Moon shoots to help others on local level By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

Good Samaritan Network serves Hamilton County as a group that coordinates volunteering and charitable giving. During the winter months, the organization puts on multiple events for families in need, including a Christmas event at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds that puts clothes, food and toys into the hands of those families. To keep the machine moving, volunteers are needed in many facets. Judy Moon, a data entry volunteer, is one who helps make Good Samaritan’s mission possible. Moon, a nurse by trade, wanted to remain active when she retired. To stay active, Moon started going on mission trips but eventually decided she wanted to help people on a more local level. At the end of the day, she is a Noblesville resident who volunteers out of the network’s office in Fishers. She said she’s worked with Good Samaritan for more than two-anda-half years. “…I decided I needed to do something locally to help the people locally,” she said. A phone call to the Good Samaritan office later and she’s there almost every day during this season. She directly helps thousands of people on a local level. Moon helped log the data for more than 18,000 people during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons last year. Moon and Nancy Chance, the executive director, handle the information in terms of getting it to different people. That makes it possible for organizations to find and pick out families with specific make-ups that they would like to support (for example, the number of kids they have and their ages), which is a common occurrence at Good Samaritan, according to Moon. She said some days are tiring – stacks of information can be daunting – but at the end of the day she feels good about “doing the Lord’s work.” Moon said Good Samaritan Network is always looking for more volun-

UGLIEST CAR contest

(IF you don't enter, you can't win!)

editorial@youarecurrent.com Fishers Fire Dept. rededicated and refurbished a grave monument of Raymond “Bud” Moulder, a firefighter who fell in the line of duty. On Oct. 13, 1968, FFD was called out to the Goeke Dodge-Chrysler Auto Agency in Noblesville to combat a fire there, according to a past news article. FFD Public Information Officer Ron Lipps said an explosion occurred at the site, and Moulder’s last action was to push a Westfield firefighter out of the way of a collapsing wall. Moulder’s original grave marker was adorned with a medal for his service, but thieves stole it on multiple occasions. The new marker graphically represents the medal. Firefighter Ron Stolz was a major player in getting the monument replaced. Moulder’s widow, Virginia Sigler and family were present for the ceremony. “The family appreciates everything the Fishers Fire Department and Noblesville Fire Department and Hamilton County for everything they have done over the past 45 years and hope and pray that this tragedy never befalls on Hamilton County ever again,” Richard Moulder and family told FFD.

There have been no recent tragedies related to incorrect seat installation in Hamilton County, according to Dunbar. She said participating in the event has been gratifying. “We’re helping families here in the county and making children safer,” she said. This was the third year for the event, and Dunbar said the sheriff’s department will participate again, if asked.

Cover story

A Steve Jobs poster hangs in Ben Dennis' home office.

HSE Senior Ben Dennis helms own mobile application business, leads student developers

Since then, Dennis was asked to contribute to the HSE Schools District Technology Committee. Dennis Tech designed an app for teachers to use for professional development during the HSE21 initiative. The application itself is still in production, according to Dennis. Moving forward, Dennis wants to start putting together mobile applications for restaurants, bars and clubs that include online reservations, targeted coupons and more. “Those venues are looking for a way to be able to connect with customers more,” Dennis said, “and I don’t know if there’s really a better way than something that they carry around in their pocket.”

Dennis works on applications for iOS

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com A mobile application developer based in Fishers recently hit the 500,000 overall download mark. The developer does not have a degree in information systems or computer science, though he plans on attending college in the future. Ben Dennis of Dennis Tech, LLC is a Hamilton Southeastern High School senior. His company is responsible for launching mobile applications for various clients including a Texan looking for a new tax app, a doctor who wanted to give new parents information on caring for their newborns and a trucking company looking for a new marketing tool. In addition to running his own company, Dennis is the president of BitWise Fellows, a group of students that craft tech solutions for various groups, including not-for-profits. The Fellows are part of a division of BitWise Solutions, a Carmel Web site development company. On top of that, he codes on the side for another company. And on top of that, he’s the vice president of DECA at HSEHS. And a member of the Finance Academy. And involved with the HSE School District Technology Committee. How does he do it? “With school, let’s just say that it’s a lot of late nights and a lot of caffeine to get me through that,” Dennis said.

