It is our position that a statewide smoking ban as it has been proposed is not an infringement on personal liberties. There are several arguments for and against smoking bans – and either side can win those arguments when they present them with the right set of facts.

While both positions have merit, the go-to argument against smok-ing bans seems to be the attack on personal liberty, and we don’t feel this argument holds water. Smoking in an enclosed space does produce health risks for others. It’s incomparable to anything else – would we allow a per-son to enter a movie theatre with a jug of pest control chemicals and allow them to randomly spray it in the air? Of course not, we regulate those chemicals and their uses. We wouldn’t permit someone with car problems to drive down the street, emitting a cloud that makes it impossible for motorists behind them to see the road.

If the economic argument is in fact a good enough reason to maintain the status quo, so be it, but there is nothing about liberty that permits one citizen to put another in harm’s way, in our estimation, so the “taking of liberties” argument must be put to rest.

Smoke this Don’t smoke thisIt is our position that a statewide smoking

ban is not only unnecessary, but is downright un-American. The last time we checked, tobacco products, including ciga-rettes and cigars, were perfectly legal to purchase and to smoke.

While we cannot argue that the use of any tobacco product is good for your health, neither is eating at fast food restaurants or failing to exercise three times a week. As long as something is not illegal, we cannot be prosecuted for partak-ing in it. Our great country was founded on the principles of liberty and private property, among others, so here in America we have the right to choose.

Bars, restaurants and other establishments are each private property and owned by someone with the right to choose whether they are smok-ing or non-smoking. Many places have chosen to be smoke free and we thank them when we are eating dinner out. But when we choose to have a beer and a cigarette while we watch a sporting event with friends, we are thankful that we still can.

To enact a statewide smoking ban in private-property establishments is one step further down the slippery slope of diminishing liberty. What will they take next?

As the New Year dawns, naturally we are compelled to look back on 2011 and take stock of what was and what could have been. Just as naturally, we also look forward to what the next 12 months will bring all of us. Around here, we tend to focus on a key watchword for the new year. For the next 365 days, and, truthfully, all those that fol-low, we actually are reinstituting our 2009 watchword, ACCOUNTABILITY, and we’ll tell you why. As you might recall, we recently commissioned independent marketplace research – we’re not smart enough to do it on our own – whose results were at once con-firming, surprising and eye-opening. If we’re nothing else to our readership and advertis-ing partners, we are accountable. We’re also accountable to those whose services we em-ploy, and they owe it to you be accountable, as well. From the adjective accountable, we get the noun accountability, and that means, basically, being responsible to someone or for some action. Interestingly, accountability is a common noun in many segments of the results of that recent research. You have put it to us to make sure there is accountability across various platforms of our Hamilton County life, chief among them government and its acumen for stewardship of our tax

dollars – or lack thereof. You told us you want to know what your elected officials are doing to justify the occupancy of their posi-tions, and so we shall maintain watchful eyes on their deeds and open ears to their words. As this is your newspaper, and news it what you say it is, we wish to remind you that if there is any segment of, or behavior in, lo-cal government you question for whatever reason, please inform us. We will take your suggestions and questions to heart, and we will investigate and attempt to provide meaningful answers. We believe you deserve nothing less, so let us hear from you at [email protected]. Here’s to a progressive, healthful and fulfilling new year.

An old watchword is back for ’12: Accountability

COMMEntaRyBy terry anker

Many of us remember the start of the modern smoking wars with a non-threatening Dick Van Dyke movie called “Cold Turkey” from the early 1970s. It tells the story of fictional small town Eagle Rock, Iowa, and its rush to win a tobacco company-sponsored prize of $25,000,000 for kick-ing the habit naturally, hilarity ensues. Eventu-ally (much like an after-school special), we all learn a lesson about the evils of smoking. Since then, America has become a decidedly different place. In the wake of terrorists’ attacks on our homeland and the fear that it has wrought, we now tolerate more intrusions into our personal freedoms than at any point since our founding. Mad mothers, advocate judges, big-government governments and all manner and sort of entities have entered the public space with a promise to keep us safe and protect us from evil. Even as we have moved away from religious edicts and dogma designed to harness the unwitting prole-tariat, we have embraced with great exuberance the dictum of a new class of well-intended folks

