environment for photography. There are opportunities
all around the village.

willing to try to get a group together to

email if you are interested. If you have some photography
expertise… and would like to share with others… please
let me know that also! Hope to hear from you!

Place names in The Village – Part 1
Upon spending time in The Village, it becomes apparent United States history has inspired the naming of our many
parks, ponds and streets. The list was compiled by Tom Huston, one of the owners of Brenwick and one of the
masterminds behind the concept of The Village. Not all street names will be covered. Those omitted are primarily
place names, generic names, or names that were modified to satisfy Hamilton County regulations. Over the next
4-5 months over 70 parks, ponds and streets will be identified. Can you and your family find them all?
Abercorn Street. Title in Scottish peerage borne by members of the Hamilton family. Abercorn also covers the
Earls and Marquesses of Abercorn, all named after Abercorn, West Lothian, in Scotland.
Adams Green. 1) Named for John Adams, President of the United States (1797-1801). 2) Named for John Quincy
Adams, President of the United States (1825-1829).

Take Me Out to the Ballgame
Did you know that we have a beautiful baseball field right here in the village? Neither does
anyone else! NO ONE plays baseball on this beautiful diamond and we would LOVE to have
some kind of team using it. Are you interested in organizing a mixed league, a little league team,
or maybe just a pick up game one night a week with your neighbors?? We would love to see this
field used.
Please check it out, it is located in the section west of Towne Rd., known as West Village and it’s just west of
Goldwater Pool. It’s wonderful and it’s just sitting there waiting for a team or teams to use it! They say if you
build it they will come..well it’s built..so we hope you will come and enjoy it this summer. There is also a tennis
court nearby and a basketball court! If you have any questions please contact Audrey Nelson at 450-0732 or

Both of these new religious groups have recently moved and
build new worship locations in our neighborhood. They are
welcoming us to see their new facilities and learn a little about
their beliefs. It should be a great learning opportunity for all
of us. After our tours, we will proceed into Zionsville.

If you are interested in participating in the spring sale, simply
gather your unwanted clothing, toys, and household items,
mark the price you are asking, open your garage door on
Saturday, May 9th and start collecting your profits! As they
say, your trash may be someone else’s treasure!
Workshop at The National Bank of Indianapolis
The Social Committee will put up signs throughout all the
neighborhoods in the Village and place ads in several
newspapers, there is no cost to you! All you have to do to let
the public know that you are participating is to put a balloon
on your mailbox and maybe put another balloon or small sign
in the front yard so people can find you. If you live in a more
remote section of the Village, you may consider displaying
additional signs or balloons.
Location: The National Bank of Indianapolis
2410 Harleston Street
Please remember to remove all your signs and balloons
immediately after the sale is over.
We will advertise sales in ALL areas of the village including
the brownstones, condos, and both sides of Towne Rd., and
131 St., so PLEASE plan to join in the fun!! Our sales in the
past have been very popular and many garages have sold
out before noon. If you are not planning to participate, please

The National Bank of Indianapolis Grand Opening
The grand opening ceremony was a big success as The National
Bank of Indianapolis welcomed the public to celebrate the opening
of the new West Clay Branch with them. Many residents attended
the ribbon cutting and reception.
In the early 1990’s, many major banks in Indianapolis were acquired
by large out-of-state financial holding companies. In response, The
National Bank of Indianapolis opened its doors in 1993 as the only
locally-owned national bank in Indianapolis. With a national banking
charter granted by the Comptroller of the Currency and a holding
company structure sanctioned by the Federal Reserve, the Bank’s
deposits carry full FDIC insurance limits.

Highly capitalized to support strategic growth in a constantly President and Chief Operating Officer, Michael S. Mauer–
evolving industry, the vast majority of The National Bank of Chairman of the Board, Tim Haak–Vice President and
Indianapolis shareholders are concentrated in the Indianapolis Banking Center Manager, Carmel Mayor–Jim Brainard,
Carmel Chamber of Commerce President–Mo Merhoff
metropolitan area – not Wall Street. The Bank’s experienced staff
has strived to offer the highest level of local service and responsiveness while supporting the greater Indianapolis
community. The results have created the largest locally-owned bank headquartered in greater Indianapolis and one
of the nation’s fastest growing new banks.
The National Bank of Indianapolis welcomes you to come in and see the bank and find out about their many services.
They will always have time to talk and you can sit and enjoy coffee and pastries when you visit. The staff welcomes
you as they continue to expand the excellent banking service that is their trademark in the community.

