OUR VIEWS

It is our position to get out and vote Tuesday as our civic duty. This is a critical time in elected office and the results of this election will heavily influence the direction of our cities.

Although most of us believe it is everyone’s civic duty to vote, isn’t it just as important to be well educated on the pressing issues and the candidates’ views, background and philosophy? There are multiple resources available to us for information about the contenders and their stances on matters of state. There is no excuse for not being prepared on the appropriate topics in the upcoming election. Our local officials have considerable influence in how our cities develop; there may be no individual who would have more direct impact on our immediate lives.

Yes, many Hamilton County elections were, for all practical purposes, decided in the May primary. Carmel does not have any contested races. So use the time to read up for the 2012 run.

On Tuesday, please be prepared to get out and cast your vote. For more information on who’s running, visit www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov/services. asp?id=2353.

Bathroom habits

It is our position some people really need to clean up their bathroom habits. Although we certainly understand public bathrooms are just that – public –it doesn’t provide the right for individuals to treat them as if they were their own personal cesspool. It never ceases to amaze us how public bathrooms are used by some as if they were designed to be destroyed. Is it possible these individuals live like this in their own homes? Is it possible they are so angry at the poor souls who must clean the bathrooms they undertake all manner and disgusting personal behavior in order to prove their superiority?

Certainly, the cost of maintaining a restroom is built into the cost of a cheeseburger. However, isn’t proper respect for public bathrooms really reflective on the person who uses it? Although it would be highly regarded to wipe off the counter and generally clean up after one’s self, we would be satisfied if people would simply find a way to flush the toilets and, well, find a way to use the facility in a more specific and respectful fashion – for themselves and for the rest of us.

Getting fit on the ‘Internets’

FROM THE BACKSHOP Adding to the quality of healthcare Our cover story today by Jordan Fischer, managing editor of Current in Fishers, gives you something of an inside look at a project that has been six years in the making. IU Health Saxony Hospital on Dec. 1 is scheduled to become the next major health-care outlet to join “the war zone,” as characterized by another medical executive, in the dense northeast corridor of Hamilton County.

Much as its forerunner, IU Health North Hospital, was when it opened six years ago, the Saxony project is cutting-edge in so many ways. We’re not going to blow Jordan’s storyline here, but suffice it to say CEO Philip M. Dulberger, M.D., is a visionary whose attention to the nitty-gritty gives the Town of Fishers what should be another top-flight medical outlet, joining nearby St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast. Were we amazed, if not awed, by our tour? Yes, we were. As health care advances, so, too, does the planning for patient care, education and lifesaving. The town is fortunate to have multiple players with multiple disciplines in our midst. As for IU Health Saxony, its values are focused on excellence in a mind-body-spirit approach with deep commitments to education; quality; charity; equality and justice in healthcare; wellness; research and internal mutual trust

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg and respect. Patients remaining healthy or returning to good health are the combined mission for all the practitioners in this town.

To have a home-grown hospital in the mix is but icing on the cake. We hope you will enjoy Jordan’s profile of the hospital.

Deferred molar maintenance Commentary

By Terry Anker While having coffee with a vibrant 80-yearold recently, the topic turned to the advancing age of my own kids. We talked about Halloween and how this year was the first in more than a decade I had not followed one of my own around the neighborhood on the annual ritual of begging for treats and threatening tricks. My own boys no longer required my supervision. The younger was with his buddies, chaperoned by another father in a neighborhood with a far greater density of residences – more candy per square foot, I guess. And the older, spent the evening studying for an algebra test the next day. My octogenarian friend shared a knowing laugh and we had the usual conversation about how time marches on. He pointed to the mechanical failures beset an aging body. In his case, he found himself at the dentist more often than not being told his teeth, especially those in the rear, were beginning to fail not due to defect or neglect but

because they had reached their maximum usable life.

It struck me my perception about teeth had been all wrong. I assumed they lasted forever, failing only if betrayed by their owner. Of course reason suggests all grinding devices eventually wear down. I once read elephants often die of starvation when their teeth grit to the point of ineffectiveness. In the case of my aging comrade, he simply was off to have them repaired or replaced as the circumstance warranted. He was not deterred by the development but saw it simply as care required on a vintage mandible. Why do we so often defer maintenance, fearing it acknowledges our mortality instead of embracing it as a marker of good stewardship?

The award for best actress in a dramatic role…

COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson “Thank you, Natalie. Gosh, what a surprise.

Okay, well, I’d like to first thank my brothers and sister; their incessant complaining really helped to define my motivation. My dad for occasionally coming home late and missing out on the family meals; his absence allowed me to forget my inhibitions and manners, and really go for it. And finally, to my mom: If it weren’t for her sub-par meatloaf, her stingy rules about not leaving the table and her unfaltering inability to maintain control by 6:00 pm every night, well, let’s just say I’d still be sitting in the audience right now, watching Jennifer Lawrence accept this award. Can’t wait for ‘Hunger Games.’”

Dinner time drama: In my house, what starts off as a lovely family get-together usually degrades into a beauty parlor scene from “Steel Magnolias.” “I hate pork.” “He’s chewing with his mouth open.” “She’s looook-iinngg at me” Unless we’re eating pizza or pancakes, my children spend the 20 minutes they’re forced to be at the table complaining about the meal or debating the stupidity of the rules, which boil down to three bites of the entrée or you’re at the table until bedtime and nothing until the following morning.

Reasonable, right? But, by the way our boys, in particular, behave you’d think I was feeding

them arsenic-laced dog poo. Most nights they gag on their requisite three forkfuls (after much whining, hurumphing and considerable stalling) and then hold out until breakfast the next day.

They’d actually rather starve than eat tacos, barbecue ribs, or God forbid, oven-lemon chicken.

Honestly, we are usually on our own anyway.

