill” by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II. The final blast of energy came last Sunday at The Palladium, when the first wave of scheduled events was announced by Libman and Feinstein. (Extended coverage of the weekend’s events is elsewhere in today’s newspaper.) We simply can’t wait for Jan. 29, 2011, opening night!

A songbook and a mission: Accomplished! COMMentarYBy terry anker

Recently, Carolyn and I were returning from a delightful trip to the lovely beach home of dear friends, and we discovered the rarest of commodities in our all-too-busy lives – time with no particular commitment to use it.

There was not a basketball game to attend. (We were in another city and completely at the mercy of transportation.) There was not a call to make. (We were instructed to put away the telephone.) So instead of running from here to there like a rodent in a modern day version of the Habi-trail, we talked. A married couple these days has too little time to talk. We looked each other in the eyes. We completed our sen-tences without interruption. And we connect-ed. There was not any form of electronic pro-phylactic preventing or manipulating the bond … no telephone … no e-mail … no Twitter.

It reminded me of what life was like when there seemed to be more hours in the day and yet were burdened with less worry. It was a good

time. I’m not hiding behind the rose-colored

Foster-Grants – today is a good time, too. Being parents and adults is all that I imagined it would be and more. Yet, what have we lost in our move towards the more efficient and the less personal? Is it possible to live long distance and still live under the same roof?

Studies have shown co-habitation does not define or guarantee a happy marriage. Many marrieds are unhappy, and many singles find roommate bliss. Could it be that we are substi-tuting proximity for intimacy? They are similar to be sure – but just as assuredly, they are not the same. In our modern-day quest for intimacy, have we confused it for geography along the way? And if so, how do we find our way back?

Editor:I enjoy reading Current in Carmel. I was

behind reading the Current, and as I was reading the article, “I voted Republican, and I’m going to lose it” (May 25) by Danielle Wilson, I was offended by the explicit words she used in her article.

She stated, “If I vomited words instead of the bile rising in my throat, I just might be able to make it through the day without offing myself.” She talked about acute nausea and vomit. She

also said, “I feel like I was tricked into joining the Dark Side and have now somehow contributed to the downfall of society.

I feel she went overboard with this article to the point it offended a lot of people. It was very degrading and disappointing.

I appreciate your reading my concerns with this article.

Susan BarberCarmel

Wilson’s honestly should be admired, not discouragedEditor:

She doesn’t need me to defend her, but I still felt compelled to write after reading two recent readers’ notes about Danielle Wilson. I would appeal to folks to check the top of her column. It’s labeled “commentary,” not “politics,” “news” or “everyone’s unanimous opinion.”

It’s Danielle’s opinion, and, in my humble opin-ion, it’s a hilariously honest and self-deprecating account of her daily challenges, victories and ev-

erything in between. It’s her thinking out loud.I would ask detractors this: Could you be this

honest in a column without worrying about re-flecting negatively on yourself or being tempted to gloss over the imperfections? Appreciate the article for what it is: her opinion. Or don’t appre-ciate or agree with it and simply turn the page.

Me? I’m going to keep reading!Jennifer Hershberger

DIsPatChesCOMMentarY By Danielle Wilson

I just came from a family meeting with my kids and husband, and I have to say, I’m feeling much better about my chances of surviving the next 10 weeks. Yes, summer vacation is upon us, and as much as I love the freedom and flexibility that comes when school ends, I also know from experience these months can be tough to navigate. This year, I decided to be proactive and not wait until the horrors of no schedule or routine had me longing for the days of homework and brown-bag lunches.

So I gathered my precious little angels and sat them down right beside my husband, who was naively thinking he could catch up on e-mail right at the kitchen table.

First on the agenda: bedtimes. My younger ones had no prob-lem with just pushing their normal bedtimes back 30 minutes, but my 11-year-old cried and moaned about not being able to stay up as late as he wanted. Mind you, this excessive whining came on the heels of a 2 a.m. night and just hours after he com-plained he was way too tired for soccer practice. Winner? Parents!

Next up: Xbox/DS/computer time. I made the case for not wasting the beautiful days of summer camped out in front of a monitor re-enacting WWII, but again, our oldest protested. He simply could not understand how five hours of electronic play could possibly be detrimental to his psychological growth and well-being. Look, young Jedi. Here’s how it’s going to roll: Two hours for games, and another two for television, and that’s it! Go outside, for goodness sake, or read a book. Don’t mess with the masters; the Force is strong with us.

On that note, I also instigated a 30-minute daily reading require-ment, with or without the benefits of the library’s summer program. You’re reading something, darn it, and I don’t care if you take the free

picture frame and ice cream cone or not. Viva la literacy!Another issue I felt needed particular attention was meal

time. For some unknown reason, my kids feel like they can graze all day long, and that I will gladly make lunches from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., whenever their little hearts desire. Uh, negative, ghostrider, the pattern is full. The Wilson kitchen will henceforth be open from 7-9 for breakfast and 11:30-1 for lunch. Dinner will be at the discretion of both parents. Healthy snacks are always available, but those must be requisitioned on your own. You’ll get no assistance from Chef Mom, so deal with it.

Finally, we decided to instigate a weekly game night, to occur on Wednesday evenings throughout June and July. The kids felt Mondays and Fridays might interfere with weekend plans, but then nothing exciting ever happens midweek, so why not play Charades or Life? We couldn’t agree more. Bring it, short people.

We have also reinstated the “I’m bored” jar this summer, a repos-itory for the quarters fined to any individual caught muttering the words “I’m bored.” Additionally, said perpetrator will be required to perform some loathsome chore or menial task as punishment for not thinking of a more creative way to openly express their ennui.

So there you have it: My plan for enduring the next 10 weeks without jumping a plane to Papeete and/or selling my children on eBay. As much as I loathe the rigmarole of the school year, I know my family functions better on some sort of schedule. Good luck to you! Peace out.

When it is completed in November, The Palladium, a 1,600-seat concert hall in the Carmel Performing Arts Center, will consist of 35,000 cubic feet of one of Indiana’s most prized materials—limestone.

Tim Bault, who has been cutting limestone for 22 years, was responsible for cutting the four-by-five foot limestone blocks that make up the intricate column caps.

“I’ve never worked on anything that was de-signed in quite that way,” Bault said. “Just the large size of the stones was definitely different, and we had to come up with the angles that the architect wanted.”

Bault’s employer, Bybee Stone, has worked with David Schwarz, the architect and de-signer of The Center for the Performing Arts, for about 25 years. Together, Schwarz and Bybee just completed limestone work for the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville and are currently working on a performing arts center in Las Vegas. But the company’s presi-dent, Will Bybee, said he is glad to be using his workers’ talents on a significant local project.

“This is our forte, what we like—columns, large cornices, caps,” he said.

Staying local was one of Bault’s favorite as-

pects of this project, as well. “We do a lot of work outside of Indiana, but

it was a pleasure to work on a building that’s local,” he said. “We usually don’t get to see the finished project and get that picture of what our work has done. That’s why working on this building was so special.”

Bault and the rest of the Bybee Stone Company, which at one point had over 60 workers focusing on the stone for The Palladium, completed its work in late November.

COMMentarYBy Jeff Worrell

Starting this week, the second most common question I will be asked is, “What day are the Fourth of July fireworks?”

Normally, I would chuckle to myself before answering, “July 4 of course.” But this year, the answer is not obvious, thus making the question valid.

The B105.7 CarmelFest Fireworks launched by Firestone will not be seen July 4, but one day later on July 5 instead. Show time is at 9:45 p.m., and the fireworks are synchronized to music on 105.7.

The third most asked question then becomes, “Why?” And frequently, before I can even get my explanation out, there is colorful com-mentary with the term “un-American” included somewhere. If I had my way, once every seven years, the CarmelFest parade and fireworks would not fall on July 5.

So, you may be wondering, why are the main events for CarmelFest on July 5 this year? The primary reason is because the 4th falls on a Sunday. When Independence Day is normally on any other day of the week except Sunday, we disrupt very few businesses and lives with the parade and then later with the fireworks, because businesses are typically closed anyway. However, when the year of Sunday the 4th rolls around, our community of churches – and the people who attend them – do not have to alter

their plans. We do.And so, now you know. A simple, respect-

ful rationale that allows not only visitors to CarmelFest to continue to worship as normal and unimpeded by traffic disruption, but also our hard-working volunteers to do the same. The federal holiday is July 5, and just as when this happened seven years ago, we will have a huge turnout and maybe even some folks re-turning from the lake a day early to check us out.

If you would like to become a member of the hard-working CarmelFest Volunteer Club, go to the Web site and sign up for a job task that interests you. Don’t be scared off by trash detail. We have that covered. Lots of other op-portunities exist, such as like helping out with kid activities or becoming a parade marshal. There are literally hundreds of skills needed and slots open. Got to www.CarmelFest.net to get registered.

OK, I told you the second and third most commonly asked question for this time of year. Anyone curious what the MOST common question is? “What’s a Spark Button?”

Happy July 4 … on the 5th!

Why are the CarmelFest fireworks on July 5 this year? COnstrUCtIOn UPDates126th Street Towne Road to Shelborne Road

This segment of 126th Street will be wid-ened to accommodate a curbed, two-lane boulevard style roadway with a median, asphalt recreational paths on each side, an underground storm sewer system, and land-scaping. Improvements also include a culvert replacement.

Beginning on or after June 14, 126th Street will be closed to through traffic from Towne Road to Shelborne Road. Detour signs are in place directing traffic to utilize 131st Street.

This project is expected to be completed by mid-October, 2010.

The scope of the project includes the con-struction of a new roundabout at Cherry Creek Boulevard and Hazel Dell Parkway. This roundabout construction will require a road closure of the intersection for approximately 45 days. The project will also include wid-

ening of Hazel Dell Parkway to four lanes between Ivy Hill Drive (just north of 131st Street) and Cherry Creek Boulevard. Bids have been opened, and construction is expected to begin in July after Keystone Parkway has re-opened to traffic.

This American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 project has been awarded. Tree re-location is currently underway, and road work is scheduled to take place in early July through mid-September.

