Calendar survey seeks public input By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Boy Scouts to collect food for local pantries By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield Boy Scout Troop 107 and local Cub Scouts will be collecting non-perishable food items door-to-door for the Open Doors and Amanda Strong food pantries on Nov. 10. Food collected will go directly to the Open Doors Thanksgiving Meal and the Amanda Strong Christmas Basket programs for families in Westfield. “Troop 107 and the scouts in Westfield have been supporting needy families in Westfield for over 10 years,” said Jim Hester, Troop 107 committee chairman. “Our partnership with Open Doors and Amanda Strong have helped countless Westfield families and helped us to achieve our mission of Westfield Scouts helping Westfield families.” Residents are asked to place food items in the bag provided and set it out by their mailboxes before 9 a.m. Nov. 10. A Cub Scout will come by and collect the food. The Boy Scouts are not able to cover all neighborhoods. Those interested in contributing are welcome to drop off food directly to the scouts at the Christ United Methodist Church Garage from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 10. The church is located at 318 N. Union St. in downtown Westfield. Members of Troop 107 will be there to greet and collect the donations. “Our Scouts have stepped up with a number of projects,” said Westfield Mayor Andy Cook. “I’m really proud of them.” For more information, contact Jim Hester at 502-6281 or scouter107@comcast.net.

With news of Noblesville Schools adopting a balanced calendar for next school year on Oct. 23, Westfield Washington Schools is seeking to inform and gather input from the public on potential a calendar change. Supt. Mark Keen said the school board just adopted a school calendar for 2013-2014 and the district is now seeking input for the 2014-2015 school calendar. “Normally, we adopt the calendar on a two-year cycle. However, there were numerous questions about the balanced calendar in our last survey, so we decided to let patrons view some balanced calendar proposals and offer feedback to determine how much interest there is in that type of school calendar,” he wrote on his superintendent’s blog. The district has developed three 2014-2015 calendars, which are available to view at www.wws.k12.in.us/file/3840/view. The options include a traditional trimester (replication of the adopted 2013-2014 calendar), and semester and trimester versions of the balanced calendar. A short calendar survey is open now to Nov. 20 for feedback. Keen provided four points he asks resident to think about as they consider what’s best for the students of Westfield Washington Schools: • Most school districts divide the school year into semesters, so they want to end the semester at Winter Break which forces them to start school in late July when using a balanced calendar. Since we operate on trimesters, this is not an issue for us. • The original intent of a balanced calendar was to use the two-week break for remediation for those students who need a little more help. Unfortunately, that has not been done in many districts, and we would not do so here. • Summer learning loss reaches its peak at six weeks off from school. Balanced calendars still have around eight weeks off, which does not reduce the impact of summer learning loss. However, we have developed a wonderful program, Summer R.O.C.K.S., that helps alleviate summer learning loss, so this is also not an issue for us. • There are benefits to having breaks of two weeks to refresh and still not be away from school too long for learning loss to set in. This is a benefit to both students and staff.

Scouting project beautifies free clinic By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield’s Heart and Soul Clinic, 202 Penn St., received a facelift Oct. 27 as a group of Boy Scouts from Troop 107 beautified the city owned building and land for David Jones’ Eagle Scout Project. “It’s really nice they came out and are helping,” said Jones. “They’re a good group of guys.” Jones, 14, is a freshman at Guerin Catholic High School and said he learned about a potential project at St. Luke’s Church. “I knew they needed a ramp and when I met with them I learned they had one,” Jones said, adding his current project idea came from talking with Heart and Soul Clinic’s Sandy Kirsch. Jones’ project included the installation of a railing along a back walkway ramp, as well as removal of gravel and placement of landscaping around the clinic. Scouts planted bushes and flowering plants around the building before adding mulch. Jones also stained the front porch and clinic sign. “The hardest part was going out for the first time and getting donations,” he said. “Once you started doing it, it got easier.” Local businesses that assisted Jones with his project include Country Mulch, Menards, Chick-fil-A, and PPG Porter Paints. Troop 107 is charted at First United Methodist Church and located directly north of Heart and Soul Clinic. Jones hopes his project can be a reference to other Scouts looking into their own projects. “It will be very neat seeing it – a visual reminder of how much work went into it,” he said. Jones began his Scouting career in second grade. “It’s been very rewarding as a parent to see him grow,” said Phil Jones. “I’m very proud of everything he’s done as a Boy Scout.” Jones said the project is the last requirement he has to complete before going in front of the Eagle Board. He is a member of Order of the Arrow, a Firecrafter and traveled to Philmont Scout Ranch last summer. Once Jones achieves Scouting’s highest rank, he plans to remain active and work on earning Eagle Palms. Campouts and hanging out and learning with his fellow Scouts are what Jones said he enjoys most about Scouting. “I like being able to get outdoors with the guys and having fun,” he said.

