OUR VIEWS

It is our opinion that the decision of Goshen College to ban the Star-Spangled Banner before sporting events was a poor one that may have some unintended consequences. It is understandable that the liberal arts school, which has a focus on ministry of the Mennonite Church USA, has a strong focus on promoting peace. However, banning such an iconic symbol of our great nation does not accomplish this. Moreover, it slaps in the face all those who have served in our military and puts their lives on the line or given their lives so that we may have that much desired “peace.”

It is reasonable that a group of college students might shortsightedly make such a statement without fully recognizing its impact; but it is inexcusable for the college’s Board of Directors to support such a decision.

This governing body should have known and predicted what negative impact this might have created. Our position isn’t intended to suggest that a student’s opinion should not be voiced or heard. But the college has chosen to utilize claim this action as free speech and now must face whatever backlash or response that comes with it. And we hope it is significant.

Use your head

It is our position that we must take responsibility as parents and caregivers to ensure our children stay safe while riding bicycles. Statistics show helmets are the single most effective way to prevent head injury resulting from a bicycle crash.

According to Riley Children’s Hospital (iuhealth.org), children under 16 account for half of the nation’s 500,000 bicycle-related injuries each year. Correctly-fitted and properly-positioned bicycle helmets are proven to reduce the risk of fatal head injury by 75 percent and reduce the risk of brain injury by 85 percent. Yet, a glance into most neighborhoods reveals very few children and teens are wearing helmets while riding their bikes.

Convincing kids that wearing a helmet is “cool” can certainly be a challenge. However, we owe it to ourselves to try. There were two bills that died in the Indiana General Assembly, SB0353 and HB1141 that would have made it a law for children under 18 to wear helmets while riding their bikes. While a law would make it easier for parents to enforce helmet usage, there is no indication of when and if such measures will ever be passed. For now, it is up to us to set a good example and perhaps wear one ourselves.

The first American political cartoon was published in the Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754 by Benjamin Franklin. It appeared as part of his editorial on the disunited state of the British colonies.

CONSTITUTION CLOSEUP

Photo Illustration

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.

In Fort Madison, Iowa, it is illegal for firefighters to respond to a blaze unless they first practice for 15 minutes.

Every week, we will print a portion of the U.S. Constitution, followed by a portion of the Indiana Constitution. We encourage you to benchmark government policies against these bedrock documents. Today: the Indiana Constitution.

Section 11. Tenure of Justices of Supreme Court and Judges of the Court of Appeals. A justice or judge so retired by the Supreme Court shall be considered to have retired voluntarily. A justice or judge so removed by the Supreme Court is ineligible for judicial office and pending further order of the Court he is suspended from practicing law in this State.

Upon receipt by the Supreme Court of any such recommendation, the Court

shall hold a hearing, at which such justice or judge is entitled to be present, and make such determinations as shall be required. No justice shall participate in the determination of such hearing when it concerns himself.

The Supreme Court shall make rules implementing this section and provide for convening of hearings. Hearings and proceedings shall be public upon request of the justice or judge whom it concerns.

No such justice or judge shall, during his term of office, engage in the practice of law, run for elective office other than a judicial office, directly or indirectly make any contribution to, or hold any office in, a political party or organization or take part in any political campaign.

A supremely satisfying ruling

FROM THE BACKSHOP ‘Gimme back my 1 percent, then’ So the vaunted National Football League team owners and the players, so far, cannot get together on a plan that would allow the 2011 season and the 2012 Super Bowl to be played. If, for some reason (greed by both sides), an agreement doesn’t materialize in time to allow for a season and the Lucas Oil Stadium-hosted Super Bowl, we want our 1-percent tax on food and beverages returned to us, post haste. The tax (Do you even remember it?) was levied back in 2005 to help fund the stadium and attract the spectacle that is the Super Bowl (and untold millions of dollars in economic influx for the metro area). Now, it’s this simple: Get it together, play the season, have the Big Game™ and keep the dough. You’re welcome. Screw it up, gents, and we’re gonna start asking questions of Hamilton County and local municipalities. (Begin to shudder in boots here.) Don’t say you weren’t warned. In all seriousness, that’s YOUR money and OURS. If the game doesn’t come off as planned, we will be asking you and restaurant and bar owners to join us in a food-and-beverage tax strike. Do you believe the restaurants and bars will lock us out? Think again. They’re NOT the NFL.

