Pleasant enough, great-looking and featuring a catchy song or two, it nonetheless didn’t offer anything that was especially engaging or clever. Designed to entertain wee ones with lots of bouncy slapstick action and cute critters, it accomplished exactly that, and little more. Read more at currentnightandday.com.

John J. Dippel, 75, died on Sept. 21, 2013 at IU North Hospital. Born on July 30, 1938 in Indianapolis, he was the son of Marinus “Joe” and Helen Dippel. He graduated from Sacred Heart High School in 1956 and joined the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne, serving two years. He worked for the Indiana Bell Yellow Pages/Ameritech Publishing for 33 years before retiring in 1994 as a general manager. He then started a second very successful career, working more than 15 years in advertising promotions as an independent sales contractor for Winters & Associates. His long desire to be a public servant serving the community of Westfield came to fruition in 2006. He was elected to the last Westfield Town Council, served as vice president and was a driving force for Westfield to not be annexed by the City of Carmel. For the first City Council of Westfield, he was elected to a four year term starting in 2008 and again in 2012. He was an active member of St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church and an avid Dippel golfer. Survivors include his wife of 52 years, Marcyann; sons, Nick, Joe and Daniel; daughters, Maura Kautsky and Andrea Doran; 14 grandchildren; one great grandchild; sister, Mary Heisig; and a host of incredibly loving relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents. Visitation was Sept. 26 at Saint Maria Goretti Catholic Church, 17104 Spring Mill Rd., with mass to follow. A memorial will be held at 1 p.m. at The Bridgewater Club. Memorial contributions may be made to the Westfield Youth Assistance Program. Arrangements entrusted to Bussell Family Funerals, Carmel.

Patricia Barbara Banks, 83, of Carmel, died Sept. 20, 2013. Born March 24, 1930 in Brightwood, Ind., she was the daughter of William and Georgia Webb Davis. She attended Tech High School and was a longtime auxiliary member of the Carmel VFW. She was a loving wife and a wonderful mother and grandmother. She loved spending time with her family. Survivors include her children, Beth Ann (Steve) Mayhew, Nancy J. (Kathy Cobb) Banks, Stanley E. “Chip” (Bethany) Banks and Julie L. Banks; grandchildren, Jill (Ryan) Tuggle, Katie (Jim) Billerman, Emalee (Ryan) Graf, Krista (Brad) Paul, Nicole Morin, Thomas Mix, Brooke Mix, Tyler Morin, Lauren (Spencer) Samuelson, Christian Dixon, Parker Dixon, Zach Mayhew and Adrianne Keller; and great- grandchildren, Reagan Tuggle, Judd Tuggle, Lilly Graf, Sydney Keller and Sara Billerman.

161st Street construction completed early – Road work has been completed on 161st Street just west of U.S. 31 nearly a month ahead of schedule. In coordinated efforts with the contractors, the City of Westfield was able to finish the project more than three weeks earlier than the projected Oct. 20 opening. The contractors finished phase 1 of a long term project. Halverson Construction built an underground tunnel that will eventually connect to the Monon Trail. The construction cost for the first phase is $264,000, but now the infrastructure is in place to build the needed retention walls at a later date when the funds are available. “The City of Westfield took advantage of INDOT’s closure of 161st Street to save money on a future project,” said Mayor Andy Cook. “The timing was crucial as it saved the city hundreds of thousands of dollars to be able to complete the first step of a long term goal. While drivers won’t notice any immediate changes at 161st Street, the project set the foundation to have a pedestrian friendly crossing in the future.”

Sheriff adds 14 reserve deputies news@currentinwestfield.com Fourteen new reserve deputies were added to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office on Sept.22. Deputy Bryant Orem said achievement from an initial class of 20 recruits, the 14 new officers spent Tuesday and Thursday evenings as well as every other weekend since the beginning of January to complete the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Reserve Academy. “The almost 600-hour academy, taught by certified instructors from the sheriff’s office, is equivalent to the curriculum full-time officers complete at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainfield,” he stated. “The new deputies still must complete more than 500 hours in field training under the supervision of a merit deputy before being released to work solo.”

Graduating were Shelli Bailey, Nicholas Bowyer, Glen Goldberg, Matthew Grose, Anthony Guzman, Patrick Heitz, Justin Hubbard, William Jennings, Brandon Kreisher, Blaine Mallaber, Anthony Slack, Andrew Tharp, Jeremiah Wilck and Mark Wilson. Orem stated the members of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Reserve Division are nonpaid individuals who are dedicated to supporting and assisting the sheriff’s office and the citizens of the county. The Reserve Division provides relief for the merit deputies when necessary by augmenting manpower when there is a shortage as well as supporting programs initiated by Sheriff Mark Bowen. Orem said although they are only required to serve 24 hours each month, many Hamilton County Reserve Deputies volunteer more than 1,000 hours each year.

