Introducing 4KidsHealth.

A free iPhone app for kids’ health advice at your fingertips.

Your child’s health problems don’t follow a schedule — they happen during the holidays, on weekends, at night or other times your doctor might be unreachable. But that shouldn’t stop you from getting the health advice you need, quickly and conveniently.

The new 4KidsHealth app from Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent gives you smart, dependable kids’ health advice, right when you need it. It’s an ideal tool for parents on the go, providing access to these useful features:

First Aid. CPR instructions, common medication dosage tables, and first aid care instructions for children and adults.

MonogramMaternity.com

Connect to Help. Use the app to connect directly to 911, your child’s doctor or a nearby emergency department.

Medication Dosage. Provides medication dosage tables by child’s weight and age for common over-the-counter medications.

The 4KidsHealth iPhone app is an addition to the great services of 317-338-KIDS — a 24/7 nurse advice line — and KidsHealthLine.com — and it’s another reason why Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent is your best local resource for children’s health information.

If you’re a parent who enjoys the reassurance of having access to answers at your fingertips, 4KidsHealth is perfect for you. Best of all, it’s free. Get the 4KidsHealth app on your iPhone at KidsHealthLine.com/4Kids.

Symptom Checker. Look up your child’s symptoms for care advice.

Quick Parent Advice. Get fast, clinically based advice on toilet training, eating habits and behavioral concerns.

The St.Vincent Medical Weight Loss Program Surgery isn’t always the best option for everyone. That’s why at the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence we provide an alternative method for significant weight loss.

Our medical weight loss program is a multidisciplinary weight management program within the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence coordinated by Adrienne Gomez, MD, one of the Center’s bariatricians.

As a part of this program, Dr. Gomez is joined by a registered dietitian, fitness professional and psychologist to provide instruction and counseling that can lead to sustained weight loss.

The program consists of 20 individual sessions over seven months. And all patients receive lab work and feedback, metabolic testing and a personalized diet and exercise plan.

During the second half of the program, patients have the opportunity to choose which interventionist (dietitian, exercise or psychology) they would like to see for the remainder of their visits.

For more information about the St.Vincent Medical Weight Loss Program, call 317-582-8030.

A Family Experience Right from the Start. (any start.)

You probably won’t need our new private NICU rooms.

But if you do, know that the comfort of a private room means fewer distractions, less stress for baby and a lot more time for family. You get the highly specialized care you expect from St.Vincent...and the sweet moments you crave.

It’s the best possible start for your baby — even for starts that aren’t what you expected.

Find out how Monogram Maternity personalizes care, and get a look at our maternity suites and NICU rooms. Visit MonogramMaternity.com or call 317-582-7733 to find out more.

Frontier Communications wins ITA Company of the Year

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Frontier Communications was named the Company of the Year at the Indiana Telecommunications Association’s annual meeting in French Lick. This honor is bestowed upon a company that distinguishes itself through their focus, commitment to their customers, vision, dedication toward market growth, investment impact, internal and external commitment to the state of Indiana.

“Frontier has distinguished itself as a major industry player in Indiana and an outstanding corporate citizen,” said ITA President John Koppin. “With its decision to grow its business in the Hoosier state, Frontier has invested over $100 million in new and upgraded facilities and hired 250 new employees in Indiana earning it a Region 3 Work One Achievement Award from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.”

Presenting the award was Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson and accepting the award was Frontier Midwest Region President Don Banowetz.

“I’m thrilled to accept this award on behalf of the nearly two thousand Frontier employees who work in Indiana,” said Banowetz. “As Frontier approaches the second anniversary on July 1 of acquiring these areas, it’s proof positive that we’re delivering on our commitment and values of customer first, the enhancement of our network and the continued expansion to make broadband services available throughout our service area.”

“All veterans, veteran organizations, families, service clubs and businesses are asked to send their tax-deductible donations to HCV C/O HCVSO, P.O. Box 503, Noblesville, IN 46061,” said Wilson. “Thank you for helping honor our Hamilton County heroes.”

