Carmel teen on Nickelodeon game show

By Mary Allgier • editorial@youarecurrent.com When Carmel teen Jack Denger was eight, his parents took him to see Cirque du Soleil in Orlando.

Then his mom bought him a juggling kit for Christmas, and Jack got bored one day.

Doesn’t sound like much, but two years later Jack was off to his first juggling competition and his talent recently got him featured on the Nickelodeon game show Figure it Out. “I hadn’t heard of the show, but I was really excited,” the now 15-year-old Denger said. “It was something new for me.”

The episode featuring Jack aired Oct. 19. Denger was introduced to a panel of Nick actors who had to guess his hobby based on a few clues.

Denger stumped the actors, including cast members of hit show Victorious, and won a free trip for his family to New York.

“I got to show my talent to the audience,” Denger said, “They liked seeing it and I enjoyed doing it.”

Denger was recommended for the show last summer and went to Los Angeles for taping.

“We flew out (to L.A.) on a Thursday and spent all day Friday at Paramount and then left early Saturday morning… but it was really neat,” said Jack’s mom, Margot Denger.

According to Jack, filming was hectic.

“There were a lot of crew running around with cameras. People working with the lights, the cameras,” he said.

Figure it Out looks for kids between the ages of 10 to 15 to feature on the show.

Someone with a connection from the show was at a juggling competition last summer, where Denger placed second.

Jack placed first in a juggling show when he was ten, however, and loves the relaxed atmosphere of the events.

“Shop for Show Tickets” at Carmel City Center – Don’t miss your chance to “Shop for Show Tickets!” Until Nov. 2, shop at Carmel City Center retailers for free tickets to The Actors Theatre of Indiana’s production of the smash hit musical revue, “Route 66.” Customers of these participating stores that spend $100 or more will receive two vouchers for every $100 spent in store until Nov. 2. Limit four vouchers per customer. Each voucher is good for one ticket. Vouchers are subject to availability and recipients must redeem by calling the ticket office to schedule the desired time/date.

Voucher is non-transferrable.

“A lot of the competitors know each other so everyone is pretty much friends there. So it’s not like a competition,” Jack said.

Competitors are graded on things such as the difficulty of the moves, or if they drop anything.

“The one I won when I was ten was my first one and everyone was really nice,” Denger said.

Jack and his family plan to take their trip to New York over Spring Break this year, but Nickelodeon allows them a year to take the trip before it expires.

CFD helps free trapped worker – A worker from Bedell Plumbing in Greenfield was briefly trapped on Oct. 15 when a trench he was digging for a new sewer line at 11908 Rollingsprings Dr. collapsed. The man was trapped from about his waist down, and the Carmel Fire Dept., with assistance from neighboring authorities, eventually freed the worker. He was taken to a local hospital by Stat-flight air rescue, and was conscious and alert as he was taken from the scene. (Submitted photo)

Volunteerism Concerned about volunteers

COMMUNITY

Commentary by Jeff Worrell

In this column every week, I have the honor and privilege of recognizing valuable volunteers and their dedicated service to our community.

However, I must admit, I am deeply concerned about the chilling effect recent developments might have on our beloved volunteer corp as highly qualified individuals decide if community service is actually worth it. When elected members of our City Council launch personal attacks on individuals serving Carmel and intensify the intended damage by dragging the employee’s employer into the mud as well, someone must say enough is enough. In their zeal to prove a point or disagree with decisions already made, a line protecting personal integrity must not be crossed. By any standard, this unacceptable behavior should not be allowed to continue and we are obligated to speak out vigorously against it.

Politics can be a dirty game and those who seek public office ought to be aware of that fact.

But, I argue, unpaid and unelected men and women giving countless hours of their spare time to serve on the 20 plus Boards and Commissions, would not expect their own public, elected officials to launch personal attacks questioning their intelligence, integrity or motivation.

Not too long ago the volunteer Park Board came under fire from some on the City Council who were questioning the Board Member’s abil-

ity to lead the Monon Center to financial viability. And although the premature judgment of those City Councilors was improperly vetted in the media, the Board stuck to its plan and our Monon Center is now a model for other communities throughout the United States to follow. During and after this needless exercise, it seemed apparent that the only reason certain Council members posed these questions was to stir political controversy.

The pattern we are seeing as exemplified in the current controversy regarding the CRC is what is most disturbing. I would agree that public discussion of varied opinions results in a better community. However, we need to put an end to the direct personal attacks maligning the integrity of our trusted volunteers. These highly successful professionals who serve on our boards and commissions bring a wealth of knowledge with them as they seek the best path forward for our community. They live here, pay taxes and want what is best for their families just like anyone else.

From the Editor's desk

Busy editor seeks like-minded helper Commentary by Derek Fisher

This column has a lede that will probably have a lot of you scratching your heads, wondering exactly where what I’m saying might go.

Trust me on this: Stick it out. I promise, I eventually will tie it all together.

My dad drove race cars when I was a kid.

Most nights, mom and I were in the stands watching intently. You know who else was in the stands alongside us? Joe Race Fan. Joe Race Fan was an expert, despite never turning a wrench or pulling on a helmet. Joe Race Fan knew it all. Joe Race Fan, it seemed, could do it better than the doofuses he’d just paid $10 to watch compete.

Life can mimic Joe Race Fan’s behavior, in many instances. Think about it: Haven’t you watched someone trying to complete a task, be it waiting a table or rearing a child, and thought, What are they thinking? I could do it so much better?

Perhaps it is human nature to comment on and criticize others’ actions, even if we have no experience at the matter at hand.

Here’s where we connect this column’s dots.

The newspaper business is a lot like the examples I just illustrated. Current is widely read – we’re in 104,826 households – and thus, we get a lot of feedback. A lot of you have salient points and are far enough removed from our

day-to-day routine that you can actually see the forest we occasionally lose for the trees.

A lot of you, it seems, think you probably can do what we do – and in many cases you would be correct. Here’s your chance to do just that, Carmel.

In short, I need help. This city has more stories than my writers and I can possibly cover.

Our plates are full. I need two more feet on the street. I need a general assignment reporter to work this city.

The ideal person has some time throughout his or her day to make phone calls and occasionally sit down with folks. The ideal person knows how to ask questions – the right ones. The ideal person can string a sentence or two together, write to a word count and get things turned in on time.

The ideal person will enjoy this gig immensely. Are you that person? Given what I’ve read in past letters to the editor, you’ll be one of many potential candidates.

I hope I find you. This is your chance to turn a wrench and pull on the helmet. E-mail me so we can begin discussions.

Opinion

No room for negativity Commentary by Sue Finkam Deflated.

That’s a good description for how I believe many in this community feel. Deflated seeing yet one more negative headline. Deflated seeing some leaders make choices that put self over service.

But don’t. Don’t let go of the pride you feel in this community just because a vocal minority consistently says negative things to get caustic headlines.

This community rises above others in many areas because of the incredible people who live here. It’s home to highly educated and successful individuals, and we excel because we consistently reach for high goals – in business, in education, in philanthropy and in service to others.

