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

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

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

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

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

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

COMMEntaRYBy terry anker

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

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

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

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

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

Hate the sinner?

One wonders if a portion of the desire to deflect

comes from those figures seeming disproportional propensity to transgress.

Cell phone bluesCOMMEntaRYBy Danielle Wilson

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

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

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

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

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

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

Westfield Farmers Market is embracing the dog days of summer with Pet Night at the market.

Although pets are always welcomed at the market, Sept. 2 is a special event catered towards animal lovers and furry friends.

Farmers Market Direc-tor Amber Willis said from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. visitors will be able to watch K-9 athlete dogs undergo training and watch The “Agility Dogs” perform.

“We like having Pet Night where we can bring in extra pet vendors such as groomers and rescue agencies,” Willis said.

From the Heart Rescue, a cat rescue agency, owner Peggy Hodges said Pet Night is an opportunity to educate people about spaying and neutering. She said she hopes the Friday event will encourage people to adopt one of the agency’s once-abandoned cats; giving the pet a second chance for a loving home.

“Lots of animals need help and they need

homes,” Hodges said. “Rescued animals make wonderful pets and adopting them can save their lives, they just need a chance for people to give them a second look.”

Hodges said her passion for animals inspired a life-long dedication to saving them and opening her own rescue agency in 2004.

“My parents always made sure we had ani-mals to love and care for, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for sav-ing animals.”

Westfield Farmers Market, located at 130 Penn street, and Hamil-ton County Humane So-ciety encourage Pet Night visitors to bring dog and/or cat to donate to the Hamilton County Pet Food Bank. Greyhound

Pets of America, Indianapolis and Petco will also be introducing adoptable pets at the market.

Former Penn State and NFL quar-terback Anthony Morelli and his wife, a former Penn state shooting guard, is creating a uniquely-designed fitness en-vironment inspired by their passion and athletic expertise into a business.

“[My wife] and I love sports. We’ve been playing our whole lives and we want to share that with the general public and local athletes,” Anthony said.

Anthony, who was offered 48 college scholar-ships in high school, and Adrienne Morelli are the athletic driving force behind their new fitness facil-ity, X-Factor Fitness on Alpha drive in Westfield.

Anthony, a former NFL, UFL and Arena Football League player, said he’s trained all over the world for sports. He said opening the facility is an opportunity to apply his lifelong athletic experience to helping athletes and the public achieve their fitness goals.

“We didn’t want to open a common gym. We want a personal connection with our clients, get to know them, get to know their families and under-stand their goals to make them happen,” Anthony said. “We don’t train people to sit on a machine, we develop workout plans specific to each person.”

Co-owner Adrienne, who has two small

daughters with Anthony and she, said her 2-year-old daughter had an impact on their decision to stay in one. Anthony was traveling back and forth from his team duties in Pittsburgh to Hamilton County for time with his family. Adrienne said the hardest part of Anthony’s grueling sched-ule was its impact on their daughter.

“She’s a daddy’s girl and it was really hard on her,” Adrienne said. “It was especially hard watching her miss him so much.”

Now that Anthony is living in Hamilton county full-time with his family, the couple- who met a college grocery store in college said it was time to share the fundamentals they’ve learned with athletes and people aiming for increased fitness Westfield, a city dedicated to developing a strong sports base.

“I hope we have a big role in the heart of athletes. We love athletics -it’s what we’ve always known- now that we’ve been there and done that we want to do it for others.” Adrienne said.

Anthony and Adrienne instruct Lift 4 Life (boot camp) every Sunday at their new location for beginners at 10:30 a.m. and advanced exer-cisers at 9:30 a.m.

A coffeehouse, music and some comfort-able couches may be a setting for a relaxing afternoon, but for kids involved in Student Im-pact it’s a setting where their lives have been changed.

Student Impact of Westfield is an organiza-tion designed for stu-dents looking for more in their lives.

Executive Director of Student Impact of West-field Danyele Easterhaus said she’s witnessed how the program helps kids turn a past lifestyle into a new and positive per-spective of what they can do with their lives.

