Keep Noblesville Beautiful
Community gives superhero effort in clean-up By Mark Johnson • editorial@youarecurrent.com For the past few weeks, thousands of people have flocked to multiplexes everywhere to catch “The Avengers,” the latest blockbuster centering on superheroes and their amazing actions. However, on May 19, many Noblesville residents got the opportunity to witness the extraordinary deeds of some of the city’s real-life superheroes. The organization known as Keep Noblesville Beautiful staged a daylong service project to clean up, fix up and keep up their community. Volunteers and volunteer groups from around the city participated in what has come to be known as the KNB Blitz. The event on May 19 marked the seventh blitz that has drawn the support of individuals, businesses, churches and other organizations interested in contributing time and resources to the betterment of the of the city. “This is what it’s all about,” said KNB board member Cindy Haas. “Helping out and helping others!” Mikki Perrine concurred. “They’ve done some great things for people who need it,” Perrine said. Perrine, the owner and operator of Ginger’s Café in Noblesville, not only serves as a board member, but also provided sack lunches to the participants and the volunteers. “The least I could do was to provide them some nourishment,” she said. Perrine also gave high marks to members of the Noblesville High School National Honor Society who made up a large part of the more than 80 volunteers who arrived early Saturday morning. Other volunteer groups participating in the Blitz include the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, CERT Certified

Emergency Response Team and the North Side Crime Watch. “We had a lot more young people show up this year,” said Susan Mayes, blitz organizer. “It’s very inspiring to see the young people show up all covered in paint and say, ‘Thanks, it was fun!’ It’s really amazing that they enjoy helping others so much.” The KNB Blitz was completed in cooperation with the Noblesville Street Dept., City Hall, Hamilton County Master Gardeners and IDNR Tree Stewards. KNB was assisted in organizing this event by the North Side Crime Watch group, which canvassed the neighborhood to encourage homeowner participation.

Noblesville history shaped by KNB volunteers Commentary by Darla Kinney Scoles Cleaning gutters, planting rose bushes, pressure-washing sidewalks, mulching and painting – if found on my weekend to-do list, these chores might have caused me to pull the covers up over my head and delay the day’s beginning. Working on these projects for someone else, however, brought great joy and meaning to my Saturday afternoon, as I took part in a Keep Noblesville Beautiful spring blitz. Always well-organized and happy events, KNB days require only that one show up and be willing to work (sometimes hard). Everything else is seen to – shirts, tools, food, water and appreciation are provided in abundance. I like that. Showing up and sweating is rewarded every time when residents slowly emerge from their homes and, taking new pride in their area, start their own projects and

chat with volunteers. Residents benefitting directly from KNB efforts are always gracious and grateful. Those working include families with children, teens, young adults and empty-nesters. It’s a formula for success on so many levels. I am happy to play a small part.

of connectedness that wasn’t necessarily there prior to helping a neighbor improve their home, landscape and general attitude about being a resident of Noblesville proper. I like that too. Now when I traverse Evans Street and spot the bright red awnings adorning one home there, I will instantly remember a day of service. The same feel-good rush will come as I pass a certain spot on 10th Street where many worked to uncover a beautiful, historic brick sidewalk slowly being claimed by overgrowth. Add this to the other KNB projects I’ve worked over the past five years and I feel pretty good about the place I live no matter where I go.

St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast Introduces a Permanent Car Seat Fitting Station
BestHeartCare.com
Do you know your risk for heart Disease?
Car crashes are the number one killer of children in the United States. And with seven out of 10 children using car seats that aren’t properly secured, it’s easy to see the importance of having your child’s car seat correctly installed. That’s why St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast (soon to be St.Vincent Fishers Hospital) has created a car seat fitting station designed to ensure your child’s car seat is properly installed. A properly installed car seat helps prevent injury to your child in case of an auto accident, and could even save a life.
“Our main goal is to make sure child car seats in our community are inspected, correctly sized and properly installed,” said Kathy Molloy, coordinator of the permanent car seat fitting station and licensed social worker at St.Vincent
Medical Center Northeast. “We’re accredited by the Automotive Safety Program, and we’ll be offering at least 10 hours of inspection time per month starting in June or July of this year.”
Parents who get their child’s car seat inspected at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast can expect to get the most current, up-to-date information about child car seat safety from trained child passenger safety technicians. “We’re excited we can give out this potentially life-saving information to parents and help serve the community of Hamilton County in this way,” said Molloy. Car seat inspection and fitting services will be available at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast by appointment starting this summer. For more information, call 317-415-9050.

