“ I would say the future of pain care is here. With terrible leg pain I had hardly played any golf for the last 2 years. After getting just one treatment from Dr. Srini, I cannot believe that I completed the entire 18 holes with absolutely no pain ”….. Otis Oliver, after permanent pain relief from peripheral vascular pain. He does not require sur-gery.

“My knees are 100% pain free without surgery after Dr. Srini’s treatment and I feel 10 years younger!”......... Mary Flora (Kokomo, IN)

“ Over three years I have suffered from terrible headaches, I also had low back pain. I was told there was no hope for my pain condition and was put on addic-tive medications that affected my everyday functioning. I am simply delighted that I am pain free after 3 treatments by Dr. Srini who explained the science behind my pain condition. He has proven that my incurable pain condition was indeed curable! ”….. Edwina Foust after receiving permanent pain relief from headaches.

“ I had severe tail bone pain and sciatica after falling on a hard object. For five years I had suffered in severe pain visited many treatment facilities and have spent over $ 60,000 in treatments without any pain relief. I am simply delighted that after just one treatment I am pain free”….. Barbara Wolfe, one year after treatment.

My name is Vicki Hinkle. I have struggled with foot pain for many, many years. I have had treatment and surgery from several very experi-enced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause life style changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shop-ping with friends. I had accepted with sadness; the reality those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonder-ful results in less than a week after my treatment by Dr. Srinivasan. It has now been several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, ac-complished weight loss and enjoy outdoor activities once again. I en-courage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back too!

The views of the columnists in Current In Noblesville are their own and do not necessarily

reflect the positions of this newspaper.

It is our position that local youth sports offer great programs for kids to participate in healthy activities and provide an excellent opportunities for parents to get involved in coaching their kids. These groups are always in need of volunteers; so if time is available, please consider getting involved. If not, we must remember to be supportive of those who do.

Most juvenile athletic associations do background checks on parents aspiring to coach before they are permitted to interact with the children. Good. Yet even as these safeguards are in place and the parent volunteers are well intentioned, it’s important we NOT allow (or require) our coaches to become babysitters (aside from the apparent danger of leaving one›s progeny in the care of a stranger).

At a minimum, parents with children under the age of 13 should stay present for the entirety of all practices and games unless another parent has been prearranged for the caretaking of one›s child or children.

Burdened with any number of already assumed responsibilities, it is en-tirely inappropriate that our coaches should be challenged by what to do if one›s child encounters a complication requiring discipline, health care or worse. Youth sport does not eliminate parental responsibility.

Become a coach Transparent messIt is our position that local government units

must conduct their business with a transparency that will allow us, its constituents, to be fully informed as to ALL matters in which our government is involved. There is no need or justification for secret activities at the local level. Openness allows we voters to bring an informed decision to the polls, where the choice to continue with the cur-rent leadership or change direction must be made.

Too often, the administration of local government entities, either out of intention or oversight, engages in obfuscation. The secrecy and resistance to transparency leads to a sense of general mistrust. Visibility, which brings the functions of the community into the public domain so that they may be known to we citizens, is an absolute. Certainly, local government is not alone in this foible. Anyone hoping to understand the tax code will at best find it unclear.

Even as governments implement byzantine structures seeking optimal outcomes, citizens presume flaws hidden behind the elaborate maze of the edifice. This mistrust often leads to the creation of more unneces-sary complications, as other elected officials attempt to ameliorate the suspected bad action of their fellow leaders.

COMMEntaRY By Kevin Kane

By now, Roy Johnson’s vic-tory over Mary Sue Rowland in the Common Council District 1 primary last week is old news. In this week’s issue, however, I detail how a few risky decisions she made seemingly backfired in her campaign for a third term on the council.

I had the opportunity to talk with her after Election Day, when she’d had time to let every-thing sink in, and I was a bit surprised at her reaction to last Tuesday’s results. She wasn’t up-set. She wasn’t disappointed. To my surprise, she said at one point that she was “truly satisfied,” with the results, which will most likely bring her political career to an end after 2011.

“I’m absolutely fine,” she said. “It’s time to let somebody else worry about it and be account-able and let me go do other things. I let the vot-ers decide because I just couldn’t.”

Rowland filed to run on the day of the dead-line, unable to make up her mind until the last minute. But now that District 1 voters have decided not to bring her back to the council, Rowland said she’s ready to move on and serve

the community in other ways.“I think there are some things that can be

done, and need to be done, from the outside,” she said. “It may be even better than from the inside. I have more thoughts and projects and opportunities than anyone can imagine.”

Rowland served as the city’s mayor for eight years and will have been on the council for the same amount of time when her final term is fin-ished. She said she’s excited about finishing up her final year, working through the city’s next budget and accomplishing as much as possible in the next seven months. After that, however, her political career will likely be over, but she won’t be finished trying to improve the city.

“I have very fond thoughts of the work and the memories. I feel like it’s been a great plea-sure to contribute to my community and I think I have,” she said. “I’m still very passionate about Noblesville. I think it’s a great place, but it can be greater.”

Rowland: Time is right to move on from council

Even though we opposed the passage of the schools referendum in Noblesville, we’re impressed with Supt. Libbie Conner’s plan to put the money to prudent use. She told a gathering of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce last week that plans include con-struction, additions and renovations and that the new Promise Road Elementary School is to come. Programs are being restored, and standardized test scores and graduation rates are up. Things certainly are headed in the right direction, and we like having Conner at the helm. Now, if only we could get all school systems in line with the private sector. Wishful thinking, we suppose.

• • •We happily commend President Barack

Obama for having the guts to issue the or-der to take out Osama bin Laden last week. The precision with which the Navy SEALs carried out the mission – even after the mechanical failure of one of the Blackhawk helicopters – was the result of diligent train-ing and a lot of cooperation from various sectors. With what we assume to be intel-ligence data from bin Laden’s compound in hand, we’re hopeful that additional terrorist strikes on our homeland and interests at the very least will be diminished.

Change? You bet. Keep swelling the government on our backs (and wallets). That’s change. Allow us to ask once again: When will American voters show up at the polls and demand REAL change?

Conner making smart moves with schools


COMMEntaRY By Danielle Wilson

My husband and I rarely fight. I’m a pacifist by nature (the proud daughter of a 1960s Peace Corps volunteer!) and usually avoid all forms of confrontation. But last week we had a doozy, and it reminded me that sometimes a good old-fashioned argument is the only way to hash it out so that you can reconnect with your spouse.

Doo had been away on business for a couple of days. He’d returned just late enough on Wednesday that I couldn’t really catch up with him before bed, and then I didn’t see him again until after work on Thursday. Once kids were home from soccer, we finally had a chance to sit down on the couch and say hello. And by “say hello” I mean pretend we were teenagers and make-out. Nothing R-rated, of course, as all of our kids were in various other rooms of the house. In fact, after maybe two minutes, our 12-year old effectively ended our party with “Mo-om! I’m standing right here! And you told me you would help me with math.” Boo!

