It is our position that we must give construc-tion workers a brake and allow them to finish their jobs quickly and without incident. With numerous projects, big and small, taking place in Hamilton County concurrently, we need to be attentive to these zones and be sure to follow the appropriate signals. Yet likewise, staff must understand their own role and remain focused on keeping traffic safely moving.

We have high expectations for our roads in Hamilton County and expect the workers to do what it takes to complete a professional grade job without leaning on their shovels or talking on their cell phones while directing traffic. Although aside from the dangerous situation in having to deal with traffic, these good folks have been working in the hottest summer Indiana has seen in a very long time and certainly deserve to take a break every once in a while. Can construction managers work to ensure the workers on the job site are properly dressed and focused on the task at hand? We all seek quick work without being unreasonable – but we also expect crews to behave in a manner that complies with our cities and shows respect for motorists and pedestrians.

Brake for respect Sex edIt is our position that the single gender classes

at IPS Arlington Community High School are an innovative way to help solve social and academic problems at that school. Arlington has been in chaos the last several years, so drastic measures were called for. Separating boys from girls is one way to help students fo-cus on their studies. It remains to be seen if this new approach will actually be conducive to learning, because girls and boys can be equally disruptive. Teachers and administrators need to participate in ongoing training to ensure this is a workable solution.

Over the summer, news of a possible takeover by the Indiana Depart-ment of Education dominated the media, and Arlington is one of the schools on the list. While Arlington and schools in Hamilton County are vastly different, we believe our school boards should keep an eye on how going to single sex classes affects grades. It is important to be innovative with education and this is the latest attempt to create a positive learning environment where teachers and students can focus on academics rather than discipline. Let’s hope Arlington doesn’t abandon this effort before it has had time to show success.

Last week, we chronicled the real story of the resignation of Steven B. Libman, former presi-dent and CEO of The Center for the Perform-ing Arts. As of press time for this edition, we had received dozens of e-mails, voice mails, texts and tweets in support of our story and our deci-sion – with a lone exception - to “sit” on it until we could publish it with the vetting it - and all the pieces we run - deserves. We’ve heard from private citizens and public officials. It has been a wonderfully heartening response from the Hamilton County community, and it validates why we published the story and why we publish this newspaper. If there is a way for us to serve (and protect) our fellow taxpayers, please believe us when we tell you we will do everything we can to achieve on that objective. Not everyone has or will agree with the story we published, to be sure, but we trust the facts we obtained were, indeed, facts and therefore they were included in the best interests of our readers.

• • •Belden Inc., a signal transmissions prod-

uct manufacturer with a Carmel office, is adding jobs to our local economy, with 40 more positions to be filled by 2014. We like that. It’s a commitment to more than double the local staff, and it also helps to keep our

residential taxes low.• • •

We wish Amy Massillamany the best of luck in her new role as a Hamilton County Coun-cil member. She was elected in a Republican Party caucus earlier this month. At 29, she will represent something of a “youth” vote on the council, and we commend the caucus for not taking the easy, good-old-boy way of plugging the District 2 gap created by Judy Levine’s res-ignation and subsequent move to California.

Our readers prove to be perfect barometer COMMEntaRyBy Kevin Kane

This week marked the end of many of our interns’ summer tenure at Current.

It was a bittersweet event. Our most recent class was a big one made up of students with different interests and varying levels of experi-ence. But they all had skills that were used to better our publications. Their respective per-sonalities and contributions will certainly be missed.

On a more positive note you, dear high school to college-age reader looking for an interesting challenge for the fall semester: We’re looking for a new crop of interns to throw into our rock tumbler and polish up into the journalists of the future. I promise, it’s not as painful as it sounds.

Every semester Current Publishing hires one or two editorial interns per publication to help in research, reporting and writing of community news stories, which are eventually distributed to more than 92,000 homes across Hamilton County. Applicants for these positions need not have editorial experience (although it certainly doesn’t hurt). More important is a solid grasp of English and a willingness to learn.

As well, we frequently have opportunities for interns interested specifically in photography, newspaper/ad design and Web publishing. These internships are offered on a semester-by-

semester basis, and interested applicants should contact the appropriate editor directly for infor-mation about their availability.

So, if you’re 16 or older, and have your own means of transportation and an interest in writ-ing for Current, drop your local editor a line. And, as always, thanks for reading.

Goodbye interns … now, who wants their seats?

REadERS’ VIEWS

Reaction to Libman report

If there is one thing I’ve learned in my four de-cades of involvement in Carmel city government and politics, it’s that public officials must perform to a higher standard in their professional and pri-vate lives. Whether elected, appointed, employed, or being a grantee of public funds, those to whom we have assigned our money and trust are not or-dinary citizens. In addition, those who hold a posi-tion of power and have individuals subservient to them are equally answerable to a higher standard too. That is why I believe Current in Carmel got it right in the special report, Pulling Back the Curtain.

The founders of our country assured us that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press. Thanks to Current stand-ing guard, those who receive our tax dollars and wield power were scrutinized. Taking the politics out of the story, I appreciate them investigating and by doing so, protecting my money and invest-ment in my city.

The world is a 24-hour news machine. Stories

break all the time without being thoroughly inves-tigated for the purpose of getting a scoop. Blogs and non-traditional news outlets are publishing stories and readers haven’t a clue whether or not they are accurate. The Indianapolis media outlets reported on Steven Libman’s resignation without having a feel either for our community or the truth. They tend to react rather than act. One channel re-peatedly used the former CEO of the foundation’s name incorrectly. The Current, though, did its due diligence. When they found themselves with a legal obligation to turn over information to appropriate city officials, they acted responsibly.

