It is our position that Hamilton County stu-dents are fortunate to have talented, dedicated, enthusiastic and, above all, effective teachers influencing them on a daily basis. We also find the amount of support and cooperation the teachers get from most parents to be impressive.
We believe that cooperation from both parents and teachers is es-sential in the proper upbringing of our children. They need structure at all times of the day and that can only be achieved by a united effort between the two parties. The teachers we have in Hamilton County are some of the best and most dedicated in the state. Some even spend their well-earned free time working on lessons that will help our students remember the material more effectively. While the students may enjoy the lessons and learn a lot in the classroom, it is the parents who are vital in helping retain that information when they take an active role in helping with homework.
We understand that it can be tough to come home after a long day of work and sit at the kitchen table solving math problems, but without that help, our teachers would be facing a tougher challenge than what is already posed.
Parent-teacher conference Coaches trainingIt is our position that those volunteering to
coach should be highly praised for their willing-ness to spend their free time helping our kids with their respective sports. We also believe that these coaches should go through training when it comes to dealing with our athletes, no matter the age of the player.
All stages of childhood have their separate problems and these ath-letes, hopefully, see their coaches as role models with whom they can talk. We need to be sure that these coaches are trained to deal with problems because giving the wrong information can be disastrous. Not only do the coaches need to know how to deal with their players, but parents also can cause problems that need to be dealt with.
While we understand that the time requirements of coaching are great, we believe that whether they like the idea, they could be put into a sensi-tive situation and need to know how to effectively deal with the problem.
And while we appreciate the time and effort that coaches put in with our players, we believe they should receive the proper training so they can be ready for issues both on and off the field.

We are proud to tell you Current Pub-lishing is the main-stage sponsor for Civic Theatre’s 2011-12 season at The Tarkington. It is our hope that the state-of-the-art facility, which seats 500, will be sold out for every show. The season gets under way Friday, when the curtain goes up on The Drowsy Chaperone one night after the inaugural gala. The Civic now calls Carmel home, and we’re enthused about what it offers Central Indiana arts lovers. It’s important to note that under the leadership of Cheri Lynn Dick, Civic is entering its 97th season and continues to work to raise funds for the organization that has been, and continues to be, a vital part of the Central Indiana’s cultural landscape. Please do your part to help this treasure con-tinue for (at least) another 97 years. To learn how, or to purchase tickets, please e-mail [email protected]. Other shows on the schedule include Brian’s favorite, Amadeus; Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka; Lend Me a Tenor; and Steve’s favorite, Guys and Dolls. We view it all as can’t-miss theatre.
• • •Speaking of proud, how about this: Lau-
ren Burdick, who interned for us while a Carmel High School student, has graduated and now is an Ernie Pyle Scholar as a fresh-
man at Indiana University. That is a lofty attainment, and we’re thrilled for Lauren and her family. She will excel, no doubt, as a rare breed with ink in her blood. We wish her the best and hope you haven’t read the last of her in these pages. Lauren, the door is always open!
• • •Nobody likes to talk about obituaries,
except for some media outlets in our midst. Those death notices represent revenue cen-ters for some of our counterparts. Not here at Current Publishing, though. We will pub-lish those at no cost, because there is no joy in capitalizing on others’ grief. Please e-mail obituaries and photographs to managing edi-tor Kevin Kane ([email protected]).

COMMEntaRYBy terry anker
Thanks to new technologies and electronic media, we are all more connected now than perhaps at any point in the course of human history. Yet, many of us report feeling isolated, even lonely, in the middle of this jumble of human-ity and clanging smart phones. Even with my own business and civic involvements, LinkedIn, while helpful, simply isn’t enough. We seek ways to experience real commonality – the kind that at once binds us to each other and elevates our mutual understand-ing. While we spend hours together every day, week or month, our busy lives and constant distractions often prevent authenticity or even facilitate superficiality.
So at my office, inspired by important mid-century Indiana business, civic and philanthrop-ic leader, Pierre Goodrich, I share a reading list with coworkers (and even my 15-year-old son) each quarter. Each of the five books on the list – actually some are papers or collections of speeches and essays – tends to convey some
topic on my mind or perhaps an important theme currently being considered by the entity. For example, I recently finished William Shake-speare’s Henry V. In my own companies, be-cause of the new responsibilities I’ve undertaken
with Legacy Fund, young managers are now ex-pected to serve in greater capacity and with less supervision in the past. It reminds me of Hal’s chal-lenges in leaving behind Falstaff ultimately to as-sume the responsibility of
rule. Once read, I will meet for lunch, drinks or whatever, one-on-one and on my dime to dis-cuss the book and let us learn more about each other in a much richer and deeper way than I have found sharing a basketball game, a much as I love the Pacers, has yet to offer. How is it that we share with those around us? And, isn’t it bet-ter to understand and think together?

Kelli Huntley got it all wrong in her letter to the editor published Aug. 16. It goes against the grain to yield to bikers, joggers, and walk-ers on the Monon Trail. Pedestrians never have the right of way when crossing a street (unless prompted by a walk sign), so why should they have the right of way simply because they’re using the Monon? When cars in traffic stop to allow Monon users to cross the street, they bring traffic to a quick halt. I have witnessed several
situations that could have resulted in serious accidents if drivers had not been paying careful attention. In this age of constant cell phone us-age by drivers, there is all the more reason to not stop for Monon users.
Please drivers, if Monon users (particularly bicyclers) have come to a complete stop to allow you to drive through, then drive through!
Andy Ray46033
I read with interest your recent article in the Aug. 30 edition regarding “to stop, or not to stop” at various Monon Trail intersections. I agree that traffic should keep flowing and that cars should not be stopping for people on the Monon. At the same time, car versus person is no contest. I do not personally use the trail, so I am not familiar with what, if any, signage is at these intersections. Without doubt, however, there should be signs at each intersection warn-ing users of the trail to watch out for themselves as oncoming traffic will not be stopping; that oncoming traffic has the right of way. It should not simply be a yield sign, but a detailed ex-planation that leaves no doubt that users of the Monon must look out for their own safety.
It is almost a daily occurrence that I see mo-torists and bicyclists either ignoring signs and rules of the road or not paying enough attention to what they are doing, creating the potential for an unfortunate or even tragic incident. I am sure people of that mindset will be using the Monon as well. It’s aggravating to have to ac-commodate those folks, but it creates even more concern for their safety, and the safety of others. It’s time for bicyclists, roller bladers, skateboard-ers, runners and walkers to take responsibility for their own safety. Whether on the Monon or elsewhere, everyone else should know that as well. It’s a simple concept.

