District remains high-achieving

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Technology and growth remain at the forefront of administrators’ minds, according to Noblesville Schools Supt. Dr. Schools Libbie Conner, who, along with other central office administrators talked about Noblesville School’s academic achievements, educational evolvements, growth and financial status during the annual Conner State of the School address to the Noblesville’s Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 26.

“Financially we’re stable and we hope the public thinks we are making wise use of tax money,” Conner said. “As far as teaching and learning, we’re growing daily in the digital age and that certainly is our goal and vision.”

Noblesville High School has put technology into curriculum by adding the 1:1 initiative in which the district provides iPads to high school students. The program allows students to have technology at their fingertips and gives teachers different ways to connect students to the curriculum. Next year, middle school students will take part in the same initiative.

“We’re walking our talk. What was a vision is now being a reality,” Conner said, adding the 1:1 initiative will expand to the elementary level in two years.

“The most exciting part is the opportunities that it offers the entire community.”

“The classrooms today are not the same classrooms and schools we had going through school,” Stephen Stephanoff, assistant superintendent, said.

As construction takes place, providing more space at the high Stephanoff school’s main and freshman campuses, district director of operations Jeff Bragg said growth is still an issue. Bragg said 4,848 elementary students fill the corporation’s schools, which have a capacity of 5,100. Conservative predictions estimate that number to increase Bragg to 5.093 in 2016 and 5,220 in 2017.

By the numbers Noblesville Schools is a high-performing school district that: • Serves 9,850 students from pre-school through high school.

• Maintains 2.1 million square feet of facilities.

• Operates within a $99,384,318 budget for 2014.

• Employs nearly 1,000 full-time employees and issued 2,025 W-2 Forms last year.

• Graduates 94.7 percent of its high school students on time

“In the next two and a half years, we will hit capacity and, as you all know, capacity obviously means we need a new building,” he said.

Conner said the district would like to wait until 2016 to have a referendum and open the district’s eighth elementary school in 2017.

“It’s cutting it really close in some of our schools,” she said.

School officials highlighted the following: • Schools have proved to be high-performing schools by maintaining an A letter-grade from the Indiana DOE for the past three years. Additionally, Noblesville has tested higher than average among other state schools at all grade levels.

• Noblesville will offer more AP classes next year – ranging from music theory to AP physics.

Students also have the ability to start earning college credits while still in high school through partnerships with Purdue, Indiana and Vincennes universities, IUPUI and Ivy Tech.

• Community businesses are providing internship opportunities to high school students.

Twenty-nine percent of next year’s senior class is signed up for internships with 27 local businesses.

Historic foundry to receive upgrade

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Noblesville Common Council unanimously approved the preliminary resolution for an economic revitalization area tax council phase-in for ID Castings, 1600 S. Eighth St. ID Castings has requested a three-year, 100-percent tax savings on the increase in assessed valuation from its $51-million project to restore the 13.9-acre historic site.

“It’s been an eyesore for years. We’re thrilled about this,” councilor Jeff Zeckel said.

Noblesville Economic Development Director Judi Johnson said ID Castings proposes to purchase and install approximately $31 million worth of new equipment to expand its production capabilities. The company will also spend approximately $20 million on new buildings. The estimated tax abatement savings for the three years is $1,283,400.

“It’s part of the Eighth Street beautification project and will have a real impact on our community,” Johnson said.

ID Castings purchased the building on Oct. 1.

The company has 25 employees and plans to hire an additional 27 employees with the expansion.

Plant manager Jack Kruse said the company is an iron-castings foundry. He said some of the biggest products are storm pipe, drive shafts and drain grates. Work currently is taking place at the foundry. Kruse said some buildings are being reroofed and rewired.

“Anything that needs to be fixed, they are fixing,” he said, adding the site will have three buildings demolished. “It will take place in the next two to three months. We’re working pretty fast on getting this down.”

Kruse, a third-generation worker at the foundry, is enthusiastic about ID Castings plans to revitalize the foundry, which has been in Nobles-

The history

The Noblesville Foundry Machine Co., in the late 1800s, began operation at Division and Wild streets (now Seventh Street). It operated a foundry and machine shop which continued under the name McElwaine Richards Co. Machine Works. Under this name, it relocated farther south on Eighth Street. Around 1910, the company became known as the Union Sanitary Manufacturing Co. They manufactured enamelware such as bath tubs and lavatories. The company along with six other enamelware companies became involved in a lawsuit known as the “bathtub trust” in 1912. Over time, production transitioned to a wide range of metal parts and the company changed ownership again becoming Noblesville Casting Company.

ville for more than 100 years.

“It’s very heartwarming to me and a lot of other employees as well to see it come back like this,” he said.

Mayor John Ditslear said the new factory will have a total area of approximately 260,000 square feet and includes refurbishing of the existing production line and the addition of two new production lines.

“I’m real excited to renew something. We’re excited for all business, but revitalizing business that is here gives you extra pride,” he said.

