Grand Junction Funkion Westfield’s wacky answer to the Indy 500 took place the city’s main drag – South Union Street – Sept. 29. The event expanded this year into a day-long fall festival that included the derby, food and marketplace vendors, food trucks, a kids area hosted by Cinderella’s Closet and Adagio Dance Academy, a 10-board corn hole tournament hosted by the Westfield Fire Department, Sun King Brewery beer garden and a concert by The Why Store. For more photos, The Why Store performed a concert on Union Street visit www.currentinwestfield.com. following the races.

New housing option opens in Westfield editorial@youarecurrent.com

When Keisha Wade injured her back in a car accident a year ago, she and her young son had to move in with her mother in Westfield. Loving the area’s peaceful setting, quick access to conveniences and good schools, Wade knew she wanted to stay but was finding it difficult to find an apartment that fit into her budget. When she heard about The Commons at Spring Mill, a 72-unit affordable housing community coming to Westfield, she put every effort into securing an apartment there. “Once I got up to Westfield I really began to love it.” Keisha Wade, resident, “I just want to thank all who helped make this possible and for giving myself and my son a new beginning. I am not going anywhere!” On Sept. 27, Community Action of Greater Indianapolis celebrated the grand opening of The Commons at Spring Mill. Located just south of the intersection of Spring Mill Road and Ind. 32, the development provides clients and other Westfield residents with the opportunity to live affordably and independently, while still having access to supportive services. CAGI’s mission is to promote long-term self-sufficiency and prosperity within the community. “This project fits well into our long term goals of good, varied, and diversified housing here in Westfield,” Mayor Andy Cook said.

“The Commons at Spring Mill is giving our clients the opportunity to make their home in a safe, stable, and comfortable apartment community,” added CAGI President Ed Tipton. “That kind of independence gives people a lot of pride as they go on to do other things in their lives.” CAGI was awarded $8 million in federal tax credits, to be given over 10 years, from the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. IHCDA also provided an $846,465 construction and permanent loan. KeyBank provided a $5,850,000 construction

and $1,225,000 permanent loan, while KeyBank Community Development Corporation provided the $7,440,000 equity investment. The Commons at Spring Mill has been developed in partnership with Indianapolis-based Herman & Kittle Properties, Inc. Herman & Kittle served as general contractor and property manager while CAGI retains ownership.

COMMUNITY Around Town 4-H Community Halloween Party Oct. 11 By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Parents are encouraged to bring their children out to a safe environment for trick-or-treating, carnival games, treats, hayrides and more at the annual 4-H Junior Leader Community Halloween Party. The free party will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9 in the Exhibition Center of the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. “It (the move to the Exhibition Center) has allowed for the people to be able to flow thru the event without being so crowded,” said 4-H Ag/Youth Program Assistant Lisa Hanni. “We have been able to add more carnival games with the extra space which has cut down on the length of lines that the kids have to stand in to participate in each activity.” Youth ages 10 and under are invited to come in costume and enjoy games, prizes, candy and refreshments, a haunted barn and a hayride. Hayrides start at 6 p.m. Ronnie Neal picks a treat after bobbing and a costume contest will begin for apples. (File Photo by Robert Herrington) at 7:30 p.m. Hanni said there are three age groups (0-3, 4-6 and 7-10) with awards for prettiest, scariest, cutest and most original. “We usually have about 300-350 youth that participate each year and are planning on an even larger group this year. We offer this as a free event for families which includes hayrides, carnival games, refreshments and a haunted house,” said Hanni. “Everyone is allowed to participate in the activities as many times as they wish.” The evening is organized and sponsored by the Hamilton County 4-H Junior Leaders, who also hold an annual community Easter egg hunt in the spring. Hanni said funds to host the free events were raised from the Jr. Leaders poinsettia sale and soda stand during the summer’s 4-H Fair. “This event is a way for the Jr. Leaders to give back to the community. They take some of their proceeds from their concession stand sales during the 4-H Fair to support this event,” she said. Jr. Leaders will run the carnival games and plan, construct and man the haunted barn. “I have been here assisting the Jr. Leader for over 20 years and I have been amazed at the leadership skills of the Jr. Leaders. This is a large event for them to organize, plan and implement. The event chairmen love the challenge of putting their own “twist” on it each year,” said Hanni. “It takes great leadership skills to not only plan the event but to organize all the Jr. Leaders to set it up and run the games and haunted house. As the advisor, it is very rewarding to me to see them gain confidence in themselves and grow in their leadership over the years to be able to accomplish such a successful community event.” For more information, call 776-0854 or visit www.ag.purdue.edu/ counties/hamilton.

