It is our position that the state of Indiana is losing valuable income as a result of its failure to adequately enforce laws requiring residents to purchase Indiana plates for all automobiles. Although Indiana’s budget is much healthier than many states, we can ill afford passing on any lawful opportunity for revenue.

Office parks, manufacturing facilities, and even one’s neighborhood host numerous vehicles with out-of-state plates, often expired! Collective-ly, the loss of revenue from these vehicles denies the state much-needed tax dollars, all the while shifting the burden to law-abiding citizens.

State law requires residents to register vehicles and purchase plates within 60 days of moving into Indiana. Likewise, we must secure an Indiana drivers license within 60 days. Failure to secure these represents a violation of the law, a loss of revenue to the state and a hindrance to law enforce-ment and other officials. No one likes taxes and fees. Yet the current financial situation is causing hardship for all, and “overlooking” these viola-tions may seem harmless to some, but we citizens of Indiana are the losers. Officials must step up enforcement. And if we are unlawful, we must make an effort to find remedy or face the consequences.

Fair share Representative It is our position that a healthy dose of skepti-

cism is warranted whenever a person or group purports to represent a broad demographic. No large collection of people, whether defined by race, religion, geography, social status or other such crite-rion, can possibly possess unanimity in opinion on any topic, yet too often we see a person or organization advance a position on behalf of an entire group.

Sometimes it is simply the loudest voice that drowns out the nuances of opinion within a group. Given his claims, does Al Sharpton represent the views of all African Americans? Does Rush Limbaugh speak for all con-servatives? Other times, a formal association is used to advance a position that is not shared by all members. Many senior citizens join AARP for the discounts that come with membership, but disagree with its advocacy of ObamaCare and other matters of its political agenda.

The media often facilitate this phenomenon by falling into the easy trap of defining the opinions of an entire group by the positions ad-vanced by the most vocal of its members. We, as consumers of media and thoughtful participants in the democratic process, must be alert whenever it is claimed that “a group” thinks “this way.”

Every week, we will print a por-tion of the U.S. Constitution, fol-lowed by a portion of the Indiana Constitution. We encourage you to benchmark government policies against these bedrock documents. Today: the Indiana Constitution.

Section 10. Selection of Justices of the Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals. To be eligible for nomination as a justice of the Su-preme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals, a person must be domiciled within the geographic district, a citizen of the United States, admitted to the practice of law in the courts of the State for a period of not less than ten (10) years or must have served as a judge of a circuit, superior or crimi-

nal court of the State of Indiana for a period of not less than five (5) years.(History: As Amended November 3, 1970).

Section 11. Tenure of Justices of Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals. A justice of the Supreme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals shall serve until the next general election following the expiration of two years from the date of appointment, and subject to approval or rejection by the electorate, shall continue to serve for terms of ten years, so long as he retains his office. In the case of a justice of the Supreme Court, the electorate of the entire state shall vote on the question of approval or rejection.

I’ve written before about the absurd amount of time I spent as a teenager shutting down horseplay poolside with my lifeguard’s buoy and whistle.

For so many summers, this week would have marked the opening of the pool. And this summer is no different. Unfortunately, swimming season was ush-ered in this year by a near drowning on the Southside.

For capable swimmers, being in water feels perfectly natural; we can forget how dangerous it actually is, and how quickly that danger can appear. It can only take an unexpected gulp of water, or a jump into a too-deep pool, to send a child or unskilled swimmer into a panic. This holds true for adults as well, who can be espe-cially problematic as their struggles inhibit or endanger lifesaving efforts.

My goal is not to create a fear of the water, but to encourage parents to enroll their kids in swim lessons, and let adults who might not be as comfortable in the water know it’s never too

late to learn. I’ve had students who were still in swim diapers, and I’ve had students with AARP memberships, and all of them were fully capable of learning to swim. Swimming is great exercise, even well beyond the age where land-based ac-tivities may be too much, and it’s fun, too.

While I’m on the subject, if you get a chance, consider taking a CPR class. The aforemen-tioned near drowning was diverted from total tragedy by the efforts of someone at the party who performed CPR on the unconscious swim-mer. It’s an important skill to have, and along with swimming, one of the rare subjects I’m willing to get up on my soapbox about.

That being said, I think we’re all due to enjoy some nice weather. Maybe I’ll see you by the pool.

Stay safe pool side

Editor,I wanted to comment on the May 24 editorial

titled “ Coyote infestation.” I was very disappoint-ed to see someone who is clearly ignorant on coy-otes got an article on page three right at the top.

Coyotes are not responsible for going around killing dogs. They eat mice and rabbits and help keep the ecosystem in balance. Without them, we would have rodents everywhere!

Coyotes are not aggressive by nature. They do not go around attacking people or pets. Most people will rarely see them, and if you do, they run from you.

Sometime a “coydog,” which is a domestic dog/coyote mix, will exhibit more agressive tenden-cies, but this drives the point for people to again be responsible pet owners and not leave their dogs un-neutered/unspayed. Also not leaving pets out at night unattended is smart. Suggesting coyotes be relocated is purely ignorant and ridiculous! We have moved into their habitat and need to be respectful. The fact that they are so resilient is credit to what amazing animals they are! Thank you for your time.

As our government continues to push toward yet another temporary tax fix, we can all rest assured the issue is not resolved. Sure, a bill will be passed, and there will be great congratula-tions and chiding from all sides. Some will take credit for assuring the continuance of pet federal programs, while others will celebrate success in stemming the tide of run-away spending.

But isn’t this debate continuing? Don’t we routinely push and pull to support our own per-spective on how and when to use our resources? In times when our collective revenue is down (gov-ernment rarely makes any money, but instead takes a share of that which it facilitates and we earn), the issue of allocation may be exacerbated. But it remains ever present even in times of great abun-dance. So if the debate over immediate needs and wants is recurrent, when do we address the more overarching issues? Can we ever consider the long-term and the short-term contemporaneously?

In our own family, we struggle with the bal-

ance between what we give, what we buy, what we invest and what we save. Immediate needs so often seem to dominate more thoughtful con-sideration of building a purposeful future. With the harvest, we risk over committing, then face shortfall when the seasons change.

So many of us plan retirement, mortgages, college loans and any of an array of moves ever expecting the sunshine to remain, yet rain does fall Ohers never enjoy the blue skies hiding in-doors, expecting storm clouds. There have been times when we’ve raised our collective family “debt ceiling.” A new home, auto or business can easily require the hit. But there are, likewise, times when we retire debt and hold back, in spite of abundance, to refill the coffers. And so the debate rages and the perfect answer eludes.

