It is our position that we all should be concerned about becoming desensitized by the frequent news of sexual indiscretions by elected officials. The most recent scandal, in what seems like a never-ending list, involved Indiana State Rep. Phillip Hinkle (R-District 92). The response from the left was, “Big deal, it’s just another religious right, anti-gay hypocrite.” Others rolled their eyes in disgust and exclaimed, “What else is new?” It is dumbfounding that these elected officials keep making the same mistakes. Regardless of sexual orientation, personal proclivities, or other demons, when is it ever a good idea to solicit a teenager to join one in a downtown hotel room?

Is it appropriate for newspapers to run these kinds of stories? Abso-lutely. While it is a private issue for his family, it becomes a public issue because he sought to be a public figure. Determination of crime is left to a trier of fact, but reporting a well-founded accusation is right. Was it bet-ter when we didn’t know about every indiscretion via the media? As the saying goes, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you.” Voters make choices based on promises and trust.

Political proclivities State Fair victim fundIt is our position that as Hoosiers, we should

all do what we can to help support those that tragically lost friends or family more were injured in the state collapse at the Sugarland concert at the Indiana State Fair on Aug.13. We are fortunate to have organizations such as the Central Indiana Community Foundation, who stepped up to the plate and have created a fund to that will help the families of those who killed and injured by the state collapse.

The CICF has set up three options for payment. One way is to pay is by check. If you decide to go this route, please make checks payable to Central Indiana Community Foundation and in the memo line, write “Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund.” Send all checks to: CICF, ATTN: Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund, 615 N. Alabama St., Indianapolis, IN 46204. Those wishing to donate online can go to the CICF website (www.cicf.org) and click on the State Fair Fund banner. Finally, there is the option to donate via text message. By texting “Fair” to 27722 and confirming the payment, you will make a $10 contribution to the fund.

To all those who participated in the Fancy Feast on Sunday at Eddie’s Corner Café in Noblesville, please take a bow! In a benefit for the Humane Society for Ham-ilton County, patrons dropped $20 each to participate in one of three seatings to munch on, among other offerings, spaghetti and lasagna. Every cent that was collected was to go to the Humane Society, which, as we’ve pointed out countless times, is horrifi-cally underfunded to care for a frightening number of abused, abandoned or otherwise homeless animals. Please join us in saluting the eatery and the celebrity wait staff, which included Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen, Carmel councilwoman Luci Snyder, Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness, West-field councilman Steve Orusa and various members of the media, among others. The need doesn’t stop with Sunday’s feast. The Humane Society is trying to raise $24,000 by the end of the day tomorrow. Its board of directors, along with a small group of do-nors, has vowed to match, dollar for dollar, up to $12,000. Please, put down the paper for a moment and call the Humane Society at 773.4974 or e-mail them at [email protected]. Thanks to everyone for doing his or her part!

Over these many years of my life, the mes-sage to hate the sin and not the sinner has been packed into my way of thinking. Religious, political, education and other leaders admonish us to turn our atten-tion to the bad behavior and not to the person perpetrating it. It seems to make sense, but one wonders if a portion of the desire to deflect comes from those figures seeming disproportional propensity to transgress. Without doubt, we are all capable of bad and inappropriate behavior. And of course, alcohol abuse, marital infidelity, greed and any array of other misbehaviors are by themselves reprehensible as a state of being. Yet, isn’t blaming the action akin to excusing the actor? Also like a magnet to our moral compass, does this mindset skew our perspective to the point that we can lose our own ethical way?

As much as I’d like to wish it not so, my own personal story is not without error. And, little would comfort me more than being excused

accountability for these actions. Nonetheless, I fear taking the reassuring pass that my own tra-vails are somehow overwhelmed by the fact that there exist some widely accepted causality upon which to pin the culpability could only lead to

more bad action on my part. Shouldn’t I, like we all, be held to account for my failings especially if I did little to prevent their flourishing? If a recover-ing alcoholic is likely to drink, shouldn’t she stay away from taverns and drunks? If a married man is prone to chase women, shouldn’t he avoid circumstance that

would allow for that weakness? And if not, at what degree do we point to addiction and lust rather than urging the individual to stand and account for the role they might be taking in our own failings?

Hate the sinner?

Cell phone bluesCOMMEntaRYBy Danielle Wilson

I happened to leave my cell phone at my in-laws the other morning, and by evening I’d had three different people pull me aside to “discuss” my need for an upgrade. The funny thing is I had purchased a new phone just three weeks prior, af-ter losing my old one in a Colorado hotel lobby. I spent a whole dollar to replace my beloved, but admittedly boring, Samsung with a brand new flip. Sure, it has no photo or Internet capability, and every text message I receive costs $3, but who cares? Despite my husband’s recommendation, I simply do NOT want a smartphone.

So let me defend my decision by addressing each of my loved ones’ “concerns.” First up, Doo’s uncle: who claims any intelligent woman like myself, and especially one married to an IT geek, should sport an iPhone or an R2D2 or a Blueberry. “Danielle, you can have your calendar, address book, Internet and email with you wherever you go. Why wouldn’t you want that?” All of those items are nicely organized at my desk at home and that’s where they’re gonna stay. I don’t make nearly enough money to be “working” 24/7, and if I couldn’t ever escape the logistical and professional sides of my life, I’d quite literally implode.

