‘A roadmap for developers’

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

The Town of Fishers is proposing tackling downtown redevelopment with a type of zoning code that puts the emphasis on what buildings look like, rather than what’s in them.

On Sept. 9, the Community Development Dept. presented a draft of the Form Based Code that targets downtown – specifically growth the Nickel Plate District – land and would be the vehicle for the town’s Downtown 2030 Plan, which focuses on the area being walkable, among other issues.

Community Development Director Tom Dickey said five issues were key for downtown redevelopment: land assemblage, parking, development risk, needed infrastructure and zoning.

This new code could go before the Fishers Town Council for a first reading as soon as Oct. 7.

The code is meant to take a crack at zoning from the viewpoint of how buildings look, rather than a more traditional take on zoning that focuses on what types of uses could be built in an area.

Town Manager Scott Fadness later said the code acts as “a roadmap for developers” and focuses on how buildings, streets and sidewalks work together.

Dale Davis, a planner, detailed a concept of what the code could lead to at a specific downtown site – a single multi-use building that would actually look like four and include a parking garage.

“We’re trying to make it so we don’t have a hodge-podge of building frontages,” he said.

Rachel Johnson, asst. director of planning, and other community development staff members briefed the audience on the Form Based Code.

While straight form-based codes only address the aesthetics of zoning, what is being proposed will have some prohibited uses.

The Nickel Plate District is further broken down into multiple neighborhoods with four designations that give way to what uses and building types are appropriate. Those designations are the Downtown Core, Neighborhood Center, Municipal Center and Highway Center, each with their own characteristics.

While a defined list of prohibited uses wasn’t given, some examples of legal nonconforming uses were brought up, including that a homeowner could completely rebuild if their property is destroyed by an “act of God.” In attendance were members of both the Town of Fishers and Fall Creek Board of Zoning Appeals, the Plan Commission and the Fishers Town Council.

Fishers could be back-up

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

A facility that could be critical for all of Hamilton County in an emergency is planned to take up residence in Fishers.

A project that costs $1 to 1.2 million, a secondary dispatch center would be at Station 92, 11595 Brooks School Rd. public safety Town Manager Scott Fadness said the center could be set up in two different ways. Both options mean the center would be switched on and ready to go.

The first option would have it “mothballed,” meaning that no personnel would be working at the center unless disaster befell the main dispatch in Noblesville.

The second option calls for the Fishers center to be staffed, with calls being split between both locations. Noblesville dispatch would take on police calls, the heftier chunk of emergency calls made in Hamilton County. Fishers dispatch would take fire and EMS calls.

In addition to the center, a third back-up for dispatch would be housed at Station 92. Fadness said a bus that functions as a mobile communications center would be that third option.

He said the conversation to have such a dis-

patch center in Fishers came up because the town was looking into renovating Station 92, making the secondary dispatch both geographically and financially advantageous.

Hamilton County’s secondary dispatch is currently located in Carmel.

“I am not opposed to the backup dispatch center moving to Fishers as it would free up some much needed space for city operations,” Camel Fire Chief Matt Hoffman stated.

A memorandum of understanding would be the next step.

Funding for the project is a little bit more complicated. According to Fadness, Fishers did not pay its share of the six months for dispatch services in 2012 to the county because of plans to build the center. Fishers must pay back $468,000.

Fadness said Carmel, Westfield and Noblesville will pay their share of the secondary dispatch cost to the county first, because Fishers owes the county. The remainder of the cost comes back to Fishers. Fadness said the town may not see money back for two years. What Fishers receives back from those municipalities is dictated by the volume of their calls.

Station 92 was originally intended to close in June.

School board sets goals for year Commentary by Larry Lannan

Setting goals is something many of us do on a regular basis. The local school board has established its set of goals for this school year.

At the Sept. 9 meeting, the education Hamilton Southeastern School Board enacted three main overarching goals for the 2013-2014 academic session: • Become a world-class school system for the 21st century teacher and leader • Develop and implement a strategic plan on how to address the Indiana Schools’ educational funding crisis • Increase the effectiveness of the Board of School Trustees through collaboration, communication and advocacy.

The vote was 6-0 approving the goals. The seventh school board member, Ron Wilson, voted to abstain.

Wilson told his colleagues on the board he views the goals as “too open, not specific.” He made clear he’s not disagreeing with the goals or saying they are wrong, he just decided to abstain.

Other board members said these goals were discussed at a board retreat and work sessions.

There was significant discussion about them.

The board also has developed more specific goals tied to these three providing details of specific actions to be taken by the board this

school year.

I understand Wilson’s concern that the goals are very general. But his abstention speaks to something I’ve witnessed in my experience as a journalist and a civil servant.

Getting agreement among any group of seven people is not an easy task. Everyone comes into the process with her or his specific ideas of what any set of goals should contain.

I served on a federal government management team charged with the task of reworking the goals and mission of an entire operating division.