out to protect us from ourselves. Perhaps we need the protection. We are too

fat. We are stupid enough to text while we drive. And, we fill our lungs (and often our veins) with toxic substances. But who gets to decide

what freedoms we have? Should there be a scale at the fast food joint that determines a body mass index before dispensing the bacon-bomb burger? Yet, do summary pro-hibitions work? Can we ban fat/smoke/liquor/sex/violence (or any of a

plethora of human foibles) without taking away something equally (perhaps more) important? As the most recent smoking ban debates have grabbed headlines, one remembers the lessons of our long history of temperance movements. Should the 18th Amendment come back? And, perhaps one for gambling/smoking/eating/questioning/thinking?

Thank you for smoking

Should there be a scale at the fast food joint that determines a body mass

index before dispensing the bacon-bomb burger?

I just read through my 2011 New Year’s reso-lutions and realized I didn’t make that many. We did take our kids to Colorado and I did do a better job of balancing work and mother-hood, at least up until last month. But I still hate mushrooms, I didn’t publish a book, and my very yellow family room is still obnoxiously sunny. But that’s the great thing about a new year! You get the chance to start over. So here’s my fourth-annual list of New Year’s goals, per-fectly penned for your reading pleasure.

Paint the damn family room. Yes, it has high ceilings, so, yes, we’ll need to hire a professional. But seriously, if I can’t check this one little thing off my list, then I may as well resign myself to keeping stained laminate countertops and a car-peted master bath. Just do it already!

Calm the hell down. I really want to make this year less stressful, and I can start by tweak-ing my attitude towards things like dirty laun-dry, lasagna-encrusted dishes and unmade beds. I’ve mentioned this in previous articles, but I’m a bit anal when it comes to a clean house. The problem is, I have four kids and work full time, so stuff gets messy. In 2012, before I lose my cool over insignificant untidiness, I vow to take a deep breath, maybe go outside and shout the eff word a few times, and remind myself that a sterile home is a lifeless home. Bring on the dirt!

Minimize swearing. Or not. The eff word speaks to me.

Focus on family. The past few months I’ve lost sight of what’s truly important in life – a strong cup of coffee, a stout drink and a stiff … No wait, that’s something else. Family! Family should be the most important thing, and in 2012 I pledge to spend more quality time with my children and husband. I’m also going to try and get out of town more often to see siblings and nieces and nephews. Life’s just too short to not make the effort in this area.

Publish my book. I actually did get started on this last year, but somehow let it fall by the wayside. Not in 2012! Expect to see my lovely mug on a book cover near you by spring. As God as my witness, I will never go hungry again! Because I’ll be rich, see, from my book earnings.

Embrace middle age. I turn 40 this month. Gulp. But I’m not going to let it slow me down. Wrinkles, mammograms, hair dye … Bring. It. On.

Good luck meeting your own 2012 goals! Peace out.

Mayor Andy Cook discusses his initiatives

for the new year

By lindsay [email protected]

The City of Westfield has seen a lot of changes since it was designated a city four years ago. Mayor Andy Cook said working with department heads and council members helped create an identity for the city.

“Our first step was developing a long-term financial plan, which was the first time Westfield had a long-term plan,” Cook said. “Then we created a vision for our city and explored ways to diversify tax bases. It became clear projects like Grand Junction and Grand Park would provide the increased commercial business that will diversify taxes.”

Cook was reelected to a second term in November, and he said the opportunity to continue leading Westfield allows him to expand programs he developed during his first term, and to create new programs.

Grand Park: What to expect in 2012According to Cook, eight baseball diamonds and eight turf

fields will be fully operational at Grand Park this fall. A number of concession stands also will be available, along with parking lots and walkways.

Cook said Grand Park’s business model does not require city taxes.

