4-H enrollment deadline moves to Jan. 15 By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Jan. 15 is the deadline for youth grades 3 through 12 to enroll in the 2014 Hamilton County 4-H program. This is a change Diversion from the March 1 deadline of last year. “Having enrollment deadline 45 days earlier will help us get through the process of enrolling everyone early,” Hamilton County Bohde 4-H Youth Development Ext. Educator Kathleen Bohde said. “It gets us started in February instead of the end of March. Clubs are already meeting.” The shift is part of a statewide initiative to streamline the process. Bohde said areas surrounding Hamilton County had different deadlines. “It got confusing,” she said. “Statewide 4-H enrollment is Nov. 1 to Jan. 15. It gets people placed in the clubs and projects a little bit earlier.” 4-H’ers can enroll at the Purdue Extension Hamilton County office on the 4-H Grounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville, or online at https://in.4honline.com through Jan. 15, at which time Bohde said the website will shutdown. She said the new system is “user friendly” and makes it even more convenient to offer enrollment, event registration, calendars and secure payment online. Those interested in enrolling after the deadline will have to visit the extension office. “We’ll have a kiosk at our office for those in need of computer access,” Bohde said. 4-H is an informal educational program in which youth “Learn by Doing.” Youth can learn life skills such as cooperation, leadership, decision-making, responsibility and more through hands-on projects in more than 60 different subject areas. “There are so many options people can choose from. There is something for everyone,” Hamilton County 4-H Executive Director Susan Peterson said. “The higher numbers of enrollment are not in livestock.” Bohde said there are three subject changes for 2015 in Hamilton County. “Weeds and 4-H Memories due to enrollment drops have been phased out,” she said. A new subject, Robotics, is a 4-H club and project. Bohde said a grant from Dow Agro will assist the club to purchase Legos and meet once a month dur-

DISPATCHes Achievement – Several Westfield students recently earned the distinction of making the fall semester Dean’s List at their schools. Students completed a minimum of 12 semester hours of credit with a grade point average of 3.5. Students include Lauren Stitz, a business administration major, at Lewis University; Anna Zwergel, at Arizona State University; and Sarah Berndt was among the 888 students named to the winter term Dean’s List at Augustana College. Berndt is a senior majoring in anthropology and art history.

ing its pilot year. “We’re all learning together,” she said. “We’ll have a small competition at the county fair. It’s more cooperation than competition.” Another change this year is the ability to add and drop projects until June 1. “This allows 4-H’ers that get into a subject on spring break and want to do it as a project,” Bohde said. The enrollment fee is $25. Mini 4-H, for first and second grade students, does not have an enrollment fee. Payment may be made online or by cash or check at the Purdue Extension Hamilton County office. Hamilton County ranked as one of the largest programs last year with approximately 2,000 4-H’ers. “We fully expect to be at or above 2,000 this year,” Bohde said. For more information, visit www.ag.purdue.edu/ counties/hamilton or call 776-0854. The Hamilton County 4-H Fair is July 16 through 21.

He is trying to learn Italian so that he may add it to the languages he already speaks so poorly – French, Russian, German, Spanish and Pennsylvania Dutch – that when he tries to use them, native speakers beg him to return to English.

The Westfield Board of Public Works and Safety has approved the fire department’s request to lease/purchase two vepublic safety hicles and two specialty saws for $66,812.99. Fire Chief Joseph E. Lyons said these vehicles will be replacements for vehicles which are currently in use. The fire department has developed an obsolescence strategy to minimize costs of repairs and to maximize trade in values. “The life cycle of the Ford F250 is intended to be used as Lyons a staff vehicle for three years then moved to use as a utility vehicle in which one of its uses will be for snow removal,” Lyons said. “The life cycle for the Ford Interceptor will be used as a staff vehicle and then moved to use as a pool vehicle. The vehicles that are being replaced will be moved to use as pool vehicles and allow us to liquidate at least one of the current pool vehicles.” Lyons said the two specialty saws are to replace ones that need to be changed due to normal wear and tear. Costs include: 2015 Ford F-250 XL pickup truck

