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.

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.”

Ditslear: Positron deal is safe COMMENTARY

By Kevin Kane Every economic development deal poses some sort of risk when tax dollars are involved, but Mayor John Ditslear said, in the case of the city’s new deal with Positron, he believes the potential rewards far outweigh the risks.

The Common Council Tuesday night approved a memorandum of understanding between Positron and the city regarding the financial incentive package Noblesville will give the company for its relocation and subsequent investments. More on this can be found elsewhere in this issue.

The council approved the MOU with a vote of 4-2, but council members Mary Sue Rowland and Brian Ayer weren’t the only ones at City Hall uncertain – or even against – the incentive package. As I mentioned in my column last week, there are a number of rumors and allegations regarding Positron circulating around the Internet, and multiple residents spoke before the council last week to bring up some of these allegations or offer their own personal experiences.

Dean Graham, owner of Controlled Automation in Noblesville, said his company did a significant amount of business with Positron until about three years ago when he said Positron allegedly backed out of its deal with Controlled

4 | July 19, 2011

Automation “basically overnight.” Graham claimed before the council that this move cost his company $50,000 and forced him to lay off 12 employees, or roughly half of his staff.

“They know how to pull a fast one and that’s what they do,” Graham told me after the meeting.

However, I met with Ditslear for about an hour the next day and he told me while he appreciates the concerns of those who have voiced them, he said he believes this deal is good for Noblesville.

He said he and the council are very aware of the information circulating about Positron and added that, after looking into some of these issues, that he believes much– if not all - of this information is false or misrepresented.

“You have to look into those things,” he said.

“You can’t just ignore them and we have not, nor have we ignored their financial situation.”

Still, he said that the city made a point in structuring this deal – as he said it does with all others – to protect itself as much as possible.

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 “Nothing good happens after midnight.”

Plus, if you have DVR why would anyone need to stay up late? Put your kids to bed at seven 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 shut eye.

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 eighties.

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 above 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.

When a garden equals jail time COMMENTARY

By Krista Bocko A woman is facing 93 days of jail time for growing vegetables.

Oak Park, Mich. is in the news in a bad way.

Julie Bass, who grows organic vegetables in her front yard, was cited for violating a city code.

I personally would love to see people growing vegetables in their front yards, backyards, wherever they can. I think we see enough grass already and grass is kind of high maintenance and fairly boring.

If you live in suburbia, you’re expected to conform subjective and narrow standards of what is acceptable. And growing vegetables?

Well, that’s just not OK. Backwards, I tell you. Bass has even gotten neighborhood kids interested in her garden and they enjoy helping her. That’s another one of my pet peeves—most people have a lack of access to fresh, organic food. Bass is not only growing organic food, but giving kids access to it, and she’s being punished for it.

Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, this story has exploded and Bass is getting support.

The Facebook page “Oak Park Hates Veggies” had over 23,000 “likes.” I’d love to see Bass’ neighbors plant gardens in their front yards, too.

If Bass and her neighbors all go to jail, there will be worse eyesores.

It just boggles mind that time and money may be poured into prosecuting a woman for growing a patch of vegetables. It’s definitely not worthy of being a crime. Go to jail, there will be worse eyesores—such as a sea of unmowed grass.

It just boggles the mind that time, effort and money may be poured into this case of prosecuting a woman innocently growing a patch of vegetables. Shouldn’t it a right that we should be able to line dry our clothes and grow some plants? It’s definitely not worthy of being a crime.

Eddy’s Sports Pub offering shuttle service

Immortality and grief

“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 www.eddyssportspub.com, or call 317-773-3874.

COMMENTARY

By Brenda Alexander Not too long ago, I called a friend of mine who is a recent widow. Although several months had passed, the voice on her machine shocked me into actually dropping the phone. It was her husband – also a close friend of mine.

Whether or not warranted, I was concerned. I wondered what I should do. Eventually, I spoke to her and discovered she just wasn’t able to delete his voice. It would be like losing more of him. She also said she took comfort in hearing his brother’s voice as they sounded similar.

People have sought to secure their legacies through their progeny. Children are a type of immortality. Your genetic essence shows up generation after generation.

A son may resemble his mom from the neck up, but the gait is all dad and vice versa. The essence of the parent is recorded so deeply that it shows up in muscle memory.

Children provide continuity and that continuity is immortality – of a sort. I have taken solace in my own brothers’ voices. Even after 12 years, my dad’s voice lives on through them. I see his corny sense of humor in my own son, his cleverness in my nephew.

