The MIND diet has been shown to support cardiovascular health and incorporate more of the foods linked to improve cognitive function.

Morris’ MIND trial followed 923 individuals between the ages of 58 and 98 over the course of 4.5 years. Participants were scored based on how closely they followed several recommended diets. The MIND diet was the most effective overall, as strict adherence showed an impressive 53% reduction in risk of Alzheimer’s disease and moderate adherence showed significant reduction in

Noblesville father-daughter duo a hit with internet talk show By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com
James Cordon’s ‘Carpool Karaoke’ and Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’ to help promote the show, but also to highlight her and her ability to have conversations with reputable people,” Adam said. One of the first productions of ‘Slushies with Addie’ took Adam back to Oak Hill High School in Converse, Ind., where Addie interviewed one of his high school English teachers. In another episode, she interviewed Indiana University Associate Athletic Director Jeremy Gray. “We always plan before the show kind of what we’re going to talk about, but we don’t script it,” Addie said. “I’ll have some ideas, and then she’ll bring some ideas,” Adam said. “And mine are more funny,” Addie said. “We kind of take bits and pieces of all the shows that I like,” Adam said. “From (Jimmy) Fallon to Ellen (DeGeneres) to (Jerry) Seinfeld.” Within the next month, the show plans to welcome WTHR’s Chuck Lofton on ‘Slushies with Addie.’ “We’re just kind of raising through the ranks and reaching out to people to see who wants to be on it,” Adam said. “We’re trying to get more kids involved, too. It’s one of those things that we feel like there’s something for everybody.”
In less than a year, Noblesville father Adam Grubb and daughter Addie, 10, have attracted thousands of views each week on their home internet production, “The Addie and Adam Show.” Cover Story They said the show came about purely by coincidence. “Well, my dad’s business got him this new microphone, and he wanted to test out the sound,” Addie said. “We made this little video where I was showing my favorite app, and I was just talking and stuff, and he said it was very funny and that we needed to post it (online).” From there, “The Addie and Adam Show” was born, and they began doing six-minute shows once each week. They declare it “the best six minutes on the internet.” “It wasn’t on purpose, but it turned into something where we got a lot of views,” Adam said. “May 2016 was our first episode, and we’ve done (35) episodes. We tape on Sunday night, and then it goes live on Monday morning. You’ll notice the production quality and the content and everything.” “It grows,” Addie said. “We used to use my dad’s MacBook Air camera. So it was really bad, and then we switched to a little webcam thing, and now we use a real camera.” “I do all the graphics and stuff to make it look like a real show, because now we’re getting thousands of views a week, local and in Indiana,” Adam said.

I feel the need ... for Top Gun mothering
FR O M T HE backshop
Bring on voter IDs We would urge President Donald Trump to forego the deep and broad investigation into voter fraud, whose results won’t change a darned thing – except perhaps allow him bragging rights on the popular vote - and instead opt for immediate institution of a voter identification card, which was a reported goal. That should go a long way toward settling the issue. It’s probably not perfect, but dead guys can’t sign up for an ID, and the person with multiple addresses across state lines would have to choose one. Besides, a lengthy investigation will do nothing except bring an “I told you so” if Trump’s suspicions are confirmed or an “Oops; it was worth a shot” if nothing is proved. What would be guaranteed, though, is an expenditure of taxpayer dollars on the effort, and those dollars would be spent much more wisely on another pursuit, such as studying the effects of expediently reducing corporate and personal income tax. ••• You might know by now that we are not fans of much of the mainstream media. So imagine our ire when it was disclosed that outlets are taking vicious potshots at Trump’s youngest son, 10-year-old Barron. That kid – even Chelsea Clinton spoke up on his behalf – should be allowed to live as normal a gold-plated existence as possible. He didn’t suggest his mom and dad become president and first lady. Leave him alone, media twits, and go report – truthfully – on other aspects of the presidency. You know, kinda like you didn’t do with respect to our former president, Barack Obama?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
They made noise and left Commentary by Terry Anker “I’m here for the oppressed,” she said through her stylish cashmere Burberry scarf, with her blue-green eyes peering from the gap between it and the hand-knitted pink cap in a carefully formed cat-ear design pulled down tightly in an effort to appear serious. Perhaps she was. But it seemed like she was there more for the fun of it all. We humans are a protesting lot. It all starts as we sit in our high chairs, asserting our first toddling attempts at independence from our life-giving parents, and refuse to eat our peas. When mother encourages us to consume the spherical green seeds, we protest – throwing back our heads and screaming until the walls shake. We are unhappy. And you NEED to know about it. In this long tradition of sharing our own personal point of view, many stand ready to stand for or stand against – well, something … anything. As our nation exhibited yet another peaceful transition from one presiden-
tial administration to another, the streets of our nation’s capital filled with those ready to use the gathered witnesses as an audience to their own ends. They came alone, in packs, small groups and bus loads. Each selfpossessed with their own grievance. There are those who believe our leaders are too religious, and those who believe our leaders are too little religious. Some love pigs. Others love pork. All the “ists” were represented – race, sex, fasc, misogyn and too many more to count (indeed, some took terrific liberty with the English language). Some rose to the attention of the national media – a mechanism to provide backdrop for their own ever-slanting narrative. But most made a bit of noise and then went home.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.”
– Thomas Sowell
In honor of Hollywood awards season, I bring you another installment of “When Movies Meet Mothering,” my humor new series where I cleverly insert classic lines from some of my favorite films. Today’s homage is to my teenage crush Tom Cruise and the 1986 flick I saw six times in the theater, “Top Gun” (you’re welcome, SJ!). One of the ongoing dogfights here at Chez Wilson involves our children not working to their potential. Our oldest, in particular, has caused many a liquor store fly-bys as Doo and I struggle to understand how someone with a pretty good head on his shoulders can make such poor decisions when it comes to homework and studying. It’s almost as if he’s purposely buzzing the tower of unacceptable grades just to see if he can spill someone’s coffee. We keep telling him that as a senior in high school, if he doesn’t want to end up selling rubber dog poop out of Hong Kong, he’s going to need to apply himself. He’s going to need to do it right like his old man and not settle for the second-place plaque in the Ladies Room. Luckily, of late, our Maverick has been doing better. He’s stayed above the approved academic hard deck for several months now and has only been inverted once. But we still see him occasionally pulled into the danger zone, unable to resist the siren’s call of Netflix and video games and hanging with his wingmen. And that’s the hard part for us, keeping our helicopter instincts grounded while he serenades potential disaster. We don’t want his ego to start writing checks his report card can’t cash, especially now that college is looming like a great ball of fire, but we also don’t want to always be up in his grill. I suppose this is just a normal part of parenting teenagers, learning to trust your child to pilot his own F-14 through swarms of MiG-28’s and hoping that if he does need to pull the ejector handle, he stays clear of the canopy (yeah, I went there). Peace out.

