The Future of Pain Care is Here!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mary Flora (Kokomo, IN)

(Medicare Accepted)

301 E Carmel Drive, Suite D‐100, Carmel, IN 46032; Tel: 317‐641‐5183

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

My name is Vicki Hinkle. I have struggled with foot pain for many, many years. I have had treatment and surgery from several very experienced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause life style changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shopping with friends. I had accepted with sadness; the reality those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonderful results in less than a week after my treatment by Dr. Srinivasan. It has now been several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, accomplished weight loss and enjoy outdoor activities once again. I encourage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back too!

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

It is our position that the people of Hamilton County must continue to support organizations such as the Entrepreneurship Advancement Center (EAC). EAC’s sole goal is to promote local entrepreneurship and provide the resources to increase the success rate of neophyte entrepreneurs.

The EAC offers a variety of programs for those looking to create their own business. First, there is the wildly popular student business competition, which has helped produce four student-run businesses since 2009. There is also the Community Business Plan Competition, which was created in 2010 and gives the winner consulting advice from local business leaders. Other programs include networking events as well as educational happenings.

We believe institutions like the EAC are what make Hamilton County one of the most successful counties in the United States. The EAC’s ability to spark the entrepreneurial interest in high school students and provide resources and consultation from experienced business leaders for all is a major asset that everyone should take advantage of.

For more information on the Entrepreneurship Advancement Center, go to http://goentrepreneurs.org.

Pooch perks

It is our position that dogs – man’s best friends – are deserving of a few perks in life, such as the opportunity to exercise and socialize in the safe confounds of a fenced-in dog park. Commonly referred to as “bark parks,” these parks provide ample space for dogs to run freely without a leash in the company of fellow canine companions. Some parks even provide ponds for swimming and retrieving. Pierson Bark Park in Fishers is one such park. There is also a dog park in Westfield, and the idea is being explored in Carmel.

Safeguards such as requiring the pet’s vaccination records and adhering to a strict set of behavioral and clean-up rules help ensure a safe environment for play. Paid memberships also help offset the cost of operation.

Bark parks are especially beneficial for dogs with little land to run or dogs that are just plain lonely. They also serve as great bonding grounds for pet owners. Most humans are happier and healthier when they exercise regularly and have a large social circle. The same holds true for dogs. They supply us with so much joy and unconditional love; isn’t it only right to return the favor?

FROM THE BACKSHOP Thank you! Center resumes news flow Where we criticize, we also look for opportunities to commend, and this is one such example. Today, we’d like to offer a sincere note of appreciation to the leadership of The Center for the Performing Arts for resuming the flow of news releases to Current. That type of cooperation tells us that the greater Hamilton County community is important to the center, and we believe that is as it should be. So again, thanks, folks. Elsewhere in this issue and online, you will find The Palladium’s summer schedule.

There are some American musical institutions, Emmy Lou Harris to name one, which will make this a memorable summer at The Palladium, the center’s gem. What appears to be an aggressive pursuit of touring acts is to be applauded. As we always do, we urge you to call the Center’s box office at 843.3800 or visit tickets@thecenterfortheperformingarts. org. to pack the house. Turn on the lights and turn up the volume!

••• And so Gov. Mitch Daniels, who we believed to be darned near a shoo-in for the Republican nomination for the 2012 presidential election, has opted out of running, allowing his family’s feelings to play a determining role in the decision. We hoped

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg against this, but since blood is thicker than water – or votes and unyielding scrutiny – we begrudgingly understand his answer.

Still, we believed (and still do) that Our Man Mitch would have seriously ratcheted up the discourse along the way to Election Day. We believed (and still do) that Daniels would have had something of a forceful, changing effect on President Barack Obama – especially on the fiscal conservancy front. Look at how Daniels made Indiana financially whole again in less than two terms. We’re not suggesting he could accomplish that with our national finances, but he would have made a massive dent in the problem. We’re all poorer for his decision, but that’s life.

The cat is the world … the cake is still a lie COMMENTARY

By Jordan Fischer Depending on a Friday decision by the Hamilton Southeastern School Board, this week’s cover story will either come to parents with incoming kindergartners a year premature, or at exactly the right moment. We bet on the latter.

The important thing to do is to check online at www.currentinfishers.com, or the school corporation’s Web site, and find out whether the board voted to offer full-day kindergarten beginning in Fall 2011. If so, you’ve only got until Monday, June 6, to enroll your student in the full-day kindergarten lottery.

••• It’s only early in the week as I’m writing this column, but it’s already panning out to be a reactionary one.

Unsurprisingly, the world didn’t end this week – although from the responses I’ve heard and read from Republicans after Mitch Daniels’ announcement that he wouldn’t seek the presidency, you might think it had. The sense has been a collective folding around the table after everyone’s pocket ace dropped out. (I was going to make a basketball metaphor, but just couldn’t 11081 INFINITI Carmel Current_5_31

quite put it together).

Back at fauxpocalypse headquarters, Family Radio’s Harold Camping responded to a national outcry for an apology by saying Judgment Day actually did happen as he predicted. We just didn’t notice it, apparently.

The really amazing thing about it is that donations continue pouring in to his organization, even after his second air-ball on end-times predictions (there it is).

Armageddon seems like a pretty black-andwhite event to me, unless this whole thing is just some massive-scale Schrödinger’s Cat experiment that went over my head. But that would mean all of Camping’s followers who spent their life savings putting up billboards about the Rapture were skilled quantum physicists … and if all of our greatest scientific minds are running around turning their vans into repent-mobiles, well, that really would be the end of the world.

Is divorce sometimes the best thing for your kids?

COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson Do you ever think about what would happen if you and your spouse divorced? It’s been on my mind lately, not because my husband and I are having problems, but because we’ve been hanging out recently with either friends who are divorced or those who may be heading in that direction. I think it’s only natural to wonder how you would handle serious marital issues if they arose and what decisions you would make.

For example, Doo asked me the other day what I would do if he ever had an affair. I’d like to think I could forgive him and give our marriage a second chance, because everyone deserves another shot, right? But honestly, I just don’t know how I would feel about it. “What if I cheated on you on several different occasions?

What then?” Easy. I’d kick him out on his buttooski. How can you ever trust someone after repeated indiscretions? And how can you have a marriage if there is no trust?

