A new name in healthcare

By Lauren Olsen • news@curentinwestfield.com

During her State of the Hospital address to the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce on March 26, CEO and President Pat Fox made a major health announcement: Riverview Hospital and its affiliates will be known as Riverview Health.

During the next six to 18 months, Fox said visitors can expect to see internal and external changes, such as a new electronic Fox message board above the hospital’s main entrance and an overhauled website as the organization makes the changeover to Riverview Health.

“The name change does not mean there will be any changes in personnel,” she said. “We are unveiling a very strong, new identity and a refresh because we need to make sure people in Hamilton County and others are aware of Riverview Health, and what services we provide, so we need to get their attention.”

Riverview Hospital has served the local community since it first opened as Harrell Hospital and Sanatorium in 1909.

“Over the years, we’ve expanded, making us much more than the four walls of a hospital,” Fox said.

“Through this name change, we’re not only embracing our rich history, but also reaffirming our strong commitment to our community.”

In addition to the name change, Riverview Health also has modernized its logo with changes to the color and font. The updated tagline will now be: “Right size. Right care. Right here.”

“We are celebrating our size; we don’t need to be a big medical center. The size is just right. You will get the right care when you are at our facilities and we are right here in your local community,” Fox said.

The organization offers a full scope of inpatient and outpatient services, which includes family medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN care, cardiac care, surgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, cancer care, interventional pain management, wound care, diabetes and endocrinology, internal medicine and imaging, among others.

“Our product is very unique; they are human ser-

vices, not only physical, but spiritual and emotional.

It really is a very great and rewarding industry to be in,” Fox said.

Riverview Health has 26 buildings for outpatient services in Fishers, Sheridan, Tipton, Westfield, Noblesville, Carmel and Cicero. The organization’s physician network, Riverview Medical Group, will remain unchanged.

“As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, so must we,” said Fox. “With many more healthcare changes on the horizon, it’s critical that we focus on what’s most important to the people in our community.”

Chamber members were receptive of the announcement and the changes Riverview plans to make.

“I think the name change is fantastic, it’s a very progressive change and it’s a reflection on how the Noblesville community is continuing to grow and stay relevant in today’s world,” said Philip Fozo Fozo, Harbour Trees Golf & Beach Club manager.

“I think most people associate the word hospital with in- and out-patient care, and don’t realize all of the services they are able to provide. I think the name change is great, and will better reflect what BInkers they can offer the community,” said Toni Brinkers, community services representative of Prairie Lakes Health Campus.

2 join Westfield police force

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Westfield Police Dept. has hired two new officers, the first addition to the force since 2009. public service “We’re real excited to grow our family. It puts us up to 42 officers,” Police Chief Joel Rush said.

The newest officers are Dewey Abney and Brandon Gehlhausen.

“It gives us a couple more people to offset issues because of service needs,” Rush said, adding that shifts will consist of six to seven officers. “We’re really blessed to have a low crime rate, but there is a huge call for service.”

Abney grew up near Crawfordsville, where he graduated Southmont High School in 2003.

In 2005 he obtained his associates degree in computer electronic engineering technology at ITT Tech. Shortly after graduating, he began a career as an engineer drafter and married his high school sweetheart, Carisaa Buis. They moved to Hamilton County where they currently reside. While here, Abney became a volunteer firefighter and received his first taste of community service. After working five years as an engineering drafter, Abney decided he belonged in public service. In 2009 he began a career with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office in the jail division. After four and a half years of service he decided it was time to move beyond the walls of the jail and out into the community.

Westfield’s newest police officers, Dewey Abney, left, and Brandon Gehlhausen, increase the forces’ size to 42 officers. (Submitted photo)

Before moving to Westfield, Gehlhausen grew up and lived in Fishers. He attended Indiana University and graduated in 2012. While at IU, Gehlhausen completed the Indiana University Police Academy in 2011. He served with the IU Police Dept. for two years. Gehlhausen’s father, Tom, is a major for the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and his mother, Beth, serves as the director for Meals on Wheels in Hamilton County.

