It is our position that the state of Indiana is losing valuable income as a result of its failure to adequately enforce laws requiring residents to purchase Indiana plates for all automobiles. Although Indiana’s budget is much healthier than many states, we can ill afford passing on any lawful opportunity for revenue.

Office parks, manufacturing facilities, and even one’s neighborhood host numerous vehicles with out-of-state plates, often expired! Collective-ly, the loss of revenue from these vehicles denies the state much-needed tax dollars, all the while shifting the burden to law-abiding citizens.

State law requires residents to register vehicles and purchase plates within 60 days of moving into Indiana. Likewise, we must secure an Indiana drivers license within 60 days. Failure to secure these represents a violation of the law, a loss of revenue to the state and a hindrance to law enforce-ment and other officials. No one likes taxes and fees. Yet the current financial situation is causing hardship for all, and “overlooking” these viola-tions may seem harmless to some, but we citizens of Indiana are the losers. Officials must step up enforcement. And if we are unlawful, we must make an effort to find remedy or face the consequences.

Fair share Representative It is our position that a healthy dose of skepti-

cism is warranted whenever a person or group purports to represent a broad demographic. No large collection of people, whether defined by race, religion, geography, social status or other such crite-rion, can possibly possess unanimity in opinion on any topic, yet too often we see a person or organization advance a position on behalf of an entire group.

Sometimes it is simply the loudest voice that drowns out the nuances of opinion within a group. Given his claims, does Al Sharpton represent the views of all African Americans? Does Rush Limbaugh speak for all con-servatives? Other times, a formal association is used to advance a position that is not shared by all members. Many senior citizens join AARP for the discounts that come with membership, but disagree with its advocacy of ObamaCare and other matters of its political agenda.

The media often facilitate this phenomenon by falling into the easy trap of defining the opinions of an entire group by the positions ad-vanced by the most vocal of its members. We, as consumers of media and thoughtful participants in the democratic process, must be alert whenever it is claimed that “a group” thinks “this way.”

Section 10. Selection of Justices of the Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals. To be eligible for nomination as a justice of the Su-preme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals, a person must be domiciled within the geographic district, a citizen of the United States, admitted to the practice of law in the courts of the State for a period of not less than ten (10) years or must have served as a judge of a circuit, superior or crimi-

nal court of the State of Indiana for a period of not less than five (5) years.(History: As Amended November 3, 1970).

Section 11. Tenure of Justices of Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals. A justice of the Supreme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals shall serve until the next general election following the expiration of two years from the date of appointment, and subject to approval or rejection by the electorate, shall continue to serve for terms of ten years, so long as he retains his office. In the case of a justice of the Supreme Court, the electorate of the entire state shall vote on the question of approval or rejection.

Editor,Please let me respond to Joe Plankis’ view

point in the May 31 edition of the Cur-rent. Plankis admits with great pride that he turned in Mr. Cameron to the election board for violating a minor campaign law. It never ceases to amaze me how low the Cook campaign will sink.

Mr. Cameron, being a first-time candidate, didn’t know he was violating the law in the first place. It was an honest mistake. Secondly, he went to this precinct to see if there were any Democrat poll workers at this precinct. Plan-kis asked why Mr. Cameron did this, since he was running as a Republican.

The answer is rather simple. We knew early on in the campaign that the Hamilton County Republican Party could not be trusted. Mr. Cameron checked to see if any Democrat poll workers were working at the polls hoping they would keep things on the up and up. I saw several people prevented from voting for one reason or another. It was illegal for the Repub-lican Party to deny these people the right to vote. They should have been given a provisional ballot.

Mr. Cameron was told by several prominent Republican Party bosses not to run. He was even told by the mayor of Carmel that he could not win early on in the campaign. How would Brainard know this?

Then, in the same article, Plankis decided he has to speak for the once-investigated Deputy Mayor Bruce Hauk. Why can’t Hauk speak for himself? I most certainly would if allegations were made of me that were not true.

In the world of politics, it is often the case when a political figure has done something wrong he is given two choices. The first is to resign and the problem will go away, or two stick around and face the consequences. I be-lieve Hauk choose his first option one day after the primary.

If Hauk is such a man of integrity, why has he not spoken? I think the truth is in his silence. Hauk has Mic Mead and Plankis. Those are two reliable sources whose comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Mead and Plankis will do or say anything to remain in power.

