Subsidy or interference?

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that if the answer to our current economic malaise were as simple as taking money from productive folk to subsidize “technology” that would otherwise fail in a free economy, it would in fact be simple enough for Washington’s “fixers” to manage. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. There is socialism and there is capitalism. History is very definitive on which system succeeds and which ultimately crashes and burns.

It seems to be the point of view of our vice president that subsidizing manufacturing companies to produce electric car components and then subsidizing buyers of electric cars will assure a bright future. We disagree and believe the free market is the only measure of success of any enterprise. For now, electric cars have not and likely will not be successful on their own merits. Is there a big demand by car buyers for very small vehicles that will need a lengthy recharge every 40 miles or so?

With our federal debt closing in on the level that has caused turmoil in Europe, we believe that our representatives in Washington should refuse to rubber stamp the president’s request to once again raise the debt limit.

Welcome home

It is our position that the arrival of the to-bebuilt Mormon Temple in Carmel located at 116th Street and Spring Mill Road reflects not only the growth but also the expansion in ethnic and religious pluralism Hamilton County has embraced these last many years. With the nearest Mormon temples currently in Chicago, St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, we find it a sign that Hamilton County continues to appear prominently in the national spotlight.

Whether the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints expresses a point of view consistent with those already living in our fine home county, we are pleased that church leaders know this place is friendly and broad-minded. Aren’t the growth of a community and the diversity of its people directly linked?

Fine schools, family friendly neighborhoods, low taxes, high employment and great amenities – all describe reasons why folks seek a home here. Over the last few years, many churches, temples and synagogues have built or expanded their presence. We are pleased by the location of the uncommon edifice here, and we look forward to it and its members contributing, as those religious institutions that have come before it, to the vibrancy and character of our hometown.

Had they not been on their game, it could have been so much worse.

••• If you were among the more than 2,000 folks that participated in the official opening of The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, you know full well what that hall (and the theatres in development) will mean to our county and beyond.

If you haven’t experienced it, please make a point to do so. It’s stunning. er

The Grand Park Sports Campus is taking shape, and Westfield Mayor Andy Cook rightfully expects it to accelerate in the wake of an amateur-youth baseball team, LIDS Indiana Bulls, committing last week to locate there. As Current reported last week, the Bulls would be the premier user for the city's proposed sports park. Situated on approximately 300 acres at U.S. 31 and 191st Street, the plan is to have it be a part of a 1,700-acre, approximately $2.3 billion development. The park itself should be open at some point next year with more than two dozen baseball and softball fields and three dozen soccer fields (which also could be used for football, field hockey, lacrosse and rugby). Cook says more than 100,000 annual visitors could venture to the city for the Bulls’ tournaments alone. That’s a massive economic bonus, and it’s something the city sorely needs and deserves.

••• We’re particularly impressed with how quickly and expertly the streets personnel in the community reacted to the approach and landing of last week’s ice storm, the worst we’ve seen here in 25 years. The plans to keep the main thoroughfares and secondary roads open and as free of that aggravating ice as possible were well executed. We had occa-

Exceptionally optimistic COMMENTARY

By Terry Anker Last week, I escaped the winter to abundantly sunny Santa Barbara to participate in a conference as a part of the 100th birthday celebration of Pres. Ronald Reagan. The purpose of the colloquium was to consider Reagan’s changing perspective on a number of topics including liberty, shared prosperity and the U.S. role in the world order. We were assigned to read a number of speeches presented by the “great communicator” and a few additional analyses from academics and pundits, both supportive and critical, of the president.

My age allows that many of the remarks I had witnessed live, along with the rest of the world, as they were delivered. But the earlier ones, including those given during the years that he was an active Democrat and leader of the Hollywood union, the Screen Actors’ Guild, were new to me.

In 1957, speaking to the graduating class of his alma mater, Eureka College in Illinois, Reagan said, “This is a land of destiny and our

forefathers found their way here by some Divine system of selective service gathered here to fulfill a mission to advance man a further step in his climb from the swamps.” Then in 1964 he called America the “last stand on Earth.” By 1974, in a world tired of guerrilla war in Southeast Asia, he claimed, “Our heritage does set us apart.” Throughout his life as both a private and public man, he believed that America was different; some call it exceptional.

Was he onto something or simply chauvinistic? Can we frame our lives as merely striving to escape our sinful and evil selves? Or is it better said to imagine that we are striving towards our innate best and most productive destiny?

Perhaps it is “exceptionally” optimistic, but I embrace the latter. Thank you, Mr. President, and Happy Birthday.

Wondering if I will ever really retire COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson I am so my mother. We have different coloring, sure – she’s more auburn than red and has brown eyes – but we have the same build, the same interests, and very similar personalities. Doo even calls me “Patty” whenever I buy a $100 sweater on sale for $2.89 or put away slightly dirty dishes. (My mom is known for her bargain-finding skills and somewhat sub-par kitchen sanitation standards.) And the older I get, the more like her I become. It’s like having my own crystal ball.

