OUR VIEWS

It is our position that with next year’s Super Bowl in Indianapolis, Hamilton County has a great opportunity to shine in the spotlight that this enormous event offers. With the growing number of upscale venues, Carmel, Noblesville, Fishers and Westfield can provide Super Bowl participants the opportunity to get away from what is going to be a crazy scene downtown.

This is an opportunity for the Palladium to gain national exposure by getting a big name (and there will be plenty of them in town that week) to perform and show what sets it apart from the few other performance halls like it around the world.

Hotels in Hamilton County will be booked and provide an opportunity for local Hamilton County shops and restaurants to provide their services to those who don’t necessarily regard Hamilton County as a great place to live or visit. Overall, we feel that it is important for Hamilton County business leaders to work with the Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee to make sure that we get a piece of the pie as well. With recent upgrades in the city, we are confident we can make a good impression on visitors.

Bank on it

It is our position that government should generally leave private business activities to private enterprise. If a commercial bank concludes that a loan is not in the best interest of its stockholders, why do we allow government to determine it in the best interest of the taxpayers? If we are hiring elected officials because of their business acumen, wouldn’t we select different ones? Do public officials really believe that they are more knowledgeable on a broad array of topics than experienced and educated professionals, or does ego and power rule the roost? Student loans, bonds, and a myriad of other taxpayer-backed programs all put government in the banking business.

Sure, banks covet the security of a taxpayer guarantee. But have we created a dependency that has led to a culture of denying loan requests in hopes of getting a cosigner with taxing authority? Would growth occur without the safety net? Would jobs be created without government at the table? We believe that officials should concentrate on public works, public safety, parks, and a handful of shared assets and leave the entrepreneurship to the entrepreneurs. Can a political capitalist ever be a trusted administer without confusing spending for leadership?

(2) He may veto it: (A) In the event of a veto while the General Assembly is in session, he shall return such bill, with his objections, within seven days of presentment, to the House in which it originated. If the Governor does not return the bill within seven days of presentment, the bill becomes a law notwithstanding the veto.

his own schedule, yet never attends any of the open planning sessions as others often have. If his uninformed challenges are successful, his insults will only serve to return Westfield to the old anything-anywhere policies that we are finally working our way out of.

Westfield now has the most professional, careful and responsible financial management program possible. This has resulted in a large and growing reserve fund and in a high rating for bonding. Further to transparency, any citizen, including Cameron, has access to meetings and figures. He surely knows better than he is trying to have you believe.

Is Cameron’s whole campaign to be misleading untruths?

In the wake of recent reports of bonuses to be paid to General Motors employees (a shameful proposition, in our judgment), we thought some comments from our president and vice president are in order. We believe this, especially, in light of the fact that all the stimulus money paid to GM has not been fully repaid. GM still owes us $27 billion.

Read on: “That is the height of irresponsibility.” That’s Barack Obama on Wall Street bonuses in 2009. “I’d like to throw these guys in the brig.” That’s Joe Biden on the same topic.

Of course, we’ve officially entered re-election season, so we should expect “no comment” from both of our leaders on GM. So much for change.

Editor, How dare mayoral candidate Russell Cameron call our work a “hodge podge” in the Feb. 8 edition of Current in Westfield? There are many of us who have each given hundreds of hours for unpaid service to Westfield planning groups. We propose plan options, to elected officials, as the Westfield Comprehensive Plan requires. I greatly resent Cameron’s outlandish statement about “the hodge podge way things are developing.”

I assure you the benefit of the citizens of Westfield is foremost in our minds as we take our time to dissect every aspect of the Grand Junction. I know the Sports Commission is doing the same.

There is a lot of chatter in the city over the Hamilton County Parks Dept.’s forced residency requirements – in parks-owned dwellings – and associated expenses. And, as department layoffs took place, there was an approximate expenditure of $75,000 to upgrade the deputy parks director’s quarters near Cool Creek Park here. That’s an embarrassing chunk to swallow when you’re displacing employees. Roof repairs sorely were needed, and we would go along with that, but a master suite and bath remodel for Chris Stice, who pays $100 a month to live there and makes more than $55,000? Supposedly the work was long-before budgeted. If that’s the case, why wasn’t the roof repaired, and then the rest left alone? Cutbacks? What cutbacks?

Who's laughing now?

COMMENTARY

By Terry Anker Ask any kid and they will tell you that laughing is almost always better than crying. In fact the plot of the 2001 Pixar film “Monster’s Inc.” followed the transformation of a society of creatures converting their energy source from the collection of the screams and cries of frightened children to the amassing of their delighted shrills and laughs. Imagine the Boogie Man coming from the closet not to frighten but to amuse. Like most disassociated Hollywood lectures, the subtext of this movie could evoke a tale of why solar energy is better than fossil fuel.

But, I prefer to read it more simply. Joy is better than pain.

For my part, I try to live under this dictum.

If I can laugh, I do. If I can make someone else laugh, I do that too. It seems to make the dreary Indiana winter a little easier. And, it seems to generally lubricate the social workings of both business and personal encounters. Growing up in the early days of HBO, I remember listening

to late-night comedians find humor in both our similarities and our differences – religion, money, race, politics, sex and gender all were fodder for the joke. Rickles and Dangerfield insulted equally. Eddie Murphy still had an edge. But now in a world of jihad, who gets to decide what is funny and what is not? And perhaps more importantly, what are we missing because of humor censorship?

Can we make fun of Islam like Bill Maher takes shots at Christianity? And is it okay to laugh a little at the silliness of big government like Jon Stewart giggles when he calls advocates for government restraint tea baggers? If Bush is a punch line, when can we mock Barack? Isn’t part of civility being able to get the joke?

Sometimes you just have to let them fight COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson My blood pressure is sky-high right now. I’m sitting at my desk in the kitchen and listening to a monstrous fight upstairs between my daughters. It’s a snow day (sarcastic yay!) which means I’ll be trapped with these two war mongers for the next 12 to 15 hours until the sweet release of sleep will carry me to a better place.