DISPatCHES Quickie: Losing a VIP palCOMMEntaRYBy Danielle Wilson
After four weeks, I finally feel I can write about the demise of our son’s pet gecko, Quickie, with-out short-circuiting my laptop with tears.
A few months back, we learned Quickie was in kidney failure; the diagnosis hit our 10-year-old particularly hard. He had received Quickie as a sixth birthday present and watched the tiny lizard grow from two inches to 10. They had been roommates the entire time. Quickie’s infrared heat lamp was the perfect night light; it dispelled closet-lurking zombies and nightmare-starring aliens.
Each time we went out of town this summer, we didn’t expect to see Quickie alive when we returned, so we bid many farewells. It wasn’t until our annual family reunion in late July that our goodbyes would prove necessary. But I lost all composure when we broke the tragic news to our son. At the time, I told myself my pain stemmed from the hurt I knew my son was feeling; any mother would weep with her child while he grieved. I couldn’t possibly be upset by a reptile dying!
I returned home that night to an unusually quiet house, empty except for our tabby, Ginger. I knew I had to do something with Quickie; she had been dead for more than 48 hours, but I just couldn’t strike up the courage to enter our son’s room. I stalled with unpacking, checking
email, even doing dishes. At 8 p.m., I couldn’t find any reason to put it off, and went to the garage to grab a shovel.
The first pang of the metal into the hard dirt down by the creek set off waterworks. I didn’t even try to stop them. I cried for my son, and I cried for myself. Quickie was my first real pet, too. As a child I only had one dog, who ran away after three days, and a couple goldfish that died after a few days. Andrew’s gecko was the only animal with which I ever had a significant hand in raising, and now she was gone.
After completing the shallow grave, I trudged back up to the house to get Quickie as the tears cascaded down my cheeks. I carefully wrapped her in plastic and carried her outside. This time I’m quite certain my sobs could be heard around the neighborhood, but I didn’t care. I managed to choke out a few words before covering her with a rock. It bore a simple, Sharpie-penned elegy: “Here lies Quickie. 2007-2011. V.I.P.”
My 7-year-old came up with the last bit. I know she meant R.I.P., but somehow her initials felt better. For Quickie was our son’s, my, Very Important Pet.

VOlUntEERS By Jeff Worrell
Since January, ribbon cuttings and gala cel-ebrations have taken place on a fairly regular basis, as each of the performance venues at The Center for the Performing Arts open its doors.
The Palladium, the anchor and crown jewel of the complex was first to open, soon followed by the Studio Theater. Then the Tarkington Theater had its big to-do last month. All grand openings received extensive press coverage and audiences enjoyed exceptional performances by big-name celebrities. A great time was had by all and The Center for the Performing Arts is boasting record crowds in its first season. But wait, a fourth venue opened to the public this summer without much fanfare. There was no black-tie event and you cannot find any pictures of celebs pulling up curbside in limos. No, the Rotary Centennial Amphitheater is an outdoor performance area paid for solely with funds raised by the Rotary Club of Carmel.
At the east end of the Center Green area a beautiful stage with grassy seating was dreamed about and is now a reality. No small feat though accomplished behind the scenes and without great hoopla, the Rotary Club of Car-mel paid for the Amphitheater with a $100,000 donation. Please read the number again: $100,000 cash.
Current Rotary Club President Rich Taylor presided over a simple ribbon cutting with
club members and guests in attendance. The completed project, some eight years in the mak-ing, commemorates the Rotary Club’s 100-year anniversary. In 2002, Club President Nancy Cooper first challenged the club to take on the project and raise $1,000 dollars for every year Rotary has been serving mankind through the eradication of Polio worldwide and local com-munity service projects.
The actual anniversary year for Rotary was 2005 and President Craig Sherman publicly announced Rotary Club of Carmel would build the amphitheater. Project committee chairman Jack Stafford kept the project going and both were on hand to cut the ribbon and turn over one of those big billboard size checks to Mayor Brainard on behalf of the citizens of Carmel.
Without doors or walls, the Centennial Am-phitheater is an appropriate gift to the commu-nity. You can enjoy a peaceful moment reading a book all by yourself practically anytime you want, or join neighbors and friends for a sched-uled three-piece folk music concert. Although Rotary has not asked for it, many thanks are in order.
Rotary’s role in creating the amphitheater

Tatum Parker looks like the average 10-year-old fifth-grader, but she is anything but average.
The two-time cancer sur-vivor is a major driving force behind Tatum’s Bags of Fun, a not-for-profit organization that provides entertainment and activity packages to each of the more than 300 children diagnosed with cancer each year in Indiana. Sept. 10 is the annual White Party fundraiser for the organization.
The significance of Tatum’s organization is magnified by the quality and quantity of items in each Bag of Fun. In addition to numerous activi-ties and games kids can play in bed while receiv-ing treatments, each bag contains a high-dollar entertainment device, such as iPods and Ninten-do DS games. Jayson Parker, Tatum’s father, said each bag contains $350 or more in contents.
The Parkers have been raising money since 2008 for Tatum’s Bags of Fun, an idea born from a Bag of Fun Tatum herself received dur-ing her first round of cancer treatments in 2006. “It was an amazing bag,” she said. “It
had everything perfect for a hospital—things I could do in the hospital—and it definitely kept me occupied…My family and I were inspired by the bag and wanted to do them here in Indiana.”
The Krause family started the Gabby Krause Foundation in honor of their daughter, who lost her battle with cancer in 2004. It has been distribut-ing Bags of Fun since 2005 in
Colorado and other states.After Tatum had completed her treatments in
2007, the Parkers contacted Krause’s parents to start a similar organization in Indiana.
“It took a good nine months or so to raise money … and we gave out our first bag in Au-gust, 2008,” Jayson said.
Since then, donations for the bags have steadily increased, thanks in part to corporate donations and events such as the one next week-end. The White Party will be held at the Robert Irsay Pavilion (1303 West 116th Street) from 7 p.m. until midnight. Tickets are $75 each. All proceeds benefit Tatum’s Bags of Fun. For more information, visit tatums.bagsoffun.org.

