Annual Alzheimer’s Walk to take place in mid-October By Bryan Gilmer • editorial@youarecurrent.com The nationwide Alzheimer’s walk will be held this year on Oct. 14 with more than 600 communities participating, including Carmel. The event strives to raise funds for a cure for Alzheimer’s, the nation’s sixth leading cause of death. Many long-term stay organizations participate in this event, and the Clare Bridge of Carmel is one of them. Clare Bridge is a Brookdale Senior Living Community that provides care to seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia, located at 301 Executive Dr. “The (Carmel) community is very involved,” Janice Pegues, Executive Director at Clare Bridge, said of this year’s Alzheimer’s Walk. Pegues went on to say that several members of the organization will be working the Alzheimer’s walk. Moreover, churches and other long-stay communities in Carmel put a substantial amount of effort into raising awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Walk. Pegues stressed that the Clare Bridge foundation is dedicated towards the care of those affected by Alzheimer’s, and that it is a secure community which protects members from the dangers of Alzheimer’s and dementia such as wandering and accidental injury. Last year, the Clare Bridge of Carmel foundation raised $1,600 towards a cure for the disease,

Last year's walk and this year’s goal has been increased to $3,000. Besides the Alzheimer’s walk, the Clare Bridge of Carmel organization also has fundraisers throughout October, which will also raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Foundation. The money raised in Carmel and throughout the nation will work towards the cure to Alzheimer’s that would improve the quality of life of many senior citizens. The walk will take place in Military Park in downtown Indianapolis starting at noon on Oct. 14. Besides the Clare Bridge foundation, many other long-stay communities will be working tents and walking with participants. There will be bounce houses for kids and many organizations will have tents that offer services such as face paintings. Pegues invites everyone to walk with the Clare Bridge group. “Look for the Clare Bridge tent and join us,” she said.

Action: The Carmel City Council held a second reading on Ordinance D-2108-12, adopting the resolution by a unanimous 7-0 vote. What it means: Sponsored by President Sharp and Councilors Seidensticker and Snyder, the move allows the Council to remove the responsibilities of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission and establish the Carmel Redevelopment Department. The decision is a direct result of the CRC’s request of the Council to refinance $190 million dollars in debt.
What’s next: The City Council will now have complete oversight of the CRD’s budget and employees, as well the ability to limit expenditures and the retaining of consultants, something Council President Rick Sharp said led to the CRC’s financial struggles.

Action: The Council held its second reading of Ordinance Z-560-12; it was adopted. What it means: Sponsored by Councilor Rider, Z-560-12 extends the Sunset Provision on the process for demolition of contributing buildings of Old Town District Overlay Zone in the Carmel Zoning Ordinance. Action: The Council held its third reading of Ordinance D-2106-12; it was adopted. What it means: Sponsored by President Sharp, D-2106-12 is a policy regarding nepotism and contracting with the city to be codified in City Code Chapter 2, Article 5, Sections 2-181 (City Policy Regarding Nepotism) and 2-189 (City Policy Regarding Contracting with the City by Relatives of Elected Officials).

Dance Kaleidescope fundraiser By Ryan Zukerman • editorial@youarecurrent.com On Sept. 29, Izabela and Ersal Ozdemir hosted a fundraiser for Dance Kaleidoscope, which she called, “Indiana’s longest dancing professional contemporary dance company,” at their home. The event, which was hosted by the Ozdemirs and Bob Gowen (member of the Board of Trustees of Dance Kaleidoscope), was titled “A Leap Forward.” According to Izabela, she used to dance with Dance Kaleidoscope and when she was asked to join the board two years ago she wanted to give back and, “raise money and greater awareness of the wonderful company.” “It has always been my dream to create a moment in time where world class dancers bring to a intimate setting what you would normally see in a theater,” she said. “And an important element to allowing Dance Kaleidoscope and its dancers to flourish is through this kind of unique and intimate fundraiser.” The evening, which included 180 guests, featured a poolside performance of Romeo and Juliet choreographed by David Hochoy, Artistic director for Dance Kaleidoscope, and dinner. As of last Wednesday, the event raised more than $54,000 but donations continue to pour in. “We were overwhelmed and exhilarated at the support and turnout for our Dance Kaleidoscope fundraiser,” Izabela said. According to the company’s website, the ensemble consists of 11 dancers all trained in the technique of Martha Graham and classical ballet. “These talented individual artists bring their multi-faceted skills to form an ensemble dedicated to giving world-class performances of contemporary dance,” it said.
Shop Talk Two thumbs up for festivals Commentary by Jason “Hogjawz” Peek I don’t know what to think; I am able to give a thumbs-up to two Arts & Design District festivals. The International Arts Festival was busy and so was the barber shop – we had about three new people just walk in, but the important thing is that my customers were able to be informed by our Facebook page about road closures and traffic was able to come in from the south to hit the District. I didn’t get to talk to any other merchants because I was actually busy working this time, instead of walking around talking to them about why we’re all slow and trying to find a better way to do things around here. Maybe the citizens in Carmel are now being more informed and they are used to the festivities … I’m not sure, but it’s working better. Rosemary and staff were kind enough to accommodate some requests and it ran smoothly. This by far was Main St. Barbers’ busiest festival day in the six years we’ve been open. And the food – oh yeah – loving it! Lots of art and crafts to look at and people to talk to, plus my man Bruce at Old Town Tavern selling those frosty libations I love so much. So now I’m a fan this year of Art Festival and Artomobillia. These festivals work and are fun for the community. Let’s keep the positive going and keep working together to build up this hot spot.