As I’m offering up a prayer for patience, I’m debating whether to intervene. Part of me – the part that grew up with four sisters and one bathroom – wants to jump into the fray and take the side of my 6-year-old. I can’t prove it, but I feel certain her 9-year old sister is quietly pushing every one of her melodramatic buttons.

The mom part of me though is lobbying for neutrality, much like President Wilson did for the better part of the First World War: “Let those Europeans fight their own battles!” I keep telling myself they can work it out, that it’ll be good for them to reach a ceasefire on their own terms. Plus, I’m kind of curious as to how the whole thing will play out. Will the first grader’s air power prevail? Or will the fourth-grader’s stealth tactics win the day?

As I’m pondering all of this and willing my impending stroke to subside, I hear “I hate you!” several times in rapid succession (much like machine gun fire across No Man’s Land) coming from the top of my youngest’s voice.

Oh. No. She. Didn’t. My children are not allowed to use the word “hate,” especially when directed toward a sibling. I actually stand up and head for the stairs. If she thinks she can sink my parenting Lusitania and get away with it, she is sorely mistaken.

But then I hear silence. It seems both girls have retreated to the trenches and are either preparing for the next wave or are finally awakening to the pointlessness of war. I stand there for a moment considering my next move, then look up to see my older daughter coming down. She’s fine. No tears, no remorse. I eyeball her and ask what happened. Naturally, she lies through her teeth and says it was all Maddie’s fault.

Then Maddie appears, also oblivious to the horrors she’s just put me through, and nonchalantly asks if she can play on the computer. I interrogate her as well and remind her that using “hate” constitutes a war crime in this family.

The punishment? Both girls must say to each

other, in clear and precise language while making eye contact, “I love you.”

They are so uncomfortable I start to smile. “Do it, or I’ll make you hug too.” I’m my own League of Nations, except one that actually succeeds in securing future peace. Well, at least for this morning. I’m sure by this afternoon, Fraulein Maddie will have invaded the countries of Andrew and Geoffrey, and I’ll have World War II on my hands.

That’s OK … I can channel Truman as well as Wilson, and like him, if conditions dictate, I’m not afraid to use the bomb. “No dessert for you!”

Fighting with your siblings is part of growing up, and usually, no permanent damage is done.

As a parent though, it’s not always clear which side, if any, you should support. Most days I jump right in, even though I know it’s better if I stay Switzerland. So I’m proud of my actions this morning, despite the small brain hemorrhage I almost suffered. Peace out.

City council approves park fees Girl Scouts create fleece blankets for Project Linus, Newborns in Need

Oak Trace Girl Scouts Blanket Project

By Brandie Bohney Current in Westfield Nearly 100 Girl Scouts at Oak Trace Elementary School convened on Feb. 11 for a service project. The girls made dozens of blankets to benefit Project Linus and Newborns in Need.

Project Linus is a national organization that provides handmade blankets to seriously ill or traumatized children throughout the U.S. Newborns in Need is a nationwide organization providing a variety of newborn necessities – including handmade blankets – to babies born prematurely or into poverty.

The event was organized and sponsored by Troop 931, a fourth-grade troop with 27 members. The girls needed a project to work toward their Bronze Award, one of three major Girl Scout achievements.

“They came up with a community need – Project Linus, which is what the council is doing, and their own: Newborns in Need.

They invited all the troops to come, and they organized this entire evening, so they’re showing

their leadership skills,” said Wendy Vivirito, a co-leader of Troop 931.

In addition to organizing the event itself, the girls also had to do some fundraising in order to purchase all the supplies to make the blankets. The girls found a willing partner in Queso Blanco.

“We did a fund raiser at Queso Blanco on a blizzardy, cold day and raised most of the funds we needed,” Vivirito said. “A lot of credit goes to Queso Blanco for giving back to the community.”

Troop 931 made 28 small blankets for Newborns in Need, and the other troops (951, 959, 1019, 1505, 1594, and 2608) collaborated to make five large bed-sized blankets for Project Linus.

“We hope it will start a tradition of Oak Trace units getting together for service projects year in and year out,” Vivirito said. “It’s all about the girls giving back to the community … Thank a girl scout for giving back to the community: It’s what they do.”

Westfield population triples

By Lacey Nix Current in Westfield Results from the 2010 US Census show that the population in Westfield has more than tripled since 2000. In 2000 the population of the city was 9,293. In 2010 the population of Westfield was 30,068.

The vast increase in population will bring in more federal dollars to the city for road repairs, construction and other projects. The census is also used to allocate elected seats in the House of Representatives and State Legislature.

As a whole, Hamilton County had the largest growth rate of any county in Indiana. Results from the census indicate that the current population in the county is 274,569 compared to 182,740 in 2000. The City of Westfield accounted for the most growth in Hamilton County.

Another big development coming from the 2010 census is the emergence of Hispanics and Latinos as the dominant minority group in Westfield. Out of the total population of 30,068

6 | February 22, 2011

residents, 1,746 respondents indicated they were of Hispanic or Latino origin,, which translates into just shy of 6 percent of the population.

Of all the cities in Hamilton County, the growth of the Hispanic community has been most prevalent in Westfield. In fact, although Carmel has the most residents in Hamilton County, Hispanics only make up for 2.5 percent of the Carmel population. Noblesville has a slightly higher amount of Hispanic residents, accounting for 4.3 percent of the population.

2.5 percent of the Westfield population indicated they were Asian, 2.2 percent of respondents were African-American.

69 respondents in Westfield indicated they were of Native American or Alaskan Native origin. 8 respondents gave Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander as their race.

The census also showed that 68 percent of the Westfield population is over 18 years old.

More census results are available online at www.2010.census.gov.