It also required a great deal of give and take among a bunch of seasoned government managers that all had experience working in the private sector. All of us had to give up some strongly held beliefs to get to a product we could all accept.

This is the process the school board has undergone. The members have decided to enact these general goals with specific actions tied to them.

The board does have an idea how it plans to move toward a world class school system, how it plans to implement the plan on school funding and how it plans to collaborate, communicate and advocate.

The group does this on Sept. 11 not as a political statement, but as an act of “pure thankfulness.”

Gene Schwartzkopf, 53, is a Brownsburg resident and veteran who joined up with Laidlaw.

A group of friends stood on the 116th Street I-69 overpass to remind motorists to never forget the first responders that lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, the soldiers that would perish and those making sacrifices – firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel and military personnel – in the line of duty today. This is the eighth year Fishers resident Jim Laidlaw, 59, has spent Sept. 11 on the bridge. He started doing so with a fellow veteran who moved to Colorado. Other members joined up. Marcy Homeleski, 61, later joined the group when she learned her son was being deployed to Iraq.

For the Maasai, the journey to manhood involves slaying lions.

Todd Zimmerman and James Sinkua have an ambitious vision to bring two cultures together

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Fishers resident Todd Zimmerman wants to broaden the community’s world view, and he plans to do it with a partCover story ner’s help from the other side of the world.

“What we’re trying to defeat is this: In our country we’re great at giving and or sending stuff – money, food, aid – but we kind of then forget because we don’t experience,” he said.

A young-adult group leader with White River Christian Church, Zimmerman travelled to Kenya twice in the past three years and met community organizer James Sinkua, a Maasai warrior who calls the southern half of the nation home. Since then they have been cultivating the vision for their program, which hasn’t been named.

“We really hit it off and had a lot of things in common,” Zimmerman said. “(We) wanted to build our communities up, both of us. I want to help build Fishers up and also build global connections with our young people especially, so they can see the bigger world out there instead of just a suburb.”

The program would create the modern version of pen pals with Fishers children and Kenyan children communicating through the online video and phone calling program Skype so they can learn about each other and help solve community problems.

Sand Creek Intermediate School student Liza Mathew, 10, had the chance to see a presentation from the duo at her school last week.

“You would have the privilege to meet someone new who has a totally different culture,” she said of talking with Kenyan students, “and we could both learn about each other and how their lives are and how lucky each other are because they get something the other person doesn’t.”

While their cultures are worlds apart, Sinkua and Zimmerman aim to bring them together through collaboration in business, education, tourism and other challenges.

Cultural differences • 42 tribes inhabit Kenya.

• The Maasai are are nomadic and located in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania.

• Life expectancy is about 70 years.

• Age is not typically tracked by year.

connections all over the globe for the program.

With the idea in its infancy, he reached out to the Hamilton Southeastern School District and joined a parent committee as part of the district’s HSE21 initiative, which focuses on technology and

21st Century skills. Last year Sinkua spoke to students at Hoosier Road Elementary School.

Sinkua spent part of the past two weeks visiting schools, including Hoosier Road Elementary and Sand Creek Intermediate, to talk about his culture and start encouraging the idea.

“We want to connect the students of the schools here to schools in Kenya and beyond,” he said.

He said speaking to community leaders, which are also planned to be brought into fold, is a valuable “opportunity that I don’t take for granted.”

He enlightens students on what the culture is like along the way.

Connecting cultures Sinkua’s tribe, the Maasai, is one that holds onto traditions. Typical adults work as shepherds, and farmers. They keep cows for milk and survival, and goats are used for meat. Houses are made from sticks and cow dung. Kids go to school daily.

The Maasais’ social life is transitional as members get older and pass milestones. To become a warrior, Sinkua had to kill a lion using a spear and shield. Killing a lion brings prominence to an individual as well as the individual’s age group, and is followed by celebration. This occurs twice and typically during the age range of 13- to 18-years-old. A large group goes after the lion, and the first to spear it gets to keep the mane, and the second keeps the tail. Sinkua still has a tail, which slides over the top of his spear.

But for a tribe rooted in tradition, the Maasai are reaching globally to solve problems, a major one being a lack of clean and safe drinking water. Today, their warrior ways are levied toward solving community problems like poverty.

Zimmerman had a chance to part of a Maasai celebration.

“When you step outside of your routine, you discover stuff yourself,” he said.

Zimmerman can be contacted at Zimmerman. toddp@gmail.com for more information, and you may follow him on Twitter (@toddpzimmerman).

ACA denial It is our position that the state of Indiana should be properly prepared for the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. While the majority of Americans indicate dissatisfaction with the impending law, a repeal of the Affordable Care Act does not look promising. Perhaps the decision by the state not to create its own insurance exchange was an effort toward wishful thinking that an appeal would be granted.

Maybe it was a budget issue or just plain defiance. As the saying goes, denial is more than a river.

