Pershing wins photo contest

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield resident Mike Pershing took top honors in the recent 2013 Underwater Digital Shootout photography competition. achievement His photograph of a puffer fish eye won in the point-and-shoot division of the contest, and he received an Olympus E-PL5 camera and underwater housing, valued at $1,350.

“I was in shock,” he said. “I never thought I had a chance. I honestly thought her (wife, Tenna) photo would win. I was dumbfounded.”

Tenna, who has been diving for three years and taking underwater photos for two years, was awarded honorable mention for her photograph of a juvenile drum fish and received a Go Pro filter.

“It was an amazing experience being able to learn from professionals like Berkley White and Sterling Zumbrum,” Mike said. “We learned so much and were blessed to have our photos recognized.”

Both participated in the weeklong digital shootout underwater imaging workshops held in Kralendijk, Bonaire, a South Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela. The shootout provided underwater photography workshops and hands-on instruction from some of the world’s best photographers along with the photography contest.

ON THE WEB

This is the first time the couple participated in the shootout.

“We try to hit four or five dive trips a year,” Mike said.

“Our favorite places are Bonaire, Micronesia and Indonesia, which is by far the best dive we’ve ever done.”

Mike began diving in 2005 and started taking underwater photographs in 2008 because Tenna did not enjoy diving. He said photography is a great way to occupy yourself while diving as it regulates your breathing and buoyancy.

“I wanted to show her all the cool things under the water that were amazing,” he said. “I really enjoy macro photography – almost microscopic items.

There are so many little tiny items that average divers don’t see.”

HealthSource not just chiropracty

By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com Health and wellness are one of the most important aspects of life. Thanks to HealthSource, which opened at 785 E. business Main St. in November, health and wellness will be more easily attainable by Westfield citizens.

Although HealthSource specializes in chiropractic methods, chiropractor Dr. Stacey Young said that HealthSource offers a variety of other services as well.

“We provide lots of services such as nutrition and spine rehab to increase stability,” Young said. “HealthSource is truly about wellness and prevention.”

Young offers advice and services to help treat headaches, allergies, food sensitivities, carpel tunnel and more. By providing nutritional advice, she can educate her patients on wellness and prevention as well as giving them a thorough chiropractic exam. HealthSource can even provide services related to pregnancy, such as ro-

tating the baby into a better position, Young said.

By completing her undergraduate degrees in kinesiology at Indiana University and Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis with focuses in rehab and pregnancy nutrition, Young understands how to increase the general health and wellness of the Westfield community. She first worked with Prather Wellness Center and a short time later started with HealthSource of Indianapolis. For three years, Young worked with HealthSource, but since she resides in Westfield, she decided to work a little closer to home and opened her own franchise.

“It’s great. I get to partake in more city events,” Young said. “When I lived in Westfield and worked in Indianapolis, I didn’t get to be a part of the community at all. Since then, I’ve been highly involved in a majority of community events.”

HealthSource of Westfield is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, 2 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, and 6:30 a.m. to noon Friday.

Vanilla ice cream still a hit

A wash and a blow-dry, please

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com

In their first year competing in the Homemade Ice Cream contest in 1988, Dotty and Chuck McMillian weren’t sure of 4-H fair the rules. Instead of bringing their supplies ready to begin making ice cream, the Noblesville couple had all raw materials.

“We brought the kitchen with us,” Dotty said.

“We came ready to go. We got it done. We were really cranking.”

Since then, the McMillians are a staple at the event, which is open to all Hamilton County residents.

“When we started, there were three other people. Our granddaughter was a child, she’s 27 now,” Chuck said.

One of the biggest changes in the contest is the number of participants. This year, there were 26 entries including eight first-time participants.

“There’s a lot more variety, different makers,” Chuck said. “There’s more family members, too, because the family’s grown.”

Taking an entire row of tables, the McMillian clan works on a variety of flavors including maple walnut, but Chuck says it all starts with his vanilla recipe.

“I like the basic flavors of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. You use a good base vanilla recipe to make any variations,” he said. “We throw things in – a little something special every

Twelve-year-old Jesse Cold has competed in 4-H for four years with cattle and pigs, but he chose to compete with 4-H fair cattle this year. He worked with his cow for about a year to prepare it for the Hamilton County 4-H Fair. Since the judges look for muscle mass, bone mass and how much hair the animal has, Cold had to work hard during the past year to Dotty and Chuck McMillian compete in their 25th Homemade Ice Cream Contest at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair on July 19.

now and again.”