So I just don’t know how to feel when I see my mom still working, even though she technically retired in June. She was a public school teacher for 30 years, took a few months off, and is now back on board as a social studies mentor for the county and a student-teacher advisor for the local university. My retired mother is in a classroom somewhere in the city three to four days a week. And my dad’s the same way. He stepped down from the circuit court bench a couple of years ago but continues on as a supposedly “part-time” senior judge, though he’s still in a courtroom almost daily.

You’d think after finally reaching the age

where they can kick back and enjoy the grandchildren, my parents would have relished the no schedule, no routine of retirement. But the fact is, they love going to work. More precisely, they love what they do. Dad even told me that after his five-year senior status tenor is complete, he’s going to hang out his shingle and practice law again. He’ll be over 70!

And Mom said that this summer, when she doesn’t have any teachers to work with, she’s going to grade AP history exams and hopefully, fingers crossed, work as a gown consultant at the bridal boutique down the street. (That’s something else we have in common – an addiction to TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress.” Gotta love Randy!)

Huh? Where’s the downtime? Where’s the “I worked for 40 years so I don’t have to now” mentality? And why do I have a sneaky suspicion that I will be the same way?

It all boils down to this: My parents are some of those few people who truly have a passion for their careers, and they aren’t going to let a silly little thing like age keep them from pursuing those passions. Plus, working keeps them young.

They wake up each morning with a purpose, with the opportunity to engage in the world and make a difference. Without question, if they

had nothing to do, they’d age 10 years in a matter of weeks and probably kill each other out of sheer boredom. And that certainly wouldn’t earn them any employee of the month awards.

Not that it’s all work – Mom and Dad actually leave tomorrow for a three-week cruise around Tahiti – but they certainly are not your typical social security collectors. Hell, they’re still contributing! And to be honest, I’d much rather have my parents busy and productive and fulfilled than have them morph into meddling, bitter, unhappy old people because they no longer feel needed or useful.

So I suppose this entire revelation means I need to make peace with the fact that, like my mom, I will never really retire. And that’s probably a good thing, since spending a month in the South Pacific sounds pretty good to me. “I’m gonna wash that man right out of my hair!”

(Did I mention Mom and I adore Broadway? I am so my mother.) Peace out.

Fiscal responsibility, transparency key for mayoral candidate

By Margaret Sutherlin Current in Westfield Westfield business owner Russell Cameron announced his intent to run for the mayoral primary against incumbent Mayor Andy Cook official only a few weeks ago, though he said it was something he had been considering long before.

After serving as a Westfield Washington Township Advisory Plan Commission committeeman, and though newly annexed into Westfield, Cameron is confident that his abilities and experience will allow him to be a better leader as Westfield continues to grow into its city status and bring in economic development.

“I felt that now was the right time in my life, and my family has always been a part of Westfield’s community,” said Cameron. “I am not sure about the hodge podge way things are developing now. I think there is a better way to approach development with a solid economic model that matches spending with budget liabilities.”

Cameron places his highest priorities on transparent and fiscally responsible local government.

A supporter of creating an even better quality of life for Westfield residents, Cameron had said often that he wants to be more certain of expenditures and financial plans before moving forward on some plans for the community, including the Grand Junction project and sports complex, questioning methodology and the transparency

6 | February 8, 2011

of the commissions and city’s decisions often.

“I think last week’s announcement of the Indiana Bulls [coming to the Grand Sports Complex] was a bit premature,” said Cameron. “The contracts aren’t signed and the deal isn’t done, and I am not sure we know who pays for this. How much do tax payers have to pay? We don’t have a successful TIF district yet to pay for these things.”

Cameron has often said he’s skeptical of how the money will be raised with a TIF district that looks underdeveloped now, and how long it will take before the US-31 and State Road 32 improvements will help make it a viable source of income.

A supporter of increasing the number of available trails and parks, and creating a great quality of life for Westfield, Cameron has remained carefully optimistic and repeats often that he would rather see as much information up front to make a more complete cost-benefit analysis before making significant financial decisions for Westfield.

Cameron said though he was anxious to see a downtown that was unique with historical flair and something that paid homage to the city’s Quaker foundation and history with the Underground Railroad, he wanted to make sure it was always done responsibly and transparently, with open documents and open meetings at more accessible times for residents to attend, and getting meetings recorded and online for easy access.

How to survive an ice storm COMMENTARY

By Ken Kingshill The Great Ice Storm of 2011 so far seems to be the equal of, if not superior to, the storm of ’98.

Back in ’98, my wife and I were experiencing our first real winter in Indiana. Of course, we had no idea what we were doing. That storm started with rain, then freezing rain, then snow, then a thaw, then more freezing rain, then ice, then snow and so on. In the span of about 24 hours, we ended up with at least two feet of layered snow and ice. We were snowed in for four days. Our only contact with the outside world came on about day three when our neighbor across the cornfield visited on her snowmobile.

