It is our position that couples should have an open dialog about finances before purchas-ing an engagement ring. The holiday season is here sending men down on one knee to pop the proverbial question to their unsuspecting betrothed: “Will you marry me?” In this day and age, the pressure to purchase the ring of dreams is far outweighing the anxiety of asking the question. Women once judged a man by the size of his cornfield. Now, a man’s proposal of marriage is often judged by the number of carats he is able to purchase in a diamond ring.

Is it fair to put your fiancée in debt by demanding a two carat ring just to keep up with the Jonses? Or is a large engagement ring considered an entitlement or bragging rights by both parties? The newest fad, the man-gagement ring, is now sending the ladies to jewelry stores. Has engage-ment ring shopping become an expensive indulgence leading to financial drains on the couple? It just seems like all the pomp and circumstance of weddings is overshadowing the whole idea of the concept of commitment. Is a girl’s best friend the diamond or her fiancée?

Should size matter? ThanksgivingIt is our opinion that we should all carefully

reflect this holiday season to reach further into our hearts seeking to realize the true purpose and meaning of our celebrations.

As Thanksgiving approaches and we meticulously plan our seating arrangements, menus and decorations, it’s important to reserve time for thought about the things for which we truly are grateful, as well as the many things for which we should but take for granted. Family and friends are our richest resource, especially in difficult times when our other pos-sessions may dwindle or disappoint.

The holidays put us in close quarters. Perhaps we should use that time to strengthen our connection to those around us. Maybe we could try a little harder to have more meaningful conversations, beyond football scores and political com-mentary. Maybe we could institute an electronics-free zone at the Thanksgiving table, if not for the entire day. Maybe we could look each other in the eye when speaking and listen carefully after asking “how are things with you?”

Whether sharing your special days with familiar faces or strangers work-ing together to feed and celebrate with those less fortunate, let’s remember, this season, to make heartfelt, human connections. Happy Thanksgiving!

We understand you haven’t even begun to contemplate the indigestion that comes with gorging at Thanksgiving dinner (You do overindulge, don’t you?), but the holiday season all but is officially in full swing. Dis-counting the Christmas displays we’ve seen in some stores since the Indianapolis Colts were only 0-2, the season now is at hand. With Black Friday bearing down on us, it is with great pleasure that we present to you our annual holiday gift guide inside today’s newspaper. Our art director, Zach Ross; our staff artist, Andrea Nickas; and our manag-ing editors, Robert Herrington (Current in Noblesville), Jordan Fischer (Fishers), Kevin Kane (Carmel) and Lindsay Eckert (West-field) have assembled what we sincerely hope will prove to be an assist to you as you plan activities and shopping excursions. As al-ways, we urge you to please consider patron-izing our local and loyal advertisers; you will be helping them as well as lending a hand in improving local economy. For now, though, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from us and ours – and please pass the Rolaids.

• • •Here’s a shocker: The U.S. Postal Service

ended its 2011 fiscal year on Sept. 30 with

a net loss of $5.1 billion. Use of the service is in decline, down 5.8 percent for first-class mail alone in the reporting period. Had Congress not stepped in and halted a $5.5 billion payment to pre-fund retiree health benefits, it would have been much worse. Staring bankruptcy between the eyes, it will take an “act of Congress” to cut annual costs by $20 billion by 2015. As would the private sector, the USPS needs to streamline opera-tions, and the union needs to understand that there are no tax dollars to float the boat. Horrible stewardship has led to this debacle. There needs to be a new model, regardless of rain or sleet or snow. It can be fixed.

Shakespeare may have been wrong. Perhaps the question is not “to be or not to be.” It seems more common that we ask “to take or to give — who does which.” History is littered with the bodies of those caught in the inevitable ebb and flow of power and money. Capitalism wanes even as communism rises. Free-dom flees as socialism sets up shop. And most assur-edly, the inverse is equally true. While my own intellectual journey seems to be leading to a greater faith in the individual and free markets, others find that a well-managed col-lective state would better serve this planet’s ever-expanding population. Like many, I will enter the fray with pen and toil to share whatever meager insight I’ve garnered from years of reading, working, thinking and living. And I most earnestly encourage others to do the same.

