Family’s love for music leads to record deal By Erin Leonhard • editorial@youarecurrent.com

While most of the U.S. sat with eyes glued to the TV screen during the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVI, Fishers residents Kelly and Travis Frank found themselves dressed as gladiators on the same stage as Madonna. “Going out there at halftime, all I saw were cameras flashing all around me, and it was just a surreal experience,” Travis said. Preparation for the halftime show entailed many hours of rehearsal, peaking around five hours a day for the week prior to the performance. However, the hard work quickly paid off with a record deal. Through an organization called Actors, Models, and Talent for Christ, the Franks were able to attend a conference to meet with industry professionals based in Los Angeles and New York. From there, it was off to the races for the father-son duo. Kelly, the owner of Creative Approach Realty, has been married for about 20 years and has eight children, ranging from Travis, a senior at Fishers High School, to the youngest of 6 months old. One of the pair’s strengths lies in their ability to cater to any audience. Where Kelly prefers ’80s rock and evangelical music, Travis tends to lean toward more acoustic sounds, and has even dabbled in some rap. “It’s unique. We’re taking some of his songs and we’re taking some of mine and making a father-son album,” Travis said. “It’s two completely different genres, but the way that technology works these days, it’s really all about singles.” Although the music company will provide the necessary equipChamber to host candidate forum March 27 – The Fishers Chamber, in cooperation with the Fishers Grand Old Party Club, will sponsor a State Representative Candidate forum on March 27 at the Fishers Town Hall auditorium. The Chamber is requestHuston ing members submit questions they would like for the candidates to address. Questions may be e-mailed to cdoehrman@ fisherschamber.com. Candidates running to represent the new District 37, which Driskell includes Fishers, are Debbie Driskell (debbiedriskell.com) and Todd Huston (toddhuston2012.com).

Travis and Kelly Frank ment, the Franks plan to bring along some of their own musicians to the recording studio. “We’re hoping to include a few people who’ve helped us do concerts the last couple years on our album just because we appreciate them through the years, and their input and support. I’m hoping to get as many people involved as possible,” Kelly said. Kelly and Travis plan to travel to Oklahoma in mid-June to begin recording for the CD that should release in early fall. They will be putting together a nationwide tour with the music company after the release. “You just put your name out, make a couple CDs, do a couple gigs, anytime you get in front of a crowd you play and you never know what’s going to happen,” Kelly said.

Tip leads to drug task force arrest – On March 6, members of the Hamilton/Boone County Drug Task Force arrested Curtis Combes, 47, of Indianapolis and charged him with one count of possession of a controlled substance, a Class D felony; one count of possession of marijuana, a Class A misdemeanor; and one count of cultivation Combes marijuana, a Class A misdemeanor.

U.S. 31 construction to end early – INDOT has announced its intent to speed up U.S. 31 Hamilton County construction using contractor financing, a public-private partnership strategy enabled last year through one of Gov. Mitch Daniels’ legislative initiatives. Under this proposed plan, the project would open to traffic by the end of 2015, three years earlier than expected. In May, Daniels signed into law Senate Enrolled Act 473, which allows for expanded use of private capital for transportation improvements. Using this new law, INDOT intends to bundle remaining construction phases for U.S. 31 Hamilton County into one contract, taking advantage of low construction and financing costs.

Expanding to become St.Vincent Fishers Hospital. Opening Spring 2013 13914 Southeastern Parkway Fishers, IN • (317) 415-9000

northeast.stvincent.org

A Design for Hope.

A wArm, welcoming chApel is A criticAl component of Any cAtholic hospitAl.

So when plans were put in place to expand St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast (located at 13914 Southeastern Parkway off Exit 10 on I-69) into a 40-bed, inpatient hospital, a great deal of time and effort was dedicated to the chapel’s design. “The chapel plays an significant role in the environment of the holistic healing that St.Vincent is striving to create. This space provides an opportunity for expression of faith or quiet reflection for staff, patients and family members,”said Carl Johnson, senior project architect with BSA LifeStructures. Johnson and his team paid special attention to the form and interior design of the chapel. “The combination of the oval form, cove lit ceiling, wood detailing, symbolic stained glass, and large windows with color-tinted glazing for natural lighting create warmth and vibrancy to the space, he said. “And we collaborated with local glass artist, Claire Fox Acheson of Fox Studio’s, who designed the beautiful stained glass imagery.”

When visitors walk into the new hospital next year, a large stained glass window depicting a “Tree of Life” will greet them. According to Mary Webber, quality assurance manager at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast, the branches of the “Tree of Life”signify our associates and the hospital reaching out to the community of Fishers.

Fast Fast Fast Fast FastER Get emerGency care fast at st.Vincent medical center northeast.

