The Future of Pain Care is Here!

“I am happy as can be! It is wonderful to have no back pain after the Laser Treatments from Dr. Srini”………

Robert Russell who is still back pain free at 8 months after treatment, is the world’s first patient to receive the minimally invasive Deep Tissue Low Intensity Laser Therapy (DT-LILT™) for failed back surgery syndrome. DT-LILT™ involves a new contact laser device for selectively destroying the C pain fibers while leaving the healthy tissues intact. DTLILT™ is invented by Dr. Srini and is first of its kind in the world. DT-LILT™ is NOT FDA approved and is available only at Advanced Interventional Pain Center.

“ I would say the future of pain care is here. With terrible leg pain I had hardly played any golf for the last 2 years. After getting just one treatment from Dr. Srini, I cannot believe that I completed the entire 18 holes with absolutely no pain ”…..

Otis Oliver, after permanent pain relief from peripheral vascular pain. He does not require surgery.

“ I had severe tail bone pain and sciatica after falling on a hard object. For five years I had suffered in severe pain visited many treatment facilities and have spent over $ 60,000 in treatments without any pain relief. I am simply delighted that after just one treatment I am pain free”….. Barbara Wolfe, one year after treatment.

“My knees are 100% pain free without surgery after Dr. Srini’s treatment and I feel 10 years younger!”.........

Mary Flora (Kokomo, IN)

“ Over three years I have suffered from terrible headaches, I also had low back pain. I was told there was no hope for my pain condition and was put on addictive medications that affected my everyday functioning. I am simply delighted that I am pain free after 3 treatments by Dr. Srini who explained the science behind my pain condition. He has proven that my incurable pain condition was indeed curable! ”….. Edwina Foust after receiving permanent pain relief from headaches.

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 several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, accomplished weight loss and enjoy outdoor activities once again. I encourage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back too!

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS WILL VARY. Advanced Interventional Pain Center is the nation’s only pain center to have consistently over 90% pain treatment success rates 4 years in a row. Advanced Interventional Pain Center promotes innovative minimally invasive treatments for long term pain relief without surgery or addictive medications. Advanced Interventional Pain Center aims to reduce healthcare spending by preventing ER visits, Surgical Treatments and Hospitalizations because of Chronic Pain.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that we must push for no tolerance of bullying at home, school, or on social networks. Carmel High School has been the poster child of bullying abuse for over a year. But, bullying is widespread. At a basketball game between central Indiana rivals, a spirited group from one parochial school called out the name of a member of the opposing team's spirit group then held up their middle fingers to express their point of view. Sadly, the ill-mannered girls group planned, colluded and bragged about their harassment later on Twitter and Facebook. In addition to face-to-face victimization, digital abuse is a growing danger. An AP-MTV survey of 1,267 14- to 24-year-olds revealed 50 percent have experienced some form of cyber bullying.

Victims can suffer long-term psychological effects, such as low self esteem, depression, anger, school failure, school violence or suicide. Bullying in all forms should be taken seriously, not ignored. Parents, teachers, and school administrators need to create a culture of accountability. Bullies should be held responsible for their actions. Parents should be vigilant about their children's use of social networks. We need a rebirth of empathy and tolerance, a return to civility. Civility is taught in the home. Isn't it?

Sharing the credit

It is our position that so far this season, the street department has been doing an outstanding job keeping the roads safe across our community. We can imagine the challenges that come with salting, shoveling and other maintenance that comes with snowfall, but, in spite of meteorological challenges, our thoroughfares have remained passable and largely secure. Moreover, we have managed to accomplish this formidable challenge in a creative and cost-effective fashion.

Making use of city-owned vehicles as part-time snowplows not only allows for greater flexibility in providing services, it also reduces the capital expense for buying purpose-specific snow equipment. Moreover, it allows existing city employees to earn overtime. The overall effect is a more-affordable, more-detailed and more citizen-pleasing (and employee-pleasing) snow-removal operation.

Yet with ever-changing weather forecasts, it can be difficult to make a plan of action in terms of the appropriate measures to take to keep the streets safe. And, we understand the frustration when mid-day arrives and our street still has not been cleared. But, we believe that with the resources and manpower available that workers do a great job. We advise patience first, and then a call to the city.

protect a loved one. We have a particular interest in preserving that relationship. Yet others risk protecting strangers without a need for any individual or specific return. And, thank heaven for them. Absent the ones among us who will jump a gunman in Arizona, stabilize a government in Afghanistan or stop a felon on the streets of central Indiana, we would slip into isolated anarchy.

There are many who postulate. Perhaps glory – some call those who serve needy of attention.

Perhaps power – some call those who serve needy of authority. Personally, I believe they’re called to protect. I believe they feel it their mission to help provide for a community to which they identify – state, city, country.

Regardless of motivation, we would be lost without them. And for that alone, we should be grateful.

COMMENTARY

By Terry Anker The recent murder of Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer David Moore, killed during a routine traffic stop at age 28, reminds us of the personal risk assumed by those who will stand between us and harm’s way. Officer Moore is widely lauded by fellow officers, friends, family and all who knew him as one of the best among us. From his earliest days, he followed the rules, worked hard and succeeded the old-fashioned way.

There are scores of others like him who will perish in our service, either in military or civil uniform, across the country and on foreign soil in the months and years to come. Why are they willing to make those sacrifices? And are we doing enough to protect and honor their commitment?

Philosophers and religious thinkers have long attempted to unravel the motivation that brings a human being to put his or her life in peril to the benefit of others. Most of us immediately understand how one could step into danger to

Contrasted against the cutting political discourse we’ve been hearing out of Washington is a lot of optimism here about the new Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Business owners and managers, are less “freaked out” by President Obama’s assault on small business – not that it isn’t frightening in and of itself. Being independents, we caution our Republican friends that we need to take a wait-and-see approach. After all, we know what happened the last time Republicans controlled the House. Although we’ve heard and offered a lot of criticism about former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, we can’t help but admire her management skills. Let’s face it; she pushed through a radical national agenda, much of which was vehemently opposed by the majority of American citizens.

Yet she forged ahead regardless, stayed keenly focused, twisting arms when necessary, and getting – ultimately - what she wanted. We hope there is a conservative version of Ms. Pelosi leading the House, and we’re not yet convinced Speaker John Boehner can fill her shoes. We’ll see.

and raises were eliminated.

