Pizza business keeps on truckin’

By Ryan Zukerman editorial@youarecurrent.com

Twenty five years ago, a commercial airline pilot dreamed of the opportunity to have hot pizza delivered straight to him in the comfort of his home. Fast-forward 15 years and the result is Neighborhood Pizza, an easy and friendly pizza delivery service based in the heart of west Carmel. According to the business website, nhpizza.net, “It is our intention to deliver you the hottest and freshest pizza right out of the oven and right to your door.”

Owner Tami Maslyk, whose ex-husband came up with the idea for the business, currently runs Neigh- business lunches, birthday parties and other Maslyk occasions. borhood Pizza and, as of Currently, Neighborhood Pizza only today, has been in business for 10 years.

Carmel family ties for second in county race

By Katy Zeller • katy@youarecurrent.com The Race Across Hamilton County began with an energetic leap forward at Ritchey Woods in Fishers and came to a competitive close at Forest Park in Noblesville.

Second and third place went to two teams from not only the same city, but also from the same family. Jason and Kathryn Kempson (Team No. 16) and Jared and Becca Kempson (Team No. 19) of Carmel shared the same time down to the second. With both teams overall time recorded at 3:01:57, the judges had to determine who qualified for second or third place.

Amanda Jackson, the recreation program coordinator for Fishers Parks, said the judges did this by placing the five park sites into a hat. A site was picked at random and the scores from that site were compared. The team with the best time took second place.

Team No. 2, Shannon McDonald and Meachelle Wishart of Noblesville, took first place – and a $350 prize.

McDonald and Wishart, who have been neighbors and running buddies for about five years, had joked that they should do “The Amazing Race” together. When the opportunity came up for the Race Across Hamilton County, they agreed to sign up.

“It took real team work,” Wishart said.

“We both have our strength and weakness and seemed to really balance out between the two of us. The area that I wasn’t as strong with, Meachelle was strong with,” McDonald explained.

Neither of the women planned or trained for the event. They simply avoided the crowd and

focused on the challenges.

“Everyone seemed to run for the closest thing first,” Wishart said.

“And just the opposite of where everyone else went, we ran,” McDonald added.

The day was perfect for the event, and team members enjoyed the challenges at each park and the friendly faces of volunteers who served throughout the day.

“The parks department did a really good job of putting it together,” Wishart said.

“There were a lot of volunteers who were cheerful and helpful and helped make it fun,” added McDonald.

Sixty years of marriage – Dr. Robert and Ann Hartman celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on Aug. 30. Hartman married the former Catherine “Ann” Jenkins at Visitation Catholic Church in Kewanee, Ill. He is the former superintendent of Carmel Clay Schools, and he and his family have lived in Carmel since 1968.

The Hartmans are the parents of Michael (Carol) Hartman, Mark (Robin) Hartman, Mary Beth (Robert) Barnes and the former Melissa (Bob) McCulloch. They have nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Carmel’s financial rating remains strong editorial@youarecurrent.com A recent evaluation of Carmel’s refinancing package by Standard & Poor’s anticipates no change from Carmel’s current AA+ rating.

“It really substantiates that the City of Carmel is not in any dire financial situation based on independent, impartial and comparative analyses by an internaBrainard tional bond rating agency,” said Loren Matthes, principal with H. J. Umbaugh & Associates Certified Public Accountants.

The S&P analyst indicated that there were no concerns about the debt burden. The analyst went on to say that, because of the assessed value increases, the debt ratios had not changed significantly despite additional debt. Carmel maintains a detailed multi-year fiscal plan, which was reviewed

by S&P and discussed by Mayor Jim Brainard.

“I am very pleased that S&P has reaffirmed Carmel’s fiscal strength,” Brainard said. “S&P is a well-respected financial rating firm that is objective in its analysis and this rating speaks

Five key factors that form the foundation of S&P’s sovereign credit analysis: • Institutional effectiveness and political risks, reflected in the political score • Economic structure and growth prospects, reflected in the economic score • External liquidity and international investment position, reflected in the external score • Fiscal performance and flexibility, as well as debt burden, reflected in the fiscal score • Monetary flexibility, reflected in the monetary score volumes about Carmel’s true fiscal condition.”

The rating is preliminary until the final legal documents have been agreed upon and signed by the Carmel City Council.

The AA+ rating is S&P’s second-highest rating. Ratings are meant to provide a reflection of the fiscal climate of a sovereign government and are based on the willingness of an organization or government to service financial obligations to nonofficial (commercial) creditors.

Plain Talk

Not so fast…

Commentary by Jen Hutson

Growing up in Carmel, I often encountered criticism of others regarding my apparent bratty affluence. When I was young I tried to argue the point. I knew the attack felt wrong, that there was more to my story and to Carmel, but it was not until adulthood that I uncovered the deeper complexity of community and location.

After we married, my husband and I followed friends to Broad Ripple. Having lived on the north side for years, we felt drawn to live in what appeared a more economically and ethnically diverse locale. We eventually outgrew our rented 1920s bungalow and decided to buy a home.

We targeted the Washington Township area. We considered it more diverse and humbler than the north side, but not so humble as to be un-chic.

After a year of searching, we realized something: We couldn’t afford a decent home there. Begrudgingly, we turned our sights north and eventually found our home in Carmel.

The clichés ensued – we must be “rich” to live in Carmel! Commenters were always incredulous when we explained Carmel had been more affordable than the purportedly “urban” north

side communities.

Many label Carmel as pretentious. But pretention is relative. In my experience, some of those who malign Carmel for its asserted exclusivity or insularity reside in Zionsville, Meridian-Kessler, etc. We all justify our choices, and the location of our homes is no different.

Long ago I grew weary of being judged for living in Carmel, by strangers or friends. I believe what’s primary is not where we live, but how. I experience more diversity and community with my neighbors here than I did in Broad Ripple. Those who judge our community based on its brick facades or roundabouts foolishly form an ad hominem argument. People are not so simple, and neither are communities.

Life happens in Carmel – rich moments and moments of poverty, contentment, heartbreak, significance.

