OUR VIEWS

It is our position that Hamilton County Parks and Jesse and Beulah Cox can take great pride in the work now underway at our own Coxhall Park & Gardens. The property donated by the now-deceased couple (and its accompanying endowment) includes 125 acres (which have already been improved by the addition of gardens and a pair of spectacular carillons) and three houses. The most prominent of the edifices, which was inspired by the important colonial American building the Virginia Governor’s Mansion, is presently being upgraded to be used as a museum and event venue. With the addition of enhanced HVAC, fire suppression and appropriate contemporary accessibility, the structure will assume its rightful place as a centerpiece of our County’s park system. And more importantly, it will be available for ongoing use to our community.

We cannot imagine a better realization of a philanthropic vision than the one being undertaken by Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Director Al Patterson and his crew. They are to be heartily congratulated.

And, we look forward to the expected opening in the late autumn of this year. When visiting the park this summer, peek around the construction barriers and imagine the future – and our good fortune.

Missed trial

It is our position that, while we may not be happy with the outcome of the Casey Anthony trial, she stood trial before a group of our peers who decided the verdict.

The American justice system, while not always perfect, is a much fairer and rational system then many other countries around the world.

It’s easy for us to tag Anthony with the guilty tag, but fact of the matter is that we had non-stop media coverage giving us others opinions, while those on the jury only had what was discussed during the trial. It was the prosecutor’s job to prove that Anthony had, without doubt killed her daughter, and was unable to do so in the mind of the jury.

We can complain about the final verdict in this case, but we should be thankful that we didn’t take the easy way out and convict her without hearing her side of the story like other countries might. All in all, we believe that the justice system worked as it was supposed to. If Casey Anthony did in fact kill her daughter, you can take solace in the fact that her life will not be much better outside prison than inside.

Righting our writing wrongs

FROM THE BACKSHOP Your tax dollars hard at work … or not We’re taking a week off from our usual sunny commendations to re-enter the realm of protecting our fellow taxpayers from government waste. Buckle up, because here we go: • Shame on our state Senate for earlier this year deciding to not eliminate the inheritance tax. Indiana needs to get on the bandwagon of states repealing such consequences.

• The liberals in Congress are pushing for “revenue enhancements” in negotiating the raising of the debt ceiling. Does anyone seriously believe sending more money to Washington is going to help settle the debt epidemic?

• A flood of unemployment insurance claims has overwhelmed the system, leading to record abuses and an overpayment rate of 11.6 percent, Labor Department figures reveal. State and federal officials are taking steps to stop fraud and waste, such as using as a new computer system that identifies workers who still receive benefits even though they’ve gotten a job. Interesting. And by turning over our health care to our “inventive” government, we’ll all save money. Right? Wrong.

• Republican Mitt Romney has adapted former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s “Labour Isn’t Working” slogan.

That, alone, denigrates her accomplish-

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg ments. He can’t possibly match her leadership skills. We suppose it was only a matter of time before the spineless GOP would try to hook its broken-down wagon to the Thatcher Shelby GT. It’s really laughable Romney would suggest a comparison.

• From the world of “Monuments to Me,” (a la Robert Byrd of West Virginia), Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who has been fighting against pork barrel spending in Congress, has been asked to sponsor a bill stating that no currently serving legislator or other government employee may have his or her name attached to any project paid for by taxpayer dollars. It was marvelously suggested that if they do, then they must erect a sign that simply says: “This was made possible by the taxpayers.”

No qualms of living old for my age COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson My in-laws frequently tease me about many things, one being my preference for early dinner and bed times. “Danielle, It’s 4 p.m.,” they’ll snicker. “Shouldn’t you be in the cafeteria eating strained peas?” Ha ha. I get it. They think I’m an elderly person. But, I kind of like the geriatric lifestyle. Here’s why.

Early bedtimes: All research supports the old adage that “Nothing good happens after midnight.” Plus, if you have DVR, why would anyone need to stay up late? Put your kids to bed at 7 and enjoy two blissful hours of adult time, then hit the sack. It’s win-win for everyone!

Lots of sleep: My husband loves to burn the candles at both ends and he functions well on six or less hours of sleep. But, I develop acute nausea and headaches with anything fewer than eight hours. I can muddle through a night spent nursing a puking preschooler or comforting a sister in labor, but I am much nicer and prettier if I get my shuteye.

No hangovers: Like most nursing home residents, I am a lightweight drinker. One beer is plenty to keep me chatty and happy; if I drank alcohol in the evening I would sleep poorly and risk my hours of beauty rest. So, I drink at lunchtime; the inevitable headache and dry mouth hit before dinner, and I feel splendid by bedtime.

Staying skinny: It’s a no-brainer eating heavy meals late in the evening can lead to heartburn and thigh fat. Your body doesn’t have time to process the meal before you lie flat for a third of your day.

This is one of the reasons why I like eating dinner early, around 5:30 p.m. Does this schedule coincide with my grandmothers’? Yes, but mine weren’t obese and they lived well into their 80s.