By Lacey Nix Current in Westfield The Westfield City Council established the Westfield Parks Departments 2011 fees, policies, procedures and permits. In addition, the council discussed an ordinance that would regulate golf cart operation on city streets.

If you are planning a special event or want to use any of the Westfield Parks as your location, information on rental fees and requirements are now available.

The Council approved rules and regulations for all parks and also set rental fees effective for 2011. Popular park rental sites, Asa Bales Park North and Quaker Park, are available to groups for $150 for four hours. Hadley Park has been used for intimate weddings in the past and can be rented for up to four hours for $40. Asa Bales Park South, Simon Moon Park, Old Friends Cemetery Park, Monon Trail, Midland Trace Trail and Natalie Wheeler Trail are available for $100. Deposit amounts and insurance information vary depending on the event and are available by contacting the Parks Department.

All Westfield park shelter houses are available for rental for four hours for $40. Officials recommend reserving your location in advance to secure your desired location. Applications for rentals and special events can be downloaded by visiting www.cityofwestfield.org and selecting parks and recreation.

In other business, the council considered an ordinance regulating the operation of golf carts within the city. Under the regulations put forth, all golf carts that will be operated on city roadways and trails must be inspected by the Westfield Police Department for compliance with various rules. Inspections cost $25 and will provide a permit that is valid for two years.

The ordinance also states golf carts must have headlights, taillights and turn signals. In addition, they must include a slow moving sign or a bicycle flag or a rear flashing light. If approved, the ordinance would also ban golf carts from operating in inclement weather including rain, snow and sleet.

The ordinance was sent to committee for consideration.

Have you checked out the new city Web site?

COMMENTARY

By Ken Kingshill Well, the Web site isn’t exactly new; it’s just been renovated to be a lot more user-friendly.

And it reflects the new city logo and color scheme. This is the result of a lot of hard work by the city communications and informatics departments.

If you haven’t visited the Web site recently, I suggest you do so. Along with all the usual department and staff information, you’ll also find the latest press releases, links to news articles pertaining to the city, and information relating to all of the current major initiatives. You’ll learn about the Youth Assistance Program, the Grand Junction, Grand Sports Park, Westfield Ready, WeCan and city trash service, just to name a few.

During our recent winter weather events, you could have navigated to the Westfield Public Works Department page and viewed an interactive snowplow map showing real-time information regarding the location and status of plowing activities on every street in Westfield.

You also could have done a site search for “snow plow policy” and then printed out a copy of Westfield’s policy regarding when and how the city clears streets during a snow storm.

The Web site also invites you to follow the city on Facebook and Twitter. If you had followed the

MedicineAndMovement.com/LearnMore

city on Facebook in the last weeks, you would have been one of the first to know that the Public Works Department had a surplus of street salt and was giving away one 40-pound bag of the stuff to any residential property owner that requested one. You also would have been informed that Ray’s Trash Service would be operating on a one-day delay the week of the storm.

Now that the ice and snow on the streets is melting, you may find that there are some potholes on the streets. On the city’s homepage you can click on “ReportIt” and submit an online request to have the pothole fixed. Or you can simply take a picture of it with your cell phone and email that photo to eyes@westfield.in.gov to report the problem and receive a response within 48 hours. Of course, you can find simple instructions on how to do that on the Web site.

So next time you’re spending just a little too much time on the computer, why not wander over to www.westfield.in.gov and check out all the other content that I haven’t mentioned here?

You won’t be disappointed.

Making history Westfield’s Union Bible College has been in the same location, and used for the same purpose since 1860

By Lacey Nix Current in Westfield A big piece of Westfield’s history turned 150 years old this year.

Union Bible College and Academy’s history in Westfield began in 1860, when the building on South Union Street was erected.

The school’s president, John Whitaker, said, “Our academy is one of the oldest and longest running schools in the state.”

In fact, the school’s first classes were held Jan. 7, 1861, the same year President Abraham Lincoln took office. America was at the beginning of the Civil War, but a group of Quakers from Westfield were more concerned with educating their children.

The group decided to build and start Union High Academy in order to educate their children both academically and spiritually.

Whitaker said, “By 1880 there were almost 300 students in the school.”

Nearly 50 years later, the school saw its enrollment severely diminished by the introduction of public schools in the area. Faced with the possibility of having to close its doors, William M. Smith came up with the idea of creating a seminary to educate the students beyond

high school. This move saved the school from closing, and Union Bible Academy was founded in May of 1911.

Although the school was founded and run for more than 100 years by the Friends movement, in 1980, the seminary was converted to an interdenominational institution in order to position itself into a larger holiness movement. In 1989, the name officially changed to Union Bible College and Academy.

The exterior of the building is true to its 1860s origin. The exterior has not changed much; however, the school has had renovations to the inside of the building.

The bell tower that once chimed daily over Westfield is still functioning and can be heard occasionally when the school has a special event. Also in tact is the original fire escape protruding from the left side of the building. The fire escape looks more like a slide today; however, the students enjoy any opportunity to use it.

School secretary, Stacy Snyder, said, “The last day of school the kids get to go down the fire escape; it’s so fun and they love it.”

Currently, there are 82 students enrolled in the college and around 65 in the academy. The academy takes students in grades kindergarten through 12.

On May 27 at 7 p.m., the school will officially celebrate the 150-year anniversary of the academy and 100 years of the bible college. They have invited the mayor of Westfield, Gov. Mitch Daniels and other politicians from around the city.

At the event, the school will unveil a black monument celebrating the anniversary. The monument will sit in front of the school

Stained glass windows have been updated and placed in the chapel after recent renovations. on Union Street. President Whitaker hopes everyone in the community will come to celebrate the anniversary.

He said, “It’s important for the community to come to this event, because community is togetherness. We at Union Bible have played such an important role in the history of Westfield. I think that anyone interested in the history of Westfield would love the event.”

