League of Women Voters debate gets tense By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Not unlike this election season’s televised debates, tension ran high at last Monday’s League of Women Voters of Hamilton County debate on the governmental referenda this election. The hot seats were occupied by City Yes chairman Doug Allman, Citizens to Reorganize Fishers chairman Wayne M. Crane and Fishers Town Council President Scott Faultless. Faultless represented a town viewpoint. During opening remarks, Crane asked the audience – more than 100 people – who was undecided, and approximately one dozen audience members raised their hands. One of the first questions asked concerned why the city question on the ballot was held until this election. Faultless pointed to low voter turnout in previous elections. “The turnout’s probably going to be 75 percent (of voters this election), so if I’m guilty of delaying it, I want all of the people to vote,” Faultless said. “I don’t want 15 to 20 percent of the population deciding the future of Fishers. I want the biggest percentage, the biggest population vote. And, unfortunately, there is no grand conspiracy…” Each called facts into question, specifically at points concerning the claimed council-manager forms of government and whether they have

Crane argued HSE will not be impacted, but Allman refuted the point based on the amount of people in Fishers increasing if reorganization happens, as well as the schools’ upcoming referendum for senior academies. Topics continued to range from the basic mechanics to the bigger scope issues, including annexation if reorganization does not occur. Faultless said future annexation could be expensive for the Town. “I watched the Geist annexation and again they pitted the government against the people,” Allman said. “In a good annexation you should

have a win-win situation where (they) make it something (for) the citizens, and it’s good for the government and all the people.” Each representative was given time for a closing statement. Faultless said the decision comes down to what’s going to be the most fiscally prudent to run the town and made mention of awards and services. “This is about our future, our kids’ future and the future of Fishers,” he said.

Bosma, Town of Fishers react to Social Security savings scrutiny By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Leading up to the vote on Nov. 6, the City Yes political action committee has long contested the possible savings from reorganizing the Town of Fishers and Fall Creek Township. Specifically, they call into question $800,000 of the savings that correspond with Social Security for public safety officers. The savings relate to what is called a 218 Agreement with Social Security. Last month, City Yes circulated a press release stating the Social Security Administration said no communications were made between the town and the government body and that in the past decade, “no community has withdrawn from a 218 Agreement of Social Security” in relation to various communities, such as Washington Township. The Town of Fishers has been working with Speaker of the House Brian Bosma, a municipal lawyer, on the matter, who said he worked with those various entities to exclude employees there from Social Security, with Washington Township’s as the exception, because he says its situation resembles that of Fishers’. According to Town Manager Scott Fadness, a government entity can opt out of paying the matching amount of money for its employees’ Social Security. In this case, Fishers’ public safety officers. It can only happen if the Town of Fishers re-

organizes, according to both sources. Bosma said via email that if reorganization occurs, the town and Fall Creek dissolve – terminating its individual “modification agreement,” allowing a new one to be structured. “A new modification agreement for the new juristic entity (SSA’s terminology) – the newly created City of Fishers – will be entered into, and if properly structured, would eliminate from coverage those who are participants in a ‘qualified retirement system,’” he said. Firefighters and police officers in Fishers utilize the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund, in addition to Social Security. Fadness said at least two public meetings were held with FFD and FPD concerning the matter. Hamilton County Professional Fire Fighters Local 4416 has since endorsed reorganization. Bosma disputes City Yes’ position on the matter, arguing that examples the group used in its Freedom of Information Act request entered their employees into a “’new employment category’” – eliminating the need to alert the Social Security Administration. Current inquired with PERF for more information and was directed to the Indiana Public Retirement System. Communication Manager Jodi O’Neill told Current that the Social Security Administration will make the determination if the reorganized city will be able to get out of its 218 Agreement.

