Brizzi, Officials react tO verdict in charlie White trial – In the days following the guilty verdict on six of seven felony charges against former Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White, Current talked to local and county officials to get their reac-tions. “I’m not surprised by any jury trials,” said Fishers Town Council President Scott Faultless, who spoke supportively of White to media during the trial. “I respect the jury system.

Scott Faultless will serve his 12th consecu-tive year as president of the Fishers Town Council after a 4-3 vote for his reelection Monday night.

Mike Colby, who served as vice president of the council last year while finishing the re-mainder of former councilor Charlie White’s term, will continue as vice president in what has traditionally been a two-year role.

“The council, as a whole, has delivered public service to the community that has been nationally recognized by repeated, objec-tive assessments and awards,” said Councilor Stuart Easley, who nominated both Faultless and Colby for reelection. “And Scott Faultless has been the town council president during this exceptional period. His contributions and service merit reelection as president.”

Faultless downplayed the election at Mon-day’s town council meeting, releasing a state-ment afterward.

“Fishers is an award-winning community unlike any other,” Faultless said. “I have had the pleasure to work alongside many talented individuals that have collaborated to make the successes possible, and I look forward to another year of accomplishments and progress.”

All three freshman council members – John Weingardt, Renee Cox and Pete Peter-son – voted nay on the motion.

Work on the upcoming expansion of St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast into St.Vincent Fishers Hospital is well under way. The project has been developed to earn a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) designation, which has been shown to increase patient and associate satisfaction while conserving natural resources.

If there’s one thing a construction site has plenty of, it’s building materials and debris — everything from wood and drywall, to concrete and asphalt. But what may be surprising to some is how much of that material is wasted. As part of its LEED initiative, St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast is taking a greener approach with its construction waste, recycling most of what it generates.

“The goal is to repurpose or recycle 75 percent of the waste generated during construction,” said Josh Hayes, assistant

project manager with Brasfield & Gorrie General Contractors. “We have individual dumpsters for recycling drywall, cardboard, wood, metals, plastic, asphalt and various types of clean-fill.”

Wood waste is chipped into mulch. The asphalt and drywall are pulverized and reused. Discarded concrete, brick or stone is crushed and sold as gravel. Anything from the existing site that can be repurposed is carefully salvaged.

Efficiency continues to be a major feature for the new hospital — right down to the brick and mortar. “We have a responsibility to the people as well as the resources of the Fishers community,” stated Gary Fammartino, the newly named administrator of the new St.Vincent Fishers Hospital. “Ensuring sustainability for the future is a must.” Completion of the project is scheduled for spring 2013.

The Emergency Services Department at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast can offer whatever care you might need in an instant — with a tender touch. “Being a smaller facility, we have a family atmosphere, and that’s what keeps people coming back to us,” ED Manager Heidi Abel said. “We’re proud of the fact that we run in the 99th percentile in patient satisfaction. That sets us apart.”

Our laboratory and imaging services are just down the hall, so patients are diagnosed quickly. Along with the adult rooms, we have rooms specially designed for our pediatric patients, and offer games and other amenities to reduce their fear and apprehension.

With an average “door-to-doctor” wait time of 15 minutes; we provide excellent patient care promptly and conveniently.

Members of four different high school drum-lines in Indiana were chosen to be part of Ma-donna’s Super Bowl XLVI halftime show: Fish-ers, Center Grove, Avon and Franklin Central High Schools.

When students of FHS were informed they had been selected, they were instructed to keep the news confidential. It was not until Madonna went on air and made a statement she would have a drumline in her show that members were allowed to inform friends. Still, they could not give specific details pertaining to the performance.

“(The atmosphere was) very strict, very fast paced and nerve wracking. A lot of people from all over the world were there choreographing, dancing and singing,” said 18-year-old Mark McCabe of Fishers.

Rehearsals began just two weeks before the Super Bowl and increased in length and intensi-ty as the performance date approached. Students had to leave from school early in order to arrive

at Lucas Oil Stadium on time for rehearsals. The day of the game, members of the drum-

lines arrived half an hour prior to performance time, and as soon as the show ended, they were escorted home.

“It was the fastest 12 minutes of my life,” said 17-year-old Joshua Ambrose. “We had to get dressed as fast as possible, and then we ran down in tunnels under the field. While they as-sembled the stage, we were rushed up, and when the show began, it was the loudest thing I’d ever heard in my entire life.”