Things got a little tense after that because my wife needed to get to the airport to go on a business trip. Try as I might, I could not make any headway on the driveway. The snow shovel was no use. I even tried taking a sledgehammer to the ice, but didn’t get very far. I finally took my shovel out to the road and made a show of clearing the driveway by the road, looking as pathetic as possible, in hopes that a plow-equipped vehicle would stop and help. After what seemed like an hour, a kindly man did stop and we negotiated a deal. I had no idea whether it was a fair deal, but at least my driveway got cleared and my wife was able to get to the airport. Fast forward to 2011. Things are different now.

carmel.stvincent.org

We’ve got 14 or so winters under our belt. Now we have kids. That makes all the difference in the world.

Did you know that freezing rain (or ice, or sleet, whatever it is) makes great snow cones?

I’m telling you, there’s nothing better, aside from maybe real glacier ice, than natural ice that falls from the sky. It lasts a lot longer and retains the flavor better than shaved ice.

One of the boys got the idea to skate in the front yard and tried it. Before you knew it, the whole family was out front on our skates. It was a little rough, and our skates broke through more often than not, but there’s nothing like skating up and down the driveway, around the trees, and into the cornfield. The only problem for me was that there was no wall to skate up to when I got in trouble. I guess that’s what trees are for.

To those who were hurt in any way by the storm, I offer my sincere sympathies. To those, like us, that managed to ride it out without much inconvenience, hopefully it provided some memorable moments.

Westfield’s Welcome Mat Chamber of Commerce celebrates 30 years of community and business building

By Margaret Sutherlin Current in Westfield The Westfield Chamber of Commerce has a unique place in the fabric of the Westfield community, as not just a business organization, but an organization focused on the community in its entirety.

Celebrating their 30th anniversary, the Westfield Chamber has come a long way from the early business luncheons and the years when it was just a business association. Now a growing and integral part of the Westfield landscape, the chamber is looking to continue its tradition of supporting the entirety of Westfield through the business community.

Founded in 1981, the Chamber of Commerce was at first, just a new title for the Westfield Business Association, which had been meeting for several years prior.

Luncheon meetings, speakers and educational programming, and a

growing membership, and eventually the Chamber started to shape itself as a major player in the community of Westfield.

Hal Montgomery, a member of the original business association and founding member of the Chamber, still attends the Chamber’s meetings and is very involved in the developing business community of Westfield. “The chamber has really grown considerably. When we started we only had only just a handful of businesses attending meetings,” said Montgomery. “It really works to tie a variety of organizations together, from the town to businesses to schools.”

A Community Organization With the Chamber since 1993, executive director Julie Sole has seen the Chamber grow and develop into a really community conscious organization that participates as much in economic development, as it does the farmer’s market and community events. The Chamber works closely with other community organizations, such as the Westfield Youth Assistance Program and the Downtown Westfield Neighborhood Association, to create and host events and meetings for residents to not only get to connect with each other, but for businesses to get further involved in the community. Sole said the Chamber really takes to heart its mission statement “to be active in all aspects of community life.” It’s not just a good business practice but also as a good citizen responsibility at the Chamber.

“I think our chamber is especially community minded,” said Sole. “We are about the community as a ‘whole’ and I think that through the Chamber we really have been successful to promote this holistic sense, and really connect businesses and the community. We are kind of a welcome mat to the community.”

Many members of the Chamber volunteers in some capacity in the community, and the 30th anniversary for Sole and also former Chamber president Randy Graham is the time to get as renew the commitment to Westfield and get as many Chamber members involved as possible. Graham said the Chamber is especially outstanding when business owners can lend their expertise to projects in an advisory role. Graham said the Chamber had several active voices

in the development of the Heart and Soul clinic as well as the Farmer’s Market.

“As the new community committee chair, one of my top priorities is to get business owners out in the community, especially as mentors in the Westfield Youth Assistance Program, and develop more scholarship opportunities and such.”

For Businesses Creating the connection between community and business however is only one part of how the Chamber views its role in Westfield, however. For local business owner Keltie Domina, the Chamber of Commerce was an integral resource for her to start and build her catering and restaurant business, Keltie’s.

“I started going to the meetings a few times before I have even opened, just to get involved,” said Domina. “My business would not be where it is without the Chamber’s support. Helping with marketing, getting the word out fast and always supporting me the Chamber has been invaluable. They make each member feel truly special.”

Acting as a conduit of information for business to business development, the Chamber has often been the teacher on economic issues and development, from keeping business owners apprised of the US-31 and State Road 32 expansion to navigating the finer points of taxes and networking.

Now with more community organizations, the Chamber hopes to find more ways to stay relevant in the expanding business community of Westfield. Anticipating needs, helping to reach out to new and old businesses, and bringing in more members are all priorities for Sole.

