Student band jazzes up theater performance By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hard work has paid off for Noblesville jazz students. Seven students were selected music to perform in the Historic Embassy Theater as part of the AllState Jazz Band in Fort Wayne Jan. 13. The jazz band was one of the featured performances at the IMEA (Indiana Music Educators Association) Convention, the annual music educator conference. Six Noblesville students were in the Junior All-State band and one in the AllState band. “These students worked outside of class on their own to produce incredible audition recordings that impressed some of the top jazz musicians and professors in the state,” said Bethany Robinson, assistant band director and jazz director. “For students to take that kind of initiative and dedication to the uniquely American music of jazz is a rare accomplishment.” Robinson said it is the highest number of students ever to represent Noblesville at the Jazz All-State Level. During the two-day conference, students were able to work with world-renowned directors like Todd Stoll, the president for the

National-Level Jazz Organization JEN (Jazz Education Network), Robinson said. Stoll is the vice president of education at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. Robinson said the group also enjoyed a performance and master classes from the Ball State University Jazz Faculty. “One of the greatest joys in education is exposing students to new genres of music they might not otherwise discover,” Robinson said. “For students to then enjoy and pursue it outside of class just shows how engaged and dedicated they are to their own learning
process. To see young students on such a big stage playing and soloing was a very proud moment for me as a Noblesville educator. They represented our school so well, both musically and with their character.” The Junior All-State students were East Middle School eighth-grader Jacob Renner, West Middle eighth-grader Vincent Hammer, freshmen Grace Wiles, Mark Miller, Aidan Board and Kelly Reagin Foley was a member of the All-State band and the others were named Junior All-State.

Four Republican state lawmakers explained why they are in favor of increasing the state gas tax at a town transportation hall-style meeting Jan. 26 in Carmel. State senators Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville) and John Ruckelshaus and state representatives Donna Schaibley and Jerry Torr gathered at the Carmel headquarters of Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy group known for opposing tax increases, to answer questions and share why they believe a tax hike is necessary. State representatives have proposed House Bill 1002, which would increase the gas tax by 10 cents per gallon and cap additional annual increases at 1 cent per gallon. “We have not had an increase in the gas tax since 2003, which means we’ve actually had a decrease in the gas tax every single year since then in terms of its purchasing power,” Kenley said. The state gas tax is currently 18 cents per gallon. Without action, Indiana will have a $1 billion annual road funding deficit over the next 20 years, according to Kenley and Ruckelshaus. Kenley, a 25-year Senate veteran, said he ran for re-election in 2016 in part because he believes finding a solution for long-term road funding is “so important.” “Indiana cannot afford not to do this and do it right,” he said. “Our economy depends on good roads. We are the Crossroads of America.” AFP opposes an increase in the gas tax. It advocates instead for all gas tax revenues to be spent on roads and bridges, freezing state spending and using a projected $1 billion tax revenue increase to pay for road repairs.
“The feel around the state is if we know that this revenue is going to roads, then we would be willing to pay a little bit more,” AFP State Director Justin Stevens said. “That’s the sentiment I’m getting, but that’s not currently what’s happening.” Kenley said he’s hesitant to commit all gas taxes to road and bridge repairs because the state would have to find ways to pay for other needs currently funded in part through the gas tax, and that would likely lead to another tax increase down the road. Schaibley said increasing the gas tax to fund road improvements makes sense because it’s a user fee. “I firmly believe the people who are using the roads should be paying for them,” she said. Not everyone in the audience agreed. Melba Kiser of Noblesville said a gas tax hike is unfair to people like her husband, whose jobs require that they spend much of their time on the road. “The decision to drive is not an option. It’s a necessity,” she said. “There are many people with modest incomes who have to drive long distances in order to make a living. It is a significant burden on someone who is at a medium to low income.”
HB 1002 In addition to raising the gas tax, as of Jan. 29 HB 1002 would: • Increase alternative fuel decal fees by 50 percent • Establish a $15 transportation infrastructure improvement fee with vehicle registration • Establish a supplemental registration fee of $150 for electric vehicle registration • Ease restrictions on establishing toll roads