City Council recap

Cars for Kids.

For the second year, during the month of June, a portion of every car sold will go to Riley Children’s Foundation. To take advantage of attractive lease and finance offers, as well as support a great cause, visit Dreyer & Reinbold Infiniti or DreyerReinboldInfiniti.com.

Action: Home Rule Ordinance What it means: Officials have initiated proceedings to consider the possible disposition of the city’s waterworks utility and wastewater. While there is an Indiana Code that provides for a process that a municipality must adhere to when undertaking the sale of non-surplus utility property, there is no code or state process for wastewater utility sales. The Home Rule Ordinance would allow Westfield to create a process to sell its wastewater property.

What’s next: A second reading and possible adoption will come at the June 25 meeting.

Action: Additional appropriations to the fire department general fund What it means: WFD Fire Chief Todd Burtron has asked the City Council to use COIT dollars to replace funds not approved by the DLGF. The budget items were approved previously by the council before being submitted to the DLGF. “It’s not new money, it’s money we should have had in the first place,” Burtron said. The amount requested by the WFD totals $691,837. Burtron explained that five budget items were either decreased or not approved by the DLGF, including: attorney/consultant ($390,514), administrative consulting ($133,000), travel/training ($5,031), services ($161,792) and official bond ($1,500).

What’s next: A second reading and possible adoption will come at the June 25 meeting.

After an hour of listening to public input and deliberation, the Westfield City Council approved the Westfield Washington Public Library’s request to issue $2 million in bonds on June 11. The vote was 5-1 with Council President Robert Horkay casting the lone “no” vote.

The project will redesign some of the space for better operating efficiency and include a dedicated computer lab, quiet study rooms, community/library programming room and a space for its teen patrons.

“We don’t have enough room for anything,” said Vicky Parker, manager of the children’s section, who added that the first day to sign up for the summer reading program had 700 entries. “It’s simply basics, and stuff we needed yesterday.”

“Whatever tax burden comes with this is well worth the cost,” resident Greg Silcox added.

The WWPL Board of Trustees adopted a resolution on April 11 determining that there were not sufficient funds available or provided for in existing tax levies to pay the total cost of the renovation of and improvements to the library. The library was looking to issue bonds in the amount of $2 million for the purpose of renovating its facility.

The $2-million bond will not raise the current tax rate, but will only prolong it. The current debt schedule has library bonds retiring in 2016, which would lower its tax rate 1.6 cents. The new

bond will be added to the books as the other retires, keeping the tax rate steady until 2022.

Councilwoman Cindy Spoljaric said she had not received any negative feedback from the community about the proposed project.

“This is needed,” she said. “We can’t let our infrastructure degrade, and that’s what we are doing.”

“Support is clear from users but I’m not convinced that support is community-wide,” questioned Councilman Steve Hoover.

Hoover said one of his concerns was that a recent survey showed the library was currently meeting the needs of the community. While he believed realignment and renovation were needs, he expressed concern that the addition was a want and not necessary.

“Expansion is truly a want and there are other needs the community has as well,” he said. “This is the hardest decision I’ve had to make since I’ve been on the council . . . If this bond went for a referendum, I think it would be a tough sell.”

While Hoover voted in favor of the bond issuance, Horkay, who shared similar concerns, voted against the project.

“The opportunity for us to lower the tax rate is a no-brainer,” he said.

Vice President John Dippel reminded his colleagues that the library made up a nickel of Westfield’s tax rate of $2.995 per $100 assessed value.

“I don’t know where you are going to get a better bargain,” he said. “It’s not even half a percent of the tax rate.”

Cover story

Westfield’s newest boutique opens for pageants, proms and special occasions

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Cinderella in front of the store on Union Street.

The husband and wife team of Max and Ashley Mason have opened the newest business in Westfield. Cinderella’s Closet is the Midwest’s newest pageant, prom and special occasion’s store.

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a really long time,” said Ashley. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little girl.”

