Edwina Foust after receiving permanent pain relief from headaches.

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

It is our position that the state of Indiana is losing valuable income as a result of its failure to adequately enforce laws requiring residents to purchase Indiana plates for all automobiles. Although Indiana’s budget is much healthier than many states, we can ill afford passing on any lawful opportunity for revenue.

Office parks, manufacturing facilities, and even one’s neighborhood host numerous vehicles with out-of-state plates, often expired! Collective-ly, the loss of revenue from these vehicles denies the state much-needed tax dollars, all the while shifting the burden to law-abiding citizens.

State law requires residents to register vehicles and purchase plates within 60 days of moving into Indiana. Likewise, we must secure an Indiana drivers license within 60 days. Failure to secure these represents a violation of the law, a loss of revenue to the state and a hindrance to law enforce-ment and other officials. No one likes taxes and fees. Yet the current financial situation is causing hardship for all, and “overlooking” these viola-tions may seem harmless to some, but we citizens of Indiana are the losers. Officials must step up enforcement. And if we are unlawful, we must make an effort to find remedy or face the consequences.

Fair share Representative It is our position that a healthy dose of skepti-

cism is warranted whenever a person or group purports to represent a broad demographic. No large collection of people, whether defined by race, religion, geography, social status or other such crite-rion, can possibly possess unanimity in opinion on any topic, yet too often we see a person or organization advance a position on behalf of an entire group.

Sometimes it is simply the loudest voice that drowns out the nuances of opinion within a group. Given his claims, does Al Sharpton represent the views of all African Americans? Does Rush Limbaugh speak for all con-servatives? Other times, a formal association is used to advance a position that is not shared by all members. Many senior citizens join AARP for the discounts that come with membership, but disagree with its advocacy of ObamaCare and other matters of its political agenda.

The media often facilitate this phenomenon by falling into the easy trap of defining the opinions of an entire group by the positions ad-vanced by the most vocal of its members. We, as consumers of media and thoughtful participants in the democratic process, must be alert whenever it is claimed that “a group” thinks “this way.”

OUR VIEWS

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.

Every week, we will print a por-tion of the U.S. Constitution, fol-lowed by a portion of the Indiana Constitution. We encourage you to benchmark government policies against these bedrock documents. Today: the Indiana Constitution.

Section 10. Selection of Justices of the Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals. To be eligible for nomination as a justice of the Su-preme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals, a person must be domiciled within the geographic district, a citizen of the United States, admitted to the practice of law in the courts of the State for a period of not less than ten (10) years or must have served as a judge of a circuit, superior or crimi-

nal court of the State of Indiana for a period of not less than five (5) years.(History: As Amended November 3, 1970).

Section 11. Tenure of Justices of Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals. A justice of the Supreme Court or Judge of the Court of Appeals shall serve until the next general election following the expiration of two years from the date of appointment, and subject to approval or rejection by the electorate, shall continue to serve for terms of ten years, so long as he retains his office. In the case of a justice of the Supreme Court, the electorate of the entire state shall vote on the question of approval or rejection.

COMMEntaRYBy terry anker

As our government continues to push toward yet another temporary tax fix, we can all rest assured the issue is not resolved. Sure, a bill will be passed, and there will be great congratula-tions and chiding from all sides. Some will take credit for assuring the continuance of pet fed-eral programs, while oth-ers will celebrate success in stemming the tide of run-away spending.

But isn’t this debate continuing? Don’t we routinely push and pull to support our own perspective on how and when to use our resources? In times when our collective revenue is down (government rarely makes any money, but instead takes a share of that which it facilitates and we earn), the issue of allocation may be exacerbated. But it remains ever present even in times of great abundance. So if the debate over immediate needs and wants is recurrent, when do we ad-dress the more overarching issues? Can we ever consider the long-term and the short-term contemporaneously?

In our own family, we struggle with the bal-ance between what we give, what we buy, what we invest and what we save. Immediate needs so often seem to dominate more thoughtful consid-eration of building a purposeful future. With the

harvest, we risk over com-mitting, then face shortfall when the seasons change.

So many of us plan retirement, mortgages, college loans and any of an array of moves ever expecting the sunshine to remain, yet rain does fall Ohers never enjoy the blue skies hiding indoors, expecting storm clouds. There have been times

when we’ve raised our collective family “debt ceiling.” A new home, auto or business can eas-ily require the hit. But there are, likewise, times when we retire debt and hold back, in spite of abundance, to refill the coffers. And so the de-bate rages and the perfect answer eludes.

Elusive balance

school graduates in our midst. While some graduating students may view the pomp and circumstance as a long, boring affair, the rest of us might tend to get a little choked up at this rite of passage. Our “future,” for the most part, is headed off to college, where, we hope, the foundation will continue to be built upon so that they may become part of a great next generation. The future is yours, grads. Own it!

One cool story that you will soon hear more about is Forest Park Aquatic Center’s ownership change that occurred more than 14 years ago and the success that has followed.

The facility’s most re-cent success story came during Memorial Day weekend, when a record number of swimmers came to the pool on the Monday holiday.

One thing that could help further boost the facility’s numbers this year is FPAC’s cracking down on freeloaders. Executive Director Holly Carter told me last week that a number of poli-cy changes were made prior to the pool’s open-ing this year to keep kids, and even adults, from sneaking into the pool without paid admission.

In previous years, Carter said, a number of individuals were using membership cards to get inside. Then, they would leave, collect a hand stamp for reentry and pass the card off to a friend who would get in for free.

Now, no more hands are being stamped. Swimmers who pay for daily admission receive a colored bracelet, and members still get in by flashing their cards. But those cards are now required for reentry, so there is no way for some-one to enable a friend to get in for free without

losing his or her own pool access. These bracelets come in a number of differ-

ent colors, with a specific color picked for each day at random. Additionally, the staff will cut the used bracelets of patrons at certain points to prevent them from trying to use them again.

Still, Carter said people will call and attempt to nonchalantly and ap-parently innocently ask which color bracelet is being used on a given day. C’mon. They aren’t falling for that.

Being one step ahead of these people is just one of many good deci-sions that have been made at FPAC in recent years, and as long as the weather remains nice, they should have yet another strong summer.

After last week, they’re off to a good start.• • •

Don’t forget that the city’s Summer Concert Series kicks off this week at Dillon Park. Meat-ball Band will play from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thurs-day in the first of eight summer concerts. Find more information at www.cityofnoblesville.org.

