Heritage girls earn distinction
By Lauren Olsen • news@currentnoblesville.com
Noblesville’s Ciara Bright, 18, and Jessie Hartline, 18, have earned the highest recognition the American Heritage Girls has to achievement offer – the Stars and Stripes Award. The girls are seniors at Noblesville High School and members of White River Christian Church. “The award definitely made me feel like I accomplished a big achievement of mine, I feel very accomplished to finish something that I started,” Hartline said. A requirement of the award is planning, developing and providing leadership to others in a service project of at least 100 hours. For her project, Hartline worked with White River Church and its Global Expansion team to create educational materials to be used at a school in the Mathare Valley of Kenya. She was inspired to help WRCC Global Expansion team two years ago when the church raised money to build the school. “It’s not just going to affect the kids; it’s going to affect the family, the schools and the community,” Hartline said. Hartline and her team of volunteers spent more than 100 hours making English/Swahili flash cards, books and other educational materials for the school. “It feels good to know I’m helping the kids in Africa, they are half a world away. They will be so excited to receive these flash cards, it will mean so much to them,” she said. Bright chose to serve Prevail Advocacy Center, an agency providing women with emergency help, by organizing their supply closet and building much needed shelving for them. She was inspired to help Prevail while on a fifth grade school field trip where she was involved in making blankets and teddy bears for the center. Bright and her team of volunteers spent more than 100 hours sorting and organizing the closet supplies and building shelving in the closet so that the center could more easily help the women they serve daily. Bright was unavailable for comment as this issue went to press. Members of American Heritage Girls Troop IN2324, Hartline and Bright are the 90th and 95th girls nationally to earn the prestigious Stars and

Stripes Award. Hartline has been a member of this troop for 11 years and Bright for five years. Each served as patrol leaders within the troop.

DVD Review James Gandolfini may not have been most people’s idea of a romantic lead, with looks like an ex-jock gone to pot and wallowing in anger. But the late actor showed just how much charisma he harbored in his balding, paunchy body in “Enough Said,” an affecting romantic drama from writer/director Nicole Holofcener.

Firearms safety session
Decorating If your windows endured the subzero nights without the benefit of a covering, the energy lost will probably be visible when the next gas bill arrives – regardless of how energy efficient your windows might be. Any type of covering over a window in the dead of winter is better than nothing. Even a quilt tacked to keep the cold in its place is better than exposed glass when the thermostat dips.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a free public education forum on firearms safety from 7 to 8 p.m. Jan. 16 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds. This meeting will focus on what gun owners can do to promote responsible weapon ownership. Read more at currentnoblesville. com

Bowen seeks sheriff re-election
for 6 1.9% 0 mo nths
By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com
Sheriff Mark Bowen is not ready to give up his spot as top cop in Hamilton County. “It’s gone by very quickly,” he politics said after submitting his candidacy paperwork at the Hamilton County Elections Office on Jan. 8. “It’s hard to believe it’s time to file again.” Bowen, who has worked 22 years in the county sheriff’s office, is seeking a second four-year term. “I’m proud to be the elected sheriff. I want to continue to serve the citizens in that capacity for the next four years,” he said. Bowen said his first priority is – and will continue to be – public safety. “We all know some serious events have happened in Hamilton County. My goal is to aggressively target the criminal element and work with the prosecutors and courts to pursue those individuals to the fullest extent of the law,” he said. Challenges facing the elected sheriff include the ongoing radio and software system upgrades. “It’s a challenge for all of us in the public safety arena,” Bowen said. “A countywide training facility is being discussed along with the radio system upgrade. We’re working as a team here in Hamilton County.” Bowen, who is unopposed as of press time, said the biggest challenges in his eyes are technology moving forward and trying to keep crime at bay in Hamilton County.

“Budgets are always a concern. It was difficult my first year or two,” he said, adding his department has come in under budget the past few years. The opportunity to help people is Bowen’s favorite part of his job. “Working with folks in collaborative efforts to keep citizens safe in Hamilton County,” he said. “Keeping Hamilton County as the No. 1 place to live, work and raise a family.” As with his first election, Bowen plans to use grassroots campaigning. “I’ll reach out to as many people as possible,” he said. “Certainly, the experience is very beneficial. I know what to expect. My hope is to be uncontested but if not I’ll strategize and put together a quality campaign.”

