TPAN Meeting Notes From Feb. 9th
TPAN hosted a meeting on February 9th at the West 86th
Clubhouse. The original purpose of the meeting was to discuss vegetation management practices for power line maintenance with high-level representatives of Indianapolis Power &
Light (IPL). Although our motive for this meeting with IPL was
partially the result of IPL’s trimming during December of 2008,
the main purpose was to share with IPL what we have learned
about the legal rights of property owners, as well as the legal
basis for IPL’s right to trim on private property and the obligations that places on IPL. The meeting with IPL was cancelled
when it became apparent that IPL was not taking the issue
seriously. We did, however, go ahead and hold a meeting on
February 9th to inform community residents about this issue.
Before I go any further on this subject, I want to clarify something about the tradeoff between vegetation maintenance of
power lines and the consumer’s need for safe and reliable
power. TPAN and the other community and neighborhood
groups challenging IPL on this issue are not suggesting, in
any way, that consumers’ access to safe and reliable power
should be compromised. We are, however, arguing that the
State of Indiana should have a vegetation management standard as opposed to allowing individual utilities to set their own
standards, as they are currently allowed to do. The problem
is that utilities are motivated to set their standard so as to
minimize the cost of vegetation management, without regard
for property owners’ rights or interests. This is partially due to
IPL’s failure to recognize that it is obligated to compensate
property owners for any loss in value due to trimming or cutting, even when it takes place within a utility easement. Note:
Brain Injury Support Group
Awareness Indianapolis Westside
I am advocating for the Indianapolis Westside
Brain Injury Support Group. We are trying to get
the word out that there is a support group for brain
injury survivors on the West side of Indianapolis.
We meet on the first Monday of each month at the
Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana from 7 PM until
9 PM. Any questions or concerns, please contact:
Reneé Smith-Campbell at [email protected]
Thank You! Reneé

if there is a utility easement on your property, you still own
the trees in the easement, and IPL has no right to take those
trees without reasonable compensation. Typically, reasonable
compensation would, at a minimum, require the utility to offer
new plantings that are compatible with the power lines.
What we want to see established is a process that recognizes the property owner’s rights, so the utility and the property
owner know where they stand, and we want this process to
include a means by which the property owner can hold IPL to
its obligations without resorting to the usually prohibitive cost
of taking IPL to court.
Currently, our State Senator, Mike Delph, and our State Representative, Phil Hinkle, are sponsoring legislation for us on
this issue in the Indiana State Senate and House. In addition,
private parties have filed a petition with the Office of Utility
Consumer Council (OUCC), and we expect the OUCC to, in
response, file a complaint with the Indiana Utility Regulatory
Commission (IURC). Finally, private parties have filed a classaction lawsuit against IPL. Please contact me if you’d like to
be updated on where things stand.
In other news, Cindy Lamberjack reports the following about
the progress of our rural historic districts:
Both of our rural historic districts have now been approved
by the Department of Historic Preservation and Archeology
(DHPA). This is exciting because Indiana only has 2 rural historic districts in the state and none are in Marion County. The
applications will now be sent to the State Preservation Board
for review which will take place on April 22nd at the IN. Government Center Conference rooms at 1:30pm. Once we receive
their approval, the applications will be sent to the National Park
Service (NPS) for final review. This process should take 30-45
days. We could see final approval by June 2009! After NPS approval, look for historic signage placement to occur throughout
the districts! Thanks to all for your dedication and enthusiasm
on these projects. Look for more on this at a later date.
In addition, Cindy reports the following regarding the Ford
Road bridge:
The Ford Road bridge project is progressing. We now have
approvals from both Boone County Commissioners and the
town of Zionsville and funding has been secured. Submission
of a necessary design exception has taken longer than anticipated because the speed limit on 96th Street needed to
be reviewed but we are now back on track. Ultimately, on this
site, you will see a historic, metal truss bridge which will compliment the area, the historic town of Zionsville and our new
rural historic districts.
Yours truly,
Steve Jones

First-Time Home Buyers Tax Credit
Congress recently enacted legislation providing a tax
credit of up to $8,000 for first-time home buyers. This also
includes those who haven’t had ownership interest in a
principal residence in the past three-year period prior to the
new purchase. The credit is now available for purchases
from January 1, 2009, through December 1, 2009.
The tax credit (no repayment) is equal to 10% of the
home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000. You
must reside in the home as your primary residence for
at least three years or you may face recapture of the tax
credit amount.