Our city has gone through times when there was a lot of news but little coverage. The professional reporters who once covered city government left long ago. Now, Current in Carmel is taking up that void and I am glad. They did a fine job of investiga-tive journalism and got it right - not wrong.

Alan J. Potasnik 46033

I wanted to thank the staff at Current in Carmel for the way it handled the story behind the resigna-tion of Steven Libman. As we all know, any jour-nalist would love to scoop a story like this. Many would report it as soon as they could, regardless of the ramifications to the parties involved.

Current did the right thing. It looked at the potential fallout, not only for the parties involved, but also for the taxpayers of Carmel. On top of the potential lawsuits that could have flown around, think of the damage that would have been done to the reputation of the Palladium. The city of Carmel

and its tax-paying residents are 100 percent on the hook for the success or failure of The Center for the Performing Arts. The last thing the taxpayers need is to have the Palladium wrapped up in a scandal that could possibly result in huge legal fees and lost revenue. Current does many, many things to sup-port our great city, and this can certainly be added to that list. The same cannot be said of most of the Indianapolis-based media outlets, which seem to thrive on seeing Carmel painted in a bad light.

Jason Randlett 46032

Your recent article featuring Steven Libman disap-pointed me as a Current in Carmel reader. As a news-paper, reporting the facts based on actual evidence is important to me as a reader. Taking rumors and making them look factual, when in actuality they are not, is a disgrace to the newspaper. When I read infor-mation about a man who truly may have made some mistakes in his life but is being accused of something that has not even been proven true is sickening and downright desperation on the part of the Current.

It seems Current was upset about Libman not giving them the news stories that they “deserved” and decided to start looking into his personal life. In your article, you never once stated a hard fact of actual money being misappropriated, funds being used and from what source, or actual dollar amounts. The trips that were stated were actual trips to help the Palladium thrive. What on earth were you thinking? There are several reasons that

people decide to strip power away from others. It seems that the Current decided they had a right to strip Libman of his life. That is a decision based on frustration and despair by the Current.

You seemed to think that the only way to gain back the control you had over the Palladium news stories was to strip a man of his sin and post it in your paper before even a proper audit could be done. The Current used power techniques to get what it wanted. The focus became on what you could do to better your position and your power - not necessarily on what was the right thing to do.

Life is unfair. People will hurt us and let us down, and we won’t always understand why. You allowed this personal disappointment to enable you to seek revenge. Your revenge will continue to hurt others and it is no way to run a newspaper.

Anne Slamkowski 46032

I wanted tell you how impressed I am with how you handled the Libman story. I know that after you had two sources confirm the affair you could have run the story, but I agree with you: That would have been about a scoop, not about do-ing what is best for the taxpayer. My compliments to Current.

Toby Stark46032

What an excellent piece of journalism with the Libman article, and what a relief to fi-nally have everything out in the open. I respect you for waiting until the right time to run the story and you were rewarded by being able to be first and do it right. Kudos, and thank you!

Jennifer Hershberger 46033

Thank you for the sto-ry titled Pulling Back the Curtain. You did a fan-tastic job at investigating and reporting. The city of Carmel - Mayor Brain-ard and the City Council members - should pub-licly thank you.

You can’t win ‘em allCOMMEntaRyBy danielle Wilson

Do you ever have days where miscommunica-tion screws you? Where you’d have been better off speaking French? I had one last weekend that had me shaking ma tête in exasperation.

We were up north for my husband’s family re-union. Thirty-one people crammed into a 1920s lake cottage with no air conditioning. Despite the heat and humanity, I was surviving. Howev-er, shortly after lunch, I had my first “mishap.” Doo came outside determined to take the boat for an adult-only cruise around the lake, and I shot him down because his brothers had prom-ised the kids they would make a tubing run. Obviously, individual plans had not been com-municated properly. So we hashed it out right in front of his dad. Doo plead it was naptime and several couples had only these few minutes to enjoy. I stood my ground on integrity and won the fight, but felt unbelievably guilty when I told my in-laws they would not be boating sans enfants at the moment. Strike one.

A few hours later, the next snafu occurred. One of my brothers-in-law was turning 40, and I was charged with making my famous chocolate cake for the dinner celebration. My oldest daugh-ter came in late on the baking, so I promised her she could help with the icing. However, the boat battle left me memory lapsed and I forgot to get her. Worse yet, I let her ever-present younger

sister participate. When shafted daughter found out, she quite literally went ballistic. She was so upset I had to pawn her off on Doo, who promptly incarcerated her in one of the 100 de-gree bedrooms until she calmed down. Her con-finement wouldn’t have been so bad, except she missed the hacking of the lion piñata with her 16 cousins. Obviously, this piece of news did not sit well with her either. Strike two for moi.

The final controversial incident happened shortly after dinner. We ate later than anticipated; so, several of the moms decided to put their kids straight to bed and bypassed dessert. Birthday de-liciousness would apparently be savored the next day. I missed the memo and told my four chil-dren they could stay up. You can imagine what happened when my gateau-deprived nieces and nephews heard their cousins were scoring sugar while they were sequestered in sweatboxes. It was not pretty and neither were the looks I rightly received from several sisters-in-law. Merde.

But by this point I was so emotionally drained I just couldn’t give a flying frick. I apologized for the umpteenth time that day and called it quits. You can’t win ‘em all. Paix out.

COMMEntaRyBy Jeff Worrell

When I was first encouraged to visit the apple store, I thought it an odd request. I tend to lean towards IBM, however I am warming up to Mac. But, I quickly realized Ellen Smith was excited about the other apple store. The real apple store, selling the finest, locally grown, hand dipped caramel apples, cider slushies, apple butter and other gourmet items as part of the Conner Prairie experience.

