It is our position Hamilton County will be well-served by the re-election of Mayors Jim Brainard in Carmel, John Distlear in Noblesville and Andy Cook in Westfield. After a robust discussion over the past few months, we voters ultimately made our choice last week stating emphatically existing leadership (at least for the largest majority) was on-target. We concur. Hamilton County continues to be a beacon of economic growth and distinction the categories of quality of life, education and stability. These men can take their share of the credit. All have made bold steps to position our communities to take advantage of a growing trend in population and wealth distribution.

However, this election cycle did not pass without raising several impor-tant questions to be considered and resolved during the coming four years. Will there be a taxpayer reckoning for the spending required to realize the ambitious dreams of these leaders? Will, as the saying goes, they come if we build it?

The world is a rapidly changing and evolving place – perhaps now more than ever. Therefore, we intend to continue to expect real answers to hard questions, we believe we have the right leadership for the job.

Capacity to lead Training facilityIt is our position the potential for the con-

struction of a single law enforcement and fire personnel training facility by the neighboring communities of Hamilton County is welcome. Ongoing training for all of the law and fire personnel is imperative to allow them to keep up with new technology and equip-ment. The lack of a local facility requires the personnel to obtain instruc-tion at other locations, and may involve payment by the cities to other entities for training. 

The development is unique because it is apparent a genuine effort is be-ing pursued to accomplish something uniformly beneficial to the communi-ties, without the frequent tug-of-war which has resulted in duplication of efforts and diluting of the effects of actions in each city. A single facility can jointly use the contribution of funding and personnel from the participating cities, and all personnel will have access to the best instructors from all of the units. The completed center should be able to include more equipment to enhance the experience of the personnel because of the cooperation.

We strongly support this budding effort, and hope the communities will throw their visible support behind the project as it matures.

This is some “retirement” Frank Basile is enjoying. The former senior vice president of the Gene B. Glick Co., as you might know, has been the acting president and chief executive officer for The Center for the Per-forming Arts since late July. Basile is a man of many passions, chief among them travel, dining, authorship and, now, seeing to it that the Center rises to the all-important next level. It strikes us that the native Loui-sianan actually is happily un-retired, if you will. He has the staying power – and the blessings of his wife, Katrina, a Realtor - to work consecutive 14-hour days. Too, to-gether they funded an eponymous gift shop, which opens Saturday in the Center; that underscores an even heavier commitment to the facility. In his workweek, when it’s time to grab dinner, Katrina picks him up and they roll away to sample the ample gastro-nomic fare in the area – and then it’s back to the office. He could be off on another “adventure of a lifetime” in a remote outpost on the other side of the world, yet he has no complaints. There will be time for that. In the interim, it’s strictly about making the Center all that it can be, and our community should be grateful to Basile for stepping up and engineering the mission.

• • •We’re confused about the Occupy Wall

Street movement, and here’s why: We’re sure you’re well aware of the whole Solyndra scandal, which ultimately will cost taxpayers $535 million. Back in February, the Energy Department agreed to restructure Solyndra’s loan that allowed $75 million from a fund controlled by a major Barack Obama sup-porter to be ranked ahead of the government (Read: taxpayers) in the event of bankruptcy. Isn’t this the ultimate in cronyism? So, why aren’t the occupiers protesting outside the White House?

Time may heal all wounds, but it wreaks hav-oc on infrastructure. For many years, Carolyn and I lived in a house built in the 1930s. Taking shape during the depression, the home was built at a time when craftsman were, perhaps because of a lack of competition for their skills, able to focus on one project at a time. Plus given then economic conditions, folks expected things to last. By the time we took possession of the home it was a senior citizen and things were in need of repair. We tackled projects in order of signifi-cance in an ongoing and almost perpetual way. We completed infrastructure (think septic) with cosmetic (think interior paint) imagining every good meal includes nutrition and taste.

Now, we are in a house built during a boom time – the late 1990s. Builders could barely keep up with demand. When we made the move, we needed a house ready to operate without failure. Our youngest was in diapers,

business was busy and my mom had just sold her condo and moved in with us. We were not ready for a home of monthly surprises. But now, again time is asserting itself; and I’ve learned. Lifetime shingles last about 12 years. Lifetime windows last about a decade (if one is lucky) and lifetime-manufactured siding lasts even less. We’ve learned the lesson of the fine print – and of folks not standing behind their products. But more than anything, I suppose we’ve learned there is not life without stewardship.

Even as we hoped to avoid caretaking, we are reminded humans consume: Carpets wear out and refrigerators fail after too many ice cubes. But instead of consumers, should we think of ourselves as stewards?

I had the pleasure of participating in a twins’ panel the other night, both as a twin myself and as a mother of twins. Most of the questions pertained to the unique circumstances of rais-ing multiples, but there were a few relevant to parenting in general. So I thought I’d share my responses with you:

1. “Now you’re back to work, do you miss your kids?” No. Nor have I ever. Even when I went back eight weeks postpartum after my first born. I do experience guilt, almost on a daily basis. I occasionally have emotional breakdowns in my car over whether I’m a horrible mom for wanting to spend eight to hours away from short people, but I can’t honestly say I miss my kids. Bottom line? I’m a better mom when I don’t have to focus my attention on nutritional lunches, laundry apartheid, and choosing which day we’re going to contract pink eye from the Children’s Museum.

