You could say that running the Marketplace is a “family affair” for Kay Thompson. As a volunteer with the CarmelFest committee, Kay took over MarketPlace opera-tions & planning five years ago from her husband, Doug. During their tenure, the MarketPlace has grown from a handful booths to well over ninety. Kay delights in finding new vendors, coordinating exhibits and arranging displays. As she put, “I like to organize. That’s my thing.”

Kay’s husband, Doug Thompson (an active Rotary Club member) currently serves on the CarmelFest Board as Division Director of Consumer Services. Doug leads a team of volunteers who manage Food Vendors, MarketPlace, Signs, Parking and Pedal & Park.

MarketPlace booths, exhibits and displays will encircle theCarmel Civic Square Fountain during the CarmelFestcelebration. Event hours are Sunday-July 3rd Noonto 10 pm and Monday-July 4th Noon to 10:30 pm.As always, admission to the festival is FREE.

Marketplace Offers Something for Everyone

When CarmelFest kicks off on July 3rd – volunteer Kay Thompson will have the MarketPlace area filled with over 90 booths offering something for everyone. The Carmel Civic Square Fountain with be surrounded with an array of vendors, artists, informational areas and displays. Shoppers like me will enjoy perusing the square to view (and buy) handmade arts & crafts, specialty goods, jewelry, toys and more. When you need a little relaxation, head over to the health and well-ness area to enjoy a shoulder massage and gather tips on lead-

ing a healthy lifestyle. When I walk around the Marketplace, I am always delighted to find new merchants and displays mingled with some past favorites. One vendor booth I always enjoy is run by Duran Designs - a local com-pany specializing in home garden accessories. I can’t help but marvel at Duran’s visual displays of colorfully whimsical out-door art. (And, yes, I do have several ‘metallic gazing balls’ and ‘glass, reflective kaleidoscopes’ in my garden.) If you wander west from the Civic Square fountain, be

prepared to fall in love with a poten-tial new pet in the area dedicated to animal rescue groups. Organizations that promote responsible pet ownership hold a special place in Kay’s heart. As dog lovers, Kay and her husband, Doug have adopted, rescued, and fostered dogs thru various local organizations. Whether you enjoy browsing or buying - sampling or trying – CarmelFest’s MarketPlace is the spot for you. Kay Thompson and her volunteer team are hard at work seeking new vendors and coordinating displays. The Marketplace is now accepting booth space & vendor applications on-line atwww.carmelfest.net.

It is our position that portions of the Monon Trail are an eyesore. In one section just south of Main Street in Carmel, for example, one can see rusted, abandoned build-ings which have been untended for decades, and there is unsightly trash dumped behind a dangerous barbed-wire chain link fence. An old grain el-evator, its paint peeled and dulled by time, towers above a misshapen fence.

Twisted metal, rust and debris stare back at hikers and bikers, providing a stark contrast to the rejuvenated Carmel nearby. Warm weather is upon us, inviting residents and out-of-towners alike to spend time outdoors. Great pains have been taken in recent years to beautify not only Carmel, but other parts of Hamilton County. What should be an inviting stretch of public hiking and biking trails is an embarrassment in many places, and cer-tainly not the impression we want to give to visitors to Hamilton County.

We challenge property owners along these walkways to either clean up their property or tear down the offending structures, removing this blight on our image. The many improvements to Hamilton County are breath-taking, but we do not want our breath taken away by the presence of a ghetto in our midst.

Monon fail Season of surprisesIt is our position that the only thing that the

storms over the last couple of weeks have proved, is that you have to be ready for anything. One minute we’re expecting 70-mile-per-hour winds with tornadoes, and the next, strong winds with heavy rain. We can watch the Weather Channel all day and still get sur-prised with what Mother Nature brings.

That being said, we need to be prepared, whatever the case may be. With the tornado sirens going off more than usual now, we need to be sure not to give them the “boy that cried wolf” treatment. We believe that everyone should take preventative actions to create a safe environment.

Some preventative actions include; creating a plan so you can find cover within seconds; having a storm kit with flashlights, batteries, bottled water, food and a first aid kit; and recognizing the signs of a potential tor-nado. For more tips on how to prepare for a tornado, you can go to www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/safety.html.

With all of the weather tracking technology and tornado warning in-formation available to us, there is no excuse to not being completely aware and ready for any kind of bad weather.

It’s a beautiful thing, our network of spies. They always mean well, and they almost always hit the mark. So, it is with extreme confidence in multiple sources – all of which shall remain nameless – that we tell you it’s no longer a secret: Tony Bennett, indeed, is coming to The Palladium this fall. THE Anthony Dominick Benedetto, that vocal icon of pop music, standards, show tunes and jazz, will grace the stage once and for all. (Last year, we wrote that he would be on hand for the Gala in January; our source was deep inside, more like family, you might say, but it just didn’t happen. We’re confident that’s not the case this time.) So, for those of you still thinking artistic director Michael Feinstein isn’t worth the money, think again. In all honesty, we were told about this and other shows well more than a month ago in an off-the-record conversation. We stayed quiet, true to our word, and we were com-mitted to remain so, until we heard about it from a handful of others. When word trav-eled that quickly, we decided, at press time, to start typing. Our spies also tell us that Bill Cosby will delight what we hope will be a packed Palladium sometime in 2012, and

this summer’s schedule will feature shows by Indigo Girls, Goo Goo Dolls and Miranda Cosgrove, star of iCarly on Nickelodeon. Wait, there’s more: We also hear that Fein-stein will pair with Bernadette Peters and Sandi Patty, respectively, for concerts featur-ing the Great American Songbook. Can you feel the momentum that joint is gathering? It is becoming a magnet venue for Central In-diana, which is exactly what it was designed to be – and which is exactly as it should be. We urge you to pack the house for these shows. Tickets? Try 843.3800 or [email protected] for more information.

How is it that we are so readily judged by the least amongst us? From as a long as I can remem-ber my parents would admonish me to choose my friends wisely because they could very easily end up defining me. If I chose friends that were underage drinkers, then, the theory went, I would likely be considered to be an un-derage drinker as well whether I participated in the juvenile revelry or not. As the sage reports, birds of a feather flock together. Even then, I wondered how this could be fair.

But even in the largest of groups, stereotyping casts a broad net. Since returning from Buenos Aires, I’ve been caught off guard by the number of friends and acquain-tances who have made some remark about the origins of the population of that South Ameri-can country. To follow the ancestry assumed by some, Argentina was largely vacant until populated by Nazi evacuees from Europe in the waning days of World War II. Certainly there were many refugees who emigrated away from

the war torn continent (in the case of Buenos Aires especially from Italy), but Argentina was already fully functioning before 1946; and there is no evidence that any greater proportional number of bad guys ended up there than any-

where else. Were there any Nazis in the wave of refugees? Surely yes; yet the insinuation remains that all were tainted.

In my case, I resent if compared to the worst of the ugly American trav-elers when I’m abroad. And, it offends when our own coastal citizens as-sume all Midwesterners hicks. But even more, it annoys me when pre-sumed elitist, racist or

worse by those urbanites who cast aspersions at the county wherein I am now domiciled. Cer-tainly, no peer group is perfect; but are we our brother’s keeper?