Quick and easy spring cleaning tips
A
Have fun – Turn everyday cleaning chores
into fun, family-friendly activities. Chase your
kids around the room while vacuuming. Blast
your family’s favorite playlist and invite the
kids to dance around the house with you while
dusting. Or, when washing dishes, use the
soapy water to blow some bubbles with the
kids. With a little creativity, seemingly boring
household chores become fun games faster
than your family can say “Mary Poppins.”
nnual spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a
yearly, back-breaking cleaning marathon.
Regular maintenance is easy with a few simple
steps and will keep the dirt from piling up so you
can skip the once-a-year event that everyone
dreads. Here are some quick and easy spring
cleaning tips for the whole family to follow.
Get a game plan – Divide your home into
four zones—eating areas, living areas,
sleeping areas and bathrooms. Each week,
focus on cleaning just one of the four zones.
Spreading out the chores will mean a lighter
effort throughout the year instead of a buildup
of gunk waiting for a springtime scrub-down.
Be sure to make note of the zones on your
calendar so you don’t get swept up (no pun
intended) and forget all about it.
Get organized – Cut the clutter. Stacks of
papers, boxes and miscellaneous junk can be magnets for dust,
dirt and more. Clutter takes up the majority of your housework,
usually about 80 percent, so if you cut out the clutter, you’ll
significantly cut your cleaning time. Find storage containers to
organize and hold your family’s possessions. Even your kids
can help out; attach picture labels to storage bins so the little
ones can easily identify where their belongings should go.

Make your house do the work – Does your
home work for you or against you? If your air
filtration system is truly efficient, there should
be little dust to clean up. This is especially
important in the spring when the world comes
into bloom, which can lead to poor indoor air
quality and aggravate allergies and asthma.
A whole-home air filtration system can
eliminate up to 99.98 percent of allergens,
mold spores and other microscopic things from your home’s
filtered air, allowing you to spend less time cleaning all year
long. Reducing dust accumulation means you can dust less
and still have a healthier, cleaner home environment.
With regular maintenance and some smart steps, you’ll find
plenty of time to get out and enjoy spring, rather than focus
on one massive home cleanup.

Spring Has Sprung
By David Brattain
Well, maybe not quite yet, but that’s not stopping anyone
from clearing the clutter and cleaning up—and just about
everyone has “spring fever.” Spring break plans have long
been made, and family pets are lining up for grooming.
For many of us it’s a time to refresh and rethink who we are
and what changes we want to make in 2009, both personally
and professionally. Number one on my agenda is losing
weight, followed by connecting with my teenage children (not
easy), remodeling the kennel and—what should have been
number one on the list—self-evaluation. Am I getting smarter
as I get older? (That’s a tough one.) Are we more giving in
2009, caring about others before ourselves and making a
difference in someone else’s life?
Spring of 2009 is tough on many of us in varying ways, but
it’s also a new beginning. As we are forced to change our
habits and attitudes, let’s welcome the challenge.