It is uncertain if the state of Indiana’s decision to default to federal government management of its health care exchange will be a good one. The dominos are starting to fall as major employers begin the process of dropping coverage for spouses of employees.

Businesses are cutting back the hours of part-time workers to avoid paying penalties for mandated health insurance coverage. The spigot is just starting to leak with no real incentives for employers to continue to offer health care benefits. Hopefully uninsured Hoosiers forced into a health care exchange will be well informed and receive the kind of “Hoosier Hospitality” from the Feds that they were denied in their home state.

Or should I say, Bond, James Bond.

In spite of a history that has often been misogynistic, Ian Fleming’s secret agent is just as popular now as he was during the cold war that spawned him. Suave, debonair, and more than a little dangerous, Bond represents the man that many men want to be and the man many women want to be with – at least as the song goes “for a little while.”

What is it about these kinds of figures that appeals to us? It is more than the exotic locations, fast cars and expensive suits. Bond represents a live-on-the-edge kind of lone wolf life that very few, if any, real people chose to live. Instead, we choose stable, almost sedate, homes, families and careers. Even the most pedestrian

of travel, sartorial or domestic statement can stand out as exotic. A filled passport, tailored suit or custom home is far from commonplace.

We cling to sameness, all the while living vicariously through these larger-than-life characters.

The gap between how people imagine that they might live and how they actually choose to spend their time has long been of interest.

Perhaps it is the specific function of fantasy to give us the opportunity to live a life so removed from our own that we experience the thrill of it without any of the consequence. But does it ever make sense to bring our imagined existences to life? Can it ever be wise to invite pretend danger to become real? For now, I’m satisfied with a martini – shaken not stirred.

As the economy continues to ease and Fishers heads from town to city status, construction is bubbling up at several locations.

We like that. Most visible, perhaps, is the Flaherty & Collins Properties mixed-use development, which is getting under way along 116th street in front of Town Hall. Yes, the green space and a handful of trees are disappearing, but replacing that stripe of nature will be, we hope, thriving businesses on Fishers’ busiest in-town thoroughfare. What does that mean? For one thing, it means more tax dollars for Fishers, which would help at least support, or possibly fund, other necessary projects as the growth continues. Certainly green space is important, but keeping up with the demands of a growing municipality is more important, in our opinion.

••• The @Meijer #Pastabowl2013 on Twitterverse pulled in more than 2,000 pounds of pasta for local pantries and Second Helpings.

This is the byproduct of area students at work for those less fortunate, and we salute the effort. There’s at least one more game and a chance for other schools to wrestle the trophy for most pasta collected from the collective hands of Fishers High School. Last year was the inaugural run for this philanthropic contest, and it featured five football games for pasta collection/competition, and the effort still didn’t bring in as much as 2,000 pounds. It’s quite a feat. Which school will top it?

••• The efforts to help the families displaced by the recent Sandstone Village fire have been amazing. One group organized efforts for a family and has raised almost $7,000 and so much clothing/furniture that there has been a call for folks to pump the breaks on material donations so inventory may be taken. This is the essence of community. Well done.

Resolutions a work in progress Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Um, have you looked at your New Year’s resolutions lately? I made the unfortunate mistake of doing so just this morning. Out of five goals for 2013, and with less than four humor months left, I can only draw a faint pencil line through one, maybe two. Let’s assess.

Atop my list was painting our canary-yellow living and family rooms. I’ve wanted them changed since the day we made an offer on this house, more than three years ago, but I’ve done nothing to amend the situation apart from a one-time pulling of a paint-chip strip at Lowe’s in the brownish-beige category. Consequently, I’m calling an audible and will be swapping out “décor re-do” with “learn to shoot a gun.” I just read a very disturbing end-of-the-world novel and feel it’s the least I can do to protect my family when the looters/zombies arrive. Moving on.

Another resolution was to swear less. This one was an epic fail, especially during the summer months. I simply cannot be expected to “keep it clean” with four children crammed into an un-air-conditioned mini-van while dealing with the construction nightmare on U.S. 31 in Westfield. How the freak am I supposed to get to Target gosh darn it?

I also promised to cut back on my soda intake and actually did so during Lent. No wait, eliminating diet Coke only worked because I subbed-in

diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. But I do think I drink a tad less of the fizzy now, thanks in a large part to my new addiction to McDonald’s sweet tea. Super-size that mother!

One thing I can definitely cross off is, “stop being so critical of my oldest daughter.” I am now very aware of what I say about her hair styles and clothing choices, and have done a remarkable job of keeping the judgmental bullcrap bottled up.

As long as she is relatively clean and her booty cheeks aren’t hanging out, I support her unique and interesting fashion statements. You go, girl!

I might also get away with checking off “make new friends.” I did, after all, join a yoga class last spring, and have actually talked a few times to the other dance moms. (Yes, I’m a dance mom.)

