Putman selected to attend Siemens STEM Institute

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Matthew Putman, a Westfield High School teacher, has been selected as one of only 50 middle and high school educators from across the country to take part in the exclusive Siemens STEM Institute fellowship, designed to bring teachers to the cutting edge of science, technology, engineering and math education. Putman is also featured by Siemens in a USA Today ad for his selection.

“I am excited to take what I learn at the Siemens STEM Institute and apply it in my classroom activities to further motivate and inspire my students’ interest in all four areas of STEM,” said Putman. “I also plan on collaborating and sharing the information with my fellow teachers.”

Putman teaches engineering and technology education classes at WHS. He received both his bachelor’s and master’s of science in technology from Purdue University. After spending a year training engineers on advanced modeling software, Putman realized his true calling was teaching, specifically at the high school level.

For the past eight years, he has taught pre-engineering courses from the extensive training he has received from Project Lead The Way. Additionally, he has been recognized by several professional organizations and awarded the National School Boards Association “20 to Watch” educator, IPL Golden Apple Educator and three Westfield Education Foundation Grants.

The Siemens STEM Institute is a one-of-a-kind, all-expense-paid weeklong immersion program that promotes hands-on, real-world integration of STEM in the classroom. The Siemens STEM Institute will take place July 29 to Aug. 3 just outside of Washington, D.C., at the world headquarters of Discovery Communications – the world’s No. 1 nonfiction media company and home to such television networks as Discovery Channel, Science and Animal Planet.

Putman and the other selected educators will be exposed to

leading scientists, thought-leaders, personalities and innovators whose work across STEM disciplines shape and define our world today. The week will be filled with guest speakers at the forefront of STEM, field trips to leading institutions where Fellows will observe real-world applications of STEM subject matter and opportunities for networking and collaborating with peers from across the nation.

The goal of the Siemens STEM Institute is to create a group of STEM ambassadors who can take what they learn back into their own classrooms and become key influencers in their schools and communities. The Siemens STEM Institute specifically sought applicants who wanted to become STEM leaders and help change the way STEM subjects are taught in American classrooms.

Hinkle Creek Friends Church, 21617 Hinkle Rd., in Noblesville celebrated its 175th anniversary last year, but the tale of the congregation begins all the way back in 1833. Settlers began moving into the Deming community at that time and homesteaded much of the land in this area. In 1905, remodeling of the building began following a revival service by Evangelist Carrie Taylor (pictured). During that remodeling, the Meeting House’s wall, which ran through the center of the room and divided worship areas between men and women and children, was removed. The candles that lit the church were replaced with coal oil lights and heating stoves were installed on both sides of the building. The old obscure glass windows were replaced with stained glass.

In Westfield, the Parks and Recreation Dept. received $10,000.

The grants, specifically earmarked for projects supporting tourism development and marketing, are part of an annual overall investment of almost $500,000 in tourism community development initiatives by the HCCVB in 2012. Other funds support the Nickel Plate Arts initiative and debt service on the Tourism Development Bond, an expansive community development initiative launched in 2011.

Oak Trace dedicates courtyard to memory of student Spencer Lancaster

Photos by Robert Herrington

By Robert Herrington • robert@yourarecurrent.com Oak Trace Elementary School students work on a schoolwide art project every year, but this year’s assignment was more personal. The butterfly mosaic and garden in the school’s courtyard was recently dedicated to Spencer Lancaster, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2008 and died Aug. 28, 2011, at the age of 8. Lancaster was a student at the school from kindergarten to third grade.

“Oak Trace opened 12 years ago. I wanted Spencer there to be a very special place (on the school grounds), but I never found it,” Oak Trace Principal Robin Lynch said during the dedication with her students and Spencer’s family members in attendance. “He was a dear friend and someone very, very special. This is a way for us to remember him always … I hope this does your son justice. I wanted to find the perfect place for him, and I think I did.”

Lynch said students knew their artwork had a purpose – to represent Spencer.

“He just exemplified courage. Even when he was extremely ill and in pain, he just wanted to be at school every day and be with his friends,” she said. “No matter the hardships or pain, he had that joy for life and courage. I think he taught a lot of people a lot of important lessons.”

Spencer’s mother, Jill Lancaster, said that he was in hospice care during the first day of school this year, but his third grade classroom still had a desk with his name on it.

“His teacher told me he’d always be a part of the class,” she said. “The teachers and Robin have been so supportive. They were there the day he died.”