Skin care secrets to spring into the new season
your skin’s production of natural oils. Switch to a lighter
moisturizer, one that is not oil-based, and that includes
a higher SPF protection for the happy hours you’ll be
spending outdoors in the sunshine.
• Update your makeup for the season – Just as your
makeup changes palette from season to season, so
should the physical qualities of your makeup. Use a lighter
foundation, perhaps substituting a powder foundation for
liquid. Replace your moisturizing lipstick or lip balm with a
lighter gloss that won’t leave lips feeling weighted down or
oily. Put away those cream-based eye shadows for lighter
powders that won’t clump or run in warmer temperatures
and humidity.
• Glow smart, not risky – Nothing says spring like
a healthy glow, but traditional tanning achieved by
sunbathing or going to a tanning salon can significantly
increase your risk of skin cancer. Instead of getting a
glow the risky way, opt for self-tanners. Today’s sprays
and creams can help you achieve an even, naturallooking tan without exposing your skin to harmful
ultraviolet rays.
Skin care should change with the seasons. With winter
drawing to a close and warm weather on the horizon, now is
the time to think about updating your skin care regimen for
spring.
• Put the brakes on breakouts – Warm weather means
more fun in the sun, but it also means more sweating and
more chance for acne breakouts. Ditch harsh chemical
remedies or over-the-counter options that just don’t work
in favor of a more natural way to control breakouts—heat.
A simple hand-held device, ThermaClear “zaps” pimples
and blemishes quickly and easily, even in their earliest
stages of development. A two-second application of heat
can clear blemishes up to four times faster, sometimes in
as little as 24 hours. Go to www.thermaclearbeauty.com
to learn more.
The transition from winter to spring is probably one of the
most remarkable in nature—and for people, too. Winter
snows melt away to reveal spring buds, and bulky sweaters
find their way back into closets in favor of lighter, freer
attire. Your skin care regimen should also leave winter
behind. Here are some tips for making the transition from
winter to spring skin care:
• Eat for your skin’s health – You probably already know
to avoid oily and fatty foods that can contribute to skin
problems. But don’t forget to eat positively for your skin’s
health as well. Take advantage of warm weather’s produce
bounty to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables that are
good for your skin, such as leafy greens and antioxidantrich fruits and berries.
• Exfoliate – No matter how diligent you are with winter
skin care, some buildup of dry, flaky skin is almost
inevitable thanks to heavier clothes and dry air. To leave
skin smooth and healthy—and to prepare for the warm
weather ritual of hair removal—use a good exfoliant in the
shower. Don’t, however, use strong scrubbing exfoliants
on the face, as they can actually damage skin and cause
minute tears and abrasions on delicate tissues.
• Survey your skin – Just as you visit a general
practitioner or gynecologist to take care of your internal
health, you should have an annual skin exam by a
dermatologist. If you haven’t already had a complete
skin survey, schedule one as the spring begins and
repeat again at the same time next year. Your doctor
will catalog all your natural beauty marks, moles and
variations in skin tone and compare from year to year
to ensure none change. Changes in natural blemishes
can herald a more serious problem. Early detection
has been cited as one of the most important ways to
effectively treat skin cancer.
• Adjust your moisturizer – Winter’s dry air called for a
stronger moisturizer, but warm weather brings increased
humidity, which in turn can make you sweat and increase

Gardening With Children: Green
Thumbs Grow Inside, Too!
By Lee Ann Balta, Director of Small Blessings, Inc.
In contemporary life many children live in apartment buildings or townhouses and don’t have backyard access to
a garden plot. But that doesn’t mean they can’t reap the
benefits of gardening, too! Parents can just move the action indoors—the process is the same, just on a smaller
scale.
For indoor gardens you’ll need containers. Any container
will do. Sure, clay pots are great, but kids can be playful by thinking of creative containers, such as old rubber
boots, plastic-lined hats, coffee cups, buckets or play dump
trucks. Anything that can hold soil can be a flowerpot. Just
teach kids to layer pebbles at the bottom under the soil so
water drains away from plant roots. When possible, put a
drainage hole in container bottoms so excess water can
escape; otherwise plants drown! Find a sunny spot indoors
and water when the soil is dry. That’s it!

Makeover of the Month
By Kevin Spees, DDS
This month, I’m featuring a smile makeover that I did more than 10 years ago.
This is Sheila. Dark stains and mottled
enamel made Sheila’s smile dull and
grey. These conditions both occur during tooth formation, so when the teeth
come in during childhood, they already
look discolored. Many of the causes
of this type of discoloration, such as
tetracycline drugs and uncontrolled high
fever, are more closely monitored now, so it’s much less common and is seldom seem in people born after about 1980.
These grey stains are difficult to mask and seldom respond
to bleaching because they are completely throughout the
tooth and tend to become darker as you move deeper into
the tooth. Porcelain laminates are really the only option to
achieve a whiter smile and still have natural-looking teeth.
One word of caution: If you have grey stains, seek out a
dentist with experience treating your condition. This is the
most difficult stain to correct.