A local business is inviting the public to join in remembering Sept. 11 in a unique way.
Indianapolis-based Buchanan Group will create what it’s calling the “Field of Flags” on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks at the Oaklawn Memorial Gardens in Fishers. The event will include the placing of 1,000 flags to honor those who lost their lives in the attacks as well as to pay tribute to the men and women currently serving in the armed forces.
“We have put up flags every year in the past since the attacks occurred, but this year we’re going to do a program, too,” said Maureen Lindley, who is coordinating the event for Bu-chanan Group.
The program will begin at 8:30 a.m., and Lindley said it will follow a timeline that mir-rors that of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. In addition to the 100 Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts’ placing the 1,000 flags by hand, the program
will include remarks from keynote speaker, Indi-ana’s Adjutant General, Major Martin Umbarger of the National Guard as well as Josh Bleill of the Indianapolis Colts. Bleill lost both of his legs to a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq in 2006. He now works in community relations for the Colts.
The public is invited to the free event, but flags will be sold for $50 each. The “Field of Flags” will remain in place for about one week after Sept. 11, Lindley said. After that, those who purchased flags at the event will be able to take them home.
There also will be a silent auction at the event, featuring items donated by more than 20 corporate sponsors and individuals. All profits, Lindley said, will be donated to the National Guard Relief Fund, which assists the families of deployed soldiers.
“It is a family event,” Lindley said. “We want to encourage people to bring their families out.”

The skinny on saltProposed USDA guidelines for
2012 could have major impacts on school food. One of the big-gest items in the USDA’s crosshairs? Sodium.
We interact with sodium most commonly as table salt, which is used by food providers as a preserva-tive and flavor enhancer, especially in frozen and canned foods. A USDA food study reported that the typical school lunch can contain anywhere from 1,000 – 1500 mg of sodium, or from 40 - 60 percent of a student’s daily recommended sodium intake of 2,300 mg.
The proposed guidelines would look to decrease sodium levels below 800 mg for a school lunch, with further reduc-tions built in gradually over a 10 year period. Excess sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure, a major factor in stroke, kidney and heart disease. In Hamilton County, school dieticians report proac-tive measures already underway, among them: no-salt seasonings, rinsing canned fruits and vegetables to remove excess salt, and removing salt shakers from the lunchroom altogether.
It’s important to note that a healthy amount of natural sodium is critical to regulate blood pressure and volume, and for muscle and nerve function.
Gone are the days when a student could look forward to a lunch of a heaping plate of French fries and greasy pizza, says Andria Ray, director of nutrition and food services for Hamilton Southeastern school district.
“What anybody thinks about is the old way,” Ray said. “Fatty meats, mashed potatoes and gravy with meatloaf… greasy pizza. Now in school food services, we’ve taken a lot of steps in reducing fats, using lean meats. We’ve taken out all fryers in our elementary schools. Fries are only available at the high school level, and only twice a week.”
Today’s school lunchroom walls are lined with posters about por-tion sizes, varied diet and nutrition. The dessert table now holds fresh fruit and vegetable trays – and the dip is more likely to be hummus than ranch.
The new cafeteria lineup“The biggest push was probably five years ago,” said Sue Dunn,
who has been the food service coordinator for the Noblesville Schools District for 12 years. “All of our milk offerings are now skim or 1 percent. Eighty percent or more of our breads are whole grain or whole wheat, and that would include chicken nuggets and chicken patties. Pizzas have a whole grain crust.”
Noblesville Schools, which will serve lunch to an estimated 65-68 percent of its 9,500 students this year, added a dietician to its staff this year and has phased deep fryers almost entirely out of the district.
“When I first started, frying was very common,” Dunn said. “Fries were a big, big item. We gradually took them off the line, and off the menus, and I think the kids are pretty used to it now.”
The Carmel Clay Schools District has taken a similar, gradual approach to lunchroom changes, according to Amy Anderson, di-rector of food services for CCS.
“People are much more accepting of slow changes,” Anderson said. “You’re not going to take something and remove all of the flavor from it and expect them to eat it.”
Catch-22 in the lunchroomAccording to Anderson, school food services have to strike a
delicate balance between making food healthier and educating stu-dents about what it is they’re actually eating.
“Our hamburgers have cherries in them, because it’s healthier,” Anderson said. “But do you tell kids that, and risk them not eat-ing them anymore? You almost have to write one menu for the kids and another for the parents so they know what they’re actually eating.”
And, according to Nick Verhoff, executive director of business and operations for Westfield Washington Schools, cost is always a factor.
“I get asked by parents all the time, who say they could pack a lunch for cheaper than their students get at school,” Verhoff said. “Well, yes, you could, because you’re not paying labor, and ben-efits, and utilities. And that’s in addition to the food costs.”
Lunch for an intermediate student in the WWS district is $2.50. At Carmel, it’s $2.25. Hamilton Southeastern charges $2.05 for K-6 students, and a K-6 lunch at Noblesville costs $1.75.
But lunches packed by parents can often be a worse option, ac-
cording to Rachel Miller, a dietician for CCS.“I’ve seen students come in with lunches packed with a slice of
pizza, a fruit pie from McDonald’s and a can of soda,” Miller said.HSE’s Ray said her district has ramped up efforts to educate stu-
dents about food nutrition, and has seen positive results so far.“I think a lot of times kids don’t realize how their food has been
modified to make it healthy,” Ray said. “But now, it’s too impor-tant for kids to understand how critical it is they eat healthy and the benefits to them.”
The great soft drink debateWith 17 percent of children in the U.S., roughly 12.5 million,
classified as obese, some schools have received heavy criticism for vending machine and soft drink sales.
Although all four major school districts in Hamilton County do have contracts with Coca-Cola, school officials across the board say the machines are turned off during the day, including lunch time, and some like Hamilton Southeastern have even gone so far as to remove non-soda products such as Powerade from lunch time of-ferings as well.
“It’s too much sugar and electrolytes for students during lunch time,” said HSE’s Ray “I don’t see students doing workouts in the lunch room.”
Hamilton Southeastern recently signed a new contract with Coca-Cola that would bring $130,000 to the district. Although the contract was eventually unanimously approved, board member Sylvia Shepler and others voiced concerns about continuing to pro-vide soda access in the schools.
“I have a philosophical problem with this,” Shepler said. “We’re making money off of our kids’ health.”
Monies received from school soft drink contracts go toward supplementing athletic, support and building funding for districts, said Nick Verhoff, executive director of business and operations for Westfield Washington Schools.
“It’s not the lifeblood of any program,” Verhoff said, “but obvi-ously every bit helps.”
While some states have banned soft drink sales in schools com-pletely, California being the first in 2003, a 2008 study published in the September issue of the “Journal of the American Dietetic Association” questioned a conclusive link between school soft drink sales and childhood obesity. According to the study, authored by Meenakshi Fernandes, then a doctoral fellow at the RAND Cor-poration, students who attended schools without soft drink sales consumed only 4 percent fewer soft drinks than other students.
“We need to take a more comprehensive look at environments around schools, what (students) are doing at home and after school,” Fernandes said in an interview with U.S. News and World Report. “Perhaps we can have a greater impact through interven-tions this way.”
CCS’s Anderson agreed.“A child consumes five lunches a week with us,” she said. “The
average kid eats three meals and a snack every day, so that’s 28 meals a week. That’s 18 percent of meals a week they’re eating with us.”
“We can influence that 18 percent of what they eat,” Anderson said. “I cannot influence the other 82 percent.”