As I always knew, there is more to the story.

Performing arts center honors volunteer performance Commentary by Jeff Worrell Just before the curtain rises, the ushers at the Palladium scan the crowd, satisfied everyone is in their seat and a job well done is complete.

The black-panted, white shirt clad expert is a valuable member of the Center For The Performing Arts staff, with one major condition: each one of them is a volunteer.

Currently at 471 members, the Volunteer Usher Corp has toiled some 43,628 hours serving the needs of ticketholders since opening night. Officials figure their work comprises 10,907 trips to the Palladium, Tarkington or Studio Theatre to show up for an average 4-hour shift. At a recent reception to honor the devoted volunteers, Center CEO Tania Castroverde Moskalenko heaped praise and appreciation upon the volunteers. In poetic cadence she said, “It’s not for the fame, it’s not for any personal gain, it’s just for the love of fellow man.”

It is clearly evident when attending any event; the people greeting, seating, directing and straightening enjoy what they do: so much so, in fact, that there were some standouts who were honored for high achievement and overthe-top dedication to their mode of service. Bill and Marge Dorsche rose from their Palladium seats and took a position front and center on the stage they usually only view. Named Volunteers of the Year for the 2011 Inaugural season, Bill

and Marge Dorsche are certainly more than deserving. Of note is their incredible commitment to the Center – they have served as ushers for 142 performances. If that were not enough, the Dorsches compiled a three-volume scrapbook about the Center and its programs.

Also taking Volunteer of the Year honors, but for 2012, were Bill and Nancy Heath. Together, the Heaths are the second-most active couple, showing up 124 times ready to serve the people anticipating their favorite artist and a night to remember.

General Manager Doug Tatum also wanted to recognize volunteers who have served more than could be normally expected. Carolyn Brittsan, Harris Jones, Jerry Steinfeld and Betty Swartz achieved Century Milestone status for their 100 or more evenings on duty. Finally, heading to the stage for their moment in the spotlight, Jim Burrell, Rick Horvath, Patricia Horvath, Marcia Jansen, Jeff Lefton, Janice McGill, Peg Prough, Paul Swartz and Joan Walker were honored for their service “Above and Beyond.” A round of applause, please.

Cover Story

Luke Sartino dabbles in many disciplines, excels in all

By Derek Fisher • derek@youarecurrent.com They say if you’re good enough, people will tell you; you won’t have to tell them.

If it’s possible to encapsulate a person as accomplished as Carmel’s Luke Sartino in a single phrase or thought, that would be the one.

“What most people say about Luke,” said his father, Don, “is if you meet him, you’d never know what he’s done.”

What he’s done is pretty much everything in the karate world. And he’s only 17.

“I’ve won national championships in AAU karate since I was 5, up until now,” Luke said almost sheepishly when asked to recount his biggest accomplishments. “I’ve won national titles in other karate organizations like the PKC, USKA and NKF also.”

He’s traveled all over the world competing in tournaments – he and his family just returned from Mexico, where Luke helped the U.S. team earn a fourth-place finish in the Pan-American Games. To take a tour of the Sartinos’ home is to validate and expound upon Luke’s statements. Two full rooms are packed with trophies and medals and the like, and the walls are adorned with news clippings and mementos.

The collection has been 14 years in the making.

“When I was 3, my parents wanted somewhere for me to go,” Luke said. “I was already in soccer and hockey, but they saw a sign at (Carmel’s) Adamson’s Karate. They weren’t sure about a 3-year-old, but they let me join. I don’t know how we convinced them.”

That answer probably lies in Luke’s maturity.

Two years into his karate career, he “started getting good,” by his own humble estimation.

He made his way onto a competitive team and started doing tournaments.

“That year I won a national gold at Kumate,” he said. “The next year I won four gold medals at nationals, and all the years through I was just able to keep getting gold medals.”

Twice-weekly private lessons, rigorous training at Adamson’s and trips to Italy, Japan, Slovenia, England, Spain and Ireland to compete in tourneys followed. Along the way, Luke and his family alike made lasting friendships and priceless cultural memories.

Somehow, Luke also competed in gymnastics and managed to become a pretty good soccer player along the way.

“I joined (local soccer club) Dynamo when I was 9, and played there until I was 13,” said the Brebeuf junior honor roll student. “Then I went to Carmel United. That’s where I am now; we’ve www.currentincarmel.com

won four state titles.”

Soccer has come with a price tag, however: Injuries requiring four separate knee surgeries have cost Luke nearly two years of karate practice and competition.

“It was awful,” he said of the rehab process.

“I was shell shocked. I didn’t know what to do with myself because I was always used to doing something. I’d rather be exhausted when I come home than just do nothing.”

These days, injuries firmly behind him, Luke is as busy as ever. He recently got his driver’s license, but will not disclose about having a girlfriend. The future holds college, a little bit of the unknown and one very big dream.

“It’s my goal to compete in the 2020 Olympics,” he said. “Karate is the front-runner to be added as a sport to the Games. That’s my dream.”

“He’s been excelling at so many things at the same time,” he said. “It’s the uniqueness of it.

He keeps his grades up, he does all these things but maintains. He is a good kid, never had any trouble with him. He listens and pays attention.

That’s what’s cool about him.”

Opinion We hope Brainard talks on what’s next

Honey Boo Boo for president?

It is our position that registered voters should do their best to remain engaged in the election process this fall. There is no doubt that the political noise pollution could be potentially deafening as the final few months, days and hours leading up to Election Day on Nov. 6 approaches.

The Democratic National Convention will be over by the time this editorial goes to print, however, here’s hoping more voters tuned in than their Republican counterparts who were beat out in the television ratings by a reality show, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” featuring the adventures of a 6-yearold self-proclaimed “redneckognized” pageant starlet and her family.

While watching back-to-back campaign speeches and crowd shots of red, white and blue clad convention delegates with confetti on their shoulders may not be the most exciting television, it is an opportunity to learn more about the candidates.

