The Commute

Allisonville Road and 96th work in 2013 still a possibility By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Current in Fishers caught up with Jeff Hill, director of engineering at the Town of Fishers,

last week to see what’s going on with local roadways. Nathan Riggs, media relations director at INDOT, lent some insight on projects going on at Exit 205 on I-69.

Better Options. Healthier Legs.

Project: Allisonville Road and 96th Street “Michigan Left” Status: Hill said the status at Allisonville Road has not changed. He said the contractor is trying to get as much done as possible, but continued pavement in 2013 is still a possibility at the project. Small changes will continue to be implemented at the intersection, in terms of lane shifts. Besides the small changes, a retaining wall is being built on the south side of 96th Street. Project: 126th Street Phase II and Phase III Status: Phase II of the construction on 126th Street construction is complete, which is the section between Brooks School Road and Promise Road, with the exception of repairs on damaged materials and hand-rail on the bridge over I-69. Phase III of the project is progressing, according to Hill. Two westbound lanes should be paved this week, but because of continued curb, median and drive work on the north side of the road, it will be another 4-6 weeks before those lanes can be used. Project: Britton Park Drive and 135th Place Drive roundabout and 135th Place and Ind. 37 intersection Status: Excavation for the new roundabout started. Hill said there is a 45 day road closure in the works, but details are not solid enough as of yet to make an announcement. He said once the road is closed the clock starts ticking for the contractor. At the intersection project, the contractor is currently building a box culvert, as well as foundation footing. Hill said rain stalled the contractor, but they’re fine in terms of time. Project: I-69 and Exit 205 Status: In a phone interview with Current in Fishers, Riggs said the northbound construction at Exit 205 on I-69 will be completed by the end of the year, but southbound construction won’t be completed until summer 2013. He added that a contractor will be adding a main travel lane on I-69 from 116th Street to I-465, as well as auxiliary lanes from the 116th Street exit to the 96th Street exit. The additions are meant to ease congestion.

Public Safety/People in the news

Local fire departments, emergency teams contain gas spill By Dan Domsic dan@youarecurrent.com A gasoline spill occurred at approximately 10 a.m. Sept. 10 and was contained by multiple local agencies at the Rickers BP gas station at Cumberland Road and 116th Street. The spill caused a nearby immediate care center to evacuate and temporarily closed down the Kroger grocery store in the same vicinity, according to a press release. FFD officials alerted the public to the spill Monday morning and had the situation wrapped-up by the afternoon. FFD, FPD, Fishers Public Works, Hamilton County Emergency Management and the Noblesville Fire Department’s Hazmat truck were on the scene to handle the situation, according a press release from Ron Lipps, deputy fire marshal and public information officer. He said organizations in the area use each other for mutual aid, and because this incident had potential for fire and environmental damage, outside agencies were valuable. According to the release, “contractors were transferring gasoline from one underground tank to another when the receiving tank overflowed.”

When the tank overflowed, approximately 50 to 100 gallons of gasoline spilled, with at least 50 gallons dumping into a nearby storm drain. FFD and Fishers Public Works worked together to trace the drain system and blocked an outlet to ensure the gasoline could not exit. The responders used fans to clear out the vapors. Officials temporarily closed Cumberland Road before determining that the gasoline spill was flowing westbound through the nearby parking lot and not towards the street. When spills like this occur, it’s the company’s responsibility to employ a professional contractor to handle the scene, as well, Lipps said in phone interview with Current in Fishers. He said the gas station phoned in the emergency promptly, and the situation went as well as it could have. The gasoline was prevented from entering Sand Creek, which could have caused complications as the stream eventually feeds Indianapolis water. Lipps said 50 gallons isn’t a huge spill, but the containment process would have been more complicated. “The key is quick notification for us so we get there in time,” Lipps said.

70 thefts reported to FPD in August – During last month, FPD was alerted to thefts including shoplifting, thefts from vehicles, bicycles, buildings and vehicle parts. Public Information Officer Tom Weger said that amount of reported thefts over a month-long period is typical for the Town of Fishers. FPD introduced patrols to specific areas that saw various types of theft. At the end of the month, FPD sent out a notice stating that the Tanglewood Neighborhood saw a number of thefts in which thieves stole metal window well covers, and as a result, extra patrols were dispatched to the neighborhood. In addition to extra patrols, Chief George Kehl, recently instituted a new “impact car” program. Weger said the program is designed to put police officers in various neighborhoods at specific times of the day and increase visibitlity with residents, as well as deter criminal activity. Weger said FPD worked in conjunction with Carmel Police Department to investigate catalytic converter thefts, which led to arrests in CPD’s jurisdiction. The three people arrested are suspects in thefts in Carmel, Fishers, Westfield and Noblesville.

