You probably don’t know what goes on be-hind the scenes at a trade show. Mostly, you buy your ticket and follow the crowd, listening to the guy selling aluminum siding, the one hawk-ing Ginsu knives and that interesting fellow demonstrating the Magic Chamois Cloth guaranteed to make any car look new.
The event manager arrives around sunrise and immediately calls in the cleanup crew to deal with the overnight flood caused by the leaking water tank at the Aquatic Plant World booth.
The doors open at 10 a.m. and crowd mem-bers surge in waving their free plastic shopping bags. The vendors kick their spiels into high gear, and the guy with the Magic Chamois Cloth begins furiously polishing a deeply-tar-nished car hood.
By noon, everyone is complaining about the heat and the event manager makes an emer-gency call to the air conditioning guy. By 2:30 p.m., vendors are sweating, visitors are fanning themselves with their Magic Chamois Cloths
and the AC guy is muttering obscenities.Meanwhile, the event staff plows ahead selling
tickets and announcing special Weed and Feed demonstrations on the center stage, while one of the security guards – fondly known as the Food and Beverage Policeman – sternly advises visitors
they cannot take their expensive lattes and deli sandwiches inside. Few complain, however, and the beer and hot dogs they find inside make up for their loss.
Around 4 p.m., the AC suddenly whistles into high gear, and within 30 minutes,
frost crystals are forming on the walls. Shivering visitors wrap up in their Magic Chamois Cloths.
The show closes at 9 p.m. and the cleanup crew begins pushing brooms through the aisles. Around midnight, the event manager locks up and leaves. The water tank at the Aquatic Plant World booth starts leaking shortly before 3 a.m.

Eric Charles, a senior second baseman on the Purdue baseball team, leads his club with a .417 batting average through 20 games. The Boilermakers are 16-4 on the season and sit atop the conference standings.
Wabash's Kevin McCarthy, a Zionsville graduate, won the mile run at the NCAA Divi-sion III indoor championships in 4 minutes, 8.93 seconds. It is the first NCAA track title for a Wabash athlete since Tom Puschak won the hammer throw in 1989.
Zionsville Community High School’s
Jackson Tharp has been named one of Hoosier Basketball Magazine's Top 100 Senior Boys for the just-completed 2011-2012 season.
The compilation is the result of observation of numerous games during the past regular season and the state tournament, as well as contact and discussion with coaches, sportswriters and sportscasters throughout Indiana.
Throughout the first semester at Zionsville Community High School, students in the en-trepreneurship class learn the basic principles and essentials of opening up a business. From strenuous mental exercises and virtual busi-ness simulations to the more tedious and less popular textbook work, all are designed for one main purpose: The opening of The Fourth Line.
The Fourth Line is one of the most highly-sought school projects. This completely student-run business offers a “fourth” option to the everyday school lunches. Students elect leaders to act as “president” and “vice presi-dent” to make sure things run smooth-ly. Although most just en-joy the culi-nary aspect of the project, the students in entrepreneurship get to experience the whole thing.
Prior to opening The Fourth Line, a myriad of tasks needed completion. The class came up with a formal business plan that explained every aspect of the business. Furthermore, students had to ask teachers to invest as much or as little as they wanted with a guaranteed 10-percent return on their investment. As some of the teachers at ZCHS said, “It's the safest invest-ment anyone could make.”
This project is extremely effective. The stu-dents conduct real business with real restau-rants. Several issues arose during the project, such as: late deliveries, food shortages and keeping the food at appropriate temperatures. Overall, it is a learning experience that provides the students with a prime opportunity to get hands-on experience in the business world.
The Zionsville Community High School Student Council set a goal to raise $5,000 for Pennies for Patients this year, and fourth period classes collected spare change during a two-week period. The class that collected the most money won a pizza party, and students also sponsored a “Parents’ Night Out” babysit-
ting service, hosted a ping-pong tournament, conducted an NCAA pool and did a “Clean Out Your Console” on parents’ cars.
The Student Council exceeded their goal, with $5,714 raised at press time. The money benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Last year, ZCHS raised more money than any other high school in Indiana. Students are hop-ing for the same recognition this year.

