Linda Connors helps Home Instead Senior Care get a jump start on wrapping the gifts for seniors. (Submitted photo)
Yes, Grandpa, there is a Santa
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
With Halloween over, the Christmas season officially has begun. Soon, homes all around Hamilton County will be decorated and ready for the holiday. Home Instead Senior Care, older adults a non-medical home care company that provides companionship, transportation, and more to local elderly seniors, also is preparing for the Christmas season. One of its charities, Be a Santa to a Senior, a nonprofit that helps lonely seniors have a better Christmas, began Nov. 4. Christmas trees will be put up in local Walgreens stores with ornaments on them that bear a senior’s name, gender, and a few items wanted for Christmas. Others that want to help can do their shopping right in that Walgreens store. Gifts don’t have to be wrapped; they may be left under the Walgreen’s tree after purchase. “It’s a program that’s developed to help needy and lonely seniors in the community to make sure they get a Christmas gift,” HISC owner Chris Irons said. “It was just really started from seeing the need out
ON THE WEB
there in the community for seniors who won’t get any gifts.” HISC works with many nonprofit organizations as well as nursing homes. These organizations can inform HISC on which seniors may not have family members or visitors. Irons said there are lots of Christmas charities for unfortunate children, and often times people don’t think about the elderly. “It’s very moving to see the seniors see the gifts, because they’re not expecting anything at all like that,” he said. “Just to see the senior’s expression and see that they’re very grateful for anything at all is pretty neat. It’s a great way to give back to the seniors in the community when they get forgotten around the holiday.” Through Be a Santa to a Senior, Hamilton and Boone counties have collected more than 5,000 gifts. Walgreen’s Christmas trees will be up until Dec. 16. At that time they will be taken down and all the gifts sent to HISC to be wrapped and delivered. For more information, contact Irons at chris. irons@homeinstead.com or visit www.beasantatoasenior.com.
DVD review Rebooting a superhero franchise is a trickier business than it sounds. Hollywood attempted to bring back Superman a few years ago, and the results were just OK. Now they’ve tried again, and the results are similarly so-so. Read more at currentnightandday.com.
International Lineman’s Rodeo – Westfield’s Chris Wilson was among 60 Duke Energy technicians who recently competed in the International Lineman’s Rodeo at the National Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs, Kan.

The public seemingly skips Thanksgiving as the holiday focus shifts from Halloween to Christmas. What gets you into the festive holiday spirit like music?

The Commute
Now open – The new southbound ramp between Greyhound Pass and 146th Street opened to traffic last week. Motorists can now access all southbound ramps on the west side of U.S. 31 connecting 151st Street, Greyhound Pass and 146th Street with the New U.S. 31. The northbound ramps are expected to open in late November. U.S. 31 – Crews began restricting traffic on northbound U.S. 31 between 169th street and Ind. 32 on Nov. 3. Nighttime (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.) lane restrictions will continue in this area through mid-November. Also along U.S. 31, INDOT crews have intermittent lane restrictions on northbound U.S. 31 between 191st and 203rd streets during daytime hours. The restrictions began Nov. 7 and are expected to last for approximately one week. Smokey Row Road – On Nov. 4, crews began to restrict lanes during daytime hours on Smokey
Row Road east of Pro Med Drive to continue utility relocation. While restrictions are in place, flaggers will direct traffic. These restrictions are expected to be complete by early December. Spring Mill Road – Beginning next week, crews plan to restrict southbound Spring Mill Road near 111th Street during daytime hours to remove trees for utility relocation. While restrictions are in place, a flagger will direct traffic. These restrictions are expected to continue for approximately one week. I-69 Exit 205 – Ind. 37 south of 126th Street opened to two lanes on Nov. 1 and permanent pavement markings were painted Nov. 2 and 3 on I-69 at the Exit 205 interchange. Some various restrictions can be expected near the interchange in the upcoming weeks as crews complete final items on the contract. A separate project is currently building additional lanes between 116th Street and I-465.

