Prairie success story No apologies requiredIt is our position Conner Prairie Interactive

History Park is an important asset for Hamilton County. Named a 2010 National Medal for Museum and Library Science recipient, Conner Prairie draws visitors and attention from around the world. Conner Prairie is a unique quest to bring history alive through immersion in experience, rather than a regurgitation of facts. At Conner Prairie, a visitor can become a recruit ready to battle against “Morgan’s Raids” on Indiana during the Civil War, a fur trader negotiating with the Lenape Indians, or an Indiana farmer in 1836.

Residents of Hamilton County who only visit to listen to a “Symphony on the Prairie” are missing all of what the park has to offer. There is some-thing for all ages – from the new “hands-on” play village in Dupont, Indiana (focus on early childhood learners) to the realistic 1859 Balloon Voyage Ride, to Grandparent’s Day Wednesdays. The Apple Store is open selling good-ies and products made in the USA. As history education takes a backseat role to Math and English, it is important for parents to “fill the gap” in their children’s education. Take another look at the museum right in your own backyard. Look at www.connerprairie.org for more info or to donate.

It is our position the Indiana Economic Development Corporation is acting in the best

interests of our fine state and its citizens by touting the advantages Indiana offers to businesses contemplating relocation. Indiana’s record of financial stability, educational opportunities, and low cost of living make relocation to the Hoosier State a very attractive option to businesses cur-rently headquartered in our neighboring states. Success in attracting new business has translated into additional job opportunities, continuation of lower income/corporate taxes, more financially-stable government and an overall better environment for Indiana residents.

It is likely that adjacent jurisdictions might not be pleased with Indiana’s often-considered aggressive program to lure errant businesses to consider relocation within our borders. However, as long as the claims made to support these marketing efforts contain verifiable facts about the benefits offered to potential incoming companies there is no foul. A candi-date making the sacrifices to be competitive, IEDC has earned the right to contend for companies who could bring value home because of our own government’s ongoing record of financial responsibility.

As we closed in on press time for this edi-tion at the end of last week, we wondered about the Carmel City Council’s request for health- and life-insurance coverage coming out of the Finance Committee and back to council for last night’s meeting. With no way of knowing what the outcome would be, we still found ourselves against the request for health coverage, at an annual city expense of up to $20,000 per councilor, and life coverage of approximately $90 per year per person while in office. The lady and gentle-men of city council willingly came forward to serve. Our opinion is insuring them is not equitable. They are part-time employees (some more part-time than others, granted), but they essentially are members of the pri-vate sector serving publicly and should foot the bill for their own coverage. What’s next? Insuring the Carmel Clay Parks Board? The Board of Zoning Appeals? It just does not add up. While we appreciate and often laud the councilors’ accomplishments, we must, in this case, stand in opposition.

Councilors should be self-insured

COMMEntaRyBy terry anker

Some weeks ago, I was following an email thread surreptitiously. I can, at times, be a little bit of a thought voyeur. Although I enjoy exchanging messages with a number of differ-ent folks about topics as varied as the fate and reminiscences of our alma mater to the modern state of the free market, I sometimes simply watch the interactions as they fill my inbox, deciding not to enter the fray. Much like sitting silent at the dinner table as the rest of the family relates stories of their passing day I enjoy the discourse uninterrupted by my own participation. At any rate, the communication garnering my attention pertained to access to higher education.

This time, unlike the countless times this commonplace topic struck my ear, I was re-minded of my own graduate education in Bloomington many years ago. Although I have no idea if the policy still exists, at the time en-tering students were required to sign a pledge promising we would not hold a job during our first year of study. Perhaps the intentions were

good enough – working students were more likely to struggle in the vigorous academic en-vironment. But as often is the case with good intentions, there was a more nefarious side to consider. Working class students found them-selves mandated to get loans to attend. And for

anyone pursuing that education immediately following undergraduate completion, they were likely required to get a parental cosigner expos-ing mom and dad to the debt obligation. The alternative was to not at-tend the school – or to lie and get a job anyway. You

can guess my choice. Does it make sense to create systems that

reward those who chose to become dependent upon institutionally imposed mandates rather than individuals who are willing to work harder to accomplish their goals?

Dependent-minded

But as often is the case with good intentions,

there was a more nefarious side to consider.

SURVIVING DIVORCE - PART 1We’ve all heard divorce horror stories from friends, coworkers or family members. Divorce is one of the most stressful experiences to endure. It is a loss which carries the weight of grief with all the ensuing emotions, including anger and denial. If you’re dealing with your own crumbling marriage, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed and scared about the impact divorce will have on your family and you. How can you survive the transition and adjust to a new life? With more than 15 years as a divorce attorney, Lanae Harden, who chairs the Family Law Practice Group at HARDEN JACKSON, LLC, offers the following suggestions to help you through the process.

1. Don’t try to handle your divorce on your own. In the interest of saving time and money, people are willing to compromise and are turning to the internet and online websites offering divorce packages and forms to “do it yourself.” Without more understanding of the law, they often don’t realize they could be compromising their

legal rights. Preparing legal documents without the benefit of a legal opinion may result in unintended consequences that could be even more costly or impossible to correct in the future. Do talk with a law firm that can offer options, including alternatives to litigation, to help you save on attorneys’ fees.

