Fishers participates in service projects in central Indiana By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

Volunteers work the assembly line.

New Hope Presbyterian Church hosted its first “Day of Caring” Sept. 23. According to congregation member Mark Thacker, approximately 400 people came and participated in the service event that took place all over central Indiana. “Ultimately, it’s (the major goal) spreading God’s word would be first, but we’re doing that through community outreach,” Thacker said. Volunteers helped paint at Fishers Elementary, constructed 13,000 food packages for “humanitarian food-aid organization” Kids Against Hunger, made Kairos placemats as outreach for prison ministry , volunteered with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and spent time at Chaucie’s Place. Projects took place in Anderson, Muncie, Carmel, Noblesville, Indianapolis and, of course, Fishers. “It’s been great to be able to give back to the community,” Mary Baxter, a project team leader, said. “Instead of going to church, we’re out in the areas doing something for somebody else. It’s great.” “The church isn’t this physical building, Thacker said, “but the church is wherever we go, so reaching out to the community and supporting those in need is very important” According to the church’s Web site, the congregation is more than 650 members strong and has occupied their current building in Fishers since 1997. New Hope Presbyterian Church is at 12550 Brooks School Rd. For more information on the church, visit NewHopeFishers.org.

Diversion

Fishers Renaissance Faire returns to Saxony this weekend By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Fishers residents have the opportunity to journey to a far away land this weekend, and they only need to visit Saxony to do it. The eight annual Fishers Renaissance Faire occupies Saxony Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Renaissance Faire chairman Adam Fivush said 150 cast members will bring the Faire’s town, Billerica, to life. He said the event drew a crowd of 11,000 people last year. This year the residents of Billerica are celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, and after the town’s mayor stepped down, its people and politicians are preparing for a big municipal election that visitors can vote in. In other words, prepare for today’s national political parties to be lampooned. The winner is announced on election day. In addition to the Faire’s themes, two contestants and the host of History Channel’s Full Metal Jousting are competing at the lists.

Knights of Valour Joust Troupe ◆ Champion’s Arena – 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. • The Rogue Blades (comedic sword-fighting) ◆ Chequers Stage – 11:15 a.m., 2:45 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. • Ric Roc Zoo (juggling, physical comedy, etc.) ◆ Chequers Stage – 10:30 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. • Rodney the Elder (magician) ◆ Canterbury Commons – 11:15 a.m., 1:15 p.m., 3:15 p.m. and 5 p.m. • Molotov the Gypsy (magic, juggling, fire-eating, etc.) ◆ High Street Stage – 11 a.m., 1:15 p.m., 2:45 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. • The Queen’s Madrigal Choir ◆ Canterbury Common – 10:30 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. • Blue Boar Inn (fisticuffs and fights) ◆ Next to the Gaol – 11 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. ◆ Publik Gaol (Executioner for the day tryouts, civil disputes) • 11:45 a.m., 2:15 p.m. and “The Sheriff’s Court” all day

Sister Cities Vice President Doug Whisman said the host of the show and participant this weekend, got the show because he’s considered the best in the country. “No matter what you’re interested in there’s something there for you,” Fivush said. Other acts occupy the village, including comedic shows, staged combat, real combat, a puppet show for kids and more. Fivush said it takes 50 to 100 general volunteers to make the Renaissance Faire happen, in addition to the 150 “cast members,” who he said put in the biggest time commitment. Costumes are made, and dress rehearsals are held leading up to this weekend. The Fishers Renaissance Faire celebrates the relationship to sister city Billericay, England,

and serves as a fundraiser for the Sister Cities Association of Fishers. Both Whisman and Fivush said it’s a lot of entertainment for an affordable price. After purchasing the ticket the only cost for patrons is if they choose to purchase food or shop. Fivush said the Fishers Renaissance Faire is much more cost-effective than other Renaissance faires in other areas. “We’re not in it for the money, per se,” he said. A ticket for ages 13 and up is $10, ages 12 to 5 is $5, and kids 4 and under get in free. For more information, visit fishersrenfaire.com.

