Correction – In last week’s edition, it was written that The Cherish Center is the only organization providing child forensic interviewing at this level of sophistication and only child advocacy center providing interviews in Hamilton and surrounding counties to law enforcement. While the primary focus of Chauncie’s Place is child sexual abuse prevention, the organization does conduct forensic interviews when called upon. Boone County and Marion County also both have Child Advocacy Centers where forensic interviews are conducted.

UGLIEST CAR contest

editorial@youarecurrent.com Fishers Fire Dept. rededicated and refurbished a grave monument of Raymond “Bud” Moulder, a firefighter who fell in the line of duty. On Oct. 13, 1968, FFD was called out to the Goeke Dodge-Chrysler Auto Agency in Noblesville to combat a fire there, according to a past news article. FFD Public Information Officer Ron Lipps said an explosion occurred at the site, and Moulder’s last action was to push a Westfield firefighter out of the way of a collapsing wall. Moulder’s original grave marker was adorned with a medal for his service, but thieves stole it on multiple occasions. The new marker graphically represents the medal. Firefighter Ron Stolz was a major player in getting the monument replaced. Moulder’s widow, Virginia Sigler and family were present for the ceremony. “The family appreciates everything the Fishers Fire Department and Noblesville Fire Department and Hamilton County for everything they have done over the past 45 years and hope and pray that this tragedy never befalls on Hamilton County ever again,” Richard Moulder and family told FFD.

Art Education, Ball State University; and M.A. Secondary Education, Auble IUPUFW/St. Francis, Ft. Wayne, Ind. Why did you become a teacher? I had an amazing high school art teacher named Miss B who inspired me to go into art. I knew I wanted a career where I could share my love of art and also impact the lives of young people, so it was a natural fit. What goals do you have for your students? To develop a life-long appreciation of art, open doors to creative thinking and promote artistic confidence in each of my students. What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Ask what they did in class today. By sharing with you, it reinforces the concepts for them. Middle school kids truly love to hear themselves talk. What is your favorite movie? “The Burbs” with Tom Hanks Who is your favorite musician or band? John Lennon What’s something your students might not know about you? I have a ridiculous fear of roller coasters. Wagner’s work on display downtown –Westfield’s Shari Wagner is one of nearly 20 poets delivering new works inspired by Hoosier landmarks - barn, clock, theater, brick kilns, ballpark, mill and more.

Church begins construction of permanent home editorial@youarecurrent.com Epiphany Evangelical Lutheran Church recently held a groundbreaking ceremony at the site of its future worship facility on the northeast corner of 156th Street and Ditch Road in Westfield. Epiphany, a congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, has gathered for worship and Sunday school at Maple Glen
Elementary School for the past four years. The Rev. Jeremy Mills, the congregation’s pastor, spoke a few words to those assembled and read from Psalm 127: “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” Since its inception, Epiphany has grown from a small group that met for Bible study in the pastor’s home to approximately 180 members today. The church is expected to be completed by October 2013.