Awareness needed during fire hydrant maintenance By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Residents are urged to be aware of water discoloration as the biannual fire hydrant flushing is currently underway and expected to end on Nov. 2. The Westfield Public Works Dept. is asking all residents to be aware of the flushing in their respective areas and that temporary water discoloration could be a possible result. Hydrant flushing is required periodically to scour the distribution system water mains. Flushing will occur between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. During this process, WPW crews will be working Wanninger to remove particulate matter (iron and manganese) that subsequently builds up in the water mains. Removing these substances ensures that the cleanest water possible is provided to all residents. “We are asking the residents to be patient and cooperate with us during this process,” said WPW Director Kurt Wanninger. “If customers see a discoloration in their water, we would ask them to let the water run to waste at maximum volume for approximately two to three minutes, or until the discoloration disappears. It is imperative that this process occur so that our residents receive only the best quality water.” WPW urges its customers to minimize water usage during the flushing hours to minimize the potential of receiving riled water. Activities such as laundry and cooking should not be conducted from 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. For additional information, contact the WPW Customer Service Center at 804-3150.

Cover Story The Basics

Westfield Playhouse slapstick comedy “Good Help is so Hard to Murder” takes center stage By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Barbara May never has acted on stage as an adult, but she can now cross that one off her bucket list. “I wanted to audition for a play, never did it say I wanted to perform in a play,” she jokingly admitted. May, who said she was a munchkin as a child, is an avid supporter of the arts but decided to move from the audience to the cast for “Good Help is so Hard to Murder” by Pat Cook at the Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. Ind. 32, Westfield. “It’s a lot of fun. We laugh every night,” she said. May first went to the Westfield Playhouse to watch Kat Watson’s first performance. She has since supported her friend’s other productions. In her first performance, Watson is directing May. “It’s come full circle,” May said. “I had a small role and on a whim, I sent her an audition notice,” added Watson. May plays Elmira, whom she describes as the fat, 50-something psychic wannabe Southern belle. “Aside from the psychic part I fit the part – she (Watson) was tight casting,” May joked. As she begins to feel more comfortable in her role, May is now paying more attention to the entire play and not just focused on her character and lines. “It’s kind of evolved the past couple of weeks. I’m picking up on something new – I hope the audience doesn’t have to see it that many times,” she said. Also making their first appearance on the Westfield Playhouse stage is the mother-daughter duo of Susan Martin-Gibbons and Tessa Gibbons. “It’s been a blessing. It brings us so close together,” said Martin-Gibbons. “We’re having more fun than we all should be having.” This isn’t the first time the family members have performed on stage together. Gibbons said the two were in the cast of “Annie” last November at Carmel Repertory Theatre and previously appeared in “Anderson: A Fairy Tale Life.” “It’s definitely a lot of fun,” said Gibbons. “We help each other with our lines and costumes.” Gibbons, 14, is a freshman at Carmel High School. She has previously acted in school musicals, Carmel Community Players and CRT, but this is her first attempt at a play – and as an animal. “There are not too many lines, but they are funny. Everyone has their spotlight moment to be comical,” said Gibbons who plays the pet parrot Socrates. “I love the play because it is a slapstick comedy with so many twists in the www.currentinwestfield.com