My sister-in-law also expressed disappoint-ment in my phone choice. She feels I need a full keyboard with an unlimited data plan so I

can text on a regular basis. “Danielle, you hate talking on the phone. Texting was invented for non-socialites like you!” (That anti-social bit was implied; she’d never call me a loser to my face. LOL). But I absolutely cannot tolerate people in a social or professional setting who are con-stantly checking and responding to their text messages. OMG! Just because they are commu-nicating silently doesn’t mean they aren’t being rude. I refuse to get sucked in to that world, where everything revolves around acronyms and phonetically spelled words. TMI, u no?

Finally, my children. Apparently I embar-rass them with my “throwback communication device.” What-evs. I’m their mom; that’s my job. Dad gets to look cool and I get to make them uncomfortable around their friends. It’s win-win.

In all seriousness though, I really like just having a plain ol’ cell phone. It’s cheap, makes calls in emergency situations, and I can lend it to my kids without fear of losing a $200 piece of technology. What’s so wrong with that? So stop judging me, Wilsons and Hoosiers and America! I love my basic flip! Peace out.

Street Commissioner Len Finchum retired from the city of Noblesville on Aug. 22. Finchum began work-ing for the city’s Wastewater Utility in 1989 and later transferred to the Street Department. He was named the city’s Street Commissioner in 1995.

“We wish Len well in his retirement and thank him for his service to the citizens of No-blesville,” said Mayor John Ditslear. “We’re glad he will be able to travel and visit his family more

often. His leadership and hard work have been greatly appreciated.”

During Finchum’s tenure, he over-saw the design and construction of the Street Department’s new facility on Pleasant Street as well as a new salt barn on the city’s west side. Also, it was due to his efforts that the Veterans Memo-

rial in Riverside Cemetery was built and dedi-cated in 2008.

Assistant Street Commissioner Patty Johnson has taken over for Finchum. She has been with the city since 1991.

The Rotary Club of Noblesville will host a breakfast and public forum that will focus, primarily, on the economic issues facing the United States at 8 a.m. Thursday in the Fellowship Hall of First Presbyterian Church, 12th and Conner streets. The main speaker at the discussion will be U.S. Repre-sentative Dan Burton of Indiana’s Fifth District.

Rotary Club President David Willis said the

forum will be an educational event, not a campaign stop, and helps to continue the club’s goal of being a service to the community.

The public is invited to the discus-sion on economic problems such as governmental spending, Social Security, the debt ceiling, and unemployment.

Because of seating limitations, reservations are required and can be made by calling 877-2400. Cost to attend the breakfast is $5.

“We’re really hoping for a good crowd.” Those words were spoken by Ron Wilson shortly before the com-mencement of the “Honor-Re-member-Respect” Rededication of the Hamilton County War Memorial. Wilson, chairman of the Hamilton County Veterans Organization, may have been

referring to the size of the crowd, yet no one could argue that there was a great and sincere heart of the crowd that attended the ceremony on Aug. 20.

Although the ceremony was originally slated to take place on the courthouse lawn, a ruptured gas line forced the relocation to the west side of the Hamilton County Judicial Center. The change in location proved to be a major benefit.

“This was really a great idea, to have the added space for the displays and the mili-tary vehicles. There wouldn’t have been room otherwise,” Wilson chuckled.

Indeed, several vintage military vehicles were on display, as well as other military antiques and memorabilia.

One of the largest displays belonged to Jerry Lindquist, owner and curator of the traveling museum known as the Master Modeler Display. The museum features military items such as weapons and uniforms from as early as World War I.

“I have memorabilia from World War I all the way through Iraq,” said Lindquist who was dressed in a World War II combat uniform to honor the 29th Army Division, the first to land on Omaha Beach. “All the memorabilia has been donated and I built all the models myself.”

However, the day belonged to the veterans of Hamilton County. It was a time to honor the contributions of those who have and continue to serve their country. Perhaps the most moving tribute of the afternoon came when State Sen. Mike Delph invited the veterans of Vietnam to come to the podium. After thanking the veterans, Delph asked the crowd to come to the podium to thank them as well.

Tears from veterans and the crowd flowed freely and openly as the veterans received hand-shakes and hugs of gratitude that were, in the words of Delph, “long overdue.”

COMMEntaRYBy Brenda alexander

Have you ever found it difficult to delete a voice message from your child? Some of the most endearing conversations I’ve had with my daughter have been non-contiguous. She leaves me a message, I respond with a message and the cycle continues.

She’s just so darn charming on the phone. A condition that isn’t always true in person – at least not with her mother. She only calls if something really important has happened. One example, “Mom. Uh, this is Rachel… your daughter. Um, Jared is bleeding. A lot. But it’s ok, it’s ok. Don’t worry. I made him stuff a washcloth in his mouth. Well… you may want to call me back, ok?”

Noting that 10 minutes have elapsed from the time she left this message, I frantically call her back, but I get the voicemail machine. “Ra-chel – why is Jared bleeding? I just left the den-tist and I’ll be home in 12 minutes. Just apply pressure. If it’s bad, run to the neighbors.”

