Hamilton County’s 4-H enrollment con-tinues to increase and officials are hopeful to meet a milestone before the summer. Hamilton County 4-H Youth Development Extension Educator Kathleen Bohde said the county is just nine members away from 2,000 members.

“This is the start of the 4-H season for 2012, and the enrollment period has been very strong,” she said. “We hope to hit that goal this year.”

While enrollment numbers across the state are still being figured, Bohde said Hamilton County has one of the larger programs and esti-mates it as the third or fourth largest in Indiana.

Hamilton County officials are particularly pleased to see enrollment numbers continue to steadily increase, especially this year, when the enrollment fees increased from $10 to $25 –

with a maximum family amount of $75. Bohde said the Hamilton County 4-H Council offered funds to provide scholarships for families with financial hardships.

“We were concerned about 4-H numbers decreasing,” she said. “Costs did not deter from participation in the program. It’s a hands-on learning opportunity the whole family can be a part of.”

Starting this year, the state 4-H program implemented an annual $15 state 4-H program fee that will be collected from all 4-H members. All of these funds will be used for the Indiana 4-H program. The other $10 is the county en-rollment fee, which is used to support the Ham-ilton County 4-H program.

“The statewide fee for funding helps support the 4-H program as revenues and budgets have been tightened,” Bohde said.

March 1 was the enrollment deadline for re-enrolling youth, but members can still sign up. However, the highest placing they can receive for projects at the county 4-H fair is a blue rib-bon, and they are not eligible to advance to the state fair. Bohde said brand new youth have until June 1 to enroll.

“We’re still accepting 4-Hers’ enrollment in the office or online,” she said.

4-H is an informal educational program in which youth in grades three through 12 “Learn by Doing.” Mini 4-H is available for students in first and second grade. There is no fee for Mini 4-Hers.

For more information and an enrollment card, stop by the Purdue Extension Hamilton County office on the 4-H Grounds, 2003 Pleas-ant St., Noblesville, or call 776-0854.

Senior Hannah Miller was announced as Hamilton Southeastern High School’s first All-American girls soccer play-er. After a successful season on the varsity soccer team, the soccer captain won not only NSCAA All-Regional and All-State, but took her team to the state finals and secured All-American.

“I worked really hard this season, as did all of my teammates, because we had a goal to go to the state finals this year,” Miller said.

Miller is one of only 70 All-Americans in the na-tion, and just one of two from Indiana to win the award this year. Voted on as part of the All-American team by coaches across the state, Miller received the second most votes in the state.

Serving not only as captain, but also as the highest scorer for the team, Miller scored 54 points throughout her career with an average of

1.26 in each game. Because of this, and her five goals out of seven post-season games at HSE, Miller is also being considered for ESPN’s Player of the Year award. She was also a major player in 29 of the Royals’ 96 goals.

In addition to her time as the varsity captain, Miller has played for the Fishers’ soccer club, FC Pride. She played for eight years on the club, all on the 94 Elite Team. Miller served as a captain and led the team to the Indiana State Cup

finals.Miller has signed her letter of intent to attend

Eastern Illinois University in the fall where she plans to play soccer.

The Heart & Soul free clinic will host its second High Tea and Fashion Show fund-raiser Saturday.

Founded by Sandy Kirsch in 2009, the Heart & Soul clinic offers free, basic health care to any Hamilton County resident that walks in its doors. The clinic is located at 202 Penn St., Westfield, and is open from 9 a.m. to noon on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month.

“All the (fundraiser) proceeds go to the clinic,” said Kirsch. “It will help us to be able to treat the patients in Hamilton County more ef-ficiently. We’ll be able to have more equipment and better services with the donations from the

tea and fashion show. It’s a very important event for us.”

The Heart & Soul clinic is staffed by nurses and doctors who volunteer their time. Kirsch said the clinic is always seeking more medical professionals who would like to con-tribute, and is hoping to be able to add dental services to its offerings this year.

The High Tea and Fashion Show fundraiser will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at East Street Studios, 18880 N. East St., Westfield. Tickets are $30 per person, or $180 for a table of six, and can be purchased by contacting Kirsch at 374-5804. More information is available online at www.heartandsoulclinic.org, or by searching for Heart & Soul Clinic on Facebook.

Every year on the Saturday before the Indianapolis 500 weekend, a group of vol-unteers come together for the Christmas in Action organization to fix houses around the Indianapolis area for elderly and low-income homeowners.

“There are a lot of people who are hurting out there, and a lot of them are somewhat reluctant to come forward and get help,” said Karl Lundberg, Christmas in Action president. “There are a lot (of people) who have fallen through the cracks.”