Jill explained that the butterfly came to be Spencer’s symbol – a beautiful creature that grew and changed from one life cycle to another. On Thanksgiving Eve 2010, Spencer was asked to paint what made him happy.

“He loved art,” said Jill. “It was the last thing he could do independently.”

Spencer painted a red and blue polka dot butterfly. When asked by his parents why he picked a butterfly, he told them, “They’re just fun and happy.”

“That was just his thing – he watched and loved butterflies,” Jill said.

In addition to the Oak Trace students, the Lancasters created three butterflies that were incorporated into the mosaic. Jill www.currentinwestfield.com

said that one of the pieces was colored identically to Spencer’s painting.

“It makes a place for him to always be here,” she said. “We didn’t think that his kindergarten graduation would be his only graduation.”

“It’s awesome. A lot of people we don’t know put a lot of work into it,” added Spencer’s father, Shawn. “Hopefully it will be here for years to come.”

saic. Simmermon previously taught at Oak Trace in 2008 when she covered art classes while the regular teacher was on medical leave – Spencer was a kindergartener at that time.

Simmermon said the students worked together on the mosaic project in the multi-purpose room, sometimes 100 at a time. She explained that instead of each student having one piece they worked on from start to finish, students worked collectively on the project – creating the butterflies, adding texture and coloring the pieces.

“The empathy they displayed was evident,” she said. “I heard many students say, ‘This is for Spencer.’ There was an extreme amount of pride in creating their work. They knew why they were coming together to work. It’s art from the heart.”

As she stood staring at the finished product, which included flowers and butterfly mosaics on the brick walls and butterflies hanging from the lone tree in the courtyard, Simmermon was extremely proud of the work and memorial the students created.

“It’s a great space to come out and enjoy the nature and weather,” she said.

“It’s a way for us to remember him always as a member of our school. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to,” added Lynch.

“It’s a creative piece of art. I think it is just beautiful!”

Opinion

Super-size government It is our position that dictating what Americans eat and drink should not be within the realm of government.

Apparently, the ongoing issues of education, unemployment, health care reform, homelessness and crime aren’t enough to keep lawmakers busy.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks super-size sugary sodas are putting the “big” in residents of The Big Apple and has introduced a resolution to ban them from being sold in certain restaurants and entertainment venues. Ironically, it was Bloomberg who campaigned to get an amendment passed in 2008 to super size his term in office.

While the First Lady’s Healthy Food Initiative is positive in that it has reintroduced gardening as a hobby and as a low-cost source of healthy food, it has put the kibosh on super-size candy bars and served as the catalyst for federal regulations banning soda from being sold in schools during the lunch hour. A school in Utah was recently fined $15,000 for a violation.

Unfortunately, schools have to use a lot of processed food because of regulations, budget and liability issues. If government can pave the way for old school lunch ladies to truly cook again, more power to them.

Super-size government should super size the real priorities in this country, super quick.

Keystone/96th revision: Our region needs it

Misplaced loyalty

Commentary by Terry Anker

Why does it seem that most elected officials don’t retire naturally? They run until they are forced resentfully from office. Some voters accuse the politicians of an egomaniacal power-grab while others believe these mature statesmen have the most to offer and must continue to serve. Whatever the perspective, most of us count ourselves as loyal. We love our friends, our team mascot and our national flag. In fact, studies show that once we settle on a beer brand we almost never change it.

Even dogs are lauded for their faithfulness.

Could politicians continue to campaign out of some sense of misplaced loyalty to those in their employ?

When a fresh-faced member of our U.S. Congress goes to D.C., they are first challenged with building a staff. In addition to hiring from the pool of professional bureaucrats lurking in the shadow of Capital Hill, they bring with them a handful of devoted kids from their district back home. Together they march to Washington, ready to make a

difference. Then life happens. In the subsequent years, these “kids” grow up living in the beltway. They meet and marry in Virginia (not their home states). Their children are born residents of the Imperial City, not the small town from which their roots sprang.

By the time a U.S. Senator, for example, has served a few terms, her close-knit staff is no longer representative of the folks, well, represented. Considering reelection, are those most proximate to the senator entirely selfinterested? They say: you have more to do to serve our country. They mean: one more term and my kid will be out of school (“he is your Godson, senator”). They say: your state needs you. They imagine: what will I do without the job your office provides to me? Compared to personal interest, does the state always lose?

