OUR VIEWS

It is our position that, while limited government is attractive in many ways, it remains in our best interest for certain services to remain centralized. Fire protection may be such a service. In Obion County, Tennessee, Gene Cranick’s home burned while local volunteer firefighters stood by. Even with equipment on the scene, the decision was made because the group is funded privately, and Cranick had failed (he claims inadvertently) to pay a $75 premium owed for fire protection services. Ultimately, firefighters defended neighboring houses benefitting from having paid-up the for-fee service, but Cranick’s home was a complete loss.

A robust debate as to what role government should play and how much individuals must pay for it to fulfill such a part is good. But allowing risk to the health and safety of citizens through unfettered fires seems extreme. Uninsured homes are routinely flooded, and, yet, resources are deployed to the benefit of those homeowners. We do not advocate for a free-ride and would argue that an appropriate charge for uninsured fire services might be instituted as a lien against the property. Ultimately where government does not provide fire protection, it should act as a financial backstop to encourage private services to act.

Light of day

It is our position that there are lessons to be learned from the mining disaster in Chile. The rescued workers are fine examples of the human capacity for survival. These men have proven that despite overwhelming obstacles, humans have an amazing ability to adapt. In crisis, the Chilean President demonstrated true leadership. He pushed for action, refused to accept defeat and rallied his country and the world for assistance.

Utilizing government and private sector assets, 12 nations, including our own NASA scientists and drilling experts, combined the best and brightest minds to bring the miners back to daylight and back to their loved ones. While trapped, ordinary men overcame fear of mortality, realized the strengths and gifts of their peers, organized, and proceeded with bravery and pragmatism. As each miner emerged from deep beneath the earth, fellow citizens cheered for Chile – a unification of a nation.

How does the handling of this disaster stand in contrast to recent crises in the U.S.? Hurricane Katrina and the oil spill disasters seemed fraught with delay, bureaucracy, red tape and confusion over who was in charge.

The ensuing blame-game created division and a spirit of partisanship. We could learn by the Chilean example.

She saw where she was needed and stayed.

“As I talked to the moms who were the victims of domestic violence, they would say, ‘My 16-year-old son is doing the same thing his father was doing. He’s so angry. Is there anyone he can talk to?’ ” He can now.

“You learn how to treat others by what you see at home so this type of behavior gets passed to the next generation,” she said. “You have to break the cycle.”

Despite the fact that the job can be tough emotionally, Feiss says having children of her own gives her even more reason to make her daily commute from Brownsburg.

“The kids I work with at Prevail might be the very ones interacting with my own kids,” she said. “I don’t want my kids growing up with another generation of people who treat each other the way we do now.”

It’s an exciting time in the growth of our young company. The folks in Fishers will get the news and information for which they asked in our independent and comprehensive marketplace study, and our advertisers will have yet another market for which they asked.

Noblesville and Fishers officials have every reason to be giddy over the opening last week of a key connector point for the two cities.

An approximately $6.8 million bridge on Olio Road that spans I-69, makes possible a northsouth thoroughfare without impedance. That means commerce in the city and neighboring Fishers now has a chance at growth. Infrastructure such as this bridge often ends up being a driver in the recruitment for future business relocation and development. Our city forked over approximately $1.5 million for a roundabout on the north side of the project, a mere pittance considering what it means for the future. This effort took diligent planning and pinpoint execution, and the project wrapped up considerably under budget. We like that – all of it! The area could resemble the Ronald Reagan Parkway corridor over in Hendricks County, where development is “exploding.” The roadway (actually, the group of visionaries that hatched the idea) is owed a lot of credit for being the backbone of such progress. We hope that’s the case in the aftermath of the Olio project.

Commentary

By Zach Dunkin As Prevail executive director Loretta MooreSutherland read through the list of 54 Hoosiers who lost their lives last year as a result of domestic violence, Lisa Fiess Fiess couldn’t help but wonder how many of those victims could have been saved had someone been able to “break the cycle.”

A 40-year-old woman shot and killed in front of her 16-year-old daughter. A 7-month-old boy beaten to death by his mother’s boyfriend.

Siblings ages 8 and 5 killed in a house fire set by their mother’s fiancé. A 14-year-old girl strangled to death.

Last week’s respectful vigil in the Hamilton County Commissioner’s Courtroom served as a reminder to those families of abused victims that their loved ones were not forgotten and that Noblesville-based Prevail would continue advocating for all victims of crime and abuse.

As adolescent program coordinator for Prevail, Fiess developed and implemented a support, education and prevention program for teenagers to complement its adult and children’s

COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson

Oh, Halloween, how I love thee.

A night of enchantment and bountiful can-dy.

A time to prepare for that perfect costume, A pointy hat, black cape, and a witch’s broom?

