The West Clark County school district has six schools in addition to the ones destroyed. Each of Nobles-ville’s schools and the Central Administration Office served as a collection point for school supplies, and will make a delivery to Clark County this week. Noblesville Schools also served as a collection point for monetary donations through the American Red Cross of Greater Indianapolis.

Months of mystery surrounding the disappearance of Nobles-ville resident Dorothy Heard, 74, ended last week as the Grant County coroner’s office said a body found there in February is of the missing grandmother. But while the search for Heard – who had been missing since June 13 – has ended, the investigation into her disappearance and death is still under investigation.

“It’s a step in the right direction as we continue our investigation,” said Noblesville Police Dept. Spokesman Lt. Bruce Barnes. “We don’t have an answer to cause of death and other questions. It’s not changed much on what we’re continuing to do.”

A tip led Noblesville Police investigators to a rural area north of Marion on Feb. 9 where human remains were found, but condi-tions were such that no immediate identification was possible. Confirmed identification of the remains found near Mississinewa Reservoir was made using DNA. Heard’s remains were sent to a forensics lab at the University of Indianapolis for trauma analysis testing. The coroner said those results will lead to a clearer pic-ture of how she died. While the positive identification provides a name, Barnes said many questions are unanswered.

“There are not a whole lot of answers – how did she get there, how long has she been there, what is the cause of death?” he said.

Since the investigation into Heard’s disappearance began on June 14, police have searched for her in Hamilton, Tipton, Madison,

Grant and Wabash counties. Since her body was discovered in Grant County, Barnes said the two law enforcement agencies are sharing resources and information as they work together on the case.

“This is still very much an ongoing investigation,” he said. “We still don’t have a suspect.”

Barnes said Heard’s nephew is still a “person of interest.” Donald Burns, 47, of Elwood was caught on surveillance video footage using Heard’s credit card to purchase hun-dreds of dollars in jewelry at a Wal-Mart store in Marion, just hours after she was last seen by other family members. Barnes said Burns also tried to pawn Heard’s wedding ring at EZ Pawn in Marion the same day. On Jan. 17, Burns was charged with two counts of forgery and two counts of theft for the alleged actions on June 13. However, Burns

has not been charged in Heard’s disappearance or death.“She would not have given him the ring and credit card will-

ingly,” said Lou Ann Sylvester, Heard’s daughter. “I would like to know how he got them.”

Police officers wanted to ask Burns questions about Heard’s disappearance, but were unable to because he refuses to cooperate in the investigation. Barnes said police believe Burns might have been one of the few people to have last seen Heard.

Those who may have tips on Heard’s disappearance are encour-aged to contact NPD investigators at 776-6371.

“We’re still hoping we get a break,” said Barnes. “We’re still submitting information and evidence to the state lab (for analysis and testing).”

COMMUNITY Our NeighborsCarter joins Aspire Indiana board

Noblesville-based Aspire Indiana is honored to announce the addition of Meredith L. Carter to its Board of Directors. Carter has worked in many community-serving educational roles throughout his career, which spanned from a high school science teacher to chancellor of Ivy Tech State

College. His dedication to serving others and helping those less fortunate will be a tremen-dous asset during his term on the board.

He has also served in member or leadership roles at various nonprofit organizations, includ-ing the Carmel Clay Chamber of Commerce, Hamilton County Leadership Academy, Janus Developmental Services and several others.

State Rep. Kathy Richardson (R-Noblesville) took time March 6 to honor David Boudia for his dedication and level of commitment to a sport he loves — diving. Boudia’s ultimate goal is to win a gold medal in diving at this summer’s Olympics in London.

“David is an incredibly talented diver. His hard work and dedication to something he loves represents the very best of the athletic spirit,” said Richardson. “I know he will represent the state of Indiana and the U.S. fantastically this summer.”

Boudia grew up in Noblesville and is now a senior at Purdue University. While at Purdue, he has become a six-time NCAA champion, a

2011 Big Ten Athlete of the Year for all sports, the USA Diving Athlete of the Year and Purdue Male Athlete of the Year. He is also a 16-time national champion. Boudia turned pro in 2011, and his focus is now on the 2012 Olympics in London.

“As David prepares for the Olympics, I wish him the best of luck,” said Richardson. “I know our whole community will rally around this Noblesville native as he goes for the gold!”

Boudia was honored by Richardson with an official resolution on the House floor. She commended him for rising to “a level of perfor-mance achieved by few athletes in any field.”

COMMUNITY Road Construction

Commentary by Greg O’Connor

As I contemplated what would be on citizens’ minds, The Beach Boys song “I Get Around” came to mind. Transportation is one of the ma-jor issues all communities face, and Noblesville is no exception.

