As with the Superman and Hulk movies, the do-over of “The Wol-verine” wasn’t markedly better than the first attempt. The new version goes for an adaptation of a popular 1980s graphic novel set in Japan, but booted most of the narrative and replaced it with a confusing mish-mash of fight scenes, wooing and, for some rea-son, a cyborg.

Memorial receives heartfelt donation

Krista Beck’s first-grade class from Geist Elementary donated $150 to Local 4416 President Tony Murray, back row, far right, Fishers Fire Chief Steven Orusa, back row far left, and local firefighters for the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighters Memorial. (Submitted photo)

By Robert Herrington • [email protected]

Students in Krista Beck’s first-grade class at Geist Elementary School came together and donated their

loose change to help raise funds for the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighters Memorial.

After all the pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters were counted the first-graders donated $150 to the project.

“It was tremendous,” Local 4416 President Tony Murray said. “It’s a really nice gesture.”

The Memorial Committee was grateful for the stu-dents’ hard work and wanted to find a special way to show their appreciation. In addition to the visit by the firefighters, the class also will receive a brick paver that will be displayed at the memorial site.

“They can visit and find their brick years from now,” Murray said.

Beck said this project has helped students re-member the sacrifice firefighters make for their com-munities and remind them that they are never too young to help others.

Local career and volunteer firefighters have come together as a committee to construct a memorial for three Hamilton County firefighters who gave their life in the line of duty. The goal is to raise $275,000 to

build the monument on the grounds of the Hamilton County Judicial Center in Noblesville by September.

Murray said small and large donations have been made – a total of approximately $20,000 since the Oct. 13 campaign kick off. Current is one of the ef-fort’s sponsors.

“A lot of interest generated is from Current’s par-ticipation,” he said. “The word is getting out… We’ve applied for some grants. We’re on our way.”

Glen Schwartz and his family donated $12,000 at the kick-off announcement.

“For us it’s a very ambitious project. We’ve received support verbally and $20,000 in the span of a few weeks. I’m very happy with the public support,” Murray said.

Murray said the first milestone is raising $30,000 for the downpayment on the bronze statue of a grieving firefighter by Arizona sculptor Nicholas Wil-son. The statue will include three bronze helmets to honor the three firefighters who died in the line of duty. In the event that another emergency worker dies tragically, another helmet will be placed.

Murray said the “100-percent original piece” takes several months to create. The park-like setting of the memorial is designed by Hittle Landscaping and in-cludes two key items: a piece of metal beam from the World Trade Center in New York City and the sculpture.

Crafting a tune – The Westfield Band Boosters recently hosted its fifth annual Holiday Craft Show at Westfield High School. The show, which has grown in attendance every year, is a fully juried show and allows only handcrafted or hand-embellished goods. Proceeds are used by the boosters to help the band and its members.

Gingerbread Village – Entice your taste buds with the smell of gingerbread, peppermints, frosting and more as you stroll through Conner Prairie’s indoor neighborhood of gingerbread creations now through Jan. 5. Constructed by professionals, novices, adults and youth alike, guests can marvel at all the creations and par-ticipate in the seek-and-find adventure. The vil-lage is open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and is included with paid admission.

Fresh air, shade and additional greenery are the byproducts of the NASCAR Green Clean Air

Tree Planting Program Delivered by UPS, a collaborative initiative with the Arbor Day Foundation.

Grand Park Sports Campus has received 90 trees on behalf of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Grand Park Marketing Manager Michelle Krc-mery said the trees were 3 to 4 feet tall and bare root. She said the trees will be planted in addi-tion to the ones in the park’s plans.

“We are also provided mulch from recycled race car tires,” she said.

The NASCAR Green program works closely with its affiliated motor speedways to select a local recipient for the program’s trees. Grand Park Sports Campus was chosen by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway due to its fo-cus on youth sports, which aligned well with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s youth initiatives.

“We’re happy to align with Grand Park in order to further our mission of moving youth forward,” stated Mike Kirks, manager of marketing promo-tions at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “It’s very satisfying to see this program continue to grow and help our community.”