Political action committees report numbers before election By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com After campaigning for months, the City Yes and Citizens to Reorganize Fishers political action committees have raised finances to support their respective causes. According to campaign finance reports filed with Hamilton County, Citizens to Reorganize Fishers collected contributions and receipts totaling $31,661.62 as of Oct. 12, as well as $21,340.03 in expenditures. Citizens to Reorganize Fishers chairman Wayne M. Crane said after the Oct. 17 Fishers Chamber of Commerce Luncheon, the committee received a surge of donations. He said the group is on target to raise just under $50,000 for reorganization by the time the election is over this Tuesday. “In that regard (financially), we’re successful,” Crane said, “but I don’t know what the vote will look like.” According to a similar report on City Yes, that political action committee raised $3,447.90 as of Oct.12. Their expenses then totaled $1,116.55. City Yes Chairman Doug Allman said, “Considering what we have to work with, we’re doing the best we can with limited money and volunteers.” Allman said there have been late-comers to the party. “I’m real pleased,” he said. “We’ve got people giving $20 here, $10 dollars here. That’s encouraging, win (or) lose, whatever happens.” Both groups received donations from public and private groups. Citizens to Reorganize Fishers received donations from multiple councilors, as well as firms that have done business with the town, including Meyer Najem Corp., RQAW Corp. and E&B Paving. “Every single one of those entities or individuals have a vested interest in Fishers,” Crane said. “They do business here.” One of Citizens to Reorganize Fishers’ biggest donors is Crane himself. “I put my money where my mouth is,” he said. Members of City Yes have also donated to their own cause. Endorsements shift for Citizens to Reorganize Fishers – At the end of October, endorsements came and went for reorganization, in general, and for the Citizens to Reorganize Fishers political action committee. On Oct. 24, the Fishers Chamber of Commerce made positive remarks about reorganization in a letter from Chairman of the Board Anthony L. Gutwein. An endorsement was called into question on Oct. 23. Citizens to Reorganize Fishers Chairman Wayne M. Crane told Current Senator Beverly Gard was removed from future mailers in terms of endorsements and that the situation was a misunderstanding. Current learned of the situation from a City Yes member. The group later published a press release concerning the matter. It included an e-mail from Gard. “It wasn’t a formal endorsement,” Crane said. “She didn’t want us to use her name in that regard.” In addition, Citizens to Reorganize Fishes also pulled endorsements from Senator Jim Merritt from its website. The press release also included a statement from City Yes chairman Doug Allman called into question a statements made in the Reorganization mailer. “In this same mailer they said ‘Give Fishers residents the ability to vote for every locally-elected official and hold them accountable,’ but forgot to say except for the Mayor who is appointed,” Allman said.

UGLIEST CAR contest

Town Council meets in retreat By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Town Council met in a retreat last week before the evening’s League of Women Voters debate on referenda issues. What happened: A presentation was given on new gateways and other signage for Fishers What it means: Two firms, Rundell, Ernstberger Associatses, LLC and RLR Associates presented concepts of new “gateway” markers and signage for Fishers and its various districts. The firms completed a study that found 13 areas to designate as entrances to the town, as well as three more the Geist Improvement Board is willing to pay for to mark its own district. The largest gateway project is at the 116th Street bridge over I-69. Its concept involved a sign that stretches the majority of the bridge, as well as a tower that lights up. The council members provided feedback on the concepts and materials that comprise them. Town Manager Scott Fadness and the council now look for an overall price tag, concept revision and more information on maintenance before it goes to vote. What happened: The council passed resolution No. R102912 What it means: The resolution relates to purchase of property in Fishers Point in the downtown area, according to Fadness. The properties were closed on last Tuesday. By passing the resolution, the town can issue “Bond Anticipation Notes,” and the capital will come out of the sewer fund. Fadness told Current the funds can be paid back after the sale of the property to a developer up to their value or less to further attract developers. What happened: The council discussed mass transit

Congratulations to all the weekly winners. The contest, with the Week 8 winner (below), officially is closed. Pearson Ford will announce the winner of the used car in the days ahead. Watch this space for details. Thanks to all who entered!

What it means: Fadness said mass transit is gaining “political momentum” and will be a hot topic in 2013. The discussion shifted to economic development opportunities, as well as how a mass transit system would be paid for. “If that lightrail could come up our way, it means massive, and I mean massive, economic development for Fishers,” Town Councilman Pete Peterson said. The council had various opinions on the subject. Ultimately, Fadness said experts regarding the issue would be called in to address the councilors.

Results for the Town of Fishers in this year’s National Citizen Survey showed high approval of various aspects of living, according to Town of Fishers Director of Public Relations Maura Leon-Barber. A total of 1,200 random households in Fishers received the survey, and 324 completed and returned the surveys. Some of the categories that were rated include quality of life, services provided, overall appearance, fire services, public schools and more. According to the provided re-

sults, 99 percent of the respondents rated fire services as “’excellent’” or “’good.’” “We are pleased to hear the overwhelming approval from residents and thank them for their participation in the 2012 National Citizen Survey,” Fishers Town Council Member Pete Peterson said in the release. “This reputable survey gives us the feedback we need to continue providing the highest level of service to Fishers residents.” Editor’s Note: The full report is big enough to warrant a flash drive provided by Leon-Barber and will be investigated for a more detailed look and future use.

