Primary election candidates file despite uncertainties

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Sixteen Zionsville candidates filed to run for office in the May primary by the Feb. 6 deadline, but that’s one of the few certainties heading into the 2015 election season. politics The fact that this is an election year for all seven town council seats is overshadowed by a lawsuit filed by the town of Whitestown attempting to block Zionsville’s reorganization with Perry Township. Depending on which way the court rules will affect whether or not Zionsville has a mayor or clerk/ treasurer position in 2016.

But that didn’t stop three people from filing for those positions, which was required by the deadline regardless of the upcoming court decision.

Current town council member Candace Ulmer and current deputy clerk Amy Lacy have filed for the clerk/treasurer position, and current town council member Tim Haak has filed to run for mayor, even though that position is not officially on the ballot.

All three candidates are aware that they could be running for an office that may not exist, but they are eager to serve Zionsville regardless.

“The voters in Zionsville and Perry Township unanimously voted for reorganization, so I, along with the current town council, am working with the mindset that Zionsville will have its first elected mayor in January, 2016,” said Haak, who has served on the council since 2008. “I hope to be that person, but if the courts don’t rule in Zionsville’s favor there are a number of other ways I can serve the community.”

Ulmer decided to run for clerk-treasurer, a position that will only be up for election if the court sides with Whitestown, to give the voters a say on that position if it still exists.

“Should the court not side with Zionsville, I think it is important that the residents have a voice in choosing their elected officials,” she said.

Lacy has worked in the clerk treasurer’s office for more than 10 years and is currently the deputy clerk. She believes her experience makes her a perfect fit for the clerk-treasurer position but is prepared for the possibility that it may not even be an option.

“My focus has always been and would continue to be – in whatever capacity – to serve the people of Zionsville in the best way possible,” she said.

Whitestown’s lawsuit claims that Zionsville’s reorganization with Perry Township – which voters approved last year – is unlawful. A court ruled in Whitestown’s favor in October 2014, but Zionsville appealed the ruling. In December a judge granted an order requested by Zionsville to expedite the appeal, but it is unclear when a ruling will happen.

In Perry Township, the positions of trustee and members of the township board would be eliminated if the court sides with Zionsville. Elected offices on the ballot in Whitestown will not be affected by the court ruling either way.

ZYAP selects first coordinator

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Andrew Manna had watched closely as the Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program successfully helped coordinate countywide nonprofit programs and services for troubled students. After surveying a variety of Zionsville organizations and finding that they overwhelmingly supported a similar program here, he helped launch the Zionsville Youth Assistance Program.

“We noticed there is a need Manna in Zionsville for mentoring or mental health counseling or family counseling, all those different things that may impact a student’s ability to stay out of trouble and stay in school,” said Manna, president of the ZYAP board.

The young organization recently took a big step forward by selecting Heather Shumaker as its first coordinator. Shumaker also serves as the Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiatives coordinator for Boone County and has experience as a criminal defense attorney for juveniles and adults.

“What really sparked my transition into these new roles was I wanted to make a difference and I felt like I wasn’t doing that as an attorney,” Shumaker said in an e-mail. With ZYAP, we will educate families about community resources and get children plugged into whatever resources they need.”

ZYAP won’t directly offer services for youth in need, rather it serves as a coordinator for the various organizations that do, such as police departments, schools and private companies. The board is currently working on fundraising and hopes the organization will be working with students and families in need by mid-2015. The goal is to provide a helping hand to troubled youth before they end up in the juvenile detention system.

“My hope is to empower children to be their best self — whatever that looks like,” Shumaker said. “We believe that in doing this, we can keep children out of the juvenile justice system as well as the adult system. Perhaps more importantly, we can benefit the community by having stable families and a productive citizenry.”

ZCHS to host suicide prevention meeting for adults Parents will learn about QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer), an evidence-based suicide prevention training program, at 7 p.m. Feb. 17 in the Zionsville Community High School auditorium.

Carlabeth Mathias, a private therapist and former school counselor, and Dr. Amy Rexroth, a psychologist, are conducting the seminar.