Fishers Fire and Emergency Services recognized on state level, teams up with IU Health Saxony By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com For the second year in a row, Fishers Fire and Emergency Services was recognized as the Advanced Life Support Provider of the Year in the state of Indiana. The award was presented at the Indiana Emergency Response Conference on Sept. 15. Advanced life support is the level of care paramedics respond with at emergencies. What makes paramedics different than emergency medical technicians is the ability to start IV’s, administer medicines, use cardiac monitors, diffibulators and more, while an EMT is limited to certain practices. Emergency Services Division Chief Steve Davison said the award is owed to the culmination of the department’s level of provided service, its constant search to increase it and the willingness to partner with other entities in the community to offer Fishers a higher level of service. FFD is currently in the process of partnering with IU Health Saxony with the goal being to do just that. According to Davison, living quarters and a new ambulance garage are in construction at the hospital. IU Health Saxony will cover the tab for the new living space and the ambulance, a Fishers paramedic and emergency medical technician will staff it all year, resulting in greater service for people in Saxony. “The most important part is that we better treat the patients in the Fishers area,” IU Health North President and CEO Jon Goble said. Goble said response times and coordination will improve through the partnership. The cooperative relationship between the town and IU Health Saxony begins in December, once construction is completed. Davison said every firefighter in FFD is a certified EMT and the department typically provides a paramedic’s service on response vehicles, meaning a paramedic stations on fire trucks or an ambulance responds to emergency situations with them. Four paramedics were recently hired, bringing the town’s numbers up to 33 with another two more to be hired in October. “To meet the ever changing challenges of providing pre-hospital critical care in a timely and cost effective manner, we must continuously improve,” Fishers Fire and Emergency Services Chief Steve Orusa said in a press release. “This partnership will make a difference in our life-saving capability and may become a best practice.”

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com A new alumni association for Fishers High School and Hamilton Southeastern High School graduates debuted last week during each school’s homecoming. “We want the connectedness, we want to tell the stories,” HSE Schools Foundation board member Tim Rogers said, “and we want to provide for those who are coming out right now to create that legacy within the community.” Past HSE school board member and liason to the HSE Schools Foundation Jeff Sturgis started planning the new association last year, and the Delucia project comes to fruition under foundation board members Rogers and David Ayars and school board members John Delucia and Diane Eaton, among others. The new group aims to help graduates from the town’s two high schools, as well as the first Fishers High School, network, tell the stories of alumni who went on to do big things or had a different experience in the school system and build a legacy for students. According to Delucia and Rogers, alumni are already signing up and offers to establish scholarships for the town’s students have been extended. Delucia said the Alumni Association will legally stand on its own as an independent not-for-profit but will work closely with the foundation and board. “The concept here is that you have two great schools, one awesome community,” Rogers said. “While we have the traditions of each high school, when they graduate we want to create an alumni association that speaks to the totality of the community.” While preparing to help build a local chapter of the association, Delucia and Rogers said the element of fun, as well as getting the newest generation of FHS and HSE graduates involved in the group with events like high school visits. The local chapter will have its own officers and bylaws to follow. Different generations have already signed on with the alumni association, including those from the 1970s.

Plain talk/Around town

Aha moments of childhood Commentary by Susan Bryant

Once in a while, as parents we are witness to a moment when our child comes to a new realization about the world - it seems we can literally see the light bulb go on over his head. He has put two and two together and sees something with a clarity he didn’t have before. Being a child, his world is kidcentric and naturally assumes all things revolve around him. When he suddenly views his universe from a different perspective, his response can range from a bemused “huh!” to utter shock. Here are a few examples. Adults actually have lives outside of their relation to you. Remember the first time you saw your teacher at the grocery store or the mall? What was she doing outside of the class room? She was supposed to remain in school in some kind of stasis until we returned there for us to give her purpose again. I think kids often have the same view of parents. What a shock to learn that your mom and dad had identities before having children. They lived different places, had different jobs and even dated different people! Don’t be surprised if your kids look at you a little suspiciously after this revelation. Mom is the power broker After my kids would get home from a

play date at a new friend’s house, I would always ask, “Did you have a good time?” to which their usual response was, “We had a blast!” Then I would ask, “Did the mom like you?” This aspect of the visit usually didn’t cross their mind. In reality, getting invited back was a function of how much the parent liked them, not how great a time they had. I personally have had kids over who probably went home raving about the awesome day they had at my house that I never intended to see then cross my front door again. So here’s the take away. Be nice to the mom. Engage in a little conversation. Say please, thank you and help clean up. Grasping who the real decision maker is in a situation can be a real eye-opener. This is how you came to be A mom and dad have to have sex in order to have a child. (Wait for it.) You are a child. The reaction to this aha moment is usually shock, horror and a profound “eww.” For a real kicker, watch your kid’s reaction when they realize what the existence of their siblings means.

Cover Story

Understanding the chain of events that culminate in November’s referenda By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com On Nov. 7, residents of the Town of Fishers and Fall Creek Township may wake up to a voted-in new form of government. The road to a vote on governance spans more than a decade and has its share of twists and turns. Understand the chain of events leading up to the vote on Nov. 6 with the accompanying timeline. Current in Fishers gathered the information from various sources, but primarily from the Indiana Supreme Court opinion provided by Chief Justice Randall Shepard of the case Michael R. Kole, Joseph L. Weingarten and Glenn J. Brown, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Scott Faultless, Daniel Henke, Eileen Pritchard, Stuart Easley, David George, Arthur Levine, individually and in their official capacity as the Town Council of Fishers, Ind. and Fall Creek Township, which renders the vote on reorganization an option this fall. As of press tiem, Current still was researching Delaware Township's role.

