By Christine BavenderCurrent in Carmel

From turn-of-the-century cars to classic muscle cars, Carmel is set to be invaded later this week when Artomobilia rumbles into town.

“It’s a double entendre really,” organizer Roger Brummett said. “It suggests these classic and collector cars are truly works of art, and in many cases the artistic bril-liance of some of these cars is just mind boggling. They are rolling pieces of art.”

Brummett said he feels it’s a lost art the way some of the cars were made.

“Especially the pre-World War II cars like the Duesenberg and the Stutz,” he explained. “The cars were handcrafted, the lines are precise. In many cases, these were not done on an assembly line but by hand. The tech-nology that existed in the time those cars were made is certainly primitive compared to the way cars are built and designed today, but they are truly cars of distinction.”

One thing Brummett especially enjoys is watching someone get their first glimpse of what he calls “cars of elegance.”

“It’s not uncommon for people to walk up to some of these cars and have the air come out of their lungs,” he said. “They just stand there and say ‘oh my.’”

The June 14 event is set for noon to 6 p.m. It will be a day-long rolling exhibit of 100 cars, spanning 100 years, according to Brummett.

The privately owned cars on exhibit will range from the pre-World War II cars to Model Ts, muscle cars, race cars, exotic cars, sports cars, domestic cars and classic cars.

“These are cars from around Indiana and the Midwest,” Brummett said. “While this is the first year for the event here in Carmel, we anticipate in time this will grow to be a national event.”

The event is similar to one held each year in downtown Indianapolis on Monument Circle that is connected with the Grand Prix.

“This will be of the same distinction and quality of cars but not as large,” Brummett, who was part of the Indianapolis event, explained. “If the Grand Prix comes back, then that event will also come back.”

Of the modern classics, one car sure to capture atten-tion: the Bugatti Veyron, valued at more than a million dollars.

“There are not many of these in the world and we will have one of them here,” Brummett said.

In total, the cars on exhibit are valued at $50 million. The event is expected to draw 10,000 people.

Celebrities on hand will include Al Unser III and Al Unser, Jr.

The event will close down all of Main Street from Rangeline Road to beyond the Monon Trail. The road will be renamed Tom Wood Boulevard for the day.

Brummett said the benefit to Carmel will be bringing people into the downtown area in hopes of keeping them coming back, “We believe this is a spectacular destination and as the area matures and this becomes an annual event we think it will be a great place to exhibit cars because of the shops and eateries,” Brummett explained. “Most of these events take place on golf courses or private clubs where there isn’t much to do, but this will let people walk up and down the street and see art exhibits, galleries and wonderful diners.”

Brummett encourages everyone to attend the event, which takes place the day before Father’s Day.

“There will be hospitality, beautiful cars, great food and entertainment,” he said. “And it’s a great gift for Dad. What dad doesn’t love cars? And it’s free – it doesn’t get any better than that.”

OUR TAKES

CURRENTOON by Tim Campbell

It is our position that the appar-ent coming resurrection of The Glass Chimney and Deeter’s from the Land of Closed Restaurants is great news for Carmel.

Dieter Puska is said to be near-ing a fruitful end to negotiations with unnamed investors for the 32-year-old icon among Carmel’s upper-end dining establishments. When previous negotiations with Corbin Roudebush, his wife, Janet, and his brother, Jim, failed to materialize in a deal for local ownership, it looked as if the site would be left to decay.

So much about the two restaurants mat-ters deeply to many Central Indiana diners. It is our hope the deal closes without a

hitch. Carmel needs The Glass Chimney and Deeter’s. They’re as much a part of the community’s fabric as anything.

We hear the eateries could reopen as soon as mid-June, but Puska has said that nothing had been cemented as far as a concrete opening night is concerned.

This much, though, is known: The vast majority of the restaurants’ workers will return after being idle for more than a month. The menu, Puska says, will remain unchanged.

And so, it seems, Dieter fi-nally will be able to motor off to go fish-ing, which was his intention all along. He certainly has earned that right.

It is our position that healthy competi-tion within a political nomination process is good for the voters. Case in point – Greg Zoeller and Jon Costas. Both of these men sought their party’s backing to be the statewide candidate for Indiana Attorney General. The presidential contest in the Democratic Party demonstrates that few things have breathed life into the Party more than exciting the voters with a choice of terrific candidates. Obama has said that having com-petition has made him a better candidate. A similar benefit can be said for Indiana Republicans in their slating of Attorney General. The state convention delegates are members of the party faithful, and creating a sense of purpose and invigo-

rating them is good for the voters. As de-picted in the Indiana-focused documentary By the People, the entirety of running politi-cal elections is completely dependant upon

volunteer service by the electorate. A motivated electorate makes elec-tions that much easier, which is good for the voter.

With that said, Indiana Republicans will need to mend fences between the two camps to eliminate a possible distrac-tion factor for Governor Daniels in the fall, similar to what is unfolding on the national

Democratic scene. Candidates and politi-cos alike should remember that free elec-tions, not grudge matches, are some of the rights for which our soldiers fight.

8ANOThER TAKE FROM ThE BACKShOP

Steve Greenberg & Brian Kelly

If you weren’t among the nearly 200 folks on and above the main floor of Carmel City Hall a week ago today, you missed a rare treat with Michael Feinstein’s introduction to the community.

It wasn’t his mastery of the piano or his superior vocal stylings, necessarily. What really gripped us about him is that he portrayed everything but what you might expect of a seasoned superstar. A wide-eyed, congenial Feinstein told the gather-ing, after being introduced by Mayor Jim Brainard, he was happy to be in Carmel and is looking forward to a long and fruit-ful relationship with Central Indiana.

He smiled broadly, he talked to random attendees, he joked with Brainard and the media and he clearly was quite comfort-able in his own skin. Happy-go-lucky comes to mind, actually.

Feinstein was in the spotlight and could have hogged it, but he instead chose to talk about the rising Performing Arts Center, his role in it, why it will be good for the community and how he hopes the community will embrace it.

What Carmel got out of this was well more than additional cachet. Feinstein,

who will bring his collection of Great American Songbook artifacts and me-mentos to the upper level of the PAC, will provide educational opportunities to those interested in learning about the likes and works of George and Ira Gershwin, among others. Of course, and in no way to be undervalued, we also get him at the piano, which is beyond description. His friends, Billy Joel and Elton John among them, will visit and perform.

Of this we are certain: to bring a man with so much soul and ethic to the arts scene here will prove to be a move without compare. We’ll all be enriched beyond measure. He’ll help with fundraising for upgrades to the PAC, and he and the facil-ity will be part of the cultural landscape of Carmel. Forever.

Editor: I was quite upset to see on page 26 in

this week’s newspaper you were promoting the ownership of monkeys as pets, spe-cifically capuchins, marmosets, tamarins and bush babies. These animals deserve expertise in their particular needs, which I’m sure the majority of the general public

has very little. There are various establish-ments that often end up dealing with the results of misguided monkey pet owners and this also only perpetuates the barbaric and illegal trade in taking animals from the wild, so please don’t encourage this.

