OUR VIEWS

It is our position we have allowed ourselves to become too dependent on technology. While technology is fast and convenient, it also has the habit of not working when we need it to. It is our opinion we maintain some of the practices held before e-mails and text messages were introduced into our lives.

We love technology as much as the next person, but believe being as reliant as we are on it is something that must change. We’re in no way saying to give up technology, but to keep skills such as letter writing and doing math without a calculator in practice.

We also fear if we do not keep these practices in our lives, children are going to lose it entirely. Some of America’s most important transactions have been through pen and paper. Columbus didn’t use a Garmin or TomTom to discover the New World and Albert Einstein didn’t use a calculator to come up with the theory of relativity. There’s a time to do things the quick and easy way, and there’s a time to do things deliberately. We need to be sure we are prepared for both.

Pet etiquette

It is our position we need to be more considerate of our neighbors in terms of how we handle our pets. Many people don’t want to start a Hatfield’s versus McCoy’s situation over a pet, but the constant barking of your neighbor’s dog or running over the pets’ waste with your lawn mower is enough to strain any relationship.

We have all these books and columns about dinner etiquette, but it’s rare to discuss pet etiquette. We believe it’s alarming how thoughtless some are to their neighbors. Your neighbors should not hear your dog barking. We need to be careful about how our pets affect our neighbors.

Sometimes it’s too easy to let the dog stay outside and bark without doing anything to quiet it, or not pick up the dog’s poop. These two issues are easy fixes and will help improve the relationships with neighbors. We all love our pets and want to do things that make them happy. Sometimes though, they need to take a backseat to our neighbors, who have the right to enjoy an atmosphere not polluted with the sound of barking dogs.

I thought I WAS PERFECTLY HEALTHY. When Don’s family doctor recommended he have a heart scan at The Indiana Heart Hospital, he was surprised because up to that point, he had been told he was healthy. But the heart scan showed he needed quadruple bypass surgery immediately.

Don says it saved his life. And now he’s back to what he loves... going to the gym, playing golf and performing at his local theatre.

The most comprehensive care and advanced surgical options on the North side.

The age paradox Commentary

By Terry Anker I guess they call it over-the-hill because once we pass the summit, life accelerates at a startling rate. We have more to do and less time to do it. Kids. Careers. Parents. Houses. Assets.

Building Assets. At mid-life, it is all in play. No doubt, the heaviest lifting happens when we are young – trying to figure out what we like – and perhaps equally important, what we can do that might actually add value to the world around us. But by the top of the mountain, we have learned skills and generally figured out how to survive. Then, the ride really begins.

Yet the journey from that point on is rife with paradox. Many of us have accumulated more friends, family and stuff than we could ever find time to enjoy. We are routinely invited to the banquet of life (and can afford to indulge in it), yet our diets won’t allow for the calories. We have settled into a world of our own making,

even as we are trapped by the very dominion of that we have wrought. Even as we become more efficient and thoughtful in how we expend our energy, we don’t have as much of it left to spend. Perhaps it is true – youth is wasted on the young. Or perhaps it is the intentional nature of things. If we started life devoid of both wisdom and exuberance, few of us would ever make it long enough to reach the midpoint. Is it possible we need the vigor of our early lives to survive the years on the path to the wisdom of adulthood? Now that I am looking at life on the downside of the over-the-hill equation, I wonder what the next half holds. Regardless, I intend to enjoy the ride.

reader’s view Raw milk is getting the raw deal Editor: If you control the food supply, you control the populace. And the U.S. government is literally controlling our food supply at gunpoint.

Our tax dollars are being spent installing spies and making armed raids on small, raw milk farmers. Despite the facts – raw milk is one of the most perfect foods in creation and people have been consuming it for thousands of years – the good bacteria in raw milk have been proven to completely eradicate E. coli and other deadly pathogens when injected into the milk. Recent incidents of deaths resulting from tainted milk have involved pasteurized milk.

