It is our position that the state of Indiana is losing valuable income as a result of its failure to adequately enforce laws requiring residents to purchase Indiana plates for all automobiles. Although Indiana’s budget is much healthier than many states, we can ill afford passing on any lawful opportunity for revenue. Office parks, manufacturing facilities, and even one’s neighborhood host numerous vehicles with out-of-state plates, often expired! Collectively, the loss of revenue from these vehicles denies the state much-needed tax dollars, all the while shifting the burden to law-abiding citizens. State law requires residents to register vehicles and purchase plates within 60 days of moving into Indiana. Likewise, we must secure an Indiana drivers license within 60 days. Failure to secure these represents a violation of the law, a loss of revenue to the state and a hindrance to law enforcement and other officials. No one likes taxes and fees. Yet the current financial situation is causing hardship for all, and “overlooking” these violations may seem harmless to some, but we citizens of Indiana are the losers. Officials must step up enforcement. And if we are unlawful, we must make an effort to find remedy or face the consequences.

Representative

It is our position that a healthy dose of skepticism is warranted whenever a person or group purports to represent a broad demographic. No large collection of people, whether defined by race, religion, geography, social status or other such criterion, can possibly possess unanimity in opinion on any topic, yet too often we see a person or organization advance a position on behalf of an entire group. Sometimes it is simply the loudest voice that drowns out the nuances of opinion within a group. Given his claims, does Al Sharpton represent the views of all African Americans? Does Rush Limbaugh speak for all conservatives? Other times, a formal association is used to advance a position that is not shared by all members. Many senior citizens join AARP for the discounts that come with membership, but disagree with its advocacy of ObamaCare and other matters of its political agenda. The media often facilitate this phenomenon by falling into the easy trap of defining the opinions of an entire group by the positions advanced by the most vocal of its members. We, as consumers of media and thoughtful participants in the democratic process, must be alert whenever it is claimed that “a group” thinks “this way.”

Every week, we will print a portion of the U.S. Constitution, followed by a portion of the Indiana Constitution. We encourage you to benchmark government policies against these bedrock documents. Today: the Indiana Constitution. Section 10. Selection of Justices of the Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals. To be eligible for nomination as a justice of the Supreme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals, a person must be domiciled within the geographic district, a citizen of the United States, admitted to the practice of law in the courts of the State for a period of not less than ten (10) years or must have served as a judge of a circuit, superior or crimi-

Tenure of Justices of Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals. A justice of the Supreme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals shall serve until the next general election following the expiration of two years from the date of appointment, and subject to approval or rejection by the electorate, shall continue to serve for terms of ten years, so long as he retains his office. In the case of a justice of the Supreme Court, the electorate of the entire state shall vote on the question of approval or rejection.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

DEDICATED TO HOPE, HEALING AND RECOVERY

OK, gents, help is on the way! We’re taking time out from ripping government excess today to alert you to an important development at Carmel’s Best Weekly Newspaper™. Our search for a managing editor is over. As of a week from tomorrow, Ellen Kizik – packing skills ranging from writing and editing to project management and publishing – joins the party. We urge you to welcome her as heartily as her soonto-be counterparts will. We’re talking about Jordan Fischer and Kevin Kane, respectively our managing editors of Current in Fishers and Current in Westfield. When our previous editor departed, we decided to carefully vet the field of candidates, from which Kizik rose to the top. In the interim, Fischer and Kane held down the fort, churning out and directing coverage for our four weeklies and the Carmel Business Leader. They did so willingly and quite admirably, and we wish to salute them here. It’s an exciting time for us, and we believe it will be for you and your fellow readers. ••• It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to an inventive, vibrant advertising partner, attorney Stephenie Jocham, the founder of Jocham Harden Dimick Jackson, PC, who

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg died last Thursday from a rare form of cancer at 42. The date of her passing was the third anniversary of the firm’s founding. She will be missed. ••• Congratulations to all the recent high school graduates in our midst. While some departing students may view the pomp and circumstance as a long, boring affair, the rest of us might tend to get a little choked up at this rite of passage. They represent what hopefully will become a great next generation. There remains so much to achieve, so much to accomplish, so much to repair. Our generation isn’t necessarily getting it done. The future is yours, grads. Own it!

In our own family, we struggle with the balance between what we give, what we buy, what we invest and what we save. Immediate needs so often seem to dominate more thoughtful consideration of building a purposeful future. With the harvest, we risk over committing, then face shortfall when the seasons change. So many of us plan retirement, mortgages, college loans and any of an array of moves ever expecting the sunshine to remain, yet rain does fall Ohers never enjoy the blue skies hiding indoors, expecting storm clouds. There have been times when we’ve raised our collective family “debt ceiling.” A new home, auto or business can easily require the hit. But there are, likewise, times when we retire debt and hold back, in spite of abundance, to refill the coffers. And so the debate rages and the perfect answer eludes.

Call NOW and be ready for this summer’s events and weddings!

Don’t we routinely push and pull to support our own perspective on how and when to use our resources?

Elusive balance COMMENTARY By Terry Anker As our government continues to push toward yet another temporary tax fix, we can all rest assured the issue is not resolved. Sure, a bill will be passed, and there will be great congratulations and chiding from all sides. Some will take credit for assuring the continuance of pet federal programs, while others will celebrate success in stemming the tide of run-away spending. But isn’t this debate continuing? Don’t we routinely push and pull to support our own perspective on how and when to use our resources? In times when our collective revenue is down (government rarely makes any money, but instead takes a share of that which it facilitates and we earn), the issue of allocation may be exacerbated. But it remains ever present even in times of great abundance. So if the debate over immediate needs and wants is recurrent, when do we address the more overarching issues? Can we ever consider the long-term and the short-term contemporaneously?