Building a career

Dennis’s path began a few years back, long before today’s caffeine-fueled work sessions. He started putting together applications for Palm Pilot and Web operating systems in 2008. However, he said he has been enamored with technology since the first “The Brave Little Toaster” movie that had a computer character. “I started doing palm apps, just like fun, stupid little stuff that I just thought was entertainment for myself,” he said, “and then www.currentinfishers.com

The balancing act

I kind of realized I know how to do this, and so there’s no reason that I can’t charge money for it or make money doing it.” Dennis began bidding on projects online to get work. In his dealings with clients and projects, he mostly communicates to customers by e-mail and phone calls. He’s even tried his hand at outsourcing a piece of a project to India – which he never plans to do again. Instead, Dennis sometimes employs other students to work on projects with him. Current in Fishers

Working on three different businesses is something Dennis has to deal with outside of class. Like every high school student that ever was, school spills over into other parts of the day – except the other parts of the day involves business for Dennis. While at HSE, Dennis works on projects for different classes that don’t always amount to real-world execution. However, when he sits down with the BitWise Fellows, it is evident that the work they do could have just as easily been assigned by an HSEHS teacher. “Ben’s leadership with the Fellows, all the way from recruiting, hiring and management, ensures the right team is producing the right products for their clients,” Ron Brumbarger, president and CEO of BitWise Solutions, told Current in Fishers via e-mail. He said classes like entrepreneurship, advanced placement computer science and ACP composition (a college-level course) contribute to skills he uses outside of the classroom. When the school week comes to a close, Dennis continues to work on projects, sometimes turning off his iPhone 5, which he waited in line for, to shut out social distractions. Cramped scheduling and shutting the iPhone off aside, he still has favorite aspects of his work, especially with the BitWise Fellows. Dennis said, “It’s just really cool to develop this one cohesive team.” October 23, 2012 | 13

VIEWS

Opinion Obama speaks like 2nd coming of GWB

Life lines It is our position that eliminating one’s land phone line may not be in our best interests. Although this is a growing trend, one element of not having a land line is how it affects calls to emergency services. Calls from cell phones are automatically directed to the nearest cell tower geographically. A call from a suburban or rural area conceivably could be directed to a tower in a neighboring county. Since first responders have designated areas to cover, a responder in southern Madison County could not respond to a call from northern Hamilton County. The time that it takes to redirect the call to the appropriate personnel could be the difference between life and death. Additionally, those who have moved and decided to retain cell numbers may want to reconsider that decision as well. Not only could an emergency call be directed to the wrong tower, but the old, likely out-of-area code number will not provide the agency with good information on the location of the emergency. Land lines may be old-fashioned, but they do automatically go to the appropriate emergency service agency.

Trust me

Commentary by Terry Anker

Who do we trust? Do we trust our spouses? Our kids? Our parents? Ourselves? Or, do we trust strangers? Experts? Journalists? Government? This simple question has vexed human kind since we could first consider our own existence. Perhaps it harkens back to time in the cave when we most had to rely upon one another. If we chose a weak or irresponsible member to our clan, we’d likely not survive very long in the harsh reality of a sabertoothed world. So, we developed mechanisms to measure the veracity and reliability of the promised commitment of others. The most successful of us became acutely aware of deceit and chose to align with those more worthy of our confidence. The trust in us of others became crucial to our flourishing. Even now, centuries later, political candidates vie to convince us of their genuineness in a desire to advance their own agenda. But trust affects not only the trusted but also the beneficiary of that bond. Isn’t one

who expects, demands or even profits from the trust of another in turn responsible to be trustworthy themselves? For example, isn’t one who expects honesty and integrity from their own children creating a compact whereby they are held to exhibit that same honesty and integrity themselves? Of course, one can only be held to account for our own actions – we are not our brother’s keepers. Yet if we are honorable, can’t we expect honor from others. And if we choose to prevaricate, shouldn’t we expect others to practice treachery? Even then, we are never sure of another’s uprightness. Perhaps this reality roots the maxim, “in God we trust, all other must pay cash.” People are flawed and truth requires difficult choices. But even in a realm lacking a carnivorous threat, can we hope to survive without trust? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

