Campaign begins with $12k donation

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The same day the Hamilton County fire departments gathered to kick off a campaign to raise money to build the Hamilton County memorial Fallen Firefighters Memorial, the Schwartz family contributed to the cause. On Oct. 13. Glen Schwartz and his family donated $12,000 toward the $275,000 goal to build the memorial. The memorial will be located behind the Hamilton County Judicial Center, overlooking the White River in historic downtown Noblesville.

Hamilton County Councilor Steve Schwartz, Glen’s son, has been with the Riverwalk Committee for the entire journey and is excited to see the project reach this phase.

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

Schwartz said the construction of the memorial will be done in conjunction with phase III of the Riverwalk.

“It will be in there in a temporary basis until Riverwalk is completed,” Schwartz said.

Local 4416 President Tony Murray said the parklike setting of the memorial is designed by Hittle Landscaping and includes two key items: a piece of metal beam from the World Trade Center in New York City and a sculpture of a grieving firefighter by Arizona sculptor Nicholas Wilson.

“We want to create and include a memorial for 9/11. It’s such a profound event in our country’s history. We pause each year to remember,” Murray said.

“We would like to hold a ceremony on Sept. 11, 2014.

It’s somewhat unique to Indiana. There are a few 9/11 memorials around and state memorials.”

Murray said the statue will include three bronze helmets to represent the three Hamilton County firefighters who have died in the line of duty. In the event that another emergency worker dies tragically,

another helmet will be placed. Those firefighters who have died in the line of duty include: Noblesville Firefighter Byron J. Galbreath was electrocuted and died from his injuries while working at a fire in a junk yard at Sixth and Preston streets in Noblesville on Aug. 15, 1951.

Carmel Assistant Fire Chief Cyrus Clark died from injuries suffered while responding with another firefighter aboard an apparatus. A civilian driver pulled his vehicle into the path of the vehicle, and when Clark swerved to avoid contact with the vehicle, he struck a tree. Both men were ejected, and the apparatus landed on top of them on Dec. 3, 1960.

Fishers Assistant Fire Chief Raymond E. Moulder died from injuries he suffered from a building collapse. Moulder was working at the scene of a multialarm fire that consumed several buildings in the downtown business district of Noblesville, Sixth and Conner streets. The building, Goeke automobile dealership, suddenly collapsed trapping Moulder on Oct. 13, 1967.

County receives 3 homeland grants – The Indiana Homeland Security Foundation has approved $373,804.72 in grant funding to local fire departments, law enforcement agencies and emergency medical services. The focus of the foundation is to support the future of public safety and to provide grant funding to local agencies (up to $4,000) for critical public safety needs across Indiana. Hamilton County received three grants: The City of Noblesville Police Dept. received $2,990 to purchase two automated external defibrillators (AEDs). These will be used by the officers during sudden cardiac arrest situations to increase the opportunities to save lives. The City of Westfield Fire Dept. received $4,000 to purchase turnout gear. The personal protection equipment will better aid the department during emergency responses in the community. The Hamilton County EMA received $1,930.24 to purchase 27 road signs to aid in public outreach. The road signs will be used to warn motorists in high risk areas.

DVD review It’s been a down year for animation but a hot time for horror, with “The Conjuring” one of the latest movies to scare up a lot of cash at the box office. Strangely, the film received an “R” rating from the MPAA, despite having no cursing and little gore. Read more at currentnightandday.com.

DISPATCHES Quilt show – The Quilter’s Guild of Indianapolis will have a biennial Quilt Show “All Around Town” from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 25 and 26 at Westfield Middle School, 345 W. Hoover St. More than 350 quilts from traditional to contemporary will be on display along with quilt appraisals, vendors, lectures, small quilt auction and demonstrations at one of the largest quilt shows in Indiana. The theme, “All Around Town,” celebrates the many connections between quilting and the beautiful city. Admission is $8. For more information, visit www. quiltguildindy.net.

Buyer beware – The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office believes there may be multiple crews of driveway paving scammers working in the central Indiana and Hamilton County area. These individuals seem to target the elderly and people who live in the rural areas of the county.

Investigators say a person representing the paving company will contact the homeowner and tell them they are working on a job nearby and have leftover materials. After the job is half done the paving crew will increase the price of the job or say they need more money to finish. In the days after the crew has done their work the homeowner will discover the poor quality of workmanship and shoddy materials the paving company used. In Hamilton County, the recent suspects were not using hot asphalt but cold asphalt grindings, called millings, from the top surface of a roadway.