New location, same great Farmers Market COMMENTARY By Jeff Worrell The Carmel Farmers Market, in its new location at the Palladium, is sprouting fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods and Spark Buttons. Every year since 1994, the month of June signals itâ€™s time to buy a Spark Button. Spark Buttons are not only available at the Carmel Farmers Market every Saturday, but each Wednesday night at the Gazebo Concert Series and from select merchants in the Carmel Arts & Design District and around Carmel. Two versions of the clothing accessory classic are available this year. For just $3, the standard Spark Button is a brightly colored statement of your support for the B105.7 Fireworks at Carmelfest Launched by Firestone show. The spectacular array of bombs bursting in mid-air would not be possible without the generous donations of our sponsors and you, the Spark Button customer. Each time you purchase a Spark Button, you are automatically entered into a drawing for a $500 cash prize. The drawing will take place on July 5th and announced in local media outlets including Current In Carmel by July 12th. A Spark Button upgrade is available this year featuring a battery, sophisticated circuitry and LED flashers. A bargain at $6, you can witness your own fireworks show anytime with a Spark Button that actually â€œsparksâ€?. Still eligible for the $500 grand prize and considered a valuable

collectorâ€™s item, the $6 edition brings ooohhs and aahhhss to anyone staring at your lapel after dark. Although every SB buyer has the opportunity to win a huge cash prize, the bottom line is this; Spark Buttons give everyone the opportunity to do their fiscal part celebrating freedom. When you add in the value of the coupons for free goods that come with every button purchase, everyone wins. At 9:45 pm, as you look into the sky North of the Palladium, you can enjoy more than just the sights of Carmelfest, but also the sounds. The fireworks are synchronized to patriotic musical favorites and contemporary hits on B105.7, so keep your radio nearby and turned on. Behind the scenes, a dedicated cast of â€œButtoneersâ€? bring the program to life each year. Jack and Ila Badger, Jan and Mark Benedict, Susan Smith, Chuck Hook, Brittany Hook, Jene Arbuckle and Shari Worrell start their planning process in early January. By 9:45 pm on the night of July 4th, their work is complete only when the last shell has been fired, the smoke clears and they know there is enough money in the bank account to pay for yet another breathtaking fireworks spectacular.

ally find a better spot, and the check-out lanes at the retail section tend to be less crowded. You’ll also feel smarter. 3. I shouldn’t have to mention this, but I realize I am dealing with some amateurs here: Always park as close to a cart corral as possible. (And if you’re pregnant or have small children, take advantage of the “Expectant Mothers” spots!) This saves time and energy during the cart-to-car transfer and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 4. Start at the back and work your way to the front (or left to right in a horizontally laidout store). This prevents backtracking and usually puts you in the opposite direction of inefficient and inexperienced shoppers, whom you must avoid at all times. Pretend they are zombies. 5. Only use the self-check line if you have less than 10 items and 75 percent of those are pre-packaged. You are not a professional cashier! You do not know from memory the scan code for radicchio! 6. Never get in line behind women over the age of 30 (unless it’s me). I’m telling you straight up, this is one area where men actually have it down. They purchase less, never use coupons, and usually pay with cash. I think it’s because they don’t want

to be there, so they are trying to get out as fast as possible. Me likey! 7. Choose your cashier carefully. Ideally, you want a male. They chit-chat less and can easily be intimidated by your feminine wiles should a discrepancy arise. 8. Sort your goods on the conveyor belt into these categories: cold and frozen products, boxed goods, cans and jars, produce, and smooshables like bread and chips. This allows your male cashier to scan and bag more efficiently, and ensures that dairy and meat purchases stay colder longer. (Doo always teases me about this whenever I allow him to tag along, but just this weekend I had a cashier actually thank me (right in front of Doo) for my anal retentive organization and confirm that this technique does, in fact, speed up checkout. It was a delicious moment for me. So there you have it, good people of central Indiana. Now go forth and shop efficiently! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist.

COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I go to the grocery store at least twice a week, sometimes more. And on average, I spend about a hundred bucks per visit. Six to seven gallons of milk, five boxes of cereal, two bunches of bananas, yogurt out the wazoo, bread, snacks … you get the picture. The point is, I know my way around Meijer, and I have my grocery shopping down to a fine art. (“I work in dairy the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It’s my true medium. A master.”) Many of you, however, do not. So, in a moment of selfish kindness, I have listed below my steps to an efficient grocery experience. 1. Have a list. This is Grocery 101 here, people. You have to have a list of the things you need or want in order to maximize your budget and shopping trip. This is both to prevent you from buying things not on the list (impulse purchases like Pringles and beef jerky) and to ensure you get everything your family deemed important enough to actually write on the list. Usually it’s the stuff you don’t know about − husband’s razors, daughter’s deodorant, cat’s food, etc., − essentials that you will most definitely hear about when forgotten. 2. If you patronize superstores, park at the non-grocery end of the lot. You can usu-

Carmel author to release Western book series By Courtney Stiehl Current in Carmel Carmel Author Phil Dunlap’s novel Cotton’s War will debut nationwide on June 7th. The Western fiction novel starts a series about a sheriff’s exploits in 1880 New Mexico after a gang kidnaps his lady friend. Dunlap, who has written six published Western novels, has long loved the Old West. Growing up, he watched Western films at a local theater and often read historical fiction novels, he says. “During the time between the Civil War and the turn of the century, excitement and intrigue permeated the frontier,” he says. “I love reading about what made (it) such an attraction for all sorts of characters.” Although he writes about and studies the Old West, he says he enjoys working in Carmel. A life-long Hoosier, he says authors are able to send manuscripts to publishers wherever their location. He says it’s the “state of mind” that’s important. In addition to writing novels, he worked as a correspondent for The Indianapolis Star for nine years. He has also written numerous articles for regional and local publications. Still, Dunlap’s passion for the West appears