The scope of the project includes safety enhancements to the existing roundabouts at 126th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway, and 131st

Street and Hazel Dell Parkway. ADA- com-pliant curb ramps will be installed for street crossings from 116th Street to 146th Street. Also included in this project will be asphalt milling and asphalt resurfacing of Hazel Dell Parkway from 116th Street to 146th Street, as well as new pavement markings and raised pavement markers on the new surface asphalt.

By Kevin Kane Current in Carmel

Michael Feinstein is bringing his life’s collection to Carmel, and he said there’s no better place to keep it.

The Michael Feinstein Foundation collects and preserves the music of the Great American Songbook for it to be enjoyed by future generations. Currently, these items – including compos-ers’ personal notes, vintage sheet music and recordings – are being stored in various locations. But in 2011, this extensive collection will make a permanent move to Carmel’s under-construction Center for the Performing Arts, and the reloca-tion is said to be a great development for both Carmel and the collection.

Feinstein, a five-time Grammy nominee and artistic director of the Center for the Performing Arts, was in town for a few days earlier this month to participate in events related to the Center and his foundation. At the June 6 announcement of opening week ceremonies for the 1,600-seat concert hall, the Palladium, Feinstein used his time at the podium primarily to discuss the importance of the Great American Songbook.

“This is our greatest import,” he said. “This music represents who we are as Americans to people all over the world. This is the music of America … and it has led the way to everything that has come after the Great American Songbook.”

During an exclusive interview with Current in Carmel, Feinstein explained that, until now, his extensive collection has not had a permanent home. Previously, no single loca-tion had been dedicated to its preservation and public display, but Feinstein added that Carmel, centrally located in the United States and in the birth state of music legends Hoagy Carmichael and Cole Porter, is an ideal place to keep America’s music.

The collection will be moved to a museum at the Center, and Feinstein said the move will improve the longevity and public appreciation of this music from the early 20th century.

“The Great American Songbook is a body of work that has never been properly celebrated; conserving it is extremely important for our society,” he said. “The music world has changed so much in the last nine decades, but this will give people a sense of the importance of this music.”

While Feinstein said the move to Carmel will benefit his

foundation and the Great American Songbook, the change is expected to positively impact the city in return.

Mayor Jim Brainard said being selected as the permanent home for the Great American Songbook is a “huge coup” for the city, adding that Carmel beat out larger cities like New York, Chicago and Las Vegas vying for the same distinction.

“This is a huge economic development opportunity for Carmel,” he said. “The music will attract visitors from all over the world … There are a lot of cities who would want to have this.”

Carmel beat some of its larger competitors by bringing the Feinstein Foundation within its borders, but Brainard said the city will use the Songbook collection in a different sort of competition: to make Carmel one of the premiere arts com-munities in the Midwest or even the country.

Brainard added that this is part of a greater plan to put Carmel, and Central Indiana, “on the map for arts,” and Steven Libman, executive director of the Center for the Performing Arts, said the collection can help accomplish that feat.

“The more you know about the Great American Songbook, the more clearly you recognize that it encompasses everything in our tradition: blues, jazz, country, classical,” Libman said in an e-mail. “I believe Carmel will become known as the home and the living embodiment of America’s mainstream tradition of popular song.”

Feinstein said he’s spent much of his life collecting these materials because they played an important role in influencing later music and contain messages still applicable today. In fact, he added that it’s necessary for people to balance their intake of modern music with the songs that preceded them decades earlier.

“It still has great relevance in our world,” he said. “There’s still a need for it.”

Michael Feinstein explains the importance of the Great American Songbook and why he’ll move his

collection to CarmelRight at home

In addition to the museum to be located at the Center for the Performing Arts, the Michael Feinstein Foundation will continue introducing the music of the Great American Songbook through its annual high school competition. The second annual Great American Songbook High School Academy and Competition was held earlier this month in Indianapolis. Beginning in 2011, however, the competition will take place in Carmel.

There comes a time in every inte-rior decorating aficionado’s life when he or she runs out of space to deco-rate. What happens when the “raison de decorate” evaporates? Go outside!

Exterior decorating is more than simply lighting the tiki torches. It is a clean decorating slate that welcomes the unexpected.

When you and Mother Nature decide to room together, your out-door room can be as major as an outdoor kitchen complete with run-ning water and a wood-burning oven or as simple as a tiny space in a yard that offers privacy and serves as your calming retreat.

Find a spot in your yard that could provide privacy or a view – whatever most appeals to you.

To give it the privacy of a “room,” plan some sort of some structure that will serve as your “walls.” This type of wall can be created out of shrubs, a fence or even trellis in planters with a fast-growing vine. All we are looking for is the illusion of privacy, not four solid walls and a ceiling.

Floors in your outdoor room can consist of anything from gravel to brick to concrete. There are some great outdoor rugs on the market that will provide the foundation of your exterior

decorating plan! The ceiling part is easy: Just plan on blue sky and a few clouds.

If you happen to have an arbor overhead, try a candle chandelier! Or you can simply use an old electrical chandelier with the wiring re-moved and use the candles in place of the bulbs.

The purpose of the space will dictate furnish-ings. If it is for dining and entertaining, a table will be the focal point. It can be as simple as a patio table dressed to the floor in a tablecloth made of outdoor fabric, or as elaborate as a French waxed concrete table on pedestals that I am using in an outdoor dining room project.

Perhaps your outdoor room is simply your getaway space. Find the most comfortable out-door chair you possibly can and pair it up with

an ottoman. If you add a side table to this, you will have created your own oasis for reading, napping or just hiding from the world.

Once your outdoor room has been furnished, the best part is the acces-sorizing. You can treat this space like any interior room, providing you make allowances for sun and weather.

Pillows and cushions really should be made for exterior use or they will deteriorate before your eyes. If wind is a concern, try adding ties to your decorative pillows and securing them to your chairs and benches.

Although there are outdoor lamps available, candles provide the ambiance ap-propriate to an outdoor room. Strings of white lights can add a festive feel and provide night-time illumination.

Stoneware dishes filled with colorful rocks, potted plants and iron sculptures are all up for the task of decorating your outdoor room.

The beauty of exterior decorating is that it is spontaneous and you are not bound by four walls and a door!

Now that summer is in full swing, it’s time to lighten and brighten on the home front. Here are a few “summertime and the living is easy” trends to observe to help you rid yourself and your home of the winter blahs. Here is what’s hot and how to make it happen …

1. Under foot: Bare Floors. Roll up those heavy area rugs and put them away until winter.

2. Colors: Bright and Saturated. Slipcover a dining chair seat with something bright and cheerful.

3. Fabrics: Linens and Ikat prints. Put away the velvet pillows; replace with these lighter choices.

4. Outdoor furniture: Eclectic mixes. No matching sets. Mix it up to make in more interesting.

5. For walls: High-gloss paint. High sheen gives off light. Even if you make it beige, make it shine.

6. For accessories: Less is more. Edit your accessories and keep it simple; besides, it’s less to dust.

7. Wood finishes: Bleached and Painted. Take a dark accent table and paint it a soft color. Lime the oak.

8. For windows: Sheer fabrics. Take down heavy drapes. Let sheers billow in the breeze.

9. For the tabletop: White. Mix differ-ent styles, sizes and shapes, but keep it white.

10. For the bedroom: Cotton. Remove the brocade comforter, and slip cotton over a lightweight duvet.

There you have it. If you have questions on how to actually execute, just send me an e-mail and I’ll help you make some changes that though small will make a large difference. You may reach me at [email protected].

Welcome to Carmel Fest 2010, “The Greatest Festival in Indiana.” For more than 20 years, the Carmel community, and folks from neighboring communities, have come together to celebrate our national and local heritage. This year we will do so on Sunday, July 4 and Monday, July 5. With CarmelFest’s twoday festival, the Independence Day Parade, the Fireworks Display, CarmelFest Has Talent vocal competition, the Freedom Ball and the CarmelFest Freedom Run, you will see and feel the spirit of community surging throughout the event. Our goal is to help preserve those treasured traditions and the unique sense of American community that have made our nation so great. CarmelFest is the largest single gathering each year of the entire Carmel community and its neighbors, and we are determined to keep it an enriching experience. The CarmelFest celebration will offer two great days of fun, music, excitement and entertainment for families,

neighbors, friends and kids of all ages. Our planning committee has worked diligently to prepare CarmelFest 2010 as our best festival ever. Once again, we are proud to have St.Vincent Heart Center of Indiana sponsor our parade, with the theme, “Celebrating American Heroes.” Additionally, B105.7 and Firestone are teaming up to present our dazzling fireworks display, considered by many to be the best in Central Indiana, if not beyond. (Remember to bring your radios, as the fireworks will be simulcast on B105.7). CarmelFest also will feature new games, events, exhibitors, and the Civil War Reenactment Campground. Add to that our great music venues and acts, our wonderful food offerings and a lively atmosphere, and you have the makings of a terrific festival. In anticipation of the opening of The Palladium, Carmel’s new performing arts center, in early 2011, CarmelFest also will be partnering with the arts to showcase “The Great American Songbook”. The Carmel Symphony Orchestra will play an inte

gral role in this year’s festival as it performs pieces from the songbook. Please check our Web site, www.carmelfest.net, often for event updates and schedules. And thank you to our partners at Current Publishing, LLC for their continued support. If you need any specific information, please contact us at [email protected].

