It is our position that although justice was served in the capture and execution of Osama bin Laden, the war on terror continues. We must remain vigilant. Al Qaida will surely seek retaliation.

After ten long years chasing the “most wanted” man in recent U.S. his-tory, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks met his demise through the heroic efforts of the CIA, the U.S. military, and the courageous Navy Seals. Americans gathered in the streets to cheer the good news. Finally, those who lost loved ones in the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, United Airlines Flight #93 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan might finally feel a bit of closure.

Truth be told, the witch is not dead, as in the Wizard of Oz. The goals of Al Qaida are pandemic. After the war in Afghanistan, bin Laden became a revered figurehead for Al Qaida. Others took on the work of leading and directing the war against the Infidels. Numerous other organizations have joined in the effort to eradicate non-Muslim Western culture. Now is not the time to let down our guard. Bin Laden’s death may have kicked up a hornet’s nest. The Holy War hasn’t ended.

Forever vigilant Checks and balancesIt is our position that residents and businesses

are drawn to Hamilton County because it offers adequate and well-maintained roads, tasteful and manageable growth, first-class police and fire protection, and abundant parks and recreational opportunities – and relatively low taxes.

Because of Republican dominance, recent primary elections effectively determined who will serve in many local offices. However, the voters who elected these representatives hold many different views on how to prioritize among these often-competing goals. Every objective impacts another: For ex-ample, increased growth may benefit the tax base but cause traffic congestion, or more parks and recreational opportunities may put pressure on taxes. At the very least, a dollar spent in one area is one less dollar available elsewhere.

It is our view that within our councils and commissions, the diversity of views held by residents must be reflected and civilly advocated – even if dissention is required. When budgets are drawn and priorities established, there will inevitably be some who would have made different choices. That’s OK, as long as the “losing” priority was adequately considered. One-party rule should not mean there is only one view when it comes

The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts is our region’s world-class music-and-theatre venue. No entity has been more out front and more supportive of that effort than Current. When others were run-ning negative stories about construction gaffes, costs and the like, we did not jump on that bandwagon, because, in truth, those things happen when a massive complex rises out of the ground. But let us tell you what most certainly is not world-class, and that is the way we (and you, by extension) are be-ing treated by the center’s leadership team. A couple weeks ago in this space, we broke news from multiple unidentified sources about a portion of The Palladium’s upcom-ing schedules. We wrote that in the shadow of our press run – right up against it, actu-ally - and believed strongly in what we were told. As it turns out, our sources were on the money. We “scooped” the official announce-ment only because we believed that multiple other media would have it first (many already knew about it), and we wanted you to receive that information from us. There was talk on the street, as they say. After our report, we

were told for the record by an executive at the center that its advertising schedule would be pulled from Current Publishing products in a punitive response. Now, we have learned from John Hughey, the public relations manager for The Center for the Performing Arts, that, in an additional punitive action, we (and you, by extension) are now cut off from receiving news releases issued by the center. Remember, we’re not the big-city daily with beat report-

ers. We actually use news releases in formulat-ing our weekly editorial plan. “Regrettably, the Center will not be able to assist Current on stories and articles at the present time. I do not currently have you on our news release list,” Hughey wrote us in an e-mail response to our own e-mail inquiry about Current sud-denly not receiving such information. We’re not shooting Hughey here. We believe he was instructed to respond that way, although we have no way to prove it. Just look at the chain of events and draw your own conclusion. What really matters here is that that you are being affected in actions against our company. Remember, too, that many taxpayers in our midst are helping to fund this organization, a 501(c)3, that has chosen to cut an exclusive information-release deal with a media com-pany based out of state. We view these ac-tions as a slap at our readership, actually. On your behalf, and as the local newspaper with 100-percent household penetration, we will not be deterred in our information-gathering process. When there is news to break, we will, indeed, break it. All of it. Bank on it. You and your fellow readers deserve nothing less.

COMMEntaRYBy Danielle Wilson

Did you watch the royal wedding? My hus-band and I couldn’t seem to get enough of it, which is weird because we normally don’t fol-low the lives of celebrities (unless we run in to actual celebrities in an L.A. bakery, of course!). I can’t speak for Doo, but I think my fascination stemmed from several factors, including memo-ries of childhood dreams, a need for happy news, and my British heritage.

I was nine when Diana and Charles married, and can still remember sitting with my parents and sisters watching that wedding. Oh how I wanted to wear an enormous ball gown, walk down an aisle longer than my street, and marry a handsome prince! I mean, what little girl doesn’t yearn for her happily ever after? So to witness another fairy tale wedding, particularly one where the bride was not royalty, reminds me dreams do really come true. (Thanks to the ex-tensive television coverage, my youngest daugh-ter is already plotting her royal engagement. She plans to attend “university” somewhere in Eng-land to improve her odds. Princess Madelaine has a lovely ring, doesn’t it?)

I also think the reason we’ve been unable to pass up any channel showing wedding high-lights is the need for good news. I’ve said this before, but I have enough worries with fam-ily and work to spend my precious free time

watching some reporter sensationalize the lat-est bombing or natural disaster or economic downturn. Give me something to celebrate for a change! And weddings, second only to the birth of a baby, are hands down the most joyous occa-sions to witness.

Especially when the couple really does seem to love each other. My husband and I both agreed that Kate and William acted just like we did when were married: They joked, laughed, fidgeted, and appeared nervous and excited at the same time. It’s no wonder people cry at oc-casions such as these, the start of a new life for two people. I even found myself getting a bit teary-eyed until the cameras panned the crowd and caught Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice looking like Dr. Seuss’s version of Cinderella’s two ugly stepsisters. Hysterical! Dried my eyes right up!