Or maybe a ghost with a simple white sheet, Make sure to hem it or you’ll trip up your feet!

How ‘bout an angel, so lovely and pure?

Little devils would be more accurate for my kids, for sure.

No matter the act or role that they choose, Remember that parents too need treats and/or booze.

A spiced wine or cold beer, it’s really no matter, All Hallows Eve means a night to get fatter!

At Chez Wilson, you see, chili and cornbread do reign, As I sport a fall apron and a dazzling new mane.

‘Cause every Halloween I wear a cool wig, Usually a strawberry-blonde afro that goes over big.

Neighbors don’t know me, which I think is fun, And when the tots go away crying, well, Kids 0, Me 1.

We also decorate to the hilt, mainly just outside, With a graveyard and strobe lights, and goblins who’ve died.

My favorite is our scene with the rusty lawnmower, Underneath which lies a body who moved much slower Than the machine which fatally pinned him beneath And left him in pieces – his arms, legs, and teeth.

There’s spooky music too, and fog on the ground, And motion activated ghouls atop a cemetery mound.

We add a little more décor each October that comes,

Like a beady-eyed raven amongst some fake plastic mums.

Last year was the fog machine, though it actually kind of sucked.

It overheated and shut down; I think we got … screwed.

Fifty dollars for that plus another ten for the “juice”?

I’d been better off with dry ice and a spotlighted noose.

Anyhoo, we adore this most fantastic of eves.

Whether in the heat we sweat or cold temps we freeze.

As long as there’s no rain to ruin the night We’ll traipse through the hood with utter delight.

For on this night of all nights, with magic in the air, We celebrate family and tradition and my fake afro hair.

And recall fond memories of past get-togethers, Of haunted houses gone bad and “It’s the Great Pumpkin” sweaters.

Most importantly we relish our children’s wide eyes, Filled with wonder and excitement and hopes still alive of landing the mother lode of sugar and sweets And setting up shop later to trade jellied feet.

Chocolate trumps all in the Halloween “stores” Until I call them back out for fireside s’mores.

Then it’s off to bed where sleep comes late, As they replay the events of such a wonderful date.

Happy Halloween to you all, and let me leave no doubt, It’s my most favorite day of the year! Peace out.

Halloween is a treat Who are you? Take for all in our family the test and find out

Commentary

By Leslie Webber I ordered the kids’ Halloween costumes way too early this year. Rookie mistake.

Our son decided he was going as Harry Potter and talked his sister into going as some sort of sorceress. She was completely agreeable when we found a costume that included sparkly stars and a hoop skirt. The costumes arrived before I even thought about buying pumpkins. The begging to wear the costumes around the house started shortly thereafter.

A few days from now, I’ll be able to make my children’s day. When they ask for the 80th time if they can put on their Halloween costumes I’ll say; “YES! You can, it’s time to trick or treat!”

Truth be told, I’m just as excited about it as they are. (As a reminder, Noblesville trick or treat hours are 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 31.)

Trick or treating has really changed since I was a kid. I lived in a rural community that didn’t really have neighborhoods. That meant our parents drove us from one end of the county to the next, stopping at only the houses owned by relatives or friends.

6 | October 26, 2010

Halloween was quite an undertaking for my mother, who was a fan of creative costumes. I was a bunch of grapes one year. The “grapes” were balloons. Another year, she forced me to wear a scarecrow costume, complete with a dowel rod. As you can imagine, neither made for easy exits.

My family and I have it much easier. We live in a great neighborhood for trick or treating! I meet new neighbors and catch up with those I haven’t seen in a while all while wearing a giant witch hat. We traipse around our streets, stopping at houses with not only treats for the kids, but fire pits and the occasional adult beverage.

The hardest part is deciding who will stay home and hand out our treats and who will make the rounds. We pass out full-size candy bars, so you get to feel like a hero for the night.

There is no loser in this scenario.

Commentary

By Krista Bocko A couple of years ago I took a fascinating personality quiz. I was completely skeptical about it at first, but then blown away when I read my results which summed me up perfectly.

I’ve been writing a regular column here for almost a year, many of you have somewhat gotten to know me via this space, and I’ve been lucky enough to meet so many new and fascinating people because of this. I’ve really enjoyed hearing your comments; thank you for sharing with me, too.

My results from the quiz indicate that my personality type is INFP. To sum it up, I am deeply committed to work and a vision I believe in, am adaptable and patient, creative, diplomatic, sensitive to others feelings, am a good listener and sincere. I’m driven to help people and make the world a better place (which hopefully I have done a little bit of here).

The assessment also tells me that I’m a dreamer. I’m not detail-oriented unless it’s for

Current in Noblesville

a cause that I believe in. I don’t like to deal with the mundane details of life, and I don’t like to deal with hard facts and logic.