Cover story
Psychics, investigators, residents believe spirits still inhabit Fox Hollow Farm By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Rob Graves is a skeptic, even though he and his family members have heard unidentifiable noises, have had lamps move overnight and even seen dismembered figures through the windows of their Westfield home at 1111 E. 156th St. “Stuff happens I can’t explain,” he said. In May 2009, Graves and his wife, Vicki, purchased Fox Hollow Farm – the infamous former home of serial killer Herb Baumeister. “It all started with my wife seeing a guy in the woods,” Rob said, adding the man was walking around with a red shirt but did not have any legs. “She had seen it twice before telling me about it.” Graves contacted a paranormal group that was out at the farm a year before his family moved in and was told he lived in “the most haunted house in Indiana.” “Let me tell you what she saw and where she saw it,” the investigator told Rob, who was surprised when a total stranger repeated what his wife saw word for word. Another strange occurrence takes place in the basement. Graves said his vacuum is unplugged continuously despite being connected with an extension cord of adequate length. “We have to say, ‘stop unplugging the sweeper, I need to sweep,’” he said, adding that once spoken the unplugging ends. “It happens routinely.” Joe LeBlanc, a man who rented an apartment on the property in the farm’s in-law quarters, also has experienced unexplainable activities including having his door kicked in, knocking in the middle of the night, dead-bolted doors whip open and items moved overnight. LeBlanc has also seen the red-shirted man and other spirits. “There are places in my house my wife doesn’t like to go – that make her hair stand up on the back of her neck,” he said. www.currentinwestfield.com
Investigator Mike McDowell gets baseline readings at the pool
Hall uses night vision to record activity Once such spot is Rob’s bathroom, which psychics described as a portal for spirits to come and go. “She told me that before anybody else ever said a word,” he said. Graves has been told by psychics that the phenomenons taking place are from unrested souls. “They’re souls that have not moved on because so many were unidentified they haven’t had any closure,” he said. “It’s not a demonic thing.” Despite the unexplainable activity, Graves said his family has no plans to move. “We love it here,” he said. “We want to change the dynamics of what was.” The Graveses said they knew of the farm’s history before purchasing the home, but Rob said he rarely ever thinks about what occurred more than two decades ago. However, the story of what took place and is being reported caught
the eye of Indianapolis director Dan T. Hall. Hall began his paranormal documentary when filming a children’s program for Showtime at Central State Mental Institution in Indianapolis. “It was Friday the 13th. All this stuff started happening – creepy stuff,” he said. For six months last year, Hall and a paranormal investigation team, including psychics, crime scene investigators, a demonologist, electronic voice phenomenon and visual specialists, investigated the 18-acre estate for a movie. “The Haunting of Fox Hollow Farm” was the sixth paranormal documentary by Hall, but the most intensive. “Typically we spend days or a weekend, but we really hoped to find closure,” Hall said. The goal of the documentary was to find answers for people that were living – using all the tools and methods available, including ground penetrating radar. “There’s no script. The story is told by investigators,” said Hall. “Our goal was to help families find closure – trying to find evidence. . . We were trying to figure it out.” “The whole story was swept under the rug,” added Graves. “He (Baumeister) purposely picked people that wouldn’t be missed. . . He was a master manipulator, that was why he got away with it.” Graves said a majority of the killings occurred in the indoor pool and adjacent room. Once while LeBlanc was swimming alone he was grabbed from behind by the neck. Hall and his team also detected abnormalities in the pool like a psychic who saw a vision of energy and something pops up in the corner of Hall’s eye. “It was 12:30 p.m. and we were using an IR camera and heard someone come up behind us,” said Hall. “I’m skeptical, but that was a little unnerving.” “I’ve seen a shadow figure move from right to left into the pump room,” Graves added. Throughout all his experience and documen-

owner and family man, bought a quiet estate in Westfield on contract. Although never brought to trial, Herb Baumeister was the prime suspect in the disappearance and murder Baumeister of a number of individuals from the Midwest. Baumeister committed suicide in Canada before he could be brought to trial and never confessed to the crimes he was alleged to have committed. In 1996, authorities recovered more than 5,000 human bone fragments on the property from 11 confirmed bodies, but as many as 18 victims. Current residents and visitors to the property have reported unsettling feelings, inexplicable noises, and even seeing apparitions inside the house and around the grounds.
taries, Hall said Fox Hollow Farm is intriguing because of all the happenings in one location. “The evidence is startling, overwhelming and very disturbing,” he said. “I get more creeped out here (in the pool room).

Life lines It is our position that eliminating one’s land phone line may not be in our best interests. Although this is a growing trend, one element of not having a land line is how it affects calls to emergency services. Calls from cell phones are automatically directed to the nearest cell tower geographically. A call from a suburban or rural area conceivably could be directed to a tower in a neighboring county. Since first responders have designated areas to cover, a responder in southern Madison County could not respond to a call from northern Hamilton County. The time that it takes to redirect the call to the appropriate personnel could be the difference between life and death. Additionally, those who have moved and decided to retain cell numbers may want to reconsider that decision as well. Not only could an emergency call be directed to the wrong tower, but the old, likely out-of-area code number will not provide the agency with good information on the location of the emergency. Land lines may be old-fashioned, but they do automatically go to the appropriate emergency service agency.

