Around town The commute: road construction updates

COMMUNITY Project Roundabout at 131st Street and Lantern Road

126th Street

Bridge on Cumberland Road

Status As of press time, the road was closed. Hill said the roundabout will open within days, provided that rain continues to avoid Fishers. The only parts of the road still incomplete include signing and striping on the pavement. Hill said improvements, such as landscaping, will continue. As invoices come in, Hill will know for sure if the project stays under budget. The construction continues to move forward. The north half by Cumberland Road is slated to open this week, depending on the weather. The intersection itself is nearing completion. However, the portions of new pavement east and west of the intersection still need work done in the next couple of months, according to Hill. According to Hill, the county has completed the bridge south of 106th Street and the road is now open. He said, thanks to the weather, the county was able to finish the project about a week and a half ahead of schedule.

96th and Allisonville Road

Hill said the project will be entering its next traffic phase as construction continues through August. He said the project is proceeding even though there were issues with utilities in the area.

141st and Ind. 37

Improvements for the turn lanes at the intersection on east and west-bound 141st Street are getting ready to wrap up with some on-going cleanup.

135th Place and Britton Park Drive Roundabout

Construction signs for the project went up last week. Construction along Ind. 37 starts soon.

Roundabout at Brooks School Road and Fall Creek

Hill said the town still wants to follow through on the project this fall, but because of utility and land acquisition issues, the project has been slowed. He said the town is coordinating with Hamilton Southeastern Schools in regards to finalizing bus routes.

Hawk System at Olio Road

The county is installing a “Hawk Beacon” on Olio Road at Hamilton Southeastern High School. The signal is activated by pedestrians, which triggers a series of lights warning drivers of pedestrians preparing to cross the street from the freshmen center to the main building. At the same time, a signal shows pedestrians when they can cross the street. INDOT announces exit renumbering, logistics – INDOT, in cooperation with the Asher Agency, held an informational meeting Thursday to explain the renumbering for exits on I-69 this fall. Simply put, 200 miles are being added to the interstate, and to update the exit signs that are based on mileage, 200 will be added to the current exit number. Both the new and old exit numbers will be displayed on signage temporarily.

Snapshot – The new amphitheater behind Town Hall is taking shape. A major part of the town’s Nickel Plate District, the amphitheater is an $822,500 project. The Town of Fishers staff hopes to have a full schedule of events by next spring at the amphitheater.

McFarland plans to sell his one-of-a-kind fishing lures crafted from disarmed ammunition. Catch him at his booth. Warrants for arrest issued in gas station robbery case – In early July, Fishers Police Detective Kevin Kobi obtained arrest warrants for two suspects connected to a robbery at the Shell Gas Station at 9611 Allisonville Road on March 20 of this year. The incident, according to reports from a Shell employee, involved two black males entering the store, going behind the counter and grabbing multiple cartons of cigarettes. When the employee protested, they “moved aggressively towards her,” according to a press release. One suspect, Irwin Dean was charged and is currently incarcerated at Marion County Jail. Dean was charged with an additional robbery that occurred on the same day. The second suspect, Samuel Hardley, Jr., 49, is still at large. Citizens that may have information on Hardley, Jr., are encouraged to contact local authorities. Hamilton County law enforcement nabs five drivers at sobriety checkpoint – The Hamilton County Traffic Safety Partnership, a “consortium” of local law enforcement agencies that includes FPD, arrested five drivers at a sobriety checkpoint the night of July 21 at 4146 E. 96th Street in Carmel. Two drivers were arrested for being over the legal limit of alcohol concentration (.08), at .12 and .16. A third driver was arrested for impairment “believed to have been caused by cannabis,” according to a press release. Two other drivers were arrested based on issues surrounding their driver licenses, or lack-thereof. The HCTSP will continue to employ these checkpoints. The State of Indiana racked up 1,310 charges of operating while intoxicated in Hamilton County during 2010.