Volunteerism

Fishers resident puts in nearly 17 years at YMCA Commentary by Larry Lannan The YMCA is a center of activity in Fishers. With the help of dedicated volunteers like Randy Crutchfield, the YMCA became a reality. Crutchfield has served on the board of directors for the local YMCA for nearly 17 years. He has been vice chairman and chairman of the board during his tenure. When it was made known a YMCA would be built somewhere in the southern Hamilton County area, many communities nearby made it known they wanted the facility. Crutchfield Crutchfield says when studies were conducted, it was found 85 percent of the families in the Fishers area had children, which he says was “an off-the-charts demographic.” When the town council agreed to provide the land, it wasn’t a close call for the YMCA to make the decision for Fishers to be the site of its newest building. It was believed at the time the building was completed it would take about 18 months to reach membership goals. “In reality, it only took about two and a half months to reach that capacity,” Randy said. Randy has been impressed with the quality of the board members, other volunteers and professional staff at the local YMCA. He also notes the town council has been instrumental to the

success of the local Y. He says the most important program offered by the local YMCA is the after school program which “offers a safe haven for kids before and after school.” Randy describes this as a “welldesigned, well-staffed safe environment for the children of working parents.” Randy doesn’t just volunteer at the YMCA. He has been a big part of a team that saved the Forest Park Aquatic Center when it was in danger of being closed. He and a team of volunteers continue their work to serve families at that Noblesville facility. He and his wife Janice are active in the Geist Christian Church as volunteers as well. Fishers has a YMCA and is a better place to live because of volunteers like Randy Crutchfield. What’s his advice to potential volunteers? “Find something you really like and offer to volunteer in that program. It will never seem like work to you.” Current Fishers YMCA board members serving with Randy include Cliff Allen, Charles Bellinger, Monte Bailey, Mark Bowen, Jo Biggers, Greg Cagnassola, Jim Cline, Paul Felix, Beth Gehlhausen, Justin Minges, David Pletzer, Peggy Roederer, George Sanburn, Steve Sexson, Robert Swain, Wayne Taylor, Denise Tull and Jake Vernon.

COMMUNITY

Cover story Town: No difference Reorganized City: Fadness said the possible savings for elimination of Fall Creek Township amounts to $200,000. Poor relief becomes a department in the new entity. City Yes contends the actual savings by folding Fall Creek Township only amounts to $15,000 because of duplicated services, police protection and road maintenance. Second-class City: A board of public works is added. Fadness said a cost differential for running a second-class city is dependent on the mayor and what he or she plans to spend.

Vote on Nov. 6 the last step in process that may change Fishers’ government By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com In 1998, citizens in Fishers faced a ballot question that could have transformed the town into a city form of government. Now, 14 years later, the process may come to a close – but the options for Fishers voters are more complicated than a simple yes or no answer on the ballot. The following guide explains how to express your Fadness vote, as well as the implications it has on the government. The questions appear as follows: • Shall the Town of Fishers and Fall Creek Township reorganize as a single political subdivision? • Shall the Town of Fishers change into a city? Town: No on question one and no on question two is the only route to keep the government the way it is. Reorganized City: Two voting options render Fishers a reorganized city. A vote of Yes on question one and yes on question two expresses a vote for a reorganized city. According to Town Manager Scott Fadness, the opinion the Supreme Court case settled this March renders the reorganization question as a trump. Second-Class City: A vote of no on question one and yes on question two yields a second-class city.

Town: The current Town Council has seven members elected at large. A president is voted by among them and leads the meetings. Reorganized City: The council increases by two seats and is still elected at large. The council then appoints a mayor amongst them, who acts like the current council president. Second-Class City: Six council seats are voted on by district, and three seats are voted on at large. 14 | November 6, 2012

Town: Nothing changes so it is not a possibility. Reorganized City: Section 218 of Social Security may allow Fishers to get out of paying its portion of Social Security to public safety ofBosma ficers, according to the town and Speaker of the House Brian Bosma, who has worked with the Fishers staff concerning the issue. It involves the dissolution of government entities and requires a similar retirement plan. If it goes through, the new City of Fishers has the chance of saving $800,000. Second-Class City: Getting out of 218 is not a possibility if the government shifts to a second-class city.

Town: The government continues to operate the same way. Reorganized City: According to the town, a financial analysis found that if reorganization occurs Fall Creek and Fishers residents’ municipal tax rate will decrease over three years. City Yes contends the tax rate for unincorporated Fall Creek will increase and property rights will change. Second-Class City: It is the town’s position that many factors, including taxes, will depend on a mayor’s leadership and future decisions.