While Cinderella’s Closet is a one stop shop for all your pageant needs, the store also carries pageant gowns, swim wear, interview suits, shoes, jewelry, hair bows, tutu’s and much more. Not just for older girls, Cinderella’s also carries children’s attire for pageants, First Communions and Christenings, and special occasions.

“There was no where locally to get a puffy dress (for a young child),” Ashley said.

The Masons said the store will rent tuxedos and dresses. Cinderella’s also offers trade-ins so girls can bring in last year’s dress for next year’s one. For those looking for something in particular, Cinderella’s offers specialty orders.

“We can order you anything you want and have it in a few days,” said Max. “We’re really excited about prom season and Homecoming.”

Located in a blue house a block north of Ind. 32 on Union Street, Cinderella’s Closet and Boutique offers special occasion and formalwear for “all ages, all sizes.”

“The blue building is like Cinderella – the blue princess,” said Ashley. “It’s a great location. We love the building; we’re just trying to get the word out we’re here.”

Cinderella’s was a spin-off from the Masons Circle City Pageants, which it started years ago.

“We knew all the people and clientele,” Max said.

“We developed a client base – there’s not very many of these type of stores in Indiana,” Ashley added.

The couple averages a pageant a month and two national competitions with more than 100 contestants a year. Their first pageant served as a benefit and girls who donated a toy could enter the pageant for free.

“It was such a fun experience we started putting on more,” said Max, who has traveled to Kansas City and Pittsburgh for pag-

Max and Ashley Mason eants this month.

At their first pageant, little tiara’s were given to every contestant. That concept has been continued by the Masons ever since.

“Everybody wins – a lot of people like that concept,” said Ashley. “Everyone gets an award and has a lot of fun.”

While some television shows have glorified the competitive parents living through their children, the Masons said good sportsmanship is a must at their events.

“We’ve seen them all,” said Max. “The majority of them are good people, family people.”

The pageants hosted by the Masons are not strictly beauty pageants, but ones that include talent and interview portions and provide scholarship money for college.

“It’s not just about being pretty,” Ashley said. “It’d be nice to change the way people think about pageants.”

As residents of Westfield, the Masons said they hope to use their business and expertise to bring “We plan on bringing cool things within the community,” said Max, adding that the events would be family-friendly. “We want to raise money for the community and make it a destination location.”

Opinion Council’s library vote right on the money

Concussion safety It is our position that parents, coaches and student athletes should be aware of the new State of Indiana Head Concussion Law that takes effect July 1. The new law states, “A player suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury in a practice or game shall be removed from play at the time of injury and may not return to play until the student athlete has been evaluated by a licensed health care provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussions and head injuries. The athlete must receive written clearance to return to play from the health care provider.”

The new law places emphasis on awareness and detection of concussions and prohibits reentry of the athlete to practice and/or game play until they are cleared by a licensed health care professional. The law applies to students in grades 9 to 12 playing both interscholastic and intramural sports.

However, the message applies to anyone who suspects they have a concussion.

We applaud the state of Indiana for enacting a strict concussion awareness and management law. After all, a concussion is an injury to the brain, and we all need to understand the seriousness of not managing a brain injury properly.

Travel plans

Commentary by Terry Anker

It always seems easier to be the one gone traveling than to be the one home worrying about an errant wondering family member.

Even as we are tucked-in safe and sound within the confine of our abodes, the place seems somewhat incomplete when a bed, usually filled by a child, spouse or partner, goes unoccupied. While our loved ones are traveling or otherwise out of our line-of-sight, we imagine all sort of calamity that might befall them.

Yet when we are the ones boarding endless airplanes and crossing miles of uncharted territory, we seem more occupied with thoughts of logistics and connecting flights that of separation from the household. Is it true that absence makes the heart grow fonder?

Whatever the reason, it feels good to have the family all together and secure under one roof. Maybe it is a vestige of our cave dwelling ancestry. Perhaps it is just the way that God made us. Given the anxiety created when the family, sans me, is out for an overnight visit

to relatives, I wonder how I will manage the coming months that will include unfettered driving licenses, far-flung travel and eventual college.

