Homicide suspect arrested, charged

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Boone County Sheriff’s Office deputies earlier this month apprehended a suspect in a Marion County homicide and arson case. A local farmer, Mike Hysong, called the office, reporting a man trespassing in his woods near county roads 600 South and 650 West. The farmer told the dispatcher the man, Balagoon Sankofa (aka Harold Bishop, of Indianapolis), 47, Bishop had parked his car in his woods and was asking for a jump start. Deputies Jesse Boggs and Brad Dunn reported finding Sankofa standing in the middle of the road. While checking the national database, Boggs recognized Sankofa from a previous e-mail sent for an armed-and-dangerous suspect at large. The deputies immediately placed Sankofa under arrest. While talking with the deputies, Sankofa, according to the department, said he “… had warrants out of Indy, for shootings” and “go ahead and handcuff me, you got me.” The deputies found a rifle, ammunition, a machete, clothes and water inside the vehicle. When asked what he was doing in the rural area, Sankofa said he was “looking for a place to hide out.” IMPD detectives took Sankofa back to Marion County. He is a suspect in a robbery, arson and two shootings in which one person died.

The United We Read program offered by the libraries of Zionsville, Lebanon and Thorntown has chosen “The Other Wes Moore” as its discussion book. Monday at 6:30 p.m., a discussion about the book will convene in the Lora Hussey Room of the Hussey-Mayfield Public Library. Librarians Ellen Leffler and Barbara Litkowski will lead the discussion. Registration is urged, and it may be done at www.zionsville.lib.in.us. “The Other Wes Moore” is the story of two kids with the same name, living in the same city. One grew up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison for felony murder. In 2000, The Baltimore Sun ran a small piece about Wes Moore, a local student who had received a Rhodes Scholarship. The paper also ran a series of articles about four young men who had allegedly killed a police officer in a botched armed robbery. The police were still hunting for two of the suspects, a pair of brothers, one named Wes Moore. Wes Moore read the articles and couldn’t shake the unsettling coincidence of sharing a name with the other Wes, now serving a life sentence without parole. He wrote a letter to the other Wes, and the letter led to a friendship and the discovery that they had led similar lives, with drastically different outcomes. The choices each had made during moments of hardship and decision affected their destinies. “The Other Wes Moore” explores opportunity, fate and the choices we make as individuals and a society. All Boone County residents are welcome to enjoy book talks and programs throughout October at any of the three Boone County libraries.

Plain talk

A visit to a quiet place Commentary by Ward Degler

When you first arrive at Minocqua, Wis., and step out of your car, the thing that strikes you most is the silence. Everywhere you look there are towering pine trees overlooking water. There is a soft whisper of breeze in the trees, the almost inaudible slap of water reaching the shore, and somewhere in the distance, the rustling scamper of a squirrel in the limbs above. All else is quiet. The town itself, a quaint village of 5,000 residents, sits on an island surrounded by the serpentine waters of Lake Minocqua. In the early 1800s when the place was founded by a man named Clawson, the only way to get to the village was by boat. In those early days the area was dominated by fur trappers and lumbermen. When those enterprises dwindled, Clawson and his followers turned their focus to tourism. There it remains to this day. In the winter skiers swoosh along the trails and down the gentle hills. Snowmobilers race

across the frozen lake. In the summer, fishermen troll the coves for pike, bass and muskie. Deer hunters show up with the first frost and set up stands at the edges of open marsh. Minocqua has long attracted visitors from all over the country. It was a favorite vacation spot for Dwight Eisenhower and a man named Taylor who was the father of actress Elizabeth Taylor. I was born in these north woods and lived for a year in a one-room government-owned log cabin just a few miles from here. I rode the bus 12 miles to school every day and listened under the covers at night to wolves howling in the forest. We moved away when World War II started, but I’ve carried that deep silence with me ever since. I am pleased to learn it is still here.

