Town vs. City

Hamilton County Election Board defines merger voting blocs By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

In a 2-1 vote, the Hamilton County Election Board interpreted and defined voting blocs for the referendum on town government coming in November. The voting members of the board – Hamilton County Clerk Peggy Beaver, Democrat board member Keith Clock and Republican board member Matt Strzynski – spoke on the issue, as well as Kathy Richardson, state representative and election administrator. In addition, various legal counsels addressed the board, including Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives Brian Bosma. At the board’s Aug. 30 meeting, the first order of business was to address a question from Fall Creek Township about rescinding the town of Fishers and township merger question altogether. Richardson said she did not encounter codes that allow for rescission in any of her research, discussions with the Indiana Election Commission or the county attorney. “I feel like we have done all the research to confirm that the election board has no jurisdiction in terms of withdrawing this question from the ballot,” she said. County attorney Darren Murphy said the board has no purview under the Government Modernization Act of 2006, and if proponents wish to see the question rescinded, they must seek the court system. The act, as well as statutes and laws in the Indiana Election Code Book, was implemented in all of the proceedings, according to Beaver. Scott Chen, of law firm Faegre Baker Daniels, LLP, represented Fall Creek Township trustee Jeff Hern and spoke as the township’s legal counsel. He said he was hired on behalf of the township to look into the question. “It’s the township’s legal position, at least my legal position on behalf of the township, that (the referendum) is not able to be withdrawn to this last year on record,” Chen told the board. “Otherwise, I can tell you, secondly, on behalf of the township today, we support the placement of the question on the ballot and have no reason to suggest (to withdraw).” Fall Creek Township board member Doug Allman, the author of the resolution who requested the board meet and discuss the issue, later said that the Fall Creek Township Board has never met with Chen. The township’s regular legal counsel, Jeanette Kassebaum, was present at the meeting but did not speak. Turning to the second matter at hand, Richardson brought up the question of how votes are counted in the upcoming referendum. Richardson said she worked with MicroVote to ensure proper “lockouts” are in place so that the right voters are eligible to vote for certain questions. After those parameters were set, she said discerning how votes are tallied was tackled, which brought the Modernization Act back into consideration because the geographic size of the two merging political subdivisions determines voter blocs. She said because the town of Fishers is the larger geographic entity, both votes (unincorporated and incorporated) in Fall Creek will be counted with Fishers as one bloc. The second bloc will be

Delaware Township voters. Only Delaware Township residents residing within Fishers town limits will vote on the city question. “Based on the law and based on other opinions we have received, that is how we have set the ballot and how we set the totals,” Richardson said. After Richardson’s remarks, representatives speaking for both sides of the argument addressed the board. On the side questioning reorganization was Brian Baehle, who served on the planning and zoning subcommittee and other groups, attorney Anne Poindexter, representing a Fall Creek Township resident, and Allman.

Continued from Page 3 Chen, Town of Fishers Attorney Jennifer Messer and Bosma spoke on determining the blocs and interpreting the law itself. “The statute’s clear that we can talk about legislative intent,” Bosma said, “but, clearly, if the statute is written in a way that can be read and interpreted by a normal person, nothing beyond that is to be observed.” Allman said a minority of people will be overwhelmed and described the way the issue was being handled, as well as the construction of the ballot, as “fundamentally wrong.” Before a motion was made to interpret Indiana Code and establish the voting blocs, elec-

tion board member Clock said he felt for the township’s position. “I agree with councilman Allman that the ballot question is deceiving,” he said. “I think the Fishers interpretation does go against the spirit of the law... You’re correct in pointing out that the township voters are being drowned out.” The motion carried. Wayne M. Crane, chair for the political action committee Citizens to Reorganize Fishers, spoke for the group in a phone interview with Current in Fishers.

Town Council Update

What happened: A request to approve appointments to town boards and commissions passed.