Education

Hamilton Southeastern Schools see gains and losses in ISTEP+ scores By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton Southeastern schools saw small gains and losses in ISTEP+ scores between 2011 and 2012, according to recently released statistics by the Indiana Department of Education. The majority of schools in Hamilton County stayed above the 80 percent passing mark for both the English/language arts component and math component. This year, Hamilton Southeastern Schools, as a corporation, did not drop below 85 percent of students passing either of the components. However, Hamilton Southeastern Jr. High School saw a 1.93 percent drop in the English/ language arts portion, as well as 3.21 percent drop in math between 2011 and 2012. Beth Niedermeyer, asst. superintendent of Hamilton Southeastern Schools, said small changes, whether negative or positive, are viewed as fluctuations. She said the school corporation takes the scores very seriously and uses the data to identify areas that need strengthening in the education process. One strategy HSE schools use that isn’t publicized often, according to Niedermeyer, is the comparison of data amongst cohort years, as opposed to comparing the data from one year to another. This type of comparison allows for greater tracking of trends. Pam Chemelewski, a parent of a child attending Hamilton Southeastern Jr. High, said that slight fluctuations in test scores do not concern her as a parent. The education system in Hamilton County is one of the main reasons Chemelewski’s family relocated to Fishers a decade ago. “It [high pass percentages] just reaffirms why we picked Hamilton Southeastern Jr. High to begin with,” she said. Niedermeyer said finding the right balance between celebrating successes like the high percentage of students passing ISTEP+ and focusing on improving the system. As the new school year approaches, HSE Schools plan to refine that system by having teachers assess the data and then work with students, who set their own goals, and parents to ensure individual success.

Back to school: Parent edition Commentary by Freedom Kolb

Take one step into any of the big box stores, and you know the time has come: Back to School. By now, you have probably consulted your child’s school checklist. But one item might have escaped you: the parent checklist. I’m not referencing all of you who prepare your child for school success by instilling bedtime, reading together, and fueling up the minions with a nutritious breakfast. I speak of true parental involvement, which has long been touted as a key predictor for both student and school success. Whether you have mere moments or loads of time, you can make an impact. No Time: We are all busy people – it happens. Maybe you’re starting a new job, welcoming a new baby, or facing another life circumstance indicating that now simply isn’t the right time. If resources allow, make a donation. Your teacher likely has a classroom wish list, as will your school or PTO. The Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation supports students and teachers alike through grants and scholarships. Or, visit www.donorchoose.org, a website completely dedicated to matching donors with teacher and school needs. You can sort by school, district, city, state, need, or project. Invest in what matters to you. Your gifts may even be tax deductible. 1 minute: Make a resolution to read Skyward newsletters and alerts. While you’re at it,

commit to checking Angel a bit more often and reading classroom newsletters as well. 5 minutes: Take it up a notch and search out your school on Facebook. And the PTO. And the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation. And the band, drama club, football team or any other activity in which your child might be involved. ‘Like’ them. It is the simplest way to receive current, relevant information. 10 minutes: Explore the district home page: www.hse.k12.in.us. Investigate enrollment numbers, test scores, and hot topics. Acquiring information is a critical step in becoming involved, and the website is a goldmine. When and why does HSE need another school, referendum, or enrichment program? Stay in the know. Who knows – one day you might feel compelled to write a legislator or two. 30 minutes: Load your school’s calendar into your personal schedule. You’ll minimize future appointment conflicts if you have back-toschool night, parent teacher conferences, and school holidays handy.

Fishers prepares to host international competition with the Firefighter Combat Challenge By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

have to use to clear a door to enter a burning building. “I’m looking forward just to having fun,” Bobo said.

The competition that tests firefighters’ mettle around the world comes to the Roy G. Holland Memorial Park this weekend. It’s the Firefighter Combat Challenge – an athletic competition that assesses firefighters’ skills in five areas they may face in the field and when lives are on the line. “It’s called the toughest two minutes in sports,” Steve Orusa, Fishers fire and emergency services chief, said. “I’m excited for the world-class athletes to visit Fishers,” he said, “and see what Fishers is all about.”

Oxygen tanks and ice baths

The Competition

Competitors from around the globe regularly compete in the challenge, which mimics performance tests for firefighters in their respective communities. Firefighters have participated in this athletic arena since 1991, eventually gaining the attention of ESPN and Versus. At each Firefighter Combat Challenge across the United States, five main events comprise the competitions which ultimately pave the way to the Worlds competition. Those events include a high-rise pack carry, hose hoist, forcible entry, hose advance and victim rescue. Orusa said many firefighters train for the events like it’s a part-time job. In each competition, the firefighters push themselves to physical failure – which makes training an intense component of a typical firefighter’s daily routine. Fishers firefighter Dave Bobo has been training for the Challenge on and off for the past four or five months. Bobo competed in the competition once before and is a 16-and-a-half year veteran at FFD. This time around he is one of the five teammates on FFD’s relay team. Each teammate has a section of the relay to complete, and Bobo is tasked with crushing the Keiser Force Machine. He’ll have to drive a steel beam five feet with a nine pound shot mallet, simulating a chopping motion a firefighter might