Who doeSn’t love an aWeSome parade? throughout history, kingdoms and communi-ties have held parades to showcase their champions and accomplishments. the greeks and the romans held parades to celebrate their triumphs and honor their citizens. as americans, we revel in showcasing our com-munities and honoring our heroes in a grand manor with marching bands and beating drums. And basi-cally, we all love a good parade! You can tell that by the thousands of residents of Carmel and elsewhere that stake out viewing positions on the parade route the night before. the Carmelfest indepen-dence day parade is one of the best hometown displays of pride. it captures the essence of a vibrant and diverse american commu-nity. the parade will include lively color guards, march-ing bands, floats, clowns, gymnasts, local celebrities, veterans and more. pa-rade director peggy powell and and bec hunter, her co-chair, promise that “this year’s parade will entertain and delight the commu-nity.”

we are once again thrilled to have as our pa-rade title sponsor, StVincent heart Center of indiana. this year’s parade theme is “Celebrating American heroes” and we want to recognize and pay tribute to those who have sacri-ficed so much for us all. Our grand marshall will be Jason Fishburn, a police officer with the indianapolis Metro-politan police dept. on July 10, 2008, Fishburn suffered a near fatal gunshot wound to the head while leading a police chase to appre-hend a homicide suspect. His bravery and miraculous recovery have been an inspiration to the commu-nity for his heroic actions, Fishburn was awarded the purple heart and Medal of Honor by the IMPD. in addition, we will have color guards represent-ing the revolutionary war, portrayed by The Sons of the american revolution. the members of this color guard are direct descendants of american revolutionary war soldiers. also the Civil war, represented by the Indiana 44th infantry, and a world war i color guard, the hoo-sier Doughboys, represent-

Recently, I have had the opportunity to present this survey to teenagers. The surprise result is that out of the 26 kids I spoke with, none of them had ever been asked to identify with any of these statements.

So often, we assume our kids are self-motivated to accomplish great things, yet we seldom ask them what they believe. The pur-pose of the exercise below is to get our kids to commit to what they believe and then follow through as their life skills develop them into adulthood. Revisit the areas in which they do not agree at a later time post-discussion.

The 10 most important two letter words: “If it is to be, it is up to me!”

(Place an “X” after all the following state-ments you agree with.)

I am the most valuable person in the world to me.

Unless I am an identical twin, there is nobody in the world exactly like me.

I am the only one who can make a differ-ence in my life.

My innate self worth is on the backburner, and I need to bring it front and center.

I recognize the difference between my self-esteem and self worth.

I believe I can be anything I want to be as long as it is legal, ethical and moral.

I know there is no substitute for hard work and a good education. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

I know everything I do is a choice. I know I’m not entitled to anything I

haven’t earned. I know every problem has a solution. Some

problems take longer to solve, but they are all solvable.

I have one body, one mind and one heart. I am devoted to God, country and family. Hugs!

I’m going to give you a word, and I want you to come up with the first five things that come to your mind associated with that word. Ready?

Protestors. So what were your five things? Pickets? Angry

mobs? Health care reform? Spelling bees? What’s that? Spelling bees weren’t on your list? Really? Maybe they should be.

The Scripps National Spelling Bee, held a couple weeks ago, had an unusual crowd of pro-testors. What would protestors at a spelling bee protest? Spelling, of course.

There are a few small groups of activists whose aim is to change the way the English lan-guage spells things so that spellings make more sense and are more logical to learners of the lan-guage. As noted on the Web site of the Spelling Society, a British group aimed at simplifying English spelling, “Numerous alternative ways of spelling English have been devised over the years. They run anywhere from respelling a few words to a 100 percent phonemic dictionary key type spelling. Others fall somewhere between the two positions.”

The Spelling Society doesn’t actually endorse any particular spelling simplification method; it merely hopes to open a dialogue.

I thought I would weigh in on this little debate. My opinion? Leave English spelling

alone. Yeah, it’s complicated. Yeah, it’s hard to learn. But it’s beautiful.

English is a language comprised of many pieces of other languages, and the spellings of our words often reflect those roots. It’s a family tree, of sorts. Granted, it’s a messy, complex family tree, but it’s a lovely one.

Besides that, as the Spelling Society notes, coming up with a plan that simplifies the lan-guage for new speakers in a way that doesn’t adversely affect an enormous population of cur-rent English speakers would be crazily compli-cated. And how would the decisions be made as to what and how to change?

Any change of the spellings would detract from the vast history and heritage of English. I like to think of the English language as a re-flection of the United States: diverse, rich in history, interesting, and sometimes hard to understand. I wouldn’t want to take any of those things from my language, so I’ll deal with difficult spellings and words that look like they should rhyme, but don’t (comb, tomb, bomb), and words that don’t look like they should rhyme, but do (they, say, weigh).

» Upcoming auditions – Civic Theatre will conduct auditions for “Annie” on June 28 and 29 at the Marian University cam-pus theater, located at 3200 Cold Spring Road, Indianapolis. Actors 16 and under will be seen from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Adult actors will be seen from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Find additional audition information and requirements at www.CivicTheatre.org.

» Suit fabrics for summer – Poplin suits are very smart for hot-weather wear. Tropical wools also wear well, and super-lightweight wools are surprisingly cool. Go for linen for dressy summer socializing, es-pecially when the forecast is dry. Linen and rain are not a fun combo. Linen-silk blends area also good. They wrinkle less than pure linen, but they, too, will spot from rain. If the weather looks iffy, stick with wool; it’s what they wear in summer where it always rains—Ireland.

» Renting cars abroad – One strategy for finding the best deal is to reserve in advance (to make sure a car will be avail-able) and then to shop the airport rental counters for the lowest rate once you ar-rive. If you find a better deal than the one you booked, you can usually cancel the reservation without penalty. Before can-celling, though, make sure both compa-nies offer comparable services – including roadside assistance. To avoid unpleasant surprises, always make sure that any rate you're quoted includes unlimited mileage as well as an estimate of all taxes, surcharges, and other fees.

By Brandie Bohney Current in Carmel

James Moore isn’t just painting to make money; he’s painting to make peace. His simple, symmetrical still life paintings make a subtle but undeniable statement about the importance of peace and stillness in life.

“At the essence, it really is about trying to share a sense of physical being as an expression of spiritual being,” Moore said of his work. “Rather than preach about peace, I’m trying to show a sense of peace through the work.”

Moore, a 63-year-old California resident, will be exhibiting his work at Garvey-Simon Art Access (27 E. Main St., Carmel) begin-ning today, June 15, and running through July 3. Moore works in oil on linen and primarily paints still lifes.

“I’ve been painting still lifes just about my entire career,” he said. “I like to be able to con-trol the environment that I’m painting and ar-range things. I like simple things. I like things that are solid and simple like pots and jugs and solid forms like fruits and vegetables.”

His paintings, which feature humble objects painted life size in muted colors, evoke a sense of peacefulness. He said that while individual responses to individual pieces may vary, the

overall response to his work, as a whole, is one of calm.

“The paintings are about a kind of expression of simplicity and calmness and peace,” Moore said. “I think that’s where we need to go as a people; I think we need to come together, be kinder, and work through our problems peace-

fully with kindness rather than conflict.”In addition to the exhibition throughout the

month, Moore will be in attendance at the gal-lery this Saturday, June 19, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., and he is enthusiastic about the opportunity to speak with those in attendance to answer questions.

COMMentarYBy Chef Michael Vlasich

When most people think of soup, they think lunch – or of opening a can of Campbell’s soup and plopping it on the burner while cooking a grilled cheese sandwich.

My first thought is of my grandfather, who ate soup with every meal. It had to be scalding hot – hot enough to blister your tongue. I kid you not; every meal except breakfast started with at least a cup of soup, sometimes turning into a bowl or two. The older I get, the more I cherish this often-overlooked, under-appreciat-ed food. Generally, I have at least one cup a day at work.

Soup is considered as old as the history of cooking itself. It traces back to 6,000 BC, when the main ingredient was hippopotamus. It eventually changed to beef juices covering bread and was named “sop” in English, which many believe is the origin of the word “soup.”

Before recorded history, when food was scarce, the practice of dumping bones, food scraps and whatever edible things you had on hand into a pot with boiling water was common. It was accessible to poor and rich alike and was easy to digest, no matter the living conditions or state of health.

Through the years, countries have developed their own staple soups. The Russians have borscht; Italians have minestrone and pasta e fagioli; the Germans have lentil with sausage; the Japanese have miso; the Chinese have won ton and sweet and sour, and so on.

Did you know Frank Sinatra had chicken and rice soup in his dressing room before every performance? (He said it relaxed him and settled his tummy.) Andy Warhol painted Campbell’s soup cans and ate soup for 20 years straight prior to his demise. In America, women are twice as likely to eat soup for lunch, and 99 percent of all American homes purchase soup to eat at home. More than

10 billion bowls of soup are served every year in this country. That is what we call a serious industry.

Soup has even influenced fashion. In the 1700s, soup spoons were invented

to eat broth-type soups. Because of this, the fashion changed,

allowing the big ruffled neck

and sleeves to become fashionable

(They had been impossible previously, as

they would always be mussed by the soup.)

Included is a Navy bean soup recipe I make for one of our ex-presidents when ever he is in town. It is a favorite of his since the late 1980s, when we first met.

Ingredients:• I # dry white beans (soak in water

overnight)• 1/3 # honey ham medium dice• 1 cup small dice white onion• 2/3 cup small dice celery• 2/3 cup small dice carrots• 1 small can diced tomatoes (15 oz.)• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme• 1 tsp. dried parsley• 2 bay leaves• 1 gallon chicken stock or broth• 1 tbsp. Olive Oil

Directions:In a soup pot, sweat the vegetables with the oil until tender. Add the herbs, half the ham, beans and stock. Simmer 1.5 hours or until beans are tender. Skim top of soup of fat, then add remaining ham. Adjust seasoning and serve.

“The Book of Eli” may just be the best-look-ing dumb movie ever made.

This post-apocalyptic drama from the Hughes brothers directing duo (Allen and Albert) fea-tures a wasteland so bleak and bled of color, the film is nearly monochromatic. Its spareness is practically sumptuous.

But the script (by Gary Whitta) is filled with so much idiocy and silliness, we grow distracted from all the great visuals.

The setup is part “Mad Max,” part “Waterworld” (sans water), part “Fallout” video game, and 100 percent bone-headed.

Denzel Washington plays the title character, a wandering badass who possesses the last Holy Bible on Earth. Most of humanity was wiped out 30 years ago, and the few that are left roam the desert preying on each other, or gather into chaotic enclaves.

Eli strolls into one of the latter, a town led by

an intelligent, diabolical man named Carnegie (Gary Oldman), who sees in the Bible a weapon with which he can tie the rabble to his yoke.

The last two-thirds of the movie devolves into a series of chases and fights as Carnegie’s men seek to wrest the book from Eli’s grasp. Eli, armed with a freaky-looking machete and pre-ternaturally fast moves, filets them to bits.

