november 1, 2011

Whenever I feel like I’m being an absent father, I do apologize to my son and just say, “I’ve got something to work on that’s very, very

important and one day this will be over with, but until then I can’t take you to things. I can’t take you to movies. I can’t take you to the

ballpark. I can’t go to the (Cincinnati) Reds games like we always used to go to. I can’t do it.” And of course, that’s what happened during the

campaign too, thinking I’d make it all up once the campaign was over. Of course I still can’t do that yet. So that’s half of what I’m fighting

for.Before we get to that, one thing I want to point out, which is rarely reported, is my original home down around Corydon and New Albany.

I’m originally from a Democrat family. I was politically aware at a young age in general, but because I’ve got a large Democrat family that

helped me to (understand) if there was a difference of opinion about politics, I was always respectful of that. ... but I’d always tell people,

I don’t want any of you to do anything that’s going to hurt someone’s livelihood. I don’t want anyone to do anything like file for a prosecutor

or attorney general, or the disciplinary commission, because that is what is what gets people not to want to run for office and that is what

gets people not to want to vote. I said, no matter how bad things get, it can get bad to a certain point, but there’s a certain point to where

you don’t go past. Because then it becomes uncivilized. Now, as to the timeline: You know, the one thing I did that probably did not help

me, but as a citizen I’m very proud to have done this, was … there was a feeling among many factions that (former Hamilton County Prosecutor)

Sonia Leerkamp needed to just retire and go away. I was friends with (Leerkamp) for years, but I felt that she burned a lot of bridges with

the (Hamilton) County Council, when she called them extortionists, because hers was the only office that would not file work reviews for

their employees, and I thought she had a horrible record on (sex crime cases). I believed as a citizen and as a county chairman that she and

her executive staff were incompetent, and they didn’t work well with the county council. And that’s why I met with a man named Paul Felix

several times. I felt I had to get Felix to run. Sonia told one of my good friends that, “I’m going to get him someday for this,” meaning me.

And she sent letters to every precinct committeeman attacking me for supporting Felix, even though in past years I’d supported her. And then

she lost that primary, and everybody was fairly happy. When the charges were filed against me by Greg Purvis and then by Vop Osili, one thing

to understand is that this practice had been done by Democrats in the past against other local officials and nothing was ever done, no matter

what the merits of the case were. It didn’t matter if you were a county chairman, or if you were an elected official currently, Sonia never went

after anybody. It didn’t matter how bad it was. She simply didn’t do it. Or she called a grand jury and found a way to make sure they were given a

“no” bill. So at the time I thought, Here they go again, filing yet another thing and this is ridiculous. because. No. 1, I didn’t do anything

wrong and, No. 2, prosecutors across the state have priorities. They go after people that are dangers to society. They don’t spend their time

letting three special prosecutors go after somebody for something like this. So here we are. I get this phone call to tell me that Vop, my

Democrat opponent was in my office and (an Indianapolis television station) was there with him. The caller’s observation, or point to me was,

“Charlie, I think it’s payback time.” And then a couple hours later, they announce they’re going to pick special prosecutors. Now you have to

understand, this is six weeks before statewide election. Nobody does this. (Leerkamp’s) office doesn’t do anything quickly. I mean, look at

their record on protecting rape victims. They don’t work this quickly. But they worked with greased lightning on this one. They decided to

pick (special prosecutors) so quickly, right before the election, so the Democrats could run ads like the “Sorry Charlie” ads and have all

the headlines they created, but here’s the thing though … we have a five-year statute of limitations on some of these things. What was the big

hurry six weeks before an election to start on this when no other prosecutor in the state would?The problem is, and the biggest regret I have

- and I don’t know how I would have dealt with this differently - but what I really regret is the fact that I didn’t take a step back and look

at the situation. It’s been widely reported out of the entertainment of (an Indianapolis newspaper) about my wife’s debts. My wife had a hard

life. ... I wanted to take care of the woman I intended to marry ... . I don’t regret helping my fiancée, but what I do regret is that I should

have taken a step back and realized, for example, that the fact that someone did use her name and Social Security number to set up bills in

places she never lived, or racked up bills in places she no longer lived, that it would mean I would have to put my name on bills, which they’re

now using against me. When you’re trying to help somebody that needs help, when you know you’re going to get married - and this is something

the media will not report - when she has two children and I have a child - a 6-year-old, a 10-year-old and a 14-year-old - you need to do what

is in the best interest of those children. There is no darn way that I’m going to live (out of his district with Michelle before they wed) every

day until I get married.

That is just the right

thing to do. I

respect

@YouAreCurrent

It is our position the old adage “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” should be the mantra for all. Last month was National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we encourage all women to be vigilant regarding their bodies. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Additionally, almost 2000 men are diagnosed each year.

There are many different types of breast cancer and numerous treat-ment regimens. Women who suspect they have an abnormality should make an appointment with their doctor. The highest risk factor is being a woman and higher for those older than 60 years old. Heredity and unhealthy lifestyles also play a significant role. Although the risk factors for breast cancer are easily discovered on the Internet, one should never depend on that source alone. We encourage women not to be frightened of the mammogram procedure. Improvements have been made that have shortened the procedure time and also lessened the pain. Most insurance plans and Medicare cover the cost of mammograms.

As we enjoy seeing the professional athletes decked out in pink, let’s not forget the reason they have agreed to don this color.

It is our position when the Indianapolis Colts drafted Peyton Manning in 1998, they got more

than they had bargained for. Very few athletes, if any, do as much for their community than Peyton has done for central Indiana.

Not only has Manning brought excitement on the field and the kind of play that has captivated Colts fans, but his commitment off the field is ad-mirable as well. Manning’s Peyback foundation has helped disadvantaged youth by assisting programs that provide leadership. Manning also has the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincents, which provides valu-able resources for sick children.

We believe the argument can also be made without Peyton Manning, Indianapolis would not have a Super Bowl. Very few losing teams get new stadiums and as we see from this year, Manning was a major factor in the Colts’ success.

We do not want to speculate on Manning’s future playing in the NFL, we do believe if anyone can come back from a neck injury like this it is Peyton Manning. His hard work and devotion to the game has given Colts fans no reason to doubt him.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.

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

ARTICLE 15. Miscellaneous Section 7. County areas No county shall be reduced to an area less than four hundred square miles; nor shall any county, under that area, be further reduced.

Section 8. Repealed (Repealed November 8, 1988.)Section 9. State grounds The following grounds owned by the State in

Indianapolis, namely: the State House Square, the Governor’s Circle, and so much of out-lot numbered one hundred and forty-seven, as lies north

of the arm of the Central Canal, shall not be sold or leased.

Section 10. Tippecanoe Battle Ground It shall be the

duty of the General Assembly, to provide for the permanent enclosure and preservation of the Tippecanoe Battle Ground.

ARTICLE 16 Amendments Section 1. Amendments (a) An amend-ment to this Constitution may be proposed in either branch of the General Assembly. If the amendment is agreed to by a majority of the members elected to each of the two houses, the proposed amendment shall, with the yeas and nays thereon, be entered on their journals, and referred to the General Assembly to be chosen at the next general election.

In 1882 wealthy poet, Emma Lazarus, along with a number of other artists and writers, was asked to donate an original poem to support the proposed construction of a monument in New York City. Originally she demurred, claiming she couldn’t really emote for a statue. Moreover, she was already charitably engaged working against the deplorable conditions of those fleeing anti-Semitism across Europe. Eventually, she agreed and penned “The New Colos-sus” hoping it might bring attention to the difficul-ties faced by the arriving refugees into America. Not only was her work well regarded by those attending the benefit, officials ultimately declared it worthy of posting in bronze at the base of the new work, The Statue of Liberty.

Although the whole of the piece is worthy of review, most of us remember, “Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed

to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” The imagery evokes the difficulty of sea-crossing in crowded vessels seeking a new and better way of life in a faraway land. Is it really different than those crossing thousands of miles of jungle and

desert on foot, in auto or on train from Central America seeking a better life for themselves and their families? Regard-less, the recent gaggle of protesters on the tony plazas in and around Wall Street (from many of which, Lady Liberty is fully in view) reminded me of this poem and led me to ponder what Ms. Lazarus might think of the goings-on.

Is America built upon the guarantee of wealth and contentedness? Or, is it a place that only promises the ability of their pursuit? Is it free-dom or something else that is now yearned?