I’m nodding my head yes, yes and yes! It’s right on.

It also tells me that “INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkward and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they’re feeling on paper.”

Right again. It’s tough to accept the “talented” part (INFP’s also have trouble giving themselves credit), but this quiz was a cool eye-opener. Cogitating on the different types helps me to understand the other 95 percent of humanity and why they do what they do, too.

Check out www.mypersonality.info for the quiz. Is it accurate for you?

Historic homes of Noblesville Location: 1428 Monument Street Owner: Janet Robertson, since 2006 Style and history: This brick Victorian cottage was constructed circa 1894 by William M. and Nellie M. Caylor. The home features an irregular hipped roofline with north and south side dormers and 10-foot ceilings downstairs. The existing concrete block front porch is a modern alteration. The home’s original footprint included a small rear porch, which was later replaced by an addition.

What are your favorite features? “I love this house. I like the fact that most of the living can be done on one floor, but that I also have plenty of room upstairs for my kids. I love the character of the house, the hardwood floors, all of the closet space (rare for a home of this age) and, of course, we love the pool! The back feels so private.”

What work have you done on your house?

“Most of the work was already done when I purchased the home, but I did put in the heat177-3206 Neighbor Fall CIC10-14:Layout ing and air upstairs.

I also added a heater to the

pool to extend the life of the swim season.”

What do you like about this area/neighborhood? “The neighbors are friendly and wonderful. I love the fact that we can walk downtown and to school. I can even walk to Forest Park, and I love that I can sit on my front porch and see the high school parades.”

Board selects Performance Services for Phase 1 construction projects Current in Noblesville Noblesville Schools has selected Performance Services, Inc. as the Design Build Team for the first phase of construction projects.

Phase 1 includes additions and/or renovations at Hazel Dell, Hinkle Creek, North, Stony Creek, and White River elementary schools, Noblesville Intermediate School, Noblesville Middle School, and the main campus of Noblesville High School.

The Noblesville Board of School Trustees awarded the design build contract to Performance Services at its Oct. 19 meeting. The school district’s Technical Review Committee recommended the company to the school board after a process that determined that Performance Services offered the best value to the school district. In the Design Build process, the best value is determined by a formula that considers price and several other factors including the design submitted by a company and interviews with the Technical Review Committee.

The design-build process is a new concept for Noblesville Schools, but has been used elsewhere in Indiana. The state approved the process in 2005.

In the past, Noblesville Schools has used

the design-bid-build process as its preferred project delivery system for its construction projects. While the design-bid-build process divides the design and construction contracts into two, Design-Build allows the project owner to work under one contract for both the design and construction services. The advantages are in cost savings, reduced risks for the school district, and higher quality projects.

Work is expected to begin yet this fall at the elementary schools, in January at the high school and intermediate school, and in June at the middle school. Although work will take place during the day, nothing is to be scheduled in an area at a time that it would interfere with the students’ day. Background checks will be performed on all construction workers and workers will be issued Noblesville Schools identification badges.

Trick or treat? Biomedical mishap turns secret operation into a ‘Barn of Terror'

By Zach Dunkin Current in Noblesville Something has gone terribly wrong at the government’s top secret biomedical research facility, concealed in an old barn on Melissa Ahner’s 22-acre horse farm on the outskirts of Noblesville. A serum which can cure all known diseases has been developed, but somehow a vile of the miracle juice is overturned, infecting those near it.

A lockdown is ordered. No one is allowed to leave. With lights flashing and sirens blaring, a chaotic scramble to safety ensues.

Lab assistants turn into zombies. Some simply drop dead. The U.S. Army arrives to secure the situation.

Could it happen here?

It could, and it does at Ryan Demler’s fourth edition of the Barn of Terror, which opens Wednesday and continues through Halloween night. Demler and his volunteer crew have been laboring for weeks, converting Ahner’s horse barn on Hague Road into four chambers of chaos and fear.

This annual storyline, which builds on the year’s previous storyline, is what sets this haunted structure apart from the others, says Demler, a 28-year-old professional magician. This year’s cast of characters is 23 strong, nearly double that of the previous years.

“We don’t just stand around a corner and jump out; there’s a guide who takes you and your group through it, and the story unfolds live for the patrons,” said Demler, a graduate of Carmel High School who now lives in Noblesville with his wife, Amy, and sons Braden and Owen. “They take part in it, and as they leave here, they feel they were just in a scene of a movie.

“It’s kind of like a thrill ride,” he continued. “People want to get scared, but in a safe environment. They come out for the thrill of it, but they know they are going to be safe.”

Demler’s penchant for haunting began with a karaoke machine he got for his eighth birthday. He’d hide in a bush and howl into the machine as people walked by. Passersby figured it was a recording, but then Demler would come scrambling out on all fours. Each year he’d add another element to the presentation tombstones, strobe lights, fog machines.