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg ••• Sunshine, sunscreen, a gentle breeze, your boat with you at the helm, music blaring and a cooler full of dastardly cold beer. What’s wrong with that picture? You darned well know: Boating and booze don’t mix. Now a waterborne coalition of the Fishers police and fire departments will help you remember in case you forget. Geist Reservoir has the attention of the floating enforcers, and you had best pay heed.

It won’t take much to earn a citation for violating the law. You could, in some cases, lose your boat. We salute the coalition and the folks from the Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary that help.

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers My hat is off this week to the U.S. Supreme Court, for upholding a lower court’s decision to overturn a California law which sought to ban the sale of “violent” video games to minors.

I suppose in the interest of full disclosure, I should say that I’ve been known to engage in a little video game violence myself from time to time. Mostly against those squiggly “Z” blocks in Tetris. They’re the real enemy here.

This is one of those “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” kind of stories, I feel. There’s no doubt in my mind the authors of the bill, and those who voted for it in the California legislature, were doing what they thought was best for the children of their state. And I get that. But, as Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in his majority opinion, the state’s right to protect minors, “does not include a free-floating power to restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed.”

Scalia also rejected the state’s presentation of studies purporting to show that violent video-

games harm minors, saying that those studies “have been rejected by every court to consider them,” because, “they do not prove that violent games cause minors to act aggressively.”

I think, at times, we still have trouble really grasping the full scope of the First Amendment, and cases like this – be it early 20th century book censorships, the 1989 Texas v.

Johnson decision which overturned a ban on flag burning, or the latest whipping boy, video games – represent a natural attempt to delineate this idea of “Freedom of Speech” into comfortable boundaries. It’s the struggles at those borderlines which test our mettle in upholding the Constitution’s grand ideas, and reinforce why, indeed, the First Amendment deserves the top billing among rights.

This is one of those “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” kind of stories, I feel.

Marriage is a page-turner COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson Harry Potter taught me a valuable lesson in marriage. Being in the same story as your spouse doesn’t mean you’re on the same page in your lives.

I’m a speed reader when it comes to easy fiction, and I have a tendency to skip whole paragraphs if they are too descriptive in nature. Who cares if the gentle breeze carried the heady scent of wisteria and lilac? However, Doo takes in every detail and savors passages like he’s eating a double scoop of butter pecan ice cream.

As my husband would hear my reactions to funny or sad chapters, he would yell, “Stop reading, and wait for me to catch up.” I just couldn’t, I’d waited a whole year for this book.

So we spent most of that weekend frustrated with each other because we literally weren’t on the same page.

I’m telling this story because marriage means you and your spouse can be on different pages.

You can even be on different a chapter, and that was the case on our recent family vacation. Doo and I simply could not get in sync. He arrived mid-week, which may have been part of the problem. I felt like I was on page 298 of Parenting while he was on page 105; I was already on the 20th chapter of Hilton Head Summers while he had just started Chapter Four. I wanted to keep the pace I set, but Doo kept yelling for me to slow down.

We bickered over the amount of supervision our pre-teens needed, whether to enjoy the morning at the pool or at the beach, and how we wanted to blow our vacation budget for 2011. Three days later, and halfway through a 14-hour car ride home, we finally shared the same pace.

Our conflicts stem from our contrasting personalities. I’m a control freak who enjoys sitting on my butt reading smut novels. Doo is an impulsive extravert who needs to be swimming, fishing, or doing something to vacation properly.