Members of the FHS drumline agree per-forming at the Super Bowl was a great experi-ence that will leave a lasting impression. Most could not pull out a singular moment; the expe-rience as a whole was too overwhelming.

“We all walked on stage and we were as-tounded. Everyone was talking about how they had a huge rush of adrenaline,” said 15-year-old Briana Ogiego. “I would not say there was a favorite part (for me), but it makes me proud of myself, and I am probably going to remember this for the rest of my life.”

Hamilton Southeastern High School shoot-ing guard Gary Harris will play in the 2012 McDonald’s All American High School Basket-ball Games, the fast-food giant announced Thursday.

Harris, one of nearly 600 high school seniors nominated for the team, will join 24 boys and 24 girls from around the nation selected to play.

“This has been a really good year for me,” Harris said prior to the announcement. “From the way I’ve been playing lately, and the way I’ve played previously, I think I have a really good chance of making it. We’ve been winning games, so I’m trying to end my senior year on a good note.”

The players were nominated by high school coaches, athletic directors, school principals and members of the McDonald’s All American Se-lection Committee.

“It’s such an honor to be able to play and be a part of that game. I just want to experience it,” Harris said. “Ever since I started basketball, it’s been one of my goals.”

Harris, who has been playing basketball since he was 3, earned the title of top shooting guard in the nation from ESPNU this year, a TV channel that specializes in college sports. His team is ranked first in the state and 31st in the nation. Despite the pressure to stay on top, Har-ris credits his parents with helping him make decisions throughout his senior year.

“Both of my parents have been there for me. My mom Joy played college basketball and played in the WNBA, so she’s been through all the stuff I’ve been going through,” Harris said. “It’s been really good to have someone there to reassure me and just help me out when I’m struggling.”

Harris looks forward to competing with the best basketball players from around the country, possibly even some future NBA greats. Several esteemed basketball players began as All Ameri-can athletes, including Kevin Garnett, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.

The All American Game will broadcast live on ESPN on March 28 at 7 p.m. from the Unit-ed Center in Chicago. Ticket sales will benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicago-land & Northwest Indiana.

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., traveled to Indiana on Feb. 5 to picket at central Indiana churches, as well as at Lucas Oil Stadium. Counter protesters traveled from various towns to oppose Westboro at all of the locations.

From 9:30 to 10:15 a.m., protesters stood at the edge of the East 91st Street Christian Church’s property, holding vibrantly colored signs showing their religious messages. Counter protesters con-gregated on the opposite side of the street.

“I think what the Westboro Baptist Church stands for is something that has to be protested,” said 19-year-old Timothy Cox of Franklin. “I’ve seen their Web site and looked them up on You-Tube. They need to know hate won’t save.”

Cox stood alongside Taylor Childs, 16, and Kyle Casteel, 17, who both traveled from Mooresville, to be a part of the counter protest against WBC. The teens made their own signs they brought with them to the picket.

When board members of the East 91st Street church received word their church would be a picketing site on Super Bowl Sunday, a post-ing was made to inform other members about the events to take place that day. The message shared the reason for the protest against the East 91st Street church was because there was a female preacher at the church, which conflicted

with the WBC’s beliefs. In order to protect church members that

morning, board members blocked off one of the parking lots closer to the WBC demonstration, and encouraged churchgoers to use different entrances. Local authorities were also present throughout the expanse of the picket to ensure maximum safety for the members of the East 91st Street church.

“I was aware of (the protest), but I didn’t let it affect my decision to attend. I came to wor-ship,” said 51-year-old Fishers resident, Angela Erickson.

After picketing at East 91st Street, the WBC moved to Carmel Lutheran Church, from 10 to 10:35 a.m. And finally, the last picket of the day was at Lucas Oil Stadium, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Great teachers take every chance to be a posi-tive influence to their students. For Jennifer Hull, the February Marco's Pizza Teacher of the Month, every day is a new chance to make a dif-ference in the lives of her first-grade students at Sand Creek Elementary School in Fishers.

“I really just like helping to make a difference and teach them a love and joy for learning,” said Hull. “Seeing them grow throughout the year and developing their skill is really rewarding for me.”

Hull, 28, has been teaching first-grade math, science and reading at Sand Creek for four years. She says she always wanted to be a teacher for as long as she can remember, since her childhood.