Town: The town manager currently runs the dayto-day operations of the town. Reorganized City: The city manager would continue running the day-to-day operations, which includes hiring and firing department heads and appointing a city controller. Second-Class City: City Yes political action committee argues a second-class city can have a city manager. Fadness said a second-class city could hire a manager, but that manager would ultimately serve at the behest of the mayor and have no statutory authorities.

Town: No mayor. Reorganized City: The mayor in a reorganized city performs like the current town council president. Second-Class City: The mayor in a second-class city takes on full day-to-day operational duties, including hiring and firing department heads.

Town: The government continues to operate as it does today. Reorganized City: Fall Creek Township and its unincorporated areas cease to exist and are folded into the new City of Fishers on Jan. 2, 2013, according to Fadness. Second-Class City: The earliest the new form of government could take effect is 2015 after the primary election in 2014 or in 2016 after a municipal election in 2015.

Backshop’s picks for Election Day

Correcting Political Correctness It is our position that political correctness should be reexamined in America. As voters head to the polls in one of the most polarizing elections in history, semantics more than economics may very well drive how ballots are cast. Some may think a vote against the current regime is considered racist. Will exaggerated sound-bites regarding the issue of a woman’s right to choose sway voters without ever examining the real motives driving the topic? Is socializing medicine the best way to provide equal access to health care for all Americans? And, should it be equal? According to global work environment research done by J. Michelle Sybesma of Professional Skills Consulting, Inc., political over-correctness may actually begin hurting America in the global economy because the control over office politics has stretched far beyond the initial focus of business needs. The principle of pleasing everyone is simply not realistic. How are we to truly understand each other’s differences if we aren’t allowed to recognize that differences do exist? As Americans, we should not be afraid to ask questions of each other and should be encouraged to do so. A little candor may very well be what America needs. Go to the polls on November 5.

Commentary by Terry Anker

While we love our home and being there, it seems that days go by without ever sitting down to a meal. And though I lament this reality, there is so much good happening on the other side of our front door to which receptivity is warranted. So we gather our family and go into the world. Heartland Truly Moving Pictures gave us such an opportunity just this past week. Our family had been in Brown County for much of the weekend, enjoying the turning autumn colors and the company of good friends. But we dashed off to tux up and attend the annual awards gala as the guest of a dedicated board member. It would have been easy to have demurred. It would have been easy to pass on another event. But as so often happens, we are certainly glad that we did not. Heartland’s film festival has become an Indianapolis and now international mustdo. The winning film “Cairo” illustrates the reality of sexism in the Muslim world. Check it and others out at www.trulymovingpictures.

org. Urbane people and talented filmmakers would have been enough to make this evening worth the effort, but it held another moment. At dinner, a guest we’d just met was announced as recently becoming a US citizen. We welcomed him to the fold and asked him to share his story. It seems that while he’s lived here more than two decades, he felt it wrong to remain longer without casting a ballot. Wow. He’d built a business, raised a family and paid taxes without complaint. But decided he could no longer, in good faith, call this place home without fulfilling his obligation to vote. While delighted by his choice, one is chilled by the millions of “natural” Americans who are not able to make the same commitment. Please go to the polls.

Tuesday will prove a momentous occasion on many fronts. Here is whom your favorite newspaper owners endorse (and why): President – Mitt Romney, perhaps by a wider margin than previously thought possible. We believe he’ll have a laser-like focus on the economy. Plus, he’s not an enemy to small business. President Barack Obama’s policies, frankly, scare us. We believe Romney will shore up defense and justice, two areas in which we strongly place stock. U.S. Senate – We’re going with State Treasurer Richard Mourdock. As much as we were (and still are) aghast at his comments about “God’s will,” we believe he will march to Romney’s fiscal conservancy beat. Does that mean we just want him added to the conservative side of the aisle? Yes, it does. U.S. House of Representatives – Susan Brooks gets our nod. Some call her a graduate from Republican Clone School. We don’t see her that way. She is an independent thinker, and we believe she will be heard. Governor – We like Mike Pence and his fiscal conservancy. We view him as the one most likely to not significantly alter the course charted by the accomplished Gov. Mitch Daniels (who, we still believe, should be running for president in Romney’s stead). Indiana Attorney General – Greg Zoeller is our guy here. He filed suit against the Obama administration for foisting ObamaCare on us. We don’t need it. Indiana Schools Superintendent – It is incumbent Tony Bennett vs. Glenda Ritz. Bennett has put in place reforms (not nearly enough), while Ritz stands for uprooting teacher evaluations and ISTEP, and she is against voucher expansion. It’s Bennett for us. Whether our endorsements are correct is unimportant. What IS important is that everyone gets out to exercise his or her right (and responsibility) to vote.