The race is unique as it provides an outlet for competitive and creative juices. “If it was a true derby race all the entries would look the same but have different colors. Last year there was a surfboard, a trash can car from the public works department and an F-16 fighter jet. That’s the neat part of it. You never know what’s going to show up,” Huff said.

Bullies beware It is our position that the new anti-bullying law is a positive move. According to the National Education Association, around 160,000 children miss school each day because they are scared of bullying. A recent study on teenage girls in Indiana found that more Hoosier girls are troubled by depression, falling grades and concerns about their weight than the national average. Perhaps it’s related to girls being more prone to social/relational bullying. The prevalent use of social media among teens is compounded by an ever-growing cavalcade of new social networking applications making it easier to target and become a target, while making it harder for parents to monitor cyber-bullying behavior. Logic dictates hesitancy in giving teenagers the equivalent of their own unfiltered television station with broadcast rights to the world, however, pop culture dictates the opposite. The new law gives authority to the schools for monitoring suspected bullying behavior. The mandate that school staff, administrators, teachers, volunteers, parents, cafeteria workers, bus drivers and students be educated on the definition, signs and interventions for bullying is good and long overdue. If civility is not ingrained in our youth, what hope do we have for the future and the legacy of those victims of bullying who took their own lives way too soon.

We can relate Commentary by Terry Anker Resources are always limited – even when we think that they are not. Time. Money. The bounty of nature. Each is consumed and renewed, even if it returns in a form we don’t like as much, in its own time. It is not like this truism is any big insight. But one is reminded from time to time that we don’t really know how close we are to exhausting a resource until it is nearly gone. For me, this simple fact reasserted itself in listening to a lecture on the history of Hamilton County. Decades ago, we experienced a natural gas boom. Factories formed and towns like Atlanta and others, now largely lost to history, burgeoned. At the time, the gas flowed from the ground in a seemingly endless stream. There was so much, in fact, that we would burn it off into the night sky for our own amusement. We all know the rest of the story. The boom soon turned to bust. Businesses died and folks packed up and moved on to the next town.

These stories are common enough but happen so often that the lesson is lost in cliché. If we’re smart, we take note and think about allocation of these resources. Today I am in Germany with the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce representing Legacy Fund in the exchange delegation. As the meetings roll on, we learn about ports and big manufacturers. But can the expense in time and dollars justify the trip? Will I need to ship Ford Fiestas en masse from central Germany any time soon? Probably not. Am I spending time with a hundred or so engaged and talented people from Central Indiana? Definitely so.

Is martial arts a real sport?

What’s your take on the martial arts? As a teenager and honestly, up until about a month ago, I balked at families involved humor with karate, judo, jui jitsu, etc. “It’s not a real sport!” I would say, as I trotted off to basketball practice or drove a little one to soccer. Sure “The Karate Kid” is one of my all-time favorite movies (the original, of course, starring the once very hot Ralph Macchio), but that was as far as I was willing to venture into anything that even remotely resembled a dojo. They’re wearing pajamas for Jean-Claude Van Damme’s sake! Enter nephew, age 8, and his little sister, 5. My husband and I received an email from their parents describing a hilarious session between said children, some bamboo boards and a Korean tae kwon do master. They invited us to come see one of the practices, so Doo and I grabbed our son Andrew and headed over to Master Yoo’s. The humidity was palpable, as there were about one billion kids jam-packed on a center mat, screaming and punching to the commands of not one, but four adult instructors, all with multiple black-belts. After exhausting lines like “Swipe the knee, Johnny!” and “Wax on, wax off,” Doo and I eventually began paying attention. And we were impressed. Children of all ages and sizes were listening intently, saying “Yes, sir” at every turn, bowing

to each other and to their teachers, and following instructions to the letter. When they made mistakes, they were gently corrected. When they succeeded, they were high-fived. And every so often a master would single out a Bruce Lee wannabe and have him perform amazing feats, or at least make it appear so. We could actually see the confidence levels rise each time they kicked the paddles to the cheers of their classmates. Steven Segal would have wept. I glanced over at our son, our one child who still seems to be looking for his niche, and knew we were toast. And so, after a two-week free trial to make sure he would actually enjoy it, and some hard-core selling on the part of Master Yoo’s persistent staff (I heard they even signed up Chuck Norris), we officially became a tae kwon do family. We have a one-year contract to prove it. Turns out I was wrong about this martial arts thing. Not only is it a sport, but it’s one of the best I’ve seen at promoting the importance of focus, self-control, determination and respect. So I’m happily replying “Yes, sensei!” to tae kwon do and hoping we do in fact have a Jet Li in the making, PJ’s and all. Peace out.