Ditslear said this is the only foundry in Noblesville and one of the few remaining in the nation.

“There are not a lot of them,” he said. “I was told there were 5,000 in the country with many in Indiana and now it’s down to fewer than 500 now.”

Johnson said the common council will have a confirmatory decision on the tax phase-in on March 11.

Ask the Doctors: Is Surgery Right For You? Dr. Christine Gupta and Dr. Larry Micon answer your questions about Surgery Services at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital.

Christine Gupta, M.D., FACS

How do patients determine whether surgery is the right choice for them?

Dr. Micon: Of course, most people are interested in treatment options that might help manage their condition short of surgery. In many cases, however, patients don’t have much of a choice.

Dr. Gupta: When they are in pain, surgery is sometimes the only viable option to deal with their condition. When that choice has been made, the most important decision is to pick a surgeon they feel comfortable with. As well as a facility they feel comfortable with.

What are some of the common questions patients have about surgery?

Dr. Micon: Patients are generally concerned about what the recovery will be like, how much pain they will experience, and how soon they will be able to return to complete functional capacity. They’re going to be interested in side effects and potential complications of the surgery and how long the recovery period might be.

Dr. Gupta: Yes and often people want to know how they’re going to come through the anesthesia. This is especially true for patients who haven’t had surgery before.

How do you make your patients comfortable about the details of their upcoming surgical experience?

Dr. Gupta: What I try to do personally is to talk to the patient, listen to the patient, see what kinds of concerns they have and answer their questions. I find that if somebody understands what they’re about

Larry Micon, M.D., FACS

to go through, it makes a huge difference.

Dr. Micon: I agree. Knowledge is power.

And being able to give patients a good idea of what their experience will be like, and of course trying to make that experience as pleasant as possible, is the best way really to alleviate their anxieties.

What makes St.Vincent Fishers Hospital the right facility for an upcoming surgical procedure?

Dr. Gupta: Patients really feel comfortable and at ease at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital.

In many cases, their primary care doctor is right there in the same location. It’s high quality care very close to home, so it’s convenient for not just the patient, but also the patient’s family.

Dr. Micon: Being a new hospital, it’s bright, it’s clean, and it has the latest equipment.

And, it also has a very experienced staff.

So the people involved in the surgical experience have all done it many times before. They’re very comforting, very confident and very competent health care providers.

Dr. Gupta: I think because St.Vincent Fishers Hospital is not one of those huge hospitals, it’s really very efficient and the patients can get a nice, personal experience.

Dr. Micon: It’s a great environment and it has really been a great experience for the providers as well as the patients. I think people really will be happy and satisfied with their care at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital.

To learn more about the surgical services offered at, visit stvincent.org/fishers.

“We provide surgical care with an emphasis on care.”

Dr. Larry Micon, General Surgeon “The thought of surgery makes most people uncomfortable. So we work diligently to ensure eachpatient has the best care and experiencepossible. We treat routine and complexcases in new surgical suites with the verylatest equipment.

Here, we are tailoredto meet the needs of our patients whilemaking sure they feel comfortable andsafe as they heal.”

Breakfast raises $45k for Boy Scouts

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The 19th annual Noblesville Mayor’s Breakfast for Scouting continued its staggering trend of increasing amounts as PHILANTHROPY it received $45,550 in pledged donations to help offset the costs of programming, supplies and equipment and training workshops and camps on Feb. 26. The breakfast raised approximately $40,000 last year and $34,250 in 2012.

“To raise that money in one breakfast … only in a community like Noblesville,” said Matt Cook, breakfast chairman.

Cook said the Boy Scouts’ purpose is simple: to build the character and integrity of America’s youth and prepare them to become responsible adults – adults who are leaders and adults who participate in society according to the Scout Oath and Law. “I say with great pride that we are the Boy Scouts of America, and we are committed to giving young people the tools and experiences, and the knowledge and faith, to make the world a better place. Our mission may be lofty, but with your help, it is attainable,” he said.

In Hamilton County, there are now 100 Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops and Venture Crews. Almost 1,500 adult leaders volunteer their time and leadership to the more than 4,600 youth who participate in Hamilton County Scouting programs.

“Many leaders in our community are former Scouts, and so by supporting Scouting today, we are investing in the future leaders of our city, state and country,” Mayor John Ditslear said.

“For more than 100 years now, one thing that has been constant in Scouting is its purpose of providing an educational program for boys and young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities of good citizenship and to develop personal fitness.”

In 2013, Noblesville and Cicero had 35 Boy Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.

“Between them, these newest Eagle Scouts donated over 7000 volunteer hours to help better our community,” said Ditslear.

Mark McCullough of Troop 183, which is chartered by St. Michaels Episcopal Church, was one of those that recently earned Scouting’s highest

Mayor John Ditslear interviews Cub Scouts Mark Sherrill, left, and Ganner Hoffman. For more photos visit currentnoblesville.com. (Photos by Robert Herrington)

rank. McCullough said being outdoors is one of his favorite scouting experiences.