Some of us moved here because of the amazing educational opportunities offered to our kids through Carmel Clay Schools.

Some of us volunteer here in sports, scouting, service clubs and churches to ensure kids continue to have lessons that extend beyond the classroom.

Some of us were recruited here for work opportunities that chose Carmel as home in order

to get access to bright, dedicated employees.

Some of us grew up here and have watched this community with strong ties evolve into a community that offers people choices in religion, housing and cultural opportunities.

No matter how we found our way here, all of us have one thing in common: We love our community and want to see it prosper.

Now is the time to say “no more” to those who choose to defile the image of our community for the sake of politics. We need leaders who look forward, not back. We need leaders who are outcomes-focused not headlines-focused. And we need leaders who put their community, not themselves, first.

Negativity will only take us so far. Carmel will continue to progress. We will continue to lead. Be proud. Be elated.

Smashing the partisan gridlock From the “Moderate” Side by Jim Blessing

Fact: The US Congressional approval rate has fallen to historic lows ranking it below telemarketers (ugh)! Cause: Members engaging in partisan gridlock instead of working for the benefit of the American people.

How can we reduce this partisan gridlock?

Well, one thought is to vote AGAINST candidates who hold views totally in line with their party’s ideologue positions. Instead, doesn’t it make more sense to support candidates who practice bipartisanship and are NOT in total alignment with their party’s ideologies? These candidates would be more likely to compromise.

Now, let’s relate that to the Indiana Senate and 5th District Congressional race. Republican Richard Mourdock is the poster child for holding extreme ideologue views and publically decrying any attempts of bipartsanship. What about Democrat Joe Donnelly? Does he have similar ideological views from the left? No. In fact, Donnelly had the 6th highest record (30%) among congressional Democrats in opposing his party leaders. He has joined with Republicans in supporting bills such as a balanced budget amendment, the Keystone Oil Pipeline and putting tariffs on Chinese goods. These are not characteristics of an extreme leftwing Democrat.

This is a legislator who tries to work across the aisle in deriving solutions to problems.

Democratic Congressional candidate Scott Reske has won bipartisan awards in the statehouse for working on both sides of the aisle. He also supports a balanced budget amendment and keeping all of the Bush tax cuts while the economy is still struggling. These are traits that would easily allow Reske to work across the aisle to support shared solutions. I have found it difficult to pin down the positions of Republican Susan Brooks. Her webpage discusses few specifics, all which are standard Republican ideologies. There is no evidence that Brooks would deviate from the “approved” Republican positions as dictated by Congressional House leaders. In fact, Brooks is so “silent” on her positions that it’s no surprise she has strived to avoid debating her opponents.

Let’s vote for candidates who have political courage and the will to reach across the aisle and not just follow their party’s ideologies.

Carmel chef, Josh Farmer, finds winning recipe in the fight of his life

The liver biopsies eventually ended up helping his doctors do just that, and by mid-June Farmer had begun chemotherapy – “There is no way to describe what your body feels like after chemo; it’s awful but awful is not a good enough word,” he says. All the while, his wife and his employer kept a vigilant watch.

Josh Farmer had made a lot of stops in his young life before this summer. He’d left Indiana for stints in Minneapolis, Minn. and Palm Beach, Fla.; a restaurant worker by trade, when the locales were not exotic, the foods still were. There was Italian, there was Spanish, there were the Peruvian and Asian dishes he’d seen his grandfather prepare.

All that led to the stop no one ever wants to make: The oncology ward.

Opinion On plans, facts and a serious plea

Green Halloween It is our position that the ritual of trickor-treating on Halloween night is transforming. It seems evenings of canvassing the neighborhood for hours with the goal of filling pillowcases full of candy treasures is slowly coming to an end. These days, the First Lady’s Healthy Food Initiative coupled with a growing number of children with food allergies has jump-started a new healthy Halloween ritual known as Green Halloween. Organic agave sticks, dried veggie chips, grass chocolate and herbal tea bags are taking favor over milk chocolate, taffy, lollipops, and pixie sticks in the candy dishes of those who are concerned about healthy eating habits.

Once upon a time, the “toothbrush” house risked being the target of an old-fashioned toilet-papering or egg throwing. Now, the carrot house is considered the “cool” house. Somehow the vision of children spreading out their stashes of green goodies to trade a temporary tattoo for a granola bar doesn’t quite compare to the throw-back image of sugar-buzzed kids trading twenty pieces of bite-sized candy for a full-sized chocolate bar.

Whether the Green Halloween trend is a trick or a treat, one thing we can all agree on is the safety of our youngsters on Halloween night.

Terminal patience

Commentary by Terry Anker

Indianapolis needs its own airline. Certainly, the new airport is beautiful. It makes the travel experience better in almost every way.

But could we have spent the billion or so dollars needed to construct the new edifice to buy our own carrier replete with an abundance of direct flights? On a day when I didn’t need to leave the house before 4:30 a.m. to make an astonishingly early first leg of a flight to Boston, I might be more reasonable in my assessment of our local travel options. Certainly, those who are dedicated to such matters work hard to give us as much choice as possible and make Indy an attractive alternative to airlines both major and minor. Yet sitting in a filthy and over-used hub waiting for yet again another connection, one is justified in expressing frustration. With each point on the map, the chance of lost luggage, missed connection and weather delay increases. But, we can take stock that our mileage reward miles rack-up faster when our flight home from DC stops

off in Cleveland.

I might appreciate the found time to work on a column, clean-up e-mail or explore the newsstand; but in a crowded and odiferous terminal, one’s mind wanders. It might be noted that in the dizzying array of magazines for sale, two tout covers featuring the Obamas with none of the Romneys (incidentally, USA Today’s online version’s headline page uses the name 11 times versus two for his challenger).

It becomes apparent that food knows few boundaries regarding whether pizza, popcorn or Italian beef sandwiches are a good choice at 6 a.m. But mostly, I note the long lines of folks already in transit awaiting attention from the beleaguered barista. I am holding out for lobster in the Boston hub – if I ever get there!

"Pop music is the mass medium for conditioning the way people think" - Graham Nash

Current in Carmel

We caught up with one of our friends, one among the ink-stained set, from New York. He had, to us, an interesting take that you and we probably never will see in the liberal, mainstream media. Listen up: “President Barack Obama said (last Tuesday night) that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's five-point plan really is a ‘one-point plan,’ and that Romney's economic plan was ‘a sketchy deal’ that Americans should reject. That was actually quite brilliant of the president, because this is what people do: go on the attack, when they have no freaking plan themselves. The next time I hear about Obama's agenda for the next four years will be the first time. Criticize Romney's plan all you want, but at least he has a plan. It's very clear now that the president simply is hoping to ride the wave of loyal liberals, and his charisma, into an election victory Nov. 6 with no clear plan whatsoever.”