Blowing away cystic fibrosis By Krista Bocko • editorial@youarecurrent.com More than 100 people gathered under blue skies and in perfect temperatures as hopefulness for a cure reigned May 19 at the 21st annual Noblesville Great Strides walk to “Blow Away Cystic Fibrosis.” Walks for a cure for cystic fibrosis are held all around the state in the month of May. Twenty-one years ago, Pam Crozier started the Noblesville walk. “She knew she wanted to do something, and she really wanted to be closer to the community and where we live,” said Holly Elliott, Crozier’s niece, who has cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease affecting the respiratory and digestive systems, producing thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and pancreas. Those living with CF, approximately 30,000 children and adults in the U.S., undergo timeconsuming treatments and take pills daily. Earlier this year, a new drug, Kalydeco, was approved by the FDA to treat CF for 4 percent of the CF population with a specific gene mutation. The drug, a breakthrough treatment for
CF, treats the disease at the cellular level instead of just treating the symptoms. Elliott, who spends two to four hours a day doing therapies to manage her symptoms of CF, said she is hopeful that the new drug has opened the door to finding a cure for all people affected by CF. Debbie Robertson of the Indiana Cystic Fibrosis Foundation urged everyone to keep giving to find a cure. “We used to have the funds but not the science; now we have the science but not the funds,” Robertson said. Robertson said the fundraising goal for the walk is $26,000. As of the day of the walk, more than $20,000 had been donated. Online donations can be made at any time by going to www.cff.org, clicking on “Great Strides” and searching for “Holly’s Hope,” “Fritz’s Fantastic Friends” or other local teams. Noblesville Golf and Batting Center, located at 17400 Willow View Rd., just off Ind. 32, will be hosting its annual Cystic Fibrosis Day from noon to 4 p.m. June 24 with music, food and raffles, and all proceeds go to the CFF.

The plot
Koda needs a flower to feed his cubs, but what does he do when his flowers have vanished? After sneaking flowers from the neighbors makes them angry, he calls on Frizzy Izzy to help create peace between them. Sprinkled with lessons in zoology, horticulture and geography, this rhythmic story inspires and reminds us to be kind to our world and those we share it with. “Frizzy Izzy: YELP!” was written by Carrie VanAlstine and illustrated by Todd Dysert. The book is available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and AuthorHouse Web sites. mon eye to eye and just do it,” she said. When VanAlstine received her first published copy of “Frizzy Izzy: YELP!” 30 colorful pages about a gray wolf family, she was scared. “I thought it would be exciting, but it wasn’t,” she said. “It was taking me out of my comfort zone, but I feel passionate about it.” The true test came when VanAlstine read the story for the first time to Lyla. “I definitely cried,” she said recalling the day. “My daughter really enjoyed it and got into it. The next day she began to talk about nature facts. It felt like such a success because she learned from that.” Sprinkled with lessons in zoology, horticulture and geography, this rhythmic story inspires and reminds us to be kind to our world and those we share it with. The book was illustrated by Todd Dysert, a family friend and tattoo artist. “It’s a very personal piece of work to me,” she said. “If funding allows, I’d like to continue the series.” VanAlstine already has two more stories written – one featuring chinchillas and the other featuring polar bears. “They need a little refinement, but the stories are there,” she said. “Frizzy Izzy: YELP!” is available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and AuthorHouse Web sites. www.currentnoblesvillecom

To the Class of 2012: Believe in yourself It is our position that good luck, good will and good fortune be bestowed upon the Class of 2012, for they are unique in their own way. They began their primary education at the turn of the century, riding the wave of the Y2K scare. A few years later, America experienced the deadliest attack on U.S. soil that forever changed our country. It’s a class whose normal view of the world is being at war. They are perhaps one of the most technologically well-versed classes to date. They’ve grown up in the spotlight by expressing themselves to the world through social media. The information-age, Google kids are now young adults armed with a diploma, ready to move on to the next phase in life – learning how to make a living in a weakened economy. The best advice may be found in the “How Communities Form” chapter of their social studies books from grade school. Be industrious. Be creative. Be entrepreneurial. Don’t be afraid of hard work. Take risks. In the words of author and psychologist Richard Carlson, “Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff.” Lyricist Johnny Mercer wrote quite simply, “Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative.” Finally, believe in yourself.