“There are a lot of things people can’t help you out with. A lot of things you have to learn on your own. You have to do it on your own,” said the Noblesville High School junior. “Scouting goes beyond being a better outdoorsman. It’s taught me to be a better person.”

Hamilton County also has seven Explorer Posts with approximately 325 young people participating.

“Like Scouting, the Career Exploring program is a valuable program for young people. Exploring is a co-ed program for young men and women ages 14-20, to learn about potential careers,” Ditslear said. “It gives young adults the opportunity to learn first-hand about a career that interests them as well as the opportunity to learn and develop leadership skills by serving as post officers.”

Explorer posts are sponsored by businesses or community organizations whose employees volunteer to educate the young people about that particular career. For the past four years, Jennifer Stevens has been a member of the Noblesville Police Dept. Explorers, which learn from and assist police officers in a variety of community events.

“Explorers are held to a higher standard than normal high schoolers,” she said.

This fall Ivy Tech will celebrate the opening of its 32nd campus, this time in Noblesville. We couldn’t be more excited for this opportunity to continue to partner with education Hamilton County.

Our new location will provide Hamilton County residents easier access to college credits, technical certifications and associate degrees. Ivy Tech offers the state’s most affordable tuition state and credits that transfer to colleges and universities across Indiana.

The relationship between Hamilton County and Ivy Tech dates to 1980, when the college began offering classes in Noblesville. In 1995, we opened an Ivy Tech site at Carmel Community Life and Learning Center, where students can still take courses today. The college also continues to offer classes at Noblesville High School. In the spring 2013 semester, more than 3,000 students took Ivy Tech courses in Hamilton County.

We also partner with Carmel, Noblesville, Fishers, Hamilton Heights, Hamilton Southeastern and Sheridan High Schools in our dual enrollment program. This program allows students to earn college credit at Ivy Tech while they are still in

high school. More than 1,500 Hamilton County students took part in the program last spring.

Hamilton County High School students have made Ivy Tech one of their top choices for Indiana colleges in recent years. In 2011, more than 300 Hamilton County high school students chose to come to Ivy Tech upon graduation. In fact, Ivy Tech ranked within the top three choices of all Indiana colleges for 2011 graduates from each of the above Hamilton County high schools. We look forward to now partnering with Hamilton County on a larger scale and serving your growing population!

Ivy Tech is busy at work to determine what the site will look like and how to best serve your community, including what degree programs and courses to offer. We look forward to continually informing you of the progress we are making.

We intend to keep you updated each step of the way. For more information, visit www.ivytech. edu/noblesville.

Cathedral High School exceeds goal on $10 million capital campaign.

Stephen J. Helmich, president and CEO of Cathedral High School, announced today that the Faith in the Future capital campaign has met and exceeded the goal of raising $10 million for the 96-year-old Indianapolis institution. “We are happy to report that our community came together to raise the funds for a significant investment in our school,” he says. “We are blessed to have people as part of our Cathedral family who believe in the great work our teachers are doing and the results we see in our students.”

The Faith in the Future campaign, the school’s first capital campaign since 2006, and was designed to provide funds for four vital areas: teachers, technology, tuition, and traditions.

Chinese educators visit NHS

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com School administrators spent three days teaching and learning from other educators as Noblesville High School hosted 23 education high school principals from the Zhejiang Province of China from Feb. 24 to 26. The group came to observe American schools and see what they can take back to China to improve their schools.

“It literally was a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” NHS Principal Jeff Bryant said. “The experience was unmatched. They’ve learned a lot, not just for their schools but all students.”

Bryant said the group, which was able to visit through the Chinese Education Connector organization, wanted to learn more about American education and how American students have choices in the kinds of classes they take.

He said they were particularly interested in NHS’ wellness and music programs while Noblesville educators learned more about their science,

technology, engineering and mathematics programs. Bryant said the international educators remarked about student engagement and the role students have in their own education.

“It was fantastic for me because sometimes we take it for granted,” he said.

During their visit, the 23 principals observed classroom learning, sat through presentations and learned about NHS’ block scheduling, classes and different types of degrees offered.

“They met with a lot of teachers at school and answered more questions than you could imagine,” Bryant said. “It was a great experience for us too. We absolutely learned from them.”

Bryant said the visit was the most recent in a trend of collaboration. He said the high school is open to other educators to learn what NHS is doing and what they might be doing that Noblesville could implement.

“We are no longer an island,” he said. “They learn from us but every time we have a visitor we learn from them.”

Executive director Susan Ferguson and Prevail serve growing number of victims

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com On any given day, Susan Ferguson may be tasked with helping someone make a lifechanging decision – to stay or leave, to seek help or how to protect their cover story children.

“I really understand the dynamics of domestic violence,” she said.

In April, Ferguson will celebrate her one-year anniversary as executive director of Prevail, Inc., a nonprofit that has served victims of violent crime in Hamilton County since July 1986.