Yet my protests have been confined to a more limited scope. The Kardashian Klan is deleted from my purchasing and viewing repertoire and we often eat local food rather than imported

slop. Impeding or destroying the labor of oth-ers is not part of the package. Tagging the K-emblazoned, spoiled, California Kardashians with graffiti seems more criminal that intellectual. So, I wonder as countless protestors parade point-lessly, how many hours of community service and productive time are being frittered away.

How many shelters could be built with this young, virile labor? How many meals could be served? How many unnecessary illegal immigrants could be expelled? I was raised to believe that if one intends to receive, one must be willing to give. Intimidation, threats and destruction seem less like a protest and more like the mindless and blood-thirsty acts of a mob. Is it

possible that folks at the famed Boston Tea Party demanded free breadsticks or promised destruc-tion to Ye Olde Pizza Hut?

To receive, one must first give

Editor,The Westfield Chamber of Commerce wishes

to congratulate Mayor Andy Cook on his reelec-tion as Mayor of Westfield. The Chamber looks forward to continuing its work with the City in several areas, including economic development.

We especially look forward to assisting in the progress of the Grand Junction and Grand Park developments. The chamber board supports the long-range goal of attracting economic develop-ment through the use of unique developments

such as these projects, and we believe these two, in particular, are needed for the continued posi-tive quality of life for Westfield residents.

We also congratulate Bob Smith on his reelec-tion as a councilman and offer our assistance to the Council upon its request.

Lastly, we congratulate all candidates and the community as a whole for participating in one of our greatest rights, the electoral process.

I’ve been a little bummed out by my Thanksgiv-ing plans this year. As it turns out, Doo and I and the kids will be spending the holiday alone in our house, sans potentially combustible family mem-bers. I am saddened by this—because who doesn’t love an aunt hurling in the turkey or a nephew pooing on the hardwoods? But, I realize I still have much to be thankful for. Here’s my list:

Employment: I am so thankful that both my husband and I still have work. We know several people who have been hit hard by this recession, and though we, too, have faced cutbacks, we’re faring better than most. So a giant thank you to our employers for keeping us close to the life-style to which we’d become accustomed.

Good news: I just found out one of my sisters is having twins! Besides laughing at her behind her back (misery LOVES company), I’ve been thank-ing the Fates for the timing of this announcement. With job stress at an all-time high, hearing such amazing news has really made a difference in my attitude this week. Go multiple births!

Health: The only illness I’m certain my chil-dren have contracted so far is the “FU virus.” Seriously, with the exception of one ear infec-tion and possible food poisoning from an un-disclosed north side buffet, our household has remained quite healthy. Thank you, Baby Jesus!

Craigslist: With Christmas looming and the Present Fund low, Craigslist has been a lifesaver.

Local people are selling everything from aluminum foil to zoo tickets. It’s convenient, cheap and just as fun as eBay, without the meth-like bidding addic-tion. Thank you, Craig, whoever you are, for mak-ing my holiday shopping a bit less painful.

Family: I am truly thankful for my family in-law. I’m not kidding when I say that my clos-est friends are my husband’s siblings and their spouses, and that my mother- and father-in-law are the best surrogate parents a liberal day-walker from Kentucky could have, despite their conservative Republican views. They like me, they really do! Thank you, Powers That Be, for legally binding me to an amazing family.

Readers: As a sometimes mommy-on-the-edge, I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have such a wonderful (and drug-free) outlet for my day-to-day frustrations, triumphs, fears and dreams. And that’s only because I have you reading my articles every week and occasionally expressing to the Current editors both your support and disgust. So thank you, good people of Westfield, for allowing me to share my crazy life with you.

I wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving, and plenty of memorable, non-feces-related moments. Peace out.

Thankfulness nothing to pooh-pooh

Westfield Friends Church members are bring-ing the story of Christmas to life as part of the Westfield in Lights festivities Dec. 2.

The church will feature a live nativity scene at Hadley Park during the annual tree-lighting event.

Although this is the church’s first year to join Westfield in Lights, the live nativity scene has been bringing the biblical story of Christmas to life for three holiday seasons at Hadley Park, located at 100 W. Main St.

