OUR VIEWS

It is our position we, in a competitive and global world, should take advantage of the math and science tutoring service provided by Rose Hulman Institute of Technology as we confront homework challenges. By calling the hotline or submitting questions online, you will get a Rose Hulman student who has been recommended by a professor based on his or her technical and communication skills. There is no extra charge for the service.

The program, which is in its 20th year, answered more than 45,000 calls and less than 3,000 online requests last year. The service is for students grades six through 12. Tutors are given state-recommended textbooks to help the student work through the program. Before calling, students should be prepared with the homework assignment, textbooks, pen, paper and a calculator if necessary. The student may need to give his or her name and school’s name. Although the tutor will not give the answer, we find this to be a valuable service to our community.

To benefit from this tutoring service, you may call the hotline at 877275-7673 or send an e-mail request to www.AskRose.org. The service is open from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

Emotional hazard

It is our position in the aftermath of the Indiana State Fair tragedy, the state must avoid reacting emotionally, but it should respond with wisdom within the bounds of the law. We know it can be difficult to eschew emotion, and we recognize one person’s wisdom is often another’s folly. Nevertheless, it seems to us so far the state has treated the victims of this tragedy as fairly and respectfully as it can.

We particularly applaud Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s decision not to raise civil union issues in defense of a lawsuit filed by the same-sex partner of a woman who died at the Fair. It’s likely Zoeller’s decision has more to do with legal strategy than his views about civil unions, and we understand arguing over civil unions may be inevitable in this lawsuit. In spite of all that, we appreciate the state is defending this lawsuit in a way that respects the role of the legislature on the issue of civil unions, and at the same time, spares a woman who suffered great loss at the fair the indignity of challenges to her relationship with her partner, in a way that a married person would not experience. We call that wisdom.

OPEN SATURDAYS

Trust fund helps late deputy’s family The aftermath of any vehicular fatality always is disturbing, but we’re even more shocked about the aftereffects of the death of Leanea Nyeayea. The former Hamilton County deputy sheriff died last week in a motorcycle crash on Ind. 37 in Indianapolis.

His passing is shocking enough. That he has left behind a pregnant wife and five children is terribly gripping. Those who encountered the 37-year-old native Liberian have said that to know him was to love him. So, now, we are asking you to love his survivors. Any Chase Bank will be glad to accept monetary donations to a trust fund for his widow and children. Please consider participating.

••• We’re looking forward to the mayoral election in three weeks. Incumbent John Ditslear is being challenged by independent Mike Corbett, who entered the fray after May’s primary election. It will be interesting to see if the challenger has been able to get through to enough of the community, considering his war chest is modest at best and he’s fighting name recognition. Still, the potential exists for an interesting Election Day – providing folks turn out to vote.

Ghosts in the ceiling COMMENTARY

By Terry Anker Since even the early tuning concerts of central Indiana’s own version of famed 15th Century Venetian architect Andrea Palladio’s Palladium, many have been struck by its formidable countenance and looming presence. But it was during a recent symphonic performance, I took a new look at the reflective nature of the suspended acoustic glass ceiling. As each and every stroke of the bow was drawn across an instrument below it was reflected in broken pieces across the panels soaring above us many stories.

It reminds us music is the sole of the hall. Like the muse called to the artist, the reflections in the panes take on an ethereal, almost surreal, quality.

Much has been written about cost and design, leadership and scandal, and venue and role. But now, is it really about the edifice or is it art?

As we glance upwards towards the heavens, we find caught in our vision the spirits brought to serenade us even as modern-day performers instill life into the notes of Mozart, Sinatra and others.

We asked, you answered. Here are the results from the recent online poll question: “What was/is your favorite part of Homecoming Week?”

4 | October 18, 2011

Although the reflections float above translucent and fragmented, they sound a chorus into the Hall as if the music had originated in the heavens rather than being reflected from below.

It is likely impossible to know with any degree of clarity what specifically motivated city leaders to undertake this project. Some might argue it was colossal ego. Others, more favorably disposition, would suggest it was an economic development move. Yet others might simply state no one else save they could undertake such an ambitious project. Does it really matter?

If we ever hope draw value from this venue, don’t we have to invite the muse to come and inhabit our Hall? And isn’t the only way to ensure its presence is by seeking the ghost in the ceiling . . . the music . . . and the song?