Tired of yearning

Now, before all the anti-Andy Cook folks get all riled up over Westfield resident Mic Mead’s letter to the editor (elsewhere in today’s edition), we need to make one thing perfectly clear: The letters section of this newspaper is open to all comers. Back during the primary election run-up, Mead wrote a load of letters touting the virtues of Cook’s candidacy. We took a lot of heat for that. We were told, among other things, we were “running” Cook’s campaign. Nothing could have been more off base. Time and again, we have stated in this space that this is your newspaper and that news is what our readers say it is. Again, if you want to write a letter and express a view, do it, please. Typically, we restrict length to 200 words. If we have fewer letters, we allow for a bit more in length. The point is, Current is not Cook’s public relations machine, as some have characterized it; were that the case, we’d be charging hizzonor approximately $250 an hour. But it isn’t the case and it won’t be the case. That we happen to agree with most of the moves he makes in an effort to better the city is only our opinion. Letters to the editor, then, may be used to express your opinion(s). Please consider submitting yours

to our managing editor, Lindsay Eckert at [email protected]. Thank you, and don’t forget to vote Nov. 8; it’s your right and your responsibility.

to the 98 Westfield High School seniors that recently were honored for academic excel-lence by the Westfield Washington Board of School Trustees at the 14th-annual Evening of Excellence.

Westfield is opening a new thoroughfare for Hamilton County today, Cool Creek Parkway Road will be dedicated by Mayor Andy Cook at 10 this morning. Last week just up the street Wal-Mart cut the ribbon in celebration of its newly revamped store and those are not the only things brewing in Shamrock City. As the holiday season is slowly starting to whisper through the streets there are plenty of ways to get involved in lighting up your community. Westfield in Lights may be a month away, but the planning for the downtown Christmas festivities, including car-riage rides, gingerbread house contests, a winter market and, of course, the official lighting of the Christmas tree, has reached Santa-sized propor-

tions. If you’d like to get involved in the event please contact, Chairperson Wendy Vivirito at [email protected]. Talking about getting in-

volved, I will be holding “office hours” at Good Life Coffee House, 108 E. Main St. ibeginning Nov. 15. So stop in and share your stories and tips. I will be at the coffee house every Tuesday from 3 to 6p.m. If you don’t get the chance to stop by, send your stories, ideas and events my way at [email protected]. I hope last night brought you many tricks and even more treats!

Editor:Westfield Mayor Andy Cook’s opponents each

want to be mayor, but have not participated in public meetings. One has never attended, but pretends to know everything about the city.

They don’t like Westfield’s two business “mag-nets” (Grand Park and Grand Junction) that already show great promise. Besides the tourism business these will bring, many professional businesses are already planning to be part of it. At a recent school board meeting Superin-tendent Mark Keen stated, “There will be an explosion of applications when the city breaks ground.” He went on to fully support these initiatives to increase our commercial tax base that will bring down every tax bill. No opponent proposes any plan what-so-ever on how to ac-complish this. TIFs are not subsidized as the op-ponents claim. They are paid fully by new taxes on the projects served. These projects would not otherwise exist. They are misinformed to say the

library, etc, are denied revenue by TIFs -just the opposite will be true.

It takes a lot of planning to stay ahead of landowners and developers. Cook has inspired and led citizens to do just that. More than two hundred of us developed our 2007 Comprehen-sive Plan which required special studies for the old downtown to become an economic engine that would preserve the village atmosphere, and for the employment area that will become the sports fields. For nearly four years I, along with many other citizens, have participated in these very public studies. I don’t believe any of Cook’s opponents ever attended. If it were not for Republican Cook’s vision, the developers would overwhelm us as they did before this era of vision and planning.

This time Republicans, don’t take the election for granted. Vote wisely next Tuesday.

I can’t believe I’m already saying this, but the holidays are stressing me out. Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, and Christmas is looming in the background. I have starting losing sleep over upcoming family get-togethers, gift shop-ping and general winter madness. What gives?

I’m going to take the liberty of blaming my parents for this first round of holiday jit-ters. Normally, we go over the (Ohio) River and through the woods (a neighborhood with mature trees) to the grandparents’ house on Thanksgiving and spend the weekend with my side of the family. We devour fowl, we watch Lifetime, we even place a few bets at Churchill Downs. This is Kentucky, people, where bour-bon, tobacco and ponies reign supreme.

But, noooo, this year Mom and Dad are heading to sunny and geriatric-friendly Florida, leaving me and my four siblings home-for-the-holiday-less. So my twin will stay in Los Angeles, my younger sister will be in Columbus, another in Louisville and the baby of the fam-ily will travel to Cleveland to be with her boy-friend. Where does that leave me? Here in Indy, I guess. But Doo’s parents are also in Florida, which is actually irrelevant because Turkey Day is supposed to be about my family. So now it looks like I’ll get a double dose of my in-laws, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s just not

the way it’s supposed to be: My way and with my mommy and daddy!

Christmas shopping? Usually I’d have all the kids’ shopping nearly finished by now, nieces and nephews in the works, and plans for parents com-pleted. This year? Zip. Nada. I haven’t purchased one Barbie doll, Lego set or black pair of socks. I have yet to waste hours on Amazon, or Craig’s List searching for an antique doo-hickey for Grams’ thing-a-ma-bob. I haven’t even compiled a disgustingly detailed list yet. I’m chalking up the delay in maternal obligation to my job and the IRS. This making-a-living thing is really get-ting in the way of my enjoying-life thing.

Added to the anxiety are the admittedly self-in-flicted stress inducers: several baby showers, work parties, the obligatory New Year’s Eve celebration, and two very large birthdays for me and Doo. We both turn 40 in January. Uh-oh, there go my heart palpitations. Deep breaths. What’s a girl to do?

Why, vent to her beloved readers and calm the heck down. After all, the holiday season just wouldn’t be the same without anxiety-induced insomnia, right? So let’s get this party started early. Peace out.

Westfield has announced the deployment of the Flex Map viewer. In cooperation with the Environmental Sys-tems Research Institute and Hamilton County, the City of Westfield’s Informatics Dept. has configured a new Flex Map.

The flex map allows us-ers to retrieve specific data such as address points, council districts, PUD information, public buildings, restaurants, trails, police beats and

much more. This map will allow the public to access data in one location. Users can choose what information they would like to see in any combination and even print a customized map. Addition-ally, the flex map improves internal efficiency by allow-ing employees to edit features from mobile phones in the field.

To use the City’s Flex Map feature, vis-it http://maps.westfield.in.gov.

WWS staff to present at national quality conference



In its continuing work to bring high-profile in-terviews and reporting on and about some of our most interesting citizens, public and private, Cur-rent presents the following exclusive, one-on-one discussion between Terry Anker, its associate editor, and Charlie White, the embattled Indiana secretary of state. The conversation, which included his new bride, Michelle, raised questions ranging from the personal to his all-too-public legal and political battles. The following is a transcript of their words – edited only for space and style. The words and opinions are theirs entirely. Because of the continuing litigation, the questions were intentionally not aimed at legal strategy, precise legal issues or the attorney representing White, ex-Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi. Instead, they were intended to allow the Whites to share their story.

current: What do you tell your kids about this period?

Michelle white: Well, you know we don’t watch the local news and we’re hoping that they’re still oblivious. My oldest daughter is the one that gets feedback from her friends, but they are very supportive. She’s 14 now and it’s actually kind of sad because one of her good guy friends wanted to be in politics until this thing came up. My son is so young that he’s just happy-go-lucky; and with Charlie’s boy, I know his mom talks with him. I just try to make it as normal as possible for the kids even though after work Charlie’s at home doing his research.

charlie white: Whenever I feel like I’m being an absent fa-ther, I do apologize to my son and just say, “I’ve got something to work on that’s very, very important and one day this will be over with, but until then I can’t take you to things. I can’t take you to movies. I can’t take you to the ballpark. I can’t go to the (Cincin-nati) Reds games like we always used to go to. I can’t do it.”