BY THE NUMBERS 2016 in HAMILTON COUNTY “There are food pantries and families that are hungry in every community in Hamilton County,” Gleaners President and CEO John Elliott said. “Numerically, just by the number of people who are hungry, it’s one of the top counties in the state. That’s more a matter of population in the county rather than percentage. It doesn’t matter if it’s 20,000 in one county or 20,000 in another, it’s still a lot of hungry people. There’s a need for continuing education and awareness in Hamilton County. Even those who are actively involved may not quite realize how much of it needs to stay right in their community.”
New Gleaners CEO looks to 2017 initiatives to help shape future of food bank By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Noblesville resident John Elliott has been five months on the job in his new role as CEO and president of Indiacover story napolis-based Gleaners Food Bank. Having worked previously in government, media and charitable relations for Kroger, Elliott is looking to 2017 to be a year of making strategic strides for the organization to be as efficient Elliott as possible. PRODUCE-MIXING CENTER Working as a member of Feeding America, a national hunger relief nonprofit, Gleaners is one of 199 of the group’s food banks in the U.S. and recently was chosen as one of eight to serve as a produce-mixing center. “We’re soon to launch a pilot or test phase of the produce-mixing center,” said Elliott, adding that Gleaners headquarters on Indy’s south side is the second-largest in the country behind one in Dallas, Texas. “Because we have extra square feet, we’re not necessarily the largest in terms of volume of food, and that extra capacity in the building is one reason we’ve been selected as one of eight of those regional produce centers around the country,” Elliott said. Elliott said because of Gleaners’ purchasing power, the implementation of the mixing center will at least double the volume of produce distributed. “This is a huge initiative, and that means purchasing produce as a co-op, which – my hope is – will have a disproportionately positive impact for Indiana farmers,” Elliott said. “The more we can buy produce, we’re at the front of the process, not waiting for produce that’s approaching expiration or is left over. If we’re buying straight from the farmer, we’re getting the freshest and highest-quality produce, just like any other wholesale buyer, with more time to distribute it, which means we’re throwing away less and more people get it.

It’s about quality and quantity. It’s also really about variety, and with variety of produce comes more nutrition.” PANTRY PARTNERS Pantry Partners is an initiative with Gleaners Food Bank that works with local pantries to accommodate needs of clients. Pantry Partners are larger pantries by volume of clients served, like Grace Church’s pantry, the Grace Care Center, at 146th Street and Hazel Dell Road in Noblesville. “They’re set up in the way that they operate, the hours they’re open, the mix of food that they offer, to handle a larger volume, but also to be open at a variety of hours so that we’re not unintentionally having a negative impact on the challenges families are facing,” Elliott said. “Think about someone who is working, but they’re not making enough money to pay all of their household costs. They may need help for one week out of the month with food. You don’t want to have their pantry options open only during their work hours.” SOFTWARE REPLACEMENTS After recently receiving funding from Lilly Endowment, Gleaners will soon replace software that supports all operations and finan-
cial management. There also will be a second software replacement that will support all fundraising and donor-relations activity. “Those are $100,000 initiatives each with all the hardware and people cost,” Elliott said. “That’s why we’re sitting here with out-ofdate software. But like any other nonprofit, you sit here and think, every dollar I spend on software, utilities or trucks could be three meals. That’s something I quickly realized in this role. I’m going to wake up every morning and think about every dollar spent that means somebody didn’t get three meals. So, when you have a donor like Lilly Endowment that comes along, it’s so enabling. You don’t feel like you’ve made an either-or choice. You can do both.” In the future, as the organization grows, Elliott said he expects there will need to be a shift in how daily donations and operations are handled and made. “If we’re going to continue to be as efficient as we are now and meet more of the hunger need in the future,” he said, “we have got to significantly shift from loose cans coming in the back door to dollars coming in.”

A blast from my Kentucky past

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
To readers: Door is open There has been a lot of slap-back in recent days regarding this column and the one penned weekly by associate editor Terry Anker. Speaking only for this column, we write in this little corner of the newspaper to share our views. We’re here to stir discussion, not to raise hell. This could come as a surprise to many among the readership, but we actually talk and sometimes debate about what to write for the next edition. It should be of absolutely no surprise that we’re conservatives, but not Republicans. Lately, given our leanings (not spewing hate, as some state in emails to us), feathers have become ruffled. That wasn’t the goal. The objective was and is to encourage discussion on any number of points. This is neither an apology for anything you have read in this space nor is it a condemnation of viewpoints counter to ours. Previously, we have made the offer to those whose views differ from ours to write their own piece in this space. We meant it, and we still mean it. It absolutely will be printed, as long as it remains G-rated, and it only will be edited for editorial style, grammar and spelling; never would the tenor of the writing be changed. We recognize our communities are evolving, that this swath of Indiana no longer is fully Republican Central, and so the door still is open to anyone that wishes to share his or her views. Anyone. We will offer this warning, however: This column holds “approximately” 279 words. Writing for this space sometimes can be an arduous exercise of heavy selfediting required. In all sincerity, if you wish to join us, welcome aboard! Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC.