Octoboo – Join the scary staff of the Hamilton East Public Library for the annual “Octoboo” celebration. The popular program will be held at the Fishers and Noblesville libraries at 7 p.m.

Getting the points across

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

At his speech to the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce on Oct. 16, Gov. Mike Pence stressed four main points of his adminischamber tration and how Indiana has to use fiscal stability to keep the economy moving forward.

“It’s a difficult time in the life of our national economy,” Pence said. “I believe our state is strong and growing stronger. Indiana is the fiscal leader in the country.”

As of August, Indiana has an 8.1 percent unemployment rate according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“Indiana led the nation in manufacturing jobs three months running,” Pence said. “We were named the best in the Midwest and second best state in America to relocate a business.”

While Indiana is moving forward – especially when compared to neighboring states – Pence said he sees great potential.

“There’s a sense of optimism in Indiana. We’ve got an opportunity in the State of Indiana to keep going, to break through,” Pence said. “I get excited about advancing Indiana during these slow economic times.”

In addition to the recent passing of the largest state tax cut in the history of Indiana, Pence is focused on tax relief and regulatory refund.

“Soon we will be the lowest tax state in the Midwest,” he said. “Eleven thousand pages of

regulation pages are too much. We need to roll back the red tape. I want Indiana to have the most friendly regulatory business environment in the country.”

Pence said Indiana will put $800 million in roads and bridges with $200 million for local governments – the first new money for local roads in more than a decade.

“If you are going to be the crossroads of Indiana, you better have the roads to back it up,” he said.

Education innovation was Pence’s final point.

The state has provided nearly $200 million in new funding for schools and $30 million in teacher performance funding.

“If we can’t succeed in the classroom, we won’t in the work place,” he said.

The crusade of building Noblesville’s first library in 1913

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The fate of Noblesville’s Library system changed in 1909, when Lulu Miesse took over as city librarian. At that time, cover story the library was housed at Noblesville High School and books were found scattered across the city.

“A woman was appointed who had not only been trained as a librarian, but who also had a strong personality and a determination to make the library fulfill its role as a community institution,” Hamilton County Historian David Heighway said.

Miesse was born in 1877 into a family of doctors and lived at 1104 Conner St. her entire life.

When she began work, one of her first actions was to properly catalog the books that had been accumulating through the previous 53 years – approximately 4,000 books. After finishing that project, she recognized that her most serious need was space.

“With the growth of the population of Noblesville, school attendance had grown with it. At times, the library was so overcrowded as to be unusable,” Heighway said.

Industrialist Andrew Carnegie had begun his program of endowing libraries in small communities. In return, the communities had to provide the building site along with funding for staff and upkeep. Heighway said since the Ladies Aid Society provided the funding for support, Noblesville had only to donate a plot, which it took under consideration July 25, 1910.

“They swept it under the rug, and you don’t ignore Lulu,” Heighway said, adding six months had passed without a city council response. “A Council of War was formed in 1911, and this was when women didn’t have rights and couldn’t vote.”

Miesse conducted a mass meeting of all women’s service clubs in Noblesville and more than 300 women attended. After seeing his wife in the group, circuit court judge Meade Vestal offered the use of the large main courtroom instead of a smaller meeting room.

“Miesse said, ‘We want a library and we want it now. All of us and our husbands will attend the city council meeting,’” Heighway said, adding the women had planned to march to the council meeting as a Heighway single group, but in the end they only sent a delegation after word spread of their meeting.

“Within a week the council met and said yes.”

A plot at 10th and Conner streets was purchased on June 3, 1911, for $3,900. The library board, which still governs the library today, was organized on June 19. The Carnegie organization gave $12,500 for the library, and construction began in May 1912. The building formally was

dedicated and opened on May 7, 1913. Heighway said Carnegie Library, which is now part of Noblesville’s City Hall, was expanded and doubled in size in 1971. The current library opened in 1986 and had its expansion in 2006.

Heighway said throughout its history the library has been free of controversy. He believes there have been no banned books, adding that Meisse likely kept those titles out of the library.

“I imagine she stayed away from that,” Heighway said. “To check that out you’d have to show Miss Meisse, and she was a bit intimidating.”