“I’ve seen amazing things happen in stu-dents’ lives,” Easterhaus said. “These kids come in, trodden down and feeling like the world is tumbling down on them. You slowly see a transformation, they be-gin to believe in themselves- they learn how to find strength and where they can find it.”

Easterhaus said Student Impact of Westfield is a homey environment, located on North Union Street, for volunteers to help students with homework and be part of their lives. The

organization also provides breakfast for the organiza-tion’s participants at West-field Middle School.

Easterhaus served as a Westfield Student Impact board member for three years before accepting the director position in June. She said it’s an organiza-tion that wants to teach kids how to give back to the community that helps them.

“We provide a non-judging environment that focuses on community and teaching participants about serving others through volunteerism,” Easterhaus said. “It’s a safe place to hang out with adults who want to help the kids and want to be

with them.”For more information Student Impact of

Westfield and volunteering opportunities visit their website at therockwestfield.org.

The voices of Westfield High School cheer-leaders are heard echoing across crowds of fans and football players plowing through turf for a touchdown, but their smiling enthusiasm for leading school spirit and their tireless dedication to their community is brighter than the twin-kling Friday night lights they perform under every week in the fall.

Although the 44 girls, united by Head Coach Beth Ellis, spend their Friday nights injecting doses of energy into crowds, their passion for volunteering and academics is what puts the team in a different light. The team, ranked fourth in state, is breaking down the stereotype of the sport they said is an honored opportunity to serve their community and uplift the spirits of those around them through volunteerism.

Ellis has been a Westfield resident for 16 years and cheered in high school. Although Ellis said her cheerleading team didn’t have the same vision she has for her team, the mother of two said she wanted to coach a program that made her cheer-leaders think outside of their daily lives.

“Teens in general can be focused in their own lives, it’s important to exercise their knowledge and to know what’s going on around them. I’ve been purposeful about our focus with volunteer-ing in Westfield. Every Friday night we cheer ‘We are Westfield.’ That’s who we are, we are Westfield.”

The team regularly is involved in four vol-unteer organizations, and frequently volunteer to help at community events while balancing schoolwork, after-school jobs and succeeding as a competitive team.

Junior Caitlin Raftery said volunteering, whether it is leading cheer clinics for children, packing backpacks for Open Door’s Back to School Supply project, painting children’s faces at Westfield Farmers Market or volunteering for PTO events, is what propels the team and motivates it.

“We get our energy from volunteering, we can help people, and I think that gives them a boost and it makes us feel better to know we can be role models,” Raftery said. “We’re not just cheerleaders, we’re people who want to help other people and balance our lives with our community.”

Westfield Farmers Market Director Amber Willis said the team’s enthusiasm to be part of the Friday night event and the girls’ uplifting presence left its mark. Willis said she asked the girls to volunteer for one night, but they later asked if they could volunteer all season.

“We could rely on them to be there every week for the entire season painting kids’ faces, they made families excited, and they made chil-dren excited. My 3-year-old son would ask me during the week if it was farmers market day

so he could have his face painted.” Willis said. “Their dedication made the market something kids look forward to every week.”

Willis said it was their selfless dedication and their willingness to not quit that made them stand out as true leaders.

“We had some extremely hot summer nights at the market. I’d ask them if they’d like to go home, but they wanted to stay. We told them they could ask for donations while painting faces and they said they wanted to be there as volunteers. Here they were on [scorching-hot] Friday nights not making a penny just so they could be part of their community.”

Senior Tori Hansen, a 4.03 GPA senior stu-dent who works as a lifeguard and teaches cheer lessons to children, said spending her summer Friday nights volunteering was exactly what she and her teammates wanted to do to start their weekends.

“Giving is the only feeling you need to have fun, that’s where we get our excitement and our happiness, from giving back and seeing the kids excited and happy,” Hansen said.

The team of high-achieving teens has more to balance than the stunts you see them perform on the field. Several members also cheer for a competitive squad at Speed Athletics, play other sports and work afterschool jobs. Their ability to balance hectic schedules while achieving academic excellence proves there is brain power behind those ponytails.