“It gives the participants the skills in what to do if someone they know seems to be sad, very depressed and showing signs of suicidal ideation,” Mathias said.

The truth about Adam’s apples Commentary by Ward Degler

Join us for a Cabinet Trends Event Saturday, February 21ST 10:30 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. Carmel 200 S Range Line Rd, Ste 201 (317) 580-0179 Hosted by one of Reese’s own cabinet designers. We will be discussing all new trends in cabinet colors and styles, as well as lighting for cabinets.

FERGUSON.COM ©2015 Ferguson Enterprises, Inc.

We’ve always known that men have Adam’s apples, but women don’t. I think there was even a Sherlock Holmes murder Plain talk case that was solved with that knowledge. You know, some serial killer guy pretending to be a woman.

Unfortunately, it’s not true. Women have Adam’s apples too, they’re just smaller, thus less apparent. For you medical students out there, the Adam’s apple is a chunk of cartilage that is wrapped around the larynx. It is known as the laryngeal prominence.

The reason they are bigger in guys is that men have bigger voice boxes than women and deeper voices. Check out little kids, both boys and girls, and Adam’s apples aren’t apparent.

All that changes when puberty hits and the boys get that first shot of testosterone. That’s when boys get all gangly and their Adam’s apples pop out, giving them a mildly prehistoric look. And their voices alternately squeak and rumble.

As they grow older the hormones subside somewhat and so do the Adam’s apples. Science agrees that Adam’s apples serve no vital physiological function. Like the cartilage in the nose and the ear, it’s just there.

The Adam’s apple does serve one valuable purpose, however. It’s a great lie detector. When we lie, we get nervous and our mouths go dry.

In an attempt to compensate, we swallow a lot

and the Adam’s apple bobs uncontrollably up and down. Obviously, women have the advantage here.

Now that we’ve cleared that up, why is it that men’s shirts have the buttons on the right, and women’s are on the left? I wrestled with that mystery recently at a rummage sale when I tried on a really cool looking jacket only to discover that the buttons weren’t where they were supposed to be.

I tried to look nonchalant amid snickers from several lady shoppers when I took it off. As it turns out, I was only doing research for this column.

The button business harks back to the Victorian Age when the landed gentry relied on servants to assist their daily tasks. Women dressed in multiple layers, and needed help buttoning and unbuttoning their apparel. Since most folks are right handed, dressmakers put the buttons on the left to make it easier for the maid to help Milady dress and undress.

I have learned a couple lessons from all of this. First, I will definitely tell the truth from now on, and, second, I will stay away from rummage sales.

Zionsville school tax rate drops

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Property taxes are on their way down for people who live in the Zionsville school district.

The tax rate will decrease by finance 22.5 cents thanks in large part to an increase in assessed property values and refinancing of debt in 2014.

Mike Shafer, chief financial officer for Zionsville Community Schools, announced the news at the Feb. 9 school board meeting. The district learned of the lower rate earlier this month through an annual notice that is released in advance of the state’s final budget order, the last step in a budgeting process that began last fall. The rate became effective Feb. 13.

School board members said they expected the tax rate to drop but were surprised by the amount.

“I don’t think anyone, at least on the [school] board, would’ve expected quite that significant of a savings,” said Shari Alexander Richey, school board president.

The school district tax rate will go from about $1.59 to $1.37 per $100 of assessed value. For a business with an assessed property value of $550,000, that means a savings of about $1,239.

Residential property owners are expected to see savings as well, although the final amount is more difficult to determine because of various factors such as deductions and caps.

Assessed property values within the school district increased 8.1 percent for 2015, the largest jump since 2001. This, combined with the 2014 refinancing, led to perfect conditions for a lower tax rate, Shafer said.

“Those two great events just happened to converge for us … at just the right time to maximize our results,” he said.

Representing ZCHS in the Gold Key Awards are: Brooke Alter, Megan Hallam and Samantha Robbins. In the Silver Key Awards are: Jade Blevins, Samantha Robbins and Alexis Turner.

ISTEP+ is shorter than expected, but still long for Indiana kids

By Zach Manges and Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Indiana students may be seeing some major changes to their ISTEP+ tests this year, though they may not be filling in as many bubbles with heavy dark marks as initially Cover story planned.