Heighway said the library has always been “pretty open minded.” A 1885 catalog sheet shows the African American Dempsey family checking out books. Heighway said the library never was segregated.

“The library has always had that attitude. It’s always been an open-door policy,” he said.

The only true controversy around the library comes from taxes.

In 1922, White River Township residents learned about a potential property tax from using the library. Heighway said a group of men went door to door and rounded up all of Meisse’s books and dumped them at the library.

“They didn’t want to have a part with the library, they just didn’t want to pay that kind of money,”

he said, adding that to this day White River Township does not have affiliation with the library. “They are adamantly opposed to ever being a part of the library process. They’ve fought it tooth and nail.”

With the rise of technology, Heighway said the library’s focus hasn’t changed.

“The library has always been on the cutting edge,” he said, adding that in 1918 it purchased a huge selection of stereopticon slides.

“We still have the collection of 3,000 slides.

Of course nobody ever uses them anymore. As technology has changed the library has always stepped as hard as we could to catch it – even in the very, very early days.”

From 16mm films and vinyl records to VHS and cassette tapes, the library has transitioned with the times. While it still offers DVDs and CDs, digital items are taking over the library’s catalog.

“We’ve expanded the conceptual idea into virtual space,” Library Director Edra Waterman said.

“Available 24/7, technology reaches even more people and now they can access the same materials they could walking through the door.”

Waterman said “great communities deserve great libraries” and is not worried about the library’s next 100 years.

“The brick-and-mortar component is important to be an integral part of the community. Libraries are a collaborative community space,” she said.

“I don’t see physical libraries going away. We’re changing how we are used as the needs of our community shift.”

Interesting facts • Marian Lindsay was the first librarian. She was paid $1.25 a week and subscriptions to the library were $1 a year for a family.

• In 2012, the library had 2,019,986 materials checked out by its 98,178 cardholders; 995,273 website page views; and 61,014 ebooks, audiobooks and songs downloaded.

• The impetus for the founding of the library came about because of a man who had probably never actually seen the town of Noblesville. William Maclure was a philanthropist and one of the founders of the utopian community of New Harmony, Ind. When he died in 1840 he left money in his will for self-improvement societies to start Maclure libraries. Noblesville was one of two library companies started in Hamilton County in 1856. According to its constitution, membership was limited to those people who “earned their living by the sweat of their brow.” However, most members were actually small storekeepers.

• When Haymond William Clark, M.D., died in September 1880, he left an estimated 400 books to be added to the collection and to be called the Clark Library. Five of them are still in the regular collection of the Hamilton East Public Library. The oldest book Clark is a three-volume set called “Observations on the Popular Antiquities of Great Britain” by John Brand, published in 1853. “Haymond W. Clarks was our own Thomas Jefferson you might say,” Heighway said. “He was the best doctor in the county because he read so much.”

• Lulu Miesse purchased the first bookmobile in July 1920 from W. Hare & Sons for $1,260. It was then sent to a local lumber company for $223.85 worth of bodywork, bookcase construction, and lettering. It began making trips in the fall and by spring she had 16 Miesse routes set up.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Mayor gets behind violence awareness

Just say no It is our position that substance abuse and addiction cause a major burden to society. Red Ribbon Week is traditionally observed the last week in October as an opportunity to talk to our children and the children in our lives about the dangers of drug abuse.

Most elementary-aged children will wear their red ribbon with pride as they tote their backpacks home for the evening. Unfortunately, the schools can’t control what happens after the child leaves school property. Far too many children are exposed to drug and substance abuse at home. What happens along the way that changes the wide-eyed innocent child who knows drugs are bad into an abuser? Boredom, heredity and environment likely play a role. We’ve turned into a society that breathalyses students before events and urine tests them when they get home, all in the name of safety because the technology is available.

Can law enforcement keep up with regulating the list of household ingredients used to manufacture new drugs? Should non-users have to suffer the consequences? Legalizing the “not so bad” drugs hardly seems like the correct answer. While it may seem trite and simplistic, in the words of former first lady Nancy Reagan, “Just say, NO.”