“The holy family is also represented within the design, reminding us of our Catholic heritage and the cycle of life, she said. “We hope patients and visitors will also find their own personal meaning within the imagery.” Webber said a team of St.Vincent associates contributed ideas for the chapel design. The team consulted with Father Dudzinski of St. John Vianney Catholic Church to ensure the appropriate Catholic traditions within the design of the chapel. St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast has held a very close relationship with St. John Vianney since its been open three and a half years ago. “From the stained glass windows, hand-carved furniture, acoustics and the ‘flow’ of the chapel, their ideas were part of it,”said Webber. For more information on the St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast expansion, visit northeast.stvincent.org.

PHYSICIAN SPOTLIGHT

Dr. Tamra Woodworth, Pediatrician, St.Vincent Medical Group Dr. Tamra Woodworth first meets new patients right after they meet the world. “One thing we always do is actually go to the hospital and see babies for the first time there,” she said. As they grow, those babies most often show up in her office for minor illnesses and well-child check-ups. But when a more concerning issue arises, Dr. Woodworth’s four years of working in emergency pediatric care comes into play. Her experience enables her to size up the situation quickly, and determine whether a child needs more attention than a pediatrician’s office is prepared to give. Dr. Woodworth’s main office is in Suite 108 at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast. She also sees patients at 116th and Cumberland Road. “Parents appreciate the convenience of having imaging and lab services at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast,” said Dr. Woodworth. To schedule an appointment, call 317-415-9110.

At St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast, our emergency department averages 18 minutes from door to doctor— significantly faster than the national average. We also lead the country in patient satisfaction, which means you get fast emergency care in a compassionate, comfortable setting. The next time you have an emergency, go to St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast — just off I-69 at Exit 10.

New fine for tall grass in Fishers By Annie Brackemyre • editorial@youarecurrent.com

A new $250 fine will hit homeowners in Fishers who fail to cut their grass. Tall grass, constituted as anything taller than 8 inches, is being dealt with new severity by the town. This is partly because of the increased number of vacant homes. Up until this year, the procedure was the town would charge the unmaintained lawns the cost of labor to cut the tall grass. The new code includes a flat $250 penalty no matter the size of the lot, in addition to the associated labor

costs depending on lot size. A lawn that does not meet code will first receive a door-knocker outlining the infraction, and then a certified letter. A second inspection will be made five days later. If the grass has still not been cut, the homeowner will be summoned to the Fishers town court. Last year, more than 1,000 letters were sent to Fishers residents. Approximately 70 percent of the letters went to occupied homes. Lawns that fail to meet the new standard can be reported to the appropriate homeowner association, or www.fishers.in.us.

Software system saves time, improves efficiency for FPD By Annie Brackemyre • editorial@youarecurrent.com The Field Training Tracker, a software system introduced last year, streamlines and standardizes the Fishers Police Dept. training program. Design for Public Depts. launched the software in 2007 and the FPD made the switch to the paperless training system early last year. Design PD got its start when Carmel Police Officer Matt Molter recognized the need for these public organizations to cut down on paper documentation for increased efficiency. The local company now serves public works departments throughout the nation. “‘I love my work, but hate the paperwork’ is a phrase you often hear when you ask public safety employees how they really feel about their job,” Molter said. Design PD’s software is designed to not only streamline the tedious paperwork digitally, but also boost company morale in the process. The operation of public safety, with departments like fire and police stations, require increasingly large amounts of documentation. Training programs in particular require

daily observation and weekly evaluation forms. Most agencies throughout the nation still rely on hard copies of these, which fill up filing cabinets that collect dust even after employees have left. The management of these documents requires time, is costly and impacts the environment. The Field Training Tracker digitalizes forms and improves documentation efficiency while saving time. This new Web-based solution allows access to the paperwork from any computer, and the threat of lost documentation is eliminated. With digital data, the police department is able to compare training programs from a bird’s-eye view. This allows the department to compare trainees, analyze trainers and identify what areas the training is falling behind in. The advancement of taking the training program digitally will allow the police department and future public safety departments to efficiently train and employee officers, which saves tax payer dollars and best promotes the safety of Fishers.

Fishers Firefighter Josh Valentine pictured here removing the family cat. (Submitted photo)

Firefighters douse flames at Allisonville residence – At approximately 9:50 a.m. last Sunday the Fishers Fire Dept. was dispatched to the 14200 block of Allisonville Road after neighbors spotted an excessive amount of smoke coming from the chimney of a home. The homeowners were not home. Firefighters arrived to find fire in the area of the chimney on the first and second floor, and in the attic. It took about twoand-a-half hours to make final extinguishment of the fire. Two family pets, a cat and a ferret, were rescued from the basement of the home. Firefighters revived the ferret with oxygen before returning it to the family. Investigators believe the fire was accidental, starting in the area of the fireplace on the first floor. No injuries were reported. The family has made temporary arrangements for lodging.

