“ I would say the future of pain care is here. With terrible leg pain I had hardly played any golf for the last 2 years. After getting just one treatment from Dr. Srini, I cannot believe that I completed the entire 18 holes with absolutely no pain ”….. Otis Oliver, after permanent pain relief from peripheral vascular pain. He does not require sur-gery.

“My knees are 100% pain free without surgery after Dr. Srini’s treatment and I feel 10 years younger!”......... Mary Flora (Kokomo, IN)

“ Over three years I have suffered from terrible headaches, I also had low back pain. I was told there was no hope for my pain condition and was put on addic-tive medications that affected my everyday functioning. I am simply delighted that I am pain free after 3 treatments by Dr. Srini who explained the science behind my pain condition. He has proven that my incurable pain condition was indeed curable! ”….. Edwina Foust after receiving permanent pain relief from headaches.

“ I had severe tail bone pain and sciatica after falling on a hard object. For five years I had suffered in severe pain visited many treatment facilities and have spent over $ 60,000 in treatments without any pain relief. I am simply delighted that after just one treatment I am pain free”….. Barbara Wolfe, one year after treatment.

My name is Vicki Hinkle. I have struggled with foot pain for many, many years. I have had treatment and surgery from several very experi-enced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause life style changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shop-ping with friends. I had accepted with sadness; the reality those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonder-ful results in less than a week after my treatment by Dr. Srinivasan. It has now been several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, ac-complished weight loss and enjoy outdoor activities once again. I en-courage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back too!

It is our position that we must push for no tolerance of bullying at home, school, or on social networks. Carmel High School has been the poster child of bullying abuse for over a year. But, bullying is widespread. At a basketball game between central Indiana rivals, a spirited group from one parochial school called out the name of a member of the opposing team's spirit group then held up their middle fingers to express their point of view. Sadly, the ill-mannered girls group planned, colluded and bragged about their harassment later on Twitter and Facebook. In addition to face-to-face victimization, digital abuse is a growing danger. An AP-MTV survey of 1,267 14- to 24-year-olds revealed 50 percent have experienced some form of cyber bullying.

Victims can suffer long-term psychological effects, such as low self esteem, depression, anger, school failure, school violence or suicide. Bullying in all forms should be taken seriously, not ignored. Parents, teachers, and school administrators need to create a culture of accountability. Bullies should be held responsible for their actions. Parents should be vigilant about their children's use of social networks. We need a rebirth of empathy and tolerance, a return to civility. Civility is taught in the home. Isn't it?

A load of bullying Sharing the creditIt is our position that so far this season, the

street department has been doing an outstanding job keeping the roads safe across our community. We can imagine the chal-lenges that come with salting, shoveling and other maintenance that comes with snowfall, but, in spite of meteorological challenges, our thoroughfares have remained passable and largely secure. Moreover, we have managed to accomplish this formidable challenge in a creative and cost-effective fashion.

Making use of city-owned vehicles as part-time snowplows not only allows for greater flexibility in providing services, it also reduces the capital expense for buying purpose-specific snow equipment. Moreover, it allows existing city em-ployees to earn overtime. The overall effect is a more-affordable, more-detailed and more citizen-pleasing (and employee-pleasing) snow-removal operation.

Yet with ever-changing weather forecasts, it can be difficult to make a plan of action in terms of the appropriate measures to take to keep the streets safe. And, we understand the frustration when mid-day arrives and our street still has not been cleared. But, we believe that with the resources and manpower available that workers do a great job. We advise patience first, and then a call to the city.

As we previously reported would be the case in this space, Mayor Andy Cook formally announced at the recent Westfield Chamber of Commerce luncheon his candidacy to retain the position in the coming primary and general elections. To nobody’s surprise – least of all, ours – his declaration elicited vigorous applause from the packed room at The Bridgewater Club. Knowing Cook and his personality, we will bet he’s going to treat this campaign as if he’s a first-timer – as it should be, in our opinion. We believe most would give him a favorable rating, but he is taking nothing for granted as campaign season gets under way. … And speaking of the chamber, Julie Sole and her staff did a wonderful job of packing the house for the event, and our humorist/columnist, Mike Redmond, had us laughing into the afternoon.

• • •Contrasted against the cutting political

discourse we’ve been hearing out of Wash-ington is a lot of optimism here about the new Republican-controlled House. Business owners and managers are less “freaked out” by President Obama’s assault on small busi-ness. Being independents, we caution our Republican friends that we need to take a

wait-and-see approach. After all, we know what happened the last time Republicans controlled the House. Although we’ve heard and offered a lot of criticism about former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, we can’t help but admire her management skills. Let’s face it; she pushed through a radical agenda, much of which was opposed by the majority of Americans. Yet she forged ahead anyway, stayed focused, twisted arms, and got what she wanted. We hope there is a conserva-tive version of Ms. Pelosi leading the House, and we’re not yet convinced Speaker John Boehner can fill her shoes. We’ll see.

The recent murder of Indianapolis Metropoli-tan Police Department Officer David Moore, killed during a routine traffic stop at age 28, re-minds us of the personal risk assumed by those who will stand between us and harm’s way. Of-ficer Moore is widely lauded by fellow officers, friends, family and all who knew him as one of the best among us. From his earliest days, he followed the rules, worked hard and succeeded the old-fashioned way.

There are scores of others like him who will perish in our service, either in military or civil uniform, across the country and on foreign soil in the months and years to come. Why are they willing to make those sacrifices? And are we doing enough to protect and honor their commitment?

Philosophers and religious thinkers have long attempted to unravel the motivation that brings a human being to put his or her life in peril to the benefit of others. Most of us immediately understand how one could step into danger to

protect a loved one. We have a particular inter-est in preserving that relationship. Yet others risk protecting strangers without a need for any indi-vidual or specific return. And, thank heaven for them. Absent the ones among us who will jump a gunman in Arizona, stabilize a government in Afghanistan or stop a felon on the streets of cen-tral Indiana, we would slip into isolated anarchy.

There are many who postulate. Perhaps glory – some call those who serve needy of attention. Perhaps power – some call those who serve needy of authority. Personally, I believe they’re called to protect. I believe they feel it their mis-sion to help provide for a community to which they identify – state, city, country.