It's Greek to me
Commentary by Terry Anker
While traveling with a group speaking in various cities in the Middle East and Eastern Europe on the Austrian School of Economics, I found myself in Greece at the very time that its government is up-for-grabs and its economy is on the verge of collapse. The 350 or more folks that packed an auditorium in Thessaloniki (the second largest city after Athens) were concerned about the future of the country and its participation in the European Union. That night at a late dinner, I found myself sitting next to an affable Greek man whose spouse had served on the local organizing committee for the day’s events. After discovering that his sister had attended IU, our conversation ultimately turned to economics. He asserted that the highest form of humanity thus far to inhabit our spinning rock were the ancient Greeks. He suggested that they spent their time in pursuit of enlightenment, not the avarice befalling (his words) the West today. He claimed that rampant materialism is the order
of the day. Hmm. Didn’t those ancient men all have slaves to serve their material needs freeing them for other interests? Well, he conceded that slavery wasn’t ideal, but defended the short workday and early retirement of many Greeks. Then, I asked, were modern Greeks, by failing to address their significant debt to the rest of the EU while continuing to demand financial support, simply resting on the toil of others, specifically the Germans? Had the Teutonic people become slaves to a fresh Greek leisure class? My companion smiled and responded, well maybe. Besides, he continued, the EU should never have allowed Greece to borrow from the beginning, so they deserved it. Yet, as I reflected on our own growing deficit, I wondered if our generation is enslaving the next. Somehow, it doesn’t feel right.

Everyone loves a parade, the old saw goes. But does everyone have the volunteer bug? We think not. Should they? We think so – more often than not, at least. So, please help us help the community celebrate The Noblesville July 4th Festival. Current is sponsoring the event again this year, but organizers need your help. Volunteers are needed for the festival in general and the parade specifically. Everything takes place at Noblesville High School on – you guessed it – Independence Day. The work shifts are all of two hours long, and you’ll get a free meal before or after your shift. If donating a couple hours of your time isn’t reward enough, you’ll be given a raffle ticket, possibly good for up to $300 at the end of each shift. The festival needs helpers for setting up, monitoring children’s activities, scoring games and much more. The majority of volunteer shifts are at 3:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. If you have questions or want more information about the festival and the volunteer activities, Cindy Benedict wants to hear from you at 770-2007 or cbenedict@noblesville.in.us. In advance, thanks for pitching in! ••• You’re receiving Current today, because Monday is a postal holiday. Instead of delaying our usual Tuesday delivery (the post office sorts the papers on Mondays, typically) to Wednesday, we decided to mail early. It’s a practice we almost always will undertake when there is a Monday postal holiday. We hope you enjoy a safe and restful Memorial Day weekend.

Lesson learned Laughs by Danielle Wilson
I know I just wrote an amazing column on planning the ultimate Mother’s Day, but for some reason, I didn’t heed my own advice. Stupid! Here’s what went down. For starters, I had two unsanctioned events scheduled, so I knew enjoying the day would prove challenging. Our oldest had a soccer game at 1 (with the potential to play in the championship at 6) and a daughter had volleyball at 12:30. (I’m sorry, but who schedules youth sporting events on Mother’s Day? That’s my day, damn it!) So my “plan” for Mother’s Day went something like this: Maybe squeeze in DSW in the morning and then perhaps hit Castleton late afternoon, followed by Panera or possibly an evening flick. Or, bag all shopping and plant flowers. Note: At no time prior to Mother’s Day did I discuss any of this with Doo, nor outline my expectations for him and the kids, which is why it all went to hell fairly quickly. I woke up and came down to a pile of dishes. My children did wish me a happy Mother’s Day, but that was the extent of their “Be Nice to Mom” agenda. When I asked for my cards/gifts/ clay ashtrays, I got five blank stares. Then I casually announced that eggs and bacon sounded
good, but no one took the hint. Shortly thereafter I left for Clay Terrace, only to end up brooding in my mini-van because the stores didn’t open until eleven. I flew by the house at noon to grab my girls for volleyball, help Doo pack up the boys and confirm that the kitchen was still a pit. My daughter won, but unfortunately, so did my futbol star. Now I was really in a quandary. I could either skip his big match and wallow in guilt and buttered popcorn, or sacrifice the remainder of the day to support him. Regrettably, my motherly instincts prevailed. I did manage a Macy’s moment before the game, and was able to spend his warm-up eating soup with Doo, but we didn’t get home until 8:30, just in time to prep lunches. The last straw? Doo’s comment as I was sulking upstairs: “I think we’re just too busy for you to have Mother’s Day anymore.” Pause for effect. But, we live and learn, and things will go differently next year. Peace out.