Program aims to grow tree advocates By Chris Bavender • news@currentnoblesville.com For the past nine years, Hoosiers have had the chance to learn about the value of urban forests in Indiana through the Environment Indiana Community Tree Steward Program. Participants spend close to 18 hours on the course, which is a combination of lecture and hands-on training with a test at the end. “This is a class that is for any and everyone. You don’t have to be a master gardener or an arborist, just an interest in learning and trees,” said Carrie Tauscher, Indiana Department of Natural Resources Urban Forester and Volunteer Coordinator. “Everyone has a different learning curve and we understand that. The best thing is that everyone will learn something they didn’t know and hopefully will know what to do with that knowledge when the class is over.” The tree steward program was developed in 1995 by Pam Louks, of the DNR Forestry division, to engage Hoosiers in various aspects of urban forestry to generate a base of advocates. There are currently more than 1,000 tree stewards around Indiana. “I hope to grow advocates in communities who understated the benefits and value of trees in our Indiana communities. I also hope they take away a curiosity about their own communities, HOA’s, landscapers tree-care practices,” Tauscher said. “There has been an extreme amount of research in the field of Arboriculture in the past 10 to 20 years. It’s still a young science (relatively speaking) and many practices have changed in the past five years. My hope is to expedite the learning curve, answer questions and stop the perpetuation of improper practices when it comes to caring for our trees.” Joe Stasey, one of the instructors, has taken the course twice. “I am a Master Gardner and was on the tree committee for Hamilton County Master Gardeners and we are going out and trimming trees in places like West Park and schools and we sell trees in the spring so I wanted to be knowledgeable,” he said. “It’s the largest thing growing in our yards so it makes a lot of sense to be knowledgeable about that.” The program focuses on proper site selection, tree identification, proper tree maintenance, and identification of hazard trees and tree problems.
Participants in the Indiana Community Tree Steward Program become advocates for urban forests. (Submitted photo)
Once the course is completed, participants are asked to volunteer for 15 hours in their community or with state urban forestry programs doing anything from planting trees to giving presentations on the care of trees. The next session of the Tree Steward program is scheduled for 1 to 4 p.m. January 9, 16, 23, 30, and Feb. 6 at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds Annex, 2003 Pleasant St. in Noblesville. Cost is $35 and covers snacks and some of the pruning equipment used during the training and workday. For more information call 234-4386 or email ctauscher@dnr.IN.gov.

Home lost in early morning fire news@currentnoblesvilles.com
Fire officials are investigating the cause of a fire that destroyed a Noblesville home in the early morning of Jan. 8. public safety NFD Division Chief Rick Russell said firefighters were dispatched at 5:51 a.m. to 262 Stony Lane, Noblesville, to a report of an unknown fire. Preliminary 911 calls implied that it might be a tree or something else. “Upon fire suppression crews’ arrival they discovered the residence engulfed in flames. Because of the size of the fire, crews were un-
able to attempt an interior structural fire attack,” Russell stated. Homeowners Seth and Tiffany Buesching were not staying at the residence at the time of the fire. “Throughout the winter storm, the family states they kept losing power and their geothermal heating unit was not functioning properly, so they left and stayed with relativities,” Russell stated. “The occupants stated that the power came back on around 2 p.m. on Jan. 6. However, the geothermal heating was still not working properly.” Russell said the cause of the fire was under investigation as of press time. There is no reported dollar loss at this time.

In 2013, four Noblesville teachers received grants from the Lilly Foundation to focus on arts a specific project that is personally renewing and intellectually revitalizing. This show features projects by two of those artists – Darlene Patterson and Carol Land – at Nickel Plate Arts Campus, 107 S. Eighth St., Noblesville. Patterson traveled to Baffin Island, where she kayaked along the coast of Pond Inlet, participated in the Nunavut Arts and Crafts Association Festival and engaged local children in a photography project. She will be exhibiting photographs from her travels and from the Nunavut children. Land focused on studying the history of calligraphy and took several enriching private courses. She will be sharing her calligraphic masterpieces. The free exhibit runs through Feb. 8. Nickel Plate Arts Campus is open from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

I.W.I.N. helps breast-cancer patients By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com
Indiana Women in Need is a local organization dedicated to assisting breast cancer patients with their everyday needs while health they endure various treatments. Nancy Shepard is a registered nurse and the founder of the I.W.I.N. foundation. “We provide things like housekeeping and lawn maintenance,” Shepard said. “Our most popular need is for the gas and/or transportation to a patient’s treatments. Our next most popular need is meal preparation or assisting with the cost of groceries, and we also do wellness services like massage and exercise classes.” I.W.I.N. started in 2000 and is a 501(c)(3) organization that relies solely on donations and private grants; the foundation serves patients throughout the state of Indiana. “I got started in the cause with the intention of raising funds to give to another organization,” Shepard said. “Other survivors said that it was good to support organizations that are trying to find a cure, but that there weren’t any services available to help patients with everyday tasks while going through surgery and/or treatments.” Patients learn about I.W.I.N. in a variety of ways. “They hear about us from social workers and nurses and especially in rural areas, we’ve seen increased awareness through word of mouth,” Shepard said. Both women and men are eligible for I.W.I.N.’s services; patients start the process by filling out an application found at www.iwinfoundation.org.

“The application process is pretty easy,” Shepard said. “The biggest criteria for us are that the patients have to be in aggressive treatment.” I.W.I.N. currently serves more than 300 women and men each year and is the only organization of its kind that is growing in requests from patients. In July, I.W.I.N. celebrated providing $1 million in services and hopes to keep going. “I am the founder but I’m not a paid CEO,” Shepard said. “We’ve operated as a true volunteer grassroots organization and we’re looking for Indiana-based businesses to partner with.” Visit www.iwinfoundation.org to learn more about I.W.I.N.’s accomplishments and needs; third-party fundraiser ideas are always welcome. I.W.I.N.’s Pink Pajama Party fundraiser is coming up Feb. 21 & 22 at the Indianapolis Marriott North hotel; check I.W.I.N.’s Website for registration details.

