Knock-down event a success

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com With each pin knocked down, bowlers were raising money to help provide nutritional meals to Hamilton County residents Fundraiser during the 13th Annual “Strike Out Hunger” Bowl-A-Thon. The Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County event was held Aug. 18 at Coopers Stardust Bowl, 845 Westfield Rd., Noblesville.

Executive Director Beth Gehlhausen said the event raised $12,000 – twice as much as last year’s bowl-a-thon.

“That’s pretty good for this event,” she said. “We had better attendance this year.”

Twenty-six teams participated in the event and Harbour Manner/The Lodge won with a top score of 2,568 and Sheridan Rehab came in second with a score of 2,399.

“The two are almost rivals. The traveling trophy has gone back and forth for a couple of years,” Gehlhausen said.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the SponsorA-Senior Program which provides financial assistance to those who otherwise would not be able to receive a nutritious meal. Meal service focuses on reducing hunger, improving health, and promoting independence in Hamilton County.

“It’s essential we have events such as this to meet the needs of our community,” Gehlhausen said.

ON THE WEB

Sandy WeWora, Meals on Wheels Hamilton County director of client services and special events, left, hands Melissa Brisco a $100 Visa gift card for being the top fundraiser.

Gehlhausen said MOWHC provided 55,000 meals to 372 people in 2012. She said those numbers are on track for the first half of 2013 as approximately 27,000 meals have been provided to 183 people a month.

Gehlhausen said 60 percent of MOWHC clients fully pay for their meals, which cost $6. Delivered by volunteers Monday through Friday, hot meals include a vegetable, fruit, starch, protein, desert and beverage. A second “sandwich meal” also is available.

Thanking a veteran – Hamilton County Professional Fire Fighters Local 4416 will have four members participating in Honor Flight, a program that sends World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. for a day to visit their memorial. These members will act as a “Guardian” to the veterans on the trip. An important aspect of the trip is the Homecoming where the veterans receive a Hero’s Welcome and letters. If you could take a moment of your time to write a simple thank you letter to one of these four veterans, email Jim Butts at jbutts@L4416.org for the names of these American Heroes.

Jan’s Pizza wins big

news@currentinwestfield.com

Thirty-six pizzerias competed for the coveted title “Best Pizza in the Mid-West,” but it was Westfield’s own Jan’s Vilachievement lage Pizza bringing home the prize.

“It all started with our 15th Annual Pizza BakeOff on Aug. 5. The winning pizza was created by Michelle Thomas, of the Westfield’s pizzeria. We put it on the menu and Michelle won $100, and she named her pie, ‘The Mediterranean,’” Steve Miller, owner of Jan’s Village Pizza, said.

Jan’s Manager Garry Brush accompanied the Millers to the Presto Food show and, along with Jan, made the four pies for the contest.

“When trying to decide on which pie should go to the Midwest Pizza Challenge, Garry and I chose the Mediterranean,” Janice Miller said.

Upon receiving the honor, one of the judges told Jan’s representatives that at the end of the first round of voting, The Mediterranean had the highest score ever for the Midwest Pizza Challenge. The high scoring continued in the second round. The prize includes airfare, rooms, accommodations and entrance into the 2014 International Pizza Expo where Jan’s Village Pizza will compete to win best pizza in the nation.

“When we win ‘Best Pizza in North America’ then it’s off to Italy to win best in the world,” Jan

161st Street ramp open – INDOT contractor Rieth-Riley Construction has opened the new U.S. 31 interchange at 161st Street, which closed in April to allow crews to construct a new bridge and ramp system with roundabouts controlling ramp and cross traffic on 161st Street. Access to and from U.S. 31 via the new ramp system and roundabouts on 161st Street are now open, but 161st Street west of Farr Hills Drive will remain closed while the city continues to improve the intersection with the Monon Trail by creating a more pedestrian-friendly crossing. Work is expected to be completed by Oct. 20. “The closure of 161st Street allows the city to complete installation of infrastructure for a future Monon tunnel crossing at a reduced cost with limited traffic interruption,” mayor Andy Cook said. The new 161st Street interchange is part of a $58-million contract to upgrade U.S. 31 to freeway standards north of 146th Street to south of 169th Street. The project includes new ramps to connect 146th Street to the north with Greyhound Pass and 151st Street with a “split-diamond” interchange.

