Fishers announces $33 million mixed-use development New structure to bring retail, residential opportunities to downtown

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Today, a Fishers resident passing by Town Hall sees an open field in front of the governmental hub. In the future, if all goes according to plan, that resident will see a four-story, mixed-use development.

The Town of Fishers formally announced a “finalist” for the development that will take up one of the two fields in front of 1 Municipal Dr., off 116th Street.

The overall price tag for the project: $33 million.

The cost covers approximately 25,000 square feet of retail space, 203 luxury apartments for rent, a parking garage with 406 spaces and 16 surface spaces.

Construction is set to begin in mid 2013 and will end in 2015.

Developer Flaherty & Collins Properties was selected to develop the land from a field of six candidates, which was narrowed down to three that then went before the town council.

“It was a very difficult decision for the council to choose because the six proposals were all strong,” said Tom Dickey, community development director.

“We feel very confident that where we’re at today, we’re in a good place with that developer,” Town Manager Scott Fadness said, “and we think that there’s no real red flags that we see that would come up at this point, but council still has to weigh this in a public forum and make a decision.”

Dickey said Flaherty & Collins will be footing most of the bill through taxes captured by a tax increment funding district.

The company will not get an abatement on the deal and will pay the taxes on the property.

Dickey said those taxes will be used

Fishers Super Target closes and reopens after fire – The Fishers Super Target located off of I-69 closed for part of Thursday when a fire started around 9 a.m. Investigators believe the fires started when work was being done on a cardboard baler with a torch, according to a post on the Town of Fishers web site. The store opened back up that afternoon.

Child car seat installation – Want to learn the proper way to install a child seat? Visit 2 Municipal Dr., FFD headquarters, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. tomorrow. For more information, visit fishers.in.us or call 595-3205.

Get the letters to Santa ready – A special mailbox that sends letters directly to Santa is now at the Fishers Parks and Recreation Offices (11565 Brooks School Rd.). All letters need a self-addressed stamped envelope so Santa can write back. It’s intended for fourth grade and younger kids.

Site plan for the development to pay bonds that helped pay for the investment.

He said at the end of the day approximately 30 percent of the project will be paid for through public investment because the town sees the parking structure as an investment in public parking.

Part of the public investment will go towards increasing aesthetics.

Looking at the retail space, the town wants local retailers to be the focus, with little representation of national businesses.

Fadness said he believes they’ve struck a balance that allows financial viability for “mom and pop” businesses to get a shot at grabbing up the retail space.

“Revitalizing our downtown is not just about the property taxes that are raised off of that piece of property,” Fadness said.

“To attract the type of talented work force that we want to live in our community and to fill jobs, you need a place for them to go. You need a sense of place … Some of this investment downtown is really an

N o v e m b e r 6, 2 0 1 2

investment in I think our overall economic development.”

Fadness said he considers this Phase One of a bigger project. A second building is envisioned for the field and area containing the train station and Fishers Chamber of Commerce.

But the town is taking this all one step at a time.

Officials have said the vision for a development that will mirror the first will go in that space, but the town is focused on this first project.

Flaherty & Collins is not guaranteed to land the second building.

Fadness said infrastructure improvements will be made to accommodate the new development.

“Traffic to me is a little bit of a necessary evil … if it’s a ghost town, you’ve got real problems.”

The final proposal will be presented to the town council and the redevelopment commission.

Vintage Saturday – The Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace will host “Vintage Saturday” from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Fountains Conference Center in Carmel. A continuation of the outdoor edition of the popular Vintage & Antique Show held at Glendale Town Centre, the indoor version will feature more than 120 spaces of Vintage, Antique, Re & Upcycled goods.

Second-class city transition in its infancy

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com

The political turmoil leading up to the vote changing Fishers into a second-class city is over, but the process to make that transition happen is just beginning.

One of the upcoming elections will change the power structure of the town.

“Obviously we’re going to do what the state statute tells us to do,” Town Manager Scott Fadness said. “We’ve already identified a lot of that.

Really, the first step would be council deciding whether they want to do it in 2014, start in ‘15 or 2015 and start in ’16.”

When the Town of Fishers shifts to secondclass city status, a popularly elected mayor will be in charge. The other big change, besides the elimination of an elected clerk-treasurer and appointment of a controller, is at the council level. Six council seats will be voted on by each district and an additional three will be voted on at-large – a major departure from today’s sevenmember town council.

New boards also will be added to the mix.

“There’s really no ‘oh, my God, we need to get this done this minute,’ so I think everybody is just kind of letting the dust settle,” Fadness said. “Let’s everybody take the emotion out of it. It was a very emotional issue.”

He said the first step is for the council to pass an ordinance setting the date.

Leading up to the first day of office for the new mayor, the town of Fishers will continue to tow the line.

