Noblesville cancer survivor embraces Relay For Life
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Brad Kinkead never intended to get so involved with Relay For Life. “My wife and I always said we weren’t going to be captains, we would join event someone else’s team,” Kinkead said. “But we had all these ideas, so we decide to be captains and started our own team this year. We said we weren’t going to be on the committee because we had a lot going on in our life. We saw we could make a difference in Relay, so we joined the committee as well as having our own team.” Kinkead, a Noblesville resident who is a stagethree colorectal cancer survivor, is in sales, and his wife, Christa, is in advertising. They have two children, Caitlin, 15 and Tyler, 13. “Our team this year is a superheroes team, and the kids are really loving it,” Kinkead said. “If you want to attract kids the best way to do it is to ask kids. We have a cotton candy machine, and we have different games at our campsite.” Kinkead’s team will participate in Relay For Life May 14 and 15 at Forest Park in Noblesville, starting at 10 a.m. A Paint the Town Purple event to promote Relay For Life is set for May 6 on Noblesville’s Town Square. It will be part of Noblesville’s First Friday, which runs from 5 to 8 p.m. Luminaria bags to honor friends or family affected by cancer will be available for purchase. The luminaria ceremony is held at every Relay. As committee members, the Kinkeads are in charge of sponsorship and promoting the event. “We’ve brought in four sponsors who weren’t involved in Relay before,” Kinkead said. “We’re
just trying to get the community involved.” Now 41, Kinkead was diagnosed with this form of cancer at a young age. He pointed out colonoscopies typically aren’t recommended until a person turns 50. Kinkead was diagnosed June 11, 2013 and had surgery July 25 that year. “I was lucky because I had both colon and rectal cancer, so I covered both spectrums,” Kinkead said. “I had surgery to remove my colon, and twothirds of my rectum. After my surgery, I went through 12 sessions of chemotherapy every other week for three days, so it was pretty rigorous.” Since February 2014, Kinkead has had no evidence of cancer. He said doctors don’t like to use the word cure or remission, because, in his case, there is a slight chance the rectal cancer could come back. Kinkead first became involved with Relay in 2014, joining his mother’s team in Westfield. For more, visit relayforlife.org.

Campaign sign notice from INDOT – The Indiana Dept. of Transportation urges political candidates and their supporters to keep our roads free from encroaching campaign signs for the safety of the motoring public. INDOT says signs can block visibility for traffic entering and exiting the roadway at intersections and driveways. Areas that should remain sign-free include intersections, interchanges and rights-of-way that run along the roadway. Where the right of way is not clearly marked, boundaries may be estimated as the fence line, the back of the ditch or behind utility poles. For more, visit in.gov/indot. Area code changes – Due to a shortage in 317 area code phone numbers, a new 463 area code will be assigned to new phone numbers in the Indianapolis metropolitan area beginning Oct. 17. Current 317 numbers will not change, but a 10-digit dial will be required to make local phone calls starting Sept. 17. Student Design Challenge – Hamilton Co. Area Neighborhood Development and the Hamilton Co. Leadership Academy have partnered to sponsor the Student Design Challenge for high school students.

Two big developments coming By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com
Exit 210 hotel and convention center Sun Development and Management Corp. Mayor John Ditslear and CEO Bharat Patel show the rendering for Embassy Suites by Hilton, a 187,700-square-foot hotel with 198 suites, 20,000 square feet of conference space and 5,000 square feet of meeting space coming to the southwest intersection of Tegler Drive and Olio Road. Patel said he expects to break ground on the project in May. At its March 15 meeting, the Noblesville
Common Council approved the project’s preliminary development plan and had previously approved the establishment of an economic revitalization area, making way for a 10-year (100 percent for the first five years, 80 percent for the last five years) tax abatement. The abatement will end in 2029, at which point city officials say the city should expect to see approximately $879,000 annually in tax revenue.
BlueSky: Making the western gateway BlueSky CEO Todd Irwin, Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and BlueSky President and COO Eric Warne show off the design for the 40,000-square-foot building. Currently, BlueSky’s headquarters sit at 15570 Stony Creek Way, but the international company will soon have a new presence in the Federal Hill District, at the intersection of John and Osborn Streets, and in the city’s effort to expand downtown by development of the west side, BlueSky will be the first major develop-
ment since the approval of the now-in-development Federal Hill Commons, both of which will help develop the city’s western gateway. Last May, the Noblesville Common Council approved a $3.7 million incentive package to the company for its new 40,000-square-foot headquarters. At its March 19 meeting, the Noblesville Common Council approved the establishment of an economic revitalization area for tax abatements on the property for the company.