Even when we are all together, sometimes we eat cereal, cheese bagels or eggs just so we can have a conversation with topics other than idle threats, bribery, or swear words. But on those rare nights when I have time to cook something other than Easy Mac, my husband and I are determined to have a real family sit-down meal. I heard families who eat together spawn fewer serial killers, or something like that. We absolutely refuse to cater to our kids’ personal preferences.

So I guess for the time being, we won’t be needing tickets to the IRT. We have outstanding dinner-time theater right in our very own kitchen. And with tuna casserole on the menu tonight, we should be in for some Oscar-worthy performances. Peace out.

400 Girl Scouts celebrate scouting centennial

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com More than 400 Fishers Girl Scouts gathered at Cool Creek Park in Carmel Oct. 22 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the organization.

The event featured a visit from an impersonator of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts, a nature hike, wildlife education, and a decorated cupcake contest.

Girl Scouts of Central Indiana serves more than 41,000 girls in 45 counties across central Indiana. If you’d like to join, volunteer, or donate to Girl Scouts, call 317-924-6800 or 877-474-2248 or visit girlscoutsindiana.org.

Alyssa Asquini & Smantha Turben from troop 848 enjoy cupcakes during the celebration.

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Beginning Monday, the Fishers Fire Dept. will pair up with the inaugural “Food for Friends in Fishers” food drive to collect canned food and dry goods for food pantries in Fishers and Hamilton County.

“We’re trying to keep it simple,” said Renee Cox, who organized the food drive along with Amy Massillamany. “We’re mindful of how hard hit the food pantries are in Fishers, so they seemed like a place where we could fulfill the greatest need.”

Between Monday and Nov. 18, residents can drop off canned food, dry goods, and non-perishables like toiletries at any Fishers Fire Dept. station. Collected items will be donated to a local food pantry on Nov. 21.

“If you talk to the folks at the Good Samaritan Network, they’re at the point where they are constantly getting requests (for food),” Cox said. “The Good Samaritans’ and the Salvation Army’s funds have essentially dried up, so you’re sort of seeing an uptick from the townships’ food pantries.”

“It alerts you to a bigger picture that, even in this affluent county we live in, there are stil people in need,” Cox added.

“And we want to help them out.”

For more information about the “Food for Friends in Fishers” food drive, contact Renee Cox at 317-430-4664 or renee. cox@comcast.net, or Amy Massillamany at 317-658-0016 or amymassillamany@yahoo.com.

Third-quarter housing numbers up in Hamilton

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County housing market numbers are moving in the right direction, according to a quarterly July-September report released by the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of REALTORS (MIBOR) last week.

According to the report, the number of closed sales in Hamilton County increased by 27.7 percent during July to September when compared to the same months in 2010; closed sales also increased 27.6 percent in the Septemberonly comparison within Hamilton County.

“The numbers are reading what we want them to read for a turnaround, and that’s what we’ve been seeing lately,” said Steve Rupp, a REALTOR and broker-associate for Prudential Indiana Realty Group covering Hamilton County and northern Indianapolis.

“This third quarter is turning out to be the best quarter of the year so far,” Rupp said. “New listings are down, and that’s excellent. We need those numbers to come down. And part of that is that foreclosures are down.”

The monthly supply of housing inventory for Hamilton County dropped 3.5 percent in September to 8.3 months. That’s lower, Rupp said, than MIBOR’s average inventory, which is hovering around 9.5 months.

Riverwalk Commons Salutes Our Veterans

The median sales price for Hamilton County did drop 3.9 percent compared to this period last year, however, which Rupp said is a sign homeowners are still having to negotiate “pretty hard” to sell their homes (homeowners on average received 90.4 percent of their original list price at sale in September). On the other hand, Rupp said, he and his colleagues have begun seeing movement of homes priced above $500,000 again, whereas there was little to no activity in that market in 2010.

Rupp said he was optimistic MIBOR numbers were signs of an upward trend for the market.

“It will be interesting to see where we are in February-March-April of next year, relative to where we were this year,” he said. “My guess, relative to the economy of course, is that we’re going to continue the trend of pretty good numbers. If you couple that with still significantly-lower than historical average interest rates, you’re going to have some pretty strong numbers. If we could just get that unemployment number down, that will really close the deal for real estate, and you’re not going to have anything holding it back.”

Military service and Social Security 79711_4204_IUHSAX_10.375x2.75_4c_CIF_Increasing.indd 1

Current in Fishers Each year, on Nov. 11, America observes Veterans Day and honors the men and women who have served in our nation’s Armed Forces. Many of our Vietnam era veterans are now nearing retirement age, or already there. It is important that they — and other American service personnel — know just what retirement benefits they can count on from Social Security as they make their future financial plans.

Like most of the civilian workforce, all current military personnel pay Social Security taxes and earn Social Security coverage. Earnings for active duty military service or active duty training have been covered under Social Security since 1957. Also, earnings for inactive duty service in the reserves (such as weekend drills) have had Social Security coverage since 1988.

In addition to regular military pay, Social Security adds special earnings credits to an individual’s Social Security record when he or she serves in the military. If, for example, a person served in the military. These extra earnings may help someone qualify for Social Security or increase the amount of the Social Security benefit.

The number of credits an individual needs to qualify for Social Security depends on his or her

age and the type of benefit. Any future Social Security benefit payment depends on a person’s earnings, averaged over a working lifetime. Generally, the higher a person’s earnings, the higher his or her Social Security benefit will be.

And remember that Social Security is more than retirement. If a worker becomes disabled before reaching retirement age, he or she may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. A disabled worker’s spouse and dependent children also may be eligible for benefits. If a worker dies, the widow or widower and dependent children may be eligible for Social Security survivors benefits.

