Thirteen Noblesville residents spoke during the public hearing – two for the fee, including former councilor Jeff Zeckel, and 11 against. Council members were not given a chance to make statements or discuss the comments made from the public after Councilor Roy Johnson “called the question,” a parliamentary method occasionally used in government meetings to end debate and move on to voting on the issue at hand. Council President Greg O’Connor honored the call and began with the roll-call vote. O’Connor and Johnson, along with councilors Wil Hampton, Chris Jensen, Rick Taylor and Megan Wiles voted in favor of the ordinance.

Schools get last year’s grades By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Indiana Dept. of Education released its grades for the 2014-15 school year with data that shows most schools education received the same grades as last year. Results came after the State Board of Education voted at its January business meeting to approve the grades as either the same or better after big drops in ISTEP+ standardized testing scores, the result of an attempt by the state to make the testing more challenging. The state has made changes via SB 200 “to ensure that no school is penalized by lower ISTEP+ scores during the state’s transition to more rigorous college- and career-ready academic standards,” according the ISBOE website. The state also passed HB 1003, keeping ISTEP+ scores from hurting performance evaluations of teachers. For Noblesville Schools, it’s all As across the board again. But this year, they’re not the only district in Hamilton Co. to do so. Carmel Clay Schools – who would have had all As in the 2013-14 grading if not for Carmel Middle School’s B grade – also received all As in its 15 schools. Of Carmel Clay Schools’ 14
ISTEP-tested schools, there was an average 20.28 percent drop in overall scores. In 20132014, schools had an average 75.27 percent passing rate between them. In 2014-2015, schools had an average 54.99 percent passing rate between them. “While we are celebrating this distinction, we also recognize school grades are based on students’ performance on ISTEP only, making it a measure of student achievement on one particular day,” said Amy Dudley, Assistant Supt. of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment at CCS. “Last year, CMS missed earning an ‘A’ grade by 0.02 percent. This year, CMS earned an ‘A’ grade by 0.03 percent. This small change is most likely attributed to one or two students moving from typical growth to high growth.” Of Noblesville Schools’ nine ISTEP-tested schools, there was an average 51.56 percent drop in overall scores. In 2013-2014, schools had an average 73.88 percent passing rate between them. In 2014-2015, schools had an average 22.32 percent passing rate between them. Hamilton Southeastern Schools saw improvements, too. With 18 As and two Bs last year, the district has just one B this year.

Megan Leahy teams up with law enforcement to comfort kids in crises By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Comforting kids in a time of crisis isn’t always easy, especially when the person comforting them is a complete stranger. But Noblesville’s Megan Leahy, 35, is cover story working to change that. In just a few months, Leahy has teamed up with area police departments to gather donations of stuffed animals for officers to carry with them in their vehicles for times when children are in the custody of an officer – an initiative called Pals on Patrol, which she officially launched Sept. 11, 2015. “Let’s say there’s a domestic situation, whether the child has been abused or they witness their parents doing something. The police are called. It’s a whole huge, scary situation. They’re crying. They’re sad. Maybe they’re having to be removed from their home or having to go to (the Department of Child Services) or a police department. The police officer or DCS agent can give them the stuffed animal for them to hold onto to feel comforted because we all had something as a kid – a blanket or a stuffed animal or a toy or some sort of object – that just made us feel better.” Leahy said situations like these vary between domestic violence situations, car accidents where a parent may be receiving medical attention, narcotics busts and beyond. With her own background in law enforcement, she said her father, Cpl. Mark Coons, was her biggest inspiration for starting Pals on Patrol. “When I was like 3 or 4 (years old), he started an organization in my hometown that helped get Christmas presents for kids who otherwise wouldn’t have gotten anything … and I spent the rest of my childhood helping him shop for kids,” Leahy said. “He passed away unexpectedly donation information almost three years ago, and I was trying to • Drop-off locations: The Urban figure out a way to Chalkboard Learning Studios keep his memory alive and Play Café, 452 E.

