Want to know the latest budding filmmaker in Central Indiana? Meet Luke Broyles, a fourth-grade student at West Clay Elementary in Carmel with surprising credentials and high aspirations.

“I want to become a director,” he said.Luke’s third film, “Swords & Shield’s 3: The Final Chapter,”

premiered Feb. 20 to a packed auditorium at Orchard School in Indianapolis after the first two films in the trilogy premiered to around 200 viewers. Nine area businesses have served as pro-duction sponsors after Broyles created clever, often humorous, 30-second commercials for them pitching his films and need for sponsorship. His recent production costs were underwritten by Bob Moore and his luxury exhibit location, Chateau Design Centre in Carmel.

“Luke called and scheduled an appointment,” said Moore. “He was all dressed up in a nice suit. He told me about the film he’d made and what he had planned for this one. We shook hands and cut the deal.”

Moore was rewarded with a five-minute commercial. “You don’t see this much – the creativity, the hard work he does,” Moore said of young Broyles.

Gifted in recruiting people to join in his film endeavors, Broyles gathered 34 friends from school and church to be in the third of his medieval romps. The filmmaker also authored the script, edited his film on his computer and portrayed the warrior. His best friend since first grade, Anthony Prostyakov, shared the other recurring lead, a boy who travels back in time.

Broyles’ parents, Tim and Donna Broyles, began watching behind-the-scenes portions of DVDs when Luke was three. They started with “Jurassic Park,” hoping to allay fear by showing the story was made up and how the dinosaurs were built. But Broyles had other ideas: “I can do this!”

Three years later, Donna bought her son a plastic sword and shield set on a whim. Excited, the 6-year-old declared it was time to make a movie. Thinking that was unrealistic, his parents stalled, making him first complete the storyboards. However, that concept of drawing out the sequence of storyline scenes was what Broyles was already doing for his illustrated books. Tim said his son finished the new assignment in no time, and they knew he was serious.

“He’s a gifted kid, no doubt about it,” said Kathy Bruner, as-sistant professor at Taylor University in Upland, Ind., having met Broyles at an October Heartland Film Institute in Indianapolis.

From that encounter, Broyles was invited to show his re-cently premiered film trailer at Taylor’s Envision Film Festival in February to a select audience at the president’s home. The breath-taking promotional short Broyles created for his favorite nonprofit, Play Pumps, was also shown.

With three films, close to a dozen commercials, and a basket-ful of illustrated books under his belt, Broyles is quickly striding ahead. Well into a nature documentary, Broyles was challenged by Heartland Truly Moving Pictures founder Jeffery Sparks to make a documentary about “someone you care about.”

Broyles chose school chum, Michael McCarley. The upbeat journey follows him through surgeries to strengthen his legs as a result of cerebral palsy. He hopes to premiere the documentary in May. Then he’ll be on to the next film.

Carmel’s Luke Broyles is an accomplished director with corporate sponsors, and he’s only 10 years old.

“When you get to the Oscars ...”Luke Broyles marched into Chateau Design Centre in Carmel

to meet with owner Bob Moore. He had never asked one com-pany to be a sole sponsor before. Dad Tim came along but let Luke do all the negotiating.

Moore invited Luke to sit up at the massive carved wooden bar in the wine cellar. It’s quite a lavish setting for chocolate milk served in a wine glass. After laying out the costs, Moore agreed to sponsor Luke. “We shook hands on it and cut the deal,” he said. Moore asked if Luke would save him special seats at Luke’s first Oscars. Luke grinned. “For sure!”

It is our position that our schools are to be lauded concerning both aptitude and desire in preparing students for life after graduation. Too often we expect our youth to master calculus, music, art and geopolitics to satisfy our concept of “excellent education.” Dismal statistics on employment rates following di-rect entry into the workforce after high school and even four-year college, coupled with the continual demand for more money from tax and tuition payers, creates a demand for alternatives.

Schools must consider employer expectations for workers. Isn’t it more important for those who may not excel at academics to understand the basics of balancing a checkbook and budgeting? Is a lesson in avoiding the accumulation of an unsustainable debt better than an ISTEP-required regimen? Is the pursuit of a high college entrance percentage distracting us from teaching basics to those unlikely to benefit from the time and money spent on the paper chase?

Schools must offer students an opportunity to redirect their learning path at an early enough age to increase the graduation of employer-ready graduates. Are current results so good that we should not consider alternatives? We think not!

The public option Be activeIt is our position that our community pro-

vides us with an abundance of opportunities to get outside and be active. Whether it’s walking, running, hiking, biking, rollerblading, canoeing, fishing or going to Cool Creek Park to fly a kite with your kids, take advantage of the plethora of amenities we have avail-able right in our back yard.

Start with a stroll along the Monon Greenway, one of the Midwest’s most highly acclaimed rail-trails.

REadERS’ VIEWS

COMMENTaRYBy Terry anker

It never fails to sadden me when I witness a youngster “lose” his words and strike another child rather than finding some higher form of communication to get a point across.

At a routine check-up many years ago for our youngest son, his pediatrician took great alarm in the fact that the tike didn’t speak – not a word – even though he’d already reached his third birthday. We had long imagined that his older brother, then eight years old, was simply speaking for the younger, thereby eliminating the need. But we had noted significant behavior difficulties. When irritated or unable to express his desires, he would become angry and scream (or hit). The doctor urged speech therapy, and we obliged.

Months later, little progress was showing. In fact, the kid seemed to hate everything about the process of learning to speak. The therapist suggested that it might be time to consider autism or tumor as a genesis. We moved to redouble our efforts. More therapy and more

practice – eventually a breakthrough! The older one had begun to teach the young-

er to use basic sign language. And, as if a dam had breached, one word led to another and then to a phrase. While we felt joy that the concept of symbolic communication had been attained, our young son acted as if a veil were lifted. He took joy in the exchange and the anger of isola-tion faded away. It took years more to find pro-ficiency, but the frustration was gone.

This week in Washington, D.C., as the health care debate raged, participants relied on name-calling and procedural lockouts on both sides of the issue. A 3-year-old could remind them that isolation leads to anger. And anger leads to aggression. But it feels a lot better if we just use our words.

Mother’s Day rapidly is approaching. In celebration of all moms in our area, we’re teaming with Ology Spa at Clarian North Medical Center to reward a special woman with a wonderful prize package – just for her. It’s the first Rejuvenate Your Mom Contest, and nominations may be made online at www.currentincarmel.com or www.ologyspa.com through April 27. As important as the haul our winner will receive is the fact that someone cared enough to nominate her and the reasons why. So, think hard about the No. 1 woman in your life that might be “world class” but possibly “taken for granted.” (See the advertisement on page 25.)