But I guess the biggest pull to the wedding for me was personal. One of my grandmoth-ers was British (literally fell in a bomb hole in

London while pushing my dad in a pram during WWII!), and I actually have dual-citizenship with “the realm” thanks to some archaic clause about both my father and grandfather having been born in England. Undoubtedly, I am more in tune to the royal family than most Yanks.

So ignoring the splendor of the day’s festivi-ties, just seeing London and Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace decked to the nines was exhilarating for me. Not so much for Doo, who has yet to travel to the Isles, although he was completely enamored by the various military uniforms on display and the intricacies of royal succession and etiquette. And both of us en-joyed the spectacular array of British sports cars. (It was better than a Bond movie!) We can’t wait to take our kids across the pond to experience the history, and let’s face it, majesty, of England.

I know there were a lot of people who couldn’t stand the media hype building up to and during the wedding day activities, but in all honesty, I think it was a wonderful moment in history that came at just the right time. And I can’t wait to see what happens when it’s Prince Harry’s turn! Gingers unite! Peace out.

Royal wedding truly a sight to behold

Editor,The story on www.currentinwestfield.com

regarding Russell Cameron’s allegations against Bruce Hauk is an interesting one, but where is the rest of it?

Why didn’t you report that Hauk resigned shortly after the election to take another job? Why didn’t you report about Andy Cook being in his polling precinct the night before the elec-

tion as well as that a complaint has been filed against Mr. Cameron for walking into the poll-ing area before it opened to make sure there was a Democratic judge?

You also missed the part about an entire pre-cinct being overlooked/miscounted.Once again, Current in Westfield hasn’t told the whole story.

Current in WestfieldThe city made an announcement

last week stating that the allega-tions made against former Deputy Mayor Bruce Hauk were found to be groundless and without merit.

The Hamilton County Prosecu-tor’s Office received a complaint from Russell Cameron, a Republican candidate for mayoral primary. The complaint alleged that Hauk engaged in illegal activities related to the 2011 campaign and committed eight violations of Indiana criminal law.

Of the eight violations alleged, six were based on statutory restrictions placed on city man-agers. One allegation involved campaigning during Hauk’s regular work hours and another alleged that he gave an inappropriate directive to Westfield department heads.

An investigation by the Indiana State Police concluded that the city of Westfield has never

created the position of city manager, meaning the six allegations related to city manager were then found to be groundless and without merit.

The allegation regarding cam-paigning during work hours was also found to be groundless and without merit.

The final allegation regarding inap-propriate communications directed

to department heads was investigated through police interviews of all persons who attended the meeting in question. The investigation found that allegation to be without merit, too.

“The investigation conducted by the Indiana State Police did not reveal any criminal activity,” said Hamilton County Prosecutor Lee Bucking-ham in a statement on May 6.

The city announced on May 5 that Hauk had resigned from his position. Friday was his last day with the city, and he has accepted a position with Indiana American Water.

Executive Director Jill Doyle de-scribes the alumni of the Hamilton County Leadership Academy as the “who’s who” of the county.

These “students” come from vari-ous backgrounds and professions, and some names are better known around the county than others. But every past and present HCLA participant has a few important traits in common with the rest: All are proven community leaders seeking to learn how to continue serving their respective communities in new ways.

That’s what HCLA gives them. The academy is now training its 20th class, educating its members on the county’s greatest needs and the ways to go about addressing them. During each 10-month course, a class learns about several aspects of the county from local experts dur-ing monthly meetings. Additionally, the class is divided into groups – each charged with the assignment of identifying a need in the commu-nity and creating a project to make an impact.

“There are some significant challenges that will face Hamilton County in the future, and I think this group of people has set out to recog-nize those challenges and be in a position both from knowledge and network to accept them,” Westfield Fire Chief and current HCLA class

member Todd Burtron said.HCLA projects have sparked

a number of changes and new programs in the county, like the Supervised Visitation program with Promising Futures, which provides a way to bring together children and parents from broken homes.

But the community service doesn’t end when the class is over. Many

of HCLA’s 450 alumni have gone on to be on boards of directors of many of the county’s non-profits or serve in elected positions.

HCLA will celebrate its 20th anniversary on May 26 with a cocktail party the Palladium in Carmel. The event will go on from 5 to 7 p.m. and will reconnect HCLA alumni as well as provide an opportunity for those interested in the program to learn more about it. Admission is $35 per person or $60 for a couple. Doyle stressed that the event is completely open to the public, and so, too, is the application to be a part of the 21st HCLA class. The application and details on the program are available at www.hcla.net.

“I feel like this is the greatest opportunity in Hamilton County to meet the people who are really making a difference,” Doyle said. “I just keep finding that HCLA has truly helped a lot of people in a lot of different ways.”

By Jordan FischerCurrent in Westfield

“I’m just doing what any mother would do,” said Becky Mc-Nichols, watching her 32-year-old son, Scott, being raised into the Hamilton County Express bus.

The bus pulls away from the McNichols’ Fishers home to take Scott to the Monon Center in Carmel, and McNichols worries that he’ll be too hot in his blue jeans. Then she picks at a few stray weeds in a small flower patch in her front lawn, hoping rain will come early enough in the day that she’ll be able to pull them after they dry.

For the past seven years, McNichols has been caretaker, sole provider, and advocate for Scott, who suffered a life-altering brain injury in a snowboarding accident in March of 2004. The accident left him wheelchair-bound and quadriparetic, with little to no function or control over his arms and legs. He also suffers seizures and body contractions, and must be monitored continu-ously to avoid dehydration, which poses extra risks for per-sons with brain injuries.

“thAt’s when Our jOurney begAn…”There are pictures of Scott McNichols and his

younger siblings, brother Michael, 28, and sister Leigh, 26, scattered throughout his mother’s liv-ing room. The one she points to first, though, is of him alone, captured just fractions of a second before striking a soccer ball.