Commentary by Donna Monday
I cannot believe my good fortune. The redbuds are blooming and I am writing for a Zionsville newspaper. That, I believe, is the natural order of things. As I’ve said, if God hadn’t intended me to write a humor column, he wouldn’t have sent me so much material. Friends, in particular.
I stopped by Eagle Creek Coffee Co. this morning and compli-mented a lady on her hair style.
“Oh,” she said, “I couldn’t find my hair dryer, so I had to dry my hair in the oven.”
And so it goes. It brought me back to a differ-ent time, same place. Eagle Creek Coffee Co. is where McKamey’s Village Pharmacy was.
It was at McKamey’s that I met Emily Staser. She has no idea how influential she was in my determining the Village and I were a match.
I was a reporter for a local weekly. Notebook in hand, I joined the checkout line to buy film. Emily was manning the counter, on the phone.
She was talking to Marion Lowder with the insurance company. “I knew you’d want to
know Cheri is making chili today,” she said, referring to Cheri McKamey.
“Do you always call him when Cheri is mak-ing chili?” I asked.
“Oh, yes,” said Emily. “Marion would never forgive me if I didn’t let him know.”
I was charmed. I’d come from Broad Rip-ple, which bills itself as a village, but I suspected I’d happened upon the real deal.
“Is there anyone else you call?” I continued. Her eyes lit up.
“Yes,” she said, “I’d better call Jarret Clayton.”
Sure enough, he was glad to hear Cheri was making chili.
This was direct marketing at its finest. Both Marion and Jarret would be over for lunch. And, undoubtedly, bring their friends.
I determined then and there, this was the town for me. I’ve never been sorry.

Community Health Network introduces new radiation [email protected]
Community Health Network announced it is the first health system in Indianapolis to acquire the Intrabeam System, a new radiation platform designed to replace as many as six-and-a-half weeks of routine radiation therapy with a single 20- to 30-minute targeted radiation treatment. This revolutionary system was shown to be as effective as traditional radiation for certain women with early breast cancer.
“During the past several decades, radical surgery for early breast cancer has been replaced by less invasive, cosmetically more accept-able operations,” said S. Chace Lottich, breast surgical oncologist with Community Breast Care. “Now, radiation therapy can be given as a single treatment directly to the site of the
cancer during breast surgery. This approach not only eliminates the need for the traditional six weeks of outpatient treatments, but also avoids damage to the patient’s skin and surrounding tissues, with focus of the radiation directly on the cancer.”
Eligible candidates for the Intrabeam single-dose treatments include women who are 45 and older, with invasive breast cancer, a tumor less than 3.5 centimeters and no positive lymph nodes.

