Achievements Noblesville couple receives philanthropic award COMMUNITY

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Jim and Juanita Harger received the Legacy Fund Living Legacy Award for their philanthropic contributions to Noblesville and Hamilton County during Celebration of Philanthropy on Nov. 8.

The Hargers were the fourth recipients of the Living Legacy Award. Created by Legacy Fund, an affiliate of Central Indiana Community Foundation, the award recognizes Hamilton County residents for their philanthropic contributions to the community.

“It’s very humbling. We never thought we deserved this award.

To be recognized is very humbling,” said Juanita. “To be honored by your peers and the community is quite an honor and that’s how we view it,” Juanita said.

“It’s quite an honor. What we did, we never did it for recognition. We’re not used to being put in the limelight,” Jim added.

Jim is active in First United Methodist church, served 10 years on the Noblesville Township Advisory Board and the board of Wainwright Bank and Trust, and was also the founding president of Legacy Fund.

“It was easy for me to say yes when Bob Campbell and Tori Hanson came to me in 1991 to be the founding president,” he said. “Legacy Fund was giving us an opportunity to expand philanthropic endeavors in a growing Hamilton County.”

In addition to her 15-year career as a school counselor, Juanita has held leadership positions in church, clubs and organizations in Noblesville. She joined Tri Kappa Sorority and became president, and was also the founding president of the Noblesville-Hamilton Southeastern Public Library Foundation. The couple is also dedicated to the arts in Noblesville, the Theater Guild and the Cultural Arts Commission.

“Jim and I view our journey as a ‘Y.’ We came from two different paths and joined together to become one in our philanthropic

goals: education, people and community,” Juanita said.

Previous recipients of the Legacy Fund Living Legacy Award include The Crosser family, The Beck family and Judi Campbell, M.D. “The Hargers represent the best of Hamilton County and our community, and are truly the embodiment of philanthropy,” said Legacy Fund President Terry Anker. “They have given their time, talent and treasure in support of people, education and community, and we all have benefited from their dedication and gifts.”

An annual event, Celebration of Philanthropy was held at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, and in addition to the award ceremony, featured a showcase of 47 of the county’s not-for-profit organizations as well as a performance by comedian Dave Dugan. Approximately 450 people attended the event.

“It’s an amazing event, great people,” Jim said.

Wafford recognized for business, charity work

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurret.com

Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear, left, recognized Jim Wafford with Logan Street Signs and Banners with a proclamation stating Nov. 8 as “Logan Street Signs and Banners and Jim Wafford Day” in honor of the 20th anniversary business as well as Wafford’s support for the Noblesville community and area non-profits.

“I am flattered and honored that Mayor Ditslear took time out in his busy schedule to present such a proclamation to a family owned small business,” said Wafford. “It shows that no matter what the size of the business in Noblesville, it is great to be in business in the City of Noblesville!”

“We all know Jim and Logan Street Signs and Banners and how gracious they are to the city and everyone,” said Ditslear.

“They really are great citizens.”

Ditslear said Wafford has been an active member of nine local nonprofit organizations and has generously donated or dis-

counted goods and services to more than a dozen more throughout the past 20 years.

He was named the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year in 2005.

“Jim Wafford truly loves the Noblesville community and its people,” Ditslear said.

Logan Street Signs and Banners began in Noblesville as Eagle Creek Express Printing in 1992. The business grew and moved from 950 Logan St. to 935 Logan St. in 1994, changing its name in the process. Three years later, due to more growth, the business moved again to 1720 S. 10th St. In 2005, the business expanded yet again with the addition of Noblesville Trophies and Promotions, which is now managed by Wafford’s wife, Sherry.

Arrest / News

Two arrested for manufacturing meth in Noblesville

Community Health Network launches Indiana’s first exclusive local affiliation with MD Anderson Cancer Network

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

editorial@youarecurrent.com

A man and woman have been arrested in connection with an ongoing methamphetamine manufacturing operation in Noblesville.

On Nov. 1, members of the Hamilton/Boone County Drug Task Force recovered the remnants of a methamphetamine lab in the 400 block of Kings Lane, a government subsidized apartment complex in Noblesville. On Nov. 8, members of the Hamilton/Boone County Drug Task Force obtained arGlover rest warrants for Kara Glover and Joshwa Cotton.

Glover, 25, of the 400 block of Kings Lane was arrested by a drug task force officer near the intersection of Conner Street and Cumberland Road in Noblesville. Cotton, 29, of Cotton the 1700 block of Witt Ave., Lebanon, was taken into custody in Frankfort and was extradited to Hamilton County.

Both are charged with manufacturing methamphetamine in a government housing complex, a Class A felony; possession of methamphetamine in a government housing complex, a Class B felony; and possession of precursors with intent to manufacture methamphetamine in a government housing complex, a Class C felony.