But those cuts weren’t enough.

“The heart-rending thing was eliminating 27 positions on Dec. 10,” he said. “We had a lot of sleepless nights over that because it was the last thing we wanted to do. Even with the cuts, $3 million still had to be funneled from the rainy day fund in order to cover costs.

In 2011, those funds will not likely be recovered. In fact, Dillinger said the county’s financial advisor has predicted a possible additional $4 million in cuts.

“Our only alternative may be to cut as many as 40 jobs,” he said.

Those jobs would most likely be in the sheriff’s department and highway department, but the county would also look at possibly reducing the courthouse operation to four days a week.

“Those are not good alternatives, and they’re not acceptable to us. And we will do everything in our power to avoid them,” Dillinger said. “It is the price you pay for paying lower taxes.”

By Brandie Bohney Current in Carmel Hamilton County faces significant challenges in the coming year in spite of an enviable cash position. County Commissioner Steve Dillinger said in his 2011 State of the County Address last Wednesday that, although Hamilton County remains an outstanding place to live, 2010’s budget cuts and possible projected cuts for 2011 could significantly impact services in the county.

“Our financial situation in the county is very stable, but it’s also very challenging,” Dillinger said.

He noted that the county currently holds over $12 million in a rainy day fund and over $15 million in cash reserves. While many counties would envy that position, he said it’s a less favorable position than the one to which the county is accustomed.

In 2010, the county was twice directed by the state to make significant budget cuts. Cuts of $4 million were required in May, and those cuts were made without reducing staff. Then, however, the state came back in the fall and required an additional $7 million in reductions. The total of $11 million represented 13 percent of the general fund budget for the county, and the second round of cuts had a more significant impact on the county than the first. Supplies and travel were cut enormously, county employees’ health insurance costs went up in order to lower the amount the county had to pay, and overtime

Laying out birthday expectations

COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson Today’s my birthday. (Not today, of course.

I had to submit this article a while back!). In exactly two hours and six minutes, I will officially turn 39. Yeah, I said it. The big 3 – 9! I’m thrilled to be nearing 40 and I’ve enough selfconfidence to let everyone know. Middle age?

Bring. It. On. That was fun. Actually though, I’m writing about something entirely different than a fear of growing older. Yesterday, see, I contemplated not reminding my friends and family that it was my birthday. A part of me wanted to test them to see who really loved me. Kind of silly, I know, but when I imagined the righteous indignation that I would be entitled too if Doo and the kids forgot, I have to admit it was a tad bit alluring.

Me, standing in the kitchen, my red hair aflame, tears running down my cheeks . . . I could already feel my inner drama queen rehearsing her lines. The Oscar would so be mine.

But because I have now lived a third of a lifespan, I know better. (Experience and maturity are certainly two benefits of surviving your twenties, along with a grocery card and

zoo membership.) I’ve made the mistake of not forewarning someone about an important date before, and it didn’t play out so well. Not only was I disappointed, but said someone felt terrible about forgetting. He also felt betrayed that I hadn’t reminded him: “You keep the calendar so I don’t have to!”

The fact is, we all want to be thoughtful and considerate when it comes to celebrating special times with loved ones, but we are also busy people. Sometimes it’s hard enough to remember to pay the mortgage or to send in lunch money.

Worrying about anniversaries and birthdays that only occur once a year is just too stressful.

At some point Doo and I had a conversation about all of this and made a deal. We would always remind one another about important dates, at least a few days ahead of time, and would also clearly lay out any expectations we had regarding that special day. Then everyone enjoys the moment and no little hearts are crushed.

So yesterday I unabashedly prepped my kids.

“Whose birthday is tomorrow?” “Yours!” “And what will you give me for my present?” “Peace and quiet!” “And what does peace and quiet en-

tail?” “No fighting, complaining or disobeying!”

“Excellent! Now run along, my precious children. Momma’s gotta plan a shopping spree.”

I also sat down last night with Doo and organized a lunch date. We decided together that a big dinner out would be too hectic and expensive, but an 11:00 a.m. Cheesecake Factory rendezvous would work perfectly into our schedules and budget.

I may not be able to plan for everything that happens today (My twin sister just called to tell me that her morning began with a traffic ticket), but I have at least laid the groundwork for a few pleasant moments, and chances are, I won’t be throwing a pity party come evening. I have also given my family the opportunity to feel good about celebrating my birthday. It’s a win-win situation, at least in these almost-40 eyes (that still don’t need glasses, thank you very much).

Peace out.

Visit eases Honduran adoptions working with MLJ adoptions to fix a government system that has time consuming flaws.

Small said, “Currently every single adoption from the country has to go through a rigid single approval process.”

She added, “By having the Director visit we are hoping that our agency will continuously be approved.”

MLJ adoptions has handled 3 Honduran adoptions in the past year, with 20 more in the approval process. An average adoption from the Honduras takes 9-18 months.

“Adoptions from the country have been taking place, just not in the numbers we would like,” Small said.

During her visit, Director Suyapa met with some of the Honduran children who have been adopted into families in Indiana. Small said, “She is truly committed to the well-being of the country’s orphans. She wanted to see what kind of life the children would have in Indiana.”

Michele Jackson founded MLJ adoptions and is also a founding partner of JHDJ. Jackson has personally visited the Honduras and developed partnerships in the country to help with the adoptions. MLJ Adoptions is a Hague-Approved Licensing Child Placing Agency with intercountry adoptions in the Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nicaragua, Bulgaria, Haiti and the Honduras.

By Lacey Nix Current in Carmel Thanks to a visit from officials with the Honduras’ National Family and Health Agency last week, international adoptions from the country will soon become much easier for Indiana families.

Last week Director Maria Suyapa and Secretary General Ivonne Torres of the INHFA from Honduras visited local adoption firm MLJ Adoptions. The visit to Indiana was a first by officials from the Honduran government and meant to help expedite the adoption process from the country.

Currently MLJ Adoptions in association with JHDJ (Jocham Harden Dimick and Jackson) Law is the only Indiana law firm with adoption rights in the Central American country.

JHDJ Media Specialist Amber Burton Small said the visit will help streamline the process and ease the orphan crisis in the impoverished country.