Elusive balance

We all knew this was coming, and now it’s almost here. As Orange Barrel Season con-tinues its annual bloom around these parts, we’re calling for an extra measure of serious patience as the 126th Street bridge span-ning I-69 is closed next month so it can be rebuilt. Soon after the last of the fireworks have created a sulfuric delight in early July, the road across the interstate will be shut down as part of a $7.6 million project. Is it a pain in the neck? Certainly, it is. Must you exercise “serenity” as the state and town make the thoroughfare safer and better for all? Certainly, you must. Should you be planning your personal detour? Certainly, you should. Now, before we all know it, order will be restored and a spanking new span will help you get to and fro, presum-ably by mid-November. Oh, also watch for occasional lane closures below the site on the highway. Fishers is kicking in about 20 per-cent, and the rest of the dough comes from the Indiana Department of Transportation, which manages federally doled-out funds. Improved infrastructure is the end game. Watch for it to be helpful to you.

• • •Congratulations to all the recent high

school graduates in our midst. While some departing students may view the pomp and circumstance as a long, boring affair, the rest of us might tend to get a little choked up at this rite of passage. Our “future,” for the most part, is headed off to college, where, we hope, the foundation will continue to be built upon so that they may become part of a great next generation. There remains so much to achieve, so much to accomplish, so much to repair. Our generation isn’t necessarily getting it done. The future is yours, grads. Own it!

I go to the grocery store at least twice a week, sometimes more. And on average, I spend about a hundred bucks per visit. Six to seven gallons of milk, five boxes of cereal, two bunches of bananas, yogurt out the wazoo, bread, snacks … you get the picture. The point is, I know my way around Meijer, and I have my grocery shopping down to a fine art. (“I work in dairy the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It’s my true medium. A master.”) Many of you, however, do not. So, in a moment of selfish kindness, I have listed below my steps to an ef-ficient grocery experience.

1. Have a list. This is Grocery 101 here, people. You have to have a list of the things you need or want in order to maxi-mize your budget and shopping trip. This is both to prevent you from buying things not on the list (impulse purchases like Pringles and beef jerky) and to ensure you get everything your family deemed impor-tant enough to actually write on the list. Usually it’s the stuff you don’t know about − husband’s razors, daughter’s deodorant, cat’s food, etc., − essentials that you will most definitely hear about when forgotten.

2. If you patronize superstores, park at the non-grocery end of the lot. You can usu-

ally find a better spot, and the check-out lanes at the retail section tend to be less crowded. You’ll also feel smarter.

3. I shouldn’t have to mention this, but I realize I am dealing with some amateurs here: Always park as close to a cart cor-ral as possible. (And if you’re pregnant or have small children, take advantage of the “Expectant Mothers” spots!) This saves time and energy during the cart-to-car transfer and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Start at the back and work your way to the front (or left to right in a horizontally laid-out store). This prevents backtracking and usually puts you in the opposite direction of inefficient and inexperienced shoppers, whom you must avoid at all times. Pre-tend they are zombies.

5. Only use the self-check line if you have less than 10 items and 75 percent of those are pre-packaged. You are not a profession-al cashier! You do not know from memory the scan code for radicchio!

6. Never get in line behind women over the age of 30 (unless it’s me). I’m telling you straight up, this is one area where men actually have it down. They purchase less, never use coupons, and usually pay with cash. I think it’s because they don’t want

to be there, so they are trying to get out as fast as possible. Me likey!

7. Choose your cashier carefully. Ideally, you want a male. They chit-chat less and can easily be intimidated by your feminine wiles should a discrepancy arise.

8. Sort your goods on the conveyor belt into these categories: cold and frozen products, boxed goods, cans and jars, produce, and smooshables like bread and chips. This allows your male cashier to scan and bag more efficiently, and ensures that dairy and meat purchases stay colder longer. (Doo always teases me about this when-ever I allow him to tag along, but just this weekend I had a cashier actually thank me (right in front of Doo) for my anal reten-tive organization and confirm that this technique does, in fact, speed up check-out. It was a delicious moment for me.

So there you have it, good people of central Indiana. Now go forth and shop efficiently! Peace out.

Current in FishersPresident and CEO Steven Libman an-

nounced Thursday the Center for the Perform-ing Arts has received a pledge of $1 million by a donor that wishes to remain anonymous. The donation will be given to the Center over several years.

“Our donors are excited about the mission of the Center for the Performing Arts,” stated Lib-man. “They wished to give an anonymous gift. We want to publicly thank them and show our gratitude. Their gift is an investment in the arts and our region’s quality of life.”

The Center is funded by a combination of government, foundation and private contribu-

tions. Revenues from concessions, venue rental and ticket sales will provide operational support for the Center’s three venues.

The Center for the Performing Arts includes the 1,600-seat Palladium concert hall, the 500-seat proscenium Tarkington Theater (opening in August) and the 200-seat Studio Theater (now open). No other facility of its caliber exists in Central Indiana, where the Center will be a permanent cultural resource for the region and a major destination. In addition to offering an extraordinary listening experience, the Center will also be home to Michael Feinstein’s Great American Songbook Collection.

Current in FishersThe Fishers Town Council officially appoint-

ed Interim Chief Steven Orusa to the position of Fishers Fire Department Chief at its May 31 meeting.

Orusa has been interim chief since May 19th, following former Chief Ken Lay’s resignation. He was deputy chief of the Fishers Fire Depart-ment for more than a year, having served previ-ously as assistant fire chief of the City of Beach Park, IL.

“We are delighted to officially and perma-nently appoint Steve Orusa as the new Fishers Fire Department Chief,” said Fishers Town Council President Scott Faultless. “Chief Orusa is a dedicated 25-year veteran firefighter and exemplary professional. His experience and dedication are an asset to this organization, and we look forward to the accomplishments of the fire department under his leadership.”

Orusa oversaw a full-time department of 117 members in the City of Waukegan, IL. He has held additional positions as Training Officer, Flight Medic, Dive Team Rescue Leader, Haz-ardous Materials Teach Member, Director of Fire Academy, and Terrorism Task Force Unifies Command Instructor.

“I am humbled by this opportunity to serve our community and our fire department,” Oru-sa said. “Together, we will promote leadership focused on service to our community and the men and women of our fire department.”

As deputy chief of the Fishers Fire Depart-ment, Orusa led the creation of a post incident analysis program to improve safe and effective service delivery by examining past performance. He also created an incident management team;

some of whose members will be serving on the team managing the Super Bowl in 2012.