Abney was to begin the police academy in Plainfield on March 31. Rush said Gehlhausen will be in field training the next couple months and should have a solo car by mid-summer.

Opening the lines of communication Commentary by Scott Jordan A new social media site, www.nextdoor.com, is assisting the public and Westfield Police Dept. to better interact with one another. city Question: What is Nextdoor.com?

Answer: Nextdoor is a social media site that allows neighbors to connect. We were made aware of it due to the involvement of one of our officers, as well as a resident named Aaron Sherrick who was an early adopter and advocate for the site in Countryside. Aaron did a great job of getting his neighbors signed up.

Q: Why Nextdoor.com?

A: Nextdoor is a great social media tool that the police department will use to enhance communication with our residents and neighborhoods. This resource will allow the police department to learn about neighborhood challenges and problems. We will also share information regarding specific criminal activity and we will send immediate urgent alerts as needed.

We have already seen tremendous success.

Since officially launching on the site three weeks ago we have seen almost a thousand residents join and doubled the number of neighborhoods involved. Currently, there are 49 neighborhoods out of 74; 32 of which are fully launched and 17 that are in the pilot stage. At time of writing, there are 2,163 households – or 2,773 residents – that are participating. This is phenomenal.

Q: How Does Nextdoor Help?

A: Because Nextdoor is based on neighborhood participation, it allows us to send relevant, geographically important information to people in a clearly defined area. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, which allows us to blast out information to the entire world, Nextdoor helps us engage in dialogue with specific areas. This means that not every neighborhood will receive the same info.

This will help us alert neighbors in a particular community about suspicious activity, such as thefts from vehicles or vandalism, in an effort to prevent instances from occurring. And this info isn’t just for your PC – we are able to also send alerts via text message.

In addition, we’ll also be proactive, using Nextdoor as a way to educate citizens. This could include walking folks through the process of reporting a crime, teaching them how to submit a vacation check request, detailing home safety best practices and educating them about what solicitors are approved to be knocking on their doors.

To sign up, visit www.nextdoor.com.

Scott Jordan is the assistant chief of police for the Westfield Police Department. He can be reached at sjordan@westfield.in.gov or by calling 804-3200.

Cathedral High School raises nearly half a million dollars for tuition assistance at annual gala ShamrAuction 2014 sets new fundraising records for school INDIANAPOLIS—March 12, 2014—Nicole Beasley, vice president for advancement at Cathedral High School, announces that the school’s annual fundraising gala, ShamrAuction, has raised $465,000 for tuition assistance and other vital student services. “This year’s effort set new records for attendance, sponsorship, donations, and dollars raised,” says Beasley. “We are humbled and blessed by the generosity of our Cathedral community.”

“ShamrAuction is one of the oldest and biggest fundraising galas of its kind in the Midwest,” says Monica Pollom, Cathedral’s new director of events and corporate relations, “so the bar was set pretty high for success of this year’s event.” Tickets sold out several weeks prior to the February 22 event, marking a new attendance record of 820 in the event’s 37-year history. Sponsorships, too, reached a high-water mark in 2014 with 40 companies and individuals supporting tuition assistance through the ShamrAuction. “We are so pleased to have exceeded our fundraising goals by $30,000,” says Pollom. “Diversity is one of the core values here at Cathedral and supporting tuition assistance programs are one of the main ways the school maintains its geographic, religious, academic, economic, and racial diversity.” Cathedral High School currently draws students from more than 100 feeder schools and eight counties in central Indiana.

The ShamrAuction depends heavily on parents, volunteers, and committees to create an event of this magnitude. “We have 360 volunteers involved,” says Mary Myers, assistant director of events and volunteer coordinator, “including committee members, parents, alumni, current faculty, administration, and staff along with the 210 Cathedral students who help make this night possible. Without them, the ShamrAuction wouldn’t exist.” This year’s co-chairs were Theresa Rhodes and Walter Niemczura both local business leaders and current Cathedral parents. Father Glenn O’Connor, pastor of St. Susanna Catholic Church, Tom Zupancic, Cathedral class of 1973, and Janelle Christie, Indianapolis Colts, served as the evening’s emcees and auctioneers.