Keen eyesight in the fall Commentary by Jeff Worrell
The explosion of fall colors on the trees are now flourishing in Indiana. And for the vast majority, a quick look up is rewarded with brilliant shades of orange and red. The Carmel Lions Club wants to make sure everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery and that is why it dedicates so many hours and resources to protecting and enhancing eyesight. This year, Lionsare especially focused on children and are holding the IU Health Pumpkin Patch Festival. It includes a 5K Run/Family Walk on Oct. 13 at IU Health North Hospital, 9 a.m. The proceeds from the event will go towards eyeglasses for needy children, Leader dogs for the sight-impaired, eye screenings for preschool children and the Diabetes Youth Camp. Lion Jeff Boller started the first 5K seven years ago. The idea was to support the KidSight program. The Carmel Lions KidSight program is credited with saving children from irreversible blindness by doing early intervention screenings and catching problems timely. This year, the screenings will be held from noon to 3 p.m. after the race as a key component of the Pumpkin Patch Festival. Lions Dwight and Alice Gossett and Lee and Jane Flower will be conducting the screenings, looking for Lazy Eye, myopia, hyperopia and anisometropia. Expert runner and
Make Your Cash Work harder For You
Lion Adam Cmejla is the chairman of the event this year. His goal is to increase the number of runners who participate and increase awareness of the Lions Club effort to fight blindness. Lion Tom Lorson who has been involved with the project for several years and is responsible for creating the connection between the Lions and IU Health put it best. He said, “We feel this partnership with IU Health North Hospital is mutually beneficial and will only grow stronger in coming years. This event is a great way for us to carry out our motto of We Serve.� If the Lions work for eyesight is not enough, let me also give kudos for their recent dictionary distribution project. This month, Lions donated 675 dictionaries to all third graders at five Carmel elementary schools. They are motivated by two key goals. Third grade is when dictionary skills are actually taught in school but more important, the belief that third grade is when students start reading to learn instead of learning to read. The world is such a beautiful place; come out and help the Lions help everyone see it for themselves.

Carmel #1 in Debt
Commentary by John Accetturo
You won’t see a press release from the City about Carmel’s No. 1 ranking in debt. Likewise, I doubt Money magazine will put this number one ranking on its cover. I also doubt that the City Council, Redevelopment Commission and Mayor Jim Brainard would like to admit that together they have created this number one debt ranking. The State of Indiana Department of Local Government Finance released the Local Government Debt Report on Sept. 21. Carmel found itself Number 1 for civil cities with $895 million in debt. This number equates to $11,303 of debt for every man, woman and child in our city. Compare that to the Consolidated City of Indianapolis which has a per capita debt of $2,286. Only four government entities in our state had a higher debt total; Marion County Health and Hospital, Indianapolis Consolidated City, Marion County Airport and Indianapolis Public Schools. You can review the report on line at http://www.in.gov/dlgf/files/120921_-_Local_Government_Debt_Report.pdf At last Monday’s City Council meeting, Brainard refuted the report saying it just wasn’t so. This was kind of interesting since Carmel itself submitted the data that makes up the report. City Council President Rick Sharp re-
sponded that at least $200 million of the debt was created without city council approval. This report was being avoided like the plaque because no one wanted to admit to the fact that Carmel has too much debt. If things are going so great why can’t the Carmel Redevelopment Development Commission make its debt payments? If the Carmel Redevelopment Commission has enough revenue, why is a refinancing proposal sitting in front of the City Council that will require $190 million to refinance $153 million in debt? The package creates an additional debt of $37 million to our already No. 1 debt level. It’s nice to have a lot of revenues but I doubt even the richest person in the world wants the distinction of having the most debt. Psychologists say that the first step in resolving a problem is admitting that you have one. There did not seem to be too many admissions by our elected officials in the council chambers on Monday. Maybe our elected officials should use some of their government-provided health benefits to get some help. We want the best for our city.