A nonverbal agreement to recommence said interrupted activities transpired between Doo and I as I got up to fulfill my homework duties. I spent about 10 minutes going over combina-tions and other confusing probability problems with my son, then nodded to Doo that we were about finished. But just as I stood, our first-grader appeared and asked for help with read-

ing. She had only 20 minutes until her bedtime, so naturally, I sat right back down and started in with “Lizzie’s Stage Fright.” Doo appeared unhappy by this decision, but I ignored him. It was only going to take five minutes to work through the story and questions.

When we were done (like a turkey), I went in search of Doo, ready to finally have some time alone, and found him in the laundry room putting on sneakers. “I’m going to Lowe’s” he sulked. “I’m not in the mood anymore.”

Now, under normal circumstances, I would have fired back a “fine” and stomped off to our room to silently cuss him out and let him handle the bedtime routine by himself as pun-ishment. Then I’d ignore Doo for about 18 hours and finally send him an apologetic email, accepting blame for the entire “incident,” even though I’d know it wasn’t entirely my fault. Anything to ensure harmony. But something

about his attitude this time just honked me off. And I told him so, in no uncertain terms.

“You’re just mad because you feel like I chose the kids over you, and you’re overreacting be-cause you didn’t get your way.”

“Do you not know me at all?” he retaliated as he headed upstairs to get his fleece jacket. “I’m not going to have this fight with you again!” I followed him, determined not to let him steam-roll me into guilt.

We never yelled or screamed at each other, and no objects were thrown, but we had a seri-ously heated “discussion” over wants and needs and our nonexistent telepathic powers, and finally, the importance of accepting responsibil-ity for each of our parts in contributing to tiffs that stem from miscommunication. Afterwards, I felt validated, and my husband felt loved. And the best part? Doo kind of digs it when I get all mad and sassy. So we were able to have our alone time after all!

Turns out, conflict isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially when it’s handled in a healthy and respectful manner. You can clear the air and then enjoy making up. Peace out.

Facing relationship conflicts head on

Mary Sue Rowland’s decision to seek a differ-ent seat on the Common Council will leave her off the council altogether next year.

Rowland, Noblesville’s mayor from 1988 to 1996, has served as an at-large member of the council since 2004. When she filed to run in last week’s primary, however, she chose to run to represent District 1, going head to head with another incumbent, Roy Johnson, in the process.

Long before every precinct had reported last Tuesday, though, it was clear that Rowland would not win the Republican nomination and would not return to the council for a third term. She was defeated by a final tally of 420 to 251.

Rowland may have been more successful if she had attempted to retain her current at-large seat, but she said after filing in February that her deci-sion to seek the District 1 seat was a strategic one.

“Running at-large in the [primary] election had the possibility of either knocking out a good council member, Brian Ayer, or a loss my-self,” Rowland said in February. “At the time of my decision, I had no idea so many good people would run for council at-large.”

After Election Day, Rowland said she didn’t know if running as an at-large candidate again

would have yielded different results. She added that Jeff Zeckel who, along with Ayer, won the at-large nomination, ran a good race, and she isn’t sure that she would have been able to beat Zeckel and the other at-large candidates.

She said she knowingly took a different risk, however, with some of the information she included in her campaign platform. She said in her campaign that some of her top concerns included reinvesting in the city’s historic down-town, tourism and adding more greenery to roadways – issues that she said last week could have turned away some voters, given the current economic climate.

“It is what it is; I am not unhappy with the result,” she said. “I don’t have enough brains to quit. Had I not run, and that was a consider-ation, I would have always wondered.”

Johnson, who has been on the council since 2008 including serving as its president in 2010, credits the strong support of District 1 voters and local leaders and organizations for his victory.

He said in February that he wasn’t surprised about Rowland’s decision to run against him but said he was confident that voters would contin-ue to support him regardless of who was on the ballot with him. Last Tuesday’s numbers proved him right, and despite the fact that he was chal-lenged by another experienced incumbent, he wasn’t surprised by his wide margin of victory. He said he spent many hours going door to door to speak with residents and was confident, from these interactions, that he would receive a great deal of support on Election Day.

“I’m honored that the voters wanted me back in that district seat again,” he said. “I’m very grateful for all the support I had.”

The 2012 Common Council will include at least two new faces, and these may be political newcomers Rick Taylor and Jeff Zeckel.

Longtime council member and District 3 representative Dale Snelling did not seek re-elec-tion, and current at-large councilwoman Mary Sue Rowland filed to run for the District 1 seat, leaving two vacancies on the council. Taylor and Zeckel won the Republican nominations for these two seats, and while they were the only newcomers to win on Election Day, their names

are not new to the community.Taylor is a retired assistant fire chief with

more than 33 years of experience with the No-blesville Fire Dept. He defeated John Elliott and Dale Kenney in the District 3 race.

“I think [the voters] ought to be proud that they had three very capable candidates running to represent District 3,” Taylor said. “I’m thank-ful they chose me and I’m ready to get to work.”

Zeckel and incumbent Brian Ayer won the two GOP at-large nominations over Terry Busby, Andy Corman and Rex Dillinger. Zeckel works for the No-blesville Times and is an active community volunteer who said this was his next step in serving Noblesville.

“I’m just very pleased with the way that the community supported me and I will just do the best job I can,” he said.

Two newcomers win nominations

COMMEntaRY By Krista Bocko

I’m fascinated by dreams. I love to hear and read about dreams. Fantastical dreams, dreams that can be mined for meaning and archetypal symbolism—symbols like snakes and laby-rinths and crones—dreams where you wake up with this incredible story fabricated right out of your own mind with no conscious effort as you’ve slept.

I don’t think I’ve ever really dreamed these great dreams. Back in high school, I remember one of my teachers telling my class that it helps to try to recall dreams right upon waking up, but I rarely stay in bed long enough to try to recall what I may have been dreaming.

I’ve tried keeping a dream journal. It re-mains largely empty. Dreams are supposed to be one of the purest sources of knowledge, but I don’t have dreams in which figures appear or things happen that have deep meaning, like a friend who recently dreamed about her teeth falling out, which apparently means anxiety or concerns about appearance.

My dreams, when I do have and recall them, are pretty literal. A few months ago, I wrote a column titled “Dreaming of a foam-free world.” In my dream, I was back at my alma mater, Purdue, in my old Windsor dining hall. I was excited to be back for a visit until I looked around and was crushed to see polysty-rene plates and cups being used in place of real plates and glasses.

As I’ve said, eco-consciousness permeates everything in my life, even my occasional dreams.

So a few weeks ago I had another dream that stuck with me. Here it is: I was travelling to area schools and libraries and giving talks on why they needed to recycle and how to implement recycling programs in their buildings. Recycling in my dreams, even!