“I want students to love learning and to want that desire to learn, and be the best person they can be,” said Hull.

The teachers Hull had throughout her years in school have inspired her to do the same thing for her students that her teachers did for her.

She says her biggest challenge is helping students who don’t enjoy reading, so she tries to maintain an active role in their studies by meeting with their parents to discuss ways she can help and maintain communication and involvement with the students.

“They can be successful in life and at what-ever they choose to do,” said Hull. “We want to show the students love and show them we care enough to make a difference.”

To nominate an educator who goes above and beyond the call of duty for the Marco’s Pizza Teacher of the Month, send your name, phone number and 100-word summary of why you think your nominee is deserving of the award to Managing Editor Jordan Fischer at [email protected].

MEET DIZZY GRANT

GlObETROTTING

By Jordan Fischer • [email protected]

Harlem Globetrotters guard Derick "Dizzy" Grant might play on courts around the world, but he calls Fishers home.

The 29-year-old Princeton, N.J., native – who holds the pe-culiar distinction of being the first professional basketball player to hit a four-point shot (instituted as part of the Harlem Globetrotter’s routine in 2011) – passed through Indianapolis recently to speak to area students as part of the team’s C.H.E.E.R. for Character program, and to play against the Globetrotter’s perennial opponents, the Washington Generals.

Grant sat down with Current to talk hoops, and about why he and wife, Carly, chose Fishers to make their home.

i think the obvious first question is: how does one shoot a four-pointer?grant: “We came up with the four-point shot last year. During the last three

minutes of each half, an area 35-feet away from the basket on each side of the court activates. It adds a lot of energy and excitement to the game.

(The shot) was tough at first … there were a lot of air balls. We were playing a game down at Disney World when I hit the first one. Now, I can shoot it no problem.”

the globetrotters are known for their ambassadorship in communities around the world as much as their ball-handling skills. you take time on top of the 270-game season to talk to school children as part of your c.h.e.e.r. for character program. Where does the emphasis to go above and beyond the game come from?

grant: “We as Globetrotters take it as our responsibility to go around the com-munity and help these children, because they are the future. If you go way back to when we started in 1926, there weren’t too many African-Americans playing sports. I think it started with us bringing the community together with basket-ball, and we still enjoy doing that. We embrace being ambassadors of good will.”

you’ve been a globetrotter for six years. how does one go about get-ting invited to join the team?

grant: “Everybody’s story is different. I had dreams and aspirations of play-ing professional basketball out of college. I ended up signing with the New York Nationals (also known as the Washington Generals), which is the team the Globetrotters play against.

I had no idea how to do anything. I couldn’t spin the ball on my finger. It’s up to the veterans to teach the rookies how to handle the ball.”

how much “globetrotting” do you actually do as part of the team?grant: “We play internationally for two months out of the year. Some-

thing I didn’t realize is how much the Globetrotters are loved around the world. No matter where we go, we’re the home team. I always wanted to see the Great Wall, and now I’ve been three times.”

your wife, carly, played ball at Pendleton heights high school, but you’re a new Jersey native. What made fishers stand out as the place to make your home?

grant: “Fishers was the perfect location. It’s definitely a great place

Hometown: Princeton, N.J.

Age: 29

Wife: Carly

Education: College of New Jersey

Position: Guard

Height: 6'2"

Accolades: First professional basketball player to ever hit a four-point shot.

Hobbies: “I love bass fishing. When I’m home, I’m either at Geist or down at Morse (Reser-voir) bass fishing.”

Quote: “My mom always told me, aim for the moon, because even if I missed, I’d land among the stars.”

Despite the name, the Harlem Globetrotters actually were founded on the south side of Chicago in the 1920s. Originally

called the “Savoy Big Five,” the team was renamed the “Har-lem Globetrotters” to indicate that the players were all black,

since Harlem was seen as the nexus of black culture at the time. The Globetrotters didn’t actually play a game in Har-

lem until 1968.Originally a competitive team, the Globetrotters evolved into an entertainment-centered organiza-

tion as players like Albert “Runt” Pullins and Inman Jackson began bringing their showboating flair

and dribbling skills onboard. The team has had some very notable NBA players on its roster,

however, including Wilt Chamberlain and Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton, who was the first black player to make the roster of an NBA team when he signed with the New York Knicks. Other notable honorary Globetrotters include Henry Kissinger, Whoopi Goldberg and Pope John Paul II.