• • •Let’s give credit where it’s due. There’s

been a great deal of criticism over President Barack Obama and his pay czar cutting com-pensation an average of 15 percent for top executives at companies that received federal bailout dollars, but have yet to repay the money. It’s the right thing to do. These com-panies took taxpayer money, so they have to play by the established rules.

• • •We find it troubling that the new heath-

care bill, touted by supporters as the greatest thing since the remote control, may require up to 16,500 new IRS agents to enforce. So, Obama is saying, in effect, “This bill is so great that I’m going to sic the IRS on you to make sure you’re in compliance, and if not, you’ll be fined.” And let’s be honest, do you really think the IRS will only be looking for health care compliance? It’s all about control, of us, and making sure our government knows ev-erything about us. Really scary stuff.

• • •We wish Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear

the speediest of recoveries in the wake of his heart-stent surgery last week. He was plan-ning to be back in the office this week.

It took years more to find proficiency, but the frustration was gone.

Editor:The Current showed a lack of fair and balanced

reporting in regards to the Carmel Clay Schools referendum. Quoting only one citizen who was al-lowed to go on with his issues leaves one question to be answered: Does this citizen have children who attend or have attended CCS? What stopped me in my tracks was this citizen’s statement that the schools “… create absolutely no wealth.”

As a parent who sought out the best schools when returning to Indiana, I have two students attending Carmel High School. While there are

countless similar stories, I will focus on ones that directly affect my family and add value to our community. Carmel High School has 34 National Merit Scholar semi-finalists – 10 percent of the state’s total number – value added. The Marching Greyhounds have the longest streak of making the Bands of America national finals of any school in the country – value added. The TechHounds ro-botics team over the weekend repeated as cham-pions of the FIRST Boilermaker Regional at Purdue University and will compete in the international competition in Atlanta – value added.

Contrary to the Current’s lone quoted citizen, I believe passing the referendum will help ensure CCS maintains the level of academics and activi-ties that prepare students for college and are sought after by families looking to move to the area. I will gladly pay less than a dollar a day to help guarantee my youngest child continues to receive same level of education and that students in the future have the same opportunities as stu-dents currently have.

Brainard just looking for more money

Editor:After reading the article regarding the

proposed ZIP code changes in Carmel and Westfield (“ZIPped together,” March 23), these two mayors are like two kids picking their territory. They can rationalize all they want to, but we, as homeowners will feel some negative impact through our insur-ances, services and housing prices.

It appears to me both of these gentle-men have more pressing issues on their plates. Because Mayor Jim Brainard could not get those of us north of 146th Street in his tax base, now he wants us out of his beloved Carmel. And Mayor Brainard is trying to make the United States Postal Service the bad guy?

Just because Brainard wants something doesn’t mean he should get it at the expense of Westfield homeowners. The survey will get a big “no” from me when it comes in my Carmel mailbox.

Wilson could use a lesson in toleranceEditor:

Humorist Danielle Wilson’s column (“Sometimes it’s hard not to protest at church,” March 16) regarding her dilemma on whether to walk out of church in protest must have been an exercise in self-deprecating humor.

She leaves us guessing whether to be for her or against her urge to walk out, as she gives no details as to what the minister said that offended her. However, she gives a clue later in the article when she confesses she did walk out sometime ago when her minister made remarks that Muslims “were taking over the world.” She per-

ceived her minister to be intolerant. So we know Mrs. Wilson considers herself to be a champion of tolerance.

So, if one walks out of church in protest be-cause of perceived intolerance on the part of the minister without even attempting to enter into a private dialogue for clarification, is this person being tolerant herself? I think not; hence the “humor” in Mrs. Wilson’s column has to be one of self-deprecation.

Mrs. Wilson should take a trip to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a “peaceful” Islamic nation, and ask why men in public, who are not in the mosques pray-

ing at the prescribed times, are being threatened with clubs by “prayer police.” She could also ask why Muslim women are not given the same edu-cational opportunities as men and are kept “out of sight.”

Perhaps while waiting at the airport for her flight to Riyadh she will be reminded that we Americans are very tolerant people; the reason we have to spend an extra hour at the airport these days is because of terrorists, who all just happen to be Muslims.

dISPaTChESCOMMENTaRY By danielle Wilson

I just want to throw up right now. We had our home inspec-tion today, and I am waiting on the results. If they are decent, then we will have officially sold our house. If they aren’t, then the deal will probably fall through. My husband gives it a 50/50 chance of coming back bad for us.

So I can now confirm that selling your house is one of the most stressful experiences you can go through, after death of a loved one and divorce. (In one chart, incarceration also ranked higher. Fair enough.) Leaving for showings is one thing, but today when I returned home after the inspection, I actually felt violated. I knew people had been scrutinizing and analyzing every nook and cranny of my home and deciding whether or not they could live with it. They were judging me and my family based on the condition of our roof and garage doors and sump pump. It made me want to take a shower, except I could tell they’d looked in there too and probably commented on the one little chipped tile toward the back wall.

Will they still want to buy our house? Will they be able to look past its flaws and remember why they made their offer in the first place? Will we have to go back to daily showings and the possibil-ity of not being able to sell? Will I ever sleep again?

THREE HOURS LATER: I just read the report, and I still feel sick. Some of the comments were not unexpected, but some were. And the fact that we can’t defend the lack of an electrical outlet in the island or explain why there is a stain on the bath-room ceiling just honks me off. Do they care that the stain has been here since we moved in, nine years ago? That there has never been a leak? That I’ve noticed it maybe twice in all those months of actually living in that room? No, I’m sure they don’t.

I guess that’s what’s really getting to me. I’ve spent a lot of time in this house. I’ve invested money and sweat and gallons of creative juices to make this the perfect place to raise my family. I’ve brought three infants home from the hospital to this address. I’ve mowed the lawn approximately 400 times. I’ve spent count-less hours finding just the right shade of green for my family room: Dutch Boy lonely pines in a satin finish. I’ve hosted eight Kentucky Derby parties on my back deck, serving hundreds of authentic mint juleps and plates of country ham. Hell, I’ve even watched my husband track and kill a coon in his PJs up in this very attic.

But none of that is in the stupid inspection report. They didn’t give me any kudos for finishing the basement or planting peren-nials or installing granite countertops. There is no “great” or “good” category, only “major repair/safety hazard” and “needs maintenance.” And who knows what our buyers will ask to be fixed. Could be the rotted windows or the chimney mortar cap or maybe just the settled front stoop. I’ve got a whole week to worry about that. Yippee!