About a year ago, Pat considered the possibil-ity of volunteering her time to help the women of Craine House. She accepted an invitation to learn more, and from that point she became de-voted. Now serving as a member of the Craine House Board of Directors and a committed vol-unteer, Pat Ritz is hoping others in Carmel will understand the important role the house plays in our community.

Craine House is an alternative sentencing pro-gram for nonviolent female offenders and their preschool-aged children. Once a part of the pro-gram, women have access to programming and educational opportunities to address barriers they face when returning to the community. They also receive help with parenting skills and support to confront substance abuse issues.

Women in the program have a chance to break the cycle of incarceration in an environ-ment free from domestic violence, drug use and physical and emotional abuse, reducing recidi-vism by nearly 40 percent. In contrast to the national average of 60 percent recidivism – 35 percent in Indiana – Craine House has attained a 13 percent recidivism rate. With fewer women falling back into incarceration, our community is safer and women are empowered to not make the same poor choices of the past.

Craine House can point to happier and more productive members of our society after they

leave the program. Pat said, “I see this as an agency that has the potential to make a posi-tive impact on the lives of even more mothers and their children, to increase the services it provides, and to be a model for more alternative sentencing programs.”

More than 500 women have served their sentences at Craine House. Most women have at least two children residing with them. Ap-proximately 80 percent have substance abuse problems, and approximately 90 percent have been physically abused.

Because Craine House operates on a shoestring budget, there are always needs for diapers, baby formula and baby food, household cleaning prod-ucts, personal products like soap, shampoo and toothpaste, and money for bus passes and office supplies. Volunteers play a major role in the daily lives of these women by helping as tutors, men-tors and daycare providers for the children.

These are not bad women. They are women who made bad choices or were in bad situa-tions. Craine House is their second chance, and you can help. For a variety of ways to help, contact Suzanne Pierce, executive director, at 317-925-2833, and follow Pat Ritz.

Craine House gives women, children a second chance

DISPatCHESCOMMEntaRYBy Danielle Wilson

Mother’s Day, 2002 … ah, the memories. Puking 10-month-old twins, parties for in-laws, my husband ditching me with said twins and a precocious 3-year old for five hours to attend his brother’s graduation. I’m telling you, nothing says “we love you” like vomit and abandonment.

Luckily, I was able to call a “redo” and cel-ebrated a lovely Mother’s Day the following Saturday. More importantly, I learned a good lesson: If I want to enjoy Mother’s Day, I need to plan, in advance, a whole day just for me. No kids, no in-laws, no husband. If this is the only day all year that I get to celebrate the joys of motherhood, then I’m going to spend the time pretending I’m not a mom.

With that in mind, I’d like to share with you my Mother’s Day schedule of events for this year, my ninth annual “It’s Great Being Child-less Again” extravaganza.

12 a.m. to 9 a.m. Sleep in. My husband can get up with the kids and plough through the breakfast melee and pre-dawn battle for the Xbox on his own.

9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Shower. For the entire hour. And enjoy every warm, quiet, peaceful minute of it.

10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Blow-dry my hair, put some make-up on, and get dressed – all without

leaving the confines of my bedroom to find the missing gecko or break-up a fight over whose turn it is to play Club Penguin.

10:30 a.m. to 10:33 a.m. Say “good morn-ing” to my family, let them present me with my Happy Mother’s Day cards and/or hand-made ceramic gifts, rhyming poems, etc. Say “good-bye” to my family and sprint for the door.

10:35 a.m. to 11:35 a.m. Head to the Barnes & Nobles for a Starbucks venti latte breve (de-caf, of course− I’m too jacked-up on the glory of being on my own to need caffeine!) and a scone. Peruse the magazines, books and CD selections at my leisure.

11:35 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Drive over to Stein Mart and search for a bathing suit (one-piece or extra-long tankini, of course) and possibly some cute espadrilles.

12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. Hit Panera for a cup of broccoli-cheese soup, a large sourdough roll and a sweetened iced tea. Call my mom in Kentucky and my mom-in-law in Carmel and wish them “Happy Mother’s Day.” See? It’s not all about me.

1:30 p.m. Roll into Regal Cinemas for the 1:45 showing of “The Rom-Com My Husband Will Never Take Me To Even If He Were Be-ing Tortured ‘Casino Royale’ Style” or possibly “Lincoln Lawyer.” Matthew McConaughey is simply delicious.

4 p.m. Swing by Dairy Queen for a vanilla cone. Nothing cuts the too-much-butter-on-my-large-popcorn-induced nausea like synthetic ice cream. Trust me on this one.

4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Walk the aisles at Tar-get. Heaven.

5:40 p.m. to 6:40 p.m. Walk the aisles at Wal-Mart. Cheaper Heaven.

7 p.m. Fly by McDonald’s for my Mommy Happy Meal: a cheeseburger, small fry and Diet Coke, hold the annoying plastic toy.

7:15 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Settle in at Starbucks with a vanilla crème and finish my new most favorite book, “A Discovery of Witches.” (It’s like “Twilight,” but you don’t have to wait until the fourth book for some good stuff!)

8:40 p.m. Return home to wish my beloved offspring “goodnight.” What’s that? Their bed-time was 8:30? Alleluia! The perfect end to a perfect day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms out there. Even if you can’t do a whole day, try to take a moment for yourself. I’m certain you de-serve it! Peace out.

Current in CarmelRunners are in the thick of training and

musicians are tuning their instruments making preparations for two different competitions this summer.

Scheduled for June 11, the Carmel Marathon is partnering with the Rock The District event, which will bring bands from across the country to the Carmel Arts & Design District the same day as the marathon and USA Track and Field Men’s 8K National Championship.

The marathon and half marathon get started at 7 a.m. and will wrap up at 2:30 p.m. when Rock the District kicks off. By partnering the concert and race, the expected 7,000 partici-pants and 10,000 spectators will have plenty of options to stay busy that Saturday.

While there will be many runners participat-ing in the marathon, which is a Boston Mara-thon qualifying race, those also participating in the Allstate one-mile Family Fitness walk and the USA Track and Field Men’s 8K National Championship and the Road Runners Club of American Men’s and Women’s State Marathon Championship and spectators will have plenty to do that weekend. At later in the evening at Rock the District, awards and closing ceremo-nies will be hosted at 6 p.m. after a performance by Atlanta-based band, Yacht Rock Review to the Indiana Live! Casino Stage

There are runners participating in the Car-mel Marathon Championship Weekend from 36 states including Alaska, California, Texas, Florida and New York, as well as Canada.

“When we started planning this event more than a year and a half ago, we knew we wanted the Carmel Marathon to provide a community celebration for our participants,” said Todd Oli-ver, president of the Carmel Road Racing Group that organizes the Carmel Marathon, in a statement. “Our partnership with Rock the District takes that celebration to a higher level and promises to bring back runners and walkers for years to come.”

For the Carmel Marathon, the celebratory and cultural event after the race is important to honor all the musicians and athletes participating in the weekend.