2. “With four kids, how do you balance all the activities and still have time for family?” We don’t. We try our best, but during soccer season, we rarely eat a meal together. We even limit them to one sport/class per season, but the schedule still

is out of control. Having kids in all age groups where in multiple practices and games a week are the norm, we are chalk-ing up serious mileage. But studies show busy, engaged kids are less likely to end up on drugs or pregnant, so we’re sticking with the crazy.

3. “Do you ever get to spend one-on-one time with your children?” Sometimes, yes. But generally, no. We dedicate the month of January to taking each child out for a special “afternoon” of their design, like Wendy’s goodness followed by Laser Tag madness. If I’m not already asleep by 8:30, I will occasionally crawl in bed with a kid and read for about 10 minutes. I’m not super proud of this lack of parental attention, but no one needs therapy yet, so they can’t be suffering too badly.

There you have it. Enough “Danielle Wilson” fodder for you to make it through the week, whether you’re criticizing or commiserating. Peace out!

Just in time for the holidays...

Current in NoblesvillePatricia A. Logan, 79, of

Noblesville passed away Nov. 5, 2011 at her home. Born Dec. 6, 1931 in Highland, Ind., she was the daughter of Tony J. and Martha Rose (Lemond) Miller.

She was the first female may-or of Noblesville, and the first full-time mayor. She served from 1980 to 1988. She was hon-ored to have received a Sagamore of the Wabash award from Gov. Robert Orr. In recent years she volunteered at Riverview Hospital and served on the Riverview Hospital Foundation. She also championed the purchase of the old Carnegie library and its renovation to City Hall.

“She was an excellent mayor as well as a ground-breaking person in Noblesville’s history as the city’s first female to be elected mayor,” said Mayor John Ditslear. “Her family was extremely important to her as well—she was as devoted to her family as she was to the Noblesville community.”

Logan served as the grand marshal for the

2011 Noblesville July 4th Parade and Fireworks Festival. When Ditslear made the announce-ment he said, “the committee is pleased to honor the work she has done for the city and acknowledge the fact that she and her late hus-band, Jack, have been excellent role models to Noblesville residents through the years.”

She was a long-time member of First United Methodist Church, and Tri Kappa sorority, and served on the founding board of Chaucie’s Place, as well as several civic and charitable orga-nizations close to her heart.

Survivors include her daughters, Beth Logan and Laura Logan; “adopted” daughter Debbie Williams; sisters, Mariolis Traeger and Catherine Martin; and several beloved nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack Logan.

Visitation is 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Randall & Roberts Funeral Center, 1685 Westfield Rd., Noblesville, Funeral service is 1 p.m. Friday at the funeral home. Interment will be in Stock-well Cemetery in Stockwell, Ind.

I’m not sure how it can be November already; everywhere I turn I see glossy Christmas ads and commercials for Black Friday.

If you know anything about me, you can probably guess I’m not a fan of Black Friday and I refuse to shop on that day. From my eco-friendly perspective, the extreme consume-consume-consume mentality our culture fosters leaves a tremendous amount of waste. After Christmas, garbage cans will overflow with wrapping, boxes, plastic shrink wrap, and dis-cards that are “so last year.”

Will anyone be the happier for it? There is also less obvious ‘waste’– the time

spent driving to and from the stores, the gas used to get there and the huge amount of mon-ey spent on unwanted items.

I don’t like a lot of stuff, and clutter makes me twitchy. However, I live in a house with five other people, so I have had to learn to deal somewhat. More “stuff” to deal with is not fun for me.

Last year we gave our kids art lessons, along with a few clothes, toys and books.

It was a great balance. No one was over-whelmed by heaps of stuff, we paid cash all the way, and we supported local businesses. I recycled all the packaging and wrapping (I use newspaper, craft paper and aluminum foil. I also like to use cute fabric bags).

This year I plan to do the same. It’s a con-scious decision to turn away from the market-ing, from the greedy culture always wanting the next big thing. I’ll shop independent stores, dine at independent restaurants, and support lo-cal artisans. They are numerous here and around our town. As an independent artist, I’m grateful people bought gifts from me. I can’t think of a better way to spend my holiday dollars.

For 35 years Sam Watson has been serving food, drinks and smiles to Noblesville custom-ers. On Nov. 27, the Jim Dandy general manag-er’s grin never will be larger than when he rides in the lead car as grand marshal of the annual Noblesville Christmas Parade.

“It’s a blessed opportunity. I’m grateful for the opportunity. I’ve enjoyed this community so much,” said Watson. “I’m waiting for the day to come and see all of the familiar faces out there. It’s just going to be a great atmosphere. I’m go-ing to enjoy it as much as I can because I love everyone in this community I’ve met.”