And of course, that’s what happened during the campaign too, thinking I’d make it all up once the campaign was over. Of course I still can’t do that yet. So that’s half of what I’m fighting for.

current: How did the two of you meet and fall in love?Mw: He didn’t ask me out to dinner again soon enough (after

their first blind date), so I kind of made the first move. I mean even though our professional lives are completely different, what we believe in for our family and what we like to do for fun is the same. And, he wanted a normal (non-political) life when he comes home from work, and he found that in me.

cw: Actually, I knew she was the one because I was willing to give up politics for her. Whatever I had to do, I thought, it was okay, so I knew she was the right one.

current: As newlyweds, what’s next for your family?cw: First of all, let me go back to before we were newlyweds.

Michelle was very understanding that I was gone all the time, and through the whole process of actually getting married, meaning, when can Charlie slow down enough to get a wedding together and miss being (Hamilton County Republican chairman), Fish-ers Town Council, trying to do stuff for my former employer and running for statewide office. We had to postpone it to Memorial

Day weekend 2010, and it was one of the best days of my life. You know, it still is. Six weeks before the election was over, I was just looking forward to leaving town and having a real honey-moon. That’s what I was planning on doing. I didn’t plan on this. ... So, we haven’t really gotten to our newlywed stage yet. We’ve always said that when this is over, we’re going to get remarried and we’re going to start this over again and just press the reset button and do a do-over.

Mw: It just feels like our life has been put on pause, and it’s always lingering in the back of our mind, this whole process that we have to go through.

(At this point Michelle White leaves the conversation to go to work.)

current: How did the case unfold?cw: Before we get to that, one thing I want to point out,

which is rarely reported, is my original home down around Co-rydon and New Albany. I’m originally from a Democrat family. I was politically aware at a young age in general, but because I’ve got a large Democrat family that helped me to (understand) if there was a difference of opinion about politics, I was always respectful of that. ... but I’d always tell people, I don’t want any of you to do anything that’s going to hurt someone’s livelihood. I don’t want anyone to do anything like file for a prosecutor or attorney general, or the disciplinary commission, because that is what gets people not to want to run for office and that is what gets people not to want to vote. I said, no matter how bad things get, it can get bad to a certain point, but there’s a certain point to where you don’t go past. Because then it becomes uncivilized. Now, as to the timeline: You know, the one thing I did that prob-ably did not help me, but as a citizen I’m very proud to have done this, was … there was a feeling among many factions that (former Hamilton County Prosecutor) Sonia Leerkamp needed to just retire and go away. I was friends with (Leerkamp) for years, but I felt that she burned a lot of bridges with the (Hamilton) County Council, when she called them extortionists, because hers was the only office that would not file work reviews for their employees, and I thought she had a horrible record on (sex crime cases). I believed as a citizen and as a county chairman that she and her executive staff were incompetent, and they didn’t work

well with the county council. And that’s why I met with a man named Paul Felix several times. I felt I had to get Felix to run. Sonia told one of my good friends that, “I’m going to get him someday for this,” meaning me. And she sent letters to every precinct committeeman attack-ing me for supporting Felix, even though in past years I’d supported her. And then she lost that primary, and everybody was fairly happy. When the charges were filed against me by Greg Purvis and then by Vop Osili, one thing to understand is that this practice had been done by Democrats in the past against other local officials and noth-ing was ever done, no matter what the merits of the case were. It didn’t matter if you were a county chairman, or if you were an elected of-ficial currently, Sonia never went after anybody. It didn’t matter how bad it was. She simply didn’t do it. Or she called a grand jury and found a way to make sure they were given a “no” bill. So at the time I thought, Here they go again, filing yet another thing and this is ridiculous. No. 1, I

didn’t do anything wrong and, No. 2, prosecutors across the state have priorities. They go after people that are dangers to society. They don’t spend their time letting three special prosecutors go after somebody for something like this. So here we are. I get this phone call to tell me that Vop, my Democrat opponent was in my office and (an Indianapolis television station) was there with him. The caller’s observation, or point to me was, “Charlie, I think it’s payback time.” And then a couple hours later, they an-nounce they’re going to pick special prosecutors.

Now you have to understand, this is six weeks before statewide election. Nobody does this. (Leerkamp’s) office doesn’t do anything quickly. I mean, look at their record on protecting rape victims.

They don’t work this quickly. But they worked with greased lightning on this one. They decided to pick (special prosecutors) so quickly, right before the election, so the Democrats could run ads like the “Sorry Charlie” ads and have all the headlines they created, but here’s the thing though … we have a five-year statute of limitations on some of these things. What was the big hurry six weeks before an election to start on this when no other pros-ecutor in the state would?

current: Some have claimed that this prosecution is disproportionately aggressive. If you agree, why do you be-lieve it to be so?

cw: Well, I’ve maintained from the beginning that we’ve bro-ken no laws and ... the law was there to protect people that are in transition. And that’s why I won the recount decision three to nothing with three judges. The three judges on the case were all attorneys and one of them was a former Democrat judge here in Hamilton County, Buddy Pylitt. So when you look at the law and you apply all of the current controlling case laws, it’s all on my side. But the problem is when the media will not report what the law is. Now, they didn’t mind that Evan Bayh - all this law that we have today is because of Evan Bayh - he was secretary of state and an attorney when he ran for governor when they

were saying he did not have residency because he lived in Washington, D.C., during part of that time. He said in front of everyone that when-ever he came home he lived in his dad’s condo in Marion County. Then the Republican Party said, “Why are you voting in Vigo (County) even though you haven’t lived there since you were 7?” So (Bayh) was claim-ing that he was living in Marion County, and (former Indiana State Re-publican Chairman) Gordon Dernil, who was on the recount board for me, claimed that he committed voter fraud and voter registration fraud, and the media attacked Republicans for nitpicking. They all canonized Evan Bayh for being a victim. All the same newspapers that went against me - including (an Indianapolis newspaper) ... and we’re talking about a 15-minute drive between precincts for me, versus states away for Evan Bayh - said we needed a choice, you don’t need to nitpick. So nobody wanted to prosecute Evan Bayh criminally, so they still went for the civil candidacy challenge, which Evan Bayh won, which is still controlling case law on the residency issue.

Now every time I bring up Evan Bayh’s name, the same people in the media who covered that case want to have amnesia and act like it never happened because my dad wasn’t a senator and I’m just a regular average middle-income citizen.

I don’t have a political pedigree. And every time I talk about Evan Bayh they say, “Well that’s Evan Bayh.” Well, who cares; he’s a citizen. But most importantly, if we’re all concerned about this now … remember on Evan Bayh’s case that he stopped being a senator on Dec. 31, 2010. He lives in D.C., his wife lives in D.C., and the man voted by absentee ballot in Indianapolis. He claims as a homestead an $80,000 home in Indianapolis that he does not live in. He lives in D.C. in a $2.3 million home. My point is, I’m not saying Evan Bayh is committing voter fraud, I’m saying,

Secretary of State Charlie White is facing seven felony counts after a special Grand Jury was convened earlier this year to look into possible criminal charges when White’s legal residence in Fishers was ques-tioned. Those seven charges, which were announced March 3, include:

count 1: submission of a false, fictitious or fraud-ulent registration application – a class d felony. The Grand Jury said White knowingly or intentionally sent a voter registration change of address form on Feb. 23, 2010, to the Hamilton County Board of Voter Reg-istration representing his new address was 7527 Broad Leaf Lane in Fishers, when he knew he would be living at 13086 Overview Drive in Fishers at the time of the next election, which was the 2010 primary election.

count 2: perjury – a class d felony. On Feb. 23, 2010, the Grand Jury said White committed the of-fense of perjury by knowingly or intentionally making a false material statement under oath or affirmation knowing that his voter registration change of address form was false.

count 3: Fraud on a financial institution – a class c felony. The Grand Jury said on Feb. 26, 2010, White knowingly executed a scheme or artifice to obtain money, funds or property owned by or under the custody or control of a state or federally-chartered insured financial institution by means of false or fraud-ulent pretenses, representations or promises. The jury felt that in a real estate closing transaction White rep-resented an intention to reside at 13086 Overview Dr. within 30 days of Feb. 26, 2010, and said that misrep-resentation was material for White to obtain the loan

and more favorable interest rate.count 4: Voting in other district – a class d

felony. On May 4, 2010, the Grand Jury said White committed the offense of voting in other district by voting in Delaware Township Precinct 12 – indicating that he resided at 7527 Broad Leaf Lane – when in fact he was living at 13086 Overlook Dr. at the time, which is located in Fishers Fall Creek Township Precinct 5.

count 5: procuring, casting or tabulating a false, fictitious or fraudulent ballot – a class d felony. The Grand Jury said that on May 4, 2010, White intention-ally cast a vote in Fishers at Delaware Township Pre-cinct 12 when he was residing in Fall Creek Township Precinct 5.

count 6: perjury – a class d felony. On May 18, 2010, the Grand Jury said White committed perjury by stating on his marriage license application to the Hamilton County Clerk’s Office, and under affirmation of the truth, that his residence was 7527 Broad Leaf Lane in Fishers when it was 13086 Overlook Dr. in Fishers.

count 7: theft – a class d felony. The Grand Jury said from Nov. 5, 2009, to Sept. 28, 2010, White committed theft by taking his pay as a Fishers Town Council member for District 2 when he did not reside in that council district.