Youth

In praise of quiet kids We’ve lowered the cost Commentary by Susan Bryant

Which type of child is “easier” to parent? The gregarious kid who loves new situations and talks to anyone easily? Or the quiet child who prefers to watch from the sidelines before trying new activities or speaking up? In our culture, being an extrovert is highly valued. Outgoing, talkative kids are seen as more socially confident, popular and successful. Introverted children are often encouraged to be “coaxed out of their shell” and be more like their extroverted peers. For those children who are naturally extroverted, they have a great set of skills to draw from to find their way in the world. Introverts do, too, just with a different repertoire of abilities. Unfortunately, however, being quiet is generally underrated in our society, especially in children. First, it’s important to make the distinction between being shy and being introverted. Shyness involves avoiding people or social situations because one feels anxious or nervous. Introversion essentially means someone is more energized by being alone than in groups. Introverts can have excellent social skills and develop great relationships; they just don’t need a crowd to do it. Here’s what multiple sources of research have determined about introverted children: • They tend to listen more than they talk. When they do talk, they say what they mean. When they really care about something, they talk a lot. • They don’t brag about their achievements because they don’t like being the center of attention, even when it’s positive. • They are very aware of their surroundings, noticing details others don’t. They concentrate deeply on subjects they find interesting.

of raising kids!!

• They want to know what things mean, what makes people tick and can reflect on their own behavior. • They are less vulnerable to peer pressure because they use their own thoughts and feelings as a guide about what to do. Well-known introverts include Steven Spielberg, J.K. Rowling, Steve Wozniak and the cofounder of Google, Larry Page. If that crowd is not impressive enough, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Sir Isaac Newton and Ghandi were also all considered introverts. Wherever a child lands on the introvert/extrovert spectrum, they need to know his or her personality doesn’t need to be altered to be considered “right.” In our hyper-connected society where the more Facebook friends and LinkedIn connections one has, the better, and being in the spotlight is so often intensely pursued, our quiet kids can remind us turning our attention inward can be pretty worthwhile, too.

COMMUNITY

Cover Story Fishers will pay more this year for 911 services, while questions swirl at state level around funding

By Kevin Kane & Jordan Fischer • editorial@youarecurrent.com

“We’re working with all of the communities right now to come up with a solution that meets all of the residents’ needs for 911 service,” Fadness said. “There’s always questions whenever you look at consolidation in regard to representation and accountability.” County leaders are also wary of Indiana Senate Bill 345, which, among other provisions, would impose a flat 75-cent fee on all wireless, prepaid and land phone users in the state to pay for 911 services. The bill would prevent state or local entities from imposing any other fees to fund 911. “It’s a hot button issue,” Fadness said. “No one can tell us if that fee would be an adequate funding source. The legislation as it’s written now also doesn’t distinguish who would be responsible for that funding source. I don’t think it would benefit us.” Barring any unforeseen events, the spring legislative session was scheduled to end Friday. As of press time, no action had been taken on Senate Bill 345 since March 1. “We’re ultimately looking to see what the state legislature does,” Fadness said. “We’re trying to look at that and figure out what the new normal is going to be moving forward.”

Fishers residents could pay up to $1.5 million more this year for the county’s 911 dispatch services – although that number may drop before the bill comes, according to Town Manager Scott Fadness. The additional fee is part of a series of changes at the state and local level to how emergency dispatches are run, and how they may be funded in the future. Last year, the Indiana General Assembly Fadness changed state statutes to require counties by 2014 have no more than two public service access points: a primary and a backup. In addition to the county’s dispatchers, Carmel has its own center and staff, and Noblesville has a staff that uses the county’s facility. Westfield contracts its emergency dispatch services through Noblesville. A deal negotiated between the county and Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard would have had the city’s dispatch center become the county’s backup, with Carmel paying the county $1.1 million annually to handle its 911 dispatching. The deal would have given some Carmel dispatch center employees the opportunity to be hired by the county, and would have saved Carmel an estimated $1.5 Brainard million annually, according to Brainard. The bulk of that savings would have come from Fishers taking on annual payments to the county, in addition to wireless and landline phone fees already paid by all residents for 911 dispatch services. That deal, however, was turned down by the Carmel City Council in December. County Commissioner Christine Altman said she’s heard no updates on the situation Altman since.

Finding a resolution

A new proposal

The reason for the lack of communication with the county, Brainard said, is he and the leaders of the county’s other municipalities are working together on a joint proposal. Fadness said he and Fishers have taken an active role in that process, saying there’s “great dialogue going on.”