Storage at Union Chapel, Greenfield approved By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Reynolds Farm Limited Partnership is changing development plans in southeast Noblesville. government The Meredith Meadows development area, at the southeast corner of Union Chapel Road and Greenfield Avenue, was established in November 2009, but now, part of it will soon be home to storage units after the Noblesville Common Council unanimously approved the amendment to the original plan at its Jan. 10 meeting. The north side of Meredith Meadows was originally set with Corporate Campus Planned Development zoning, while the south side of the area was established as a mixed-use residential district. The Class-A self-storage facility, Reynolds Commercial Retail and Storage, will sit next to an existing senior living community and north of The Flats at 146 apartments on 4.25 acres and will include climate and nonclimate-controlled storage. However, the storage facility is not a permitted use within the city’s Corporate Campus Planned Development Commercial land-use category. The petition for the rezoning of 16.37 acres
This map shows the new plan of the 16.75-acre site at the southeast corner of Union Chapel Road and Greenfield Avenue. (Submitted map)
in the development plan, which is currently farm land, was supported by city staff, who
said the project is market-driven, and the development will not sit adjacent to the arterial roadway. The 16-acre parcel is part of what was originally a 300-acre parcel owned by Reynolds Farm Limited Partnership. Other parts of land were developed into the senior living facility, apartments and Promise Road Elementary School. The first phase of the project would be for a two-story building to include the primary rental office and climate-controlled storage units. The second phase, consisting of four perimeter buildings, would, in the future, include the remaining non-climate-controlled units, with the possibility of more climatecontrolled units. City documents stipulate the landowner and petitioner, Reynolds Farm Commercial Development, will maintain ownership of the land but will have the storage units managed by an outside company. The remaining acreage of the property (outside of the 4.25 acres of land developed for the storage facility) will later be developed into two 11,000-square-foot, single-story retail buildings facing Union Chapel Road. Approximately 2.65 acres of the remaining acres at the south end of the property will serve as future development space.

Hands and feet always cold? — When your body senses a drop in external temperature, blood vessels in your extremities contract in order to redirect more blood to your trunk. This protects your organs by keeping them warm. This is why cold weather affects your hands and feet more than other parts of your body. To counteract this, stay well hydrated and increase your activity level to improve circulation. Source: health.com.