2. Don’t assume traditional litigation is the best option. A common misunderstanding is that it is better for a judge to make decisions if spouses cannot agree. The reality is that litigation limits the decision-making of both parties and increases attorneys’ fees. You and your spouse are in the best position to determine what happens to your children and your property. There are cases where negotiation or mediation are not appropriate because of abuse or mental health issues, or these options prove ineffective. To determine a good strategy, find an attorney who will focus on what is best for you, your family and your financial situation.

3. Establishing a good rapport with your attorney is essential. You’ll want to feel comfortable communicating with your attorney. Don’t hesitate to ask your attorney questions. Find an attorney who educates you about divorce law and your options so you can make informed decisions. You and your attorney need to work as a team to strategize about the necessary steps in your case. Be sure to let your attorney know what matters most to you, whether it is keeping your home, retaining your retirement, receiving legal custody or more parenting time. With that knowledge, your attorney is better equipped to help you reach your goals either by negotiation in the conference room or litigation in the courtroom.

Remember, these suggestions are not meant to be legal advice. You should consult an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation. Look for Part 2 of this series on Surviving Divorce in two weeks.

The American Liberty Elm was named after “The Liberty Tree: Our Country’s First Symbol of Freedom.” On the morning of Aug.14, 1765, the people of Boston woke to discover two ef-figies suspended from an elm tree in protest of the hated Stamp Act. From that day forward, that elm became known as “The Liberty Tree.” It stood in silent witness to countless meetings, speeches and celebrations, and became the ral-lying place for the Sons of Liberty. In August of 1775, as a last act of violence prior to their evacuation of Boston, British soldiers cut it down because it bore the name “Liberty.”

But the Liberty Tree blooms once again….in Carmel. On a sunny Saturday morning in August, this special tree became one of the ma-jor elements in the opening day celebration for Founders Park. Located at the corner of 116th Street and Hazel Dell Road, the park includes a spectacular, interactive playground, a calm, se-rene lake and a super-sized picnic shelter.

The first symbol of freedom in America stands near the playground and will someday offer cool shade to moms and dads relaxing as their children yell, “Watch Me!” while swoosh-ing down the slide. The tree will become the topic of many history term papers for Carmel students of tomorrow.

Pattie Chester and Citizens for Greenspace

secured the grant for Carmel to have its own Liberty Tree. This is one of the final gifts to our community before they disbanded last year, having accomplished their goal of a vibrant and thriving parks system in Carmel. The group ac-tually secured two Liberty Trees, one for Found-ers Park and the other for Carey Grove Park. A plaque with the words in the first paragraph of this column will help visitors to understand the importance and heritage of the mighty Elm which lives right before their eyes.

The Liberty Trees that now call Carmel home are a breed engineered to be resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. Dutch Elm plagued America forests in the 1960s and wiped out the native American elm. Our Liberty Tree, when cared for properly, should grow tall and stand proudly at Founders Park for generations to enjoy. To follow the good example of Citizens for Greenspace support for the proliferation of disease resistant elm trees in America by planting one in your front yard, click to www.elmresearch.org or call Pattie Chester 317-848-2339. As you enjoy Founders Park and the Liberty Tree, remember Citizens for Greens-pace and people like Pattie Chester.

Liberty lives on in Carmel trees

No more pity partyCOMMEntaRy By Danielle Wilson

Lately I’ve been having a bit of a pity party for myself. Work has been unbelievably stressful and time-consuming, which has led to both a disgust-ing house and neglected kids. I’ve felt taken ad-vantage of, unappreciated and have pretty much vented to anyone with ears. All of my other roles of wife, daughter, sister, and friend have been forgotten or temporarily abandoned while I’ve struggled to keep my head above the rough and often treacherous waters of working mom.

Well no more. I spent the holiday weekend with family and a couple of good movies. I now have a whole new perspective on my life. So thank you to . . .

Soul Surfer. Have you seen this flick yet? It’s based on the true story of a girl from Hawaii who lost an arm in a shark attack but went on to become a professional surfer. It’s not pro-duced well, it doesn’t showcase quality acting and there is a strong Christian bend; however, the film struck a chord with me. This little girl could have quit surfing forever and no one would have judged her in the least. But she chose to try. She chose to not let any obstacle stop her from realizing her dream. And I’m making lame excuses for why I don’t exercise or read to my kids anymore?

The Help. This film explores the complicated relationship between Southern white women

and their black maids during the racially-charged 1960s. Maids did everything from the grocery shopping to polishing silver and potty training. The women worked six days a week and earned less than minimum wage. But they took tre-mendous pride in their work and rarely voiced complaints. And I’m bitchin’ because I’ve had to spend some weekends grading a few more papers than usual? Gimme a break. They had to pee in separate toilets because their bosses thought they’d spread diseases. I can’t even imagine!

My cousin. He just started divorce proceed-ings and he is dealing with all of the sadness, anger and worry that goes along with ending a marriage and splitting up a family. He’ll have to pay alimony, child support and work out a visitation schedule to spend time with his three children. And I’m upset because Doo isn’t put-ting his empty wineglass in the dishwasher? Geez, Danielle. Life as he knows it is over! And his kids? How will this affect them?

So you won’t hear any more silliness from me. I have a job, a husband, four healthy children, and now, a positive outlook. The [pity] party’s over, folks. Time to go home. Peace out.

[email protected] Tea Party of Hamilton

County promises its first-ever rally will be a fun and informa-tive event.

