COMMUNITY Philanthropy

By robert herrington • [email protected]

The family of Sam and Patty Zeckel awarded $98,104 to four Noblesville-based non-profit agencies, fulfilling the wishes of their late father, who died March 15 at 82. Joined by his sister, Kathy Zeckel-Smith, and daughter, Hunter Zeckel, Jeff Zeckel presented checks for $24,526 each to the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville, Good Samaritan Network, Humane Society for Hamilton County and Riverview Hospital Foundation.

Jeff said that Sam stipulated in his will that, following his death, the family had to sell his home and its contents within four months and split the proceeds among four local charities. Patty preceded Sam in death on Feb. 1, 2003.

“He chose the Boys & Girls Club, Humane Society and Riverview Foundation. It was up to me to choose the last one. I chose Good Samari-tan,” said Jeff. “My father provided the money, the family worked very hard all summer long to achieve his goal. Working tirelessly, we were doing it to help others.”

Jeff said the Boys & Girls Club was particularly dear to his family because his sister, Jennifer, was named the club’s first Girl of the Year and fought for the inclusion of females into the club. Becky Terry of the Boys & Girls Club said the money would be used to fund programs, including the meals and snack packs it provides members.

“We’ll definitely put this money to good use,” Terry said.

Riverview Hospital Foundation Executive Director Trish Oman said the donation would benefit its patients who come in with cardiac issues.

“It can be lifesaving,” she told the family. “It’ll cause a ripple effect for generations to come.”

“Dad was so proud of our community hospi-tal,” said Jeff, adding he and his siblings were all born there.

Jeff joked that his family was one of Schnau-zers. When his father was an empty nester, Jeff said his dogs became his “kids” and were his companions for the rest of his life. Rebecca Stephens, executive director of the Humane Society for Hamilton County, said her funds

would go into the survivor program, which pro-vides emergency and life-saving care to animals brought to the shelter.

Good Samaritan Director Nancy Chance said the donation is especially important as the six food pantries that will receive the funds are in desperate need this time of year.

“Most of the pantries are struggling to keep food on the shelf in Noblesville,” she said. “I think this vision was far reaching. I thought a lot of your family. They meant a lot to me.”

“Dad saw that people were still hungry in Ham-ilton County and still needed help,” Jeff added.

Earth Fare will open its 29th store and first Indiana location at 8 a.m. Wednesday in Noblesville’s Hamilton Town Center.

“We are very excited about coming to Indiana,” said CEO Jack Murphy. “We’re very excited about the community at large."

Earth Fare is an all-natural healthy super-market that offers everything from local and organic fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh, never-frozen meats, poultry and seafood to hot bar, salad bar and scratch bakery.

“We offer all the same kind of products of traditional grocery stores,” he said. “The brand might be different with no artificial colors or additives.”

Murphy was quick to point out that the company’s food philosophy is that “ingredi-ents matter,” and so Earth Fare guarantees that nothing in the store contains high fruc-tose corn syrup, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, sweeten-ers, preservatives and flavors.

“There’s not a single product of high fruc-tose corn syrup,” he said, adding that it is the No. 1 cause of obesity and onset diabetes. “We’ve had customers tell me, ‘I love coming

here because you read the labels so we don’t have to.’”

Murphy said Earth Fare also bans antibiotics and/or synthetic growth hormones in any of the fresh meat and dairy.

“Our cows take 11 months to come to weight,” Murphy said, adding that

most "convenient store" cows take just six months. “They’re growing in the right way.”

While some organic foods cost a little more, Murphy said there are limitless ways to save and help families provide healthier eating options. Customers can find coupons online at www.earthfare.com, on their phones (by texting EAT to 71700) and in the store.

“We have a very aggressive mobile cam-paign,” he said. “We have very, very aggres-sively priced products.”

In addition to being a grocery store, Earth Fare also has a dining area with a hot food, salad and fruit bar.

Murphy said Tuesdays are “Good Old Days” when patrons can get prime-rib dinner for $9.99. Every Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. is Family Dinner Night where up to six kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal $5 or more. Meal options include sandwiches, handmade pizza slices and fresh fruit.

tEEn SOn, DiSABlED fAthEr ESCAPE hOuSE firE – Noblesville father and son managed to es-cape their burning home at 437 James St. without injury in the early morning hours of Oct 31. Chad Shaw, a wheelchair-bound resident, told firefighters he awoke shortly before 2:30 a.m. to the sound of the burning window blinds in his bedroom crashing to the ground. After discovering the fire, Shaw started yelling for his son, Zachery, to wake him up and alert him of the situation. “Mr. Shaw had two entry ways into his bedroom. The entry way that his wheelchair fit through was blocked by the fire, so Mr. Shaw had to exit out the sec-ond access; however, his wheelchair did not fit through that exit. Therefore, Mr. Shaw stated he had to crawl out his second exit while his son went into the burning bedroom and grabbed his father’s wheel-chair,” explained NFD Division Chief Rick Russell. “Both Mr. Shaw and his son exited out the back of the home, went into the garage, and got into their vehicle and activated the OnStar feature for help.” When firefighters arrived, they found smoke and flames on the north side of the house. Within 20 minutes the fire was under control. Russell said the blaze was confined to the bedroom, but other rooms in the house sustained smoke damage. “The fire has originated in the bedroom along a wall where numerous electronics, including a space heater was plugged into the electrical outlets along the bedroom wall,” he said. Russell said the fire has caused approximately $60,000 damage to the structure and contents.