At the moment, Fadness said the town hasn’t formally signed a memorandum of understanding with the county regarding what its share of 911 expenses will be. “For now, we have cash reserves we could use to offset it,” Fadness said. “For the long term, certainly, it’s going to be a significant dollar amount on an annual basis to come up with.” Why Fishers is just now being asked to significantly ramp up its funding stems from two factors, according to Altman: its massive population growth and a cash-strapped Carmel. “Carmel wanted to do its own (dispatch) so it could control all its protocols,” Altman said. “It didn’t become a fiscal issue until probably the last six years, in terms of who was doing what and who was paying for it.” For the moment, all of the municipalities are huddling around the table trying to come up with a game plan. Joe Mangas, Hamilton County 911 communications director, said he’s confident they will. “It all comes down to funding, of course,” Mangas said. “I think they’re all starting to recognize they need to come together to find a solution.” Continuing coverage of this story will be posted online at www.currentinfishers.com.

Editorial ‘Gov’ makes major move on 31 project

Courts correction

It is our position the legislative debate over same-sex marriages will be ultimately handled by the U.S. Supreme Court. As such, we urge our Indiana legislature to focus its finite resources on more productive pursuits. Certainly, many Hoosiers hold strong and sincere moral and religious convictions that such marriages delude traditional families or are simply abjectly wrong. Yet, our reading of Section 4 of our Constitution leads us to believe this may be a matter for the courts. “No preference shall be given, by law, to any creed, religious society or mode of worship …” Moreover, the very first sentence reads: “We declare that all people are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness …” The decision of with whom to spend one’s life is deeply personal, and perhaps among these inalienable rights integral to the American understanding of liberty. Regardless, we know it is inevitable courts will weigh in on this matter. And, we look forward to a spirited discussion. In the meantime, we encourage our legislative body to focus on matters likely to yield higher impact on jobs, public safety and other more actionable work.

A piercing predicament Commentary by Terry Anker

From the earliest days, we’re taught not to judge a book by its cover. Mostly, it is very good advice. We cannot assume following the stereotype leads to good judgment. Yet, as a parent of an ever-maturing family, I find appearances do matter. Can we risk allowing our sons and daughters – clearly our mosttreasured responsibility – to get in a car with another teenager noticeably tattooed and pierced? Likewise, can we send them off to church camp after reading stories of predatory cultish practices, sometimes infecting the once safe harbor? Is it that the question, like all normative valuations, depends wholly on the route used to determine the answer? Or, is it simply a percentage of risk charged against one’s tolerance for a particular eventuality? If given a perfect amount of information and time, most of us would work to arrive at a thoughtful solution. Simply because a teenage girl has elected to have a tattoo on her neck is

not enough to assume she is reckless in all areas of her life. However, absent the time to assess the risk adequately, can we, in good faith, disregard this very public statement? So, does how people look define them? Does the wearing of a soul patch make someone a jazz musician or simply follically-enhanced? Does the abundance wrought by augmentation make the woman sporting the amplitude needy or self-assured? Do the corpulent deserve our ire, our sympathy or neither? Regardless, it does make a difference. As we consider the image we present to the world, shouldn’t we likewise consider the assumptions inure to such a posture? While it may be wrong to judge a book by its cover, it may be a good starting place. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@ currentincarmel.com.

As you may know, Gov. Mitch Daniels said last week the U.S. 31 project in Hamilton County will be completed three years ahead of schedule, or by 2015, with the use of contractor financing. This is brilliant! Daniels, exhibiting why we still believe he’s presidential material, said the cost-saving project will be bid in one bundle and be built less expensively. As a result, INDOT intends to bundle remaining construction phases for U.S. 31 in our county into one contract, taking advantage of low construction and financing costs. INDOT would then repay the contractor over seven to 10 years using state and federal transportation resources. ••• Have you ever noticed how, when faced with expected revenue shortfalls, our elected officials don’t slow spending, but instead, have no problems requiring taxpayers to wait for tax decreases? The latest example: Sen. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, expressing concern over a two-month shortfall in expected state revenue, now questions speeding a proposed 10-year phase-out of the state inheritance tax. Of course, House and Senate budget leaders had no problems agreeing to spend about $80 million more in the coming year on full-day kindergarten. Spending never waits, but taxpayers always do. ••• Now that we’re all preparing for our annual fleecing on April 17, we’re reminded of that legislative giant, Charlie Rangel. Remember him? You may recall ol’ Charlie (D-N.Y.) didn’t want to bother with those pesky taxes relating to rental income from his villa in the Dominican Republic. After the House Ethics Committee censored him in December 2010, he was required to pay those back taxes. We’ve not heard a word about this, and we’re wondering if Charlie paid those.