“Prior to that, the government has to continue to function until that time,” he said.

Fadness said more information on the transition will most likely be available in the next couple months.

He said he didn’t have all the answers this early in the game for the council’s transition process.

“It can get ugly in that re-districting fight, there’s no doubt about that,” Fadness said, “but we’ll see… There’s other work that needs to be done and continued to work on, and that’s what at least the 400 employees that are here worry about.”

Community Health Network launches Indiana’s first exclusive local affiliation with MD Anderson Cancer Network editorial@youarecurrent.com

Community Health Network announced on Nov. 15 that Community Hospital North and Community Hospital East will become affiliates of MD Anderson Cancer Network, a program of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

This collaboration will provide certified physicians at these two Community hospitals with access to evidence-based guidelines, treatment plans and concordance studies developed

by MD Anderson experts. These are diseasespecific guidelines for cancer treatment, cancer prevention, early detection and follow-up care, bringing new hope to local cancer patients by using treatment guidelines developed by a national leader in cancer care. For nine of the past 11 years, including 2012, MD Anderson has ranked No. 1 in cancer care in the “Best Hospitals” survey published by U.S. News & World Report.

“This is a game changer for our network,” said Community Health Network President and CEO Bryan Mills. “By teaming up with MD Anderson Cancer Network, we’re combining the best of what we provide locally with

the world-renown expertise of MD Anderson.

Professionals in the medical field know the MD Anderson name very well, as it’s the gold standard for cancer care. Through our exclusive local affiliation, we’ll help to raise the standard of cancer care in Central Indiana.”

Community oncologists now certified by MD Anderson Cancer Network will initially treat cancer patients at Community Hospital North and Community Hospital East. Plans are to seek MD Anderson Cancer Network certification of cancer centers at Community Hospital Anderson, Community Howard Regional Health, and at Community Hospital South.

“Community Health Network has a long tradition of providing exceptional health care in Central Indiana. We’re excited about this new relationship, which will further enhance patient care by adding MD Anderson expertise,” said Bill Murphy, M.D., MD Anderson Physicians Network chairman. “Together, we’ll ensure that patients across Indiana have access to the highest quality cancer care available.”

Residents donate more than 26 tons of materials for Recycling Day

By Nancy Edwards • editorial@youarecurrent.com More than 26 tons of recyclable materials have avoided a permanent home in a landfill, thanks to the efforts of more than 700 Fishers residents who participated in Recycling Day on Nov. 10.

DAO Recycling partnered with the Town of Fishers Stormwater Utility, Quick Shred, Bee Environmental Management and Fishers Optimists Club to hold the third annual event in the parking lot of Roy G. Holland Memorial Park.

According to Dale Needleman, business development manager for DAO Recycling, over 12 tons of electronics equipment was donated, as well as 10 tons of metals, yard equipment, bikes and cardboard, alongside over 3 tons of shredded paper.

“We’ll separate and dismantle everything so that it goes back to its original commodity form,” Needleman said, “that otherwise would have been in landfills.”

A large variety of items is donated each year

for Recycling Day: from washers, dryers and stoves, to books, cell phones, mattresses, antifreeze, oil and acids.

Jill Scott, a school librarian who said she has been donating items for Recycling Day for the past three years, showed up for Recycling Day with household items and videotapes from school.

“These are things I can’t put in the trash,” she said. “I believe in recycling and am very concerned about our environment.”

Richard Leek, who donated old computers and shredded financial documents, said that he is just as concerned about the environment as he is about security.

“Security is an issue for me and my store,” he said. “After I did some research, I discovered it’s a sensitive way to dispose of everything now. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized the importance of recycling as it relates to mother earth. I’m more cognizant of the importance of it all.”

Needleman calls the event a “win-win” situation. “We’re saving the earth and the people in it,” he said.

Town Council

What happened: Council approved the consent agenda that included a resolution to declare Town of Fishers property as surplus.

What it means: The town’s staff needs approval from the council to make property surplus items. The items declared surplus in the last town council meeting included the decommissioned Barrington Estates Wastewater Treatment Plant, three submersible pumps, servers, switches and a scanner, according to a council action form from Nathan George, deputy town manager. The plant and pumps are set for auction, and the electronic equipment will be traded or auctioned.

What happened: Council approved the consent agenda, which included a resolution for transferring the town’s funds.

What it means: The council needed to approve the transfer of funds. This included Future of Fishers expenses, which amounted to $46,355.41, according to an itemized list provided by Maura Leon-Barber, director of public relations. The overall funds transfer amounted to $282,535.00, encompassing other administration, fire and police needs.

What happened: Second reading was held to for an amendment to the Seasons Gardens PUD What it means: A petitioner, Akin Enterprises, is looking to get a text amendment to the PUD at Seasons Gardens, which will become Cumberland Crossing (126th Street and Cumberland Road).