Public Safety Intersection changing to 4-way stop COMMUNITY

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

A local intersection will soon turn from a twoway stop to a four-way stop. The Westfield City Council approved the change at the intersection of 169th Street and Gray Road after officials coordinated the change with Noblesville officials. Police Chief Joel Rush said the department monitors crashes monthly. Aside from U.S. 31,

Know more The following data was collected from the Westfield Public Works Engineering Division investigation of the intersection: • 12 Month Accident Totals: 10 accidents (21 accidents in the past 36 months) • Gray Road Annual Average Daily Traffic: 3,600 vehicles per day • 169th Street Annual Average Daily Traffic: 920 vehicles per day • The vehicular volume entering the intersection from Gray Road averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any eight hours of an average day; and the combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from 169th Street averages at least 200 units per hour for the same eight hours, with an average delay to 168th Street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour.

169th St. eastbound at Gray Rd. the 168th Street-Gray Road intersection has the second most accidents and the most number of injuries, including six in the last quarter. “This will slow people down,” explained Rush. “Most problems have been left turns.” Because of an increase in traffic accidents at the intersection of Gray Road and 169th St an intersection study was performed by the Westfield Public Works Department along with input from Schneider Engineering. Upon initial visit of the site there were several areas of concern including: sight line distance, stop bar placement and road geometry. The Westfield Public Works Engineering Division recommended that the least expensive and most impactful method would be the installation of additional stop signs both northbound and southbound on Gray Road. There are similar roads with similar speeds and volumes within the city that have four-way stops, including 161st Street and Carey Road, 161st Street and Oakridge Road, and 156th Street and Springmill Road.

Cover Story

From lemonade stand to fundraiser, Westfield duo’s vision to serve is contagious By Katy Frantz • katy@youarecurrent.com The drizzling rain and near 45-degree temperature did not dampen the energy or discourage two of Westfield’s youngest philanthropists. The H&M fundraiser that Peighton Isley, 9, and Olivia Johnson, 10, had spent months planning and promoting kicked off at 5:15 p.m. Oct. 19. The event honors two younger girls who are fighting equally rare diseases. The members of the Isley and Johnson families all agreed that the event would not be canceled. Their reasoning for continuing the event: If those girls could fight horrible diseases, they could stand the rain. Peighton’s eyes sparkled behind pink-rimmed glasses as she enthusiastically handed out bumblebee-striped bracelets with “H and M Fundraiser” written in pink letters. Olivia stood by with her arms tucked under her black afghan to keep warm. She, along with her friend, had poured hours of work into planning the event. The “H” in H&M stands for Henley Romine of Carmel. She was diagnosed with Stage IV High Risk Neuroblastoma in August 2010. Initially, she received treatments at Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York. Now she has turned to Dr. Giselle Sholler in Grand Rapids, Mich., where Henley recently had aggressive treatments. Likewise, the “M” is for 4-year-old Morgan Oisten of Noblesville. Diagnosed at 8 months with Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease, Morgan is one of two Hoosiers fighting the disease. Since she was 10 months old, Morgan has received an injection of Kineret to stave off the genetic inflammation and allow her to grow and function. This fundraiser wasn’t the only way that Peighton and Olivia have reached out to the two girls. For the past year they have worked together to serve lemonade and never discussed the possibility of dividing the money between each other. “Any chance that they get they want to get out there and do a lemonade stand,” said Kelly Isley, Peighton’s mom. “It has, without question, always been a given that when they have a lemonade stand they put the money in their jar and present it to Henley and Morgan.” The idea for the recent fundraiser was first formed on a sunny spring day while Peighton and Olivia were selling lemonade. Halfway through the afternoon they came running to Olivia’s mother, Emily Johnson, with their plan. “Their enthusiasm was so contagious,” said 14 | November 6, 2012

