OUR VIEWS

It is our position Conner Prairie Interactive History Park is an important asset for Hamilton County. Named a 2010 National Medal for Museum and Library Science recipient, Conner Prairie draws visitors and attention from around the world. Conner Prairie is a unique quest to bring history alive through immersion in experience, rather than a regurgitation of facts. At Conner Prairie, a visitor can become a recruit ready to battle against “Morgan’s Raids” on Indiana during the Civil War, a fur trader negotiating with the Lenape Indians, or an Indiana farmer in 1836.

Residents of Hamilton County who only visit to listen to a “Symphony on the Prairie” are missing all of what the park has to offer. There is something for all ages – from the new “hands-on” play village in Dupont, Indiana (focus on early childhood learners) to the realistic 1859 Balloon Voyage Ride, to Grandparent’s Day Wednesdays. The Apple Store is open selling goodies and products made in the USA. As history education takes a backseat role to Math and English, it is important for parents to “fill the gap” in their children’s education. Take another look at the museum right in your own backyard. Look at www.connerprairie.org for more info or to donate.

No apologies required

It is our position the Indiana Economic Development Corporation is acting in the best interests of our fine state and its citizens by touting the advantages Indiana offers to businesses contemplating relocation. Indiana’s record of financial stability, educational opportunities, and low cost of living make relocation to the Hoosier State a very attractive option to businesses currently headquartered in our neighboring states. Success in attracting new business has translated into additional job opportunities, continuation of lower income/corporate taxes, more financially-stable government and an overall better environment for Indiana residents.

It is likely that adjacent jurisdictions might not be pleased with Indiana’s often-considered aggressive program to lure errant businesses to consider relocation within our borders. However, as long as the claims made to support these marketing efforts contain verifiable facts about the benefits offered to potential incoming companies there is no foul. A candidate making the sacrifices to be competitive, IEDC has earned the right to contend for companies who could bring value home because of our own government’s ongoing record of financial responsibility.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Councilors should be self-insured As we closed in on press time for this edition at the end of last week, we wondered about the Carmel City Council’s request for health- and life-insurance coverage coming out of the Finance Committee and back to council for last night’s meeting. With no way of knowing what the outcome would be, we still found ourselves against the request for health coverage, at an annual city expense of up to $20,000 per councilor, and life coverage of approximately $90 per year per person while in office. The lady and gentlemen of city council willingly came forward to serve. Our opinion is insuring them is not equitable. They are part-time employees (some more part-time than others, granted), but they essentially are members of the private sector serving publicly and should foot the bill for their own coverage. What’s next?

Insuring the Carmel Clay Parks Board? The Board of Zoning Appeals? It just does not add up. While we appreciate and often laud the councilors’ accomplishments, we must, in this case, stand in opposition.

Dependent-minded Commentary

By Terry Anker Some weeks ago, I was following an email thread surreptitiously. I can, at times, be a little bit of a thought voyeur. Although I enjoy exchanging messages with a number of different folks about topics as varied as the fate and reminiscences of our alma mater to the modern state of the free market, I sometimes simply watch the interactions as they fill my inbox, deciding not to enter the fray.

Much like sitting silent at the dinner table as the rest of the family relates stories of their passing day I enjoy the discourse uninterrupted by my own participation. At any rate, the communication garnering my attention pertained to access to higher education.

This time, unlike the countless times this commonplace topic struck my ear, I was reminded of my own graduate education in Bloomington many years ago. Although I have no idea if the policy still exists, at the time entering students were required to sign a pledge promising we would not hold a job during our first year of study. Perhaps the intentions were

good enough – working students were more likely to struggle in the vigorous academic environment. But as often is the case with good intentions, there was a more nefarious side to consider. Working class students found themselves mandated to get loans to attend. And for anyone pursuing that education immediately following undergraduate completion, they were likely required to get a parental cosigner exposing mom and dad to the debt obligation. The alternative was to not attend the school – or to lie and get a job anyway. You can guess my choice.

Does it make sense to create systems that reward those who chose to become dependent upon institutionally imposed mandates rather than individuals who are willing to work harder to accomplish their goals?

Liberty lives on in Carmel trees COMMENTARY

By Jeff Worrell The American Liberty Elm was named after “The Liberty Tree: Our Country’s First Symbol of Freedom.” On the morning of Aug.14, 1765, the people of Boston woke to discover two effigies suspended from an elm tree in protest of the hated Stamp Act. From that day forward, that elm became known as “The Liberty Tree.”

It stood in silent witness to countless meetings, speeches and celebrations, and became the rallying place for the Sons of Liberty. In August of 1775, as a last act of violence prior to their evacuation of Boston, British soldiers cut it down because it bore the name “Liberty.”