Gift ideas coming up

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Listen up, good people of the northern Indianapolis suburbs: I. Am. About. To be. Famous! I am officially announcing my brand new book (published by Current Publishing and Dog Ear Publishing, $14.95) titled, of course, “Peace Out!” Love me? Buy my book and relive, or read for the first time, hilarious, select columns from my early years. Hate me? Buy “Peace Out!” and have a good ol' fashion Nazi book burning party. I don’t really care, just buy my book! Look, I’m not at all shy about promoting myself. I really want some new leather boots and a trench coat, and those things just don’t show up at my door for free, unlike Current, which gives you weekly access to the life and times of moi and where you can also find my Web site to buy my book! Without the extra cash generated by my soon-to-be bestseller, “Peace Out!,” I’ll have to stick to the budget and only spend money on generic cereal, book rental fees, travel soccer dues, and pap smears. Not fun, my friends, so not fun. So do your part in helping me become more fashion savvy (and famous)! Buy my book! Better yet, buy a bunch of copies and send them to your friends. The holidays are just around the corner; why not give the gift of me? You’ll be a hero, they’ll be thrilled, and I’ll be rich. It’s a win-win-win when you buy, buy, BUY! In all seriousness, “Peace Out!” will appeal to anyone who has ever called him or herself a

spouse, parent, sibling, an adult child, a hemorrhoid sufferer, Unisom addict, plastic surgery recipient, hunting widow, homeowner, an aunt/ uncle, a Democrat, a mini-van owner or a Mommy-on-the-edge. I’ve selected my favorite rants from the last five years and organized them into ten delicious chapters for your reading pleasure. Keep it on your nightstand for a quick chuckle before bed or stash it in the loo for some entertaining potty humor. But wait! There’s more! I’ve also included a bonus section including the best hate mail you’ll ever read. Who knows? Your comments could be in it, though you may not recognize yourself because I’ve changed everyone’s names to protect your sorry, saggy be-hinds. The point is, I’m offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to board my spaceship to fame while it’s still here on Earth. Ten years from now, when I’m carousing with J.K. Rowling, Nora Roberts and Oprah (she spans all genres), you can say, “I remember when her first book came out! She signed it for me at [insert local coffee shop/bookstore/library/gas station]!” “Peace Out!” (Now available online at www.danielle-wilson.com, Amazon and Barnes & Noble).

The battle comes to a close Commentary by Dan Domsic After three months of coverage, I can’t believe that the election and referenda is here. I hope that you’ve found the previous articles, as well as those in this issue, useful in understanding the factors in the town vs. reorganized city vs. second-class city debate. I’ve witnessed a lot of sneaky actions on the part of everyone involved. Disingenuous statements. Pieces instead of the whole story presented. Tempers bubbling over. Maybe it’s because I’m a little less jaded than I believe myself to be, but I was surprised to see how cold, and brutal, the recent League of Women Voters debate with Town Council President Scott Faultless, Citizens to Reorganize Fishers Chairman Wayne M. Crane and City Yes Chairman Doug Allman got. Well, some of the responses drew laughs from the audience and me, it makes me wonder if the battle wounds from this debate will heal for those so deeply involved, but I digress. I’ve never felt such pressure to get through the murkiness of politics and make calls on what is newsworthy and worthy of our community news space in Current. In the end, much like Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard told me a couple weeks back, there isn’t really a bad choice for Fishers, it seems. Some people seem to like the town the way

it is. Some want to try their hands at downsizing government with the chance of saving some money. People debate how likely that is, but local governance won’t really change that much. And a group wants to see Fishers be a city with a real mayor. Whatever you think about Carmel, keep in mind that there must be cities all over the United States that are run just fine. When the smoke clears on Nov. 7, Fishers still will be Fishers. It just comes down to what you want to see happen. I’ll say it one more time: This is a rare opportunity as American citizens to really determine who is in charge. It’s almost difficult to imagine just what will fill the void once this is all over. You can talk about predicting what kinds of other community news will be the focal point, considering the coverage before this all became timely, but I’d like to point out that it’s difficultto predict what the big story is going to be when a community can provide metal bands to write about it, veterans to talk to and other incredible people to chat with. I’m looking forward to the election and referendum being decided.