Few are prouder of Watson representing Jim Dandy in the parade than his coworkers.

“He is a wonderful person; I couldn’t work with anyone better. I think he is the face of Jim Dandy, everyone knows Sam,” said Jane Goff, an employee of five years. “If I would have known Sam was as good of a boss as he is I would have been here sooner.”

“We all love him,” added Juli Tornes. “He’s really good with all the customers. That’s why our customers come in here – to see Sam.”

Watson has been a manager at Jim Dandy for 32 years. Prior to starting there in 1979, he worked for three years at Mac’s Steakhouse in down-town Noblesville (where the Hamilton County Judicial Center is now). During the blizzard of 1978, Watson lived at Mac’s for three nights.

“I was ready to get back home,” he laughed. “We tried to be open but no one was moving around – em-ployees or customers. It was just me and we didn’t have TVs in the din-ing room like we do

now. That would have made it a lot better.”What distinguishes Jim Dandy is its rich his-

tory. Watson’s job has become his second family. He has seen marriage proposals, wedding parties and has a few customers who eat two meals a day there.

“It just adds to the flavor of the business. Families with kids used to come here when they were kids. All of your customers become like your family,” he said. “There’s never been a bad day unless you lose a customer.”

A big fan of the holiday, Watson joked that he had enough Christmas ties to wear every day from Nov. 1 to New Years without sporting the same one twice.

“You love this time of year – everybody’s friend-ly, hugging and having family get-togethers,” he said.

This year’s pa-rade theme is

“The Heart of Noblesville,” which Watson finds particularly fitting. When he started working at Jim Dandy the restaurant was considered on the outskirts of town, but since the growth and expansion of Noblesville the diner has become part of the heart of the city.

“The city has really blossomed,” he said. “You can understand why – the people who live in this community make it great. . . It never felt like a big community here, the people are so receptive and kind.”

Jim Dandy has experienced several changes since Watson began. The restaurant used to pro-vide curbside service but it was done away with

in the mid-1980s. The dining room space has expanded and so too has the menu; however, the classics like the Jim Dandy, Jimbo and tenderloin sandwiches and meatloaf platter all remain.

“We’ve been fortunate we’re still here and plan to be here for a long

time,” said Watson.Although Watson said the

community has been good to Jim Dandy, he also welcomes the economic growth and

new restaurants coming into town.“There’s enough business around here for

everybody,” he said. “As long as the community grows there is room for all of us.”

In addition to providing excellent service on a daily basis for restaurant customers, Watson takes very seriously the responsibility of arrang-ing joyous occasions such as welcome home parties for returning service men and women, as well as arranging somber occasions such as funeral dinners. He also works hard to make the annual Noblesville High School Alumni dinner a big success each year.

“Sam makes all customers at Jim Dandy wel-come, no matter if it’s their first time to the res-taurant or if they’ve been regular customers for years,” said Mayor John Ditslear. “He genuinely

cares about people and that’s why he is so loved and ad-

mired in the community.” According to City

Spokeswoman Cara Culp, the Noblesville resident who

nominated Watson wrote that he always goes the extra step

for people. The resident added that “Sam Wat-

son is a true asset to Noblesville and I feel he should be honored and treated for a day the way he makes his customers feel every day.”

Jim Dandy General Manager Sam Watson named Noblesville Christmas Parade grand marshal

» Parade route – The annual Noblesville Christmas parade will be held at 2 p.m. Nov. 27. The parade will begin at the corner of 16th Street and Harrison Street and will travel south on 16th to Logan Street; west on Logan to Ninth Street; north on Ninth to Monument Street; and east on Monument to 16th Street where it will end. This year’s theme will be “The Heart of Noblesville” and the last entry in the parade will be Santa Claus. Children are invited to stop by Santa’s House after the parade from 3 to 5:30 p.m. and tell him what they would like for Christmas.

Even after the Noblesville Common Coun-cil approved a 1.5 percent pay raise across the board for city employees, administrators and the council were able to create a budget for 2012 that is a 5 percent decrease from 2011.

“We were able to put to-gether a budget that is in the black and gave employees 1.5 percent,” said Administrative Officer Mike Hendricks. “We were able to do this without cutting services.”

Hendricks said city em-ployees are asked to do more as administrators evaluate any open positions and generally do not fill jobs when workers leave unless their position is essential.

“They stepped up signifi-cantly and we’re very proud of what they’ve done,” he said.

The 2012 budget is $69,536,763 compared to last year’s one of $73,322,931. One line item that changed drasti-cally was the debt for the Pub-lic Safety Building – which was $733,000 – was paid off and removed from the books. Hen-dricks said the city was able to keep insurance rates flat and have renegotiated contracts like Republic’s trash and recycling services.

“We reevaluated everything we’re spending and making sure we are making sure we are stretching the dollars as tight as we can,” he said.

Hendricks said one of the major cuts in the budget was keeping overtime down and utilizing departments by cross-ing over into other areas. He said an example was how the street department assisted the

parks department this fall.“We really changed the way we do things,”

said Hendricks. “We looked at what we do and how we do it and reevaluate it without affecting any citizens.”