Get your grammar out of the gutter Commentary by Mike Redmond

Hello, there, class and welcome to another session of Please Stop Making Such a Hash of the English Language. Today we will adhumor dress examples of deplorable abuse, all gleaned from the “Weird” Wide Web and actual correspondence and conversation during the course of the last month. May I have the first question, please? Yes, I been tryna see… Stop right there. Not only is “I been” the language of an ignoramus, there is no such word as “tryna.” Sure there is. Me and my boyz use it all time. Oh, Lord, give me strength. The word you are looking for is boys, with an s. The letter z does not pluralize. Why are you picking on people for having there own way of language? Ack. Excuse me, I think part of my brain just exploded. “There” own way? I believe the word you are looking for is “their.” Same difference. OK, stop right there again. What in the world is that supposed to mean? Except in math, how can there be a same difference? That’s just nonsense. What you’re trying to say is that “there” and “their” are the same thing. They’re not. They’re. Get it? I just threw (not through) that one in there for laughs. While we’re on the subject, other non-inter-

changable homophones include to, too and two, weather and whether, compliment and complement, discreet and discrete and about a skidillion others. The ones I mention are just what I picked up on Facebook last week. Can I ax you something? No, you may not. I can’t think of a single thing that needs to be axed at the moment. And I am inclined not to let you ask, either. Yeah, but so what if people know what you’re tryna say? I’m sorry, could you back up and take another run at that sentence, using grown-up language this time? What’s the difference? It doesn’t effect me. Oh, yes it does. For starters, you apparently don’t know the difference between affect, to change, and effect, a result. And it does affect you. You use the incorrect word and the effect is that you don’t sound nearly as smart as you probably are. Or aren’t. The jury’s still out. You understood what I was saying. It was a lucky guess. No, actually, that affecteffect confusion-slash-ignorance has become so common that I more or less expect it, which is kind of sad. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker.

I’ve found my station in life Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Mary Ellen and I have been spending a lot of time on the couch watching our big-screen TV. It’s the same crapola that was on humor our small screen TV, only everything is larger. I am easily entertained. For example, I’m a big fan of cooking shows on NPR. I listen to this woman making veal scaloppini on the radio. I can’t see the dish; I can’t smell the dish; but I drool all over the steering wheel. Last year, one of the cable channels aired a yule log burning in a fireplace around the clock at Christmastime, and I watched it for three weeks. I was so captivated that I requested NPR also put it on the radio so I could listen to the wood crackling while driving. This month, Mary Ellen and I have enjoyed several old movies, but mostly we’ve watched music. Yes, watched music. Just like the old days of MTV, with one difference. There’s nothing to look at. It’s pretty much a blank screen. You see, with our cable service, you simply get music playing on about 25 channels. Each station features a different genre, like R&B, hip-hop, Reggae, soul, smooth jazz, rough jazz, heavy metal, light metal, hard rock, soft rock and sedimentary rock. As a rule, I’m really bad at comprehending what a movie is about, so I thought the music

channels would take the pressure off my wife who always has to explain the plot to me. While the screen is basically a dull gray, there are sometimes ads in one corner, and they also throw in interesting facts about the song or the artist playing in the other. For example, the 13th century composer Leonin wrote his music at Notre Dame. Fine, but did he play basketball there and could he hit a 3-pointer? Usually these little tidbits of history are kind of dull, so I did a little research of my own and found three unknown pieces of classical trivia… • Johann Sebastian Bach’s wife made him a sandwich to take to work every day and is credited with inventing the Bach’s lunch. • Beethoven was not deaf. He just had heard enough already. • It wasn’t that Brahms didn’t like children — he just liked them better when they were sleeping. I’m tiring of these channels. Mary Ellen said if really wanted to, I could watch the Colts game this Sunday. That was music to my ears.

