Shannon McDonald and Meachelle Wishart of Noblesville won the inaugural Race Across Hamilton County and its $350 prize. (Photo provided by Michael Hoffmeister)

Noblesville pair wins inaugural county race By Katy Zeller • katy@youarecurrent.com The Race Across Hamilton County began with an energetic leap forward at Ritchey Woods in Fishers and came to a competitive close at Forest Park in Noblesville. Team No. 2, Shannon McDonald and Meachelle Wishart of Noblesville, took first place – and a $350 prize. McDonald and Wishart, who have been neighbors and running buddies for about five years, had joked that they should do “The Amazing Race” together. When the opportunity came up for the Race Across Hamilton County, they agreed to sign up. “It took real team work,” Wishart said. “We both have our strength and weakness and seemed to really balance out between the two of us. The area that I wasn’t as strong with, Meachelle was strong with,” McDonald explained. Neither of the women planned or trained for the event. They simply avoided the crowd and focused on the challenges. “Everyone seemed to run for the closest thing first,” Wishart said.

“And just the opposite of where everyone else went, we ran,” McDonald added. Second and third place was a rival between two teams not only from the same city, but also from the same family. Jason and Kathryn Kempson (Team No. 16) and Jared and Becca Kempson (Team No. 19) of Carmel shared the same time down to the second. With both teams overall time recorded at 3:01:57, the judges had to determine who qualified for second or third place. Amanda Jackson, the recreation program coordinator for Fishers Parks, said the judges did this by placing the five park sites into a hat. A site was picked at random and the scores from that site were compared. The team with the best time took second place. The day was perfect for the event, and team members enjoyed the challenges at each park and the friendly faces of volunteers who served throughout the day. “The parks dept. did a really good job of putting it together,” Wishart said. “There were a lot of volunteers who were cheerful and helpful and helped make it fun,” added McDonald.

A look at interim study committees Commentary by Kathy Richardson

Indiana’s legislative session may have ended in March, but my colleagues and I have continued our work throughout the interim in “summer study committees.” Interim study committees take an in-depth look at a variety of legislative issues in preparation for the upcoming general assembly. They include members of the house and senate along with experts in areas pertinent to the issues being discussed. The committees review issues, study applicable legislation and analyze the effect of enacted legislation. Only one topic is addressed at a time, allowing legislators to focus on one key issue and form recommendations for submission to the general assembly. The issues studied during the interim are decide by the legislative council, which I serve on, and contains leaders from both the house and senate. This year there are 14 committees that have been tasked with a variety of topics. Most issues are sent to a committee because the issue is too complex to solve in the limited session time. The interim study committees give us the time to work through these issues, hear testimony for and against and then recommend 6 | September 11, 2012

appropriate legislation. I serve on the Commission on Courts, which reviews counties’ requests for new judicial officers and other court system procedures. I also chair the Census Data Committee. It is responsible for guiding the census process, looking at the reapportionment of house and senate districts and other election-related topics. For example, we will be looking at an issue that was discussed during the session in regards to the security of mail-in absentee ballots. Interim study committees are an essential function of the legislative process. The legislators, advisors and members of the community work to form solid groundwork for the proposed legislation that will be introduced in the 2013 session.

Sweets craving prompts $120k lotto win editorial@youarecurrent.com An Indianapolis man’s craving for sweets prompted a big Hoosier Lottery win last week. Russell Mulholland was on his way home from Anderson on Wednesday when he picked up a cup of coffee at a gas station. As he reached Noblesville, he began craving something sweet to accompany the hot beverage. After almost talking himself out of giving in to his sweet tooth, Mulholland stopped at the Meijer store at 17000 Mercantile Blvd., Noblesville, picked up a packet of little pound cakes and two Hoosier Lottery Scratch-offs. It was the best purchase he’s made in a long time, because one of those scratch-offs – $5 Double Platinum 20X – was a $120,000 winning ticket. When he scratched it off at home that evening, he said “I don’t believe it!” to his wife, Nancy, who thought he was talking about the Colts game. But once it settled in that he won one of the game’s top prizes, he didn’t let it go to his head. “I don’t want it to change me. I volunteer every day of the week at the Hamilton County Humane Society to walk dogs,” said Mulholland. Mulholland claimed his prize at Hoosier Lottery Headquarters in Indianapolis on Aug.31. While he doesn’t have any major plans at the moment, Mulholland, a retired Navy man and