The 2015 ISTEP+ test, to be administered to more than 400,000 students in grades three through eight, was originally expected to undergo changes that would have lengthened the exam by as much as seven hours, more than doubling its size from previous years.

That news prompted an outcry from parents across Indiana, including Nancy Genatiempo of Zionsville. She has a third-grade son at Boone Meadow

COMMUNITY

Elementary set to take the test for the 2014 Online/Paper 2015 Online/Paper Change in Total Time first time.

Grade Operational Total Time Operational Total Time from 2014 to 2015 “I feel that his teachers have all prepared him well for an exam, but the 3 5 hours, 9 minutes 12 hours, 30 minutes 7 hours, 21 minutes stamina for this test is unrealistic. He is a 9-year-old boy. I’m sure at some point 4 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 55 minutes 6 hours, 46 minutes he may just give up and mark anything 5 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 32 minutes 6 hours, 23 minutes to be done,” she said. “This is an unrealistic snapshot of what he knows. This 6 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 40 minutes 6 hours, 31 minutes hurts his scores, his teacher’s evaluation and the school’s and district’s grade.”

7 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 47 minutes 6 hours, 38 minutes Andy Lamaster, a Zionsville resident 8 5 hours, 9 minutes 11 hours, 15 minutes 6 hours, 6 minutes and teacher at Lawrence Central High School, said that he’s already seen the impact of the changes in his classroom, and it hasn’t been good. they are making the whole spring ISTEP+ a pilot. That means they “I see firsthand the stress and anxiety many students face,” he will determine which questions will apply to the student’s score said. “A common question they ask is ‘What’s going to happen to after they grade the results,” stated Marc Lotter, director of exterme if I fail this test?’ There is a sense of failure, of fear and frustra- nal relations for the Indiana State Board of Education. “When the tion in their minds that they are only seen as a test score. I believe State Board asked the DOE about this in September, they said it students know a lot more than a test score can show.” would only add a few questions. As you can see, it did a lot more The lengthened test in part resulted from the Departthan that.” ment of Education’s lack of a pilot test that would Jenny Froehle, chief academic officer for Zionsville Community have sampled the validity of questions on a Schools, said that the tests are also longer this year because the smaller subset of students before issuing it to state must administer its normal assessment as well as complete the entire state. tests required by states that received a federal waiver that allows “Since the Department of Education flexibility on some provisions of the No Child Left Behind law. didn’t do the pilot test, as it said it would, “The requirements of the state law and the federal law have overlapped causing a longer test this year due to the creation of field testing of new items addressing our new state standards,” she said. “IDOE representatives have stated that we can expect the test to be shorter in the future when we are not attempting to meet these double requirements.”

On Feb. 9, the DOE was taken to task by Gov. Mike Pence, who issued an executive order to cut the length of the exam back down to around six hours.

“Parents and teachers across Indiana are stunned and outraged at this news, and so am I,” Pence said during a press conference.

“I am committed to seeing this test through and to bring common sense to shorten it for Hoosier families.”

In order to find ways to reduce test times, officials are in contact with nationally-recognized experts on assessments which, according to Pence’s statements, may include making the social studies and reading portions of the exam more concise. However, in spite of the executive order, final say on the length of the test still rests with state superintendent Glenda Ritz and the DOE. Testing begins March 2.

Bonus benefit of virtualization Zionsville Community Schools has embraced virtualization, which allows students and teachers to access software and learning materials online through any device that can connect to the Internet. The virtualization process is expected to save the district classroom space and money, but it also comes with an added – and immediate – benefit.

Students will be able to take the ISTEP+ tests at the same time on their own device in the morning rather than rotating through computer labs throughout the day. Officials expect that this will allow all students to test when they are able to focus more easily.

