with mushrooms, peppers, pineapple and cherry tomatoes, with a sweet symphony of flavors.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

BEFORE
AFTER
Makeover of the Month
By Kevin Spees, DDS
Some of the most common reasons for cosmetic dental treatment include tetracycline
staining, diastemas and severe wear. This
month’s makeover corrects all three.
The most significant issue in this case is
definitely the wear. When tooth grinding is
this severe, it causes a host of problems
such as jaw and joint pain, broken teeth
and, as you see here, shortened teeth. In
this case, the patient has ground off about
30% of the natural length of his teeth. By restoring the length
we also corrected the occlusion problems, which allowed the
ability to grind in the first place.
Tetracycline staining is rarely seen in people under the age
of about 30, as physicians are very careful about medications
taken during early childhood. Although this case is pretty
mild, many are a very dark grey with dark yellow banding
around the gumline. Bleaching seldom provides a satisfactory
result on teeth with grey stains, so porcelain laminates are
frequently the restoration of choice for patients who wish to
correct tetracycline stains.
A diastema, the space between the front teeth, is really not a
problem unless you don’t like it. I find that most people who
have one would rather not, but it’s just a personal choice.
Smaller diastemas can occasionally be corrected with a
resin filling material. In most cases, however, laminates are
a better choice to avoid making your two front teeth look too
large for your smile.
This was a fairly routine case—16 porcelain laminates and
no surprises. As you can see, the result is a great-looking
smile that is very symmetrical and youthful.

Gettum Associates Inc. • Phil C. Gettum, President
Where is your business
located?
Although I am a Westfield
resident and we work
all over Marion and the
surrounding counties, my
business offices are located
in Greenwood at 4984 W.
Smith Valley Rd.
How long have you had
your business?
I have been in business since 1987 and at the same location
for 20 years.
How would you describe your business?
Gettum Associates Inc. is a full-service Design/Build
remodeling company. What that means is that we work
with homeowners to establish a list of wants and goals
for changes to their homes. Homeowners may need more
space due to new births, kids getting older and bigger, the
combining of families or simply the desire to have an amenity
they see in new homes with more open floor plans. We
complete the design work and engineering in-house with our
own people, we build the project with our own construction
crews and we service the project after the sale. We are a
ONE-STOP remodeling company.
What makes you unique?
Most construction companies are really construction
managers of non-employee subcontractors. Although
Gettum Associates does employ the services of licensed
trade partners, such as HVAC, electrical and plumbing
contractors, we do most of the work with our own employees.
Unlike many remodeling companies who have a production
manager driving around the city visiting multiple jobs, our
Lead Carpenters and their crews are assigned to a client’s
project. It is the only project that they are assigned and that
project is that crew’s total responsibility until it is complete.
We are always on the job. Furthermore, because we design
it and build it, there is never a question of who is responsible
for whatever issue surfaces. We take full responsibility.
What are you most proud of?
We have been blessed with recognition for remodeling
excellence by our peers as being one of the top 50
remodeling companies in the United States. Our inclusion
in Remodeling Magazine’s BIG 50 Hall of Fame in 2000
was a great honor.
How is your business growing?
We are also blessed with great employees who do great