Student presents ‘Red Flags’ at state competition Mark
Heirbrandt Keeping Hamilton County On The Right Track
@MarkHeirbrandt /MarkHeirbrandtForHamiltonCounty PAID FOR BY THE CAMPAIGN FOR MARK HEIRBRANDT
news@currentnoblesville.com Maria Ferraro, a senior Noblesville High School student and intern at Advocates for Children & Families, achievement recently participated in the Family Career and Consumer Leaders of America statewide competition. The event held at the Marriott East Hotel in Indianapolis, consisted of hundreds of students sharing project work presented to a panel of five professional judges. Ferraro, with her project partner Olivia Conner, had to identify a local, state, national or global concern and form an action plan that would allow them to advocate on behalf of the issue. As an intern at AFCF, Ferraro said she was aware of the organization’s flagship prevention program called the Red Flags Campaign, a movement to increase awareness of the signs of unhealthy dating relationships. Ferraro selected the Red Flags Campaign for her project to enhance its presence in her local community. To support the action plan and baseline for the FCCLA project, Ferraro conducted anonymous surveys among a sampling of

high school students to hear how her peers felt about the issue of unhealthy teen dating relationships. “When reviewing the surveys, I was so surprised of how unaware my fellow students were of how teen dating violence actually affects their friends,” Ferraro stated. Surveys collected for this advocacy project revealed many teens know someone who has been involved in an unhealthy relationship. The survey sampling also revealed more students are interested in more information and how to prevent it from happening. Ferraro said the project showed her how important it is to make the “red flags” or signs
of unhealthy relationships in dating more known among her teen peers. “We don’t always realize the warning signs,” she said. “More information can help us help each other.” According to the Indiana Coalition Against Dating Violence, approximately 1 in 11 teens report being a victim of physical dating violence each year. AFCF’s Red Flags Campaign uses images and social media to educate teens on red flags of unhealthy dating relationships including, possessiveness, jealousy, isolation and excessive texting.

Noblesville Schools looks to continue operating referendum in primary election By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Schools district is one that prides itself on innovation, from staff to students to programs, and throughout all grade levels. However, Indiana’s fundcover story ing formula for public schools has left many districts, similar to and including Noblesville, in a jam when it comes to financing its staff and programs. Since implementation of property tax caps and a reduction in monies received from the state, Noblesville Schools has lost approximately $38 million in total revenue since 2009, putting them among the bottom 10 percent, along with the rest of Hamilton Co., in per-pupil funding. With its current operating referendum set to expire in December 2017, the district is looking to have another approved by voters during the primary election on May 3. Voters will be asked a simple yes-or-no question on their ballots for or against the referendum, to last until May 2023. “It’s 10.5 percent that it will be lower, and the reason why we can lower it by that rate is because we really tightened our belts, we’ve gotten some additional monies from the state that’s guaranteed for two years, … and Noblesville is growing, so that has helped us, too,” Supt. Dr. Beth Niedermeyer said. Right now, residents of Noblesville pay 21 cents per every $100, but with the new referendum, the rate is reduced to 18.9 cents per every $100, meaning residents will pay less than they currently are in taxes. “This referendum is an operating referendum, and operating is for staff and programming. Ninety percent of our operating fund is people,” Niedermeyer said. “We have 1,500 employees, so being the largest employer in Noblesville, this referendum is about maintaining the wonderful academic programming that we have in place now. It’s about maintaining good class sizes, and it’s about maintaining the current services. That’s why this is important.” If the referendum does not pass on May 3, Niedermeyer said the district stands to lose approximately $6 million (or 10 percent) each year from its operating budget, along with a chunk of staff and other services. “So, since 90 percent of it (the operating budget) is staff, that would mean that we would have to reduce staff by 150,
‘tightening our belts’ Supt. Dr. Beth Niedermeyer often refers to the district’s cutbacks as “tightening our belts.” Here are a few ways Niedermeyer says the district has saved money on its own accord: • Reduction in hours for support staff • Reduction in overtime costs • Employee cell phones and vehicles eliminated • Restructuring of central office staff • More than $1 million saved in energy costs through energy conservation efforts when building new facilities • Eliminating costly renovation/remodeling features like special types of flooring and more grandiose entryways • Elimination of computer labs because of iPad use; labs now used as classroom space without construction • Reduction of paper, printers, copying, etc. because of iPad use • Granted approximately $150,000 for eLearning initiatives