Local students perform in Italy news@currentinwestfield.com Sarah Bromberek and Thomas Day of Westfield and Jason Lafever of Noblesville are among the members of the Saint Joconcert seph’s College Concert Choir and Chamber Singers that are traveling to Italy this month for a series of concerts and religious services at ancient sites rich in history and tradition. The highlight of the trip will be the closing weekend celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Cappella Giulia at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. The Cappella Giulia is one of the Basilica’s two chapel choirs. As part of its anniversary, notable choirs from around the world were invited to sing, either in concert or Mass, at the Basilica. Aside from St. Peter’s Basilica, the group will sing at masses at major venues in Florence, Siena, Rome and Pompeii. St. Peter’s Basilica, the
largest Christian church in the world, seems to be generating the most excitement among the group. “Being able to sing sacred choral music in the actual churches it was written for – not just as a concert, but often within the Mass – provides a connection between faith and intelligence that is the hallmark of learning at SJC,” SJC Director of Choirs Kelly Ford stated. “Students come back from international trips with a greater sense of global awareness, and Rome is a perfect blend of history, art, architecture, music, food, language and culture that changes students forever. Finding your place in the world is an important part of the core curriculum at SJC, and what better way to do that than through a trip like this?” To keep people updated on their performances and travels, several members of the tour will share their experiences and photos through Facebook (facebook.com/Saint-JosephsCollege) and Twitter (@SJC_Pumas).

The Humane Society for Hamilton County will be hosting its eighth annual Tinsel & Tails Holiday Petacular from 6 to Philanthropy 10 p.m. Nov. 21 at Ritz Charles in Carmel. Tinsel & Tails is the Humane Society’s largest fundraiser each year. The sell-out event highlights the most touching adoption stories and unforgettable animal survivor tales of the year. Tinsel & Tails is open to the public. It includes a reception with hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and dinner followed by a heartwarming presentation. Following the presentation, guests are invited to meet the cats and dogs who were featured. The funds raised by Tinsel & Tails will help cover the cost of the thousands of abandoned, unwanted, injured and sick animals that come to the Humane Society every year. Funds raised will specifically help pay for life-saving medications, vaccines and surgeries as well as basic sheltering expenses like food and litter. “Our need has never been greater,” HSHC Executive Director Rebecca Stevens stated. “The economy is still taking its toll on the family pet as the number of surrendered animals continues to rise. Sadly, many of those displaced are senior pets who often need medical care and quickly succumb to illness in a shelter environment. The funds raised at events like Tinsel & Tails are

The organization, which does not euthanize adoptable or treatable animals, receives 29 percent of its funding from Hamilton County’s municipalities. The remainder of its annual operating budget comes from individual donations, fundraising events, adoption/service fees, corporate sponsorship and grants. Tinsel & Tails tickets are available for $90 per person, $350 for a half-table seating four, or $700 for a table of eight.

Westfield team earn fourth place at national firefighter challenge
Jeremy Devitt • Age: 25 • Years as firefighter: 2 • Personal best time: 1:55
By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A group of Westfield firefighters credit hard work for the smiles on their faces and the pride in their hearts. cover story Kyle Ericksen, Jeremy Devitt, Justin Anderson, Matt Hansen and Trevor Hash took their winning streak to the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge U.S. Nationals Oct. 10 through 12 in Montgomery, Ala., where they placed fourth overall. “It’s a good feeling. We work with a lot of Type A personalities and didn’t expect a lot of kudos. A lot of people I didn’t know cared told us we made Westfield proud,” Hansen said, adding the team qualified for the world competition in Las Vegas two weeks after nationals but decided to pass because of financial reasons. In addition to the team accolades, Hansen earned a membership in the Lions Den with a top 10 individual course time at Nationals. One minute 38 seconds also was Hansen’s personal best time. “It’s an elite club that everyone shoots to get in,” Anderson said. “It pushes me because I’m right behind him.”
The start
This is the third year Westfield has had a team participate in the global competition. Hansen, the team captain, said he, Anderson and Ericksen saw the event televised on ESPN and “wanted to try and do it.” The firemen began working out in their firefighter gear and trained for months before entering their first competition in Evansville. “It was awesome. I fell in love with the camaraderie,” Hansen said, adding the group quickly learned it was training incorrectly. “We were focused more on short bursts and not aerobics.” In 2011, they qualified for the world championships, but opted to wait until 2012 to compete. To keep the momentum going, the team added Zach Moore, a professional trainer, in 2012. “That’s what took off the most time,” Hansen said. The group moved into the 2012 season with a renewed vigor, placing in the top three in the majority of its races and competing at the world championship with a time of 5 minutes and 51 seconds. Since the group began competing at the national level, Hansen said the team times have improved from 6 minutes 29 seconds in 2011 to 5 minutes 16 seconds at nationals this year. “Each year this team has made big gains,” he

said. The team’s discipline is commendable. It trains two to three hours per day for five or six days every week, sometimes hitting the pavement three times per day. “I plan my off days around my workout,” Devitt said. “When I was hired my recruit class went through the course and I loved it. I’m in better shape for the job.”
Working hard
While the competitive season is over, the team continues to constantly train. Hansen said the off-season is used to work on strength and cardio training. “It is my hobby. It’s hard because I have two kids but I have to find time to do it,” Hansen said. “We all come from a sports background, and I miss competing.” The challenge seeks to encourage firefighter fitness and demonstrate the profession’s rigors to the public. Wearing “full bunker gear” and breathing apparatus, pairs of competitors race head to head as they simulate the physical demands of real-life firefighting by performing a linked series of five tasks including climbing