“I think we want to continue to strengthen this wonderful community and offer more opportunities for people to simply interact and get to know each other. I get the sense here that in Westfield, everyone moves the same direction and we’re on the same team going forward, and working together.”

Stop with the apostrophes GRAMMAR

By Brandie Bohney I recently visited the doctor’s office. Don’t worry, faithful readers.

I don’t have any dangling modifiers, and I’m not in need of a semicolonoscopy.

Two signs in the office parking lot were in definite need of a delicate surgical procedure (one which could easily have been avoided with preventative care, by the way). An apostrophectomy. Yes, readers, the parking lot signs in question contained superfluous – and downright wrong – apostrophes.

You may recall the annual plea I make to holiday card writers that they not make their family name possessive. I’m now making a plea to anyone who makes or requests signs. Especially signs of a permanent nature.

Stop using apostrophes for plurality!

The sign in question is the one you see in the photo. The question I have about this sign is this: Physician’s what?

Using an apostrophe in Physician’s indicates possession, so you have to ask what it is that belongs to the physician that is allowed in the parking lot. Now, I have to tell you: the lot this Job #: 23837 sign graces has numerous parking spaces.

Final Size: 5.1"And x 5.4" Folded Size: N/A

since the sign only indicates one physician, I’m guessing it’s something pretty big. An elephant, perhaps? A helicopter?

A yacht?

There are two of these signs in the parking lot, but there are also other parking signs that are correctly punctuated: Ambulances Only, Visitors Only, and Patients Only. So someone knew how the signs should read. Why don’t they all read that way?

Regardless, it’s a good reminder of two things: the importance of proofreading and apostrophes do not show plurality. Remember, apostrophes are used to show ownership of something (as in the case of Mark’s shoes or the children’s games or the shoes’ laces) or to indicate that letters have been left out (as in the case of contractions, such as you’ve or don’t). So if you just want to show that there is more than one of something, you don’t need the apostrophe.

You’ve never seen this before

By Brandie Bohney Current in Westfield Christy Clinton, the director of The Belfry Theatre’s upcoming production of “Don’t Talk to the Actors,” is a big fan of the play’s bard, Tom Dudzick. Such a fan, in fact, that when she found out about his latest show last year, she contacted him immediately asking to secure a copy to pitch for The Belfry’s current season.

“I’m very fond of his writing, and I’ve been watching what he’s been putting out. When I saw this one, I inquired about it, and he actually emailed me a copy of the script pre-publication,” Clinton said. “That’s how I was able to propose it before it was published. So no one else is doing [the show], and I’m pretty excited about that.”

Other than merely being the first theatre in the area – perhaps the whole Midwest – to be doing the show, there are other reasons to be excited about “Don’t Talk to the Actors.” The comedy centers around Jerry Przpezniak (played

by Neil Eggeson), an unknown playwright discovered quite accidentally and thrust into the madness and pressure of Broadway.

“He is a milquetoast hick from upstate New York; it’s kind of the big time for him,” Eggeson said of Jerry. “He’s taken in very quickly.”

Jerry’s misadventures include his fiancé’s obsession with one of the actors in the play,

Jerry (Neil Eggeson) voices concerns to his fiance, Arlene (Tanya Haas).

the antics of a former lounge-act comedienne brought in as the big name leading lady, and Jerry’s own insecurities among other things.

Dana Lesh plays the fashion-challenged stage director Lucinda Shaw.

“When you rehearse it over and over and you’re still just dying with laughter,” she said.

“That’s a great script.”

“Don’t Talk to the Actors” opens this Friday, Feb. 11, and runs for three consecutive weekends. Friday and Saturday night curtain times are 8 p.m., and there will be two Sunday matinees – Feb. 20 and 27 – opening at 2:30 p.m.

Give your sweetie a Valentine’s Day meal with swagger COMMENTARY

By Jonathan Kirchner With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, millions of people are beginning to search for the perfect reservation or recipe to make their special day most memorable. Whether you are taking your special someone out for dinner or celebrating with a home-cooked meal, I’ll leave you with a couple of great menu ideas that will be sure to please your loved one over this special weekend.

I believe the first course always makes a huge impact on the rest of the meal. My wife and I have always loved oysters on the half shell accompanied by a champagne or sparkling wine. I favor Chesapeake Bay blue point oysters, and I almost always pair them with Moet & Chandon Imperial Champagne from France or Domaine St. Michelle sparkling wine from Washington state. Or, you could try oven roasted Dungeness crab-and-artichoke dip (see accompanying recipe).

For the second course, I would recommend either a soup or a salad. If you would like to continue your meal on the lighter side, a nice spring greens salad with red-wine vinaigrette is a perfect choice. If you would like something a little more decadent, I would suggest lobster bisque with crème fraiche, or if you’re a vegetarian, tomato basil soup always is a sure hit.