Andréa Eppley always knew she’d own horses, she just didn’t know they’d be from Norway

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Andréa Eppley began equestrienne pursuits as a child. When she turned 30, Eppley was single and financially in cover story a good place so she purchased her first horse.

“I was going to have a horse, regardless,” she said. “I dreamed about it since I was a little girl.”

One horse lead to a second, which led to a third. After marrying her husband, Barry, the couple started adding even more horses to their stable. Eppley said her husband is “not a horse person at all.”

With Norway as one of his favorite destinations, Barry liked the Norwegian Fjord horse.

“It’s a little unique, like a giant stuffed animal,” Andréa said. “He made the decision for me, but I didn’t need a lot of pushing.”

And that decision led to Silver Drache Farm, the couple’s Norwegian Fjord horse stable.

The Norwegian Fjord horse is one of the world’s oldest and purest breeds of equine. She said excavations at ancient Viking burial sites indicate that the Fjord has been selectively bred for at least 2,000 years. Unlike thoroughbreds, Fjords are cold-blooded and built for strength, not speed.

“They get their claim to fame because they are so versatile. They are

Vidar steady in terms of temperament, less spooky.

It’s very unusual you come across one real fiery or reactive,” she said, adding the animals are handled by amateurs to professionals. “They’re far safer than average horses. They’ll let you make a lot of mistakes.”

Eppley’s breeding stock was acquired from Sorum Fjord Farm, one of the premier Fjord farms in North America. The two-time Horse of the Year in Denmark is the sire of Vidar, one of Eppley’s two Fjord stallions. Vidar recently was the sire of Siri, who was born on March 7.

“I believe it is the first Fjord born in Westfield,” Eppley said. “There’s only a couple born in this country.”

Eppley said the goal of Silver Drache Farm is to breed one to two purebred animals a year.

“I don’t ever want to breed a large number because of space. The quality of care they receive here is unparalleled. I never want to shortchange one horse to care for another,” she said.

Eppley has shown each of her horses and has four that are actively being shown.

“It’s a lifestyle. That’s the best way for me to sum it up. There’s always something going

on,” she said. “Whether it is three below or 105, it doesn’t matter. It is a constant job, a labor of love.”

This year, she made the decision to commit more funds to training instead of traveling. Eppley said lessons cost $60 to $130 for 45 minutes. The average horse show costs $1,000 after traveling, hotel, boarding and additional fees.

“That’s a lot of training,” Eppley said. “We try to go to one or two (shows) a month. I like to stay within the four-hour mark. Anything further than that takes a little planning.”

Eppley said the hardest part of running a horse farm also provides a great benefit.

“It is a physical job. There have been times when I’ve had minor injuries where I realized if I had broken any bones it would be difficult to do many tasks because so many things are heavy,” she said. “I don’t spend a lot of time working out besides yoga.”

To house their growing stable, which is now at seven horses, the couple purchased Silver Drache Farm on the west boundary of Westfield.

The 11 acres was a tree farm with more than 400 trees when it was purchased in 2006. After removing the saplings, Silver Drache Farm had six oversized stalls, outdoor areas for grazing and running, and an indoor arena built. Eppley said the farm is in the process of building an outdoor arena.

“It’s getting harder and harder to keep small farms from the developers,” she said. “I think it’s critical that small farms like this are encouraged to succeed because there aren’t many of us left. Hamilton County’s roots are agricultural.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP Civic lineup has something for all

Stress eating, Hoosier style It is our position that the latest obesity study indicates that life in the Hoosier state may be a little too cushy for some Baby Boomers. In the annual “F as in Fat” report by the Trust for America’s Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Hoosiers ages 45 to 64 have a 37 percent obesity rate, ranking seventh worst in the nation. Indiana’s adult obesity rate is 31.4 percent, ranking eighth highest in the nation, the same ranking as last year. Some may say obese Hoosiers have reached a plateau, only it’s not the right kind of plateau attributed to weight loss coming to a standstill as the result of adhering to a weight loss plan.

