Zionsville’s Tommy Richardson is still going strong – literally.

Richardson, 75 years young, won the 2012 world championship in the strict curl event at the Single Event 100% Raw Powerlifting Championships in Las Vegas in late October. Competitors at the100% Raw Powerlifting Championships must use their pure strength to complete their lifts and are not able to rely on the use of any special support equipment, like a supportive lifting shirt, briefs or suit, to complete the lift.

“No momentum from the legs and hips can be used in any way to complete the lift,” said Richardson. “So, the lift relies solely on the strength from your bicep and shoulder muscles.”

This year’s visit marked Richardson’s first turn competing in the annual competition, and the strict curl was his only event. More than 250 lifters from 11 countries and 35 states competed, ranging from beginner to master-level competitors, from the age of 8 years old to 79 years old.

Richardson has been weight lifting throughout his 32 years as a football

coach, the past 13 years of which as the defensive line coach at Zionsville High School. However, he only began partici-pating in local, state and regional weight lifting competitions after his retirement from insurance sales 10 years ago.

Since then, he has held weight lifting records in Indiana for the bench press and deadlift in his age bracket.

“My motto is there’s no finish line,” Richardson said. “You have to continu-ally raise the bar and challenge yourself. All too often, people quit whatever they’re doing too soon. They quit growing and stretching themselves. I have a saying: ‘Go as far as you can with all that you’ve got.’ You need to use all the abilities and talents you’ve been given. So, I continue to push and challenge myself regularly.”

Beyond coaching and weightlifting, Richardson is a performance coach with Mind of a Champion, a program which helps high school, college and professional athletes, as well as people in business world, improve their performance levels. He also is the president and founder of Richardson Communication and a partner in Synergy Trainings.

These endeavors allow Richardson to teach people and organizations how to discover and maximize potential.

“There are things within all of us that we can do to compete,” he says. “Just give it your best shot. You don’t have to be a win-ner. The experience itself is the winning process. What you become on the way to the goal is more important than reaching the goal. You’ll know you’ve done your best whether you win a trophy or not.”

Mary Ellen Kirby, a 20-year resident of Zionsville, has a huge heart. It’s one that stretches all the way to the East Coast, where she grew up on Staten Island, N.Y. In an effort to help victims of Hurricane Sandy she launched an “S.O.S. (Support Our Staten Island) Campaign” called, “Zionsville loves Staten Island,” connecting the town of Zionsville with a not-for-profit organization in New York, Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Her motiva-tion was simple and tear-filled as she shared her story “I grew up in Staten Island and, when I saw what was happening, I had to do something. I heard the story of a mother and son who climbed up to their attic and

had to be picked up by a boat.Then there was the mother who couldn’t hold on any-more and her children got washed away. I

didn’t know these people but this was home. I made a decision then that I couldn’t do nothing.”

With just oned passionate woman, this effort began and Zi-onsville residents and businesses responded.

Various restaurants are hold-ing “Zionsville loves Staten Island” benefit nights with a portion of proceeds donated to the cause. Noah Grants jumped in and bought T-shirts for all their employees, and drop boxes to collect toiletries and hygiene items are located at Akard True Value Hardware and Control Tech Heating & Air. This weekend, at Christmas in the

Village, T-shirts will be on sale on Saturday and Sunday at Eagle Creek Coffee Com-pany, which will provide coupons for a free treat with every T-shirt purchase. Also, the Corner Vise Gallery & Frame Shop will be offering free gift wrapping with a donation to the cause.

With this project, which has been ex-tended through December, Kirby hopes to spread awareness of the devastation on Staten Island and provide as much support as possible. “I don’t have a specific goal. Anything we do is more than what we had before. It’s about caring for someone else, not just yourself. You just gotta care.”

To make a donation or for more informa-tion see their Facebook page, Support Our Staten Island, or email [email protected]. Matching company gifts are accepted.

COMMUNITY Around townCommentary by Ward Degler

Several of our United States are talking about seceding from the union. Unfor-tunately, history tells us secession hasn’t worked very well. Except once.

Back in 1982, the U.S. Border Patrol blockaded U.S. 1 at Florida City, the gateway to the Florida Keys. The reason, the government said, was to halt the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants.

To Key West Mayor Dennis Wardlow, however, it was an outrage. Residents of the Keys were being declared non-citizens and were being forced to prove their citizenship to enter the mainland.

What Wardlow did then changed the course of history in the Florida Keys for all time. While on national television, he issued a proclamation of secession from the Union, and declared himself prime minister of the newly founded Conch Republic.

To signify the start of the secession rebellion, he broke a loaf of stale Cuban bread over the head of a man dressed in the U.S. Navy uniform. One minute lat-er, Wardlow surrendered to Union forces and demanded $1 billion in foreign aid.

He didn’t get the foreign aid, but he also got no response whatsoever from the U.S. government to his declaration of secession. Ironically, what that means under international law is that the secession stands. The Conch Republic – which includes all of the Florida Keys – is a legal entity, a nationally recognized republic.

To prove the point, the Conch Republic in Key West issues its own passport, which has long been accepted by 13 Caribbean islands, Germany, Sweden, Mexi-co, France, Spain, Ireland and Russia.

The U.S. 1 blockade was called off shortly after the republic seceded. A 10-day celebration of independence is held every April throughout the republic.