ZCS: Smaller classes, programs return Fine Lines, INC Hair & Nail Salon editorial@youarecurrent.com

Although Zionsville Community Schools already has added 154 new students this year, efforts to reduce class sizes are working, the school board reports. The school board received a preliminary report that showed smaller class sizes across all levels: • During the 2011-2012 school year there were 31 regular classes with 35 or more students at Zionsville Community High School. This academic year there is none (excluding special classes such as band). Additionally, there were 132 classes with 30 or more students and this year the number of classes at this size has dropped to 53. • At the middle-school level the number of regular classes with 35 or more students has dropped from 34 to three and the number of classes with 30 or more students has dropped from 101 to 73. • At the elementary-level where class size goals vary by grade level, the number of classes at or below the class-size goals has risen from 51 to 72 this year. The number of classes with four or more students over the class size goal has dropped from 40 to 27. Supt. Dr. Scott Robison said the annual report on class sizes will be presented as scheduled at the next board meeting, Oct. 8 at 6 p.m., but he said he wanted to share the impact of the 25

new teaching and counselor positions on restoring academic excellence. The school board voted last spring to use Rainy Day Funds to restore these positions for this academic year, because funds from the community referendum will not be available until spring 2013. In addition to the new positions aimed at reducing class sizes and restoring science and reading programs, the school board also authorized replacements for 17 positions left open due to resignations or retirements and 10 new teaching positions to operate full-day kindergarten. The State of Indiana provided school districts with a grant to offset a portion of the full-day kindergarten costs. The board also learned that Zionsville saw a 26 percent increase in the number of students participating in the ACT exam. More than half of the graduating class took the exam. ZCHS had a composite score 16 percent higher than all ACT test takers in Indiana. Collaboration with the Town of Zionsville and other local community organizations has also led to some unique opportunities and cost-savings. The school district was also able to provide existing fiber optic service to the Town of Zionsville in order for the mandated upgrade of telecommunications services. The shared resource resulted in an estimated savings to taxpayers of $172,000. Donations were recognized from both middle school PTOs to purchase software. Dow also gave a donation to provide

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

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

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

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

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

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

A healthy start to school Commentary by Mary Brunner

For many families September means settling back into a regular school schedule. As kids head back to class, there are strategies parents can incorporate into the daily routine to help children stay healthy and perform better in school. Manage your child’s sleep – Most kids don’t get enough sleep. Generally, preschoolers should sleep 10 to 12 hours per night, and school age/ early middle school children should get between 10 and 11 hours of sleep. Most teenagers in middle and high school are well rested with eight to nine hours of sleep. To help, keep cell phones and other electronics out of children’s bedrooms at night. Kids should get up at the same time every day to avoid staying up late on weekends. Eat healthy – Make sure children eat breakfast, even if it’s just a granola bar or yogurt. Breakfast foods with protein, such as peanut butter, are the best options. Pack school lunches with whole grain breads or wraps, fruit/raw vegetables, soups and milk. Avoid white bread and foods containing a lot of sugar. If kids eat school-prepared lunches, review the menu with them and suggest choices with less fat, sugar and salt. Exercise frequently – Studies show that children who exercise regularly (30-60 minutes several times weekly) sleep more restfully and get better grades. Exercise doesn’t have to be structured. Bicycling and playing outdoors are simple ways for kids to stay active. Be prepared – Mornings can be a busy time. To help ensure stress-free departures, be sure all homework is finished before children go to bed and have backpacks packed and ready by the door. Trust your instinct – School can be stressful for some children. You know your child best, so if he or she acts differently, or you notice mood or personality changes, talk to your child. Issues such as test anxiety and bullying can sometimes cause these types of changes. If necessary, contact your child’s doctor, teacher or the school counselor for guidance.