It’s a cool, withered world the Hugheses have painted for us. And I’m a sucker for stories about mankind squabbling over the flotsam of their dead society.

But don’t be fooled by its great looks: “The Book of Eli” is so stupid, it’s almost unholy.

English biscuits are a traditional accompaniment for tea in Great Britain. Many tea drinkers “dunk” their biscuits in tea, allowing them to absorb liquid and soften slightly before eating.

These delicious little cookies are baked until golden and slightly hard, so that they last for days. Butter them fresh out of the oven or eat them cooled with tea in the afternoon.

The beauty of this recipe is that you can add any

kind of dried fruit, nut or extract to flavor to your preference.

This recipe calls for orange zest and dried, tart cranberries.

Ingredients:• 1/4 cup butter, soft• 2 tablespoons sugar• 2 eggs, lightly beaten• 1 3/4 cups flour• 2 teaspoons baking powder• 2-3 tablespoons milk• Salt• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

The grated zest of 1 orange Directions:1. Cream butter, sugar and

eggs, sprinkle in orange zest.2. Sift flour and baking powder

together, add a pinch of salt and fold into a mixture. Use a paddle if you have it. Fold in dried cranberries at this point.

In this novel, the reader meets Mr. March as a Union Army chaplain during the early days of the American Civil War. He has led a varied and principled life, from being an itinerant peddler to a wealthy financier; from an unwitting terrorist to a war-wearied chaplain; from a doting father to an impoverished, desperately ill detritus of war, a victim of man’s inhumanity, bigotry and suffering. Letters to his family in Concord, Mass. serve as a touchstone to the tragedy of his experiences as an abolitionist preacher/chaplain on the front lines of this gruesome conflict. As the barbaric conflict swirls around him during this year, he doubts his own morality and his worth as a human being. By the end, we realize the profound good in seemingly inconsequential events.

“March” is a profound book that will touch the minds of all readers. It features a protagonist borrowed from the popular novel “Little Women.” One could read the dust cover and the afterword chapter first, but some of the power of this tale might be compromised. Some 19th-century intellectuals are seen in a different, more humane light, and the conflicting opinions of like-minded people are on display. Geraldine Brooks, who also wrote “Year of Wonder,” has created a new American classic.

CommentaryBy tracy line

It’s nice to stay someplace different every once in awhile. And if money is no object, different can be anything from a hotel with giraffes to an underwater diving adventure to a night in a Boeing 727.

Consider: Giraffe Manor This beautiful lodge in Kenya offers views

of both Mt Kilimanjaro and Nairobi’s Ngong Hills. But the best view is right under your nose. The Rothschild giraffes living on the property often peek their heads right through the windows of the three-story inn. You can feed them, pet them or just watch them mean-der about the beautiful grounds. Visit www.giraffemanor.com for rates and information.

Jules Undersea LodgeDive enthusiasts or even new divers will ap-

preciate this watery destination in Key Largo, Fla. Once a research laboratory, the hotel is 21 feet below sea level in the mangroves of Emerald Lagoon. Rooms have 42-inch round observa-tion windows for watching the angelfish, parrot-fish and barracuda that frequent the area. The Jul’s Package includes room, dinner, breakfast

and , of course, unlimited diving and gear. See www.jul.com for details.

Boeing 727Prefer a higher locale? Check out the Hotel

Costa Verde in Costa Rica. Guests stay in a refurbished 1965 Boeing 727 perched atop a 50-foot pedestal. You’ll have two bedrooms (each with a bath), a kitchenette, dining room and terrace. Observe the wild sloths, toucans and monkeys of the Manuel Antonio jungle, or simply hang out on the terrace and enjoy the fantastic ocean view. See www.costaverde.com/727 to book your stay.

Other choicesFor a tree house adventure, try the Out ‘n’

About in Takima, Ore. Stay in a refurbished prison cell at the Hostel Celica in Slovenia. Or, for a cool experience, try the Arctic Circle, an ice hotel in Sweden.

Our world truly offers something for everyone.

Next time try something a little out of the ordinary

Ramu Ramdev learned the art of miniature painting when he was still a boy. For 20 years, he has been preserving this traditional art form with his world-renowned paintings. Now, Ramdev is bringing his work to Carmel.

On June 19, Ramdev will feature his artwork at the Art of Wine, an event in the Carmel Arts & Design District featuring wine tasting, jazz performances and exhibitions of works by local, national and international artists.

Born in Northern India, the 44-year-old Ramdev specializes in miniature painting, a deli-cate, ancient art dating back to the 15th century. Miniature painting is distinguished by its use of bright colors and light to create striking small-scale images.

“Their family has been doing this for genera-tions,” said Jag Bohra, Ramdev’s brother-in-law and representative. “It was something that was passed on from his father and forefather.”

Through a time-consuming and intricate pro-cess, Ramdev focuses on making his artwork the way it was done centuries ago, using handmade paper and making his own paint from mineral rocks and seashells.

According to Ramdev, it takes about five to 10 years to master the art of miniature painting.

“Not many people make that kind of painting anymore,” Bohra said. “Ramu tries to teach his children, but it is difficult because people don’t want to go through the hassle of making things they can buy from the market.”

To preserve traditional Indian miniature art, Ramdev created Rangreet, an organization that sponsors training camps to teach younger gen-erations about miniature painting, in 1996. The program offers five week workshops, presents conferences, and honors master artists as well as new talents.

Ramdev’s overall goal is to not only preserve miniature painting, but to spread traditional Indian artwork to other areas of the world. His work has already been displayed in major cities in India, England, and across the United States. Bohra says Ramdev’s art, which was exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago last week, sparks an interest for people of all cultures.

“I stand right next to him at his exhibits, and there must be at least 30 or 40 people at a time asking him questions, taking pictures and want-ing to buy his paintings,” Bohra said.

Internationally renowned ‘miniature’ artists brings work to Carmel

COMMentarYBy David Cain

Have you ever had a conversation and found that the person you are talking to just restates your discussion in the context of them? You are discussing something, and they are likening it to something in their life. It happens in almost every conversation in some form. People make sense of things by putting those thoughts into the context of their own lives, making those thoughts or ideas familiar to them and therefore more easily understood.

Listen to the next conversation you have. Listen for how many times you say “I.” Listen to how often you change the context of what they are saying to restate it to a first person story from your own world. Listen for how hard it is for you to have conversations in the context of someone else, emphasizing their problems and their agenda.

Research says the average person has 60,000 to 90,000 thoughts each day. And more than 90 percent of those thoughts are about them-selves. We continually process day-to-day ac-tivities, thoughts, ideas and any stimuli in the

context of ourselves. We continually ask, “What does this mean to me?” That’s not to say we don’t care about other people: they might make up the other 10 percent.

Effective communication must be in the con-text of the audience. You have to put yourself in their world and in your conversation answer the questions, “What does this mean to them?” or “Why do they care?”

If you don’t address their agenda, which they often won’t reveal, you will struggle to influ-ence people. Influential communication means you understand the problems and pains of your audience. It means you can put yourself in their shoes. If 90 percent of their time is spent thinking about themselves, spending time talk-ing about yourself and your agenda isn’t very effective.

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

A4 MONDAY, MAY 24, 2010 2 N D THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR INDYSTAR.COM

farmers say it is essentialto crops. More practicalprescriptions may includecontrols on developmentand agricultural runoff,and maybe even a ban onphosphorus in lawn fertil-izers. Such questions arebeing discussed and couldreach the Statehouse asearly as January.

In the meantime, offi-cials are trying to deter-mine how much phospho-rus is acceptable inIndiana lakes and streams.

Once that happens,Tedesco said, “it’s reallygoing to impact a lot ofthings.”

Terrible tasteLast month, a large

growth of algae in thePrairie Creek Reservoir inDelaware County pro-duced a chemical com-pound that fouled thetaste and smell of drinkingwater from Muncie to In-dianapolis, including thatof Indianapolis Water cus-tomers.

Officials at IndianaAmerican Water Co.,which owns the reservoir,cited warm water tem-peratures, ample sunlightand the presence of nutri-ents, including phospho-rus, from nearby farms.

Officials stressed thewater was safe to drink.

But that didn’t exactlycomfort people like DeaChisman, Muncie. Shecouldn’t stand the taste —or smell. So she bought apitcher with a filter andadded raspberry flavoring.

“I could smell it as soonas I turned the faucet on,”said Chisman, 66. “It waslike a musty odor. I boughtthe pitcher because I’mnot wasting money on bot-tled water. That’s how Isolved my problem.”

The effects of algae,however, go beyond bad-tasting water.

In Indiana, largeamounts of algae and ex-cessive plant growthfueled by fertilizers haveaffected fish populationsin streams and waterways,according to Tedesco, whoalso is the director of theCenter for Earth and En-vironmental Science atIUPUI.

What was once a gravel-ly bottom in some portionsof the White River, for in-stance, now have beencovered with plants.Where bass might havethrived, carp now live.

“It’s a recreationalfisheries impact, for sure,”Tedesco said.

“It’s an overall ecosys-tem health issue as well,”he added. “You startlowering the diversity ofthe animals that are inthese systems.”

Algae also have affectedrecreational activities, asthe unsightly green blan-kets deter boaters and

swimmers.“It’s gotten so thick that

it’s impossible to do anyrecreational boating on theWhite River,” said JohnGoss, executive director ofthe Indiana Wildlife Fed-eration, who is a kayakfisherman. “It’s definitelyhere. It’s not just at theother end of the nation.”

Exceeds EPA levelsIndiana, in fact, lies

near the heart of the prob-lem.

Phosphorus levels in In-diana reach as high as 881micrograms per liter — atGreensburg Reservoir inDecatur County — whichis more than 35 times thelevel recommended by theU.S. Environmental Pro-tection Agency.

Federal officials haveidentified the MississippiRiver Basin, with its highconcentration of agricul-ture and industry, as thelargest contributor of nu-trient loading to the Gulfof Mexico.

According to the Na-tional Oceanic and Atmos-pheric Administration,agricultural runoff fromthe Mississippi River Ba-sin contributes 70 percentof the nutrient load to thegulf.