Take comments with a grain of saltThe Westfield Farmers Market, now in its

fourth year after the seasonal debut last Fri-day, is bigger and better than ever. The week-ly offerings, available from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Fridays through Sept. 2 and sponsored by St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, are twice as plentiful as last year’s. In a laudable strate-gic move, the city moved the market to an area adjacent to City Hall on North Union Street. That means more space for vendors, more room for visitors and more available parking and other amenities, including restrooms and picnic tables. Live entertain-ment each week and artists’ booths combine with the available fruit, flowers and produce to give the event a mini-festival feel. We believe that’s as it should be. This represents another stride forward for the collection of city features, another example of growth and another example of what makes Westfield a great place to live and raise a family. Themed markets – focusing on patriotism, pets and city history – are on the way. “Farmers mar-kets are good for your health, good for your community, and good for the economy,” says Annie Poynter, executive director of the Downtown Westfield Association, which plays host to the market.

Congratulations to all the recent high school graduates in our midst. While some departing students may view the pomp and circumstance as a long, boring affair, the rest of us might tend to get a little choked up at this rite of passage. Our “future,” for the most part, is headed off to college, where, we hope, the foundation will continue to be built upon so that they may become part of a great next generation. There remains so much to achieve, so much to accomplish, so much to repair. Our generation isn’t necessarily getting it done. The future is yours, grads. Own it!

COMMEntaRYBy danielle Wilson

I go to the grocery store at least twice a week, sometimes more. And on average, I spend about a hundred bucks per visit. Six to seven gallons of milk, five boxes of cereal, two bunches of bananas, yogurt out the wazoo, bread, snacks … you get the picture. The point is, I know my way around Meijer, and I have my grocery shopping down to a fine art. (“I work in dairy the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It’s my true medium. A master.”) Many of you, however, do not. So, in a moment of selfish kindness, I have listed below my steps to an ef-ficient grocery experience.

1. Have a list. This is Grocery 101 here, people. You have to have a list of the things you need or want in order to maxi-mize your budget and shopping trip. This is both to prevent you from buying things not on the list (impulse purchases like Pringles and beef jerky) and to ensure you get everything your family deemed impor-tant enough to actually write on the list. Usually it’s the stuff you don’t know about − husband’s razors, daughter’s deodorant, cat’s food, etc., − essentials that you will most definitely hear about when forgotten.

2. If you patronize superstores, park at the non-grocery end of the lot. You can usu-

ally find a better spot, and the check-out lanes at the retail section tend to be less crowded. You’ll also feel smarter.

3. I shouldn’t have to mention this, but I realize I am dealing with some amateurs here: Always park as close to a cart cor-ral as possible. (And if you’re pregnant or have small children, take advantage of the “Expectant Mothers” spots!) This saves time and energy during the cart-to-car transfer and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Start at the back and work your way to the front (or left to right in a horizontally laid-out store). This prevents backtracking and usually puts you in the opposite direction of inefficient and inexperienced shoppers, whom you must avoid at all times. Pre-tend they are zombies.

5. Only use the self-check line if you have less than 10 items and 75 percent of those are pre-packaged. You are not a profession-al cashier! You do not know from memory the scan code for radicchio!

6. Never get in line behind women over the age of 30 (unless it’s me). I’m telling you straight up, this is one area where men actually have it down. They purchase less, never use coupons, and usually pay with cash. I think it’s because they don’t want

to be there, so they are trying to get out as fast as possible. Me likey!

7. Choose your cashier carefully. Ideally, you want a male. They chit-chat less and can easily be intimidated by your feminine wiles should a discrepancy arise.

8. Sort your goods on the conveyor belt into these categories: cold and frozen products, boxed goods, cans and jars, produce, and smooshables like bread and chips. This allows your male cashier to scan and bag more efficiently, and ensures that dairy and meat purchases stay colder longer. (Doo always teases me about this when-ever I allow him to tag along, but just this weekend I had a cashier actually thank me (right in front of Doo) for my anal reten-tive organization and confirm that this technique does, in fact, speed up check-out. It was a delicious moment for me.

So there you have it, good people of central Indiana. Now go forth and shop efficiently! Peace out.

Advice from a shopping pro

A foundation, four walls and a roof builds a house and that’s exactly what a group of West-field High School stu-dents accomplished.

It’s all part of a con-struction class that Jason Hemmerling has taught for 13 years. He says the class has evolved with technology over time, but the core of what students get from the class stays the same.

“Technology has helped and we use programs that help us along the way, but the key elements of pounding a nail, fixing a wall and being self-sufficient comes from the hands-on work,” Hemmerling said.

However, the students from ages 15 to 18 go farther than the key elements and Hem-merling prepares them to build more than just a foundation.

The students spent the last few months build-ing a small house in WHS’s workshop. For most of these teens, building the16-by-eight-feet home provided a number of new experiences.

“Some of the kids have never even used a hammer, but then they gain knowledge in a field they’re not experienced in and take this new knowledge and apply it and gain confi-

dence,” Hemmerling said. “It’s like a rite of pas-sage for the kids.

Derek Smith, a junior at WHS, said to see where he started in the class and now to see a finished project of what he didn’t know he was capable of is a “cool” thing.