“It has been less than a year since Susan stepped into the role of executive director at Prevail and in such a short time she has already proven to be an excellent leader with passion for our clients and the knowledge to help continue to improve our services,” said Natasha Robinson of Prevail. “She also has great a respect for our community and works tirelessly to further Prevail’s mission towards ending acts of violence.”

thinking).”

Prior to moving to Hamilton County, Ferguson lived with her parents, as her family remained in Michigan, so her son, Eric, could finish his year in high school.

“We visited lots of schools and liked all of them we visited. Eric had a great first visit at Noblesville High School and really enjoyed it. That along with me working here made Noblesville a perfect fit for us,” Ferguson said.

Prevail

Ferguson said the biggest misconception about Prevail is that it is a shelter.

“We don’t have a shelter here but work with an affiliate in Anderson for any of our clients that need that. It’s not an easy decision for anybody,” she said. “Hamilton County is considering a domestic violence shelter. I’m talking through what that might mean.”

“They might be a stay-at-home parent and potentially leave with nothing. This dynamic makes it more complicated,” she said.

“We know it is difficult to leave domestic violence and it takes a long time to build up to that decision, but we hope we can plant the seeds of confidence and hope so they can leave.”

Tough times

The job of the Prevail staff is very difficult and heart wrenching. It requires a unique person to handle the daily stress. However, there are the good days when workers make a positive impact on someone’s life.

“You can really hang on to those gems of hope in those situations,” Ferguson said. “There are those days that remind us why we do what we do. A person comes in hopeless and leaves with a glint of hope in their eyes. Then later you

Background

After college, Ferguson began working with juvenile delinquents for a human services agency in Ohio, where she met and married her husband, Rod, who also works in human services. The two moved to Michigan, where Ferguson worked at the Safe Place in Battle Creek for seven years.

“I’d been away from home for 20 years,” she said, adding she was looking for a new job based in Indiana. “Finding something I was interested and passionate about was icing on the cake.”

Ferguson brings a background of working for small and large organizations.

“At the very large organization you had a finance department, marketing department, etc.

You concentrated on your job and somebody concentrated on the other tasks,” she said. “Safe Place was much smaller. I am the marketing department and finance department. You have to be an expert in all the things.”

Ferguson said she always liked the idea of working with children. Her mother was a specialneeds teacher in Indianapolis Public Schools for 30 years and her brother is an administrator in IPS. “I knew at a young age I was going to be a child psychologist,” she said. “Talking with kids that might be difficult to work with.”

Ferguson said when she first started her mentality was that her job was a lifestyle.

“You have to live it,” she said. “Now my thinking has changed 180 degrees. It’s a job, when you leave work you have to leave work. I don’t think anybody could survive that (previous

Prevail serves the community as an advocate for victims of crime and abuse in Hamilton and surrounding counties and offer its services free of charge in a confidential, supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

“We want visitors to know we believe you and there is hope available. We are here for them to reach out and call us,” Ferguson said.

Ferguson said the hardest aspect of her job is fighting misconceptions – even amongst her family members. She was talking with her daughter, Alex, a student at Western Michigan University, the other day about a woman that was raped in the city she lived in. The victim was walking home alone from the library at 1 a.m. and Alex said, “What was she doing walking alone at 1 a.m.?”

“Victim-blaming is discouraging. I fight that every day,” Ferguson said. “They may have put themselves, in a bad situation, but it’s still the perpetrator’s fault. That mentality is more discouraging than the individual events.”

A true hero will lead the parade We like this a lot and for all the right reasons. Noblesville resident Chuck Layton, a U.S. Army Korean War veteran with quite a story to tell, has been chosen grand marshal of this year’s Fourth of July parade. A real hero, Layton co-authored a harrowing story of capture, imprisonment and escape titled A True Story of a Korean War POW/MIA: Escaped With Honor. According to the city, Layton - who was born in 1928 and with his wife, Jaci, is a 20-year Noblesville resident - was one of 37 U.S. captured and held as prisoners of war in a small mud hut from November 1951 to February 1952. It was one of the coldest winters ever recorded in Korea. Led by Layton, the POWs created an escape plan, and one night all the men escaped, were spotted by a plane, and reunited with American troops the next morning. For his role in orchestrating and leading the escape, Layton was awarded the Purple Heart, the Combat Infantry Badge and the Korean Presidential Citation. In selecting Layton as the leader of the parade, Mayor John Ditslear rightfully also noted Layton’s volunteerism, which includes the Disabled American Veterans, Central Indiana Korean Veterans Association, Purple Heart Society and Kiwanis, among others. To boot, for five years he has been an active board member and volunteer for Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County. If you’re planning to be in the city on July 4, at least take the time to salute Layton at the parade, which begins at 5 p.m.

And if you want to read Layton’s book, you may e-mail him at chucknjaci@comcast.net.

