Before I die…

Commenaty by Krista Bocko

I love historic homes, buildings, neighborhoods, all of it. Well, maybe not ALL of it, as I look at my endless list of house projects and wonder where I’ll find the time and cash. Last week was the Annual NPA Home Tour and before that was the Upstairs Downtown tour. We are drawn to these spaces that give us a sense of place – these spaces that have history and beauty and a richness to them unlike any other. I feel like these buildings and homes have so many stories and secrets to share, and we need to be innovative and find ways to utilize them fully in our ‘modern day’ times. I recently watched a TED talk by Candy Chang, who has begun a movement in her home city of New Orleans that resonates with me and makes me wish I would’ve thought of it. Chang was reflecting on the lightening pace of everyday life as she mourned the loss of a friend, and she wished she could make her life and those around her more meaningful. “We don’t bump in to every neighbor (often, if at all), so a lot of wisdom never gets passed on. But

we DO share the same public spaces.” “How can we lend and borrow more of our things without knocking on each other’s doors at a bad time? How can we share more of our memories of our abandoned buildings and gain a better understanding of our landscape?” Chang lives nearby an abandoned building that made her wonder how she could use it as a catalyst for others to gather and share a part of themselves. She painted one side of it with chalkboard paint and the words: Before I die, I want to. The side of the building filled up by the next day. It became a space of giving and taking – of sharing. I’ve written before about things I want to see in Noblesville, and it’s that sort of gathering spot and sharing our voices in public spaces that makes me go, “yeah, that’s what we need here right now. That’s the sort of world I want to live in.”

COMMUNITY Fundraisers Donors can double their money in ‘Match 4 More’ eidtorial@youarecurrent.com With just days away from the inaugural Race 4 More in Carmel, a donor has come forward offering matching funds for donations made now through race day – up to $13,000. The race happens on Saturday at Northview Church, 131st St. and Hazel Dell Pkwy., Carmel. Participants will either run or walk, four miles or one as part of this fundraiser aimed at fighting poverty through the efforts of Love at Work Ministries, a local Christian nonprofit. Nicknamed the “Match 4 More,” this matching opportunity means the value of a donation doubles in its power to help some of the neediest people in the world. This year’s goal is to raise $205,000. “The generosity of this donor energizes our efforts to build a new feeding center that will nourish hundreds of hungry kids in the slums of

Costa Rica,” says Larry Prible, who co-founded Love at Work with his wife, Carole. The proceeds from the Race 4 More will be used in Alajuelita, San José, Costa Rica to eliminate poverty housing, hunger and hopelessness, to educate underprivileged kids, and raise up future, Godly leaders. “You’ve got to think of these kids like you would your own kids, as having absolutely equal value and potential in the eyes of God,” added Carole. To help Love at Work reach this matching potential, visit www.Race4More.com and donate. Those interested in participating can still sign up online. Registration is 6:45 to 8 a.m. Saturday with the Pee Wee Race (ages 2-9) beginning at 8 a.m. and the four-mile and one-mile races starting at 8:30 a.m. Awards and a celebration will immediately follow the four-mile race.

City receives IAC cultural planning consultant – Noblesville, along with seven other communities, has been approved by the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) for the second phase of the agency’s Vibrant Communities cultural planning consultancy project. “More and more, community leaders are realizing the arts can play a significant role in making their communities a better place to live and work,” said IAC Executive Director Lewis C. Ricci. “It is a vision called Creative Placemaking. From Arcadia to Zionsville, Indiana communities have discovered people want to work in communities where they enjoy living. The arts bring jobs, but also a quality of life that attracts creative, entrepreneurial leaders.” The colloquium was a partnership between the IAC and Ball State University’s Building Better Communities program. In June, a consultancy was approved for Noblesville for assistance in building on revitalization efforts to create a comprehensive Cultural District Plan to further solidify the arts efforts within the community.