FPAC’s summer is off to a good start

COMMEntaRYBy Danielle Wilson

I go to the grocery store at least twice a week, sometimes more. And on average, I spend about a hundred bucks per visit. Six to seven gallons of milk, five boxes of cereal, two bunches of bananas, yogurt out the wazoo, bread, snacks … you get the picture. The point is, I know my way around Meijer, and I have my grocery shopping down to a fine art. (“I work in dairy the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It’s my true medium. A master.”) Many of you, however, do not. So, in a moment of selfish kindness, I have listed below my steps to an ef-ficient grocery experience.

1. Have a list. This is Grocery 101 here, people. You have to have a list of the things you need or want in order to maxi-mize your budget and shopping trip. This is both to prevent you from buying things not on the list (impulse purchases like Pringles and beef jerky) and to ensure you get everything your family deemed impor-tant enough to actually write on the list. Usually it’s the stuff you don’t know about − husband’s razors, daughter’s deodorant, cat’s food, etc., − essentials that you will most definitely hear about when forgotten.

2. If you patronize superstores, park at the non-grocery end of the lot. You can usu-

ally find a better spot, and the check-out lanes at the retail section tend to be less crowded. You’ll also feel smarter.

3. I shouldn’t have to mention this, but I realize I am dealing with some amateurs here: Always park as close to a cart cor-ral as possible. (And if you’re pregnant or have small children, take advantage of the “Expectant Mothers” spots!) This saves time and energy during the cart-to-car transfer and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Start at the back and work your way to the front (or left to right in a horizontally laid-out store). This prevents backtracking and usually puts you in the opposite direction of inefficient and inexperienced shoppers, whom you must avoid at all times. Pre-tend they are zombies.

5. Only use the self-check line if you have less than 10 items and 75 percent of those are pre-packaged. You are not a profession-al cashier! You do not know from memory the scan code for radicchio!

6. Never get in line behind women over the age of 30 (unless it’s me). I’m telling you straight up, this is one area where men actually have it down. They purchase less, never use coupons, and usually pay with cash. I think it’s because they don’t want

to be there, so they are trying to get out as fast as possible. Me likey!

7. Choose your cashier carefully. Ideally, you want a male. They chit-chat less and can easily be intimidated by your feminine wiles should a discrepancy arise.

8. Sort your goods on the conveyor belt into these categories: cold and frozen products, boxed goods, cans and jars, produce, and smooshables like bread and chips. This allows your male cashier to scan and bag more efficiently, and ensures that dairy and meat purchases stay colder longer. (Doo always teases me about this when-ever I allow him to tag along, but just this weekend I had a cashier actually thank me (right in front of Doo) for my anal reten-tive organization and confirm that this technique does, in fact, speed up check-out. It was a delicious moment for me.

So there you have it, good people of central Indiana. Now go forth and shop efficiently! Peace out.

Recently, my friend called me to let me know, “Your butt called me. What’s up?” This was news to me, and I intended to get to the bottom of it. I mean, who wants their rear rump-ling others’ tail feathers?

Apparently on that same day, my posterior had been quite busy. It had also called my hus-band twice. These cell phone calls may have been unintended; nonetheless, they commu-nicated some of the tail-end details of my day, including what I was listening to on the radio and what I ordered at the drive-thru. I was em-barrassed, but there was no use mooning over what was already done.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been on the send-ing end of these rather embarrassing booty calls. But until now, I haven’t felt a need to put processes in place to avoid them. I’ve also been on the receiving end. A particularly memorable series of such calls were initiated by my friend’s 15-month-old, Lyndsey. My friend was in the habit of letting Lyndsey play with her cell phone when she was on the go and needed a moment without distraction.

The little bugger even managed to set her mom’s phone alarm and inadvertently woke her up in the wee hours of the morning. I’m impressed at the creativity with which this pre-school urchin was able to do her job of depriv-ing her mom of sleep without actually having to

be awake herself! Baby Lyndsey was a surprisingly delightful

conversationalist in contrast to most of my in-coming calls. The same cannot be said for my tush.

Lyndsey’s uncanny grasp of technology en-couraged me to trust my 10-year-old to help me figure out how I can avoid further behind-the-scenes calls. I have occasionally consulted the height-challenged demographic in matters of persistent technology issues and have not yet been disappointed. They are better than Best Buy’s Geek Squad. Something is hard-wired in our youngest generation to understand the backside of pushing buttons. And, you don’t have to pay them.

My son did not disappoint as he took one look at my phone and pointed to a lock symbol. “Would this help?” he innocently asked. I’ve had the phone for three months now and never noticed that little button.

Perhaps Best Buy should consider adding some elementary school kids to their employ-ment rolls – Baby Geeks anyone? That would be a policy I could get behind!

Maybe Best Buy should start hiring kids

The Noblesville Elemen-tary Football League has provided a fun and safe environment for com-munity youngsters to play football and cheer dating since 1967. The not-for-profit league gives hun-dreds of kids ranging from kindergarten age through sixth grade the opportunity to play flag or tackle football or to participate in cheerleading every fall from August through October.

But ask committed and passionate volun-teers who have been involved in the program for many years, and they will tell you that the NEFL gives much more than an opportunity to play football to Noblesville’s youth.

“The league is about giving back to the community by helping create good young men and women,” said Matt Nelis, president of the NEFL board of directors. “We want the kids to know there is more to life than sports and to help them be successful in life later on.”

Nelis believes strongly that the NEFL and the game of football itself teaches kids more important life lessons than basic football tech-niques. Kids, he said, learn virtues of sacrifice, commitment, and teamwork specifically. Nelis

has volunteered as a coach in the NEFL for numerous years in addition to

volunteering as a member of the board.

“We as a football com-munity can have such an impact,” said Board Vice President Jim Wormuth. “We’ve helped create something that really helps Noblesville. It’s

great to be able to give families an hour to an hour and a half on the football field to forget about their problems and allow parents the chance to see their kids being kids.”

Wormuth’s dedication has kept him in-volved in the program since 1999 – long after his own children graduated from the league.

There seems to be no end to the evidence of the NEFL’s outreach to the community. To name a few of the many examples, during the upcoming season the league plans to par-ticipate in food and toy drives in conjunction with the Noblesville Fire Department, wear pink equipment during games in support of breast cancer awareness in October, and host a community day during which the kids and their families can participate in community service projects. Online registration for the upcoming fall NEFL season is available now at www.nefl.net.

NEFL offers more than football

What a thrill for me to be able to do the cover story on Fritz Mills and the cystic fibrosis walk a few weeks ago. He’s one of the coolest people I know, and I admire him. Fritz is coura-geous, kind, and pretty awesome all around.

