Janus breakfast raises $27k for nonprofit

By Jordan Fischer • [email protected]

The fourth annual Create, Connect and Commit Fundraising Breakfast, held March 23 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, raised more than $27,000 for Janus Devel-opmental Services.

Janus, located at 1555 Westfield Rd. in Nobles-ville, provides education and employment op-portunities for individuals with disabilities in Hamilton County. Its initiatives include First Steps, an early intervention program for school children with disabilities, and the Hamilton County Express, which provides transportation around the county and into north Marion County for individuals with dis-abilities. Last year, Hamil-ton County Ex-press provided more than 45,000 rides, for a total of 464,422 miles.

According to Janus’ CEO Connie Sanders, the First Steps program, which served 258 stu-dents last year, saves the state $13,000 for each student who does not enter into state education programs because of Janus’ assistance. Last year, Sanders said Janus saved the state $2.4 million through First Steps.

Janus’ work in helping Hamilton County residents with disabilities wouldn’t be possible without the efforts of volunteers and parents who have believed in the program, Sanders said.

“We know the power of a parent’s love, and the passion with which they’ve worked with us,” said Sanders.

Family-owned and operated, Buttitta’s Piz-zeria made its grand opening Jan. 17 in Fishers. Located on 116th Street, the pizzeria’s rich tradition dates to 1966 and serves authentic Italian- and Sicilian-style pizza, and Italian sandwiches. The family recipes have been in the Buttitta family for more than 70 years.

Owner Jeff Buttitta said, “My mother and father opened our first restaurant in 1966 in Champaign, Ill., and packed customers in for years.”

Buttitta works full time at The Hawthorns Golf & Country Club and manages the busi-ness and marketing aspect of the pizzeria on the side. Buttitta’s brother, John Buttitta, who has more than 40 years of experience in the restaurant business, handles day-to-day operations. The brothers gained experience and motivation from managing their father’s restaurant.

“My mom and dad believed in a simple premise: sell quality food at a reasonable price, giving our customers a reason to come back,”

Jeff said.He said he does not intend to

compete with the local chain restau-rants. Instead, Buttitta’s fills a niche he believes has gone unfilled in Fish-ers: a truly homemade pizzeria.

Not only does Buttitta’s offer a warm dine-in experience, but also offers the option of carryout for all menu items. And the menu of-

fers much more than a regular cheese pizza. Buttitta’s features traditional pizzas to gourmet specialty pizzas. All sandwiches are made from homemade ingredients. And it only takes one look at the menu to see the inspiration from Italian beef, Italian meatball, Italian sausage and Italian combo sandwiches.

Jeff plans on making the flagship location in Fishers, hoping to eventually expand to three to five other locations in the next five to seven years.

Editor’s note: The Fishers Chamber of Commerce hosted a forum Tuesday for candidates for Indiana State Rep-resentative District 37, which will represent Fishers in the Indiana Gen-eral Assembly. Courtesy of the Fishers Chamber, these are some select responses from candidate surveys filled out prior to the forum. The complete surveys can be found online at www.fisherscham-ber.com.

Debbie Driskell – www.debbiedriskell.comwhat are the three most important issues

facing Fishers? (List in order of importance.)Keeping schools strong; economic development; effective tax and distribution policies

If elected, how will you address these im-portant issues? Schools: Work to return power to our locally-elected school board; work to see our schools and teachers are fairly evaluated and graded. Economic development: Be an advocate between the town and the General Assembly; work to lessen regulations/fees/taxes that impede economic development; free the town to make decisions locally – empower the town to move forward on local matters not hinged upon the permission of the state(strengthen home rule). Effective tax policies: See that formulas, such as County Option Income Tax, are fairly weighted to not advantage units which have a history of high rates and debt.

why are you running for state representative? I was brought up to believe it is my civic duty to be involved in the commu-nity in which I live. I have practiced that principle for decades. I now have children and grandchildren living in the district and

wish to protect and better our community by serving in the General Assembly. I will work tirelessly to see our community grows and is bettered by bringing local decisions “home” where they belong. “Top-down” management inhibits communities from growth and vibrancy. Local leaders need to be empowered to exercise common-sense solutions to local challenges.