Despite the initial hiccup that pos-sible road construction would jeop-ardize it, Reynolds Farm Equipment, Inc. is happy to announce that it will host its 20th annual free Christmas lights display this holiday season.

“We had some better clarification from the Indiana Department of Transportation, who assured us that the road to the lights display will re-main opened,” said Michael Lawson.

The family-owned business is hoping that the generous public will shine even brighter than its annual Christmas lights display. Fishers Come-To-Me Food Pantry and Interfaith Hospitality Network of Indianapolis will have volunteers on-site for several nights to collect any free-will monetary and non-perishable goods donations.

“We worked with the volunteers of IHN several years ago by allowing their staff to collect free-will donations,” says Lawson, “and we’re glad to have them back this year on a couple of select dates. The other select dates will be staffed by volunteers from the local food pantry.”

Visiting motorists will have the opportunity to receive donor informa-tion when they drive thru the lights display as well as make any free-will donations. Those authorized volunteers will be clearly recognized and visible during their drive thru the Christmas lights. Reynolds Farm Equip-ment’s Free Christmas Lights Display can be seen dusk to dawn beginning Nov. 20 through Jan. 1, 2013. The display is located at 12501 Reynolds Drive in Fishers, near the southeast corner of Ind. 37 and 126th Street.

For a safer driving environment, Reynolds has taken precautions with hired services from within the Fishers Police Department, who will be on-hand for most weekend evenings to help direct the traffic both coming in and out of the display.

The four designated beneficiaries of this year’s Mayor’s Charity Ball Mayor were presented checks by Mayor John Ditslear last week. Each beneficiary received $10,000.

“This year’s event was not only a lot of fun, but most importantly it helped to make a dif-ference for local non-profits,” said Ditslear. “We are thrilled to have helped Agapé Therapeutic Riding Resources, Indiana Autism Scholarship Foundation, the Noblesville Firefighters Christ-mas Food and Toy Drive and Special Olympics of Hamilton County.”

Ditslear hosted the 2012 Noblesville Mayor’s Charity Ball Aug. 3 at Harbour Trees Beach Club, 100 Clarendon Dr., Noblesville. This year’s theme was “Cruise with the Captain” and guests were invited to come dressed in casual resort wear. The evening included dinner, dancing to the music of Jayne Bond and the Pink Martinis, and live and silent auctions.

The nonprofit organization behind the May-or’s Ball is Helping Hands, Inc. Its mission is to educate the public, relieve and assist poor and distressed families and children, and distribute

funds or provide grants to charitable organiza-tions. Helping Hands, Inc. also regularly do-nates to organizations such as Prevail, Promising Futures, and the Red Stocking Fund.

COMMUNITY Cover storyIn their words

“Nancy is very humble and has been the reluctant recipient of many awards for her outstanding community involve-ment and support; but, what makes her special is the fact that she has an unrelenting giving heart. She has been an inspira-tion to many influential people in Noblesville encouraging them to get involved and to reach out and help others. She continues to be an encouragement to me.”

John Ditslear, noblesville mayor

“I have had many opportunities to serve our com-munity with Nancy Chance and have never seen an individual more enthusiastic, dedicated or committed to those in need. What will always stand out in my mind about Nancy was that she NEVER did anything for another expect-ing anything in return. Nancy immersed herself into the needs of others and was always ready, willing and able to help in a uniquely unselfish way.”

Douglas G. Carter, former hamilton County Sheriff and County Commissioner-elect.

“Nancy has never turned back in her quest to help those in need. She has continued to build insti-tutions, secure financial support, and all the time leading with her caring, down to Earth problem solving attitude.”

luke kenley, State Senator

“Nancy is such an amazing per-son and a true blessing to all who know her. It’s hard to put into words what a tremendous impact she has on the lives of others. She is an angel on earth and we are so lucky to have her in our community.”

Amanda trestrail, riverview hospital foundation philanthropy officer

“Nancy has been involved in so many worthy projects that physi-cally help people at the grass roots level that some consider her the Mother Teresa of Hamilton County.”

Brian D lott, fishers Deputy fire Chief

“Nancy always has a positive outlook even when the outlook is bleak. She has also changed the way my husband looks at things, too. Now we know that even if we don’t have the funds or whatever, that God is going to provide a way for us. The people that she helps aren’t just low income they are also mid-dle income. She wants to give people a hand-up not a hand out. Her vision is long-term not just what will get someone by for a couple of days or weeks but what will help them in their future.”

Cynthia Brantley, Good Samaritan client

By robert herrington • [email protected]

For those in need, Nancy Chance is a God-send, a volunteer they nev-er turns away someone who is hungry or seeking assistance.

“Nancy has been involved in so many worthy projects that physically help people at the grass roots level that some consider her the Mother Teresa of Hamilton County,” said Fishers Deputy Fire Chief Brian D. Lott.

Chance’s caring nature began at a young age. When she was 4, she accompanied her grandparents to their custom cabinet shop in downtown Noblesville (where the Hamilton County Judicial Center is today). She recalls seeing six men jump from a train and gather under a bridge for shelter. Her grandfather explained the men were looking for work and were waiting for the next train to come through town. When Chance speculated that they might be hungry, her grandfather challenged her to come up with a solution.

“We had a picnic basket lunch so I cut my sandwich into six pieces, walked to the bridge, and distributed it to the homeless men,” said Chance. “My grandparents stood every day and watched me so I wouldn’t be harmed.”