COMMUNITY Cover Story
by Derek Fisher • [email protected]
As a child, Joan Carney was surrounded by whispers of places far removed from her Mil-waukee home; there was an ethnic street party outside her front door, the scent of neighbors’ foreign foods drifting through the Wisconsin air, the occasional trinket retrieved by her par-ents on a voyage afar as a gift for young Carney.
She’s grown now, kids and marriage in the rearview mirror, but she’s still awash in worldly things.
Carney, owner of Lilly’s Boutique Gallery of Zionsville – celebrating 20 years of business this month – may have a Boone County store-front and a Carmel address, but she searches all corners of the globe to make her business one-of-a-kind.
“I’ve traveled to Denmark, Dubai, Egypt, Finland, Greece, India, Turkey, the Caribbean, all over Europe and twice to Morocco,” she says of her two-decade search for clothing from ex-otic vendors. “I want wearable art from artisans of all kinds. I want clothes no one else has.”
Its uniqueness is what set Lilly’s apart at its inception, and what still does today. So unique
and new, in fact, was the first iteration of Lilly’s – at 40 W. Pine St. in Zionsville – that Carney recalls a case of mistaken identity the first day her store was open.
“Two older ladies poked their heads inside the door,” she remembers. “I had all the plants, and it was so colorful, and they said, ‘Oh my, Zions-ville has a Halloween shop!’ I went in the back room and got sick.”
That day – April 7, 1992 – was the beginning of something very successful, despite the initial reaction.
“My worries didn’t last long,” Carney says. “Within two weeks, I was running up to Chicago to get more clothes because I was selling. I remember in 1993, I found designer jackets I loved that retailed for $1,000 each; I ended up selling 32 of those jackets. I had a really good following.”
Along with her flair for travel, Carney traces her love for clothing back to that Milwaukee childhood. Nicknamed “Lilly” by an uncle when she was very young, Carney had an older sister and thusly was the recipient of numerous hand-me-downs.
That just wouldn’t do.“My sister’s taste and mine were never the
same,” she says. “I got to the fourth grade and decided to take my babysitting money and ap-ply it to fabric, and try to teach myself to sew. I was designing patterns, matching plaids and bright colors. I was quite shy, but I was express-ing myself. That was my way.”
Carney credits her father – whose April 7 birthday was behind the selection of Lilly’s first day in business – for being a motivating factor behind the pursuit of her passion.
“He was the instigator of all this,” she says of her father, now deceased. “My parents were very intellectual, and I was the only arty one. My dad was promoting of my individuality, and that my talents were as good as anyone else’s. He was the cheerleader.”
That support system eventually spawned Lilly’s, which as the Midwest’s largest wearable art store, has seen clothing from more than 2,000 different vendors adorn its racks through the years. Carney routinely sees repeat custom-ers from neighboring states and remarks that, despite the economy, business has been steady.
“It’s hard work, but it was my passion to in-troduce wearable art on a larger scale,” she says. “I buy timeless things, and every person that shops here should be able to afford artwork at his or her price point. I never dreamed I’d be in this position, but this has been my calling. I’ve made a livelihood.”
With 20 years in the books, is the day near-ing when Carney will hang it up and focus on a different passion, interior design or gardening, perhaps?
“I don’t intend to retire,” she says.Undoubtedly, there is more world to see.
Joan Carney brings fashions of the world to Lilly's Boutique Gallery

Joan Carney moved to Zionsville in 1989. Lilly’s was initially a way for Joan to meet people in the community, but became much more. Joan, who majored in art his-tory and education at Marymount College in Tarrytown, N.Y., saw her sewing days come to an end when she broke her back fleeing a house fire before her move to Zi-onsville. Joan resides in Carmel and has two adult sons.

It is our position with the outbreak of pink slime reports, it is time we pay more attention to where our meat is coming from. The term pink slime was first coined by Dr. Gerald Zirnstein to describe the process of taking trimmings from beef and combining them. The trimming mixture is then soaked in ammonium hydroxide to raise the pH lev-els and kill off any E. coli. The mixture is then added to ground beef as a filler, which will help keep prices low.
The term pink slime brings images of something that might be seen in a “Ghost-busters” movie, but has never been proven to be any worse than the meat used in chicken nuggets. While the slime may not be as harmful as imagined, we think it’s a good time to look at purchasing meat from local butchers or grocers.
A number of local butchers in the area provide meat that has not been artificially altered in any way. Butchers such as Joe’s Butcher Shop & Fish Market, Moody’s Butch-er Shop, Archer’s Meats & Catering and if you’re craving something different, you can go to Bison World and get different bison meat products.

We’ve taken shots at the inadequacies of the federal government. We’ve pointed out where fiscal insanity seems to rule over all else. A col-league, though, pointed us to an organization whose sole function is to track the states’ effec-tiveness in integrity, and what we learned about Indiana made us shudder. Hoosier Nation ranks 22nd nationally, and what’s frightening is that Il-linois, the Land of Lincoln (and imprisoned gov-ernors), ranks 10th. State Integrity Investigation scored our state C-. Our government was given a grade of F on public access to information, politi-cal financing, ethics enforcement agencies and redistricting. Legislative accountability – here’s a shocker – was scored a D-, although we’re sur-prised it, too, wasn’t given an F. If you point your browser to www.stateintegrity.org/Indiana, you might be as surprised as we were. It’s a brilliant watchdog tool, with the ability to expand for de-tail each area given a grade. This should make all of us probe more thoughtfully those we consider hiring to run our state. This also should make all of us think more carefully the next time we go to the polls. It points out the need for transparency and accountability. Do your part by keeping the pressure on. Oh, by the way, New Jersey, for years viewed as one of the most ethically challenged states, leads the parade with a B+. Georgia, with an F, brings up the rear. Only Connecticut, Washington, California (California! Seriously!) and Nebraska were in New Jersey’s class.