Morgan Oisten

Olivia Johnson, 10, and Peighton Isley, 9, stand with their lemonade stand in the Oak Manor Clubhouse in Westfield on Oct. 19, 2012. Peighton started selling lemonade two years ago to raise money for Henley Romine, a young girl fighting stage IV High Risk Neuroblastoma. Olivia joined a year ago wanting to support Morgan Oisten, a young girl diagnosed with Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMIO). Emily. “I was excited for them. They were just beaming.” The idea gained momentum. The girls used the profits from the lemonade stand to buy a binder and other supplies to start their planning. They worked full force to make the event a reality. A creative color scheme came out of their brainstorming: black, yellow and hot pink. The black and bright yellow stood for Henley’s nickname “Brave Bee” and hot pink added to represent Morgan’s favorite color. Mike Oisten, Morgan’s father, created a logo joining the first letter of both girls’ names and combining the three colors. By midsummer the girls had everything done. Even Steve and Tammy Rodgers, Peighton’s grandparents and partners in Stuart’s Steakhouse, had made plans of providing dinner at the fundraiser. It was evident to their mothers

that the girls had the idea in their heads, and it was going to happen. So they all sat down to discuss a date. “They were very decisive. They had a vision. . . and worked very well together,” Emily said. Emily and Kelly said that the girls thought through every aspect of the event. While they helped where they needed to as adults, the marketing ideas, crafts, race, walk and scavenger hunt came from the girls brainstorming. The girls rallied friends and acquaintances in a collective effort to create crafts, bake treats and draw a map for the scavenger hunt. Even some members of Morgan’s family brought crocheted hats and scarves to sell. More assistance came through babysitters and neighborhood friends. It took a huge team. Reflecting on the whirlwind of events that brought them to the event date, Johnson and Isley are amazed. Community support was

strong with a turnout of more than 100 adults and kids. “There were several names on the registration that we had early that were here, in the rain, to give of their time and be here to support not only Henley and Morgan, but Peighton and Olivia as well,” Kelly said. The members of the Romine and Oisten families attended the event as well, bringing Henley and Morgan with them. This was the first time meeting for the two families. As the parents introduced themselves, Morgan and Henley exchanged a smile and a hug. Peighton and Olivia asked the families to speak to participants about their journies. Both fathers shared their little girls’ stories. “The doctors said [Morgan’s] legs were never going to be straight,” Oisten said of his daughter who now is walking like any other little girl. “We are truly blessed by the love and support that we get,” said Grant Romine, Henley’s father. “We trust in God and where he leads.” For Peighton and Olivia, the event was a success. The best part for Peighton was probably the scavenger hunt and getting the candy ready. Johnson enjoyed planning the event and thinking of the two girls. “We hope to get more money so we can donate [it] to them,” Olivia said. “For their medical bills,” Peighton added. To those who were unable to attend the H&M event but still want to donate, contact Kelly Isley at 523-5634 or Emily Johnson at 376-9035 to find out how to make a donation. Contributions from the event went to the NOMID alliance and the Romine family for medical bills. www.currentinwestfield.com

Mark of excellence It is our opinion that Westfield Washington Schools (students, parents, teachers and staff) should be commended for receiving an A in the Indiana Department of Education’s new school grading system. “Earning an A from the State Board of Education validates our other district benchmarks such as excellent End of Course Assessment scores; outstanding ISTEP+ scores; great NWEA individual student growth; a high Keen graduation rate; and first-rate Advanced Placement passing results,” said WWS Supt. Mark Keen. In addition to the district grade, each of the schools received letter grades. Eight of the district’s nine schools received an A, while WMS received a B – narrowly missing an A even though it has been recognized by the IDOE as a Four Star School for the past two years. Under the IDOE grading system, Indiana high schools receive letter grades calculated on four categories: performance, improvement, graduation rate, and college and career readiness. For elementary, intermediate and middle schools, there are three categories: performance and improvement, growth, and participation. Indiana’s A through F grading system gives the public a clear and concise assessment of how well their schools are doing. This system is a new and better way of measuring and reporting school performance each year, as required by state law.