NEXT MORNING: I had a good cry last night (“It’s just ten-sion, it doesn’t mean anything!”) and felt marginally better when I awoke, only to discover our dream house is now off the market. Again. So I e-mailed my realtor and suggested they begin offer-ing psychiatric services and look into keeping a G.I. physician on retainer. The nausea is back tenfold. Peace out.

In the most recent poll, released March 23 by the Indiana Boys Volleyball Coaches Association (IBVCA), the Carmel High School men’s volleyball team ranked third. The Greyhounds are behind only Cathedral, ranked first, and Lawrence North, ranked second. The team is operated by the Carmel Dads’ Club and sponsored, in part, by Current in Carmel.

Carmel Drive will close at Keystone Parkway on or after Thursday for construction of the roundabout interchange. After 30 days, Carmel Drive traffic only will be able to access Keystone in a right-in, right-out configuration. That will continue for approximately 120 days before the interchange opens.

Four lanes of traffic on Keystone Parkway will be maintained during construction of the Carmel Drive interchange. A 40-mph speed limit is in effect and will be enforced in the con-struction zone along with the entire Keystone

Parkway corridor from East 96th Street to US 31. The Carmel Drive interchange is part of the final phase of a three-year project to lower the grade of Keystone Parkway under six major interchanges along the five-mile stretch. When completed, the north-south traffic on Keystone Parkway will be free-flowing with no traffic lights between 98th Street and 146th Street, and tear-drop shaped roundabouts interchanges will manage the east-west traffic flow.

For more information on the project visit www.CarmelLink.org.

Announcement of Palladium’s inaugural lineup may be months away

By kevin kane Current in Carmel

Those waiting for an announcement of the first season’s shows at The Palladium likely won’t see one for a few more months.

The Center for the Performing Arts’ Public Relations Manager John Hughey and Director of Development Jeremy Hatch said last week that the inaugural lineup of the 1,600-seat con-cert hall likely won’t be announced until this fall. A majority of the building’s construction is scheduled to be completed in November with the grand opening occurring in January.

The reason for the delay, Hughey said, is that the center will first complete its box office and

process for purchasing tickets, and it will still be months before those tasks are finished.

Another cause behind the wait, Hughey said, is that multiple contracts between the center and artists are currently being negotiated but haven’t been finalized. Hatch said that he’s heard many names mentioned as possible performers at The Palladium but added that it’s often diffi-cult to distinguish between legitimate possibili-ties and mere rumors. A number of high-profile performers have been rumored to play at The Palladium since the hiring of Michael Feinstein as the center’s artistic director. However, none of these names has been confirmed, and it may be months before that changes.

Ology Spa and Current in Carmel are team-ing up to offer one mom a Total Rejuvenation for Mother’s Day.

This contest is for any mom who is overworked, stressed or just plain neglected. Deserving moms should be nominated for the contest with a submission of their story and details on why they are most deserving of rejuvenation. The winner will receive a Thai Massage, an Ayurvedic Facial, a Radiant Ritual, Diamondtome Microdermabrasion, Namasté Massage and Beyond Tooth Whitening as well as ‘Spa to Go’ bag full of exclusive products. The total prize package could be valued over $1000. Entries are being collected through April 27 and the winner will be decided by an online vote.

Ology Spa has experience with the various demands of working and raising a family, as a majority of its customers and staff are moth-ers, and the contest is a chance for Ology Spa

to show its appreciation to the hard work that mothers do on a daily basis.

“I have a personal soft spot for this contest as my own mom, who was a working mother long before it was commonplace, passed

away when I was barely out of my teens,” said Andréa Bradley-Stutz, one of the

owners and director of Ology. “This is an indirect way to

honor her.” The Spa treatments

are designed to help a mom cope with stress,

make time to focus on herself and have a sound sleep. These elements, combined with the benefits of the various treatments offered with the contest, end up treating both the body and the mind.

“We (Ology) really prefer to dedicate our philanthropic dollars as close to home as pos-sible.” Bradley-Stutz said. “Our guests typi-cally come from the community around us. We like to do things for people who are our neighbors and friends.”

Total Mom Rejuvenation Contest open to all moms

Carmel Clay school board members say the referendum up for a vote on May 4 could save the numerous teaching posi-tions the board recently voted to cut.

On March 22, the board approved the cutting of 40 teaching positions, 13 in-structive assistants and one assistant superintendent. Of the $3.2 million cut from the budget, $2.1 million came from the reduction of teach-ers’ salaries.

A referendum for a tax levy of $12 million will be taken to a public vote on May 4, and Board President Andrew Klein said that, if the refer-endum passes, some of these teaching positions will likely be restored.

“My view is that the current proposal can work,” Klein said. “Our No. 1 goal will be to restore teaching positions.”

When Gov. Mitch Daniels announced Indiana’s $300-million shortfall for K-12 educa-tion, the Carmel Clay school board hunched

over its figures that bantered a $3.8 million cut for 2010. This budget loss translates into a monthly shortfall of $317,000 in the general fund, 93 percent of which goes toward teach-

ers’ salaries and benefits. The board concluded that cutting faculty positions was the most logical way to address this deficit.

“It’s simply not feasible at this point to solve our rev-enue shortfalls without nega-tive impact on classrooms,” Klein said.

In the past two years, these teachers did not receive any bonuses and even paid higher insurance rates. Brian Lyday, president of the Carmel Clay Education Association, ad-dressed this issue and pleaded

with the community members in attendance, asking that they “reward and respect these teach-ers who have produced some of the highest scores in the state.”

“It’s just a very difficult situation, one that really everyone is struggling with,” said CCS Superintendent Jeff Swensson.

School board: Referendum could reverse some faculty cuts

COMMENTaRYBy Jeff Worrell

This is a story about an adventure still un-folding involving 25 Indianapolis elementary school students, their young, very talented and highly motivated teacher, and three compas-sionate Carmel women. Our story begins on the Monon Trail. While achieving their exercise goal and discussing current events, the ladies’ chitchat turns to the plight of IPS School 19, recently highlighted in the local news media.

Just like everyone else who heard about the teacher struggling to increase ISTEP scores while at the same time scavenging for ruled paper, the women could have simply concluded, “Isn’t that terrible?” But the heroes in our story had quite a different exchange that ended with, “We MUST do something!”