The study found students were learning less and that their critical thinking and writing skills were not developing as they should be. Nearly 35 percent of students said they studied five hours per week or less, a 50 percent decline in number of hours of preparing for class and studying in just a few decades, and 50 percent of students said they had taken classes that required less than 20 pages of writing a semester.

These students also feel that unrelenting state budget cuts are damaging their schools and colleges, jeopardizing their ability to get ahead.

Martin Short Take the SAT or the ACT? a fellow grammarian?

GRAMMAR

By Brandie Bohney Saturday Night Live is a guilty pleasure of mine. I can’t say that it’s always as stellar as I remember it as a kid, but I enjoy it. One of my favorite skits from back in the day was one that included Martin Short and Harry Shearer as hopeful synchronized swimmers for the 1992 Olympics. The skit aired in the 1980s, but Shearer’s character notes, “Men’s synchro isn’t even in the ’88 Olympics yet.” Short’s character responds that the extra four years will be helpful because they need that time to practice, considering that he’s, “not that strong a swimmer.”

Did you notice that Short’s line was not, “not that strong of a swimmer”? He left the of completely out. Why on earth would he do that?

Because Martin Short, in addition to being tremendously funny, is grammatically correct. In this instance, anyhow.

When you make a comparison – in this case, it’s an understood comparison to an unknown – there’s a need for parallelism. In other words, the thing being compared must be set up in the same way as what it’s compared to. Let’s use a more straightforward example: He’s as good a dancer as she is. It’s understood that she’s a dancer, too. The comparison is between the two dancers. What you don’t need is a preposition to muck up the comparison. Many people are quick to add of, but consider what the sentence looks like when you add it to both sides of a completed comparison: He’s as good of a dancer as she is of a dancer. Ick. And if you wouldn’t say it that way, why would you add the of when everything that follows she is is understood rather than written out?

The of simply isn’t necessary. Further, it’s not just unnecessary; it’s wrong. Drop the of. Just like Martin Short did. He may not have been that strong a swimmer, but he was that strong a grammarian.

Good stuff, that synchronized swimming bit.

It’s better still when you can see how ridiculous Martin Short looks swimming with arm floaties.

Commentary

By Paul McCarthy If your student is a sophomore or junior in high school, you are starting to contemplate the acronym soup of standardized tests. One of the first options you may be considering is whether they should take the SAT or the ACT. Both the SAT Reasoning Test and the ACT are widely administered standardized tests that “level the playing field” between the various secondary schools throughout the country.

The vast majority of colleges consider these tests in addition to GPA and course work when making admissions decisions. Virtually all Indiana schools use these scores for determining “automatic” scholarships. All colleges accept scores from either or both.

Many educators recommend that a student take both exams, and take them multiple times. The ACT has long allowed students to choose which test scores are sent to colleges.

In the past, colleges received all SAT scores and created a composite of the best scores for each test component. Since 2008, the SAT has provided for Score Choice, where the student selects which scores are sent. This has eliminated any potential reason not to take these tests on multiple occasions.

However, if you want to use time and effort wisely, you should examine the differences between the tests and determine which best

matches the academic strengths of your student.

The SAT consists of 3 sections: Critical Reading, Mathematics and Writing (which includes an essay). The ACT has 4 sections: English, Math, Reading and Science Reasoning. Writing is optional although most colleges require it.

The SAT purports to be an aptitude test that examines reasoning and verbal skills.

The ACT attempts to measure what students learned in school. Therefore, the ACT is considered more skill based and straightforward.

The ACT tends to have more reading in general, so it favors those who are stronger in that area. The Science Reasoning is mostly about reading skills, although the student must interpret and evaluate data and the draw logical conclusions. The grammar sections are more reading based than the SAT. The ACT reading section itself is often considered more difficult than the SAT’s reading sections. There are more questions overall on the ACT exam and some find it hard to finish.

Apart from these generalities, it is difficult to predict success. Your best option would be to seek out a comparative diagnostic test.

New educational options for residents

By Margaret Sutherlin Current in Westfield Parents and students have a new, increasingly popular educational option available in the Carmel area through The Master’s Study homeschool program.

The Master’s Study school is a hybrid program that combines traditional homeschooling and self study with a few days a week of structured, in-class instruction. The combination of homeschool and in-class study, as well as a contemporary focus on classical education and liberal arts, allows students the flexibility to pursue their academic interests and still learn the basics they’ll need to apply later on.

“Classical education sounds stuffy and rigid,” said Cindy Brumbarger, director of the school.

“We are classically minded. We teach our students how to actually think and apply their knowledge.”

Brumbarger said the school has been rapidly growing and now involves well over 100 students. For students in the program, the grade levels are broken into particular “schools”, until the entire curriculum since preschool comes together in the high school level. At that point, students will present a thesis and defend it. The series of steps that teach students to seek to understand the why and the how of their studies are a critical component and one that is especially stressed in the classical model.

While the humanities play a significant role in the program, technology, science and math are critically important also. By discussing science and math in the context of events or practical application, students are able to better apply and understand concepts at their own pace.

“Our ultimate goal is the master of something. We grade on a bell curve so students really have to work for their ‘A’ and want to achieve it,” said Brumbarger.

Alternative forms of education are now more than ever taking the spotlight in Indiana as the General Assembly looks at educational structure and reforms, and as the role of public vs. private education becomes more scrutinized, options such as the classical program offered through The Master’s Study could be a more viable educational option for some families.

Former public school teacher and Master’s Study teacher and parent Lori Benson, the program has done great things for her children.

“My kids have benefited…they are gaining a feel for how the events of history, literature, science, fine arts, etc…have been woven together, and how they fit together,” said Benson. “I love that my children are being challenged to really think, but are at the same time, developing deep, life-long relationships with their peers.”

Chance to aid Africa, dispose of computers properly

By Lacey Nix Current in Westfield A computer recycling program at Westfield Middle School does more than just help the environment: it also sends computers to Senegal, Africa helping students in remote areas have access to the internet.