Regardless of motivation, we would be lost without them. And for that alone, we should be grateful.

The best among us

Why are they willing to make those sacrifices? And are we doing enough to protect and honor their commitment?

COMMENTARYBy Danielle Wilson

Today’s my birthday. (Not today, of course. I had to submit this article a while back!). In exactly two hours and six minutes, I will offi-cially turn 39. Yeah, I said it. The big 3 – 9! I’m thrilled to be nearing 40 and I’ve enough self-confidence to let everyone know. Middle age? Bring. It. On.

That was fun. Actually though, I’m writing about something entirely different than a fear of growing older. Yesterday, see, I contemplated not reminding my friends and family that it was my birthday. A part of me wanted to test them to see who really loved me. Kind of silly, I know, but when I imagined the righteous indignation that I would be entitled too if Doo and the kids forgot, I have to admit it was a tad bit alluring. Me, standing in the kitchen, my red hair aflame, tears running down my cheeks . . . I could al-ready feel my inner drama queen rehearsing her lines. The Oscar would so be mine.

But because I have now lived a third of a lifespan, I know better. (Experience and ma-turity are certainly two benefits of surviving your twenties, along with a grocery card and

zoo membership.) I’ve made the mistake of not forewarning someone about an important date before, and it didn’t play out so well. Not only was I disappointed, but said someone felt ter-rible about forgetting. He also felt betrayed that I hadn’t reminded him: “You keep the calendar so I don’t have to!”

The fact is, we all want to be thoughtful and considerate when it comes to celebrating special times with loved ones, but we are also busy peo-ple. Sometimes it’s hard enough to remember to pay the mortgage or to send in lunch money. Worrying about anniversaries and birthdays that only occur once a year is just too stressful.

At some point Doo and I had a conversation about all of this and made a deal. We would always remind one another about important dates, at least a few days ahead of time, and would also clearly lay out any expectations we had regarding that special day. Then everyone enjoys the moment and no little hearts are crushed.

So yesterday I unabashedly prepped my kids. “Whose birthday is tomorrow?” “Yours!” “And what will you give me for my present?” “Peace and quiet!” “And what does peace and quiet en-

tail?” “No fighting, complaining or disobeying!” “Excellent! Now run along, my precious chil-dren. Momma’s gotta plan a shopping spree.”

I also sat down last night with Doo and organized a lunch date. We decided together that a big dinner out would be too hectic and expensive, but an 11:00 a.m. Cheesecake Fac-tory rendezvous would work perfectly into our schedules and budget.

I may not be able to plan for everything that happens today (My twin sister just called to tell me that her morning began with a traffic ticket), but I have at least laid the groundwork for a few pleasant moments, and chances are, I won’t be throwing a pity party come evening. I have also given my family the opportunity to feel good about celebrating my birthday. It’s a win-win situation, at least in these almost-40 eyes (that still don’t need glasses, thank you very much). Peace out.

Hamilton County faces significant challenges in the coming year in spite of an enviable cash position. County Commissioner Steve Dillinger said in his 2011 State of the County Address last Wednesday that, although Hamilton County remains an outstanding place to live, 2010’s budget cuts and possible projected cuts for 2011 could significantly impact services in the county.

“Our financial situation in the county is very stable, but it’s also very challenging,” Dillinger said.

He noted that the county currently holds over $12 million in a rainy day fund and over $15 million in cash reserves. While many coun-ties would envy that position, he said it’s a less favorable position than the one to which the county is accustomed.

In 2010, the county was twice directed by the state to make significant budget cuts. Cuts of $4 million were required in May, and those cuts were made without reducing staff. Then, how-ever, the state came back in the fall and required an additional $7 million in reductions. The total of $11 million represented 13 percent of the general fund budget for the county, and the second round of cuts had a more significant im-pact on the county than the first. Supplies and travel were cut enormously, county employees’ health insurance costs went up in order to lower the amount the county had to pay, and overtime

and raises were eliminated. But those cuts weren’t enough. “The heart-rending thing was eliminating 27

positions on Dec. 10,” he said. “We had a lot of sleepless nights over that because it was the last thing we wanted to do. Even with the cuts, $3 million still had to be funneled from the rainy day fund in order to cover costs.

In 2011, those funds will not likely be recov-ered. In fact, Dillinger said the county’s financial advisor has predicted a possible additional $4 million in cuts.

“Our only alternative may be to cut as many as 40 jobs,” he said.

Those jobs would most likely be in the sher-iff’s department and highway department, but the county would also look at possibly reducing the courthouse operation to four days a week.

“Those are not good alternatives, and they’re not acceptable to us. And we will do everything in our power to avoid them,” Dillinger said. “It is the price you pay for paying lower taxes.”

Westfield Mayor Andy Cook announced his plans to run for mayor at the Westfield Cham-ber of Commerce January, appealing to local business leaders and the business community as Cook seeks to help the growing city find its niche in Hamilton County and the greater Indianapolis area.

After leading Westfield through the initial stages of its transition from town to city, Cook said the decision was one that stemmed from his intensive planning during his term for Westfield’s future, and commitment to eco-nomic development.

“The underlying thing with the Grand Junc-tion, downtown, Youth Assistance Program, and sports park, is all economic development. While the economy has been in recession, we and others did hurt, but it was also a time for Westfield to develop and have plans in place for when the economy does return, which it is about ready to do.”

Now nearly three years into his first term, Cook said he’s ready to help bring the plans for the revitalized downtown, Grand Junction Project, Westfield Youth Assistance Program and sports complex to fruition, and to help design the kind of financial infrastructure and support Westfield needs to continue to grow. Prioritizing restructuring the tax base, primarily so business property taxes become

the source of revenue for the city, would be a major focus of his administration in another term said Cook.

“Our tax base is too reliant on residential property taxes. We need to diversify our tax base,” said Cook.

Moreover, Cook said that in his next term, it would be about making plans to further develop initial plans for the downtown, the sports park, and trails system, and create simi-lar private and public partnerships that have been successful elsewhere in the county. With the announcement of a tenant at the sports park, Cook said this was just the start of what was going to be a revenue maker for the area.