Food for thought
Commentary by Terry Anker
Food – we eat it every day and yet most of us know precious little about it. In my younger years, we grew and maintained a garden. Actually, it was a reasonably sizeable one. My city girl-bride was charmed by the notion of harvesting our own fruits and vegetables. We ate all we could and would often preserve by canning the rest. Through the years, we became most pleased with our salsa. It was tangy and unique. In a day when Chi-Chi’s dominated our collective notion of it, ours was a something, as Monty Python’s troop might say, entirely different. But as with many good things, life got in the way. Spraying and fertilizing a pair of juvenile apple trees to make a tasty applesauce gave way to the lure of a quick pop of the lid of the Gerber baby food jar to feed our hungry young ones. Convenience overwhelmed good intentions. Family held onto the old ways as mom continued to make
homemade applesauce long after we’d given up the pressure cooker. But eventually, we all came to accept store-bought as a fixture of our modern and more urban lives. It is rightly said, “All things old are new again.” Earlier this year, I was encouraged to join a young, and way-more-hip, friend to take a class on canning. Deciding simple best, I stuck with pickled green beans – perfect for a game-day Bloody Mary. The result was sublime – not that the outcome was remarkable, but I was reminded of the connection between our food and us. Our Hoosier State is rife with innovation in agriculture. Today, tall buildings house indoor vertical farms, and plants grow with innate insect resistance. Maybe it is time to learn a bit more. Maybe, it is time to plant again.

As I approach my 10-year anniversary with Current, I’ll be sharing some of my most “famous” columns. Here’s the humor one that forever changed my spouse’s identity: Pardon me, but my Kentucky is showing. Over the weekend, as I lay in bed, I heard what sounded like a small critter shuffling behind me. My first thought was “squirrel in the chimney,” but as the scratching shifted, I knew it had to be the attic. I went to fetch my man, who will heretofore be called “Doo” in reference to Loretta Lynn’s husband. Doo confirmed that something was definitely up there, but said not to fret. I managed to fall asleep until more creepy pawing awoken me. Dang nabbit! I went outside to take a gander, but couldn’t see nothing.’ Then a demon with two pointy ears came into focus on the roofline, and I, naturally, hightailed it to safety. At first light, Doo and his trusty broom discovered our perp, a big mother of a raccoon. He tried to scare the varmint onto the roof, but no good. The coon hunkered down between the joists. “I’ll be back,” Doo shouted, as he sped off in his truck. Now armed with a pellet gun, Doo returned to the attic, ready to go all “Deliverance” on the critter. From the front yard, I heard pop! pop! and then Doo hollerin’, “I got him!” Though we couldn’t find a body, we claimed victory. That night, however, our worst nightmare was confirmed. The dern raccoon was alive! So Doo again grabbed his gun and headed into the fray, while I sprinted outside. As I stood barefoot in a bathrobe, Doo bounded from the door in nothin’ but a pair of cut-offs, yellin’ he’d finally nailed the sucker. How Butcher Holler is that? Me and Doo, half naked at midnight, trying to kill a coon with a shotgun? Peace out, y’all.