Arthur Kipps (Daniel Scharbrough) and The Actor (John Michael Goodson)

Spine-tingling chiller hits Civic’s stage Submitted photos

Commentary by Hope Baugh

If you enjoy ghost stories – not blood-and-gore slasher tales but creepy, elegant, unexplainable GHOST stories – you must see the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s production of “The Woman in Black.” I loved this show. I left the theatre thinking, Wow! Part of my “wow” was prompted by the actors. There are only three but they are excellent and they fill the theatre. Dan Scharbrough plays Arthur Kipps, a tormented solicitor who hires a professional actor, played by John Michael Goodson, to help him prepare to tell his story to his family so that he can get it out of his system and sleep without nightmares. “We’ll make a Barrymore of you yet,” says The Actor, but Mr. Kipps insists that acting is not his forte, that he only wants to improve his delivery enough to make his family understand what happened. As the two men develop Mr. Kipp’s manuscript into a theatre piece, each plays more than one character. They brilliantly tweak their British accents and their costumes (designed by Jean Engstrom) to fit. Sara Mark plays the silent title character. My shoulders hunched up in a shiver every time she appeared. My “wow” was also prompted by the design of the show. The first thing we hear is a child’s laughter. It is happy but also somehow haunting, perhaps because we can’t see much. The only light at first is the tiny kind they used to leave on in theatres so no one would trip in the dark. Ironically, such lights were called “ghost lights.” There are boxes and buckets, and larger things covered in drop cloths, some partially hidden behind curtains. Ryan Koharchik’s set and lighting design holds us in the shadows like a bully, teasing us with what it will or will not reveal, and Michael J. Lasely’s sound design heightens the suspense as well. This atmospheric piece will be most appreciated by teens and adults, rather than little kids. It was adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the novel by Susan Hill. It was directed for Civic by Robert J. Sorbera. It runs through Nov. 10 at the Tarkington Theatre in Carmel. 18 | November 6, 2012

◆ What: The Woman

in Black, adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the book by Susan Hill ◆ When: Now to Nov. 10 ◆ Where: Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre, 3 Center Green, Carmel ◆ Plot: Mrs. Drablow lived alone for more than 60 years in a gothic mansion on an island accessible only by a causeway at low tide.

This thriller contains all the ingredients of a classic ghost story, complete with deserted mansion, haunted graveyards, and locals who don’t dare breathe a word of the horrors they have witnessed. ◆ Cost: $39 for adults, $13 for Student Scream seats (includes college students) ◆ Box Office: 843-3800

The Amazing Spider-Man • PG-13, 136 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd For an absolutely unnecessary reboot of the web-slinging superhero franchise, “The Amazing Spider-Man” is terrifically well-done. It attacks the character of Pete Parker, a nerdy kid who gets bitten by a radioactive arachnid, from a darker perspective than the previous trilogy. Andrew Garfield, taking over the lead role from Tobey Maguire, draws a portrait of a socially ostracized kid who was probably headed to a lonely life of despair if he hadn’t been turned into a non-caped crusader. Becoming Spider-Man teaches him harsh lessons about responsibility – particularly after his believed Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) is slain because of his inaction – but it also helps him come out of his shell, especially with regard to lady love Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). The heavy here is Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys

Ifans), a scientist who becomes Peter’s mentor as they try to unlock the secret of transferring the regenerative power of reptiles to humans. It does help Connors regrow his missing arm – but also turns him into the fearsome, toothsome Lizard. Director Marc Webb was an unlikely choice for a big-budget action film, his only other credit being the indie romance, “(500) Days of Summer.” But Webb and the trio of screenwriters have made something genuinely new out of something old. Please note, “The Amazing Spider-Man” will be released on video Friday, Nov. 9.

A game of one-upsmanship One-upmanship can be defined as the art or practice of successively outdoing a competitor. In our case the competition is not the opposing team, rather it’s the other tailgaters in our parking lot. Way back in 1992, I remember when a man attached a flag pole and flag to his minivan. His flag, sporting the team name and logo, waved in the fall breeze. The next game, another tailgater had a larger flag on a higher poll. Week after week the “war of the flags” rose to higher levels. Finally after all parties had taken things up to the highest level money could buy, one man arrived and dealt the coup de grâce. He brought an inflatable mini blimp, in team colors. He filled it with helium gas and let it rise to the sky, easily more than 100 feet. The blimp was tethered to his vehicle by a long rope and on the rope hung a huge team flag. The war of the flags was over! So much for one-upsmanship, right, or should I say “yeah right!” To try to make one’s tailgate set-up bigger and better is a natural male urge that must be allowed to run its course. Eventually, after accumulating tents, canopies, coolers, sound systems, themed vehicles, and bigger and better grills, each tailgater will start to realize that a tailgate party is a social event, not a competition. It’s a time to relax. Don’t get me wrong, it’s

still fun to watch rookie tailgaters compete with one another, but for now, when we speak of competition it’s about having better food. Here’s a great cold weather dish that will stand out as the best food in your parking lot. It’s called bœuf bourguignon, or Beef Burgundy.