The Indianapolis Greek Fest is the second largest annual community event in Carmel be-hind CarmelFest, but organizers are still work-ing to get the word out to city residents.
“Most of our attendees are from the north side of Indianapolis,” said Greek Fest President Dean Antonopoulos.
The annual two-day festival will be held for the 38th time Sept. 9 and 10, but it has only been in Carmel for three years. The Holy Trinity Greek Ortho-dox Church of Indianapolis, which puts on the festival, moved from 48th Street in Indianapolis to its new location near 106th Street and Shel-bourne Road in 2008.
Though the church and festival moved, many of its longtime attendees followed. Most of the roughly 16,000 people who attend each year reside in the capital city, but Antonopoulos said the church is trying to attract more people from its local community in Carmel.
The event, he said, provides an opportunity for the public to learn about Byzantine architec-ture and the origins of Christianity through the orthodox faith.
Greek Fest isn’t only educational, though. An-tonopoulos described Greek Fest as “a tremendous food and drink experience” with “terrific Greek music played by live bands.” Bands Kosta and The Wave will perform at the festival this year.
New to Greek Fest this year are small menu changes – such as the addition of ice cream and
beer from Indianapolis brewing company Sun King – and more noticeable ones like a craft area for children and free parking.
Attendees can park for free this year at the Riley Farm at 106th Street and Towne Road, Antonopoulos said. From there,
a shuttle service will take guests to the festival. This year’s changes also include an offer for
free admission. Those who contribute to the church’s canned food drive by bringing in three canned food items between noon and 4 p.m. on Saturday will be admitted to the festival for free. More information on tickets and the festival is available at www.IndyGreekFest.org.
“We’ve noticed a tremendous spike in atten-dance since our first year here in 2009,” Anto-nopoulos said.
Now the church is hoping the number of Carmel residents attending the event continues to grow, too.

In her work environment at the Carmel family law firm of Holling-sworth & Zivitz, Casandra Ringles-paugh has found the ideal mentor in more ways than one.
By day, Ringlespaugh is a law clerk at H&Z Law and soon will be an attorney. By night, however, she’s a member of the Indianapolis Colts cheerlead-ing squad. And as luck would have it, Ringles-paugh now has a double mentor of sorts.
Her name is Christina Zivitz, partner at Hol-lingsworth & Zivitz and a four-year Colts cheer-leader in the early 2000s. Today she remains involved with the NFL Cheerleader Alumni, not to mention mentoring Ringlespaugh on two fronts.
What does the “old veteran” cheerleader Zivitz have to say about balancing a legal career and her on-the-field experience with the Colts?
“It gave me the continued confidence to chal-lenge myself despite the demands,” she said. “I learned how important it is to play, enjoy life and have fun outside the day-to-day grind of a stressful career.”
Her best advice to the rookie cheerleader:
Soak it all in without losing herself in the process.
For Ringlespaugh, being part of the Colts team is the climax of an almost lifelong cheerleading career.
“One day I was just a normal law student and the next I am making appearances and people actually want my autograph. It’s amazing!” she said. “It has also helped with
discipline. I have to eat right and workout a lot to make sure I am in tip-top shape, while bal-ancing everything else.”
“Everything else” includes her work at Hol-lingsworth & Zivitz and her final year of law school.
Today, her strenuous schedule begins as early as 6 a.m. and can last well into the nights, but
at a firm where every member of the staff bleeds Colts blue, Ringlespaugh’s additional role as a cheerleader couldn’t make her bosses happier.
And by the way, when asked how the Colts will do this year:
“This season is going to be record breaking!” she said. “I think we are going to be the first team in the NFL to win the Super Bowl in our own stadium! Go Colts!”

major milestone for his film company.Scott is the president of Tyscot Film and En-
tertainment, and for the past month the com-pany’s first film has been airing multiple times per week on Showtime. Next Friday, Sept. 9 at 6 p.m., the 2010 movie, Blessed and Cursed, will be shown on The Movie Channel.
“We’re excited that our first movie and this new endeavor has experienced this level of suc-cess,” Scott said. “It’s unheard of to have an independent studio to be picked up by several broadcasters, including Showtime.”
Blessed and Cursed depicts the biblical strug-gle of Saul and David with a modern-day twist. Deitrick Haddon plays Dwight Hawkins, an
aspiring and gifted gospel singer who suddenly goes from humble novice to overnight sensation when he is hired as the minister of music at one of the Detroit’s most popular churches. What starts out as a dream come true soon quickly becomes a nightmare as Dwight’s ambitions are thwarted but an unlikely source.

» September gardening tips – 1. Check coniferous trees for tip damage on new growth. If the tips have been mutilated by borers or otherwise damaged, remove them and establish a new leader by forcing a new side shoot into an upright position. 2. Young trees should be staked to prevent the roots from being pulled by fall and winter winds. 3. As perennials fade away, mark their locations with small sticks. Some might not be appar-ent after the winter and spring cultivating.