4WD, $29,376; 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Utility AWD, $26,792; Vehicle lights and siren equipment, $6,084.99; and Cutters Edge saws, $2,280 each. Public safety reports • The Westfield Police Dept. had 778 calls for service in November (just one more than in October) including 29 for theft (tied for the second least in 2014), 19 for assault and two for burglary. Westfield police made 48 arrests – 52 for misdemeanor charges, 18 were felony charges and 17 were alcohol or drug related. On the traffic side, WPD issued 601 citations and 835 written warnings. November had 58 traffic accidents: 39 property damage, 10 personal injury and nine hit and runs. • The Westfield Fire Dept. responded to 218 incidents in November – the third highest of any month in 2014. Of the 218 incidents, 90 were fire related (with four building fires totaling $155,000 in estimated damages) and 128 were medical related. Officials said 174 incidents (81.3 percent) were inside city limits, 19 (6.3 percent) were inside the township and 25 (12.3 percent) were outside of Westfield assisting other agencies. As of Nov. 30, the department has responded to 2,198 calls.

Group to learn about Lincoln news@currentinwestfield.com

The Hamilton County Civil War Roundtable will host Dr. Brian Dirck on Jan. 21 to speak on the topic of “Lincoln’s Law Practice.” He will cover Lincoln from the time he arrived in Indiana at age 6, until he left at age 21. These were some of the most important, informative years of his life, Dirck and Dirck will address just what Lincoln saw and did while a Hoosier: his upbringing, education (or lack thereof), relationships with his parents and neighbors, and some of the social, cultural and religious influences of his Indiana life on his later years as a politician and president. Dirck’s most recent writing, “Lincoln the Lawyer” explores the origins of Lincoln’s desire to practice law, his legal education, his partnerships with John Stuart, Stephen Logan, and William Herndon, and the maturation of his far-flung practice in the 1840s and 1850s. Doors open at 7 p.m. in the Lily Theatre of Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, 13400 Allisonville Rd. There is no charge for the event and guests are welcome.

Meet your teacher, Amy (Schoenberger) Abriani Grade/subject: Seventh- and eighth-grade wellness at Westfield Middle School Number of years teaching: Seven Background/schooling: Lafayette Jefferson High School; bachelor’s in health education, Ball State University; and master’s in curriculum and educational technology, Ball State. Why did you become a teacher? Being in the school environment has always felt like a great fit for me, but it wasn’t until I was four years into my elementary education degree that I figured out my passion for teaching health and wellness. Middle schoolers are about as fun (and by “fun,” I mean interesting, unpredictable, dramatic, funny and brutally honest) as they come. It is truly my dream job. What goals do you have for your students? I hope to instill an interest, a passion, a desire, (no matter how big or small) for starting healthy habits and striving for wellness in all my students. What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? As much as we do not think

our children are watching and learning, they are. Being a positive role model at home is the best thing a parent can do. Those healthy habits and behaviors are influenced far more from home than any year’s worth of lessons I can offer. What is your favorite movie? I love watching movies! My favorite movie has always been “The Never-Ending Story” but a close second is a documentary I watched called, “Mile ... Mile and a Half” about hiking the John Muir Trail – a new life goal of mine. Who is your favorite musician or band? Lana Del Rey, Florence and the Machine and Wilco are amongst my top listening these days, but I can never get enough Reggae. What’s something your students might not know about you? Even though I was on every sports team in middle school, I mostly played right bench with a little bit of left bench in any sport that involved a ball. Therefore, I run.

WHS junior Jensen Bailey represents city, nation in New Year’s Day parade in England By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com As most of her classmates watched the ball drop in Times Square, Westfield High School senior Jensen Bailey was cover story thousands of miles away in London celebrating the New Year. From Dec. 26 through Jan. 2, Bailey joined 254 girls as part of the Universal Cheerleaders Association in England. “I met so many amazing girls and I got to see and do things I never would have been able to do otherwise,” Bailey, 17, said. Bailey said the holiday celebration was unlike anything she has experienced or seen. “New Year’s Eve in London was very different,” she said. “There were like 700,000 people. There were fireworks everywhere. Everyone was so excited. There was an entire celebration during the day. Streets were blocked off everywhere. You couldn’t really do much because everything was closed. Everything was just very fun and festive. It seems like a holiday that is much bigger than any other holiday in London.” The next day was just as big as Bailey marched in the New Year’s Day parade. “It was amazing,” she said. “There weren’t a ton of groups in there. It was a two-mile parade that took three hours. It was very long but there were so many people watching, probably about 500,000 people. We stopped 20 times to perform a dance in front of people and the last time we stopped was on live television and they had confetti and lights.” While London has numerous sporting teams, they lack cheerleaders. “They thought it was really great we were there and wanted to take pictures with us,” Bailey said. “They were just really interested in our dancing.” Besides parade rehearsals, the cheerleaders were able to explore the city and see many of the famous sites including Windsor Castle, Harrods Department Store, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Tower Bridge. “I learned about the history of the monarchy and the traditions of being born in London,” Bailey said. “It’s a huge city based around the monarchy and it’s very cool it is so different but it is also very modern.” Bailey’s mother Tami said, “We are thrilled that she has had the opportunity to travel overseas and to experience a new culture. It was a