whole race,” Hansen said, adding the top three times compile the total team time. “It’s an obstacle course with all fire-related skills.” Hansen said training has made the group better at their jobs. “There is not a single job on the fire ground we can’t do,” Hansen said. “We’re used to having extra weight and our bodies being in high intensity for up to five minutes.” The team said the course challenges them physically and mentally. “It’s humbling for sure,” Anderson said. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s a lot more mental than people give it credit for.” The Westfield team is different than many other teams as the group is close friends and works the same shift at Station No. 81, with the exception of Hash. He is a Noblesville firefighter. “We definitely feed off each other. We support each other,” Hansen said. The team is sponsored by St.Vincent Hospital, IMMI, the City of Westfield and Church Brothers and is looking for more sponsors for the 2014 season. To sponsor, call 804-3300. “Our goal is to win it all. I think we can,” Anderson said.

Fair dealing Commentary by Terry Anker LAX shooter Paul Ciancia, a 23-year-old Catholic school graduate and son of a well-regarded public safety official, believed that the Transportation Security Agency had abused its authority over the American public. Whether revolutionary or anti-social zealot, this young man is emblematic of a growing mood among many who realize the promise of opportunity in America is not guaranteed. Confidence in our leaders is at all-time low and the airwaves are filled with examples of abundant equivocation on the part of those in whom we have invested our trust. I have never been much of a revolutionary myself – when in college in student leadership we were much more likely to work with the administrators than to chain ourselves to the president’s office. And the question remains, can one ever justify terror whether a radical or not? But we always believed that those in power included the dissent in their consideration. It did not seem that their power was used to suppress our point of view.
Government is a good thing, creating the framework that enables civil society to operate. But those governed have to believe that this investiture of power is just. The accusation of illegal eavesdropping in the private sector has led to the immediate firing of the low-level staff involved, to extensive criminal investigations, to the closing of the 168-year-old newspaper where they worked, and to the public interrogation of the 80-year-old owner who ultimately managed the staff along with tens of thousands of other employees. Meanwhile, a federal agency (NSA) spied on millions of Americans, foreign leaders and, according to recent report, the ex-wives and in-laws of interested government employees, yet no one is being asked to account. Their boss, President Obama, has not been called to testify. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

Have you heard about the Humane Society for Hamilton County’s Survivor Program? If you haven’t, you should know it’s grossly underfunded. You should also know you can make a difference. Current, Kingston’s Music Showcase and 3Ds Pub & Café are teaming to benefit the Survivor Program with an evening of dining, dancing and donating. It all unfolds at 6 p.m. Nov. 27 at 3Ds, 13644 N. Meridian St., Carmel. Yes, it’s a chance to pay forward the night before Thanksgiving. Please consider joining the crowd as we all try to make a difference for the canines and felines that are very much in need. If you’re not headed out of town, we’d love to have you join us. If you have family or friends coming into town for the holiday weekend, please consider bringing them. Barometer Soup is donating the performance, and here’s why: Some of the animals arriving at the society are in need of immediate, emergency medical care, some of it lifesaving. It boils down to a second chance for the patients. There simply is not enough money to help every injured or sickly animal. If a dog is hit by a car, in order to save the pooch’s life it will take every bit of $2,500 or more, and so every dime raised at this event will go toward providing the medical care needed. While there is no cover charge for this fundraiser, donations gladly will be accepted at the door. Please help us help the Humane Society beef up the Survivor Program. By the way, we’re told some furry “celebrities” may make an appearance. If you need additional incentive, your donations are, indeed, tax-deductible. We’re strongly with the Humane Society on this: We believe the world is a much better place with these pets in it. For more information, please call the society at 773-4974.