The recently formed party started as a spinoff of the India-napolis Tea Party but became a separate entity earlier this year. It will hold its first rally this Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the county fairgrounds, and the event will combine food and live music with the chance to meet and learn about political candidates.

Chuck Ford, the party’s president, said in-vitations were issued to local Democratic and Republican parties, but only the latter agreed to attend. He said each GOP candidate or elected official in the next election cycle – including Senator Richard Lugar and Congressman Dan Burton - is expected to have a campaign repre-sentative at the event, though most will be there personally.

“Our purpose is primarily to inform voters who’s running and where they stand on certain is-sues,” Ford said.

Headlining the event are The Wright Brothers Band, and Ford said the band’s popularity alone could mean that attendance

at the event climbs as high as 5,000. During scheduled breaks in the concert, the rally will have featured speakers. Radio talk show host Greg Garrison will speak at 4:30 p.m. for about 20 minutes and State Senator Mike Delph will go on at 5:30.

The rally, themed “Citizens for a Stronger America,” will be held at the fairgrounds’ llama barn and will feature various local food and craft vendors in addition to candidates’ booths. Admission is $10 but children 12 and under accompanied by a parent will be admitted for free. For more information, visit www.teapar-tyofhamiltoncounty.org.

Council expected to vote on insurance ordinance this [email protected]

An ordinance that would make City Council members eligible to receive health and life insur-ance through the city was expected to be voted on at last night’s meeting.

The council’s finance committee last week sent the ordinance back to the council without a rec-

ommendation, as its members opted to instead hold all discussions on the topic on Monday night. Councilors said they likely would vote on the ordinance at Monday’s meeting, which occurred after Current’s scheduled press time. The results of the meeting and details on the ordinance, however, can be found at currentincarmel.com.

Five years ago, the Carmel International Arts Festival displayed the work of 185 mostly lo-cal artists. Few applicants were turned away as organizers attempted to grow and develop the annual art show.

Those days now are over, though. CIAF is in its 14th year, and the event continues to get better with age. The annual and two-day festival now includes far fewer crafts more national tal-ent, and acceptance into the event only is avail-able to serious artists.

Chairwoman Rosemary Waters is in her eighth year running the festival, which in its earliest days was held at Civic Square. CIAF was moved to the Arts & Design District five years ago, but Waters took over when it was held out-side at the Providence at Old Meridian apart-ment and townhome community.

“The last year there was just pathetic,” Waters said. “[The bar] needed to be raised.”

The improvement was made by creating stricter requirements and upping the competi-tion. CIAF has slimmed down significantly in recent years. This year’s event will feature 135 juried artists, which is about the maximum given the event’s current arrangement in the Arts District. Still, Waters said the days of fea-turing as many artists as possible are over. There is no quota to meet, and while she can fit 135 to 140 artist booths on Main Street each year, she said the CIAF Committee now might only admit 100 in a given year, for example, if the rest of the available spaces can’t be filled with high-caliber art.

And many artists have found that being admit-ted to previous years’ festivals doesn’t guarantee a return in later years. A little more than half of last year’s artists are returning this year for an event that’s featuring a constantly increasing level of out-of-state talent. About one-third of this year’s 135 artists are from other states as far away as Texas and New York, and this is by design.

A few years ago, Waters and other members of the committee began traveling to other states to find talent.

“We went around to other arts festivals and

took cards if we saw somebody we liked,” she said, adding that the committee would later invite these artists to apply to CIAF. “You’d be amazed. Word gets around.”

Waters now believes CIAF is easily among the state’s best arts festivals, despite the fact that it’s free, organized by volunteers and has a budget that is significantly less than that of other Indi-ana festivals.

“When you get to be Penrod’s and Broad Ripple’s status and you have the same quality of art, that’s pretty good,” said Waters’ husband, Paxton Waters, a business owner in the Arts District who informally assists in organizing the event.

That could be good news for the owners of the district’s many art galleries.

While attendance has risen significantly in recent years – 2010 saw a record 30,000 attend-ees between the two days – the people coming to the event also have changed, Waters said. The elimination of the children’s area and the reduction of crafts have reduced the number of families. Waters said many families in the past would come to CIAF “because it was something to do,” but while food and live music still draw those looking for an activity, Waters said more attendees are serious shoppers looking to pur-chase or commission artwork at the event.

“The festival is one of the reasons I moved my gallery here,” said Kathleen Stevens, owner of Renaissance Fine Art & Design at 1 S. Range Line Rd. “It brings business to my business.”

Though Stevens attended her first CIAF last year, she said she “loved the quality of the art” and even features the work of some of the festi-val’s artists in her gallery.

For Waters, reaching this point is the payoff after years of hard work and difficult choices. But now she and the committee have CIAF at a level where they said they believe it should be and believe enough people could come out to beat last year’s record attendance.

“They know they’re going to see a good show,” she said.

Ambulance bills now payable by

credit [email protected]

One of the most common forms of payment can now be used to cover emer-gency services.

The City Council at its Sept. 6 meeting approved an ordinance permitting the Carmel Fire Dept. to accept credit card payments for the use of its ambulance and other related services.

“If you can pay by credit card at Wendy’s, you ought to be able to pay for your ambulance service the same way,” Councilwoman Luci Snyder said.

Fire Chief Kevin Smith said people often request to use a credit card to pay for the portion of their bills not covered by insurance but have previously been forced to use other forms of payment. He added that the change will make the payment process easier for Carmel resi-dents as well as the department.