Seceding from the Union – it only worked once

The Arc of Greater Boone County, led by Employment Consultant Amanda Davids, Job Club was created to bridge the gap between Mainstreet Enterprises and community employ-ment. Mainstreet Enterprises is a workforce development program in which tasks and jobs obtained from local businesses are performed at

the work center or on-site, and provide workers the opportunity to obtain work-skill training and earn a wage. Many participants in this pro-gram hope to pursue community employment in the future through the Arc’s Job Connection Program, which helps local companies match job openings with qualified people who have disabilities.

COMMUNITY Opinion

Commenatary by Derek fisher

Two weekends ago, my girlfriend and I trav-eled to Staunton, Va. for her high school class-mate’s wedding. I had been to Virginia only once – I traversed the state’s narrow, western sliver without stopping on a 2005 road trip.

The ceremony was great, the drive was pleasant and Staunton reminded me of a bigger Zionsville. Similarities notwithstanding, I did encounter one striking difference between this place and that one: liquor stores do not sell beer there.

You can imagine my surprise upon learning that fact from a southern gentleman named Warner, who must have noticed my increasing bewilderment during a fruitless search for Bud Light from behind his check-out counter.

“May I help you, sir?” he asked in a pleasant, southern drawl.

“Um, yes, I’m looking for beer,” I replied in a confused haze.

“Liquor stores don’t sell beer in the com-monwealth, sir, but I’d be happy to direct you to somewhere that does.”

“Sorry, I’m from Indiana.”“Do not apologize about that, I have a cousin

who lives in Indiana,” he mustered up with a smile, even though I was looking at him as if he’d just told me he was from Mars.

After he’d given me detailed instructions on where to find beer and how to get there, a

woman waiting in line mentioned there was a Walmart across the parking lot.

Warner immediately lost his post-antebellum merriment.

“I believe Walmart is the spawn of the Devil ma’am,” he retorted in a rising voice, “and I will not send him there!”

The rest of the trip unfolded, but I kept thinking about Warner, Walmart and Zions-ville’s upcoming decision. I’m supposed to remain impartial, but the direction this town should lean is clear.

On its face, Walmart is not bad – it simply boasts a business model so airtight it devours everything in its path, and that Sam Walton and his successors masterminded a flawless machine is no crime.

What is unfortunate is that Walmart is the antithesis of everything the village stands for. Walmart fills a need in some places – where else to shop for NASCAR merchandise without showering? – but it has no place here.

I’m afraid if Walmart comes to Michigan Road, domino No. 1 in the Zionsville-as-Carmel-2.0 plan falls. I think we should listen to Warner on this one. After all, he helped me find beer.

What would Warner do?

Weekend events kick off with special celebration to honor special peopleby julie Osborne - [email protected]

Crowded malls, overwhelming lines, funny looks from strangers, all provide additional strain to burdens that already exist. But, an event this Friday for children and adults with special needs, “Very Important People,” takes the stress away.

“At the VIP Christmas Celebration, they make it easy for us, make it a great time for our fam-ily. It’s hard to get out sometimes and do things and meet other people, but here we meet other kids with special needs and it helps the kids feel ‘normal’,” says Lora Snider, mother of Samantha Riedlinger (7) who struggles with a multitude of physical and emotional limitations as a result of Mitochondrial disease, cerebral palsy, and Agen-esis of the corpus callosum, a rare birth defect where the connector between the two hemispheres of the brain is compromised.

For children like Samantha, this event provides a safe and relaxed atmosphere and is a much-needed break for families who endure additional challenges as caregivers. Since its inception in 2008, the VIP Christmas Celebration has been held at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library and has hosted hundreds of children and adults with special needs, providing crafts, free professional family photos by Janice VanGorder Photography along with a photo with Santa, storytelling, games and more.

This special night had a simple beginning with an idea back in 2008 by Leigh Ann Akard to create memories for children with special needs, similar to the Fall Festival VIP event. She told her children, “This year we’re not giving presents, we’re giving memories,” said Akard, founder and 2012 co-chair, “We’ll just invite our special needs friends and make cookies, have Santa come, and then we can all go outside and sing carols!”

Humble “Stone Soup” beginningsLeigh Ann’s idea took off from there and many

in the communiry jumped in to help. 2012 Co-chair Amy Lacy likens it to the story of Stone Soup where one individual had an idea, one stone, and then the village came together, each adding their own unique ingredient to create a delicious soup. Ingredients for the first “VIP soup” began to pour in from the library, Zionsville Lions Club, Montgomery Aviation, Zionsville Rail Trail Gar-dens, Nana’s Flowers, Country Pumpkins petting zoo, Celestial Designs, Chick-fil-A, Peyton Man-ning Children’s Hospital, and many local families. And, this year, BACA (Behavior Analysis Center for Autism) added milk and cookies to the pot with the soup now simmering and ready to be served up this Friday to over 300 VIP’s and their family members from all over Indiana.

“It’s truly the reason for the season. Here, every-

body celebrates the start of the holidays together,” says Akard. For many families, it’s the only chance for their child to get a picture with Santa and for parents to have a worry-free night in a spirited, fun atmosphere. “I feel blessed they include us in this special day to enjoy ourselves freely, without judgment,” says Snider.