Chief Orusa has a B.S. in law enforcement administration and did his graduate work in human resource management. He is a published author with his most recent work being “Dive Rescue Specialist: Operational Training for Public Safety Divers,” which was published in September 2007.

Chief Orusa has provided analysis on pub-lic safety diving for USA Today, Fire Chief Magazine, Fire Engineering Magazine and Dive Training Magazine. He has also appeared on MSNBC, Fox News and CNN to provide ex-pert analysis on water rescue disaster response.

tive Dan Burton shared about his very personal experience as a child abuse survivor, donors contributed nearly $24,000 at the Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast held last month.

Burton served as keynote speaker for the breakfast and shared his personal story of child abuse at the hands of his father. WTHR Com-munity Affairs Director Angela Cain shared her own perspectives from her “Shatter the Silence” series as the mistress of ceremonies.

“Congressman Burton’s story of survival was powerful validation for why Chaucie’s Place exists,” said Chaucie’s Place Board President and Hamilton County Board of Commissioners Director of Administration Dan Stevens.

Founded in 2001, Chaucie’s Place is a nonprofit organization that serves families in Hamilton County by providing a neutral, child-friendly environment where a comprehensive interview takes place in cases of alleged child

molestation, abuse and neglect. The center’s staff aims to reduce trauma to child victims while improving the quality of evidence gathered by members of the multidisciplinary team.

COMMEntaRYBy Susan Bryant

When my children were babies, I remember the pediatrician recording their heights and weights meticulously every visit on their growth charts. As they steadily went up the curve, it seemed like a solid indication that I was do-ing something right as a parent (even though I knew babies are pretty much just programmed to grow.) Talking with other new mothers, we couldn’t help but compare notes on who had the longest baby, the heaviest baby, etc. You got a secret thrill if your child was “excelling” at height or some other trait attributable to genet-ics, but nevertheless, hopefully reflected on your parenting skill.

From then, the bar was set to whose child was already sleeping through the night, had mastered potty training or was an early reader. Heaven forbid the other toddlers were walk-ing already and your kid could be used as a doorstop.

Although my kids are older now, not much has changed. I can’t help but be made aware of the many achievements of children all around me. Driving around town, bumper stickers tell me who is the proud parent of a cub scout, an honor roll student and a D.A.R.E. Gradu-ate. I saw a web site recently poking fun at this phenomenon by selling “achievement” bumper stickers for adults that read “Got off the Couch” and “Went to Work”. It does makes you wonder what motivates us to announce our accomplish-ments so publicly. (Thank you for advancing the cause Twitter and Facebook.)

I think kids inherently know, unless we con-

vince them otherwise, what true achievement means. If you’ve earned a real trophy, being handed one for merely participating doesn’t feel the same. Every minor accomplishment that results in a gold star diminishes real effort and hard work.

I’m all for fostering esteem in children. I drank the Kool Aid long ago about how critical it is to develop this make or break trait early and often. And I hope I’ve done a good job of it with my kids. It feels like the holy grail of good parenting. But the line between self esteem and self promotion is getting fuzzy.

Trying to encourage the attributes of mod-esty and humility is an uphill battle when our culture so often embraces a “look at me” phi-losophy. Kids emulate the elaborate touchdown celebrations of their favorite athletes. The more outrageous a reality show “star” is the more at-tention they receive. And attention seems to be what we’re after. When we do witness someone being humble, it’s so noteworthy and refreshing because it seems unusual.

We’ve done a good job in our culture promot-ing self esteem in our kids. Being proud of one’s abilities and accomplishments is a good thing. Our challenge as parents is to balance that trait with the equally important qualities of modesty, humbleness and humility in our children.

We have to live with them you know.

Teachers and staff from Fishers Elementary School on Tuesday presented the Fishers Fire Department with three new pet oxygen masks for use on fire department ambulances.

Funds were raised through a $5 donation staff members made to wear jeans once a month. Collected money was then donated to a different organization. Invisible Fence Brand’s “Project Breathe” was the recipient for May. The project seeks to equip every fire state in America and Canada with pet oxygen masks, which allow firefighters to give oxygen to pets who are suffering from smoke inhala-tion when they are rescued from fires.

“We realize that humans are the first prior-ity, but in many cases, pets can be saved if fire-fighters have the right equipment,” said Brad Bennett of Invisible Fences of Central Indiana. “Project Breathe is simply a way of giving fire-fighters the tools necessary to save pets’ lives.”

Fire department officials called the masks a “blessing for Fishers.”

“In a lot of cases, the humans are out safe,” said Ron Lipps, deputy fire marshal. “It’s the animals that can’t get themselves out. It would be a shame to be in a situation where we could have made a difference and not have the

masks.”The idea to donate to “Project Breathe”

came from Fishers Elementary School Princi-pal Patty Mansfield.

“We wanted to show our kids that not only do they do service projects, but their teachers and staff do as well,” Mansfield said.

For more information about Invisible Fence Brand’s “Project Breathe,” visit http://www.invisiblefence.com/O2/.

Before there was the Town of Fishers, there was the Ambassador House.

The original two-story cabin which would become the Ambassador House was built in the early 1800s. It was on what now is the north-west corner of 96th Street and Allisonville Road, and sat there as a largely unremarkable dwelling until Addison Harris and his wife, India, took up residence at the turn of the century. Harris was the U.S. ambassador to the Austro-Hungar-ian Empire, now part of a number of European nations including Romania, Serbia, Austria, the Czech Republic and Croatia.

fishers’ first lady

Addison Harris’ work gave the house its name, but it was the zeal of India which gave it its spirit. India was a passionate art lover, and one of the founders of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Her court dresses now hang in display in the museum’s textile collection.

For Fishers artist Pam Newell, who served both on the board and as the executive director of the Ambassador House, it was India’s story that struck the most poignant chord.

“She went to law school, but wasn’t allowed to sit in for the bar (exam),” Newell said. “And yet, she did so much. We think that Fishers doesn’t have a lot of history, but she was in-volved all over.”

India’s portrait was painted by famed society portraitist Cecilia Beaux after the death of Addi-son. That painting now hangs in the Indianapo-

lis Museum of Art, along with her dresses.

“I think that history needs to be kept alive,” Newell said. “India wasn’t just con-nected in Indianapolis. She knew what was going on in the world, and she brought it to the community. It just seemed right for that to carry on.”

saving a piece of history

Only a day before a scheduled demolition in 1996, the Ambassador House was rescued by the Fishers Historic Preservation Committee and the Historic Landmarks Foundation. The house was cut into two pieces, and relocated to its current location in Heritage Park at 106th Street and Eller Road.