• Cut back perennials as needed (this includes grass) early
to ensure that the new growth will not be damaged.
• Fertilize perennials now. This will provide each plant with
the nutrients to give you the best look for the season.
We have dedicated an area for kids to learn about growing plants,
along with toys, games and coloring books to use when they visit
the store. This spring we will have pots and seeds available for
the kids to plant and take home to watch plants grow.

Make a checklist of gardening needs, projects and outdoor
activities that you will try to complete this spring. Here is a quick
list of items that you might want to include on your list:
.
aPRIL 2009
• Apply a pre-emergent to your planting beds to prevent weed
growth. Check the label for plant information to ensure it is
compatible with the plantings in your landscape.
• Edge beds and apply hardwood mulch to your planting
areas. This will also help prevent weed growth, conserve
moisture, enhance the appearance of the plantings and will
later become organic material and add nutrients to the soil.
• Prepare your containers for planting for the season. Pansies
are a great way to get an early splash of color.

not be using to a local food pantry—a wonderful beginning for
others. Fill your pantry and refrigerator with fresh foods and
basics as well as favorites and start cooking!
Strong Styles Hair Salon – Brenda Strong – Add a splash
of color this spring. Ask your salon professional to add a burst
of blonde through the top of your hair and around your face to
complement your existing color. It will make you feel like you
just got back from the beach.
Akard True Value Hardware – Leigh Ann Akard – An ounce
of prevention can go a long way as spring begins. Now is
the time to apply pre-emergent products to your lawn and
flowerbeds to kill weeds before they start. Using a product that
contains a fertilizer will not only stop weeds and crabgrass
but will help build stronger roots in your lawn.
Corner Vise Gallery & Frame Shop – Barbara Jennings
Spring’s re-awakening makes it my favorite season of the
year. It’s so exciting to see the flowers begin to bloom and
be able to open the windows to let in the fresh spring air. We
usually open the gallery’s doors and welcome visitors in to
show them how they can freshen up their homes with beautiful,
maintenance-free gardens in the form of artists’ renditions.
Sura Spa – Dr. Randy Shoup and Dr. Carol Walters – Spring
is the perfect time to get a fresh start on a wonderful summer
of looking amazing and being healthy. Procedures such as
cosmetic dentistry, laser hair removal and Hydra facials—plus
Botox and dermal fillers (provided by a doctor)—are all
wonderful ways to help you look and feel your very best. Try
IPL (Intense Pulse Light), a skin resurfacing laser treatment,
to make 50-year-old skin look 25!
A Better View Window Cleaning – Brian Paxson – Cleaning
your home inside and out, from top to bottom, is a tradition in
the spring. Having someone else do your “spring cleaning”
for you frees up your schedule so you can enjoy more time
outdoors when the weather warms up.
Eagleson Landscape – Bill Eagleson – Spring is almost
here! As the owner of a landscape company, spring is one of
the most exciting times of the year for me. More so than most, I
want out! Whether you are gazing out upon a less-than-exciting
garden situation or planning your summer “staycation,” a
landscaping service is your answer. Let’s see those flowers!
Lion’s Club – It’s spring—go outside! One of the best ways
to enjoy the warmer weather is to take a trip to the park. You
can watch—or join—a baseball game while the kids play on
the swings. Or take a hike and soak in some nature after a
day indoors. Remember that your local park provides hours
of free, healthy fun for the whole family.

Curves Partners with Avon to Continue Women’s Fitness Study
Last year, 20,141 participants in the single largest women’s
fitness study ever conducted reported losing a total of two
elephants--8 tons. Park 100 Curves is now looking for local
women to participate in the Curves/Avon Fitness Study as it
continues in 2009.
Participants will have access to the Curves workout for 30 days
for just $30, and must complete at least 12 workouts over a 30day period, with a minimum of three workouts per week. In addition, participants will receive pre- and-post fitness evaluations,
results you can track and compare and supervised training from
a Curves trainer. As an added incentive, each participant who
completes a post-fitness evaluation at the end of the study will
receive a free gift courtesy of Curves and Avon.
“We are particularly interested in comparing results from this
year with last year,” said Park 100 Curves owner Debb Avery.
“Now that we have CurvesSmart, the world’s most advanced
personal coaching system, we expect participants to see even
greater results over the course of the 30-day study than those
who participated in the study last year.

