OUR VIEWS

It is our position the sweeping online protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act was executed effectively by opponents of the bills. On Jan. 18, thousands of Web sites ceased operation for a day in a well-organized effort to educate the public on possible infringements to Internet freedoms, if the copyright protection bills were passed with their current wording. The top search engine, Google, even blacked out its banner for a day and put up a link to an online petition that collected 7 million signatures. Some referred to these tactics as a “cybertantrum.” Others reveled in the power of “geeks taking the streets.” Regardless, the cyber businesses executed its First Amendment right to “peacefully assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances” in a very clever way that would certainly be endorsed by the likes of John Galt. The protestors effectively occupied cyberspace without disease, crime-ridden encampments, intimidation or violence. As the saying goes, ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick’ – or bandwidth – as the case may be; you will go far. This peaceful cyber protest likely resulted in shelving of the bills, a redress effort worthy of addressing.

Bad protesters

It is our position the Right to Work protestors have crossed the line from peaceful assembly to overt intimidation by demonstrating at private residences of government officials. Fueling the fire are publicly elected officials who walked off the job for five weeks last summer and continue to boycott their civic duties and responsibilities, while creating a backlog of important legislative agenda items. Freedom to assemble is necessary to encourage free and open debate in a democracy. However, it is not a license to execute protest tactics that border on martial law, as evidenced by protestors picketing on the sidewalks at the private residences of House Speaker Brian Bosma and bill coauthor Rep. Jerry Torr. This tactic is not Theodore Roosevelt’s definition of a bully pulpit; it’s Tony Soprano’s. Although the legislation will reach the governor’s desk prior to the Super Bowl, the fight is likely not over. While Super Bowl organizers have space designated for freedom of speech demonstrators, we hope these protests remain peaceful and don’t overshadow the hard work thousands of volunteers have poured into hosting the world’s premier sporting event.

Hoosier hospitality

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Just like Night & Day As is our occasional wont, today we present random thoughts we cobbled together while wondering if we should even consider that paltry 82-percent discount on a Rolex watch (Hey, the e-mail said “genuine!”): • Entertainment. It’s huge. It’s multi-faceted. It’s also the grist for a section to debut in Current next week, Night & Day. Recent independent research results tell us you want more about “all things entertainment,” a category even broader than we imagined. And so, without spoiling the punch line, please look forward to what our editor, Christian Sorrell, has in store for all of us. And after reading issue No. 1, please provide feedback to him at christian@youarecurrent.com and us at info@youarecurrent.com. Enjoy! • We managed to take in the Super Bowl Village last week. What an impressive, comprehensive venue that was. Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard and his team really pulled out all the stops to accommodate the world’s greatest sporting event (other than Brian on a treadmill), and we believe the mayors in Hamilton County should take note of what can be done with infrastructure to ensure an event yielding memories that can last a lifetime. Did the traffic stink? Yes, it certainly did. But we knew that going in, so no com-

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg plaints. It was a magnificent evening. • Only 361 days until Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. Can’t wait to see how long it will take until the references to Hurricane Katrina come rolling out. Certainly, it was a tragedy, and, certainly, SB47 is just a football game. There should be no connection. • Mike Pence, the man we believe, at this writing, to be a worthy candidate to succeed Mitch Daniels as our governor was right on point last week, when he termed the Right to Work bill signed into law by Daniels “a victory for economic freedom and Hoosiers.” We’re all for that. • Just wait until the Republican candidates’ races for the presidential nomination turn ugly. You’ve seen nothing yet. What’s coming will make you wonder who’s who and what’s what.

Book by its cover

COMMENTARY By Terry Anker Whenever possible and practical, it makes sense to support local shops and restaurants. While there certainly are any number of out-ofstate or internationally-owned businesses that do good things in our town, the biggest and most vociferous advocates for our communities are ordinarily those that are homegrown. Pfizer may sell a ton of its pharmaceuticals in central Indiana, but it was Eli Lilly and Co. that threw its support behind our Super Bowl effort. Pfizer likely is helping get the big game slated for in New York, where the headquarters are based. But, I also like the fact local businesses are often smaller and closer to the intent of the original founders. They are more able to adapt to local influence and standards. And, they are much more likely to deliver a unique and distinctly regional attitude. In visiting one such indigenous establishment, I found myself in line behind an affable enough group of 20-something-year-olds. Wear-

ing neckties and white shirts, they were cleancut and polite in their demeanor. Yet as they passed and I approached the counter to greet the proprietor, I found him looking over my shoulder to keep an eye on these young men as they continued to peruse the merchandise. “Did you see the tats?” he asked. Indeed, I noticed one of the youngsters had an indecipherable tattoo emerging from his collar, just below his ear on the left nape of his neck. Did it mean he was likely going to rob the joint? Probably not. But it did remind me how we choose to communicate our individuality necessarily carries with it a number of messages that may be unintended, and even undesired. Just as we have a right to express, do others have a right to judge? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@ currentincarmel.com.

We asked, you answered. Here are the results from the recent online poll question: “What part of the Super Bowl are you most looking forward to this year?” The commercials – 39% (9 Votes); The fact that it’s in Indiana – 26% (6 Votes); The game – 22% (5 Votes); Madonna’s halftime show – 9% (2 Votes); The parties and food – 4% (1 Votes) To vote for the new online poll question – “How do you feel about the Right to Work bill?” – visit www.currentnoblesville.com.