It appears that the Hoosier sandwich generation may be enjoying a few too many pork tenderloins and extra-large pieces of sugar cream pie. Let’s face it, for most, living a consistently healthy life-style is hard, especially for those that are under stress and have hurried schedules due to simultaneously raising children, holding down jobs and caring for aging parents. In reality, sedentary vocations, the frenetic pace and expectations of modern life and the skyrocketing cost of living are enough to drive anyone to the pantry.

Order your own Commentary by Terry Anker Each year, our boys and I scout the local merchants seeking just the right item for their mother’s and grandmother’s birthdays and Christmas. With the passage of time, we have seen thoughtful, almost obsessive, attention to the task – while other years required considerable effort on my part to remind them of the joy of giving. One year found us at an establishment that carried a stunning array of perfumed candles. Excited that we’d arrived at the point that our kids were taking notice of their mother’s interests (previous years they’d suggested that Mom might like toys – if she didn’t, they would happily play with them for her), we indulged in an hour sampling each scent from lavender to theater popcorn (the ultimate choices). Without missing a beat, these wise women rewarded the effort made by the fledgling gift-givers. The gift of time, and caring, was far more important than the meager present.

While we may respect and admire the dedi-

cation of thoughtful givers, life has squeezed time to the point that we are most likely to stockpile a go-to present for dinner party hosts and business colleagues. It has to be something tasteful, to be sure. It should also represent the things that connect us – not those that divide.

Ideally, this universal donor of gifts might remind the receiver time and again of the friend who shared it. I’ve found such a gift in the Indiana Humanities publication “Food for Thought: An Indiana Harvest.” It tells the story of individual people and their personal connection with food. It inspires those who read it to consider and share their own stories. How could a book do more? And if you invite me over for dinner you might get a copy! Easier still, order one of your own.

The curtain is about to go up on Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s season at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts. And, as has been the case the previous two seasons since Civic relocated from Indianapolis, we’re thrilled to be a main-stage sponsor of the season. Founded in 1915, it now is under the proficient management of Executive Director Cheri Dick and Artistic Director Bob Sorbera. The principal resident company of the 500-seat theatre will produce “Pippin” (Sept. 6-21), “Schoolhouse Rock Live” (Sept. 2528), “1940s Radio Hour” (Oct. 25-Nov. 9), “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” (Dec. 13-Jan. 4), “Steel Magnolias” (Feb. 7-22) and “The Cat in the Hat” (Feb. 25-March 2). We’re certain it will be a season to remember, because that’s exactly what Civic always delivers. It’s not too soon to buy season or single-show tickets. You may do so at www.civictheatre. org or 843-3800.

••• As you may know by now, INDOT has opened the U.S. 31 interchange at 161st Street, and it has shown itself to be a wonderful harbinger of what the project holds for our city.

Rieth-Riley Construction oversaw the replacement of the former intersection, which was closed in April to allow crews to construct a new bridge-and-ramp system with roundabouts. We’re big fans of the improvements – especially the roundabouts that keep traffic flowing - and believe we all can expect much the same innovation with the rest of the project in Westfield and points north and south.

Time to interview the parents Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Well, I’ve gone and done it now. I am bawling my eyes out after having finally watched a video of my paternal grandmother humor sharing her memories. I say finally because Nanny died in 2006, and I received the DVD the following Christmas. You’d think that after seven years I would be able to get through the thing without losing my fashizzite, but no dice thanks to the stupid melancholy background music with lyrics like “Where are you, Claire?” Yes, her name was Claire.

Actually, I had forgotten I owned the thing until my daughter was looking for a lost Hello Kitty wallet (with a whole $11 in it, thank you very much!). She pulled out the case and asked “Who’s this old lady?” When I told her, she had to clarify “Is this Granny, Nanny or Mamaw Johmann?” [All three grandmas passed within a couple of years of each other, and she has vague recollections of each.] “Cool! Nanny was in a movie?” [I wish! She totally could have played a Hogwarts’ professor.]

I explained how my aunt had hired a woman to interview her and record her life stories.

So this morning, having been rudely awakened early by the cat, I decided to visit with my favorite British grandmother. She mostly told tales of wartime England, some I’d heard before but some that were new. Like the day she walked two miles uphill in the snow (both ways) to get to a hospital for a monkey bite to her shin.