Trust me
Commentary by Terry Anker
Who do we trust? Do we trust our spouses? Our kids? Our parents? Ourselves? Or, do we trust strangers? Experts? Journalists? Government? This simple question has vexed human kind since we could first consider our own existence. Perhaps it harkens back to time in the cave when we most had to rely upon one another. If we chose a weak or irresponsible member to our clan, we’d likely not survive very long in the harsh reality of a sabertoothed world. So, we developed mechanisms to measure the veracity and reliability of the promised commitment of others. The most successful of us became acutely aware of deceit and chose to align with those more worthy of our confidence. The trust in us of others became crucial to our flourishing. Even now, centuries later, political candidates vie to convince us of their genuineness in a desire to advance their own agenda. But trust affects not only the trusted but also the beneficiary of that bond. Isn’t one
who expects, demands or even profits from the trust of another in turn responsible to be trustworthy themselves? For example, isn’t one who expects honesty and integrity from their own children creating a compact whereby they are held to exhibit that same honesty and integrity themselves? Of course, one can only be held to account for our own actions – we are not our brother’s keepers. Yet if we are honorable, can’t we expect honor from others. And if we choose to prevaricate, shouldn’t we expect others to practice treachery? Even then, we are never sure of another’s uprightness. Perhaps this reality roots the maxim, “in God we trust, all other must pay cash.” People are flawed and truth requires difficult choices. But even in a realm lacking a carnivorous threat, can we hope to survive without trust? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

While we're feeling just a bit more confident about the outcome of the presidential election on Nov. 6, we still strongly believe Republican challenger Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, has squandered an opportunity to blow up incumbent President Obama's oftrepeated stump speech that goes like this: “We can't go back to the failed policies of the past.” Actually, we agree wholeheartedly with that, but not in the way of which Obama would approve. You see, we believe our president has become the new George W. Bush, doubling down on failed policies that simply don't work. In other words, we fervently believe Romney should say that he agrees with the president in that we should not go back to the failed policies of the past. Those would be Obama's own policies, if you were wondering. ••• Musings from the third presidential debate: Did it strike anyone else that Obama seemed edgy and highly agitated, while Romney seemed more “presidential?” … Debate go-between Bob Schieffer of CBS News was the best of the three moderators in this series. And he stayed awake! Our opinion: Candy Crowley need not apply again. Jim Lehrer did a mostly credible job. Meanwhile, we’d vote for Ann Coulter, but the debate commission wouldn’t like her. At all. She’s not part of the liberal mainstream media. And she’s funny! ••• Our Nov. 6 edition of Current actually will be delivered to your mailbox on Saturday.