COMMEntaRYBy Cheri Dick
The New York Times calls it “a happy exercise in escapism.”
Entertainment Weekly says “this is a gin fizz of a show … it goes down very well indeed.”
Chicago Theater Beat proclaims it to be “a love letter to the days when love was all there was.”
These are just a few of the raves about Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s first show of the new season when it opened on Broadway in 2006.
I didn’t know much about “The Drowsy Chaperone” until Bob Sorbera, artistic director at Civic, enthusiastically recommended it to open our season. Clearly this is one show that is not to be missed. It’s a five-time Tony Award-winner, including best musical of the year. It’s imaginative and unabashedly entertaining.
To make it even more enticing, this is the first time it has ever been staged in a Central Indiana theater.
The Drowsy Chaperone runs Thursday through Sunday, September 9-24. Please check our colorful new Civic Theatre website (www.civictheatre.org) for exact dates, times and ticket
information. You will love the show and you will greatly appreciate the comfort, accessibility, superior acoustics and amenities (like covered
parking in an adjoining garage) of the Tarkington at the Center for the Per-forming Arts.
I would especially like to invite you to join us for Civic Theatre’s Grand Opening Gala Celebration on Thurs-day evening, September
8. The festivities begin with cocktails and hor devours and the inaugural performance of The Drowsy Chaperone. The event concludes with a Champaign toast and dessert. Call 317-923-4597 now, and be among the very first to enjoy a Civic show at the spectacular new Tarkington.
The critics have raved about the production of The Drowsy Chaperone on Broadway, and you will be raving about Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s production of it here. Join us for this landmark theatre event.

» Stick to plain soap? - The main com-pounds in antibiotic wipes, creams and soaps -- triclosan and triclocarban -- have been added to other products in an attempt to halt the spread of microbes. But studies show that these antibiotic chemicals are no more likely than regular soap to prevent gastrointestinal or respiratory illness. In fact, for chronically sick patients, antibiotic soaps were actually associated with increases in the frequencies of fevers, runny noses and coughs. Also, in one Pakistani study, people who washed their hands with plain soap were able to reduce the incidence of child-hood diarrhea by 53 percent. Those who
used antibiotic soap containing 1.2 percent triclocarban actually experienced slightly higher incidence of illness.

» Weight loss myth –Many dieters believe eating several small meals a day is a guar-anteed way to quash hunger. But scientists have not turned up substantial evidence to support this. In fact, a 2009 study with more than 10,000 subjects reported that between-meal nibblers were 69 percent more likely to pack on pounds over five years. Frequent noshing only works if you choose nutritious foods and control portion sizes. It all comes back to calories. You can eat three times a day or 10, as long as you have the same ca-loric intake that will induce weight loss.

Breast implants like cake and candy
Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon. Comments can be sent to [email protected]
COMMEntaRYBy Barry Eppley
Breast augmentation continues to be one of the most popular and successful body contour-ing procedures in plastic surgery. While it may seem hard to make the association of breast enhancement with confections and desserts, they are more closely related than one would think. This is because of two recent technologi-cal advances in the type of breast implants that are available and how they are implanted at the time of surgery.
One important, but often overlooked, aspect of the surgical implantation of breast devices is placing into the breast pocket. When only saline implants were available this was never a concern as they were inflated after they were placed. This means very small incisions could be used for their introduction that were not even on the breast. Rolled up like a burrito, a saline implant is inserted through a one-inch incision and then inflated to the desired size. However, the re-introduction of silicone breast implants in 2006 required larger incisions for the pre-filled inserts.
Plastic surgeons will frequently push and cram the breast implant through a small incision to prevent larger scars; a technique that weak-ens the implant’s shell and leads to premature rupture. However, a new and improved delivery method has had a positive impact.
The new method uses a funnel, a tool that looks exactly like one used to decorate a cake.
The breast implant is now easily propelled into the implant pocket, all without ever touching the implant or squeezing it too hard in one place.
Silicone gel is a better implant option than saline without risks for spontaneous deflations like a saline implant can (and eventually will). Although the health concerns from the early 1990s with have been dispelled, the concern about rupture and what happens to the material persist. Concerns lead to the development of advanced silicone materials that hold together more like a solid, resulting in what is known as the “gummy bear breast implant.”
The “gummy bear breast implant” is more than just a cute nickname. It is a reflection how the silicone filling looks and feels, soft and spongy. Just like those cute little red, green and yellow bears, you can push, pull and even cut the material without losing its shape. The physi-cal similarity between the new implant and the candy are striking.
Breast augmentation continues to get better and more safe as the materials and techniques to deliver them improve. This gives women more options to choose what they feel best fits their bodies.

ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home is located in the Village of Mount Carmel neighborhood in Carmel was built in 1997.The kitchen was original and had been last decorated in the late 1990s.
MOTIVATION TO REMODEL: The primary motivation for the remodel was to update.The kitchen hadn’t been updated since it was built. The homeowners had been thinking about re-modeling their kitchen for a couple of years and finally decided to get serious. The old kitchen had white appliances, white accent hardware on cabinets and the original laminate countertops.
NEW COSMETIC FEATURES: The home-owner loves the overall new look and said, “the whole look of the kitchen is more appealing to the eye. The look is very warm and inviting. It’s a joy to be in the kitchen.”
CABINET MODIFICATIONS: A trim carpen-ter was able to make several changes to the cabi-nets including installing filler pieces to hide gaps near the appliances, adding new 1/8” rippled glass panels and adding new oak doors with arched frames. The homeowner said, “I love the glass in the cabinets, it gives them an extra
special look.”GRANITE & TILE BACKSPLASH: The new
natural-stone tile backsplash includes 2”x4” Torreon Limestone installed in a staggered pat-tern with pencil molding and antique white grout. She updated her countertops with 3cm Delicatus granite with a demi bull nose edge. The new tops and backsplash are a more earthy tone and go well with the existing cabinets. The homeowner commented, “I love my new pull down faucet.” The new sink is a Bianco 32”x19” undermount sink in biscuit color while the fau-cet is a Moen Arbor model in oil rubbed bronze.
NEW FINISH COLOR: The homeowner added, “The oil rubbed bronze accessories re-
ally pull the entire kitchen look together. The kitchen really has a welcoming look and feel. I actually want to spend time there.” The family had a big party recently and is looking forward to having people over to show off their newly-remodeled kitchen.
Minor kitchen remodel: ‘New cosmetic features make a big difference’

» Does bulk really save? – According to re-search from Harvard Business School, paying a fee to shop leads people to think they are saving money even when they aren’t. The researchers acknowledge that membership stores do often sell products at a discount. But they suggest that shoppers are likely to buy more than they would otherwise when shop-ping at stores that charge a membership fee because they believe they are saving money. In some cases, the authors point out, prod-ucts may be no cheaper than at a local dis-count store, where you can shop for free.