According to Small there are 143 million orphans across the world, 7,000 of which are currently in Honduras. The problem, Small says, is that many orphans in the country are undocumented and living on the streets, therefore making it impossible to give an accurate accounting of the crisis.

She said, “In an impoverished country parents who can’t care for a child don’t have the resources that American’s do, they might abandon the child.”

Along with Director Suyapa, the IHNFA is

The memory of a son inspires a father and sister to persevere in their climb to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro

By Lacey Nix Current in Carmel After climbing for five days to reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, facing altitude sickness and below freezing temperatures, Eric Frenzel and his daughter were ready to give up.

One lingering presence kept them going though, to the very top.

Seven years ago Lieutenant Eric Frenzel, a firefighter for the Carmel Fire Department, lost his son Tyler to leukemia. As he and his daughter Maria climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, Tyler’s memory and courage gave them the strength to do what at the time they felt impossible.

The climb to the summit took six days, and with 13-year-old Maria, overcome with altitude sickness, the two had to stop over 16 times on the way to the top with nausea, but giving up was not an option.

She said, “What kept me going was the fact that my brother Tyler had been through so much more. He put up with cancer and treatments every day. I kept telling myself that if he could do that, than I could climb a mountain, even if I didn’t feel well.”

His daughter’s mental strength was no surprise to Eric. He

said, “When Tyler was near the end, Maria helped pull us all together. She is a very mature 13-year-old; I call her my go to gal.”

The Frenzel’s took at seven day journey to and from the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. As a 12 year veteran of the Carmel Fire Department, Frenzel is used to physical activity, but admits he did no special training for his trip.

“I walked on the incline on the treadmill, but that’s about it.

It’s basically a hike to the top so you don’t need any specific training. It’s not the hike that gets you, it’s the altitude sickness,” he said.

Despite the struggle, Frenzel and his daughter enjoyed spending one on one time together. Maria said, “The biggest reason I wanted to go was because I wanted to do something with my dad. He has to work a lot and I knew that it would always be something special between us that we shared.”

At the summit, Frenzel and his daughter took time to take pictures with the Carmel Fire Department flag and remember Tyler and his dedication to others suffering from illnesses.

Before losing his battle with cancer, Tyler helped to raise money for Camp Emma Lou, a retreat in Bloomington aimed at offering families of ill children a place to spend time together away from the realities of day to day life.

Cincinnati Red’s player Scott Rolen founded the camp where the Frenzel’s still donate time and money in honor of Tyler. Carmel firefighters have volunteered time there as well.

Frenzel said, “I didn’t want it all to end like in sadness. We try to continue his legacy and help out.”

Tyler’s tenacity for life and dedication motivate the Frenzel’s everyday. Standing at the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro they felt a sense of accomplishment, something Tyler would be proud of.

Maria said, “Tyler taught me that I could do anything. He showed us how to face our fears. He taught me how to be brave and never give up. I know from his experience that life get pretty hard sometimes.”

After finishing the climb, Frenzel said Frenzel said, “Walking up you don’t even realize what you are doing, but when you get to the bottom you look up and think, we just climbed that.”

So much good in one weekend VOLUNTEERS

By Jeff Worrell Two big events are coming up this weekend at the Ritz Charles which you should know about. Both extravaganzas are geared towards raising money and having a good time. Interested? Should you want to go, the official deadlines for purchasing tickets have passed, but call my cell phone 317-696-0162 for a second chance to support The Trinity Free Clinic or The O’Connor House - or both.

On Friday, The Trinity Free Clinic is throwing its fifth annual “Tailgate for Care” Super Bowl-themed party. It starts at 6p.m. and includes a buffet dinner, cash bar, team competitions, games, prizes and lots of fun. Adult tickets are just $25 with all of the money benefitting The Trinity Free Clinic. Located on the campus of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, the clinic has been serving uninsured and underinsured families since 2000. The clinic provides comprehensive medical and dental care using volunteer specialty personnel from the surrounding area. Last week, the Rotary Club of Carmel donated a new machine that reads the prescription lenses for eyeglasses to make sure they are correct. Construction is under way for a brand new facility to house the clinic, making this year’s fundraiser especially important.

You like the Super Bowl? You like parties?

MonogramMaternity.com

You like supporting free medical care in your community? Then you will love The Trinity Free Clinic.

Don’t put away your party clothes yet. You can have more fun with a dash of philanthropy the very next evening. The O’Connor House is the place in Hamilton County for expectant mothers who already have children but need a place to live. Organizers of Saturday’s event will be especially excited that evening, as they are in the process of building a new home which will double their capacity.

Their party includes a silent and live auction, dinner and dance with a jazz band trio. The keynote speaker is Greg Sipes, PhD, who will share his techniques for “Soulful Parenting.”

Tickets are $60 per person for the 6:30-to-11 bash.

So, no good reason to stay home this weekend with these two back-to-back evenings right here in our backyard. What an inspiring example of the rich tradition of generous people doing great, important and life-changing work in our community. Join them.

Jeff Worrell is a local businessman.

More candidate announcements

Current in Carmel As the deadline approaches for filing for candidacy, more residents and elected officials are declaring their intent to run for the May primary.

This past week, former Carmel City Councilman Tom Kendall announced his plans to seek a position on the City Council in District 5, a seat currently held by Luci Snyder. Kendall served just prior to Mayor Brainard’s first term in 1996, and in his release set the tone of his campaign around business and economic development with “Say ‘Yes’ to Carmel”.

“Carmel has come a long way and there is too much at stake for all of the residents of Carmel in these challenging times to tear down what our City has accomplished. It is imperative that the members of the next City Council have a vision and focus that will enhance Carmel’s attractiveness for businesses to locate and prosper in Carmel. My focus in this campaign will be to get everyone in our great City to say ‘Yes’ to Carmel businesses and support those businesses

AFFORDABLE DOES IT ALL

who bring prosperity to our City as well as keep our property taxes low and our property values as high as possible,” said Kendall in his release.

Councilwoman Snyder also announced her plans to run for another term on the council and highlighted her experience handling city finances. “She ran on the platform that the job of the fiscal body was to spend the taxpayer dollars prudently and wisely, while moving the City forward and risk taking with public funds is neither wise nor prudent. She is also president of the Carmel Economic Development Commission. Luci believes that a strong, vibrant and growing business community helps to keep residential property taxes low and fund the amenities we choose for our city.”