Whether you open your wallet, attend a gathering, visit an official campaign Web site, listen to a candidate being interviewed on the radio or open up a newspaper – it is crucial to the success of your community and to the nation, that you can make an informed decision on Election Day.

Smelling the roses

Commentary by Terry Anker

“You should stop and smell the roses,” they admonish. Stop working, building and accumulating and enjoy fruits from that labor and the gifts of God. While I get the point, finding the balance continues to flummox me.

Doesn’t it often seem like we trying to drink from a fire hydrant – the water is either absent or raging. Taking a tiny sip requires distance and perspective. Drink too close to the source and it’s going to hurt. We constantly struggle with the choices we’re forced to make between family, work, charity, spirituality and even ourselves. Perhaps this affliction of the modern age is of minor consequence. When one is starving or fearful of wild animals, priorities become very clear-cut. But in a world that fully meets basic needs, we have choice. And that freedom invites moral hazard.

Work too much and family suffers. Work too little and they suffer in different ways.

Spend too little time in reflection and our soul can lose its mooring. Yet if workers produce,

and correspondingly consume, too little, jobs would vanish for lack of demand, governments would fail for lack of taxes, charities would close for lack of support and tens of millions would suffer and die. In short: If we all smell the roses, who is planting, tending and preserving them? Absent care, how long can we expect them to flourish?

Perhaps we simply align along lines of our natural ability. Some seek constant engagement while others prefer a more relaxed schedule.

Even in the same household, one child may be eager to study and make their bed while her sister is equally eager to avoid work focusing instead on less productive pursuits. Does this bias stem from culture or genetics? Is one approach morally superior? Is there greater failure in over-work or underachievement?

If you can swing it, you’ll want to be there.

Mayor Jim Brainard will give his State of the City Address at the October luncheon of the Carmel Chamber of Commerce. With the No. 1-city ranking by Money magazine in his pocket, and Carmel Redevelopment Commission and other debt restructuring (to speak nothing of only a semi-friendly City Council) on Brainard’s mind, we’re hopeful of hearing less about the former and more about latter, as well as what Carmel is doing to continue to strengthen it’s standing in Central Indiana and beyond.

As has been his custom, we anticipate Brainard running down the list of accomplishments from the last year; it’s always good to hear those, and it makes us feel great about our long-ago decisions to relocate to this wonderful city. But what we really want to hear about is what’s next. It’s looking ahead – especially by a man of his vision – that will engage the audience. The event will be from noon to 1:30, Oct. 10, at Ritz Charles.

Last year, the walls were bent back by the 450 or so attendees. To get in on what should be an interesting, to say the least, 90 minutes, call 846.1049 by noon, Oct. 8.

••• A hearty round of applause to Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry, who teamed last week with state Attorney General Greg Zoeller to warn Indiana retailers that they can expect a formal notice that continued synthetic drug sales could cost them their businesses. Simply put: Sales of “Spice” and “Bath Salts,” among 60 or so like products, must end. They comprise a scourge.

Enough of Spigelman Editor, Marnin Spigelman, again? Really? Last week I was relieved to read that Mr. Spigelman had left the city, erroneously believing that he would no longer feel the need to “educate” us poor, deluded citizens of Carmel about what a horrible place we live in with fiscal storm clouds looming overhead that we are obviously too focused on navigating roundabouts to see.

Is he now a columnist for your paper? Why do I not only see his diatribe against the city, the government, the people of Carmel, but now a picture of him?

My family moved to Carmel in 1992. We chose Carmel because of the schools – there wasn’t much other reason to choose Carmel at that time. Now we live in a vibrant city with athletic and cultural amenities and an active

downtown area where we can sit outside enjoying a meal or a drink with friends while listening to live music. We are grateful to the schools which educated our daughter. We appreciate the mayor for his vision of what Carmel can be and the hard work of everyone who is making it happen.

What has Marnin Spigelman ever done for Carmel? If it was someone like Jeff Worrell expressing concerns, I would be inclined to listen.

Has Spigelman volunteered for anything other than his failed attempts to run for mayor? Has he helped the schools, the library, assisted with Carmel Fest, volunteered with the Rotary Club or any other charitable organization? Please don’t give any more print space to this selfimportant whiner.

Matthew VanScoik, 46032

Another view of religion Editor, I’ve read Bob Walters with interest. I wonder why a periodical which strives to represent the community does not present an alternative view of spirituality.

I am one of 20 percent of Americans who does not believe in a God. I cannot speak for all atheists, but there are common threads in what we believe and how we arrived there.

We do not worship the Devil; we do believe in evil in the living form. People are mean to each other and this pains me as much as it pains any church attendee. Recent events in Colorado and Wisconsin were incomprehensibly cruel, and the latter was another example of American racism and prejudice taken to an extreme.

What do we believe in? What did it for me was that religion requires belief in a supernatural

being. I have never seen nor heard of a supernatural event that defied the laws of physics.

As science progressed, religion saw fit to keep up and prove God’s worth. In my lifetime, the Biblical age of the Earth has gone from 10,000 years to 14 billion.

Atheists look into the universe without limitation. We don’t come to the end of our knowledge and say, “I don’t know so I’ll just believe God did it.” Non-believers have made tremendous strides in the understanding of what we are, and I know sensibility will continue to win out.

Do we have all the answers? No. However, the difference is rather than saying, “God did it,” we say, “I want to learn more.”

Don't play that card Commentary by Derek Fisher

I’m tired of a lot of things – politics, religion, Tom Brady. Know what I’m most tired of? The propagation of racism. It’s more detrimental to the existence of the human race than the other three things I just mentioned, combined.

A recent column in an Indy-area publication is the perfect example. The writer, who is black, detailed why Carmel was not for her, why it was disingenuous. Her colleague, a white co-worker, basically wrote a negative image of her effort; he loves Carmel.

But, he didn’t play the race card.

The former, amid more defensible slights, not-so-slyly noted Carmel’s predominantly white demographic in her 1,800-word takedown. I noticed.

This is not surprising. Slavery was abolished 147 years ago, and black Americans today are as equal as anyone. Yet the idea, the whisper, that present-day whites are still culpable for some moral misdeed, is damned tangible sometimes.