Then, four years ago while performing his magic show at Michelangelo’s restaurant in Noblesville, he met Melissa Ahner’s son Drew. He told Drew the barn and the farm’s location would be a great spot for a haunted house. The two of them worked together on the first three haunted projects for the 40 x 60-foot barn, donated each year by Melissa.

“It’s a labor of love,” said Demler. “I put so much blood and sweat and energy into this because it’s something fun for the community. I’m an entertainer by nature, and when I come here I get to play a role.”

Demler, who plays Col. Demler, the leader of the Army’s special forces dispatched to the facility, says he uses the technique of “black arts magic” in his scare tactics. Visitors can’t see things because of the way the curtained walls inside the barn are set up.

When guests are looking at a distraction to the left, something scary comes at them from the right. It’s all about misdirection.

“When you think about being frightened, a lot of it’s anticipation,” said Demler. “We want people to scare themselves with

Halloween costumes have become frighteningly skimpier Commentary

By Jenna Larson I haven’t been trick-or-treating since middle school. Once I hit freshman year, my parents forbade it. Which was totally fine. I mean, I was a high schooler and such an activity was just so juvenile.

You know how freshman year goes.

Anyway, the past few years I’ve spent my Halloween nights at home watching live Ghost Hunters broadcasts.

That being said, I haven’t had to worry about finding a costume in quite some time.

This year, however, I actually have legitimate plans. A party. How this happened, I still don’t know. My issue? I have to have a costume for said party. Yeesh.

I paid a visit to a Halloween store last week in hopes of finding something decent. I was thinking racecar driver, flapper, something good.

What did I find? Well, to put it in the most honest phrasing possible, costumes fit for hookers.

It was a little disturbing.

Have costumes always been like this? The last time I went Halloween shopping, I remember a lot of witches with long black dresses and warlocks with thick flowing robes. What happened?

For the first time, I realized that the Hal-

10 | October 26, 2010

loween scene in Mean Girls isn’t so far fetched after all.

I walked through an aisle of embarrassingly skimpy costumes, low cut shirts and short flouncy skirts with fishnets, before I was about ready to throw in the towel.

Finally, I came across a few outfits from Grease. They certainly seemed more promising than the alternatives. I stood there for a while and tossed the idea around. I could pass as a Pink Lady, right?

But I was indecisive. I left empty-handed and a little disappointed, but I have intentions of revisiting the store before the party. I do, after all, still need an appropriate costume.

And given my options, I’m thinking I might show up as Sandy.

Either it’s time to restart the trend of handmaking costumes, or stores should get some more modest options. Take it from a potential buyer. Not all teenagers want to look so…short of morals.

Jenna Larson is a junior at Noblesville High School and is opinions editor for The Mill Stream.

High-flying gift to Legacy As part of spirit week at Legacy Christian School in Noblesville, U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Victor Verboncoeur (pictured here with his daughter, Claire) presented Legacy with an American flag that flew with him in a combat support mission for Operation Enduring Freedom, the war in Afghanistan. Verboncoeur, father of three Legacy students, is a pilot in the Air Force Reserve.

He flies a KC-135 Stratotanker and refuels aircraft in mid-air, while flying between 400 and 500 miles per hour. In presenting the flag, Verboncoeur told students, teachers and parents how important it is that they remember what our soldiers are doing to secure freedom for Americans. Verboncoeur detailed the work involved in 25 combat support refueling missions this summer. The flag, framed with a certificate of authenticity from the U.S. Air Force, will be displayed at Legacy.

Garlic: Who knew so one small item could do so much?

COOKING

By Jennifer Jacobi I love cooking with garlic. It can be used in a variety of ways, as a spice, an aroma, a health benefit, or to keep the Vampires at bay. It is a great addition while making salsa, spaghetti sauce, salads, to flavor a loaf of French bread and to enhance the taste your steak, chicken or pork dishes.

It can minced, chopped, diced, or sliced and served fresh, roasted, or sautéed. You can also drop a fresh clove into your kitchen spritzer to infuse your olive oil.

Garlic comes in the shape of a bulb, and each piece used is called a clove. You can pick up a bulb for around 50 cents, and it should last around three weeks when kept in a cool dry place.

Garlic has many heart-healthy benefits and is known to support the immune system.

The use of powdered or pre-minced garlic, although convenient, cannot even compare to the freshness and liveliness that comes from using fresh, natural, unpreserved garlic.

The only thing that I don’t like about garlic is touching it. It’s sticky and messy and leaves your hands with a terrible odor for the next day or two. This is why you need a garlic press When looking for a user-friendly garlic

12 | October 26, 2010

press, make sure that you don’t have to peel the garlic before placing it in your press and mincing. That’s way too much work. Plus, this keeps your hands from smelling like garlic for three days after you make your dinner.