Carmel Marathon approaches, partners with community events

“Carmel’s Arts & Design District is a state-certified cultural district,” said Bill Hammer, president of the Carmel Redevelopment Com-mission, in a statement. “In addition to sup-porting arts, a vital component to that coveted state designation is greenways, trails and fitness resources. Our partnership with the Carmel Marathon allows us to honor the Arts & Design District’s core values, purpose and cultural dis-trict certification.”

Current in CarmelThe Carmel Arts Council’s annual English

Silver Tea fundraiser this year will feature the theme “A Silver Roadshow.”

The tea is scheduled for May 12 from 2-5p.m. at the Ritz Charles in Carmel. The event will feature Eric Lausch of Vi Walker Silver, who will be there to talk about antique silver and sterling silver flatware and pieces. Lausch will also talk about the current state of the silver market and the future of silver.

And just as like the “Antique Roadshow” that popularized the antique appraisal business, guests may bring a favorite piece of silver for an informal evaluation of their piece.

Proceeds are used to fund four $1,500 schol-arships for qualified graduating high school seniors who have excelled in the arts and whose parent(s) or guardian live in Carmel. For more information on the scholarships, visit www.car-melartscouncil.org.

An individual ticket $25 in advance. A corpo-rate sponsor table for eight is $250, and spon-sors will be recognized with table signage and listed in the event program. A “friends” table can be reserved in advance for $200.

For more information on the tea, contact Doreen Squire Ficara, executive director of the Carmel Arts Council, at 317-844-4989 or [email protected].

Council to host annual fundraiser

By Margaret SutherlinCurrent in Carmel

With less than a month until opening day, the Carmel Farmer’s Market has plenty of exciting things planned for this year, including a new location.

Moving to the center green between the Palla-dium and the two theatres to the south, the new site allows the Farmer’s Market to really grow in its 13th year. In addition to several new vendors, the Farmer’s Market will be able to use the parking garage at the Center for the Performing Arts, solving a longtime challenge at their old location. Additionally, the center green has an

amphitheatre, which allows the musicians who play at the

market to have a true stage and

space to perform.

Market gets ready for opening, big changes

“We are so looking forward to the big chang-es and getting going for the year,” said Ron Carter, director of the Farmer’s Market.

This year several new vendors have been added including a new barbeque vendor who uses only organic meats, a Greek food vendor, and also new gluten free bakery and tea and other produce vendors. There are also going to be more fresh cut flowers and plants available at the market and the Kitchen Wright has created a special demonstration kitchen for expanded cooking demonstrations.

Some of the vendors also have taken advan-tage of newer larger spaces and will be able to set up their own sort of walk-in stores or if they are making food, a space where people can sit and eat.

One of the unique things the market is focus-ing on this year is spreading the message of how truly local the food at the market is. Each ven-dor will have a number on their sign signifying the distance between the business to the market.

“The average number of miles food in the supermarket has to travel is around 1,500. For the Carmel Farmers Market food travels on average around 30 miles,” said Carter. “It really illustrates how close and how fresh food at the market really is. One vendor in Carmel grows their fresh produce just three miles from here.”

The Carmel Farmer’s Market is Saturday May 21 from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Center Green. The market runs every Saturday until October 29. Visit the website www.carmelfarm-ersmarket.com or follow the CarmelFarmMrkt on Twitter to learn about happenings each week.



self-por-trait. I don’t see myself so much as the mythi-cal pan, but more see as the stature. He reminds me of myself, and it feels good to have that. He is a sculpture and things will hang on him: good things and also baggage. I haven’t done it yet, but it will be life size.

I’ve always done my artwork, but I had just been overwhelmed by design. It was harder and harder to get to my artwork, and so I decided to just make the jump. I wasn’t as secure or sure of the art I had done before, and with the new self-portrait I just decided to be more aggressive than I had done before to get to my artwork.

Creating the portraits with silkscreen and these bright col-ors, what is your creative process like? How do you get from image to final portrait?

I take all the pictures for the portraits. Occasionally I’ll use a submitted one, but mostly the picture has to be exactly right for it to work in the piece. I think of the few portraits I have done recently, I look at several hundred images, and it takes just one to capture my imagination and will feel strongly enough. There are the stages in paintings: the foreground, middle and background. I focus on the frontal. You can focus on their space and their mind and the emotional content.

Younger people have an idea of how they see themselves be-cause of the Facebook pictures they have taken of themselves and how they write about themselves online. I like to take the things they write or say, the little idiosyncrasies, and include those in the painting. The face and the things that they’ve talked about, whether to me or elsewhere, just make the self-portrait. The emo-tion of the person and the painting is also in the color.

I see portraits as icons as well. They are different extensions of the narrative, though, about the human condition in the portraits and more of a personal narrative.

Indiana-based and internationally known artist Walter Knabe is finding his home in the Indiana Design Center is one very con-ducive to his creative process.

Knabe, born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, has come full circle as an artist, he said, from his start as a fine artist to a fabric and wall-covering designer. He has pro-duced pieces for the likes of Madonna, Michael Jordan and Neil Simon, and commercially for Donald Trump and Chanel.

Evident in the speckles of neon paint on the white walls and concrete floors of the fine art part of his studio, and the extensive rolls of soft linen freshly silk-screened lying out to dry, Knabe said he’s tapped into a new creative energy now and found his art and design are in a dialogue more now than ever.

Growing up in Ohio, Knabe said art for him was natural at a very young age.

“I’ve really had a kind of lifetime process within my art,” he said. “It always felt natural, and

He studied art in school, and moved to New York City, where he gained experience studying or working with artists such as Thomas Hart Benton, and with Andy Warhol in his studio, The Factory. Learning the art of silk screening and perfecting other techniques, Knabe said, he absorbed much of what he saw, learned and eventu-ally transitioned to design work out of necessity.

Finding a way to still create but also make a living, design be-came a healthy solution for the young New York-based artist.

His first true design project was a commission for an upper-eastside apartment, and the image that inspired the first wall covering design hangs right in the middle of the wall above his desk today. The installation of the grid pattern on the walls of the foyer of the apartment was the start of what would become a vast design career, and his recent recognition as this year’s Leg-end IN Design by the Indiana Interior Design Coalition. Now a refreshed focus on design and art, Knabe has tackled portrai-ture and a new line of fabrics and furniture in conjunction with Outre, also in the design center.

How is the new space at the Indiana Design Center differ-ent for you as an artist?

“This studio is set up perfectly for me. I can really display what I am doing and see what I am doing. I’m doing what I have always done, but this is sort of a new sanctuary for me. The energy is different here. There is such clarity to the space it’s uncluttered and easy for me to focus. I got rid of so much stuff when I moved. It was unbelievable. Here it is not too much and is open and so vacant. I can’t wait to come in here, and it’s a great feeling.”

How do you see your design work and artwork together? How do you tackle new projects in those two realms?

“Fine art influences my design, and vice versa. And now, the influence of the art is stronger than it’s ever been. The fabrics emulate artwork and are a combination of elements that speak to a single thing. They’re different mediums but share that single message.