Each team of two to four people have 40 minutes to make its favorite ice cream recipe. Prizes are awarded in three categories: all flavors – electric freezer, all flavors – crank freezer and youth (ages 19 and under).

In the youth division, Kate and Taylor Gerardot of Fishers competed in the contest for the first time.

“They love ice cream and cooking. It’s a good combination,” their mother, Amy, said.

Team Yummy, as they called themselves, served peanut butter ice cream which won the youth division and overall grand champion.

“We made it one time and decided we loved it,” Taylor said. “We put Reece’s cups in it and fudge on top.”

get his cow ready for the fair.

“You have to feed them a lot and blow dry and rinse them because that helps the animal grow and helps it grow more hair,” he said. “The hardest part is getting them washed because you have to soak them a lot and rinse them.”

Cold is excited to show off his black cow named Georgia to the judges.

“My favorite part is getting in the arena and showing how good you’ve done,” he said.

Chicken feet and feathers matter

By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com It’s always fun to see the interesting breeds of chickens at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair, but there’s a lot more that goes 4-H fair into preparing a chicken than one might think.

Fourteen-year-old Kylie Dugger of Noblesville explains the process to prepare Clanky, her white boiler chicken.

“You have to wash them and check for feather loss,” she said. “The object is how fast and how big you can get your chickens to grow before 4-H. To make a chicken grow faster, you feed them well and care for them properly.”

At the Poultry Showmanship, judges check the feathers, body and feet of the chicken. Dry

feet and missing scales are a negative.

The judges also see how much the owner knows about their chicken in general. Dugger has competed with her chickens for three years and won red and blue ribbons last year.

Llama drama hits the fair

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The 4-H llama project has several events – pack obstacle, PR obstacle, youth judging, showmanship, field ob4-H fair stacle – but 4-H’ers also get to show the lighter side of their animals with the public walk-allama, llama limbo, leaping llama exhibition and costume contest.

Llamas and their owners dressed in costumes like Wilma and Dino, Elvis and Priscilla and even Michael Jackson. Cooper Sims of Carmel, who won grand champion, used his sister for his outfit.

“My sister won the costume contest two years ago and had left over stuff (from her “Under the Sea” theme). I used lobsters, crabs and fishing net from my sister’s costume as something different,” he said.

Sims created a fishing outfit – complete with vest, hat and waders.

“I used clothes my dad has when he goes hunting,” he said.

This is Sims’ first year in the costume contest and third in the llama project. He said his previous llama wouldn’t cooperate with him, but his new llama, Super Agent, was more willing.

“He wouldn’t mind me putting things on him.

My other llama, Mask, wouldn’t let you touch him in specific areas,” he said.

Two men arrested for theft

from at least five vehicles that had been parked and left unlocked. Fortunately, the majority of the property was recovered and will be released back to the owners.

Through the investigation, it was determined many unlocked Noblitt Weyler vehicles were entered where property was not stolen.

“It is very important to remember to keep your vehicles locked and valuables out of sight,” Police Chief Joel Rush said.

Two Carmel men were arrested after stealing from several unlocked vehicles in the parking lot of a busy Westfield store. crime On July 16, the Westfield Police Dept. was called to Menards at 2150 E. Greyhound Pass regarding its employees’ vehicles being broken into and items stolen.

As the investigation progressed, WPD officers observed a suspicious person in the area, which ultimately led to two individuals being arrested/ charged with four counts of theft; receiving stolen property, a Class D felony. The two suspects arrested were Michael “Tyler” Noblitt, 20, and Aaron Weyler, 20, both from Carmel.

Planning & Economic Development

Construction boom Building permits reach historical highs

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com If the first two quarters of 2013 are any indicator, Westfield is poised to see a spurt of economic growth in the cover story coming years as the community development department has approved the most building permits in the city’s history.

Economic and Community Development Director Matthew Skelton said 287 permits have been issued from Jan. 1 through July 1 with 184 of those being issued for single-family homes.

“It’s almost two-thirds of the permits with others being commercial, retail, build-outs and pools. Since 2009 we’ve doubled (year-to-date new home starts),” he said, adding at this time last year only 135 new home permits were issued. “It’s a faster rate than anybody expected them. Every major Indianapolis single-family builder is doing business up here.”