work. Because of their hard work and dedication our clients
have become our greatest cheerleaders and a prime source
for new work through wonderful referrals. That’s how we
grow. We work very hard trying not to screw that up!
What is your favorite part about being an
entrepreneur?
I love the challenge of taking someone’s outdated home and
floor plan and converting it into their dream home without
them having to move away from their friends and neighbors.
We truly make “a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.”
Where do you see your business in five years?
We intend to be right here doing the same things. I have a
son who is an active and important member of The Gettum
Team. I’m hoping he’ll let me retire—at least sometime!
Move or Improve?
You’ve outgrown your house. Maybe you’ve added a new member to
the family, or combined families, or your kids have gotten older—and
bigger—and they need more space. Perhaps you’d like to upgrade
to a more open floor plan. Is it time to move? Should you leave your
neighborhood and your memories behind?
Not necessarily, says Phil Gettum of Gettum Associates. “You don’t
have to move to get the things you see in the new model homes and
the TV shows. We can actually do that with your house—make your
dream home right where it is,” he adds. Gettum Associates has held
two “Move or Improve?” seminars so far, one in Greenwood and one
at Village Farms in Westfield, comparing the benefits of remodeling
to moving, especially in the current housing market. The seminars
address specific projects such as a kitchen expansion or makeover,
or the addition of a first-floor master suite. Attendees are given an
idea of what a project would cost, what’s involved in the construction
process and how the project gets financed. “We also dispel some
rumors about what the design process can’t do,” Gettum says. “We
can’t ‘move that bus’ and have it done in seven days.” The seminars
are geared specifically to the types of homes in the neighborhood—
ranches or two-stories, for instance—with floor plans typical of that
subdivision.
The seminars have been well received, according to Gettum. “We
had about 10 families who showed up at the Village Farms seminar,
and I bet we’ll hear from 60-70% of them,” he says. Another seminar
has been scheduled for June 24th at the Village Farms clubhouse
(located on the corner of Adios Pass and Greyhound Pass); anyone
who would like to attend the seminar is welcome. Registration begins
at 6:30 p.m. and the seminar is from 7-8 p.m. Space is limited, so
call 317-888-5681 or log onto www.gettum.com/seminar as soon as
possible to RSVP.

Backyard Fun
By Lee Ann Balta, Director of Small Blessings
Kids need a safe place to play, run around or just hang out
with other kids. And a very ideal place to incorporate fun,
play and learning activities is the family backyard. When
Mum is busy hanging out clothes or doing some gardening, the kids can enjoy some fun too in the backyard.
So how can parents generate some backyard fun for kids?
Here are some great ideas that parents can use to create
a playground in the home garden:
• Build a secret garden
• Set up backyard playground equipment
• Plant a vegetable plot
• Add a sandpit in the backyard
• Construct a cubby house
Kids just love pretending and being a part of the construction process. This provides a sense of ownership and
encourages kids to take better care of their backyard fun!
There are so many interesting ways to start backyard fun
for kids. Once some of these become a reality, the kids will
be able to have hours of fun in the backyard.

believes that every act of love is a blessing. She
respects everyone, a respect born from her belief that
she responds just not to issues or to circumstances,
but to fellow human beings and, in particular, her
community’s children.
Joey is a native Hoosier who has lived in many parts

Joey’s Style Show helps to offset some of that cost.
She is instrumental in its success, vehemently
seeking donations, procuring models and sponsors,
and organizing a silent auction. This year, after
receiving over sixty old bags as a birthday gag, she
created $10.00 grab bags that sold out in less than
twenty minutes. Last year’s event helped to raise over
$8,000. This year’s total reached $9,630 before Reis
Nichols donated an additional $2,000.
Joey then took it upon herself to seek
grants and secured a CVS Grant for
$3,000, bringing this year’s contribution
to almost $15,000, meaning that fifteen
additional Hoosier children will have a
life-changing experience.

Joey Kempler is a believer in people. She stresses
that if every person willed himself to make a small
difference in the life of someone else, the results
would be earth shattering. She appreciates that it is

Backyard Getaways
By David Brattain
“Getaways in my backyard” usually means someplace in
Indiana for me. I enjoy the state parks because I can take
my dogs.
A favorite Indiana treasure is the West Baden hotel in French
Lick. The history is phenomenal—it makes me think of the
dignity and style of the old hotel in its heyday. Isn’t it hard
to believe that a railroad was built from Chicago to a farm
town in French Lick for the healing powers of “Pluto” water?
I can imagine Al Capone, corrupt politicians and people of
wealth in general going to French Lick to bathe in its curing
waters, gamble, take in the horse races and only God knows
what else!
I also enjoy Crystal Mountain in Michigan because the air
is clean and there is much less congestion. There is more
snow, good golf and great fishing—not to mention the beauty
of the landscape. I don’t take my dog to Michigan, but I know
that he is well cared for at his favorite kennel.