Grounding is good
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Last week you may recall reading about my younger son assaulting his brother half way between Louisville and Indianapolis humor and the subsequent improvement in their relationship. What I didn’t mention was another unforeseen positive consequence of what is now known as the “Fight of 2013.” After Andrew punched his teasing sibling in the temple, my husband and I grounded him for one week. No friends to play with, no leaving the house other than for school or practices, and most significantly, at least in his 12-year-old eyes, no electronics of any kind. We are cruel parents, indeed. Not surprisingly, this last bit of torture took its toll. Andrew complained, moped, nagged and proclaimed his innocence in a desperate attempt for amnesty and a rescinding of the Xbox ban. “You’re the one who’s always telling me to fight back, and now you’re punishing me for it? It’s not fair!”; “He’s always hitting me and you never do anything to him! It’s not fair!”; “Argh! I’m so booo-rrred! It’s not fair!” Tough cookies, Andrew. Life isn’t fair, get used to it. And guess what? He did. He broke out some clay and began creating amazing aliens and other creatures. He rode his bike and walked the dog. He, gulp, read a book. He even enlisted his twin sister and former-nemesis teenage brother to create a pillow-avalanche scenario in the
basement where they taught our Labrador to perform search and rescue missions. I know! What’s more, the rest of the kids followed suit. Whether in solidarity for their imprisoned comrade or simply because his activities looked like more fun, they too spent a lot less time engrossed in their computers, Kindles, and i-paraphernalia. It’s like they suddenly remembered they had imaginations and how to use them! Coincidentally, my brother-in-law informed me at taekwondo that he was experiencing a similar phenomenon at his house. They, too, had instituted “Amish Week” as a punishment for their 8-yearold, and were amazed to see him returning to “the good ol’ days” prior to mass electronics. So what did I learn as a parent through all of this? For starters, my children are addicts. Secondly, as adults, Doo and I can break the cycle if we choose. Well, little Wilsons, we choose. Yes, Andrew had to hit rock bottom for us to realize there was a major problem, but now the jig is up. I am pleased to report that we have already implemented steps (12 actually) to ensure all of our kids are on the road to video-game recovery. Don’t know how long it will last, but it’s a start. Peace out.

The big story this past month is not that one of our big stars (Miley Cyrus) is twerking, but that one of our medium-sized stars may humor someday stop working. I am talking about our sun, but Miley’s prospects for future employment might also be dimming. This end-of-the-world prediction comes courtesy of astro-biologist Andrew Rushby, a PhD candidate at the University of East Anglia in Great Britain, where life already ended unofficially for fellow students three weeks ago when the administration began prohibiting drinking Guinness in the college dorms. Rushby used what he calls “classic models” to help make his futuristic predictions. Here are a few examples of what those models suggested about the timing of the demise of the sun: • Kathy Ireland: 1.5 billion years • Claudia Schiffer: 2.3 billion years • Tyra Banks: 3.5 billion years Averaging it all, Rushby’s final conclusion is that earth will be uninhabitable somewhere between 1.75 billion years and 3.25 billion from now. At first, this prediction really scared me because I thought it said a million years. Whew! Rushby, who first trained as a meteorologist, is also saying that the final day the earth exists, whenever it is, will be cloudy with scattered showers and a really good chance of record heat. There is some good news. Rushby says that if we are good stewards of the earth we could
squeeze out an extra weekend or two, which may not seem like much, but for those on spring break that year, that’s really a huge difference. Assuming we have at least a couple hundred thousand years’ notice, Rushby has a few ideas “where earthlings might want to move.” Mars will probably be habitable longer than Earth, so before this world ends, we will have plenty of time to move to Mars. Then in a truly optimistic note he claims that the Red Planet would be a great place to watch the sun go through its final self-destruction. Remember, it’s never too soon to get tickets for these kinds of events. Rushby is also a big admirer of the exoplanet Gliese 581d as an alternative to Earth, and really, can you blame him? This life-sustaining globe is only 20 light years away (about 120 trillion miles), which, like the college you attended, is close enough to home in an emergency but far enough way to prevent your parents from bugging you. Rushby will officially get his doctorate in June 2014 and his professors say he is a brilliant student with a great future. Asked by some local journalists what his plans are after graduating, he admitted that he just isn’t sure. “It’s difficult,” he said, “to think that far ahead.”