Register your little adventurer for a fun camp this summer!

Grade/subject at what school: Fourth grade, Shamrock Springs Elementary Number of years teaching: Nine Background/schooling: Sacred Heart Academy, Louisville; and B.A. and M.A.T. elementary education, University of Louisville Why did you become a teacher? In college, I was an assistant basketball coach and learned that I loved being around kids. I consider it a privilege to be a teacher and to be part of a kid’s life even just for a year. I hope they leave fourth grade with fond memories of what they learned and their teacher.

What goals do you have for your students? I want my students to enjoy coming to school and be excited about what we are learning. I love it when a kid doesn’t want to wait till tomorrow to read the next chapter or when their eyes light up during a science experiment.

What do you encourage parents to do at

home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Every parent needs to be a reading role model for their child. Children need to see their parents reading for information and enjoyment. I know with busy schedules, it is hard to make time for reading. As a family, try to set some time a side for reading, where everyone stops everything and just reads.

It will make a world of difference on your child’s attitude towards books.

Who is your favorite movie? “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “Office Space” Who is your favorite musician or band?

Arcade Fire and Ben Folds What’s something your students might not know about you? I am obsessed with Broadway musicals and try to travel to New York whenever I can.

INDOT, officials provide a status update on U.S. 31 construction

By Lauren Olsen • news@currentinwestfield.com Construction of U.S. 31 is entering year four, and recent developments have closed interchanges cover story and congested traffic to single lanes.

INDOT consultants Jason Rowley, design manager and engineer, and Jill Hoffmann, Empower Results president, Hoffman who have been a part of this project since the draft of the environmental analyses, shared the details of what should be expected as the project moves towards completion in 2015.

“Our goal is to reduce conRowley gestion and improve safety,” said Hoffmann. “This project area stretches about 13 miles from I-465 to Ind. 38, and is linked to other projects in South Bend and Kokomo in order to move regional commerce up and down U.S. 31.”

A major part of the construction project, expected to be completed by Thanksgiving, was to take place April 4 – the closure of U.S. 31 between Old Meridian and 136th Street. The motivation to move up the construction date was to “keep the project on schedule, finish the job, and finish U.S. 31 by 2015,” said Rowley.

“The schedule is very realistic, pending any

“The contractors are very experienced, and they know what they are doing.”

In addition to the closure on U.S. 31, another big area of construction is the U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 intersection.

“U.S. 31 and Ind. 32 will both remain open during construction in Westfield. Traffic on U.S. 31 will be shifting to share the northbound half of the highway in early April. It will remain in this configuration through this year, and both directions will shift to share the new southbound side next year,” INDOT Spokesman Nathan Riggs said.

Mandy Williams, property manager of Maple Knoll Apartments, is particularly looking forward to this part of the construction project.

“We are located about one WIlliams and a half miles from the U.S. 31/ Ind. 32 Intersection. So I know the construction will affect people coming to our property.

Although the project is projected to finish by October 2015, beautification will still be an open item.

“The context sensitive design elements are intended to mimic Indiana’s natural history … the walls are custom form liners designed to mimic Indian limestone rock outcropping. The plants selected for the landscaping are native and naturalized plants,” Hoffmann said.

“U.S. 31 is a gift to us from the Major Moves Plan. It was (former) Gov. Mitch Daniels’ very innovative and bold move to lease the toll road for $3.8 billion,” said Westfield Mayor Andy Cook. “A project like U.S. 31 wouldn’t even be happening if it weren’t for that bold move.”

So, what do the residents’ think of this major undertaking?