READER’S VIEW

Much has been said in this newspaper about our community’s investment, commitment and dedica-tion to the arts. Just this

week Carmel announced a very significant addition to the Regional Performing Arts Center with musician Michael Feinstein’s bringing his exten-sive collection of American Songbook memorabilia and artifacts. Moreover, the educa-tional and performance com-ponents of this effort with have a significant and lasting effect for many generations to come. It is a good thing.

At the same time, we also should take great pride in our exemplary sporting tradition. At the high school level, we can be proud of our prowess, sportsman-ship and good standing. Much effort is dedicated to ensuring that student athletes adhere to the highest standards across the board. For that, many are thankful. And kudos to Mark Miles and those behind luring the Super Bowl to central Indiana. Carmel resident Jim Irsay tirelessly worked his plan to ensure that central Indiana will reap the benefit of our invest-ment in infrastructure (read, “giant sta-dium replete with retractable roof”) in a most immediate and tangible way. Thanks to all involved.

Tony Dungy is the kind of person to whom we should all aspire. His work with All Pro Dad (www.allprodad.com) is a model to all involved in professional sports. This is a man who understands the value of celebrity and the obligation to use it wisely. Payton Manning has a children’s hospital, not an arrest record. These guys get it. And now, civic and community leader Jim Morris has been enticed by central Indiana stalwarts, the Simon family, to bring a sense of purpose, duty and humility back to our beleaguered Pacers. Jim will get the job done. He gets it, too. And I believe that he knows how to pass it on.

But perhaps the sport boosters who

mean the most are the tireless moms and dads, grandmas and uncles, older brothers and sisters, and just all-around-good-gals who show up every Saturday morning and Tuesday night to bring sport to the

pee-wee crowd. If you haven’t seen a five-year-old play soccer, you’ve really never been enter-tained. These boys and girls are all about the fun of the game. They learn to kick a ball. They learn to lose with dignity. And maybe most importantly, they learn to win in the same way. They learn that nothing tastes better than a cold ice cream cone after a hot game. Sport brings life lessons in a way that so little else can. Hard work equals improvement. Heart often trumps superior skill. All teams need individuals and all

individuals need teams. What motivates these otherwise sane

people to dedicate a good part (if not all) of their free time to bringing these kids along? The pay is either poor on nonexis-tent. Well-intentioned (if poorly applied) parents are constantly offering advice on why their way-too-short offspring should be placed as the team’s star center. But as a season progresses, the coach watches confidence grow in the budding superstar. Bonds grow and a team forms. Those among us who are dedicated to passing the American sporting tradition to the next generation are serving all of us. Statistics show that kids in sports are healthier both mentally and physically. They are far less likely to drop out of school or commit crimes.

We need to support our coaches. We need to thank the guy standing the blaz-ing sun trying to organize a play while still in the suit he wore to work that day. The desire to serve is admirable to be sure, but the impact on these young lives is immeasurable.

8DISPATChES

Every spring and summer, with the donning of shorts and skirts, I’m forced to evaluate the state of my legs and determine how they fared over the winter. Generally,

I’m pleased. I see a whole lot of paleness but good overall muscle tone. Unfortunately, I also have an extremely large blue vein running down my right calf. It’s not bulging out yet, but it so wants to be. A definite precursor to varicose, or as I like to refer to them, very-gross veins. Awesome. I love getting older!

It’s only a matter of time before I get them, too. My mom and a couple of sisters have them already, and, like all annoying physical defects, varicose veins are hereditary. Yippee! But what are they exactly, and what, if anything, can soccer moms do to prevent and treat them?

According to veinclinics.com, “a varicose vein is a failed vein, the contents of which are stagnant or refluxing. Either way, this blood is out of circulation. The function of your veins is to channel blood back to the heart. The larger veins have valves which direct the flow of blood. When any of these valves fail, blood can accumulate under pressure, engorging and distorting the veins

in your leg. Varicose veins appear as either bulging and rope-like, or small and thread-like. They can result in aching, tired and swollen legs; create a burning, throbbing, or itching sensation; and cause muscle cramps

and a general restlessness in your legs. Varicose veins are a vascular disorder requiring treatment for medical reasons.”

All I know is that they look hor-rible and hurt like a mother. So what can we do to prevent them? Research shows that though vari-cose veins are due in part to hor-monal changes (like those during pregnancy) and age, they can also be caused by prolonged standing or sitting and obesity (very much like their evil cousins, the hemor-rhoids), all of which prevent good circulation in the lower legs. So exercising regularly and maintain-

ing your ideal body weight are key to pre-venting vein disorders. If you’re destined for very-gross veins like me, however, remember to avoid the following: crossing your legs while sitting, restrictive clothing around the waist and thighs, and high-estrogen birth control pills.

Okay, so what can you do once the dreaded disease strikes? Well, in the case of pregnancy-induced varicose veins, your condition should improve after you have the baby and your hormone levels and

body weight return to normal. In other instances, there are fortunately several treatment options available and many are outpatient. The most common is scelerotherapy, where the doctor injects a solution into the vein that causes the vein walls to swell, stick together, and seal shut. This stops the flow of blood and the vein turns into scar tissue, usually fading away in a few weeks. Sounds horrendous, huh? Actually, according to my sister-in-law, the procedure is less painful than it sounds (though not a spa treatment, either).

Other options include endovenous tech-niques, which use a combination of laser and radiofrequency directed into the vein through a catheter to treat deep varicose veins. Surgery is generally reserved for only the big mamma very-grossers. The doctor will actually tie off your veins and then surgically remove them while you are (thankfully) under general anesthesia.

If you’re concerned about your varicose veins or just bothered by their appearance, consult a physician and discuss your treat-ment options. You don’t have to spend your summer in slacks and pantyhose or, like me, desperately trying to hide the blue through spot self-tanning and strategically placed band-aids! Peace out.

8TAMPERED PROPANE TANKS- Meth cooks are

emptying propane tanks and filling them with anhydrous ammonia. After they are

finished with them, they return them to the store. The tanks are then refilled with

propane and bought by customers. Anhydrous ammonia is very corrosive and weakens the structure of the tank. It can be very dangerous when mixed with propane and hooked up to grills. When purchasing or exchanging propane tanks, you should inspect the

propane tank for any blue or greenish residue around the valve areas. If it is

present, you might have a tampered tank. For more details, check out http://www.npga.org.

Carmel High School graduate Emily Leithouser is making the most of her local roots.

She was recently named editor-in-chief of Samford University’s student newspaper – a well-deserved accom-plishment considering her lengthy resume.

Leithouser first became interested in journalism at Clay Middle School, working on the newspaper and year-book staffs. When she entered high school, she took an Introduction to Journalism course. The rest just fell into place.

She rocketed through the newspaper staff at Carmel High, capping her experience as co-editor-in-chief her

senior year. She credits much of her success to her time in Carmel.

“Carmel High School gave me an outstanding foun-dation,” she said. “I was way ahead of all my classmates when I came to Samford.”

She says Samford was the perfect place to continue her path. “I came to visit a friend when she was a freshman, and I fell in love with the school,” she said.