Coming December 2011

COMMEntaRyBy Kathy Richardson

Before session kicks off in January, there is a lot of preliminary work that must completed. This includes, holding Organization Day, set-ting an agenda and filing bills.

This year’s legislative session is a short session, so all official legislative business must be com-pleted by March 14. But, before we start debating bills on the house floor, we must hold Organiza-tion Day, which is next Tuesday.

As stated in the Indi-ana Constitution, this day serves as the official first day of session. We take care of many proce-dural aspects of the legislative process, such as agreeing to House rules and taking care of any ceremonial events. This day is kind of like the first day of school, everyone is back at the State-house to discuss common goals for the year and how want business should be conducted.

In the next few weeks, each of the four caucus-es will be releasing their agenda for session. Agen-das lay our plans and goals for the year. They are an important tool because an agenda helps our caucus know what ideas need to be drafted into possible legislation. In addition, issues discussed

during the summer study committees will start showing up in the form of bills.

Organization Day opens the window of when legislators can file bills. Legislators have about a month and a half to file any pieces of legisla-tion they want to put forward. Since this year is a short session, House members are limited to

filing only five bills. This is a good time to make sure you have prioritized your legislative issues and begin gaining support for your issues.

In December, members will be sending out a mailer with survey ques-tions on it. This is a great tool for us as legislators to get your thoughts on issues and it gives our

constituents the ability to see some of the ideas that may be discussed. As session preparations continue in the next few weeks, I will keep you updated on what is happening at the State Capi-tol. As always, I urge you to contact me with any questions or comments you may have.

It was a good night for Republican candidates as both races saw victories for the incumbents.

Republican John Ditslear won re-election by a two to one margin against Independent Mike Corbett. Ditslear received 4,283 votes (65.14 percent) to Corbett’s 2,292 (34.86 percent) to earn his third consecutive term as mayor of Noblesville.

“I’m just humbled by the confidence voters placed in me,” he said. “I’m pleased with the turnout.”

Ditslear credited his administration for their work during his two terms.

“I’m proud of our team,” he said. “We serve the needs of Noblesville citizens every day. We’re moving forward and will continue doing that.”

Ditslear said the city is really blessed and pre-pared for further economic development.

“I think because what we have done in the past we are positioning ourselves well. We have the land and team to attract businesses and jobs to Noblesville,” he said. “We still have financial challenges, but will continue to do more with less.”

Corbett said he was proud of his campaign and believes he raised some important issues including the Firestone property, Positron, con-nection of trails and development of the west side of White River.

“I’m disappointed in the percentage,” he said. “We will keep an eye on these ideas and make sure the city continues to move forward.”

Being a first-time candidate, Corbett enjoyed the political stage and the people he met while campaigning.

“It was the highlight of my life,” he said of running. “I’ve met hundreds of new people who all have great ideas for making Noblesville better and I wouldn’t trade that. It was wonderful.”

Republican Greg O’Connor earned a second term as District No. 5 representative on the Noblesville Common Council be receiving 1,270 votes (74.27 percent) to Libertarian can-didate Joseph Patrick Tucker’s 440 votes (25.73 percent).

“It’s very gratifying to have the people living in District 5 vote for me,” he said on election night. “I’ve worked for the taxpayer’s benefit and I’m going to continue to work diligently over the next four years.”

Just like when he ran four years ago, O’Connor said the goals are to grow jobs, keep a balanced budget and maintain services for resi-dents as the city moves forward.

“That’s what they (voters) want me to do and I’m going to continue to do it,” he said.

Despite losing, Tucker said he was really happy and enjoyed the experience tremendously.

“I look forward to attending council meetings as a citizen,” he said.

Tucker previously ran for county council last year as a “paper candidate.” This time around, he said campaigned more aggressively and will use the experience in the future if he decides to run for another position.

“I had a great time talking to the voters,” he said. “I got a lot of experience going door-to-door, out talking at polling places, debating and answering questions (from the media). I got a taste of all these things and this gives me a lot of perspective on how much effort is required.”

Select pieces from some of the most talented local artists are on display at the Hamilton East Public Library Noblesville branch, 1 Library Pla-za, during the 61st annual Fall Art Show present-ed by the Hamilton County Artists’ Association.

“There’s an awful lot of talent in our commu-nity,” said Leroy O’Dell, chairman of the annual art show. “It shows by their artwork here.”

O’Dell said the Plein Air Gathering in June and the fall art show are the two biggest events held by the HCAA. The display, which features 104 paintings from 36 local artists, will be open to the public during regular library hours through Friday. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. now to Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday.

“We’re right there in front of you,” O’Dell said of the show’s location near the main entrance of the library.

Each artist is allowed to enter up to three paintings in the show. O’Dell has three oil paintings in the show – all of farm scenes and landscapes. His pieces include “Hayfield and Barns,” a “Fruit and Vegetables” still life and an untitled abstract of reflections of trees.

“I lived around Noblesville since I was 12. I miss the nostalgic way the place used to be,” he said. “I remember the good ole days.”