Marking off the to-do list

FROM T H E B ACKS H OP Pollster just might have a better view Gallup Organization CEO Jim Clifton rightfully lambasted the government’s unemployment rate and the methodology used to determine it. “There’s no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.” Americans for Limited Government tells us in deriding the official unemployment rate, Clifton points to the fact that those who have left the workforce even if they are of working age are not counted as unemployed. He points to the unfair categorization of a person trained to be an engineer working as a fry cook as being employed rather than underemployed. He worryingly notes that only 44 percent of the adult population 18 years old and older have full-time jobs (more than 30 hours a week) asserting, “We need that to be 50 percent and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America’s middle class.”

••• Let’s see how the Republicans can mess this up. Mitt Romney has declined the opportunity to attempt another run at the presidency and Jeb Bush apparently and sadly seems to be the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. Ah, but wait! Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a guy we can stomach, is making friends and serious gains on Bush’s popularity. At this point, we see him as having the tools and guts to take on the Clinton machine.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Zeros and Ones

Commentary by Terry Anker

Much of modern computer technology depends upon simple combinations of “0’s” and “1’s” to input and dispense with stunningly complex actions. It is in these most humble building blocks that all processing begins and ends.

The very fact that a 1 is not a 0 and a 0 is not a 1, when combined in long strings, allows the computer programmer to conceive and overcome countless restrictions with breathtaking speed.

An assemblage of impressive kids, The Young Actors’ Theater of Indianapolis (www.yakids. org) is currently presenting a short morality play that is both impressively presented and thoughtfully acted. These young people, 1,600 or so this year, bring forward about 20 productions and 65 performances annually. Many of these kids are from populations to whom the arts are not a part of everyday life. Executive Director Justin Wade and his sister Managing Director Catherine Wade include as one of several programs, The Court: Battle Real Issues. It aspires to encourage

the kids to confront important social problems through theater; and, both the audience and the performers benefit. In one presentation, the teens address bullying in the age of social media.

The topic is so timely it almost seems obvious – and as the play opens, one fresh-faced protagonist admonishes the audience that in bullying – one is either being picked-on or picking-on.

Had this kind of simplistic, binary assessment been the end of the work, the production’s merit would be limited.

As computing horsepower has exponentially expanded, the increased granularity of millions, if not trillions, of 0’s & 1’s have given developers the ability to make what is essentially a binary action appear to be more complex, even nuanced. These kids know it, and make good use.

Q U OTE OF T H E W EEK Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster.

– Friedrich Nietzsche

I am not a procrastinator. Quite the opposite. I pay bills before they are due. I’ve already filed my 2014 income tax return. I kiss my wife goodnight in the morning.

The daily to-do list that I complete each night should list chores that should be done the next day, but I can’t put any of those things on my yellow notepad because I completed all those tasks weeks ago.

Sometimes I imagine what would happen if the day I graduated from high school, I was given a giant to-do list with everything on it that I needed to accomplish by the time I went to my 50th class reunion … which will be in October, back in New York.

• See 1,426 movies • Interview 25,567 people • Phone my sister 341 times • Go to the dentist 122 times • Write 757 humor columns • Clean a kitty litter box 6,018 times • Read 1,708 books For a person like me who wants to get things done right now, I’d be a total mess from the moment I saw what I needed to accomplish—even though I had 50 years to do it.

“Hello, Dick, I’m Harry, your new college roommate. Want to go out and get a beer?”

“Sorry, Harry, but I’m really busy. I have 1,708 books to read before 2015.”

Because I’m compulsive, I’d probably try to get a lot of the stuff over with immediately. I’d have my teeth cleaned 12 times a year, so I’d be done by 1985. I’d convince Mary Ellen when we got married to view 20 or 30 movies every weekend. That would have at least put a small dent in the 1,426 flicks I’d have to finish by 2015.

How about talking to my sister on the phone in New York 341 times? “Dick, this is the fifth time you’ve called me today. We have absolutely nothing new to say to each other.”

“I know, Linda, I know. But I have to get all the calls in to you by my 50th reunion.”

“It’s only 1987. Have you talked to our brother as much?”

“Yes, actually several dozen times this week. I’m done now. I never have to talk to him again.”

I would have also had to space out 18,678 showers over the entire 50 years. Wait, did you really think I’d try to get them all done in just a decade or two?

Really, how weird do you think I am?