The 2011 football cheer team’s se-niors have an average GPA of 4.01 and the entire team has an average GPA of 3.5. 40 percent of the team has a 3.8

GPA or better.Beth Ellis, a former teacher, said academics

come first and are the most important part of their lives.

“My cheerleaders are students number one,” Ellis said. “I make a conscious effort to show cheerleading isn’t the only thing in their lives. Cheerleading is part of what they do and part of who they are.”

Cheer parent Tim Campbell said his identical twin daughters, both have 4.0 GPAs, and their teammates are eliminating the cheerleading stereotypes.

“They volunteer and they excel academically. They’re interacting with their community and with that interaction they’re showing they’re not

bobbleheads,” Campbell said. “They’re building a tradition to set positive examples and serve their community and younger generations as role models.”

Ellis said watching the girls embrace volun-teerism and take initiative in their community is a “blessed opportunity” and exactly how she wants to redefine cheerleading.

I want the girls to be equal parts cheer and leader,” Ellis said. “Competing and hitting a liberty in a stunt is important for the sport part of cheer, but there’s so much more to being a leader. I want them to lead with kindness and compassion, to be a group of young women with character. I want them to leave high school as a valuable citizen no matter where they go.”

Westfield juniors and identical twins, Jamie and Jessica Pippenger, have been cheering since kindergarten. They have embraced Ellis’ ef-forts to instill the importance of being a part of something bigger than themselves, something even bigger than their team.

“Cheerleading is supposed to bring a com-munity together and not just in a team or on the field, Jessica said. “There’s more beyond the uniform we put on every Friday,” Jamie said.

The girls said they are a family and it unites them to use teamwork to support each other to succeed in all areas of their lives and what makes the moments they share fun.

“We’re being a family, we’re spending everyday together and pushing each other. We’re sharing experiences and that’s something we’ll carry with us when we’re older,” Allison Bell said.

Director of Open Doors Sandy Kershing said Westfield cheerleaders have made their back-to-school program successful for more than five years. Cheerleader Tori Hansen said she and her team sort through donated supplies every Au-

gust for the organization, pack the back packs, load the trucks and unload the trucks for the organization.

“We were able to pack the bags and sort items in an hour as a team, it would’ve taken [the organization] all day. It’s great to be able to take weight off their shoulders to help them do something great for the community,” Hansen said.

Kershing said their organization has grown to depend on them the girls’ help every year and the program couldn’t happen without them.

“You hear about kids only playing video games and not caring about their community. It’s refreshing to see how enthused this group of young ladies is. They are kind, giving and think-ing about others, not just themselves,” Kershing said. “They give you hope in the new generation, we’re very proud of them for that.”

Planning protects families

Andy Warren is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to [email protected].

COMMEntaRYBy andy Warren

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

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

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

Create an escape plan. Practice your escape plan in the dark so that you all know what to expect and how to navigate the home without electricity. Here are some things to keep in mind when coming up with your plan:

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

• Feel the door for heat before opening it. If

the door is not hot, open it slowly and take your normal escape route. If the door is hot, take your backup route.

• Crawl if there is smoke. Most fire victims succumb to smoke and toxic gases. Stay below the smoke by crawling.

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

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

It is important to make sure your insurance limits are adequate and up-to-date. Insurance policies are concerned with what the cost of rebuilding your home (not to be confused with the market value). Be sure to review your policy with your agent annually.

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

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

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

Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) - On the surface, wings-and-beer chain Buffalo Wild Wings might not be an obvious choice, but the search for value will bolster its bottom line. B-Dubs might carry an earnings premium compared to a fa-vorite like McDonald’s (MCD), but consider the growth prospects the two have and Buffalo Wild Wings looks like the better bet. The small-cap restaurant is growing faster than McDonald’s. Buffalo Wild Wings plans on opening 32 com-pany-owned stores in the U.S. and Canada while franchisees plan on opening 37, giving the com-pany 13 percent store growth for the year.