More information about the upcoming July 4th festivities is forthcoming, but residents may call 776.6367 now with questions.

Mass transit idea overrides politics

The secrets we keep

Commentary by Terry Anker

Social media has opened up a new world for window peepers. Unbeknownst to many of us, our photographs are taken hundreds of times per day. Happily, most of the celebrity we might anticipate is abated by the fact that these shots are largely video surveillance at the ATM, gas pump, store, restaurant, school, workplace and just about every place we might venture during the day. These are not routinely posted to the web unless something exciting or funny occurs (think bank robbery or dancing cat).

We don’t control our image. Ordinarily, we don’t even know that it is being used. But the most common, is the photo posted to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySpace, LinkedIn, Tagged, Google+, Pinterest, or YouTube (these are on the top 10 list for most used social media sites of the billions of posts each year). Again, permission is rarely asked and we often don’t know of it.

Google has announced a new project called, simply enough, Image. At images.google.com one

can upload an image of anyone and the program will scan the web to find similar pictures. I did it today of myself; and, wow, it pulled up pictures of me from all over the place. Some were known to me – others definitely not. But even more simply, a long-lost acquaintance posted a photo from an eighth-grade basketball tourney (we won!) to his Facebook page. Another friend saw me in it and let me know it was out there. I found the shot and the dozen or so of comments about it. My 13 year-old saw it – and observed our family resemblance.

But the picture could have easily been me in college holding a Little King Cream Ale slightly before my 21st birthday. Is it better to live a world without secrets? We may not have much choice.

As Hamilton County mayors, we believe central Indiana needs more and better transit.

We appreciate that the legislative study committee, under the leadership of Sen. Pat Miller, came to that same conclusion.

Hamilton County has become one of the nation’s fastest-growing communiBrainard ties by looking forward and embracing what could be, rather than simply accepting what is. The people of this county have recognized that our quality of life and our prosperity depends on making this a place where Cook people want to live, work and create businesses today and into the future.

Creating that kind of place requires the amenities people are coming to expect from 21st century communities - that includes transit.

Ditslear We are encouraged with the progress of Senate Bill 176. While it’s not perfect, it’s a strong start. We’re pleased it creates a funding mechanism and provides local control by allowing county councils to seek their own voter referendums to fund and build a transit system.

Even with a wide range of political perspectives, the vast majority of the senators and representatives on the committees that have heard the bill have agreed with our stance.

In other words, the importance of the issue is overriding politics – a true sign of its significance.

We applaud these forward-looking legislators and thank them for their leadership and consensus-building on a topic that’s critical to the future economic vitality of our region.

How to write good hate mail

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I love hate mail. But I have to be honest; some of you really need to brush up on your libel.

Take, for instance, a recent humor e-mail. The reader was quite indignant with respect to the column about my friend, whose morning with her children was ruined by a criticizing old biddy. But her comments fell short, mostly because she didn’t know how to write a decent critique. Luckily, I’ve developed this Guide to Good Hate Mail.

1. Read the column. Thoroughly. The aforementioned hater spoke at length about how poorly I had handled the situation because of my obvious lack of self-confidence, but I actually wasn’t even there. The article was about a friend’s experience. Come on now! If you’re going to use my own words against me, at least get the facts straight!

2. Play the religion card. Even though you know nothing of my faith, when you write, “You are clearly not a Christian, which might be the root of your unhappiness…” you can be sure I’ll take notice. Sure, it might not have the desired response (Doo and I enjoyed a wonderful laugh at that one), but you’ll certainly gain my attention.

And never underestimate the impact of a well-placed Scripture passage. My favorite is John 8:7. Learn it. Love it. Use it.

3. Question my parenting. So what if you’ve

never actually met me or my husband or any of my kids. You read my columns, right?

We’re as good as sisters, then, making you perfectly qualified to pass judgment. Have fun! Give unsolicited advice, badmouth my children, suggest therapy and spiritual healing (a Bible verse would fit nicely here). Or just cut to the chase and tell me I’m a terrible mother. I appreciate brevity in my hate mail as I have an enormity of selfish needs to see to above those of my family.

4. Go on and on about what an awesome spouse, parent, sibling, friend, PTO volunteer, church-goer, and eater of organic foods you are. My life is miserable, and I long to be as awesome as you!

Remember, I have low self-confidence and am going to Hell, so any awesome thing you can say to help me change my ways would be simply awesome.

5. Use synonyms. When I see the word “awesome” written repeatedly, you lose respect as a writer and a hater.

Next time you feel compelled to send hate mail, please consult this guide. It’ll make my reading so much more enjoyable! Peace out.

McMahon grateful for community Editor, As I prepare to formally retire my position as Noblesville Chamber president on Feb. 28, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the media for the coverage of programs and events of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce over the years. The mission of the chamber, “To promote commerce in the Noblesville area” is broad and encompasses many activities of the chamber in representing the member businesses of the organization.