Classic Nanny. I laughed through most of this portion, remembering her constant tea drinking (with lots of milk and sugar) and penchant for exaggeration.

But seeing the old black and white photographs of her and my grandfather, some with my uncle and my father as young children, brought forth so many questions. How did my grandparents meet? Was my grandfather present at my dad’s birth? Where was the house where she was sheltered from German bombings in London? Now that Nanny’s gone, I may never know the answers. And that’s what upset me most.

I may not have that much time left with my own parents, and yet I rarely take advantage of the fact that they still have much to tell. Why haven’t my sisters and I recorded their stories, too? I miss Nanny, but she led a long, mostly happy life. Still, I’d give anything for one more afternoon with her. So I’ll channel my tears into something productive, and make the time to “interview” mom and dad. I’m not sure they can compete with World War II monkey attacks, but at least their grandchildren will have something that they can always remember them by. Peace out.

Was that you or I?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I created quite a stir at the Unitarian Church last Sunday. Mary Ellen was embarrassed when she first heard it. The entire conhumor gregation was starting to look in my general direction. Noelle started elbowing her husband. She thought Dan was the instigator. Dan was almost 100 percent sure it wasn’t him. Spouses were poking each other and some of the kids were giggling. My wife thought I should excuse myself from the sanctuary.

Was that my stomach growling?

No one has this identification problem with other bodily eruptions. Everyone clearly knows who the originator is – although with one sound in particular (and its result) there is usually blame-shifting that unfairly maligns the family dog. But with things like sneezing, hiccupping, and coughing, it’s seldom an issue.

I’ll admit that I do have loud internal plumbing.

Each week, I record a version of this newspaper column for broadcast on the local public radio station. Scott Hoke, my producer, listens through his headset during the recording session to ensure the audio is top quality. “Let’s do that last line over again, Dick. I just heard WFYI’s sewer back up. Or was that your stomach?”

The technical name for a grumbling stomach is borborygmi. The term comes from the Greek word borborugmos. The dictionary says this is an example of onomatopoeia, a word that imitates

the sound associated with something. Yes, just like the Anglo-Saxon term bowwow accurately mimics the noise your Rottweiler makes, the Greeks nailed it with boborgymi.

Now, before you start googling (which is also medical jargon for what my stomach is doing), I have already looked up this symptom, and I am now aware that stomach rumbling is one indication of about 35 different illnesses, including uremia, mesenteric ischemia, aerophagia and functional dyspepsia – none of which I had ever heard of. When your insides churn noisily, your brain is sending a message to your gut to prepare for a meal. As one medical site notes, your belly is saying: “Hungry. No food here; must eat soon.” Why do stomachs sound like Tonto talking to the Lone Ranger?

Apparently, your intestines are always growling, says another expert, but when you have eaten, you are less likely to hear them.

I’ve been at my computer writing this column all afternoon and my wife just sent me an email saying she had a tough day and wants to go out for a quiet dinner. I hated to tell her, but that wasn’t going to happen. Not when I’m this hungry.

What’s it take to get on a truck?

Commentary by Mike Redmond

Custody Child Support Prenuptial Agreements Adoptions Education Law

So, I’m driving down the interstate and what do I see barreling along beside me?

A semi-trailer bearing a larger humor than life image of … wait for it …

Kim Kardashian.

Yes, THAT Kim Kardashian. Reality show Kim Kardashian. Sex tape Kim Kardashian. Baby with Kanye West Kim Kardashian.

And now, on the side of a semi Kim Kardashian.

I guess the semi was full of perfume that she had something to do with – as in, she let someone use her name to sell it. I seriously doubt Kim donned a lab coat and went to work concocting a fragrance. For one thing, she’s not accustomed to work. Or wearing that much clothing.

This means that getting herself on the side of a truck may have been the greatest expression ever of someone being famous for being famous.

Think about it. Getting a reality show is no big deal anymore. If those junkyard goobers down in Southern Indiana can get one, the newly minted “Porter Ridge” show, chances are you can, too.