out and yield big results, Leahy says she wants to continue to build the organization with the help of anyone and everyone. All are welcome to get involved, despite age. “It comes full circle because the moms and dads see Pals on Patrol and they think, ‘Oh, we have this stuffed animal that we’ve never even touched, and we can go and talk to our children about … how we can help others,’ and that helps them feel like they’re giving back,” Leahy said. “Then I take it and give it to the policemen. Then they give it to children in need, and that builds a relationship between them. Especially with law enforcement lately, there are so many bad stories. I’m hoping that this can help soften that a little bit and show them

Western Illinois University has the largest Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Administration program in Illinois and is consistently ranked among the top schools for law enforcement training. • Volunteer work: Since her move to Noblesville in December 2008, Leahy has worked for a number of organizations, which include: digital writer for Indy’s Child, a parenting magazine; an event planner and former outreach director for City Moms, Indy’s largest social networking group for moms; security director for Whale of a Sale, an annual children’s consignment shopping event; a Girl Scouts troop leader and school organizer; a court-appointed specialty advocate in Marion Co.; and a volunteer for Project Indy Home, an organization that serves teen mothers living in unstable situations. • Website: www.palsonpatrol.com • Facebook: Pals on Patrol • Twitter: @PalsOnPatrol • Contact: 217-816-5491 or megan@palsonpatrol.com
that police aren’t always as bad as the media say they are. I wanted to give people something good to talk about because there’s really not a lot of that these days.” Currently, Pals on Patrol has special partnerships with the Noblesville Police Dept. and Carmel Police Dept. Leahy said she is always looking for partnerships with local businesses for drop-off points and other law enforcement agencies, shelters, fire stations and more. Leahy runs the organization by herself with no staff, but with the help of some family and friends. “I really want to show people that I’m not just a stay-athome mom trying to do something good for the community. I’m really trying to make a difference, and not just in Indy. I want this to be all over the Midwest, and I’d really like it to be big,” she said.