It’s a tired act, and it’s counterproductive.

I’m white. I don’t personally know anyone of my race who doesn’t see a fellow human as just that, without pretense. I feel good and bad come from all corners; that everything is to be taken case by case. Can the writer say the same?

She rails on Carmel’s downtown statues (agreed, they are a tad much) promoting parenting and literacy, yet glorifies an “old-school Impala blasting a ‌ song so loud that the bumper shakes.â€? She says the city proper is more authentic due to the Chevy’s presence.

Given the internal struggles the black community faces today, I find that juxtaposition highly ironic.

The writer says Carmel is “a simulation of a city� – I’m curious as to what about walkability, hustle and bustle and increased commerce is faux. Would this city be viewed in a better light from points south if the streets had more potholes? What about panhandlers?

I’m house shopping in Carmel as we speak.

My 5-year-old will lay his head here, and not in Indy. Why? Because for him, I don’t want that kind of existence. You’re right, Ms. Writer, most of that “unacceptable behavior� is left at the city limits.

And that’s something I’m not tired of.

Humor

My husband is a precious soul Commentary by Danielle Wilson Husbands are adorable, aren’t they? It’s in the way they can love their families so much that anything that takes them away is cause for great suffering. Doo is a perfect example.

See, his work requires him to travel periodically for three to four nights at a time. During summer vacation, his absence is noticeable, definitely, but certainly tolerable. I’m still singleparenting four children, but I don’t have to worry about school activities, homework or making sure my kids shower. But when business trips happen during the school year, life gets dicey.

Like last week. Doo was gone Sunday through Thursday, and as cruel fate would have it, so were my in-laws. Of course, the kids had events scheduled every night. So in addition to working full days myself and doing basic mom stuff, I had to attend two meet-the-teacher events and a cross country meeting, carpool kids to and from soccer and running practices, and coordinate who would be getting my 8-yearold on and off the bus each day since her older siblings are now on the middle school schedule.

Suffice it to say, I was exhausted physically and mentally by the time Doo returned.

But here’s what’s sweet. He honest-to-goodness thinks his week was harder; that sleeping in a hotel room and having to eat alone in a restaurant is far worse than being a single par-

ent. That being responsible for only one person, himself, is more taxing than making sure four short people are clothed and fed and mostly clean 24/7. His week was miserable not because of conference calls and data reports but because he wasn’t home with us. Isn’t that precious?

Me? I could never miss my family that much.

I would literally sacrifice our cat to have four nights of uninterrupted sleep in a bed that someone else has made. I’d throw in the creepy anoles to enjoy just one quiet dinner, no dishes attached, with only a good book for company. Call me a glutton for punishment, but I’d even donate my first-born son for six hours of driving, each way, when I can stop whenever and wherever I please while listening to whatever songs I fancy.

Doo doesn’t get it, as I suspect few men do, and, consequently, is unable to validate my anxiety, exhaustion and jealousy while he’s away.

I just come off as a selfish woman who can’t appreciate her husband’s sacrifices. In reality, though, I simply long for a break from routine, and if that means sampling faux-crab salad at Bennigan’s with Nora Roberts’ latest, so be it.

I’ll leave the adorable bit to Doo. Peace out.

A solution, but where’s the problem?

Commentary by Mike Redmond I’m sure we’ve all seen the commercial: A guy stands at his grill while the tag of his underwear makes all kinds of snarky remarks until Michael Jordan comes along and saves the day by ripping out the tag and throwing it into the fire.

And perhaps you’ve had the same question as me, namely: When did tags on your underpants turn into such a big deal? Also, when did they start talking?

Actually, I’ve been wondering about this for a couple of years now, ever since I started seeing men’s unmentionables in the stores with big, bold declarations of taglessness on the outside of the package.

Between that and the commercials, you’d think tagless underwear was an innovation to rival Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone, Thomas Edison’s light bulb and Samuel F.B. Morse’s electric telegraph. Why, I can hear the speech even now: “Today we learn of an amazing development, destined to change the course of history, proof yet again that there’s no match for American ingenuity, no obstacle that cannot be overcome with good old Yankee grit: underwear with no tag in it. Just think of it. Decades of underwear tags rendered obsolete with one stupendous achievement. All across this great land men and women are cheering. Bonfires are blazing, www.currentincarmel.com

church bells are ringing. Babies are being tossed into the air and in the majority of cases, caught.

We shed a tear of joy as we stand proudly to declare our undying appreciation for this glorious news. American tagless underwear manufacturers, a grateful nation thanks you.”

Looks to me like what’s being manufactured here is a big load of what we used to shovel out of the barn.

I, for one, have heard no clamor for tagless underwear. Not that I spend a lot of time listening for people to mention it. Let’s just say it has never come up in my social circle. And as an experienced underwear wearer (underwearer?), I can also tell you that not once have I ever thought to myself, “Boy, I wish my underpants were tagless.”

My boxer briefs have never made snarky comments about my ability to cook on a grill.

For that matter, I can’t recall a time when my underwear tags made any kind of comment to me. And if they did, I don’t think I’d be calling a basketball player for help. Not while there are psychiatrists on the planet.

A guide to the local fall festival season

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Fall means one thing in Indiana: festival season. Indianapolis’ north side is in no short supply of its own. During the next two months, five events will celebrate the changing of the seasons, each in its own way:

Oktoberfest @ Saxony – Fishers Fishers Oktoberfest is a large, day-long event running from noon until 10 p.m. on Sept. 22. The focus of the event, like most Oktoberfest celebrations, is undoubtedly the local food and beer. According to Fishers Freedom Festival Executive Director Jennifer Kehl, the event is expected to see as many as 3,000 attendees over the course of the day.

Oktoberfest celebrations are typically thought of as adult events due to their focus on beer, but this year’s Fishers Oktoberfest is hoping to create a more family-friendly experience with a number of free games for children and parents from noon to 6 p.m., as well as a focus on local arts and craft vendors.