Kindness runs in the Chance family. As a child, Chance would hear knocking on her grandparents’ door and her grandfather, who was a minister, would invite the guest in for a meal.

“I wasn’t a stranger to seeing people I’ve never met,” she said. “I was always concerned about people since that point.”

Today, Chance is the blood bank coordinator at Riverview Hospital. She began working at Riverview Hospital almost 44 years ago and has placed the hospital on the map with several standards and techniques when it comes to “washing” and conserving blood. As a high school stu-dent, Chance passed on a Tri Kappa college scholarship – she planned to major in nursing – to stay at home and financially assist her family after her father was injured and hospitalized for months.

“It’s hard to get a total picture of the working poor, families who struggle at low-paying jobs or have two or more part-time jobs with no benefits,” she said. “It only takes one emergency to derail a family.”

Good Samaritan Network

Chance founded the network in 1995, to connect Hamilton County

clubs, agencies and businesses to share resources and work together for the greater good instead of duplicating efforts and competing against one another for funding.

“We take care of families when they surface,” said Chance. “If we weren’t there then there wouldn’t be anyone catching families that fall between the cracks. We’re like a traffic cop. There’s a lot of checks and balances, it’s amazing.”

In the 17 years since its inception, Chance has united 64 agencies, 240 churches, 32 food pantries and nine township trustees that collectively and efficiently serve 20,000 indi-viduals annually – all while working full-time at Riverview.

While Good Samaritan is in the community spotlight during the winter holiday months, the organization provides assistance year-round with rent and utility assistance, cover-ing medication bills and of course, food.

“We fight the battle to help keep families above water,” she said. “We’re helping our own community make a comeback.”

A ‘Classic Woman’

Traditional Home magazine featured Chance in its September issue with a 2012 Classic Woman Award. The annual awards honor five extraordinary women and their commitments to volunteerism. Chance and her family were flown to New York City and honored at the magazine’s lun-

cheon at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel ballroom. “I didn’t know anything about it,” said Chance, who was nominated

by her peers and friends. “Our volunteers, agencies, partners and all the ones that work with us are the stars. I’m just good at circulating people.”

Chance said the best part of the experience, aside from the royal treatment, was being able to raise awareness of Good Samaritan at the national level. Instead of talking about herself, chance chose to highlight Hamilton County, its “working poor” and how agencies were work-ing together to accomplish a group goal and not individual ones at the awards, which included 600 Fortune 500 people.

“I didn’t want the light on me, that’s not the fair thing to do,” she said.Following the luncheon, a businessman from Baltimore stopped

Chance and handed her a $1,000 bill.“I wasn’t intending on doing anything, but here’s a gift for you,” he

told her.Chance said Good Samaritan has received several cash donations since

the Sept. 19 awards.“It just keeps coming – it takes your breath away,” she said.

vIeWS Opinion

It is our position that political correctness should be reexamined in America. As vot-ers head to the polls in one of the most po-larizing elections in his-tory, semantics more than economics may very well drive how ballots are cast. Some may think a vote against the current regime is considered racist. Will exaggerated sound-bites regarding the issue of a woman’s right to choose sway voters without ever examining the real motives driving the topic? Is socializing medicine the best way to provide equal access to health care for all Americans? And, should it be equal?

According to global work environment research done by J. Michelle Sybesma of Professional Skills Consulting, Inc., political over-correctness may actually begin hurting America in the global economy because the control over office politics has stretched far beyond the initial focus of business needs. The principle of pleasing everyone is simply not realistic.

How are we to truly understand each other’s differences if we aren’t allowed to recognize that differences do exist? As Americans, we should not be afraid to ask questions of each other and should be encouraged to do so. A little candor may very well be what America needs. Go to the polls on November 5.

"The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained to liberation from the self."

- Albert Einstein

Commentary by terry Anker

While we love our home and being there, it seems that days go by without ever sitting down to a meal. And though I lament this reality, there is so much good happening on the other side of our front door to which re-ceptivity is warranted. So we gather our family and go into the world. Heartland Truly Mov-ing Pictures gave us such an opportunity just this past week. Our family had been in Brown County for much of the weekend, enjoying the turning autumn colors and the company of good friends. But we dashed off to tux up and attend the annual awards gala as the guest of a dedicated board member. It would have been easy to have demurred. It would have been easy to pass on another event. But as so often happens, we are certainly glad that we did not. Heartland’s film festival has become an Indianapolis and now international must-do. The winning film “Cairo” illustrates the reality of sexism in the Muslim world. Check it and others out at www.trulymovingpictures.

would have been enough to make this evening worth the effort, but it held another mo-ment. At dinner, a guest we’d just met was announced as recently becoming a US citizen. We welcomed him to the fold and asked him to share his story. It seems that while he’s lived here more than two decades, he felt it wrong to remain longer without casting a ballot. Wow. He’d built a business, raised a family and paid taxes without complaint. But decid-ed he could no longer, in good faith, call this place home without fulfilling his obligation to vote. While delighted by his choice, one is chilled by the millions of “natural” Americans who are not able to make the same commit-ment. Please go to the polls.

Tuesday will prove a momentous occasion on many fronts. Here is whom your favorite news-paper owners endorse (and why):

President – Mitt Romney, perhaps by a wider margin than previously thought possible. We be-lieve he’ll have a laser-like focus on the economy. Plus, he’s not an enemy to small business. Presi-dent Barack Obama’s policies, frankly, scare us. We believe Romney will shore up defense and justice, two areas in which we strongly place stock.

u.S. Senate – We’re going with State Treasur-er Richard Mourdock. As much as we were (and still are) aghast at his comments about “God’s will,” we believe he will march to Romney’s fis-cal conservancy beat. Does that mean we just want him added to the conservative side of the aisle? Yes, it does.

u.S. house of representatives – Susan Brooks gets our nod. Some call her a graduate from Republican Clone School. We don’t see her that way. She is an independent thinker, and we believe she will be heard.