Formula a savior in nursing situations Commentary by Danielle Wilson Every once in a while I feel the need to rant. This is one of those times. In the hotseat today– lactation consultants. And before you hang me out to dry, let me state that, of course, breast milk is awesome. Go breast milk! Not so awesome are the pushy, condescending, self-righteous women who make you feel like a crackhead mama when you choose to use formula. Case in point: my twin sister. She is a firsttime mom who lives away from family. Her newborn daughter was constantly fussing and would never sleep for more than an hour or so. She still wet her diapers but didn’t seem to be thriving like the books say a little one should. So she did what any conscientious parent would do and visited the pediatrician. The doctor was disappointed in my niece’s lack of weight gain and recommended that my sister supplement her nursing with formula. He also suggested that she rent a breast pump so that she could see exactly how much milk she was producing. Worrying that she had been starving her baby and with post-partum hormones raging, my sister drove 40minutes to a lactation company to obtain the pump. Was she met with compassion? Validation? Encouragement? No. With a crying baby in her arms, my sister was subjected to a lengthy lecture on the unique advantages of breast milk and the destructive repercussions of Similac. This woman flat out told her that she
should ignore the advice of a medical professional and “just try harder.” Are you kidding me? How dare she! How dare she cause my sister, a new mother, to feel inadequate! Listen up, ladies. Breast feeding doesn’t always work. It’s not always easy and I firmly believe it is NOT always the best option for moms. I tried it with my first baby, and after two weeks of crippling sleep deprivation, I finally decided to let my husband lend a hand by taking a night feeding. The supplementing literally saved my sanity and probably our marriage. Babies two through four began receiving at least one formula bottle a day from the get-go so that I could be a happier (and, consequently, better) parent. And guess what? All of our children met every milestone on time and have been extremely healthy thus far. (Of course, that could also be because we chose to have them immunized, but that’s a whole ’nother column.) I am just so tired of hearing women criticize other women because they choose to use formula. Enfamil does not contain arsenic, people! It’s simply a healthy alternative to breast milk and in many circumstances, a lifesaver. And that’s my rant. Peace out.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: How Much Will My Case Cost? During many initial consultations with clients, one of the most frequently asked questions at the outset of a case is “how much will my case cost?” Unfortunately it is very difficult to determine an accurate estimation of the total cost to finalize any given case, as each set of facts in a family law case is unique and can change during the pendency of the divorce. This difficulty is due in part because much of what may unfold during the pendency of a family law case, and thus the time necessary to complete the same, is unforeseeable from the outset. For example, while you may choose not to serve formal discovery requests, if the opposing party requests the same of you, your attorney will have to respond. Additionally, there are certain issues and/or procedures which are outside of your attorney’s control that may increase your fees. For instance, some county courts have local rules making mediation mandatory prior to a requested final hearing, thus this is a known cost. However, in other counties without such requirements, individual judges may still order the parties to submit to mediation or a form of alternative dispute resolution prior to attending and/or scheduling a final hearing, thereby increasing the fees to finalize a case. Attorneys should be upfront with their client about the potential time and cost required to finalize their case. There are steps clients can take to control the costs of their case to the extent that is possible. One manner to drastically reduce the attorneys’ fees is for the client to communicate directly with the opposing party. If parties are able to reach an informal settlement outside of the courtroom, not only will they save attorneys fees associated with trial preparation and attendance, but they will maintain control over the terms of the agreement. Additionally, if the parties are able to conference with their

Current in Westfield
attorneys for legal advice, but communicate directly with the opposing party to reach the terms of an agreement, in what our attorneys term “kitchen table” negotiations, the attorneys fees will be drastically reduced than if two attorneys must undertake substantial communication to come to a final agreement in any given matter. Custody Evaluations. In the event child custody is contested, either party may request that the Court order a custody evaluation be performed. If such is ordered or agreed to by the parties, then the family members will be interviewed by a psychologist who will determine what is in the best interest of the children with regard to custody and issue a report outlining his/her findings. Custody evaluations, while useful, can cost upwards of $5,000.00 depending upon the evaluator selected. Business Valuation. In the event you and/or your spouse owns a family business or a share in a closely held business, which is not expressly set aside from the marital estate pursuant to a prenuptial agreement, then the business will need to be valued in order to properly divide the marital estate. If you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement as to the value of the business, you may agree or request that the court order a formal business valuation. Business valuations may cost upwards of $10,000.00, depending on the type of business and the business valuator selected. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Robertson, Utnage win Halloween Writing Contest By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com
Lindsey Robertson and Ashley Utnage have been named the youth and adult division winners in the second Halloween Writing Contest sponsored by Current Publishing. Youth Division Winner – Ashley Utnage Ten-year-old Ashley, a Fishers resident, said creative costumes are her favorite thing about Halloween. “I make it or by accessories,” she said. “I’m going to be a cowgirl with one of my friends (this year).” Utnage Ashley’s topic center on proper etiquette when wearing costumes while out trick-or-treating.
“I was brainstorming one day and had a really cool idea,” she recalled. “This story has a lesson.” Ashley enjoys reading magical adventures and added her own interesting twist of Halloween night trick-or-treaters. “Adding a magical spell would be a cool twist to it,” she said. Ashley also has written her own book, Talent Trouble, about a kid who likes playing his musical instrument but isn’t any good and ends up winning the local talent show. “I really like writing stories,” said the St. Louis de Montfort fifth-grader. “All the kids in my class know I write the longest stories.” Adult Division Winner – Lindsey Robertson What a difference a year makes. Robertson came across the inaugural Halloween writing contest last year.