It’s time to celebrate Commentary by Terry Anker Each year the community foundation of Hamilton County, The Legacy Fund, brings together a room full of the most generous philanthropists, volunteers and just plain good folks with the leadership of 50 or so area nonprofits. The stated objective for the Celebration of Philanthropy is to award the Living Legacy Award, which acknowledges an individual or family who, through their lifetime, has made a particularly important contribution to our community as a philanthropist. The foundation has done a nice job in both recognizing the best among us and inspiring others to consider their own giving. This year’s recipients (look for an announcement of the family in the coming weeks) are no exception to those who have come before.

Perhaps even more importantly, the event (Nov. 14 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel) encourages nonprofit organizations to interact directly with the scores of donors active in our county. Equally compelling is the opportunity for existing and potential

board members to meet and exchange ideas with the assembled power-house of community service talent. Over the years, board directors and funders have been introduced to scores of innovative and thoughtful public-serving organizations and their leaders. In bringing these ingredients together, countless new ideas and enhancements to existing work have benefitted (and continues to bring extensive value to) our community.

If you care about giving, plan to attend. If you care about those who work to support the arts, the needy and those most at risk, plan to attend. If you are looking to have a fun evening, plan to attend.

Check out Legacy Fund at www.legacyfund.org or on Facebook for more information or to watch the great videos on previous winners – they are inspiring. Or, call Kerry Byrne at Legacy Fund 843-2479.

As you might know, Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear proclaimed October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It’s a noteworthy proclamation, and Hamilton County’s own Prevail, Inc., which advocates for victims of crime and abuse, has been putting on something of a full-court press to make sure everyone is cognizant of what moves in our community, possibly even in the house next door. The numbers are at once frightening and staggering, which, we presume, led Ditslear to issue the proclamation. In 2012, alone, Prevail served 2,981 unduplicated clients, a 9 percent increase over 2011. Females represented 78 percent of the clients, and, respectively, 35 percent and 63 percent reported incomes of less than $5,000 and $35,000. Shockingly, 24 percent were 18 years old or younger. The statistic that blew us away the most was this: Most victims knew their offender. According to Prevail, 42 percent experienced it at the hands of a spouse or immediate partner, 26 percent identified a family member, 19 percent an acquaintance, 11 percent someone considered a date and in only 2 percent of the cases was the perpetrator considered a stranger. It really makes you think. Congrats to Ditslear and, clearly, to Prevail – for keeping the topic in front of our citizens. For more information, please visit www.prevailofhamiltoncounty.org.

Some of the e-mails I get in response to my column are hilarious. Apparently, a good portion of the northern Indianapolis humor suburbs are full of perfect wives and mothers who feel it is their right, nay their Jesus-driven duty, to point out my flaws and offer me advice on how to have the perfect family. Here are some of their suggestions: 1. Never ever lose your temper. Good mothers don’t freak out when their daughters spill nail polish remover on antique maple tables. Shame on you for throwing a casserole dish.

2. Never try and spice up your marriage by watching an R-rated movie with Scarlett Johansson or Brad Pitt. Violence and sex should be banned from theaters. Clearly you’re headed for divorce if you can’t find inspiration at church. Sinner!

3. Never become frustrated with your spouse! The perfect wife will have her hair coiffed and make-up on, ready to serve a home-cooked gourmet meal to her husband when he returns from his hard day at work. He does not want to hear about your hectic afternoon nor does he have the time to clean up after himself. Stop pestering and start doting.

4. Never say anything bad about your chil-

dren! Babies are a gift from God and those belonging to a good mom would never lie, cheat, or choose X-box over homework.

Heaven-bound kids are always bathed, behaved and beautiful.

5. Never consider plastic surgery. Stretch marks and saggy boobs are Jesus’ gift to you for bearing precious little angels. Stop being so selfish and join the PTO. Oh, you work full-time? The horror! Your kids are going to all end up in prison.

I think what these women really want me to do is stop being honest, because the truth is, life is not always awesome. Kids sometimes stink, and so do husbands, and, occasionally, I would like to sport a C-cup bra. Why can’t we embrace the difficulties of parenthood and marriage, find some humor in them, and congratulate each other on trying our best? Why must it always be about who’s the better mom/wife and who’s got the most perfect life? Gag. I’m just trying to make sure my kids wear deodorant and have lunch money on most days.

If being the perfect mom and wife means never expressing how I truly feel, then I’ll take being mediocre any day. Peace out.

