It all started when Rick discovered a growth in the back of his throat. A tonsillectomy and biopsy revealed it was cancerous.

“When I learned Community was affiliated with MD Anderson Cancer Network™, it was an easy decision.” Rick says he needed facts to feel better and that’s just what he got. “Every stone was turned and we got all our questions answered in one meeting with all my doctors.” The certified cancer specialists of Community North and East and the treatment guidelines of the number one* cancer center in the nation, make for an impressive pairing. If you or someone you know lives in Central Indiana and is battling cancer, you’ll find the answers start here. Just ask Rick. “When cancer stares you in the face, I strongly suggest staring back with Community and MD Anderson Cancer Network.”

Tyler Ostrander, who plays Dr. Acula, the vampire and “expert in monsters, magic and all things pertaining to the underworld,” said his character “kind of sees himself as the underdog in the vote. He knows he’s not the most popular person but he’s very bookish, very smart and well-educated but puts people off. He tries to relate to the crowd at the same time and tries to be cool. He almost puts in the air of a politician.”

Local man, 38, dies in car crash editorial@youarecurrent.com Michael Peed, 38, of Fishers was killed Sept. 20 as a result of a five-vehicle crash on northbound I-69 between 96th and 116th Streets. tragedy He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Peed was waiting to exit 116th Street when his vehicle was struck from behind by Maurice Calhoun, 45, of Indianapolis, who did not stop his car. As a result of the force of the crash, Peed’s vehicle struck the car in front of him before he veered into a lane occupied by an oncoming semitrailer truck, driven by Timothy Brown, 57, of Indianapolis. The semitrailer then struck Peed’s car.

Dean Clark, 52, of Noblesville, was injured and transported to Riverview Hospital for neck and knee pain.

Another passenger from a vehicle suffered leg pain and was taken to IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers.

There were no other injuries reported.

The crash happened just after 4 p.m. and resulted in the closure of I-69 for several hours. No charges had been filed as of press time. Indiana Steve Police will investigate the crash and submit the results to Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office. The office will then decide whether to file formal charges.

Construction on the interstate has been ongoing for several months and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

DVD review If it stood on its own, “The Hangover Part III” would probably go down as a pretty decent comedy, agreeably raunchy without being terribly ambitious. Following in the wake of the brashly original 2009 film, it was bound to be a letdown. Read more at currentnightandday. com.

Burglaries – Police and residents in the Town of Fishers are on alert after a string of burglaries in the area. According to the Fishers Police Dept., officials responded to 10 residential burglaries during the month of September.

Police say the crimes were committed during the daytime hours when residents were not home. Officials say it appears the person is specifically looking for jewelry. Police believe the person responsible for the burglaries is an African American man driving a black Chrysler Sebring passenger car with dark tinted windows. Police are warning residents to remove all jewelry and valuables from plain sight. On Oct. 1, officers received a call about a suspicious man in the 10000-block of Eller Road near Riverside Junior High School. When police spotted the suspect, he began running. Officers placed the school on lock down and set up a perimeter where officers caught and arrested the man. Police are trying to determine if the man in custody had anything to do with the rash of break-ins. Officers believe the suspect is targeting the west side of the town because of its location near Allisonville Road and I-69.

The Depot to break ground

Downtown Fishers will break ground on The Depot at Nickel Plate at 10 a.m. on Oct. 10, 8594 E. 116th St. The $42 million residential and retail project will have 16,000 feet of retail space, house 220 apartments and offer 380 parking spaces. The Town of Fishers chose Flaherty & Collins Properties to develop the land. The apartments will offer one- and two-bedroom units with an average of 934 square feet, priced from $949 to $1,850 per month. “We are very excited about the momentum (of the project) and think were we’re going to have great developments for downtown,” said Town Manager Scott Fadness of the first phase of redeveloping downtown. “We’ll plan to have businesses and restaurants to create a sense of what we’re looking for.” (Submitted photo.)

Memorial to honor County’s fallen firefighters

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Just a few feet from where one of Hamilton County’s firefighters lost his life will be a terraced memorial that fundraising honors the lives of those who have died in the line of duty.

But before the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighters Memorial can pay tribute to those who put their lives on the line for others, the collective fire departments in Hamilton Murray County must raise $275,000.

Local 4416 President Tony Murray was active in the Riverwalk Committee when discussions began on the memorial. After visiting the memorials in South Bend and Elkhart, Murray knew Hamilton County needed its own tribute.

“In 2006 both departments unveiled their memorials,” he said. “It was really appealing the setting it created.”

Murray said the Riverwalk Committee was “really receptive to the idea” and Hamilton County Council member Steve Schwartz and Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger got behind the project.