Plain talk

A job well done

Commentary by Susan Bryant

Something sort of magical happened with my son’s recent social studies project. His class was studying geography and the assignment was to make a map of an imaginary country which included all the signs and symbols they were studying in class. At first, his usual procrastination set in, along with complaints about doing such a big project on the weekend, the “when am I ever going to need to know this” argument, etc. Then he started the project. And it grew into an elaborately sketched out plan, with islands and mountain ranges and railroads connecting multiple cities. Different options about what to include on the map were considered at length. The markers and crayons came out to carefully color this intricate design. By the time my son was done, he ended up spending hours embellishing the project well beyond the requirements. He was proud of his work and excited to turn it in. I felt like he turned a corner that day – realizing that doing a good job is its own reward. He understood there would be no extra credit for his extra effort, no gold star, no “reward bucks” teachers often use for motivation – the work

@SaxonyMarket

itself was enough. Hopefully this lesson will linger with him and as he grows older he’ll make the connection that when you find work you enjoy and you’re good at, it doesn’t really seem like “work.” Expending only the minimal effort required isn’t acceptable anymore because you really care about what you’re doing and you want to do it well. Doing a good job becomes the norm because that’s the standard you set for yourself, not for teachers and not for parents. I suspect that once a person internalizes this value, whatever definition of success or happiness they have is easier to achieve. Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of things this particular twelve year old boy has pretty low standards for (a clean room and personal hygiene for instance.) My hope however, is that when it comes to whatever work becomes important to him - when no one’s watching and no prize is being dangled -he still does a good job.

Cover Story

Fishers resident Humbert Lopes recognized for helping Hoosiers manage their finances By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com At one point in his life, Humbert Lopes, was called a “triple-headed monster.” During his time with the 98th Bomber Wing during a three-year tour of duty in WWII and a two-year tour in the Korean War, Lopes, 87, was a bombardier, navigator and radar operator on iconic aircraft like the B-29 Superfortress. The long-time Fishers and Hamilton County resident was recently recognized for his service as a volunteer with the Hamilton County Council on Aging. Today, the council is sponsored by a non-profit organization called CICOA, a AAA organization, which administers funds and works with various aging programs. The Council on Aging is the last rung on a ladder of sponsorship that includes the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration. Lopes was also recognized by Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman during this year’s Indiana State Fair with the Golden Hoosier Award, also in part for his work with a money management program that helps seniors stay on top of finances. Skillman and the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration established the award, recognizing “seniors who work hard to improve their communities, help others and serve as mentors and caregivers,” according to a press release from the Indiana House of Representatives. “Humbert’s enthusiasm for helping others and his will to make a difference has made a considerable impact on our community,” said Rep. Kathy Richardson in the release. “His commitment to volunteerism is honorable and inspiring.” His work in Hamilton County started when he moved to the area to work at a Firestone operation in Noblesville. “As you look back when you’re older, you say how did I get where I am,” Lopes said. “and how did somebody say go to Noblesville, Ind. God is my direction.”

Cultivating a career

Before Lopes could climb the ladder at Firestone Industrial Products, eventually securing a job as a division president at the Noblesville location, he first experienced two wars and four years of college.

Lopes with an official and Lt. Gov. Skillman

He said he was brought into other divisions of Firestone as a problem solver. He would later help solve the problem of money management for senior Hoosiers.

Being an advocate

Lopes tells his story to Current from the comfort of his couch in his Allisonville Road Home. (Photos by Brian Brosmer)

Originally from Massachusetts, Lopes remembers passing by a post office during war time – when the draft was in full swing – and seeing a poster that simply read “learn to fly.” He talked to the representatives at the post office, passed a two-year college equivalent exam and a physical and was on his way to a cadet program. “I passed the physical, and I told the Army to

go to hell,” he said. In between WWII and the Korean War, Lopes earned an engineering degree that he put to use at Firestone, as well as Natick Chemical Laboratories in Massachusetts, developing a new gas mask and, eventually, helmet liners that help defoliate a bullet on impact, a principle used in today’s bullet-proof vests.