Priscilla’s Pumpkins By Lindsey Robertson
Priscilla was a serial gardener. The landscape around her home was the picture of perfection: manicured lawn, freshly mulched beds, trimmed hedges. A yard no weed dare take root in. A yard all the more impressive because she maintained it single handed. She had been widowed some years before and the neighbors said gardening was therapeutic for her. Priscilla’s horticultural pride was the vegetable patch behind the house, which contained the epitome of a pumpkin vine. The plant produced a single, perfectly proportioned pumpkin each year. Priscilla was as well known in the neighborhood for her annual pumpkin carving as for her gardening prowess. Her pumpkins never suffered the indecency 16 | October 30, 2012
of being hallowed; instead the pumpkin was left whole with intricate designs etched into the outer flesh. Sometimes the designs reflected events in Priscilla’s life, other times the spirit of the holiday. Several years ago there had been her late husband’s portrait, followed by a knife, a wrinkled human hand, then a raven, a cat, a trowel, and last year was her dachshund, Noodle. On Halloween, the un-carved pumpkin sat on Priscilla’s porch. She could not decide on what it should be. The first pumpkin had grown the year Jack died. No decision was needed that year as Jack’s face was already on the pumpkin when she picked it off the vine. The face had come as a shock— Jack’s body had never been found. Priscilla concluded the Jack pumpkin was a malicious prank and was relieved the next year when a plain pumpkin grew in. She’d cut the pumpkin off the vine and driven a knife in near the stem, intending to turn it into a proper Jack-o-Lantern.
“I wrote the story then but I didn’t have Internet and didn’t mail it before the deadline,” she said. When she saw this year’s notice, Robertson found her Robertson story, made a few changes and submitted it. While she has done creative writing in the past, this is the first writing contest the 29-year-old Noblesville has won. “I was aiming for something unique – not another haunted cemetery story,” she said. “I was trying to go for something a little different.” Decorations and pumpkin carving (the focus of her story) are what Robertson enjoys most about the October holiday. “I’m a grown adult that still decorates the house for Halloween,” she said.
warned you,” he said, hiding a grin. The old couple pulled into the driveway, and Robert hid behind a tree. He was scared they would get mad that everyone stole the candy. “Where did all of these pumpkins come from?” said the husband, clearly confused. The wife just smiled and said, “You’re tired. You need rest.” After the old man went inside, the woman walked over to Robert with the candy. He was frightened. “It wasn’t my fault. I tried to warn them.” “You did the right thing, so I am rewarding you. Thanks.” She handed over the gigantic candy basket with a warm smile on her face. Every Halloween, there’s someone who has a sign that says “Take one”. Every Halloween, there are kids who don’t make good decisions. But every year, there’s someone who does the right thing. Moral: Do what is asked and you shall be rewarded. The knife had vanished from her hand and the image of the blade appeared on the pumpkin’s surface. The following year she made the mistake of touching the top of the pumpkin. Angered by the loss of her hand, she had attempted to remove the plant, but it wouldn’t budge or succumb to any poison. Leaving a pumpkin on the vine was not an option, as some unfortunate animal wound up on the pumpkin’s flesh. Last year it had been Noodle. As evening approached, Priscilla made her way to the porch clutching a bowl of candy. She lost her footing on the uneven planks and the candy flew into the yard. Priscilla braced herself against the fall with her only hand. Her head came to a stop inches above the pumpkin. Then, with a sickening crack, her wrist gave way completely. While trick-or-treaters traipsed across Priscilla’s lawn in search of candy, their parents admired the pumpkin on the porch. The terrified expression on Priscilla’s self-portrait was alarmingly life-like.