Last year 90 computers were recycled through the program. Students separate usable parts from computer parts that can only be recycled.

Recycled parts go to Workforce where they are recycled, keeping unwanted metals out of the soil and water. The other parts are then packed up and sent to Wings for Africa, a non-profit group that works internationally to help provide educational opportunities for students in Africa.

According to the organization, Africa has over 10 percent of the world’s population, but only accounts for 1 percent of internet users in the world. In comparison, 61 percent of people in North America have access to the internet.

Wings for Africa not only donates computers, but also sends technicians to the remote areas of Africa to train teachers in the country.

You can recycle your computer or parts at Westfield Middle School on Saturday, Feb. 26 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you cannot make it that day you can also bring the items to Westfield Middle and leave them in the front office.

Palladium invites Indiana choirs to jazz performance

By Margaret Sutherlin Current in Westfield Members of the Indiana Bible College’s choir were surprised to learn that they were going to have the chance to sing in the new Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. They were even more stunned to hear they would be singing with gospel singing legend, Yolanda Adams.

“We were so shocked,” said Greta Schraufnagel, 26, of Georgia. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. She is an amazing artist and we all listen to her music. It is such an honor and once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Selected by an application and audition process open to choirs throughout the area, the Indiana Bible College and Calvary Temple choirs had the chance to perform with Yolanda Adams and Take 6 in the recent, sold-out concert Jazz Meets Gospel at the Palladium. Adams, a Grammy winner and ground breaking vocalist performed on Saturday with Take 6, an a cappella jazz and gospel singing group.

Dean of Music at the Indiana Bible College Lindel Anderson didn’t tell the students he had entered the contest, and was happy to announce it when his choir was chosen.

“They are so excited to perform,” said Anderson. “Many of the students try to sing like Yolanda so this is an important moment for them and true joy.”

The Indiana Bible College, located on the southeast side of Indianapolis, is affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church. The school is small, with only 200 students, though many aren’t just from the Indiana area, but across the country and world. The College has a large choir of over 50 members, 30 of whom were selected to perform with Yolanda Adams.

“It’s very rewarding for me to see my students with different gifts get to create this sound with her,” said Anderson. “We’re so excited to go into the community and share gospel.”

Annually, music festivals, block parties, and ministry outreach are primarily the ways that the Indiana Bible College presents its message and ministry and also help students get familiar with and comfortable in the community to share their music.

For the young musicians performing with Adams, extra practices and plenty of excitement characterized their weeks leading up to the concert. New York native Gideon Assefa, 19, said he was quite excited to have the chance to share an uplifting and powerful message to an audience with such an inspiring singer and performer.

“We really appreciate this opportunity and all that Brother Anderson did to help us. It’s amazing to get to perform [at the Palladium] and we’re so excited about it.”

Gideon Assefa and Lindel Anderson lead a choir rehearsal.

When it’s time to call the pros DESIGN

By Vicky Earley If the water heater is filling the basement with water, there is absolutely no question it is time to call in the pros.

A slip on the ice can be a situation that sends you into the care of a professional. A great haircut requires skill, as well.

Home decor can be a bit grey regarding the need.

Decorating is treated as a hobby by plenty of homeowners. The hunt for the perfect piece is a great pastime!

There comes the time, however, when calling in a professional designer is the wise direction to go.

If you are considering new construction, an addition, a renovation or a remodel, a designer can capitalize on the function of the space as well as the aesthetics.

If your space lacks flow and functionality for the way your family lives, a designer can identify the issues that are in the way.

When you how you want your home to look but really don’t know how to make it happen, a decorator or designer can save you from frustration and mistakes!

If you want to add new furnishings that blend with existing pieces, a decorator or designer can become your new best friend! They will help

you to maximize the possibilities.

When you are in the throes of design paralysis, a decorator can help you break out of the rut with fresh ideas. Since a homeowner is so close to the project, it becomes difficult to see beyond the obvious.

If you simply lack the time to research the possibilities, make decisions and find/manage talented trades people a designer is essential!

The best time to consider a designer is while you are still thinking about the new space and before any decisions are made. Selections are domi-

noes, so one bad choice can doom the project!

With a vast world of design possibilities, your professional will present options you may not have considered and ensure that you are making choices that don’t end in disappointment and design paralysis.

Men’s Spring Trends

• Hair • Skin • Nails • Massage

A unique look that hit the runway for 2011 is the multi colored look. Step out on a limb this spring and incorporate some colored pieces into your style to keep up to date this season. As far as coordinating colors goes, the traditional rules need not be applied in men’s fashion. Wearing a yellow shirt with orange shorts, for example, is not going to be out of the normal realm.

RELAX!

These days we are all looking for ways to look younger. In your quest, don’t overlook using an eyelash conditioner to brighten your total look.

Bring this in & receive $20 off a one hour deep tissue massage

One such way to achieve this is by using an eyelash conditioner to brighten your total look. Longer, fuller eyelashes open up your entire expression. Women of all ages have been known to worry about their eyelashes, wanting them to look lush, so using an eyelash conditioner is something any woman can add to her daily routine.

Eyelash conditioners come in all forms. Salon 01 carries RevitaLash eyelash conditioner because it has been proven, with regular use, to lengthen the lashes and promote growth of new lashes.

Bigger is Better Try these simple steps to help achieve the voluminous, bombshell hair that can now be found on magazine covers and all along the red carpet: To begin, towel dry your hair and mist a leave-in conditioner (such as Biominoil Leave In Treatment) and a volumizer (try Brocato’s Volumizing Tonic). Then begin blow drying your roots while pulling them away from your scalp.

When your hair is completely dry, wrap 1-inch sections in Velcro rollers. Once your hair is set, blow dry with a diffuser for another 10 minutes on the hot setting, then 10 minutes on the cool setting.