Attack of the pink slime
Commentary by Terry Anker
The blame lies with dependence on the tiny screen of our smartphones. How could we humans be expected to spend hours per day peering desperately into the 3-by-4-inch monitor without some negative impact on our vision? With tiny, tiny print and all-too-much information jam-packed into its alluring interactive screen, some of us have become dependent on the reminders, messages and news that arrive throughout the day. Yet what-ever the reason for our collective and growing addiction, I hold it to account for my ever-diminishing acuity of vision. When complain-ing about it, my less tactful friends will point out that for decades, I’ve awakened in the morning instantly able to see both near and far without assistance. And even as peers have succumbed to glasses, contacts or surgery, I’ve lived blissfully unaware of these challenges.
Given a few moments (and thankful my arms are as long as they are), I am able to bring into focus the bright blue screen audibly
notifying me of a call – or text – or update – I’m not really sure, but as soon as I get the phone in the right place, it comes into focus and quick, appropriate response follows! But even as our mechanical vision blurs, does the clarity in which we see the world improve? In youth, each and every matter would appear, be identified and dispatched without much consideration. Only later did we realize how poorly we had perceived the situation – how bad our vision really was. Bad career choice. Bad family decisions. Perhaps, even the wrong spouse. But as life has progressed, doesn’t our vision measurably improve? Isn’t our perspec-tive enhanced by life already lived? So even if glasses are inevitable, can’t we rest comfortably in the fact we have a clearer vision now than ever before?

Commentary by Carl brizzi
On Feb. 26, 28-year-old George Zimmerman shot and killed 17-year old Trayvon Martin on the sidewalk of Zimmerman’s Florida neighbor-hood in what he claims was self-defense – Zim-merman has not been charged, but the case is now being investigated by the Dept. of Justice.
While the events sur-rounding this shooting remain cloudy, they have raised many questions about our self-defense rights. Do we have the right to fight? Or must we attempt to flee first?
The basic legal premise of the “Castle Doctrine” is there is no “Duty to Retreat” from a bad guy. Duty to retreat means if an intruder enters your home, you may not have a legal defense for protecting yourself with deadly force, unless you first attempted to retreat. This concept makes my head hurt for a number of reasons. It is possible that someone could not only be criminally prosecuted for protecting home and family, but could actually be sued by the intruder or the intruder’s family (if you were a decent shot). This concept, while absurd, is at the
very left end of the self-defense law spectrum. The laws in Florida and Indiana are at the
other end. Our state has a much stronger inter-pretation of the “Castle Doctrine” called “Stand Your Ground.” This notion, also called “No
Duty to Retreat,” allows for the use of deadly force by a person who has a legal right to be there – and no duty is imposed to attempt to “get away” first.
These self-defense laws are based on a “reasonableness” test. It is reasonable for you, for example, to defend yourself from an attacker – it is not reasonable to shoot him in the back as
he is running away. At the end of the 911 tape, Zimmerman tells police Martin is running away. Without evidence indicating Martin doubled back for a confrontation, Zimmerman may not pass this test.
Fight or flee: The ‘Castle Doctrine’