It has been my pleasure and my privilege to have served as the chamber president for 13 years of the chamber’s 79 years of existence in Noblesville. I firmly believe that increased collaboration with other organizations together with advancements in technology resources and business-to-business relationship building, the chamber will continue to grow and serve

our business community.

I wish to acknowledge with deep gratitude the work of the chamber’s board of directors, committee and event volunteers, and the staff of the chamber. I have worked with outstanding community leaders for many years, so many whom I wish to thank for their support but space will not allow me to do so here. After more than 30 years of non-profit organization executive management, I feel the time is right to claim my other interests. Time has truly “flown” as the saying goes, and I look forward to remaining active in our wonderful community as I explore fun and varied options ahead. Our growing and vibrant city has always been my hometown and I look forward to seeing many of you out and about in the future. Warm wishes, Sharon McMahon, Noblesville Chamber of Commerce president

In any divorce case, there are two main categories of issues to be resolved prior to finalization: child-related issues and those related to the division of the martial estate. Under Indiana law (an absent a prenuptial agreement), the marital estate, or “marital pot,” is comprised of any and all assets and liabilities acquired prior to or during the marriage, whether through inheritance or gift. The date the parties file the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage effectively “cuts off” what is included in the marital estate and; therefore, those items which are subject to division by the Court. Generally, assets or debts acquired by either spouse subsequent to the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage are considered separate property of that individual.

Indiana law presumes that an equal (50%/50%) division of the marital estate is fair and equitable. In order to determine the overall estate, each litigant and/or their counsel, must perform due diligence to determine (1) what compromises the marital estate and (2) the values of each asset/liability therein. A majority of assets and liabilities are valued on the date of filing of the Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Therefore, the marital estate will be a “snapshot” of what existed on that day and the values on that same day.

The Court and the parties have discretion, however, to value certain assets as of the date of distribution. Most often, Courts will choose to value assets which fluctuate due to market changes at the time of distribution to either party, less any post date-of-filing contributions made by the account holder, to allow both parties to equally share in those gains or losses of any such accounts during the pendency of the divorce.

In determining the value of real property, the parties may use appraisals, property tax assessments, and comparative market analyses to agree upon a value for the marital residence and/or additional properties. Courts place most weight on the values put forth in formal appraisals; thus, if parties are unable to agree upon the value of real property – Courts can often be confronted with competing appraisals and expert testimony from the appraiser.

Alternatively, in the event parties agree to list a piece of property for sale, they may agree that whatever proceeds actually received are to be equally divided between the two spouses.

The latter approach allows for the divorcing parties to finalize the divorce without having to await the sale of their house.

Either party may request, however, a deviation from the presumed 50%/50% division in his or her favor which the Court may grant, if the Court deems the request appropriate after considering evidence presented and the statutory factors allowing for such deviations. Litigants would be well advised to seek the advice of counsel in determining how to best proceed with such requests.

FROGZ aimed at young families

By Dawn Pearson • editorial@youarecurrent.com Spring will certainly look good after the winter Mother Nature whipped up for us. And leaping all over Carmel will be FROGZ. THeatre Frogs, frogs and more frogs - along with their friends the penguins - perform in this theatrical event that is making a name for Imago Theatre, creator of this “hoppy” adventure.

“This is a family show designed with a lot of illusion and imagination, really geared for youth three years old and up,” said John Hughey, director of external relations at the Center for the Performing Arts. “This show becomes a big playground where frogs and penguins play together.

It’s in our small theater and there will be audience participation.”

Hughey said FROGZ is like a Cirque du Soleil show that will introduce children to mime, acrobatics, and dance.

“There are wild costumes and all original music. The frogs and penguins take on human characteristics,” Hughley said. “There is a lot of audience participation, too, with oversized beach balls and giant slinkies that become part of the act. So families will enjoy this together in a small intimate theater.”

“Imago has been creating transformative theatre that crosses boundaries traditionally associated with language, age and the physical realm,” said Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, the artistic

Come find love in ‘Philadelphia’ with CCP

By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Community Players continue their 20th Anniversary Season of Restoration Celebration by presenting the romantic THeatre comedy classic, Philip Barry’s “The Philadelphia Story,” March 6 through March 16 in the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace Mall.

The play’s cast is very seasoned as some actors have film, TV and Broadway theater experience in addition to the many who have appeared in several local productions.

In the movie version of “The Philadelphia Story,” Katharine Hepburn’s character, Tracy Lord, is a headstrong, spoiled daughter from a well-todo family in Philadelphia torn between her dashing ex-husband, played by Cary Grant, charming society magazine reporter Jimmy Stewart and her fiancée.

The play’s director, Lori Raffel, said the stage production is very similar to the movie with some exceptions – there are a few character changes and the location is limited to the Lords’ house outside Philadelphia.

“The play was written by Philip Barry specifically for Katharine Hepburn to star in on stage.