With all due respect to business owners in the Keystone Parkway/96th Street area, the recent news of the state’s decision to not pursue a roundabout now will have ramifications for our region. For drivers from Zionsville on the west to Fishers on the east, and multiple points in between, the intersection has proved nothing short of a traffic-management disaster. We know of several people that go out of their way to avoid that intersection and its miserable snarl of traffic. We do hear and understand the fears of merchants in that area; they justifiably worry about what yet another round of road construction would do to their businesses. In our opinion, a roundabout would pay dividends into the future for those that drive through or to that area and the businesses that would be reached with relative ease by comparison. The project still is on the books, but the two thoroughfares will be “war zones” once U.S. 31 shuts down for its hyperfix. It’s easy to write what should happen, because our business is not situated in that area of the marketplace.

That stated, we’d consider it a noble and defining act if Gov. Mitch Daniels and his team found a way to step up and let everyone have his or her cake and eat it, too. It can happen. More than that, it needs to happen. We can’t have that intersection be a wrench in the motoring-andcommerce works any longer than it has to be.

Summer family blockbusters Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Summer is here, my friends, and for me, it means two things: multiple opportunities for buttered corn at the movies and freedom from the daily grind of homework, bus stops and brown bag lunches. But these perks come with a cost – namely weight gain and delinquent children. So taking my cue from Rotten Tomatoes, here are some certified “fresh picks” for surviving the longest of the long school vacations: Amish Day: Horror. At least for my kids. The idea of surviving even one afternoon without their beloved Xbox or Kindle or iPod is enough to throw them into hysterics. But my husband and I both agree that they will not waste the beautiful weather hunkered down in the basement sniping Nazi zombies. So one day per week shall henceforth be designated Amish Day. Bedtimes on Elm Street: Legal Thriller. John Grisham could learn a few things about courtroom drama from our offspring at bedtime.

They argue, mediate, bribe and stall just like real lawyers. But setting and enforcing consistent bedtimes is a must if our children are to get the rest they need, so as justices, Doo and I bring the gavel down on their antics. We simply can’t handle the truth of too few Z’s.

Fun After Reading: BBC Documentary.

Important yet oh-so-boring, we are once again requiring our precious little angels to participate

in the library summer reading program. They’ll resist, right up until they discover there are actually good books out there.

Revenge of the Chores, Part 2: Foreign. Our kids have household responsibilities throughout the school year, but for some reason they think June marks the beginning of some kind of chore sabbatical. So getting them to continue with laundry, dishes, lawn mowing and cat care is like watching a Spanish soap opera – over-thetop drama with unrelenting eye rolling and cleavage-clutching gasps. A chore chart will continue to dominate our Frigidaire, muchas gracias.

The Family Wilson: Comedy/Drama. Last year we instituted a game night, but this year we’ve switched things up and are starting a weekly Wilson movie night. Each of us will get the chance to select a film that the whole family must watch. This could go one of two ways, hence the double genre label. Hopefully, we will have tons of fun critiquing each other’s picks, but as in all families, chances are high that someone’s feelings will get hurt. Let the games begin….

Peace out.

Olympics for the average Commentary by Mike Redmond

I read an article the other day about bringing back events that have disappeared from the Olympics – things like softball, dueling pistol target shooting, two-handed javelin and, my personal favorite, tug-of-war.

I doubt the movement to return the tug-ofwar to Olympian heights is going to gain much traction. It has, however, given me an idea.

We can’t all be the regular kind of Olympic athletes. Who has the time? All that work, the practice, the training … why, you’d have to miss an entire season of “The Bachelorette” and cut your pizza consumption by as much as a third.

So I’m thinking, we already have an Olympics for the elite runners, jumpers, gymnasts, swimmers and such. Why not an Olympics for the rest of us, doing the sorts of things that are more within our skill sets?

Tug-of-war is just the beginning. Think of the possibilities for events in the Regular People Olympics: Potato sack races. Egg toss. Red Rover. Dodge ball. Flashlight tag. Kickball. Beanbag toss. Yahtzee. Juggling. Slapjack. Beer pong.

Of course, those are kiddie games, except maybe for the beer pong. That’s more of an arrested adolescent game. Perhaps we should include some modern adult competitions based on Real Life As We Know It in 2012: • Indoor two-handed electronic device manipulation (two divisions: TV remote and

smart phone).