“If you ask most people they will say it’s going very well. The citizens are very happy with the program,” Cook said.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Money well spent

by Legacy Fund It was heartening to learn last week that the Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program, has been granted $50,000 by Legacy Fund. We’ve watched Westfield’s program evolve through the last five years, and we are proud to sponsor it annually. This kind of shot in the arm will help the initiative continue to make a significant difference for at-risk and otherwise troubled children in our midst.

Legacy Fund, an affiliate with the Central Indiana Community Foundation, has served Hamilton County since 1991. The Youth Assistance Program, launched in Westfield in 2009, states that it strives to build a healthy community for tomorrow by extending a helping hand to the youth of today through family assistance, tutoring and mentoring. For more information on Legacy Fund, visit www.cicf.org/legacy-fund.

For more on the Youth Assistance Program, visit www.youthassistance.org/westfield. We commend Legacy Fund on its grant, which will be money well spent.

Van Gogh I’m not

Sloth or the will to succeed Commentary by Terry Anker

One struggles with the concept of sloth. We enjoy a leisurely weekend on the sofa pretending to “catch-up” on vital recorded sit-coms all-thewhile sleeping soundly as our families cooperate with the fiction. But on Monday morning, we’re off again to confront the daily battles, of the working, first-world human. Yet one witnesses our progeny, arguably our closest genetic match, and we judge. Yes, we judge with reckless abandon. How dare they sleep until noon? How dare they eat seemingly endless calories without gaining the telltale weight that befalls those of us who have been blessed by “the good life?”

But, now is their time. The sleep is precipitated by unregulated growth and surging hormones. While quarterly calculus finals amuse us compared to mortgage payments and angry in-laws, the stress of youth in present times is real and measurable. Without regard to our own challenges – often addressed as the two-way walk, uphill to school and back – it is true to

acknowledge that the modern world has delivered “modern” problems to even the youngest amongst our ranks.

But if present day media has anything to say about it, humanity is doomed. The youth in our midst lack both the ability and the desire to carry their own weight. Could it be true? Are we nearing the end of our reign as the dominant species? Yet Roy and Katie Appleget from Burlington, Iowa, lived in a tent at a local campground for months on end accumulating the down-payment for their first home. While many took handouts, these working-class heroes decided to figure it out on their own. Does the will to succeed exceed our thirst for sloth; or is it simply that Roy and Katie have missed the virtue of Ferragamo or the latest iWhatever?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul.

- Thomas Merton

For several years I’ve covered the celebrity bowl-a-thon at Washington Woods Elementary School, and this year, thanks to principal Dr. Brian Williams, I not only took photographs of the event but I was invited to make a bowl.

On March 25, I joined 44 other local celebrities to assist Westfield Washington Schools’ goal of raising funds and awareness for local hunger issues. Like the others, I started with a blank white bowl. Unlike the others, mine remained blank for several minutes patiently awaiting a brush with paint glaze as ideas bounced around my head.

My artistic talents are behind the camera so I wanted to call dibs on the paint by number bowl or drawing stick figures. However, I didn’t want to be the joke of the auction and luckily I had assistance from fourth-grade student Zoe Klink. We came up with a plan to use a stencil and I trusted her eye to select paint from the color palette.

Not to brag but it is the best blue bowl with a white Colts horseshoe and football designed exterior available in the auction. Yes, this exceptional piece of art can be yours during the auction at the district’s Empty Bowls event on April 30.

Nearly 1,000 bowls will be available to the public for a donation from 5 to 7 p.m. at Westfield Middle School. Along with displaying all the art bowls, the district will offer a simple meal of bread and soup. All the proceeds go to local hunger-fighting agencies, including Open Doors of Westfield, Gleaners Food Bank and the Amanda Strong Foundation.

What I enjoyed about being a part of Empty Bowls was how the district took a local issue and got students involved with making an impact through hands-on learning. It also provides a unique creative outlet for students – and a keepsake for parents at a minimal price.

Time apart rechargs the batteries Commentary by Danielle Wilson My husband has been getting on my nerves lately, which is why I was absolutely thrilled when he volunteered to take our humor oldest to Cincinnati for a soccer tournament. Sure, I had to suffer through a dance competition with more drama and hair spray than I’d experienced in 1987 at my all-girls high school, but the short break from spouse hood was sorely needed.