Teachers really rock

COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson I’ve about had it up to here (I am currently holding my right hand a foot above my head) with parents belittling, blaming and bullying teachers. Although Teacher Appreciation Week isn’t until May, I think it’s time to show a little love to those who are educating our children.

Let me tell you a little something about the teachers I know. They all get up between 5 and 6 in the morning so that they can get their kids to daycare to be at work by 7. Most of them are on their feet teaching from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. They have 20 minutes for lunch, realistically 20 minutes to return phone calls and e-mails and follow up on the child who vomited in the trashcan during second period. In the evenings and on weekends, they grade papers, plan lessons and worry about poor-performing students and kids in troubled homes. They often awaken in the middle of the night and brainstorm creative ways to engage and challenge their students. They are some of the hardest working professionals around.

But, where’s the respect? All I hear from mommy groups is, “Teachers aren’t performing and are the ones to blame for failing schools.”

That is such BS! Most teachers are doing a hell of a job, despite budget cuts and overcrowding.

Just because we are parents, doesn’t mean we have the right to criticize teachers. Few of us are licensed educators, and we simply cannot under-

stand everything required to ensure our children are receiving the best possible education. It’s great to be engaged in your child’s school, but at some point you have to let the teachers do their jobs.

They know letting a child fail is the best way to help her succeed, and when parents interfere or try to strong-arm a teacher into changing a policy or grade or decision, they actually are doing their child a disservice. At some point, kids need to fight their own battles.

But it seems some parents would rather blame teachers for their son’s low GPA or, more recently, focus all their time and energy on irrelevant issues like summer vacation start and end dates. Who cares? We should be working to get teachers more money. We should be badgering lawmakers to get rid of the unions. If we want to attract the top graduates to education, we have to start treating and paying them like professionals.

Are all teachers wonderful? No. Is every school a Blue Ribbon winner? No. But have faith in teachers. Most got in to the profession for the kids (Lord knows it wasn’t for the money) and they are truly trying to do right by them. Peace out.

Bill Kenley, Kurt Meyer and a collection of local authors create city’s inaugural literary magazine

N

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

oblesville resident Bill Kenley said the goal for the inaugural Polk Street Review was simple: “writers need an outlet – someplace to put their work.”

Collaborating with Kurt Meyer, the two Old Town residents are publishing a collection of works from local residents for local residents. The annual contains short stories, fiction and non-fiction, poetry, interviews, photography, humor and artwork.

Polk Street Review is named for Eighth Street. The street, originally named Polk Street after Isaiah Polk, has seen a lot of change since 1823, from mills that once stood at the north bend on the river to bars and liveries and hotels lining the once bustling street on the south side of Conner. Depots connected Noblesville to St. Louis, Chicago and Louisville.

“Polk Street became the line between the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ part of town, between blue collar and white collar, flood plain and high ground,” said co-publisher Kurt Meyer. “It’s touched many of the defining aspects of local life for almost two centuries. The pages will be filled with stories that straddle the same lines of local experience.”

8 | October 18, 2011

Creativity Fellowship Program grant to help fund the first year of the Polk Street Review. He said $5,000 went into printing.

“We intended to do it regardless (of the grant),” said Kenley.

“Part of my legacy as a teacher is ABOUT THE PROJECT to keep working on giving kids a place to write and express themTH E PO LK ST RE ET RE VI EW selves in stories and poetry. This NOB LESV ILLE’ S ONLY LITER ARY MAG AZIN E is an example.”

Polk Street Review includes the work of more than 40 authors – ranging in ages - and including some published residents like Charley Hopper and Meyer.

“We’ve got some real pros and real good amateurs – people with something to say and a passion for telling it,” said Meyer.

“We want people to sit down and read it for awhile.”

To collect works from authors, Meyer said he and Kenley created a Facebook page, reached out to family members and talked with former students, four of which are included in the final product.

“This is new,” said Kenley. “Literary magazines are often published through a university or you’ll see them connected to large cities or regions. As far as I know, for a small town this is pretty unusual.”

“This is the only one I’ve ever seen,” added Meyer.

Kenley said the hardest part was collecting pieces to include in the magazine.

“The challenging aspect was getting someone to put their neck out there and show their work. It’s kinda tough,” he said. “If they didn’t do it when they’re young, it’s harder to do it when they’re older.”