“With so many fitness choices, this is a great, no-obligation
way for women to see the actual results they can get in just
30 days at Curves. And if they want to join when the study is
over, their $30 goes toward the purchase of a membership,”
said Avery. “Our goal is to provide women with a proven weight
loss program at a price that fits in today’s budget.”
The Exercise and Sports Nutrition Laboratory at Texas A&M
will continue evaluating the research and analyzing the results,
which will then be published in various journals. Preliminary
numbers from the initial 2008 Curves/Avon Fitness Study
reported 20,141 participants losing approximately 36,000
pounds (18 tons) and approximately 75,000 inches (21 football
fields) in just 30 days.

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
A
Out on the Town
rt enriches, it inspires and it is an integral part of what
makes a healthy community. Central Indiana is fortunate
to be home to one of the country’s most prestigious arts
organizations, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (ISO).
The ISO, founded in 1930, performs more than 200 concerts
every year, including their pops and classical concerts, held
at the Hilbert Circle Theatre, and their popular Symphony
on the Prairie series, held each summer at Conner Prairie
in Fishers.
Recently, Capture Media invited Centennial residents Jim and
Mary Ake and Tom and Lynn Ancich, along with their friends
John and Cheryl Striewe, to an ISO performance as part of
our “Out on the Town” series. The couples were treated to a
performance by well-known singer/pianist Michael Feinstein,
who performed songs from his most recent Grammynominated album, “The Sinatra Project.” The couples gave
the performance a standing ovation, stating that the ISO
was wonderful, as always, and that Mr. Feinstein was a
pleasant surprise, “flawless in both his phrasing and his song
interpretation.” They also noted that the performance was just
part of their remarkable Valentine’s evening. When stepping
into the lobby, they were greeted by courteous staff members
and enjoyed food and beverage stations serving strawberries
with a chocolate dipping sauce and wine.
The ISO is one of the few full-time symphony orchestras in the
country and is the largest performing arts organization in the
state of Indiana. Associate Director of Communications Tim
Northcutt notes that guests can expect great music played
by superb, world-class musicians at every performance. ISO
musicians come from all over the world and are each at the
top of their field. According to Tim, the ISO is also involved
with extensive education programs throughout the state
and prides itself on its community outreach programs, such
as Artist Encounters, Symphony on the Move, Words on
Music and the incomparable Metropolitan Youth Orchestra,
dedicated to enriching and transforming the lives of young
people in positive ways through music.
The ISO is open and accessible to everyone, with programs

Orchestra’s Valentine performance.
and performances meeting every taste. Past performances
have included everything from the expected—Bach, Brahms,
Bernstein, Tchaikovsky—to the surprising—guest Peter
Frampton and the music of the Beatles. Upcoming performers
include Art Garfunkel and children’s favorite Dan Zanes.
What every performance includes is the breathtaking skill of
the ISO itself. It is true that music is feeling, not sound, and the
accomplished musicians of the ISO create phenomenal feeling.
Jim Ake mentioned the awe and the power that derived from
the music itself and stated enthusiastically, “The Indianapolis
Symphony is part of Indiana. It is one of the high points of our
entertainment offerings in the city. You can count on a great
evening of entertainment anytime you go. It doesn’t matter if it is
classical or pops, their presentation always seems original.”
Each guest finished the evening transformed and inspired
and couldn’t wait to return for another performance, proving
again that art, and the ISO in particular, develops educated
and compassionate people more thoroughly engaged with
themselves, their community and their world.
For more information on the ISO or to hear excerpts
from past performances, you can find them online at
indianapolissymphony.org.