America – what cheerleading is.” At WHS, Bailey is a leader on the squad and at the school according to Beth Ellis, WHS assistant cheerleading coach. “She’s very talented, obviously being chosen as an All-American is definitely an honor,” she said. Ellis said the squad has had several of its members named All-Americans but Lexie Castor, a 2014 graduate, was the first Shamrock to travel to London last year. “I know Lexie’s trip had a definite impact on Jensen wanting to do that. There is a ripple effect,” Ellis said. “It definitely makes our younger girls work hard and try to achieve that AllAmerican status when they have the chance as well … becoming an All-American and to be given that opportunity is definitely a once in a lifetime type of thing.” Jensen Bailey, center, and other All-American Cheerleaders make their way through the two-mile New Year’s Day parade in London. The parade took three hours and began in front of Parliament. (Submitted photos)

The famous red telephone booths were just one of the landmarks stops Jensen Bailey made on her trip to London.

memory-making trip!” Bailey said the trip also showed her the importance of being a team and a leader because “you are paired with a bunch of girls you have never met before.” “They sent each of us a DVD with material we had to learn and we rehearsed it for the first time all together in London,” she said. “It taught me a lot to be very cooperative and work with people you aren’t familiar with.” Bailey said she got to know a lot of nice girls on the team and became really good friends with two teammates from Champaign, Ill. “We’re actually planning to see each other in February,” she said.

Bailey said her performing background started at age 4 as a dancer at the Carmel Performing Arts Theater. “When I was 7 I started gymnastics and tumbling and really fell in love with it,” she said. “I started doing All-Star cheerleading a couple years later and tried out for the middle school team and loved it. I started as a varsity cheerleader my freshman year. I also want to continue cheerleading in college.” Tami said cheerleading is her daughter’s passion. “Cheerleading has really contributed to her growth as a person,” she said. “Setting goals and being a part of a team are two of the life lessons she has gained from cheerleading. She has made life-long friendships both near and far also.” The WHS Cheer Team was at Indiana University for cheerleading camp during the summer and tryouts are held there every year for the All-American team, for those showing exemplary skills in motion technique, dance and jumps. “I tried out last year and made it and tried out again this year and made it. I decided this year I was going to go to London because I was looking forward to it ever since last year,” Bailey said, adding she plans to tryout again as a senior. “It’s a big group of girls from all across the country and we basically represent cheerleading in

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

We knew this day was coming Sometimes it’s really difficult to let go. When we founded our enterprise back in 2006 we had one newspaper, and every ounce of our focus went directly into it. Now, eight-plus years later and on the brink of launching Current in Geist, our sixth title, on Jan. 27, we actually have let go, in a sense. As we continue to grow our company – and we will add titles well beyond Central Indiana – we’re not nearly as immersed in the news and information the papers convey on a weekly basis or that our web sites do “as news happens.” Our time is fairly fractured, and we are pulled in several directions; that’s actually progress. And so we have relinquished control of the content management of all titles to Sophie Pappas, who now is our editorial director. All the managing editors will report to her –a drastic departure for us – because it just makes good sense. Sophie came to us last year, having moved back to Zionsville from Iraq, where she was a freelance reporter for multiple media organizations. An Indiana University graduate, her experience is deep, given her relative youth, and she has distinguished herself at Current in multiple ways as a managing editor of one title and eventually two. In coming around to this decision, we had some give and take with Sophie about where we saw the news organization going, and her vision aligned perfectly with ours. She is a believer in research, which, as you might know, powers our content decisions and has since Day 1. She is as organized as they come, she in inventive and she is a solid leader. Having her at the helm allows us to focus on revenue and growth strategies. We have high confidence in her abilities to take our products to the proverbial “next level.” Sophie will want to hear from you, so send your comments, tips, ideas and otherwise pertinent information to her at sophie@youarecurrent. com. You’ll find her virtual door to always be open. Young lady, the wheel is yours. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Mind the gap