The duo said travel was the theme for the first edition. While When Noblesville was laid out in 1823, the main north/south route was named for William Conner’s partner, Josiah Polk.

For much of the 19th Century it was the primary entrance for those who traveled to Noblesville.

It began at a bend in the river where mills once stood. South along its route a courthouse was built, presidents spoke, and bars, liveries and hotels went up. It boasted depots for trains moving north and south, east and west. Further south past blocks of modest homes, industry sprang up and collapsed through cycles of boom and bust.

In an obvious but unspoken way the street became the line between the “good” and “bad” part of town, between blue collar and white collar, between residential and industrial, between flood plane and high ground.

Eventually, Polk Street was renamed 8th Street. As the railroads waned, the street’s importance faded. Today it’s become an alternate route for motorists avoiding congestion on more traveled roads.

The Hoosier gumbo the street’s history represents inspired the name of the Polk Street Review. The street, often taken for granted, has touched many of the defining aspects of local life for almost two centuries. The Polk Street Review is filled with stories that straddle the same lines of local experience.

“We wanted to do something to create an outlet for local writers, to enhance the cultural identity of Noblesville, and at the same time broaden the notion of what living in small-town Indiana means,” Meyer said.

“We wanted to create a publication that would not only be an outlet for local writers but also focus on Noblesville,” added Kenley. “All of the works included in the journal will either be by Noblesville-connected people or, if not by a local writer, the work would have to be about Noblesville in some way.”

Kenley is a Noblesville High School English teacher who already publishes a student literary journal each spring. He has been writing fiction and non-fiction for many years. Meyer, a Realtor, is a local writer who has written columns in a number of local and regional newspapers and has his own blog, The Hoosier Contrarian. Meyer’s first novel, Stardust, was published in 2002 and was set in Noblesville.

The two have been swapping written stories for awhile and came up with the literary magazine idea around this time last year. Earlier this year, Kenley received an $8,000 Lilly Teacher

not every piece is about travel, it is a common thread throughout the magazine.

“What does it mean to live here in a complicated way – a sense of where we live?” Kenley said.

“You really go some place,” added Meyer. “You’re traveling some place with that person.”

Kenley compared the literary magazine to the local foods movement sweeping the country.

“It’s a local arts movement,” he said. “I believe people out there will have the interest to read it because it’s local.”

At a glance Polk Street Review will be sold exclusively at The Wild Bookstore, 884 Logan St., Noblesville, beginning on Monday.

Three hundred copies have been printed. Kenley and Meyer said the exact cost is not yet known but is expected to be $15 to $20. Proceeds from the sale will go toward publishing next year’s edition of the literary magazine.

Those interested in learning more or are interested in participating in next year’s edition can contact thepolkstreetreview@hotmail.com.

The inaugural Polk Street Review includes the works of more than 40 authors, including Katherine L. Anderson, Krista Bocko, Jim Bray, Donna Light Bunce, Earl Campbell, Linda ClarkBaker, Emily Compton, Stacy Corwin, Alice B. Couch, Dick Coy, Kim Flowers, Kent Graham, Jean W.

The event’s featured speaker is Beverly Kirkhart. Kirkhart had a fairy tale life – or so she thought – until it all ended in bankruptcy and divorce in 1991 and left her penniless. Kirkhart was so destitute that she housesat when she could just to have a place Kirkhart to stay. When there was nowhere to go, she often spent nights sleeping in her car. Kirkhart joked with friends and family that at least she still had her health. Then the diagnosis of breast cancer came along in 1993, setting Kirkhart up for the fight of her life. She is now a survivor who turned her lemons into lemonade. Come hear her moving story and be inspired.

Kirkhart has helped others through their journey with her book “My Healing Companion” and co-authoring “Chicken Soup for the Survivor’s Soul.” Her own experience with breast cancer has led her to help others facing breast cancer by empowering them either through her workshops and the Breast Resource Center she cofounded with Dr. Susan Love.

In addition to hearing Beverly Kirkhart’s inspiring story, the first 100 to register will receive a copy of her book, “ChickenSoup for the Survivor’s Soul.” Cost for the evening is $5. To register, visit www.riverview.org or call 770-5835.