As an update, the utility work for the realign-ment of River Road has been begun. We look forward to the weather improving and the full project being started. As always, with projects of this nature, there will be a period of inconve-nience, but the improvements will be worth the wait! The target date for completion is summer. The Roads Committee will be reviewing the final road resurfacing list for 2012. As the city’s budget has tightened, the average life of our existing roads will need to be extended given the current (and ongoing) level of funding available. Our street department will be working diligent-ly this year to assist in this endeavor.

At this year’s state of county address, Com-missioner Steve Dillinger provided an overview of the county’s transportation projects. One of the most significant of those is an additional bridge over White River. This project may be the most important Noblesville has contem-plated in a number of years. As the city and county continue to grow, the urgency to make this bridge a reality increases. We will be looking

at routing options for a road to the proposed bridge, which will need to incorporate future traffic flows from Ind. 37 and Ind. 32, and the potential of light rail in the community. Input from a professional study, and the public, will be essential in this process. Finally, the funding for this project will also hinge on public desire to pay for a project of this magnitude. More details on this will be forthcoming.

Speaking of state highways, a study is un-derway looking at the required changes at the intersection of I-69 and Ind. 37 and for the cor-ridor. The results of this study should be avail-able later this year. For those of us who use this corridor on a frequent basis, there is no question as to the necessity of improvements at the inter-change and on Ind. 37. Once again, the issue of cost and timing will come into play.

Success in bringing new jobs and high-quality amenities to the community will require our continual investment in transportation infra-structure. Our challenges will be prioritization and identifying appropriate funding sources to make these projects a reality.

Transportation: Getting around!

Greg O’Connor is president of the Noblesville Common Council. The council meets at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month in City Hall. O’Connor can be contacted at [email protected].

Local retirement community sponsors writing competition for high school seniors

[email protected]

The Stratford, a retirement community located in Carmel, announced it is giving away nearly $3,750 in cash prizes to be used for future college expenses by local high school seniors. The Silver Pen Scholarship is open to high school seniors with plans to graduate in 2012. The scholarship is for seniors in Car-mel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville and surrounding areas.

First place will receive a plaque and $1,500; second place will receive a certificate and $1,000, third place will receive a cer-tificate and $750 and fourth place will receive a certificate and $500. Winning participants will receive their prizes at a formal award reception at The Stratford in May.

Entries will be judged by a group of retired business profes-sionals, educators and community leaders. Judging is based on several criterion including creativity, fluidity of language and the ability to convey complex feelings in a concise and clear manner. This year’s topic asks students to consider the perspec-tive of a person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

“There’s no doubt we can do a better job of educating our children and young adults about important topics related to aging in America,” said Sam Carrillo, The Stratford’s executive director. “Our nation is faced with a shortage of knowledge and resources for a rapidly aging population. The goal of The Silver Pen is to get young adults interested in the process of aging so we can foster a culture of mutual understanding and respect for the aged in our society.”

The deadline for entries is March 30. Students interested in participating in The Silver Pen contest should request an appli-cation by e-mail at [email protected].

INDOT has announced its intent to speed up U.S. 31 Hamilton County con-struction using contractor financing, a public-private partnership strategy enabled last year through one of Gov. Mitch Daniels’ legislative initiatives. Under this proposed plan, the project would open to traffic by the end of 2015, three years earlier than expected.

“We’ve found a way to bring this project forward by three years for the people who have waited for so long for U.S. 31. It will be bid in one bundle, and be built less expensively and years sooner than would have otherwise been the case,” said Daniels, who made the announcement at the 2012 Road School Conference at Purdue University.

In May 2011, Governor Daniels signed into law Senate Enrolled Act 473, which allows for expanded use of private capital for transportation improve-ments. Using this new law, INDOT intends to bun-dle remaining construction phases for U.S. 31 Ham-ilton County into one contract, taking advantage of current low construction and financing costs. INDOT would then repay the contractor over seven to 10 years using state and federal transportation resources.

Under this proposed plan, INDOT is exploring closing U.S. 31 to traffic for ac-celerated construction of an overpass at 126th Street and roundabout interchanges at Main and 136th streets.

Those interested in learning more about the schedule and maintenance of traffic changes to the project, as well as current and upcoming construction, can attend a public open house March 29 at Carmel High School’s main cafeteria, 520 E. Main St. The open house will run 5 to 8 p.m. with a presentation scheduled for 6 p.m. Interested in learning more, but can’t attend the open house? Check out up-dates on the project website at www.us31hamiltoncounty.in.gov.

COMMUNITY Cover Story

By Robert Herrington • [email protected]

That’s What She Said began as most musical bands do – a group of friends hanging out. Little did they know at the time, but Sommerwood neighbors Jason Venturi and Aaron Smith started the ball rolling at a small cookout in 2005. In 2006, the neighbors invited a few more people over for the Fourth of July.