Under Indiana law, White’s one Class C felony count carries a penalty upon conviction of a fixed term between two and eight years in prison. Each of White’s six Class D felony counts carries a penalty of six months to three years in prison. All seven felony counts carry a fine of up to $10,000.

if Evan Bayh is allowed to do that, then every citizen of Indiana should be allowed to have that flexibility. Why do Evan and Susan Bayh get to have more rights than the rest of us?

current: What would be an idea resolu-tion for the case?

cw: Well an ideal resolution to this case would be that the case be dropped. I want to get on with my life. I want to start the marriage that I began. I haven’t even been able to have a honeymoon yet. I’d like to be able to go on a honeymoon. I’d like to be able to spend time with my son again. I’d like to be able to spend time with (Michelle’s) kids again. The other thing that’s still very important is that the longer that this drags out, this is not good for our elec-tions process or our campaign process because the more this goes on … we can’t have people not wanting to vote or run for office because of what happened to me. I don’t want them thinking that they’re going to have to talk to their wives and their family if they think they’re going to win and you have someone who’s sour grapes who might lose and they’re going to end up being like me and spending nearly $200,000 in legal fees. But be-tween the legal fees, between the $45,000 spent by the taxpayers for the recount commission to their executive director and what will eventually be paid special prosecutors, this will be the most expen-sive vote in Indiana history.

current: Regardless of the out-

come of this case, how do you move on with your lives?

cw: It’s obviously been challenging. Having said that when we’re done with this, no matter what the outcome is, we’ve always said it’s wher-ever God wants us to be. But you don’t give up just because, to a lot of the mainstream media, it’s entertaining, or that they’re getting bored with it or they don’t understand the law and they don’t want to report it. Part of their story is that they just want this guy to go. Literally, for the Democrats and some of the people in the media, I think, the fairy tale end to the story would be if my family and I would just simply curl up into a ball and die. We will not do that for their entertainment.

current: What is your greatest personal

disappointment?cw: I really thought that as the next sec-

retary of state, I was going to be the guy that helped tone down the partisan rhetoric about certain election issues and focus on the core functions that the legislature has allowed us to work on. My disappointment was that this has caused me not to be able to do that, No. 1. No. 2, I’m very disappointed that I feel like I was kind of like a hot potato. The local prosecutor’s office, whether they had malice or not, they just had a bad media week and they just wanted to pass the hot potato to somebody else so they wouldn’t have to deal with it.

current: What is your biggest regret?cw: The problem is, and the biggest regret I

have - and I don’t know how I would have dealt with this differently - but what I really regret is the fact that I didn’t take a step back and look at the situation. It’s been widely reported out of the entertainment of (an Indianapolis news-paper) about my wife’s debts. My wife had a hard life. ... I wanted to take care of the woman I intended to marry ... . I don’t regret helping my fiancée, but what I do regret is that I should have taken a step back and realized, for example, that the fact that someone did use her name and Social Security number to set up bills in places she never lived, or racked up bills in places she no longer lived, that it would mean I would have to put my name on bills, which they’re now using against me. When you’re trying to help somebody who needs help, when you know you’re going to get married - and this is some-

thing the media will not report - when she has two children and I have a child - a 6-year-old, a 10-year-old and a 14-year-old - you need to do what is in the best interest of those children. There is no darn way that I’m going to live (out of his district with Michelle before they wed) ev-ery day until I get married. That is just the right thing to do. I respect the wishes of the woman I love, even if it’s inconvenient. I did what was right for the children.

I regret the time I’ve spent away from my family. I regret all of the vacations I’ve missed, all of the weddings I’ve missed, the time I missed with my son, helping other people who, at the first sign of trouble, ran. I think that should be a lesson.

If you ever help people get elected to office, try to just help people you’re friends with. It makes me think, My God, I’ve spent 25 years of my life helping other people locally and state-wide and what did it get for me? That’s what my relatives keep asking me, “Why did you help all of these people? It didn’t do you any good.”

The two candidates for City Council debated over questions asked by the audience Oct 19. Incumbent Robert Smith and Westfield resident Jose Beyer explained how they could bring in jobs and make Westfield an ideal destination if re-elected or elected as city councilman.

Beyer, long-term resident and father of two, said he’s running for councilman to reel in spending and make a change in the community.

“I feel we need change, I feel we are out of control with spending and we need to slow down,” Beyer said. “I feel in my heart we are spending on wants and not needs of the com-munity. Sidewalks are dangerous and need at-tention, people in wheelchairs can’t use them.”

Incumbent Smith, who has served as a vol-unteer firefighter and is a retired fire chief, said being a councilman is a job he loves and knows.

“I know where Westfield needs to go and I

can follow it through,” Smith said. “I can make it a place of destination and control taxes.”

The candidates discussed the Grand Park Sports Campus, discussing their opposing views on its impact on the community.

Smith said the complex is the key to West-field’s growing success.

“Grand Park is an economic engine, it will decrease tax rates, there will be private-sector investments that will pay for itself,” Smith said about concerns of how the complex will be paid off. “There’s no doubt it’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to Westfield, I’m proud to be a part of it.”

However, Beyer said he’s concerned about worst-case scenarios.

“Carmel taxpayers are getting the blunt of the Palladium, Grand Park is a great idea but our city isn’t big enough to support it,” Beyer said. “Taxpayers will end up being the ones forking out all the dough.”

Westfield mayoral candidates gathered at City Hall Oct. 19 to answer questions from the audi-ence in a debate. The non-partisan group, The League of Women Voters, hosted and moni-tored the event.

Mayor Andy Cook (R), Todd Hoard (I) and Mike Waite (L) debated on questions from the audience ranging from Grand Park to tax abate-ments and what they have to offer Westfield as a political leader; however, a pressing question about TIFs provoked a wide array of answers from the candidates.

Waite, a South Bend native, said TIFs is not an option he’s impressed with.

“I don’t like it, it locks money in one area, it relies on one area to develop and you can’t take it back to help other areas grow,” Waite said. “It’s not fair, there’s not one study that shows

how it moves business in.”Hoard said he’s not against it, but it must be

used properly to succeed. “If it’s not used properly and too much mon-

ey is drawn there isn’t enough to pay for main-tenance,” Hoard said. “If we are going to build three- and five- story mid rises we are going to need more experience, more police.”

Cook said TIFs is what keeps cities competitive.

“It’s an aspect for increasing our economic de-velopment to compete with other cities,” Cook said. “If we do away with it, we can’t compete in the real world. Businesses won’t locate in West-field without roads, water and sewers required to keep up with our growing community.”

Some of the more challenging impacts on local businesses during construction on US 31 will involve hindered access, decline in customer traffic, possible loss of business and

forced or voluntary business relocation. How would you address these (or other) issues to support the business community and to stem possible declines in tax base?

Current in WestfieldThe Westfield Chamber requested responses

to questions that were sent out in mid-August to all three candidates running for Westfield mayor. The candidates - incumbent Andy Cook (Republican), Todd Hoard (independent) and Mike Waite (Libertarian) - received the list of questions and responded.

Each candidate was issued the same guide-lines, which included that each response would be limited to the first 200 words. Each candi-date was informed that responses would be pub-lished unedited.

For more information you may contact the chamber at 804.3030 or at [email protected].