French revolution comes to Beef & Boards’ stage
By Patricia Rettig • news@currentinwestfield.com It’s a particularly busy school year for two talented young performers from Carmel who are currently on stage in Beef theatre & Boards Dinner Theatre’s premiere production of Les Misérables. Beef & Boards. As young Cosette, Anja Reese portrays the girl who has become the iconic image of Les Misérables – orphaned, poor and pale. But this Clay Middle School eighth-grader is feeling better than ever after being able to return to performing. “Last year I had nodules on my vocal chords,” Anja, 13, said. “I had to rest my voice and I wasn’t able to participate in musical theatre for a while, which wasn’t easy.” With the help of a vocal therapist, Anja is able to sing without the nodules, allowing her to make her debut at Beef & Boards in one of her favorite musicals. “From a very young age, I have always loved performing,” she said. “I also enjoyed seeing Broadway shows and listening to their soundtracks. It was truly magical to me.” Although this is her first show at Beef & Boards, Anja has been seen in several regional productions, and says it is a dream of hers to perform on Broadway. Returning to the Beef & Boards stage is Kendall Greene, 11, who was a munchkin in last season’s production of The Wizard of Oz. “I love to entertain,” the Creekside Middle School student said. “I love to dance,” she added, noting she’s particularly proud of earning first place at two different dance competitions. Kendall is a member of the Edge Force Competition Team at Performer’s Edge Studio. It was her love of dance, in fact, that brought her to Beef & Boards. “My dance teacher suggested (I) audition,” Kendall said. In addition to Anja and Kendall, the epic
Madame Thénardier (Annie Edgerton), right, fusses over her spoiled daughter, Eponine (Kendall Green of Carmel) in Les Misérables.
Cosette (Anja Reese of Carmel) sings “Castle on a Cloud” in Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s production of Les Misérables.
production features four Broadway performers in the cast, is now on stage at Beef & Boards through Nov. 24. Set in France and based on the novel by Victor Hugo, the compelling story centers on Jean Valjean, who is released from the harsh 19-year prison sentence he received for stealing a loaf of bread. Although freed, he remains an outcast until he breaks his parole and assumes a different identity. Embarking on a new life, Valjean becomes a respectable citizen and is even elected mayor before he agrees to raise the child of a dying woman who had worked in his factory. Javert, an officer obsessed with justice who has pursued Valjean since he broke parole, discovers the truth about his changed identity and attempts to capture the former convict. Valjean flees with young Cosette and becomes a father to her, but even he can’t protect her heart from being stolen by a young and passionate revolutionary as the French civil unrest builds. Making his Beef & Boards debut in the iconic role of Jean Valjean is Gregg Goodbrod, a member of the original Broadway cast of “Thoroughly
Modern Millie.” Also making their Beef & Boards debuts are Joe Tokarz in the role of the relentless Inspector Javert, Whitney Meyer as Cosette and Stephanie Torns, who played Elphaba in “Wicked” on Broadway, as Eponine. Returning to the Beef & Boards stage are Sarah Hund as Fantine, Dominic Sheahan-Stahl as Marius Pontmercy, Annie Edgerton (who performs the role of Rosie in “Mama Mia” on Broadway) as Madame Thénardier and Douglas E. Stark as Monsieur Thénardier. Scott Beck of Lafayette, Ind., who was in the Broadway companies of “Grease,” “Smokey Joe’s Café,” and “Saturday Night Fever,” plays the role of the factory foreman. Tickets range from $37.50 to $62.50 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet, a fruit and salad bar and a drink. Discounts are available for children and groups of 20 or more. Parking is free.

A different kind of bar Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley The American tailgater’s favorite and most practical dessert is the bar cookie. Unless you are from the Scandinavian upper Midwest, then it’s just called a bar. Bars have evolved from most any pie or candy imaginable and have been a regular part of our diet from childhood. So why use bars as a tailgate treat? Bars are great for tailgating because they are easy to make, easy to preserve, easy to transport and best of all – easy to eat. You generally don’t need a fork or even a plate to eat bars – just use your hands. When the first edition of The Tailgater’s Handbook was written, a friend of ours named Marie Simmons offered us her collection of delicious bar recipes from her book “Bar Cookies A to Z.” Simmons was food editor for “Cuisine” magazine at the time and has also been a columnist for “Bon Appetit” magazine and the Los Angeles Times. Here is an adaptation of one of Marie’s bar recipes - great for tailgating or the upcoming holiday season. Sticky Pecan Bars
purpose flour, 1/3 cup sugar, pinch of salt, 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter (cut into pieces), 1 large egg yolk Filling Ingredients: 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup dark corn syrup, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups large pecan halves Crust Preparation: Combine flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. With motor running, gradually add butter through the feed tube and process until blended. Add egg yolk and continue until fully mixed; set aside. Turn mixture out into lightly buttered 9-inch square pan and press dough into the pan evenly with 1/4 inch up the sides. Refrigerate until ready to bake. Filling Preparation: In medium-sized bowl stir flour and brown sugar together. Add corn syrup, eggs and vanilla; whisk until blended. Spread pecans over crust in an even layer and pour the filling over everything. Baking: Oven should be preheated to 400 degrees. Bake 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 25 more minutes, or until the filling is firm. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