In the 13 years between the building’s rescue and its official reopening in 2009, extensive work was put into researching the history of the house and the Harrises, and into surveying the community to decide what the house should eventually become. As well, the house itself had fallen into startling disrepair.

“It was a barebones structure,” Newell said. “The lathe and plaster was completely gone. It was a skeleton of a place, with a lot of potential.”

Newell said that survey results found Fishers residents craving arts, music and culture. She added that she thinks the Ambassador House is in a position to do that.

Newell herself will be offering a lecture on June 16 at the Ambassador House beginning at 6:30 p.m. She will be demonstrating pastel painting, and discussing the current Indiana art scene.

This year marks the rollout of several new pro-grams for the Ambassador House, including the Wedding Belles Bridal Showcase, which was held in March, and a Harvest Wine Tasting coming in

September. A full schedule of events can be found online at www.ambassadorhouse.org. Addition-ally, the Heritage Gardens are available to the public as a natural space for community or busi-ness events, and there will be gardening lectures offered throughout the summer.

Still, while she’s excited about all of the activ-ity at the Ambassador House, Newell said the history is what she remains the most passionate about.

“The house is just a shell,” she said. “It’s the stories that are within the house that are so meaningful.”

gRaMMaR lESSOnBy Brandie Bohney

When my older daughter was an infant, I was picking out tile at a home improvement store with her when a kind elderly gentleman stopped to tell me what a beautiful child she was. She was – and still is – a beautiful child, and I was flattered except that the man kept referring to her as a boy: “What a darling little guy,” “He’s so happy,” and so on.

Normally, determining the gender of an infant can be hard: most babies look like some combination of Winston Churchill, Yoda, and a boiled chicken. But clothing can provide an important clue, and on this particular day, my daughter was wearing a purple shirt with pink and green flowers on it and pink, green, and purple-striped pants. Very girly.

In much the same way, most of the time, nouns are good at showing their plurality. Of course, just as in the case of the kind man at the hardware store, some people are going to screw them up anyhow. But in general, they’re pretty obvious.

But what about the nouns clad in green or yellow? You know what I’m talking about: spe-cies, ethics, dominoes, measles. What are they? Singular? Plural? Both?

Unlike the baby wearing an ambiguous color, these nouns aren’t one or the other. They’re

both. There are a few types of nouns that have the same form whether they are singular or plu-ral, but both forms appear to be plural because they end in –s.

The trick in using these stubborn nouns cor-rectly is simply in knowing whether you mean to use the word as a singular or a plural. For example, measles is singular when referring to the disease but plural when referring to the spots on one’s body.

Measles is a viral disease.Drew said his measles were itching.In the case of ethics, when referring to the

study, it’s singular. When referring to moral principles, it is generally plural.

Ethics is a challenging major.The boss’s ethics are questionable.And so on. As with so many word-specific

issues, if you aren’t sure, look it up. It only takes a moment to check the definition online or in a handy pocket reference dictionary (everyone has one of those, right?), and it’s better to be certain than to be wrong.

Is it singular or plural?

New Britton Elementary School teacher Audrey Gunder-sen has been selected as Cur-rent in Fishers’ Marco’s Pizza Teacher of the Month for May.

Gundersen is a 19-year veteran of the Hamilton South-eastern School District. She teaches 4th grade at New Brit-ton Elementary School.

“She’s really nice,” said fourth grader Tyler Melser, who nominated Gundersen for the award. “She doesn’t treat us like babies, and sometimes she’ll do math experiments with M&Ms.”

Gundersen, a Carmel native, lives in Nobles-ville with husband Eric, daughter Haley and son Nick. Her husband also works as a teacher at Noblesville High School.

“I find the whole school year rewarding, from the first day to when they leave,” Gundersen said. “We have our challenges along the way, but we work through them.”

With nearly 30 students in her 4th grade class, there are a lot of opportunities for stress.

According to her students, though, Gundersen doesn’t let them get to her.

“She doesn’t like to get mad,” said Sam Zain-ey, a New Britton 4th grader. “She likes to be on her nice side.”

“Fourth grade chose me, and that’s what I’ve been teaching for almost the whole time I’ve been here,” Gundersen said. “I love this age group. I love these kids. I love what I do. It’s so much a part of me.”

Gundersen is the final Marco’s Pizza Teacher of the Month for the 2010-2011 school year. The program will resume in August along with school.

New Britton’s Gundersen named teacher of the month» Healthy students – A record 113 Indi-

ana schools have received the 2010-2011 Indiana Action for Healthy Kids Healthy Hoosier School Award, among them several from the Hamilton Southeastern School District. Through the Healthy Hoosier School Award, schools receive a Gold, Silver or Bronze level for creating a healthy school environment. HSE schools which received awards were Fishers Junior High School (silver), Fishers Elementary School (bronze), Riverside Intermediate and Riverside Jr. High School (bronze).

» Education reform – A report released by the National center on Education and the Economy concludes that the U.S. education system is neither coherent nor likely to see improvements based on its current attempts at reform. The NCEE re-port lays out a comprehensive agenda for education reform, including less-frequent standardized testing, a funding-equity model that prioritizes the neediest stu-dents, and greater emphasis on the profes-sionalization of teaching.

» Beware of ‘meat glue’ – Ground beef contains the meat from hundreds of animals from different parts of the world, but the same can be true for prime cut steaks. That’s possible through the use of so-called meat glue, used to “super-glue” small chunks of meat together that are too small to sell, and passing it off as prime cuts. Meat glue is an enzyme called transglutaminase. Some are produced through the cultivation of bacteria, while others are made from the coagulant that makes blood clot. Reports show that the bacterial contamination of meat glued steak is hundreds of times higher than a solid piece of steak, and this practice is used in chicken and lamb, too.

Has it been a long week at work? A tough day at home? Ever wish you had a temporary escape? A place you could go to relax and play with the family and forget about work for awhile? An escape where the faces that greet you are smiling and are glad you’re there? Just imagine it. It’s within your reach, and all for less than the price of a latte a day.

The Monon Community Center has an Escape pass for every household and a destination for every mem-ber. Escape passes include unlimited access to the entire, modern facility in-cluding: a gymnasium fea-turing three full size courts, indoor pool with lap lanes and slides; a fitness center offering cardio, weight machines and free weights; the KidZone—childcare with a tree house, and one-eighth mile, indoor track, and outdoor water park featuring five pools. Household passes include group fitness classes, which cost a nominal additional fee for adult or senior escape passes.

We often hear the question: “Why can’t I buy just the fitness center or just the pool? It’s the only part I use.” Let us help you expand your escape, try a new workout space, get in the pool, head outside and zip down a slide.