Our sentence above, once we’ve put on our best superhero voice to formally announce ourselves, is, “It is I.” At the simplest level, we know that sentences need two things: a noun and a verb. “I am,” for example, is a perfectly acceptable sentence. “I” is the subject. “Am” is the verb. “Me am,” on the other hand, is only acceptable if you work with Barney Rubble or haven’t advanced your diet beyond pureed carrots (not that there’s anything wrong with carrots). Though both “I” and “me” are personal pronouns, “I” is used as a subjective pronoun, while “me” is used as an objective pronoun. Figuring out which one to use comes down to the action of the sentence. To demonstrate, let’s use one of my favorite actions: eating. If I am eating alone, then I am the subject. I am the one eating. Subjective pronouns are simple enough. Let’s say, though, I’m eating with my friend, Carolyn. Or, more accurately for this demonstration, let’s say that Carolyn is eating with me. Why are we using the objective “me” all of a sudden? The preposition “with” has changed the direction of the action. As a preposition, “with” requires an object. That object, in this case, is I. It can be confusing at first, but the trick is to always look where the action is going. Let’s flip some sentences around and look at how that can change the pronoun. Carolyn and I need to set up our dinner plans, so I call Carolyn. In this case, I am performing the action and Carolyn is the recipient. Of course, Carolyn could always call me, in which case I would become the recipient (thus requiring the objective pronoun “me”) and Carolyn would become the actor. Now you could ask, since there is no preposition in the statement, “It is I,” why does is require a subjective pronoun? And it would be a good question. The answer is that when we come across linking verbs – words like “is,” “was” and “seem” – we use subjective pronouns. I remember this rule by flipping the sentence around, using the linking verb as the axis. For example, though the sentence, “It is I,” seems convoluted, “I am it,” makes a lot more sense than, “Me am it,” would. Or, “Me is it,” for that matter. To return to the knock, knock joke, when someone asks who is there, the answer is, “It is I.” If it helps you to jump into your best superhero pose as you declare your presence, you have my blessing. Or, you could always just say, “It’s me,” like the rest of the population would – but in your heart, you would know you were wrong.

Cover story

A lost summer has not derailed Patrick’s Kitchen and Drinks By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com

Inn and a great deal of Patrick’s kitchen area were heavily damaged. Mullen and his staff spent the morning getting rid of roughly $10,000 worth of food and beverages, while Dickerson stayed at the couple’s rural home trying to think of ways to keep the wedding party alive. “My Sugar Pie said we could use their space,” she said. “It all came together. We knew we were out of business for awhile, but we were going to follow through with that party.” It was the first of many hurdles to be cleared, and the first of many helping hands to be extended.

Fire is one of the five elements, a source of both fear and awe. It is critical to survival, and in its flames the secrets of transformation are held. It is at once dangerous and welcoming, simultaneously romantic and angry. Patrick Mullen and Beth Dickerson know a little bit about fire. The husband and wife duo, co-owners of Patrick’s Mullen Kitchen and Drinks, 175 S. Main St., have been in reset and rebuild mode since a June 15 blaze damaged their restaurant and its sister business, the Brick Street Inn. Months of revenue, employees and precious momentum have gone by the wayside, but not all has been lost. Dicekrson Patrick’s is set to reopen soon.

The fire

“My phone rang in the middle of the night,” said Mullen. “It was 2:30 a.m. – I still have the voicemail on my phone as a reminder.” It was a call from one of the restaurant’s neighbors, Kogan Antiques and Lighting, and it was not good news. Within minutes, Mullen arrived on the scene to find firefighters battling a blaze on the south exterior of the structure that provides his living. “We were supposed to host a wedding reception the following day,” Mullen said. “When I got (to the restaurant), I saw two couples seated in the alley watching the activity. They were guests at the Inn, and it turns out they were the bride’s family.” While no one was injured in the inferno, the

Patrick's bar www.currentzionsville.com

The aftermath

“We slept in a lot, went to see Beth’s mother a lot,” joked Mullen as he talked about how he and his partner passed the time in the several weeks following the conflagration. With an investigation ongoing – the cause is officially listed as ‘Undetermined’ – as to what prompted the blaze and repair work not yet in full swing, Mullen and Dickerson had more time than usual on their hands. That’s not to say things didn’t ramp up. “We’ve been meeting with vendors and new applicants, much like you would do when opening a new restaurant,” Mullen said, noting that he’s also hired a new chef, Roger Duran. Other changes include, at Duran’s behest, some different menu options and additional appetizers, small plates and desserts. Physically, Patrick’s will feature a new hood in a remodeled kitchen, as well as a new air conditioning unit, a refinished floor and new barstools. Not all the changes are for the better; Patrick’s has lost about 20 percent of its employees. “It’s been hardest on the staff,” Mullen said.

“We’re paying them at half wages, and that’s a big hit. Insurance has carried us through the summer.” Insurance, and Zionsville at large. “It started the day of the fire,” said Dickerson. “We got ice from restaurants around town, we took stuff over to Cobblestone (Grill), we had stuff down at the Pizza King, Serenity let us use their patio. All the neighboring restaurants helped, and everyone was just wonderful.”