Heck, even as I speak there are about three filming right here on my block. All you need is to be from somewhere the reality-TV executroids have never been (Indiana) and be the type that people on the left and right coasts enjoy feeling superior to (anyone who lives between New York and

Los Angeles) and presto. You, too, can be a star.

Oh, and for those of you considering this as a career move: It helps if you speak like a complete moron, have a beard that looks like a worn-out broom, never wear a shirt and live in a world of rattletrap pickup trucks and bony dogs. Unless you are a woman, in which case the beard is optional and the shirt is, too, depending on the channel.

So let’s say you’ve decided to follow your dream to be famous for no good reason. Congratulations, but you’re not exactly blazing a trail here. This is nothing new … if you can remember TV game shows from the 1960s and 1970s, you surely can think of a few panelists whose presence meant nothing to you. I remember being absolutely mystified by Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall. Later I came to find out they actually had show business careers other than being on the Match Game. Who knew?

But back to Kim Kardashian and the truck. It takes a special kind of celebrity juice to get yourself on the side of a semi. Which is appropriate when you consider that the next truck I passed was painted with a big picture of Red Gold tomato products.

Forget the burgers: Clambake, anyone?

Commentary by Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com

Labor Day reminds us that summer is coming to a close. It’s the symbolic last hurrah in the backyard – the time to relish the shade that the leaves on our trees can provide one more time, labor day because the next thing we know we’ll be wearing our fleeces and raking them.

So why not throw a party? Maybe you’ve been meaning to have your neighbors over for a cookout all summer. But a Labor Day party doesn’t have to mean burgers on the grill, and it doesn’t have to mean buying all the red, white and blue decorations you can find at the party goods store.

It could be a little more creative…

Since Hamilton County is lovingly referred to as the “Hamptons of the Midwest,” why not bring the Hamptons to your backyard? Why not be the “Barefoot Contessa” of your neighborhood? Let’s import a little East Coast style this Labor Day. Here are some ideas: Menu: You’re probably not interested in digging a big hole in your backyard to do a proper clambake. But, you could create a menu that embodies the spirit of a clambake, such as: • Lobster or crab sliders with lemon aioli • Cioppino (Seafood stew) • Chunks of seasoned, oven-roasted sweet corn and red potatoes • Grilled crusty loaves of bread rubbed with olive oil and fresh garlic, sprinkled with sea salt And we’ve all had plenty of watermelon this summer, but it doesn’t have to just be cut in wedges. Consider a watermelon gazpacho or salad of watermelon, crumbled feta and mint finished with reduced balsamic vinegar.

For dessert, there’s nothing better (or easier) than a fresh fruit crisp warm from the oven with a scoop of good quality gelato (home-made ice cream is even better if someone in your family is so inclined!)

Hollowed and stuffed cherry tomatoes make a quick and festive appetizer (and one the kids can help do).

Drinks: Cape Codders are an obvious choice. Electric Blue Lemonades will match the décor. And the citrusy tang of frozen orange-bourbon slush is a perfect complement to seafood. Premix any of these and have them ready for self-serve as your guests arrive. Use aluminum tubs filled with ice for soft drinks and bottled water and white wine.

Décor: First of all, forget the red, white and blue. We did that in July.

What about just the cool simplicity of cobalt blue and white, set off by rustic aluminum? It fits the breezy, beachy feel, and it’s inexpensive, too.

A nice blue background set off by repurposed large and small aluminum cans or mason jars filled with white daisies sets a gorgeous stage. Go to the fabric store and look for a cobalt blue and white print fabric; you’ll need three yards to cover a 6-foot banquet table. You can also use mason jars to hold utensils, napkins and candles, or use them to serve gazpacho, drinks or dessert. Scatter seashells or sand dollars on the buffet.

White Christmas lights in the trees, around the deck or on your buffet table will complete your look, and create a warm feel when the sun goes down. If you have a fire pit, use it!

Activity: Croquet is the perfect game to round out an East Coast evening, and it’s fun for grown-ups and kids alike.

Enjoy!

All of our menu items suggested here are easy to make ahead, so that when your guests arrive you can relax with them instead of spending your Labor Day laboring over a hot grill. Cheers.

Don’t forget about food safety Commentary by Joe Drozda with Bob Bley It feels like the season is changing, doesn’t it?