“He won four state championships with North Central High School,” McNichols says proudly.

After college – Scott went to Indiana Univer-sity, as did his younger brother and sister – he traveled to Kirkwood, California, to work at the Kirkwood Mountain Resort, a haven for ski enthusiasts.

“Scott had the opportunity that many of us don’t … to realize his dream,” McNichols said.

On March 8, 2004, Scott struck a tree at 30 mph while snowboarding. The collision caused a shearing injury, or a diffuse axonal injury, one of the most devastating types of brain trauma. More than 90 percent of patients who suffer a severe DAI never regain consciousness.

Scott was airlifted off the mountain to a trauma hospital in Reno, Nevada, where his mother flew out to stay with him for six weeks before she was finally able to have him airlifted back to Indianapolis.

“That’s when our journey began,” McNichols remembers.the LOng bAttLe

Much of Becky McNichols’ time now is spent lobbying legislators and advocating for more information and medical options for persons with traumatic brain injuries. After a difficult process of pushing for more support, McNichols was able to get a Medicare waiver from the state to take Scott to the Rainbow Rehabilitation Center in Detroit.

The waiver was necessary, McNichols said, because there are almost no services available in Indi-ana for brain injury rehabilitation patients in the ages between childhood and elderly care. And the waiting list for out-of-state waivers can stretch into the years.

“There’s no resources,” she says. “There’s nothing that would say, ‘Oh, Becky, your son has a brain injury. Here’s a list of things you can do.’ There’s nothing there, and nobody to tell you what to do.”

“It’s only because I kept asking for more and pushing that I finally found out what my options were,” McNichols says.

McNichols was one of the leading proponents of SB 24, authored by Sen. Patricia Miller, R-District 32, which cleared the Indiana State Senate but died in the House after the Committee on Public Health refused to give it a hearing. The bill would have established an Indiana Brain Injury Commission to study whether more treatment options should be made available in-state. Currently, Indiana spends $10 million annually on out-of-state treatment for Hoosiers with brain injury.

Because of a lack of in-state treatment options, McNichols said Scott has lost much of what he learned at Rainbow Rehab, including what speech ability he had regained. Scott now communicates

McNichols’ story one of trials, perseverancewith limited hand signals and fa-cial expressions.

“There’s a myth that wherever you are in a year or two, that’s where you’ll be for the rest of your life,” McNichols said. “That’s not true. For example, Scott didn’t learn to eat solid food on his own until year three.”

Even simple things like trans-portation become expensive chal-lenges. McNichols praises Ham-ilton County Express for getting

Scott around the county, but she says that to get to a doctor’s appointment in Indianapolis, or anywhere outside of Hamilton County, a lack of public transportation options forces her to put

him in his wheelchair in the back of her SUV.Recently, one of Scott’s biggest sources of exercise and so-cial engagement was removed when Medicare refused to

cover his physical therapy in the Fishers YMCA pool. McNichols says the agency instead sent Scott to a

physical therapist at St. Vincent Hospital in Carmel, at a much higher cost.

“I want my son to have a quality of life,” Mc-Nichols says. “He’s watching his friends and siblings starting lives, getting married. Why not let him go to the pool? Why not let him go to the fair?”

McNichols has been working with the Brain Injury Group of Indiana to spread information and contact other persons with brain injuries for support, and to help them tell their stories. She also continues to meet with legislators and health care officials to seek more treatment options in state.

“We’re not asking for money,” McNichols says, “we’re offering to assess the situation. We want to be fiscally responsible, but address the issues of this very needy community.”

“I love my son dearly,” she says. “I just want the best for him.”

One down...Westfield has landed its first major development for the Grand Park area By Kevin Kane Current in Westfield

To the administration in Westfield, Mainstreet’s future arrival to the city is more than just a new development.

The city announced late last month that Mainstreet, a state-of-the-art senior healthcare facility, will expand into Westfield with a $13.3 million project adjacent to Grand Park. This is the first major project planned for the Grand Park development area, and Mayor Andy Cook predicts Mainstreet’s involvement in the city’s family sports initiative will do more than provide a small boost to the local economy.

Construction on Westfield’s 300-acre sports complex known as Grand Park is expected to begin around September of this year. The development will include a multitude of championship-level sports facilities designed to attract and house youth sports tournaments throughout the year. The surrounding 1,400 will be privately developed, though the city is working to lure companies to locate to this area.

Cook said the majority of businesses surrounding Grand Park will likely be hotels, restaurants, retailers and some medical facili-ties, especially ones involved in sports medicine. A development like the one Mainstreet will bring to the city, however, was not expected.

“We had kind of a targeted industry that we felt very strongly would want to locate there but one industry we didn’t think about was retirement living,” Cook said. “They approached us

two or three months ago because they feel that the amenity of a sports facility featuring family sports activities is a great market-ing tool for them.

“What’s their number-one goal for their residents? Activity. And what can provide more activity than a sports facility? We didn’t even think about that, and now they’re ready to turn dirt before we are.”

Cicero-based Mainstreet owns 14 properties, including 11 for senior housing and care. It also is develop-ing an additional six health care campuses throughout the Midwest. CEO and Chair-man Zeke Tuner said Mainstreet has had its eyes on Westfield for some time. But the company had no interactions with the city and wasn’t ready to expand into Westfield until plans for the sports park began to solidify.

“We certainly liked the idea that they were pursuing that project,” Turner said. “We felt that was the ideal situation for us in terms of what we’re trying to do.”

Turner said it is possible that Mainstreet would have eventually developed a facility in Westfield without Grand Park, as he said the city has an ideal mix of new growth and longtime residents. However, he said the community’s commitment to completely transforming an entire section of the city is very appealing to the company.