To refinance, or not – that is the question Commentary by Luci Snyder After a recent article in an Indianapolis publication, most people are now aware that the Carmel Redevelopment Commission is in a difficult financial situation, of their own making. Although this year the CRC will collect close to $22,000,000 in commercial taxes (TIF), they don’t have enough income to continue paying their bills. And because they have borrowed more than they can pay back, banks will no longer loan them money to continue. The current City Council understands that the Center of the Performing Arts cost millions more than was presented to the public; nevertheless, it is there and the money is owed. Therefore, we must insure that it prospers. We also now understand that the CRC has $195,000,000 in high interest, short term debt that needs to be restructured at a lower interest rate to save money and actually preserve income. But why should the Council contemplate this refinance, putting the full faith and credit of the City of Carmel on the line to bail out the CRC?
Tailored to a child/parent friendly environment.
Certainly a responsible fiscal body should put aside the years of acrimony and denial by the CRC and move to save the millions that are being squandered on high interest rates … But only under certain conditions: If the payments on the new bonds are completely covered by the CRC’s TIF income. If there will be enough TIF income remaining to cover payments on the $80,000,000 Performing Arts Center bond that, if not covered, would result in a tax on residential property owners. If the CRC uses that income generated to support The Center for the Performing Arts and finish City Center. Finally, if, and only if, the Council can insure that the CRC won’t do it all over again. In other words, we will pay their credit card bill … but we will take their card away.

In 1970, an 18-year-old Paxton Waters walked into the University of Nebraska. His intention was to sign up for courses about, and eventually major in, engineering. His father was an engineer, Waters was good at math and all the attendant subjects, and so it simply made sense for the apple to fall near the tree. That is not what ended up happening. “I was there for about three hours, and the line never moved,” Waters says while seated comfortably in a deep armchair in his downtown Carmel office. “I looked over at the Waters with Rusty Wallace, left, and Derek Daly. architectural line, and there were only five or six people there.

Sign language It is our position that political discussions should be an acceptable form of public discourse. Greek philosopher Aristotle famously asserted that “Man is a political animal.” Yet, in most social circles, people avoid two main topics - religion and politics - for the sake of peace. If political discussions are avoided among friends and neighbors, how can society truly gain an understanding of the issues at hand and unite in sensible solutions? That social stigma is perhaps how political pundits gain and keep their pedestals. An easy way to start the conversation in your own backyard is by displaying a yard sign. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and that includes certain campaign signs. Out of the millions of dollars in campaign financing, why aren’t signs free? It’s a low tech, direct way of displaying support for candidates and political platforms. For those fearful of retaliation for displaying a yard sign, it’s a potential criminal act if the signs are removed by an unauthorized source. The stakes are especially high this election year. Show a sign of support. At the very least, fly an American flag, talk to your neighbors and respect their right to express an opinion.

There's something about scary Commentary by Terry Anker
Halloween is rapidly approaching and with it comes the corresponding host of traditions. Some of us will festoon the house – top to bottom with all matter of frightening (and fun) paraphernalia designed to usher in the coming winter. Others, no doubt, will resist the event all together decrying the ritual, at best, as a fiction invented by enterprising greeting card manufacturers (like so many modern American holidays) or, at worst, a throwback to paganism unworthy of national celebration. But many more will simply carve a pumpkin, help the kids dress as their favorite Disney princess or mutant ninja turtle, and pass out some candy picked up earlier that day at a convenience store on the way home from work. Our family falls somewhere into the last camp. We break out relatively modest fall gear, including a few ghoul-specific tchotchke to instruct the world that we know what month it is. Yet when a couple of kids were added to our little home, Halloween took on new sig-
nificance. Now instead of thinking what topical couple would be especially entertaining for our friends at their annual Monster’s Bash, Carolyn and I became the consummate parents. We dutifully planned kids’ costumes and executed elaborate strategies to make the most of the annual event. For these 17 years or so, my mom has made an outstanding chili dinner (the first of the autumn), Carolyn would fill the candy dish and pass it generously to neighborhood kids, and I would conspire with other dads on the block to shepherd our collective of little beggars from door to door. This year, my youngest announced that he’d rather go with friends in an adjacent neighborhood for the night’s festivities. I understand. He’s old enough; but for me, it may be the scariest Halloween ever. And, I’m not sure I’m ready.