1998

A referendum to become a second-class city failed.

2006

The Government Modernization Act of 2006 is adopted. Shepard’s opinion in the March 8, 2012, case characterizes the Government Modernization Act of 2006 as a code that “liberalized the framework within which local governments may reorganize themselves.”

2007

According to longstanding City Yes political action committee member Greg Purvis, questions are raised about the structure of town government while he ran for Fishers Purvis Town Council. City Yes has financial records that date to January 2009, found through a Hamilton County database search.

April 2009 According to Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness and Director of Public Relations Maura Leon-Barber, a city-town study commitFadness tee is held to conduct research on a shift to a second-class city.

Allman

Cox

July 2011 Newly elected Fall Creek Township Board members Doug Allman and future Fishers Town councilor Renee Cox file with the Hamilton County Recorder’s Office to rescind the township’s participation in the referendum.

May 3, 2010 A petition was filed after garnering 1,700 signatures from voters in Fishers asking for a referendum deciding if the town would convert to a second class city, according to Shepard’s opinion.

July/August 2012

May 5, 2010 The Fishers Town Council passed a resolution that began the path to reorganization, according to Shepard’s opinion. The resolution made it possible to start a commission with a mission to “study the possibility of merging the two entities (Fall Creek Township and Fishers) into a reorganized city.”

Sept. 30, 2010 The plaintiffs in the 2012 Indiana Supreme Court case filed a suit with the Hamilton Superior Court in an effort to “compel” the council to put the referendum on the docket, according to Shepard’s opinion in the 2012 Supreme Court case.

Nov. 11, 2010 A plan to reorganize the Town of Fishers and Fall Creek Township was approved by the commission.

Dec. 20, 2010 The Fishers Town Council and Fall Creek Township adopted the reorganization plan and set the referendum for this November.

Citizens to Reorganize Fishers is founded. Fishers resident Wayne M. Crane becomes the group’s chairman.

Dec. 30, 2010 The plaintiffs who originally filed suit to compel the Fishers Town Council dismissed the suit and refiled with the U.S. District Court by their own accord, Shepard said in the opinion.

Feb. 21, 2011 According to Shepard’s opinion, the Fishers Town Council “acknowledged” the petition by passing a resolution and setting the referendum for this year’s general election, running side-by-side the vote on the reorganization plan.

March 8, 2012 The Indiana Supreme Court filed the opinion solidifying the town’s ability to reorganize and implement a system that involves electing the city council at large and an appointed mayor.

Current in Fishers

Mid-August 2012 The Fall Creek Township Board passed a resolution requesting the Hamilton County Election Board to hold a public hearing on the ability to rescind the reorganization question and the structure of the voting blocks.

Aug. 30, 2012 The Hamilton County Election Board held the requested hearing. It established the voting blocs as all of Fall Creek Township plus Fishers residents and Delaware Township residents in Fishers.

September 2012 The Town of Fishers begins its Future of Fishers information campaign.

Nov. 6, 2012 The questions on reorganization appear on ballots for eligible voters. October 2, 2012 | 11

VIEWS

Opinion Some key questions for President Obama

War on Walley World It is our position that the war waged on super giant retailer Walmart, by Zionsville preservationists may be a lingering battle. Recently, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. filed revised plans to build a smaller, more attractive store along Michigan Road, north of 106th Street on the Hamilton-Boone county line. The Zionsville Plan Commission is set to consider the proposal at its Oct. 15 meeting. However, aspiring Walmart Greeters, don’t put on your bright red vests just yet.

The fight has been going on for six years now and has spawned two lawsuits, one by Walmart claiming that there is no valid reason a store should not be built in the area. While Zionsville is not immune to mega retailers with a host already doing business in the area, Village preservationists and local retailers have been dragging their feet for good reason. Perhaps the aberration is Walmart’s reputation for being a “small town killer,” putting smaller retailers out of business by using bulk purchasing to offer low prices on its goods and services. Regardless of which side wins the war, here’s hoping that the Village of Zionsville remains a peaceful respite from generic strip malls and the mega-store grind. Let originality reign.

In visiting a new tailor recently to have a button repaired on a suit, the no doubt well-intentioned seamstress suggested ever-sopolitely that they offered a service that would narrow lapels and generally bring a “quality suit back into fashion.” It was one of those moments where one is both complimented and insulted. She has, albeit in a backhanded way, suggested that there must have been some good taste and desire for superior fabric and construction in me – even though it was hard to see behind lapels that one could only imagine must be reminiscent of Dumbo’s ears. A suspicious nature might lead one to conclude that the purveyor was simply looking to enhance the revenue from a modest repair to a complex alteration. But after a look in the ubiquitous mirrors lining the walls of the establishment, it was clear, even to an aging eye, that she was more sympathetic than rapacious. So after agreeing to the new cut, delivery

and some small talk, I returned to my day reminded that even as time marches on, the details of our lives – once finely honed and completely intentional – can begin to say something entirely different about us. From one perspective, there is a measure of success in that the suit still fits, that it was of such quality as to last for a span measured in decades and that the value based per wearing had exceeded all expectations. Yet from another’s take, it appeared tired, at best, quaint. The tailoring, while classic, seemed dated and nostalgic. Did it reflect the attitude of its wearer? Like so many passing moments if we stop to consider them fully, we realize that the meaning may be greater than imagined. Is it time to look at the cut of our lives and perhaps adjust a little?