But I must admit I would rather curl up with a good book than go out to a party with strangers. Maybe not the aforementioned doomsday hardback, because that just freaked me out, but a nice smut novel fireside always makes for a fine evening.

There is still plenty of time to meet my goals.

I’m not giving up the ghost yet, but I do feel a bit behind schedule. Hopefully you’re faring better with your own resolutions. Peace out.

Brain freeze Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I was thinking about thinking the other day. I didn’t come up with anything profound, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

Mary Ellen often says to me humor after a slip up on my part, “What were you thinking?” Admittedly, I probably wasn’t thinking at all, so I resent the sarcasm. My wife will also direct me, especially if am looking for a lost wallet or car keys to “think hard.” Okay. I will try, but at my age I don’t want to hurt myself.

I must overthink things because when I wrote my book Mornings with Barney, Heidi, my proofreader, did a word search through my final manuscript and found the phrase “I think” about 60 times in 220 pages. “I think Barney knew he was on television” “I … think I had the most fun job in TV” … What was I thinking? “It’s a good thing you have a proofreader,” you might say to me. Ya think?

Yes, I think a lot of people, especially writers, rely on the word “think” because we lack self-assurance, and you just read a very good example of that in this sentence. Meteorologists never say, “I think it is going to rain.” Maybe they should. A little humility goes a long way. My

barber never ever says, “I think this time I’ll give you a good haircut.” Come to think of it, I wish he would say that.

Over the years my wife has made the mistake of asking my advice. “Dick, do you think we need to buy a new dishwasher?” “Let me think about it,” is my standard response. This is a bunch of hooey, of course. I’m not going to think about that. What I am really going to do is totally forget about the question until Mary Ellen asks me again and then I’ll tell her that after careful reflection I am going to leave it up to her. Occasionally, I do say, “I’ll sleep on it,” which never happens because I hardly ever sleep on anything except a full stomach.

Consider this: “If you think this column wasn’t any good, you have another thing coming.”

Thing? Don’t you have another “think” coming?

Who invented that stupid phrase, anyway? Some government think tank, I’m sure.

I think I have written just about enough on this topic. Actually, I am quite sure of it.

Holiday hurry Commentary by Mike Redmond On Sept. 1, at a grocery store in Indianapolis, I made a right turn coming out of the cereal aisle and ran smack into three guys humor hurriedly stocking shelves with Halloween candy.

Let’s review: Date of incident: Sept. 1.

Date of Halloween: Oct. 31.

Time between the two: plenty.

It seems someone is in a hurry.

Not that I have anything against Halloween, or anything against candy. I like them both and the fact that they are inextricably connected … well, that’s just a bonus. But I still think getting the candy out before Labor Day is rushing things a little.

I also think it’s just asking for trouble. It is in my case, anyway. Here’s what I mean: I try to practice the Golden Rule of Halloween candy-giving. That is, I always give away candy that I would want to get, were I parading around in a costume extorting goodies from strangers.

Anyway, the good stuff is my response to the disappointments of kidhood when you would go to someone’s house and wind up with a handful of war-surplus rock candy or a wrinkly apple. Call me a purist, but I don’t think Halloween should be the time when you give away something you found while re-organizing your refrigerator’s produce drawer.

So whoever comes to my house gets little candy bars of the type that I favored as a kid:

Milky Way, primarily, but also Snickers, Three Musketeers, Mounds, Almond Joy, and of course good old Hershey Bars. It wouldn’t be Halloween without bite-size Hershey bars.

OK, yes it would. But I like Hershey bars so they’re staying.

There’s more to the story. There usually is.

Little candy bars, you see, are the great foolers of the confection industry. You see a bowl of fun-size Milky Ways and what you’re really looking at are dietary land mines. “Oh, they’re fun size,” you think. “One or two won’t hurt.” But one or two turns into six or seven or fifteen and before you know it, you’ve had so much fun size fun that you’ve gained three fun size pounds.

And I’m talking in one evening.

Now, to get back to the grocery: Is anyone who buys Halloween candy in early September really going to leave it in the bag, unmolested, until the end of October? Highly doubtful. And so the old fun size conundrum begins and lasts for six weeks, which means by the time Halloween gets here you’ll be a blimp. If you’re me, I mean.

And all because we’re rushing the season.

Halloween candy before Labor Day, indeed. And that’s not the worst of it.

On Aug. 31, I got a Christmas catalog.

Northside Nights Restaurant Week returns

By Nancy Edwards news@currentinwestfield.com

During this year’s annual fall Northside Nights Restaurant Week, foodies have more choices than ever. From gluten-free fries and vegetarian pizzas to filet mignons and DINING scrumptious miniature desserts, even the pickiest eaters will find something to savor from the 40 restaurants participating this fall.