For that reason, the U.S.Department of Agriculturehas launched an educa-tional and funding initia-tive to provide farmers —including those in Indiana— with grant money to in-stall devices that couldlessen fertilizer runoff intowater sources.

In Indiana, the depart-ment is focusing on water-sheds that eventuallyempty into the MississippiRiver Basin, which includeheadwaters of the WabashRiver in the north-centraland northeast portions ofthe state and at the head-waters of the East Fork ofthe White River.

“Everyone’s in this to-gether,” said Shannon Zez-

ula, state resource conser-vationist for the USDA’sNatural Resource Conser-vation Service. “We’re outthere helping farmersminimize their impact butkeeping their farms pro-ducing.”

Indiana lags some Mid-western states in establish-ing nutrient criteria. Min-nesota, for example,adopted water-qualitystandards for phosphorusin its lakes in 2008. Wis-consin has proposed nutri-ent standards for its lakesand streams, according tothe EPA.

“I think it’s overdue,”Tedesco said, but EPA of-ficials say thestate’s progressranks about inthe middle.

In 2001, theEPA adopted anational actionplan that recom-mended statesdevelop and im-plement water-quality criteriafor nutrients.

Soon after theEPA’s recom-mendation, Indi-ana officials be-gan samplingwater for nutri-ents, but afterfive years, insuf-ficient dataforced anotherround of sam-pling. It wascompleted thisyear.

“What we did was col-lect data to establish a cor-relation between phospho-rus and the growth ofalgae,” said Bruno Pigott,assistant commissionerwith IDEM’s office of wa-ter quality.

The state is drafting aphosphorus standard forits lakes and reservoirs,which could be in place inabout 18 months.

“As far as implementa-tion, it’s going to be verytricky,” Tedesco said.

Effect on farmersAn outright ban would

devastate agriculture inIndiana, according to theFarm Bureau, which iswhy legislators currentlyare researching only re-stricting phosphorus inlawn fertilizer.

“There’s no questionthat phosphorus in water-ways can cause problems,”said Rep. Nancy Dembow-ski, D-Knox, who chairs abipartisan lakes manage-ment work group chargedwith monitoring thehealth of the state’s lakes.

While legislation re-stricting lawn fertilizercould come up next year,

Dembowski saida wider bancould be prema-ture.

“I’m not say-ing it couldn’thappen,” shesaid, “but no oneis planning thatat this time.”

Other Mid-western states,including Wis-consin and Min-nesota, have re-strictedphosphorus inlawn fertilizers.

Low- andzero-level phos-phorus lawn fer-tilizers are avail-able in Indianastores, saidLance Latham,

director of public affairsfor Scotts MiracleGro Co.Latham said the company“would not necessarily op-pose a ban,” as long as itdoes not include organicfertilizer — which is ani-mal byproducts — where itis impossible to removephosphorus, he said.

What the state’s regula-tory limit won’t address isrunoff from residentiallawns and farms — whichis called nonpoint sources— that empties into riversand streams and lakes andis difficult to regulate.

In 2008, Indiana De-partment of Environ-mental Management es-tablished a nutrientnonpoint source manage-ment plan that is a pre-requisite to receiving grantmoney from the EPA. Theplan also stresses bestmanagement practices, in-cluding building naturalbuffer strips that could befunded through the EPA.

Measures include plac-ing a filter strip, such as aswath of grass, between afarm field and a stream; orplanting annual plants thatremain in the ground dur-ing the winter to absorbfertilizers.

No zoning regulationsZoning could play a

role, but there is no state-wide law on regulatingzoning around largebodies of water, whichwould fall under theauthority of local govern-ment, according to IDEM.

“Most states ban subdi-visions around waterwaysbut not in Hoosier land,”said Glenn Pratt, boardmember of the Sierra ClubHoosier Chapter and for-mer head of the EPA’s wa-ter discharge program forRegion 5.

“We put them back toback, belly to belly, rightnext to the water source,”he added. “People wholive around them havecome to understand theylike big green lawns butthey don’t like big greenlakes.”

Finding solutions thatsatisfy everyone will notbe easy because of the var-ied sources of phosphoruscontamination.

“It comes from so manyplaces and the impact is sogreat,” Tedesco said. “Wedo have to manage it, butthe question is how.”✭ Call Star reporter JasonThomas at (317) 444-6087.

THE SOURCEThe Prairie Creek subwatershed, part of theWhite River basin, drains roughly 17 squaremiles into the 1,252-acre reservoir, which inturn drains into the White River. After thedrafting of a 2007 master plan, the landsurrounding the reservoir was rezoned forrecreation and conservation.

TROUBLE UPSTREAM …A large growth of algae that affected the taste and odor ofdrinking water for most customers of Indianapolis Water wastraced to a reservoir in southeastern Delaware County. Thelargest — and earliest — outbreak of algae blooms in PrairieCreek Reservoir affected water supplies downstream.

… AND DOWNSTREAMIn 2007, a study by the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration concludednitrogen and phosphorus runoff carried southby the Mississippi River (whose basincontains the White River basin) contributesto algae blooms in the Gulf of Mexico. TheMississippi’s fresh water flows on top of theGulf’s dense salt water, creating oxygen-depleted “dead zones” that hamper thegrowth of marine life.

U.S. officials beginningtwo days of talks in Beijingtoday may find their Chi-nese hosts even less ame-nable to outside pressurethan usual.

Treasury SecretaryTimothy Geithner and Sec-retary of State Hillary Rod-ham Clinton are leading anearly 200-person delega-tion in talks on various is-sues.

U.S. officials said lastweek they hoped to makeprogress on a number offronts, including China’spromotion of homegrowntechnologies at the expenseof foreign alternatives.

But two emerging forcesthreaten increased frictionbetween the world’s largesteconomy and its fastest-growing one:

» Europe’s debt crisis ismaking China reluctant tomove on key U.S. demands,including allowing its cur-rency to rise in value.

» Beijing’s increasinglyrobust pursuit of a state-ledeconomic model is pinch-ing U.S. corporations.

“U.S. corporations arelooking much less indis-pensable to the Chinese,”says Ian Bremmer, authorof “The End of the FreeMarket.”

U.S. executives also com-plain about China’s in-creasing focus on develop-ing its own powerfulcompanies and innovativetechnologies rather thancultivating foreign invest-ment.

China is the world’s fas-test-growing economy, andits banks dodged the toxicsecurities that wreckedbalance sheets in Europeand the United States. Butthe view from Beijing is notsanguine.

Chinese officials worrythat Europe’s debt crisiswill lead to stagnation inBeijing’s largest exportmarket. The yuan has risenthis year about 13 percentagainst the euro, which islikely to further crimp Chi-nese sales.

The U.S. for several yearshas called for China to al-low its currency to riseagainst the dollar, whichwould likely boost U.S.exports. Until recently, in-vestors anticipated an earlymove to increase the yuan’svalue by perhaps 5 percent.

But the state-ownedChina Daily said Wednes-day that a yuan revaluationnow could be delayed until“the end of the year.”

COMMentarYBy Bob Montgomery

We are looking for volunteers to colonize Mars leaving Sept. 26, 2059.

Did you study biology in high school? Do you remember biology means the study of “life?”

Thomas Henry Huxley, a teacher from England, suggested biology must include zoology in an integrated way. Animals, people and plants just naturally go together.

Big news! Now we can really study Biology and live to be 120 years old.

Why? Because we can now create life in a test tube. New “life” in the form of single cells that can repeat themselves.

Today, there are two avenues for the study of biology.How to make our present life healthier, wealthier, happier and

wiser.How to colonize Mars. The first rocket leaving with the pio-

neers of Mars is scheduled for Sept. 26, 2059. (In 2059 there will be no Labor Day.) By 2059, the only labor needed in our facto-ries will be one man and one dog.

You will need the man to go to the factory to feed the dog. You will need the watch dog to make sure the man doesn’t touch anything.

The breakthrough in biology (the study of life) came when we finally understood how molecules conduct metabolism. (The pro-cess for controlling the flow of energy through a single cell.)

Now biology, the study of life, is about to create a billion jobs.

Between 2010 and 2060, we will have an additional 2 billion people on this earth. And the average person now already here can expect to live an additional 70 years. If you don’t believe me, wait and see … if you feel lucky.

Our president flooded the globe with money, but he has yet to define the way the new biology is going to produce jobs, jobs and more jobs, and this is a given across the State of Indiana.

Today Biology is the world’s most important industry...the pur-suit of more life. Just think of the number of new jobs we will have to create to help people to live younger, longer.

By the end of this century, creating “teachers” will become the primary global industry. We will need 100 million teachers to teach teachers.

To study and teach biology has been the need and purpose for nature to create people. Did God design humans for this purpose … to study life?

Isn’t CNN and the local poets the study of life? Old life, new life and no life at all?

Is cryogenics (the freezing of people when they die) becoming a major industry?

Biology is the study of Living … now. There is, in the Antarctica Peninsula, algae that froze more than

500 million years ago. Biologists have brought this algae up to room temperature, and these single cells came back to life. Now we can create the same life.

To create thousands of new jobs for Indiana, we need to make biology our major pursuit. More grain (life) goes through Indiana than any other place on Earth. We are in a strategic location for the “processing” of life into products and services for a longer and younger life for everyone.

But, that grain must be made into products in Indiana. We must learn to live to at least 120 years to learn enough to

colonize Mars and beyond. Yes! And if necessary we have to turn grain into produce that

helps people live longer. Indiana needs jobs, but we also need better educated people to create them.

Can you be ready to move to Mars on Sept. 26, 2059? Will you start reading everything you can about the new biol-

ogy? Humans can now create life. Maybe heaven is right here on earth … and we will learn to understand the stars by going there.

Neal Armstrong studied life at Purdue and then flew to the moon. You can’t be the first person to land on the moon. But maybe you can be the second person to live to be 120 years old.

And when you get there, I’ll be waiting for you with my biol-ogy book in my hand.

New jobs for Hoosiers … in 2059

the 2002 of the future: the e30 3 series

COMMentarY By Shawn Miller

This will be the first in a series of bi-weekly columns on the collector car hobby and, more specifically, what I call “future classics.”Used cars that one can buy now can become collector cars in the future.