The petitioner is looking to have various uses at the location. Town staff recommended the council to hold second reading, suspend the rules and vote, but after a lengthy discussion of the uses at the location – including a kennel – the councilors did not follow the advice. They’ll come back with revisions at third reading.

Expanding to become St.Vincent Fishers Hospital. Opening Spring 2013 13914 Southeastern Parkway Fishers, IN • 317-415-9000

Fixing kids’ bone injuries and more, right here in Fishers.

Among the most common injuries kids experience are broken bones—especially as a result of sports injuries. Signs of a broken bone include the following: • An inability to put weight on the injured bone or joint • Severe bending at the injured joint • Soreness that lasts for more than a few days At St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast, emergency physicians and pediatric orthopedic specialists can expertly diagnose bone injuries in children.

“It is sometimes difficult to tell if your child has a bone injury or fracture,” said William Didelot, MD, pediatric orthopedic surgeon.“The most significant factor is pain over the bone. If this persists for more than a few hours after the injury, or if there is any gross deformity or swelling, the child should be seen by a provider.”

To learn more about preventing and caring for bone injuries in children, scan the QR code for a free video

from Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent. And don’t forget, you can call 317-338-KIDS to speak to a registered nurse, 24/7.

Some of Indiana’s best pediatric sub-specialists from Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent treat children at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast in the following areas: • Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes Management: (317-338-3100) • Pediatric Orthopedics: (317-338-7674) • Pediatric Ear, Nose and Throat: (317-338-6815) • Pediatric Pulmonology and Asthma Management: (317-338-2825) For more information, visit northeast.stvincent.org.

Meet Carrie Beahm, OB Manager at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast Over the last 13 years, Registered Nurse Carrie Beahm has done it all. She’s worked in labor and delivery, orthopedics, neurology, high-risk obstetrics, and as a float nurse in a variety of other specialty areas. Now, as obstetrics manager at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast, Carrie is back to doing what she loves best: providing expert care for mothers and their newborn children.

“St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast is expanding to include new services, including comprehensive maternity care,” Carrie said. “Our new LDRP (Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum) unit will make the child birthing experience much more comfortable for new mothers, because they’ll never have to leave the room from the moment they go into labor to the time they’re ready to leave the hospital.”

Carrie is also looking forward to April 2013, when St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast will become St.Vincent Fishers Hospital. “St.Vincent Fishers Hospital will be a great fit for the Fishers/Noblesville area,” she said.

Cover Story

Lt. Jamey Burrows, Capt. Clinton Crafton and Alex Riddahgni

Fishers firefighters return to Indiana after answering the call of duty in New York Editor’s Note: Two of the firefighters involved with Task Force One, Jay Updike and David Bobo, were not available at the interview.

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com With much less than a day’s notice, five Fishers firefighters shipped out to New York to be part of the federal response to Hurricane Sandy and the swath of destruction it cut across the Northeast.

Lt. David Bobo, Lt. Jamey Burrows, Capt.

Jay Updike, Capt. Clinton Crafton and Firefighter Alex Riddhagni are five of 14 Fishers members of a response unit based out of Indianapolis, Task Force One. In the wake of the destruction wrought by Sandy, the organization was called up and sent to the Long Island and Long Beach areas of New York to help with relief efforts there.

Task Force One is just one of 28 identically structured groups around the country that are called up by FEMA, as well as the state’s they reside in.

They hit New York and started going doorto-door to perform welfare checks in the areas washed over by flooding that brought the beach inland. According to the firefighters, some www.currentinfishers.com

residents sought shelter, while others stayed in their homes.

“The longer we were there, the more we realized just how serious this was and how bad these people were impacted,” Crafton said.

Burrows said Task Force One were the first officials to visit some of the flood-battered towns.

The group said the area looked like the beach was brought inland, complete with sand drifts only moveable by construction equipment and seashells miles away from where they belonged.

“A lot of those people, you’d talk to them and they had no idea,” Crafton said. “You know that they thought that they were the worst hit area.

They had no idea that Staten Island had been wiped out. Breezy Point lost 100 homes.”

“Even cell phones were down,” Riddhagni said, “and they couldn’t even charge them because their cars wouldn’t start.”

The firefighters said cars get towed, because the tidal surge of saltwater wrecked the electronics of every vehicle in its path.

Crafton said local fire departments provided people the opportunity to charge their phones with rows of power outlets being used.

“It was interesting to see a real community feel from that respect,” Bobo he said.

The wearing nature of no electricity and water-logged homes wasn’t visible from helicopters or airplanes.

Burrows was reminded of the gas crises in the 1970s after witnessing the few gas stations in the area sill in operation. Cars created mile-long lines, with people staying in line over night to keep their spots.