Masquerade on Main raising spirits and funds

By Dawn Pearson • editorial@yoaurecurrent.com

What better place to have a celebration of All Hallow’s Eve, (aka Halloween) through elaborate costumes, good food, enterDiversion tainment and great prizes, then at The Sanctuary, a Victorian church built in the 1800‘s located on Main Street in downtown Zionsville and home to Nancy Noel’s studio.

“As an artist and person I love the psyche of why people do what they do. I want The Sanctuary to be a place where good things happen and elevated thinking happens. I do have a lot of Noel skeletons in my paintings, but it’s the yin and the yang, not good and bad,” she described. “People have fears. The Sanctuary is all about positive thinking, fun and spiritual freedom.”

At the inaugural “Masquerade on Main” last year about 175 people attended and they are expecting more to dress up and attend this year according Kathy Pierle, spokesperson for The Sanctuary.

The United Methodist Children’s Home in Lebanon is this year’s recipient of 50% of proceeds.

The organization first served as a home for orphans and is currently operating as a treatment facility dedicated to helping emotionally troubled youth struggling with a variety of challenges and proceeds raised will assist with their needs in the upcoming holiday season.

“We really think that they make a significant impact to the community and we are thrilled to be connected with them,” Pierle said. Noel added “They’ve been in business 100 years and they are a wonderful family style refuge for kids that struggle.”

This year’s“Masquerade on Main” will be held Oct. 26 from 7 to 11 pm at The Sanctuary, 75 North Main Street, Zionsville.

A seasonal menu of appetizing items from Noel’s Colours Restaurant will be served and included in the price of admissions. Due to Noel’s love of costumes, there will be a “Best Costume” contest judged by local celebrity judges, on-air personalities and Noel herself. The selected winners will receive limited edition prints of Noel’s art ranging in values from $25-500. In addition to the costume contest there will be musical entertainment, tarot card and reiki readings, paranormal investigations, and angel readings.

There will also be a cash bar.

Ticket’s are $25 per person and $30 at the door. All are welcome to attend and costumes are strongly encouraged but not required. To buy tickets and for more information visit The

“Halloween for me is about getting dressed up in disguise, having fun, art and witnessing other peoples’ art,” Noel said. “Last year’s guests that came in costume were a variety of people and loved the idea about participating, dressing up and celebrating in costumes. I loved it!”

Show to benefit Africa University

By Katy Frantz • news@currentincarmel.com

The Indianapolis Brass Choir will be hosting a free concert at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Carmel at 4 p.m. Oct. 27. choir During the performance the ensemble will be playing a variety of music ranging from Renaissance to Broadway, from jazz to folk songs.

Since being founded in 1986, the choir’s musicians voluntarily perform concerts to benefit local churches and charities. Performers in the brass choir meet weekly for rehearsals and perform in 10 to 12 concerts annually without pay.

During the 30-member choir’s performance there will be a free-will offering to raise money for Africa University, a private higher education institution in Mutare, Zimbabwe.

Funds collected at the performance will sup-

port several endowed student scholarships as well as establish an endowed faculty position in agriculture and natural resources.

“Our congregation has a connection with Africa University,” said Nancy Canning, marketing communications coordinator at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church.

Earlier this year the Africa University student choir attended and performed at the church in Carmel.

The university, founded by the African bishops of the United Methodist Church, has a mission to provide education to not only Zimbabwe, but also the African continent as a whole. Education at the university focuses to develop general and professional skills, as well as build spiritual, moral and ethical character in the students.

For more information on the concert, contact St. Mark’s United Methodist Church at 846-4912.

Guests of Haunted Prairie: A Hidden History of Conner Prairie will hear local ghost stories involving a grave robber and tales of hearing unexplained scary noises at night. (Submitted photos)

Local ghosts visit Haunted Prairie

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com

Ghost stories are as common during Halloween as trick-or-treating and bobbing for apples.

Local residents may be surhalloween prised to learn that Fishers has haunted roots too.

Haunted Prairie: A Hidden History of Conner Prairie, explains the history of local legends. Visitors will hear supernatural stories and personal accounts of unexplained phenomenon on the property of Conner Prairie Interactive History Park through a nighttime guided tour including 1836 Prairietown, 1963 Civil War Journey, Conner Homestead and the Chinese House. Guests will hear the story behind Heady Hollow, an area on Allisonville Road near 126th Street. The region has a cemetery and is named after early 19th century settlers, James and Dorothy Heady, according to Rosie Arnold, education programs manager for Conner Prairie. Arnold has heard several myths, including stories of a grave robber named Ebenezer Heady and a fire that burned down a schoolhouse, killing several children.