Governor – We like Mike Pence and his fiscal conservancy. We view him as the one most likely to not significantly alter the course charted by the accomplished Gov. Mitch Daniels (who, we still believe, should be running for president in Romney’s stead).

indiana Attorney General – Greg Zoeller is our guy here. He filed suit against the Obama administration for foisting ObamaCare on us. We don’t need it.

indiana Schools Superintendent – It is in-cumbent Tony Bennett vs. Glenda Ritz. Bennett has put in place reforms (not nearly enough), while Ritz stands for uprooting teacher evalu-ations and ISTEP, and she is against voucher expansion. It’s Bennett for us.

Whether our endorsements are correct is un-important. What IS important is that everyone gets out to exercise his or her right (and respon-sibility) to vote. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Please do your part.

Listen up, good people of the northern India-napolis suburbs: I. Am. About. To be. Famous! I am officially announcing my brand new book (published by Current Publishing and Dog Ear Publishing, $14.95) titled, of course, “Peace Out!” Love me? Buy my book and relive, or read for the first time, hilarious, select columns from my early years. Hate me? Buy “Peace Out!” and have a good ol' fashion Nazi book burning party. I don’t really care, just buy my book!

Look, I’m not at all shy about promoting my-self. I really want some new leather boots and a trench coat, and those things just don’t show up at my door for free, unlike Current, which gives you weekly access to the life and times of moi and where you can also find my Web site to buy my book! Without the extra cash generated by my soon-to-be bestseller, “Peace Out!,” I’ll have to stick to the budget and only spend money on generic cereal, book rental fees, travel soccer dues, and pap smears. Not fun, my friends, so not fun.

So do your part in helping me become more fashion savvy (and famous)! Buy my book! Bet-ter yet, buy a bunch of copies and send them to your friends. The holidays are just around the corner; why not give the gift of me? You’ll be a hero, they’ll be thrilled, and I’ll be rich. It’s a win-win-win when you buy, buy, BUY!

In all seriousness, “Peace Out!” will appeal to anyone who has ever called him or herself a

spouse, parent, sibling, an adult child, a hemor-rhoid sufferer, Unisom addict, plastic surgery recipient, hunting widow, homeowner, an aunt/uncle, a Democrat, a mini-van owner or a Mommy-on-the-edge. I’ve selected my favorite rants from the last five years and organized them into ten delicious chapters for your reading pleasure. Keep it on your nightstand for a quick chuckle before bed or stash it in the loo for some entertaining potty humor.

But wait! There’s more! I’ve also included a bonus section including the best hate mail you’ll ever read. Who knows? Your comments could be in it, though you may not recognize yourself because I’ve changed everyone’s names to pro-tect your sorry, saggy be-hinds.

The point is, I’m offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to board my spaceship to fame while it’s still here on Earth. Ten years from now, when I’m carousing with J.K. Rowling, Nora Roberts and Oprah (she spans all genres), you can say, “I remember when her first book came out! She signed it for me at [insert local coffee shop/bookstore/library/gas station]!”

“Peace Out!” (Now available online at www.dani-elle-wilson.com, Amazon and Barnes & Noble).

Another district, another takeCommentary by robert herrington

I can understand how some parents feel the balanced calendar decision was rushed. I can also understand the sentiment that it wasn’t.

The study committee worked for a year on the balanced calendar. The research was done, com-munity input was sought, public support was garnered and a decision was made.

From the public side, many did not understand the background done and time spent by the com-mittee. While the balanced calendar was presented to the school board in June, it was not brought before the public again until October. Then an online survey, community mailing, forum and decision was made in a span of three weeks.

As the decision still resonates in Noblesville, it’s interesting to note that what has taken place here is being looked at in communities around us. Hamilton Heights and Westfield are now exploring the option of a balanced calendar with their communities.

Westfield Washington Schools previously looked at a balanced calendar years ago, but the public interest was not there to continue discus-sions. With Noblesville’s decision, Supt. Mark Keen is providing his community another look at the non-traditional schedule for the 2014-2015 school year.

If approved, Westfield’s balanced calendar would likely look different from Noblesville because it uses trimesters.

As with the Noblesville officials, Keen said there are benefits to both students and staff in having breaks of two weeks to refresh and still not be away from school too long for learning loss to set in. Interestingly though, Keen pro-vided two differing points of view to his public:

“The original intent of a balanced calendar was to use the two-week break for remedia-tion for those students who need a little more help. Unfortunately, that has not been done in many districts, and we would not do so here,” Keen wrote on his superintendent’s blog. “Sum-mer learning loss reaches its peak at six weeks off from school. Balanced calendars still have around eight weeks off, which does not reduce the impact of summer learning loss.”

The Shamrocks are also taking a different ap-proach from Noblesville. Three calendar 2014-15 options are available for view – traditional trimester, and semester and trimester versions of the balanced calendar – and a short survey will be conducted for 22 days.

It’s easy to say hindsight is 20/20, but it’ll also be much harder for Westfield residents to cry foul in two years if a change is made.