The Nickel Plate Arts Weekend is bringing local art, food and culture outdoors this weekend By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com This weekend, artists and local artisans will take part in the Nickel Plate Arts Weekend. The weekend is composed of more than 30 separate events across Noblesville, Fishers, Tipton, Arcadia and Cicero. The planned events include fine art exhibits, interactive art locations, local food and train rides. “The Nickel Plate Arts Weekend emerged out of the Hamilton County Artist Association’s Plein Air Paint-Out. Many area artists knew that this is not an event to miss. We saw that as an opportunity for something that Nickel Plate Arts could adopt and spin off from,” said Betsy Jones, interim director of Nickel Plate Arts and director of tourism development for the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Nickel Plate Arts, the organization responsible for the weekend, is spinning off from the
Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau into its own nonprofit organization that will act as a single hub from which a number of area artists, local galleries, festivals and other organizations can collaborate to further the arts throughout Hamilton County and central Indiana. This weekend is the first major step in that collaboration. “We commissioned 16 different local artists to paint large, outdoor umbrellas. Those umbrellas will be spread across the five communities (during the weekend) and will be accompanied by information, volunteers, artists and musicians,” said Jones. The public will have a chance to view all 16 umbrellas from 9 a.m. to noon this Friday at the Noblesville Square. While the HCAA’s fourth annual Plein Air Paint-Out is one of the weekend’s main events, other highlights include Noblesville’s Old Mill Festival, the Art Train from Noblesville to
Cicero, Arcadia and Tipton, Main Street’s Jazz Squared and the Nickel Plate Arts Campus Preview at the historic Judge Stone House. “We saw this weekend as our chance to enhance the Plein Air Paint-Out with more interactive elements and reasons to travel around the county. We aren’t looking to create something from nothing,” said Jones. “We are looking at what is bubbling up around us and what is already deeply embedded in our communities. We want to cultivate and enhance that.” In the future, Nickel Plate Arts is planning to host classes in a wide variety of areas such as visual art, music and poetry. “Our goal is to make art available and obvious. We want it to be accessible,” said Jones.

NIGHT & DAY Game Review Diablo III is a strong game wrapped in technical problems and utter inconvenience Commentary by Christian Sorrell It has been more than 12 years since its predecessor, but Diablo III is finally here. Following in the footsteps of other titles like Starcraft II, Blizzard, the game’s developer, has created something that is very much another Diablo game. For many, that will be a great thing. This time around, there are five different classes to pick from: the Witch Doctor, the Barbarian, the Wizard, the Monk and the Demon Hunter. Overall, the gameplay is the same as before, but the skill trees have been entirely reworked and simplified. For veteran players, it may feel like the game has been dumbed down with these changes, and I wouldn’t say that’s entirely inaccurate. In an attempt to fight online piracy, Blizzard requires Diablo III to be connected to the Internet at all times, even while playing single player and not utilizing any of the online functions in any way. This is, for the most part, unprecedented and honestly, it is the main reason for most of the game’s problems up to this point. This always-online connection requirement means that when Blizzard’s servers are down, players are completely unable to play the game. When they suffer any sort of connection issue on their end, the players will be pushed back to the game’s main menu instantly. When playing

alone, you will still experience lag from time to time, as if you were playing an online game. Ultimately, Diablo III is an easy game to recommend to fans of the series and newcomers alike … when it works, which so far has not been very often. Hopefully Blizzard will iron out the kinks, and we will all be demon slaying consistently for weeks to come. Diablo III is on sale now at local video game retailers and online at Diablo3.com.

