City unveils Fishers 2040 Comprehensive Plan

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Work by a collection of assembled task forces and committees over recent months, plus input from residents, business and complanning munity leaders, has resulted in a first draft of the Fishers 2040 Comprehensive Plan — a plan designed to ensure the city’s financial sustainability throughout the next 20-plus years.

“It’s been a long road to get here,” said Deputy Mayor Leah McGrath, who presented the plan to the Fishers City Council for first reading at its March 21 meeting. “Over the last few years, the staff has been working to just prepare our community for this undertaking. We've had about 1,300 people take surveys and last August the mayor set up our steering committee and four task force committees who, combined, met for more than 600 hours last fall.”

The project’s steering committee included Mayor Scott Fadness, McGrath, city councilor Pete Peterson, Plan Commission President Warren Harling, former Conner Prairie CEO Ellen Rosenthal and Memory Ventures CEO Anderson Schoenrock.

The four assembled task forces were focused on issues surrounding land use, residential standards, transportation and parks and open spaces.

“Last December, we had a presentation where all of those committee members came together to share their recommendations,” McGrath said. “Since that time, our staff has been working diligently to pull all that together into a draft document… This begins really the next phase of public input for us. You

can find this plan at Fishers2040.com. Probably the easiest place to go is the 'Process' tab, and you can click on the ‘draft plan’ link.”

Next, the draft will go before the Plan Commission at its April 12 meeting.

“Then we have two community meetings planned for open houses where we're going to be listening and sharing more of this draft plan and hearing input from the community,” McGrath said.

The first of those open house community meetings will be from 6 to 8 p.m. April 21 at

Conner Prairie, while the second will be from 6 to 8 p.m. May 5 at Brooks School Elementary.

The city will have information on Fishers 2040 available at Movies in the Park nights next month and at the farmer’s market.

“People I think are generally excited to hear that we have a plan, that we're planning for especially the transition from moving from a growing community to a stable community by 2040,” she added.

Employees honored for tenure with city

At the February Fishers City Council meetmilestones ing, Mayor Scott Fadness recognized a trio of individuals who have reached employment tenure milestones with the city.

“We often talk about police chief (George) Kehl as the longest tenured employee here at the city, but there are a few people knocking on the door right behind him,” Fadness said.

Public Works director Eric Pethtel and assistant police chief and chief-to-be Mitch Thompson were honored for 25 years of service with the city while facilities manager Kyle Marks has reached 30 years of working for Fishers.

Marks has worked for the City of Fishers in several different capacities in his 30 years, including as the superintendent of buildings and now handles logistics of the Public Works Dept. as facilities manager. “He helped Fishers through that tremendous growth spurt we had,” Fadness said. “Kyle is a one-of-a-kind guy, just a really great individual and was actually working at Conner Prairie as a blacksmith before coming to the city.”

On Pethtel’s first day of work with the Public Works Dept., he reported to Marks. As director of the department, he’s responsible for overseeing winter operations, parks and grounds maintenance, storm water utility, public right of way maintenance and water quality. “He has completely transformed and redefined what public works means to the City of Fishers and his employees are often the unsung heroes of what goes on on a daily basis here,” Fadness said.

Thompson’s 25th year with the city will be his first as police chief following Kehl’s retirement this September. “In the time that Mitch has been here, he's excelled through the ranks of the police department quickly because of his skill sets and his integrity,” Fadness said.

“Mitch has led right beside chief Kehl for a number of years now in the assistant police chief role and basically runs the day-to-day operations of the police department from an operational perspective.”

Game Day scores big for HSE schools news@currentinfishers.com A sold-out crowd at the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation’s fourth annual Game Day fundraiser fundraiser event brought in a record total for the district’s schools.

This year’s signature fundraising event for the HSE Schools Foundation was Feb. 26 at Conner Prairie. Food, drinks, a well-stocked silent auction and the opportunity to meet Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman and HSEHS alum Joe Rietz were among the evening’s entertainment.

The event nearly doubled its fundraising efforts from one year ago.