The narrative content of my work speaks to the way we do things that are universal. It’s ingrained in our DNA – some things we do – and the icons speak to that.

I use patterns and the icons for their geometry, and the repeti-tion is something that I really like. It gives me an armature as an artist for something to create on having that repetition.

With fine art you really have to know what you’re trying to say and what the narrative is, and with fabrics you have to look at the application also. You have to see your designed piece in relation to the space and architecture of the furniture and fabric.”

You mentioned you’ve been focusing a lot more on your artwork recently. What caused that shift for you to come “full circle” as an artist?

I did my first self-portrait in at least 25 years about a year and a half ago. I hadn’t actually done a serious one since college, I think. Anyway, I’d been working on the exhibit and was so tired creating the body of work that emotionally I was exhausted, and physically too, creating those big works. As I had been working I’d been reminiscing about my art career and where I had been. In the portrait I included the names of every place I’d lived. They become a part of you.

In the studio I have started a 3D icon of a pan-figure as another

gRaMMaR lESSOnBy Brandie Bohney

I’m very comfortable talking in front of people. Five people or 500 people, it’s of little difference. But even my comfort with public speaking doesn’t save me from occasionally struggling with one particular speaking pitfall: verbal fillers.

Some verbal fillers, like um, er, uh, and ah, are quite natural. Although there’s no hard and fast explanation as to why we use these fillers (they differ from language to language), they are a verbal cue to the listener that the speaker isn’t quite finished with what he or she is saying or that the speaker is in the process of formulating a response. Speakers who are uncomfortable with silence use them often to fill the silent void – even if that void is only two or three seconds long.

Just because they’re natural doesn’t mean you want to use them all the time. The more frequently you use verbal fillers, the less certain or articulate you will sound to your audience. In casual conversation with friends, this is not a big deal. In interviews, presentations, or other formal speaking opportunities, fillers can become a problem. Use them once or twice in formal speaking, and chances are good no one will notice. Use them with great frequency, and chances are good that your audience will start

counting the number of times you say, “um,” rather than listening to what you’re really saying.

The problem amplifies when your fillers are more complex. Common complex fillers are you know, it’s like and I mean. While the occasional um or er will probably fly under the radar of most listeners, the more complex fillers often do not. Especially if you us them all together: “Um, you know, I mean, it’s like really obvious to the listener that you don’t know what you want to say.”

So what’s the solution? First, get comfortable with silence. Three seconds may seem like an eternity to the speaker, but it’s not much to the audience. And it’s better to have a few pauses than stumbling with multiple fillers. Another solution is to know your subject very well. The more confident you are, the fewer fillers you will be inclined to use.

Remember, too, that if you use fillers a lot, it takes time to filter them out. Be patient and persistent. As I said before, I’m comfortable speaking in front of groups, and I’m still, like, trying to, um, weed them all out of my speech.

Tastes great, less filling

On May 5, 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m. and May 8 at 2 p.m., Carmel High School will put on its annual spring musical. This year’s show, “Hello, Dolly!” has a storyline that, according to the cast, relates to students and Carmel residents alike.

“There’s something in the show for everyone, and I know a lot of shows say that, but it’s so true about this show. Since it came out in the 1960s on Broadway, it really appeals to an older audience because they grew up with the music from the show,” Jessamyn Anderson, who plays Dolly Levi in the production, said. “And it ap-peals to the younger audience because several of the characters are young people and they act like they act.

“Hello, Dolly!” follows the story of Dolly Levi and Horace Vandergelder. Levi, a match-maker, thinks that she has found her dream man in Vandergelder, although he thinks otherwise. By setting Vandergeleder up on dates that are sure to fall flat, Levi hopes she can convince Vandergelder that they are made for each other.

Anderson, who has been involved in musi-cal theater since she was young, finds this year’s production different from previous musicals at the school.

“The chorus is really big in this show, and it has a much larger part in the plot,” she said. “They are in almost every single scene in some

way, and I think that’s really cool because it gets more people involved in the show.”

Anderson also said that the large ensemble cast benefits the audience, as it shows off the wide range of talent for cast members.

“According to our directors, we’re known for our production numbers, and so it benefits the audience too because they get to see the plethora of talent that Carmel has. It’s not just the talent of the leads, it’s the talent of the whole depart-ment working together,” she said.

From Anderson’s perspective, shows at the high school accurately recreate working on a musical for a company.

“It’s very professional here, and everything is very professionally handled. People have to have positive attitudes all the time; rehearsals move quickly. We just try to make it as professional as possible,” she said.

Above all, Anderson said that being a part of “Hello, Dolly!” and other productions at the high school benefits the students involved.

“You develop skills other than better perform-ing, better singing, better dancing. It’s more than that. You have to learn how to manage your time, you have to learn how to work with other people,” Anderson said.

Tickets for “Hello, Dolly!” are available at the bookstore at Carmel High School and at the door of the show. Ticket prices range from $8 to $15

Although Susan Mauck, owner of French Bleu Fine Art Gallery in Carmel, intends to keep exhibiting works by a variety of local art-ists occasionally, the primary focus of the gallery recently shifted to a mother-daughter one.

“I’ll host group shows from time to time, but the gallery is now a family affair featuring my own work and that of my daughter, Nikko Minichiello, who’s also an exceptional artist,” Mauck said, beaming with natural motherly pride.

People familiar with Mauck’s impressionistic oil portraits and representational canvases will perhaps be surprised to learn that her daughter leans toward abstract and multimedia art.

“Our paintings complement one another beautifully,” said Mauck. “Although our work has developed independently in different stylis-tic directions, we use the same palate – similar colors – in different media.”

The similarities won’t seem unusual to anyone familiar with this creative mother-daughter duo. Mauck and Minichiello both studied fine arts at Indiana University in Bloomington – with Nik-

ko receiving a B.F.A. – and at the Indianapolis Art Center.

Minichiello was exposed to art from any early age. She studied photography in high school, although she has moved on to other media since then.

“I used to take Nikko in a stroller when I took classes at the IAC,” said Mauck, who went on to teach there. “And her older professors, such as Robert Barnes and Barry Gealt, were younger when I studied with them years earlier, of course.”

Art is part of the family fabric in other ways, too. Minichiello was often – and continues to

be – the subject of some of Mauck’s paintings, which often focus on mother-and-child rela-tionships. In keeping with the family tradition, Mauck’s grandsons, Gabriel and Jesse, now ap-pear in many of her non-commissioned works.

“Like the Impressionist artist Mary Cassatt, I’m drawn to explore the tender and intimate relationships of mothers with their children,” said Mauck.

Although the gallery will be closed on Moth-er’s Day so the family can celebrate the holiday together, the special friendship between Mauck and Minichiello is always on view during regu-lar business hours and by appointment.

Divorce attorneys and family therapists are see-ing an increasing number of couples over 50 deciding to divorce. If the parties have been in a long-term marriage, the emotional and financial impact can be devastat-ing, and the parties’ ages make it more difficult to recover, especially if there has been a disparity in income or education. While much of the mar-

keting of col-

laborative divorce is geared toward younger couples with children, the process has distinct advantages for many couples over 50 regardless of whether they have children or significant assets.