Bobo looks forward to the camaraderie between all the firefighters that will gather at Holland Park, but this athletic competition is as serious as they get. “This is as serious as a heart attack,” Orusa said. Every firefighter is decked out in full gear – including oxygen tanks and masks. Orusa said that means as the firefighter-athletes push themselves for those two or three minutes of competition, there’s absolutely no cooling or taking a break. Sweat can’t even cool the combatants – much like the conditions they’re under during real fires. “What I think that’s really neat to is just showcasing to everybody what it’s really like,” Bobo said. “This combat challenge was designed because this is the job that we do.” In the movies, people expect to see athletes like Rudy Reuttiger or Rocky sit down in an ice-bath after a tough practice or sparring match, but ice baths and IV lines are at the ready for these athletes right after a single event. “Not only is it about physical exertion, it’s about technique and timing,” he said, “just as any world-class sporting event.” Orusa said those factors and luck are the differences between winning and losing, as the best firefighters are separated by fractions of a second.

Ready for the heat

Various people and organizations around Fishers have helped prepare for the Firefighter Combat Challenge. Paramedics and FPD will be on hand – just in case a competitor, or spectator, can’t take the heat. Orusa said the festival wouldn’t have been possible without the help of sponsors, the Town of Fishers staff and Jennifer Kehl, executive director of the Fishers Freedom Festival, who stepped in to organize the event. He said firefighters from neighboring Noblesville and Westfield plan to compete, as well as Hoosier firefighters from the northern part of the state, so bragging rights are on the line. Bobo said of the Challenge, “It’s just camaraderie and getting to know them [other firefighters] and making new friends, really – that’s the bottom line.”

Opinion A real downtown for town’s center?

Handicapable It is our position that those of us who are not handicapped need to be more considerate and stop using the handicap parking spaces. While it may seem more convenient to be able to park right next to the building as opposed to walking an extra twenty yards, the inconvenience is far greater if someone who needs the spot shows up and it is being used. We urge those who have the tendency to park in these spots to stop, even if you are only going to be away from your car for a few minutes. Not only is it immoral, but it is also illegal. According to www.dmv.org, parking in a reserved spot without having the necessary plate or placard could get you a fine of at least $50.00. Under Indiana Law parking in a reserved spot without the proper credentials is a Class C misdemeanor. Next time you or someone you’re in the car with has the urge to park in a handicap spot, please be respectful of those who need the spots and find another space. It may be a slight hassle to you but it will be nothing compared to what someone who needs the spot will go through.

Real real

Commentary by Terry Anker

Donald Trump moved the phrase “You’re fired!” from the personnel office to reality television. But in The Donald’s world folks go from the board room, to an elevator, to a waiting cab to be whisked away not to be seen again until some reality reunion gives them another moment of airtime. In real real life when people get the boot, there is no afterglow of residual fame to soften the blow, no career waiting at home to be resumed and no parting gifts. People suffer. After the walk of shame back to their desk, they gather their belongings – with or without the helpful oversight of a member of corporate security. Next they leave their access cards, sign some paperwork and head to their car for the last time. No one celebrates their retirement. No one takes them for a farewell lunch at their favorite haunt. The newly unemployed drive from the lot and head home to share the news with waiting family.

Sometimes it happens with cause – the task and the laborer didn’t match. Sometimes it happens with circumstance – the role has changed and now three people can do the work of ten. And, sometimes it happens for what seems to be no real reason at all. Whatever might be the genesis, it rarely seems bearable at the time. I’ve been on both sides of this transaction and didn’t like it from either vantage point. But if we had to choose, wouldn’t more of us prefer to suffer the pain while drawing a paycheck? If we are fired, it is rough. Nothing makes it better. Well maybe, time, the support of family and a good plan can ease the pain. And if we have to be the bad guy, respect and sincerity are required – bad doesn’t have to be awful. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Current in Fishers