Special challenges for families She and husband,Tom Riedlinger, have expe-

rienced judgment first hand when venturing out in public with daughter, Samantha. Being wheel-chair-bound makes it especially difficult to get around, but her emotional challenges add extra pressure as Samantha can experience random mo-ments of excitment and screaming, often drawing stares from onlookers. Co-chair Amy Lacy experi-enced similar ridicule growing up, “My sister had Tourette Syndrome and people would look at us funny. Here, there’s none of that. Parents don’t have to explain anything. This event gives us a chance to celebrate our differences and gives fami-lies a place to relax and be themselves.”

Getting a break from the daily routine is a gift for the whole family as the demands of children with special needs can be exhausting, physically and emotionally.

“Samantha has daily breathing treatments every 4 hours around the clock and having an open tracheotomy makes it difficult to go out since she

can get sick very easily,” says Snider. Despite their challenges, she remains positive, ”Even though we have a stressful life, I always remind myself that it can be so much worse. Many people have lost their child. Samantha is still with us. We are so blessed and take it day by day.”

It takes a village Living day by day makes the holiday season

especially difficult for VIP families who often have insurmountable medical bills leaving little dispos-able income for holiday shopping. Samantha’s family is grateful not only for this event but the similar VIP Fall Festival event, sponsored by the Lions Club, and also the outpouring of support from the community throughout the year, a com-munity Tom grew up in. From glasses for Saman-tha and brother Dakota (8) to local firefighters showing up at their house with Santa, their family has been overwhelmed with the generosity and love from many local residents and businesses.

Snider sums it up: “Our family is humbled by the response and out pouring of support in the past for Samantha and our family, especially from the Lions and Kiwanas clubs. We are grateful for the oppor-tunity we have been given for Samantha to be in an enviroment that is comfortable and stress free for her and our family. The love and support of the com-munity never ceases to amaze our family and we are proud to be a part of the Zionsville community.”

VIEWS Opinion

It is our position that homegrown busi-nesses are the best. There are few things that exemplify living out the American dream more than being a small business owner. From an employee standpoint, small busi-nesses can provide easier integration of fam-ily life and livelihood and are often more understanding of employee’s personal and professional needs. From a consumer’s point of view, small businesses offer originality, friendliness and a break from mass produc-tion. Unfortunately, the current economic conditions and impending national changes to the cost of providing health care benefits to employees seems to be squeezing the life out of small businesses.

Fortunately, organizations like the Entre-preneurship Advancement Center, whose mission is supporting innovation and entre-preneurial thinking by providing programs for high school students and supporting early stage businesses on the north side of Indianapolis, are making it easier for home-grown businesses to thrive. This year Lollies Candy Shop, a provider of specialty locally-made candies and unique gifts, was named the winner of the third annual Entrepre-neurship Advancement Center’s Commu-nity Business Plan Competition. The shop will be located in downtown Fishers. For more information on the Entrepreneurship Advancement Center, visit www.goentrepre-neurs.org. This holiday season, include small businesses on your shopping list.

Commentary by terry Anker

Most credit newsreel broadcaster, West-brook Van Voorhis, in his series from the early 1930’s, “March of Time,” with first coining the now clichéd expression that “time marches on.” Regardless of attribution, it’s not like the concept is a new one – indeed, time does march on. The most distilled interpretation might argue that while we can chose to stand still, the world waits for no one. Deadlines come and go. People age and opportunities pass. All can and do occur without interaction or intention from any of us.

So the question isn’t really whether we have choices to make, it is more whether or not we chose to make them. And then, isn’t the chal-lenge whether this forced choice is one that we embrace or one that is thrust upon us? For me, it the quandary is summed up thusly: Is the choice something that I have to do or is it something that I want to do. It seems like a minor, perhaps even inconsequential dissimi-

larity, but when approaching the challenge of accomplishing a task doesn’t it make all the difference?

Apply the concept to our daily routine. Is it the issue that one is required to clean their house or is that they seek to have a tidy home? Is the matter that one has to do the required reading or is it that they desire to obtain knowledge? Is it that we have to do the grunt work instead of taking the mar-quee role or is it that we’re eager to get the hard work behind us so that we can move on to higher reward functions. Do we have to practice or do we want to improve our game? Can we ever get to success without inten-tion? Maybe in order to be the best, we have to want it.

We have to want it

It came to our attention last week that a guest column in the Nov. 20 edition of Current in Zionsville incorrectly looped Leigh Ann Akard and Akard True Value into the discussion of a Walmart store on Michigan Road. The column in question, penned by Zionsville resident Bret Brewer, reported Walmart representatives as hav-ing mentioned a partnership with Akard’s store during a Nov. 12 meeting with residents. Further discussions with an understandably upset Akard revealed there is no such partnership, of course, but Brewer, who took copious notes during the meeting, did subsequently confirm a Walmart representative as having said that very thing. Clearly, we are inclined to believe both Akard and Brewer, which begs the question: Why would Walmart make that statement? Our staff will be looking into it. Stay tuned.

• Biliary atresia is a liver disease of the bile ducts that affects only infants. Unfortunately, there is no cure for it.