Her last several movies had tanked and producers were losing faith in her ability to draw an audience,” Raffel said. “Katharine herself put up 35 percent of the money to produce the play on Broadway, and it paid off - it was a huge hit. She

and the playwright always had in mind to make the play into a movie - and that was a big success as well.”

“Above all else, The Philadelphia Story is about love, relationships and family. It’s one of the most successful American comedies every produced,” Raffel said. “I wanted to direct it because I love the time period - the 1940’s - and I love the central character - Tracy. She is strong, stubborn, flawed and fearless - which makes for a great play.”

“The Philadelphia Story” • Performance are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. on Sundays • Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace Mall • Tickets are $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and students • For more information visit www.carmelplayers.org.

Allergies to cold weather - Yes, it’s possible to actually be allergic to cold weather. Those with an allergy called cold urticaria break out in itchy red hives due to contact with low temperatures, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. In more rare cases, people can faint from exposure to frigid temps. Representatives from the college suggest taking an antihistamine to control symptoms. www.menshealth.com.

Stroke risk factors for women - More than half of the 795,000 strokes that occur annually in the U.S. happen to women. Why? One of the reasons is preeclampsia, a factor during and after pregnancy. However, prevention is key: women with chronic or pregnancyrelated hypertension should take low-dose aspirin from the 12th week of pregnancy to delivery. Preeclampsia is also a future risk of hypertension and stroke. Keep up with follow-up visits to your primary care physician. (www.prevention.com).

I’d like you to think of the following question and let me know if you can think of a situation or example where the statement finance is unequivocally true: In a rapid growth environment, is it possible to significantly increase quantity while still maintaining a high level of quality?

I bring this question up as I look up at the TV in my office streaming the latest financial news of the day and what’s happening around the world and ask myself that question as it pertains to financial journalism.

With the advent of the 24/7 news and financial television networks, I’ve often wondered how challenging the job of the producer must be for those networks. Not because of the complexities of the job or managing the on-air talent, but simply the task of coming up with enough content to cover 24 hours of “news” a day.

Think about that for a minute as it pertains to financial journalism.In the past, when something was newsworthy, it was discussed and reported on the nightly national news and was most certainly reported in the financial publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Fortune.

However, because of the amount of airtime that must be consumed, we now have stories that are covered far longer than they need to be covered, with opinions from so-called “experts” whose only criteria for being called an expert was that they were available for that time slot.

What can, and often does, happen though is

the television media overinflates an otherwise mundane piece of information or data, which can sometimes cause consumers to make irrational and emotional decisions concerning their financial plans and investment goals.

We’ve all heard the phrase “making a mountain out of a mole hill” and I believe this phrase can apply to an ever-increasing number of journalists and media reporting on financial news and happenings. This is why I believe that as the quantity of financial reporting has significantly increased in a short amount of time, the quality of the journalism has diminished.

The important thing to remember is to be intentional with your investing. Having an investment philosophy and plan will serve you much better than reacting to what the cable news is reporting. In addition, make sure that you understand the credibility of your news sources.

Remember this: there is great similarity between a market analyst and a weather personality on TV. Their (and their station’s) first and real only mission is not to advise you directly. It’s to sell advertising and increase ratings. Make sure you have someone working for you in your corner that truly has your best interest at heart.

DISPATCHES Baldwin & Lyons releases financial data – Carmel-based Baldwin & Lyons has announced after tax operating income of $4.4 million, or $.30 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $4.5 million, also $.30 per share, during the fourth quarter of 2012. Net investment gains for the fourth quarter of 2013, which include both realized and unrealized gains in the company’s limited partnership investments, were $4.6 million after tax, or $.30 per share, compared to net investment gains of $0.2 million, or $.01per share, in the same quarter of 2012.

Minimum wage correlation - In the restaurant industry, some chains have already prepared to boost menu prices in response to minimum-wage changes. At the national level, Congress and President Obama continue to grapple with increasing the federal minimum wage; and changes at the state level could bring similar hikes at eateries across the country. Restaurants are a large low-wage employer, and industry executives have grumbled that wage increases - combined with additional costs resulting from Obamacare - are driving up the price of doing business. To maintain profits, a number of chains have recently announced plans to partially offset the increases by passing them to consumers. SOURCE: Bloomberg Businessweek

Metaphors versus idioms

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “A friend said to me that he was ‘under the weather, metaphorically speaking.’ I didn’t want to correct him, since he was sick, but I don’t think that’s right.

GRAMMAR GUY Was that a metaphor, or was it actually an idiom?”

Great question! You are correct. Hopefully your friend is feeling better by the time you come around again to offer him some wisdom.

Metaphors and idioms are often mistaken for one another in speech in just the manner you’ve illustrated. In fact, “speaking metaphorically” is often mistakenly used when people actually mean they are “speaking figuratively.” Staying on subject, though: What is the difference between a metaphor and an idiom?

A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech found under the umbrella of analogy. A metaphor is formed by stating that one thing “A” is another thing “B.” Shakespeare famously used metaphors to great effect – and so for an example, we’ll turn to the Bard: “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.”