Escape passes pay for themselves in less than one visit per week. Unlike many private fit-

ness facilities, there is never an enrollment fee for the Monon Com-munity Center. You don’t need to be a resident of Carmel either. Our com-munity atmosphere and great pricing are open to anyone.

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation and the Monon Community Center look forward to guiding your escapes this summer and for years to come with a commitment to environ-mental, social and economic sustainability. Come see what we have to offer and unwind/explore/escape with us!

Escape passes make fun and fitness accessible

Staying Ahead of Fibroids with an Annual Exam

Ladies, your annual exam may not exactly be a time of the year you look forward to, but it’s still important. Annual exams are the best way to detect health issues before they become serious problems.

One such issue is fibroids — the most common benign tumor in women. Fibroids grow in the uterus, and most often affect women of reproductive age. Symptoms include:

• A feeling of abdominal fullness• Bleeding between periods• Urinating more frequently• Heavy menstrual bleeding• Pain with intercourse• Periods that last longer• Bad cramping with periods

One in five women has fibroids, but if detected early, they can be easy to treat. So don’t wait. Start your summer worry-free with an annual exam.

For more information about fibroids, visit 3384HER.com, or call our free, 24-hour nurse advice line at 317-388-4-HER. You can also schedule an annual exam with an Ob/Gyn at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast at 317-415-9010.

We all know germs are everywhere. It’s why many of us are extra careful in places like public restrooms, city buses or our local gym. But it may surprise you to learn that germs also share a space where you spend most of your day — your office.

While you’re putting in those extra hours, germs are working overtime right alongside you, hanging on to your phone, clinging to your keyboard and resting on your mouse. And they work hard, too. Flu organisms can live up to 7 days on most surfaces.

“The elevator button, the copier button, even an ink pen someone has dropped can harbor bacteria,” said Mary Webber, Infection Preventionist at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast. “We carry organisms on our skin all day long, and they can be left behind on anything we touch.”

There are some things you can do to keep your office space clean and avoid germs, such as wiping down the handset

and keypad of your phone with antibacterial wipes, cleaning the keys of your keyboard and avoiding communal candy bowls around the office. But your best defense against the unwanted co-workers is good personal hygiene.

“Always be aware of where your hands are and what they’ve just touched, “ said Webber. “Simple things like covering your mouth with your arm when you cough and washing your hands regularly can go a long way.”

The reality is that a lot of germs end up where they do because of us. And as long as we’re around, they’ll be around. As Webber suggests, the best way for you to be conscious of germs, is to be conscious of yourself.

“You can’t control what someone else is doing with their hands. But you can control what you do.”

We all know germs are everywhere. It’s why many of us are extra careful in places like public restrooms, city buses or our local gym. But it may surprise you to learn that germs also share a space where you spend most of your day — your office.

While you’re putting in those extra hours, germs are working overtime right alongside you, hanging on to your phone, clinging to your keyboard and resting on your mouse. And they work hard, too. Flu organisms can live up to 7 days on most surfaces.

“The elevator button, the copier button, even an ink pen someone has dropped can harbor bacteria,” said Mary Webber, Infection Preventionist at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast. “We carry organisms on our skin all day long, and they can be left behind on anything we touch.”

There are some things you can do to keep your office space clean and avoid germs, such as wiping down the handset

and keypad of your phone with antibacterial wipes, cleaning the keys of your keyboard and avoiding communal candy bowls around the office. But your best defense against the unwanted co-workers is good personal hygiene.

“Always be aware of where your hands are and what they’ve just touched, “ said Webber. “Simple things like covering your mouth with your arm when you cough and washing your hands regularly can go a long way.”

The reality is that a lot of germs end up where they do because of us. And as long as we’re around, they’ll be around. As Webber suggests, the best way for you to be conscious of germs, is to be conscious of yourself.

“You can’t control what someone else is doing with their hands. But you can control what you do.”

History Will Be Made

By Scott Raychel Current in Fishers

The Fishers Freedom Festival returns for its 23rd annual run June 25 and 26. The festival will return with all the features and attractions it has become known for, and this year will see its newest addition to the festival.

The “Trick Out My Playhouse” competition is a friendly competition in which three local builders will each build a unique, wooden play-house to go on display at the festival outside the Community Health Network Business Tent and Free Game Tent.

While on display, the public will be able to vote on their favorite playhouse. The winner of the competition will receive a trophy. The playhouses will also be put into a silent auction, where the community may bid on them for a chance to take one of the playhouses home. Vot-ing and bidding will continue until 2 p.m. on the Sunday of the Freedom Festival.

Proceeds from the silent auction will benefit

the Roy Holland Backpacks for Kids program, the Fishers Police Department D.A.R.E pro-gram, local scouting units, youth organizations, and college scholarships given to youth based on volunteering and community service.

The playhouses will be constructed by teams representing the sponsors for this event, which are Hoover Custom Builders, Oliver Construc-tion, and Sky Diamonds Construction, Inc.

I love that it is finally warm enough outside for popsicles and ice cream! There is not much better then sharing a popsicle with your children, or a friend outside on a warm day.

But when you are looking for something a bit more “upscale” than popsicles, ice cream is a favorite alternative. And it is actu-ally my preference. I love ice cream!

And if you decide to have an ice cream party to cool off in the middle of the summer like I just might do, here is a fabulous way to serve your ice cream: in homemade chocolate waffle bowls!

Homemade chocolate waffle bowls are so easy to make and absolutely delicious! They are soft and just a bit chewy, and they are a great compliment to any ice cream!

(And yes, these can be made without an expensive waffle cone maker!)

CHOCOLATE WAFFLE BOWLSIngredients:• 1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate• 2 tbsp. butter • 2 whole eggs • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1/2 cup granulated sugar • 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:1. Preheat a pan with a flat bottom on a medium-low

temperature.

2. Place the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Stir to combine then set aside to cool for five minutes.

3. Beat the eggs and salt in a small bowl with a fork until well blended. Beat in the sugar until sugar is incorporated and the eggs have light-ened in color slightly, approximately one minute. Stir in the melted chocolate and butter. Add the flour and cocoa powder, stirring slowly until all flour is moistened. Beat another few seconds to incorporate the flour and remove all lumps. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter in the center of the pan. Working very quickly, spread until thin. Cook on both sides.

5. Immediately place the chocolate waffle, into a small bowl to form its shape. Leave in the bowl until it cools completely.