“It was a good party and grew from 20 to 50 people. The next year we had 80 – it was a big block party,” Venturi said. “In the third year, we said, ‘How are we going to top this next year? We need to get the band back together!’”

The two previously played in bands when they were younger, and while the idea seemed ingenious after a day of partying, their wives – who the men claim agreed with the idea at the time – quickly sobered up the next morning and made sure their hus-bands knew they weren’t serious.

“Our dreams were shattered,” Venturi joked. The key turning point came when they were playing the video

game Rock Band during the holiday cookout in summer 2009. As Smith played bass guitar, Venturi was on lead guitar, and his friend, Josh Bach, impressively belted out vocals. An idea began to take root – this make-believe attempt at rock ’n’ roll could blossom into the real thing.

“Aaron called me and said, ‘If I get a bass, will you get a gui-tar?’” recalled Smith. “Once we heard Josh, we knew we had potential once we found a singer.”

“The game is fun, but not as good as the real thing,” said Joe Marcum, rhythm guitarist and Sommerwood resident.

After adding Marcum and a drum-mer who also lived in Sommerwood, the equipment was purchased and the basement practices began. Knowing they needed a name for the band, members were talking one day and kicked around ideas from NBC’s most-watched sitcom.

“We are all fans of ‘The Office,’” said

Smith. “Someone made a comment and then came the joke, ‘That’s what she said.’ How it came up, it was better than any-thing we could think of.”

The band then grew from random run-ins and luck. “Everything kind of happened for a reason,” Smith said.After their initial drummer moved away, Westfield resident

Ralph Cook joined. Violinist Bennie Harris was discovered by Ven-turi at Wendy’s. Harris was wearing a treble clef T-shirt that caught Venturi’s eye, and instead of eating a meal with his family, he talked music with Harris. Saxophonist Mark Ortman was looking to sell a high-end saxophone on craigslist before the band contacted him

about coming to perform with band members after watching clips of Ortman’s work with the symphony.

“The brass sounds amazing. It brings energy,” Venturi said.

The most recent addition was Bach’s sister, Melissa Bach-Mill-spaugh, who joined her brother’s band three months ago. The ad-dition of a female singer allows a wider setlist of songs to feature her voice.

“It’s been great. We grew up in a musical family,” Bach said.

“We feed off each other’s energy,” Melissa added.

Like the video game Rock Band, TWSS offers a wide variety of music – from the ’60s to present.

“We all have different (musical) preferences,” said Bach-Mill-spaugh. “We have 31 different flavors – we’re the Baskin-Robbins of bands.”

Two years after forming the group, TWSS is playing locally in the Indianapolis area. In February, the band performed at Cheese-burger in Paradise in Fishers and Stacked Pickle in Carmel.

“We’re established in our careers, but fighting in the trenches as a band,” Smith said.

Venturi described the touring schedule like a Sunday afternoon motorcycle ride – “How many shows do we really want to play?” Fame and money isn’t what the members are looking for, but

rather, the outlet music provides in their lives.

“We love it as a hobby,” Venturi said.“Finding balance between work and fam-

ily is crucial,” said Bach. “I didn’t know how much I needed a creative outlet. It’s amazing how great I feel at practices and shows. This helps me balance out my life.”

For now, TWSS band members said they want to focus on being known in the India-napolis area.

“We have a good time. We aren’t looking to go on tour and quit our day jobs,” Mar-cum explained.

It is our position the legislative debate over same-sex marriages will be ultimately handled by the U.S. Supreme Court. As such, we urge our Indiana legislature to focus its finite resources on more productive pursuits.

Certainly, many Hoosiers hold strong and sincere moral and religious convictions that such marriages delude traditional families or are simply abjectly wrong. Yet, our reading of Section 4 of our Constitution leads us to believe this may be a matter for the courts. “No preference shall be given, by law, to any creed, religious society or mode of wor-ship …” Moreover, the very first sentence reads: “We declare that all people are cre-ated equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness …”

The decision of with whom to spend one’s life is deeply personal, and perhaps among these inalienable rights integral to the Amer-ican understanding of liberty. Regardless, we know it is inevitable courts will weigh in on this matter. And, we look forward to a spir-ited discussion. In the meantime, we encour-age our legislative body to focus on matters likely to yield higher impact on jobs, public safety and other more actionable work.

As you may know, Gov. Mitch Daniels said last week the U.S. 31 project in Hamilton County will be completed three years ahead of schedule, or by 2015, with the use of contractor financing. This is brilliant! Daniels, exhibiting why we still believe he’s presidential material, said the cost-saving project will be bid in one bundle and be built less expensively. As a result, INDOT intends to bundle remaining construc-tion phases for U.S. 31 in our county into one contract, taking advantage of low construction and financing costs. INDOT would then repay the contractor over seven to 10 years using state and federal transportation resources.