In addition, Carmel Clerk-Treasurer Diana Cordray announced her intent to run for office for another term. Cordray called herself “a fiscal conservative who keeps taxpayers’ dollars her first priority.” As of now, Cordray does not have an opponent for the May primary.

February: A victim of mispronunciation-based misspelling GRAMMAR

By Brandie Bohney Probably. Should’ve (and would’ve and could’ve). Cavalry. Nuclear. All members of the Mispronounced Therefore Misspelled Club.

And because today is the first day of February, let’s induct the second month of the calendar year to the prestigious society of oft-misspelled words.

I have already discussed at length the myriad misspellings of probably, including prolly (my personal favorite), and the tragedy of should’ve, would’ve, and could’ve being spelled should of, would of, and could of just because of the way they sound. Cavalry and nuclear are less-often used, but they’re great examples (remember Homer Simpson: “Nucular. It’s pronounced nucular.”). I’ve decided to focus today on February.

February is a perfect example of why pronunciation really does matter. How do you say the second month of the year? Feb-yoo-air-ie or Feb-roo-air-ie?

If your answer was the first pronunciation, you aren’t alone. You’re wrong, but you aren’t alone. And if you pronounce February with –yoo- instead of –roo-, chances are good that you’re misspelling it as well as mispronouncing it.

Fortunately for so many Febyooarians, word processing programs are keen to the frequent

misspelling Febuary. Auto-correct on iPhone probably fixes it for you without your input. Of course, auto correct also fixes scores of words that aren’t actually misspelled, so relying on it isn’t such a great plan.

What’s unfortunate, though, is that even with modern technology to guide us through our mispronunciation-based torture of the spelling of certain words, most people don’t seem to learn from their mistakes. I still hear people mispronounce February on a regular basis. And unlike probably, the mispronunciation doesn’t even save you a syllable. Unless you’re grossly mispronouncing February (Feb-rare-ie? Feb-ree?

Yikes.), it really won’ take any more effort to say it correctly than it does to muck it up.

So this month, let’s all make a February Resolution to pronounce February correctly. It sounds better, it’s worth it, and with any luck at all, it will help you spell it correctly the first time so that you can avoid those pesky red zigzags under your words. And auto correct would probably change it to febricula or febrifuge or febrility, all of which make me feverish.

Also, airfare is 14 percent higher than a year ago and airlines are now charging for services that used to be free.

Feinstein makes appearance for young singers Current in Carmel Students at Carmel Clay Schools’ Towne Meadow Elementary School were in for a musical treat last week when Grammy nominated singer and the Center for the Performing Arts artistic director, Michael Feinstein, made an appearance during a school wide choir performance.

Towne Meadow Students last fall recorded a few songs from the Great American Songbook available for purchase on CD, with all proceeds from the fundraiser sent to several nonprofit organizations across Hamilton County. The success of the project was much greater than anticipated and students really continued to enjoy the music, even after the recording was made, an indication for music teacher Andy Himelisk that this was something students were relating with.

“It’s been great for the kids to really build a connection with this music and the history of the time period,” said Himelisk. “The kids have even picked up on some of the language of the music and are using it in everyday speech, like ‘What’s peaches’ from ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’.”

Last Wednesday, Michael Feinstein stopped by to see the children perform their songs, and also answer their questions about music, and perform a few musical numbers for them. Feinstein is both a performer and music historian, whose nonprofit organization, The Michael Feinstein Foundation, seeks to preserve and educate about the Great American Songbook. Answering everything from the schools he attended, what his parents did, and how long he played the piano, Feinstein and Towne Meadow students alike were happy to have the Songbook music being performed.

Venezuelan Hot Chocolate

Italian Cream Cake

Lemon Cheesecake with Caramelized Ginger

The hot chocolate at Simply Sweet Shoppe/Second Story Playhouse is not average hot chocolate. Co-owners Bernie Szuhaj and Jill Zaniker have re-imagined the classic winter drink and, with the help of a pure Venezuelan mix, have created three unique versions: a classic chocolate, Spicy Mayan and the Winter Blend.

Donatello’s is a wholly family-owned restaurant and grandmother Suzanne Bruner, is responsible for baking one of the signature desserts: Italian cream cake. Topped with butter cream frosting and coconut, the cake is made using a secret family recipe.

The cheesecakes at Blu Moon Café change weekly. In this lemon ginger version of a French cheesecake, the tartness of lemon combines with the spiciness of ginger creating a unique flavor.

Simply Sweet Shoppe / Second Story Playhouse 30 N Range Line Road

Brownie Dessert

Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream 210 W. Main Street

In this dessert, Bub’s has combined the best of ice cream and its toppings in an enormous, delicious dish. Luckily, it comes with two spoons. A broken up brownie, hot fudge, marshmallow syrup, French vanilla ice cream and whipped cream are layered in a crunchy waffle cup. If that weren’t enough, it’s topped off with chocolate syrup and a cherry.

Tartufo

Bazbeaux Pizza 111 W. Main Street

A chocolate confectionary, Bazbeaux’s classic tartufo has a zabaglione cream center surrounded by chocolate gelato and topped with cocoa powder and crushed caramelized hazelnuts.

Blu Moon Café 200 S. Range Line Road

Banana Cream Pie Muldoon’s 111 W. Main Street

Five bananas go into each and every banana cream pie made at Muldoon’s.

Manager Ann Cameron has worked at Muldoon’s for almost 30 years, formerly as a chef. “I’ve never had anybody dislike it,” Cameron said.

Dessert Bites

Woody’s Library Restaurant 40 E. Main Street

The dessert bites at Woody’s Library Restaurant are simply smaller versions of the regular-sized desserts available. Mississippi Mud, a lemon square, crème brulée, and bananas foster are all favorites.

Chef Richelle Rider says the dessert bites are one of the restaurant’s most popular items.

Cake Bites and a Shot of Espresso

Chocolate Mousse Pie

Beignets

SoHo offers several varieties of cake bites, including chocolate with toffee bits, lemon with vanilla drizzle and vanilla with chocolate drizzle and served with espresso. “These are like little bites of heaven. This is probably our most popular item,” said Haley Simmons, a barista.

The chocolate mousse pie at La Mie Emilie combines its French theme with its American location. The pie is light and airy like mousse, but also has the richness of chocolate. “I would recommend it any time of the day: breakfast, lunch or dinner,” Emilie Myers said.