homey, including hotel rooms, but nothing can compare to the safety and comfort of your childhood home and being able to spend quality time with friends and family.” The Silver Lake, Ind., native said her parents, in-laws and best friend still live in northern Indiana. Her sister and extended family live in the Indianapolis area. “I have many friends still there, so this truly will be a homecoming,” she said. “I have professors and friends from both my college, Ball State University, and high school, Warsaw High School, coming to support ‘Wicked.’ In fact, at one matinee alone, 17 family members and 30 high school theatre students will be in the audience.” One of her favorite things about Indiana is the pace of life. “As much as I enjoy the hustle and bustle of (New York City) and the transient life of an actor, I miss being rooted in a community that takes their time,” she said. “I also miss the warm smiles and hellos from perfect strangers on the street.” “The best part of my job is traveling the country and getting paid to do what I love. I love traveling and learning about culture in other cities, and I Iove that my job brings me close to home,” she said. “I also love interacting with the fans of ‘Wicked,’ doing Q & As and workshops that further impact people for the better.” For more information, visit www.ticketmaster. com/wicked or call (800) 982-2787.

Obamacare: an insurance viewpoint Commentary by Karl Ahlrichs Let’s agree that insurance is tough to understand. Start with the fact that people in general don’t like the subject, and Insurance when we add politics to the mix we have a perfect storm. Much of recent news coverage of Obamacare has been focused on election-year presidential promises that claimed everyone could keep their existing health insurance policy if they liked it. Clearly, that wasn’t 100 percent correct. President Barack Obama should have said “most” instead of “all.” But he didn’t. For a moment, please step outside the political echo chamber and into the health insurance strategy meetings that I am a part of. Let me share some of the larger picture that is guiding insurance policy. First, let’s look at the size of the problem. The particular issue of policy cancellation affects less than 4 percent of Americans - those who buy individual health insurance directly, rather than the 80 percent who get it from their jobs or government programs, or the 15 percent who have no health insurance at all. As an insurance professional, I know that some plans have always been risks – they’re cheap, but they offer poor coverage. People with this minimal insurance often think they are covered, then they go bankrupt when their medical bills start piling up. But not all the insurance plans being canceled are these minimal coverage plans. Some people really do like their plans, and they’re losing them because of new Obamacare rules. Why? The law standardizes health plans by mandating a basic set of minimum essential benefits
that some of today’s insurance products don’t cover. It also limits annual out-of-pocket expenses to $6,350 for a single person. Plans that do not reflect these changes are not allowed. What if you get dropped? Shop around. You may be able to get help paying for your insurance through Obamacare subsidies, which are available on a sliding scale through the federal marketplace to anyone who earns up to four times the federal poverty level or about $46,000 for a single person this year. Insurance companies have always been quick to discontinue unprofitable plans, cancel coverage for insureds with excessive claims, change benefits or raise prices. This is not very different. This disruption is happening despite Obama saying, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” We insurance advisors always knew that this promise could never be kept. We knew that with the law getting rid of insurance with lesser benefits and weaker financial protections, that there would be some disappointed consumers. While you may or may not agree with the changes, at their core the new rules follow basically sound risk management principles. Short term, it is uncomfortable for those who can’t get what they have always had. Long term, it may help. There is a storm blowing through our world of health insurance, and some people will pay more and some will pay less. We will all be sharing the risk, and in the world of risk management, less is more.

Keep your resolutions going Commentary by April Conard
The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it comes the baking, the family feasts and the parties. Of course, that will fitness include New Years Eve. What is the first thing you think about when you think New Year … maybe resolutions? Most of us will make some kind of healthbased New Year’s resolution. It might be to give up a forbidden food, utilize that gym membership, or even join one. With these resolutions in the back of our minds, it makes it much easier to devour every holiday treat and skip your workout. You can do this with little or no guilt because in the New Year, you will get those eating habits in check. You will do cardio and strength training 5 days a week to make up for lost time. You can start over in the New Year, so why not let it all go for awhile, it’s the holidays! Call me crazy but here is a thought, how about making your new year’s resolution to continue your healthy lifestyle, not start it. To increase the cardio workouts you are already doing, to add more vegetables to your already good eating habits. Hear me out before you

start justifying your poor choice of food and your lack of time spent exercising. I don’t want you to rob yourself of this special time and that includes some yummy treats. It also includes more time with family and friends, which means a little less time at the gym. Your plan of action is moderation. Make choices; eat sensibly all day when your plans include a party. You may need to skip the gym to spend time with family but instead of sitting around eating leftovers, organize a football game. If you have to skip your aerobics class because your shopping list is long, park far from the mall entrance and return to your car after each purchase. Go into the holidays knowing you will not let your healthy habits fall by the wayside. Realize how much farther along you will be into your fitness journey without two months off. This might not be the time to shed the pounds but it doesn’t have to be the time to gain them.