“I’m not aware of any other county-wide memorials,” Murray said. “It’s really meaningful.”

Noblesville Fire Dept. Battalion Chief Michael Cook said the idea began as just a park bench

but evolved into a memorial.

“We worked on it but the economy went bad.

It slowed our project down and the Riverwalk down,” he said.

The park-like setting of the memorial is designed by Hittle Landscaping and includes two key items: a piece of a metal beam from the World Trade Center in New York City and a sculpture of a grieving firefighter by Arizona sculptor Nicholas Wilson.

“We’re really happy with Hittle’s design,” Cook said.

“After Sept. 11 we became aware the Port Authority in New Jersey was releasing steel beams

for worthy organizations,” Murray said.

Cook said the bronze statue takes a year to create and the fund must pay a $30,000 down payment before Wilson begins its construction.

“We want to create and include a memorial for Sept. 11, It’s such a profound event in our country’s history. We pause each year to remember,” Murray said. “We must never forget our members who gave their lives. It’s fitting to memorialize our firefighters and create a place to integrate the World Trade Center beam.”

Landscaping and tribute benches engraved with the names of the fallen will allow visitors to stop for quiet reflection. Schwartz has been

with the committee for the entire journey and is excited to see the project reach this phase.

“It will enhance Riverwalk,” he said. “It will make it more of a destination that it already is.”

The firefighters have partnered with the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau and Hamilton County Artists Association on the project. The HCAA is providing its tax-deductible status to accept donations with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the memorial. Those interested in donating can visit www.hcfallenfirefightersmemorial.org, e-mail info@hcfallenfirefightersmemorial.org or call 773-8805. Checks made out to HCAA/Fallen Firefighters Memorial can be mailed to 399 S. 14th St., Noblesville 46060.

“In working with these firefighters on this project, they have been so appreciative of our support. But I keep telling them, ‘you save lives.

You help people in their darkest hours. Nothing compares to that,’” HCCVB Executive Director Brenda Myers said. “This memorial is not just a monument to fallen firefighters, but a place of respite for the weary. The design allows for people to pause and reflect.”

Fundraising kickoff • The collective fire departments of Hamilton County will gather to kick off a campaign to raise $275,000 to build a memorial at the Hamilton County Judicial Center overlooking the White River in historic downtown Noblesville. The event is 4 to 5 p.m. Oct. 13.

$8.4M airport deal approved

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Noblesville Square Shopping Center 573 Westfield Rd. Noblesville, IN (317) 773-2002

The Hamilton County Council voted 6-1 to approve an $8.4 million purchase of hangars and the terminal building at Indianapolis Executive Airport on Oct. 2. government Councilman Rick McKinney cast the lone dissenting vote. McKinney, who previously supported the airport purchase and numerous projects to upgrade the facility, disliked the proposal because of “vague and shifting reasons.”

“I believe we are acting McKinney hastily,” he said.

The deal calls for a $6.625 million bond by the county to buy the structures from Montgomery Aviation. According to the proposal, the county would buy the buildings and then lease them back to the Montgomerys, who would pay $420,000 per year with revenue from hangar leases with private plane owners. The county will pay $100,000 per year to make up the difference of the estimated $520,000 annual payment for the bonds.

McKinney said he would be in favor of the plan if two independent appraisers and inspectors investigated the property, Montgomery Aviation would not be leased back and 100 percent of the cost was covered without bonds.

“It’s a bailout (for the airport’s operator, Mont-

gomery Aviation) using Hamilton County tax dollars and should not occur.”

Supporters of the plan stated that municipal bond rates are at historic lows and it would be prudent to make the purchase now rather than risk higher rates in the future.

“It’s a fair transaction and the right thing for the community,” Kathy Mayberry, president of the Hamilton County Airport Authority, said.

“Before March 2012, Hamilton County suffered its third consecutive year of employee cuts,” McKinney said, adding only the state’s incorrect funding formula has allowed the county to return to a cushy position.

“I’m factually based. The airport and Montgomery Aviation had a deal to buy the buildings in 2043 or if both parties terminated the contract.”

Indianapolis Executive Airport is in Boone County, but Hamilton County purchased the airport in 2002 to keep it from being consumed by residential developers. The airport attracts a steady flow of business flights, carrying entertainers, wealthy corporate executives and sometimes professional athletes.

Poindexter announces candidacy

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Long-time Carmel City Court Judge Brian Poindexter announced on Oct. 1 that he intends to run for Hamilton County Superior Politics Court.

Poindexter has served as the Judge of Carmel City Court since 2009, when he was appointed by Gov. Mitch Daniels. He was re-elected in 2011.