Dr. Cynthia Seffernick attended the Medical College of Ohio, completed her residency at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn, Michigan, and has been a practicing physician for the last 15 years. From an early age, Dr. Seffernick knew she wanted to become a doctor — her fascination with science, human anatomy and women’s health has always been a passion.

As a child, Dr. Nowacki spent a great deal of time in and out of the hospital. As a result, she became fascinated by medicine and cultivated a passion for health care and helping people. She knew as early as age 6 that she wanted to become a doctor.

“Fishers is home for me — it’s where I was born and raised. That’s why I’m so excited about having the opportunity to come here and practice medicine. It’s a community I truly love, and I’m grateful I can help give back,” said Dr. Nowacki.

A colonoscopy could sAve your life don’t neglect this critical cancer screening.

Colon cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States for both men and women. That’s why it’s so important to get your first colonoscopy at age 50, and follow-up screenings every 10 years after that. “Colonoscopies save lives,” said St.Vincent physician Christine Gupta, MD. “If you are at high-risk for colon cancer, meaning someone in your family has had the disease, it’s important to get the screening 10 years prior to the age at which your family member was diagnosed.” For example, if a family member was diagnosed at age 50, you should get your first colonoscopy at age 40. “If your family member was diagnosed at 75, you quite naturally should still get your first screening at age 50,” Dr. Gupta added. Ask your primary care physician for a colonoscopy referral today. If you don’t have a primary care physician and want to learn more about colonoscopies—or if you want to schedule an appointment—call Dr. Christine Gupta’s office at 317-582-8061.

The Roper Lofts

New executive director Nate Lichti looks to expand HAND’s work in Noblesville, Hamilton County By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development, Inc. is defying a market trend. While the housing market hit a snag during the recession, HAND is moving forward with construction and developments. It also is moving forward under new leadership. Nate Lichti, who replaced Stephanie Burdick after her family relocated to Louisville, was named executive director in August. Prior to joining HAND, Lichti served as assistant director of Mapleton-Fall Creek Development Corporation in Indianapolis since 2008. While there, Lichti oversaw programs that invested more than $6 million in a targeted neighborhood, impacting more than 200 households. “I found a passion for community development,” he said. HAND is a non-profit, community housing development organization which addresses the housing needs of low- and moderate-income individuals, families, and seniors through the development of rental properties and assisting residents in obtaining affordable homeownership in Hamilton County. The organization has three finished properties which, all except for The Roper Lofts, are designated for senior citizens. “Baby boomers are getting ready to retire,” said Lichti. “The senior population is on fixed income and struggle with living costs.” HAND receives state grants and is subsidized by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indiana. The organization also receives funding from the county through the community development block grant. Lichti said that the proceeds from apartment units is reinvested in the next property or development. On the horizon for HAND is completion of Pebble Brook Garwww.currentnoblesville.com

dens, an affordable apartment community in Noblesville consisting of nine two-bedroom patio apartments for residents aged 55 and older. The project is being built with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards to be energy efficient. “The bills for seniors are going to be terrific,” said Lichti. “It’ll be significantly lower than what they are used to.” Pebble Brook also will feature native plants in a neighborhood rain garden. “All storm water on site will be captured and slowly returned to the garden,” Lichti explained. In the Pebble Brook subdivision, Lichti said the amenities within walking distance like the daycare, Pebble Brook Golf Course, and commercial strip are selling points for the apartments. “I love the location,” he said. “It fits well into the fabric of this community and within an existing plotted neighborhood.” Once Pebble Brook Gardens hosts its grand opening next month, HAND will begin focusing on its next development – a five apartment complex two blocks north of Ind. 19 in downtown Cicero. Lichti said construction will begin next spring or summer. In addition to providing more housing units, Lichti wants to talk to all county cities and towns and possibly reevaluate HAND’s strategic plan. He said he believes other opportunities could include transitional and family housing. “I want to really listen and hear what the community has to say,” he said. “We’ve got to be actively looking at what the next opportunity is. Senior apartments are very successful. It’d be irresponsible to not keep this in our portfolio.” To learn more, visit www.handincorporated.org.