It’s definitely a surprise ending. I don’t think anyone will figure it out.” Having “new blood” at the small Westfield theater is important. “I’m thrilled to have new actors on our stage,” said Watson, who describes the playhouse as homey, down to Earth and friendly. “I’ve been around a whole bunch of people who don’t know about the playhouse.” The play includes a lot of familiar faces as well and allows Watson to turn the table on a few actors (Bobbi Van Howe and Jan Jamison) who directed her in previous productions. “I’m directing my directors,” Watson said with a smile. “Good Help is so Hard to Murder” is a hilarious comedy about two southern belle sisters (Karen Webster and Kristen Wilson) who live in the old family home along with their maid of many years (Joan Walker) and their pet parrot Socrates (Gibbons). Convinced that the maid “knows too much” about her family’s shady past, Delilah conspires with her absent-minded younger sister to kill her. The local psychic (May) warns them that a tragedy is about to occur, a concerned neighbor (Martin-Gibbons) stops by and a crazy aunt (Jamison) pays them a surprise visit. Officer Judy (Van Howe) arrives to help resolve this farce, but it’s the parrot who solves the crime! “There’s silly humor to it that lends itself so actors can have a lot of fun,” said Watson. “They push the envelope with humor and mannerisms. It definitely makes it fun with rehearsals.” The play runs for the next three weekends at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Oct. 19, 20, 26 and 27; and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 21 and 28. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors and students. Reservations can be made by calling 896-2707.

Opinion ‘Legal voting’ takes a hit in Pennsylvania

Sign language It is our position that political discussions should be an acceptable form of public discourse. Greek philosopher Aristotle famously asserted that “Man is a political animal.” Yet, in most social circles, people avoid two main topics - religion and politics - for the sake of peace. If political discussions are avoided among friends and neighbors, how can society truly gain an understanding of the issues at hand and unite in sensible solutions? That social stigma is perhaps how political pundits gain and keep their pedestals. An easy way to start the conversation in your own backyard is by displaying a yard sign. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and that includes certain campaign signs. Out of the millions of dollars in campaign financing, why aren’t signs free? It’s a low tech, direct way of displaying support for candidates and political platforms. For those fearful of retaliation for displaying a yard sign, it’s a potential criminal act if the signs are removed by an unauthorized source. The stakes are especially high this election year. Show a sign of support. At the very least, fly an American flag, talk to your neighbors and respect their right to express an opinion.

There's something about scary Commentary by Terry Anker

Halloween is rapidly approaching and with it comes the corresponding host of traditions. Some of us will festoon the house – top to bottom with all matter of frightening (and fun) paraphernalia designed to usher in the coming winter. Others, no doubt, will resist the event all together decrying the ritual, at best, as a fiction invented by enterprising greeting card manufacturers (like so many modern American holidays) or, at worst, a throwback to paganism unworthy of national celebration. But many more will simply carve a pumpkin, help the kids dress as their favorite Disney princess or mutant ninja turtle, and pass out some candy picked up earlier that day at a convenience store on the way home from work. Our family falls somewhere into the last camp. We break out relatively modest fall gear, including a few ghoul-specific tchotchke to instruct the world that we know what month it is. Yet when a couple of kids were added to our little home, Halloween took on new sig-

nificance. Now instead of thinking what topical couple would be especially entertaining for our friends at their annual Monster’s Bash, Carolyn and I became the consummate parents. We dutifully planned kids’ costumes and executed elaborate strategies to make the most of the annual event. For these 17 years or so, my mom has made an outstanding chili dinner (the first of the autumn), Carolyn would fill the candy dish and pass it generously to neighborhood kids, and I would conspire with other dads on the block to shepherd our collective of little beggars from door to door. This year, my youngest announced that he’d rather go with friends in an adjacent neighborhood for the night’s festivities. I understand. He’s old enough; but for me, it may be the scariest Halloween ever. And, I’m not sure I’m ready.

We’re willing to state the obvious: The law in no way disenfranchises any voter; it is an attempt to prevent fraudulent voting, so those opposed to it, well, let’s just say they like a little breathing room when it comes to the definition of “legal voting.” Granted, there’s voter fraud on both sides, but we’re quite curious as to why the Democrats are so opposed to photo IDs. Actually, we know why, and we trust that you do, too. ••• Bias in the mainstream media? You be the judge. Fox News points out the following in an online report: The press is particularly eager to support Obama, seemingly bending over backward to spin declining economic numbers in a positive way. GDP rose at an annual rate of just 1.25 percent from April through June, barely keeping up with the growth in population. Durable goods orders plunged 13.2 percent in August. Median household income has actually fallen. Income has dropped from $53,718 to $50,678 since the “recovery” started in June 2009. In August and September, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times gave Obama slightly more positive headlines than Bill Clinton would have received with the same economic news. Obama also got more than 20 percent more positive headlines than Fox’s data indicated that similarly situated Republicans would have gotten. This more positive coverage has a real impact on people’s perceptions of the economy. More positive headlines raised people’s perceptions that the economy was getting better, when that wasn’t – and isn’t, apparently - the case.