In the very soggy month of May, the day of the walk was sunny and warm. The total raised for the Noblesville walk was $19,570, with $7,407 of that coming from Fritz’s Fantastic Friends team, surpassing their goal of $5,000. Thank you to all who partici-pated and gave to this great cause.

Mark your calendars for another fun upcom-ing event right here in Noblesville. On June 12, Sid Davis will be hosting his annual cystic fibrosis fundraiser at the Noblesville Golf and Batting Center, located at 14700 Willow View Rd., just off State Road 32 West.

Golf and Batting is open from 12-8 p.m. on Sundays, and Davis will donate gross proceeds from the entire day to the CF Foundation. Fes-tivities will be ongoing from 12-5 p.m. Activi-ties include a driving range, putt putt, batting cages, sand volleyball and Arcade Games.

For the third year, there will also be a corn-hole tournament. Teams of two register for a fee, and the grand prize is half of the total pot

going to the winners and the other half going to the CF Foundation. (If the winner chooses to donate their winnings to the CF Foundation, too, all the better). Contact Davis at www.gol-fandbattingcenter.com or 773-2909 to register. Info can also be found on the Facebook page for

say, since 2002Style and history: Built in a

traditional style, the home was constructed in 1941 and was a show house at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds. It was then disman-tled and moved to its permanent home, a lot that was originally part of the County Fairgrounds. Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong, owners of Armstrong Shoe store downtown, were the original owners. “We’ve heard stories about how well-loved the Armstrongs were in the community, and the wonderful light displays they did for Holi-days and the generous candy they gave out for Halloween.”

What are your favorite features? “We love the extra large lot, the sunroom and the large master bath. There’s a bar room in the base-ment, complete with a gorgeous marble bar that was dropped in when the house was built. We love the house and the way it feels. It’s a cozy, bright house.”

What work have you done on your house? “We owned the house for two years before we moved in. We scraped wallpaper, replaced the floors on the main level, installed a new kitchen

counter and appliances, tore off the old sun-room and built a new sunroom, with a large master bath above it. We finished the basement, have a new garage and redid the landscaping and pond. We plan to put new windows in the original part of the house.”

What do you like about this area/neighbor-hood? “Everything – the friendly neighbors, being close to downtown, and we love living across from the school.”

Garden Thyme at The Old Schoolhouse is the complete opposite of the garden centers at big-box stores, both in its atmosphere and its mission.

Owner Kim Porter bought the property just east of Clarksville on State Road 38 East in 1998 with her husband Dave. She enthusiasti-cally greets customers and carries everything from native Indiana perennials to herbs to heirloom tomato plants. Porter opened Garden Thyme in April of 2002 with three small tables of plants and has grown from there, now in her ninth season.

But she isn’t working to get rich. She’s at-tempting to save the historic two-room school-house on that property.

Built in 1898, the schoolhouse was in a state of severe deterioration and was on the Nobles-ville Preservation Alliance’s Ten Most Endan-gered Structures list the year that she bought it.

Selling plants was “Plan B,” Porter said. “We were initially going to turn this into a restaurant named “Pink Peppercorn.” My favorite color is pink…and the name just rolls off the tongue. Pink peppercorns are unusual, though I didn’t realize they were toxic. A great name for a res-taurant,” Porter said with a laugh.

But she turned to plants once she and Dave got the estimate for bringing the building up to code. The price tag was approaching $500,000, and that didn’t include the equipment needed for a restaurant.

“My husband said to me, ‘I never tell you no. NO,’” Porter said. “He keeps me grounded. I

wouldn’t be here without him.”

Porter saves her profits from the plant sales to fix up the old schoolhouse, and last year she finally got her roof. It replaced the original slate roof, which was too costly to repair. “The next project is windows, and I don’t even have a clue what they’re going to cost. It took me eight years to save enough for the roof, that’s the most expensive thing. Chuck the groundhog is loving it in there now,” she said of the resident elusive groundhog. “I have to get him out of there.”

When her renovations are completed, Por-ter envisions using the building being used as a classroom once again. She plans to hold workshops and other gardening classes in the schoolhouse.

Porter drove by the schoolhouse for years before discovering by chance that it was for sale.

“I couldn’t dial the phone fast enough [to call my husband],” she said. “I just pursued it and didn’t give up. I fell in love with it. I’m still in love with it and just think about it all the time. It’s obsessive.”

It’s quite unusual for a two-room school-house such as this one to still be standing today. “There was a rule back then where kids couldn’t walk more than two miles one way to school, so when you start thinking about that, they used to be every two square miles. Where’d they go? They just tore them down, or they’ve fallen down,” Porter said.

She considers the future of the schoolhouse if she hadn’t bought it. In the shape it was in, it probably would have fallen down by now with-out repair efforts.

“Somebody may have bought it, but of all those who said they wanted to, no one had come up with the money,” Porter said.

Porter’s financial and time commitments aren’t going unappreciated. Noblesville resident Dottie Young’s mother and seven siblings at-tended the schoolhouse from around 1910 through the 1920s, and her great-grandfather,

Charles Zeis, was a township trustee who built the school near the turn of the century. Young recalled that there were once at least six school-houses right around Clarksville. Now there’s only Porter’s, and Young said she’s bothered by the lack of preservation of these buildings.

“It’s the heritage that is lost,” she said. “When they would close them or tear them down, it made me sad. A lot of memo-ries are tied up in there. They were part of the community.”

Porter has spent a great amount of money to keep her schoolhouse standing. When asked for a total on the amount she’s spent, she replied “More than I have!”

“To me, it’s worth a half a million dollars,” she said. “I’ve got that much blood, sweat and tears in it now. I’m attached to it. The goal is to get that building done, and when that building’s done, I’m done. I’m going to go to the beach. I didn’t think it would take so long, but I’ll get it done.”

This Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 3 p.m., Porter will host a Hypertufa pot-making class. Class size is limited so sign up early. Cost is $35. On June 25 at 10 a.m., you can put that Hypertufa to use in a free class in gardening miniatures, such as fairy gardens or tabletop gardens.

Once the Reynolds family farm, the land on which Promise Road Elementary is being built has a history of its own. Donna L. Reynolds recently spoke with Cur-rent in Noblesville and reflected on the family’s ties to the property.

“My parents, Mona and Joe Reynolds, purchased 80 acres, including 7.2 acres of woods, from Bill Collins in 1958. It is from that parcel of land that the land now owned by the Noblesville school system came,” Reynolds said. “In the 45 years my parents owned the land, it was used variously as pasture land for our dairy herd, for grow-ing corn and soybeans and for raising hogs. The woods…were often used for raising livestock but also provided a place for church youth group wiener roasts and wild mushroom hunting.”