“This makes it easier for them and makes the collection of ambulance bills easier for us,” Smith said.

COMMEntaRy By Edy Stoughton

For many children, school is a positive experi-ence of acquiring the skills they need to succeed in life. However, as the head of Midwest Acade-my, I see children whose educational experience has not gone well. As an experienced educator and administrator, I have a few suggestions that can help you child start the school year suc-cessfully or get back on track if the year has not begun well.

The most helpful attitude that parents can have is cautious optimism. Assume that teach-ers and administrators want things to go well for their students and that most children are resil-ient and can deal with the typical bumps in the road. But at the same time, trust your instincts and don’t overlook warning signs.

One caution: Don’t let too much time pass in the hope that a problem will disappear. Be proactive in dealing with issues before they esca-late and your child loses too much ground. If it turns out that your worries are groundless, you will save much time spent in worrying. How-ever, make sure your concerns are taken seri-ously and not trivialized. You are an important member of your child’s educational team and you have valuable and unique insights into your child that are important for school personnel to know. Write your main points down and bring them with you to focus the discussion and make sure your questions are answered.

Keep a close eye on your child’s homework load. If your child is spending hours each night with no time for relaxing or family time, or if your child consistently brings work home that he or she doesn’t understand, it is important to discuss these issues with school personnel. Homework can be a very real source of tension and anxiety if it is overwhelming.

Make sure school personnel take seriously any concerns about your child’s emotional well-being. Bullying and exclusion are sadly common, and they must be taken very seriously. If you fear that your child is being victimized in any way, insist that it be dealt with immediately. Sometimes children don’t tell their parents if they are being bullied for fear of alarming them or because they feel that somehow it is their fault. Be alert to a pervasive mood of sadness, a consistent desire to not go to school, little or no contact with friends, sleeplessness, and other similar signs.

Hopefully, this will be a positive and produc-tive year for you and your child. A few precau-tions including open communication between home and school and a proactive stance if you are concerned will go a long way toward making that happen.

Starting the school year on the right foot

» Fastest way to board – Airlines for years have sought the fastest way to board a plane, as studies have shown that an airline can save up to $30 per flight for every minute cut from boarding. An astrophysicist thinks he’s found it. Jason Steffen of Fermi National Laboratory in Il-linois suggests that loading passengers by alternating rows, starting from the back of the plane, is quickest. When loading people in a row, travelers in window seats file in first, then middle seats, followed by aisle seats. Steffen’s way emerged as the fastest when pitted against four other boarding methods, the BBC reported.

» Graphic design showcase – Interna-tional Business College has collaborated with the Indianapolis Artsgarden to show-case the talents of IBC’s graphic design students in the 18th annual 2011 Graphic Design Portfolio Review, Sept. 28, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Indianapolis Artsgarden, 110 W. Washington St., Indianapolis. The event is free and open to the public. Visit www.ibcindianapolis.edu for details.

» Steam in your microwave — Don’t buy a special steamer for your veggies. Broccoli, green beans, and carrots actu-ally come out better — tender and never brown or withered. Even sturdy and nutri-ent-dense greens like collards, chard, and broccoli rabe (which are generally boiled, drained, and sautéed) can be cooked in one step in the microwave. Combine about a pound of cut-up leaves and stems with a tablespoon of oil, and chopped on-ion or garlic. Cook for about five minutes or until softened and tender, stirring once or twice during cooking.

September gardening tip – Dig up your rosemary, basil, tarragon, oregano, mar-joram, English thyme, parsley, and chives to grow them inside as houseplants. Keep them in a cool, sunny spot, and allow the soil to dry out before watering. Snip off the leaves as needed in the kitchen, but do not strip them completely.

My staff has surveyed tailgaters across the coun-try. These people fed us, cheered our efforts and told us what they liked to eat at their tailgate par-ties. First choice (with 31%) was premium sausage like bratwurst, italian or smoked flavor. The second choice was miscellaneous sandwiches (25.6 %) and third choice was hamburgers (13.2 %). If you think about it, people want to have their tailgate

food – easy to prepare. Sausages just need to be grilled and put on a bun. The same goes for the dessert bar. These are brownies, Rice Krispie bars or any type of cake eaten by hand and without the necessity of a fork or plate. Here is a great recipe for everybody’s favorite, carrot cake, in a bar.

Joe Drozda is a Carmel resident and an author about sports and food. You may contact him at [email protected] or

visit www.tailgatershandbook.com.

Ingredients: 1 Cup flour, 1/2 Cup whole wheat flour, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 3/4 cup canola oil, 1 Cup packed light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 2 Cups carrots, cut into 1/2 inch piecesFrosting: 6 oz. softened cream cheese, 1 Cup confectioners sugar sifted, 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 2 Tbsp. finely chopped pecansDirections: Preheat oven to 350. Lightly butter a 13/9 baking dish. Combine flours, cinnamon, baking

powder, and salt in a large bowl; add the pecans; stir to blend. Place the oil, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in the bowl of your food processor. Process until blended then gradually add the carrots through the feed tube while the motor is running. Process until the carrots are finely chopped. Pour the carrot mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well blended. Spread the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the sides and you can place a tooth pick into the middle and it comes out dry. Cool on a wire rack.

To make the frosting beat the cream cheese and conf. sugar until smooth. Add the lemon juice, nutmeg and vanilla. Spread the frosting over the cooled bars and then sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cut into bars. Decorate each with an icing orange carrot with green leaves. Or decorate each with a team “letter” symbol, like the ND for Notre Dame.