Even more impressive is the total value of improvements from all permits. Skelton said almost $81 million of self-reported improvement have been made this year. Compared to July 1, 2012, it is an increase of more than $42 million.

“Things are happening quickly which is good news,” he said. “It’s a guesstimate of how we are doing. The reported value we have processed is one way we gauge the health of our local economy. It’s twice as much, and that’s remarkable.”

“It means it’s not only in specialized areas of downtown and Grand Park, but all over the entire community,” Mayor Andy Cook said.

Skelton said the average length of time for major projects being issued a permit to starting construction is a year and a half as planning, review, approval and financing take place.

“2014 will be a plan-review marathon and 2015 a construction marathon,” he said. “There’s a lot of construction here anyway, but I’m talking about private development… 2015 will be a big

construction year. Our inspectors will earn their money.”

“Everything we’ve planned for the past five years has been about quality growth and diversifying the tax base,” Cook said.

While most permits issued this year will likely be under construction next year, Skelton said there are major projects underway in Westfield.

“Village Park Plaza is getting a major facelift,” he said. “They are enhancing that and modernizing that by revamping and retooling stores. It’ll be tidied up by the holidays.”

Grand Park will be an economic catalyst once it opens in April. Skelton said grass is growing on the playing fields and the Wheeler Road extension was recently completed. Plans are underway for Grand Park Village and other commercial growth.

“A lot of things have to be done before things come out of the ground,” Skelton said. “It’ll pick up significantly, especially with the Grand Park area.”

“There’s a lot of interest in hospitality. That area is going to explode because of the number of visitors,” Cook said.

Another area of concentrated growth is the Ind. 32 corridor. Skelton said this area stretches across Westfield from Springmill Road to Carey Road.

“There’s a lot of tire kicking,” he said. “If inquiries are any indication of interest, which I think they are, the Ind. 32 corridor is really heating up.

We’re happy about that. We’ve been planning for the development of that corridor for many, many years.”

Skelton described the impending U.S. 31-Ind. 32 intersection construction as a “double-edged sword.”

“I’d be surprised if any of the four corners begin development until the intersection is completed,” he said. “It’s keeping them from starting the process. The time to start planning those corners is now.”

Economic growth is not contained to major highways in the city. Skelton said 146th Street is also showing growth on Gray Road at Bridgewater Marketplace and on Carey Road at Magnolia Springs.

“We’re doing well and better (with commercial development), but not close to where I want,” Skelton said.

What do construction and permits mean to the average citizen? In addition to improving the quality of life with additional amenities, Skelton said the goal of economic growth is lowering “how much you pay in taxes.”

Improvement value: A reported $80.9 million in estimated value of improvements for yearto-date 2013.

• Singe-family residential new home starts accounted for 61 percent of the $80.9 million.

• The 13 new commercial permits accounted for 18 percent of the $80.9 million.

• The final four Union Street Flats (multifamily residential) permits accounted for 6 percent of the $80.9 million.

Permit increases: 287 total permits have been issued YTD, which is a 58 percent increase over 2012.

• 13 commercial permits were issued in second quarter 2013.

• Five commercial remodel permits were issued in second quarter 2013 2013 Top three subdivisions: 64 percent of the 184 new single-family housing starts issued in YTD 2013: 1. Viking Meadows – 50 permits 2. Bridgewater – 35 permits 3. Maple Knoll – 32 permits

“The strategy is to lower tax bills, but it doesn’t happen in one year,” he said. “The lessening of tax impact on individuals is not immediate.

It’s a trickle-down effect and takes time to be realized. It’s not that direct.”

Know thyself, first Commentary by Terry Anker Several years ago, my body decided that it was no longer equipped to process the boundless array of empty calories that my brain seemed to enjoy so much. While Cheetos probably aren’t an appropriate food for a 35-year-old man anyway, I did enjoy them. And for much of my life, the pounds that they might have added were dispersed through the activities of my daily life. I played competitive adult basketball, ran to and fro, and lived what might be known in the current lexicon as the active lifestyle. Yet almost by stealth attack, the bulge continues to expand.