Some will dismiss this as a far-right rant. What’s your call? Tell us at info@youarecurrent.com. …

We believe the curtains will come down on the respective campaigns just as they should not – and that’s with each candidate blatantly pandering to groups he covets. We’re begging for pure facts and detail here, and we don’t believe we’re getting that from these candidates. … Let us state it once more with feeling: We need a serious, independent third party in the worst way. … We find it off-putting that Sen. Richard Lugar refuses to campaign for U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, given that Lugar was enriched professionally and financially during his long and – many would say – distinguished career. With the control of the Senate so important to the Republican party, how could Lugar turn his back on the party? It just reinforces that we did the right thing in voting against him in the primary.

Trouble with toddlers

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Just as I was wondering what to write about this week, Fate snickered and sent me a 2-year old. Now I’m trying to figure out how I can possibly cram all of this toddler fodder into one column. Here’s my best shot.

When my brother-in-law and his wife had their third baby during the weekend, my husband and I offered to watch their older girls while they were at the hospital. Their kindergartner I can handle, but the shorter one, hereafter referred to as the LydieMonster (LM), apparently not so much.

Our first evening together went quite well actually. The LM was so tired from being in a strange house with strange people that she fell asleep almost immediately. And because I don’t own bottles anymore (yay!) and the LM wouldn’t drink from a cup, she was too dehydrated to wet her diaper during the night and slept straight through (double yay!). Doo and I congratulated ourselves on our clearly still well-honed parenting skills and happily sent our nieces back to their father.

That afternoon brought another babysitting request. Doo had plans to hang with another brother, so it was just me with my precious little relatives. To kill time, I got crafty and broke out the paint. Sweet mercy, two seconds, two seconds I turned my back and suddenly the LM was covered in purple and brown water color.

No worries, I told myself, it’s washable, so I

cleaned her up and sent her off while I Cloroxed the previously white counter. Moments later a crash had me sprinting to the office, where I found the LM surrounded by trash and chewing something in utter delight. Kleenex? A discarded apple core? Nope, it was gum, hopefully Orbitz but quite possibly Nicorette. Just to be sure, I watched her like a hawk for the rest of the evening and fortunately observed no unusual agitation or bowel movements.

A third visit was equally exciting. After tracking the LM down in an upstairs bathroom where she had clambered onto the sink and chugged an ounce of Soft Soap, Doo decided coloring would be a safe bet. I concurred. Non-toxic crayons, paper, what could go wrong? But when I peered into the kitchen after an unusually quiet couple of minutes, I saw the LM drooling a tar-like substance.

Huh? She had bitten the tip off a stray marker and was drinking the black ink as it spilled forth in all its Crayola glory. Lovely, just lovely.

So we did what any self-respecting aunt or uncle would do. Snapped a photo, emailed it to the trusting parents, and called it a day.

Then we thanked baby Jesus that we don’t have 2-year-olds anymore. Peace out.

Pence’s roadmap works Editor, For those of us who have lived through four years of “all hope and no real change” at the national level, it is refreshing that Mike Pence has chosen to run for governor and has a real plan for the future. All too often campaigns are organized around pithy platitudes and statements evoking some grand vision for the future. Mike Pence has a vision and he is also a pragmatist who has surrounded himself with real Hoosier thinkers and doers who have life experiences.

This will serve him well as Governor because his plan for the future is the sum of Hoosier ideas he has collected during his years as a Hoosier.

These ideas can be converted into action steps that will make Indiana a better place to live as well as a model for other states in the Midwest.

Finbloom story helped Editor, My family and I are new to Carmel this year. I have five children ages 4, 5, 11, 16 and 17. I received my first copy of your newspaper a couple days ago and read the article about Brett Finbloom. I can’t begin to understand what this family is going through, and I was heartbroken for them. My oldest child is a senior at Carmel and is on the football team and is just getting to know some of the kids here.

I had him read the article and immediately I could see something shift with him about how dangerous this can get. He said that he had heard about this through school and everyone really loved Brett. We don’t know the family, but they are in our prayers. I know this article has opened my son’s eyes and made him more aware. This lifeline law will save lives.

Emily Kingery, 46032

(Pence’s) Roadmap identifies and discusses several topics that will need to be addressed and provides Mike’s perspective on major issues facing the State and the nation. All too often political campaigns tend to be about superficial distinctions, sound bites and personal charisma; we are seeing just the opposite here. It is refreshing and impressive that Mike Pence and his team have largely pushed aside these matters and spent the time and energy to provide Hoosiers with a concrete plan to provide an informed basis for prospective voters.

It is a rare time indeed when voters are given real choices in an election and a basis upon which they can hold their elected representatives accountable.

Now if the voters will only read and think and vote accordingly. Educate yourself and vote!

Gary Kyzr-Sheeley, 46033

Romney is the choice Editor, I have followed with interest your recent coverage of the election. However, one key fact has been underemphasized in your reporting. Please remind your readers that our current President has had four years to dig us out of the economic slump, and has not done so. In fact, President Obama’s “spend now, pay later” policies have worsened the recession. Obama has brought us ever-increasing debt and sky-high unemployment.

Mitt Romney has spent his life in business.

Romney understands that the road to recovery is to unleash the spirit of American free enterprise.

Only by lowering taxes and removing unnecessary regulations can we recover the prosperity and opportunity that should be the birthright of every American.

Mitt Romney is the right choice for our nation.

ID laws are common sense Editor, This is in response to Mr. Dossey’s views on voter ID laws.

I think it is in everyone’s best interest for all states to have laws like Indiana’s voter ID laws.

President Obama is trying to suppress other states from passing this law and is suing states to stop this. Last time I checked, voting was for citizens of the United States and not just anyone living here illegally. ID protects citizens’ rights and you can easily get an ID at the Motor Vehicle Bureau.

the bank they sometimes ask for ID, too. I am not offended by this because it is in my best interest.

No one should be offended by voter ID laws.

They are there to protect us and to keep dead people and illegals (who always vote for democrats) from voting. This year when they had the recall on Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin, they had Mickey Mouse, Adolf Hitler and other such ridiculous names on the petition for the recall. If you needed to show ID, this wouldn’t happen. It is always the Left that wants to stop voter ID laws and let everyone vote.

Readers should choose Obama Editor, While you have ably covered the upcoming election, I feel you should better highlight some important context. Four years ago, America faced its greatest economic crisis in generations. Employment was plummeting, and a second Great Depression appeared possible.

Since taking office, President Obama has worked tirelessly to stabilize the economy and www.currentincarmel.com

rebuild America’s middle-class. This hasn’t always been easy, but we are moving in the right direction. We now have steady job growth, and recovery is underway.

Now Mitt Romney proposes a return to the Bush-era policies of cutting taxes for millionaires and giving freer reign to Wall Street that led us into this mess.

Humor

No one wants to see you naked Memo from: Mike Redmond

To: Various celebrities Subject: Sex tapes Dear celebrities who somehow believe you make our lives worth living even though most of you have no discernible talent, I have a request.

Would you please stop making sex tapes?

We’d all be grateful. And by “we” I mean every single American who fires up his computer, opens a newspaper or leafs through a magazine only to find that another of you has been stupid enough to record for posterity your expertise in doing the horizontal mambo.