Karen Fehr, a member of HCAA for 12 years, said she is excited for the public to view the show and talk with patrons about the artwork.

“It’s so exciting because you paint and you want to share what you create with people,” she said. “I enjoy people and the art show allows me to share my love of art with people.”

Most pieces are available for purchase, but O’Dell said all sales are held over until the exhibit

is over. He added all artists will contribute a per-centage of the sale of their artwork to the HCAA’s scholarship fund, which is awarded annually to a Hamilton County high school senior to help further his or her education in the field of art.

There will also be a Santa’s Shop children’s art gift table with original art objects for $3 or less. The Giclee print of the Noblesville Courthouse by J. Rodney Reveal will be raffled off at the conclusion of the show. Raffle tickets are $1 per ticket or six tickets for $5.

HCAA opens newest exhibit

The HCAA’s Third Annual “Community Creates” art competition is now through Nov. 25 at Hamilton County Art Center & Birdie Gallery, 195 S. Fifth St., Noblesville. Regular Birdie Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. About 50 artists participated last year. Anyone in Hamilton County ages 16 and older was invited to submit two pieces for the contest. For more information, call 776-2278 or visit www.hcaa-in.org.

» November gardening tips – 1. Work a trowelful of bonemeal into the soil around your rosebush, then hill up more soil around the base. 2. It’s never too late to apply lime to your lawn, as long as snow doesn’t stop you from pushing the spreader. The minerals in lime retain their value until the grass is ready to grow again. 3. Give the compost pile a good turning before winter sets in.

DISPatCHES

Explaining the process of writing, researching and becoming a published author were the key top-ics discussed during the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission’s inaugural writer’s workshop Nov. 5.

NCAC Board Member Carla Crandall said the event had an enthusiastic response from its attendees.

“We had every level in attendance – from beginners to published authors,” she said. “The published authors said, ‘oh I wish I had come to a workshop like this when I first started.’”

For the inaugural event, the lower number of attendees provided speakers the opportunity to talk in more intimate, one-on-one conversa-tions. Crandall said approximately 20 people attended the event, which is the first in a series of writer’s workshops.

“This event is going to grow,” she said. “The vi-sion of the NCAC is to advance every level of the arts, but we have yet to expand into writing.”

The all-day intensive workshop covered as-pects of both the craft and business of writing at The Lodge at Forest Park. Experts shared infor-mation to both fiction and non-fiction writers.

David Heighway, the Hamilton County his-torian, didn’t see his role on the expert panel as a writer, but more as a source/reader/critic.

“We historians love to talk to creative people about how to get things correct. All of the inac-curate novels and movies that are out there drive us crazy. With a little research, a writer can add a lot of depth and color to a story. I talked about places that they could go for facts and how some small details can help to illustrate greater issues,” he said. “Novelists have the free-dom that historians don’t to discuss motivations behind actions. It’s nice when they have solid proof for those motivations.”

 Heighway said the workshop was very im-portant because it added to the diversity of arts in the city.

“Noblesville is well represented with visual arts, such as painting, and theatrical arts (most notably with the Belfry). It’s good the Cultural Arts Commission is also encouraging musical performances with the symphony and the band concerts,” he said. “Writing often gets over-looked because it’s not performance or exhibit oriented. It would be great if the city could pro-duce another Cyrus Colter.”

In the past 15 years, Kurt Meyer has pub-lished nearly 500 columns and feature stories in various local newspapers and published two novels and recently released a collection of works called “The Polk Street Review” with fel-low Noblesville author Bill Kenley.

“Things are done for artists, athletes, and all manner of people with other interests, but hav-ing events like this for writers is a bit of a new thing, though Dan Logan organized one last year and it was similarly well-attended,” he said. “My Polk Street project also revealed there are a lot of talented writers out there. So I think the event was more proof that there’s support for this type of event.”

As a writer, Meyer tried to convey the impor-tance of research to new writers.

“I found that the research I’ve done normally isn’t just finding a date or the description of a long past event, it actually triggers ideas that feed my writing,” he said. “I often stumble across fascinating things that take my work in places I never intended in the beginning – which makes it all more enjoyable. So I tried to encourage people to not look at research as a way to fill in a blank in their data, but as a learning, growing experience that could feed their imagination.”

Snapshots: First Friday Soup Cook-offAs the weather turns colder, residents were able to warm up their taste buds and bellies during the annual First Friday Soup Cook-off in downtown Noblesville on Nov. 4. Joe Arro-wood, Noblesville Main Street executive director, said the event is one of the most popular First Friday activities and included soups from eight downtown restaurants. The event was co-sponsored by Current in Noblesville.

One of the most popular First Friday events, the soup cook-off’s crowd caused all vendors to run out of soup an hour before the event ended.