Is that bad? Am I a terrible wife for wanting Doo out from under foot for a bit? It’s just that recently he’s totally been screwing with my highly sacred morning routine. See, I’m an introvert who spends all my waking hours either dealing with my own four children or 150 of other people’s. As such, I like to begin my day with as little stimulus as possible. Normally I come downstairs to a dark and sleepy main floor, make my coffee, feed the dog, finish lunches, and head out, having only spoken briefly to my oldest daughter. Last week, however, Doo beat me to the punch every morning! The TV was at full volume, every light was a-blazing, and my husband was rat-tat-tatting on his laptop, all by 5:30! And he wanted to talk. So my usual “me time” suddenly became “our time” and I was definitely not on board with it.

Granted, I married Doo because he is an extrovert. I love that he thrives on sounds, lights, and lots of personal interaction. But normally said

extrovert is a night owl, which plays nicely into not only my morning requirements, but also my admittedly anal-bedtime environment.

Black-hole darkness; vibrating sound machine, occasionally placed right underneath my noggin for ultimate chatter/television cancelling capability; argyle knee-sock-turned eye mask; and four not-too-hard, not-too-soft pillows. The name of the game is sensory deprivation, fans, so when Doo decides 9 o’clock is his time to crash, too, my carefully laid plans go to straight to hell.

Obviously, my habits drive him bonkers just as much. He commented as he skipped out the door Saturday morning, “I can’t wait to sleep in a hotel tonight!”

For both of us it seems, the time apart was lovely. We got to do our own things in the manner we like to do them without worrying about frustrating (or being frustrated by) each other’s preferences. And that made us both happier when he returned.

I am a far better person when Doo’s around, and actually need his energy to get me through many a day. But the occasional solo weekend can definitely be a nice respite. Even if it involves some dance mania. Peace out.

Trapped in a Nicholas Cage

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

When my wife and I decide on what film to see in a local theater, it’s a pretty simple process, one developed by Mary Ellen. humor She picks a movie (that’s movie A) and then I suggest a movie (that’s movie B). Then my wife says: “Why would we spend $15 to see a B movie when we can see an A movie?” This is why I have never seen Jennifer Lopez on the big screen.

There has to be a better system.

I began investigating some online movie services and decided to subscribe to Netflix, but I had to justify the new expense to Mary Ellen.

Dick: Mary Ellen, I think it’s time we sign up for Netflix.

Mary Ellen: Why? Dick: Because they stream movies.

Mary Ellen: What does that mean?

Dick: I have no idea. But it’s only eight bucks a month.

In order to enjoy Netflix, we were advised to ditch our old DVD machine and buy a Blu-ray player. Then we hired someone to hook everything up and that night Mary Ellen and I sat in front of the TV for about four hours — not watching a movie, but trying to figure out which of three remotes to use. We did a lot of scrolling, pressing and pointing the remote at the TV. There were dozens of different categories like

crime, mystery, fantasy, adventure, romance and Westerns, to name a few. We didn’t know where to begin. The only thing we really agreed on was that we didn’t much like Nicolas Cage, which narrowed down the options considerably. Then we both made a list of the other elements in a movie that allowed each of us a veto.

Mary Ellen: No blood, no hour-long car chase scenes, no gratuitous sex, no juvenile bathroom humor.

Dick: No subtitles, no flashbacks, no Victorian mansions, no sappy love stories, no prequels, no sequels. (Ungratuitous sex was OK.) We also axed all movies with less than a twostar rating by Netflix viewers and canned the few hundred films we had already seen. This narrowed our choice down to a couple dozen, but it turned out they were all animated features.

We settled on the DreamWorks mega-hit “The Croods.” We made popcorn and cuddled up.

Yes, it started out to be the perfect evening.

Except for one thing. Who was doing the voice of the caveman Grug, one of the main characters?