The next message from her – still a mystery why I missed the call as I’m holding the phone in my hand – is breezy, “Oh, mom. It’s me. Rachel, your daughter, I forgot to tell you. Jared lost his tooth. But there’s a lot of blood and he’s

kind of freaked out. I gave him a Milk Dud and it just popped out. It’s really gross. Bye.”

So I walk in the door and there is, indeed, a mess in the bathroom. But the bleeding has stopped and Jared is proudly displaying the gooey Milk Dud encrusted molar, sure to be rejected by any self-respecting Tooth Fairy.

So, what do I do with these voice messages? They not only convey information, but capture the moment, the tempo and the very cadence of my children’s lives. No scrapbook could ever measure up. I may be slightly biased, but I’m quite certain these audio clips will become trea-sure troves that give some future historian goose bumps when my daughter is Surgeon General and my son cures tooth decay. I owe it to pos-terity to save these priceless insights into their youth.

But I’m technologically-impaired and I don’t have a clue how to transfer these messages to my computer. In less than 14 days, they will self-destruct. Oh, the humanity!

Life happens, just listen to my voicemails

With an emotional and sincere “thank you,” Suzanne Snelling accepted the 2011 Noblesville Chamber of Commerce Pinnacle Award on behalf of her late husband, Dale Snelling, Wednesday at Harbour Trees Clubhouse. The award is annually given out to residents who stand out for their above and beyond efforts to give back and be active in the Noblesville community.

“It’s an honor to accept this for Dale,” Suzanne said of receiving the award.

Snelling passed away July 18 at the age of 85. He was deeply in-volved in the community and served on the Noblesville Common Council from 1992 to 2011 and Noblesville School Board from 1968 to 1984. He was also the co-founder of the Noblesville Elementary Football League and a Noblesville Boys & Girls Club board

member.Noblesville Chamber

of Commerce Chair Jerry Barr said this year drew a high number of nomina-tions but Snelling’s long-time contributions set him apart. “Dale Snelling is one of those persons who got involved with some oth-ers to promote football at the elementary schools in Noblesville,” he said. “He was very much involved with the school board, common council and other youth organizations. He contributed an awful lot. We hoped that Dale would be with us to accept the award.”

The Pinnacle Award was first awarded in 2005 to former Hamilton County Sheriff Doug Carter for his series of forums to warn teenagers on the dangers of driving and poor decision making. Previous winners include Chuck Crow, Nancy Chase, Dave and Jackie Cox, Don Jellison and Mary Sue Rowland.

What started as an idea, a pattern and light green and white floral fabric ended with a big smile and purple ribbon at the Indiana State Fair this summer.

Noblesville teenager Hannah Self was named champion for her “Dress Up Wear” outfit at the State Fair Fashion Revue. After being awarded the Grand Champion Sr. Fashion Review at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair in July, Self ’s dress then was named the best of the best as she beat out county winners from across the state.

“I was very excited and shocked. I wanted to make every mo-ment count because something like that may never happen again,” she said. “It’s amazing to see all the outfits they had put together. It was shocking because there are so many good ones at the fair. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. I can say I made that and I modeled it.”

4-H’ers involved in the Fashion Revue construct and model their garments.

“It’s how you model it and how it looks on you,” said Self. “It’s fun to show off what you’ve made over the year.”

The Fashion Revue consists of six categories: dress up wear, in-formal/casual wear, free choice, suit or coat, separates, and formal wear. Self described dress up wear as “something you can wear dur-ing the daytime but not at school.”

In her first year in the senior (high school) division, Self said she wanted to create something nice to wear.

“I looked for patterns and fabric that would stand out. I wanted to do something floral,” she said.

Self, a freshman at Hamilton Southeastern High School, began the 4-H sewing project six years ago with the help of her mother, Leah Ann.

“My mom was in 4-H when she was younger. She wanted to pass her knowledge on to me. I love it,” Hannah explained. “She helps me a lot.”

As Hannah has gotten older, Leah Ann said she has become more independent in accomplishing an outfit from start to finish.

“Learning to sew takes perseverance and a desire to improve which Hannah has done a great job in working toward because as with many things it isn’t always fun when you make a mistake,” she said. “As she has got-ten older it has become more fun for me to see her improvement and watch how she has matured in handling different situations and problems that come up.”

Leah Ann said her mom and 4-H lead-ers helped and encouraged her and she had hoped that Hannah would enjoy sewing and be able to learn a skill she could use through-out her life.

“She really likes the feeling of accomplish-ment when she has finished a project and she REALLY likes to go shopping for shoes and accessories that complete an outfit for Fash-ion Revue!,” said Leah Ann. “Next year, her younger sister is old enough to be in 4-H so

I know I will be able to count on Hannah to help teach her what she has learned.”

Using and sharing her sewing knowledge is something Hannah said will help her out later in life.

“I can make my own clothes so that will help and is good to know,” she said. “It can help in saving (mending) clothes and helping others.”

At the county 4-H level, Self is involved in the sewing, sheep, basic craft, 4-H memories and Jr. Leaders projects.

“My summers are definitely busy. It’s been great meeting new people and learning new things and life experiences,” she said. “I’ve learned not to procrastinate and how hard work pays off. You’re going to learn some-thing new every year.”