Since 1985, the ladies of Conner Prairie Al-liance hand dip apples and sell them as their primary fundraiser for Hamilton County’s fa-mous interactive historical venue. Ellen Smith, Vice President of Communications for the Alliance,tells me 90 ladies are members of the volunteer group. They include career/working women and stay-at-home mothers who last year racked up some pretty impressive stats.

• 65 ladies donned aprons, hair nets and gloves to carefully dip 19,374 apples.

• 6,929 apple cider slushies slurped• 7,437 apple spice and pumpkin donuts

consumed• In just 9 weeks, $90,000 raised.• $80,000 dedicated towards starting the

new 1863 Civil War Journey.• $10,000 helps kee the 1859 Balloon Voy-

age afloat.• 19% increase 2010 over 2009 funds• Five year total: $385,000

The Conner Prairie Alliance is made up en-tirely of volunteers. Ladies whom remember Conner from childhood days or women whom enjoy history and want to make sure a place for children to learn is preserved for future genera-tions. Alliance member Mandy Hunter, “I love to see the children enjoy their treats from the apple store. Whether it is a caramel apple or one of our specialty items, the pure happiness on their faces makes our hard work pay off.” “I have been a fan of Conner Prairie since I was a child. It is very exciting to be a part of a group that supports the wonderful experiences Con-ner Prairie provides for my children today,” said Staci Pratt, Alliance member since 2007.

The apple store at Conner Prairie opens Sep-tember 1, 2011 and will offer opening day dis-counts and specials. Normal hours are Tuesday through Sunday 11 am to 5 pm. Evening hours are available during Symphony on the Prairie and Headless Horseman. The last apple will be sold on October 30th. The Alliance is holding a new member event at 9:00 am on September 13, 2011. For more information contact 317-776-6011 or [email protected]. An apple a day for you?

[email protected] Humane Society for Hamil-

ton County is combining two of its most popular annual events into one big community celebration.

On Sept. 11, HSHC will hold two of its annual fundraisers - Dog Day Afternoon and Woofstock – on the same day in an effort to create one pet-friendly festival it says the public will not want to miss.

Dog Day Afternoon featuring Woofstock Festval will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the gazebo at Carmel Civic Square. More than 75 exhibitors and food vendors will be at the event and the Woofstock stage at the gazebo will feature a full day of live music and canine contests.

The event also will include a mo-ment during which attendees will be asked to “paws and remember” those who lost their lives during the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 and the men in women in uniform who work to keep us safe. A police K9 that helped search the rubble at Ground Zero also will be in attendance.

While HSHC invites owners to bring their dogs to this fundraiser, all dogs must remain on a leash at all times and be current on vaccinations. Admission is a $5 donation per adult while chil-dren will be admitted for free. For more infor-mation, visit www.carmeldogday.com.

Back to school time is often a frenzy of checklists and deadlines as families adjust to the end of summer and try to resume a “normal” schedule. It is also a time when divorced or unmarried parents face challenges because of changes in chil-

dren’s activities or even parents’ own work schedules.

As children get older and become active in sports or extracurricular activities, coor-dinating parenting time around practice and pick-up times can become frustrating. More con-flict can arise especially if the extracurricular activity interferes with parent-ing time schedules. It can be a difficult choice to balance a child’s need for social interaction with quality time with both parents, particularly in situations where one parent is the primary physical custodian.

Another dispute that commonly arises occurs when a child is transitioning from an elementary school to middle or high school, and transporta-

tion needs change. In situations where both parents work outside the home, parents may be struggling to come up with a solution. This has been a particular issue for many parents this year in certain districts that have changed bus-ing policies.

Changes in parents’ work schedules may also necessitate an adjustment to parenting time. This occurs most frequently with parents who work in careers with non-traditional work schedules, such as healthcare and emergency

services. Standard parenting time under the Indiana Par-enting Time Guidelines may not be feasible for parents who work varying shifts or different days each week.

When changes occur, co-parents with an amicable relationship may be able to communicate and work out

an agreement, but that isn’t always possible. If a dispute has arisen regarding parenting time, consulting with an attorney can help you under-stand all of your options. At Harden Jackson, our family law attorneys help clients find solu-tions to life’s transitions.

[email protected] Carmel Clay Public Library is seeking

input from residents as it begins developing its next strategic plan.

CCPL has begun a new strategic planning pro-cess that will involve the entire Carmel Clay com-munity and explore new visions and strategies for relevant, targeted and exceptional library services into the future. The goal is to create a compelling vision of what CCPL will be – and why – in the next decade, based upon an understanding of future scenarios, and the issues and trends that will impact and shape not only our immediate community, but the larger world around us.

An online survey can be accessed at www.car-mel.lib.in.us/survey. Carmel and Clay Township residents are encouraged to complete the survey, whether they use the library or not. Because community input is extremely important to the planning process, the library also will conduct focus groups and strategy workshops at the end of August, and in September, two community forums will be held for public input. A final community forum will be held in November to discuss the new strategic direction.

To facilitate the process, the library’s Board of Trustees hired Sam McBane Mulford, principal strategist and founder of ideation-collaborative.

She has more than 21 years of experience in strategic master planning, programming and design of both large and small-scale public and private projects. She will facilitate all meetings, workshops, focus groups and forums, and will guide the development of strategies and goals.

“We are pleased to be working with Sam, and look forward to hearing from as many people in the community as possible during this process,” said Wendy Phillips, CCPL director.

The plan is expected to be complete by the end of the year, with implementation beginning early in 2012. A core team of library staff, board members, and community stakeholders is work-ing with Mulford to set the course of the plan-ning process and ensure its success.

“My philosophy toward 21st century librar-ies is that they are places of discovery, a com-munity’s family room, portals beyond, and even havens,” states Mulford. “Libraries provide transformational experiences at critical junctures in lives, or just have the book a reader has been dying to get her hands on.”