which is significant, and considering that 70 percent of our staff are Noblesville residents, it would have a big impact on the whole community,” Niedermeyer said. “But I think, more importantly, it would mean we would have less of our programming, like Project Lead the Way and some of our fine arts and performing arts, P.E. classes. We’d see increased class sizes, and we would see fewer services in regards to transportation … minimized transportation routes. It would even impact custodial services in our buildings because the cuts would be across the all employee groups.” Anyone interested in voting on the referendum must be registered to vote in Hamilton Co. and be a Noblesville resident. The deadline the register to vote was April 4. Early and
absentee voting is currently taking place at the Hamilton Co. Government and Judicial Center on the west side of the downtown Noblesville square from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, until May 2 at noon. Special Saturday early and absentee voting will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 23 and 30. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Election Day, May 3. To find your polling place, visit www.hamiltoncounty. in.gov/222/Current-Election-Information. The referendum vote will appear on all democrat, republican and no-party ballots. No-party ballots will only include school board races and the referendum. For more on voting, call the Hamilton Co. Elections office at 317-776-8476.
MILLERYES.ORG The political action committee promoting the importance of passing the operating referendum, Friends of Noblesville Schools, has set up milleryes.org., a site dedicated to informing voters on the necessity of the referendum, including a lengthy FAQs section and contact and election information. The site also features a tax impact calculator for residents to see what they are paying under the current referendum, what they will pay under the future referendum if passed and how much they are saving from referendum to referendum.