Grand Junction Funktion – Westfield What originally began as a homemade derby car race between local business owners and school organizations has grown into a full-fledged fall festival. From 2-8 p.m. on Sept. 29, South Union Street in Westfield will be transformed into a gravity-powered race track surrounded by live music and food.

Last year’s event saw a number of unique derby car designs: a Batmobile created by Westfield High School seniors, a three-wheeled recycle bin created by Westfield Public Works and even a blue-and-white Westfield police cruiser complete with flashing lights.

39th Annual Pumpkin Harvest Festival – Noblesville While most festivals last only for a weekend, Stonycreek Farm’s Pumpkin Harvest Festival begins Sept. 29 and runs through Halloween. Activities include everything from grinding your own wheat to a kid-friendly haunted house, and even a “cob cannon” capable of firing ears of corn.

To commemorate the festival’s 40th anniversary, any person turning 40 during the months of September and October is invited to ride the farm’s zip line for free.

15th Annual Carmel International Arts Festival – Carmel

13th Annual Potter’s Bridge Fall Festival – Noblesville Centered on Hamilton County’s only remaining historic covered bridge, the Potter’s Bridge Fall Festival features local arts and crafts, live music and food. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 6. It’s a great opportunity to get a bite to eat and stroll Noblesville’s scenic Potter’s Bridge Park.

For a full listing of dates, locations, activities and entertainment for all of the upcoming fall festivals, please see the Festival Calendar on the adjacent page.

Wait out menopause for tummy tuck?

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley Q: I am currently going through menopause and am considering a tummy tuck. I am on hormone replacements. I am having a lot of difficulty losing the belly weight.

Should I wait until menopause is over?

A: Going through menopause is not a contraindication to tummy tuck surgery. It in no way affects how the surgery is done, the success of the procedure or your recovery. Its only relevance is how you feel and whether you feel good enough to go through a tummy tuck surgery with the physical and mental challenges that menopause unfairly inflicts on women. As for what happens after a lipo-abdominoplasty procedure (combined tummy tuck and waistline liposuction), there is a common misconception that fat re-accumulates elsewhere, known as the fat homeostasis theory. Recent studies have Fool yourself – Sneaky tips, not big fixes, can often be very effective when it comes to weight loss. For example, using a salad plate for your dinner entree instead of a larger one can help you to eat less without even knowing it. And next time you go out, try ordering an appetizer for your meal. Calorically speaking, the main course at a restaurant is usually much larger than an appropriate portion size. www.realbeauty.com Girl problems – It is no secret that high heels are painful, but what many do not know is that wearing them excessively can lead to everything from ankle sprains to chronic pain. Lower varieties with chunkier heels offer more support, but if you simply cannot give up your stilettos, consider orthotic inserts. - www. webmd.com

shown that this is not the case and the result can be very stable if your weight does not significantly increase.

Fill ‘er up – A study of 490,000 people found those who drank four cups of coffee daily were 15 percent less likely to develop bowel or rectal cancer, and those who drank six cups reduced their risk by 24 percent. The researchers at the U.S. National Cancer Research Institute asked participants about their diets and lifestyles a decade ago. - www. telegraph.co.uk

Sweet tooth – When examining your options in the ice cream aisle, be wary of cartons marked as "light."

While lighter ice cream has at least 50 percent less fat or 33 percent fewer calories than its regular counterparts, it is not automatically healthier. Compare labels to choose the lowest fat variety, and slowly consume just one half cup for maximum enjoyment. - www.webmd. com

Not too late – Have a late-summer sunburn after squeezing in a few last pool days? Try these home remedies: Add a few tablespoons of baking soda or oatmeal to a bath, which will soothe skin.

Don’t make me wait Commentary by David Cain

I received a lengthy e-mail with a subject line that read something like, “a question.” The e-mail was multiple paragraphs long and each paragraph started with a sentence that required no action. I surveyed the e-mail, as I do with all incoming messages, and decided to archive it – no immediate action needed.

Turns out, the e-mail actually included a question that did require immediate action. The question was: “Do you want to grab a drink today?” I missed the request completely as it was buried in the message. You had to work to find the question or call-to-action. The work was reading all the other parts and sifting through the clutter to find out what I was supposed to do.

Messages get ignored when they aren’t clear and concise, and when they don’t quickly get to the point. All good messages get to the point quickly and then continue to reinforce the point. Like a great presentation, it starts with the main points or objectives. You then move to

a discussion of each main point and finally you conclude with a summary of the main points again. Introduce. Discuss. Reinforce.

What if the subject line had included the request, and the opening line had been, “Do you want to get a drink today?” In that case, it wouldn’t have been missed and I would have known exactly what to do.

How we communicate hasn’t changed. If you want someone to do something, get to the point quickly and make it about them. My friend’s call-to-action needed to be more obvious and the discussion should be about me. It’s the notso-secret secret of getting people to do what you want. Just ask my kids; they always make the call-to-action obvious and they repeat, repeat and repeat.

Time to make a change in your skin?

Umbrella policies help plan for the worst Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Desmond H. of Fishers: All this crazy weather and the commercials asking people if they’re covered for a certain situation has got me thinking: How do I prepare for the worst?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Those commercials have lot of people thinking. Insurance prices have stopped dropping, and now is the time to lock in a great rate with the best coverage available. I always recommend meeting with your independent insurance agent to make sure you’re completely protected.

The big thing I want to touch on from your question is preparing for the worst. Adding an umbrella policy (also known as a catastrophe policy) is easily the best way to get on track with that goal. An umbrella policy is really all about having the peace of mind to know that your family and assets are protected.

There are many ways to end up with an umbrella claim, but the most common umbrella claim is an auto accident involving multiple injuries and very costly medical bills. The other common claim is an incident on your property that results in injury. Medical and legal costs can eat up the underlying limits of your homeowners, auto, boat or motorcycle policy pretty quickly. Your umbrella policy or your personal assets cover these costs when your normal policy limits are exhausted.