“The guy that never hammered a nail before, that was me in the beginning; it was all new.” Smith said. “There were some times when I thought ‘I don’t see how we are going to finish this,’ but I just trusted Mr. Hemmerling would get us there.”

But the work-in-progress carpenters found more than just the nuts and bolts of building a house.

Clay Curtis, a freshman, said he learned how to communicate and work together for a com-plex project like this one.

“I only knew one person in the class and you’re always being divided into separate groups and learning new things with new people,” Cur-tis said. “It could be challenging but it was a fun way to get to know people and learn.”

Hemmerling said it’s a neat way of teaching to be able to watch these kids working side by side and communicating to be part of some-thing a little bigger than them.

But Hemmerling says, as a teacher, he en-courages them to take their new carpentry skills further than classroom construction.

“As a teacher you get to know them and

you’re proud of their work, but the big thing you ask yourself is have they found that hot button? Something that gets them excited, something they’re passionate about that could

become a career, not a job, but a career,” he said. “That’s my goal as a teacher: to help them find that hot button.”

Though the Carmel Marathon Championship Weekend’s events will be held in Carmel, Westfield - and the rest of Hamilton County - is expected to benefit financially. The races will bring to this area some of the sport’s top athletes, and the weekend could draw more than 10,000 visitors to the county, many of whom will eat and stay in Westfield. “When this came across our plate, it was very attractive to us,” Hamilton County Sports Authority Director William Knox said. “The average sports traveler spends about $110 a day in our community.”

“I remember the first time I ran two miles on the treadmill,” recalls Todd Oliver. “I got off and looked around like… did any-one just see that?”

Oliver is the president of the Carmel Marathon, the inaugural run of which will be held on Saturday. The event is the culmina-tion of nearly two years of planning and work by Oliver, and the marathon’s parent company, the Carmel Racing Group.

Oliver himself has become an avid marathon runner since his first in 2002, the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, TN. He’s gone on to run a total of 10 marathons in seven different states, including the prestigious 2011 Boston Marathon, to which more than 100,000 qualifiers applied. Next on Oliver’s list is the Berlin Marathon in September. In 2008 alone, the Berlin Mara-thon drew more than 1 million spectators.

punishment,” Oliver said. “If you didn’t do something well, you ran laps. It took me until after college until I enjoyed running again.”

It was 15 years ago that Oliver says he began running for fun and fitness. Seven years later, he joined the Indianapolis Runners Club, and eventually became the president. His love for running continued growing, to the point where he merged his profes-sional background and new avocation into an event management company through which he organizes 5k run/walks for charity. In the week before the Carmel Marathon Championship Weekend, he was traveling to Denver to do just that.

For Oliver, the draw to run comes from more than simply the obvious fitness benefits.

“It’s such a cleansing thing for your body,” he said. “It cleanses your mind through the endorphins. It allows you time to release, to think. It’s one of the things that… it becomes like medicine.”

According to Oliver, marathon runners compose an elite sect of the population.

“Only 1 percent of the U.S. population ever finishes a mara-thon,” Oliver said. “So what we tell people is, you can be the last person to cross the finish line, you can walk to the finish, and you’ll be considered an elite athlete. You’ll be part of that 1 per-cent of the population. That motivates a lot of people.”

And motivation is key, he says, to make it through the intense training required for more competitive marathons. For the Bos-ton Marathon, Oliver spent 16 weeks training, and ran more than 400 miles to prepare for the 26-mile race.

“That’s why spectator support is so important,” Oliver said. “They remind you that all those training runs in the rain and the heat with no one around weren’t for nothing.”

Pushing through the pain“I remember it distinctly,” Oliver said, recounting an injury

which nearly derailed his chances to run in Boston only eight weeks before the race.

He recalled, “We had six inches of snow that day. I slipped and fell on the ice, and tore my PCL (a major ligament in the knee). The doctors told me I had a 50/50 chance of needing surgery, and the diagnosis was no running for 8-10 weeks.”

“I said to myself, ‘I’ve been trying for four years to qualify for Boston, there’s no way I’m not going to do it.’ ” Oliver said.

Oliver began walking in two weeks, and by six weeks was do-ing 20-mile training runs. On the eighth week, he ran Boston.

“My time was the slowest marathon I’ve run because of my injury, but it was the most fulfilling marathon I’ve ever run,” he said. “And that’s what we hope for the Carmel Marathon. For a lot of people, it may be their first marathon.”

Not only is this year’s Carmel Marathon a qualifier for the Boston

Marathon, it also will host the 2011 USATF Men’s 8k Champi-onship, which pays a $20,000 purse to the top 15 finishers. Oli-ver said participants have registered from 42 different states, and three countries. The weekend will also feature a half marathon, and a one-mile family fitness walk.