Tom Corbett. The law required photo ID cards for voters. With the law’s defeat, you can place the Keystone State in President Barack Obama’s column on Nov. 6. We’re willing to state the obvious: The law in no way disenfranchises any voter; it is an attempt to prevent fraudulent voting, so those opposed to it, well, let’s just say they like a little breathing room when it comes to the definition of “legal voting.” Granted, there’s voter fraud on both sides, but we’re quite curious as to why the Democrats are so opposed to photo IDs.

New baby doesn’t impact twin powers Commentary by Danielle Wilson People ask me all the time about having a twin sister. Are you identical? Are you close? Do you have special powers? (See below for answers.) Truth be told, being a twin is one of the coolest freaks of nature possible, and I can’t imagine life without one. No, we are fraternal. She does have red hair, a shade much less abrasive than mine, but wears it curly and short, and does not require mascara to look alive. She is also smaller than I am, and she rarely has to adjust her position in a photo shoot to avoid the giant-head dilemma I generally encounter. Yes, we are close. Despite having lived in Los Angeles for almost 20 years, she is one of my best friends. We share memories of our Nanny burning Jiffy Pop on her gas stove, getting paddled as first-graders for saying “ass,” and surviving a train derailment in the Appalachian Mountains. And though we are on opposite ends of the career spectrum – I teach math and she restores art – we both secretly crave the spotlight and like to re-enact scenes from Mommy Dearest and Breakfast Club. Sometimes, we do have secret powers, none of which I can divulge at risk of forfeiting them to a higher power. But we did survive a train accident! So why am I writing about my twin? Well, good reader, she has been on my mind. She just
had her first baby, see, and while I am absolutely thrilled for her, I’m selfishly a little down that the experience hasn’t brought us closer. I thought as soon as she became a mother, we’d finally be able to relate on another level entirely. That she’d be constantly emailing with questions, that she’d be sending hordes of photos, and even, fingers crossed, that she’d call sobbing because she just couldn’t handle another sleepless night with an anti-breastfeeding infant. But there’s been none of that. I’ve yet to hear any complaining, whining, or hormone-induced hysteria, any “What have we done?” exclamations, not even a “This is really hard.” I haven’t had to talk her off any ledges or recommend a good hemorrhoid cream. Fact is, she doesn’t need me. My ultimate-sister role has been replaced by a beautiful little girl who looks a lot like her mom. Which, of course, is the way it should be, but I can’t help feeling a little sad, like maybe this is the end of our special bond. Sigh. Enough already! No more melancholy prose for me. “Wonder twin powers, activate!” I’m just going to let her know I’m here for her in whatever capacity she needs. That’s what twins, in particularly sisters, are really for, right? Peace out.

The old college try
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I’m the opposite of a pack rat. In fact, I hate clutter so much that my wife spends most of every Sunday night sorting through the trash that I have readied for pick-up the next day. She’s concerned that in my compulsive “tidying” I might throw away something of value. Okay, maybe I was a bit hasty trashing that album full of photos of her great grandfather, but they were in black and white. You can’t keep everything. The only thing I have trouble throwing away is old periodicals. Hundreds of Time magazines, for example, are piling up—about seven years of them. Why? I have always believed history repeats itself, and if that starts happening, I could cancel my subscription and save a few bucks by simply re-reading old issues in my basement. Another publication I have stacked in a corner of my office is the George Washington University Alumni Magazine. I seldom read it because I know there is no chance I’m going to be mentioned in it. Most of the folks who earn a shout-out are either CEOs of megacorporations, lobbyists, celebrities…or men and women who have passed on but had the foresight to hand over half their fortunes to the GWU endowment. I think every university has an obligation to celebrate all graduates, even average Joes like me. Here’s the kind of thing I’d like the association to print sometime:
King of Glory
Eric Henchman (Class of ’67): Eric blew off his senior year, spending most of his time in the pool room at the all-women’s dorm. Fortunately for him, his dad left him a boatload of cash, none of which this office has ever seen. But he’s a nostalgic guy and still occasionally hangs out at the girls’ dorm—just for old time’s sake. Jane Margolis (Class of ’73): Jane graduated with a 2.6 grade point average. In fact, just about everything about Jane was average. She married her high school sweetheart, Ted, has three grown kids, and is one of the youngest Walmart greeters in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Dick Wolfsie (Class of ’69): Dick was a big shot on campus from 1965 to 1969, but he has generally been a disappointment to all of us who expected great things (and a lot of money) from him since then. He spent nine years teaching at his former high school and could often be found after school meeting with the very teachers who had kept him after school just four years earlier. He left teaching in 1980 and has bounced around local TV in Indiana for about 30 years. He always seems to be in between jobs, and coincidentally it’s whenever we call him for a donation.