Matt Dowdy, a recently-appointed board member, became involved with the program last year when Lundberg spoke about the need for volunteers at his church. As the owner of a construction company, he saw it as his oppor-tunity to use his talents to help others.

“Just seeing everybody come together and have the same goal and the same purpose was really rewarding. You hear so much negativity in the news, but you had 35, 40 strangers, where

none of us knew each other before that day, and we stuck together and focused; we were able to accomplish something,” Dowdy said.

Christmas in Action performs repairs rang-ing from the installation of handrails to the replacement of kitchen floors. Last year, 120 Christmas in Action volunteers managed to fix 14 houses in a single day, an increase from five homes repaired in 2010.

Christmas in Action will take place on May 19 this year, and they (volunteers) hope to fix at least 12 houses for homeowners in the area. The organization is looking for volunteers, donations and applications for repairs. It is un-necessary to have experience in the construc-tion industry in order to volunteer.

“The best part about this is knowing you’ve made a difference in somebody’s life that’s go-ing to last a long, long time,” Lundberg said.

Anyone wanting to volunteer time or con-tribute as a sponsor can send an e-mail to [email protected], or call 721-1242. For more information, visit christmasinactionindy.wordpress.com.

Grammar by brandie bohney

My husband is a math guy. His grammar has improved in the nearly two decades we’ve been together, but ultimately, he’s brilliant with num-bers. So when his co-workers ask him grammar questions, he happily suggests their questions for columns. That’s how this column came about: “How do you use so? I really like the word, and I use it a lot, so I need to know what I’m doing.”

The word so functions in a variety of ways. Unlike most of the other coordinating conjunc-tions, so has several definitions that make using it correctly somewhat complicated. Normally, a coordinating conjunction takes a comma when connecting two independent clauses (clauses that can stand alone as complete sentences):

• Martyatebeans,sohegotgas.So works in this case when it means, “there-

fore,” or “consequently.” When used to mean, “in order that,” so often does not require a comma because it turns the second clause into a subordinate (dependent) clause:

• Jamestooksomemedicinesohewouldn’tgetgas.In case you’re thinking this is a bit too com-

plicated to remember, you’re in luck: There’s a trick. In the second case, when so means, “in order that,” it is often followed by that. If you can follow your so with that, you don’t need the comma because instead of functioning as a coor-dinating conjunction, in this case, sois a subor-

dinating conjunction. Is your head spinning?That’s not the only exception to so, though.

Other coordinating conjunctions are rarely, if ever, followed by a comma. The reason for this is simple: Conjunctions connect, and commas divide. Commas often come before the con-junctions, but they rarely follow them. This rule is especially true at the beginning of sentences, where people are prone to beginning with andor but(something that should be done only very sparingly and with purpose) and then following those conjunctions with a comma. Those people are almost always wrong.

Strangely, though, the rules change a bit with so.Unlike andand but, so is often used in in-

formal speech as both verbal filler and as a way to start a new line of conversation. In this second instance – and please note it should be reserved for very informal, conversational writ-ing and speaking – the so should be followed by a comma:

• So,hasMartytriedBeanoyet?There are a number of other so rules, but

they’re not as widespread in misuse as the ones listed. I guess they’re only so-so.

No so-so use of so

COMMUNITY Cover Story

The Town of Fishers is taking advantage of an early start to construction season to begin major traffic overhaulsHOw A MEDiAn u-turn wOrkS: Whether you’re calling it a Michigan Left, a median U-turn or a Fishers U-Turn, the intersection improvement now under construction at 96th Street and Allisonville Road will be something most Hoosier drivers haven’t come across before. Unlike a traditional signalized intersection, drivers going through a median U-turn will not be able to make a left turn at the intersection, but instead, must turn right, then make a U-turn at a median crossover. Median U-Turns have been a popular intersection choice in Michigan since the 1960s, thus the “Michigan Left” nickname. Ac-cording to the Michigan Dept. of Transportation, during the years median U-turns have shown reductions in delays for left-turning vehicles and through traffic, and can provide anywhere from 20-50 percent greater vehicle capacity than direct left turns.

The Town of Fishers Tuesday announced its Drive Fishers initiative: A plan to invest $20 million in improvements to street intersections and high-traffic areas.

The plan includes a previously announced $2 million project to install real-time traffic signals at more than 30 intersections in town, the widening of 126th Street from a two- to four-lane divided highway, construction of an intersection at Ind. 37 and 135th Street and improvements to Geist along Fall Creek Road and at its intersection with Brooks School Road.

The largest part of the plan – construction of a median U-turn at the intersection of 96th Street and Allisonville Road, estimated to cost $8.6 million – kicked off April 1. Traffic will still be able to use the intersection during construction, slated to continue through November, though motorists should expect lane closures and delays, said Fishers Town Council Member Stuart Easley.