But the Liberty Tree blooms once again…. in Carmel. On a sunny Saturday morning in August, this special tree became one of the major elements in the opening day celebration for Founders Park. Located at the corner of 116th Street and Hazel Dell Road, the park includes a spectacular, interactive playground, a calm, serene lake and a super-sized picnic shelter.

The first symbol of freedom in America stands near the playground and will someday offer cool shade to moms and dads relaxing as their children yell, “Watch Me!” while swooshing down the slide. The tree will become the topic of many history term papers for Carmel students of tomorrow.

Pattie Chester and Citizens for Greenspace

secured the grant for Carmel to have its own Liberty Tree. This is one of the final gifts to our community before they disbanded last year, having accomplished their goal of a vibrant and thriving parks system in Carmel. The group actually secured two Liberty Trees, one for Founders Park and the other for Carey Grove Park.

A plaque with the words in the first paragraph of this column will help visitors to understand the importance and heritage of the mighty Elm which lives right before their eyes.

The Liberty Trees that now call Carmel home are a breed engineered to be resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. Dutch Elm plagued America forests in the 1960s and wiped out the native American elm. Our Liberty Tree, when cared for properly, should grow tall and stand proudly at Founders Park for generations to enjoy. To follow the good example of Citizens for Greenspace support for the proliferation of disease resistant elm trees in America by planting one in your front yard, click to www.elmresearch.org or call Pattie Chester 317-848-2339. As you enjoy Founders Park and the Liberty Tree, remember Citizens for Greenspace and people like Pattie Chester.

SURVIVING DIVORCE - PART 1

GET IN

SHAPE FOR WOMEN

Youʼre Invited to Our Open House Saturday, September 24th From 1pm - 3pm

BEFORE

“I’ve lost 45 lbs. in 4 months!”

1. Don’t try to handle your divorce on your own. In the interest of saving time and money, people are willing to compromise and are turning to the internet and online websites offering divorce packages and forms to “do it yourself.” Without more understanding of the law, they often don’t realize they could be compromising their legal rights. Preparing legal documents without the benefit of a legal opinion may result in unintended consequences that could be even more costly or impossible to correct in the future. Do talk with a law firm that can offer options, including alternatives to litigation, to help you save on attorneys’ fees.

Nutrition is THE most important element in my success!

2. Don’t assume traditional litigation is the best option. A common misunderstanding is that it is better for a judge to make decisions if spouses cannot agree. The reality is that litigation limits the decision-making of both parties and increases attorneys’ fees. You and your spouse are in the best position to determine what happens to your children and your property. There are cases where negotiation or mediation are not appropriate because of abuse or mental health issues, or these options prove ineffective. To determine a good strategy, find an attorney who will focus on what is best for you, your family and your financial situation.

We’ve all heard divorce horror stories from friends, coworkers or family members.

Divorce is one of the most stressful experiences to endure. It is a loss which carries the weight of grief with all the ensuing emotions, including anger and denial. If you’re dealing with your own crumbling marriage, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed and scared about the impact divorce will have on your family and you. How can you survive the transition and adjust to a new life? With more than 15 years as a divorce attorney, Lanae Harden, who chairs the Family Law Practice Group at HARDEN JACKSON, LLC, offers the following suggestions to help you through the process.

3. Establishing a good rapport with your attorney is essential. You’ll want to feel comfortable communicating with your attorney. Don’t hesitate to ask your attorney questions. Find an attorney who educates you about divorce law and your options so you can make informed decisions. You and your attorney need to work as a team to strategize about the necessary steps in your case. Be sure to let your attorney know what matters most to you, whether it is keeping your home, retaining your retirement, receiving legal custody or more parenting time. With that knowledge, your attorney is better equipped to help you reach your goals either by negotiation in the conference room or litigation in the courtroom.

Remember, these suggestions are not meant to be legal advice. You should consult an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation. Look for Part 2 of this series on Surviving Divorce in two weeks.

No more pity party COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson Lately I’ve been having a bit of a pity party for myself. Work has been unbelievably stressful and time-consuming, which has led to both a disgusting house and neglected kids. I’ve felt taken advantage of, unappreciated and have pretty much vented to anyone with ears. All of my other roles of wife, daughter, sister, and friend have been forgotten or temporarily abandoned while I’ve struggled to keep my head above the rough and often treacherous waters of working mom.

Well no more. I spent the holiday weekend with family and a couple of good movies. I now have a whole new perspective on my life. So thank you to . . .