COMMUNITY
How did Noblesville and Hamilton County manage last week’s snow, winds, ice and cold? By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The foot of snow was manageable, but when compounded with blistering wind and sub-zero temperatures, last week’s Cover story winter storm will go down as one to remember for several years. The storm closed businesses, schools, airports and even government.
City response
It took three days to return to business as usual in Noblesville. Mayor John Ditslear had to close the city offices and buildings on Jan. 6 and 7 because it was not safe for his employees to be out. “Drifting has been a problem. It coming across the streets makes it difficult,” he said. Ditslear The salt and brine mix the city spreads on roadways does not have an effect when temperatures were as low as they were early last week. Another issue with clearing roadways is cul-de-sacs. “There are 500 in the city, which makes it especially challenging,” Ditslear said. While there were a few slide-offs, Noblesville had no major personal injury or property damage accidents during the storm. Ditslear said the city’s closing of two days should have little impact because conditions also caused closures for businesses and construction. “Waiting two days shouldn’t affect projects,” he said. “Yes, it is an inconvenience, but it’s so bitterly cold.” Ditslear said the storm was “so unusual” that the city hired additional contracted plowing services. The financial impact on the city is not yet known. “It’s our responsibility to keep people safe,” said Ditslear. “I’m proud of our street department. They have worked 24/7 for four straight days.”
County response
Hamilton County government also returned to normal on Jan. 8 after being closed for two days. County Commissioner Christine Altman said the last time she could remember the county being closed for multiple days was approximately six years ago during a storm around Valentine’s Day. “We’ve been lucky. It’s Indiana, it snows,” she said. Altman said the biggest Altman impact of the closure was on the county court system. “Court dates have to be rescheduled,” she

said, adding all those affected were notified. “Normal operations will absorb those costs and salt, sand and overtime for crews and maintenance.” County employees that were non-essential will be paid for their lost days at work at regular rates according to Altman. She said the commissioners discussed the subject years ago about not paying employees or having them use personal days during snow emergencies. “We don’t want to put employees in harm’s way or sliding off and being an impeder for first responders and plowing,” said Altman. “We didn’t want them choosing between having to lose pay or risking safety.”
Emergency response It was a very challenging 96 hours for the county, Bowen said. Even after the snow ceased, winds died down and temperatures rose, law enforcement was dealing with roads that Bowen described as “snow covered, icy and treacherous.” As of Jan. 7, more than a dozen property damage crashes were reported and more than 100 slide-off crashes were investigated. Bowen said that number climbed in the days following the travel advisory downgrade. “There’s a lot of slide-offs and property damage accidents because of more people being out,” he said, adding there have been no major incidents within the county.