Early morning solitude: I have four children who can be the neediest little boogers in the world and I work full-time with demanding teenagers. Then there is Doo, the cat and gecko, the house, homework and soccer. So when is the only time to savor a cup of coffee or go for a jog?

Six in the morning, before anyone is awake and wanting something from me. Thanks to all of the aforementioned reasons, my energy level allows me to be productive and have a good attitude about life.

Although I could fit in at Sunrise Senior Community, I adore tapioca pudding, playing bingo and water aerobics. So bring it on, hecklers: This is my geriatric lifestyle, and I’m proud of it! Peace out.

The ‘G’ word

Commentary

By Susan Bryant Recently a movement has begun to eliminate the use of the word “retarded” (or “R-word”) to refer to people with intellectual disabilities or as general description of anything deemed stupid or dumb. The “Spread the Word to End the Word” campaign focuses on this issue and has gained momentum in schools across the country. A current public service announcement suggests that the term retarded is just as offensive as the negative racial, ethnic and societal terms that have been used to describe other minorities throughout our history. Jane Lynch, of Glee fame, states in the PSA that “The R-word is the same as every minority slur. Treat it that way and don’t use it.”

Students from Fishers High School picked up the campaign last Spring. Members of the “Best Buddies” program, which pairs students who have intellectual disabilities with those who don’t. That pledged to help promote the end of the R-word among their classmates at school.

Bravo to these Fishers students and the “Spread the Word to End the Word” campaign.

Ending the derogatory connotation of the word retarded is long overdue. Now that this issue has been illuminated, it makes perfect sense that this word be dropped as a put-down in our general vocabulary.

In that spirit, I’d like to propose that we discourage the misuse of another word that has developed a negative connotation. Gay. Or the “G-word” if you like. How many times have you heard kids (or adults) refer to something as “gay” when they really mean something is lame, stupid or weird. Hearing this use of the word gay is just as offensive to a homosexual person as the term retarded is for a person with intellectual disabilities.

If something is lame, say it’s lame. If it’s stupid or weird, say stupid or weird. Don’t say gay. At best, using the term gay as a derogatory slam is a lazy way to express yourself. At worst, it’s hurtful and demeaning to an entire group of people.

As parents, hopefully we try to promote the value of tolerance, acceptance and sensitivity in our children toward people who are different from us. By letting kids casually call something gay as way to berate it, we give the green light for prejudice and discrimination.

To those who this is just a silly issue of “word police” or political correctness and banning words is (insert) retarded/ gay, I would say if you’re the one on the end of a slur, it matters. And it should matter to all of us who tell our kids that other people’s feelings count.

July marks 5-year anniversary of fatal hit-and-run

By Courtney Stiehl Current in Fishers Five years ago, a small black car crashed into a motorcyclist on Meridian and 96th Street before fleeing a fatal blow. On July 20, 2006, officers pronounced 42-year-old Ronald S. Obsitnick Jr., from Lebanon, dead on the scene.

Today, the case remains unsolved. As the anniversary nears, Carmel police are working to generate new activity about the case. They want your help finding the person responsible. Anyone with information about it to come forward.

Police said the hit-and-run vehicle was a small black two-door sports car with a spoiler on the back.

The vehicle should have extensive damage on the right (passenger) side from the crash.

The car was traveling east when it cut in front

of Obsitnick, who was traveling west, to turn north at the intersection.

Reportedly, the car briefly stopped but fled after seeing the dead body.

Anyone with information about the car or the crash is asked to call the Carmel Police Department at (317) 571-2500.

“Our hope of putting this out is that somebody that knows something will give us a call,” said Lieutenant Jeff Horner of the Carmel Police Department about the case.

Obsitnick worked part time as a Carmel Clay School Public Officer, according the news release. He was also a husband and father.

“We’re just trying to get the word back out there,” Horner said. “Maybe something that doesn’t seem important will be a good lead.”

» ISTEP+ Success – Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett announced last week that Indiana students made gains in every subject tested on the 2011 ISTEP+ exam. Overall, 70.2 percent of students passed both the English/language arts and mathematics portions of the exam. In individual subjects, the assessment resulted in statewide pass rates of 78 percent in English/language arts, 79 percent in mathematics, 69 percent in science and 67 percent in social studies.

Cullumber should have been attributed as the owner of Eddy’s Sports Pub in Noblesville. Eddy’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill at Geist is owned by Scott Foster, and is unaffiliated with Eddy’s Sports Pub. Like portraits in an art gallery, flat screen televisions and hi-definition projectors fill the walls of Eddy’s Sports Pub in Noblesville – just to be sure every patron, said owner Scott Cullumber, has a “great view of the game.”

Customer service is key for Cullumber and his staff, who said, despite a “Cheers” feeling the high number of regulars give to the bar, every newcomer is warmly greeted.