The first advantage is control, as the spouses are directly involved in negotiations and decision-making. A common mis-understanding is that it is better for a judge to make decisions if spouses cannot agree. The reality is that litigation should be a last resort. In a hearing, your marital history, behavior and personal financial infor-mation are presented to a stranger via testimony and exhibits compressed into a few hours. In a collabora-tive divorce, spouses control the timeline and number of conferences needed to exchange information and negotiate a settlement.

By age 50 or older, most spouses have retirement assets and real property to divide. By using an agreed financial advisor, spouses get a realistic idea of what their changed futures look like as a result of the property division. Couples can be creative with asset distribution and find that they have more flexibility with terms compared to most litigated court orders.

Divorce is stressful, even if spouses are ami-cable. Anger, bitterness, grief and guilt are common emotions. In most litigation, these emotions result in increased fees. Working with divorce coaches or therapists can help manage the stress and emotions. This allows parties to make clear-headed, future-ori-ented decisions instead of critical financial or personal decisions in the heat of the moment.

Privacy is another advantage. Divorces are public record, and the court file may include personal details as well as allegations concerning parenting skills or drug or alcohol use, especially in custody mat-ters. Financial information may be included such as property owned, vehicles, mortgage balance, debts,

and retirement funds. In the col-laborative process, the parties agree to share information only with each other, their respective counsel and necessary experts. Less information is also disclosed in the actual settle-ment documents, therefore leading to a more private final agreement.

Even adult children can be nega-tively impacted by divorcing parents,

so couples who are able to cooperate with each other, and look for opportunities for resolution instead of revenge can minimize the effects on their children and grandchildren. A collaborative divorce is structured to encourage respectful, co-parenting relationships.

Inevitably, divorcing couples need their money – there will be two households and two sets of expenses. Traditional litigation tends to focus on getting the “best” result at whatever the cost. But the collabora-tive process is designed to minimize costs. Collabora-tive divorce benefits spouses because of its efficiency and cost-effectiveness in comparison to litigation.

The information contained herein is for informa-tional purposes only and is not intended to be legal advice.

Over 50 and divOrcing? cOnsider cOllabOrative divOrce AdvertisementFamilies fac-

ing divorce are often experienc-ing emotional and financial cri-ses, and concerns about attorneys’ fees and ex-penses associated with a divorce can overwhelm a spouse who is already under

extreme stress. But even in today’s tough economic times, there are options for couples who have reached the breaking point, with litigation alternatives such as mediation, arbitration and collaborative law offering parties more control with the least financial and emotional impact.

While mediation and arbitration have become more familiar, few people, including family law therapists, are familiar with collaborative law. This emerging practice area stresses the in-terests of children and promotes cooperation among the parties rather than confrontation in the courtroom. In collaborative divorce, the separating couple and their specially-trained attorneys pledge at the outset to try to work things out through open communication, using other collaborative experts such as counselors, financial advisors, and divorce coaches as necessary to assist in the details.

They commit not to go to court or use the information shared in collaborative discus-sions in litigation. Parties have more control to work out settlement details and find cre-ative solutions for their problems, which they understand better than a judge or third party. Positive outcomes are best reached through respectful communications, not courtroom battles.

Retention of a collaborative attorney does not change the nature of the attorney-client relationship, but instead changes the attitudes and tasks both lawyer and client take as they manage the divorce case. The focus on settlement requires parties to move out of their corners and into a discussion focused

on peacefully changing the family structure in the most mutually advantageous way possible. Negotiating a settlement can also help minimize the financial im-pact of the divorce as parties are avoiding the time, fees

and costs incurred with litigation. As members of The International Academy

of Collaborative Professionals,the collaborative law attorneys of Jocham

Harden Dimick Jackson, PC are trained to help you determine which option is best for you. If your family is facing a crisis, contact our office at 317-569-0770, or visit www.jhdj-law.com to learn more.

COMMEntaRYBy Vicky Earley

With flip flops poised for service, I am pleased to announce we are just weeks from moving our families back to that ultimate family room where kids can play unfettered, dogs can be dogs and tracking dirt is quite proper … the patio.

This is that part-time living space where the ceiling is painted sky blue and changes minute to minute depending on the time and weather. It is that coveted outdoor room where walls are as close as we build them or as far off as the horizon. It is our backyard haven, our deck, our patio, our veranda and our porch.

Yes, this year we have survived some of nature’s most challenging weather of-fensives, so we have truly earned our time in the sun. It is time to start thinking and planning this hallmark of leisure as a part of our living space.

Whether your outdoor space is a multi-level deck complete with pool and cabana or a tiny apartment balcony, the patio re-ally is part of our living space and can be decorated with the same deliberation as our interior space.

One of my favorite accessories for this seasonal annex is the outdoor rug. This versatile decorating tool provides a grounding element for an outdoor living space, defines a conversation area, or can simply disguise a tired patio surface.

When selecting a rug for the outside area, select colors and de-signs that will bring life to the space and mirror the vibrant colors

in the adjacent gardens. This is an op-portunity to decorate with your alter ego in charge and play with colors and designs you would be too timid to try indoors!

When selecting an outdoor rug, verify that it is mold and mildew proof as well as fade resistant. Most outdoor rugs are fabricated from polypropylene or acrylic, which have qualities that help them withstand the outdoor elements. As with any rug, determine the area in which you plan to use it. If it is a high-traffic area, a flat weave is a good choice to help avoid tripping.

Because of the rising popularity of outdoor rugs, manufacturers are busy introducing new product lines that mimic traditional indoor rugs. Carefully blended synthetics fibers that are weather resis-tant make it possible for you to have an

outdoor rug with the plushness and comfort of an indoor hand-woven beauty.

The best part about an outdoor rug is it can be hosed off and returned to service looking fresh and new. Dogs, kids and dirt are no threat to this decorating champ!

Don’t cry over spilled mud pie» Design seminar – Case Design/Remodeling will hold a free kitchen and bath seminar on May 5, 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Indiana Design Center at 200 Range Line Road, Carmel.

Register by e-mailing [email protected] or calling 846-2600.

» Official shoe for summer – The return of the 1970s ushered in new silhouettes for clothes, and also some fun new trends for accessories. For shoes, the wedge is the official shoe of warm weather, so try a pair with a wood base to reflect the contemporary twist on the 70s. These at Banana Republic are interesting, mod-ern, and not so trendy you won’t be able to wear them in the future. Visit www.bananarepublic.com to buy.

Arthritis of the joints affects many of us as we get older, and although there are 100 identified types of arthritis, common to all types is inflam-mation of the joints that can be very painful.

Rose hips show some potential for relieving arthritis pain naturally without the side effects associated with anti-inflammatory medications that are commonly prescribed.

Rose hips is the fruit produced by the com-mon rose plant. This bright orange, orb like fruit is high in Vitamin C and is a healthy source of other vitamins as well as antioxidants. It’s frequently consumed as a fragrant tea and can be found in dietary supplements. In the world of alternative medicine, it has been touted for it’s anti-inflammatory properties.