“It will be a full-press assault,” Easley said. “From citizens’ view, they’re going to see construction in that hole from now until Novem-ber. But the objective on 96th (Street) and Al-lisonville (Road) is to keep it under traffic. We’re

not shutting down the intersection and trying to push people to a totally different route.”

An estimated $7.7 million of the total $8.6 million for the project is to be funded by tax increment funding bonds from the River Place develop-ment at the northwest corner of the intersection.

“That’s kind of our mantra: Growth funding itself,” Easley said.

Information about all of the projects encompassed in Drive Fishers, along with an interactive simulation of how the completed median U-turn will function, can be found online through the Drive Fishers portal of the

town’s Web site: www.fishers.in.us. The site in-cludes a link to a Flickr account, which will be updated with photos as construction proceeds.

“It’s always been the philosophy of the Fish-ers Town Council to improve the quality of life of its citizens in an efficient, cost-effective way,” Easley said. “Transportation and ingress and egress to the town during peak rush hour times is an integral part to the citizens’ quality of life. My mantra is: This is not about cars and traffic; it’s about people and improving the quality of people’s lives. People have to move around, but we want to minimize the pain and give them more time to do the things they want to do.”

VIEWS Editorial

It is our position freedom of speech is not only a right, but a privilege. The general public has access to the widest array and farthest-reaching communications tools the world has ever known. It seems lately the First Amendment is getting quite a work-out. Recent events such as a Marine being discharged for using his Facebook page to de-face the President, a high school student being suspended for tweeting profanities allegedly with school property and Arizona recently passing a law making “annoying” and “offensive” online speech illegal, has made many wonder if our right to free speech is in jeopardy.

Are these events truly examples of the chilling effects of expressing one’s opinion via social media, or are they a chillingly re-alistic window to behavior in a modern day society? James Madison authored the First Amendment with the intent of granting power through liberty, a privilege thought to be a necessity for the safety and happiness of the people. John Milton argued an indi-vidual is capable of using reason and distin-guishing right from wrong, good from bad.

If they had a crystal ball, would our fore-fathers have written amendments for lin-guistics and manners into the Bill of Rights? Brian Kelly, publisher, and

As the U.S. 31 Freeway Project now is un-der way with quite a fervor, we urge motorists from Boone and Hamilton counties to exercise extreme patience – if not a little ingenuity – in dealing what many already are calling “the three-year mess.” The finished product, we be-lieve, will be worth the wait and certain hassles. Further, it isn’t a mess; it’s progress taking shape. We have opined in this space before on the posi-tive aspects this project will deliver. To get to the good, we must find a way to sanely endure the “ugly,” and that means finding ways around snarled traffic, keeping your cool and allow-ing plenty of extra time during peak commute hours. A customary 10-minute drive last week took us more than 25 minutes. Patience! It will be worth it in the end. “Coping skills” may be found at us31hamiltoncounty.in.gov. Current will provide updates in the paper, on its Web site and on Facebook and Twitter. We pledge to help you all we can.

Carmel Marathon, of which Current is a spon-sor. Participants, including those from here, Indiana, most of the nation and nations abroad, are bringing not only their talents and determi-nation, but also their wallets. Hotel rooms have been booked for months, and the local econo-mies should enjoy a bump-up on the bottom line. That’s the good news. The “other” news is the event will cause traffic disruptions for a short while, so anyone in, or passing through Carmel is urged patience while the races play out.

Commentary by terry Anker

With the advent of digital cameras, the world of memory preserving has changed im-mensely. Time was that we all made judicious use of the expensive and often temperamental film employed to record our important vistas and milestones. Now, we can shoot thousands of shots. Virtually unrestricted by incremental cost, once we invest in the camera, the photos are free. My computer and telephone are filled with scores of images; and, my screensaver takes me on a halcyon journey with the pro-gression of each photo from my collection. Yet in spite of all the advantages, I miss the tactile nature of developed prints. Even while most general retailers can produce the pictures for pennies each, we routinely fail to have them made. Add it to the list of good intentions – we plan to print and share, but are daunted by the effort required to review 100 pictures to find just the right one.

Is it a basic tenant of human nature to col-

lect – even hoard – all manner and sort of object or experience, and yet never commit the time to fully enjoy them? Perhaps it is simply the urge to accumulate that stimulates us. Whatever the root our desire to build a personal stash of our favorite things can, in itself, become an addiction. But even if we manage to control the urge to overstuff our homes and our lives, we still have to find time to enjoy those things we have collected. As a boy, I was amazed by people who had all the toys and times I thought I needed in my life. Yet, they would let them sit unused and un-enjoyed. Like many things with the passage of time, I have come to realize it is more compli-cated than once thought.