Come to the dark side Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre season stretches to match dancers’ ambitions By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com A dark, post-modern telling of the tale of Pinocchio. A poetic interpretation of the forced march of the Cherokees from their dance native land. A gypsy wedding. A spiritual dance of the angels. The season opener of Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, GHDT in Concert, is introspective and unusual, and will take the audience on a journey across continents and cultures. Founded in 1997, GHDT is now in its third season as the resident professional dance company at the Tarkington Theatre at The Center for the Performing Arts. GHDT in Concert will present a twist to their typical “repertoire by request” concert. Last season, audience members were invited to select the repertoire. This season, Hancock asked the dancers and the company’s lighting designer, Ryan Koharchik, to choose the pieces to be performed. Koharchik has created an entirely new lighting design for his choice, “Steampunk Pinocchio.” Steampunk is a futuristic, sci-fi genre focusing on steam-powered machinery. It is typified by Victorian-style corsets, goggles and elements of fantasy. Hancock has adapted Carlo Collodi’s original story into a darker version of the well-known children’s tale. The dancers have selected “Trail of Tears,” an athletic and spiritual dance inspired by the

forced march of the Cherokee Indians, “The Wedding,” inspired by the migration of the Roma gypsies from India to Spain, and “This is Why We are Born with a Cleft on our Upper Lips,” a solo piece which will feature intern Abby Lessaris. “I continue to try and stretch the dancers; not just their bodies, but their minds,” Hancock said. “And we try to stretch the minds of the audience too, to not just entertain but inform. We try to present story-driven dance featuring complex social, cultural, historical and spiritual issues.” Hancock is enamored with Indian culture and

travels regularly to Mumbai, where he works with several dance companies. He hopes to someday take GHDT on tour in India. “Mr. Hancock likes to take us out of our comfort zone,” said Dana Backes, who hails from Colorado Springs, Colo. “We’re all going to be stretching for ‘La Casa Azul!’” Backes refers to the June world premiere presentation of an original work by Hancock with collaborator Kate Ayers, which will combine ballet and opera. All of the dancers will sing, and they are all taking voice lessons now in preparation. The “balopera,” as Hancock is calling it, is an original idea and is based on the life of renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Other performances on this season’s schedule include: an alternative version of “The Nutcracker” at Pike Performing Arts Center, “Down on the Bayou,” a cabaret-style event, “Superhero,” “G2 in Concert,” featuring GHDT Academy students, and “La Casa Azul.” Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre in Concert • Dance performances of “Steampunk Pinocchio,” “Trail of Tears,” “The Wedding” and “This is Why We are Born with a Cleft on our Upper Lips” • 7 p.m. Oct. 4 and 5 • Tickets $38.50 for adults and $33.50 for students and seniors. • For more information call 8433800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

Potter’s Bridge Fest in its 14th year By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Hamilton County Parks & Recreation Dept. will transform the typically tranquil Potter’s Bridge Park, 19401 N Allisonville festival Rd., Noblesville, into a lively festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 5. Guests of the Potter’s Bridge Fall Festival can listen to live music, visit the arts and crafts booths, take their little ones to the kids area and enjoy the natural scenery of Noblesville’s most scenic park on the White River Greenway Trail. Oct. 5 marks the 14th year of the free annual festival. “It all takes place in the park setting. Local residents know it is a very peaceful and scenic park and the addition of the historic covered bridge is special,” said Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls of the HCPR Dept. “It attracts a lot of people. Vendors want to setup on the covered bridge.” Nicholls said the festival will include more than 70 vendors with a wide variety of products, entertainment and food. “We’re on pace to surpass all years in terms of vender participation,” he said, adding vendors range from chiropractic offices to custom jewelry made out of flatware to furniture. “It’s types of items or merchandise not found in traditional stores. It’s handcrafted with a lot of pride and care.” In addition to vendors, the festival will include a kids’ zone with a bounce house and good sized playground. Entertainment will be provided by

the Poison River Boys, a bluegrass band that performed at last year’s event. “We had so many compliments about them that we invited them back,” Nicholls said. A 10 x 10-foot booth space is $30 and Nicholls said the low price provides in-home businesses or entrepreneurial individuals an opportunity to showcase their goods. “This is the least expensive way to sell arts and crafts for that kind of traffic and exposure,” said Nicholls. “The great variety adds to the popularity.” Nicholls said vendor applications are still being accepted and will go through the screening process.

Award Winning Chili

Lessons learned

Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Richard Brookhiser, an American journalist, biographer, and historian and a senior editor at the National Review, once wrote an interesting historical-fiction piece in Forbes magazine describing the inauguration of tailgating. According to Brookhiser, it all began at the 1904 Harvard-Yale football game, inferring tailgating has actually been going on for more than a century. If you believe that with age comes wisdom, then there must have been some lessons learned during the last “five score and eleven years”. Here are a few examples we have observed that should improve your tailgating experience by saving space and money, in addition to simplifying your game day preparation routine: • Don’t pay for things that you can make free. A plastic juice or milk bottle can be washed, filled almost full with clean water and frozen in your freezer. Why pay for ice when you can make your own? • Re-use containers that are disposable. A gallon ice cream tub makes a perfect disposable chili container that can be

