Linda Connors helps Home Instead Senior Care get a jump start on wrapping the gifts for seniors. (Submitted photo)

Yes, Grandpa, there is a Santa

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

With Halloween over, the Christmas season officially has begun. Soon, homes all around Hamilton County will be decorated and ready for the holiday. Home Instead Senior Care, older adults a non-medical home care company that provides companionship, transportation, and more to local elderly seniors, also is preparing for the Christmas season. One of its charities, Be a Santa to a Senior, a nonprofit that helps lonely seniors have a better Christmas, began Nov. 4. Christmas trees will be put up in local Walgreens stores with ornaments on them that bear a senior’s name, gender, and a few items wanted for Christmas. Others that want to help can do their shopping right in that Walgreens store. Gifts don’t have to be wrapped; they may be left under the Walgreen’s tree after purchase. “It’s a program that’s developed to help needy and lonely seniors in the community to make sure they get a Christmas gift,” HISC owner Chris Irons said. “It was just really started from seeing the need out

ON THE WEB

there in the community for seniors who won’t get any gifts.” HISC works with many nonprofit organizations as well as nursing homes. These organizations can inform HISC on which seniors may not have family members or visitors. Irons said there are lots of Christmas charities for unfortunate children, and often times people don’t think about the elderly. “It’s very moving to see the seniors see the gifts, because they’re not expecting anything at all like that,” he said. “Just to see the senior’s expression and see that they’re very grateful for anything at all is pretty neat. It’s a great way to give back to the seniors in the community when they get forgotten around the holiday.” Through Be a Santa to a Senior, Hamilton and Boone counties have collected more than 5,000 gifts. Walgreen’s Christmas trees will be up until Dec. 16. At that time they will be taken down and all the gifts sent to HISC to be wrapped and delivered. For more information, contact Irons at chris. irons@homeinstead.com or visit www.beasantatoasenior.com.

The public seemingly skips Thanksgiving as the holiday focus shifts from Halloween to Christmas. What gets you into the festive holiday spirit like music?

Fantastic finish – Noblesville’s Conor Daly, far right, finished off the racing year on the podium at Yas Marina Circuit and ended up third in the GP3 championship. Daly said some things out of his control kept him out of the fight for the championship title this year, but that is part of racing. “I’m happy with what we’ve accomplished,” he stated. Following his race, Daly remained in Abu Dhabi and was able to do GP2 testing on the Yas Marina Circuit. (Submitted photo) City ranked 8th-best place to live – NerdWallet, a consumer advocacy Website, has analyzed national and statewide data to determine the best places in Indiana for raising a family. Hamilton County was home to the No. 1 (Carmel) and No. 2 (Fishers) best towns for young families. Noblesville ranked No. 8 on the list. “After the population nearly doubled last decade, Noblesville became the 14th largest city or town in the entire state. Local attractions in Noblesville include Klipsch Music Center – the largest outdoor music venue in the state – and several parks, including Morse Park and Beach and a 23-acre park with a disc golf course,” NerdWallet wrote on its assessment of the city. The overall score for each city was derived from the following measures: public school rating, median home value, ongoing cost of homeownership, median income and economic growth. 37 Indiana cities and towns designated as places by the U.S. Census were included in this analysis. Only places with a population greater than 25,000 were considered.

‘Sky’s the limit’ for winner news@currentnoblesville.com Noblesville’s Mouhamadou “Mo” Fall said “this gives me options and opens a lot of doors” after winning $98,684 in the lottery Hoosier Lotto. The insurance salesman purchased his jackpotwinning Cash 5 ticket in Yorktown at BP at 8913 W. Smith St. while working. Fall plans to do his research and proceed slowly, but ultimately hopes his windfall will move him closer to fulfilling his dream of being in business for himself eventually. He’s not making any career moves just yet, but is continuing to work toward a goal of opening his own

insurance agency one day. Fall is determined to put his winnings to work for him in that capacity but says he needs “to think about it” before doing anything. “You catch once-in-a-lifetime only once in a lifetime,” said Fall. Fall’s Cash 5 ticket matched all five numbers in the Nov. 1 drawing. The jackpot for that drawing was actually $197,000 and change, but for the first time since Cash 5 launched in November 2012, the drawing produced two jackpot-winning tickets. Michigan City steel worker Christopher Lane also matched all five numbers in the Nov. 1 drawing, so the two winners split the jackpot and received $98,684 each before taxes.