Lopes got involved with the Hamilton County Council on Aging in the early 1990s when AARP sent him a letter asking him to help with a money management program that would aid citizens in the state, which was also under the charge of the FSSA. He said he was invited to a meeting, at which many attended. In the end, he was selected to head the program up. According to Lopes, the program, meant to help those who can’t control or monitor monthly spending, was offered to the states, and Hamilton County was one of the first areas to participate. The money management program aims to train clients on how to handle paying bills in today’s age and assists those who have physical disabilities. Lopes and other volunteers sometimes take clients grocery shopping. Lopes sometimes must get authorization from Social Security to use a client’s funds to pay specific bills. In other situations he makes sure specific monthly bills get paid. He said banks are “merciless in how they handle people who may end up being his clients. Sometimes they can’t qualify for credit cards. In some situations, Lopes completely represents a client’s finances. Lopes said other would-be volunteers should get involved if they have a passion for people or organizations. He said organizations like CICOA are what Hamilton County needs. “They (volunteers) have to want to be part of it,” he said. “You have to have the heart for it.”

“As you look back when you’re older, you say how did I get where I am, and how did somebody say go to Noblesville, Ind. God is my direction.”

Opinion Arts festival worthy of your attention

The flight of a lifetime It is our position that the nonprofit Indy Honor Flight is providing an admirable service through its mission of transporting elderly and terminally-ill Hoosier veterans to visit memorials in Washington, D.C. dedicated to honor their sacrifices. In the inaugural flight on Sept. 10, 80 World War II veterans along with volunteers consisting of guardians, trip leaders and healthcare professionals took a day trip to see the WWII War Memorial for the first time. They were honored with a proper “welcome home” on their return by a crowd of well-wishers with American flags, banners and signs at the Indiana National Guard that also included a mail call in which each veteran received several letters and cards thanking them for their service. In the words of the late Will Rogers, “We can’t all be heroes, some of us need to stand on the curb and clap as they go by.” And, thanks to the volunteers of Indy Honor Flight, Hoosier veterans of our Greatest Generation are finally receiving the welldeserved recognition for fighting to preserve our freedoms. The total cost of an honor flight is around $65,000. Donations are needed for a second honor flight. To donate, visit IndyHonorFlight.org.

Taxing consideration

Commentary by Terry Anker

For as long as there have been politicians when an election looms, candidates namecall, prevaricate and foment envy, jealously and outright hatred. In an America where only half of us pay taxes, the conflict over money is like Clark Griswold’s Thanksgiving Day argument with his perpetually unemployed brother-in-law – “give me money, you have too much.” We still determine one’s worth by paycheck – but now when one’s earnings exceed average they are judged as BAD. Isn’t this the same as criticizing Michael Jordan for scoring more points than the rest of the league? Like most things, it is a matter of perspective. If one benefits from government handouts, those programs make sense. If one pays for them, value becomes the top priority. We rarely mind when someone else is being taxed; so it would seem that the trick is to only tax those who don’t vote for our side? Rich or poor, no one likes to pay. Long ago, Adam

Smith pointed to the truth that we care more about smashing our own fingers than the deaths of a million in China. Like most, I struggle to escape my own point of view. Our kids are well-fed and sheltered. But when they seek an increase in allowance, we don’t claim a lack of affordability, tell them that we don’t love them enough, allege their needs to be without merit or wish they’d move out and die in a ditch. Instead, we wonder should our focus be on paying for education and security or benefits? Does our generosity add advantage or cause harm? And, can they learn to spend less, earn more, and be accountable for choices? They don’t like the oversight. But when folks not paying tax, push others to pay more, doesn’t it necessarily lead to tension? Shouldn’t it?