“My expectation is that if you want to be president, you have to work for everyone, not just for some.” – President Barack Obama, during taping of “The Late Show” with David Letterman. That comment by the commander in chief came in response to Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s comments at a private fundraiser. We found the president’s comments quite interesting, if not begging of certain questions. Such as: • Was the president thinking of everyone when he bailed out General Motors to save union jobs (one of his most important sources of financial support) while crushing bond holders, which, in effect, broke American bankruptcy laws? • Was he thinking of everyone when he granted all the ObamaCare waivers to, among others, union members? (For a complete list of those abdications, go to: www.freerepublic.com/ focus/f-chat/2900475/posts.) In case you’re counting, the list now is up to 1,231 companies, give or take. According the Health and Human Services Dept., ObamaCare waivers excuse about 4 million people. • Was he thinking of all entrepreneurs when he gave more than half a billion dollars of taxpayer money to Solyndra? Remember Solyndra, the solar-panel company? When government picks winners and losers, we know for whom the loser’s bell tolls. It’s we taxpayers. The president was just lucky that the “journalist” involved in this exchange was David Letterman. But, let’s face it: Would the questioning have been any tougher had Andrea Mitchell of NBC had been the interviewer? ••• As Columbus Day is Monday, next week’s Current will be delivered to you this Saturday.

Getting a chance to enjoy the little things Commentary by Dan Domsic At the major risk of sounding trite, it really is the little things that matter. About a week or two ago, I packed up my bags, threw them in my Chevy and headed north. It was time to go home and recharge my batteries, so to speak. It was a battle getting out of Indianapolis on a Friday afternoon, and anyone who is familiar with I-65 will tell you, it wasn’t going to get much better. The interstate is nothing but the following: irritating drivers (I was probably one of them, let’s be honest), nothing to look at until after Lafayette when sparse farm land transforms into sparse farm land covered by windmills and two-and-a-half hours to sit and ponder. Until entering Lake County – the so-called “Region.” I joke that it’s the only place in Indiana that I can get shot today, die tomorrow and still vote in November’s election. But it's home. And, for the record, relatively safe in my neck of the woods. And with being home, came those little things. Mom and Dad were around, of course, and I managed to see both of the other Domsic children, Kristen and Darla. I can’t say I’m surprised that at least two of the three of us converged on the Domsic household for dinner

Photoshop for

that night. Looking around, and thinking about it, the little stuff like getting to share a meal with family again and getting a chance to see my dad’s completed handiwork on our newly renovated back patio made the almost-three-hour-long, gas-guzzling trip up north worth it alone. I wasn’t completely away from Fishers, though. I sat in my favorite chair in my parents’ living room with two highlighters, a steady supply of Coca Cola and the print out of the most frequently asked questions the Town of Fishers receives about the big vote in November. It took all afternoon, but it didn’t feel like a chore sitting in the space that I studied in for so many AP tests, finals and other things that seemed so stressful while growing up. Keeping those little things in mind and being able to enjoy them makes the heaviest task quite a bit lighter. As always, mosey over to Hearthstone Coffee House and Pub on Tuesdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. if you’d like to chat with me. The local café is just west of the municipal circle.

It’s easy to look perfect in a magazine.

Life-changing objects I've discovered Commentary by Danielle Wilson This has been a great year for me. Why? Three discoveries that have quite literally changed my life. And because I am a giving person, I’ll now share them with you, my fine friends. Sperry Topsiders Yes, they are a bit expensive ($70) and yes, they can make already big feet look gi-normous (think clown shoes), but God bless them, these shoes will change your life. When my dogs hurt, I get cranky, see, and when I get cranky, ain’t nobody happy. But I often want something a little dressier than my black and pink Sauconys. Enter the Sperry Intrepid. These leather and mesh topsiders are like baby kisses for your feet, with just enough support to make crisscrossing Kings Island or hiking a shale mountain perfectly enjoyable. Plus, they’re stylish. You’ll look like you just stepped off your yacht, even in Indiana. Get them wet, leave them on a beach, accidentally run over them in your van . . . no problem! They’ll beg for more and look good doing it. Simply amazing footwear. Wireless Headphones Admittedly, I have control issues, particularly when it comes to bedtime. I demand complete darkness, silence except for my sound machine, and a room temperature that would make polar bears shiver. My husband, Doo, as cruel Fate would have it, must watch television to fall asleep, breaking two of my carefully constructed sleep “requirements.” I can combat the light by wearing a www.currentinfishers.com