Carmel Marathon’s Todd Oliver faces his trials and triumphs mightily? By Jordan Fischer Current in Carmel “I remember the first time I ran two miles on the treadmill,” recalls Todd Oliver. “I got off and looked around like… did anyone just see that?” Oliver is the president of the Carmel Marathon, the inaugural run of which will be held on Saturday. The event is the culmination of nearly two years of planning and work by Oliver, and the marathon’s parent company, the Carmel Racing Group. Oliver himself has become an avid marathon runner since his first in 2002, the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, TN. He’s gone on to run a total of 10 marathons in seven different states, including the prestigious 2011 Boston Marathon, to which more than 100,000 qualifiers applied. Next on Oliver’s list is the Berlin Marathon in September. In 2008 alone, the Berlin Marathon drew more than 1 million spectators. Running for himself “I played baseball in high school, and running was always a punishment,” Oliver said. “If you didn’t do something well, you ran laps. It took me until after college until I enjoyed running again.” It was 15 years ago that Oliver says he began running for fun and fitness. Seven years later, he joined the Indianapolis Runners Club, and eventually became the president. His love for running continued growing, to the point where he merged his professional background and new avocation into an event management company through which he organizes 5k run/walks for charity. In the week before the Carmel Marathon Championship Weekend, he was traveling to Denver to do just that. For Oliver, the draw to run comes from more than simply the obvious fitness benefits. “It’s such a cleansing thing for your body,” he said. “It cleanses your mind through the endorphins. It allows you time to release, to think. It’s one of the things that… it becomes like medicine.” According to Oliver, marathon runners compose an elite sect of the population. “Only 1 percent of the U.S. population ever finishes a marathon,” Oliver said. “So what we tell people is, you can be the last person to cross the finish line, you can walk to the finish, and you’ll be considered an elite athlete. You’ll be part of that 1 percent of the population. That motivates a lot of people.” And motivation is key, he says, to make it through the intense training required for more competitive marathons. For the Boston Marathon, Oliver spent 16 weeks training, and ran more than 400 miles to prepare for the 26-mile race. “That’s why spectator support is so important,” Oliver said. “They remind you that all those training runs in the rain and the heat with no one around weren’t for nothing.” Pushing through the pain “I remember it distinctly,” Oliver said, recounting an injury which nearly derailed his chances to run in Boston only eight weeks before the race. He recalled, “We had six inches of snow that day. I slipped and fell on the ice, and tore my PCL (a major ligament in the knee). The doctors told me I had a 50/50 chance of needing surgery, and the

Carmel Marathon had the winning bid to host the 2011 USATF Men’s 8k Championship. diagnosis was no running for 8-10 weeks.” “I said to myself, ‘I’ve been trying for four years to qualify for Boston, there’s no way I’m not going to do it.’ ” Oliver said. Oliver began walking in two weeks, and by six weeks was doing 20-mile training runs. On the eighth week, he ran Boston. “My time was the slowest marathon I’ve run because of my injury, but it was the most fulfilling marathon I’ve ever run,” he said. “And that’s what we hope for the Carmel Marathon. For a lot of people, it may be their first marathon.” Not only is this year’s Carmel Marathon a qualifier for the Boston Marathon, it also will host the 2011 USATF Men’s 8k Championship, which pays a $20,000 purse to the top 15 finishers. Oliver said participants have registered from 42 different states, and three countries. The weekend will also feature a half

The NCEE report lays out a comprehensive agenda for education reform, including less-frequent standardized testing, a funding-equity model that prioritizes the neediest students, and greater emphasis on the professionalization of teaching.

GRAMMAR LESSON By Brandie Bohney When my older daughter was an infant, I was picking out tile at a home improvement store with her when a kind elderly gentleman stopped to tell me what a beautiful child she was. She was – and still is – a beautiful child, and I was flattered except that the man kept referring to her as a boy: “What a darling little guy,” “He’s so happy,” and so on. Normally, determining the gender of an infant can be hard: most babies look like some combination of Winston Churchill, Yoda, and a boiled chicken. But clothing can provide an important clue, and on this particular day, my daughter was wearing a purple shirt with pink and green flowers on it and pink, green, and purple-striped pants. Very girly. In much the same way, most of the time, nouns are good at showing their plurality. Of course, just as in the case of the kind man at the hardware store, some people are going to screw them up anyhow. But in general, they’re pretty obvious. But what about the nouns clad in green or yellow? You know what I’m talking about: species, ethics, dominoes, measles. What are they? Singular? Plural? Both? Unlike the baby wearing an ambiguous color, these nouns aren’t one or the other. They’re

both. There are a few types of nouns that have the same form whether they are singular or plural, but both forms appear to be plural because they end in –s. The trick in using these stubborn nouns correctly is simply in knowing whether you mean to use the word as a singular or a plural. For example, measles is singular when referring to the disease but plural when referring to the spots on one’s body. Measles is a viral disease. Drew said his measles were itching. In the case of ethics, when referring to the study, it’s singular. When referring to moral principles, it is generally plural. Ethics is a challenging major. The boss’s ethics are questionable. And so on. As with so many word-specific issues, if you aren’t sure, look it up. It only takes a moment to check the definition online or in a handy pocket reference dictionary (everyone has one of those, right?), and it’s better to be certain than to be wrong. Brandie Bohney is a grammar enthusiast and former English teacher. If you have a grammarrelated question, please email her at bbthegrammarguru@gmail.com.

Palladium parking explained EXIT

CARMEL DRIVE

In response to EXIT patrons’ parking problems, the Center for the Performing Arts is seeking to clarify just where exactly concert goers should leave their cars. The parking garage (shown in the illustration to the right) located in the center of the campus serves as the primary parking location for the entire complex, and is accessible from 3rd Avenue. With more than 600 spots available, Palladium officials say there are nearly always vacancies, and valet parking is available for all events. The main problem, officials say, is that patrons are not entirely adhering to posted “No Parking” signs at local businesses. Officials ask that patrons respect the signs and parking of neighboring businesses.