Looking to expand that service further, in

June Cullumber began offering patrons a shuttle ride back and forth from the Verizon Wireless Music Center.

“The idea was convenience,” Cullumber said. “It can be a hassle getting in and out of (Verizon) for a concert.

So, now not only came you come hang out and have a great time with us, but you don’t have to drive in and out of the venue, or deal with parking.”

Available on concert nights, as well as Fridays and Saturdays, the shuttle is a $5 ride for patrons. According to Cullumber, the shuttle driver has rarely been wanting for passengers.

“The response has been pretty good,” he said. “Everyone who has taken it has loved it.”

And, he said, the shuttle hasn’t been bad for business, either. Cullumber is even looking to expand the availability of the shuttle services to include Sundays when the football season starts up in the fall.

Eddy’s Sports Pub is located at 14160 Mundy Dr., Noblesville. For more information, visit http://www.eddyssportspub.com/, or call 317-773-3874.

By Scott Raychel Current in Fishers The Hamilton Southeastern High School has recently signed a contract agreement with Indiana University Health to be the sole health care vendor allowed to advertise at the school and its sporting events.

The $400,000 deal allows Indiana University Health to be a corporate sponsor for HSE as well as Fishers High School. IU Health will also provide free sports medicine and a strength coach, which will help train students in their respective sports, to both high schools.

“School safety and school health is important as a community,” said Mike Reuter, CFO of the Hamilton Southeastern schools, who wants a safe environment for students to get involved with school sports. “We want our kids to be trained properly, and most of all, to get proper exercise.”

This new sponsorship will join the previous one that Hamilton Southeastern High School already has with Reynolds Farm Equipment, providing the school with Reynolds Stadium and the IU Health Fields. Without these sponsorships, HSE says it would not be able to afford these benefits.

Sports store hits home run in business

By Scott Raychel Current in Fishers Dan Gilchrest and his father, Dale, run the Play-it-Again sport store in Carmel, where they sell new and used sporting goods to patrons for a good price. Now, they are expanding their business to a second location in Fishers.

“We just feel like it is a growing market that would help better serve the surrounding communities,” said Dan Gilchrest, who attributes the success of the Carmel Play-It-Again Sports to providing quality customer service and quality products.

“Being the neighborhood sporting goods store, we take pride in our customer service.”

Opening a new store in Fishers puts Gilchrest in a better position to serve the customers he said already make their way to the Carmel location to shop there.

Gilchrest has been in the business with his father since Dan approached him about taking over the Play-It-Again Sports store he had been working at before he graduated from college. After his parents reopened the store, they worked to build it back up and make it one of the country’s top 15 most successful stores in the chain. Now, several years later they are preparing to open their second location in Fishers this August.

*The number of cats and dogs in the Humane Society for Hamilton County Shelter that need to be rescued

By Kevin Kane & Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers The Humane Society for Hamilton County makes saving the county’s pets appear easy, but it’s far from it.

Many believe HSHC to be a no-kill shelter. That’s not quite true – but staff members say it’s their mission to find a home for every animal that comes through the door.

“Technically, we’re low-kill,” said Executive Director Rebecca Stevens. “However, we do have a no-kill philosophy when it comes to adoptable pets.”

And, Stevens says, very few pets are considered unadoptable.

The shelter’s staffers believe they can find a home for nearly every animal they see, regardless of breed or age – and, from blind cats to deaf dogs, their numbers show uncommon success.

While other shelters around the state may euthanize several, if not dozens of animals per day, HSHC put down only 16 of the 1,603 animals it has received through June of this year, meanwhile putting more than 1,400 in homes. Of the 16 euthanized animals, 14 came to the shelter with significant health issues.

Temperament issues necessitated the remaining two.

Though the statistics may indicate success, Stevens said it doesn’t come easily.

Most municipalities have their own taxpayer funded animal control services. Hamilton County is different.

HSHC has contracts with all municipalities in the county to serve as

their animal control facility, allowing them to do without the expense of operating one of their own.

“They’re benefitting from an economy of scale,” Stevens said.

“The Humane Society, which is going to be more skilled and more invested in adopting out pets, manages the facility, and the taxpayers are helping fund the animal control side. It’s smart what we’ve done here.”

But, these contracts force HSHC to play every card it’s dealt.

Stevens said her facility is legally obligated to take in every animal presented – including strays, very aggressive dogs and animals that have been hit by cars. Exceptions cannot be made because of space limitations, an animal’s health or adoptability concerns. In fact, per the requirements of the contracts, all incoming animals must be spayed or neutered, vaccinated and treated for existing injuries. Per the law, municipalities cover the costs of treating and caring for animals for up to seven days, a total of $157.34, while HSHC tries to find them homes.

“But, if an animal is here for a single day beyond those seven, we lose money,” Stevens said.

Overall, HSHC places more than 90 percent of the animals in its care – well above the national average of 35 percent. Stevens credits HSHC’s donors, volunteers and relentless marketing efforts for this success.