thrown away on site after the game. Remember that chili will stain your Tupperware. • If you need a fire for warmth or cooking use burnable packaging. Cardboard boxes, paper bags and newspapers make good kindling for a fire or to light charcoal without that smelly lighter fluid. Note that used paper plates can also be burned. Remember that tailgating is to be a relaxing social experience. Use your brain here to schedule your departure to the game ahead of traffic, and the return home after most traffic has cleared. By arriving early you won’t need to rush your set-up and most importantly, you’ll have more time for enjoying friends. With good friends you’ll need good food. Chili is always a favorite. Try this recipe that won a cook-off contest several years ago at the Indiana State Fair. Joe Drozda is an author about sports and food. You may contact him at drozda@tailgatershandbook.com or visit www. tailgatershandbook.com.

Ingredients (makes four quarts): • 2 teaspoons salt • 2 tablespoons Mexican oregano (leaf style) • 2 tablespoons cumin • 2 teaspoons cilantro • 8 tablespoons chili powder • 46 fluid ounces V8 juice (Light & Tangy) • 2 14-1/2 oz. cans diced tomatoes with green chilies • 1 1/4 ounces Wyler’s instant beef bullion crystals (low sodium) • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic • 1 large Vidalia onion • 1 large red onion • 1 pound coarse ground chuck • 1/2 pound cubed pork tenderloin • 2 full 1/2-inch-thick round steaks • 12 ounce beer, any brand • 1/4 cup cooking oil Preparation: Trim the round steak of all fat and slice the meat into 1/2-inch strips. Laying several strips at a time side-by-side, cut the strips across to form 1/2-inch bite-size cubes. Using half the cooking oil in a heavy skillet, brown the ground chuck, pork and beef cubes together. When browned, remove the meat from the skillet and place in your favorite chili pot, leaving as much of the oil as possible in the skillet. Use the remaining oil to brown the chopped onion, then add the crushed garlic. Remove the mixture and place in the chili pot. Combine the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and continue to boil uncovered until chili has thickened to desired consistency. You may wish to add the following optional ingredients: 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, a Hersey bar (no almonds), and few dashes of Tabasco.

Living healthier, happier lives By Patricia Griffin Mangan news@currentinwestfield.com

Hundreds of people learned about the latest health products during the Hamilton County Health & Wellness Expo on wellness Sept. 21 and 22 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville. Riverview Hospital was one of the 29 vendors at the expo and offered $30 flu shots and other free screening tests. The county hospital also provided several discounted screenings like the cardiac risk assessment and baseline EKG test for $l0 each. Doctors who gave free presentations on a variety of medical subjects were Carolyn Cebalo, Michael Fitzgerald, Tracey Ikerd, Jeffrey Ginther,

Reeta Bhargava, Stephen Jacobsen and Eric Marcotte. “I came to learn more about nutrition and weight loss,” said Sherry Moore, who attended Marcotte’s class. “We should treat our bodies not how we feel but how we live,” Marcotte said. The expo provided attendees the opportunity to meet with a variety of healthcare specialists including local dentists, hearing aid companies, eye, ear, nose and throat companies, assisted living and independent living facilities. “We are a full service chiropractic office and we focus on not only the spine but the nervous system using corrective physical therapy, exercises and different procedures,” said chiropractor Abraham Beaber of Hamilton County Chiropractic.

IU Health turning pink in October news@currentinwestfield.com

For the fourth consecutive year, Indiana University Health North Hospital will turn its campus pink in October in recognition wellness of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The hospital is raising funds for the new Philanthropy Breast Care Fund. The public is invited to participate in the effort by making online donations to sponsor pink solar lights that will be placed on IU Health North Hospital’s grounds at 116th and North Meridian streets to represent those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. “At IU Health North Hospital, we hope to receive donations for 1,000 pink solar lights that will help us continue to offer the highest quality care and support to the women we serve every day,” stated Julia Whiteker, manager of Cancer Services at IU Health North, Saxony and Tipton Hospitals. Solar lights at IU Health North Hospital are $5

each and can be dedicated to honor, remember, or thank a friend or family member who fought breast cancer or helped another through her journey with the disease. All proceeds will go to the hospital’s Philanthropy Breast Care Fund to assist women through their breast cancer treatment. For more information, contact Tracy Miller at 688-5678 or northgiving@iuhealth.org. IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers and IU Health Tipton Hospital are “Turning Pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month this year. Visitors may notice such things as pink water running through outdoor fountains, pink mums decorating the landscapes and pink lights shining the trees. “So many lives are touched by breast cancer, and by spreading pink elements throughout three hospital’s campuses, we are able to bring greater attention to breast cancer and support those who are fighting it,” stated Whiteker. For more information, visit www.iuhealth.org/ turnpink.