• Individual errands medley (grocery store, dry cleaners, pharmacy, post office, pick up kids from school).

• Multi-tasking relay (the American working mom should be a gold-medal contender in this one).

• Riding lawnmower slalom.

• Individual, two-man and four-man barbeque.

• Team drinking.

• Cookie toss. (You could actually combine this one with team drinking for the Alcohol Biathlon.)

• 20 kilometer dog walk.

What do you think? No? I guess you’re right.

It would never fly. The Olympics stand for something, and that something isn’t floating on your back in an inflatable pool.

But while I admire Olympic athletes for what they do, I also believe this: Some days, most days, just getting up and living your life – your Real Life As You Know It In 2012 – is its own kind of tug-of-war, except you’re not pulling the rope. You’re pushing it. Life As You Know it is an Olympian challenge, you might say.

And just getting through it wins the medal.

Sigh of relief

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Have you ever been caught pandiculating in a public place? My wife gets annoyed when she catches me doing it anywhere. She thought once we were married, I’d quit. But we’ve been married a long time and I haven’t been able to stop.

Pandiculation, as I’m sure you already knew, is the act of yawning. We don’t know how long people have been yawning, but we do know how long people yawn for: on average, about six seconds. Your yawn may vary.

Whatever the cause, I’ve always found it embarrassing to be talking to someone and suddenly start yawning. That’s when some loser says, “I’m not boring you, am I?” Here’s my response: “Not at all. People yawn when the pressure in their ears differs from the outside pressure, or from the partial collapse of the air sacs in their lungs, prompting the brain to make them yawn, thus getting more oxygen into the lungs.”

“Okay, Dick, now you’re boring me.”

My dog and cat always yawn when they see me.

Your pets do the same thing to you, don’t they?

Please tell me they do. And when I get undressed with my dog in the room, first he takes a look, then he yawns. I try not to take it personally.

My wife doesn’t yawn very much, which I thought was pretty good evidence of what a 14 | June 12, 2012

snappy conversationalist I am, but at times she does exhibit paralinguistic respiration – meaning she sighs audibly. Unlike most cinema reviewers who employ either the thumbs up or five-star criteria, Mary Ellen practices the sigh standard, exhibited most often when I drag her to a flick she really doesn’t want to see. For example: “Con Air” got six sighs while “The Avengers” earned eight sighs. And at the newly released “The Three Stooges,” she sighed so many times the man sitting next to us thought she was in cardiac arrest and called 911.

Unlike a sigh, a yawn is involuntary. Mary Ellen and I were at a wedding and I desperately tried to suppress a yawn so as not to appear rude or uninterested in the ceremony. My face got all twisted and scrunched, but I did manage to successfully incorporate the words “I do” into my pandiculation. Even the minister was impressed.

I hope you think this topic was worth writing about. Personally, I don’t think it’s anything to sternutate at. You can look that one up. But here’s a hint: Gesundheit!

The Great American Songbook Vocal Competition brings young performers and professional talent to Carmel

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com This Friday, The Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative will host The Great American Songbook Final High School Vocal Competition. This annual event showcases high school talent from the Midwest and now a large portion of the country while giving students a week of professional-quality education with several award-winning celebrity performers.

“We originally saw (the competition) as our chance to expose youth to this great music,” said Chris Lewis, The Great American Songbook Initiative’s Director of Education, “but now, it goes Lewis beyond simply achieving our initial mission. Now there is a huge educational component as well.”

The first competition was held in 2009 and included five states across the Midwest. Selected students took part in an initial competition within their state. From there, finalists were determined and performed in the final, which

included a monetary prize to the winner and runners-up.

Last year, the competition went on a brief hiatus while waiting for the completion of the Palladium. Coming back from this break, Lewis took the opportunity to increase the scope of the competition as well as enhance the educational component.

“Originally if 100 students entered, only about 10 would experience the academy,” said Lewis.

This year, the competition has been expanded to four different regions, two of which include New York and California. Through expanded online registration, the competition received nearly 200 applicants from across the country. Finalists were then chosen in several regional competitions, each featuring one day of master classes and workshops. Now, 40 students get to experience the Academy, which was one of the Initiative’s primary goals.

The finalists are attending the complete academy experience all this week in Indianapolis. A wide array of classes and workshops are being taught by industry veterans and celebrity professionals such as Michael Feinstein, Sandy Patti and Sylvia McNair. While the students’

personal experience levels may vary, the aim of the academy is to help them become as great a performer and a professional as possible.