Family Special

gRaMMaR lESSOnBy Brandie Bohney

When my older daughter was an infant, I was picking out tile at a home improvement store with her when a kind elderly gentleman stopped to tell me what a beautiful child she was. She was – and still is – a beautiful child, and I was flattered except that the man kept referring to her as a boy: “What a darling little guy,” “He’s so happy,” and so on.

Normally, determining the gender of an infant can be hard: most babies look like some combination of Winston Churchill, Yoda, and a boiled chicken. But clothing can provide an important clue, and on this particular day, my daughter was wearing a purple shirt with pink and green flowers on it and pink, green, and purple-striped pants. Very girly.

In much the same way, most of the time, nouns are good at showing their plurality. Of course, just as in the case of the kind man at the hardware store, some people are going to screw them up anyhow. But in general, they’re pretty obvious.

But what about the nouns clad in green or yellow? You know what I’m talking about: spe-cies, ethics, dominoes, measles. What are they? Singular? Plural? Both?

Unlike the baby wearing an ambiguous color, these nouns aren’t one or the other. They’re

both. There are a few types of nouns that have the same form whether they are singular or plu-ral, but both forms appear to be plural because they end in –s.

The trick in using these stubborn nouns cor-rectly is simply in knowing whether you mean to use the word as a singular or a plural. For example, measles is singular when referring to the disease but plural when referring to the spots on one’s body.

Measles is a viral disease.Drew said his measles were itching.In the case of ethics, when referring to the

study, it’s singular. When referring to moral principles, it is generally plural.

Ethics is a challenging major.The boss’s ethics are questionable.And so on. As with so many word-specific

issues, if you aren’t sure, look it up. It only takes a moment to check the definition online or in a handy pocket reference dictionary (everyone has one of those, right?), and it’s better to be certain than to be wrong.

Is it singular or plural?

» Beware of ‘meat glue’ – Ground beef contains the meat from hundreds of animals from different parts of the world, but the same can be true for prime cut steaks. That’s possible through the use of so-called meat glue, used to “super-glue” small chunks of meat together that are too small to sell, and passing it off as prime cuts. Meat glue is an enzyme called transglutaminase. Some are produced through the cultivation of bacteria, while others are made from the coagulant that makes blood clot. Reports show that the bacterial contamination of meat glued steak is hundreds of times higher than a solid piece of steak, and this practice is used in chicken and lamb, too.

Think about a typical dinner with friends — often, after scanning the “starters” section of the menu (sometimes more appealing than the bor-ing “entrée” portion), aren’t you tempted to say, “Hey, how about we split a few appetizers?” My point is that people crave light and stimulating pre-dinner dishes.

During the conception of this recipe, I was toying with using a protein which would be a break from the norm (duck briefly crossed my mind), yet was readily accessible at local markets (duck was summarily crossed off my list). And then I mentally snapped my fingers—turkey. Tur-key is lean, retains its signature flavor, and easily accepts the essence of vibrant herbs and spices.

On the cold-and-crisp side of the division is the Boston bibb (also called butter lettuce), which is a delicate contrast to the sweet-and-spicy filling, and the hoisin adds distinct notes of Chinese cuisine. As I mentioned, this could be served as an appetizer, but would also be a fresh and healthful lunch (read low in carbs). Executed properly, these wraps are a dead-ringer for those $8 to $10 appetizers at your trendy fusion restaurant. Minus the price tag, that is.

How does one go about putting a band into a genre when the group has made its own sound? With Tax Brandywine, you really don’t tend to think about it for too long. You typically just sit back, enjoy, and become distracted by a dulcet collaboration of guitar, lyrics, and drums. The uniquely titled group, a band of Noblesville High School graduates, will be strumming out in the Carmel Arts & Design District’s upcom-ing IU Health North Hospital Rock the District concert this Saturday.

IU Health North Hospital, along with the partnership of Carmel Marathon, will host the annual event that spans from the intersection of Main Street and Range Line Road in downtown Carmel. It is here in the cluster of music and people that Noblesville’s own will be command-ing their audience. While performing hits from their debut album Atrocities on the Highway, they will also be selling and promoting it on location.

Pierce Duncan, an NHS 2007 alum and lead-er of the band, commented on their style with the term “last wave rock,” as his band has coined it. Duncan later expanded the vision of his mu-sic by saying, “I wanted to make music that can change and progress…It’s kind of developing.”

Fellow group members Johnny Concannon, graduating with Duncan, and Nick Weber, a graduate in 2009, fill out the group.

The band is also right in the middle of record-ing its second album Wonky Tonk, which will be debuted later this year.

They will be performing at the Indiana Live! Casino Stage in the PNC Bank parking lot at the center of the concert at 4 p.m. The day’s concerts begin at 2:30 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. The concerts are free to the public. Other bands will be performing as well throughout the day. Shopping and food also will be available with participating locations having special sales and activities just for the concert.