So the three Carmel ladies set off for Raymond Street and I-65, unsure of what they would do or what they would find. But they were sure they could make a difference. Upon entering the school for the first time, they were greeted by professionals and issued name badges neatly lettered Mary Horton, Carolyn O’Hara and Sue Westermeier. Turning the corner of the long elementary school corridor and looking for the last door on the left, Mary, Carolyn and Sue entered a place that will forever be changed

because of them. Twenty-five heads looked up from their

papers, and it was love at first sight. Twenty five students – who are accustomed to notebooks already used and torn with the previous owner’s name scratched out – were polite and studi-ous. When the three Carmel ladies entered their classroom, the students saw three super heroes dressed in blue spandex with capes around their shoulders who had just arrived to save the day.

They don’t really ask for much. A luxury would be a small white board, and Mrs. Nave says how awesome it would be to have a few magnets to display some papers. But she un-derstands budgets – there is no such thing as a take-home supply list, and well, that’s just the way it is.

So a love affair between the three women and the future of our society is unfolding right before our eyes. The story continues and so will I … next week as I share the beauty of “We MUST do something” and how three busy ladies from Carmel should inspire us all.

dent and championed various pieces of legisla-tion? He would let Congress know exactly what he wanted in these bills, and he would let them know the bare minimum he would accept.

Unfortunately, Barack Obama approached Congress with much-needed health care reform in a position of compromise. In fact, he dismissed the idea of universal health care before he was even elected. He was wrong, but we elected him anyway, with the hope that we would eventually have the same access to health care as every other industrialized nation in the world.

After his inauguration, Republicans watered down universal health care to mean simply a public option for government-sponsored health care, thereby preserving private health insurers’ very existence. But even this public option wasn’t good enough. No, since govern-ment health care would not have the overhead of private insurance, it would cost much less, thereby running the risk of rendering private health insurance worthless. Private insurers would have to compete, God forbid.

So when Rush Limbaugh complains that Congress passed health care legislation that nobody wants, he is only half right. Most people still want universal health care. That’s why President Obama was elected in the first

place. But by failing to lead on this most important issue, Obama is left to sign legisla-tion that barely tweaks the horrendous private insurance now in place.

Sure, we can now buy new policies even with pre-existing conditions. And we can transfer our insurance from job to job. But by requiring private health insurance, this legisla-tion only serves to increase the bureaucracy we had hoped to eliminate when we elected Obama. Where’s the change?

He allowed the Republicans to water down the legislation from the outset. In the biggest irony of the year, Obama and the Democrats were left to approve a Republican bill that no Republicans voted for. Limbaugh and his ilk successfully convinced many blue-collar Americans that health care reform is a bad idea – thereby hurting most those universal health care stands to help.

While passing this legislation was certainly better than doing nothing, it merely scratched the surface of the reform so desperately re-quired. Obama and the Democrats cannot consider this job done. Real health care reform in this country has only just begun.

Health care bill only the beginning of true reform

COMMENTaRYBy Vicky Earley

There is a fine line between giving a client the look they want and giving experienced design or decorating advice – and that fine line can be a tightrope!

At times, that rope can be treacherous. Does a client simply want affirmation, or does he or she want real advice?

If a client is simply looking for confirmation, it really is best to call a girlfriend. If the client is looking for an unemo-tional opinion in an attempt to avoid the expense and disappointment of a mistake, an experienced design or decorating professional is in order.

Saying “no” to a client requires courage and diplomacy; I am working on both of those but have a long way to go! It takes time and experience to understand that the true value of a design professional lies in sometimes brutal honesty based on talent, experience and educa-tion. Sometimes that includes words like, “I would not recommend that and here is why …”

When I was new to the industry, a client asked if I could help update a living room that had been unattended for several decades. The client’s approach was to add a pair of new chairs to a sofa that was structurally sound but with fabric that was old enough to vote. My instinct

said it would not help, but inexperience led me down a path of wanting to please.

Today, I would say no. It doesn’t matter that you have rarely sat on that floral ‘80s sofa. It is dated … period. And if I bring in chairs styled in 2010 and place them with a sofa that was all the rage in 1986, the chairs will look like today and the sofa will still look dated.

Before you say decorators and designers just want you to start with everything new, allow me to assure you that is not the case. On the con-trary, it is generally easier to springboard a project from an existing inspiration piece. It is just that the direction has to reflect the piece itself and eliminate wishful-thinking mental images.

When a client informs me they would like to update a tired kitchen with the trendy glass mosaic backsplash featured at a home show, my

job is to help them visualize the finished project. By painting an accurate mental

picture before an invest-ment is made, clients

save money and angst over disappointing results. In this instance, the flashy, new backsplash would have made the cabinets look even

older and more dated.This is not to say that tired

cabinets can’t be updated without a total kitchen demolition! Just remember the era of the ele-ment you are working around, and don’t push it too far into the future.

In the case of the dated cabinets, if they are structurally sound, I might suggest a more modest approach to the backsplash, such as subway tile. This keeps it fresh without focusing a flood light on flaws.

As with most things in life, it really is better to do it right from the start. To do otherwise in deco-rating is a guarantee of disappointment.

The key to decorating: Doing it right the first time

» Long and lean – Stacy London shares style solutions for helping you look long and lean:

• When your legs look longer, you look taller. To visually lengthen your legs, choose high-waisted skirts and pants, empire-waist pieces, or dresses with a waistline above your natural waist.

• Elongate your neck by wearing dresses or tops with V-cut or scooped neck-lines and avoiding chunky necklaces, which ruin the lengthening effect.

• Keep accessories small. Anything over-size (sunglasses, bags, scarves) makes you look shorter.

COMMENTaRYBy Brandie Bohney

Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote in his poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,”

Water, water everywhereAnd all the boards did shrink.

Water, water everywhereNor any a drop to drink.

Coleridge was writing about the plight of a crew of sailors stuck at sea with nothing to eat or drink. The water was taunting them with its ever-present uselessness. I see the same plight with writers who overuse hyphens.

Recently, I have noticed a dramatic – and disturbing – increase in the use of hyphens in words that have no business being hyphenated. While a few that stick out in my mind, the most frequent is in thank you. I can’t tell you the number of times I have seen thank-you written just like that, with that horrible taunting and useless hyphen mocking its own existence and my sanity.

Now, I’m not going to tell you that all of the times hyphens are necessary follow strict or easy-to-remember rules. There are several good guidelines that will get you through most of the occasions you might need them, but there are plenty of exceptions. Mothers-in-law get hy-phens; great aunts can but don’t have to. Words

that begin with the prefixes self-, all-, and ex- (meaning previous or former) all get hyphens, but prefixes in-, im-, anti-, and dis- don’t.

Here’s what I will tell you: iI in doubt, look it up or say it another way. I would rather see that Ted has no interest than to see he is dis-interest-ed. I would rather see I appreciate your gift than thank-you. And I’d rather see that you agree with your husband’s sister than you agree with your sister in law. Make sense?