Parenting trifecta Commentary by Danielle Wilson Why does the poop always hit the fan when my husband Doo is out of town? I suppose it’s my own fault, as a not-so-small part of me was kind of looking forward to his trip. Let’s face it, husbands can be demanding, especially ones who seem to sabotage all plans for a clean house and on-time living. But I shouldn’t have admitted the sentiment! That was just plain stupid, a total rookie mistake. I basically delivered a handwritten invitation to the gods asking them to send me one difficult parenting moment after another. Their reply? Game on!

The week did actually start out lovely. But then my first challenge arrived in the form of an email from one of our kids’ teachers, and I was forced to take over Doo’s role as Chief Disciplinarian. This meant not only having to ground our precious little slacker, but also having to enforce said grounding. By myself, all alone. Easier said than done, as those of you with teenagers can attest. Between his incessant complaining and obnoxious loitering, I felt like I was the one being punished. “Fine! You can go to the Super Bowl party; just get out of my hair!” Oops. This is why Doo always handles the punishments. Annoyance trumps my resolve every time.

One whole day passed before those haughty gods mocked my sabbatical from wifedom yet again. Our youngest twisted her ankle at tumbling practice, walking, of course. I spent four

hours consoling a child in pain, questioning my amateur diagnosis of a sprain versus a break and performing logistical magic to arrange daycare, crutches and a potential ER visit. Thank goodness my in-laws were around. All hail Grams and Pops!

I really could have used Doo though, not only to support my Dr. Quinn, Medicine Mom, call, but also to assuage the guilt I experienced from pawning our hobbled ten-year-old off on the grandparents.

Sometimes I hate being a working mom.

The trifecta of parenting trials completed itself that same night: As I searched my daughter’s room for “comfort items,” I discovered her beloved pet lizard in a semi-shriveled, but definitely dead state of now non-existence. When I broke the news to Maddie, already exhausted from her traumatic “walking” injury (seriously, just walking!), she simply said, “I need a moment to myself.” The next thing I know I’m sobbing uncontrollably in the garage holding a tampon box turned reptile coffin and begging for the early return of Doo. I am not cut out for solo-mommyhood. Despite the brief respite that comes from having my husband out from underfoot, I prefer him here, with me, partnering in this parent thing. Lesson learned, gods. Lesson learned! Peace out.

Looking for healthier dining-out options? Try these local restaurants

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com While many people started their New Year’s diet resolutions in January, national statistics show that the serious dieters, and the ones who are most likely to stick to a healthy-eating plan, are actually more likely to launch their healthy lifestyle in FebruDining ary once the buzz around resolutions has died down.

“It makes more sense to start a diet [this month],” said Jane Flanders, a retired nutritionist in Carmel.

Current explored some of the best restaurants to dine at, where patrons can enjoy a variety of dishes and not break the calorie bank.

Vitality bowls for any dieters are a good option. (Submitted photos)

Vitality Bowls

Yats

SoHo Café and Gallery

Four locations in Hamilton County and Zionsville

This café ranks number one on the vegetarian list for Carmel compiled by time-trusted vegan and vegetarian company Happy Cow. SoHo Café serves meat options, but daily will have vegetarian soups and sandwiches to choose from, many of which are veggie-based.

Another great pick for vegetarians and dieters alike. While creole and Cajun cuisine might not seem like healthy foods because they come with high pilings of rice and bread, diners can ask for rice and bread on the side, and not on the same plate as the creole curries.

This way, everyone can enjoy their Cajun chicken without the hassle of accounting for extra carbohydrates.

10 W. Main St., Carmel This new spot in downtown Carmel is buzzing with locals raving about their fresh options for snacks. The bowls of fruits, fibers and add-ins are a great option for those with a sweet tooth who might not want to indulge on classics like cake and cookies. The smoothies are also a great pick.

Chicken tikka masala can be had, healthily, at Amber Indian.

620 S. Range Line Rd., Carmel

Yats on Old Meridian in Carmel.