NEW HOPE FOR CHILDREN with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD
Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans Accepted Genetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing
“While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments. Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN
“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.
• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having difficulty making friends? • IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions? • FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home? • HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep? • ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions? If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.
People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing. Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.” - Renee and Ted Zlotopolski, Arnold, MO

Local orchards suffered losses in apple crop, but will continue fall festivities.
Carmel: Applefest – From 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, Carmel Applefest will take place in the PNC Bank parking lot, located on the northwest corner of Main St. and Range Line Rd. Enjoy live music, food, vendors, an art contest, kids' games, a raffle and more. The event is free and open to the public.
Katy Frantz • katy@youarecurrent.com The bite of frost in April this year caused an incomparable loss of apples, but local apple orchards and stores will still be selling the iconic fall fruit and hosting festivities. Stuckey Farm owner Jeff Pierce said the trees there bloomed early this year due to the abnormally warm February and March. But then the chill of April came back to bite the blooms. Apple orchards had to buy from other states that did not suffer the loss. Stuckey Farm, located at 19975 Hamilton-Boone County Line Rd., Sheridan, has shipped in a majority of apples from eastern Pennsylvania and some from Illinois. Spencer Farms in Noblesville does not have u-pick apples, but usually buys produce from Garwood Orchards in LaPorte, Ind. Mike Garwood, one of the owners of the orchard, said about 20 to 25 percent of their crop survived the frost, though he is still shipping in apples from Colorado or Idaho. The Indiana State Dept. of Agriculture said it does not yet have numbers on apple orchard production for this year. Garwood made an estimated guess that Indiana usually produces two million bushels a year, but this year may only have produced less than 100,000 bushels. John Shambora, who works at Spencer Farms, says prices have risen for them. The same is true for Gatewood Vegetable Farm and Greenhouses, where prices have increased by a possible 60 percent, while some varieties have almost doubled in price. At Stuckey Farm, Pierce believes prices have increased by an estimated 60 percent in comparison to last year’s price. In fact, anything related to apples has gone up, including the Stuckey cider.

Farm for the past 15 years, said this year was very rare. She said in the past Stuckey Farm may have brought in difference varieties of apples that were unavailable to them, but she had never experienced a loss like this year. Yet in spite of the frost in April, the Stuckey Farm still is making their famed apple cider from imported apples. It will be sold in stores such as Gatewood’s in Noblesville, Lilly Orchard in Indianapolis and the IGA in Sheridan, Lebanon and Thorntown. “It still tastes the same,” said Pierce. “We are just borrowing apples from other orchards.” Gatewood Vegetable Farm and Greenhouses has been buying The Stuckey Farm apple cider for more than 30 years. Bruce Gatewood, the son of owners Bill and Nancy, is now the manager of the business. He remembers, as a child, visiting The Stuckey Farm with his father to pick up their cider order. Gatewood Vegetable Farm buys the apples sold in-store from an orchard in northern Indiana. This year Gatewood ordered apples as early as April in order to get a part in the apple crop. “We knew it was going to be short since it was
warm too long [in February],” Gatewood said. Many businesses that sell apples also sell pumpkins. The pumpkins at Stuckey Farm are doing marvelously well this year. The Stuckey Farm has 10 acres of u-pick pumpkins that are “looking great” and could possibly be the best Pierce has seen in eight years. Unfortunately for Gatewood Vegetable Farm the pumpkin weigh-in, which they have hosted for the past 16 years, will not be hosted at their store this year. It has been moved to northern Indiana. The local orchards and produce stores faced incredible loss this year in the apple crop, but the festivities will continue throughout the fall. Stuckey Farm will continue selling pumpkins and apples as well as hosting events throughout October: hayrides, readings of James Whitcomb Riley poetry and Flashlight Night in their corn maze. Gatewood Vegetable Farm will also be selling apples, pumpkins and Stuckey cider. Spencer Farms will have hayrides through their pumpkin patch. Their homemade fudge, Garwood apples and other goodies will be available as well.