• • •Have you ever noticed how, when faced with

expected revenue shortfalls, our elected officials don’t slow spending, but instead, have no prob-lems requiring taxpayers to wait for tax decreas-es? The latest example: Sen. Luke Kenley, R-No-blesville, expressing concern over a two-month shortfall in expected state revenue, now ques-tions speeding a proposed 10-year phase-out of the state inheritance tax. Of course, House and Senate budget leaders had no problems agreeing to spend about $80 million more in the coming year on full-day kindergarten. Spending never waits, but taxpayers always do.

• • •Now that we’re all preparing for our annual

fleecing on April 17, we’re reminded of that legislative giant, Charlie Rangel. Remember him? You may recall ol’ Charlie (D-N.Y.) didn’t want to bother with those pesky taxes relating to rental income from his villa in the Dominican Republic. After the House Ethics Committee censored him in December 2010, he was re-quired to pay those back taxes. We’ve not heard a word about this, and we’re wondering if Char-lie paid those. Well, Charlie, have you?

Courts correction

Commentary by Terry Anker

From the earliest days, we’re taught not to judge a book by its cover. Mostly, it is very good advice. We cannot assume following the stereotype leads to good judgment. Yet, as a parent of an ever-maturing family, I find appearances do matter. Can we risk allowing our sons and daughters – clearly our most-treasured responsibility – to get in a car with another teenager noticeably tattooed and pierced? Likewise, can we send them off to church camp after reading stories of preda-tory cultish practices, sometimes infecting the once safe harbor? Is it that the question, like all normative valuations, depends wholly on the route used to determine the answer? Or, is it simply a percentage of risk charged against one’s tolerance for a particular eventuality?

If given a perfect amount of information and time, most of us would work to arrive at a thoughtful solution. Simply because a teenage girl has elected to have a tattoo on her neck is

not enough to assume she is reckless in all ar-eas of her life. However, absent the time to as-sess the risk adequately, can we, in good faith, disregard this very public statement? So, does how people look define them? Does the wear-ing of a soul patch make someone a jazz musi-cian or simply follically-enhanced? Does the abundance wrought by augmentation make the woman sporting the amplitude needy or self-assured? Do the corpulent deserve our ire, our sympathy or neither?

Regardless, it does make a difference. As we consider the image we present to the world, shouldn’t we likewise consider the assump-tions inure to such a posture? While it may be wrong to judge a book by its cover, it may be a good starting place.

A piercing predicament

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Well folks, I’m officially pathetic. On what was supposed to be an entertaining getaway with my husband to celebrate my little sister’s 30th, I confirmed what I’d already suspected: I hate crowded bars, loud music and late nights. In other words, I’m old.

We’d been anticipating this trip to Chicago for a while. Everyone was planning to meet up early at my sister’s favorite Michigan State-designated pub, and then hit various other drinking holes as the night pro-gressed. Since I try not to imbibe past the din-ner hour, I was delighted. I could do this!

The odds of me keeping pace with the youn-gins were seriously against me, though, as I slept like poo the night before. Thank God for Doo. He force-fed me coffee, aspirin and a steak sand-wich, and reminded me I birthed four babies. So I headed to the first bar hopped on caffeine and maternal self-confidence. Go elderly!

But by 4 p.m., only one hour into the festivi-ties, I was already fed up with the high-decibel tunage and masses of yuppies crowding my space. I really just wanted to wrap up in my Snuggie and judge people in “Hoarding: Buried Alive.” Doo, on the other hand, was in his ele-ment, yucking it up with everyone he met and

reliving his preparent glory days.But I had come for my sister and was not go-

ing to disappoint. So when my AARP-member mom asked if I wanted to leave and have an early dinner at the stodgy Ralph Lauren Grill, I politely lied through my teeth and proclaimed

my strong desire to keep the evening rolling. I was having fun, damn it! And sure enough, the next thing I knew, I’d been illegally sardined into a

taxi with Doo and five blonde sorority chicks on my way to God knows where. Yay!

Between 7 and 8 p.m., I faked a happy face and pretended like this was the most awesome night of my life, while I watched Doo and everyone else slowly but surely descend into blissful, Red-Bull-and-vodka oblivion. When a 2-foot-long grilled cheese behemoth sent Doo into fits of hysterical laughter, however, I cried, “Uncle!” I hailed a cab, made fast friends with my Pakistani driver and then collapsed into bed alone at 8:30 p.m. In my defense, it was 9:30 p.m. Eastern. Peace out.