What you do speaks so loudly I can't hear what you are saying. - Henry Adams Current in Fishers

With festival season in full swing in our area and as a proud sponsor, allow us to commend to your attention the Carmel International Arts Festival, Saturday and Sunday, on Main Street and Range Line Road in the heart of the city. If you haven’t been, or if you did attend in years past and tired of visiting booths for sand art and finger-painting, we urge you to give it another try, because those days are fourth down and long gone. Not only has the organizing committee, under the direction of Rosemary Waters, secured a host of truly outstanding and varied artisans, and special attention has been paid to creating a tremendously diverse lineup of entertainment for two stages. The artistes come from parts local, national and international, and, as much as you always hear that “there will be something for everyone,” it very much will be the case this weekend. For more information, please visit www. www.carmelartsfestival.org. There is no fee for admission. ••• George Will of ABC News beat us to the punch, one of the vicissitudes of running a weekly newspaper operation. “If the Republican party cannot win in this environment, it has to get out of politics and find another business,” he said. Bingo! We’ve been talking exactly about that. We also believe that America doesn’t know the depth and breadth of Mitt Romney’s policy platforms, because he hasn’t really revealed them in full, at least not to our way of thinking. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama and his team are laughing their tails off. We believe the Republicans are looking to get a huge surge from the upcoming debates. It could be too little too late. We shall see.

Opinion

Current now offering internship opportunities Commentary by Dan Domsic This column may seem a bit scatter-brained, but I have a lot to say this week in a small amount of space and in a short amount of time. First, I would like to say that I’m impressed with the level of community involvement I saw at the first open forum last week for the town versus city referenda coming up in November. Based on what I witnessed at the event, I’m guessing that the town hall auditorium is going to get even more. I don’t think I can quantify how many people were there, but it was enough to keep things busy for most of the hour-and-ahalf long event. Thank you to the readers who approached me and chatted with me about stories. It’s nice to meet people that read Current, and it provides a reassuring feeling on the tough days before deadline. Second, I would like to commend Gabrielle Mark, 12, and her mother, Tracey Mark, for reaching out to me about upcoming events that raise awareness about breast cancer, as well as raise money for research via the American Cancer Society. If you managed to pass up her story, take a minute or two and flip back into the community section and read about her fun-

draising efforts for the Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk in October. It’s amazing to see someone so young want to make a difference. Gabrielle contacted me by email about the events after I missed one week’s coffee hours due to an accelerated deadline. And, finally, after a long summer of running around Fishers and getting to know a lot of people and covering a lot of stories, I’d like to extend an invitation to student journalists for internship opportunities. As we all know, some of the questions on this November’s ballot are complicated and will take heavy lifting, on top of everything else that’s going on in Fishers. If you’re a Hamilton Southeastern High School or Fishers High School senior or a college student looking to pick up some extra experience or college credit, email me at dan@youarecurrent. com for details. This is an opportunity to add legitimate clips to a portfolio and have a part in telling major stories.

Opinion I’ve had it up to here with politics VIEWS

Commentary by Danielle Wilson I am sick of politics! My relaxing Labor Day weekend was almost ruined by political talk and left me wondering whether I’ll survive the craziness long enough to actually vote in the November election. Saturday morning started off well enough. I sat on the couch for three consecutive hours eating cheese and obsessing over a grant proposal I’m writing – until my Republican husband returned from his Republican brother’s house all riled up and ready to argue. But I’m a Democrat and, more to the point, I hate discussing politics, particularly with a Wilson. They don’t listen very well, and seem to relish the fight, especially when they can gang up on the one liberal in the entire family, little ol' me. Bottom line: I avoid political discussions with in-laws when I can. Doo knows this about me, but couldn’t help himself. He pushed just the right buttons to draw me in to a debate. Before I realized what was happening, he was up in my grille about social welfare, education and defense spending, and I was yelling about his inability to acknowledge my right to a different opinion. By the end of our “chat” we were both emotionally spent, though I was proud that I had finally seen a political discussion with Doo through to the end (usually I run off crying when it gets

too heated). As it turns out, I can make a pretty good case for my party affiliation if I’m just given the chance. Go me! We had yet to recover when his Republican sister stopped by a bit later, so we steered the conversation towards my grant and enjoyed a solid hour of sampling apolitical gouda while Google-ing Cairo hotels. But then Doo’s parents decided to come over, fresh off the “2016” movie boat, and my day went to hell in a conservative handbag. I was forced to endure a lecture on the “unknown history” of Obama and, once again, get sucked into a political discussion. Enough! I. Don’t. Like. Talking. About. Politics. Never have, never will. It goes against my nonconfrontational nature and never seems to accomplish anything but raising everyone’s blood pressures. I understand we’re in the midst of a presidential election year and that the nation has seen better days, but does that mean that politics have to consume us? Must we spend every waking moment debating candidates and their platforms? There’s more to life than politics, people, like spending holiday weekends enjoying Romney-free cheddar. Peace out.