And while Cook is confident that following a smart business plan, and continuing to seek the input of the community is what made his first several years successful, his opponents seem unsure.

In a statement released for his mayoral can-didacy, Russell Cameron said, “I believe that Westfield is at a crossroad. The direction we choose over the next four years will define this city for the following half century.” Cameron cited a loss of “trust” and fair communica-tion to the public while watching the projects coming together, and serving in 2009 on the Township Planning Advisory Committee.

Both candidates will be on the Republican primary ballot in May.

Westfield Mayor to run for second term

Thanks to a visit from officials with the Hon-duras’ National Family and Health Agency last week, international adoptions from the coun-try will soon become much easier for Indiana families.

Last week Director Maria Suyapa and Sec-retary General Ivonne Torres of the INHFA from Honduras visited local adoption firm MLJ Adoptions. The visit to Indiana was a first by officials from the Honduran government and meant to help expedite the adoption process from the country.

Currently MLJ Adoptions in association with JHDJ (Jocham Harden Dimick and Jackson) Law is the only Indiana law firm with adoption rights in the Central American country.

JHDJ Media Specialist Amber Burton Small said the visit will help streamline the process and ease the orphan crisis in the impoverished country.

According to Small there are 143 million or-phans across the world, 7,000 of which are cur-rently in Honduras. The problem, Small says, is that many orphans in the country are undocu-mented and living on the streets, therefore mak-ing it impossible to give an accurate accounting of the crisis.

She said, “In an impoverished country par-ents who can’t care for a child don’t have the resources that American’s do, they might aban-don the child.”

Along with Director Suyapa, the IHNFA is working with MLJ adoptions to fix a govern-ment system that has time consuming flaws. Small said, “Currently every single adoption from the country has to go through a rigid single approval process.”

She added, “By having the Director visit we are hoping that our agency will continuously be approved.”

MLJ adoptions has handled 3 Honduran adoptions in the past year, with 20 more in the approval process. An average adoption from the Honduras takes 9-18 months.

“Adoptions from the country have been tak-ing place, just not in the numbers we would like,” Small said.

During her visit, Director Suyapa met with some of the Honduran children who have been adopted into families in Indiana. Small said, “She is truly committed to the well-being of the country’s orphans. She wanted to see what kind of life the children would have in Indiana.”

Michele Jackson founded MLJ adoptions and is also a founding partner of JHDJ. Jackson has personally visited the Honduras and developed partnerships in the country to help with the adoptions. MLJ Adoptions is a Hague-Approved Licensing Child Placing Agency with inter-country adoptions in the Ukraine, the Demo-cratic Republic of Congo, Nicaragua, Bulgaria, Haiti and the Honduras.

February is American Heart Month and for those with heart health issues, the significance of focusing on the heart takes on spe-cial meaning.

A group exists in Hamilton County focusing not only on the heart, but on those who love someone with heart disease – Mended Hearts.

Mended Hearts is a national nonprofit or-ganization affiliated with the American Heart Association, offering the gift of hope and en-couragement to heart patients, their families and caregivers. Riverview Hospital is the meet-ing point for the Hamilton County chapter of Mended Hearts.

This local chapter of Mended Hearts offers services to heart patients through support group meetings, visiting programs and educational forums. This program is open to anyone in the community including those with heart disease as well as their friends and family members.

Because Mended Hearts is made up of the very kinds of people it serves—heart patients, their families, and others impacted by heart dis-ease, its members draw on personal experience as they help others. Mended Hearts support

groups help people understand that there can be a rich, rewarding life after heart disease.

Members listen, share their ex-periences, learn from healthcare professionals and volunteer to talk to other heart patients about what they may face including lifestyle changes, depression, recovery, and

treatment. Mended Hearts has been offering the gift of

hope to heart disease patients, their families and caregivers for 60 years and partners with 460 hospitals and rehabilitation clinics. More than 21,000 members take part in ongoing programs, operating mainly through 285 community-based chapters across the United States, with two in Canada.

The next meeting of the Hamilton County Chapter of Mended Hearts will be held Wednesday, Feb. 16 from 12 to 2 p.m. and is hosted by Riverview Hospital (395 Westfield Road, Noblesville) in Classroom A/B in the Professional Building, entrance 13. Lunch will be provided.

For more information, call 776-7377. Visit www.riverview.org/ClassesAndEvents for upcoming Mended Hearts group meeting information.

The first steps to bring business around the Grand Sports Park Campus are starting to take shape in Westfield with the announcement that the Lids Indiana Bulls, a top amateur baseball organization.

The move to make the Lids Indiana Bulls’ permanent home a part of the sports complex is the kind of economic development and invest-ment promised by Mayor Cook and the sports commission charged with developing the plan.

“Today’s announcement marks a monumental day for the LIDS Indiana Bulls organization,” said the organization’s President Ken Kocher in a statement. “We are thrilled to be able to part-ner with the City of Westfield on this project because of all the very positive opportunities it will afford our players, their families and this central Indiana community.”

The Lids Indiana Bulls is a nonprofit organi-zation dedicated to helping support outstand-ing high school baseball players interact with both college and professional scouts, receive top notch coaching and help younger ball players reach professional leagues.

While the promise of having an amateur baseball organization is certainly something for entertainment, Cook said the main interest he had was that by having the Lids Indiana Bulls in Westfield; tournaments bringing in 100,000

visitors for the season were of economic interest. “These visitors are coming to Westfield and

won’t just want to be at the baseball game, but will need shopping, hotels and restaurants,” said Westfield Mayor Andy Cook. “This is going to be an industry for Westfield. Westfield makes its money from the area around the sports park, it is important to keep that in mind.”

While the Indiana Bulls are just the initial or-ganization to make the move to invest in the com-plex, the city hopes now that other organization, industry and businesses make the private invest-ment around the park and downtown and trail system between each to bring in economic devel-opment and revenue. It was this first step however that needed to happen for the other development and added the necessary credibility to the project for private investment to happen, Cook said.

In Westfield, some have hotly contested the sports campus project, questioning the invest-ment and how big an impact it would actually have economically. Cook insists however that the investment is a part of a strategic business plan and financially responsible, and over the next few years, these incremental investments will allow for more partnerships in the sports park to develop.