The 350-acre sports complex’s two anchors, the Lids Indiana Bulls baseball team and Indiana Soccer, will use their income from tournaments to fund maintenance for the organizations’ fields, lights and irrigation. Organizations such as WYSI and WYSA will pay to use the fields, but the rate will not increase from their current rental rate.

According to Cook, Grand Park’s business plan doesn’t use municipal tax dollars to pay for maintenance of parking lots,

walkways and facilities, such as concession stands.“We will receive our income to pay for the facilities and other

financial responsibilities from sponsorships and naming rights fees,” Cook said. “The operation of Grand Park will break even and will not require going outside to use tax dollars.”

Cook said PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company are bidding for pouring rights for a 10-year contract at Grand Park. Cook said he expects to announce which company will have rights at Grand Park in the coming weeks.

The athletics-based Grand Park will require emergency person-nel and increased security when 16 fields open in the fall.

Cook said the city plans to hire emergency personnel for Grand Park, but it is unknown at this time how many people will be hired; however, he said he knows their pay won’t come out of taxpayers’ pockets.

“Hiring new personnel won’t be a cost to the city,” Cook said. “Workers’ income will come from the commercial taxes of the businesses in the area.”

Cook said Westfield Police Dept. officers will provide the secu-rity for Grand Park.

Increased Westfield Police Dept. outreachAccording to the City of Westfield, nine police officers were

hired during the past four years, and the city won’t be adding more police officers in 2012. Instead, Cook wants to build on the police department’s success in outreach programs for the commu-nity, such as Safety Days.

“I want to get officers out of their cars and walking on trails, riding bikes and getting to know businesses by patrolling retail stores,” Cook said.

Westfield Police Chief Joel Rush said the police department creates annual goals such as crash prevention and crime preven-tion. Rush said in 2012 police officers will collaborate with the individuals and organizations they serve even more.

“The mayor and I agree it is important officers develop rela-tionships with those we serve. The only way to accomplish this goal is to step outside of the patrol cars and interact with the people who live and work in Westfield in a positive way,” Rush said. “The idea of true community policing is not new; however, it’s a culture change to some.”

Westfield Youth Assistance ProgramAccording to Cook, the Westfield Youth Assistance Program

will add 40 volunteers in 2012. Cook said he wants the program that provides tutoring and mentors for at-risk high school stu-dents to reach out to different parts of Westfield to increase the number of helpers.

“We are going to reach out to local businesses and the chamber of commerce to get involved and become mentors,” Cook said. “This isn’t a program that takes money, it needs people.”

2012 is going paperlessThe Westfield clerk-treasurer’s office will clear out paperwork

during in the new year. Cook said the decision to transition to an electronic system increases efficiency for all departments and institutes a strong reporting system for department managers to look at the level of funds at any given time. The department will use $200,000 already budgeted for software in 2012 to achieve paperless systems for invoices, claim forms and payments.

“The electronic system gives department managers a snapshot of their funding, and the ability to look at the level of their funds at any given time,” Cook said.

Grand Junction: Step two in 2012Cook said the main goal for Grand Junction this year is land

acquisition. Schematic designs are in place and officials have begun talking with residents living in the 2.5 square blocks at Grand Junction.

“Grand Junction’s fu-ture location is in a flood plain, so cur-rent residents can’t resell their proper-ties; we’re giving them another op-tion,” Cook said. “We’ve met with about 60 residents in that area and have received positive feedback.”

Cook said during the past two years the city has been develop-ing a regional water-detention plan, and 2012 will be the start of a two-year building project. “The increased commercial develop-ment stemming from the construction of Grand Junction re-quires run-off locations,” Cook said. “We have designed a deten-tion facility where all commercial developments can share the run off so each business doesn’t have to have its own pond.”

Grand Junction will run north on Main Street, south of Park Street, east at Union Street and west at Mill Street.

What would you like to accomplish in the first year of your term? I would like to serve on the finance committee. Additionaly, I would like make taxes more equitable by diversifying Westfield’s tax base.