Working together Altman said conference calls were made sometimes four times a day involving all jurisdictions and departments. “The Hamilton County Emergency Operation Center served as the headquarters of the county’s combined efforts and brain trust during the storm. “Seven years ago this room didn’t exist,” said Tom Sivak, Hamilton County Emergency Management Agency executive director. Sivak said the center focused on situation awareness and resource coordination. “The operational center opened because of the extreme cold,” he said. “It was a bigger event than what we thought.” “It’s very dynamic. We have all the players in the same room. All are able to stay on the same page and work together,” Sheriff Mark Bowen said. Duke Energy worked with Bowen the operation center and provided information to local officials on areas without power for welfare checks. “It was the first activation to this level,” Sivak said. “Immediately we can help manage everything.”
Caring for the elderly… Meals on Wheels Hamilton County Executive Director Beth Gehlhausen said direct contact was made with their clients to ensure no one went hungry after the weather caused the organization to cancel food deliveries on Jan. 6 and 7. “We let clients know about the situation and check on them,” Gehlhausen said. Gehlhausen Every fall the organization provides four emergency meals that can be eaten out of the container or warmed up. Gehlhausen said the packages are prepared by professionals and distributed in case of emergencies like this. “Most of our folks keep things on hand. We deliver meals Monday through Friday so most have cereal and mile and items that are easy to prepare,” she said.
… and the animals
Executive Director Rebecca Stevens said the Humane Society of Hamilton County did “pretty good” with the limited staff and volunteers that can make it in during the storm today to make sure the more than 250 cats and dogs in their care were clean, fed, walked and warm. “Every animal received the care and love they
11
needed,” she said. “We have the best staff and best volunteers around.”
Schools granted relief
Schools forced to cancel classes due to winter weather last week will not have to make up the days. The Indiana DOE informed schools that they will not have to make up classes canceled on Jan. 6 and 7 if they submit a waiver. Noblesville classrooms were closed Jan. 7 through 9. “We will apply for a waiver day for Tuesday. Unless the state extends the waiver offer to additional days missed, schools will have to make up days missed beyond Tuesday at the end of the school year, beginning the first Monday in June,” district spokeswoman Sharon Trisler said.
Shelter response minimal
Three different emergency shelters were open during the storm. Carmel High School was the first and Sivak said 12 used the shelter its first night. Four took advantage of the Fall Creek Intermediate School shelter in Fishers on Jan. 6. Each closed a day later on Jan. 7. On Jan. 7, the first collaborative shelter in the county opened at the 4-H Fairgrounds. The idea came from Tom Rogers, animal control officer, to offer a site for residents and their pets. Sivak said Red Cross staff assisted people and CERT and Hamilton County Animal Control cared for pets. “It was a reality; people weren’t leaving because of their pets,” Sivak said. Bowen said he has mixed feelings about the public’s response to the emergency shelters. “I’m not all together surprised to find there are a lot of generous people in the community. They have other options and means to spend nights in hotels,” he said.
Hospitals stay alert
Despite the subzero temperatures, Riverview emergency room physician Bill Bean hasn’t seen severe cases caused by the winter weather. “Fortunately I’m not aware that we’ve had any hypothermia cases,” Bean said. “We certainly worry about these conditions.. Bean said frostbite can occur for various reasons and typically a lot of them are unplanned exposures by getting stuck in vehicles or exposed unintentionally after power is lost. “Occasionally it’s because they don’t respect or have the self-concern related to going out and don’t take precautions for exposure for a result in injuries,” he said. For extended coverage of the storm recovery, visit www.currentnoblesville.com Disaster declared – On Jan 9, the Hamilton County Commissioners signed paperwork declaring a disaster due to the recent severe weather, which caused extensive damage to private and public property throughout the county. Officials said no estimate of the total cost has been determined yet.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Working through the winter wallop “Weather happens.” It’s an age-old expression that has been emanating from newsrooms for as long as either of us can remember. Still, what happened to all of us last week was kind of otherworldly. It had been some time since these parts experienced anything like the wallop of ultra-frigid air that followed the foot of snow. It was the unrelenting (for a time, anyway) cold blast that had us drop our cavalier attitude and start to wonder just how safe the community was. As it turned out, we all escaped mostly unscathed. But along the way, our editors – working from their kitchen tables or elsewhere at home – went into overdrive with online and social-media postings. We actually closed our office the day after the storm, a first. We weren’t about to put our associates at risk. It wasn’t a noble gesture, just the correct thing to do. That was Monday. Then came Monday night, and we almost lost our chicken-noodle soup when we watched Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard on the idiot box, telling local businesses to stay closed on Tuesday. He wanted more time to plow again. Understandable, but by that time roads were passable. We noticed businesses in our midst opened as soon as possible. Snow or not, commerce is their life’s blood. So, what of Ballard’s request? It’s possible he cost Indy’s businesses combined millions that second day, and it didn’t have to happen. While not exactly heroic, we had this joint humming at three-quarters speed Tuesday on behalf of readers and advertisers, and business was pretty darned swell. We often wonder to ourselves what makes some folks toss in the towel on occasion. Why not do all you can, responsibly, in a given moment or situation to “do what you do?” Maybe it’s just how we’re wired. Oh, well; here comes the rain.

FROM THE EDITOR Being essential
The killer bathtub Commentary by Terry Anker Conventional wisdom tells us that the most dangerous place is our own homes. Accidents, fires and domestic violence are attributed with bringing more injuries, and even deaths, there than we’d encounter almost anywhere else. If we’ve survived this far into life, we have figured out the big stuff. We pay attention when using a sharp knife. We pay attention when working over a hot stove. We pay attention when parking the car in the attached garage. But even with smoke detectors and public service announcements, we seem to be missing the warning signs at our peril. Falling in the bathtub, missing a stair, forgetting a lit candle – these are the mundane and undetected killers. One is reminded, as American poet Emily Elizabeth Dickenson correctly predicted over 100 years ago, that, “If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves.” But many of us live lives of harried exasperation. We multi-task (I’m not sure I even know what this term now means – but I
am confident that it is not a good idea). We are so preoccupied with our media and connectivity that we can barely remember the basics. We allow our bodies to be polluted with excess and atrophy from lack of use. We fall because we try to carry too much on a single trip. Overloaded and overburdened, we negate many of the tremendous advances offered by modern developments in product creation and manufacturing, instead taking vast, if unknown, risks to extract more from our days. Winter brings with it snow shovels and icy walkways – both killers! Add to the list the ladder required to remove the last of the Christmas decorations, and we are living in a war zone. Well, maybe it is not quite a war zone; but there is real danger. Be careful! Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others throw at him.”
Sidney Greenberg
The recent winter storm was an inconvenience, to say the least. It ruined one of my Christmas gifts – sweet tickets to the PacersRaptors game on Jan. 7. Could I have taken my wife to the game? Yes, but I’d been out traveling the roads and going 20 mph to downtown Indianapolis and back again at night didn’t seem wise. Like most, I preferred to stay inside during the storm and below-zero wind chill. I ventured out to clear the driveway and take photos of plows driving past my house, but it was painful. Instead, time was spent trying to keep social media updated with developments, drinking hot chocolate, keeping my 2-year-old occupied and making sure the pipes didn’t freeze. However, there are a group of individuals who don’t have the option of staying in no matter how cold or how many inches of snow fall. These “essential personnel” had to leave quality time with their loved ones to provide assistance to everyone in need. The unsung city and county employees were out clearing streets, checking on buildings, answering 911 calls, responding to emergencies and slide-offs and anything required to keep the government afloat during the storm. These were the people who were out in the weather when everyone else was told to stay inside. They were the ones rescuing you when your car was in a snowbank or you needed medical assistance. They were the ones fighting fires when others were warm in bed worrying about frozen pipes. Think they didn’t make sacrifices already? Staff members literary slept at the Hamilton County Judicial Center and Sheriff’s Office. They were working 12-hour shifts or longer every day for four straight days. Essential personnel extended past government workers. Employees at local hospitals were advised to bring extra clothes and be prepared for double shifts if their relief couldn’t make it in – or they couldn’t leave. I doubt they hear it enough, so I want to thank our community’s essential workers for allowing me to stay warm and inside. Robert Herrington is the managing editor of Current in Westfield.