“When the City of Westfield makes investments,” Cook said, “they are made in segments. We intend to show tangible return on our investments and will proceed when we can show that return on invest-ment during each segment of the project.”

While most of Indiana is hearing the sounds of crunching snow and melting ice, sounds from Westfield have gotten a bit more tropical, thanks to a steel drum class offered at Westfield High School.

Twenty-five students are enrolled in the class which is offered once a tri-mester to all grade levels within the high school. Instructor Jeff McLaugh-lin said the class is becoming increasing popular.

Freshman Jennifer Evans said, “I’ve always loved the sound of the steel drums and am glad the school offers it. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play.”

“There is a novelty to it because the steel drums are unique instruments. It makes the course naturally engaging.” McLaughlin said.

Also adding to the appeal of the course is the fact that unlike other mu-sic courses, the steel drums course does not require any prior music experi-ence and is open to all levels. McLaughlin said, “We start with nothing and we end up with kids playing music together that have never played before in their lives. It is amazing.”

The playing of steel pans originates from island of Trinidad, tradition-ally the music is taught orally or by modeling. McLaughlin admits that although it is traditionally taught by ear, he uses sheet music and notes to aid his students.

Half of his students have played some type of instrument before, McLaughlin uses that experience to further his teaching. “Many of the musical skills transfer over to the drums, I rely on those students to be my anchors.” he said.

Freshman Issac Kissel is one of those anchors and has played the guitar in the past. “I like this kind of music,” he said. “It’s a lot different than playing the guitar, but my experience helps me keep up with the rhythm.”

Students have already learned how to play the popular 1960’s song “Wipe Out”, “Under the Sea” from the Disney movie The Little Mermaid, native steel drum piece Tobago and Prelude in E Minor by Chopin. They will perform their work on Tuesday, February 7th at Westfield High School.

McLaughlin and his students hope that the community will come to sup-port the only steel drum program in the county. He said, “To see the students involved in something totally unique is amazing. It’s the only high school pro-gram of its kind in the county. I hope that a lot of people will come.”

The Westfield School District has invested over $30,000 in its steel drum program. “We are blessed and fortunate to have that kind of sup-port, especially during these economic times,” McLaughlin said.

The lengthy process of the Clarian rebrand-ing finally took effect last Monday, as Clarian left their old, red horn logo and name behind to become Indiana University Health.

Clarian’s rebranding process to Indiana Uni-versity began last autumn when the health com-pany announced that they would be changing their name to highlight their longtime partner-ship with the university. Though the name is changing at Clarian North Hospital to Indiana University Health North, hospital leadership says the commitment to quality care won’t.

“I have really notice a pride developing with the people here,” said President and CEO of Indiana University Health North. “I think we feel like a team and part of the larger Indiana University network. This was a decision made for the patients, and at the system level, we have the same objectives for a premier level of care.”

Beyond the new logo and name, Indiana Uni-versity Health has implemented new standards throughout their hospitals, such as uniforms for particular departments, to add consistency be-tween hospitals, and there will be plenty of time spent continuing to adjust to the new name for patients and staff alike.

“In only 5 short years, IU Health North is in

the top 10 percent of hospitals in the country, and our systems and excellent standards go us to that level,” said Goble.

Around the hospital there are new signs, plenty of Indiana University color and a re-newed atmosphere for the mission of Indiana University Health.

Among other changes on the horizon for the Indiana University Health North, one of the potential changes for the hospital is changing the North hospital to a nonprofit, 501c3 status. Currently the Indiana University North and West hospitals are both for-profit, but provi-sions in the new healthcare law are a cause to consider whether being a nonprofit or not. One provision makes it impossible for Indiana Uni-versity Health to expand services and building structure unless they are of nonprofit status.

“We haven’t decided to make the change to nonprofit quite yet, but what precipitated it was a little known provision in the healthcare reform act which prevents for profit from expanding, which prevents us from continuing our growth to serve our community,” said Goble.

Goble said no changes to the nonprofit status will be announced until either later this quarter or later. But with a new name and identity there is plenty to do for now around Indiana University Health.

GRAMMAR By Brandie Bohney

Probably. Should’ve (and would’ve and could’ve). Cavalry. Nuclear. All members of the Mispronounced Therefore Misspelled Club. And because today is the first day of February, let’s induct the second month of the calendar year to the prestigious society of oft-misspelled words.

I have already discussed at length the myriad misspellings of probably, including prolly (my personal favorite), and the tragedy of should’ve, would’ve, and could’ve being spelled should of, would of, and could of just because of the way they sound. Cavalry and nuclear are less-often used, but they’re great examples (remember Homer Simpson: “Nucular. It’s pronounced nu-cular.”). I’ve decided to focus today on February.

February is a perfect example of why pro-nunciation really does matter. How do you say the second month of the year? Feb-yoo-air-ie or Feb-roo-air-ie?

If your answer was the first pronunciation, you aren’t alone. You’re wrong, but you aren’t alone. And if you pronounce February with –yoo- instead of –roo-, chances are good that you’re misspelling it as well as mispronouncing it.

Fortunately for so many Febyooarians, word processing programs are keen to the frequent

misspelling Febuary. Auto-correct on iPhone probably fixes it for you without your input. Of course, auto correct also fixes scores of words that aren’t actually misspelled, so relying on it isn’t such a great plan.

What’s unfortunate, though, is that even with modern technology to guide us through our mispronunciation-based torture of the spell-ing of certain words, most people don’t seem to learn from their mistakes. I still hear people mispronounce February on a regular basis. And unlike probably, the mispronunciation doesn’t even save you a syllable. Unless you’re grossly mispronouncing February (Feb-rare-ie? Feb-ree? Yikes.), it really won’ take any more effort to say it correctly than it does to muck it up.

So this month, let’s all make a February Resolution to pronounce February correctly. It sounds better, it’s worth it, and with any luck at all, it will help you spell it correctly the first time so that you can avoid those pesky red zig-zags under your words. And auto correct would probably change it to febricula or febrifuge or febrility, all of which make me feverish.