A good garlic press will save you time while cooking and money in the long run by using a fresh ingredient, and be a helpful benefit in your daily diet. But most importantly your cooking at home will have so much more flavor and personality. Just make sure to keep a mint on hand for each of your table companions.

Try Estes Park for the Rocky Mountain high TRAVEL

By Tracy Line If sunshine, mountains, and good-old-fashioned family fun are your thing, consider a trip to Estes Park, Colorado next summer.

Just 65 miles northwest of Denver, Estes Park is a quaint town offering beautiful mountain views, abundant wildlife viewing and lots of sunshine without the humidity. Visitors enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of this mountain village as they shop, play and simply take in the sights.

Of course, the big draw for Estes Park is its proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park, just 10 minutes away. RMNP offers over 265,000 acres of breathtaking scenery. Here, you can view wildlife in the morning, picnic in a meadow at midday, and hike along a snowlined trail in the afternoon. A must-see is Trail Ridge Road, which takes visitors across the Continental Divide. Longs Peak and Bear Lake are also quite beautiful.

When you’re not at RMNP, Estes Park has much in the area of family fun. Take the Aerial Tramway up Prospect Mountain and tempt a

www.youarecurrent.com

squirrel with peanuts (some will eat from your hand). Race the kids in go-karts, fish for trout or scream with your kids as you slide down Fun City’s giant slides. Afterwards, give in to your sweet tooth at Hayley’s where you’ll find homemade ice cream and fudge. And no trip to Colorado would be complete without horseback riding, available in numerous places.

Just minutes from town, Glacier Lodge offers family cabins at an affordable price. The Ranglo family has run this lodge for over 35 years, and they do it well. While cabins are modern, the atmosphere is reminiscent of days gone by. Kids safely meander the property, stopping at the store for candy before heading to the pool, playground or horse barn.

Jennifer Lawrence as Ree Dolly in “Winter’s Bone,” directed by Debra Granik.

DVDs

By Chris Lloyd As we edge closer to year’s end, film critics have started work on The List.

The List, of course, is the best movies we’ve seen this year. With 2½ months left to go in 2010, I feel confident “Winter’s Bone” will have a place among my Top 10.

This sharp, authentic drama from director and writer (with Anne Rossellini) Debra Granik still grips me. From the spot-on, Oscar-caliber performances from Jennifer Lawrence and John Hawkes to the severe beauty of the Missouri terrain that frames the characters, “Winter’s Bone” bleeds its way into an audience’s soul.

Lawrence plays Ree Dolly, a smart, willful teenager who dropped out of school to look after her younger siblings and mentally impaired mother. They survive the cold in a ramshackle cabin, relying on squirrel meat and

Current in Noblesville

the charity of neighbors.

One day the sheriff shows up to inform Ree her drug addict father has jumped bail after putting the family plot up for collateral. If he doesn’t show, they’ll be put out.

Much of the plot is taken up with Ree’s journey, on foot, to visit her scattered kinfolks in search of her dad. Suspicious of outsiders – even those with whom they share blood – the mountain people are unwilling to help beyond the offer of a little cash and menacing warnings.

Expect “Winter’s Bone” to show up on a lot of critics’ lists.

Flower power: Using herbs as emotional remedies HEALTH

By Carol Rossetti, N.D. In modern society, we tend to separate mental, emotional and spiritual problems from physical health conditions. If ill, we see a doctor.

For mental illness, we consult a psychiatrist. We may go to a minister or spiritual leader.

This hasn’t always been the case. In traditional societies, the herbalist was usually the counselor, psychologist and spiritual leader all rolled into one. Physical ailments and mental, emotional and spiritual issues were seen to be part of the same overall pattern.

This is why all traditional systems of medicine associate specific emotional issues with specific organs and disease patterns. Traditional medicine is the medicine that brings with it the traditions of all of our past, thousands of years of tradition. Mainstream Western medicine has been around for a very short time.

Knowing that the body communicates both thoughts and emotions via chemical messengers helps us understand how herbs can directly influence emotional states. Many herbs contain substances that mimic, enhance or inhibit the

effects of these various chemical messengers.

One of my favorite flower remedies is Distress Remedy, which can be used with children, adults, animals, and yes, even plants. I use it often with my grandchildren. I’ve heard babies crying on a plane, and I so wanted to offer them some Distress Remedy. My dog gets very upset when he gets in a car, so I give it to him to calm him. It is helpful for any kind of emotional crisis or trauma to help promote calm.

Mood Elevator, Liver Balance, a traditional Chinese formula - KB-C, Blood Build, Artemisia Combination, Oregon Grape and Red Clover are all single or combination formulas that work directly on the liver, the holder of our emotions.