Each restaurant will be offering three-course meals for $30. Some will also include threecourse $20 lunch meals or even serve two people for $25. “(Restaurant Week) is a great way to get foodies out and guests who haven’t been out here before,” said Rokeena Williams, sales manager for Seasons 52, 8650 Keystone Crossing, Indianapolis. Williams said that this event, which is happening now through Sept. 29, allows guests to enjoy a “fine dining feel at a casual price.”

After chowing down on chilled lobster and shrimp spring rolls for an appetizer, followed by an organic field greens salad and cedar roasted salmon and vegetables, guests may feel as though they’re too full to eat one of the awardwinning desserts at Seasons 52. No-guilt, individual-sized desserts at just 300 calories allows guests to satisfy that sweet tooth. The only problem will be trying to decide on the dessert: chocolate peanut butter swirl or a Starbuck’sinspired chocolate caramel macchiato.

Harry and Izzy’s Castleton location, 4050 E. 82nd St., Indianapolis, will also feature menu options of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. Harry and Izzy’s features their world-famous St. Elmo

Harry and Izzy’s features its world-famous St. Elmo shrimp cocktail, among other gluten-free choices including peppercorn steak salad, house smoked pork chops, brick oven baked pizzas and “Colton” fries. The fries are named after Operating Partner Jeff Smith’s son, Colton, who wanted French fries that were gluten-free.

“We’re good about allergies here; our foods are never cross-contaminated,” said Leanna Chroman, training director for Harry and Izzy’s, which is a family-owned restaurant that uses local products.

Guests participating with Restaurant Week may make a donation to Veggie U (www.veggieu.org/), a nonprofit organization that provides

teachers with Classroom Garden Kits and a five-week science curriculum for elementary and special needs classrooms, according to Susan Decker, CEO of Susan Decker Media.

“The restaurants felt it was important to give back to the community,” Decker said. “The funds raised will allow us to donate some of the kits to local schools that we will help choose at the end of the campaign.”

Other participating restaurants include: Chef Mike’s Charcoal Grill, Late Harvest, Cobblestone Grill, Eddie Merlot’s, Capri Restaurant, Stone Creek Dining Zionsville, Bella Vita, Smee’s Place, MacKenzie River Pizza (in Castleton and Carmel), Hall’s Castleton Grill, Stanford’s, 1881 Grille, OAKLEY’s bistro, Sullivan’s Steakhouse, J. Razzos Restaurant, Scotty’s Brewhouse, The Local, Peterson’s, Pizzology, Ruth’s Chris, Sangiovese Ristorante, Mitchell’s Fish Market, The Melting Pot, Shiraz, Champps, Stone Creek Dining (Noblesville and Zionsville), Sahm’s Restaurant & Pub, Nickel Plate Bar & Grill, Hellas Café, The Gathering, Arni’s Restaurant, Maggiano’s, Ocean Prime, The Loft at Traders Point Creamery, J. Hamman Prime, Simeri’s and Matt the Miller’s Tavern.

Restaurant Week’s official hotel partner is the Marten House Hotel, 1801 W. 86th St., Indianapolis. The hotel is offering a $71 per night room rate (plus tax) when people use promo code NNGT13.

In addition, the Center for the Performing Arts, 355 City Center Dr., Carmel, will be providing special ticket rates for three shows: Lang Lang on Sept. 19, Craig Morgan, Sept. 2, and Fernando Otero on Sept. 29.

Cooking tip: When cooking meat in the oven first preheat the oven to 500 degrees. When oven in preheat place your meat in for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the size, then drop the oven down to 350 degrees or preferred cooking temperature. Doing this will help sear the outside of the meat locking in juice, flavor and providing a wonderful caramelized color to the meat.

Easing your daughter’s anxiety Commentary by Courtney Browne, MD

Scheduling the first visit with a gynecologist can make many teen girls and younger women feel anxious. Most aren’t prevention sure what to expect, and there is usually apprehension about the physical exam. Moms can be a trusted source of information and a good resource for daughters who are preparing to see a gynecologist.

One common question young women ask is “when should I go for my first exam?” All women should have their first pelvic exam and Pap smear by age 21. Your daughter may need to visit a gynecologist earlier if she is experiencing menstrual problems, such as irregular periods or heavy menstrual bleeding. Your family doctor or pediatrician may recommend consulting a gynecologist for conditions such as pelvic infections, ovarian cysts and breast problems. Parents also seek information and counseling from gynecologists on the HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine, which most doctors recommend for girls between the ages of 11 and 12 – and definitely before a woman becomes sexually active.