How would you describe yourself in one word? Positive.

What do you think makes Westfield stand out from other cities? We are a rapidly growing city and we maintain the charm of a small town. Westfield in Lights is the perfect example. It was like a scene from a Hallmark movie. There were citizens standing in line to see the gingerbread house competition and WHS band members selling bows to decorate the City Tree. The high level of community involvement is what makes Westfield different.

What do you see for the future of Westfield and how will you be involved? I see us welcom-ing guests from across the country. As Grand Park becomes a reality and we host people from all over, the many benefits of Westfield will be showcased. Our guests will see why CNN’s Mon-

ey magazine rated Westfield as the #1 city of its size in Indiana and 48th in the US. Our schools, trail systems and parks all contribute to making Westfield a great place to live and to locate a busi-ness. I became involved in Westfield in a variety of volunteer activities as soon as we moved here almost 12 years ago. I will always be involved to keep Westfield one of the best places to live and I will contribute to our success in any way I can. We have a great future ahead of us.

The Center for Women’s Ministries has stay-ing power in Westfield. Although the organiza-tion struggled in its early years, it overcame challenges and moved to a new building, 140 S. Cherry St.

Women’s Ministries offers free Biblical peer-counseling to women 13 years of age and older who want to talk to someone about subjects such as unexpected pregnancies and/or abor-tions, or other problems hindering their lives.

Dana Rankin, Center for Women’s Ministries director, said her rocky past, and the fight she says she finally won against substance abuse, gives her the chance to really connect with visitors.

“As a woman who was a three-time divor-cée and struggled with drugs and alcohol, I know what despair and hopelessness feels like,” Rankin said. “But, I also know the healing pow-er Jesus Christ has, because I have experienced it personally.”

Rankin said the Women’s Ministries struggled to keep their doors open, but volunteers’ good-will and determination helped them to get to where they are today.

“There were several months we couldn’t pay our bills, but a volunteer and the owner of our former Union Street building paid our mort-

gage,” Rankin said. “I prayed for the Lord to provide enough to cover the center’s expenses.”

Rankin said a short time later the owner of Carmel Consignment asked Rankin if the center would take donations and unsold items and just six months later Plato’s Closet asked to donate clothes as well.

Rankin said the abundance of clothes trig-gered the idea for a clothing store that would offer cheap prices for families and also pro-vide funds to keep women’s ministries up and running.

“Almost immediately we had to start having weekly sales in order to keep up with all the clothing that was coming in,” Rankin said. “Our bills were being paid and we were also meeting a need for so many who couldn’t afford to buy new clothing. “

Women’s Ministries shares their new building with Life Centers and hosts bi-monthly sales in the building’s basement every other Saturday from 10a.m. - 2 p.m. The clothing is $2 per item from 10 a.m. - noon. and $1 per item from 12:30-2 p.m. The store is closed from noon-12:30 p.m.. Coats and purses are sometimes individually marked. If you would to receive notifications about sales and other Center infor-mation, e-mail Dana Rankin at [email protected].

By Robert [email protected]

Humane Society for Hamilton County Ex-ecutive Director Rebecca Stevens keeps receiving gifts days after Christmas. Every day has been an extra gift as she sheds tears of joy watching “her babies” leave the shelter for new homes during the holiday season.

Her most emotional goodbye came as Pearl, a 5-year-old American pit bull terrier/Labrador retriever, finally found a home as Suzanne Kim of Noblesville filed paperwork to adopt the canine. Stevens described Pearl as the “epitome of a survivor” because she was brought into the shelter three years ago after being found in a ditch alongside the road with a cable imbedded in her neck.

“It was a personal project – a labor of love for three years,” said Stevens. “She spent a long time waiting for a consistent home … She is the dog that will wake me up at 3 a.m. I thought about selling my house to give her a home. I kept thinking, ‘I have to do something.’”

Pearl holds the HSHC record for an animal that’s waited the longest to be adopted. Except for brief stays in temporary foster homes, Pearl has lived at the shelter.