“We are very fortunate in Hamilton County to have such a strong and supportive 4-H program. There are so many volunteers that give of themselves so that our young people can learn and grow by doing things that interest them,” added Leah Ann. “Han-nah is just one example of the many talented youth we have in our county and it is signifi-cant that they have opportunities to partici-pate in programs like 4-H.”

As the Fashion Revue winner, Self was also named an achievement trip winner. A group of approximately 40 4-H’ers will travel to Washington, D.C. at the end of September.

“I’m really excited to go on it with other 4-H members from the state and make new friends,” she said. “I’ve never been to D.C. and I want to see it all. I can’t wait to go see everything.”

The Noblesville Parks and Recreation De-partment and city of Noblesville kicked off its three-part movie series with Adam Sandler’s “Grown Ups” at Forest Park’s Shelter 1 on Aug. 20.

Upcoming movies include “Ironman 2” at

Dillon Park on Sept. 10 and “The Goonies” in Downtown Noblesville on Oct. 7. All movies are free and begin at dusk. Organizers said the movies will start as the sun sets so attendees are encouraged to arrive prior to dusk. Lawn chairs, blankets and picnics are welcomed.


Movie series begins with ‘Grown Ups’


Residents can come to downtown Noblesville to view a different side of the historic square during Noblesville Main Street’s “Upstairs Downtown” First Friday event. From 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, “Upstairs Down-town” allows the public an inside peek at what is hidden above and inside some of Noblesville’s historic buildings.

NMS Executive Director Joe Ar-rowood said this year’s tour will include 10 locations – a few new and a few classic spots. A handout with information and history of each stop will be available to the public.

“There are new areas, especially a couple of upstairs apartments, that will be on the tour,” he said. “These are unique places we haven’t had.”

Arrowood said the “Upstairs Downtown Tour” is one of the more popular First Friday events each year.

“When they go on the tours they come back with amazement to the things that actually go on upstairs in downtown,” he said. “The public gets to see what is there. They get a quick tour of the facility, history of the building and what old businesses were located there and a great view.”

While high school football is now underway, Arrowood does not antici-pate a change in attendance during Millers game nights.

“It doesn’t slow down any,” he said. “We had a capacity crowd at Jazz on the Square during the first home game.”

Following First Friday, The Tides will perform from 7 to 9:30 p.m. as part of the Jazz on the Square series.

“Different folks like different things. The more we have the more opportunities we have to draw people in,” said Arrowood. “We’re lucky and fortunate to have a lot of variety going on the same night. I think it makes it stronger.”

How often have you gone to the nutritional aisle at the local health food or grocery store and found yourself scratching your head in bewilder-ment? How many times have you been assaulted by the latest “juicer” machine that makes tasty treats from all sorts of vegetables and fruits? It is enough to make your head spin almost as fast as the juicer itself.

What does your body really need? Good question. We shall start with the basics. If your digestive system is compromised with poor digestion, reflux, gas and bloating, constipa-tion and/or diarrhea (loose stools), or if you have an inflammatory bowel problem then you have nutritional deficiencies. Sorry, but true. The nutrients from your foods never reach you adequately. In future columns we will address these issues to improve your status.

Your body depends on B complexes to oper-ate your energy systems, neurotransmitters, blood components, rebuild tissues, and stabilize nerve tissue and emotions. They also reduce al-lergic responses and reduce inflammation. They are depleted by stress and high carbohydrate diets. That means whether you eat pasta, or candy bars to the exclusion of other macronutri-ents, you place yourself at risk for problems in the areas mentioned above.

Omegas 3 fats, such as fish, borage, or flax oils

contribute to the structure of your entire body and reduce inflammation, allergy, depression, and assist in maintaining a good cardiovascular system. They DO NOT reduce cholesterols, the first year you are taking fish oils you may see your total cholesterol increase. It is by reducing inflam-mation they reduce cardiovascular illness. Vita-min D continues to show up in study after study that inadequate levels contribute to immune problems, including prostate, breast and colon cancers. Additional findings include chronic infections, tendonitis, depression, poor weight management and increased inflammation.

Specific minerals and vitamins may contribute to many functions in the body. If your diet is a standard american diet, you may be limiting your body’s ability to function normally.

To sum it all up you should focus on the fol-lowing: a multiple vitamin, 1500 mg of DHA/EPA Omega 3, vitamin D of at least 2,000 IU if you live north of the Mason Dixon line, B-complex and at least 500 mg of vitamin C. Of course pills, tablets, liquids, juicers and the like are all ways to take these nutrients. Which is best? More of that to come in later installments.

» Slow aging with lemon juice? – New study: Researchers found that adding lemon juice to meats before heating reduced production of harmful advanced glycation end products, oxi-dizing compounds that age the body. Frying or cooking meat with dry heat (including grilling, broiling, baking and searing) increases AEGs. Theory: Acid in lemon juice helps prevent AEG formation. When cooking meat, marinate it in lemon juice for up to an hour or add smaller amounts depending on the type of meat.

