Work progresses on Grand Junction By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com As Grand Park reaches its final stages and the U.S. 31 Major Moves construction nears its final two years, one other massive project in Westfield is beginning to take shape. During the Christmas season, the city demolished the first property it acquired for the construction of Grand Junction. Parks Director Melody Jones said that since then, the city has purchased another five properties. Once the buildings have been tested for asbestos, the city plans to demolish them this spring. “We have 10 parcels to purchase and five partials,” she said. “The city has acquired almost a block and a half of the old downtown area.” Before the Grand Junction project can begin, Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said the city must buy 27 parcels. Two parcels belong to the City of Noblesville along Midland Trace Trail and five properties require only a portion of the parcel. This month, the plaza plan will be 50-percent developed, which means the city can begin to acquire all the necessary, and numerous, permits. The Grand Junction Task Force Group will begin the final design of the plaza with engineers and designers. “They’ll battle over the final specifications and plans for the project,” Cook said. “Then we can move on to construction in the next couple of years.” “We’re anxious to see where formal design ends up,” Jones said. To date, Jones said the city had spent $962,401 to buy the land, test for asbestos and perform demolition. “None of it came from taxpayers,” she said, adding funds were used from bond proceeds, tax increment finance funding and park impact fees.
Social media – The Westfield Police Dept. has joined Facebook and Twitter to help promote a better relationship with the public and to open communication between the department and the community that it serves. Officials said they would be able to expedite press releases, Amber alerts, road closings, suspect descriptions, etc., and give information, such as its child car seat program and the gun permit application process, in a more convenient venue. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/WestfieldPD or follow @ WestfieldPolice. Taxpayer flexibility – Legislation authored by State Sens. Pat Miller (R-Indianapolis) and Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville) to provide Hoosiers with greater flexibility when paying property taxes passed the Senate on Feb. 14 by a 48-0 vote. Senate Bill 275 makes it possible for Indiana homeowners to pay their property taxes in monthly installments rather than as a lump sum, if they choose to do so.
Home sales up – Nearly 1,900 homes pended in January, with all but one Central Indiana county reporting increased sales compared to the same time last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Co. Overall, January 2013 pended home sales rose 17.2 percent over January 2012, an increase of 278 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks.
Jones said the remaining properties' appraised values combined equalled $1,169,425. “If everything is under control and bought by 2014, construction can begin in 2015,” she said. The 120-acre Grand Junction will be
south of Jersey Street between Mill and South Union streets. Grand Junction is planned to include trails, wetlands, a sled hill, plazas, an arts garden, a water play area, a nature play area, a great lawn, a performance venue, a play lawn and a vendor area.
And the surveys say … no change – In the recent 2014-15 Westfield Washington Schools calendar survey, the majority of respondents favored staying with a traditional calendar with dates similar to the 2013-14 calendar. “Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2014-15 calendar survey,” Supt. Mark Keen said. “I especially appreciate all the comments that were provided.” There were 724 respondents, of which 69.4 percent were parents and community members. Calendar preference responses were: option 1: replication of 2013-14 calendar – 42.7 percent; option 2: start at the end of July – 27.1 percent; option 3: start in early August – 30.2 percent. Keen will draft the calendar based on the feedback and review with the Westfield Classroom Teachers Association before presenting it to the Board of School Trustees for adoption consideration. “We’ll conduct another survey in 2014 for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years,” he said. “This will allow us to see how many schools may have gone to the balanced calendar and how their decisions may or may not impact us.”

New gene identified – A study combining genetic data with brain imaging, designed to identify genes associated with the amyloid plaque deposits found in Alzheimer’s disease patients, has not only identified the APOE gene – long associated with development of Alzheimer’s – but has uncovered an association with a second gene, called BCHE. A national research team, led by scientists at the Indiana University School of Medicine, reported the results of the study, which is believed to be the first genome-wide association study of plaque deposits using a specialized PET scan tracer that binds to amyloid.

Have a Better Spring.

