COMMUNITY Around townTeens look to create movie series

By robert herrington [email protected]

A group of Westfield High School stu-dents is looking to create a safe alternative for teens on the weekend by starting a movie series. Four of the six WHS Execu-tive Committee students made a presenta-tion to the City Council about the costs and benefits of creating a movies-in-the-park series in conjunction with the West-field Parks Dept.

“Students have expressed a concern that there are not teen-friendly weekend activi-ties in Westfield,” said Tori Hanson. “It’s fun and safe and convenient for everyone.”

Similar movies in the park series are already offered by neighboring Hamilton County communities like Noblesville and Fishers. Ashni Patel said the group would aid the parks department by selecting movies and helping to set up the evening activities. Patel said in a poll conducted by the executive committee of WHS students, 50 percent of students said they were interested and most were willing to pay $1 to $3 for a ticket. Patel added that the organization estimates 100 to 150 students would attend movie showings.

To host the movie series, the group rec-ommended the city purchase a CineBox

Pro System – a 20-foot-by-11-foot inflat-able screen – for $15,999. The CineBox Pro System includes a projector, speakers and all other necessary equipment. It can also proj-ect video game systems and laptops. Jacob Tebbe said the theatrical-quality screen is lightweight and portable and can comfort-ably accommodate 500 viewers. For an additional $2,250 to $3,150, the city can purchase a high-definition or 3-D screen.

“The HD screen can show movies in the day time, which is especially important for

double show times, which were very popu-lar in Fishers,” he said, adding that the cost to rent a similar screen would cost $1,000.

Parks and Recreation Director Melody Jones said a corporate sponsor would be needed to help pay for the licensing costs of movie rentals. Jones said the price per movie would vary (based on title and crowd size), but most run between $200 and $400 with an additional $25 cost for Blu-ray movies, which offer a crisper picture.

On May 10, the Westfield High School fash-ion merchandising class presented its Senior Fashion Show. WHS business teacher Michelle Goudy said 14 girls comprise the class, which includes nine seniors.

“They all had a role in show, either as models or working backstage in the dressing room, ev-erybody had a role,” she said.

Maggie Duxbury served as the project manager for the show, which included 25 seniors as mod-els – 15 girls and 10 boys. The show had four segments – boutique, vintage, formal wear and two special needs seniors in their caps and gowns.

“It just captured the moment,” Goudy said

of the two seniors in caps and gowns. “WHS is one big, happy family.”

Goudy said her class focused on making the show a senior celebration – as “Hollywood” stars greeted guests outside the auditorium with each senior’s name and senior will. The program also had a slide show with at least one picture of each senior.

“They are really trying to make this a special, positive, memorable senior celebration,” Goudy said.

Planning, organizing and running “The Red Carpet”-themed fashion show provided a hands-on experience for her students, which helped teach problem solving and teamwork.

“They use more than curriculum on an as-

signment like this,” said Goudy. “They had huge, grand ideas but learned it was not realis-tic. One of the greatest learning lessons is just because it sounds good in your head it isn’t realistic to implement it.”

In addition to classroom lessons, the stu-dents made an impact in the lives of other teenagers.

“The fash-ion show was a huge hit. The girls raised $400 for the Henryville Senior Class of 2012,” Goudy said.

The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation has announced that Brooke Mix, 22, a native of Westfield, is one of 54 fellows selected for this year’s Woodrow Wil-son Indiana Teaching Fellowship.

A 2012 graduate of Carthage Col-lege majoring in biology, Mix was a college lab assistant, an undergradu-ate researcher in innovative arthritis treatment for dogs, a dean’s list student and a member of the college athletics honor roll. She also starred on the women’s golf team, where she scored a hole-in-one twice.

Mix, like each of this year’s Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellows, will receive a $30,000 stipend to complete a special intensive master’s program at one of the four partner universities – IUPUI, Ball State University, Purdue University or Indiana University. Mix will take her fellow-ship to Purdue University.