Soul Surfer. Have you seen this flick yet? It’s based on the true story of a girl from Hawaii who lost an arm in a shark attack but went on to become a professional surfer. It’s not produced well, it doesn’t showcase quality acting and there is a strong Christian bend; however, the film struck a chord with me. This little girl could have quit surfing forever and no one would have judged her in the least. But she chose to try. She chose to not let any obstacle stop her from realizing her dream. And I’m making lame excuses for why I don’t exercise or read to my kids anymore?

The Help. This film explores the complicated relationship between Southern white women

and their black maids during the racially-charged 1960s. Maids did everything from the grocery shopping to polishing silver and potty training.

The women worked six days a week and earned less than minimum wage. But they took tremendous pride in their work and rarely voiced complaints. And I’m bitchin’ because I’ve had to spend some weekends grading a few more papers than usual? Gimme a break. They had to pee in separate toilets because their bosses thought they’d spread diseases. I can’t even imagine!

My cousin. He just started divorce proceedings and he is dealing with all of the sadness, anger and worry that goes along with ending a marriage and splitting up a family. He’ll have to pay alimony, child support and work out a visitation schedule to spend time with his three children. And I’m upset because Doo isn’t putting his empty wineglass in the dishwasher?

Geez, Danielle. Life as he knows it is over! And his kids? How will this affect them?

So you won’t hear any more silliness from me.

I have a job, a husband, four healthy children, and now, a positive outlook. The [pity] party’s over, folks. Time to go home. Peace out.

Council expected to vote on insurance ordinance this week editorial@youarecurrent.com An ordinance that would make City Council members eligible to receive health and life insurance through the city was expected to be voted on at last night’s meeting.

The council’s finance committee last week sent the ordinance back to the council without a rec-

ommendation, as its members opted to instead hold all discussions on the topic on Monday night.

Councilors said they likely would vote on the ordinance at Monday’s meeting, which occurred after Current’s scheduled press time. The results of the meeting and details on the ordinance, however, can be found at currentincarmel.com.

By Kevin Kane kevin@youarecurrent.com Five years ago, the Carmel International Arts Festival displayed the work of 185 mostly local artists. Few applicants were turned away as organizers attempted to grow and develop the annual art show.

Those days now are over, though. CIAF is in its 14th year, and the event continues to get better with age. The annual and two-day festival now includes far fewer crafts more national talent, and acceptance into the event only is available to serious artists.

Chairwoman Rosemary Waters is in her eighth year running the festival, which in its earliest days was held at Civic Square. CIAF was moved to the Arts & Design District five years ago, but Waters took over when it was held outside at the Providence at Old Meridian apartment and townhome community.

“The last year there was just pathetic,” Waters said. “[The bar] needed to be raised.”

The improvement was made by creating stricter requirements and upping the competition. CIAF has slimmed down significantly in recent years. This year’s event will feature 135 juried artists, which is about the maximum given the event’s current arrangement in the Arts District. Still, Waters said the days of featuring as many artists as possible are over. There is no quota to meet, and while she can fit 135 to 140 artist booths on Main Street each year, she said the CIAF Committee now might only admit 100 in a given year, for example, if the rest of the available spaces can’t be filled with high-caliber art.

And many artists have found that being admitted to previous years’ festivals doesn’t guarantee a return in later years. A little more than half of last year’s artists are returning this year for an event that’s featuring a constantly increasing level of out-of-state talent. About one-third of this year’s 135 artists are from other states as far away as Texas and New York, and this is by design.

A few years ago, Waters and other members of the committee began traveling to other states to find talent.

“We went around to other arts festivals and

took cards if we saw somebody we liked,” she said, adding that the committee would later invite these artists to apply to CIAF. “You’d be amazed. Word gets around.”

Waters now believes CIAF is easily among the state’s best arts festivals, despite the fact that it’s free, organized by volunteers and has a budget that is significantly less than that of other Indiana festivals.

“When you get to be Penrod’s and Broad Ripple’s status and you have the same quality of art, that’s pretty good,” said Waters’ husband, Paxton Waters, a business owner in the Arts District who informally assists in organizing the event.

That could be good news for the owners of the district’s many art galleries.

While attendance has risen significantly in recent years – 2010 saw a record 30,000 attendees between the two days – the people coming to the event also have changed, Waters said.

The elimination of the children’s area and the reduction of crafts have reduced the number of families. Waters said many families in the past would come to CIAF “because it was something to do,” but while food and live music still draw those looking for an activity, Waters said more attendees are serious shoppers looking to purchase or commission artwork at the event.

“The festival is one of the reasons I moved my gallery here,” said Kathleen Stevens, owner of Renaissance Fine Art & Design at 1 S. Range Line Rd. “It brings business to my business.”

Though Stevens attended her first CIAF last year, she said she “loved the quality of the art” and even features the work of some of the festival’s artists in her gallery.