Yeah, you guessed it: Nicolas Cage.

A Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre ensemble cast dances during the entrance into Jerusalem in “Superhero: The Story of a Man Called Jesus.” (Submitted photo)

Passion of Christ told through dance

By Terri Spilman editorial@youarecurrent.com The Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s original production of “Superhero: The Story of a Man Called Jesus” theatre has ascended as a not-tobe-missed Easter tradition running April 4 and 5 at the Tarkington Theatre at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

“I just felt like I wanted to do a danced version of the Passion,” said Artistic Director Gregory Hancock. “There have been many movies made of the Passion, I don’t think there’s been too many danced versions. It is such a compelling story and so interesting, with a lot of interesting characters so I decided to create my version of it.”

This critically acclaimed, full-length modern ballet follows the last week of the life of Jesus as told through the perspective of Jesus and the women surrounding him, and his complicated relationships with Judas Iscariot.

Even the cast is predominately female with only two males out of 60 cast members.

“The piece kind of starts out with a rock concert feel, people are sometimes

just a little surprised or taken aback, but there is this evolution that happens and by the end it feels very classical and beautiful.” Hancock created the contemporary soundtrack from a variety of music sources that includes pop music from artists such as U2 and Rob Thomas as well as some music from film.

Hancock uses bright colors and costume influences from many places in the world.

“We are all kind of programmed that Jesus needs to be dressed in a white robe but I don’t know why. That’s the beauty of art. We can kind of add our feelings or our impressions of things to it. It’s a very personal piece for me as most of my work is.”

Superhero features Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre veteran dancers Martin Casanova as Jesus, Heather Helene King as Mother Mary, Melanie Eakman as Mary Magdalene and guest artist Liang Fu as Judas.

“Superhero: The Story of a Man Called Jesus” is a critically acclaimed, full-length modern ballet that follows the last week of the life of Jesus told through the perspective of Jesus, the women surrounding him and his complicated relationship with Judas Iscariot.

The facts about antibiotics use Commentary by Andrew McLaren, MD We’ve read and heard about the serious healthcare issue of “antibiotic resistance” for years. What does it really wellness mean, and what do we need to remember about antibiotics the next time a cold or sore throat strikes?

First, it’s important to know what antibiotics treat – and what they don’t. Antibiotics kill bacteria and are effective in treating bacterial infections. They don’t kill viruses, which typically cause many common ailments, such as cold, flu and other viral illnesses.

If we continually take antibiotics for illnesses that won’t appropriately respond to them, these medicines may not work when we do need them because bacteria can develop resistance to them.

It works like this. Every time we take antibiotics, there is a greater chance there will be some bacteria left behind that the medicine doesn’t kill.

Over time, these bacteria become stronger and more antibiotic resistant. Thus, antibiotic overuse has the potential to create “super bugs” – illnesses we aren’t able to treat effectively with the antibiotics we have available.

Additionally, antibiotics have side effects, so using them wisely – and for the right reasons – is recommended. While many of the side effects are mild and don’t affect everyone, antibiotics can cause nausea and diarrhea and may make

users more sensitive to sunlight. These medicines also kill most of the bacteria in the body that react to them – even the “good” bacteria that we need to maintain healthy systems. This can lead to complications, such as upset stomach, diarrhea and vaginal infections.

Because the human body has tremendous capabilities to heal itself, many common viral illnesses will eventually resolve without medications, and you’ll feel better. This is true for the majority of sore throat cases and even most cases of bronchitis. As always, consult your primary care doctor if you have an illness that lasts longer than a couple of weeks. Understanding the facts about antibiotics and working in partnership with your doctor, you’ll be better able to make the best decisions about when medications are needed to treat illness.