VIeWs Humor
laughs by Danielle Wilson
March is the worst time to go shopping. I was at the mall the other day returning a pair of shorts for my daughter. I had some time to kill and no babies on the hip, so to speak, and decided to pop in to my favorite retailers to see if I could find a few items for spring. I needed some sandals (the sole of one of mine from last year literally broke in half ) and a pair of denim capris (I wore out both knees of my old ones scrubbing floors), and hoped I might also be able to locate a fun new bathing suit.
What started off as a lovely day soon became an exercise in self-loathing and insecurity. First off, I’m paler than pale having not seen sun in six months, which meant absolutely nothing looked good on me. Having no tan also meant my cellulite stood out like the proverbial terd in a punchbowl. I don’t have much, but for some reason, the fat likes to party right around my thighs, regardless of how much I exercise or diet. (This is how I know God is a man; a woman would have created a female body that gains weight in the chest and loses it in midsec-tion. Not the other way around!) So the swim-suits were a definite no-go, as were the jeans. I simply could not find a combination of rise and cut that accentuated the right areas. The whole experience was exasperating.
The coup de grace was my adventure into Vic-toria’s Secret. Ever since my beloved water bra bit the dust last year, I’ve been too depressed to re-place her. Necessity ended my mourning period. So I walked right up to the first sales person (an annoyingly perky 20-year old) and laid it out: “I need bigger and better. Whatcha got?” She was a little too excited to sell me on their miracle of miracle push-ups, which miraculously didn’t make anything bigger or better. Talk about a buzz kill. I try the best VS has to offer, and I’m still measuring at preteen sizes? That’s a damn shame.
Five stores and not one purchase. I couldn’t even find a pair of basic black flip-flops because my big unpainted clompers resembled un-cooked German sausages. Fair enough. Lessons learned. No summer clothes shopping until August and no bra buying in person. Or ever. Peace out.
Spring shopping stinks

It’s been a tough couple of months for people who cherish the good old days. Hostess Twinkies are no longer being manufactured; the company filed for bankruptcy. Those tasty treats bring back memories of my elementary school days when I would always bring a package to school, eat one Twinkie and then trade the other to the class sweet-freak, Alan Guggenheim. In exchange, he let me look at his papers during math tests. My grades went way up. So did Alan’s cholesterol.
Last night I read the Encyclopedia Britannica will no longer be available in print form. The publishers have decided to go completely digital. I’ll miss them. I recall opening my first set on Christmas morning. Later that day, one fell be-hind the bookshelf and we didn’t find it until we moved. It was yellowed of course, but I still rel-ished it. Wait, I’m still thinking of the Twinkies.
Finally, USA Today reported last week bowl-ing alleys in church basements are dying out. I’ll pause a moment while you compose yourself.
I talked to several neighbors who are avid churchgoers and none of them had ever heard of a church with a bowling alley, although my friend Bob explained to me prayer and bowling have always gone together. Negotiating a 7-10 split and recording a 300 are achievements of a
celestial nature. As in most churches, perfection is sought, but seldom achieved.
In the USA Today story, one man lamented that his church’s bowling alley in New Haven, Conn., had been there for almost a century, but it was not attracting very many players in recent years. He blamed it on all the competition out there for parishioners’ free time – movies, cable TV, social media. His wife thinks it’s because there’s no automatic pin machine and no beer is allowed in a Baptist church. Yes, I think she may be on to something.
I grew up in a Jewish home and my family attended a reform temple. I am pretty sure we didn’t have a bowling alley in the basement, but our rabbi was an avid golfer, so he was pushing the congregation to install an artificial putting green.
I belong to a Unitarian church now. I’m go-ing to suggest to the board members we build a couple of lanes in the basement and start up a league. Maybe we could play your church team. Good luck coming up with a clever name for your squad. Holy Rollers is already taken.

Editor,Attending the Zionsville Community
Schools’ board meetings is a frustrating expe-rience. These meetings are pitifully short on financial business and overly long on presenta-tions that would be more appropriate during school-day forums. By the time any substantial business is conducted, few are left in the audi-ence. Maybe that’s the plan?
The ZCS’ annual budget involves millions of dollars. When one attends what should be a serious business meeting only to find there are no printouts of complete financial statements available for the taxpayers, it is inexcusable.
How infuriating to drive past the ZCS foot-ball stadium, with the same artificial turf used by the Colts, and then be told by ZCS admin-
istration that teachers will be riffed, resulting in larger classroom sizes, if the ZCS referendum isn’t passed?
Such excessive capital project expenditures do affect a school’s general fund. In addition, there are other budgetary excesses, such as employee’s salaries and benefits, including health insurance coverage most taxpayers cannot afford for them-selves. Somehow, the urgency of this nation’s financial condition has not effectively prioritized and restrained ZCS spending.
Zionsville needs to elect new school board members who will bring resolute, independent professionalism to the financial stewardship of ZCS.