The drug task force was assisted in the investigation by the Noblesville Police Department, the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Team and the Frankfort Police Department.

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.”

COMMUNITY

Common Council

Action: Amending the nuisance section of the city code What it means: The Common Council adopted ordinances in 1983 and earlier this year related to identifying and abating public nuisances such as the proper disposal of garbage, the maintenance of grass and weeds, and the elimination of debris and junk. The city’s planning and street departments have encountered situations since the passage of those prior ordinances which require the city code to be further amended, clarified and reordered. There are no major changes in the amendment but makes the code “more consumable from the public’s perspective.”

What’s next: The ordinance will be in front of the council for adoption on Nov. 27

Action: Annexation of lots in Craig Highlands What it means: The city will annex lots 50-52 and 93-95 in Craig Highlands, the northeast corner of Cumberland Road and Mallery Drive, which are contiguous to the corporate boundaries of the city. The lots are being annexed voluntarily and follow a previous annexation ordinance from the city.

What’s next: A public hearing took place Nov. 13 with no comments from the public. The ordinance will be in front of the council for adoption on Nov. 27

Action: Ordinance authorizing the investment of public funds What it means: A state law change now allows the city to invest funds out to five years instead of two years. “I do not feel I should invest out longer than my term is,” said Clerk-Treasurer Janet Jaros. The change has been put in place to allow local governments to get better returns on investments. Jaros is looking at a tiered plan so the city would have items coming back every six months.

What’s next: The ordinance will be in front of the council for adoption on Nov. 27

Action: Transfer in the parks department What it means: Parks Director Don Seal has asked the council to make several changes in the department’s budget, including the increase of $9,670 for equipment, $6,520 for contractual services and $4,600 in overtime and decreases of $16,190 in temporary wages and $4,600 in FICA. The decreases stem from less mowing and services that were needed this hot, dry summer.

What’s next: The increased funds will be used to purchase a walk-behind auto scrubber to clean Forest Park Inn and Lodge, a computer, six Walkie Talkies, a tent and will repair a section of the trail at “wetland,” Hague Road and Ind. 38.

Action: Adopt investment policy for the city What it means: To approve the ordinance authorizing the investment of public funds, the council first had to approve an investment policy. The policy comes from the agencies that worked with the state on the statue. Council President Greg O’Connor described the policy as “very conservative.”

Mallery to reprise role as Santa

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

In 1962, Garrick Mallery played Santa in the very first Noblesville Christmas Parade. This year, the 50th anniversary of the parade, Mallery will reprise his role as Kris Kringle.

“It’s going to be fun,” he said. “I hope the weather’s fit.”

Mallery, who turns 85 on Dec. 21, will don the same red suit he wore all those years ago.

“I wore it last year to get Mallery a photo taken with my great grandson,” he said. “I don’t loan it out because it’s a good one.”

After graduating from Purdue in 1951, Mallery returned to Noblesville and started his career in real estate. He was director of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce when the inaugural parade was planned.

“When they put it together, I guess they thought I was bigger than anybody else,” he jokingly said. “I was glad to play Santa because I had been him before for a few stores.”

After the first year, Mallery continued portraying Santa in the parade for the next seven or eight years.

“It’ll be my first time back (in the parade since then),” he said. “I’ve attended the parade with my kids and grandkids.”

Mallery fondly remembers the experience of

that first year. He was joined by his helpers, Pam Swhier and Carol Jo Kenley, and rode atop a Noblesville fire truck.

“There was a swarm of people. I’ve never seen so many people,” said Mallory. “The paper said 8,000 people attended but Noblesville only had a population of 5,000 at that time so people came to Noblesville for the parade.”

One of the highlights from the inaugural parade was the unexpected reaction he heard about from just greeting a child. As the parade turned a corner, Mallery’s secretary was standing there with her son, who Mallery yelled hello to by name.

“He looked up at her and said, ‘Santa knows my name?’ She told him, ‘He knows where you live so you better be a good boy,’” Mallery said with a chuckle.

The Christmas parade will be held at 2 p.m.

Sunday. This year’s theme will be “The Magic of Santa.”

After serving as Santa for a decade, Don Roberts is honored as Noblesville Holiday Parade grand marshal

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com After hearing the wishes of thousands of young children for the past nine years as Santa, Don Roberts was given his own gift this winter – grand marshal of the annual Noblesville Christmas Parade.

“I’m just as honored as I can be,” the longtime Noblesville resident said. “I’ve been Santa for nine years and this makes my 10th year. I’m retiring after this Christmas, they need some young fellas.”

For many years, the Santa house on the downtown Noblesville Courthouse Square was an annual tradition. After an absence of it for several years, Roberts pressed the Hamilton County Historical Society build a new Santa house.