Of course, we have children. Four of them, and they are all at the age that they would be acutely aware if Daddy moved out. So I asked Doo, “If I screwed up, but you were never able to forgive me, would you still want to stay together for the kids?” This opened a whole ‘nother can of worms. Because whose happiness should come first? Ours? Theirs? Is it better to tough it out and stay in a miserable relationship so that your kids have a sense of family and se-

curity, even if that sense is based on a lie?

Or would it be healthier to part ways amicably and hope to find love again with someone else? After all, children are incredibly perceptive.

I once knew an 8-year old who was so stressed out by her parents’ constant fighting that she began pulling out her eyelashes. (They eventually got themselves and her into therapy, and everyone is much better now.)

Because whose happiness should come first? Ours?

Theirs? Is it better to tough it out and stay in a miserable relationship so that your kids have a sense of family and security, even if that sense is based on a lie?

Even when you think you are being discreet when you argue, kids can always tell when something’s up. So would it even be possible to fool your children into thinking everything was OK? Maybe, but I can’t imagine what that would cost you emotionally. And eventually, they will find out. What then?

Have you seen the movie “Couples Retreat”?

One of the couples is just waiting until their teenage daughter goes off to college so that they can divorce. They literally spent 10 years of their lives hating each other but pretending they didn’t so that their daughter would grow up with a positive view of marriage. I’m honestly not sure I could be that unselfish.

After all, sometimes marriages aren’t meant to last, for whatever reason. You were married too young, you have a major shift in ideologies, etc.

And I guess, sometimes, you just fall out of love.

Even if two people commit to counseling and serious work on their marriage, I truly believe some people are better off apart. At least then your kids could have the chance of being in two loving environments rather than one cold or fake one.

I don’t know. It’s so easy for me to sit here and hypothesize, because it’s not my marriage on the brink. And it’s even easier to judge other people. I hope to God I never have to make a decision like that for real. Come to think of it, I’d better go find Doo and tell him how much I love him and need him. And that I’ll kill him if he ever put me in that situation. Peace out.

Fire Chief Lay resigns, Orusa named interim chief

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers Deputy Chief of Operations Steven Orusa was named interim fire chief by the Fishers Town Council May 20 following Fire Chief Kenneth Lay’s resignation the same day.

Orusa is a 25-year veteran who has served as deputy chief of the fire department for the last year. Previously he served as assistant fire chief of the City of Beach Park, Ill. “We are very lucky to have such a strong leader ready to step up as the new interim fire chief,” said Town Council President Scott Faultless in a press release.

Faultless pointed to Orusa’s involvement in the creation of several new programs, including a post-incident analysis program, and an incident management team – some of whom will be serving on the team managing Super Bowl 2012.

Orusa steps into the position held by Lay since November 2008. Town officials wouldn’t comment on whether a May 19 town council meeting scheduled 48 hours before to discuss a “job performance evaluation of individual employees” was related to Lay’s departure, but insisted it wasn’t due to any disciplinary action.

“It was a personal decision,” said Maura Leon-Barber, director of communications for the Town of Fishers.

The May 19 meeting was ultimately canceled.

In a press release, the town council said it will look to permanently fill the fire chief position at its regular May 31 meeting. Town and fire department officials pointed to Orusa as the likely permanent replacement for Lay. Lay is the second town official to resign this year, following the March 10 resignation of former Town Manager Gary Huff.

County invests in destination development Current in Fishers Innkeepers tax dollars captured from out-ofarea visitors will be invested into several tourism projects throughout the county under a tourism bond initiative recently approved by the Hamilton County Council.

The $3.45 million bond will be financed by a 5 percent tax paid by visitors for up to 20 years and is expected to generate $31 million in local tax revenues over the life of the projects.

“This proposal is similar to single-use capital projects in larger cities, which often are supported by lodging taxes,” said bureau Executive Director Brenda Myers in a release. “This is Hamilton County’s investment in destination development.”

The bond will support projects throughout the county, including sports, historic preservation, downtown redevelopment, the arts and a local park.

The Hamilton County CVB will manage many of the projects as part of its contract with the Hamilton County Visitor and Convention Commission, the governmentally appointed agency that oversees tourism operations in the county.

Supported projects were vetted through the Destination: Hamilton County Grant Review Committee in January. The Bureau will work with local municipalities to refine the remaining projects.

The Hamilton County Grant Review Committee approved the project concepts in January, with details to be determined. Projects may include up to $1 million in support for the Grand Park sports complex in Westfield; up to $1 million to support development of the Nickel Plate Arts Trail, including the purchase of two buildings in downtown Noblesville to house the

6 | May 31, 2011

NPAT headquarters and an arts and cultural center; up to $500,000 for an investment in Fishers to be determined later; up to $500,000 for enhancements to Hamilton County’s Strawtown Koteewi Park; and, additional support for signage and enhancements in Carmel.

The innkeepers tax, which is collected by the Hamilton County Treasurer and appropriated to the Hamilton County Visitor and Convention Commission, generates approximately $2.5 million annually, which must be spent on tourism development initiatives and marketing according to state statute.

••• The Hamilton County Visitor and Convention Commission contracts with the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau to lead local tourism marketing and development.

It is hoped that repayment of the bond can be shortened to 10 years rather than the scheduled 20, Myers said, through careful planning. Currently, the bond payments will represent about 10 percent of the total lodging tax collection for the year, or approximately $240,000.

“Innkeepers tax revenue must be spent on tourism development. We want to re-invest these dedicated dollars back into our communities, making them great places to live and to visit, said Myers. “Tourism development helps create jobs and investments which return taxes.

We feel confident our research shows this is a win-win opportunity for the county.”

According to economic impact studies done

by Certec Inc., tourism already contributes $16.8 million to the local tax base annually.

Tourism contributes $365 million in total to the local economy, directly supporting more than 4,000 jobs and $82 million in wages.

Fire academy offers hands-on experience for Fishers teens

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers For Fishers teens interested in a career in firefighting, the Fishers Fire Department’s Teen Fire Academy could be the first step toward a seat on a fire engine.

The 2011 academy, the department’s second year offering the program, will run from July 25-29. The class is open to students who are at least 14 years old and have completed 8th grade, but have not yet graduated high school at the time of the class.

“The idea is to take a group of teens who are possibly interested in becoming firefighters, and give them a week of classes to see what we do,” said Deputy Fire Marshal Ron Lipps.

Students will get hands-on experience with fire ladders and hoses, breathing out of air canisters, and the opportunity to don a full set of firefighting equipment.