Just lay back on your chaise lounge and look way up into the tree tops and you’ll notice an active, leaf-moving breeze that wasn’t there during those heavy, humid summer “dog days.” The nights and mornings are cooler, and it’s evident that fall is finally approaching to give us relief. The spent fields and brown roadsides have given us all they have for this year; now we can look forward to the change of season and the fall colors.

These days, fall brings more than pretty leaves - it brings football and tailgating. There’s high school, college and our favorite pro football team that are starting their seasons and realizing a need to be more and more into their fans’ tailgating experience.

After all, tailgate parties are America’s chance to eat rich foods that add to the game night/day experience.

They provide a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere to socialize with friends.

We should add that they are relaxing and enjoyable if you follow a few simple food safety rules to keep your guests from experiencing problems.

To find out hhow to keep your guest healthy throughout your tailgating season and a recipe for heart-healthy stuffed mushrooms visit www.currentnightandday.com

Indianapolis City Ballet to feature special guest – Indiana Ballet Conservatory has announced that Miko Fogarty, star of the movie “First Position” and gold medal winner of the Moscow International Ballet Competition this year, has been invited to dance in Indianapolis City Ballet’s “Evening with the Stars” on Sept.7 at the Old National Centre.

Fogarty was born in England and has lived in California until she moved to Carmel in April at the invitation of guest Master Instructor/Coach Alexei Moskalenko. Moskalenko, a former Bolshoi ballet dancer, assured Fogarty and her mom that he could assemble the best Russian team of trainers to include Tatiana Pali, Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, and himself. Since locating to Carmel, she has been training exclusively with IBC’s Founding Artistic Director, Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, Academy Principal, Tatiana Pali and Moskalenko. She has been invited to perform in numerous international ballet galas and now is making a special appearance at the invitation of Indianapolis City Ballet.

Ingredients: 12 ounces sour cream cheese, softened; 1 (8 ounce) package shredded cheddar cheese; 1 tablespoon bacon bits; 12 ounces jalapeño peppers, seeded and halved; 1 cup milk; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1 cup dry bread crumbs; 2 quarts oil for frying Directions: In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Spoon this mixture into the jalapeño pepper halves. Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapeños first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapeños to dry for about 10 minutes. Dip the jalapeños in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeño is coated. In a medium skillet, heat the oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Deep fry the coated jalapeños 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

Basic skin care prevention

Commentary by Barry Eppley

Q: I am a 63-year-old female who recently had a facelift. Because I am thin, I really had no fat just loose skin in aesthetics the neck and jowls. Now that I have gotten the skin tightened, how can I keep the facelift in place? I have read about a lot of things such as Thermage, Ultherapy and others and, while they sound good in theory, I have read that they don’t work for a lot of people. Some have said that the only really effective method of skin tightening is through collagen regeneration using a fully ablative CO2 laser. But laser resurfacing of the face can be associated with longterm pinkness of the skin. What do you recommend?

A: The reality is that nothing can keep a facelift ‘in place’ forever as surgery does not stop the effects of time and gravity. But there are

certainly things to do to help slow down the process and make the results of a facelift last longer. Skin tightening and collagen rebuilding would be the correct approach after a facelift and, for many, should be considered maintenance therapies. There are numerous energybased devices for skin tightening and you have named a few of the most well known. I do think they have some benefit even if it is not the same for every patient. Light laser resurfacing also is a good choice and can be done with the other skin tightening treatments. And don’t forget such basic preventative measures for skin aging which include avoidance of excessive sun exposure, no smoking, a stable weight and a good daily skin treatment regimen.

Are umbrella policies worth it?

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from John H. from Carmel: What’s the deal with umbrella policies? It just seems like an added cost, but my agent Insurance suggests I add one every year.

Response from Jamie Ianigro: You are right to say that an umbrella policy is an added cost, but it is well-worth that cost for the additional protection it provides. I always encourage my clients to at least consider adding the extra layer of liability protection that an umbrella/catastrophe policy will add. An umbrella policy is really all about having the peace of mind in knowing that your family and assets are protected.