You would think that people in your line of work, whatever that is, would have this figured out by now: There is no such thing as privacy anymore. You do something dumb and there is a 100 percent chance it is going to be out of your control in a matter of days. Once that happens, it will be on the web in a matter of minutes. Once there, it is going to be around the world in seconds.

I realize that being a celebrity involves a certain amount of attention-seeking. No, strike that. It is 100 percent attention-seeking. Now, I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, if indeed you can think, that people like me are just awful prudes. To which I say, maybe. Then again, maybe not. Personally, I believe that sex is a lot of things, most of them ranging from good

to spectacular, and I intend to try it again one of these days very soon.

No, I could care less who you are sparking with or how. What I am tired of is the inevitable Drama (capital D) that comes in the wake of a released personal video.

First comes the breathless announcement from some sleazily reliable source that such a video exists, along with links to make sure everyone goes to the right sleazily reliable website to see for themselves. This is followed by a hailstorm of condemnation that can only come after something has been viewed several million times. After that comes the celebrity statement, which can go one of two ways: defiantly playing the victim because something very personal and private has been leaked to the universe, or tearfully playing the victim because something very personal and private has been leaked to the universe.

Then the dust settles, we wait a week and it happens again with a different celebrity.

And it’s all very tiresome. So stop. Just stop.

The world has real problems and you’re just cluttering it up. Not to mention, eeuuww.

Thank you.

Doctoring my questionnaire Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Whenever I visit my doctor’s office, I have to fill out one form or another. Most of the time, the staff simply wants to confirm that my insurance hasn’t changed, which I think is just medical jargon for “Has your coverage been dropped?” Before my last appointment, they asked me about my medications and about any side effects I am experiencing. I never have any side effects, but I usually write down headaches, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, decreased libido and heightened impulsivity. That way they’ll think I’m really taking all my pills.

Here is another question I had to answer: What is your nickname? I’d never been asked about this before and I really don’t have a nickname, but they hate it when you leave a blank space so I wrote down “Sparky.” I knew if somehow that ended up on my vial of blood, it would cause a lot of chatter at the lipid lab.

Next, the form wanted me to list any new drugs I’m taking. And then it asked “What is the frequency?” I had my gout medicine with me, so I held it up to my ear, but I couldn’t hear a thing.

There were some questions about my family medical history, requesting info on relatives who had died and their causes of death, including all four of my grandparents. My maternal grandmother died suddenly at 94, her demise 18 | October 23, 2012

the result of large whiskey sours before breakfast and two packs of Camels a day. This should be a lesson to you. I’m just not sure what the lesson is.

The next line inquired about the deaths of my aunts and uncles. We were never a close-knit family, but I thought my brother who still lives in New York might remember some of the details. “Hello, Peter, it’s Dick.”

“Dick who?”

“Very funny. I have a question about Uncle Sid’s death.”

“Oh, how sad. I’m sorry to hear that. When did he die?”

“1985.”

This wasn’t getting me anywhere, so I simply scribbled in something to fill up the space—a cause of death that wouldn’t raise any red flags.

It was likely that no one ever looked at those answers, anyway. But apparently, I’m now quite the topic of conversation in the medical records department. I was told that of all the 2,000 patients in this internal medicine practice, I’m the only one whose aunts and uncles were all run over by a bus.

Carmel: Woman in Black • Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre is thrilled to celebrate the Halloween season with The Woman in Black, showing Oct. 26 through Nov. 10, at the Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Show times are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., last Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $39 for adults.

Carmel native returns home for her first trip to the basement

By Patricia Rettig • editorial@youarecurrent.com Cathedral High School graduate Hillary Smith has enjoyed many roles at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. She’s flown with Peter Pan, sang about her hard knock life with Annie and followed the white rabbit down the hole to Wonderland.

In the four years since she’s stepped onto its stage, she’s earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Florida State University and moved to New York City.

“I can’t express how great it is to be back home in Indianapolis and back home at Beef & Boards,” said Smith. “Beef & Boards will always feel like a second home to me. I have learned so much from fellow actors, directors, crew members and staff members while performing here.”

Now she’s returned to Indiana, for what might be considered the unenviable task of stepping into an iconic series at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre: Church Basement Ladies. On stage now through Nov. 25 is the third show in the musical comedy series about women who work in the basement of a Lutheran church in Minnesota: Away in the Basement.

Smith plays the youngest character: Beverly Signe Engelson, a 15-yearold preparing to be confirmed.

She is the only newcomer to the cast, which features the return of Karen Pappas as the hilarious Mavis Gilmerson, Licia Watson as the matriarch Vivian Snustad, Katherine Proctor as Beverly’s mother, Karin Engelson, and Eddie Curry as Pastor E.L. Gunderson.

“I was a little nervous coming into the process because Eddie, Karen, Katie and Licia have all been part of this show before and I was the only new member,” said Smith. “However they welcomed me with open arms, along with our director, Curt Wollan.”

“Playing Beverly is so much fun,” she added. “My mom and dad sat in on our final dress rehearsal and I could hear them laughing out loud in some of my character’s sassier moments. It must mean that Beverly and ’15-year-old’ Hillary aren’t as different as I might have thought! I love playing this character. She has so much to discover about herself and some of those ‘growing up’ discoveries or moments happen in the show for her.” www.currentincarmel.com

Beverly Engelson (Hillary Smith), right, asks Vivian Snustad (Licia Watson) why she won’t attend a Christmas dinner while her mother, Karin (Katherine Proctor), center, looks on in Away in the Basement, A Church Basement Ladies Christmas.

As if nine performances a week weren’t enough, Hillary is also taking the lead role in Cinderella, the fall installment of Beef & Boards’ Pyramid Players’ Live Theatre for Kids series, now on stage Fridays and Saturdays through Nov. 17. The one-hour performances are designed to introduce young children to live theatre.

“The kid shows at Beef & Boards are such a cool experience,” said Smith. “There is nothing like performing to an audience of children and getting to see them and their big smiles afterward. They are living the story in the audience right along with us actors on stage.”

“I love when a parent tells me that the show they just saw was that child’s first,” she added. “I will be part of a memory they will have the rest of their life.”

For reservations to either show, call the Beef & Boards Box Office at 872-9664. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays. For more information, including show schedule, visit www.beefandboards.com.

Get your kicks at Route 66

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Won’t you get hip to this timely tip: check out the new show from the Actors Theatre of Indiana. Route 66 opens Friday at The Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts, 4 Center Green, Carmel, and runs to Nov. 18.

ATI’s Alex de Aguiar Reuter said the musical is centered on four buddies traveling Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles.

“The show is a high octane experience,” he said.

“They’re all seasoned actors with great harmonies throughout.”

Take a dollop of “Grease,” mix in some “Pump Boys and Dinettes” and add a generous dose of “Forever Plaid” and you’ve got the enjoyment of Route 66. Beginning with the sounds of 1950s Chicago and traveling along the “Main Street of America” to the California coast with the surf music of the 1960s, this exciting musical revue features 34 of the greatest “Rock ’n Road” hits of the era.

Aguiar Reuter said the show is great for fathers and sons or couple’s looking for a great

night out with nostalgic music.