Entrée choices are usually the toughest, especially if you each prefer something different; this is why many couples prefer to dine out on the holidays. One of my favorite special-occasion dishes is Filet Wellington, and I would recommend pairing this with Chateau St. Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

If you prefer seafood, I find seared sea scallops with scallop butter and cilantro oil paired with Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay is a great choice. Being a native of the Pacific Northwest, I’m always a sucker for salmon, and I’ve recently turned to an old favorite, peppercorn-crusted salmon with honey beurre blanc. You can go either white or red with this dish, but up in Seattle, we like to pair salmon with Pinot Noir,

The Clear Choice in Physician-Guided Skin Rejuvenation February Specials at ClarityMD:

Oven-roasted Dungeness crab-and-artichoke dip serves 4 Ingredients: • 1/2 lb of Dungeness or King Crab meat • 1/2 qt. Hellman’s mayonnaise • 1/2 lb Artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped • 4 oz. Powdered parmesan cheese • 4 oz. Yellow onions, sliced paper thin and quartered Garnish: • 3-4 Toasted croutons • Italian parsley • 1 lemon Directions: In a large mixing bowl, combine crab meat, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese and onions. Place mixture in a large baking dish and heat crab dip to 140 degrees. Remove from oven and garnish with 1 teaspoon minced Italian parsley, coarsely chopped croutons and juice of ½ lemon.

Love yourself this Valentine’s Day! Specials end February 28th, 2011

so I would suggest either Erath or Willakenzie Estate, both from Oregon.

The finale is just as important as the prelude, so remember that a sweet tooth is also one of the fastest ways to one’s heart. Chocolate? Pretty much a no-brainer; I am a huge fan of the molten-center chocolate cake. Crème brûlée is another timeless favorite with whipped cream and seasonal berries. If you want to finish off in true Valentine’s Day fashion, keep that bottle of champagne on ice and finish the other two glasses with chocolate-covered strawberries.

I wish all of you a happy and romantic Valentine’s Day. Jonathan Kirchner is the restaurant supervisor at Kincaid’s Fish, Chop and Steakhouse, 14159 Clay Terrace Blvd., Carmel. For more information, you may reach him at 575-9005 or at jkirchner@r-u-i.com.

Great Harvest is, first and foremost, a bakery. But beyond bread, the store offers sweets, sandwiches, soups, catering and coffee. Mike Lubin owns the store with his wife Dia. “All those things together were appealing to me as a business owner.” Lubin said. Located just north of Carmel Drive on Old Meridian Street, Great Harvest is located in a booming area.

“We looked at 30 spots for the business. There’s a nice combination of residential, medical and offices in this area.” Lubin said. The store opened in June of last year, bringing a new and unique option to Carmel. “Everything is made from scratch.

We mill wheat here in the store daily. That’s what differentiates us. We’re adding a healthy option to the community.” Lubin said. One of the store’s most popular breads is their Honey Whole Wheat version. “Our staple bread is the honey whole wheat. It’s good for everything.” Lubin said. Five simple ingredients go into the 100% whole grain bread: whole wheat flour, honey, yeast, filtered water and salt. Other popular options are Cinnamon Chip, Popeye and Cheddar Garlic breads.

Great Harvest is also well-known for its sweets, including scones and cookies. Because only freshly-made bread is sold in the store, two donations of leftover bread and other products are made each week. One goes to Gleaner’s Food Bank and the other goes to Hamilton Village Church in Fishers. The store is located at 12505 Old Meridian Street. Great Harvest is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. For more information, call (317) 575-8800 or visit www.carmelgreatharvest.com.

DISPATCHES » Untuck the button-down – Unless you’re 6’3” and 200 lbs. or less -- let the panels loose. The way buttondown shirts are cut, they simply do not flatter most male physiques – especially those of the average American male in his 30s. Yes, this might mean you. You have to be a lean, mean fighting machine to get away with the ultra tight tuck. And even then it rarely looks great.

Use peptide-packed Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Ultra Lift and Firm Moisture Cream SPF 30 ($68; elizabetharden.com) during the day and Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Deep Wrinkle Filler from Ageless Intensives ($19; shop.neutrogena.com) with retinol at night—its narrow tip traces directly over lines.

-wwwhealth.yahoo.net » Shine brightly – Using a luminizer is a great way to emphasize your already-glowing skin. Celebrity makeup artist Darac suggests going for one that has holographic properties such as “nanospheric optics” shaped in hearts, clovers, and stars (“When light hits them," he says, "it bounces off in different directions and tricks the eye.”) He also recommends choosing skin-perfecting makeup with hyaluronic acid, which “provides hydration and protects skin from the dryness of fall and winter.”

DECORATING

By Vicky Earley Whether you’re a beginner in interior design or seasoned professional, knowing your innate interior decorating style can help you focus on the pieces which will work to polish a room and which pieces to leave at the store.