Opinion Arts festival worthy of your attention

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

Taxing consideration

Commentary by Terry Anker

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tongue tied

Commentary by Mike Redmond

Occasionally, I imagine myself as fluent in several languages. It’s not without some basis in fact: Over the years I have studied French, Russian, Latin, German and Spanish. The fact is, when I try to speak a language other than Standard Northern Indiana, I become tongue-tied. Or, considering the number of languages involved, tongues-tied. French, for example. I took French for three years in school. What do I remember? I remember not liking French, for one thing, and I remember fragments of conversation drills, none of which I have ever used. Ever. This leads us to Russian, which I studied for about a year. My Russian is even more pathetic than my French. I remember how to say “good evening,” “thank you,” “goodbye,” “apple,” “chimpanzee,” and “who said meow?” This will be extremely useful if I am ever greeted by a meowing primate offering fruit. Now, on to Latin. I took Latin for a year, thinking it would shore up some of my linguistic weaknesses. Unfortunately, I was so rotten at it that I can’t tell if my plan worked. My Latin is pretty much limited to “Ad astra per aspera” (Through difficulty to the stars, the state motto of Kansas); “Vestis virum reddit” (Clothes make the man); and “Semper ubi sub ubi” (Always wear underwear). www.currentnoblesville.com

So forget Latin. My Pig Latin, however, is errific-tay. German was next. For German I had a crackpot teacher who drilled the language into us with goofy bromides: “Arbeit mach das Leben süß, work makes life sweet, how true, class, how true.” I thought the man was out of his mind. I also learned more from him than any other language teacher. Now I am learning Spanish via a home study course. According to the course, I am doing splendidly. According to people who speak Spanish: Not so much. Oh, I know a lot of words and phrases, but stitching them all into conversation is another matter entirely. On the computer, I am Don Miguel, el de la lengua de plata (Sir Michael of the silver tongue). In real life, I am Mortimer Snerd, idiota. Anyway, I struggle on. As it is, I’ve already learned a dandy phrase to go with my Latin mottos and German platitudes: “Los calcetinas huelen mal.” Good one, huh? “Los calcetinas huelen mal.” Just sort of rolls right off the tongue: “Los calcetinas huelen mal.” It means: “The socks smell bad.” Call me Ortimer-may Erd-snay.

Wind Kissed

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

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

Nesting

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

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

Review

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

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

Cutting tobacco use for October could earn you $2,500 editorial@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs is encouraging residents to start training to win and sign up for the Quit Now Indiana contest. Reducing tobacco use saves lives, but pairing those efforts with healthy diet and exercise choices can make quitting tobacco for good that much easier. The 2012 Quit Now Indiana will once again challenge Hoosier smokers to quit tobacco for the month of October. According to the CDC, positive lifestyle changes increase the success rates of people trying to quit smoking. Good nutrition, increased consumption of water and exercise help with quitting tobacco. “Quitting tobacco often takes planning and preparation,” said State Health Commissioner Gregory Larkin, M.D. “Make a ‘training’ plan for the first few months to help you form new habits during those times when you would be using tobacco. By incorporating more exercise into your day, making healthier eating choices, and drinking plenty of water, you’ll stay occupied, while at the same time, creating a healthier overall lifestyle and mindset. We have plenty of Quit Coaches at the Indiana Tobacco Quitline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, who can provide training tips that meet your needs.” The statewide contest is designed to encourThirsty – It has been said many times that people need eight glasses of water a day, but there is actually no research stating that this is necessary. It is recommended that men consume about 125 ounces of water a day, and about 91 for women, but that includes intake from foods and other beverages. Drinking simply for the sake of hydrating is only necessary if you have been exposed to heat stress or have performed vigorous physical activity. - www. webmd.com

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

Pass on the salt – Dark circles under the eyes are typically telltale signs of too many late nights, but if you still suffer from them and are getting enough rest, look to your diet. Eating too much salt can promote water retention throughout the body, and the sensitive under-eye area is no exception. - www.health.com Go with the flow – Every organ in the body relies on blood flow, especially the heart and brain. A diet full of whole grains is one of the best consumption choices, and can enhance blood flow, making you feel more awake and aid concentration. - www. webmd.com