‘Giving Tree’ rooted with Logan

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

With the family and friends of former mayor Patricia Logan in attendance, Mayor John Ditslear unveiled the “The Giving philanthropy Tree” – a plaque in the lobby of City Hall that lists the people and special events for whom a tree has been purchased to be planted in a city park. Logan’s is the first name listed on the plaque. “After Pat passed away (at age 79 in 2011), the city decided to plant a tree in her honor. Her family chose a serviceberry to be planted in Seminary Park,” Ditslear said. “She was a tremendous inspiration to so many of us and was instrumental in successfully leading the city during the eight years of her service as mayor. We all still miss her just as much today, and I know she and Jack are here with us in spirit.” Ditslear said the city has had a tree dedication program for some time in which people or organizations may purchase a tree to be planted in a city park in honor or memory of a person or a special event. The tree would then have a small plaque that listed the name of that person

Fall

or special event. Parks Director Don Seal came up with the idea of having a large plaque with individually engraved leaves to commemorate the individuals and special events for whom and for which a tree was purchased. On Oct. 24 Ditslear officially dedicated Logan’s memorial tree. “Pat’s engraved leaf reads: In remembrance; Mayor Patricia Logan; Positive Attitude & Integrity; 1980 – 1988,” Ditslear said. “If you didn’t have the honor of knowing Pat, this describes her perfectly. She always was positive – about the city, about her family and about the community of Noblesville. And, she had complete integrity. She was a role model for me and many others in this city.” In addition to Logan’s leaf, Ditslear announced two additional leaves that will be added to the plaque: one in memory of Bill Phillips, purchased by his friends, and the other in memory of Heath Adam Biddle, infant son of Noblesville Firefighter Adam Biddle and his wife, Ann, bought by the Noblesville Fire Dept.

Helmer Scientific employees describe their volunteering and service trips:

A global impact

Helmer Scientific’s employees volunteer locally and internationally By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Helmer Scientific is about impact – the impact on the science industry to improve and save lives; the financial impact of becover story ing a growing business, leading manufacturer and global distributor of laboratory equipment; and the impact of service on others. In a ceremony at the Indiana Statehouse last month, Helmer Scientific, 144000 Bergen Blvd., Noblesville, was honored with the 2013 Governor’s Service Award for Corporate Service, the most prestigious award for volunteer service. Helmer Scientific was recognized for its demonstration of the very best practices in employee volunteer programs and impact for the local community. Programs of the organization include charitable giving, community service and corporate volunteer opportunities. “We’ve always been philanthropic. We’ve done it in such a way that’s quiet, humble. We’re going to do it if anyone cares or not,” said David Helmer, owner of the family business which has been operHelmer ating for 36 years. In 2003, Helmer said he believed he was missing out on ways to energize more people and started talking with employees. “I want to increase awareness of what generosity can do in a company and individual’s life,” he said. “My desire was to have it grow naturally. As a result I think it started to stir some people.” Helmer Global Initiatives, the corporate social responsibility program of Helmer Scientific, was

initiated later that year. “The mission is to spread a culture of generosity by engaging individuals and organizations locally and globally at their highest level of capability to provide aid and justice for poor and vulnerable people,” Helmer said. “I don’t want to comfort the comfortable so we’re going to the hard places.” Helmer Global Initiatives Director of Development Nataliya Mazur said the goal is to “go into communities and be influential there.” “People do what is significant to them,” she said. “People are so open to help and to serve it is amazing.” Mazur now works to cultivate people for service trips three, five and 10 years down the road.

“It’s a big step for quite a few people,” she said. “People want to do this; we’re just providing the environment.” Through international service and expertisesharing trips to Ukraine, Rwanda, Guatemala and Haiti, employees get a better understanding of poverty. “Poverty in the United States is very different than in developing countries,” she said, adding when employees return they have a new appreciation for what they have. “This environment is completely different – see real need and struggle right before them. You can’t fix it or forget about it. That causes change to a person’s soul. When they come back to their own place it gives them a different perspective,” Helmer said. “It’s not a vacation. It’s uncomfortable.” Helmer said every employee is a part of the effort because since its inception, at least 10 percent of Helmer Scientific’s net profit has been used to make an impact on society through active philanthropy and volunteerism. “What they are doing is making a difference. Just by stepping up and doing a good job they are a part of it,” he said, adding the level of volunteerism is left up to each individual. “We provide opportunities for people to experience personal meaning in a different way. For some it awakens their sense of service.” Helmer said local efforts are important because “this is our community, this is where we live.” He added that it also provides an easier way for individuals to become engaged with the community and their peers outside of work. Helmer said the generosity philosophy is significant for morale and helps the company with recruiting and retention. “We’re interested in having our people engage in something that is greater than themselves,” he said. “It is not just about doing good. It is about effecting change.”