Questions and comments regarding the pro-cess are welcome and can be sent to Communi-cations Manage Beth Smietana at [email protected]. For updates as the process moves forward, visit www.carmel.lib.in.us.

CCPL embarks on strategic plan process



By Kevin [email protected]

When frantic rescue efforts at the State Fair were coming to an end the night of Aug. 13, Sam DiCarlo found an ironic memento from a life-changing event.

He found a guitar pick near the stage, one side reading “Sugar-land,” and the other “I was there.” The 17-year-old Carmel High School student kept the pick to remember the night when he and his twin brother, A.J., changed from typical teenagers to local heroes.

The brothers were among the people who jeopardized their own safety to assist others when concert rigging collapsed at the State Fairgrounds, ultimately resulting in six deaths and dozens of injuries.

The DiCarlos personally helped at least five seriously injured people and remained at the scene for hours after the collapse. However, the two said their desire to help was purely instinctive. Not only do they refuse to be deemed heroes, but they are “em-barrassed” by the recognition they have received since that night.

“We hate the attention,” A.J. said. “There were other people out there who should be recognized, too. We’re just two kids who went out there on our first instinct.”

But not everyone reacted as the twins did. The brothers were in the grandstands when the collapse hit at 8:49 p.m. While Sam said nearly everyone else around them froze in shock, he and A.J. immediately began making their way to the stage. Aisles were blocked and others in the stands barely moved, but the two quickly made it down by jumping over seats and cutting through rows. When they reached the ground, the boys split up went wherever help was needed.

A.J. said he immediately began helping to lift a section of the rig under which a man was trapped. Sam also went to help in-dividuals who were under the wreckage.

“I hopped under the truss and there were two ladies under there,” he said.

One, he added, had several facial lacerations and had suf-fered an ankle break severe enough to expose the bone. The other had a serious head injury. He stayed with these two and later helped get them onto flat surfaces and out from under-neath the truss.

Throughout the night, the brothers continued to jump over and crawl under various parts of the collapsed rigging in search of others who needed assistance. One such person was Nathan Byrd, who later passed away. The twins attended his funeral last week.

Sam also may have helped prevent additional injuries from

occurring. While the master electrician immediately shut off power to the lighting after the collapse, the sound was still active. In the rain, Sam assisted in turning off the power, something he was familiar with doing through his work with CHS’ theater department.

Sam and A.J. remained at the scene until about 12:30 a.m. – nearly four hours after the accident and about three hours after Sam called their mother, Cheri. The brief phone call simply ex-plained what happened and that the twins were unharmed. The conversation ended before Sam mentioned that he and A.J. were

sticking around to help, but Cheri said she didn’t need to be told this.

“To know Sam and A.J. is to know that they’re doing that,” she said. “That’s what they do. They would have been involved no matter what…But was I freaking out a little bit? Yeah.”

While she worried for their safety, the brothers say the risk of suffering injuries never crossed their minds. They were too busy helping those who already were hurt, they said. Despite spending hours navigating through a mess of broken glass and collapsed rigging, only A.J. came away with an injury: a cut on his finger

from carrying a table.The two now say they were

destined to be there that night.“God put us there for a

reason: to help out,” Sam said. “That’s why we were there.”

Regardless of what brought them to the concert, the boys’ technical theater instructor at CHS, Aaron Seelig, said Sam and A.J. were two of the best people to have in the grand-stands that evening and, wheth-er the two like the title or not, they are indeed heroes.

“I believe these two boys are the most courageous and self-less kids I have ever met,” he wrote in telling others of their efforts. “They risked their own lives to help people they never knew and used knowledge that they gained from our depart-ment to help in whatever way they could.”

Carmel Clay Schools has launched a new pro-gram designed to improve the district’s communi-cation with community leaders.

The new program, dubbed the CCS Expedi-tion, invites about 20 community leaders to monthly two-hour meetings. The topic of each month’s meeting will be different from the rest and some sessions will provide hands-on learning experiences, such as riding a CCS bus or eating a typical school lunch in one of its cafeterias.

CCS hopes this program will improve its trans-parency and communication with the community while also providing in-depth information regard-ing the state of the district.

The Expedition, which will be held annually with new groups, includes members of CCS’ administration, including Superintendent Jeff Swensson, but each session will be led and moder-ated by individuals who are not CCS employees.

“(Parents often have) the fear that, ‘I have to be careful with what I say (to school employees), or they’ll take it out on my kids,” said Joe Loomis, who led the first meeting last Tuesday. “That per-ception is out there and it’s prevalent. We’re risk-free people who can answer your questions.”

Current in Carmel is participating in the Ex-pedition and will provide updates after future meetings.

» Properly water grass – Only water your lawn when it shows signs of thirst then add at least one inch of water. Watering deeply forces the grass to set down deeper roots, making the roots of the grass deeper than those of the weeds. When the soil dries out, the weeds will die from lack of moisture, while the grass stays lush and green. An-other benefit of watering deeply is that your lawn will require less frequent watering.

Have your butcher remove the membrane from

the back of the ribs.2. Sprinkle salt and pepper (more pepper than

salt), and 1 tablespoon chile pepper over meat. Wrap each rack in aluminum foil. Place on the “off” side of your grill (indirect heat) and grill in the foil for 3 hours at 225 degrees.

3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in oil for

5 minutes. Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and 1/2 table-spoon ground chile pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, and set sauce aside.

4. Change outdoor grill to high direct heat. Remove the racks from the foil, and place again on the grill. Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Brush sauce on the ribs while they’re grilling, just before you serve them (adding it too early will burn it).