Hancock explores unsolved mystery in ‘Black Dahlia’ By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The Black Dahlia case is one of the most famous unsolved murders in U.S. history. Elizabeth Short, nicknamed the Black Dahlia by newspapers, was brutally murdered in Los Angeles in 1947. Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre audiences will take their crack at Dance solving it when the theatre presents “The Black Dahlia” Feb. 4-19 at 329 Gradle Dr., Carmel. The six cabaret-style performances will be at 7 p.m. Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. The production was created by founder/artistic director Gregory Hancock. “We set up four scenarios that could have happened. We use some historical facts but took some artistic liberty, too,” Hancock said. “There’s not a lot of information about the crime and who could have done it. So we developed some scenarios, and the audience gets to decide who it was. They have suspect cards on their table, and they vote.” Company dancer and teacher Hannah Brown, 25, will play the role of Short, who was 22 when she was murdered. “I made the mistake of looking it up when I was eating lunch one day. I wouldn’t recommend it,” said Brown, referring to the gory details of her murder. “I became fascinated with the unsolved mystery of it and how little is known about her life before her death. Lots of people confessed but they don’t think any of them actually did it, and the most likely candidate they were closing in on died in a fire.” There are some lighter moments. “We like our emotional roller coasters here,” Brown said. “There are some fun moments. There is a little sister duet that is lighthearted. There are some sad moments and dark moments, too.” Hancock said the music is different than what he would normally use. “There is a lot of 1940s swing music and ‘40s Latin swing music,” he said. “There are a lot of fun and happy sections and almost comic sections. Then when it becomes dark, it becomes creepier.” The production is the annual fundraising show, board President Ivy Heazeltine said. There will be a live auction with some original art. Heazeltine said approximately one-third of the theatre’s revenue comes from ticket sales and the rest it has to raise.

Blueprint for Improvement: Maximizing bathroom space Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal for this master ensuite was to maximize the usable space for each separate function, while coordinating with the aesthetics of the adjacent master bedroom. 1. Multiple walls were relocated to reconfigure the bathroom and closet spaces. This allowed for the closet, vanity and shower spaces to all double in size. 2. The new double-sink vanity has a significant amount of additional storage, including two tower cabinets that contain outlets inside for hiding small bathroom appliances. The beautiful cherry-stained cabinets and unique marble countertops are the focal point of the room and coordinate seamlessly with the finishes of the adjacent master bedroom. 3. A clear, frameless glass shower surround gives an open, bright feel to the new, larger shower. It also accommodates a corner seat and two recessed storage niches, convenient for holding personal care items. 4. A new heated floor system with a programmable thermostat is a hidden feature that adds an additional level of comfort.
Background Info: This Geist home in the Beam Reach neighborhood of Indianapolis had unique features that were no longer functional. Also, the original 1980s aesthetics did not align with the owners’ personal style and overall vision for their home.
Before problems: Before the renovation, the bathroom was dark, outdated and confining. For the amount of square footage in the master ensuite, there was too much wasted space because of a large recessed hot tub and chopped up functions in separate areas. In addition, the shower was too small, and the ensuite lacked sufficient vanity and closet storage.

High conflict co-parenting situations are not only extremely exhausting, but are challenging to find any type of quick resolution. Furthermore, litigation is not always the best solution for these types of matters, as the parties lose control of the outcome, the process can be slower than desired, and it is generally very expensive. However, a positive trend that is increasingly growing in Indiana family law cases are the appointments of parenting coordinators. A parenting coordinator (or “PC”) is an individual appointed by Order of the court and charged with managing on-going issues between parents in cases with constant and substantial disputes involving child custody and parenting time issues. Generally, the PC is either a mental health professional or a lawyer with significant experience in family law issues. What is a PC’s role/function? The purpose of the PC is to help assist divorced parents navigate their co-parenting relationships by resolving impasses concerning child-related issues and helping to redirect parents to focus primarily on the needs of the child. A PC will aid in developing, implementing, and maintaining parenting plans to ease parenting issues, all in hopes of reducing further litigation. A PC’s authority is specifically defined by the Court’s Order, which is generally prepared by the parties’ and their respective attorneys. The Order of the court will have considerable detail as to the extent and limitations of the duties of the PC; however, the easiest description for the PC’s role is the PC will have the ability to act as a communication facilitator, an ongoing mediator and even, essentially, an arbitrator for excessively divisive situations. As the goal is to help the parties effectively co-parent and address issues which may arise from time to time, the PC typically meets with both parties regularly, receives day-to-day questions and complaints about any aspect of a party's conduct, gathers information from outside sources (schools, doctors, counselors, etc.) and works with the parties, looking for consensus or, at least, basic agreement. If this is unsuccessful, the PC
may choose to inform the parties of what the PC believes is in the best interests of the child in the hopes of pushing the parties to an agreement. While the role of the PC does not divest the court of its jurisdiction to determine child-related issues (custody, parenting time, child support, etc.), the PC may submit recommendations to the court if no agreement is possible. Further, upon receipt of the PC’s recommendations, depending upon the circumstances, those recommendations may be immediately adopted by the court. How is a PC selected? Either party may petition the court to appoint a PC. Alternatively, if both parties agree that their situation would benefit from the involvement of a PC, the parties may submit an agreement for the appointment of a PC to the court. If an agreement is reached, the parties may also select the PC which would work best for their matter. How much will this cost? PC’s are oftentimes attorneys and charge parents for the time involved in addressing the issues presented by the parties. Typically, a court will require the parents to share the PC’s costs, so that they are both “invested” in the process. As part of its authority, the PC has the ability to reapportion costs if one party’s lack of cooperation is clearly a primary issue and the source of a disproportionate amount of the PC expense. Thus, for parents who find themselves in the midst of constant high conflict battles concerning parenting time or custody matters, or are forced to have repeated hearings or mediation, a PC might be a great alternative solution to consider. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.