The recipe and ingredients for the beignets at Mudbug’s are a closely guarded secret, but the most obvious ingredient is a substantial amount of powdered sugar. “Do not inhale or exhale when taking a bite,” Kelly LeBlanc, a waitress, said, or else you’ll end up with powdered sugar in your face.

Commissioning an original COMMENTARY

By Vicky Earley There comes a day in one’s decorating life when they realize that art can be more than a replica of an old masters painting. It can be an original that is about you and your emotions.

I received a letter from a Carmel reader and artist, Carolyn Martens, that offered some outstanding suggestions for anyone contemplating making that leap into art that is commissioned for a specific home and need.

1. Know what you want. Find examples of art you like, gather fabric swatches of your furniture, take pictures of the room where the painting will be hung.

2. Find an artist who matches the style you are looking for. Don’t ask artists to paint in a different style than what they naturally do or the results won’t meet your expectations.

3. Meet with the artist and share your vision. Decide how involved you want to be in the painting and set up in advance at what stages you want to approve of the painting’s process. Discuss pricing in detail.

4. Ask the artist to come up with several thumbnail ideas sketched out on paper.

When the artist is finished with thumb-

nail sketches, pick one and sign off on it.

Speak up at this point if it is not what was hoped for.

5. At this stage, the artist can rough in painting, take photos and e-mail it to client. Depending on what you agreed to up front, this can be done at several different stages of the painting.

6. Final approval should hold no surprises, especially if you have been a part of the creative process. One thing that flies in the face of any artistic endeavor is to change your mind past a crucial stage in the painting.

Carmel artist, Kathleen O’Neil Stevens, recommends that you check track record of the art-

ist doing the commission. Looking in to the previous performance of an artist could eliminate pitfalls. Nothing is more frustrating that paying a down payment and having the work sit on the easel for years without progress.

A few other things she recommends asking: Do they have references? How much of a down payment is expected? What happens if you are unhappy with the final result?

She added: “I like to have an in-depth interview in the home of the client that I am doing a commission for...There are so many things involved in a work of art that has yet to be seen. The client may not think to ask many things that are relevant to their home environment. Likes, dislikes, colors, design and the feel of what they have already been collecting.

“This new work needs to either set the tone of the design they are working on, or be an integral piece of the puzzle that completes it. The most rewarding part of my job is helping the client learn what it is they are looking for, and providing them with just that.”

Man Power

Gray is the new power color for men’s wardrobes this season. There is a classic connotation to gray, yet it is a color that looks sleek and modern.

Any shade of gray will do, light, medium or dark, it is a hard color to go wrong with. Men’s Health gives four tips when thinking Gray: 1. Choose a shade: Gray is an elegant color that goes with anything. Pair gray shoes, a belt or tie with any color suit or shirt.

2. Mix it up: Don’t wear the same shade of gray from head to toe. Mixing colors of slate charcoal or heather keeps things interesting.

3. Add texture: Patterns and texture keep this color exciting from casual plaids to dressy cashmere.

4. Wear with care: Gray leather tends to show stains and dirt more quickly than darker colors, so upkeep is important. Remember to protect your leather items with a spray or wax polish.

Shine On Lip gloss is one of the most popular makeup products on the market. It has the ability to transform lips instantly into a reflecting pout, and is a staple for women of all ages. Lip gloss is easy to use and provides quick results. It is easy to apply, even without a mirror.

While lip gloss is a coveted makeup bag essential, it often lacks the staying power of lipstick. But, if you brush on powder or use a matte lipstick before applying the gloss, you will find that it lasts a lot longer.

This season is the perfect time to try a new, glistening lip shade. Whether you enjoy a berry gloss, or something more natural like peach or nude, the makeup artists at Salon 01 can help you choose a shade that is perfect for your skin tone .

Coconut oil: The ultimate fat-fighting fat FITNESS

By Laura Marenco Everyone these days has some body fat they want to lose. Perhaps it’s those extra pounds following pregnancy that stuck around, or maybe it’s the midlife spreading waste line. It all comes back to making some dietary changes, and adding coconut oil to your diet is one way to help drop pounds.

So how can coconut oil help you lose weight? For one, it’s primarily made up of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), also called medium chain triglycerides. Unlike the typical long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) in our diet, MCFAs are easily broken down immediately for use rather than stored. Basically, the MCFAs from coconut oil produces almost exclusively energy, whereas, LCFAs found in other dietary fats produce some energy, but are more likely to end up as body fat.

And because the medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) found in coconut oil are rapidly absorbed for energy, they have thermogenic effects, which subsequently increases metabolism and helps burns your fat stores. One study, published in Metabolism found that the calories burned shortly after consuming MCFAs

were almost twice as high as from LCFAs: 120 calories versus 66 calories. The researchers concluded that the excess energy provided by fats in the form of MCFA would not be efficiently stored as fat, but rather would be burned Also, unlike hydrogenated coconut oils from the past, virgin coconut oil is not hydrogenated and has zero cholesterol. In fact, it’s one of the healthiest fats to have in your diet.

It also has other health benefits, such as lauric acid. Lauric acid is documented to have amazing antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal properties.

You can use coconut oil for all frying and stir frying. It is heat stable and has a shelf life of over one year. You can also use it as a direct substitute for butter, ghee, margarine and other culinary oils. When warmed (it needs to be liquefied, it solidifies at 70 degrees) and combined with a culinary vinegar and herbs, it makes an excellent salad dressing.

Tips to help prevent heart disease HEALTH

By Angela LaSalle According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease has surpassed all forms of cancer and is now the number one killer of women in the U.S. It is essential that women learn about heart disease, especially given the fact that 64 percent of women who died of a fatal heart attack had no previous symptoms. Here are some points that you might want to discuss with your physician about your own cardiovascular health.

Know your family history. Share with your physician whether cholesterol issues, stroke, heart attacks or diabetes in your family.

Know your numbers. Women’s cholesterol tends to run slightly higher than men’s, perhaps due to the effect of our estrogens or use of birth control pills. Having low HDL, or good cholesterol, is particularly problematic. High insulin levels, upward trend in fasting blood sugar or blood pressure issues are also important numbers to look at for cardiovascular risks. In fact, 50 percent of patients with type 2 diabetes already have significant coronary artery disease at the time their diabetes is diagnosed.