Too much attention
FR O M T HE BA C K SH O P Relinquishing reins once more Last year, we wrote in this space about how we were turning our editorial management over to one among our news team, Sophie Pappas, now our editorial director. It was difficult to let go, but the results of our decision couldn’t have worked out better. Now we find ourselves in the same boat with respect to our revenue operation. It is as near and dear to us as editorial and our team are. But if we were honest with ourselves, and we are, it became apparent it was time to step back from that part of the business, too. We’re growing, and we believe we can grow a whole lot better by relinquishing the day-to-day management of sales to a proven professional. So that’s what we decided to Sonoga do, and as of Feb. 1, Marka Sonoga is our first sales manager. She comes to us from El Dorado, Ark., where she was the advertising director, having previously served in a similar capacity in LaGrange, Ga. Prior to that, she was involved in ad sales for print and television in Youngstown, Ohio. Needless to say, we’re excited to have her aboard. We have tasked Marka with building a newer and improved sales culture here, a challenge she readily accepts. You’ll find her out in the community as often as in the office, because she wants to become immersed in all the goingson. It’s striking and energizing to sit back and realize how far this company has come with the help of incredibly talented people and valued advertising partners. We anticipate Marka only will add to it. You may reach her at marka@youarecurrent.com or 317.489.4444. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Line of sight Commentary by Terry Anker As he often does, a good friend forwarded a quote via email designed to both break-up the day and to inspire a contemplative moment. In his book adapted from a series of wartime BBC interviews, “Mere Christianity,” C.S. Lewis said “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.” The leading advocate at the time for a reasoned defense of the faith, Lewis brought attention to the universal longing of humankind. Whether one conforms with the view that our lives on this Earth are inconsequential to the ones that will follow in heaven, most of us experience some sense of isolation and lack of belonging. Our relationships, our careers, and even our own self-worth, at times seem to elude satisfaction. Luckily, the sensation ebbs and flows for the majority. Yet for some, a constant pall of loneliness hangs on to them. We need more. We
need better. We need different! So, how do we satiate our desires without, if we follow Lewis’s argument, dying? Moreover, doesn’t a healthy sense of aspiration lift us all? Certainly, we should find our center – our point on the horizon – and cling to it. What in our lives is it that matters most? My wise spouse once proclaimed, “You are most happy about tomorrow when you are a bit unhappy about today.” She is right. Some need to long for improvement today if they hope to achieve it tomorrow. It keeps the line of sight off of our shoes and out in front. Is it more important to know (or imagine) where we are going than to know (or imagine) where we are? Today may be filled with limitations, but tomorrow is abundant with opportunity. Isn’t that where we really belong? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. – Will Rogers
I don’t know about most women, but I appreciate the occasional catcall. A hearty whistle from the construchumor tion site as I jog by. An enthusiastic honk from the landscape truck as I idle at a stoplight. Even the mall vendor touting his perfume with, “Hey, beautiful lady!” At my age, I feel any unsolicited attention paid to a gal in sweatpants or a minivan is cause for celebration. Yay, me! I haven’t completely fallen apart! But some guys take it too far. I was at the grocery store the other day and because, for once, I was child and husband free, I decided to use a holiday gift card at the Starbucks counter for a coffee. Unfortunately, a sign indicated that the Meijer employee-turned-barista had stepped away for a moment, and so I had nothing to do but stand there and wait. Enter a man to my left, sauntering out of produce and right up next to me. We’re the only two people in this section of the store, but he comes to rest less than a foot away. Personal space was clearly not on his radar. We exchanged pleasantries, and because I’m nice, I answered his questions about the order I would hopefully be placing soon. Then he starts dropping comments like, “This is the most enjoyable wait I’ve had in a while, next to a pretty woman like you,” and “You’re so nice, I hope we’re here a while longer.” I’m super uncomfortable, but I also really want a latte. And he’s still standing like 10 inches from me. Finally the counter reopens. Again, my politeness sabotages by efforts at disinterest and forces me to engage my “admirer.” I offer to let him order first since he is only getting a muffin. His reply is “No, because then I’d be denied the pleasure of your company.” Had this been an elderly man and a harmless flirtation, I would have played right along. But actually being hit on by a middle-aged stranger at the coffee shop was too much. Just give me the impersonal catcalls from afar! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Safety is paramount Commentary by Don Perkins We are blessed to be citizens of the United States and residents of Indiana. Because of these two things, we are allowed to own and carry firearms with pergun safety mits to do so. I wonder though, is it OK to carry a handgun without the proper training to? Should we, as residents of Indiana, be required to graduate from a handgun training course, which would include care, custody, safety and marksmanship of a handgun, before a concealed carry permit would be issued to us? I think we should. The state of Indiana will issue us a driver’s license, but before we can get the license, we are required to pass competency tests. Depending on circumstances and the ability to pass the tests, this process could take several months, a year, or more to get our first driver’s license. Plus we have to recertify
every few years that we have the basic skills in order to retain our license. I think this would be a good starting point for conversation around training and certification to carry a handgun. In no way am I suggesting that buying a handgun in Indiana should be changed. As I stated in my last column, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. But as I have mentioned, safety is paramount with firearms. The NRA offers great firearms courses that are available to both gun and non-gun owners that would suffice core requirements for safe gun ownership. Let us be knowledgeable and safe supporters of the Second Amendment!