I love that it is finally warm enough outside for popsicles and ice cream! There is not much better then sharing a popsicle with your children, or a friend outside on a warm day.

But when you are looking for something a bit more “upscale” than popsicles, ice cream is a favorite alternative. And it is actu-ally my preference. I love ice cream!

And if you decide to have an ice cream party to cool off in the middle of the summer like I just might do, here is a fabulous way to serve your ice cream: in homemade chocolate waffle bowls!

Homemade chocolate waffle bowls are so easy to make and absolutely delicious! They are soft and just a bit chewy, and they are a great compliment to any ice cream!

(And yes, these can be made without an expensive waffle cone maker!)

CHOCOLATE WAFFLE BOWLSIngredients:• 1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate• 2 tbsp. butter • 2 whole eggs • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1/2 cup granulated sugar • 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:1. Preheat a pan with a flat bottom on a medium-low

temperature.

2. Place the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Stir to combine then set aside to cool for five minutes.

3. Beat the eggs and salt in a small bowl with a fork until well blended. Beat in the sugar until sugar is incorporated and the eggs have light-ened in color slightly, approximately one minute. Stir in the melted chocolate and butter. Add the flour and cocoa powder, stirring slowly until all flour is moistened. Beat another few seconds to incorporate the flour and remove all lumps. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter in the center of the pan. Working very quickly, spread until thin. Cook on both sides.

5. Immediately place the chocolate waffle, into a small bowl to form its shape. Leave in the bowl until it cools completely.

6. Enjoy with ice cream!

» Pencil it in - Opt for eye and lip pencils over liquid liner and lipstick. Their waxy formulas resist dissolution on damp skin; plus, lip pencil under gloss makes the shiny layer last longer by giving it something to adhere to, says Chantel Miller, senior makeup artist for the MAC Pro Team. For super budge-proof color, look for waterproof formulations. Try Ur-ban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye and Lip Pencils ($18 each, Sephora), and store them in your fridge.

» Suit rules for men – 1. The jacket always outranks pants, shirt, and tie; the busier the pattern, the plainer the rest of your outfit should be. 2. You can wear a wool blazer all year-round; a good linen blazer, especially in a dark shade, is ideal for warm-weather office wear. 3. Sometimes if you’re canny, the jacket of a bold patterned suit — say, in a strong windowpane — works as well with unmatched pants as it does in the suit.

Liposuction remains the most rapid way to lose unwanted fat, albeit a surgical one. While it is ideal for those people who have made every effort to lose on their own through diet and ex-ercise, not every fat area responds the same. Some fat areas are more difficult to lose than others, and certain fat areas can not be re-duced at all except in the face of extreme weight loss. It is these non-metabolically responsive fat areas that justify liposuction intervention.

One of the very good questions any prospec-tive patient should ask is, “Will my fat return?” There are many urban myths, but science and a lot of patient experience provides the following insights.

Fat will not return after liposuction. This is patently false. The reality is fat can return. The results from liposuction are closely aligned with your weight. If your weight stays the same years from now, then so should the result. Fat after liposuction can return just as easily as after weight loss.

If fat comes back after liposuction, it will go to other body areas. This is sort of true, but not to the extent of what was originally removed. A recent published study showed fat suctioned from the stomach and thighs of women created some slight increase in measure-

ments in the arms and upper back a year after surgery. But not to the ex-tent that the women noticed or were bothered by it.

Fat cells are permanently de-stroyed by liposuction. This is not true. Those fat cells that have been suctioned out are permanently re-

moved. But there are always lots of fat cells left behind, as you cannot, nor would you want to, remove them all. While the fat cells left behind may be damaged, they have a great ability to heal and regrow. Because it has been discovered that fat sites have the highest amounts of stem cells in the body, and stem cells can be easily stimulated to grow and transform into fat cells, liposuctioned fat sites are not immune to recur-rance. This may be different with the current use of Smartlipo (laser liposuction), where the heat from the laser energy can cause more fat and stem cell damage.

Despite the effectiveness of liposuction to re-duce unwanted fat, the long-term success of the procedure is highly dependent on the lifestyle habits of the person on whom it is performed.

Quercetin is un-der study as an agent for lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, fighting allergies, reducing inflammation, enhanc-ing muscle growth and function, treating depression, some forms of cancer, and other conditions.

Sleeping myth – Some people swear that quick naps make them sleepier, but a snooze that’s less than 20 minutes should perk most of us up. Just 10 to 20 minutes is all you need to boost alertness, performance and mood. A nap of 20 minutes or longer, though, may leave you groggy when you wake up, as the brain enters what’s called slow-wave sleep at this point.