Commentary by Terry Anker

Our British English language progenitors are often despaired by our misuse of the words they’ve given us. To be sure, we’ve taken some of the aristocratic air off of the mother-lounge; but in fairness, we’ve also managed to incorporate dozens of new words, ideas and languages and made what could have died with the sun-set of the Empire into a living and vibrant lexicon. In London, one rides a lift, rents a flat, and minds the gap – while we colonials take an elevator, lease an apartment and watch our step. Over lunch on Jan. 22 at Oak Hill Mansion in Carmel, Gov. Mike Pence with a panel of business and community leaders aim to address the “skills” gap. Inspired by the event invite and amused by how our linguistic forbearers might have interpreted the couplet, I undertook to better understand the phrase. The “gap” refers to the space between skills required for a job and the skills possessed by the would-be jobseeker; but it also indicates a significant breach

between employer expectations of manner, creative thinking and collaboration. In fact, a 2013 survey of 500 top US executives cited a gap of soft skills as twice as important as technical ability. Leadership and computer ability combined made up the remaining 25 percent of the concern. Is it more difficult to teach someone to keep their elbows off the table or chemistry? The comparison is simplistic; but it manifests a fundamental truth. In failing to inculcate social order across all communities, we may be unintentionally perpetuating isolation, segregation and unemployment. Kudos to HCLA for creating this opportunity for regional discussion (to attend, visit www.hcla. net). The Brits may be right when they urge us to “mind the gap.” A misstep now could be fatal.

Q U O T E   O F  T H E   W E E K Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one’. – C.S. Lewis

My husband Doo is really annoying me right now. He’s planning his third (or maybe fourth; I’ve lost track) ski trip in as many weeks while completly ignoring my panicked pleas to cease and desist. Do men simply not get how tough it is to be left alone, nay abandoned, with kids during the winter months? Does he not understand that for every night he is gone I’ll morph into a strung-out single mom battling homework and volleyball practice and most likely an illness or two? Why does Doo put me through this Every. Single. JANUARY! And of course, I can never remember to just let him play out his fantasies. Instead, I release my inner Kraken with all the reasons he simply must not go: “We can’t afford it.” “Who will put Maddie on the bus?” “Presidents Day is a ridiculous time to ski; crowds and ticket prices skyrocket.” “But you already have two trips planned!” “Waa, waa, waa!” As you might imagine, my litany of negations never goes over well. In fact, it generally has the opposite effect, making Doo more determined than ever to have his way. Case in point, he’s currently adding March dates to his snow sabbatical. “Quit raining on my parade!” he growls. He may have a point. My bitter old ninny routine does dash a few hopes. But Doo is so myopic when it comes to scheduling fun that I feel compelled to provide clarity. He doesn’t consider childcare, carpool logistics, kenneling, money, really anything that goes into preparing for his jetting off to Breckinridge and leaving me at home. And even though I’m confident he’ll eventually face the facts- that a couple of weekends is more than enough to placate his Rocky Mountain yearning- I’d just like to have him validate my concerns before stomping off to sulk in the corner. Or better yet, approach the conversation with “I know I’ve been working a lot, but I’d really like to spend some time with [insert male friend]” and “I understand it will be a pain for you managing everything while I’m gone, but skiing is my passion.” Unfortunately, so is boating and hunting. He goes through the same neurosis at the beginning of each summer and fall as a new season beckons: “Two months in the Bahamas!” “Eight weekends hunting!” “I love being independently wealthy with no kids!” Alas, it’s usually not until after I’m all lathered up that he returns to this world. I need to remember that I married Doo because he’s a dreamer and because he challenges me to step outside my perfectly practical cube of a box. I just wish it didn’t happen every January. Peace out.