NASCAR Green was created by NASCAR in 2008. Its original goal was to plant 10 trees for every green flag dropped during a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. During that time more than

6,000 trees were planted. The program joined with UPS in 2013 and has grown to involve more than 20 local tree-planting events and planting more than 8,000 trees throughout the year.

Beazer Homes celebrated the opening of its newest model home on Nov. 16. On Nov. 25. An

employee luncheon and rib-bon cutting with Westfield officials was held at Walnut

Ridge Estates, at the southeast corner of 169th Street and Carey Road.

Regional Marketing Manager Raegan Potter said Beazer offers six home designs in Walnut Ridge, ranging from three to six bedrooms and 2,339 square feet to 3,195 square feet. Starting prices are $342,900 to $354,900. All homes will feature a basement, side load three-car garage and brick exteriors.

“The Walnut Ridge community has 40 devel-oped lots and will be built in two phases of 20 homes,” Potter said. “The first home is under construction now.”

Walnut Ridge is one of three Beazer Homes’ neighborhoods in Westfield. Andover is in the closeout phase with fewer than 10 homes avail-able, and the brand new Keeneland Park at 168th Street and Spring Mill Road does not have a model home yet.

Potter said the Walnut Ridge model home will be offering cookies, cocoa and candy canes dur-ing the fourth annual Downtown Business Deco-ration and Lighting Competition from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 7. For more information, call 602-1493.

Grade/Subject at what school: Kindergar-ten, Monon Trail Elementary

Number of years teaching: FiveBackground/Schooling (college &

high school): Karns High School, Knox-ville, Tenn.; and bachelor’s in elementary education, Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville, Tenn.

Why did you become a teacher? I come from a long line of educators and knew from an early age that I wanted to be a lifelong learner myself and instill that same passion in others. Elementary educa-tion was a perfect fit for me because I enjoy spending time with kids and creating real world learning experiences for them.

What goals do you have for your stu-dents? Children are naturally curious, therefore I want to promote and enrich that curiosity through a hands-on, explorative approach to learning and problem-solving. I will differentiate learning so that all students are successful. I want my students to feel empowered and intrin-sically motivated to learn. I want my students to be responsible and productive learners and

participants in their school and community.What do you encourage parents to do

at home to help their children strengthen particular skills? Reading every night to your child is essential to building other skills in all academic areas. Just as students need to be properly fed and cared for, reading to them nourishes their brain as well and makes school so much more fun. Reading together is one of the most valuable bonding times between parent and child. In addition to

reading daily, take time to go over papers that come home from school.

What is your favorite movie? Remember the Titans

Who is your favorite musician or band? Zac Brown Band

What’s something your students might not know about you? I was fortunate to get to live in Europe and spend part of my high school years in Geneva, Switzerland. I have traveled extensively in Europe and have a broad perspec-tive of how kids all over the globe are more alike than they are different.

Schedule of events

City planning to make Westfield in Lights bigger and better

COvEr STOrY


Amanda Jackson, special events coordinator for the City of Westfield, has a daunting task. While she was hired earlier this

year and has never attended Westfield in Lights, Jackson is charged with making Dec. 7th’s event the best it has ever been.

“I’ve talked with many people and the Downtown Westfield Association had a lot of event photos,” she said. “I’m looking forward to getting the community involved with performances that bring everybody together. What better reason to come (to)downtown? This is an opportunity to do so.”

This year is also the first time the city is in charge of hosting the event, and a few changes were in order.

“We’ve been talking with people who attended and asking what they really enjoyed and what didn’t work so well,” Parks Director Melody Jones said.

The goal of the event remains the same – providing some-thing fun to do in Westfield and establishing that sense of

place in downtown.“I personally think it’s

all about coming together during the holiday season,” Jones said. “We want people to start thinking about downtown as the heart of the community, a place to make connections. Always have something to do and friends to meet there – a catalyst for community activities.”

Organizers said this year’s attractions are at more con-venient locations.

“We’re expanding upon the existing things taking place and using our Main Street facility,” Jones said. “It’s going to be famil-iar for people who attended in the past.”

Organizers are also focusing on small details to build on past experiences.