"The signature of mediocrity is chronic inconsistency." - Jim Collins

Current in Fishers

While we're feeling just a bit more confident about the outcome of the presidential election on Nov. 6, we still strongly believe Republican challenger Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, has squandered an opportunity to blow up incumbent President Obama's oftrepeated stump speech that goes like this: “We can't go back to the failed policies of the past.” Actually, we agree wholeheartedly with that, but not in the way of which Obama would approve. You see, we believe our president has become the new George W. Bush, doubling down on failed policies that simply don't work. In other words, we fervently believe Romney should say that he agrees with the president in that we should not go back to the failed policies of the past. Those would be Obama's own policies, if you were wondering. ••• Musings from the third presidential debate: Did it strike anyone else that Obama seemed edgy and highly agitated, while Romney seemed more “presidential?” … Debate go-between Bob Schieffer of CBS News was the best of the three moderators in this series. And he stayed awake! Our opinion: Candy Crowley need not apply again. Jim Lehrer did a mostly credible job. Meanwhile, we’d vote for Ann Coulter, but the debate commission wouldn’t like her. At all. She’s not part of the liberal mainstream media. And she’s funny! ••• Our Nov. 6 edition of Current actually will be delivered to your mailbox on Saturday.

Formula a savior in nursing situations Commentary by Danielle Wilson Every once in a while I feel the need to rant. This is one of those times. In the hotseat today– lactation consultants. And before you hang me out to dry, let me state that, of course, breast milk is awesome. Go breast milk! Not so awesome are the pushy, condescending, self-righteous women who make you feel like a crackhead mama when you choose to use formula. Case in point: my twin sister. She is a firsttime mom who lives away from family. Her newborn daughter was constantly fussing and would never sleep for more than an hour or so. She still wet her diapers but didn’t seem to be thriving like the books say a little one should. So she did what any conscientious parent would do and visited the pediatrician. The doctor was disappointed in my niece’s lack of weight gain and recommended that my sister supplement her nursing with formula. He also suggested that she rent a breast pump so that she could see exactly how much milk she was producing. Worrying that she had been starving her baby and with post-partum hormones raging, my sister drove 40minutes to a lactation company to obtain the pump. Was she met with compassion? Validation? Encouragement? No. With a crying baby in her arms, my sister was subjected to a lengthy lecture on the unique advantages of breast milk and the destructive repercussions of Similac. This woman flat out told her that she

should ignore the advice of a medical professional and “just try harder.” Are you kidding me? How dare she! How dare she cause my sister, a new mother, to feel inadequate! Listen up, ladies. Breast feeding doesn’t always work. It’s not always easy and I firmly believe it is NOT always the best option for moms. I tried it with my first baby, and after two weeks of crippling sleep deprivation, I finally decided to let my husband lend a hand by taking a night feeding. The supplementing literally saved my sanity and probably our marriage. Babies two through four began receiving at least one formula bottle a day from the get-go so that I could be a happier (and, consequently, better) parent. And guess what? All of our children met every milestone on time and have been extremely healthy thus far. (Of course, that could also be because we chose to have them immunized, but that’s a whole ’nother column.) I am just so tired of hearing women criticize other women because they choose to use formula. Enfamil does not contain arsenic, people! It’s simply a healthy alternative to breast milk and in many circumstances, a lifesaver. And that’s my rant. Peace out.