“Now that my fourth son is old enough to be actively involved in the writing process, we have volunteered to be pen pals for one of the children that Helmer sponsors through Compassion.”

Sandie Anselm, regional sales representative

“It is great to better know someone who you spend all day with at work through volunteering. Personal relationships improve business relationships.”

Kenny Wilson, mechanical engineering technician

“(Visiting Ukrainian families) was one of the most impressive experiences for me during the trip. We would go to a home and the host, having nothing, tried to give you at least something to make you feel welcome.”

Donna Stephens, master assembler

“I expected it to be bad, but not as bad as the reality of it was. The first day at the orphanage was truly shocking for me and it took a while to adjust to the environment… The impact was so heartfelt that their desire to be engaged and to interact with the team increased daily. The few hours spent in their presence each morning were impactful enough to evoke joy, profound introspection, sporadic discomfort and deep sorrow amongst team members. To my amazement we had all surrendered our egos, and instead traded our vulnerabilities for the success of our trip.”

Leonce Jean-Baptiste, regional sales representative

“Since returning home, seeking ways to support and influence business owners in Rwanda has now become a goal of mine. I continue to communicate with business owners who participated in the workshop and assist those whom I have developed a relationship with.”

Aaron Stout, global sales director

“We plan on making a big difference in a lot of people’s lives who are currently struggling with poverty. Our talents used here will be enabling them to provide there.”

Over the past several years, these pithy editorials have influenced public policy and community affairs by simply asserting a position. A busy intersection became less dangerous with the installation of a traffic light. Cursive handwriting remained in school curriculum. Prospective businesses were moved to more appropriate locations. Mass tragedies were mourned and misbehaving politicians were removed from their political pedestals. Accolades were given to generous organizations, philanthropists and individuals who made a difference in our community. For better or worse, pop-culture, current trends and lifestyle choices got their turn in the spotlight. Hoosier heritage was at most times prideful and even pitiful on a few occasions. Venting and outrage occurred during some election years along with elation during others. Goodbyes and farewells were said as welcomes were also extended.

Fair dealing Commentary by Terry Anker LAX shooter Paul Ciancia, a 23-year-old Catholic school graduate and son of a well-regarded public safety official, believed that the Transportation Security Agency had abused its authority over the American public. Whether revolutionary or anti-social zealot, this young man is emblematic of a growing mood among many who realize the promise of opportunity in America is not guaranteed. Confidence in our leaders is at all-time low and the airwaves are filled with examples of abundant equivocation on the part of those in whom we have invested our trust. I have never been much of a revolutionary myself – when in college in student leadership we were much more likely to work with the administrators than to chain ourselves to the president’s office. And the question remains, can one ever justify terror whether a radical or not? But we always believed that those in power included the dissent in their consideration. It did not seem that their power was used to suppress our point of view.

Government is a good thing, creating the framework that enables civil society to operate. But those governed have to believe that this investiture of power is just. The accusation of illegal eavesdropping in the private sector has led to the immediate firing of the low-level staff involved, to extensive criminal investigations, to the closing of the 168-year-old newspaper where they worked, and to the public interrogation of the 80-year-old owner who ultimately managed the staff along with tens of thousands of other employees. Meanwhile, a federal agency (NSA) spied on millions of Americans, foreign leaders and, according to recent report, the ex-wives and in-laws of interested government employees, yet no one is being asked to account. Their boss, President Obama, has not been called to testify. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