“A lot of people ran out of gas while sitting in the gas line,” he said.

Navigating devastation

Burrows said the bird’s-eye view wouldn’t have revealed the flood-damaged homes.

According to Crafton, salt water also flooded, and destroyed, two major power plants that powered the area.

When the firefighters told the people what they

knew, Crafton said he could see them come to the realization that it might be time to pack up.

The firefighters covered miles upon miles of homes, navigating congested towns crawling with emergency personnel.

“We were almost treated like the president’s motorcade,” Burrows said. “Every time we went to and from our base camp, we got escorted lights-and-sirens through the towns.”

Each squad of responders also had one or two armed U.S. Marshals in tow to protect them in case anyone got the idea to pull a weapon on the firefighters when opening a door or attempt to hostilely take their cargo – meals ready to eat, water and gasoline – that was needed to keep the crews moving.

Crafton said the best breakfast he had on a segment of the 10-day mission was a cold MRE version of chicken tetrazzini. After the meals and being away from family, he walked away with new perspective.

“I have such an improved and so much greater respect for our military,” he said. “The sacrifice those people make is just remarkable.”

Now back in Indiana, the firefighters are back to business as usual.

Crafton said, “It was neat to see the federal response, just how huge it was.”

Role reversal

It is our position that a paradigm shift in the gender gap is forcing a change in attitude among men and women. Women surpass men in the U.S. workforce, college graduation rates and now, in the number of licensed drivers.

According to author, motivational speaker and radio show host Coach Michael Taylor, many men are becoming tired and frustrated with the antiquated male roles in society and it is probably for the better.

Taylor believes that despite the uncertainty and confusion some men are experiencing, these changing roles for men are actually good and can actually help eradicate some of the social issues that plague our country and lead to divorce, financial woes and depression. He is asking men to join him in his new revolution which he calls, A Conversation with Men. How about instead of men having a conversation with one another, they have the conversation with their spouse. Does every movement need a label? Perhaps the primary breadwinner has always felt pressure when wearing the pants in the family.

However, will a level playing field really create balance, or will women soon be reshaped and grow callused by the pressures of being the breadwinner? Only time will tell.

The last word

Commentary by Terry Anker

This business of putting thoughts to paper carries with it some joys, some laments and a dash of in-between. Those of us who manage to write regularly can extol the virtue of ranting at a keyboard instead of a coworker.

We can claim the calm that comes from expression – even if it is never heard (or read) by anyone other than ourselves. For me over these past many years, writing has become a labor of love. While it took some time to figure it out, I finally understand the need of some to keep a journal or at least take some notes here and there.

But like most of life’s pleasures, it is balanced with peril. When one puts pen to paper, it is hard to retract or rephrase. It is out there – uninformed or even ignorant – people get to judge based only on a few words one’s measure. I enjoy biographies of historic figures. The materials often come from meticulous research through the personal papers and even diaries of these people. Would they have

taken greater care had they known that years later others would be combing their random thoughts seeking inconsistency or worse?

And when putting something into the public space, special attention must be paid to word choice. Is a phrase or use of lexicon offensive (unintentionally) or sending an inadvertent message? Does it mean something different to a reader not born in the US? Does it mean something different to a reader born after 1985? Has the thought that one believed to be so unique, already been said before?

When we’re talking face-to-face, so much more data is shared. We can respond to the body language of the listener and respond on the fly to changes in mood. At least with the written word, one gets the last word.

It’s a great time of year, the colder weather notwithstanding, because it’s officially the start of the holiday season. Some big-box stores would have you believe the holiday shopping season began back around Aug. 17, but we still were slathering on the sunscreen back then. No, it’s on now, and this Saturday brings a special opportunity for you and those that own enterprises in our midst. It’s Small Business Saturday, something of its own national holiday in our circle, a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for our communities.

Please join us as we support the local shopkeepers by buying local; it is exactly that which will fuel our own holiday season. Many of our advertising partners are smaller businesses, and many of those are represented in Gifts 2012 in today’s paper. Help us help them make a difference - and their cash registers ring - on Saturday.

Besides, you’ll find unique gifts that may be had only this way. That’s what also makes Small Business Saturday special. And when you shop those establishments, please thank the owners for doing all they do in participating in the local economy, for they are the backbone of it. For more information, visit www.shopsmall.com.

You’ll be glad you did.

Doo versus Thai-hot

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I love my husband. Not only is he the funniest person I know, but he also proves to be an endless source of column ideas. Typically it’s of the “Doo is driving me crazy!” variety, but occasionally the fodder is pure situation comedy.

Take last night. We took the kids out to dinner to celebrate our eldest’s birthday. Doo’s mom also joined us and, as we piled into the mini-van, Doo mentioned that his stomach was a little on edge. He’d eaten Thai food for lunch with some buddies and thought maybe that was the source of his discomfort.