“We have seen 18 year olds that are already accepted to a program coming in really polished and then 14-year-old freshmen that are also really strong, so it’ll be interesting,” said Lewis.

The final performance will feature several musical numbers including the competition’s finalists and group numbers featuring many of the celebrity judges such as Michael Feinstein and Sandi Patti.

“It’s less American Idol and more … something that I can’t really describe,” said Lewis.

“It’s going to be an incredible show.”

The Great American Songbook Vocal Competition will be held this Friday at 7 p.m. at Palladium (1 Center Green, Carmel). Tickets are $25 to $50 general, $10 student and included in admission to Saturday’s Encore Celebration. Tickets are available online at thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Heart disease: know the basics Commentary by Chintan Amin, MD, IU Health Physicians Internal Medicine

Affecting both men and women, “heart disease” refers to conditions that affect the function of the heart, such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias.

Coronary artery disease is a type of heart disease that begins when plaque builds up along the walls of arteries. This buildup narrows the arteries, restricting proper blood flow. If left unchecked, heart disease increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Whether or not you have a family history of heart disease, it’s important to understand the risk factors for the condition, which include: • Smoking • Hypertension (high blood pressure) • Sedentary lifestyle • Obesity, especially excess fat in the central abdominal region • Elevated cholesterol • Diabetes mellitus (metabolic disorder resulting in elevated blood glucose) Practicing a healthy lifestyle, which includes good nutrition and exercise, is a good way to help prevent heart disease. Most people should engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. This helps control blood pressure and weight. Talk with your primary care doctor before beginning any exercise program. As for diet and nutrition, choosing the

Long-term care workshop Wednesday editorial@youarecurrent.com AAA Insurance will host a long-term care workshop at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the AAA Hoosier Motor Club Carmel office, 1130 AAA Way. Participants will learn about risks and costs associated with long-term care as well as what programs such as Medicare and Medicaid actually cover. Attendees will also learn about the types of insurance available to them and how to determine whether or not they can afford to self-insure.

Long-term care encompasses a variety of services and offerings to help meet an individual’s health and/or personal care needs over an extended period of time.

The majority of long-term care actually involves non-skilled personal care assistance for daily activities such as bathing, dressing, eating and in-home mobility.

Wednesday’s event is free to AAA members age 40 and older, but seating is limited and advance reservations are required. To register, visit www.aaa.com/ longtermcare or call 923-1500, ext. 370. www.currentinwestfield.com

right foods, such as fruits, vegetables and lean proteins, and avoiding excessive amounts of caffeine, sugar and salt also are good ways to prevent heart disease. Additionally, adults should have periodic preventive health exams and testing so that fasting cholesterol and glucose levels, as well as blood pressure, can be checked and treated, if necessary.

While there is no one symptom that signals the onset of heart disease, there are a number of warning signs. Some of the most common include: • Chest pain or pressure • Unexplained pain in the back, chest, neck or arm • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • Palpitations or “fluttering” in the chest • Indigestion, heartburn – and sometimes even nausea or loss of appetite Although these symptoms can indicate heart disease, they also may be related to many other conditions. Generally, I recommend contacting your doctor if you have new or unusual symptoms to ensure you are properly evaluated. If your doctor suspects heart disease, he or she will likely refer you for further testing.

DOUGH

Business

Using your big words Commentary by David Cain Business meetings are tough enough, but one sure way to turn off customers is using a lot of industry-specific jargon.

Every industry has their own lexicon, including acronyms and shortcuts that only industry insiders understand.

It’s a natural tendency for all of us to talk in terms we understand, even if we are discussing things with people outside of our industry circles.

It’s the business equivalent of telling inside jokes that only someone who’s known you for years understands. It’s like telling secrets or talking in code. Even if you take the time to explain what your terms mean, often it is an afterthought or in response to your attendees’ inquiry. And, really, no one truly wants to learn your industry – they just want you to know it and explain it in a way that makes sense to them.

In business meetings, just like any gathering, you’ll find your attendees will be more willing

to listen, believe and act on what you’re meeting about if you speak in a language that includes them. Even if you explain what your terms mean, you are better off avoiding industry-specific terms and talk in universal terms.

Industry jargon will confuse your customer or client and, what’s worse, make them have to think – and thinking leads to indecision.