COOKIngBy Clint Smith

There’s a Depeche Mode song that asks, “Is simplicity best, or simply the easiest?” I say, “sometimes both.” Case in point: this recipe. As a high school teacher—and with the tidal wave of the new school year swelling on the horizon—relaxing with my family on the week-ends is a premium. So when it comes to break-fast and brunch, it doesn’t hurt to keep things simple and easy.

Poaching is a gentle process that yields deli-cate dishes. Being proficient with this technique requires a few simple components: water, heat, vinegar, finesse. Oh, and bellies to feed. Poached eggs have a delicate exterior and a silky, over-easy interior—an ideal counterpoint to the

savory crunch of the crostini. Similar to pesto, this pistou dressing enhances the dish with a salty, parmesan-garlic pungency.

If you’re squeamish about undercooked eggs, I hear you—it’s a reasonable concern. Cook your eggs to a temperature that will make your audience the happiest. If you have a little more peace of mind, there’ll be fewer pieces of leftover food on your plate.

It’s not just for Sunday brunch, so enjoy this recipe with friends, family, or (giving another nod to DM) simply “enjoy the silence.”

Over-easy like Sunday morning

Ingredients• 2 large eggs• As needed, water• As needed, white vinegar• 2 slices French bread, oiled, toasted• 2 handfuls fresh arugula of baby

greens• 1 ounce fresh basil• 3 cloves garlic• ½ cup grated parmesan • To taste, kosher salt and cracked

black pepper• As needed, olive oil

Directions1. In a blender or food processor,

combine fresh basil, garlic, and parmesan. Pulse until mixture is broken up. With motor running, drizzle in olive oil until mixture resembles a thin vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve in refrigerator.

2. Fill up a medium-sized saucepan with water; add vinegar and apply heat until you can maintain a temperature of 180° F. Gently crack eggs into a small dish, taking care not to break yolks. Delicately pour one egg at a time in poaching liquid, using

a spoon to fold albumen over egg to keep oblong shape. After 4-5 minutes (or after reaching desired doneness), remove egg and reserve on a lightly oiled plate. Repeat process for second egg.

3. In a bowl, lightly dress salad greens with olive oil and salt and pepper. Place salad on plate, add crostini, and place egg on crostini. Finish with pistou and serve.

» Pumpkin seeds fight fatigue – If your 30-minute workout leaves you very fa-tigued, you might be low on magnesium. When researchers at the U.S. Agricultural Research Service restricted intake of the mineral among 13 women ages 47 to 75 for 4 months, they found that those with mag-nesium deficiencies required more oxygen uptake during physical activity, used more energy, and therefore tired more easily. Snack on 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds and you’ll take care of about half of your recommended daily allowance, 310 mg for women (320 mg for ages 31+) and 400 mg for men (420 mg for ages 31+).

His work was published in two journals in 2009, and he’s been ordered to retract them. But important studies by other scientists like those at the Mayo Clinic, who based their work on his findings, could now make 10 years of their studies worthless, according to commentary in Gaia Health.

They measured the blood levels of omega-3 fats (a reliable indicator of consumption) of 106 healthy adults and gave them psycho-logical tests. Those with the highest omega-3 blood levels scored 49 to 58 percent bet-ter on the tests than those with the lowest blood levels.

COMMEntaRyBy Barry Eppley

As plastic surgery continues to enjoy wide-spread acceptance and an increasing array of treatment options, it is no surprise people of all ages are undergoing cosmetic changes. This is highlighted in a story I read recently about a 83-year-old woman who had combined a breast lift and breast implant operation. Although the story made news, it is nothing out of the ordinary. More people who are at an age many would consider ‘too old’ for plastic surgery are having something done.

The perception of being too old may be per-ceived as a function of safety for surgery and anesthesia. But it may also conveyone gets to an age where they don’t care about their appear-ance or that they shouldn’t. This may be a pre-sumption coming from the view of those much younger, but that could offend many older patients. While medical problems and poor health may make plastic surgery a remote or non-consideration for many people age 65 and older, those in good health with active lifestyles may exercise their option to do so.

There are certainly more septuagenarians and octogenarians having plastic surgery today than ever before. While these ages make up less than 10 percent of the total U.S. population, it is no longer rare to see such patients in consultation for facelifts, necklifts, eyelid tucks and even li-

posuction. A frequent question I see on a popu-lar plastic surgery website asks panel of plastic surgeons, “Am I too old for plastic surgery?”

According to 2010 statistics from the Ameri-can Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, over 80,000 people age 65 and older had some type of plastic surgery. The highest number of procedures is facelifts, forehead lifts and eyelid surgery. Although the American population is aging, the length of lives are increasing. Aging Americans are more active than any generation before them, these numbers are not going to decline in the years ahead.

The relevant question for many older people then is, “When is one too old to undergo plastic surgery?” Many plastic surgery procedures require an anesthetic with its associated cardiovascular risks. The most commonly requested procedures, such as a facelift, can take extended operation times of three to five hours with increased risks of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus. The consideration of one’s health, medications being taken and the medical opinion of one’s doc-tor can determine whether these known risks are reasonably low to justify elective cosmetic surgery.

» Rent a casket – For those who want to save money on a funeral, many funeral homes now offer a rent-a-casket option. The casket contains a simple inner container that is removed after the funeral service. The deceased is buried in the container, and the casket is then reused for multiple services.

» Builders still pessimistic – The National Association of Home Builders said last week that its index of builder sentiment in August was unchanged at 15. The index has been below 20 for all but one month during the past two years. Any reading below 50 indi-cates negative sentiment about the housing market. It hasn’t reached 50 since April 2006, the peak of the housing boom.

» The living dead – More Americans are be-ing erroneously killed off by the Social Secu-rity Administration every day. Of the approx-imately 2.8 million death reports the Social Security Administration receives per year, about 14,000 – or one in every 200 deaths – are incorrectly entered into its Death Master File. That averages out to 38 life-altering mis-

takes a day. Erroneous death entries can lead to benefit termination, cause severe financial hardship and distress to affected individuals, and result in the publication of living indi-viduals’ personal information.