“We want it to be fun – a light, fun experience that’ll have you leaving with a smile on your face and your foot tapping,” Songs include “Dead Man’s Curve,” “King of the Road,” “Little Old Lady from Pasadena,” “Beep Beep,” “Six Days on the Road,” “Little GTO,” “Fun, Fun, Fun” and many more. Get your kicks with this smash hit musical revue!

As a special treat, ATI is collaborating with Circle City Corvette Club to have a collection of 1950s1970s Corvettes on display opening night.

“The plan is to have 30 there,” said Aguiar Reuter, adding that the cars will not interfere with parking Friday night.

As Chevrolet celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Corvette, Aguiar Reuter said other car clubs interested in coming out during shows should contact him at 669-7983.

Tickets range from $35.50 to $40. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. For more information or to order tickers, visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org or call 843-3800.

A Halloween theme Over the years I’ve been asked to judge tailgate contests at stadiums of huge BCS colleges all the way down in size to local prep schools.

Every single contest had a central theme thought up by its planners. People were judged, on a small part, as to their adherence to a central idea. It was fun to see all the different ways people followed the overall contest theme.

Halloween black/orange napkins and tablecloths are available from all sorts of outlets as are real pumpkins. These pumpkins can be carved with your team logo or Letter. Orange Jello-shots are easy to make from the recipe is on my website. Corn chips are available in orange and black colors and all your cream based dips can be dyed with orange or black food coloring. Decorate with a dummy of the opponent’s mascot hung by a noose and a witch’s hat and broom on display.

How about setting up a cardboard RIP, gray, tombstone for your opponents? The important thing is to change things up and have fun.

Pumpkin Walnut Praline Bars Ingredients: Pie crust (pre-made) to fit 9/13, 1 cup solidly packed canned pumpkin, 3 large eggs, 2/3 cups light brown sugar packed, 1 tsp. ground cinwww.currentincarmel.com

namon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, 3/4 cup evaporated milk Topping: 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon unbleached all purpose flour., 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup chopped walnuts To Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350. Roll the dough and trim it to fit. Brush with egg whites and place it into buttered 9/13 dish/pan and chill in the fridge until ready to bake. Mix the pumpkin, eggs brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with a whisk until smooth. Gradually stir in evaporated milk until blended. Now pour the mixture over the crust in the baking pan and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let it stand for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the brown sugar and flour in a bowl. Now, add the butter and mix with a fork or your fingers until crumbly. Add the walnuts and stir to blend. Sprinkle this mixture over the pumpkin bars and return the bars to the oven for 15 more minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a rack before cutting into bars. This will make 24 small bars.

Take a ride to the pumpkin patch

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com You could drive down the block to the local supermarket and pick out a pumpkin from a large bin, or you could board the train at Noblesville’s Forest Park and ride historic passenger cars through Hamilton County’s fall countryside, see farm animals and pick your own pumpkin from a local farm field.

The Indiana Transportation Museum’s “Pumpkin Train” is partnering with Beck’s Hybrids and the Hamilton Heights High School FFA chapter to create this unique experience.

ITM volunteer Ralph Bell said this is the fifth year the museum has partnered with the FFA for the event.

“We look for relationships anywhere we can find them,” he said.

In addition to selling pumpkins, the FFA students provide a small hay bale maze for the littlest children and games of skill for the older ones. Often a brief hayride travels around the patch and older farm equipment is on display.

Lunch items are available in the tent. Only your pumpkin and food items have costs – everything else is free. The FFA students can only accept cash at the pumpkin patch.

“People seem to be enjoying the activities up there,” Bell said.

Bell said travel time between the museum in Noblesville’s Forest Park and the pumpkin patch

Hayride at the pumpkin patch (Photos provided by the Indiana Transportation Museum)

is approximately 20 minutes each way. Visitors will remain at the patch for about one hour before the return trip to Forest Park.

“Total length of the trip will be about 1 hour and 40 minutes,” Bell said.

The Pumpkin Train runs 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Saturday and 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Sunday. Roundtrip cost is $12 for adults, $8 for children ages 2-12 and no charge for children under the age of 2 riding on the lap of a paying passenger.

Interested in riding the train? Bell advises the public to make a reservation by calling the ITM office Monday to Wednesday. Tickets can also be ordered online; however, a $2 surcharge is added according to Bell. Whatever open seats remain will be open to the public on the weekends.

Wellness Determining your breast cancer risk HEALTH

Commentary by Patricia Kennedy, MD October means lots of pink ribbon sightings in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For all women, breast cancer risks increases with age. That’s why it’s important to schedule annual mammograms beginning at age 40 – earlier if you have a family history of the disease. Yearly mammograms are one of the best ways to identify breast cancer in the earliest stages when it’s most treatable and often curable.

Women frequently ask the difference between “screening� and “diagnostic� mammograms. A “screening� mammogram is scheduled when a woman is experiencing no problems or concerns with her breasts. “Diagnostic� mammograms are completed when a woman has noticed a lump or change in the breast. If you suspect a problem, contact your primary care doctor or gynecologist first before scheduling an appointment with a breast imaging center. Your doctor will contact the center to order a diagnostic mammogram. Radiologists evaluate diagnostic mammograms differently by focusing more specifically on the area of the breast in question.

Both screening and diagnostic mammograms are thorough exams – they are just evaluated in different ways.

Understanding your personal risk for breast cancer becomes increasingly important as you Germs – As a parent, you may be tempted to sanitize everything your child touches, but research shows this may not be the best solution. Exposing infants to some germs may prove helpful, offering greater protection from illnesses such as allergies and asthma later on in life.

Exactly what germs have not yet been determined. – webmd.com Small action, big impact – You know that sleep is important for your child's success, but adjusting bed time by just a half hour can produce dramatic effects, a study says. Just twenty-seven more minutes of rest resulted in less impulsive and less distracted children.

On the contrary, one hour less had opposite effects on behavior and mood. – children.webmd.com Get some sleep – You have heard it before - get a good night's rest, but a recent Canadian research study associates lack of quality sleep in adolescents with poor health. Those with poor sleep quality were much more likely to experience high cholesterol and blood pressure and be overweight. –thechart.blogs.cnn.com www.currentincarmel.com

get older. A new Breast Cancer Risk Screening program at Indiana University Health North Hospital helps women determine their breast cancer risks. The computer-based screening program is easy, takes less than five minutes and is available free of charge to any woman who has a screening mammogram at IU Health North Hospital. To complete the screening, women answer a few basic questions about their breasts and reproductive health, including family history, age at first menstrual period, whether they have delivered children (if so, at what age) and any history of breast procedures, such as breast biopsy.

Through this initial screening, women learn if they are at average risk or potentially increased risk of developing breast cancer. Those women found to be at increased risk will be contacted by a nurse practitioner to schedule a full risk assessment. Recommendations for women with increased risks may include genetic testing, a breast MRI or consultation with breast care specialists to determine the best course of action.