Hitting the bar … then the sack

Riverview Hospital announced Dr. Norman Mindrebo has joined Riverview Medical Group. Mindre-bo is a fellow of the American Acad-emy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and is board certified in both orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine.

He is a graduate of Wheaton College and completed his master’s degree in

neuromuscular physiology at Villa-nova University. Mindrebo received his medical degree from the Temple University School of Medicine. He completed his internship at St.Vincent Indianapolis and his orthopaedic surgery residency at the Indiana University Medical Center. Following residency, he was com-missioned as a major in the U.S. Air

Force Medical Corps.

Many young children – particularly those in low-income households –drink too much juice, according to a new survey. More than one-third of parents surveyed, and about half of parents with a yearly household income of less than $30,000, reported their 1- to 5-year-olds drink two or more cups of juice on a typical day. That's twice the amount recommended by the Ameri-can Academy of Pediatrics, which advices kids younger than age 6 to drink just one serving of juice per day. Too much juice puts kids at risk for health conditions, such as childhood obesity and early tooth decay.

DOCTORS NOT TElliNG THE WHOlE STORy? – It’s pretty hard for patients to be part of the decision-making process if they don’t know all the options, but that may be exactly what’s hap-pening, according a new study in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. The study surveyed 685 patients who had surgery for prostate cancer and 472 who had stents for coronary disease. Nine out of 10 patients who received a stent said their physicians didn’t tell them about alternatives. Sixty-four percent of prostate-surgery patients, on the other hand, did discuss surgery alternatives. Researchers aren't saying people made the wrong choice by having the surgery or stenting, but that patients should be given all their options. - Wall Street Journal


insurance Q&A by Andy Warren

Question from Kirsten W. of Westfield: The commercials I’ve seen asking people if they know if they’re covered for a certain situation has got me thinking. How do I prepare for the worst?

Response from Andy Warren:Those commercials have got a lot of people

thinking. Insurance prices have stopped drop-ping and it’s a great time to lock in a solid rate with the best coverage available.

Adding an umbrella policy (also known as a catastrophe policy) is easily the best way to get on track with that goal. An umbrella policy is all about having the peace of mind in knowing your family and assets are protected.

The most common umbrella claim is an auto accident involving multiple injuries and very costly medical bills. The other common claim is an incident on your property that results in injury. Medical and legal costs can eat up the underlying limits of your homeowner, auto, boat or motorcycle policy pretty quickly. Your umbrella policy or your personal assets cover these costs when your normal policy limits are exhausted.

Your independent insurance agent will be able to help you settle on a level of coverage you are comfortable with. Most people should be pretty

comfortable with an umbrella limit of $1 mil-lion, but limits more than $10 million are avail-able if you are looking for superior protection.

I don’t want to say umbrella claims are un-preventable, but they are the type of claims that happen no matter how prepared you are. Some things make a claim more likely, such as having a pool, living on a lake, having a young driver and owning a boat, snowmobile and basically anything fun. Instead of talking about prevention this week, I want to go over a claim scenario to illustrate how an umbrella policy will work.

Claim scenario: The insured’s son was driv-ing his car on a short road trip with a friend, the claimant. The car drifted off the road and into a phone pole when the son fell asleep at the wheel. The passenger was hospitalized for more than a month with broken bones and internal injuries. The hospitalization was followed by some time in a wheelchair, but he was able to walk again after six months of physical thera-py. This claim cost $1,200,000 with $300,000 coming from the auto limits and $900,000 coming from the umbrella limits.

CORRECTiON – In the March 6 edition of Current in No-blesville, Jerry Barr and Moni-ca Peck were given the wrong titles in the picture of the two from the February member-ship luncheon. Barr served as 2011 Noblesville Chamber of Commerce chairman of the board, and Peck now holds that position for 2012.

FAlSE DEAlS AT OUTlET MAllS - Not all outlet mall deals are equal and some aren't deals at all. There is a growing trend to stock outlet centers with branded goods that were made less expensively and exclusively for the outlets. "In some cases, the manufacturers do take shortcuts. They may replace leather with plastic or not have extra stitching," said Tod Marks, a senior project editor with Consumer Reports. For example, though they carry the Gap brand name, the T-shirts tend to have less stitching and a lighter fabric. Jeans might be plainer and could be missing a seam; sweaters may be shorter with cheaper buttons. - www.money.msn.com

BlueSky Technology Partners in Noblesville was one of 70 companies that have been designated a 2012 “Best Place to Work in Indiana” for creating a productive en-vironment in which employees feel valued, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce announced recently. Actual rankings for the companies will be unveiled at a May 3 awards dinner at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in down-town Indianapolis.

BlueSky is also one of 45 honorees of 2012 that are repeat winners from last year.