But this isn’t just about raw milk. If you don’t drink it and don’t want to, don’t assume you’re safe. It’s about government control. The Food Safety Modernization Act, which was signed into law January 2011, gives the FDA nearly unlimited authority to decide if a food is harmful, without having to present any real or credible evidence to support their claims.

When the the Farm-to-Consumer Legal

Defense Fund brought suit against the ban on interstate raw milk sales, the FDA responded, “There is no absolute right to consume or feed children any particular food … Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish.” In other words, you have no inherent right to any food – not raw milk, not anything.

Imagine a country where the majority of our “food” is produced in labs and factories by giant corporations, and lobbyists from these corporations work with our government to decide what is legal for us to eat. When the foods we ourselves grow and sell can be outlawed at will, there is a real possibility of tyranny.

Please support Representative Ron Paul’s bill, HR 1830, which authorizes the interstate traffic of unpasteurized milk for human consumption.

Call your representatives and spread the word.

The issue isn’t raw milk – it’s whether Americans have the right to decide what to eat.

DISPATCHES » Online Review – Want to read Chris Lloyd’s weekly Capt. Critic’s DVD Pick column? You can find it online at www. currentnoblesville.com. This week, Lloyd will review “The Ides of March” – an ambitious, well-executed political drama that loses steam because if it’s utter lack of freshness. George Clooney directed, cowrote and has a supporting role in “Ides” as Mike Morris, a liberal governor who’s the frontrunner for the race to the White House. The film also stars Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.

“That’s a killer cast, and Clooney knows how to exploit it, resulting in many scenes of dueling repartee and clashing egos,” described Lloyd. » Commission assignment – The Noblesville Common Council appointed Lisa Cardona to the Historic Preservation Commission Tuesday evening. She fulfilled the unexpired term of Mel Jolliff, which expired on Dec. 31, 2011. Cardona expressed her willingness to continue serving on the commission for a threeyear term expiring on Dec. 31, 2014. » State of the County – Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger will present his annual State of the County address at the January Noblesville Chamber of Commerce luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan.

This I swear

COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson I find it fascinating so many of you are concerned enough with my use of foul language that you’d take time from your day to e-mail me. Thank you, I feel so loved! Unfairly judged, certainly, but nonetheless loved. The response reminds me of the few times I’ve expressed frustration about my faith – strangers criticizing my honesty, praying for my salvation and condemning me to the eternal hell fires.

To bring you up to speed, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to cut back on the cussing.

Several women wrote to say my filthy articles had no place in their local publications; more to call me ignorant because I can’t think of a better word than “sh*#.” But here’s the deal. Beside the fact that I like swearing, I just don’t understand what the big deal is.

Let’s be honest. Being a parent requires you to constantly censor yourself. Children are impressionable tattletales who will gleefully rat you out to any neighbor, teacher or priest who’ll listen. For example, you slam your Diet Coketoting hand in the mini-van door carpooling to soccer. Even though “MythBusters” proved cursing increases pain tolerance, you can’t yell “c%#*s@!*&er” or even “da$@” because little Andy will go tell his straight-laced mommy that Mrs. Wilson has a potty mouth. And guess

who won’t be getting anymore rides to practice?

Exactly – the newly branded juvenile delinquent with the salty sailor for an old lady.

And my youngest is only 7, which means I’ve still got at least 10 more years before I can conceivably speak an unforgivable word in her company without her plunging the daggers of shock and disappointment into my soul. That’s entirely too long to be limited to ineffective “hecks” and boring “fudges.” Bottom line? It’s simply not possible or even healthy to expurgate my vocabulary.

I believe it’s much better to release the rage in small doses in a controlled environment. I also think, when used appropriately and with just the right timing, foul language is hilarious.

(Exhibit A: Richard Pryor. Exhibit B: George Carlin. The defense rests.) That’s why I love my family, in-laws and coworkers. They get it. They know swearing is simply a punch line, a vent or a colorful way to say you’ve had a hard day.

So cut me some slack. I don’t use profanity that much. I’m just a working mom with four kids and a bald husband who occasionally needs to let one fly to keep her sanity. Peace out.