Every fellow then makes a commitment to

teach for at least three years in a high-need ur-ban or rural school in the state of Indiana that has committed, along with the partner univer-sity, to provide ongoing professional support and opportunities for continued study.

Today’s 20,000 Woodrow Wilson Fellows include 13 Nobel Laureates, 35 MacArthur “genius grant” recipi-ents, 14 Pulitzer Prize winners, two Fields Medalists in mathematics, and many other noted scholars and lead-ers. In addition, the Woodrow Wil-son Foundation can help fellows find out about requirements for National Board Certification – for which fel-lows will be eligible after three years

of teaching.While a student at Westfield High School,

Mix set records on the golf team for lowest nine-hole and lowest 18-hole scores her senior year. She was also a National Honor Society member, honor student, four-year member of the women’s basketball team and a member of the track and field team her sophomore year.

Kindergarten to fourth grade students at Washington Woods Elementary School received a crash course in the performing arts by attend-ing a world-class venue within the community. The visit also marked the first time a school had toured and performed at the Center for the Per-forming Arts in Carmel.

“The day unfolded perfectly,” Washington Woods Principal Scott Williams said.

Williams said the school set out to visit a part of the community that students have not been to before. He added that the arts are an important part of the development of students, and they help keep students engaged in the classroom.

“It’s a critical part of education,” said Wil-liams. “Students are excited about school when this is part of their school life.”

During Washington Woods’ visit, students visited three different theaters and learned about the different parts of performing arts – The Palladium (sound, lighting and musical per-formances), The Tarkington (theater etiquette and technical elements) and The Studio Theater (props and costumes). One of the highlights of the field trip was musical performances by every student in each grade level.

“That’s an experience they won’t forget,” Wil-liams said.

Cheri Dick, Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre executive director, said actors were paid to come and make presentations to students to provide

them with a better understanding of the arts, especially during a time when districts are cut-ting back on the arts budgets and programs.

“We want them to come back,” she explained. “We hope they realize theater’s magic and it’s really fun.”

Dick said the Center for Performing Arts has a robust junior civic program that had 11,000 children participate last year.

“We’re not training kids to go Broadway, we’re training kids to go to boardrooms and become curious about the arts,” she said. “It’s an integral part of life.”

Dick said national data shows students who are involved in the arts perform 30 to 50 points better on the SAT. She added that it also helps with collaboration, teamwork, poise, spontane-ity and reacting quickly.

School administrators from Carmel, Hamil-ton Southeastern, Guerin, Lafayette Diocese, St. Matthew and Carmel Clay Parks attended the field trip to consider potential future visits by their organizations.

COMMUNITY Goverment

By robert herrington • [email protected]

Westfield Mayor Andy Cook proclaimed May 14 to 18 as Municipal Government Week and this week as National Public Works Week dur-ing the May 14 City Council meeting.

Cook said municipal government is the clos-est form of government to the people and is best able to meet the people’s needs. Municipal Government Week is a time to recognize the critical role played by municipal government in residents’ lives, as well as their key roles in the democratic process in America.

“This week offers an important opportunity to spread the word to all the citizens of Indiana that they can shape and influence this branch of government, which is closest to the people,” he said. “Municipal government provides the essen-tial public services on which Hoosiers rely.”

Because public works services provided in Westfield are an integral part of its citizens’ ev-eryday lives, Cook proclaimed this week as Na-tional Public Works Week. He said the support of an understanding and informed citizenry is vital to the efficient operation of public works systems and programs such as water, sewers, streets and highways, public buildings and solid waste collection. Cook stated that the health,

safety and comfort of this community greatly depend on these facilities and services.

“I call upon all citizens and civic organiza-tions to acquaint themselves with the issues involved in providing our public works and to recognize the contributions which public works officials make every day to our health, safety, comfort and quality of life,” he said.