Hitting the bar … then the sack Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Well folks, I’m officially pathetic. On what was supposed to be an entertaining getaway with my husband to celebrate my little sister’s 30th, I confirmed what I’d already suspected: I hate crowded bars, loud music and late nights. In other words, I’m old. We’d been anticipating this trip to Chicago for a while. Everyone was planning to meet up early at my sister’s favorite Michigan State-designated pub, and then hit various other drinking holes as the night progressed. Since I try not to imbibe past the dinner hour, I was delighted. I could do this! The odds of me keeping pace with the youngins were seriously against me, though, as I slept like poo the night before. Thank God for Doo. He force-fed me coffee, aspirin and a steak sandwich, and reminded me I birthed four babies. So I headed to the first bar hopped on caffeine and maternal self-confidence. Go elderly! But by 4 p.m., only one hour into the festivities, I was already fed up with the high-decibel tunage and masses of yuppies crowding my space. I really just wanted to wrap up in my Snuggie and judge people in “Hoarding: Buried Alive.” Doo, on the other hand, was in his element, yucking it up with everyone he

met and reliving his preparent glory days. But I had come for my sister and was not going to disappoint. So when my AARP-member mom asked if I wanted to leave and have an early dinner at the stodgy Ralph Lauren Grill, I politely lied through my teeth and proclaimed my strong desire to keep the evening rolling. I was having fun, damn it! And sure enough, the next thing I knew, I’d been illegally sardined into a taxi with Doo and five blonde sorority chicks on my way to God knows where. Yay! Between 7 and 8 p.m., I faked a happy face and pretended like this was the most awesome night of my life, while I watched Doo and everyone else slowly but surely descend into blissful, RedBull-and-vodka oblivion. When a 2-foot-long grilled cheese behemoth sent Doo into fits of hysterical laughter, however, I cried, “Uncle!” I hailed a cab, made fast friends with my Pakistani driver and then collapsed into bed alone at 8:30 p.m. In my defense, it was 9:30 p.m. Eastern. Peace out.

Between 7 and 8 p.m., I faked a happy face and pretended like this was the most awesome night of my life, while I watched Doo and everyone else slowly but surely descend into blissful, Red-Bull-and-vodka oblivion.

View with unfounded logic Editor, I just finished reading your editorial in the March 6 issue of Current in Fishers. You attacked taxing the wealthy because it would send more money to a government that incurred $325 million of Medicare fraud in Texas. A reasonable extension of your logic would be a parallel effort to stop placing money in financial institutions because they defrauded the public causing the economic downturn. As a practitioner of management in both the private and public sectors, I have seen no difference in the level of incompetency. After all, 90-plus percent of all businesses fail in the first five years. You are overlooking the constant human effort to find better management tools, flexible and transparent controls, etc. that represent the constant human pursuit of improvement in our organizational endeavors, whether public or private. What you are missing is that, as flawed as they are, both the public and private sectors have their roles to play. We don’t reject the value of the institutions because they need to improve and we can find extraordinary examples of when they have failed. Rather, we fund universities and spawn think tanks to develop means for preventing such problems in the future. Because one government role should be to level the playing field and promote the fundamentals required for overall growth of society from roads to care for those who need a helping hand, it needs to be adequately and fairly funded from fair contributions from all levels of society.

Man of many languages Laughs by Mike Redmond

We’ve all made that New Year’s resolution about learning another language, and most of the time, we do exactly what we do with all our other New Year’s resolutions: Ignore it. Well, hang on to your hats, because I’m actually keeping my resolution. No, not the one to lose weight. I discarded that one the second week of January. I’m learning a new language. Well, not new exactly. People have been speaking it for centuries. The language? Spanish. The reason? You never know when you’re going to find yourself in South America. And in South America, you will likely need a bathroom at some point, and may not see one in your immediate South American vicinity. Therefore, it behooves you to learn the language. Anyway, I am no stranger to language study. As a kid, I took French (three years), Russian (one year), German (one year) and Latin (one year.) It sounds impressive until I actually try to use them. Then it adds up to six years pretty much wasted. Oh, I can summon up a greeting (Bon jour, Guten Tag) or a phrase (Ad astra per aspera – to the stars through difficulty), but that’s about it. I think the problem was that language study in

my kidhood was long on grammar and short on conversational skills. At my peak, I could conjugate Latin verbs until the cows redire domum, but I would have been lost trying to order a sandwich. Not anymore. Now I am having an absolute blast, chugging along on practical Spanish lessons. How practical, you ask? Why, just the other day, I learned to say Los calcetines huelen mal. It means “the socks smell bad.” Now, my practical friends like to point out if I ever really needed Spanish, I could always buy one of those pocket translators, or use Google Translate. Fooey. What’s the fun in that? That is the same sort of thinking that led us all to start relying on pocket calculators until we can hardly do long division anymore. Besides, for a person in middle age, learning a language pays offers a bonus. Studies show it’s good to take on new tasks and challenges because learning keeps your brain young. You can’t say that about looking for the restrooms and exits. Or rather, los baños y las puertas. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker.