A bumpy start to the 2012 session COMMENTARY

By Kathy Richardson We have had a bumpy start to the 2012 legislative session. We were all set to begin session on Jan. 4, but the Democrat Caucus denied the House of the constitutionally-required quorum needed to conduct business. They did show up on Jan. 9, but then disappeared again the next day.

Their absences from session are in protest to just one piece of legislation, right-to-work. I am sure many of you have heard about right-towork on the news, read about it in your papers and have seen commercials both for and against it on TV and the radio. The bill would simply allow Hoosier workers the freedom to choose whether or not to financially support a union.

This bill is pro-jobs, pro-work and pro-freedom.

Economic development experts have told us up to 50 percent of businesses do not even consider bringing jobs to Indiana because we are not a right-to-work state. This piece of legislation would put Indiana on more companies’ lists of possible states in which to grow, expand or relocate. With our unemployment rate hovering at approximately 9 percent, we must do all

8 | January 17, 2012

we can to create and bring jobs to Indiana.

It is disappointing the Democrats do not show up every day to do their jobs. There are hundreds of pieces of legislation that require discussion, and we are losing precious work days due to their stall tactics. They are calling for more discussion on this piece of legislation, when in fact, it has been discussed for a year now, and has received more than 25 hours of public testimony.

We have work to do here at the Statehouse, and more than just one bill to pass. In their absence, they are jeopardizing many-needed pieces of legislation. House Republicans will continue to show up everyday ready for the conduct of business, and will be prepared to work extra hard on the days we are actually joined on the House floor. We know Hoosier families need us to work hard for them.

Meet Edra Waterman Age: 41 Hometown: West Lafayette Residence: Plainfield (but her goal is to move to the area after her teenager finishes high school).

Education: Bachelor’s degree in English from Purdue, masters of library science from Indiana University.

Hobbies: I like to read, travel to visit family across the state and go to the movies.

Favorite American author: William Faulkner Nook or Kindle: Kindle Currently reading: “In the Garden of Beasts” by Erik Larson and “Copper Beach” by Jayne Ann Krentz.

New library director wants to better your visit

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Edra Waterman said she loves what a public library means to a community – “It’s a place to go regardless of your financial position or what you look like, to come and get what you need to make your life better.”

“A great community deserves a great library,” she explained.

“It’s more than books and movies, at its root it’s a community space – a neutral space – with meeting rooms for community and non-profit organizations and where kids can come after school for tutoring. It’s a great feature and improves the quality of life – expands what you need to succeed. Libraries are an important symbol of a successful and thriving community.”

Waterman’s library career began at the age of 16. While a student in high school, Waterman worked in the Tippecanoe Public Library. As a sophomore at Purdue, Waterman was attending a literature class when a senior classmate talked about attending library graduate school.

“I’ve always been a big reader,” she said. “I knew at that time it was perfect for me.”

After graduating from Purdue, the Boilermaker attended graduate school in Bloomington to earn her masters of library science from Indiana University. Waterman started as a reference librarian at the Anderson Public Library, where she worked her way up to branch manager and assistant library director. Then, she accepted the position as Plainfield-Guilford Public Library Director where she worked since 2007. On Jan. 1, Waterman replaced David Cooper – who retired in 2011 – and became just the fifth Hamilton East Public Library Director in the library’s history, more than 100 years.

“I was very happy in Plainfield, but I was intrigued by the challenges of a library this size in two close, but different communities,” said Waterman. “The staff is very dedicated and the buildings are beautiful and in great condition.”

www.youarecurrent.com

Just days into her new position, Waterman is splitting time between the Noblesville and Fishers branches. She said her days are spent working side by side with staff members to gain a better understanding of the employees, their roles and the two locations.

“It’s important for me to be at both buildings. We’re not a main library with a branch. We’re two main libraries. I’m learning how they are different and how they are the same,” she said.

“You don’t have to come to the Noblesville library if you live in Noblesville, or the Fishers library if you live in Fishers. You can take advantage of the great resources for whatever works for you.”