Amber Indian

12510 N. Meridian St., Carmel Amber Indian, deemed by many local Indians the most authentic Indian cuisine in Indy, is one place where it is completely possible to have a healthy, and hearty, meal. The Amber lunch buffet is particularly good for dieters because it has a full section of salad items (plain veggies and fruits, with spiced-up dipping sauces such as mango chutney). If diners skip over the rice and naan selections, many of the meat and vegetable entrees can be enjoyed healthily. Even the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are good options, because in Indian cuisine the “butter” used is actually “ghee,” a purified version of butter that it known for its internal healing benefits and help in moving oxygen throughout the body.

C onsider . . .

This week, Current editors recommend attending the Actors Theatre of Indiana Mardi Gras fundraiser, because what could be better than a great party for a great cause? At 6 p.m., Feb. 21 guests can celebrate with ATI. Casual attire is the dress code and cost is $75 per person. There will be dinner, a cash bar, dancing, beads, a live band and games.

The party is at Woodland Country Club in Carmel.

RSVP by phone at 669-7983, extension 104.

Enjoy many benefits of mushrooms Commentary by Ceci Martinez Mushrooms have been beloved by many cultures for many years. The Greeks said mushrooms were the “food of the gods.” For thousands of years, traditional Chinese healers brewed certain mushroom species as a tonic for longevity or tea to alleviate everything from migraines to sore throats. Scientists today have learned to appreciate these ancient benefits and put them into healing action. Among the countless benefits, mushrooms contain bioactive chemicals that boost the immune system, enabling us to fight infections and counter allergies and arthritis.

And mushrooms, like people, when exposed to sunlight make vitamin D. If you suffer from vitamin D deficiency, add mushrooms to your diet.

They are also packed with potassium, vitamin B1, B2, C, selenium and fiber.

Note: These edible fungi are so porous they suck up water like sponge, so don’t wash them. Clean off any dirt with a damp cloth or a soft mushroom brush.

WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE This recipe makes a great topping for eggs, polenta, pasta, quinoa, panini bread.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms, sliced (Portobello, Oyster, Shiitake, your

Work begins on Village Kitchen

By Heather Lusk • news@currentzionsville.com When Bryan Avery and his wife went looking for the right spot to open a small restaurant, they knew that they had found dining a perfect fit as soon as they got a look at the space that formerly housed Plum’s Upper Room. They loved the potential they saw as they looked out the windows onto Main Street.

“I thought, ‘This could be the coolest, hippest place in the world,’” Avery said. “And I don’t say things like ‘coolest’ and ‘hippest.’”

Their initial plan to apply a few coats of paint and open quickly changed once they removed all of the old furniture. Avery realized that it would take a little more effort to turn the space from a simple cafe to something more. After several months of discussing how to best use the layout, work to rebuild the space as Village Kitchen began in January. Avery hopes to have the restaurant open by early April.

The design will incorporate elements of the 150-year old building, like the exposed brick, wood beams and hardwood floors, with industrial steel furnishing and a visible stainless steel kitchen.

Village Kitchen is developing as a “repeatable concept” with plans to open more locations in the area, Avery said. He is trying to include elements at the restaurant’s first location that are both functional and can be replicated elsewhere.

The Boston native has spent his career working in restaurants and food trucks. His goal for Village Kitchen is to create a family-friendly space and find ways to engage the community.

“We want this to be a safe place for families to enjoy themselves,” said Avery, who lives in Carmel.

The family-friendly atmosphere can be seen in his staff, as his niece is moving to the area to act as general manager and his wife is planning to be involved as well.

The restaurant will have a walk-up counter to place orders and include self-serve beverage areas and space to seat between 50 and 65 people.

Protecting your identity in the internet age is no easy task. Anthem and Target are just two major companies that have made safety headlines by malicious data breach attacks. Individuals and small businesses can protect themselves from these types of attacks with smart preparation and the right insurance, which is where Shepherd can help.

As an individual, you may already have identity theft protection coverage through your homeowners insurance policy. Talk to your independent insurance agent to find out. Adding coverage only costs a few dollars per month. Outside of insurance protection, there are a few other strategies you can employ to protect yourself from targeted attacks on your identity.