Harlem Globetrotters guard Dizzy Grant talks about playing for the

most famous team in basketball, and why he made Fishers his home

to raise a family. I lived in six different states growing up, and Fishers is by far my favorite place. It’s not too big, not too small. It’s the best of both

worlds.”and when the two of you play each other … who wins?grant: “She’s a great shooter. When we play, it’s her getting my rebound

and me getting her ball out of the net.We’re expecting our first child in August. We don’t know if we’re going to

have a boy or girl yet, but either way it will have two great coaches to teach it to shoot.”

from your six years on the team so far, what sticks with you?grant: “We played on an aircraft carrier … probably one thing that

sticks out to me was entertaining troops over in Iraq. One of the funni-est things is, I tell people I love fishing and they seem surprised that a basketball player likes that.

I love what I do. I love my job. I love entertaining people around the world. But when I come home, I love it, too. It’s a win-win both ways.”

“No matter where we go, we’re the home team.”


XL pipelineIt is our position the Obama Administra-

tion’s recent decision to defer approval of the XL pipeline project was a political deci-sion adverse to our country’s best interests. The pipeline was intended to carry Canadian shale oil to refiners in the U.S., but was de-railed by nebulous environmental concerns.

In a broader sense, though, the real misfortune from the decision was a missed opportunity to develop a reliable supply of energy from a friendly source. True, the price of oil is generally determined in a global marketplace, but a dedicated pipeline from our Northern neighbor would provide some insulation from disruptions that could dev-astate our economy.

Much of the world’s oil resides in countries antagonistic to the U.S., or in regions where safe transport can be disrupted. Unstable regimes in the Middle East and Venezuela, and to some extent in Russia, leave the West vulnerable to targeted embargoes or gen-eral shortages that become a national secu-rity concern. Having a direct pipeline from America’s closest neighbor means some of our basic needs would be met, even during times of geopolitical turmoil.

VIEWS Editorial

Commentary by Terry Anker

Organizers for the now-in-the-books Super Bowl XLVI (that’s No. 46 for those of us who have not kept up with our Roman numer-als) are to be heartily congratulated for what seems regarded nationally as a standout. Dur-ing these past two weeks, I’ve read with some attention the media perspective on central Indiana. Admittedly, when Allison Melang-ton, President and CEO of the Indianapolis Host Committee started encouraging folks to knit scarves for volunteers, recruiting school kids to write welcome notes to put in visitor’s hotel rooms and branding all manner and sort of thing “super” – “Have a Super Day” – “Par-ticipate in Super Cure” – and even go to the “Super Care Clinic” if injured or unwell – it occurred all this hospitality might serve to reinforce bigoted views of middle Americans as rube residents of Hooterville.

And, yes, scores of coastal commentators begin their review of this year’s big game with remarks akin to, “It’s hard to believe Indy has

pulled it off.” Why is it hard to believe? Can’t they simply remark this was one of the best Super Bowls in years, without the ad hom-onym? Yet the very good manners I feared might expose to ridicule have been repeatedly mentioned with high praise. The homemade scarves are desired as a symbol of the warm wel-come offered. The children’s notes have been pointed to in virtually every mass medium as a highlight of the visitor experience. How can folks be so stunned by common courtesy? Still as a routine writer of old-school thank you notes, I sometimes get cards from recipients thanking me for thanking them. Have we be-come so rude a simple handwritten message is coveted? Whatever the reason, I’m happy to see politeness getting kudos. In fact, I say to those behind the effort, have a super day.

Have a super day

Happy Valentine’s Day (or, if you prefer, Happy Hallmark Holiday). If you’ve made it this far into today’s paper, you probably noticed our resident mad scientist, Art Director Zach Ross, has been busy making a cleaner, more orderly, easier-to-read Current. You probably noticed our expanded Community section. Recently-conducted readership research told us you wanted more about what moves in your community, and now you have it. Overall, the changes amount to a subtle refreshing of your weekly newspaper. We like Zach’s handiwork; we hope you do, too. Also inside today’s paper are the debuts of two sections, one a weekly, the other an annual. Night & Day is our answer to independent readership research whose results called for a more focused spotlight on all things entertainment. Headed by Entertainment Edi-tor Christian Sorrell, it will give you what you asked for each week, because you deserve noth-ing less. You’ll also find Summer Camps 2012 inside today’s paper. Jordan Fischer, one of our managing editors, did the heavy lifting on the inaugural edition. It aims to be as comprehen-sive and helpful as possible to parents making the call on their children’s summertime pursuits. When we make changes to our newspapers, it is not without thought. With very few exceptions – and we do mean very few – we have followed the research results (which really amount to your requests) to the letter. Doing so has led us to inroads we don’t believe we otherwise would have been able to make. So, to those who par-ticipated in the random sampling by the firm we hired, and to those who independently share their views with us, thank you for taking such an interest in your newspaper.