February: A victim of mispronunciation-based misspelling

» Airlines boost profits with fewer flights - By grounding planes and eliminating flights, airlines have cut costs and pushed fares higher. Profit margins at big airlines are the highest in at least a decade, according to the government. The eight largest U.S. airlines are forecast to earn more than $5 billion this year and $5.6 billion in 2012. Why? With fewer options, less than one in five seats are empty on domestic flights. Also, airfare is 14 percent higher than a year ago and airlines are now charging for services that used to be free.

Students at Carmel Clay Schools’ Towne Meadow Elementary School were in for a musical treat last week when Grammy nominated singer and the Center for the Performing Arts artistic director, Michael Feinstein, made an appearance during a school wide choir performance.

Towne Meadow Students last fall recorded a few songs from the Great American Songbook available for pur-chase on CD, with all proceeds from the fundraiser sent to several nonprofit organizations across Hamilton Coun-ty. The success of the project was much greater than anticipated and students really continued to enjoy the music, even after the recording was made, an indication for music teacher Andy Himelisk that this was something students were relating with.

“It’s been great for the kids to really build a connection with this music and the history of the time period,” said Himelisk. “The kids have even picked up on some of the language of the music and are using it in everyday speech, like ‘What’s peaches’ from ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’.”

Last Wednesday, Michael Feinstein stopped by to see the children perform their songs, and also answer their questions about music, and perform a few musical num-bers for them. Feinstein is both a performer and music historian, whose nonprofit organization, The Michael Feinstein Foundation, seeks to preserve and educate about the Great American Songbook. Answering every-thing from the schools he attended, what his parents did, and how long he played the piano, Feinstein and Towne Meadow students alike were happy to have the Songbook music being performed.

DISPATCHESINTERIOR DESIGNBy Ashley Phipps

As an interior designer I find a lot of joy in making my house a home. I espe-cially love decorating for the holidays, but I often find seasonal décor sold in stores to be expensive. So I like to find simple, easy and afford-able ways to decorate for the holidays.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, I want to share with you a simple but fabulous item you can create to help decorate for Valentine’s Day without spending a lot of time or money: a Felt Topiary.

You will need: • (2) 3” styrofoam balls• wooden dowel• a pot or metal container of your

choice• ½ yard felt• approximately 80 straight pins• Spanish moss• good scissors• hot glue• brown craft paint and a foam brush

(optional)• ribbon (optional)Directions 1. Insert the wooden dowel into a Styrofoam ball and secure it

with hot glue.

2. If you desire, paint the wooden dowel with brown craft paint and let it dry.

3. Cut approximately 70-80 3”-diameter circles out of felt. (Hint: Trace and cut one 3” circle, then use that as a tem-plate to cut out the remaining circles. These do not need to be perfect. Also, if you cut multiple layers of felt together you will save time.)

4. Fold each felt circle in half, and then fold it in half again. 5. Put a pin through the bottom tip of the felt circle and pin it

into the Styrofoam ball. Continue inserting the felt circles in this manner until the entire Styrofoam ball is covered.

6. Trim the second Styrofoam ball until it fits securely into your pot or metal container. Insert the other end of the wooden dowel into the foam and secure it with hot glue. Cover the Styrofoam with Spanish moss. Add a ribbon. Enjoy!

This project could also be done using any color of felt that you desire to match the décor of your home. And one of my favorite parts about this project is that if you pick a neutral container, you can use this as decoration for other holidays or even leave it up all year long!

I love finding home décor items that are simple to make and look fabulous!

Happy Designing! You can find this and other simple décor ideas at www.sim-

Shine OnLip gloss is one of the most popular makeup products on the market. It has the ability to transform lips instantly into a reflecting pout, and is a staple for women of all ages. Lip gloss is easy to use and provides quick results. It is easy to apply, even without a mirror.While lip gloss is a coveted makeup bag essential, it often lacks the staying power of lipstick. But, if you brush on powder or use a matte lipstick before applying the gloss, you will find that it lasts a lot longer.This season is the perfect time to try a new, glistening lip shade. Whether you en-joy a berry gloss, or something more natural like peach or nude, the makeup artists at Salon 01 can help you choose a shade that is perfect for your skin tone.For more style advice visit our blog at www.salon01.com/blog.

Choose a shade: Gray is an elegant color that goes with anything. Pair gray shoes, a belt or tie with any color suit or shirt.2. Mix it up: Don’t wear the same shade of gray from head to toe. Mixing colors of slate charcoal or heather keeps things interesting.3. Add texture: Patterns and texture keep this color exciting from casual plaids to dressy cashmere.4. Wear with care: Gray leather tends to show stains and dirt more quickly than darker colors, so upkeep is important. Remember to protect your leather items with a spray or wax polish.

REMODELING BY Randy Sorrell

Have you ever had a DIY project go bad? Me, too. Frustration mounts, palms sweat and #@$&!! words fly as I reach for a glass of per-sonal ointment. Here are a few steps to avoid DIY blues and rescue a project gone bad.

1. Research before you start, not at the peak of disaster. There are plenty of on-line resources as well as how to books and generous suppliers. Invest in research.

2. Get a professional contractor on your side and ask for specific steps to take. Offer to compensate them for on-site guidance. Ask questions and take notes. Be grateful and pay handsomely, you may need them again later.

3. Tools. Get the correct ones and rent if necessary. If it calls for a straight-edge spade, 20-pound sledge hammer, plate compactor, laser level or miter saw, get it. And do not buy the cheap ones. The cor-rect tools are essential to avoiding sloppy results and will complete the task more timely than a shortcut will.

4. Take your time, take an Advil and take a knee (to pray). Quality is not a race.

5. Being realistic regarding your talent level is critical. The bummer behind DIY

disaster recovery is that it often will cost more than what you would have spent had you hired a professional initially.

RecoveryLet’s hypothetically say that you need help.

Follow these strategies for a hopeful recovery:1. Take a break. Often a few days off will

cause the issue to seem approachable. Revisit your research and suppliers for troubleshooting ideas.