“We’re adding in just a little bit to hopefully stand out a little,” Jackson said. “We’re adding the small de-tails that might have been overlooked.”

One of the biggest chang-es for the event is the date. Instead of being on a Friday evening, the decision was made to shift the event to Saturday and make it a little earlier – and longer (4:30 to 8:30 p.m.).

“I think it will increase attendance,” Jones said. “It’s more convenient for people that work or volunteer to get to the event. Overall it works better for everybody.”

One item of focus was creating better lighting to make it saf-er to walk around to all the activities. Jones said 420 luminaries will line the streets and walkways. Traffic also will not be an issue as Union, Penn and Cherry streets will be barricaded.

“There will be no vehicle interaction. We really looked at the

safety aspect of the event,” Jones said.“We want to make it safe, fun and family friendly … the com-

munity embraces the event and feels comfortable coming out,” Jackson said.

The event begins with a parade led by Santa and Mrs. Claus via a horse-drawn carriage from the Union Street Asa Bales Park entrance. Santa will travel along Penn Street from Union Street to Cherry Street. After completing the parade and before the two help turn on the lights, the Clauses will be hearing gift requests from eager children.

“Goldberg Photography will be taking pictures with Santa and putting them in commemorative frames,” Jones said.

Some of the other highlights of this year’s event include a live reindeer and Silly Safari show, live nativity by the Westfield Friends Church, six food trucks, a boutique truck, live entertain-ment and a marketplace, which will be selling candy-cane glow sticks, bracelets, necklaces and aviator glasses, hot cocoa and glasses that turn Christmas lights into reindeer or snowmen

“We’re selling the neatest things. Every kid is going to want one,” Jones said, adding the items will range a few dollars with all proceeds going into next year’s Westfield in Lights fund.

Instead of using the wooden stage next to the tree, West-field is borrowing Noblesville’s temporary stage, which is larger, brighter and has better sound equipment. The main stage will be along Union Street in the area of the former farmers market.

“The entertainment is expanding both in City Hall and on the main stage. We’re highlighting performers throughout our community,” Jackson said.

The same lighting compa-ny will be used to illuminate the city tree, but this year won’t have the same look as previous ones.

“We’re doing a little bit more with the light-ing,” Jones said. “It’s going to be impressive.”

The lighting will be a little different this year on the city Christ-mas tree. (File photos by Robert Herrington)

one political affiliation, religious order or division of race. There are those who might allege that we in current times are more inclined to deceit. They point to infidelity, situational ethics and a general reordering of traditional measures of virtue. Perhaps. Yet, I cling to the idea that we all have the capacity given us by free will. We each can choose to use our abilities to be clear, hon-est and direct in our interactions with others. Or, we can choose not.

A friend reminded me recently of the parable of a young George Washington being asked by his father if he’d cut down the cherry tree.

Today, his response would likely be “I cannot put that forward in a way that unequivocally ends up not being accurate.”

Commentary by Terry Anker

Writers like words. A clever turn of phrase is a thing of beauty. It can make us see the world in a new way. It can make us smile. It can deliver the poignant so that it penetrates our defenses and helps us rise to a greater level of under-standing. We greatly admire the masters of our language – the great communicators.

But as Stan Lee, father of DC Comics’ iconic hero Spiderman, wrote in “Amazing Fantasy” in 1962, “with great power there must also come great responsibility.”

Those gifted with the authority to sway oth-ers with their words must be ever vigilant to use the power only for good. In a time where political and other leaders run fast and loose with the truth, they justify all manner of prevarication obsessed with some narcissistic knowledge that, because they know best, the ends justify the means. But, can we ever really rationalize lying to get what we want? It is not a new phe-nomenon, to be sure. And it is not restricted to

Some have transpired, and others are to come. All in all, it’s hats-off time to all the area show choirs, choral groups and their affiliates at local high schools. Their holiday shows are packed with high-caliber entertainment and the kind of vibes we all need to get beyond the guns-and-butter news of the day. When you attend, and we urge you to do so, keep in mind these kids and their teachers also work full time at instruction and learning. This so-called and extracurricular activity is anything but that. They work their tails off – some starting as early as late summer – to make sure the kickoffs to the holidays are jolly days. It’s affordable entertainment delivered with high levels of enthusiasm. We hope you’re able to show the actors, vocalists, musicians, directors and stagehands the same in return. (Check your high school’s website for perfor-mance dates and times.)

will: Current Publishing recently topped a value of $1 million in total sponsorships since its Oct. 24, 2006, launch. We’re proud of that, and we’re suckers for not-for-profit causes.