VIEWS

Opinion

New baby doesn’t impact twin powers Commentary by Danielle Wilson People ask me all the time about having a twin sister. Are you identical? Are you close? Do you have special powers? (See below for answers.) Truth be told, being a twin is one of the coolest freaks of nature possible, and I can’t imagine life without one. No, we are fraternal. She does have red hair, a shade much less abrasive than mine, but wears it curly and short, and does not require mascara to look alive. She is also smaller than I am, and she rarely has to adjust her position in a photo shoot to avoid the giant-head dilemma I generally encounter. Yes, we are close. Despite having lived in Los Angeles for almost 20 years, she is one of my best friends. We share memories of our Nanny burning Jiffy Pop on her gas stove, getting paddled as first-graders for saying “ass,” and surviving a train derailment in the Appalachian Mountains. And though we are on opposite ends of the career spectrum – I teach math and she restores art – we both secretly crave the spotlight and like to re-enact scenes from Mommy Dearest and Breakfast Club. Sometimes, we do have secret powers, none of which I can divulge at risk of forfeiting them to a higher power. But we did survive a train accident! So why am I writing about my twin? Well, good reader, she has been on my mind. She just

had her first baby, see, and while I am absolutely thrilled for her, I’m selfishly a little down that the experience hasn’t brought us closer. I thought as soon as she became a mother, we’d finally be able to relate on another level entirely. That she’d be constantly emailing with questions, that she’d be sending hordes of photos, and even, fingers crossed, that she’d call sobbing because she just couldn’t handle another sleepless night with an anti-breastfeeding infant. But there’s been none of that. I’ve yet to hear any complaining, whining, or hormone-induced hysteria, any “What have we done?” exclamations, not even a “This is really hard.” I haven’t had to talk her off any ledges or recommend a good hemorrhoid cream. Fact is, she doesn’t need me. My ultimate-sister role has been replaced by a beautiful little girl who looks a lot like her mom. Which, of course, is the way it should be, but I can’t help feeling a little sad, like maybe this is the end of our special bond. Sigh. Enough already! No more melancholy prose for me. “Wonder twin powers, activate!” I’m just going to let her know I’m here for her in whatever capacity she needs. That’s what twins, in particularly sisters, are really for, right? Peace out.

NEW HOPE FOR CHILDREN with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD

Highly Trained Medical Staff • Advanced Individualized Treatment Options • Most Major Medical Insurance Plans Accepted Genetic Consultation • Review of Medical records • Laboratory testing

“While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments. Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

• SOCIALIZATION: Why is my child having difficulty making friends? • IMPULSIVENESS: Why doesn’t my child understand consequences of his/her actions? • FOCUSING: Why does my child have problems paying attention in school and at home? • HYPERACTIVITY: Why can’t my child sit still, and has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep? • ANGER: Why does my child display such anger and gets out of control with his/her emotions? If you can relate to any of these questions there is help.

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing. Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.” - Renee and Ted Zlotopolski, Arnold, MO

Local orchards suffered losses in apple crop, but will continue fall festivities.

Carmel: Applefest – From 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, Carmel Applefest will take place in the PNC Bank parking lot, located on the northwest corner of Main St. and Range Line Rd. Enjoy live music, food, vendors, an art contest, kids' games, a raffle and more. The event is free and open to the public.