Turn a deaf ear to food sharing Commentary by Danielle Wilson
I eat processed foods, a lot. I also don’t buy organic, except by accident. And finally, dairy, especially milk, is my favorite source humor of protein. And do you know what? I am healthy and fit, and rarely get sick, despite working in a school and living in close proximity to four not-always-clean children. So please, spare me the lecture! Yes, I am feeling a bit defensive lately of my eating and grocery shopping habits. Three times over the holidays, different people read me the riot act over my food choices. One was family, one was a friend and one I didn’t really know at all. The first two I can accept as well-wishers who only want what’s best for me, but the third totally honked me off. So let me lay it all out for you, and then maybe before you judge and criticize someone else, you’ll keep your mouth shut. We eat a ton of processed foods at Chez Wilson. Applesauce, whole-grain white bread, CheezIts, Trix yogurt, Meijer granola bars, Waffle Crisp, fruit snacks, SpaghettiOs, deli meats, the list goes on and on. But when you are trying to pack five lunches at 6:30 a.m. or have only 10 minutes to feed a kid before soccer, prepackaged, highly preserved food sources are a lifesaver. Do we eat this stuff all the time? No. But am I opposed to a lunch of Kraft cheese slices on bologna with mayonnaise and a Diet Coke? Most certainly not.
I once tried to go organic. A neighbor had suggested that the reason my children’s feet stunk as badly as they did was the hormones in the milk I was buying. After three weeks with no improvement in the odor and a significant increase in our grocery bill, I called it quits. I understand the principles behind organic and would love to be able to shop exclusively at Whole Foods, but frankly, it’s just too expensive. For me, organic is a luxury, not a necessity. And lastly, I love milk. Ice-cold, cow-created, 1% generic milk. It’s low-fat and high in protein and calcium, and pairs perfectly with Kellogg’s cherry Pop-Tarts, which, by the way, are my ritual nighttime snack. Can we get the nutrients elsewhere? Of course! But for kids who think chicken is the spawn of Satan, knowing that they are getting at least a little protein at each meal is comforting. The same goes for yogurt, cheese and cookie-dough ice cream. Soy and almond milk are just poorly disguised impostors. Bottom line, I’m doing a decent job of raising healthy and happy kids. If they are addicted to Oreos, Red Baron and Goldfish, so be it. There are a lot worse things. Peace out.

No disappointment with low bar Commentary by Mike Redmond
New Year’s resolutions are all well and good, but let’s face it: By this time most of us have already broken one or two and by humor the end of the month, they’re all likely to be shattered. They’re just not promises with a lot of structural integrity. Part of the problem, I think, is that we tend to set the bar too high: I’m going to give up chocolate, for example, or I’m going to hit the gym every day for at least an hour and a half with double shifts on weekends and holidays. These resolutions, or versions of them, are among the most popular. They are also among the more difficult to keep. Who can reasonably be expected to give up chocolate? That’s like giving up breathing. And as for hitting the gym every day, I suppose it’s possible, but it’s hardly practical. As a recovering gym rat I can tell you that the allure of long, punishing daily workouts tends to fade after about, oh, two days. Now, these resolutions aren’t completely bad. They just need some wiggle room. Luckily, I know where to find it. The one about giving up chocolate, for example – I think it depends on what brand you were thinking of when you made the resolution. Most likely, it was a Hershey bar because 99 times out of 100, an American thinking of chocolate has a Hershey bar in mind. I know I do. That being the case, you can wriggle around
this resolution simply by avoiding Hershey bars, since that’s what you really meant. This serves the dual purpose of allowing you to keep your promise, sort of kind of, while indulging in all the other brands of chocolate out there. As for the resolution about the gym, it’s plainly apparent that all you are required to do is show up. Nowhere does it say anything about exercise. Therefore, all you have to do to keep your resolutions is go there and stand around for a while. No need to break a sweat since that wasn’t technically the premise of the promise. Wow. With truth-avoidance skills like mine, it’s amazing that I avoided a career in law or politics. If you are still going to make resolutions and, even worse, keep them, be sure to set the bar kind of low. I’m going to lose some weight is a good one. You’re not stuck trying to reach an unreachable goal – I’m going to lose 100 pounds by March 3 – and nowhere are you obligated keep the pounds off once lost. My personal favorite is I’m going to be a better person. This is really the gold standard in vague, easily-kept resolutions. All you have to do is think one less rotten thought and presto! You’re there. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline. com or P.O. Box 44385, Indianapolis, IN 46244.