Mail enhancement Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Happy Holidays, everyone! I know we’re still two months away from Santa’s visit, but no one told my mailman, or the companies that have already sent me over a dozen catalogs with gift-giving ideas. Can you guess which of the following items are legit and which ones I made up? Read on to find out. REMOTE-CONTROL CANDLES: What a dreamy idea. Instead of an aromatic wax candle to set a romantic mood, you dig around in the sofa cushions looking for a remote to click on the artificial illumination. The ad says the LED lights last 100,000 hours, which is more snuggling than I had in mind for the rest of my life. ‘NO POOP’ SIGN: This nifty lawn ornament is a large silhouette of a dog leaving a deposit on your front lawn. The word NO is printed in big gold letters on the squatting canine, a warning to people walking their pooches that your grass area is off limits for their pets’ daily business. Of course, since dogs can’t read, the sign makes Rover think this is exactly the place he’s supposed to go. DOUBLE-BARRELED MARSHMALLOW CROSSBOW: Get it before the Democrats pass toy gun control legislation. Completely harmless, unless marshmallows are toasted and contain a hot sticky center. Not recommended at airport checkpoints or diabetes support group meetings.

THE SIX-FOOT-TALL TEDDY BEAR: This lifelike stuffed bear is the perfect gift for any child, unless he or she just watched a story on the news about a lone hiker in Yosemite National Park who was mauled by a grizzly. SEASHELL TOILET SEATS: Easy to attach, this decorative commode replacement has preserved sea creatures embedded inside the Plexiglas frame. And what’s more comforting than the very thought that your bare bottom is about to make contact with shells, seahorses and starfish? THE REMOTE-CONTROL TARANTULA: Perfect for bullies, sadists, and practical jokers with absolutely no sense of decency. Comes in black, jet black, ebony and midnight blue. HANDS-FREE HAIR REGENERATOR: This device fits over your cranium and then zaps you with rejuvenating lasers, because if there’s one thing that will make hair grow (claims the manufacturer), it’s a little photo-bio-stimulation. The device is 100% hands-free, which allows you to scratch your head, wondering why you blew $700.00 on this ridiculous item. Guess what? These are all actual products. Maybe you’ll get lucky Christmas morning.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: How Much Will My Case Cost? During many initial consultations with clients, one of the most frequently asked questions at the outset of a case is “how much will my case cost?” Unfortunately it is very difficult to determine an accurate estimation of the total cost to finalize any given case, as each set of facts in a family law case is unique and can change during the pendency of the divorce. This difficulty is due in part because much of what may unfold during the pendency of a family law case, and thus the time necessary to complete the same, is unforeseeable from the outset. For example, while you may choose not to serve formal discovery requests, if the opposing party requests the same of you, your attorney will have to respond. Additionally, there are certain issues and/or procedures which are outside of your attorney’s control that may increase your fees. For instance, some county courts have local rules making mediation mandatory prior to a requested final hearing, thus this is a known cost. However, in other counties without such requirements, individual judges may still order the parties to submit to mediation or a form of alternative dispute resolution prior to attending and/or scheduling a final hearing, thereby increasing the fees to finalize a case. Attorneys should be upfront with their client about the potential time and cost required to finalize their case. There are steps clients can take to control the costs of their case to the extent that is possible. One manner to drastically reduce the attorneys’ fees is for the client to communicate directly with the opposing party. If parties are able to reach an informal settlement outside of the courtroom, not only will they save attorneys fees associated with trial preparation and attendance, but they will maintain control over the terms of the agreement. Additionally, if the parties are able to conference with their

attorneys for legal advice, but communicate directly with the opposing party to reach the terms of an agreement, in what our attorneys term “kitchen table” negotiations, the attorneys fees will be drastically reduced than if two attorneys must undertake substantial communication to come to a final agreement in any given matter. Custody Evaluations. In the event child custody is contested, either party may request that the Court order a custody evaluation be performed. If such is ordered or agreed to by the parties, then the family members will be interviewed by a psychologist who will determine what is in the best interest of the children with regard to custody and issue a report outlining his/her findings. Custody evaluations, while useful, can cost upwards of $5,000.00 depending upon the evaluator selected. Business Valuation. In the event you and/or your spouse owns a family business or a share in a closely held business, which is not expressly set aside from the marital estate pursuant to a prenuptial agreement, then the business will need to be valued in order to properly divide the marital estate. If you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement as to the value of the business, you may agree or request that the court order a formal business valuation. Business valuations may cost upwards of $10,000.00, depending on the type of business and the business valuator selected. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Robertson, Utnage win Halloween Writing Contest By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

Lindsey Robertson and Ashley Utnage have been named the youth and adult division winners in the second Halloween Writing Contest sponsored by Current Publishing. Youth Division Winner – Ashley Utnage Ten-year-old Ashley, a Fishers resident, said creative costumes are her favorite thing about Halloween. “I make it or by accessories,” she said. “I’m going to be a cowgirl with one of my friends (this year).” Utnage Ashley’s topic center on proper etiquette when wearing costumes while out trick-or-treating.