For Waters, reaching this point is the payoff after years of hard work and difficult choices.

But now she and the committee have CIAF at a level where they said they believe it should be and believe enough people could come out to beat last year’s record attendance.

“They know they’re going to see a good show,” she said.

Ambulance bills now payable by credit card

Celebrating the auto

Edgie and Ali Tobin, 8, of Carmel

IU Health North presented the fourth annual Artomobilia, a celebration of automotive art and design, in the Arts & Design District on Sept. 10.

This year’s event celebrated the 100-year history of Chevrolet with a special spotlight on the 1963 Corvette.

editorial@youarecurrent.com One of the most common forms of payment can now be used to cover emergency services.

The City Council at its Sept. 6 meeting approved an ordinance permitting the Carmel Smith Fire Dept. to accept credit card payments for the use of its ambulance and other related services. “If you can pay by credit card at Wendy’s, you ought to be able to pay for your ambulance service the same way,�

Councilwoman Luci Snyder said.

Fire Chief Kevin Smith said people often request to use a credit card to pay for the portion of their bills not covered by insurance but have previously been forced to use other forms of payment.

He added that the change will make the payment process easier for Carmel residents as well as the department. “This makes it easier for them and makes the collection of ambulance bills easier for us,� Smith said.

Starting the school year on the right foot COMMENTARY

By Edy Stoughton For many children, school is a positive experience of acquiring the skills they need to succeed in life. However, as the head of Midwest Academy, I see children whose educational experience has not gone well. As an experienced educator and administrator, I have a few suggestions that can help you child start the school year successfully or get back on track if the year has not begun well.

The most helpful attitude that parents can have is cautious optimism. Assume that teachers and administrators want things to go well for their students and that most children are resilient and can deal with the typical bumps in the road. But at the same time, trust your instincts and don’t overlook warning signs.

One caution: Don’t let too much time pass in the hope that a problem will disappear. Be proactive in dealing with issues before they escalate and your child loses too much ground. If it turns out that your worries are groundless, you will save much time spent in worrying. However, make sure your concerns are taken seriously and not trivialized. You are an important member of your child’s educational team and you have valuable and unique insights into your child that are important for school personnel to know. Write your main points down and bring them with you to focus the discussion and make sure your questions are answered.

Keep a close eye on your child’s homework load. If your child is spending hours each night with no time for relaxing or family time, or if your child consistently brings work home that he or she doesn’t understand, it is important to discuss these issues with school personnel.

Homework can be a very real source of tension and anxiety if it is overwhelming.

Make sure school personnel take seriously any concerns about your child’s emotional well-being.

Bullying and exclusion are sadly common, and they must be taken very seriously. If you fear that your child is being victimized in any way, insist that it be dealt with immediately. Sometimes children don’t tell their parents if they are being bullied for fear of alarming them or because they feel that somehow it is their fault. Be alert to a pervasive mood of sadness, a consistent desire to not go to school, little or no contact with friends, sleeplessness, and other similar signs.

Hopefully, this will be a positive and productive year for you and your child. A few precautions including open communication between home and school and a proactive stance if you are concerned will go a long way toward making that happen.

DISPATCHES » Fastest way to board – Airlines for years have sought the fastest way to board a plane, as studies have shown that an airline can save up to $30 per flight for every minute cut from boarding. An astrophysicist thinks he’s found it. Jason Steffen of Fermi National Laboratory in Illinois suggests that loading passengers by alternating rows, starting from the back of the plane, is quickest. When loading people in a row, travelers in window seats file in first, then middle seats, followed by aisle seats. Steffen’s way emerged as the fastest when pitted against four other boarding methods, the BBC reported.

Washington St., Indianapolis. The event is free and open to the public. Visit www. ibcindianapolis.edu for details. » Steam in your microwave — Don’t buy a special steamer for your veggies.

Broccoli, green beans, and carrots actually come out better — tender and never brown or withered. Even sturdy and nutrient-dense greens like collards, chard, and broccoli rabe (which are generally boiled, drained, and sautéed) can be cooked in one step in the microwave. Combine about a pound of cut-up leaves and stems with a tablespoon of oil, and chopped onion or garlic. Cook for about five minutes or until softened and tender, stirring once or twice during cooking.

September gardening tip – Dig up your rosemary, basil, tarragon, oregano, marjoram, English thyme, parsley, and chives to grow them inside as houseplants. Keep them in a cool, sunny spot, and allow the soil to dry out before watering. Snip off the leaves as needed in the kitchen, but do not strip them completely.