2. $100. Remember that friendly contractor you bribed in the DIY TIPS phase? Give him a call, admit your state of frustration and plead for grace. Let them know you are determined to finish, but need help. Mention that you can’t wait to compensate them for their knowledge and time. Have their favorite refreshment on hand when they arrive, as well as cash.

OR…punt and hire them.Happy hammering, digging, painting, fram-

ing and happy trails.

REMODELING By David Decker

There is a funny scene in the movie “Sleepless in Seattle” in which a construction supervi-sor (Rob Reiner) informs the architect (Tom Hanks) that the socialite client homeowner – well into a high-end kitchen building proj-ect – suddenly wants an enormously upsized refrigerator.

The change will take out a load-bearing wall causing weeks of delay but the double-wide monster fridge will be able to store party trays.

What some people see in that scene is a fussy homeowner. What I see is an inadequate design process that – from the start – should have been more attuned to the homeowner’s lifestyle and the kitchen’s intended function.

I know … it’s just a movie and I’m not criti-cizing Tom Hanks. But the value of working with a professional designer should be in always knowing what happens next.

Not knowing what happens next is called “winging it.”

People hesitate to spend money on design and instead “wing it.” I’ll grant you, winging it can be exciting but when it involves rebuilding part of one’s home it is a recipe for extra expense, time and frustrations, not to mention short-term headaches and long-term disappointment.

This makes no sense. Proper design allows ac-curate bids and the security of knowing that the money being invested isn’t a gamble. Design is insurance that a home improvement will func-tion well, is on budget, fits your time frame and is what you want.

A homeowner in the movies may be able to say, “I’m not worried about the walls” or time or expense, but in real life, design and project planning set a realistic course for a happy home improvement experience.

Are you ready to take off on building a new kitchen or bathroom? Make sure you know where a unique home improvement is going before launching the project. Winging it is no design for success.

‘Wingin’ it’ doesn’t fly

SPIRITUALITY By Bob Walters

Does our eternal salvation depend on doctrine?

Recall that Jesus was crucified between two robbers (Luke 23:32-33, 39-43), one of whom has ever since been known as “the good thief.” That’s because in Luke 23:42 he said, while hanging on the cross next to our Lord, “Je-sus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

No doctrine, no church, no tracts, no conver-sion, no baptism, no weekend prayer retreats, church golf outings or even mission trips. The good thief simply recognized Jesus for Who He was and what He could do. He professed faith, in so many words, that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God, trusting him as Lord and Savior.

The good thief thus established a relation-ship by expressing the truth, and Jesus gave him paradise. The first human Christ “saved” had faith, not doctrine.

So in light of that, I’m going to go with no, doctrine is not the key to salvation. Salvation has everything to do with recognizing the per-son of Jesus Christ as the son of God. Salvation is about professing the truth of our relationship with God.

A smart friend of mine wrote: “What we call doctrine is in fact how we are related to God the

Father in his Son because of how God came in Christ to bring to us His Kingdom. If we think of eternal life as a doctrine or a statement the message of Jesus is lost, but if I take eternal life as the Father’s gift then there is a reception of a gift rather than having merely an ‘idea’ called the doctrine of eternal life.”

In other words, Jesus, and our relationship with God the Father through Jesus, is real. It’s not just a concept, idea, doctrine, explanation or vaporous opinion. It’s real.

Notice the good thief ’s literal proximity to the body of Christ. We are taught that the church is the body of Christ (Colossians 1:18 and elsewhere), and that it is only by being part of the body of Christ, the church, that we can follow Jesus’ instruction of both equipping ourselves with faith, and sharing that faith with others (Matthew 28:18-20).

So, don’t go it alone; join a church. But Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth,

and the life.” (John 14:6). Like the sign says, “Jesus Saves.” That’s all the doctrine we really need.

Easy Jesus, diffucult doctrines

Bob Walters (www.believerbob.blogspot.com, email [email protected]) figured out years ago you can’t hide anything from Jesus. Confess, repent, worship, try to do better. Above all, have faith.

DISPATCHESFITNESS By Laura Marenco

Everyone these days has some body fat they want to lose. Perhaps it’s those extra pounds following pregnancy that stuck around, or maybe it’s the midlife spreading waste line. It all comes back to making some dietary chang-es, and adding coconut oil to your diet is one way to help drop pounds.

So how can coconut oil help you lose weight? For one, it’s primarily made up of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), also called medium chain triglycerides. Unlike the typi-cal long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) in our diet, MCFAs are easily broken down immediately for use rather than stored. Basically, the MC-FAs from coconut oil produces almost exclu-sively energy, whereas, LCFAs found in other dietary fats produce some energy, but are more likely to end up as body fat.

And because the medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) found in coconut oil are rapidly ab-sorbed for energy, they have thermogenic ef-fects, which subsequently increases metabolism and helps burns your fat stores. One study, published in Metabolism found that the calo-ries burned shortly after consuming MCFAs

were almost twice as high as from LCFAs: 120 calories versus 66 calories. The researchers con-cluded that the excess energy provided by fats in the form of MCFA would not be efficiently stored as fat, but rather would be burned

Also, unlike hydrogenated coconut oils from the past, virgin coconut oil is not hydro-genated and has zero cholesterol. In fact, it’s one of the healthiest fats to have in your diet. It also has other health benefits, such as lauric acid. Lauric acid is documented to have amaz-ing antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal properties.

You can use coconut oil for all frying and stir frying. It is heat stable and has a shelf life of over one year. You can also use it as a direct substitute for butter, ghee, margarine and other culinary oils. When warmed (it needs to be liquefied, it solidifies at 70 degrees) and combined with a culinary vinegar and herbs, it makes an excellent salad dressing.

Coconut oil: The ultimate fat-fighting fat

One study found that the calories burned shortly after consuming MCFAs were almost twice as high as from LCFAs.

HEALTH By Angela LaSalle

According to the American Heart Associa-tion, cardiovascular disease has surpassed all forms of cancer and is now the number one killer of women in the U.S. It is essential that women learn about heart disease, especially giv-en the fact that 64 percent of women who died of a fatal heart attack had no previous symp-toms. Here are some points that you might want to discuss with your physician about your own cardiovascular health.

Know your family history. Share with your physician whether cholesterol issues, stroke, heart attacks or diabetes in your family.