DISPATCHES » Beware of ‘meat glue’ – Ground beef contains the meat from hundreds of animals from different parts of the world, but the same can be true for prime cut steaks. That’s possible through the use of so-called meat glue, used to “super-glue” small chunks of meat together that are too small to sell, and passing it off as prime cuts. Meat glue is an enzyme called transglutaminase. Some are produced through the cultivation of bacteria, while others are made from the coagulant that makes blood clot. Reports show that the bacterial contamination of meat glued steak is hundreds of times higher than a solid piece of steak, and this practice is used in chicken and lamb, too. -www.mercola.com » Zoobilation – Kincaid’s will have a booth at the Indianapolis Zoo’s fundraiser on Friday, June 10.

Escape passes make fun and fitness accessible COMMENTARY By Susan Beaurain Has it been a long week at work? A tough day at home? Ever wish you had a temporary escape? A place you could go to relax and play with the family and forget about work for awhile? An escape where the faces that greet you are smiling and are glad you’re there? Just imagine it. It’s within your reach, and all for less than the price of a latte a day. The Monon Community Center has an Escape pass for every household and a destination for every member. Escape passes include unlimited access to the entire, modern facility including: a gymnasium featuring three full size courts, indoor pool with lap lanes and slides; a fitness center offering cardio, weight machines and free weights; the KidZone—childcare with a tree house, and one-eighth mile, indoor track, and outdoor water park featuring five pools. Household passes include group fitness classes, which cost a nominal additional fee for adult or senior escape passes. We often hear the question: “Why can’t I buy just the fitness center or just the pool? It’s the only part I use.” Let us help you expand your escape, try a new workout space, get in the pool, head outside and zip down a slide.

learn more Escape pass information can be found at www.carmelclayparks.com/index. asp?action=mononcntr_promotions.

Escape passes pay for themselves in less than one visit per week. Unlike many private fitness facilities, there is never an enrollment fee for the Monon Community Center.

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation and the Monon Community Center look forward to guiding your escapes this summer and for years to come with a commitment to environmental, social and economic sustainability.

DISPATCHES » Pros, cons of engineered wood – Engineered wood flooring is best for easy installation with the warmth of wood. This veneer over substrate can usually be nailed, stapled, glued or floated. It often can be refinished once. But, it can be damaged by spills. Many types wear relatively quickly and can be dented easily. Average price: $5 to $10 per square foot. -Consumer Reports » Pencil it in - Opt for eye and lip pencils over liquid liner and lipstick. Their waxy formulas resist dissolution on damp skin; plus, lip pencil under gloss makes the shiny layer last longer by giving it something to adhere to, says Chantel Miller, senior makeup artist for the MAC Pro Team. For super budge-proof color, look for waterproof formulations. Try Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye and Lip Pencils ($18 each, Sephora), and store them in your fridge. The cold solidifies the wax for easier sharpening and application. -www.goodhousekeeping.com » Suit rules for men – 1.

Homemade chocolate waffle bowls for your summer ice cream party COMMENTARY By Ashley Phipps I love that it is finally warm enough outside for popsicles and ice cream! There is not much better then sharing a popsicle with your children, or a friend outside on a warm day. But when you are looking for something a bit more “upscale” than popsicles, ice cream is a favorite alternative. And it is actually my preference. I love ice cream! And if you decide to have an ice cream party to cool off in the middle of the summer like I just might do, here is a fabulous way to serve your ice cream: in homemade chocolate waffle bowls! Homemade chocolate waffle bowls are so easy to make and absolutely delicious! They are soft and just a bit chewy, and they are a great compliment to any ice cream! (And yes, these can be made without an expensive waffle cone maker!) CHOCOLATE WAFFLE BOWLS Ingredients: • 1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate • 2 tbsp. butter • 2 whole eggs • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1/2 cup granulated sugar • 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder • 1 tsp. vanilla extract Directions: 1. Preheat a pan with a flat bottom on a medium-low temperature.

Current in Carmel

2. Place the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Stir to combine then set aside to cool for five minutes. 3. Beat the eggs and salt in a small bowl with a fork until well blended. Beat in the sugar until sugar is incorporated and the eggs have lightened in color slightly, approximately one minute. Stir in the melted chocolate and butter. Add the flour and cocoa powder, stirring slowly until all flour is moistened. Beat another few seconds to incorporate the flour and remove all lumps. Stir in the vanilla extract. 4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter in the center of the pan. Working very quickly, spread until thin. Cook on both sides. 5. Immediately place the chocolate waffle, into a small bowl to form its shape. Leave in the bowl until it cools completely. 6. Enjoy with ice cream!

DISPATCHES » Onion skins for good health – Recent research confirms that the outer skins of onions provide an exceptionally rich source of plant compounds called flavenoids, especially the powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound,quercetin. Quercetin is under study as an agent for lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, fighting allergies, reducing inflammation, enhancing muscle growth and function, treating depression, some forms of cancer, and other conditions. -www.almanac.com » Sleeping myth – Some people swear that quick naps make them sleepier, but a snooze that’s less than 20 minutes should perk most of us up. Just 10 to 20 minutes is all you need to boost alertness, performance and mood. A nap of 20 minutes or longer, though, may leave you groggy when you wake up, as the brain enters what’s called slow-wave sleep at this point. -www.prevention.com

» MSG linked to weight gain – A study of more than 10,000 Chinese adults found that those who had the highest consumption of foods rich in monosodium glutamate had an almost 30 percent increased risk of becoming overweight compared with those who had the lowest intake of MSG-rich foods. Researchers reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that those who ate more MSG had higher production of leptin, which plays a role in appetite and metabolism regulation. -Reuters » Eat right days before training – A sports nutrition article from Iowa State University states that it’s not just the pre-exercise meal alone but the meals you eat in the two to three days before you exercise that fuel your muscles. So it’s important to eat high-energy meals a couple of days before serious training or an event (track meet or basketball game, for example). Within two hours before exercise, try a high carb/energy drink or fluid replacement drink. If you have less than an hour before activity, just have water or a fluid replacement drink. During an event, go for water, and don’t bother with energy drinks— they don’t increase performance for exercises under 90 minutes. -www.lifehacker.com