Joe Reynolds farmed the land through 2002 before sell-ing it to Noblesville Schools.

“About 10 years ago, as the price of land in the Nobles-ville area began to increase significantly…Larry Jacobi and John Ditslear approached my dad about selling some land to the Noblesville Schools as a site for future school build-ings,” Reynolds said. “Together, they all visited the site the school board members had in mind, a 20-acre plot that fronted on Howe Road, and my father agreed to sell it to them.”

Reynolds added that her father was later approached again about selling the contiguous 20 acres fronting Prom-ise Road to give Noblesville Schools a variety of options for new buildings. He agreed to sell the land while also donating the wooded area.

Though the school district now owns the land, Joe and Mona Reynolds aren’t ready to completely distance themselves from the old family farm. The couple has built a new house about three miles from the farm. Joe has farmed his entire life, his daughter said, and because the couple still owns the original farmhouse and outbuildings on the property, Reynolds said her father still goes out to the farm nearly every day.

“My parents are proud that the land they owned and farmed for nearly half a century will now be used to fur-ther the education of school children for generations to come,” Reynolds said. “All four of their children - my sister Nancy Porter, my brothers Jerry Reynolds and Brian Reynolds, and I - attended and graduated from Noblesville schools, and my parents feel that with this step, they are leaving a lasting legacy in the community.”

Family farm will be Noblesville’s newest school

As a lowly sophomore at NHS last year, I remember feeling pretty indifferent about the seniors leaving. Sure, I worked with a few on the school newspaper staff, and I liked them and all, but it just wasn’t a big deal to me. They had put in their time; it was their turn to leave and start new lives in college. That was just how it worked.

This year, however, I realized my previous indifference may just have been because I had only ever known the class of 2010’s seniors as … well, seniors. From the first day of school in Au-gust when I met them, they were upperclassmen who were leaving the next fall. I expected it.

This year’s seniors, however, I had first gotten to know as juniors, just a year above me.

A handful of them are people I’ve worked with on the school newspaper staff for two years, and al-most as an equal, not an insignificant sophomore.

The class of 2011’s seniors are people I’ve hung out with outside of school, people I’ve actually de-veloped friendships with. Heck, even my boyfriend/best friend of a year and a half is a 2011 senior.

And as I sat in the crowded gymnasium, watching them all stroll up to get their diplomas in their shiny black gowns, I couldn’t believe how sad I was.

What was the big deal? I knew that they would graduate, didn’t I?

I just can’t imagine walking the halls as top dog yet, with all the seniors gone. It’s a scary thought.

I wish them all the best, of course. I know they’ll do great things in college. And I know I have to let go eventu-ally and grow to fulfill

my role as a class of 2012 senior, but I wish they could all just stay and just go to college in Noblesville.

I fully plan on spending as much time this summer as possible trying to accept the fact that I’m a senior now.

I’ll be the editor all the incoming newspaper staff members come to only know as a senior; they won’t really care when I graduate. And for next school year’s juniors, it’ll be strange to imagine the staff without me, or the rest of my fellow classmates.

And come next May, I’ll be the one wearing one of those hideous square caps, accepting my diplo-ma, ready to move on to bigger and better things.

When my older daughter was an infant, I was picking out tile at a home improvement store with her when a kind elderly gentleman stopped to tell me what a beautiful child she was. She was – and still is – a beautiful child, and I was flattered except that the man kept referring to her as a boy: “What a darling little guy,” “He’s so happy,” and so on.

Normally, determining the gender of an infant can be hard: most babies look like some combination of Winston Churchill, Yoda, and a boiled chicken. But clothing can provide an important clue, and on this particular day, my daughter was wearing a purple shirt with pink and green flowers on it and pink, green, and purple-striped pants. Very girly.

In much the same way, most of the time, nouns are good at showing their plurality. Of course, just as in the case of the kind man at the hardware store, some people are going to screw them up anyhow. But in general, they’re pretty obvious.

But what about the nouns clad in green or yellow? You know what I’m talking about: spe-cies, ethics, dominoes, measles. What are they? Singular? Plural? Both?

Unlike the baby wearing an ambiguous color, these nouns aren’t one or the other. They’re

both. There are a few types of nouns that have the same form whether they are singular or plu-ral, but both forms appear to be plural because they end in –s.

The trick in using these stubborn nouns cor-rectly is simply in knowing whether you mean to use the word as a singular or a plural. For example, measles is singular when referring to the disease but plural when referring to the spots on one’s body.

Measles is a viral disease.Drew said his measles were itching.In the case of ethics, when referring to the

study, it’s singular. When referring to moral principles, it is generally plural.

Ethics is a challenging major.The boss’s ethics are questionable.And so on. As with so many word-specific

issues, if you aren’t sure, look it up. It only takes a moment to check the definition online or in a handy pocket reference dictionary (everyone has one of those, right?), and it’s better to be certain than to be wrong.

Is it singular or plural?

» Beware of ‘meat glue’ – Ground beef contains the meat from hundreds of animals from different parts of the world, but the same can be true for prime cut steaks. That’s possible through the use of so-called meat glue, used to “super-glue” small chunks of meat together that are too small to sell, and passing it off as prime cuts. Meat glue is an enzyme called transglutaminase. Some are produced through the cultivation of bacteria, while others are made from the coagulant that makes blood clot. Reports show that the bacterial contamination of meat glued steak is hundreds of times higher than a solid piece of steak, and this practice is used in chicken and lamb, too.

DISPatCHES

By Eric Seaman Current in Noblesville

How does one go about putting a band into a genre when the group has made its own sound? With Tax Brandywine, you really don’t tend to think about it for too long. You typically just sit back, enjoy, and become distracted by a dulcet collaboration of guitar, lyrics, and drums. The uniquely titled group, a band of Noblesville High School graduates, will be strumming out in the Carmel Arts & Design District’s upcom-ing IU Health North Hospital Rock the District concert this Saturday.

IU Health North Hospital, along with the partnership of Carmel Marathon, will host the annual event that spans from the intersection of Main Street and Range Line Road in downtown Carmel. It is here in the cluster of music and people that Noblesville’s own will be command-ing their audience. While performing hits from their debut album Atrocities on the Highway, they will also be selling and promoting it on location.

Pierce Duncan, an NHS 2007 alum and lead-er of the band, commented on their style with the term “last wave rock,” as his band has coined it. Duncan later expanded the vision of his mu-sic by saying, “I wanted to make music that can change and progress…It’s kind of developing.” Fellow group members Johnny Concannon, graduating with Duncan, and Nick Weber, a graduate in 2009, fill out the group.