Shortly after my father passed, I was jolted at the discovery that his lifelong friend also had died. After the initial shock, I realized the grief I felt was for my father. I knew someone who held memories and knowledge of my father that no one else held was now dead. With his loss, my father had died more thoroughly.

A charitable organization in Africa provides impoverished patients with photographs of their children. Mortality rates are extremely high and families often have nothing left when the child dies. No favorite outfit, no photograph.

What does it mean if someone lives and dies undocumented?

That takes the mortal into the realm of the ephemeral. A disconnected voice on a digital recorder has more substance.

By Jordan Fischer Current in Noblesville 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.

Couponing is a game COMMENTARY

By Jenna Larson A few months back, I wrote a column that dissed on TLC’s ridiculous show “Extreme Couponing”. While I still stand by my argument most of the people profiled are a little too extreme, and should definitely cut back (or at least be more charitable), I have developed a slight money-saving addiction lately.

I know it’s a strange interest for a 17-yearold girl. I’m fully aware. But for some reason, I think couponing is pretty thrilling.

My only rule for myself, though, is no matter how high the value of the coupon is, using it is only a good deal if it’s for a product I would buy anyway or at least know I’d use in the next year or so.

I think of it as a game. That’s what makes it fun. It’s an intellectual challenge, trying to match up coupons with sales in store ads.

The really exciting part takes place right at the register. Check-out time is the moment of truth.

Will everything ring up the right way? Can that coupon be doubled? Was all this planning a colossal waste of time?

But when everything works out according to plan, it’s so relieving.

Just the other day, at Meijer, I bought two 3 Musketeers chocolate bars for only 23 cents.

I’ve been able to snag some pretty good deals at CVS. I bought five bottles of Honest Tea (on

Family Owned

sale at five for five dollars, plus I had five separate dollar off coupons) and a package of cookies (on sale for 99 cents, plus I had a 50-centsoff coupon) for a grand total, after tax, of 84 cents. In addition, I got back two dollars in Extra Care Bucks, which is basically free money I can only use at CVS. The next day, I went back to CVS, rewards money in hand, and left with deodorant and a huge back of Lifesavers gummy snacks for only a dollar and six cents. Plus, I got one dollar back in Extra Care Bucks.

Can you see where my enthusiasm is coming from?

For anyone else interested in starting to save some money, helpful sources on the Internet make life a lot easier for beginners. I would suggest checking out www.hip2save.com or www. coupons.com before making a trip to the store.

It’s not exactly an orthodox hobby for someone in my specific age group, but the feeling that comes with a successful couponing trip is like that after winning a game. And my trophy is my free peach iced tea!

*The number of cats and dogs in the Humane Society for Hamilton County Shelter in need of rescuing

By Kevin Kane Current in Noblesville 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.

According to Stevens, this creates a “best of both worlds” system.

“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.”

To help free up space, many volunteers – like Valerie Watson of Noblesville – foster Humane Society animals in their homes, often until the animals are permanently adopted. In the past year, Watson and her husband Ryan have fostered eight dogs. She even promotes the dogs in their care on the HSHC Facebook page to help find them homes.

“If there aren’t volunteers there to help out, the shelter becomes overburdened and they have to make decisions they don’t want to make,” Watson said. “It just wouldn’t work without volunteers.”

Stevens agrees, but while volunteers help make the shelter’s no-kill philosophy possible, she 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.”

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.

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.

» July gardening tips – 1. Extend the indoor life of your cut flowers by putting them in a solution that is one part water, one part clear soft drink (such as 7-Up, Sprite, etc.), and a few drops chlorine bleach. 2. Snip off the old flower clusters from rambler roses to encourage them to bloom all summer. 3. If you have thick, thriving phlox, thin the plants to four or five stalks per clump to provide adequate ventilation and avoid mildew.

Capt. Critic’s DVD pick

Rango

PG, 107 minutes

Johnny Depp is the voice of Rango.

DVDs

By Chris Lloyd I can’t think of a movie I had more fun watching in 2011 than “Rango.” It’s a loopy and psychedelic-animated flick starring Johnny Depp as a bug-eyed lizard. A domesticated pet living in a terrarium invents companions and theatrical productions to amuse himself. He’s literally a chameleon, but not only when it comes to the shade of his pebbly skin.