purchases and reconditioning, training supplies, sports medicine items, and other consumables and services.
100% of proceeds from the Cat Race will be used by the 23 athletic teams and over 25 clubs at Creekside to provide
enrichment and extracurricular opportunities for the Wildcats. You can help the school by:
1. Becoming a sponsor for the race
2. Donating prizes for the race
3. Signing up to walk/run the 5K
Entry forms and sponsor forms are available on the school’s web site and in the front office: http://www1.ccs.k12.

school fundraiser. The Studio has recently been designated as a Girl Scout Badge Community Provider Site.
Troops will now be able to visit the Village and attain badges in Arts and Architecture. In March, artists worked
with 45 students and parents at the Fall Creek Academy Charter School on an enrichment project. Of course,

The Start of a Colorful Year
By Mike Cline – Rail Trail Gardens
As spring is the beginning of the season of color, plants are
awaking with new growth. Now is the time to prepare your
landscape for the year ahead.
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:
GREAT SELECTION OF
SPRING COLOR ... INDOOR & OUT!
New At Rail Trail Gardens – “Kid’s Korner”
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.

• 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.
• 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.

HBC is a non-profit organization offering summer camps for young men and women (8-18 yrs. of age) from Indiana who
have experienced injuries from burns or who have been treated for burn related injuries in the state of Indiana. Camp
services are free of charge to the families of the burn victims, including transportation to and from camp. The cost for each
child to attend camp is approximately $1000 and is funded solely through donations received.
Through Hoosier Burn Camp events, burn survivors are able to forget about their scars for a time. It’s a place where
children with burn injuries can ‘just be kids’ for a week and not have to worry about the pressures of everyday life. They
also learn lessons about self-confidence, trust and leadership to help them deal with social stigma the rest of the year.

Bill Eagleson of 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
service-oriented 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 come 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.

Dental Implants: A Great Option for
Missing Teeth
By: Dr. Raymond Gove, DDS, Indy Dental Group
If you are self-conscious about missing teeth or wearing
dentures, there’s an alternative that may be right for you:
dental implants. Dental implants are one option for replacing
missing or badly diseased teeth. A dental implant offers
comfort and stability and, by virtue of the artificial tooth it
supports, is a restoration that is the closest thing to a natural
tooth. Dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very
natural. Surgically placed below the gums over a series of
appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a
base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture.
Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone.
Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your
replacement teeth feel more natural. Some people also
find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional
substitutes.
Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums
and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough
evaluation by your dentist will help determine whether you
are a good candidate for dental implants.

A
Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
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/
Centennial residents enjoy a night out at the
pianist Michael Feinstein, who performed songs from his most recent
Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Valentine
performance.
Grammy-nominated 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 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.

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.
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.
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

Quick and easy spring cleaning tips
nnual spring cleaning doesn’t have to
A
be a yearly, back-breaking cleaning
marathon. Regular maintenance is easy with
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.”
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.

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-
36
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.
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 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, eye-catching 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. Use
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.

Follow these tips and in just a few hours you’ll have your lawn and garden
furniture looking like new. With the money you’ll save, you can buy that