When choosing a doctor for your daughter, remember that some girls may feel more com-

The free event offers information from more than 20 health care providers, eight seminars by medical doctors and specialists, tests and screenings, obstacle course and Radio Disney (10:30 a.m. to noon Sept. 21). Information will be available on aging, foot care, eye care, ear care, orthodontics, dental care, exercise, mental health, meditation, hospice and more. Riverview Hospital will be conducting free screenings for oxygen saturation and Co2, colorectal, glucose, sleep apnea and blood pressure. Screenings that include a nominal charge are flu shots, cardiac risk assessment and baseline EKG. The expo is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 21 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 22.

fortable seeing a gynecologist with experience treating teenagers and younger women. Typically, these doctors more fully understand the fears and anxiety associated with the first office visit and approach the topic in a way that makes adolescents and younger women feel more at ease. It’s not unusual for gynecologists who have experience with younger women to spend several minutes just talking to the patient to help build a foundation of trust. It also can be comforting for girls and young women to know that in some cases, a physical exam may not be necessary depending on the issue. For example, many infections can be diagnosed with a simple urine test.

As most grown women remember, the female body undergoes a great deal of change during adolescence and early adulthood. Your daughter will likely have a lot of questions about her changing body. As a mom, you can help by keeping the lines of communication open and engaging in open and honest conversations when new issues or circumstances arise.

IU Health Saxony earns ACR accreditation – Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in Breast Ultrasound and Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology. Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of internal body parts to help physicians diagnose and better treat medical conditions. Ultrasound imaging of the breast produces a picture of the internal structures of the breast. “We are proud to receive the ACR Gold Standard of Accreditation. This accreditation by the American College of Radiology provides our patients the assurance that they receive the highest level of image quality with the highest level of safety standards,” Nancy Davison, manager of Imaging Services stated. Achieving this accreditation is very timely with the start of a new Breast Care program that opened in August. With the addition of Patricia Rae Kennedy, MD, FACS, and Linda K. Han, MD, FACS, two breast surgical oncology specialists, to the existing Women’s Imaging services at IU Health Saxony Hospital, women now have convenient access to expert breast care and the assurance of a high quality service.

Beat boredom with simple strategy Commentary by CJ McClanahan

It’s been said that I lack patience and have a very short attention span.

While I don’t necessarily enjoy this criticism, rarely do I disagree move the needle with the assessment. I want things done my way and at my pace. In addition, when I get bored, I want to move on to something else that interests me as quickly as possible.

Just ask my wife, my staff and my friends.

Guess who else is like me - most entrepreneurs, sales professionals and small business owners.We like new things. This is not a character flaw – it’s who we are.

However, 10 years of working with executives has taught me that there can be a significant downside to this personality profile. Because we get bored with the same routine over and over again, we tend to overlook the simple fundamentals that always lead to success.

For example, this type of individual typically dreads the mundane staff meeting. The last thing they want to do is review the status of projects, customers or staff members. As a result, these meetings are almost always postponed, rescheduled or shortened. This leads to an inconsistent and unpredictable culture.

Next, an entrepreneur’s obsession with the future often results in the lack of any meaningful measurement of the past. This behavior results in a poor understanding of costs, very little appreciation for the value of any particular customer and no sense for a sales pipeline.

DISPATCHES Dow spikes – The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a little jump in connection with receding Syria concerns, according to CNNMoney. It saw a 140 point addition Sept.

10. – www.money.cnn.com Netflix a big performer – Everyone’s favorite TV and movie binge provider, Netflix, is performing solidly. Its shares have seen a big increase – 218 percent – this year, according to Forbes. – www.forbes.com

As you can imagine, it can be difficult to work with this type of an individual. While there are a ton of great ideas, it’s hard to understand which initiatives are the most important. Critical details fall through the cracks and people get frustrated with dozens of partially finished projects getting pushed further down with every new brainstorming session.

If this sounds familiar, don’t panic. There is hope. These three simple tactics have helped me to gain focus and led to tons of progress.

First, get clear about what’s really important and never forget that everything can’t be important. Sometimes knowing what not to do is more important that another great idea.

Next, develop a list of the weekly tactics that absolutely must become a habit in your professional start. If you’re not sure where to start, try these. Plan the week in advance, hold a regular staff meeting and review the satisfaction of your top 10 clients.

Finally, the best leaders are self-aware and recognize that they make a ton of mistakes. They end every day by asking themselves one simple question – “If I could do anything differently, what would it be?”

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Dictionary adds ‘bitcoin,’ ‘twerk’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I have written often about language as a fluid, evolving system. Dictionaries – the guide to the system – are obviously grammar guy compelled to evolve as well.

New words are added yearly, typically in large batches, after a sufficient amount of time and “mainstreaming.” In the 1980s, when cosmetic lipoplasty began to hit the scene (the procedure had been around for a while before that, of course), dictionaries added the word we all know it by: liposuction. In 1990, in what I can only imagine was hailed as a long-overdue recognition of modern life, the word “paperclip” was officially recognized. I wonder what we called it before that?

In August, we got another batch of words added to the Oxford English Dictionary … and I’d be lying if I said some of them didn’t worry me a bit. But, language rolls ever onward I suppose.

In the spirit of progress, here are a few of the more … interesting … words Oxford has chosen to recognize: • Jorts: Denim shorts.

• Emoji: A small, digital image or icon used to express and idea or emotion.