Hire Us Before Your Spouse Does

What it means: The council approved multiple people to be added to two different entities. First, David Betts, a Fishers resident, was appointed to the YMCA Branch Board after applying for the position with YMCA Executive Director, Gregg Hilland, according to a council action form. The second group of appointees was for the Fishers Entrepreneurship Center, Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the not-for-profit that holds the Launch Fishers co-working space. Councilors John Weingardt and Pete Peterson, Town Manager Scott Fadness, Fishers Chamber of Commerce President Dan Canan and Joseph Eaton make up the newly appointed board that governs the not-for-profit. What happened: A request to approve Town contribution to Liberty Plaza Taskforce was passed as part of the consent agenda.

CALL 317-DIVORCE

What it means: According to a council action form from Tony Elliot, Asst. to the Town Manager, the Liberty Plaza Taskforce has been fundraising for a tribute to Fishersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; citizens that serve in the military and public safety for several years. In 2012, the group raised $40,000 for the monument, but the construction quote sits at $284,059. The council approved contributing the remainder of the bill, with the exception of a piece of the construction that includes a water feature, as well as a $50,000 bronze eagle, until the Liberty Plaza Taskforce can fund them. What happened: Resolution R090412 was approved. What it means: The town is adding new stop signs in various neighborhoods and intersections. The first intersection is at 131st Street and Minden Drive, making it a four-way stop. The second neighborhood and group of stop signs are located primarily along Bridgewater Road. For a full breakdown on where each new stop sign is located, head to fishers.in.us and pull up the agenda for the town council meeting, which links to two exhibits showing the sign locations. What Happened: A grant to the Fishers Economic and Community Development Commission was rescinded and reallocated to the Fishers Entrepreneurship Center, Inc. What it means: According to a council action form from Fadness, the not-for-profit overseeing the Launch Fishers project has been established as the Fishers Entrepreneurship Center, Inc. The funding for the center was never given to the FECDC and is now reallocated with the center.

23-year FFD veteran continues service with department By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com FFD Battalion Chief Steve White started combating fires for the Town of Fishers in 1989, and he just keeps asking for more. “I’m one of those that the first time I saw a fire truck, I knew that’s what I wanted to do,” White said. An East Coast native, White followed family to the Hoosier state and signed on with FFD as a volunteer firefighter. He eventually became a full-time member, climbed the ranks and has acted as battalion chief since 1997 – when Fishers was opening its third fire station. As battalion chief, White acts as shift supervisor for the five fire stations, making sure that the people with the correct skill sets are in the right places. When a fire is called in, White acts as an incident commander. It’s his job to come up with a plan of action and stay in charge of the emergency. His toughest call came before he was battalion chief, at a time when his youngest of four kids was still an infant. At the emergency, an infant of a close age went into cardiac arrest and passed away on him. He said emergencies that leave fellow firefighters burned are also tough to deal with. In addition to his fulltime role at FFD, White works with the Jackson County Fire District, as well as leads the Hamilton County Rescue

Cover Story

Fishers teen, Casey Lutz, advocates for sports-related brain injury awareness By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com During every game, football players – amateur and professional alike – take the field and unleash devastating tackles on their opponents. On other fields, soccer players head butt the ball, batters watch for wild pitches and elbows fly high when rebounding the basketball. Athletic contests sometimes result in concussions for players, leading to in short-term problems like missing part of a game or future games. Fishers resident and Our Lady of Grace Catholic School student Casey Lutz, 13, wants athletes and other young people to understand that concussions and related brain injuries can mean long-term health repercussions, too. Lutz will introduce Chris Nowinski, cofounder and president of the Sports Legacy Institute and co-director of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University School of Medicine, at the Brain Injury Association of Indiana’s fall conference Friday. In addition to speaking at the conference, Lutz’s awareness program, Project Licci, is participating in the association’s Family Education and Resource Fair Saturday. “If I can help one kid (realize) what it takes to be saved from brain injury, then it’ll be totally worth it,” Lutz said.