Basically gin with sparkling lemonade, the Tom Col-lins cocktail was born of the Great Tom Collins Hoax of 1874. The hoax began as a game, in which someone would ask another if he’d seen Tom Collins, assert-ing that this character (who didn’t really exist) had been spreading rumors about him. A flurry of urgent searching would ensue, and the supposedly maligned searcher would end up feeling foolish.

Ingredients: 1 1/4 ounces Tanqueray London Dry, 1 ounce lemon or lime juice, 1 teaspoonsweet & sour mix, 1 splashclub soda, 1 sliceorangeDirections: 1. In a shaker half filled with ice cubes, add Tanqueray London Dry, lemon or lime juice,

» Exercise myth – Myth: Lift less weight with more reps to get toned. Truth: To get toned, you need larger muscles and less fat, and challenging your body through heavier lifting is a big part of this equation. In fact, a study at Georgia Southern University deter-mined lifting 85 percent of your maximum ability for eight reps burns about twice as many calories in the two hours post-workout compared with 15 reps at 45 percent max. And don’t worry: Lifting heftier iron won’t transform you into a bodybuilder; achieving that look requires eating a high-calorie diet and a long-term power-lifting regimen.

» Read beyond ‘low-fat’ – Even foods that claim to be “low-fat” may contribute signifi-cantly to fat intake if you eat more than one serving. The label phrase “low-fat” means the product contains 3 grams or less per serving. Be sure to check the serving size on the nu-trition facts label and account for the extra fat (and calories) consumed if you eat more than one serving.

» DIY acupressure – Push on trigger points - marble-size knots in your muscles - with enough pressure to see a white mark from your finger and hold for at least 45 seconds. It will hurt at first, but doing this increases the energy flow to help release the muscle the same way a sports massage works to ease the pain. If you have pain in a hard-to-reach spot--such as your back, shoulder, or neck--apply pressure with a tennis ball. Simply lay on the floor, place the ball near the area where there’s pain, and roll it around until you find the most tender spot. Lie there for 1 to 5 minutes, or until you feel your muscles relax.

No matter how hard you exercise, you can always find people exercising harder, as they speed past you on foot or bicycle, crank up the elliptical machine, or lift seemingly superhuman amounts of weight at the gym, it’s only natural to wonder: Am I taking it easy? Should I do more?

The answer really de-pends on your goals. In other words, if your goal is to improve your health, you probably don’t need to exercise as hard as people who are trying to lose a large amount of fat, gain a large amount of muscle, or train for com-petitive sports. That’s especially true if you’re older and haven’t exercised in a long time.

You should always check with your physician before starting a new exercise program. But once you’re cleared for take-off there are no workouts too wimpy. If a sedentary 65-year-old walks slowly for 30 minutes three times a week, it is a great step forward.

For basic health it is important to keep mov-ing and exercise five to six days a week. If your goal it to lose weight, focus more on increasing the duration of time you exercise and less on

intensity of the workout.Staying active helps prevent chronic diseases

such as heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends adults age 18 to 64 exer-cise at moderate intensity for at least 2.5 hours

per week or at a vigorous intensity for at least 1.25 hours per week. To lose weight, the American college of Sports Medi-cine recommends up to an hour a day of physical activity.

Moderate, vigorous, what do these levels re-ally mean and how do we measure them? As a group

instructor, I like the talk test. It is easy, and there is no equipment necessary. If you’re exercising for health and fitness (fast walking or slow bicycling), you should be able to talk but not sing. Revving up to vigorous activity (think running or swim-ming), you shouldn’t be able to say more than a few words without pausing for breath.

No wimpy workouts

How the rest was oneSPIRItUalItyBy Bob Walters

One of the great big things largely missing from contemporary Christianity is a coherent understanding of church history.

And by church history, I don’t mean Vatican II, the Billy Graham crusades, or the establish-ment clause of the U.S. Constitution’s first amendment. I mean the years and decades immediately following Jesus Christ’s ministry, death and resurrection, followed by centuries of doctrinal and church development.

Why, or rather, how, did Christianity thrive in those early years when no modern un-derstanding of popular faith can explain its survival? Jesus wasn’t especially well known. Christians were killed, oftentimes in horrible ways, for the crime of simply being Christian. Jewish scripture was not widely known outside of Judaism. There were no Bibles, and the New Testament was unwritten.

And yet, here were these spirit-filled Christians.

Pagan idols were manmade. The mythic gods provided stories but no consequential teach-ing. Roman law dictated worship of Caesar. Academics of the day relied on the Greek un-derstanding of evidence and logical proof. Yet here were these Christians, worshipping the living Son of the Creator God incarnate among

mankind, revealing the truth of God’s love for His creation, and dying to erase mankind’s sin. How do you explain that?

The thing is … you can’t explain it. What happened in those earliest years of Christianity was that eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus shared what they saw and heard, and in faith followed Christ as their Lord. There was evidence and proof in the hearts of the eyewitnesses, and by the power of the Holy Spirit those hearts con-tinued in faith through the generations of man-kind. The Spirit remains with us even now.

It’s not enough for today’s Christian to read the Bible’s Book of Acts (written by the Apostle Luke), memorize verse 2:42, and say, “OK, let’s sing some breezy modern worship songs, feel good about Jesus, and come back to church next week.”