Best Buddies hit basketball court By Anna Skinner • news@currentinwestfield.com On Feb. 12, the Student Impact basketball finals were played in the Westfield High School gym, but the real action took place during the break between the two games when Westfield’s Best Buddies students played a basketball game as well. For the past five years, the Best Buddies students, together with their matched student peers, have split up into two teams and played a basketball game between the Student Impact finals games. “Student Impact invites us to play because they want to celebrate all of the students’ accomplishments, and this group of kids doesn’t usually get to play for a cheering audience,” Michelle Goudy, the faculty Best Buddies adviser, said. “It gives them (the Best Buddies) a sense of accomplishment and of feeling worthy and being a part of the student body.”
Last year during the Best Buddies game, the Lion’s Club surprised the group with a check for about $200 and $150 worth of gift cards from Pizza Hut. Special Education Adviser Kim Massaro used the money for equipment for the classroom and the gift cards for Best Buddies parties. But, it’s not just the Best Buddies students that enjoy the game, the peer students working with them enjoy playing with the group of Best Buddies students as well. “No matter what, when I’m with them I will always have a smile on my face because they will always make me happy,” WHS junior Abbie Christianson said. Despite everyday challenges, this group of students gets to play for the parents and the student body each year during the Student Impact finals. Massaro and Goudy said that the Best Buddies group loved to be a part of the student body and that they really looked forward to the game each year.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Pretrial Discovery Devices In all legal proceedings, the exchange of information is crucial to being able to analyze and evaluate the overall positions of each party and to establish the elements to be considered and ultimately, divided or apportioned by agreement or by the Court. This process is referred to, generally, as discovery. Formal discovery tools exists for the parties to gather information from opposing parties and third parties for this purpose. Discovery is a pre-trial process that prepares a case for trial and equips the client and attorney with information necessary to present the case to the court and confirm the basis for your position in order to promote out-of-Court settlement. Discovery allows all parties to examine any information deemed relevant to the case. In divorce, for instance, discovery would normally involve the exchange of financial documents such as bank statements, pay stubs, mortgage applications, bonus reports, life insurance disclosures, property deeds – even letters, text messages, and voice mail recordings as well as children’s grades, attendance records and the like. Anything “reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence” is deemed discoverable. In many cases, Attorneys can agree to exchange discovery informally. In doing so, clients can save fees and time associated with drafting formal discovery and litigating any discovery disputes, presuming all sides are cooperative and forthcoming with the necessary information. More typically, each side will serve formal discovery requests, requiring the opposing party to verify the accuracy and completeness of his/her answers under oath and the penalties of perjury. This provides a basic snapshot of the

information and position of that party as, the answers can be used if needed to impeach testimony at trial or as the basis of a needed remedy subsequent to the divorce should the party later learn that certain marital assets were not disclosed during the divorce proceeding. A number of formal discovery tools exist and in family law cases; the most commonly utilized discovery devices include: interrogatories; requests for production of document; requests for admissions; and depositions. • Interrogatories are a formal set of written questions propounded by one litigant and required to be answered by an adversary, in order to clarify matters of fact and help to determine in advance what facts will be presented at any trial in the case. • Requests for Production of Documents is a legal request for documents, electronically stored information, or other tangible items. • Requests for Admissions set of statements sent from one litigant to an adversary, for the purpose of having the adversary admit or deny the statements or allegations therein. • Deposition is the out-of-court oral testimony of a witness that is reduced to writing for later use in court or for discovery purposes. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Love can land you in the doghouse, but ‘The Last Romance’ producers hope to help keep dogs out of them and in the park By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com In “The Last Romance,” Ralph Bellini and Carol Reynolds fall in love during a chance meeting at a dog park. Their chemistry onstage may seem so genuine because in real life, actors, Doug and Robin Peet have been in love for many years. “It’s fun to play we’re in love – it’s acting,” Doug joked. The married couple has shared the stage as leads in many shows including “Same Time Next Year,” “Moon Over Buffalo,” “Born Yesterday” and “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.” “It’s really special to be on stage together,” Robin said. “We practice lines together in the car or at lunchtime.” Joining the Peets onstage is their dog, Sebastian, who is making his acting debut. “He acts seasoned. He didn’t miss a line tonight,” Doug joked. The two said they auditioned for the show because of how well it was written. “There’s a lot of depth to it, emotion to it. It’s not slapstick, but there are a lot of comedic lines,” Doug said. “It’s a play most people can relate too. All that lovers want is to be in love, but it ain’t that simple, life gets in the way.” The play shows how a crush can make anyone feel young again, even a widower named Ralph. On an ordinary day in a routine life, Ralph decides to take a different path on his daily walk, one that leads him to an unexpected second chance at love. Relying on a renewed boyish charm, Ralph attempts to woo the elegant, but distant Carol. Defying Carol’s reticence, and his lonely sister’s jealousy, Ralph embarks on the trip of a lifetime and regains a happiness that seemed all but lost. Director Jan Jamison said the play was originally written for 70and 80-year-old actors. www.currentinwestfield.com
“It’s hard to find actors that age,” she said. “The play shows you can fall in love at any age… It’s full of emotions.” Jamison knew she wanted to direct this show when she read the script. “It’s one of the best written plays I had read in a long time,” she said. “When I read it, I said, ‘Oh, Andy will be perfect’ and I’ll work around his schedule.” Jamison Andy Morales met Jamison at a production of “The Pirates of Penzance” at Carmel Repertory Theater. “I’ve been in 15 shows since I moved here three years ago (from Cleveland),” he said. “They got their claws in me.” When Morales is not acting, he’s singing as a member of the Indianapolis Opera Chorus or serving as vocal director for a lot of local musicals. In “The Last Romance,” Morales portrays a young Ralph and sings Italian opera throughout the show. “I’m a tenor and can sing the high baritone parts of songs. It’s not full songs but all the little fun parts,” he said. “I like the smaller theater. The first operas were done in a space like this. I like the intimate setting, no microphones and keeping it simple.”