Experiencing veganism: The first step COMMENTARY By Courtney Stiehl I’ve given up eating meat, dairy products and animal everything for the month of June. I’ve decided to try veganism. I’m curious about what positive effects, if any, this plant-based diet will have on me. I’m not looking to go permanent with this nor do I necessarily believe eating animal products is always bad. But, I’d like to realign my relationship with food to be for health and force myself to look at the ingredients that go into my meals. I thought it would be interesting to test this out last summer before deciding it was too inconvenient. When Oprah dedicated an episode of her show to veganism last winter, I gave it more thought and decided to go forward. Also, documentaries like Food, Inc. and food enthusiast Michael Pollan’s work have long made eating healthy, local and organic food options easier for me. I also have some experience with this; I’ve been a pescatarian for the past six years. This means I abstain from eating meat with the exception of seafood. After saying this, most people immediately ask if I eat chicken. No, chicken isn’t seafood! Really, I chose this lifestyle due to my dislike of the American mass-production-based meat industry. Vegetarians are stricter and don’t eat any meat. Vegans are the most restricted, and the least common, because they eliminate all animal products from their diet. Milk, eggs and even

vegan grocery list Soy milk, almonds, clementines, avocadoes, tomatoes, whole-wheat pasta, tomatobasil sauce, tofurky, hummus, fresh salsa, vegan butter, bananas, tortilla wraps, rice, spinach, balsamic vinaigrette, celery, peanut butter

honey are all forbidden. Of course, with pescatarianism, vegetarianism and veganism, some players are stricter than others. My biggest worry on this journey is that I somehow won’t get enough calories or won’t eat enough food. I’m trying to eat healthy and not just switch over to eating chips and bread. Also, it’s pretty difficult! I’m only two days into my 30-day trial period with veganism and am quickly realizing just how tricky it is. It turns out most prepared foods have some traces of milk or eggs. It appears I’ll be doing a lot of cooking. Still, I find these issues to be quite manageable. Time will tell.

DISPATCHES » Five good Euro stocks? – Nomura Equity Research has six banks in its European recommended portfolio, five of which trade on U.S. markets. Three are large, diversified regional institutions: UBS (UBS), BNP Paribas (BNPQY.PK) and Lloyd’s (LYG). The others are Bank of Ireland (IRE) and National Bank of Greece (NBG). The last two choices have declined by more than 80 percent and 70 percent, respectively, since Nomura added them to its portfolio in December 2009. You’d be crazy to bet the rent money on them, but if you’ve got money set aside for speculation in the market, then these and the others on the list seem like good candidates for a piece of it. -www.bnet.com » Hotel for sale – Indianapolis’ bank-owned Ramada Inn is up for auction online today on Auction.com.

Five months ago, the sector started picking up, adding over 100,000 jobs in December and January, according to data compiled by ADP, a payroll processor. In April, however, businesses with fewer than 50 employees added 84,000 jobs, down slightly from the 100,000 jobs added in March, according to ADP’s most recent report from early May. The positive hiring numbers suggest the sector is strengthening slowly after getting hard hit during the recession. -www.money.com

Three stock picks geared toward Asia COMMENTARY By Ryan Fuhrmann During the next couple of years, the International Monetary Fund predicts emerging economies will grow nearly twice as fast as developed ones. It predicts the fastest growth will occur in developing Asia, with China and India leading the way, and projects average growth of 9.6 percent and 8 percent in those countries over the next two years. This trend is nothing new, and emerging Asian markets were mostly unfazed during the credit crisis. Given Asia is where most of the world’s economic growth is likely to occur in the coming decades, here are three stock picks to take advantage of this phenomenon. Banking giant HSBC is based in the United Kingdom and counts on Asia for a third of its sales and more than half of its profits. It bills itself as the world’s local bank, serving 95 million customers with branches across Europe, Latin America, and parts of the U.S. It got burned during the financial crisis by buying a subprime lender in the U.S., but is recovering. It trades with a low price to earnings (P/E) of 11 and has an appealing dividend yield of 3.5 percent. MetLife used to primarily be a U.S. life insurer but added Asian exposure by purchasing the ALICO division from beleaguered insurer AIG. Like

HSBC, it is a giant financial institution and serves 90 million customers in 60 countries, with 30 percent of its total premiums now from overseas and focused on Asia. Its P/E is even lower at less than 9 and its dividend yield is decent at 1.7 percent. As unlikely as it sounds, car giant General Motors (GM) is the market leader in China with a market share of more than 13 percent. China and Asia, in general, still make up a small percent of sales, but a leading position in what is now the world’s largest auto market could eventually start to make a big contribution to overall sales and profits. GM is a play on the global auto market, and with a P/E of less than 8, global economic recovery, and rapid growth in Asia, it could see solid stock gains in the next couple of years. Playing in the financial space and cyclical automotive market is not without risk, but the above players should see solid gains in Asia in the coming years. If all goes well, it should eventually result in higher stock prices. Ryan C. Fuhrmann, CFA, is a financial writer and investment manager based in Carmel.

MY OPINION

200K

Type: Townhouse Age: Built 2003 Location: Just north from Carmel Drive and Old Meridian Neighborhood: Providence at Old Meridian Sq Footage: 2,232 Property: The Providence of Old Meridian is a great little village where people can meet for a walk, use the pool, or exercise facilities. This townhome has its own seperate entry with a two-story open foyer. Take a few steps down from the entry to the bonus room, featuring a wall of windows allowing for plenty of light. This room may be used as a family room, exercise room, office, or playroom. On this floor you can also find the laundry room and the exit to the two-car garage. On the main floor, you will find the kitchen with balcony, hearth room with fireplace, dining room, living room, and powder room. The third level features the three bedrooms and two full baths. At one end, there are two bedrooms both with vaulted ceilings sharing a bath and at the other a large master suite with vaulted ceilings, garden tub, separate shower, and double sinks. Strengths: Carefree living, proximity to shopping and entertainment, generous floor plan, quality construction, and value and price per square foot makes this a desirable property. Challenges: The number of available townhomes in the Carmel area.