The story of Christianity is magnificen.Jesus, our rest, is eternal and infinite … but

hard to explain. Knowing where the faith has been can build our hope in where our faith, as one body of believers, is going.

Bob Walters (www.believerbob.blogspot.com, email [email protected]), who knows Christianity is more about where we’re going than where we’ve been, nonetheless recommend’s Alister McGrath’s

“Christian Theology” and Robert Wilken’s “The Spirit of Early Christian Thought.” Don’t just “look up” … look it up!

» Get a refund on airfare – A recent survey by MasterCard found that 71 percent of people hunting for airfares aren’t aware you can get back some of the cost difference if airfare drops after you book. The refund is in the form of a voucher that can be used for future flights. To get a refund, keep checking the price of your flights after your purchase and then pounce if you see that your trip is available for less. Fares change by the day and even by the hour, so you have to request a refund from the airline before the price goes up again. Call a customer service agent to request the refund.

We all have a tendency to underrate our instincts. Out instincts are what keep us alive. Our instincts are what feed us. Our instincts are what keep us from harm. And our instincts are at play every day in all aspects of our life.

If this were caveman times, we’d perhaps have a greater appreciation for our instincts. We’d listen to how we feel more than what we thought, we’d trust our initial reactions rather than second guessing them.

But there are no dinosaurs chasing us around. In today’s world we all spend time analyzing decisions, calculating outcomes, measuring pos-sibilities and weighing alternatives - sometimes to the point of exhaustion.

Is all the cognitive effort worth it? Is all the thinking really over-thinking? Is it time to re-think thinking?

Too often the well intended decision-making efforts simply slow everything down – long meet-ings to hash out issues, discussing decisions yet again. Call it micromanaging, call it sound busi-ness, or call it the slowdown showdown. Nothing seems to grind things to a halt more than over-thinking decisions. Have we all forgot, it’s okay to

be wrong? At least if you are willing to be wrong, you are willing to move forward.

Instincts are our internal compass telling us what to do to survive. Even though our culture has evolved and we know more than our cave-men ancestors, we still make decisions based on

the same fundamentals. We make decisions based on our instincts and our instincts are all about survival. Your decisions today might not all be life or death, but they are still principled on survival

only in the context of all the things that matter to you in your life.

I’ve recommitted to listening to my instincts. Hear the problem, feel the solution. I’m okay being wrong because it is really partly right. I can’t remember too many times where I’ve been completely wrong. Maybe it’s time to call it partly right when things don’t go perfectly? Maybe it’s time to rebrand wrong? Maybe it’s time to trust your instincts more? And maybe you’ll eliminate a few meetings and anxieties along the way.

Instinctually, partly right

ORIGINAL MASTER BATH: This home is located in the Feather Cove subdivision in the Geist area. When the homeowners recently purchased their 20-year-old home, they knew the master bath was the first thing on their list to renovate. According to the homeowners, “We had this small fiberglass shower (think telephone booth), carpeting on the floor, very short vani-ties, poor space utilization and out-of-date fix-tures and countertops.”

NEW CUSTOM DESIGN: The design team set out to modify the overall floor plan as needed to come up with a functional design to meet the owner’s needs. According to the owner, “The 3-D design experience was excellent. We were able to work in a real-time basis to make changes and immediately see a 3-D rendering of the finished bathroom.”

FAVORITE FEATURES: The homeowner com-mented, “The redesign of our space allowing us to have a full size walk-in shower is our favorite part of the remodel. The features we enjoy in-clude the efficient use of space, walk-in shower, taller counters, new travertine flooring, free standing tub, upgraded fixtures and new coun-

tertops. We enjoy it very much.” CONSTRUCTION LESSONS: Materials were

all ordered in advance and stored offsite, thus avoiding delays caused by late delivery. The construction phase lasted about four weeks. The bathroom was sealed with a zippered “air lock” to keep any dust from the remainder of the house. Each day drop cloths were placed over hardwood floors and removed at the end of the day. Carpeting was protected with a self-sticking durable plastic sheet, it survived throughout the construction.

SHOWER DETAILS: The walk-in shower includes a frameless glass enclosure with two panels and brushed nickel hardware. The new

vanity cabinets are thermofoil stock cabinets with slab drawer face construction. The bath floor is finished with new Claros Silver tile while the shower walls are covered with Sorbona white ceramic tile in a running bond pattern with decorative medallions and trim pieces.

» Get a hot-oil treatment – Save a bundle by substituting jojoba oil (find it in natural food stores for about $10) for pricier hair-repair products once a week. “Jojoba has a fine molecular structure that allows it to en-ter and fill the hair shaft, making it a perfect choice for conditioning,” says Paul Labrecque, a New York salon owner. Spread the oil liber-ally through dry hair, put on a plastic shower cap, then cover with a hot towel for 30 min-utes. Wash the oil out thoroughly, then rinse with cold water to seal the cuticle and trap added moisture.

» Permanently straighten hair - The Brazil-ian treatment is the gentlest permanent hair-straightening method available. The stylist applies a keratin formula. Then, a flat iron set at 450 degrees seals the product to the cuticle of the hair. The keratin solution fills in gaps in strands caused by chemical or heat damage and coats the entire strand. After 72 hours, the client washes with a neutralizing shampoo. The result is shiny, healthy-looking, straight hair.

IntERIOR DESIgnBy Vicky Earley

Times change, people change and lives change. It really is a good thing.