Once seated, we ordered an appetizer and drinks, and Doo politely excused himself to go the restroom. He was gone for a good 15 minutes, long enough that he missed out on most of the calamari and bread. “Are you OK, babe?” I asked. “Do you want to just split something?”

“That did not go well,” Doo replied with a sigh. “I worked through some of it, but the rest is coming. Soon.” Doo managed to finish his soup and about half of his salad, but had to excuse himself again before dessert. He told me to order him a coffee and the tiramisu, and then walked rather quickly to the men’s room.

Ten minutes later he was back, still looking kind of off. “Why did I eat Thai-hot today?” he moaned. “We’re going to have to leave fairly soon. I’m not finished and it’s not going to be

To borrow from Dylan, the times they are a changin’ Commentary by Dan Domsic

pretty when I do.” So we paid our bill, loaded Grams and the kids back into the car, and began the relatively short trip home. I was driving.

Before we even reached the stop sign in the parking lot, Doo turned to me and said, “I am not kidding. Get me home NOW or I can’t be held responsible for what happens in this seat.”

His complexion was now the color of Sweet Mint, and a fine sheen of sweat had broken out on his forehead. Naturally, we all began to mock him. Through the guffaws, I could hear poor Doo chanting, “I’m not going to make it, I’m not going to make it.”

As I giggled at the thought of a possible Bridemaids re-enactment, Doo frantically pulled out his phone and dialed his brother who lives about half way in between. “Have the door open and clear the way,” he yelled, clutching the armrest for dear life. “Hee, hee, hoo” I coached, and then literally let loose from laughing so hard.

I’m not proud that I broke several speeding laws to get Doo to that bathroom, but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Because I really do love my husband. Peace out.

Missing link Commentary by Dick Wolfsie It was an exciting week for me. I’ve received over 500 congratulatory e-mails. What had I done to deserve this recognition? I didn’t have the foggiest idea.

It all began with an appointment to meet a local businessman about a speech I was to give to his company. I logged onto my computer and went to a well-known site to see if there was any information about this CEO. I had joined LinkedIn back in 2007, but I tired of it very quickly because it appeared to have similar people who were on Facebook, only many of the LinkedIn members were actually looking for work, rather than wasting time on the Internet while at work.

For several years, I ignored all requests for others to “link” with me, so my password had become inactive. This seemed fair because “inactive” was a pretty good description of my degree of motivation the past decade. When I updated my settings, every request for a connection that I had successfully ignored for so long was automatically sent out. Suddenly, I had more links than the night shift at the Johnsonville brat factory.

Then I received emails lauding me for finally coming out of my cave: “Congratulations,” www.currentinfishers.com

they all said, “you are now linked in with Betty, Hermione, Ezra and Terrance” (and several hundred others). How often had I thought about touching base with these individuals? “Never” was the first word that came to mind.

The subject line of these emails enticed me to “learn more about” Phyllis, Oscar, Tony and Deidra, among others. Of course, the bar was low because I knew nothing about these people to begin with. The few I really did know personally wrote back to thank me for finally reaching out. They also wanted to know what took me so darn long. I plan to respond by 2017.

By the way, associates you connect with also have the opportunity to “endorse” you, which I think means they have used your service and would recommend you to others. Out of 500 names I was suddenly linked to, one person actually endorsed me. I know that is nothing to brag about, but you might as well congratulate me. Everyone else has.

When I get ready to start my week, the first thing I write for Current is this column. It feels like a sound beginning to the writing and forces me not to write about specific news items when they crop up. Often, it doesn't work.

That leaves some breathing room to really think about how I feel about a topic and if I really want to weigh in. There’s a little bit of catharsis, too.

I’m going to break my own guideline this week, and take some space to address the changing dynamics in Fishers.

After finishing deadline for last week’s paper and grabbing a bite to eat, it was time for a town council meeting.

It was business as usual at the meeting, for the most part.

The good people of WISH-TV were there to cover it, hanging out not too far from the press table that’s been my work station every other week for the past six months.

The fact that dynamics of local government will drastically change down the road was mentioned very little.

With the meeting over, I briefly chatted with people in town hall. On my way out, I talked with blogger and Current columnist Larry Lannan about everything we’ve written about and will write about.

I realized what all is changing around me.

Two groups that battled hard for months, one for years, now have nothing to fight over (One can only hope. Just in case, I won’t hold my breath.). The town now must turn its attention to figuring out how to transition to a city, and the people that I’ve spent so much time talking to about the issue may fade to the background.

It might be the first time in a while that those in charge and those working towards specific goals at town hall have to ask what exactly the next steps are. That can be scary for anyone.

What I do know is that they’ll figure it out and get in step.