After a year of discussions, meetings, pend-ing approvals and waiting, a decision has been made – and depending on your opinion it’s a great or terrible day in the history of Westfield.

On Nov. 25, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved the transfer of West-field’s water and wastewater utilities to Citi-zens Energy Group. The acquisition is expected to close by mid-January.

The transfer provides the city, employees and residents with the following terms:

1. Westfield receives approximately $40 million for much needed infrastructure including new streets, sidewalks and walking trail expansions.

2. The sale eliminates Westfield’s $45 mil-lion utility debt.

3. Existing Westfield utility employees will be retained for their experience and knowledge.

4. The current five-year schedule of mod-est utility rate increases previously ap-proved by the Westfield City Council will be retained.

So what’s next?Over the next five weeks, Westfield and

Citizens will finalize the financial transaction to complete the transfer. Meanwhile, plans will be completed for an efficient transition for Westfield Utilities’ 10,000 customers.

When the transfer is complete, officials said customers will notice few changes to their utility service. The only significant changes are Citizens will not bill customers for trash and stormwater service, and a new utility phone number will be established. Starting in Febru-ary, Westfield residents will receive a quarterly trash and stormwater bill from the city.

In about a year, Citizens will reformat the current water and wastewater bill to include comparative usage data to help customers track their usage. At the same time, Citizens also will offer new payment options including automatic bank transfer, new payment loca-tions and budget billing, which allows cus-tomers to pay the same amount each month based on annual usage.

Editor,My name is Mallory, and I am a 21-year-old

social work student, so one can see how I am surrounded by many “Liar in Chief” fans. I loved your article because it shows the other side to this whole tax the wealthy movement.

Obama has made it seem that wealthy people have no right to their money, yet they are often the ones making huge advances in our world. Philanthropy in the private sector has a huge

impact on our world, and those people aren’t forced. Let’s not be socialists.

Also, I am disgusted by the “bait and switch tactics” that have been used on the American people. Sadly, Obama and his corrupt posse are never reprimanded for the lies that pour from their mouths. I just never realized how corrupt our government can be and get by with it. Great article.

Editor,Hamilton County lost a wonderful man this week. The Rev. Bill Cun-

ningham passed away peacefully in the presence of his family. Bill’s obituary will describe his many accomplishments, but we knew him for years as our chaplain here at Riverview Hospital. Bill’s faith was mani-fested in the kindness he showed the patients and staff of Riverview Hospital. Even in his passing, he remained considerate and kind to all those around him. He died with tremendous grace and dignity.

I know I speak for the whole Riverview family in expressing our sad-ness in his passing and expressing our condolences to his family.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

As a high school teacher, I deal with all types of parents. Honestly, most are terrific. They

respect what I am trying to do for their son or daughter and trust me as a professional to make the right

decisions in the classroom. If and when an issue arises, they encour-

age their teenager to take the lead in resolving matters and only get involved when absolutely necessary.

I like to think that Doo and I fall into this cat-egory, but sometimes I’m not so sure. What if we are actually [insert whisper] helicopter parents?

Never heard of a helicopter parent? Well, trust me, you’ve probably met one. These are the men and women who hover incessantly over their children. They never allow little Suzy to fail at anything, or fight her own fight. They refuse to let their precious angel out of their sight for fear something might happen that they cannot con-trol. And God forbid their Tommy gets an F.

Admittedly, my first instinct when one of my own kids scores poorly on a test or does not make a school sports team, is to blame the teacher or coach. (I occasionally dwell in La La Land with Tom Brady and my four perfectly-per-fect offspring. We live off old money in Tuscany and vacation in Davos.) I revert to Mama Bear mode and want to defend my child at all costs.