Strong Passwords A strong password includes non-sequential numbers, letters and symbols. Your password should not contain any words found in the dictionary, and should be different for each account you create one for. The more often you use the same password, the more at risk you become.

Don’t Become a Victim Never give out personal information via email.

No reputable company will ever ask. If you question the legitimacy of an email, do not click any links in that email. Do an online search for the company, go to their main website and contact their customer service department before re-

sponding to any suspicious email.

Monitor Your credit cards and bank accounts will always be a key target for identity theft. Monitor your accounts and report any suspicious activity immediately. Make sure you understand the risks of debit cards versus credit cards.

Protect Your Business Publicly traded businesses make the headlines, but hackers are increasingly targeting small to medium sized businesses. The big difference between an individual and a business is that unless you have specifically purchased a cyber liability policy, you are NOT protected.

Develop Prevention Strategies Analyze your risks and find the vulnerabilities in technology, people and processes. Educate your staff about how to identify suspicious emails and require their passwords to be strong. One uninformed employee can undo the best-laid plans.

Crisis Management Respond quickly and have a reaction plan set in place. Your first step should be freezing any account that was compromised. Then sign up for a credit monitoring service.

Preventing falls, independence loss Commentry by P. Jamieson Kay, M.D.

“I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” So goes the iconic TV spot, featuring older adults calling for help after a fall. Though seniors fictitious, the TV scene reflects a common predicament that likely has impacted someone close to you.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in three adults age 65 or older falls each year, affecting just about all families. In fact, falls are the leading cause of open wounds and fractures, often robbing older adults of their independence.

I see plenty of patients with fall injuries, especially during winter months when ice and snow raise risks for people of all ages.

Most often, they’ve suffered wrist, ankle and hip fractures - the latter presenting considerable problems for older adults.

The devastating part of a hip fracture is recovery, because many patients lose independence, at least temporarily, and need to go into a rehab facility or nursing home. In some cases, they never recover that independence. That’s the real tragedy.

According to the American Academy of

Orthopaedic Surgeons, most fall fractures happen in the home, stemming from daily activities like walking on stairs, going to the bathroom or working in the kitchen. The culprits: slippery or wet surfaces, poor lighting, inadequate footwear and clutter.

Prevention starts with minimizing hazards in the home. Remove clutter and other tripping points, and have light switches or nightlights in convenient spots so you don’t have to fumble in the dark for the light switch. I also recommend non-skid mats and handrails in the bathroom.

Throw rugs are particularly dangerous.

They get bunched up and people commonly trip on them.

I also recommend weight-bearing exercise, like walking, on a regular basis, to maintain muscle mass and balance. Also, mind your footwear: Wear non-skid soles and ditch high heels.

And in this weather, if you don’t need to go out, don’t.

Dr. P. Jamieson Kay, an orthopedic surgeon with St.Vincent, may be reached at info@youarecurrent.com.

‘Alternately’ and ‘alternatively’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer

www.fireplacelove.com

Is Your Fireplace Burning Through Your Energy Bill?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, conventional fireplaces (wood or gas) are one of the most inefficient heat sources in the home. In fact, an open or unsealed damper in a well-insulated house can raise overall energy consumption by up to 30 percent, or nearly $200 per year.

Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, my friend told me the other day that I was using ‘alternatively’ and ‘alternately’ wrong. grammar guy She said they shouldn’t be used interchangeably.

I guess I hadn’t really thought of them as two distinct words, even. She is British, by the way.

Is there a difference between American and British usage?”

Answer: Thanks for the question! You’ve gotten a little ahead of me here, so let’s backtrack a second.

“Alternate,” with a long “A” sound in the third syllable, is a verb meaning “to occur in turn repeatedly.” It can also be an adjective with more or less the same meaning – you’re probably most familiar with “alternating current,” or “AC,” which is how electricity is supplied to your home and iPhone and various other gadgets. (Take that, Edison!)

“Alternative,” on the other hand, can be a noun or an adjective meaning “one or more things available as another possibility.” An important part of the definition is that the things are mutually exclusive. In other words, it’s one or the

other.

Both words share a root in the Latin alternare, meaning “interchange,” but their modern-day meanings have diverged in British English.