Some universities, such as Penn State, encourage this by assigning every space a number so that strangers really don’t have a chance to park next to regular tailgaters. Some colleges, like Northwestern and Indiana, have lots where they separate the louder student tailgate parties far away from other fans. Even pro teams have private lots for big spenders. This way the ambiance of any given tailgate lot should remain constant for its regulars with no big surprises. Now imagine that a stranger shows up in your reserved parking lot with a huge, loud, industrial generator that has no muffler. As this person sets up huge speakers and begins to raise the noise level by playing rock music, his entourage gathers and starts to consume large quantities of beer. This could change the mood of everyone in that lot who were used to quiet upscale tailgating. This happened to us at a recent game. It wasn’t appreciated. Several people complained to the police. Tempers were raised. A word to the wise is to have consideration for others who are near you. If you find yourself in an area where the tailgaters frown on your idea of a party, it might be good for you to move to a
spot away from the crowd. Here’s a recipe for a quiet adult tailgate party to start off your day of socializing. It’s for a great salsa that is also heart healthy. It’s called Kiwi Salsa.
Ingredients: 2 Kiwis peeled and diced; 1 small red onion chopped; 1 chopped red bell pepper; 1 clove of garlic (crushed); 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; 2 tablespoon lemon juice; 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes Preparation: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and serve on endive, baked chips or quartered pitas.

Safety Not Guaranteed • R, 85 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd In addition to being one of my favorite films 2012, “Safety Not Guaranteed” also nabs the title of Best Movie Nobody’s Seen. This tiny indie came and went from theaters quickly but inspired plenty of passion among the few who bought tickets. This quirky black comedy/drama is about a trio of journalists sent to check out a cryptic help-wanted ad for a companion to travel through time. “Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before,” it concludes. Aubrey Plaza, best known for TV’s “Parks and Recreation,” plays Darius, a cynical intern looking not so much for her big break as something to break the monotony. She finds it in Kenneth (Mark Duplass), the odd but oddly charming fellow behind the ad. Paranoid and defensive, he
sponsored by my toy garden
slowly starts to let his guard down and a nascent romance begins to take form. Do people in this story really travel through time? I won’t tell you, not only to save the surprise but also because it’s not really germane to the success of this film. “Safety Not Guaranteed” does not dazzle us with sci-fi hocus-pocus, rather studies what effect the possibility of its existence has on a small group of sharply-drawn characters. What a daffy, dark, joyous ride. Movie: A-