Which tablet is best for me? TECHNOLOGY By Gary Hubbard Trying to decide whether to buy an iPad 2, a Kindle or a Nook Color for vacation this year? As an owner of an iPad since they were first released, I’ve always looked at ereaders like the Kindle or Nook as too simple and underwhelming as a tech gadget, but that changed recently. My in-laws who are voracious readers were instantly hooked when they got a chance to use a Kindle, which got me to reassess the whole category. While there is no question that the iPad (1 or 2) has infinitely more functionality, not everyone needs all the extra bells and whistles. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, so I’ll highlight the pros and cons for these three devices. iPad 2 pros: Most robust platform for apps, music, movies, books, magazines, games, Web surfing, e-mail, social media, calendars or just about anything you would want to do on vacation. It also has the ability to access books from Apple’s iBook store, Amazon’s Kindle library and Barnes & Noble’s Nook library, which gives it the largest collection of available books. It can

also serve as a digital camera storage device on vacation (with an optional camera kit), so you don’t have to worry about running out of space on your camera’s storage card. iPad 2 cons: Most expensive solution ($499$699), most fragile design, too heavy to hold for long periods of reading, lowest battery life, and is virtually useless in direct sunlight. Kindle pros: Relatively inexpensive ($114-$189), small and light, the best for viewing in direct sunlight (by the swimming pool or at the beach, for instance), basic Web surfing and nearly a month of battery life. Unlike with touch-screen devices, you can hold and turn the page with one hand on a Kindle, because the buttons are on each side. Kindle cons: It’s essentially a one-trick pony, even though it can browse the Web. No e-mail client or video, just reading and basic surfing that requires you to navigate purely by keystokes. It’s also limited to what Amazon will allow you to read on it. And a small issue for some is that it has no page numbers. (It tells you by percentage where you are in the book). Nook color pros: Inexpensive touch screen color device ($249) that can read children’s sto-

ries out loud. Less restrictive than the Kindle, so you can borrow books from public libraries as well as buy them from the B&N store. Readable in direct sunlight (although not as clearly as the Kindle), it provides a more acceptable Web surfing experience and has 140+ apps that can be added. It can play audio files and even has a Pandora app for streaming music and e-mail app options. Consider it the poor-man’s iPad. Nook Color cons: Significantly heavier than the Kindle, short battery life (8 hours) because of the color touch screen, and no 3G option for accessing content or the Web when there is no WiFi available. Not a one-handed reader because of the weight and the need to touch the screen to turn the page. As you can see, how and where you plan to use the device will have the biggest impact on which one might be the best choice. If you want it all, get an iPad 2, if you plan to read more than play and surf, the Nook Color may be the best fit, and if you just want to read, the Kindle or the new Nook Touch Reader should do just fine.

There is no excuse for cheating RELATIONSHIPS By Rachel Noble In this series, I’ve discussed the different types of personalities of female cheaters. There’s the woman I call “disregarded” (possibly ignored and not experiencing any passion in her relationship). Then there’s the “scorned woman.” And finally, I can’t help but mention “the mistress” (the woman who goes after the married man). Whatever the reasons or personality type, cheating is unacceptable. I believe in the golden rule, and frankly ladies, if you’re cheating, you open the door to be treated the same in your future. Last article, I talked about the “disregarded” gal, and now I’d like to mention the “scorned woman.” I think this woman could be coming from one of three places. 1) She was hurt enough early on to have turned “bad girl” as an act of revenge and callousness. 2) Or perhaps she is highly insecure and has a strong need to fulfill a bottomless pit of gaining attention from all men. She may even somewhat enjoy hurting her mate, because when she sees him hurt, it feeds into her sociopathic tendencies and proves he loves her. 3) Or finally, there is no reasoning behind her actions, and she just enjoys the thrill of getting away with bad behavior, the attention she receives from men and the enjoyment she

gets from the act of cheating itself. I believe the majority of these types of cheaters come from a place of severe insecurity (as seen in #2). Although she may come across as confident, aloof and even arrogant (something that draws many men to her), being with her is stepping into a bee’s hive. Guys, you may like the chase she puts forth, but this gal is dangerous. Unless she decides on her own that she needs to change her behavior, you are NOT going to change her. Don’t get lured into the chase or trying to change her. She needs to deal with her insecurities on her own and seek strong measures for healing. Ladies, it takes a strong woman to admit she is the scorned woman. I see women like this who were once quite the pursued in their heyday but now are lonely, bitter and constantly seeking the wrong kind of attention. Whether you have been burned or you are insecure or you just flat out don’t care who you hurt, you have got to take a look at why you are acting out in this way and seek help.