Moscow Ballet’s ‘Swan Lake’ offers happy ending
By Jay Harvey • news@currentnoblesville.com Opera and ballet history is strewn with initial failures — partial and complete — of works that later became durable ballet masterpieces. Such was the case with the ballet “Swan Lake,” which didn’t start on a path to immortality until the Russian master Marius Petipa revived the 1877 work in 1895. Tchaikovsky, the composer, went to his grave thinking his music was to blame for the disastrous premiere, but as an orchestral suite his score has been a staple in the concert hall as well. “Swan Lake” has never been out of the ballet repertoire since Petipa rescued it from the mishmash presented at the premiere, and it will come to the Center for the Performing Arts this week for three performances by an international touring company. The title refers to an enchanted lake populated by swans that briefly take on human form after the approach of Siegfried, a prince on a hunting trip who falls in love with Odette, their queen, as he learns of the spell the swans are under. He promises her eternal devotion; if the promise holds, the spell will be broken. The Moscow Festival Ballet uses the traditional four-act version devised by Petipa and
Lev Ivanov. “(It’s) the same as the original,” said assistant artistic director and ballet master Alexander Daev by email, “but our adaptation has a ‘happy ending.’” That means that the evil sorcerer who cast the spell is defeated in the end. “No power can stop a young man whose heart is so full of love,” the program note says idealistically. Founded in 1989 by Sergei Radchenko, then a principal dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet, the Moscow Festival Ballet is “a strictly touring company,” Daev said, except for occasional summer festivals in Moscow. Its current American tour finds it traveling with seven shows, the backdrops, props and costumes for which are packed into a 53-foot semi. Two large buses accommodate 40 dancers and three technical,
driving and management staff. The company has emphasized the classical repertoire from the start. There have been a few modern works, some of them commissioned, over the years. On the current tour, Daev said, only one ballet is not a restaging of the original choreography, but something all its own. That’s the company’s version of “Romeo and Juliet” (music by Prokofiev), choreographed by Elena Radchenko, the founder’s wife and MFB’s artistic director. The Russian National Orchestra makes all the recordings the company uses on tour, and sometimes accompanies the troupe in its Moscow performances. The dancers come mainly from Russia and Kazakhstan. Those dancing the principal roles on opening night here will be Olga Gudkova (Odette), Maria Sokolnikova (Odylle, the sorcerer’s daughter), Nurlan Kinerbaev (Prince) and Viacheslav Tapharov (Jester). “Swan Lake” • Moscow Festival Ballet production; choreography by Marius Petipa, Lev Ivanov and Yuri Grigorovich; music by P.

Jazz that brings people together
By Chris Bavender • news@currentnoblesville.com
A vibrant personality and musical pedigree make Jon Batiste and his band Stay Human a must-see for central Indiana music fans. “Here’s a young man from New music Orleans who grew up in a musical family, then lived in New Zealand, and has a fondness for Brazilian music. He’s only 26-years-old but has this incredible background from attending Julliard to musical collaborations with Wynton Marsalis, Lenny Kravitz, and Harry Connick Jr.,” said John Hughey, a spokeman for the Center for the Performing Arts. “His current album Social Music has depth and richness, reflecting all of those influences. And to top it off, his music is intended to bring people together.” And getting Batiste to come to Carmel has been in the works for some time. “Both the Center’s CEO, Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, and artistic director, Michael Feinstein, had Jon on their list for this season,” Hughey said. “Wynton Marsalis speaks so highly of him and his talent – it was a great fit for the Center’s lineup.” Batiste attended The Juilliard School where he trained in jazz and classical music. Stay Human band members – drummer Joe Saylor, Ibanda Ruhumbika on tuba and Eddie Barbash on alto sax - also attended the prestigious school. So, what can people expect from the show? “Think about how a street performer draws a

crowd in the middle of a city. That’s the energy that (Batiste) brings together using elements of jazz, funk, classical music and pop. You get to hear what you like, and what you are most familiar with from your own experience,” Hughey said. “The intent is to bring people together from all walks of life. That’s the basis of ‘social music.’ I would not be surprised to find the audience on their feet the entire evening, dancing and clapping.” Jon Batiste • The Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • 7:30 p.m. Jan. 15 • Tickets start at $15 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

Many retirees in Carmel are downsizing - selling their large houses along with many of their possessions and moving into business independent living communities like the Barrington or many of the new apartments that are slated to be built in Carmel in the coming year. And one Carmel man has found a way to help seniors and their families make a profit by assisting with the sale of their gently-used automobiles with his year-old start-up business Senior Autos. “Many caregivers are out of town, and when they move mom or dad to a senior living center, they don’t know what to do with the automobile,” said Senior Autos owner and Purdue University graduate Greg Blachly. He said he got the idea for his business after moving his mother down from northwest Indiana into a senior living center. “I’m not a dealer,” he said. “I do not buy and sell cars, so I don’t have a lot.” Blachly serves as an intermediary, helping his clients bridge the gap between buyer and seller by assisting them price the vehicle based on current market value through the use of Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds, develop an online marketing strategy, negotiate a price and generate a bill of sale and transfer of title if requested. “The difference between going retail and going

wholesale can easily be a few thousand dollars, dependent upon the value,” Blachly said. He also does not work on commission. Instead Blachly said he charges a flat fee for his service. Blachly finds his clients through admissions staff and social workers in senior living centers, elder care law practices and personal referrals. Dementia care and Alzheimer care areas are also growing sources of referrals as these patients are forced to give up their driving privileges. “A lot of people don’t think about that until it happens to them,” he said.