The present and future

“The last month has been stressful because the completion date always moved,” Mullen said. “It’s been frustrating.” “Because most of the restoration involves the Inn and not us, we aren’t in charge,” added Dickerson. “No one there is our advocate, so we oversee things. It’s a dance of all the different workmen.” When asked about what they’ve learned through such a trying process, Mullen and Dickerson look outward rather than inward, and it’s a testimony to the place they’ve made a go of life and vocation. “We’ve had lots of hands reach out through the summer,” said Mullen. “The same situation played itself out several times. People say we’ve really persevered, but everybody has been gracious.” “I think it will teach us about the local support,” Dickerson summarized when looking back at the summer that was. “It’s been an outpouring of support from the community. Personally, I think it reinforced our resolve and our strength. We want to build on the momentum we had.” “Humbling is a word that’s overused,” said Mullen. “But this has been enlightening; we don’t have a lot of resources and have been fortunate. It’s a good example of how much Zionsville wants to help people who work hard.”

Opinion Mitt’s misstep? Chance for clarity

Hamilton County Rocks It is our position that Hamilton County is a great place to live, and now we have confirmation of that! Last month Money Magazine named Carmel as the best small town, topping a list of ninety-nine other towns across the country. The article applauds Carmel’s growth from sleepy Indianapolis bedroom community to a vibrant town in its own right. Among the reasons cited for living in Carmel are low unemployment, top schools, diversity of housing, a recreation center and of course the awe-inspiring Center for the Performing Arts. As the magazine article pointed out, as recently as five years ago, Main Street was mostly second hand shops housed in run-down storefronts, with a few die-hard businesses such as a barber shop and music center staying the course, and certainly not a place many people would want to spend leisure time. Today, there are vibrant restaurants, art museums, trendy shops, desserts to suit any taste, and easy access to The Monon Trail should one choose to walk or bicycle there rather than drive and park. It is also worth mentioning that Fishers was named number twelve in the same list. Spread the word: Hamilton County is a fine place to live!

Was Marley right?

Commentary by Terry Anker

Delusions of altruism aside, most humans are fundamentally self-interested. That doesn’t mean that we are all some form of Dickensonian Scrooge awaiting a visit from the three apparitions to put us on the path to righteousness. Instead, the statement simply acknowledges that we mostly tend to do what makes us feel good. Some of us like to run companies. Some of us like to run governments. Some of us like to teach. Others of us like to create. Whatever the proclivity, our natures will find a way to lead us there. Clearly, one’s motivation is rarely neatly segregated – it would be most accurate to understand that there are a plethora of reasons instigating our actions all-the-while recognizing that overarching themes drive us to make important life choices. This election is being framed, by those who chose to proclaim these kinds of things, as a voter’s decision between competing forms of government. The first, one would imagine, continues to grow and feed the administrative

state. The second, implied by reference, would attempt to shrink it by starvation. But as debates like this often become, the discourse has had very little to do with this issue. Instead, lines are drawn and the opposing sides square off talking more about whether entrepreneurs can own their successes and whether welfare recipients are being victimized by government largess. Does anyone really want to see folks suffer? I have to believe, absent a few sadists, that most of us want good for others. So is it possible that those across the political spectrum are really talking about the exact same thing from very different perspectives? And, if so, how do we come to conclusions about what the best mix might be? And, is it even possible to force an alignment of our individual interests to those of the state?

The ultimate inspiration is the deadline. - Nolan Bushnell Current in Zionsville

We're sure you're aware of the latest controversy surrounding the presidential campaign. Republican challenger Mitt Romney has taken some heat for saying Americans “dependent” on government assistance “believe they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” We're glad he said it. The camera never blinks. This, we believe, is the fundamental issue in the presidential election to be decided Nov. 6 if not, effectively, beforehand. We need to decide what kind of nation we want to have. Do we want individual responsibility, to keep more of what we earn, to stop runaway regulation and to help only the truly needy? Or, do we want a nation based on collectivism, where the notion of individual is forsaken, thus creating a never-ending cycle of dependency? We’re unequivocally for the former. We hope Romney refuses to back away from his statements. We hope he takes the argument directly to voters. We're no fans of the former Massachusetts governor, who we see as a weak candidate at best. Still, his hopes very well could hinge on his ability to make a silk purse out of this sow’s ear. In the aftermath of his comments, he actually has presented himself an extraordinary opportunity to clarify that message and his policy stances - and to make crystal clear the contrasts between himself and incumbent President Barack Obama are as stark as we believe they are. That, we suppose, will be up to his team of advisors, and given that team’s performance (or lack of it) thus far, it makes for a scary proposition.