Lipps said the department hopes the academy will feed into the Explorers program, which provides further training for 15-20-year-olds who are eventually able to assist on ride-alongs with firefighters.

It also can’t hurt for anyone who might want to come back and apply as a firefighter

Current in Fishers

for the department, said Chad Abel, division chief of training.

“Quite frankly, like every other industry, we’re always looking for the next group to take our place,” Abel said. “We can help them find a career path that, when they come back to us, they’ll really be able to jump in and make us better.

The 2011 Teen Fire Academy will meet daily from 8 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. There is no cost for attendance. Applications will be accepted until June 24, or until the program is filled. More information and applications are available online at www.fishers.in.us/ fireexplorers.

Organizations bring employers and veterans together COMMENTARY

By Jerold Ramos As we approach Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, our country’s collective consciousness turns to our brave military. As a U.S. Navy veteran and talent acquisition professional, I’m proud to say I am committed to pursuing gainful employment of our country’s military. I believe it is vitally important for all employers to think about the plight of military unemployment every day of the year, not just during patriotic holidays.

Veterans and reservists bring highly desirable traits to the corporate workplace. Leadership, dedication, responsiveness and work ethic are the rule, not the exception, with military personnel. These individuals can also quickly adapt to changing situations, and are therefore able to learn a new culture or new tasks quickly. And what they don’t know, they are eager to learn – making them receptive and ready hires in work environments that value ongoing learning and training. Veterans represent diversity and collaborative teamwork in action, having served with people from diverse economic, ethnic and geographic backgrounds as well as race, religion and gender. Even under dire stress, veterans complete assignments in a timely manner as they have labored under restrictive schedules and resources on the battlefields and at military installations where they’ve served.

Despite all of these marketable traits, the un-

This program connects reserve and National Guard members, along with veterans, to civilian employers. The initiative, which is now military wide, has helped more than 1,000 employers hire eligible veterans, reserve and guard members.

• Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, www.esgr.org, is a Department of Defense agency that seeks to promote a culture in which all American employers support and value the military service of their employees. This organization strives to recognize outstanding support, increase awareness of the law and resolve conflicts through mediation. ESGR’s role is to ensure the transition from civilian employee to active military duty and then back to civilian life is as smooth as possible.

• The Wounded Warrior Project, www.woundedwarriorproject.org, is a non-profit organization whose mission is to “honor and empower wounded warriors” of the United States Armed Forces. The WWP works to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, to help severely injured service members aid and assist each other and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs.

• HireVeterans.com services thousands of job seekers from the military community – active service members, veterans, DOD civilians, spouses, family members and others. Recognized by industry experts as a leader, they offer employers access to resumes and job postings so that they can reach the military community. HireVeterans.com is a leader in online veteran and military recruiting and is also expanding in virtually every category of the veteran and military e-recruiting space.

• Military.com offers free membership to connect service members, military families and veterans to all the benefits of the service – government benefits, scholarships, discounts, lifelong friends, mentors, great stories of military life or mission and much more. Military.com believes the benefits earned in the service should be easier to access. They are passionate about helping members make the most of military throughout life.

employment rate for Gulf War-era II veterans is 11.5 percent, according to the latest findings from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What can employers do to ensure they have access to highcaliber talent with military experience? And, how can veterans identify viable opportunities for employment? Many employers and veterans are not aware of the wide variety of non-profit organizations available that match veterans with companies seeking to fill positions.

I invite employers nationwide to become true partners with these organizations to ensure their companies are maximizing their ability to recruit from this extremely qualified talent pool, and supporting those who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedom. Veterans can also take advantage of the services these organizations offer.

These military organizations exist to help put our heroes to work, and they are mutually beneficial to employers and veterans. When heroes put these resources to work for them, the result is career opportunities and ongoing support.

When employers engage in building a relationship with these resources, the result is a highly talented candidate pool. The men and women who have dedicated themselves to serving our country make an incredible contribution in the workplace. More Americans at work is good for our country. More military personnel at work is good for our veterans, and for businesses in all industries.

Hamilton Southeastern school board ponders starting full-day kindergarten program after governor announces FDK grants

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers The Hamilton Southeastern School Board was thrown an unexpected curveball April 15 when Governor Mitch Daniels announced additional funds in the state budget would be set aside for full-day kindergarten grants.

With less than two months before fall 2011 kindergarten enrollment, the board faced a difficult decision: Take a swing at launching a brand new full-day kindergarten program, and potentially get a financial black eye in the process, or delay the program for a year to watch other districts sort out the kinks.

As of press time, the board was still deliberating the decision, with a meeting scheduled Friday morning for a final vote. Once made available, the board’s decision will be posted online at www. currentinfishers.com, or through the school corporation’s website, http://www.hse.k12.in.us/ADM/.

Board members deliberated the multi-million dollar decision at the May 23 meeting, with several questions still hanging in the air: Why offer full-day kindergarten at all?

“We found that overwhelmingly students in full-time kindergarten programs that focused on academic instruction made significant growth compared to students in half-day programs,” said Shawn Greiner, principal at Thorpe Creek Elementary.

Full-day programs may also offset future special education costs by providing more time for reading instruction and social interaction, Greiner said, and it would allow students to enter the HSE system a year earlier.

“Many of our students begin their career with us at 1st grade, because their parents like them to have that full-day program,” Greiner said.

But school board member Karen Harmer questioned the value of full-day kindergarten relative to other programs.

“We know that kids perform better across the board if they have foreign language earlier,” Harmer said. “Why are we not looking at that?”

“My other concern is that all of the man hours going into this are being taken away from other programs we already have,” she added.

How will full-day kindergarten be funded?

Greiner and HSE Chief Financial Officer Mike Reuter said the estimated new grant amount from the state per full-day kindergarten student is in the $900-$1,050 range. Using a “conservative” estimate of $900, according to Reuter, the district calculated an additional fee of $1,700 per semester to be paid by parents.

Harmer expressed concerns that the additional projected funds might not always be available in the future.

“Programs like PrimeTime were a grant that went away,” Harmer said. “And we gradually raised class sizes at the elementary because of it.”

Superintendent Dr. Brian Smith explained to the board that unlike other programs, the state allows school corporations to augment fees for full-day kindergarten.

“What makes this unique is, if the state pulled out the funding, we could make up the money in what we charge,” Smith said.