Next time you are feeling distressed, why not try a traditional formula, with no side effects except to help you and lift your spirits?

Dealing with life's backhoes, bulldozers DOUGH

By David Cain I followed a backhoe to work today. It was the longest five-mile stretch I can remember. The yellow flashing light on the top of the cab was a like a carrot, dragging a slow mule along its predictable path. The large tires of backhoe made it bounce wildly with a sense of recklessness that seemed out of place on Main Street. As I slowly trekked behind, following the smell of diesel and reacting only to the brake lights of the car in front of me, I was surprised to notice that I was actually going the speed limit.

Two things are surprising about that. First, I didn’t know a backhoe could go 35 miles an hour. I guess that explained the bouncing.

Second, I didn’t realize the speed limit was this slow. I felt like I was just puttering along. Surely I’ve gone this slowly before? It just seemed slower today because, well, there was a backhoe in front of me.

I hoped that the backhoe wasn’t a sign of the day. After all, sometimes at work and home I feel like I’m following a backhoe. I feel like my day is dictated by the brake lights in front of me. I feel like if I could just pass that backhoe, everything would somehow be better. It’s a bulldozer mentality. Forging ahead, clearing my own path, finding the fresh air that greets only those that dare to take it.

The backhoe phenomenon, as I’ve coined it, is not uncommon. A lot of folks can relate to the backhoe effect. It’s when you feel like you are going really slowly but you aren’t. It’s the anxiety that keeps you up at night, the feeling you get when you feel held back. Not reaching your potential, working all the time but never getting anything done, is all a part of the backhoe phenomenon.

Like a car wreck out of nowhere, it hit me. I can’t pass the backhoe, but perhaps I could just take another route. Perhaps there was a faster, or least a less anxious, path. Perhaps there was a route where I could drive my own race without the judgment of the backhoe. Perhaps. One thing is for sure; the backhoe wasn’t an ominous sign. It was simply a reminder that there are alternatives.

By Brenda Alexander Current in Noblesville The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) was created in 1969 as a response to voter outrage over 155 cases of the wealthiest Americans manipulating loopholes to zero out their tax liability. As a result, we have two parallel tax systems.

This year, AMT applies to families making more than $70,000 and individuals making more than $46,000. In 2011, these numbers will revert to 2001 ranges ($45,000 for families; $33,750 for individuals) unless addressed by Congress. Either way, the AMT is no longer limited to the wealthiest Americans.

This is because the AMT was never indexed to inflation. Also, the law was revised over the years to disallow many common deductions.

As a result, the AMT has insinuated itself into increasingly lower tax brackets. Having a large family, major medical expenses and owning rental property can make you vulnerable.

If there is any chance you might fall under the AMT, you need to figure out your taxes twice – first by completing Forms 1040 and 1040A, then by filling out Form 6251. You pay the higher of the two. The AMT levies a tax of

either 26 or 28 percent on individuals; 20 percent on businesses.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, if no major reforms are enacted, “nearly every married taxpayer with income between $100,000 and $500,000 will owe the alternative tax.” While in 1970 only 19,000 people owed AMT, in 2011, 20 million Americans are expected to pay it.

The following are mostly disallowed if paying the AMT: • Personal exemptions • Standard deduction if not itemizing • State and local property, sales, and income taxes • Mortgage interest and home-equity loan interest • Itemized deductions (medical expenses are greatly restricted) • Miscellaneous deductions exceeding percent of AGI • Tax credits for children, higher education and adoption expenses • Incentive stock options (100 shares purchased at $3/share when stock is trading at $10/share equals $700 in income).

Earlier this year, long-time Cicero resident Ellen Rosebrock had been lamenting with some friends that there was no place to eat Mexican food in Cicero. Following a lengthy career in telecommunications, she decided to open a Mexican restaurant in the vacated Jessie’s Grill and Bar at the only stoplight in town on Jackson Street. “I worked my way through college working at various restaurants, so that’s about as much experience I have with the restaurant business,” says Roesbrock. “My intentions now are to serve fresh, homemade food at a reasonable price in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. We’re non-smoking, and that’s an attraction to a lot of people. With its bright, colored décor, Toucan Annie’s Mexican Grill features a variety of unusual margaritas and a clever menu that includes the customary tacos, burritos, chimichangas, and combo platters, plus The Mighty Sonoran, a hot dog wrapped in bacon and grilled, topped with pinto beans, onion and diced tomato. There are daily drink specials on imported beer and tequila drinks. Rosebrock is also planning to book live entertainment, beginning Oct. 29 with The Nick and Rodney Show.

Beat those winter blahs with a bargain basement BASEMENTS

By Randy Sorrell While winter is a four letter word to me, I do especially love my basement during the winter months. The lack of sun, short days, cold nights and simple gloom is in direct competition with the grace of the season and the relaxed pace.