REA D ERS ’ V I E W S Main Street music events need variety Editor, I read in the Current that there is a new Main Street Leadership Team. I am hoping that the new team will do a better job of scheduling the outdoor concerts for the upcoming summer series by the Noblesville Courthouse. About three years ago, somebody did a great job of getting quality music groups for the every-other-Friday venue. There are
a lot of great groups out there. Although I do appreciate the thoughts behind obtaining Noblesville High School jazz bands, could you at least limit those local bands to just maybe two for the season? Last year it was every single one, and I was very disappointed the last couple years because formerly it was very good. Thanks. Hope it gets better this year. Sherry Scott, Noblesville
You can smell your condescension Editor, Protest has been a part of the fabric of America since American colonists shared “their own personal point of view” by telling King George where he could stick his tea. Protests have been responsible for: workplace safety; anti-child-labor laws; women’s right to vote; use of birth control and to obtain their own credit; civil rights; funding for AIDS research and education; and LGBTQ rights, etc. When the voice of one might get lost, the voices of many, raised in unison, move mountains. Mr. (Terry) Anker, you can smell your condescension in your disparaging tone, as you describe a participant in the march in terms of her appearance rather than her substance. A woman of means shouldn’t care about what happens to others outside her social circle or economic stratum? You can hear it in your
tone, as you belittle the causes important to the women (and men) who marched. We march to encourage and support more women and minorities to run for office. We are ensuring that our daughters and granddaughters are not fighting the same fights in another 100 years. We are showing politicians that the status quo is not acceptable; we will be holding them accountable for representing the needs of all their constituents. We remind Mr. Trump that a mere 25 percent of voters elected him; he needs to work with us and not against us. We are made up of men and women from all political parties, ages, ethnicities, religions, education levels, sexual orientations and economic backgrounds. All are welcome to take this journey with us. We are marching forward, to 2018 and beyond. Shannon Fowler, Cicero
Tobacco tax must be raised Editor, I am writing you to express a very important issue to me and my community, the increase in tobacco tax. Indiana is a state that smokes. One in five Hoosiers are smokers, and it is taking a toll on our health and economy. While Indiana has been busy attracting new businesses, our consistently poor health rankings are holding us back. To improve the overall health of Hoosiers, and the health of the Hoosier economy, we need to raise the tobacco tax in Indiana by $1.50 per pack. Research shows that increasing the overall
price of tobacco is the most effective method for decreasing tobacco rates, especially among youth. Our tobacco tax is considerably lower than almost all of our neighboring states. This increase would generate more than $300 million in revenue that could be used to boost Indiana’s prevention and cessation efforts and further advance statewide health initiatives to make Indiana a healthier place to live and work. With the current legislature in session, I encourage you to use your platform to help inform community members as well as urge them to take action. Lorna Steele, Noblesville

Dispatches Burning body fat — Studies are showing that walking is a very effective way to burn fat. You will burn more calories per minute with more intense forms of exercise, but some of those calories come from non-fat sources in your body, such as sugars and proteins. Low intensity cardio, like walking, starts burning fat immediately.

Co-founder and senior managing director of Periculum Capital Company, Shortle has served on the board since 2007. Intermittent fasting — One of the most sacred diet rules is to never skip breakfast because it gives you fuel for the day. Recent research is challenging this thinking, however. Intermittent
fasting is a trend that has been around for years, but is now being backed up by research. The idea is to contain all your eating into a few hours of the day. One way to accomplish this is to make lunch the first meal of the day, then get all your calories between lunch and dinner.

Noblesville home sales see 3.7 percent increase
Commentary by Jim Litten
F.C. Tucker Company’s monthly real estate market stats indicated a strong finish to 2016, with home sales up 5.2 percent for real estate the year and December 2016 sales up 5.3 percent, compared to December 2015. Likewise, the average year-to-date home price for the 15-county Central Indiana region rose 3.4 percent to $188,616. Hamilton County’s pended sales increased 5 percent in December 2016 compared to December 2015. Prices have also increased by 3.7 percent over last year to an average of $288,336. The number of available homes for sale, however, continues to decline in the region; inventory in Hamilton County slid 4.9 percent in December, a drop of 69 homes available compared to this time last year. • In Noblesville, the average home sales price increased 3.7 percent year to date to $240,934. • Inventory moved at a quicker pace in Noblesville in December 2016. Overall, homes sold in 65 days – two fewer days than this time last year. • Buyers in Noblesville had fewer options avail-
able to them. Last month, 268 homes were available for sale – nine fewer homes compared to December 2015. • Pended home sales increased in Noblesville. In December 2016, 70 homes sold – an increase of 21 homes compared to December 2015. • Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, six were priced $500,000 to $999,999; nine were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 17 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 34 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and four were priced below $99,999. Positive consumer confidence has buoyed home sales through the end of 2016. Looking ahead to 2017, we expect to see 50 percent of the market made up of first-time homebuyers and anticipate many of the boomerang buyers, who lost their houses in the Great Recession, will step back into home ownership. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company. Comment on this article by e-mailing to editorial@youarecurrent.com.