In three months of covering the town vs. city debate, I met some characters and wrote some cool stories. I hope those characters choose to stick around.

What’s more is that I’ve been able to expand the team I work with at Current. I’m glad to have welcomed Jordyn Didier and Nancy Edwards to Current, as well the volunteer columnist, Lannan.

I’m truly sorry for such a delay with the slice-of-life columnist post. My goal is to have one selected and writing after the holiday.

Guidelines for tackling the big bird

Submitted photo

Here’s now to serve a better bird

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com There’s more than one way to skin your Thanksgiving bird.

Some like it baked, others like it deep-fried and still others go for a barbecued turkey.

For many, cooking and presenting the turkey is a passion. Some would say it is the equivalent of Christmas morning.

Yet, for those who have ever been presented with the monumental task of preparing a feast of such magnitude, Thanksgiving Day also can bring Cordelia with it challenges and situations that require a considerable amount of thought and planning.

Newcomers may even feel slightly intimidated at the thought of wrestling with a cumbersome turkey.

Jack Cordelia, head chef at Famous Dave’s Barbecue in Noblesville, offers some tips on turkey prep for both novices and veterans.

“Preparing to cook it, you may want to brine it first, that is, soak it in a salt solution the night before you cook it. That will help lock in the flavor,” he said.

As for cooking the turkey, Cordelia recom16 | November 20, 2012

BIRD BIND? If you find yourself in a bind Thursday, friendly folks will be standing by the phone to answer your last minute turkey questions. Don’t be afraid to give them a ring; it could save the day!

• Reynolds Turkey Tips: (800) 745-4000; 24 hours • Butterball Turkey Talk Line: (800) BUTTERBALL (800-288-8373); 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST on Thanksgiving Day • Honeysuckle White: (800) 810-6325.

Recorded answers to FATQ (turkey questions) • Foster Farms: (800) 255-7227; 24 hours mends that you have a cooking thermometer to gauge the readiness of the turkey.

“You want to make sure that you cook it through to the innermost part at 180 degrees.

The length of time will depend on the size of the bird,” he said. “When it’s done you’ll want to let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.

If you carve too soon, the juices will run everywhere and that will dry out the turkey.”

For more information on various turkey recipes and preparations, Cordelia recommends www.foodchannel.com.

Whether you’re tackling a Thanksgiving turkey for the first or hundredth time, our top tips will ensure your big bird is the best it can be.

• For crisper skin, unwrap the turkey the day before roasting and leave it uncovered in the refrigerator overnight.

• Cooking times will differ depending on whether your bird was purchased fresh or frozen. Plan on 20 minutes per pound in a 350 degree F oven for a defrosted turkey and 10 to 15 minutes per pound for fresh.

• For even roasting, truss your turkey.

• Before roasting, coat the outside of the turkey with vegetable or olive oil, season with salt and pepper and tightly cover the breast with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning • Don’t be a peeping Tom (no pun intended)! Once you get the turkey in the oven, resist the temptation to open the oven door and admire your handiwork. When the oven temperature fluctuates, you’re only increasing the likelihood of a dry bird. About 45 minutes before you think the turkey is done, remove the foil from the breast to allow it to brown.

• Remove the turkey from the oven when the deepest spot between the leg and the breast reads 180 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.

Check the internal temperature of the stuffing as well; it should be at least 165 degrees.

• Tent the bird with foil and let rest for about 15 minutes before carving.

Lawrence of Arabia: 50th Anniversary Edition • PG, 227 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd “Nothing is written,” T.E. Lawrence famously says. But almost from the moment “Lawrence of Arabia” hit theaters in 1962, it seemed destined to become one of the most iconic films ever made.

It is by most reckonings the pinnacle of the epic movie-making impulse that surged in the 1950s and ‘60s – a grand, lush drama filled with exotic foreign trappings and a history-making tale to tell. It won a slew of awards, including the Best Picture Oscar, and deserved them all.

A restoration of director David Lean’s masterpiece was released in theaters in 1989 – one of the last films distributed in a 70mm print. Now, a new digital remastering from the original film negative has been completed for the movie’s 50th

anniversary. After a brief theatrical run, it debuted in two Blu-ray collections Nov. 13.

The story is familiar to any serious film lover: an oddball British lieutenant is plucked from obscurity during World War I to act as liaison to the disparate Arabic desert tribes, and he ends up forging them into a united army that helps take down the Turkish Empire. As he becomes a famous and charismatic figure, Lawrence finds his sanity crumbling as his lust for power grows.

Bar: Nickel Plate Bar & Grill (8654 E. 116th St., Fishers)

A game of one-upsmanship One-upmanship can be defined as the art or practice of successively outdoing a competitor.