“I was brainstorming one day and had a really cool idea,” she recalled. “This story has a lesson.” Ashley enjoys reading magical adventures and added her own interesting twist of Halloween night trick-or-treaters. “Adding a magical spell would be a cool twist to it,” she said. Ashley also has written her own book, Talent Trouble, about a kid who likes playing his musical instrument but isn’t any good and ends up winning the local talent show. “I really like writing stories,” said the St. Louis de Montfort fifth-grader. “All the kids in my class know I write the longest stories.” Adult Division Winner – Lindsey Robertson What a difference a year makes. Robertson came across the inaugural Halloween writing contest last year.

Priscilla’s Pumpkins By Lindsey Robertson

Priscilla was a serial gardener. The landscape around her home was the picture of perfection: manicured lawn, freshly mulched beds, trimmed hedges. A yard no weed dare take root in. A yard all the more impressive because she maintained it single handed. She had been widowed some years before and the neighbors said gardening was therapeutic for her. Priscilla’s horticultural pride was the vegetable patch behind the house, which contained the epitome of a pumpkin vine. The plant produced a single, perfectly proportioned pumpkin each year. Priscilla was as well known in the neighborhood for her annual pumpkin carving as for her gardening prowess. Her pumpkins never suffered the indecency www.currentinfishers.com

of being hallowed; instead the pumpkin was left whole with intricate designs etched into the outer flesh. Sometimes the designs reflected events in Priscilla’s life, other times the spirit of the holiday. Several years ago there had been her late husband’s portrait, followed by a knife, a wrinkled human hand, then a raven, a cat, a trowel, and last year was her dachshund, Noodle. On Halloween, the un-carved pumpkin sat on Priscilla’s porch. She could not decide on what it should be. The first pumpkin had grown the year Jack died. No decision was needed that year as Jack’s face was already on the pumpkin when she picked it off the vine. The face had come as a shock— Jack’s body had never been found. Priscilla concluded the Jack pumpkin was a malicious prank and was relieved the next year when a plain pumpkin grew in. She’d cut the pumpkin off the vine and driven a knife in near the stem, intending to turn it into a proper Jack-o-Lantern.

“I wrote the story then but I didn’t have Internet and didn’t mail it before the deadline,” she said. When she saw this year’s notice, Robertson found her Robertson story, made a few changes and submitted it. While she has done creative writing in the past, this is the first writing contest the 29-year-old Noblesville has won. “I was aiming for something unique – not another haunted cemetery story,” she said. “I was trying to go for something a little different.” Decorations and pumpkin carving (the focus of her story) are what Robertson enjoys most about the October holiday. “I’m a grown adult that still decorates the house for Halloween,” she said.

warned you,” he said, hiding a grin. The old couple pulled into the driveway, and Robert hid behind a tree. He was scared they would get mad that everyone stole the candy. “Where did all of these pumpkins come from?” said the husband, clearly confused. The wife just smiled and said, “You’re tired. You need rest.” After the old man went inside, the woman walked over to Robert with the candy. He was frightened. “It wasn’t my fault. I tried to warn them.” “You did the right thing, so I am rewarding you. Thanks.” She handed over the gigantic candy basket with a warm smile on her face. Every Halloween, there’s someone who has a sign that says “Take one”. Every Halloween, there are kids who don’t make good decisions. But every year, there’s someone who does the right thing. Moral: Do what is asked and you shall be rewarded. The knife had vanished from her hand and the image of the blade appeared on the pumpkin’s surface. The following year she made the mistake of touching the top of the pumpkin. Angered by the loss of her hand, she had attempted to remove the plant, but it wouldn’t budge or succumb to any poison. Leaving a pumpkin on the vine was not an option, as some unfortunate animal wound up on the pumpkin’s flesh. Last year it had been Noodle. As evening approached, Priscilla made her way to the porch clutching a bowl of candy. She lost her footing on the uneven planks and the candy flew into the yard. Priscilla braced herself against the fall with her only hand. Her head came to a stop inches above the pumpkin. Then, with a sickening crack, her wrist gave way completely. While trick-or-treaters traipsed across Priscilla’s lawn in search of candy, their parents admired the pumpkin on the porch. The terrified expression on Priscilla’s self-portrait was alarmingly life-like.