Excuse me? Where are the snakes and labyrinths and

My dream world is the same as reality

crones again? I guess if someone were to analyze my

dreams they’d say I’m an eco-freak in real life and in my dream world. That’s messed up, isn’t it?

I’m a stickler for proper word use. I try to use proper grammar. So listening to the news with me is not always going to yield a discus-sion of politics. It often yields a discussion of the English language.

Just as poor political philosophy can prove fatal, so can a misplaced comma. Take, for exam-ple, the following scenario: a panda walks into a bar, orders a meal, pulls out a gun, shoots the waiter and leaves. This is the image I get when reading the title: Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss. The misplaced comma turns

an innocuous description of a panda’s feed-ing habits into a crime scene.

So, if something so minor can lead to

such a tragic misunder-

stand-ing,

Words without meaningwhat can the use of a wrong word or phrase do?

Clever turns of phrase have always intrigued and delighted me. But lately I’ve been inun-dated with phrases that are not only lacking in

delightfulness, but in meaning as well.

On cable news I heard that “enhanced interro-gation techniques move combatants from a spirit of defiance to a zone of cooperation.” Hmm.

Recently, with regards to Libya’s no-fly zone, we were apparently not at war, but rather engaged in a front-loaded, resource-committed “kinetic military action.” Huh?

George Orwell, the inventor of “newspeak,” wrote an essay in 1946 called Politics and the English Language in which he asserted that modern “prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of meaning, and more and more of phrases tacked together like sections of a prefabricated hen-house.” These phrases have a tendency to lull our brains into sleep mode. They are rhythmic with no real meaning, so talking heads can talk for a long time without saying anything at all.

Clichés are metaphors that have been ren-dered meaningless by overuse. What do you call a cliché that is so overused that the user cannot even explain it? A former student of mine once wrote that his product had “past the mustard.” The original image of a cavalry officer standing beneath the glaring desert sun in predawn light, leather oiled, neatly attired, saber gleaming as his officer declared he had “passed muster” was destroyed by homonyms!

So next time you hear that someone was “down-sized” or you see someone write “tow the line” instead of “toe the line” realize that through carelessness and often through intent, their words are misleading you.

By Darla Kinney Scoles Current in Noblesville

On a recent blustery April afternoon, nearly 100 people gathered in a local farm field to break ground on what will soon become Prom-ise Road Elementary School. Perhaps repre-sentative of the thousands who voted to keep Noblesville Schools growing via referendum, the group watched as six youngsters, themselves representing each grade level of the future school’s inaugural class, turned the ground and thus began the turning of wheels on the newest addition to a burgeoning school system.

Maurice and Mayra Tuesca were there, cheer-ing on their six-year-old daughter Daniella as she donned a hard hat and turned a shovel. Daniella and her older sister Grace will soon both attend the new school - with mixed feel-ings as they leave their beloved Stony Creek Elementary.

Noblesville Schools Superintendent Libbie Conner is confident the family will be just as pleased with their newer, closer school come 2012. All residents, she said, will be getting much for their money when this, Phase 2 - as well as Phase 1 - of the Noblesville Schools im-provement projects is completed.

“We say ‘thank you, thank you, thank you’ to every member of our community for supporting us,” said Conner at the groundbreaking, “This school is much-needed to say the least. You are truly the ones making this possible.”

The construction of Promise Road Elemen-tary School is the second phase of the district’s “Keeping Our Schools Strong” building project. It will provide an elementary school with an enrollment capacity of 700 children in the fast-growing southeast area of the school district.

“The impact of the new school will be felt throughout the school district,” Conner said. “Promise Road, along with the additions at all other elementary schools except Noble Cross-ing, gives us the capacity to keep fifth-grade students in our elementary schools and provides room for growth at the elementary level.”

Conner said there are many educational benefits to keeping fifth-grade students at the elementary schools.

“At the same time, the additional classrooms at the elementary level allow us to use two cur-rent facilities - Noblesville Middle School which now houses grades 7 and 8 and Noblesville Intermediate School which now houses grades 5 and 6 - as middle schools for grades 6-8,” she

added. “Both of those schools now enroll more than 1,400 students. With three grades divided between the two schools, enrollment at each will be closer to the 1,000-1,100 range.”

Also at that groundbreaking was Kevin Hunt, Chief Operating Officer for Shiel-Sexton Com-pany, the construction management contractor charged with seeing that the new school is ready to open its doors for the 2012-13 school year.

Hunt said work on the site is scheduled for this month and will be complete by July 2012.

“The building is going to be a wonderful combination of building a state-of-the-art school while holding the line on construction cost,” Hunt said. “The project is being delivered with a design-build contract, therefore the con-struction cost and design are integral, providing the best value for Noblesville taxpayers.”

The project is being delivered through a de-sign-build contract, which Conner said gives the district the biggest bang for its buck. But while Shiel-Sexton offered the best value for Phase 2, a small committee determined that another company, Performance Services, was the best economic choice for the additions and renova-tions of Phase 1.

“A part of the purpose of Phase 1 is to bring equity to all our schools,” Conner said. All of our schools will have the same handicap acces-sibility, the same technology capabilities, etc., as the new Promise Road school.”

Promise Road will include some state-of-the-art features and amenities, but Conner said its most important feature could be the sense of community it brings to Noblesville, especially in neighborhoods nearby. Conner feels the east side of Noblesville will pull together as Promise Road Elementary gathers them in a way not currently found in that rapidly-growing area. One more thing the Tuesca family can look forward to.

The 40 acres on which Promise Road Elementary School will sit, and the more than seven acres of woods, were once part of the 80 acres making up Reynolds Farm. The land was sold to Noblesville Schools by Mona and Joe Reynolds, who first purchased the property in 1958. The couple donated the entire wooded area.

According to information released before the passing of the district’s facilities referendum, it will cost about $21 million to create Promise Road Elementary and would have cost about $18 to renovate the soon-closing Forest Hill Elementary. Some of the features of the Promise Road school project include:• Seven acres of dedicated woods to the

north of the building for learning and interaction

• Superior site safety with separation of bus and vehicle traffic and a secure vestibule into reception space

•High-durability finishes for building

longevity•Green building design principles related

specifically to natural light, energy efficiency and air control

•Brick exterior with metal roof• State-of-the-art learning environment•Centralized common use spaces• Flexible meeting accommodations via

combined LGI (large group instruction), cafeteria and gym space.

• Single loaded corridors for reduced noise and increased natural lighting

• Enhanced air filtration system for improved air quality

tEEn lIFEBy Jenna larson

As many of you know, prom is a pretty im-portant event to high school students. It’s been portrayed in movies for decades, and for many, it’s been the center of conversations and anxiety attacks for weeks.

The whole month leading up to the event is stressful, to say the least.

The guys have to go get fitted for their tuxes and make sure their vests/ties match their dates’ dresses. Oh, yeah … they have to get dates, too. It weighs heavily on the shoulders of the dudes to summon the courage to ask someone to es-cort them.