Library resources include youth services, outreach services and adult programs. Waterman said the youth services include the very popular summer reading program, story time and early literacy programs.

“It keeps kids reading and keeps them engaged,” she said.

Outreach services include computer classes and mobile outreach services, which provide homebound delivery of library items and the adult literacy program – the only program of its kind in Central Indiana that offers one-on-one tutoring, adult basic education, English literacy/English as a second language, life skills and GED tutoring.

“Libraries are all about information. Whether it’s stock prices or non-fiction books, we need to make sure what we are providing is accessible to whatever our guests need,” Waterman said.

“For me, it’s absolutely vital we position ourselves to take advantage of technology.”

For residents who use iPods, Kindle, Nooks or other eReaders, HEPL provides thousands of digital books and audio books.

“I haven’t read a paperback book in over a year,” Waterman admitted, adding she recently finished a biography on Ed Sullivan and is currently reading two new releases – “In the Garden of Beasts” by Erik Larson and “Copper Beach” by Jayne Ann Krentz.

HEPL is part of a consortium of libraries that purchase the rights of digital books. The library purchases the rights to a book, and like a physical copy, only one digital book can be checked out at a time. Waterman said residents can use their library cards and PIN numbers (which must be obtained in person at either branch) and download the digital books online with OverDrive

Current in Noblesville

By the numbers The maximum number of items that can be checked out on one card.

Of those 60 items, two can be computer software, five can be DVD feature films and 10 can be music CDs.

The loan period for library items ranges from seven days (DVD feature films and CD-ROM software/ games) to 14 days (music CDs and new-release books) to 21 days (almost all other items). All library items, except DVD films, can be renewed.

The overdue fine per item per day is 25 cents on all items except DVD feature films and CD-ROM software/ games, which are $1.

The maximum fine per item is $25 on all library materials. “I don’t like charging fees. Our goal is to get items in people’s hands, get them back and then get them in someone else’s hands,” said Hamilton East Public Library Director Edra Waterman. via the HEPL website, www.hepl.lib.in.us.

“Last December (2010), our OverDrive use went through the roof,” she said.

Like physical library books, digital copies are available on loan for a set time period. Waterman said when the time ends, those books are no longer available via the electronic device; however, if a person “checks out” the same digital book, it begins right where you left off if the book was not completed.

Waterman’s goal has always been “to bring solid customer service values and a professional commitment to positive change and innovation wherever I am.” She said her focus as library director is improving customer service.

“I want our guests to have a positive experience here and leave with what they needed,” she said. “I look forward to becoming part of a new team of dedicated people committed to finding ways to inspire, create and deliver the most innovative, relevant library services possible.”

State, Amazon reach sales tax agreement

Lamb makes a difference with her students

to collect state sales taxes. Only online retailers with a physical location in a state are required to collect sales tax. Individuals are supposed to pay a 7 percent use tax for online purchases where sales tax wasn’t collected, but the DOR said that few people do.

In November, Kenley told a congressional comKenley mittee that pending legislation sponsored by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., would ensure equality between online and brick-and-mortar retailers by requiring both to collect sales tax from their customers.

A November study by the Indiana Fiscal Policy Institute and Ball State University estimated Indiana loses about $75 million a year by not collecting sales tax for all online purchases.

Of that, Daniels said the State Budget Agency and DOR estimate revenue from Amazon’s sales tax would be approximately $20 to $25 million per year.

Indiana’s current policy dates to a 2007 deal to get Amazon.com to open its first warehouse in the state that came with the promise that state lawmakers wouldn’t push for an online sales tax. Amazon now has three distribution centers open in Central Indiana and announced plans last summer for a fourth.

Current in Noblesville Gov. Mitch Daniels recently announced the state has reached an agreement with Indiana’s largest online retailer, Amazon. com Inc., to begin collecting Indiana sales tax on internet purchases – thanks in large part to a Noblesville legislator. Indiana will become the fourth state to Daniels reach such an agreement with Amazon, but Daniels and State Sen. Luke Kenley will continue to push for federal action to fairly address the issue.