Fundraising for the 'friends' Matt Braun with Friends of Westfield Bark Park said the organization approached the Westfield Playhouse late last year with an opportunity to co-promote the Friends of Westfield Bark Park with the production of “The Last Romance.” “Our goal at this point in our organization’s ‘life’ was to continue to increase the community’s awareness that a committee of Westfield citizens, in partnership with Westfield Parks and Recreation, is actively pursuing the development of Osborne Park at 169th Street and Ditch Road,” he said. “We’re just excited to be involved,” Jamison said. “The dogs coming are eventually going to be members of the bark park.” The site plan would include four play areas of various sizes, in addition to a number of other non-dog-owner benefits including walking paths, playgrounds, picnic/ shelter facilities, and fishing in the existing pond. “After working with the playhouse over the past few weeks, the two groups have seen the value that the other provides and have become real ambassadors for each other’s programs. During this production run, the Playhouse will be graciously donating $2 from every ticket sale to the Friends organization, and we will be accepting donations at the playhouse during each show,” Braun said. “The Westfield Playhouse truly is one of the hidden gems of this community, and we encourage everyone to come out and support both organizations over the next few weeks.” February 26, 2013 | 11

The future USPS: All zipped up
Safe cities
It is our position that Carmel and Fishers should be commended for being recognized among the Top 100 Safest Cities in America. The ranking, compiled by NeighborhoodScout, looks at the number of property and violent crimes per 1,000 people for cities with more than 25,000 residents. NeighborhoodScout collects raw crime data from all 17,000 law enforcement agencies in America and then uses a relational database to more accurately determine the complete number and types of crimes that truly occur in each city or town. The mayors of both cities give credit to their police departments and the dedicated officers and civilians that work hard each day to keep the communities safe. The efforts of Crime Watch neighborhoods, the Citizens Police Academy and the Teen Academy are also credited with helping keep crime rates low in Carmel. Zionsville is not to be overlooked, as the city scores a safety index rating of 94 out of 100. A big thank you goes out to law enforcement officials and the citizens of these great communities for making them among the best places to live in America. Safe haven communities are becoming a rarity, and we are lucky to be living among the few.

Into the light
Commentary by Terry Anker
We are well served in our fine community to be the beneficiary of more than our fair share of community stewards. There are many who dedicate tireless hours to those victimized by predator or circumstance. Among them is Toby Stark, executive director of Chaucie’s Place – a Hamilton County facility dedicated to child advocacy focusing on the prevention of child abuse. Ever one to evangelize for the work of her organization, Ms. Stark convinced me to participate in a training program, Stewards of Children, aimed at educating “parents and any adults who work with children” about child sexual abuse prevention. In spite of my trepidation that the eveninglong class would lead to difficult emotional moments as folks tell of the kind of suffering perpetrated upon them as kids (which it does), I was greeted by a group of 20 or so adults eager to learn and help this indescribably worthy cause. The thoughtful coursework is divided into three sessions, each a video followed by workbooks and then discussion. The empirical statistics
are breathtaking. And, behind these numbers are people, families and youngsters, all seeking meaning from meaningless and brutal acts. Lisa Ridder, leader of the session, maneuvered the delicate topics with both deftness and respect, instilling a sense of awareness and urgency without creating suspicion or panic. Most abusers are trusted by the children and their families. They are relatives, teachers, coaches, religious and youth leaders. Too often, the institutions protect their employees and not those tikes in their care. Yet with a modicum of education, sensitivity and engagement, we can significantly reduce the incidence of these crimes and increase the fear in the perpetrator. Edmund Burke is attributed with saying, “Evil prevails when good men fail to act.” Could we add, “When we fail to bring evil into the light?” Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