COMMENTARY By Robert Herrington The early reviews are in, and so far, the Super Bowl festivities are a huge hit! As a disclaimer, this column was written a few days before the Super Bowl took place, so I’m hoping there was no incident that negates what I’m about to say. It brought a smile to my face to hear just days into Super Bowl week, national media outlets were applauding Indiana for its job in hosting the world’s largest sporting event. My dad always told us kids if you’re going to do something, then do it right the first time. It’s not like the state hasn’t hosted a slew of major events recently, but Indiana made sure we got it right the first time. Personally, I wasn’t going to visit downtown last week. Despite my dislike for slow walkers, confused visitors, ducking under or around picture-takers, outrageous parking prices and insane traffic, I went downtown to visit Super Bowl Village – twice. I hedged my bets both times and went down early in the week hoping to beat out the arrivals of visiting guests. The weather was unbelievable, and so was the Super Bowl Host Committee’s preparation. Once you found a place to park and made the walk to Georgia Street, everything was right there for you. The urban setting made for a perfect Super Bowl Village – full of excite-

ment, picture taking, live music, festivities and live tapings of ESPN and TV news shows. I first went down Tuesday night with my wife and one of my best friends, and again Wednesday afternoon with my sister and daughter. At night, the lights were going and the anticipation for Sunday’s game was palpable. Wednesday had more families – and strollers – but both had crowds that wanted to have the once-in-a-lifetime experience. That’s why I took my 6-monthold there. I know she won’t remember it, but at least she can say she was there later in life and has pictures to prove it. It may have been a national event, but it felt local (people stopped so I could move with the stroller and I was asked countless times if others could take a picture for me so everyone could be in the shot). The Hoosier spirit was alive as smiles were carried on the faces of almost everyone I passed. No matter who won the game – go Giants! – the true winner this year was Indiana, and hopefully, we can win again with the Colts and hosting privileges.

Expanding to become St.Vincent Fishers Hospital. Opening Spring 2013 13914 Southeastern Parkway Fishers, IN • (317) 415-9000

There’s Little to Waste at the Upcoming St.Vincent Fishers Hospital

1-877-831-1582

MyBrandNewLife.org

brandi Work on the upcoming expansion of St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast into St.Vincent Fishers Hospital is well under way. The project has been developed to earn a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) designation, which has been shown to increase patient and associate satisfaction while conserving natural resources. If there’s one thing a construction site has plenty of, it’s building materials and debris — everything from wood and drywall, to concrete and asphalt. But what may be surprising to some is how much of that material is wasted. As part of its LEED initiative, St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast is taking a greener approach with its construction waste, recycling most of what it generates. “The goal is to repurpose or recycle 75 percent of the waste generated during construction,” said Josh Hayes, assistant

project manager with Brasfield & Gorrie General Contractors. “We have individual dumpsters for recycling drywall, cardboard, wood, metals, plastic, asphalt and various types of clean-fill.” Wood waste is chipped into mulch. The asphalt and drywall are pulverized and reused. Discarded concrete, brick or stone is crushed and sold as gravel. Anything from the existing site that can be repurposed is carefully salvaged. Efficiency continues to be a major feature for the new hospital — right down to the brick and mortar. “We have a responsibility to the people as well as the resources of the Fishers community,” stated Gary Fammartino, the newly named administrator of the new St.Vincent Fishers Hospital. “Ensuring sustainability for the future is a must.” Completion of the project is scheduled for spring 2013.

Emergency Services The Emergency Services Department at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast can offer whatever care you might need in an instant — with a tender touch. “Being a smaller facility, we have a family atmosphere, and that’s what keeps people coming back to us,” ED Manager Heidi Abel said. “We’re proud of the fact that we run in the 99th percentile in patient satisfaction. That sets us apart.” Our laboratory and imaging services are just down the hall, so patients are diagnosed quickly. Along with the adult rooms, we have rooms specially designed for our pediatric patients, and offer games and other amenities to reduce their fear and apprehension. With an average “door-to-doctor” wait time of 15 minutes; we provide excellent patient care promptly and conveniently.

I had a lot of questions. And St.Vincent had all the answers. More than 16,000 people have found the answers to their questions at the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence. And — as our program continues to grow — we still offer every single patient ongoing support before and after their surgery.

Car rides now good COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson “Iceberg lettuce does not constitute a green vegetable.” This is what I inform my 13-year-old son as I’m driving him to band practice. He’s trying to convince me he’s a healthy eater based on his measly consumption of raw carrots, fried shrimp and the occasional nibble of the aforementioned lettuce. As irrelevant as this conversation sounds, I love the fact we’re actually communicating. Thanks to heart-to-hearts like this one, I’m now embracing my role as a short-people chauffeur and honestly enjoying car time with my kids. It wasn’t always this way. As any parent can tell you, transporting little ones is often an exercise in stamina, contortionism and futility. You can’t just “pop out” to the mall or “run over” to the grocery when you have young children, especially when you’re under strict naptime constraints, and the process of loading toddlers into a minivan can take longer than the trip itself. And when they’re too young to leave alone, it’s an all-or-nothing deal. If my preschooler had a play date, I also had to pack up his twin and baby sisters, and either pawn off my first grader at a neighbor’s, or drag him along, too. I used to dread leaving the house. I would do it, because my sanity depended on getting out, but I despised the whole packing process, and frankly, never cared much for the car ride itself.