• Choose the right shade.The best way to get great lashes is to start with the right shade of mascara. Black can work on anyone, but for fair-skinned individuals, and those with red hair, try a brown-black for a softer look. • Add Heat Blast your eyelash curler with your hair dryer before very carefully curling the lashes. Squeeze the eyelash curler for a couple seconds once in the middle of the lashes, and once near the tips. • Enhance For a more dramatic look, apply single, false lashes that come in tiny clumps. Using tweezers, dip the lashes in lash glue and place at the outer corner of your eyelid. • Add VolumeA translucent powder at the ends of lashes gives mascara volume and stay-power. Using an eye shadow brush, sweep powder on the ends and tops of your lashes.• ApplyStart with the wand at the root of your lashes and wiggle the brush to your ends. Apply multiple coats for a bolder look, being careful not to let it dry between applications, in order to avoid clumping.

A Guide to Your Perfect Mascara

You've got the lather, rinse, and repeat down, but do you know what it takes nutritionally to have remarkable hair? These 5 foods can help in taking your hair from fine to fabulous.

• Salmon is known for its high amounts of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, iron and high quality protein. The healthy fats can give hair an unbelievable shine while protein is responsible for hair strength. Keep the integrity of your hair with iron and Vitamin B-12, also found in this wonder fish.

• Beans are beautiful. With zinc, iron, biotin and protein, these little power players pack a punch when it comes to nutrition. Biotin deficiency is often responsible for brittle hair. Help keep your locks long and strong by getting plenty of this fiber-rich food.

• Carrots and sweet potatoes are high in carotenoid, which creates the orange color and is an excellent source of Vitamin A, which helps protect your scalp's health.

• Skim milk, yogurt and light cheese are high in calcium and quality protein which are two ingredients that will also help increase hair strength.

• Whole grains help lower cholesterol and prevent thinning hair simultaneously. Don't be fooled by "whole wheat", however. That is not the same as whole grain.

5 Foods for Fabulous Hair

Tired of hearing "you look tired" after a night without as much sleep as you had hoped for? Try these few steps to make sure you glow, even if you don't feel like it.1. Instead of matte foundation, use a light tinted moisturizer. This will hydrate your skin, combating the dry, worn out look.2. Don't opt for your black eyeliner when you are tired. This is too harsh. Try a navy blue liner which will help open up your eyes.3. Use a light pink blush instead of mauve. This color brightens up your skin and creates a fresh look.4. Remember that lip gloss helps bring light to your smile with its reflective nature. Try a shimmery peach, which also gives the impression of plumping your lips.For other makeup and skincare tips, call Salon 01 and book a makeup consultation with a trained esthetician. 317-580-0101.

What do our favorite food, an English Earl, and the 50th state have in common? Here’s the story. The 8th Earl of Sandwich (John Montague 1718-1792) discovered the Sandwich Islands (now Ha-waii). The Earl was a serious gambler who could stand for hours at the gambling tables. To eat and

not interrupt his betting, Mon-tagu ordered a servant to put some meat between two pieces of bread, hence inventing the world’s first sandwich. Since that day in 1762, the sand-wich has become the world’s favorite meal and is the staple of tailgating.

tRaVElBy tracy line

A year ago this month I went topless. It all started at my daughter’s elementary school car-nival. I was checking out the raffle prizes. On a whim, I put my name in for a weekend car rental. To my surprise, I won.

It was May and we had no trips planned. So, I tossed the certificate into my never-ending paper pile. Months later, I found it. What to do with a weekend car rental?

It was a sunny Thursday morning with a gor-geous weekend forecast. I called Enterprise and asked Simon, the sales rep, how I might redeem this rental. Simon suggested I use it, he recommended I upgrade to a convertible. The smile on my face was immediate. I told Simon he was brilliant.

When I picked up the car, I was smiling ear to ear. Simon chuckled at the sight of me: a 40-something mother of three renting a con-vertible just to run errands in.

And so I learned to go topless. I hopped in the convertible, put the top down and went to

pick up my daughter. Next I hit the dry clean-ers, post office and even Wal-Mart. Errands had never been so fun.

Cruising down the highway was highlighted with the sun on my back and the wind whip-ping through my hair. I felt free, like a person again, not just a mother who thanklessly works, drives everyone everywhere, cooks dinner and cleans toilets. I felt 10 pounds lighter and 12 years younger.

The entire weekend was fabulous. I ran er-rands, hit the apple orchard, and even went to lunch with a friend. All too often, I get bogged down with work, family responsibilities and chores. I forget to fill my spirit. My weekend of going topless reminded me enjoying each day to the fullest should be first on my to-do list.

Going topless: A weekend on the open roads

The Emmanuel United Methodist Women’s Group hosted its annual Chicken Noodle Dinner and Bazaar Nov. 5. All proceeds from the event will go to support local and global missions. The delicious homemade chicken noodle dinner included sides, a beverage and various desserts. Guests could also do their early holiday shopping at the bazaar, which featured more than 20 booths, or indulge in treats at the bake sale. Emmanuel United Methodist Church is located at 16000 Cumber-land Rd., Noblesville.

On Dec. 10, Emmanuel invites the com-munity to experience “A Night in Bethlehem” – similar to how Mary and Joseph did when they traveled to Bethlehem for the census and

witnessed many miracles, including the birth of their son, Jesus. Tours will be conducted from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and guests will experience regis-tering for the census; touring the marketplace where you can use all of your senses to taste, see and smell what daily life was like when Jesus was born; and visiting the live nativity.