Westfield mayoral candidate Q & A

The US 31 Freeway will be a tremen-dous asset and an economic develop-ment driver for our community when completed. It will also be painful for some residents and businesses during construction. To mitigate some of the potential traffic issues, we are currently developing the East Access Road (behind Wal-Mart and Marsh), widening 151st Street and constructing a new round-about on 151st Street to better move traffic through the area. Additionally, we are working with INDOT and the U.S. Department of Transportation to construct the West Access Road, which is proposed to be located parallel to US 31 on the

west side, connecting Union Street to Western Way. These projects will un-doubtedly help with traffic disturbances during the construction process. As it relates to the existing businesses, we are constantly working with INDOT, the Chamber of Commerce and the business community to work through

issues or concerns stemming from the project. We have a team consisting of City, Chamber and INDOT personnel specifically dedicated to assisting businesses on all aspects of the project. These coordinated efforts will offset the disrup-tion caused by the project before, during and after construction.

Cook

Lessoning the impact to our existing businesses will be the challenge. West-field needs to reach out to our existing businesses and promote our businesses to residents and commuters. Businesses needs to reach out to the community to let us know what there needs are and that they are committed to Westfield. We need to be working hand in hand with INDOT to do what we can to retain commerce in the City of Westfield. Westfield’s US 31 is currently under construction but once this is completed, West-field has a great chance to optimize our US 31 as a businesses corroder to attract new business

and to retain existing Business. But I’m afraid that we are going squander a great opportunity to capitalize on the new improvements and business areas because we are not competitive on our com-mercial property taxes with surrounding communities. By decreasing the high commercial property taxes, I hope to

retain businesses that have to relocate and attract businesses wanting to locate to the new high vis-ibility corroder of US 31. We should be able to attract new businesses, employees and customers with the now shorter commute from other com-munities that the US 31 upgrades will give us.

Hoard

A meeting should be held immediately between the City of Westfield, INDOT, and the businesses affected. The last thing Westfield needs is for another business to leave our community for Carmel. As mayor I will bend over backwards to make this major inconvenience as easy as

possible to these businesses. According to the county auditor Dawn Coverdale this office is unable to calculate the property tax loss at this time. We must have true figures to answer this question.

Current in WestfieldThe Westfield Washington Education Devel-

opment Foundation has awarded over $14,000 in grants to 32 teachers in Westfield Washing-ton Schools for the 2011-2012 school year.

Since 1992, the education foundation has awarded more than $154,000 in grants to 180 educators in the district. This year the total was $14,070.51. Teachers can submit grants for special projects not funded through the school’s normal budget process up to $1,000.

“Our goal is to encourage innovative teach-ing by rewarding educational excellence,” said Jan Skinner, executive director of the Education Foundation. “These grants directly benefit our students.

grammar lessOnBy Brandie Bohney

It isn’t very often that grammatical correctness is based on perspective. A few things are based on the style manual to which one adheres and quite a few decisions can be based on formality and audience. But per-spective? Not so much.

But one specific exam-ple of when perspective should have everything to do with word choice is the difference between take and bring.

I hear take and bring confused all the time. And there’s good reason for that, really. It’s not always immediately obvious which word should be used. But there is an easy way to remember which word to use when, and it depends en-tirely on your perspective.

For instance, if I want Uncle Albert at my party, but Al doesn’t drive, I need someone to bring him. He’s coming to me, and I’m stay-ing put, so from my perspective, the word of choice is bring. From Uncle Albert’s perspective, though, the word choice changes. He wants to come to my party, but he doesn’t drive, so he needs someone to take him there.

If you flip the situation a bit, and Uncle Al-bert is being a cranky sourpuss at my otherwise awesome party, I’ll want him to leave. But again,

he doesn’t drive, so I’ll ask someone to take him home. If I call his wife, Aunt Suzette, she’ll tell me to have someone bring him home. Again, the word choice depends on perspective.

I once heard someone relate the take-and-bring issue to food: you don’t order bring-out

food, you order take-out food. It’s take-out food because you take it away from the restaurant and take it home. I think the analogy would work bet-

ter if delivery services were referred to as bring-in food since the restaurant is bringing the food to you (at least from your perspective). That would clear it up entirely, would it not?

So really, it’s all about whether what you’re talking about is coming or going. And speaking of coming and going, those words also abide by the same rules. I ask you to come to the party. You decide to go. I tell you to bring Uncle Al-bert. You stop to bring him with you.

Now if we can just get that new bring-in de-livery service.

Coming or going?

» Save on airfare – Buckle up. This holiday season is on track to bring higher-priced airfares than in recent years. Here’s a tip: Buy one ticket at a time. When you hunt for multiple tickets online, and there aren’t enough of the cheapest seats to go around, the computer will bump up to higher priced tickets without showing you what you’re missing. If you shop one by one, you can save on one or more ticket.

» Gardening tip – Many gardening instructions refer to a “frost” or a “hard freeze.” But what is the difference be-tween a frost and a hard freeze? A frost refers to the conditions that allow a layer of ice crystals to form when water va-por condenses and freezes without first becoming dew. A hard freeze is a period of at least four consecutive hours of air temperatures that are below 25 degrees. Many plants can survive a brief frost, but very few can survive a hard freeze.

» More flights to Cuba – By year-end, four of the largest U.S. airlines will oper-ate about 25 weekly flights to Cuba for charter companies. AMR Corp.’s Ameri-can Airlines has been flying to Cuba for two decades, and JetBlue Airways Corp. arrived last month. The world’s two big-gest carriers by traffic, United Continental Holdings Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc., are resuming weekly service to Cuba after a seven-year hiatus.

» Get the most out of ice – “One of my favorite tricks is taking an ingredi-ent in a cocktail and freezing it to make ice cubes—for instance, turning lime juice into ice for margaritas. If the ice has enough flavor, it won’t water down the drink,” said Jeff Groh of the Ten 01 bar in Oregon. “In the summer, I add spirits to ice. The alcohol and sugar keep the ice from freezing solid, so ice crystals flake off, creating a sweet goodness best de-scribed as ‘slushy-esque.’”

A Westfield author is writing to touch the hearts of her book’s readers. A story about loss and tragedy follows a family through the emotions fol-lowing their sister’s illegal abortion. Shauna Nosler, auther of “The Care-takers” said the emotions related to the abortion are only the beginning of the story. The heart of the story is how the char-acters deal with the event’s sorrow differently.

“Some people can take tragedy and learn to live with it, and some people let tragedy rule their life,” Nosler said. “The girl who had the abortion comes to terms with it quicker, but 20 years later the brother is still devastated by it.”

“The Caretakers” is Nosler’s first novel, which she self-published after working on it for nearly three years.

“I spent three years writing it, then I just dropped all of it and started from scratch; I finished the book in six weeks after that,” Nosler said. “The characters and the plot are similar (to the original version); however, life changes in three years. When I read (the original version) I wrote back then I had a new way of looking at things so I started over.”

Nosler said her love for writing and expressing her thoughts on paper has been a characteristic since she was a child, but it was a teacher who inspired her to use paper and a pencil as her cre-ative tool to a career in writing.

“I’ve always played with writing, my high school English teacher was a big encourager for me to write short stories,” Nosler said. “She’s the per-fect example of proper and kind, she’s teaching English now in Tanzania to children who live in the bush there. She’s someone who really listened to me and I dedicated this book to her.”

Nosler, a mother of three, said the process of finishing her novel was engrained in her daily life and a part of who she is.

“I carry index cards everywhere I go. It’s not 9 to 5, but it’s my job,” Nosler said. “Holding the (published) book in my hands is an awesome feeling and it makes me want to write more.”

Nosler’s first novel and the support of local book clubs have inspired her to write a sequel to the novel.

“Some responses from people ask, ‘Why did this happen?’ and ‘What happened to this person?’ ”

Although Nosler is planning a sequel in the future, she’s currently directing her efforts to-ward a new book, “The Ruby Throats.”

“It’s about five women who are friends and decide they need to grow up, they make a plan to spend a year living irresponsibly and do whatever they want; however, one of the charac-ters dies and gives them a new outlook.”

Nosler’s book is available on Amazon and Kindles. A local book club will be hosting a book signing for Nosler at the 116th Street Star-bucks Nov. 12 from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

The Stratford | Carmel’s Premier Continuing Care Retirement Community

2460 Glebe Street | Carmel, IN 46032 www.Stratford-Living

There’s SNOW place

like Home.While the rest of the Indianapolis area will be stuck inside and constrained by the various ice and snow storms coming this winter, we’ll be living it up at The Stratford!

At The Stratford we don’t have to go outside to get to our granddining room for a delicious, hot meal. We don’t have to drive anywhere to pick out a good read from our library. No one has to hit the sidewalk to travel to the wellness center for some exercise (ours is just down the hall in the clubhouse). We don’t even have to clean up after our parties because the amazing staff here does it for us.