Are you stressing or worrying about your relationships, work, finances, your children or school? How do you manage your worries, stress, fears and anxiety? counseling Does it impact how you fall or stay asleep? We don’t want to worry or stress of things we feel we cannot control. We try to turn it off but don’t know how. The bottom line is that worrying is exhausting and doesn’t help us feel better. We end up feeling anxious, fearful and stuck. There is hope to start changing this pattern. Below are some helpful steps to begin to sleep better at night. 1. Do some form of movement during the day. Take a walk, run, swim, bike or join a yoga or exercise class – even if it’s five minutes a day. Try and make it a priority to move your body to get move the anxiety out. 2. Explore how you manage your feelings. Do you feel them? Stuff them
down? Do you numb them out with the Internet, social media, shopping, eating, drugs, alcohol or business, to name a few? If we don’t feel our feelings, we will stay stuck. We didn’t grow up necessarily with parents or society telling us it’s okay to feel. We were told to shake it off or pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get over it. Get curious about what you feel and allow them to flow. 3. No technology or TV before bedtime. Watching the news or watching something scary before bed and cause the brain to move into flight, fight or freeze. The body isn’t able to rest because the brain is trying to stay safe. Read something positive or listen to something inspiring or uplifting. This will help calm the brain and help the body to relax.

Legends in Concert: It’s not the real thing but it’s close By Zach Dunkin • news@currentnoblesville.com Sure, they’re not the real thing. But what do you think it would cost to see a concert featuring Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Whitney Houston, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner music and Bette Midler – even if you could get them all on the stage at one gathering? Well, that’s not going to happen, but a lineup of entertainers impersonating that power quintet will do its best to come close to their look and sound when the “Legends in Concert” show headlines the Terrace Showroom at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino in Anderson Feb. 19, 20 and 21. “Legends in Concert’s reputation of only using the best of the best tribute artists is the main contributor of their legiti-
macy and longevity,” said Adam Kallick, Hoosier Park’s director of entertainment. “They have a variety of tribute artists where a venue like ours can change the show up by featuring a variety of genres and artists.” What started in 1983 as a limited six-week engagement at the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Legends in Concert has entertained more than 30 million fans worldwide at various venues such as Hoosier Park, which hosted its first Legends show last May. Legends claims to be the longestrunning tribute show in Vegas. In addition to spot-on imitations, the 75-minute shows are known for their elaborate theatrical sets, costumes and special effects, including 3D multimedia and multimillion dollar, state-of-the-art lighting, laser and sound systems.

The shows at Hoosier Park last May featured Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Cher and Bruce Springsteen tribute artists. “The response we received was very, very positive,” Kallick said. “After the first show, the next two days sold out because of word of mouth. We’ve had many requests to bring the show back.”

“Where’s Amy?” … The Broadway U.S. Tour of “The Wizard of Oz” blew into town, and I had the opportunity to hang out with some amazing cast members for an exclusive photo shoot for Current. I loved spending time with the talented Morgan Reynolds (Scarecrow), Jay McGill (Tin Man) and Aaron Fried (The Cowardly Lion). They were too much fun. It’s safe to say these boys are now fans of Current. Butler Mascot Blue III even stopped by for a few quick poses in hopes to boot Toto out of a job. Current columnist and Channel 8 host Dick Wolfsie and RTV6’s Beth Vaughn also Blue III hammed it up for “Where’s Amy?” on the “Wizstopped by for an interview on the set at Clowes Memorial Hall.