Katy Frantz • katy@youarecurrent.com The bite of frost in April this year caused an incomparable loss of apples, but local apple orchards and stores will still be selling the iconic fall fruit and hosting festivities. Stuckey Farm owner Jeff Pierce said the trees there bloomed early this year due to the abnormally warm February and March. But then the chill of April came back to bite the blooms. Apple orchards had to buy from other states that did not suffer the loss. Stuckey Farm, located at 19975 Hamilton-Boone County Line Rd., Sheridan, has shipped in a majority of apples from eastern Pennsylvania and some from Illinois. Spencer Farms in Noblesville does not have u-pick apples, but usually buys produce from Garwood Orchards in LaPorte, Ind. Mike Garwood, one of the owners of the orchard, said about 20 to 25 percent of their crop survived the frost, though he is still shipping in apples from Colorado or Idaho. The Indiana State Dept. of Agriculture said it does not yet have numbers on apple orchard production for this year. Garwood made an estimated guess that Indiana usually produces two million bushels a year, but this year may only have produced less than 100,000 bushels. John Shambora, who works at Spencer Farms, says prices have risen for them. The same is true for Gatewood Vegetable Farm and Greenhouses, where prices have increased by a possible 60 percent, while some varieties have almost doubled in price. At Stuckey Farm, Pierce believes prices have increased by an estimated 60 percent in comparison to last year’s price. In fact, anything related to apples has gone up, including the Stuckey cider.

Farm for the past 15 years, said this year was very rare. She said in the past Stuckey Farm may have brought in difference varieties of apples that were unavailable to them, but she had never experienced a loss like this year. Yet in spite of the frost in April, the Stuckey Farm still is making their famed apple cider from imported apples. It will be sold in stores such as Gatewood’s in Noblesville, Lilly Orchard in Indianapolis and the IGA in Sheridan, Lebanon and Thorntown. “It still tastes the same,” said Pierce. “We are just borrowing apples from other orchards.” Gatewood Vegetable Farm and Greenhouses has been buying The Stuckey Farm apple cider for more than 30 years. Bruce Gatewood, the son of owners Bill and Nancy, is now the manager of the business. He remembers, as a child, visiting The Stuckey Farm with his father to pick up their cider order. Gatewood Vegetable Farm buys the apples sold in-store from an orchard in northern Indiana. This year Gatewood ordered apples as early as April in order to get a part in the apple crop. “We knew it was going to be short since it was

warm too long [in February],” Gatewood said. Many businesses that sell apples also sell pumpkins. The pumpkins at Stuckey Farm are doing marvelously well this year. The Stuckey Farm has 10 acres of u-pick pumpkins that are “looking great” and could possibly be the best Pierce has seen in eight years. Unfortunately for Gatewood Vegetable Farm the pumpkin weigh-in, which they have hosted for the past 16 years, will not be hosted at their store this year. It has been moved to northern Indiana. The local orchards and produce stores faced incredible loss this year in the apple crop, but the festivities will continue throughout the fall. Stuckey Farm will continue selling pumpkins and apples as well as hosting events throughout October: hayrides, readings of James Whitcomb Riley poetry and Flashlight Night in their corn maze. Gatewood Vegetable Farm will also be selling apples, pumpkins and Stuckey cider. Spencer Farms will have hayrides through their pumpkin patch. Their homemade fudge, Garwood apples and other goodies will be available as well.

Don't spoil fun with 'poison' After a long day or night of cheering, singing and enjoying delicious food at a tailgate party, the typical fan just wants to get home, relax and unwind. This can be the perfect ending to a great day; unfortunately, this is also the time when those nasty little symptoms from improper care of food occur. These folks are experiencing symptoms of food poisoning from their tailgate parties. The most common cause of symptoms like cramps, diarrhea, and nausea is Salmonella bacteria. There can also be much more severe problems from E.Coli bacteria, which can be killed by cooking meat to a temperature of 160 degrees. To do that, you need a food thermometer. Salmonella, although generally less severe in symptoms, has many more places where it is found. It can be in red meats like E.Coli but is also found in poultry, eggs, unprocessed milk and even water. Here are some simple rules to avoid food poisoning: • Buy only USDA inspected meats with current freshness dates. • Wash hands, utensils, and cutting boards that touch or will touch food. Have a jug of water and anti-bacterial soap handy at the tailgate with plenty of paper towels. • Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Perishable foods should be kept below 40 degrees. Don’t let them sit out too long.

Pack-up leftovers quickly. Tailgater’s favorite dessert for game day is the bar because one can pick them up with their hand and eat them. No fork or plate is required. Low Fat Apricot bars

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 swerving of egg beaters, 1/2 cup apricot nectar (or OJ), 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce, 2 tablespoons cooking oil, 1/2 cup finely snipped dried apricots. Icing: 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 to 3 teaspoons of apricot nectar (or OJ) stirred together Preparation: In a medium mixing bowl stir together dry ingredients. In a smaller bowl stir together egg, apricot nectar, applesauce, and oil until combined. Add these wet ingredients to the dry and stir only until mixed. Now add the apricots and mix. Spread this mixture in an ungreased 11x7x1 ½ baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes until a dry toothpick, inserted in the middle of the dish will come out clean. Cool the dish on a wire rack. Drizzle on the icing and cut into 24 bars. Joe Drozda is an author about sports and food.