» Five good Euro stocks? – Nomura Equity Research has six banks in its European rec-ommended portfolio, five of which trade on U.S. markets. Three are large, diversified regional institutions: UBS (UBS), BNP Pa-ribas (BNPQY.PK) and Lloyd’s (LYG). The others are Bank of Ireland (IRE) and National Bank of Greece (NBG). The last two choices have declined by more than 80 percent and 70 percent, respectively, since Nomura added them to its portfolio in December 2009. You’d be crazy to bet the rent money on them, but if you’ve got money set aside for speculation in the market, then these and the others on the list seem like good candi-dates for a piece of it.

» Small-business hiring increasing? – Small businesses continue to add jobs, but the pace of hiring seems to be flattening. Five months ago, the sector started picking up, adding over 100,000 jobs in December and January, according to data compiled by ADP, a payroll processor. In April, however, businesses with fewer than 50 employees added 84,000 jobs, down slightly from the 100,000 jobs added in March, according to ADP’s most recent report from early May. The positive hiring numbers suggest the sector is strengthen-ing slowly after getting hard hit during the recession.

During the next couple of years, the International Monetary Fund predicts emerging economies will grow nearly twice as fast as developed ones. It predicts the fastest growth will occur in developing Asia, with China and India leading the way, and projects average growth of 9.6 percent and 8 percent in those countries over the next two years. This trend is nothing new, and emerging Asian markets were mostly unfazed during the credit crisis.

Given Asia is where most of the world’s eco-nomic growth is likely to occur in the coming decades, here are three stock picks to take ad-vantage of this phenomenon.

Banking giant HSBC is based in the United Kingdom and counts on Asia for a third of its sales and more than half of its profits. It bills it-self as the world’s local bank, serving 95 million customers with branches across Europe, Latin America, and parts of the U.S. It got burned during the financial crisis by buying a subprime lender in the U.S., but is recovering. It trades with a low price to earnings (P/E) of 11 and has an appealing dividend yield of 3.5 percent.

MetLife used to primarily be a U.S. life insurer but added Asian exposure by purchasing the AL-ICO division from beleaguered insurer AIG. Like

HSBC, it is a giant financial institution and serves 90 million customers in 60 countries, with 30 per-cent of its total premiums now from overseas and focused on Asia. Its P/E is even lower at less than 9 and its dividend yield is decent at 1.7 percent.

As unlikely as it sounds, car giant General Mo-tors is the market leader in China with a market share of more than 13 percent. China and Asia, in general, still make up a small percent of sales, but a leading position in what is now the world’s largest auto market could eventually start to make a big contribution to overall sales and prof-its. GM is a play on the global auto market, and with a P/E of less than 8, global economic recov-ery, and rapid growth in Asia, it could see solid stock gains in the next couple of years.

Playing in the financial space and cyclical automotive market is not without risk, but the above players should see solid gains in Asia in the coming years. If all goes well, it should even-tually result in higher stock prices.

Three stock picks geared toward Asia

With so many new grads out of work, do you think getting a bachelor’s or associate’s

degree is becoming less important?

“No, I think you need a higher education.”

Elif Teegen

“No. I have two daughters. One has her high school GED, and she has trouble finding work. One daughter…is a college graduate with a really good job. There are jobs avail-able, but you just have to have the education.”

Nora Neal

“I think sometimes there’s such a focus on education that young people aren’t learning the basics of a good work ethic. There should be less of a focus on edu-cation because not all kids are two- or four-year-degree people.”

Beauty, lifespan and versatility are three great virtues of hardwood flooring.

Knowing what kind of wood flooring is avail-able, and what to put where, maximizes those virtues.

Hardwood flooring comes in two basic types: solid and engineered. Solid is just what it says – solid strips of hardwood usually three-quarters of an inch thick. Engineered hardwood looks exactly like, well, hardwood, because that’s what it is, but “engineered” (manufactured) like high-quality plywood.

The veneer (surface you see) on engineered hardwood flooring can be sliced from tree stock like solid flooring, or rotary peeled, which cre-ates dramatic graining.

The functional benefit of engineered flooring is its stability, being far less susceptible to the ef-fects of humidity because it is cross-grained and glued. Not quite as thick as solid wood flooring, engineered flooring is strong in every direction and can be cut into wider planks for a modern and elegant look. Narrower strips give wood flooring a more traditional and busy feel.

Solid wood tends to swell, warp and “gap” between boards in high-humidity environments; therefore it is not something normally installed in a basement or on a cement slab. Engineered wood has several cross-patterned layers glued together, which limits its movement and expan-

sion/shrinkage with the seasons. Solid wood has a lifespan of 100 years or

longer because it can be sanded and refinished, usually up to three times. Engineered flooring can last from 40 to 100 years depending on the thickness of the veneer and can also be sanded and refinished.