mask and burrowing under two pillows but can never completely drown out the sound. I can’t tell you how many fights this has caused. Until . . . wireless headphones! They have changed my life! Now Doo can watch whatever he wants for however long, and I can’t hear a stinking thing. I get to sleep and he gets to veg. It’s a win-win, and for $37, far cheaper than counseling. The Effect of ADHD in the Marriage Another miracle available for purchase and cheaper than a shrink is this book. Even if you or your spouse does not have ADHD, it will change your life. “The Effect of ADHD” is basically an inside look at how opposite personalities can create strong relationships but can also cause tons of problems. When my husband and I read through it this summer, we kept saying “That’s us!” or “That sounds exactly like your brother!” You will relate to almost every scenario and situation presented, if not in your own household, in those of your friends and family. And though the author doesn’t give answers, she offers techniques for resolving differences effectively and for celebrating even the most annoying habits (watching television in bed). Again, you’re welcome. Peace out.

Stonycreek Farm celebrates 40th Pumpkin Harvest Festival By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com What began as a small pumpkin patch in 1972 has grown into a full-service nursery and landscaping business. Harvest season is now celebrated each year on the 1860’s Stonycreek Farm, 11366 Ind. 38 East, Noblesville. This year marks the 40th Annual Stonycreek Farm Pumpkin Harvest Festival which runs now to Oct. 31. “We now have third generation families picking their own pumpkins. We take great pride in seeing children find their first pumpkin in our fields,” says Loren Schmierer, owner of Stonycreek Farm. The 40th anniversary marks a first in Stonycreek history. Because of this summer’s drought, Stonycreek Farm has germinated pumpkins in greenhouses in preparation for the annual event. The seedlings were then planted in the field and maintained with a water truck. Thanks to a proactive germination program, the farm hopes to yield 50,000 pumpkins despite extreme drought conditions. Pumpkins aren’t the only attraction at the festival. Once again, the zip line is expected to be a crowd pleaser. The cost is $15 per person for anyone age 10 and up who weighs between 90 pounds and 250 pounds. In honor of the anniversary, those turning 40 years old during the month of September or October get a free zip line ride (with valid ID). The zip line sails across the Christmas tree field, over a pond and gives riders a spectacular view of the hayride wagons heading out to the field. The ride is approximately 400 feet long and is 40 feet high in some places. The festival includes entertainment for “kids” ages 8-80. Have you ever wondered what a grain grinder looks like? A new educational program will feature antique farm equipment where visitors can learn about the use of various vintage farm equipment. Other highlights include hayrides to the pumpkin patch, a haunted house, the gourd sling shot, corn cob cannon, Kiddiepillar (inflatable), candle making, farm animals, and more. Kids can take pony rides and talk with a blacksmith, as well as jump in a giant straw mound and play at the playground. Most activi14 | October 2, 2012

Review

‘All that jazz’ and more at Beef & Boards Commentary by Hope Baugh “Chicago” is perhaps a steamier show than Beef and Boards audiences are used to. The costumes are skimpier, the language more raw. However, the quality of dancing and singing is some of the best I’ve ever experienced there. And it is, after all, a show about murderesses fighting for the media spotlight during Prohibition. Deb Wims plays Roxie Hart, a bored housewife who kills her unfaithful lover in a jealous rage. Marisa Rivera plays Velma Kelly, a glamorous burlesque performer who catches her boyfriend in bed with her co-star sister and kills them both. Roxie and Velma meet in prison, where they fight over handsome, hot shot lawyer Billy Flynn (Curt Dale Clark.) He sings that all he “cares about is love” but really all he cares about is his $5,000 fee. If all this sounds tawdry, it is. You don’t go to this show to find role models. It is also sexy and scandalous. I grinned the whole time, though, because this show both titillates and pokes fun at titillation. I also grinned because even the “smaller” performances are treats. Alene Robertson as corrupt prison matron Momma Morton, M. J. Austin as flighty reporter Mary Sunshine, and Eddie Curry as cellophane husband Amos Hart, all make their famous roles their own in delightful ways. The ensemble of nine back-up singers-

dancers is solidly attractive and talented, too. And those skimpy costumes I mentioned earlier? Gorgeous. (Designed by Kurt Alger.) I wouldn’t take children to this show but it is definitely a swell night out for adults who are looking for a bit of high quality sizzle “and all that jazz.” “Chicago” continues at Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre through Sunday.