Smart shopping – If you’re doing some online shopping and don’t want to be bombarded by related ads, there’s an easy fix, according to Joseph Lorenzo Hall at the Center for Democracy and Technology. Go into your browser’s settings to block third-party cookies and select “do not track.” Sorry, ad man. – CNNMoney

news@currentinwestfield.com When Ollie’s Bargain Outlet opens its doors Oct. 2 in Meridian Village Plaza just west of the intersection of U.S. 31 and 136th Street, shoppers are likely to be amazed at consumers the low prices. John Santora, Ollie’s store operating coordinator, describes the business as a retailer specializing in “real brands at real bargains.” Shoppers can expect to find a wide variety of brand-name products for sale at prices 50 to 70 percent lower than typical retail. People are sure to scramble to grab $5 bottles of Tide detergent, $4 hardcover books or $2 boxes of cereal. Unlike other discount retailers, Ollie’s doesn’t require bulk purchases to receive a discount. All its products can be purchased one at a time. “Every time you visit Ollie’s you’re going to have a different buying experience,” Santora said. That’s because the store never carries the same products from week to week. It purchases severely discounted brand name items through store buyouts, liquidators, bankruptcies and manufacturing overruns. Santora said the approach keeps the store fresh, but warns customers, “When it’s gone, it’s gone.” The opening comes none too soon for neighboring businesses who are concerned about how the construction of a roundabout to the south of the plaza will affect foot traffic. Santora

Dispatches

Battery boost – Not all bulk purchases are made equal. Some items aren’t worth grabbing up in large lots, but batteries are a good bet. According to Consumer Reports, Duracell AA’s cost 33 cents apiece at Costco. They’ll cost you 63 percent more at supermarkets. – MSNBC Not too early – What should young adults start dumping money into? According to financial planner Kristen Euretig, one good bet is retirement. According to Euretig, if 20-somethings aren’t contributing enough to a 401(k) plan, a Roth IRA could work because you can get contributions back sans interest or penalties and put those funds towards grad school or emergencies. – Forbes John Santora is the store operating coordinator of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet which distinguishes itself from its competition by selling name brand products at prices usually reserved for cheap imitations.

said he’s not fazed by the construction. “When people want to find a good deal, they are going to find a good deal,” he said. “That’s why we’re here, to give them a good deal.”

Sports savings – Google is about to become your new best friend. If you’re looking to get tickets to a big game at a deal, try doing an online search for presale passwords, according to Tony Knopp, co-founder and CEO of Spotlight Ticket Management. It could mean getting a discount on the purchase. – MSNBC

Nemo’s Sports Pub and Grill is a family affair - literally. Eric Niemeyer runs the business, his mother, Mitsy, does the acnow open counting and his father, John, constructed the bar and spent hours helping to construct other aspects of the restaurant. “It’s a family business but we each do our own thing,” Mitsy said. “It’s Eric’s baby.” “We’ve always worked well together as a family,” Eric said. The pub opened on Aug. 7 at 15887 Cumberland Rd. For the past 15 years, Eric has worked in a variety of positions at night clubs and enjoys hanging out in sports bars. “It’s a culmination of several sports bars merged into one,” Eric said, who has had the nickname of Nemo since seventh grade. “I had the idea of a brand new sports bar, but you know what would make it better and eliminate all the bad qualities … It’s the little details people don’t see that we put into it.” While the pub has all of the sports network packages, it will highlight professional and college teams located around Indianapolis. “We’ll feature the teams from Indiana,” Eric said, adding if that is not an option voting will take place to determine which game gets the 16-feet wide and 9-feet high screen.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

$5 OFF a $20 PURCHASE

I may be the Grammar Guy, but I still learn new things every day. This week’s lesson is brought to you by football. I’ve written about a pretty varied list of subjects as grammar guy a journalist: politics, education, crime. I once even did an ill-fated interview with Martin Short. But something I haven’t had much occasion to write about is sports – until recently. Sports writing has its own lexicon, naturally. I’d give you some examples but, again, it’s sort of outside my ken. Some sports idioms do find life in the general vocabulary – boxing’s “glass jaw” and “down for the count” come to mind. And, some don’t. Take, for example, the words “clench” and “clinch.” Historically, they are synonyms; both meaning to “hold or fasten tightly.” I’ve even found multiple dictionaries that use one to define the other (which, frankly, is a little lazy on their part). “Clinch,” though, has evolved a second meaning after adoption by the sports writing community. That meaning is “to make something certain or final” – in particular a win. For example, if the Colts beat the Jaguars on Sunday, they will have “clinched the victory.” While “clench” and “clinch” can typically be used synonymously elsewhere, only “clinch” is appropriate in sports. I … did not know this. Fortunately for me, a quick set of edits made everything right in the world again. But, I decided I would be remiss if I didn’t share my edification with you. Can you think of areas where otherwise synonymous words have industryspecific meanings? If so, drop me a line. And may all of your victories be clinched.