Some clinical studies have been conducted that show rose hips have some effect with pain reduction for different types of arthritis. A study conducted in Denmark published in Ostearthri-tis Cartilage Journal published in 2008 found it was twice as effective as placebo in reducing pain osteoarthritis patients. The study con-firmed safety of the supplement and called for longer term studies.

A study published in Phytomedicine Jour-nal in 2010 looked at its effect in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Patients were given rose hips powder daily for 6 months. Physical symptoms were shown to improve in the group of patients receiving the supplement and worsen in the control group. The studies showed that rose hips positively affected the patients with benefits that included reduced pain as well as increased joint functionality and range of motion.

If you do experience pain from arthritis, you may want to consider a rose hip supplement as a safe and natural alternative to medication with lesser negative side effects. Rose hips can be found in teas as well in powders or in extrac-tions that can be taken in supplement form. It is another option to go along with omega 3’s and turmeric to fight inflammation and the associ-ated joint pain. Of course, always consult with your doctor if you are taking other medications before taking a new dietary supplement.

Rose hips may help naturally alleviate pain from arthritis

» Amazon overvalued – Amazon’s (AMZN) revenue has increased 32 per-cent a year since 2008, but Jake Lynch of TheStreet.com says this stock is over-valued, as there are signs that its growth trajectory is tapering. Sales expansion remains brisk, hitting 36 percent in the seasonally strong fourth quarter, but prof-it growth was marginal. “Amazon, with an $83 billion market value and $34 billion of 2010 sales, is a large-cap trading like a fast-growth small-cap,” Lynch writes, add-ing that it also is far more expensive than superior tech stock Apple (AAPL).

COMMEntaRYBy David Cain

My phone has been bewildering me. It runs out of battery in a third of the time it used to. One minute it’s fine and then out of seemingly nowhere there are just minutes of battery life re-maining. I’ve restarted, rebooted and recharged, all to no avail. Finally, I tapped my solution center – I Googled it. The search results landed me on a page with several comments suggest-ing that I might have a program running in the background draining battery power.

Sure enough, there it was, an application run-ning in the background draining the life out of my little handheld friend. There was a small paper-airplane looking feature in the upper right corner signifying an application was still working away even though I wasn’t using it. My confusion had ended.

As I thought about my phone, I realized this discovery had larger implications as well. I’d been feeling especially tired lately. My batteries were drained and I commonly felt like I’d blown through a full day’s charge by noon.

I made a list: a list of things I needed to do. Not a simple ‘things to do’ list, but instead a comprehensive list of problems I was dealing with, both things undone and things headed my way. That list included my applications that were running in the background.

These things weren’t actively on my agenda, but they were hidden in my subconscious gob-bling up precious energy like Pac Man eating glowing dots. This list included those things that I’d think of once in a while. The things that would spark me to say in a loud whisper, reflective of my conscious mind being startled, “Shoot!” When someone in the room would respond with, “What?” I’d say, “Nothing, just remembered something I have to do.” Those things. They’re running in the background.

I took the list and decided I was going to tackle it with a two-pronged assault – delegate or do. I started by noting which it was going to be and then blocked the time for the ‘do’ list. I did the “do” list until I got it down to three things. Pilling up the tasks can cut your productivity drastically at a time when you need it most. Thankfully my phone reminded me of that. I need to keep the list small and try some single tasking for a refreshing break. The same can be said for my business too. Keep focused and turn off all the things that are in the background.

Single tasking

Mr. handyMan

For all the little projects, and the sometimes really big ones, a new Mr. Handyman has opened, serving a variety of locations across the Hamilton County area. Available 24 hours a day and seven days a week, the Mr. Handyman services are available for maintenance projects, car-pentry, repair projects and odd jobs that may pop up.

The franchise was established by James Furrer, who, for nearly 15 years, was a handyman hobbyist. He eventually decided Mr. Handyman was an opportunity to turn something he enjoyed into a business.

All Mr. Handyman contractors are employees of the company and thoroughly background checked with marked Mr. Handyman trucks. The company promises to arrive on time and get a quality job done the first time, and that no project, from power washing, installing kitchen cabinets and caulking bathrooms, is too small.

How can you tell the difference between a fake e-mail scam and a legit e-mail from the companies you do business with?

The recent security breach at one of the world’s largest e-mail marketing companies (Epsilon) means we are all likely to start seeing very sophisticated e-mail scams referred to as “spear phish-ing” appear in our inboxes.

Phishing in general is an attempt to fool you into giving up sensitive information, and most phishing messages are very ge-neric in nature.

For instance, a general phishing scam would generally start with “Dear Valued Customer” or “Dear XXXX User” and appear to be from a company you may or may not do business with.

This is referred to as phishing, because the scammers cast a wide net to see if they can hook a small number of recipients.

Spear phishing means the message is more personal and with a company the scammers know you do business with.

If you get a bank warning message from a bank you don’t do business with (general phishing), you are immediately suspicious of the scam; if you get a personally addressed message from a bank you do or have done business with, you are much more likely to let your guard down and fall for the scam.

It’s nearly impossible to give you a black-and-white description of what will always identify these crafty scam messages, so the first rule for any warning message or request for updated info is to never click on any of the links posted in the message.

If the warning or request is legit, it will appear on your screen when you manually log into your account, so always open a Web browser and type the address of the entity in yourself. After you log into your account, check to see if the same information is

posted in the alerts, updates or messaging section of the site.There are some real simple tip-offs of a “smelly phishing scam”

that you should always look for, nonetheless.The first is poor spelling or bad grammar, as many phishing

scams originate in foreign countries. They used to be very obvious in the past, but subtle irregularities (in grammar especially) are a sure tip-off as major corporations have the resources to review these messages for grammar and spelling errors before sending them.

(Here’s an example from a recent Bank of America scam message: “The entire activation should take only 5 minutes of your time. Please complete the activation by now.”)

Another really big tip-off is when the posted link is different than the actual site you will be taken to when you click on the link. You can sniff these mismatched links out by simply hover-ing your mouse over the link (DO NOT CLICK ON IT) and checking the status bar (usually at the bottom left corner of the message in programs such as Outlook or any major browser such Internet Explorer or Firefox).

Some mail programs may even pop-up a text window right next to your mouse cursor to show the true destination of the link.

One last word of advice: Don’t forget to be on your toes with your smartphone. For some reason, many folks don’t approach using their smartphones the same way they do their computers and fall victim to phishing scams more readily on their mobile devices (and the bad guys know this!)

» Nintendo to develop new system – Nintendo will debut a new video-game system next year to replace the Wii, the surprising success that revolutionized the industry. Nintendo has sold 86 million Wiis, making it the best-selling home console. There are rumors that the new Wii will have more advanced components than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, including a controller with its own 6.2-inch touch screen. The console reportedly could cost between $350 and $400 and will hit stores between mid-October and early November. Nintendo is reportedly considering the name “Stream” for the new system.