“The only complete answer to this problem is a federal solution that treats all retailers and all states the same. But for now, Amazon has helped us address the largest single piece of the shortfall, and we appreciate the company working with us to find a solution,” said Daniels.

According to the agreement between Amazon and the Indiana Dept. of Revenue, the company will voluntarily begin to collect and remit Indiana sales tax beginning Jan. 1, 2014, or 90 days from the enactment of federal legislation, whichever is earlier. The state will not assess the company for sales tax for other periods.

Kenley, who chairs Senate Appropriations Committee, began talks with Amazon almost a year ago about collecting taxes. Kenley has asked Congress to require all online retailers

DISPATCHES » Study: It’s the calories, stupid – Popular diets continue to suggest that lowering or increasing certain dietary components – carbs or protein, say – is the key to weight loss.

Researchers tested three high-calorie diets in a group of 25 healthy, normal-weight people.

Each randomly-assigned diet delivered 954 extra calories per day, but the difference lay in where most of those surplus calories came from, protein or fat. Everyone gained weight, but the participants eating low-protein and, thus, higher-fat diets (carbohydrates were kept constant) gained only about half as much weight as those who ate diets with either normal or high amounts of protein.

-www.time.com » Metabolism boost – Guzzling water just before mealtime helps fill you up with liquid volume – so you wind up eating less food during the meal. In one study, dieters who drank two glasses (16 ounces) of water before

meals consumed fewer calories at meals than those who didn’t, and lost 44 percent more weight during the course of 12 weeks. For an added edge, swap out your water glasses for two mugs of green tea. Research shows green tea may be even more effective than water at curbing appetite at meals, and, as an added bonus, it gives your metabolism a slight boost.

Hidden causes of weight gain HEALTH

By Dr. Roger Spahr Have you ever watched a TV show that makes losing weight a contest? Superficially, it may seem if you gain weight, you are just an overeating, non-exercising slug. As we enter 2012, weight management emerges as one of the most frequent things for people to consider. If you are someone who eats right, exercises and feels as if you are doing everything correct and still unable to lose weight, there may be some hidden reasons preventing your weight loss.

Hormone imbalances. For men, especially older than 40, they may have reduced testosterone. For women, progesterone, estrogen and testosterone may be unbalanced. There is a strong connection between estrogens and insulin sensitivity/resistance. This is one reason women are often more carbohydrate sensitive than men.

Medications. Antidepressants, medication for high blood pressure, birth control pills and some anti-seizure medicines can affect fat burning and energy metabolism. That does not mean, however, you should stop your medicines. Ask your physician if there is an alternative.

Gastrointestinal malabsorption or inflammation. Gas, bloating, loose stools and reflux disease are frequent signs of poor digestion that lead to inflammation. Inflammation increases water retention and stress hormones, which often block fat burning.

Vitamin and mineral deficiency. You may be starving your body for cofactors, which are required to burn fat, generate energy and detoxify your body.

Too rigorous exercise. We have all heard the expression, “No pain, no gain.” However, did you know overexercising, especially in the early stages of a weight management program, can increase cortisol levels so fat is preserved? Rather than

keeping your heart rate high, spend 75 percent of your time exercising at the lower “fat-burning” heart rate. Then, bump it up for short bursts.

Low thyroid. Actually, low thyroid is less often an issue that you might think. However, persistent stress-hormone release can actually down-regulate pituitary function and yield a normal thyroid-stimulating hormone. Additionally, live in a part of the Midwest known as the goiter belt. Low iodine can lead to a swelling of the thyroid, reduce thyroid production and reduce metabolism.

Any weight loss program should include the correct exercise program and a modification of diet. However, do not leave out consideration of your digestion, supplement support for cofactors, medicine conflicts and stress and hormone factors. At Ailanto Group, we often work with patients who have struggled in the past with weight loss. The key is to find those things that have blocked progress, and correct them.

Stick to Your Resolutions!

2012 is the year to be the best “you” possible! It takes dedication and persistence to really follow through with resolutions, but with organization anything is possible. Here are a few tips to make this year fab, fit and fresh.