» Kids costs $200,000 – Parents will spend, on average, more than $200,000 raising a child by the time their teen graduates from high school, according to a study by Los Angeles-based IBISWorld. Couples earning more than $75,000 a year will shell out more $300,000. According to the study, a typical family spends $12,658 a year raising a child.

» BMC: Buy or sell? – Lackluster quarterly results at BMC Software have triggered a debate over whether this is a blip or an indication of long-term weakness for the business-software maker. The company failed to show any bookings growth in April-June at its enterprise services management busi-ness, the larger of its two divisions. Weeks ago, the stock hit a more-than-a-decade high of $56.55. The bears say BMC’s low es-timated earnings multiple -- of 12.4 against a sector average of 39.6 -- is a sign of muted future growth.

COMMEntaRyBy david Cain

I started running again. This morning, I was almost sent to early retirement by a car. It was my fault. I get in my own world. Headset on, trudging ahead, I stopped really looking both ways. I did physically look but really I was just going through the motions. It was more like a glance instead of a look, a quick peak with no conscious thought about what I was doing.

I was running at what felt like the speed of a leopard, but it was probably more like that of a wounded bear. Maybe a bear that quit looking both ways and had been hit by a Hummer. Any-way, I was going slowly so it was easy to stop. I was about to plunge out into the road, glanced both ways, then a car sped by within inches. Within inches of a major disaster.

My life flashed before my eyes. Well, not re-ally. But it did scare me enough that for the next 15 minutes of my run I thought about impor-tant stuff and mentally wrote this column.

I remembered how my little girls cross the street. I take them to the curb and say, “Look all

ways” and then watch to make sure they make some effort at my request. Recently I said to Zoe, “Look all ways” and she quipped back, “I can’t see from down here.”

I’d never really thought about it. There are two components at least – concentration and ability – to a success-fully crossing the street. As I galloped along at what now seemed like the speed of a winning racehorse, I could clearly

see the lines between life and business were blurred. I realized when I’m at the office I don’t really look both ways, I just run out in the road mostly. The ability to see both ways is only part of the battle. Most of the battle is fought and won on concentration and execution. Instead, actually accomplishing something or really look-ing both ways with real purpose for why you are doing something makes a difference.

Look both ways when crossing the street

David Cain works at MediaSauce, a digital media and online marketing company in Carmel. David wel-comes your questions or comments at [email protected].

The ability to see both ways is only part of the battle.



» Remove sweat stains – Drop two aspirin pills in water, let dissolve, and soak the stain in the solution. The stain should be gone after laundering.

» Touch up midday – You may be used to applying primer before foundation, but oil-absorbing formulas can also be used on top of makeup to help tone down shine. Unlike a powder, a primer won’t cake; unlike blotting papers, it won’t lift off your makeup. Try Bare Escentuals Prime Time Oil Control Founda-tion Primer ($21, Sephora). Pump a few drops into the palm of your hand, then gen-tly press onto oily areas with your fingertips.

» Revive hair roots naturally – Want to sap greasy roots and add volume to your hair? Dry shampoo could be your new mane squeeze. Before you buy one, try a smart substitute from your kitchen: cornstarch. Sprinkle a pinch along your part, tousle your hair to distribute throughout, then brush and style as usual.

-www.today.msnbc.com

» Leaving empty-handed – Consumers who don’t feel good about their body image are less likely to purchase something they try on at a clothing store if they see an attractive shopper wearing the same thing, according to a study in the August issue of the Journal of Consumer Research. The study included 69 female college students who thought they were evaluating a store as mystery shoppers. The participants were instructed to ask a salesperson about a specific shirt and were subsequently directed to a rack where a high-ly attractive woman was standing and “coin-cidentally” wearing the product. The women later were asked about their impressions of the product and their own bodies. Those with lower body esteem gave the product a lower rating.

It’s never too late to get fit. Geared to address specific concerns about personal fitness and physical limitations. Dedicated one-to-one training.

COMMEntaRyVicky EarleyTextile – 1. any fabric or cloth, esp woven 2.

raw material suitable to be made into cloth; fibre or yarn

The definition of this superstar of the design world makes fabric seem ordinary…far from the design vital core that it is.

The textile selected for an interior design proj-ect fulfills many artistic and functional roles. So much is expected of this humble weave.

Fabric costs have risen substantially in the past few years so using wisely is critical to any project.

If your fabric is for upholstery, consider how the room is used. A delicate fabric such as silk is best used on an accent chair that will not experience a tremendous amount of wear. This is a situation where the fabric is expected to be beautiful and make a statement.

The sturdy chenilles and wovens are the workhorses of the textile industry and carry the load in family room upholstery settings. Most upholstery grade textiles carry a “rub-factor” grade that will tell you what to expect in terms of usage based on testing.

Once you’ve decided on a particular style,

research the look in magazines and books to get a feel for the textiles that best set the mood. Certain textures and sheens work best for spe-cific styles. Remember, the blend of textures says as much about the style as the pattern and color.

Coordinate the pattern and color along with the sheen and texture of your fabric. You could

have sensory overload in a room full of polished cotton and silk if it’s not tempered with enough matte materials.

Select the fabric before selecting a wall color, I can’t emphasize this

enough. There are millions of colors but there are relatively few fabrics you will love enough to use for your home.

Look beyond the traditional fabric store for an inspiring textile. One of my favorite projects was to upholster a bench that was intended for a young girl’s room; using the quilt that had been her baby blanket.

Sweaters can become pillows and jewelry can adorn!