If you, or someone you know, were wounded while on active duty in the military, find out more about what Social Security can do by visiting our website designed specifically for wounded warriors: www.socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors. There, you will find answers to a number of commonly asked questions, as well as other useful information about disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Veterans and others who are within 10 years of retirement age should begin planning for retirement. A good place to start is with Social Security’s Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator.

Vehicle theft arrests

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com A call from a Fishers homeowner Oct. 28 lead to the arrest of two Fishers teenagers last week in connection with a number of thefts from vehicles near the Rosewood and Sweet Briar North neighborhoods.

At approximately 1:30 a.m., a north side Fishers homeowner reported seeing two male subjects walking around the neighborhood looking into cars with flashlights. Officers arrived and discovered a vehicle with an open trunk in the 13,000 block of Grapevine Lane. Immediately thereafter, FPD Officer Brian Alvey saw a person flee south on foot from the area. Alvey pursued on foot an apprehended the male suspect a short distance away in the back yard of a nearby home.

Alvey’s investigation revealed the suspect was a

14-year-old Fishers resident. The thefts were determined to involve at least four separate vehicles in the immediate area. One overhead garage door was also found open and there was evidence the suspects had rifled through things in the garage.

Upon contact and cooperation with the juvenile’s parents, the 14-year-old told the investigating officers the name of his accomplice (another 15year-old juvenile resident). Fishers Detective Dan Nelson was able to make contact with the second juvenile and parents the following day. They too were cooperative and admitted involvement.

The juveniles were charged with Unauthorized Entry of a Motor Vehicle, Theft, Curfew Violation, and Criminal Mischief (damaging the entrance sign to neighborhood). Nelson said he believes this to be an isolated incident, unrelated to any other thefts around town.

Artist Profile: Forrest Formsma

Opening Dec. 1, IU Health Saxony Hospital blends aesthetics and caregiving to create a natural, healing environment

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com With 42 beds, 275 employees and 60 physicians projected to fill its halls on opening day, IU Health’s new Saxony location certainly looks like a hospital on paper. Walk into the lobby of the 100,000 square-foot complex, however, and you might not be so sure.

Embracing a “healing environment” design concept, IU Health Saxony Hospital’s lobby will greet patients and visitors with soothing music, natural light—courtesy of the three-story walls of glass windows—and artwork of native Indiana ecosystems, including an 11- by 24-foot, 250-pound painting by local artist Forrest Formsma.

“The medical community embraces aesthetics,” said Debra Bush, marketing director for IU Health Saxony Hospital.

“Natural light has positive effects, both psychologically and physiologically, so there was an effort to incorporate a lot of glass and natural light, which also helps with energy efficiency.”

With opening day, Dec. 1, for the hospital less than a month away, Current in Fishers was offered a sneak peek into the Town of Fishers’ newest addition, six years in the making.

Philip M. Dulberger, M.D., CEO

Making footsteps count

Throughout the design and conceptualization process of building the hospital, Dr. Philip M. Dulberger, CEO and chief medical officer for the new hospital, said the “7 Deadly Wastes” of lean enterprise (transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, over-processing, over-production and defects) were kept in the fore of planners’ minds, especially when looking at where to place hospital services in relation to one another.

For example, the emergency department’s chest pain rooms are located directly between the ambulance entrance and the cardiac catheter laboratory, which allows maximum efficiency in caring for cardiac patients where “every second counts,” Bush said.

Dulberger said diagnostic labs also are near patient rooms and nurses’ stations, in an effort to minimize the distance and people required for a pathology sample to reach its destination.

The greener side of healing IU Health officials say extra attention was given to the proscriptions of the Green Guide for Health Care, the best practices guide for healthy and sustainable building design, construction, and operations in the health care industry, during the design and construction of IU Health Saxony Hospital. Among the hospital’s initiatives: • Nearly 20 acres of asphalt pavement from the previous development were recycled—meaning that 393 truckloads of asphalt were reused on

When it came time for IU Health Saxony Hospital to find a suitable piece of art to adorn the walls of its newly constructed lobby, hospital officials contacted Indianapolis artist Forrest Formsma.

Formsma, who holds a BFA in painting from Miami University of Ohio, is the owner of Forrest Formsma Fine Art, located at 1134 E. 54th St., Indianapolis.

“They wanted elements of water, trees, sky, nature,” Formsma said. “And they wanted to go with energetic, happy-feeling colors; colors that weren’t specific to a particular season.”

For his initial sketches, Formsma used the Canal Towpath for inspiration. He then constructed the 11-foot by 24-foot canvas for the large, 250-pound painting commissioned by IU Health, which Formsma said covered one side of his studio from wall to wall, and floor to ceiling.

The whole process took nearly half a year, Formsma said, with a month of that dedicated strictly to the actual painting, done in oil, and featuring a highly-vegetated river bend.

The painting, which Formsma calls “Hope Around the Bend,” will hang prominently in the main lobby of the IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers, which opens Dec. 1.

IU Health Saxony Hospital’s lobby features threestory glass windows to allow in the maximum amount of natural light.

“If we can minimize footsteps, staff members are more appreciative, patients are more appreciative, and, ultimately, footsteps translate into dollars,” Dulberger said.

Dulberger also the hospital’s decision to focus on three areas of care—orthopedic, cardiovascular and neuro-spine— hopefully will strengthen the services provided there.

“What most hospitals are doing is what I call the Sam’s Club approach,” Dulberger said. “It’s a big box that’s everything to everyone, everywhere.”

Continued on Page 9 site instead of going to a landfill.

• 212 tons of metal studs were used to build the walls of the facility, and 100% of the metal was from recycled sources.

• Rain gardens around the property to reduce and filter storm water runoff.

• Nearly 200 trees from the original retail property were relocated, rather than being destroyed, during construction.

• Roundabouts along 136th Street have been used to reduce traffic and air pollution from idling cars.