A new study in the International Journal of Obesity suggests that 30 minutes of high-intensity cardio can better suppress hunger-stimulating hormones than moderate or low-intensity workouts. Intense workouts also burn more calories while exercising. - Naturalhealthmag.com Go ahead and skip that meai – Contrary to popular belief, research suggests that skipping a meal or two can be beneficial. Intermittent fasting before a workout can trigger hormonal changes conducive to burning fat and building muscle. Fasting may take time to get used to, but it will help the body perform better when it does have fuel in the tank.

dispatch Banks fail stress tests - The Federal Reserve approved the capital plans of 25 of the nation’s 30 largest banks March 26 as part of the final leg of their annual required stress tests. Of the five banks that were rejected, three were U.S. subsidiaries of foreign banks. The most notable was Citigroup. None of the five banks will be allowed to increase dividends or share repurchases for the next year. In addition, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs were confidentially asked last week to resubmit their capital plans. The Fed said those banks would also have failed this week’s stress test had they not resubmitted their plans. In both of those cases, the banks had proposed dividends or share repurchases that would have put them in jeopardy of falling below the minimum the Fed requires on a key financial ratio had the economy entered another severe recession.

Social Security often is one of the most overlooked aspects of proper retirement income planning. Here are some specific finance rules to keep in mind as you start factoring your Social Security benefits into your retirement planning.

You contribute 6.2 percent of your income Workers pay 6.2 percent of their earnings into the Social Security system, up to $117,000 in 2014.

Employers pay a matching 6.2 percent for each worker. Self-employed workers must contribute 12.4 percent of their income annually.

How your benefit is calculated Social Security payments are calculated based on your 35 highest-earning years in the workforce, and are also adjusted for inflation. If you don’t have 35 years of earnings, zeros are averaged in for the years you didn’t pay into Social Security.

Know your full retirement age You can collect the full amount of Social Security you have earned at what the Social Security Administration calls your full retirement age, which varies based on your birth year. It is very important to know when your full retirement age is because of earnings limit restrictions if you file early, potential spousal benefit strategies at or after full retirement age, and timing of benefits as part of your overall retirement income planning strategy. The current ages for full retirement benefits are 65 and 8 months for those born in 1941, 65 and 10 months if born in 1942, 66 for those born between 1943-1954, 66 and 2 months in 1955, 66 and 4 months in 1956, 66 and 6 months in 1957, 66 and 8 months in 1958, 66 and 10 months in 1959, and 67 for anyone born after 1960.

Know the income limitation rule If you elect to take benefits before your full retirement age, please make sure you’re aware of the income limitation rule on earned income as it relates to benefits possibly being withheld.

In 2014, $1 of benefits will be withheld for every $2 in earnings above $15,480. This rule is applicable every year until your reach full retirement age and can change each year. It is imperative to take this rule into consideration because the benefits you were expecting could be dramatically reduced.

You get bigger checks if you delay claiming You can increase your Social Security checks by delaying when you sign up for Social Security.

For example, people born in 1943 or later will get 8 percent larger payments for each year they

delay claiming after their full retirement age, up to age 70. After age 70, there is no additional benefit to delaying claiming Social Security. Subsequently, your benefits could be reduced by as much as 25 percent if you elect to take them at 62 versus your full retirement age.

Married couples have additional options Married couples are entitled to claim Social Security based on their own work record, or payments worth up to 50 percent of the higher earner’s benefit. And when one spouse dies, the surviving spouse will receive an amount equal to the higher earner’s benefit. Ex-spouses are also eligible for Social Security benefits if the marriage lasted at least 10 years. Couples who have reached their full retirement age can even claim spousal payments, and then later switch to payments based on their own work record, which will then be higher due to delayed claiming.

Claiming spousal benefits, including file and suspend and claim now, claim later strategies can be really tricky, so please research your options carefully before electing your benefits.

Payments are adjusted for inflation Social Security payments are adjusted each year to keep up with inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. These cost of living adjustments will vary from year to year, so please pay close attention to how inflation can potentially impact your future benefits.

Social Security benefits may be taxed Unfortunately, there really isn’t a way to get completely away from paying taxes to Uncle Sam. Please work with a competent professional to help you understand if your Social Security payments will be taxed.