Tom Collins

Basically gin with sparkling lemonade, the Tom Collins cocktail was born of the Great Tom Collins Hoax of 1874. The hoax began as a game, in which someone would ask another if he’d seen Tom Collins, asserting that this character (who didn’t really exist) had been spreading rumors about him. A flurry of urgent searching would ensue, and the supposedly maligned searcher would end up feeling foolish.

powder, and salt in a large bowl; add the pecans; stir to blend. Place the oil, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in the bowl of your food processor.

Process until blended then gradually add the carrots through the feed tube while the motor is running.

Process until the carrots are finely chopped. Pour the carrot mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well blended. Spread the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the sides and you can place a tooth pick into the middle and it comes out dry. Cool on a wire rack.

To make the frosting beat the cream cheese and conf. sugar until smooth.

Add the lemon juice, nutmeg and vanilla. Spread the frosting over the cooled bars and then sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cut into bars.

Decorate each with an icing orange carrot with green leaves. Or decorate each with a team “letter” symbol, like the ND for Notre Dame.

Transfer steak to a grooved cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

Fun for the whole family!

At The Stratford we don’t have to go outside to get to our grand dining room for a delicious, hot meal. We don’t have to drive anywhere to pick out a good read from our library. No one has to hit the sidewalk to travel to the wellness center for some exercise (ours is just down the hall in the clubhouse). We don’t even have to clean up after our parties because the amazing staff here does it for us.

In short, while the rest of the area is digging out—we‘ll be living it up!

This could be you this winter, so call 317-733-9560 now and ask our Lifestyle Advisors about the benefits of living at The Stratford. By the first snow of this year—you’ll be glad you did!

DISPATCHES » Exercise myth – Myth: Lift less weight with more reps to get toned. Truth: To get toned, you need larger muscles and less fat, and challenging your body through heavier lifting is a big part of this equation. In fact, a study at Georgia Southern University determined lifting 85 percent of your maximum ability for eight reps burns about twice as many calories in the two hours post-workout compared with 15 reps at 45 percent max.

And don’t worry: Lifting heftier iron won’t transform you into a bodybuilder; achieving that look requires eating a high-calorie diet and a long-term power-lifting regimen.

Your medical information is not actually private -- you sell it without realizing it. If you look at your doctor’s office bill or EOB (explanation of benefits), you’ll see coded numbers (CPT and ICD9). Those numbers tell your insurance company or Medicare all of the information about your visit and treatment.

They not only get the bill with all of its coding, they have the right to look through your

Be sure to check the serving size on the nutrition facts label and account for the extra fat (and calories) consumed if you eat more than one serving.

It will hurt at first, but doing this increases the energy flow to help release the muscle the same way a sports massage works to ease the pain. If you have pain in a hard-to-reach spot--such as your back, shoulder, or neck-apply pressure with a tennis ball. Simply lay on the floor, place the ball near the area where there’s pain, and roll it around until you find the most tender spot. Lie there for 1 to 5 minutes, or until you feel your muscles relax.

How the rest was one

Spirituality

By Bob Walters One of the great big things largely missing from contemporary Christianity is a coherent understanding of church history.

And by church history, I don’t mean Vatican II, the Billy Graham crusades, or the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution’s first amendment. I mean the years and decades immediately following Jesus Christ’s ministry, death and resurrection, followed by centuries of doctrinal and church development.

Why, or rather, how, did Christianity thrive in those early years when no modern understanding of popular faith can explain its survival? Jesus wasn’t especially well known.

Christians were killed, oftentimes in horrible ways, for the crime of simply being Christian.

Jewish scripture was not widely known outside of Judaism. There were no Bibles, and the New Testament was unwritten.

And yet, here were these spirit-filled Christians.

Pagan idols were manmade. The mythic gods provided stories but no consequential teaching. Roman law dictated worship of Caesar.

Academics of the day relied on the Greek understanding of evidence and logical proof. Yet here were these Christians, worshipping the living Son of the Creator God incarnate among

mankind, revealing the truth of God’s love for His creation, and dying to erase mankind’s sin.

How do you explain that?

The thing is … you can’t explain it. What happened in those earliest years of Christianity was that eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus shared what they saw and heard, and in faith followed Christ as their Lord. There was evidence and proof in the hearts of the eyewitnesses, and by the power of the Holy Spirit those hearts continued in faith through the generations of mankind. The Spirit remains with us even now.

It’s not enough for today’s Christian to read the Bible’s Book of Acts (written by the Apostle Luke), memorize verse 2:42, and say, “OK, let’s sing some breezy modern worship songs, feel good about Jesus, and come back to church next week.”

The story of Christianity is magnificen.

Jesus, our rest, is eternal and infinite … but hard to explain. Knowing where the faith has been can build our hope in where our faith, as one body of believers, is going.