Class in session

Lutz started the Project Licci initiative to get the word out about how concussions impact overall health, as well as preventing and recognizing them. He started his quest as part of a global issues project at Our Lady of Grace. Each student is tasked with learning about an issue and attempting to make a difference. The program is named after John Licci, the patron saint of head injuries. In search of an idea, Lutz’s focus shifted to a family friend facing tough times. Phil Conley, a competitor on the 1956 US Olympic team and friend of Lutz’s grandfather, played multiple sports during his time at California Institute of Technology, including football. “Not many players on his team were as athletic as him,” Lutz said, “so he took many hits.” Lori Lutz, Casey’s mother, said Conley started showing signs of dementia in his 60s, with no family history of the ailment whatsoever. “He just started having a lot of signs of dementia,” she said, “and they’re tying it back to those hits he took as a quarterback. It’s just kind of sad to see someone so affected like that.”

Spreading the word

Working towards presenting the project for school, Lutz met with several organizations www.currentinfishers.com

Meet Casey Lutz

Luke and Michael Duerson, brother of Dave Duerson. Project Licci worked with the Dave Duerson Muncie Community Schools Athletic Safety fund.

Residence: Fishers Age: Eighth grader at Our Lady of Grace School in Noblesville Career goals: “I am interested in both the Air Force and law enforcement.” Hobbies: Basketball, video games, collecting pens and going to movies. Favorite food: Lasagna Favorite sports team: “The Oregon Ducks because I was named after the golf coach, Casey Martin, the pro who went to the U.S. Supreme Court to fight to be able to use a golf cart during tournaments because of a disability that made it painful for him to walk. I also like the Colts and Pacers.” Most interesting fact you learned about concussions: “I was amazed at how often concussions happen and not just in contact sports. Cheerleaders, gymnasts, skateboarders – they all see head injuries and don’t have the benefit of even a helmet to protect their brains. I am also surprised at how little was known even a few years ago about how to rest after a concussion and not play until your brain has healed.” For more information on Saint John Licci, visit www.currentinfishers.com. Contact Lutz through project licci.com.

and distributed multiple “brain care packages” packed with information on brain injuries, some containing special goggles that simulate the effects of concussions. His goal is to contact 60 schools in 60 days. He said he’s worked with 15 schools so far, including Catholic schools in the area and their sports collectives. In addition to working with local schools, Project Licci worked with the Dave Duerson Muncie Community Schools Athletic Safety Fund. The fund is named for two-time Super Bowl champ Dave Duerson, who committed suicide last year. Neurologists concluded he suffered from a neurodegenerative disease associated with concussions, according the the group's Web site. Its goal is to help youth athletes who need post-concussion testing and awareness. Lutz said he spends a lot of time on the weekends working on the project, which includes doing chores to pay for the brain care packages. If the care package includes the concussion goggles, the cost of the package can be as much as $200. Project Licci is self-funded by Lutz, with the help of a few private donations. Lutz said it’s most important to understand how a concussion can feel fine in the short-term but resurface in later years. Lori said it’s been tough for him to get speaking engagements with schools, but he has seen some success. At the The Brain Injury Association of Indiana conference in four days, however Lutz will be introducing an expert in the field. “I think it’s because he’s a 13-year-old kid,” She said, “and it’s going to take the 13-year-old kids to make a difference.” Current in Fishers

Opinion Biggest question is yet to come

Honey Boo Boo for president? It is our position that registered voters should do their best to remain engaged in the election process this fall. There is no doubt that the political noise pollution could be potentially deafening as the final few months, days and hours leading up to Election Day on Nov. 6 approaches. The Democratic National Convention will be over by the time this editorial goes to print, however, here’s hoping more voters tuned in than their Republican counterparts who were beat out in the television ratings by a reality show, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” featuring the adventures of a 6-yearold self-proclaimed “redneckognized” pageant starlet and her family. While watching back-to-back campaign speeches and crowd shots of red, white and blue clad convention delegates with confetti on their shoulders may not be the most exciting television, it is an opportunity to learn more about the candidates. Whether you open your wallet, attend a gathering, visit an official campaign Web site, listen to a candidate being interviewed on the radio or open up a newspaper – it is crucial to the success of your community and to the nation, that you can make an informed decision on Election Day.