Fabulous Make an appointment with a personal shopper at your favorite department store to freshen up your look. We are great fans of the experts at J.Crew, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Also, stay up to date with the latest trends by following us here on the blog!

Fit Get organized! Go out and treat yourself to a brand-new planner or calendar. There is just something about scheduling a fitness date that keeps people committed to following through. When you plan a regular week, pencil in your workouts the same way you would regular meetings and other engagements. By scheduling these “appointments” to exercise you will not miss a workout!

Get new gear! When you have a brand new pair of running shoes or a fabulous and comfortable outfit you’ll be dying to get to the gym and test them out. It’s the same feeling you get when there is an incredible dress you can’t wait to wear for a big event.

Opt for personal training sessions! The start of a new year is ideal for beginning a new workout regimen and assessing your fitness level. Setting new goals, meeting a personal trainer and working together to achieve your needs is one sure way to see results. A trainer is perfect for those looking to maximize their time spent at the gym. Be sure to ask plenty of questions and look to be challenged for best results.

Fresh It’s 2012 and time for a big change! Let go of those wasteful habits and focus this year on giving back to your community and the environment. Take shorter showers, volunteer your time at a local community supported agriculture farm, remember to recycle and make time for your family. By doing things that make others feel good you’ll inevitably gain a new, fresh perspective.

How to Wear: Your Grandpa Cardigan

The “grandpa” cardigan is this winter’s favorite piece… Its comfortable, chic, and super convenient for staying warm. The only thing to remember is that you’re rocking your outfit, not your chair! To make it fun, keep the hemline of your dress or skirt short and the sweater long. Add a belt for a dressier look.

DISPATCHES » Local attorney honored – Kena Hollingsworth was named a “Distinguished Fellow” last month by the Indianapolis Bar Foundation.

This small, but select group is chosen by the directors of the Hollingsworth Indianapolis Bar Foundation as a result of their significant contributions to the legal profession, and to our community.

Hollingsworth is a founding partner of Hollingsworth & Zivitz, PC, with offices in Carmel and Indianapolis, where she practices exclusively in the area of family law and family law mediation. » Small-business owners to hire? – The December edition of SurePayroll’s Small Business Scorecard, a nationally-recognized economic indicator that tracks the health of the U.S. small business economy, was recently released. According to the report, hiring decreased 3.2 percent year-to-date nationwide, and paycheck size also decreased 0.8 percent year-to-date. However, optimism increased

to 63 percent from 53 percent the past two months, rising from an all-time low of 33 percent in September. Additionally, 50 percent of small-business owners said they plan to hire in 2012 and 56 percent intend to raise wages for some or all employees. » Make money on contributions – Internal Revenue Code Section 280(A)(g) says you can rent out your house for up to 14 days in a calendar year and all the income comes to you tax-free. Now this is what you do: 1. Rent out your house to a qualified charity or church for a meeting once a month. Call a local hotel and get their rates for a conference room to establish a fair rental amount. Say that’s $5,000 for the monthly use over the year. 2. In appreciation for all the good works the charity or church does, and not in exchange for the rental, you make a deductible contribution of $6,000. You’re in the 25 percent bracket, so that saves you $1,500 in federal taxes. What’s the result? The charity spent $5,000 and got $6,000. It’s up $1,000. You contributed $6,000 and got $5,000 in tax-free cash, plus another $1,500 in tax savings. You’re up $500.

Property protection, plans and policies INSURANCE Q&A

By Dena Shepherd Page Question from Shannon M. from Noblesville: My grown kids have moved back home thanks to the down economy and their lack of job prospects. What kind of insurance concerns should I have with this situation that seems to be getting pretty popular?

Response from Dena Shepherd Page: The down economy has hit everyone, but it’s really punished the folks graduating from college the last couple of years. You trigger some insurance issues anytime someone moves into your home. You could also be heading toward some health insurance issues depending on the age of your children. Let’s start with the property and liability issues.