Bob Walters (www.believerbob. blogspot.com, email rlwcom@aol. com), who knows Christianity is more about where we’re going than where we’ve been, nonetheless recommend’s Alister McGrath’s “Christian Theology” and Robert Wilken’s “The Spirit of Early Christian Thought.” Don’t just “look up” … look it up!

by MasterCard found that 71 percent of people hunting for airfares aren’t aware you can get back some of the cost difference if airfare drops after you book. The refund is in the form of a voucher that can be used for future flights. To get a refund, keep checking the price of your flights after your purchase and then pounce if you see that your trip is available for less. Fares change by the day and even by the hour, so you have to request a refund from the airline before the price goes up again. Call a customer service agent to request the refund.

Instinctually, partly right COMMENTARY

By David Cain We all have a tendency to underrate our instincts. Out instincts are what keep us alive.

Our instincts are what feed us. Our instincts are what keep us from harm. And our instincts are at play every day in all aspects of our life.

If this were caveman times, we’d perhaps have a greater appreciation for our instincts. We’d listen to how we feel more than what we thought, we’d trust our initial reactions rather than second guessing them.

But there are no dinosaurs chasing us around.

In today’s world we all spend time analyzing decisions, calculating outcomes, measuring possibilities and weighing alternatives - sometimes to the point of exhaustion.

Is all the cognitive effort worth it? Is all the thinking really over-thinking? Is it time to rethink thinking?

Too often the well intended decision-making efforts simply slow everything down – long meetings to hash out issues, discussing decisions yet again. Call it micromanaging, call it sound business, or call it the slowdown showdown. Nothing seems to grind things to a halt more than overthinking decisions. Have we all forgot, it’s okay to

be wrong? At least if you are willing to be wrong, you are willing to move forward.

Instincts are our internal compass telling us what to do to survive. Even though our culture has evolved and we know more than our cavemen ancestors, we still make decisions based on the same fundamentals.

We make decisions based on our instincts and our instincts are all about survival. Your decisions today might not all be life or death, but they are still principled on survival only in the context of all the things that matter to you in your life.

I’ve recommitted to listening to my instincts.

Hear the problem, feel the solution. I’m okay being wrong because it is really partly right. I can’t remember too many times where I’ve been completely wrong. Maybe it’s time to call it partly right when things don’t go perfectly? Maybe it’s time to rebrand wrong? Maybe it’s time to trust your instincts more? And maybe you’ll eliminate a few meetings and anxieties along the way.

Soft-filtered water ... not a hard decision

If this were caveman times, we’d perhaps have a greater appreciation for our instincts.

Custom bath remodel with enlarged walk-in shower COMMENTARY

By Larry Greene ORIGINAL MASTER BATH: This home is located in the Feather Cove subdivision in the Geist area. When the homeowners recently purchased their 20-year-old home, they knew the master bath was the first thing on their list to renovate. According to the homeowners, “We had this small fiberglass shower (think telephone booth), carpeting on the floor, very short vanities, poor space utilization and out-of-date fixtures and countertops.”

NEW CUSTOM DESIGN: The design team set out to modify the overall floor plan as needed to come up with a functional design to meet the owner’s needs. According to the owner, “The 3-D design experience was excellent. We were able to work in a real-time basis to make changes and immediately see a 3-D rendering of the finished bathroom.”

FAVORITE FEATURES: The homeowner commented, “The redesign of our space allowing us to have a full size walk-in shower is our favorite part of the remodel. The features we enjoy include the efficient use of space, walk-in shower, taller counters, new travertine flooring, free standing tub, upgraded fixtures and new coun-

Before tertops. We enjoy it very much.”

CONSTRUCTION LESSONS: Materials were all ordered in advance and stored offsite, thus avoiding delays caused by late delivery. The construction phase lasted about four weeks. The bathroom was sealed with a zippered “air lock” to keep any dust from the remainder of the house. Each day drop cloths were placed over hardwood floors and removed at the end of the day. Carpeting was protected with a self-sticking durable plastic sheet, it survived throughout the construction.

SHOWER DETAILS: The walk-in shower includes a frameless glass enclosure with two panels and brushed nickel hardware. The new

DISPATCHES » Get a hot-oil treatment – Save a bundle by substituting jojoba oil (find it in natural food stores for about $10) for pricier hairrepair products once a week. “Jojoba has a fine molecular structure that allows it to enter and fill the hair shaft, making it a perfect choice for conditioning,” says Paul Labrecque, a New York salon owner. Spread the oil liberally through dry hair, put on a plastic shower cap, then cover with a hot towel for 30 minutes.