“I am committed to continue serving the citizens of Hamilton County in this manner. To that end, I intend to be the Republican Party’s candidate of choice for the Judge of Hamilton County Superior Court 3 in May of 2014,” Poindexter said in a statement. “Hamilton County is an extraordinary community. It is not only where I have chosen to live and raise a family but where I recognize that I can best serve the public.”

Poindexter will file after the first of the year, and his name will appear on the May primary ballot. He will run for the seat currently held by Judge William Hughes.

“I have been an active member of the Hamilton County community for more than 20 years. I have invested both my time and energy in securing the future of Hamilton County by volunteering with numerous youth sports programs and a host of civic groups and charitable organizations,” Poindexter said.

Prior to his tenure at the city court, Poindexter worked for the Marion County Prosecutor’s Of-

was nothing but fields. The stage for entertainment was on the back of a trailer. Gradually the event grew from a one-day event to two days.

Wright still is in charge of the entertainment.

She also serves as division leader for the parade.

“This is my version of the traditional fish fry,” she said.

In her spare time, Wright enjoys time with her husband, Jack, two daughters, Laura and Leslie, and four grandchildren: Landon, Logan, Holden and Hallie. Jack, her high school sweetheart, works night security for Conner Prairie; Laura is a director for The Goddard School at 116th and Brooks School Road, and Leslie works alongside her sister in the infant care room.

Caring seems to run in the family.

“Rhonda’s the first person to get to the building for our sorority luncheon and the last one to leave,” Byerly said. “She makes sure the ‘i’s’ are dotted and the ‘t’s’ are crossed, that all the details are taken care of.”

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com Rhonda Wright is one busy lady. She considers every client at the hairstyling salon she owns as family. When she’s not working she goes to their weddings, their grandchilcover story dren’s baby showers or, if a loved one dies, to the funeral to offer support.

If a dedicated client misses an appointment, she drops by the person’s home to make sure her client is OK. For her homebound clients who are unable to drive, she picks them up, takes them to the salon for their appointment and then drives them back home.

That’s just for starters.

The 57-year-old lifelong resident of Fishers owns Wright Touch Styling Salon at Allisonville and 116th Street, is very active in her sorority, Kappa Delta Phi; pioneered the Fishers Freedom Festival 25 years ago (where she still volunteers), helps with Saxony’s annual Oktoberfest, raises money for the Delaware Township food pantry, collects coupons for soldiers and pop tabs for Riley Children’s Hospital, and donates shoes for needy children.

“I’m just giving back to the community,” Wright said with an unassuming shrug. “My dad is the same type, he was a workaholic; I guess I have Dad’s trait. I can’t sit down and watch TV or read a magazine. I’m either doing paperwork or calling someone.”

Though humble herself, her friends give plenty of praise for her efforts.

“She’s just one of those people in our community that gives a lot,” said Rachelle Byerly, one of Wright’s sorority sisters, and a friend from high school. “Our sorority would not have the money that we have to help out the community had it not been for Rhonda.”

The Fishers Freedom Festival may not be what it is today had Wright not been involved.

When Wright was growing up, Fishers was a smaller place, the kind of town where everyone seemed to know each other and where families would join their friends at the local fish fry.

“Everybody pitched in with desserts and pies.

We’d have a street dance and fry fish,” she said.

Years later, as Fishers expanded and Wright’s own children grew, she said she wanted her kids to have something to remember with their kids, too.

Wright and two of her friends, Dawn Dargoo and Darcy Bryant, created Fishers Freedom Festival 25 years ago on Holland Drive. Then the area

It is scientifically proven that the arts provide healing powers to the sick. The arts provide a much needed escape, a sense of adventure and tranquility so useful in navigating this fast-paced, technically-focused world.

There is an innate reason why babies are mesmerized by the sounds of a lullaby and toddlers are gleeful just beating pots and pans with a wooden spoon.

Thank heavens for philanthropists and organizations that fund the arts, though the arts are not just a playground for the rich. Many arts venues have community days in which they offer free or reduced admission rates.

The arts are a part of our daily lives whether watching a TV program, listening to the radio or doodling on a notepad. Dance in your living room. Sing in the shower or on the street if you dare. Life may not always be a Gershwin tune, but wouldn’t it be fun to try?

Existential thoughts on marketing Commentary by Terry Anker As sellers eagerly reach out to buyers, the cacophony of the many promoting their products eventually blurs into a din. Seldom do words or images – let alone complete thoughts – elevate themselves to a perspective sufficiently high enough to be recognized as distinct one from the rest; and so it has been for as long as the first caveman attempted to barter an exchange.