View your Social Security statement online The Social Security Administration has stopped mailing paper Social Security statements to most workers due to budgetary restrictions. If you want to view your complete earnings history, taxes paid into the system and get a personalized estimate of your expected payments, you’ll need to create a Social Security online account and log in to view your statement. You can do this by visiting www.ssa.gov. It’s a good idea to periodically check your statement to make sure your information is being recorded correctly and to make decisions about when to claim Social Security.

In 1887, 300 French writers and artists signed a petition demanding that erection “of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower” travel be halted immediately. What the petitioners called “a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack” has become a beloved symbol of Paris, each year attracting almost seven million visitors, more than any other paid monument in the world.

The Eiffel Tower is named for Gustave Eiffel, a French engineer who gained fame in 1880 for his innovative design for an iron truss skeleton for the Statue of Liberty, replacing the planned masonry core. Maurice Koechlin, a member of Eiffel’s firm who worked on that design, learned of a need for an entrance arch near the left bank of the Seine for a world’s fair commemorating the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. He and colleague Émile Nouguiera proposed an iron lattice arch extending into a tower 300 meters high, far taller than any man-made structure.

Initially lukewarm, Eiffel eventually championed the idea of showing the capabilities of iron for very tall structures. His firm’s design, enhanced by architect Émile Nouguiera, was se-

lected in 1886. When the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889, it nearly doubled the height of the Washington Monument, built entirely of stone.

As originally approved, the Eiffel Tower was to be disassembled after 20 years and its 7,300 tons of iron and 2.5 million rivets sold as scrap.

But Gustave Eiffel had other ideas. Soon after the tower’s opening, he began inviting scientists to use it for experiments requiring great heights.

In 1919, as the permit was to expire, antennae atop the tower began sending radio signals throughout France and the Eiffel Tower earned a permanent place in the Parisian skyline.

The Eiffel Tower remained the world’s tallest man-made structure until the Chrysler Building surpassed it in 1930, incorporating a steel skeleton pioneered by William Le Baron Jenney, an engineering classmate of Gustave Eiffel in Paris.

Today, thanks to Eiffel and his classmate, no one would think of building a tall structure without the “hateful column of bolted sheet metal” disparaged by Eiffel’s nineteenth century critics.

Cosmetic kitchen upgrade lowers project budget

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING KITCHEN: This home, in the Hamilton Proper development in Fishers, was built in 1994. For about two blueprint for years, the owners have improvement wanted to remodel their original kitchen. The existing cabinets were still in good shape – but the rest of the kitchen seemed outdated.

The original white Corian countertops were showing their age and the appliances were outdated. The owners wanted to update without spending as much money as a full remodel requires. The existing layout of the kitchen worked well, so the focus became cosmetic upgrades.

COUNTERTOP AND BACKSPLASH AREA: The rich colors of the Uba Tuba granite and the coordinating Baoding Creme Quartz Brick backsplash tile contrast nicely with the existing white cabinetry. Carrying the backsplash tile up to the ceiling behind the range hood added to the visual interest.

CABINET MODIFICATIONS: The old appliances were replaced with new coordinating stainless steel appliances. Existing wall cabinets above the gas range had to be removed to make way for the new wall-mounted vent hood. The existing double oven cabinet opening was also modified to accept the new ovens.

PLUMBING FIXTURES & HARDWARE: The existing plumbing fixtures were replaced in-

before & after

cluding new Kraus brand 33-inch double bowl undermount stainless steel sink with a new Kohler single handle faucet and matching soap dispenser. All new fixtures were done in brushed nickel. New brushed nickel cabinet knobs were installed to provide a cohesive look with the rest of the kitchen.

RESULT: In the end, the homeowners certainly achieved the modern look they had been dreaming of without making dramatic changes to the cabinetry or footprint of the kitchen. The upgraded granite countertops, warm colored tiled backsplash, coordinating plumbing fixtures and hardware came together to create a kitchen worthy of this beautiful home.