“What seems to be the most common, though, is people reporting hearing strange noises, including hoof beats as though they are being chased by someone on horseback, and seeing apparitions,” she said.

A famous tale includes that of a Noblesville at-

torney who drove his Model T through the Heady Hollow and stopped in the road because he said he saw a ghost standing there.

“Legends say that the ghosts may be the spirits of highwaymen who would rob travelers on the road and hide out in the woods around the hollow or of the highwaymen’s victims themselves,” Arnold said.

A confirmed story involves Hamp West, a grave robber who lived in the area that is now the Sunblest subdivision at 116th Street near Lantern Road. When West dug up graves, he took the cadavers and sold them to the medical school in Indianapolis.

“If the bodies had reached a state of decay so that they were no longer usable, he is said to have boiled the bodies to remove the flesh so that he could then sell the skeleton,” Arnold said.

In 1903, West was sentenced to prison and died one year later from stomach cancer.

Nothing scarier than the woods

By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Running frantically through the dark woods trying to escape a masked park ranger with a chain saw doesn’t normally halloween conjure up a sense of fun unless it’s during the Haunted Trails of Cool Creek Park annual Halloween event.

This year’s Haunted Trails will feature guided group tours through several different ghoul- and ghost-themed fright stations along the park’s trails and paths for thrill seekers older than 12.

Over the years, Haunted Trails has evolved into a community fundraiser, and the fright stations are staffed by civic organizations and school groups who actually write their own scripts and choreograph each fright station in accordance with guidelines set by event organizers.

This year’s Haunted Trails event also will include pyro-entertainment on a stage at the Cool Creek Music Pavilion, along with musical and video entertainment, hay rides, a camp fire and storytelling.

Food and refreshments will be available for purchase at the Friends of Hamilton County Parks booth with proceeds benefiting the foundation and its efforts to maintain and support the parks.

A non-scary area, the Trick-or-Treat trail features activities, nature programming and smaller, less-scary and non-spooky trails for those

Trick or Treat Times

younger than 12 years old. Treats also will be available for the little ones in the Trick-or-Treat Trail area.

“If we do our job, we’ll get some screams and fun shouts,” said Don Nicholls, Resource Development Specialist with Hamilton County Parks & Recreation. “We’re not really trying to compete with scare factories – Haunted Trails is more of a scaled down community event.”

The Haunted Trails • 7 to 10 p.m. Oct. 22 through 24 • Cool Creek Park, 2000 E. 151st St., Westfield • For more information visit www. myhamiltoncountyparks.com.

• Carmel: 5 to 8 p.m.

• Fishers: 6 to 8 p.m.

• Noblesville: 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

• Westfield: 5 to 8 p.m.

• Zionsville: 5:30 to 8 p.m.

All times are for Oct. 31. Police departments from all areas will have extra patrols out during trick-or-treat hours to provide additional security. Motorists are also asked to use extra care while driving those nights.

Halloween Bloody Baked Rats

2 pounds ground beef 1/2 onion, chopped 1 egg, beaten 1 cup dry bread crumbs 1 1.25-ounce packet meatloaf seasoning mix 1 cup cubed Cheddar cheese 3 10-ounce cans tomato sauce 1 cup white sugar 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 ounce uncooked spaghetti, broken into fourths • 1/2 carrot, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices • 1 Tablespoon frozen green peas Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, egg, bread crumbs and meatloaf seasoning. Use your hands to mix until well blended. Measure out 1/3 cupfuls of meat mixture and mold around a cube of cheese like a meatball. Shape into a point at one end and lengthen the body a bit by rolling between your hands.

Place your “rat”’ in a shallow baking dish and continue with the remaining meat. Insert pieces of uncooked spaghetti into the rounded end of the rats to make tails. In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, sugar and Worcestershire sauce.

Pour over rats in the dish and cover with a lid or

aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover the dish and continue to bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce to glaze the rats. While the rats finish baking, heat peas and carrots in a small bowl in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Carefully transfer the rats to a serving platter so that their delicate tails don’t fall off. Press peas into the pointy end to make eyes, and insert carrot slices to make ears. Spoon some of the tomato sauce around them and serve.