Am I a helicopter parent?Luckily, the teacher in me and my real spouse

quickly step up. They remind me that 99 times out of 100, my child didn’t complete his home-work, forgot to study or took a nap during class. His teacher had absolutely no role in the failure. I am forced to accept that my child has made a poor decision, and therefore must handle the repercussions.

But watching them fail and take responsibility for their actions is really hard for me. After all, what parent enjoys seeing his or her children struggle? But Doo and I are determined to avoid a “Failure to Launch” movie scenario. We believe strongly that they should be the ones communi-cating with their teachers, advocating for help, and charting their own course to success. We’re here to redirect when they wander off, but we’re not going to stop that initial step off the path.

So maybe I’m not actually a helicopter parent. I certainly have that instinct to perform frequent fly-overs and keep a constant watch on them, but, honestly, I’m too selfish to spend my days micromanaging the ups and downs of our kids’ lives. I’d rather be daydreaming about Tom and the Swiss chalet. Peace out.

As a Russian native and student dancer in “Nutcracker” productions in her home coun-

try, Alyona Yakovleva-Randall is a strong proponent of tradition. Tradi-tion is also a teaching tool when it

comes to ballet. So the fourth production of the “Nutcracker” that she has mounted for the Indi-ana Ballet Conservatory has a practical reason for not changing much, except to take into ac-count shifting abilities and skills in each year’s large, primarily student cast.

“I try to keep the tradition going and may make a little adjustment, because every year I’m dealing with the changing potential of the students and the talent,” she said.

She explained that this year’s production uses 150 students, divided into two casts over six performances. With so many involved, Yakov-leva-Randall wants to enlist older students in passing on “Nutcracker” tradition.

“I want my students to memorize it and give it to students later,” she said. “I hope when they have their own schools they will treat their stu-dents the same.”

It’s inevitable that ballet schools of the future will also be mounting the “Nutcracker.” The con-servatory estimates that 750 productions are performed annually in the United States alone. Holiday productions are often what enables a ballet company to balance its books.

Growing up in Russia’s third largest city of Novosibirsk, Yakovleva-Randall was thoroughly embedded in this ballet as a young student.

“It was a mandatory production for all stu-dents,” she recalled, “part of the curriculum during eight years of education at the conser-

vatory. I danced every part, from the smallest mouse through Masha (the girl called “Clara” in many productions) and the Arabian Dance and the Sugar-Plum Fairy.”

For the second consecutive year, the conser-vatory’s “Nutcracker” uses backdrops from the George Verdak Trust. Verdak was associated with Butler Ballet for many years and modeled props and backdrops in his productions on those used in the original 1892 “Nutcracker,” which premiered the year before Tchaikvsky’s death.

Lasha Khozashvili, a principal dancer with the Boston Ballet, returns for the third time to reprise the role of the Prince.

A conservatory student of distinction, Miko Fogarty, will appear as Masha. In this version she is also transformed into Act II’s Princess and Sugar-Plum Fairy. Fogarty had a major role in the documentary film, “First Position” and

was gold medalist in this year’s Moscow Inter-national Ballet Competition.

Yakovleva-Randall touts the Vainonen version as superior for its depiction of Masha as re-warded with elevation to Princess and a tour of the Land of Sweets because of her compassion and bravery. In Act I she fights off the maraud-ing mice, helping the Nutcracker doll.

“It’s all about miracles that come to Masha because of her kindness and very good heart,” she said. But she allows that audiences can also take it as a pleasant Christmas dream, too, if they prefer.

Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

Now is the perfect time to think about Christ-mas gifts for the tailgater. The pre-Christmas sales are in full swing and tailgating gear - a lot of which is camping gear - is out of season and marked down in price for clearance. With plenty of opportunities for good buys, make sure you put some thought into your gift choices.

The important thing to remember is that buy-ing tailgating gear for a loved one is like buying a tie - they usually will not like your choice.

To minimize that risk, why not have them indi-cate what they would like?