Smelling the roses

Commentary by Terry Anker

“You should stop and smell the roses,” they admonish. Stop working, building and accumulating and enjoy fruits from that labor and the gifts of God. While I get the point, finding the balance continues to flummox me. Doesn’t it often seem like we're trying to drink from a fire hydrant – the water is either absent or raging. Taking a tiny sip requires distance and perspective. Drink too close to the source and it’s going to hurt. We constantly struggle with the choices we’re forced to make between family, work, charity, spirituality and even ourselves. Perhaps this affliction of the modern age is of minor consequence. When one is starving or fearful of wild animals, priorities become very clear-cut. But in a world that fully meets basic needs, we have choice. And that freedom invites moral hazard. Work too much and family suffers. Work too little and they suffer in different ways. Spend too little time in reflection and our soul can lose its mooring. Yet if workers produce,

and correspondingly consume, too little, jobs would vanish for lack of demand, governments would fail for lack of taxes, charities would close for lack of support and tens of millions would suffer and die. In short: If we all smell the roses, who is planting, tending and preserving them? Absent care, how long can we expect them to flourish? Perhaps we simply align along lines of our natural ability. Some seek constant engagement while others prefer a more relaxed schedule. Even in the same household, one child may be eager to study and make their bed while her sister is equally eager to avoid work focusing instead on less productive pursuits. Does this bias stem from culture or genetics? Is one approach morally superior? Is there greater failure in over-work or underachievement?

Town or city? As you may know, you and your fellow voters will decide just that for Fishers on Nov. 6 during Election Day polling. We visited with town officials last week to get a “neutral” information download. We believe we received a fair representation of what City Yes! and Citizens to Reorganize are driving toward with their respective campaigns. To be sure, this decision is one that should not be taken lightly by any taxpayer in this town, and while we will reserve further comment until we can get answers to additional questions, we do know this: The decision is one that is going to shape nearly everything for the future of Fishers. It won’t be difficult to miss the issue on the ballot, because it will be directly above the portion containing the choices for president of the United States. Elsewhere in today’s paper, our managing editor, Dan Domsic, provides a closer look at the issue, and we also include a great visual aid, courtesy of the town, on what happens “if.” Our coverage will be broadened and deepened as voting day draws nearer. We urge you and your fellow readers to, if you aren’t already, become as intellectually alert as possible on whether Fishers should remain a town or become a city. ••• A hearty round of applause to Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry, who teamed last week with state Attorney General Greg Zoeller to warn Indiana retailers that they can expect a formal notice that continued synthetic drug sales could cost them their businesses. Simply put: Sales of “spice” and “bath salts,” among 60 or so similar products, must end. They are a scourge.

The $1 million question Commentary by Dan Domsic

Journalism is a curious profession. I want to know everything about everyone, but I do not want everyone to know everything about me. I sit down across from a source and want to know everything about their story. Why do you do what you do? How much does this cost? Is this needed? What are some challenges that you face? The aforementioned are just a few questions that I regularly ask people. I expect (or hope) that a source tells me the whole story, but it seems, as of late, they want to know what I think about his or her story. This makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. In times when many, many people lambaste the mainstream media for its supposed biases, I do not like sharing any opinion on what I’m writing about. Don’t get me wrong – I think we can all agree that philanthropy and charitable causes are great for communities like Fishers, but when it comes down to it, I just do not like commenting on what I’m writing about. Sometimes I let my guard down and what I’m thinking slips. I don’t like when that happens.

stvincent.org

At the same time, I try not to be evasive to the point of being stand-offish or just plain rude. What I’m getting at is, please don’t be offended if it seems like I’m measuring my words and constructing a reaction. Because I am. Just please understand that I’m trying to balance a lot of one things at once. Do I have the whole the story? Is there anything else I need to ask? Remember to be friendly and approachable. How will my story be structured? I’d prefer to keep “what is my opinion about this” off that list of things to think about – because it shouldn’t, and ultimately doesn’t, matter. As I have said in previous columns, I have sincerely enjoyed learning about people in Fishers and getting to know the community. I will tell you this much: There are some extraordinary stories to tell in this community.