While we love our home and being there, it seems that days go by without ever sitting down to a meal. And though I lament this reality, there is so much good happening on the other side of our front door to which receptivity is warranted. So we gather our family and go into the world. Heartland Truly Moving Pictures gave us such an opportunity just this past week. Our family had been in Brown County for much of the weekend, enjoying the turning autumn colors and the company of good friends. But we dashed off to tux up and attend the annual awards gala as the guest of a dedicated board member. It would have been easy to have demurred. It would have been easy to pass on another event. But as so often happens, we are certainly glad that we did not. Heartland’s film festival has become an Indianapolis and now international mustdo. The winning film “Cairo” illustrates the reality of sexism in the Muslim world. Check it and others out at www.trulymovingpictures.

org. Urbane people and talented filmmakers would have been enough to make this evening worth the effort, but it held another moment. At dinner, a guest we’d just met was announced as recently becoming a US citizen. We welcomed him to the fold and asked him to share his story. It seems that while he’s lived here more than two decades, he felt it wrong to remain longer without casting a ballot. Wow. He’d built a business, raised a family and paid taxes without complaint. But decided he could no longer, in good faith, call this place home without fulfilling his obligation to vote. While delighted by his choice, one is chilled by the millions of “natural” Americans who are not able to make the same commitment. Please go to the polls.

Tuesday will prove a momentous occasion on many fronts. Here is whom your favorite newspaper owners endorse (and why): President – Mitt Romney, perhaps by a wider margin than previously thought possible. We believe he’ll have a laser-like focus on the economy. Plus, he’s not an enemy to small business. President Barack Obama’s policies, frankly, scare us. We believe Romney will shore up defense and justice, two areas in which we strongly place stock. U.S. Senate – We’re going with State Treasurer Richard Mourdock. As much as we were (and still are) aghast at his comments about “God’s will,” we believe he will march to Romney’s fiscal conservancy beat. Does that mean we just want him added to the conservative side of the aisle? Yes, it does. U.S. House of Representatives – Susan Brooks gets our nod. Some call her a graduate from Republican Clone School. We don’t see her that way. She is an independent thinker, and we believe she will be heard. Governor – We like Mike Pence and his fiscal conservancy. We view him as the one most likely to not significantly alter the course charted by the accomplished Gov. Mitch Daniels (who, we still believe, should be running for president in Romney’s stead). Indiana Attorney General – Greg Zoeller is our guy here. He filed suit against the Obama administration for foisting ObamaCare on us. We don’t need it. Indiana Schools Superintendent – It is incumbent Tony Bennett vs. Glenda Ritz. Bennett has put in place reforms (not nearly enough), while Ritz stands for uprooting teacher evaluations and ISTEP, and she is against voucher expansion. It’s Bennett for us. Whether our endorsements are correct is unimportant. What IS important is that everyone gets out to exercise his or her right (and responsibility) to vote. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Please do your part. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Gift ideas coming up

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Listen up, good people of the northern Indianapolis suburbs: I. Am. About. To be. Famous! I am officially announcing my brand new book (published by Current Publishing and Dog Ear Publishing, $14.95) titled, of course, “Peace Out!” Love me? Buy my book and relive, or read for the first time, hilarious, select columns from my early years. Hate me? Buy “Peace Out!” and have a good ol' fashion Nazi book burning party. I don’t really care, just buy my book! Look, I’m not at all shy about promoting myself. I really want some new leather boots and a trench coat, and those things just don’t show up at my door for free, unlike Current, which gives you weekly access to the life and times of moi and where you can also find my Web site to buy my book! Without the extra cash generated by my soon-to-be bestseller, “Peace Out!,” I’ll have to stick to the budget and only spend money on generic cereal, book rental fees, travel soccer dues, and pap smears. Not fun, my friends, so not fun. So do your part in helping me become more fashion savvy (and famous)! Buy my book! Better yet, buy a bunch of copies and send them to your friends. The holidays are just around the corner; why not give the gift of me? You’ll be a hero, they’ll be thrilled, and I’ll be rich. It’s a win-win-win when you buy, buy, BUY! In all seriousness, “Peace Out!” will appeal to anyone who has ever called him or herself a