If you are a do-it-yourself beginner, just knowing the basic interior design styles, casual, formal, contemporary and traditional, is a start. When rooms ramble between these styles, the result can become cluttered and chaotic.

Without a doubt, traditional style remains the most popular for decorating. If a classic and refined look that is comfortable and inviting, your style probably has a traditional bias.

This blend of gracious and inviting living evokes images of understated elegance and the grand style of the 18th and 19th century paired with warmth and classical comfort from our childhood homes.

Before you if you equate traditional with stodgy, consider that there is a direction toward a fresher, more relaxed approach.

If a trendier look is your comfort zone, your style might be modern or contemporary. While this style is easy to identify, it is one of the most difficult to execute.

The clean lines, polished surfaces, strong geometric shapes and asymmetry of modern design can sometimes appear cold and uninviting.

If done well, it can actually promote a sense of serenity to the room. If your tendency is contemporary, avoid going over the top and slowly incorporate modern pieces into softer elements to insure that your space remains polished but livable.

If you long for a space that is homey, warm, comfortable, and inviting, your style is probably casual.

Casual rooms have simple details, textured elements in fabrics and accessories, soft upholstery, and arrangements that avoid perfect symmetry.

Casual decorating includes the more specific styles of decorating such as Lodge/ Rustic, French Country, Cottage, and Shabby Chic If you find yourself longing for the feel of the lobby of Chicago’s Palmer House Hotel, your style is formal.

While homes today are typically not constructed with 18” baseboards or elaborate carved plaster ceiling, there are elements of the formal style of decorating that can be added to the home of 2011.

One of the most distinguishing features of interior spaces and homes decorated in a formal style is the symmetry of windows, furniture, artwork, and flooring. These elements are most often arranged in exact pairs on a straight axis around the room.

Furniture and accessories look as though they’re adorned with hand-carved accents and gold leafing while pillows and draperies are dressed with tassels and trims.

Lighting fixtures of crystal with delicate silk shades complete a formal look.

Finally, match your colors with the interior design style you choose. When your decorating project is complete, you’ll see that the room has improved greatly when an appropriate color combination is paired with your interior design!

Benefits of Massage Therapy

• Hair • Skin • Nails • Massage

We use our muscles in everything we do. The act of standing still takes about 300 muscles alone, so imagine how many we put to use once our bodies are in motion.

Just as we take measures to protect our heart health, our digestive health and even our skin, our muscles need rejuvenation as well. Regular exercise along with proper stretching will go a long way in keeping our muscles active and healthy, but a massage by a trained and experienced massage therapist can give your muscular system a boost that you won’t find on any treadmill or weight bench.

Winter Skincare While most of us focus on protecting skin in the summer, it is important not to neglect your regimen during the winter. Here are five tips for maintaining healthy skin through the colder months: 1-Continue to use SPF! Use at least SPF 15 to continue to protect your skin.

2-Exfoliate skin twice a week. This can help remove dry skin and uneven tone caused by exposure to the sun.

3-Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Winter air is dryer without the humidity of summer, so your skin needs extra nourishment to stay healthy.

4-To get rid of chapped lips, carry around a trusty tube of balm or Chapstick. Exfoliating lips lightly with a toothbrush can also get rid of dead skin on your pucker.

5-Stay hydrated and exercise! Besides the multitude of other benefits, doing so can help maintain a fresh and healthy glow.

In a study of more than 300 healthy Vietnam veterans, those who scored high on measures of hostility were about 25 percent more likely to develop heart disease and showed an increase in an immune-system protein called C3, which has been linked with various diseases, including diabetes. Non-hostile men showed no such increase.

Are you an obese person in a skinny person’s body?

FITNESS

By Laura Marenco When evaluating our health, whether or not we fit into our skinny jeans is not the best indicator. Recently we are learning that people can appear skinny on the outside, yet have a disproportionate percentage of body fat to lean body tissue inside. Experts have termed this as normal-weight obesity, because it has the same health risks.

A study was recently completed by the Mayo Clinic over nine years for 6,000 men and women who had normal weight according to the body mass index. The participants’ body composition was assessed as well as health risk factors during the study.

The study found that 20 to 30 percent of people considered normal weight have an alarmingly higher percentage of body fat than is considered healthy, which for women is below 30 percent and for men less than 25 percent. The study also found that those who had high body fat percentages also had much higher health risks, with high cholesterol an indicator for the No. 1 killer, heart disease, and higher rates of metabolic syndrome, which is a risk for type two diabetes.

In reality, one could throw out their scale in

favor of a using body fat test as the important indicator for health or progress in fitness, or even in a weight-loss program, as weight loss is really about healthy body fat loss. A typical way to conduct a body fat test is a skinfold test using a caliper, which is pinches the skin on different areas of the body to estimate fat and is fairly accurate when conducted by a trained individual. While less than 30 percent for women and 25 percent for men is considered healthy, better goals for women is 14 to 24 percent, while men should try for less than 17 percent.