Clean it up and leave the industry lexicon for the water cooler. Impress your prospects and clients by using simple terms and alternative descriptions and analogies for your industry language. What you’ll find is a greater understanding and an audience more willing to take action because they are included and feel just as smart and up-to-speed as you are.

You / Family

Step into your greatness Commentary by Kristen Boice Do you ever feel like you can’t get out of your head? Your mind is filled with the same thoughts that play over and over. Do you worry and have a lot of anxiety? Are you operating out of fear? Are these blocks to stepping into your worth?

When we start waking up to our inner self, we can start changing it. Awareness is the first step toward making change. Below are some immediate steps you can take to begin shifting your self-worth and stepping into your greatness.

1. Change your thoughts. Your thoughts determine your feelings, and your feelings determine your behavior.

It’s important we work on changing our thoughts. When you are fearful or anxious, focus on being grateful. It can be as simple as being thankful for the ability to see or hear or observing nature and noticing what you appreciate. An attitude of gratitude can instantly change your mood.

Keep a gratitude journal and write in it to start and end your day.

2. Do something different. Have you heard the saying, “What you resist will persist”? Are you in resistance to something in your life, such as change, because you are afraid of pain, getting hurt or fail-

ing? If so, you are going to stay stuck in the same pattern and way of thinking and being. If you do the same thing, you will get the same results. For example, when you feel angry or afraid, instead of yelling, screaming or withdrawing, take a walk and be intentional about it.

3. Try out different ways of being. If you want more joy in your life, try stepping into joyfulness. Walk around as if you are joyful. If you want to be more flexible, try being flexible in different situations.

We are all born pure souls, and then we are layered with childhood stuff, trauma, society, peer pressure and so on. We want to get back to who we are at the core.

4. Develop a vision. We think in pictures. Picture the vision for your life and how you want to be or act. Having a vision can lead you to change your thoughts, feelings and to take action.

You are here for a purpose! It’s never too late to get rid of the old negative tapes that started early in your life and be the person you were created to be.

Family history advice column a helpful find Commentary by Darla Kinney Scoles Recently I discovered “Dear Myrtle,” a genealogy blog that takes reader questions and answers them publicly for the benefit of all. Tagged as “Your friend in genealogy since 1995,” “Dear Myrtle” has won all sorts of accolades for its service to searchers. I’m apparently behind in finding this gem only of late. But that’s OK – any family history junkie will concur that we find things just when we need them in this endeavor.

Averaging 400 posts per year, the Q-and-A blog covers a lot of territory – from multiple marriage questions and military records of the sick and wounded, to British royal staff records. No stone is left unturned in delving into a question, either. Sometimes the answer is simply that more evidence is needed still.

The blog also includes lessons for those just starting out, organization tips for those buried in paperwork chaos, webinars, suggested books and even Tweets for those who like their genealogy on the go.

Seek advice from “Dear Myrtle” at blog.dearmyrtle.com Now that I’ve found the place with all the answers, which of my 5,637 questions should I ask Myrtle first?

The dangerous Gospel of Jesus Commentary by Bob Walters If one clearly hears the facts of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, one’s heart will be changed by it – one will love it and want more, hate it and want it to go away or develop a conflicting mix of passion, awakening, curiosity, fear, courage, thankfulness, incredulousness, revulsion, anger, confusion and maybe faith … or maybe not.

But there’s one thing guaranteed: ambivalence isn’t an option. So says Dallas preacher Matt Chandler in his recently published “The Explicit Gospel,” a book I’m very much enjoying.

Chandler isn’t rewriting the Gospel message; he’s encouraging Christians to crave, pursue and know – and for preachers to preach – what the Gospels actually say and reveal about God, eternity and our relationship with the divine.

Chandler wisely counsels us to de-emphasize what we want the Gospels to say or hear spurious preachers say. Instead we must focus on and exhort the totality of all that the Gospels really describe about our relationship with God. That can be a dangerous thing, Chandler notes, because upon hearing the Gospel a person’s soul will either soften or harden toward God’s grace.

Softening leads toward heaven and the danger of being rejected by the world; hardening leads to-

ward hell, and hell is as dangerous as it gets.

But hell isn’t the point. Preaching the truth of Christ is the point, and that’s Chandler’s point.

He presents a thorough, biblically buttressed dialectic of how the Bible itself supports the truth of the Gospel if only we read it entirely and preachers preach it explicitly.