spouse, parent, sibling, an adult child, a hemorrhoid sufferer, Unisom addict, plastic surgery recipient, hunting widow, homeowner, an aunt/ uncle, a Democrat, a mini-van owner or a Mommy-on-the-edge. I’ve selected my favorite rants from the last five years and organized them into ten delicious chapters for your reading pleasure. Keep it on your nightstand for a quick chuckle before bed or stash it in the loo for some entertaining potty humor. But wait! There’s more! I’ve also included a bonus section including the best hate mail you’ll ever read. Who knows? Your comments could be in it, though you may not recognize yourself because I’ve changed everyone’s names to protect your sorry, saggy be-hinds. The point is, I’m offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to board my spaceship to fame while it’s still here on Earth. Ten years from now, when I’m carousing with J.K. Rowling, Nora Roberts and Oprah (she spans all genres), you can say, “I remember when her first book came out! She signed it for me at [insert local coffee shop/bookstore/library/gas station]!” “Peace Out!” (Now available online at www.danielle-wilson.com, Amazon and Barnes & Noble).

Arthur Kipps (Daniel Scharbrough) and The Actor (John Michael Goodson)

Spine-tingling chiller hits Civic’s stage Submitted photos

Commentary by Hope Baugh

If you enjoy ghost stories – not blood-and-gore slasher tales but creepy, elegant, unexplainable GHOST stories – you must see the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s production of “The Woman in Black.” I loved this show. I left the theatre thinking, Wow! Part of my “wow” was prompted by the actors. There are only three but they are excellent and they fill the theatre. Dan Scharbrough plays Arthur Kipps, a tormented solicitor who hires a professional actor, played by John Michael Goodson, to help him prepare to tell his story to his family so that he can get it out of his system and sleep without nightmares. “We’ll make a Barrymore of you yet,” says The Actor, but Mr. Kipps insists that acting is not his forte, that he only wants to improve his delivery enough to make his family understand what happened. As the two men develop Mr. Kipp’s manuscript into a theatre piece, each plays more than one character. They brilliantly tweak their British accents and their costumes (designed by Jean Engstrom) to fit. Sara Mark plays the silent title character. My shoulders hunched up in a shiver every time she appeared. My “wow” was also prompted by the design of the show. The first thing we hear is a child’s laughter. It is happy but also somehow haunting, perhaps because we can’t see much. The only light at first is the tiny kind they used to leave on in theatres so no one would trip in the dark. Ironically, such lights were called “ghost lights.” There are boxes and buckets, and larger things covered in drop cloths, some partially hidden behind curtains. Ryan Koharchik’s set and lighting design holds us in the shadows like a bully, teasing us with what it will or will not reveal, and Michael J. Lasely’s sound design heightens the suspense as well. This atmospheric piece will be most appreciated by teens and adults, rather than little kids. It was adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the novel by Susan Hill. It was directed for Civic by Robert J. Sorbera. It runs through Nov. 10 at the Tarkington Theatre in Carmel. www.currentinwestfield.com

◆ What: The Woman

in Black, adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the book by Susan Hill ◆ When: Now to Nov. 10 ◆ Where: Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre, 3 Center Green, Carmel ◆ Plot: Mrs. Drablow lived alone for more than 60 years in a gothic mansion on an island accessible only by a causeway at low tide. Something awful happened there and when Kipps arrives at the house himself, awful things start to happen, including an appearance of the Woman in Black. This thriller contains all the ingredients of a classic ghost story, complete with deserted mansion, haunted graveyards, and locals who don’t dare breathe a word of the horrors they have witnessed. ◆ Cost: $39 for adults, $13 for Student Scream seats (includes college students) ◆ Box Office: 843-3800