A request for proposal has gone out to develop the land in front of Town Hall, and it is our opinion this represents a major step in defining what Fishers is in terms of bringing about a more cohesive city center and “downtown experience.” Our managing editor, Dan Domsic, tells us, “It will be controversial. After chatting with some sources for a different story today, I can tell it’s not going to be met with applause by everyone.” This bears watching. We love this town, but we don’t get a true sense of “town” along 116th Street. Town Manager Scott Fadness has said that new infrastructure for development will be paid for in part by the new property taxes generated from the buildings. Those funds will come from a tax incrementfinancing district already in place, according to Maura Leon-Barber, the town’s public information executive. It all points to this: Things are about to get extremely interesting. ••• It’s impressive what volunteers do in our communities, it really is. We state that, because we’ve “lived” in their shoes. And the recent Hamilton County 4-H Fair is yet another example of the community coming together for the good of all. More than 200 adults volunteered their time to ensure projects were judged, shows came off without so much as a wrinkle, animals and kids were safe and secure and to make sure the fair itself was a continuance of the wonderful summertime tradition it is for our county. Well done! ••• Correction: In this space last week, we ran an inaccurate comment about oil imports, which actually have decreased since 2008. We apologize for the error.

Big town, big news Commentary by Dan Domsic

I have to confess. For as far back as I can remember during my early training days in journalism, I always wanted to be an entertainment writer. If I did that, I’d get to go to the movies, eat at fancy restaurants and schmooze with the people that make Hollywood work – and then write about it all. Who knows – maybe even be famous like veteran film critic Roger Ebert. Now that I write for Current and cover events like Fishers Town Council meetings, and issues like local crime, I can say that I enjoy writing about “hard news.” With this newfound zest for writing about this stuff, can you imagine how excited I was during July’s Chamber of Commerce luncheon when Tom Dickey, Fishers Community Development Director, announced the town’s hope to redevelop the land in front of Fishers Town Hall? I was ecstatic to hear the news. And maybe even for selfish reasons, considering the fact that I am not a Fishers resident. I don’t have a stake in how the land in town is developed. But it is my job to report on how the project proceeds from here, which will, no doubt, give me plenty of diverse stories to write. I’ve been told that there will be a lot of exciting an-

nouncements coming from the Town of Fishers staff in the next two months. However, this is not just the staff’s story to tell. It’s yours. Businesses in the “downtown” area should expect to hear from me in the near future. What do new buildings mean for you and your business? Do you think these new attractions will be good for the area? I have a long list of questions I want Fishers residents and business people to answer. I’m looking forward to finding out those answers. For a breakdown of the story so far on the new developments, see the community redevelopment story in last week’s issue, or online at currentinfishers.com. As always, come chat with me during my “office hours” at the Starbucks on 116th Street off of I-69 from 3 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Dan Domsic is the managing editor of Current in Fishers.

Fifty Shades of Gray Commentary by Danielle Wilson Well now! I just finished the controversial Fifty Shades of Gray by E.L. James, and I have to say, I can definitely understand what all the fuss is about. Spoiler alert: I may reveal more than you’d like to know, so now’s the time to skip over to another article if you plan to read it. And if you have a predetermined aversion to erotic literature and/or already think I’m going to hell in a Prada handbag, you should also turn the page. On to the good stuff! Okay, first let me say that Fifty Shades is not going to win any major literary awards. The writing is subpar, almost immature, with too many repeated catch phrases and words for my liking. Ms. James is not even on the same planet as my beloved Nora Roberts. I also didn’t like the main characters. Anastasia never did or said anything worthy of a strong protagonist, and was too insecure to make me care about her. And the only redeeming quality in Christian was his Calvin-Klein-underwearmodel body. He was simply a selfish punk most of the time. That being said, I do think Ms. James came up with an intriguing story of two people so different they couldn’t possibly NOT fall in love. But let’s be honest, I didn’t buy the book for its purported literary prowess. When I finally got to the first sex scene (a too-long one hundred pages in), I was very thankful I hadn’t fol-