In short, while the rest of the area is digging out—we‘ll be living it up! This could be you this winter, so call 317-733-9560 now and ask our Lifestyle Advisors about the benefits of living at The Stratford. By the first snow of this year—you’ll be glad you did!

Ingredients: 2 lbs. ground turkey; 3 pkgs. McCormick’s chili mix (or your favorite); 3 28oz. cans whole-peeled tomatoes (un-drained); 4 15oz. cans dark red kidney beans (un-drained)To Prepare: Brown the turkey in a large pot, drain it if you must, and then add everything else. Bring the mixture to a low boil and then reduce the heat to allow the chili to simmer for one hour. Stir the mixture occasionally. Serve with oyster crackers or French bread. If you have children at your party, you can float some hot dogs in this chili for 15 minutes

and serve them on buns to the kids. WARNING: Unless you tailgate with wimps, you’ll need to have enough chili to serve everyone at least two bowls of this cold weather favorite. The whole tomatoes become very hot and sooth one’s pipes in the sore-throat cold weather post-game tailgate party

Football season, in our state, begins around Labor Day and ends usually after Thanksgiving. Early in the season temperatures are in the high 80s, for our tailgate party, with a hot sun burn-ing us. This is when we need shelter from the sun, we hope for a breeze and we use sunscreen to protect our skin. Fast forward to November and this is the time of the year we serve cold

foods and cold beverages. Things change a lot in a short three months.

Usually by late season we are expecting snow or freezing rain and dreading wind blowing a chill almost right through our bones. This is when we eat hot foods and drink hot beverages. It’s the season when we try to look to sit in the sun and get some shelter from the wind.

» Heartburn, or something else? – Although gallstones don’t always cause symptoms, a stone blocking your bile duct can hurt, usually in the middle or upper-right side of the abdo-men. Pain may be cramping, dull, or sharp, and often strikes minutes after you eat. If you’re experiencing stomach pain after meals that doesn’t improve after you take an over-the-counter acid-suppressing medication, gall-

stones should be suspected, says Joel Richter, MD, of Temple University School of Medicine.

» Prevent migraines without drugs – Exer-cise has been found to prevent mi-graines just as well as medicine and re-laxation techniques, according to a new study re-leased from a university in Sweden. In the study, migraine patients were divided into three groups. One group was told to exercise for 40 minutes three times a week, another took a common migraine-preventative drug based on the substance topiramate and a third group was given relaxation exercises. After six months, migraine frequency dropped the same amount for all three groups.

COmmentary By Barry eppley

Best questions of the week from my inbox:Q: How long do silicone-gel breast implants

last? I’ve heard the thicker shell and the more cohesive gel increases the longevity of the sili-cone implants. What is the average life span of the improved silicone implants?

A: The reality is no one knows for sure how long any breast implant will last. It is presumed newer generation silicone gel implants will last longer than those in the past and it would certainly seem to be true with improved manu-facturing methods and materials development; however, until the currently-used silicone gel implants have been used for 15 to 20 years, their average lifespan will remain speculative. It is important to recognize most breast implants will eventually rupture, it’s good to have an un-derstanding of the manufacturer’s warranty.

Q: I am in need of some breast help. I have breast-fed all three of my children. I have also lost 45 pounds over the past year through diet and exercise; now my breasts are saggy. I, without question, need a breast lift. Can I get by without breast implants. I’m happy with

the size of my breasts when I wear a good bra (currently 40D) but unhappy with how de-flated and saggy they are without a bra.

A: Breast lifts do an excellent job of lifting and tightening the shape of the breast mound. By keeping the same amount of breast tis-sue and lifting and tightening the ‘bag’ which contains them, this does create a less saggy and more round breast. This is particularly true in the bottom pole of the breast and less in the upper pole of the breast. After a breast-lift sur-gery, the upper pole of the breast is quite round and full; however, as the tissues relax and settle, much of the upper pole fullness will be lost. If one doesn’t mind some rebound flattening of the upper breast pole, then I think you would be fine with only a breast lift. However, if your goal is to have a rounder and a fuller upper breast pole long-term, then a small implant will be needed to accomplish that breast shape goal.

The skinny behind surgery

Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon. Comments can be sent to [email protected]

» Stop grazing – A few years back, “grazing” came into vogue in dieting circles. But a study published in 2010 found that people who eat low-calorie diets feel more satisfied when they eat three times a day compared to six times a day, suggesting that mini meals aren’t beneficial for appetite control. Eating constantly throughout the day increases salivary secretion and the production of digestive enzymes that stimulate the gut. Instead, divide your calories around three meals and one or two snacks, going at least three hours and up to four or five without eating. The goal is to eat when you’re hungry but not starving, which reduces the risk of overeating.

» Can NSAIDs cut cancer deaths? – Older women who take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs — such as aspirin or ibuprofen — appear to have a lower risk of death from colorectal cancer than women who don’t use these medications, a large new study suggests. Women who reported using these drugs at the beginning of the study and three years later had a roughly 30 percent lower rate of death from colorectal cancer than women who did not take the drugs or discontinued taking them, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. While the study found an association between NSAID use and a reduced risk of colorectal cancer, it did not prove a cause-and-effect.

Truth: It may seem so, but experts scoff. “Hair can’t tell the difference between brands or build up tolerance to any product,” says London-based hair and scalp expert Philip Kingsley. “Your favorite shampoo will work the same every time you lather up, week after week,

month after month.” If you have very oily hair or favor a particularly sticky styling product that contains wax, it does pay to use a clarifying shampoo once every two weeks to wash away residue. Good Housekeeping’s Beauty Department recommends Redken Hair Cleansing Cream and Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo.

» Balenciaga gets wick-ed – Now there’s a way to worship at the altar of Nicolas Ghesquiere without dropping thou-sands of dollars: the brand’s just released their first candle. L’Essence is inspired by their latest fragrance (of the same name), a soft mix of moss, flow-ers, and leaves as an ode to Ghesquiere’s appreciation for violets. It comes in a sleek mercury-glass canister and could (maybe) provide temporary gratification while you’re waiting to purchase the brand’s amazing high-waisted spring jeans. The candle’s avail-able at Balenciaga boutiques in November, or Bergdorf Goodman starting now, for $65.

Greetings from the Fall 2011 High Point Fur-niture Show, the world’s epicenter of home fur-nishing trends. I wish you were here. I am writing this on day three as I tend to my tired feet and blisters, the universal malady of furniture mart.

I confess I adore going to Mart. For one week, twice a year, I am like a four-year-old at Disney World. The thrill of peeking into the crystal ball of interior decorating trends gives me child-like butterflies of excitement.

The first trend of the Fall 2011 show is the focus on collections mapping our lives. These en masse objects d’arte are in vignettes as bottles, vintage games, framed art and anything reflect-ing who we are and where we have been.

Customization is a strong trend simply because it has become more accessible. It is also a result of an increasing consumer demand for homes to differentiate from the neighbors’ homes.

Designs for small spaces are still gaining in popularity as the size of the American home shrinks. The expectation a piece of furniture will multi-task has become the norm and an otto-man without storage is almost an anomaly now.

Second homes and vacation homes are on the rise as real estate prices remain depressed leaving costal and lake-cottage décor strong. Some of these elements, such as shells, have spilled over into main stream décor with a smooth transition.

British Invasion is as strong as it was in 1964

when Ed Sullivan hosted the “Fab Four.” Wil-liam, Kate and Pippa might be the source of this novel preoccupation or it just might be nostalgia for the scratchy stains of “Let It Be” revolving on a turntable.

Celebrity-designer branding is as big as ever. Candace Olsen, Barclay Butterra and Kathy Ireland have lent their names to everything from cork floors and chandeliers to sofas. Celebrity brands help guide a consumer to a type of look, but often help to inflate the pricing.

Raw and weathered wood paired with linen still reign throughout furniture mart-dom.

Espresso or black wood is a trend manufac-turers would like to put to bed, the customers still want it. Although it has been shelved in contemporary decorating settings, we will con-tinue to see it in traditional décor.