Wittmann 20/20 to give 10 free exams Current in Noblesville Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center is offering 10 free eye exams for breast cancer survivors in recognition of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“With all of the amazing work being done these days supporting breast cancer, it is easy to become desensitized to the enormity of the disease and it’s ruthless impact on men and women,” said Dr. Tammy Wittman. “That is unless you have it, have had it, or love someone who has dealt with breast cancer.”

Wittmann said she, her husband John, and her staff have all been affected by breast cancer, either personally or through family and close friends. Bridget Rizzo, the office manager at Wittmann 20/20, contracted breast cancer in her early 30s. After numerous surgeries and treatment, she is a survivor. Nicole Proctor, a close friend and colleague of John Wittmann, also in her 30s, kicked breast cancer just one year ago and is doing very well. Several of

Wittmann’s regular patients have shared how breast cancer has affected them as they hope to remain cancer free.

“A lot of people don’t realize that breast cancer can spread to the eye,” Wittman said.

Wanting to do something special to help, Wittmann is offering a free eye exam to the first 10 breast cancer survivors who contact her office and ask for this gift.

“I wish I could give every cancer survivor a free exam” said Wittmann, “but we will happily offer it to the first 10 people who call in and ask about this offer.

SURVIVING DIVORCE – PART TWO IN A SERIES

Previously, we offered suggestions to help you get started if you are contemplating divorce. If you are separated or filing, you’re likely to receive friendly advice from family, friends or coworkers – those who have “been there, done that”. While the advice may be well-intentioned, divorce is an extremely personal experience. The dynamics of your marriage and family are unique and you should never assume your case will be the same as someone else’s. Instead, talk with a family counselor to help you deal with the emotions and stress, and talk with an attorney to receive sound legal advice. With more than 15 years as a divorce attorney, Lanae Harden, who chairs the Family Law Practice Group at HARDEN JACKSON, LLC, offers the following suggestions to help you through the process.

Eighth-grader completes Eagle Scout project

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Life Scout Zac Cochran recently completed his Eagle Scout project, but it was no easy task for the Legacy Christian School Cochran eighth-grader. Cochran’s project was actually his third idea – his first was vetoed by Emmanuel United Methodist Church and the second was taken over by the county after he presented the idea.

“He was originally going to fix a worrisome portion of the drain by the new playground, but after contacting the county, they told him that it was too much work to be an Eagle project, the county would need to fix it,” explained Kathy Cochran, Zac’s mother.

The Cochran family has been members of Emmanuel United Methodist Church, 16000 Cumberland Rd., since January 1998. The idea for his third project came from congregation member Lamar Ziegler. For his project, Cochran redesigned the rip-rap drain that leads from the lower parking lot down from the church to the creek. He removed the stones in the run-off drain and planting a “green” bio-

swale to replace the falling rocks as well as filter out some of the pollutants from the water before it hits the creek.

Cochran said the hardest part of the project was “getting it planned out,” but digging in the ground provided the biggest surprise.

“We found a whole lot of clay and phone lines,” he said, adding although the lines were marked prior to digging, a dead line was found unmarked.

Having his other requirements completed, Cochran just has his final Board of Review before he claims Scouting’s highest rank.

“I’m done with everything else. I have twice as many merit badges as I need,” he said.

Once approved, Cochran said earning his Eagle rank would be quite an honor for him, especially since he will be the first in Troop 105 of First Christian Church.

“Less than 1 percent of boys in Boy Scouts earn the Eagle rank,” he said. “It’s a great honor and looks good on a resume.”

Cochran’s Scouting career began in Pack 111 as a Tiger Cub and continued as a Wolf Scout and Webelos in Pack 135.

“I learned a lot about patience, leadership, perseverance and always do your best,” he said.

1. Always put your children’s interests first. This seems obvious, and most parents would bristle at the implication that they aren’t. But the emotional nature of divorce can make people act selfishly or impair their ability to make rational decisions. If you’re angry at your spouse you may see the divorce as a way to make him or her pay for hurting you, but ultimately, this attitude only causes more damage to your children. Prioritizing your children’s needs is also important strategically for your case. Your willingness to act in good faith can be favorable to you if your case goes to court. Every action you take should be measured by how it will be viewed by the judge. When it comes to custody, judges are evaluating which parent places the children’s interests above their own. Questionable actions or behavior could be used by your spouse’s attorney to negatively affect you. Attorneys are trained to spin circumstances to benefit their clients. Don’t leave anything up to interpretation.