A game of one-upsmanship One-upmanship can be defined as the art or practice of successively outdoing a competitor. In our case the competition is not the opposing team, rather it’s the other tailgaters in our parking lot. Way back in 1992, I remember when a man attached a flag pole and flag to his minivan. His flag, sporting the team name and logo, waved in the fall breeze. The next game, another tailgater had a larger flag on a higher poll. Week after week the “war of the flags” rose to higher levels. Finally after all parties had taken things up to the highest level money could buy, one man arrived and dealt the coup de grâce. He brought an inflatable mini blimp, in team colors. He filled it with helium gas and let it rise to the sky, easily more than 100 feet. The blimp was tethered to his vehicle by a long rope and on the rope hung a huge team flag. The war of the flags was over! So much for one-upsmanship, right, or should I say “yeah right!” To try to make one’s tailgate set-up bigger and better is a natural male urge that must be allowed to run its course. Eventually, after accumulating tents, canopies, coolers, sound systems, themed vehicles, and bigger and better grills, each tailgater will start to realize that a tailgate party is a social event, not a competition. It’s a time to relax. Don’t get me wrong, it’s

still fun to watch rookie tailgaters compete with one another, but for now, when we speak of competition it’s about having better food. Here’s a great cold weather dish that will stand out as the best food in your parking lot. It’s called bœuf bourguignon, or Beef Burgundy.

Ingredients: 2 to 3 pounds good beef (like chuck steak) cubed, 1/4 cup canola oil, 10 or more small onions peeled, but whole, 1 teaspoon kosher salt,1 pound fresh mushrooms, 1 bottle burgundy wine Prepare: Trim all the fat from the beef and then stir fry it in a large stew pot. Remove these pieces of fat with a slotted spoon and then add the cubed meat and oil. Brown this mixture for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the salt and onions and then cover the mixture with the wine and simmer 30 minutes. Clean the mushrooms with a brush and then slice them into thin profile slices. Add these mushrooms to the mixture and then cover with the remainder of the wine. Simmer 30 minutes longer and then take one piece of beef and taste it. If it’s tender and full of that rich wine taste, it’s done. If not tender then cook it longer. Joe Drozda is an author about sports and food.

New approach to hip replacement surgery Commentary by John Hur, MD Recently I began using a new method to perform hip replacement surgery, known as the Direct Anterior Approach. This new approach allows me to reach the hip joint from the front of the hip as opposed to the lateral (side) or the posterior (back) approach. This way, the hip can be replaced without detachment of muscle from the pelvis or femur during surgery. The greatest benefit to this approach is that the most important muscles for hip function, the gluteal muscles that attach to the pelvis and femur, are left undisturbed and, therefore, do not require a healing process to recover from surgical trauma. This decreases the amount of pain a patient experiences and also reduces complications, such as problems with hip dislocation. With less pain and improved function, most patients are able to return to normal activities sooner, if not immediately. In comparison, conventional hip replacement surgery approaches require splitting and/ or detachment of muscles that control motion of the hip and help prevent dislocation. Trauma to these muscles causes pain and swelling that takes time to heal in order to recover function. Typically, this requires six to 10 weeks of rehabilitation and restrictions of not flexing the hip beyond 90 degrees, which affects basic activities like sitting, crossing the legs, putting on shoes and driving an automobile. It is also common

for patients who undergo conventional hip replacement surgery to experience dislocation of the hip due to the weakening of the muscles that are detached during surgery. The direct anterior approach to hip replacement has been around for some time. In fact, it was first performed in Europe in 1947. Since that time, the technique has been continually refined with advancing medical technology. The most significant advancement that was made was with the creation of a special, stateof-the-art surgical table that allows surgeons to perform the procedure with ease. Today, literally thousands of hip replacement patients have benefited from this minimally invasive approach in Europe and America. Unfortunately, not all patients are a candidate for this type of hip replacement surgery. It is particularly difficult to perform on patients that are overweight or who have distorted anatomy. Patients should ask their orthopedic surgeons if they are familiar with the direct anterior approach and if they are an ideal candidate for that type of hip replacement surgery. Only an orthopedic hip replacement specialist can make a proper assessment.