Made in USA has taken on a new impor-tance and is announced with every opportunity. The uncertainty in China and the exchange rate combined with the increased cost of ship-ping, vendors are looking closer to home. At this week’s High Point Market, the domestic production theme will be on display in a 16,000-square-foot Made in America Pavilion

If you’re pressed for time and need to blow dry, use a wide tooth comb to pick up hair at the roots and blow dry, roots to ends, with high heat. • ShineRub a drop of Salon 01 Shine drops through the ends of your hair for a polished finish!

How To: Beachy Hair All Year Long

We have seen ads and commercials by all the leading drug store manufacturers for sonic facial cleansing brushes. This technology was actually created by a company called Clarisonic. The Clarisonic brand is not available in drugstores, though many imitation cleansing brush systems exist. Salon 01 carries the Clarisonic Pro for Face & Body. This facial brush cleanses 6x better then manual cleansing alone. The sonic micro-massage loosens and removes dirt, oil and makeup from pores. We have had excellent feedback from clients and staff alike who will never go a day again without using their Clarisonic. Don't be fooled by copy cats that can actually irritate the skin over time! Stop in Salon 01 to learn more about this revolutionary skin cleansing and rejuvenating system today!

remOdelIngBy larry greene

ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home was built in 2001 at the Springknoll subdivision in Zionsville. The fam-ily lived in the home for almost nine years before they wanted more space in their kitchen for their family to properly function. According to the homeowners, “The island was too small. The breakfast nook was not used. The cabinets were getting beat up. The appliances were outdated. We wanted to put in a wine refrigerator.”

CREATING NEW FUNCTIONAL-ITY: The new design provides the homeowners with a more functional kitchen. They noted, “We spend most of our family time in the kitchen. We have two boys, nine and 12. It’s been a great experience for all of us in our new and functioning kitchen.”

CABINET DETAILS: The perimeter and island countertops are granite in a blue-eyes color. The backsplash is Adex-beveled subway tile in Neri White installed in a staggered pattern with white grout. The cabinets are full overlay semi-custom cabinets in a Heritage door-style. The perimeter

cabinets are painted white and the island is paint-ed black. All drawers were upgraded to five-piece, full extension and soft close. The island overhang is supported by decorative and turned legs. Fi-nally, new glass doors were installed for the wall cabinets above the dry bar area.

NEW ISLAND FEATURES: The homeowner commented, “We love the island. We eat around the island all of the time. We don’t have a dining room so everything is centered in the kitchen. We love the color contrast between the island and the rest of the cabinets in the kitchen. We

love the granite that was chosen. The colors are black, gray and white. The granite has a blue design in it that is a rare find. The design stands out with the fixtures chosen during our remodel design phase. It is just a nice subtle look.”

COmmentaryBy John mikesell

There is an unfortunate myth floating around in some parts of the dog-train-ing world. The myth says if you give reassurance to a fearful dog you will reinforce his fearful behavior; therefore, you must ignore your dog when he’s trembling at your feet in fear.

Hogwash. Think back in your own life to a time when you were very fright-ened or upset. Did it help you feel better to have some-one you trusted come up and put his or her arm around you and calmly reassure you everything was going to be alright? Of course it did. Our dogs aren’t any different.

When emotions run high, we are more concerned with helping our dogs get those emotions back under control. When a dog is afraid, the emotional part of the brain, the amygdale, takes over, and the thinking part of the brain, the cortex, doesn’t work well. The over-

threshold dog isn’t even capable of con-necting his behavior to reinforcement, which is why we try hard in behavior-modification protocols to keep the dog below threshold so learning can happen. If he is shaking in fear, your calm voice and slow, gentle petting can be hugely reassuring to him; however, fast rub-bing and anxious tone are not. Izzy was fearful of other dogs and storms when she came to live with me. It took some

work, but she gradually overcame her fear of other dogs. Thunderstorms were another story. She was aggressive and she tried to chase the thunder. Karma is also afraid of storms, but she is doing better. I always try to hold her when she starts shaking and she calms down a little now. It is a work in progress. Don’t be afraid to try.

Be brave with your buddy

» Green-glowing cats - U.S. sci-entists have developed a strain of green-glowing cats with cells that resist infection from a virus that causes feline AIDS, a finding that may help prevent the disease in cats and advance AIDS research in people. The study, published Sunday in the journal Nature Methods, in-volved inserting monkey genes that block the virus into feline eggs, or oocytes, before they are fertilized. The scientists also inserted jellyfish genes that make the modified cells glow an eerie green color — making the altered genes easy to spot. Tests on cells taken from the cats show

they are resistant to feline immuno-deficiency virus, or FIV, which causes AIDS in cats.

» Insurance for older pets – Ten years ago, once a cat or dog turned 8 years old, it was next to impos-sible to buy insurance for him or her. Today, a few companies have no age limit at all, and the cutoff for others is into the double digits. Know that as your pet ages, policy prices can rise as much as 10 percent with each year (this usually translates into only a few more dollars each month).

People will go to greater lengths to avoid pain than they will to satisfy a desire. The statement could change your life or your business. Think about it in the context of your daily activi-ties and you’ll see the power. Most actions are ignited in an effort to avoid pain than to find pleasure.

I live with three women and can attest firmly people tend to rally around pains. Talking about pains and problems represent an estimated 65 percent of our conversations and it is a primary driver of actions. We all spend time working on resolving issues, pains and problems. It takes a lot of energy, effort and discussion. Do you have a goal? How much time do you spend working on achieving it? Usually our efforts focus on the pain, not the payout.

How will knowing this help you? Well, it’s easy. You deal with people right? You have re-lationships with others and those people - your family, your friends and your customers - are all motivated just like you. They are more in-

terested in getting rid of their problems than satisfying their desire, unless the desire is their problem (achieve this or your fired).

Find the pain and you’ll find the path to ac-tivation. Remind them of the pain and they’ll be more likely to believe you have the solution. The biggest pains get solved first. I spent the weekend working because I had a deadline. Milestones are great, but deadlines get the job finished, they are just another form of pain.

Watch your actions; see what actually makes you do the things you do. You’ll begin to see beneath it all you are more motivated by what bad might come from the situation. Knowing this simple fact can allow you to better position what you do – at home or work – as a solution to someone else’s problems. It’s more effective than selling features and benefits.

Deadlines get it started

» Rich hit the hardest? – Dur-ing the past three recessions, the top 1 percent of earners (those making $380,000 or more in 2008) experienced the largest income shocks in per-centage terms of any income group in the U.S., according to economists at Northwestern University. When the economy grows, their incomes grow up to three times faster than the rest of the country’s. When the economy falls, their incomes fall two or three times as much. The super-high earners have the biggest crashes. The number of Americans making $1 million or more fell 40 percent between 2007 and 2009. Their combined incomes fell by nearly 50 percent—far greater than the less than 2 percent drop in total incomes of those mak-ing $50,000 or less, according to the IRS.

» Easy efficiency boost – Remove light bulbs in your house and dust them gently. A dusty light bulb may be as much as 40 per-cent less efficient than a clean one.

» ‘Occupy’ banned in China – According to UC Berkeley publication China Digital Times, Sina Weibo, China’s hyper-popular microblog-ging site, has banned all search keywords that could theoretically be associated with Occupy Wall Street. A long list of banned keywords on Sina Weibo’s search function has been

uncovered and tested by the CDT team. All the listed phrases stick to one simple rule: a combination of “occupy” and a place name. In other words, the hundreds of millions of Sina Weibo users are no longer allowed to search for “occupy Beijing,” for instance.

» The difference in scores – Most of the credit scores you buy or get free online are not the exact ones used by lend-ers. Equifax’s credit score is called Score Power. This uses the FICO scoring mode (the gold standard), but you may get a different score than one pulled by a lender because the information in your credit file is constantly changing. Experian calls its credit score product “PLUS Score” and is based on factors similar to but not the same as FICO. The PLUS Score ranges from 330 to 830. TransUnion’s credit score product also is not a FICO score but based on the bureau’s own proprietary scoring model.

» Companies keeping older employees? – In a recent AARP survey of 1,000 human resources directors, 69 percent said that their companies are looking to keep older workers as part-time workers and consultants and 46 percent are trying to entice older workers to stay as full-time employees. In 1985, 10.8 percent of people over 65 worked full-time or part-time. By 2011, that figure rose to over 18 percent, according to the AARP Public Policy Institute.