Then, they have to get corsages to match their dates’ dresses, too. They’re also in charge of get-ting tickets, making dinner plans and figuring out transportation.

We ladies have some matters to take care of as well. Our first priority is to pick out a dress. And let me tell you, they’re all expensive and complicated to find in a suitable size. Once we have that figured out, we have to stress about plans for pictures, picking out a boutonniere for our dates, getting our nails done, having match-ing shoes/jewelry, make-up, and how we’re ever going to get ready after school in time for the dance.

It can be a bit overwhelming.But when that Friday night rolls around, the

memories are well worth the worries.

This year, after putting up with the constant flash of cameras from everyone’s parents, my boyfriend and I were off to dinner, and then to the hotel in Indianapolis where the event was held this year.

We arrived, all done up, and made our way to the heavily decorated room where the dance floor was. Once more people showed up, the music got a little faster and a little louder, and everyone could finally enjoy themselves. Those were the precious few hours toward which all the anxiety and stress had been directed.

After everyone was worn out and sweaty, a huge group of students headed for Steak ‘n Shake. I don’t think the feeling of being way overdressed so late at night while sipping on a cookie dough milkshake could ever get old.

Like all good things, though, the night had to come to an end. By the early morning, I was exhausted and happy, and so ready to get some sleep.

But I didn’t sleep for very long. The next morning came pretty early. Prom weekend wasn’t over quite yet. But once again, that’s an-other story for another column.

» Skating through B-school – Business ma-jors spend less time preparing for class than do students in any other broad field, according to the most recent National Survey of Student Engagement: nearly half of seniors majoring in business say they spend fewer than 11 hours a week studying outside class. In their new book “Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses,” the sociologists Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa report that business majors had the weakest gains during the first two years of college on a national test of writ-ing and reasoning skills. And when business students take the GMAT, the entry examina-tion for M.B.A. programs, they score lower than students in every other major.

» Easier dieting – People tend to serve themselves much more food when given large bowls and spoons, according to a study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

» May gardening tips – 1. Divide late-summer or autumn-flowering perennials. If necessary, go after phlox and artemisia with a sharp spade or even an ax. If delphini-ums need to be divid-ed, remove and replant the new little plants growing around the outside of the clump. Discard the hard old heart. 2. Scatter crushed eggshells in a thick ring around roses to deter slugs. 3. Sow annual poppies and baby’s breath in borders for midsummer bloom by scatter-ing them between the other plants, covering with fine soil, and tamping down gently.

» Pairing wines and vegetables – Tomatoes, which are acidic, will taste better with a rela-tively acidic red, like a Sangiovese. Pair dark, leafy greens like spinach or chard with light reds such as Gamay; greens make full-bodied reds too astringent. Match mushrooms, len-tils, miso and other earthy ingredients with an earthy red like Pinot Noir. Tannins intensify heat, so for dishes with hot chiles, pour soft, fruity reds like Zinfandel. Protein-rich vegetar-ian dishes (with cheese, for instance) often stand up to tannic reds like Syrah.

According to the Department of Transporta-tion, in 2010 the airlines mishandled or lost more than 2 million bags. That equates to roughly 5,500 bags per day. Statistics show 80 percent of lost bags are returned to the rightful owners within 24 hours, and 99 percent are re-turned within five days. What happens to the other 1 percent? It never gets returned.

Where does it go? Scottsboro, Ala. Scotts-boro is home to the Un-claimed Baggage Center, where nearly all unclaimed luggage from the major airlines is sold to the public.

The Unclaimed Baggage Center was the brainchild of H. Doyle Owens. Founded in 1970, Owens and his wife Sue started their venture as a part-time business, yet their hobby quickly turned into full-time venture. In ’78 the Owens incorporated, and in ’95, they sold the business to their son, Bryan.

This unique store is Alabama’s largest tourist attraction, with more than 800,000 annual visi-tors. The premises take up an entire city block. In addition to aisles and aisles of discounted

merchandise, there’s a concierge desk and an espresso shop.

Visitors come out of curiosity, and to find great deals. “Many of our guests come again and again,” says owner Bryan Owens. “But whether people are visiting for the first time or

are among the regulars, everyone enjoys the sense of adventure in seeing what treasures they can find ...”

While the store turns more than1 million piec-es of merchandise a year, don’t think the airlines are dying to sell your Garfield nightshirt. Un-claimed baggage is typi-

cally kept in the airport terminal for five days before being shipped to a warehouse. It remains here for up to 90 days, where employees work hard to match bags to owners. If they’re unsuc-cessful, the luggage is declared unclaimed, and sold by the pound to Unclaimed Baggage. For information, visit www.unclaimedbaggage.com.

“Blue Valentine” exquisitely nails the joy and heartache of love. Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling give tender, frank performances as a couple enjoying the first bloom of romance, and then spar-ring through its dissolution years down the road.

Writer/director Derek Cianfrance uses an unconventional narrative structure, intercut-ting scenes of young love between Dean and Cindy with a parallel storyline set a decade or so later, as their marriage crumbles beneath them. From the outset, we know their relationship is doomed, which lends a poignancy to its charm-ing, uncertain inception.

The scene where, on their first date, Dean strums on a ukulele and sings in a funny warble while Cindy dances for him is utterly heart-breaking, because we realize this moment repre-

sents the happiest they will ever be together.Observing the cold stalemate of her parents’

marriage, Cindy wonders how she can trust her feelings, since they can fade over time. In the older version of herself, she has reached this point, even if she isn’t quite ready to admit it to Dean, or herself.

A Sundance hit that didn’t light any fires at the box office or awards – Williams was nomi-nated for an Oscar but, inexplicably, Gosling was not – “Blue Valentine” is sad, sweet movie-making for grown-ups.

Movie: B-plus

Pay homage with tamalesCOOKIngBy Clint Smith

My first food-service job was at a Mexican restaurant, so I’m biased when it comes to the aforementioned fare. Often mistaken for Mexican Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo honors the Mexican victory over French troops in Puebla in 1862. Like many facets of the Mexican food-culture, Americans have discovered that Cinco de Mayo is much more than half-priced margaritas.

I asked one of my students, who happens to hail from Hispanic lineage, what his family would prepare as part of a traditional Cinco de Mayo celebration. I had a suspicion about what he might say, and his re-sponse confirmed my guess: tamales.

Aside from the corn husk (discarded before eating), the most distinct feature of tamales is the masa. Func-tioning as a dense and savory shell during the steaming process, masa harina is dried corn that has been finely ground to a flour-like consistency. Both husk and masa underscore the deep-rooted importance of corn, which was a sacred plant to the Aztecs.

Have fun with this, set up an assembly line, and get the kids involved – because that’s another beloved el-emental in the food traditions of Mexico: family.