Have you heard about the Humane Society for Hamilton County’s Survivor Program? If you haven’t, you should know it’s grossly underfunded. You should also know you can make a difference. Current, Kingston’s Music Showcase and 3Ds Pub & Café are teaming to benefit the Survivor Program with an evening of dining, dancing and donating. It all unfolds at 6 p.m. Nov. 27 at 3Ds, 13644 N. Meridian St., Carmel. Yes, it’s a chance to pay forward the night before Thanksgiving. Please consider joining the crowd as we all try to make a difference for the canines and felines that are very much in need. If you’re not headed out of town, we’d love to have you join us. If you have family or friends coming into town for the holiday weekend, please consider bringing them. Barometer Soup is donating the performance, and here’s why: Some of the animals arriving at the society are in need of immediate, emergency medical care, some of it lifesaving. It boils down to a second chance for the patients. There simply is not enough money to help every injured or sickly animal. If a dog is hit by a car, in order to save the pooch’s life it will take every bit of $2,500 or more, and so every dime raised at this event will go toward providing the medical care needed. While there is no cover charge for this fundraiser, donations gladly will be accepted at the door. Please help us help the Humane Society beef up the Survivor Program. By the way, we’re told some furry “celebrities” may make an appearance. If you need additional incentive, your donations are, indeed, tax-deductible. We’re strongly with the Humane Society on this: We believe the world is a much better place with these pets in it. For more information, please call the society at 773-4974.

Last week you may recall reading about my younger son assaulting his brother half way between Louisville and Indianapolis humor and the subsequent improvement in their relationship. What I didn’t mention was another unforeseen positive consequence of what is now known as the “Fight of 2013.” After Andrew punched his teasing sibling in the temple, my husband and I grounded him for one week. No friends to play with, no leaving the house other than for school or practices, and most significantly, at least in his 12-year-old eyes, no electronics of any kind. We are cruel parents, indeed. Not surprisingly, this last bit of torture took its toll. Andrew complained, moped, nagged and proclaimed his innocence in a desperate attempt for amnesty and a rescinding of the Xbox ban. “You’re the one who’s always telling me to fight back, and now you’re punishing me for it? It’s not fair!”; “He’s always hitting me and you never do anything to him! It’s not fair!”; “Argh! I’m so booo-rrred! It’s not fair!” Tough cookies, Andrew. Life isn’t fair, get used to it. And guess what? He did. He broke out some clay and began creating amazing aliens and other creatures. He rode his bike and walked the dog. He, gulp, read a book. He even enlisted his twin sister and former-nemesis teenage brother to create a pillow-avalanche scenario in the

T&H

basement where they taught our Labrador to perform search and rescue missions. I know! What’s more, the rest of the kids followed suit. Whether in solidarity for their imprisoned comrade or simply because his activities looked like more fun, they too spent a lot less time engrossed in their computers, Kindles, and i-paraphernalia. It’s like they suddenly remembered they had imaginations and how to use them! Coincidentally, my brother-in-law informed me at taekwondo that he was experiencing a similar phenomenon at his house. They, too, had instituted “Amish Week” as a punishment for their 8-yearold, and were amazed to see him returning to “the good ol’ days” prior to mass electronics. So what did I learn as a parent through all of this? For starters, my children are addicts. Secondly, as adults, Doo and I can break the cycle if we choose. Well, little Wilsons, we choose. Yes, Andrew had to hit rock bottom for us to realize there was a major problem, but now the jig is up. I am pleased to report that we have already implemented steps (12 actually) to ensure all of our kids are on the road to video-game recovery. Don’t know how long it will last, but it’s a start. Peace out.

French revolution comes to Beef & Boards’ stage

By Patricia Rettig • news@currentnoblesville.com It’s a particularly busy school year for two talented young performers from Carmel who are currently on stage in Beef theatre & Boards Dinner Theatre’s premiere production of Les Misérables. Beef & Boards. As young Cosette, Anja Reese portrays the girl who has become the iconic image of Les Misérables – orphaned, poor and pale. But this Clay Middle School eighth-grader is feeling better than ever after being able to return to performing. “Last year I had nodules on my vocal chords,” Anja, 13, said. “I had to rest my voice and I wasn’t able to participate in musical theatre for a while, which wasn’t easy.” With the help of a vocal therapist, Anja is able to sing without the nodules, allowing her to make her debut at Beef & Boards in one of her favorite musicals. “From a very young age, I have always loved performing,” she said. “I also enjoyed seeing Broadway shows and listening to their soundtracks. It was truly magical to me.” Although this is her first show at Beef & Boards, Anja has been seen in several regional productions, and says it is a dream of hers to perform on Broadway. Returning to the Beef & Boards stage is Kendall Greene, 11, who was a munchkin in last season’s production of The Wizard of Oz. “I love to entertain,” the Creekside Middle School student said. “I love to dance,” she added, noting she’s particularly proud of earning first place at two different dance competitions. Kendall is a member of the Edge Force Competition Team at Performer’s Edge Studio. It was her love of dance, in fact, that brought her to Beef & Boards. “My dance teacher suggested (I) audition,” Kendall said. In addition to Anja and Kendall, the epic