There are some things the two of us just don’t get. Take, for instance, the U.S. Postal Service. In the wake of last year’s $15.9 billion loss came the news of the USPS forgoing Saturday delivery (except for packages and P.O. boxes). Smart move, and we applauded it recently in this space; it just makes good business sense. Then came last week’s report that the USPS is getting into the … wait for it … apparel business next year in an effort to improve its take. Men first, then a line for women. Yes, nothing says economic repair like the launch of a new “cutting-edge functional fashion” line. That’s what Steven Mills, the USPS’s licensing manager, termed it in a statement last week. Yes, the USPS has a license manager. We shuddered at it all. Repeatedly. Wouldn’t successfully negotiating even the most minor union concessions make just a wee bit more sense? After all, it wouldn’t necessitate renting a showroom in the Garment District in New York City, which is what the USPS is going to do, and we’re not exactly talking bargainbasement commercial real estate there. The folks at Northface, Eddie Bauer and Nike probably laughed their coattails off with news of this development. So, on the heels of increasing postage – yet again – last month, we now not only have the opportunity to pay more for stamps, but also soon to buy clothing that is said to accommodate an iPod. Huh. Isaac Crawford, CEO of Wahconah Group, Inc., which is going to manufacture the goods, told ABC News that we all should expect an “image-conscious, firstclass, high-end line.” Wow. Maybe it’s time for a new USPS motto: “Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds … and moving garments like never before.” Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Dog mess causes an epiphany Commentary by Danielle Wilson A couple of things ran through my mind as I was frantically searching for paper towel to clean up dog vomit in my bedroom recently: Why didn’t we go to Costco on Sunday to restock? and Is it too early for a Coors Light? Our puppy had already kept me awake half of the night with diarrhea, and my husband, Doo, was away on business, no doubt sleeping deeply in a comfortable four-poster. A breakfast beer seemed like a good option. Later, as I fought the urge to heave myself (it’s the smell that always gets me) and imagined various methods of torturing Doo once he returned, another thought occurred to me: Maybe this was God’s way of punishing me for not appreciating Doo. I have been kind of naggy lately, and with all the stress of work and kids and the dog, I haven’t gone out of my way to be nice to him. Basically, all I want to do when I get home each evening is eat chicken pot pie in silence, watch “Rattlesnake Nation,” and then go to sleep as soon as I can sneak away. And I’ve definitely taken Doo for granted. Instead of thanking him for doing dishes or buying crickets for the lizards, I complain about the laundry not being started or that the cat is out of litter. Admittedly, I’ve been a tad selfish, unloving and inconsiderate. I shouldn’t be taking all of my frustration
and anxiety out on Doo; after all, it’s really the dog that has turned me into a crazy lady. She’s significantly added to my already overflowing “to do” list by being one extra “person” who needs my love and attention. In reality, I should be thanking sweet baby Jesus that I have Doo in my life to take on the majority of her care (and to keep the liquor cabinet stocked). So, yes, I was exhausted and had to sop up a hot mess in a skirt and heels, but cursing Doo with every salty sailor swear word I could think of was probably not the right approach. Luckily for my marriage, my epiphany helped me clamp down on the bitterness and channel my misery into something more productive, like a column about the misfortunes of a temporary single mother with a puking puppy. One small victory, to be sure, but it’s a start. I believe God’s a prankster, and I’m choosing to believe that this morning’s incident was His/Her way of calling attention to how much I need my husband in my life. Doo can certainly drive me batty, but without him, I’d no doubt be a Costco groupie with a booze problem. Peace out.

Luckily, I’m habit-forming Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I don’t always shut the garage door when I get home. I always have three TV sets going at the same time when we sit down to dinner. I leave an inch of milk in the container so I don’t have to throw the carton away. My wife says these are bad habits. How judgmental is that? Who’s to say what a good habit is and what a bad habit is? I don’t think you can trust the people you are actually annoying to be objective about this. After 32 years of marriage, Mary Ellen told me the other day that my whistling was driving her crazy. “How long have you felt this way?” I asked. “Oh, just the last two or three… decades,” she told me. “Do I do it all the time?” “You were doing it under your breath duringt he movie “Les Miserables” the other night, which is pretty amazing. I didn’t think a human being could cry and whistle at the same time.” I denied this was a persistent problem and that it was really nothing more than an outward display of my always sunny disposition. But my wife was adamant. “You’ve whistled our entire marriage – when you are shaving, cleaning up in the basement, driving in the car. Most people don’t like to get up in the morning for their job. Name one other person who whistles on the way to work.” “I can name seven. Dopey, Grumpy,
Seeking the Pope’s position
Sleepy… (Nuts, I couldn’t remember all seven.) To prove my wife was wrong, I called my sister in New York to see if there was a history of whistling in my past. “Well, my friends did call our mom Whistler’s Mother, she said.” I asked Mary Ellen if there were any other habits she had never mentioned. “You always bounce your right leg. It started on our honeymoon. At first, I thought it was some kind of mating ritual. It hasn’t stopped for 32 years. You shake your leg when you watch TV, when you have dinner, when you read the paper, and at restaurants. Sometimes I just want to go into the garage, get a sledge hammer and crush your knee. “Wow, you’d do that to a guy while he was whistling?” “You make this little moaning, guttural noise in the bottom of your throat. I used to think it was kind of romantic, but you even do it when you clean out the kitty litter.” “Gee, if I’m that bad, why have you stayed married to me?” “Heaven knows. You must be habit forming.”