Congregation member Becky Weiss said the church usually has an annual Christmas party with holiday-favorite games like white elephant gift exchanges. But this year, the congregation wanted to be a part of the community.

“We wanted to do something for the commu-nity, something to give back,” Weiss said. “It’s

time to spread the meaning of Christmas.”Weiss said the church chose Hadley Park be-

cause of its resemblance to the site of Jesus’ birth. “The gazebo resembled the stable Jesus was

born in,” Weiss said.And like the Biblical story of Christmas, can-

dlelight illuminates the scene and gives the com-munity an opportunity to be bigger than itself.

“We give all of our guests a candle with a note attached,” Weiss said. “Seeing the live animals and the kids’ reactions to an important story can help non-believers, and give them something to think about. We always have members there open to talk to anyone with questions.”

Members of the congregation will also be adding some taste to the holiday event, as they’ll be passing out homemade cookies from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Westfield Friends Church will hold its Christ-mas Eve service at 10 p.m.

Bringing the ‘meaning of Christmas’ to life

» Keltie’s Restaurant and Catering earns national ranking – OpenTable has rated Westfield’s Kelties Restaurant & Catering as one of the “Top 100 American Fare Restaurants in the United States.” The list of winners came from more than 10 million reviews submitted by OpenTable diners for more than 12,000 restaurants in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Anne Poynter, Downtown Westfield Association president, said the recent news shows how Westfield’s residents and businesses are booming. “This is a huge honor for Keltie Domina and her staff, as well as the businesses and residents of Westfield ,” Poynter said. “Recently being voted by Money magazine as one of the best places to live, this news continues to validate the great progress our city is making towards strengthening the community. With committed small business owners striving for excellence, like Keltie, we are confident of more great things to come.”

I have enjoyed watching Westfield grow dur-ing the past few years. Not just with people, but in the great “spirit” of community that con-tinues to blossom. The Downtown Westfield As-sociation (in partnership with the city of West-field) has created many wonderful events to help make this happen, and the upcoming season is another demonstration of this commitment.

The holidays are an important time for a community. We take care of each other through supporting charities and purchasing from local business owners. It is the stuff that creates warm, memories and makes a place become a hometown.

For this reason, I’m thrilled to be chairing the second annual “Westfield in Lights” holiday tree-lighting event in downtown Westfield, at the intersection of State Road 32 and Union Street, on Dec. 2 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Due to the huge turn-out last year, we’ve moved all the activity to North Union Street

(see map!). We’ll have dancers, carolers, com-munity fire pits, horse drawn carriage rides, an indoor winter market with 35 vendors, JoSheWe Gingerbread House Competition, merchant light competition and of course, the Santa House. At 7 p.m., Mayor Andy Cook will inaugurate the season with the lighting of the city tree.

Westfield Friend’s Church will be enacting The Living Nativity in Hadley Park, and we’ll also have Amanda Strong donation sites, and the Boy Scouts will be conducting their canned food drive.

All in all – this is Westfield’s event. Many members make the whole. If you weren’t there last year, make THIS the year to start the tradi-tion for your family.

[email protected] are you? Rotary is a worldwide or-

ganization of more than 1.2 million business professionals and community leaders founded in 1905. Rotary Club members, known as Rotar-ians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

There are 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Clubs are non-political, non-religious, and open to all cultures, races and creeds

Rotarians are ordinary people, doing extraor-dinary things to serve others here and abroad.

What is your mission? The Rotary motto is “Service above self.” Rotary’s main objective is service – in the community, in the workplace and throughout the world.

Encouraging high ethical standards and respect for all worthy vocations has been a hall-mark of Rotary from its earliest days. In their business and professional lives, Rotarians abide by The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do: Is it the turth? Is it fair to all con-cerned? Will it build goodwill and better friend-ships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

How do I get involved? Rotary was founded on fellowship. If one has a desire to volunteer, give back to their community and help fund-raise, then they are a candidate for Rotary. Ex-pressing your interest in Rotary to a Rotarian is a good start. Prospective members are invited to

visit Rotary meetings more than one time. Filling out a Rotary application, followed by an inter-view with the membership committee, culmi-nates with an invitation to join our Rotary Club.