Cost, installation and overall value of solid wood vs. quality engineered wood flooring are more or less equal. You’ll want to talk with a flooring professional to determine what best accommodates your needs, but the decision resides in the application, taste and heart, not so much the pocketbook.

Plentiful and renewable in nature, wood pro-vides a hypoallergenic and easy-to-clean surface that doesn’t harbor mold, mites or microbes.

It’s easy to count the ways hardwood is a great flooring choice.

Did we go right from early spring (cool and wet) to late summer (hot, humid, dry) in just a few days? With near record temperatures on Memorial Day and the 10-day forecast indicating hot, and more hot temperatures, how can landscaping help reduce my cooling costs?

Have you ever noticed that parks and wooded areas often seem cooler than a street landscape? It isn’t just your imagination: Shade from trees can reduce surrounding air temperatures by as much as 58°C. Tree-shaded neighbor-hoods really are cooler than those with few or no trees.

Recently, Colorado State University research indicated that landscaping can reduce heating bills by as much as 25 percent and cooling bills by 50 percent or more. Through the strate-gic planting of deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves), evergreen shrubs and other vegetation around your home, you can reduce your need for central air conditioning.

Trees are very effective in keeping sun away from your windows, while cooling breezes pass underneath and cir-culate around your house. A 5-7 foot tall deciduous tree planted near your home will begin to shade windows in its first year. If they’re tall enough, they will also help to shade your roof and keep the heat out of your attic. Trees avail-able at garden centers like ours have trees that are identi-

fied by the trunk’s caliber; so a 2 - 2 ½” caliber tree will easily get you the height needed.

Bushes, shrubs, hedges and ground-cover plants also have an important role to play. They fill in rapidly to shade walls and windows, and also help to block heat reflection from patios and pavement. When planted around your central air-conditioning unit, they serve to pre-cool the air going into your home. Remember to keep all shrubs well pruned and remove grass and leaves around the unit to ensure good ventilation and airflow.

Quick-growing, climbing vines on a lattice or trellis are also excellent natural shade devices, especially for patio areas. Planting trees and shrubs in key areas around your home will reduce heating costs as well by providing pro-tection from winter winds and cold. In fact, putting just a little thought into landscaping is a good long-term invest-ment to reduce home heating and cooling costs.

Have a great week, and please let me know how I can help you.

HUMORBy Mike Redmond

Summer is here, hooray, which means it is time once again to light the grill and once again experience the Grand American Tradition of food ritually immolated over an open fire.

Cooking outdoors, of course, is Man Cook-ing. This is because all American Men over the age of 18 believe they are born with a special Outdoor Cooking Gene that gives them power over combustible substances, such as charcoal, LP gas, and really cheap hot dogs.

Because they are nice people, women let us have this conceit. The truth of the matter is any-one can be a perfectly competent grill cook, but women stand aside and let men think they are born to it, mostly because it’s just so entertaining.

Here in Central Indiana, the most popular items to grill are steaks, chicken, burgers and brats. For the sake of clarity, grilling brats means cooking sausages, not interrogating the smart-alecky neighbor kids you suspect of demolishing your mailbox.

Of course, the more advanced grillers such as moi are more adventurous in the foods we victimize. I mean select. We might opt to cook a duck, or a leg of lamb, or vegetables, or fruit, or even pizza on our grills.

Anyway, here is a short list of non-barbeque-able foods you newbies might want to avoid:

• Cheese.• Pasta.

• Peas.• Pie.Don’t ask me how I know this. I just do, OK?

Which brings me to another important sug-gestion: Always make sure you have the proper cleaning equipment around. Not only will it re-move the bad-idea food residue, it will go a long way toward cutting down on that pesky pto-maine poisoning by ensuring you always have a safe cooking surface for the food you ruin.

Yes, I said ruin. Let’s take a steak. This should be simple. You take a slab of meat, put it over the fire, cook it a short while, turn it over, cook it some more, and then eat it. Easy, right? No. The trick is timing.

All properly timed outdoor grilled steaks are juicy, tender and cooked to the diner’s prefer-ence. The other 99 percent are either Pittsburgh rare (black on the outside, raw on the inside), or ready to be made into sandals.

Ah, but enough negativity. Let us think instead of the glorious summer days ahead and the manly thrill of food on the grill grill. Oh, and don’t for-get the cheap hot dogs. Yes, they’re inedible, but they make terrific fuel for your Tiki torches.

But skip the peas. Trust me on this.

HUMORBy dick Wolfsie

Just when you thought you’d never get a good night’s sleep again … just when you were con-vinced all those over-the-counter medications made you more dopey than drowsy, here come Lazy Cakes, the coolest thing to happen to brownies since the ’60s.