Go online to www.tailgatershandbook.com and check our Christmas gift suggestions. Ask them to pick out items they want and then you can buy online or look for these things in local stores. Next week we’ll highlight some specific products. Here’s a general-category starter list to get the discussion going:

• Coolers• Tailgating flags and poles• Folding tables and chairs• Grills or portable stoves• Tents or canopies and weights to hold them

down in the wind

For that big shopping day you can start things out right with these Cinnamon Bars and a good cup of coffee.

Cinnamon BarsIngredients: 2 cups flour, 1 cup buttermilk, 1

1/4 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 cup soft margarine, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 3 Tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 stick butter

Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, granulated and brown sugars, and margarine. Using low heat, mix until crumbly. Press two cups of this mixture into an ungreased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. To the remaining mixture, add soda, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, buttermilk and egg. Mix well and pour over packed portion. Bake 20 minutes and then cool for at least 30 minutes. For frosting, mix butter, milk, powdered sugar and almond extract. Apply evenly.

The 1940’s-style ensemble, Five By Design, will perform two Christmas shows on Dec. 14 at the

Palladium with the Carmel Sym-phony Orchestra.

The Minnesota-based vocal quintet features Lori Carpenter-Niska, Catherine Scott, Kurt Niska, Michael Swedberg and Ter-rence Niska. The group is comprised of two brothers, a husband and wife and a childhood friend, and they’ve been singing together since 1986. They have toured the United States, Cana-da and countries abroad with hundreds of sym-phony orchestras, including an east coast tour with the Boston Pops for Christmas 2012 .

They also have created theatrical productions such as “Radio Days,” “Club Swing” and “Stay Tuned,” in which they present the music of big-band-era legends such as Glenn Miller, Tommy

Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie.

“We are honored to perform on a stage on which Michael Feinstein has performed,” said the group’s spokesperson, Alton Accola. “We are also passionate advocates of the Great Ameri-can Songbook, and we are delighted to come to Carmel and perform at the Palladium, where the work of the Songbook is being preserved.”

Five By Design has worked with CSO Conduc-tor David Bowden many times over the last 10 years, and they are excited to rekindle the part-nership. They will arrive in Carmel several days in advance to rehearse with the symphony.

& MOST EFFECTIVEREMOVAL OF TATTOOS.

Commentary by Larissa Day Walz, MD

If eating healthy is on your “to-do” list this holiday season, take heart. With planning and

helpful nutritional information, there are easy ways to eat healthier during the holidays

– and still enjoy some of your favorite seasonal foods. In fact, knowing just a few good food substitutes can help trim calories from holiday meals without compromising flavor, and boost nutritional value. Here are some examples:

• Instead of using oil in baked goods, choose non-fat yogurt or applesauce.

• Fat-free chicken broth and yogurt can be used in place of cream in dips, mashed potatoes and casseroles. Substitute light cream cheese and low-fat milk in recipes.

• Skip the eggnog, which is loaded with fat and calories. Sparkling water and low-calo-rie punch are two festive alternatives.

• Consider roasting sweet potatoes instead of serving a traditional sweet potato casse-role. Adding a spray of butter and sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on top make roasted sweet potatoes a delicious holiday treat.

• Grilling and roasting meat, seafood and vegetables are simple, flavorful ways to prepare foods and help cut down on the need for heavy sauces and creams.

• Traditional appetizers often contain lots

of fat and calories. For lighter, healthier options, try whole wheat crackers with reduced-fat cheese, shrimp cocktail, hum-mus or black-bean dip with raw vegetables, and fruit skewers.

• Simply prepared vegetables and fruits make great side dishes for holiday meals and are healthy substitutes for dishes with gravy or cream sauces.

• Pumpkin pie is a more healthy choice if you’re serving pie for dessert. Make it with non-fat evaporated milk and top with fat-free whipped topping to reduce calories.

• For a different take on holiday desserts, serve chocolate-covered strawberries.

It can be a challenge to maintain healthy habits during the holiday season. Balance indul-gence at family gatherings and holiday parties by attempting to eat healthy the remainder of the time. Make sure your regular weekly meals include plenty of fruits and vegetables and stock up on healthy snacks. In addition to making wise nutritional choices, remember to stay active and work some exercise into your busy holiday schedule.