The rapture that wasn’t SPIRITUALITY By Bob Walters The difference between Harold Camping’s evidently errant May 21 rapture forecast and almost everyone else’s reaction to it was smugness. Not Camping’s … almost everyone else’s. In Camping’s declarations I didn’t hear smugness; I heard faith. I thought he was biblically wrong – glaringly so – on several points, and I saw but didn’t really understand his eschaton (ESS-kah-tahn, i.e. last things) arithmetic. But I never heard from him a belittling smugness. The California Christian fundamentalist is obviously a true believer who I think is befallen by confused signals, not demon possession. It happens. So let’s look at the bad news and good news. On the one hand, Camping didn’t do the Kingdom any favors by being that wrong about something that even uber-secular Doonesbury got exactly right. To wit, Zonker in the May 20 comic strip very un-smugly (opposite most public commentary) cites Matthew 24:36. There Jesus says, “But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Jesus is “the Son” and even He doesn’t know what Camping claimed to know. On the other hand, Camping got everyone talking – even Doonesbury – about Jesus Christ. False prophet or misguided sop, Camping created a multi-national buzz that forced many people to stop (or at least downshift) and consider whether

www.youarecurrent.com

they personally were or were not a candidate for rapture. Motivating the many to mull that mystery, however momentarily, is quite a feat. What’s really wrong with Camping’s prediction, which I think is the same egregious error of the “Left Behind” end-times novels, is this: The relationship focus that properly should be on Jesus Christ is at best obfuscated and at worst entirely lost. “How is my relationship with Christ?” is the correct question, not, “What’s all this rapture business?” Anything that lessens rather than sharpens a person’s focus on a relationship with Jesus Christ plays into Satan’s hands. That includes rapture, creation, prophecy, prosperity, faith healing, the Bible, the church, a preacher … anything. Camping’s focus, for example, was always “The Bible says …” He used the Bible, in toto, to supersede Christ. Bad mistake, in my view. So … we don’t know, we have to trust. And I say “evidently errant” in the first paragraph because what if God threw a rapture and nobody made the cut? The last thing I want to be before God is cocky. Bob Walters (www.believerbob. blogspot.com, email rlwcom@aol. com) will look at non-believers through Lent, urging believers not to give up on them.

Love of outdoors father’s greatest gift COMMENTARY By Randy Sorrell My passion for incredible outdoor living spaces is my father’s greatest gift to me. Born in the mid ‘70s when BTO, Foghat and Aerosmith rocked, the hidden passion brewed with our forced visits to Mounds State Park, Kilbuck and Shady Side to do the things families do at parks: run trails and attend family reunions. It surged in 1980 as dad, Crooksy and I shared stories on our Anderson interpretation of a brick charcoal grill station and arched concrete patio while burning hamburgers at 3 a.m. Fast forward several decades and a few careers later, and we find ourselves participating in an American revolution of outdoor spaces. Cocooning, grilling, fire pits and outdoor funning are major popular – and I’ve never been popular before. One of the most gifted landscape / design / funning firms in town is Pro Care Horticultural Services steered by Lowell Rolsky whose silent, yet confident leadership is a direct influence of his father, Mort. Dad founded the company in 1972, and it progressed handsomely until Lowell released his creative juices and advanced their firm to one of the area’s most admired. With a fresh perspective, he tells me, “There are no great jobs, just great customers”.

Mort passed away in 2004 (four years after my father) but not before witnessing the fruits of his stewardship, which fueled Lowell to choose the green industry as his talented profession. Lowell became amazed with the opportunity to create something from nothing. He realized, long before the masses, that an incredible outdoor living space can dramatically affect the lives of others. And he loved working with his father.

A plaque outside Pro Care’s door honors Mort with words like founder, mentor and unselfish encouragement. Great words for a great man.

Hardwood flooring: Beauty and basics COMMENTARY By David Decker Beauty, lifespan and versatility are three great virtues of hardwood flooring. Knowing what kind of wood flooring is available, and what to put where, maximizes those virtues. Hardwood flooring comes in two basic types: solid and engineered. Solid is just what it says – solid strips of hardwood usually three-quarters of an inch thick. Engineered hardwood looks exactly like, well, hardwood, because that’s what it is, but “engineered” (manufactured) like highquality plywood. The veneer (surface you see) on engineered hardwood flooring can be sliced from tree stock like solid flooring, or rotary peeled, which creates dramatic graining. The functional benefit of engineered flooring is its stability, being far less susceptible to the effects of humidity because it is cross-grained and glued. Not quite as thick as solid wood flooring, engineered flooring is strong in every direction and can be cut into wider planks for a modern and elegant look. Narrower strips give wood flooring a more traditional and busy feel. Solid wood tends to swell, warp and “gap” between boards in high-humidity environments; therefore it is not something normally installed in a basement or on a cement slab. Engineered wood has several cross-patterned layers glued together, which limits its movement and expan-

sion/shrinkage with the seasons. Solid wood has a lifespan of 100 years or longer because it can be sanded and refinished, usually up to three times. Engineered flooring can last from 40 to 100 years depending on the thickness of the veneer and can also be sanded and refinished. Cost, installation and overall value of solid wood vs. quality engineered wood flooring are more or less equal. You’ll want to talk with a flooring professional to determine what best accommodates your needs, but the decision resides in the application, taste and heart, not so much the pocketbook. Plentiful and renewable in nature, wood provides a hypoallergenic and easy-to-clean surface that doesn’t harbor mold, mites or microbes.

Caring for older cats COMMENTARY By Dr. Greg Magnusson Every few years, the veterinary profession updates its definition of what it means to be a senior cat. The old-fashioned calculation of one human year equals seven pet years disappeared long ago. Guinness World Records lists the oldest human as having lived 122 years. The current world average human lifespan is 67.2 years. However, location and lifestyle makes a difference! If you live in Swaziland, your life expectancy is only 31.8 years, whereas if you live in Japan, the average human lives 82.6 years. Where you live and how you live often determine how long you will live – with cats too! For instance, the average lifespan of an outdoor, feral cat is only 4.7 years. Wow! The average indoor cat lives about 15 years, but with wide variance. Again according to Guinness, the world’s oldest cat was Creme Puff, who was born on 3 August 1967 and lived until 6 August 2005 - an amazing 38 years and three days! So when is a cat truly “senior”? And how do we care for an older cat differently than a younger cat? Because of their risky lifestyle, I usually tell owners of outdoor cats to check their kitty yearly for FeLV/FIV virus, complete a yearly fecal test, and keep them on flea and heartworm preventives each and every month. Cats living a cushy indoor lifestyle begin to encounter age-related physical changes between seven and 10 years of age, and most do so by the time they are 12. We recommend evaluating your healthy senior cat more frequently than a younger cat. For example, every six months instead of once a year. At least once a year, certain tests – including blood tests, fecal examination, and urine analysis – will be