American Express ordered to refund $60 million to customers - The CFPB, a federal agency that monitors how financial products and services work for consumers, said that American Express engaged in unfair billing tactics and deceptive marketing. More than 335,000 consumers were affected. American Express said it has started paying the remediation to customers, but wouldn’t say exactly how much it has paid back so far. According to the federal agency, American Express illegally marketed identity protection products and charged people without telling them that the services would be provided only after customers provided written consent. The CFBP said that 85 percent of customers who enrolled in these services paid the full fee without receiving all of the advertised benefits. SOURCE: CNN Money

SOURCE: MSN Money Report: Indiana power rates to rise by a third by 2023 - The state’s electricity rates will surge by nearly a third over the next 10 years, driven upward by new federal pollution restrictions on coal-fired power plants, the costs of new plants and other factors, a Purdue University research group predicts. That spike is expected to lead to an unprecedented flattening in demand for electricity in Indiana, with demand growing on average less than 1 percent — about 0.74 percent — each year over the next 20 years, according to the report. The reports shows that the projected surge in electricity rates will be sparked in part by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s first rules aimed at controlling mercury and other toxic air pollution from coal-fired power plants. Indiana gets nearly 80 percent of its electricity from such power plants. SOURCE: Yahoo Finance

Lose weight the right way
Commentary by Chintan Amin, MD
If you resolve to shed some extra pounds in 2014, it’s important to know the steps you should take – and those to avoid – to Wellness help improve your chances of not only losing weight, but maintaining a more ideal weight over time. Fundamentally, the most effective way to lose weight – and keep it off – involves modifying your lifestyle to include regular physical activity and healthier dietary choices. In an attempt to jump-start weight loss, some people turn to weight loss supplements, which are advertised prominently at this time of year. Product manufacturers usually claim these supplements increase metabolism, burn fat or block absorption of nutrients. If you’re thinking about taking a weight loss supplement, talk to your doctor first and consider the following: • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not regulate dietary supplements. They are not required to undergo the rigorous tests for safety and effectiveness that are customary for regulated drugs. • Most weight loss supplements have not been studied extensively, and only a very few are known to be minimally effective.
When a supplement does work, it’s usually because the user has followed the manufacturer’s recommendations to exercise and eat a healthier diet while taking the supplement. • The ingredients in some weight loss supplements – even those that claim to be “all natural” – can interact with prescription medications you take. That’s why it’s important to talk with your healthcare provider before using any kind of dietary supplement. • Besides a very low-calorie diet, which is usually medically supervised, and weight loss surgery, no product, pill or diet has been proven to promote “fast” weight loss. In efforts to lose weight and keep it off, those who are most successful are the people who lose 1 to 2 pounds per week by combining a healthy, reduced-calorie diet with regular exercise. Crash diets and the empty promises associated with many of the weight loss supplements on the market today rarely help people achieve or maintain a healthy weight. Talk to your doctor about a healthy weight loss plan that’s right for you. Chintan Amin, MD, specializes in internal medicine.

Perfectly progressive
Commentary by Jordan Fischer
It’s time to learn about the perfect progressive verb form. Are you excited? I know you are. If you recall, the grammar guy perfect aspect is used to denote an action which is complete at the time of reference. For example: “We had already eaten dinner before you called.” Both actions occurred in the past, but the speaker’s eating occurred more in the past because it was already completed when the call occurred. The progressive aspect is used to denote temporary actions or states which are ongoing at the time of reference. For example: “Snow was falling while I wrote this column.” The snowfall began prior to the time of reference and continued at least through the time of reference. Now, we can combine the perfect and progressive aspects, along with a verb tense (past, present or future), to form the perfect progressive. We use this form to describe the completed portions of ongoing actions. That might sound convoluted, but it will make sense. The present perfect progressive form is used for actions which began in the past and continue through the present. It is formed by combining the present tense of “have” with the past participle of “be” and the present participle of the main verb. For an example of the present perfect continuous, I have been writing this
column for more than a year now. The action is ongoing – in fact, I am literally doing it right now – yet we can talk about the portions of it which were completed in the past (previous columns, in this case). As is the case in the previous example, the present perfect progressive is often used to describe how long an action has been ongoing (e.g., “Peyton Manning has been playing in the NFL since 1998.”). The past and future perfect progressive tenses serve the same purpose as the present perfect progressive, except with a different point of reference. The past perfect progressive is formed by combining “had,” “been” and the present participle of the main verb: “I had been snowed in for 24 hours when we finally got my car out.” This form can also be used to describe actions that were interrupted by another action or event: “I had been sleeping when you called.” The future perfect progressive is used in the same way as the present perfect progressive – only for future events. It is formed by combining “will” or “shall” with “have,” “been” and the present participle of the verb. Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