Santarus has been active launching an authorized generic of Zegereid, a tactic often used to blunt the impact of regular generics, and just inked a new deal with DepoMed wherein it will start booking U.S. revenues from DepoMed beginning Sept. 1 while getting hold of most U.S. commercial ac-tivities for the drug.

Tuesday, August 30, 2011Vol. 1, No. 3

By Darla Kinney [email protected]

“I can’t talk right now,” declared Eddie Mode of Eddie’s Corner Café when contacted for an interview, “I’m up to my elbows in lasagna. How about tomorrow?”

Th e next day, when asked – during the in-terview for a story on changing careers later in life – what he would have been up to his elbows in 40 years ago, the 84-year-old laughed, and then calculated the days back to his time in Cocoa Beach when he ran a local gathering spot frequented by NASA astronauts and Kennedy Space Center (then Cape Canaveral) workers.

Th at same question could have been posed for several diff erent decades in the Noblesville businessman’s career history, however, and quite the variety of answers would have come forth.

Career change has been his life, not just his late life, but through it all Mode declares he is the same “good guy” and “scoundrel” he was years ago.

Born in Indiana, Mode left home at age 14, joined the Navy shortly thereafter and spent time in several wartime arenas before landing in Florida.

“I’ve always seemed to be in the right place at the right time,” shared Mode, who enjoyed the company of the likes of John Glenn, Alan Shepard, and Gus Grissom as regulars in his Co-coa Beach club during the Mercury to Gemini days. When cutbacks hit the workers and busi-nesses alike, Mode headed to Georgia, where he worked for the Atlanta Braves – now bemoaning the fact that he gave out many baseballs signed by Hank Aaron, but never kept one for himself.

It was there that Mode also entered the world of sports gambling as a bookmaker. He eventually was asked to “pack up and leave town” by the local authorities. No problem. Gambling was legal in Las Vegas, where Mode soon launched Fast Eddie’s Sports –where his daily betting tips earned him a reputation as one who could pick a winner almost every time. He also earned a nice income with his talents (and lecturing on sports handicapping at a Nevada college). But even then, he sent much of what

he made to his daughter Sandy Ehrgott, for her husband’s mission eff orts in Nicaragua.

For 25 years, Mode rubbed shoulders with the likes of Cher, Mike Tyson, Peter Falk and members of the Rat Pack before taking Sandy’s suggestion to move to Noblesville and be close to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Th ough he would soon open his café, the move was more of a life change than a career change for Mode, who said he has since worked to do good to make up for actions in his past.

“And I’m getting this close,” he said, creat-ing a narrow gap between his thumb and index fi nger.

Th e greatest of his good eff orts may be his work in Nicaragua. In the 10 years since his move, Mode has become close to 60 orphans there – one of whom he recently had the honor of “giving away” on her wedding day. His café documents many more escapades from his life.

Th e spry and personable great-grandfather is happy to give patrons a tour of each room’s snapshots, whether missionary, military, political, celebrity, sports or space-related – and is often the recipient of hugs and good wishes from the locals who frequent his eatery and have come to know and love community-minded chef.

Mode’s life changes and adventures are displayed in photos (many signed and some that bring tears to his eyes) on the walls of Eddie’s Café, where anyone over the age of 90 eats free – and often others who are down on their luck do as well. Once again, much of what the eatery brings in goes right back out to the local community and far-fl ung locales like Nicaragua and Africa.

“Of all the places I have lived,” stated Mode, “this is the greatest place. Th e people here are the best. From the day we opened, people have stood in line to eat here…I’ve never worked so hard for so little pay, but I love it.

“I don’t know why the good Lord let me live so long. Here I am, every day, cooking up the specials. And helping children in Nicaragua - that’s the best thing I ever did in my life. I do things now to make up for the dirty rotten things I did before.”

People around town, like Cindy Hawkins of

Eddie Mode says he’s working on changing from ‘scoundrel’ to ‘good guy’

the mayor’s offi ce, have noticed Mode’s eff orts to even his score. Hawkins recalls many ex-amples of his generosity, including one occasion when he paid to fi ll the gas tank of a stranger who otherwise couldn’t make it home.