• Without successful treatment, few children with biliary atresia live beyond age two. In most cases, patients will suffer gradual damage to the liver. These children will need specialized medical care throughout their lives, and many will ultimately need a liver transplant. • Over 115,000 people are currently waiting for an organ transplant. On average, 18 people die every day because they did not receive a needed organ donation. • Please help fight biliary atresia and become an organ donor today.

VIEWS Opinion

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

What do you get when you mix together an attention-deficit disorder husband with a penchant for impulse-buying, a four-pack of pet-deprived children, and a worn-down moi? A dog! A gosh-darn dog.

I swear I don’t know how it happened. I’ve successfully resisted canine ownership now for 16-plus years. (As mentioned previously, I am NOT a pet person, particularly dogs. My first puppy, Muffin, ran away after three days, a golden retriever mauled my younger sister when I was eight, and another sister’s Doberman pincher enjoyed shredding my personal undergarments while I was growing up. Doo suggests counsel-ing.) The lizards bought me some time, and when Santa brought the cat I thought I was home free. But no-ooooo! Adamant opposition on my part could not withstand the brutal erosive forces of my family’s perennial hopes of buying a dog. In my defense, they caught me at a weak moment.

I’ve been leaning toward a puppy for a while but had convinced Doo to wait until the spring. The weather would be more conducive to potty training and, frankly, it was still six months away. Then holiday shopping snagged me with her cold, gnarled hands. My girls are easy . . . clothes, accessories, a chocolate fountain . . . but what to get the boys? All they really want are Xbox games and gift cards to buy Xbox games.

And I refuse to contribute to their “We’ll just live in the basement of our parent’s house ‘til we’re 50” dream.” When I asked if there was anything else . . . anything . . . they both replied with a resounding “A dog!” Well, poo.

Then I remembered how cute it was when the kids awoke on December, 2009 to find an ador-able little kitten under the tree. Maybe I could actually do it! Thus, the crack in the dam. So I casually mention this stupid idea to Doo, and liter-ally the next thing I know, I’m being swept away in a flood of lies and carefully orchestrated plans for obtaining the dog. No joke, less than 24 hours elapsed between my showing Doo an ad for Labra-dor retrievers and said Labrador retriever urinating in my car on the way home from Lizton.

I’ve subjected myself and my house to one year of puppy pee, puppy teething, and in general, good-for-nothing puppy antics. Doggone it! Ah well, I suppose it was inevitable. When you love your family, sometimes you have to make sacri-fices. Besides, they pretty much have to do what-ever I say now because I’m the awesome, albeit pet-traumatized, mom who finally got them a dog. Peace out.

All I want for Christmas

VIEWS HumorBig Good John

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Big John Gillis was as tall as a grizzly bear, but gentle as a teddy bear. The forty-year veteran of Indiana radio, who recently passed away, was an iconic figure. His loyal listeners looked up to him. “I guess being 6’ 4” was a big help,” he once told me.

So ingrained in Indianapolis was the persona of Big John that until his passing, people still thought he spent his mornings in a helicop-ter reporting for harried commuters making their way to work. Truth is, John hadn’t been in a WIBC chopper for almost 20 years. In a bow to the economy, he had transitioned to a fixed-wing plane and then a mobile unit for his reports. He ended his traffic career broadcasting from a studio where even the sound of barking dogs on the street outside did not convince his fans he was really earthbound.

His words were meticulously chosen.Years ago in an interview at his home, after

he left WIBC, John told me, “I have 20 seconds to do what I have to do, read a sponsor’s name, and then if I can figure out a way to twist a word or inject my personality into it, that’s it … I’m a disembodied voice, and every 10 minutes I stop what I am doing and talk to my imagi-nary friends.”

A disembodied voice? Perhaps. But it still embodied everything that was good about radio in those years.

John loved radio. It was his best friend. He wanted to introduce you to his best friend. But “why radio?” I asked him during our visit in 2007. “Because everywhere you travel, it’s there; it takes you places immediately … it exercises your imagination.” If there was any sadness, any remorse in John, it was that media had changed. “We went to high tech and lost the high touch,” he told me. “Radio should be about content, character and personality.”

John should have thrown in loyalty, an ingredi-ent he added to a recipe that brought him a taste of success, and also fulfilled him. There was no doubt, Big John had many opportunities to leave the market and pursue a more lucrative career elsewhere. That was not in John’s flight plan.

“If I have 20 minutes to live and I spend the next 19 with you, having this conversation, I would die happy,” John said to me. “If in that 20 minutes, we come up with an idea and we have 20 years to make it happen, then God has blessed me far beyond my wildest dreams.”

John did not have those 20 years. But if you still hear his halting, yet mesmerizing, voice in your head, look to the heavens. No, he’s not in the helicopter, but he’s up there. Trust me.

Long live TwinkiesCommentary by Mike Redmond

Lots of people are mourning the Hostess Twinkie, but I think reports of its extinction are premature. I’m certain someone already has a plan to license the names and recipes of all those Hostess snack foods. It wouldn’t be the first time this has happened in the snack food industry. Dolly Madison Zinger (made by Host-ess), anyone?

Even if Twinkies did disappear forever, would that be such a bad thing? Brands – even long-standing ones – come and go. If that weren’t the case, we would all be filling up our Studebakers at the DX gas station, then driving to the neigh-borhood Rexall to pick up some Sal Hepatica for Grandma and a Hollywood candy bar to eat on the way home, where we’d find Dad pour-ing himself a glass of Drewry’s beer while Mom mixed up a big pitcher of Funny Face drinks.