Once I resigned myself to the fact that no amount of willpower could force my metabolism to return to its former pace, I began to look for other mechanisms to tame the ever advancing fat. Chief among them was a simple habit of weighing myself each and every morning before taking a shower. Seeing a daily number appear helped me associate a connection between my

actions and my weight. While it may not be for everyone, it did help me remain aware and therefore motivated. And, it has remained a useful tool even as I slide further into middle-age.

In a conversation with a younger friend recently, he was asking for tactics to begin his own path to age-appropriate fitness, but his ego dreaded the experience of knowing his starting number. I asked, “If you don’t know where you are, how can you ever hope to know how to get to where you want to be?”

Why do we so mightily resist understanding where we are in our relationships, in our jobs, and with our health? If it is true that ignorance is bliss, why is it so often that the ignorant are the first victims of their own disinterest?

You might have read last week that the United States Postal Service could be in for a major overhaul by 2022. U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said the move could make for a “21st-century postal service.” That’s fine, but shouldn’t the USPS become a 20th-century organization beforehand?

The headlines: Door-to-door service for homes and businesses, as well as all Saturday deliveries (except for medicines) would be eliminated. Curbside and cluster-box deliveries, such as those most Current readers already have, would become the norm. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (yes, we are laughing about that panel’s title; laugh with us) said the makeover would save $6.5 billion annually; that’s $4.5 billion for doorto-door and $2 billion for Saturday delivery.

Actually, it’s a decent move if it means taxpayers won’t be on the hook for a massive bailout, but, as we all know, that remains to be seen.

It makes good business sense to downsize, or “right-size,” the operation. After all, it’s a Titanic-like disaster now, and we all know it took only one captain to plink the iceberg and send that grand dame down. The wailing and gnashing of teeth you’re hearing, though, predictably is from the National Association of Letter Carriers (read: union), which claims such a reorganization would be tremendously harmful to small businesses, the elderly and folks living in regions with extreme weather. That’s a bunch of bunk. We’ll adapt, because there’ll be no other choice. Look, we’ve adapted to the decay of the postal service thus far, so shifting to following a streamlined version that doesn’t soak us for the tab shouldn’t be much of a problem. As much as we hate to admit it, the whole thing just makes too much sense.

Three DWIs is ‘pour’ leadership

Editor, Racking up his third drunken driving arrest since 2000, Marietto “Mario” Massillamany, 36, chairman of the Hamilton County Young Republicans is an embarrassment who needs to resign his post at once, for he has demonstrated poor decision making and clearly should not hold any position of leadership.

A leader of any public organization, political or not, has a responsibility to act as a role model whether he or she wants to; for although former NBA player Charles Barkley said he never wanted to be a role model, he was anyway.

It matters not that Massillamany was elected by the Young Republicans to be their chairman, he has disgraced the organization he represents, his profession as an attorney as well as himself as an allegedly moral, law-abiding citizen.

In fact, resigning as chairman of the Young Republicans should be the least of concern for

Massillamany. Drinking and driving is an egregious crime demonstrative of a lack of personal responsibility and moral cowardice. Have there not been enough deaths and maimings due to the recklessness of drunk drivers?

At the very least, Massillamany needs to enter a 12-step program. More importantly, for the betterment of the community at large, Massillamany needs to lose his driver’s license for good. One DWI should result in a lost license for one year. A second offense, five years, and a third violation, a lifetime loss of driving privileges. Should injuries or deaths occur, concomitant prison sentences should accompany the loss of license.

Drinking and driving is no joke and its consequences no surprise with all the PSAs and news reports abound. Massillamany has the brains to know better and had no excuse for his behavior which could have resulted in greater tragedy Sanford D. Horn, 46074

It matters not that Massillamany was elected by the Young Republicans to be their chairman, he has disgraced the organization he represents, his profession as an attorney as well as himself as an allegedly moral, law-abiding citizen.

Lose ‘Lost’ and join the ‘Thrones’ Commentary by Danielle WIlson

My husband and I don’t watch much television. Apart from “Glee,” “Sports Center” and the occasional “30 Rock” rerun, humor we’re mostly too busy shuttling kids to and from their various practices, meetings and games. We also don’t subscribe to the movie channels, so aren’t able to catch the R-rated stuff like “Mad Men.” But this summer, we decided to plug in to pop culture, albeit a few years late, and download both the entire series of ABC’s “Lost” and the last three seasons of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

Doo stayed up late for literally a week straight and finished the latter before I could even see the pilot. I got so angry with him that I made him wait to start “Lost” until we both had the time. We are now six episodes in to “Lost,” but frankly, I’m not “getting it.” I like looking at Matthew Fox and that Sawyer fellow, and the scenery is beautiful, but honestly, what’s the big deal? I’ve been told to hold out a few more episodes, that the plot thickens very shortly, but honestly, “Lost” pretty much sucks now that I’ve begun “Thrones.”