Rotary is for all ages. Youth ages 15-18 may join a high school Rotary INTERACT Club.

When, where and what time do you meet? The Rotary Club of Westfield meets Tuesdays at noon at the Bridgewater Club, 3535 E. 161st St. Fellowship, buffet lunch and guest speaker fill the one hour meeting.

What does your club want to provide for the community? Our Rotary Club strives to demonstrate and provide a community presence in servant hood by supporting community ac-tivities and events.

Our Westfield Rotary Club Signature Local Community Service Project is the Sensory Gar-den at Freedom Trail Park. The Rotary Club of Westfield has partnered with the City of West-field Parks Department to design, build and fund the Sensory Garden features.

Rotary planted over 2,000 plants and flowers intertwining the parks department’s all-inclusive play equipment, spinning and twirl features, tee-pees, and interactive wind chime. These plants were selected to stimulate four of the five senses, smell, sight, sound and touch. The Sensory Gardens are the first garden in Indiana specifically designed for individuals with autism. The park has already become a destination for families all across the State of Indiana.

Frank Basile, interim president and CEO of The Center for the Performing Arts stresses that running the Center is a team effort.

That has been especially true since July, when the sudden resignation of Steven Libman put Basile, a veteran in business management, in an unfamiliar position: running a world-class performing arts center.

To help make the transition to new leadership a smooth one, the Center’s executive staff has taken on greater responsibilities and filled in where they are needed. The running of the entire center – from orchestrating its high-profile galas to managing the soon-to-open gift shop – takes a vast team of professionals. But here is an introduction to some of the people who help bring the Center’s venues to life several times per week.

Meet the people who run The Center for the Performing Arts

Basile was retired when appointed to his current position July 29. He entered retirement in 2008 after serving as se-nior vice president of the Gene B. Glick Company. Now, he’s back to working long hours, arriving before 8 a.m. and not leaving for home until 10 p.m. on most days. But he still eats dinner with his wife, Katrina. She picks him up around 6 p.m. each night and brings him back to the office about an hour later so he can finish his work. “Most of the day is filled with meetings with various staff members, poten-tial donors and sponsors and various other visitors, and handling phone calls and e-mails,” he said. “It has been an abrupt change from retirement, but it’s truly exciting, though I would not want to do it on a permanent basis.”

As head of the Center’s marketing, An-derson oversees current marketing ini-tiatives and develops strategic plans to increase brand recognition and market share within the region and beyond. “I oversee the sales departments including box office and group sales, as well as public relations, ad-vertising, website and print collateral,” he said. Anderson held the same position at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater until joining the Center in August 2010 for a new opportu-nity that he said still excites him. “The top thing that keeps me excited is seeing a community excited and engaged by what the Center and the arts offer to their lives.”

David Anderson Director of marketing

Hatch came to the Center in February 2010 after working as the senior director of finan-cial development for the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis. “My team is responsible for all contributed revenue for the Center’s opera-tions including individual support, spon-sorship, and grants,” he said. Hatch’s team spends its time meeting with potential and current supporters of the Center, securing corporate support and sponsorship and managing events for donors and sponsors. “Philanthropy is the heartbeat of our organization,” he said. “We couldn’t do our amazing educational programs nor could we bring world-class orches-tras without the generous investment of our supporters.”

Jeremy HatchDirector of development

Sadler served as the Marion County clerk before founding the Initiative in 2007. As its executive director, she oversees all of its operations, including educational program-ming, archiving and preserving items and fundraising. But she also works for the Center. “Since Libman’s departure, I have added the additional responsibilities of being team leader for booking and programming for the 2012-2013 season, along with Doug Tatum and David Anderson,” she said. Her primary responsibility and passion, however, is the preservation of America’s music. “My job is about the wonder-ful genre of music known as the Great American Songbook. I love it and making sure that it continues on is a pleasure.”

Doris Anne SadlerExecutive director, Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative

Kelsey joined the Center’s staff in August after serving in the same role at 3DT Holdings in Indianapolis. Kelsey has ex-tensive experience with nonprofits, as she worked for seven years as the director of the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation.