Getting productivity out of creating culture Commentary by CJ McClanahan In a world where everyone is struggling to differentiate themselves, most leaders agree that they’ve got to figure out how to get the most out of our team. You probably ask yourself the following questions regularly: • How can I get more productivity out of my staff? • What is the best way to bring a new person up to speed? • How can I keep a “bad apple” from influencing the rest of the team? I guarantee you that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of books available that deal with each of these topics. In addition, I am certain that most of the solutions discussed in these books are viable and relevant. However, because I know that you don’t like to read all that much, I’ll suggest a simpler solution. Before you’re able to get more out of your team, you need to develop the foundation upon which all of their performance is judged. You’ve got to build a great culture. This is hard work and most companies pay very little attention to culture because it’s difficult to measure. However, we’ve all been part of a rotten culture that is characterized by high turnover, unhappy customers and slow growth. So, how do you do it? I recommend a three
step process. • Define your Culture - Decide what is really important to your organization and get it down on paper. What are the rules (e.g. – we respect our coworkers, etc.) that should govern behavior? • Get Commitment from the Team – Have every member of the team review your culture statement and create a large poster that each team member can sign. Hang this poster somewhere that employees and customers can easily see it. • Live you Culture – As the leader, it is up to you to reinforce this culture every single day. Refer to your culture in meetings, memos and any other opportunities to have to interact with your staff. If you are interested in making a lasting and meaningful change in your company, make it priority to invest in your culture. The benefits will be worth the effort. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Grammar Guy
Is ‘alright’ all right?
Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question from Jeanne Flanders: I enjoy your commentaries. They bring memories of English classes during the 1950s with Mr. Eiler. Mr. Eiler had been my mother’s English teacher in the 1930s. Mr. Eiler had a list of words written on the black board that were not acceptable. If a student used one of his no-no words on any homework, that paper received an automatic goose egg. As the year progressed, the list of no-no words grew longer. At the top of his list was alright. Using alright was all wrong. Answer: I’ve received a couple of letters about the word “alright” recently. Some of them pointed out I’ve even slipped and used it myself a few times. Thankfully, my wonderful readers were on stand by to correct my error. I’m glad they did, as it highlights an important tenet of good grammar: Use of poor grammar should be pointed out and ridiculed as publicly and humiliatingly as possible, especially when the offender has the hubris to write a weekly column about it. Just kidding. But on to “alright,” which is, as you may have guessed by now, anything but all right. “Alright” is part of a growing list of colloquialisms which
has snuck its way into everyday usage. Other words on the list include “irregardless,” “anyways” and, shudder, “like” used as a conjunction. These words are so commonly (mis)used, in fact, that Microsoft Word includes them in its dictionary, save for “irregardless.” Now, as grammarians, we must leave room for the language to grow, and it should be noted that “alright” has its defenders. Those in its corner say it has gained a colloquial distinction from “all right.” “All right,” they argue, signifies that something is proper or agreeable, whereas “alright” signifies that something is average or simply acceptable. In that case, you might say a perfectly laid out table is all right in preparation for guests to arrive, but the lukewarm coffee you end up serving them is “alright.” I wouldn’t necessarily say that, mind you, but some might. At any rate, dear readers, please do not hesitate to nudge me back onto the path of proper grammar should you see me stray. It is only together that we achieve perfection, after all. Just be gentle about it, all right? Jordan Fischer is an editor and investigative reporter for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at projects@ youarecurrent.com.

LIFESTYLE Et cetera Is ‘Double Victory’ possible in our divided nation? Commentary by Julie Osborne “But be ye assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer. One day we shall win freedom, but not only for ourselves. We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win YOU in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.” Those were the words of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther, Jr. in a sermon titled “Loving your Enemies” delivered Nov. 17,1957, at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, in Montgomery, Ala. These words linger on my mind as election day approaches and I wonder, in these days of mudslinging, dirt digging, and personal attacks, if “Double Victory” is even possible. Will there be a time when I turn on my television and actually enjoy commercials again? Will the blame game ever stop or will the accusation torch just be passed from one administration to the next? Most of all, I wonder if Dr. King were alive today what he would think of this election. What would he do? What voice would he add to the conversation? He was a man who had a passion-
ate calling for justice and a dedication to “Reconciliation, not victory”. It was a calling that put his life and his family’s life in danger daily, landed him in jail and got him severely beaten numerous times, and it eventually led to his assassination. I wonder if things would be different if Dr. King were alive today, for his story is living proof that one person can make a difference. I hope and pray that one person will make a difference when elected on Nov. 6 and that his vision will reach beyond just winning votes but, in the years to come, winning hearts of contemporaries, world leaders, and the people he has been elected to serve. May our future leaders remember the example of Dr. King and “follow another way”, one which focuses on reconciliation and healing our divided nation so that one day a double victory may be possible.

Did you know that trained stylists, who have mastered the art of dimensional color, are able to strategically place highlights and lowlights that work with the shape of your haircut?