Nothing says cozy like a Nordic Sweater. This year, avoid looking like your grandfa-ther by throwing one on with a pair of sleek denim jeans. Be sure that the sweater fits and is not too snug or too big. You can also leave your winter jacket at home when sport-ing this style, as the thick knit will keep you plenty warm.

While 2010 was adorned with embellishments and accessories, 2011 is a change toward the more au naturale. There will be no lack in impressibility or quality but a shift in embracing natural texture and style will be a welcome change.

Prep Prep using the Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray to ensure a strong hold. The key is to add volume without making the style too messy. Use Aquage Uplifting Foam or Sea Salt Texturizing spray at the roots. Set the products by blow-drying on high.

StyleAfter hair is completely dry, part in the middle down the back of the head. Pull the separated strands to

each side and firmly grasp them in your hands. Tie the first knot and pull tight before tying the next. After the two knots are tied, secure using bobby pins. Start by placing a bobby pin through the left hair part and the hair knot. Do the same on the right hair knot. For a more secure hold, add a pin that goes through the second knot that was created.

Finish Add shine and hold by using Aquage Finishing Spray liberally throughout the hair.

For more style tips, be sure to ask your stylist at Salon 01 about the newest trends!

Offer good through August 31, 2011

Celebrities are known for their impeccable looks, slim physiques, and the endless amount of help they have to achieve this ideal image. While we would all love to have a team getting us ready in the morning, an hour in the salon can be just the trick to minimizing your morning prep time and adding effortless glamour to your everyday style. Eyelash extensions are the newest way to get incredible style with minimal effort.

Why try them?Extensions are semi-permanent, weightless, water-resistant, and last up to four weeks. The application is a painless, relaxing procedure that can take as little as a half hour from start to finish. You’ll notice increased length and thickness even without mascara.

What are they?Salon 01 uses Xtreme Lashes that are composed of single strands of synthetic eyelashes curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They are applied directly to the individual eyelashes, one at a time. There are over 400 varieties with varying lengths, colors, curvatures, and thicknesses. Because there are so many options, you’ll find a style that is natural and perfect for you.

Are they safe?Xtreme Lashes was actually developed by a team of scientists, physicians, and lash stylists under the direction of the founder Jo Mousselli, who is a registered nurse. Because such a diverse team has created the lashes, they are of the highest safety, quality, and performance standards.

How will it change my beauty routine?You will no longer need to apply mascara but will be able to do so using Xtreme Lashes Mascara, specially formulated for the extensions. Aftercare for the extensions requires makeup remover and facial cleanser for proper maintenance.

ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home located in the Longridge Estates Subdivision on the west side of Carmel was built in 2006. The current owners built the home but had not finished the basement.The homeowner commented, “Hav-ing the basement finished was a dream of ours since the beginning.”

ROOM FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS: According to the homeowner, the entire family is enjoying the new basement. The family includes mom and dad and children with ages ranging from 14 to 22. “We wanted the basement remodeled to make it more inviting and to accommodate the friends of our youngest child. It turns out my husband uses the room the most. The kids are not there all of the time. but now they have a place to go when their friends come over.”

ENTERTAINMENT AREAS: The new base-ment features a media area highlighted by an in-ceiling projector, wide screen and theatre seat-ing. According to the homeowner, “We just love the entertainment area. We love the big screen with the projector, the seating arrangements, the exercise room and the closet space. The base-ment area is so open. We really like the way it

was designed and the way it all came together.”CLOSET SPACE AND EXERCISE ROOM: The

new basement features additional storage and a dedicated exercise room, which is separated from the rest of the basement by glass French doors. The homeowner said, “Things were sort of organized on store-bought shelves or I didn’t

have anything at all to put things on. We could never find anything. Now, with the closet space, it is so easy to reach things and to organize with the shelves. And, it’s more inviting. My exercise room is so much more inviting to be in. I’m more motivated to exercise.”

Finally, the new basement received new tex-

tured epoxy flooring and a new full bathroom.

SPIRItUalItyBy Bob Walters

A popular online news organization recently post-ed a feature story about why it’s a mistake to read the Bible literally and folly to think the Bible is inerrant.

Written by a Christian professor, the article cited predictable scholarship and supporting evidence. The Bible itself claims to be “inspired and useful” (2 Timothy 3:16), but not inerrant. Revelation (the Bible’s final book) in parts is impenetrable. Even the brilliant St. Augustine had to allegorize (or, “say it was something else”) the story of Jonah and the whale. The four Gos-pels don’t agree about what happened on days of Holy Week when Jesus was betrayed, tried, crucified and resurrected.

Lots and lots of stuff in the Bible don’t seem to add up.

Well, it’s a good day for the Devil when he can sow doubt about the Bible, and by exten-sion, about God. The double-entrendre head-line, “4 reasons not to read the Bible … literally,” may be harmless, or could imply: The Bible is wrong, so if the Bible is the story of God, then God must be wrong. Hallelujah, we can ignore the Bible and God. Misinterpreted or not, the headline harkens rehashing.

A Christian faith conversation centered on literalism and inerrancy of the Bible will quickly go out-of-round for the simple reason that the conversation isn’t truly centered. The Bible is

something dramatically more important than “literal” and “inerrant.” It is truth, which almost always involves more than simple calculation.

If the issue is, “The Bible doesn’t add up,” then let’s go to math class. Let’s add up a list of numbers, terms and factors; we’ll get a defensi-bly inerrant answer. But, if the “list” is actually a quadratic equation and calculated with the wrong method like addition, we’ll not only get the wrong answer but entirely miss the point of the exercise because we have mistaken its central purpose, which is not addition.