Wilson's satire is funny and interesting Editor, I feel the need to puff my chest out and defend my favorite columnist in the Fishers Current! There was a time when I used this publication for fireplace kindling or as fodder for a nice green recycling feeling. Then I began reading Danielle Wilson’s column and was an instant fan. She is smart, witty and entertaining. I regularly read the column out loud to my bemused little wife and we laugh and are spurred to conversation. The quasi, “review” of 50 Shades of Grey was another funny and interesting piece. The fact that she received a stodgy and judgmental letter

EMErgENCy?

in criticism was maddening. Columnists are not responsible for setting standards of behavior in our community. It sounds like Ms. Stodge would be good at doing that job. Creative writing and satirical essays are almost a lost art. As long time Fishers residents, we like to tease that, “the best thing about Carmel is Danielle Wilson!” All in good fun though. Keep up the good work, Danielle. We love you! P.S. 50 Shades of Grey has had a lot of effects on our 31 year marriage and, “abuse” was NOT one of them. Peace Out. Kevin Wagner, 46037

Opinion

My husband is a precious soul Commentary by Danielle Wilson Husbands are adorable, aren’t they? It’s in the way they can love their families so much that anything that takes them away is cause for great suffering. Doo is a perfect example. See, his work requires him to travel periodically for three to four nights at a time. During summer vacation, his absence is noticeable, definitely, but certainly tolerable. I’m still singleparenting four children, but I don’t have to worry about school activities, homework or making sure my kids shower. But when business trips happen during the school year, life gets dicey. Like last week. Doo was gone Sunday through Thursday, and as cruel fate would have it, so were my in-laws. Of course, the kids had events scheduled every night. So in addition to working full days myself and doing basic mom stuff, I had to attend two meet-the-teacher events and a cross country meeting, carpool kids to and from soccer and running practices and coordinate who would be getting my 8-yearold on and off the bus each day since her older siblings are now on the middle school schedule. Suffice it to say, I was exhausted physically and mentally by the time Doo returned. But here’s what’s sweet. He honest-to-goodness thinks his week was harder; that sleeping in a hotel room and having to eat alone in a restaurant is far worse than being a single par-

ent. That being responsible for only one person, himself, is more taxing than making sure four short people are clothed and fed and mostly clean 24/7. His week was miserable not because of conference calls and data reports but because he wasn’t home with us. Isn’t that precious? Me? I could never miss my family that much. I would literally sacrifice our cat to have four nights of uninterrupted sleep in a bed that someone else has made. I’d throw in the creepy anoles to enjoy just one quiet dinner, no dishes attached, with only a good book for company. Call me a glutton for punishment, but I’d even donate my first-born son for six hours of driving, each way, when I can stop whenever and wherever I please while listening to whatever songs I fancy. Doo doesn’t get it, as I suspect few men do, and, consequently, is unable to validate my anxiety, exhaustion and jealousy while he’s away. I just come off as a selfish woman who can’t appreciate her husband’s sacrifices. In reality, though, I simply long for a break from routine, and if that means sampling faux-crab salad at Bennigan’s with Nora Roberts’ latest, so be it. I’ll leave the adorable bit to Doo. Peace out.

Wait out menopause for tummy tuck? Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley Q: I am currently going through menopause and am considering a tummy tuck. I am on hormone replacements. I am having a lot of difficulty losing the belly weight. Should I wait until menopause is over? A: Going through menopause is not a contraindication to tummy tuck surgery. It in no way affects how the surgery is done, the success of the procedure or your recovery. Its only relevance is how you feel and whether you feel good enough to go through a tummy tuck surgery with the physical and mental challenges that menopause unfairly inflicts on women. As for what happens after a lipo-abdominoplasty procedure (combined tummy tuck and waistline liposuction), there is a common misconception that fat re-accumulates elsewhere, known as the fat homeostasis theory. Recent studies have Fool yourself – Sneaky tips, not big fixes, can often be very effective when it comes to weight loss. For example, using a salad plate for your dinner entree instead of a larger one can help you to eat less without even knowing it. And next time you go out, try ordering an appetizer for your meal. Calorically speaking, the main course at a restaurant is usually much larger than an appropriate portion size. www.realbeauty.com Girl problems – It is no secret that high heels are painful, but what many do not know is that wearing them excessively can lead to everything from ankle sprains to chronic pain. Lower varieties with chunkier heels offer more support, but if you simply cannot give up your stilettos, consider orthotic inserts. - www. webmd.com