One could argue that it is not logical, or even necessarily empirical (studies show that most accidents occur at home, so one could argue that our residences are the most dangerous places to spend time), but we cling to the belief that all behind our front doors we are somehow more secure from the risks of life. Is it an edificial version of the security blanket from our youth? If we wrap ourselves in our personal manifestation of hearth imagining we are impervious to the hooligans and beasts lurking just on the other side, we can forestall the frightening realization that life is fleeting, fragile and precious.

A tip of the hat to the Westfield City Council, which voted 6-1 last week to improve and expand the Westfield Washington Public Library without raising residents’ taxes. The council approved a $2 million bond for the renovation and enlargement of the building at 333 West Hoover St. The move will allow for extra community meeting space, and area for home-schooled youth and their parents, more quiet and study areas as well as a new computer lab. So, we get the best of both worlds: a community institution will be improved and not an additional dime for it comes out of the pockets of taxpayers.

You know you’re old when…

Laughs by Danielle Wilson

I’ve joked about being old this year. I hit 40 in January and so have played up the geriatric consequences of being “middle aged.” I pee myself when I run, jump and cough; I only like to party at bars until about 7 p.m. (and by party I mean drink one beer, maybe two, if I’ve got a wild hair up my butt); I prefer strained peas from MCL, etc. But after my recent visit to Kings Island, I know for a fact that I am not a spring chicken anymore.

You know you’re old when you actually arrive 30 minutes before the park opens so you can apply ample amounts of sunscreen, divvy out snacks and dry clothes and thoroughly discuss what to do and where to meet if you get lost.

You know you’re old when you just can’t stomach the scrambler or whirl-away or any ride that involves spinning. No thank you, Vomitinducer; I’ll be riding that bench in the shade for the next hour or so.

You know you’re old when you still refer to the kiddie section as Hanna Barbera Land.

You know you’re old when your favorite roller coaster is the one that allows you to lie down for a quick nap. Sure, you end up upside down and backward as you hurl toward your demise, but you get to lie down!

Lori Miller is opening an art gallery in downtown Westfield focusing on originality and affordability.

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com At the end of this month, Westfield will be getting a new art gallery featuring original works not only beautiful but also affordable.

Lori Miller, a resident of downtown Westfield, is looking to make art ownership possible for anyone entering her gallery Everyday Artisan.

“I want people to come in, fall in love with an original piece from a local artist and know they can have that piece without breaking the bank,” said Miller.

Keeping this philosophy in mind, all of the pieces Miller features will range from $25 to $500. It is a unique philosophy to base a gallery around, but Miller is hoping to help those looking to collect art but not looking to drop thousands or even tens-of-thousands of dollars on a single piece.

Miller has worked in art sales since 1989 so when the opportunity arose to open a gallery of her own, she embraced it. ““(Opening the gallery) kind of came as a fluke. Through (a friend), I was made aware of the space opening up,” said Miller. “I went to

Miller bed that night, sat up at 11:13 p.m. and said to myself ‘I need to rent that space.’ It just kind of happened. I believe some of the best opportunities in life happen that way.”

Although the execution may have been a fluke, the idea and the name have been developing in Miller’s mind for quite some time.

“I came up with the name Everyday Artisan in 2000 and even considered opening a gallery under that name then while living in Seattle,” said Miller.

While important, the name is just a hint at

one of the most important aspects of the gallery for Miller.

“I grew up and my mom was an artist but she always had to work a real job as well. There are just so many great artists out there in similar situations and that is who I really want to support,” said Miller.

Miller is hoping that Everyday Artisan can support not only the artists, but the community and the art lovers within it. She is planning to hold artist receptions once a month featuring a local artist and giving the public an opportunity to meet with the creators of the art on display and watch them create right in the gallery.

“A lot of success in selling art is educating the public about art and the artists themselves.

Seeing the artists and talking with them directly adds a whole new dimension to art,” said Miller.