Todd Huston – Todd Huston for State Repre-sentative (www.facebook.com)

what are the three most important issues facing Fishers? (List in order of importance.) Economic development in Fishers and across the state; funding for Hamilton Southeastern schools; infrastructure and transit systems

If elected, how will you address these important issues? Fishers and the state of Indiana must continue working to become a national leader in economic growth and job creation. However, we must continue to attract companies to locate and stay in our community

through low taxes, responsible gov-ernment spending and a streamlined regulatory environment. Additionally, we should provide local municipali-ties the freedom to use their local tax revenues as they see fit in order to encourage economic development in their local communities. While significant improvements were made by the 2011 General Assembly to

provide an improved funding formula for HSE schools, we must continue to modify the for-mula to reward the type of academic excellence HSE schools provides their students.

why are you running for state represen-tative? As a 28-year resident of Fishers and a graduate of HSE, I feel blessed to have lived in a community that provides tremendous opportu-nities and support to its residents. I hope to use my experience as a former HSE School Board member and community leader to represent Fishers in an effective manner from day one. Additionally, my experience working for Gov. Mitch Daniels will guide me in making positive and immediate progress on issues important to our area within the General Assembly. Most importantly, I want to ensure future generations of Fishers residents and Hoosiers have an even better Indiana in which to live and work. I hope my service and leadership will help foster this opportunity.

Local entrepreneur Jeff Renbarger recently opened the newest and tastiest business to open in Noblesville – Menchie’s, the leading chain of self-serve frozen yogurt stores, at 13170 Harrell Pkwy. The Hamilton Town Center location is also the first Menchie’s to open in Indiana.

“It’s pretty exciting to be the first one in In-diana, and Noblesville is the perfect area for it,” Renbarger said.

Menchie’s is a unique frozen yogurt brand that places a strong emphasis on the experience its guests live every time they visit a store. Of-fering a vibrant atmosphere complete with party rooms, chalkboards and bright colors, Menchie’s encourages families to come in and spend a memorable, fun-filled day together.

“It’s a fun escape. Every guest gets a gift be-sides the yogurt before they leave,” Renbarger said.

Menchie’s guests help themselves to an un-limited mix of yogurt and toppings at a unique self-serve station with more than 100 rotating yogurt flavors from cake batter and pomegran-ate tart to chocolate silk and vanilla snow, and more than 70 rotating toppings including fresh fruits, granolas, nuts, an assortment of candies and hot fudges. Renbarger said the Noblesville store has 21 choices available each day.

“Some flavors – like vanilla, chocolate and original tart – we don’t rotate,” he said.

Instead of using mixes, Renbarger said an ex-ecutive chef oversees the Menchie’s unique prod-uct line of private branded yogurt. The store also provides healthier alternatives by offering nonfat, low-fat, no-sugar added and low-carb options.

“We really have about everyone covered,” said Renbarger, adding Menchie’s uses the highest-quality frozen yogurt and contains live and active cultures, and is endorsed by the National Yogurt Association.

Instead of having set sizes and prices, the weight of frozen yogurt and toppings deter-mines the cost. Renbarger said each ounce is 45 cents and waffle cones are an additional $1.

Menchie’s is also actively involved in the com-munities it serves by partnering in fundraising activities and education incentive programs.

Each Menchie’s store donates thousands of dollars in cash and products annually to local schools to support student programs.

“We really believe in getting involved in the community with schools and churches,” ex-plained Renbarger. “We give 20 percent back to the groups.”

Menchie’s Hamilton Town Center, 13170 Harrell Pkwy., Noblesville, is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For more informa-tion, call 773-6628 or visit www.menchies.com.

On March 25, students at Hamilton South-eastern High School hosted the fourth annual Matthew Springer Memorial Dance Marathon to raise money for Riley Hospi-tal for Children. For four hours, just less than 100 students and teachers danced in the high school cafeteria in honor of the Riley patients.

“We prepared all year long for this four-hour event. It was a lot of work, but in the end, the reward was more than I could have ever imagined. I plan on doing it in college,” said Kelsey Froehlich, co-president of HSE’s Riley Dance Marathon.

The celebration began with Indiana University Dance Marathon members leading the attendees in a synchronized line dance that featured songs like “I’ll Be There for You” from the TV show “Friends,” The Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and an instrumental score from “Harry Potter.” They divided the choreography into several parts, teaching it in sections during the course of the evening.

“We love the dance marathon; it is so awe-some that everyone is excited and ready to

dance,” IU sophomore Jenna Mizzi said. “It makes me so happy people can get together in order to help others.”

Aside from the line dance, the marathon of-fered a cornhole station, Wii Just Dance games and a bounce house, in addition to a wide va-

riety of food and a doughnut-eating contest.