He’s the fun dad, I’m the mean mom. But to have our differences manifest on a trip stinks like our gecko’s aquarium (Still alive! See below!).

Although, with communication and patience, harmony can happen. We eventually were able to end up on the same page in the same book (“Budgeting the rest of 2011”).

Peace out.

Gecko Update: Quickie is alive! At least she was when I was writing this article. The prognosis is still bleak, but she is home and being loved on. My son is coming to terms with the impending demise of his little scaled friend.

Drivers beware: Texting ban now in effect

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers As of July 1, Hoosier motorists caught texting while driving could be facing a traffic violation ticket, and a fine of up to $500.

The new law, House Bill 1129, makes it a Class C infraction to use a telecommunications device to type, transmit or read a text message or email while operating a motor vehicle.

Proponents of the bill say it’s a first step in reducing thousands of collisions on Indiana roadways every year because of distracted drivers. In 2009 alone, distracted driving crashes cost the state $257.5 million.

Some, however, say the law doesn’t go far enough, pointing out that while texting is banned, GPS applications to web surfing, will remain perfectly legal. There is also no provision which would prevent drivers from talking on their cell phone while driving.

The law may also prove as difficult to enforce as a 2009 ban on teens texting while driving, which has netted only a handful of tickets since it came into effect. Law enforcement officers are not permitted by the bill to confiscate telecommunications devices for the purpose of verifying that texting did occur, leaving the question open as to how a determination of unlawful texting will be made.

County homes selling for more, but staying longer on market

By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers Median sale prices for Hamilton County homes are on the rise, as is the amount of time they spend on the market, according to a report issued last week by the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors.

Closing prices for homes saw a 3.9 percent increase during the March-May measurement period, as compared to the same time frame in 2010. The numbers of new homes on the market and homes sold, however, both saw decreases from their 2010 levels, down 8.8 percent and 13.6 percent, respectively.

The decrease in market listings may not be indicative of a new housing slump, according to Steve Rupp, broker associate and realtor for Prudential Indiana Realty Group, but rather a market beginning to stand on its own feet again.

“What you’ve got to take into account here,” Rupp said, “is that these numbers are, for the first time in two years, reflective of the market without the home buyer tax credit.”

The first-time homebuyer credit, established by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, offered a credit for first home purchases, worth up to $7,500. That credit was eventually increased to $8,000, and extended through April 30, 2010.

“What we were seeing (last year) was that any property that was well-priced and even halfway presentable was selling,” Rupp said. “People who were sitting on the fence were pushed on to the market,

6 | July 5, 2011

because they saw this $8,000 tax credit going away.”

The tax credit was, according to Rupp, “life support” for the struggling housing market during the 2008 economic downturn.

“The real estate market suffered major trauma,” he said. “But at some point, we had to go off that ventilator and stand on our own two feet.”

The MIBOR report also indicated an 18.7 percent increase in months supply of inventory, from 7.5 to 9 months, in March-May of this year compared to the same period in 2010.

A market’s supply of inventory is the amount of months it would take to sell all currently available homes with no new listings added. In May, the month’s supply of inventory further increased to 9.4 months.

“Houses are spending about 50 percent longer on the market than you’d expect in a healthy market, and it’s trending upward,” Rupp said.

“Broadly, five to seven months is the commonly accepted healthy time on the market.”

“I think these numbers are indicative of increased confidence in the market, because peo-

Emerald ash borers take county trees by storm COMMENTARY

By Ashley Mulis I know what you are thinking: What is the deal with all of the dead trees this spring?

Now that the trees have produced leaves, it has become pretty obvious that the dreaded emerald ash borer we have been hearing about for five years has started to take a major toll in Carmel. For those who have not heard the emerald ash borer (EAB) story, here’s a short recap: This bug is actually an exotic beetle that was first detected near Detroit in 2002. It is believed that the pest arrived in packing material from ships or airplanes with freight originating in Asia. The adult beetles eat leaves; but it is the larvae that cause the big problem by tunneling under the tree bark, essentially cutting off the ash tree’s ability to transport water and nutrients.