In our case the competition is not the opposing team, rather it’s the other tailgaters in our parking lot. Way back in 1992, I remember when a man attached a flag pole and flag to his minivan. His flag, sporting the team name and logo, waved in the fall breeze. The next game, another tailgater had a larger flag on a higher poll. Week after week the “war of the flags” rose to higher levels.

Finally after all parties had taken things up to the highest level money could buy, one man arrived and dealt the coup de grâce. He brought an inflatable mini blimp, in team colors. He filled it with helium gas and let it rise to the sky, easily more than 100 feet. The blimp was tethered to his vehicle by a long rope and on the rope hung a huge team flag. The war of the flags was over!

So much for one-upsmanship, right, or should I say “yeah right!” To try to make one’s tailgate set-up bigger and better is a natural male urge that must be allowed to run its course. Eventually, after accumulating tents, canopies, coolers, sound systems, themed vehicles, and bigger and better grills, each tailgater will start to realize that a tailgate party is a social event, not a competition. It’s a time to relax. Don’t get me wrong, it’s www.currentinfishers.com

still fun to watch rookie tailgaters compete with one another, but for now, when we speak of competition it’s about having better food.

Here’s a great cold weather dish that will stand out as the best food in your parking lot.

It’s called bœuf bourguignon, or Beef Burgundy.

Ingredients: 2 to 3 pounds good beef (like chuck steak) cubed, 1/4 cup canola oil, 10 or more small onions peeled, but whole, 1 teaspoon kosher salt,1 pound fresh mushrooms, 1 bottle burgundy wine Prepare: Trim all the fat from the beef and then stir fry it in a large stew pot. Remove these pieces of fat with a slotted spoon and then add the cubed meat and oil. Brown this mixture for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the salt and onions and then cover the mixture with the wine and simmer 30 minutes. Clean the mushrooms with a brush and then slice them into thin profile slices. Add these mushrooms to the mixture and then cover with the remainder of the wine. Simmer 30 minutes longer and then take one piece of beef and taste it. If it’s tender and full of that rich wine taste, it’s done. If not tender then cook it longer.

Correcting post-nursing breast issues Commentary by Barry Eppley Q: I need to remove excess skin from below my belly button and lift my breasts. I breast fed all four of my children and had a set of twins who stretched my stomach out tremendously. I have tried situps, but they won’t take care of this loose skin.

A: Multiple pregnancies, particularly twins, push the skin past its elastic deformation limit.

In essence, it snaps the rubber band nature of the abdominal skin forever, relegating many women to loose and often floppy skin that is seen the most between the belly button and the pubic area. The surest sign of permanently lost skin elasticity are stretch marks, which represent incomplete tears in the skin. This is like making

little snips partially through a rubber band; it weakens or eliminates its elasticity. You are correct in stating that exercise is not going to tighten skin nor will weight loss. The problem is a surgical and will require skin excision and underlying muscle tightening, a perfect description for a tummy tuck. Whether your tummy tuck would be a partial (mini-) or a full tummy tuck I cannot say without seeing pictures of you. But my guess would be that after four children, a full tummy tuck with maximal skin removal is likely in order.

Preparing for and handling a home fire Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Kenny C. from West Clay: The freak explosion on the south side has me trying to figure out a plan for my family if we are involved in a home fire. I don’t know where to start. Got any advice?

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 over 13,000 people a 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 on 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 with opening the windows.

Stock tip – Texas Roadhouse runs close to 400 restaurants, including several around Indianapolis. The company should be able to grow at least 10% a year for at least five more years, and is conservatively run. It has little debt and plenty of extra cash flow to pay a respectable 2.1% dividend yield. – Ryan C. Fuhrmann, CFA, via finance.yahoo.com. Contact him at ryan@fuhrmanncapital.com.

• 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.

• DON’T 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 independent insurance agent.

Stone the kids! A look at difficult verses Commentary by Mike Colaw To truly understand the story of the church, I need to back up a few thousand years before its inception in the book of Acts. So much of the misconceptions many have about Christianity originate from a misunderstanding about how the books of the Bible work cumulatively — it is a whole story from Genesis to Revelation.

A number of weeks ago I was talking with a good friend of mine, Dr. Chad Carmichael. We entered into a discussion about the trajectories of scripture, how we so often misunderstand what is taking place because we unintentionally miss the meta-narrative of scripture. Let me give an example Dr. Carmichael and I discussed that originated with a man named Dennis Prager. Tucked away in Deuteronomy 21, we see a command to stone rebellious children. Though this may reduce talking back in the home, we would all agree that punishment seems incredibly severe, especially since the over-arching heart of scripture, for instance in the New Testament with parables like the Prodigal Son (Luke 15), doesn’t seem to line up with this. If all you do is look at that specific text, you will miss the divine process that is happening. In that day and age there is much evidence that parents had almost no boundaries on how they disciplined their children. When God mandated in Old Testament law some form of justice by taking the child to the elders of the city for judgment,

it was radical for that day. It was actually merciful considering that in the historical context of this time parents could do whatever they wanted to their children with no accountability.