Laughs by Danielle wilson

When my Louisville Cardinals made it to the Final Four in New Orleans, I joked with my husband about going down for the game. The following evening, after Kentucky earned its own ticket, the joke turned into something real. University of Louisville versus University of Kentucky? With the winner going to the na-tional championship? That’s a no brainer. So I e-mailed my dad and sister, both Louisville alums, and discovered I could have a hotel room floor and a driving partner if I wanted. I WANTED. I quickly called Doo, in Alabama on business, to inform him of my plans. He whined at being excluded (even though he’s an Indiana Univer-sity fan) and spread the guilt on thick enough to smother any simple plan of getting to the game.

Luckily, I am the Queen of Logistics Mir-acles and quickly set to work to devise a way for us both to go. Despite single-parenting, working full time and driving to/attending an inordinate amount of practices and concerts, within three days, I’d located a sitter (a long-lost cousin who happened to have nothing go-ing on that weekend), organized a place to stay (a different cousin’s boyfriend’s parents’ house) and painted “Final Four, Baby!” and “Cardi Gras Bound” all over the minivan. Thursday night found me heading south to collect one

sister from the Mega-Bus stop in downtown Indy, one from the Ville and an engaged couple whom I’d never met but had promised to pay for gas.

The next 38 hours were a whirlwind of emo-tion and activity. When you take the Battle of the Bluegrass to Bourbon Street, things get crazy quickly. My sisters jammed with an old guy for 30 minutes before they realized it was Jimmy Buffett. A Kentucky-clad Doo talked Bobby Knight into taking a photo with him. And, I fell victim to hormones and fatigue resulting in an all-out brawl with Doo in the valet lot of the Cardinals' hotel that ended with me crying myself to sleep and Doo drinking all night with our Katrina-survivor host. I also had a hurricane shutter fall on me, met an Irish-mafia vampire and almost missed tip-off awaiting the arrival of my ticket-toting inebriated sister who’d lost track of time in the French Quarter.

Louisville lost, and the 14-hour drive home was so not fun. (Damn you, construction!) But I crossed off a bucket list item, and for me, that made the madness worth it. Peace out.

Outsmarting the smartphoneLaughs by Mike redmond

I just got a new smartphone. It does every-thing – manages my e-mail, keeps my calendar, gives me driving directions, downloads books, sends messages, does my taxes, walks the dog and cooks breakfast.

So why am I not deliriously happy? Is it because I’ve been up late the last three

nights trying to figure out how to perform this phone’s simplest tasks, such as finding the but-ton that turns it on?

Is it because it is a touch-screen phone, which kind of gives me the willies because I can’t stand fingerprints on shiny surfaces?

Yes and yes. But there’s more.It appears the phone may be smarter than its

owner. There may be no limit to what it can do, but the same cannot be said of the owner.

Now, lest you get the wrong impression, I am no Luddite, no Flintstone. I embrace the changes brought by modern technology. I love my computer and my cable TV and my cell phone. Well, maybe not so much on that last one.

Part of that is because I am a guy, and guys are easily distracted by shiny things that make noise. This explains cars, stereos and shotguns. But there’s more.

I have doomed myself to a lifetime of frus-tration. The quickening pace of technological

advancement also accelerates the pace of obso-lescence. As soon as you buy the newest, fastest, most powerful thingamajig, an even newer, faster, more powerful one becomes available.

That’s the problem with trying to keep up with technology: You can’t.

You start to ponder this stuff and inevitably, the questions begin: Do I need 1,000 channels of TV? Do I need to be available to the world 24/7? Do I need a computer to do what I used to do with a typewriter or, before that, a pen and paper?

But about this new phone: It really is a mar-vel. Not that long ago, it would have required a Univac machine the size of your living room to do all the stuff that now can be done with a gizmo that fits in your hand.

In time, I’m sure I’ll learn to use my phone properly, to exploit its full technological value. I’m sure it will be wonderful. And I’m just as sure as soon as I do, someone will come up with something faster and more powerful. But that’s a problem for another day.

Right now, I’d just like to know how to get the silly thing to make a phone call.

Laughs by Dick wolfsie

Mary Ellen and I live in a subdivision of homes built around a small lake. It is exactly a one-mile stroll to circle the neighborhood. But what should be a pleasant and invigorat-ing jaunt each evening turns into a humiliating 20 minutes for me. Not for Mary Ellen. That’s because it takes her only 15 minutes to com-plete the trip.