Sweet. Mercy. Baby dragons, arctic zombies and creepy old warlocks. Gratuitous violence, full frontal nudity, and British-accented foul language. Is it any wonder that I am now completely addicted to this medieval fantasy epic?

No kidding, I forgot to feed my children yester-

day. And the best part is that you never know who they’re going to kill off. Could be a character they’ve just introduced, could be the lead you’ve known since the beginning. It’s both horrible and awesome at the same time.

I also appreciate how “Throne’s” writers (or possibly the author of the book it’s based on; I’m not sure how closely the series follows George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Fire and Ice”) have made the women the real powerhouses. Behind every king wannabe and knight in bloodied armor is a female mastermind, using her seductive wiles to manipulate, plot, and ultimately control the playing field. Sure the ladies are usually naked, but any smart viewer can recognize who’s ultimately in control. (You go, Khaleesi!) Plus, there is no shortage of amazing redheaded characters, saving the world per our usual M.O. and making it look good in the process.

If you don’t watch “Game of Thrones,” I highly recommend downloading the first few episodes.

You’ll probably be offended, disgusted and embarrassed, but if you are anything like me and appreciate stay-cations through television, you’ll also be incredibly entertained. Peace out.

Fur bearing thieves beware

Commentary by Mike Redmond

I grow a pretty good vegetable garden, if I do say so myself, and like any good gardener I am always happy to share humor the bounty. I always plant too much anyway, so it only makes sense that I offer what I have to friends and neighbors. Especially zucchini. I always plant too much zucchini.

There is one group, however, with which I do not willingly share even so much as a green tomato. The members of this group are rude, demanding and annoying, and frequently just help themselves to whatever they want, to the fruits of my labor, without so much as a by-your-leave.

I speak, of course, of squirrels. Those pushy little bushy-tailed rats are the bane of the urban gardener’s existence.

Right now, they seem to be exceedingly fond of cucumbers. I planted a small plot this year, just enough for fresh cukes on the table and maybe a few bowls of quick pickles.

Well, the squirrels are putting my cucumber plans asunder. If I leave cukes on the vine to get a little size, eight inches or so, they wind up with big holes gnawed in them. And occasionally the smaller ones, the three or four-inch ones, wind up on Mister Squirrel’s salad plate as well. You’d think they had little bottles of ranch dressing up in the trees.

It’s not that I can’t tolerate a little loss. Any gardener worth his fertilizer knows that you’re

going to incur some loss to weather and pests.

But outright theft is another matter entirely.

Last year, during the drought, I was a little more inclined to be charitable toward our furbearing neighbors. They were raiding the tomatoes then in a desperate search for water and, being a soft-hearted type, I was willing to go along with it. I didn’t even yell (much) when they all but denuded my one and only vine of Russian Krims, my favorite tomato. I figured I could always go to a farmer’s market to buy some heirlooms but squirrels don’t have that option.

No pockets to carry money, you see.

This year, though, when it rains every day for weeks, there is no drought and to my mind, no reason for them to plead thirst when raiding my vegetables. Thieves, that’s all they are – little fur-bearing thieves.

Of course, it could be said that by planting a garden I have created what the lawyers call an attractive nuisance, which is the long way of saying I created my own problem, and the squirrels were unable to resist. I’m willing to consider that up to the point where the Russian Krims are involved. Then it’s nuisance, shmuisance, stay out of my tomatoes. And my cukes.

Indy Jazz Fest swings into Conner Prairie

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com On Friday, Aug. 2 and Saturday, Aug. 3, the Indianapolis Symphony will feature a first for the Marsh Symconner praire phony on the Prairie series. Jazz will be the featured music when Indy Jazz Fest will present “A Salute to Indiana Composers” on the Conner Prairie Amphitheatre stage at 8 p.m.