God, like a strategic chess player, begins to set a trajectory of how all people have value. Even children.

God sets in motion a movement that will ultimately come to the place where Christ looks at children and tells his followers that the kingdom of God is for «such as these.» (Luke 19:13-15) The story of redemption is one that began thousands of years ago and culminated on the cross, and still today those truths propel the ethics with which we are to continue. One of the greatest tragedies in church history is when leaders pick signpost commands in the Bible and ignore the directional intention of them. Dr. Timothy Keller writes in his observations of the theologian John Calvin, “God so identifies with the poor that their cries express divine pain. The Bible teaches us that our treatment of them equals our treatment of God.” Our method as Christians should be truth propelled by the vehicle of grace and mercy. The goal is the winning of a heart through love, not a cruel control of or indifference towards those who have less of a voice.

A backyard playground for the entire family Commentary by Randy Sorrell What’s THE ultimate backyard living amenity? In my view, that distinction belongs to the custom fireplace and grill station. Experience proves that no other luxury brings people together and inspires more memories than this.

This Villages of West Clay backyard handles both the large footprint of the home and the valued green space that weaves through the neighborhood and directly behind the home. Completely custom, no pre-fabricated components are seen here; it boasts a Wisconsin cobble and mortar exterior that echoes a gorgeous interior fireplace. Limestone counters are very appropriate for the tone of the space and were smartly sourced in Indiana, of course.

Ample counter space grows from each side of the fireplace and will easily accommodate several visitors, particularly coupled with the already gracious size patio. The grill station counter proudly houses the “green egg” from Chef JJ in Broadripple, and it is easily the center of attention if you are a grilling dude. What a treat!

Shade Almost every outdoor project has some sort

of shade management component and this was no exception. In fact, a southwestern exposure prompted this space to completely bake and become off limits for much of the summer. Strategically located, the new structure will protect the happy Carmel family in that challenging 5-8 p.m. timeframe when the sun manages to sneak below the pergola or porch roofline. Midday protection is accomplished with the help of abbreviated pergolas over each counter as well as an edgy overhead shade sail. Exterior grade blinds recessed between the pergola beams offer additional protection, help with privacy and magically behave as a screen on movie night.

Dedicated homeowners with these marvelous structures appreciate that outdoor living can extend almost uninterrupted through winter with the right planning. We do have our limits though. What’s yours?

The beauty of an island F.C. Tucker Congratulates Commentary by David Decker

Today, people use their kitchen for more than just preparing meals. The kitchen is the social center of the home where kids, adults, family members and party guests tend to congregate, which is why for many homeowners, no kitchen is quite complete without an island in the center of the space. Islands have become popular focal points of the modern kitchen, and it’s easy to see why. They make cooking and entertaining so much easier. And since the biggest cooking event of the year is on its way later this month, here are a few kitchen island design ideas just in time for Thanksgiving.

Because they are centrally located, islands often become the focal point of the kitchen from a functionality standpoint. Islands make it easy to accommodate the activities and groups of people who are busy bustling around in the kitchen. And with the holidays approaching, it’s helpful to have space for the extra cooks who may be in the kitchen. Islands can function as extra countertop space, or they can be equipped with an extra sink to make an excellent cooking prep station. Some homeowners even choose to wire their stove onto a kitchen island, which frees up countertop space around other areas of the kitchen. Islands also function as easy-toaccess storage space or as a place to display food and beverages during a party.

Certain kitchen island models become popular because they make it possible to do several activities at once. For example, there are island designs that feature multiple countertop levels.

The lower level usually functions as a cooking workspace, while the higher level works as an elevated dining area. The multiple levels make it possible to cook a meal while entertaining guests at the same time. The key to the island’s popularity is versatility. With so many shapes and sizes to choose from, you can find a kitchen island that is specifically designed for the activities you do most.

Kitchen islands can also become the focal point of the room from a design standpoint. A stylish island design can really beautify your kitchen space.

You can make your island stand out by painting

it a bright or bold color. It’s a great way to make the island pop and to use fun colors that might be too intense to paint on the walls or cabinets.

The countertop surface you choose for the island can also make a big design splash. I’ve seen islands with stone, wood and even stainless steel countertops. The countertop used on your island doesn’t necessarily have to match the surfaces found in the rest of your kitchen. In fact, the contrast will make your island stand out from the other kitchen countertops.

Whether you’d like to make your island the center of your kitchen for functional or design reasons (or maybe a combination of the two), these ideas will help you make the most of your kitchen island space. Enjoy these last few weeks before the start of the holiday season because things are probably going to start to get very busy in your kitchen.