2. Be reasonable about expectations. Your lifestyle will change. Ultimately, there will be two households and two sets of expenses. And the more adversarial your divorce, the more you and your spouse will spend of your income and assets in order to divide them. Set goals and keep the big picture in mind. While you’re likely to vent your frustrations during the divorce to your attorney, don’t use your attorney as a substitute for qualified experts. Ask your attorney for referrals to a licensed therapist, divorce coach or financial advisor to help you manage those changes in your life. Consulting experienced professionals in the appropriate fields will ultimately save you attorney’s fees, while enabling your attorney to focus on what she is most experienced in: managing your case and protecting your legal rights.

Remember, these suggestions are not meant to be legal advice. You should consult an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation. Look for Part 3 of this series on Surviving Divorce in two weeks. If you have questions, you may contact our firm at 317-569-0770 or www.hardenjacksonlaw.com.

An interim committee round-up COMMENTARY

By Kathy Richardson At the Statehouse, it is interim committee wrap-up time. The deadline to file a study committee report is Oct. 31, so each committee is working hard to get their last hearings scheduled and their work completed. Committee reports are comprised of recommendations to the General Assembly on how best to address issues studied.

Below is a round-up of a few committees and what they have been working on.

Interim study committee on redistricting Redistricting is an issue I worked extensively on last session because we were constitutionally obligated to draw new legislative and congressional maps. The interim committee was charged with determining ways to improve the redistricting process going forward for 2021.

One idea discussed looked at establishing an independent commission to draw district boundaries. Twenty-one states have some sort of redistricting commission but very few of them can be characterized as independent of the legislative process.

Joint study committee on transportation and infrastructure assessment and solutions Keeping our infrastructure up-to-date is critical to Indiana’s economic health. This committee determined what Indiana’s transportation needs will be through 2035 and where those

needs are at their most critical.

The committee also discussed an issue brought up last session concerning mopeds.

The capabilities and popularity of mopeds has changed in recent years. The General Assembly needs to update the laws on moped use so moped drivers are held to the same standards as other Hoosier motorists, which would make our roads safer.

Interim study committee on education issues This committee was charged with examining superintendent pay in Indiana and identifying best practices for improving high school graduation rates. Preliminary draft legislation was presented at their final hearing calling for greater transparency when superintendent contracts are being negotiated so the public knows in advance what type of salary and benefit package is being considered. The committee supported this recommendation 8-2.

As interim committees continue to wrap-up, I will keep you posted on the happenings at the Statehouse. In the meantime, you can follow study committees by visiting www.in.gov/legislative/index.htm.

Kathy Richardson (R-Noblesville) is the state representative for District 29.

» Yelp affects restaurants – Reviews at the popular crowd-sourcing site Yelp.com are having a significant effect on the restaurant business, according to a study of more than 3,500 Seattle restaurants from 2003 through October 2009. The study found that a onestar increase in Yelp’s five-star rating scale was associated with a quarter-to-quarter revenue rise of up to 9 percent. The researcher also examined restaurants whose average ratings were within 0.1 star of each other, but which, for the purposes of a summary rating, got rounded up and down by a half-star.

That comparison confirmed the power of the stars.

Local eats: Just ask around TRAVEL

By Tracy Line “Eat local” is a trendy phrase meant to encourage Americans to support their communities by eating local produce. As a regular at the Farmers Market, I’m all for it. As a traveler, I take it a step further. While on vacation, I dine at local restaurants. In my opinion, there’s nothing better.

Dining at a local venue (versus a chain restaurant) enhances your vacation experience. Not only do I get to soak up the restaurant’s atmosphere and try the local cuisine, but I also get a bird’s eye view of the residents. In other words, I get a real feel for life in my destination. Not to mention both the food and prices are better.

But eating locally takes street smarts. Not just any old diner has quality food. So, how to find a good local restaurant, you ask? It’s really fairly simple.

Ask a resident. Most people are happy to give their opinion. So ask for it. The cashier at Publix surely has a favorite breakfast place. The man walking his dog on the beach knows which waterfront restaurant really has the best seafood.