With spring and summer approaching, we can look forward
to planting our annuals, trees, shrubs and perennials.
Remember when you decide to purchase and plant these
materials, you may need to amend your soil appropriately.
For example, by adding a perennial bed mix or compost you
will achieve a proper soil consistency to allow the plants to
have a healthy and vigorous growth life.
When using plant containers, you can achieve a unique look
and feel to your garden or landscape. Try to incorporate
different types of containers, along with different types of
plant materials. An example would be mixing various tropicals
with annuals or perennials. Prize point is also a factor when
using larger containers, it might be more economical to use
more tropical plants in your larger pots and by doing so, you
achieve a more personalized unique look and feel to your
garden. You might also consider herb containers; it is a great
way to have a fresh supply of herbs near the kitchen.
For helpful hints and information on container gardening,
please feel free to consult your local green house, they will
be happy to answer any questions you might have.

The History of Father’s Day
Father’s Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not
established as a holiday in order to help greeting card
manufacturers sell more cards.
In fact when a “father’s day” was first proposed there were
no Father’s Day cards!
Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea
of a “father’s day” in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special
day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart,
a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife (Mrs.
Dodd’s mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr.
Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five
children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington
state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she
realized the strength and selflessness her father had
shown in raising his children as a single parent.
father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers,
uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored
on Father’s Day.
At about the same time in various towns and cities across
American other people were beginning to celebrate
a “father’s day.”. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge
supported the idea of a national Father’s Day. Finally in
1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential
proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father’s
Day.
So as you read through this article and you start to reminisce
about the special times you and your father had or maybe
you and your son or daughter have shared take the time to
stop and make that quick call to just remind them that you
love them and that they have made your life special .
Father’s Day has become a day to not only honor your

Them Bones, Them Bones, Them Strong Bones
By Debb Avery, Park 100 Curves
When you think about fitness, you probably focus on
your weight. Who doesn’t? And you might think about
your muscles. But what about your bones?
Our bones serve as a structural frame for our skeletons,
work with ligaments and joints to allow us to move,
protect our internal organs, and house bone marrow-our main source of blood formation. So it’s important to
practice good bone health.
First, be sure to get adequate calcium. Two to three daily
servings of dairy products, like low-fat yogurt, cheese or
milk, is one option. But don’t forget the many non-dairy
calcium-rich foods such as almonds, broccoli, kale, kidney beans, tofu, salmon and even figs. Many of these
are also packed with essential vitamins and minerals
that dairy products often lack.
Just as important as getting adequate calcium is strength
training. Exercise that places heavier load on your
muscles than what they are normally used to had been
found to improve bone density and improve balance
and coordination. This reduces your risk for falls and
fractures--two major concerns for women with low bone
density.
Many women find the weight room to be intimidating or
simply unappealing. Curves offers the perfect solution.
Our unique, 30-minute total body workout uses hydraulic
resistance to overload your muscles and elevate your
heart rate, allowing you to complete your strength and
cardio training simultaneously. Plus, we offer a supportive, comfortable environment for women of all ages
and fitness levels. Come in and see what Curves can
do for you.

Out on the Town

Recently Capture Media invited residents from select
subdivisions—Saddle Creek, Zionsville Village, Royal Run,
The Preserve at Spring Knoll and Colony Woods—to attend
a special “Out on the Town” event hosted by three local
businesses who are each putting their own stamp on our