“There’s nothing magical in Hamilton County,” she said. “It’s a lot of really hard work.”

Still, despite their best efforts, Stevens says the shelter would likely have to put down many more animals without the efforts of volunteers and foster parents, and people like Bruce McNabb, owner of First Friend K-9 Training in Fishers, who decided to challenge himself this year with rescuing, training and re-homing one dog per month. As of the beginning of July, he’d found new homes for 10 dogs, including adding a rescued Yorkie to his own doggy family.

“I can only imagine the number of dogs out there in shelters who need homes, who need to be rescued,” McNabb said. “But it’s not always a proper fit. If you look at the number of dogs who are coming out of a shelter, and then going right back into that shelter, it’s sad. A lot of times they’re just trying to get these dogs out of the shelter, and not worried if the breed is the right mix for the family.”

That, in a nutshell, Stevens says, is why tasking concerned Humane Society employees with matching animals and potential owners is a best-case scenario.

While volunteers and individuals like McNabb help make the shelter’s no-kill philosophy possible, Stevens fears the shelter’s success may cause the community to overlook the need for continued support, chiefly, the importance of adopting animals from shelters and rescues instead of buying from breeders and pet stores.

“I think sometimes we’ve developed such a good reputation of not euthanizing animals that people don’t see the urgency, but the urgency’s always there,” Stevens said. “There is no new space. There is no option for new space.”

Current in Fishers

Well above average The Humane Society for Hamilton County takes in an average of 150 animals per month, unable to refuse any animals if space is tight or any other reason. Still, Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said HSHC places more than 90 percent of the animals in its care, well above the national average of 35 percent.

257 dogs have been surrendered by their owners thus far this year.

= 20 dogs

307 cats have been surrendered by their owners thus far this year.

= 20 cats

Fact versus fiction The common misconception that HSHC is a no-kill shelter is not grossly inaccurate, but another wrong assumption – that HSHC is government funded – is quite far from the truth.

The only tax dollars HSHC receives are what is paid for the first seven days of care. The rest of the money funding the shelter’s $1.4 million operating budget comes from adoption fees and the support of donors. Most donations come from individuals, who may only contribute $50 at a time, Stevens said.

The case for Caprese COOKING

By Clint Smith My reticence in featuring a Caprese salad was rooted in my unflinching suspicion readers would glance at the recipe’s title only to supply an uninspired mental shrug. Currently, the Caprese salad is a pervasive staple on restaurant menus. However, many of these interpretations are poorly executed, doing little justice to such a renowned and refreshing pairing. Yet, properly prepared, the effects are culinary art.

You might notice tri-colored combinations of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil is a salute to the Italian flag. So in the spirit of trinities, I’ll offer three reasons why this dish is a classic.

First is timing. La Caprese appears on menus during a seasonal window when ingredients are

at their peak. Season popularity leads to my second reason: simplicity. You have two main components with the addition of basil; however, if you add an extra bit of personality and a touch of balsamic vinegar you have the ideal taste.

The third reason is personal hallmarks. Our experiences while shifting season supplies are an amalgamation for our memories and our senses.

It feels good to revisit familiar things. While familiarity may breed contempt, the classic La Caprese has earned an enduring exemption.

Clint Smith is an honors graduate of The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, Le Cordon Bleu, and is currently a culinary arts instructor at Central Nine Career Center in Greenwood. To read more about techniques and recipes, visit www.cookingwithclint.com.

Caprese salad with basil oil and balsamic syrup Serves 2-4 Ingredients • 4 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced thick • 16 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced thick • 4 ounces fresh basil leaves • 8 ounces extra virgin olive oil • ½ cup premium balsamic vinegar • ½ tablespoon all-purpose flour Directions 1. For basil oil: drop two ounces of basil leaves in boiling water for 20 seconds until color becomes vibrant. Quickly plunge basil into ice-cold water to retain color.

Remove, pat dry, and add to a blender.

Pour in olive oil and blend (adding more oil if needed) until oil is bright green.

Strain mixture through mesh sieve and set aside.

2. For syrup: in small sauce pan, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer; in a small bowl, add a few tablespoons of vinegar along with flour and mix with your finger to eliminate clumps. Pour flour-vinegar mixture into balsamic to thicken (adjust consistency with water). Allow to cool.

Traveling?

Don’t Let Diabetes Slow You Down

No matter where you’re headed in the world, managing your diabetes along the way can be a simple part of your travel plans.

Before you leave…

Visit your physician to have a routine check-up, including a blood pressure check and a cholesterol test. You should also make arrangements to receive any special immunizations you may need for overseas travel. If you use insulin, get a correction scale to help you manage your blood sugar. And be sure to get copies of all your prescriptions with both brand and generic names.

“If a diabetes-related emergency occurs during a trip, a person should have enough information with them for medical personnel to render appropriate care,” said Pam Coates, R.D., C.D., C.D.E., registered dietitian at St.Vincent Diabetes Center. “A person with diabetes should purchase a medical ID bracelet and keep a card in their wallet or purse that informs people they have diabetes, preferably in the language of the country they’re visiting.”