-Bottom Line Health

» Vitamins fight premature labor? – Wom-en who take multivitamins regularly around the time they get pregnant appear to have a lower risk of going into labor prematurely, according to a study of nearly 36,000 preg-nant women asked about their diet, weight and vitamin use, among other things. The new study doesn’t prove that taking multivi-tamins is a good idea for women who plan to get pregnant or already are, researchers warn in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In fact, U.S. health officials advise expect-ant mothers against taking regular vitamins, which might harm the baby.

Bob Hanes realized he had to get creative.Recruiter after recruiter at a job fair in Colorado listened po-

litely to what he had to say, and then thanked him for his time; more than 11,700 other candidates were applying for the same group of 128 jobs at the McMurdo Station in Antarctica as Hanes. Th e average age of the applicants was 35.

Hanes was 72. Today, a resident of Fishers, he is 84.“Th ey were very polite, but I could tell they weren’t interested

in me because I was easily the oldest person in the room,” Hanes said. “So I decided to deluge them with information.”

To the recruiters Hanes felt most optimistic about, he began sending letters once a week. To further distinguish himself, he created a personalized logo which he printed on the front of each packet.

“Th at way, I thought, even if they don’t open the letter, they’ll know who it’s from,” Hanes said.

Hanes’ determination paid off . He was selected for a position in the dining room at the station. More important to Hanes, he got to return for fi ve months to Antarctica – a frozen continent that had captivated his attention after a 10-day cruise to the bot-tom of the world in 1992.

saying yes to adventure“I had a former college roommate who asked me if I’d like to

go somewhere and climb a mountain,” Hanes said. Th e year was 1987, and the then-60-year-old Hanes was re-

cently retired from a Dale Carnegie Training franchise he owned and operated. Th e mountain they selected was Mt. Everest.

“We decided, given our age, we might as well start at the toughest one fi rst,” Hanes said.

Hanes and his former roommate spent 23 days on the trail hiking the 18,000 ft. to the Everest base camp. Beyond that, the journey would have become too prohibitively expensive for the pair. Many climbers who seek the summit spend upwards of $50,000 in the process.

But, Hanes said, the climb whet his appetite for adventure. In the more than two decades since his Everest trip, Hanes has climbed to the ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, traveled Mongolia, seen New

Zealand, Ireland, Greece and Holland, and cruised around the Ant-arctic peninsula aboard an Argentine naval supply ship. It was the latter trip which eventually brought him back to Antarctica.

Fruits of his laborHanes didn’t stay in the dining room at McMurdo Station for

long. Having some experience working at an Indianapolis green-house in his younger days, he was quickly appointed the station’s greenhouse manager. He also drove a shuttle between McMurdo Station and a New Zealand research station located three miles away, and wrote for the station’s newspaper, the “Antarctic Sun.”

“I think I just wanted it more than everyone else,” Hanes said, refl ecting on his unlikely presence at the station. “I did what I had to do to stand out from the crowd.”

Whether the goal is climbing Everest or writing a novel, Hanes said, it all starts with believing in oneself.

“I worked on selling ideas in my professional life,” Hanes said, “so I just turned that around and sold myself.”

For her part, Hanes’ wife Jane seems proud and somewhat be-mused at her husband’s travels.

“I thought he was crazy,” she said, “but I supported him. As for me, I want to shower, be able to brush my teeth and sleep in a bed.”

As a reminder of his time in Antarctica, Hanes decorated his

bathroom with penguins. Every time he sees them, he says, he remembers the fi ve months he spent at McMurdo Station.

“If it hadn’t been for that college roommate, I might never have done any of it,” Hanes said. “Now I’m reaching the age where I am slowing down, and I’m so happy I did it when I did it, because I don’t think I could do it now.”

“Whatever you’re thinking about… do it,” Hanes added. “If you put it off for too many years, you’ll never do it.”

Th e Villas on Morse Lake started out to be a develop-ment to attract starter fami-lies and younger folks in No-blesville by a group of owners outside of Indiana. However, since RPD Catalyst, LLC has purchased the condos the business plans has done a 180 degree turn. Mike Waddick of RPD said the last 10 to 12 units that have been sold have been purchased by people ages 50 and older.

“I think the biggest change is baby boomers are looking to get out of their house and have carefree/maintenance-free living,” he said.

Th e Villas on Morse Lake is the best of two worlds – luxury, carefree living and the exciting but relaxing lifestyle that comes with living lake-side. Waddick said the condos allow more free time to owners.

Located on Morse Reservoir, the Villas off er fi ve acres of manicured landscaping and lighted walkways, docks and a private community boat launch. Inside the building, condos off er wa-terfront or courtyard views, oversized windows, nine-foot tall ceilings, kitchen islands, custom fi nishes and spacious patio balconies. Th e build-ing also off ers residents heated indoor parking

with secure storage units, a clubhouse, fi tness center and pool.

“I think the location and amenities sell them-selves – there is no place in Indy that has these amenities – along with our pricing,” Waddick said.

Waddick said there are seven distinct fl oor plans available to perspective buyers within the 45 built condos. Condominium homes cost be-tween $100,000 and $250,000. Th ose interested in learning more about purchasing a condo should call Aaron Starr at 439-1933.

According to Waddick, future plans include the proposed construction of two more build-ings as RDP is learning that older adults love these condos and the lifestyle they provide.