The Mainstreet development is expected to have an immediate impact on the local economy, creating a total economic impact of $22.6 million in Hamilton County this year, based on construc-tion cost estimates. When completed in 2012, the 65,000-square-foot facility on 7.5 acres will create 150 jobs, and the city esti-mates that its total economic impact over the next 10 years will be $142.3 million, including construction costs in 2011.

But Cook said Mainstreet’s immediate impact will go beyond the construction costs and new jobs. He said this news of a first development came months earlier than originally expected, and while the arrival of a company like Mainstreet has opened the city’s eyes to other industries and businesses that may be inter-ested in locating near Grand Park, Cook the biggest benefit may be an increase in credibility.

“It says that, even with our limited marketing, already the pri-vate sector has said ‘We want to be here,’ which I think is huge,” he said.

The ultimate goal of Grand Park and the creation of a family sports industry in Westfield is to lower residential and commer-cial tax bills, Cook said. According to the city’s projections, the targeted development area could result in up to $2 billion in new commercial assessed valuation over the next 20 years.

One development, even one as big as the one Mainstreet will bring to the city, won’t have an impact on taxes by itself. But Cook said it could be the first big sign of things to come in the near future.

“The timing in all the pieces that are coming to this: our loca-tion, the U.S. 31 freeway project, the fact that the utilities are already there…you put those things together and we think there will be a lot of businesses that say, ‘Hey, we want to move to Westfield,’” he said.

Mainstreet Chairman and CEO Zeke Turner said the company hopes to break ground on its Westfield development sometime in the fall. “From there, we have a nine-to-10-month construction project,” he said. “We’d likely open in mid-2012 with preleasing in the spring of 2012.” Mayor Andy Cook said the city hopes to begin construction on the first facilities of its 300-acre sports complex in September.

Zeke Turner said Mainstreet may be in the same industry as companies with traditional nursing homes and senior health care facilities, but they aren’t the same. He said Mainstreet’s hotel-style, single-occupant rooms, amenities and restaurant-style dining are often more comfortable and more appealing to older adults – even ones in their 60s and younger.

GRAMMAR LESSONBy Brandie Bohney

Football is my favorite sport. I played flag football in high school and college whenever I had the opportunity, I dated (and later married) a college player, I attended games even in rain and snow, and I became a huge fan of the Colts just before moving to central Indiana.

I follow professional football in particular, and I even watch the draft. Yes, I watch the draft. I couldn’t tell you now who even the Colts selected, but I was watching.

This year, however, I almost had to change the channel. One of the commentators said something so loony that I nearly switched to “House Hunters.” Seriously.

Now, I don’t expect the highest-quality gram-mar coming from sports commentators. I take that back: I expected outstanding grammar from Dennis Miller when he was a Monday Night Football commentator. I didn’t expect much else, but I did expect grammatical excellence. Other commentators, though? Not so much.

But back to the draft. One of the commenta-tors (and I can’t recall who it was precisely, but I think it was Jon Gruden) used the non-word projectize. As if that weren’t enough, the use was such that the correct option was project, as in,

“We can’t projectize what kind of professional athlete he’ll be.” The guy would have saved a whole syllable by using the correct word!

Look, I understand that sometimes in a live setting, you don’t have a chance to say precisely what you want or what you want to say comes out all sorts of wrong. But correct yourself. If you don’t, you run the risk of losing credibility because people will assume that you don’t know what you said is not just marginally off kilter but wholly and ridiculously wrong. That’s where misconceptions like orientate and disorientate (instead of orient and disorient) come from.

We all make mistakes. If you find yourself misspeaking in company that requires precision, correct yourself. There’s no shame in that. In fact, it’s a much better option than ignoring a glaring mistake as if it didn’t happen.

So let’s all learn something from the draft commentators: If you make a mistake, correct it. You just can’t projectize what people may think of you if you don’t.

Draft commentators not the picture of grammatical health

» Student jobs – The journal Develop-mental Psychology reported recently that students who work more than 15 hours a week during high school graduate col-lege at lower rates. Researchers found that by age 30, more than 50 percent of high school students who had worked less than 15 hours a week had completed a bachelor’s degree. But for every five ad-ditional hours worked beyond 15 hours, students experienced an 8 percent drop in college completion.

» Don’t shop Expedia, Orbitz – Recent thinking has been to start your airfare searches at online travel agents like Ex-pedia and Orbitz. But some airlines have withdrawn from these sites and some-times even offer better deals. Start your search at sites like kayak.com, fly.com and tripadvisor.com – meta search engines that aggregate fares from a number of sources. However, you should search all three meta-engines, because they cover different OTAs. And you’ll still have to search some airlines individually, such as Southwest, Allegiant and Vision.

» Roast your own coffee – You can roast your own coffee beans using a popcorn popper. Use a fresh popper dedicated to roasting coffee. If it’s also used to pop popcorn, that taste probably will come out in your coffee beans. This is a good compromise between the cheap but dif-ficult frying-pan method and the easy but expensive home-roaster method.

» PH is important – Have an expert test the PH levels of your lawn every year. PH testing equipment purchased in depart-ment and lawn care stores tend to be inaccurate. This can cause errors in lawn maintenance that can completely destroy your lawn. The perfect pH level for grass is 6.5. When pH levels dip below 6.0, add lime to the soil. If the pH levels increase above 7.0, add gardener’s sulphur to the soil. If you keep the pH level perfect, your grass will be lush, green and thick.

» Pairing whiskey with food – Draw out sweet sauces and glazes with a sweet whis-key like Black Maple Hill. The savory ele-ments will sting. If food is woodsy or smoky, so should the whiskey be. A peaty Hirsch Reserve is a great match for something like braised short ribs. With chocolate, bourbon works better than port. Elijah Craig twelve-year can complement even a Hershey bar.