While you’re packing…

Packing extra essentials to manage your diabetes while traveling is always a good idea. Keep important items

such as medications, monitoring supplies, insulin, syringes or pens in a carry-on bag including all relevant prescription information, which airport security may request to see. Never pack insulin in a checked bag, as it may freeze at high altitudes. Extra insulin should be stored in an insulated carrier.

When you get there…

Depending on your destination, your trip may take you across several time zones. Ask your physician how to adjust your insulin schedule when you arrive at your destination and return home. If you’re booking a room, request a refrigerator to store extra insulin, and pens, and use your your own thermometer to ensure it’s set at the appropriate temperature.

“Many countries don’t use the same strength of insulin that we use here,” Coates said. “U-100 is standard in the U.S., but other countries use U-40 or U-80. If you need to buy insulin abroad, a local physician or pharmacist can convert your dosage. Be sure to buy new syringes that match the new insulin you’re getting. Be cautious for 24 hours with the insulin change, and be prepared for possible low blood sugars.”

Nuts and bolts of veganism

COMMENTARY

By Courtney Stiehl The quest to become a healthy and happy vegan (for a month, anyway) remains tricky.

Thus far, it has been a learning experience rather than a change of health. So, I thought I’d share some information I’ve picked up now that I’m halfway into my June-long journey.

First off, I’ve never admired those who adhere to this strict plant-based diet more than I do today. I applaud them for their discipline! Many do it for a passion for animals, so the lifestyle moves beyond a diet to a philosophy of pro-animal rights. These people can be categorized as “ethical” vegans. This camp avoids clothing and hygienic items made with animal products.

Others give veganism a shot to improve their health. These are “dietary” vegans. I fall into the latter category. I’ve continued to eat honey because of this, as some dietary vegans

do. Abstaining from honey proves difficult on a dairy-free diet because it’s in many of the wholegrain cereals I’ve become dependant on. Mostly, I don’t see the point of giving it up. I’ve also continued to wear my leather purse and normal cosmetics throughout this exploration. Still, I’ve strictly kept dairy, eggs and animal everything (except honey) out of my eating habits.

One saving grace has been Amy’s frozen foods. The organic, vegetarian brand’s burritos, lasagnas and stir-fries delighted me before the switch. Now, they’ve become essential when I’m tired of preparing meals. One of my favorites, rice macaroni with non-dairy Daiya cheese, tastes better than the real thing. Prepared foods that don’t contain animal products deserve rejoicing over.

I tried a vegetarian/vegan restaurant while visiting Bloomington last week. The Owlery Restaurant introduced me to tempeh, made

from fermented soybeans. This differs from tofu, which is made by curdling hot soymilk. In the Carmel area, I haven’t located an all-vegetarian restaurant. But, some places have a specific vegetarian or vegan menu upon request. If one isn’t available, it’s difficult to be sure about what can be consumed. So, I typically eat at home.

Still, going vegan continues to get easier than it was years ago. As the diet becomes trendier and a sustainable, organic food movement continues, more vegan brands are emerging. Vegan websites showcase plenty of creative recipes. Several readers have introduced me to these and some local vegans’ blogs. I appreciate this encouragement!

Smartphone plastic surgery COMMENTARY

By Barry Eppley Smartphones have undoubtedly taken over our lives. Spend time in any crowd or shopping mall and notice how many people are doing something on their phones at that instant. Whether it be reading email, playing a game and even talking, loudly.

Plastic surgery is no different in being swept up in the smartphone craze. There are now numerous iPhone and Droid apps designed to give your body a total makeover. People contemplating some type of surgical metamorphosis can get to know what their post-procedure look may be thanks to these apps.

One of my favorites is called the iSurgeon Game. It combines a game mode that enables users to try their hand at surgery. People can modify images ranging from lip enhancements, breast augmentations and many other improve-

ments. Users can quickly simulate plastic surgery by easily modifying face and body features on their phone, including such operations as rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and tummy tucks.

Clever and unusual names like BodyPlastika, Modiface and FaceTouchUp, morphing a body part is becoming as easy as nuking a frozen dinner. With some of the apps, you can even turn your phone around, take your own photo and email them to the doctor with your questions.

The public’s interest in this kind of personal ‘modification’ is great even if one is never going to embark on a surgical journey. While some plastic surgeons may criticize the concept of allowing patients to make changes to their own body parts, which may be wildly unrealistic and usually are, it is certainly a fun ‘test drive’. Having patients simulate what they want creates an informative dialogue in the vein of a picture is

worth a thousand words.

While the smartphone and electronic manipulation can make plastic surgery into a fun game, it is largely just that. If only surgery was as simple and predictive as morphing a few thousand pixels around. What one can do on the computer and what can actually be done in the operating room is often quite different and far less precise. Let us never confuse Photoshop plastic surgery with real plastic surgery. While most people would quickly acknowledge that, a few do forget during the recovery process.