Clint Smith is an honors graduate of the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, Le Cordon Bleu, and is currently a culinary arts instructor at Central Nine Career Center in Greenwood. To read more about techniques and recipes, visit www.cookingwithclint.com.

Yields about one dozenIngredients•Approximately 12 dry corn husks,

steamed or boiled•As needed, kitchen twine• 2 chicken thighs, 2 chicken drumsticks• 1 teaspoon chili powder•¾ teaspoon ground cumin•½ teaspoon ground cayenne•½ teaspoon dried oregano•½ teaspoon kosher salt•½ teaspoon cracked black pepper• 1 ¼ quart water•As needed, vegetable oil•½ onion, fine chop• 1 clove garlic, minced•½ Serrano chile, minced

Masa (corn dough)• 7 ½ ounces (about 1 ¾ cups) masa harina• 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder• 1 tablespoon kosher salt• 2 ounces lard• 1 – 2 cups reserved chicken liquid

DIrections1. In a high-sided pot, combine chicken

with all spices and water. Bring to boil

and simmer until chicken falls away from bone. Remove chicken, reserve (also reserve cooking liquid, you’ll need it for masa); cool meat thoroughly before shredding. Meanwhile, in sauté pan, heat vegetable oil and sauté onion, garlic and chile. Add to shredded chicken.

2. For dough: In a bowl combine masa with baking powder, salt, and lard. Pour in just enough liquid to form a dough that can be handled. Using pliable corn husks, place a small amount of masa on inside of husk, and spread out to disc shape. Place small amount of chicken mixture on dough, and roll up to a tube shape; secure with twine. Arrange tamales open-end up on a steamer basket in a high-sided pot, and steam for approximately 1 hour (or until masa pulls away from husk).

One of the most common reasons men ap-pear for facial plastic surgery revolves around one issue: They are tired of looking tired.

The classic story I often tell is one of the dif-ferences between being younger and older. In college, you pull an all-nighter, and the next day, looking like you had, proudly proclaim your accomplishment when asked. When you are older, you get eight hours of sleep and go into work, and the first thing someone asks is, “Did you pull an all-nighter?”

Eyelid lifts, or blepharoplasties, can clean up that tired look by removing extra skin and fat from around the eyes that has developed over the years. But blepharoplasty is just one of the growing number of cosmetic procedures for men. Facelifts, hair transplants and stomach and love handle liposuction make up most of the age-fighting operations.

While men were once just a minute frac-tion of any plastic surgeon’s practice, those numbers have grown to represent 15-20 per-cent today. Men of all ages are growing more comfortable with the idea of getting help for their looks. It is simply more acceptable today, another example of the rapidly changing social attitudes sweeping our society.

Another galvanizing drive for men having plastic surgery is job insecurity and staying

competitive. While looking good and appear-ing energetic has always been important, in a tough job market it is important to look as best as one can. Last week, a man came in who was between jobs and wanted to look good for interviews. The competitive nature of men can make them willing to try something they believe will give them an edge in an interview or a potential business transaction.

The Internet has also fueled this male cos-metic surgery interest, specifically Internet dating. More than one man has told me he can’t post a current picture online because of the way he looks. One patient even told me a woman embarrassed him by commenting in an e-mail exchange about his eye bags.

Men fear more than women that undergoing plastic surgery will make them look too drasti-cally changed or give them a “surgical look.” While there are certainly some male celebrities and actors who have that look, they are the exception. In reality, getting rid of those sag-ging jowls and droopy eyelids can definitely make one look less tired and more alert, but the change is almost always subtle and natural.

OK ladies, we are all victims of it at some time: cellulite. In fact, I have been fighting it since I was a teenager. Luckily, after so many years, and after trying things like topical creams, I came to find out we do not need to spend thousands of dollars treating what some of us would con-sider “woman’s No. 1 enemy!” Here is what has worked for me, and I am sure if you are patient and consistent you can get rid of cellulite too!

First of all, cellulite is not only seen on obese people. Skinny people may have it too, and nine out of 10 women will get cellulite, which in itself is lumpy fat just below the skin. According to re-search, this is what can contribute to this problem: little exercise, processed junk food with simple sugars, not enough water consumption, cigarettes, and even stress and hormone imbalance.

Well I refused to be another statistic. I started consuming water more regularly, to the point of almost a gallon a day, cleaned up my diet from simple sugars (pastries, candy, sodas), decreased my consumption of alcohol, exercised at least five times a week, incorporated weight training four times a week to develop lean muscle, and did cardio sessions at least five times a week.

In addition to a good quality multivitamin and pure fish oil, I introduced whey protein into my diet, which contains amino acids. Supple-ments containing amino acids are terrific when it comes to battling cellulite. Amino acids can help to rebuild collagen in the skin, thereby sup-porting the recovery of cellulite.

Caffeine is not the enemy it was once per-ceived to be when it comes to body fat. It has the properties to dissolve fat cells that are helpful in the reduction of cellulite. In fact, when it comes to dealing with cellulite, consuming moderate amounts of caffeine can prove to be helpful.

In considering supplements that are help-ful in dealing with, you will want to keep in mind there are products that combine different ingredients that can work synergistically. These combination products can be particularly effec-tive, such as a thermogenic, which will have a combination of caffeine sources and other herbs. Always consult with your physician before you start taking a new supplement. And good luck!

I can sleep through nearly anything: thunder-storms, children crying, the television’s blaring, people talking – almost anything. Last night I sat up in the bed, alarmed. I thought I heard the subtle creak of a doorknob turning. It sent an alert to my brain, and I sat up like a bunny that had heard a twig snap as something approached. I tilted my ear and listened more intently than ever, concen-trated on what I thought was a doorknob. Half asleep had turned to keenly interested and totally alert. Hearing nothing after a few seconds, I gently laid down and slowly relaxed. I awoke the next morning with only a memory of the event.

Animals are programmed to respond to threats. As I woke in the middle of the night to the apparent sound of a threat, it was obvious I was just a big animal. Thunderstorms wake me at their start; then, when I realize the familiar-ity of the storm or see the forecast that suggests there is no threat, I sleep soundly to the sound of the pouring rain.

If someone enters a room full of quiet people, all eyes turn to that person. Our brains respond to interruptions and immediately assess the situa-tion. If we determine there is no threat, we gently

fade back into a state of relaxation, conservation really. Like a computer, we boot up, get comfort-able, and then hibernate to conserve our en-ergy. It’s efficient, it’s lazy, and it’s the reality.

Our attention is highest at the beginning and end of something. Your life, a business presen-

tation, or simply your child’s recital, the start and finish have the high-est degree of our atten-tion. After that, only the interruptions, or apparent

threats, get our attention revved back up. Pay attention the next time someone talks

to you; you’ll notice the beginning and end are where you key in and what you generally re-member. Even this article, the opening and the close get noticed more. It’s why an opening line, in person or in print, has to grab you. If not, we go to conservation mode faster.