Commentary by Mike Redmond As a Roman Catholic male, I am eligible to become Pope. Granted, it’s something of a long shot, but just in case, I have prepared my application: “Howdy do, Buongiorno and Dominus Vobiscum from Indianapolis, Indiana, home of the world’s greatest automobile race and, should the white smoke puff in my favor, the next Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Primate of Italy, Servant of the Servants of God. “I’d like to state my case for papal office. As you can see from my resume, I am currently a freelance writer, part-time farmer and adjunct professor. This means I have plenty of spare time which I would gladly apply to Popeing. Popeitude. Being Pope. “You can also see that I have been something of a “free spirit” in my life, owing to a background in music, which I believe will bring a certain New World aesthetic to the leadership of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, to wit: “A. Papal Wardrobe – Let’s get rid of the ermine and jewels and go for something practical. I’m thinking bowling shirts with names over the pockets. Imagine how many hungry people we could feed, clothe, house and comfort with the money we’d save (and the fortune we’d get selling the old duds on eBay).
“B. Speaking of old duds, it’s time we got some younger people in the church hierarchy. By younger, I mean “less than the College of Cardinals’ current average age of 72.” A few wild and crazy 68-year-olds could really liven up the joint. “C. Downsizing: Do we really need our own country on all that valuable Roman real estate? Should a church even have borders? Let’s see about shutting down some castles and getting into a few floors of an office building somewhere. Indianapolis is a nice, central location for a North American branch. I can start the search right now if you'd like. That’s about it, I guess. I hope you don’t think that by joking around a little I’m being sacrilegious. I’m not. I love the church and I love being Catholic. I just think a new pope, elected not in a time of grief but in one of anticipation, could bring great and positive change to the church and the world, and maybe usher us into an era where the power of churches, all kinds of churches, is in the way they serve their flocks and not the other way around.

The Master • R, 144 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd Ambitious, vexing, jubilant and depressing, “The Master” is a film that neither Hollywood nor audiences quite knew what to do with. It was first touted as “the Scientology movie,” received respectful but somewhat puzzled reviews, and was then largely ignored by ticket buyers. But it scored three Oscar nominations for its wonderful acting, including Joaquin Phoenix, who I think gave the performance of the year. It is writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson’s first film since “There Will Be Blood,” and if there’s any mainstream filmmaker today who deserves to be called an auteur, it’s him. The tale is about Freddie Quell (Phoenix), an unhinged, alcoholic veteran struggling to assimilate back into society after World War II. He
stumbles into the den of Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the charismatic leader of a quasi-religious order called “The Cause,” and the two men each discover the other satisfies a yearning in themselves they didn’t even recognize. “The Master” is less concerned with plot than the strange, spinning dance between the pair, with other characters such as Dodd’s wife (Amy Adams) forced to resentfully orbit around the gravitational pull they share. It’s not always a smooth cinematic ride, but one worth taking. Movie: B Read more of Chris Lloyd’s review of current films and DVDs at www. captaincritic.blogspot.com or www. thefilmyap.com.

Skin removal could boost weight loss Commentary by Barry Eppley Q: I am 34-years-old, 5-feet-6-inces tall and weigh165 pounds. I have lost 54 pounds during the past year with diet and exercise. It has been tough, but I have done it, and I am determined to lose even more. My problem is that I now have an apron of skin and fat that hangs over and has started causing a lot of discomfort during any form of exercise. I am doing all I can from a diet and exercise standpoint. Should I go ahead with tummy tuck surgery now or wait until I lose more weight? A: Now that you have hit the proverbial wall and have an overhanging apron (pannus), I think you would benefit from a tummy tuck

now. The psychological benefits would be enormous and would empower you to lose the additional weight afterward. Tummy tuck surgery itself will cause some additional weight loss, usually in the range of three to seven pounds. An identical amount of weight loss can occur from the recovery process (burning calories to heal). This is why many tummy tuck patients like you lose 15 to 20 pounds by six to eight weeks after surgery. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