Palladium CEO reflects on her first two years

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrentcom

Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, president and chief executive officer for The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, admitted she has a wish list. on stage “I absolutely love Leonard Cohen and I would love to present Leonard Cohen,” she said. “I’d love to present Santana and Dolly Parton. There are many reasons why that may or may not happen.” Moskalenko said those would be three artists she would love to present that she hasn’t had the opportunity to do so yet. Moskalenko, who started her job in August 2012, shared with Current some thoughts on what she has observed during her first tenure.

Diavolo: “Architecture In Motion” – Brace yourself for a full-throttle evening of entertainment that combines the artCARMEL istry and beauty of dance with the power and gravity-defying feats of world champion stunt performers, gymnasts and martial artists at 8 p.m. Jan. 16 and 17 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts, 3 Center Green. Thrilling and playful, Diavolo creates a powerful and provocative production that will amaze you. Internationally renowned for the unique way in which they reinvent dance, re-imagine theatre and redefine thrills, Diavolo takes movement, athletics and daring to the extreme, creating abstract narratives about the human experience using surreal architectural set pieces. For more information, call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

What performers have resonated most with the Paladium audiences? “As a non-profit, mission-driven organization our goal is to provide a variety of offerings to the community. Now the most popular, and we measure that of course by ticket sales and attendance, is the country series and the songbook series. Those are the strongest genres so to speak. However, we have different performers that do quite well. So when we have ‘80s rock or early ’90s rock artists they sell quite well.” Are most of those country and Songbook performances sold out? “We do live in a culture that is very celebritydriven. The sellouts are always going to be the artists who have very high visibility. For example, Tony Bennett was a sellout. Willie Nelson was a sellout. The artists who have attainted celebrity status sell out. Even in the classical music genre, where we present someone like Yoyo Ma. He’s a cellist who has achieved celebrity status worldwide. When we present Yoyo Ma, we know we’re going to sell out the hall. In the spring (April 26) we are presenting Itzhak Perlman, who has also reached celebrity status and we’ll sell out the hall. Then you present a performer who may not have that visibility in any genre whether it’s country, classical or jazz, and it’s more of a challenge to sell out the hall. As a missiondriven organization, we believe that strengthening our programing is not just presenting high-visibility or celebrity-status artists but it’s also to push the envelope in introducing new artists and introducing artists we know will not sell out the hall. But we also know it will introduce our community to new music or art forms. It’s very important we remain innovative in that way and we give artists the opportunity to present their work to Central Indiana. While the finances are very important, it’s not

ber so we can kick off our fifth anniversary in a big way.”

Is there any genre that doesn’t connect with the Center’s audiences? “Contemporary dance is not something that the masses are attracted to. It’s important to present movement but it’s also a challenge. For me, it’s one of the exciting things to present.”

Do you have personal favorite? “I have lots of favorites. I love attending classical music at the Paladium. The acrostics are perfect for classical musical. It’s a wonderful experience to sit in the Paladium and listen to an orchestra play music. It’s really unequalled.”

Is there a timetable for announcement of the 2015-16 lineup and will it be a similar mix? “We expect to make our lineup announcement in late spring. We’ll present some big names and at the same time we’ll present new artists. At the same time, we’ll present artists that appeal to a younger generation. I think the mix will be the same. We hope to have increased performances, especially since it’s our fifth anniversary (the Paladium opened in January 2011). We’ve moved our annual fundraising gala and Great American Songbook Hall of Fame to October. The past few years it’s (the gala) been in June. We moved it to Octo-

What’s the best part of your job? “When the performances are going on, the best part of my job is to look at the faces of our patrons because the experience of enjoying music is everything from ecstatic to joy to happiness. Sometimes it’s a transformational experience and you see it depending on the type of music. Unless I’m out of town, I’m at the Paladium for every show. I see people’s faces and the experiences they have with family and friends. At the end of the day, that is why I do what I do is to be able to provide those moments of inspiration and transformation to our community and the people that come to the concert.”