“BlueSky's success can be directly attributed to the outstanding people we employ. Our guiding principles state BlueSky is dedicated to providing an environment and culture to attract and retain like-minded individuals with a passion for eCommerce, and a yearning for suc-cess,” the company announced on its Web site.

The top companies in the state are determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys. Winners were selected from two categories: small to medium-sized companies of between 15 and 249 U.S. employees (which included BlueSky), and large-sized companies consisting of 250 or more employ-ees nationwide.

“‘Best Places to Work in Indiana’ not only recognizes our state’s outstanding employers, but also sets a high standard for other Hoosier companies by encouraging them to realize the importance of evaluating their own workplace,” said Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brin-egar, a Noblesville resident. “It is clear a positive work

environment makes employees more engaged in their job and in their company, which is a win for the entire business community.”

All companies that participated in the 2012 Best Places to Work program receive an in-depth evaluation identifying strengths and weaknesses according to their employees. In turn, this report can be used in develop-ing or enhancing employee retention and recruitment programs.

For more information on the Indiana Chamber’s Best Places to Work program, and a complete list of honor-ees, visit www.bestplacestoworkIN.com.

INSIDE & OUT In the home

Design by Sue Faulstich

Growing up with five siblings and being second to youngest meant having to wait what felt like an eternity to have my own room. As I write this, memories come flooding back of how exciting it was to finally be able to pick my own paint color and bedspread. The adventure of being involved in grown-up decisions will stick with them and may one day be an incentive to spark his or her in-home projects.

PlanWe have all heard the famous quote, “It

wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.” Whether a simple reorganization or a full-blown remodel, a child’s bedroom makeover needs to be proposed well before any work begins. The preparation phase should include the process of negotiating needs versus wants. If the design team works together to organize a battle plan, chances are good the space will please both pro-prietor and dweller.

Lofty visionsThe top half of a kid’s bedroom is an op-

portunity for many lofty ideas – literally. Often forgotten about, this space could be turned into anything from a simple display area with a high shelf running the entire perimeter of the room, to a custom built hideaway, accessible only by ladder. Always remember to consider the height

of the resident; by making storage spaces not easily reachable by a youngster, you may be cre-ating more work for yourself.

Not just for wallsPaint is an important design element in most

makeovers. It can be used to alter everything from furniture to picture frames. In the plan-ning phase, remember to consider ceilings, base-boards and almost every surface in between as a blank canvas for a brush or roller. A painted surface can be anything from an elaborate mural to a useable chalkboard.

Toys, clothes and bears … oh my!Ever wonder how such a small person can

accumulate so much stuff? I love “stuff” just as much as the next girl, but organization can mean something completely different to an adult than it does a child. With the click of your mouse, it is simple to find tips to help kids organize every-thing from toys to trophies. Be creative in your endeavor to tame clutter, but also be aware of the needs of your particular youngster.

Remodleing by David Decker

Granted, “granite countertops” are the magic words when it comes to a value-enhancing de-scription of a modern-day kitchen.

But when considering the installation of stone countertops in a kitchen improvement project, it’s worth discussing the stone material decision-making process with “counter intelligence” – a countertop professional.

Granite isn’t the only game in town. Quartz routinely ranks a very close second to – and in some cases exceeds – granite in overall satisfac-tion ratings.

This is not to say granite is better than quartz or vice versa. This is to say countertops are a multifaceted decision involving a major expense, and it’s wise to consider price, differences, func-tion and design before committing to either.

Price, surprisingly, is often the smallest dif-ference in this equation. Pricing for good slab granite and almost any kind of quartz is comparable, but there are also high-end and low-end granites that make exact comparisons impossible. It’s best to consult a reputable pro-fessional, see samples, understand what level (quality) of stone you need and get pricing based on the specifics of the individual job.

Granite is a “God-made” material, while quartz is a man-formed surface of crushed quartz and resins. Granite is softer, more porous

and much more brittle than quartz. Granite’s random shading and patterns are part of its beauty, while quartz is engineered in both solid colors and selected patterns.

Functionally, granite absorbs moisture, stains and needs to be resealed periodically. Because of the man-made process, quartz does not stain and requires almost no maintenance. Either material requires professional installation.

Design, always, is in the eye of the beholder. One person may love the predictability of quartz; another may be taken by the natural pat-terns and striations of granite. Hopefully these two people aren’t married.

Either surface provides a beautiful and functional countertop, but don’t take the final decision for granted. Check with the pros, and choose wisely.