• TL;DR: This is an acronym made popular on Internet forums like Reddit. It stands for “too long; didn’t read.”

The Internet demands brevity, apparently.

• Selfie: A photograph taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam.

You may remember a number of congressmen who’ve seen their careers implode over ill-advised selfies.

• Twerk: Dancing in a sexually provocative manner.

If you saw Miley Cyrus’s VMA performance, that was “twerking” … among other things.

• Bitcoin: A digital, non-centralized currency.

Bitcoins are used as a peer-to-peer currency, and as such don’t require a bank or other institution for transactions.

I’m glad the OED has made a point of recognizing contemporary language usage, no matter how banal some of it may seem. Time will eventually weed out the worthwhile words, and leave the rest by the wayside. At least I keep telling myself that.

In this region in central Turkey, fairy chimneys can become churches, tunnels can become cities and the incomprehensible can become settled theology.

Cappadocia lies north of the Taurus Mountains, where a series of volcanic eruptions produced a plateau made of thick lava layers. Water and wind then eroded the lava, producing thousands of cone-shaped structures called “fairy chimneys,” some more than 120 feet tall and a few balancing hard caps on their improbably pointed peaks.

For millennia, residents of Cappadocia have hollowed out the soft lava of the fairy chimneys to create homes resembling stone tepees, the porosity of the lava providing excellent insulation. After Christianity had come to Cappadocia through the missionary visits of Paul, the interiors of fairy chimneys became churches.

The soft lava of Cappadocia also facilitated the expansion of tunnels into at least 36 full blown underground cities, some extending ten stories below the surface. Originally used by the Hittites almost 4,000 years ago, these cities were occupied by early Christians, perhaps to hide from

Roman persecutors.

After Christianity became legal, Cappadocians helped resolve a theological controversy. When the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. decreed that God and Jesus were of the same substance [homoousios], many Christians objected, arguing that God and Jesus were obviously different.

Theologians from Cappadocia, trained in Greek philosophy and called the “Cappadocian Fathers,” taught that things having the same substance can also have different expressions [hypostases], pointing to gold coins made from the same ingot but having faces of different persons. This conception of “God in three persons,” ratified by the Council of Constantinople in 381 A.D., ended the argument for many Christians.

Today’s visitors to Cappadocia can sleep in hotels carved inside fairy chimneys, tour underground cities with kitchens still black from cooking smoke and admire brilliantly colored 10th century frescoes in dark churches. And people for whom the Holy Trinity is important can thank the Cappadocian Fathers for at least trying to make it more understandable.

The gentleman, his home and leather

Commentary by Vicky Earley

I am always impressed by the gentleman who walks through my studio door in search of a better living space. decorating This is not a man who crosses the threshold with great reluctance because of pressure from a wife or girlfriend. This is a man who is not coerced and he is not in search of the stereotypical “man cave”.

No, this gentleman walks in of his own accord and brings with him a strong identity and what he hopes to achieve in his home.

This man recognizes that his environment impacts how he feels about the space that he lives in day to day, works from, and entertains in.

He wants his home pulled together to reflect who he is … not who an Ikea catalog says he should be.

The element of comfort is critical for a room that speaks to the male of the species. A chair or sofa has to be deep enough to comfortably accommodate the longer upper legs of men. Men are less likely than the women in their lives to curl up on a sofa so sitting upright in comfort is mandatory!

Leather is probably the main element for a masculine space. No longer is

leather relegated to sofas, chairs and ottomans.

Masculine decor can include something as striking as a leather wrapped chest that is embellished with nail heads for a stylish twist.

Rich wood is also a strong element for masculine space. It’s not too difficult to imagine a rich library feel complete with rich coffered wood walls or ceiling, bookcases from floor to ceiling

and mahogany furnishings. I think a Labrador Retriever just sauntered into my imaginary room with a pair of slippers in his mouth!

When considering masculine décor, a nostalgic scent of pipe tobacco can almost be imagined and it is a style that wears well on its own, but works nicely with modern touches. Textiles reminiscent of a fine suit blend beautifully with rich paisleys and plaids.

Men will almost always gravitate toward deeper colors. Charcoal gray, slate blue, merlot and chocolate brown are a few of my “go-to’s”.

Complicated colors that are the result of undertones are the richest and often are not the most appealing at the paint store.

Relevant artwork goes along way with male decorating. Works that reflect the occupant’s interest are outstanding choices. An avid sailor will revel in paintings of boats and shorelines while sports fans will appreciate a touch of memorabilia, such as framed jerseys or autographed photos. Globes and maps will speak to the adventure in a man while framed diplomas or certificates work as well.

And don’t forget about the Labrador Retriever!

BEAT BLOAT! Limit or avoid the following foods and beverages to help keep that bloated feeling away!

Dairy products: Lactose intolerance can range from mild to severe, but either way, gas is usually a symptom. Try limiting the amount of milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream you eat and see if that helps. If it does, you don't have to ditch dairy altogether. Drink lactose-free milk, and, if needed, take Lactaid pills to help your body digest milk products.