“When she left it was a huge weight lifted off me,” said Stevens. “It was the highlight of my year.”

Then Pacer found a new home. It became an epidemic that animals which called the shelter home the longest found someplace new to call theirs.

“It was a miracle that it took as long as it did,” said Jennifer Judd, HSHC’s manager of marketing and public relations. “They were just waiting for the right families. We knew there had to be someone out there for them.”

HSHC animals get a new

lease on life

Through November, the Humane Society for Hamilton County took in 3,232 animals and had 2,630 dogs and cats adopted this year. Of the 3,232 animals (1,692 cats and 1,540 dogs), Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said 1,119 were owner surrenders and 2,113 were strays. Stevens added that the shelter returned 561 lost pets to their owners and transferred 244 animals to rescues in 2011.

Downtown Westfield properties are getting the opportunity to spiff up their exteriors as part of the Westfield Façade Improvement Grant Program.

The program is improving downtown Westfield business by busi-ness by issuing grants up to $5,000 for eligible private and nonprofit properties.

According to the five-member Westfield Façade Improvement Grant Program committee, the program is designed to improve businesses’ exteriors and give downtown an updated and enticing appearance.

Queso Blanco Mexican Restaurant is the first business to take ad-vantage of the program, meeting eligibility requirements such as the business owner being current on all tax payments and accounts with Westfield Dept. of Public Works.

Queso Blanco, Inc. President Terrell Gray said he first found out about the grant on the city’s website, www.westfield.in.gov, where busi-ness owners can find all the required forms and information about the program’s application process. “I’m always looking for more ways to be involved in my community

and improve my business,” Gray said. “This program combined both.”Gray said the city’s dedication to utilize grant money for improving

downtown is the first step to long-term success and positive changes. “I’m happy with the city’s vision; programs like this draw people and

businesses to Westfield,” Gray said. “The improvements are good for the city. It brings in businesses and gets people coming downtown more.”

Businesses apply to the program’s committee, which decides if the business is eligible for a grant.

Gray said he drastically improved his business’ exterior during the 60-day completion requirement.

The grant money was used to replace Queso Blanco’s windows and siding. Gray also added a roof for the front porch and repainted the res-taurant’s exterior. He said the improved appearance is the beginning of a successful downtown transformation.

“Changes like this increases business because people like a fresh look,” Gray said.

InSURanCE Q&aBy Ryan Samuelson

Question from Curtis P. from Westfield: I have a couple of vehicles and three people driv-ing in my family. I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to get the best price. Any tips?

Response from Ryan Samuelson:The first thing you need to do is make sure

you have an independent insurance agent helping you find the right coverage for you. Independent insurance agents have access to multiple carriers and will be able to find the right coverage at the best price by checking all of them. The key is finding the right balance of coverage and price. Your independent agent will be able to explain what you are sacrificing as you adjust coverage to get a lower price (unlike get-ting your insurance from the Internet).

There are also a couple of things to keep in mind if you have young drivers on your policy. Make sure that your young driver is assigned to the correct vehicle. The difference between an 18-year-old being the primary driver on a Toyota Camry versus being the primary on a new Mercedes is significant. Make sure your agent knows if your child is a good student also. Many carriers give a discount for young drivers that stay on the honor roll.

You can also double check that your vehicles are listed properly on your insurance policy. Look over your policy to make sure you are receiving a credit if your vehicle has an alarm or security system. Make sure that your yearly driving estimates are still accurate. Changing the amount you drive each year can alter your premium. You should also make sure that your coverage reflects the value of the vehicle you are insuring. For example, it doesn’t make much sense to have full coverage insurance with a $1000 deductible on a vehicle that is only worth $2,000. A mistake like that adds unnecessary premiums to your policy.

The last thing you need to do is make sure you are maximizing your policy discounts. A multi-policy discount is probably the most valu-able discount that people miss out on. You can qualify for this even if you don’t own a home. Pairing a renter’s insurance policy OR a home-owners insurance policy with your auto policy will qualify you for a great discount.