The Class of 2009 made history during the 118th Annual Westfield High School Gradu-ation Ceremony by being the first high school class to walk barefoot across the stage to accept their diplomas. WHS Principal Stacy McGuire described the action as “one of unity and global awareness” unlike any before at the school. She continued that an act of “showing leadership and compassion will surely change the world.”

Three years later, the 2012 senior class is look-ing to continue the tradition of making a differ-ence in someone’s life.

“We kind of want it to be our send-off,” said Senior Class President Tanner Givens. “We’ve had a great run at Westfield. It’s something we’ll all remember as our last day of being together. Not many people get to help hundreds of kids.”

Graduates walked barefoot in 2009 and 2010 but wore

socks and shoes last year. This year’s senior class wanted to return to bare feet and make WHS recognized for its symbolic action – “A step of unity, together out into the world.”

“We want to make it a Westfield tradition if we can,” Givens said.

The goal of the action was not only to raise awareness with their peers and the Westfield com-

munity, but to also create a last-ing memory of graduation and the impact a small act has on oth-ers. Senior Class Officer Jordyn Hoffman was a close friend of a 2009 graduate who helped plan the initial barefoot walk.

“I went to the graduation and thought it was really cool how they got a lot of people to do it,” said Hoffman. “I’m glad it’s carried on. I was really excited to working with the organization – it’s an awesome cause.”

While researching about Samaritan’s Feet, Hoffman said she was surprised by the number of children who go barefoot every day – nearly 300 million, and more than a million people die each year as a result.

“Samaritan’s Feet has been helping for years and made an impact,” she said. “You don’t think about the number of kids until you see the numbers.”

Senior class officers said they are hoping to collect 50 pairs of shoes at each school by the end of May. Donation boxes for shoes have been placed at each school in the Westfield Washing-ton district, as well as at Westfield’s City Hall and Public Safety Building.

WHS students to show support for global cause at graduation

Students removed their shoes prior to the start of commencement in the classroom hallway as they lined up to enter the gymnasium.

Why are seniors graduating barefoot?

The Class of 2012 said, “Samaritan’s Feet is an organization that strives to reach people in third-world countries and even our own backyards in a simple yet easily forgotten way: by providing them with a pair of shoes. Many people go without shoes on a daily basis, and this alone results in the deaths of more than one million individuals annually due to easily preventable diseases. During the month of May, the Class of 2012 along with the Westfield community is partnering to collect shoes toward this cause. In honor of those who do not have a choice, this year the Class of 2012 has chosen to go barefoot.”

dedicated to changing lives though Shoes of Hope distributions around the world, was started eight years ago by Emmanuel “Manny” Ohonme. A native of Nigeria, Ohonme received his first pair of shoes at the age of 9 from an American missionary. He eventually earned a scholarship to play basketball at Lake Region State College in North Dakota.

Samaritan’s Feet has helped an estimated 3.5 million impoverished children and adults in more than 60 nations by teaching them a bibli-cal story of faith, hope and love, demonstrating those truths in touching them by washing their feet and treating them to a new pair of shoes and socks.

“We’re trying to get the whole city involved this year. We’re hoping to bring a lot in for them,” Hoffman said.

To prepare for the occasion, Hoffman said she

and a few friends are planning to get pedicures for graduation instead of a new pair of shoes.

VIEWS Opinion

It is our position that the Monon Trail is a great component of our community, and we should all get out this summer and use it. We need to be aware, though, that as the weather heats up, we will need to deal with an increase in Monon traffic.

The Monon is open to multiple forms of recreation, which can sometimes lead to everyone moving at a different pace in a limited amount of space. So whether you walk, jog, bike or rollerblade, watch out for others moving at different speeds.

We understand that everyone has their own workout routine and pace to keep. We just ask that you pay attention to where you are going and not mow anyone over. There are a lot of young kids on the trail who might not be paying attention to their sur-roundings or be as steady on their bikes.