“I said I will build it, insulate it, paint it, take it away and if necessary, I will be Santa Claus,” said the Navy veteran and retired Noblesville High School teacher.

10 | November 20, 2012

The Hamilton County Commissioners approved the request to have the house on the Courthouse Square in 2001. True to his word, Roberts built the house and has served as one of the Santas each year since then.

“Many people in Noblesville are grateful to Don for the guidance he provided to them as a teacher,” said Mayor John Ditslear.

“There is another, younger generation of people who don’t know Don as himself but only as ‘Santa’ and that group of young people is equally as grateful to him.”

An asset to the community, the Santa House provides a chance to greet Santa for more than just Noblesville residents. Roberts Current in Noblesville

Santa Claus Hours Come visit Santa Claus at his house on the Noblesville Courthouse Square and tell him what you’d like for Christmas! Families may bring their own camera and take photos at no charge. Santa will be in his house on the following days: 3 to 5:30 p.m. Sunday; 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23; 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 7; 4 to 7 p.m. Dec. 13 and 20; and noon to 3 p.m. Dec. 24.

On Sunday, Dec. 7 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Dec. 8 and 15, stop by the tent next to Santa’s house and enjoy a free cup of cocoa, thanks to Noblesville Main Street.

Noblesville Holiday Parade Sunday’s parade will begin at 2 p.m. The parade starts at 16th Street and Harrison Street and will travel south on 16th to Logan Street, west on Logan to Ninth Street, north on Ninth to Monument Street, and east on Monument to 16th Street. For more information, visit www.cityofnoblesville.org. said the lack of local opportunities has caused residents from other Hamilton County cities and towns, Anderson, Lapel and even Elwood to travel to our city.

“People come to Noblesville and line up and the harder I work the longer the line gets,” he said. “The line goes on and on . . . I go two hours before I can stand up and stretch my legs.”

Roberts said 95 percent of the Santa House guests are perfectly behaved, 1 percent is “really weird” and the other 4 percent is “so sad you don’t believe it.” Roberts said his heart breaks when he hears how a little girl’s mother is in prison or when a boy said all he wanted for Christmas was a pair of shoes.

“I have a mobile phone and a pad of paper and pen. If a kid needs a pair of shows I will see to it he gets a pair of shoes,” said Roberts. “It’s just sad sometimes.”

While he hears the occasional sad story, the smile on the faces of young children makes all of his hard work with it.

“When that door opens and a little 4-year-old girl runs over with her arms spread, dressed in her Sunday best, and jumps in your lap and says ‘Santa, I love you.’ That is why I do it,” he said.

But his time as Kris Kringle doesn’t end once he leaves the Santa House. Those who might miss their chance to get photographs with Santa stop Roberts on the way to his car or event once he is in his car. Roberts said on one occasion a person knocked on his window, and as soon as he lowered it, a baby was handed through the window and their picture was taken.

“It has gotten overwhelming,” he said.

Roberts planned to volunteer as Santa, but after the first year, he received a check from the city of Noblesville for his time.

Surprised, Roberts told the city a mistake was made, which they insisted it wasn’t. True to the red outfit he wears, Roberts took his check and donated the amount to the Red Cross – something he has done every year since.

“I’ve helped a lot of families on my own,” he said. “It just seems fun to help someone. (Having) that giving spirit.”

When he is not wearing his red suit, Roberts stays active in the community a member of the Hamilton County Historical Society and First United Methodist Church, owning properties around Noblesville, working construction and being co-owner of Noblesville Airport with fellow former NHS teacher Larry Jacobi.

“We went to borrow a quarter of a million dollars and they loaned it to us,” said Roberts. “My part was paid off in a year and a half.”

Roberts said the small airport located on Promise Road is home to 30 airplanes. He is currently helping his grandson learn to fly.

“He’s 15 years old and takes off and lands as good as I do,” he said with a smile. www.currentnoblesville.com

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

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.

Cordelia also cautions those preparing the turkey to be certain to remove all of the innards or “turkey parts” before proceeding with the seasoning and stuffing.

“Some people like to stuff their turkey with celery, carrots, and onions which gives an added flavor,” he said.

As for cooking the turkey, Cordelia recommends 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 set for 20-30 minutes before carving.

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

Finally, Cordelia offers this as possibly the most valuable piece of advice for maximizing the enjoyment of your Thanksgiving Day – “Plan ahead!”

“Get as much done as you can on the day before Thanksgiving. That way you’re not spending all day in the kitchen,” Cordelia says emphatically.

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.

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

NOBLESVILLE HOLIDAY PARADE

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.

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.

Get fit, have fun, and enjoy your escape!

DOUGH

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 more than 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. 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 rooms above the first floor.

• 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.

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

Our IBJ 2012 All-Star Agents!

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

These Tucker agents made the Indianapolis Business Journal’s list of top producers in the market.

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.