As for Coleridge, I pay homage (or maybe of-fensive disrespect) with my own little rhyme:

Hyphens, hyphens everywhereSo many out of place

Hyphens, hyphens everywhere Punctuation can disgrace.

And for those of you who would like a really handy reference for hyphenation rules, check out Purdue’s OWL (online writing lab): owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/. Search “hyphen use” for a succinct and well-organized list of appro-priate uses for hyphens. Otherwise, just keep your dictionary – online or otherwise – handy.

COMMENTaRY By Becky kapsalis

A recent headline in the Indianapolis Star read, “Missing ingredient in some schools: parents.” I propose taking it one step further: “Missing ingredient in all homes of poorly be-haved kids: parents.”

I’m not looking to blame, point fingers or make judgments, but let’s face facts. Common sense tells us without parents there would be no kids. We need parent development. If all we’re doing to improve the life of an otherwise emotionally troubled child is to create more and more programs, I believe we are putting these at-risk kids on a merry-go-round. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a dif-ferent outcome is merely spinning our wheels – going nowhere.

Parents are the key ingredient to a child’s development. Parents bring dignity to children and are the first responders to our children’s future. Kids are not born with behavioral issues. They are born into behavioral issues. Before we can contemplate helping our children be children of value, we have to become parents of value. School or court-appointed programs mandating parents to participate in parent de-velopment courses that help them resurface their

self-worth and emotional intelligence might be one way to begin the process of commitment. Self-worth is what we are born with; it is our emotional intelligence, and it is not dependant on external influences. Self-esteem is fickle and superficial and suggests entitlement. Our pris-ons are filled with persons with high self-esteem.

When we recognize our own God-given emo-tional intelligence, we are laying a foundation of accomplishment the likes of which we may never otherwise know. Most parents of at-risk kids are troubled parents. Poor parenting is poor parenting and crosses all socio-economic lines. Unless we begin appealing to our emo-tional intelligence, we mustn’t expect to have a solution to our kids’ problems. Our emotions become our human blueprint. Cultivating our emotions is the embodiment of our parental intelligence. We must never be the missing in-gredient in our children’s lives. www.indyparen-thelp.com

Hugs!

Parents hold the key in shaping behavior

Hyphens, hyphens, everywhere!

Easter Bunny spoons - Want an Easter activity for kids without the mess of painting eggs? Try this Easter Bunny made from two flat wood craft spoons. You’ll need one white chenille stem,small plas-tic wiggle eyes, pink or white yarn, glue dots and craft glue. Color in with colored pencils.

Plant some veggies – Start some veg-etables in flats now: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes and lettuce are good choices. Give peas a chance. The earlier they mature, the sweeter they'll be. Save some for a later planting as well.

Read more of Chris Lloyd’s review of current films and DVD’s at www.captaincritic.blogspot.com or www.TheFilmYap.com.

A good though not great film, “An Education” will be most remembered as the coming-out party for Carey Mulligan. Previously a virtual unknown, she delivered a career-launching performance -- and earned an Oscar nomination -- in this drama about a young English girl who gets caught up in a whirlwind of romance with a dubious character in 1961 London. Although the film didn’t light any fires in its theatrical run, movie lovers are poised to discover Mulligan’s nuanced, layered turn as “An Education” hits video stores.

Mulligan plays Jenny, a working-class girl whose entire existence seems to revolve around meeting her parents’ expectations that she get into Oxford. She dreams of escaping her bourgeois confines and seeing the world, and meeting people “who know lots about lots.” One day she meets David (Peter Sarsgaard), who represents everything she desires: He wears sleek suits, drives a rare sports car, goes to mod parties and whisks her off to Paris for romantic getaways. Though at least twice her age, the charismatic David convinces Jenny’s parents (Alfred Molina and Cara Seymour) to condone the affair.

As Jenny edges closer to ditching her future – despite the warnings of her English teacher

(Olivia Williams) and headmistress (Emma Thompson) -- some cracks appear in the attrac-tive pedestal upon which David is placing her.

Danish director Lone Scherfig brings an out-sider’s touch to this very British tale, showing the allure of both worlds in which Jenny rests a foot.

honey-based chickenCOMMENTaRYBy Chef Michael Vlasich

While perusing information for my recent St. Patrick’s Day article, I found an interesting fact profoundly related to St Patrick’s Day that I should have mentioned: Abraham Lincoln’s inaugural dinner menu from March 4, 1861, which was corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes.

The starter was a mock turtle soup, and des-sert was blackberry pie. I found it tickled my funny bone for two reasons: First, it was in with St. Patrick’s Day trivia just because of the entrée, when it really had no just cause. Second, a U.S. president – one of our greatest – could eat his celebratory dinner with any chef, but he selected that of a Midwestern common man, again showing his true character. With President Lincoln’s new museum displays, I thought it ap-propriate to continue to discuss more of his diet preferences in this article.

The first thing to understand is his upbring-ing, which is where our history intersects his. Young Abraham was raised in the then-frontier lands of western Indiana and Kentucky. Here, his basic diet was partly economically driven but also frontier traditional, including items like corn dodgers, which were cakes made of corn meal for most all meals. He consumed lot of game, which provided the protein in his diet. He would eat plenty of eggs, bacon, milk and mush. His favorite sweet delicacy throughout his life was honey.

All these foods would shape his adult eating habits even into his presidency, although there are contradictory accounts of what and how much he would eat. The other influence on his dining habits was his wife, Mary Todd, who was raised the opposite of Abe. She was raised in the rolling bluegrass hills of eastern Kentucky, in a very wealthy family that always had a maid and cooks. They traveled extensively and were

exposed to the finest foods and cui-sines of the day.

In the White House, as in life, President Lincoln remained a simple

eater. Most authorities agreed he was gen-erally indifferent to food. But some thought differently. His bodyguard, Colonel William H. Crook, said, “Mr. Lincoln was fond of bacon and was a hearty eater. He never lost his boyish, growing appetite. He was a wholesome man who would devour plentifully to keep up his strength, which was taxed beyond endurance in the days of the war.”

Here’s a fast, easy honey-based chicken recipe great for summertime grilling. The best part is you can do it last minute with no planning.

If only a jar of honey would suffice …

Notable changes occur inside Palladium

Photos by Kevin Kane1. Crews began painting inside the dome of the Palladium on March 23 2. This section shows three combinations of different shades of pink and blue. An architect will soon choose which combination of the two will be used throughout the dome 3. Last week, one of the concert hall’s two grand staircases was installed 4. Crews are currently plastering the boxes for these private seating sections by hand.