I have some fond memories of Twinkies but they don’t involve eating them.

My grandfather loved Twinkies. He used to play cards in the back room of a restaurant in LaGrange where the stakes were candy bars and Hostess cakes. Grandpa being an excellent card player, he always had a big basket of his win-nings on top of the refrigerator, and many a time I saw him split a package of Twinkies with my baby sister.

You’ll notice I was the observer here. He didn’t

like me well enough to share Twinkies with me.And then there was Edwin, a legendary copy

boy at The Indianapolis News. Edwin was de-velopmentally disabled and as such, he valued routine. And so his lunchbox, packed daily by his mother, always contained chicken-and-stars soup, white bread, vanilla wafers and a Hostess Twinkie. Every single day. Every single day, that is, except one.

One day, Edwin’s mom forgot the Twinkie. He was beside himself with worry and anger. He went through every drawer of every desk in the city room looking for his Twinkie. He accused every one of us, in turn, of stealing it. He refused to accept a replacement Twinkie from the vend-ing machine upstairs. It wasn’t until we called his mom and she confessed that she’d forgotten to pack it that day that. I’m pretty sure he went to his grave thinking someone had stolen it.

As I said, I’d be surprised if the Twinkie were well and truly dead. I’m certain it will be resur-rected by the snack food industry. And if not, I still won’t mourn.

I would only do that for Tastykakes.

Local theaters bring home 19 Encore Awardsby Robert Herrington

[email protected]

The annual Encore Awards gala, Indianapolis metropolitan area community theater’s version of Broadway’s Tony Awards, was a very good night for Hamilton County community the-aters as Carmel Community Players took home 15 trophies and The Belfry Theatre in Nobles-ville won four.

“This was a wonderful evening for us,” said CCP president Rich Phipps. “We don’t do our plays to win awards, but recognition like this by our peers is validation that we are our living up to our goal of providing exceptional enter-tainment up close at Clay Terrace.”

“The encore awards is a celebration of com-munity theater,” said CCP Artistic Director Lori Raffel, who received awards for Best Sound Design of a Drama, Best Sound board Operation of a Drama, and Best Light Board Operator of a Drama. “That our peers recog-nized our efforts with so many awards is hum-bling, amazing, and very encouraging.”

“Company,” Stephen Sondheim’s musical about relationships in the 1970s, was a favorite of the judges, winning awards for Best Actress in a Musical (Vickie Phipps), Best Major Sup-porting Actress in a Musical (Brenna Camp-bell), Best Male Singer (Mark Duray) and best Musical Number (Side By Side). The show also won a special judges award for its videotaped simulated TV show used to introduce the show and tell audiences to turn off their cell phones. The award was accepted by Willie Wood who had directed the show and designed its award-winning introduction.

Another big winner for CCP was “Rebecca” which, along with Raffel’s three trophies gar-

nered awards for Best Costume Design of a Drama (Jeff Farley), Best Lighting Design of a Drama (Bryan Fonseca) and Best Major Sup-porting Actor in a Drama (Earl Campbell). Also taking home a trophy was Franklin Col-lege drama professor, Nick Crisafulli, who was awarded Best Cameo in a Drama for “Six De-grees of Separation,” which he also directed.

The Belfry’s awards were split between two shows – “12 Angry Men” and “Hollywood Arms.” The courtroom drama saw Karla Ries and Michael Ries win for Best Set Design of a Drama. Russ Clinton won Best Minor Sup-porting Actor in a Drama. The personal details of Carol Burnett’s upbringing and early career are the basis for “Hollywood Arms,” which garnered Best Minor Supporting Actress in a Drama for Nichel Washington and Best Major Supporting Actress in a Drama for Jennifer

Nicholson.Perhaps the biggest surprise winner of the

night was 12-year-old Cody Fenimore of Sheri-dan who won awards both for Best Performer 18 and Under in a Drama and Best Actor in a Drama for his portrayal of a mentally chal-lenged youth in “The Diviners.”

“You broke the audience’s heart every night,” Director Danny Russel told Fenimore during his emotional acceptance speech after being named Best Director of a Drama for his work in “The Diviners.” “If you are this good at 12, I can’t wait to see you when you’re 18.”

NIGHT & DAY Et cetera

Commentary by Chris lloyd

“Men in Black 3” has an obligatory feel to it, like it was made to provide a few people a career boost and satisfy quarterly profit margins for the studio. Arriving a full decade after the second (horrible) film in the franchise, “MIB3” is rea-sonably entertaining, contains some nice special effects and a few interesting new characters.

Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back as members of the secret govern-ment agency that protects humankind from the knowledge that bug-eyed aliens are living among them in disguise. But when a particular-ly nasty alien criminal named Boris the Animal fiddles with the flow of time, J must travel back to 1969 and team up with Agent K’s younger

self (Josh Brolin) to set things right.The 1960s fashions and vibe are a hoot, and

I liked how director Barry Sonnenfeld and his crew make sure the aliens from back then re-semble products of era-appropriate pop culture.

But there’s very little heart and soul in the MiB’s third outing, making it the perfect home video rental. Pop it in, get a few yuks and thrills, and never think of it again.