As the summer heats up, be sure to sched-ule some time to get out to the Monon. Just be sure, whatever your means of transporta-tion, that you have a good time and allow others to as well.

Westfield could be going to the dogs. Well, not literally, but a dog park from PetSafe is a very real possibility. The company is offering $100,000 for such a facility, but the community must vote - and bear in mind neighboring Noblesville is on the scent, as well. If you would like to see the city in possession of a bark park, you need to:• Visit www.petsafe.net to nominate Westfield.• Complete our city's profile page by finding

available land and civic leader support by June 13.

• Start voting each day on both www.pet-safe.net and the official contest tab on PetSafe's Facebook at www.facebook.com/PetSafeBrand.

We see this as another valuable amenity for our fellow citizens, especially those of the dog-loving variety. A pet-friendly space would be just the ticket for many. As soon as Westfield is nominated, PetSafe will do the heavy lifting in confirming the availability of land and civic leaders' support. You will also be able to vote every day to help our city move forward in the contest. For the best chance to become a finalist, make sure Westfield’s page is complete and be sure you are voting each day on both www.pet-safe.net and www.facebook.com/petsafebrand. This gives Westfield twice as many daily votes! You may encourage friends, family members, civic leaders and community members to vote to bring the dog park to reality. PetSafe says you can even encourage friends and family members who don’t live in Westfield to participate in vot-ing. Finalists will be announced on June 15, and then voting will continue until 11:59:59 p.m. on July 31. Winners will be revealed on Aug. 3. The runner-up city and the city with the high-est percentage of votes by population each will receive $25,000. As they say in Chicago, “Vote early and often.”

Commentary by terry Anker

Every conference and planning session at our places of work, worship and otherwise includes some discussion and consideration of how to make use of (and avoid being used by) the various social media mechanisms handily available on our computers and cell phones. Facebook, Twitter and blogging have all be-come established in our collective lexicon, even as new concepts like Pinterest are emerg-ing. Yet, in spite of our noted technologic sophistication and emerging bourgeois attach-ment to the electronic lifestyle, we remain, at our cores, interested in the simple connection with our fellow travelers.

Those of us who have made the commitment to connect check e-mail and text with an almost addictive attention. Some would feel completely isolated without an hourly review of Facebook and Twitter. Recently, with a group of well-read and interesting folks, I took note that we’d all fallen from conversation and were, instead of exchanging with our tablemates, engaged in assessment of our respective hand-held commu-

nication devices. What was it that we needed to know? Had the world changed so much in the moments since we’d last looked that we felt driven to depart from stimulating conversation to instead retreat to our own private commu-nication? In pointing to the absurdity of our situation, one wise compatriot said, “Facebook birthdays are like elementary school Valentine’s parties.” She was both pithy and entirely cor-rect. Even today, we revel in the fact that people think of us, counting the number of messages from online acquaintances and friends taking note of our birthdays and life passages just like, as grade-schoolers, we’d peer hopefully into our earnestly decorated shoebox longing to find it filled with small love notes – perhaps one from the pretty girl with red hair. In the end, isn’t it normal, perhaps even good, to seek connection and to care if others seek it as well?

Mini-Marathon mistakes Commentary By Danielle wilson

I completed the Mini-Marathon, and surpris-ingly, my experience did not exactly go as planned.

Here were my pre-race goals:• Carbo load the night before with a big spa-

ghetti and garlic bread dinner, hold the wine. Hydrate with as much water as I can stomach.

• Go to bed at 9 to ensure eight hours of sleep.• Eat a bagel, banana and Power Bar for

breakfast, with a half glass of water.• Arrive at the race 30 minutes before the

start for a short warm-up and two bath-room breaks.

• Run slower than pace for the first three miles to allow for course and weather acclimation.

• Run at pace for miles four through 10, downing Gatorade at two mile increments.

• Quickly and efficiently utilize a road-side lavatory should the need to urinate arise.