Wind Kissed

Local artist April Willy reflects on the Carmel International Arts Festival By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com For the last 15 years, the focal point of the Carmel International Arts Festival has been placed undeniably on the art and, beyond that, the art competition. Last year’s Best in Show winner April Willy, a painter and Carmel native, has been a long time participant in the festival. “(Winning Best in Show) was a great honor and achievement, especially considering the level of talent on display,” said Willy. “I never expect to win, but it is the icing on the cake after already getting such great exposure and good sales at the festival.” The judge of this year’s art competition will be Evan Lurie, gallery directory of Carmel’s Lurie Gallery. Having lived in New York and traveled extensively across Europe, Lurie has developed a wide network of artists from around the world while establishing one of Carmel’s most highly respected art galleries. Like most of the artists participating in the festival, Willy is truly a professional artist with her own full-time gallery in the Indiana Design Center. 16 | September 18, 2012

Willy “I have been painting professionally since attending art school in the ’80s, but made my living mostly through commercial illustration. I made the transition to working as a fine art painter around 10 years ago. I work full time doing commissions, showing in galleries and participating in regional shows,” said Willy. After years of attending all of the notable art festivals in the region, Willy decided to participate exclusively in the Carmel International Arts Festival. “I am genuinely loyal to Carmel, not just because it is my home town, but because of the overall quality of the event’s organization, pro-

Nesting

motion, volunteers and talent,” said Willy. With the festival set in the center of the Carmel Art & Design district, an area filled with art galleries and designed for foot traffic, it is not surprising that the festival has gotten progressively larger as the years have gone on. “The festival truly gets better every year, which is a direct result of the great promotion the city of Carmel has given to the Arts & Design District,” said Willy. “(The festival organizers) realized, a few years ago, the need to restrain the amount of artists they were jurying in the competition in order to keep the quality of art at a peak level,” said Willy. A number of Willy’s favorite artists such as Beth Forst, Randall Harden, Julie Houck, Carol Bell, Lee Ellis and Chang Kwa Brown will also be participating in this year’s competition. For more information regarding Willy and her art gallery, visit her Web site at aprilwilly. com.

The Carmel International Arts Festival will be held at Main Street and Range Line Road in the heart of Carmel’s Arts & Design District this Saturday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sunday (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Admission is free. For more information, visit carmelartsfestival.org.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Chorus Lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gets a standing ovation By Kerrie Miller â&#x20AC;˘ editorial@youarecurrent.com When I attend a live performance of any kind, I usually sit straight up in my seat so as to take it all in. On Saturday evening, while I was at the Tarkington Civic Theatre, I found myself sitting forward in my seat, chin in my hands and a permanent smile on my face as I was pulled into an incredible production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Chorus Line.â&#x20AC;? I felt as though I was the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant, judging the 17 dancers on stage and listening to their individual stories as each person stepped out of the line up for their monologue, often spoken through song. With only a black back drop and the occasional use of mirrors, there were no distractions, enabling the audience to focus on each of the characters. I very much enjoyed the ballet variations that accompanied the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the Ballet.â&#x20AC;? Natallee Cooney (Judy) executed a beautiful penchee with her partner as Laura Lockwood (Sheila), Betsy Norton (Bebe) and Julia Bonnett (Maggie) sang the song. Laughter filled the audience when Jordan Lugar (Kristine) and John Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien (Al) performed the husband and wife duet â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sing!â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong voice, along with Lugarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocent execution of her characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story, made me want their performance to continue for as long as possible. Anne Nicole Beck (Cassie) breezed through her dance to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Music and the Mirrorâ&#x20AC;? effortlessly to the very end as she finished with a striking pose.

'A Chorus Line' runs through Saturday The golden finale of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oneâ&#x20AC;? was a reminder that this energetic, two-hour performance was coming to an end. The singing and dancing from all of the characters was as strong at the end as it was in the beginning. As the curtain closed on the synchronized kick line, I watched the audience begin to stand and applaud, anxiously awaiting a curtain call. The lights in the Tarkington Theatre came on and the curtain remained down. Oh how I wished that curtain would lift so the performers could see the standing ovation, because each and every one of them deserved this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Chorus Lineâ&#x20AC;? runs through September 22 at The Tarkington Theater (3 Center Green, Carmel). Performances are Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 5 p.m. Tickets are available online at thecenterfortheperformingarts.org or by phone at 843-3800.