Film “Coriolanus” • R, 123 minutes
Laura, Austin & Liam Walls
Palatial Air Commentary by Chris Lloyd
Shakespeare has rarely translated well to film, and even when it does – “Shakespeare in Love,” “Romeo + Juliet” – it’s usually in a modernistic, revisionist way that steps outside the rigid confines of the Bard’s plays. And the reason is simple: with nigh on half a millennium separating our version of the English from his, it’s very difficult for anyone who’s not a Ph.D. in literature to comprehend just what the heck the characters are saying. “Coriolanus,” based on one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known works, lies somewhere in between. The dialogue is tweaked enough to make it so the layman can follow along, but the bones of the story are still there. Ralph Fiennes, who also makes his directing
debut, plays the title character, an over-proud general just returned triumphant to Rome. He thinks his honor has won him the right to become consul, but the common people do not love him, and scheming politicians maneuver to rob him of the title. Enraged, Coriolanus joins forces with his mortal enemy to wage war against the empire. It’s grandiose, bombastic stuff, and both Fiennes and Vanessa Redgrave were passed over for Academy Award nominations they probably deserved.

Directions: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and chicken and sauté until cooked through. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, teriyaki sauce and honey. Add chicken mixture, cherries, carrot, green onion and almonds; toss together. To serve: Spoon 1/12 of the chicken/cherry mixture onto the center of each lettuce leaf; roll up leaf around filling and serve - AllRecipes.com
Recommendation: Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir 2010 ($20) Pinot Noir is one of the best wines to pair with cherries, mostly because the flavor itself is reminiscent of sweet red berries, plums and cherries. With this dish, the pinot noir will match and enhance the flavor of the Cherry Chicken. Available online and in specialty shops. www.currentnoblesville.com

Caring for Alzheimer’s Home Instead Senior Care hopes free workshop will educate, help individuals caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease can be a challenging experience, and many in that position suffer from a lack of know-how, according to Jeff Sewell. “The public, individuals caring for people who need assistance are desperate for information,” said Sewell, owner of the North Indianapolis Home Instead Senior Care office. To help individuals caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, Sewell’s office will hold its first, free family education workshop Thursday. The workshop will provide attendees with information and techniques used by professional caregivers for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. “Once a person’s been diagnosed, a lot of people think it’s an immediate sentence that they’ll have to leave home and live in a facility,” Sewell said. “We’re trying to tell people that you can care for them at home in surroundings that will be familiar.” The free program is part of a shift at Home Instead Senior Care in how its caregivers serve Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. The new model is dubbed Changing Aging through Research and Education, or CARE for short. A big part of the model is the Life Journal, which is a collection of information and personal history about the patient that caregivers can use to engage patients. “A lot of times Alzheimer’s patients love to live in the
By the numbers • There are an estimated 5.4 million people with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia in the U.S. today – a figure that’s projected to increase to more than 13 million by 2025. • In 2000, there were an estimated 100,000 dementia patients in Indiana alone. Today, there are more than 120,000, and will be a projected 130,000 by 2025 – a 30 percent increase over a 25-year period. • It’s estimated that one out of every seven individuals with dementia lives alone, and as much as 41 percent of them may remain undiagnosed. past,” Sewell sad. “Many of them can tell you their rank and serial number when they served in the military, but struggle with more recent memories.” The journal allows caregivers to tap into these memories to connect with their patients, an experience similar to one Sewell said he had with his own grandmother. “My grandma, as she aged, had trouble communicating,” he said. “Ironically, she kept her own journal, so when I visited I could read it and have something to talk to her about.” Sewell said he hopes the workshop will provide caregivers some universal tools to deal with their individual situations. “There’s no one situation like the other,” he said. “Every individual is going to progress at a different rate and experience different symptoms.” The free, family education workshop is Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Home Instead Senior Care Nora location, 941 E. 86th St., Suite 250, Indianapolis. More information is available by calling 252-472, or visiting www.homeinstead.com/141. An RSVP is requested for the event.