DOUGH Insurance / Real Estate
Telecommuters, are you covered? Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Abbey G. from Noblesville: My office allows me to work from home when I need to. Are there any insurance issues I need to worry about? Answer from Jamie Ianigro: If you have an ongoing arrangement that allows you to work at home in any capacity, you will be considered a telecommuter. The special privilege of reduced commuting also brings some special insurance considerations in play. Bringing your work home with you can have some unintended consequences. The main reason is because most homeowner’s policies severely restrict or exclude coverage for business property. This is further complicated by the fact that business property is usually pretty valuable. Business property could include anything your employer provides for you to work at home including computers, printers, phone equipment, valuable paperwork, etc. Liability issues can also arise when you’re working from home. A typical homeowner’s policy will completely exclude business related losses. A social guest slipping and falling is a simple, and common, claim that your homeowner’s policy will cover. Switch it around and make that guest a business guest and you can have liability issues for you and for your employer. Liability claims are never fun, but they’re a lot less fun when your homeowner’s policy excludes them. A stock to watch – This year, take a look at Cheniere Energy (LNG). According to MSN Money, the exporter of natural gas is the only company out there that currently has the license to do so in the U.S. – www.money. msn.com
Using your personal vehicle for job-related activities, like making deliveries or client calls, can also cause some issues. Most personal auto policies exclude job-related use. Driving to and from work would not fall under job-related use. Some examples of job-related use would be: picking up a client at the airport, running to the store to restock the office vending machine, driving to and from client appointments, etc. Now that you have a better idea of what you should be worried about, you should take a minute to document what you do so your employer and your independent insurance agent can make sure you’re covered properly. Make note of the following: • What routine job duties do you perform in your home? • Are any tasks hazardous? • Who visits your home because of your job? • Is a certain part of your home dedicated as a work area/office? • What equipment is used in your job? Who owns each piece of equipment? The answers to these questions will be a great start for you and your independent insurance agent to make sure you are adequately protected. Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to asktheadvisor@shepherdins.com.

Home prices expected to rise By Jim Litten • news@currentinwestfield.com The housing market in Central Indiana is off to a strong start in 2013. Nearly 1,900 homes pended in January, with all but one Central Indiana county reporting increased sales compared to the same time last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Co. Overall, January 2013 pended home sales rose 17.2 percent over January 2012, an increase of 278 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Hamilton County is among the areas experiencing increased sales. In January 2013, the number of pended homes jumped to 364 from 322 in January 2012. Even within the county, the housing market varies by city: • In Westfield, pended home sales dipped slightly from 51 homes in January 2012 to 50 homes in January 2013. • The inventory outlook in Westfield continwww.currentinwestfield.com
ues to improve. In January 2013, available homes for sale slipped to 191, a decrease of 108 homes compared to January 2012. • Buyers continue to find competitive prices. In January 2013, the average sales price was $223,917, declining 7.2 percent compared to January 2012. • Of the pended home sales in Westfield last month, one was priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; one was priced $500,000 to $999,999; 11 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 16 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 20 were priced $100,000 to $199,999 and one was priced at $99,999 or less. The market is slowly trending up, both nationally and here in Central Indiana. We anticipate prices will continue to creep up as investors and first-time homebuyers compete for bargainpriced homes.

Don’t let your participles hang Commentary by Jordan Fischer I heard a new accusation about Hoosiers recently: Apparently, we love our dangling participles. Furthermore, it’s been alleged that our grammatical dalliances are infecting the rest of the country. The nerve of the accusation, right? While I’m confident my participles are firmly fixed and double-bolted to the correct nouns, I thought the subject of dangling participles was worth an article. We’ve talked about participles before – a verb form which modifies nouns or noun phrases – so I won’t go into too much background on them. Since the present participle of a verb always ends in “-ing,” and the past tense can have a variety of endings, we’ll focus on present participles. The rules are the same. When used correctly, a participle or participle phrase acts as an adjective. For example: “Flipping through the magazine, I found an interesting article.” The participle phrase tells us what the speaker was doing when he or she found the article. When used incorrectly, participle phrases can create confusion, humorous or otherwise. In
this case, they are said to be “dangling,” as it is unclear what noun they are intended to modify. Here’s an example: “Jumping over the fence, the cow looked at me strangely.” While it’s not unthinkable that the narrator is describing an acrobatic cow, it’s more likely that he was talking about himself. However, the dangling participle makes this unclear. A more effective way of writing this sentence would be: “Jumping over the fence, I received a strange look from a cow.” Dangling participles can appear anywhere in a sentence. When they do, they’re typically caused by a lack of attention to detail. The fix is simple: Move the participle so that confusion is alleviated. Often this can be accomplished by placing the participle as close as possible to its intended noun. Do this, and your participles should be dangle-free. Oh, and watch out for jumping cows. They’re a menace.
When used correctly, a participle or participle phrase acts as an adjective.