Those long drives to the zoo and back were very lonely, indeed, when my kids could only cry, whine, fight or pee themselves. But oh, how the times change! My youngest turns 8 next month (at which time, she plans to burn her legally required booster seat), and with the twins 10 and the oldest a teen, finding oneon-one time is almost impossible. But not in the confines of the car. In that gloriously small space, each is a prisoner to my questions and must divulge, under threat of tardiness or nailson-chalkboard karaoke, the most intimate details of their young lives. So now, I actually look forward to cross-town practices, out-of-town games and downtown activities, because I’m able to engage in real, meaningful conversations with my offspring without the distractions of electronics. And even when I’m carpooling odiferous soccer teammates or neighborhood posse members, eavesdropping on their conversations provides tremendous insight into the type of child I am raising. Like an argumentative, possibly malnourished seventh grader. So bring on the car rides! Peace out.

Detlef Rathmann describes his image of the Community Vision for Excellence By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com On Feb. 1, Detlef Rathmann celebrated being retired for 10 years, but the Noblesville resident has a funny way of defining the word. If you spend five minutes in a room talking with Rathmann, it’s easy to hear his passion for the city of Noblesville and his picture for the Community Vision for Excellence, which he heads. “It’s such a positive experience. It’s not a job, it’s a task,” he remarked. “I’m working with great people in Noblesville. Almost everyone I come in contact with is on board.” During his 41 years in business, Rathmann worked in manufacturing management as a McGill Manufacturing plant manager in Monticello, Ind., before moving to Ann Arbor, Mich., to oversee two plants and build another four plants in the Midwest for NSK Corp. Staying active while “retired” is not a problem for Rathmann. He has taught business classes at Ball State University for three semesters, worked with the SCORE office for five and a half years, and in September 2010, he was hired as community vision coordinator. “He served as the chairman of the committee, and when it got to the point to run with this, he was the natural choice. He stepped up and volunteered,” said Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear. The Community Vision for Excellence began in 1993 as a benchmarking process with the first report published the next year. In 1995, the Benchmarking Steering Committee and Stewardship Committee was established. The first interim report was created in 1995, and the second interim report came out in 2002. Not much progress was made with benchmarking again until 2008-2010, when it was updated and had its name changed to Noblesville Community Vision for Excellence. “We had five people who really had a passion to put this vision together,” said Rathmann, who chaired the benchmark steering committee with fellow members Chris Hamm, Steve Ingram, Greg O’Connor and Mary Sue Rowland. “When the rubber hit the road was when Mayor Ditslear said I need someone to implement this. Now we’re really moving.” The Noblesville Vision for Excellence has five strategies under way and two more it is working to implement. The vision also has four overarch-

www.youarecurrent.com

ing goals: education, environment, growth and people. Each primary objective has at least five measurements to ensure the city is moving forward (some range up to 19 measurements). “Measurements drive our decisions with data – facts and figures and measurements,” said Rathmann. “The Community Vision for Excellence centers on the 52,000 of us (Noblesville residents). How can we make life as good as possible? The workforce revolves around jobs. If our community is better prepared, the better chance we have of having a low unemployment rate … We want people to have the best opportunity to work and have a good paying job so they live here and retire here.”

Meet Detlef Rathmann Age: 73 Birthplace: Berlin, Germany Residence: Noblesville Education: Valparaiso High School and Valparaiso University (Bachelor’s degree in business). Hobbies: Being on the water (Morse

Reservoir) – water skiing, boating and swimming. Rathmann also enjoys reading, running and spending time with his grandchildren. Quote: “If you don’t make dust, you are dust.” Rathmann said that motto was used in his business days to remind him and coworkers they had to work hard if they wanted to stay out in front of their competition.

Community Vision for Excellence ROADMAP Establish a Workforce Development Council – The Workforce Development Council’s mission is to prepare a workforce ready to immediately and positively contribute in today’s business environment. The focus will be to instill social, academic, technical and business skills to individuals not planning to attend educational institutions after high school, or for those who have worked their whole lives in a trade no longer needed. By providing better-prepared employees, Rathmann said work places can reduce costs and increase their efficiency. “It allows them to be more competitive and grow their business,” he said. “It also allows the city to say, ‘Look what we are doing for workforce development.’ We’re trying to make ourselves more attractive to companies.” Establish a Volunteer Network headed by a volunteer coordinator – Using grant money awarded

from the Duke Energy Foundation and the Legacy Fund, the city hired Cindy Benedict to serve as the Noblesville Volunteer Coordinator. Mayor John Ditslear said the network will provide a systematic means to support nonprofit organizations with volunteers to better accomplish the organizations’ respective goals and objectives. It also will fill gaps with volunteers where government, education and health care might have to consider reducing service because of funding shortages. “We learned from the recent citizen survey that people wanted more volunteer opportunities,” Ditslear said. Benedict has been a Hamilton County resident for six years and has more than 25 years of experience in volunteer management for professional organizations, universities, churches and social service agencies. “My passion is to connect people to organizations and events that help the community. I’m excited to

Current in Noblesville

begin work and help people quickly find the right volunteer fit for their skills and interests,” Benedict said.