Medicare myths revealed Finance by Adam Cmejla
It’s time to lift the hood and examine Medicare, more specifically some common myths and misunderstandings that we see in our conversations with clients. A recent study found that 27 percent of pre-retiree respondents didn’t know how their health care expenses would change in retirement once enrolled in Medicare, and 65 percent of newly retired individuals (ages 65 to 75) say they pay the same or more for health care in retirement. Let’s examine four myths and facts about Medicare. Myth #1: Medicare is mandatory. Medicare is not mandatory. If you are an employee or the spouse of a covered employee and the current company has more than 20 employees, you are able to continue coverage under that group’s plan. Everyone else must enroll at age 65 or face a penalty. Myth #2: I’m automatically enrolled in Medicare. Medicare is not automatic, except if you are already receiving Social Security benefits. If you are not receiving Social Security benefits, you must enroll during open enrollment. Open enrollment is the three-month window leading up to your 65th birthday, the month of your birthday and the three months after. If you are covered under a group plan, you have up to seven months after group coverage ends to en-
roll without penalty. Myth #3: All medical costs are covered under Medicare. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, (non-medically driven) dental and eye exams, hearing aids, cosmetic surgery, billed services over Medicare-approved amounts and amounts not covered by deductibles and coinsurance (20 percent) are all the responsibility of the insured, not Medicare. This is why supplemental insurance is a key planning discussion (otherwise referred to as “medigap” policies). Myth #4: Medical expenses aren’t that much higher in retirement. Medicare premiums start at $99.90 per person and increase as one’s income increases. Add to that outof-pocket costs, prescription drug coverage, copayments, coinsurance, deductibles and supplemental premiums, and it’s easy to see how medical care must be a major planning piece in everyone’s retirement planning situation. If you haven’t already, make sure you sit down with a qualified professional to discuss these and many other scenarios that are likely to impact your retirement plan.

‘Elder plastic surgery’ becoming more common Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley Q: I have lost weight and now have more neck skin than ever. I am 76 years young and still have a lot of living to do. I am very healthy, dance regularly and just feel like I should look better. Am I too old for a neck lift? A: Your age of 76 is certainly not a limiting factor in having face-lift or neck-lift surgery. As long as you are healthy and your doctor clears you for surgery, there is no reason not to enjoy the outcome of having your neck wattle removed. It would be fair to say that the result obtained will last you for much of your remain-
ing years. The concept of “elder plastic surgery” is becoming more common as people are living longer and in better health than ever before. There is no age limit in feeling and looking good. Some surgical judgment, however, has to be exercised as to how extensive these procedures should be. It is obviously better to have some improvement done safely than a perfect result that has medical complications. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

Move the needle – simplify Commentary by CJ McClanahan
As I write this message, Facebook has just completed its first day of trading on the NASDAQ and closed $.23 above its opening price of $38. Already there are dozens of “Was Facebook Overhyped” stories flying all over the Internet. Last night, I had a long drive from a client and I listened to more than two hours of sports talk radio. In this time span, I heard at least five different explanations about why Steve Blake, and not Kobe Bryant, took the last shot in the Lakers game. It’s not enough to simply look at each of these issues and say – “Facebook opened on the NASDAQ” or “the Lakers lost.” Unfortunately, with a 24-hour news cycle and hundreds of outlets all competing for attention, the media make everything complex. This applies to all areas of our lives. Simple is no longer acceptable. As a result, when sales begin to slow in business, we assume it’s time for new products, services and marketing strategies. The next thing you know, we’ve added 10 menu items and signed up for a corporate Pinterest account. If these newest additions don’t immediately move the needle, we’ll add some more. It never seems to end. But in business, less is often more. The best example of this philosophy is the Lunch and Learn seminar June 7 – The Noblesville Chamber of Commerce Member Outreach Committee will host its next “Lunch and Learn” seminar June 7. The topic will be “Social Media Trends and Your Business.” Attendees will learn about how to best use social media in their business and the latest ways to enhance marketing with social media. The event will be 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the community room at Taylored Systems in Noblesville. The featured presenters will be Sharon Smith of Maverick Public Relations and Mike and Gabrielle Sauce of Saucepan Creative. Space is limited for the event and the deadline to register is June 4. Cost is $15 for members and $20 for guests. For more information or to reserve your spot, contact the Chamber at 773-0086.