Know your numbers. Women’s cholesterol tends to run slightly higher than men’s, per-haps due to the effect of our estrogens or use of birth control pills. Having low HDL, or good cholesterol, is particularly problematic. High insulin levels, upward trend in fasting blood sugar or blood pressure issues are also important numbers to look at for cardiovascular risks. In fact, 50 percent of patients with type 2 diabetes already have significant coronary artery disease at the time their diabetes is diagnosed.

Make the changes. There is no way to get around the necessary exercise and dietary chang-es needed to reduce cardiovascular risks. Limit-ing processed fats and decreasing sugar is very important, and is getting at least 30 minutes of activity on a daily basis. If your doctor has recommended medications for control of blood pressure, heart rate or blood sugars, it is impor-tant to take your medications regularly.

Know the warning signs. Chest pressure, arm or jaw pain, nausea and shortness of breath that can herald a heart attack or can have a more subtle presentation and feel like heart burn, shoulder or upper back pain. A common symp-tom is fatigue. Needing to sit down or rest after stairs, housework or other day to day activities should prompt you to have an evaluation by your doctor.

Taking the initiative and discussing your risk factors with your doctor can go a long way in the prevention of a broken heart.

BUSINESS By David Cain

I was in New York at a business lunch. The woman I was meeting was discussing items we had to cover and then began to ramble a bit on a tangent. Offhandedly, she mentioned her birthday was Jan. 20, said she would be turning 41 next year – in 2011. She continued talk-ing and we finished the lunch. On my way out of the restaurant, I added her birthday to my phone’s contact list. I’ve got an application on my phone that fishes through my phone’s con-tact list and delivers me a text alert when a date of importance is near. On Jan. 20, I got the alert that it was her birthday.

It was good timing. I just had a conversation with someone at the office about the details of a relationship. How the little things make a big difference. I’ve noticed at the office that it is far too common for people to ignore the details of a relationship. And people you work with can be more than a little miffed if they don’t feel like you care. It’s easy to forget that a big part of car-ing is in the details. For example, saying “thank you” when someone turns in a long night of work. It’s all too common to just think, “That’s their job.” The same thing seems to apply at home. All too often we don’t pay attention to the details of a relationship. We don’t recognize

the small stuff. We don’t show the appreciation and recognition that lets people know we care.

I notice I’m different with my kids and cli-ents. With my kids, I always show a high degree of recognition of their work. I exaggerate the ap-preciation and I recognize every detail. I know their birthday. I know their favorite things. I appreciate that they give their best. I feel like I act the same way in my relationships with customers and clients. I strive to provide special treatment.

I was talking with that friend from the office about how we could all be better at recognizing and appreciating those closest to us – at home and work. Kelly’s birthday was great timing. He worked with her, too, so I sent him a text to let him know he should drop her a note, saying something simple, “Hi Kelly, I think today is your birthday. Make it a great day!” He thought it a joke at first but sent the message. Her en-thusiastic and totally impressed response says it all. There are delights in the details.

WhAT’S IT WORTh

MY OPINION$800K The Gold Standard is a business of-

fering a personalized approach to pur-chasing precious metals. Owner Jim Goens says many potential buyers are skeptical of shopping for precious met-als online. His business allows for the coveted face to face interaction. “A lot of people don’t know how to go about buying precious metals,” Goens said.

Goens recently moved back to central Indiana from Chicago where he worked as a commodities broker specializing in precious metals. “I’m a Zionsville native. I wanted to oper-ate this business near my hometown.” Goens said. The “FREE SILVER” of-fer currently advertised on signs posted in the business’s windows is not phony. Goens says customers should come in and ask their questions, take a three-question survey to receive a free silver mercury dime.

The Gold Standard deals only with actual physical precious metals: gold, silver, platinum and palladium. Those metals can then be quickly and easily positioned into IRAs. The business’s space is on the first floor with a storefront on Range Line Road. During the warm months, Goens says the pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk will be a good means of getting his business’s name out in the community.

HUMORBy Mike Redmond

Once again I am swept up in a fierce love-hate relationship with seed catalogs.

I love browsing through a seed catalog. It’s so full of hope. When the temperature is strug-gling to get above zero and the snow is turning the streets into ski runs, there’s nothing quite like settling into your easy chair, warm and safe, with the Horticultural Wish Book.

Every page is full to the margins with photo-graphic possibility: Perfect red tomatoes, glisten-ing slices of melon, juicy ears of sweet corn. Did I say corn? Porn is more like it. Garden porn.

This is where the hate part comes in, as in “I hate that I live in the city on a lot where the soil is composed mostly of crushed brick, glass, old bones and pop-tops, and I can barely grow crab-grass, much less vegetables.”

This is the curse of having, as one who knows me well recently put it, a rural soul trapped in an urban environment. It should be noted, however, that I had similar feelings when I was a kid trapped in a rural environment. Even at that tender age I knew that seed catalogs were a come-on, a wink and a promise, designed to lure gardeners into spending too much and, as a result, expecting too much. Perfect, crisp, juicy? In your dreams, maybe. In reality you were probably looking at misshapen, rubbery and bug-eaten.

Well, my reality, anyway. I wasn’t a very good

gardener back then. I’m still not, but I have arrived at a solution, which I’ll explain in a minute.

Part of the problem in kidhood may have been my attraction to the most unusual plant varieties. Blue potatoes, black turnips, char-treuse cauliflower -- if it was weird, I wanted to grow it. The stranger, the better -- which, I realize, is simply a case of the produce reflecting the producer.

Seed catalogs give us license to dream, to indulge that trapped rural soul, to imagine the world as it will be in a fresh, warm spring. Of course, it also allows us to forget just how much work is required just to grow a decent salad, but remember this is garden porn. We’re not dealing with reality.

And that brings up the solution I mentioned. If you have the same problem you can do as I did and get a job working for a produce farm, showing the place to visitors and telling them where their food comes from. Someone else does the actual work and you get to be outside in the fresh air and warm sun. Plus you get re-ally good vegetables at the employee discount.

No blue potatoes, though.