Emerald ash borers were found in Indiana in 2004, and have slowly made their way into Canada and 14 other states. The insect is responsible for the death of millions of ash trees, costing homeowners, municipalities and states a great deal of money and heartache. Ash trees are not only native to a large part of our country, but are one of the faster growing hardwood trees, making them a favorite among landscape architects and city foresters. Plus, ash trees have played a big part in the Great American Pastime

-- baseball. If you’ve every played, you have likely swung a bat made from the wood of an ash tree.

So now what do we do? Unless you are willing to chemically treat your ash tree for the foreseeable future, the undeniable truth is that this insect is here to stay and we are in for huge environmental losses. We are left with the task of replacing that huge loss of tree canopy. As they say, there is no time like the present. Start planting new trees in the landscape. There are many wonderful native species you can replace ash trees with, such as oaks, bald cypress, tulip poplar and sweetgum. Non-native species are sterile in the environment, and some have even become invasive, displacing our native plants and trees and the birds and animals that depend on them. Native trees support native species. It makes perfect sense doesn’t it? So while we are mourning the loss of our ash trees, we need to get to work on planting a new source of shade and beauty for our fair city.

For more information, visit the Indiana Urban Forest Council website at http://iufc.org/ to locate a more complete list of recommended tree species.

TRAINING FOR GOLD Sword fighting takes Fishers resident Cat Bouwkamp around the world

By Ellen Kizik Current in Fishers Cat Bouwkamp, a Fishers resident, wanted to try something that none of her peers were doing. Fencing, the sport of sword fighting, caught her attention and has had her hooked for the past six and a half years.

The trials and tribulation of the sport has landed her the top ranking spot in the nation.

It has also provided her with the opportunity to experience different cultures a typical teenager otherwise might never get the chance to see.

During the past year and a half, she has broken the mold of a typical fencer by branching out into the world of wheelchair fencing.

Bouwkamp spent the first five years of her fencing career as an able-bodied fencer. She was born with a leg condition that qualifies her for both types of fencing. It was a very difficult decision for her and her family to make the switch, but she has excelled.

What sets Bouwkamp apart, is her duality.

Cat has become an international wheelchair fencer right here in the heart of the Midwest.

Bouwkamp said the difference between both styles of fencing is interesting to note.

“There is not as much time to think, not as much wide range of distance, everything is at a higher speed,” she explained.

There is never a dull moment, and the everevolving strategies that the fencer has to develop really helps keep competitors on their toes.

“Fencing is truly a high speed chest game,” said Bouwkamp. “There is way more than meets the eye and it is definitely nothing like the pirate and ninja movies you see in theaters or on television.”

Bouwkamp fences in all three weapons - foil, epee and sabre- and she’s currently ranked first in the nation for all three.

Bouwkamp has a soft spot for her first love, sabre fencing. In sabre, you “cut” or as some refer to it, whack, your opponent in the correct target area. For every single touch above the competitor’s waist, excluding the hands, fencers get one point. Each bout or fencing session ranges from five, 10 or 15 touches.

Bouwkamp said her motto is to aim for the stars and land somewhere in between.

She has entered a world-wide community of wheelchair fencers, one that is very close, yet super-competitive.

“I feed off the want to succeed and excel,” she said.

The fencer said her success has been great, but it couldn’t have been achieved without her parents, Alan and Janet Bouwkamp.

Her father said, “we are proud of all she has accomplished by perseverance and following her

heart. And don’t forget guts.”

As an upcoming sophomore at Fishers High School, her dream remains to fence in the 2012 Summer Para-Olympics in London. Bouwkamp is young enough that she plans to qualify for at least three Para-Olympics, with the hopes of medaling at least once along the way.