Cover Story

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

Class in session

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

Spreading the word

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

Meet Casey Lutz

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

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

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

Opinion It’s never too soon to consider giving

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

Smelling the roses

Commentary by Terry Anker

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

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

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

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

A solution, but where’s the problem? Commentary by Mike Redmond I’m sure we’ve all seen the commercial: A guy stands at his grill while the tag of his underwear makes all kinds of snarky remarks until Michael Jordan comes along and saves the day by ripping out the tag and throwing it into the fire. And perhaps you’ve had the same question as me, namely: When did tags on your underpants turn into such a big deal? Also, when did they start talking? Actually, I’ve been wondering about this for a couple of years now, ever since I started seeing men’s unmentionables in the stores with big, bold declarations of taglessness on the outside of the package. Between that and the commercials, you’d think tagless underwear was an innovation to rival Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone, Thomas Edison’s light bulb and Samuel F.B. Morse’s electric telegraph. Why, I can hear the speech even now: “Today we learn of an amazing development, destined to change the course of history, proof yet again that there’s no match for American ingenuity, no obstacle that cannot be overcome with good old Yankee grit: underwear with no tag in it. Just think of it. Decades of underwear tags rendered obsolete with one stupendous achievement. All across this great land men and women are cheering. Bonfires are blazing, www.currentnoblesville.com

church bells are ringing. Babies are being tossed into the air and in the majority of cases, caught. We shed a tear of joy as we stand proudly to declare our undying appreciation for this glorious news. American tagless underwear manufacturers, a grateful nation thanks you.” Looks to me like what’s being manufactured here is a big load of what we used to shovel out of the barn. I, for one, have heard no clamor for tagless underwear. Not that I spend a lot of time listening for people to mention it. Let’s just say it has never come up in my social circle. And as an experienced underwear wearer (underwearer?), I can also tell you that not once have I ever thought to myself, “Boy, I wish my underpants were tagless.” My boxer briefs have never made snarky comments about my ability to cook on a grill. For that matter, I can’t recall a time when my underwear tags made any kind of comment to me. And if they did, I don’t think I’d be calling a basketball player for help. Not while there are psychiatrists on the planet.

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

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

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

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

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

For a full listing of dates, locations, activities and entertainment for all of the upcoming fall festivals, please see the Festival Calendar on the adjacent page. 12 | September 11, 2012

Parks dept. offers two new adult fitness classes editorial@youarecurrent.com Join the Noblesville Parks Department to get fit this fall at Forest Park Inn. The department is offering two new additions to their fitness classes – Adult Aerobic Kickboxing and Ageless Grace. Adult Aerobic Kickboxing: This kickboxing class teaches form and technique all while elevating heart-rate by combining kicks, punches, martial arts, and core strength. This class will increase strength, flexibility and overall fitness. Cost is $32 per person per session for Noblesville residents and $37 for nonresidents. Class is open to those ages 18 and older. Two sessions will be offered: • Tuesdays, Sept. 11, 18, 25 and Oct. 2 from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m. Fool yourself – Sneaky tips, not big fixes, can often be very effective when it comes to weight loss. For example, using a salad plate for your dinner entree instead of a larger one can help you to eat less without even knowing it. And next time you go out, try ordering an appetizer for your meal. Calorically speaking, the main course at a restaurant is usually much larger than an appropriate portion size. www.realbeauty.com Girl problems – It is no secret that high heels are painful, but what many do not know is that wearing them excessively can lead to everything from ankle sprains to chronic pain. Lower varieties with chunkier heels offer more support, but if you simply cannot give up your stilettos, consider orthotic inserts. - www. webmd. com

• Tuesdays, Oct. 9, 16, 23 and 30 from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m. Ageless Grace: This is a seated fitness and wellness program consisting of 21 simple exercise tools designed for all ages and abilities, especially for those who are young at heart.

Two sessions will be offered: • Tuesday, Oct. 2 from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m.; cost is free. • Tuesdays, Oct. 9, 16, 23 and 30 from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m.; cost is $32 per person for Noblesville residents and $37 for non-residents.

Umbrella policies help plan for the worst Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Desmond H. of Fishers: All this crazy weather and the commercials asking people if they’re covered for a certain situation has got me thinking: How do I prepare for the worst? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Those commercials have lot of people thinking. Insurance prices have stopped dropping, and now is the time to lock in a great rate with the best coverage available. I always recommend meeting with your independent insurance agent to make sure you’re completely protected. The big thing I want to touch on from your question is preparing for the worst. Adding an umbrella policy (also known as a catastrophe policy) is easily the best way to get on track with that goal. An umbrella policy is really all about having the peace of mind to know that your family and assets are protected. There are many ways to end up with an umbrella claim, but the most common umbrella claim is an auto accident involving multiple injuries and very costly medical bills. The other common claim is an incident on your property that results in injury. Medical and legal costs can eat up the underlying limits of your homeowners, auto, boat or motorcycle policy pretty quickly. Your umbrella policy or your personal assets cover these costs when your normal policy limits are exhausted. Your independent insurance agent will be