Insuring a multi-driver family

» Building hits two-year high – Home building spiked up in November to the stron-gest level in almost two years, as record-low mortgage rates and a surge in apartment and condo construction lifted activity. Housing starts shot up to an annual rate of 685,000 in the month, up 9.3 percent from October and 24.3 percent higher than a year earlier. Building activity easily topped predictions of 627,000 starts economists surveyed by Brief-ing.com were expecting.

» Economists predict growth – The U.S. economy will grow faster in 2012 — if it isn’t knocked off track by upheavals in Europe, according to an Associated Press survey of leading economists. The three dozen private, corporate and academic economists expect the economy to grow 2.4 percent next year. In 2011, it likely grew less than 2 percent. The economists surveyed expect the country to create 177,000 jobs a month through Elec-

tion Day 2012. That would be up from an average 132,000 jobs a month so far in 2011.

» Customer service secret – When things don’t go your way, make the Internet your micro-phone by posting a com-plaint on the business’s Facebook page or your Twitter feed. Compa-nies have departments dedicated to surfing the Internet and making sure their brands are protected, and many have separate Twitter handles for help, such as @ComcastCares and @DeltaAssist. For example, when Con-necticut resident Jonathan Whitbourne’s dryer malfunctioned after just six months, he posted a complaint on Maytag’s Facebook page. A rep responded within an hour and gave him a deal on in-home service.

» Sell unwanted gifts – Clothing and fashion accessories that reflect specific tastes are big post-holiday sellers on eBay. That’s why listing the size of an item on the site isn’t enough.

For tops, common measure-ments include underarm to underarm, and from the top of the collar to the bottom of the hem on the back of the shirt.

» E. coli on your face – Your iPhone or Android is likely harboring a host of harm-ful germs and bacteria, including E. coli, say University of London researchers. The U.K. team stopped random Britons and collected swab samples from 390 cell phones in 12 cit-ies. The research team found that 16 percent of the phones were contaminated with fecal matter in the form of E. coli. What’s more, 92 percent of the phones contained some type of pathogen.That’s not surprising, researchers say, as phones are rarely, if ever, disinfected and warm phones create great breeding grounds for bacteria.

» Study: Part-time dieting is best – In a recent study, presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, British researchers found that women who eliminated carbohy-drate-rich foods like bread, pasta, potatoes and rice two days a week and ate their nor-mal diet the rest of the time lost an average of 9 lbs. over four months. Meanwhile, wom-en in a similar group who ate a 1,500-cal.-per-day Mediterranean-style diet for the same time period lost only 5 lbs. Women on the intermittent diet not only lost more weight but also showed greater improvements on other markers of health, including levels of insulin and leptin.

» Smokers who quit are happier – New research shows that people who successful-ly quit smoking are more satis-fied with their lives. The researchers looked at 1,504 people who took part in a smoking cessation trial in the United States. The authors assessed each participant’s smoking status and quality of life one year and three years after the smok-ing cessation trial. Findings suggested that, over the long-term, individuals will be happier and more satisfied with their lives if they stop smoking than if they do not, the researchers wrote. The study’s “quality of life” measures included the participant’s health, self-regard, philosophy of life and personal relationships.

» Broccoli for back pain? – You know that calcium is key for strong bones, but

Japanese researchers have identified something else you need: vitamin K. It’s believed that the vitamin, found in broc-

coli, spinach, and other dark leafy greens, helps calcium deposit in the bones, making them denser. The stronger your bones, the stronger your whole body—and the lower your chances of an injury that could cause back pain.

HEaltH By Dr. Roger Spahr

I want to talk about food cravings. Actually, I want to talk about neuropeptide Y. Now before your eyes roll-up into their sockets and you skip this “brainy” article to peruse the ads for Ab Rockers and Thigh Masters, let me promise you – this is very easy to understand.

If you have ever seen an Olympic track meet or a car race, you know there is a pistol or a flag that initiates the beginning of the race. There is preparation, and organization behind the scenes on both the competitors’ and organizers’ parts. Then BANG! The race is on. Often the prepara-tion is far longer than the actual race, but the race is the main event.