Coordinate/expand continuing and nontraditional education – Detlef Rathmann, Community Visions of Excellence

Cordinator, said continuing education can include arts, sports, academic or technical classes. “It could be square-dancing lessons or how to sail a boat – anything that enhances the continuation to learn,” he said. The task force is looking to compile a list of what’s available for residents and determine what gaps there may be, and where there is duplication so resources can be used elsewhere.

Align the efforts by many to assist the marginalized and needy – Rathmann said the goal is to streamline

the process to assist those in need, and added the important issues are providing food, shelter and transportation. “If someone has a need, they need it now, not in five days,” he said. While volunteering at Grace Community Church, Rathmann has seen the need – saying he’s talked with people who didn’t know what they were going to do for dinner since they had nothing. “Let’s get this done without the federal and state governments. We need to take care of ourselves,” he said.

Coordinate community-wide health promotion/ awareness – The task force is working to provide a list of

opportunities for individual health improvements and publish such a list on a regular basis. Like other strategies, looking for duplication and gaps are crucial to improving the type and level of services.The sixth and seventh strategies in process include maintaining and following the City Development Plan, and maintaining and implementing the Downtown Strategic Plan.

City Council in 2012 – off and running COMMENTARY By Greg O’Connor I am a 24-year resident of this fine city and am privileged to have been reelected to my second term on the Noblesville City Council. My fellow councilmen have entrusted me with the responsibility of leading the Council in 2012, an opportunity I am looking forward to. This year, the returning councilmen – Brian Ayer, Mark Boice, Roy Johnson, Steve Wood and I – are welcoming two new members, Rick Taylor and Jeff Zeckel. Rick is a former firefighter, and Jeff brings his experience as a newspaperman and head of the farmer’s market to our group. I believe the Council members’ varied career experience will represent our community well as we work together to maximize the utilization of taxpayer dollars. Our focus for this year will be identifying priority projects, such as the development of Noblesville’s West Gateway. The zoning has already been approved for the area, and we will be discussing potential utilization to enhance our downtown and its offerings. The West Gateway is just one example of many matters we will discuss this year, attempting to keep the community’s needs and desires first. Another task for this year’s Council will be working with the economic development team and the city administration to identify corporations that can bring new employment opportunities to Noblesville. As the economy continues to improve in 2012, the Corporate

Campus will be ready with superior infrastructure, providing prospective employers an excellent location for their business and employees. We believe these companies will find the attributes Noblesville offers to be of high quality, which will allow them to attract and retain talented and motivated employees. February will bring the Council’s first retreat, giving us the opportunity to focus on current issues and longer-term planning. I find these retreats very useful, vetting all areas of concern before moving forward with any project or initiative at our regular meetings. Speaking of Council meetings, they are scheduled the second and fourth Tuesday evening of every month at 7 p.m. on the second floor of City Hall, and the public is welcome and encouraged to attend! The coming year brings challenges, but many opportunities for the City Council and the administration to work together to maintain and improve our citizen’s quality of life. I encourage anyone with questions or comments on council matters to contact me at goconnor@noblesville.in.us. I’m certain 2012 will be another successful year in moving Noblesville forward! Greg O’Connor is president of the Noblesville Common Council. He can be reached at goconnor@ noblesville.in.us. The council meets the second and fourth Tuesday evening every month in City Hall.

Main Street honors members, volunteers Extra Effort Award – The Goddard School Noblesville Main Street President Gail Nowicki said there are very few organizations that are willing to give as much time as Cathi Fuller and the Goddard School provided at events. “This past year the Goddard School was always there when we needed help with our First Friday programs. Not only did they bring manpower for our activities, but made our event stronger by providing activities of their own,” said Nowicki. “The Goddard School was also a very important part for the success of our annual duck race by assisting in the event and being one of our co-sponsors.” Merchant of the Year – Peggy Kumler Kumler became a member of the Noblesville Main Street Board of Directors in 2009 and has served as an active member on a variety of committees. “This year, our recipient went beyond the call of duty by organizing a new event called the Old Mill Festival,” explained Noblesville Main Street board member Mike Corbett. “She had so much success with the first event a second Old Mill Festival was presented in September. A net profit of more than $4,000 was realized for Main Street for her leadership on these events.” Board Volunteer of the Year – Dana Thompson Dana Thompson made the most of her first year on the Noblesville Main Street Board of Directors

Noblesville Main Street President Gail Nowicki presents Chelsea Johnson and Lindsey O’Neal of the Goddard School with the Extra Effort Award. “I’m shocked because so many people give so much to the organization. You think everyone deserves it,” said Thompson, Client Service Manager at Key Bank in downtown Noblesville. “For me to win this in my first year is very exciting.” Thompson served on the committee that organized the Noblesville Farmers Market. Previously, it was organized and ran by Jeff Zeckel for many years. The Noblesville Farmers Market runs every Saturday for 26 weeks from May to October. The committee spent a lot of time upgrading and adding a better image and service to both customers and local vendors. “The Farmers market wouldn’t be the success it is without Dana,” Nowicki said. Thompson has been a vendor at the farmers market for the past seven years and has seen the event grow from 45 vendors to 100 this past season.

Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville auction Feb. 18 By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com The 2012 Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Auxiliary Auction will be held on Feb. 18. This year’s auction will feature thousands of dollars worth of auction items, with all proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville. Last year’s auction raised more than $63,000 for the Noblesville Club. “It’s a great social event,” said Becky Terry, Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville executive director. “It’s a great time to hang out with people.” Terry said the “free-flowing event” will include touching stories on the club’s impact and an update on where things are going – along with “really good food.” “The live auction is hilarious and there are great things to bid on,” she said, adding two of this year’s auction items include a Corvette for the weekend, donated by Hare Chevrolet and an acrylic canvas painting, an original piece created by the children at the Boys & Girls Club. Terry said a portion of this year’s funds will be used to renovate the kitchen. Other funds raised from the event are used to provide programs for the Boys & Girls Club youth, like the Meals to Members, Weekend Snack Pack, incentives and field trips, camp scholarships and leadership clubs that do programs in the community. The event is hosted by the Ladies Auxiliary, which is heavily involved with the Boys & Girls Club. Terry said Auxiliary members volunteer ev-

What: The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Auxiliary Auction includes live and silent auctions, hors d’oeuvre buffet. Cost: $100 per person.

ery Monday and Thursday to serve an ever-increasing number of children hot dinners. The Auxiliary has continued the Weekend Snack Pack Program, where healthy snacks are sent home with 150 to 160 children to consume over the weekend. “Before Christmas, the Auxiliary hosts an Up Top Shop. They collect gently-used items and provide them for a quarter apiece,” said Terry. “Then, they stay late and wrap all the items for kids. It’s a big hit.” The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville serves children ages 5-18, with more than 1,900 members annually. Without the Club, many local youth would not have a safe and caring place to go after school. Membership is $40 a year, or $100 for a family of three or more. Membership applications can be found at the club, 1448 Conner St., or online at www.bgcni.org.

You’re eating engineered food, but you don’t know it COMMENTARY By Krista Bocko Experimental food. Food engineered to produce its own pesticides. Food that isn’t labeled as containing genetically engineered-ingredients and, since it’s a new thing, we humans have no idea what the long-term effects on our own health will be. Welcome to the 21st century food supply! I’ve known about and tried to avoid genetically-modified organisms for years, but lately have done some more reading and gotten riled up all over again because of how prevalent these ingredients are in our broken food chain. In a statement from the Center for Food Safety, most Americans say they wouldn’t eat food containing GMOs if it was labeled. But neither the U.S. nor Canada, unlike most industrialized countries, require foods containing GMOs to be labeled at all. That’s messed up. We have a right to know what we’re consuming. And if you’re buying and consuming commercial brands of cereal, conventional milk, factory farmed meat, soy and on and on, you’re consuming genetically-engineered food. One of the biggest biotech conglomerates engineering these genetically-modified crops

Hire Us Before Your Spouse Does

and seeds is the one that makes toxic Roundup. This is what the agribusiness is now – huge conglomerates making chemicals and supplying engineered crops to the masses. This is what I hate about food shopping. I have to examine every freaking ingredient label for what I want to avoid. High-fructose corn syrup? That’s GMO corn. Nope. Milk containing rBST or rBGH? That’s genetically-engineered hormones to make cows produce more milk. Nope. Factory-farmed meat? Those animals have been fattened with GMO corn, which is most certainly not their natural diet. Nope. I’m losing my appetite just thinking about grocery shopping. Here are the four common GMO ingredients to avoid: corn, soy, canola and cottonseed oil. Be aware and concerned about our food supply.

DISPATCHES » Easy popcorn technique – You can make your own delicious, low-fat microwave popcorn using standard popping corn and a brown paper lunch bag. You’ll need onehalf cup of unpopped popcorn, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and one-half teaspoon of salt. In a cup or small bowl, mix together the unpopped popcorn and oil. Pour the coated corn into a brown paper lunch sack and sprinkle in the salt. Fold the top of the bag over twice to seal in the ingredients. Cook in the microwave at full power for two to three minutes, or until you hear pauses of about two seconds between pops. Carefully open the bag to avoid steam, and pour into a serving bowl. -www.allrecipes.com » Bogus online reviews – Hotels seeking positive reviews on Web sites such as TripAdvisor have two legitimate options: provide great service and/or post management responses to guest reviews. Instead, the marketing director at a chain of 10 hotels in Ireland apparently urged hotel employees to post fake reviews on the TripAdvisor site. The Irish Times reports in summer 2010, the marketing director for the Dublin-based Carlton Hotel Group sent e-mails to the hotel’s directors and more than two dozen employees, detailing a plan

to organize 150 internal “TripAdvisor Posters” who would review the company’s hotels, take pictures and post false write-ups. -www.overheadbin.msnbc.com » Preparing to garden – Start a garden record book now, recording the dates of first and last frosts, sowing seeds, planting, transplanting, time of bloom, first fruits, fertilizing, problems with pests and other information. During a period of years, this will be an invaluable record. Also, remember this rule of thumb for planning perennial gardens: The width of the garden should be about twice the height of the tallest plant growing in it. -www.almanac.com

» Be more creative – According to a new study in “Psychological Science,” physically acting out metaphors for creative thinking can boost your actual creativity. Researchers had students sit either inside or outside a 5 foot by 5 foot cardboard box while they performed word tasks. Lo and behold, those who worked outside the box scored much better at the creative task. The surprising results back up “embodied cognition,” or the idea feelings through your body can actually affect the thinking in your mind, says study coauthor Suntei Kim, University of Michigan. -www.menhealth.com

Capt. Critic’s DVD pick

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 PG-13, 117 minutes

The beginning of the end DVDs By Chris Lloyd It’s now a common thing for film franchises based on popular books to split them into more than one movie. “The Lord of the Rings” did it successfully, then “Harry Potter” played copycat. Now the “Twilight” books have done so, with much inferior results. I have no problem splitting up a book when there’s simply too much story to tell in a single two-hour (or even three-hour) movie. As long as there’s narrative momentum and character development, make 17 movies if it pleases. But with “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” there’s just not a whole lot of tale to tell. The tale feels stretched and pulled like cheap carnival taffy to make it resemble a complete whole, when it’s really a whole lot of exposition about vampires brooding and werewolves gnashing their frustration.