Your independent insurance agent will be

able to help you settle on a level of coverage that you are comfortable with. Most people should be pretty comfortable with an umbrella limit of $1 million, but limits exceeding $10 million are available if you are looking for superior protection.

I don’t want to say that umbrella claims are unpreventable, but they are the type of claims that happen no matter how prepared you are.

There are some things that make a claim more likely, such as having a pool, living on a lake, having a young driver, or owning a boat/ATV/ snow mobile (basically anything fun). Let’s go through a claim scenario to show you how an umbrella works: Scenario #1: The insured’s son was driving his car on a short road trip with a friend, the claimant.

The car drifted off the road and into a phone pole when the son fell asleep at the wheel. The passenger was hospitalized for over a month with broken bones and internal injuries. The hospitalization was followed by some time in a wheelchair, but he was able to walk again after six months of physical therapy. This claim cost $800,000 with $300,000 coming from the auto limits and $500,000 coming from the umbrella limits.

DOUGH Now Open Vardagen brings global business to Hamilton County

FACTORY DIRECT PRICES EVERYDAY!

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Before opening a shop on 116th Street in downtown Fishers last month, Vardagen sold its clothing in 45 different countries.

According to owner Jared Ingold, the new shop has sold its brand of “ugly Christmas sweater t-shirts” in 45 different countries around the world.

Items from the store were featured on the Urban Outfitters Ingold blog, and one shirt was worn on a national Starbucks commercial.

“I think it’s a great alternative to shopping around here,” Ingold said. “I think you get kind of a lot of value that it’s local people doing stuff.

It’s people right here in the community. I think that makes a big difference in our processes and our style.”

Ingold runs the business, as well as a related company called The Art Press, based out of downtown Indianapolis.

The Art Press screen prints shirts to order utilizing environmentally-friendly inks. Fishers residents can order custom shirts through the Vardagen location and pick them up at the same place, as opposed to heading to The Art Press’s downtown Indy location.

“Everything is designed here,” Ingold said.

“From design all the way through print, it’s all done by local artists.

30 Years Local Owners

Licensed • Bonded • Insured TOTAL INTERIOR/EXTERIOR RENOVATION • FREE EXTERIOR ROOF INSPECTIONS In addition to selling Vardagen brand clothing, which Ingold said is the creative arm of The Art Press, the store sells clothing made by the United State of Indiana and People for Urban Progress.

Clothing and accessories from the latter are made from materials leftover from the RCA Dome and Super Bowl that were landfill-bound, Ingold said.

The business started sort of as a hobby in 2006, took a serious turn in 2008 and most recently, besides the opening of the new Vardagen store, had a pop-up store in Fountain Square, a historical district on the south side of downtown Indianapolis, during the Super Bowl.

Ingold said the company always liked the area and buildings in downtown Fishers.

Ingold describes Vardagen as big-city style store.

He said, “There’s just not many single-brand stores around.”

Spirituality

Growing up in our faith Commentary by Bob Walters A Sunday school crowded with children is a sure sign of a healthy church.

If the kids are there, their parents are there.

And if the whole family is there, the experience of Jesus goes home where Christian faith can blossom as Christian family life to be shared with relatives, neighbors and friends.

That’s the rosy scenario, I realize. Too often, much of the Jesus experience is lost on the ride home from church. But seeing children in church is nonetheless encouraging. There are plenty of places in the Bible – Matthew, Mark and Luke – where Jesus tells us that it is the children who are “the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.” Children are a big deal to Jesus.

But skip ahead to the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13, where in his dissertation on divine love it is clear one must “put away childish things” if one is to truly mature as a Christian.

The Bible clearly tells us to both “be as a child” and to “put away childish things.” We are to go from spiritual “milk” as a child to spiritual “meat” as we mature. On the one hand, we are to be as innocent as doves; on the other, as shrewd as snakes (Matthew 10:16). What gives?

Are we supposed to grow up, or not?

We most definitely are. The question is: Do we?

Huntington University church history professor Tom Bergler surveys what he considers to be the arrested development of our modern Ameri-

A Place to Belong A Place to Become

can faith in his thoughtful new book, “The Juvenalization of American Christianity.” It’s a scholarly piece of sociology, not a Bible study.

Bergler (BERJ-ler) tracks the last century or so of American Christianity and observes that we are largely stuck in an “adolescent faith.”

Adolescent faith is when Christians put “selfdevelopment, my problems and my needs” as the center of Christian faith. Bergler notes that a mature Christian sees his or her faith as a way to partner in the mission of the kingdom: evangelizing and serving others. It means understanding that “maturity” doesn’t mean “perfect,” it means loving God, loving others, being faithful and seeking first to glorify God. Bergler tracks the development of youth ministries from the 1920s through the Depression, World War II, the Cold War and the turbulent 1960s. In Protestant, Catholic, and black churches, youth ministers met teenagers where they were – and they were adolescents. Hence, the focus became the emotional “me” side of faith and not on a deep commitment to God. That often carries into today’s adult church.

Bergler’s point? All God’s children should have a chance to grow up.

Buckle up your pup Commentary by John Mikesell The dangers of driving with your dog unrestrained are numerous and hardly hypothetical.

In the United States alone, thousands of deaths of dogs, drivers and passengers are attributed to unrestrained dogs each year, in addition to what must be an unimaginable number of accidents with injuries and fender benders Even a low-speed crash may turn an unrestrained dog into a missile, possibly ejecting the animal out through the windshield or side window or injuring passenger or driver, resulting in further loss of control of the vehicle. The Automobile Association of America estimates that a 10-pound dog will exert approximately 500 pounds of pressure in a 50 mile per hour crash, and an 80 pound dog 2,400 pounds in a crash at 30 miles per hour.

If a dog survives the impact, he will likely be injured and frightened, and flee the scene, risking being struck by another vehicle or becoming lost. A small dog on the lap of the driver in a crash is at risk of being crushed between the air bag and the driver.

According to AAA, more than 30,000 accidents a year are caused by dogs riding in the front seat of a vehicle. As surprising

as this number is, it is only dog owners insured by AAA. dBuy a well-fitted harness/car safety belt product and use it every time your dog is in the car. Or put your dog in a well secured crate in the car.