Start chatting it up with people; you’ll get the inside scoop. It will be well worth your time.

Peruse dining Web sites. Urban Spoon, Dine.com and Yelp are great online resources for finding local restaurants. And while you’re surfing, look up ‘best of ” guides for your destination; these have great insider information. You can also review local online newspapers for food critic reviews.

Consult a guidebook. Destination guidebooks almost always have a dining section with recommendations. Here you’ll find a bit about menus, prices, overall atmosphere and even a rating.

Eating at a local restaurant helps support the community you’re visiting, and often means better food at a better price. So give it a try. . . and, bon appetite!

Stonycreek Farm’s annual Pumpkin Harvest Festival under way Current in Noblesville Stonycreek Farm is celebrating its 39th Annual Pumpkin Harvest Festival now through Oct. 31. The farm, 11366 Ind. 38 E., is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking is $5 per car on Saturday and Sunday. There is no parking fee Monday through Friday.

What began as a small pumpkin patch in 1972 has grown into a 50-acre full-service nursery and landscaping business. During the peak weekends of the Pumpkin Harvest Festival, more than 2,000 a day attend the event.

“We now have third generation families picking their own pumpkins. We take great pride in seeing children find their first pumpkin in our fields,” said Loren Schmierer, owner of Stonycreek Farm. “People say the farm is special and that they enjoy the hayrides pulled by our antique tractors through the woods to our secluded fields.”

The zip line is expected to be the new main attraction. The cost is $15 per person for anyone age 10 and up who weigh 90 to 250 pounds.

Ascend a 50-foot suspension bridge to a 30-foot high tower in the Christmas Tree Field, and then sail 400 feet across a field and over a pond.

This gives riders a spectacular view of the hayride wagons heading out to the field.

New this year is a 60-foot slide starting in a cave entrance and emerging at the woods edge.

Is Now Open!

Children’s pumpkin train Returning is the entertainment area for “kids” ages 8 to 80 featuring duck races with antique water pumps, peddle car races and the popular Giant Jumping Pillow.

Bring the entire family and enjoy the many fall activities Stonycreek Farm has to offer, which include the hayride to the pumpkin patch, a haunted house for youngsters, gourd sling shot, corn cob cannon, Kiddiepillar (inflatable), candle making, farm animals and more.

Most activities have a nominal fee.

Mums and fall decorations are available for sale in the greenhouse and the gift shop has local handmade products as well as unique fall and Christmas gifts. If you get hungry, the Country Market is open daily offering smoked ribs and turkey legs and Kettle Corn is sold on the weekends.

For more information, call 776-9427 or visit www.stonycreekfarm.net.

A Better Life

PG-13, 98 minutes

A human face on the struggle of illegal immigrants DVDs

By Chris Lloyd The best movie of 2011 nobody’s heard of is “A Better Life.� This drama from director Chris Weitz (“About a Boy�) and screenwriter Eric Eason takes a wrenching and evocative look at the debate over illegal immigration, but chooses to frame itself as a human story rather than a political diatribe.

Demiån Bichir plays Carlos, a middle-aged single father who’s been living in the U.S. illegally for more than a decade. He speaks perfect English, has a steady job as a gardener and tries to be the best parent he can to his son Luis (JosÊ Juliån), who’s at the stage in teendom when fathers suddenly become an unendurable embarrassment.

Carlos is presented with an opportunity – his boss is moving back to Mexico and offers to

sell him the truck and client list. Carlos scrapes together the money, but then tragedy strikes when a day laborer he hires to help him – much the same way Carlos got his start years earlier – steals the truck.

Self-consciously recalling the Italian film “The Bicycle Thief,� Carlos and Luis must find the truck or risk seeing their meager happiness crumble. “A Better Life� is a portrait of the American Dream, as it actually is rather than how we would like it to be.

Three stocks that will keep winning

Exxon stock price over 12 months

Exxon Mobile (XOM) –The massive deal Exxon recently inked with Russia’s Rosneft should tell you that Exxon is not content to sit on its existing reserves. The joint venture will hunt for oil in the Arctic Ocean, where estimates of recoverable hydrocarbon reserves range from 2.2 billion barrels to 7.2 billion barrels. On top of that, last year’s $41 billion acquisition of natural gas giant XTO Energy was driven by the assumption that crude oil will eventually fall out of favor.