• A lighting-control system, which turns off lights when areas of the building are not in use.

Current in Fishers

Prior to being named CEO and chief medical officer of the new IU Health Saxony Hospital, Dulberger served as the CEO of IU Health Quality Partners – an organization developing a clinically integrated statewide physician network focused on improving the evidence-based quality, value and efficiency of healthcare delivery.

An Indiana University School of Medicine graduate, Dulberger, a Fishers resident, served his internship year at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis before completing his anesthesia residency at Duke University Medical Center at Durham, N.C. Though he’s now an administrator, he said he brings his physician’s sensibilities to the job. “I’m an anesthesiologist by trade,” Dulberger said, “so while administration isn’t secondary, patient care is my first passion.”

Before joining IU Health, Dulberger served as the medical director of surgery services for another Indianapolis hospital system.

A healing environment

“The key that’s going to set us apart is quality outcomes and patient experience,” Dulberger said.

In terms of services, IU Health Saxony Hospital will offer surgical suites with integrated video technology, a Women’s Center providing mammography, bone density and ultrasound, on-site diagnostics, blood bank and sleep lab, and a cardiologist on-site 24/7.

From the patient’s end, rooms are zoned into patient, staff and family areas (patient and family areas include flat-screen televisions), and have a window overlooking a natural space. While all rooms include the necessary equipment to be converted into an intensive care room if needed, wires, cables and machinery that isn’t being used, or doesn’t need to be accessed immediately, are hidden behind wooden paneling to create a more inviting atmosphere. The hallways of the hospital are decorated with photographs of the natural world, taken by IU Health staff and physicians, and murals of local ecosystems.

“When you come into the hospital, it doesn’t feel clinical or cold,” said Bush. “It feels warm and inviting.”

Dulberger also said the hospital is fairly distinctive in that many of its staff members and physicians live in Fishers, the community it will serve.

“Part of what’s unique about this facility is that a lot of the caregivers live here,” Dulberger said, “so it’s really their hospital.”

IU Health Saxony Hospital, 13000 136th St., will begin serving patients Dec. 1. The community is invited to tour the facility from 1 to 4 p.m. Nov. 20.

Nurses stations at the hospital will be situated with a view of all eight rooms they service.

The hospital walls are decorated with photos of nature, taken by IU Health staff.

Natural images, including murals of native Indiana ecosystems, shown here, were an important consideration in the design of the hospital, officials said, to create a natural, healing atmosphere.

Suspicious vehicle update

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Police Dept. says it continues to investigate a suspicious vehicle reported in the Gray Eagle subdivision earlier in October.

On Oct. 5, a Fishers girl reported a man in a black pickup truck asking her if she wanted a ride. Since that date, the police department has received many more calls reporting suspicious vehicles throughout the town. No additional reports of children being approached by suspicious persons have been made.

On Oct. 24, police say a suspicious black

www.youarecurrent.com

truck slowed or stopped in front of a resident in Canal Place, near the intersection of 104th Street and Olio Road. A young girl was playing in her front yard when she saw the truck.

She quickly ran inside her garage. There was no contact or conversation between the girl and the driver of the truck.

Fishers police say extra patrols will continue to be provided in neighborhoods, concentrating on school bus stops in the morning and afternoon. Police encourage adults to supervise bus stops whenever possible, and to report suspicious vehicles immediately.

Town council candidates are elected at-large – Although candidates are required to live in a particular district, they are elected atlarge, meaning all voters in the Town of Fishers have a say in the representative for each district. For example, if you lived near Cumberland Road and 121st St. – which would put you in District 3 – you could still vote for one candidate in each of the other six districts just like you would for the clerk-treasurer or town judge races. Additionally, you don’t have to travel to precincts in each district to vote for candidates. Simply go to your assigned precinct (a list is available in our election guide), where you will be able to vote for all of the primary races from the same ballot.

Getting in the spirit EDUCATION

By Freedom Kolb It’s that time of year. No, not that – I mean parent/teacher conferences. By this time, you have the first nine-week report card in your hot little hands and may have checked these annual meetings off your to-do list. Many parents leave the conferences thrilled, others not so much.

But in honor of this meeting of the minds let’s visit some thoughts teachers wished parents knew, but can’t always tell you.

Education isn’t the same as when we were in school. School budgets have narrowed. Standardized tests have flourished. Strict new standards dictate what topics are covered and when. I have far less control of my classroom than I did 20 years ago. I don’t know what the future of my profession will look like and it worries me.

I care about your child too! Telling a parent his child might need professional assessment or intervention is one of the hardest parts of my job. As difficult as it is, I know early detection and support is critical for long-term success.

The grade you are concerned about isn’t the grade I gave your child; it is the one he earned.

The bell rings at 3:00 p.m., but my day isn’t over. I still have to prepare lesson plans, input my data entry, attend professional meetings, and strategize longer-term interventions. I grade papers at my own children’s soccer games.

School breaks are filled with satisfying continu-

ing-education requirements, providing tutor assistance, and updating my curriculum with the newest mandated standards.

My own pocket change often supplies my classroom. If you do decide to give me a holiday or year-end gift (and no, it is not expected), anything from the classroom wish list is terrific.

Or a gift card to a generic store (think Target, Wal-Mart, or United Artist Education) where I can find school supplies is perfect.

Personal touches still count. Most of us entered the field to make a difference. It still means the world to me to get a handwritten note from a parent, student or alumni.

Honor the teachers in your life – and don’t forget bus drivers, principals and support staff – with a little public display of affection. Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation offers Thank-an-Educator at www.hsefoundation.org. Marco’s pizza runs a teacher of the month contest right here in Current at Fishers. Williams Comfort Air is accepting nominations for ExtraordinAIRy teachers at www.extraordinairytreasures.com. Last, www.donorchoose. org allows teachers to post their specific classroom needs and you can sort by area or school.