Change is good … very, very good INTERIOR DESIGN

By Vicky Earley Times change, people change and lives change. It really is a good thing.

So what can you do to keep a room or a home from looking dated? Well, I say there’s nothing you can do to keep a room from looking dated other than tweaking and changing as time goes on.

A few easily-remedied trends that might be dragging your home firmly into the past are more than just the golden oak cabinets that were the signature style of the 1980s.

It might be a bit more subtle…things might escape your attention because you are accustomed to seeing them each and every day.

Bad faux finish. Whether you brought out the sponge and newspapers or turned the job over to a pro, there are just some faux finishes ready to be painted over. I am not talking about faux finish in general…I am referring to the smishes and swirls leftover from the early days of faux. The metallic and pearls of the faux 2011 finish world are current and fresh.

Heavy duty murals. Keep in mind I am responsible for a few of these murals and I apologize. If you still have one, look to see if it is bringing your room to a point of paralysis. If so, it might be the right time to bid the full wall

Tuscan vineyard scene complete with hot air balloons, a fond farewell and adieu.

Vinyl letters on the wall reflect sweetly on family, love and assorted endearments.

They are vinyl and should peel off easily. It was endearing five years ago but the vinyl letters weren’t even a design trend, they were a momentary fad.

Chalkboard paint for anything other than a child. Several months ago I saw a chalkboard headboard featured on a website called Apartment Therapy. Chalkboards for children: good.

Chalkboard paint for a grown-up house: bad.

The brass bullet. I thought they had all been removed and taken to Goodwill but I had a rare sighting of one several weeks ago. They are the long, glass and brass entry fixtures, a staple of the late 1980s. Be glad you got 25 years of use out if it and say good bye.

The next time you pass a mirror and notice your big hair with Farrah wisps need a trim, remember change is good.

DISPATCHES » Diagnosing heartworms – Dogs with only a few heartworms may seem fine at first but symptoms worsen over time. You’ll notice reluctance to exercise, shortness of breath and coughing. Dogs can faint from overexertion. Eventually, untreated dogs develop congestive heart failure, and dogs can collapse and die. The vet bases diagnosis on several things, including blood antigen tests that detect female worms, X-rays and sonograms to look at the heart and lungs, and urinalysis.

-www.pawnation.com » Include pets in estate plans? – Many seniors fail to consider their pets when building an estate plan, an oversight that often finds them homeless or in animal shelters, according to the Humane Society of the United States. People often incorrectly assume they will outlive their pet, or that a friend or family will take care of their pet when they are gone, according to Anne Culver, director of Disaster Services for the Humane Society.

Formal provisions can ensure a pet will receive proper care in a loving home after its owner has passed away. It is important to outline a temporary plan for a pet before even drafting a long-term plan.

Estate plans can take time to carry out, especially if they are contested, but pets need daily care and immediate attention.

What to do if you found a hound PETS

By John Mikesell Five things you should do if you find a stray dog.

If the dog is wearing a collar and tags with current contact information for his owner, you’re in luck –and the rest of the information is not relevant.

Take him to your local shelter. Don’t panic; you don’t have to leave him there if you are concerned your local shelter is unsafe, unclean, or poorly managed.

If the dog has as owner who is actually trying to find the dog, the owner will most likely come to the shelter to look for the dog. Few people, except the most dedicated owners, think to read the ads in the classified section or on craigslist.

Ask the shelter staff to scan the dog, to see if he has an implanted microchip. If he does, the staff should be able to help you track down contact information for the dog’s owner.

This seems like a no-brainer, but it is not always the first thought you have. It always is a surprise to me, how many dogs and cats are not chipped.

If he does not have a microchip, and you don’t want to leave him at the shelter, you should at least file a “found dog” report at the shelter. This protects you in case you end up deciding to keep the dog or you give the dog to a friend. It shows you made a reasonable effort to find the dog’s owner. If the owner shows up some time later and wants his dog back, you’ll need to be able to prove the attempt was made in order to protect your right to the dog.

Some shelters take a photo of the dog for their “found dog” reports and file those online.

Few people are aware shelters keep these reports; most people just check the shelter kennels and/ or website.

Take a photo of the dog and make a “found dog” flier; post it in as many places as you can

ome We cyou! to

in the area where you found the dog. Most dog owner’s look at posters for lost or found pets, and many of us are more familiar with our neighbors’ pets than their owners. This way, you are recruiting a small army of people who might be able to help reunite the dog and his owner.

If you bring the dog home, take immediate steps to protect your pets. Check to see if the dog is infested with fleas; if he is, you’ll want to use some sort of potent flea control product immediately, before the fleas can populate your car or home. If your dogs are not vaccinated or are immune-suppressed, you may want to keep the stray dog as far from your dog as possible until you can make sure he’s not sick with anything transmissible. Wash your hands well after handling the stray, and clean up his waste immediately.