most profitable and valuable company on the planet – Apple. While their competitors continue to add products by the bushel, Apple has chosen to keep it simple. They have five main products (iPad, iPod, iPhone, Mac and iTunes) – that is it. Steve Jobs’ autobiographer, Walter Isaacson, pointed out that Jobs was obsessed with simplicity and believed that, “Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.” We can learn a lot from Jobs’ philosophy. Start by listing and ranking your products and services. Which is the most profitable? Which one generates the most sales? Which one are you the best at delivering? Which one is easiest to sell? Next, ask yourself where you spend the most time. Is it with the products/services that are easy to sell and generate the most profit, or those that barely break even and have a long sales cycle? I’ve done this a handful of times since starting my company nine years ago. Each time, I ended up completely eliminating one of my offerings, which quickly led to less stress and more profit. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Commentary by Tracy Line
I’ve just returned from a travel conference. All in all it was a good trip. I learned about popular destinations, discovered new marketing tips and gained valuable insight on business management. You know what else I learned? Experts sometimes speak in circles. Take my class on client relationships. Our knowledgeable speaker gained my attention when he praised the merits of travel agents. We give personal service, expert knowledge and are a trusted partner when things go wrong. Online travel booking Web sites just can’t compare. He lost me, though, when he stated we should be available 24/7 by having online booking capabilities built into our Web sites. Isn’t this the opposite of personal service? A marketing expert suggested we do whatever it takes to stand out. Go above and beyond, she urged; treat every customer as if he were your only one. Her stance changed the next day during the business-marketing seminar. Here I learned I should focus on my customers with Yankees – Midwesterners sleep better than our friends with southern ZIP codes. Those in the north tend to be disturbed less during sleep according to a new study that maps the sleeping patterns across the country. www.health.com
the largest bookings. I don’t need those other clients; I can redirect them to the Internet. So much for every customer counting! Another speaker talked about the importance of having a unique Web site. It is, he insists, our brand. My Web site is my resume to the world and should give the reader a glimpse of who I am (and a reason to call me over the competition). Later in his talk, the speaker revealed I can take advantage of his Web site hosting services. Here I can get a distinctive Web site with the same up-to-date travel information as about a 1,000 other agents. Doesn’t sound very unique to me …. While I learned many things, this conference gave me one real takeaway. I need to work hard, educate myself and treat each client with the respect they deserve. No expert can argue with that.

Master Gardeners offer greenery to public
Annual Spring Cleaning Sale
By Darla Kinney Scoles • editorial@youarecurrent.com Before the annual sale even started, the line to purchase carefully nurtured plants wrapped around the building at the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds, as residents from Central Indiana came early to get the best picks of this season’s Hamilton County Master Gardeners Plant Sale. Several hours later, as the event was winding down, those still pulling wagonloads of herbs, annuals and trees continued to snap up bargains as sale prices were cut on many varieties. Whether shoppers came early or late, they left with plants that were raised locally and selected to be successful when planted in a local landscape. They also helped finance scholarships for Hamilton County students pursuing horticulture-related degrees as well as ongoing gardening projects county-wide. According to Master Gardener Nancy Ayers, most of the plants available to shoppers were dug from the gardens of other Master Gardeners in the area, and all of the others were young starts purchased wholesale early in the year and then carefully raised by local Master Gardeners to acclimate them. Elise Martin of Indianapolis was visiting the sale for the first time this year, and hoping her wagonload of carefully selected specimens will thrive when planted in her yard. Tal and Jennifer Kirkwood of Fishers are confident they will. The Fishers couple, who had help managing two

wagonloads of new transplants from their three children, Charlie, Maggie and Jack, say they come every year because the plants they buy here do better than those purchased elsewhere. At the end of the day, Master Gardener Suzanne Stevens estimated that 12,000 to 15,000 plants went out the door, enabling the group to offer at least five college scholarships, fund several school grants for outdoor classrooms and grow labs, keep up local show and display gardens and continue the group’s Gardening Hotline (776-0854). Those who missed the event can purchase HCMGA plants at the Annual Hamilton County 4-H Fair and July Day Lily Sale.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: Maintenance / Alimony In Indiana, what was historically referred to as alimony is now termed “spousal maintenance.” Parties going through a divorce should be advised that there are two (2) types of spousal maintenance: (1) temporary spousal maintenance, which may be ordered to be paid by one party during the pendency of the divorce; and (2) spousal maintenance after entry of the final Decree of Dissolution by the court. Temporary maintenance can be ordered by a court at the preliminary hearing or agreed upon by the parties. The purpose of this order is to allow the parties to maintain the “status quo” in order to meet all financial obligations during the pendency of the divorce. When determining whether an award of temporary maintenance is appropriate, courts may consider which party will be living in the marital home with the children during the pendency of the divorce and any discrepancy in the parties’ earnings or income in relation to the existing marital obligations. When appropriate, the court may order one party to pay the other’s obligations, such as the monthly mortgage, utilities on the marital residence, car payment, or minimum monthly payments on credit cards. Post-dissolution spousal maintenance may be ordered to be paid after the court’s entry of the Decree of Dissolution in three (3) circumstances (absent an agreement to the contrary.); (1) if a party is incapacitated due to a physical or mental disability such that they cannot work and support themselves; (2) if a