Editor,After returning from vacation recently,
finding the new Current in Zionsville was such a welcome surprise! It’s about time Zi-onsville had an alternative when it comes to our print news, and I know that sentiment is shared by many other residents.
The fact that your first news story on Page 3 was about Akard says a lot, and hopefully is just the beginning of your support for the community. I look forward to reading more of Danielle Wilson’s and Brandie Bohney’s columns, and welcome back the familiar face of Ward Degler. I love that there is a bit of edginess, as well as current topics.
Keep it up and thank you for printing a paper focused on Zionsville.

Editor,I was surprised to receive your publication in
the mail this week. I was happy to read it and learn about what this publication has to offer.
One article that concerned me was “Is this the future?” I question your editorial judgment in featuring an anonymous person while provid-ing names and photos of others in the article.
I’m left to question the validity of John Doe’s comments, whether I agree with them or not. Who is this person who can make statements and be quoted, yet chooses to remain anonymous?
Coincidentally, I also subscribed to an online blog this week, Zionsville Confidential. Now I discover this person’s identity is secret as well … which leads me to wonder if he is your John Doe ... and why the need for secrecy?
In that secrecy, I think, lays a story.Pat long, 46077

Why so secret?Pleased with alternative print news
Editor,I was disappointed with your recent article regarding
the proposed school referendum because I felt it was presented as if there would be no benefit to residents without children if it were to pass. There are two main advantages to our community by enhancing our chil-dren’s education, whether you have children or not. The first main benefit of a high-quality school system is our property values. Many people seek out Zionsville as their place of residence because of the excellent reputation our schools have had in the past, and as result, Zionsville homes are higher priced than surrounding communities. As the quality of our community’s schools declines, so will the value of our homes. It seems the extra money paid in taxes would be worth keeping the resale value of our homes intact. Secondly, our nation is losing its foothold as a world power and starting to be surpassed by other nations such as China and India. It is in everyone’s best interest to make sure our education system is of the highest level. The future state of our nation depends on how well we teach our future scientists, political leaders and innovators.

Commentary by Dr. roger Spahr
It is estimated 44 million Americans have re-duced bone density. In 2005, 10 million Ameri-cans were affected by osteoporosis, increasing to about 17 million in 2010. Approximately 80 percent of those affected are women. Data on vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic proportions, hitting 60 to 70 percent of most persons in the U.S., and hitting up to 90-plus percent in high-skin pigmented populations, such as Hispanics and African-Americans.
Therapies may include exercise, nutrition and medications, both chemical and hormonal. Often, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry bone scans are used for screening. However, they are not sensitive to small changes and often not repeated for a year. How do you or your doctor know if you are being successful in your selected treatment? I will not discuss therapy, but a way to see if your chosen therapy is working.
Let’s discuss how your bones break down and then rebuild themselves. Have you ever seen the machines used by road repair crews that move along, crunching up old asphalt? That machine is followed by another that deposits new asphalt, rolls it out and bingo – you have a new smooth
surface. Your bones operate the same way. Os-teoclasts break down old bone and are followed by osteoblasts that fill in the holes left behind.
This combo is called a basic multicellular unit. This construction team typically works in tandem for four to eight months. One million BMUs are working to replace 8 to 10 percent of your bones every year. Like any construction project, debris or bone markers are left behind. These bone markers may be measured in the blood or urine. Ratios then indicate if your acceleration of bone loss persists, or it has reversed into bone building. You don’t have to wait for a year to find out. You can check every month or so until your ratios turn positive. This is called a Pyridinium Cross-links test, which is available through most labs.
If you are putting the time, effort and financ-es into osteoporosis therapy, make sure you are getting a benefit. Perhaps you are doing great. But if you are not, then you need to change your therapy to one that works for you.

Q: i got treated with botox for migraines three months ago and it was not effective. it was done by a neurologist and when i asked why it did not work, he said he did it in the “standard Food and Drug Administration way" by a band formation around the head, neck and forehead. This is so disappointing and i paid around $3,000 to have it done.
A: That is certainly disappointing to hear not, only because it did not work, but because of the way it was done. Botox works for a select group of migraine patients who have identifiable
peripheral trigger points in the frontal, temporal and occipital regions by both examination and history. It is these very specific points which are injected, not in a random method. You may benefit by Botox injections if you have these trigger points, so your lack of improvement is more likely due to you are either not a good candidate, or the injection approach was flawed.