“He’s just one of those good guys who reaches out and helps people,” she said.

To others who are contemplating a change in life, Mode suggests; “Be true to yourself. Be honest. Don’t try to be something you’re not.

I really am a good guy in spite of some of the things I’ve done. I am the best friend an under-dog can have.

I’ve always been a rebel, willing to take a chance. At my age, I take a chance just getting out of bed! Th at’s how I’ve lived my whole life.”

A life that now fi nds him up to his elbows in the rewards of taking a chance that once again paid off – in the right place at the right time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

COMMEntaRYBy Marcia Wilson

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

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

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

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

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

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

COMMEntaRYBy Dr. Jugnoo Husain

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

COMMEntaRYBy Roger Spahr

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

-Bottom Line Health

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Add sizzle with fire in the landscaping

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is also the time when you begin to dis-

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

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

Make a list, and make a call.

From overwhelmed to overjoyed

David Decker is president of Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms, based in Carmel (877-252-1420, www.affordablekandb.com). Have a home improvement question? E-mail David at [email protected], and he will answer in an upcoming column.

The power of olfactory

Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in downtown Carmel. If you have an interior design question, please contact [email protected].

COMMEntaRYVicky Earley

It only takes one profound experience to ap-preciate the power of our sense of smell.

According to Rachel Herz, author of The Scent of Desire, our sense of smell is thousands of times more sensitive than any of our senses and recognition of smell is immediate. Other senses like touch and taste must travel via neurons and the spinal cord before reaching the brain. How-ever, the olfactory response has an immediate and powerful link to the brain.

In short, this is the only place where our central nervous system is directly exposed to the environment.

Aromatherapy has utilized this direct link between human and environment to manipulate health and emotion. This is a wonderful ap-proach to the complete interior design bundle. A scent that evokes calm and tranquility is the last note of the melody.

What if the smells evoke unpleasant memories? What if the source is not essential oils but rather a chemical source? What if the source triggers migraines, sinusitis and breathing disorders?

This is common, but American homes are told repeatedly our homes are not clean unless some type of “freshener” is plugged into an outlet.

Air fresheners do not “purify” the sur-rounding air, nor do they add natural fra-grances. Instead, they coat the nasal passages

with an oil film such as methoxychlor by re-leasing a nerve-deadening agent to drown out whatever smells may be deemed offensive.

This makes the option of smelling the cat lit-ter seem attractive.

Perfume and cologne are not exempt. The light, floral scent in a body spritzer is not from a flower at all. It is sourced from chemicals that can travel directly into the bloodstream when applied to skin. When the fumes are inhaled, they go straight to our brains. It makes the thought of wearing fragrance about as lovely as spritzing hazardous waste.

• Burn 100 percent pure beeswax candles with cotton wicks

• Use a drop or two of pure essential oils and distilled water, make a spritzer and mist the air.

• Add a drop or two of pure essential oils to hot water

• Use freshly cut fragrant flowers• Use potted plants as air freshening facto-

ries. They clear carbon dioxide from the air and can even remove some of the toxin residue from that can of Glade that you just threw out.

Fall is the time to start layering up! To stay in line with the latest trends in coats for men, take note of Valentino’s sleek lines and sculp-tured shapes. Go for a trench style or leather pea coat, both of which are always classics, but with the tailored look, are pleasingly fresh for 2011.

This fall standout with color! This season is all about texture, contrast, and balance between color. Below you will find a concise review of Pantone’s Fashion Color Report for Fall, 2011.

Bamboo: Choose Bamboo as the perfect standout yellow. This shade has a subtle green undertone that you can balance with a warm honeysuckle or deep phlox for dramatic contrast.

Emberglow: Fall is the time for bonfires, pumpkin patches, and falling leaves. Ember-glow is a classic autumn tone, as it mimics the warmth of a glowing fire. Add the spark by choosing this color as an accent in accessories or pair it with a coffee tone for a classic look.