» Cells a problem in prison – Much to the chagrin of corrections officials nationwide, inmates have discovered the advantages of using mobile phones to coordinate es-capes, intimidate witnesses, and order retaliation against other prisoners. A phone helped in starting a riot in Alabama this month. Those worries have spurred nearly a dozen companies to develop electronic devices that jam signals, find phones, or block calls from unapproved numbers. Cell phone jammers are used in other countries but are illegal in the U.S. under a 1934 law prohibiting interfering with radio signals. Some prisons are now us-ing “managed access” technology, which allows them to check all numbers making or receiving calls with an ap-proved list.

RElatIOnSHIPSBy Rachel noble

I once heard we should write down the funny things our children do and the special memo-ries we make on pieces of paper and put them in a jar. What a great way to look back and remember all those fond memories. Would you like to join me in making a memory jar?

I’d like to dedicate this one to my dear daughter, Alexandria. In these short 11 years you’ve been on this earth, we’ve had so many adventures, and I can’t wait for more to come!

Do you remember picking mulberries and you realized ants were climbing up your legs and you started screaming? I felt so lucky to have been your “hero” for that moment.

And do you remember the time I caught you staring into the top of the plastic squeeze ketchup bottle, wondering what would happen if you squeezed it – and you did? And it ended up all on your face and in your hair? It was en-tertaining to see you follow through with your experiment and laugh at the consequences.

I remember when you were little, you fell off of your ladybug bicycle, looking up at me as if ques-tioning whether or not you should cry. I’m glad I

got to be the one to comfort you … and then put you back on the seat and send you on your way. Do you recall when we walked down the hallway of middle school for your orientation and you didn’t want to hold my hand? I told you it broke my heart, but I want you to know I understand it’s

just a part of your growing up and getting ready to face the world. I’ll still be here for you, even if you want to walk 10 paces in front of me as you soon head into your teen years. I’m grateful to be your mom, Alexandria!

Dearest single moms (and you dads out there who act as both father and mother), here’s wish-ing you a sweet Mother’s Day with your chil-dren. Take some time to put down the to-do list and spend a day basking in the glow of mother-hood. Yes, I know, if you’ve got a baby crying in the background and a toddler running around with chocolate on his hands, “basking” is not exactly the word you’d use to describe your situ-ation. But this is your day moms, so enjoy it!

SPIRItUalItYBy Bob Walters

There is no better way to explain the presence of Jesus Christ on this earth than to say God has a special love for sinners.

And while the fallen world strives to condemn sinners, Jesus Christ came to save us from the fallen-ness of sin, not to condemn us for it. Jesus obeyed unto death, sharing His perfection so that we might not be condemned for our imperfections.

Don’t get me wrong … we can still be con-demned, but it is us, we, ourselves, who do the condemning with our worldly disobedience. God loves us, wants us saved from our sins, sent his Son Jesus to seal the deal, and yet gives us the freedom to screw it up if we so choose.

John 3:16-18 and 14:6 pretty much make the entire case. God loved the world … Jesus came to save not to condemn … whoever does not believe is condemned already … no one goes to the Father except through Christ.

That’s it in a nutshell, paraphrasing Jesus’ own words. Where it gets sloppy, our stumbling block, is in discerning what “obedience” means in God’s divine context of love rather than in the fallen world’s context of power. Christ’s mes-sage isn’t “Obey Me or else!” It is “Follow me” (Matthew 4:19, plus 20 more times). It’s “repent and be baptized” (Peter in Acts 2:38).

Too often, Christian doctrine – the kind even

preached inside some churches – is mistakenly cast as an opportunity to condemn sinners, when the truth is just the opposite. Christ is our only chance for forgiveness, and it’s a forgiveness residing in God’s love, not our restitution.

And while condemnation avoidance should never be faith’s main point, what’s even worse is the false doctrine of “no condemnation.” From front to back, the Bible plainly reveals there is indeed condemnation, Hell and a great oppor-tunity to fail God. Only a false prophet would say otherwise, and the worst things about false prophets are their sweet-sounding lies that has-ten eternal condemnation.

“Be warned,” the Bible continually says.Romans 8:1 provides a succinct, reassuring

reminder about the truth: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus …”

Read those words carefully, “in Christ Jesus.”The name of God’s special love for sinners

is “grace,” and it is ours for the asking through Christ, freely and in faith. Only sinners need apply.

Only sinners need grace of Christ

Bob Walters (www.believerbob.blogspot.com, email [email protected]) quotes his Christian friend May: “Praise God that I am a sinner; it is my only qualification for receiving the grace of Christ.”

REMODElIngBy larry greene

ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home, located in the Avian Glen subdivision on the east side of Carmel, was built in the ‘90s and included the original kitchen.

MOTIVATION FOR REMODELING: The homeowners moved into the home about one and a half years ago and picked the home be-cause of the overall openness. According to the owner, “After living in the house a while, we no-ticed when we entertained that everyone loved to congregate in the kitchen and our kitchen was feeling too small and congested with large groups of people.” They then began thinking about ways to enlarge the kitchen. Since the dining room was hardly ever used, they started to think about what would happen if they took out the wall between the kitchen and dining room. They just weren’t sure if it was feasible or what it would look like.

CONSTRUCTION FEASIBILITY: The design phase determined that the wall to be removed was non-load bearing. While this saved cost, it was also determined that the wall contained ma-jor HVAC ductwork. A creative solution was to reroute the ductwork over into an adjacent wall.

The homeowner relied heavily on the designer’s use of 3D modeling software to help them visu-alize what the kitchen could look like with the wall removed.

FINAL RESULTS: The homeowner said, “We absolutely love our new kitchen. I know it’s a little crazy, but one of our favorite parts is how we made the refrigerator look built-in. I think the biggest difference from the old kitchen is of course the wall being removed. It gives us a lot more room in the kitchen and great counter space for the island.” The homeowner contin-

ued, “The backslash, paint color, as well as the continuation of the crown molding and wain-scoting from the old dining room completes the look of the kitchen we were going for. Overall, we are very happy with the outcome.”

Every four years the Mayor asks for a new City Council.Why?

We are the Experienced Team for Carmel. Oversight, Fiscal-responsibility, Citizen-Responsive

These are complex economic times for cities and towns, with tightening budgets and rising costs. We all know that Carmel is a special place to live and raise our families. The City Council’s job is not only financial oversight, but also protecting and supporting neighborhoods and institutions that make Carmel . . . Carmel.

Each of us is endorsed by

Diana Cordray, Carmel Clerk-Treasurer

and the

Constitutional Patriots of Carmel because of our record of sound,

fiscally-conservative principals and practices.

Paid for by Seidensticker for Council, Luci Snyder Campaign Committee, and Friends of Rick Sharp.

Answer: Experienced Council members understand the details of municipal finance, the requirements of state law, and the limits of a Mayor’s authority. It takes experience to run a $90 million corporation.

Support growth and economic development by continuing to invest in our infrastructure and amenities that attract corporate relocation, but do it by judicious use of our money.

Use our economic strength to leverage better financing structures in city projects, including consolidating bond debts to secure more favorable terms for the City.

Continue our close oversight of city projects. Due to the Council’s intervention, a savings of $28 million was achieved over the initial Keystone Parkway cost overruns. Continue to re-invest in existing neighborhoods. The Council successfully garnered bond money for over $2.5 million in drainage improvement projects for existing neighborhoods.