Don't fear your sweet tooth

Almost everyone I know has a sweet tooth, but these same people want to eat a more healthy diet. For some people, the scariest part of starting off on a new, healthier way of eating is the idea of giving up their favorite sweet treats -- forever! So let’s rethink the idea that all candy is bad for you. Jean Lawrence writes on MedecineNet.com, “Don’t despair. Sweets can be part of a healthy, lifelong eating pattern. But for the least harm and -- don’t forget this -- the fullest enjoyment, they should be eaten in moderation. That means in small amounts or only a couple of times a week”. Since tailgating for football is generally only once a week, we can eat candy at our tailgate party. Now here’s even better news for chocolate lovers, Everyday Health’s Stephanie Sy tells us that a recent study finds that dark chocolate is actually good for your heart. So don’t be afraid to make everyone happy by serving them candy. Here’s a great candy treat for your next tailgate party, even if you aren’t from Ohio. Buckeyes

Wellness Younger adults seeking new answers for joint pain

HEALTH

Commentary by R. Michael Meneghini, MD Hip and knee replacement surgery has traditionally been associated with older adults – those beyond age 65. Today, however, people in their 50s and even 40s are considering joint replacement surgery to relieve pain so they can stay active, continue their favorite activities and maintain their quality of life. To serve this emerging younger population, extensive research is ongoing to design cuttingedge orthopedic implants that are durable, have improved bearing services and that will minimize risks and side effects. On the surgical side, techniques such as navigation technology, which monitors the position and alignment of the implant in relation to the patient’s anatomy, achieve improved mobility and range of motion for patients. Today, some 90 percent of knee replacements are expected to last 20 years or more. And, although hip and knee replacements are arguably two of the most successful surgeries in medicine, they are still invasive procedures accompanied by risks. For people of all ages, the best ways to prevent degenerative joint disease and the need for joint replacement surgery is to stay physically fit and to maintain a healthy weight. Excessive weight puts undue pressure on the joints,

causing degeneration. However, if joint pain and discomfort are already an issue, seek out a reputable orthopedic surgeon and schedule a consultation. (I discourage patients from using the internet as a resource, as it contains a lot of inaccurate and misleading information. Consult with a qualified and experienced orthopedic specialist instead.) After taking a complete medical history, the surgeon will perform an exam and order x-rays of the affected joints for evaluation. The x-rays will show the extent of cartilage loss and help determine whether joint replacement surgery is an immediate remedy or an option that should be considered down the road. The surgeon will also discuss how the joint pain impacts quality of life. In nearly all cases, orthopedic specialists will try non-operative treatments first – medication, injections and/or physical therapy. When warranted, hip and knee replacement surgery helps patients return to the activities and lifestyles they enjoy.

Killing flies and taking names Commentary by David Cain

I find flies especially irritating. Like a friendly dog that wants to explore you entirely, they are the great intruder of personal space. Unlike the friendly dog however, the fly gets into all kinds of unsavory places and in my mind the fly is indelibly linked to and a symbol of all things dirty. Only the roach comes to mind as nastier than the fly, an overreaction I’m sure. As summer draws to a close, my outdoor activities have increased allowing the fly to take his rightful seat at the throne as king of irritations. Again, I completely understand that I’m on the verge of being considered a germ freak, but the fly is an irritating fellow. You can swat and swipe at them and they still find a way to land on your food or the rim of your drink again and again. Efforts to ignore them go unfulfilled. And, even if you don’t share my opinion of their nastiness, most would agree they are irritating. The proof, most people kill them. For me, the fly also represents a business analogy. This seemingly inconsequential little guy, so tiny you’d like to ignore him, can spoil a party. Consider a cookout. Lots of people, drinks, fun,

kids running about, laughter and smiles. There he sits, the fly with a dozen buddies crawling all over the food and drinks while people talk. You shoo him. He lands on someone’s forehead. You shoo him again, he moves to your arm then to your drink then to your plate. The fly is a relentless, determined spoiler. He always wants to disrupt your party, mildly irritate people, and he’s only interested in himself. Little things can ruin the entire experience. It takes a lot of work to prevent the little irritations in the daily experience of your customers, too. It’s a lot of work to get rid of the flies in your business. I am consistently on the lookout for flies. I’m the flyswatter or at least the fly spotter. Always working to prevent having flies, spot them quickly when they enter the scene, and immediately escort them out of our business party. After all, too many flies are a signal that something must be rotten.