A guide to the local fall festival season By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Fall means one thing in Indiana: festival season. Indianapolis’ north side is in no short supply of its own. During the next two months, five events will celebrate the changing of the seasons, each in its own way:

Oktoberfest @ Saxony – Fishers Fishers Oktoberfest is a large, day-long event running from noon until 10 p.m. on Sept. 22. The focus of the event, like most Oktoberfest celebrations, is undoubtedly the local food and beer. According to Fishers Freedom Festival Executive Director Jennifer Kehl, the event is expected to see as many as 3,000 attendees over the course of the day. Oktoberfest celebrations are typically thought of as adult events due to their focus on beer, but this year’s Fishers Oktoberfest is hoping to create a more family-friendly experience with a number of free games for children and parents from noon to 6 p.m., as well as a focus on local arts and craft vendors.

Grand Junction Funktion – Westfield What originally began as a homemade derby car race between local business owners and school organizations has grown into a full-fledged fall festival. From 2-8 p.m. on Sept. 29, South Union Street in Westfield will be transformed into a gravity-powered race track surrounded by live music and food. Last year’s event saw a number of unique derby car designs: a Batmobile created by Westfield High School seniors, a three-wheeled recycle bin created by Westfield Public Works and even a blue-and-white Westfield police cruiser complete with flashing lights.

39th Annual Pumpkin Harvest Festival – Noblesville While most festivals last only for a weekend, Stonycreek Farm’s Pumpkin Harvest Festival begins Sept. 29 and runs through Halloween. Activities include everything from grinding your own wheat to a kid-friendly haunted house, and even a “cob cannon” capable of firing ears of corn. To commemorate the festival’s 40th anniversary, any person turning 40 during the months of September and October is invited to ride the farm’s zip line for free. 15th Annual Carmel International Arts Festival – Carmel

13th Annual Potter’s Bridge Fall Festival – Noblesville Centered on Hamilton County’s only remaining historic covered bridge, the Potter’s Bridge Fall Festival features local arts and crafts, live music and food. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 6. It’s a great opportunity to get a bite to eat and stroll Noblesville’s scenic Potter’s Bridge Park.

For a full listing of dates, locations, activities and entertainment for all of the upcoming fall festivals, please see the Festival Calendar on the adjacent page. 14 | September 11, 2012

Umbrella policies help plan for the worst Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Desmond H. of Fishers: All this crazy weather and the commercials asking people if they’re covered for a certain situation has got me thinking: How do I prepare for the worst? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Those commercials have lot of people thinking. Insurance prices have stopped dropping, and now is the time to lock in a great rate with the best coverage available. I always recommend meeting with your independent insurance agent to make sure you’re completely protected. The big thing I want to touch on from your question is preparing for the worst. 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 really all about having the peace of mind to know that your family and assets are protected. There are many ways to end up with an umbrella claim, but 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 homeowners, 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 that you are comfortable with. Most people should be pretty comfortable with an umbrella limit of $1 million, but limits exceeding $10 million are available if you are looking for superior protection. I don’t want to say that umbrella claims are unpreventable, but they are the type of claims that happen no matter how prepared you are. There are some things that make a claim more likely, such as having a pool, living on a lake, having a young driver, or owning a boat/ATV/ snow mobile (basically anything fun). Let’s go through a claim scenario to show you how an umbrella works: Scenario #1: 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 over 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 $800,000 with $300,000 coming from the auto limits and $500,000 coming from the umbrella limits.

from 11:00am - 3:00pm

Time to hoard? – Hostess Brands has gone bankrupt again, and this time it might be hard for the company to find a new lease on life, writes David A. Kaplan. Investors say they're unwilling to throw more money at the company, which is struggling in the face of a long-running labor dispute and a series of management shakeups. -www.cnnmoney.com Rolling in it – An 8-year-old British boy hit the jackpot by discovering a huge chunk of whale vomit while wandering along a beach recently. The chunk of waxy yellow rock is believed to be worth about $63,000, since whale vomit – marketed under the more salubrious name of "ambergris" – is prized by the perfume industry. - www.huffpo.com