Neuropeptide Y is released from a part of the brain called the hypothalmus. This is a major regulator of hormones and metabolism for the body. This hormone affects energy balance, memory and learning. Its main effect is to in-crease food intake and reduce physical activity. Additionally, it increases the proportion of en-ergy stored as fat.

You might ask why would the body even think about having a hormone that did that? Neuropeptide Y is one of a series of hormones and other brain chemicals which are connected and necessary to survive in times of high physi-

cal challenges and emotional duress in areas of limited food resources. Your body needs that ability. However, it is not needed in the times of high carbohydrate consumption of three pounds of sugar per week.

Back to starting a race – when your body or brain is subjected to ongoing and continued stressors, your tendency is to sit in one place and feed; i.e. couch and “name your favorite junk food here.” That is stimulated by a combi-nation of stress hormones that includes cortisol, as well as neuropeptide Y. The problem is that high fat and carbohydrate diets further stimulate neuropeptide Y and cortisol. The stressors just started the race to release those factors that slow you down and build fat.

Your alternative is to race in the other direc-tion. Do the preparation. Find foods that are low in simple carbohydrates and richer in pro-tein and fiber. Build regularly scheduled physical activity into your weekly routine. When the gun goes off, and your stressors show up, make sure you race to the finish line a winner.

Food cravings: Ever wonder why?

PEtS By John Mikesell

Temperament of the dog. Friendly dogs are the most likely to walk up to the first person they see, be rescued and either returned to the owner, taken to a shelter or “adopted” by the find-er. Aloof dogs are more likely to avoid strangers until they get hungry, and may travel a con-siderable distance before someone befriends them. Fearful dogs are likely to travel farther and ac-tively avoid contact with humans, even when hunger calls. Sometimes the only way to capture a fearful dog is with the use of a humane trap.

Circumstances of the disappearance. A dog who wanders out of curiosity is likely to stay close to home and wander back in fairly short

order. One who bolts from fear can run for sev-eral miles in blind panic.

Terrain. Wide open spaces are more condu-cive to distance travel than residential neighbor-hoods, where fences create barriers to travel.

Appearance of the dog. “Warm, fuzzy dogs” are quicker to be rescued than large, aggressive-appearing dogs. Someone who may quickly stop to pick up a Cocker Spaniel or a furry Labradoodle

may think twice before inviting a roaming Rott-weiler into her car. Purebred dogs may also be picked up more quickly – as people sometimes mistakenly thinks it’s normal for mixed breeds to be roaming the streets but a purebred dog “must belong to someone.”

Weather. A dog in a blizzard or a driving

rainstorm is likely to seek shelter. A dog wander-ing in 95-degree heat will seek a cool spot and settle down. A dog on a sunny autumn day may happily chase deer and wander farther than one inhibited by bad weather conditions.

Population densities. It’s just common sense that the more people there are around, the more likely it is that your dog will be seen and re-ported to you, or rescued by someone who calls you or the local shelter.

What you can do. Make sure you have sev-eral forms of identification solidly attached to your dog or cat. We strongly recommend using implanted microchip IDs, too. Put your dog’s name on its ID so it can be as comfortable as possible with the person who finds it.

This time of year, with all the hustle and peo-ple coming in and out it would be very easy for your dog or cat to just walk out. You even might not notice for a while.

Factors that influence a lost dog’s travelJohn Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at [email protected].

Make sure you have several forms of identification solidly attached to your dog or cat.

We strongly recommend using implanted microchip IDs

A Guide to Your Perfect Mascara

5 New Years Resolutions Women Should ConsiderAs we bring in 2012 it is time to embrace those long-forgotten “ought-tos” and make this new year the best yet. You can start simply by updating your beauty routine and treating yourself to services that keep you feeling and looking young and healthy.