Insurance

Knowing the ins and outs of flood insurance Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Lindsey J. from Fishers: All the flooding and problems from the hurricane have got me thinking about a flood policy. We have a basement and have never had any problems in the ten years we’ve lived in the house. What do you think? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Issues: The first thing you need to know about flood insurance is what the policy covers. A flood insurance policy will protect your property from flooding accompanying hurricanes, heavy rains and melting snows. A standard homeowner’s policy specifically excludes coverage for all of these things. The other thing you need to know about flood insurance is what it doesn’t cover. Flood insurance doesn’t cover water that rises up through your plumbing. This type of loss is protected by using an endorsement to your homeowner’s policy called sewer & drain backup. A loss from sewer & drain backup can be just as damaging as a flood loss. Coverage Recommendations: Most of Hamilton County sits in a moderate-to-low risk area when it comes to flood risk (you can check your risk at www.floodsmart.gov) and qualifies for coverage at the preferred rate. This policy will protect your house and its contents starting as low as $129 per year. It takes 30 days after purchase for a flood policy to take effect, so don’t wait until

the water starts rising. Sewer & Drain backup coverage is a simple endorsement that you may already have included on your homeowner’s policy right now. Standard coverage usually starts with limits of $5,000. If you have a finished basement, $5,000 is probably not going to get you back to where you would like to be. We usually recommend upgrading that coverage to $10-25,000 to make sure you are adequately covered. Higher limits are definitely available. The cost of this endorsement varies by carrier, but is usually a very low percentage of the total cost of your policy. Claim Prevention: The most important thing to know is when to cut and run. Your family’s safety is much more important than a house or anything you have in it. The steps you can take to prevent flood claims are pretty easy and you’re probably already doing them. First make sure your sump pump is working and has an adequate battery-powered backup, in case it loses power. Next, make sure your gutters and downspouts are free and clear of debris and obstructions. Lastly, make sure your downspouts are getting water far enough away from the house that the water is not returning.

Smarter.

My opinion: $275,000

Springmill Meadows is a great family-friendly neighborhood in Westfield located between Springmill and Oakridge roads at 156th Street. The home is located on a large lot. This neighborhood is located close to great schools as well as nearby shopping Address: 133 E. Columbine Lane Year built: 1995 Style: Tradition American Room. Four bedrooms, 2.5 baths with mostly updated kitchen including granite, some appliances and hard-

wood kitchen floor, office on main level and finished basement. New mechanicals and paint. Strengths: Nice lot, finished basement. Good size deck off the rear of the home. Updated mechanicals and new windows. Brick front and cedar Negatives: The home needs some updates, often typical for a home of 17 years, specifically the basement. The appliances are not all updated. The price for the square footage is too high against its competition. Deborah Minth is the Westfield Branch Manager for Carpenter Realtors. She lives in the city and is an expert on Westfield homes.

Grammar Guy Capitalization in titles and degrees LIFESTYLE

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Incorrect, over-enthusiastic and, frankly, odd capitalization decisions are mistakes we see frequently in the editing world. I think most people remember the basic rules from English class: Do capitalize the first word of a sentence, proper nouns, the first word of a quotation, titles that precede a name, days of the week, etc. Don’t capitalize the seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter), compass directions unless referring to specific regions (For example, Alabama is in the South, but it is south of Indiana.), or general subjects in school (math, physical education, health). Of course, the beauty of our world is that there is so much more to write about beyond the basic rules. This is also the area where mistakes start to slip in. A big source of confusion for many people seems to come from titles and academic degrees. As I mentioned earlier, I believe most people are comfortable with what to do with a title that precedes a name: you capitalize it. For example, assuming you are reading this column on Tuesday and are 18 years old, hopefully you voted or will be voting for either President Barack Obama or Gov. Mitt Romney today (or, you know, Mickey Mouse if you’re a Disney anarchist). While the choice might be difficult for some, the rule isn’t. If a title comes before a name, capitalize it. What if the title is somewhere else, though,