Ingredients: 2 to 3 pounds good beef (like chuck steak) cubed, 1/4 cup canola oil, 10 or more small onions peeled, but whole, 1 teaspoon kosher salt,1 pound fresh mushrooms, 1 bottle burgundy wine Prepare: Trim all the fat from the beef and then stir fry it in a large stew pot. Remove these pieces of fat with a slotted spoon and then add the cubed meat and oil. Brown this mixture for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the salt and onions and then cover the mixture with the wine and simmer 30 minutes. Clean the mushrooms with a brush and then slice them into thin profile slices. Add these mushrooms to the mixture and then cover with the remainder of the wine. Simmer 30 minutes longer and then take one piece of beef and taste it. If it’s tender and full of that rich wine taste, it’s done. If not tender then cook it longer.

New approach to hip replacement surgery Commentary by John Hur, MD Recently I began using a new method to perform hip replacement surgery, known as the Direct Anterior Approach. This new approach allows me to reach the hip joint from the front of the hip as opposed to the lateral (side) or the posterior (back) approach. This way, the hip can be replaced without detachment of muscle from the pelvis or femur during surgery. The greatest benefit to this approach is that the most important muscles for hip function, the gluteal muscles that attach to the pelvis and femur, are left undisturbed and, therefore, do not require a healing process to recover from surgical trauma. This decreases the amount of pain a patient experiences and also reduces complications, such as problems with hip dislocation. With less pain and improved function, most patients are able to return to normal activities sooner, if not immediately. In comparison, conventional hip replacement surgery approaches require splitting and/ or detachment of muscles that control motion of the hip and help prevent dislocation. Trauma to these muscles causes pain and swelling that takes time to heal in order to recover function. Typically, this requires six to 10 weeks of rehabilitation and restrictions of not flexing the hip beyond 90 degrees, which affects basic activities like sitting, crossing the legs, putting on shoes and driving an automobile. It is also common

Hire Us Before Your Spouse Does

for patients who undergo conventional hip replacement surgery to experience dislocation of the hip due to the weakening of the muscles that are detached during surgery. The direct anterior approach to hip replacement has been around for some time. In fact, it was first performed in Europe in 1947. Since that time, the technique has been continually refined with advancing medical technology. The most significant advancement that was made was with the creation of a special, stateof-the-art surgical table that allows surgeons to perform the procedure with ease. Today, literally thousands of hip replacement patients have benefited from this minimally invasive approach in Europe and America. Unfortunately, not all patients are a candidate for this type of hip replacement surgery. It is particularly difficult to perform on patients that are overweight or who have distorted anatomy. Patients should ask their orthopedic surgeons if they are familiar with the direct anterior approach and if they are an ideal candidate for that type of hip replacement surgery. Only an orthopedic hip replacement specialist can make a proper assessment.

DOUGH

Insurance

Knowing the ins and outs of flood insurance Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Lindsey J. from Fishers: All the flooding and problems from the hurricane have got me thinking about a flood policy. We have a basement and have never had any problems in the ten years we’ve lived in the house. What do you think? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Issues: The first thing you need to know about flood insurance is what the policy covers. A flood insurance policy will protect your property from flooding accompanying hurricanes, heavy rains and melting snows. A standard homeowner’s policy specifically excludes coverage for all of these things. The other thing you need to know about flood insurance is what it doesn’t cover. Flood insurance doesn’t cover water that rises up through your plumbing. This type of loss is protected by using an endorsement to your homeowner’s policy called sewer & drain backup. A loss from sewer & drain backup can be just as damaging as a flood loss. Coverage Recommendations: Most of Hamilton County sits in a moderate-to-low risk area when it comes to flood risk (you can check your risk at www.floodsmart.gov) and qualifies for coverage at the preferred rate. This policy will protect your house and its contents starting as low as $129 per year. It takes 30 days after purchase for a flood policy to take effect, so don’t wait until