Please note, “Men in Black 3” arrives on video Nov. 30. Movie: B-

Stuffed Leg of Lamb with Balsamic-fig-Basil Sauce

Ingredients: 1/2 cup coarsely chopped prunes, 1/4 cup currants, 2 tablespoons creme de cassis liqueur, 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rose-mary, 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1 (4 pound) boneless leg of lamb, rolled and tied, 1/2 cup chopped roasted and salted almonds, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, 3 cloves garlic, cut into thirds, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 5 tablespoons butter, 3 table-spoons honey, 1/3 cup thinly sliced, stemmed Calimyrna figs, 5 teaspoons chopped fresh basil, 6 leaves mint, 6 leaves basilDirections: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the chopped prunes and currants with the creme de cassis in a small bowl, and set aside. In another small bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, coriander, salt, and pepper; set aside. Un-tie and unroll the lamb, lay it out flat on the work surface. Trim off excess fat, and cut any thick parts open so that it is evenly thick and somewhat rect-angular in shape. Sprinkle half of the herb mixture over the lamb. Mix the almonds and chopped mint into the prune mixture; spread evenly over the lamb. Roll up starting at one of the short sides, and tie with kitchen twine in 1-inch intervals. Cut

9 slits about 1-inch deep into the top of the lamb, and insert a slice of garlic in each. Rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining herb mixture. Place lamb seam-side up on a rack set in a roast-ing pan. Roast in the preheated oven to desired doneness. For medium-rare, a thermometer inserted into the center will read 140 degrees F. Remove lamb from the oven and cover with foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes while proceeding with the recipe. While the lamb is resting, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Boil until the vinegar has reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Once reduced, stir in the butter, honey, and sliced figs. Stir until the butter has melted, then remove from the heat, stir in the chopped basil and set aside. To serve, remove the twine from the lamb and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange on a warm serving platter and drizzle with the fig sauce, garnish with mint and basil leaves.

Here's how to keep it simpleFor a recent tailgate opportunity the weather

forecast worsened all week. On game day the actual weather had temperatures in the low 40s and occasional rain. Early on, as we planned our menu, we thought that or chicken noodle soup would be a warm treat for our guests. Later, we had to decide on how we were going to make, transport, and heat the soup at the game. We wound up with a Rube Goldberg-like collection of a propane crock pot, a thermo-electric (plug-in) cooler/heater and a grill. We really had to juggle all these gadgets, in the light rain, just to fit them into our car and later to fit them onto a table so we could get ready to serve our guests.

My Web site has a 1954 photo of a tailgate picnic at Colgate University. The folks in that picture had a picnic basket and a thermos bottle. They had no need for a crock pot or thermoelectric cooler/heater even if these were invented back then. Maybe we would have been better served, considering the weather, if we had prepared like those folks in that 58-year-old photo. Sometimes we “progress” so much that we create more work for ourselves.

Here’s a great chicken noodle soup recipe for your cold weather tailgate party.

Ingredients: 8 cups chicken stock; 2 skinless chicken thighs w/ bones in and 1 skinless chicken breast half w/ bones in; 2 cups sliced carrots; 2 cups sliced celery; 1 cup chopped onion; 6 ounces uncooked egg noo-dles; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Preparation: 1. Combine the chicken and stock in a Dutch oven

over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer the ingredients for 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from pan and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove chicken from bones and then cut into bite-sized pieces. Discard bones. 2. Add the car-rots, celery, and onions to the pan. Cover the mixture (without chicken) and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Add noodles/pasta, and let it simmer for 6 minutes. Add chicken, salt, and black pepper; cook for 2 min-utes or until noodles are done.

Q: I am a 40 year-old-male and my eyebrows are bothering me. I have read that they can be lifted by opening the up-per eyelid and putting in some device to lift them. Do you think that it can resolve my problem or do you have another sug-gestion for me? Perhaps a mid-forehead lift will lift my brows and then you can even take the excess skin that I have in my forehead out. I have two very deep, long wrinkles in my forehead that you can use. I know that there will be scars even inside the wrinkles but I am willing to correct a problem that is bothering me and accept scars that I can treat later with laser. I want to lift my brows so there has to be some way to do it for me.

A: As for browlifting in young men, there is never a completely satisfactory so-lution. The endotine device to which you refer is placed through an eyelid incision but only lifts the male brow slightly. Whether the amount of lifting that can be achieved, which is just the middle to outer brow area, is enough should be consid-ered carefully before surgery. No scar across the forehead would ever be acceptable in any male but an older one who already has deep horizontal forehead wrinkles may not be bothered. A mid-forehead or direct browlift is a major concern in younger men where the trade-offs for doing something are worse than the original problem. Male browlifting is a challenging issue, particularly in the younger pa-tient. The endotine device approach is the only browlift option I would consider at your age.