Alternatively, you could use large hot rollers or a curling iron once your hair is completely dry.

After removing the rollers, combine a drop of shine serum (like Brocato’s Shine Drops) and a light hold gel (Salon 01 brand Flex Hold Gel) in the palms of your hands. Run your hands throughout your hair and move your voluminous locks into place.

For added boost, gently tease your roots around the crown of your head. Finish off the process with a blast of moveable hold hairspray to keep your ‘do in place.

» Trans fats may lead to depression – In a recent study, Spanish researchers followed more than 12,000 people for six years. Though no one had depression at first, people who ate the most trans fats at the beginning of the study—equal to roughly half a teaspoon of margarine per day—were more likely to become depressed down the road versus people who ate the least trans fats. Researchers say the adverse effects of trans fatty acids are thought to cause inflammation that interferes with neurotransmitters, like serotonin, important to mood regulation.

FITNESS

By Laura Marenco The pace of life only seems to get faster with each passing day. Not only is fitting in meals difficult, but getting meals that are conducive to helping you lose weight and keep it off is even harder. The answer lies in meal-replacement shakes, a quick healthy meal on the go.

Meal replacement shakes are composed of three macronutrients: healthy fats, carbohydrates and protein. Depending on your needs, you can get a meal-replacement shake that fits a low-carb diet, or one that is lower in fat if you want to reduce calorie intake. There are wellrounded shakes that try to have a balance of everything to provide nutrients closer to a full meal. Meal-replacement shakes usually contain 200 to 400 calories per each serving, which fits in well to complete one of your meals in a fivemeal-a-day diet plan.

Unlike many of today’s popular “diet shakes,” a good meal replacement is very low in simple sugars. Carbs are not really the enemy, but simple sugars are rapidly assimilated into your blood stream and will cause a corresponding surge in your insulin levels. This over secretion of insulin produces a spillover effect that is di-

rectly associated with increased fat storage. In fact, sugar-based products can actually promote greater body-fat levels than high-fat foods, making them highly undesirable for maintaining a lean, healthy physique.

Also a good meal-replacement shake gets its protein from high-quality whey and egg sources rather than cheaper alternatives. By nature, whey and egg proteins are maximally absorbed into your body. This allows a greater amount of protein to be utilized for important functions, such as tissue growth and repair – a critical factor if you are exercising.

Keep in mind that meal-replacement shakes aren’t the perfect substitute for natural food, and are meant to be used in conjunction with a well-balanced diet. Think of them as a healthy option to stay on track in a pinch. So instead of fast food next time when on the go, think about having a meal-replacement shake handy!

» LED lights loaded with lead, arsenic – The LED bulbs sold as safe and eco-friendly can contain high levels of lead, arsenic and other hazardous substances, a new UC Irvine study shows – the same bulbs widely used in headlights, traffic lights, even holiday lights. The toxic material could increase the risk of cancer, kidney disease and other illnesses, although the risks are more longterm than immediate; a single exposure to a broken bulb is unlikely to cause illness.

DISPATCHES » Female doctors make less – Newlytrained women doctors are being paid about $17,000 less than their male counterparts, found a new study published in the February issue of Health Affairs. The pay disparity exists even after the researchers accounted for factors such as medical specialty, hours worked and practice type. Women had lower starting salaries than men in nearly all specialties, the researchers found. The gap has grown from $16,819 in 2008 and just $3,600 in 1999.

-www.wsj.com » Breaks boost work performance – A new psychological study has shown that brief interruptions kept participants' performance on a task from dropping when performing repetitive jobs. This is consistent with the idea that the brain is built to detect and respond to change, according to researchers.

-www.livescience.com » Women donate more – According to a recent study by the Women's Philanthropy Institute at Indiana University, women are as much as 40 percent more likely to donate

than men. What's more, women at nearly every income level are better givers. Not only do they give more often; they also tend to donate more.

-www.time.com » B-school grads earning more – Newly minted MBAs' salaries and bonuses rose last year, according to a new survey from the Graduate Management Admission Council.

Students who graduated in 2010 received a median salary of $78,820, up from $66,694 in 2009. New grads also reported median signing bonuses of $13,318, nearly doubling 2009.

Still, salaries and bonuses are down from prerecession levels.

Shares are trading at nine times earnings estimates while Exxon Mobil (XOM) is trading at 12 times earnings.

Get your news in real time BUSINESS

By David Cain Now, I make my share of mistakes; that’s for sure. However, if I had to present to 100 million people, I’d sure like to think I’d be ready.

As 100 million people witnessed, if you believe the hype, Christina Aguilera took some creative license with the words of our National Anthem.

While singing, she changed the words, “O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming,” to, “What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last reaming.” Not such a proud moment.

I heard the words come out of her mouth and said to the room, like any true patriot would, “I don’t think that’s right.” It all happened so fast, I wasn’t really sure. I wasn’t sure if she missed a line, made one up, or I had too many chips in my mouth and didn’t really hear what she sang.

In any event, I stood by my statement.

At halftime some friends stopped by. They hadn’t seen the beginning of the game (they’re moving). They dropped in and said, “How bad was Christina Aguilera’s improv?” It surprised me to learn that her misstep had now reached people who hadn’t even seen it. I was intrigued and asked how they knew. Someone had texted them to poke fun at the mistake, assuming of course they were watching the game too.

The next day I was eating again with people from work. Now, they are younger, much

www.youarecurrent.com

younger than me. One of them, let’s call him Scott because that’s his name, said, “Did you see Jim Irsay’s tweet last night?” I couldn’t help myself so I sparked off, “You were on Twitter during the game?” His response got me thinking.

When someone 27 years old hears this televised flub, he turns to social networks to get the scoop. He turned to Twitter in this case to see what the “trending topics” were. He knew in seconds from his phone that she’d indeed made a haunting mistake. If you had used a search engine (like Google) to find the scoop, it would have been an hour later before you even saw some trickle of information. Social networks, however, delivered the humiliating blow within seconds, and it came from masses.