We understand that Juliet is not, in fact, the sun. But to our teenage heartthrob Romeo, she seems a bright, incandescent, almost life-giving figure appearing at the window as the sun at

dawn. How romantic.

An idiom, by contrast, is an expression with a figurative meaning that doesn’t correspond with its literal meaning. Idioms are understood intuitively by native speakers, but can be very difficult for someone learning the language. Examples of idioms in English include “couch potato,” “hit the road,” “spill the beans” and “under the weather.”

Some idioms, like the phrase “Achilles’ heel,” are also metaphors, but the two are not inherently related like metaphors and similes are.

A great and simple method of determining whether a phrase is an idiom or a metaphor is to ask whether it is directly comparing two things.

“In the middle of June, the blacktop was lava” is a metaphor – it directly compares very hot asphalt to lava. “To pull someone’s leg” is an idiom – we understand it figuratively to mean to tease or joke, and it fails to be a metaphor because it makes no comparison.

Just keep comparisons in mind, and you’ll be able to distinguish metaphors and idioms at the drop of a hat.

2014 The Alhambra’s Court of Lions (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Alhambra: At the center of 1492 Commentary by Don Knebel

COMING IN MARCH! Current Publishing’s special section on March 18 will clue in readers in 108,133 households in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville exactly how to maxmize on the change of seasons. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to reach the most-coveted audience anywhere in Indiana.

During 1492, the Alhambra in Grenada, Spain, was at the center of events that literally changed the direction of human history. Today the Alhambra is the finest example travel of Islamic architecture in Europe.

Grenada was founded in the eleventh century by successors of Muslims who had captured most of what is now Spain from the Visigoths in 711. By 1248, Christian forces had recaptured all major Spanish cities except Granada. Grenada, whose Muslim rulers welcomed its Jewish residents, became one of the most important cities in Europe. In the fourteenth century, Grenada’s Nasrid rulers completed the Alhambra on a hill overlooking the city as a combined fortress and palace. The main courtyard surrounded a circle of twelve marble lions, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, carved by Jewish craftsmen. The palace included an imposing Hall of Ambassadors, where the Sultan of Granada received visitors.

On January 2, 1492, the Sultan surrendered the Alhambra to the superior forces of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, the “Catholic Kings” whose marriage had united two Spanish kingdoms. Isabella immediately occupied the chair in the Hall of

Ambassadors, reportedly receiving Christopher Columbus. Columbus, who had seen Granada fall, pitched anew his plan to sail west and convert the Muslims of India to Christianity.

The “Alhambra Decree,” issued by Ferdinand and Isabella on March 31, 1492, ordered all Jews to leave Spain within four months unless they converted to Christianity. On April 17, Ferdinand and Isabella commissioned Columbus to sail to India and he left Granada on May 12. By July 31, up to 800,000 Jewish residents had fled Spain to avoid execution without trial. On October 12, 1492, Columbus, who may have been secretly Jewish, encountered the lands of the “New World” he insisted to his death were part of India.

In April 1992, five hundred years after the Alhambra Decree, Spanish King Juan Carlos, wearing a yarmulke, welcomed descendants of the expelled “Sephardic” (Spanish) Jews back to Spain, where they can now become citizens. The Alhambra, witness to the best and the worst of Spanish history, has become one of Spain’s most popular sites.

The remodel: Space planning improves master bath

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING BATHROOM: The owner of this home in the Admirals Landing subdivision at Geist had lived with his master bathroom blueprint for for almost 20 years. “The improvement bathroom was old. Everything was black and white, the tiles needed regrouted and the faucets needed replaced. I wanted to change things and decided doing it piecemeal made no sense. So I decided to remodel the whole space.”

ELIMINATING LARGE TUB DECK: Eliminating wasted space was a goal for the project. “The master bath had a bad set up. The large tub deck under the window included wasted space on each end. I had two vanities but they were on opposite sides of the room and small.” The homeowner wanted to keep a tub in the space, and was hoping for a double vanity. The shower was well located and appropriately sized, therefore the new design did little to alter its footprint.

COORDINATING TILE & GRANITE: The owner wanted helping selecting the right materials. “I wanted granite countertops and tile in the shower and on the floors. My designer helped me narrow my choices so I ended up with what I liked.” The Colombian Sand floor tile was chosen to compliment the Alviana Noce shower wall tile. Maple cabinetry in a soft white color with a slate glaze contrasts the tropic brown granite countertops. Carrying the granite over to the tub deck, wall caps, shower seats, niche shelves and door sill provided a cohesive look.

before & after

RESULT: Removing the existing tub and decking left room for the new tub to be installed next to the shower. The shower was expanded slightly to provide a cohesive line between the shower and the tub. The opposite wall was filled with a large double vanity, greatly increasing the counter and storage space in the bathroom.

Although the overall footprint was not expanded, the room felt much more spacious with the reconfiguration.