Chandler cites John chapter six as an example. Everyone loves the story of Jesus miraculously feeding the 5,000 (verses 1-15). But read on (verses 25-71) and discover that Jesus says He is the bread of life, and that for us to be truly fed God requires us “to believe in the One he has sent.” And Jesus really, really means it.

You can’t preach the miraculous receiving if you won’t preach the serious believing. That is called “subtracting” from the Gospels and, sorry – half a loaf won’t get anyone into heaven.

Our hearts and minds must be strong enough to hear the truth of the explicit Gospel (e.g.

John 3:16-17; 14:6-7). Chandler is telling us to be sure to hear it all.

Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com) appreciates that while our only true peace is in Christ, His Gospel truth can be horrifying to a hardened heart.

Pray boldly to hear.

Windows 8: Going 'smarter' Commentary by Ken Colburn I’m in the market for a new computer; when will Windows 8 be out and is it worth getting? - Stanley Windows 8 is Microsoft’s ambitious attempt to create a new operating system that would allow users to work the same on a PC as they would on a tablet or smartphone.

Windows 8 will use a tiled dashboard as its home screen (called Metro) that looks very much like the touch interface on current Windows Phone 7 smartphones.

Underneath this dashboard is the traditional Desktop minus some old familiar items like the Start button, which is disorienting at first.

I’m predicting that a large number of users will scream, “I want my old Windows back” when they first begin navigating this semi-familiar portion of the operating system, but over time, the new interface will allow you quicker access to information and programs that you want.

As of this writing, Windows 8 is still in a test version (currently called Release Preview) and should only be installed by IT pros and software developers that have a spare computer that can be sacrificed for testing purposes.

Test or "beta" versions should never be installed on a computer that has any important data or on the only machine you own, as you are almost guaranteed to have problems.

Microsoft hasn’t announced a release date as of yet, but the latest information we have suggests that computer manufacturers may start getting their "Release To Manufacturing" version so they can start their build process in late July.

If the process follows previous releases, we might start seeing computers pre-installed with

Windows 8 hit the market starting in October.

Even then, unless you are an ‘early adopter’ that doesn’t mind dealing with being the first to discover a new problem, I’d suggest holding off on jumping into the Windows 8 pool.

Letting a few million hardcore techies play with the public release version before you take on the challenge will generally save you a lot of grief. Lots of Web sites and YouTube videos (including ours) will publish all the do’s and don’ts for migrating to Windows 8 if you give the tech community some time to compile the intelligence.

Microsoft always offers special upgrades for those buying a computer with an older operating system close to the launch of a new OS. The Windows 8 upgrade will be available for those buying a new Windows 7 computer between June 2 and Jan. 31, 2013 and allows an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $14.99 (via a download).

If you plan on upgrading an existing computer to Windows 8, you will definitely want to wait for a while after it’s released, as this scenario is traditionally the one that has the highest likelihood of issues.

If you want to get a better understanding of how Windows 8 will work, you can view a handful of videos that Microsoft has posted here: http://goo.gl/tUFbw

When the honeymoon is over Commentary by Tracy Line

I thought I’d heard it all. But I was wrong.

Last week, Dutch entrepreneur Jim Halfens announced he is opening a new line of hotels. His hotels aren’t the type of place you want to visit twice. In fact, you might hope to never go there at all. Halfens’ hotels offer a unique service: the ability to arrive married and leave single.

At the Divorce Hotel, unhappy couples check in (separate accommodations of course) and relax in five-star quality suites while utilizing the services of an on-site divorce team to terminate their marriage. Guests can check in on Friday, have the divorce drawn up Saturday and leave Sunday with papers in hand. There are currently six boutique hotels throughout the Netherlands. Divorce packages cost between $3,500 and $10,000, depending on the complexity of the couple’s assets and whether or not there is a child custody issue.

Next up is to bring the Divorce Hotel concept to the U.S. With American divorces taking anywhere from months to years, Halfens believes his hotels offer a quick and positive way to end a union. While eager to provide a service, the hotel staff has no desire to mediate a messy divorce. Instead they focus on couples looking to make a clean, amicable split. No life change is all roses though, so the hotel also has psychologists available for those needing help in adjust-

July 3rd & 4th at Carmel Civic Square BROUGHT TO YOU BY: ing to the single life.