Christina’s creative license with the National Anthem echoed in the ears of tens of millions of people. Twitter was immediately abuzz with talk of her mistake, and by the third quarter her Wikipedia page included the details. Before she could finish the song, social networks powered by people delivered the message. We are all reporters. We are all contributors. Today, history is being written in real time.

Another location of a nationally renowned pancake restaurant is now open in Hamilton County.

Owner and operator Brian McDermott has opened his third Original Pancake House location in the northern Indianapolis/ Hamilton County area. His newest restaurant at 14631 N.

The Original Pancake House was founded in 1953 by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke of Portland, Ore.

Today, The Original Pancake House has locations across the country, including one of its newest in Hamilton County.

Breakfast items are served all day, and specialties of the Pancake House include its Apple Pancake, Dutch Baby pancake, Danish Kijafa Cherry Crepes and Strawberry Waffles. Though nearly any pancake variation imaginable is on the menu, various other options are available as well.

McDermott’s two other Original Pancake House locations in the area are 1518 West 86th Street, Indianapolis and 8395 East 116th Street in Fishers.

Master bath remodel: Taking out a large garden tub REMODELING

By Larry Greene ORIGINAL BATHROOM: This home was built in the Colony Square subdivision in Zionsville in 1998. Similar to many homes of this era, the bathroom housed a very spacious cultured marble garden tub that took up space and required a long time to fill up. Over the years, the tub was used less and less. Next to the tub was a small-sized shower, which over the years has started to leak. These factors made them realize the space needed to be completely remodeled.

REDESIGN PROCESS: During the design process, the homeowner decided to remove the tub and create a large, tiled and easily accessible shower. They also decided to add new painted and open-storage shelving.

PLUMBING FIXTURES: The new bathroom included brushed nickel plumbing fixtures including Kohler Forte wide-spread vanity faucets, a matching Kohler Forte shower head and faucet with a diverter for a stationary hand-shower, and a comfort-height toilet.

FLOOR TILE: The existing vinyl flooring was replaced with Panaria Whitestone 18” x 18” porcelain tile on a diagonal pattern with antique

Before white grout.

SHOWER FEATURES: The new shower walls feature Panaria Whitestone 12” x 12” wall tile, ivory bacello and ogee moldings and sonoma tantrum 1” x 1” accent pieces. The mud-set shower floor contains matching 2” x 2” mosaic tile. A new corner bench was installed and a recessed storage niche was placed on the inside of the half wall of the shower. Finally, a new frameless 3/8” thick heavy clear glass door with

After brushed nickel hardware was installed including a towel bar to function as the door handle.

FINAL RESULTS: The homeowner was pleased with the overall results and commented, “There’s just so much more room … and it is all usable space. We couldn’t be happier with the newfound functionality and aesthetics … the tile

Embrace the winter to prepare for spring GARDENING

By Holly Lindzy Snow and ice, then more snow on top of the ice…I’m sensing a theme here.

Well, after all, it is winter in Indiana. While most of us pray for a snow day to lie around and eat bonbons, by Day 3 most of us, especially those with children, would rather pull out eyelashes than spend another day indoors.

Gardeners, on the other hand, can take this grand opportunity to do some spring planning.

With the ground blanketed in white, it’s easy to see the landscape as a blank slate. Shrubs and trees are still prominent, showing the backbone of the garden and therefore a base upon which to build. Throw open the curtains, sit with a pad and pencil and make notes and sketches of some ideas that inspire you to get out there in the spring.

And while you’re just slothing around the house, you could pay some attention to the plants in your house, too. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to trim off brown foliage, water and fertilize those babies. Check them to see if they’re comfortable in their pots, and if not, maybe repot them one size up. Or maybe just some

22 | February 22, 2011

fresh soil would do the trick.

Got catalogs pouring in? Grab a pen and thumb through them to get some ideas for the spring. Try something different or test a new and interesting variety. Possibilities abound with the suggestion of blooms bumbling around in your head.

But whatever you do, don’t head outside to shake the snow load off of your shrubs and trees. The freezing temperatures leave the tissue so brittle that shaking them could cause them to snap and/or break. So although it seems as if your landscape is moaning under the weight of the winter, it is best to leave it be.

Bonbons and eyelashes aside, the winter is a great time for gardeners to relax and dream, so embrace it. Before long you’ll be mowing and swatting at mosquitoes. Unless you like that type of thing…

has such a warm look to it.”

Knowing your limitations

HUMOR

By Mike Redmond An ancient prophet – St. Clint of Eastwood, I believe – once told us, “A man’s got to know his limitations.”

The scene: My garage. I have decided to install a gas heater so the gym I built out there might be useful between November and (this being Indiana) whenever winter decides to leave town.

Enter limitations.

Now, I already know one of my limitations is that I have no clue as to how to install and hook up a heating system.

Enter Wally.

Wally is a dear friend and one of those guys who exudes competence. He and I have worked together on a farm for several years and you may take it from me when I tell you he can fix anything, from a balky tractor to … well, another balky tractor. And he said he would be more than delighted to help me put in this heater, something he has actually had experience doing.

Enter Wally and Mike’s limitations.

Here’s the problem: Those things have to be mounted from the ceiling. The customary way is to muscle them up there and hold them in place while you attach them to the joists. However (and this is a big however) Wally and I are middle-aged men. He has a legendary bad back.

I have a soon-to-be legendary bad hip and two bum knees.

Does this stop us? Nope. You see, we have misinterpreted St. Clint. We acknowledge our limitations, true, but that doesn’t mean we pay attention to them.

And so we try to lift it into place. Holding it between us we climb ladders and attempt to maneuver it up to the ceiling.

This is a dumb idea, and we know it as soon as we try. Our arms shake and shiver. Our faces contort. And our backs put up the white flags almost immediately.