Counter intelligence: Taking quartz for granite

iNSTAll A STEEl DOOR – Eas-ily add value to your home with a new front door. You can expect a 129 percent return on your investment with a steel door, according to a “Cost vs. Value Report” from Re-modeling magazine. Fiberglass models, which can cost three times as much, recoup only 65 percent of their cost. Buy a quali-fying energy-efficient door and reap a tax credit of 30 percent of your cost. - www.kiplinger.com

HARDWOOD TREND – We all love the look of hardwood flooring, but most contractors say it has no place in a moist

bathroom. The next best thing may be faux hard-wood porcelain tile. "The tile industry has gotten really creative at manufacturing tiles out of one material to look like another material," says Christine Jurs, owner of the Advance Design Studio in Gilberts, Ill. "A perfect ex-ample is porcelain tile made to look like real hardwood. It

looks fabulous." Available in 2-, 3- and 4-inch planks, the tile is much easier to care for than real wood. And porcelain's natu-ral resistance to moisture makes it an appropriate material for kitchen and bath applications. - www.hgtv.com

On the runway, Dolce and Gabbana welcomed this season with the ever-so-flirty and delicate lace and sheer fabric combinations. The best accessories for these fabrics are its opposite, the strong and bold: big leather bags with buckles, or chunky platform shoes.

As for your hair and makeup to finish the look, keep it clean and effortless. Hair can be pulled back and a slightly messy and your makeup should be light with a soft lip gloss.

Celebrities seem to change their look effortlessly and frequently because of the team of experts who keep them looking great. By investing in a haircut from Salon01, it will seem as if you, too, have your own team of experts on your side. Instead of being fearful, go bold this spring with a fresh cut that will leave you feeling brand-new.

Locks of Love is a public non-profit organiza-tion that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States

and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. They meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. The pros-theses they provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confi-dence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

If your hair is 10 inches or longer from where you plan to cut, to the tip, schedule an appointment with a Salon01 stylist to help you cut and donate your hair and create your new look!

The Skin You’re InSnakeskin is making a comeback on the fashion scene this season! Snakeskin works on purses, belts, shoes, bags, and more. Snakeskin is best worn with solid colors, as it should only be an accent. To avoid a fashion faux paux, don’t try to wear python head to toe. Remember to be playful, as this is a fun print and although it has a bohemian feel to it, it can also express glamour and style.

PlANT SEEDS iN EGGSHEllS FOR TRANSPlANTS? – It's an old-time trick. In the days before your local nursery provided nice peat pots, an eggshell worked nicely. Here's advice from 1880: "Take eggshells cut in half, make two or three small holes in the bottom of each, fill with sifted soil, sink in a box of sand, sow seeds and cover with glass, of course keeping them in the right light. Water only the sand, for they will absorb enough through the holes. In transplanting, break off the shells, leaving the lump of earth intact without the roots being jarred or disturbed." Try this with some cabbage seeds now and you may have good starts for transplanting as soon as you can work the earth. - www.almanac.com

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Spring officially starts next Tuesday.I like that. It means spring break is just

around the corner and longer days are becom-ing familiar. It means everything flowering will start percolating and cheery forsythia will start screaming amazing colors soon. My five ornamental dogwoods are swelling with antici-pation of another glorious showing of pinks and whites. And tulips, daffodils and crocus are pushing through the earth, softening even the crustiest of attitudes.

Spring means fresh-skinned joggers and spandex bikers become the road warriors they hunger to be, and new mommies and daddies can introduce their babies to fresh air and warm sunshine. Dogs are overjoyed they can “do their business” in a relaxed fashion and walkers are everywhere. So are the smiles.

Spring also brings with it a few necessaries to get your landscape beds in shape for the year. Here’s an immediate concern list:

• How’s your mower, Weed Eater and blower? In need of a tune-up or cleaning?

• Ornamental grasses and perennials need cut to the ground NOW. Cut back too late and you risk damaging hidden new growth.

• Resist the urge to prune spring and summer

flowering shrubs. You will likely prune off the reason you love them … their flowers. Wait a few weeks after blooming and then prune.

• Hard prune some woodies that are too … woody.

• Pre-emergent weed control needs applied now through mid-May for confident results. Miss this window and anticipate extra weeding.

• I’m a spring mulch guy and want the beds to look rich through the entire season. My preference is the color-enhanced black or dark brown, premium shredded hardwood mulch. Confirm it is void of pallets and other nasty fillers. Check out www.youtube.com/randysorrell for explanation.

• Walk your house perimeter and inspect gut-ters and downspouts to confirm they are clear and exiting far enough away from the house. Look for loose roof shingles while you are at it, and any siding damage from curious critters seeking shelter in your attic.

Enough talk about chores. Are you ready to enjoy this spring like never before? Me too!

Spring into new season

LIFESTYLE Travel

Commentary by Tracy line

I couldn’t have been happier to get on the plane. Visions of sunny blue skies, sand, surf and fruity cocktails took over my mind. It seemed almost too good to be true. And it was.