No small dogs on your lap while you drive. No exceptions!

Make sure your dog always has ID tags with your current contact information on them. It’s best if there is more than one contact person/ number on the tag I will admit, that I do not always buckle Karma into a seat belt.

I do however always leave her leash on when she is in the car. I have a hammock that fits between the front and back seat which keeps her from being thrown to the front seat. I always leave the leash on in case of an accident, so she wouldn’t be able to run away as easily. When Karma is in the car with me, I drive much slower and more carefully than when she is not.

Bath time – For many pet owners, bathing the family dog has become more a hassle than a time to bond with Fido. In order to speed the process and ensure the best job done, try having treats handy to reward cooperation, and pick a convenient location ahead of time. Also, brush out his fur before wetting him to remove any troublesome tangles. - www.goodhousekeeping.com Quiet down – Training your puppy can be difficult, and the amount of barking that one can endure reaches a limit very quickly. To minimize barking, try to socialize your pup as much as possible by taking him to dog parks and allowing him to play with the other dogs. If the barking persists, taking him to a pet behavioral therapist to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem.

- www.goodhousekeeping.com Leading the blind – A surprisingly large amount of people live with pets that have disabilities, not the least of which is blindness. Whether from old age or a birth defect, blind dogs deserve to be loved and cared for just as much as their seeing counterparts. To help your blind pup lead a comfortable and happy life, try not to move the furniture in your house around often, and remember to cushion sharp edges of tables and chairs. - www.pawnation.com

Pottery Barn knock-off hanging ghosts Commentary by Ashley Phipps I have a confession to make; please don’t judge. I love Pottery Barn, I really do – but I don’t always love the price. So when I saw their Halloween line of décor last year, I realized that I could easily make their hanging ghosts at a fraction of the cost!

So I set about creating my own version of PB’s hanging ghosts. And you can do the same, simply, inexpensively and quickly!

You will need: • Styrofoam balls (8”, 6”, 4”) • Black craft paint • Small paint brush • Cheese cloth (I used about 2 yards per ghost, in 1 yard squares, for a total of 6 yards) • Eye screws (3) • E6000, wood or other similar glue First, you will want to insert your eye screws into the top of each Styrofoam ball using your glue. Let this dry completely. If you’re a little bit crazy like me, you will want to paint these white so that they blend in with the ghost.

Next, use your black craft paint to paint ghost eyes on each Styrofoam ball. Let dry completely.

Take (2) 1-yard squares and place them over top each Styrofoam ball.

Using scissors, cut “rips” in the cheesecloth.

Take each shred in your hand and stretch is down.

This will create a tattered look in the cheesecloth.

Repeat with the other two Styrofoam balls and hang!

The originals retail for about $59 and my knockoff ones cost less than $15 for all three!!

Pretty cute, huh? I love my new hanging ghosts!

And I am so happy to finally have some more cute outdoor Halloween decor!

So if you come trick or treating this year, you will be sure to meet my new little ghost friends!

Happy crafting!

Parenting

The college launch – no permanent damage!

Commentary by Julie Osborne I wanted them to be memorable and eloquently inspiring, those last words that would be imprinted in his mind forever as I left him in his new college home. Through a gush of tears they poured out without warning: “No permanent damage!” Then, as if flood gates opened for the final time, the spewing continued: “No unexpected trips to the hospital. No time in jail.

No babies and absolutely no tattoos!”

Profound? No. Desperate? Maybe. True to the core? Yes. But, certainly not eloquent nor inspiring, just plain raw footage. Those were my last words of wisdom to my 18-year-old son heading off to a new chapter in Boston.

When I reflect on this advice I cringe thinking how it could have been much better. I remember my neighbor, Mark, who stopped by before we left with what now seems like perfect collegiate-bound advice.

“Keep your wallet in your front pocket,” Mark said. “Don’t set your drink down at a party or someone may put something in it, and don’t step off the curb. They’ll run you over!”

Now, that’s wisdom. Mark knew. He spoke clearly and confidently with experience to back it up. Mark was from New York. My son needed this advice. Book smarts he possessed; street smarts were yet to be acquired.

Nate grew up in sheltered Carmel where drivers become politely paralyzed at the remaining four-way stops, trying to outdo one another with kind waving and waiting. This would not happen on the East Coast. Nate would get plowed down, robbed or lost somewhere in this new big city. He needed wisdom that could not be found in a book.

But, as I pulled away, a peaceful assurance came over me and my tears turned to a smile as his response lingered with me.

“OK, Mom, I promise,” he said. “I won’t bring a baby with a tattoo home for Thanksgiving!”

Yes, it’s time for him to fly.

Grammar Guy

Grammar in print I’ve written weekly columns on and off since I was 17 (which is almost eight years), and I’ve never received a response like the one my first two grammar pieces have received.

I’d be flattered if I thought it was because my writing is any good. Rather, I’m pretty sure it’s evidence of what I’ve suspected for years: There are far more closeted English nerds out there than people realize. Most of us blend in fairly well – until someone mentions the Oxford Comma, that is. Then the battle lines are drawn.

As I go through your letters and work on answers to your grammatical pet peeves, I thought I’d share a few of my own. Some of these are from the Internet. Some of them pop up regularly as I go about my copy editing duties. All of them irk me.

Afterward, upward and toward – This rule can be a bit tricky, I’ll admit. These words all indicate directionality in time or space. The majority, save for “afterward,” can be used as both an adjective and a verb. In the adverbial form, though, they gain an “s” at the end: afterwards, upwards and towards (and onward, backwards, downwards, etc.). Since it’s football season now, let’s grab a pigskin for our example. In the adjectival form, “upward” modifies the noun: The quarterback threw the ball in an upward spiral.

In the adverbial form, “upwards” will modify the verb: The punter kicked the ball upwards.