Editor,I am appalled that the mayor would even

consider asking for a raise let alone 10 percent. Does he not realize how totally absurd this is? With unemployment so high and others barely making ends meets he acts like he can’t live

on a $100,000 salary with good benefits I am sure. Would he like to try living on the great social security I have to live on, with the ever so fantastic Medicare? Come on he needs a reality check.

Peg funari, 46062

Editor,While you have ably covered the upcom-

ing election, I feel you should better highlight some important context. Four years ago, America faced its greatest economic crisis in generations. Employment was plummet-ing, and a second Great Depression appeared possible.

Since taking office, President Obama has worked tirelessly to stabilize the economy and rebuild America’s middle-class. This hasn’t al-ways been easy, but we are moving in the right direction. We now have steady job growth, and recovery is underway.

Now Mitt Romney proposes a return to the Bush-era policies of cutting taxes for million-aires and giving freer reign to Wall Street that led us into this mess. This didn’t work before, and it won’t work now.

I urge your readers to vote for Barack Obama.Andrew Mills, 46060

Editor,I have followed with interest your recent

coverage of the election. However, one key fact has been underemphasized in your reporting. Please remind your readers that our current president has had four years to dig us out of the economic slump, and has not done so. In fact, President Obama’s “spend now, pay later” policies have worsened the recession. Obama has brought us ever-increasing debt and sky-high unemployment.

Resident questions mayor’s raise request


Commentary by hope Baugh

If you enjoy ghost stories – not blood-and-gore slasher tales but creepy, elegant, unexplainable GHOST stories – you must see the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s production of “The Woman in Black.”

I loved this show. I left the theatre thinking, Wow! Part of my “wow” was prompted by the actors. There are only three

but they are excellent and they fill the theatre. Dan Scharbrough plays Arthur Kipps, a tormented solicitor who hires a professional actor, played by John Michael Goodson, to help him prepare to tell his story to his family so that he can get it out of his system and sleep without nightmares.

“We’ll make a Barrymore of you yet,” says The Actor, but Mr. Kipps insists that acting is not his forte, that he only wants to improve his delivery enough to make his family understand what happened. As the two men develop Mr. Kipp’s manuscript into a theatre piece, each plays more than one character. They brilliantly tweak their British ac-cents and their costumes (designed by Jean Engstrom) to fit.

Sara Mark plays the silent title character. My shoulders hunched up in a shiver every time she appeared.

My “wow” was also prompted by the design of the show. The first thing we hear is a child’s laughter. It is happy but also somehow haunt-ing, perhaps because we can’t see much. The only light at first is the tiny kind they used to leave on in theatres so no one would trip in the dark. Ironically, such lights were called “ghost lights.” There are boxes and buckets, and larger things covered in drop cloths, some partially hidden behind curtains. Ryan Koharchik’s set and lighting design holds us in the shadows like a bully, teasing us with what it will or will not reveal, and Michael J. Lasely’s sound design heightens the suspense as well.

This atmospheric piece will be most appreciated by teens and adults, rather than little kids. It was adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the novel by Susan Hill. It was directed for Civic by Robert J. Sorbera. It runs through Nov. 10 at the Tarkington Theatre in Carmel.

Joe Drozda is an author about sports and food. You may contact him at [email protected] or visit www.tailgatershandbook.com.

A game of one-upsmanshipOne-upmanship can be defined as the art or

practice of successively outdoing a competitor. In our case the competition is not the opposing team, rather it’s the other tailgaters in our parking lot. Way back in 1992, I remember when a man attached a flag pole and flag to his minivan. His flag, sporting the team name and logo, waved in the fall breeze. The next game, another tailgater had a larger flag on a higher poll. Week after week the “war of the flags” rose to higher levels. Finally after all parties had taken things up to the highest level money could buy, one man ar-rived and dealt the coup de grâce. He brought an inflatable mini blimp, in team colors. He filled it with helium gas and let it rise to the sky, easily more than 100 feet. The blimp was tethered to his vehicle by a long rope and on the rope hung a huge team flag. The war of the flags was over!

So much for one-upsmanship, right, or should I say “yeah right!” To try to make one’s tailgate set-up bigger and better is a natural male urge that must be allowed to run its course. Eventu-ally, after accumulating tents, canopies, coolers, sound systems, themed vehicles, and bigger and better grills, each tailgater will start to realize that a tailgate party is a social event, not a competi-tion. It’s a time to relax. Don’t get me wrong, it’s

still fun to watch rookie tailgaters compete with one another, but for now, when we speak of com-petition it’s about having better food.

Here’s a great cold weather dish that will stand out as the best food in your parking lot. It’s called bœuf bourguignon, or Beef Burgundy.

ingredients: 2 to 3 pounds good beef (like chuck steak) cubed, 1/4 cup canola oil, 10 or more small onions peeled, but whole, 1 teaspoon kosher salt,1 pound fresh mushrooms, 1 bottle burgundy wine

Prepare: Trim all the fat from the beef and then stir fry it in a large stew pot. Remove these pieces of fat with a slotted spoon and then add the cubed meat and oil. Brown this mixture for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the salt and onions and then cover the mixture with the wine and simmer 30 minutes. Clean the mush-rooms with a brush and then slice them into thin pro-file slices. Add these mushrooms to the mixture and then cover with the remainder of the wine. Simmer 30 minutes longer and then take one piece of beef and taste it. If it’s tender and full of that rich wine taste, it’s done. If not tender then cook it longer.