In fall 1993, I started my first year of law school at Indiana University – Indianapolis. By the end of the first semester, I had come to the realization I disliked everything about studying the law. The next thing you know, I was waiting tables and looking for a job.
Personally, the theme is similar. During the years, I’ve had a handful of minor chronic ail-ments (e.g. – seasonal allergies) and tried numer-ous fixes for each one (I am now in my second year of allergy shots). My wife will be quick to point out I’ve had more than a few personal trainers, participated in multiple athletic events (ask me about a triathlon in Brown County), visited more doctors than pharmaceutical sales reps and will probably never again use the camp-ing equipment in the garage.
I think it’s easy to look at all of this and say, “This guy is nuts,” or “How many mistakes can one person make?” I’ll be the first to admit that at times, it can seem like I’m all over the place. However, during the past five years, I have decided to look at my approach in a different light.
It’s called trial and error, and it’s the only way I grow.
I wish I would have known prior to taking
out a student loan, buying the books and enroll-ing at IU that I would hate law school. It would have been nice to know I don’t have the patience to set up a tent prior to purchasing all of that camping equipment.
Unfortunately, in the U.S., we have another term for “trial and error” – we call this process a “mistake,” and most people find it completely unacceptable.
Trial and error is part of life. I can’t guarantee you’ll be rich or live in a big house. But one thing I can guarantee with 100 percent certainty is you will make mistakes – lots of them.
The question is – how will you respond to each of these mistakes? You have one of three choices. You can hang your head and say, “I am a failure.” You can ignore it and experience trial and error multiple times (there’s a chance that on multiple occasions, I’ve gotten to work and realized my phone is still at home) or you can recognize the error and learn from it.
As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Commentary by David Cain
When I was in college, the mail used to come and was sorted and stored in a giant bank of mail slots. Everyone would walk in this small room, which also housed a bank of washers and dryers, and survey the mail slots to see if there was anything in the slot purposefully marked with their name.
I remember the smell of fabric softener and the way the warm humidity from the dryers curled the letters. I also remember the joy of getting mail. The much anticipated bit of mail from home or a girlfriend made you feel like you were on top of the world, or at least climb-ing that way.
Today, e-mail, bills and junk mail have robbed me of the joy of getting mail. Even so, the real lesson wasn’t in getting the mail, it was in why you got the mail, and that lesson hasn’t changed. You get mail when you send it. If you don’t send any, you don’t get any.
Back then, when there wasn’t an outpouring of bills and junk mail, it was all about those
precious deliveries of caring messages. And, back then as it is today, you have to send mail to get it. I watch my kids’ faces light up when the mailbox has letters carefully addressed to them wishing them happiness or inviting them to a friend’s party. They love it, and I find myself wishing the bad-news box was filled with better news for me. It’s then I remember you have to send letters to get them.
You have to call people to get them to call you. You have to go places to meet new people. You have to meet new people to get new sales. As my dad always said, “They aren’t always go-ing to knock on your door, you’ve got to knock on theirs.” Opportunity only knocks if you let it know where you are. Does opportunity know where to find you? If not, maybe it’s time to let it know where you are.

This time of year, thousands of Christians make a pilgrimage to the tomb of Jesus in Jerusa-lem, many having a powerful spiritual experience. Surprisingly, they have a choice of tombs, and the one they pick may depend on their beliefs.
The first was located by Helena, who was sent to the Holy Land by her son, Emperor Constan-tine, to find sites important to Christianity. She returned in A.D. 328 with news she had found the tomb of Jesus in Jerusalem. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher was soon built around the tomb. For almost 1,700 years, Christians have made their way to the cavernous church.
After the Reformation, Protestants began looking for another tomb. Protestants were thrilled in 1883 when English General Charles Gordon found a tomb near a Jerusalem rock formation suggesting a skull, which he thought identified the Biblical “Golgotha,” where Jesus had been crucified. For General Gordon, the clincher was a groove on the ground he thought had been used to roll a stone across the opening.
And so, with great fanfare, the “Garden Tomb” opened to the public.
In 1986, Israeli archaeologist Gabriel Barkay concluded the Garden Tomb was not used at the time of Jesus. He also made an observation that escaped General Gordon: The groove in front of the tomb sloped away from the opening and would have prevented the tomb from being closed by a rolling stone.
Guides at the Garden Tomb no longer claim it held the body of Jesus. But Protestant visitors still worship there, experiencing the same emo-tions as before. Others continue to experience comparable emotions at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. As with many other sites in the Holy Land, tradition and belief can be as important as archaeology. And for many, just being in Jeru-salem is being close enough.