Everyday Artisan’s grand opening and first open house will be held on June 29 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the gallery (108 E. Main St., Westfield) and will feature light hors d’oeuvres.

'Little Shop' brings dark humor and great music to the Studio Theater

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Repertory Theatre’s 2011-12 season continues with their latest musical “Little Shop of Horrors.” This cult classic musical based on a 1960 black comedy of the same name first ran as an off-Broadway production in 1982 and later spawned a similarly cult classic film starring Rick Moranis in 1986.

Directed by Doug Peet and featuring a wonderful orchestra under the direction of Dick Leap, The Carmel Repertory Theatre’s production features an intimate set inside the Studio Theater that pairs well with the show’s memorable 1960sera inspired setting and rock ‘n’ roll music.

Most impressive to me was how well the production took advantage of the Studio Theater’s limited space and managed to still feel like a very large-scale production. The show’s first large musical number “Skid Row (Downtown)” featured the entire cast on stage at once without feeling crowded, awkward or impeded in any way. It was a wonderful way to start off the show.

Unfortunately, the particular performance I attended was tarnished by a number of technical microphone issues. Hopefully, this was just specific to the single performance and is something that CRT was able to iron out for upcoming performances.

Ginger Juice

Created by: Ginger Moody, Carey Tavern (17419 Carey Moody Rd., Westfield) Ingredients: 10 ounces grape vodka, 3/4 ounce raspberry cordial, 2 ounces cranberry juice, 2 ounces sour mix, 2 ounces soda water Directions: Shake ingredients and pour in a cocktail glass over ice. Garnish with orange slice and cherry as desired.

Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Ingredients: 10 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 5 bacon strips, halved lengthwise Directions: Place asparagus on sheet of waxed paper; coat with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with pepper; turn to

coat. Wrap a bacon piece around each spear; secure ends with toothpicks. Grill, uncovered, over medium-low heat until bacon is crisp, turning occasionally. Discard toothpicks.

Recommendation: Pikes Clare Valley “Traditionale” Dry Riesling ($22) The dryness and acidity of a Riesling will contrast nicely with the fat and saltiness of the bacon and complement the flavor of the asparagus. A Grenache would also work well. High tannins and highly acidic wines will work best with this dish overall. www.currentinwestfield.com

Diet and diabetes Commentary by John Mikesell Finding the right diet for a diabetic dog is a key part of managing this disease.

Dogs with diabetes require blood sugar monitoring, daily insulin injections, carefully planned meals and scheduled exercise. Fortunately, most cases can be managed at home, and once medication and diet are stabilized, affected dogs live just as long and actively as other dogs. The most important factor in choosing a diet for a dog with diabetes is that he likes the food and eats it willingly every day.

For best results, dogs with diabetes should be fed the same type and quantity of food every 12 hours just before or after their insulin injections.

Fat- Because of undiagnosed pancreatitis is common in diabetes patients, many veterinarians recommend feeding diabetic dogs less than 30% of their calories from fat.

If you are feeding a high protein, low-carb, low fiber commercial diet, adding high-fiber fresh foods or fiber supplements may help with glycemic control.

There are commercial prescription diets meant for dogs with diabetes that work with or without added foods.

Diabetic dogs don’t require a prescription diet. Adult maintenance diets with moderate amounts of fiber work well for most dogs with diabetes. The key is to monitor your dogs glucose, get plenty of exercise and consistent feeding times to keep glucose levels as even as possible. This is by no means a complete list of everything that needs to be done to control diabetes in your dog. Be sure to see your vet and your health food professional for more tips on proper care.

The Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care and Natural Remedies for Dogs and Cats are two excellent books by CJ Puotinen and are available from Dogwise, (800) 776-2665 or dogwise.com.

As a side note, we have had a very hot spring, and we are not yet into summer DO NOT LEAVE your dog in the car unattended. Even with the windows open it can be dangerous. It only takes s a few minutes for the heat in your car to become totally unbearable for your pet, especially when it is in direct sunlight. The best policy is just doing do it.