Brushing less than 30 minutes after having something like that is like etching glass. An abrasive is put on glass and then you scratch away at the glass.

5 steps to more balance

Commentary by Kristin Boice

Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious and tired? Do you feel out of balance? Are you worrying over things relationships that you cannot control? Are you spending too much time doing things that are not adding value to your life? Are you overscheduled? It might be time to hit the pause button and bring awareness to what is taking up your thoughts, time and energy. The good news is we can make a choice, change and get back into alignment and integrity with ourselves. If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then you may not feel centered, grounded or peaceful. You can begin to make a change and feel better. Try these five steps and see if it makes a difference in how you feel. Keep a daily log for one week. Write down what you do during the day, any worries or concerns taking up your thoughts and the amount of time spent on each item. For example, you might write down how much time you spend on Facebook or social media during the day and notice it is taking up way too much time and creating feeling of inadequacy or not feeling good enough. You may decide to limit your time or delete your account. Explore why you do or think these things. Are you doing a lot of things in your life to feel

important, to be noticed, to feel like you matter, to get attention, to belong or be liked? It’s essential to stop and understand what drives your behavior, choices and thoughts. Write down your values. What is important to you? What matters most in your life? Are you living out these values with your actions and thoughts? Set boundaries for yourself. This can be a gift for you and others. Determine what is out of balance and not aligning with your values. You don’t need to explain yourself when setting boundaries. A simple “no” is enough. We often feel like we need to give a good explanation for why we can’t do something, but it isn’t necessary. Take time for yourself. This is the most important step. It is often skipped because we tell ourselves we don’t have time. We can absolutely make time to take care of ourselves. It is essential we walk, read, journal, be in nature or whatever helps you to slow down and remember what is important. You can recharge your batteries, think more clearly, make better decisions and feel more balanced. You are worth it!

No hungry lions here

Commentary by Donald Knebel

Millions visit the Roman Coliseum every year, many of them expecting to see where Christians were thrown to hungry lions. But travel Coliseum guides quickly dash those expectations, pointing out that facts don’t support the gory images of Renaissance paintings and late night movies. Roman Emperor Vespasian ordered construction of the Coliseum in 72 A.D. The nearby Arch of Titus, erected at about the same time, shows Roman troops, under the command of Vespasian’s son Titus, bringing golden treasures looted from the Jewish Second Temple in 70 A.D. back to Rome. Scholars believe these treasures funded the building of the Coliseum. Titus also brought 20,000 Jewish slaves back to Rome, many of whom were forced to build the Coliseum. When completed in 80 A.D., the Coliseum was a powerful reminder of the public benefits of Roman military power. The four-tier oval Coliseum included numbered seats for at least 57,000 spectators and a longgone retractable cover. Coliseum entertainment typically involved fighting and death. During the inaugural games, 9,000 animals from around the empire were reportedly killed. Gladiators, both prisoners seeking freedom and professionals seeking glory, fought to the death unless the “Editor,” often the emperor, granted them mercy. What about the Christians and the lions? Some evidence suggests that Romans executed

early Christians by exposing them to dogs or other unspecified “wild beasts.” The tradition that the beasts were lions was probably influenced by the Biblical story of Daniel and the lions’ den. But scholars have found no reliable evidence linking Christian deaths of any kind to the Coliseum. The first hint of a connection came in the sixteenth century, when Pope Pius V suggested to Christian pilgrims in Rome that sand from the Coliseum floor contained the blood of martyrs and could be taken home as a holy relic. When visiting the Coliseum, don’t expect to see where the lions ate the Christians. Instead, expect to get an understanding of the horror first century Jews experienced when treasures of their holy Temple were used to construct a pagan monument to fighting and death. Even today, the Talmud forbids Jews from walking under Titus’s humiliating arch. Don Knebel is a Zionsville resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

A few simple swaps are all you need to get cool-weather-ready. For a reminder on how to bring your beauty routine off the beach, grab your pumpkin spice latte and keep reading. If you've been slathering on lotion to moisturize . . . Try this: "As Winter comes, the humidity in your home drops," Dr. Lawrence Samuels, chief of dermatology at St. Luke's Hospital in St. Louis, says. "The air actually pulls moisture from your skin to improve the environment." To combat this, you'll want to reach for a moisturizer with a little more weight. Bring back your body butters, they'll moisturize deeply and keep your skin hydrated as temperatures start to plummet.