Humor by Danille Wilson

I’m used to being teased by my in-laws. My geriatric tendencies toward early dinnertimes, my defining red hair and the fact I’m the lone liberal in all of Indianapolis suburbia offers plenty of fodder for their mocking trough, and I’m usually happy to oblige. But I had to lay down the law the other night after being sub-jected to intense criticism regarding my choice of steak preparedness.

I had just agreed to split the tantalizing South African lobster and filet mignon combo with a sister-in-law, when I suggested we order the meat medium-well. She scowled at me and replied, “Medium-well? Are you crazy? That’s ridiculous.”

Disappointed and without any other meal-sharers, I ordered an individual 8-ounce filet, medium-well. The appalled server had to ask, “But with a hot-pink center?” She asked twice for clarification, certain she misheard me. Of course this brief exchange garnered a whole herd of comments from those sitting near me, all along the lines of, “Geez, Danielle, why don’t you just ask for shoe leather?” Calloused to such beef-inspired hostility, I ignored their remarks and anxiously awaited my dinner.

A short while later, a perfect-looking steak arrived. When I cut into it, however, the center

was extremely red. So I did what any unsatisfied customer would do and sent it back, amidst cries of outrage and perhaps embarrassment from the table. I even overheard Doo’s dad mumble, “If she was going to order it like that, she should have ordered chicken.” I naturally called him out: “Randy, I’m going to enjoy my steak just as much as you’ll enjoy yours, so let me order it how I want!” The “damn it” was implied.

My meat returned, and once again, it was too raw for my liking. Begging the server not to spit on it or allow the cook to brand it with a swas-tika, I sent it back once more. Finally, on the third presentation, I received a steak prepared to my liking.

Was my behavior obnoxious? I don’t think so. I’ve tried to eat rare meat and simply can’t do it without dry heaving. And when I dine out, I expect to get exactly what I order, especially if it’s expensive. I know my in-laws appreciate this on some level (subconscious though it may be), even if they can’t really understand it. Their teas-ing material was getting old anyway; it was time to beef it up. Peace out.

Stick a fork in itHumor by Dick Wolfsie

Mary Ellen has signed up for another year of Prevention magazine. This pocket-sized monthly tells you how to prevent most ev-erything except how to stop your wife from wasting another $24.95. The cover of the most recent issue caught my eye, claiming you can drop three pounds a week without exercise. I assumed I’d soon discover that to lose this weight required only giving up three little things – like breakfast, lunch and dinner. But no, it was actually 100 methods to increase what they call your “calorie burn,” or activities that help you shed some excess baggage. My own svelte physique is a result of my previous adherence to some of these suggestions, even without being aware of what I was doing. For example, No. 23 recommends you hide your remote so you have to stand up to change TV channels. Well, duh! I’ve been pawing through pillows, dead-lifting the sofa and shoving the easy chair on its side for decades looking for the darn thing. No. 73 urges you to get your Starbucks coffee “to go,” then walk briskly with your friends as you sip. Yes, and then you can walk another six blocks to the dry cleaner’s.

Friendliness is also an asset in your quest for a healthy lifestyle. Apartment dwellers should get acquainted with a person on another floor

and then, using the stairs, of course, visit as often as possible. I tried this back when I first got married. Mary Ellen didn’t like the idea and neither did Collette’s boyfriend.

Here’s a great one: Instead of sitting in that regular chair in front of your computer, buy one of those giant stability exercise balls to balance on while you work. Let me try it right now … I thknk therf may be somf drwbcks to sittinj that way whjle typinh. Finally, for pet lovers, play fetch with your dog every day. Am I missing something here? Shouldn’t you be chasing the ball? Who’s the chubby one, anyway?