Move the needle

What do your customers expect? Commentary by CJ McClanahan As I write this column, I am experiencing a significant amount of frustration with American Airlines. My wife and I are coming back from a 4 day mini-vacation from San Francisco. On the way out, we flew through Dallas and had a 2 hour delay. On the way back, we are flying back through Dallas and guess what – a 2 hour delay. I recognize that we are getting ready to board a gigantic metal tube with a bazillion miles of cable and wire that somehow flies through the air. But, I don’t care how complex the plan is or all of the logistics that goes into getting 200 people from all across the country into a plane headed for Indianapolis. The flight is supposed to leave at 1:20 – not 3:15. If they told me the flight was supposed to leave at sometime between 1 and 4, I might not like it but at least my expectations would be properly set. Guess who’s just as unreasonable, impatient and difficult as I am - your customers. They don’t care that your email went down, the air conditioning broke or that your best employee is running 30 minutes behind. All they care about is that you provide the product or Stop at one – More than 50 percent of investors surveyed by Schwab said they had no appetite for figuring out the right allocation and investments. Enter your target-date fund, a complete stock and bond portfolio that dials down the risk as you age. A Vanguard study showed this method produced slightly better annualized performance. www.cnnmoney.com

service your promised. That’s it. Here are a few simple strategies to help you ensure that you exceed your customers’ expectations every single time. First, carefully set their expectations. Notice that I didn’t say “understand” their expectations. Your clients are unreasonable, and if you ask them what they expect they will tell you to finish the kitchen remodel in 3 days without getting a piece of dust anywhere in the house. Second, create simple systems to ensure that everyone on your staff is absolutely certain how to exceed expectations. A simple checklist is often more than adequate. Finally, create a corporate culture that makes excuses completely unacceptable. You want every person to accept full responsibility for his actions. Blaming someone else should never be heard in your business. Never. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Perspective: Maybe we don’t know Commentary by Mike Colaw When my children were younger they epitomized the tactile stage of life, constantly grabbing most items found in their path of exploration. I loved those early years of curiosity. Placing a refrigerator box in front of them was just as awe-inspiring as seeing Mt. Everest for the first time. One day when my eldest was about two-years- old, he managed to make his way into the kitchen. My wife was busy cooking and didn’t notice little hands reaching up and over the edge of the stove. Like any good father, I let out a shout, “Stop!” This didn’t seem to faze him. In fact, like any two- year-old would, he looked at me, smirked, and reached up again. As his fingers crawled over the edge, I knew what was in store if his hand touched the fire. Quickly I ran over and knocked his hand down. It hurt him a bit. He looked up at me, eyes huge and teary, and pulled away. Angry at me like I had wronged him in some deep way, he acted like this whole debacle was my fault. Let’s pretend we could rewind time and know the thoughts of a two-year-old from his perspective in this situation. “Kitchen looks like a fun place to explore…mmm, smells good!...Mom seems to be working on something up there….I want some!...Dad is yelling at me?!...Dad just pushed me away!...Dad is mean!...Get away from me dad!” From his perspective, all I did was keep him

from what he wanted and even created an unpleasant environment. Because of his limited finite perspective, his perception of the situation was extremely tainted. Little did he know that it was love that drove my intensity, love that caused me to intervene, love that ultimately was protecting him from a pot of boiling soup pouring on his little head. The unpleasantries then protected him from a much more intense situation later. Just what if we don’t understand? What if we make harsh claims about God or the way life works without totally grasping it all? I am not trying to explain away pain at all! I am just trying to illustrate that maybe we don’t understand all that is taking place. When people truly believe in heaven, truly believe the best is yet to come, it can give much peace and understanding to the temporal. “For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18 ESV) Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

Fun facts about Tahiti Commentary by Tracy Line

For me, one of the best parts of being a travel agent is learning about various destinations. Recently I’ve been studying Tahiti and French Polynesia. Here are some fun facts about this South Pacific destination: Geography. The islands of French Polynesia are half way between Los Angeles, CA and Australia/New Zealand. There are 118 islands, spanning 1.5 million square miles. There are 5 island groups: the Society, Marquesas, Australs, Tuamotu and Gambier islands. The Society Islands are the most visited, and include Tahiti, Moorea, Bora-Bora, Taha’a, Huahine and Raiatea. Climate. The average air temperature is 79 degrees and the water averages 80 degrees. The seasons are reversed, so summer runs from November to March, and winter is from April to October. Hurricanes are a rare occurrence. The island landscape is lush, with low-lying coral reefs and mountain peaks offering incredible ocean views. Details. Tahiti is the largest and most populated of the islands. US visitors typically fly into Papeete, the island’s capitol, which is an 8-hr flight from LA. Hopper flights and ferries will take you to the other outlaying islands. The official languages are French and Tahitian, though English is widely spoken. Tahitian time is 2 hours behind PST (6 hrs behind Indiana’s current time).