Karen Kelsey Administrator

Baker, who joined the Center in November 2010, said she spends her time making connections and cultivating experiences. “I help develop ancillary programming and experiences connecting our audiences and the community at large with what’s hap-pening on our stages,” she said. “These might take the form of pre-concert happenings – lectures, artist interviews, et ce-tera – or bringing artists into school classrooms or community centers.” And if she could choose one artist to help her do this full-time, it would be an easy selection: Yo-Yo Ma. “My all-time dream ‘partner in educational crime’ would be him.”

Carol BakerDirector of education and outreach

Austin organizes some of Carmel’s big-gest celebrations. The Center’s executive producer joined the staff in February 2010 and works to create and deliver events to support the Center’s brand, including the grand opening gala in January. He also created grand opening campaigns for the Studio Theater and The Tarkington. “This is a career milestone for every-one, which is only appropriate with such a grand perform-ing arts campus. Three openings in a seven-month period is just unheard of.”

Jim AustinExecutive producer

Current interviewed Anderson in July 2010, when construction on the Palladium was not yet completed and he was the project manager, working for Shiel Sex-ton. At the time, he said finishing work on the concert hall was “bitter sweet,” adding “It will be hard to leave it when it’s done.” He didn’t have to. Anderson joined the Center in January and now oversees the maintenance of all three performance venues. He’s a bit partial to one of them, though. “The Palladium is my favorite spot. I led the Shiel Sexton team that built it and I’m very proud of the accomplishment.”

Mike Anderson Director of building operations

After years of working in the media, Hughey said he now helps media outlets “tell the Center’s story.” He joined the staff in February 2010, jumping at the op-portunity to become the Center’s chief storyteller. “I’m an entrepreneur at heart and love being on the ground level of a start-up organiza-tion,” he said. “It’s inspiring to know that we live in a com-munity that embraces music, dance and theater. I’m blessed to be able to share the stories that take place here every day, on stage and behind the scenes.”

John HugheyPublic relations manager

Tatum came to the Center in July 2010 after serving as the executive director of the Folly Theater in Kansas City. As the Center’s general manager, he is respon-sible for the day-to-day operations of the Center pertaining to facility rentals, volunteers, security, parking issues and management of the events calendar of the three venues. Since Libman’s depar-ture, Tatum said he has been more involved in managing the schedule of events and has more input in the selection of artists, and helping to get a new arts center up and run-ning is what brought him to Carmel. “I felt it was a great opportunity to be part of the start-up of a wonderful new performing arts center,” he said. “To be involved with the presentation of the world’s greatest artists in such an out-standing venue is very rewarding.”

COMMEntaRyBy Cheri dick

What’s your family’s favorite holiday tradi-tion? Maybe it’s putting a special ornament on the Christmas tree, preparing a dessert recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation or enjoying a festive holiday brunch at a favorite restaurant.

For many families, attending Civic The-atre’s annual holiday show also has become a time-honored, eagerly anticipated tradition. From “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” to “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Wizard of Oz,” our 97-year-old theatre’s holiday production is always a toe-tapping musical, always colorful, and always family-friendly. It’s no wonder that so many central Indiana families make an evening at Civic Theatre a “must do” every holiday season.

This year’s holiday production at Civic The-atre, “Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka,” promises to be more fun and frivolous than ever! Whether you are singing along with the cast’s spirited rendition of “The Candy Man,” watching the obnoxious Augustus Gloop fall into a flowing river of fudge, or laughing out loud as Violet Beauregarde inflates into a humongous blue-berry, the only question you will have when you leave the Tarkington Theater is: “Who enjoyed

Willy Wonka more, you or your children?” If you have never been to a Civic Theatre pro-

duction, you are in for an unexpected, chocolaty treat. Elaborate sets, colorful costumes, and expert staging by theatre professionals make attending every Civic show a special experience. Add the magic, wonder and glee of a holiday production like “Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka,” and you will think you’re sitting in a theater at the corner of 43rd Street and Broadway Avenue in Times Square.

No kidding! Civic productions are just that entertaining! In fact, Lou Henry, art critic for the Indianapolis Business Journal, wrote this headline about our first show of the current sea-son: “Civic’s blissfully fun ‘The Drowsy Chap-erone’ puts the national tour to shame.” “Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka” promises more of the same bliss and fun—plus dazzling production value. You don’t want to miss it.

“Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka” runs Decem-ber 16 through January 7 in the Tarkington Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts. For tickets, visit www.civictheatre.org or call 317-843-3800.

I predict that you and your family will leave the theater thoroughly entertained and incred-ibly hungry for chocolate. But, hey, it’s the holi-days! Why not?

» Glick Fund provides arts grants – The Glick Fund, a fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation, has announced grants to 27 local organizations totaling $1.6 million. Grants ranged from $5,000 to $250,000. Recipients included the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre, which received $10,000 for operating support.

» More flight cancellations? – The government fined an American Airlines affiliate $900,000 last week for holding hundreds of passengers onboard a small jet on a tarmac for hours. Yet industry analysts now predict that airlines will be more likely to cancel flights to avoid mas-sive fines. “If there’s a 20 percent chance of (a tarmac delay exceeding the govern-ment-imposed time limit), an airline will cancel,” airline analyst Michael Boyd told the Associated Press.

Thanksgiving week tailgate party with Turkey Soup

Making Stock. 1. Remove all the usable turkey meat from the turkey carcass. 2. Break up the larger leftover bones of the carcass so they don’t take up as much room in the pot. Put the leftover bones and skin into a large stock pot and cover by an inch with cold water. Add a yellow onion that has been quartered, some chopped carrots, parsley, thyme, a bay leaf, celery tops, and some peppercorns. 3. Bring this stock to a boil and immediately reduce heat to bring the liquid to a bare simmer. 4. Add about 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of pepper. It depends on how big your turkey is. 5. Cook for at least 4 hours, uncovered or partially uncovered (so the stock reduces), occasionally skimming off any foam from the surface. 6. Remove the bones and veggies and strain the stock through a very fine mesh strainer.Making the Turkey Soup. With your stock already made, add chopped carrots, onions, and celery in equal parts. Add some parsley and a couple cloves of garlic. Add seasoning—poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a chicken bouillon

cube. Cook at a bare simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. Take plenty of the remain-ing turkey meat you reserved earlier, cube it into bite-sized pieces, and add to the soup Add salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes a dash or two of Frank’s Cayenne Pepper Sauce gives the soup a nice little kick. Cool this soup overnight in the fridge or in a pot outside if the temperature is cold enough.Game Day. The morning of the game, you should spoon off any fat from the top of the soup pot before heating. Boil a large bag (16 oz.) of wagon wheel noodles (al dente). Heat the soup. After the soup is hot add the cooked noodles. Pack the soup pot in a cooler surrounded by towels and newspaper. Serve with chunks from a long baguette for dipping.



Parenting Time During the HolidaysThe holiday season can be a dif�cult time if you are going through or just recently divorced. This is especially true for young children. Therefore, we have provided some considerations to keep in mind as the holiday season approaches.

Develop a Parenting Schedule. The Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provides holiday parenting time schedules. However, we understand that those schedules are “guidelines” and do not necessarily work best for every family. While you may want to consider the schedules provided in the Guidelines, making your own schedule better �ts your family. Stick to whatever schedule you agree upon and be courteous and timely dropping off and picking up the children – understanding that each moment with both families is precious for them and that scheduling delays can result in larger con�icts between parents.

Consider Family Traditions. Holiday traditions are one thing children can look forward to even during dif�cult times. If your family has holiday traditions, make every effort to continue them. If the divorce or separation is recent and you believe it may be dif�cult on the children, consider a vacation or begin a new and fun family tradition that the children can get excited about. For example, if, historically, your family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve and the other parent’s family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Day, you should create a schedule that allows the children to participate and enjoy both families’ traditions each and every year. Sometimes, if the holiday traditions are identical, it may make sense to alternate holidays on a yearly basis rather than break-up each holiday into equal parts. This way, the children are able to participate in both homes even if the celebrations are on different days. Alternating holidays on an annual basis can also create more relaxing family holiday experiences as opposed to the stress involved with coordinating schedules.

Communicate. If the children are not with you for the holidays, call them, send cards and/or emails. Consider creating your own family celebration either before or after the actual holiday. Children love celebrations and gifts, regardless of the day and time. Conversely, if the children are spending the holiday with you, you should encourage and allow them to speak with the other parent. If the children are too young to call on their own, help them make or receive a call, and always give the children and the other parent a quiet moment together.