The band is also right in the middle of record-ing its second album Wonky Tonk, which will be debuted later this year.

They will be performing at the Indiana Live! Casino Stage in the PNC Bank parking lot at the center of the concert at 4 p.m. The day’s concerts begin at 2:30 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. The concerts are free to the public. Other bands will be performing as well throughout the day. Shopping and food also will be available with participating locations having special sales and activities just for the concert.

COMMEntaRY By Susan Beaurain

Has it been a long week at work? A tough day at home? Ever wish you had a temporary escape? A place you could go to relax and play with the family and forget about work for awhile? An escape where the faces that greet you are smiling and are glad you’re there? Just imagine it. It’s within your reach, and all for less than the price of a latte a day.

The Monon Community Center has an Escape pass for every household and a destination for every mem-ber. Escape passes include unlimited access to the entire, modern facility in-cluding: a gymnasium fea-turing three full size courts, indoor pool with lap lanes and slides; a fitness center offering cardio, weight machines and free weights; the KidZone—childcare with a tree house, and one-eighth mile, indoor track, and outdoor water park featuring five pools. Household passes include group fitness classes, which cost a nominal additional fee for adult or senior escape passes.

We often hear the question: “Why can’t I buy just the fitness center or just the pool? It’s the only part I use.” Let us help you expand your escape, try a new workout space, get in the pool, head outside and zip down a slide.

Escape passes pay for themselves in less than one visit per week. Unlike many private fit-

ness facilities, there is never an enrollment fee for the Monon Com-munity Center. You don’t need to be a resident of Carmel either. Our com-munity atmosphere and great pricing are open to anyone.

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation and the Monon Community Center look forward to guiding your escapes this summer and for years to come with a commitment to environ-mental, social and economic sustainability. Come see what we have to offer and unwind/explore/escape with us!

Escape passes make fun and fitness accessible

Susan Beaurain is a division manager of the Monon Community Center. She can be reached via e-mail at [email protected].

The Coen brothers’ version of “True Grit” goes completely sideways from the 1969 film starring John Wayne. It is not really a remake of that iconic Western, but a new interpretation of the novel by Charles Portis.

Jeff Bridges’ Rooster Cogburn is not likely to be confused with Wayne’s. Both played the one-eyed, over-the-hill lawman with a penchant for shooting first and asking questions whenever he felt like it, but the similarities end there.

Bridges’ character seems not merely ill tem-pered but downright morally indifferent to the violence he perpetrates. The only real difference between his actions and those of the men he hunts down is that he has the protection of the law on his side.

Hailee Steinfeld is a revelation as Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old farm girl who hires Cogburn to capture – and preferably kill – the man who murdered her father. Mattie is smart as hell and even more stubborn, and insists on tagging along. Along the trail they throw in with a Texas Ranger (Matt Damon) with similar motives but very divergent sensibilities.

With its deliberately stilted, formal dialogue and black moodiness, the new “True Grit” is an entirely novel take on familiar material.

Movie: A-minus

Breaking news: Mickey Mouse is headed to our 50th state. Disney’s Aulani resort opens in Hawaii Aug. 29. From what I can tell, Disney fans will not be disappointed.

Set on 21 acres within the Ko Olina Resort & Marina development, Au-lani sits on a beachfront cove on the southwest shore of Oahu. It is just 17 miles from Honolulu, giving guests the chance to enjoy the vibrant city but also the peacefulness of a private beachfront resort.

This resort has all the Disney touches, right down to its name. The Hawaiian word Aulani means “messenger of a chief” or “the one who delivers a message from a higher authority.” Is the message to spend time with your family in a lush, tropical setting? If so, count me in!

The resort offers 359 hotel rooms and 460 villas, including studio, one and two bedroom units. All are beautifully decorated in a retro-Hawaiian theme. Disney characters are cleverly

embedded within and throughout the décor. In true Disney style, the resort is loaded with

amenities. Kids can swim in the large family pool or tube through the Waikolohe Stream.

Families can explore the Rainbow Reef, a private lagoon for snorkeling, or check out marine life in the Makai Preserve. Adults can get away from it all in the adult pool (complete with a pool-side bar), unwind in the 18,000-square-foot spa, and/or soak in one of the four whirlpools.

Throw in a couple ex-cursions, and you’ve got quite the vacation. Take the family on a nature hike, kayak through the bright blue sea or try your hand in a cooking

class. Whatever you do, you’ll find Aulani offers Disney fans the same magic they’ve come to know and love in a truly enchanting setting.

The wonders of Hawaii, the magic of Disney

COMMEntaRYBy Barry Eppley

Liposuction remains the most rapid way to lose unwanted fat, albeit a surgical one. While it is ideal for those people who have made every effort to lose on their own through diet and ex-ercise, not every fat area responds the same. Some fat areas are more difficult to lose than others, and certain fat areas can not be re-duced at all except in the face of extreme weight loss. It is these non-metabolically responsive fat areas that justify liposuction intervention.

One of the very good questions any prospec-tive patient should ask is, “Will my fat return?” There are many urban myths, but science and a lot of patient experience provides the following insights.

Fat will not return after liposuction. This is patently false. The reality is fat can return. The results from liposuction are closely aligned with your weight. If your weight stays the same years from now, then so should the result. Fat after liposuction can return just as easily as after weight loss.

If fat comes back after liposuction, it will go to other body areas. This is sort of true, but not to the extent of what was originally removed. A recent published study showed fat suctioned from the stomach and thighs of women created some slight increase in measure-

ments in the arms and upper back a year after surgery. But not to the ex-tent that the women noticed or were bothered by it.

Fat cells are permanently de-stroyed by liposuction. This is not true. Those fat cells that have been suctioned out are permanently re-

moved. But there are always lots of fat cells left behind, as you cannot, nor would you want to, remove them all. While the fat cells left behind may be damaged, they have a great ability to heal and regrow. Because it has been discovered that fat sites have the highest amounts of stem cells in the body, and stem cells can be easily stimulated to grow and transform into fat cells, liposuctioned fat sites are not immune to recur-rance. This may be different with the current use of Smartlipo (laser liposuction), where the heat from the laser energy can cause more fat and stem cell damage.

Despite the effectiveness of liposuction to re-duce unwanted fat, the long-term success of the procedure is highly dependent on the lifestyle habits of the person on whom it is performed.