Looking to escape the trouble he has run into in New York, Danny accepts his cousin Howie’s invitation to join him in renovating a castle in Eastern Europe. Once there, however, strange events begin to unfold. Danny immediately begins to doubt Howie’s motives in bringing him to the castle. Could he be seeking revenge for the cruel childhood prank that changed both cousins’ lives years ago? And what relationship do Howie and Danny have to Ray, the convicted murderer who relates their story in his prison writing class?

Egan’s unconventional characters are well-drawn and believable while also being intriguingly different. At the same time, improbable events and an eerie tone lend an air of uncertainty that makes this atmospheric novel even more powerful. “The Keep” is a modern day gothic ghost story that explores the line between imagination and reality.

COMMENTaRYBy david Cain

Now, I’m not an avid runner; I run for my blood pressure. Shockingly, my doctor informed me a couple years ago that I had high blood pressure. Imagine that, a 42-year-old, high stress, no hair, impatient, obsessive, somewhat compulsive workaholic with high blood pres-sure? It just didn’t add up.

I endeavored to solve this mystery. I quit drinking. I started exercising. I cut out sodas. I dialed back salt. I went to bed earlier. I relaxed. And each variable I tracked on a daily graph for two weeks to see what made a difference, just like any good obsessive-compulsive would do. As expected, exercising had the biggest impact. Great, the one thing I didn’t want to do. So I’ve become a self-proclaimed blood-pressure runner.

Running is the only exercise I can continue to do. Seems that if you can just get a mile from your house, you have to get back. It’s the only exercise where I can’t stop in the middle and quit.

I’m usually a morning runner, lumbering along before the light of day. Under the cover of darkness in the light of the dawn, I can hide my bad running form and matching awkward outfit. Last week, I was preparing to run in the morning, peeked out the door, and was greeted with a rush of cold. I knew the day would usher

in near-60s temperatures, so I decided to defer. I’d wait until after work to run. It seemed like a good idea.

That night, I got home at an early 6 p.m. and hit the streets. As I trudged along, I felt a need to pick up the pace. Cars were rushing by, and people were looking at me. Running in the light of day was different. I had to be better or, more likely, I wanted to be better because I felt people were watching. My form improved, my pace quickened, I felt better. The lumbering bear shot with a dart had been transformed into a nimble cat.

Then my mind drifted to the work. I won-dered how many businesses were running in the dark? How many were hiding in the early dawn of the morning instead of running in the day-light? Was my organization making all the deci-sions like we were running in the light of day? I don’t know for sure, but it’s my new mantra: Run in the daylight. Be open, transparent, clear, and fearless. Chances are you’ll get faster and more functional.

» Erasing dark circles – It may not be your lifestyle that causes those dark circles under your eyes. For some people, the discoloration is from blood vessels that lie close to the surface. Age exagger-ates the problem. There are three good options, though, to decrease or eliminate the dark circles:

• Wrinkle creams can help by boosting elastin production.

• Injectable fillers can be used to replace lost fat tissue.

• Concealer can temporarily make the area appear less dark.

-Remedy

» Tattoo removal – Removing a tattoo is a procedure best left to professionals, and even in professional hands, there’s really only one good way to do it: quality-switched (or Q-switched) lasers. Derm-abrasion, salabrasion, cryosurgery (also known as cyrotherapy) and surgical removal all leave scars and can be pain-ful. The laser removal breaks down the ink into particles small enough for the body to absorb without scarring.

COMMENTaRYBy dmitry M. arbuck

Diabetes is a horrible disease that affects many organs and tissues and is deadly if not treated.

In pain management, we see many unfortu-nate patients who suffer with peripheral diabetic neuropathy. This condition develops because of changes inside the nerves, which make the nerves to fire without provocation. The progres-sion of the disease goes from not having any pain to having shooting sensations, then burn-ing sensations, and finally numbness.

Of course, the best way to prevent problems is to treat diabetes appropriately by keeping blood sugars in check. At the same time, even periodic blood sugar increases may damage the nerves and cause neuropathy. The majority of people with neuropathies do not have pain at least to a point, unless the illness progresses far enough.

The prevention of such neuropathies must be done in every diabetes patient and includes

administration of vitamin Bs and alpha lipoic acid. Folic acid and vitamin B12 are especially important, but they have to be metabolized by the body before they become active. In a substantial number of people, such metabo-lism is impaired, and even taking large enough amounts of vitamin B12 and folic acid does not produce a therapeutic effect.

There are a number of medications on the market that supply already metabolized folic acid and vitamin B12, allowing patients to prevent or delay development of neuropathy. Another important point to remember is that vitamin B12 depletes vitamin B6 and vice versa; therefore, those vitamins have to be taken in conjunction and never separately if taken for a prolonged period of time.

Pain is preventable with diabetes patients

COMMENTaRYBy dr. Barry Epley

The greatest trend in plastic surgery over the past decade has been, ironically, the explosion of procedures that don’t involve actual surgery. With these treatments, making the face look rested, supple and youthful has become as easy as a quick visit to the doctor’s office. Non-surgical facial enhancement far exceeds the actual number of cosmetic surgeries performed per year.

Such “beauty treatments” have been very successful with concerns of facial aging, but the same approach has not seen the same success with body concerns. The search for an effec-tive non-surgical method for the reduction and removal of fat remains as elusive as the “magic pill” or diet for weight loss. Much has been promised, but little has been delivered so far.

The allure of “non-surgical” is always compel-ling, and any device or product that offers it always attracts a large amount of public interest. But within that appeal lies the often ignored fact that non-surgical treatments are not equivalent to surgery. They produce results that are far inferior and should be of thought as a delaying tactic or a complement to what surgery can do, not a substitute.

Non-surgical facial methods should never be equated to actual surgery. You can reduce a few wrinkles, plump up some thin tissues and get your skin to look fresher. And, to be sure, those

are great changes for many people, but many patients often expect or believe much more will occur. This is unfortunately not helped by the sometimes very “broad” promotional claims of

product manufacturers and doctors alike. While seriously “injurious” complications are

rare with underperforming and overpromised cosmetic treatments, there is always the eco-nomic loss. Wasted money may prevent some-one from contributing to and having a more significant procedure that would provide much better long-term benefit.

One good illustration of this concept is in the highly promoted “liquid facelift” procedure. Plumping your face up with injectable fillers does create more fullness in the face, and the procedure could be called a lift of some sort. But its effects last perhaps six months and cost several thousand dollars. Some form of a real facelift (and there are many variations) may cost two or three times more, but the results are much more significant and could easily last a decade or more.