Th e Villas on Morse Lake is located at 20971 Shoreline Court in Noblesville. For more infor-mation including a detailed fl oor plan and prop-erty details, visit www.villasonmorselake.com.

As the old adage goes “If they can put a man on the moon, then why can’t they,”… you fi ll in the blank. One of those blanks is the mystery of why people cannot lose weight consistently as we age. Unfortunately, our bodies resist weight loss for a number of diff erent reasons; but the core reason is our decreased ability to burn calories past the age of about 35. It’s kind of sad when you think about it; no more midnight runs for pizza or fast food without any conse-quences like in our teens and 20s.

Th e weight loss industry makes billions of dol-lars per year mainly on those people who lose 20 pounds then gain it all back plus some; then people sign back up and the cycle continues. Th e other part of the pie is made on get rich quick schemes with fad diets and supplements that promise to magically shed the weight off with no side eff ects. Th e fact is as Americans we keep getting heavier, year after year. So what can be done to change this? Th e only recommendations that have stayed con-sistent are diet and exercise. Bottom line has always been you need to burn more calories than you take in, but what about those people who are cutting calories and are at the gym four days per week, and the fi nal 10 to 20 pounds of weight loss is not hap-

pening? Th ese are the same people who still have more fl ab on their frame than they would like; i.e. they have lost weight but everything still jiggles when they run.

I consult with patients that fall into these categories every day. Often if diet and exercise are properly being followed then the answer is a person’s biochemistry is not functioning cor-rectly. One of main culprits is a stress hormone called cortisol; (assuming your thyroid is func-tioning normally). When cortisol is elevated or depressed your body will either store more fat or not burn fat respectively. So despite perform-ing an hour of cardio per day and sweating like crazy your eff orts will not be rewarded as long as these levels are off . Now for the good news, testing your cortisol levels can be done simply with saliva, and can be corrected in a vast num-ber of patients; along with some minor lifestyle changes. Our offi ce off ers this testing, so if you are resonating with what is being discussed in this article, then help is just a phone call away.

We’ve heard it from our doctors, from the media, maybe even from overzealous friends and relatives, but there’s got to be a better way. “Exer-cise” is right up there with “tofu” when it comes to making us shake our heads and tune out. For a multitude of reasons, the older we get the more we rationalize moving less, and the less we move the less energy, strength and balance we have to move without consequences. Weakness, lack of energy and limited mobility are not inevitable as we age, but it’s a short trip from choosing to sit all the time to having to sit all the time. Th is is not new news. Hippocrates told us back in the 3rd Century BC that without movement the body will deteriorate, so why do we continue to cover our ears sing-ing “la-la-la I can’t hear you” when it comes to exercise?

Here’s a thought: forget exercise. Forget the whole boring, sweaty, painful, exhausting, time-consuming, expensive, too-many-people-in-lycra experience. Just move. Living things are meant to move, and slow, natural, deliberate movement is possible regardless of age, time, income or ability.

While you’re sitting and reading this you can ease in (no need to jump) with both feet. Kick off your shoes, sit up straight, feet fl at on the fl oor. Now slowly lift your heels and try to go all

the way up on your toes, then lower your heels slowly. Do that a few times, then alternate right and left, still moving very slowly. Now pump a little faster for eight counts. Lift one foot just off the fl oor and circle your ankle very slowly (pretend you have a piece of chalk between your toes and you are trying to draw a circle). Reverse the circle. Now do the same thing with the other foot. Th at little bit of movement builds strength and fl exibility in the feet and ankles, and that helps with stability and balance. Side eff ects include improved circulation and build-ing stronger bones.

So just move. Move all your pieces and parts that you can, and since everything is connected you might just strengthen some of those pieces and parts that “ain’t what they used to be”. Start slowly and don’t push beyond your current limi-tations – your limitations will change because the more you move the more you can move.

If only we could put it in a magic pill – but that it would probably be expensive and have a long list of side eff ects. Just cut to the chase and start moving.

COMMEntaRYBy Dr. Jugnoo Husain

An overweight 57-year-old gourmand has a job that frequently involves wining and dining clients. One night, after a hearty meal of steak and beer, he wakes up in agony with a red, swollen big toe. Th e toe is so painful, he cannot stand up or even tolerate a sheet over it.

Such is a hypothetical, but typical, presenta-tion of gout, a form of infl ammatory arthritis caused by excess uric acid in the blood (hyper-uricemia). Uric acid is a byproduct of purine breakdown, and is excreted by the kidneys in urine. Purines occur naturally in human tissue and are also found in many foods. Hyperurice-mia results when the body produces too much uric acid, the kidneys excrete too little, or there is overconsumption of purine-rich food. Th e ex-cess uric acid can crystallize and deposit around joints and soft tissues, causing excruciating pain and infl ammation.

Gout, fi rst described by the Egyptians around 2600 B.C., has been colorfully known as “dis-ease of kings,” as only wealthy people could aff ord to eat rich food regularly. (Famous gout suff erers include King Henry VIII, Leonardo da Vinci, and Benjamin Franklin.) While this assumption is oversimplifi ed, lifestyle factors do infl uence a person’s risk of developing gout. In fact, gout prevalence is increasing as our society gets older and heavier. Some risk factors include

family history, obesity, hypertension, high cho-lesterol, kidney disease, certain medications, excessive alcohol intake, and overconsumption of purine-rich foods such as organ meats, sar-dines, anchovies, red meat and gravies.