NIGHT & DAY
Dining The Children’s Museum Guild’s Haunted House
Don't spoil fun with 'poison' After a long day or night of cheering, singing and enjoying delicious food at a tailgate party, the typical fan just wants to get home, relax and unwind. This can be the perfect ending to a great day; unfortunately, this is also the time when those nasty little symptoms from improper care of food occur. These folks are experiencing symptoms of food poisoning from their tailgate parties. The most common cause of symptoms like cramps, diarrhea, and nausea is Salmonella bacteria. There can also be much more severe problems from E.Coli bacteria, which can be killed by cooking meat to a temperature of 160 degrees. To do that, you need a food thermometer. Salmonella, although generally less severe in symptoms, has many more places where it is found. It can be in red meats like E.Coli but is also found in poultry, eggs, unprocessed milk and even water. Here are some simple rules to avoid food poisoning: • Buy only USDA inspected meats with current freshness dates. • Wash hands, utensils, and cutting boards that touch or will touch food. Have a jug of water and anti-bacterial soap handy at the tailgate with plenty of paper towels. • Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Perishable foods should be kept below 40 degrees. Don’t let them sit out too long.
Pack-up leftovers quickly. Tailgater’s favorite dessert for game day is the bar because one can pick them up with their hand and eat them. No fork or plate is required. Low Fat Apricot bars
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 swerving of egg beaters, 1/2 cup apricot nectar (or OJ), 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce, 2 tablespoons cooking oil, 1/2 cup finely snipped dried apricots. Icing: 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 to 3 teaspoons of apricot nectar (or OJ) stirred together Preparation: In a medium mixing bowl stir together dry ingredients. In a smaller bowl stir together egg, apricot nectar, applesauce, and oil until combined. Add these wet ingredients to the dry and stir only until mixed. Now add the apricots and mix. Spread this mixture in an ungreased 11x7x1 ½ baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes until a dry toothpick, inserted in the middle of the dish will come out clean. Cool the dish on a wire rack. Drizzle on the icing and cut into 24 bars.

Consider laser skin rejuvenation to combat damaged epidermis By Dr. Jodi Harper and Dr. Angela Corea As we age, the effects of our sun-loving-days begin to take their toll on our skin. Lines, wrinkles, dark spots and uneven texture are all signs of sun damage. How can we help reverse these signs? Laser skin rejuvenation is a great option to consider. The laser is used to remove layers of damaged skin so that new, smoother, more vibrant, youthful looking skin is revealed. Other lasers have been used for this problem for years, but there were many risks. Patients often had to endure post-procedure redness and wound healing for months. Other lasers can ablate the skin but are not much more effective than a chemical peel. Using cutting-edge technology, Cutera® created and perfected the first FDA-cleared laser using the 2790 wavelength for the treatment of wrinkles, known as the “PEARL”. The PEARL is the true balance of aggressive, effective ablation along with safety. The epidermis is treated with pulses of light eliminating the damaged skin, while simultaneously leaving a natural protective dressing. Collagen is stimulated in the deeper layers of the skin for long lasting results. This laser allows experienced technicians to
safely control the depth of the laser according to patient concerns. Wrinkles, fine lines, uneven texture, skin laxity, sun spots, large pores, and even scarring can all be addressed. Patients should expect about three to four days of ‘social’ downtime where they will experience a mild sunburned appearance without the pain. Discomfort due to a heat sensation can occur during the short procedure, but dissipates within 20-30min afterwards. It usually takes two treatments to get a dramatic effect, but great results can be seen with just one treatment. Benefits of laser skin resurfacing: • Take years off your face in less than one week with lasting results • Eliminate or diminish sunspots, wrinkles, large pores • Acne and surgical scarring can also be improved • Short procedure with minimal “downtime” • Minimal discomfort and easy post-procedure care

Insurance
Knowing when to increase your liability limits Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Gregg S. from Carmel: I tell my clients (I’m a lawyer) all the time about the benefits of increased limits and umbrella policies. I know it’s not costly, but could you approach the benefits from an insurance perspective? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Thanks for your note Willis. When we talk about increasing limits, we’re talking about liability limits. Liability limits have become a little bit more confusing because of all the options that are available. Right off the bat, I’m going to take that choice down to a yes or no question. Should you increase your liability limits from the base limits? There are reasons to say “yes” and reasons to say “no.” Let’s start with why you might choose to not increase your limits. You probably already know the reason to not increase your limits. It’s money. If you’re choosing between putting food on the table and increasing your insurance limits, it’s a pretty easy choice. However, increasing your limits is much less expensive then you may realize. Doubling your limits may only cost a couple of dollars per month after bundling your policies and selecting the proper payment plan. The main reason to say “yes” to increasing your liability limits is also pretty easy. It’s a great way to protect your assets, your family and yourself. Most states have mandated what the minimum liability limits will be, but those minimum limits are rarely adequate.
A couple of things add to the reasons to make an increase to your liability limits. The first one is inflation. Medical costs have been sky rocketing for the last twenty years and show no signs of slowing. These trends pretty much guarantee that it’s going to be costly if you hurt someone with your vehicle or someone gets hurt on your property. Increasing your limits is a great strategy to prevent these costs from coming out of your personal assets. One other thing to keep in mind is your level of risk. Increasing your level of risk only adds to the list of reasons you should increase your coverage limits. Keep these questions and others like them in mind when you think about your personal risks: • Do you drive car pools? • Do you have multiple drivers in your household? • Do you have a pool / trampoline / tree house / pond? • Do you have a boat? • Do you entertain guests often? There are many things to think about and plenty of reasons to consider increasing your liability limits. As always, we recommend talking this over with your independent insurance agent to find the correct solutions for YOU.