He ends up lost in the Mojave and stumbles into the town of Dirt, populated by every manner of desert critter imaginable. Things are tough in Dirt- there’s a gang of tunneling thieves waiting on the edge of town, a local crime boss looking for newcomers to squish and the rumor of a slithery gunslinger named Rattlesnake Jake heading back their way.

10 | July 19, 2011

Through a combination of wild circumstances and his own far-fetched boasting, the lizard finds himself appointed sheriff of Dirt, dubbing himself Rango to better suit his new role.

Of course, there are all those aforementioned troubles he’s now expected to tackle.

Although kids will surely enjoy it, “Rango” is really a cartoon for adults, stuffed with highbrow humor and sly pop culture references.

Please note, “Rango” hits video outlets on Friday, July 15.

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. However, 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

Caprese salad with basil oil and balsamic syrup 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

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

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.

3. Arrange tomatoes, mozzarella, and remaining two ounces of basil on plates by stacking ingredients. Serve with basil oil and balsamic syrup.

Santa Maria Grilled Tri-tip Ingredients • 2 to 2 1/2 lb beef tri-tip roast • 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper • 2 teaspoons salt • 1/2 tablespoon paprika • 1 teaspoon garlic powder • 1 teaspoon onion powder • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar • 1/3 cup vegetable oil • 4 cloves crushed garlic Directions 1. Combine the black pepper, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and cayenne in a small bowl. Rub on to all surfaces of the tri-tip. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours. Remove and let sit out for 30 minutes at room temperature.

2. Add the Dijon, vinegar, vegetable oil, and crushed garlic to a jar with a lid and shake vigorously until emulsified.

3. Prepare your charcoal or gas barbecue grill for direct low/medium heat (if you want to

be authentic use soaked oak or mesquite chips too!). Place the tri-tip on the grill and brush with the oil and vinegar mixture.

Turn every 3-4 minutes, basting generously each time. Grill for 25-30 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp of 130 degrees F.). The outside of the roast will get very dark and develop a charred crust, this is desired and one of the signature characteristics of this BBQ recipe. Remove the tri-tip from the grill to a large platter.

Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing in 1/4” thick pieces across the grain.

DISPATCHES » A 10-minute milk makeover – Soak a clean washcloth in cold milk and place it over your face for 10 minutes. “Milk contains proteins, fat, amino acids and Vitamin A – all of which reduce redness and calm irritated skin,” says Dr. David Bank, a dermatologist in New York. Also, the lactic acid in milk exfoliates, so your skin should look soft and glowing.

-www.msnbc.com » Cutting salt doesn’t help heart? – In a systematic review published by The Cochrane Library, British scientists found that while cutting salt consumption did appear to lead to slight reductions in blood pressure, that was not translated into lower death or heart disease risk. The researchers said they suspected the trials conducted so far were not big enough to show any benefits to heart health, and called for large-scale studies to be carried out soon.

» Vaccine causes narcolepsy? – New data has added more evidence supporting a link between the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine and narcolepsy in children and adolescents. The findings suggest those who were vaccinated had a close to 66 percent increase in risk for the condition. The Sweden’s Medical Products Agency examined cases of narcolepsy with cataplexy reported in young people (19 years and under) in Sweden, and found out of 81 cases examined, 85 percent had received the Pandemrix vaccine before illness onset.

This spice contains natural compounds that have many of the same effects as the powerful anti-inflammatory COX-2 inhibitor drugcelecoxib (Celebrex).

Unlike celecoxib, oregano actually protects the heart by helping to prevent blood clots and irregular heart rhythms.

What is it with ‘eating clean’ nowadays?

NUTRITION

By Laura Marenco If you have been exercising for a few months and you are not seeing the results you expected your diet may be holding you back (assuming you are a healthy adult). Eating habits might make us or break us when it comes to achieving fitness benchmarks. We all have different goals, but we all strive to improve our eating habits and begin eating clean.

What is clean eating? Well, let’s put it this way, if you are eating something that came through the window of your car, something crunchy that comes out of a bag or is meat ready to eat in a sandwich, you aren’t eating clean.

Eating clean means focusing your diet on whole foods, fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains and lean meats. You must eat breakfast! Not trying to go old school, but mom was right about this one. The most important meal of the day should consist of a healthy source of protein such as egg whites; complex carbohydrates such as old fashion oatmeal, along with fresh fruit such as strawberries or blueberries. Don’t forget your healthy fats, toss some raw walnuts in your bowl and you have a revved up breakfast! Promise!