the water starts rising. Sewer & Drain backup coverage is a simple endorsement that you may already have included on your homeowner’s policy right now. Standard coverage usually starts with limits of $5,000. If you have a finished basement, $5,000 is probably not going to get you back to where you would like to be. We usually recommend upgrading that coverage to $10-25,000 to make sure you are adequately covered. Higher limits are definitely available. The cost of this endorsement varies by carrier, but is usually a very low percentage of the total cost of your policy. Claim Prevention: The most important thing to know is when to cut and run. Your family’s safety is much more important than a house or anything you have in it. The steps you can take to prevent flood claims are pretty easy and you’re probably already doing them. First make sure your sump pump is working and has an adequate battery-powered backup, in case it loses power. Next, make sure your gutters and downspouts are free and clear of debris and obstructions. Lastly, make sure your downspouts are getting water far enough away from the house that the water is not returning. Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

Grammar Guy Capitalization in titles and degrees LIFESTYLE

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Incorrect, over-enthusiastic and, frankly, odd capitalization decisions are mistakes we see frequently in the editing world. I think most people remember the basic rules from English class: Do capitalize the first word of a sentence, proper nouns, the first word of a quotation, titles that precede a name, days of the week, etc. Don’t capitalize the seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter), compass directions unless referring to specific regions (For example, Alabama is in the South, but it is south of Indiana.), or general subjects in school (math, physical education, health). Of course, the beauty of our world is that there is so much more to write about beyond the basic rules. This is also the area where mistakes start to slip in. A big source of confusion for many people seems to come from titles and academic degrees. As I mentioned earlier, I believe most people are comfortable with what to do with a title that precedes a name: you capitalize it. For example, assuming you are reading this column on Tuesday and are 18 years old, hopefully you voted or will be voting for either President Barack Obama or Gov. Mitt Romney today (or, you know, Mickey Mouse if you’re a Disney anarchist). While the choice might be difficult for some, the rule isn’t. If a title comes before a name, capitalize it. What if the title is somewhere else, though,

Business Owners: Reduce up to 60% of your Internal IT Expenses! Outsource to:

or there is no name attached to it? What if, for example, your choices on the ballot were Barack Obama, president of the United States, and Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts? Since the titles follow the name, they are considered to be used as descriptors and thus no capitalization is needed. Similarly, were you to refer to the candidates as the president and the governor, you would not capitalize their titles. The exception, since there must be one, would be if you are addressing one or the other directly, in which case you would say Mr. President or Mr. Governor with a capital letter. College degrees follow very similar capitalization rules. If they precede a name – Bachelor of Arts Jordan Fischer, for example – they get to be capitalized. If they follow a name – Jordan Fischer, bachelor of arts – they don’t. As I’m typing this, I notice that Microsoft Word wants the latter degree capitalized as well. Just ignore that little green squiggly; we’re smarter than the computer on this one. As a final note, academic subjects in degrees follow the same rules as normal: Capitalize proper nouns like English and French. Don’t capitalize general courses like mathematics unless referring to a specific course: Algebra II, Modern Dance 101, etc. Jordan Fischer is an editor and investigative reporter for Current Publishing.

Vive creates project individuality

FALL GIVING

Commentary by Randy Sorrell Great vision coupled with forward design ideas can completely transform a home. And, that is what precisely happened in this nearly century old home nestled in the heart of Carmel. Ryan Coyle, landscape architect and proprietor of Vive Exterior Design, is completely responsible for this inspiring delight that is too comprehensive to manage in a single article. Expect another visit in spring 2013. Until then, lets enjoy how the entry to this ranch has been updated to something Ryan refers to as “modern / rustic,” which respects both the authenticity of the house and the neighborhood. The edgy, cedar entry pergola splashes galvanized steel as overhead members that echo the galvanized half round gutters and downspouts…a definite shout to a previous era when materials were real, and felt that way. COOL! The same architectural arbor element was repeated on the south side of the house and brilliantly flows as an extension of the primary entry arbor. NATURAL ROCKS Not content with a traditional sidewalk, oversized slabs of natural stone carry marveled visitors under the entry pergola and to the front porch. These 2’x3’ beauties are often locally sourced and installed on a bed of sand for proper drainage. The rich tones of chocolate, coffee and caramel are repeated in the several

tons of boulders responsible for grade transition and offer plenty of warm curb appeal and native planting opportunities. Knowing Vive is to realize that there is much more to the story and his families’ residence. I can’t wait to share that with you next spring. Meanwhile, if you discover yourself driving east on Smokey Row Road from Rangeline Road, at the crest of the hill and beyond the church, witness fresh evidence of what an exciting design / build / landscape vision can do.