Natural gas has been increasingly favored because it is a cleaner-burning fossil fuel, and there is a lot of it in the United States, including massive shale gas deposits in the Northeast that are being tapped with new drilling methods.

MasterCard (MA) – As the cashless revolution sets in, this stock will continue to connect consumers’ bank accounts and merchants’ cash registers.

NOW OPEN!

The biggest growth is yet to come. Even in the United States, which is leading the cashless craze, 40 percent of all transactions are still executed with cash or checks. There are fewer transactions as folks tighten their belts, yet MasterCard shares are up 47 percent in 2011 and at an all-time high. The stock is up 400 percent in the past five years.

Amazon stock price over 12 months

Amazon.com (AMZN) – In June, Amazon was visited by 282 million people, or 20.4% of the world’s online population, according to comScore. Think about that: 1 in 5 folks with an Internet connection visit the site each month.

On top of that, you have the Kindle, a source of tremendous profits and an intriguing area of potential in the years to come. If you believe all the reports, the company’s e-reader will provide an entry-level alternative to the Apple’s iPad. -www.msn.com

DISPATCHES » Timber is safe? – Harvard University has invested in timberland for many years, and Boston financial-services giant John Hancock owns 5.3 million acres around the world.

There’s a reason for all this interest. The correlation between timber and other assets is low, which means timber is not very likely to lose value when, say, stocks are tumbling.

Over the past two decades, the benchmark timber index has produced a tenfold return.

DISPATCHES » Turn off peanut allergies? – Researchers from Northwestern University found a way to tweak the immune system so that it doesn’t go haywire when foods like peanuts and eggs are encountered – in mice, at least.

The trick to turning that reaction down – or even off - is to convince the body’s immune system that these foods are safe, said NU professor Paul J. Bryce, whose study was published in the Journal of Immunology. Bryce and his colleagues discovered that they could block that reaction by taking a bit of peanut protein, wrapping a white blood cell around it and then injecting the altered cell into an allergic mouse’s body. Once the immune system spots the protein lodged in a white blood cell it recalibrates, now designating the protein as safe.

» Vitamin E raises cancer risk? - Researchers studying Vitamin E supplements as a way to reduce men’s risk of prostate cancer found they actually had the opposite effect, increasing the risk slightly, according to a recent study. The findings, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, are based on long-term follow-up of participants in a large cancer-prevention trial. An increase in cancer was originally noted in the study’ s Vitamin E-only group, but the results weren’t statistically significant. The follow-up, however, which tracked the health of about half the trial’s original 35,000-plus participants, found a 17 percent increase in prostate cancer compared with men who took a placebo.

If you must replace a meal with an energy bar, choose one between 200 and 300 calories; for a snack, shoot for 150 calories or fewer. Opt for a bar with whole grain as the first ingredient, such as brown rice, whole wheat, or whole oat flour. And the shorter the ingredient list, the better.

County autism support group gets new name, mission

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Last Saturday, the Hamilton County Autism Support Group changed its name, and its mission.

The organization’s new name is the Indiana Autism Scholarship Foundation. Its new mission is to provide scholarship funding for employment, vocational and college assistance to individuals ages 15 and above with autism.

Formed in 2006, the organization was originally founded to provide a supportive atmosphere for families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. That support function will continue as the Central Indiana Autism Support Group, presented by Noble of Indiana, formed in 1953 to serve individuals with developmental disabilities.

“There is much excitement about our new direction and focus on older young adults and adults with autism,” said Jane Grimes, president and founder of the organization, in a written release. “This is an age group that has been underutilized and without much support for so long.”

According to Scott Fogo, director of autism

www.youarecurrent.com

and medical rehab services at Indianapolis-based Easter Seals Crossroads, an organization providing disability services and care for families with special needs, transitions – such as those from high school to college or a career – can be a particularly difficult for those affected by autism.

“Whether facing the impact of work and independent living, or continuing in their educational pursuits, young adults with autism need increased support,” Fogo said. “Service providers are strug­gling to meet those needs since the demand is often greater than the funding for these services.”

Fogo said he hopes the work of the Indiana Autism Scholarship Foundation will assist those facing the challenge of transition.

“The key is working with teenagers early, partnering with those who provide the needed services and continuing to support those on the autism spectrum throughout the transitions of life,” he said.