Brain Hemorrhage

• 1 fluid ounce chilled peach Schnapps • 1 teaspoon chilled Irish cream liqueur • 1 splash chilled grenadine syrup Pour Schnapps into a shot glass. Very gently pour Irish cream liqueur over Schnapps. Wait until the Irish cream liqueur begins to clump and “curdle” to look like a brain - just a few moments. Gently pour a tiny amount of grenadine “blood” over the brain. Watch your guests gag over the look of one of the nastiest-looking (but yummy) Halloween drinks around.

Dr. Todd Walters invites you to an open house to introduce his newly opened dental office, “Smile Generators” to Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers and the Indianapolis area. “Smile Generators” is in a newly constructed building and features state of the art building materials and dental equipment designed to accommodate all patients. It has a pleasing décor, a friendly staff, and a children’s play area, specially designed to occupy their minds while waiting.

To make this open house a unique and memorable occasion for the entire family, Dr. Walters is pleased to have present two well-known personalities.

One of these is former Harlem Globetrotter, Hallie Bryant, an internationally known edutainer and public speaker as well as the author of “Breaking the Code” The other is Dr. Greg Bell, the 1956 Olympic champion in the long jump and a dentist who is still practicing after 52 years. In addition to his gold medal, he is a member of the United States Track and Field Hall of Fame.

He has also authored a book of poetry and his autobiography, “The Longest Leap”.

They will be present from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm Both of these gentlemen are graduates of Indiana University and are members of the I.U. Athletic Hall of Fame.

As a special treat, these gentlemen will have with them their “tools of their trade”: an Olympic Gold Medal and a red, white and blue basketball, emblematic of the world-famous “Harlem Globetrotters”.

Attendees will be given opportunities to interact with, obtain autographs, and have photos taken with each individual or both and their “tools of their trade”.

If desired, rub the cut portions of the apple quarters with lemon juice to prevent browning. Poke 5 or 6 slivered almonds into the top and bottom of the cut-out area to make snaggly teeth.

• 2 Tablespoons butterscotch topping • 1 cup soda water • 1 cup cream soda • 2 Tablespoons whipped cream • 2 Tablespoons caramel sauce • 1 pinch salt Chill a glass mug in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. Combine the butterscotch topping and soda water in the chilled mug; stir until thoroughly mixed. Pour the cream soda into the mug.

Don’t let teen drivers scare you Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Brittany F. from Fishers: Our daughter turned 16 over the summer, and the day she gets her license Insurance is approaching. How do I add her to my policy and what can I do to make sure we don’t have to cancel our cable to afford it?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Adding a teen to your insurance policy is not the thing to do if you’re hoping to keep your insurance costs down. You can do a couple of things to make sure you get the best price.

First, make sure your teen keeps her grades up. A good majority of carriers offer discounts for teens that maintain a “B” average or higher.

Next, make sure your teen completes a driver education class.

Lastly, make sure you pay attention to our claim prevention ideas and follow all of the current laws and regulations.

Adding a new driver to your policy is as easy as giving your independent agent a phone call or an email. We will need the new driver’s license number, name and the vehicle that they will be driving.

If you’re adding a new vehicle, we will also need the VIN (vehicle identification number) for the new auto.

The type of vehicle your teen drives is a major factor in the cost of coverage. It’s a pretty simple concept. The car you want them to drive (a fourdoor sedan) is going to cost a lot less to insure

when compared to the car they want to drive (a coupe, convertible or sports car).

Modifying your coverage limits is a subject you should run by your independent agent. What I would recommend depends greatly on your own circumstances and risk tolerance. I will say that the state minimum limits are inadequate and should only be used if financially necessary. The leading cause of death for U.S. teens is motor vehicle crashes. Teens are at risk because they are more likely to drive aggressively, to not wear seatbelts and to underestimate the dangers associated with hazardous driving situations. When we talk about claim prevention, we’re talking about minimizing the risk of those three things.

The most straight forward approach to prevention is to just put it all down on paper and create a Teen-Parent Driving Contract. We recommend addressing some or all of these issues in your Teen-Parent Driving Contract: • Make sure every person in the vehicle is wearing a seatbelt.

• Never use a cell phone while driving.

• Limit the number of passengers in the vehicle.