lowed my instincts and chucked it out the window. Oh. My. Lord. Is it hot in here? This ain’t for the faint of heart, and it certainly doesn’t contain your typical, flowery romance-novel scenarios. James holds no detail back and offers what I can only assume is a very accurate depiction of the S&M world of dominants and submissives, “chips, dips, chains and whips.” (Sorry, but Weird Science is the only exposure I’d had to this lifestyle prior to Fifty Shades!) Sure, I felt wrong reading it in the company of my kids, but surprisingly empowered too: “Mommy’s reading her porn; make your own macn-cheese!” When I wasn’t suffering a hot flash or yearning for Doo, I wondered if I could ever be brave enough to try some of it myself. I don’t have an answer yet, but I’m happy to know that there are more flavors than vanilla (wink, wink.) In retrospect, I’m glad I read the book, as it seems most of you are who have emailed. Fifty Shades may not change your life, but it should provide some fascinating ideas to help jumpstart your libido. If nothing else, it’s a harmless, easy read with an endless amount of hilarious conversation fodder. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Three Ds Pub and Café combines coffee and breakfast with live music and evening drinks By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com After 18 years, Mickey’s Irish Pub closed its doors earlier this month. Less than two weeks later, the same location reopened under the ownership of Erin Heller as Three Ds’ Pub and Café. Retaining much of the nightclub and bar atmosphere of the former business, Three Ds’ adds family dining, breakfast service, a full coffee bar and a smoke-free environment to the restaurant’s all-inclusive equation. Heller, an Ohio native with family in Southern Indiana, is taking her life in a different direction with the opening of Three Ds’, her first business. “I worked at the county auditor, as a jailor in Ohio and even a supervisor at Kmart,” said Heller. “I’ve had a bunch of different jobs over the years, and I decided it was finally time for me to do something that was really for me, what I wanted to do.” Heller has always made fundraising and volunteering a part of her life. Heller was part

of Soroptimist, a worldwide organization for woman, while living in Seattle prior to her move to Carmel. With Three Ds’, Heller is working with local advocacy group Prevail, Inc. “I want to be sure that people know that 10 percent of our coffee sales go to Prevail for domestic violence victims,” said Heller. Local bands will be performing live every Friday and Saturday in Three Ds’ sizeable back room. Throughout the week, the stage will also feature open mics, karaoke and even something Heller refers to as “open practice.” “If a local band wants to start to get their name out, they can practice on our stage on Monday nights, get some exposure and see how they would do with patrons in the area,” said Heller. “All they need to do is call and schedule a time with us.” Heller is planning on booking a variety of music on Three Ds’ stage beyond the normal rock outfits commonly seen performing across the Northside. “I’m hoping to get a big variety of music

onstage here, including some country,” said Heller. “I’m really into rockabilly and bluegrass. I grew up on the punk scene so I’d like to get some of that in here as well.” With the restaurant and both bars now open and operational, the work is far from done but Heller is pleased to be busy. ““I thrive on stress,” said Heller. “The more things I have going on at one time, the more I tend to get done.”

Three Ds’ Pub and Café is located at 13644 N Meridian St., Carmel (formerly Mickey’s Irish Pub). Hours are 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Saturdays and 8 a.m. to midnight on Sundays. The restaurant features family friendly dining until 9 p.m. every night and is always nonsmoking. For more information, visit threedspubandcafe.com.

Review

Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution by Michelle Moran Commentary by Nancy Wiseman Readers’ Advisory Librarian, Carmel Clay Public Library Marie Grosholtz is a wax sculptor working in her family’s salon in Paris. After a visit to the salon from King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, Marie is asked to teach the art of wax modeling to Madame Elizabeth, the sister of the King. Travelling weekly between workingclass Paris and the royal palaces at Versailles, Marie is privy to some of the secrets of the royal family and cleverly learns to play both sides. The Grosholtz home is regularly visited by men who will be instrumental in beginning the French Revolution such as the Duc d’Orleans and Maximilien Robespierre. As the citizens in Paris rebel and frustration with the royal family and the French government leads to anarchy, Marie is imprisoned and asked to make death masks of guillotine victims – an offer she can’t refuse. While imprisoned she meets her future husband Francoise Tussaud. Told in Marie’s voice, this even-paced, plotdriven novel will take the reader from the days preceding the French Revolution through the Reign of Terror. Marie’s sympathy toward the royal family makes for an interesting point of view. Many famous historical figures such as