Loaning and lending GRAMMAR LESSON

By Brandie Bohney My recent column regarding the difference between further and farther and principal and principal opened a floodgate of requests. So many readers emailed with requests to explain the difference between various pairs of similar words that it will take weeks to get through all of them.

But that’s what I’m here for.

First on the long lineup of word comparisons is the difference between loan and lend. Reader Phil is going to be terribly disappointed at my response, though.

The e-mail implored me to let my readers know that loan is a noun, not a verb. And it’s true that in formal British English, loan is not used as a verb. The appropriate verb is lend. But in American English, Australian English, and even casual British English, loan can be used as both a noun and a verb.

There’s a caveat, though.

Although loan can be used as a verb, it can only function as such in cases where the items in question are tangible. So while you can loan

money or a car or underwear to someone, you must lend credence or intuition or stability.

Still, even though loan can technically be used as a verb, there’s a good-sized group of grammarians and language enthusiasts who strongly dislike it to be used as such. And the truth is, the verb lend is beautifully designed specifically for the same purpose that many people use loan. You can’t go wrong with lend, but loan has limitations that must be minded.

So here’s my advice: when you need a verb about a loan, use lend.

Not because it is the only choice, but because it is the better choice. Not only will you never need to evaluate your usage for the physical versus conceptual, but you’ll never have to worry about language sticklers mocking you in your absence.

So while you can loan money or a car or underwear to someone, you must lend credence or intuition or stability.

DISPATCHES » Hotels adding new fees – Following in the footsteps of the airlines, hotels are piling on hidden fees for services that used to be free. Now guests are getting charged for everything from access to a gym (or a pool), to early check-ins or departures to holding your luggage. All of those fees really add up. Total fees collected by hotels in the U.S. are projected to hit a record $1.8 billion this year, up 80 percent from a decade ago, according to a recent study by Bjorn Hanson, dean of New York University’s Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management.

-CNNMoney » The candy’s still good – Remember when you were a kid and your mom took your candy away a week after Halloween, claiming that it was “getting stale”? Candy bars are good for about a year, and perfectly safe for much longer than that, though less appetizing. Nuts and peanut butter will, generally speaking, get nasty sooner than pure chocolate. And those white dots that you sometimes find on older candy bars? Just little bits of fat or sugar that have bubbled to the surface over time.

Sweet Chili Chicken Kabobs If you tailgate with people in their 30s or younger, you’ll no doubt realize that they like hot sauces. The “Buffalo Wing” originated at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY, and swept the country. It was a combination of a cayenne pepper sauce (Frank’s) and butter on baked or deepfried chicken wings. This hot item revitalized the chicken industry as the demand for wings soared.

My only problem with Frank’s sauce was that it was thin. I only used it in cooking or seasoning.

Ingredients: • 1 lb. boneless chicken, cut into cubes • 2 cups cut-up fresh vegetables like red, green, yellow and orange peppers, onions, mushrooms, potatoes etc. Fruits like fresh pineapple can be used as well.

• 1/2 cup FRANK’S® REDHOT® Sweet Chili Sauce • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce To Prepare: Place chicken and vegetables on skew-

Now Franks has made a thick product that has the consistency of a barbecue sauce. We serve it as a dipping sauce or grilling sauce. The younger set loves it. Also they have a new sweet chilli flavor that gives the option to slightly vary the taste of the hotter side of tailgate menus.

Here’s a great upscale tailgate recipe that will thrill young and old, but I’d double it to make sure there are some for after the game. ers. Mix Sweet Chili Sauce and barbecue sauce.

DISPATCHES » Officials back HPV vaccine for boys – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently announced that its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has approved “recommendations for routine vaccination of males 11 or 12 years old with three doses of HPV4 (vaccine)” to shield against the virus. At this point the recommendation is limited to Gardasil, made by Merck. Another HPV vaccine, GlaxoSmithKline’s Cervarix, is not yet included in the advisory.

-HealthDay News » Stress linked to IBS – According to a new study, people who have experienced more trauma over their lifetimes are more likely to experience irritable bowel syndrome. This trauma can range from deaths of loved ones to divorce to disasters such as experiencing a house fire or a car accident. The exact cause of IBS is unknown, but researchers suspect that the nerves and muscles that control the bowel are to blame. Stress may over-activate the nerves that connect the brain and the gut, leading to painful and embarrassing bowel problems.

-www.livescience.com » Probiotics may lower inflammation – Probiotics, or “good bacteria,” may lower levels of inflammation in the body, which could benefit patients who have inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis, a new study says. Patients with one of these conditions who took the probiotic bacteria B. infantis for eight weeks had lower levels of inflammation compared with those who took a placebo. And healthy people who took probiotics also saw a reduction in inflammation compared with those who took a placebo. The results suggest that probiotics may lower levels of inflammation, regardless of the affliction, the researchers said. However, it’s still not clear whether probiotics can actually help with symptoms of these diseases, experts say.

Best and worst natural cold and flu remedies Helpful

Omega-3 pill – If you don’t like or eat a lot of fish, pop an omega-3 supplement daily to reap the fatty acid’s impressive immune-fortifying properties. Omega-3s increase the activity of phagocytes—cells that fight flu by eating up bacteria—according to a study by Britain’s Institute of Human Nutrition and School of Medicine. Other research shows that omega-3s increase airflow and protect lungs from colds and respiratory infections. Look for purified fish oil capsules that contain at least 1 g combined of EPA and DHA. Astragalus – This Chinese root is shown to stimulate the white blood cells that fight infection. A study published in 2007 found that astragalus appears to boost immunity in mice.

And a pilot study suggests that the herb may have similar effects in people. However, keep in mind that astragalus may take six to eight weeks to reach its full effect.