Like so many things, the centuries have taken the simple and made them complex. The basic process of promoting purchase, fundamentally innate to us all, is now called, among other things, the science of “marketing.” While it takes many forms, among them is the use of existing images and thoughts to tell a story more quickly and with greater impact.

A story display referred its product to the iconic 1972 film Cabaret and inspired me to wonder what message was being leveraged? Moving through the day, it stuck with me. Like stepping on gum it was not enough to ponder, but just

enough to take pause. The film rightly speaks to the ambiguity and uncertainty of human interaction. Things are often not as we perceive them and motives are in constant flux.

People watching, I think, is observing the movement of other humans in a crowd. But more than considering coiffure or sartorial whit, one imagines the story. Why are they in this place?

Where are they traveling? What paints the countenance on their face? Who might they be and how might they live?

Macmillan defines cabaret as entertainment in a restaurant or club, performed while you eat or drink. The film proclaims that “life is a cabaret.” As I work on this piece in a public place surrounded by strangers, I wonder if I am in the audience or on the stage.

‘I just can’t handle the truth’

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

a close-knit group of families who win and lose together, and I’m the one who wants to be congratulated on the success of my son. I want his name on that wall. I need his name on that wall!

This isn’t about my son, it’s about me! I “just can’t handle the truth.”

The question is what do I do with this revelation? My first thought was that maybe I should join a team. But most basketball leagues use words like “over 40,” “female,” and “half-court” as punch lines. Then I considered a road race. After all, I finished a mini last year and really enjoyed it (as much as anyone who pees herself while hauling her cellulite around for 13.1 miles can).

I’d also love to get back into coaching track, but with a family I have more responsibilities than even I can possibly fathom. Besides work, my days are filled with chauffeur duties and laundry piles (and semi-successful attempts to incorporate lines from “A Few Good Men” into this article).

I have to figure something out. It’s clear that I can’t keep having such visceral reactions to high school sports teams. A code red is not an option!

Peace out.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately. The other night I was driving over to the high school to pick up a kid from swim prachumor tice. A soccer match was underway next door, and I had to stop to allow players and parents to cross the street.

I felt an incredible surge of jealously as they passed in front of my stupid van, and suddenly all the bitterness of my oldest son not making the team this summer came flooding back. I just wanted to floor it!

When I mentioned the near “code red” incident to Doo, he said straight up, “You’ve got to move on!”

But that’s the problem. Almost two months have passed, and I still weep for my son (and curse those who made the team) when I remember that he won’t be able to compete in a sport for his school. He won’t have that camaraderie that comes from being with a group of teammates twenty-four-seven. He won’t ever be cheered on by classmates and teachers as he plays his heart out for his community.

Then it hit me. Sure I’m disappointed for him, but deep down (in places I don’t talk about at parties) I’m disappointed for me! He doesn’t give a rat’s butt about playing soccer at this level. I’m the one who wants the glory of having a kid on the team. I’m the one who wants to be part of

Fall fun on the farm

The Polkaboy Band, hayrides, an artisan market, organic food, and a German Biergarten will be featured at the Traders Point Oktoberfest on Oct. 12. (Submitted photos)

By Abby Walton • news@currentnoblesville.com It’s time to dust off your lederhosen and get ready for the 7th annual Oktoberfest on the farm at Traders Point Creamery in festival Zionsville.

“Guests like to wander down to the hog roast grill to talk with the farmers who raised the pig, and the hayrides are running non-stop so everyone can enjoy the best view of our farm,” Alden stated.

This event also is a fundraiser for the Traders Point Rural Historic District, a nonprofit organization that protects green space around Eagle Creek.

“We wanted to put on a community event that would offer people a special way to enjoy our beautiful farm and cool historic barns while raising money to help preserve the unique Traders Point area,” Alden stated. The funds from Oktoberfest have helped include an additional 2,600 acres in the National Register of Historic Places. This is only the third rural historic district to be named in Indiana and the only rural historic district within a metropolitan area in the United States.

“The goal of this combined effort was to take the first step in recognizing the importance and significance of the pristine rural areas associated with rural and equestrian activity in Boone and Marion counties, which are becoming more rare in our country,” Alden stated. In the last six

‘You have to follow your dream’

By Jay Harvey • news@currentnoblesville.com

Alyona Yakovleva has worked to create a distinctive approach to dance training and public performance for three years at the ballet helm of the Indiana Ballet Conservatory. When the school displays its public face, in her view the point is to present works that showcase the students’ strengths and interests.

The latest fruit of that focus is the production of “Pulse,” which can be seen this weekend at the Tobias Theater in the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Based on Yakovleva’s growing interest in percussion (spurred by her musician-husband Daryl Randall) “it’s a showcase of our work in contemporary choreography and an education opportunity for the students,” she said.