Make the changes. There is no way to get around the necessary exercise and dietary changes needed to reduce cardiovascular risks. Limiting processed fats and decreasing sugar is very important, and is getting at least 30 minutes of activity on a daily basis. If your doctor has recommended medications for control of blood pressure, heart rate or blood sugars, it is important to take your medications regularly.

Know the warning signs. Chest pressure, arm or jaw pain, nausea and shortness of breath that can herald a heart attack or can have a more subtle presentation and feel like heart burn, shoulder or upper back pain. A common symptom is fatigue. Needing to sit down or rest after stairs, housework or other day to day activities should prompt you to have an evaluation by your doctor.

Taking the initiative and discussing your risk factors with your doctor can go a long way in the prevention of a broken heart.

The delights are in the details BUSINESS

By David Cain I was in New York at a business lunch. The woman I was meeting was discussing items we had to cover and then began to ramble a bit on a tangent. Offhandedly, she mentioned her birthday was Jan. 20, said she would be turning 41 next year – in 2011. She continued talking and we finished the lunch. On my way out of the restaurant, I added her birthday to my phone’s contact list. I’ve got an application on my phone that fishes through my phone’s contact list and delivers me a text alert when a date of importance is near. On Jan. 20, I got the alert that it was her birthday.

It was good timing. I just had a conversation with someone at the office about the details of a relationship. How the little things make a big difference. I’ve noticed at the office that it is far too common for people to ignore the details of a relationship. And people you work with can be more than a little miffed if they don’t feel like you care. It’s easy to forget that a big part of caring is in the details. For example, saying “thank you” when someone turns in a long night of work. It’s all too common to just think, “That’s their job.” The same thing seems to apply at home. All too often we don’t pay attention to the details of a relationship. We don’t recognize

the small stuff. We don’t show the appreciation and recognition that lets people know we care.

I notice I’m different with my kids and clients. With my kids, I always show a high degree of recognition of their work. I exaggerate the appreciation and I recognize every detail. I know their birthday. I know their favorite things. I appreciate that they give their best. I feel like I act the same way in my relationships with customers and clients. I strive to provide special treatment.

I was talking with that friend from the office about how we could all be better at recognizing and appreciating those closest to us – at home and work. Kelly’s birthday was great timing. He worked with her, too, so I sent him a text to let him know he should drop her a note, saying something simple, “Hi Kelly, I think today is your birthday. Make it a great day!” He thought it a joke at first but sent the message. Her enthusiastic and totally impressed response says it all. There are delights in the details.

The Gold Standard is a business offering a personalized approach to purchasing precious metals. Owner Jim Goens says many potential buyers are skeptical of shopping for precious metals online. His business allows for the coveted face to face interaction. “A lot of people don’t know how to go about buying precious metals,” Goens said.

Goens recently moved back to central Indiana from Chicago where he worked as a commodities broker specializing in precious metals. “I’m a Zionsville native. I wanted to operate this business near my hometown.”

Goens Goens said. The “FREE SILVER” offer currently advertised on signs posted in the business’s windows is not phony. Goens says customers should come in and ask their questions, take a three-question survey to receive a free silver mercury dime.

The Gold Standard deals only with actual physical precious metals: gold, silver, platinum and palladium. Those metals can then be quickly and easily positioned into IRAs. The business’s space is on the first floor with a storefront on Range Line Road. During the warm months, Goens says the pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk will be a good means of getting his business’s name out in the community.

Easy Jesus, diffucult doctrines SPIRITUALITY

By Bob Walters Does our eternal salvation depend on doctrine?

Recall that Jesus was crucified between two robbers (Luke 23:32-33, 39-43), one of whom has ever since been known as “the good thief.”

That’s because in Luke 23:42 he said, while hanging on the cross next to our Lord, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

No doctrine, no church, no tracts, no conversion, no baptism, no weekend prayer retreats, church golf outings or even mission trips. The good thief simply recognized Jesus for Who He was and what He could do. He professed faith, in so many words, that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God, trusting him as Lord and Savior.

The good thief thus established a relationship by expressing the truth, and Jesus gave him paradise. The first human Christ “saved” had faith, not doctrine.

So in light of that, I’m going to go with no, doctrine is not the key to salvation. Salvation has everything to do with recognizing the person of Jesus Christ as the son of God. Salvation is about professing the truth of our relationship with God. A smart friend of mine wrote: “What we call doctrine is in fact how we are related to God the

www.youarecurrent.com

Father in his Son because of how God came in Christ to bring to us His Kingdom. If we think of eternal life as a doctrine or a statement the message of Jesus is lost, but if I take eternal life as the Father’s gift then there is a reception of a gift rather than having merely an ‘idea’ called the doctrine of eternal life.”

In other words, Jesus, and our relationship with God the Father through Jesus, is real. It’s not just a concept, idea, doctrine, explanation or vaporous opinion. It’s real.

Notice the good thief ’s literal proximity to the body of Christ. We are taught that the church is the body of Christ (Colossians 1:18 and elsewhere), and that it is only by being part of the body of Christ, the church, that we can follow Jesus’ instruction of both equipping ourselves with faith, and sharing that faith with others (Matthew 28:18-20).

So, don’t go it alone; join a church.

But Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6). Like the sign says, “Jesus Saves.” That’s all the doctrine we really need.

Bob Walters (www.believerbob. blogspot.com, email rlwcom@aol. com) figured out years ago you can’t hide anything from Jesus. Confess, repent, worship, try to do better.

Above all, have faith.

Help for the cheating epidemic, part 2 RELATIONSHIPS

By Rachael Noble Warning: These next few columns are a series on cheating and I will not be holding back on my opinions. So fasten your seatbelts.

I will confess that sometimes the idea of marriage scares me for the very reason that, although I don’t put out flirtatious vibes toward married men and I’m not sitting there in a trashy outfit that says, “I’ll help you cheat on your wife” (I am ALL about the girl’s club, ladies), I am shocked at the amount of men in relationships who try to cheat with me. And I’m sure I’m not special in that I’m not the only one with whom they’re trying to cheat.

I travel the U.S. for my job and I’m amazed at how many married men, who are also traveling, will so quickly disregard their wife at home to attempt an affair. It’s as if all those years of marriage mean absolutely nothing at the drop of a hat.