Opening doors for our readers
As you might know, we use independent marketplace research at Current Publishing to determine what our content should be. The most recent round of research has been completed by SMARI, Inc., and the research firm treated us to something of an executive summary last week. While there is much to dig through, we learned, among other things, that Current is reaching a vast audience, approval exceeds 90 percent and readers want involvement. Because of that high level of interest, we are opening the door to readers that would like to participate in this column. As soon as we’re able, we would like to retitle this tome, now in its 10th year, Roses and Thorns. The idea is to have you and others tell everyone who or what in the community should get a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down and why. It would be a few words about a good deed done, or a few on something that takes issue with, for example, municipal infrastructure. Given the column’s space limitations, we would edit for length. The broader idea is to provide you and your fellow readers with an outlet, involve you more and maybe bring light to something that otherwise would not have been noticed. ••• We’re proud to support the annual Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast at Ritz Charles in Carmel on April 27, and we hope you will, too. It’s a 7 a.m.-to-9 a.m. fundraiser, and we always learn something.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Ben Franklin Commentary by Terry Anker Sir Thomas Browne, an English physician and theologian is quoted in 1642 as saying, “But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? ‘Charity begins at home,’ is the voice of the world.” Like most aphorisms, this holds mostly truth but leaves a gap or two in understanding (perhaps because of its intentionally concise nature). What is home? We’d all mostly support our own families. Perhaps, we’d help a neighbor – or a neighborhood. But, when do we imagine other humans to not be of our tribe? Is it a city line, a national boundary or a continental gap? My bride and I took to support the newly announced Ben Franklin Funds designed to support The Indianapolis Foundation in celebrating its centenary year. Following the lead of the American statesman who left small gifts for a pair of nascent colonial cities that, thanks to compound interest, matured into a big fund with even bigger
philanthropic impact. In a nutshell, The Indianapolis Foundation has asked that 1,000 people donate $100 and 100 people donate $1,000 to generate $200,000,000 in 2016. To start the party early, the Evening of 100 Dinners, June 15 or June 23, will bring together these donors to imagine a future. To give, join or host a dinner, or to learn more about the time-capsule, check out www.bein2016.org/bff/. One hundred years ago, Indianapolis did not include most of what it is today. A century from now, it might be bigger, or smaller, or gone entirely. Yet, even as we watch our own children grow towards a future that we will never see, I am optimistic that our little investment will stand as a beacon to future Hoosiers about the hope that we hold for them and our bit of earth today.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. – Benjamin Franklin
Last night I was hanging out with two of my sisters flipping through channels. We ended up on “Magic Mike XXL” humor and began a long conversation about the many different sequels that suck. (We strongly differed on “Pitch Perfect,” by the way, but that’s a whole ‘nother column.) After a while I remembered that my almost-15-year-old son was sitting right next to me, listening to us ramble but also half-heartedly watching a stripper movie. Rated R of course, and even though the volume was barely loud enough to hear (this movie is so not about dialogue!), it occurred to me that it was highly inappropriate for a freshman in high school. Then I realized that two nights ago I had allowed his twin to watch another adults-only movie, “Sisters,” and am seriously considering letting her attend the very risqué “Book of Mormon.” I’ve even started swearing in front of them. What. Is. Wrong. With. Me. Seriously? Where did that Mother of the Year go? As I expressed these views with my younger sisters, one confessed that she had accidentally taken her fourth and sixth graders to “Deadpool,” the exact opposite of a kid-friendly Marvel movie, and the other said her 3-year-old twins’ favorite is the PG-13 “Avatar.” We all agreed that we are terrible mothers. The thing is, we really just don’t care anymore. After having more than one child, it becomes too exhausting to monitor every TV show, radio program and/or book they consume. I think eventually parents reach their maximums on the censorship allotment that they’re given at the hospital (along with those crazy mesh underwear), and decide it’s not as big a deal as it once was. Plus, I actually trust my kids to make good decisions on their entertainment options, and if nothing else, those choices can lead to important conversations. Last night for example, one scene lead to a wonderful recollection of taking his great-grandmothers to a Chippendale show. The point is, eventually, you have to step back and hope you’ve done enough. If they choose “Archer,” at least it’s clever. Peace out.