• Increase speed the last three miles and fin-ish strong with a sprint.

Here’s how the race actually played out:• Ate a box of sodium-laden mac-n-cheese for

dinner along with a Coors Light. Forgot the water, but did remember a Twinkie for dessert.

• Went to bed at 9 but did not fall asleep until 11:30 p.m., thanks to loud children, the cat (who has, I kid you not, learned to open doors) and anxiety from not being in dreamland.

• Opted for coffee and the bagel as we were out of bananas and Power Bars (my teenage son had hoarded them for his soccer game).

• Arrived at the race an hour early with a killer headache, and passed the time jog-ging back and forth to the port-a-lets, then realized I had to pee again mere seconds before the gun signaled the start.

• Ran way too fast the first three miles thanks to adrenaline and peer pressure.

• Realized I was moving too fast and slowed down, but not soon enough to offset the fatigue that set in around mile eight or the cramping caused from consuming too much Gatorade, which I’d religiously slugged back at every mile marker since the second.

• Decided “wetting myself ” wasn’t necessar-ily a bad idea around mile 11.

• Did not finish strong as I struggled to suppress the urge to vomit down the last stretch. And I may have been hallucinating from exhaustion, but I believe a pregnant woman and her grandmother sauntered passed me in the last 50 meters.

Ah, well. I survived. Peace out.


Photo finished Commentary By Dick wolfsie

My wife and I just returned from vacation, a combination land tour and cruise along the Dan-ube. I’d say we had a good time, but my wife says we had a great time. Mary Ellen pays a lot more attention to what’s going on, and I’ve already forgotten a bunch of the beautiful places we saw.

Thank goodness for our camera, which cap-tured our precious moments about 1,200 times. Mary Ellen will now carefully view the photos and put them into neat little digital folders show-ing each city we visited. This is not the filing system I would use. I’d have three folders: Mary Ellen standing in front of a castle smiling; me standing in front of a castle faking a smile; and fi-nally, both of us standing in front of a castle hop-ing this complete stranger could find the zoom button and not run off with our camera.

I got bored with the same pose – standing with our arms around each other – so I began to make grotesque faces at the camera, mimicking the gargoyles on the buildings behind us. When we got home, Mary Ellen told me that those 57 shots were somehow accidentally deleted. I mean, what are the chances?

I recorded memories of the food we enjoyed. In Germany, I took some great sauerkraut pho-tos. I hate to brag about my photographic skills, but in some of my shots you can see the caraway

seeds.I also captured images of all our hotel keys,

something most vacationers neglect to do. One night we had a high-tech remote key that opened the hotel room with a light beam. I mention this because we futzed around with the thingamajig for two hours trying to get it to work, and the next day on the International News Channel, there was a report that garage doors were going up and down all through Europe.

In Munich, we had dinner at the largest beer hall in the world, the Hofbrauhaus. By the end of the evening there were a lot of locals stretched out on the floor and many sitting in strangers’ laps – I must have gotten some great photos, because two men offered to buy all the pictures I took that night.

Finally, I took a close-up of Mary Ellen’s face when she realized the power adapter was broken and she was going to have to go to the cruise gala with soaking wet hair. I couldn’t find that image in any of the files when we got home, either. It must have gotten mixed up with my gargoyle faces.

With the growing popularity of “designer” board games, Tom Anders, Fishers resi-dent and president of locally-based Im-pact! Miniatures, is banking on the suc-cess of his company’s latest board game to provide a unique gaming experience for players everywhere. The game, titled Impact City Roller Derby, is a distinct roller derby board game combining a board with pieces, dice, cards and miniatures.

“My business partner Chris Adkerson regu-larly attends Arch Rival Roller Girl bouts (in St. Louis), and he asked me if anyone had ever made a roller derby board game. As it turns out, only one company had. It was Mattel in 1974, and it was something more like elec-tric football than an actual board game,” said Anders.