the Scoop: More than just a restaurant and more than just a bar, Casler’s is the perfect spot to enjoy the best of both worlds. Casler’s has much to offer. First, Casler’s features an atmo-sphere of great food, great fun and live music. Next, get ready to take a look at a menu full of tasty items. Soups, salads, burgers, pasta and pizza are all part of the dining experience at Casler’s. You’ll also want to save some room for one of Casler’s Elephant Ears for dessert. Casler’s now has a family room so that you and your fam-ily can enjoy a fun-filled dining experience.type of food: Pasta, burgers, pizzaPrice of entrees: $8.79 to $16.99Specialties: Burgers and sandwichesfood recommendation: Farm Raised Salmonlive Entertainment: Call or visit website for schedule of events.hours: 11 a.m. to close daily Address: 11501 Geist Pavillion Dr., FishersPhone: 596-9810Website: www.caslers.com

NIghT & daY Review

Commentary by Chris lloyd

For an absolutely unnecessary reboot of the web-slinging superhero franchise, “The Amazing Spider-Man” is terrifically well-done. It attacks the character of Pete Parker, a nerdy kid who gets bitten by a radioactive arachnid, from a darker perspective than the previous trilogy.

Andrew Garfield, taking over the lead role from Tobey Maguire, draws a portrait of a so-cially ostracized kid who was probably headed to a lonely life of despair if he hadn’t been turned into a non-caped crusader. Becoming Spider-Man teaches him harsh lessons about responsibility – particularly after his believed Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) is slain because of his inaction – but it also helps him come out of his shell, especially with regard to lady love Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone).

The heavy here is Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys

Ifans), a scientist who becomes Peter’s mentor as they try to unlock the secret of transferring the regenerative power of reptiles to humans. It does help Connors regrow his missing arm – but also turns him into the fearsome, toothsome Lizard.

Director Marc Webb was an unlikely choice for a big-budget action film, his only other credit being the indie romance, “(500) Days of Summer.” But Webb and the trio of screenwrit-ers have made something genuinely new out of something old.

Please note, “The Amazing Spider-Man” will be released on video Friday, Nov. 9.

NEW HOPE FOR CHILDRENwith Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD and ADHD

ASD Treatment Center of Indiana | 317-818-0760 | www.AutismTreatmentClinics.com

“A child sneaks out of the house, runs away, is hyper, has minimal focus and can’t socialize with friends for more than a minute. That used to be our son, Jack.

People think the answer to autism and ADHD are psychiatric medicines, but we knew that was only going to cover up his real symptoms. Despite this, we tried several mainstream treatments that produced little to no results. In the six months that Jack has been on the protocol through ASD Treatment Clinics, he has experienced much improvement with his focus, learning ability, behavior and overall wellbeing.

Early intervention is very important for children on the autism spectrum and we thank God that we were led to the ASD Treatment Clinic. Jack now has a treatment that we can trust will improve not only his life but the lives of our entire family.”- Renee and Ted Zlotopolski, Arnold, MO

“While early intervention is critical, ASD Treatment Clinic taught us it is never too late with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have three teenage children on the spectrum with varying ranges of disabilities. With Genetic Consultants of Indiana, ASD Treatment Clinic we learned what was happening to our children from the inside out. I call it our roadmap. We found out what our children needed without guessing or trying experimental treatments. Plus we loved that our major medical insurance was accepted.” - Bob & Sharon Smith, IN

Commentary by John hur, MD

Recently I began using a new method to perform hip replacement surgery, known as the Direct Anterior Approach.

This new approach allows me to reach the hip joint from the front of the hip as opposed to the lateral (side) or the posterior (back) approach. This way, the hip can be replaced without de-tachment of muscle from the pelvis or femur during surgery. The greatest benefit to this ap-proach is that the most important muscles for hip function, the gluteal muscles that attach to the pelvis and femur, are left undisturbed and, therefore, do not require a healing process to recover from surgical trauma. This decreases the amount of pain a patient experiences and also reduces complications, such as problems with hip dislocation. With less pain and improved function, most patients are able to return to normal activities sooner, if not immediately.

In comparison, conventional hip replace-ment surgery approaches require splitting and/or detachment of muscles that control motion of the hip and help prevent dislocation. Trauma to these muscles causes pain and swelling that takes time to heal in order to recover function. Typically, this requires six to 10 weeks of reha-bilitation and restrictions of not flexing the hip beyond 90 degrees, which affects basic activities like sitting, crossing the legs, putting on shoes and driving an automobile. It is also common

for patients who undergo conventional hip replacement surgery to experience dislocation of the hip due to the weakening of the muscles that are detached during surgery.

The direct anterior approach to hip replace-ment has been around for some time. In fact, it was first performed in Europe in 1947. Since that time, the technique has been continually refined with advancing medical technology. The most significant advancement that was made was with the creation of a special, state-of-the-art surgical table that allows surgeons to perform the procedure with ease. Today, literally thousands of hip replacement patients have ben-efited from this minimally invasive approach in Europe and America.

Unfortunately, not all patients are a candidate for this type of hip replacement surgery. It is particularly difficult to perform on patients that are overweight or who have distorted anatomy. Patients should ask their orthopedic surgeons if they are familiar with the direct anterior ap-proach and if they are an ideal candidate for that type of hip replacement surgery. Only an orthopedic hip replacement specialist can make a proper assessment.

New approach to hip replacement surgery

John Hur, MD, specializes in adult hip and knee reconstruction and trauma, as well as the direct anterior approach to hip replacement. He can be reached by calling the Methodist Sports Medicine offices at 817-1200, ext. 5010.

dOUgh InsuranceKnowing the ins and outs of flood insurance

Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to [email protected].