I’ve always been a very slow walker. The day we got married and headed down the aisle, I ended up having to break into a full gallop so we’d reach the minister at the same time.

If Mary Ellen were an understanding wife – and not simply an Olympic fast-walking ath-lete – she would have the courtesy to double-back every few minutes and loop around me. This would prevent the entire neighborhood from hearing a senior citizen yelling “Wait up!”

The big reason I was originally attracted to my wife was her long, slender gams. But this is how short-sighted and impulsive men can be. I wish someone had said to me, “Sure, she has gorgeous legs, but 30 years from now, you’ll be a quarter mile behind her by the time you get out of your cul-de-sac.” I’m so unhurried in my pace even my 11-year-old arthritic, overweight dog has to turn around every 20

seconds to see where I am when we walk in the woods. I’m a little tired of that “Are you coming, or not?” look on his face. But at least Toby is checking to make sure I haven’t had a coronary. I wish Mary Ellen would be as concerned.

Sometimes, just to feel loved and wanted, I’ll hide behind a tree to see if Mary Ellen will notice I’m no longer anywhere in sight. But in a residential area, men hiding behind trees are frowned upon. I tried to explain this once to the police officer who was summoned by the neighborhood crime watch. You know you’re in trouble when the officer keeps writing down the word “lurking.”

Because of the beautiful spring weather, the indignity has begun earlier than usual this year. Mary Ellen is in her fitness mode and she refuses to slow down her gait to accommodate me. She suggested we head in opposite direc-tions around the circle, claiming no matter what pace I walk, we will still pass each other at exactly the same time. Huh? Someone needs to explain that to me. I’m a little slow.

Walk in my shoes!

Commentary by Dr. Melanie kingsley

As we head outdoors to enjoy the warm spring weather, now is the perfect time to review the best ways to protect your skin from sun damage.

It’s important to wear a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or more when exposed to the sun for an extended period. Sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide provide the best protection and should be applied to your entire body before going outside. It’s best to reapply sunscreen every two hours or sooner if you begin developing sunburn, and remember: Do everything you can to prevent your skin from burning. Sunburn causes DNA damage to skin cells, which can lead to skin cancer, as well as wrinkles and other damaging effects. In ad-dition to good sunscreen, there are hats, beach-wear and protective clothing that have ultravio-let protection; look for “ultraviolet protection factor” on the label.

Even if you are only exposed to the sun for a limited time, you should use a daily sunscreen. We are exposed to harmful UV rays while driv-ing a car, sitting by a window or walking from the car to our destination. Routine exposure to harmful UV rays can lead to skin cancer and photoaging (wrinkles and brown spots). This is especially true for tanning beds. With proms and other seasonal special events right around the corner, teenagers and others are strongly discouraged from using tanning beds, which

have been proven to cause skin cancer.If you are already showing signs of photoag-

ing, using a daily sunscreen, as well as topical antiaging products that include retinoids and vitamin C, will help prevent and reverse signs of sun damage. Laser treatments may also be con-sidered to help reduce fine lines and brown spots. The Fraxel Dual laser was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment and prevention of precancerous lesions called actinic keratosis. This laser also helps treat brown spots and fine lines. A dermatologist can discuss such treatment options with you.

Enjoy this wonderful weather and please make sure to protect your skin!

Commentary by Dr. barry Eppley

Q: i have tired and sad-looking eyes. the out-er part of my eyes has always been turned down since i was young and i have never liked it. Can excess skin be removed and remaining skin lifted up and under the eye? Can the outer corners of the eyes be lifted for “sad eyes” at the same time?

A: Traditional lower blepharoplasty or eyelid tuck techniques can remove fat that causes bags, and tightens loose skin under the eyes. The posi-tion of the corner of the eye is controlled by a tendon that attaches it to the inside of the bony

socket of the eye. This tendinous position can be changed to raise the corner of the eye, known as a canthopexy procedure, making it either level to the inside of the eye or higher if one desires more of an almond-shape to the eye. This can be done at the same time as a lower blepharoplasty (or an upper blepharoplasty) through the same incision.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: PROPERTY DIVISION

In Indiana, courts divide a divorcing parties’ property in a manner which is deemed to be fair and reasonable. Indiana law follows the “one-pot” theory for the division of marital property, which presumes all marital property is put into one pot and that a �fty-�fty (50/50) division of all marital assets and liabilities is presumed to be fair and reasonable. However, there are various factors Courts consider in determining whether or not a deviation from the equal division is warranted, including: the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of property; the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time of the disposition of the property; the conduct of the parties during the marriage as related to disposition or dissipation of their property; and the earning ability of the parties. Thus, while an equal division is presumed, one party can request more than �fty percent of the marital estate.