Prison is tough, but so is parenting Commentary by Danielle Wilson Prison is tough, for inmates at least. My husband and I are rather enjoying our term as wardens. We grounded our teenage son, see, and he’s struggling to adjust to a life behind bars. Attica! Make no mistake, Inmate 7 (as we’ve come to call him) is guilty. We warned him at the beginning of the school year about keeping up his grades, and thanks to the Internet, we can view them whenever we want. I couldn’t sleep the other night so I did a cursory background check on the suspect. Turns out our little juvie hasn’t exactly been toeing the academic line. The next morning, Doo and I subpoenaed the accused and heard his side. Then we read him his heavily amended Miranda rights and promptly threw him in the can. No trial, no jury, no phone call. (Chez Wilson is more like North Korea when it comes to civil liberties.) His first day of incarceration wasn’t too bad. He got work-release for school, and the football game he could no longer attend was cancelled as a results of inclement weather. But then the weekend arrived, and his confinement took on a whole new meaning. Fresh fish! Fresh fish! The complaining, whining, and general depression soon morphed into desperate requests for shock probation. Denied. Twice. He did the crime, he’s doing the time. Then it got really interesting. Apparently word of his confinement spread quickly among his

peeps, and we soon saw various attempts to jailbreak him. While he was mowing the back lawn, for example, two would-be accomplices tried to jump our storm-swollen creek and pass him food. Another “friend” boldly rang our doorbell with a mediocre cover story of having left his bike here and needing our perp to ride it back for him. Lame. How naïve do they think we are? And it’s not like he’s in solitary. We let him keep his cell phone, for Pete’s sake, which basically keeps him in touch with his entire posse. But he’d argue abuse is rampant. Physical labor, lack of junk food, and restrictions on electronics make him think he’s being water-boarded or something. Like Geneva even applies here. (North Korea, remember?) Sorry, Inmate 7. You’ll get your three hots and a cot and you’ll like it. Or not. We don’t really care. In fact, it’s almost entertaining to watch him grapple with the knowledge that he did this to himself. Hopefully, he’ll learn from his experience and make smarter choices next time. If not, we have no problem Shawshank-ing his behind again. Some kids just take longer to figure out how to make parole. Yes, prison is tough. But so is parenting. Deal with it. Peace out.

Learn cursive, it's easier to forget Commentary by Mike Redmond Lots of people are disturbed about the trend away from teaching cursive writing. I’m among them. I’ve been told I have nice handwriting. This would come as a complete shock to Mrs. Shoemaker, my sixth grade teacher, who was disgusted with my penmanship. I say the deck was stacked. If your handwriting didn’t look exactly like Mrs. Shoemaker’s, you were guaranteed a check mark in the “needs improvement” box on your report card, and (in my case) several despairing notes to the parental units: “Michael seems unwilling to improve his penmanship.” “Michael’s sloppy penmanship remains a problem. I misread a line in his book report on ‘Guadalcanal Diary’ as “Vivian Vance has a big butt.’” This was back when schools still championed the Palmer Method of handwriting instruction. We Palmer Method students have a bond forged by spending countless hours with our Scripto cartridge pens, making endless rows of circles and loops on sheets of lined paper while our teachers stood over us with cattle prods, reminding us to use our hands and arms, not our fingers, to guide the writing instruments. Then came high school, when I discovered a talent for forgery. It came about when my father’s paycheck was mailed to the house and he wasn’t around to endorse it. The bank told Mom