INSUrANCE

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Jennifer L. from Carmel: My mom and dad head to Florida after Christmas, and their house sits empty until spring when

they come back. Is their house OK insurance-wise or could we have a problem?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Congratulations to them, and I hope you get a chance to go visit and escape the Indiana winter. A couple of fac-tors come in play when we talk about unoccupied homes and insurance.

Notice I didn’t say va-cant homes.

Let’s start with the difference between vacant and unoccupied. Figuring out the difference be-tween a vacant home and an unoccupied home is as easy as walking in the front door.

Unoccupied homes might be a little chilly or a little warm, but people are obviously still living there. It will look like someone could have just left or might be home shortly. A vacant home is going to be pretty much empty and it will be obvious that people are not living there. The fridge will be empty, most of the furniture will be gone, etc.

Insurance carriers will not insure an unoccu-pied home and a vacant home at the same price

DOUgH

Snow birds need to adjust insuranceor coverage levels. A vacant dwelling requires a special policy and is much more costly than a common homeowners’ policy. Your independent insurance agent can help you find a vacant home policy or elaborate further if you think your home might be vacant.

Each insurance carrier is different, but you can start to lose coverages if your home is unoc-

cupied for a certain period of time. The big two that usually drop off would be coverage for vandalism and coverage for losses caused by a plumbing failure like freezing pipes. These claims can both be costly, so it is very im-portant to know and un-

derstand your policy provisions if you’re a snow bird. Coming back from a winter vacation to a ruined house can be made a lot worse by finding out your insurance carrier is denying all or major parts of your claim.

The important takeaway here is to make sure you understand your insurance policy before you fly south for the winter.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

“Bipolar” is not a noun.I begin my column this week because this

drives me crazy and I wanted to make a defini-tive statement about it. Lately I hear people use this word incorrectly all

the time – and not just lay people, but people who are ostensibly medi-cal professionals.

(Let me take a moment here to say that whatever shorthand medical profes-sionals choose to use amongst themselves or in a clinical setting is perfectly alright with me. We’re talking here about the world outside the hospital walls.)

I see this in documentaries a lot: The narrator will be describing a patient, everything will be going swimmingly, and then that horrible phrase: “He has bipolar.” Not, “he is bipolar,” but, “he has bipolar.” Bipolar what? Is this a cellular service provider I’m not aware of?

“Bipolar” is an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns. Adjectives are not nouns. You would not say a person “has fancy.” You wouldn’t say a person “has acute.” You would say they have a fancy watch, or they have acute tonsillitis. These words are meant to modify nouns – not to stand on their own.

In the case of a word like “bipolar” in a health

On adjectives mistaken for nounscontext, this misuse is especially troubling because it is intended to serve as a compound noun: “bipolar disorder.” Here we have enough information: a disorder characterized by alternat-ing episodes of mania and depression.

I will concede that some adjectives have gained acceptance to be idiomatically used as nouns: “the rich and the famous,” “the young and the restless,” etc. Merriam-Webster editor-at-

large Peter Sokolowski wrote an informative piece on the very subject, concluding that while specific adjectives may

be used as nouns in these cases – with many or most understood to refer to classes of people – they are still not defined as nouns. They are simply adjectives used poetically, if you will.

Words like “bipolar” don’t have the idiomatic currency to stand as nouns, and using them as such is awkward and grating to the ear – not to mention incorrect. To me, saying “bipolar” when you mean “bipolar disorder” is like bringing ice to a party when you were supposed to bring “ice cream.” It’s not right, and everyone is going to be disappointed in you.

Commentary by John Mikesell

It’s that time of year again – the holidays are on us already. Time for family and friends and

being very careful with our pets. We need to be diligent about not letting our furry family get into those turkey

bones or the candy and desserts that follow. Owners also need to be watchful of the door. With all the comings and goings and your pet might just slip out the door, which is why own-ers should have their pet microchipped or, at the very least, have some sort of identification on their collar.