Duke Energy Corporation (DUK) - DUK is a defensive stock that helps to provide stability to the value investors’ portfolio at one end and payments on the other through dividends. The recent news of the settlement with N.C. public staff regarding the merger of DUK with its rival Progress Energy Inc (PGN) is expected to bring a positive effect on the stock prices. DUK an-nounced to merge with PGN earlier this year with a total cost of $13.70 billion which will turn DUK into the largest electric utility enterprise in United States with a presence in six states.

AT&T Inc. (T) - The company intends to pur-chase T-Mobile USA from Deutsche (DTEGY.PK) at a cost of $39 billion which will help it to become ahead of its competitor Verizon Com-munications Inc. (VZ).

Nokia Corporation (NOK) - The company came into lime light earlier this year when NOK decided to exchange its Symbian operat-ing system with more user-friendly Windows 7 phone software. However, the launch of these new smart phones is still awaited.NOK also is planning to target the low-end market in the emerging economies as the company has lost market share in the smart phones segment. The company is looking sound in the coming future but the management will have to make sure the launch of the new smart phones before it starts troubling the stock prices. The recent settlement of the lawsuit related to the launch of smart phones with Apple Inc and new strategy of tar-geting emerging markets will likely to have posi-tive results for the company in the future.

lOCal real estateBy Jim litten

The housing market continues to stabilize across Central Indiana. In September, home sales climbed more than 5 percent, inventory tightened by 13.6 percent, and year-to-date sales prices of homes inched up 1.8 percent to an average of $152,554, according to F.C. Tucker’s most recent housing report.

Compared to the nine-county Central Indi-ana region that F.C. Tucker tracks, Hamilton County homes sold for an average of $244,799, which is nearly level to the average year-to-date sales price in September 2010. Homes in Westfield, in particular, sold for an average of $269,666 in September – a 9.6 percent increase over the same time last year. A total of 31 homes sold last month, compared to 41 in September 2010. Twenty-four homes sold for $299,999 or less; five sold in the $300,000 to $499,999 range; and two sold at $500,000 and above.

Neighboring communities of Carmel and Fishers experienced a nice surge in sales, with 97 homes sold in Carmel and 31 in Fishers. Home

prices in Carmel and Fishers, however, were down 7.3 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively, while Noblesville’s home prices were up 0.2 percent compared to the same period in 2010. Noblesville sold just 19 fewer homes last month compared to September 2010.

As the leaves turn and weather grows colder, the housing market naturally winds down. It’s a perfect time to attend to home maintenance. Make sure your heating system runs properly and consider an inspection by a qualified heat-ing contractor. Check for roof damage and loose or missing shingles, repairs of which could put off a larger, more costly roof replacement in the future. A little extra attention now in these areas will hopefully head off any potential inspection issues when it comes time to sell your home.

sPIrItUalIty By Bob walters

We look at God and ask “Why?” We struggle with faith and ask “How?”The Bible says a lot about why (For God so

loved the world …) but not much about how. God could, so he did. But, how did He do it? Why does it matter? Why did He bother?

Conversely, church is full of “how” but not much “why.” Pray, read the Bible, be baptized, go to communion and serve. Repeat. That’s how. Amen. God said so.

But why? There’s only one Father-Son-Holy Spirit. Why so many doctrines? John 14:6 plain-ly quotes Jesus Christ: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

But how? “Tell me why, Lord,” we beg. “I’ll believe, tell me how I’ll know.”

We’re desperate for faith and plead for an-swers, but we overlook the obvious. The Bible gives us a clear picture of who God is and what God does.

God is a God of action and creativity; a God of life and courage. He is a God of account-

ability and generosity, of judgment and peace of mercy and grace.

God is with us, about us, for us and in us. He created us. Jesus Christ is the author of all knowledge.” The Holy Spirit is God’s light in

our reverent lives and comfort in our human challenges. God is eternal and unrelenting, he pur-sues us.

What do we do? We get stuck at “why” and “how.” Instead of wor-shipping a great God,we worship the diminished idols of why and how in knowledge. We focus on us.

When we demand finite answers to God-sized questions, we limit faith. We limit truth and lose focus on everything-ness of God.

Love God, and love others … and limitations go away.

Why and how: The limits of love

Not that anyone besides Bob Walters ([email protected]) is counting, but this marks five years – 260 straight weeks dating back to November 7, 2006 – of filing this Christian column for Current newspapers. Thanks to all. A book is on the way.

God is a God of action and creativity; a God of life and courage. He is a

God of accountability and generosity, of judgment and peace of mercy and grace.

Sneaking in the snacksCOmmentaryBy dick wolfsie

On the Wolfsie refrigerator, next to a photo of me hugging Goofy at Disney World (I was a mere 57 years old at the time) is Mary Ellen’s list of items to be purchased on her next trip to the supermarket.

Mary Ellen’s list is a model for all Americans who want to eat healthy. There’s skim milk, low-fat cottage cheese, and skinless chicken breasts. Here’s the question: If that’s pretty much what the list always looks like, how did all that other crapola we eat end up in our kitchen? Who smuggled in the chips? I am the culprit, of course, and that is why I avoid food shopping with my wife. When we do go together, I’m on a very short leash and the chances of getting any treats are zero, even if I beg. I wish my wife would treat me even more like a dog. I deserve it.

We used to go the store together all the time. She thought it was important for our relation-ship to walk down the aisle making food choices as a couple. She was confusing its significance with the aisle we walked down 30 plus years ago. But there’s a huge difference: After I said “I do” in l980, Mary Ellen didn’t say, “I don’t think this is good for you,” or “Are you sure this is what you really want?” and when we kissed during the service, she definitely didn’t say: “You still have plenty of this back home.”

I’m second-guessed about everything I put in the shopping cart. Here are some of Mary El-

len’s favorite expressions:No one still living eats white bread.Yes, we do need baked beans, if you don’t

count the 24 cans on top of the pool table.Why are you buying low-fat trail mix bars?

You know you’re not going to eat them.Why are you buying cheese puffs? You know

you’re just going to eat them.Mary Ellen has junk-food radar and more often

than not, she’ll locate my hidden cache with just a glance. I do try to sneak things into the basket, but it’s tough to hide a large Tombstone pizza under a can of peaches. Having to put an item back on the shelf is the most humiliating thing that can happen to a guy—at least in public.

Recently, I ran into a friend at the grocery. “Hey, Dick, doing a little reverse shopping, are you? You must be here with the wife.”

To avoid future embarrassment, I told Mary Ellen that this week I was going to go to the store alone. She said that was fine, and Saturday morning she handed me a sheet of paper.

“Thank you, Mary Ellen, but I don’t need a shopping list.”

“Oh, it’s not a shopping list. It’s a permission slip.”

Goober TV steals air wavesCOmmentaryBy mike redmond

Things I am tired of, in no particular order:Kardashians. All of them (and there seems to

be a limitless supply). I see no reason for these people to be so much of a blip in the American con-sciousness. You can’t turn on your computer, TV or look at the magazine rack at the grocery store without a Kardashian looking back at you. This might be understandable if they were a family of scientists curing cancer, but I haven’t seen them doing anything, except be a Kardashian.

Goober TV. Also known as “watching semi-toothless people cackle with delight when city folks try to catch fish bare-handed.” Before TV abandoned any notion of decency, these people would have been presented on the evening news as somebody Charles Kuralt bumped into when he took a wrong turn on his way to the Kansas City Mustard Festival. Now they have fan clubs.

But lest you think I am picking on the semi-toothless cackler community. I also count any reality shows involving junk, storage lockers, tattoos, pawnshops, brides, fashion victims or housewives as goober TV.

What’s that you say? Not all of the people on

those shows are goobers? You’re right. The goo-bers are the ones who watch.

Motor scooters. Yeah, they’re trendy. Yeah, they seem to be operated by people who aren’t as smart as a sack of hammers. The other day I

saw a kid riding down a four-lane thoroughfare on one while talking on a cell phone who ran a red light. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to do that for one of those clowns.

Talent shows. I prob-ably should have included this with the goober thing. Once when I was trapped inside on a rainy day at Grandma’s, a woman on Ted Mack’s Original Amateur Hour played “Yankee Doo-dle” on her dentures. After that experience, I try to put talent shows out of your mind forever.

Facebook Complainers. I’ve overheard peo-ple complaining about changes to Facebook. To which I say: How much did you pay for it?

That’s it for now, except, one of the things I’m really tired of is being tired of things.