Noblesville’s Boice sisters take the stage at Beef & Boards Submitted content courtesy of Beef & Boards For two sisters from Noblesville, stepping on the stage is something that’s both familiar and fun. Ali and Kate Boice already have established resumes at the Theater young ages of 11 and 9, respectively, and they are adding a new performing credit this month with the production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. The Boice sisters will perform in the second of three children’s choirs for the show. Theirs, the “Red Choir,” is featured in the performances from Feb. 21 through March 8. But it’s not the first time the daughters of Mark and Kristen Boice have shared a stage. “They truly enjoy sharing in the same love of theater and being in the same shows at the same time,” Kristen said. The girls kicked up their heels together last summer in Stonesoup’s production of “Oklahoma!” with Ali in the role of Ado Annie and Kate in the chorus playing Vivian. In the summer of 2015, Ali and Kate were the Sour Kangaroo and Young Kangaroo, respectively, in “Seussical Jr.” with Stonesoup. They also performed in The Belfry’s production of “A Christmas Carol The Musical” in December of that year. Ali’s portrayal of Tiny Tim earned her an ENCORE nomination for “Best Performer Under the Age of 18 in a Musical.” “They also like having some shows to themselves,” Kris-

ten said. This happened last spring at Christian Youth Theater, when Ali was in the chorus of “Mary Poppins” and Kate played May Belle in “Bridge to Terabithia.” “I love to be on stage because I feel alive when I’m on stage,” Ali, a fifth-grader at Legacy Christian School, said. The girls agree that memorizing their lines is the most challenging part of being in a show. “I love being different characters, memorizing lines and meeting new actors and actresses,” said Kate, a thirdgrader at Hinkle Creek Elementary School. For more, visit beefandboards.com. “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is sponsored in part by Current Publishing.
Christ in the Arts — First Presbyterian Church in Noblesville has added an additional music program to its ministry. In 2015, Michael Davis, FPC music director, wanted to share the church’s sanctuary (and beautiful music venue) with others in the community outside the immediate congregation and provide high-quality musical performances free to the public. Davis also is the assistant artistic director of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir and is surrounded by talented musicians inside and outside the congregation. Thus,Christ in the Arts was born. Vivaldi’s «Gloria» in May 2015 was the first Christ in the Arts performance and in November, Gabriel Faure’s «Op 48 Requiem» was performed. The FPC Chancel choir, Christ in the Arts Festival orchestra and featured soloists have been a part of both performances. In January, FPC partnered with Nickel Plate Arts and became part of the Hamilton County Cultural Arts district. At 4 p.m., Feb. 26, Christ is the Arts will present a Pipe Organ Concert featuring organists Cheryl Mayhew, Clarice Stegall and Aaron Kemp showcasing their various musical styles. Along with the organ concert, the church will host an art exhibition featuring local Hamilton County artists. This is a free event and child care will be provided. For more, visit fpc-noblesville.org. Ball State students real-world ready for Masterworks concert at Palladium — Ball State University’s School of Music will make its debut at the Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, Indiana, at 3 p.m. Feb. 26. Ryan Hourigan, the school’s director, said Masterworks concert at the Palladium is the largest ever performed by Ball State students. It will feature the school’s symphony orchestra, wind ensemble, and a 200-plus-member choir in collaboration with the Indianapolis Children’s Choir. Concert tickets range from $10-$40.

While the many hues of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” are being celebrated nightly on the Beef theater & Boards Dinner Theatre stage, the mood changes to all things pink when the Pyramid Players present “Pinkalicious the Musical” Feb. 17 through March 18. The musical, which has played OffBroadway since 2007, draws a young, mostly preteen female audience (although boys are welcome) that shows up in their very best pink attire. “It’s a sea of kids in pink,” said Danny Kingston, a 2006 Westfield High School graduate. “It’s adorable. And in the show I get to sing to boys that it’s OK to like the color pink, too.” The musical is based on the “Pinkalicious” book series written and illustrated by sisters Elizabeth and Victoria Kann. The stories center on a girl named Pinkalicious, who, as her name implies, is obsessed with all things pink. After over-indulging in pink cupcakes, Pinkalicious, played by Jaddy Ciucci, wakes up one day pink and is thrilled. While continuing to eat pink cupcakes, however, she develops “pink eye pinkititis” and can only see the color pink. Wishing to fix the ailment, she follows the doctor’s order to eat green food and is

transformed back to normal. “The message the show conveys is acceptance,” Kingston said. Kingston is reprising the role of Pinkalicious’s brother, Peter, after first playing him in 2013. “It makes it more fun this time around,” said Kingston. “I know him and his quirks already. It’s like hanging out with an old friend.” Performances are at 10 a.m. Fridays and at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturdays and are one hour in length.