So what can you do to keep a room or a home from look-ing dated? Well, I say there’s nothing you can do to keep a room from looking dated other than tweaking and changing as time goes on.

A few easily-remedied trends that might be dragging your home firmly into the past are more than just the golden oak cabinets that were the signature style of the 1980s.

It might be a bit more subtle…things might escape your attention because you are accus-tomed to seeing them each and every day.

Bad faux finish. Whether you brought out the sponge and newspapers or turned the job over to a pro, there are just some faux finishes ready to be painted over. I am not talking about faux finish in general…I am referring to the smishes and swirls leftover from the early days of faux. The metallic and pearls of the faux 2011 finish world are current and fresh.

Heavy duty murals. Keep in mind I am responsible for a few of these murals and I apologize. If you still have one, look to see if it is bringing your room to a point of paralysis. If so, it might be the right time to bid the full wall

Tuscan vineyard scene com-plete with hot air balloons, a fond farewell and adieu.

Vinyl letters on the wall reflect sweetly on family, love and assorted endearments. They are vinyl and should peel off easily. It was endearing five years ago but the vinyl letters

weren’t even a design trend, they were a mo-mentary fad.

Chalkboard paint for anything other than a child. Several months ago I saw a chalkboard headboard featured on a website called Apart-ment Therapy. Chalkboards for children: good. Chalkboard paint for a grown-up house: bad.

The brass bullet. I thought they had all been removed and taken to Goodwill but I had a rare sighting of one several weeks ago. They are the long, glass and brass entry fixtures, a staple of the late 1980s. Be glad you got 25 years of use out if it and say good bye.

The next time you pass a mirror and notice your big hair with Farrah wisps need a trim, remember change is good.

Change is good … very, very good

Celeb’s today are channeling the twentieth century Hollywood styles while on the red carpet. Rachel McAdams was recently seen with a short, blonde Marilyn Monroe ‘do, and Penelope Cruz was spotted with Audrey Hepburn- inspired bangs. Large waves, similar to Veronica Lake’s style look great on long hair, while Marlene Dietrich’s face-framing curls from the 1920’s can work on shorter hairstyles.

This season, try something new for your next event! Based on the up-do’s we have seen on the red carpet, anything goes! A messy, twisted topknot, smooth and sleek Grace Kelly inspired ‘do, or swept back romantic waves are the perfect accessory to your evening gown. Schedule an appointment at Salon 01 for more up-do inspirations. We have a team especially trained in formal looks, and we would be happy to help you create the image you desire for your next party, wedding or gala.

Up-Do Style

British StyleThe happenings in Britain have been all the rage this year, from the fascination of the Royal wedding and “who wore what,” to the obsession with following Pippa Middleton’s every move, the British craze has now further infiltrated the fashion world. This fall, look sleek in one of these styles we’ve stolen from overseas. • A High-Volume Coat: The secret to wearing a generously cut topper is to belt it and pair it with something sleek like skinny pants or a mini dress.• Updated Pullover and Pants Look: Sweaters with bold graph-ics paired with color-block pants.• Any Military Inspired Number: Classic military jackets- short or long- always look smooth.• Shift Dress: A-line, in any fabric. Try a bold color for this season.

» Diagnosing heartworms – Dogs with only a few heartworms may seem fine at first but symptoms worsen over time. You’ll notice reluctance to exercise, shortness of breath and coughing. Dogs can faint from overexertion. Eventu-ally, untreated dogs develop congestive heart failure, and dogs can collapse and die. The vet bases diagnosis on several things, including blood antigen tests that detect female worms, X-rays and sono-grams to look at the heart and lungs, and urinalysis.

» Include pets in estate plans? – Many seniors fail to consider their pets when building an estate plan, an oversight that often finds them homeless or in animal shelters, according to the Humane So-ciety of the United States. People often incorrectly assume they will outlive their pet, or that a friend or family will take care of their pet when they are gone, according to Anne Culver, director of Disaster Services for the Humane Society. Formal provisions can ensure a pet will receive proper care in a loving home after its owner has passed away. It is important to outline a temporary plan for a pet before even drafting a long-term plan. Estate plans can take time to carry out, especially if they are contested, but pets need daily care and immediate attention.

DISPatCHES What to do if you found a hound

John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at [email protected].

PEtSBy John Mikesell

Five things you should do if you find a stray dog.

If the dog is wearing a collar and tags with current contact information for his owner, you’re in luck –and the rest of the information is not relevant.

Take him to your local shelter. Don’t panic; you don’t have to leave him there if you are con-cerned your local shelter is unsafe, unclean, or poorly managed.

If the dog has as owner who is actually trying to find the dog, the owner will most likely come to the shelter to look for the dog. Few people, except the most dedicated owners, think to read the ads in the classified section or on craigslist.

Ask the shelter staff to scan the dog, to see if he has an implanted microchip. If he does, the staff should be able to help you track down contact information for the dog’s owner.

This seems like a no-brainer, but it is not always the first thought you have. It always is a surprise to me, how many dogs and cats are not chipped.

If he does not have a microchip, and you don’t want to leave him at the shelter, you should at least file a “found dog” report at the shelter. This protects you in case you end up deciding to keep the dog or you give the dog to a friend. It shows you made a reasonable effort to find the dog’s owner. If the owner shows up some time later and wants his dog back, you’ll need to be able to prove the attempt was made in order to protect your right to the dog.