We build a scaffold and try to get the thing into place using a floor jack. This one ALMOST results in a call for a replacement heater, but luckily we caught it before it hit the floor.

Finally we decide the only way to get the thing where it needs to be is for one of us to get on the scaffold and hold the thing on his shoulders like Atlas holding up the Heat Pump of Olympus. Yes, it’s another dumb idea, but it’s the only one we have. So we draw straws and ...

Call me Atlas.

Also call me a chiropractor.

And then have Wally call me when he’s done installing the flue and the gas line.

Should be May at the latest.

I'm not one for snow business HUMOR

By Dick Wolfsie I know that what I am about to ask will be mocked and ridiculed, but here goes: Why do people shovel snow?

As soon as the local news predicts even a modest potential downfall, my neighbors begin prepping themselves for their battle with the white stuff. Shovels are readied, snow blowers are gassed up, and I can already see Keith at his window peeking through the blinds, poised to dash out on his walk and begin shoveling at the sight of the first flake.

And then there’s Roger, the only man I know with an ergonomic snow shovel collection, most of which look like regular snow shovels that were run over by an SUV or got caught in a closing garage door. And finally, there’s Hugh, who this past blizzard fired up his Briggs and Stratton and plowed everyone’s driveway and front walk … not because he has a big heart, but because his snow blower has a big gas tank and the on/off switch doesn’t work.

Within hours of the final bit of accumulation, every driveway – except mine – is completely free of snow and ice.

Me? I just barrel out of the garage atop the ice and snow, run my errands, then maneuver back into the driveway, aligning the car with my recent tire tracks. I get out of the car in the

garage and walk through the door and then directly into the house. My feet never touch the snow.

What about the walk that leads to my front door? The Wolfsies seldom use that entrance and honestly, we don’t get many visitors. But I would happily open the door for people handing out religious brochures, Girl Scouts taking cookie orders or college kids selling magazine subscriptions. They’ll just need to bring their own shovel.

I have carefully explained my theory of benign neglect to my neighbors, which I don’t think they buy, because it was the same explanation I gave them last year when I refused to rake my leaves or mow my lawn. It was also last summer that I lost my bid to be president of the neighborhood association.

As I write this, snow is starting to fall again.

I’ll grab a cup of hot chocolate and watch all the activities from my living room window.

It pains me to see my neighbors working so hard. Maybe I’m just an optimist, but I know that someday all my problems will just melt away.

dispatches » Protect your wood floors – Are you tired of your playful pooch scratching up your lovely hardwood floors? ReadyMade DIY expert Amy Devers suggests an oil change. “An oil finish like Woca oils is just as durable as polyurethane but less slick, guaranteeing more sure-footed dog action,” she told Paw Nation. “A few coats of wax can help, too.”

-www.pawnation.com » Stem cells to help dog’s hip – A former Oregon military dog that did two tours of duty sniffing out bombs in Iraq is going to receive stem cell therapy to treat osteoarthritis in his hips. The 80-pound, sevenyear-old German shepherd has arthritis in his hips, which can lead to early death for larger dogs. Surgery options such as hip replacement have a limited chance of success for older dogs. MediVet-America offers a stem cell treatment for joint problems in dogs and horses using the animal's own stem cells to regenerate damaged tissue.

Physical contact is good for your canine CANINES

By John Mikesells Ensure that your dog feels good about physical contact with you.

Your dog will tell you.

An owner who is skilled at observing and reading their dog’s body language is usually well aware when a canine pal is even slightly uncomfortable.

That’s note to self time; an opportunity to help change a mildly unhappy association to a very happy one, to avoid trouble down the road. Many owners, however, don’t notice until the dog is putting up major resistance. At that point it’s a much larger project to change the now well established negative association. Once again, prevention is better than cure.

If you are working with a pup or a young dog that doesn’t have many associations yet, don’t let him become even slightly uncomfortable. Treat every new procedure as an opportunity to make wonderful associations with handling procedures you may perform with him over the years.

Procedures Here are just few examples of some procedures you can help your dog learn to love.

Reaching for the collar: I would bet you can’t even count how many times this has happened to your dog, whether it’s reaching to put on a leash, to restrain him as a jogger goes by, to put him in his crate, or to hold him while you doo something else to him. Most of the time grabbing for his collar is more reinforcing for you than for your dog, and he learns to shy away from you. This can be a serious safety concern, especially for those times when you have to grab him to protect him or prevent him from doing something inappropriate that could get him injured.

A game called Gotcha could help. It helps to give positive reinforcement when reaching for the

collar, say gotcha and give a treat.

Other touching issues are applying medications, lifting, and wiping paws. With all of these procedures and treat before any of these procedures makes an ifference.Always use positive reinforcement...

WHAT YOU CAN DO • Learn more about dog body language so you can identify the procedures that are making your dog slightly un easy • Make a list of procedures your dog isn’t happy about- the slightly uneasy ones as well as the obvious ones.

• Select three to start with, perhaps two that your dog is slightly irritated with and one that causes him obvious annoyance, and start working on changing his association with them, or teaching him new operant behaviors.

Pets of the week Durango is a three-year-old male Lab/Rottweiler mix. Durango is a very handsome 60-pound boy who really enjoys human companionship. He has never met a stranger and will glad play games like tag and go for walks with anyone willing to spend some time with him. Durango is a very affectionate guy so his new family needs to understand he is going to want to give them kisses everyday when they come home. He has a great temperament and will do well in a home with children old enough to handle his size and energy.

Koala is a four-year-old female dilute Tortie DSH. Koala is a sweet girl who loves attention but can be a bit reserved with new people because she hasn’t been very socialized. She also can be a little shy around children only because she hasn’t been around them, but she would do well with a child who is kind, considerate and will go slow with her. Koala is fine with other cats and just wants a quiet home to call her own.