Spaces after periods – I realize this column won’t settle the debate, but, really, you only need to put one space after a period. It’s a typographic convention that fell out of favor with U.S. publishers in the 1940s, and which has been made utterly obsolete by digital word processing. Additionally, HTML, the language the majority of the Internet is coded in, will automatically remove a double space, so you don’t be seeing it online. I know that people were taught to double-space in typing class and for some it has become a venerated tradition.

More than and over – I suppose I should start this off by saying that, technically, according to people who didn’t ask me, “more than” and “over” are perfectly interchangeable. But they shouldn’t be, darn it. “More than” indicates an amount, whereas “over” indicates direction or positioning. You wouldn’t say, “The cow jumped more than the moon,” now would you?

Simon and Garfunkel wouldn’t have been nearly as popular with “Bridge More Than Troubled Water.” If you are over something, you are on a higher elevation. If you have more than something, you have a greater quantity. Period.

SAY YES TO...

Soaking: Your body temperature naturally lowers while sleeping, so the rapid cooling you experience climbing out of a steamy tub can bring on the sleepiness.

Sweating: End your workout at least two hours before you want to turn in. Exercising too close to your bedtime raises your core body temperature just when you should be cooling down.

Fluffing: A pillow too large or small can tweak spinal alignment, causing pain that disrupts sleep. If you're a side sleeper, choose a pillow that has a height equal to the distance between the base of your neck and the top of your shoulder. Back sleeper? Opt for one that lifts the head in line with the spine. Stomach sleepers: You're overtwisting your neck and back. Train yourself to move onto your sidebend one knee to the side and wedge a pillow underneath it.

FOR THE

FALL TRANSITION

GIVE THESE A PASS...

Twitter: The glow from your laptop has an alerting affect which can postpone the release of hormones that induce sleep. Power down an hour or two before you climb into bed.

Oversleeping: Hitting snooze on your days off confuses your body clock, so you'll be drowsier come Monday. Wake up within an hour of the same time, every day.

Cocoa: We love the stuff, but it contains caffeine, and if you're sensitive to the upper, having it after noon can keep you up at night, so avoid cocoa, coffee and soft drinks in the afternoon.

We're excited to slip on a pair of matchstick pants to pair with our fresh crop of sweaters, silky boyfriend tops, and blazers.

Cut close to the body and cropped right at the ankle, matchstick pants are universally flattering and add a slightly more formal touch to your everyday look. Designers like Jason Wu, Etro, and Isabel Marant showed a wide array of saturated colors and textured fabrics that are sure to add an unexpected element of sleek splendor to any Fall look. Style them with suede ankle boots or a pair of pointed-toe pumps for a cool spin on Fall dressing.

IntroducingThe All-New 2013

LEXUS ES SErIES Starts conversations. And then leaves you speechless.

Plant this fall for next spring Landscaping by Randy Sorrell It’s no longer a secret that fall is the favored time to plant most trees, shrubs and perennials.

Perhaps the most compelling incentive behind fall installation is looking ahead to next summer. Recall how brutal recent summers’ intense heat and drought have been? There will likely be repeat performances, and your plants are considerably better equipped to handle those tortuous conditions when planted now instead of next spring!

WHY? Soil conditions are very happy in the fall with cooler temperatures and more predictable moisture levels. Fresh root systems thrive in this environment and send out lots of new shoots to quickly establish themselves. That’s actually their fall habit, pushing out root growth to get established for the anticipated harsh winter conditions. In the spring and summer, energies are spent producing lush foliage, bright flowers and showy berries for birds to nibble on. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Also, there are fewer pests and diseases in the fall to attack your favorite flowering buddy.

TRANSPLANTS & SPLITTING Fall is also the ideal time to transplant shrubs to another location where they may perform better. How’s your full-sun hydrangea looking? Mine are spent, and I plan on moving a few to a place with a little afternoon shade to minimize watering. Scorched holly with a southern or western exposure would appreciate the same favor.

Splitting perennials is a great idea, too. Are

your lilies, coneflower and black-eyed Susans looking a little tired and not ambitiously reblooming like they should? Hosta a little bloated? They probably need split. Splitting controls growth, maximizes blooming and stimulates a fresh appearance next year. Ornamental grasses send their own “time to split” signal when they develop a donut hole in the grassy middle.

Watch as spring landscape excitement gradually transfers to fall frenzy in the future.

Tiles to the ceiling Remodeling by Dave Decker

Choosing tile for your home once meant picking from among a handful of neutral-toned ceramic squares from a rack of options in a somewhat overwhelming and impersonal warehouse. The experience alone could be daunting and somewhat stressful for even the experienced home improvement consumer, as the choices are endless. Nowadays, not only are showrooms becoming more boutiquelike and intimate, the most successful ones also offer design services to narrow down your wish list and pinpoint a style and look that is timeless.

So where to begin? Amid all the possibilities out there, the biggest challenge might be choosing something you’ll continue to love for a decade or more.

Porcelain tile is now made to look realistically like everything from aged wood and rough fieldstones to sleek Italian marble. Tiles made of glass, cork, mirror and even leather are taking the place of traditional ceramics. In all shapes and sizes, they are being used not just in kitchens and baths, but also gracing entryways, mudrooms and more.

Trends are shifting toward using tile all the way up to the ceiling, rather than the more oldfashioned approach of doing partial-tile walls with a snub-nosed edge. Full-tile walls make the whole room more cohesive, and can also give the illusion the room is larger than it is. Also consider getting creative with grout. Simple

32 | September 11, 2012

white subway tiles are a classic choice that can either be installed with thin, barely visible lines or thick lines in bold and darker “shades of grey” that can bring excitement to even the simplest kitchen design. No three-part book series required!

Once you have decided on a look and feel that suits the existing style of your home, and is also one that you find brings you happiness every time you walk into the room, the next step is finding a qualified professional to help pull it all together.

Although it is possible to do the removal and installation on your own, the dangers of demolition and tile cutting can be an issue, and even the highest quality tile will look unattractive if it’s been installed incorrectly. At the end of the day, there are ways to save on materials, fixtures and the like, but one place to splurge is to hire a reputable and responsible installation team.

This ensures a beautiful and safe result for years to come.