or there is no name attached to it? What if, for example, your choices on the ballot were Barack Obama, president of the United States, and Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts? Since the titles follow the name, they are considered to be used as descriptors and thus no capitalization is needed. Similarly, were you to refer to the candidates as the president and the governor, you would not capitalize their titles. The exception, since there must be one, would be if you are addressing one or the other directly, in which case you would say Mr. President or Mr. Governor with a capital letter. College degrees follow very similar capitalization rules. If they precede a name – Bachelor of Arts Jordan Fischer, for example – they get to be capitalized. If they follow a name – Jordan Fischer, bachelor of arts – they don’t. As I’m typing this, I notice that Microsoft Word wants the latter degree capitalized as well. Just ignore that little green squiggly; we’re smarter than the computer on this one. As a final note, academic subjects in degrees follow the same rules as normal: Capitalize proper nouns like English and French. Don’t capitalize general courses like mathematics unless referring to a specific course: Algebra II, Modern Dance 101, etc. Jordan Fischer is an editor and investigative reporter for Current Publishing.

BEJEWLED Soon it will be winter coat season. Instead of shelling out money for a new coat, why not update the one you have? Try replacing the buttons on your coat from last season with rhinestone encrusted or tortoise shell buttons. This will help update your outerwear without breaking the bank. Maybe now you can afford those snakeskin stilettos you have been eyeing? STRESS LESS The holidays can bring on much unneeded stress as you fight the crowded stores and get stuck in rush hour traffic. Try these fixes to minimize the damage stress can do on your body. Take deep breaths. It may seem cliché, but at high stress moments, you may find yourself breathing faster, causing your heart to race as well. Slow down …and take a moment. Breathe in and out deeply several times and feel a calmness take over. Believe it or not, “retail therapy” (“shopping”) has also proven to reduce stress by giving your brain’s pleasure centers a rush of dopamine, according to a study done at Emory University. The less stressful way to enjoy a little retail therapy is to shop online, therefore avoiding the stress-inducing crowds.

SHOP NOW! Salon 01 gift cards make the perfect holiday gift! Save gas, and shop online! Or, shop Salon 01 in store for the latest clothing, accessories, hair and bath products, makeup, candles and…with a gift from us, you won’t disappoint! Stop in and we will help you find something unique. We look forward to making your holiday shopping experience enjoyable.

Enjoy a tension-reducing spa treatment. It also has been proven that taking time out from your normal routine and taking time to consciously relax can do wonders for stress reduction.

Vive creates project individuality

FALL GIVING

Commentary by Randy Sorrell Great vision coupled with forward design ideas can completely transform a home. And, that is what precisely happened in this nearly century old home nestled in the heart of Carmel. Ryan Coyle, landscape architect and proprietor of Vive Exterior Design, is completely responsible for this inspiring delight that is too comprehensive to manage in a single article. Expect another visit in spring 2013. Until then, lets enjoy how the entry to this ranch has been updated to something Ryan refers to as “modern / rustic,” which respects both the authenticity of the house and the neighborhood. The edgy, cedar entry pergola splashes galvanized steel as overhead members that echo the galvanized half round gutters and downspouts…a definite shout to a previous era when materials were real, and felt that way. COOL! The same architectural arbor element was repeated on the south side of the house and brilliantly flows as an extension of the primary entry arbor. NATURAL ROCKS Not content with a traditional sidewalk, oversized slabs of natural stone carry marveled visitors under the entry pergola and to the front porch. These 2’x3’ beauties are often locally sourced and installed on a bed of sand for proper drainage. The rich tones of chocolate, coffee and caramel are repeated in the several

tons of boulders responsible for grade transition and offer plenty of warm curb appeal and native planting opportunities. Knowing Vive is to realize that there is much more to the story and his families’ residence. I can’t wait to share that with you next spring. Meanwhile, if you discover yourself driving east on Smokey Row Road from Rangeline Road, at the crest of the hill and beyond the church, witness fresh evidence of what an exciting design / build / landscape vision can do.