What is Marital Property? It is important for parties to understand what is considered marital property as many people believe certain assets or accounts remain separate from the estate. This is often incorrect. Absent a prenuptial agreement, excluding certain property from becoming part of the marital estate, Indiana law presumes that all assets and debt brought into or acquired during the marriage is marital property and is subject to division by the Court. That being said, one may argue that certain property or liabilities should be allotted to one party in the division of the estate. An example of a liability remaining with one party would be a student loan.

Such a determination is very contextual and seeking legal advice is recommended to determine if such a request is supported by the facts of a given case. Each case is unique and the decision to exclude property is left to the discretion of the Court. Naturally, there are certain issues which arise more often than others and therefore, more Court decisions regarding the treatment of such property in dividing the estate. This gives parties guidance on what may be expected after a hearing on the given issue. Further, it is important to note that any property which is acquired after the date of the �ling of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage may be considered property which is separate from the marital estate.

The division of each marital estate requires the work of the parties and counsel to reach an agreement which works best for the family. Parties are well advised to seek the advice from �nancial planners to determine a division which will have the fewest tax consequences or negative implications on the estate.

DOUGH Business

Commentary by CJ McClanahan

You’ve just completed another 65-hour week and had the realization something’s got to change. No amount of money is worth all this stress, exhaustion and time away from family.

It’s time to bring on some additional help. However, unless you understand how to lead, you may have just signed up for more work and frustration.

Keep in mind leading an individual is com-pletely different than managing employees. Anybody can send out an e-mail with a list of tasks and follow up to make certain they were complete. Anyone can manage – few people know how to lead.

First, a great leader starts by understanding the “why.” Understanding the “why” simply means you need to take time to figure out what your employees hope to get out of their ca-reers. In other words, you need to know what a perfect career looks like for each of your direct reports. How much would they (employees) like to make? What would their title be? What skills would they be developing?

Before you start, it’s important to note I have asked thousands of employees these ques-tions and almost no one has any idea what they want their career to look like in the future. You’ll need to help them stretch their horizons a little bit and get them dreaming. Next, be prepared for some of your staff to have a vi-

sion for their careers that doesn’t include you and your company. That’s perfectly normal. They were going to leave anyway – everybody does. Why not get the most out of them while they’re here?

Second, once you know where your employ-ees want to go, it’s important you set some clear expectations to help them get there. Most lead-ers think an annual review and sporadic staff meetings qualify as setting clear expectations. Not true. Employees are like teenagers: They do a lot of head bobbing (up and down) to our instructions, but rarely give us their full atten-tion. As a result, you need to set and reset ex-pectations all the time. I recommend you start weekly at a minimum.

When your staff doesn’t meet expectations, you have to hold them accountable. Because holding people accountable is often uncomfort-able, many leaders permit the failure to meet expectations convincing themselves “They probably won’t make this mistake again.” Don’t let that be you. Avoiding these conversations doesn’t fix the problem; it just makes it worse.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Commentary by Don knebel

The Great Pyramid of Giza remains the most massive structure ever built. Its base covers 13 acres and it was the tallest thing made by man for almost 4,000 years, when it was eclipsed by the spire of Lincoln Cathedral.

By any standard, the Great Pyramid is ex-traordinary. And yet, so monumental and almost otherworldly does the Great Pyramid loom in the common imagination that many visitors to Giza come away vaguely disap-pointed. It is a little like standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon and not being amazed that it could have been created by flowing water because, after all, there it is. But there are le-gitimate surprises for people who visit the Giza plateau to see the Great Pyramid and the smaller ones nearby.

For example, photographs of strategically-placed visitors approaching the Giza pyramids on camels help maintain the illusion the pyra-mids are far out in the desert. They are not. Giza is right next door to Cairo, a sprawling city of 17 million people.

Another common misconception, fostered by late-night movies, is the pyramids were built by thousands of slaves led by bare-chested Egyp-tians wielding whips. The pyramids were almost certainly built by paid workers, perhaps includ-ing farmers during the off season.

People visiting Egypt are surprised to learn the art of building pyramids was at its pinnacle near the beginning and went downhill from there. The largest and most complex of the true pyramids, the Great Pyramid of Khufu complet-ed in about 2560 B.C., was also one of the first. The 100 or so pyramids of subsequent pharaohs were less impressive. The pyramid of King Teti, who died in about 2300 B.C., is little more than

a pile of rubble. As witnessed many times in history, contin-

ued progress of civilization is never guaranteed.