Fact or Fiction?: Crossing Your Legs Causes Spider Veins As a dietetic student I am always keeping up with the latest research and using my reasoning skills to stay informed. Recently, I overheard a group of women discussing whether or not crossing your legs causes spider veins and immediately I was intrigued. These topics are always coming up in conversation so let’s see if this tale is a truth or myth.

Fact A spider vein is a broken capillary that lies just below the skin’s surface.

By about 50 years old, roughly half of the female population has them.

Their appearance is largely hereditary.

Fiction Spider veins are caused by crossing your legs.

You can avoid them–what you can do: To slow the development of unsightly veins, frequent exercise is important. A healthy diet and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing can also reduce your likelihood of developing vein visibility.

Borrowing space from a closet to create larger shower REMODLEING

By Larry Greene ORIGINAL HOME: This home located in the Meridian Hills area of Indianapolis was built in 1969.

The current homeowners have lived there for 17 years. The home was originally built and designed

by Avriel Shull, a famous architect well known for her stunning mid-century modern designs. The bathrooms had not been remodeled at all since the home was built. “We’ve lived in this home for 17 years and we decided it was time to remodel two of the three bathrooms for now”, said the homeowner.

CREATING NEW SPACE FOR ENLARGED SHOWER: The existing master bath shower felt small and closed in due to the size and the bulkhead located above. The solution was to eliminate the existing adjacent linen closet and increase the footprint of the shower and elimi-

nate the tub and the drywall bulkhead. According to the homeowner, “The new tile work in the master bath is absolutely stunning. We used to have to climb into the tub/shower to take our showers. We took out our linen closet to help make room for the enlarged shower. We love the big walk-in shower.”

MASTER BATHROOM DETAILS: The shower walls include new Arizona Beige ceramic tile extendBefore ing to the ceiling with Butera accent tile and a 14”x14” storage niche built into the wall. A new semi-frameless glass shower door and enclosure was installed with a brushed stainless finish and a D-pull handle.

FAVORITE FEATURES: The homeowner commented, “We completely gutted the bathroom including the ‘then’ popular bulkheads over the shower. We absolutely love the Cambria countertops. We went with Burton Brown with

After standard edging in the hall bath. We went with Cardiff Cream in the master bath. The new cabinets we chose for both bathrooms are just gorgeous.”

My brother’s exciting life COMMENTARY

By Mike Redmond My brother P.D., known to the rest of the world as Patrick, is out in Lost Angeles (and yes, I meant to spell it that way) covering the manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, the Michael Jackson doctor.

He’s a video journalist running a remote camera in the courtroom. Basically, he sits in another room watching video and making camera adjustments with a joystick. Welcome to the exciting world of Bigtime Courtroom Journalism.

If you’ve seen any of the trial video – I keep meaning to watch it but somehow it always manages to slip my mind, probably because I’m doing something productive – and you see video of the defendant sitting at his defense table looking defensive, then you are watching my brother’s work.

P.D. followed me into the newspaper business, which wasn’t exactly original, seeing as how I followed a path blazed by our father (also named Patrick, which shows yet again we Redmonds need to find something else to do).

However, TV, the Wicked City Woman of American Journalism, had wiggled her hips and enticed my brother into the life he now enjoys.

I have to admit it has taken him to some interesting places. He worked for several years

in Detroit, which I liked because the Tigers and Red Wings play there. In fact, there’s a picture of the Red Wings in Joe Louis Arena showing off a freshly-won example of their many Stanley Cups, and if you look closely you can see my brother off to the side with his TV camera.

We’re talking brush with greatness here.

He also spent several months in Baghdad. I wasn’t in any hurry to visit him, especially after he sent the picture of the AK-47 round that came down through the roof of his Government Issue domicile. That one came through e-mail attached to a note saying, “Don’t show this to Mom.” He did say after living in Detroit, Baghdad wasn’t that frightening.

Now he’s out in LaLaLand keeping an electronic eye on the Murray trial during the week and exploring the city on weekends. One expedition lead him to a junk shop that had a copy of one of our favorite records from kidhood: Homer and Jethro’s “The Old Crusty Minstrels.”

He called to tell me he would bring them home for me. So despite the influence of television, at least he still has respect for the classics.