Lazy Cakes are like Ambien CR in a chewy chocolatey square with a layer of fudge in the middle. The product, sold at convenience stores next to 5-hour energy drinks, Slim Jims and bu-tane lighters, provides a mega-shot of natural herbs that the manufacturer claims will result in the best snooze of your life. The Lazy Cakes package is em-blazoned with a cartoon brownie called Lazy Larry, whose drugged-out smile suggests the same thing I was talking about in the first paragraph.

The major ingredient is a sleep-inducing sub-stance called melatonin, a chemical that is produced naturally in your body, but apparently not nearly enough at night and too much when you are at the 2 p.m. staff meeting or in church on Sunday.

There are some major concerns about this new product. Toxicologists report, for example, that in the USA last year there were 5,000 melatonin-related calls to the poison center. In another study, scientists claim the ingredients in Lazy Cakes that make you nod off quickly may be detrimental to women who are trying to con-ceive. Ya think?

Of course, there are blogs for consumers who, once they can crawl out of bed, want to share their Lazy Cakes experience. “I ate one while I was watching TV and it made me so sluggish I didn’t even want to grab the remote,” wrote one man. Lazy Cakes may be this year’s most popu-lar item in Dad’s stocking.

One woman claimed she threw a Lazy Cakes party and everyone indulged: “All our bodies went limp. We closed our eyes. There was yawn-ing, then snoring. Suddenly, we were on our way to bed at 10 p.m.” This sounded like last New Year’s Eve with my wife and our closest friends. Except we all ordered bread pudding and four regular coffees.

Personally, I’m not a big chocolate fan. So, I’ve also drafted a letter to my friends at Cracker Bar-rel asking if maybe they could spike their roast chicken with a little melatonin, a smidgen of rose hips, some valerian root, and a hint of passion flower, all proven to give you heavy eyelids.

One final note on melatonin from the New England Journal of Medicine: “After frequent consumption, it will stop working.” And so, by the way, will anyone who takes it.

Having your cake … and sleeping, too

Brewster is a 6 year old male golden Corgi mix. Brewster is a very out-going and active boy who loves to run and play. He is also very intelligent and has managed to teach himself to become an escape artist, so he will need a fenced in yard but will need to be supervised while outside. Brewster is house trained and knows some basic commands and he also very af-fectionate. He is best friends with his brother, T-Bone, and they are very attached to each other and will need to be adopted together and they would be best suited in a home with children age 10 or older.

Frost is a 2 year old male brown tabby DSH. Frost is a friendly guy who is just thankful to be alive after being found in the middle of the road with a broken and frozen tail. He was brought to the shelter in mid-January and was dehydrated and emaciated so he received immediate medical attention. Frost has been in a foster home recov-ering from his injuries, gaining some weight and he is now healthy and ready to find his forever home. He has become quite personable and re-ally enjoys attention and having his head and chin scratched. He also enjoys a soft blanket, regular meals and the safety of being an indoor cat.

dISPatCHESCOMMENTARYBy Dr. Greg MaggEvery few years, the veterinary profession up-

dates its definition of what it means to be a senior cat. The old-fashioned calculation of one human year equals seven pet years disappeared long ago.

Guinness World Records lists the oldest human as having lived 122 years. The current world average hu-man lifespan is 67.2 years. However, location and lifestyle makes a difference! If you live in Swaziland, your life expectancy is only 31.8 years, whereas if you live in Japan, the average human lives 82.6 years.

Where you live and how you live often determine how long you will live – with cats too!

For instance, the aver-age lifespan of an outdoor, feral cat is only 4.7 years. Wow!

The average indoor cat lives about 15 years, but with wide variance. Again according to Guinness, the world’s oldest cat was Creme Puff, who was born on 3 August 1967 and lived until 6 August 2005 - an amazing 38 years and three days!

So when is a cat truly “senior”? And how do we care for an older cat differently than a younger cat?

Because of their risky lifestyle, I usually tell own-ers of outdoor cats to check their kitty yearly for FeLV/FIV virus, complete a yearly fecal test, and keep them on flea and heartworm preventives each

and every month.Cats living a cushy indoor lifestyle begin to en-

counter age-related physical changes between seven and 10 years of age, and most do so by the time they are 12.

We recommend evaluating your healthy senior cat more frequently than a younger cat. For example, every six months instead of once a year. At least once a year, certain tests – includ-ing blood tests, fecal exam-ination, and urine analysis – will be suggested.

Older cats can show signs of aggression, often because of pain (e.g., from dental disease) or being less mobile (e.g., from arthri-tis). Cats with painful ar-thritis may have difficulty gaining access to a litter box, especially if negotiat-ing stairs is required. Even climbing into the box may be painful for such cats; urinating or defecating in

an inappropriate location is the natural result.Cats are masters at hiding illness. If it’s been

a while since your kitty has seen the vet, please schedule an appointment today!