Personal liability is the big issue to arise with grown kids. Everyone has a legal responsibility to handle the damage they cause to other people and their property. It can be anything from injuring someone accidently in a recreational sport, to misjudging the wind and a tree falling into a neighbor’s house. The liability falls right back on your homeowners policy if you or your child does something like that. The problem that can arise is where your grown kid actually lives. Maybe all of their stuff is under your roof, but are they sleeping there every night?

You might consider getting a renter’s policy in their name. It has the benefit of property coverage, but the main benefit is there will be no fight over liability coverage if a conflict arises. This is an important issue, and verifying with your independent agent that you and your grown kids are protected is a quick and easy thing to do.

www.youarecurrent.com

Health insurance is the other major issue that affects grown children not eligible for their own coverage. The Affordable Care Act extended the age limit children can stay on a parent’s health plan to age 26.

Many options at many price points are still available once someone exceeds the age restriction. Independent insurance agents are usually able to help you secure an individual health policy and help weigh your options. Going without coverage is an absolute last-resort option. It is extremely risky and will make it very difficult to get quality coverage in the future.

Greeting a new year of greeting cards Genealogy

By Darla Kinney Scoles I am, by my own confession, a greeting card saver. Just like my mother before me and her mother before her, I cannot toss a colorful, emotionally-filled birthday, Christmas or even get-well card into the recycle bin. To do so seems more of a sin than hoarding the shiny, thoughtfully-chosen stacks of rubber-banded messages of love and best wishes in a bottom office drawer.

As time and electronics march quickly forward, I am beginning to think this is not such a bad thing after all. One day these tactile expressions of thanks, encouragement and even just plain silliness might more-than-adequately serve as a history lesson personal to myself, my family and our life experiences.

My favorites are the notes of gratitude, carefully nestled in an easily-accessible box, where, at the moment of greatest need, I can sift through them and feel good about myself again.

Sometimes I just need a reminder I have done some good in the world, ya’ know? These tiny wonders, born of a moment of giving unselfishly, immerse me in special relationships sometimes long distances and times away, bringing the connection close and the feelings of warmth and light to my heart.

In my mind, an e-card, e-mail, thank-you text or even a phone call cannot work the

Those who bemoan greeting-card-created occasions can have their say, but in the end, these mini-documentaries of life express with lasting print, what we often zip along past as time flies and the times change. And sometimes a family’s history is more than lines on a tree, it’s the poetic lines of a Valentine.

When to improve your PLACE REMODELING

By David Decker It’s one thing to plan a custom home-improvement project and know when enough is enough.

It can be far more difficult to know when to say “now” – to know when it’s the right time to undertake a major redesign of a kitchen or bathroom. It can be as simple as questioning your home’s overall PLACE – Performance, Livability, Affordability, Comparability and Excitability. For example …

Performance – How does your kitchen or bathroom function? Do the appliances work?

Is there enough room? Enough light? Are there enough power outlets? Is the plumbing sound?

Is there adequate air circulation? Is there enough storage? Enough cabinets? How does everything work?

Livability – Is there enough room in the kitchen for all the cooks and guests who might congregate there? Is the bathroom location convenient? Is it private enough? Does the kitchen welcome and enhance multiple family activities?

Affordability – On the front end, do you have the budget? On the back end, are you wasting money on power, gas and water due to old, inefficient appliances and fixtures? Do you really know what the improvements would cost?

Comparability – What is the value of other

16 | January 17, 2012

homes in your neighborhood? What is their level of up-to-date design and fixtures? What’s the financial equation of your intended home improvement versus its effect on your home’s marketplace value?

Excitability – Do you enjoy your home?

Does it reflect your tastes and provide you with the comfort and space you desire?

Obviously the questions are endless and, honestly, people are often afraid to even seek the answers.

They assume major home improvements will cost too much or take too long. They don’t know what they want or even what’s out there to get.

Our advice is to evaluate your PLACE, and call a home improvement professional for some answers. It’ll help any homeowner to decide when “now” is the right time for improvements.

David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (317-595-9540, www. the-affordablecompanies.com). Email home improvement questions to david.decker@the-affordablecompanies.com.