Lifting the Face
By Catherine Winslow, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Q: I am not ready for a face-lift but want
the waddle under my chin to go away. Will
liposuction work?
A: Younger patients can see amazing results
with minimal downtime (two days), cost
(around $2,000) and a small incision. Usually
performed under sedation, liposuction is a
great way to contour a usually hereditary
problem of excess fat under the chin.
However, not everyone is a candidate for this simple
procedure. In the aging patient with skin that is sagging,
liposuction alone will help with excess fat but make excess
skin look worse. For these patients, there are some tricks to
optimize the jawline. Fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane
can be injected in front of the jowl in a natural hollow

(pre-jowl sulcus) to even out the jawline. Miminally invasive
surgical options are sometimes helpful.
A chin implant in someone with a small chin can pull on
skin and smooth out the jowl. However, until a Spanx is
invented for the face, a lift is still the best option to deal
with the problem.
Because there is extra skin and fat, a small amount of
liposuction combined with a lift to take care of extra skin
will give the most impressive results overall, and “last”
around 10 years.
A mini-lift is perfect for someone not quite ready for a full
face and neck lift, and improves the cheek, jawline and
neck. Risks and downtime are minimized as well.
Martial Arts

Courtesy
By André Parker
One of the principles of Tai Kwon Do is courtesy. Many
confrontations can be avoided with just a little courtesy.
What is courtesy? Many have a hard time describing what it is. We
certainly seem to know when someone is discourteous. We know it
when someone cuts in front of us in line. So what is it? Courtesy is
defined as “a respectful or considerate act, remark or manner.”
The golden rule is not such a bad rule. That is to say, simply “be
nice.” Seek out opportunities to use “please,” “thank you,” “may
I?”, “sir” and “ma’am” at least one time today, and I think the world
will be a little better off for it. It may seem trite to you, or overly
simplistic, but is it really a bad idea? There are plenty of us who
don’t do this, why not be one of the few who does.

Bill Eagleson
Eagleson Landscape Co., Inc.
Where is your business located? I run Eagleson Landscape
from a home office. The work I do is done where my clients
need me most, in their yards and on their properties. I can be
reached at 317-997-4803.
How long have you had your business? This is the fifth
year for this business, but I have been in this field for more
than 25 years. I graduated from Purdue in 1980 with a degree
in landscape management and have been in love with this
work ever since.
How would you describe your business? We are a serviceoriented one-stop shop that meets all of a client’s landscaping
needs. We can provide full design and installation services
related to lighting, paving, water features, arbors, retaining walls,
irrigation, planting—really anything to make a client’s vision for
his yard and property a reality. We also provide maintenance
such as weeding, mulching, plant care—everything that goes
into managing the look and feel of a property.
What makes your business unique? My level of personalized
service makes Eagleson Landscape very unique. I build
relationships with every client and take the time to sincerely
listen to every client’s needs. My business is landscaping, it’s
building better outdoor spaces, but really what I am doing is
building meaningful relationships with people.
What are you most proud of in relationship to your
business? I have clients who have stayed with me through
all of my different capacities in the landscaping business. I am
very proud of the relationships I have established.
How is your business growing? This is the first year
where we are actively advertising. Most of our clients are
referred through other clients.
What is your favorite part about being an entrepreneur?
Running my own business means that decisions about the
business begin and end with me. I work a lot of hours,
but I do have some say as to what hours I work. This
allows me to spend some meaningful time with my family.
Every job, however, means having a different boss, as
the needs of every client comes first for me. Running my
business allows me to make sure that the client always
comes first.
Where do you see your business in five years? Down the
road I would like to have two or three key people who can go
out and work with clients in much the same capacity that I do
now. I will always have input into every project as I like to be
hands-on, but it would be nice to have a couple of trusted people
who could go out and be my eyes and ears on a project.