6. Enjoy with ice cream!

» Pros, cons of engineered wood – Engineered wood floor-ing is best for easy installation with the warmth of wood. This veneer over substrate can usually be nailed, stapled, glued or floated. It often can be refinished once. But, it can be damaged by spills. Many types wear relatively quickly and can be dented easily. Average price: $5 to $10 per square foot.

» Pencil it in - Opt for eye and lip pencils over liquid liner and lipstick. Their waxy formulas resist dissolution on damp skin; plus, lip pencil under gloss makes the shiny layer last longer by giving it something to adhere to, says Chantel Miller, senior makeup artist for the MAC Pro Team. For super budge-proof color, look for waterproof formulations. Try Ur-ban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye and Lip Pencils ($18 each, Sephora), and store them in your fridge. The cold solidifies the wax for easier sharpening and application.

» Suit rules for men – 1. The jacket always outranks pants, shirt, and tie; the busier the pattern, the plainer the rest of your outfit should be. 2. You can wear a wool blazer all year-round; a good linen blazer, especially in a dark shade, is ideal for warm-weather office wear. 3. Sometimes if you’re canny, the jacket of a bold patterned suit — say, in a strong windowpane — works as well with unmatched pants as it does in the suit.

COMMENTARYBy Sue Faulstich

As the school year comes to a close and neigh-borhood pools open, many families’ thoughts turn towards exotic getaways. Whether you choose a one-tank trip to Turkey Run or a 14-hour flight over the North Pole to Shanghai, as you explore a place so different than your own, don’t hesitate to take advantage of that cul-ture’s local artisans. Many homeowners are happy to learn that treasures found abroad can easily be incor-porated into their existing decor.

A young urban couple once returned from a trip to India with two-dozen decorative tiles, intending to install them on the backsplash of their new kitchen. After expressing to these cli-ents that installing these tiles is a rather perma-nent treatment, we consulted a local framer and discussed the option of displaying their interest-ing souvenirs as art instead. These framed tiles are now prominently showcased in the couple’s home office. From this experience, they learned to keep an open mind when collecting art and accessories while traveling.

A different client of mine, an original art collec-tor, who travels regularly for business all around the world, is constantly on the lookout for local artists and street vendors selling their pieces. He

has purchased items such as a South American woodcarvings and Asian silk embroidery.

It is frequently assumed that the framing to finish works like these needs to be stylized to represent each subject matter; however, keep-ing the framing neutral allows one to display a multitude of cultures in one living space. A con-

stantly growing collection of foreign and domestic treasures displayed in its simplest form allows one the freedom to rearrange these pieces as they wish throughout their home.

I would suggest to a client not to pass up

a unique piece found on a trip just because they think it may not have a place in their home. While on vacation, if you fall in love with a piece of art or an accessory item, keep in mind that with a creative, yet subtle, finishing touch you will be able to enjoy it for years. Satisfac-tion to an interior designer is a home adorned with pieces that have meaning to the homeown-er. These items keep the memories of trips, large and small, fresh during the less-traveled times.

Keep your mind open while on vacation

» Five good Euro stocks? – Nomura Equity Research has six banks in its European rec-ommended portfolio, five of which trade on U.S. markets. Three are large, diversified regional institutions: UBS (UBS), BNP Pa-ribas (BNPQY.PK) and Lloyd’s (LYG). The others are Bank of Ireland (IRE) and National Bank of Greece (NBG). The last two choices have declined by more than 80 percent and 70 percent, respectively, since Nomura added them to its portfolio in December 2009. You’d be crazy to bet the rent money on them, but if you’ve got money set aside for speculation in the market, then these and the others on the list seem like good candi-dates for a piece of it.

Five months ago, the sector started picking up, adding over 100,000 jobs in December and January, according to data compiled by ADP, a payroll processor. In April, however, businesses with fewer than 50 employees added 84,000 jobs, down slightly from the 100,000 jobs added in March, according to ADP’s most recent report from early May. The positive hiring numbers suggest the sector is strengthen-ing slowly after getting hard hit during the recession.

COMMEntaRYBy Ryan Fuhrmann

During the next couple of years, the International Monetary Fund predicts emerging economies will grow nearly twice as fast as developed ones. It predicts the fastest growth will occur in developing Asia, with China and India leading the way, and projects average growth of 9.6 percent and 8 percent in those countries over the next two years. This trend is nothing new, and emerging Asian markets were mostly unfazed during the credit crisis.

Given Asia is where most of the world’s eco-nomic growth is likely to occur in the coming decades, here are three stock picks to take ad-vantage of this phenomenon.

Banking giant HSBC is based in the United Kingdom and counts on Asia for a third of its sales and more than half of its profits. It bills it-self as the world’s local bank, serving 95 million customers with branches across Europe, Latin America, and parts of the U.S. It got burned during the financial crisis by buying a subprime lender in the U.S., but is recovering. It trades with a low price to earnings (P/E) of 11 and has an appealing dividend yield of 3.5 percent.

MetLife used to primarily be a U.S. life insurer but added Asian exposure by purchasing the AL-ICO division from beleaguered insurer AIG. Like

HSBC, it is a giant financial institution and serves 90 million customers in 60 countries, with 30 per-cent of its total premiums now from overseas and focused on Asia. Its P/E is even lower at less than 9 and its dividend yield is decent at 1.7 percent.

As unlikely as it sounds, car giant General Mo-tors is the market leader in China with a market share of more than 13 percent. China and Asia, in general, still make up a small percent of sales, but a leading position in what is now the world’s largest auto market could eventually start to make a big contribution to overall sales and prof-its. GM is a play on the global auto market, and with a P/E of less than 8, global economic recov-ery, and rapid growth in Asia, it could see solid stock gains in the next couple of years.

Playing in the financial space and cyclical automotive market is not without risk, but the above players should see solid gains in Asia in the coming years. If all goes well, it should even-tually result in higher stock prices.

Three stock picks geared toward Asia

COMMEntaRYBy Barry Eppley

Liposuction remains the most rapid way to lose unwanted fat, albeit a surgical one. While it is ideal for those people who have made every effort to lose on their own through diet and ex-ercise, not every fat area responds the same. Some fat areas are more difficult to lose than others, and certain fat areas can not be re-duced at all except in the face of extreme weight loss. It is these non-metabolically responsive fat areas that justify liposuction intervention.

One of the very good questions any prospec-tive patient should ask is, “Will my fat return?” There are many urban myths, but science and a lot of patient experience provides the following insights.

Fat will not return after liposuction. This is patently false. The reality is fat can return. The results from liposuction are closely aligned with your weight. If your weight stays the same years from now, then so should the result. Fat after liposuction can return just as easily as after weight loss.