“We expect to net just over $81,000 after expenses, which we believe will allow funding for about 85 percent of the teacher grants that were submitted,” school board member and liaison to the foundation Howard Stevenson said. “Those grants will be announced and the recipients recognized at the March 23 board meeting.”

The grants will be awarded to district faculty who applied to the foundation for funding to bring new, interesting and unique educational programs and ideas into classrooms.

Divorce - What to Expect: Making a Workable Custodial and Parenting Time Arrangement Child Custody is actually two separate concepts; legal and physical custody of the children have different definitions and applications. Legal custody refers to the authority to make decisions on ongoing medical, educational, and religious issues surrounding the children. Joint legal custody allows for both parents to have input into these significant decisions and prohibits one parent from making these decisions without the consultation from the other. In cases where, the parents are able to communicate and cooperate with one another on such matters, joint legal custody is a typical agreement or order. However, if the parents are unable to discuss these discussions in a reasonable and consistent manner, the Court may issue an order awarding one parent this authority, referred to as “sole” legal custody. The legal custody order does not automatically affect the physical custody/parenting time order.

Physical custody refers to the primary residence of the children, subject to the parenting time of the other parent, which can be as much as an fifty percent or what is referred to a “shared” physical custody.

So long as a parenting time schedule is in the best interest of the children, parents may create a unique schedule which satisfies the needs of their children and each other and allows for both structure and flexibility. If the parties are unable to agree, the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provides a minimum parenting time schedule that gradually increases from the time of a child’s birth up until the child is three (3) years of age whereby parenting time occurs every other weekend, alternating holidays, with extended periods of parenting time during summer vacation. While the Guidelines represent a minimum amount of reasonable parenting time to be afforded to the non-custodial parent, many Indiana Courts commonly award an involved, non-custodial parent parenting time in excess of the schedule provided in the Guidelines, so again, an agreement that takes into account all facets of the parents’ schedules and the children’s needs is preferable.

If you and your child’s parent do not have regular or typical work schedules, creating a schedule tailored to meet your specific needs will likely better serve your family than would the “default” schedule under the Guidelines. Should parents request court intervention to determine a parenting time schedule, parties would be well advised to keep in mind that judges will only be as knowledgeable about the details of your daily schedules based upon the evidence presented at trial as time permits.

Therefore, there are a number of benefits to reaching an out of court agreement, including but not limited to, keeping work-related child care expenses low and allowing for added flexibility for holiday traditions or family vacations. When parties are able to communicate and cooperate on these matters it is a win-win for all involved.

We recognize that such is not always possible. In the event you are unable to reach an agreement and you must litigate the issue, Indiana Courts consider a number of factors in determining an appropriate custodial and parenting time arrangement. Factors considered in determining what may be in the child’s best interest with respect to physical custody include: which parent has served as the primary caregiver; the child’s age and sex; the wishes of the child and the parties; the child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, and others; the child’s adjustment to their home, school, and community, the mental and physical health of all involved; among other various considerations.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

‘Trump Sisters’ mean business

You might have heard about Diamond and Silk, former Democrats that have wholeheartedly jumped aboard the “Trump Train.” Theirs is no gimmicky play, either. The African-American sisters hailing from Fayetteville, N.C., have a series of online videos for your viewing consumption and consideration (the link for one such production, this one a Fox interview from last week, is https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=_PT3cQ0rTx4). When you sense the zeal with which they speak, it’s not a fabrication, no puff, no comedy. They are as passionate about getting off “the Democrat Plantation” as they are standing tall – and maybe a tad loud - for the Republican billionaire candidate for president. They take shots at the Clintons, much of it rooted in the past.