As editor-in-chief of the Samford Crimson, Leithouser hopes to boost the paper’s growing reputation. Until recently, many students and faculty did not take the Crimson seriously, she said. “We had a lot of big stories on campus last semester, and the Crimson did a great job cov-ering them,” she said. “People were excited to pick up the paper. Hopefully we build on that next year.”

Prestige and notoriety appear au-tomatically when Oprah throws her support behind a project. Thirty-seven third graders from Carmel Elementary join an

elite group of children chosen from applicants from all over the United States as Ambassadors for Oprah. O Ambassadors, as they are called, work together to empower young leaders to make a global difference. In this case, our O Ambassadors stayed late after school for almost a year to learn about the plight of kids their own age living in poverty in East Africa. It didn’t take long for the eight and nine year olds to begin asking, “What can we do to help?”

Teachers Ashley Aletto and Stephanie Borlik weren’t sur-prised that the kids began to wonder aloud if a carnival would be cool and how much money they could raise with it? Clear-thinking, level-headed adults would never attempt to dream that a local third-grade carnival could make a difference in a region so vast. But the kids at Carmel Elementary didn’t stop to think it wasn’t possible; they only thought about how gigantic the Carmel’s Big Give Carnaval could be. Of course, support from in-volved parents and guidance from their

teachers helped to reduce the chances of failure. But it was the drive, determina-tion and vision put forth by each student that made the program an overwhelm-ing success. Although the numbers are

not yet final, it looks like just a little over $8,000. The future of Carmel represent-ing us as O Ambassadors are: Kaitlin Billeisen, Elizabeth Borlik, Meghan Burkholder, Nina Caruso, Mallory Davis, Grant Defalque, Emily Evans, Ethan Gonzalez, Justine Greene, Alexis Groce, Ashley Grzeskowiak, Jonathon Hackworth, Claire Haffley, John Hale, Casey Heady, John Hull, Phoebe Kane, Kyra Krall, Emma McLean, Morgan Miller, Maggie O’Scanaill, Jeffrey Oscherwitz,

A lot of young people have gained huge life lessons through Pam Otten over the 32 years she taught at Carmel Elementary School. When Otten battled cancer with her husband and eventu-ally herself, she gained some life lessons of her own. As she is retiring this year, Otten calls Carmel Elementary School her home.

Before teaching at Carmel Elementary School, Otten was a student in the school’s very first class. As life moved on, she came back to the school to teach. Otten taught third grade for 19 years before moving to teach second grade. “I enjoy the children. You can really see when the light bulbs go off, and I really enjoy that,” Otten said.

When Otten’s husband died of cancer, her students knew about the situation. Otten then had to inform her students that she had been diagnosed with cancer. “The students were behind me all the way,” Otten said. “The students had my chemo days memorized. They knew when I would come in not feeling my best, and they helped me do whatever I needed done,” she explained. Her students also helped her overcome the anxiety she felt when she lost her hair. “They would rub my head for luck,” she

said with a smile. Otten found a pleasant release in the smiles of her students; they were also teaching her about life.

In her time at Carmel Elementary School, Otten taught the kids of past students and left her mark on the school system. “Pam Otten is one of the stron-gest women I’ve ever met. . . . She will be missed at Carmel Elementary School,” Kimi Fisher, a second-grade teacher at Carmel Elementary School, said.

Otten now moves on to be a grand-mother and a Susan G. Komen volun-teer. “I hope that every woman can learn how important it is to catch this thing early,” Otten said.

This year’s CarmelFest will be full of events for the whole family, including some new offerings.

One such event will be a performance by the Carmel Brass prior to the fireworks at the reflecting pool near the Veterans Memorial on third Avenue Southwest, just south of City Center Drive.

The final musical performance of CarmelFest will be undertaken by the Carmel Symphony Orchestra. The sym-phony is entering its 33rd year of bringing classical music to the Carmel community. The group also will use this year’s perfor-mance to unveil its new logo to the public.

Elsewhere, the Pedal and Park hours for

this year’s Carmelfest 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on July 3 and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on July 4. The location of the Park and Pedal is at the northwest corner of the Monon Greenway and Gradle Drive, just west of the City Hall Fountain. Anything without a motor will be allowed to park. This is the fourth year for the Pedal and Park. Last year, 729 bikes were accommodated.

The Kids’ Zone will also be returning to CarmelFest with activities including the Rock Climbing Wall and Water Balloon Toss. There will also be plenty of games for kids. Tickets to play the games can be purchased at the ticket tent. Proceeds from the ticket sales will go to cover costs and to charities, primarily non-profit organiza-tions volunteering to staff the games. Kids’ Zone will be open during all CarmelFest hours on July 3, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.

and July 4, from noon until the fireworks start. Log on to www.

MIxED REACTION FOR ECONOMIC STIMULUS: The government’s stimulus payments lifted the May sales of discount retailers, such as Wal-Mart, but the overall impact among retailers was mixed. Wal-Mart reported a gain of 3.9 percent at sales in stores open a year or more, excluding the impact of fuel sales. That was more than double the 1.6 percent same-store gain expected by Thomson Reuters analysts, and it’s more than triple last year’s gain of 1.1 percent for the month. But not all retailers enjoyed rising sales in May. Target reported a decline in same-store sales of 0.7 percent. That was worse than the 0.2 percent decrease projected by Thomson Reuters analysts.

RENTERS REjOICE: Renters may be the biggest winners in the current housing slump. Apartment vacancies are edging up in many areas of the country as frustrated sellers instead try to rent out their homes and condos. That is making it harder for landlords to raise rents. In the toughest markets, apartment owners are even offering lease incentives to snag renters.

REDUCE yOUR CARBON: Environmentally concerned Carmel residents should consider attending the Carmel Low Carbon Diet Workshops on Tuesdays June 10, June 17, July 8, July 22 and August 5. The workshop is a fun, interactive environment where you can learn dozens of strategies to reduce your household’s carbon footprint to save money, energy and the environment. The workshops will be held at the Carmel City Hall Caucus Room.

Remember when you were five years old? Take a trip down memory lane to the stories of your childhood with lessons that relate to today’s digital,

online revolution that you might have missed. Five tips from five-year-olds:

1 The seven dwarfs had it right! They knew that

seven brains are better than one. They had discovered mass collab-oration and leveraged it to their advantage. Many companies are now using experts online all over the globe – for free – to help solve their problems.

2 Game on, Little Pig Three! The third pig knew

how to build a house. If you un-derstand your brand and build it on a strong foundation that will withstand the test of time (and any huffing and puff-ing), you will have a strategy to excel. Use straw and you won’t last.

3 Hey Rapunzel, don’t get stuck in the castle. You can’t make people

cross a moat and battle a fire-breathing dragon to buy your products or service. You have to be accessible and make it simple to work with you.

4 Go three bears-style! The bears made Goldilocks feel welcome and

right at home, even when they weren’t. That’s why your brand has to be built online. That way, it is open even when

you are closed, and guests feel welcome.

5 Remember Red Riding Hood? The wolf dressed

up like grandma and tried all kinds of tricks to capture poor little Red. The wolf was skilled in the art of corporate trickery. Well, it’s time to redefine mar-keting. Be what you are.