• Make sure you are familiar with our current Graduated Drivers License laws Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

Fun with contronyms

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I had the distinct honor and privilege of taking part in the wedding ceremony of a dear friend (and former Current grammar guy editor) last weekend. An opportunity for a column sprang forth from the event.

As part of his reading, the officiant examined the word “cleave,” which can mean both “to separate from” and “to adhere firmly to.” “Cleave” is a contronym: a word with multiple meanings, at least one of which is the reverse of its other meanings.

Contronyms are also called auto-antonyms or, my personal favorite, antagonyms. They occur when distinct words morph through time to have the same form, or when words evolve to have multiple, contradictory meanings.

You can get a lot of fun wordplay out of contronyms, especially in poetry – or, as much fun as people who aren’t weird poetry nerds like me can have. They’re a good talking piece too, though. In the interest of augmenting your linguistic party banter repertoire, here are some other contronyms to keep in the quiver: “Fast” can mean both “moving quickly” and “not moving,” i.e. “The truck is stuck fast in the mud.”

“Off” can mean both “deactivated” and “activated:” “I turned off the alarm after it went off.”

“Oversight” can mean both “supervision” and “something overlooked:” “We need more oversight of employees to prevent further costly oversights.”

“Splice,” much like “cleave,” can mean both “to join” and “to separate.”

“Consult” can mean both asking for advice and giving advice.

“Garnish” can mean both “to add to” or “embellish” and “to take away,” i.e. “My wages were garnished after I failed to pay court fees.”

Many of these words became contronyms through natural processes as our language formed, and so their contradictory meanings do not seem strange to us. Consider a more contemporary example: the word “literally.”

“Literally” means “in actuality.” However, through its constant misuse, Merriam-Webster now says the word can be defined as “figuratively,” an antonym. Though I find this situation particularly groan-inducing, there you have it: the evolution of language in action. It’s both beautiful and terrible – like a lion hunting a gazelle. Or, you know, something less dramatic.

A guide to choosing hardwood floors

Commentary by David Decker

Because of its versatile style, natural feeling and durable structure, hardwood has remained one of the most enduringly indoors trendy flooring options for generations. Unlike other flooring trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained popular for more than 200 years.

Choosing hardwood flooring is clearly a safe investment for homeowners. However, hardwood flooring isn’t the perfect solution for every space.

There are a number of facts and considerations that you should know before installing hardwood flooring.

Before installing hardwood, you’ll want to survey and inspect the room. Certain types of hardwood are susceptible to moisture, which can cause the wood to splinter or bend. Hardwood flooring also tends to be a bit noisy. If you choose to install hardwood in a central room, you may want to invest in rugs or pieces of furniture that absorb sound to keep movement muffled.

Additionally, excessive amounts of foot traffic can cause wear and tear to the planks. Scuffed and scratched floors can be refinished, but this process can get costly, especially if you choose a softer wood that needs frequent repair.

After you’ve decided whether the room is a good fit for hardwood flooring, you’ll have to decide the type and style of plank you’d like to install. Hardwood can be divided into two main

categories: solid and engineered. Solid hardwood is made from pure, solid wood planks. Engineered hardwood is made from pressed plywood that uses a thin wood veneer as the top layer.

Because it is made from bonded layers of wood, it is more durable than solid hardwood, and less likely to be affected by temperature or humidity.

Engineered planks can be created in a greater array of sizes and widths (and wider planks have the added benefit of being able to trick the eye into making a room look larger).

To keep your hardwood protected and shiny,

clean regularly with water-based solutions.

You’ll also want to sweep and vacuum your floor weekly to eliminate dust and particles. Remember that hardwood is susceptible to water damage, so never use a wet wop or let spills soak into the boards. Consult the manufacturer’s guide for specific cleaning techniques if you are unsure of how to care for your specific flooring; otherwise, you may cause unintentional damage to the floorboards.

The popularity of hardwood flooring means that there are a countless number of styles and designs on the market today. Investigate the wide variety of lumber types, colors, finishes and plank sizes before making a selection. If you are planning on going green, there are even environmentally friendly options available that are made from sustainable wood sources. The possibilities are endless.

Choosing the right hardwood for your home is a big decision. With careful consideration and proper maintenance, the flooring you select can last for years to come. Weigh your options carefully until you find the perfect flooring to fit your home.