» Stocking up on bulbs – Starting in Janu-ary, the traditional 100-watt incandescent bulbs will become a hot commodity. New federal efficiency standards, passed as part of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, will make the production of these bulbs illegal then, followed by 75-, 60- and 40-watt bulbs in later years. As the new standards gain publicity, consumers and designers are stocking up on these bulbs. The new, more energy-efficient alternatives are considered by many to cast a harsh, overly bright glow or too weak of a light.

» Fewer teens had jobs – Last summer, the percentage of Americans age 16 to 24 with a summer job dropped to 48.9 percent. This figure is the lowest since record keeping began in 1948 and this was the first time the number ever dipped below 50 percent.
-Inc.
» Closed sales increased – A one- and three-month review of local housing data reveals that the number of closed sales is on the rise in Hamilton County, according to a report from the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors. The number of closed sales in Hamilton County increased by 7.7 percent during May to July when compared to the same months in 2010. Additionally, closed sales increased 32 percent in the one-month comparison within the county.
» RAI worth a look? - Reynolds American (RAI), a dividend stock with a 6.1 percent yield, is a holding company for the nation’s second-largest cigarette maker. It has five of the 10 best-selling brands in the United States, including Camel, Winston and Kool. The Winston-Salem, N.C. company also owns American Snuff, a maker of smokeless tobacco.

COMMEntaRYBy David Cain
A guy I’ve worked with for four years quit two weeks ago. Coincidently, we had a company meet-ing the same day and families were invited. After this picnic/shelter house affair, I headed back to the office with my kids to get my computer. The kids love the office. We do crazy things like write on the walls (whiteboards) and post small scraps of paper wherever we want (post-it notes). There are soda machines and candy machines, not to mention candy in jars out in the open. We even use permanent markers with reck-less abandon! What’s not to love?
We filed in the empty office after the event and the girls took off running. They ran to my desk to quickly survey the child art that I have on display and to be sure my No. 1 Dad mugs were both on the desk and that their photos still adorned my otherwise stark accommodations. The oldest even checked the mug to make sure it had signs of coffee. As she sniffed the mug and asked if I used it, she was interrupted when she noticed that one of the desks in the room was empty.
There was a gasp, and they both exclaimed together, “What happened to Big Cat!” They didn’t know Scott as Scott they only knew him
as the Big Cat. I’m fairly sure at least the young-est had a crush on the Big Cat. She affirmed it when, after I informed her that Big Cat had quit, she began to cry. The realization of Big Cat’s departure was too much for her I thought. I reassured her that Big Cat would be okay and
so would I. She surprised me with her reply, “now daddy only has two friends” referring clearly to the two other people she knows that work in the room.
I share the office with a little over 30 people and
work with a truckload more. But, it was funny to realize that my little girls both thought that my only friends were right there in that room. After all, why wouldn’t they think that? They go to school and their only friends, as they define it, are right there in that room. They just didn’t know my room, over the years, had become much bigger. Here’s to new opportunities and making your room bigger, both something we all must pursue.
Big Cat goodbyes!

With his son Stephen, Yackt-man runs these two eponymous top perform-ers. Many of the category’s top funds, including Yacktman’s, hold relatively few stocks or make big sector bets. Of course, a focused strategy can backfire, as it has in 2011 for Fairholme (FAIRX), which is heavily invested in financial stocks.

How we know that training with lots of posi-tive reinforcement-and without force or physical punishment –is best.
What’s the difference?Today, in many areas of the country a dog is
at least as likely to be enrolled in a class with a trainer who uses positive methods as one who still employs old fashioned choke chain or prong- collar coercion. As more dog owners and dog trainers see the light, clickers, treat bags, and positive reinforcement replace metal collars, shocks, and dominance theory. Many trainers who still fall back on compulsion tools will at the least start dog-friendlier methods, resorting to force and intimidation only when positive traning seems not to work for them. Dogs and humans alike are delighted to discover a kinder, gentler method that still gets results.
Trainers, behaviorists, and dog owners are re-
alizing that this is more than just a philosophical difference, or a conflict between an ethics that says we should be nice to animals versus a more utilitarian approach to training. While both methods can produce well-trained dogs, the end result is also significantly different. With posi-tive training, the goal is to develop a dog that thinks and works cooperatively with his human part of a team, rather than a dog who simply obeys commands.
An ExampleSit+ Positive method Show your dog a
yummy treat, and move it slowly over his head. Most dogs will sit (sooner or later) so they can continue to watch the treat; just wait. When your dog does sit, “mark” the desired behavior with the click! Of a clicker (or say a word such as “yes!” in a cheerful voice) and feed him the treat. Repeat this about six to 10 times, with a click! And treat each time he sits.
When you know he’ll sit easily for the treat
lure, say the word “sit” each time just before you lure. After six to 10 more repetitions, move the treat towards your chest (instead of over his head) and say “sit”. Continue to click and treat each sit. After another half- dozen repetitions, say “Sit” without moving your hand to your chest, and click! /treat when he sits.
Continue until he’ll sit without any hand movements. Karma, and Izzy before would sit without treats after the training, however it is important to continue to give praise to your dog.
What you can doRenew your commitment to positive training
with your dog, if necessary, as well as positive relationships with others who share your life.
Advocate for positive training with those who may not be as aware of the benefits of positive reinforcement.
Buy extra copies of your favorite positive training books; donate them to your local libraries, to pro-vide positive training resources to your community.