Finding the right spot to party Tailgaters generally park in the same spot, every game, next to the same people. They like it that way. Some universities, such as Penn State, encourage this by assigning every space a number so that strangers really don’t have a chance to park next to regular tailgaters. Some colleges, like Northwestern and Indiana, have lots where they separate the louder student tailgate parties far away from other fans. Even pro teams have private lots for big spenders. This way the ambiance of any given tailgate lot should remain constant for its regulars with no big surprises. Now imagine that a stranger shows up in your reserved parking lot with a huge, loud, industrial generator that has no muffler. As this person sets up huge speakers and begins to raise the noise level by playing rock music, his entourage gathers and starts to consume large quantities of beer. This could change the mood of everyone in that lot who were used to quiet upscale tailgating. This happened to us at a recent game. It wasn’t appreciated. Several people complained to the police. Tempers were raised. A word to the wise is to have consideration for others who are near you. If you find yourself in an area where the tailgaters frown on your idea of a party, it might be good for you to move to a

Safety Not Guaranteed • R, 85 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd In addition to being one of my favorite films 2012, “Safety Not Guaranteed” also nabs the title of Best Movie Nobody’s Seen. This tiny indie came and went from theaters quickly but inspired plenty of passion among the few who bought tickets. This quirky black comedy/drama is about a trio of journalists sent to check out a cryptic help-wanted ad for a companion to travel through time. “Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before,” it concludes. Aubrey Plaza, best known for TV’s “Parks and Recreation,” plays Darius, a cynical intern looking not so much for her big break as something to break the monotony. She finds it in Kenneth (Mark Duplass), the odd but oddly charming fellow behind the ad. Paranoid and defensive, he

slowly starts to let his guard down and a nascent romance begins to take form. Do people in this story really travel through time? I won’t tell you, not only to save the surprise but also because it’s not really germane to the success of this film. “Safety Not Guaranteed” does not dazzle us with sci-fi hocus-pocus, rather studies what effect the possibility of its existence has on a small group of sharply-drawn characters. What a daffy, dark, joyous ride. Movie: ARead more of Chris Lloyd’s review of current films and DVDs at www. captaincritic.blogspot.com or www. thefilmyap.com.

Getting productivity out of creating culture Commentary by CJ McClanahan In a world where everyone is struggling to differentiate themselves, most leaders agree that they’ve got to figure out how to get the most out of our team. You probably ask yourself the following questions regularly: • How can I get more productivity out of my staff? • What is the best way to bring a new person up to speed? • How can I keep a “bad apple” from influencing the rest of the team? I guarantee you that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of books available that deal with each of these topics. In addition, I am certain that most of the solutions discussed in these books are viable and relevant. However, because I know that you don’t like to read all that much, I’ll suggest a simpler solution. Before you’re able to get more out of your team, you need to develop the foundation upon which all of their performance is judged. You’ve got to build a great culture. This is hard work and most companies pay very little attention to culture because it’s difficult to measure. However, we’ve all been part of a rotten culture that is characterized by high turnover, unhappy customers and slow growth. So, how do you do it? I recommend a three