Cutting tobacco use for October could earn you $2,500 editorial@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs is encouraging residents to start training to win and sign up for the Quit Now Indiana contest. Reducing tobacco use saves lives, but pairing those efforts with healthy diet and exercise choices can make quitting tobacco for good that much easier. The 2012 Quit Now Indiana will once again challenge Hoosier smokers to quit tobacco for the month of October. According to the CDC, positive lifestyle changes increase the success rates of people trying to quit smoking. Good nutrition, increased consumption of water and exercise help with quitting tobacco. “Quitting tobacco often takes planning and preparation,” said State Health Commissioner Gregory Larkin, M.D. “Make a ‘training’ plan for the first few months to help you form new habits during those times when you would be using tobacco. By incorporating more exercise into your day, making healthier eating choices, and drinking plenty of water, you’ll stay occupied, while at the same time, creating a healthier overall lifestyle and mindset. We have plenty of Quit Coaches at the Indiana Tobacco Quitline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, who can provide training tips that meet your needs.” The statewide contest is designed to encour-

age Hoosiers using tobacco products to make an attempt to quit now by offering them a chance to win cash prizes up to $2,500 for remaining tobacco-free for 31 days. The promotional contest is part of a larger statewide campaign known as Quit Now Indiana, linking tobacco users to cessation resources. To be eligible to win, contestants must be 18 years or older, a legal resident of Indiana, a current tobacco user and stay tobacco free from Oct. 1-31. The registration period is open until Sept. 30. Contest winners will be drawn at random and will be tested to make sure they are tobacco-free to be eligible to claim a prize(s). The 2012 contest is supported by St. Vincent Health and MDWise Hoosier Alliance. Last year’s contest received more than 4,500 entries representing every county in Indiana. HCCAOD Director George Kristo said the contest comes at an important time, as there are fewer places to smoke with the new statewide smoke free air law in Indiana. Hoosier tobacco users can get free help in quitting from the Indiana Tobacco Quitline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Eligible Hoosiers can register locally at the Noblesville Public Library, 1 Library Plaza. Online registration is available at www.QuitNowIndiana.com and www.INShapeIndiana.org. For contest rules and more resources, visit www. QuitNowIndiana.com.

Going the distance

Commitment key to success Commentary by CJ McClanahan

A little more than nine years ago, I was sitting across the table from a quiet, unassuming young franchise broker named Meri who was helping me identify a business to buy. We had been at it for about 6 months and looked at more than a half dozen opportunities. Before I could start the conversation, Meri set down her pen, looked across the table and told me that it no longer made sense for us to meet. Startled, I ask why. I’ll never forget what Meri said next. She looked me right in the eyes and told me that I wasn’t committed to buying a business and until I made that commitment, it was a waste of everyone’s time to keep looking. My feelings were extremely hurt as I walked out the office that day. But guess what happened? Two months later, I took our savings (and an additional loan), quit my job and started a company from scratch. I was scared to death, but completely committed to succeed. Failure was not an option. Unfortunately, many people have the same attitude that I did before Meri called me out. If you’re struggling to hit your sales targets, or neglecting to hold employees accountable, you

might be one of these people. You probably think it’s because the market’s tough or everyone is lazy. But, guess what happens when you’re fully committed? You figure out how to convince your prospects to buy and attract the best employees. It’s tempting to look for new tactics when your current efforts aren’t getting you the results you want. I see it all the time. For example, a sales manager once asked me to recommend a new strategy to a team of reps who weren’t making their prospecting calls. I asked if he thought it was a good idea to introduce something new to a group that wasn’t committed enough to do the basics. Before you look for a quick fix in a magazine, online seminar or weekend workshop, first ask yourself if you are truly committed or just wasting your time. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Who gets child custody in divorce?

Keep the stroke’s scale when enlarging or shrinking.