Free lung scans offered to military vets news@currentinwestfield.com In honor of American veterans and in observance of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Franciscan St. Francis Health is prevention offering free lung scans to at-risk veterans during the month of November. Veterans have a 25 to 50 percent higher risk of lung cancer than civilian populations due to higher smoking rates and exposure to known carcinogens during active duty, such as Agent Orange, asbestos and battlefield combustibles. According to the Lung Cancer Alliance, currently 32.2 percent of active duty military personnel smoke versus 19.8 percent of adults in the civilian population and 22 percent of veterans. “As a lung cancer screening center, we believe it’s important that we provide safe screenings to at-risk populations,” said Nadeem Ikhlaque, M.D., lung cancer program medical director at Franciscan St. Francis Cancer Center. “Risk assessment and early detection of lung cancer are especially crucial for veterans as they have a significant higher risk of the disease than the civilian population.” Screening those at high risk with low-dose CT scans can identify lung cancer at an early and most curable stage even before symptoms occur. Franciscan St. Francis Health is among 14 medical centers nationally – and the only hospital in Indiana – to participate in the free screenings initiative, which is spearheaded by LCA and the Vietnam Veterans of America. To qualify for the free screening, veterans must be between the ages of 55 and 75 and a long-time smoker. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 1-877-888-1777. “Screening for lung cancer using low-dose radiation CT scans has the potential to save thousands of lives,” said Ikhlaque. “We encourage all veterans to learn more about their risk and to consider a lung screening.”
dispatches Preventing sickness requires more than popping vitamins – Most people understand that a good night’s rest can help prevent illness. There are additional reasons you may be getting sick – Not eating breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast improves the digestive tract. Overreacting causes a cortisol spike that increases blood sugar and decreases the fighting power of the immune system. Other reasons that interfere with wellness include not hitting the gym, forgetting to clean surfaces such as your phone or TV remote, and neglecting to wash snacks. www.webmd.com Cold weather allergies – The change of season increases your chance of developing additional allergies. The most common in winter include coldinduced hives, food allergies around the holidays, wearing wool clothing that provokes skin itching, cold-induced asthma, exposure of hands and feet to cold which may lead to a constriction of blood vessels, a runny nose and evergreen trees. - www. healthyliving.msn.com

Is ‘these ones’ OK?
Commentary by Jordan Fischer
Question: “I ran across an article that you had written in The Southside Times about grammar. Grammar was not grammar guy (and still is not) one of my strong points, but in today’s world I constantly hear people using the term ‘these ones’ instead of just ‘these.’ Is there any way this is correct grammar? It’s not really a major concern in the whole scheme of things, but it just rubs me the wrong way.” (Ed) Answer: Consider, if you will, a bakery counter full of donuts. The counter has four types of donuts – chocolate, glazed, raspberry and cream cheese – arranged in groups from left to right. The clerk behind the counter is ready to sell you as many donuts as you would like, and, being a good and decent person, you’re ready to oblige her. Let’s look at the ways this transaction could occur: • “I want one.” You haven’t provided the clerk with much information. You’re still getting a donut, but it could be any of the four types. • “I want this one.” Now, the clerk knows exactly which type of donut you would like and, in fact, exactly which donut out of that group you would like. “This” acts as a
determiner to the pronoun, “one,” signifying an individual item within a group. When a pronoun like “one” is paired with a determiner, it forms a pronominal – or a pronoun phrase, more or less. • “I want five of these ones.” Here, we still have a pronominal. But is it necessary? Does it function any better than “these” – acting as a pronoun – would alone? If we were to say, “I want five of these,” the clerk would have just as much information as the previous phrase. “These” and “these ones” both serve to indicate a subset of a group of donuts. And while “one” in the pronominal “this one” does double duty by indicating the quantity of donuts desired, it does not in “these ones,” instead acting as an indefinite pronoun. I was unable to find a hard-and-fast rule prohibiting the use of “these ones.” However, it seems to me a redundant and inelegant-sounding phrase, and that alone should be cause to avoid it. If you do come across a rule about this phrase in your travels, I’d love to read it, though. As for me … I’m suddenly craving donuts.