Protecting your home when you are away Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Bryan H. from Noblesville: My parents go to Florida after the Thanksgiving holiday and their house pretty much sits empty until spring when they come back. Is their house okay insurance wise?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Congratulations to them and I hope you get a chance to go visit them to escape the Indiana winter. A couple of factors come in to play when we talk about unoccupied homes and insurance. Notice I didn’t say vacant homes. Let’s start with the difference between vacant and unoccupied.

Figuring out the difference between a vacant home and an unoccupied home is as easy as walking in the front door. Unoccupied homes might be a little chilly or a little warm, but people are obviously still living there. It will look like someone could have just left or might be home shortly. A vacant home is going to be pretty much empty and it will be obvious that people are not living there. The fridge will be empty, most of the furniture will be gone, etc.

Insurance carriers will not insure an unoccupied home and a vacant home at the same price or coverage levels. A vacant dwelling requires a special policy and is much more costly than The cost of education - Thanks to rising tuition and a tough job market, college seniors graduated with an average of nearly $27,000 in student loan debt last year. Two-thirds of the class of 2011 held student loans upon graduation, and the average borrower owed $26,600, according to a report from the Institute for College Access & Success' Project on Student Debt.

That's up 5 percent from 2010 and is the highest level of debt in the seven years the report has been published.

a common homeowner’s policy. Your independent insurance agent can help you find a vacant home policy or elaborate further if you think your home might be vacant.

Each insurance carrier is different, but you can start to lose coverages if your home is unoccupied for a certain period of time. The big two that usually drop off would be coverage for vandalism and coverage for losses caused by a plumbing failure like freezing pipes. These claims can both be costly, so it is very important to know and understand your policy provisions if you’re a snow bird. Coming back from a winter vacation to a ruined house can be made a lot worse by finding out your insurance carrier is denying all or major parts of your claim.

The important takeaway here is to make sure you understand your insurance policy before you fly south for the winter. Your independent insurance agent will be glad to go over it with you and clear up any confusion you may have.

Free college tuition program jumps 36 percent in Hamilton County editorial@youarecurrent.com Legacy Fund President Terry Anker said the number of eligible students in Hamilton County enrolled in Indiana’s 21st Century Scholars program, which offers free college tuition to eligible students who observe a pledge to earn good grades and stay out of trouble, jumped by 36 percent.

The 21st Century Scholars Enrollment Challenge is a part of Central Indiana Community Foundation’s College Readiness Initiative, which was created to increase educational attainment throughout Central Indiana. Originally launched in 2010 in Marion County, the Enrollment Challenge awards school counselors with gift cards for enrolling 75 percent or more of eligible students – students who participate in a public school free- and reduced-lunch program – into the state’s 21st Century Scholars Program.

Legacy Fund, an affiliate of CICF, introduced the challenge to Hamilton County in May. According to community school corporation records, Hamilton County had approximately 8,500 free-and-reduced lunch students in the public school system in the 2012 school year; 32 percent of those eligible seventh- and eighthgraders were enrolled in the 21st Century Scholars Program (a total of 388 students) and 40 percent of eligible eighth-graders (a total of 247 students) were enrolled.

Following the Enrollment Challenge, which ended on June 30, enrollment in the program by eligible students in Hamilton County had increased by 139 students – an increase of 36percent. Eighth grade enrollment jumped to 53 percent according to Regional Site Director Amy Parraga.

“For first time in the 21st Century Scholar program’s history, more than half of all eligible 8th graders in Hamilton County are enrolled in the program,” said Anker. “As a result of the Enrollment Challenge, and school counselors who worked hard to get them into the program, these students are more likely to enroll in postsecondary opportunities following high school graduation. This is an important opportunity for them, as well as their families and our community.”

Parraga also announced upcoming changes to the program. All students in the program must now begin using the scholarship within one year of high school graduation and have eight years of eligibility. Starting with the class of 2015, students must graduate high school with a minimum 2.5 GPA to receive the scholarship. Finally, students enrolled in the program on or before June 30, 2011 will not be required to have their family income reevaluated during their senior year. Students enrolled after that date will be required to participate in an income means test.

All 21st Century Scholar eligibility information can be viewed at www.scholars.in.gov.

Grammar Guy

Logical punctuation and you Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question from Trudy Belinski: While watching “Jeopardy� it seemed to me that quotes were used incorrectly. In the 6th Edition of the Harbrace College Handbook, it says – when periods or commas are used with quotation marks, the periods or commas should be inside the quotation marks.

I wrote to Alex Trebek years ago and he answered as follows: Our editorial associate producer is the product of an English education and he seems to favor a more “logical� approach to this matter. With this comment he included some pages of the English 2nd edition of the Harper Dictionary of Contemporary Usage. It says that printers in the U.S. chose our version because of the looks of the page and empty spaces, but the English version makes more sense.

What do you think?  Must we put up with the English version while watching Jeopardy even though we’re in the USA and are used to the way we use quotes here in our country in our newspapers and books.

Answer: It’s funny you should ask that, Trudy. I was just reading an article on Slate about the resurgence of “logical� punctuation, or British punctuation, online and in American media. I don’t think I was alone in being fairly unfamiliar with the distinction.

So, what is “logical� punctuation? To keep it simple, the difference between the British “logical� punctuation system and our American system boils down to two punctuation marks: the period and the comma. In American punctuation, commas and periods always go inside of quotation marks, with very few exceptions Clean complexion – Keeping your face clean isn’t as cut and dry as washing your face. Avoid using shampoo, shower gel or body wash for face washing, as those are rough on the skin. Cleansers with glycolic acid can be left on a little longer before a rinse, which works as a “mini-peel.� – miamiherald.com

(The Slate article notes computer code as the most common one). In “logical� punctuation, commas and periods are either placed inside or outside of quotation marks depending upon whether they are considered to be a part of the quoted material.

How about an example? As I can think of no one more appropriate to quote than the oftquoted Mark Twain – one of my favorite authors, incidentally – I’ll let him chime in about writing. “Writing is easy,� Twain once wrote, “All you have to do is cross out the wrong words.�

Notice that here the comma and period are placed within the quotation marks, as prescribed

by American punctuation rules. Now, if we slipped the same sentence past the copy editor in British style, it would look like this: “Writing is easy�, Twain once wrote, “All you have to do is cross out the wrong words�. In British, or “logical,� punctuation, the comma and period would go outside of the quotation marks since they are not part of the original quote.

Since Jeopardy is filmed in Los Angeles, and every American style book and English teacher you could care to consult would recommend American punctuation, I would say that yes, Trudy, Trebek’s commas and periods should fall squarely within his punctuation marks. As to what Twain might say, I suspect he’d advocate going for the simplest, least high-falootin’ set of rules possible – all while following the opposite set to the T, of course.

Relationships

The power of family patterns Commentary by Kristen Boice Family patterns, both healthy and unhealthy, have a legacy and power for future generations. We are grateful for healthy patterns. The unhealthy patterns tend to be more difficult to confront. And, these can teach us the most when we are open to exploring them.

How often do we stop and examine what we might be passing down to our children or those around us? Often, we are just doing what we know. It’s important to explore why we think, feel and act the way we do. Sometimes we are on auto-pilot and not awake to our daily actions and how they show up.