» Battle moles, grubs - Moles generally come calling this month. They’re search-ing for mates and also grubs in your lawn. To get rid of the grubs, apply milky spore disease (Bacillus popilliae or Bacillis len-timorbus), a dust you can buy at your local garden center. Or try a new product called Mole-Med, which has castor oil as its active ingredient. Moles don’t like the taste of this any more than you do.

DISPatCHESCurrent in Westfield

Innkeepers’ tax dollars cap-tured from out-of-area visitors will be invested into several tourism projects throughout the county under a tour-ism bond initiative recently approved by the Hamilton County Council. And West-field will receive a $1 million cut of this money.

The $3.45 million bond will be financed by a 5 percent tax paid by visitors for up to 20 years and is expected to gener-ate $31 million in local tax revenues over the life of the projects.

“This proposal is similar to single-use capital projects in larger cities, which often are supported by lodging taxes,” Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Brenda Myers said in a release.“This is Hamilton County’s investment in destination development.”

The bond will support projects throughout the county, including sports, historic preserva-tion, downtown redevelopment, the arts and a local park.

The Hamilton County CVB will manage many of the projects as part of its contract with

the Hamilton County Visitor and Convention Commission, the governmentally appointed agency that oversees tourism operations in the county.

Supported projects were vetted through the Destination: Hamilton County Grant Review Committee in January. The Bureau will work with local municipalities to refine the remaining projects.

Hamilton County Grant Review Committee approved the project concepts in January, with details to be determined. Projects may include

up to $1 million in support for the Grand Park sports complex in Westfield; up to $1 million to support develop-ment of the Nickel Plate Arts Trail, including the purchase of two buildings in down-town Noblesville to house the NPAT headquarters and an arts and cultural center; up to $500,000 for an investment in Fishers to be determined later; up to $500,000 for enhance-ments to Hamilton County’s Strawtown Koteewi Park; and, additional support for signage and enhancements in Carmel.

The innkeepers tax, collect-ed by the Hamilton County

Treasurer and appropriated to the Hamilton County Visitor and Convention Commission, generates approximately $2.5 million annually. This money must be spent on tourism develop-ment initiatives and marketing according to state statute.

According to economic impact studies done by Certec, Inc., tourism contributes $16.8 million to the local tax base annually. Tourism contributes $365 million in total to the local economy, directly supporting more than 4,000 jobs and $82 million in wages.

But Brahms struggled and that symphony took decades to finish. Brahms instead completed his First Piano Concerto, which shows the influence of Beethoven’s Ninth.

COMMEntaRYBy Susan Beaurain

It’s May and spring is in the air. But at the Monon Community Center, our minds have been on summer for months.

Our planning to provide the community with a summer of fun begins in November. While our staff enjoys turkey, pumpkin pie, and football with family, we sometimes catch ourselves day-dreaming about water slides and swim lessons! This year, Aquatics has included some creative and exciting programs and ways to make the wa-ter park at the Monon Community Center even more enjoyable than last year.

Our swim lessons continue its tradition of providing quality lessons to fit any schedule this summer, starting as young as six months old in groups or private settings. New this year is Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation (CCPR) Seas Dragons, our summer youth swim team—a great opportunity to involve your child into competitive sports in a low-pressure environ-ment. The CCPR Sea Dragons will practice and compete with other local summer swim teams over an eight-week period. New USA Masters swimming is available for adults.

The Aquatics staff begins water park prepara-tions as early as February. That’s right. Snow and ice is still falling from the sky and we’ve started planning and cleaning for thousands of summer

visitors to our cozy beach area, six-lane lap pool, water slides, play structures, lazy river, diving well, and kiddy pool. Our long preparations will finally be finished and the water park ready for its opening day on Saturday, May 28 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. We’ve ordered sunny weather and Radio Disney 98.3 FM will be on site to offer special promotions and give-a-ways.

Have you ever thought of hosting your neighbor-hood gathering or company picnic at a water park? Rentals are available after public hours from Sunday through Wednesday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Contact Carrie at [email protected] for more information.

Susan Beaurain is a division man-ager with the Monon Community Center. Contact her by e-mailing to [email protected].

Daily admission to the water park at the Monon Community Center, 1195 Central Park Drive West, Carmel, is $8 for adults and $5 for youth and seniors. Season passes start at $60 for unlimited use. New this year is the “Late Day” admission rate, just $4 for the last two hours, daily.

FItnESSBy april Conard

Ask most active people if they believe they should stretch before and after their workout, and they’ll likely answer with a resounding, “Yes!” (Even if they don’t always comply). Certainly at one time we’ve heard that pre-workout stretching prevents injury. And right now, it is pretty much gospel that stretching immediately after activity pre-vents soreness.

Here is the question: What is stretching really for, and when is it really worth our time and effort? Let’s back up and talk about the long and short of it. Muscle is elastic in nature. It can expand to a point, and then it returns to its resting or shortened state.

Any activity requires muscles to stretch to a certain degree; how much it stretches depends on the activity. So when a muscle is stretched regularly, it develops the ability to stretch further, and the affiliated joints increase their range of motion (flexibility). The opposite is true as well: If the muscle is not stretched often, it will stay shortened, and the joints are less mobile and your range of motion decreases. Which brings me back to the question: Is stretching good for me, and when should I do it?

Before a workout: No. It is very old

school to “stretch” before working out; now we are encouraged to warm up the muscle rather than give it a static stretch. In fact, stretching before your workout can actually give you an injury, not prevent one.