There’s SNOW place

like Home.While the rest of the Indianapolis area will be stuck inside and constrained by the various ice and snow storms coming this winter, we’ll be living it up at The Stratford!

At The Stratford we don’t have to go outside to get to our granddining room for a delicious, hot meal. We don’t have to drive anywhere to pick out a good read from our library.

We don’t even have to clean up after our parties because the amazing staff here does it for us.

In short, while the rest of the area is digging out—we‘ll be living it up! This could be you this winter, so call 317-733-9560 now and ask our Lifestyle Advisors about the benefits of living at The Stratford. By the first snow of this year—you’ll be glad you did!

» Alcohol linked to cancer – The American Journal of Epidemiology recently released a study that linked alcohol consumption to four different types of cancer. The study measured daily con-sumption and found that any-one who exceeded moderate consumption (defined as one drink per day) were at a much greater risk for developing cancer. But the authors of the study failed to take into ac-count the type of alcohol that was consumed – beer, wine or liquor - not to mention other lifestyle choices of the study participants. Did they eat fried food? Where did they live and what did they do for a liv-ing? All of this could be considered relevant.

» Stop grazing – A few years back, “graz-ing” came into vogue in dieting circles. But a study published in 2010 found that people who eat low-calorie diets feel more satisfied when they eat three times a day compared to six times a day, suggesting that mini meals aren’t beneficial for appetite control. Eating constantly throughout the day increases

salivary secretion and the production of digestive enzymes that stimulate the gut. Instead, divide your calories around three meals and one or two snacks, going at least three hours and up to four or five without eating. The goal is to eat when you’re hungry but not starving, which reduces the risk of overeating.

» New allergy shots on horizon? – New methods of allergy immunotherapy were discussed at last week’s annual scientific meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunol-ogy. Potential new techniques include: 1. In-tralymphatic immunotherapy, which involves injecting allergens into a lymph node. Initial research shows that this approach provides a longer-lasting and more effective response, suggesting the dose and length of treatment could be shortened. 2. Epicutaneous immu-notherapy, which involves lightly scraping a patient’s skin and then applying a patch that delivers the allergens through the blood-stream. Accelerated allergy immunotherapy and the cost benefits of immunotherapy were also discussed at the meeting.

COMMEntaRyBy David Cain

I’ve been without hair on my head so long I don’t even remember what it’s like to brush my hair. However, I’m reminded every morning at my house when screams of terror echo in the kitchen as my girls get their hair brushed. Tangles from a night of tossing and turning, which is a likely outcome when your bedtime is before nine.

Although they are not big fans of having their hair brushed, they love to brush hair. They beg to sit behind their mother and brush her hair for hours. Part of it is getting even, I suppose, but part of it is simply the joy of brushing.

On Sunday, the girls had been brushing for a good 30 minutes when their mother had had enough. She said, “No more!” and sent the girls on their way, brush in hand. They were upset. I wanted to help so I jokingly offered to the youngest, “Jacquie, you can brush my hair.” She stomped her feet and shot me her angry face.

Her sister chimed in, “Yeah Jacquie, you can brush Daddy’s hair,” also in a playful way.

Jacquie reluctantly agreed and marched to-ward me with a hairbrush in hand. She walked up, with the angry face still on display, to brush my hair. She looked directly at me and said with a menacing tone, “Okay Daddy, roll up your sleeves!”

I’d not considered my offer from that perspec-tive. I guess it’s true you should look at things with fresh eyes. This week, in business and at home, I’ll be making it a point to change my perspective and look for new angles on the same old problems. It appears just when you think there are no options, there are options.

SURVIVING DIVORCE - PART IIIIn the event your divorce case does not settle, how can you best be prepared for Court? With more than 15 years as a divorce attorney, Lanae Harden, who chairs the Family Law Practice Group at HARDEN JACKSON, LLC, offers the following suggestions:

First, you must always remember that every action that you take in your divorce proceeding will be judged by the court. Therefore, err on the side of caution and do not behave in a manner that might be viewed unfavorably by the judge if spun the right way by opposing counsel. The easiest way to follow this advice is always put your children’s interests first. For example, if your estranged spouse wants to exchange parenting time weekends for a family reunion, be flexible to allow your children the opportunity to spend time with extended family. Do so even if you know the favor will not be returned when you need to

rearrange parenting time. It is the right thing to do. Plus, the judge will notice that you and not your estranged spouse have placed the children’s interests above all else.

Be prepared for court by requesting that your attorney give you an outline of questions that she will ask you at court. Meet with your attorney prior to the hearing as a practice run before court. Have your attorney play the role of opposing counsel and ask you questions that opposing counsel may pose to you at court.