There is, to say the least, an element of fun in their delivery, but it’s also highly thought provoking. On www.diamondandsilkinc.com, you will find a Ditch and Switch page, which states, among other things, this: “DITCH the Democrat Party and SWITCH to Republican Party to vote for Mr. Donald J. Trump in the primaries. Look below to see if your state is a Closed or Open primary voting state.” They have become bona fide political activists, and, yes, they are gut-level serious in their delivery. Listen to their message and see if, to you, it is as rooted in good sense as it is to us. Granted, they are imploring folks to get out and vote for their candidate, but voting for anyone is better than not voting at all. As we’ve stated previously, voting is a right and a responsibility, and it needs to be accorded the seriousness it deserves … yes, even if Diamond and Silk make you chuckle. The message is clear.

Welcome to the club

Commentary by Terry Anker

In his 1959 memoir, “Groucho and Me,” famed comedian and commentator Groucho Marx defended his desire to resign from a prominent Hollywood social club: Please accept my resignation. I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.

Entertainment industry reporters first attributed the quote to Marx in a rift with the famed Friar’s Club. Then for decades, Marx and his children both confirmed and denied how and to whom Marx directed his ire (perhaps to protect the guilty as much as the innocent).

We humans don’t like to be excluded from the club. It doesn’t really matter what the club does or what benefits it might offer – if there is a door, and we are on the wrong side of it our collective blood pressure rises. Airports, vineyards, swimming pools and men’s razor companies have all exploited our need to be “in” when designing their marketing effort. A shaving “club” must be better than

buying a razor the old way… right? There must be some special benefit – it is a “club” after all. And, airlines have their own strategy. For $50 or so per flight, per day, we can access the storied halls of wealth and power. We can enter the sleek gated doors to find our own place in sanctum sanctorum.

While enduring a five-hour layover in sunny Houston airport, a travel partner granted me passage behind the velvet rope. Hosanna! What did I find? Very little. Stale coffee, low quality liquor, dried-out cheese cubes and heavy crowds. The only real advantage may have been to enjoy the longing eyes of the plebeian masses as I exited back to the airport hall to find a working bathroom.

Maybe Marx was right. Once you peek behind the gilded door, the magic is gone.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In South Carolina, it is considered an offense to get a tattoo.

When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.

– William Arthur Ward

My newly-minted 12-year-old and I were texting back and forth a few days ago about the homework she humor supposedly slid under my door after I’d gone to bed. I, of course, failed to see it (or even step on it) and therefore, was of absolutely no help to her. Eventually she typed, “It’s Gucci. I’ll just ask my teacher.” Confused at her word choice and somewhat miffed that she included not one, but two, crying emoji’s, I randomly asked a couple of students who were just walking into my classroom, “Have you ever heard the phrase, ‘It’s Gucci?’” They surprised me with ear-to-ear grins, like “Wow! Our old fart of a teacher might finally be catching on!”

Turns out, “It’s Gucci” means everything is fine, although I’m sure my daughter did not merely wish to inform me she no longer needed assistance. I sensed a definite if-you-were-a-stay-at-home-mom-youwouldn’t-ignore-me vibe.

Anyhoo, the following morning, having slept terribly, I announced to a group of juniors, “I am really riding the struggle bus today!” I had learned this euphemism last year in the halls and so sought to not only relay my fatigue but also connect on their level.

“Um, Mrs. Wilson? We don’t really say that anymore.” Argh! There goes my street cred. I simply can’t get it right. When I don’t understand I seem stupid, and on the rare occasion when I do, I still seem stupid. It’s a catch-22, like the swearing crisis I experienced in 2003. If I dropped the F-bomb in front of my 3-year-old after an unfortunate potty-training incident, I risked receiving a call from Sister Mary Jo at PRE. If I didn’t, if I somehow miraculously refrained from releasing the cussword Kraken as I Silkwooded the entire bathroom, I’d go insane from bottled-up frustration.

The point is, that despite having kids at home and teaching high schoolers, I can no longer keep up with today’s youth speak. Alas, I must accept and use the language I know and love, and not worry about impressing teenagers. If they think I’m weird, so what? It’s Gucci.

Peace out.

Referendum deserves ‘yes’ vote Commentary by CJ McClanahan I am a pragmatist.

I’m too lazy to get caught up in emotional conversations regarding politics, pop culture or local gossip. I readers’ views rarely engage in controversial issues unless I fully understand both sides and feel passionate about the topic.