Some of these dudes are seemingly wonderful at first glance – men who attend church regularly with their families, who even talk about what jerks other men are for cheating. On one hand they will brag about how wonderful their wives and kids are, and then on the other hand they will “proposition” me. It’s as if they compartmentalize wife versus potential mistress.

I always wonder about their wives. Are they

completely naïve? And is it wrong to say naïve because shouldn’t we all trust our significant others?

Should every woman just openly trust? Or should we sleep with one eye open?

I once asked these questions of my mother who replied, “Maybe you are gaining a skewed viewpoint on fidelity.” But am I? How many times is one hit on by married men before starting to wonder if anyone out there is faithful?

And then I question what we all have been told – that we should trust our mates 100 percent of the time, and if we don’t naturally trust them, then we shouldn’t be with them in the first place. Is it wrong to start looking for signs to verify his fidelity?

If you were being cheated on, would you want to know? Would you wish you had kept an eye out for red flags? I can’t help but wonder if these guy’s wives do know deep down inside that their men cheat but they just stays with them for security.

Sorry to leave you hanging but there’s more to come in Part 3.

‘Wingin’ it’ doesn’t fly REMODELING

By David Decker There is a funny scene in the movie “Sleepless in Seattle” in which a construction supervisor (Rob Reiner) informs the architect (Tom Hanks) that the socialite client homeowner – well into a high-end kitchen building project – suddenly wants an enormously upsized refrigerator.

The change will take out a load-bearing wall causing weeks of delay but the double-wide monster fridge will be able to store party trays.

What some people see in that scene is a fussy homeowner. What I see is an inadequate design process that – from the start – should have been more attuned to the homeowner’s lifestyle and the kitchen’s intended function.

I know … it’s just a movie and I’m not criticizing Tom Hanks. But the value of working with a professional designer should be in always knowing what happens next.

Not knowing what happens next is called “winging it.”

People hesitate to spend money on design and instead “wing it.” I’ll grant you, winging it can be exciting but when it involves rebuilding part of one’s home it is a recipe for extra expense, time and frustrations, not to mention shortterm headaches and long-term disappointment.

This makes no sense. Proper design allows accurate bids and the security of knowing that the money being invested isn’t a gamble. Design is insurance that a home improvement will function well, is on budget, fits your time frame and is what you want.

A homeowner in the movies may be able to say, “I’m not worried about the walls” or time or expense, but in real life, design and project planning set a realistic course for a happy home improvement experience.

Are you ready to take off on building a new kitchen or bathroom? Make sure you know where a unique home improvement is going before launching the project. Winging it is no design for success.

Avoiding DIY blues REMODELING

BY Randy Sorrell Have you ever had a DIY project go bad?

Me, too. Frustration mounts, palms sweat and #@$&!! words fly as I reach for a glass of personal ointment. Here are a few steps to avoid DIY blues and rescue a project gone bad.

1. Research before you start, not at the peak of disaster. There are plenty of online resources as well as how to books and generous suppliers. Invest in research.

2. Get a professional contractor on your side and ask for specific steps to take.

Offer to compensate them for on-site guidance. Ask questions and take notes.

Be grateful and pay handsomely, you may need them again later.

3. Tools. Get the correct ones and rent if necessary. If it calls for a straight-edge spade, 20-pound sledge hammer, plate compactor, laser level or miter saw, get it.

And do not buy the cheap ones. The correct tools are essential to avoiding sloppy results and will complete the task more timely than a shortcut will.

4. Take your time, take an Advil and take a knee (to pray). Quality is not a race.

5. Being realistic regarding your talent level is critical. The bummer behind DIY

www.youarecurrent.com

disaster recovery is that it often will cost more than what you would have spent had you hired a professional initially.

Recovery Let’s hypothetically say that you need help.

Follow these strategies for a hopeful recovery: 1. Take a break. Often a few days off will cause the issue to seem approachable.

Revisit your research and suppliers for troubleshooting ideas.

2. $100. Remember that friendly contractor you bribed in the DIY TIPS phase? Give him a call, admit your state of frustration and plead for grace. Let them know you are determined to finish, but need help.

Mention that you can’t wait to compensate them for their knowledge and time. Have their favorite refreshment on hand when they arrive, as well as cash.

OR…punt and hire them.

Happy hammering, digging, painting, framing and happy trails.

Sleeping around HUMOR

By Dick Wolfsie He was sound asleep on a bench in the middle of the Orlando International Airport—head slumped over, legs draped over his carry-on bag.

Normally, I wouldn’t have given him another thought. Goodness knows, I have always boasted of my own daytime slumbering ability.

What made this dozer unique was his location: inside a four-foot-by-four-foot Plexiglass enclosure. I began tapping on the window, convinced he was a living statue, the kind you see at street fairs. It was, in fact, a sculpture by Duane Hanson, simulating what plagues many a sojourner: fatigue and boredom.

Sacking out in airports has become epidemic.

There’s even a Web site, sleepinginairports.net, with tips for people who get stuck overnight because of cancelled or delayed flights. The Snazzy Napper is the newest solution for all of us who have desperately sought to find a flattering way to position our torsos while sleeping either at the airport or in our seats aboard the aircraft.

Now you can scrunch and contort any humiliating which-way. Snore, drool and scratch to your heart’s content. Why? Because the Snazzy Napper will effectively protect your identity.

It’s really nothing more than a colorful cloth that fully covers your head and neck, like a

burqa—admittedly not the most inconspicuous garb at airports nowadays. The Snazzy Napper has one hole for your nose or, if you have a cold, you can insert your mouth there. You also can place your eye or ear in the aperture, but you will probably suffocate, a minor design flaw casually referenced on the warning label.

Many people are singing the praises of this invention on the Internet, but there are always critics. One woman is threatening a lawsuit, not because it didn’t work, but because it did: She caught some great zzz’s, but her purse, iPhone and carry-on luggage were all stolen while she snoozed, and they could be spending the rest of their lives in Tahiti.

One unhappy customer let her husband try it on in the car first, but they missed their flight, having lost precious minutes convincing a police officer that the two them were not on their way to a bank heist. Another guy was annoyed that the product did not come with a more complete set of instructions, the very reason he keeps returning his tube socks to Kmart.

Battling the allure of seed catalogs

HUMOR

By Mike Redmond Once again I am swept up in a fierce lovehate relationship with seed catalogs.