Attorney Lanae Harden offers information on what the courts in Indiana look for when determining child custody in a divorce. The best interest of the child is the standard by which any order of child custody is determined. If the parties agree, the court will order joint custody. Even if only one parent wants joint custody, the court may award it if the court thinks it would be in the child’s best interest. The court can consider many factors, including: • the wishes of the parents and whether they have agreed to joint custody; • the mental and physical health of all parties; • whether the persons are willing and able to communicate and cooperate in advancing the child’s welfare; • the wishes of the child (with more weight given to the child’s wishes if the child is at least 14 years old); • geographical proximity of the parents’ homes; and • the physical and emotional environment in each home. By definition, legal custody is the decision making control over a child. The legal custodian(s) have control in decisions of healthcare, religion, and education. The parties can agree to any other type of decision making control. Some examples of other types of decision making control in the child's life include the participation in extracurricular activities, dating age, summer camps, age for getting a job, or methods of discipline for the child. Physical custody is simply where the child lives or spends his or her time. The child may have a primary physical custodian, which is just where the child lives most of the time. Physical custody may be shared between parents who do not live together through parenting time. Indiana has created minimum parenting time guidelines, but they are only a starting point. Once again, the parties may agree to whatever parenting time schedules work best for them and their children. Joint custody does NOT mean each parent will have the child one half of the time. The court can order joint legal custody, and then decide how much time each parent will have the child. If you have a question about child custody or divorce, contact Harden Jackson Law at 317.569.0770 or www.HardenJacksonLaw.com. The above is for informational purposes only should not be considered legal advice. Each case is unique and you should consult an attorney for advice regarding your particular situation.

Heartland Spa

Commentary by Tracy Line One of the newest travel trends is a vacation with a theme or event tied in. Major cruise lines offer concerts, wine tastings and the chance to hobnob with celebrity chefs almost regularly now. Culinary and adventure trips are popping up everywhere, and traveling to volunteer is so popular it’s gained a moniker: voluntourism. I don’t normally get so excited about such trips. However, given the right combination, even I can be persuaded. And so it is that I am headed to the Heartland Spa in January for their Jane Austen weekend. I mean really, a relaxing massage, delicious cuisine and stimulating book discussions: I’m all in! The Heartland is an all-inclusive spa located about two hours northwest of Noblesville, in Gilman, IL. Stays include lodging, all meals/ snacks, a spa treatment (additional treatments for purchase), fitness classes and wellness discussions. Guests enjoy use of the salon, spa and fitness center with indoor pool, whirlpool and sauna. The idea for the weekend came from the

Heartland’s Reenie Kietzman. “I was walking around and noticed several of our guests were curled up on a sofa reading a book,” says Kietzman, “I finally asked one guest if she’d be interested in a book-themed weekend, she was so enthusiastic we decided to try it.” Kietzman notes that reading is a great stress reducer, and thus an important part of health. While guests are free to simply enjoy the spa, book lovers can unite to celebrate Austen through book discussions, an Austen movie-marathon and much more. In addition, Noblesville’s own Jo Mader and her husband are guest speakers for the weekend. Mader is a previous board member and current member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Being able to relax, learn about Austen and support a local speaker: that’s a marketing ploy I’ll take anytime. Tracy Line is a travel writer and agent, and the owner of Noblesville Travel.

Spirituality

Doubt, dilemma, and the power of prayer Commentary by Mike Colaw Years ago I lived fairly close to a crazy charismatic Christian, have you ever met one? This guy would sometimes come by and tell me about his “prophecies” from God. At first it was kind of interesting to listen to, but it didn’t take long before it was just kind of weird. I wasn’t sure if he was hearing from God or having psychotic episodes. It didn’t take long before I just started avoiding him. If I felt awkward around this guy as a Christian, I can’t imagine how people who don’t believe in God feel. Since then, I have ran into many more people with strong charismatic tendencies. Most of them I have really struggled with. I feel like they worship an experience, even manifest their own experiences sometimes, rather than explore the vast riches of ancient truth. Church from the outside looking in can appear to be a bunch of people drumming up emotions rather than seeking truth. I may have overreacted--like a parent who was abused and now refuses to discipline their kids at all, or someone who has been through a divorce now proclaiming that all of the opposite sex is evil, or someone who can’t find a job after college now proclaiming that education is worthless. I found myself in hot pursuit of God, passionately searching for purpose and truth, but with a bit of a cold shoulder to the sup-