Standing room only

that any reasonable facsimile of Dad’s signature would suffice, so I filled up a notebook page with Patrick H. Redmonds and by the time I got to the last one, you couldn’t tell my version of Dad’s signature from the genuine article. And didn’t that open some doors. Not only did my handwriting get better, but I no longer had to worry about unexcused absences, report cards or permission slips. And here’s the beauty part: Nobody ever asked how Dad could be signing all these documents when I went to high school in LaGrange, Ind. and he lived in Washington, D.C. I’ve heard all the arguments against teaching cursive – about how nobody uses it because we do all our communicating with e-mail and text nowadays. You still have to sign checks and contracts. So kids, learn cursive. If not the Palmer Method, try the Mike Method: Copy from your parents. And when you sign your own note to the teacher saying you were sick when you were really home playing video games, as you surely will, remember the first rule: Make sure you spell “pneumonia” correctly. I had a close call with that one. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline.com or P.O. Box 44385, Indianapolis, IN 46244.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I have never been much of a handyman, which is why our last fix-it guy charged me $30.00 an hour—unless I helped him. Then it was $50.00 an hour. Now that I’m semi-retired, I have decided to try a few projects that I would never have attempted even a few years ago. My first goal was to do some repair work in the guest bathroom. I told my wife about my plans. “Mary Ellen, I have some exciting news about the toilet.” “Don’t tell me. You’re going to start putting the seat down?” I promised I would, but first I needed to find a replacement for the old one, so I headed out. “I’m looking for a toilet seat.” “Back of the store, in the center, behind the appliance section.” “No, I don’t want to use one. I want to buy a new seat.” “Sorry, Sir. What kind are you looking for— round or oblong?” I tried to picture our guests, but they come in so many shapes and sizes, I wasn’t sure what to do. Plus, just thinking about it was making me feel a little creepy. I took a guess and bought an oblong seat, unpacked it as soon as I got home and got to work. I was struggling with getting the bolts tightened, so I called my buddy, John, who knows about stuff like this. (Last year he repaired our microwave oven in 30 seconds; the

plug had come out of the wall.) I told John that when I sat down there was more jiggling than there used to be. He reminded me how old I was, so I can’t blame the jiggling on the toilet seat anymore. When Mary Ellen got home, I bragged about the bathroom renovation and told her that this week I was going to write my column on the new toilet seat. “Don’t you think you’d be more comfortable sitting at the computer desk?” she asked. I called my friend Bob and asked him to stop by so he would have a chance to see my handiwork. When he arrived, I offered him an ice cold beer. But he wasn’t biting…or drinking. “I’m way ahead of you, Dick. I ran into Mary Ellen at the drug store yesterday and she told me you’d probably want me to come over to admire your accomplishment. Your aim is just to get me to use your new facilities, right?” “Bob, just get in there and worry about your own aim.” Then Bob—just to drive me crazy—finished his beer and quickly left to go home. I don’t know when anyone else is going to stop by our place. I guess I have to be patient…and will try to sit tight.

Potter’s Bridge prepares for 13th fall festival By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Parks & Recreation Dept. will transform the usual tranquil Potter's Bridge Park, 19401 N Allisonville Rd., Noblesville, into a lively festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 6. Guests of the Potter's Bridge Fall Festival can listen to live music, visit the art and craft booths, take your little ones to the kid’s area, and enjoy the natural scenery of Noblesville's most scenic park on the White River Greenway Trail. Oct. 6 marks the 13th year of the free, annual festival. “It’s been a popular event for that long,” said Resource Development Specialist Don Nicholls of the HHCPR dept. Nicholls said the festival will include 70 vendors with a wide variety of products, entertainment and food. “It all takes place in the park setting. Local residents know it is a very peaceful and scenic park and the addition of the historic covered bridge is special,” he said. “Vendors have been coming for a long time and the first spot they ask for is on the covered bridge.” A 10x10 foot booth space is only $30 and Nicholls said the low price provides in home businesses or entrepreneurial individuals an opportunity to showcase their goods. “This is the least expensive way to sell arts and crafts for that kind of traffic and exposure,” said Nicholls. “The great variety adds to the popularity.” In addition to vendors, the festival will include a kid’s zone with the popular bounce house. Nicholls said parks staff will man an arts and crafts table and the park includes a large children’s playground. Entertainment will be provided by the Poison River Boys, a bluegrass band. “We’ll have a hay bale stage but asked they www.currentzionsville.com