I love browsing through a seed catalog. It’s so full of hope. When the temperature is struggling to get above zero and the snow is turning the streets into ski runs, there’s nothing quite like settling into your easy chair, warm and safe, Horticultural Wish Book.

A D with MEvery ItheSpage S isIfullOto N the margins with photoAY THROUGH ONLY graphic THURSDAY possibility: Perfect red tomatoes, glistening slices of melon, juicy ears of sweet corn. Did I say corn? Porn is more like it. Garden porn.

This is where the hate part comes in, as in “I hate that I live in the city on a lot where the soil is composed mostly of crushed brick, glass, old bones and pop-tops, and I can barely grow crabgrass, much less vegetables.”

This is the curse of having, as one who knows me well recently put it, a rural soul trapped in an urban environment. It should be noted, however, that I had similar feelings when I was a kid trapped in a rural environment. Even at that tender age I knew that seed catalogs were a come-on, a wink and a promise, designed to lure gardeners into spending too much and, as a result, expecting too much. Perfect, crisp, juicy?

In your dreams, maybe. In reality you were arn valuable tips fromat misshapen, rubbery and probably looking inter Andrew Downward of bug-eaten.

gardener back then. I’m still not, but I have arrived at a solution, which I’ll explain in a minute.

Part of the problem in kidhood may have been my attraction to the most unusual plant varieties. Blue potatoes, black turnips, chartreuse cauliflower -- if it was weird, I wanted to grow it. The stranger, the better -- which, I realize, is simply a case of the produce reflecting the producer.

Seed catalogs give us license to dream, to indulge that trapped rural soul, to imagine the world as it will be in a fresh, warm spring. Of course, it also allows us to forget just how much work is required just to grow a decent salad, but remember this is garden porn. We’re not dealing with reality.

And that brings up the solution I mentioned.

If you have the same problem you can do as I did and get a job working for a produce farm, showing the place to visitors and telling them where their food comes from. Someone else does the actual work and you get to be outside in the fresh air and warm sun. Plus you get really good vegetables at the employee discount.

No blue potatoes, though.

2011 is World Veterinary Year

DISPATCHES

PETS

By Gregory Magnusson So, here’s the story. In 1740, an outstanding French horseman named Claude Bourgelat received his warrant as the Grand Equerry (horse guy) of France and was made Director of the Lyon Academy of Horsemanship. The Academy at that time was a school where young noblemen learned the equestrian arts and swordsmanship, together with mathematics, music and “elegant manners.”

Bourgelat was a scientist at heart. Over the next 20 years, he studied horses from a unique perspective. His stroke of genius was the concept of “comparative pathobiology,” the thendaring suggestion that studying animal biology and pathology would help to improve our understanding of human biology and pathology.

He studied dissection techniques with local human surgeons and taught himself the anatomy of the horse.

Fortunately for us, Bourgelat also was a writer.

Through over 250 articles, he documented his findings and discoveries about animal biology, and all aspects of horse care. He became an internationally known writer, and pretty much single handedly invented the science and study of veterinary medicine.

In 1761, King Louis XV decided that it would be a good idea to promote the prevention of cattle disease, the protection of grazing land, and the training of farmers. Bourgelat was the natural choice to head this project, and on Aug. 4, 1761, an order of the King’s Council authorized Bourgelat to “open a school in which

» Sleeping with pet brings disease risk – Sleeping with and “kissing” your animals puts you at risk for some serious medical problems, according to “Zoonoses in the Bedroom,” a study published in the February issue of the CDC journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. The study shows that staph infections, plague, meningitis have been spread to people by animals. Approximately 60 percent of all human pathogens could have been transmitted by an animal and more than 100 of the 250 zoonotic diseases identified come from domesticated pets.

-www.msnbc.com » Laser pointers frustrate cats? – Laser pointers, popular and inexpensive toys used by many cat owners, are said to be very frustrating for these pets, says Jackson Galaxy of littlebigcat. com. “Successful play therapy sessions provide satisfaction on all levels of predation, which means not just stalking, but catching and ‘killing’ as well,” he wrote. “When the pointer is used as the sole toy, the cat never actually catches anything. It may be amusing to us to watch them run around and around in circles, but remember, in the primitive cat mind, they live for the entire hunt, not just one aspect of it.”

-www.littlebigcat.com

the principals and methods whereby livestock diseases may be cured will be taught in public,” and the Lyon Veterinary School was created.

This year marks the 250th anniversary of that order, which started not only veterinary education, but also the veterinary profession itself.

Our profession has been serving humankind for 250 years. Modern veterinarians are not only animal doctors and animal welfare advocates.

They also are key public health stakeholders because of their crucial role in promoting food security and quality, controlling the spread of disease from animals to humans, biomedical research, and protecting the environment and biodiversity.

As the official Web site for World Veterinary Year 2011, www.vet2011.org states, “the entire world should join with us in celebrating our veterinary profession, which has been working to improve both animal and human health for the past 250 years.”

Basically, we’re in charge of not only keeping your cats and dogs healthy, but also keeping the world’s food supply safe, learning how to keep you healthy by studying animal biology, and keeping you free of exotic animal diseases.

So yeah, you’re welcome! Hug a vet today!

Dr. Magnusson, a practicing veterinarian for the last decade, is now the owner of Leo’s Pet Care, a new veterinary hospital located at 106th and College. Contact Dr. Magnusson at DrM@LeosPetCare. com or 317-721-7387 (721-PETS).

Pets of the week Bo is a one-year-old male black and white Border Collie/Shepherd mix. Bo is an active and veary outgoing boy who loves to romp and play. He can play fetch and he would make a great jogging partner or excel in agility competition. Bo is house trained and though he is good with children, his energy and enthusiasm may be too much for younger children to handle. He does well with other dogs, but he will need a home without cats. Bo loves toys, especially balls, so he hopes his new family will have lots of tennis balls for him.

Kong is a five-year-old female black and white DSH. Kong is a gorgeous girl with beautiful gold eyes and sweet and gentle personality. She is a petite girl, only weighing 7 pounds, so she will easily fit on anyone’s lap. Kong really enjoys human companionship and she would make a wonderful low-maintenance pet. She is litter box trained and qualifies for the PAWS Program – Partnering Animals With Seniors.

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