Grammar Guy
An end for prepositions Commentary by Jordan Fischer
I received an e-mail recently from reader Eric Edwards, 65, of Fishers, with a list of his grammar pet peeves. I’m happy to say, my name wasn’t on his list. What did make the cut, however, was one of the more persistent grammar misconceptions out there: ending sentences with a preposition. This “rule” is a sort of grammar urban legend, like saying Bloody Mary three times in front of the mirror or the Pigman (What, you didn’t have a Pigman where you grew up?). It’s so prevalent, in fact, that even I have let myself be corrected on it from time to time, which, of course, breaks the first rule of being “that annoying grammar guy:” You’re never wrong. Rule No. 2 is, if you are wrong, never admit it. So here’s the big bombshell of the week: Go ahead and end your sentence with a preposition. It’s totally fine. And since I’m just some guy, here’s the Oxford English Dictionary to back me up: “There’s no necessity to ban prepositions
from the end of sentences. Ending a sentence with a preposition is a perfectly natural part of the structure of modern English” (from OxfordDictionaries.com). As the nice people at the Oxford Dictionary point out, the length sometimes required to avoid ending sentences with a preposition is going to turn you into Yoda. After all, it wasn’t “On Will Go My Heart” that took home an Academy Award for making audiences tear up during “Titanic,” and umpires don’t yell “Out he is!” That would just be silly. So, the next time someone tries to correct you for ending a sentence with a preposition, just ask them where they learned that at. Then laugh at your irony and wit while they try to puzzle out what’s so funny. And watch out for the Pigman.

Spirituality
When religion is truly taxing Commentary by Bob Walters A recent Associated Press feature story described Germany’s nine percent tax on religion. This isn’t a tax on the church; it’s a tax “for” the church, a government collection plate forced upon the officially Christian faithful. Germans desiring a church wedding, funeral, absolution, communion, or plain old membership, must pay to pray. Astounded, I went online and dug for more background. The tax has a complex litany of definitions, inclusions and exceptions. But bottom line, in the name of the German government, Christians must pay the tax or disavow church membership. While religious education is required in German schools (Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and Ethics), religious neutrality, not tolerance, is strictly enforced. A female Muslim teacher, for example, doesn’t have to pay the tax but may not wear a head scarf in school. Christian church members must pay the tax, but Christian symbols are similarly verboten in schools. Germany’s “church” tax is codified, evidently, so as not to include Jews, Muslims, Jehovah’s Witnesses and certain other faiths. Obviously, a Synagogue or a Mosque or a Kingdom Hall is not a “Church,” but the point here isn’t the nature of church but the nature of tax, and by extension, the reaction of man. What would
Feeling a little queasy about your nest-egg?
chase people out of a church quicker than a government tax on membership? Perhaps the grandest irony is that in Germany, the home of Martin Luther and the 16th century Protestant Reformation and split with Rome, Roman Catholics today receive more government funds than the Protestants. And to think Dietrick Bonhoeffer died a martyr under Hitler in WWII defending the Lutheran capital-C Church. The German tax is said to be rooted in preChristian Teutonic tribal tradition – which sounds a whole lot like the Levitical tithes of the Old Testament – and exists to “help” the mainline Church. God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7), but man’s joy and generosity reside in his heart, not a tax code. Whither America? Everyone I know has an opinion on whether America is or should or must or must not be a “Christian” nation. We should be a nation of free individuals loving God and others. I also think that it is very, very apparent that freedom in Jesus Christ provides the essential, animating moral foundation for democracy. A global missions team recently told our Sunday school class that Europe has the lowest