If fat comes back after liposuction, it will go to other body areas. This is sort of true, but not to the extent of what was originally removed. A recent published study showed fat suctioned from the stomach and thighs of women created some slight increase in measure-

ments in the arms and upper back a year after surgery. But not to the ex-tent that the women noticed or were bothered by it.

Fat cells are permanently de-stroyed by liposuction. This is not true. Those fat cells that have been suctioned out are permanently re-

moved. But there are always lots of fat cells left behind, as you cannot, nor would you want to, remove them all. While the fat cells left behind may be damaged, they have a great ability to heal and regrow. Because it has been discovered that fat sites have the highest amounts of stem cells in the body, and stem cells can be easily stimulated to grow and transform into fat cells, liposuctioned fat sites are not immune to recur-rance. This may be different with the current use of Smartlipo (laser liposuction), where the heat from the laser energy can cause more fat and stem cell damage.

Despite the effectiveness of liposuction to re-duce unwanted fat, the long-term success of the procedure is highly dependent on the lifestyle habits of the person on whom it is performed.

» Onion skins for good health – Recent research confirms that the outer skins of on-ions provide an exception-ally rich source of plant compounds called flavenoids, especially the pow-erful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound,quercetin. Quercetin is under study as an agent for lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, fighting allergies, reducing inflammation, enhancing muscle growth and function, treating depression, some forms of cancer, and other conditions.

» Sleeping myth – Some people swear that quick naps make them sleepier, but a snooze that’s less than 20 minutes should perk most of us up. Just 10 to 20 minutes is all you need to boost alertness, performance and mood. A nap of 20 minutes or longer, though, may leave you groggy when you wake up, as the brain enters what’s called slow-wave sleep at this point.

» MSG linked to weight gain – A study of more than 10,000 Chinese adults found that those who had the highest consumption of foods rich in monosodium glutamate had an almost 30 percent increased risk of becoming overweight compared with those who had the lowest intake of MSG-rich foods. Re-searchers reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that those who ate more MSG had higher production of leptin, which plays a role in appetite and metabolism regulation.

» Eat right days before training – A sports nutrition article from Iowa State University states that it’s not just the pre-exercise meal alone but the meals you eat in the two to three days before you exercise that fuel your muscles. So it’s important to eat high-energy meals a couple of days before serious train-ing or an event (track meet or basketball game, for example). Within two hours before exercise, try a high carb/energy drink or fluid replacement drink. If you have less than an hour before activity, just have water or a fluid replacement drink. During an event, go for water, and don’t bother with energy drinks—they don’t increase performance for exercises under 90 minutes.

DISPatCHES



HUMORBy Mike Redmond

Summer is here, hooray, which means it is time once again to light the grill and once again experience the Grand American Tradition of food ritually immolated over an open fire.

Cooking outdoors, of course, is Man Cook-ing. This is because all American Men over the age of 18 believe they are born with a special Outdoor Cooking Gene that gives them power over combustible substances, such as charcoal, LP gas, and really cheap hot dogs.

Because they are nice people, women let us have this conceit. The truth of the matter is any-one can be a perfectly competent grill cook, but women stand aside and let men think they are born to it, mostly because it’s just so entertaining.

Here in Central Indiana, the most popular items to grill are steaks, chicken, burgers and brats. For the sake of clarity, grilling brats means cooking sausages, not interrogating the smart-alecky neigh-bor kids you suspect of demolishing your mailbox.

Of course, the more advanced grillers such as moi are more adventurous in the foods we victimize. I mean select. We might opt to cook a duck, or a leg of lamb, or vegetables, or fruit, or even pizza on our grills.

Anyway, here is a short list of non-barbeque-able foods you newbies might want to avoid:

• Cheese.• Pasta.• Peas.

• Pie.Don’t ask me how I know this. I just do, OK?

Which brings me to another important sug-gestion: Always make sure you have the proper cleaning equipment around. Not only will it re-move the bad-idea food residue, it will go a long way toward cutting down on that pesky pto-maine poisoning by ensuring you always have a safe cooking surface for the food you ruin.

Yes, I said ruin. Let’s take a steak. This should be simple. You take a slab of meat, put it over the fire, cook it a short while, turn it over, cook it some more, and then eat it. Easy, right? No. The trick is timing.

All properly timed outdoor grilled steaks are juicy, tender and cooked to the diner’s prefer-ence. The other 99 percent are either Pittsburgh rare (black on the outside, raw on the inside), or ready to be made into sandals.

Ah, but enough negativity. Let us think in-stead of the glorious summer days ahead and the manly thrill of food on the grill grill. Oh, and don’t forget the cheap hot dogs. Yes, they’re inedible, but they make terrific fuel for your Tiki torches.

But skip the peas. Trust me on this.

‘Man Cooking’ nothing more than a myth

HUMORBy Dick Wolfsie

Just when you thought you’d never get a good night’s sleep again … just when you were con-vinced all those over-the-counter medications made you more dopey than drowsy, here come Lazy Cakes, the coolest thing to happen to brownies since the ’60s.

Lazy Cakes are like Ambien CR in a chewy chocolatey square with a layer of fudge in the middle. The product, sold at convenience stores next to 5-hour energy drinks, Slim Jims and bu-tane lighters, provides a mega-shot of natural herbs that the manufacturer claims will result in the best snooze of your life. The Lazy Cakes package is em-blazoned with a cartoon brownie called Lazy Larry, whose drugged-out smile suggests the same thing I was talking about in the first paragraph.

The major ingredient is a sleep-inducing sub-stance called melatonin, a chemical that is produced naturally in your body, but apparently not nearly enough at night and too much when you are at the 2 p.m. staff meeting or in church on Sunday.

There are some major concerns about this new product. Toxicologists report, for example, that in the USA last year there were 5,000 melatonin-related calls to the poison center. In another study, scientists claim the ingredients in Lazy Cakes that make you nod off quickly may be detrimental to women who are trying to con-ceive. Ya think?

Of course, there are blogs for consumers who, once they can crawl out of bed, want to share their Lazy Cakes experience. “I ate one while I was watching TV and it made me so sluggish I didn’t even want to grab the remote,” wrote one man. Lazy Cakes may be this year’s most popu-lar item in Dad’s stocking.

One woman claimed she threw a Lazy Cakes party and everyone indulged: “All our bodies went limp. We closed our eyes. There was yawn-ing, then snoring. Suddenly, we were on our way to bed at 10 p.m.” This sounded like last New Year’s Eve with my wife and our closest friends. Except we all ordered bread pudding and four regular coffees.