Vitamin D – According to a Harvard study, people with the lowest vitamin D levels were 36 percent more likely to have upper respiratory infections, compared with those with the most D. (Asthma patients with low levels of D were nearly six times as likely to get sick as those with the greatest amounts.) Adequate amounts of D help produce cathelicidin, a protein with viruskilling qualities. Aim for at least 1,000 IU daily.

Hype

Echinacea – If taken at the start of a cold, this herb might shorten duration and severity of symptoms. But some brands don’t contain the amount of echinacea listed on the label—and some formulas have none at all. Possible side effects include wheezing, rash, and diarrhea.

Airborne – Experts say this supplement, a blend of blend of Zinc, Ginger, Echinacea and other vitamins, minerals, and herbs, does nothing to repel germs on an airplane or anywhere else. It also contains large amounts of vitamin A, which could be toxic if taken several times a day. The company was fined $23 million in a class-action lawsuit in 2008 for false advertising. It has since changed its packaging from saying it treats colds to calling the supplement simply an immune booster.

Vitamin C – There’s certainly no downside to eating a lot of C-rich foods, such as red peppers and citrus fruits. But taking a vitamin for extra protection won’t help. A 2007 review of 30 studies found no evidence that vitamin C supplementation prevents colds in the normal population. Plus, megadoses can cause kidney stones, upset stomach, and even internal bleeding in children.

DISPATCHES » Fashion store opens this week – Maurices will open its second store at Clay Terrace, 14511 Clay Terrace Blvd. in Carmel. The grand opening kicks off with a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting on Friday at 9:45 a.m. The 5,000-square-foot store will carry everything teens and women will need for school, work, play, evenings out and evenings in, including exclusive maurices brands of Studio Y and Wear @ Work. » Fix vanishing brows – Like thinning hair, sparse brows come with age, so they

make you look older than you are. The solution: Use a brow powder to fill in patchy spots and make your arches look thicker.

Start by gently pulling your skin taut with one hand to create a smooth surface. With a stiff, angled brow brush, dust on the powder in the same direction your hairs grow, using light, feathery strokes. Concentrate on sparse areas. When you’re finished, brush the hairs up and out with a spoolie (it’s like a clean mascara wand); this blends and softens the powder so it looks more natural and removes any excess powder. Must-have products: Ardell Duo Brow Brush ($4.50; Sally Beauty Supply) and Anastasia Brow Powder Duo ($22; sephora.com ).

Colors and memories COMMENTARY

By Vicky Earley Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions. - Pablo Picasso It is impossible to separate emotion from color. Regardless of the fact that it could be association or other deeper stimulus, color does impact our feelings about our surroundings.

I see the impact on clients on a daily basis.

Greens might remind you of a favorite Aunt’s bath and have a positive effect. Yellow might remind you of a horrible dress that generated teasing in grade school.

We might not have an immediate recognition of the connection, but it lies in wait and is strong.

The following descriptions of typical emotions related to color are generalizations…there are tones within each color group that will deviate from the list. .

Yellow evokes a feeling of cheer and increases energy. It has been used in kitchens for years but has successfully worked its way into family rooms and foyers with more muted tones.

Green feels fresh. The association with plants and tree growth gives it a feeling of renewal.

Pink is soft and soothing. The femininity associated with pink promotes affection and congeniality.

Black can project sophistication. It is one of

the true neutrals so it is great for use as a bridge for rooms or other colors.

Red is passionate and demands attention. It is used effectively in dining rooms for drama and bedrooms.

Orange stimulates appetites and conversation so it is well suited for kitchens. It is also a novel color when used in the cleaner tones so it is fun for laundry rooms!

White is pure and sophisticated. It is the other true neutral so it is often used for moldings.

Purple is a color of mystery. Muted tones of plum used in dining rooms and powder rooms give a feel of drama and interest.

Blue is the color of the sky and ocean. It is not a coincidence that spas use an abundance of blues and blue green tones to develop a tranquil feel. These tones are ideal for bedrooms if a calm and restorative feeling is wanted.

If you consider the mood that a color inspires in you, there is a greater chance that you will develop a house that allows you to feel “Ah, I am home!”

Getting paper files to the Cloud COMMENTARY

By Ken Colburn Can I use DropBox as an online file storage cabinet for all of my paper records? I’d like to get rid of my storage unit and the monthly bill! - Bill DropBox (www.dropbox.com) is an awesome service created to easily store files online and access them from any device that has Internet access. It’s primarily a file-syncing service.

DropBox works by downloading a special program monitoring a folder or set of folders designated for synchronization. When a file is saved to those folders, it automatically makes a copy of the file on DropBox servers; you will have two copies of the file: one on your computer and one on the DropBox servers. However, if the file is deleted from the sync folder, it will delete the file in DropBox. How you want to look up documents in the future will help you understand how you want to name, tag and store the files.

A better solution for this type of archiving might be a service such as OfficeDrop, (http:// www.officedrop.com.) It provides a basic set of document-management tools as you upload the files.

The biggest bottleneck you’re likely to hit is your ability to scan every single piece of paper stored in all of the boxes.

OfficeDrop has two ways for you to get your paper documents scanned into their system: you

or them.

If you have internal resources to do the scanning, you can download their free ScanDrop ‘cloud scanning’ software that links your scanner directly to their online storage and management service.

It works with most name-brand scanners and it scans your documents into PDF files. You can preview each scan, change the order of the scanned pages, flip them for proper orientation and even crop the image before you upload the files to your online account.

ScanDrop is not limited to those with an OfficeDrop account; it can also upload to Evernote and Google Docs if you are already using those services.

If the task is too daunting for you to do yourself, you can use their mail-in scanning service that offers basic scanning of groups of 50 documents to bulk scanning packages if you have thousands of documents to get processed.

You can try OfficeDrop for free and upgrade to one of the pay services for more storage and features, starting at $9.95 per month, if you find that their system works for you.