In other words, I’m boring and probably the guy at your party who’s trying to guide the conversation to classic TV shows or great ’80s hip-hop.

However, I’ve decided it’s time to chime in on an extremely important issue for anyone who lives in Hamilton Co. On May 3, we will have the opportunity to vote on an HSE Schools referendum that is proposing a property tax of 22.75 cents per $100 assessed home value. So, if you own a home worth $250,000 you’d pay an extra $165 more per year in property taxes.

Let me start by saying that I’ve been wired since birth to oppose a tax increase of any kind. So, when I first heard about this referendum, I was extremely skeptical.

But the more I learned, the more I realized how important a “yes” vote is to all of the residents of HSE school district.

As a parent, the benefits are clear. A “yes” vote will provide $17 million annually for the next seven years and all of these funds will go directly to impact our kids. These funds will allow us to keep the best teachers (who are already in the lower third for teacher salaries compared to area school districts), and add 43 new teacher positions to help reduce class sizes.

Better teachers and smaller class sizes are significant benefits to parents in the HSE district. But they aren’t the only ones who benefit from a “yes” vote. All homeowners will enjoy the greater appreciation as a direct result of having an exceptional school system.

Join me in making HSE the best district in the state by voting yes on May 3.

Finding more, feeling complete Commentary by Pastor Mike Colaw One of the most interesting pieces of theistic faith is simply its answer to the heart’s desire for more. religion Many who explore faith actually do so quite logically.

It isn’t blind, but rather the natural step that is driven by a hunger. What do you do when you achieve the job you wanted? Are you now complete? How about when you finish the degree you thought you wanted, or marry the person of your dreams, or lose the weight you thought would make you look good? Everyone begins by answering “yes” until they realize they are not yet whole or that the object of their affection lacks the ability to satisfy this mysterious hunger that still resides.

Malcom Muggeridge, the famous British journalist, says it well: “It is difficult to resist the conclusion that 20th century man has abolished himself. Tired of the struggle to be himself he has created boredom out of his own influence and vulnerability out of his own strength. He himself blows the trumpet that brings the walls of his own cities crashing down until at last having educating himself into imbecility, having drugged and polluted himself into stupefaction

he keels over a weary, battered, old brontosaurus and becomes extinct.”

Ancient King Solomon says it well: “I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.”

It’s not that another degree, marriage, or raise doesn’t bring momentary happiness — absolutely they do. Yet it isn’t just a quick pleasure that we desire; it’s to feel complete.

Most who try and succeed in their earthly endeavors begin to realize that along with their success is this ever-growing awareness that it isn’t fully working.

What if there is more?

Jesus Christ takes this to another level. It’s not a story of man trying to create purpose.

It’s perfect purpose coming to man.

TOTS to present late Melif work

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In 1975, Leonard Melif wrote “Pornostars At Home” to take a different look at the adult film industry. This year, director William Wilkison convinced Theatre on the Square, at 627 Massachutheater setts Ave., Indianapolis, to allow him to direct the play.

“The interesting thing about the play is it takes a different look at that industry,” he said. “It’s stripped away the ideas that people have about folks in that industry and it puts a very human face and element on the subject matter.”

The play follows four adult film stars invited to one of their coworkers 35th birthday party. The play takes place in an apartment and the audience learns the different hopes and dreams about each character and what they want out of life.

“One of the cool things about it is there’s no nudity, but there is adult subject matter obviously,” Wilkison said. “It is something that’s a part of their lives and the play gets into some detail about what they like about the industry, but also some things that are very tragic about the industry.”

The play has a PG-13 rating due to adult themes and language.

Although Melif wrote “Pornostars At Home” in 1975, some of the elements and issues discussed in the play are still apparent in today’s time.

Wilkison said the play touches on feminism and other hot issues, such as one character who stars in gay adult films but claims he is heterosexual.