Battling the allure of seed catalogs

HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie

He was sound asleep on a bench in the mid-dle of the Orlando International Airport—head slumped over, legs draped over his carry-on bag. Normally, I wouldn’t have given him another thought. Goodness knows, I have always boast-ed of my own daytime slumbering ability.

What made this dozer unique was his loca-tion: inside a four-foot-by-four-foot Plexiglass enclosure. I began tapping on the window, convinced he was a living statue, the kind you see at street fairs. It was, in fact, a sculpture by Duane Hanson, simulating what plagues many a sojourner: fatigue and boredom.

Sacking out in airports has become epidemic. There’s even a Web site, sleepinginairports.net, with tips for people who get stuck overnight be-cause of cancelled or delayed flights. The Snazzy Napper is the newest solution for all of us who have desperately sought to find a flattering way to position our torsos while sleeping either at the airport or in our seats aboard the aircraft. Now you can scrunch and contort any humiliat-ing which-way. Snore, drool and scratch to your heart’s content. Why? Because the Snazzy Nap-per will effectively protect your identity.

It’s really nothing more than a colorful cloth that fully covers your head and neck, like a

burqa—admittedly not the most inconspicuous garb at airports nowadays. The Snazzy Napper has one hole for your nose or, if you have a cold, you can insert your mouth there. You also can place your eye or ear in the aperture, but you will probably suffocate, a minor design flaw ca-sually referenced on the warning label.

Many people are singing the praises of this invention on the Internet, but there are always critics. One woman is threatening a lawsuit, not because it didn’t work, but because it did: She caught some great zzz’s, but her purse, iPhone and carry-on luggage were all stolen while she snoozed, and they could be spending the rest of their lives in Tahiti.

One unhappy customer let her husband try it on in the car first, but they missed their flight, having lost precious minutes convincing a police officer that the two them were not on their way to a bank heist. Another guy was annoyed that the product did not come with a more complete set of instructions, the very reason he keeps re-turning his tube socks to Kmart.

Bo is a one-year-old male black and white Border Collie/Shep-herd mix. Bo is an active and veary out-going boy who loves to romp and play. He can play fetch and he would make a great jogging partner or excel in agility competition. Bo is house trained and though he is good with children, his energy and enthusiasm may be too much for younger children to handle. He does well with other dogs, but he will need a home without cats. Bo loves toys, especially balls, so he hopes his new family will have lots of tennis balls for him.

Kong is a five-year-old female black and white DSH. Kong is a gorgeous girl with beautiful gold eyes and sweet and gentle personality. She is a petite girl, only weighing 7 pounds, so she will easily fit on anyone’s lap. Kong really enjoys human companionship and she would make a wonderful low-main-tenance pet. She is litter box trained and qualifies for the PAWS Program – Part-nering Animals With Seniors.

Pets of the week

» Sleeping with pet brings disease risk – Sleeping with and “kissing” your animals puts you at risk for some seri-ous medical problems, according to “Zoonoses in the Bedroom,” a study published in the February issue of the CDC journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. The study shows that staph infections, plague, meningitis have been spread to people by animals. Ap-proximately 60 percent of all human pathogens could have been transmitted by an animal and more than 100 of the 250 zoonotic diseases identified come from domesticated pets.

-www.msnbc.com

» Laser pointers frustrate cats? – La-ser pointers, popular and inexpensive toys used by many cat owners, are said to be very frustrating for these pets, says Jackson Galaxy of littlebigcat.com. “Successful play therapy sessions provide satisfaction on all levels of pre-dation, which means not just stalking, but catching and ‘killing’ as well,” he wrote. “When the pointer is used as the sole toy, the cat never actually catches anything. It may be amusing to us to watch them run around and around in circles, but remember, in the primitive cat mind, they live for the entire hunt, not just one aspect of it.”

DIsPAtChesPetsBy Gregory Magnusson

So, here’s the story. In 1740, an outstanding French horse-man named Claude Bourgelat received his warrant as the Grand Equerry (horse guy) of France and was made Direc-tor of the Lyon Academy of Horsemanship. The Academy at that time was a school where young noblemen learned the equestrian arts and swords-manship, together with mathematics, music and “elegant manners.”

Bourgelat was a scientist at heart. Over the next 20 years, he studied horses from a unique perspective. His stroke of genius was the con-cept of “comparative pathobiology,” the then-daring suggestion that studying animal biology and pathology would help to improve our understanding of human biology and pathology. He studied dissection techniques with local hu-man surgeons and taught himself the anatomy of the horse.

Fortunately for us, Bourgelat also was a writer.

Through over 250 articles, he documented his findings and discoveries about animal biol-ogy, and all aspects of horse care. He became an internationally known writer, and pretty much single handedly invented the science and study of veterinary medicine.

In 1761, King Louis XV decided that it would be a good idea to promote the preven-tion of cattle disease, the protection of grazing land, and the training of farmers. Bourgelat was the natural choice to head this project, and on Aug. 4, 1761, an order of the King’s Council authorized Bourgelat to “open a school in which

the principals and methods whereby livestock diseases may be cured will be taught in pub-lic,” and the Lyon Veterinary School was created.

This year marks the 250th anniversary of that order, which started not only veteri-

nary education, but also the veterinary profes-sion itself.

Our profession has been serving humankind for 250 years. Modern veterinarians are not only animal doctors and animal welfare advocates. They also are key public health stakeholders because of their crucial role in promoting food security and quality, controlling the spread of disease from animals to humans, biomedical research, and protecting the environment and biodiversity.

As the official Web site for World Veterinary Year 2011, www.vet2011.org states, “the entire world should join with us in celebrating our veterinary profession, which has been working to improve both animal and human health for the past 250 years.”

Basically, we’re in charge of not only keeping your cats and dogs healthy, but also keeping the world’s food supply safe, learning how to keep you healthy by studying animal biology, and keeping you free of exotic animal diseases.

So yeah, you’re welcome! Hug a vet today!

2011 is World Veterinary Year

Dr. Magnusson, a practicing veterinarian for the last decade, is now the owner of Leo’s Pet Care, a new veterinary hospital located at 106th and College. Contact Dr. Magnusson at [email protected] or 317-721-7387 (721-PETS).