According to the New York Times, 16 of the 17 married couples that have checked into the hotel have successfully left with divorce papers.

One guest even had a champagne toast with his ex-wife after it was all said and done. Can you guess what’s next? A reality show about the hotel and its guests. Ugh. Talks with two U.S. production companies are already taking place.

Gardening is for the birds Commentary by Holly Lindzy

Each morning for the past month I’ve watched cardinals, robins and catbirds devouring my serviceberry fruit, less than 10 feet from my seat on the porch. It’s been my favorite part of the day.

Not only that, but I’ve also noted the hummingbirds back at my fuchsia, catmint and agastache. What fun! And there are several bird species that gather and flit in the burning bush hedge across the street. We see the same families from day to day and how they’ve grown. I love it!

I think that’s why I’ve decided gardening is for the birds . . . sincerely.

Used to be, I’d spend my mornings filling and refilling birdfeeders. I enjoyed putting out quality seed like safflower and thistle and watching the birds flock and riot over who’d be next.

Before long, all the ruckus over thieving squirrels and empty feeders had me worn out. Not to mention somewhat broke.

That’s why in recent years, I’ve taken to planting things around my yard specifically for the

birds to feast on so I can observe them in a more natural environment – and it’s much more economical.

For example, my Black-eyed Susan is in brilliant bloom right now, but by the end of the summer it will be mobbed by finches reaping the seed. And its bee balm companion? The hummingbirds will be stopping at it until the end of summer. Come fall, I hope to find a bird’s nest in my Rose of Sharon. If I’m lucky, it’s a hummingbird’s.

Gardening is so much more than just flowers.

As much as I loved shopping at the Feed and Seed, I find it more rewarding to see the birds enjoy things naturally, as it was meant to be – squirrels and all.

And, it gives me an excuse to buy more plants.

Holly Lindzy is an Indiana accredited horticulturalist and advanced master gardener residing in Noblesville.

Summery – If you want to redecorate and also want to go for a more natural look, whitewashed wood paneling and sea grass floor lighten up a room, add texture and give a very breezy, unique look. southernliving.com Crashing waves – If you're going for a more ocean-inspired scene in your home, take jars and fill them with sand, adding a few sea shells and rocks.

If they're keepsakes, label each jar with a time and place. - almanac.com

Shapes – Creating an outdoor space, but find that it seems to be disconnected from the rest of your home?

Make space – Planning to remodel a small kitchen? Sacrifice counter space for wider walkways so you don’t feel crowded, and add a swing-out tap if you constantly need water near the stove. - southernliving.com

UBER BOUTIQUE

New master bath gives spa-like experience Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL BATHROOM: This home, located in the Carolina Commons subdivision on the east side of Carmel, was built in 1985, and the current homeowners purchased the home in 2000. According to the owners, “The bathroom was a typical ’80s style, with a large garden tub, dark wood, bulkheads, low sinks and a small shower. We were thinking about moving out of the neighborhood, but we like the area and our lot, so we decided to invest in the house. We started with a kitchen remodel and then moved to the master bath.”

SPA-LIKE DESIGN: The owners worked with the design team to create the vision they wanted. “We travel to nice hotels and spas quite a bit, and brought ideas from those places into our bathroom design. We spend a lot of time in the master bath, and we wanted a spa feel in our home.”

MASTER BATH DETAILS: The project included a new walk-in shower with pebble mosaic tiled floor, natural Gobi slate tile walls, LED lighting and Brizo Virage plumbing fixtures in oil-rubbed bronze. A new Kohler Archer dropin soaking tub includes a slate surround and matching cabinet panels on the front. The cabinetry is antique-white custom maple cabinetry with a brown glaze and center tower cabinet.

The owner commented, “My favorite part of the new bathroom is the large shower, with multiple 28 | June 12, 2012

“Our customers love Linnea’s Lights because of their unique scents and how nicely they burn.

We are also proud to say they are made locally.”

– ANNE BRANHAM jets, the pebble floor, the soft LED lighting and the slate walls with built-in niches. At first I was a little worried about how the pebbles would feel, but they feel like a little massage on your feet. The heated floors are nice, too. We enjoy having plenty of room in the shower.”

A SPACE JUST FOR YOU: The homeowners noted, “When you spend time and money on a kitchen remodel, you are doing it for yourself and for others, like family and friends. When you do a master bath remodel, you are doing it for yourself only. It is nice to have a space that is all your own.”