She said her recommendation to all ath-

letes is to apply good sportsmanship as the foundation to achieving your goals.

“It’s all nice and rewarding to win, but as long as you have great sportsmanship, you did better than a winner with none.”

Watch for her in mid-August, when she travels to the Americas Zonal competition in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Current in Fishers

Bouwkamp is a member of Indy Sabre Fencing Club, which meets regularly at the Jewish Community Center, as well as in several locations throughout the greater Indianapolis area.

Matt Kegley named HSE High School principal The Hamilton Southeastern Board of School Trustees approved Matt Kegley as the new principal of HSE High School at Monday evening’s meeting. Kegley previously served as assistant principal at HSE High School and most recently as principal of Kegley Riverside Junior High.

Kegley called returning to HSE High School and the many people with whom he previously worked a “unique and inviting opportunity.” He said, “There are many changes and challenges that face the high school in the coming years. I am looking forward to tackling those challenges in a way that will best meet the needs of our high school students.”

Prior to coming to HSE, Kegley was assistant principal at Huntington North High School, and athletic director/program director at Waldron Jr./Sr. High School after teaching there. Kegley is currently working on his doctorate and has an M.S. in educational leadership and B.S. in physical education with a minor in U.S. history.

Nikki Henson named Sand Creek Elementary principal The Hamilton Southeastern Board of School Trustees approved Nikki J.Henson as the new principal of Sand Creek Elementary at its Monday evening meeting. Henson most recently served as assistant principal at Crooked Creek Elementary in Washington Township.

“I am looking forward Henson to learning more about the school community and sharing my experiences as an educator as we emphasize learning and teaching,” said Henson.

Henson feels her past teaching and experience as assistant principal best prepared her for this new position.

“As one of the instructional leaders, I’ve worked along side teachers with curriculum implementation, developing relationships and sharing strategies to meet the needs of all students,” she said.

Henson has her M.S. degree in educational administration from Butler University and her B.S. in elementary education from Alabama A & M University.

Addressing ADHD: Beyond fidgeting to focus.

St.Vincent Stress Center Many people don’t recognize that they are suffering from stress because it shows up in so many different ways. common stress symptoms include headaches, sleep disturbances, weight gain or loss, fatigue and mood swings.

Learning how to cope with stress can save you from serious physical and behavioral problems in the future.

Your child wiggles and fidgets. You can’t finish a sentence without him or her interrupting. You notice that he or she has a very hard time fighting impulses. These behaviors are signs of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The disorder affects as many as 10 percent of children and adolescents and can make it hard for a child to focus at school or function at home.

Your child might have ADHD if he or she:

• Avoids chores or activities that need full attention.

• Does not follow or easily forgets instructions or directions.

• Does not appear to listen when spoken to directly.

• Fails to pay close attention to orders and makes careless mistakes in schoolwork.

• Is easily distracted.

• Has a hard time focusing.

• Has problems organizing tasks or chores.

• Loses things, such as pencils, books, homework or toys.

• Is always “on the go.”

• Blurts out answers without allowing the question to be finished.

• Has problems waiting turns or waiting in line.

• Interrupts or intrudes.

• Leaves his or her seat frequently.

Most parents decide to seek treatment for their children’s attention deficit or hyperactivity problems if the symptoms interfere with school or relationships.

At St.Vincent Medical Northeast we:

• Conduct a thorough assessment to rule out any other reasons for the attention difficulties.

• Recognize that those who respond best to treatment are those who get a variety of treatments.

• Provide treatment including helping patients and their families learn some behavioral management techniques plus coping strategies.

• May prescribe medication to improve attention, reduce hyperactivity or treat other emotional problems, which may accompany the attention deficit.

ADHD or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) may be a lifelong struggle, but it often has a good response to treatment. Successful treatment is ongoing and involves the collaboration of the parents or family, the patient, the physician and other professionals involved.