Still, as board member Daren Sink pointed Smith out, there is no margin for fiscal error.

“We have got to make 150 percent sure that we’ve got that

www.youarecurrent.com

number right,” Sink said. “We can’t be off by a penny a student, we’re already stretched so tight.”

What will this do to school enrollment?

In short: Numbers would rise -- potentially significantly.

School officials estimated the district could support 600 fullday kindergarten students across the 12 elementaries, although two schools, Fishers and Cumberland Road Elementaries, are already full to the point that new students would likely have to eat lunch in their classrooms for lack of cafeteria space. Those 600 students would come partially from students who regularly would have enrolled in existing half-day programs, and partially from students who otherwise would have attended private fullday programs. All 600 will be selected through a lottery system.

The district could also need to roll out as many as four portable classrooms to temporarily house students while a planned new elementary is constructed. Implementation of full-day kindergarten would likely push the beginning of that construction forward to this summer, according to Smith.

“Actually, building rates are pretty low right now, and so are bond rates, so it’s not a terrible time to build a new building,” Smith said. “And you’re going to need it anyway. I’m not sure it’s a super rush to build it this summer rather than next summer.”

With staff levels low due to budget concerns, and several building projects already underway or planned, including at Fishers Junior High and a proposed third collegiate high school, board president Katrina Hockemeyer worried about how many projects the district could take on at once.

“There’s a concern about how much strain we can put on our skeletal administration staff,” Hockemeyer said.

What you need to know Ultimately, HSE will likely implement some form of full-day kindergarten, whether it be this year or next. If the board decides to move on the project this year, here are the important dates for parents: • May 31 – June 6: Online registration for lottery takes place • June 3 – June 6: Private

Current in Fishers

school students can enroll at buildings and enter lottery.

• June 8: Lottery will take place with all 12 elementary educators.

• June 10: AM/PM/FDK postcards are mailed to kindergarten families.

• June 17: Non-refundable $190 deposit is due to hold student’s FDK spot.

• July 18 – August 12: Openings in program filled through FDK waiting list.

GRAMMAR GURU

By Brandie BOhney Last week, I discussed the definition of plagiarism and the importance of respecting others’ intellectual property. This week, I’d like to share a few tips for avoiding plagiarism.

First, I’d like to start by saying that in any academic endeavor, the student needs to be very familiar with the style of documentation his or her instructors wish to be used. There are many different style manuals for documentation, and sometimes those manuals have within them different ways of documenting sources (in-text documentation versus endnotes versus footnotes, for example). Whatever type of writing you are doing, be certain you know which style of documentation from which style manual you should be using.

Next, let’s tackle the difference between quoting and paraphrasing. Quoting is, of course, when writers directly copy the words used by their sources. Quotations are set off by quotation marks (funny how that works, eh?).

Paraphrasing is the act of putting the source’s ideas into one’s own words. Paraphrases do not require quotation marks, but they do require documentation. The general rule of thumb for quoting is any time you are using three words of consequence (in other words, three or more words you would not have constructed on your own), quotation marks are necessary.

Some people will use the three-words rule and

misuse it to attempt to paraphrase, changing every third word or so. Understand this: Paraphrasing is using your own words to express someone else’s thoughts. It’s not rearranging someone else’s idea every-third-word at a time. Just changing every third word and documenting the sentence(s) as a paraphrase is misuse of sources.

In order to effectively paraphrase, there’s a handy little trick that works most of the time.

Read the source, close the source, take a minute to think about it, and then write a few notes in your own words. Then reopen the source and be sure that you have, in fact, used your own words to express the idea. Easy peasy.

Another method for avoiding plagiarism is to keep excellent notes and records of your research. If you know exactly where your information is from and which phrases, clauses, sentences and paragraphs are quotations and which are paraphrases, you’ll have a much lower chance of misusing your sources.

Finally, remember that words and ideas are intellectual property. Just as it’s not acceptable to break into houses and steal flat-screen TVs, it’s not OK to use someone else’s writing and thoughts as if they were your own.

Make the most of your money at the Civic Theatre COMMENTARY

By Cheri Dick A frequent topic of conversation in the theater world is the high cost of tickets to shows on Broadway. Instead of paying Broadway prices, the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre invites you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show … right here in your own hometown.

For the price of one good seat to a show at the Majestic on West 44th Street in New York City, you can subscribe to a whole season at Civic Theatre, which provides an artistic product that can compete with the finest theatres in the country. Think of it as a way to make your next “staycation” feel more like a real vacation.

When you become a subscriber, you will see five high quality, professionally produced and directed shows and have plenty of reserve left for Civic’s personal concierge to make a preshow dinner reservation for you at any of the great restaurants in the Carmel area, such as the Renaissance Inn. This personal concierge service is the first of many ways Civic is saying “thank you” to all of its loyal subscribers.

Of course, there are all the usual perks like ticket exchange privileges, priority seating, discounts on additional tickets and advance notices and invitations to special events. But in addi-

12 | May 31, 2011

tion, as a subscriber, you will also receive some unexpected pleasures, such as guaranteed free covered parking for every show and a valuable 10 percent discount on fees for family members (children or adults) who enroll in Jr. Civic’s education program.

Civic’s new home at the Center for the Performing Arts gives us the opportunity to significantly expand our educational programming by offering more classes, workshops, camps and performing opportunities to children and adults between the ages of 2 to 99 than ever before.

And now, for the first time in our theater’s 97year history, we are offering to all of our subscribers a savings of 10 percent on enrollment fees!

To subscribe to Civic’s exciting first season at the Tarkington, call our subscriber line at 923-4597. As you will soon see, you don’t have to travel all the way to New York City to experience five nights of great entertainment.

At the age of 24, when Brahms wrote his First Piano Concerto, the weight of history was upon his shoulders. A few years earlier Schumann declared him to be the next musical genius, destined to change music history. Shortly after that declaration, Brahms heard Beethoven’s Ninth for the first time and came away from it ready to write the next great symphony. But Brahms struggled and that symphony took decades to finish. Brahms instead completed his First Piano Concerto, which shows the influence of Beethoven’s Ninth.

Do you leak a little when you sneeze?

Sure, it may seem silly, but it’s not uncommon. One out of four women experience symptoms of urinary incontinence, which is sometimes due to a pelvic floor disorder. Losing control to a pelvic floor disorder can be embarrassing, but thankfully, you can do something about it.