BMW’s 3 Series contains some of these future collectibles. The 3 Series was considered the entry-level BMW, but many believe it is the best car BMW makes. The E30 BMW, produced from 1982 to 1990, is widely considered the best all around 3 Series ever produced and it is quickly becoming to collectors today what the 2002 is to collectors of earlier cars. The E30 spawned the Legendary M3, an instant classic that still holds a big chunk of its original value some 25 years later.

Four body styles were produced, a four-door sedan, a two-door coupe, a five-door wagon (marketed as the “touring”), and a two-door convertible. A Baur Cabrio was also available. A variety of 4 and 6 cylinder engines were em-ployed over the run of the E30 all of which are solidly reliable and good for 200,000 miles or more if properly maintained. Parts are readily available, not expensive, and the cars are easily maintained by the hobbyist mechanic.

Prices vary widely from entry level 318i’s in the under-$2,000 range to low mileage and

show ready M3’s in the mid-$20,000 range. A nice 325i Convertible is typically in the $3,000-$5,000 range today.

I believe these cars should steadily increase in value over the next decade and beyond.

Shawn Miller is a lifelong car collector and president of SignificantCars.com, a successful collector car brokerage with a showroom at 2225 E 54th St, just west of Keystone.

Above: BMW M3s are typically priced in the mid-$20,000 range. Below: The BMW 318i can be purchased for around $2,000 or less.

» Community names VPs of medical affairs – Community Health Network announced the appointments of three physi-cians to the newly-created leadership roles of vice president of medical affairs for Commu-nity’s Indianapolis hospitals. Don Ziperman, M.D., has been named vice president of medical affairs for Community Hospital East. Bob Lindeman, M.D., holds the same position at Community North and Randy Lee, M.D., is at Community South.

» Get sunscreen in your makeup – Sim-plify your routine by getting sun protection and makeup coverage with one product. Use a brush-on tinted mineral sunscreen powder such as BareMinerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen ($28; bareescentuals.com). It's perfect for quick touch-ups before dashing out to lunch or running errands midday. Besides protecting your skin, it helps even out skin tone, and the minerals naturally diffuse light, so your com-plexion looks smoother and more luminous.

» Open house – Methodist Sports Medicine/The Orthopedic Specialists will be hosting an open house on Wednesday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. to celebrate the opening of its newly expanded 29,000-square-foot ortho-pedic practice, located on the first floor of its current Carmel location at 201 Pennsylvania Parkway.

» Improve skin without surgery – To im-prove skin's firmness and obscure wrinkles, nothing outside of a doc-tor's office is more effective than a pentapeptide cream, says cosmetic-surgery consultant Wendy Lewis. One of her favorites is even available at your local drugstore: "Olay's Regener-ist line is superb. You don't need to pay more for an-other product."Grab some gaba — before blowing your budget on botox. This muscle-relaxing ingredient immediately (but tempo-rarily) relaxes fine lines, at a fraction of the cost of one Botox treatment (about $100 per jar of gaba cream, versus up to more than $1,000 per Botox treatment).

Thyroid hormone is necessary for the func-tion of every cell in the body, including the liver’s ability to control cholesterol levels. Elevations in cholesterol, especially low density lipoproteins (LDL), or the “bad” cholesterol, can occur when thyroid hormones are low. This can result in an increase in vascular disease and heart attacks. Thyroid hormone is necessary for the processing of LDL as well as managing the overall rate of metabolism.

According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, as many as half of the 27 million Americans with thyroid disorders are undiagnosed. Since elevation of cholesterol hap-pens early in the process of hypothyroidism, it is a good idea that anyone with an elevation of cholesterol be screened for an under active thy-roid. Cholesterol levels may be 30 to 50 percent higher and improve when the thyroid levels are corrected with medication.

A blood test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, or TSH, can be done to determine whether or not thyroid levels are at optimal range. TSH levels greater than three with an el-

evation of cholesterol may indicate the need for low-dose thyroid medication. Checking for thy-roid antibodies, immune system proteins that attack the thyroid gland, may also be important to decide if treatment is necessary.

Approximately 102 million Americans have total cholesterol levels greater than the recom-mended 200mg/dl cutoff. According to the National Cholesterol Education Program, hypo-thyroidism is one of the most common second-ary causes of high cholesterol.

Though genetics play a major role in the de-velopment of cholesterol issues, managing diet and optimizing thyroid function is essential. Ultimately, treatment with cholesterol lowering medications may still be necessary to reduce cardiovascular risks, but a patient may be able to get by with lower doses resulting in a reduction in costs and side effects.

High cholesterol? Check your thyroid

Just because you’re on a diet, doesn’t mean you have to ditch some of your favorite foods. A recent article in Prevention Magazine shows seven foods that you should, in fact, not avoid when you go on a diet.

The first food you should not ditch is bread saying that it contains carbohy-drates, which help curb overeating by boosting brain chemicals.

“The kind of bread is important to look at,” Laura Marenco, nutrition-ist at Point Blank Nutrition said. “You want to look for whole grain based, and you should limit it to two to three servings per day at the most.”

Pasta is also on the list saying that the high content of fluid within the pasta helps you feel more satisfied for a longer amount of time.

“Once again look for whole wheat, or pastas that aren’t enriched,” Marenco said. “You should also focus on small servings like one a day every other day.”

Potatoes are another food that is often cut when people start to diet, but the spud does

form a fiber that burns fat and should not be given up.

“I would focus on sweet potatoes because they are higher in fiber and lower in the glyce-mic index,” Marenco said.

Peanut butter is often seen as a food that is high in fat, but it in fact is rich in healthy fats

that can help you lose weight.“It depends on

the kind of peanut butter,” Marenco said. “The more nat-ural it is, the better. Make sure to read the label. Look for

a peanut butter that doesn’t have high fructose

corn syrup.”Cheese shouldn’t be avoided,

either, as it is a great source of cal-cium, but Marenco said it’s best to find

low-fat alternatives and eat them in small servings.

Prevention’s list also included dark choco-late. This food is often said to be healthy, and Marenco agreed. She said dark chocolate is ben-eficial because of its high levels of antioxidants. She suggested finding the darkest chocolate and eating is sparingly.

Last on the list was fruit, for its capability to satisfy a sweet tooth with fewer calories. For more information, go to www.prevention.com.

My name is Vicki Hinkle. I have struggled with foot pain for many, many years. I have had treatment and surgery from several very experienced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause life style changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shopping with friends. I had accepted with sadness; the reality those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonderful results in less than a week after my treatment by Dr. Srinivasan. It has now been sev‐eral months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, ac‐complished weight loss and enjoy outdoor activities once again.

A few years ago, Carrie Crandley, a Carmel resident, dis-covered a tumor in her thyroid. When that tumor suddenly tripled in size, she knew it was time to remove it. Crandley and her husband began doing research and they discovered the da Vinci® system. She went to Dr. Tod Huntley to con-sult his advice on going to Chicago for the procedure, but to her surprise he was train-ing to conduct that very procedure himself. Crandley then opted to wait and become his first patient for this specific procedure.

“It was like fate,” Crandley said. Huntley and Dr. Ed Krowiak with the

Center for Ear, Nose, Throat and Allergy (CENTA) at St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital were the first doctors in the state to use the da Vinci® robot surgical system to remove a benign thyroid tumor and were the first two doctors in the world to make only one inci-sion in conducting this specific procedure.

The procedure is conducted like this: The machine removes part of the thyroid through

a tiny incision in the armpit, whereas tradi-tional methods remove the portion through an incision in the neck that eventually leaves a scar. Robotic arms move under the skin and muscle to the neck, where the thyroid is lo-cated. The doctors stand by, manually operat-ing the robot. The most remarkable part: The amount of precision in this new system.

“I think the robotic surgery is a paradigm shift for us,” Huntley said.

Crandley has now fully recovered from the early spring surgery with no scar on her neck as most patients do following thyroid surgery except a small one under her armpit, and she has become a cheerleader for the da Vinci® procedure, Huntley said. With humans, there can always be errors, Crandley said. This machine makes it easier for surgeons to see, giving them much more precision when oper-ating. But the machine can’t take all the credit.

“I can’t say enough about how thorough the doctors were,” Crandley said.

And the recovery time was as quick as she had hoped. The surgery was on a Thursday, and the following Thursday Crandley was flying to Florida with her kids for spring break.

“I would do it again in a heartbeat,” Crandley said.

When people ask about the secret to a healthy, toned physique, I tell them it’s simply a mix of hard work, a healthy eating regimen and good supplementation. The hard work usually is obvious, but a healthy eating regimen and diet is where there can be confusion.

A critical staple of a healthy diet is protein, and that’s an area in which many people some-times fall short. A diet for an active person should include one gram of protein each day per pound of their ideal body weight. For example, if you are a 130-pound female, your daily need would be 130 grams.

Focus on different protein sources, such as lean cuts of meat (chicken breast, white fish, salmon, tuna and flank steak), Greek yogurt, quinoa, almonds and almond butters. Once you realize all the sources of protein in your diet, it’s not that difficult to achieve optimum levels. Also breaking intake into five to six smaller meals about three hours apart throughout the day also can help keep your metabolism con-stant throughout the day.

You might ask yourself, “If I am constantly on the go, how am I supposed to eat all this pro-tein?” That’s where a whey protein supplement can help. You can buy it in liquid or powder

form, which comes in handy when you are not able to get your protein intake from regular food. Just one scoop of this vital supplement mixed with water will give you about 25 grams of protein.

So how can a whey protein supplement help you with my weight loss goals or overall health?

As a meal replacement: It’s so convenient, there’s no excuse not to make a quick shake when you are tempted to eat a less-healthy snack.

Gain and preserve lean muscle: Getting a “toned body” requires increasing muscle (or at least maintaining it) while decreasing body-fat levels. Research also indicates that people who consume whey protein are better able to maintain lean tissue, even during periods of inactivity.

Post workout recovery: Whey protein is quickly digested, and, right after you work out, encourages recovery and ensures amino acids are available to build lean muscle.