production features four Broadway performers in the cast, is now on stage at Beef & Boards through Nov. 24. Set in France and based on the novel by Victor Hugo, the compelling story centers on Jean Valjean, who is released from the harsh 19-year prison sentence he received for stealing a loaf of bread. Although freed, he remains an outcast until he breaks his parole and assumes a different identity. Embarking on a new life, Valjean becomes a respectable citizen and is even elected mayor before he agrees to raise the child of a dying woman who had worked in his factory. Javert, an officer obsessed with justice who has pursued Valjean since he broke parole, discovers the truth about his changed identity and attempts to capture the former convict. Valjean flees with young Cosette and becomes a father to her, but even he can’t protect her heart from being stolen by a young and passionate revolutionary as the French civil unrest builds. Making his Beef & Boards debut in the iconic role of Jean Valjean is Gregg Goodbrod, a member of the original Broadway cast of “Thoroughly

Modern Millie.” Also making their Beef & Boards debuts are Joe Tokarz in the role of the relentless Inspector Javert, Whitney Meyer as Cosette and Stephanie Torns, who played Elphaba in “Wicked” on Broadway, as Eponine. Returning to the Beef & Boards stage are Sarah Hund as Fantine, Dominic Sheahan-Stahl as Marius Pontmercy, Annie Edgerton (who performs the role of Rosie in “Mama Mia” on Broadway) as Madame Thénardier and Douglas E. Stark as Monsieur Thénardier. Scott Beck of Lafayette, Ind., who was in the Broadway companies of “Grease,” “Smokey Joe’s Café,” and “Saturday Night Fever,” plays the role of the factory foreman. Tickets range from $37.50 to $62.50 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet, a fruit and salad bar and a drink. Discounts are available for children and groups of 20 or more. Parking is free.

Unless you are from the Scandinavian upper Midwest, then it’s just called a bar. Bars have evolved from most any pie or candy imaginable and have been a regular part of our diet from childhood. So why use bars as a tailgate treat? Bars are great for tailgating because they are easy to make, easy to preserve, easy to transport and best of all – easy to eat. You generally don’t need a fork or even a plate to eat bars – just use your hands. When the first edition of The Tailgater’s Handbook was written, a friend of ours named Marie Simmons offered us her collection of delicious bar recipes from her book “Bar Cookies A to Z.” Simmons was food editor for “Cuisine” magazine at the time and has also been a columnist for “Bon Appetit” magazine and the Los Angeles Times. Here is an adaptation of one of Marie’s bar recipes - great for tailgating or the upcoming holiday season. Sticky Pecan Bars

purpose flour, 1/3 cup sugar, pinch of salt, 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter (cut into pieces), 1 large egg yolk Filling Ingredients: 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup dark corn syrup, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups large pecan halves Crust Preparation: Combine flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. With motor running, gradually add butter through the feed tube and process until blended. Add egg yolk and continue until fully mixed; set aside. Turn mixture out into lightly buttered 9-inch square pan and press dough into the pan evenly with 1/4 inch up the sides. Refrigerate until ready to bake. Filling Preparation: In medium-sized bowl stir flour and brown sugar together. Add corn syrup, eggs and vanilla; whisk until blended. Spread pecans over crust in an even layer and pour the filling over everything. Baking: Oven should be preheated to 400 degrees. Bake 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 25 more minutes, or until the filling is firm. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

Bach the soundtrack for dancers

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Nessarose Thropp, the woman who becomes the Wicked Witch of the East. “I am so happy to be back home in Indiana. As an actor, I don’t get to spend much time at home, let alone for the holidays, so I’m so thankful for the extended visit,” Behny said. “There really is ‘no place like home.’ I can make anywhere

homey, including hotel rooms, but nothing can compare to the safety and comfort of your childhood home and being able to spend quality time with friends and family.” The Silver Lake, Ind., native said her parents, in-laws and best friend still live in northern Indiana. Her sister and extended family live in the Indianapolis area. “I have many friends still there, so this truly will be a homecoming,” she said. “I have professors and friends from both my college, Ball State University, and high school, Warsaw High School, coming to support ‘Wicked.’ In fact, at one matinee alone, 17 family members and 30 high school theatre students will be in the audience.” One of her favorite things about Indiana is the pace of life. “As much as I enjoy the hustle and bustle of (New York City) and the transient life of an actor, I miss being rooted in a community that takes their time,” she said. “I also miss the warm smiles and hellos from perfect strangers on the street.” “The best part of my job is traveling the country and getting paid to do what I love. I love traveling and learning about culture in other cities, and I Iove that my job brings me close to home,” she said. “I also love interacting with the fans of ‘Wicked,’ doing Q & As and workshops that further impact people for the better.” For more information, visit www.ticketmaster. com/wicked or call (800) 982-2787.