Be aware of ‘vicious traits’ bred into pit bulls Editor, In the 3-29-16 edition of the Current, Adam Aasen wrote a small piece about a family that adopted a pit bull rescue dog and the Humane Society’s promotion of March as pit bull education month with their Pit Bull Parade event. I think it is a wonderful thing that unwanted dogs are recued this way and that this family has found a great pet. But the Humane Society and this article ignore some facts about which people need to be aware. It is believed that all dogs are descendants of the wolf. The amazing thing is that one dog can be bred to have characteristics as different as night and day from another. The Chihuahua is the same species as the St. Bernard, but they look as different as a rabbit and pony. Dogs were not just bred for appearance. In fact it is believed that most early breeding of dogs was more for skills and temperament than looks. There are biblical references to dogs being used to herd sheep like the border collie breed of today according to the American Kennel Club. The AKA Dog Book publication will give you a background
on the origins of all their recognized breeds and the history of the earlier related breeds when available. Just as border collies were bred for their herding skills and pointers were bred for hunting, the pit bull was bred for certain reasons. This does not mean that all of the individuals of a specific breed have its targeted characteristics to the exclusion of all other characteristics. All dogs inherited all of their characteristics form the wolf and likely all dogs retain a little bit of all these characteristics. The separation of one breed form another are the specific traits that are targeted in its breeding. According to the AKA Dog Book, pit bulls evolved in England as a cross between terriers and bulldogs to try to combine the traits of the two breeds. These traits included: “the spirit and agility of the terrier” and “the courage and tenacity of the bulldog”. In the 1870s the dog was highly prized in America for “pit gaming” due to their strength, courage and tenacity. This is the origin of the nickname pit bull for the AKA recognized American Staffordshire Terrier breed.
The Humane Society’s event and Mr. Aasen’s article point out that not all pit bulls are vicious and dangerous. This is certainly a true fact. But it does ignore the fact that in pit bulls the vicious traits are not just “in there,” like in all dogs, but they have been bred specifically to make these traits more dominant. That is why I know of no insurance company that will knowingly write a homeowners policy for anyone who owns a pit bull breed dog. (Just ask your agent the next time you see him or her.) I understand why the Humane Society wants to promote adoption of these breeds. They are likely not the first dog chosen by a rescue family, and no one wants to see any innocent animal put down because it was not adopted. However, I would prefer that the Humane Society try to promote the curbing of the source of these unwanted animals than trying to “dispel some misconceptions about ‘bully breeds”” and glossing over their true in-bred traits.

It’s good to be a “flexitarian” - a word that describes vegetarians who aren’t that strict and meat-eaters who are striving for a more health conscious diet. Plant-based diets have many health benefits with their emphasis on fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, legumes and nuts; this way of eating is rich in fiber, vitamins and other nutrients. This aromatic, vegetarian, Indian dish, Curry Chickpea Stew, is full of flavor, easy to prepare, and it’s even better the next day! Note: Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are high in protein, fiber and iron. Serves: 5 Ingredients: • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced • 3 (15-oz.) cans organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely cut in cubes • 2 bay leaves • 1 tablespoon curry powder • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • 1 tablespoon minced, peeled fresh ginger • Salt and pepper to taste • 1 (15-oz) can organic tomato sauce

• 1 cup organic vegetable broth • 12-oz spinach Directions: Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over high heat. Add onion, garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened and slightly browned. Reduce heat to medium, and add chickpeas, red bell pepper, bay leaves, curry powder, cumin and ginger. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir all well for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and vegetable broth. Cover and simmer until chickpeas are soft, about 30 minutes. Add spinach a handful at a time until it wilts. Serve immediately with jasmine or basmati rice and naan bread. Ceci Martinez is a Zionsville resident who was born in New York and raised in Peru.

Spring is here, and Carmel residents are eagerly welcoming the warm weather and outdoor From Your Pharmacist activities. Unfortunately, the beauty of spring also means a return of red, itchy and watery eyes as well as sneezing and runny noses for allergy sufferers. To truly enjoy the vibrancy of spring, it is important to understand allergies and how to manage them. What are allergies? In short, allergies are the body’s way of overreacting to a foreign object in the air (pollen, for example) and fighting it with an immune response. Allergy treatments Our first line of defense for mild allergies are the daily, over-the-counter antihistamines. The three that I recommend do not cause drowsiness like many others: Claritin, Allegra and Zyrtec. There is no strong evidence that one is better than another, but if the product doesn’t benefit you within 3-5 days, try another one. Your insurance may even pay for medicine, making them even more affordable. For more stubborn allergies, daily nasal ste-
roids fight more than histamine. Most insurance plans will help pay for nasal steroids, but three are available over the counter: Flonase, Nasacort and Rhinocort. There is more to using these medicines than simply squirting them up your nose, however. Ask your pharmacist for the proper usage technique. There are also alternative ways to treat allergies: • Using a nasal irrigation product like the Neti Pot or saline spray flushes your nasal passages. • Vacuuming often reduces dust mites. • Getting tested by your doctor determines exactly what you are allergic to so you can avoid it whenever possible. • Paying attention to pollen counts and allergy indexes provides advance notice of the days you may feel your worst. Remember that it is always important to inform your doctor or pharmacist of over-thecounter medications you try. If these solutions aren’t helping, there are prescription-only options or allergy shots that may be appropriate. Anthony Russo, BS, PharmD, RPh is a pharmacy team leader at Giant Eagle Pharmacy in Carmel’s Market District.