Taking time to explore your unhealthy patterns will help stop the multi-generational transmission of issues. It is not about getting stuck or blaming our past. It’s about creating insight, becoming aware of what we want to do differently and then taking action to change it.

Below are a few key areas to begin your journey of making a lasting change.

Explore the role of guilt and shame. Do you struggle with guilt or feeling bad? Do you use guilt to “get” your children to do what you want them to do? Was guilt or shame used in your family system as a form of control or manipulation? Write out how you use shame and guilt with others and yourself. Let go of the “should’s” and start accepting yourself for who you are. We

are human beings who are imperfect. The key is to grow and learn from our choices so we are more joyful, happy and at peace.

Look at boundaries. What were the boundaries in your family growing up? Were they rigid or did you not have any rules? We teach other people how to treat us. Did you learn to set healthy boundaries with others? Do you set them with your children? Write out what your boundaries are and start communicating what you will and won’t tolerate in a relationship.

Understand your feelings. Were you able to express your feelings or did you have to hold them in? Are you uncomfortable when others express how they feel? Some people neglect their own feelings and needs by taking care of others, even when others aren’t asking for it. This may lead to feeling resentment and neglected. You are not responsible for fixing or changing your whole family. You are responsible for you, your choices and making changes This is some of the most powerful and transformative work you can do. Be patient with yourself.

It takes courage and a willingness to be accountable. It takes one person to change the pattern.

Polling data and God's truth Commentary by Bob Walters

I wonder how God views polls.

Not the political polls about November’s election, but the recent Pew Research and PBS polling about our population’s beliefs, religion, and spirituality. Twenty percent of Americans claim no religious affiliation; 48 percent say they are Protestant, 22 percent are Catholic, nine percent are “other,” and three percent claim atheism – that God doesn’t exist.

I can’t imagine that God is the least bit surprised by polls so for sanity’s sake, believers and church-goers shouldn’t impute unsettling truth that isn’t implied. While polling results may be “accurate,” they reflect human preference and opinion, not divine truth or God’s efficacy.

From my Christian perspective, the only Truth that is important is the combined life, person, and promise of Jesus Christ. One may have a life-truth different from that, but whatever it is, I bet it was formed by faith, not a poll.

Religion, church, preachers, teachers, scholars, worship practices, traditions, even the Bible – and of course things like these polls – are enlightening tools that can be systematically seen, felt, heard, learned, observed and pondered. They help us reach out to God, see Jesus reaching out to us and discern the presence of the Holy Spirit. True faith however – just like love, freedom, truth,and life – cannot be simplified into a system that can be polled accurately. God’s truth is too big to be

contained by the limitations of a system, wherein we trade our freedom in the enormity of God’s life and love for adherence to the limitations of man’s systems and knowledge.

That’s not a knock on the Bible, church, religion, or anything else. It’s simply an endorsement of true relationship with God the Father Almighty through Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Human polls cannot gauge or reflect the divine Holy Spirit.

These polls, by nature, have human bias built into them and human bias coming out of them.

And while bias is sort of an ugly word, as are bigotry and prejudice, those are human words we use to paint somebody else’s preference with sinister intent. Man’s polls, at best, define a present worldly condition. God’s truth is eternal love.

The strength God enjoys over religious polling data is that His truth, light and life are not subject to percentages and variances. Those are things mankind brings to the equation. Our society certainly loves to search for truth in polls, opinions, and trends, but then loses God in the glare of its own opinionated and fallen reflection.

We honor God sincerely by reflecting His light on others with our lives, not our opinions.

Bob Walters (rlwcom@aol.com) is convinced quite completely that God’s life, love, and existence are immune from opinion poll results.

The interior style epicenter Commentary by Vicky Earley

precision, you know that the craftsmen is versed in how to do it right.

Mirrored furniture has taken a back seat to consoles and cabinets upholstered in textiles.

Accent pieces eschew the tradition of wood stain in favor of vibrant paint colors. Distressed pieces remain popular as do high gloss furnishings.

Stain resistant outdoor fabrics used as indoor upholstery textile are a growing trend in response to a demand for livability. Yes, Virginia, it is now possible to have a white sofa and not worry about stains.

With two days of Mart down, and two more to go, we will most certainly see more creative ideas to share next week.

For six days, this town hosts more than 80,000 as they preview the trends for the next six months of the home interior industry. We have more than 2,000 exhibitors to visit and 10.5 million square feet to cover in 180 buildings, so comfortable shoes are critical!

I would love to report a specific color trend to look forward to but that is just too simple.

Color, itself, appears to be the trend! Cleaner and more vibrant, the hues combined in room settings rival a 64 color box of crayons.

Red paired with teal, plum and gray, tangerine and citron, goldenrod and mink, and persimmon and sapphire are some of the most repeated combinations. Leather in saturated colors is the punctuation to room vignettes.

Large scale patterns are paired with smaller geometrics on chairs. Chevron patterns are still dizzyingly popular.

Sofas are solid colors complete with a mélange of pillow patterns to tie the colors back to the accents in the chair.

Details make formerly average pieces stand out with distinct personality. Linens are trimmed with velvet, nail heads are used in waves, boxes and diamonds are used to dress the furnishings.

Linen is still a contender as a fabric choice, but the color choices far exceed the natural ones of last year.

Good to know before you go Commentary by Tracy Line

before flushing a toilet in Switzerland; flushing after 10 p.m. in an apartment could land you in jail.

• People with a DUI or DWI are not allowed entrance into Canada (border agents have access to U.S. criminal records). In addition, pit bulls are banned in Ontario; could it be that a drunk U.S. citizen with a mean dog did something really, really bad in Ontario years back?

• Spitting is against the law in Barcelona, Singapore, Vancouver and Dodge City, Kansas. Why isn’t it illegal everywhere?

• It is illegal to photograph certain buildings in Vietnam. While you may not be thrown in jail for it, you will be shunned. Getting shunned in Vietnam sounds scary enough to me.

There are a myriad of unusual and seemingly useless laws in our world. Some make us grin and aren’t really pertinent to our lives. But others are actually good for us to be aware of. Below is a list of unusual laws I’ve come across in my work. Read on for a good laugh, and maybe you’ll learn a thing or two that will keep you out of jail when you travel.

• Visitors to Thailand must have underwear on at all times. No statutes on its cleanliness though…

• Bear wrestling is illegal in Alabama, since 2006. I personally didn’t even know there were bears in Alabama.

• In Florida, it is illegal for single women to parachute on Sundays. Is this discrimination? What about single men?

• In London you can urinate anywhere in public, provided you are pregnant. Having been pregnant three times, I sort of understand this one.

• In the same vein, one must check his watch

Tragic – Animals, such as chickens, are often used for therapy. A boy with autism in Florida, J.J.

While bite marks were found on the animals, the family suspects the work of a human. The family was also fighting with law enforcement officials over a fine related to the chickens. – pawnation.com

How to stop a dog fight Commentary by John Mikesell

A dog fight that goes beyond a brief scuffle and doesn’t resolve quickly is frightening to behold. In fact it’s one of the behavior scenarios most likely to result in significant injury to humans, not to mention the dogs. The first, most important thing to remember is stay safe. After that, here are a few things to do to try to end the conflict as quickly as possible, with minimal bloodshed.