Some of the finest musicians and singers in the state will take to the stage to pay tribute to great composers of Indiana such as Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, Michael Jackson, as well as jazz titans Freddie Hubbard and Wes Montgomery. This will mark the first time in the 32-year history of Symphony on the Prairie that jazz will be the headliner of the series. For a city that is as rich in jazz history as Indianapolis, it is hard to imagine that jazz has only now found its way onto that stage.

So, why has it taken 32 years for the ISO to bring jazz to the series? ISO Director of Communications Jessica Di Santo had the same question in mind.

“I wondered how we could have missed jazz,” she said. “For the last 32 years, we have had all genres of music, but not the tried and true genre of jazz. Jazz just seemed like such a natural fit. It’s a common language. Jazz is familiar, friendly, and open. Jazz can inspire. Seeing so many young people there, some of them experi-

encing jazz for the first time is truly amazing.”

Di Santo also gave credit to Indy Jazz Fest Director David Allee for organizing the concert.

Allee, himself an accomplished jazz trumpeter, is also the owner and operator of the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis.

“He has been wonderful,” Di Santo said. “He has done so much as the creator and the producer of the event. He has really organized it for

us. We have a slate of the very best talent in this genre of music.”

The gates to the amphitheater will open at 6 p.m. each evening. Tickets are priced at $23 in advance and $28 at the gate for adults, $12 for children ages 2-12 in advance and $14 at the gate. For more information on Symphony on the Prairie including ticket and parking pass information, visit www.indianapolissymphony.org.

Forest Park and Forest Park Aquatic Center will host a multi-dimensional event featuring something for every age wellness and fitness level on Aug. 17. The inaugural Noblesville Fit Fest is being presented by Gordon Insurance and staged by America Multi-Sport.

“This unique festival and race event combination promises to be a boon to the entire Hamilton County community with the goals of encouraging our friends and neighbors to adopt a healthier lifestyle,” Fit Fest Coordinator Kym Flannery said.

Fit Fest events, which are USAT sanctioned events, include a Sprint Triathlon (400 yard swim, 20.6K bike and 5K run), Sprint Duathlon (1K run, 20.6K bike and 5K run), Sprint Aquabike (400 meter swim and 20.5K bike), 5K Run/Walk (3.1 Miles), Kids Aquathon (ages 4-6, 7-11 and 12-14), and a Sprint Aquathon (400m swim and 5k run). Events begin at 8 a.m.

Want to participate but have little ones? Flannery said the races have something no other Triathlon event she’s heard of offers: a “Kids Corral” featuring licensed teachers from the Goddard School of Noblesville providing age appropriate activities for children ages three and up.

cells (300 to 500 times more than bone marrow), that does not necessarily mean that they work as we would like or hope. The popularity of stem cells is largely because of the ability to harvest fat through liposuction as a source for stem cells. It is fairly easy to ‘recycle’ the liposuctioned fat and put it back into the patient as an injection with the assumption that tissues of the face can be rejuvenated.

Numerous anectodal claims are made about such injections as creating youthfulness, adding permanent volume and improving the appearance of the skin. This has led to a number of touted procedures carrying such names as the stem cell facelifts. Despite their appeal, there is no medical evidence by published clinical studies that proves that it actually works.

Most of the time, such stem cell injections are really nothing more than fat injections that unavoidably contain some stem cells. It is the fat that creates any volumetric or lifting effect and not the stem cells that it may contain. While such ‘stem cell’ injections are unlikely to be harmful, they have not been proven to have anti-aging effects.

“We were ranked No. 1 in the Midwest for doing business and No. 2 in one poll and No. 5 overall in another,” he said, adding the state is joined

Smith said 70 percent of new jobs in Indiana come from incumbent companies. The four pillars of Indiana economic development and jobs are manufacturing, agriculture, logistics and life sciences.

“It starts out with the product we sell. The product we sell is Indiana. We’re keeping business costs to a minimum, have low operating costs, and businesses are confident taxes won’t creep up… It’s because of our fiscal discipline, we’re a right to work state and low taxes-pro business stance.”

The ‘good-to-great’ plan

In January, Victor Smith was appointed as Indiana Secretary of Commerce following a 17-year career of operations, sales chamber and executive positions, including chief executive officer of a precision manufacturing company with locations in the United States, United Kingdom and Asia.

On July 24, Smith addressed the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce to discuss what he was doing at the state level to ensure the business climate remains well for the state and Hamilton County.