Kidney disease factors – Our modern lifestyles put quite a strain on our kidneys. Unfortunately, most people with chronic kidney disease don’t realize it until it’s too late.

Risk factors include high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obesity, age 65 or older and family history of the disease. Source: BottomLineHealth.com

Blueprint for Improvement: From the ’80s to modern living Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to create a brighter, more modern and functional space the homeowners could enjoy with family and friends. 1. The fireplace was refinished in an asymmetrical style using new linear tile for the surround and quartz material for the face. 2. The fireplace hearth extended across the room to the new feature wall, adding additional seating and hidden storage to the room. 3. A media box was designed inside the fireplace mantle to hide behind the mounted television. 4. A new feature wall with custom lighting was built in place of the built-ins, giving the homeowners the perfect place to feature their glass collection. 5. New weathered concrete Coretec flooring and warm grey paint completed the modern space, giving it a cohesive look.
Before Background info: This Kokomo home was in need of a living room update. The homeowners built the home in 1984 and had not done any updating since. The living room needed to reflect the modern style of the recently updated kitchen. Their children also told them it was time for an update!
Before problems: The existing space was very traditional and did not reflect the homeowners’ contemporary style. The space no longer functioned well for the homeowners, nor functioned well with today’s modern technology. The space also contained built-in cabinetry the homeowners rarely used.

Brussels’ magnificent town hall
Dispatches
Commentary by Don Knebel
Designer workshop series – The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics.

The town hall of Brussels, Belgium, is one of the most impressive buildings of its kind in Europe. The city travel it serves is smaller than most people imagine. What became the Brussels town hall was begun in the early 15th century when Brussels was one of four capitals of the Duchy of Brabant, a state of the Holy Roman Empire. The Gothic building originally included a short belfry on one end and was expanded in 1444 by adding a larger section adjacent the belfry. In 1454, the belfry was replaced by a 310-foot-tall tower featuring an open octagonal pinnacle topped by a sixteen-foot-tall gilded statue of Archangel Michael, the patron saint of Brussels. Michael, the only angel referred to by name in the Old and New Testaments and the Quran, is slaying a dragon thought to represent Satan. An improbable local legend says the tower’s architect jumped to his death when he recognized the tower was off-center. Brussels’ town hall is located along the west side of the Grand Place, a lively
Simple facial mask – Here’s a super simple facial mask use can use to tone and tighten skin. Beat two egg yolks, and apply them to your clean face, forehead and neck, avoiding the sensitive area around your eyes. Leave it on for 20 minutes as you relax on your bed with pillows under your feet. Do not talk while relaxing – the egg yolk will crack, peel and fall off before it gets to do its work.

Manicure tips – Petroleum jelly is very useful for manicures. When you open a new bottle of nail polish, put a thin coat of the jelly around the neck of the jar to keep it from sticking in the future. Before you use the polish, use a cotton swab to apply more petroleum jelly to the skin around your nails. That way, any polish that misses won’t stick to your skin. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com
Town hall of Brussels, Belgium (Photo by Don Knebel)
public square surrounded by guild halls and museums. One of the museums holds 137 statues of nobles and saints originally displayed on the town hall’s façade, now replaced with replicas. When Belgium split from the Netherlands in 1830, Brussels became the new country’s capital and the Brussels town hall served briefly as the seat of government. Today, the town hall holds the offices of the mayor of the City of Brussels, whose 170,000 residents speak both French and Dutch. The City of Brussels is one of 19 independent municipalities comprising the BrusselsCapital Region, a polyglot urban area with a population of 1.2 million. Despite its relatively small size, the City of Brussels is the home to the headquarters of the European Union and NATO, making it the unofficial capital of Europe.