The truth is that no one cares if you live happily ever after. Customer loyalty is over, and competitors are ogres that will eat you for lunch. You have to work harder in today’s marketplace to be a company that offers a

remarkable product or service accompanied by standout customer service. That’s the magic potion. And if you aren’t interested in the potion, don’t worry: I’m sure there is a mirror out there somewhere that will tell you exactly what you want to hear.

Type: TraditionalAge: Built in 1996Location: Near 106th Street and Michigan Road.Neighborhood: Village at Weston Place, the lowest priced of three Estridge-built sections; offers a pool, walking path, playground and tennis court.Square footage: 1535Rooms: This three bedroom, two and a half bath home has a master suite with vaulted ceilings, a great room, and formal dining room.Strengths: The location allows you to jump on 421 and shoot down to 465 in no time. The desirable lot on the end of a cul-de-sac has an open and sizable backyard. This is a very kid friendly neighborhood and is within walking distance to your local Starbucks and Marsh. There are three sections, so if you like the community and location, you are able to upgrade within the neighborhood. There is a custom sound system throughout the home.

Challenges: There is no basement for storage, which becomes an issue as the family grows. There is no space for a main floor bedroom or den in this floorplan. Based upon my experience, these two facts are major reasons growing families decide to purchase another home. Although close to nearby shopping and dining, you do have some extra noise and a visual of part of the nearby shopping center from the backyard.

Back in 1997, when I was first getting into the delicatessan business at Broccoli Bill’s, I decided that we needed to have something different. I had experienced Boars Head meats in Florida and knew they were definitely the best I had ever tasted. Unfortunately, after many calls to their main office in New York, I was told there were no distributors in Indiana and wouldn’t be for a long time. Still determined to bring Boars Head to Indiana, I started to import it from across state lines but was told to stop unless I could convince the distributor from Ohio to service us. I called Tom Rigney in Ohio and he agreed to come, but only if I could get him more accounts to make it “worth his while.” I talked to my cousins at O’Malia’s, Joe Husar at Kahn’s and Sid Mauer at Atlas, and they agreed to buy from Tom. As a result, we in Indiana now have the best lunchmeat available. Of course, now Boars Head is in many local markets but I still feel that we are their central Indiana home. At any rate, enjoy these unheard of low prices and thanks for shopping with Broccoli Bill’s, The Local Guy.

Watch for our ad every week in current in carmel.

The other day I was chatting with my close friend Daniel, and the conversation wandered to the topic of cell phones. Having just returned from a business retreat

in French Lick, Ind., he was commenting on some problems he had en route with cellular service. Apparently, between Carmel and French Lick, there are various pockets with little to no signal.

Daniel was having a good time emphatically telling me how irritating it was to try to do business with such spotty cell service. Good connection, poor connection, no connec-tion…Then he said something that made me laugh out loud:

“If I don’t have at least three bars, I get hacked off.”

What a great commentary on our society! Especially us – upper-middle and upper class Carmelites. I say this with the deepest affection and respect because I love Carmel. But I also call it like I see it. We often don’t easily tolerate stuff like this.

I get hacked off when my Internet con-nection is slow. I get hacked off when

people don’t return my emails right away. I get hacked off when I text my kids and they don’t text back immediately. By the way, how did our parents get by? I used to leave home for hours and hours and never

check in. There was no cell phone, no text messaging. I re-cently asked my Mom, “How’d you handle that?” Her reply was classic: “Your Dad and I just figured you show back up eventually.” I wonder if Mom lost her cool every time we could only get two of the three TV channels available to us, or perhaps Dad was mildly an-noyed as he drove a car with no power windows, DVD player or navigation.

My friend Daniel’s com-ment was insightful. It’s human nature to want what we want, the way we want it, when we

want it. But for most of us in Carmel, the quality of our problems is pretty good.

If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”

–Dr. Noel SwansonChances are we talk too much.

Actions with choices speak louder than words. This is es-pecially true when it comes to trying to motivate children. How often have you heard yourself repeating the same request to your children with what looks like an attempt on the part of the children to ignore you? Have you heard yourself say, “how many times do I have to ask you to pick up after yourself?”

Studies show that if we have to ask our children more than twice to do something we’d like them to do, we haven’t spoken their language. Or, at the very least, they are not processing our words. Mostly, we are talking too much with insincere action.

Look at a situation with Billy. Dad comes in the house and gives Billy instruc-tions, expecting him to immediately jump into action. Billy has learned that his dad usually doesn’t mean what he says the first time, so Billy hangs out watching TV be-cause he knows his dad will be back. Enter the Repeating, Threatening Parent. Dad comes back, finds Billy has done nothing, gets furious, takes Billy’s non-compli-

ance as disrespectful, and a confrontation begins with Dad threatening to keep Billy from his soccer game next Saturday. Billy knows that Dad wants to go to the game as much as he does, so he dismisses Dad’s

threats as idle. What Dad is really teaching Billy is that he can ignore the instruction.

If we have to remind our children ten times to pick something up, then we are teaching them to tune us out the first nine times because we’ll just repeat what we said anyway! Instead,

1) Say what you mean and mean what you say;

2) Speak with a firm but quiet voice;

3) Offer controlled choices for the outcome you desire;

4) Follow up with credible consequences.

A Repeating , Threatening Parent raises a repeating, non-compliant child. Use the steps above to discover a more willing child.

Hugs!

To increase your overall health and wellbeing, it is important to maintain a healthy weight. Reaching this healthy weight is a balancing act, and the secret

is learning how to balance your energy in and energy out. Energy in is the cal-ories from the foods and beverages you eat or drink each day, and energy out is the calories you use from your daily physical activity. If you eat fewer calo-ries than you burn, you will lose weight; if you eat more calo-ries than you burn, you will gain weight. In the end eating too much or moving too little will lead to

weight gain. Even if you are eating healthy foods, but too much of them, you will not lose weight. So the answer is yes, calories do matter when you are trying to maintain a healthy weight. A great way to track your progress is to write down what foods and how much you have eaten each day.

Over the years, America’s views on por-tion sizes have increased drastically, and

this trend has led to our overeating. A key to maintaining a healthy weight range is to eat smaller portions. To do this, there are several visual cues to help keep your portion sizes in check. For example: a deck of cards is three ounces of meat, the size of your thumb is approxi-mately one ounce of cheese, and the size of a tennis ball is considered one piece of fruit. When eating out, to avoid eating the large portions they serve you: ask for a take home box at the beginning of the meal or split an entrée with a friend. Overall, a calorie is a calorie no matter the source; however, a healthy diet encompasses all of the food groups and physical activity..

Walking 24-hours on a treadmill is an impressive feat. John Schoenenberger of Farmers Insurance contributed to the March of Dimes by setting up his own personal treadmill at the intersection of Rangeline and Main Street. “When I first mentioned it, I was kind of joking. Then everyone started urging me to do it,” he said.

Schoenenberger started his 24-hour walk on June 2 at 5 p.m. “I walked as long as I could and ended up stopping at 12:30 in the morning. I figured I could take a bit of a rest and then get back to it the next day,” he said. Schoenenberger said he used to run a lot and that this organization is something which gives him the desire to help out in any way he can.