The game is designed for two-players and follows the same basic rule structure as actual roller derby. Cards are used in place of special moves like arm whips and fouls, while dice

are utilized to simulate chance events such as falling down at high speeds and blocking the opposing team’s players.

“I wanted to minimize luck and maximize strategy,” said Anders.

Local ties to the sport have been very important for Anders right from the be-ginning of Impact City’s development. Anders and Adkerson have both been longtime fans of the sport and know that most women participate in roller

derby on a volunteer basis, often even paying for their right to play.

“We did a photo shoot with the Naptown Roller Girls. Those pictures are included on all 14 different cards in the deck that comes with the game,” said Anders. “While the decks featuring the Naptown Roller Girls will be the standard, we have set up a program allowing any roller derby team across the country to send us the appropriate photos, and we will produce special decks for their team.”

These special decks will be sold for approxi-mately $15 each with one-third of the proceeds

going directly back to the teams themselves.Impact! Miniatures is relying on Kickstarter,

a popular crowd funding Web site, to raise the total funding behind the game’s produc-tion. While they are partnering with a larger publisher, Impact! is essentially a two-person operation.

“Chris and I still do everything. I do a ma-jority of the day-to-day work. We only have one employee, and it’s my wife,” said Anders.

Anders is hoping to receive $15,000 in funding through the Web site during the next month. Anything above this goal will grant backers special rewards and raise the overall quality of the game.

Impact City’s Kickstarter project launches today.

Impact! Miniatures is looking to bring family fun (and roller derby) to a tabletop near you

to find more information about impact City roller Derby and back the project, visit kickstarter.com and search “impact City.” Becoming a backer at $45 or more will secure you a copy of the game once it is released.

NIGHT & DAY Review

review by rachel Ferry

My recent visit to Mangia! An Italian Restau-rant was filled with authentic northern Italian fare and atmosphere. It was a Monday evening, and there was no need for a reservation. We were seated immediately and greeted by our very friendly server, Michelle.

My husband and I started off splitting an Insalata Mista of crisp lettuce, olives, tomatoes, gorgonzola and delicious emulsified balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was served in a chilled bowl and was perfectly portioned. Some of their other antipasti selections include calamari, mus-sels and bruschetta.

I ordered chicken Marsala. It was not on the menu, but Michelle said everything was made to order, and I could “pretty much order what I was hungry for.” I love a kitchen that is able to properly accommodate their diners.

It passed with flying colors! The subtle taste of Marsala wine in the deliciously balanced sauce covered the thinly breaded chicken breasts and Portobello mushrooms. It was served with a medley of green beans, squash and tomatoes, perfectly tender and seasoned. I chose a side of penne pasta with vodka sauce as my starch. The al dente noodles were topped with a rather mild vodka sauce.

My husband ordered the Filetto Mangia, a signature dish of beef tenderloin that was pre-pared medium rare. It was topped with Porto-bello mushrooms and a red wine tomato sauce. The deep flavors reminded me of a slow-cooked sauce. I imagine it could be described as an Italian stew. The dish was also served with the vegetable medley and garlic mashed potatoes on the side. The mashed potatoes complemented the beef dish very nicely, and not a bite of food was left on his plate.

Mangia translates to “enjoy” in English, as in a salute to tell someone to “enjoy their meal.” On our next visit to Mangia, I am sure we will do just that.