Personally, I’m not a big chocolate fan. So, I’ve also drafted a letter to my friends at Cracker Bar-rel asking if maybe they could spike their roast chicken with a little melatonin, a smidgen of rose hips, some valerian root, and a hint of passion flower, all proven to give you heavy eyelids.

One final note on melatonin from the New England Journal of Medicine: “After frequent consumption, it will stop working.” And so, by the way, will anyone who takes it.

Having your cake … and sleeping, too

Beauty, lifespan and versatility are three great virtues of hardwood flooring.

Knowing what kind of wood flooring is avail-able, and what to put where, maximizes those virtues.

Hardwood flooring comes in two basic types: solid and engineered. Solid is just what it says – solid strips of hardwood usually three-quarters of an inch thick. Engineered hardwood looks exactly like, well, hardwood, because that’s what it is, but “engineered” (manufactured) like high-quality plywood.

The veneer (surface you see) on engineered hardwood flooring can be sliced from tree stock like solid flooring, or rotary peeled, which cre-ates dramatic graining.

The functional benefit of engineered flooring is its stability, being far less susceptible to the ef-fects of humidity because it is cross-grained and glued. Not quite as thick as solid wood flooring, engineered flooring is strong in every direction and can be cut into wider planks for a modern and elegant look. Narrower strips give wood flooring a more traditional and busy feel.

Solid wood tends to swell, warp and “gap” between boards in high-humidity environments; therefore it is not something normally installed in a basement or on a cement slab. Engineered wood has several cross-patterned layers glued together, which limits its movement and expan-

sion/shrinkage with the seasons. Solid wood has a lifespan of 100 years or

longer because it can be sanded and refinished, usually up to three times. Engineered flooring can last from 40 to 100 years depending on the thickness of the veneer and can also be sanded and refinished.

Cost, installation and overall value of solid wood vs. quality engineered wood flooring are more or less equal. You’ll want to talk with a flooring professional to determine what best accommodates your needs, but the decision resides in the application, taste and heart, not so much the pocketbook.

Plentiful and renewable in nature, wood pro-vides a hypoallergenic and easy-to-clean surface that doesn’t harbor mold, mites or microbes.

It’s easy to count the ways hardwood is a great flooring choice.

My passion for incredible outdoor living spaces is my father’s greatest gift to me.

Born in the mid ‘70s when BTO, Foghat and Aerosmith rocked, the hidden passion brewed with our forced visits to Mounds State Park, Kilbuck and Shady Side to do the things families do at parks: run trails and attend fam-ily reunions. It surged in 1980 as dad, Crooksy and I shared stories on our Anderson inter-pretation of a brick charcoal grill station and arched concrete patio while burning hamburg-ers at 3 a.m.

Fast forward several decades and a few ca-reers later, and we find ourselves participating in an American revolution of outdoor spaces. Cocooning, grilling, fire pits and outdoor fun-ning are major popular – and I’ve never been popular before.

One of the most gifted landscape / design / funning firms in town is Pro Care Horticul-tural Services steered by Lowell Rolsky whose silent, yet confident leadership is a direct influence of his father, Mort. Dad founded the company in 1972, and it progressed hand-somely until Lowell released his creative juices and advanced their firm to one of the area’s most admired. With a fresh perspective, he tells me, “There are no great jobs, just great customers”.

Mort passed away in 2004 (four years af-ter my father) but not before witnessing the fruits of his stewardship, which fueled Lowell to choose the green industry as his talented profession. Lowell became amazed with the opportunity to create something from nothing. He realized, long before the masses, that an in-credible outdoor living space can dramatically affect the lives of others. And he loved working with his father.

A plaque outside Pro Care’s door honors Mort with words like founder, mentor and unselfish encouragement. Great words for a great man.

Rebecca Stevens is executive director of the Humane Society for Hamilton County . You may contact her with questions, solutions and story suggestions at [email protected].

Brewster is a 6 year old male golden Corgi mix. Brews-ter is a very outgoing and active boy who loves to run and play. He is also very intelligent and has managed to teach himself to become an escape artist, so he will need a fenced in yard but will need to be supervised while outside. Brewster is house trained and knows some basic commands and he also very affec-tionate. He is best friends with his brother, T-Bone, and they are very attached to each other and will need to be adopted together and they would be best suited in a home with children age 10 or older.

Frost is a 2 year old male brown tabby DSH. Frost is a friendly guy who is just thankful to be alive after being found in the middle of the road with a broken and frozen tail. He was brought to the shelter in mid-January and was dehydrated and emaciated so he received immediate medical atten-tion. Frost has been in a foster home re-covering from his injuries, gaining some weight and he is now healthy and ready to find his forever home. He has become quite personable and really enjoys attention and having his head and chin scratched. He also enjoys a soft blanket, regular meals and the safety of being an indoor cat.

PEtS OF tHE WEEKCOMMEntaRYBy Rebecca Stevens

Did you know that on any given day, the Humane Society for Ham-ilton County houses anywhere from two to three times more cats than dogs? The spring and summer months are the most challenging for the shelter, as the kittens begin to arrive in droves. That’s why we are pulling out all the stops to make it easier than ever before to adopt a fe-line companion.

For starters, we have flat out elimi-nated Thursdays from our workweek. Effective immediately, every Thursday is now a “Purrsday,” which means all kitten and adult cat adoption fees will be discounted by 50 percent. That’s just $37.50 to adopt the feline of your choice, which includes their spay or neuter, microchip, at least one round of vaccines and 30 days of pet health insurance. Not too shabby!

And for the month of June, which is National Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month, we’re doing something we’ve never done before. Kittens are typically the most popular among our adopters. What many don’t realize is great benefits come from having an adult cat to show a new tot the ropes.

So with every kitten adoption in June, you can also take home any adult “cat nanny” at no charge! Your nanny cat will help

reinforce proper litter box behavior and mentor your new kitten like only another cat can. Now, we can’t guarantee your cat nanny will have an English accent, but we do think he or she will help your new kitten score an A+ as a wonderful new addition to your home.

We are counting on our communi-ty to come to the aid of the Humane Society for Hamilton County and decrease the population of unwanted, abandoned and abused cats and kit-tens in our care. These innocent ani-mals are depending on your kindness and willingness to give them each a second chance. In fact, at this very moment, there is a paw reaching out of a cage or kennel whose only hope is that you’ll be there on the other side.

For more information on animals available for adoption, please visit our Web site at www.hamiltonhumane.com.

Thursdays are now ‘Purrsdays’

We are counting on our community to come to the aid of the Humane Society for Hamilton County and decrease