To schedule a consultation or for more information, call 317-415-9147. The St.Vincent Stress Center is located at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast in Suite 302.

• Moves hands or wiggles feet often.

We offer a wide variety of behavioral health services for children, teens, young adults and adults at the St.Vincent Stress center, located at St.Vincent Medical center Northeast in Suite 302.

Therapy services include medication evaluation; individual, couples and family therapy; and consultation for behavioral issues such as: • Stress • Depression • ADHD/ADD • Anxiety • Relationship issues To schedule an appointment, call 317-415-9147. For our 24-hour confidential crisis line, call 800-872-2210.

2011 Symphony on the Prairie Summer Concert Series

St.Vincent Sports Performance — Scholastic Training

one in five people will get skin cancer.

But you don’t have to hide inside. instead, learn to minimize the risks.

Presented by St.Vincent Health friday and Saturday, July 8 & 9, 6pm – 8pm (prior to concert) conner Prairie, 13400 Allisonville Road, fishers

Start by staying out of tanning beds, which increase your risk of skin cancer by 75 percent. instead of using the tanning bed or baking in the sun, try some of the latest tanning creams and spray tans. These look great — the days of turning orange are over — and give you a tan without the risk. other precautions that reduce your risk of skin cancer: • Use sunscreen with an SPf of 30 or more whenever you are outdoors — even on overcast days.

• Seek shade to help avoid direct sun between 10am and 4pm.

• Wear a hat, shirt and sunglasses with 99-100 percent UV absorption.

DISPATCHES » Hear ‘White Christmas’ after coffee? – Scientists from La Trobe University said they found that people who self reported that they were stressed and consumed at least five caffeinated beverages, including coffee, a day were more likely than people who were neither stressed nor heavy caffeine users to believe they heard bits of music (Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas”) in what was actually pure white noise played through headphones for three minutes. Despite some limitations, the findings are consistent with previous research, including a 2009 survey finding that people who drank three or more cups of brewed coffee a day were three times more likely to report hearing and seeing things that didn’t exist.

Experiencing veganism: The first step COMMENTARY

By Courtney Stiehl I’ve given up eating meat, dairy products and animal everything a month. I’ve decided to try veganism. I’m curious about what positive effects, if any, this plant-based diet will have on me. I’m not looking to go permanent with this nor do I necessarily believe eating animal products is always bad.

But, I’d like to realign my relationship with food for my health and force myself to look at the ingredients that go into my meals.

Last summer I thought it would be interesting to test this out but it was too inconvenient. When Oprah dedicated an episode of her show to veganism last winter, I gave it more thought and decided to go forward. Also, documentaries like Food, Inc. and food enthusiast Michael Pollan’s work have long made eating healthy, local and organic food options easier for me.

I also have some experience with this; I’ve been a pescatarian for the past six years. This means I abstain from eating meat with the exception of seafood. After saying this, most people immediately ask if I eat chicken. No, chicken isn’t seafood! Really, I chose this lifestyle due to my dislike of the American mass-production-based meat industry.

Vegetarians are stricter and don’t eat any meat. Vegans are the most restricted, and the least common, because they eliminate all animal products from their diet. Milk, eggs and even

Current in Fishers

vegan grocery list Soy milk, almonds, clementines, avocadoes, tomatoes, whole-wheat pasta, tomatobasil sauce, tofurky, hummus, fresh salsa, vegan butter, bananas, tortilla wraps, rice, spinach, balsamic vinaigrette, celery, peanut butter

honey are all forbidden. Of course, with pescatarianism, vegetarianism and veganism, some players are stricter than others.

My biggest worry on this journey is that I somehow won’t get enough calories or won’t eat enough food. I’m trying to eat healthy and not just switch over to eating chips and bread.

Also, it’s pretty difficult! I’m only two days into my 30-day trial period with veganism and am quickly realizing just how tricky it is. It turns out most prepared foods have some traces of milk or eggs. It appears I’ll be doing a lot of cooking. Still, I find these issues to be quite manageable. Time will tell.