Genealogy ‘I’d forgotten all about that!’ – Part 2 LIFESTYLE

Commentary by Darla Kinney Scoles

While compiling a personal history, we find that some memories come to the forefront of our minds spontaneously, randomly and frequently as we go about our daily lives. Others must be coaxed and cajoled out of the recesses of our psyche with the help of a variety of tools. Two such useful devices exist at opposite ends of the technology spectrum. Last week I wrote about how thinking back on the places and people in our lives can help us remember our past. Picturing the details of these memories often helps us recall more than we had previously about a particular time in our lives, enabling us to document our personal histories completely. When we hit a “dry spell” in our memory searching, however, or to spark remembrances of certain times past, we can look to one very familiar resource – the daily newspaper. Scrolling through archives of your local paper (the more local, the better) provides us with the stories of our day and an amazing number of details as well. Even if we weren’t the subject of the newspaper story, it affected our life – sometimes in a significant way. Looking back on such events, with the

advantage of the passage of time, helps us to realize just how much they may have shaped our future. To view newspaper archives from your home town, contact the local library. Some are available online, but often, access is limited to archived microfilm, which can often be checked out. The more recent popularity of social media can provide a second method to jar loose happenings lost along our personal timeline. Facebook groups, such as “Growing Up In Orlando Before Disney” allow those who join to share remembrances of a place and time with others. One story often sparks another and the layers of detail from those who add to the posts can be quite interesting and informative. Try searching Facebook for a group from your home town. Just because we can’t remember everything from our childhood, doesn’t mean those memories are lost. Tools exist to help us get the stories back – and get them right. Darla Kinney Scoles is a freelance journalist living in Noblesville. Her most recent work involves the creation of “Stories”, an individualized writing service helping people get their personal histories down on paper. Contact her at darlakinneyscoles@gmail.com.

Look-alike syndrome Commentary by Jordan Fischer There are approximately 500,000 words in the Oxford English Dictionary, and the list of words which didn’t make the cut is easily that amount over again. It’s an abundance writers take advantage of, certainly. For example, if I want to say that I’m sweaty, I have some options: clammy, perspiring, sudoric, diaphoretic, soaked, damp, dripping, etc. With all those words to choose from, you’d think we’d have no problem steering words with similar meanings away from similar pronunciations and spellings … but no; that would be too easy. This week, in celebration of the pain this causes many editors (and I’m sure just about everyone trying to learn English as a second language), I present four word pairs that should just go their separate ways. Adverse and averse – These two are a pain. They’re both adjectives, and they both have a negative denotation. “Adverse” indicates an unfavorable condition, while “averse” (typically followed by the word “to”) indicates disliking or opposing something. The rule of thumb here is: If you’re talking about something you don’t like, you’re averse to it. If it’s something bad happening to you, it’s an adverse event. Compliment and complement – If you ever wondered in math class when you would use all the stuff you were learning, that day has come. “Complement” with two “Es” indicates some-

thing that improves, augments or adds to another thing. In geometry, which, incidentally, also has two “Es,” complementary angles are those which add up to 90 degrees. A “compliment” with an “I,” however, is simply an expression of praise. For example: “Compliments on your interdisciplinary explanation, Jordan.” Thanks, reader. Imminent and eminent – “Eminent” signifies prominence. A bishop is in an eminent position in his church. Many longtime residents are considered eminent members of their community. “Imminent” signifies that something is coming soon. There might be an imminent tornado warning, for example. In medicine, a transient ischemic attack, or mini-stroke, can be the warning sign of an imminent stroke. Intern and inter – In the interest of full disclosure, these two appear on this list out of personal experience (and not a small amount of chagrin). To “intern” somewhere is to act as an apprentice or student worker. To “inter” somewhere is to be buried. So, for example, when a rookie reporter who is assigned to the obituaries desk writes that someone was “interned” at the local cemetery, he is incorrect (Unless maybe he’s talking about a mortuary sciences student).

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Removing wall opens up kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home is located in the South Harbour subdivision in Noblesville and was built in 1973. The current owner has lived there for 25 years and is the second owner. REASONS FOR REMODELING: Why remodel? “I always wanted a bigger kitchen. There was so much wasted space in the dining room, and the kitchen was smaller than those in most people’s apartments. It was a galley kitchen with little counter space and a huge pantry. There was no room for anything else. The builder must have felt that the large pantry meant there was no need for any other kitchen space! I had new cabinets, flooring and appliances installed in 2003 but it really did not help with the space issue. I decided I was going to stay here, as I like the neighborhood and the water, so it was time to expand the kitchen.” DESIGN PROCESS: The owner went through a detailed design phase looking at several design schemes over the course of 5 weeks. “The goal of the remodel was better use of space.” KITCHEN DETAILS: The expanded kitchen includes new painted maple cabinets in bisque and ebony capped with a two-piece crown along

Before with new Hi-Macs solid surface countertops in Aztec Quartz color and bullnose edge. The floor includes new 13” x 13” porcelain tile from Dal Tile in Delta Gray color. The lighting upgrades include recessed can lights, under-cabinet lights and decorative mini-pendants over the peninsula. The new white solid surface sink includes a Delta Palo stainless pull out faucet. FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented on her favorite features. “The peninsula and the wall of cabinets are my favorite parts of the remodel. The red pendants give me the