Even though the article claims to list 100 examples, there are only 84. The author wants you to get up from the couch, go to the com-puter and log on to Prevention.com for the other 16. Be careful not to trip over the exer-cise ball! But if you do, make sure to walk to the emergency room.

Nutrition

Nutrition by Dr. Roger Spahr

How many diet books do you own? More than five? Perhaps you have multiple shelves in your home with diet books. Just imagine if you could have lost all the weight in pounds that your diet books weigh! Despite all the books, the data and research into the chemistry of the body points to carbohydrates, and how much and how rapidly your body has to deal with it.

Glycemic index and glycemic impact are the ways we measure how food and beverages af-fect your metabolism and body weight. Despite genetic variation, we are all subject to the laws of gravity, aging and sugar metabolism. Stress, hormones, exercise, sleep and other factors will also play their roles, but they respond to the sugar fluxes as well.

So, what is the best diet book? Believe it or not, it is a cookbook. Learning how to change the way you prepare food is as important as

your food selection. Perhaps even more, because the biggest problem people have is trying to lose weight while cooking the same way that drove their weight up initially.

Food selection can often be boiled down to the 3 P’s. That is the quick advice I give to my patients before they see the nutritionist. Eat these things only: foods you pick off trees and plants, foods you pluck out of the ground and foods you can pierce with a spear to eat … protein.

Can you pick a bagel off a tree or plant? How about pasta, soft drinks, chips, ice cream, crack-ers or french fries? There are more things you can than can’t eat. Learn to expand your diet with the three P’s to reduce your waist.

friends make yOu Overeat? – In a study published last week in the jour-nal, “PLoS ONE,” Dutch researchers invited 70 pairs of women to dine together in a lab set up to look like a restaurant. The women, they found, tended to take bites of food at roughly the same time and mimic each other’s overall eating behav-ior. This mirroring was three times more common at the beginning of the meal than at the end, however, which suggests the women, who were strangers, may have been trying to make a favorable impression on each other. Researchers say the findings help explain previous studies showing people tend to adjust their food intake – up or down – to match that of their eating companions, and tend to eat more with others than when dining alone.

Plastic cOatings added tO veggies – Now common is a practice of coating fresh fruits and vegetables – including or-ganic varieties – with edible plastic coatings to increase shelf life. So-called modified atmosphere packag-ing involves controlling or modifying the atmosphere surrounding the product to slow spoilage. This can be accomplished by coating the food with an edible film. Four basic materials used for edible films are lipids, resins, polysaccharides and proteins. These types of coatings present several potential health hazards, the most severe of which is the potential to promote the growth of foodborne pathogens if misapplied.

INSURANCE Q&A by Ryan Samuelson

Question from Robby H. of West Clay: My insurance agent is always trying to sell me an um-brella policy. Is this something I should consider adding? It just seems like an extra cost.

Response from Ryan Samuelson:It sounds like you have a good agent. I al-

ways encourage my clients to at least consider adding the extra layer of liability protection an umbrella/catastrophe policy will add. An um-brella policy is really all about having the peace of mind in knowing your family and assets are protected.

There are many ways to end up with an um-brella claim, but the most common umbrella claim is an auto accident involving multiple injuries and very costly medical bills. The other common claim is an incident on your property that results in injury.

This is definitely a topic you should discuss with your independent insurance agent to make sure you are protected by a level of coverage you are comfortable with. Most people should be pretty comfortable with a coverage limit of $1 million, but limits more than $10 million are available if you are looking for higher limits.

There are some things that make a claim more likely, such as having a pool, living on a lake, having a young driver and owning a boat/ATV/snow mobile (basically anything fun). Instead of talking about prevention this week, I want to show a couple of claim scenarios to illustrate how an umbrella policy will work.

Scenario one: The insured’s son was driving his car on a short road trip with a friend, the claimant. The car drifted off the road and into a phone pole when the son fell asleep at the wheel. The passenger was hospitalized for more than a month with broken bones and internal

injuries. The hospitalization was followed by some time in a wheelchair, but he was able to walk again after six months of physical therapy. This claim cost $800,000, with $300,000 com-ing from the auto limits and $500,000 coming from the umbrella limits.

Scenario two: The insured is having a summer barbeque and one of the guests step off the edge of a retaining wall, resulting in a spinal cord injury. He required multiple surgeries, an ex-tended hospital stay and physical therapy. This claim cost $1.8 million, with $1 million com-ing from the homeowners limits and $800,000 coming from the umbrella limits.