Commentary by Jamie ianigro

Question from lindsey J. from fishers: All the flooding and problems from the hurricane have got me thinking about a flood policy. We have a basement and have never had any prob-lems in the ten years we’ve lived in the house. What do you think?

response from Jamie ianigro:Issues: The first thing you need to know

about flood insurance is what the policy covers. A flood insurance policy will protect your prop-erty from flooding accompanying hurricanes, heavy rains and melting snows. A standard homeowner’s policy specifically excludes cover-age for all of these things.

The other thing you need to know about flood insurance is what it doesn’t cover. Flood insurance doesn’t cover water that rises up through your plumbing. This type of loss is pro-tected by using an endorsement to your home-owner’s policy called sewer & drain backup. A loss from sewer & drain backup can be just as damaging as a flood loss.

Coverage Recommendations: Most of Ham-ilton County sits in a moderate-to-low risk area when it comes to flood risk (you can check your risk at www.floodsmart.gov) and qualifies for cov-erage at the preferred rate. This policy will protect your house and its contents starting as low as $129 per year. It takes 30 days after purchase for a flood policy to take effect, so don’t wait until

the water starts rising.Sewer & Drain backup coverage is a simple

endorsement that you may already have included on your homeowner’s policy right now. Standard coverage usually starts with limits of $5,000. If you have a finished basement, $5,000 is probably not going to get you back to where you would like to be. We usually recommend upgrading that coverage to $10-25,000 to make sure you are adequately covered. Higher limits are definitely available. The cost of this endorsement varies by carrier, but is usually a very low percentage of the total cost of your policy.

Claim Prevention: The most important thing to know is when to cut and run. Your family’s safety is much more important than a house or anything you have in it. The steps you can take to prevent flood claims are pretty easy and you’re probably already doing them. First make sure your sump pump is working and has an adequate battery-powered backup, in case it loses power. Next, make sure your gutters and downspouts are free and clear of debris and ob-structions. Lastly, make sure your downspouts are getting water far enough away from the house that the water is not returning.

Commentary by Jordan fischer

Incorrect, over-enthusiastic and, frankly, odd capitalization decisions are mistakes we see fre-quently in the editing world.

I think most people remember the basic rules from English class: Do capitalize the first word of a sentence, proper nouns, the first word of a quotation, titles that precede a name, days of the week, etc. Don’t capitalize the seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter), compass direc-tions unless referring to specific regions (For example, Alabama is in the South, but it is south of Indiana.), or general subjects in school (math, physical education, health).

Of course, the beauty of our world is that there is so much more to write about beyond the basic rules. This is also the area where mis-takes start to slip in.

A big source of confusion for many people seems to come from titles and academic degrees. As I mentioned earlier, I believe most people are comfortable with what to do with a title that precedes a name: you capitalize it. For example, assuming you are reading this column on Tuesday and are 18 years old, hopefully you voted or will be voting for either President Barack Obama or Gov. Mitt Romney today (or, you know, Mickey Mouse if you’re a Disney anarchist). While the choice might be difficult for some, the rule isn’t. If a title comes before a name, capitalize it.

What if the title is somewhere else, though,

or there is no name attached to it? What if, for example, your choices on the ballot were Barack Obama, president of the United States, and Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachu-setts? Since the titles follow the name, they are considered to be used as descriptors and thus no capitalization is needed. Similarly, were you to refer to the candidates as the president and the governor, you would not capitalize their titles. The exception, since there must be one, would be if you are addressing one or the other direct-ly, in which case you would say Mr. President or Mr. Governor with a capital letter.

College degrees follow very similar capitalization rules. If they precede a name – Bachelor of Arts Jordan Fischer, for example – they get to be capital-ized. If they follow a name – Jordan Fischer, bach-elor of arts – they don’t. As I’m typing this, I notice that Microsoft Word wants the latter degree capital-ized as well. Just ignore that little green squiggly; we’re smarter than the computer on this one. As a final note, academic subjects in degrees follow the same rules as normal: Capitalize proper nouns like English and French. Don’t capitalize general courses like mathematics unless referring to a specific course: Algebra II, Modern Dance 101, etc.

Capitalization in titles and degrees

Commentary by Darla kinney Scoles

With eight women in my circle of family and friends having babies this year, the topic of nam-ing a little one has come up more than once. The naming pendulum, which once seemed to swing away from choosing an old family name for the newest member of the clan, might just be swinging back.

It seems that bequeathing a newborn with the name of a beloved grand- or even great-grand parent, favorite uncle or sibling is now in favor again. Finding and utilizing ancestral last names is more common as well, with some using them as middle names, but others finding them useful as unique first names. Some tweak the name a bit to make it more current, but the result is still the same.

A link is made between past and present.Carrying on a family name is a special way

to honor those from the past. Indeed, a con-nection is made between those family members involved, though they may have never met or formed a bond in this life. And what parent isn’t thrilled when a “junior” or “third” carries for-

ward the family name in full?When a child is old enough to ask about his

or her name and learns that it was chosen to pay homage a special person from that past, it means so much more than, “We liked the sound of that.” If information is passed on about the original bearer of the name, it often inspires the same positive traits in the namesake. (Assuming one does not name his child after lazy Uncle Charlie the lush.)

Another trend is the choosing of a name that represents the family “homeland” or country of origin, which is a special link of its own to a place most likely far away. Ancestry is then a part of the everyday, when the name is said it reminds family members of their heritage.