Jean-Paul Marat and the Marquis de Sade appear in the novel, and endnotes let the reader know what happened to the novel’s major characters after the Revolution. This novel received Library Journal’s Award for Best Historical Fiction 2011. Other titles by Michelle Moran include Nefertiti, The Heretic Queen, and Cleopatra’s Daughter. Read-alikes for Madame Tussaud are: The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette by Carolly Erickson and The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B by Sandra Gulland.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: Going to Court In family law cases, there are times when a settlement between the parties is not possible. Therefore, the parties must proceed to Court. In such circumstances, often the “fear of the unknown” is a major concern for clients. Most people do not have experience with court proceedings. In the event your case proceeds to a hearing, knowing what to expect (to the extent that is possible) in Court can help to ease your concerns. Request the Hearing. With limited exceptions, a hearing will be scheduled upon the request of either party. The request for a hearing typically includes an estimate of the amount of time it is anticipated will be needed to present the evidence. If it appears settlement will be unlikely, it is advisable to request a hearing as soon as possible to ensure your hearing is scheduled promptly. Be Prepared. Preparation is the key to going to trial. While in Court, there is a limited time within which to present your evidence to the judge. Therefore, being prepared will ensure that you are able to present as much testimony and evidence as possible. It is important to meet with your attorney prior to any hearing to prepare your testimony and discuss what to expect at the hearing. What to Wear? It is not necessary to dress in a suit when appearing in Court. Clean, conservative businesscasual dress is recommended. Can My Child Testify? As a general matter, Court’s prefer to determine the issues of a case without the child’s

testimony. In the event a party would like the child to be interviewed by the judge only – rather than appear in front of all parties in the Courtroom – a party may request that the judge speak to the child in his office. There are many variables to consider in making such a request and you should consult with your attorney before making a decision. The Day of the Hearing. When you arrive in the courtroom, you should ensure you are on time. It is likely that the parties to the case, their attorneys, the judge, and court staff will be the only individuals present in the Courtroom. When the judge enters, he/she will begin the proceeding and the Petitioner (the party requesting the hearing) will begin to present his/her case. At the close of the Petitioner’s case, the opposing party will present his/her evidence. When all evidence has been presented, the judge will consider the evidence and issue a ruling. This may be done in court immediately after the hearing, or at a later date if the judge takes the matter under advisement. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

IT'S GOLDEN Business turns medical ID bracelets into fashion statements By Matthew Williams • editorial@youarecurrent.com Sen. Dick Lugar casts 13,000th Senate vote – Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar (R) cast his 13,000th vote in the U.S. Senate Wednesday. Lugar is the longest serving U.S. Senator in Indiana history, and in 10th place on the all-time Senate voting list. Other members of that list include Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) who cast 15,236 votes, and Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-WV), who tops the list with 18,689. Lugar will retire from the Senate in January following his defeat in May’s primary election by Richard Mourdock. Local senior community holds caregiver relief contest – Clare Bridge of Carmel is holding an essay contest for caregivers as part of their Caregivers Relief Program. The winner will receive a two-week respite stay at the community for their family member or loved one. To nominate the caregiver and their loved one, tell their story in an essay not to exceed 1,000 words in length. To submit a story or to read the rules and qualifications, see the following website: www.brookdaleliving.com/carefelief. Nominations will be accepts through Sept. 30. For more information, contact Janice A. Pegues, executive director at Clare Bridge of Carmel, at 317-580-0389.

Shelly Fisher hopes to transform medical ID bracelets from unattractive necessities to fashionable accessories, and she’s targeting Hamilton County and Central Indiana to do it. Fishers’ business, Medical ID Marketplace, based in Philadelphia, offers those with chronic diseases or allergies a chic way to carry their medical information. Medical identication jewelry can be a life saver when worn during an emergency. However, many people don’t wear traditional bracelets to avoid being stigmatized. “People don’t need to wear their disease on their wrist,” said Fishers. “Our company recognized the importance and lifesaving value of medical bracelets. That’s why it was so important to create styles that people actually want to wear. Fisher created Medical ID Marketplace in 2003. The company sells a variety of unique designs to cater to a

wide array of consumers. The company also offers more traditional styles, as well as pendant and “dog tag” jewelry options. The company is working to expand its offerings to include medical identification products that can be displayed in the home or office. “We want to offer one stop shopping for identification,” say Fisher. Medical identification jewelry is recommended for anyone who suffers from conditions such as diabetes, asthma, blood disorders and heart disease. It is also recommended for those with severe drug, food or insect allergies. Medical bracelets offer critical information for emergency situations where a patient is incapacitated and unable to explain hiscondition. For now, displays can be seen and brochures obtained at Kroger stores in Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield and Fishers, and at other Kroger stores throughout Indiana. More information about the medical jewelry can be found online at www.medical-bracelet.com.