Pottery Barn knock-off hanging ghosts Commentary by Ashley Phipps I have a confession to make; please don’t judge. I love Pottery Barn, I really do – but I don’t always love the price. So when I saw their Halloween line of décor last year, I realized that I could easily make their hanging ghosts at a fraction of the cost! So I set about creating my own version of PB’s hanging ghosts. And you can do the same, simply, inexpensively and quickly! You will need: • Styrofoam balls (8”, 6”, 4”) • Black craft paint • Small paint brush • Cheese cloth (I used about 2 yards per ghost, in 1 yard squares, for a total of 6 yards) • Eye screws (3) • E6000, wood or other similar glue First, you will want to insert your eye screws into the top of each Styrofoam ball using your glue. Let this dry completely. If you’re a little bit crazy like me, you will want to paint these white so that they blend in with the ghost.

Next, use your black craft paint to paint ghost eyes on each Styrofoam ball. Let dry completely. Take (2) 1-yard squares and place them over top each Styrofoam ball. Using scissors, cut “rips” in the cheesecloth. Take each shred in your hand and stretch is down. This will create a tattered look in the cheesecloth. Repeat with the other two Styrofoam balls and hang! The originals retail for about $59 and my knockoff ones cost less than $15 for all three!! Pretty cute, huh? I love my new hanging ghosts! And I am so happy to finally have some more cute outdoor Halloween decor! So if you come trick or treating this year, you will be sure to meet my new little ghost friends! Happy crafting! Ashley Phipps, Interior Designer NCIDQ #25242, floral designer, and creator, designer and author of Simply Designing: www. simplydesigning.blogspot.com.

Tax headache – The heirs of art dealer Ileana Sonnabend have inherited “Canyon,” a pop-art masterpiece by Robert Rauschenberg that's been valued at $65 million by IRS assessors. Only one catch: The artwork features a stuffed bald eagle, making it illegal to sell the work under federal eagle protection rules. That's left Sonnabend's heirs on the hook for a $29 million tax bill, but with no way to sell the artwork in question. - www.nyt.com Shining in the sun – If you love seeing your car’s paint glisten, you’ll love the DuPont Pro-Fusion Color Scratch Repair Stick.

Grammar Guy

Grammar in print Commentary by Jordan Fischer I’ve written weekly columns on and off since I was 17 (which is almost eight years), and I’ve never received a response like the one my first two grammar pieces have received. I’d be flattered if I thought it was because my writing is any good. Rather, I’m pretty sure it’s evidence of what I’ve suspected for years: There are far more closeted English nerds out there than people realize. Most of us blend in fairly well – until someone mentions the Oxford Comma, that is. Then the battle lines are drawn. As I go through your letters and work on answers to your grammatical pet peeves, I thought I’d share a few of my own. Some of these are from the Internet. Some of them pop up regularly as I go about my copy editing duties. All of them irk me. Afterward, upward and toward – This rule can be a bit tricky, I’ll admit. These words all indicate directionality in time or space. The majority, save for “afterward,” can be used as both an adjective and a verb. In the adverbial form, though, they gain an “s” at the end: afterwards, upwards and towards (and onward, backwards, downwards, etc.). Since it’s football season now, let’s grab a pigskin for our example. In the adjectival form, “upward” modifies the noun: The quarterback threw the ball in an upward spiral. In the adverbial form, “upwards” will modify the verb: The punter kicked the ball upwards.