The evening began with Capture Media’s guests attending a

stylists, Allure Salon more than lived up to its reputation
as being one of Central Indiana’s most prestigious salons.
Senior Stylist Natalie Bennett educated her guests on the
latest hair styles and products, styling several types of hair
(curly, straight, thin, full, etc.) and showcasing the best ways
of replicating a salon look at home. Several in attendance
raved about Natalie and her fellow stylists, repeatedly
mentioning that every member of the staff was genuinely
friendly and interested in helping guests achieve the look
they wanted. Guests also mentioned the unique products
offered, such as Davines, Brocato and BennieFactor hair
care products not seen at most salons, and were pleasantly
surprised that while being educated on how each product
worked there was no pressure to
purchase. Several guests scheduled
appointments and all stated that they
would enthusiastically recommend
Allure Salon to their friends and family.
wines are organized by flavor profile and not by varietal,
and by the unbelievable selection of not just wines but
microbrews and unique foods and gifts. Saddle Creek
resident Brandy Martinez was excited to learn that Cork
and Cracker offers home parties where they provide wine
tastings for guests with a chance to buy. “They even deliver
wine to your door,” she added. The highest praise for Cork
and Cracker, however, was for its co-owners, who made
learning about wine fun, relaxed and interesting.
The evening ended with a visit to another Carmel neighbor,
Massage Envy, owned by Sherry and Natalie Keene.
Guests received a tour and a much-needed massage.
They were excited to hear that Massage Envy’s therapists
customize every session to meet the individual’s needs
and are highly trained to help alleviate pain, discomfort
and stress while improving relaxation, posture, circulation,
flexibility and overall quality of life. After just 15 minutes
in the massage chairs many were eager to sign up for
Massage Envy’s unique programs on the spot. Several
attendees noted Massage Envy’s professional, affordable
and accommodating hours as well as their willingness
to improve busy lifestyles. Massage Envy is open seven
days a week, offers 12 rooms and 19
therapists to aid in busy schedules.
They indicated they would definitely
be back and would highly recommend
Massage Envy to others.
Allure Salon’s Carmel neighbor, Cork
and Cracker, provided refreshments.
Guests were treated to tastings of both
red and white wines and learned about
specialty wines and how to get the best
value for one’s dollar. Co-owners Heather
Wandrei and Rebecca Zipes obviously
love what they do, and they took great
pleasure in explaining the nuances of
a vast variety of wines. Several guests
mentioned that even though they would
not consider themselves to be “wine
lovers,” the enthusiasm of its co-owners
and the relaxed and comfortable feel of
the store would definitely bring them
back. Those guests who did consider Allure Salon stylist Natalie Bennett gave Royal
themselves wine connoisseurs were Run resident Deb Weidner some great styling
drawn to the store’s unique layout as tips—and fabulous curls!

Short Sales
In today’s challenging housing market, many
homeowners are having a tough time making their
mortgage payments. This has led to record foreclosure
rates, but also the emergence of a short sale as a
possible way for both the lender and the homeowner
to avoid foreclosure.
A short sale is the process by which a homeowner sells
their home for less than what is owed to their lender. In
order to begin a short sale process with the lender, you
generally must be at least two to three months behind
on your payments. The process begins by you having
your house listed on the local MLS system by a Realtor.
At the same time you request a hardship package
from the lender who will require several documents
to be complete by the time an offer to purchase is
accepted.
We, at the Long Team, have experience with short
sales. Please give me a call.