Laughs by Dick Wolfsie

My wife heard a news segment on TV about doctors’ concerns that certain cholesterollowering drugs might be responsible for causing memory loss. This medical report was just another bleak reminder that sooner or later, everything we once thought was good for us is found to have negative side effects. First, coffee was good for me, then it was bad for me. It was enough to keep me up at night. How about wine? Good for your heart, but bad for your liver. It’s driven me to beer. Obsessed with finding one thing I could safely ingest, I decided to be a total yahoo and search the Web by searching if peas are bad for you. Here’s the first site that that came up: “According to researchers, peas are responsible for suffering and possible deaths. The gas produced by the stomach … poisons your system by steadily reacting with the natural acidity of the body, resulting in bloating. Digestive problems get steadily worse and this is linked with bowel cancer.” I wish I had known all this when I was 5 years old. I used to tell my mother the peas were “yucky.” Not nearly as persuasive an argument. I searched other traditionally healthful choices: broccoli, bananas, artichokes, tap water, lemons – all potential death traps, I discovered. www.currentinfishers.com

Strawberries? Weapons of mass destruction. There had to be something safe to put in my system. Of course: saliva. What could be safer than my own saliva. Or so I thought: “It is toxic to the brain and can have a hallucinogenic effect,” I printed the article and raced up from the basement to show Mary Ellen. “Why are you showing me this, Dick?” “Saliva! It’s dangerous. Read the article. You’re in charge of my health. Why did you never mention this?” “Dick, that’s not an article about saliva, you must have typed in salvia, which is a psychotropic drug. Didn’t you think it was a little odd it said saliva was unsafe?” “Well, I did find it a little hard to swallow.” I just went back online and searched for more information about statins, the class of drugs I have been taking for the past few years. Imagine my surprise to discover statin is used in lingerie and there are even fancy statin sheets. Wait, that doesn’t sound right. Maybe Mary Ellen can explain it to me.

Wellness Mindrebo joins Kids drinking too much juice Riverview Medical Group HEALTH

Many young children – particularly those in low-income households –drink too much juice, according to a new survey. More than one-third of parents surveyed, and about half of parents with a yearly household income of less than $30,000, reported their 1- to 5-year-olds drink two or more cups of juice on a typical day. That's twice the amount recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which advices kids younger than age 6 to drink just one serving of juice per day. Too much juice puts kids at risk for health conditions, such as childhood obesity and early tooth decay.

Insurance

Worst-case scenarios

Insurance Q&A by Andy Warren

Question from Kirsten W. of Westfield: The commercials I’ve seen asking people if they know if they’re covered for a certain situation has got me thinking. How do I prepare for the worst? Response from Andy Warren: Those commercials have got a lot of people thinking. Insurance prices have stopped dropping and it’s a great time to lock in a solid rate with the best coverage available. Adding an umbrella policy (also known as a catastrophe policy) is easily the best way to get on track with that goal. An umbrella policy is all about having the peace of mind in knowing your family and assets are protected. The most common umbrella claim is an auto accident involving multiple injuries and very costly medical bills. The other common claim is an incident on your property that results in injury. Medical and legal costs can eat up the underlying limits of your homeowner, auto, boat or motorcycle policy pretty quickly. Your umbrella policy or your personal assets cover these costs when your normal policy limits are exhausted. Your independent insurance agent will be able to help you settle on a level of coverage you are comfortable with. Most people should be pretty

comfortable with an umbrella limit of $1 million, but limits more than $10 million are available if you are looking for superior protection. I don’t want to say umbrella claims are unpreventable, but they are the type of claims that happen no matter how prepared you are. Some things make a claim more likely, such as having a pool, living on a lake, having a young driver and owning a boat, snowmobile and basically anything fun. Instead of talking about prevention this week, I want to go over a claim scenario to illustrate how an umbrella policy will work. Claim scenario: The insured’s son was driving his car on a short road trip with a friend, the claimant. The car drifted off the road and into a phone pole when the son fell asleep at the wheel. The passenger was hospitalized for more than a month with broken bones and internal injuries. The hospitalization was followed by some time in a wheelchair, but he was able to walk again after six months of physical therapy. This claim cost $1,200,000 with $300,000 coming from the auto limits and $900,000 coming from the umbrella limits.