There are many ways to end up with an umbrella claim but the most common umbrella claim is an auto accident involving multiple injuries and very costly medical bills. The other common claim is an incident on your property that results in injury. Medical and legal costs can eat up the underlying limits of your homeowner, auto, boat or motorcycle policy pretty quickly. Your umbrella policy or your personal assets cover these costs when your policy limits are exhausted.

This is definitely a topic you should discuss with your independent insurance agent to make sure you are protected by a level of coverage

that you are comfortable with. Most people should be pretty comfortable with a coverage limit of $1 million, but limits more than $10 million are available if you are looking for more.

I don’t want to say that umbrella claims are unpreventable because they are the type of claims that happen no matter how prepared you are. There are some things that make a claim more likely, such as having a pool, living on a lake, having a young driver or owning a boat/ATV/ snow mobile (basically anything fun).

A quick claim scenario… The son of a policy holder was driving his car on a short road trip with a friend, the claimant. The car drifted off the road and into a phone pole when the son fell asleep at the wheel. The passenger was hospitalized for more than a month with broken bones and internal injuries. The hospitalization was followed by some time in a wheelchair, but he was able to walk again after six months of physical therapy. This claim cost $800,000 with $300,000 coming from the auto limits and $500,000 coming from the umbrella limits.

Try not to look ‘very forward’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “My pet peeve is the misplacement of “very” in the heightening of the phrase ‘I am grammar guy looking forward to it.’ As far as I am concerned, the only way to make this stronger is to say, ‘I am looking forward to it very much,’ or, ‘I am very much looking forward to it.’ But some folks seem to think this is too ‘much of a muchness’ and say, “I am looking very forward to it,” (as opposed to looking backward to it?) or even, ‘I am very looking forward to it.’ The former comes up in my circle more often than the latter. The minute I hear ‘I am looking very forward to it,’ I stop looking forward to it at all.” (Alison Brown) Answer: I have to say, I agree with you, Alison. That is a very odd construction your friends have there.

This is a perfect example of a grammar problem we talked about a few weeks ago: misplaced modifiers.

When I hear the phrase “looking very forward,” I picture someone standing on their tiptoes, their upper body leaning forward, almost mimicking the classic stance of the hunter’s pointing dog. Or, maybe Wiley Coyote, overextended over the cliff, moments before he realizes the

Road Runner’s got his goat again. I suppose “looking very forward” could also mean dressing in a provocative manner … but I’m the last person who should be making fashion calls.

Since “very forward” is at best a comical stance, and at worst deserving of a lecture from your grandma, and “very looking” just doesn’t make any sense (“Verily looking,” however, has a nice, Shakespearean vibe to it), we’re left to conclude that “very” is intended to intensify “much.” And, since we concluded just a few columns ago that modifiers should be placed as humanly close as possible to what they modify, so as to avoid any possible confusion, “very” and “much” should be stuck to one another like glue.

So, good news this week, Alison: You’re right on the money with this one. Bad news: I’ve got no advice on how to get your friends off their wayward grammar path. Perhaps suggest their modifiers are a bit … disordered. Tell them the Grammar Guy said so. Verily.

BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY We use our muscles in everything we do. The act of standing still takes about 300 muscles alone, so imagine how many we put to use once our bodies are in motion. Just as we take measures to protect our heart health, our digestive health and even our skin, our muscles need protecting as well. Regular exercise along with proper stretching will go a long way in keeping our muscles active and healthy, but a massage by a trained and experienced massage therapist can give your muscular system a boost that you won’t find on any treadmill or weight bench.

Salon 01’s licensed massage therapist, Anthony Leyden, has always been passionate about his work, and throughout his time in this industry, he has watched hundreds of clients reap the benefits of regular therapeutic massages.

Anthony combines techniques from Swedish massage, reflexology and deep tissue depending on your specific needs. Call Salon 01 at 317-580-0101 to schedule your massage.

NEW ADVANCEMENT IN SKINCARE We have seen ads and commercials by all the leading drug store manufacturers for sonic facial cleansing brushes.

We have had excellent feedback from clients and staff alike who will never go a day again without using their Clarisonic. Don’t be fooled by copy cats that can actually irritate the skin over time! Stop in Salon 01 to learn more about this revolutionary skin cleansing and rejuvenating system today!