All 92 Indiana counties designated primary disaster areas editorial@youarecurrent.com Lt. Gov.Becky Skillman and Indiana State Executive Director of the Farm Service Agency Julia Wickard recently announced that all 92 Indiana counties have been designated primary natural disaster areas by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. The word comes after Skillman Skillman and Wickard sent a letter on July 25 to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack, requesting a Secretarial disaster designation for Indiana, due to the impact of excessive heat,

frost, freeze and drought. The USDA reviewed the Loss Assessment Reports and determined sufficient production losses to warrant such a declaration. A Secretarial disaster designation makes qualified farmers in both primary and contiguous counties eligible for lowinterest emergency loans through USDA’s Farm Service Agency. Farmers Wickard in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for low interest loans. FSA will consider each loan application on individual merits.

Illness inspires Cooper to open insurance agency By Katy Frantz • katy@youarecurrent.com Doug Cooper recently opened the doors to his own insurance business – The Doug Cooper Agency, located at 783 E. Main St., Westfield – but arriving at this point was an unpredictable journey for the Cooper family. Last November, Cooper was hospitalized with an isolated case of acute renal failure due to a common cold. “I had two little boys and no life insurance – I was thinking about becoming a life insurance agent anyway – and it solidified that I was doing the right thing,” he said. During his three months of recovery Cooper gained “insurance knowledge and licensing” and chose an agency to work with. Cooper’s agency is a branch of American Family Insurance, a company which started in rural Wisconsin in 1927. The No. 1 priority of his business is “making sure that every customer receives respect” and is treated with the greatest possible customer service. “My passion and privilege is to help educate families on insurance,” Cooper said. Cooper understands that no one likes life insurance, but that it is necessary and useful when the unexpected happens. “Having a personal insurance agent is valuable, because you get the education. You know what you are buying and know you are covered well,” he said. One of Cooper’s goals in his business is to be present when customers are dealing with catastrophic loss. “One of the things that is very important to me is – whenever humanely possible – to physically be there on site and taking that burden off of the customer, filing

the claim for them, walking them through the process, making sure they have the means for living until their home is rebuilt,” he said. Cooper will work with people in whatever setting they are comfortable – over the phone, in the office or through text or email. “We don’t expect your business,” he said, “although we would like to ask for an opportunity to earn it.” Cooper has lived with his wife and two boys in Westfield for four years, and is getting involved in the community. He is a member of the Westfield Rotary Club and volunteers with his church and Habitat for Humanity.

Grammar Guy/Diversions

Ten items or fewer

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

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

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

Genealogy ‘I’d forgotten all about that!’ – Part 1 LIFESTYLE

Each and every one of us has a story worth telling. Sometimes, however, it is difficult for us to: A. realize that; B. know where to begin the telling C. devote the time to doing so. A great way to formulate a story – and to overcome obstacles A, B and C – is to begin with a place from your childhood and build from there. Is there a setting that brings back fond or vivid memories? Start with describing that place or setting in a simple journal-entry format. You may find that as you do so, a certain memory comes to mind and you think, “I’d forgotten all about that!” Use that memory to introduce the second element of your story – people. Chances are, other people are involved in the memory you’ve just shaken loose. Take the time to carefully and in a detailed manner, write about the others who played a part in whatever made the place memorable that particular day, month, year – whatever. As you develop the “characters” in the situation, more and more aspects of why the place was originally important will most likely come forth. With place and people established in your story, continue to create a picture of what is taking shape. Add in even the tiniest recollections to help your audience personally relate to what you are sharing. Humans having experiences in common is, well, common. But remember that each person living the experience is unique and brings