Put the Children First. No matter how challenging your relationship is with your children’s father/mother, please remember that he/she is the parent of your children and, therefore, you should make every effort to respect the co-parenting relationship, striving to keep your children’s best interests as your top priority.

Coordinate gift-giving. Ask the other what he/she plans on giving the children, and share your plans with the other parent. Help your children make a holiday card or purchase a gift for them to give the other parent. Offer to take your children shopping to buy presents for the other parent. For young children especially, holidays are exciting times and they want to give as much as they want to receive. Put personal feelings aside, knowing that building healthy and positive relationships between parents creates a winning situation for the entire family.

Remember that the other parent will be in your life long after the children are grown, so the more you are able to effectively communicate and co-parent, the easier the transition will be on you and your children.

In the largest and most nationally representa-tive study of its kind to date, involving about 19,000 Americans, people with the lowest vitamin D levels reported having significantly more recent colds or cases of the flu. At least five additional studies also show an inverse association between lower respiratory tract infections and vitamin D levels.

» Nutrients affecting weight gain – Being low in vitamin D, magnesium, or iron can compromise your immune system, sap your energy or alter your metabolism. Fix it: While you can try to boost your iron levels by eat-ing red meat and spinach and increase mag-nesium by adding Brazil nuts or almonds to your diet, it’s nearly impossible to compen-sate for low vitamin D without supplements. It could take awhile to find your right dose of

vitamin D. If you take too much, you can get kidney stones. You need to have your blood tested every three months, so your doctor can make adjustments to the dose for you.”

One in 10 – That’s the number of adults worldwide predicted to have diabetes by 2030, according to the International Diabetes Federation. The advocacy group estimates that 522 million people will have diabetes in the next two decades; currently, 346 million people have the disease, according to the World Health Organization. The projected future rise in diabetes cases is based on population aging and demographic changes, rather than the obesity epidemic.

» Study: ED risk linked to meds - Men who regularly take several medications are at in-creased risk for sexual problems , a new study says. In the study, participants who took 10 or more medications were 1.6 times more likely to have erectile dysfunction compared with those who took fewer than two medications. The results held even after the researchers took into account other factors that may increase the risk of ED, including older age, a higher body mass index, diabetes and a history of smoking.

• 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.

InSURanCE Q&a By dena Shepherd Page

Question from Patrick H. from Carmel:I saw an article that said my homeowners

insurance is probably going up. What’s the deal?Response from Dena Shepherd Page:It’s been a rough couple of years for insur-

ance carriers if you’re talking about homeowners insurance. The cost of a homeowners policy is on the rise across the country. We’re here to help you understand why those rates are going up and what you can do to avoid or offset those costs.

I’ll start off with why this is happening. The answer is that we’ve had a sustained rough patch when it comes to natural disasters and weather. Losses exceeded $15 billion from April to June of this year alone. These are the highest losses on record for the second quarter. Let’s recap what has happened: Hurricane Irene ran up the east coast; wind and hail caused more than 20,000 severe weather reports; tornadoes tore across Missouri and Alabama; wildfires blazed all summer in Arizona, Texas and New Mexi-co; ice and snow from Texas to New England; multiple earthquakes with the most significant in Virginia.

These losses also have put a strain on the construction and materials industries, driving up repair costs. This has led to the repair cost of some homes to exceed their market value.

So what’s the plan?First, it is often recommend that you place

your insurance with an independent insurance agent. Independent insurance agents represent a variety of carriers (a carrier would be Travel-ers, Hartford, Erie, Central, etc.) and can get you multiple quotes to find the best fit for you. There also are a couple of ways to offset a cost increase if you get hit with one, such as:

1. Increasing your deductibles exposes you to a little bit more if you have a loss, but can lower your premiums.

2. Policy bundling is a great way to lower your insurance costs, if you don’t have your homeowners and auto insurance with the same carrier.

3. Some carriers give loyalty and/or experi-ence credits. Stay with the same carrier for multiple years and these credits can be added.