LIFESTYLE Spirituality

Commentary by Mike Colaw

We all ride the same roller coaster.In counseling a number of years ago, I had a

young lady who was working through past abuse. Her father had neglected her and the devastating scars ran really deep. My heart went out to her! In the healing process, she finally built up the courage to have a conversation with one of her siblings. As she poured out her heart, she was surprised to discover her sibling didn’t feel the same way! They both agreed their dad wasn’t very loving, but one didn’t see it as abusive at all.

They both rode this same parental roller coaster growing up. How could they see things so differently?

The longer I live, the more I see this. People can see life from completely different perspec-tives and fully believe their experience is cor-rect. So whose perspective is right? Was dad abusive or not?

We now live in a world where truth is relative to our experiences. I was even taught in psychol-ogy that what people think is true to them is, well, true. Thus, we need to counsel as though they were really abused, neglected or mistreated in a job.

The further I get into this, the more I realize this doesn’t always work. I accidently enabled some people to live perpetual lives as the self-

perceived victim. I have learned in the years of doing this that people sometimes need to be fired, and parents aren’t perfect. Sometimes perspectives are wrong and need to be cor-rected for the benefit of all involved. If truth is truly relative to any perspective, there isn’t any truth. Truth by nature must be exclusive. There are times someone has to be wrong. This is es-sential in many aspects of life.

John 8:31-32 says this: “So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, ‘If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’”

When reflecting on this verse, most people focus on the phrase “the truth will set you free.” Though this is important, the key here is believ-ing in him (Christ) and the phrase “abide in my word.” To move to something deeper than finite flawed perspectives, you must believe in some-thing that transcends them. Jesus made it really clear – we need a common reference point from which we should view life. Anyone looking for stability must wrestle through this.

LIFESTYLE Et ceteraDesign by vicky Earley

Think back to your first do-it-yourself deco-rating project. Do you recall the practical expe-rience you gained from your successes and your mistakes? Now, picture what it would be like if you had completed thousands of such projects during a span of many years, totally immersed in design for 50 to 60 hours per week.

That is the wisdom a professional would bring to your project.

I would say the primary reason clients call a professional is to avoid costly mistakes. There are so many details involved in a successful proj-ect; it is easy to miss the small stuff that makes a huge difference.

I recently hung up the phone from a conver-sation with a young lady who purchased family room furniture based on nothing other than a selection at a furniture store during a weekend sale. It has been delivered, and the scale is all wrong – a detail she never considered while buying her “deal” furniture. The room looks all out of proportion, the furniture is nonreturn-able and she is sick.

Although mistakes like this can sometimes be mitigated, a call at this point in time is usu-ally too late to bring the project to the point of fabulous. Her 40-percent-off purchase just set her decorating budget back thousands.

There is a huge misconception floating

around that using an interior designer will add cost to a project. This homeowner’s one experi-ence dispels that!

A good designer should always be willing to work within the client’s budget and ultimately be able to provide a much more impressive result for the money through a combination of savvy sourcing and skillful design.

The best designers will work with what you already have, or be able to start from scratch. Every project is different.

Unless the designer selected is totally devoid of talent, the benefits will far outweigh the cost. Just the avoidance of the one mistake can be worth the entire consultation fee! Parts of a project that have to be redone due to error are costly. The elimination of sleepless nights due to uncertainty is worth every cent of consultation billing.

Working with a decorator opens up sources generally closed to the public. Also, designers have a resource list of talented labor they can readily tap into, as well as the ability to negoti-ate on behalf of a client.

Do it yourself … with an interior designer

I have had people tell me they have been receiv-ing spam e-mail from me. I have changed the password for my account and the spam is still being sent from my account. Do you have any ideas as far as what might be causing this?

- AndrewThe two most likely possibilities are your e-

mail account has been compromised or you are simply the victim of the age-old “spoofing” tactic that’s been around since the early e-mail days.

If you are able to change your password, that confirms your account hasn’t been taken over, but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t compromised at some point in the past.

When you get locked out of your own ac-count, you’ll know someone is engaging in some nefarious activities with your account.

If you’re hearing from a large number of people about the same spam message, your com-puter might have been compromised at some point, or you could still be infected with a silent malware program.

The first thing to do is change your e-mail password from a completely different computer just in case your computer is infected, or the malware tracking program will know what your new password is as well.

The second thing to do is have your computer scanned by a security program that isn’t already installed on your computer, as it could also be

compromised.If scammers can trick you or anyone that

uses your computer (like children) into clicking on malicious links or inadvertently installing a program that allows them to overtake your computer, your security program will be the first thing they go after.

Another way they can gain access to your e-mail account is if you access your account from another computer that has been compromised, or has a tracking program running silently in the background, which is why it’s never a good idea to access your e-mail from a public terminal.