Sleeping myth – Some people swear that quick naps make them sleepier, but a snooze that’s less than 20 minutes should perk most of us up. Just 10 to 20 minutes is all you need to boost alertness, performance and mood. A nap of 20 minutes or longer, though, may leave you groggy when you wake up, as the brain enters what’s called slow-wave sleep at this point.

» Five good Euro stocks? – Nomura Equity Research has six banks in its European rec-ommended portfolio, five of which trade on U.S. markets. Three are large, diversified regional institutions: UBS (UBS), BNP Pa-ribas (BNPQY.PK) and Lloyd’s (LYG). The others are Bank of Ireland (IRE) and National Bank of Greece (NBG). The last two choices have declined by more than 80 percent and 70 percent, respectively, since Nomura added them to its portfolio in December 2009. You’d be crazy to bet the rent money on them, but if you’ve got money set aside for speculation in the market, then these and the others on the list seem like good candi-dates for a piece of it.

Five months ago, the sector started picking up, adding over 100,000 jobs in December and January, according to data compiled by ADP, a payroll processor. In April, however, businesses with fewer than 50 employees added 84,000 jobs, down slightly from the 100,000 jobs added in March, according to ADP’s most recent report from early May. The positive hiring numbers suggest the sector is strengthen-ing slowly after getting hard hit during the recession.

COMMEntaRYBy Ryan Fuhrmann

During the next couple of years, the International Monetary Fund predicts emerging economies will grow nearly twice as fast as developed ones. It predicts the fastest growth will occur in developing Asia, with China and India leading the way, and projects average growth of 9.6 percent and 8 percent in those countries over the next two years. This trend is nothing new, and emerging Asian markets were mostly unfazed during the credit crisis.

Given Asia is where most of the world’s eco-nomic growth is likely to occur in the coming decades, here are three stock picks to take ad-vantage of this phenomenon.

Banking giant HSBC is based in the United Kingdom and counts on Asia for a third of its sales and more than half of its profits. It bills it-self as the world’s local bank, serving 95 million customers with branches across Europe, Latin America, and parts of the U.S. It got burned during the financial crisis by buying a subprime lender in the U.S., but is recovering. It trades with a low price to earnings (P/E) of 11 and has an appealing dividend yield of 3.5 percent.

MetLife used to primarily be a U.S. life insurer but added Asian exposure by purchasing the AL-ICO division from beleaguered insurer AIG. Like

HSBC, it is a giant financial institution and serves 90 million customers in 60 countries, with 30 per-cent of its total premiums now from overseas and focused on Asia. Its P/E is even lower at less than 9 and its dividend yield is decent at 1.7 percent.

As unlikely as it sounds, car giant General Mo-tors is the market leader in China with a market share of more than 13 percent. China and Asia, in general, still make up a small percent of sales, but a leading position in what is now the world’s largest auto market could eventually start to make a big contribution to overall sales and prof-its. GM is a play on the global auto market, and with a P/E of less than 8, global economic recov-ery, and rapid growth in Asia, it could see solid stock gains in the next couple of years.

Playing in the financial space and cyclical automotive market is not without risk, but the above players should see solid gains in Asia in the coming years. If all goes well, it should even-tually result in higher stock prices.

Three stock picks geared toward Asia

I love that it is finally warm enough outside for popsicles and ice cream! There is not much better then sharing a popsicle with your children, or a friend outside on a warm day.

But when you are looking for something a bit more “upscale” than popsicles, ice cream is a favorite alternative. And it is actu-ally my preference. I love ice cream!

And if you decide to have an ice cream party to cool off in the middle of the summer like I just might do, here is a fabulous way to serve your ice cream: in homemade chocolate waffle bowls!

Homemade chocolate waffle bowls are so easy to make and absolutely delicious! They are soft and just a bit chewy, and they are a great compliment to any ice cream!

(And yes, these can be made without an expensive waffle cone maker!)

CHOCOLATE WAFFLE BOWLSIngredients:• 1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate• 2 tbsp. butter • 2 whole eggs • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1/2 cup granulated sugar • 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour • 2 tbsp. cocoa powder • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:1. Preheat a pan with a flat bottom on a medium-low

temperature.

2. Place the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Stir to combine then set aside to cool for five minutes.

3. Beat the eggs and salt in a small bowl with a fork until well blended. Beat in the sugar until sugar is incorporated and the eggs have light-ened in color slightly, approximately one minute. Stir in the melted chocolate and butter. Add the flour and cocoa powder, stirring slowly until all flour is moistened. Beat another few seconds to incorporate the flour and remove all lumps. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter in the center of the pan. Working very quickly, spread until thin. Cook on both sides.

5. Immediately place the chocolate waffle, into a small bowl to form its shape. Leave in the bowl until it cools completely.

6. Enjoy with ice cream!

» Pencil it in - Opt for eye and lip pencils over liquid liner and lipstick. Their waxy formulas resist dissolution on damp skin; plus, lip pencil under gloss makes the shiny layer last longer by giving it something to adhere to, says Chantel Miller, senior makeup artist for the MAC Pro Team. For super budge-proof color, look for waterproof formulations. Try Ur-ban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye and Lip Pencils ($18 each, Sephora), and store them in your fridge.

Did we go right from early spring (cool and wet) to late summer (hot, humid, dry) in just a few days? With near record temperatures on Memorial Day and the 10-day forecast indicating hot, and more hot temperatures, how can landscaping help reduce my cooling costs?

Have you ever noticed that parks and wooded areas often seem cooler than a street landscape? It isn’t just your imagination: Shade from trees can reduce surrounding air temperatures by as much as 58°C. Tree-shaded neighbor-hoods really are cooler than those with few or no trees.

Recently, Colorado State University research indicated that landscaping can reduce heating bills by as much as 25 percent and cooling bills by 50 percent or more. Through the strate-gic planting of deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves), evergreen shrubs and other vegetation around your home, you can reduce your need for central air conditioning.

Trees are very effective in keeping sun away from your windows, while cooling breezes pass underneath and cir-culate around your house. A 5-7 foot tall deciduous tree planted near your home will begin to shade windows in its first year. If they’re tall enough, they will also help to shade your roof and keep the heat out of your attic. Trees avail-able at garden centers like ours have trees that are identi-

fied by the trunk’s caliber; so a 2 - 2 ½” caliber tree will easily get you the height needed.

Bushes, shrubs, hedges and ground-cover plants also have an important role to play. They fill in rapidly to shade walls and windows, and also help to block heat reflection from patios and pavement. When planted around your central air-conditioning unit, they serve to pre-cool the air going into your home. Remember to keep all shrubs well pruned and remove grass and leaves around the unit to ensure good ventilation and airflow.