Is either one wrong? No. Each person has their own objective and needs and either ap-proach could be right for different people. But from the concept of value, removing, lifting and tightening is actually more economical in the long-run than plumping and a little smoothing.

COMMENTaRYBy Sally Feldman

The massage world may not love this, but here’s the deal: You should “want” a massage – not “need” a massage. What does this mean?

When we were born, most of us (unless there was a birth defect) were born with bodies that were perfect. As we became erect, our shoulders lined up with our hips and all was good with the world. We were children who skipped, jumped, hopped, rolled down hills and climbed trees.

We all remember it, but somewhere along the line, gravity drags us down because we sit to much, abuse our bodies with stress and become weekend-warrior athletes. Our once-graceful bodies become hunched over, rotated, knocked-kneed, pigeon-toed and worst of all, in pain all the time.

There is a bit of a craze for medication lately, because guess what? We are all in some kind of chronic pain, distress, and need for relief 24 hours a day. Pill-popping is a hobby for many Americans. We can’t sleep, we sit around on our tush too much, and we forget how good it feels to get out and do cartwheels. That may be a

bit of a gross exaggeration, but how about just being pain-free?

If you do anything for yourself this year, I want you to buy the book “Pain Free” by Pete Egoscue, the guru of postural alignment. He has a podcast on iTunes also, so you can get the gist with his radio show. He has developed a series of exercises that put your body back in the alignment that you deserve. There are testimoni-als from people like Jack Nicklaus on egoscue.com, and the site is well worth your time.

Make your next appointment with the Egoscue affiliate in Noblesville, and be sure to mail me for more info and for my own personal testimony. Massages are the bomb, but this will help you feel like a kid again, folks!

Go, fight! Win back your health, Indiana. Let the Egoscue begin!

Egoscue: It’s the position not the condition

Our once-graceful bodies become hunched over, rotated, knocked-kneed, pigeon-toed and worst of all, in pain all the time.

COMMENTaRYBy Bob Walters

When “The Passion of the Christ” was re-leased in 2004, I joined hundreds of local folks at a pre-screening of the film.

When it first appeared in stores, I bought the DVD.

Now years after that first theater viewing, the DVD is still in the wrapper and I’ve never seen the movie again.

It was that kind of movie. Our sin is that kind of awful.

Too many people debate the wrong elements of that film. They complain it is anti-Jewish, it is too violent, it includes story elements that aren’t in the Bible, the androgynous Satan/serpent character is too creepy, the theology is “old school,” producer Mel Gibson got a DUI and drunkenly made racist comments, Gibson’s father is a nut-case Holocaust denier, conspiracy theorist, and Vatican II crank.

Satan just loves it when he can pull us off point.

You see, the point is that the Cross of Christ’s crucifixion shows us the reality of our sin and the depth of God’s love. The truth is that the Cross of Christ is not a picture of God’s wrath; nor does the Bible anywhere call it punishment or payment. Christ on the Cross is a picture of God’s grace with Jesus bearing the infinite burden of our sins, erasing them with his death,

and defeating death itself with His resurrection.It was the world’s evil and the wickedness of

man – Satan – that beat and bloodied Christ. Those are a fallen world’s sins and our individual brokenness for which sinless Jesus suffered pain and humiliation, which are so realistically, shockingly, disturbingly, horrendously and mer-cilessly depicted in “The Passion of the Christ.”

If we blame God – or Mel Gibson or his dad or the Church or the Jews – for what happened on the Cross, we are blame-shifting something for which we must take full responsibility, and for which we must be willing to claim in faith as the ultimate truth:

That I am a sinner and Christ died so I wouldn’t have to.

That the victory of the Cross is our freedom from death; our salvation.

Do I believe that? Oh yeah.What the innocent Jesus – fully man and

fully God – endured to provide my salvation could not have been God’s hate and retribution; it could only have been God’s love.

But oh, I loath being reminded how the vic-tory was won.

Bob Walters (www.believerbob.blogspot.com, email [email protected]) knows other people who saw the movie, and then bought the video but never watched it.

COMMENTaRYBy Rachael Noble

I recently watched a couple that was clearly on a first date. Body language certainly spoke louder than words. She was obviously very into him, staring into his eyes and hanging on his every word. Yet his mind was somewhere else, probably trying to predict the score of the game or just hoping she wouldn’t order dessert so he wouldn’t have to spend another second listening to her talk about her cats.

Girls, don’t let this be you! Check out these first-date tips:

1. Keep conversations light and fun! No talk of exes, drama, hurts from the past, getting into a serious relationship, etc.

2. Avoid talking about your ticking clock – just don’t even go there, girlfriend! Unless he specifically brings it up, don’t discuss kids or marriage. If he asks if you want kids, answer honestly, and then be done with the topic. And if you want 10 kids, it’s probably best to keep that little fact to yourself for now. Look, ladies, men just want to enjoy your company and get to know you. Kids and marriage are two topics that will scare them off so fast your head will spin.

3. Even if you think he’s the cat’s meow, it’s better to let him wonder how much you’re into him. Remember, men like the

chase! 4. Keep it classy. Different women want

different things. But if you are a gal who would like to end up in a meaningful relationship, avoid talking about inappro-priate topics. Also, flirtation is good, but lewd behavior will encourage him to view you as anything but relationship material. And getting drunk is a big no no. Do you think a guy dreams of having the mother of his children be a lush? Remember, this is a first date, so first impressions mean everything.

5. Have a good time (men want to make you happy!), lighten up and joke around (don’t take things too seriously), ask him ques-tions to let him know you’re interested in him, be grateful for his paying for the date, opening your door, etc.

6. Keep him wanting more. Again, classy is the word. After the date, thank him and go home. Prove to him (by actions, not words) that you are worth getting to know, are worthy of respect and are a great candidate for a relationship!

COMMENTaRYBy gary hubbard

We constantly hear the question, “When should I get my computer cleaned up? It is running really slow, but I just can’t be without it for very long.”

There is always that tradeoff between how slow your computer has become and how long you can be without it. What we have found is that this question is driving many to take shortcuts that cost them both time and money in the long run.

When your computer was new, the only thing running on it was the operating system, possibly an office suite, and hopefully a good anti-virus and anti-spyware program. And it was pretty fast.

Over time, with normal use, a computer will begin to take a long time to boot up when you turn it on. It also will start taking a long time to open programs and files. You’re waiting to see if something comes up, not sure if it accepted your last mouse click. If you’re impatient, then maybe you keep clicking, adding to the problem by trying to open the same thing multiple times.

What has likely happened is that over time you have inadver-tently added many programs that are running in the background, and those programs are using much of your computer’s resources. Many times, we see multiple anti-virus and anti-spyware pro-grams running, and one or maybe none of them are actually up to date. The multiple AV/AS programs will slow your computer, and if they are out of date, they will put your computer at risk.