To properly check your computer, you really need to get “a second opinion” from a complete-ly different program that could not have been compromised in an attack.

Microsoft Safety Scanner can be used as an on-demand scanner if you suspect you are infected.

In our service centers, we take an additional step by booting to a special CD/DVD or flash drive, so any potential malware can’t activate from an infected hard drive.

If the problem is bad enough, you may want to consider getting a new e-mail address and notifying your friends so they can block your old address.

My e-mail account is sending spam!

Commentary by Chris Arney

As many garden centers begin to display to-matoes, peppers, squash and other warm-season vegetable plants, it is still too early to transplant them to the garden. Mother’s Day is the safe date when danger of frost has typically passed. By em-ploying a few “tricks” to jump-start your plants, you can get ahead on the growing season now.

Select vigorous looking plants with a deep green color and sturdy stems. Bigger is not always better. Even selecting plants that come in cell packs (four to six plants) will work, and tend to be less expensive than larger potted plants.

During the next month, you can transform these small seedlings into plants that will be nearly knee-high by planting time. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots; gallon size works the best. Add enough potting soil as not to bury the plants deeper than they are currently. This will allow far more room for the roots to grow and thrive. Thoroughly water in the new plants to settle the soil and force the air out.

Avoid overwatering; letting the soil dry somewhat in between watering will encourage the roots to grow. Fertilizing with a liquid fertil-izer once a week will also encourage new plant growth. While temperatures remain cool, bring the plants inside at night. Find a sunny location to place them in during the day. Fluctuating temperatures, wind and rain will help to “hard-en off” the young plants and will help them to be ready for the garden.

When planting time comes, your plants will be strong, healthy and ready to flourish in your garden. Roots will have grown throughout the entire pot, prepared to feed your plants for the coming season. Following these simple proce-dures will provide healthier vegetable plants that will yield more harvest for you to enjoy.

Commentary by Holly Lindzy

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to figure it out, but I’m not afraid to say so … I’ve decided good gardening happens by accident.

It stinks when you look at other people’s gardens in admiration and think you’d love to have that, but it looks like a chore! Nobody wants to voluntarily create more chores for oneself … think of the lawn alone.

But it won’t hang over your head if don’t put so much pressure on yourself. It doesn’t have to be that picture out of magazine. Let it happen naturally.

Here’s how gardening happens by accident: Verbally admiring a plant at a friend’s house will get you sent home with a piece of it. It’s bad luck to say “Thank you,” so just accept it, with a smile. Ask the name of it, Google it when you get home, keep the weeds away from it and fertilize … you just might get to enjoy something pretty. And have a great story. Pass it on!

Part of my realization comes to me from

watching the formality of garden instruction on TV. Even though they (people on TV) totally speak my language, “cultivar” and “dor-mancy” … they looked so uptight and stuffy talking about it; it would never inspire me to go walk about the garden center carefree. It’s intimidating … ya know?

And the infomercials and garden centers don’t make it any easier. Those people bombard you with gimmicks and make you cram your shed with useless items. My grandma gardened with a spoon and a pair of scissors. I pretty much follow suit with a soil knife and a pair of snips.

It makes me think people take life too seri-ously, even gardening, with their gardening bibles and what not. I learned gardening from my aunt. It was the time of my life. And I’ll pass it on … hoping you do, too.

Landscaping by Larry Greene

Original backyard setting: This home located in the Bayhill neighborhood in Carmel was built in the mid-90s. The existing backyard area was nicely landscaped and also included a simple wood deck. The family always wanted to add a screened porch, but due to the existing windows and the roof profiles, it had never been able to figure out how or where to tie a porch into the existing home.

Design challenges: The project designer presented the homeowner with various options to connect the porch to the home. The homeowner wanted to maintain the windows in the master bathroom on the second floor, and also wanted to avoid placing the porch in front of the family room windows. The creative final solution was to create a new hip roof and move the porch out about 8 feet from the house, and add a connect-ing roof. This allowed the nice open cathedral ceiling the owners wanted while maintaining the natural light from the existing home windows.

Exterior and interior details: The porch was finished with new HardiePanel exterior siding and cedar trim on the knee walls. To add architectural detail, the corner support posts were finished with new decorative stone column bases. Finally, a new pergola was added above the existing deck including 4-by-4 cedar posts and decorative columns with stone bases

to match the porch. The porch includes new fiberglass screens and two new screen doors. The porch ceiling includes a painted beadboard ceiling with cedar-wrapped beams. The porch flooring is cedar decking boards covered with semitransparent oil-based stain.

Final results: The homeowners added new landscaping and stone pathways to complement the new porch. The new porch gives the family a place to sit, relax and enjoy the beauty of the backyard setting.