DISPATCHES » Closed sales increase – According to a recent report from the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors, the number of closed sales in Hamilton County increased by 27.7 percent during July to September when compared to the same months in 2010.

During July to September 2011, median sales prices in the county dropped to $210,000, a 2.7 percent decrease. During the one-month period of September 2011, median sales price decreased 3.9 percent to $197,000. Average sales price of homes in Hamilton County decreased 4.3 percent to $254,282 when compared to the same three-month period in 2011, and dropped 2.6 percent in the onemonth comparison to $243,546. » Target opening earlier – For shoppers eager to get a head start on their holiday shopping, Target is opening its doors nationwide at midnight on Black Friday. While other retailers like Toys R Us have opted to get a jump start on Black Friday by opening on Thanksgiving night in the past, for Target, which usually opens its doors at the crack of dawn on Black Friday, this is its earliest opening ever.

» Check credentials – There are nearly 176,000 people out there calling themselves financial advisors, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with almost a quarter-million expected by 2016, and weeding through the bad apples isn’t easy. One thing to keep in mind: They’re largely unregulated. You want to look for those letters after their names. Stick to well-known programs such as CFP, CPA, CHFC, CFA. Taking an ethics pledge, among other requirements, distinguishes these advisers from the others. To put it in perspective, there were 63,601 CFP certificants as of September. In July 2011, 58 percent of the applicants passed the CFP exam the first time.

All the listed phrases stick to one simple rule: a combination of “occupy” and a place name. In other words, the hundreds of millions of Sina Weibo users are no longer allowed to search for “occupy Beijing,” for instance.

Should I increase my limits?

INSURANCE Q&A

By Ryan Samuelson Question from Willis H. from Carmel: I tell my clients all the time about the benefits of increased limits and umbrella policies. I know it’s not costly, but could you approach the benefits from an insurance perspective?

Response from Ryan Samuelson: When we talk about increasing limits, we’re talking about liability limits. Liability limits have become a little bit more confusing because of all the options that are available. Right off the bat, I’m going to take that choice down to a yes or no question. Should you increase your liability limits from the base limits? There are reasons to say “yes” and reasons to say “no.” Let’s start with why you might choose to not increase your limits.

You probably already know the reason to not increase your limits. It’s money. If you’re choosing between putting food on the table and increasing your insurance limits, it’s a pretty easy choice. However, increasing your limits is much less expensive then you may realize. Doubling your limits may only cost a couple of dollars per month after bundling your policies and selecting the proper payment plan.

The main reason to say “yes” to increasing your liability limits also is pretty easy. It’s a great way to protect your assets, your family and yourself. Most states have mandated what the minimum liability limits will be, but those minimum limits are rarely adequate.

www.youarecurrent.com

A couple of things add to the reasons to make an increase to your liability limits. The first one is inflation. Medical costs have been sky rocketing for the last 20 years and show no signs of slowing. These trends guarantee that it’s going to be costly if you hurt someone with your vehicle or someone gets hurt on your property. Increasing your limits is a great strategy to prevent these costs from coming out of your personal assets.

Another thing to keep in mind is your level of risk. Increasing your level of risk only adds to the list of reasons you should increase your coverage limits. Keep these questions and others like them in mind when you think about your personal risks: • Do you drive car pools?

• Do you have multiple drivers in your household?

• Do you have a pool / trampoline / tree house / pond?

• Do you have a boat?

• Do you entertain guests often?

There are many things to think about and plenty of reasons to consider increasing your liability limits. As always, we recommend talking this over with your independent insurance agent to find the correct solutions for you.

There’s SNOW place

While the rest of the Indianapolis area will be stuck inside and constrained by the various ice and snow storms coming this winter, we’ll be living it up at The Stratford!

At The Stratford we don’t have to go outside to get to our grand dining room for a delicious, hot meal. We don’t have to drive anywhere to pick out a good read from our library. No one has to hit the sidewalk to travel to the wellness center for some exercise (ours is just down the hall in the clubhouse). We don’t even have to clean up after our parties because the amazing staff here does it for us.

In short, while the rest of the area is digging out—we‘ll be living it up!

This could be you this winter, so call 317-733-9560 now and ask our Lifestyle Advisors about the benefits of living at The Stratford. By the first snow of this year—you’ll be glad you did!

No-fear, no-surprise budgeting REMODELING

By David Decker “Don’t recommend $30,000 cabinets for a $20,000 kitchen improvement project. It makes clients tend to not trust you.”

That’s our salesman, Joe Evans, expressing one of the great truths about custom home improvements: Estimating and budgeting should never come from opposite and competing directions. They should always be a cohesive, team-oriented enterprise of aligned goals, understood limits, common trust, and open communications.

That means the client and the home improvement professional work together.

Here’s why. “Whole new kitchen” and “whole new bathroom” mean different things to different people. My perception could be different than the client’s. Like they say, “perception is reality” and when incorrect realities start swirling around mistaken perceptions, home improvement projects are no longer fun for anyone.

If an estimate comes in very high or very low, it means the home improvement professional has done a poor job of understanding the client’s needs, wants, and budget. And the point of knowing the budget isn’t for the home improver to spend all the client’s money. It’s to maximize the value of the job.

Most of the time people have no idea what things cost, so they aren’t sure what their

budget is. That’s perfectly fine. We talk. We discuss. We ask. We communicate, and when necessary, toss out a price range to assess the client’s comfort level.

Sometimes people feel like they need to guard their budget for whatever reason – shall we say “at all costs” – and that doesn’t facilitate an open and honest relationship. That person likely will not be a client of ours because the trust has to go both ways.

Communication provides the home improvement professional with the opportunity to provide clients the most value for their money. By establishing specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time targeted objectives – by communicating – the project becomes a team effort in which everybody wins.