The March of Dimes is a nonprofit organization which helps to improve the health of infants by preventing birth de-fects, premature births and infant mortal-ity. Schoenenberger’s own daughters were born earlier than expected, and he feels a personal connection to families suffering the same situation.

Last year March of Dimes set a goal to make $4 million. They finished last year with $4.2 million. This year the goal was $5 million, and Schoenenberger aimed for $5,000. But he admitted, “If I only come

out here and make $500 , I’m going to be pleased. Being out here is as much about awareness as it is about making money.”

Schoenenberger walked with plenty of fluids and complex carbohydrates to keep his energy level up. He also stocked ba-nanas and his iTunes because, as he said, “music really keeps you focused out here. I’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Police, and The Pretenders,”

The surrounding businesses in the Arts and Design District pitched in what they could. According to Schoenenberger, “some people have a hard time when it comes to donations. Some people can and some can’t. The businesses in the area have been a great with their support.” In a plea to get others to join him in his next treadmill walk for the March of Dimes, Schoenenberger stated, “even if businesses want to sponsor some time for me to walk, or have someone here to walk, we’re looking to get other people involved. This whole thing is not about me. I’m just here to do what I can to help raise awareness and hopefully some money.”

OBESITy LEVELS OFF: After a quarter century of increases, obesity prevalence has not measurably increased in the past few years, but levels are still high - at 34 percent of U.S. adults ages 20 and older. Obesity rates have increased during the past 25 years. Among men, there was an increase in obesity prevalence between 1999 and 2006. However, there was no significant change in obesity prevalence between 2003-2004 and 2005-2006 for either men or women. Are you obese? Ask your doctor if you have excessive accumulation of body fat. Then, follow his or her advice to rid yourself of it, which more than likely would include a nutrition-and-exercise plan.

ABOUT THOSE CRAVINgS: There’s a reason you have potato chips on the brain in the late afternoon rather than at 8 a.m. After a long day, you’re fatigued and suffering from low blood sugar — meaning you can’t muster the emotional energy to overcome your yearning. If you’re truly hungry, have a healthy, filling snack to raise your blood sugar to normal levels. Then grab some ammunition against mindless snacking: Pop an Altoid to perk yourself up. Inhaling a peppermint scent helps give you the oomph you need to sidestep afternoon munchies.

By Louis Calli, Wine Director of Vine & Table gourmet market

Recently a friend of mine joined me at a large industry tasting, and was quite enthralled by all of our “Geek Speak,” as he so eloquently put it. He couldn’t believe all of the code words and verbal shorthand attached to wine evaluation. It occurred to me that this also happens at a lot of the public tastings I host. People know what they detect, but are unsure how to verbal-ize it. Below are a few common terms used to describe a wine’s characteristics and exactly what they mean.

Hot – If a wine is described as “hot,” it generally means the alcohol level is extremely prevalent on both the nose and the palate, sometimes even a bit overpower-ing. Higher alcohol wines such as big Zinfandels and Australian Shiraz can exhibit this.

Legs – When you swirl a glass of wine, the thickness of the wine that sticks to the inside of the bell and runs down the glass are a wine’s legs. Legs are based upon the Marangoni effect, the fact that alcohol evaporates faster than water. The alcohol goes up the side of the glass as it evaporates, but since there is a film of water on top, it is pushed up in an arch. Eventually gravity wins, the water’s surface tension is broken, and down runs the water, in tears. While a good indicator of a wine’s alcohol content, it isn’t very reliable as a measure of quality.

Terroir – This is probably singularly the most over-used term in wine. It can be looselytrans-

late as “a sense of place.” When someone remarks that a wine has good terroir ex-pression, they are saying it is a good exam-ple of the characteristics of its geographic location. For example: Oakville cabernets tend to be a but more voluptuous in fruit than Rutherford cabs due to the soil type and elevation.

Bear in mind that entire books have been written on this subject, but these few should get you started!

Cin Cin!


You will scarcely find any liquor on earth whose history, complexity and rar-ity is rivaled by that of the world’s great Scotch Whiskys. From heathery, honey gold Highlands to the robust, intense and smoky Islays, there is truly something singular and mysterious about the Scottish born spir-it. Like wine however it can be an intimidating subject to the novice. With so many choices in age, pro-ducers, cask style, location etc. it can be difficult to dissect. So where do you begin?

First, there are two primary types of scotch: Blended Scotch whisky and Single Malt whisky. Blended Scotch is a blend of single malt and grain whiskies, usually from two or more distilleries. Single Malt whisky is a spirit comprising of 100% malted barley from a single distillery. The latter tend to be more complex and are distinctly different depending on the region they hail from.

Scotch is produced in six separate geo-graphically defined regions:

1. Highlands – These tend to be a little sweeter and more heathery than other re-gions. Some examples are Oban, Dalmore and Dalwhinnie.

2. Speyside – On the north coast of the Highland region, it contains the largest number of distilleries despite being less than half the size of the Highland region. These whiskies are some of the sweetest found in Scotland.

3. Lowland – These whiskies tend to be light, fruity and dry. Only three distill-eries remain in production in this area.

4. Campbeltown – A small peninsula on the west coast that was once home to thirty two distilleries, sadly only two remain. Medium bodied whiskies with a salty tang similar to some island malts.

5. Islands – These whiskies vary in style and taste but are influenced by their surroundings. The area

that is covered is quite diverse to include Jura, Mull, Orkney, Ar-ran and Skye.

6. Islay – Aregion in its own right and often considered the holy land for many whisky lov-ers. Islay whiskies for the most part tend to be big, robust and full of flavors including peat, saltiness, seaweed and smoke.

On all single malt bottles you will see a number signifying the amount of years

it has aged. As a scotch ages it lessens in volume and alcohol content (the alcohol that evaporates each year is known as the “angel’s share”). Typically, scotch will mel-low greatly with time, which is why you see price increase as age increases. Scotch aging takes place in all types of barrels (or “casks”). Sherry casks impart a hint of sweetness and a darker hue to the whiskey, while port casks can add a nutty character-istic and stronger aroma.

Hopefully I’ve given you enough of a primer to begin exploring the amazing world of Single Malt Scotch. We have over thirty scotches open to taste at Vine and Table, as well as close to 200 on our shelves. Some come on in and see us for a bit of the drink! Cheers!

Sauvignon Blanc, 2006 What a nice wine. It’s so dry, acidically crisp, and so balanced, it puts many more expensive California Sauvignon Blancs to shame. There’s no oak in this screwtopped wine, nothing to muck up the pure, fresh citrus and fig flavors.List: $13.99 V&T: $9.99

Pinot Blanc, 2006A dry white wine from the cool appellations of San Louis Obispo. Here’s a Pinot Blanc that shows real varietal character. It’s marked by peach, mango and white pepper flavors boosted by the high natural acidity of its appellation, and is frankly a luscious, absolutely dry wine.List: $18.99 V&T: $13.99

Eccelstone, 2006A blend of six varieties, but it’s not a simple wine made from the leftovers that some wineries use for blends. Instead, it’s crisp and fruity, rich in Muscat orange, Riesling flowers, Pinot Gris citrus, Viognier tropical fruit and Pinot Blanc peach. One percent Albariño seems to add to the acidity.List: $39.99 V&T: $33.99

this summer, keep an eye out for some super-soft, destructed denim. Who knows? maybe you already have the perfect pair of jeans unfortunately assigned to only painting and cleaning days. too short? cut them off — but not too far above the knee. splattered with paint or bleach spots? Who cares?

accessories and leather sandals.