LIFESTYLE Crafts / Shopping
Kid-friendly spring-time creations Commentary by Ashley Phipps I love crafts that I can do with my kids. First, because it gives us something to do that we all love and enjoy working on. Second, when kids can accomplish tasks like this all by themselves, it gives them a huge boost of confidence. In addition, it can give kids an opportunity to explore their creative side along with the chance to work on improving their fine motor skills. So basically, kid crafts are awesome. So today, I am excited to show you a super fun, really simple craft that is perfect for spring or Easter. And one of the best parts is that this is a craft my 6-year-old can do all by herself. Well, with adult supervision of course. Jelly Bean Easter Cone Basket You will need: • Ice cream cones, cake (flat bottom) • Twizzlers (or similar) • Jelly beans or other item to fill cone • Knife (I used a kid safe knife from Pampered Chef, so this made it safer for my 6-year-old to do. She was only allowed to do this under my supervision of course. Please always supervise your kids when doing this.) How to do: 1. Using a knife, carefully make holes in the sides of the ice cream cone. You will simply put the tip of the knife in the side
Minivans are moot – SUVs and other autos are grabbing hold of the rankings for lowest car insurance rates. At the No. 1 spot is the Ford Edge SE, according to MSN Money’s list. – www.money.msn.com Veggies last – So the kids fight about having to eat their greens, right? Have them save the vegetables for last. Using different kinds of chocolates, one study found that the last chocolate kids ate was rated the best – no matter what the flavor was like. Give it time, and the effect might take hold. – www.living. msn.com Win one for the wallet, save on wine – According to Eric Asimov and a tasting panel in “The New York Times,” you can find some decent wines for less than $10. For a deal, try Steenberg South Africa Sauvignon Blanc 2004 or J. Vidal-Fleury Cotes-du-Rhone. Both ring up for $8. – The Week presents Confidential Intelligence Briefing
of the cone and twist it into the cone to make a hole. Be careful not to make the hole too big. 2. Carefully insert a Twizzler into the holes. 3. Fill the cone with jelly beans or other candy. This would make a cute place holder for the Easter dinner table or a cute gift for your child to hand out to his/her friends. It’s really a per-
fect craft for any spring-time or Easter celebration or just for your kids to enjoy! Happy crafting! Ashley Phipps, interior designer, floral designer and creator, designer and author of Simply Designing: www.simplydesigning.blogspot. com.

Bang for your buck – When you check out the produce section, consider buying prebagged fruits or vegetables.

Bring home bright leather One of the hottest trends in the home furnishing industry is intensely colored leather. Before you ask the anticipated question, “Where did you find a cow that color?â€? be assured that it is just a dye, just as with more natural colors. It is striking to enter a room that is anchored with an emerald green leather ottoman or a teal leather chair, and the pieces provide a powerful intrigue to the space. Although leather is easily maintained and has superior durability compared to many other upholstery materials, leather furniture care is still required to ensure its longevity. Whether the source of your leather piece is a traditional brown cow or one of the “newer green, red and blue cows,â€? the first thing to do is to protect it from the UV rays of the sun. It is always good to start by closing the drapes. If they are properly lined and interlined, the drapery will block the UV rays which are so damaging to hardwood, carpet and fabrics as well as leather furnishings. Tinting the windows is the first line of defense if treatments are stationary or not appropriate for a window. In addition, dry rooms can cause leather to dry out and lose its supple nature. Leather furnishings should be placed at least six inches away from any continuous heat source. Since leather is a product of nature, it has unique qualities and properties all its own as well as a rich look and touch of luxury. Over time, the aging of the leather brings out the natural patina so the more you use your furniture the more beautiful it becomes! Maintaining is really quite basic: • Never use solvents, furniture polish, abrasive cleaners or any other type of chemical product. • With normal usage, a simple maintenance

routine of regularly dusting with a dry cloth and vacuuming in crevices is adequate. Use a leather conditioner every six months to a year. • Gently rub with your finger tips or buff with a damp chamois cloth to work out and repair scratches. • Leather is very kid friendly – Juicy Juice spills should be wiped with a clean cloth as soon as possible, but liquid should not create any lasting damage. • If you have a stain that is persistent, have a leather furniture care specialist treat professionally.
Bright colors are a fix – Winter may cast a dreary look on the area, but that doesn’t mean the living room has to reflect that. Use individual elements, like a throw blanket or pillow, to counter the winter weather with bright hues indoors. – www.bhg.com