Scam artists targeting local seniors – Local senior care experts are urging families in North Indianapolis, Fishers and Carmel to be alert for scammers who may be targeting their senior loved ones with a variety of clever cons that could jeopardize not only their life savings but their independence. “Scam artists are specifically targeting seniors because they are the fastest-growing segment of the population, which has led to increased demands on law enforcement agencies,” said Jeff Sewell, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Indianapolis, serving North Indianapolis, Fishers and Carmel. As a result, the nonprofit National Association of Triads and the local Home Instead Senior Care office have launched a public information program called Protect Seniors from Fraud to educate families and seniors about how to protect themselves. Information about the program is available online at ProtectSeniorsFromFraud.com. To obtain a free Senior Fraud Protection Kit, contact Home Instead Senior Care at 317-252-4472.

Facelifts may need ‘help’ Commeantary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: I had a facelift about six weeks ago. This was a very traumatic experience for me. While my jowls and neck got better, my nasal folds and turned down corners of the mouth did not. They initially looked good while I was still swollen but that has now all gone away. This is very disappointing since this was one of the main reasons I had the operation. I feel like I wasted my money as my jowls and neck were not that bad. A: This is a common misconception and occurs either as a result of inadequate education during the consultation or a failure to understand what a facelift does best on your part. Because the tissue pull of a facelift occurs from around the ears, it has the least effect on anything far away. The mouth area is the fur-

thest point from the ears on the face, thus deep nasolabial folds or a downturned corner of the mouth will ultimately remain unchanged. It is just biomechanically impossible to substantially change the center of the face from back in the hairline. This is an issue that has frustrated facelift surgeons for years and many techniques have been tried, few with much success. This is why adjunctive techniques are often done with facelift that address the mouth area directly, like fat injections and a corner of the mouth lift. These can be at the time of a facelift or afterwards as may be desired in your case. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon. Comments can be sent to info@ eppleyplasticsurgery.com

Business Protecting yourself from your pet DOUGH

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Billy S. from Noblesville: I’ve got a big friendly dog, but I’ve always worried about what would happen if she bit someone. Am I protected if something like this happens? Response from Jamie Ianigro: We all love our pets. They make great family members, playmates and protectors, but they are always causing problems for insurance companies. Nearly two million people are bitten by dogs each year with around 800,000 of those folks requiring professional medical treatment for their wounds. Each of these incidents is a potential lawsuit and happened to unsuspecting pet owners just like us. Tens of millions of U.S. households own dogs and incidents show no sign of slowing down. A key factor that contributes to these incidents is the failure of dog owners to supervise and train their pets. Another problem is that many persons, especially children, do not know how to behave around dogs. The best part about this issue is that you’re already protected if you have a homeowner’s insurance policy. Just make sure you have adequate limits to protect you from financial damage if you have an incident like this. I recommend that everyone have a minimum liability limit of $1,000,000. Adding an extra million in coverage with an umbrella policy is also a good idea and doesn’t cost as much as you might imagine. Your liability limit is not just for pet attacks

either. It protects you from many unfortunate incidents like when a guest slips and falls in your driveway or when your kid accidently drives the lawn mower into the neighbor’s new Mercedes. Make sure you read your policy or go over it with your independent insurance agent to see what is excluded. When you own a pet you have a responsibility to raise and handle your pet in a manner that reduces the chance of an incident. Steps to take include researching your breed and general principles of ownership and care. You should always make certain that family members, neighbors, guests and strangers are protected from your pet. You should check out the resources available to help, such as tips from animal shelters, dog ownership clubs, the American Kennel Club and, of course, the internet. It may not be the fairest set of circumstances, but many insurers are choosing not to give dogs or their owners a fair chance. It is becoming more common for companies to refuse to write coverage for persons who own certain breeds of dogs. The breeds commonly excluded include Chows, Pit Bulls, Akitas, Rottweilers and Sharpeis. Therefore, you must fight this trend by not taking owning a pet lightly.