Honeysuckle: Honeysuckle is fall’s playful hue. This reddish pink brings the joy of spring

into autumn with a fun glow. Make your look intense by wearing it with bamboo, or more festive for the holidays as an accent for a cof-fee colored outfit.

Phlox: Phlox is the perfect way to bring more drama into your wardrobe for this new season. The deep purple has an exotic look, even when worn alone. Add an extra punch by pairing phlox with honeysuckle or bamboo.

Cedar: This versatile green is perfect with its brown undertones and crisp lime finish. Natural tones always look sophisticated and timeless when paired with grays or deep teal.

Deep Teal: Deep Teal is a strong, blue-toned green that pairs beautifully with cedar or honeysuckle.

Coffee Liqueur: Neutrals are the essentials in your wardrobe. Sophistication and class are achieved with Coffee Liqueur. This color brings elegance to fall and an alternative to traditional black.

Orchid Hush: Gray is classic. A reliable, me-dium gray is a must-have because it is depend-able and will remain functional for seasons to come. This color is even popular on your nails this season. OPI has just released their new collection, and you can find it at Salon 01.

Need more ideas about what colors go best together, and what shades are best for your hair color and skin tone? Be sure to chat with your stylist the next time you are in Salon 01. Our staff has great fashion sense and can help steer you in the right direction!

Androgyny is the name of the game this season as men and women’s fashions collide. Tailored lines and man-inspired silhouettes have taken over the runways, from Chanel to Balenciaga. Why do we love this? The trend can work for almost anyone! Go all out and wear a loose pant and tailored jacket, or hold on to your feminine side and choose a fitted trouser and vest combination. Since bold colors are also in, complete your look with a jewel toned or bright accessory, and if you’re feeling extra courageous go for a solid, intense hue for the suit itself!

Calling it quits

Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist, and speaker. Contact him at [email protected].

HUMORBy Dick Wolfsie

“My wife doesn’t understand me.” It’s a com-mon complaint you hear, especially from men sit-ting in bars. Of course, that’s not where I picked it up. I must have overheard it at the barber shop. My problem is that my wife does understand me. Heidi, my proofreader is also on to me.

The best example is my frequent assertion that after more than 500 humor columns, it’s time to quit. Whenever I fail to come up with a new idea for my next column, I climb the stairs from my basement office with a long face, slump into a kitchen chair, and measure out a huge sigh. “I’m out of ideas,” I tell Mary Ellen. “There is nothing left to write about.”

At this point I wanted Mary Ellen to say something like: “Dick, you are creative. Don’t let a little writer’s block get you down. Some-thing will come to you. It always does.” But no, instead, I got: “Maybe you’re right. Just tell all the newspapers you’re quitting.”

That’s not the way my mother would have handled this. When I was a kid and felt over-whelmed by Spanish or geometry, Joan would be supportive and motivating. Then she’d cook my favorite meatloaf dinner. Why can’t my wife treat me more like a child?

I can’t do what Mary Ellen’s proposing be-cause I don’t really want to stop writing this column (and she knows that), but it would

make no sense to argue with her.So I decided to call Heidi, my proofreader.

I knew she’d be more encouraging. “Heidi, it’s Dick. I can’t write another column. I’m hanging it up. There are no more original ideas.”

“You’re right. There’s probably nothing funny left to say. It’s been pretty obvious the last few weeks.”

“Wait a second. Aren’t you going to tell me that I’m incredibly prolific and I will eventually come up with a topic, just like I always have for 10 years?

“Oh, yeah! Don’t forget to put that last check in the mail.”

I even called my sister in New York…“Oh well, one less thing in my inbox each

week. How’s the weather out there?”Finally, I called Bob, my best friend. He and

his wife are big fans and read my stuff every week. Cathy answered the phone and I told her I had probably written my final column. After all these years, I felt I had covered every topic.

“Oh, Dick, why don’t you give it some time and something will come to you,” she said. “You have a great imagination. I know you can do it.”

“Wow, thank you, Cathy. That’s the kind of support I was looking for.”