“All of these subjects are just as relevant today as they were then,” he said. “I think it’s looking at where we came from and where

The best broccoli parmesan soup Commentary by Ceci Martinez This is a mouth-watering recipe! This flavorful and vibrant Broccoli Parmesan Soup is a bowl of pure, creamy comfort!

Notes: A pinch of baking soda is a good trick for cooking broccoli; it raises the pH softening vegetable fiber so simmering time is much shorter.

Serves: 6 Ingredients: 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup), 4 medium stalks celery, finely diced (about 1 cup), 2 medium cloves garlic, minced, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 cups milk, 2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock, plus more if necessary, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 12 cups broccoli florets, stems, and stalks cut into 1-inch pieces, 3 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper, croutons Directions: Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a soup pot over medium-high heat.

Add onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring, until vegetables are softened but not browned, about 5 minutes (reduce heat if butter begins to brown). Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until all the flour is absorbed, about 30 seconds. Stirring constantly, slowly pour in the milk, followed

by the stock. Stir in baking soda and broccoli florets and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until florets are completely tender, about 20 minutes. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender, add the Parmesan, and blend, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Add additional stock or water if necessary to thin to the desired consistency. Whisk in lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve soup with croutons.

PRESENTING SPONSOR

Founded in 2004 by saxophonist Joshua Redman in San Francisco, the music SFJAZZ Collective has honored a series of jazz giants with new arrangements of their compositions, preserved on CD and shared with national audiences through touring.

The pattern was broken in 2011 and 2012, with recordings and a tour focusing on Stevie Wonder. The artistic direction of the group thus branched out into pop music, showing that there was a legitimate jazz approach to such songs as “Sir Duke” and “Superstition.”

The octet brought that show to the Center for the Performing Arts, proving its point definitively.

A further departure from a purist concentration brings the band back to the Palladium April 8, the night after a concert at Purdue’s Loeb Playhouse. This time, the ensemble features its arrangements of songs by Gary native Michael Jackson. Without the Jackson vocals and dance production, the venture may seem like a stretch, but the Collective touts the musical validity of — and their personal love for — songs like “Working Day and Night” and “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough.”

The octet will perform at the Palladium on April 8. (Submitted photo by Jay Blakesberga)

Members appearing here are Matt Penman, bass; Obed Calvaire, drums; David Sanchez, tenor sax; Miguel Zenon, alto sax; Avishai Cohen, trumpet; Robin Eubanks, trombone; Warren Wolf; vibraphone, and Edward Simon, piano.

Two weeks out of every year, the octet gathers at the San Francisco Jazz Center to write and rehearse new arrangements. Then it goes on tour, from which a CD results.

St.Vincent provides for AEDs

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com A donation of nearly $16,000 from St.Vincent Fishers to the Fishers Fire Dept. will help save lives in the event of a donation cardiac emergency involving visitors to the city’s most popular parks.

Representatives from the hospital presented a check for $15,844 to Fire Chief Steve Orusa and Parks & Recreation Director Tony Elliott last month, allowing for the departments to purchase 11 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to be stationed within city parks.

“It’s estimated that somewhere between 400,000 and 500,000 people across the United States will die of sudden cardiac death each year,” St.Vincent Fishers cardiologist Dr. Chris Hollon said. “The more we can get these defibrillators out there and train people to use them, the higher the likelihood we’ll be able to resuscitate people and improve long-term survival.”

“In no small way, our partnership with St.Vincent has made a difference in our community and a difference in the level of service

Home sales down 3.5 percent Commentary by Jim Litten Pended home sales are gaining momentum in Central Indiana. Although February 2016’s data shows pended sales real estate were down 3.5 percent compared to this time last year, January 2016 sales had been down 9.5 percent. Available inventory continues to tighten across the region, while average sales prices grew modestly by 2.7 percent, now at $171,932.

Hamilton Co. saw decreases in all categories – average sales price, available inventory and pended sales. In February, the average sales price inched down 0.3 percent to $268,678, listings declined by four houses, and pended sales dipped 16 percent compared to this time last year.

• In Fishers/Geist, the average year-to-date home sale price declined 3.2 percent compared to this time last year, decreasing to $247,193.