The Castle and the monster
Commentary by Jordan Fischer
Urquhart (pronounced “urkut”) Castle played a role in Scotland’s wars of independence and later battles between Presbyterians and Travel Episcopalians. But the castle’s ruins are one of Scotland’s most popular tourist destinations because they are associated with one of the world’s best-known monsters. What is left of Urquhart Castle lies on a point overlooking Loch Ness, 13 miles southwest of Inverness. The castle, once defended by a dry moat and a drawbridge, was begun sometime in the 13th century. Edward I of England captured it in 1296, beginning the wars of Scottish independence, which continued intermittently for about 60 years, with Scotland ultimately retaining its independence. The castle was the object of bloody battles seeking control of the Scottish Highlands, so it changed hands several times. In the late 16th century, the Grants, a powerful Episcopalian clan, restored the badly damaged castle for use as a private residence. In 1644, the “Covenanters,” Presbyterians seeking to establish religious dominance in Scotland, attacked the castle and robbed and expelled Lady Mary Grant, who was staying there. The castle, owned by the Grant family until the early 20th century, was badly damaged and never again restored. St. Columba, an Irish missionary, brought Christianity to Scotland in the sixth century. He returned with a story of stopping by an unidenti-

fied fortress, converting its owner to Christianity and then encountering a “water beast” in the river flowing north from Loch Ness. According to the story, the beast, which had just killed a man, was repelled when Columba made the sign of the cross, giving lasting credibility to both the beast and Christianity. A sign outside Urquhart Castle suggests Columba visited an earlier fortress on the same site and equates his water beast with the Loch Ness Monster. Viewed from above the ruins of Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness is a beautiful lake, well worth the short trip from Inverness. If you get there, keep a lookout for the now-famous monster that helped Christianity take root in Scotland. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Beat the winter garden blues Commentary by Noah Herron
At this time of year, gardeners may begin missing their time outside and their green thumbs may turn another gardening color. Here are 10 ways to beat the winter garden blues: 1. Bring some houseplants into your home. Replace any unhealthy plants with new ones. Add a few houseplants to your collection. Ferns, peace lilies, and bamboo plants are all great for filtering indoor air. 2. You can still grow herbs indoors. Place a few pots in your kitchen window and sprinkle in some basil, cilantro and parsley. They are easy to grow and add some zest to your winter meals. 3. Force some flower bulbs. Amaryllis bulbs are easy to care for and come in a large variety of colors and sizes. Add a beautiful pot to compliment the bulbs. 4. Clean, sharpen and organize your gardening tools for the upcoming season. Doing this now will let you spend more time where it counts – the garden. 5. Order your garden catalogs for 2014. Most seed companies start shipping out their new catalogs in December. 6. Visit your local garden center. Walk around and get some ideas for your up-
coming garden season. Talk with some experts and get advice for any problems you had the previous season. 7. Sit down and plan your garden. Start a fire, grab a blanket and map out your garden plans. Try maximizing your garden space for high yields of fresh fruits and vegetables. 8. Create an elegant terrarium in a conservatory for yourself. These are not only fun to grow but make an interesting conversation piece. 9. Make a garden sign. Get some great ideas by visiting Pinterest. Type in “Garden Signs” and scroll through all the beautiful ideas people have already done. Either use their ideas or change it up a bit to be your own personal creation. 10. Get a jump start on Indiana weather. Grab a grow light and heat mat and set up a grow room. Late February or March is a great time to start tomatoes, peppers, herbs and flowers from seed. The light and smell of something growing will shake those winter blues. Noah Herron is owner of Urban Farmer Garden Center at 4105 W. Ind. 32 in Westfield. He can be reached by calling 600-2807.
DISPATCHES Got a leak? Try tightening the valve stem packing nut. The next time you see a suspicious puddle of water, look for a leaky valve before you call the plumber. Look at the valve to see if water is leaking out around the valve stem. If it is, try turning the packing nut clockwise about an eighth of a turn with a wrench. If tightening the nut doesn’t stop the leak, you’ll have to shut off the main water valve, remove the handle and nut, and add to or replace the packing material – still a pretty easy fix.
Feeding the birds – Winter is the season for giving, and there’s no reason to stop with friends and neighbors. It’s fun to decorate a tree in the yard with treats for hungry birds, too. Since their natural food supply of seeds, nuts and insects dwindles when the weather is cold, you’ll be doing more than sharing a few snacks. Leaving fruit, nuts and other treats can attract beautiful birds to your winter yard. Offer the food on an evergreen tree or shrub in your yard that has sturdy branches, or move your Christmas tree outside after the holidays and use it. You can keep the tree in its stand or insert it into a big bucket of wet, heavy sand. Put it in a protected location to make sure it stays upright. www.hgtv.com