OPtIMuM fItnESS lEVEl – Many people overlook one of the most vital parts of a workout: stretching after-wards. Flexibility has been shown to help your body reach its optimum fitness level, as well as prevent conditions like arthritis. The more flexible a muscle is the more potential it has to be-come stronger. –cnn.com

PREVEntAtIVE MEA-SuRES – Remember that saying "An ounce of pre-vention is a pound of cure"? Regular screening can ward off many illnesses; women should remember to have regular mammographies as well as tests for cervical cancer, osteoporosis, and the often overlooked glau-coma. – webmd.com

DEntAl tIP – Make up your own whitening agent by mixing a teaspoon of hy-drogen peroxide and a single tea-spoon of baking soda and using water to turn it into paste. Sub-stitute tooth paste for the homemade whitening agent a couple times a week and you might see a difference in your smile. – webmd.com

ADDItIVE PROblEM – According to a recent quiz on WebMD, sulfites added to foods to preserve color and safe guard against bacteria can inflict mild to life-threatening reactions in 5 percent of those suffering from asthma. – webmd.com

tOuGH tIMES – We all have stress, but how we handle it makes all the difference. One of the best strate-gies is to monitor what you eat. Complex carbs such as whole grains cause the brain to produce more sero-tonin, a feel good hormone. Oranges, spinach, and fish high in Omega 3's also fight off stress. -webmd.com

CESAREAn SCARE – A study from the American College of Nurse-Midwives found that 80 percent of women who have given birth or are going through a pregnancy were not given information on Cesarean sections, which get risky if a mother has more than one back-to-back. – health.com

CHECk tHE PEDOM-EtER – According to Peter Jaret on WebMD, people who prefer walk-ing or running over other forms of exercis-ing to burn those pesky calories should be taking at least 5,000 steps, but 10,000 is needed to be “active.” – webmd.com

DOUGH Business

Commentary by kevin O'Connell

There is major uncertainty over federal tax policy.

Effective Jan. 1, the individual income tax rates, without further Congressional action, are scheduled to increase across the board. Consider:

• The top marginal rate jumping from 35 percent to 39.6 percent.

• The current 10-percent rate for low-income taxpayers will expire and be replaced by a 15-percent rate.

• Even tax-rate relief afforded married tax-payers will expire.

• The current top marginal tax rate on capital gains and dividends of 15 percent is sched-uled to expire. The tax rate on dividends could increase by as much as 286 percent, from 15percent to more than 43 percent.

• Higher-income taxpayers also will be sub-ject to limitations on itemized deductions and personal exemptions.

• Millions of middle-income taxpayers will be liable for the alternative minimum tax because of expiration of the “AMT Patch.”

• Many other incentives for individuals will either disappear or be substantially reduced in the new year.

While Congress may still act to prevent some or all of these tax increases, the likelihood of action with a lame-duck Congress diminishes each day.

In addition to the tax-rate increases on indi-vidual payers, there are a number of new taxes that kick in for 2013:

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, imposes an additional .9 percent Medicare tax on wages and self-employment income and 3.8-percent Medicare contribution tax. The 3.8-percent Medicare contribution tax will apply beginning in 2013 tax year for single individuals with a modified adjusting gross income in excess of

$200,000 and married taxpayers with an MAGI in excess of $250,000. MAGI, for purposes of the Medicare contribution tax includes wages, salaries, tips, and other compensation, dividends and interest income, business and farm income, realized capital gains, and income from a variety of other passive activities and certain foreign earned income. For individuals liable for the tax, the amount of tax owed will be equal to 3.8 percent multiplied by the lesser of (1) net investment income or (2) the amount by which their MAGI exceeds the $200,000/$250,000 thresholds. Also, PPACA will limit contribu-tions to flexible spending arrangements to $2,500 for the tax year.

Some traditional year-end tax planning tech-niques should be considered along with some variations on those strategies. Instead of accel-erating deductions by payment before Dec. 31, taxpayers may want to postpone the payment until after Jan.1, when tax rates are higher. Think the opposite for income.

Accelerate receipt of income in 2012 because the tax rates are lower. Another valuable year-end strategy is to “run the numbers” for regular tax liability and AMT liability. Taxpayers may want to explore if certain deductions should be more evenly divided between 2012 and 2013, and which deductions may qualify, or will not be as valuable, for AMT purposes.

Lastly, for all workers in the private sector, rich and poor, the current 2-percent payroll tax holi-day is scheduled to expire after 2012 without any further extension by Congress. All private-sector workers will feel this immediate pay cut in their first paycheck on wages earned after Jan.1.

The good news: The State of Indiana income tax rates remain unchanged.

Looking to get out and play in the snow this winter? Although most of us would rather be on a beach during January and February, there are diehard snow enthusiasts who call every fall looking for that perfect powder. Inevitably, Colorado becomes topic of choice and resorts in Aspen, Vail or Keystone are checked for avail-ability. This year, however, I have a couple of different suggestions.

For my ski clients, Park City, Utah is my destination of choice. It is home to three of Ski Magazines top ten North American ski resorts, #2 Deer Valley, #4 Park City Mountain Resort and #10 Canyons. Besides the fantastic slopes, Deer Valley offers guests rides to the lobby in a funicular and lounging at “Ski Beach” around its infinity pool and fire pits. At Park City Mountain Resort, adult skiers must take Quit-tin' Time Run down to

High West, the world's only ski-in-ski-out gastro-distillery and sample its pre prohibition cocktail that mandates aging the libation for 90 days in white oak barrels.

And, for a great dining experience, foodies trek to Canyons to eat at The Farm where all ingredients for its dishes are sourced within 200 miles of Park City.