The following are a few ideas if you find a stray dog:

1. Take him to your local shelter. Don’t panic, you don’t have to leave him there if you are concerned that your local shelter is un-safe, unclean or poorly managed. If the dog has as owner who is actually trying to find

the dog, the owner will most likely come to the shelter to look for the dog. Few people, except the most dedicated owners, think to read the ads in the classified section or on craigslist.

2. Ask the shelter staff to scan the dog to see if he has an implanted microchip. If he does, the staff should be able to help you track down contact information for the dog’s owner. This seems like a no-brainer, but it is not always our first thought.

3. If he does not have a microchip, and you don’t want to leave him at the shelter, you should at least file a “found dog” report at the shelter. This protects you in case you end up deciding to keep the dog. It shows that you made a reasonable effort to find the dog’s owner. If the owner shows up some time later and wants his dog back, you’ll need to be able to prove that the attempt was made in order to protect

your right to the dog. Some shelters take a photo of the dog for their “found dog” reports and file those online.

4. Take a photo of the dog and make a “found dog” flier. Post it in as many places as you can in the area where you found the dog. Most dog owners look at posters for lost or found pets, and many of us are more familiar with our neighbors’ pets than their owners. This way, you are recruiting a small army of people who might be able to help reunite the dog and his owner.

5. If you bring the dog home, take immediate steps to protect your pets. Check to see if the dog is infested with fleas. If the an-swer is yes, you’ll want to use some sort of potent flea control product immediately, before the fleas can populate your car or home. If your dogs are not fully vaccinated, or are immune- suppressed, you may want to keep the stray dog as far from your dog

as possible for at least a few days. Wash your hands well after handling the stray, and clean up his waste immediately.

Don’t take anything for granted; be careful at feeding time. Be sure to protect all of your fam-ily members from being attacked by the stray, until you’re certain no attack is forthcoming. When your own dog is great with kids, cats, and your parakeet, it’s easy to forget that other dogs may be highly predatory. When Carolyn’s dog got away from her shortly after she brought her home from a rescue, we had more than 100 posters up within a few hours. We got her back the next day. Always be sure to check with your local recue groups if your own pet becomes lost.

Holidays are fun, but be careful your pets don’t escape

Commentary by David Decker

Durable, water resistant and available in a wide array of designs: tile has remained one of

the most popular flooring choic-es on the market. Upgrading your tile flooring is a high-impact way

to refresh the look of your kitchen or bathroom. Best of all, tile installation is relatively easy, and can be done quickly if the right steps are taken.

Tile comes in a wide variety of materials, but the two most popular options are ceramic and porcelain. While they are marketed as being very different materials, porcelain and ceramic are actually manufactured in a similar way. Both are made from a clay-based material that is fired in a kiln, but porcelain tile is more refined, leading to a denser, harder material. This density gives porcelain tile an edge over ceramic when it comes to water absorption rates. It also makes the tiles a bit more expensive than their ceramic counterparts. Porcelain tile absorbs less water, which means it is less likely to expand, contract and crack during periods of freezing and thawing if you are using the tile outside. If you live in a colder climate, you may want to select porcelain over ceramic, simply because it is more durable.

Although porcelain and ceramic are two of the most popular options, they are far from the only tile materials on the market. Stone, quarry, glass and metal tiles are materials that you may want to research and consider depending on the size

The style of tile flooringand scope of your project. Each type of material brings a slightly different look and maintenance procedure, so research carefully.

The following characteristics are also impor-tant to keep in mind when planning a new tile design:

Size: Tile come in a huge variety of sizes, so don’t feel confined to the old 4-by-4-inch or 6-by-6-inch standard tile sizes. Select larger tiles if you you’d like to make a space look bigger. Or if you’d like to generate a more intricate design, small mosaic tiles may be perfect for your kitch-en or bathroom.

Shape: Square has always been the standard shape for tile. These days, many designers are switching it up and creating tiles that are rect-angular, circular or other innovative shapes.

Texture and Color: The combination of these elements plays a big role in the overall look of the tile. Keep them top of mind when making your decision.

Direction: Changing the orientation of your tile can radically change the entire look of the design. Try vertical or diagonal patterns for a modern style.