Yakovleva’s history in the area goes back more than a decade. The Russian-born dancer and choreographer was first associated here with Ballet Internationale and its Clara Noyes Academy, and had to scramble to hold on to students and her ballet dreams when the professional troupe collapsed in 2005. After a reorganization of the first company and school she formed, she has been artistic director of the Indiana Ballet Conservatory since 2010.

“I think the audience will see themselves in this piece,” Yakovleva said. “When we first did it (in 2012), there were tears and there was smiling.”

The effect, she said, was produced by the new work’s story line: the counterpoint of male and female dancers seen at three stages of their lives a boy interested in drumming and a girl interested in dancing. As they mature, they come to see the advantage and beauty of each other’s art form.

The story line raises questions about the choices young people attracted to the arts may have to make as they consider their future: “What if I would not change my dream and my way to succeed? What if I would follow what I really love?” is how Yakovleva put those questions.

“It’s not an easy way to success if you do art,” she said.

Nearly 40 dancers take part in the production, which is set to both live and recorded music centered on the Randall’s drumming. Two guest artists will take part: IBC graduate Alex Ray, who is now studying theatre at Ball State University, and Christopher Bibbs, a former student now hoping to join the Army.

Ray’s passion for drumming and dance helped inspire Yakovleva’s choreography. So did the dual interests of a current IBC student, Ethan Holder, 12. Both will play a drum set in addition to dancing in “Pulse” performances, supplementing Randall’s percussion playing.

Contemporary ballet techniques are showcased in the production, which Yakovleva is using as a vehicle to shed light on what the IBC offers through its resident choreographer and instructor of contemporary ballet, Bulgarian-born Sergey Sergiev. “‘Pulse’ is about life,” Yakovleva said. “No matter how difficult to meet that goal you have, never, ever give up. It’s going to be tears, happiness, success and disappointment. You have to see the goal and you have to follow your dream.”

1940’s Radio Hour celebrates classics

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com The time is 1942. Roosevelt is president and the country is at war. As Christmas approaches, a rundown small-time radio station in New York City full of eccentrics, schemers and dreamers decides to record a broadcast for the troops overseas.

Take a swingin’ trip down memory lane and tune into the final broadcast of the “Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade” as the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre presents “The 1940’s Radio Hour,” Oct. 25 through Nov. 9.

The show is chock-full of Great American Songbook standards including “Love is Here to Stay,” “That Old Black Magic,” “Blue Moon,” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “I’ll Be Seeing You” and “I’ll Never Smile Again.” It also features holiday favorites “Jingle Bells” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

The show is directed by Robert Sorbera, who also is the theatre’s artistic director.

“This show takes us back to a simpler time,” Sorbera said. “A time when everyone gathered around the radio - it was the way most people got their news and their entertainment. In a time of war, radio really unified the nation. In some ways, the show parallels much of what is going on right now in America; upheaval and uncertainty, but always optimism. This is the antithesis of how we get our news today. There was just radio back then.”

The show marks a return to the Civic stage by local favorite Tobin Strader, who took a break from acting after adopting two young children. Audiences

Brent Marty, Civic Theatre’s director of music and education, typically is in the pit conducting the orchestra. Since the orchestra is on the stage for this show, he’ll be able to perform and conduct.

“The show has a bit of choreography, by Anne Beck, who is quite creative. It has to be creative, because the characters can’t leave the microphone,” Sorbera said. “So the actors on the stage are really playing to two audiences, the radio audience and the live audience. It’s very unique. It’s a great little show.”

Protecting your family from fire Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Robert G. from Westfield: My neighbor had a minor fire at his house, and it has me wondering if my family is ready. Are there certain things I should Insurance be concerned about and be prepared for?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: You’re a step ahead of a lot of people. Advanced planning is one of the most important factors in protecting your family from fire. Home fires injure more than 13,000 people each year and kill nearly 3,000. The people most at risk are those over age 65 and children preschool age and younger.

The first thing you need to worry about when it comes to protecting your family is smoke alarms. Every home should have at least one smoke alarm. Most codes now require that a smoke alarm be placed on every floor of the home. Test the batteries in your smoke alarms monthly and replace the alarm every ten years.

Make sure you always install new alarms according to the manufacturer’s directions.

With all of your smoke alarms working, you need to create an escape plan. Make sure everyone in your family understands what to do when the smoke alarm goes off. Practice your escape plan in the dark so that you all know what to expect and how to navigate the home without electricity.

Here are some things to keep in mind when coming up with your plan.