Book an appointment at Salon 01 now and update your look for the new season!
CONCEALING YOUR BREAKOUT IN 5 EASY STEPS! 1. Treat: Using a salicylic acid treatment or a salicylic-glycolic acid combination. This will help dry out the pimple and assist in clearing the complexion. 2. Prep: Apply moisturizer and primer as usual, but avoid putting them directly on your pimple(s) in order to keep your impending makeup from slipping off. Tip: dab a clean cotton swab over the pimple to ensure it's free of product. 3. Apply foundation: After sweeping foundation on all over, use a nonlatex sponge on the area where there's a pimple to stipple/push the makeup into the skin. 4. Conceal: Take a fine-tipped concealer brush and use a little concealer that has salicylic acid built in. Lightly layer the medicated concealer right on top of the pimple, making sure the color completely matches your foundation. Remember: if you go too light, you're highlighting the area, if you go too dark you're creating a spot. 5. Powder: Finish with a light dusting of yellow-tinted powder. This will set the product onto the blemish, and also, that yellow tint will counteract any redness. KEEP YOUR EYES LOOKING BRIGHT WITH THESE EASY TIPS! 1. Curl your eyelashes and add a coat of mascara. The lift will help your eyes look more open and awake instantly. 2. Dab some concealer under your eyes to mask dark circles. Focus an orange-tinted concealer from the inner corner of your eye to the middle of your iris for the most natural coverage. 3. Line the inner rim of your eye with a white liner. This will make the whites of your eyes look larger, which will make you look more awake. 4. Pale skin is a giveaway of the sleep-deprived. Swipe bronzer along your hairline, from the tops of your ears to the bottom of your lips, and along your jawline. Finish with a dusting of blush on the apples of your cheeks.

The Atlantis, Bahamas IntroducingThe All-New 2013
Commentary by Tracy Line I get many inquiries about the Atlantis in the Bahamas. I recently stayed there, so I thought I’d share information about it. The Atlantis property is huge. We stayed four days and did not see everything. What’s filling this expansive acreage? A 50,000 square foot casino, 140-acre water park (Aquaventure), 11 pools, fitness center, spa, 6 areas of lodging, a dolphin experience center, shops galore and the world’s largest marine habitat. Oh, and over two dozen dining venues and nightclubs. All in all, outside of the beautiful beach with crystal clear blue water, I felt like I was in Las Vegas. The resort grounds are well kept, the amenities numerous, and the staff goes out of its way for guests. I also got lost several times (just like I do at the hotels in Vegas). Lodging options aren’t inexpensive. There are 3 main towers: Royal, Coral and Beach. Royal is in the center of the property and is the priciest tower. Coral is next to it, and the Beach Tower (least expensive) is next to it. Beach Tower is the oldest, and furthest from everything but offers a nice beach. You can live in the condos at the Reef and Harborside Resort has apartments by the marina. At the other end of the property is the Cove. This resort is elegant, peaceful Koi ponds, contemporary style and a private pool and beach.

Rumor has it the stars stay here. I can’t blame them. The resort is not all-inclusive but offers meal plans. They’re a good idea: food, drinks and extras can get expensive (there is even a charge for the fitness center). The Atlantis is a nice property for those who like action, activity and water fun. It offers great family adventure and is a nice getaway for couples wanting to enjoy the beach, a la Las Vegas. Tracy Line is a travel writer and agent, and the owner of Noblesville Travel.

SHOWCASE OF HOMES
Adding a wine cellar in the basement
TalkToTucker.com
Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL BASEMENT: This home is located in the Laurelwood subdivision on the west side of Carmel. The current owner has lived in the home for 17 years and the house was built in 1991. While most of the basement was already finished, there was an unfinished area that provided room for the addition of a wine cellar. WHY BUILD A WINE CELLAR: The owner had been storing cases of wine in the corner of the unfinished utility room. “We have developed an interest in wine over the last 10 years. We visit Italy a lot and have begun buying wine over there. We had some rough racking in the basement, but it was not organized.” WINE STORAGE VS. TASTING TABLE: “At first we were going to have a tasting room built, but we realized that we would not be drinking wine in the basement so we made it into just a wine cellar.” ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS: The design called for the room to be framed out at roughly 10’ x 10’ and includes room for 1,100 bottles of wine. The room includes mahogany wine racking and trim with mahogany wood paneling on the walls. The door to the room includes 48” insulated mahogany double doors.