Some shelters take a photo of the dog for their “found dog” reports and file those online. Few people are aware shelters keep these reports; most people just check the shelter kennels and/ or website.

Take a photo of the dog and make a “found dog” flier; post it in as many places as you can

in the area where you found the dog. Most dog owner’s look at posters for lost or found pets, and many of us are more familiar with our neighbors’ pets than their owners. This way, you are recruiting a small army of people who might be able to help reunite the dog and his owner.

If you bring the dog home, take immediate steps to protect your pets. Check to see if the dog is infested with fleas; if he is, you’ll want to use some sort of potent flea control product immediately, before the fleas can populate your car or home. If your dogs are not vaccinated or are immune-suppressed, you may want to keep the stray dog as far from your dog as pos-sible until you can make sure he’s not sick with anything transmissible. Wash your hands well after handling the stray, and clean up his waste immediately.

Back to school and backpacksHUMORBy Dick Wolfsie

I never wore a bike helmet when I was a kid. I have no recollection of using seatbelts. Things were different in those days. My Little League baseball coach instructed us not to drink water when we were practicing because it would give us a stomach ache.

Every time my mother bought me a pair of shoes, they X-rayed both my feet for good mea-sure and then I’d also get zapped with a chest X-ray anytime I went to the pediatrician.

I’m not into conspiracy theories, but looking back now, this may have been a well-executed plot to prevent Boomers from living into adult-hood and bleeding dry all the future Social Secu-rity and Medicare funds.

I don’t ever remember wearing a backpack when I was a kid. Most of us had three-ring binders and we stacked our algebra and English lit book on top then trotted down the hall to class. A few nerds (or whatever they were called in the ’60s) carried briefcases. This made it tough on bullies because it was hard to get both a sev-enth grader and an attaché case into a locker.

The hottest new thing in backpacks is L.L. Bean’s Turbo Transit II, which is also the high-speed train my sister takes to work from Long Island to Manhattan. The backpack is 2,400 cu-bic inches, the ideal size, say the Bean counters. Of course, if you told me that 2,400 cubic inches

is the size of my front lawn, I’d have believed that, also.

Now, scientists say: “A loaded backpack should not exceed 10 percent of the child’s weight, so a grade-schooler who weighs 100 pounds should only be hauling (wait, wait, don’t tell me)—10 pounds.” This astounding calculation comes to us from the fine folks at AOTA (the American Oc-cupational Therapy Association), who also note: “A backpack worn too low will cause a child’s shoulders to hunch and neck to lean forward.” We didn’t have backpacks in the ’60s, but that’s still a darn good description of my entire high school graduating class parading up to get their diplomas.

AOTA researchers roamed the corridors of hundreds of high schools and asked more than 1,000 students if they could weigh them and then weigh their backpacks. About 50 percent did exceed the recommended limit. The other half called school security.

Last year there were 29,754 backpack-related injuries reported by emergency rooms across the country. I’m not sure what that means, but this has to be a good thing for today’s aspiring scholars. “The dog ate my homework” just doesn’t cut it anymore.

HUMORMike Redmond

I’m teaching again, much to the consterna-tion of the people who knew me as a student, and so far, this is shaping up as a pretty good semester. Of course, we’re only three weeks into it, so there’s still plenty of time for a disaster, but I’m optimistic.

The subject is “The history of American pop-ular music.” I got the job by virtue of my expe-rience as a newspaper music critic, back when newspapers had such things. I got THAT job by virtue of my experience as a musician. And I just noticed this is the first time I have ever seen the word “virtue” appear in a paragraph about me. Twice, no less.

Anyway, one of the things I love about teach-ing this class is shattering the perceptions of students who think the history of American popular music is going to be a class about to-day’s pestiferous host of one-named pop stars, from Akon to Zendaya, or a tradition that goes back to such antiquities as Madonna and Prince.

I define popular music as “music made by people.” Of course, this lets out a lot of today’s pop songs because as far as my ears can tell, the greater share of the electronic noise that blasts through modern earphones has been untouched by human hands.

So I take my students all the way back to the 17th century or so and work forward through the different eras of American history and the music they spawned. The nice thing is you don’t encounter any singers named Britney for most of the trip.

I like teaching. I like looking out over a class-room and seeing the bright, eager faces buried in their laptops and concentrating furiously on their smart phones. I like telling them anyone

plinking away on an electronic device after class begins will eat it. As I say this, I usually put a bottle of room service ketchup on the lectern. Works every time.

But I also make sure my students know my philosophy of education, which is:

It should be enjoyable if not downright fun.It should teach you more than is apparent in

the subject matter, and The teacher-student relationship should be

cooperative, not adversarial.As you may already have surmised, this is a phi-

losophy based on everything my education was not.I kid sort of. I had fun, I learned a lot, and I

had some wonderful teachers. But I also have entire years of school I have chosen to wipe from my memory simply because they were so awful, so boring, or so awfully boring. This ac-counts for fifth, seventh, ninth and 12th grades and most of my college courses.

I tell my students it is my job to help them get the best grade possible. They like that idea. Then I tell them they’ll be doing most of the heavy lifting and they don’t like it quite as much, but at least they know I’m on their side.

And now, if you will excuse me, I have to prepare a lesson plan on the music of Stephen Foster. Last week I asked for a show of hands to see if anybody even knew who he was. Not a paw went up. As you can see, I have my work cut out for me. Or rather, my students do.