Blueprint for Improvement: Maximizing bathroom space Commentary by Larry Greene
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.
After
After solutions: 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. Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling.

Be picky - it’s the key to your perfect space Commentary by Krista Bocko
I’ve never thought of myself as a picky person – that equates to high-maintenance, which I definitely am not. But when it comes to how my house looks and funcyour home tions, yes, actually I am. And that’s OK. I want my house work hard for my family and be a beautiful place to spend time. Our lives are always changing, and our home should be, too. Many people are frustrated with their home’s décor and furniture, but they don’t know exactly why or how to fix it. If you have a room in your house that you don’t like – maybe it’s an awkward furniture layout or a room that just seems to fall flat – I would first look critically at every piece in the room and ask yourself, “Do I really like this?” Also, “How does the piece relate to everything else around it?” Many rooms suffer from what I call “matchy-matchy” syndrome, and when you grow tired of the look you pretty much hate the entire room. If that’s the case, consider a cosmetic change, or that it may be time to break up and find something more “you.” There’s no rule that says you can’t remove/change matching set pieces that just don’t do it for you, because here’s the thing: Your home should be a carefully curated and thoughtful space created with things that you love. I consider myself an editor in my own house. I edit out what I don’t want and add in what I do want. I’m always changing, and sometimes pieces I previously liked just don’t work for me or my family anymore. Out they go to make space for pieces that I need to come into my life. By “matchy-matchy,” I don’t mean a pair of matching armchairs or lamps or a set of dining room chairs. I mean entire rooms of matching furniture. What makes a space interesting and alive is the look of being collected over time and with intention, and it takes patience to find the right pieces. I’d love to know, what spaces in your home are bugging you, and how can you edit them? Krista Bocko, a Noblesville resident, loves interior design, vintage furniture and collecting paint swatches.

Terezin: Remembering a cruel hoax Commentary by Don Knebel A former military town 40 miles northwest of Prague played a bit part in the events of World War I. It played a much more sinister role in the horrors of travel World War II. In 1780, Habsburg Emperor Joseph II built a citadel (Small Fortress) on the east side of the Ohře River and a walled town (Main Fortress) across the river for his troops. Joseph named the area Terezin in honor of his mother, Maria Theresa. The Small Fortress eventually imprisoned Gavrilo Princip, whose assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo helped ignite World War I. In 1940, after occupying Czechoslovakia, Hitler began using the Small Fortress as a concentration camp for Jews rounded up in nearby areas. As it did in other camps, the Gestapo posted “Arbeit Macht Frei” at the prison entrance. The slogan, meaning “Work Sets You Free,” was a cruel hoax. Most of the Jews brought to Terezin were destined for the death camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka. In late 1941, the Germans evicted the non-Jewish residents from the Main Fortress, which they called Theresienstadt, and converted the town into a ghetto. Terezin, built for a population of 5,000, eventually held 55,000 Jews. In 1942, a crematorium was built near the severely overcrowded town to accommodate the dozens of people who died every day from starvation and disease. Others were shot for trivial offenses. By the time Terezin was liberated by the Allies on May 9,
Inside the Small Fortress at Terezin, Czech Republic. (Photo by Don Knebel)
1945, about 150,000 Jews had been sent there. About 33,000 of them died at Terezin and about 90,000 more were sent on to be killed. Today, the Small Fortress, returned to its wartime condition, is maintained as a memorial to the victims. A small museum in the Main Fortress displays drawings of the children who lived there before being shipped off to their deaths. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Dispatches Raw or cooked? — Most people think eating raw veggies is always best. But certain vegetables are actually made healthier by cooking. Here are some: 1. Tomatoes – cooking releases more lycopene, a known cancer fighter 2. Mushrooms – heat destroys some toxins that can be found in mushrooms 3. Carrots, bell peppers – heat releases some of their nutrients However, light cooking is best. Too much heat can destroy most of the nutrients in the veggies. Source: BottomLineHealth.com
Coconut oil — Coconut oil may be one of the latest fads in health and beauty, but it’s really not new. Hollywood star Mae West used it daily as a facial moisturizer to give her skin a youthful glow. Source: Marie Claire
Buttered coffee? — If you typically drink coffee before a workout, try this. Blend one cup hot coffee with one tablespoon unsalted grass-fed butter and one tablespoon coconut oil for ten seconds. Drink in place of breakfast. This slows the absorption of the caffeine in the coffee and helps boost your workout. Source: Prevention.com