Back to school and backpacks HUMOR

By Dick Wolfsie I never wore a bike helmet when I was a kid.

I have no recollection of using seatbelts. Things were different in those days. My Little League baseball coach instructed us not to drink water when we were practicing because it would give us a stomach ache.

Every time my mother bought me a pair of shoes, they X-rayed both my feet for good measure and then I’d also get zapped with a chest X-ray anytime I went to the pediatrician.

I’m not into conspiracy theories, but looking back now, this may have been a well-executed plot to prevent Boomers from living into adulthood and bleeding dry all the future Social Security and Medicare funds.

I don’t ever remember wearing a backpack when I was a kid. Most of us had three-ring binders and we stacked our algebra and English lit book on top then trotted down the hall to class. A few nerds (or whatever they were called in the ’60s) carried briefcases. This made it tough on bullies because it was hard to get both a seventh grader and an attaché case into a locker.

The hottest new thing in backpacks is L.L. Bean’s Turbo Transit II, which is also the highspeed train my sister takes to work from Long Island to Manhattan. The backpack is 2,400 cubic inches, the ideal size, say the Bean counters.

Of course, if you told me that 2,400 cubic inches

is the size of my front lawn, I’d have believed that, also.

Now, scientists say: “A loaded backpack should not exceed 10 percent of the child’s weight, so a grade-schooler who weighs 100 pounds should only be hauling (wait, wait, don’t tell me)—10 pounds.” This astounding calculation comes to us from the fine folks at AOTA (the American Occupational Therapy Association), who also note: “A backpack worn too low will cause a child’s shoulders to hunch and neck to lean forward.” We didn’t have backpacks in the ’60s, but that’s still a darn good description of my entire high school graduating class parading up to get their diplomas.

AOTA researchers roamed the corridors of hundreds of high schools and asked more than 1,000 students if they could weigh them and then weigh their backpacks. About 50 percent did exceed the recommended limit. The other half called school security.

Last year there were 29,754 backpack-related injuries reported by emergency rooms across the country. I’m not sure what that means, but this has to be a good thing for today’s aspiring scholars. “The dog ate my homework” just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Teaching the tales of popular music HUMOR Mike Redmond I’m teaching again, much to the consternation of the people who knew me as a student, and so far, this is shaping up as a pretty good semester. Of course, we’re only three weeks into it, so there’s still plenty of time for a disaster, but I’m optimistic.

The subject is “The history of American popular music.” I got the job by virtue of my experience as a newspaper music critic, back when newspapers had such things. I got THAT job by virtue of my experience as a musician. And I just noticed this is the first time I have ever seen the word “virtue” appear in a paragraph about me. Twice, no less.

Anyway, one of the things I love about teaching this class is shattering the perceptions of students who think the history of American popular music is going to be a class about today’s pestiferous host of one-named pop stars, from Akon to Zendaya, or a tradition that goes back to such antiquities as Madonna and Prince.

I define popular music as “music made by people.” Of course, this lets out a lot of today’s pop songs because as far as my ears can tell, the greater share of the electronic noise that blasts through modern earphones has been untouched by human hands.

So I take my students all the way back to the 17th century or so and work forward through the different eras of American history and the music they spawned. The nice thing is you don’t encounter any singers named Britney for most of the trip.

I like teaching. I like looking out over a classroom and seeing the bright, eager faces buried in their laptops and concentrating furiously on their smart phones. I like telling them anyone

plinking away on an electronic device after class begins will eat it. As I say this, I usually put a bottle of room service ketchup on the lectern.

Works every time.

But I also make sure my students know my philosophy of education, which is: It should be enjoyable if not downright fun.

It should teach you more than is apparent in the subject matter, and The teacher-student relationship should be cooperative, not adversarial.

As you may already have surmised, this is a philosophy based on everything my education was not.

I kid sort of. I had fun, I learned a lot, and I had some wonderful teachers. But I also have entire years of school I have chosen to wipe from my memory simply because they were so awful, so boring, or so awfully boring. This accounts for fifth, seventh, ninth and 12th grades and most of my college courses.

I tell my students it is my job to help them get the best grade possible. They like that idea.

Then I tell them they’ll be doing most of the heavy lifting and they don’t like it quite as much, but at least they know I’m on their side.

And now, if you will excuse me, I have to prepare a lesson plan on the music of Stephen Foster. Last week I asked for a show of hands to see if anybody even knew who he was. Not a paw went up. As you can see, I have my work cut out for me. Or rather, my students do.