Fortunately, we still have another four weeks of happy sunshine before society retreats to our amped up lower levels.

Exercise Space Ours is a modest lower level by Hamilton County standards. Sure, we have a dedicated exercise area. In fact, it is the largest part of the lower level. The modern equipment coupled with edgy framed athletic prints screaming “go get ‘em” quotes are edgy elements designed to prompt a sophisticated look and feel. A few large mirrors and juiced sound system in any exercise room elevates the intensity. When the gloom of winter sets in, you can find me there.

Media Room We would all love to have a formal media room or home theater, but sometimes it’s just not in the budget. When that’s the case, there are affordable options. The cost of plasmas and flat screens has plummeted and pre-boxed surround systems can be just as nice as their pricier

26 | October 26, 2010

counterparts. Call a decorator friend for a few tips and suddenly your home theater is ready for the latest flick. What a great place for the repurposed sofa and slightly outdated recliners, especially with colorful throw pillows and accent rugs.

Basics Nevertheless, to get anywhere with a lower level, it simply has to be finished. What does that mean? It means a basic design, construction drawings and a building permit from the city and a little dust upstairs as various teams of skilled workers transform the once cold concrete stale space into something very livable.

As tempting as it may be, do not skip getting a building permit. It’s not a bid deal until the city officials discover and then be ready to answer a lot of uncomfortable, costly questions.

Looking for a new happy place this winter?

Update your lower level, transform the screen porch to a sunroom or modernize the kitchen and watch the smiles multiply.

Shower with style

INTERIOR REMODELING

By David Decker Glass bathroom shower doors generally last a long, long time.

And if your shower door has lasted a long, long time, my guess is that it still mostly works fine and mostly looks, no offense, old.

Typically a large, focal point of any bathroom, a shower area with an updated exterior appearance provides an immediate and dramatic improvement to the bathroom’s overall look and feel.

The very best looking, luxurious shower doors are the frameless variety. Made of heavy, rigid glass sometimes up to a half-inch thick, frameless doors have little or no metal framing and are best suited for large bathrooms with dramatic shower presentations.

Clear frameless enclosures are most popular in master bathrooms, although shading, design and etching provide endless options for a unique stylistic statement. Frameless doors are not as watertight as other styles, but they look awesome.

Semi-frameless doors typically have no frame on the swinging or sliding door itself, but have a minimal metal frame around the door casing.

They’re great in normal size bathrooms, provide a nice blend of function and style, and are easily customized.

Fully framed doors – metal all the way around the door and the casing units – are very

common in older, original construction, and usually not something we use.

One other note: the more metal, the harder it is to keep a shower door clean. Also, better shower doors have the ShowerGuard coating which prevents the pitting and ridges that lead to the cloudy, never-quite-clean look on older doors.

Replacing shower doors is something you’ll most likely want a professional to do. Even we know that the best work is done by experts, and for these unique home improvements we often partner with Mirror Concepts of Carmel (they provide bathroom mirrors and shower enclosures for the annual Indianapolis Monthly Dream Home).

How much longer do you want your glass shower door to last?

No big deal birthdays HUMOR

By Mike Redmond Another birthday has passed without incident: no drama, no foolishness, no police or fire department presence. Actually, I’ve been keeping sort of a low birthday profile since my 40 birthday when NRBQ, one of my top three bands, sang happy birthday to me while I was reviewing a show for work. It’s kind of hard to top that so I haven’t even tried.

Middle age birthdays are really in the No Big Deal category of life events anyway. After a certain amount of a card, a cake, a book it’s really just another day.

The way I see it, your first 12 or 13 birthdays are all big deals: “Oh my goodness, look who’s turning 4! 5! 6!�, and so on. You get a couple of so what years until you turn 16 and 21.

From then on, the only birthdays which matter are the decade birthdays. Then once you hit 80 or so, the whole thing starts over again: “My, my, look who’s turning 84! 85! 86!�

I’m not much for birthday presents. I know some people place a lot of emphasis on loot but I got over that a long time ago. It was my ninth birthday, in fact. My present that year was the Dick Tracy set, complete with a toy Tommy gun and snub-nose revolver with shoulder holster. It

was just the thing to have around in case Mumbles or Flattop showed up on Gilmore Road. I couldn’t wait to show my fellow neighborhood crime fighters.

My attention was diverted by the birthday pie-cutting ceremony and the niceties observed, I turned to don my holster and pick up my Tommy gun, only to find them gone.

Then I glanced out the front window to see my brother P.D. demonstrating the smooth action of the machine gun while all the kids in the neighborhood passed around my pistol and holster for inspection. P.D. had clearly overstepped his authority, so of course I threw a fit. Mom took swift action.