Make a clean sweep
By Tresa Erickson
Ugh.
The thought of getting out that disgusting patio set
and putting it on your freshly stained deck makes
you queasy. The table and chairs are dirty and dingy, and
the cushions are so stained you wouldn’t let your dog sit
on them, let alone someone you know.
That’s it. You’ve had it with your patio furniture. Time to
throw it out and start fresh. Or is it? With the right supplies, you can make that patio set gleam once again.
With the constant abuse from the weather, it’s no wonder
lawn and garden furniture gets so dirty. Fortunately, you
can clean it. Here’s how:
• Aluminum: Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to a
pail of warm water and sponge off the aluminum. Rinse
and let it air dry. Coat the aluminum with a clear wax
to protect it from the sun. Don’t use green wax. It will
discolor the metal.
• Canvas: Throw removable canvas into the washing
machine. Clean nonremovable canvas with a scrub
brush and some water and strong soap. Rinse off the
canvas and hang it up to air dry.
• Hardwood: Grab a pail of warm, soapy water (mild
dishwashing liquid works best) and scrub down the
hardwood with a coarse cloth. Let it dry completely and
then brush or spray on a coat of teak oil or a similar
finish. After the oil has soaked in, apply a second coat,
allow it to penetrate and then wipe away any excess
oil with a clean, dry cloth. Let the hardwood dry for 24
hours before using it.
• Plastic: As with hardwood, a pail of warm water with
a few squirts of mild dishwashing liquid will do. Wipe
away the dirt with a soft cloth. For stubborn spots, use
steel wool. Rinse off the plastic and let it air dry. To
brighten up white plastic, add a few drops of bleach
to your pail of soapy water.
• Resin: Fill a pail with warm water and a few drops of
mild dishwashing liquid. Wipe off the resin with a soft
cloth, rinse and let it air dry.
• Softwood: Wash the softwood with a coarse cloth and
some water and mild dishwashing liquid. Rinse and
let it air dry. Spray or brush on a coat of preservative
stain.
• Steel: Touch up any rust spots and clean the steel
with warm water and some mild dishwashing liquid.
Rinse and let it air dry. Oil hinges and pivots for
easy movement.
• Vinyl: Grab a pail of warm water, add a few squirts
of mild dishwashing liquid and rub away the dirt and
grime from the vinyl with a soft cloth. Don’t use stiff
brushes or bleach—you will damage the vinyl.
• Weather-Resistant Cushions: Pour a teaspoon of
dishwashing liquid, a teaspoon of borax and a quart of
warm water into a large spray bottle. Stir the mixture
well and spray it onto your cushions. Let the cushions
sit for 15 minutes, rinse well and let them air dry.
• Wicker: Clean the crevices with a toothbrush and
some wood oil soap. Wash the wicker with some
warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse well. Dry
the wicker with a hair dryer.
• Wrought Iron: Remove any peeling paint with steel
wool and touch up the areas with a rust-resistant
primer and paint. After the wrought iron dries, sponge
it off with some warm, soapy water (mild dishwashing
liquid works best), rinse and let it air dry.

Recycling Glasses Helps Millions Yearly
By Dr. Jeremy Ciano
In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions club
members to become “knights of the blind in
the crusade against darkness.” Today, Lions
are recognized worldwide for their service
to the blind and visually impaired. Members
demonstrate their commitment to sight
conservation through eyeglass recycling,
sight partnerships and countless other sight
services. The Lions SightFirst Program has
restored sight through cataract surgeries, prevented serious
vision loss and improved eye care services for hundreds of
millions of adults and children. Among their accomplishments
since 1990, the Lions have expanded 300 eye hospitals/
clinics/wards; trained 345,000 ophthalmologists, ophthalmic
nurses and village health workers; and launched the world’s
first initiative to combat childhood blindness in partnership
with the World Health Organization. RevolutionEyes is proud
to help our local Lions clubs by finding a new home for your
old and unused glasses.
Dr. Jeremy Ciano’s practice, RevolutionEyes, is now located in
Clay Terrace. To schedule your annual eye examination, please

Turn Off the TV—Turn On Play!
By Terri Bracken, Earth Explorer Toys
1023 hours. That’s how much television the average American
child watches each year. That’s close to six half-hour shows a
day—and 14% more time than is spent in meaningful conversation
with a parent. TV-Turnoff Week is scheduled for April 20-26. The
message? Find something more constructive to do with the hours
children are watching TV. For instance: good, old-fashioned
play. The benefits range from better health to stronger school
performance and richer relationships with others. Here are a few
ideas for fun things you can do with the extra family time when
you turn the TV off:
• Board and card games. Select games that suit the ages,
abilities and interests of all participating players. Earth
Explorer Toys has a great game lending library for you
to try before you buy.
• Active indoor or outdoor games. How long has it been
since you played a round of Hide and Seek or Hot
Potato?
• Books and play with stories. First stop when you turn
off the TV: your local public library. Act out parts of the
stories.
• Favorite characters from TV or books. If your child is
complaining about missing TV, have him make up his
own “show” using dolls or other toys.
Don’t be daunted if the first few days without TV are difficult. Just
stay out of the way, and you’ll soon see your child engaging in
creative, imaginative, age-appropriate play. TV Turn-off Week may
not be easy, but I predict you’ll find some fun new ways to spend
time together.

Ace Party Rental – Kelly Adams – With warmer weather
drawing near, homeowners are gearing up to entertain
outdoors. Tents provide the perfect atmosphere to gather
outdoors for graduation parties, birthday parties and
anniversary celebrations. Let a tent set the scene for your
next spring event!
To The Last Drop, Inc. – Claudia Pierson – With the
first signs of spring come the abundance of the season:
morel mushrooms, fresh herbs and the hope of red juicy
tomatoes and sweet summer corn to come. Spring is also a
great opportunity to donate those food and home items that
you will 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 Co., Inc. – 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.

Skin care secrets to spring into the new season
and increase 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 creambased 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, natural-looking 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 antioxidant-rich 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