The Humane Society for Hamilton County is opening a new, satellite adoption center located at Hamilton Town Center Mall today. The grand opening of the center will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature shelter dogs and cats for adoption and raffle prizes from Three Dog Bakery. KJ from WZPL’s Smiley Morning Show will be on-site from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“For anyone who has visited the shelter in the last few months, they know how full and over-whelmed we have been with a non-stop flow of animal intakes,” said HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens. “That is why this satellite loca-tion is such a blessing to us in that we believe it will create many more adoption opportunities for our animals.”
Stevens said the new adoption center will ini-tially be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays with hopes of ramping up to Saturdays and Sun-days in time for the holidays. The center will be fully equipped to do on-site adoptions and wel-comes visitors to bring their dogs by to sniff and mingle with potential new siblings. A minimum of 10 dogs and cats will be featured each Saturday for adoption but will head back to the shelter at the end of each day if homes are not found.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received from Hamilton Town Center’s management team and Simon for making it possible for even more animals to find the for-
ever homes they deserve,” said Stevens. “We couldn’t be more excited about the grand open-ing event, and we hope the community will come out to celebrate with us.”
Humane Society to open satellite center today

One of the men’s must-haves of this season is a man bag. These bags come in the great neutral colors and can be combined with any outfit or occasion, from the office to the air-port. Find one in a worn leather, or canvas to ensure the masculinity. The finish and texture of these bags allows men to feel comfortable, and above all fashionable, when carrying one.
Try these simple steps to help achieve the voluminous, bombshell hair that can now be found on magazine covers and all along the red carpet:
To begin, towel dry your hair and mist a leave-in conditioner (such as Biominoil Leave In Treatment) and a volumizer (try Brocato’s Volumizing Tonic). Then begin blow drying your roots while pulling them away from your scalp.
When your hair is completely dry, wrap 1-inch sections in Velcro rollers. Once your hair is set, blow dry with a diffuser for another 10 minutes on the hot setting, then 10 minutes on the cool setting. Alternatively, you could use large hot rollers or a curling iron once your hair is completely dry.
After removing the rollers, combine a drop of shine serum (like Brocato’s Shine Drops) and a light hold gel (Salon 01 brand Flex Hold Gel) in the palms of your hands. Run your hands throughout your hair and move your voluminous locks into place.For added boost, gently tease your roots around the crown of your head. Finish off the process with a blast of moveable hold hairspray to keep your ‘do in place.

Time to call a proCOMMEntaRYBy Vicky Earley
You want a certain look and assurance the in-vestment will be a wise one. You know that this is not your area of expertise. This is the time to call in the services of an interior designer or decorator.
If you have not used a designer before, it can be intimidating. The fear and mystery can be enough to send a homeowner on a solo spiral down the interior design hill.
To make matters even more challenging, the best interior decorators are one part artist, one part business mind, and one part translator. In other words, it is not as easy in looking in the telephone book under “t” for “talented decorators.”
While the most obvious trait to consider is artistic ability and a sense of style, the most im-portant element is personality.
A close bond develops during the design pro-cess so, the individual who is about to step into your home has to mesh with you.
Just as important, this must be a person who asks questions and listens to the answers. A good decorator should constantly probe to solicit a vision for the final product. If pertinent questions are not being posed, it is a sign that you are not the focus.
Before committing to a designer, ask yourself the following:
Do I feel comfortable with this person? Re-member, you will be spending time with this
person so a level of rapport is essential. Does this person seem interested in my wish-
es? Avoid the cookie cutter decorator who does the same look over and over for ease.
Is he or she clear about the costs involved? There should be a clear understanding of how fees will be charged in advance.
Hopefully, this is the start of a long-term relation-ship with someone who will have access to personal parts of your life so these factors are imperative.
Clients have to take the initiative and let the designer know how involved they want to be.
Unless the designer selected is totally devoid of talent, the benefits will outweigh the cost.
When interviewing a potential candidate for a project, expect to be quoted an hourly rate of $65 and up. In addition, some decorators will quote a flat fee based on a needs analysis. The ideal situation is to look for a decorator who is flexible to the needs of a client.
Working with a decorator opens up sources generally closed to the public. Also, designers have a resource list of talented labor they can readily tap into as well as the ability to negotiate on behalf of a client.
Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in downtown Carmel. If you have an interior design question, please contact [email protected].
» Blue bridal shoes? – Loeffler Randall’s bridal collection hit stores (and online) last week—and the best pair of shoes, according to Elle, isn’t white. Instead, they’re navy blue velvet with black strappy ties that lace up from toe to top. The heel clocks in at four inches and you couldn’t possibly have trou-ble wearing them repeatedly post-ceremony.

» Peptides improve makeup - Among the most promising wrinkle fighters, say some dermatologists, are peptides. These small proteins are key actors in collagen synthesis, and they enhance the performance of anti-oxidants. These can also boost the perfor-mance of your makeup, acting like molecular
garbage collectors, absorbing the toxic byproducts of skin’s ordinary functions that otherwise accumulate and damage cells. Try Mary Kay Timewise Luminous-Wear Liquid Foundation ($20, marykay.com) and Almay Smart Shade Anti-Aging Concealer ($9, drug-stores), both with a blend of peptides and antioxidants.

SPIRItUalItYBy Bob WaltersT’was Grace that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed.
– 2nd stanza, “Amazing Grace”“The hour I first believed” was 10 years ago
this Labor Day weekend.Specifically it was Sept. 2, 2001, sitting in a
Sunday church service for basically the first time in 30 years. Dave Faust, who later baptized me, and Russ Blowers, who taught me until his death in late 2007, were sharing the East 91st Street Christian Church pulpit that day, with Russ talk-ing gently about Jesus, faith, hope and love.
It was Russ’s 50th anniversary with his beloved congregation. Dave, a gifted preacher, moved on within a year to be a college president, where he continues to raise ensuing generations of Chris-tian ministers at Cincinnati Christian University.
I sat in the back row with mystifying tears roll-ing down my cheeks; tears that made no earthly sense, but tears that welled up from deep in my heart with the full cooperation of my mind. Be-fore that, I didn’t know what I believed. Today “belief” doesn’t adequately cover the spiritual and intellectual enormity of a life in Christ.
It – Christian life – is not what I expected. It’s not the limiting, rules-following, holier-than-thou, faith-groveling, meek, mind-numbing existence centered on a guilt fetish that I had
imagined. The Christian life is an inexplicable hybrid of empowerment and humility; of intel-lect and emotion; of binding love, and freedom to choose what binds us; of fear, and freedom from it. It is comfort in hard times, courage in harder times, and the excitement of knowing that every day is new when our steps point to Jesus Christ.
I can’t explain my conversion. Jesus didn’t zap me where I sat. Nobody hit me over the head with a Bible. The Holy Spirit didn’t send me into convulsions and God didn’t rend a single curtain. I just knew that whatever awakened within de-served and required my full attention. That it was right. That it was important. That it was true.
And that it was good. Not just any good, but God’s Good. The real deal.
Humanity is bigger, life is better and eternity abounds when they are boldly defined in Christ. I am thankful beyond words for God’s faithful-ness, the Holy Spirit’s presence, and the amazing grace of Jesus Christ.
I truly needed it – we all do – and am happy to share it. Jesus is Lord. Amen.
The hour I first believed
Bob Walters (www.believerbob.blogspot.com, email [email protected]) was in church that day because his then-13-year-old son Eric had randomly wondered a couple weeks earlier at a family dinner, “How come we don’t go to church?” So they went. True story.