The symptoms of pelvic floor disorders can be fairly uncomfortable. Luckily, there’s some good news. Most pelvic floor disorder symptoms are treatable. And your physician or nurse practitioner can be your best resource for the most effective treatments.

Your pelvis contains your reproductive organs, bladder, ureters (tubes that propel urine from the kidneys to the bladder) and rectum. Pelvic floor disorders occur when the muscles inside the pelvis are weakened and can’t support the pelvic organs properly. The stress of childbirth can weaken these muscles, resulting in a variety of disorders, including pelvic organ prolapse — a condition in which the uterus, bladder or rectum can fall into the vagina.

These conditions can also cause incontinence, constipation or trouble urinating. Risk increases with age, as menopause results in a loss in estrogen production, which can cause the pelvic muscles to weaken.

“If your physician isn’t asking questions about pelvic floor disorder symptoms, speak up to let him or her know what has been going on,” says Julie Schnieders, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast. “Numerous options for treatment are available, including medication, physical therapy and surgery. The right diagnosis is very important; we offer urodynamic testing, a simple office procedure to properly diagnose your condition and recommend the correct treatment. We also offer Total Control™ pelvic floor fitness exercise for strengthening the pelvic floor.”

Causes of pelvic floor disorders include: • Chronic coughing • Heavy lifting • Menopause • Family history of similar conditions • Obesity • Pregnancy • Previous pelvic surgery • Radiation treatments • Smoking • Multiple vaginal deliveries

14 | May 31, 2011

Some risk factors for pelvic floor disorders are out of your control. But you can reduce your risk by maintaining a healthy weight and quitting smoking.

If you’re experiencing incontinence, recording the occurrences in a voiding diary can help your physician determine the best treatment options for you.

For more information about pelvic floor disorders or for a free consult call 317-338-4-HER, or visit 3384HER.com. And don’t forget to find us on Facebook at Facebook.com/3384HER.

» Fake tweeters are bots - As Twitter grows like wildfire, spam is becoming an increasing problem for the service, and spam purveyors are using fake or disguised accounts, as well as increasingly sophisticated computer programs called “bots,” to try to evade Twitter’s terms of service. For example, whenever a hot new tech product like the iPad 2 is released, spammers track mentions of the product and follow or retweet the accounts. A spam-bot is designed to flood the stream with the same or similar content, possibly over many, many accounts, in an effort to deluge the system. The fact that the accounts are fake only makes matters worse. In this case, the various phony accounts appear to be pumping hundreds, if not thousands of links, automatically, to the same site every day.

What is a QR code, and how do you use and create one?

TECHNOLOGY

By Gary Hubbard What are those strange patterned square boxes tyou’re starting to see everywhere, and what do they do?

Those strange square boxes are called QR (Quick Response) codes, and they have actually been around for quite some time. They were created in 1994 by a Japanese subsidiary of Toyota as a two-dimensional barcode for tracking parts during the manufacturing process.

Popular for years in various Asian countries, they are starting to gain traction in the United States primarily as a marketing tool.

The primary focus of QR codes at the moment is to entice mobile users to scan them to connect to a Web address, offer promotional discounts, download an MP3 file, dial a telephone number or even launch your e-mail client with a sender address.

You will start seeing them a lot more often in magazines as a way to further explain an article or to get more information on a product being advertised.

Marketers like this new trend because the demographics of tech-savvy camera-phone users tend to be very desirable for most advertisers, and you can track exactly how many people scanned the QR code.

In order to read QR codes, your smartphone or camera phone must have a barcode reader.

All major smartphone platforms have numerous

readers, and many “feature phones” with cameras can download readers.

A comprehensive list of QR code readers by platform and phone type is located at http:// goo.gl/RtpKB.

Marketers like this new trend because the demographics of tech-savvy camera-phone users tend to be very desirable for most advertisers...

Once you have the reader on your mobile device, you simply open the program and point the camera at the QR code placing it within the target area displayed on your screen.

Once it focuses on the QR code, it will read the instructions embedded within the random patterns and ask you if you would like to execute the instructions (go to a Web site, call a number, etc.)

There are numerous uses for QR codes, especially for businesses. One of the challenges of today’s digital communication landscape is there are too many to list on a business card (phone, fax, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.)

By placing a QR code on your business card with the suggestion to “Connect with me,” you can list all your contact resources on a Web page where there is plenty of room (or set up a free profile at https://about.me with all your links).

QR codes can be printed on coffee cups,

Current in Fishers

T-shirts, places in the front window of your business, in your advertising, your phone book ads, your Web site or just about anywhere on or off-line that you want to engage with your customers.

There are many ways to create QR codes for free (if you already use Google’s URL shortener at http://goo.gl, each link you create comes with an associated QR code if you click on Details at the end) but my favorite resource is at http://zxing.appspot.com/generator .

This powerful interface allows you to create QR codes for: • Calendar events • Contact information • E-mail addresses • Geo locations • Phone numbers • SMS (text nessaging) • General text • URLs (any Web address) • Wifi network access Whether you are a consumer or a business owner, you should seriously consider getting up to speed on using and creating these really handy digital barcodes.

-Consumer Reports

The truth behind ‘Lifestyle Lifts’ operation that is decades old and is practiced by most plastic surgeons. This ‘mini-facelift’ operation has now cloned many spinoffs including the Quicklift, Swiftlift and Weekend Lift to name just a few. Often touted as being innovative and original by the advertising surgeon, the names suggest that getting a fresh, younger look is really easy...or at least is quick for the surgeon to do.

Like many things that are heavily marketed, the Lifestyle Lift has its share of proponents and critics. An internet search will quickly bare that out. As an operation, however, limited types of facelifts do have a valuable role in facial rejuvenation. Not every patient needs or wants a fuller or more complete type of facelift.

Facelifting is not, nor should be, an operation that is performed the same on everyone. ‘Mini-facelifts’ are best reserved for patients with earlier signs of aging, not advanced problems such as turkey necks. A catchy name does not necessarily make the procedure novel or unique. Many plastic surgeons offer similar type facelift procedures that just don’t have a branded name, but that doesn’t make them any less effective or useful.

COMMENTARY

By Barry Eppley The development of a droopy neck and saggy jowls is loved by few...and is the bane of many women and some older men. Much can be found that promises to improve it from creams, exercises, laser and light therapies, and even the occasional clothespin approach.