• Know two ways out of each room. Have an escape ladder for any bedrooms above the ground floor. Make sure children are familiar

DISPATCHES What do they say about death and taxes? — The shutdown of the federal government has left some tax delinquents defenseless against U.S. Internal Revenue Service’s asset seizures, tax professionals said. Some IRS tax collectors who pursue individuals and businesses that are delinquent are working through the shutdown, but IRS staff who help these taxpayers defend themselves from collectors have been furloughed, lawyers said. During the shutdown, other parts of the IRS are closed, including its customer-service phone lines and its staff of full-time taxpayer advocates. IRS walkin taxpayer assistance centers also are closed. The U.S. Tax Court, which handles about 90 percent of challenges by taxpayers to the IRS, also is closed. Despite this, tax levies are still being mailed automatically and enforced by IRS agents who were not furloughed. Source: Reuters

with opening the windows.

• Feel the door for heat before opening it. If the door is not hot, open it slowly and take your normal escape route. If the door is hot, take your backup route.

• Crawl if there is smoke. Most fire victims succumb to smoke and toxic gases. Stay below the smoke by crawling.

• Have an arranged meeting place outside the house. Make sure everyone knows it.

• Do not go back inside. Let the fire department handle it from here.

Lastly, insurance. Your independent insurance agent is going to be there to help you rebuild your life after a terrible loss like a fire. It is important to make sure your insurance limits are adequate and up-to-date. Insurance policies are concerned with the cost of rebuilding your home (not to be confused with the market value).

Be sure to review your policy with your agent annually.

Your contents’ (furniture, clothes, etc.) value is usually set at half of the rebuilding cost. Sometimes this limit can be inadequate and needs to be increased.

Your independent insurance agent can provide a simple home inventory form to help figure out if you need to increase your contents limit. For more information on fire prevention, visit usfa. dhs.gov or call your insurance agent.

How important is the label? — Could knowing when to buy generic save American consumers more than $1 billion a year? That’s the estimate of a recent study by economists at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Tilburg University in the Netherlands. The researchers found, for instance, that health care professionals are more likely than other consumers to buy cheaper private-label headache remedies.

The study suggests that if everyone knew as much as doctors and pharmacists do about things such as active ingredients, headache sufferers would spend $410 million less on brand-name medication. Source: Cheapism.com Mortgage preapprovals are losing their luster with lenders — A mortgage preapproval is a written commitment lenders give to buyers that states the maximum size home loan they can get as well as the likely interest rate. Buyers rely on preapprovals to make sure they’re shopping for a home that’s in their price range. But new federal data suggests lenders are scaling back on preapprovals. Among the top 25 mortgage lenders, just 29,912 preapprovals resulted in mortgages that borrowers received to purchase a home last year, according to data released last month by the Federal Financial Institutions Examinations Council. That’s down from 101,626 in 2007, before the housing downturn. Preapprovals accounted for 4% of purchase mortgages that were originated by these lenders last year, down from 9% in 2007. In addition, preapprovals — which have traditionally been considered one of the first steps to getting a home loan — did not precede any of the mortgages doled out to home buyers by 14 of the largest 25 lenders last year.

Making the call: cold or flu?

It’s the time of year when the first sign of a stuffy nose, cough or fever leaves us wondering if we have a cold or the flu. wellness While the common cold and seasonal flu have some of the same symptoms, they are very different illnesses in terms of duration and severity. A cold is much milder, and while a cold can affect you for a few days, the flu is likely to cause lingering illness that can last up to two weeks or longer.

Cold symptoms: The first sign of a cold is often a sore throat.

Symptoms that follow can include runny nose, congestion and cough. Adults generally do not run a fever with a cold, but children with colds may experience fever. People can expect to recover from a cold within a week.

Flu symptoms: Flu symptoms are likely to come on suddenly and are typically more severe. Common signs of flu include sore throat, fever, headache, muscle and body aches or soreness, congestion and cough. The flu can also cause vomiting and diarrhea in some cases. While flu symptoms usually subside in two to five days, some people may

feel weak and run down for several more days. If not effectively treated the flu can cause complications, such as pneumonia and hospitalization, especially in older adults and people with heart and lung conditions.

Fever is the symptom that normally sets flu apart from a cold. It’s very unlikely that a cold will cause a fever, and if it does, it will be low-grade (not higher than 101 degrees). With the flu, fever is usually one of the first symptoms. Body and muscle aches also are more characteristic of the flu.

When to see a physician: If you become ill with a cold or the flu, it’s important to know when to call your primary care doctor. Seek medical care if you experience symptoms such as persistent fever, cough or headache, or painful swallowing (which may indicate strep throat). Talk to your doctor about the seasonal flu vaccine. It’s the best way to help prevent the flu.