Fishers: The Whipstitch Sallies at Hearthstone – This Friday, Hearthstone Coffee House and Pub is hosting the Whipstitch Sallies at 8 p.m. The allfemale, folk quartet The Whipstich Sallies features the mandolin, guitar, harmonica and bass. Take in the tunes with a pitcher of draft, craft beer and some close friends. Hearthstone also features fairly priced pub food. Noblesville: State of the Union – The Belfry Theatre will begin its 2012-2013 season Friday with the drama “State of the Union” – the 1946 Pulitzer Prize-winning play and a delightfully fresh satire on America’s favorite pastime, politics. Show times are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Reservations can be made at 773-1085 or www.thebelfrytheatre.com.

unplug and circulate among the festival so someone with a banjo may walk up to you and start strumming,” Nicholls said. Kara Joray has been a vendor at the Potter’s Bridge Fall Festival for the past three years. The Noblesville resident said she enjoys how it’s close to home, especially since she attends festivals all over Indiana. “I always ask for the bridge, it’s more fun that way,” she said. “I see a lot more local people around the neighborhood who come.” Joray’s business, Alpha Pics, sells photos of everyday objects the look like letters. She then frames or mount letters into words and names. Joray and her sister take all of the photos, which has become popular. “There’s a lot more competition than I had

four years ago when I started,” she joked. Wendy Blaylock of Corner Cottage is also preparing for her fourth fall festival. Blaylock, a resident of Muncie, said she enjoys the sight of the leaves changing colors and variety of vendors. “There are unique vendors there – a little more upscale, with nice quality handcrafted items. You find some interesting things there,” she said. “It’s scenic to walk around. Even if you don’t find anything, you don’t feel like you’ve wasted your time.” If you’re looking for fall flowers, check out Blaylock’s booth, which sells 50 different varieties of mums for $5 and 20 kinds of sunflowers.

A MUSICAL FABLE

SEPTEMBER 7-30, 2012 Tailgating treats to make before the game

Bars are a cross between a cake, pie, candy and cookie. They are prepared in a baking pan/ dish and then cut into hand size squares. They allow improvisation by the cook to add many tasty items not on a precise recipe. Bars can be served into a tailgater’s hand, on a napkin or a paper plate. They are eaten by hand and do not require a spoon or fork. They are served cold so they do not require heating at the tailgate site. Here’s one of my favorites. CARROT CAKE BARS

Ingredients: 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 3/4 cup canola oil, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups carrots cut into 1/2 inch pieces Frosting: 6 ounces softened cream cheese, 1 cup confectioners sugar sifted, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 Tablespoon finely chopped pecans Prepare: Preheat oven to 350. Lightly butter a 13x9 baking dish. Combine flours, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl; add the pecans; stir to blend. Place the oil, brown sugar, www.currentzionsville.com

eggs and vanilla in the bowl of your food processor. Process until blended then gradually add the carrots through the feed tube while the motor is running. Process this until the carrots are finely chopped. Pour the carrot mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well blended. Spread the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges pull away from the sides and you can place a tooth pick into the middle and it comes out dry. Cool on a wire rack. To make the frosting beat the cream cheese and confectioners sugar until smooth. Add the lemon juice, nutmeg and vanilla. On game day, spread the frosting over the cooled bars and then sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cut into bars. Decorate each with an icing orange carrot with green leaves. Or decorate each with a team “letter” symbol, like a B for Bears or horseshoe for Colts, etc.

Indiana Heart Hospital gets new moniker, continues serving Hamilton County By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com On Oct. 1, the Indiana Heart Hospital is going to begin transitioning into the Community Heart and Vascular Hospital. The hospital, which has been part of the Community Health Network for nearly 10 years, is going through the name change to eliminate confusion and build a stronger connection to the network, Tom Malasto, president of Community Heart and Vascular Hospital and chief operating officer for Community Hospitals of Indiana, said in a phone interview with Current. Malasto “The Indiana Heart Hospital, a long-standing anchor on the Community North campus, is changing its name, not only to bring it more closely into the Community Health Network family by name, but also to reflect the comprehensive range of state-of-the-art services and procedures available,” he stated previosuly in a press release.