David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies which includes Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and most recently “Affordable Custom Flooring” based in Carmel (595-9540, www.the-affordablecompanies. com). E-mail home improvement questions to him at david.decker@ the-affordablecompanies.com.

Fall into successful seasonal maintenance habits COMMENTARY

By Randy Sorrell Addicted gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts realize the season’s demise is near. Although some appreciate the healing relief, others would love to be pinching back perennials year round.

Me? I’m an outdoors guy. The thought of hanging my bike up and retiring the pruners for three to four months requires medication, which comes in the form of books, P90X, and grilling. You bet, we grill 12 months at the Sorrell house! Shovel a path to the grill station, light the fire-feature and we call it a party.

Heads up…before the first snow surprises us, there are still outdoor responsibilities. You know the drill, but perhaps need a little encouragement. I like to develop a list and break it into sections so I can tackle them in an organized fashion. I don’t want to wake up mid-December irritated I left the hose caddy outside freezing by its’ lonesome…again.

The low hanging fruit is where to start, after clearing a section in the garage. Get the vulnerable pots inside, especially clay and concrete pots. Metal and synthetic pots often survive just fine. Also drain garden hoses and bring them inside. If you would like your new outdoor furniture to look new again next sea-

son… bring it in or establish a serious “tarping” with straps to keep the moisture out.

Some like to cut perennials back in the fall.

Although a personal preference, tender perennials like hosta, astilbe and coral bells can look a little messy if not cut back. Leave intriguing ornamental grasses and sturdy perennials with unique seed clusters standing until March.

Other late fall duties for a healthy home include. A detailed final leaf- removal, gutters and downspouts verified clean, visually inspect for loose roof shingles, dormant-tree and shrub pruning, check the chimney for repairs or cleaning, buy a new-and-improved snow shovel, grab a bag of ice melt before a snow tsunami wipes out the supply. Serious do-it-yourself junkies will drain fluids in equipment or add fuel stabilizer and clean gunk off aging tools. Not me.

How do you handle the winter blahs? Develop your game plan, go to the Monon Center and take a class or get a hobby. Remember, it’s never too cold to grill and, call if you need help.

Jolted by jean trauma LAUGHS

By Mike Redmond I had to buy some new jeans the other day, which was traumatic in more ways than one.

Perhaps it’s a symptom of the complex world in which we live. Maybe it’s a reflection of the ever-changing nature of our human population.

Or possibly people in the jeans industry simply don’t have enough to do. At any rate, jeansbuying has become very confusing.

First you have to figure out which brand to buy. In my youth, the answer was simple: Levis..

There were other brands, of course, chiefly Wrangler and Lee, and then there were the store brands. Woe to the kid who came to school in a stiff pair of store-brand jeans. At recess, he’d be left standing at the doorway. Of course, that might also have been because the jeans weren’t broken in yet and he couldn’t move his legs.

These days, you must sort through a bewildering array from a variety of manufacturers, ranging from people who have always been in the jeans business to people who make jeans as a sideline. And you don’t have the playground fashion guidelines to help you.

Then you have to choose what kind of jeans to get: Skinny cut? Loose cut? Big-butt cut?

High waist? Low waist?

Traumatic if you’re me, and you have a bad

association with jeans-buying expeditions when your Mom marched you to the saleslady in the boys’ department, pointed to the selection of non-Levis, and said “He needs something in a size six. Husky.”

Husky. The size for fat boys. The way my fat-phobic mother said it, “Husky,” sounded criminal. She might just as well have asked for a size-six ax murderer.

That’s where the jeans trauma comes in. I start looking for jeans and my brain locks up knowing I am going to be presented with about 246 jeans possibilities, none of which will be completely right for me. I end up making my jeans selection by employing the time-honored eeenie-meenie-miney-mo method. I end up with a pair of uncomfortable pants trying to strangle me, another kind of trauma altogether.

The other day, I went through the traumatic jeans-shopping adventure. Jeans, the most utilitarian of clothing, have gotten ridiculously costly, especially the ones I chose: The underthe-gut cut.

Ba da bing LAUGHS

By Dick Wolfsie On the radio the other day, there was a discussion about Internet search engines. One of the guests wanted to locate the longitude and latitude of an emerging African nation and had begun his hunt with the phrase: WHERE IS_____.

Before he finished typing the name of the country, Google offered him suggestions, anticipating what he might be trying to find. Their initial recommendations were: My tax Refund; Frankenmuth, Germany; and Chuck Norris.

Okay, who wouldn’t like to find Frankenmuth, Germany? But how did the other two get to the top of the list? I don’t really understand the calculus behind the search results, so I experimented. I first plugged in: I THINK I HAVE_____. Before I finished entering the malady serious illnesses like AIDS, and cancer.

Another one was worms. I clicked on it and it took me to a medical advice Web site where a young man had posted a concern he had: “I am 24 years old. I think I have parasites in my stomach because I keep hearing strange noises in my gut and a few years ago I actually found a six-inch worm in my Fruit of the Looms.”

As a person who is always misplacing things, I decided to try: I CAN’T FIND MY______.

Top suggestions by Google were wallet and

24 | November 8, 2011

glasses, but crackers also made it to the top tier.

I won’t feel so stupid anymore when I forget where I put my keys. Not when people in my own neighborhood have apparently lost track of their Triscuits.

Just for fun, I began typing: THE BEST THING_____. At the top of the results was: “I Ever Ate,” which is the name of a popular cable TV food show. There were countless other sites including the expression, “THE BEST THING.” Then I added: _____ABOUT DICK WOLFSIE and soon discovered out of 1,473,345 sites containing the phrase THE Anytime Fitness BEST THING, approximately none of them mentioned my name. A little depressing to be sure, but Google is only 15 years old. People don’t take to me right away.