Free seminar to discuss sinus issues, balloon sinuplasty editorial@youarecurrent.com Sinusitis affects 37 million people each year, making it one of the most common health problems in the U.S. In the Midwest, as many as one in five people have complaints of chronic Sinusitis with incidents rising during peak allergy seasons of the spring and fall. Riverview Sinus Center is glad to provide some relief to patients by offering a surgical option for the treatment of Sinusitis called Balloon Sinuplasty. Balloon Sinuplasty is a new option to traditional sinus surgery and is the first truly innovative approach to treating chronic sinusitis in the past 20 years. Balloon Sinuplasty offers many advantages over traditional techniques. Balloon Sinuplasty is minimally invasive. It does not destroy normal tissue. It gently remodels your anatomy to help restore normal function. It does not require packing under normal situations. It has been rigorously studied in multiple peer-reviewed journals and it has been shown to be effective.

Insurance

Knowing when to increase your liability limits Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Gregg S. from Carmel: I tell my clients (I’m a lawyer) all the time about the benefits of increased limits and umbrella policies. I know it’s not costly, but could you approach the benefits from an insurance perspective? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Thanks for your note Willis. When we talk about increasing limits, we’re talking about liability limits. Liability limits have become a little bit more confusing because of all the options that are available. Right off the bat, I’m going to take that choice down to a yes or no question. Should you increase your liability limits from the base limits? There are reasons to say “yes” and reasons to say “no.” Let’s start with why you might choose to not increase your limits. You probably already know the reason to not increase your limits. It’s money. If you’re choosing between putting food on the table and increasing your insurance limits, it’s a pretty easy choice. However, increasing your limits is much less expensive then you may realize. Doubling your limits may only cost a couple of dollars per month after bundling your policies and selecting the proper payment plan. The main reason to say “yes” to increasing your liability limits is also pretty easy. It’s a great way to protect your assets, your family and yourself. Most states have mandated what the minimum liability limits will be, but those minimum limits are rarely adequate.

A couple of things add to the reasons to make an increase to your liability limits. The first one is inflation. Medical costs have been sky rocketing for the last twenty years and show no signs of slowing. These trends pretty much guarantee that it’s going to be costly if you hurt someone with your vehicle or someone gets hurt on your property. Increasing your limits is a great strategy to prevent these costs from coming out of your personal assets. One other thing to keep in mind is your level of risk. Increasing your level of risk only adds to the list of reasons you should increase your coverage limits. Keep these questions and others like them in mind when you think about your personal risks: • Do you drive car pools? • Do you have multiple drivers in your household? • Do you have a pool / trampoline / tree house / pond? • Do you have a boat? • Do you entertain guests often? There are many things to think about and plenty of reasons to consider increasing your liability limits. As always, we recommend talking this over with your independent insurance agent to find the correct solutions for YOU. Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to asktheadvisor@shepherdins.com.

ARCHITECTURE HITS THE RUNWAYS! Why we love it: The architectural, structural details in this season’s hottest styles are all figure boosters. Whether it's a structured wrap, collar, or corseted waistline, it helps to shape our bodies, highlighting what we love (and concealing what we don't). Architectural cuts also make a cool modern silhouette that's both feminine and strong.

IN THE TRENCHES This season step out in an incredible trench coat! For an updated style, look for ones with leather accents, rich colors, patent finishes, and quilted textures for a new spin on this classic silhouette. Quick tip: trench coats come in all shapes and sizes, so make sure you find the right fit for your body. Above-the-knee or mid-thigh styles work best on petite sizes, and always make sure to try on a trench coat with an appropriate layering element, like a mediumsize sweater, to ensure the right fit.

How to wear it: Look for the details that highlight your figure’s best —a wrapped skirt will flaunt your legs, and a sculptural neckline will draw the eye upward to show off a great upper body. We love the look of a clean, architectural-cut sheath with bare legs and a great pair of heels.