ARCHITECTURE HITS THE RUNWAYS! Why we love it: The architectural, structural details in this season’s hottest styles are all figure boosters. Whether it's a structured wrap, collar, or corseted waistline, it helps to shape our bodies, highlighting what we love (and concealing what we don't). Architectural cuts also make a cool modern silhouette that's both feminine and strong.
IN THE TRENCHES This season step out in an incredible trench coat! For an updated style, look for ones with leather accents, rich colors, patent finishes, and quilted textures for a new spin on this classic silhouette. Quick tip: trench coats come in all shapes and sizes, so make sure you find the right fit for your body. Above-the-knee or mid-thigh styles work best on petite sizes, and always make sure to try on a trench coat with an appropriate layering element, like a mediumsize sweater, to ensure the right fit.
How to wear it: Look for the details that highlight your figure’s best —a wrapped skirt will flaunt your legs, and a sculptural neckline will draw the eye upward to show off a great upper body. We love the look of a clean, architectural-cut sheath with bare legs and a great pair of heels.
LEATHER FOR FALL! Why we love it: We love that leather has become a mainstay in our closets, from jackets to pants, now dresses, this trend is here to stay. Fall's iterations are a mix of both cool-girl minis and more feminine silhouettes. How to wear it: Channel a bold take on the trend in a red-hued leather dress and black pumps for a night out, or go for a cozier, street-styled version with sheer black tights, chunky ankle boots, and a cashmere cardigan to contrast the slick leather texture.

IntroducingThe All-New 2013
LEXUS ES SErIES Starts conversations. And then leaves you speechless.
Outdoor rooms: crafting a living space Commentary by Randy Sorrell Rarely is an outdoor living space as immediately livable as this one. Most require the benefits of time to soften the stark reality of new. Sure, new looks fantastic! But it can be a little harsh with the brightness of freshly installed patio stone and the striking contrast of young plants surrounded by fresh mulch. This project, however, did not require the constraint of time. Perhaps it was the eastern exposure that hastened the glare and the overall jazzy design. Certainly the warmth of travertine sourced from Turkey coupled with the synthetic Azek decking had a serious impact on the instantaneous feel. Both have earthy undertones and distinct luxury textures that marry well together. The homeowner especially appreciates the generous upper landing as it spills onto the lower patio at a 45 degree angle for improved traffic flow. Very dramatic! Travertine and Azek are a few of our preferred materials to work with for precisely this reason. They age incredibly well, thrive in our mid-west harsh environment and will likely endure our lifetime while remaining relevant from a design perspective. I’m not confident that standard, concrete brick pavers and most other decking materials will offer that luxury. Outdoor rooms Outdoor fire features, seat walls and pergolas contribute to the immediacy of any project and forward the outdoor room sensation that many
homeowners are hungry to establish. The stone structures benefited from the rich chocolate color of the clay paver ribbon inserted into the face of each, which was repeated into an upscale patio edge around the travertine body. For convenience, a gas starter was installed over crisp black lava rock. New is wonderful. It’s fresh, stylish and is full of excitement. Nothing, however, exceeds the benefit of a little time, seasoned with memories of grilling, impromptu gatherings and laughter.

Something old is something new … again Commentary by David Decker As fun as it is, staying on top of trends can also be an overwhelming pastime. Between the hip eateries to tempt your palette and the latest fashion plates to hit your hips, it’s hardly easy to not be intrigued to try something new and refreshing. Changing the look and feel of your existing home is no exception. Given the kitchen is often the most lived in space of the home, it can also be where we tire of the look the fastest … and spend the most money remodeling. The good news—due to advances in refacing technologies, many homeowners are exploring the idea of replacing the existing doors and drawers by using materials that can offer the look and feel of an entire new space for a fraction of the cost. Reface and rejuvenate The meaning of “re-facing” can carry with it several definitions. Often it can be mistakenly interchanged with ”re-finishing” but that is not the most ideal use of the term. In fact, it is more like a cabinet facelift to be descriptive in the cosmetic days we live in. So what are the steps that a homeowner should prepare for? 1. All doors and drawer headers are removed and replaced while exposed frames and ends are resurfaced with a

real hardwood veneer. 2. Any portions of the cabinetry that will be veneered are sanded and cleaned to assure secure adhesion. 3. The new pre-finished veneer sheet is fitted to precise measurements and is then carefully applied for lasting adhesion. The veneered edges are trimmed flush with the cabinet components and sanded as needed. Often these edges are covered with special moldings. 4. The “new” doors and drawers are installed and drawer headers/boxes are replaced as needed. The final step in the process is mounting the molding and trim for a completely new and updated look to your kitchen and/or bath space. DIY Don’t As much as a do-it-yourself cabinet refacing job can lend itselfresults, it can also quickly become a costly nightmare if you are
left without the proper skills or equipment. A cabinet contractor will use the correct tools to remove or install cabinet doors, drawer fronts and replace hardware. Safety should always be at the forefront of any kitchen renovation. If your kitchen is older, you may have lead based painted cabinets that have dust particles that should be properly mitigated. Hiring a contractor with solid skill and familiarity with the materials and task at hand will most likely yield the best result not only for appearances but also for your checkbook by avoiding costly mistakes caused by lack of experience.