In the spirit of continual smartphone distraction, I must run now to answer an inquiry that just came in on my own iphone app, Ask My Cosmetic Surgeon.

Habits – Block your schedule Small business 101

By CJ McClanahan If you’ve read my column for the last six months (email kellie@goreachmore.com for the entire set), you now understand the fundamentals for building a successful small business.

Before we move on to the graduate level studies, we are going to examine the reasons why most people never execute these fundamentals.

A long time before Al Gore invented the internet, a wise philosopher argued, “We are what we repeatedly do. Success then is not an act, but a habit.” Way back in 300 BC, Aristotle already knew why most people never execute the fundamentals: they don’t have the discipline to develop the habits required to be successful.

For all of us, the great equalizer is time. We all have 24 hours in a day, and our success in business is directly related to the way in which we spend that time. Unfortunately, just about every business owner I have coached during the past eight years does an awful job of managing their time.

The reason we struggle is simple. As Dr. Stephen Covey pointed out in First Things First, we are “addicted to urgency.” In other words, we allow our desire for immediate gratification to drive our day, and judge our productivity by how many items we check off a to-do list.

It’s time you learn to take back control of your day. To do that, I am going to recommend you start by developing the habit of blocking

your schedule.

To start, you need to ask yourself two questions: What are the most important items that you should complete every week, and what are the specific projects that must be completed by this Friday at 5 p.m.? As you put these lists together, remember that if everything is important, nothing is important.

Next, look at your calendar and make certain you have time blocked to complete these activities. Set aside the same block of time weekly for the habits you’d like to develop. For example, if you are a morning person, I would recommend you consider getting your prospecting done as soon as you hit the office, when you have the most energy.

After you have developed a weekly block schedule for habits, I would advise that each week you review and make certain you have time allocated to complete the special projects (complete a proposal, review insurance estimates, etc) for that specific week. It’s OK if you have an entire afternoon scheduled for administrative work as long as you are clear what projects need to be completed during this time.

Adequate coverage critical in an auto accident Commentary

By Brian Harter Question from Tyler H. from Noblesville: I’ve never been in an auto accident (knock on wood), but I saw one yesterday on my way to work and it got me thinking: What do I need to do if I’m in one?

Response from Brian Harter: Being in an automobile accident, no matter how minor, is a scary thing to experience. Your independent insurance agent should be able to provide you with a card to keep in your glove box of everything you need to do if an accident occurs. Here is what we recommend: 1. Take a deep breath and assess the situation. Get your vehicle and passengers away from further harm if the vehicle is still operable.

2. Make sure that no one in your vehicle requires immediate medical attention.

Check the occupants of any other vehicle involved next.

3. Call the police. It doesn’t matter how minor the accident is. Having a police report filed will make your claim process much smoother.

4. Exchange insurance information and record the details. Make sure the other driver’s insurance is not out of date. Get their phone number, address, license plate number and the make and model of their car to make filing your claim easier.

5. Pull out your camera phone and snap

www.youarecurrent.com

some pictures of your car from every angle and of any damage it now has.

6. Obtain a copy of the police report and call your independent agent to file a claim.

Coverage Recommendations Driving without insurance coverage in Indiana is illegal, and a great way to end up with a suspended license or serious financial problems.

The starting point for insurance in Indiana is the required state minimum coverage: $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 per accident, and $10,000 for property damage. However, those amounts won’t get you very far when it comes time to settle a claim. They also provide you zero protection from motorists that drive around without insurance or with inadequate insurance.

I recommend limits of $250,000 per injured person, $500,000 per accident and $100,000 for property damage, with an endorsement to protect you from uninsured and underinsured motorists. These raised limits will also allow you to add a personal umbrella policy to further protect you in extreme cases. You can also get a nice discount by packaging these policies together with your homeowner’s policy. Adding comprehensive and collision coverage, and adjusting the cost of your deductibles, is something you should talk with your independent agent about.

SweetLilly’s a dream come true for owners Commentary

By Jenn Kampmeier Melissa Lash started her business, SweetLilly’s, out of her kitchen in Yorktown, IN, in 2008. She has since moved on to a licensed rental kitchen space in Carmel. It doesn’t have a store front, though. Melissa delivers all of her sweets personally.

Melissa graduated from Ivy Tech with a degree in baking and pastry arts. After losing her full time job, she found a perfect opportunity to pursue her dream.

Lash’s love for baking started in the fifth grade.

She joined 4-H and continued for several years making it through all of their cooking related classes. Years later, she found herself constantly baking cakes for holidays. When she graduated from Ivy Tech in 2008, she was baking cakes, éclairs, cheesecakes, cupcakes, you name it, she baked it. At first, she sold everything at-cost just to keep the business going and to get her name out there. Her orders kept growing and growing – cheesecakes were her most requested item – eventually including orders for wedding and other special occasion cakes.