While surgery is the only effective option for that loose neck and jowl skin, everyone would like to have as little surgery as possible and avoid hearing that dreaded word...facelift. While the fears surrounding a facelift are largely unfounded, people would certainly like to avoid that consideration if possible. This facelift phobia has led to the emergence of the concept of the branded selling of facelift surgery.

The most well-known current example is that of the Lifestyle Lift.

Through their national magazine and television ads, this is a franchise approach to getting a facelift…or some version of it. Interestingly, nowhere in their advertising does the company suggest it is actual surgery. Somehow the concepts of surgery and lifestyle are incongruous. I have seen numerous patients who have visited their facilities and were surprised to learn that it was actually an operation that requires some recovery and a temporary change in their lifestyle.

In reality, the Lifestyle Lift is an

It’s never too late for ‘clean’ eating FITNESS

By April Conard It is the end of May, and you are kicking yourself for the healthy eating plan you did not begin. Never fear! It‘s not too late to start, and with all this rain, it looks like it will be a while until you will be poolside anyway.

Have you ever heard the term eating “clean”? Clean eating is not a diet; it’s a lifestyle. The commitment to this way of eating is full time. It’s not about denying yourself or going hungry. It is about eating with thought and planning.

There is one simple rule. Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser said it best: “If it doesn’t come from the earth, and if it doesn’t have a mother, don’t eat it.” (Vegetarians, disregard last part) Not to say that all fruit, vegetables and meat are created equal.

Try to go organic whenever possible. I know it can be pricey, but I believe you are worth it, don’t you? If you must pick and choose, buy organic when you consume the skin or outer layer. When grocery shopping, think outside of the box; this means shop only in the outer part of the store, where the food is not processed.

The most important feature of clean eating is what it isn’t.

Clean eating is not a diet you follow for a few agonizing months,

denying yourself certain foods. Have you ever wondered why fad diets worked while you were on them? It’s simple mathematics really. If you usually eat proteins, and fats and carbohydrates (as you should), and you remove one of those food groups, you’ll lose weight, but only while you’re on the plan. Once you reintroduce these banished foods … BAM! You gain weight all over again, and usually a great deal more.

With all the fresh fruits and vegetables at your disposal right now, it has never been a better time to start.

Support local famers by shopping at the farmers market on Saturday mornings. Make it a family affair and go to one of the “you pick” farms and learn together the importance of eating fresh and clean.

Don’t be surprised at how “clean” your body feels after a few weeks of cutting out the junk! Your energy will soar, pounds will be shed, and your taste buds will learn once again how REAL food tastes!

Maserati Spyder and Coupe COMMENTARY

By Shawn Miller Well I have finally caved, the editors have wanted me to feature a basically used car for months now and I keep dragging cars out of the 80’s to highlight. That’s probably because we really can’t gauge how a car will age and which ones will be collectible shortly after they are produced-it usually takes some time for them to “mature” so to speak. But this one is a no-brainer.

As soon as these came out I was anxiously waiting for the day when they would fall into the $20,000 range, and here we are. That’s right boys, you can now buy a world class Ferrariengined sports car with all the modern bells and whistles for the price of a Camry.

The Spyder was first unveiled to the public at the 2001 Frankfurt Auto Show with the Coupé following at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show. Sales in the U.S. began in 2002. The Spyder heralded Maserati’s return to the North American market after an 11 year hiatus, and was selected

by Forbes as the Best GT for 2001. Both were designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of ItalDesign, who also designed the Maserati Ghibli. Both models utilize the shared platform based Ferrari/ Maserati 4244cc engine (luckily chain driven) which develops 390 horsepower at 7000 RPM. The manual transmission is a six-speed with foot

operated clutch or Cambiocorsa (Italian, meaning “race change”), an electrohydraulic manual transmission that uses an F1-type gearbox with shift paddles behind the steering wheel.

More of a Gentleman’s touring car than its Cavalino’ed brethren, these cars are quite comfortable, if not plush. The interior is beautifully finished in keeping with Maserati tradition.

While the exterior is a tad benign, it doesn’t attract as much attention from law enforcement, always a plus in an exotic car.

Prices will remain stable and move north as time progresses. You could literally drive this car for years and sell it for the same thing you paid for it - a “free car” if you will.

Current in Fishers The mystery shrouding Google’s development of the driverless car slipped a bit earlier this month. Google, it was reported, is quietly lobbying the state of Nevada for legislation that would make it the first state where cars could be legally operated on public roads without someone’s hand on the steering wheel.

Does Google (GOOG) plan to extend its digital mastery into the automotive industry as a supplier, partner, or original equipment manufacturer? Could Google Motors become the next GM? It’s more likely than you’d think.

By investigating driverless cars, Google is exploring an area that has tantalized automotive engineers for decades. Autonomous cars would reduce highway congestion, cut down on accidents, maximize fuel economy, and free up time for drivers to perform other tasks. They are widely believed to be the way of the future.

Self-driving cars could be a once-in-a-generation breakthrough.

Google’s automated driver system has the potential to become the operating standard for every car in the world -- the Windows of motor vehicles. Why not? Google has the capability, the ambition, and the resources. With $36 billion in cash in the bank at last count, and more piling up every day, it is hard to imagine a better investment -- both for Google and the future of personal transportation.

Asking for and receiving forgiveness RELATIONSHIPS

By Bill Jeschke Most of us had the kind of upbringing where we learned to offer an apology when we did something wrong. When we inadvertently hurt someone feelings, or forget to do something we promised, we know we have to say I’m sorry.

Although saying I’m sorry is a good first step, it is not the end of our journey to receiving forgiveness. Too often, when I apologize, I have the attitude that once I do my job of saying I’m sorry, it is your turn to do your job (i.e., forgive me and pretend like nothing ever happened). The problem is it just doesn’t work that way.

Saying I’m sorry does go some way toward making up for the wrong I did. But without more, why should the other person think I will not just do the same dumb, insensitive or hurtful thing again? Or something worse? Without some indication from me that I am willing to change my behavior, how could they?

That’s where the step of actually asking for forgiveness is so useful. It shows I don’t simply think my responsibility is over and it is time for them to get over it. Asking the other person to forgive puts them in control. It shows that I care about them. That I realize they may or may not be willing (or able) to forgive me right now, but that I’m committed.