a unique perspective to the situation. What makes your remembrance unique? What does it have in common with those of others? Your picture will have both uniqueness and commonality. As you develop the full picture, piece by piece, you will most likely see a problem developing among the people involved. Most impactful memories have some sort of dilemma, trauma, drama or other problematic aspect, which has planted them in our psyche. How does each person add to or take part in the problem? What part do you play? How did you feel? Chances are (hopefully) the problem at hand in your remembrances progressed to the point of resolution – or at least neutrality. We work through things in life, right? How do the place, people, picture and problem of this moment in your life resolve, evolve or devolve so the story can move forward? Share that progression from your perspective, but also including its impact on all those involved as well. Guess what? You’ve just written one chapter of your story. Next time, I’ll share some tools and tips to help you remember even more.

FREE CONSULTATION with a member of our Dream Team! ($50 value)

THE LONG STORY To some people, long hair has always been considered the epitome of feminine beauty. The journey to growing out your long hair is often only met with great difficulties and frustrations. Environmental factors, stress and chemical treatments are just some of the factors that can tend to worsen the condition of your hair, impeding the growth process. Usually only with great care and patience can the dream of long, healthy and natural hair be realized. Hair grows about a half inch every month, which, depending on your desired length, can make the growing out process seem long. With every inch of growth, you and your stylist have an opportunity to explore a new style direction. But, if you are growing your hair out, and want to skip the chin length and shoulder length looks, Hairdreams hair extensions might be the perfect solution for you. Salon 01 has certified Hairdreams specialists on staff ready to help make your long hair dreams a reality. Call today to set up a consultation with a member of our Dream Team!

THE SALON 01 DREAM TEAM! Salon 01 is proud to have many stylists certified in Hairdreams hair extensions, and we even have a Hairdreams educator and platform artist on staff! Laura Symons (left, above) has been a member of the Hairdreams team for years. She travels the country demonstrating and educating in their extensions systems. She has also been featured as a platform artist in New York City and in California. Other members of the Salon 01 Dream Team include Dawn Sawyer, Stephanie Huston, Monica Dickey, Angela Bloehs, Cristina Prieto, Ashley Stacy and Melissa Bauman. Call to schedule a consultation with one of our talented extensions specialists today!

Spa + books = heaven! Commentary by Tracy Line

One of the newest travel trends is a vacation with a theme or event tied in. Major cruise lines offer concerts, wine tastings and the chance to hobnob with celebrity chefs almost regularly now. Culinary and adventure trips are popping up everywhere, and traveling to volunteer is so popular it’s gained a moniker: voluntourism. I don’t normally get so excited about such trips. However, given the right combination, even I can be persuaded. And so it is that I am headed to the Heartland Spa in January for their Jane Austen weekend. I mean really, a relaxing massage, delicious cuisine and stimulating book discussions: I’m all in! The Heartland is an all-inclusive spa located about two hours northwest of Noblesville, in Gilman, Ill. Stays include lodging, all meals/ snacks, a spa treatment (additional treatments for purchase), fitness classes and wellness discussions. Guests enjoy use of the salon, spa and fitness center with indoor pool, whirlpool and sauna. The idea for the weekend came from the Heartland’s Reenie Kietzman. “I was walking around and noticed several of our guests were curled up on a sofa reading a book,” says Kietzman, “I finally asked one guest if she’d be interested in a book-themed weekend, she was so enthusiastic we decided to try it.”

FREE 15% OFF TOP DOWN/BOTTOM UP BLINDS TOP DOWN/BOTTOM UP ONExpires SELECT SHADES October 15th Expires October 15th

Kietzman notes that reading is a great stress reducer, and thus an important part of health. While guests are free to simply enjoy the spa, book lovers can unite to celebrate Austen through book discussions, an Austen movie-marathon and much more. In addition, Noblesville resident Jo Mader and her husband are guest speakers for the weekend. Mader is a previous board member and current member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Being able to relax, learn about Austen and support a local speaker? That’s a marketing ploy I’ll take anytime. Tracy Line is a travel writer and agent, and the owner of Noblesville Travel.

INSIDE & OUT

Outdoors

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

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

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