Quick-growing, climbing vines on a lattice or trellis are also excellent natural shade devices, especially for patio areas. Planting trees and shrubs in key areas around your home will reduce heating costs as well by providing pro-tection from winter winds and cold. In fact, putting just a little thought into landscaping is a good long-term invest-ment to reduce home heating and cooling costs.

Have a great week, and please let me know how I can help you.

All species of oak are valuable and beauti-ful landscape trees. They are long-lived, easily adaptable and infinitely sturdy.

Many oaks do well in Indiana and make the finest shade trees, particularly the red oak. One particular oak commonly seen in central Indiana doesn’t always fair as well as the others: the pin oak.

The pin oak prefers a rather acidic soil, a low-er pH than our soil offers. When soil is slightly acidic, the amount of available iron in the soil is greater than when the pH is higher, or more alkaline. When there is a disparity between the iron the plant requires and the amount the soil offers, the leaves of the plant display symptoms of a deficiency called iron chlorosis.

Iron is required for the formation of chloro-phyll in the plant cells. Iron chlorosis displays

itself with yellowing between the veins of the leaves. Many plants can suffer from this, not just the pin oak. A plant suffering from iron chlorosis does not usually die, but consistently chlorotic plants can have a shortened life.

Correct iron chlorosis by applying a product like Ironite around the roots of the tree. Keep in mind the roots of a mature tree reach out far past the canopy of the tree, one and a half times, so apply as needed.

When choosing a landscape tree for your proper-ty, test for the soil pH on the site where you plan to plant it, and select your tree accordingly. If the soil pH is higher than 6.5, take a pass on the pin oak.

The problem with pin oak

Beauty, lifespan and versatility are three great virtues of hardwood flooring.

Knowing what kind of wood flooring is avail-able, and what to put where, maximizes those virtues.

Hardwood flooring comes in two basic types: solid and engineered. Solid is just what it says – solid strips of hardwood usually three-quarters of an inch thick. Engineered hardwood looks exactly like, well, hardwood, because that’s what it is, but “engineered” (manu-factured) like high-quality plywood.

The veneer (sur-face you see) on engineered hardwood flooring can be sliced from tree stock like solid flooring, or rotary peeled, which creates dramatic graining.

The functional benefit of engineered flooring is its stability, being far less susceptible to the ef-fects of humidity because it is cross-grained and glued. Not quite as thick as solid wood flooring, engineered flooring is strong in every direction and can be cut into wider planks for a modern and elegant look. Narrower strips give wood flooring a more traditional and busy feel.

Solid wood tends to swell, warp and “gap” between boards in high-humidity environments; therefore it is not something normally installed in a basement or on a cement slab. Engineered wood has several cross-patterned layers glued together, which limits its movement and expan-

sion/shrinkage with the seasons. Solid wood has a lifespan of 100 years or

longer because it can be sanded and refinished, usually up to three times. Engineered floor-ing can last from 40 to 100 years depending

on the thickness of the veneer and can also be sanded and refinished.

Cost, installation and overall value of solid wood vs. qual-ity engineered wood flooring are more or less equal. You’ll want

to talk with a flooring professional to determine what best accommodates your needs, but the decision resides in the application, taste and heart, not so much the pocketbook.

Plentiful and renewable in nature, wood pro-vides a hypoallergenic and easy-to-clean surface that doesn’t harbor mold, mites or microbes.

It’s easy to count the ways hardwood is a great flooring choice.

RElatIOnSHIPS By Kristen Boice

When you are sad, down or feel depressed, how do you handle it? Do you sit and dwell in it or simply feel like a victim of your circum-stances? Do you cry and get it out? Do you do something for someone else? Or, perhaps, you do a little of everything.

One of the most powerful and helpful ways to move through pain, hurt, sorrow or sadness and shift, is to first let yourself move through your feelings and then do something to help someone else. Focusing on someone else helps you put things in perspective and turns your pain into gain not only for you but for others.

Many research studieshave proven that help-ing others regularly is essential to bettering your well-being, moderating mood swings and boost-ing your immune system.

Volunteering or giving back doesn’t have to be something “big” or overwhelming. It can be as simple as a smile, hug,calling a friend that you just thought about, sending a card to someone going through a difficult time or really listening and being with someone in need. You might feel called to volunteer at a soup kitchen, focus on recycling, offer to mow your neighbor’s grass or start a new community project. What you do doesn’t matter as long as you feel like you are contributing by helping others.

Maybe you’ve had an idea or a way you have wanted to make a difference yet you never felt you had the time or didn’t make the time. This could be just the perfect opportunity to make a differ-ence whileturning your hurt into greater good.

I have always loved the “pay it forward” con-cept.“ You don’t need much to change the world for the better. You can start with most ordinary ingredients. You can start with the world you’ve got.” This quote is from the 2000 movie, “Pay It Forward.”

Have you ever purchased coffee or gone through a drive thru and the person in front of you paid your bill? It’s a meaningful way for your contribution to spread wings and stretch further. It’s about paying it forward.

Everyone experiences life’s peaks and valleys. The way we choose to handle these ups and downs is what really matters. Focusing on others during your next down moment can help make the world a better place and might possibly be the best way for you to move out of that valley and into the next happy time in your life. So, think about how you can pay it forward today.

Give back and change your life

gEnEalOgYBy Darla Kinney Scoles

Recently, I opened a book given to me long ago by a fam-ily member who is now well up in years. As I scanned the pages, reading those passages highlighted by this individual painted for me a clear mind-picture of who this person is and what speaks to him. Via his markings, he spoke to me. I was touched by the connection created simply by these yellow-markered sentences.

The thought that immediately came to my mind was that if I wanted to leave a legacy to my own family members, choosing a book and marking it up might be a wonderful, personal way to do so.

Certainly, passing on a documented lineage, journaled scrapbook, or family heirloom are all wonderful ways to leave a bit of family-lore with future members, but not everyone is motivated or capable of such bequeathals. A book, how-ever, is quite doable.

Choose a book that is special to you – one that has changed your life. The only problem here might be choosing just one. No problem. Pass a different book to each of your children or create an “heirloom library” in which a selection

of books is chosen to be kept together and passed by will from one generation to the next.

Passing on the hardback version of a book is certainly a given. Marking the pages with an acid-free highlighter or

permanent red pen further takes a book descen-dants might simply stow on the shelf to one they can leaf through, as I did, and be moved by – as I was.