After a workout: Yes. Stretching after your workout will not prevent soreness. The sore-ness you feel is from mircotears to tissue, and only time can repair this delayed-onset muscle soreness. However, stretching after exercise will help restore muscle to its resting state, essentially allowing you to maintain your current level of flexibility, preventing tightness.

Flexibility used to be a term I associated with gymnasts, but if you look from the point of view of how it affects your joints, it becomes more important. We all know someone who is aging and joint mobility has become an issue. So the answer is yes, you should stretch; not because it will prevent soreness, not because it can make you run faster, but because it will help you maintain your quality of life now and later.

Should I stretch before a workout?

COMMEntaRYBy David Cain

I was watching a game last week. The mascot, a familiar sports team friend, was hopping around, waving and dancing. This character was hard to miss. While I like to think only my kids like the mascot, I will say that there is definitely a link between that furry fellow and my brain. You see, my brain likes things that are tangible. It likes things, no matter how cheesy, it can attach to and remember.

If I showed up at a presentation and gave my talk and in the middle I took out a hammer and crashed it to the podium saying, “You’ve got to bring down the hammer!” people would remember that. They would see the hammer as a tangible prop, and their memory would attach to it, em-bedding the words I say in their memory of that experience.

It’s why having visuals, when you explain things to people, helps. What helps even more is explaining with things they can touch and feel. When I teach my kids math, we use sticks or buttons in lieu of paper and pens. When they pick things up and move them, these tangible props become better understood. They become easier to remember, because they are real.

It doesn’t matter if the audience for my presentation is a 5-year-old or a 50-year-old; we all like tangible things that we can attach to. My presenta-tions now include props I use to help tell my story. Tangible things that people can understand and relate to quickly. Props assist with the story and create a more memorable experience. Stories that are accompanied by tangible things are much easier to understand. Is there a prop for the story of what you do? If not, it might be worth inventing.

Props for props» Steady stocks – No stocks are as safe as bonds, but there are a few steady choices. Abbott (ABT) – None of its major drug patents are set to expire soon.

“I think it’ll get up to $4.75, but it won’t hit $5. I think people are going to stop driving as much if it hits $5, and I think that’s sort of what OPEC is trying to avoid: people buying less gas.”

Austin NorthWestfield

“I don’t know. Maybe $5. It just seems to keep climbing, and when the demand goes up in the summer time when people are traveling more, I think the prices are going to skyrocket.”

MacKenzie River Pizza Company will be opening its first location in Indianapolis on Monday, May 16 serving lunch and dinner daily. This casual family friendly dining restaurant is located at 4939 E. 82nd Street just west of Allisonville Road in the Clearwater Springs Shopping Center.

The restaurant is owned by co-managing partners, Jon and Michael Shuel origi-nally from Indianapolis. After growing up in Bozeman, MT, and working at the restaurant that their father, and Indiana native, Steve Shuel owned, the brothers de-cided to bring the restaurant to where they again now call home.

The pizza is “unlike any other in the free world.” They offer these crusts: sourdough, natural grain and thin crust along with Montana-sized sandwiches, made-to-order pasta, entrees and salads served with a selection of homemade dressings.

REMODElIngBy larry greene

HISTORY OF THE ORIGINAL HOME: This home is located in the heart of downtown Zionsville and was built nearly 100 years ago. Origi-nally a barn, the home was relocated closer to the road and had various additions added to it over the years. Although the owners love the charac-ter of their older home, the kitchen area was just too cramped and boxed in for them to really enjoy it. The homeowner commented, “I never wanted to cook in the old kitchen; it wasn’t fun. I was separated from everything else going on in the house.” The kitchen area was separated into three areas by boxy, interior walls – a table/hallway area, a game room, and the actual main kitchen. The goal of the design phase was to combine these three areas into one big open space while retaining the original functionality of the three areas.

DESIGN STRATEGY: The design schemes were based upon removing walls and opening up the space. Knowing the age of the home, potential structural issues were just as much the

focus as the actual design schemes and material selections. Regarding the overall style, most of the existing rooms in the home had developed a Victorian style and feel to them. However, in contrast, the homeowner wanted the kitchen to feel very modern. A classic shaker door style was chosen for the cabinetry since the clean lines and transitional style would help blend the new kitchen with the remainder of the home. An overall neutral color palette was chosen so the room could be decorated with splashes of color. This also gave the home a very cohesive feel.

FINAL RESULTS: The homeowner said, “Dur-

ing construction, my husband and I would race home every night to see what was accomplished. Now that it’s finished, we race home and just stand there and stare, because it’s just so unique and different for us!”

COMMENTARYBy Vicky Earley

Custom window treatments are the sector of interior decor that seems to be shrouded in mystery. Most homeowners recognize custom does look different from ready-made, but few can readily pinpoint why.

Ready-made window treatments, available since first introduced by mail order in the 1920s, have garnered appeal over the years.

While it is quicker and less intimidating to pick up “ready to go” drapery at a chain decor store than it is to plan and execute a custom look with the aid of a professional, the final product almost always falls short.

The first element to consider is the type of thread used in the fabrication. Clear nylon tread is the first red flag. Nylon can dis-solve during the dry-cleaning process, so it is generally used only in inexpensive applications.

Quality window treatments will generally be fabricated with cotton or a cotton-poly blend thread that is color matched to the fabric.

Custom window treatments will have a weighted bottom, while ready-made treatments fall haphazardly.

A custom silk or poly/silk window treatment will often include a fleece interlining or English Bump Cloth as well as lining. This added layer provides additional dimension and richness. As much as 25-30 percent of a home’s energy can be lost through windows, so this custom touch is as hard working as it is beautiful.