Every car is a work of art, according to Carmel Artomobilia organizer Andrew Lee. But some artists see a vehicle and raise it one better: a work of car art.

That’s fine art about cars, for the uninitiated. If you’re among those who don’t know much about the visual arts but love automotive design, you’ll learn a lot visiting with the painters, sculptors and mixed-media artists participating in Artomobilia on Saturday. [See cover story for event details.]

Many of the artists exhibiting their car-themed works of art didn’t start out as collectible car lovers. For example, Deanna Morae and David Sipe, who create mixed-media collages using contemporary pho-tographs and historical advertisements created when today’s collectible cars were new, followed a circuitous path to discover their true calling in car art.

“One day some years ago, I took part in an Allotropy event, after which someone else recommended I display with Primary Colours, which led to an Oranje [art and music exposition],” Morae said, mention-ing several Downtown Indianapolis art

venues popular with contemporary artists. “That eventually resulted in my creating and printing some car-themed works of art during the Concours d’Elegance at Monument Circle in 2004.”

Morae sold only a few pieces at the Concours and felt discouraged, without realizing that just around the corner lay her big creative breakthrough. Through the Concours, Morae met Lee, who was impressed with her work. Lee eventu-ally recommended her to a friend, which brought on a commission to create some original works of art for a car collector using historical automobile advertisements relating to the Tucker sedan – and also

started her in a new creative direction.Four years later, Morae and Sipe often

use car ads as a visual spark for original works of photography and collage, explor-ing a largely untapped resource of vintage car images in ad copy and re-imagining those images for modern car enthusiasts.

“If I’d gone to a psychic four years ago and she’d said ‘Your future is in car art,’ I’d have said she was crazy.” Morae said. “Who knew?”

Yet now she is exhibiting her collages at Artomobilia along with motorsport-inspired artists like Tom Butters. Not far away, painters Burton Morris and Leonardo Hildalgo are showing Pop art-in-spired works of Ferrari- and GTO-themed art at Evan Lurie Gallery, too.

Morae and Sipe will be joined by up to a dozen other local artists in the Artomobilia exhibition space (tentatively planned for 130 W. Main St.), celebrating the art and design of the automobile. Stop by to see how the unexpected images will enhance your appreciation of the 100 or so collectible cars on display in the Carmel Arts & Design District this Saturday.

Hours: Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11

a.m. – 10 p.m.

Kevin Rider, the owner of Ye Olde Library/Woody’s Place, started his restaurant because of Carmel’s history with the old library. “Everyone came here to listen to the story teller lady when it was the library, and then ev-eryone came in to get married when it was city hall. Everyone in town identi-fies with the building,” Rider said. Ye Olde Library/Woody’s Place creates a dual atmosphere of a nice restaurant and a local pub. The specials change every day, but they always have beef, pork, chicken, fish and pasta dishes. Rider said he has met some of his closest friends as owner and appreci-ates that his customers also start life-long connections by coming to the restaurant.

Where he likes to eat: There’s an old saying for independent restaurant owners: friends don’t let friends eat at chains. I like to eat at Bub’s.

What he likes to eat at Bub’s: I go there for the Mahi Mahi Burger.

What he likes about Bub’s: It’s in the Arts and Design District, and I enjoy being loyal to my area.

SALVATION FOR INDECISIVE gOLFERS: Golf launched its new I-MIX drivers this month, allowing enterprising duffers everywhere to swap out specific heads and shafts according to course or weather conditions or just to impress their cronies. The heads are attached to the shaft using a custom torque wrench that provides an audible click and a visual indicator suggesting when it’s safe to let the big dog bite. Two different club heads and more than 70 shafts provide enough combination options (more than 1600) for every weekend warrior to tee up with a unique combination every Sunday for nearly 30 years.

CAN’T REMEMBER COMBINATIONS? Wordlocks are the first combination locks to allow you to set your combination using words rather than numbers. If you can’t remember a number sequence, these are for you. With a variety of products from padlocks (great for lockers, toolboxes, etc.), bike locks and TSA recognized luggage locks, you’ll never need to remember a number combination again. You probably have an old lock at home right now which is totally useless because, darn it, you can’t remember the combination. Wordlocks are $9.99 on Amazon.com.

In spite of all of the advancements in digital cameras, having the ability to make adjustments to your images can make a world of difference in your photo quality.

Everything from red-eye cor-rection to cropping or tilting images can be common needs for even the most experienced digital photographers.

Adobe’s Photoshop is one of the ultimate tools for manipu-lating images, but it really is a professional tool and is priced like one at $649. A more con-sumer-focused version is called Photoshop Elements and sells for much less: $99.

Photoshop Elements is a pretty powerful package, so if this is more than a casual interest, it may be worth the money and time that it takes to get up to speed on something with a lot of options. You can download trial versions of any of Adobe’s software products at www.adobe.com/downloads.

A fairly powerful free alternative for photo manipulation is a program called IrfanView (written by a Bosnian by the name of Irfan Skiljan who takes dona-tions; go to www.irfanview.com for more information), which includes features that appear in Photoshop, such as blur

and sharpen. It also supports many of Photoshop’s filters and has a whole host of available plug-ins to extend the feature set.

A newer batch of image editing tools has sprung up in the form of online services. Online image editing eliminates the need to install any software on your computer and could be a better solution for those who want to work from multiple computers.

One of the most power-ful online editing options is FotoFlexer (www.fotoflexer.com). In addition to the usual tools, you can add animation, cut a person out from a back-ground, use their unique “smart resizing” tool or morph two images together.

FotoFlexer also supports layers, so you can perform more sophis-ticated tasks with multiple images, much like you can in Photoshop. My only com-plaint with this free service is their hokey banner ads.

This is one of the best options for some-one looking for free, easy and powerful image editing.

Pocket printer: The Polaroid Pogo pocket printer prints small, 2” x 3” prints with sticker backs that are small enough to look good even with the resolution provided by most phone cameras. Not only that, the Pogo is wireless, inkless and weighs only 8 oz. Using Bluetooth, you can print directly from your cell phone. The Pogo prints in full color in about 60 seconds. The printer is inkless because it uses Zink photo paper which is covered in heat-activated crystals. Unlike the Polaroid photos of old, which were prone to smearing, Zink photos are waterproof, tear-proof and smear-proof.

The great banquet of the Holy Spirit, the source of our spiritual nutrition, exists in our very real and palpable relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Things that enhance that re-lationship – the Bible, church, humility, service, prayer (the list is long) – feed our faith and both deepen and strengthen our commitment to walking the joyous, but often difficult, steps of the true Christian life.