Do I really need flood insurance?

INSURANCE Q&A

By Jamie Ianigro Question from Juliana P. from Carmel: All this crazy rain lately has me worried that I need flood insurance. We have a basement and have never had any problems in the 10 years we’ve lived in the house. What do you think?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Issues: The first thing you need to know about flood insurance is what the policy covers. A flood insurance policy will protect your property from flooding accompanying hurricanes, heavy rains and melting snows. A standard homeowner’s policy specifically excludes coverage for all of these things. Some insurance carriers will add flood coverage with an endorsement to your homeowner’s policy, but usually you will have to purchase a separate policy. The other thing you need to know about flood insurance is what it doesn’t cover. Flood insurance doesn’t cover water that rises up through your plumbing. This type of loss is protected by using an endorsement to your homeowner’s policy called sewer and drain backup. A loss from sewer and drain backup can be just as damaging as a flood loss.

Coverage Recommendations: Most of Hamilton County sits in a moderate-to-low risk area when it comes to flood risk (you can check your risk at www.floodsmart.gov) and qualify for coverage at the preferred rate. Preferred rate policies are the lowest premiums available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This policy will protect your house and its contents

www.youarecurrent.com

starting as low as $129 per year. It takes 30 days after purchase for a flood policy to take effect, so don’t wait until the water starts rising.

Sewer and drain backup coverage is a simple endorsement that you may have already included on your homeowner’s policy. Standard coverage usually starts with limits of $5,000. If you have a finished basement, $5,000 is not going to get you back to where you would like to be.

We usually recommend upgrading that coverage to $10,000 to $25,000 to make sure you are adequately covered. Higher limits are definitely available. The cost of this endorsement varies by carrier, but is usually a very low percentage of the total cost of your policy.

Claim Prevention: The most important thing to know is when to cut and run. Your family’s safety is much more important than a house or anything you have in it. The steps you can take to prevent flood claims are pretty easy and you’re probably already doing them. First, make sure your sump pump is working and has an adequate battery-powered backup, in case it loses power. Next, make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris and obstructions. Last, make sure your downspouts are getting water far enough away from the house that the water is not returning.

You’ll Find It All Here.

Sexy pergola fun COMMENTARY

By Randy Sorrell Summer and SPF go hand in hand. Just as weather heats up, so does the discussion about sun safety. SPF refers to the sun protection factor mysteriously embedded in suntan lotion.

SPF is changing trends and peoples’ views on sun health.

Remember when having a bronze tan was super cool? The scientific reality is that pasty is the new cool and tan is anything except hot.

Holes in the ozone, global warming and an army of left-wing scientists are going to like my idea of SPF. My translation for SPF is Sexy Pergola Fun. Ours hovers over a massive grill station, it supports three hanging-baskets and it’s loaded with twinkly Christmas lights in another five months. It’s often the ceiling of our fun.

Think of a pergola as a dappled SPF 20. The not-so randomly staggered overhead members designed to prompt subtle shade also enhance the outdoor room sensation many are starved for. Specialized spacing calculated by an internet program can produce almost complete shade, if that is the objective.

To paint or not to paint is a prevailing debate. Painting immediately formalizes the structure and ties it to the home. Left natural, it leisurely blends in to the surrounding landscape and friends joining your party, just bring

Tile is the overwhelming style

a bottle of something.

Cedar is the material of choice for local pergolas. Pressure treated pine, Brazilian hardwood, synthetics and steel are commonly discussed alternatives, but they are rarely employed. Customization is easy with end details, arches in the beams and trim strategies on columns.

Most guys just don’t get it. “It doesn’t keep out the mosquitoes, the rain or the sun… I just don’t get it”. “Of course you don’t dear” is the impromptu reply. Weeks later the project is complete and an “ah ha” moment is born… he gets it. Face it ladies, most of us are cosmopolitan neophytes.