Original porch: This home, located in the Windpointe section of Waterstone in Carmel, was built mid-’90s and the owners have lived in the home for more than two years. While the home has a beautiful wooded lot and existing screened-in porch, the backyard area didn’t pro-vide the functionality the family needed. “We knew we wanted to remodel the outdoor area as soon as we moved in. The concrete patio was too small and not in-line with the rest of the house. We wanted to expand on it. The screened porch was showing signs of deterioration, so we knew we would either have to perform extensive repairs or totally remodel it. We decided to take all of the rotted walls and screens out of the porch and have a covered, open dining area.”
Porch modifications: The existing screen porch was modified to eliminate screens and knee walls and create enough comfortable space for casual dining for eight. The existing framing was modified and new decorative cedar corner braces were added. New exterior trim was added and a beaded ceiling installed, along with new ceiling fans and lighting.
Fire pit and hardscape with pergola: The
outdoor living design included a fire pit, seat walls, planter boxes and a grilling island. Bronze low-voltage lighting was added to illuminate the steps and pathways. The new patio features nat-ural travertine stone, including rock-face stone copings for the post caps, walls and grilling area. Stair copings were upgraded to travertine with a radius nosing profile.
Final results: The homeowners commented, “My husband’s and kids’ favorite part of the area is the fire pit. I like the open-porch dining area. Before, the small-screened porch was not conducive to the seven of us eating dinner out
there. Now, we have dinner outside all the time because the open space fits our family. It is a much more relaxing space now. The design of the three areas – dining, lounging and fire pit – flows nicely together.”

Gardening by holly lindzy
When it comes to a gardener, there is no truer statement than “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.”
Case in point, the other day I received one of my favorite questions, “What makes a plant a weed?” I love to answer that one because it truly depends on the gardener and the garden spot. In short, if it wasn’t planted by the gardener, gener-ally it’s a “weed.”
Now, before I continue, I will say if you are a farmer, the weed question is pretty cut and dry. In a situation where a crop is involved, which is a monoculture, one oddball plant counts as a weed. And it’s bound to be aggravating.
As for me, there are plenty of “weeds” I love and let linger in my own garden – even though I sometimes curse them later – such as dayflower or wild violet. I just can’t bring myself to get rid of them, even though I know they’ll spread like wildfire and I’ll be grumbling and yanking them for days.
At any rate, one knows its own garden and if it sees something it doesn’t want in there, my guess is it’s comin’ out. Problem is with some things, when you pull them, they come back double be-cause you snap their root. Not kidding!
So, the best defense in any case to treat for
weeds is with a liquid herbicide like Roundup, which works quite well. When the weed is small, it works better to control it and be sure to read the directions because a warm day is prefer-able to a chilly day to apply. If you’re concerned about the environment, Roundup’s residual lasts less than a day and is not toxic like you think. But if you’re determined, use white vinegar or even a handheld torch to burn the tops off. Still, not kidding!
To prevent weeds that spring from seeds, put down a granular weed preventer (the earlier the better, only caveat being you can’t plant any desired seeds there afterward). It prevents the germination of seed altogether. So you may consider saving your newspaper to form a weed barrier in your beds, and then mulch right on top of it. Gardener’s tip: Wet the newspaper with the hose right after you lay it.
Also, fill those beds up with the plants you DO love and give the weeds less foothold if they should find you. And keep in mind some weeds truly can be one’s treasure.
What is a weed, really?