The more you can create beginnings and ends to interrupt your discussions, presentations and proposals, the more attention they will get. La-bor on, and people punch out.

» Are you paying too much? – Auto insur-ance rates are constantly changing. In fact, in certain states and for certain policies, rates have actually dropped significantly in the past 12 months. And, if your record has improved, you may even be eligible for additional reduc-tions. You can be sure, however, that your insurance company isn’t going to call you up and let you know their rates have dropped.

» Revolutionary stock? – NXP Semiconduc-tors (NXPI), which was part of Phillips for more than 50 but had an IPO in mid-2010, has several key ingredients of a revolutionary stock. It has clear technological advantage with near-field communication, which it helped to invent, and now markets its NFC chipsets to many big-name companies. NFC could easily change how people use mobile devices. Additionally, NXP has increased revenue shares by more than 25 percent over the past year.

» Stick with the IRA – The appeal of the Roth IRA has always been that contributions, rather than withdrawals, are taxed. But in many cases, staying put in a traditional IRA will lead to big-ger savings – especially for people five to 10 years away from when they plan to withdraw their money. Here’s why: It can take years of tax-free growth to make up the taxes incurred during the conversion. There’s also less time to pay taxes on this conversion now. Savers who converted from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA last year were able to spread the income from that conversion over 2011 and 2012. But now, all of the income from a conversion made in 2011 (and after) is taxable at once.

Courtney’s KitChen

Courtney’s Kitchen officially reopened in its new downtown Nobles-ville location last Friday.

The restaurant, which serves food made with its owners’ family recipes, previously operated in the American Legion at 1094 Conner Street and has only been in business for a few month. Now, however, Courtney’s Kitchen is in its own, larger space in the building formerly occupied by Dom DiCarlo’s, at 654 Logan Street.

“It’s just an exciting opportunity that we couldn’t pass by,” co-owner Carrie Courtney said. “When Dom DiCarlo’s opened up, we thought that would be our first choice - ever….It’s right on the square and has everything we’re looking for.”

Courtney co-owns and operates the family-owned restaurant with her brother, Cass, who serves as its chef.

The home-style restaurant continued serving its patrons for weeks as it prepared for its upcoming move. Now, the Courtney’s Kitchen signage is up, the move is official and the building at the intersection of Logan Street and 8th Street is seeing its first activity since mid-February.

For more information, find Courtney’s Kitchen on Facebook.

Yes, it is hard to believe, but the St Margaret’s Guild Decorators’ Show House is celebrating its 50th year of in-spiring us with outstanding design and commitment to the community.

It is this servant’s heart that sets this show home apart from the commercial home tours that have speckled the land-scape in recent years. It is the genuine design talent that sets it apart from the “home shows” de jour that have com-mercial motivations.

In the 50 years of captivating us with beautiful homes, the Guild has provided more $10 million in contributions for Wishard Health Services.

Recent programs funded by the donations made possible from the proceeds of the Decora-tors’ Show House and Gardens are the follow-ing: the St. Margaret’s Center for Palliative Care the St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild Mobile Mam-mography Van, the EMBRACE program, and the Haven of Hope.

The 2011 Decorator’s Show House is Ever-green Manor, one of the four original “Man-sions of North Meridian.” This landmark of early-1900s Indianapolis history, located at 4310 N. Meridian, is outfitted in her finest inte-rior design attire for this showing.

This Great Lady will greet you in her foyer

with her personality in full regale. In this space, Matt Harris plays with a punch of unexpected red and exaggerated scale.

Designer Pat Gross shows the visitor this grand structure has a discerning side as well. The main staircase and second-floor landing are home to a needlepoint rug that decorated the West Wing of the White House during the JFK administration.

Deborah Marr and Carolyn Stevens have giv-en nod to the sage side of the Grand Lady with the rich yet inviting furnishings selected for the master’s study. With the warm gray walls and classic art, one realizes that this lady has taste.

Every Great Lady has a soft side, and this one comes through in Kathleen Stevens Artemesia’s

Nest. Described as “a soft and faded feel-ing of hand-painted wall finish reflected in the art and fabrics,” this bath is a gentle retreat that whispers a relaxing invitation.

The guest bath, designed by Catherine Wright, echoes the retreat feel without submitting to fussiness. Benjamin Moore 1600 Timber Wolf is the perfect color that encourages a soft palette to play nicely with sophisticated.

It really is acceptable for a Grand Lady to have a bold side to her personality. J. Baker interiors make such a statement with strong blue and cream stripes that add spark and visual interest. Finally, every Great Lady is resourceful, as dem-

onstrated in the gentleman’s closet that was de-signed by Mary Champlin and Kimberly Ware. With painting and aging, the built-ins have turned from mundane practicality to the look of rich character and warmth.

Touring this Grand Dame of all show homes, the 50th Anniversary Decorator’s Show House, is certain to spark interior design inspiration as well as help the St. Margaret Guild in its com-mitment to making a better community for all.

Happy birthday to the Grand Dame of all show homes!

» Peptides improve makeup – Among the most promising wrinkle fighters, say some dermatologists, are peptides. These small proteins are key actors in collagen synthesis, and they enhance the perfor-mance of antioxidants. These can also boost the performance of your makeup, acting like molecular garbage collectors, absorbing the toxic byproducts of skin’s ordinary functions that otherwise accu-mulate and damage cells. Try Mary Kay Timewise Luminous-Wear Liquid Foun-dation ($20, marykay.com) and Almay Smart Shade Anti-Aging Concealer ($9, drugstores), both with a blend of pep-tides and antioxidants.

» A haircut for balding men – When the recession at your temples meets in the middle and starts its march to the back of your head, you have few options. Because it’s contrasted by your bald scalp, the hair on the sides actually looks thick-er and draws attention to your baldness. Ask your barber to blend from the thin spots to the corners, so there’s a smooth transition from scalp to hair.

I remember my grandparents being so proud of their rose bushes – you know, the ones that had long, thick stems with the sharpest thorns known to man and needed constant attention because of diseases and pruning. It seemed like each year they had so much difficulty growing roses for all of the effort that went into these plants.

But the times have changed, and so have the results! If you want to make a statement in your landscaping beds, you should con-sider the knock-out family of roses. Today the knock-out rose is the most widely sold rose in North America. The knock-out fam-ily of roses can either be a double-pedal or the traditional single-pedal rose. These beautiful roses have been highly requested at our garden center already this year. Supplies are plentiful, and so are the different color options!

The knock-out rose is easy to grow and does not require special care. They are the most disease-resistant roses on the market. They have stunning flower power with a generous bloom cycle (about every 5-6 weeks) that will continue until the first hard frost. All of the knock-out roses are self-cleaning, so there is no need to deadhead. These roses are winter hardy and heat toler-

ant throughout the entire U.S. If unpruned, the knock-out family of ros-

es can easily grow to be more than 3-4’ wide and 3-4’ high. Periodic trims will keep them maintained at a smaller size. A once-a-year cut (to about 12-18” above the ground) in early spring (after the last hard frost) is also recommended for maximum performance.