child of the marriage is disabled and the party taking on primary care and custody of that child will not be able to work to support himself/ herself, and the child due to the caretaking responsibilities which are required; and (3) if “rehabilitative maintenance” is deemed appropriate when one spouse is required to further his/her education or training prior to a re-entry into the workforce due to the fact that their education, training or employment was interrupted for homemaking or child rearing reasons. Under Indiana law, rehabilitative maintenance may only be ordered to be paid for up to a period three (3) years. If you would like to request an award of spousal maintenance, it would be beneficial to speak with attorney who has had experience in such matters given the fact that a spousal maintenance award is extremely fact-sensitive. A maintenance request should be made only when appropriate so as to avoid unnecessary delay in resolving your case, as it could lead to potential conflicts which otherwise can distract the parties from reaching a reasonable settlement. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, maintenance or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Sharp blades, sharp lawn Commentary by Chris Arney Mower blades will dull over time, which can have a negative impact on lawns and lawn mowers. Dull blades require more energy to cut and increase the wear and tear on your lawn mower. Over time, using less-than-sharp blades will begin to impact your lawn as well. Examine the tips of the grass after you cut the lawn. If the ends appear to be jagged or shredded, it’s time to sharpen the blades. A poor cut will cause the plant to recover more slowly, requiring more time, nutrients and water to repair itself. It also gives the end of the leaf a brown appearance and can detract from the overall appearance of the lawn. But remember: safety first! Disconnect the spark plug before working on the blades. Next, using the proper size wrench, loosen the bolt that secures the blade to the deck. Most mowers only have one bolt per blade. You might need
a block of wood to wedge against the blades so that it does not spin. After you have removed the blade, inspect it for damage; blades that are bent or have large divots need to be replaced. If it comes to replacement, I recommend taking the old blade with you to the store to match up the length and size of the bolt hole. Secure the blade in a vise before sharpening. Files and grinders will make short work of a dull edge. Carefully work the edge of the blade. You do not want to actually change the angle of the cutting edge, only make it sharper. Butter-knife sharp is all it takes to make a clean cut. Reinstall the blade and get back to cutting grass. Sharp blades will increase the life of your mower and improve the look of your lawn.

Remodeling Introducing The All-New 2013
LEXUS RX The next chapter of utility vehicles.
New outdoor appreciation Commentary by Larry Greene
Original back patio: This home, located in the Claybridge subdivision on the west side of Carmel, was built in the early 1990s, and the current homeowners are the original owners. They commented, “We had an ugly blue stone patio that had become very dirty. We really never used the back patio and we felt the great views of the water were going to waste. We thought a great deal about the design we wanted, and the designers were very helpful with ideas too.” New gazebo: The new gazebo includes an outdoor TV and motorized retractable screens that raise and lower with a remote control. “Our favorite part of the space is the gazebo. We never realized what we had been missing by not spending any time in our backyard until we had the gazebo built. We have comfortable furniture out there, where we sit and play games together on our iPads. We also had large patio heaters installed so we can use it during the colder weather. It feels like we have added a whole other room to our home.” Deck and patio details: The project included new Timbertech composite decking, custom black aluminum railing, a fire pit and a concrete paver patio with seat walls and a built-in grill. “When we have people over, we sit by the fire 28 | May 29, 2012
pit, which is very enjoyable. I have even had friends over during the cooler days and we enjoy sitting out there.”
TEST DRIVE THE ALL-NEW RX TODAY. With a driver-inspired design, intuitive technology and an innovative approach to performance, the RX not only created the category, it’s redefined it.
Final results: The homeowners noted, “We are very happy to be able to spend time at the back of the house now. We have a very nice backyard, as (we) spend a lot of time with the flowers and landscaping, and we live on a lake. We feel like we can appreciate that area much more now. It is a delight to be out there. We joke that we feel like we are out in the country when we are out there.”