Great Dinners Start on the Grill
cumin and oregano) and head
for the grill.
Grilled Corn with Hotlips Chili Butter
Serves six
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Pinch ground red pepper
6 ears fresh supersweet corn, husked
A spicy Hotlips Chili Butter adds flavor to your corn and
chicken.
Preheat outdoor grill or broiler. In a small
bowl, combine butter, cilantro, salt, chili
powder, sugar and red pepper. Brush
corn lightly with mixture; grill, turning
occasionally, until some kernels turn
golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove
to platter; brush with remaining chili butter.
Serve with grilled
chicken and red
pepper kabobs, if desired.
Dinnertime is a lot more fun as the grilling season gets
under way and aromas of sizzling food fill the air. In fact,
there’s a good case to make for cooking the whole dinner
on the grill. This time of year, supersweet corn from Florida
ranks high on the list of delectable grillables -- and, like
grilling, corn on the cob is just plain fun.
Ready for the Grate
Some cooks grill corn ears in their husks. But Cheryl and
Bill Jamison, authors of “The Big Book of Outdoor Cooking
and Entertaining,” prefer to “flame sear” ears stripped of
their husks. “You get a much deeper taste,” they say. Their
basic recipe calls for basting the ears with melted butter as
they grill over a medium fire. At the end comes a sprinkle
of flaky sea salt. While the corn is cooking, throw chicken
breasts, steak, pork tenderloin or sausages on the fire.
Everything will be done at about the same time.
One easy idea from Diane Morgan, author of “Dressed to
Grill: “Rub corn ears with a basting sauce like her zesty
Hotlips Chili Butter (recipe below) and grill them alongside
skewered chicken and bell pepper chunks. Then relax and
chat while dinner takes care of itself.
Dual-use Rubs and Marinades
There’s no end to the marinades, slathers, basting sauces
and rubs that make corn and other meal components taste
fabulous. For instance, whip up a Greek-style marinade
of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic and oregano -- brush
the mixture on skewers of pork chunks, corn rounds and
zucchini that very conveniently add up to a meal.
For a great chicken and corn dinner, coat cutlets and ears
with melted butter, olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Sprinkle with a Southwest seasoning blend (or salt, pepper
20
THE POINT: Connecting the Traders Point Triangle
.
JUNE 2009
Many marinades and rubs are
added before grilling so that the
foods and flavorings will really
bond. But freshly chopped herbs
such as parsley or basil are best
added after grilling the corn with
just a light coating of oil -- that
way, they’ll stay fresh and green.
When a marinade like barbecue
sauce might burn, basting at the
halfway point is the right choice.
Grill Once, Eat Twice
As long as you’re grilling, why
not cook extra? Serve corn on
the cob tonight and refrigerate
the leftover ears. The next night,
scrape off the nicely caramelized
kernels and toss with a few other
ingredients for a distinctive salsa to go with your leftover
grilled chicken, pork
or other protein.
The
Jamisons
suggest combining
the grilled kernels
with diced red bell
pepper, red onion
and a bit of corn oil.
They flavor the salsa
with lime juice and
salt and, just before
serving, fold in diced
avocado.
Grilled corn kernels
can be used in lots of
other ways. Sprinkle
them into salads
or soups, or add to
shrimp or chicken
salad destined for a
wrap.
Skewer corn with pork and other vegetables for a
quick meal on the grill
Supersweet Corn Care
Supersweet corn from Florida is in markets until June.
Today, you may find corn in or out of the husk with kernels
of yellow, white or both (bi-color) -- all of it has the same
deliciously sweet flavor. Make sure you store the corn in
your refrigerator to keep it fresh and sweet. For information
on how to keep your corn fresh, visit FreshSuperSweetCorn.

Perseverance (in nae)
By André Parker
Perseverance is the quality of being resolute, adamant, firm and
determined. Success comes easiest to those who neither give up,
nor give in. Great effort is required to achieve something of true
merit and value. Personal growth and satisfaction are best gained
from the mastery of skills. Knowledge of one’s self comes from
dedication and builds our character. The effort put into obtaining
and surpassing of a goal is paid back one hundred fold.
Here are some demonstrations and measures of perseverance:
• Goal Oriented—Focus on the objective for the desired result.
• Stay on Target —Do not be sidetracked or distracted by that
which is not relevant to your goal.
• Negotiating the Obstacle—Do not dwell on the problem in your
path. Fix the problem or move around.
• Patience—Demonstrate patience when the path to your goal
is slow or difficult. Things of great value never come easily or
quickly.
I do things every day now in Tae Kwon Do that I once thought were
incomprehensible for me to do when I first began this martial art. So,
by that measure I do the impossible every day. With perseverance,
you too can make the impossible … commonplace.