What’s in a name? Sometimes, there’s a lot of history there.

BEJEWLEDSoon it will be winter coat season. Instead of shelling out money for a new coat, why not update the one you have? Try replacing the buttons on your coat from last season with rhinestone encrusted or tortoise shell buttons. This will help update your outerwear without breaking the bank. Maybe now you can afford those snakeskin stilettos you have been eyeing?

STRESS LESSThe holidays can bring on much unneeded stress as you �ght the crowded stores and get stuck in rush hour traf�c. Try these �xes to minimize the damage stress can do on your body.

Take deep breaths. It may seem cliché, but at high stress moments, you may �nd yourself breathing faster, causing your heart to race as well. Slow down …and take a moment. Breathe in and out deeply several times and feel a calmness take over.

Believe it or not, “retail therapy” (“shopping”) has also proven to reduce stress by giving your brain’s pleasure centers a rush of dopamine, according to a study done at Emory University. The less stressful way to enjoy a little retail therapy is to shop online, therefore avoiding the stress-inducing crowds.

Enjoy a tension-reducing spa treatment. It also has been proven that taking time out from your normal routine and taking time to consciously relax can do wonders for stress reduction. We are here at Salon 01 to help ease your stress by offering a variety of facials, massage, manicures and pedicures. Stop in to see our full menu of services today!

OF THE YEAR FOR SMALL BUSINESSES!

WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW.

Commentary by randy Sorrell

Great vision coupled with forward design ideas can completely transform a home. And, that is what precisely happened in this nearly century old home nestled in the heart of Car-mel. Ryan Coyle, landscape architect and pro-prietor of Vive Exterior Design, is completely responsible for this inspiring delight that is too comprehensive to manage in a single article. Expect another visit in spring 2013.

Until then, lets enjoy how the entry to this ranch has been updated to something Ryan refers to as “modern / rustic,” which respects both the authenticity of the house and the neighborhood. The edgy, cedar entry pergola splashes galvanized steel as overhead members that echo the galvanized half round gutters and downspouts…a definite shout to a previous era when materials were real, and felt that way. COOL! The same architectural arbor element was repeated on the south side of the house and brilliantly flows as an extension of the primary entry arbor.

nAturAl rOCkSNot content with a traditional sidewalk,

oversized slabs of natural stone carry marveled visitors under the entry pergola and to the front porch. These 2’x3’ beauties are often lo-cally sourced and installed on a bed of sand for proper drainage. The rich tones of chocolate, coffee and caramel are repeated in the several tons of boulders responsible for grade transition and offer plenty of warm curb appeal and native planting opportunities.

Knowing Vive is to realize that there is much more to the story and his families’ residence. I can’t wait to share that with you next spring. Meanwhile, if you discover yourself driving east on Smokey Row Road from Rangeline Road, at the crest of the hill and beyond the church, wit-ness fresh evidence of what an exciting design / build / landscape vision can do.

Uncork creative ways to store wineCommentary by David Decker

Innovations in appliances, cabinetry can help you store wine with style

It’s time to think outside the barrel and explore a few cre-ative ways to store wine in the kitchen. From custom racks, to cubbies to chillers, there are a number of ways to keep your wine fresher, while adding a touch of style to the room.

Wine is a notoriously delicate beverage when it comes to storage. To preserve taste and freshness, it needs to be stored in a temperate, slightly humid location. If it’s kept too warm or too cold, it may spoil. Additionally, a lack of humidity can dry out the cork and allow air to seep into the wine bottle. It’s best to store wine with the bottle tilted horizontally to the side. With such a sensitive product, it’s important to keep all of these factors in mind when select-ing a storage solution for wine.

Wine racks have traditionally been the easiest method of storing wine. But instead of purchasing a standalone wine rack, many homeowners are choosing to integrate them di-rectly into cabinetry. Decorative racks made from latticework are available and can be installed above countertops or a refrig-erator. Or you could choose to install a series of cubbies un-derneath a counter or alongside the cabinets. Either way, these cubbies will store your wine vertically and protect the bottles from UV rays. Consider installing these racks or cubbies away from ovens or sources of heat, as these can degrade the wine over time. Wine can also be elegantly stored on custom wall shelves or racks. Many of these racks can be creatively de-signed and can act as a wall accent as well as a storage unit.

If you are an enthusiast who serves wine often, you may

want to invest in a wine refrigerator or chiller. These ap-pliances can come in many different shapes and sizes, and some models allow you to adjust the temperature zones to accommodate different types of wines. Wine refrigera-tors can even be placed underneath countertops or hidden behind a cabinet door to save space. For a fun touch, you can place miniature wine refrigerators or racks underneath a kitchen island and design your own custom wine-serving center, perfect for entertaining or dinner parties.

For the most dedicated wine lovers, a simple refrigerator may not be large or technical enough to store their wine collections. If that is the case, you may consider construct-ing a wine closet. In a wine closet, the light, temperature and humidity can all be controlled to protect the wine stored inside. You can even convert an old kitchen pantry or storage closet, so that you too can store wine like a pro.

No matter how you decide to store and display it, I think we can all agree the best part about wine is drinking it.

dogs. I provide day care, overnight care, weekend care, and extended vacations. I have a 3-bedroom ranch home with a

lovely fenced-in backyard. Your dog will be loved, spoiled, and played with and given the stability they would receive at home. I can take your dog for grooming and vet appointments and brought back to your home. References if desired.