“Gov. (Mike) Pence made my goal clear – to get more Hoosiers working than any other time in the history of our state,” Smith said. “The watermark is 2,609,000.”

In his role, Smith is a member of Gov. Pence’s cabinet and leads the state’s domestic and international economic development agenda. In his first six months on the job, Smith said he’s been doing a lot of traveling, listening and thought processing. The strategy is going from good to great.

“We had a good foundation. Gov. (Mitch) Daniels did a fabulous job with a responsible fiscal philosophy,” he said. “I’m really excited about what’s going to be happening in the next two years. It’s the largest tax reduction in the history of Indiana.”

Smith said Indiana is growing traction and notoriety within the country.

Question from John L. from Noblesville: I currently get health insurance for my family through my employer. I Insurance know changes are coming from health reform, but is there anything particular that I need to worry about?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Health reform has a lot of folks concerned and confused.

The main piece of the legislation that will affect nearly everyone is the individual mandate that requires you to buy health insurance. If you like the insurance that your employer provides, you are considered covered and can stick with that program. You may also be able to switch to publicly available coverage eventually if you choose, but all that is still being figured out.

Any employer health plan you currently have qualifies as minimum essential coverage. You don’t need to change to a publicly available plan to avoid the fee that uninsured people may have to pay in 2014. If you’d like to explore publicly available coverage options, you can, but there are several important things to consider.

With most employer health insurance plans, your employer pays a portion of your premiums.

Your employer does not need to make a contribu-

tion to your premiums if you switch away from their plan. You should consider this carefully before comparing your current plan to publicly available plans.

If you decide to check out publicly available plans, be aware that you may not qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs, even if your income would qualify you otherwise.

Whether you qualify for lower costs will depend on what kind of coverage your employer offers. If your job-based coverage is considered affordable and meets minimum value, you won’t be able to get lower costs on premiums or outof-pocket costs in the marketplace. This is true no matter your income and family size.

Your employer can tell you whether the insurance plan it offers meets minimum value and help you determine whether the plan is considered affordable for you. You can also contact your independent insurance agent if you have further questions or if you lose your employer’s insurance plan and need to see what is available.

Know how to give your dog a well-care exam

Commentary by John Mikesell

There are five things to do before you call the vet about your dog’s health: Take your dog’s temperature.

If you don’t know how, you should learn. Purchase and keep an appropricanines ately sized rectal thermometer on hand; there are small sizes available for small dogs and larger one for large dogs. Have some Vaseline or KY Jelly to put on the thermometer: this makes its insertion more comfortable for the dog. Digital models may be easier to read than the reliable glass and mercury models. Plus they have the added benefit of a built-in timer. On the other hand, the glass models don’t have batteries that can die, rendering the thermometer useless.

If you’ve never taken your dog’s temperature, ask your vet or your groomer to show you how.

Note the dog’s temperature.

When your dog is not feeling well and you’re upset, you might not remember the temperature you just observed. Write it down along with the time. Keep in mind that “normal” for dogs varies a bit from about 100.5F. to about 102.5F. It would be good to know your dog’s normal temperature, so take it sometime when he is well and resting.

Check the color and wetness of the dog’s gums.

Familiarize yourself with the color of your dog’s gums when he’s well so you know what’s “normal” for him.

If, when he is not feeling well, his gums appear abnormally pale or white, he may be in or nearing shock. Brick-red gums can indicate a fever or heat stroke: yellowish gums may mean the dog is jaundiced.

When a dog is healthy, his gums should be glossy and wet. If they are sticky and dry, he may be dehydrated.

Check his capillary refill time.

Sounds technical , but it’s easy. Capillary time is how long it takes for the blood to rush back to a spot that you press on his gums; it’s a quick and fairly accurate indicator of his blood pressure. To check, press on a spot on his gums for about 3 seconds; when you release pressure, the spot should be pale where you pressed the blood out of that tissue. The spot should quickly disappear from view as the tissue refills with blood within about a second. If the spot remains pale for several seconds, your dog’s blood pressure may be dangerously low.

Make sure you are able to describe any

deviations in your dog’s diet, elimination pattern and demeanor.

Make sure you know the type and brand of food you have been feeding your dog. You should know how much your dog is usually fed and note any deviations. Also you should be able to discuss his most recent bowel movement (when it happened and the quality of the stool, whether that was different than usual) and urination (what time, how much, color).