Before heading south to Jerusalem for the last time, Jesus led his little band of Jewish followers about 25 miles north of their base travel around the Sea of Galilee to the region of Caesarea Philippi, a thoroughly Roman city at the foot of Mount Hermon. As recorded in Greek in the Gospel of Matthew, while there Jesus said: “And I tell you that you are Peter (Petros) and on this rock (petra) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” For hundreds of years, theologians who have never seen where this claim was made have debated its theological meaning. A visit to Caesarea Philippi suggests that Jesus’ words were much more literal than many people recognize. Caesarea Philippi was near an important pagan temple first established by the Greeks, who had built the city and called it “Paneas” in honor of their god, Pan. The temple, important to both Greeks and Romans, surrounded a large opening in a natural rock wall more than 500 feet long and 100 feet high. The Greeks and Romans believed that this opening led directly to the damp and shadowy home of the dead that the Greeks
called Hades. To appease the potentially angry gods who lived in these nether regions, worshippers made sacrifices before idols residing in niches carved into the rock face near the literal “gates of Hades.” Standing in front on the enormous rock wall near Caesarea Philippi, there is no mystery about either the rock or the gates of Hades that Jesus spoke about. The rock was the home of the pagan gods residing in the niches and the gates of Hades was the entrance to the dreaded realm of the dead. Within 30 years of Jesus’ bold claim in front of this rock, churches had been established in his name throughout the lands of the gods of the Roman Empire. One of keys to this rapid growth of Christianity was its promise to overcome the dreary pagan view of an afterlife in Hades. Jesus’ famous statement at Caesarea Philippi seems to have been more prophetic than theological. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

What are your beliefs?
Commentary by Kristen Boice
What drives your self-worth? What are the types of messages you tell yourself? Do you tell yourself things like, “You are fat, look self at you! You are stupid. What is wrong with you? You are not good enough. You have no friends. No one is going to like me when they find out who I really am. I am so ugly. I am a loser.” These are just a snapshot of some of the things we tell ourselves. We wouldn’t talk to our friends the way we talk to ourselves. It is important to explore when and where these messages come from. Chances are they started when you were young. We start off as pure souls and then begin to layer ourselves with messages we receive from our families, society and other important people in our lives. We don’t want to blame others for our feelings or beliefs because we are ultimately responsible for them. We want to unpack them in order to grow. We have the opportunity to change these beliefs. It begins with a desire and willingness to work on self-acceptance. We start by building awareness, reflecting and exploring. I highly recommend getting a notebook or journal. 1. Write down the beliefs you have about yourself. What are the statements you tell yourself when you look in the mirror or when you are feeling anxious or afraid?
2. Explore where these beliefs started. Can you picture someone telling you this negative statement? Did your parents feel this way about themselves and pass it on to you? Did you pick it up from societal messages? Write out your answers. 3. Ask yourself, “How is this belief serving me?” Chances are this isn’t serving you at all. It is keeping you stuck and stealing your joy. 4. Write yourself a letter. This may sound silly but it works if you are willing to trust the process. Write yourself a loving, compassionate note filled with grace (as if you were writing it to a friend) about everything you love about you. Look for the good. Use this letter whenever the negative self-talk starts coming up. 5. Give yourself permission to not be perfect. We learn from our mistakes and imperfections. What would we learn and how much would we grow if we were all perfect? Not much. Give yourself grace when you “mess up.” It’s okay. Learn from it and let it go.

Enlarged shower and closet highlight new master bath
Commentary by Larry Greene
EXISTING BATHROOM: This home is located in the Reserve at blueprint for Geist improvement subdivision in Fishers. The homeowners purchased their home 7 years ago and did not like the master bathroom. “The shower was too small, and the master closet was also too small for two to share.” ADDING SPACE: “At first the main focus was on the master bathroom and rearranging the master closet,” stated the owner. “Then our designer suggested we utilize the large bonus room off the master bedroom as a second master closet. We were using it as an office, but there was plenty of room to add the closet.” RECONFIGURING FLOORPLAN: Reconfiguring the footprint of the master bath created the functionality they were seeking. The former tub area became the space for the enlarged shower, with glass blocks filling the window space to allow light in while preserving privacy. Double vanities flank each side of the shower, and the soaking tub was moved to the space behind the door. “The bathroom feels bigger now, even
though we have the same footprint,” stated the homeowner. BATH DETAILS: Finishes in the remodel were meant to reflect a “cosmopolitan Vegas” look. Maple cabinets in a Dolce finish were complimented by the Shitake granite and the Stark Tortora floor tile. The vanity backsplash was covered in Legno glass Stria tile, the same tile used as an accent in the tub and shower. The shower’s unique accent tile pattern is highlighted by the glass block windows and the 8 x 24-inch wall tile. The plumbing fixtures were chosen for their contemporary style. CLOSET DETAILS: A custom closet system was
added to the bonus room, along with a center island of drawers and built-in desk area. “The closet turned out to be my favorite part of the remodel,” said the homeowner. “I love the shoe rack and the island. And there is privacy for the office area because we added doors.”