In American English, however, since we like to break the rules, “alternate” has come to be used colloquially to mean “available as another choice” – thus gaining a new adjectival and noun form.

The big point of contention is that only North Americans really use “alternate” – short “A” sound in the third syllable, like “alter-nit” – as a noun meaning “a person who acts as a substitute.” In America, the runner-up in a competition might act as the alternate if the first-place contest can’t fulfill their duties. In Britain, they would act as the alternative.

So, is it wrong to use “alternatively” and “alternately” interchangeably? It is if you are substituting “alternatively” for “alternately.” Flip that around, though, and modern usage puts you in the clear – at least in the good ol’ U.S.A. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

Tel Dan: Proof of King David Commentary by Don Knebel

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. It’s an engaging novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying, “Finally, a horror story void of vampires, werewolves, or zombies!”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Available in paperback at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

Underground springs and runoff from Lebanon’s Mount Hermon create a lush landscape in the Galilee Panhandle of northeast travel Israel far different from the remainder of the country. This fertile area includes Tel Dan, a large archeological mound named for the Biblical Tribe of Dan that produced one of the most important archaeological finds in Israel’s history.

In about 1,800 B.C., the Canaanites established a major city called Laish in the region around Tel Dan. Archaeologists have uncovered a mud brick city gate from that period that includes the oldest known arched opening, an invention once incorrectly attributed to the much later Romans.

According to the Book of Joshua, members of the Tribe of Dan conquered Laish after their exodus from Egypt because the Philistines prevented them from capturing the land near the Mediterranean coast originally assigned to them. Archaeologists have unearthed stone gates and walls from the period of Israelite occupation of Dan, which the Bible says formed the northern boundary of the United Monarchy established by King David. Visitors can also explore the excavated “high place” the Bible says Jeroboam built in Dan when the northern Kingdom of Israel split from the southern Kingdom of Judah after the death of David’s son Solomon. Dan’s high place, featuring a golden calf, competed for worshippers with

the Temple in Jerusalem.

During excavations at Tel Dan in 1994, archaeologist Avraham Biran discovered pieces of a broken stele (monument) erected by King Hazael of Aram-Damascus in the late ninth century B.C., boasting of capturing Dan and killing Israel’s King Jehoram. Most scholars now believe the Aramaic writing on the stele also says Hazael killed Ahaziah, “son of the king of the House of David,” the first non-Biblical evidence of David’s existence.

Although the now famous Tel Dan stele confirms the historicity of David and his dynasty, it

Blending old with new in 1920s Indianapolis Bungalow

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

EXISTING HOME: After living in their 95-yearold bungalow in the Butler/Tarkington area for 25 years, the homeowners blueprint for were tired of outdated improvement cosmetics and poor flow. “Our main priorities were to create a more open feel and modernize the kitchen and bathrooms while staying true to the original style and charm of the home.”

KITCHEN: To create a more open concept feel, the original narrow doorways were widened and arched for a better sightline from the formal dining room to the kitchen. New doors and drawer fronts were installed and painted to match the existing cabinetry boxes. A new backsplash was installed using “Lady Onyx” subway tile to complement the existing granite countertops. To brighten up the space, the existing copper wallpaper on the ceiling was removed. New decorative molding was installed to restore the historical charm of the kitchen. To complete the final look, a new heated slate tile floor was installed in a small Versailles pattern.

DINING NOOK: The original corner built-ins were revitalized with new moldings and a fresh coat of white paint. The interiors were painted in a contrasting gray color to add depth and visual interest. Wainscoting was then installed around the perimeter of the room and white decorative trim was placed on the ceiling for added charm.

UPSTAIRS BATH: The plumbing in the upstairs bath was upgraded to modern standards. A tub was upgraded to a tub/shower combination. The original shower tile was removed and replaced with 4x4 gloss black tile in a diagonal pattern on the side walls. The white and black basketweave tile used for the niche and bathroom floor gives a cohesive look with the rest of the bathroom. Stone veneer was installed over the top of existing stainless steel sheets to add texture and warmth to the bathroom.