Your initial goal should be to wake up a mere 10 to 15 minutes earlier. Just roll out of bed and onto the floor for a few morning-friendly yoga poses or a quick set of push-ups, sit-ups, and lunges. You don't even have to change out of your pajamas. At this point, what you do isn't as critical as getting into the habit of doing something – anything – every morning. In other words, for the first few days, simply concentrate on making those 10 to 15 minutes of activity happen, any way you can. Then gradually get up 5 minutes earlier until you're exercising for at least 30 minutes each morning.

We all know someone who says they exercise for their mental health, and guess what? Research proves they’re right! It turns out that working out may be as effective at relieving mild to moderate depression as the antidepressant Zoloft, because it stimulates the release of the feel-good chemical dopa-mine in your brain, according to a study from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Just 30 minutes of walking a day can improve your mood.

In the small-city, American innocence of my youth in the 1960s, it seemed everybody went to church.

To my recollection, nobody talked much about Jesus Christ, but “Where do you go to church?” was a socially acceptable, non-invasive inquiry. God was at church, everyone went to church, everyone understood God was God, and God was good.

And in school, I learned that in 1776 our nation declared its independence in no small part because people “are endowed by their Creator (capital C) with certain unalienable Rights.” It made historical sense to recite daily the Pledge of Allegiance, facing the American flag as “one nation under God” (no comma).

How surprised I was to learn years later that the Pledge was relatively new (1892, Francis Bellamy), and “under God” was really new (1954, President Dwight Eisenhower). “In God We Trust” on our paper money first appeared in 1957, having been adopted officially as our national motto in July 1956.

Given that era’s bristling Cold War with the Soviet Union, the motto was a “purpose pitch” promoting American values like God and free-dom. Some dismissed it as mere propaganda against godless Communism, but so what? Communism was a horrible idea, horribly ap-plied, with horrible effect. Communism chokes

individual freedom, creativity, wealth ... and God.

Anyway, even today 90 percent of Americans like the motto.

So why is it that so many of us are willing, happy, even thankful, to Trust in God, while so many also blanch at any public confession of the miraculous, freeing character of redemption through the saving power of Jesus Christ?

These thoughts cross my mind when a great American like John Wooden dies. In his death, our culture reduces John Wooden’s enormous, demonstrated, lifelong, prosperous, humble faith in Jesus Christ to sports, championships and coaching.

Mercy gracious sakes.It’s hypocrisy that all this reporting is done

with an understood wink of the mass media’s eye. Everyone knows Wooden was a devout believer in Christ, and that every corner of his life witnessed to his Christian faith.

Wooden’s is what an abundant, American life in Christ is supposed to look like.

If truly “In God We Trust,” why is “Christ” so hard for so many Americans to say?

Bob Walters (www.believerbob.blogspot.com, email [email protected]) notes that while Wooden wasn’t shy about his faith, the media only reports on earthly rewards.

A wooden response to real faith

COMMentarYBy rachael noble

Have you ever dated someone, and your in-tuition kept telling you something was wrong, though you couldn’t put your finger on it? Perhaps you see little signs, such as your partner consistently turning his/her phone off, “disap-pearing” for a couple days, etc. And when you question them about their behavior, they turn the argument around on you, saying you’re psycho and controlling (making you question your own sanity).

We all have our insecurities and hurts. But if you find yourself dating someone with the personalities below or even displaying some of these behaviors yourself, it may be time to rethink your relationship and/or your own emo-tional health.

The forever player• Cheats and/or lies, and then tries to justify

actions• Shows just enough emotion to make part-

ner think they’re interested, but will never settle down and tends to keep options open

Insecure dysfunction junction• Consistently goes back to or hangs on to

someone they know is wrong for them • Tries to control the relationship out of inse-

curity or allows partner to control them for fear of losing them

• Rushes into relationships too quickly • Consistently talks about past relationships

and hurts (subconsciously trying to work through these problems)

The border line or full-blown sociopath (be careful of this one!)

• Is a martyr, blames partner and society for misfortunes, mistakes and relationship problems, rather than looking at what they did wrong

• During arguments, brings up partner’s past mistakes to avoid dealing with the current issues (shifting the focus to something other than their own dysfunctions)

• Hurts their partner and feels no remorseThe super selfish shyster • Is never quite emotionally available • Drags someone on, though having no in-

tention of committing• Takes and doesn’t give• Always focused on self• Takes partner for grantedDo you see yourself or someone you’ve dated

in some of these examples? If you are continu-ously drawn to someone who displays these be-haviors or you deem your own self guilty, then perhaps you’re overdue for taking some time for reflection and should consider getting some help.

Tonka is a 3-year-old male white Ameri-can bulldog mix. Tonka is a highly social and outgoing boy who loves toys – sometimes a little too much. He will need an experienced handler who will work with him to teach him how to share and protect his toys or food. Resource guarding is a correctable behavior, but until Tonka can overcome this tendency, he needs to be in a home without children. He is a smart guy and knows the com-mands “sit” and “down,” and he is willing to learn more. He is neutered and is more than ready to move into his forever home.

Fiddler is a 2-year-old male black DSH. Fiddler hails from the Fishers area, as he was found there by a kind animal lover. He is neu-tered and has the loveliest green eyes. This highly evolved male is clearly in touch with his feminine side; he is very affectionate and enjoys cuddling. He checked into the shelter Dec. 15 and has been very patiently waiting for someone to discover his charms. He knows that the calicos and the ginger cats get the most attention, but take it from us, Fiddler is worth his weight in cuddles!

For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974 or go to www.hamiltonhumane.com.

» Collecting for a cause – Gale Penno of Gone to the Dogs has been collecting clipped animal hair for use in oil spills for about a year. Since the Gulf spill, she has received assistance in this from Carter Veterinary Medical Center, Animal Arts Academy, Great Clips Hair Salon and Brenda Moore. Penno said she would like to thank all who have assisted her during the past several weeks.

» Adopt a Cat Month at HSHC – June is Adopt a Cat Month at the Humane Society of Hamilton County. There are reduced fees for both cat and kitten adoptions. Kittens are $55 to adopt, or if you choose to adopt two kittens, the fee is $100. Cats age 1 and older are $45 to adopt, but $80 if you decide to adopt a pair. If you’ve been waiting to adopt a cat, June is the month!

» Sensitive kitties -- if your cat bites your hand while you're petting him, you've missed more than a couple of messages from him asking you to stop. The key one: a tail twitch that becomes more agitated, and finally escalates into a noticeable thump or thrash. For a highly reactive cat, restrict your caresses to be-hind the ears, under the chin or the base of the tail. Pet him in the safe areas on his body only, watching for the first sign of a tail twitch.

COMMentarYBy John Mikesell

Dogs and kids can be the best of playmates. Sometimes, they develop this relationship all on their own, and sometimes they need some outside assistance to become fast friends. It’s not uncommon for the basic dog-kid foundation to be solid, with just a few rough edges that need smoothing.

1. Supervise: Dog trainers say it all the time: Never leave small children alone with even the most trustworthy dog .If you’re present when play starts to escalate out of control, step in and calm things down. Without your intervention, your dog gets reinforced for its inappropriate behavior.

2. Make rules: Of course children need to be able to run around with out worrying about a canine ambush. Set some house rules that are designed to minimize chase and nip games. If your dog loves kids, it’s fine to allow your small children and their friends to hang out with the dog (under direct supervision, of course); your older children and their friends can hang out with the dog with less supervision.

3. Train your dog: The better trained your dog is, the easier it is for you to calmly and quickly intervene. A gentle “come” or “down” cue for a dog under good stimulus control is all it takes to abort the chase-and-nip game. Be sure to deliver high-value reinforcement when your wonderful dog responds immediately to your cue.

4. Teach your children well: The best way to train your children to interact appropriate-ly with your dog is to include them in your dog’s training program. You can teach even very young children how to elicit polite sit from your dog by raising their hands to their chest – if you’ve taught your dog this body-language signal to sit.

5. Read the right the stuff: Trainer/author mother Colleen Pelar has written two ex-cellent books on dog-kid relationships. Her first, “Living with Kids and Dogs Without Losing Your Mind,” is loaded with ex-cellent advice for parents. Her second, “Kids and Dogs; A Professional’s Guide to Helping Families,” is written for those dog training professionals who don’t have chil-dren of their own.

Five things to do when your dog chases kids

COMMentarYBy gary hubbard

Clickjacking is a ma-licious Web coding technique that presents visitors with buttons or items to click that actu-ally do something differ-ent than what is being presented.

There is literally an invisible layer of code that determines what will actually happen when you click on the visible buttons, generally represented as common “submit,” “click here” or even “cancel” buttons.

Essentially, a clickjack-ing page tricks a user into performing undesired actions by clicking on a concealed link.

There are two technical ways for malicious sites to trick you via a clickjacking exploit.

JavaScript and Flash are Web-coding systems that are very common across the Internet, and both can be exploited to trick folks into clicking on something that will do something entirely different.

Clickjacking is not an operating-system-spe-

cific exploit; it is a browser-based attack, so it impacts Windows, Mac and

Linux users the same.JavaScript is used by many

Web sites for legitimate purposes, so disabling it in your browser will bypass clickjacking attempts, though this isn’t very practical if you want the functionality many Web sites offer.

Having a tool that allows you to decide which sites can run JavaScript and which ones can’t is the best combination of protec-

tion and functionality at the moment.

The best tool for protecting yourself from rogue scripts is

called NoScript (http://noscript.net/getit); it is a free add-in for

Mozilla’s Firefox browser. NoScript is a tool that basically stops all

scripts from running until you say it’s OK to run them, so in the early stages of installing this tool, you will have to approve the running of scripts on every Web site you visit in order to make full use of each site.

If you visit a site you are not sure about, you

can tell NoScript to temporarily allow scripts to run, which means that the next time you visit this particular site, the scripts will still be blocked.

The other exploit involving clickjacking has to do with Adobe’s Flash Player software, which is used to deliver animation and video on mil-lions of sites. It’s possible for a malware author to create a Flash game that prompts you to click on items as they appear on the screen, while in the background you are authorizing the remote system to access your Webcam and microphone!