What steps?Just take the examples of

Christ in the Bible. That’s the most accurate picture of what a walk with God is supposed to look like. We all want the reception with palm leaves, but it’s that walk to the cross that ultimately defines our faith. We need nutrition for that walk.

I’m not sure we’re going to need nu-trition in Heaven – or in Hell, for that matter. Nutrition seems to be the stuff of this life, not the next. The Bible does not reveal a precisely recognizable nature of how the perfection of our eternal relation-ship with God works (“No eye has seen …” 1 Corinthians 2:9), but there is no hint that it continues to be, on either our part or God’s, a work in progress.

At that point it’s a done deal.Between the Bible, Christian traditions

and my faith, I have no lingering doubts that God has the eternity thing all figured out. My hunch is that he saves that part of

the mystery for the end because – duh – it’s the best part.

But here and now is when developing that relationship provides the spiritual nutrition for our walk, both through the imperfections of our own lives in this fallen world, and for the hope we find in the glimmers of our potential for goodness in a beautiful world God created for us.

If we are having difficulty being certain of our relationship with God, we should look at the elemental components of how we build relationships with each

other: • we nourish relationships with love and

grace and trust,• we choke relationships with sin and fear

and guilt.It seems obvious which is the more

nourishing three-course communion meal.

Bob Walters ([email protected]), who has been putting on weight lately, neither ignores sin nor makes it the center of his spiritual life.

Bates had taken a train trip to Colorado Springs, Colorado, to teach a short summer school session at Colorado College, and several of the sights on her trip inspired her and found their way into her poem. The poem first was published two years later in The Congregationalist, to commemorate the Fourth of July, and the music was added in 1910, adapted from an earlier work by Samuel A. Ward.

Hip dysplasia is a degenerative joint disease typically found in large-breed dogs. It may affect one or both hip joints. As a type of osteoarthritis, symptoms of hip dysplasia include pain which results in a limited flexion and extension of the hind legs, an abnormal bunny-hopping gait, impaired mobility and a reduced activ-ity level in middle-aged and senior dogs. However, severe dysplasia can produce joint pain after vigorous exercise in pup-pies as young as five months.

In a normal hip joint, a ball and socket joint reinforced by ligaments and cush-ioned with cartilage joins the hip to the dog’s body. The ball is the head of the hind leg, known as the head of the femur. The socket is the receiving concave surface on the pelvis known as the acetabulum. This anatomical structure provides both stabil-ity and mobility in the joint for running, jumping and moving between sitting and standing. In a dysplastic joint, there is a significant laxity in the supporting structures of the ligaments and connective tissues that increases during development. Over time, the articular surfaces of the hip and pelvis lose contact with each other resulting in subluxation, instability and pain, which noticeably affect the dog’s daily function.

Although researchers disagree to what extent, genetics do play a part in the de-velopment of hip dysplasia. Accelerated growth and weight gain in puppies from the age of three to ten months may in-crease the risk of hip dysplasia, particularly in large dogs. Therefore, ask your vet to

recommend both the amount and type of food you should feed your puppy. Obesity will put more stress on an already lax joint, so weight management is critical to grow-ing dogs susceptible to joint degeneration. Exercise is important to not only manage weight, but also to develop a large mass in the muscles supporting the hips. Walking, running and swimming are preferred over jumping activities that expose the hip joint to excessive shearing and compression forces. Daily exercise is more important than the weekend warrior approach, which subjects the dog to increased activity only on the weekends and tends to be more in-flammatory than therapeutic to the joint.

Treatment of hip dysplasia may include the following:

· Weight Management· Daily Exercise· Medications and Nutritional Support· Massage and Physical Therapy· Surgery

In additional to weight management and exercise, your veterinarian may also recommend medications and nutritional support in the form non-steroidal anti-in-flammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Rimadyl or Deramaxx, glucosamine chondroitin or injectable hyaluronic acid. Massage and physical therapy can also help reduce pain, increase circulation and increase joint range of motion to improve your dog’s joint function and quality of life. Surgical procedures including a total hip replace-ment or a hip-tightening triple pelvic os-teotomy (TPO) may be indicated in some cases of hip dysplasia. Consult your veteri-narian to discuss the benefits and risks of each option to develop the best treatment plan for your dog.

HEAT ExHAUSTION AND PETS- Signs of heat exhaustion are excessive panting, anxiousness, dry gums and reddened skin (most easily seen on the ears). The signs of heat stroke are lethargy, wobbly walking and loss of consciousness. If either of these occur, cool the pet right away, and as always, get him to the veterinarian. Put the animal in a shaded or air conditioned area and wet the body with cool (not cold) water. Rubbing isopropyl alcohol on the belly and fanning the area will help dissipate the heat. If a pet is suffering from heat stroke, don’t try to give water. Get him to the vet immediately.

WHEELCHAIRS FOR yOUR ANIMAL- Two-wheel carts can support a dog’s midsection with a padded saddle and are secured with a shoulder yoke and chest strap. Most dogs use rear-wheel carts to compensate for lame hind legs, though a growing number of front-wheel carts are being ordered for animals with front-leg problems. Most dog carts start around $250 and can exceed $500, based on the size of the dog. The cost of wheelchairs for other animals can vary depending on the type and size of animal.

The concept behind holistic health care is that the body should be viewed as a whole structure and not regarded as just a collection of individual parts. All aspects of a disorder should be considered in the planning and implementation of a treat-ment regime as opposed to treating only the apparent clinical signs themselves.

For example, a dog that suffers from chronic skin irritations, ear infections or one that chews incessantly at his feet should not just be treated with steroids, antibiotics or topical applications. The cause should be determined and addressed. Foot chewing and chronic ear infections are classic signs of food allergies in dogs. Often, a simple change in diet combined with support for the immune system may help the problem within days.

Viewing the body as an inseparable structure and treating the cause of disease allows that body, which is fundamentally sound, to return itself to normal.

This promotes a healthful whole body, whose systems work in harmony. The result is increased resistance to disease, relief from pain, and an enhanced state of general well being.

Dick WolfsieHumor

Believe it or not, I remember very distinctly the first TV dinner I ever ate. I also remem-ber my mother and grand-mother questioning this new-

fangled product and wondering if my dad would eat it or just use it as grounds for divorce.

My mom was a good cook back in the ’50s, so the bar was set pretty high for Swanson’s. My dad barely tolerated the fried chicken entrée. The idea of trying to make fried food yummy by reheating it in an oven was as far-fetched as a man landing on the moon, which was still about 15 years away.

This all brings me to this past weekend when my wife headed to Columbus, Ohio, for her college reunion, leaving me with my 20-year-old son, home from col-lege for the summer.

The fridge was empty with two mouths to feed. I told Brett he could go to the su-permarket and pick out any of his favorite foods for the week as long as he brought back at least one thing green so I could report to his mother that we had eaten healthy food in her absence.

He and I began unpacking the grocery bags when he returned. There was the

usual fare for a kid in college: Powerade, ramen noodles, frozen pizza, ice cream and some kind of high-fiber health bread without preservatives. All that with a good multi-vitamin and a quart of V-8 before

bedtime and he would meet all the minimum daily require-ments. As for something green, I figured out why he bought that bread: it would be the perfect shade of emerald by the time Mary Ellen got home.