step process. • Define your Culture - Decide what is really important to your organization and get it down on paper. What are the rules (e.g. – we respect our coworkers, etc.) that should govern behavior? • Get Commitment from the Team – Have every member of the team review your culture statement and create a large poster that each team member can sign. Hang this poster somewhere that employees and customers can easily see it. • Live you Culture – As the leader, it is up to you to reinforce this culture every single day. Refer to your culture in meetings, memos and any other opportunities to have to interact with your staff. If you are interested in making a lasting and meaningful change in your company, make it priority to invest in your culture. The benefits will be worth the effort. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Understanding the implications of the ‘waiting room’ Commentary by Mike Colaw Today I sat in a waiting room with one of my best friends. It’s amazing how just sitting can be exhausting. We were waiting on an MRI and it become really clear in the next few hours we would experience deep relief or prepare for battle. Don’t you love waiting rooms? Honestly, I am not much for emotions, at least the teary-eyed kind, yet I found myself fighting back tears a few times over the last few days. Isn’t it amazing how you can go from one type of busy to a complete other kind of busy? Or how fast life can change? The last few days have been filled with listening to doctors assess symptoms, then help us progress the diagnostic road. With every test it became more and more clear this wasn’t going to be a simple fix. Honestly, I tried a few different ways to help. First I talked openly about it, then I did my best to distract from the situation with lighter talk, but nothing could remove the agonizing weight in these waiting rooms. How do you deal with situations like this? Honestly, no amount of education or understanding removes the anxiety completely. No distraction fully turns your attention, not for long at least. What gives you strength in those difficult seasons of life? What advice would you

give to someone who is stuck in the waiting room? You know life is a kind of a waiting room. The reality is we all will face the unknown at some point. We will all be in the waiting room. In many conversations, I have found that eventually most of us land in two categories: those who work really hard to ignore the questions of life and those who work really hard to figure them out. There is an obscure passage I have studied and taught on. Isaiah 26:3 states: “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Sometimes when I read passages like this I think “yea, if only it were that easy.” Sometimes the leap from head to heart feels like a million miles. Some grab for a bottle, others grab for a book, but we are all looking for a way to bring peace to what we already think we know. How would you encourage those in the waiting room? I would love to hear from you. What are your thoughts? You can email me at justthink@ luke117.com Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

Grammar Guy

Is ‘alright’ all right?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question from Jeanne Flanders: I enjoy your commentaries. They bring memories of English classes during the 1950s with Mr. Eiler. Mr. Eiler had been my mother’s English teacher in the 1930s. Mr. Eiler had a list of words written on the black board that were not acceptable. If a student used one of his no-no words on any homework, that paper received an automatic goose egg. As the year progressed, the list of no-no words grew longer. At the top of his list was alright. Using alright was all wrong. Answer: I’ve received a couple of letters about the word “alright” recently. Some of them pointed out I’ve even slipped and used it myself a few times. Thankfully, my wonderful readers were on stand by to correct my error. I’m glad they did, as it highlights an important tenet of good grammar: Use of poor grammar should be pointed out and ridiculed as publicly and humiliatingly as possible, especially when the offender has the hubris to write a weekly column about it. Just kidding. But on to “alright,” which is, as you may have guessed by now, anything but all right. “Alright” is part of a growing list of colloquialisms which

has snuck its way into everyday usage. Other words on the list include “irregardless,” “anyways” and, shudder, “like” used as a conjunction. These words are so commonly (mis)used, in fact, that Microsoft Word includes them in its dictionary, save for “irregardless.” Now, as grammarians, we must leave room for the language to grow, and it should be noted that “alright” has its defenders. Those in its corner say it has gained a colloquial distinction from “all right.” “All right,” they argue, signifies that something is proper or agreeable, whereas “alright” signifies that something is average or simply acceptable. In that case, you might say a perfectly laid out table is all right in preparation for guests to arrive, but the lukewarm coffee you end up serving them is “alright.” I wouldn’t necessarily say that, mind you, but some might. At any rate, dear readers, please do not hesitate to nudge me back onto the path of proper grammar should you see me stray. It is only together that we achieve perfection, after all. Just be gentle about it, all right?