What happened? I got in trouble for being a brat on my birthday and had to spend time in solitary confinement while P.D., as usual, got away.

That kind of took the zing out of the whole presents thing for me. Besides, if it’s presents I want, I’m content to wait for Christmas. Just don’t forget my pie.

DISPATCHES

» Pessimistic dogs have greater separation anxiety – Dogs with a "food-bowlhalf-empty" attitude are more likely to bark, yowl and chew when left alone than dogs with a sunnier outlook, according to a new study. Researchers in the United Kingdom found that dogs who expected to find food in their bowls were much more relaxed when their owners were away than those who expected the worst - an empty food bowl. The research may help animal shelters match dogs to appropriate homes.

Taking the bite out of panic-policy making for dogs PETS

By Rebecca Stevens According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 2 percent of the U.S. population—about 4.7 million people—are bitten by a dog each year. Approximately 83 percent don’t result in injury, and no medical treatment is required.

However, about 800,000 individuals, half of them children, do seek medical treatment.

Still, the relative risk dogs pose to people compared to other causes of accidents and fatalities should be kept in mind if we are to adopt a rational, effective approach to reducing the risk of dog bites.

According to the ASPCA, a person is roughly 23 times more likely to be injured from a fall than from a dog bite, 12 times more likely to be injured by a car, 7 times more likely to be injured by a sharp object and 1.5 times more likely to be injured by a bicycle. This data is even more remarkable considering an estimated 74.8 million dogs were kept as pets in the U.S.

in 2007–2008.

Even though the U.S. Postal Service and the National Canine Research Council have reported more than a 50 percent decrease in dog bites since 1983 -- a trend that continues today -- media hysteria and ineffective, panic policymaking, including breed bans, would have you believe dog bites are an epidemic.

Dog bite prevention education is critical and starts at home and with responsible pet ownership.

First, spay and neuter. Un-neutered males are three times more likely to bite than those who are neutered and are involved in over percent of all serious or fatal dog bites.

Second, never chain or tether your dog for extended periods of time. Chained dogs are also three times more likely to bite.

• Third, make sure your dog is always on leash.

• Here are some other rules to follow: • Never leave a child unattended with any dog.

• Children should always ask permission before petting or approaching a strange dog.

• Never allow a child to pet the family dog if he or she is sleeping, eating, chewing on a bone or toy or frightened. Dogs are more likely to bite out of fear, when they’re startled, or while protecting their food or toys than any other time.

• Teach your children appropriate interaction with dogs -- petting gently, pet the neck or back instead of reaching over the face and head, never be rough with the dog such as jumping on it or pulling the tail.

• Make sure your dogs are socialized and behavior concerns are addressed by a professional.

Humane Society seeing a record number of cats » Feeding young kittens – When it comes to feeding young kittens, the bottle-and-nipple method is infinitely better and safer than the eye-dropper method. If you must resort to a dropper, though, allow the kitten to suck the milk out; do not squeeze. If you squirt milk into the kitten’s mouth, it could get into your kitty's lungs, resulting in pneumonia.

You should be able to wean you kittens off of the bottle starting at around three weeks by placing a milk replacement in a shallow saucer.

By Zach Dunkin Current in Noblesville In more than five years of service at The Humane Society for Hamilton County, Executive Director Rebecca Stevens says she has never seen anything like it.

The shelter has taken in 300 kittens and cats since Sept. 1, increasing its feline total to nearly 600.

“We typically see a large influx in the late spring due to kitten season, but it is unusual for the fall,” said Stevens, who spearheaded a discounted adoption program last weekend to help reduce the shelter’s feline population.

Stevens says what’s happening in Hamilton County mirrors national trends where folks are surrendering their pets for financial reasons and a lack of commitment to what should have been

a lifetime family member. ”When it comes to kittens, it is clearly an issue of cats not getting spayed or neutered in our community, which is mandatory in Hamilton County,” she said.

Even though the shelter is seeing record numbers, Stevens is hopeful. The shelter offered discounted rates for at adoptions last weekend to help reduce those numbers.

“We know there are enough homes out there for every animal sitting in this shelter. It’s simply a matter of people making a conscience decision to adopt versus buying from pet stores and breeders,” she said. “Too many families are missing out on the unconditional love, companionship and life lessons that come from owning a feisty feline.

Current in Noblesville

So far in 2010, the shelter has taken nearly 2,700 animals.

Black and brindle dogs seven months and older are also on an adoption special during the month of October. Their adoption fees are just $55.

“Our facility is very unique from surrounding shelters in that we give every adoptable animal in our care their best chance for a second chance regardless of age, breed, disability or special medical needs. We are asking the community to support our extraordinary, life-saving efforts by adopting, fostering, volunteering or making a financial contribution to help us save lives.”