• Wear SPF EverydayWith so many great moisturizers now containing sunscreen, this resolution is a no-brainer. Salon01 has a great selection of moisturizers and makeup products that contain SPF, making it easy to stay accountable. Come in and talk with Kelly or Stephanie, two great estheticians that can find the perfect products for your needs.

• Try a New ColorThe personal shoppers at Nordstrom, Saks, and J. Crew can be your biggest asset the next time you make a visit to the mall. Focus your next trip on finding a new staple color to liven up your wardrobe. For redheads we love an emerald green, add it in your accessories as a subtle touch.

• Shape Your BrowsWhen is the last time you had a thorough brow grooming? They draw attention to the eyes and freshen up the face when freshly waxed. It is such an easy way to update your look without breaking the bank. Our Salon01 estheticians are trained to shape your brows to complement your individual bone structure, highlighting your best features.

• Commit to Frequent TrimsNothing cramps your style like frizzy, unkempt hair. To beat split ends you don’t need to break up with your straightner, just commit to making quick visits to the salon. Our New Talent stylists are the perfect choice for cleaning up your locks every few weeks.

• Treat Yourself to a Monthly MassageThe benefits of massage are endless. A great massage promotes relaxation, healing, and peace throughout your body. Studies show frequent massages are even more beneficial than your “once in awhile” treatments. Schedule your appointment with Michael who will make you feel refreshed and invigorated for 2012.

2012 Men’s Hair TrendsAs we transition to yet another fabulous year for fashion, the men’s hairstyles continue to transform. Women’s styles tend to be short-lived and quite trendy, while the men’s slowly evolve throughout the seasons. We are already looking forward to seeing what’s in store for 2012.

Short Waves/ Curls - This look gives a soft edge to the masculine styles we saw in 2011. Men with naturally curly hair will look relaxed and sexy with this easy look.

Slicked Hair with a Side Part - We first saw this look in 2009/10 when the side part had its major revival. Now this stylish look is the go-to hairstyle for many men, including George Clooney. The cut is timeless and very appropriate for the style conscious.

The Undercut - Edgy is the buzzword for this cut. Short on the sides and in back, this style gets it’s roots from the iconic 1920s.

The talented men’s specialists at Salon 01 are knowledgeable about making a recommendation for a cut that will work for you.

Enjoy!

Offer good through Feb. 29, 2012.

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 Volume - A 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.

Apply - Start 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.

DESIgn By David Decker

Trends come and go and most likely come back. Who hasn’t gone through a major closet overhaul and tossed aside the old argyle sweater only to kick themselves later when it is front and center on the cover of a magazine claiming to be the hottest new style? This also seems to be the case as you look around at those same closet walls that still have floral-patterned wallpaper only Carol Brady could appreciate. So, as we tend to change our fashion style to stay current, often our sense of “home fashion” doesn’t fall far behind.

The current trend in custom home improve-ments is to cover walls with paint, texturing and artistic applications. The other option is getting out the glue and glamour by using good old fashioned wallpaper. However, to some this route may seem a tad passé and seemingly few designs withstand the test of time. So what to choose?

The positive aspects of rolling with the paint route is it can be easily changed whenever the mood calls for a refresh, or perhaps a remodel occurs in the kitchen or bath area. On the flip side, it can be hard to maintain that newly clean look as fingerprints, cooking disasters or daily nicks here and there occur more frequently than we bargain for. This leads to a “honey-do” list and dusting off the old paint cans for a frequent touch up session (most conveniently during Superbowl Sunday).

There is no question that choosing paint keeps up with ever-changing trends. That being said, insert three cheers for modern wallpaper technology and its seemingly infinite selection of design, texture and ability to convey your unique home personality.

When comparing wallpaper to paint it is gen-erally more expensive and more complicated to install, also it wears better, lasts longer and offers more design options at a lesser cost than custom hand or “faux” painting.

So therein leaves the last question when it comes to choosing this option to give your home a design touch up … do it myself or know when to call in the professionals? My best answer is that no matter who you are, about 90 percent of the time removing wallpaper is a pain and installing wallpaper is not for beginners.

You may as well leave it to the pros.