Warm with local hot chocolate By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For years, I have been a self-christened coffee fiend, coffee snob, beverages coffee addict – take your pick – and I didn’t waste
time with non-caffeinated beverages. Why drink something delicious when you could drink something that kick starts your day? But, I set my assumptions of those sinful non-caffeinated beverages aside as I toured Hamilton Co. searching for the best hot chocolate havens.
dark hot chocolate The Quirky Feather Confectionary, Carmel This little café opened quite recently, and I enjoyed their coffee so I chose to try their hot chocolate. They offered three varieties – dark, white, or tuxedo, which was a mix of the two. I chose dark, as I am not an overlysweet person. It was phenomenal. The dark chocolate was not overbearingly sweet, but not bitter like some darker chocolate beverages or snacks can be. And the best part? The whipped cream is made in house with real whipping cream and not from a packet. It was a nice touch on a classic hot chocolate. A generous chocolate drizzle on the homemade whipped cream topped the hot chocolate off and rated it a 10/10 on my snobby scale.
Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Mama Bear’s Bakery and Café, Geist I don’t frequent the Geist side of Fishers very much, but I made a special trip out there after discovering that Mama Bear’s had some of the best hot chocolate in the state. If there was an award for this, I’m pretty sure it would be hanging on the ski lodge-esque café’s walls. Their hot chocolate was made with a toasted marshmallow syrup. It gave the smooth, creamy taste of the traditional hot chocolate topping which I preferred over the foaminess from actual melted marshmallows. The baristas also donned the top with cute latte art and a dash of cinnamon to customize the beverage. Craving whipped cream? They can top your hot chocolate with that instead of the milk designs.
Frozen Hot Chocolate (Spiked) Langton’s, Carmel This one is for the parents. Send your kids next door to a more family friendly café or bakery and cup your hands around this frozen delicacy. Crafted with Patron XO Incendio, Ghirardelli Chocolate Liqueur, Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur and topped with a fluffy whipped cream, this was a unique take on a spiked hot chocolate. Another twist? It’s actually served over ice. Yet, as you may guess, despite the iced beverage, Langton’s version of hot chocolate will do the job of warming you up even though it’s frozen. The Incendio gives the drink a little kick, but it’s not unbearable for the mild taste buds out there. Whether it’s a cold or warm day, treating yourself to this spiked nectar of the chocolate gods will warm your soul.

More semi-homemade Super Bowl food By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley We came up with this recipe because every Super Bowl party needs a platter of sandwiches that is expandable, tasty and easy. Looking for a more intense flavor, we made brats cooked in beer and special spices, served on kraut. To make the plate expandable for larger amounts of guests and for children, we cooked up some precooked stadium brats, and for the kids, apple chicken sausages. All the extra sausages should be browned in a separate skillet and placed on the bed of kraut as needed. The brats with kraut make a very satisfying sandwich if you crave German/Polish flavor Americanized. We love this dish served on poppy seed rolls with spicy mustard. Ingredients: • 1/8 teaspoon crushed celery seeds • 1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed • 1 teaspoon onion powder • 2 teaspoons dry mustard powder • 1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar • 1/2 cup sour cream • 1 pound fresh Johnsonville Original Bratwurst • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer • 32 oz. jar of Vlasic Polish Sauerkraut drained • Extra sausages – Johnsonville Stadium Style Cooked Brats and Johnsonville Apple Chicken Sausage Links (cooked) Preparation: Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet and brown each side gently over medium heat. Mix together beer and dry ingredients in a bowl making sure the brown sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover the skillet and raise heat to gently boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, for about 15 minutes. Roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated on all sides. Transfer brats to a platter and keep them warm. Add the sauerkraut and sour cream to the skillet and to mix with

Veal scaloppine marsala
Commentary by Ceci Martinez
Tonight my husband is treating us with a very special dinner at home for Valentine’s Day. Veal Scaloppine Marsala, one of his favorite dishes, is a mouth-watering classic. Notes: Proper cooking of scaloppine (Italian for “thin cut”) should produce a tender meat. Don’t cook scaloppine in sauce as it will toughen up. To stem shiitake mushrooms pinch off stem from its base. Serves: 4 / Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 1 pound veal scaloppine, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 red onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup), 6 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and cut in half, 1 1/2 cups medium sweet marsala wine, 3 tablespoons low-fat half-and-half, 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of unbleached white flour, 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary Directions: Season the scaloppine on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat half olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Quickly sear the scaloppine on both sides, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer veal to a platter. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the onion and mushroom and cook over medium heat until just beginning to brown,

about 4 minutes. Add marsala, half-and-half, butter and flour; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until sauce is reduced and thick, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste seasoning, adding salt and pepper if necessary. Reinforce the marsala flavor by adding a fresh splash at the end. Transfer scaloppine to sauce, sprinkle with rosemary and serve at once.