Apples and pears: These fruits contain about four grams of fiber per serving, so they're an excellent source of soluble fiber, but they can also wreak havoc on sensitive tummies. Don't avoid them entirely though. Eating half or a quarter of these fruits along with other foods will allow you to enjoy their flavor without paying the price.

Beans: This magical fruit contains oligosaccharide, a type of sugar, which is not normally digestible by our bodies. When this sugar reaches your large intestine, the bacteria go to town eating it up, and the gas you produce is an unfortunate byproduct.

Broccoli, cabbage, and asparagus: These highly nutritious veggies are often avoided because many people don't appreciate the odoriferous outcome. The reason these veggies cause gas is due to raffinose. This sugar goes undigested until it reaches the large intestine, where methane-producing bacteria ferment it. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do to cut down on the gas they produce, but eating them in moderation and with other foods should help prevent a bloated belly afterward.

Fatty foods: According to the Mayo Clinic, "Fat slows down digestion, giving food more time to ferment.'" It also increases the sensation of fullness.

Salty foods: Sodium may not cause gas, but it definitely makes you retain water. Cut back on the salt you add to foods, and be a label reader to make sure you're not exceeding 2,300 mg a day.

Gum and hard candy: When you chew or suck on these, you end up swallowing more often, which means you're probably swallowing more air.

Carbonated beverages: Bubbly drinks such as soda and beer release carbon dioxide,

EXPIRES 9/30/13 FEATHERS FOR FALL FASHION You don't have to dress like Big Bird with feathers head to toe to be on-trend this season with the fowl-inspired craze! Feathers are definitely the must-have statement piece this fall. Here we have a few great ways to wear 'em!

A great feather dress is the perfect party ensemble. It has movement for dancing, a cinched waist for a polished look and just enough sparkle to make you stand out.

A feathered necklace pairs really well with a simple tee or classic button down when you're dressing for work, but it also looks amazing with a deep v-neck party dress when stepping out on the town.

A fancy feather high heel with a nice sleek pair of skinny jeans is another great pairing for a night on the town.

EXFOLIATING ADVICE Exfoliating boosts your skins natural radiance while evening skin tone, unclogging pores and diminishing fine lines.

Keep in mind however, over scrubbing can cause irritation and breakouts.

For oily skin, you can use a product to exfoliate every day, as long as it is meant for daily use. If your skin is normal or dry, exfoliating two or three times per week is sufficient.

To be sure you are on a proper exfoliating schedule, consult with a trained esthetician. Salon 01 estheticians are trained to recommend the proper products for use at home, as well as suggest a regular maintenance routine which could include weekly or monthly facials, and a series of microdermabrasions to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy all year! Salon 01 estheticians are now booking appointments, and reservations are filling up fast!

New single level island opens up kitchen in remodel

Commentary by Larry Greene

Existing Kitchen: Though they had lived there for less than a year, the third owners of this East Carmel home built in 2002 were ready for a kitchen remodel. blueprint for “The kitchen was improvement original, and the appliances were not working well,” the homeowner stated. “The countertops needed to be replaced. The kitchen was the part of the house that needed the most work when we bought it.”

Open Floor Plan: The kitchen is truly the center of the home in this open-concept floor plan.

The back wall of the home is mostly windows and overlooks Plum Creek golf course. Natural light abounds.

“Because the space is so open, our designer incorporated the style of our furniture and décor into the kitchen design,” the homeowner stated.

New Island Design: The original kitchen had a bi-level island that cut off the room visually.

The new design called for one single level island top, which the homeowners were not sure about at first.

“The kitchen is so open, that we were worried the new design would make the space feel too big. Once it was installed, we were so happy we made that change. It brings all of the rooms together,” the homeowner stated.

Natural Stone Finishes: To complement the

Before

Venetian Gold Santana granite countertops, 3 inch by 6 inch tumbled marble tile was installed in a subway pattern.

“The original backsplash was in a diamond pattern, and we wanted something more contemporary,” the homeowner stated. “The decorative tile above the cooktop is similar to a mosaic we saw while shopping for materials with our designer. We really like it.”

Final Result: Favorite new appliances include a quick-cooking GE Advantium oven and a counter-depth refrigerator.

“I love the new oven. It can do so many types of cooking,” the homeowner stated. The counterdepth fridge opened up the work area compared

After

to the old one that blocked the circulation in the kitchen.

“I love the way it all came together. I had a general idea of what I wanted. But it came out better than I imagined. Now I cook more than ever.”

“You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public.”

“Posting our job opening in Current was a tremendous success. Within hours of the issue being distributed, we had numerous inquiries from very qualified individuals. We signed up to have our ad run for two weeks, but was able to settle for one since we found the perfect person to fill our position so quickly.

You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public, and we will definitely use its services again."