If considering a ready-made window treatment, an examina-tion of the pattern match might change your mind. This is often an area that is ignored in mass production, and stripes that are off are can be a visual irritation! Custom window treatments should be matched with meticulous care, both vertically and

horizontally.Identify the type of fabric that a window treatment is comprised

of. Ready-mades are often constructed of fabrics that are not the proper weight to balance a window. A screen-print cotton might be fine for a guest bath but totally ineffective for a dining room.

If at all possible, avoid the ready-mades that are not lined. Years ago, I used a bold color, unlined in my first apartment only to receive a notice in my mailbox asking that I substitute them with white or lined drapery.

Also, consider the type of lining – to ensure the lining is rot proof, sun proof and water resistant, it is almost always necessary to go the custom route.

Ready-made panels are generally constructed just like a pil-lowcase with a simple seam connecting the lining with the face fabric. Custom treatments generally sport as much as a two-inch hem on the sides to eliminate the lining from being visible.

Ready-mades are often not identical in length due to mass produc-tion processes, while custom gives the option of fine details such as covered buttons, fringe, cording and the opulence of puddling.

I completely understand there is a need and a place for the ready-made drapery market. The low cost makes it quite attrac-tive. If at all possible, however, it should be reserved for apart-ment dwellers and first-time homeowners.

Beyond that, custom fabrication offers a look that frames and softens a room in a way that no piece of art or accessory can.

Custom versus ready-made

» Freshen laundry with alcohol – You can keep your clothes smelling fresher with vodka — really! Simply spritz your duds with the stuff, then hang to dry in a well-venti-lated area. (Do a spot-test first to be safe.) Vodka kills odor-causing bacteria, but doesn’t leave a scent when dry.

-www.thedailygreen.com

» Quieter appliances, home – Because of their super-fast rota-tion, many front-loading washers vibrate if on a wood-framed floor and can even crack tiles. Consumer Reports found that pads or feet didn’t do much to reduce the shaking. Instead, the magazine recommended the Steadywash, which it said couldn’t stop the wiggling completely but greatly reduced vibrations sent through the floor. CR’s best-rated front-loaders with low vibra-tion are the Kenmore 4027 ($800) and LG WM2050C ($700).

-Consumer Reports

» Best makeup for lines – Most anti-aging makeup con-tains light-reflecting particles that create an instant optical illusion. Luminosity definitely softens the appearance of lines, but not alone. Look for sheer and creamy formula-tions. Powder, in addition to emphasizing dryness, can crease and cake up, calling attention to wrinkles. For the area that tends to bother women most — the outer eye — highlighter is a particularly good crow’s feet camo. Try Pe-ter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Conceal and Brighten, with a peptide-packed concealer on one end and highlighter on the other ($35, Sephora).

HUMORBy Dick Wolfsie

My wife has renewed our subscription to Pre-vention magazine. I say “our” subscription because she reads it and then sticks the articles in my face. The purpose of this annoying publication is to make you worry about nearly every aspect of your life from the second you wake up in the morning and fail to drink organic orange juice to the second you fall asleep and start battling sleep apnea be-cause you have a chubby neck.

Those who write for Prevention are opposed to almost anything its readers could possibly digest. Over the history of this monthly periodi-cal, everything you have ever put in your mouth gets raked over the coals.

Oh, you can nibble on raw cauliflower or dip florets of broccoli into a savory sauce made of skim milk and low-fat yogurt, but once the phrase “Mmmmm, that’s really good” comes out of your mouth, that’s an indication you have put something bad into it.

Much of the advertising in this magazine is for drugs that will treat your coronary disease, gout, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, polyps and acne, which is a strong hint that all this nutrition advice is a bunch of hooey and that you might as well pop a pill and get back to enjoying life. Eat ribs, take Lipitor and get a three-year subscription

to this magazine. I think that’s about as much as I’m willing to commit to my longevity.

Of course, some decadent foods are advocated by the magazine if consumed in appropriate amounts. On Saturday mornings when Mary El-len drags me to Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, I get an earful about what’s OK to get a mouthful of ...

“Dick, did you know that if you eat a serving of peanuts a day, you are 14 percent less likely to have a stroke?”

“That may be true. I’ve never seen an el-ephant with a walker.”

“Here’s what else I read. Men over 60 – that’s you – are 30 percent less likely to have a heart attack if they eat fresh fish once a week. Too bad cooking that stuff stinks up the house, or I’d be willing to do that for you.”

“What else?”“I also read that you should get your pulse up

to 180 at least once a day. How would you do that?

“I’d let you read to me from that magazine right before I go to sleep.”

Living healthfully not all it’s cracked up to be

As 2011’s fashion trends come to fruition, and we move fully into a new decade, its time to introduce a new trend that has been on the horizon for some time. If you are one that has enjoyed the military-chic trend over the last decade, you may be interested in learning that this year, the army-inspired look is being replaced with the biker trend.According to www.fashionising.com, a motorcycle jacket is the key piece to pulling off this trend. These jackets can be found in anything from the standard black leather, to silver, and can be plain or embellished for a more feminine finish. Try one on, you may not think its your style, but you might be pleasantly surprised!

Looking for something new to sport at the beach this year? Peruvian surfer Lorenz Lorder-Fort has introduced a new line of swim wear for the laid back guy. His line consists of bold bright colors that attract instant attention. Combine a pair of his bright shorts with a vintage faded t-shirt to be instantly ready for a day at the pool, lake, or beach. Created with comfort and “chill” in mind this line, Olasul, can make every guy feel cool and trendy, while comfortable and relaxed at the same time.

Patch is a 7 year old male black Shepherd/Lab mix. Patch is a laid-back guy who is looking for a relaxed environment home with someone who will take him for daily walks and a few trips to the dog park. He is good with other dogs and loves romping and playing at the dog park, but towels are a necessity because he also likes to wade into the water! Patch is house trained and knows the commands sit, down, heel, stay and shake. Patch would prefer a home with adults or older children who will treat him with respect. Patch is very loyal to those he trusts most, so he will need an experienced owner to help him feel secure in all situations.