At court, never be sarcastic or rude to the court, its staff, or opposing counsel. Do not sigh or make negative facial expressions when other witnesses are testifying because the court is taking into account the demeanor of the parties at all times. If questioned about a clear mistake that you have made, own up to the mistake. Do not rationalize, instead make it clear that you’ve learned from the mistake, and it will not be repeated. Give due credit to your estranged spouse when warranted but point out issues that concern you regarding their parenting style or judgment.

Finally, make a reasonable request to the court. Do not assume that you need to ask for more than you believe is fair because the other party will do the same and the court will split the difference. Courts tend to appreciate the party who proposes practical and reasonable solutions to the parties’ differences.

Remember, these suggestions are not meant to be legal advice. You should consult an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation. If you have questions, you may contact our firm at 317-569-0770 or www.hardenjacksonlaw.com.

» Business climate ranks sixth – For the fourth time in as many years, Indiana’s busi-ness climate ranked in the top 10 nationally in Site Selection magazine’s 2011 business climate rankings. Feedback from a survey of national real estate executives and a review of Indiana’s economic development record earned the state recognition as the sixth best place for business in the U.S., up two spots from in 2010. This comes a little more than a month after Area Development magazine rated Indiana’s business climate best in the Midwest and fifth overall in the U.S., ac-cording to a survey of national site selection consultants.

» Women becoming less ambitious? – A survey conducted by More magazine found that 40 percent of women said they’d take less money for more flexibility. And 43 percent of these women (ages 35 to 60) considered themselves less ambitious than they were a decade ago. “Valuing time over money may signal a shift in ambition, and the beginning of a more nuanced definition of success, one that takes into account the many facets of a woman’s life,” said Jennifer Braunschweiger, deputy editor of More.

» Visit the mechanic – Replacing a clogged air filter for about $20 increases fuel efficiency by up to 10 percent, or about 37 cents per gallon at current gas prices. That means it would pay for itself after you’ve driven enough to burn about 54 gallons of gas. An engine tune-up can increase a car’s mileage by up to 4 percent, or about 15 cents a gallon. On a 2010 Ford Explorer with 4-wheel drive, that trans-lates into savings of about $5 per fill-up.

COMMENTARYBy larry greene

ORIGINAL MASTER BATH: This home was built in 1990 in the Springmill Crossing Subdivi-sion on the west side of Carmel. The master bath was the second bathroom of two to get remod-eled. The homeowner noted “We decided to remodel the master bathroom mainly because it was old and outdated. We didn’t like the carpet in the bathroom. We needed a bigger shower. It just needed to be updated.” The homeowners weren’t fond of the large garden tub. “We had a large cultured-marble jetted tub in the master bath. When the kids were little, it was perfect. But our children are now 28 and 24.”

FAVORITE FEATURES: When asked what they like most about their new bathroom, their reply was “Everything”. They added, “We like the big shower, the square-shaped vessel sinks, the tiled floor and the enlarged shower. We have heated floors, too. It’s such a change from what we had before. It feels like a spa in there now. The rain showerhead feels great. We have great water pressure too.”

TUB & SHOWER DETAILS: The old tub and shower areas were totally gutted and new fram-ing for the new tub decking, shower and shower

storage niches was installed. A new Kohler 60x32 Archer drop in air tub was installed with a Delta Vero brushed nickel tub filler. The new shower includes a combined stationary/handheld Delta faucet with a diverter and Delta brushed nickel ceiling-mounted square rain head faucet. The shower area was finished off

with a 3/8” heavy glass frameless enclosure with brushed nickel hardware.

FINAL RESULT: The homeowner commented, “Our kids came home to see the new remodeled bathroom and they think it looks like a hotel bathroom.”

The Holidays are coming!

Call now to schedule your Holiday lighting!

gEnEalOgyBy Darla Kinney Scoles

I attended a bridal shower brunch with all the décor, games, food and frivolity of celebrating young love and the addition of a new family mem-ber. As the bride-to-be opened gift after gift of household goods and registry-list wishes, one gift trumped them all.

The final box to be opened was a humble, re-used cardboard shipping container holding a re-gifted item– but, it drew ooh’s and ahh’s from everyone in the room. Carefully tucked inside plain packag-ing was the grandmother’s fine china, a family heirloom.

More than one attendee noted this was truly the perfect and most emotion-provoking gift one could give a young couple as they set up a household. The beautiful and useful gift links the newest family member with all those who came before in a sacred way.

The same week, my parents came to visit and brought an heirloom gift with them. As they traveled a wide circle to visit each of their offspring, they left an item of familial historical significance at each of their children’s homes.

I was deeply touched at the thought and care-

ful presentation regarding the choosing of my particular gift. The story behind it and the tim-ing of the bestowal made it even more special than it already was in its own right.

Needless to say, I will always treasure it.

We often think of passing on things to our children when we, ourselves, pass on. But how much more precious is the giving when you are there to witness the joy of the recipient receiving the gift? The joy of receiving an heirloom and sharing the feeling

of pride and connection for generations of fam-ily members you never knew is something every heirloom giver should be a part of.

Is there a family heirloom that could be gifted to a loved one this holiday season? If so, it is guaranteed to be a gift not returned or forgotten.