In the midst of dancing, eat-ing and laughing, there were moments of solemnity for families of Riley kids, including the Andritsch, Springer and Tousell families. Scott Springer, the father of Matthew Springer, feels especially touched by the organization’s support for his son, to whom the annual event is dedicated.

“I think it is an absolutely fabulous idea of getting young people involved with those who need help, but I wish

(the amount of students) was larger. Everybody needs to grab a friend, or five; the more the merrier,” Springer said.

Everything at the marathon was contributed by businesses in the Fishers community, such as Famous Dave’s and Zogurts, and all donations col-lected at the marathon benefitted the Ryan White Infectious Disease Center at Riley. The event con-cluded with an astounding total of $15,001.28.

COMMUNITY Cover story

By Kourtnee Hamilton • [email protected]

In February 2011, 22-year-old Emily Worrall founded an or-phanage, Ekisa (meaning “grace”), for special-needs children in Jinja, Uganda. Since then, Ekisa has been providing a home for disabled children and their parents, and employment for disabled adults.

Worrall’s first trip to Uganda was during a two-week mission trip in 2007 when she was 17. After the trip, she began traveling there every summer to help in any way she could.

While volunteering at Amani Baby Cottage, an orphanage for newborns to 5-year-old children, Worrall developed a connection with three special-needs children. This, along with the evident need for a place children older than age 5 to go to, sparked the idea for Ekisa.

According to the Ekisa Web site, Worrall met Emily Hender-son, the co-founder of Ekisa, while volunteering at Amani and “a casual comment was made about how amazing it would be to start an orphanage for children with special needs, and that little comment took root deep in each of their hearts.”

The first time Worrall went to Uganda with the intention of starting Ekisa was in spring 2010. She stayed for slightly more than a month and talked with people in the Ugandan govern-ment to find out everything required to found the orphanage.

“I moved (to Uganda) in September 2010,” said Worrall. “Then, we spent the time from September 2010 to February 2011 in Uganda looking for a house and waiting on paperwork. (Later) in February, we got our registration from the Ugandan government that allowed us to take in children.”

Before moving to Uganda, Worrall had a plethora of doctor visits to attend in order to receive all the necessary immuniza-tions. According to her, only two immunizations are legally required to be granted entrance into Uganda, but more are recommended.

Though she did not have to learn any new language before moving to Ekisa, Worrall has picked up on the local language. Where she lives in Jinja, there are two main languages, but she is

not fluent in either of them. Ekisa has been home to 20 disabled Ugandan children and a

staff of 35 Ugandans who are either disabled themselves, or par-ents of the children. The house is rented, but staff members are looking for land to build their own home.

Since moving to Uganda, Worrall has only returned to the U.S. twice. While here during February and March, she traveled across the nation to speak at churches and other events to raise funds for Ekisa. She shared stories of specific children and showed pictures while speaking, and usually opens a Q-and-A at the end of her presentation.

“People have been really supportive and touched by our kids’ stories,” said Worrall. “In Uganda, these children with disabilities are seen as worthless. We have a lot of stories of parents changing their minds about their kids (and their place in society).”

Her time spent in Uganda, typically 11 months out of the year, is very busy on a daily basis. Being the founder, she takes care of most of the things around the orphanage, including anything to do with administration.

Children living at Ekisa wake up at 6 or 7 a.m., bathe and have breakfast. When they go out to play, a physical therapist visits the home and starts working with the kids. A few of the children even attend school in the mornings if they are capable. A manda-tory nap time is held in the afternoon after lunch, and the rest of the day they play outside.

“There are some really funny Ugandan games our moms play with the kids,” said Worrall. “The most recent one they have taken a liking to is a cross between Monkey in the Middle and dodgeball; it’s very interesting.”

After viewing the Invisible Children documentary, “Kony 2012,” which depicts the lives of child soldiers involved in Joseph Kony’s Lord's Resistance Army, Worrall began conducting further research.

With the explosion of the Stop Kony 2012 campaign, Worrall found it difficult to say whether it positively or negatively im-pacted Uganda. She had not yet been back to the nation since the

outburst, but she had read some articles that claimed Ugandans had not received the attention well.

“There have been a lot of debates going on (in regard to Joseph Kony), but I think we can all agree he needs to be stopped,” said Worrall.

Worrall is looking into receiving grants for being a nonprofit, but all the funds toward Ekisa are raised from private donations.