Use heat to tighten skin without surgery Commentary By Brooke tetrault

Tight, firm skin depends on healthy col-lagen and elastin fibers. These fibers lie deep within the dermis and act like small rubber bands holding the skin tight against our body providing the “snap-back” when loose tissue is stretched or pulled. Sun damage, smoking, weight loss and genetics all play a role in the breakdown of this collagen and elastin that re-sults in drooping skin. For decades, surgery was the only option for patients looking for a lift. While surgery often provides immediate, long-lasting results, it can be expensive and risky, and the lengthy recovery can be difficult for those with busy schedules. Also, surgery does not address the quality of skin – it only pulls it taut. Today, often using a combination of dif-ferent noninvasive methods, substantial skin tightening can be achieved without surgery. Non-invasive, no-downtime procedures are becoming more effective and affordable, mak-ing them a popular choice for patients looking to improve their appearance. The most effective no-downtime procedures use radio frequency or infrared heat energy, or a combination of the two, to target loose and sagging tissue on the face, jowls, neck, arms and abdomen. Sublime and Titan are two examples of popular treat-ments utilizing infrared and radio frequency for

skin tightening. These treatments work by heating the tissue under the skin's surface to induce an inflam-matory response, stimulating the existing col-lagen and elastin fibers as well as producing new fibers. Skin looks and feels immediately firmer than before the procedure. The surface of the skin is protected from burns with a cooling de-vice, making the treatment very comfortable. The heated collagen contracts, tightens and continues to remodel over the following three to six months. More than one treatment, spaced about one month apart, is usually needed for best results. Call your licensed, trained medical aesthetics professional to find out which proce-dure is appropriate for your skin type.

DOUGH Business

Commentary by David Cain

We all have unique and different talents. It’s how the world is put together. Everyone has something that makes him or her distinctive. Everyone is a snowflake. Everyone is a thumb-print. Everyone is unique. But, far too often, we lose sight of our purest talents.

It’s a common issue for organizations (and families) to overlook and misunderstand the talents and passions of their group. We all have natural instincts that were built in when we rolled off the line. As such, we all operate differ-ently. We all do things differently. We approach problems from different perspectives, we like different things and we are, well, different.

Understanding differences among people cre-ates better relationships. Using that understand-ing and leveraging it creates more productivity. Here’s the pitfall: you are more inclined to like someone that sees the world the same way as you. Therefore, you are more likely to be attract-ed to those types of people. Sounds all good, but it can lead to a lot of not good. A bunch

of people gather around to solve a problem, each approaching that problem with the same perspective and same talents, and you’ve got a perfect storm – a perfect storm of inaction.

Group a bunch of fact-finder, researcher types and assign them the same problem – they’ll research it to death. Put together a group of action-oriented, catalysts on the problem and they’ll toss around ideas until somebody dies.

It takes a mix, a balance, and that’s hard to assemble since you generally like people just like yourself. You hire people like yourself. You socialize with people like yourself. Face it, you prefer yourself. Maybe greater productivity lies behind the walls erected by your self-preference? Maybe working with someone not like you will lead to more productivity? Maybe you should find out.

Self-preference can be a pitfall

White Summer StyleThis summer, be white hot in this season’s top styles. Wearing white shorts, dresses, jeans, tops, and shoes is the perfect way to stay cool and trendy. For a day look, take your favorite shorts and pair them with a loose flowing white tank. Add turquoise accessories for a burst of color. For an evening look, when the temperature cools a bit, bring out those skinny white jeans and pair them with a bright orange or lemon top. If the occasion calls for something a little more elegant, consider a white dress. Stop in and shop the Salon 01 boutique to find a style that’s perfect for you!

Hot Hair OrnamentsWhen planning out your fashion this summer, don’t just concentrate on your cloth-ing. Accessorizing starts from the top down, and that includes a bold piece for your hair. This season, pick up a headband with any type of ornamentation, a bow, feather or jewels, to make the perfect statement. Small barrettes with rhinestones or bright ribbon can also compliment almost any look. Stop in Salon 01 and check out their latest line of hair fashion accessories to complete your warm weather look!

LIFESTYLE Crafts

Commentary By Ashley Phipps

This is, in my humble opinion, an example of a perfect kid craft. This is something your children can make by them-selves, then play with, and it isn’t even too messy – the perfect kid craft!

This is a great idea to tuck away in the back of your mind for when sum-mer break hits and your kids are “bored” and there is “nothing to do.”