INSIDE & OUT Outdoors
Reap the benefits of spending time outdoors Commentary by Randy Sorrell Awareness continues to grow of the wellness benefits associated with an active outdoor lifestyle. Prompted by our self-medicating lifestyles (guilty), Americans are being reminded that relaxing on your patio, hiking in the park and working in your yard are necessary components for thriving personal health – physically, spiritually and mentally. Family too. A recent study noted, “Spending time in natural settings improves brain function, restoring your ability to exercise directed attention and working memory.” Meaning, it allows our attention circuits to heal and hastens recovery from fatigue. Anyone fatigued? Several Facebook friends celebrated what jazzes them about luxury outdoor living and entertaining on their patios: • Stephanie Smith Lewis, “I love grilling!!!” • Judy Ford, “It’s so good to be thinking about spring and summer and the good times to come outdoors.” • Amanda Arnsperger Black, “Creating an environment for “unmanufactured” memories for our kids and a tranquil respite for us once they’re in bed.” • Eric Etchison, “I feel it’s a special place to catch up on life with family and friends. When you step outside you seem to leave all behind. It provides a place where eye

contact and meaningful conversation is happening. I enjoy the spark and energy in my kids’ eyes as they bounce around the patio and discuss school and their life. There is just something about being outdoors that today’s crazy life, schedules and technology can’t replace.” There’s a reason your happiest, most grateful friends are those with cool patios, edgy fire features, stunning landscapes and mulch stained jeans. Sure, the healthy immune spikes from
vitamin D, which also prevents cancer and curbs heart disease, helps. But the real “phones banned” value is gained from fresh air, physical exertion, relaxing, socializing and gathering.

DOUBLE TWIST Have you always wondered how to create a classic Audrey Hepburn-inspired hair twist? Follow these simple steps for this classy and sophisticated look with a modern flair. 1. Part your hair down the middle, leaving the crown area loose, and put about 5 or 6 bobby pins down each side of the part (this will serve as an anchor to your style). 2. Second, twist all of your hair on the right side in toward the part you created, forming a role. Secure this role with pins, making sure to place them all the way to your neck for ultimate security. 3. Fluff the hair left open on the crown of your head and sweep it back into a small bun, securing with hairspray. 4. Next, repeat the rolling process with the left side of your hair. Tuck the ends in and secure with pins. 5. Last, hiding the pins between the “seam” between the roles, blend both sides together, working upward. Finally, work a dab of shine serum, such as Salon 01’s Shine and Define, in the palms of your hands, and smooth over the entire style to eliminate frizz. Set the style with some hairspray. For more simple do-it-yourself hairstyles, come in and consult with a talented Salon 01 stylist! Call 317-580-0101 to book your appointment today. Haircuts start at $27.

INSIDE & OUT Indoors
A powder room is a small space for big opportunities Commentary by David Decker The term “powder room” actually dates back to the 18th century when many aristocrats would build a small room in their home where people could take a break from the big party and get their wigs re-powdered. While powdered wigs aren’t exactly all the rage anymore, homeowners still like to have a small room in the home to accommodate guests. Today, a powder room is just another name for a “half bath” or small bathroom that features only a sink and a toilet. Because of its small size, the powder room is the place where you can take chances and get creative with design. Unlike larger, actively used rooms like the kitchen, you don’t have to worry much about functionality. You will likely have a limited floor plan, which is why you can focus your full attention on aesthetics. Go for intense colors, bold patterns or an unusual accent piece: anything that might grab attention. The walls in a powder room are essentially blank canvases just waiting for you to get creative. Forget neutrals. Try painting the walls with a bold color such as chocolate brown, navy, yellow or ruby. Although conventional design wisdom says that using deep colors in a small space can make it look smaller, feel free to ignore that rule when designing the powder room. There’s no need to make it look spacious. Go for
creating the best possible lighting. You may want to bypass conventional over-the-mirror lighting in favor of sconces or overhead lighting, which will add a unique touch to the room. The powder room is also a great place to implement some delicate or pricier pieces. Choose an exotic stone for a vanity countertop, install hardwood flooring or a vessel sink. You can also afford to spend a little bit more decorative pieces like artwork or mirrors. You won’t need much to fill the room, so choose items that make a real impact. Lastly, don’t forget about the little details. Pay attention to everything from the drawer pulls you select, to the faucets, soap dispensers and towel racks. Have fun experimenting with materials and ideas that you wouldn’t get a chance to use anywhere else in the home.

exciting instead. Wall treatments can be pricey, but because there’s significantly less area to cover in a powder room, it is the perfect place to ex-
periment with wallpaper, tile, wood and more. It’s likely that this room will have no natural light, so your choice in fixtures will be key in