Correctly cleaning a computer while protecting its programs and data takes several hours. It is very important that you have

someone who will take the time to do this right. Shortcuts can be dangerous

(you may lose all your data) or may only hide the problem for a short time.

Make sure you have a trusted knowledgeable person or com-pany to do this cleaning, and schedule it when you have a few days you can be without the computer. We see many people take advantage of the time they are gone for Spring Break.

As far as protecting your com-puter while you’re away, the best

thing to do is to shut it down and unplug it from the electrical outlet as well as any Internet connection you use. This is the time of year we start getting electrical storms that can do damage to sensitive electrical equipment like computers.

The primary objective is to protect it from any external power anomalies that might occur while you are away. Most people remember to unplug the computer from the power outlet to eliminate any chances of getting “hit,” but they don’t realize that the computer is still exposed to potential power surges through a high-speed Internet connection or even a dial-up modem.

» Lefty gaming mouse – This lefty version of Razer’s DeathAdder gaming mouse has the same slick and subtle curves that the right-handed ver-sion does, just reflected over to the sinister side. And that’s sinister as in left, not sinister as in “sinister.” As far as specs go, the DeathAdder is

more mouse than you’ll ever need (3500dpi Razer Precision 3.5G infrared sensor, five independently programmable “hyperesponse” buttons, and it’s wired as all serious gaming mice are), and it’s yours for $60.

- www.ohgizmo.com

» E-readers to go cheap? – The Wall Street Journal noted last week that Sony has rather quietly dropped the price of its Pocket Reader about $30 to $169. Now, it's actually what amounts to a sale – the price cut lasts only through April 4 – but that date, just two days after the iPad is made available, could give us a little insight into the timing of the drop. The Wall Street Journal also posits that this could be the first in a series of price war moves in the single pur-pose e-reader market which are now facing competition from multi-purpose devices such as the aforementioned iPad and the recently announced Kindle app for tablets.

COMMENTaRYBy dick Wolfsie

My wife and I are very competitive. Take skiing for example. I don’t like skiing. Mary Ellen says she dislikes it more than me. We’ve been arguing about this our entire marriage. We’re equally cutthroat when it comes to not mowing the lawn. It’s exhausting.

Our newest spirited debate involves the Middle East. But it’s not something as mun-dane Israeli-Arab relations. It’s about the trip Mary Ellen and I are taking to Egypt in the fall. Neither of us knew much about that part of the world, so we went to the fabulous display at the Children’s Museum several months ago. Mary Ellen toured the exhibit and learned some of the history of the 4,000-year-old culture, while I stayed downstairs and argued with the ticket lady that the senior discount should kick in at 63, not 65. You’d think these people would know something about the ancients.

Whenever we travel, my wife gets herself all educated about where we are going. She buys books and DVDs and is glued to the History Channel while I’m upstairs watching “The Simpsons.” Then, at bedtime, she drones on about what she learned. I’m amazed that she can

keep so much trivia in her head, but it comes at a price. This is the same person who went 15,000 miles without an oil change.

By the time we get on a plane, Mary Ellen is so knowledgeable about our destination that I’m not quite sure what the point is of even going. In Germany a few years ago, the guide had lar-yngitis, so my wife took over the tour and casu-ally summarized the historical significance of the Rhine River. People were hanging on her every word, and I got jealous, so I grabbed the mic and rattled on about the history of black forest cake, something I had learned at lunch by read-ing a placemat in Dusseldorf.

For this vacation, we are both listening to CDs in our cars, called “The History of Ancient Egypt.” When my wife listens, she retains what she hears. I could probably recall the informa-tion as well, but when I pay attention to the narrator, I end up in Greenwood when I’m sup-posed to be in Tipton.

I finally decided the best way to remember stuff is to repeat it in a conversation, a trick I learned as a teacher when I taught the same class in psychology five school periods in a row. By the time I got to the last class of the day, I remembered all the baloney I had written down

for the first class, but I didn’t have to look at my notes anymore.

I tried the verbalizing technique on Mary Ellen when she walked in the house the other day and mentioned the White River was flooding.

“Funny you should mention that, Mary Ellen. In Egypt, the overflow of the Nile River was actually a good thing, irrigating the land, providing precious water to the crops.”

My wife was mildly impressed by this little gem, so at a party that weekend, I tried to work Egyptian references into my conversations – words like sarcophagus, obelisk and Thutmose III.

That’s the last time we’ll be invited to the McGuires’, because several guests complained to the hostess that I was trying to enlist them in some kind of pyramid scheme.

I can’t compete with Mary Ellen when it comes to learning Egyptian history. And if I even try, she says I have another Tutankhamen.

COMMENTaRYBy Randy Sorrell

Whew. We survived another winter. It seems we have desperately navigated yet

another cold, dreary reality TV series and now we can’t possibly absorb enough of spring’s ex-citement. Like a joyful addiction, we NASCAR home after school and earn a living to escape in our back yards and scrape off winter’s tinged perspective. Why? To “chillax” on the patio – therapeutic laughing, drinking in the peace, firing up the grill, counting the koi and manu-facturing pure enjoyment.

Skillfully managing respectable “return on in-vestment” is certainly mindful, but intentionally planning for insane “return on enjoyment” is much more rewarding. PLANET, our national green industry association, has shown that an immediate 80 percent return on investment (ROI) is common with a professionally designed and installed outdoor living space.

While anemic compared to in excess of 100 percent ROI a few years ago, it’s not unreason-able to believe that with a little inflation and improvement in home values, recovering 100 percent of your outdoor living space invest-ment is likely after a half a dozen years of bliss. Balance with the neighborhood; your home and

budget are key.So how have you spent the first few incredible

weeks of spring? Outside I hope. Be prepared and hunt for every last ounce of fun, family and grilling and create your very own museum of memories.

TIP: Working outside? Wear gloves and pro-tect those early season tender spots. There is always a remnant thorn waiting to buzz your

day. It’s time to cut ornamental grasses and pe-rennials down to the ground before new growth emerges in the next few weeks.

Our system of highly trained physicians includes fellowship-trained, best-in-class cardiologists from the IU School of Medicine, vested in teaching, treating and researching heart diseases and disorders. Found in about 2.2 million Americans, atrial fibrillation, the leading cause of arrhythmia, produces symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness and can generally be controlled well with medication. Left untreated, the risk of stroke, heart failure and heart muscle disease increases, making it essential for you to tune into your body and seek the highest quality care to re-establish your rhythm.