Supporting Breast Cancer awareness – OrthoIndy and the Indiana Orthopaedic Hospital will show support of breast cancer awareness month during October in a variety of ways: • All three IOH locations will be illuminated with pink lights for the month of October.

• Patients will be encouraged to get pink casts in support of breast cancer.

• A mobile mammogram truck will visit one day during the month for employees to access.

• In honor/memory of cards will be sold for $1 and posted around each location. All proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

• OrthoIndy and IOH will take part in the “Yoplait Save Lids to Save Lives” campaign and collect pink lids and box tops in all break rooms.

“Except for skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States,” said Jane Keller, CEO of OrthoIndy and IOH. “We have patients and employees who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and that’s why it’s important to us to help raise awareness.”

Face your fitness fear Commentary by April Conard I have been doing some form of fitness my entire life. To me it is just part of who I am. I have always thought of motivation as fitness the big reason that people don’t just hop off the couch and go for a run. Until recently it never occurred to me that motivation is not the only thing keeping folks from working out. Another big problem is fear.

Talking with a friend of mine recently, the idea of associating fear with fitness became a reality.

I am so proud of this friend. She starting running and has lost a good amount of weight, but even better than that she has transformed her lifestyle into living a healthy lifestyle. Her husband is encouraging her to sign up for a 5k run. Even though she is running almost every day she is still hesitant to sign up.

Unease in the fitness world is not limited to running. Group fitness classes can also be intimidating as well as just trying to work the weight machines at the gym.

Fear of the unknown can hold us all back from doing things we think we might enjoy. I guess just like everything else, to overcome your fear you must face it. You may have all the motivation in the world but if you don’t take that next step, it won’t happen.

It may help to realize that even the most experienced marathon runner had their first race.

Every Zumba enthusiast attended their first class and didn’t know one step of choreography.

Let’s face it, no one looks cool trying to figure out how to climb into some of those machines.

As in everything, the first step is the hardest.

Face the doubt you may have about yourself.

Walk into that aerobics room or sign up for that run. You will only be sorry if you don’t go for it.

The comparative and superlative Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “More and more I am hearing people use ‘more’ rather than using the ‘-er’ at the end of words. Is this the grammar guy current grammar usage?

Example: ‘The weather is more hot than it has been lately.’ I was taught to use ‘-er.’ ‘The weather is hotter than it has been lately.’ I am confused. Can you help?” - Dee Ann Reed Answer: I touched on comparative and superlative forms in a previous column, but since this does seem to be a pernicious error I think we can tackle it again.

To recap quickly: The comparative form is used to compare two people or things (“My go-cart is faster than yours.”). The superlative form is used to compare three or more people or things (“Tom’s go-cart is the fastest of the bunch.”).

Typicallypeople don’t have trouble determining whether they need to use the comparative or superlative form. Rather, what trips people up is whether to use an accessory word like “more” or “most” or a suffix like “-er” or “-est.” Fortunately, there is a rule for this.

When comparing items with a single-syllable

word, use “-er” or “-est.” When comparing items with a multiple-syllable word, use “more” or “less.” The exception is two-syllable words ending in “-y,” “-ow” or “-le,” which get treated as single-syllable words.

In your example above, we would say the weather is “hotter” than it has been lately. Why? Because “hot” is a single syllable word. What if the weather has been especially humid, though?

We would say it has been “more humid,” since “humid” is a multi-syllable word not ending in “-y,” “-ow” or “-le.” If it has been especially cloudy?

Then it’s been “cloudier,” because, though “cloudy” is a multi-syllable word, it gets singlesyllable treatment since it ends in “-y.”

This is one of the nicer grammar rules with only a single, consistent set of exceptions. Learn the basic rules, learn the three prefixes which get single-syllable treatment, and you should have no problems forming the proper comparative and superlative forms.

Church disputes reach historic levels

Commentary by Don Knebel

For many Christians, Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, said to encompass both the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and his travel tomb, is the holiest place on earth.

Ironically, maintaining peace in this sprawling basilica requires that Muslims hold onto its only key.

In 326 A.D., Emperor Constantine ordered a church built on the site of a Roman temple after his mother, Helena, claimed to have learned during a visit to Jerusalem that the temple covered Jesus’ tomb. During construction, Helena is said to have discovered the “true cross” on which Jesus was crucified and a chapel was built on the site of that discovery. Different Christian groups later built additional chapels near the original church.