Continue to insist on not just the use of the word “transparency,” but actually require full-disclosure of the city’s business to the citizens - our employers.


Fish is a five-year-old male Labrador Retriev-er/Hound mix. Fish is very active and very playful boy who loves to run and stretch his legs. He doesn’t know a stranger and he will-ingly shares hugs but he does need to work on his leash manners because he hasn’t had much exposure to leash walking. Fish would benefit from a fam-ily who will take him to obedience school to help him focus and improve his listening skills. He would be best suited in a home with children age 8 or older. He qualifies for the PAWS Program - Partnering Animals with Seniors. Anyone age 55 or older can adopt Fish for a reduced fee.

Betsy is a 10-year-old female orange and white tabby DSH. Betsy is very loving and wants nothing more than a human lap to keep warm and a win-dow sill to watch the day go by. She is a very petite girl, only weighs about 5 pounds and she would prefer a quiet home with adults or with respectful children. Betsy qualifies for the PAWS Program – Partnering Animals with Seniors. Anyone age 55 or older can adopt Betsy for a reduced fee.

For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974

PEtS OF tHE WEEK

COMMEntaRYBy John Mikesell

Here is a quiz: Which of the following are the most important reasons for feeding a lower-protein diet to senior dogs?

A. Senior dogs need less protein than younger adult dogs.

B. Lower proteins diets help protect the kidneys, especially in older dogs.

C. Replacing protein with carbohydrates helps prevent older dogs, which may be less active, from gaining weight.

D. Carbohydrates help dogs being fed a lower-calorie diet feel full, so they won’t be hungry and crave more food.

Answer: None of the above.The truth is that there is no reason to feed lower-

protein diet to senior dogs.While lower protein diets have traditionally been

recommended for senior dogs based on assumptions such as those above, we now know that a protein-rich diet is especially important for older dogs, be-cause of the fact that their systems are less efficient at metabolizing protein. Recent studies show that healthy older dogs may need as much as 50 percent more protein than their younger adult counterparts.

Protein is valuable for many reasons: It supports the immune system and the central nervous system, contributes to wound healing, helps build lean mus-

cle, and is required for skin and coat health. When dogs are not fed enough protein, their

bodies will break down their own muscle tissue to get what they need, leading to muscle wasting and other serious problems.

What you can do:Feed your senior dog a high-protein diet, but

reduce her daily quantity of food (and perhaps the amount of fat, if needed) to help her stay lean

Select foods that contain high quality animal protein: A meat source should be first on the list of ingredients.

If you notice changes in your senior’s dogs sleep-ing or eating habits, or if your dog is slowing down, schedule a vet exam. He may be ill, not just old.

HUMORBy Dick Wolfsie

Belated congratulations are in order for Ir-windale, California – although I do question what it is they order. In 1998, they were offi-cially recognized as the city in the United States that consumes the most Big Macs per capita.

I found this little McNugget of information in the lower left-hand corner of a very old USA Today in their daily feature, Snapshots. I had clipped it out 15 years ago thinking it might be an idea for a story. I’ve been busy, OK?

The fast-food honor accorded to this tiny town of 11,000 was not based on total Big Macs consumed, but rather the average number a carnivore in Irwindale polished off in a year –a whopping 337 it turns out – or about 4/5 of a Big Mac each day. This shows great willpower at the end of the meal and also results in a lot of disgusting car ashtrays.

Hungry patrons ordered Big Macs at the Irwindale drive-thru more tham 20,000 times in 1998, but Burger King executives are skepti-cal, claiming that at least half the time the order probably got screwed up and customers drove away with a fish sandwich and a chocolate par-fait. One McExecutive further explained the huge per capita number by noting that it also includes the thousands of interstate travelers who “rolled into town and then rolled out.” He

later regretted use of the term “rolled.”Meanwhile, the mayor of Irwindale was so

happy, he was beside himself, which is what it sometimes looks like when you eat too many Big Macs. The mayor noted that this was a great day for his city. “In many ways Irwindale looks like a cross-section of America,” he beamed. I think he meant midsection. One more piece of data: The population density of Irwindale was 155.7 inhabitants per square mile, but that was the 1990 Census. By the year 2000, they could barely squeeze in 140.

I have not been able to find an update on this story. Apparently, no city has surpassed this 1998 milestone, and McDonald’s has opted to wait until this record is topped before crowning a new champ. Other cities want their 15 grams of fat fame, but there are demands by weight-conscious consumers for healthier choices on the menu. Leave it to McDonald’s to brilliantly deal with this conundrum by arming their staff with an appropriate message at the counter: “Yes, we have the new delicious low-cal, low-fat chicken fiesta salad. Would you like a Big Mac with that?”

Would you like a Big Mac with that?

HUMOR By Mike Redmond

Maybe you saw the story about hundreds of college and high school students taking up an exciting new sport, Quidditch.

Yes, Quidditch. As in “game from the Harry Pot-ter books and movies.” As in “witches and wizards flying around on broomsticks trying to score goals and, occasionally, beat the bee-gonias out of one another.” As in “made up.” “Imaginary.” “Not real.”

But still they play, running around (instead of flying over) Quidditch pitches with broomsticks between their legs, thowing the quaffle, dodging the bludgers and seeking the ever-elusive golden snitch. One change: There being a shortage of magical flying golden balls these days, the snitch of the books is replaced by a person. Presum-ably, a speedy person dressed in yellow. I’ll bet they think they’re doing something unusual.

Those of us with some wear on our tires know that made-up sports are nothing new, nothing new at all, and we need only point to our own lives to prove it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you 43-Man Squamish, a game first brought to light by Mad Magazine in 1965.

The game is played on a field called the Plut-ney, in seven 15-minute periods called Ogres (eight Ogres if it’s raining.) Each team has 43 players – one left Inside Grouch, one right Inside Grouch, one left Outside Grouch, one right Outside Grouch, four Deep Brooders, four Shallow Brooders, five Wicket Men, three

Offensive Niblings, four Quarter-Frummerts, two Half-Frummerts, one Full-Frummert, two Overblats, two Underblats, nine Back-Up Finks, two Leapers and a Dummy.

We never had enough people in the neighbor-hood to play a full game of Squamish, but we did attempt to play Fizzbin, a card game played once on Star Trek. The rules are so complex (each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer’s right, who gets seven; the second card is turned up, except on Tuesdays; two jacks are a “half-fizzbin” and must be completed by a king and deuce except at night when it becomes a queen and four) that it took an entire lunch period just to get all the hand dealt. So much for Fizzbin.

Unfortunately, the greatest made-up game came along after I was done playing made-up games. I speak, respectfully and lovingly, of the Calvin and Hobbes’ comic strip by Bill Wat-terson, which gave us Calvinball. The rules? You can make up new rules any time you like, no rule is too ridiculous, and you can never play the same way twice. Now THAT’S a game.

So let the kids have their Quidditch, I say. Is it silly? It has people running around pretending to fly on broomsticks. Of course it’s silly.

Not exactly the craziest made-up game