Remember to eat small meals throughout the day. It is best to eat 200 to 350 calorie meals every three or four hours, depending on your activity level and gender. The main idea here is to avoid sitting down and eating a 600 to 800 calorie meal, which will push you into a siesta in seconds.

Balance is key in all aspects of life, and our diets should also follow suit.

I am not a perfect eater, but I manage to maintain a healthy lean physique simply through discipline: weight training, cardio on most days but most of all… I eat clean 95 percent of the time.

Laura owns a Personal Training studio in Carmel, runs Fit Carmel Moms bootcamp, holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and is a nutritional consultant at Point Blank Nutritition.

When a dispute is initiated with a credit reporting agency, credit-scoring companies like FICO exclude that disputed account when they tabulate your FICO credit score. If the disputed item is, say, a credit card with a zero balance or even a low balance, having a disputed item in your credit report could hurt your credit score by changing your credit utilization rate.

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

Dough

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.

Brian Harter is with Shepherd Insurance & Financial Services.

Benefits of an automatic sprinkler system LANDSCAPING

By Mark Skipper An automatic sprinkler system is a home improvement project worth considering. Not only will it help maintain a healthy beautiful landscape, but it’s the most convenient and efficient way to ensure landscaping gets the water it needs without insufficient watering. When it is properly installed and maintained an automatic sprinkler system will also help conserve water.

A professionally or DIY-installed automatic sprinkler system is one of the best investments to make for a home. There is no easier or more cost-effective way to beautify homes, increase a house’s value while saving time and money.

However, there is more to a sprinkler system than just sprinklers. System design and installation are critical factors that will affect a system’s performance and longevity.

Along with ensuring a sprinkler system is properly designed and installed, a rain shut-off and moisture sensing devices are available. They can help cut more water and increase cost savings over the lifetime of the sprinkler system Landscaping reflects the pride taken in a home and a neighborhood. An automatic irriga-

tion system is the easiest way to keep landscaping beautiful and provide three great dividends: • Simplicity – Save time and effort. Once an irrigation system is installed hoses won’t be sprawled across a yard. There won’t be any discrepancies while figuring out water distribution • Efficiency – Since the system is automatic, it provides more free time for its clients.

• Value – Attractive landscaping requires substantial investment and careful maintenance.

An automatic irrigation system will protect that investment by assuring healthier, longer living plants and turf. Plus, installing a system is a convenience “upgrade” that will measurably increase property value.

A custom-designed irrigation system, the landscaping system will be fitted with the proper water-saving sprinklers and spray heads. Plus, a controller to automatically turn the system on and off on a precise schedule. The end result will be a likely reduction in water bills and a definite savings of time and effort.

So put away the garden hose and go automatic!

Enjoy greener grass, healthier plants and much more free time to smell the roses instead of watering them.

Nothing screams “look at me” like fluorescence, but without proper styling this trend can leave you looking more like a warning cone than an electric beauty. Here’s how to go bold without succumbing to the fates of poor taste.

Men: A Guide to Summer Trends Women are not the only ones wanting to keep up with the latest trends. A first impression really comes down to the way you look and carry yourself. Whether you are preparing for a big board meeting, getting ready for date night, or just hanging with your guys, stand out with a haircut that suits you.

Piecey: Any of these styles can be done with a more classic touch or all the way for a real trendy look. To keep it classic, your stylist can give you a conservative cut and a slight side part. Focus on a less precise part and use hair wax or pomade to play with the hair to emphasize a messy technique.

For an even bolder approach keep hair long and go for the “bedhead” style which will require layering by your stylist.

To achieve this look, use wax for thick hair or a gel-mousse for thinner strands. Apply the product using your fingers to separate strands and place in different directions. Do not overuse the product. You can always add a little more if your hair isn’t laying right.

Hairspray is a must for keeping your messy look all day long.

Front Wave: To make the front wave look classic, it’s best to imitate a natural windswept look.

To achieve this look your stylist will need to give you a medium length cut. Apply mousse when hair is wet, and blow-dry using your fingers to draw hair upward and slightly to the side of the face. Finish it off by combing your hair on towards the back of your head.

For the bolder wave, keep hair longer, which will require a bit more product. The product can also add sheen which will make the wave stand out even more. This style is fun for more formal occasions. For the “wet look” use gel rather than mouse and concentrate on the section of the hair closest to the face. Make sure to still pull hair to one side and sweep back with a brush.