During the Crusades, all the structures now constituting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre were consolidated under a single roof and a single entrance. Six Christian groups ended up controlling parts of the same building. Because of their different beliefs and traditions, these groups have long squabbled over everything from the theological to the territorial. They have not even been able to agree on which of them should possess the ancient key to the only entrance. As a result, since 1187 the key to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre has been held by two local Muslim families, one of which opens the church while the other closes it.

Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre arguably is the holiest place on Earth for Christians. (Submitted photo)

In 1853, in an effort to eliminate ongoing disputes, a formal agreement was reached to maintain the status quo. It has not worked. In 2002, a Coptic monk moved a chair about eight inches from its traditional location. The ensuing melee sent 11 people to the hospital. In 2004, another fight broke out after a traditionally closed door was left open.

Before 1853, someone placed a small wooden ladder below a second story window to the right of the entrance. With no agreement on a new lo-

cation, the ladder cannot be moved. In 1964, Pope Paul VI decreed that this so-called “immovable ladder” should stay put until the great schism of 1054 that divides the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches is overcome. The world waits.

“I’m more interested in movements … things that begin with integrity and that are going to be with us for a long time,” prooutdoors claimed Thomas Keller of the highly fashionable restaurant, French Laundry. The legendary chef was illustrating his disdain for following the latest trend of what’s popular, which succinctly represents our strategic perspective. After all, who wants their customized back yard living space to look like most of the others in their neighborhood?

Elements The featured elegant backyard living space speaks well of Thomas Keller’s respected view and how we love to design, build and landscape.

Classic elements, used sparingly and married with a previously installed paver patio, served to remarkably elevate the sophistication. It’s amazing what a few extra feet around the edge of the patio and fresh furniture placement will do with traffic flow. Suddenly there is ample room for entertaining and relaxing.

Special neighborhoods, like the Villages of West Clay, call for a special palate of materials.

The trusted Indiana limestone employed for the modern seat walls and columns was gently tumbled to soften the edges and add a volume of warmth. Historic feeling Pennsylvania slate in soft blues and grays adds color, drama and flow to the space. It’s hard to imagine that a simple

stone can do all that. Landscape Architect Eric Beard’s brilliant design helps.

This customized fire feature with a chimney feel at the rear and a welcoming front, coupled with subtle night lighting and privacy landscape, serves to warm the space. Gas fed, it can be used entirely as gas or as a starter for a few chunks of firewood.

I believe we are experiencing a lasting movement that will serve our families and friendships well through luxurious outdoor living.

Make a splash with your tiles Commentary by David Decker

A tile backsplash is one of the first things that catches the viewer’s eye when they enter a kitchen, so it’s easy to see why a new indoors backsplash can instantly refresh the feel of your kitchen. A tile backsplash can tie together multiple elements of the kitchen - such as the cabinetry, walls and countertops - together into a cohesive design. Since it’s possible to switch out a backsplash without moving cabinetry or appliances, this upgrade makes an effective weekend remodel project.

Once you’ve recorded the measurements of your available wall space, you can start looking for design inspirations. What kind of style are you trying to create in your kitchen? Keep the other elements of the kitchen in mind when selecting the tile. The right tile can bring out a new, creative aspect to your kitchen aesthetic, but be sure not to overpower the room with a design that’s too busy or distracting. The best backsplashes will work to enhance the look of your kitchen without being a visual distraction.

• Size: Backsplash tiles come in a huge variety of sizes, so don’t feel confined to the old 4 x 4-inch or 6 x 6-inch standard tile sizes of yesterday. Select larger tiles if you’d like to make a space look bigger. Or if you’d like to generate an intricate, yet cohesive design, small mosaic tiles may be perfect for your kitchen.

• Shape: Square has always been the standard shape for tile, which is why some designers are thinking outside the box (literally) and creating tiles that are rectangular, circular or other innovative shapes.

• Color: Keep in mind the color of your countertops as you are choosing a tile color.

Complex and colorful backsplashes look best when paired with solid countertops, and vice versa.

• Material: Backsplashes can be constructed from ceramic, stone, glass, metal, porcelain and more. Inventively mixing different materials is sure to attract visual attention. And don’t forget to play close attention to textures.

• Direction: Changing the orientation of your tile can radically change the entire look of the backsplash. Try vertical or diagonal patterns for a modern, innovative style.

Effective lighting is the best way to highlight your new, innovative backsplash design. Installing under-cabinet lighting can illuminate and showcase the tiles. Most under-cabinet lighting uses either LED or florescent models. You may want to do some research on what type would be best for your kitchen. Not only will undercabinet lighting make your backsplash look more beautiful, it will also provide task lighting to help with cooking or food preparation.

The best backsplash designs enhance your kitchen cabinetry and countertops while acting as a visually exciting decorative component. Pay attention to the details and don’t be afraid to try something new.