LIFESTYLE Et cetera Is ‘Double Victory’ possible in our divided nation? Commentary by Julie Osborne “But be ye assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer. One day we shall win freedom, but not only for ourselves. We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win YOU in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.” Those were the words of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther, Jr. in a sermon titled “Loving your Enemies” delivered Nov. 17,1957, at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, in Montgomery, Ala. These words linger on my mind as election day approaches and I wonder, in these days of mudslinging, dirt digging, and personal attacks, if “Double Victory” is even possible. Will there be a time when I turn on my television and actually enjoy commercials again? Will the blame game ever stop or will the accusation torch just be passed from one administration to the next? Most of all, I wonder if Dr. King were alive today what he would think of this election. What would he do? What voice would he add to the conversation? He was a man who had a passionLooking presidential – Esquire acknowledged a handful of U.S. politicians from around the country who take the oh-so political suit, turn it on its head or get rid of it. The list includes Vice President Joe Biden, vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and many others. –esquire.com

ate calling for justice and a dedication to “Reconciliation, not victory”. It was a calling that put his life and his family’s life in danger daily, landed him in jail and got him severely beaten numerous times, and it eventually led to his assassination. I wonder if things would be different if Dr. King were alive today, for his story is living proof that one person can make a difference. I hope and pray that one person will make a difference when elected on Nov. 6 and that his vision will reach beyond just winning votes but, in the years to come, winning hearts of contemporaries, world leaders, and the people he has been elected to serve. May our future leaders remember the example of Dr. King and “follow another way”, one which focuses on reconciliation and healing our divided nation so that one day a double victory may be possible.

The Atlantis, Bahamas IntroducingThe All-New 2013

Commentary by Tracy Line I get many inquiries about the Atlantis in the Bahamas. I recently stayed there, so I thought I’d share information about it. The Atlantis property is huge. We stayed four days and did not see everything. What’s filling this expansive acreage? A 50,000 square foot casino, 140-acre water park (Aquaventure), 11 pools, fitness center, spa, 6 areas of lodging, a dolphin experience center, shops galore and the world’s largest marine habitat. Oh, and over two dozen dining venues and nightclubs. All in all, outside of the beautiful beach with crystal clear blue water, I felt like I was in Las Vegas. The resort grounds are well kept, the amenities numerous, and the staff goes out of its way for guests. I also got lost several times (just like I do at the hotels in Vegas). Lodging options aren’t inexpensive. There are 3 main towers: Royal, Coral and Beach. Royal is in the center of the property and is the priciest tower. Coral is next to it, and the Beach Tower (least expensive) is next to it. Beach Tower is the oldest, and furthest from everything but offers a nice beach. You can live in the condos at the Reef and Harborside Resort has apartments by the marina. At the other end of the property is the Cove. This resort is elegant, peaceful Koi ponds, contemporary style and a private pool and beach.

Rumor has it the stars stay here. I can’t blame them. The resort is not all-inclusive but offers meal plans. They’re a good idea: food, drinks and extras can get expensive (there is even a charge for the fitness center). The Atlantis is a nice property for those who like action, activity and water fun. It offers great family adventure and is a nice getaway for couples wanting to enjoy the beach, a la Las Vegas. Tracy Line is a travel writer and agent, and the owner of Noblesville Travel.

It’s a Great Time To Be

Commentary by Larry Greene

A Tucker Agent!

ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home is located in the Laurelwood subdivision on the west side of Carmel. The current owner has lived in the home for 17 years and the house was built in 1991. While most of the basement was already finished, there was an unfinished area that provided room for the addition of a wine cellar. WHY BUILD A WINE CELLAR: The owner had been storing cases of wine in the corner of the unfinished utility room. “We have developed an interest in wine over the last 10 years. We visit Italy a lot and have begun buying wine over there. We had some rough racking in the basement, but it was not organized.” WINE STORAGE VS. TASTING TABLE: “At first we were going to have a tasting room built, but we realized that we would not be drinking wine in the basement so we made it into just a wine cellar.” ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS: The design called for the room to be framed out at roughly 10’ x 10’ and includes room for 1,100 bottles of wine. The room includes mahogany wine racking and trim with mahogany wood paneling on the walls. The door to the room includes 48” insulated mahogany double doors. The ceiling is covered with mahogany wood panels, trim and