Secularist logicians and sadly more than a few Christians miss the “answer” of the Bible because they refuse or confuse the Bible’s cen-tral purpose – revealing God’s truth. Scripture’s message isn’t simple addition, it’s a cosmically complex equation of faith, hope, love, truth, creation, relationship, separation, loss, betrayal, death, redemption, eternal life and perfection. It’s the ultimate story problem.

And what’s the story? Jesus Christ is the literal truth about an inerrant God, and we – each of us personally – is a loved and important part of the equation.

That is the true center of the Bible.

Literal truth, inerrant God

» No drunk pet shopping – New York pet-shop proprietors are taking a stand against irresponsible pet owners by refusing to sell puppies to drunk customers. Two popular stores in the city’s West Village--Le Petit Puppy and Citipups--have officially banned store patrons from buying dogs if they come into the store inebriated, according to the Washington Post’s Blogpost blog. Le Petit Puppy’s manager, told the Post that it’s common for customers to leave local bars and buy kittens or puppies.

» Adopt cats for less – All felines, kittens included, are 50 percent off every Thurs-day at the Humane Society for Hamilton County until further notice. That’s just $37.50 or less for the fabulous feline of your choice including spay/neuter, micro-chip and vaccines. The hope is that the new Thursday incentive will encourage people to adopt a cat or kitten, opening space for the influx of felines that the shelter is already seeing due to “kitten season” and the continued increase in owner-surrendered cats. “In May alone, we have taken in numerous pregnant cats, dozens of orphaned kittens and nearly 100 stray and unwanted cats,” said Executive Director Rebecca Stevens. “By reducing the number of cats in our care, our hope is to prevent the spread of ill-ness and cramped quarters for the felines who remain.”

Don’t look for or put your faith in a silver bullet antioxidant, it doesn’t exist. Rather, sup-plement your dog’s diet with a variety of fresh foods that contain antioxidants, such as bluber-ries, herbs (basil is great), tomatoes, egg yolks, green tea or spinach.

Feed these foods especially in times of in-creased physical stress for your dog, for example, when he’s fighting cancer, or after extreme physical exertion.

Don’t overfeed anyone antioxidants. Balance and variety are always advised. Here are some issues with which antioxidants can help:

Arthritis: Antioxidants, but particularly vita-min C, are vital to any arthritic therapeutic pro-gram. Vitamin C is involved in the building and healing of joint and bone structures and it plays an active role in the immune response.

Cancer prevention: Antioxidants protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals, slow tumor growth, and/or help cellular DNA retain its normal configuration.

Vision and eyesight: Antioxidants leutine and zeanxanthin are particularly helpful for sup-porting good eye health.

Immune function: Antioxidants are known to enhance healthy lymphocyte production as well as offering protective factors for other com-ponents of the immune system.

Exercise tolerance: Studies indicate there may be a protective effect from long-term exer-cise, when exercising produces an excess of free radicals over time the body

Heart disease: Antioxidants protect the heart and circulatory system from oxidative stress from free radicals

Whenever possible, use natural food sources known to be high in antioxidants.

If it helps make the food more palatable for your dog’s taste buds, go ahead and chop up vegetables, fruits and berries, all excellent sourc-es and many of these will provide a healthy stew of a variety of antioxidants.

Do not overdo any one antioxidant. A healthy balance is the key. Again, this is best provided by giving a mixture of many antioxi-dant sources in the diet.

Be sure to see your health food professional for food and supplement suggestions.

Remember, additional vitamins, too, as all pets in this day and age are exposed to more environmental pollution and because our dogs’ food sources are usually not as natural as they should be.

Why your pets needs antioxidants

HUMORBy dick Wolfsie

Many of the devices in my home have features I wouldn’t dare mess with. My TV remote has an option that says LOCK. As someone who once got stuck in his garage naked, I’m not looking for any more trouble. Our dishwasher has a switch that says AUTO WASH but I’m not really sure how I’d get the Prius in there. The clothes dryer has a WRINKLE SHIELD setting. I would like that one installed on my forehead. It’s best not to annoy your appliances, so I’m going to push as few of their buttons as possible.

However, as a writer, I’m not averse to pro-grams on my computer that facilitate the creative process. For example, there is a neat feature on my Microsoft Word 2010 that keeps track of how long I have worked on a particular text. Now I can get a pretty good idea of the time I could spend doing something worthwhile, instead. By the way, the software simply counts how many minutes I have had the document open on my desktop. It does not include the hours I roll around in bed, slamming my cranium into the headboard trying to come up with a topic to write about. That’s in the 2012 version.

My editor, Heidi, also suggested that I try us-ing the helpful Find and Replace feature to help me avoid redundancy. She showed me how to enter terms and phrases into a search window to see if I have overused any in my weekly columns that I am now compiling into a new book.

I refused, at first. I just didn’t think as an expe-rienced writer, I would have fallen into such lazy habits. But I made a bet with her that our little

experiment would actually demonstrate I was pretty good at avoiding needless repetition. But she was very confident I would lose the wager.

Heidi emailed me a list of words and expressions to check at my first opportunity. She reminded me I begin a lot of sentences with the word “but,” even though it is grammatically permissible. But, she cautioned, I shouldn’t overuse it.

Here were the results: In just the last 75 columns, I had used the word “very” 189 times. Also:

Pretty/ 187 timesJust/ 134 timesEven/ 156 timesActually/ 109 timesI think/ 78 timesI started scores of sentences with the word

“but.” Almost a hundred times, actually. When I saw the final results, I think I was pretty much in denial, so I even went back and re-read a few of my favorite essays because I was very sure this was just some kind of computer glitch. I discov-ered the program was actually pretty accurate.

This word repetition problem is something I was unaware of. That’s why I went over this column one extra time. I just want to please my readers. That’s actually very important to me.

But I just think you pretty much already know that.

You have my word on it