Spray me a river. Blast the dogs with water from a nearby hose, assuming a nearby hose with a powerful enough spray. An easily portable aversive, such as lemon juice in a spray bottle, can be an effective alternative. In a pinch, even a fire extinguisher makes a handy and effective fight stopping tool.

Sound strategies. Depending on the intensity of the fight, a loud yell might put it to rest. Try dropping one or several metal pans on

the floor. A marine air horn can be effective at breaking up a fight. Warning, they are loud.

Keep your hands out of the danger zone by using a physical object to break up the fight. You have to plan in advance. This would be a good idea if you have two dogs that have shown a propensity to get into fights with each other. Attach two handles to a small piece of plywood. When the fight happens, lower the board between the sparring dogs. The board will push them apart.

I have been lucky and never had to break up a dog fight. I think that the biggest danger of a fight that most of us will encounter would be when walking our dogs. Carrying a hose just won’t work so a small air horn device, like the ones that some folks have a sporting events, is probably the best choice if one is worried about a fight.

John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at john.mikesell@att.net.

Ouch – It is a common situation for pet owners: An energetic and enthusiastic pet sees the dog across the street, or the mailman, and responds by jumping up on the couch in front of the window and scratching the curtains and wall. Place a clear plastic floor mat, bumpy side up, on the couch.

Once the pet realizes that he doesn't like the couch because it is now uncomfortable, he will then stop his destructive visits. goodhousekeeping. com

Love ‘em – We all love to eat, and this does not exclude our furry counterparts. Sometimes, however, one notices that his dog or cat has been eating excessively and has a seemingly insatiable appetite. Overeating is sometimes caused by boredom or low-grade stress. With lots of running, jumping and cuddling, your pet should be back on track and perfectly healthy. -goodhousekeeping.com Alzheimer’s in man’s best friend – It is possible for your pooch to be afflicted by a disorder similar to Alzheimer’s disease, called canine cognitive dysfunction. Once a dog hits about sevenyears-old, histolic brain lesions can form, impacting the pup’s orientation, sleep and house-training skills.

Cats clawing curtains – Cats love to climb about and may even defy logic by avoiding special furniture made just for that and go straight for the curtains. If your cat won’t stay away from the curtains, take them down, temporarily install a cat window seat and then remove it after a couple weeks, saving your curtains from claws. –miamiherald.com Walking the cat – Some feline owners fancy taking their pet out for a neighborhood walk. To get a cat to put up with an outdoor walk, cajoling with treats and patience from the owner are necessary for success. –miamiherald.com

Take advantage of beautiful fall colors Commentary by Randy Sorrell The popularity of “hardscapes” has prompted many in our industry to marginalize the value of stunning landscapes. Unfortunately, most consumers have been happy to follow that fixation on patios, decks, fire features and everything else that is not soft … like landscapes. That’s too bad. Expect a return of enthusiastic landscaping as we wake up.

Think about it, a beautiful deck or patio stands little chance of being a compelling place to hang out with your loved ones or a personal respite without smartly designed plantings to bring it to life and soften the edges. Anything flowering, that motions with a breeze, has compelling fragrance or a distinct texture has the power to impact our mood and direct how an evening of entertaining unfolds.

Fall favorites Well planned landscapes are especially showy in the fall when leaves are popping with color, almost like a final hurrah before winter sets in, screaming “Look at me!” And look we do. Fall color is often a forgotten function in landscape design, but its value is stunning.

Some of the most brilliant fall colors are housed on the ornamental serviceberry tree.

Perhaps that’s why there are five in my back yard on fire with the brilliance of fall. Green leafed Japanese maples are impressive too with a tinge of bright orange showing through.

Fall – Want to keep those flowers alive in frost season but don’t trust the weatherman? Consider daytime temperature (likely no frost if over 75 degrees), wind (a light breeze overnight usually prevents frost) and garden situation (plots on slopes or high ground are more immune, as cold air pools in low areas). - www.almanac.com

Understandably, most of us love the impressive endless summer hydrangea for its strong continual flower statement. Yet, the unobtrusive glowing embers hydrangea is my go-to variety because of its warm plum / red tones that begin showing themselves in mid-summer on its large leaf structure. Flowering is almost a bonus for this performer. Same goes with the oak leaf hydrangea.

Autumn is a second spring, where every leaf is flower. Could your outdoor living space use an inspiring dose of color?

Hardwood flooring

IntroducingThe All-New 2013

Commentary by David Decker

For a versatile and natural look that never goes out of style, many homeowners choose to install hardwood flooring. Unlike other flooring trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained in style for over 200 years with no signs that tastes will change anytime soon. Today, homeowners have more hardwood options to choose from than ever before. With designs ranging from rustic to retro to contemporary, there is a style of hardwood floor to fit any home.

The number of designs available on the market can overwhelm some shoppers. If you are looking for new hardwood flooring, keep the following trends and developments in mind next time you are out browsing.

Wide Wood Flooring: Many homeowners are choosing flooring designed with wider planks.

The width of the plank used to be related to the age and maturity of the tree it was crafted from.

Many years ago, mature lumber was much easier to come by. But as the lumber supply ran out or became protected, wide planks gradually became rare. This is why modern hardwood has always been made from narrow planks. But thanks to new manufacturing techniques, wide plank flooring has been made available once again. Wider boards give the illusion that the room is larger, which is why many homeowners select the style. And they can give a room a hint of traditional elegance that echoes antique hardwood floor.

Distressed Wood Flooring: Since the late 1990’s, there’s been a surge in popularity of distressed wood flooring. Planks featuring scrapes, nail holes or stains can create an artsy, edgy look that many niche markets love.

Exotic Wood Flooring: Homebuyers are no longer limited to domestic species of wood. Today, you can find hardwood floors made from

SMALL BUSINESS

SATURDAY NOV 24, 2012

LEXUS ES SErIES trees from all over the world. Most exotic woods are crafted from wood harvested from tropical forests. For this reason, some homeowners choose to purchase sustainable woods that have been engineered and designed to mimic exotic woods.

Sustainability: Green options for flooring are being developed with greater frequency than ever before. Styles crafted from bamboo or cork cut down the flooring’s impact on the environment.

Color: Hardwood floor is available in a spectrum of colors (and not just various shades of brown).

Consider installing black, white, red or even grey flooring. Or you can also purchase unfinished wood that can be stained with any color, opening up all sorts of design possibilities.

An excellent new line to consider is DuChateau Floors. Developed in Holland, these vintage hardwood floors are designed to reflect Old World styles using modern technologies. If you’re looking to add an antique feel to a room, consider one of DuChateau’s designs.

Before attempting to select a style of hardwood floor, it’s important to first decide on how you’d like the room to look and feel. The right hardwood style can subtly tie all the other elements of your room décor together. Select carefully; a great hardwood floor can last a lifetime and beyond.