To make this gift extra special, make a few notes in the margins as messages to future gen-erations. They will love seeing your handwriting and peeking even further into your mind and heart.

Who knows? With the popularity of e-books, an honest-to-goodness hardback tome may even be considered a family heirloom not too far in the future.

Family heirloom? Mark a book and pass it on

HUMORBy Mike Redmond

Summer is here, hooray, which means it is time once again to light the grill and once again experience the Grand American Tradition of food ritually immolated over an open fire.

Cooking outdoors, of course, is Man Cook-ing. This is because all American Men over the age of 18 believe they are born with a special Outdoor Cooking Gene that gives them power over combustible substances, such as charcoal, LP gas, and really cheap hot dogs.

Because they are nice people, women let us have this conceit. The truth of the matter is any-one can be a perfectly competent grill cook, but women stand aside and let men think they are born to it, mostly because it’s just so entertaining.

Here in Central Indiana, the most popular items to grill are steaks, chicken, burgers and brats. For the sake of clarity, grilling brats means cooking sausages, not interrogating the smart-alecky neighbor kids you suspect of demolishing your mailbox.

Of course, the more advanced grillers such as moi are more adventurous in the foods we victimize. I mean select. We might opt to cook a duck, or a leg of lamb, or vegetables, or fruit, or even pizza on our grills.

Anyway, here is a short list of non-barbeque-able foods you newbies might want to avoid:

• Cheese.• Pasta.• Peas.

• Minnows.• Pie.Don’t ask me how I know this. I just do, OK?

Which brings me to another important sug-gestion: Always make sure you have the proper cleaning equipment around. Not only will it re-move the bad-idea food residue, it will go a long way toward cutting down on that pesky pto-maine poisoning by ensuring you always have a safe cooking surface for the food you ruin.

Yes, I said ruin. Let’s take a steak. This should be simple. You take a slab of meat, put it over the fire, cook it a short while, turn it over, cook it some more, and then eat it. Easy, right? No. The trick is timing.

All properly timed outdoor grilled steaks are juicy, tender and cooked to the diner’s prefer-ence. The other 99 percent are either Pittsburgh rare (black on the outside, raw on the inside), or ready to be made into sandals.

Ah, but enough negativity. Let us think in-stead of the glorious summer days ahead and the manly thrill of food on the grill grill. Oh, and don’t forget the cheap hot dogs. Yes, they’re inedible, but they make terrific fuel for your Tiki torches.

But skip the peas. Trust me on this.

FaItHBy Janna lynas

“To God be the glory.” By now it’s been a few weeks since I heard Oprah Winfrey end her 25 year talk show with these words. I listened intently to her carefully chosen words, proclaim-ing reliance on Jesus and ending her show with a powerful statement. I found it quite humbling.

Has anyone ever given you a complement or praise for something you did? It feels great to be ac-knowledged for something you’ve worked hard on or given your all to see it succeed. I often find myself brushing off a kind word about something I’ve done, preferring not to be noticed. But I think I’m wrong about that.

When given a praise and making it seem like nothing, as if what I did really didn’t matter, I’m missing an opportunity to turn the praise back to God. Although I don’t deserve the glory, I unintentionally belittle the abilities and gifts God has given me when I don’t acknowledge my dependence on him (“For we are God’s work-manship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us

to do.” Ephesians 2:10). He is glorified through my actions, my words, even my thoughts.

I’ve dismissed many comments about this article I write every other week. It seems small and insignificant, yet I’ve been stopped in

Noblesville businesses, my neighborhood and my children’s schools, complimented on the few words I try to put together, attempting to speak the truth about my faith. I must admit, many times I’ve said “Thanks,” or “It’s really a great privi-lege,” or “That reminds

me, I’m due to write another one!” Many times, I’ve failed to give God the credit.

I really am just clay, being molded and made into the woman God has designed me to be on a daily basis. Accepting praise on God’s behalf, turning it back to Him, doesn’t come as easily as I’d like, but I’m working on it.

Turn it back to God

Many times, I’ve failed to give

God the credit.

Brewster is a 6 year old male golden Corgi mix. Brews-ter is a very outgoing and active boy who loves to run and play. He is also very intelligent and has managed to teach himself to become an escape artist, so he will need a fenced in yard but will need to be supervised while outside. Brewster is house trained and knows some basic commands and he also very affec-tionate. He is best friends with his brother, T-Bone, and they are very attached to each other and will need to be adopted together and they would be best suited in a home with children age 10 or older.

Frost is a 2 year old male brown tabby DSH. Frost is a friendly guy who is just thankful to be alive after being found in the middle of the road with a broken and frozen tail. He was brought to the shelter in mid-January and was dehydrated and emaciated so he received immediate medical atten-tion. Frost has been in a foster home re-covering from his injuries, gaining some weight and he is now healthy and ready to find his forever home. He has become quite personable and really enjoys attention and having his head and chin scratched. He also enjoys a soft blanket, regular meals and the safety of being an indoor cat.

PEtS OF tHE WEEKCOMMEntaRYBy Rebecca Stevens

Did you know that on any given day, the Humane Society for Ham-ilton County houses anywhere from two to three times more cats than dogs? The spring and summer months are the most challenging for the shelter, as the kittens begin to arrive in droves. That’s why we are pulling out all the stops to make it easier than ever before to adopt a fe-line companion.

For starters, we have flat out elimi-nated Thursdays from our workweek. Effective immediately, every Thursday is now a “Purrsday,” which means all kitten and adult cat adoption fees will be discounted by 50 percent. That’s just $37.50 to adopt the feline of your choice, which includes their spay or neuter, microchip, at least one round of vaccines and 30 days of pet health insurance. Not too shabby!

And for the month of June, which is National Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month, we’re doing something we’ve never done before. Kittens are typically the most popular among our adopters. What many don’t realize is great benefits come from having an adult cat to show a new tot the ropes.

So with every kitten adoption in June, you can also take home any adult “cat nanny” at no charge! Your nanny cat will help

reinforce proper litter box behavior and mentor your new kitten like only another cat can. Now, we can’t guarantee your cat nanny will have an English accent, but we do think he or she will help your new kitten score an A+ as a wonderful new addition to your home.

We are counting on our communi-ty to come to the aid of the Humane Society for Hamilton County and decrease the population of unwanted, abandoned and abused cats and kit-tens in our care. These innocent ani-mals are depending on your kindness and willingness to give them each a second chance. In fact, at this very moment, there is a paw reaching out of a cage or kennel whose only hope is that you’ll be there on the other side.

For more information on animals available for adoption, please visit our Web site at www.hamiltonhumane.com.