Basil is a 7 month old male tabby DSH. Basil really enjoys playing with toys and with his brothers Cajun, Cilantro and Pepper. The four kittens arrived at the shelter when they were just weeks old and needed to be bottle fed. They have been in a foster home where they have become healthy, strong and social kittens and are ready to find their forever home. Basil is very affectionate and is quite the purring machine. With just a scratch under his chin, he will gladly roll onto his side or back and playfully paw at your arm as if to say “Please don’t stop petting me.”

PEtS OF tHE WEEK

COMMEntaRY By John Mikesell

There are many reasons why it’s important to pay attention to stress indicators, including the following:• Stress is a universal underlying cause of

aggression.• Stress can have a negative impact on the

dog’s health.• The dog’s ability to learn is impaired when

she is stressed. I remember when I first took Izzy to training class; she was so stressed out by the other dogs she couldn’t concentrate on me or her instructions.

• Dogs respond poorly to cues when stressed• Negative classical conditioning can occur as

a result of stress.There are several signs of stress. I will name a

few, and there are many more then we have space for here.

Anorexia: Stress causes the appetite to shut down. A dog that won’t eat moderate to high value treats may just be distracted or simply not hungry, but this is more often an indicator of stress

Avoidance: Dog turns away, shuts down, and/or evades handler’s touch and treats.

Digestive disturbances: Vomiting and diar-rhea can be a sign of illness, or stress; the diges-tive system reacts strongly to stress. Carsickness is often a stress reaction.

Hyperactivity: Frantic behavior or just restless pacing, sometimes misinterpreted as ignoring or “blowing off” owner.

Excessive grooming: Dog may lick or chew paws, legs, flank, tail, and genital areas, even to

the point of self- mutilation.Almost every dog-mauls-toddler headline is

followed by an article that includes, among other things, these two phrases:

“The dog was always good with children.” And, “The bite was unprovoked.”

Most people who think their dogs are good with children don’t realize that their dogs only tolerate children – the dogs are actually stressed in the presence of children, at least to some degree. Dogs who are truly good with children adore them; they don’t just tolerate them.

They are delighted to see children, and, with wriggling body, wagging tail, and squinty eyes, can’t wait to go see them. With the rare exception of idiopathic aggression – aggression for which there is no discernible cause – every bite is pro-voked, from the dog’s perspective. We as humans may feel the bite wasn’t just or appropriate, but rest assured the dog felt justified in biting.

What you can do:• Observe your dog closely and make a list of

the behaviors he manifests when stressed. Watch for those subtle ones!

• Study the list to determine which stressors you can remove from your dog’s environ-ment. Create a plan to change his associa-tion from negative to positive with as many of the stressors as possible.

• Watch other dogs you come across a make note of their signs of stress to improve your stress observation skills.

Notice to Owners (James J. Martino and Stacey A. Martino) and Interested Parties (Ciena Capital, LLC, Martino’s Inc., Travis Lawson, Busi-ness Loan Center, Inc., Cicero Pool and Spa and any other interested parties) of Sale of Real Estate for Unpaid Real Estate Property Taxes:

You are hereby notified in accordance with I.C. 6-1.1-25-4.5 of the following information:

A Petition will be filed for a Court Order directing the Hamilton County Auditor to issue a tax deed to the tax sale purchaser, Community Funding Solutions, LLC. The Petition for the Tax Deed will be filed on or after October 18, 2011 upon the request of the tax sale purchaser. The petitioner intends to request that the tax deed be issued on or after November 21, 2011. The real estate was sold at the Tax Sale held on October 14, 2010. Any person may redeem the tax sale property listed below. The purchaser is entitled to reimbursement for additional taxes or special assessments, plus interest, which were paid on the real estate by the purchaser subsequent to the Tax Sale and before redemption. This real estate has not been redeemed as of the date of this notice. The purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee is entitled to receive a deed to the subject real estate if it is not redeemed before the expiration of the period of redemption as specified in I.C. 6-1.1-25-4(a), which will be on October 14, 2011. The purchaser is entitled to reimbursement for costs incurred by the purchaser and described in I.C. 6-1.1-25-2(e).

If the tract or item of real property has been sold for an amount more than the minimum bid and the property is not redeemed, the owner or record of the tract or item of real property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus. If the property is deeded to a 3rd party prior to the issuance of the Tax Title Deed, then only that 3rd party may claim the surplus.

Property Address: 7830 Jackson St., Cicero, IN 46034 Parcel Number: 03-02-36-00-00-045.000 Description (Appearing on Tax Sale Certificate): Acreage 1.90, Section 36, Township 20, Range 4, Hamilton County, Indiana

The amount to redeem this tract or real property from tax sale is the sum of the following: The minimum bid of $7,688.62 plus a flat 15% interest on the minimum bid, plus an accrued 10% interest on the surplus amount of $52,311.38, which was the amount that was overbid on the date of the tax sale, plus title search costs of $150.00, plus attorneys fees of $500.00 and costs of giving this notice as may be certified by the Tax Sale Purchaser. There may also be subsequent taxes or special assessments paid by the tax sale purchaser after the date of the tax sale and before redemption that would also be added to the amount of redemption, plus interest. Please note that IC 6-1.1-24-7 allows the Hamilton County Treasurer to apply surplus tax sale payments to other delinquent property taxes and special assessments that the taxpayer owes and those amounts, plus interest may be part of the tax sale redemption amount. Contact the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office for the exact amount you will need to pay in order to redeem the tract or real property.