Still, the pesky sun penetrates too much for many, and more substantial solutions are necessary. “Solutioneering” has fueled custom lattice, outdoor drapes, formalized canopies and other edgy SPF safeguards.

Anticipate those in a few weeks. Until then have some sexy pergola fun!

COMMENTARY

By David Decker Ceramic and porcelain tile present the most mesmerizing array of style, texture and design options for any surface commonly underfoot.

Tile’s variety and consistency match up with its durability and easy maintenance to create a dependable, creative and classy bottom line in any room.

Although it’s appropriate anywhere, tile is typically chosen for kitchens, bathrooms and entryways. Choosing between ceramic and porcelain tile is determined by how well the available colors and textures complement the home improvement project’s design.

Ceramic and porcelain tiles share similarities, but there are differences in the materials, appearance and pricing.

Ceramic tile is made of clay and mixed with various minerals and water. It’s baked like clay and it’s glazed with a “design layer” that determines the color, design and texture.

Porcelain tile is composed of fine-grain sand and manufactured with pressure and heat, making it dense and durable. Porcelain will last longer than any other non-tile flooring. Its density makes it an easy surface to clean.

A beneficial feature for porcelain is its “through-color,” meaning the interior of the tile is the same color as the surface. Some porcelain tile has a different color glazing and design surface; however, throughcolor porcelain hides chips and scratches better than glazed ceramic tile. It’s harder than ceramic tile and it’s more difficult to cut, handle and install.

Both ceramic and porcelain are man-made and its thickness can be counted on, unlike natural stone variation.

Among the most ancient of fabricated flooring materials, tile has been made its mark on time and it never goes out of style.

David Decker is president of Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms, based in Carmel (877-252-1420, www.affordablekandb.com). Have a home improvement question?

Wishing him well COMMENTARY

By Dick Wolfsie I’ve probably called my friend, Bob Haverstick, at home several thousand times over the past 10 years. He never answers because he is on the phone making an appointment for a feisty octogenarian to get a rose tattoo on her shoulder, or arranging for a 93-year-old woman to hit a baseball during an Indians pre-game at Victory Field, or making it possible for a World War II veteran to board a battleship like the one he served on 60 years ago.

The list goes on. Since the year 2000, Bob has spent each day granting wishes to seniors and terminally ill adults through the organization he founded, Never Too Late. But he’s no Percy Ross. He never had the money nor the inclination to simply dole out cash. Instead, fulfillment of each final request has been the result of the vast array of contacts Bob has built over the years—people eager to assist in making dreams of our aging population come true. “I just connect the dots,” says Haverstick. “As soon as I hear what the wish is, the adrenalin flows….

There is no time to waste.” Indeed there isn’t, and Bob knows that many of the people who have benefitted from his time and generosity may soon pass on. “Knowing that we were able to tie up loose ends for someone is so important, even more important to the loved ones in that person’s life.”

In fact, it is usually friends and family who make the initial appeals. “People of that generation are so unselfish they wouldn’t think to ask anything for themselves.“ Which is why there were times when Bob thought his concept lacked merit. “Back in 2000 the wishes just weren’t coming in,” he remembers, “and I was ready to ditch the whole idea.” Enter former Indianapolis Star writer Bob Shaughnessy who highlighted the fledgling organization in his column, including the newest wish Bob was working on: Edwin Jackson, suffering with Alzheimer’s, wanted to get back on a tractor like the one he used when he was a farmer. “The man was visibly affected by the whole thing. He was young again. He was renewed.”

And so was Bob. He pressed for more than another decade. Some of his favorite wishes?

Albert and Esther McDaniel who wanted to celebrate their 60th anniversary by skydiving; Eloise Overdorf whose dream was to ride in a dragster (she was upset they wouldn’t let her drive); and then there was Jimmy Dunham, the on-board mechanic from the 1935 winning racecar at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He wanted to