Why is my agent pushing for an umbrella policy?

DOUGH Personal Finance

Junk BOnds Paying handsOmely – Based on risk premiums and expected de-fault rates, high-yield bonds and leveraged loans are almost lavishly compensating

investors for their respective default risks, according to Babson Capital Manage-ment. The high-yield bond default rate is approximately 1.8 percent, while the rate for leveraged loans is near a historical low at .4 percent. The average high-yield

bond risk premium over Treasuries since 2000 has been 616 basis points, and net default losses have averaged 230 basis points during that time, providing an aver-age default-adjusted spread of 386 basis points. If we assume this is the average excess spread, the market is implying a default rate of nearly 5 percent.

Remodeling by David Decker

I can’t think of a single time one of our cus-tom home-improvement customers looked at a finished tiling job – whether floor or wall, kitchen or bath – and their first comment was, “Wow, that’s outstanding grout!”

No, they notice the tile’s material, texture, color and pattern. They experience the posi-tive energy of the tile’s visual, functional and design elements. They bask in the freshness of a new look and feel in an area of their home. They say, “Wow!”

Grout, while critical to the appearance and function of a good tiling job, usually isn’t part of that initial “Wow!” equation. In fact, grout can be compared with basketball referees or baseball umpires: They are generally only noticed when they aren’t perfect.

Early last summer, we redesigned and rebuilt a walk-in, tiled master bath shower in a very nice northside Indianapolis home. The finished shower (grout, too) looked great, was completed on time and on budget and the customers wrote a nice letter to Angie’s List … kudos to all.

Then in December, the homeowners noticed the grout in their newly-tiled shower floor was disappearing in spots … big spots. They called us, we immediately traced both the materials

used and who did the installation, reviewed all the information we had and realized this specific

batch of commercially-manufactured grout had, for reasons we still don’t know and prob-ably never will, failed.

So, we completely removed and rein-stalled the grout. The homeowners noted their appreciation we didn’t just put new grout on top of the

old, or try to blame the grout and claim our in-nocence, or bill them for the do-over.

What I like about the story is these home-owners knew who they were working with, knew who to contact with questions or prob-lems, and when the need arose, were profession-ally responded to with a responsible solution.

That was a good call.

"Our Focus is on Your Family"

Outdoor Living by Randy Sorrell

Curious what the edgy trends in luxury out-door living are so you can fashionably partici-pate? They will essentially be creative expansions of what we’ve enjoyed the last few years and can be broken into two categories.

MACROThe predominant macro trend continues

to be the growth of outdoor rooms. Although that formality will likely grow, it’s the various components of outdoor rooms most are able to enjoy.

What’s driving this fantasy with outdoor liv-ing spaces? Fun is! We’ve discovered there’s more to life than Facebook, iPads and “Dancing with the Stars.” We’ve rediscovered life outdoors, and that a little respite in the backyard with the occasional neighbor stopping by can be good for the soul, and genuinely improve our perfor-mance in other areas of life.

So, expect to read/hear/see/do more about romantic pergolas, authentic stone patios, fire features of all sorts and the most critical element of outdoor enjoyment … year-round perform-ing landscapes.

MICRODetails make all the difference, not only in

life, but in outdoor living, too. A great patio without thoughtful landscape is simply a sterile playground of bricks. Add some of your own

personality and it is transformed into an atmo-sphere you can’t wait to get home and enjoy. That’s what micro trends are about.

Edible landscapes are an effective tool of growing a few veggies among the boxwood. Sure, planning is critical for success in aesthetic and edible production. But, a purple lettuce border with rosemary and thyme tucked in the colorful perennial patch is a clever initiation, and can look stunning. And, it doesn’t have to be hidden in the backyard.

The “right plant in the right place” is finally commanding the respect deserved. Local legend Bob Altum was best at this. I recall an encoun-ter years ago when he was performing a little maintenance at a decades-old project, and it looked historically relevant because he planned for the long-term. Let’s follow his lead.

Other emerging micros: do it once and do it right, water conservation efforts, rescue/reuse/repurpose real stone, don’t fight the sight, grill and chill (my personal favorite) and going green. Let’s explore those soon.

Whether it’s macro or micro … stay home. Be moved.

Where the trends are edgier