The knock-out family of roses can fit into any landscape. Plant them individu-ally among shrubs, annuals and perennials in mixed beds and borders. Plant them in large groups to create a colorful hedge. Plant them along a foundation to provide a bright border.

The picture in this article is the bright bubblegum pink version of the Double-Knock Out Rose that is very stable and also unfazed by the heat. Classic shaped flowers from early spring to the first frost. With superior drought tolerance once established, it has the toughness and resistance for which the family is known. A vibrant color that perks up any landscape and is so easy to care for.

Knock-out rose comes with ‘wow’ factor

The serenity of a spa, the look and feel of natural materials, floods of outdoor light and a splash of fun colors all married to 21st century technology.

No, that’s not Club Med; it’s a modern mas-ter bathroom.

“Green” and “eco-friendly” are the definitive current trends in bathroom function and décor, and those words translate into “sanctuary” and diversity of style as never before in home bath-room design.

We all know that large, airy showers are replacing tubs; that twin vanities and vessel sinks (bowls atop counters) are all the rage, on-demand hot water is a terrific energy saver, and tucking the toilet behind a wall – or even better, a door – is a long overdue and marvelous hat-tip to privacy.

What’s truly new are stone and wood soaking tubs, which are lighter than cast-iron tubs, allow the water to retain heat longer, and are a serene alternative to noisy Jacuzzis. All-glass steam rooms are end-of-the-day stress-freeing havens. LED lighting design integrated with natural materials and artistic flourishes transforms a bathroom into a mood room, a mental getaway beyond basic home function.

Larger windows and smarter storage further

modernize a bathroom with showers of sunlight and high-function organization. Rather than a cramped utilitarian cave, today’s bathroom is bathed in outdoor light that elicits the feel and freedom of openness and elbow room. Stunning fixture design – sinks, toilets, faucets, lights, mirrors, racks, shelving, heated floors and more – joining the latest high-function and energy smart technology builds a truly personal feel into this most private of home spaces.

A spa-like master bathroom makeover pres-ents many attractive options – so many, in fact, that the contributions and counsel of a profes-sional bathroom designer will especially help make your home improvement as complete, compelling, inviting and personal as it is unique and peaceful.

Kinder, gentler bathroom design

For many, the genealogical pursuit is a spiritual endeavor. They believe the family link extends beyond the grave and that those who have gone before us are still connected to us as we live out our earthly lives – often even helping us “find” them as we search our family heritage.

A family’s spirituality or faith can indeed be a strong bond that carries through generations and can be noted in the lives of those passed via oral stories or documentation in church records, newspaper articles or journal writings.

Spiritual experiences make for a special kind of family history entry. When uncovered by those seeking stories from the past, the feelings they provoke are often intense.

One way for a person to pass on their sacred heritage is to take time to write down spiritual experiences. When something so profoundly and unmistakably divine happens in life, it is often kept within the heart. That keeps it from having a profound effect on others as well, however.

Sharing the moments when heaven and earth moved to make something happen, or the stars lined up to make the impossible pos-sible, creates a legacy of spirit unlike any other. The beauty of sacred stories is that they not only impact the ones involved in the center of

the event, but also those who may simply read and be moved or inspired by the words written as the miracle unfolded.

The ripple effect of faith throughout a fam-ily’s history can indeed change and make his-tory itself. Or it can simply calm a troubled heart or strengthen the spirit in a home far away in a different time and place.

When such an event plays out in our lives, it is meant to be shared, preserved and rec-ognized for what it is – for us and those who come after.

The family link that is faith

Do you ever feel like you wear a mask to cover how you really feel in order to fit in or be accepted? Do you put on a happy face even when you feel sad? Do you feel like you have to be a certain way in order for people to like you? These feelings can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, depression or loneliness.

Millions of people struggle with being com-pletely themselves. They feel if they are them-selves, people won’t like them. So, a disconnect exists between their outward identity and their true selves. People often desire the freedom to be themselves, yet more often than not, the fear of rejection or disapproval drives them to com-promise their individuality.

People wear masks to cover up parts of them-selves they don’t like. The more masks you wear, the deeper you hide your true self.

There is a popular quote that says, “You are only ever loved to the extent that you are known.” We cannot feel loved for who we really are as long as we mask our true identity. At the same time, we fear if we expose our true selves, we will be rejected. The relationships where we wear lots of masks are often shallow and unful-filling, which creates a frustrating cycle. It leaves us longing for more meaningful connections.

There are many different types of masks people wear. The two most common types are

the following: Masks to cover pain: These are the smiling

masks you wear when everything in your life feels like it’s crashing down around you. Taking this mask off would mean facing and dealing with the hurt and feelings. Because of the fear of failure and rejection, people get uncomfortable and overwhelmed with the thought of remov-ing the mask and exposing what they are really experiencing.

Masks to cover shame: These are masks about low self-confidence or taking pride in material possessions. We hope these things or achievements will give us worth. We think these types of masks serve as a distraction to keep outsiders from looking at what we see as our flaws. Ultimately, wearing masks attempts to hide our feelings of unworthiness and not feeling good enough. It takes deep strength and courage to take these masks off and be who you are. It is completely possible to free yourself. Start by sharing your hopes and dreams with a safe person.

So, what masks are you going to remove to experience freedom and more happiness?

FaItHBy Janna lynas

A sense of relief, mixed with grief, mixed with sadness, mixed with disgust. Actually, it is hard to explain my emotions as I woke up from an accidental late-night nap on my couch to hear the news the world would soon know. Osama Bin Laden had been killed by United States Navy Seals, and the world was rid of a terrorist.

News travels fast. While enjoying dinner out with my children, the televisions in the res-taurant couldn’t give us enough coverage, and my 8-year-old had a ton of questions. Evidently, it was the hot topic on the playground. She knew a little about it, but wanted to know why we saw people celebrating in the streets. When do you ever tell a child it was a good thing to kill a man?

So we talked about it in 8-year-old language, but I hope I did it from a different point of view: God’s. As I told her God created that man and loves his creation, my eldest was quick to point out he doesn’t love what we do. That led to a discussion of what things we do that God

hates; “…haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.” Proverbs 6:17-19.

I didn’t know anyone who died September 11, 2001. I know only a few servicemen who have served our coun-try bravely to keep this war off our shores. I am fiercely proud of our military and yet today feel deep wounds of hurt for fellow Americans who innocently died an evil death. Still, it’s difficult to watch the street scenes

of America as they echo similar memories of a tragic day some 10 years ago – on foreign soil.

Bin Laden did evil in God’s eyes. It seems he was guilty of each of the things we read in Prov-erbs 6. Even so, I don’t celebrate his eternity. I don’t believe God does either.