Traditional practices, like vascular surgical services, valve repair and care of congestive heart failure are in place. “We continue to evolve our services,” Malasto told Current. He said the hospital’s cardiovascular genetic counseling center is a point of pride, as well as electrophysiology.

DOUGH

Insurance

Be covered while working from home Question from Juliet M. from Westfield: I work from home once or twice a week. Are there any insurance issues I need to worry about? Response from Jamie Ianigro: If you have an ongoing arrangement that allows you to work at home in any capacity, you will be considered a telecommuter. The special privilege of reduced commuting also brings some special insurance considerations in play. Bringing your work home with you can have some unintended consequences. The main reason is because most homeowners policies severely restrict or exclude coverage for business property. This is further complicated by the fact that business property is usually pretty valuable. Business property could include anything your employer provides for you to work at home including computers, printers, phone equipment, valuable paperwork, etc. Liability issues can also arise when you’re working from home. A typical homeowners policy will completely exclude business related losses. A social guest slipping and falling is a simple, and common, claim that your homeowners policy will cover. Switch it around and make that guest a business guest and you can have liability issues for you and for your employer. Liability claims are never fun, but they’re a lot less fun when your homeowners policy excludes them.

Using your personal vehicle for job-related activities, like making deliveries or client calls, can also cause some issues. Most personal auto policies exclude job-related use. Driving to and from work would not fall under job-related use. Some examples of job-related use would be: picking up a client at the airport, running to the store to restock the office vending machine, driving to and from client appointments, etc. Now that you have a better idea of what you should be worried about, you should take a minute to document what you do so your employer and your independent insurance agent can make sure you’re covered properly. Make note of the following: • What routine job duties do you perform in your home? • Are any tasks hazardous? • Who visits your home because of your job? • Is a certain part of your home dedicated as a work area/office? • What equipment is used in your job? Who owns each piece of equipment? The answers to these questions will be a great start for you and your independent insurance agent to make sure you are adequately protected.

Get a pro’s help – Participants in 401(k) plans who receive some form of guidance earn annual returns an average of three percentage points higher than those who don’t, according to Aon Hewitt and Financial Engines. You may even be able to get it for free; an increasing number of companies offer it as a benefit. www.cnnmoney.com

Embrace your abode – The ratio of the price the average millionaire paid for his first home, compared to his annual income is 1.49 – and, there are three times more millionaires living in houses under $300,000 than are living in houses worth $1 million or more. Smart approach; historically, stocks have handily beaten the returns on real estate and lately, prices on smaller homes have held up better than larger ones. - www.cnnmoney.com

Progress is good?

Commentary by Vicky Earley

Progress is good . . . right? Well, sometimes. Progress in the manufacturing of residential furnishings is really good . . . right? Well, sometimes. The internal workings of newer, lower priced furnishings generally feature a Drop-In Machine-Tied system. This is a pre-assembled, machine-made coil system designed to simulate the hand-tied predecessor. The machine made system drops into the frame and is fastened at the corners. This type of coil system attempts to mimic the traditional method of Eight-Way Hand-Tied Coils, but it is generally considered inferior in the support and comfort it has to offer. One of the problems is that when one of the coils fails, the comfort cannot be retrieved. The frame is critical to the life of your piece, as well. You can find a chair that looks great on the surface only to discover that under the fabric on the arms is rolled cardboard, which is destined to fail under use. Solid wood frames ensure that your sofa is not going to fall apart over time. While engineered wood can provide a decent quality piece, solid hardwood frames are the gold standard in

most quality upholstered furnishings. Corner blocks are used to provide solid support for the sofa frame. A piece of wood is wedged between one side of the sofa and the other and then secured in place. This construction method offers reinforcement for the joints and results in a stronger frame. Glue and stapling corner blocks on a frame is the easiest, least costly way of manufacturing a sofa frame, but it carries with it the poorest reputation for strength. A step up is to nail the corner blocks. Screwing the wood joints together is absolutely the best way to create a secure foundation. A quality piece of furniture … manufactured with methods that were developed prior to the progress in manufacturing should last about 10 years, depending on amount of use. A piece manufactured with some or all of the newer methods could last as little as six months to two years. I guess, even with progress, you still get what you pay for.