Even better, I can go further and ask what

they might need to see or hear from me in order to forgive me. In essence I would be saying, I know that I hurt you. I may not even know everything about that hurt, but I am willing to take some action to make it right.

Further, asking for forgiveness has the benefit of letting you know how the other person is feeling about what you did. When I pursue my normal course of saying I’m sorry and immediately slinking away, I usually assume that the person is still enraged and wants nothing to do with me. When I ask for forgiveness, I pretty much need to wait around until they have responded, one way or another. So at least I’ll know the truth.

If I take the extra step of asking for forgiveness, who knows, I may even receive it.

What is your love language?

RELATIONSHIPS

By Kristen Boice Have you ever felt unloved by your partner?

Perhaps you are simply speaking two different love languages.

There are several great relationship books.

One I find extremely helpful when working with couple’s is “The Five Love Languages” by Dr. Gary Chapman. According to Chapman, the way we feel loved is different for everyone.

This is how you feel the most loved and how our love tanks are filled. We have a primary and a secondary love language. He broke it down into five following basic love languages: Acts of service: These are doing something for your partner like emptying the dishwasher, doing laundry, cleaning the house, etc.

Physical touch: This can be expressing your love by holding hands, a back rub or a touch on the arm. The type of touch varies based on the individual.

Words of affirmation: This is when you notice and communicate something you like or appreciation about your partner. For instance, if you notice that your partner vacuumed the living room, you might say, “Thank you so much for taking the time to vacuum the living room. I really appreciate it.”

Gifts: This is achieved by giving your mate a “special something.” It can be as simple as a rose out of the garden, or a card from your local card shop. This is an “act of love” to your mate

Current in Fishers

by taking the time to pick up and find the right gift, which shows to your mate your love.

Quality time: Some people feel loved by spending time together, whether they are walking, talking, eating or working out in the yard.

It’s about being together without distractions like the television, computer or cell phone.

In order to understand your own love language, ask yourself these questions: 1. How do I give and express love?

2. What do I complain about the most?

3. What do I ask for most often?

Speaking in your partner’s love language probably won’t be natural for you or how you feel loved. Typically, we tend to give our own love language. For example, if your love language is physical touch, you will offer a lot of affection.

However, that may not be your partner’s. Once couples figure out their primary love language, I have seen relationships transform. It seems so simple, yet it can be extremely powerful.

Once you become aware of your love language and your partner’s, begin to “speak” their language, and see what happens. Check in with your partner and ask, “What can I do to help fill up your love tank?”

The king of Big Macs HUMOR

By Dick Wolfsie I try to never tire my readers by repeating topics in my newspaper column. But this week I have egg on my face, in a special sauce. I recently reported to you about a city in California that had squeezed into the Guinness Book of Records for consuming the most Big Macs per capita.

Now, just three weeks later, we learn that a man named Dan Gorske has consumed his 25,000th Big Mac, an eating binge that stretched over 39 years, most of that stretching being done by his pants.

In all fairness, Gorske claims he has no known health issues. Which means he probably has plenty of health issues, but they’re all unknown to medical science – undiscovered syndromes and bodily malfunctions just looking for catchy names so they can finally worm their way into the newest copy of “The Journal of Digestive Diseases.” I used the word “worm” on purpose.

Nevertheless, Dan asserts he is healthy due to good genetics, and because he doesn’t order a lot of extras, such as fries and sugary sodas. Is there anything more annoying than a self-righteous health nut?

Dan has never been sick, he says, except to his stomach. So the bottom line is that the Big

Macs have not ruined his health, but they did stain half of his bowling shirts.

Dan eats two or three Big Macs between 10 in the morning and midnight. If he wakes up in the middle of the night with a craving, he always has one in the freezer. In the past 39 years, he has only missed a few days – something about a snowstorm and a pesky colonoscopy.

Dan is the author of a book called “22,477 Big Macs,” a lie the minute it was published. I downloaded it on my Kindle, and now I know really cool stuff like the average number of bites it takes Dan to eat a Big Mac (16) and the fact that he has enjoyed one at every NASCAR track, even though he usually has to hide it in his pants in order to smuggle it in. Can this story get any creepier?

Dan says he can reach 50,000 Big Macs by the time he’s 90 years old as long as he stays healthy. He hopes to do a commercial for McDonald’s where he can brag about the nutritional benefits of this iconic three-decker sandwich.

Would this be a little lie? Yes, but at least it’s not a whopper.

Things are getting a bit squirrely at my house HUMOR

By Mike Redmond When we were kids, my brother and sister and I had a pet squirrel named “Filbert.” Well, “pet” is a bit of an overstatement. He lived in the tree behind our house and came to the back door to get the nuts we left for him.

Anyway, I haven’t buddied up to Sciurus niger since Filbert, and this year is no exception. Once again, I find myself at odds with the neighborhood squirrels over a long-standing dispute over who REALLY owns the bird feeder.

First, you should understand this is strictly between me and the squirrels. The birds have long since been cut out of the deal.

Second, you should understand that anyone who says he has a squirrel-proof bird feeder is a lying sack of sunflower seeds.

But back to the feeder. Over the years, I have bought every squirrel-proof bird feeder on the market, and over the years the squirrels have gotten fat at my expense.

Out of necessity, I have even taken to “improving” the feeders. For example, I bought a feeder that had a locking door on the top of the bin and a feeder bar that would close the trough if touched by anything heavier than a chickadee.

It took one day for the squirrels to figure out how to get seed without touching the bar, two

22 | May 31, 2011

to open the top.

I wrapped the lid down tight with not one, not two, but three bungee cords. Two days later the squirrels were bungee jumping off the top of the garage.

I bought six feet of stainless steel chain, wrapped it around the bird feeder and secured it with a combination padlock. Three hours later, I went out on the deck with a cup of tea and saw a squirrel twirling the knob with a look of intense concentration on his face and a tiny stethoscope in his ears.

Hallucination or not, that’s when I decided to just give up. The squirrels weren’t too happy about it, but they haven’t lost any weight, so I don’t think they’re suffering.

Which, in a way, gets me back to Filbert. Oh, he didn’t suffer. But when Dad got cute and tried to hand feed him, Filbert bit him right on the index finger. He had to get stitches and a shot. He suffered. It was anything but a positive interaction.

And I think that’s why he never said no when I asked to go squirrel hunting.