Course of actionlaUgHSBy Dick Wolfsie
The brochure was suspiciously placed on top of the mail pile that Mary Ellen left on my desk. It was the annual Oasis catalog, full of courses seniors can take to enrich their lives. This was Mary Ellen’s subtle hint that golf, racquetball and bike riding were not enough to fill up my day and that without a couple of sessions of chair Pilates, water aero-bics, or Zumba (whatever that is), I was just going to wither away. Many of these classes are held at a Flanner and Buchanan funeral home, which is just the cheeriest idea ever. You know what they say: location, location, location.
The introductory notes to the various selections explain these seminars are for people 50 years old or better. I would have thought that “better” meant 40, or maybe even 35, which are far superior in my opinion, to be-ing 50. Apparently, they think I’m better than ever at 64. By the way, I think 50 is too young to be considered a senior. If you can’t remember the moon landing, you shouldn’t be getting a discount at the optometrist.
A few of the courses are worth a mention, like Till the End of Time, which is “a look at previous end-of-the-world predictions that were wrong.” There was no class listing for doomsday prophe-cies that were right. Also offered is a course on how to get your car started in the winter. The instructor’s name is Ben Stallings. Page 18, if you don’t believe me.
This fall, you can take Protecting Your Assets, which is as close to a double entendre as the Oasis people are going to get. You might want to enroll in: Introduction to Computers. The de-scription says “it will teach seniors how to cut, copy and paste.” Last year half the class showed
up with carbon paper, scissors and Elmer’s glue.Introduction to the Mouse seems less than rigor-
ous. Not to brag, but the first time I ever had a mouse in my hand, everything just seemed to click. Another favorite is the course on line danc-ing. Do you really need lessons for that? Mary Ellen wants me to take it. She said at the last two weddings we attended, I got totally out of line.
As I was making my selections, I thought about two additional pro-grams they should offer, and I would like to teach them:
NOW WHERE DID I PUT MY…
This is a memory course to help you find your remote phone in the fridge, your keys in the dishwasher or your wal-let in one of your shoes. Class discussion will include: How did it get there? Didn’t I look there three times? And: They have to be somewhere in house; no one loses a pair
of pajamas.COMPLAINING: AN ART, NOT A
SCIENCEHow to avoid being labeled grouchy and
unreasonable and still get what you want in life. Included are the finer points of sending a per-fectly good restaurant meal back to the kitchen after you’ve eaten half of it; how to nitpick spots at Mike’s Carwash so they’ll run your Camry through the tunnel again; and, returning some-thing to Walmart that you bought at Meijer.
So am I going to take a course? Indeed, I am. On October 5 at the Benton House. I’ve en-rolled in It’s Typewriter Time. This is a course

Missing: Dessert curlslaUgHSBy Mike Redmond
I am a great admirer of Warren Buffett, and not just because he’s rich as Croesus and thinks he ought to pay more taxes (although I don’t notice him writing a huge check to the Treasury Department and saying, “Keep the change.”).
No, I admire Warren Buffett because Warren Buffett founded Berkshire Hathaway, and Berk-shire Hathaway owns Dairy Queen.
Dairy Queen has been much on my mind lately for a few sort-of-but-not-really-connected reasons.
The first reason is I stopped at the Dairy Queen closest to my house the other day and got a Dilly Bar that was way below the standard.
The second is I’ve been goofing around on a Facebook page for people from LaGrange County, and the Dairy Queen of our collective kidhood figures large in some of the conversation.
And third, I’ve always wanted to mention the Dairy Queen I like best, near the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis, which is one of those great old walk-up DQs.
That’s what the LaGrange DQ was when I first became aware of it. You stood on the side-walk, ordered your cone and wandered over to the post office steps to sit and enjoy it. This is such a terrific memory for me that I still think the walk-up Dairy Queen is vastly superior to the kind with tables and a burger grill.
Talk of the Dairy Queen in LaGrange invari-ably turned to “What was your favorite DQ treat?” My first answer was Ellie Woodworth, one of four Woodworth sisters to work there. Hubba hubba. My second was the dipped cone. Also hubba hubba.
Our DQ was famous for the tight ship run by its owner, Mrs. Lemings – a dear woman who insisted on doing things the right way. For ex-ample, before every shift employees had to line
up and present their hands to Mrs. Lemings for inspection, and more than one got sent to the washroom for a do-over. Hospitals had nothing on Mrs. Lemings’ DQ for cleanliness.
Doing things the right way gets me to Ellie’s older sister, Barb. Now, as we all know, the sig-nature of the DQ frozen treat is the curl on top. Without that, it’s just ice cream. Well, Barb was the best DQ curl maker in the Seventh Federal Reserve District. No matter what she was mak-ing, from a baby cone to a banana split, the curls
were perfect every time. For this reason, Barb
was appointed the official Dilly Bar maker for the LaGrange DQ. You could always count on a Barb Woodworth Dilly Bar to have that perfect curl on the front side.
Of course, a Dilly Bar fan then had to make a decision: Do I start eating from the top, as is cus-tomary with an Eskimo-Pie style ice cream treat on a stick, or do I first bite off the curl?
For me, it was a no-brainer. That curl was perfect and therefore irresistible. Besides, I heard once of a kid who bit off the curl and sucked out all the ice cream, leaving a perfect chocolate shell behind. It seemed like something I might like to do someday.
Which gets me to my substandard Dilly Bar other day.
It had no curl. It was just a flat disc. Just ice cream.
Where’s Barb Woodworth when you need her? Mrs. Lemings would not have let than one out of the shop.
I’d better write Warren Buffett. I think the boss should know about this. And pay a reward.

We all know, the signature of the DQ frozen treat
is the curl on top. Without that, it’s
just ice cream.