Young Adult program Jan. 25 news@currentinwestfield.com

Civic Theatre’s Young Adult Program will host an additional workshop hosted by industry professionals from the Indianapolis area Jan. 25. The workshop is open to all eighth grade and high school students. The first two place theater Jan. 11, and the second will be on Jan. 25. “Both of these workshops will be taught by actors that are living in the area and currently contributing to the Central Indiana theatre scene,” said Kelly Butler-Smith, YAP coordinator. “Civic is happy to welcome John Goodson and Ron Morgan and have them share their knowledge and expertise with students.” The workshop on Jan. 25 will focus on musical theatre and will be led by Ron Morgan, experienced Broadway performer, guest director and choreographer for this summer’s YAP musical, “Oklahoma!” Morgan will teach some of the western dance styles used in the show including square-dancing. This workshop will be an opportunity for students interested in theatre-style dance and will be a helpful experience for anyone hoping to audition for “Oklahoma!” this spring. This workshop will be from 2– 4 p.m. The class has a limited enrollment of 25 students and costs $25. No prior experience or involvement with Civic Theatre is necessary. Enrollment may be made at www.civictheatre.org/education/young-adult-program/yap-workshops/. Completed forms can be scanned and e-mailed to education@civictheatre.org. Additional YAP workshops will be available in March and April. “They are lessons that are not normally taught in high school theatre classes. Civic is proud to offer students these exceptional opportunities,” said Butler- Smith.

Ron Morgan is originally from Indianapolis then lived in New York City where he worked and trained in the performing arts. He was in the original Morgan Broadway cast of “Starlight Express” and “Meet Me in St. Louis.” New York production work includes industrial trade shows, cruise ships and Off -Broadway events. He has performed and/ or choreographed in more than 15 countries around the world including London and France. Morgan has choreographed parade units for Disney Productions, the Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders for seven seasons and half time shows for the Indiana Pacemates.

Top tax scams – The IRS has published its list of the top dozen tax scams to watch out for this year. Here are two of them: Misuse of trusts – scammers will try to get taxpayers to set up illegal trusts to avoid paying taxes. Don’t take the advice of a stranger offering to set up a trust. Contact an attorney or trained tax professional. Bogus charitable organizations – during times of disaster, people become very generous with their giving. Scammers will set up fake organizations to collect “donations” that are never used to help anyone. Source: www. Bankrate.com.

Forget New Year’s resolutions Commentary by Cory Black A New Year has rung in and we have likely made some resolutions to change, many not for the first time. Weight loss is wellness popular and the year starts with gyms crammed full of new faces. Unfortunately our track record for keeping New Year’s resolutions is terrible. So why do we fail? Is it because we didn’t want it badly enough or dealt the wrong cards to change? No, we fail because we still love our old habits, unrealistic goal setting and lack of planning. Successful change requires making new habits. Tony Robbins has it right that habits are based on our desire to gain pleasure and to avoid pain. To change we must associate bad patterns with negative outcomes that cause pain and new habits with the success that will bring pleasure. We can’t change solely by saying through gritted teeth “I must do this” and/ or “I won’t eat that anymore.” Eventually we go back to old habits still reinforced by our old associations.

Too often we think we need extreme changes to increase our odds, but we should be realistic about our goals. If running from the couch to the fridge makes you wheezy, commit to starting with running five minutes every day for a month instead of an hour to start reaching a marathon goal. Or commit to cooking two times a week starting out for healthier eating. It just takes time and you’ll be much less likely to quit as you build on small successes. A failure to plan is a plan to fail, whether to get in better shape or lose weight. A specific goal should be detailed even down to what you are going to do week by week. Track your progress and reward yourself as you progress. If you can’t make a good plan, realize then that you need help. Let’s forget about New Year’s resolutions that we may have already given up. We can make a real change this year. Cory Black is the owner of PointBlank Nutrition in Carmel. He may be contacted at 569-5368 or cory@ pointblanknutrition.com.

St.Vincent joins Medicare ACO - St.Vincent, a member of Ascension, the nation’s largest Catholic and nonprofit health system, has been selected as one of 89 new Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations. Doctors, hospitals and healthcare providers establish ACOs in order to work together to provide higherquality coordinated care to their patients, while helping to slow Healthcare cost growth. As of Jan. 1, St.Vincent will be one of 405 ACOs participating in the Shared Savings Program. Beneficiaries seeing health care providers in ACOs have the freedom to choose doctors inside or outside of the ACO. The ACO plan that St.Vincent is partnering with is MissionPoint Indiana LLC – a clinically integrated network of physicians, hospitals, outpatient facilities, nurses and supporting caregivers who share a common goal: help people get well and stay well. “This program allows us to take better care of our most vulnerable patients, providing them with the support they need to get well and stay well. To truly be successful, we must go beyond episodic care and put a greater emphasis on the whole continuum,’’ stated St.Vincent CEO Jonathan Nalli. ACOs share with Medicare the savings generated from lowering the growth in health care costs when they meet standards for high quality care. ACOs drive progress in the way care is provided by improving the coordination and integration of health care, and improving the health of patients with a priority placed on prevention and wellness.