Cost-effective remodel of a 1970s kitchen REMODELING

By Larry Greene Original kitchen: This home located in the Woodland Springs subdivision on the east side of Carmel was built in 1973. The kitchen had never been remodeled and the current owner was facing the replacement of the original 27-inch-wide range. Since most current models start at 30 inches wide, this got them thinking about a full-fledged kitchen remodel. The homeowner thought, “Let’s change some other things we don’t like while we’re at it.”

Favorite features: The existing cabinets were replaced with new maple stock cabinets with a ginger stain and square raised panel full-overlay doors. The homeowner said, “One of your favorite things is the floor to ceiling cabinets. Also, we love the new location of the dishwasher. The dishwasher is now right next to the sink instead of way over in the peninsula. The refrigerator used to open into the desk and now it doesn’t. The remodel just really opened up the kitchen. Although we did not tear down any walls, we have so much more space than before, and the space is being used more efficiently.”

The biggest difference: According to the homeowner, the biggest difference now is the new cabinets. “The cabinets are much more up to date. Removing the old peninsula created a more open feel. I love the pull-out drawers in the pantry. The cast iron

Before sink looks much more stylish than the original sink. This kitchen remodel has changed the main floor of our home tremendously!”

Flooring changes: The new flooring also was a favorite. “I really love the hardwood floor refinishing. I didn’t like the way the hardwood floors looked before. During the remodel, we decided to keep the hardwood floors and have them refinished instead. They replaced some boards and sanded them all down before refinishing. They just look beautiful now and I love them.

You cannot tell the old boards from the new”

Riding in cars with dogs COMMENTARY

By John Mikesell It is that time of the year, and things are finally beginning to heat up. We must be ever vigilant about our pets (and kids too) and leaving them in the car when the outside temperatures are over 65 degrees. There are also many factors to allowing your dog to ride in the car with you.

Consider all the canine passenger safeguards, and select the one that will best suit your dog and your circumstances.

Train your dog to behave in the car like you train him to do anything: by setting him up for success, and reinforcing him for the desired calm behavior.

Be on the lookout for dogs at risk of heat stroke in cars on warm days. Don’t hesitate to call animal protection authorities or the police department if you see a dog suffering fro the heat.

A dog sitting on the driver’s lap can interfere with steering. A dog that gets on or under the accelerator or brake pedals, hits the gear shift, or blocks the driver’s view can cause an accident.

When the driver’s attention is taken away from the road to deal with the dog’s behavior, the dog has become a safety hazard.

A loose dog can become a flying missile if the car stops abruptly or is hit by another car.

If the car windows break or the doors pop open in an accident, a loose dog can escape, get hit on the road, or run off and become lost.

An unsecured dog can interfere with the efforts of rescue workers in an emergency.

A dog with its head out the window can suffer injury to its eyes from flying debris, or worse, can have its head smashed by objects that pass too close to the car (other vehicle Mirrors, signs,

Pets of the week T-Bone is a 6 year old male black and tan Corgi mix. TBone is a social boy who is a bit of a comedian at times. He loves to run and play, but he also enjoys belly rubs very much. T-Bone is house trained and knows the commands sit and down. He is very active but also affectionate and enjoys cuddle time . He is very attached and even dependent on his brother, Brewster, and will need to be adopted together and they would be best suited in a home with children age 10 or older. T-Bone and Brewster qualify for our PAWS Program – Partnering Animals With Seniors, so anyone age 55 or older can adopt them for a reduced fee.

branches) A loose dog can fall or jump out of an open window or back of a truck.

The temperature in a parked car on a warm (not even hot) day can kill a dog. Even on cold days, the dog can become very uncomfortable if left in cold car for a long time.

Even on a cloudy day, cars can become uncomfortable and way too warm for your pet, even after a short time. As a rule, cracking the window on warm sunny days is not enough, so be very careful during these warm summer days.

Coleman is a 3 year old male black and white DSH. Coleman is an outgoing boy who loves to explore and find new things and meet new people. He arrived at the shelter in early April and had a few scratches and scars and was in need of some TLC. While his scars remain, he hopes they won’t deter anyone from seeing what a great cat he would be and give him a chance at having a life as a family pet. Coleman is litter box trained and friendly with people and especially enjoys being scratched behind his ears.

LEGAL NOTICE

Notice to Owners (James J. Martino and Stacey A. Martino) and Interested Parties (Ciena Capital, LLC, Martino’s Inc., Travis Lawson, Business Loan Center, Inc., Cicero Pool and Spa and any other interested parties) of Sale of Real Estate for Unpaid Real Estate Property Taxes: You are hereby notified in accordance with I.C. 6-1.1-25-4.5 of the following information: A Petition will be filed for a Court Order directing the Hamilton County Auditor to issue a tax deed to the tax sale purchaser, Community Funding Solutions, LLC. The Petition for the Tax Deed will be filed on or after October 18, 2011 upon the request of the tax sale purchaser. The petitioner intends to request that the tax deed be issued on or after November 21, 2011. The real estate was sold at the Tax Sale held on October 14, 2010. Any person may redeem the tax sale property listed below. The purchaser is entitled to reimbursement for additional taxes or special assessments, plus interest, which were paid on the real estate by the purchaser subsequent to the Tax Sale and before redemption. This real estate has not been redeemed as of the date of this notice. The purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee is entitled to receive a deed to the subject real estate if it is not redeemed before the expiration of the period of redemption as specified in I.C. 6-1.1-25-4(a), which will be on October 14, 2011. The purchaser is entitled to reimbursement for costs incurred by the purchaser and described in I.C. 6-1.1-25-2(e).

If the tract or item of real property has been sold for an amount more than the minimum bid and the property is not redeemed, the owner or record of the tract or item of real property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus. If the property is deeded to a 3rd party prior to the issuance of the Tax Title Deed, then only that 3rd party may claim the surplus.

Property Address: 7830 Jackson St., Cicero, IN 46034 Parcel Number: 03-02-36-00-00-045.000 Description (Appearing on Tax Sale Certificate): Acreage 1.90, Section 36, Township 20, Range 4, Hamilton County, Indiana The amount to redeem this tract or real property from tax sale is the sum of the following: The minimum bid of $7,688.62 plus a flat 15% interest on the minimum bid, plus an accrued 10% interest on the surplus amount of $52,311.38, which was the amount that was overbid on the date of the tax sale, plus title search costs of $150.00, plus attorneys fees of $500.00 and costs of giving this notice as may be certified by the Tax Sale Purchaser.