Planning spring break? Expect to pay more TRAVEL By Tracy Line February is here. You know what that means, don’t you? Spring break is a mere seven weeks away for Noblesville families. If you’re looking to join the masses and get away this spring, it’s time to get your plans in place. Many people I talk with don’t realize spring break is a high-travel season. Clients are surprised to discover cruise ships and hotels are full. A little understanding can save you an immense amount of frustration. Spring break is late-February to mid-April. Some colleges have spring break as early as mid-February, and schools in the East have break in mid-April. What does this mean to you? High demand equals higher prices. Expect to pay more, and the sticker shock won’t be so bad. More travelers equal more time. Just as stores get crowded during the holidays, airports, highways and hotels are filled in the spring. You’ll need to pack a pinch of patience in your luggage. Pull it out when your flight gets delayed, or when your tired family is waiting in the car rental line at 2 a.m. in Orlando (as mine did last year). There’s more to spring break than Florida. Florida is a top destination for Hoosiers, but spring breakers across the nation go everywhere. Even if you decide to take a different path, expect larger crowds. The likes of New Orleans, Chicago, Las Vegas and the Smoky Mountains get many visitors in the spring months. Is it worth it? Ask your kid. My guess is, he or she will say yes. If there’s room in your budget, a family vacation is a great way to create memories. And in the end, memories are all we have. Tracy Line is the owner of Noblesville Travel and a travel writer.

Upscale buffalo-chicken mac and cheese What’s with all these mac and cheese recipes? Is it the comfort-food aspect or maybe the ability to use an old dish as an inspiration to create something special? Here’s another mac and cheese recipe I received that would make a hit for your Super Bowl party, especially if you have anyone less than 40 years old in attendance. This age group developed a love for buffalo wings in the ’90s. Basically, these spicy wings are chicken in Frank’s Cayenne Pepper Sauce and butter. You, too, can send me your special recipe by emailing drozda@tailgatershandbook.com. Ingredients: 1 pound of your favorite neat pasta (doesn’t have to be macaroni); 1 pound cubed white meat chicken; 2 cups cream; 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese; 8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese; 4 ounces grated parmesan cheese; Three-fourths cup of Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce (or Frank’s Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce); One-fourth cup flour; One-half stick of butter; One-fourth teaspoon salt; One-fourth teaspoon ground black pepper Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 F.

pasta al dente (not too soft). Grill two skinless chicken breasts then slice them one-fourth to one-half inch thick. Now cube the slices. In a medium saucepan, simmer cream and add salt and pepper, then set aside. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, then above cream and spices. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Add cheeses and Frank’s sauce and mix well. Place the pasta in a large bowl. Then mix in cheese/cream mixture and chicken. Spray a large casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread pasta mixture into dish. Sprinkle top with grated parmesan cheese. Cook 30 to 40 minutes until bubbly and the top is crispy. Serves eight

DISPATCHES » Routine scans causing thyroid problems? – People who undergo common procedures, such as CT scans and angiograms, may be at greater risk for thyroid problems, according to a recent study. The study found people who received intravenous iodinated contrast media, which helps doctors see blood vessels and organs during imaging procedures, had a higher chance of developing hyperthyroidism than those who did not. -www.myhealthnewsdaily.com » Unnecessary surgeries? – One in four women who undergo breast-conserving surgery to remove cancer will be called back for more surgery, a new study finds. Moreover, the chance a woman will have additional surgery varies greatly depending on where she gets it done and the surgeon that performs it, the researchers said. This suggests some of these surgeries are unnecessary. Because each surgery takes a physical, psychological and economic toll on patients and affects the course of cancer therapy, doctors need to come to better agreement on which patients require additional surgery and which do not, said researchers from Michigan State University. -www.livescience.com » Strong muscles and longer life? – In a clinical study, researchers followed 8,762 men between the ages of 20 and 80. They assessed participants for muscle strength and aerobic fitness, using standard measures such as leg and bench presses, and exercise tests on treadmills. During a period of time, 503 men died – 145 from cardiovascular disease and 199 from cancer. For men with the highest levels of muscular strength, the study found a 29 percent reduced risk for death from cardiovascular disease, a 32 percent lower risk of death from cancer and a 23 percent lower risk of death from any cause, as compared to men with the lowest level of muscle strength. -www.bottomlinepublications.com » Caffeine alters estrogen – A new study of women ages 18 to 44 found drinking coffee and other caffeinated beverages can alter levels of estrogen. But the impact varies by race. In white women, for example, coffee appears to lower estrogen, while in Asian women, it has the reverse effect, increasing levels of the hormone. The study looked at women of child-bearing age who enjoy a daily cup have little reason to fret, the researchers said. The effects of caffeine on estrogen are so minimal that in healthy women, it has no impact on ovulation or overall health, at least in the short term. -www.nyt.com