MYTH BUSTERS We researched the following myths for you!

Myth #1: A cold rinse adds shine and tames frizz.

True. A blast of cold water at the end of your shower can make your hair appear shinier and smoother because it closes the cuticle.

Myth #2: Hair can become immune to shampoo.

False. Shampoo will always do its job. The trick is to get the right shampoo for your hair type and styling needs. Consult with a Salon 01 professional for a recommendation that is right for you.

Myth #3: Brushing your hair often makes it healthier.

False. Over-brushing your hair can actually dull it by destroying the cuticle as well as cause split ends and breakage.

Fresh eyes.

Often, that’s what anxious homeowner’s hope for. An unbiased opinion. A creative perspective. And, thoughts on how to outdoors transform a stale backyard living space or add energy to a tired landscape. Or energy for how we live.

It helps if an adviser’s perspective is not prejudiced by an area of specialty. A firm that just builds decks or pours concrete will likely guide its clients to do the obvious.

The “fresh eyes” perspective will deliver a balanced approach that trends toward your likes and preferences. Rarely does a homeowner know precisely what they are looking for, it’s usually the opposite. Our responsibility is to guide.

Smashed fingers. Diesel. Sweat.

This site in the rolling hills near Turkey Run surrounded by God’s best creativity is a tasteful example. The previous deck was decayingly perched over a 30-foot dangerous slope that managed its way toward an updated pool. Another deck was the obvious solution and what we imagined. Yet, as we gratefully wandered the

wooded surroundings, massive boulder outcroppings with rich tones kept emerging.

We wondered how we could marry these historic elements closer to the home and coordinate it with the grade changes required. After a handful of provocative designs, we landed with this blend of earthy flagstone patio spaces transitioned by more than 20 tons of rustic boulder walls merged with native greens. The massive back door stone steps were in 8 feet wide by 4 feet. It challenged our new skid steer. The men loved it. Sweat. Diesel fuel. Smashed fingers.

“Fresh eyes” moved us from what would have worked quite well to something that spoke to the environment. Something that begs for interaction and hopes for engagement. Spaces that are both intimate in feel, yet generous enough to hold the distant family and friends as they descend on a magical retreat, found far off the road.

Never get stale.

Plumbing fixtures are an important design element Commentary by David Decker

Faucets, shower heads and other types of plumbing can make a major impact on the look of your kitchen or bathroom. Between indoors selecting a style, finish and function, there’s a lot to decide on when it comes to picking out plumbing. Fortunately, the Affordable Companies has assembled a plumbing trends overview to help you make a decision.

First, you will want to decide on the color and style of plumbing you’d like to install. It should complete the look of your kitchen or bathroom: not clash with it. In terms of color, faucets and plumbing are available in a variety of finishes including chrome, nickel, brass and gold. Select a finish and use it to coordinate with other accessories in the room (such as drawer hardware or towel holders).

Let’s take a look at popular plumbing options for each room, beginning with the kitchen. Instead of a standard faucet, you should consider installing a pull-out model. These faucets are attached to a moveable cord so that water streams can be moved and directed whenever needed. The sink isn’t the only place in the kitchen were you may need a faucet.

Today, you can run plumbing and water throughout the kitchen in a variety of places. Install a faucet above the stove to fill pans with ease. Or, create a special vegetable peeling cabinet station complete with a garbage disposal.

Now we can give a quick overview of bathroom plumbing options. It’s a good idea to coordinate all of your bathroom faucets with the bathtub and shower faucets for a cohesive design. You’ll also want to consider the functional features of each faucet in your bathroom. A hand shower can be useful for rinsing hair or showering young children. For a relaxing experience, the shower can be equipped with heads that jet water out of the walls or ceiling if you prefer. And if you are concerned about safety, faucets can be equipped with anti-scalding guards so that you don’t have to worry about a family member being burnt by hot water.

Picking out plumbing and faucets can be a lot of fun, especially because you get the opportunity to check out new technologies and innovations. So try not to stress about the abundance of choices. Select pieces that work well for the activities you do most in your home.

Using different shower heads to customize your space can create a unique shower designed to not only clean but relax and pamper as well. (Submitted photo)