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 Illinois, the Land of Lincoln (and imprisoned governors), ranks 10th. State Integrity Investiga-tion scored our state C-. Our government was given a grade of F on public access to informa-tion, political financing, ethics enforcement agencies and redistricting. Legislative account-ability – here’s a shocker – was scored a D-, although we’re surprised it, too, wasn’t given an F. If you point your browser to www.statein-tegrity.org/Indiana, you might be as surprised as we were. It’s a brilliant watchdog tool, with the ability to expand for detail 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 ac-countability. Do your part by keeping the pres-sure on.

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?

Acuity of vision

Relocation and CustodyJob losses during this economic recession have forced many people to relocate in order to downsize their residences or to pursue new job opportunities. A move may also occur following a divorce, especially if one of the former spouses had temporary living arrangements while the sale of the marital home was pending. People may also relocate when a new relationships leads to cohabitation or remarriage. Divorce and relocation are two of the most stressful changes in an adult’s life. Numerous details and tasks must be managed and completed. When children are involved, the

focus is usually whether the change will affect their friends or which school they attend. But how many parents are aware that their move may violate state statute? Under Indiana Code 31-17-2.2, a relocating individual must file notice of their intent to move with the clerk of the court that issued a custody or parenting time order. This requirement applies regardless of whether the move is across the street, across town or to a different state and has caught many parents by surprise, especially those who divorced prior to the adoption of the new law. Previously, the statute only required filing of a relocation notice when a move was greater than 100 miles. Now, notice must be filed not later than 90 days before the proposed relocation, and the non-relocating parent has 60 days to respond to the filing if the parent seeks to prevent the relocation. The court takes numerous factors into consideration regarding the relocation, including distance involved, and whether the relocating parent is making the move in good faith and has a legitimate reason for the move. The priority of the court is to confirm that the move is in the best interests of the children. If distance is a factor, other matters must be addressed, including how the move will affect parenting time and impact the non-relocating parent’s relationship with the children. This can be a volatile subject for many parents, and the financial and emotional stresses can exacerbate the situation. However, communication and cooperation can minimize the conflict and the parents may be able to negotiate an agreement. Regardless, consulting with an attorney can help either the relocating or non-relocating parent understand how the statute applies to their particular situation and develop a plan of action to address their concerns. The above is for informational purposes only should not be considered legal advice. Each case is unique and you should consult an attorney for advice regarding your particular situation.

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.

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

Laughs by Dick wolfsie

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.

WellnessHEALTH

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.

DOUGH Business

Commentary by CJ McClanahan

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 Mike Colaw

As a child, I remember one year going to a big church Easter revival. With the full choir, great music and impressive stage construc-tion, church members did an amazing job of bringing ancient Biblical narrative to life! The live animals were impressive, even the Roman Centurions looked like modern-day bodybuild-ers. It’s really cool to see people express their faith through creative ways. In the last few years, I have had the opportunity to meet some extremely talented artists with the ability to express their deep faith using simple tools like a pencil and paper, and create an image that ex-presses the depth and truth of their faith.

Expression of faith is a wonderful, inspiring ability. I do, however, believe some people get to the point where they begin to worship their expressions of faith more than the truth they claim to believe.

I was discussing this concept with a friend of mine the other day, and he said it like this: Imagine a young lady who grew up in a really conservative church. Pretend her mother constantly put the pressure on her to wear long sleeves. After years of fighting, the young lady finally yields to her parents’ wishes and begins to feel peace in her heart. The rebellious fight

in her finally calms and she feels like a new person. Even the relationship with her parents improves. Let’s pretend, years later, she has a daughter. She deeply wants her daughter to experience the peace she did, so she forces her daughter to repeat the same ritual of worship – wear long sleeves. This mother doesn’t realize her peace had nothing to do with the sleeves and had everything to do with a heart transforma-tion that took place as a result of her willingness to honor her parents; the sleeves were just an expression of the event transpired in her heart.

Religious people do this in many different ways. Many people, if closely examined, wor-ship their expressions more than any truth they claim to believe. There is nothing wrong with long sleeves, huge Easter productions or even an organ playing an old hymn, as long as we never forget these should be expressions of a truth that lives in our hearts.

The Bible does give rudimentary expressions we all should exhibit. Take a moment and read all of 1 Corinthians 13 and Galatians 5:22.

Commentary by Larry Greene

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.”