How to protect your heart HEALTH By Dr. Mark Fisch Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women. However, there is a gender gap when it comes to diagnosing and treating it. Did you know women are more likely to die than men after experiencing their first heart attack? The reason for this finding is due to a multitude of factors, including, but not limited to, the actual symptoms women develop and also how heart disease is diagnosed in women. It is not uncommon for men and women to exhibit different signs and symptoms of heart attacks. Like men, women’s most common symptom is chest pain, though women tend to also report other symptoms, such as, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting and upper back pain. In regard to diagnostic testing, an exercise EKG treadmill stress test alone is often less accurate in women than men when making the diagnosis of heart disease. One way to improve the accuracy of the test is to perform it in conjunction with some type of cardiac imaging.

An actual heart attack can be confirmed with simple tests, such as an EKG and/or a troponin blood test. These tests, along with a complete physical assessment and history by a physician, can make the diagnosis of a heart attack and quickly determine the appropriate treatment. Signs and symptoms of a heart attack: • Stomach or abdominal pain • Crushing chest pain • Dizziness or nausea • Unexplained feelings of anxiety, fatigue or weakness – especially with exertion • Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing • Discomfort, tightness, uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes, or comes and goes • Pressure or pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck, upper back, jaw or arms • Clammy sweats, heart flutters or paleness Tips for leading a heart-healthy lifestyle: • Maintain a healthy weight • Don’t smoke • Exercise every day (even if it’s light exercise) • Eat heart-healthy foods Dr. Mark Fisch is a cardiologist with IU Health Physicians Cardiology.

DISPATCHES » Younger investors avoiding stocks – In 2008, according to a study, just 14 percent of all investors less than 35 years old indicated they were either unwilling to take any investment risk or willing to take only below-average risk for below-average gains. Flash-forward to 2011, and the share of investors in this age group who are the most risk averse had nearly doubled to 27 percent, while the share of those who were the most risk tolerant had decreased to 31 percent. This stands in stark contrast to the risk appetite of their older peers. Thirty-eight percent of investors aged 35 to 49 are currently willing to assume at least above-average risk, while only 15 percent are highly risk averse. -MoneyWatch » Year-end housing data released – Yearend housing data for 2011 showed continued growth in central Indiana, according to the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors. In central Indiana, the average sales price of homes increased by 2.4 percent to $155,499 in 2011. Median sales price for the year experienced an increase of 1.6 percent to $124,000. December-only numbers increased by 0.8 percent to $121,000. Momentum picked up noticeably in the second half of 2011. While closed sales for the year increased just 1.2 percent, the six-month review showed an 18.3 percent increase over the same time period in 2010. » Bring your wife to buy a car – Men looking for a new car would be welladvised to bring their wives, a new study suggests. Some 67 percent of women order a vehicle inspection during a lease transfer versus just more than 54 percent of men, according to the research by LeaseTrader.com, a car leasing Web site. Women buyers also ask different, more probing questions than men. They inquire about safety performance, incident history and a general sense of a vehicle’s overall functionality given certain circumstances, the study says. -www.smartmoney.com » ‘World’s worst banker’ – He didn’t go to jail.

Ricker’s decked out in support of Third Phase editorial@youarecurrent.com Ricker Oil announced its fundraising efforts for Third Phase, Hamilton County’s largest shelter, food and clothing pantry, Jan. 19, with a kick-off at its Fishers location. Third Phase is a Christian-based ministry that serves as a Red Cross emergency shelter, a distribution center for a local food bank, a resource for those in need of clothing and household items and a second chance for at-risk girls and women. During the next four to five weeks, the following Hamilton County area Ricker’s locations will participate in the fundraiser, selling cards of Pops the Clown – the Ricker’s mascot – for $1: 96th Street Ricker’s (3201 E. 96th St.), Carmel Ricker’s (1850 E. 151st St.), Fishers Ricker’s (9797 E. 116th St.) and the Noblesville Ricker’s (16788 Clover Rd.).

How To: Apply Metallic Shadow

It’s a great look, when it’s done right. Other times, a metallic shadow can look flaky, or even too outdated for your style. Instead of passing on this trend all together, though, take our advice for applying the perfect metal shade for you. • Step One - Sweep the shadow of your choice across your lids, being sure to stay below the brow bones. • Step Two - Lightly line your eyes with a black eye pencil. Use more pressure at the outer corners to really make eyes pop. • Step Three - Brighten up the inner corners by dabbing a lighter shadow. For more makeup tips and trends, visit one of Salon 01’s estheticians! Call 580-0101 to book your consultation today.

DISPATCHES » Painless waxing? – Dr. Edna Ma, an anesthesiologist in Santa Monica, Calif., claims to have created a product that’s easy to use and eliminates the discomfort associated with hair removal by numbing the area beforehand. Her creation, BareEase & Cream, is a kit featuring a lidocaine-based cream infused with aloe and jojoba to soothe and moisturize skin. Wear the cream underneath the enclosed latex underwear for 30 to 45 minutes to safeguard the cream from air and allow for maximum absorption. Once the cream is removed, you’ll be numb for about 15 to 20

minutes, so you’ll need a quick and efficient aesthetician.