Report: Obesity trends among pets keeps growing Commentary by John Mikesell There is “a greater percentage of obese pets than ever before” according to a report from the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. So, since it’s right after the holidays, and we all might PEts have over indulged, including our pets, it might be time to due a little weight loss ( in my case a lot). I know Karma is well over what her ideal weight should be, because she got way to many treats this holiday season. I am very good at suggesting what customers need to do to take weight of, but very bad at following those suggestions my self. Karma is very good at begging, and I give in way to easily. Humans aren’t the only ones whose waistlines keep expanding. Approximately 53 percent of cats and 55 percent of dogs are overweight or obese, according to the fourth annual National Pet Obesity Awareness Day study. That’s a pretty high number. “This year’s data suggests that our pets are getting fatter, we’re seeing a greater percentage of obese pets than ever before,” said association founder Dr. Ernie Wood. Since the group began conducting nationwide veterinary sur-

veys in 2007, it’s seen a study increase in the percentage of pets classified as obese or at least 30 percent above normal body weight. In 2007, roughly 19 percent of cats were found to be obese; by 2010, almost 22 percent were classified obese. For dogs, obesity rates escalated from just over 10 percent in 2007 to 20 percent in 2010, and now close to 25 percent. “One of the reasons we think the obesity rate for dogs has dramatically increased is due to a better understanding of what an obese dog looks like,” said Ward.” Veterinarians also realize how

critical it is to tell a pet owner when their dog is in danger due to its weight.” To get pets to a healthy weight, pet insurer Petplan of Philadelphia suggests owners follow these tips: • Start slow. If the dog has gained weight over the winter, exercise in moderation at the beginning of spring to prevent serious injury. • Be careful when using diet foods for your dog or cat. Not all of them provide good nutrition. All you may need to do is cut back on the treats. Most of them are way to fattening. The next thing to try is just cut back a little on your dog’s regular food. This may be all you need to do. • There are many excellent low-fat normal protein dog foods in the market place. Just stop in and check with your health food professional.

Range hoods are a great place to make a design statement and really catch the eye of viewers in your kitchen. (Submitted photo)

Why install a custom range hood? Commentary by David Decker

Although it’s not always seen as flashy or exciting, a range hood is actually one of the most important appliances found in indoors the kitchen. Range hoods typically consist of two parts. First, there is a canopy or overhang that works to capture the smoke, steam, heat and air pollution caused by cooking. Then, a fan or blower extracts all of those pollutants and pushes them out of the kitchen and through the ventilation system. Many range hoods also feature lighting that can aid with cooking tasks. Without a range hood, cooking in the kitchen becomes a big hassle, as all of the byproducts of your tasty meals, such as heat, steam, smoke and grease, stay trapped in your home. A powerful hood is designed to create a source of fresh air to flow into the kitchen, while also vacuuming up cooking contaminants. They leave your kitchen with improved air quality, and less of that sticky buildup around the cooking area that becomes a pain during cleanup time. But you don’t need to be a professional chef to install a high-quality range hood. In fact, many homeowners today are choosing to install custom designed range hoods that function both as an integral part of their day-to-day cooking, while also adding a touch of style or elegance to the

overall look of the kitchen. If you’re considering a custom-built range hood, there are literally thousands of designs that you could use as inspirational starting points. Range hoods come in a variety of construction styles. However, it’s important to remember that full-sized hoods often have more suction and power than the smaller models that fit underneath cabinetry. In the case of range hoods, the larger, higher quality models are often well worth the investment. Remember, any oils or cooking debris that is not captured by the hood can end up on your cabinets, countertops and flooring. Range hoods can be constructed from nearly any material imaginable. That’s where you have the freedom to get creative! Many homeowners choose to design custom hood designs that match the material or style of their kitchen cabinetry. You could also choose a material that really stands out against the rest of your kitchen.