Your ability to report all this information will help decide whether the dog should be brought to the hospital immediately, or whether he could schedule a visit for the next day. It could save you several hundred dollars.

MAKEUP FOR TEENS Most young women are obsessed with makeup but they often don’t have the knowledge or confidence to make it work.

Teens love trying trendy colors and textures, but a fresh, young face should never be smothered in makeup.

Teens should skip an all over foundation.

Cover blemishes with a blemish stick and then dab on powder in the oily T-zone, but avoid slathering on a heavy, liquid foundation.

Makeup should also not be used to look older. This can result in an unnatural, harsh look. Keeping colors light and sheer will ensure the fresh, youthful glow still shines through.

Trick of the Trade: To avoid drawing attention to braces, skip bright lip colors!

Stick to a tinted lip balm or sheer gloss.

Commentary by David Decker

Q. How often should I water my lawn?

A. Generally, twice a week unless we are receiving regular rain. outdoors Overwatering promotes a weak, topical root system that can’t respond to prolonged droughts without wasteful daily watering.

Q. Is there a secret to controlling weed growth in paver patios?

A. No secret, but it can be very annoying. Polymeric sand in the joints of the patio material helps considerably. Beyond that, arm yourself with your favorite herbicide and spray upon first sight. The majority of weed growth is caused by weed seed blowing in from your neighbors lawn or happy birds dropping presents.

Q. Should I seal my new patio to protect it?

A. Concrete and stamped concrete need sealing immediately after installation. Most pavers and natural stone do not require sealing, although a satin finish sealer can prompt the colors to pop.

Q. What’s the difference between a brick versus a paver patio?

A. Spelling only. We use the brick/paver as generic terminology, although officially a brick refers to the material used to face a home, which is not suitable for a patio surface.

Q. Is there a standard for design fees?

A. I wish. We see design fees from complimentary to more than $100 per hour. As usual, the

Midwest follows the lead of Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte, etc. which have been confidently charging design fees for years, as our company does.

Q. Any easy tips to transform my stale outdoor living space without ripping out everything?

A. Retrofitting is a great strategy that encourages us to tweak your present patio material and upgrade the landscape. Adding dramatic flowering pots and updated colorful furniture is invaluable. Never underestimate the value of a new outdoor rug or colorful cantilever umbrella.

Is granite or quartz a better choice for you?

Commentary by David Decker

One of the most frequently asked questions we get asked at the Affordable Companies is whether a homeowner indoors should choose granite or quartz for their home improvement project. So what is the difference between the two materials?

Granite is a naturally occurring material that is mined from the earth in large pieces, but later broken down into slabs. These granite slabs are then treated to a fine polish using a polyurethane sealer or resin. Each piece of granite is 100-percent unique. The color, grain and overall look of the stone will vary from slab to slab, even if they have been mined from the same quarry. The key to granite’s enduring popularity is its durability. If you keep your granite properly cleaned and sealed, spills and stains should not be an issue.

Quartz, on the other hand, is engineered from a combination of stone, composites and resins.

Like granite, quartz is a naturally occurring stone element. But because quartz products are partially manufactured, they have the ability to look much more uniform than granite. One of the biggest benefits would be the low maintenance factor. Quartz is nonporous, which means it will not absorb water and microbes. Additionally, it will not require sealing/re-sealing, which will save you time and money.

SPECIALS Granite and quartz are both good decorating options but for different reasons. (Submitted photo)

So now, with all of this background information on the two different types of stones, how do you go about choosing one that’s right for your specific project? The ideal stone choice will vary depending on usage and environmental factors.

Here are some things to keep in mind: • Granite is more heat resistant than quartz.

So you may want to select granite for kitchen countertops, if you are planning on setting hot pans directly on the stone.

• Because quartz does not need to be sealed and is nonporous, you may want to choose it for shower ledges, bathroom vanities or sink backsplashes.

• Quartz is a bit more scratch resistant than granite. This makes it a better fit for bar

ledges or other high traffic areas that may be prone to damage.

• Because granite has natural variation, be careful to select material appropriately.

All in all, both granite and quartz countertops are going to add value to your home. They will both bring a polished, natural and impressive look to any space. The decision comes down to your personal preference and the needs of your specific space.