Friends partner to create party resource web site By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Long time friends and Fishers residents Renee Ahearn and Jennifer Payne teamed up this year to help busy parents in the Indianapolis metropolitan area plan birthday parties and other shindigs. Ahearn said the duo got the idea for their web site, myindyparty.com, when she was struggling to plan a successful party for her nine-year-old and trying to navigate the wealth of information online. “Jen said, ‘Let’s make a site to pull it all together,’” Ahearn said. The site serves as a database that compiles information on scores of venues and partyplanning businesses, as well as “party extras” like photographers, coupons, and a listing of free stuff for the kids. In compiling the database, the partners found party services in the Indy area that they never knew existed. Web site users enter criteria into a search, such as price range, venue type, location and their kids’ age(s) and interests, and the search returns listings of every appropriate venue or essential information. Payne and Ahearn said the biggest challenge with the business, which derives its profits from advertising, is driving traffic to the site. 18 | July 31, 2012

Jennifer Payne and Renee Ahearn Ten percent of the profits accrued are donated to family-oriented charities. In addition to the database services found at myindyparty.com, Ahearn and Payne each write a blog on various topics, such as party ideas. The partners said some of the best feedback they have received was from a mother whose party was rained out, but because of the database, was able to find a replacement venue at the last minute. Myindyparty.com launched in April. Payne said, “We wanted it be a service to people more than anything.”

Limestone provides class to buildings, lawns Landscaping by Randy Sorrell The Palladium, White House, Pentagon, Empire State Building and the Biltmore mansion share a distinct attribute. They are constructed of limestone harvested from Indiana, as are 35 of the nations state capital buildings. Understandably, Bedford, Ind. was considered the limestone capital of the world for years. It’s a favorite material of architects, “greenies” and construction teams worldwide driven by its’ soft nature, ease of cutting, copious supply chain and strong durability. I suspect those attributes were appreciated in 2,600 B.C. as thousands of slaves struggled to assemble the Great Pyramid. It remained paper white and smooth as glass until Arabs began “repurposing” the limestone exterior for mosques and other buildings. PATIO. WALLS. SLABS. BRIDGE. The organic history lends credibility to its’ inspired modern use. We love sourcing limestone in patios, retaining walls and as large slab steps in the landscape. Its’ immediate footprint is green friendly and, as the featured photos reflect, can be employed to formalize or naturalize.

The formal cut limestone wall and stately columns, repeated elsewhere in the estate, lends a textural counterpoint against the surrounding landscape, aged red clay paver auto court and brick / mortar historic home. Limestone is respectfully featured around this property in a mini quarry outcropping. Native seating blocks rescued from the Indianapolis Museum of Art envelop a rustic, decomposed granite fire-pit patio tucked in a hidden corner of the backyard. Limestone slabs behave nicely as petite stepping-stones or as a massive bridge over a stream or dry creek bed. Seamlessly combining textures, colors and formal with the informal is thrilling. It encourages repetition and surprise. There is something curiously romantic about Indiana limestone whose capacity is limited only by our brilliance. The historic and majestic quality of limestone prompts an instant respect for any outdoor living space. Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm.

Indoors

Master bath value is right combination Commentary by David Decker Just about every home is some combination of personal sanctuary and social gathering point. And just about every custom home improvement project is some combination of necessary function and enhanced livability. Value engineering helps to ensure that all those project and lifestyle tumblers fall neatly into place and properly click when making a real-life decision to undertake a master bathroom custom improvement project. More and more, the master bathroom has become something far beyond a â&#x20AC;&#x153;necessaryâ&#x20AC;? room and lavatory meant only to help launch us out into the busy-ness of the day. Master bathrooms have become part spa, oasis, and sanctuary shielding us from the hectic demands of life. Swirling tubs, steam baths, multi-head showers, walled off toilet compartments, spacious lounge areas with beautiful design and soothing colors make the most modern of master bathrooms a place to stay not just a place to, well, go. Often a homeowner will sort through the priorities of whether to upgrade the kitchen or the master bathroom. Obviously there can be exceptions but master bath projects tend to be far less costly than kitchen projects of similar scope. If cooking and entertaining are high priorities, the home improvement project budget should be

concentrated there. If personal space and comfort are the goals, then the investment can lean toward a wonderful master bathroom. Value engineering a home improvement starts with talking and proceeds through planning, budgeting, purchasing, and execution. A project that begins properly with clear, goal-defining communication has a good chance at success. This is one of the critical reasons to engage a home improvement professional. His or her experience, knowledge and skill combine to unlock the mystery of knowing how and to what extent a complex set of project goals can be achieved. Whether the goal is for sanctuary, comfort, or even medical necessity, a successful master bathroom improvement will be a combination of great ideas, great communication, and great value. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies.com.