able to help you settle on a level of coverage that you are comfortable with. Most people should be pretty comfortable with an umbrella limit of $1 million, but limits exceeding $10 million are available if you are looking for superior protection. I don’t want to say that umbrella claims are unpreventable, but they are the type of claims that happen no matter how prepared you are. There are some things that make a claim more likely, such as having a pool, living on a lake, having a young driver, or owning a boat/ATV/ snow mobile (basically anything fun). Let’s go through a claim scenario to show you how an umbrella works: Scenario #1: The insured’s son was driving his car on a short road trip with a friend, the claimant. The car drifted off the road and into a phone pole when the son fell asleep at the wheel. The passenger was hospitalized for over a month with broken bones and internal injuries. The hospitalization was followed by some time in a wheelchair, but he was able to walk again after six months of physical therapy.

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

Plenty of options, styles await at Whimzy By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Whimzy is more than just a new shop in downtown Noblesville – it’s a destination place where you can uncover unique finds and custom designs meant to inspire you and your living space. “I wanted to give artisans a chance to showcase their wares,” said owner and vendor Donna Rugenstein. “Most that are starting out can’t afford huge spaces.” Whimzy was created to showcase unique finds and custom designs meant to inspire. “I was the original trash to treasures girl, creating one of a kind pieces from discarded items, initially given to family and friends,” said Rugenstein. “Painting murals on furniture and in homes was an extension of this creativity – a passion that was developed into an arts/antiques ‘shoppe’ named Whimzy.” Rugenstein said the store provides space to more than 40 vendors, which include re-purposed furniture, antiques, accessories, off-beat objects, jewelry and purses, vintage accents, clothing and custom designed pieces. Custom work is also available upon request. “We reach a broader number of people, especially now when more women go shopping together but might not have the same taste of style,” she said. “There’s a little bit for everyone – from age six to 106.” Located in the former Spent Saturday’s spot,

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 from 11:00am - 3:00pm

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

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

Grammar Guy

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

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

SAY YES TO... Soaking: Your body temperature naturally lowers while sleeping, so the rapid cooling you experience climbing out of a steamy tub can bring on the sleepiness. Sweating: End your workout at least two hours before you want to turn in. Exercising too close to your bedtime raises your core body temperature just when you should be cooling down. Fluffing: A pillow too large or small can tweak spinal alignment, causing pain that disrupts sleep. If you're a side sleeper, choose a pillow that has a height equal to the distance between the base of your neck and the top of your shoulder. Back sleeper? Opt for one that lifts the head in line with the spine. Stomach sleepers: You're overtwisting your neck and back. Train yourself to move onto your sidebend one knee to the side and wedge a pillow underneath it.

FOR THE

FALL TRANSITION

GIVE THESE A PASS... Twitter: The glow from your laptop has an alerting affect which can postpone the release of hormones that induce sleep. Power down an hour or two before you climb into bed. Oversleeping: Hitting snooze on your days off confuses your body clock, so you'll be drowsier come Monday. Wake up within an hour of the same time, every day. Cocoa: We love the stuff, but it contains caffeine, and if you're sensitive to the upper, having it after noon can keep you up at night, so avoid cocoa, coffee and soft drinks in the afternoon.

We're excited to slip on a pair of matchstick pants to pair with our fresh crop of sweaters, silky boyfriend tops, and blazers. Cut close to the body and cropped right at the ankle, matchstick pants are universally flattering and add a slightly more formal touch to your everyday look. Designers like Jason Wu, Etro, and Isabel Marant showed a wide array of saturated colors and textured fabrics that are sure to add an unexpected element of sleek splendor to any Fall look. Style them with suede ankle boots or a pair of pointed-toe pumps for a cool spin on Fall dressing.

IntroducingThe All-New 2013

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

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

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

Tiles to the ceiling

STROOPP

™

Remodeling by Dave Decker

THE

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

white subway tiles are a classic choice that can either be installed with thin, barely visible lines or thick lines in bold and darker “shades of grey” that can bring excitement to even the simplest kitchen design. No three-part book series required! Once you have decided on a look and feel that suits the existing style of your home, and is also one that you find brings you happiness every time you walk into the room, the next step is finding a qualified professional to help pull it all together. Although it is possible to do the removal and installation on your own, the dangers of demolition and tile cutting can be an issue, and even the highest quality tile will look unattractive if it’s been installed incorrectly. At the end of the day, there are ways to save on materials, fixtures and the like, but one place to splurge is to hire a reputable and responsible installation team. This ensures a beautiful and safe result for years to come. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (575-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies.com.