God doesn’t celebrate death

PEtSBy Rebecca Stevens

We call them owner surrenders at the Humane Society. The ones pet owners can no longer care for or no longer want. I’ve watched thousands come in over the last few years as the econ-omy has turned so many lives upside down. And while financial hardship has certainly been a popular reason to surrender per-sonal pets, there are many other reasons we hear that give me great pause.

It’s a common occurrence to have some-one walk in and tell us they simply must give their up pet up or find them another home … TODAY! They’re moving, they’re having a new baby, they’ve just found out they’re getting divorced and they need us to give them a solution right now or else we’re going to be the proud owner of their dog or cat. And the wonderful staff at our front desk listens to these folks with the utmost patience and tolerance while all the time wanting to ask, “Did you just find out you were moving TODAY?”

What has become painfully obvious in the time I’ve worked at the Humane Society is that pets are often viewed as disposable. Life happens. Times get rough for all of us. We change jobs, we move, we enter and leave new relationships, and yes, we have ba-bies. So why is it some see their pets as part of these life changes while others simply give up?

I don’t know the answers. But what I do know is that the number of people surrendering their pets – especially seniors – is on the rise. And while we understand the validity of many situ-ations folks run into, I will never accept the fact that someone

just bought new carpet (an actual excuse given last week), they’ve magically run out of time in the last two months after purchasing a “pet store” puppy, or that – and yes, this is really true – they’re doing us the huge favor of “donating” their dog or cat to us because “we can give them so much more time.” with one pet? Right.

My goal with this article is not simply to vent. These issues are not new. My goal is to hopefully reach a pet owner who is considering the surrender of their pet for reasons that can be ad-dressed. I hope you read this and plan bet-ter for your upcoming move making sure you can take your pet with you. I want you to realize dogs and cats can coexist with new babies – and that a bump in life’s road doesn’t mean you have to immediately give up your pet. I want you to reach out for help to address behavior issues before post-ing your pet on Craigslist like you’re selling

an old oven. We love every animal in our care and have made a commit-

ment to giving them another chance. But there is no better place for them than with their families. They love you unconditionally. Please do all you can to follow through on the commitment you made the day you brought them home.

Sly is a 4 year old male brindle and white Boxer. Sly is a friendly boy who will gladly wag his nub of a tail when meeting some-one new. He is gentle when taking treats and enjoys going on a jog, but is happy to walk instead. Sly is a big boy and very strong, so he would be best suited in a home with children old enough to handle his size and strength. Like most Boxers, he can tend to be a little bossy at times so he will need a family who will remind him he is not in charge. He doesn’t like to be left alone for long periods of time and has some food allergies, so a patient and understanding home is a must.

Binx is a 1 year old male orange and white tabby DSH. Binx is a very social and outgo-ing boy who loves to be loved. Dur-ing his initial examination by the medical staff, all he did was purr making it clear he enjoyed atten-tion. Binx arrived at the shelter when his previous family lost their home and could no longer keep him. He is grateful to be given the chance to find another loving family and he just hopes he wait will be over soon. Binx is litter box trained and would do well in any home.

HUMORBy Mike Redmond

I see by the Internets, which never tell a lie, that Superman is going to renounce his Ameri-can citizenship so that people in other countries no longer think he is an instrument of Official American Policy (Superhero Division).

This has created something of an uproar in that segment of the population known as “Peo-ple Without Perspective.”

“He should be a strong role model for that depicts the values of AMERICA,” said one Web page philosopher. “If you lived here, would you renounce your citizenship and go live in IRAN??? Or do you live there now???”

Whoa. Perspective, people. Perspective.As a comic book devotee of long standing, and a

Superman fan from way back, let me try to help.First, we would do well to remember that

Superman, son of Jor-El and Lara of the doomed planet Krypton, sent to Earth where he was raised on Earth by Jonathan and Martha Kent, given the name Clark Kent while developing powers and abilities far beyond those of ordinary men, is made up. Not real. Fiction, fantasy, folly.

Superman is a DRAWING.There is no such thing as Superman in the

reality-based world, which some of my fellow comics readers might remember if they ever ventured out of their parents’ basements, but enough about my brother.

People are investing a whole lot of signifi-

cance to a being who exists, as the warning label should say, For Entertainment Purposes Only.

Let us remember that whatever Superman does happens in Comics World, where the laws that govern the universe are frequently suspended if not dispensed with altogether. Death, for example. All the big heroes have been killed at one time or another, but some sort of Cosmic Comics Voodoo always seems to bring them back to life. Nobody seems to stay dead in Comics World. Including Superman.

In most of our lifetimes, Superman has stood for Truth, Justice and the American Way. It was not al-ways so. It was simply “Truth and Justice” until the Superman television show was created during the Red Scare of the 1950s, when “the American Way” was added to the creed – I guess to assure people the only thing red about him was his cape.

So what happens now? Will Superman de-clare himself a true citizen of the world? Will he use his new status to bring understanding to all people? Will he remain in Metropolis and if so, will he have to get a green card?

You’ll have to buy the comics to find out. Which, to add a little more perspective, is al-ways the point in the reality-based world.

Superman headed to Iran?

Note: If your ancestors lived in Indiana by 1840, you may be eligible for regular membership in:

“To Honor the Memory and the Work of the

Pioneers of Indiana”

The Society of Indiana Pioneers For applications/information, call 317-233-6588

www.indianapioneers.com

The Society of Indiana Pioneers is seeking to identify early pioneers to recognize and honor for their efforts in building the State of Indiana. The Society of Indiana Pioneers was formed in 1916, when Indiana celebrated its 100th anniversary of statehood. In preparation for the 200th anniversary of Indiana statehood in 2016, the society seeks to honor special pioneers from each of Indiana’s 92 counties. “We want people from each county to nominate early pioneer founders that helped to carve a new life out of the wilderness and establish the settlements that grew into today’s Indiana cities, towns and farms,” said Co-Presidents Stanley Evans and Carolyn Rose.

This process will enable contributors to nominate ancestors who helped establish the foundations of our state in the 1700s and early 1800s. The task of covering all 92 counties will be completed by 2016. Each year, 15 to 20 counties will be selected for honoring pioneers at each annual meeting. At the Society of Indiana Pioneers’ Centen-nial Celebration in 2016, all 92 county pioneers will be honored.

Nominations are currently being sought for Hamilton County. Any interested party may submit nominations. Nomination forms are available at www.indianapioneers.com

Pioneers selected will be honored at The Society of Indiana Pioneers November 5 , 2011 annual meeting. Nominations must be received by September 15, 2011. Phone inquiries are welcome at any of these numbers (317) 233-6588 or (317) 459-5460 or (765) 490-7202. Emails are welcome at [email protected].

Membership in The Society of Indiana Pioneers is open to anyone who has documentation proving descent from settlers who were living in Indiana by 1840. Associate memberships are available for anyone interested in Indiana history.

Copies of the application form are available at the Indiana State Library or at www.indianapioneers.com.