Keep your resolutions going Commentary by April Conard

The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it comes the baking, the family feasts and the parties. Of course, that will fitness include New Years Eve. What is the first thing you think about when you think New Year … maybe resolutions? Most of us will make some kind of healthbased New Year’s resolution. It might be to give up a forbidden food, utilize that gym membership, or even join one. With these resolutions in the back of our minds, it makes it much easier to devour every holiday treat and skip your workout. You can do this with little or no guilt because in the New Year, you will get those eating habits in check. You will do cardio and strength training 5 days a week to make up for lost time. You can start over in the New Year, so why not let it all go for awhile, it’s the holidays! Call me crazy but here is a thought, how about making your new year’s resolution to continue your healthy lifestyle, not start it. To increase the cardio workouts you are already doing, to add more vegetables to your already good eating habits. Hear me out before you

start justifying your poor choice of food and your lack of time spent exercising. I don’t want you to rob yourself of this special time and that includes some yummy treats. It also includes more time with family and friends, which means a little less time at the gym. Your plan of action is moderation. Make choices; eat sensibly all day when your plans include a party. You may need to skip the gym to spend time with family but instead of sitting around eating leftovers, organize a football game. If you have to skip your aerobics class because your shopping list is long, park far from the mall entrance and return to your car after each purchase. Go into the holidays knowing you will not let your healthy habits fall by the wayside. Realize how much farther along you will be into your fitness journey without two months off. This might not be the time to shed the pounds but it doesn’t have to be the time to gain them.

Free lung scans offered to military vets news@currentnoblesville.com In honor of American veterans and in observance of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Franciscan St. Francis Health is prevention offering free lung scans to at-risk veterans during the month of November. Veterans have a 25 to 50 percent higher risk of lung cancer than civilian populations due to higher smoking rates and exposure to known carcinogens during active duty, such as Agent Orange, asbestos and battlefield combustibles. According to the Lung Cancer Alliance, currently 32.2 percent of active duty military personnel smoke versus 19.8 percent of adults in the civilian population and 22 percent of veterans. “As a lung cancer screening center, we believe it’s important that we provide safe screenings to at-risk populations,” said Nadeem Ikhlaque, M.D., lung cancer program medical director at Franciscan St. Francis Cancer Center. “Screening for lung cancer using low-dose radiation CT scans has the potential to save thousands of lives. We encourage all veterans to learn more about their risk and to consider a lung screening.” To qualify for the free screening, veterans must be between the ages of 55 and 75 and a long-time smoker. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 1-877-888-1777.

Let’s agree that insurance is tough to understand. Start with the fact that people in general don’t like the subject, and Insurance when we add politics to the mix we have a perfect storm. Much of recent news coverage of Obamacare has been focused on election-year presidential promises that claimed everyone could keep their existing health insurance policy if they liked it. Clearly, that wasn’t 100 percent correct. President Barack Obama should have said “most” instead of “all.” But he didn’t. For a moment, please step outside the political echo chamber and into the health insurance strategy meetings that I am a part of. Let me share some of the larger picture that is guiding insurance policy. First, let’s look at the size of the problem. The particular issue of policy cancellation affects less than 4 percent of Americans - those who buy individual health insurance directly, rather than the 80 percent who get it from their jobs or government programs, or the 15 percent who have no health insurance at all. As an insurance professional, I know that some plans have always been risks – they’re cheap, but they offer poor coverage. People with this minimal insurance often think they are covered, then they go bankrupt when their medical bills start piling up. But not all the insurance plans being canceled are these minimal coverage plans. Some people really do like their plans, and they’re losing them because of new Obamacare rules. Why? The law standardizes health plans by mandating a basic set of minimum essential benefits