There are two ways to avoid being victimized by this exploit. The first is to make sure you have the latest version of Adobe’s Flash Player by going directly to Adobe’s site and manually downloading it: http://get.adobe.com/flash-player .

The second is to make sure that you tell the Flash Player to always deny access to your Webcam and microphone by any of the Web sites that you visit. This can be set up by going to the online Global Privacy Settings panel lo-cated here: http://bit.ly/dsQsBp.

» Guitar Hero guitar redesign – “Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock” brings with it more than just 90 new tracks and some additional game modes; it'll include the biggest controller redesign since the original title in the franchise. While new Guitar Hero games will con-tinue to be backward compatible with older guitars—all of the buttons remain unchanged—the new wireless controllers have consolidated all of the electronics into the neck and fretboard, leaving the body free of any responsibilities beyond aesthetics. A great gift for the young-at-heart dad on Father’s Day.

» Faster 3DS – It seems that several developers have let the cat out of the bag that the upcoming Nintendo 3DS will feature processing speeds that are on par with the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles, where both far exceed the Nintendo Wii. Rumors abound that the Nintendo 3DS will sport an NVIDIA Tegra chip, but IGN's developer sources claim that those are false. Still, nothing official has been released from Nintendo just yet, but if the 3DS is anything that the developers claim it to be, we could be looking at a real visual treat in the near future from the masters of handheld consoles.

COMMENTARYBy Mike redmond

I’ve just come in from the back porch, where I spent a very productive half-hour watching the fireflies.

And people think I don’t use my time wisely.Actually, I think there is a great deal to be

said for sitting on the porch, doing nothing the rest of the world might deem important. For starters, it’s a good way to digest the strawberry shortcake you shouldn’t have eaten but couldn’t resist because the strawberries are so good and the season is so short.

Better than that, though, is the practice of using your brain for nothing more than trying to guess where the next lightning bug will flash. If your brain is anything like mine, it runs on the very edge of being overloaded, every single waking hour. A few minutes of this diversion might mean the difference between getting up and going to work the next morning, or waking up wearing one of those jackets with the sleeves that buckle in the back.

Fireflies are extraordinary little creatures. For one thing, they’ve pretty much got the “bug

with a butt that lights up” thing all to them-selves. If everything that flew around the back yard did that, they wouldn’t be a big deal at all. And frankly, it would be kind of annoying.

Fireflies also hold a special place in our col-lective memory. Is there anyone among us who didn’t once upon a kidhood venture out in the yard on a warm June night to catch light-ning bugs? The very mention of it conjures up thoughts of me and my siblings and a dozen or so of our cousins, running around Grandma and Grandpa’s yard with peanut butter jars, trying to catch enough bugs to make a lantern.

We always punched holes in the lids of the peanut butter jars so the bugs could breathe. And we always made sure to put a stick in there for them to perch on, and some grass for them to eat. We didn’t know for sure that lightning bugs ate grass. We were guessing.

(I just looked it up. According to a Web site I found, some fireflies eat pollen; some eat other insects; some eat flowers; and some don’t eat anything at all. No mention of grass.)

Of course, we never got the requisite number of bugs to make a proper lantern. Just about the

time you’d get on a roll some adult would come to the back door and tell you to come in for a bath and bedtime.

Who cared? The point was to be a child on a soft summer evening, in that special time be-tween the setting of the sun and the appearance of the stars, running noisily around the yard with the people you liked most in the world. It was to be free of the encumbrances of school and homework, chores and trombone practice. It was to be a kid, in the fullest and happiest sense of the word.

I see the lives kids have today – so busy, so complex compared to my kidhood – and I wonder if they ever get that chance. I hope they do. I see the grownups with the overloaded brains and I hope they do, too.

And I hope someone passes along that stuff about the firefly diet. Remember: No grass.

COMMentarYBy Dick Wolfsie

In my role as a TV reporter, I often receive inquiries from people requesting that I do a seg-ment about their product or service. I am always on the lookout for stories that will engage the viewer and create, what we call in the business, water cooler conversation.

You can imagine my delight when I found this request in my e-mail inbox the other day:

“Dear Mr. Wolfsie: A recent survey conduct-ed by Flexmar Pharmaceuticals polled people with arthritic dogs to determine if certain home features are prevalent where these dogs live. Are you interested in knowing the results?”

I was. The study was done in Fort Myers, Fla., the unofficial international center for ar-thritis complaints, where Motrin and Aleve have replaced after-dinner mints at Cracker Barrel and most people stay married for 50-plus years, mostly because they can’t get their wedding rings off.

But who knew that Fort Myers was also the canine capital of cartilaginous calamity and that from the tiniest poodle to the heftiest Saint Bernard, our furry friends don’t really crave T-Bones and tummy rubs, but instead yearn for a simple time-tested ingredient to stimulate joint fluid lubrication. Sorry, I know I’m taking

the romance out of “sit” and “roll over.”The company claims the supplement is also

effective with canine gout and fibromyalgia, two maladies I was not aware a dog could get. About the last thing I want is my beagle complaining about his aching big toe. And sorry, you just can’t tune a guitar to, “My dog has stiff joints.”

Instead of obsessing about high-tech kitch-ens, walk-in closets and home theatres, Flexmar believes newlyweds should focus on the star-tling statistics they’ve provided, in order to avoid poor real estate choices. The fate of your 16-year-old cocker spaniel is at stake. Go to any home with an arthritic dog and this is the scary stuff you will find inside ...

• 43.8 percent have tall furniture • 68.3 percent have tile floors • 63.6 percent have stairs • 54.2 percent have backyard patios with

cement flooring • 36.7 percent have no backyard I was dumbstruck by these numbers, even

more incredulous than when I read in USA Today that 41.9 percent of all sandwich mavens prefer mayonnaise and only 16.4 percent opt for mustard.

Let’s face it, only the totally self-absorbed would buy a set of kitchen stools so high that their aging Schnauzer can’t belly up to the bar.

And why isn’t there a law requiring a plush carpet in kitchens? Don’t they have adoption screening at Humane Societies? I don’t want the government intruding in our private lives any more than you do, but I think laws mandating pet elevators in all newly built homes is why we elect a Congress in the first place.

By the way, who performed this bizarre door-to-door survey? Probably some federal agents from Arizona who were a little uncom-fortable asking folks if they had their immigra-tion papers, so they decided there was less of a chance of violence if they inquired about their cement patios.

I’m not insensitive to the pain that older dogs must endure. My beagle, Barney, and I hobbled around together for the last few years of his life. The dog was a always little whiny about all his infirmities. He demanded extra petting and Pupperoni because he claimed his rheumatism kept him up at night, which was his excuse for snoozing all day. I didn’t believe a word of it, but I didn’t argue with him. Let sleeping dogs lie.

This project combined a major custom kitchen remodel with a complete renovation of the exterior patio. The goal was to connect the inside to the outside.

NEW DECKING: The homeowner decided to completely remove the existing deck and replace it with a new enlarged deck with access through patio doors right off the new kitchen. This phase of the project started with the removal of the existing deck boards and railing. New 5/4” x 6” IPE hardwood decking was then installed using hidden fasteners to preserve the wood grain. A new rough-sawn cedar top rail and bottom rail were then connected to the new 4x4 cedar deck posts and finished off with new powder coated aluminum balusters.

PERGOLA: A new rough-sawn cedar pergola was installed over the new gas grill to provide some shade from the sun. The new pergola, approximately 15’ x 4’, was installed and required new foundation piers for support.

FIRE PIT & PLANTER BOXES: The new fire pit required a new foundation to be dug to support the new structure. The new foundation included installing concrete block with special fire rock and a 4” slab in the fire pit location. A new gas line was

also run to the new fire pit. The new flower boxes were installed with open bottoms to be open for drainage. Finally, the concrete block was covered with new Adirondack architectural stone veneer flats and corner pieces.

KITCHEN EXPANSION: The design phase for the kitchen re-sulted in the wall between the kitchen and dining room being completely removed. This allowed a newly expanded kitchen. All perimeter cabinets were new custom cabinets in Heartwood with a Wheaton standard sheen stain. The new island cabinets are all

full overlay custom cabinets with medium blue stain color in a standard sheen. Some of the highlights of the kitchen include a new copper farm sink, custom range hood and matching cabinet panels installed on the new Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator.

Connecting the outside with the inside

COMMentarYBy holly Funk

While doing some spring cleaning in my garden – a chore that never gets done inside my house – I take a mental inventory of plants that have returned for another growing season.

I mumble around the garden, turtlehead …check. astilbe …check. Kousa dogwood (albeit a twig to begin with)…what happened to it?

It seems to have fallen victim to a desperately voracious cottontail. Now, I am hoppin’ mad.

They’ve always munched on my flowers and although I wasn’t happy about it. Bunnies have to eat, too, right? Who am I to deny them nourishment?

But this time they went too far by dining on my beloved three-foot tall dogwood baby. VARMINTS!

Now, that I think about it, I have always tolerated their abuse. In fact, I am flooded with painful memories.

One time, biting my lip as I forced a smile, I rea-soned with my daughter as we stood over a patch of freshly chomped muscari. “You’re right, sweetie, at least the bunnies aren’t hungry now.” Sheesh.

Same deal with my oriental lilies. The antici-pation I have while planting their plump little bulbs slowly slinks away as I discover the nib-bled stubs, where just the day before, tall, sturdy

stems donned glossy green leaves. Must be the rabbits are collecting Cottontail

Tax. I’ve heard all the remedies for keeping rabbits

at bay. Set up pinwheels. Keep a dog. Well, my dog collapses in a heap after chasing rabbits in circles, and then I see them right outside the fence, high five-ing and giggling.

It might be time to wage an all out war. After all, I did not baby along petunia seedlings as treats for the rabbits.

This year, after each rainfall, I am going to spray each treasure with Habenero pepper spray – hot sauce mixed with water in a spray bottle. There will be no munching of lilies in the garden this year, Peter. Don’t even think about it.

Of course, come July all of this hostility will be redirected. Then I will be truly miserable, fighting heat, drought and mosquitoes all at the same time.

At least now the sun is warm on my face, rain is ample, and I have great hopes for the garden this year.

Hope that I get those blasted rabbits.