Then I saw it. Was I dream-ing? At the bargain price of $4.79 was a box containing — are you sitting down — two frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

“BRETT, what is this?”“Dad, you look like you’ve

seen a ghost.”“No, but something equally

frightening and hard to explain: two frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Why would you waste your money — sorry, my money — on that?”

“The same reason you and Mom buy frozen chicken tarragon with asparagus and hollandaise or veal scallopini with a glazed vegetable medley and shiitake mushrooms. Convenience, Dad, conve-nience. Time is money. That reminds me, you owe me $120.00 for the food. Say,

you look annoyed.”“My blood pressure is going up.”“You can thank your poor eating habits

through the years for that, Dad. My PBJ is low in saturated fat, with no choles-terol and very little sodium. Not so, the Stouffer’s lasagna you pig out on. Want a bite?”

Did I dare? It was in a very attractive shape, like a tiny flying saucer. And no

crust.“Hmm, that is good…I mean really

good…but why can’t you make these yourself?”

“Dad, I know you have lost some con-fidence in the quality of education in this country, but don’t include the PhDs in food science as part of your broad criti-cism. A great deal of research went into creating the perfect combination of jam, peanut butter and bread.”

Now, I’m hooked on these stupid things but I have to hide them in the downstairs freezer behind the Healthy Choice frozen dinners. If my wife finds out I have been spending $4.79 on two frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, she may never microwave anything good for me again.

feel a little twinge of guilt every time I see a gas station advertising regular at the low, low price of $3.99.9. Or more.

It might be my fault.Last winter, you

see, I made some summer travel plans. I consulted websites. I got books from AAA. I MapQuested until my computer developed repeti-tive stress injuries. And when the dust settled, I settled, too -- on a motor trip to the east coast; a motorcycle ride on what’s left of Route 66; maybe a hop over to Kansas City for some barbecue, or a jaunt over to Gettysburg to tour the battle-field, or even a run down to Memphis to see what was going on at Graceland, thankyuhveramuch.

But – and you knew there was a but coming, didn’t you? – I had failed to take into account a wise old saying: “If you want to make God laugh, make plans.”

Well, evidently, I really cracked Him up. Gas prices shot to $4, making gasoline almost as expensive as bottled water, and there went my summer travel plans. And then the laughter boomed down from the heavens.

Oh, well. They say travel is broadening, and I’m broad enough already, right? So I guess I’ll just have to make summer plans that keep me a little closer to home. I think a lot of us are going to do that – stay home to watch the grass grow, mostly be-cause it’s too bleepin’ expensive to run the lawn mower.

I thought about spending the summer just sitting around the house watching television, except for the times I’m sitting around the yard reading comic books. Then I remembered that I did this one already: the summer between third and fourth grades. Also last year.

Now it’s true that my house could use a little work – a few dabs of paint here and there, a couple of shakes that need re-placed, that sort of thing – but you know, it’s nothing that can’t wait until Fall. Of 2009.

As you might have guessed, I am not one of those people who looks upon summer as an opportunity to get a lot accomplished. I guess I’m still in school mode: you accomplish what you must in the fall, winter and spring so that you can have the summer to goof off a little. That’s the theory, anyway. Truth be told, I never got all that much accomplished in the fall, winter and spring, either. I’ve always

Watch thE GRassGRoW; you can’taFFoRd to cut it

believed that goofing off, when done prop-erly, is a year-round pursuit.

Seriously, though (well, sort of ), I do think there’s something to be said for the stay-at-home (or goofing-off, if you prefer) summer. We’ve all been through summers that were full of Things To Do, Places To Go and People To See, with every space on the calendar filled in with a trip or a project or day camp or summer school.

And what happens? You get to the end of summer and you’ve been so busy that you need another vacation to rest up from the one you just had.

Hey, you know what? If my little mis-take that caused the $4 gas forces people just to stay home and get some real rest instead of running themselves ragged, then I’ve done us all a favor. That’s how I’m going to look at it. And now I don’t have a

reason to feel guilty, do I?Uh-oh.I think I just heard the laughter again.

8BLUEPRINT FOR IMPROVEMENT

By Larry greene, Case Handyman & Remodeling

Question: What are some of the latest trends in kitchen

appliances?

Answer: As kitchens develop even more into the main living space in the home, it’s more important than ever to upgrade appliances to fit your lifestyle. Stainless steel is still the upgrade finish of choice for most Carmel homeowners. Consider the following kitchen appliance trends:1. Microwave Drawers: The advantage

of a microwave drawer is that it takes the microwave off the counter and places it right at the most convenient and accessible height. These units can be easily installed under a counter and are perfect for islands and open-plan kitchens, as well as wet bars, family rooms and home theaters. Sharp was the first to introduce this innovative appliance.

2. European-Style Wall Ovens: These ovens include simple touch controls which give you virtually endless cooking options. Most of these ovens include convection technology which yields more consistent and even cooking results and up to 30% faster

cooking times. An example is the GE Monogram European convection wall oven that is designed to coordinate with other GE appliances.

3. Warming, Refrigeration or Dishwasher Drawers: The main benefit of appliance drawers is the ergonomic design and convenience they offer. These appliances are commonly used in prep areas to reduce trips walking back and forth to large refrigerators, thus freeing up space in the main refrigerator.

4. Induction Cook tops: This form of cook top is gaining popularity because it is energy efficient and easy to clean, can cut cooking times in half and is safer for all members of the family. Induction cook tops have a big advantage over standard gas and electric cook tops. Induction cook tops are 85%-90% efficient compared to gas cook tops (45%) and electric cook tops (30%-40%), translating into lower energy bills.

When buying sand, soil, rocks, mulch, and other loose landscaping materials, it can be hard to estimate how much you’ll need for a project. Materials may be sold by volume (cubic feet or cubic yards) or by weight (tons). Here are some other helpful guidelines:

• A cubic yard of soil, compost or mulch fills about this much space: 320 square feet to a depth of 1 inch; 160 square feet to a depth of 2 inches; 110 square feet to a depth of 3 inches; 80 square feet to a depth of 4 inches.

• A cubic yard of soil weighs more than 2,000 pounds; a cubic yard of sand or

gravel weights nearly 3,000 pounds.• A ton of 1/4- to 3/4-inch-diameter

decorative rock spread 2 inches deep will cover 110 to 120 square feet.

• A ton of sand or pea gravel spread 2 inches deep will cover 100 to 120 square feet.

• Most full-size pickups hold 2 to 3 cubic yards of dirt, sand, gravel, or mulch; however, maximum weight capacity may limit you to carrying less. A single-axle dump truck holds 5 to 7 cubic yards of loose-fill material. Larger trucks may hold more than 10 cubic yards.

Getting hit by a car is the second leading cause of injury-related deaths among children 5 to 9 years old. Because depth perception isn’t fully developed at this age, children can’t accurately judge the distance of an approaching car. Drivers must slow down and be alert in areas where children live and play. Find where you can pick up your FREE yard sign at ACallToChange.org.