Not only do your kids get to make the play dough, but they also get to play with the play dough. And I sup-pose if they really want to, they can eat the play dough. (Although, I would suggest they wash their hands well before beginning the activity ... but I’m crazy like that.) In any case, it isn’t toxic.

All you will do is hand your child a large marshmallow or two and a spoonful of peanut butter and let them get to work.

Let them mush, squeeze, roll, bend and smush it all together. Their hands will get super

messy and you will wonder what in the world I was thinking. You will think I lied to you and there is no way this is going to work.

Let them continue smushing and mashing and then, after about 5 minutes, something magical will happen.

Their crazy-messy hands will start to become clean.

Yup! Around that point the two items will have mixed together sufficiently and it will turn into a play-dough-like consistency. And their hands will be clean!

Pretty amazing stuff, really!

Ours was a little softer than traditional store-bought play dough, and, well, it is brown. But it is truly the magic of this project that I love!

Happy crafting!

A destination wedding: Is it right for you?Commentary By tracy line

Statistics show and experience tells me that destination weddings are on the rise. It’s not hard to understand why: a wedding in a tropical locale with sun, water and lush green gardens is nothing less than pure romance. Is a destination wedding for you? Read these commonly asked questions and the answers to help you decide. Just about anywhere. Popular spots for weddings include Florida, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Mexico and a variety of Caribbean islands. You can also get married on a cruise ship. A wedding outside of the U.S. will take a bit more planning (see below). Yes, but you’ll need to follow the legal procedures of the country where you will be married. You may need to register your marriage with the local government (usually for a fee). And, there may be additional require-ments such as remaining on the island for a set number of days. Destination weddings can be as small as you and your fiance (with a resort-supplied witness),

or upward of 100 people. The larger the group, the more you’ll want to plan. Many resorts have wedding coordinators available to help you (sometimes for a fee) and travel agents can also assist in coordinating details. Are destination weddings less expensive than a traditional wedding? They can be. However, you need to consider travel expenses, and whether or not your guests can afford to come. Many resorts, Sandals included, offer a free wedding if there are a small number of guests. Free comes with a catch – you may have to book one or more rooms at the resort in return for the wedding. There also may be additional fees for items like flowers and photography.

Green kitchens: A stroke of genius Commentary By David Decker

They say that to lower your golf score, start on the green and improve your putting, because that’s where most wasted strokes happen.

And I say, to improve your home’s overall green profile, start in the kitchen, because that’s where most wasted energy happens.

The U.S. Department of Energy says that 41.5 percent of a home’s energy is consumed by lighting, re-frigeration and cooking. Add in other kitchen energy needs – such as water heating, space heating and cooling, special ventilation, dishwashers, small appliances, ice makers, garbage disposals – and it’s easy to see how savvy energy and environmental impact management creates not just a healthy, efficient and sustainable “green” kitchen, but more folding “green” – i.e., cash – too.

Home improvement professionals provide front-to-back advice on the possibilities and equations for “greening up” an existing kitchen. Certainly, appliances with the “Energy Star” seal are a great place to start, but a truly green kitch-en improvement project has countless subtle components built in.

For example, natural light is good, but if the windows leak air or the skylights leak water, that’s not energy or functionally efficient. Low-flow faucets are good, but how far is the plumbing run

from the water heater to the faucet? Closer is bet-ter. Low energy lights are good, but if you cannot

see, say, to dice an onion with a sharp knife, then the result could leave you in stitches … literally.

Bamboo and cork are water-proof, comfortable and enviro-friendly flooring materials, but they have a premium initial cost. Natu-ral stone countertops are beautiful,

but depending on type and source, some are “greener” than others.

Induction cooking ranges, exterior wall in-sulation, timers on electrical switches, green food waste disposal, built-in recycle systems and many more thoughtful strategies not only make a green kitchen par with the environment, but also a stroke of financial genius.