posed miraculous. Two authors changed that. Mark Batterson who wrote “The Circle Maker” and books by Wayne Cordeiro. These are two charismatic people who seem to have their heads on fairly straight. I never doubted that God could do something; I just figured that he probably wouldn’t. I mean that is what usually happens, right?! We pray and God changes US, not the storm we are in. Something is happening in my heart. As a pastor, after reading these books and, most importantly, the Bible, I want to pray for the extraordinary like the great leaders before us have done, pray that God would intervene, heal, and truly be a part of our lives today! What if your faith in prayer moved from God could do it, to God WILL do it? What if we as a people began to really pray and believe that God could do the miraculous in our community and church? What if churches moved from being libraries of ancient literature alone, to places where an all-powerful God resided? Just what if you started to really believe?! “Prayers are like seeds; it feels like they disappear for a season but eventually life is born.” - Mark Batterson Find some time and read Luke 18:1-8.

Grammar Guy

Ten items or fewer

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: I really enjoyed your article about the differences between “effect” and “affect.” I wonder if sometime you could also write an article about the usages of “few” and “less.” No one seems to know there are situations where one should use “few.” Even news anchors botch this usage. – Rita Fugit, Carmel Answer: Fewer people do seem to be using the word “few” these days. Luckily, I had a high school English teacher who was a stickler for the rule, so I have an answer for you. As in my first sentence above, “few” or “fewer” should be used when describing plural nouns that are discretely quantifiable. These are also called count nouns, which, to put it simply, means you can easily count them. A simple test is to put a number in front of the noun you are looking to modify. If you can say “seven people,” “or 25 people” or “1 million people,” and the phrase makes sense, then you have a count noun and should use “fewer.” “Less” comes into play for mass nouns – which, if you read a lot of Slylock Fox like I did when I was young, you may have already deduced are nouns that are not easily countable. These are going to be more abstract subjects:

crime, pollution, beauty, etc. So, there may be less crime today than in past decades, but there are fewer criminals. There are quirks to the rule, of course. Some nouns – I don’t have a list for you, sorry – have both a mass and count form. Take a word like “fear.” If you go sky diving to conquer a fear of heights, you might have one fewer fear than you did before. If you turned on a flashlight in a dark room, however, you would be less fearful. In the first example, “fear” serves as a count noun because it is specific and quantifiable – the fear of heights, closed spaces, broccoli, whatever. In the second example, “fear” is a mass noun because it is used more abstractly. You can have seven distinct fears, but you don’t feel seven distinct fears – you just feel fear. One final item of note before I let you go: Throw out the last 350 or so words when it comes to time, distance and money. We use “less” for these. You have less than $50. You run a mile in less than 10 minutes. Et cetera. Jordan Fischer is an editor and investigative reporter for Current Publishing.

INSIDE & OUT

Outdoors

Transforming your backyard into a private escape Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL BACK YARD: This home is located in the Bridlebourne subdivision on the west side of Carmel and was built in 1996. The current owners have lived in it since Sept 2009 and were not happy with the simple deck and the underutilized back yard space. “The backyard had no character and the space was wide open. Also, we have quite a lot of storage under the deck but it was not very accessible. We wanted a second set of stairs so we could use that space better.” REASONS FOR UPGRADING DECK: The owners had already remodeled most of the interior. “After completing the interior, we felt we should have an equally upgraded exterior as well. The layout was dated, and we wanted it to flow with the style of the inside of the house. Also, we wanted a hot tub, and we knew we would have to remodel the deck to accommodate it.” DECK RAILING DETAILS: The expanded deck was completely reframed to include more seating and space for the new hot tub. The existing deck boards were replaced with Trex Transcend deck boards with hidden fasteners. The new railing is Trex handrail with powder coated aluminum belly balusters.

Before STAMPED CONCRETE SEATING AREA: The lower patio area includes a stamped concrete patio seating area surrounded by concrete paver seating walls and planter boxes. The new outdoor fireplace includes a 36-inch wide firebox and twin wood storage fireboxes covered with matching brick veneer and limestone caps and accents. FAVORITE FEATURES: “We spend a lot of time on the deck and love using the hot tub. We will use the lower patio and fireplace level more

After in the fall. My wife loves her tiered, raised garden beds. She has had fun planting and harvesting this year. It has been a while since she had a garden, and there is nothing like homegrown vegetables.”