That’s right, in the middle of perhaps the mildest winter I’ve ever ex-perienced, Fort Lauderdale was having a cold, rainy spell. The sun lingered behind the clouds, the rain threatened (but did retreat) and the wind whipped those Palm trees into a complete frenzy. You know what? It was a great vacation.

Sometimes it’s not about where you go, but rather, whom you’re with. This was my second foray into a girl-friend getaway, and it proved to be as fun as the first. I wasn’t sure it would happen. You see, there are 10 of us, 10 women with 24 children trying to leave for a weekend? You know how hard that must be.

Luck wasn’t on our side. Husbands travel for work, pregnancies sideline us and life just gets in the way. So, for many, this year’s trip was off the radar. But four of us were determined; we forged ahead and made it happen. I’m so glad we did.

While the weather didn’t cooperate, it couldn’t stop us from having a good time. We walked, shopped, and talked. We shared stories

of family, life, and our hopes for the future. Right there on a cold beach in Florida, my girlfriends and I revealed our most intimate thoughts. Conversations we’d never delve into at home, while children run between us, and life and responsibility beckon, happen naturally at the beach.

We may not have had the warmth of the sun, but we had the warmth of friendship. I’d take that over sun any day of the week. Even so, next year’s destination is definitely going to be a tropical one!

It’s not always about where you go

FOilED By FARE CODES - The roundtrip airfare Kevin McDonald found on Delta Air Lines' Web site came to $386 – not bad. But when he checked Expedia.com, he found the same tickets for $62 less. Delta offers a Best Fare Guarantee that promises if you find a lower price on another site for the exact same Delta itinerary after pur-chasing your ticket on www.delta.com, "then we'd like to make it right." But Delta didn't make it right. Here's the short rejection it sent him: “Our records indicate your reservation is booked in ‘U’ class of service for the departure and ‘L’ class of service for the return. At the time of our research at www.expedia.com, we were able to locate a lower fare of $326.60 per passenger. However, the class of service was ‘T’; for the return flight. Therefore, we respectfully decline your request.” It turns out that by "exact" same itinerary, Delta means everything – including the fare codes – must match. -www.frommers.com

LIFESTYLE Relationships / Health

Relationships by Kristen Boice

Why do we all judge ourselves and others? Do you feel like your own worst critic? Do you find yourself being critical and judgmental of those around you? It plays such a large role in our society and has a powerful impact on how we see ourselves. Being judgmental can keep us stuck in our stuff and closed off to others.

Everyone judges to one degree or another. Typically what we judge in another is what we don’t like about ourselves. I love the saying, “Judgment doesn’t define who they are it defines who you are.”

Many people have a deep fear of being judged because of the pain and rejection that can come with it. For example, you may not speak up be-cause of the fear of what people will think and the sense of not being good enough so you hide in order to not have to face the judgment. If we give it power, the feeling of being judged can cre-ate a sense of low self-worth and insignificance.

There are a few key areas to explore when it comes to judgment. It might be helpful to write down your answers to these questions or journal about it.

1. What is your first memory of experienc-ing judgment? Float back to the first time you remember experiencing judgment. It might have been in school or at home. How did you feel? What was said to you often becomes a tape that plays in your mind for years later and brings up feelings

of inadequacy or not being good enough. Write down the tapes or thoughts you now have because of something someone said or did to you. Remember, we are not our past and we don’t have to give power to what someone said to us in the past.

2. Who and what do you judge? Do you judge yourself, your spouse, other parents, neighbors, friends, co-workers, family members, etc? Dig deep to try and figure out what it is about the other person or yourself that triggers you.

3. What purpose does judgment play in your life? Does it keep you from connecting with others? Do you use it to feel better about yourself and then end up feeling worse?

4. Do you want to change it? In order to make a change, first we need to take ownership and then make an action plan to address it. Work on stopping yourself when you go into judgment mode and try and figure out what is going on within you. Maybe you are feeling insecure and tend to judge more when you are not feel-ing good about yourself.

How would the world look if we judged less and loved more?

RESEARCH SHEDS liGHT ON AUTiSM - Researchers at the Uni-versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studied 92 babies who have older siblings with autism. All underwent a type of MRI scan called diffusion tensor imaging and most were scanned again at the age of 12 and 24 months. They also were given standard behavioral as-sessments for autism when they were 24 months old. After the be-havioral assessment, 28 children met the criteria for autism, 64 did not. When the researchers looked at brain scans, they found differ-ences in the development of white matter fiber tract development – how the neurons in the brain talk to or connect to other parts of the brain – in 12 of 15 major brain connections or pathways. The 6-month brain scans of children who were later diagnosed with autism revealed these white matter pathways were growing faster or were denser compared to those who didn't develop autism. -www.cnn.com