• Inventory moved at a slightly faster pace in Fishers/Geist in February 2016. Overall,

homes sold in 79 days – eight fewer days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Fishers/Geist had fewer options available to them. Last month, 464 homes were available for sale – eight fewer homes compared to February 2015.

• Pended home sales have slipped in Fishers/ Geist. In February 2016, 139 homes sold – a decline of 32 homes compared to February 2015.

• Of the pended home sales in Fishers/Geist last month, nine were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 32 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 40 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 57 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced below $99,999.

The spring buying season will heat up the market, but the low level of inventory will keep demand in check.

Blueprint for Improvement: Brighter kitchen, bigger dining Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal was to create a brighter, larger space in which the homeowners could enjoy cooking, dining, and entertaining.

1. The existing perimeter cabinets were painted white, and the hood was replaced, updating the look.

2. Removing the large bulkhead above the island allowed a more open feel and the installation of pendant lights.

3. The new dining room addition mirrors an extended bay on the other side of the home seamlessly.

4. The large, custom windows bring so much light into the space, which extends into the adjacent sitting area.

5. New white, custom built-in shelving and an update to the stone fireplace create a cozy, inviting feel.

6. The space was completed with accent cove lighting, and custom glass cabinet inserts.

Before Background info: These homeowners recently relocated to this 21-year-old home in the Queens Manor neighborhood from their California home.

They knew they wanted to do some updating, while still matching the classic structure and wood trim throughout the home.

Before problems:

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may e-mail him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before and after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

The existing space appeared dark and bulky, with a lack of space for a decent dining table.

For a combined kitchen/dining/living space, it was definitely too small. It was not a pleasant space to spend time in or entertain guests.

Great Sphinx and Pyramid of Khafra. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Mysteries of the sphinx Commentary by Don Knebel Many things about the Great Sphinx on Egypt’s Giza Plateau remain mysterious. The truth of a popular story about its travel missing nose is not among them.

The Great Sphinx, having the head of a man and the body of a lion, is the world’s largest monolithic statue. Carved in the limestone in the quarry from which the stones of the Great Pyramids were mined, the body is 241 feet long and the top of the head is 66 feet above the floor. For thousands of years, the body was covered with desert sand, creating the image of a disembodied head sometimes mistaken for an Egyptian goddess.

Despite its size, no Egyptian records mention the Great Sphinx and archaeologists are not sure when or why it was created. One popular theory is that the Sphinx honors Pharaoh Khafra, who ruled Egypt in about 2500 B.C. and whose pyramid, the second largest in Egypt, is nearby. Supporters of this theory believe the once-painted head is that of

Khafra. Others claim the Sphinx was sculpted before Khafra, who discovered it buried in the sand and ordered his pyramid built alongside it. In 1932, American physic Edgar Cayce reported a vision revealing the Great Sphinx was built in 10,000 B.C. by survivors from Atlantis.

That same year Cayce predicted that we would learn in 1958 that the Great Pyramids were built by workers somehow able to float their enormous stones in the air.

A 15th century Arab historian reported that the nose of the Sphinx was pried off by a Sufi Muslim outraged that locals were praying to the Great Sphinx for a successful harvest. But Giza guides have long claimed that cannon balls fired by Napoleon’s soldiers shattered the nose.

Sketches made before the birth of Napoleon show Sphinx without his nose. Case closed.

Quick fix for tired feet – A quick way to perk up tired feet is with an ice massage.

Fill the bottom of a basin, or a corner of the tub, with one layer of ice cubes. Sit down and rub your feet over the ice cubes. Continue massaging until your feet feel better or until the ice melts. Then dry them and apply some lotion.

Shaving cream for carpet stains – Shaving cream, the plain white, foamy kind, can be used to treat a variety of carpet stains. Spray the shaving cream onto a spot and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Use a soft scrub brush and gently rub the cream into the stain. Dampen a cloth with vinegar and water and blot the stain. Continue blotting until all the cream is picked up and the extra water is absorbed.