Make Your Cash Work harder For You

Spaces after periods – I realize this column won’t settle the debate, but, really, you only need to put one space after a period. It’s a typographic convention that fell out of favor with U.S. publishers in the 1940s, and which has been made utterly obsolete by digital word processing. Additionally, HTML, the language the majority of the Internet is coded in, will automatically remove a double space, so you don’t be seeing it online. I know that people were taught to double-space in typing class and for some it has become a venerated tradition. More than and over – I suppose I should start this off by saying that, technically, according to people who didn’t ask me, “more than” and “over” are perfectly interchangeable. But they shouldn’t be, darn it. “More than” indicates an amount, whereas “over” indicates direction or positioning. You wouldn’t say, “The cow jumped more than the moon,” now would you? Simon and Garfunkel wouldn’t have been nearly as popular with “Bridge More Than Troubled Water.” If you are over something, you are on a higher elevation. If you have more than something, you have a greater quantity. Period.

An alternative for your short-term funds.

IntroducingThe All-New 2013

LEXUS ES SErIES Starts conversations. And then leaves you speechless.

Plant this fall for next spring Landscaping by Randy Sorrell It’s no longer a secret that fall is the favored time to plant most trees, shrubs and perennials. Perhaps the most compelling incentive behind fall installation is looking ahead to next summer. Recall how brutal recent summers’ intense heat and drought have been? There will likely be repeat performances, and your plants are considerably better equipped to handle those tortuous conditions when planted now instead of next spring! WHY? Soil conditions are very happy in the fall with cooler temperatures and more predictable moisture levels. Fresh root systems thrive in this environment and send out lots of new shoots to quickly establish themselves. That’s actually their fall habit, pushing out root growth to get established for the anticipated harsh winter conditions. In the spring and summer, energies are spent producing lush foliage, bright flowers and showy berries for birds to nibble on. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Also, there are fewer pests and diseases in the fall to attack your favorite flowering buddy. TRANSPLANTS & SPLITTING Fall is also the ideal time to transplant shrubs to another location where they may perform better. How’s your full-sun hydrangea looking? Mine are spent, and I plan on moving a few to a place with a little afternoon shade to minimize watering. Scorched holly with a southern or western exposure would appreciate the same favor. Splitting perennials is a great idea, too. Are

your lilies, coneflower and black-eyed Susans looking a little tired and not ambitiously reblooming like they should? Hosta a little bloated? They probably need split. Splitting controls growth, maximizes blooming and stimulates a fresh appearance next year. Ornamental grasses send their own “time to split” signal when they develop a donut hole in the grassy middle. Watch as spring landscape excitement gradually transfers to fall frenzy in the future.

Tiles to the ceiling

STROOPP

™

Remodeling by Dave Decker

THE

Choosing tile for your home once meant picking from among a handful of neutral-toned ceramic squares from a rack of options in a somewhat overwhelming and impersonal warehouse. The experience alone could be daunting and somewhat stressful for even the experienced home improvement consumer, as the choices are endless. Nowadays, not only are showrooms becoming more boutiquelike and intimate, the most successful ones also offer design services to narrow down your wish list and pinpoint a style and look that is timeless. So where to begin? Amid all the possibilities out there, the biggest challenge might be choosing something you’ll continue to love for a decade or more. Porcelain tile is now made to look realistically like everything from aged wood and rough fieldstones to sleek Italian marble. Tiles made of glass, cork, mirror and even leather are taking the place of traditional ceramics. In all shapes and sizes, they are being used not just in kitchens and baths, but also gracing entryways, mudrooms and more. Trends are shifting toward using tile all the way up to the ceiling, rather than the more oldfashioned approach of doing partial-tile walls with a snub-nosed edge. Full-tile walls make the whole room more cohesive, and can also give the illusion the room is larger than it is. Also consider getting creative with grout. Simple

white subway tiles are a classic choice that can either be installed with thin, barely visible lines or thick lines in bold and darker “shades of grey” that can bring excitement to even the simplest kitchen design. No three-part book series required! Once you have decided on a look and feel that suits the existing style of your home, and is also one that you find brings you happiness every time you walk into the room, the next step is finding a qualified professional to help pull it all together. Although it is possible to do the removal and installation on your own, the dangers of demolition and tile cutting can be an issue, and even the highest quality tile will look unattractive if it’s been installed incorrectly. At the end of the day, there are ways to save on materials, fixtures and the like, but one place to splurge is to hire a reputable and responsible installation team. This ensures a beautiful and safe result for years to come. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring.