“I am very fortunate to have Vera Mae’s in Muncie as a customer,” Lash said. “They carry my cheesecakes as one of their desserts.”

At the beginning of this year, Ivy Tech hired Melissa to teach “Beginning Baking” classes and

18 | July 19, 2011

a “Baking Merchandising” class.

“I get the chance to teach something I love to do to students with the same passion,” Lash said. “To know that I have helped and influenced students along the way means so much to me. I want to be an inspiration to others, as my mentors have been to me.”

SweetLilly’s main product offering is its specialty cheesecakes (many flavor options available) and special occasion cakes (wedding, birthdays, grooms cakes, anniversary, 3-D cakes and cupcakes).

All of the products are made from scratch, using real ingredients. SweetLilly’s never freezes its products, and only takes a handful of orders each week so it can provide the freshest product and spend the time to make the product perfect for the client.

Lash’s ultimate goal is to have several retail locations in the northern Indianapolis area.

Her immediate goal is to get a few more retailers (restaurant/cafes) to carry her cheesecakes. She said she loves being a business owner as it allows her to spend more time with her family.

“I am proud to be a business owner, even with the ups and downs of daily life,” Lash said.

“It’s worth every moment to see a client happy with their product, and the smile on their face.”

Stepping smartly into a project COMMENTARY

By David Decker Who, what, when, where, why and … how much?

At the starting line of a custom home improvement project, it’s sometimes hard to know which question to ask first. Let’s jumble the order of these simple questions and look at the first steps to making big improveBefore ments to your home.

Why? Is the main idea to enhance your home’s functionality, aesthetic appeal, financial value or other reason? Functionality is how you live in the home. Aesthetic appeal is about looks and style. Financial value is about real estate and resale value.

Prioritizing and balancing all these factors define the project; it’s important to know the real reason behind the enhancement.

Where? Kitchens and master bathrooms are the most popular projects. A smart step here is to bring in a home improvement professional to assess your situation, desires and priorities.

What? Options are limitless in terms of what can be done to any home, but we all have limits and parameters in terms of budget, desires, taste, needs and goals. Ask this question in terms of: What is out there, and what do I want?

A home improvement professional, again, is an enormous help in guiding this process.

When? When do you want to start? When do you want to be finished? Are you going to be in the home during the project? All are important considerations.

After Who? In your gut, who do you trust to communicate with you frequently and honestly?

Who will respect your privacy when working in your home? Who will do the job right, on time and on budget. Check references and go with a professional who has earned your trust to be as value conscious and as focused on your project as you are.

How much? An experienced, in-it-for-thelong-haul professional is going to do the best job of understanding expectations and telling you costs going in, and then hitting those expectations and costs coming out.

By taking smart, deliberate steps and asking the right questions, you dramatically improve the chances of your final answer being, “Wow! What a great project!”

Classic comfort outside LANDSCAPING

By Randy Sorrell SPF, “Sexy Pergola Fun”, rules on July / August evenings when the summer breeze offers just enough encouragement to stay outside and a little protection from the sun is hoped for. An occasional cloud certainly helps, but nothing trumps the dappled sun and outdoor room sensation better than a well planned pergola with modern trim details. Classic comfort is the feel and authentic luxury is the look.

Creating shade is a primary objective now. Pergolas are always a great solution, but there are others. Many are employing oversized 11’ cantilevered umbrellas or multiple smaller ones, which offer complete shade when the sun is directly overhead. They have a nice price point and prompt color and drama.

There is the pesky 5 – 7 pm issue. It seems regardless of the roof structure, the persistent sun finds a path to sneak through and sizzle whatever entertaining is planned. Often, a few smart strategies can quickly resolve that.

Exterior grade blinds can be housed in the pergola beams (or porch) and lowered when needed. Custom lattice panels built to modern specifications can offer relief, particularly

when planted with your favorite clematis vine trailing through it. Snazzy outdoor drapes with formal hardware is a confident solution and looks fantastic, says Fabiola at Drapery Street in the Indiana Design Center on Rangeline Road.

Long term shade strategies often include shade trees. Unfortunately, a few years growth may be required before the appropriate canopy develops. Marry the trees with a handful of larger ornamental grasses around the patio to squeeze down the vulnerable 5 – 7 pm sun exposure.

My favorite evenings? Outside! Always on the patio and often under the gigantic umbrella for complete protection or gathered under the pergola for a more open feel. The grill is working overtime and wine glasses full as neighbor kids take short-cuts through the back yard and my girls are laughing about something (I’m the easy target).

Feral plants make gardeners happy GARDENING

By Holly Lindzy There are snapdragons growing in the crack of my concrete steps. Yep. And I’m going to leave them. I call them crackdragons. Cute, huh?

I love it when something pops up out of nowhere and surprises me. I feel like, if a seed is going to go through all of that to land somewhere and make it long enough to survive, then who am I to say it shouldn’t grow there? Live and let live.