Pets of the week Brewster is a 6 year old male golden Corgi mix. Brewster is a very outgoing and active boy who loves to run and play. He is also very intelligent and has managed to teach himself to become an escape artist, so he will need a fenced in yard but will need to be supervised while outside. Brewster is house trained and knows some basic commands and he also very affectionate. He is best friends with his brother, T-Bone, and they are very attached to each other and will need to be adopted together and they would be best suited in a home with children age 10 or older.

suggested. Older cats can show signs of aggression, often because of pain (e.g., from dental disease) or being less mobile (e.g., from arthritis). Cats with painful arthritis may have difficulty gaining access to a litter box, especially if negotiating stairs is required. Even climbing into the box may be painful for such cats; urinating or defecating in an inappropriate location is the natural result. Cats are masters at hiding illness. If it’s been a while since your kitty has seen the vet, please schedule an appointment today!

Frost is a 2 year old male brown tabby DSH. Frost is a friendly guy who is just thankful to be alive after being found in the middle of the road with a broken and frozen tail. He was brought to the shelter in mid-January and was dehydrated and emaciated so he received immediate medical attention. Frost has been in a foster home recovering from his injuries, gaining some weight and he is now healthy and ready to find his forever home. He has become quite personable and really enjoys attention and having his head and chin scratched. He also enjoys a soft blanket, regular meals and the safety of being an indoor cat.

‘Man Cooking’ nothing more than a myth HUMOR By Mike Redmond Summer is here, hooray, which means it is time once again to light the grill and once again experience the Grand American Tradition of food ritually immolated over an open fire. Cooking outdoors, of course, is Man Cooking. This is because all American Men over the age of 18 believe they are born with a special Outdoor Cooking Gene that gives them power over combustible substances, such as charcoal, LP gas, and really cheap hot dogs. Because they are nice people, women let us have this conceit. The truth of the matter is anyone can be a perfectly competent grill cook, but women stand aside and let men think they are born to it, mostly because it’s just so entertaining. Here in Central Indiana, the most popular items to grill are steaks, chicken, burgers and brats. For the sake of clarity, grilling brats means cooking sausages, not interrogating the smartalecky neighbor kids you suspect of demolishing your mailbox. Of course, the more advanced grillers such as moi are more adventurous in the foods we victimize. I mean select. We might opt to cook a duck, or a leg of lamb, or vegetables, or fruit, or even pizza on our grills. Anyway, here is a short list of non-barbequeable foods you newbies might want to avoid: • Cheese. • Pasta.

• Peas. • Pie. Don’t ask me how I know this. I just do, OK? Which brings me to another important suggestion: Always make sure you have the proper cleaning equipment around. Not only will it remove the bad-idea food residue, it will go a long way toward cutting down on that pesky ptomaine poisoning by ensuring you always have a safe cooking surface for the food you ruin. Yes, I said ruin. Let’s take a steak. This should be simple. You take a slab of meat, put it over the fire, cook it a short while, turn it over, cook it some more, and then eat it. Easy, right? No. The trick is timing. All properly timed outdoor grilled steaks are juicy, tender and cooked to the diner’s preference. The other 99 percent are either Pittsburgh rare (black on the outside, raw on the inside), or ready to be made into sandals. Ah, but enough negativity. Let us think instead of the glorious summer days ahead and the manly thrill of food on the grill grill. Oh, and don’t forget the cheap hot dogs. Yes, they’re inedible, but they make terrific fuel for your Tiki torches. But skip the peas. Trust me on this. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker.

Having your cake … and sleeping, too HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie Just when you thought you’d never get a good night’s sleep again … just when you were convinced all those over-the-counter medications made you more dopey than drowsy, here come Lazy Cakes, the coolest thing to happen to brownies since the ’60s. Lazy Cakes are like Ambien CR in a chewy chocolatey square with a layer of fudge in the middle. The product, sold at convenience stores next to 5-hour energy drinks, Slim Jims and butane lighters, provides a mega-shot of natural herbs that the manufacturer claims will result in the best snooze of your life. The Lazy Cakes package is emblazoned with a cartoon brownie called Lazy Larry, whose drugged-out smile suggests the same thing I was talking about in the first paragraph. The major ingredient is a sleep-inducing substance called melatonin, a chemical that is produced naturally in your body, but apparently not nearly enough at night and too much when you are at the 2 p.m. staff meeting or in church on Sunday. There are some major concerns about this new product. Toxicologists report, for example, that in the USA last year there were 5,000 melatonin-related calls to the poison center. In another study, scientists claim the ingredients in Lazy Cakes that make you nod off quickly may be detrimental to women who are trying to conceive. Ya think?

36 | June 7, 2011

Of course, there are blogs for consumers who, once they can crawl out of bed, want to share their Lazy Cakes experience. “I ate one while I was watching TV and it made me so sluggish I didn’t even want to grab the remote,” wrote one man. Lazy Cakes may be this year’s most popular item in Dad’s stocking. One woman claimed she threw a Lazy Cakes party and everyone indulged: “All our bodies went limp. We closed our eyes. There was yawning, then snoring. Suddenly, we were on our way to bed at 10 p.m.” This sounded like last New Year’s Eve with my wife and our closest friends. Except we all ordered bread pudding and four regular coffees. Personally, I’m not a big chocolate fan. So, I’ve also drafted a letter to my friends at Cracker Barrel asking if maybe they could spike their roast chicken with a little melatonin, a smidgen of rose hips, some valerian root, and a hint of passion flower, all proven to give you heavy eyelids. One final note on melatonin from the New England Journal of Medicine: “After frequent consumption, it will stop working.” And so, by the way, will anyone who takes it.