A healthy body really comes down to its make up, not necessarily a scale indication.

A person can be healthy carrying some extra pounds, with activity and good nutrition, and another seemingly skinny but sedentary person with poor nutrition habits can have serious health risks.

Next week, more on how to avoid being an obese person trapped in a skinny person’s body.

Sweet Inspiration BUSINESS

By David Cain With an ice storm in full force, I came home early. I walked in the house after this ice-shortened day and was greeted by two little smiling faces both with a raging case of cabin fever. A warm welcome on a cold day, these two smiling faces brought leg hugs and smiles to my older face. I needed to go to the bank and decided, since it was only a quarter mile away, I would just walk. I told the girls that I was walking to the bank. My youngest says loudly and correctly, “It’s too cold!” My oldest daughter, and clearly the wiser one, shouts back, “He can do what he wants, he’s the Daddy!” The way she said it, hopping up and down, clapping, it was a gleeful statement. I felt like I should get someone to work on polishing my crown, I was the King of the Cains.

It’s a safe bet that she didn’t learn that the Daddy could do whatever he wants from anyone else in my house. She had to be self-taught on that issue and I was a little proud of her.

On my walk to the bank, I continued to think about what she’d said. I knew it, but had never really thought about it much, those little girls (or at least one of them) think a lot of me and pay attention to everything I do and say.

Was she really self-taught or was that the signal I was sending?

In a world of web cams, social networks, location-based applications, and other secret, slightly creepy ways to watch others, you never know who’s got their eye on you. What other company is watching your company? What other person is watching what you do?

Ever have a fleeting glance meet the eyes of someone else staring directly at you? Well, for every person that has a laser-like stare, there are a whole lot more people paying attention to what you are doing and, even if you know it, you don’t think about that much.

I remember reading a book that contained a statement like, “Live your life like the whole world is watching.” I always remembered that paraphrased statement because I thought then, “Wouldn’t it be a better world if we all lived our life like the whole world is watching?” At least, I think now, I’m going to live mine like my whole world – two little girls – are watching.

Remodeling a previous kitchen remodel

REMODELING

By Larry Greene INITIAL SITUATION: This home in the Thornhill subdivision in Zionsville was built in the early ‘90s and included fairly low quality oak cabinets, drywall bulkheads and laminate countertops. The previous homeowner had tried to update the kitchen by adding a small island with a gas cook top, double ovens and new solid-surface countertops. While the owner wanted a larger and expanded kitchen, this option was found to be too expensive. The solution was to remodel the previous remodel and keep the footprint of the room as is.

ISLAND UPGRADES: The existing island contained a relatively new Viking gas cook top. The problem was there was no ventilation and the size of the island was too small to allow any prep or usable counter space. The solution was to salvage the cook top but move it to the perimeter to allow a larger Cambria quartz countertop on the new island. The island cabinetry was enlarged and relocated and includes new semicustom mitered doors in cherry wood with a brandy stain.

NEW DECORATIVE RANGE HOOD: The old Viking gas cook top was relocated to the perimeter and paired with a new undercounter Viking oven. A new decorative cabinet range hood was installed with a blower and fan liner tucked inside the hood. The previous remodel did not include any venting, so the new project included the installation of ventilation to the exterior. Finally the area under the hood included a tile backsplash with an arched top

Before medallion design.

VARYING HEIGHTS OF WALL CABINETS: The removal of the existing bulkheads allowed the designer to vary the height of the wall cabinets. This “staggered” effect resulted in a more interesting look and more storage. The new perimeter cabinets are semicustom with full overlay mitered doors and five-piece drawer fronts in maple wood with ivory paint and café highlights.

REDESIGNED PANTRY AREA: The old pantry cabinetry was replaced with new wider pantry cabinets that extend to the ceiling, offering much needed additional storage.

No more carding senior citizens HUMOR

By Dick Wolfsie Do you look old? If you do, you’re in luck.

I’m serious.

Yes, the big news is that it may no longer be necessary to show your ID when purchasing a fifth of Jack Daniels. A proposed new state law appears to be a commonsense solution to the problem faced by senior citizens who relinquished their driver’s licenses only to find their AARP card was insufficient proof of their age when buying booze.

The existing law doesn’t require the clerk to make a judgment about the customer’s age, so the cashier at Marsh or the 22nd Amendment has a stress-free job. Everyone is suspect of buying illegal booze.

If this amended law passes, clerks will require an ID only if they think you look over 40 or 50.

The exact number is still being deliberated, but there’s no debate where this is headed. I can see my wife’s face now …

“Mary Ellen, what’s wrong? You look upset.

Did something happen at the grocery store?

“That kid at Kroger did NOT card me.”

Cashiers will no longer be coached to simply query “paper or plastic,” but will require extensive guesstimation training, not unlike those savants at the State Fair who miraculously foresee your age, as well as your weight and the very month you were born. Supermarkets will end

up having to hire carnies at their registers.