Calculate retirement online – Want to know how much income you'll need to meet your basic living needs? You can find out with the Elder Index, a new tool from Wider Opportunities for Women that reveals the typical costs people age 65 and older have for housing, food, transportation, health care and miscellaneous expenses for every county and state in the U.S. WOW's Elder Index is a conservative estimate of needs and doesn't include any extras such as vacations, electronics, gifts or meals out.-www.bnet.com Bad news about newspapers – "Cultural inertia" is responsible in part for the fact so few newspapers are succeeding online, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. Seemingly small things, like linking to the sites that are the subjects of articles, are but one manifestation of this inertia. The overall problem is too many newspapers are still treating the Internet like an afterthought. Cultural inertia, though, is just one problem. Economics lie at the heart of the continued shrinking of newspapers and other "old media" – revenues from online ads just aren't making up for the loss of print-based ad revenues. The study says newspapers on average make up just $1 online for every $7 they lose on the print side as advertisers’ bolt and rates decline. -www.fortune.com Current in Fishers

MEET SUYA MOWERS, ONE OF MORE THAN 140 CHARACTERS

Spring into new season Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Spring officially starts next Tuesday. I like that. It means spring break is just around the corner and longer days are becoming familiar. It means everything flowering will start percolating and cheery forsythia will start screaming amazing colors soon. My five ornamental dogwoods are swelling with anticipation of another glorious showing of pinks and whites. And tulips, daffodils and crocus are pushing through the earth, softening even the crustiest of attitudes. Spring means fresh-skinned joggers and spandex bikers become the road warriors they hunger to be, and new mommies and daddies can introduce their babies to fresh air and warm sunshine. Dogs are overjoyed they can “do their business” in a relaxed fashion and walkers are everywhere. So are the smiles. Spring also brings with it a few necessaries to get your landscape beds in shape for the year. Here’s an immediate concern list: • How’s your mower, Weed Eater and blower? In need of a tune-up or cleaning? • Ornamental grasses and perennials need cut to the ground NOW. Cut back too late and you risk damaging hidden new growth. • Resist the urge to prune spring and summer

flowering shrubs. You will likely prune off the reason you love them … their flowers. Wait a few weeks after blooming and then prune. • Hard prune some woodies that are too … woody. • Pre-emergent weed control needs applied now through mid-May for confident results. Miss this window and anticipate extra weeding. • I’m a spring mulch guy and want the beds to look rich through the entire season. My preference is the color-enhanced black or dark brown, premium shredded hardwood mulch. Confirm it is void of pallets and other nasty fillers. Check out www.youtube. com/randysorrell for explanation. • Walk your house perimeter and inspect gutters and downspouts to confirm they are clear and exiting far enough away from the house. Look for loose roof shingles while you are at it, and any siding damage from curious critters seeking shelter in your attic. Enough talk about chores. Are you ready to enjoy this spring like never before? Me too! Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm.

Plant seeds in eggshells for transplants? – It's an old-time trick. In the days before your local nursery provided nice peat pots, an eggshell worked nicely. Here's advice from 1880: "Take eggshells cut in half, make two or three small holes in the bottom of each, fill with sifted soil, sink in a box of sand, sow seeds and cover with glass, of course keeping them in the right light. Water only the sand, for they will absorb enough through the holes. In transplanting, break off the shells, leaving the lump of earth intact without the roots being jarred or disturbed." Try this with some cabbage seeds now and you may have good starts for transplanting as soon as you can work the earth. - www.almanac.com www.currentinfishers.com

Hardwood trend – We all love the look of hardwood flooring, but most contractors say it has no place in a moist bathroom. The next best thing may be faux hardwood porcelain tile. "The tile industry has gotten really creative at manufacturing tiles out of one material to look like another material," says Christine Jurs, owner of the Advance Design Studio in Gilberts, Ill. "A perfect example is porcelain tile made to look like real hardwood. It looks fabulous." Available in 2-, 3- and 4-inch planks, the tile is much easier to care for than real wood. And porcelain's natural resistance to moisture makes it an appropriate material for kitchen and bath applications. - www.hgtv.com

and much more brittle than quartz. Granite’s random shading and patterns are part of its beauty, while quartz is engineered in both solid colors and selected patterns. Functionally, granite absorbs moisture, stains and needs to be resealed periodically. Because of the man-made process, quartz does not stain and requires almost no maintenance. Either material requires professional installation. Design, always, is in the eye of the beholder. One person may love the predictability of quartz; another may be taken by the natural patterns and striations of granite. Hopefully these two people aren’t married. Either surface provides a beautiful and functional countertop, but don’t take the final decision for granted. Check with the pros, and choose wisely.