Several plants are prone to scattering viable seeds everywhere. Granted, sometimes it is a bane – as in, crabgrass. But for me, when I see feral petunias and snapdragons popping up as they please, it makes me very happy.

Like a Johnny Jump Up, for instance, which is a type of viola, dubbed appropriately because it tends to pop up in lawns and wherever the seed flies. Nothing makes me happier than

www.youarecurrent.com

when I spot one in my lawn. Mowing must cease until it is spent.

And several perennials have the same lust for life, like coneflowers, rudbeckia and blackberry lily. While some gardeners tire of their tendency to overpopulate the garden, I see it as an opportunity to share with my gardening friends. Easy enough to dig a few up when they’re small and pot them for a fellow enthusiast. And everyone’s happy.

So, this season I’m enjoying my crackdragons – red and yellow ones. And who knows who else might pop up out of nowhere? Rest assured: If something does, I’m keeping it!

Break free from the cages of conflict Relationships

By Doug Jeschke Far too many people go through life with heightened stress and anxiety from unresolved conflict with someone. Maybe it’s a family member who says hurtful things. Then, there’s the co-worker who takes every opportunity to be disparaging. Maybe there’s an ex-spouse who wants to dredge up past issues at any opportunity.

Whatever the situation, many people simply tolerate interpersonal irritations and wrongs, rather than confront the person and possibly make matters worse. Or, some people display their irritation through anger, harsh words or by avoiding the person entirely. Either way you naturally react, the conflict stays and continues to be a stressor and an irritant, flaring up whenever the offender comes to mind.

As a family mediator, I had a divorce client who was continually calling me for advice about his situation- really just to vent about the spouse who he is separating from. He continued to call me, no matter how many times I explained he really needs to bring his issues up with his spouse during the next mediation session. I found myself avoiding his calls rather than taking a more direct stand and risk offending him.

As a result, each and every time my phone rang, I was apprehensive and a little irritated, whether it was him or not.

So why did I live with that small conflict

that caused me an inordinate amount of stress?

I guess I hoped he would figure out what he was doing; that he would pick up on the hints I thought I was dropping and change his behavior. Besides, his divorce would be completed soon, and so would my relationship with him.

The most important step in resolving conflicts is making a commitment to fix the problem.

Imagine life free of the weight on your shoulders resulting from not speaking up, or from letting your irritation get the better of you.

A strategy is useful when resolving conflict.

First, be honest with yourself about what you might have done to contribute to the conflict.

Next, meet with the person face to face. Explain your desire to strengthen the relationship and start by admitting your own fault (or faults). Finally, approach the topic of the other person’s irritating behavior gently, by focusing on how their behavior impacts you. Team up together, work on the problems and improve the relationship.

This kind of conversation can be difficult, but you must risk a little discomfort to change the situation. Approach the other person honestly and respectfully and your chances for success will increase.

Building a softer, gentler remote control HUMOR

By Dick Wolfsie I already know what I want for Christmas. I saw it in the Brookstone catalog. The manufacturers maintain this is NOT some lame novelty product, but a boon to mankind. I’m not so sure about womankind. It was this provocative headline that caught my eye: “At long last, a remote control pillow.”

Someone finally had the brains to sew a TV remote inside a throw pillow. Brilliant! The people who wasted valuable time thinking up Windows 7 must be kicking themselves. Really, what man hasn’t spent 15 minutes looking for his clicker, then wondered why he couldn’t switch channels with something he never misplaces—like his can of beer.

Never again will you have to ask: “Where’s the remote?” Instead you’ll be asking why there is mustard on the volume button. One fan commented, “It looks like the regular pillow I cuddle with.” Okay, that is a little creepy, but I was still intrigued.

There are some safety warnings: Like a minor possibility of being electrocuted if you drool on the thing. The device shuts off after two hours of inactivity—not gonna happen, because most men are persistent channel surfers. However, falling asleep on the pillow is a pressing problem. A few customers complained one minute they were watching a documentary about FDR

20 | July 19, 2011

on the History Channel and minutes later woke up to Snooki on Jersey Shore.

The people at Brookstone also claim the item is a great conversation starter.

“Hey, Joe, is that pillow also a remote?”

“Yes, Tom, it is.”

“Please pass the cheese puffs.”

As I mentioned, the big benefit is you will never again lose the remote. Of course, I came out of Kohl’s the other day and spent 20 minutes looking for my car, and I played golf Thursday and lost six clubs, so I’m not optimistic this is a surefire solution for me.

The product website boasts the pillow can control 500 devices. I went around the house and I could only find six or eight devices in all our rooms. Maybe if I counted the bread box and our antique magazine rack, I could get that up to 10.

My wife wondered if she could start the dishwasher with the pillow, but I had to put my foot down. This kind of laziness is ruining our country, although it would be awesome to get Orville Redenbacher popping in the microwave right before the movie starts.

You’ll Find It All Here.