I was curious if this proposed change in Hoosier law mirrored other parts of the country.

Apparently, Los Angeles has a similar ordinance, but I don’t care how big a fan you are of Hollywood stars or cosmetic surgery, you just can’t ask to see Joan Rivers’ license with a straight face.

Personally, I enjoy it when I’m asked for proof of my age. It brings back memories of my youth when in order to enjoy a frosty brew at a local pub, I offered a very questionable ID, which couldn’t have been that questionable because no one ever questioned it. For my first two years of college, the bartender called me Eileen.

It is odd that there are days when I need to prove I am over 21 in order to buy liquor and that very same evening I take advantage of the super-senior discount at the local movie theater.

Someday, none of this will be a problem. We live in a world where young people strive to look older and old people desperately want to look younger. At some point, my theory is that everyone is going to look 35 years old. I think we can all drink to that.

DISPATCHES » Unilever won’t test on animals – Animal rights group PETA claimed victory last week after the owner of Lipton and PG Tips teas, the giant Unilever group, said it would stop testing its teas on animals.The world's largest tea maker had been injecting pigs with E. coli bacteria and then feeding them tea to see if it helped block the infection. Unilever would also have rabbits fattened up and then fed tea to see if it would help clear the plaque build-up in their arteries. Those and other tests appeared aimed at demonstrating whether tea had various healing properties that could be used in marketing.

-www.news.yahoo.com » Keep dogs away from these plants – 1, Azaleas and rhododendrons. These pretty flowering plants contain toxins that may cause vomiting, diarrhea, coma and potentially even death. 2. Tulips and daffodils. The bulbs of these plants may cause serious stomach problems, convulsions and damage to the heart. 3. Sago palms.

Eating just a few seeds may be enough to cause vomiting, seizures and liver failure.

-wwwpawnation.com » Lab still top dog breed – Based on registration figures compiled by the American Kennel Club, the beloved Labrador retriever remains the champ in the annual list of most popular dogs, thanks to its well-earned reputation for playfulness and loyalty. Bulldogs made a surprising leap in the rankings. The bulldog knocked the boxer, a perennial favorite, out of the No. 6 spot on the 2010 list, the best showing the breed has had in 100 years. The boxer is now the seventh-most popular breed.

CANINES

By John Mikesell How should you select a food for your dog? There are at least a few hundred different approaches.

Price - There is a correlation between the price of a dog food and its quality, but it’s most accurate at the low end, and less certain when you get to the upper price points.

What is certain that inexpensive food is not what’s healthiest for your dog.

Think about it: Cheap food is made from cheap ingredients. We shudder to think of what sort of ingredients go into a product that sells for 25 cents a pound.

Think about what is commonly called “4-D” meat: animals that are dead, dying, diseased, or disabled. Think about grain byproducts of unknown provenance being shipped all over the planetrejected for use in human food and languishing in warehouses while ingredient brokers try to find a buyer.

Good, top-quality ingredients cost more, and the companies that use them have to charge more. So high price can be an indication of quality. But higher prices can also be indicative of a company’s advertising budget. Let your local independent pet food supplier help you out on understanding the varied high end foods.

Ingredients - I hope that you do use the ingredients list to help you choose the food.

Hallmarks of quality (what to look for):

• Lots of animal protein at the top of the ingredients list. Ingredients are listed by weight, so you want to see a lot of top quality animal proteins at the top of the list; the first ingredient should be a named animal protein source • Named animal protein sourcechicken, beef, lamb, and so on. ”Meat” is an example of a low quality protein source of dubious origin. Animal protein “meals” should also be from a named species (look for beef meal but avoid meat meal).

Signs of corners being cut (what to look out for): • Meat byproducts or poultry byproducts. Added sweeteners. Artificial preservatives, such as BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin. Artificial colors.

What you can do: • Always first look at the ingredients panel of any food you consider for your dog. Look for foods with high-quality animal protein sources at the top of the list.

• Use any other selection criteria that are important to, but allow your dog to be the judge. He should like it, but he should also thrive on it, without developing skin or digestive problems.

Pets of the week Cadence is a two-year-old female blonde and white American Staffordshire Terrier mix. Cadence has a very gentle disposition and a loving personality with an awardwinning smile. She loves to cuddle and she enjoys playing with humans more than she likes playing with toys. She has a great temperament and would do well with children sturdy enough on their feet to withstand her hugs and kisses.

Socks is a six-year-old female gray tabby DSH. Socks is a quiet and gentle girl who wants nothing more than to curl up on a human lap or a soft pillow and enjoy a stress-free life. She is good with people of all ages, but would probably prefer a laid-back environment. She qualifies for the PAWS Program - Partnering Animals With Seniors. If you are age 55 or older, you can adopt Socks for a reduced fee.

For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974 or go to www.hamiltonhumane.com