LEATHER FOR FALL! Why we love it: We love that leather has become a mainstay in our closets, from jackets to pants, now dresses, this trend is here to stay. Fall's iterations are a mix of both cool-girl minis and more feminine silhouettes. How to wear it: Channel a bold take on the trend in a red-hued leather dress and black pumps for a night out, or go for a cozier, street-styled version with sheer black tights, chunky ankle boots, and a cashmere cardigan to contrast the slick leather texture.

Outdoor rooms: crafting a living space Commentary by Randy Sorrell Rarely is an outdoor living space as immediately livable as this one. Most require the benefits of time to soften the stark reality of new. Sure, new looks fantastic! But it can be a little harsh with the brightness of freshly installed patio stone and the striking contrast of young plants surrounded by fresh mulch. This project, however, did not require the constraint of time. Perhaps it was the eastern exposure that hastened the glare and the overall jazzy design. Certainly the warmth of travertine sourced from Turkey coupled with the synthetic Azek decking had a serious impact on the instantaneous feel. Both have earthy undertones and distinct luxury textures that marry well together. The homeowner especially appreciates the generous upper landing as it spills onto the lower patio at a 45 degree angle for improved traffic flow. Very dramatic! Travertine and Azek are a few of our preferred materials to work with for precisely this reason. They age incredibly well, thrive in our mid-west harsh environment and will likely endure our lifetime while remaining relevant from a design perspective. I’m not confident that standard, concrete brick pavers and most other decking materials will offer that luxury. Outdoor rooms Outdoor fire features, seat walls and pergolas contribute to the immediacy of any project and

forward the outdoor room sensation that many homeowners are hungry to establish. The stone structures benefited from the rich chocolate color of the clay paver ribbon inserted into the face of each, which was repeated into an upscale patio edge around the travertine body. For convenience, a gas starter was installed over crisp black lava rock. New is wonderful. It’s fresh, stylish and is full of excitement. Nothing, however, exceeds the benefit of a little time, seasoned with memories of grilling, impromptu gatherings and laughter.

Something old is something new … again Commentary by David Decker As fun as it is, staying on top of trends can also be an overwhelming pastime. Between the hip eateries to tempt your palette and the latest fashion plates to hit your hips, it’s hardly easy to not be intrigued to try something new and refreshing. Changing the look and feel of your existing home is no exception. Given the kitchen is often the most lived in space of the home, it can also be where we tire of the look the fastest … and spend the most money remodeling. The good news—due to advances in refacing technologies, many homeowners are exploring the idea of replacing the existing doors and drawers by using materials that can offer the look and feel of an entire new space for a fraction of the cost. Reface and rejuvenate The meaning of “re-facing” can carry with it several definitions. Often it can be mistakenly interchanged with ”re-finishing” but that is not the most ideal use of the term. In fact, it is more like a cabinet facelift to be descriptive in the cosmetic days we live in. So what are the steps that a homeowner should prepare for? 1. All doors and drawer headers are removed and replaced while exposed frames and ends are resurfaced with a

real hardwood veneer. 2. Any portions of the cabinetry that will be veneered are sanded and cleaned to assure secure adhesion. 3. The new pre-finished veneer sheet is fitted to precise measurements and is then carefully applied for lasting adhesion. The veneered edges are trimmed flush with the cabinet components and sanded as needed. Often these edges are covered with special moldings. 4. The “new” doors and drawers are installed and drawer headers/boxes are replaced as needed. The final step in the process is mounting the molding and trim for a completely new and updated look to your kitchen and/or bath space. DIY Don’t As much as a do-it-yourself cabinet refacing job can lend itselfresults, it can also quickly become a costly nightmare if you are

left without the proper skills or equipment. A cabinet contractor will use the correct tools to remove or install cabinet doors, drawer fronts and replace hardware. Safety should always be at the forefront of any kitchen renovation. If your kitchen is older, you may have lead based painted cabinets that have dust particles that should be properly mitigated. Hiring a contractor with solid skill and familiarity with the materials and task at hand will most likely yield the best result not only for appearances but also for your checkbook by avoiding costly mistakes caused by lack of experience.