Gout predominantly aff ects older men; wom-en are usually spared until after menopause. Th e disease is characterized by sudden onset of intense pain in a single joint, usually the big toe; however, it can also involve the wrist, knee, or ankle. An acute attack usually lasts between seven to 10 days. Episodic fl are-ups typically recur at the site of the initial attack, and may be followed by long asymptomatic periods. With-out treatment, complications may arise, leading to kidney stones, cardiovascular disease, and/or joint deformities.

Th e diagnosis is established by microscopi-cally examining fl uid from the aff ected area and fi nding needle-shaped uric acid crystals. Although not curable, gout can be controlled by taking medications to reduce infl ammation and lower uric acid levels, limiting alcohol consump-tion, increasing fl uid intake, and following a low-purine diet.

Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development, Inc. has recently made two ma-jor changes: naming Stephanie Burdick as executive director and moving into a new offi ce on the ground fl oor of Th e Roper Lofts apart-ment building, 347 S. Eighth St. in Noblesville.

Burdick, who had been serving as HAND’s program manager since August 2009 and succeeds Sage Hales, plans to continue the non-profi t’s mission to create and promote af-fordable, quality housing and educate the com-munity on housing needs in her new role.

“I’m really excited about the opportunity and excited to continue the work we’ve been doing,” she said. “I want to expand the geographical area when we have projects in Hamilton County – to branch out to new communities.”

Burdick is a member of the American Insti-tute of Certifi ed Planners and has worked in the community development fi eld since 2007. In addition to serving as project manager for the Roper Lofts rehabilitation project, Burdick also oversaw the 2009-2010 initiative that enabled 15 moderate income families to purchase fore-closed homes in Hamilton County.

“Stephanie has been integral to advancing HAND’s mission thus far and will continue to do so in her capacity as executive director,”

HAND Board President Gail Rothrock said. Burdick served as project manager on Th e

Roper Lofts project, in which HAND res-cued and rehabilitated two historic downtown Noblesville buildings to create eight aff ordable apartments and two commercial offi ces.

“Our new offi ce increases visibility. Its loca-tion in Noblesville helps us in getting our name out in the community,” Burdick said.

HAND addresses the housing needs of low – and – moderate income individuals, families, and seniors through the development of rental properties and assisting residents in obtain-ing homeownership. Burdick said the need for housing assistance is “quite large” in Hamilton County with those looking to downsize, move here to live closer to their kids and grandchil-dren, and others who want to live closer to their jobs to avoid large transportation costs.

“Th ose with fi xed income or small pensions don’t have the ability to pay a large mortgage or rent,” she said. “One of the great things about Hamilton County is that it is a great county to live in. We want to help people live here no matter what their income is.”

On the horizon for HAND is the develop-ment of a phase two at Spicewood Garden Apartments in Sheridan.

HAND will host an open house from 4 to 7 p.m. tomorrow. For more information about HAND, visit www.handincorporated.org.

COMMEntaRYBy andy Warren

Question from Kelly S. from Carmel: I’m trying to come up with a plan for my family if we are involved in a home fire. I don’t know where to start. Got any advice?

Response from Andy Warren: You’re a step ahead of a lot of people. Advanced planning is one of the most important factors in protecting your family from fire. Home fires injure over 13,000 people a year and kill nearly 3,000. The people most at risk are those over age 65 and children preschool age and younger.

The first thing you need to worry about when it comes to protecting your family is smoke alarms. Every home should have at least one smoke alarm. Most codes now require a smoke alarm on every floor of the home. Test the batteries on your smoke alarms monthly and replace the alarm every ten years. Make sure new alarms are installed according to the manu-facturer’s directions.

Once smoke alarms are placed and working, an escape plan must be created. Make sure ev-eryone in your family understands what to do when the smoke alarm goes off. Practice your escape plan in the dark so that you all know what to expect and how to navigate the home without electricity. Here are some things to keep in mind when coming up with your plan:

• Know two ways out of each room. Have an escape ladder for any bedrooms above the ground floor. Make sure children are fa-miliar with opening the windows.

• Feel the door for heat before opening it. If the door is not hot, open it slowly and take your nor-mal escape route. If the door is hot, take your backup route.

• Crawl if there is smoke. Most fire

victims succumb to smoke and toxic gases. Stay below the smoke by crawling.

• Have an arranged meeting place outside the house. Make sure everyone knows it.

• DON’T GO BACK INSIDE. Let the fire department handle it from here.

Lastly, insurance. Your independent insurance agent is going to be there to help you rebuild your life after a terrible loss, like a fire. It is important to make sure your insurance limits are adequate and up-to-date. Insurance policies are concerned with what the cost of rebuilding your home (not to be confused with the market value). Be sure to review your policy with your agent annually.