Granted, “granite countertops” are the magic words when it comes to a value-enhancing description of a modern-day kitchen. But when considering the installation of stone countertops in a kitchen improvement project, it’s worth discussing the stone material decisionmaking process with “counter intelligence” – a countertop professional. Granite isn’t the only game in town. Quartz routinely ranks a very close second to – and in some cases exceeds – granite in overall satisfaction ratings. This is not to say granite is better than quartz or vice versa. This is to say countertops are a multifaceted decision involving a major expense, and it’s wise to consider price, differences, function and design before committing to either. Price, surprisingly, is often the smallest difference in this equation. Pricing for good slab granite and almost any kind of quartz is comparable, but there are also high-end and low-end granites that make exact comparisons impossible. It’s best to consult a reputable professional, see samples, understand what level (quality) of stone you need and get pricing based on the specifics of the individual job. Granite is a “God-made” material, while quartz is a man-formed surface of crushed quartz and resins. Granite is softer, more porous

Makeover tips for child’s bedroom Design by Sue Faulstich Growing up with five siblings and being second to youngest meant having to wait what felt like an eternity to have my own room. As I write this, memories come flooding back of how exciting it was to finally be able to pick my own paint color and bedspread. The adventure of being involved in grown-up decisions will stick with them and may one day be an incentive to spark his or her in-home projects.

Plan

We have all heard the famous quote, “It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.” Whether a simple reorganization or a full-blown remodel, a child’s bedroom makeover needs to be proposed well before any work begins. The preparation phase should include the process of negotiating needs versus wants. If the design team works together to organize a battle plan, chances are good the space will please both proprietor and dweller.

Lofty visions

The top half of a kid’s bedroom is an opportunity for many lofty ideas – literally. Often forgotten about, this space could be turned into anything from a simple display area with a high shelf running the entire perimeter of the room, to a custom built hideaway, accessible only by

ladder. Always remember to consider the height of the resident; by making storage spaces not easily reachable by a youngster, you may be creating more work for yourself.

Not just for walls

Paint is an important design element in most makeovers. It can be used to alter everything from furniture to picture frames. In the planning phase, remember to consider ceilings, baseboards and almost every surface in between as a blank canvas for a brush or roller. A painted surface can be anything from an elaborate mural to a useable chalkboard.

Toys, clothes and bears … oh my!

Ever wonder how such a small person can accumulate so much stuff? I love “stuff” just as much as the next girl, but organization can mean something completely different to an adult than it does a child. With the click of your mouse, it is simple to find tips to help kids organize everything from toys to trophies. Be creative in your endeavor to tame clutter, but also be aware of the needs of your particular youngster.

Travel It’s not always about where you go LIFESTYLE

Commentary by Tracy Line

I couldn’t have been happier to get on the plane. Visions of sunny blue skies, sand, surf and fruity cocktails took over my mind. It seemed almost too good to be true. And it was. That’s right, in the middle of perhaps the mildest winter I’ve ever experienced, Fort Lauderdale was having a cold, rainy spell. The sun lingered behind the clouds, the rain threatened (but did retreat) and the wind whipped those Palm trees into a complete frenzy. You know what? It was a great vacation. Sometimes it’s not about where you go, but rather, whom you’re with. This was my second foray into a girlfriend getaway, and it proved to be as fun as the first. I wasn’t sure it would happen. You see, there are 10 of us, 10 women with 24 children trying to leave for a weekend? You know how hard that must be. Luck wasn’t on our side. Husbands travel for work, pregnancies sideline us and life just gets in the way. So, for many, this year’s trip was off the radar. But four of us were determined; we forged ahead and made it happen. I’m so glad we did. While the weather didn’t cooperate, it couldn’t stop us from having a good time. We walked, shopped, and talked. We shared stories

of family, life, and our hopes for the future. Right there on a cold beach in Florida, my girlfriends and I revealed our most intimate thoughts. Conversations we’d never delve into at home, while children run between us, and life and responsibility beckon, happen naturally at the beach.

Foiled by fare codes - The roundtrip airfare Kevin McDonald found on Delta Air Lines' Web site came to $386 – not bad. But when he checked Expedia.com, he found the same tickets for $62 less. Delta offers a Best Fare Guarantee that promises if you find a lower price on another site for the exact same Delta itinerary after purchasing your ticket on www.delta.com, "then we'd like to make it right." But Delta didn't make it right. Here's the short rejection it sent him: “Our records indicate your reservation is booked in ‘U’ class of service for the departure and ‘L’ class of service for the return. At the time of our research at www.expedia.com, we were able to locate a lower fare of $326.60 per passenger. However, the class of service was ‘T’; for the return flight. Therefore, we respectfully decline your request.” It turns out that by "exact" same itinerary, Delta means everything – including the fare codes – must match. -www.frommers.com