Unlike a powder, a primer won’t cake; unlike blotting papers, it won’t lift off your makeup. Try Bare Escentuals Prime Time Oil Control Foundation Primer ($21, Sephora).

Remembering those who have served our families COMMENTARY By Darla Kinney Scoles The popular novel and movie, “The Help,” chronicles the lives of several 1960s southern families and those who served them, raising awareness of the extreme nature of the time period when those who served were treated as less. There can be another purpose to writing about individuals in our lives who have served our generations, however, as they often have a profound impact on us and our futures. As a young southern girl, I did not have a maid in my household, though several neighbors did. What we did have, though, was a man who came each week to take care of our yard. Not only did this man tend to our landscaping needs, he did the same for everyone on our street, as far as my then-young mind can remember. He did not do this the way landscapers do now – with crews and equipment swooping in to race through each lot, finishing a block of work in one day. He took great pains to carefully manage each unique yard the way each homeowner preferred, usually spending the entire day at one residence. His name was Columbus, and he was far older than any of the men living in the homes he served. The rickety truck he drove was old as well. I remember him as kind, soft-spoken,

polite and thin as a rail – yet quick to laugh out loud, showing a gold tooth in the front. The tooth fascinated me, as it was a sharp contrast to the rest of this dark, weathered soul. His always-clean clothes hung on him like someone who just lost 100 pounds, only I don’t think Columbus had undergone any weight-loss transformation; I suspect he had been thin his entire life. He often talked of eating from his garden and fishing in the lake behind our house for dinner. He talked quite a bit if you were out there with him. I spent time with Columbus as often as I could. He never made me feel like I was a bother, and I never felt awkward in his presence. Integration, when it came to my school, was no big deal to me. Columbus had taught me how to love everyone – as he trimmed the hedges and raked the leaves. Is there a server in your family history? Preserve his or her story as well.

Shower and freestanding tub transform bathroom REMODELING By Larry Greene Original bathroom: This home was built in 2001 in the downtown Village area in Zionsville. The owner is the first and only owner of the home. She purchased the home knowing she was going to remodel the master bath. According to the owner, “The design of the master bathroom was extremely poor. It was not an old house with a cramped, out-of-date bathroom like many people have in older homes. My bathroom had tons of space, it was just not used very well. The floors were carpeted! But I bought the house despite the bathroom.” Bathroom finish details: The design included completely gutting the old bathroom and creating a new enlarged shower enclosure and separate tub area. The new, white thermo foil stock cabinets are topped with 3-centimeter, emerald-pearl granite countertops with a square-polished edge detail. This same granite material was used to cap off the bench seat in the shower and the half wall caps. The new expanded shower includes white ceramic tiled walls in a combination of staggered, herringbone and soldier stack patterns. The shower enclosure is three-eighths-inches thick clear, frameless glass

with brushed nickel hardware. Freestanding tub in tiled niche: The new freestanding tub is enclosed in a niche area tiled with subway tile, installed in a staggered pattern to roughly 60 inches high and capped with chair rail trim. The new tub is a white Victoria + Albert freestanding York model tub measuring 69 inches by 32 inches. The tub faucet is a Delta Dryden model deck mounted tub filler with a hand shower in a chrome finish. Final result: The homeowner is thrilled with the result and stated, “I now have a large, stunning shower. The freestanding tub is one of the highlights, though my favorite part of the overall design is the tile work. Before The remodel completely changed the bathroom, which now uses space well and has beautiful finishes.” Larry Greene is the president of Case Design/ Remodeling, a full-service design/build firm serving Hamilton County.

The incomparable crock LAUGHS By Mike Redmond You have to be careful what you say these days. I realize this is a sentiment usually expressed by people who wear colanders on their heads in order to keep the CIA from reading their thoughts. That, of course, is just ridiculous. The CIA does not read people’s brain waves. Queen Elizabeth does. Anyway, I’m talking about a language-monitoring presence greater than the CIA, greater than Queen Elizabeth, greater even than the old lady down the road listening to your conversation on the party line. I’m talking about the National Football League. The NFL is very, very protective of its property. And this brings us to the reason people need to guard their speech. Maybe you’ve seen the ad for the car dealership that offers customers a chance on tickets to A Really Big Football Game. What they are doing is trying not to run afoul of copyright laws that require the NFL’s permission before you use the words “Super Bowl.” (Oops.) Gone are the words superintendent, superseding, superlative and insuperable. In their place, please use boss, replacement, swell and difficult. Restaurant servers should be careful to enunciate clearly when offering soup or salad.

Now, we get to the question of what to call the Big Game. Please select from the following synonyms for super, thanks to Thesaurus.com: glorious, incomparable, keen, magnificent, marvelous, outstanding, peerless, sensational, terrific and wonderful. Now choose from these synonyms for bowl: basin, boat, casserole, crock, dish, porringer, pot, tureen, urn and vessel. Welcome to Indianapolis, home of the: Glorious Casserole, Outstanding Urn, Magnificent Dish or my personal favorite, Incomparable Crock. Now, the NFL isn’t alone in this copyright protection business. Heaven help the unfortunate TV huckster who mentions “March Madness” without paying the dues. And the same goes for another aggressively-protected trademark, “American Idol.” So, my friends, a word to the wise: Watch your language. Or, to be more specific, watch the NFL’s language, because they own it. And keep that colander on your head. You never know, Queen Elizabeth might be listening.