Not sure about skiing but still love the snow? For a change of pace, why not take the kids to

Quebec's famous Winter Carnival, the largest win-ter festival in the world? This year's festival runs from Feb. 1-17 and takes place in various locations throughout Quebec City. Celebrations kick off at The Ice Palace, a fantasy-like castle made of ice and home to Bonhomme, a friendly snowman that greets visitors throughout the festival.

Parents pull their children throughout the festival grounds on toboggans and the carnival becomes a winter playground with events such as ice and snow sculpture contests, a giant snow slide, day and night parades, dog sled races, horse drawn sleigh rides, concerts, ice skating, snow baths, ziplines and more!

LIfESTYLE Grammar Guy

Grammar guy by jordan fischer

Question: I doubt this is of general interest, but I believe I continue to hear the incorrect use of the word myself. An example would be, “My son and myself attended the basketball game.” The correct sentence would be, “My son and I attended the basketball game.” Could you please clarify what the correct use of this per-sonal pronoun is?

Answer: I’m happy to jump in on this one. It’s a mistake I often hear myself. (Boy, am I clever?)Myself is a reflexive pronoun. Along with

other reflexive pronouns like himself, herself, ourselves and yourself, myself is used to refer to a previous word in the sentence. In the case of myself, it’s the word I.

Reflexive pronouns are most commonly seen in two cases: when the subject and object are the same person or thing (including objects of prep-ositional phrases) and as intensive pronouns. You saw an example of the latter in my opening paragraph.

How about some examples for the good of the order, then? Our reader’s question correctly points out an incorrect usage of myself: “My son and myself attended the basketball game.” It

is incorrect because the reflexive pronoun has nothing to refer to. The correct word to use in that sentence would be the subject pronoun I.

Fortunately, we are masters of grammar, so I think we can salvage this. When I was in high school, no basketball game was complete with-out a bag (or two) of oh-so-salty popcorn. So let’s get ourselves a snack, and redeem that re-flexive pronoun in the process: “I bought some popcorn for my son and myself at the basketball game.” Now, the subject of the sentence is I, and the objects are the son and the speaker, bring-ing myself back in play. We could even just say, “I bought some popcorn for myself ” – but, you know, sharing is caring.

To wrap it all up, if you think myself might be appropriate, take a look back at the rest of the sentence. Have you already used the word I? Are you talking about or trying to emphasize something you’re doing? If so, myself could be called for. If not, the word you’re probably look-ing for is me.

Me, myself and I

With Halloween and Thanksgiving behind us, we are only a few short weeks away from Christmas and Hanukah! It is always such a busy time of year, but it is also one of my favor-ite times of year!

One thing that always seems to keep me busy is baking. Besides the typical holiday baking, it seems inevitable that I am asked to bring treats to several gatherings or school events. I never mind doing that, but sometimes I need a simple recipe that looks really great, but doesn’t take a lot of work … or even an oven to create!

So today I want to show you how to make some really cute, really simple snowman pops – no baking involved!

Snowman popsYield: 1 snowman popIngredients:• (1) long lollipop stick• (3) mini powdered donuts• (6) mini chocolate chips• (1) candy corn (many grocery stores carry

these all year long in their candy aisle)• (1) straw candy• (2) M&M’s or similar candy• White icing (from a can is fine)Directions:1. Carefully insert the lollipop stick into all

3 mini donuts. Be careful and go slow so that the donuts don’t break.

2. Carefully tie the candy straw in between the first and second mini donut to create a scarf.

3. Using icing, attach the mini chocolate chips as the eyes and mouth.

4. Using icing, secure the candy corn in the

hole of the top mini donut for the nose.5. Using icing, add the M&M’s into the holes

of the second and third donuts for buttons. You can get as creative as you like, use differ-

ent candies and vary your colors! This is also a really fun kid activity for those cold winter months when it is too cold to go outside! Plus, it’s fun to eat after you are done creating them!

INSIDE & OUT Indoors

Commentary by larry Greene

Original bathroom with a view: This home was built in 1998 in Plum Creek Village sub-division on the east side of Carmel. The cur-rent owners are the second owner of the home, which backs up to Plum Creek Golf Course with a beautiful view from the master bedroom.

Why remodel: According to the owner, “The number one reason was to get rid of the garden tub, as we had no need for it. We wanted to update the bathroom, giving it a warmer feel. We also wanted to enlarge the shower.”

Design phase: “The designers helped us figure out what we could do with the bathroom and how to get the look we wanted. We did not have a design in mind, but once we saw the arch design, we knew that was for us. We had thought about flipping the shower area and the toilet area, but it was too costly.”

Vanity details: Favorite part: “The vanity is my favorite part. I like the openness and flow of it, with one large continuous unit. We are trying to not clutter it up with all of our stuff now. We are using the tower cabinets to store items that were on the countertops before. For my husband, the enlarged luxury shower is the favorite.”

Closet details: “The closet was an after-

thought, but we felt that as long as we were doing this beautiful bathroom, we might as well complete it with the closet. It is the same size, but we removed the door and put in an arch-way. It makes it feel like part of the bathroom now. The closet organizer makes everything

much neater. Everything has a place now.”favorite features: The owner commented,

“Before the remodel, we had contractor-grade materials in the bathroom. Now it is so much more luxurious. We feel like we have created a tastefully elegant place just for us.”