Teens and alcohol: Parental tips Commentary by Mary Ian McAteer, M.D. Teen alcohol use remains a serious problem. Peer pressure can be a strong influence for teenagers underage drinking in a time of life when “being an adult” takes on greater importance. With more teens dying each year in alcohol-related car accidents and evidence that suggests those who start drinking at an early age are more likely to misuse alcohol later in life, parents need to focus on ways they can help their children make good decisions about alcohol. This means starting the conversation early, modeling desired behavior, setting strict rules and staying involved. Talk about it. Parents can begin talking with their children about drinking in an ageappropriate way as early as fourth or fifth grade. As children reach the teenage years, conversations should become more frequent and point to specific dangers, such as impaired judgement, slower reaction time and the risk of misuse or addiction. Be a good role model. Parents are powerful role models. Children will learn a lot about drinking—responsibly or irresponsibly—by
watching their parents. Parents send messages to their children when they drink at a friend’s house and then drive home or come in the door after a hard day at work and immediately pour a glass of wine. Establish firm, consistent rules about drinking. Underage drinking is illegal—even in private homes and even with adult supervision. To protect your family, rules about underage drinking in the home—or in a friend’s home—should be no different than the law. Lovingly communicate this to your children, and be sure they understand the consequences. Stay involved. Know your teenager’s friends (and their parents, if possible). Pay attention to changes in attitude or behavior, including declining school performance or hesitancy to bring new friends to the house, which may signal alcohol use or other problems.

Blueprint for Improvement: Functional kitchen with a view Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to achieve a functional space for both everyday living and entertaining. 1. The new kitchen cabinetry added significant storage to the room. They especially love the accessories. The homeowners were able to find a home for the items stored in the garage and even items from a storage unit. 2. The cooktop in the new, larger island provides a great place for cooking, especially when entertaining. 3. A second island with significant seating was designed to be close to the new windows, overlooking the scenic reservoir. 4. Traditional materials such as the wood-look tile floor and glossy blue-green backsplash tile coordinate with the rest of the home, and flow with the theme of the water. 5. With the many cabinet glass inserts, the homeowners love that they can now display inherited items that have been in storage for several years!
Before Background Info: This home on Geist Reservoir in the Ashford Point neighborhood was built in 1998. The homeowners have lived there for 14 years but their home lacked the functionality and updates they needed for their family.
Before problems: The kitchen was not user-friendly or efficient. There was limited countertop space and cabinet storage. They kept several items in the garage that ultimately became a hassle when needed for cooking. They also do a lot of entertaining with family and friends that the space did not function well for.

Façade of Jaipur’s Palace of the Winds. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Palace of the Winds Commentary by Don Knebel Jaipur, in northwest India, is known today as the “Pink City.” Ironically, its most famous pink structure was designed in travel service of modesty. Jaipur was a planned city, constructed between 1727 and 1733 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, who became ruler of India’s Amber Kingdom at age 11. Unlike earlier Indian cities, Jaipur’s streets were laid out on a grid. The city, which became the capital of Jai Singh’s kingdom, was originally surrounded by a wall entered through one of seven gates. In the eighteenth century, Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the grandson of Jai Singh, faced a dilemma. The ladies of his large harem were prohibited from being seen in public, at least without their faces covered. But they begged to be allowed to observe the festivities on the colorful street near the palace. In 1799, Pratap Singh found a solution. He erected a 50-foot-high screen of red and pink sandstone adjacent the palace. The baroque façade of the screen, containing 953 windows, suppos-
edly suggests the peacock feathers of the crown of Krishna, a popular Hindu deity. A honeycomb of rooms behind the small windows allows members of the harem to sit or stand unseen while gazing toward the street below. The upper three stories are just one room deep, while the two lower stories open onto courtyards. Ramps connect the five levels. The design and placement of the protruding windows facilitate the flow of cooling air throughout the structure, giving it the name “Hawa Mahal,” the “Palace of the Winds.” Jaipur has been known as the Pink City since 1876, when English Prince Edward (later King Edward VII) made an official visit. In advance of his arrival, city officials emulated the famous Palace of the Winds by painting many of the city’s stucco buildings pink.