Brent Cardin
ur world is filled with meaningful things,
experiences and relationships that touch and
guide us, that allow our hearts to stand up to
and defeat the world’s arrangements of power. There are
unique individuals who help show us how we fit the world,
who help others admit meaning into their lives, who lead
and guide not through necessity but through desire. Brent
Cardin is such an individual.
Brent, who is originally from northern Indiana and has
worked in Zionsville and Boone County for many years, is
a passionate and intuitive man who puts those energies to
work as the executive director of Arc Rehab Services (ARS).
ARS is a nonprofit social service agency based in Lebanon
whose mission is to assist people with intellectual and
developmental disabilities, and others in need, to achieve
their maximum potential in partnership with the community.
Brent lives this mission every day through his understanding
that the intelligence of a place is directly influenced by the
diversity it supports, by championing those he serves and
the community he loves.
As executive director, Brent oversees four distinct service
divisions within ARS. The first, Personal and Community
Services (PCS), provides specialized training to help adults
living with disabilities achieve greater independence in
their daily lives. The second service division is Mainstreet
Enterprises, a work center where people with developmental
disabilities receive training and work opportunities by
performing work tasks that have been subcontracted
from local companies. Job Connection is a service that
assists individuals with disabilities who desire a job in the
community. ARS also administers WIC (Women, Infants,
and Children) in Boone County. WIC provides supplemental
food, health care referrals and nutrition education for lowincome pregnant, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding
26

.
aPRIL 2009
mothers as well as to infants and children up to age 5 who
are found to be at nutritional risk.
Brent is quick to laud his fellow staff and community
members for the success of ARS, but the organization is
fueled by his own passion for it to succeed. For 17 years he
has led the organization to the forefront of community care.
He genuinely respects and enjoys the people he works
with. His compassion for others is contagious and can
be felt throughout Boone County through his involvement
with the Zionsville High School Transition Fair, Zionsville
Street Dance and Taste of Zionsville, the Boone County
Transportation Advisory Committee and through his current
position as a board member of the Zionsville Chamber of
Commerce. By adjusting to the needs of each individual
served, Brent Cardin is filling a need in the community
and leading and redefining an underserved central Indiana
population in a lasting and meaningful way.

Spring’s top home decor trends draw
inspiration from nature
It’s time to pay tribute to the joy and jubilance of nature as
the welcoming signs of spring arrive. The familiar will appear
refreshingly new as we take in its splendor. This spring, the
hottest trends in home decor reflect this breathtaking beauty
as Mother Nature awakes from her slumber.
Here are the top home decor trends for spring 2009:
1. Emulate outdoor serenity.
Creating a peaceful element within your home might be
as simple as adding a flower or greenery arrangement.
It’s amazing what plant life can do to liven a room. A vase
of flowers in the bathroom can make your morning routine
more cheery, or a green centerpiece on the kitchen table
might make dinner a mini-retreat from the long day at
work.
Whether fresh or silk, use leaves and flowers to bring a
touch of classic nature into your home. Bright colors have
pick-me-up appeal, while earthy tones convey calmness.
Match complementary options with the current color scheme
of your home, or combine to celebrate the harmony of the
season.
2. Make practical pretty.
The things you use on a regular basis in your home are
often the things that don’t have a lot of flair. But this spring,
practical items are getting a stylistic boost with new designs
and fresh ideas that make them stand out. Take a flowerpot
for example. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to
get a unique, beautiful pot. Flowerpots made of fabric are
undoubtedly one of the freshest ideas for spring. Create your
own by using durable yet breathable Sun N Shade outdoor
fabrics to create fun yet functional pots. From bright, eyecatching colors to earthy, subtle tones, choose fabrics that
mimic your favorite theme, whether you plan to use these
planters indoors or out. Plus, at the end of the season, you
can fold for easy storage and use next year.
3. Refresh what you already have.
With the tight economy, many people have limited budgets
for updating their home decor. Taking note from springtime
renewal, an affordable, smart idea is to update what you
already have in your home. Using polymer clay to add
spring-inspired designs to different glass items you have
around your house. For example, take a set of wine glasses
and use different shades of green clay to create leaves on
the outside of the glass. Bake the glass with the new clay
design for 30 minutes at 230 degrees F and you’ll have an
entirely new glass set to toast the spring sunset. Consider
updating other items in your home such as old vases,
candy dishes and hand and lotion dispensers. Pretty much
anything made of plain glass is a potential subject.