that some of today’s insurance products don’t cover. It also limits annual out-of-pocket expenses to $6,350 for a single person. Plans that do not reflect these changes are not allowed. What if you get dropped? Shop around. You may be able to get help paying for your insurance through Obamacare subsidies, which are available on a sliding scale through the federal marketplace to anyone who earns up to four times the federal poverty level or about $46,000 for a single person this year. Insurance companies have always been quick to discontinue unprofitable plans, cancel coverage for insureds with excessive claims, change benefits or raise prices. This is not very different. This disruption is happening despite Obama saying, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” We insurance advisors always knew that this promise could never be kept. We knew that with the law getting rid of insurance with lesser benefits and weaker financial protections, that there would be some disappointed consumers. While you may or may not agree with the changes, at their core the new rules follow basically sound risk management principles. Short term, it is uncomfortable for those who can’t get what they have always had. Long term, it may help. There is a storm blowing through our world of health insurance, and some people will pay more and some will pay less.

What are your beliefs?

Commentary by Kristen Boice

What drives your self-worth? What are the types of messages you tell yourself? Do you tell yourself things like, “You are fat, look self at you! You are stupid. What is wrong with you? You are not good enough. You have no friends. No one is going to like me when they find out who I really am. I am so ugly. I am a loser.” These are just a snapshot of some of the things we tell ourselves. We wouldn’t talk to our friends the way we talk to ourselves. It is important to explore when and where these messages come from. Chances are they started when you were young. We start off as pure souls and then begin to layer ourselves with messages we receive from our families, society and other important people in our lives. We don’t want to blame others for our feelings or beliefs because we are ultimately responsible for them. We want to unpack them in order to grow. We have the opportunity to change these beliefs. It begins with a desire and willingness to work on self-acceptance. We start by building awareness, reflecting and exploring. I highly recommend getting a notebook or journal. 1. Write down the beliefs you have about yourself. What are the statements you tell yourself when you look in the mirror or when you are feeling anxious or afraid?

2. Explore where these beliefs started. Can you picture someone telling you this negative statement? Did your parents feel this way about themselves and pass it on to you? Did you pick it up from societal messages? Write out your answers. 3. Ask yourself, “How is this belief serving me?” Chances are this isn’t serving you at all. It is keeping you stuck and stealing your joy. 4. Write yourself a letter. This may sound silly but it works if you are willing to trust the process. Write yourself a loving, compassionate note filled with grace (as if you were writing it to a friend) about everything you love about you. Look for the good. Use this letter whenever the negative self-talk starts coming up. 5. Give yourself permission to not be perfect. We learn from our mistakes and imperfections. What would we learn and how much would we grow if we were all perfect? Not much. Give yourself grace when you “mess up.” It’s okay. Learn from it and let it go.

Enlarged shower and closet highlight master bath Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING BATHROOM: This home is located in the Reserve at Geist subdivision in Fishers. The homeowners purchased blueprint for their home 7 years ago improvement and did not like the master bathroom. “The shower was too small, and the master closet was also too small for two to share.” ADDING SPACE: “At first the main focus was on the master bathroom and rearranging the master closet,” stated the owner. “Then our designer suggested we utilize the large bonus room off the master bedroom as a second master closet. We were using it as an office, but there was plenty of room to add the closet.” RECONFIGURING FLOORPLAN: Reconfiguring the footprint of the master bath created the functionality they were seeking. The former tub area became the space for the enlarged shower, with glass blocks filling the window space to allow light in while preserving privacy. Double vanities flank each side of the shower, and the soaking tub was moved to the space behind the door. “The bathroom feels bigger now, even though we have the same footprint,” stated the homeowner. BATH DETAILS: Finishes in the remodel were meant to reflect a “cosmopolitan Vegas” look. Maple cabinets in a Dolce finish were complimented by the Shitake granite and the Stark Tortora floor tile. The vanity backsplash was cov-

ered in Legno glass Stria tile, the same tile used as an accent in the tub and shower. The shower’s unique accent tile pattern is highlighted by the glass block windows and the 8 x 24-inch wall tile. The plumbing fixtures were chosen for their contemporary style. CLOSET DETAILS: A custom closet system was added to the bonus room, along with a center island of drawers and built-in desk area. “The closet turned out to be my favorite part of the

remodel,” said the homeowner. “I love the shoe rack and the island. And there is privacy for the office area because we added doors.” Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling Indy, a fullservice design/build remodeling firm serving Boone, Hamilton, and Marion Counties.