If you've been using a toner as part of your skin care regimen . . . Try this: Many toners contain alcohol, which, paired with the wind chill, can cause extra dryness. Switch out your alcohol-containing varieties for ones free of the ingredient. If you've been opting for loose waves . . . Try this: Fall is a great time to work with sleek updos. A tight, low bun adds a touch of glamour to any style. Work a hair wax over your style to tame any fly-aways. Looking for something a little more laid back? Pull your hair into a high topknot. If you've been covering with tinted moisturizer . . . Try this: For more coverage, bring your foundations back into rotation. Foundation keeps things smooth without the heavy feel. Just allow your moisturizer to dry before layering on the foundation, and don't skimp on the SPF; you need it in the colder months, too.

I’ve got the blues, baby

Commentary by Vicky Earley

I must confess my head has been turned. While working on our most recent show house, “Living Large in a Small Space,” I have discovered my latest must-have color decorating - sapphire. This is not your average Crayola blue color pulled straight from a box of primaries. No, sapphire is deep in tone and has the slightest whisper of green. Combined with khaki, it says Boston brownstone. Urban with a side of preppy. Combine sapphire with orange and you are headed down the path to modern. Imagine dressing sapphire with nickel and accenting with tangerine and you will have the feel of a Nuevo décor paired with richness. Take that same sapphire and splash it with a mellow green and smoky plum. Suddenly that gemstone hue takes on the mood of a jazz ensemble. The sapphire is the mellow note while the contrast colors are the highs and lows of the saxophone. Teal blue takes sapphire and pours on the green. It can sometimes be labeled as part of the green spectrum. Teal is a natural for blending with a vibrant green. After all, the peacock always wears this combination well. There is sophistication to teal but it can show a whimsical BFTH_i_am_AB_quarter_pg_ad_Layout 1 9/17/13 5:31 PM Page 1 side as well. Pair it with pink and it is a perfect

combination for a girl’s room. When tranquility is the objective, a paler cousin of blue is order. This can be tricky. Just taking a deep, rich blue to a lighter hue will invariable result in the familiar robin’s egg blue or baby boy blue. This is when grey steps in. The best pale blues are often found on the strips with grey names. The blue undertones take over when the color envelopes the room. The biggest mistake homeowners make when selecting a soft blue is to select a “pretty” color from a stripe. The best blues are complicated and often look unappealing in a color deck. We cannot talk about my new found color love and leave out the solid, basic navy. Navy can, at times, be so dark that it is confused with black. Just ask anyone who wears socks. There is a timelessness to navy when it is paired with reds and khaki. It can be progressive in nature when it is revealed with silver, bronze or gold. The metallic captures a modern vibe and passes it on to the traditional mainstay. Regardless of which tone, a deep, rich blue is an exciting addition to a 2013 color palette when paired with white molding. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in Carmel.

New wet bar anchors extensive basement remodel

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing basement: Located in the Cobblestone Lakes subdivision in Zionsville, this 2009-built home had blueprint for an unimprovement finished basement. According to the homeowner, “We wanted to create a fun place with a little more room for entertaining and a space for our family.” Design phase: “Our goal with lower level remodels is to make them look like an extension of the rest of the home,” said the designer. “We began by creating a welcoming stairway entry by removing a wall and adding a new landing. Wainscoting and decorative trim were among the architectural details added for a finished look. The homeowners had specific needs for the basement, including a bedroom/exercise area, a full bathroom, a storage area and an entertaining/family space. Placement of these functions was based around flow and the location of windows and utilities.” Wet bar details: According to the owner, “We knew we wanted a wet bar that had more of a bar feel rather than a kitchenette. We ended up adding the half wall to give more table space.

Other details include extra storage space under the wall shelves and an arch over the TV.” A built-in beer tap was installed on the wall shared with the utility room, where an old refrigerator was converted to hold a connected keg. The island countertop was made large enough so it could serve as a comfortable table for sitting and playing games, and as a serving island at parties. Other details: The use of vinyl plank flooring in the hallway and main gathering space was a practical way to add to the pub-like look. The half wall breaks up the long narrow room into more

comfortable spaces and provides more seating for watching TV. The granite cap on top of the half wall continues around the basement perimeter to create a convenient drink and snack ledge. Finally, a built-in audio/video system lets music and TV play throughout the space.