Your contents (furniture, clothes, etc) value is usually set at half of the rebuilding cost. Some-times this limit can be inadequate and needs to be increased. Your independent insurance agent can provide a simple home inventory form to help figure out if you need to increase your limit. For more information on fire prevention, visit usfa.dhs.gov or call your independent in-surance agent.

Planning protects families

» Home sales increase – The monthly Indi-ana Real Estate Markets Report released last week by the Indiana Association of Realtors for July 2011 signaled progress. Statewide, when comparing July 2011 to July 2010: 1. The number of closed sales increased 23.9 percent to 5,569. 2. The median sale price of homes increased 4.3 percent to $120,000. 3. The number of pending sales increased 11.3 percent to 5,183.

» Choose CDs over treasuries? – Nervous investors generally flock to treasuries, and the current flight to safety has pushed treasury yields to all-time highs. But some experts, like Greg McBride, senior finan-cial analyst at Bankrate.com, recommend longer-term certificates of deposits. “The top-yielding CDs beat treasuries of the same

maturity hands-down,” McBride says. In fact, many five-year CDs offer higher yields than even 10-year treasuries. For example, a five-year CD from Ally Bank currently yields 2.2 percent while a five-year treasury bond of-fers a yield of less than 1 percent.

Restaurant.com offers discount gift certificates to eateries in dozens of cities, usu-ally at half off face value. Plan your dining well, and your $150 bonus could double to $300.

» Measures of prosperity don’t work? – Economists rely on many measures to gauge the health of countries, but many may not be the accurate yardsticks they purport to be. For example, tracking the growth of gross domestic product doesn’t necessarily indicate whether a country is healthy or not, especially since major economic crises often occur on the heels of periods of rapid growth. Sam Thompson, senior researcher at the New Economics Foundation think tank in London, says GDP doesn’t give the full picture. For example, he says, a bloated and inefficient health care system and could be behind some growth. Same goes for unemployment measures, which don’t include discour-aged workers who have stopped looking for work. -www.smartmoney.com

lanDSCaPIngBy Mark Skipper

There is nothing like the light and warmth of an amazing fire feature on a cool evening. Whether just creating an atmosphere or a gath-ering place for making smores, a fire feature is essential. Having the creativity and imagination to design a fire pit for any situation is a talent that only a few landscapers possess.

While water has been an indispensable com-ponent in the landscape for a number of years, fire features have only recently become a back-yard must-have. The addition of the fire element is one of the hottest trends we’re seeing in out-door design. Fire takes you away from wherever you are. It relaxes and soothes. When you’re gazing into a fire, you simply can’t be in a hurry.

On a practical level, fire does much more. Because it provides warmth and light, the addi-tion of fire in the landscape extends the use of the yard into the night and into the cooler sea-sons of the year. Fire features allow homeowners to get much more use out of the outdoor spaces they love.

In recent years, fire features have been evolv-ing in exciting new ways. It used to be that people only did simple fire pits; these were small features that mimicked a pile of rocks with a little flame in the middle. Now the trend not

only includes much larger firepits but also for-mal outdoor fireplaces crafted from fine materi-als like stone, cast limestone and wall blocks.

Ironically, fire features often spark trouble between men and women during the planning stages of garden design. When women think about fire in the landscape, they often think ‘fireplace’ and see themselves sitting in the cozy flickering light with a nice glass of wine, hold-ing hands with their loved one or reading a good book. Men on the other hand think ‘fire pit’ and see themselves gathered around with their buddies drinking beer or scotch while the kids roast marshmallows. With careful design, homeowners can enjoy a fire feature that kindles romance one night and ignites spirited camara-derie the next.

If you’re going to have fire, do it right. Install a generous number of gas rings to create the ef-fect you want. That way, you’ll be able to adjust the flame from mild to wild to suit the mood of the evening.

Add sizzle with fire in the landscaping

REMODElIngBy David Decker

Should I make a list? Or make a call?The overwhelming blizzard of details in even

a relatively straightforward kitchen or bathroom improvement project can be daunting. If you don’t mind the pun, put a real freeze on getting started.

Instead of suffering from paralysis by analysis, do both: make a list, and make a call. It can transform a custom home improvement project from just a dream to “just do it.” Making a list on paper gets your mind going. Write a list of needs, and also a list of wants. You’ll likely move some things back and forth, which will help you prioritize and keep track of all your ideas.

Making a call to a home improvement profes-sional puts your ideas in motion.

That isn’t a sales pitch, it’s sound advice. Here’s why: You have ideas, but a project needs a process and that’s what the professional brings to the very first meeting. You need to know where to start or what to do next; that’s the rea-son you make a call.

The professional will look at your lists, listen to your ideas, inspect the area you want to im-prove and help you start to formulate a plan for going forward. There are so many things to do, like determining design, function, styles, price, scheduling and more.The professional will begin stripping away the mystery, show you the pro-cess and get the project underway.

This is also the time when you begin to dis-

cover your comfort zone with this company or that company. By making more than one call, you’ll receive varying perspectives from knowledgeable professionals. It’s fun to see the possibilities of your project begin to take shape in real terms, and sense that an overwhelming blizzard of details and decisions has become a manageable process.

Overwhelmed and under-informed? Or un-derway and overjoyed?

Make a list, and make a call.

From overwhelmed to overjoyed