Garbage – People tend to think dogs can eat anything, but exposed old food or decaying plant matter – both abundant during composting season – can make your dog sick.

Try composting in sealed containers. – www.zootoo.com Vitamins – Is your dog or cat shedding? Try supplementing your pet’s diet with Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. - www.pawnation.com Be easy – Going on a walk is a great source of bonding between owner and pet, but holding the leash incorrectly can provoke your dog to be distrustful and feel threatened.

Soil changes hydrangea's color Landscaping by Randy Sorrell One of my favorite flowering shrubs is the hydrangea. They are packed with color, and the recent varieties are very predictable bloomers.

Many of the mature varieties bloom on last year’s growth only, and often a late freeze can destroy the buds that have already been set. Endless Summer and All Summer Beauty are two breakthrough varieties that produce flowers not only on last year’s growth, but also this year’s too!

PINK OR BLUE

It seems we always covet what we don’t have or can’t get, and blue hydrangeas migrate to that category. Our Hamilton County soil tends to eventually turn our fantastic blue hydrangeas to pink. That can be disappointing when a particular color palate was planned. But there is hope. Blue and pink hydrangeas can often be encouraged toward the other color with a little soil manipulation.

Changing pink to blue is not too difficult and can be accomplished by adding aluminum sulfate to the surrounding soil a few times a year.

Mix a tablespoon of aluminum sulfate with one gallon of water and pour it around the hydrangea after saturating first. Couple with a high potassium fertilizer (25/5/30) and a healthy mulching for confident success in a few seasons.

Sorry, no instant gratification here.

Blue to pink can be a little more challenging.

Introducing The All-New 2013

LEXUS RX The next chapter of utility vehicles.

Minimizing aluminum from the soil is the objective, and adding dolomitic lime two to three times a year to raise the ph level should do the trick. Use a 25/10/10 fertilizer with a high level of phosphorus.

White hydrangeas (Annabelle, White Dome, Tardiva, Oak Leafs) are meant to be white and are not prone to change.

While we love hydrangeas, their frustrating love affair with water is not terribly environmentally friendly. Plant them as specimens, instead of in mass, to control maintenance. My preference? Let the hydrangeas migrate to their eventual color and enjoy the process.

New flooring: What dangers lurk beneath?

Commentary by David Decker While it is easy to detect a scuffed, damaged, dated or worn flooring surface, it’s what can’t be seen underneath that often presents the real challenge in a flooring removal-repair-replacement project.

Wood, tile, laminate, stone and every other type of flooring must have a secure, level and sturdy subfloor. That means flooring installed to last – with proper fit, underlayment, fasteners, adhesives, thin set, grout, levelers or whatever – won’t always be easy to remove.

It also means that improperly installed flooring might be either coming up in chunks or nearly impossible to remove cleanly. The wrong kind or combination of adhesives, together with aggressive scraping, can create extensive structural damage and chaos for a surprised do-ityourselfer. A project can quickly grind to a halt.

An experienced flooring professional already understands the potential difficulties of flooring removal and will have the right (and sometimes very expensive) equipment needed to remove flooring without damaging the underlying structure.

A pro will also be able to accurately assess any number of substrate problems that are common to homes – termites, water damage, mold, rot, original structure inadequacies, and on and on.

New, beautiful flooring on old, damaged subflooring simply causes more problems and more

expense, sooner rather than later.

It’s rare that a flooring professional would simply cover an old floor with new flooring material, but when that’s the best solution, careful installation will prevent gross unevenness, toe-stubbing transitions and/or thresholds from adjacent rooms and gaps in corners. I saw a DIY installation where overlaid flooring trapped the dishwasher, making it impossible to move for service.

A seriously professional aspect of laying any floor – especially stone and the large-size tiles that are currently in vogue – is in creating an even, level surface. The bigger the tiles, the more exacting the demands of proper subflooring, underlayering, and positioning. Success is a matter of skill, not beginner’s luck.

So remember that when eyeing a custom flooring replacement project, a professional usually sees the best solution.