Loss prevention can also get you some bo-nus credits. Call your agent and see if adding a burglar and/or fire alarm to your home would qualify you for additional savings.

Why is my homeowner’s insurance more expensive?

COMMEntaRyBy david decker

Privation (n): lack of the usual comforts or ne-cessities of life.

Even the most exciting custom home im-provement project likely includes the discom-forting expectation of strangers intruding and the disruption of household routine.

Don’t despair, prepare! Detailed planning and accurate daily commu-

nication go a long way toward minimizing the intrusiveness of a project. Nonetheless, dealing with the absence of a kitchen or a reduction of available bathrooms requires advance strategic thinking.

Since the work on every custom project is different, working around the intrusions on every project is also different. A couple of basics always apply. Home improvement professionals have to understand we are working in the most intimate areas of the home, and homeowners have to understand that multifunction construc-tion projects are a fertile breeding ground for unexpected challenges.

We develop a master plan with a start-to-finish project work and delivery schedule, backed up by daily (or in some cases, as-needed) communication updates. Before a major kitchen project, we will help the homeowner set up a temporary food prep area (possibly a microwave, refrigerator, hot plate and food storage near a water source). If the flooring/drying phase of

a project will temporarily block access, for ex-ample, to a master bathroom or wardrobe closet, we will communicate in time for the homeown-er to prepare for the inconvenience.

Yes, I’ll admit, we love it when a customer leaves on vacation or moves out during the project so we can work longer hours and get more done without disturbing anyone. Proper planning and communication minimizes the need for the customer to be on-site or on-call to handle spot decisions and questions. Unless the customer knows us from past work, they are typically leery of this, but thorough attention to upfront detail provides comfort quickly.

The whole goal is to provide a great finished project with minimal intrusion. Instead of hav-ing to “do without,” it’s perfectly possible, and even probable, for a homeowner to comfortably “make do.”

Preventing project privations: Prepare!

The Holidays are coming!

Call now to schedule your Holiday lighting!

HUMORBy Mike Redmond

Because I am a man who likes to be prepared, I have recently welcomed a new cat into the house.

You may wonder how this constitutes “being prepared.” Simple: I already had one cat, an orange male named Charlie. However, I find it prudent to have a backup cat ready, just in case Charlie is busy sleeping when I need someone to curl up in my lap while I’m trying to read a magazine, or to sit on my head when I’m trying to sleep.

The new kitten is named Maynard, after May-nard G. Krebs on the old Dobie Gillis TV show. It used to be Woody, but that went against my policy of giving animals names that have some sort of meaning to me. Charlie, for example, was named after jazz great Charlie Parker, continuing a pattern established with his predecessor, an or-ange male named Dizzy, after Dizzy Gillespie.

For my money, Maynard G. Krebs (the “G” stands for Walter) is one of the greatest char-acters in television history, right up there with Barney Fife, Mister Moose and Sonny Drysdale. And I’ve always considered it kind of a shame that Bob Denver, who played him, was more likely to be associated with Gilligan’s Island. Gil-ligan was a dope. Maynard was cool.

Anyway, back to the cats.We’re all getting along splendidly now, but

I can’t say that was the case the day Maynard came home.

Maynard jumped right into the household like

he’d been here all along. He also jumped right onto Charlie, who looked up at me and sighed, as if to say “Why did you do this?” then went upstairs to the guest room and shut the door.

Maynard, of course, was oblivious. He was too busy racing from room to room, looking at the fish tank and climbing onto the furniture. At least, he was until he met my dog, Cookie.

Maynard went into his full Halloween cat routine—arched back, fluffed out tail and that sideways-hopping thing cats do when they think they’re being tough. It’s the feline version of the Ali Shuffle.

Cookie gave Maynard a sniff. Maynard bat-ted her on the nose. Cookie stuck out a paw and pinned Maynard to the floor. Maynard squirmed out of it and sideways-hopped around some more. Cookie looked up at me, sighed, and then went upstairs and knocked on the guest room door.

Things have settled down since then. The cats get along fine now and Cookie puts up with them both. As for me? It’s fun having a kitten in the house again. I like the goofy energy May-nard brings to the place. The backup cat plan is, by all accounts, a meowing success.

It never hurts to have a back-up cat
