Couple celebrates anniversary, holiday

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Scott and Ashley Alexander celebrated a portion of their first anniversary the volunteering same way they spent it on their wedding day – volunteering at the Noblesville Fireworks Festival.

“It will always be a day to celebrate. I’m glad we chose that day,” Ashley said.

The Alexanders, who dated for eight years, said they eloped first thing on July 4, 2013 because wedding planning and family expectations were becoming excessive.

“It was a spur of the moment wedding,” Scott said. “We couldn’t wait any more.”

“We didn’t have a big wedding,” Ashley said.

The Alexanders have volunteered at the festival for the past three years. The first two years they assisted youth at the inflatable slide and obstacle course. This year, the couple manned the three-in-arow carnival game.

“It’s more hands-on,” Scott said. “It was a little bit more overwhelming.”

In addition to the free meal and raffle tickets like the other volunteers, the Alexanders received a giant cookie with “Happy anniversary” written in icing from volunteer coordinator Cindy Benedict.

The Alexanders said they attend so many of the community events that they wanted to take it a step farther and get involved.

“We volunteered for one of them to be a part of it,” Ashley said. “We have more fun volunteering than waiting in all the lines.”

Following their wedding, Ashley and Scott Alexander kept their commitment and volunteered at 2013 Noblesville Fireworks Festival. (Submitted photo)

In addition to the Fourth of July, the couple volunteers at their church and Noblesville Parks events.

“We enjoy doing stuff together, whatever it is,” Scott said. “We’re active and volunteering is just one of the things we do.”

“We go to every single one of the Thursday night summer concerts and (Noblesville) Street Dance,” Ashley said.

Scott said his favorite part of the festival is the fireworks show. Ashley said she loves the enjoyment kids have at the event.

“It’s so cool to see all the kids and how excited they were,” she said.

The Noblesville couple said they aren’t sure of their plans next year.

“We may start to make that our day,” Scott said.

Father, son building a future

“I wanted to be able to share a milkshake with my granddaughter again.”

By Lauren Quintanilla lauren@currentinwestfield.com

After my stroke, I had medical issues that made it impossible for me to go directly home. The people at the hospital told me about rehab and therapy available at Westminster Village North. My daughter visited the newly renovated health center and decided it was the place for me.

My private Medicare suite was spacious and comfortable; and the staff really cared about my needs.

My experience with rehabilitation therapy was superb.

The equipment was brand new and the therapists were well-trained and helpful. I was eager to go home, but will always appreciate Westminster Village North.

Now Sophie and I can enjoy that milkshake at my home again.

Making the switch from an employee at someone else’s company to the boss of your own is never an easy thing to do, but now open toss in years of experience, a good business model and family and you have a winning combination.

Adam Taylor has been in the roofing/gutter/ siding business for more than eight years and had come to the decision that he wanted to take his knowledge of the industry and build his own business.

“I love being able to apply what I have learned working in this industry over a number of years and what I have gained in wisdom about the business world from my family to the responsibility of owning my own company. This drives me to go forward with confidence about what we are doing,” he said.

A few years ago, Taylor approached his father, Steve, about the idea. Steve has been in the pharmaceutical industry for more than 33 years before making the jump with his son and opening the business. The pair opened the business and March 1, and never looked back.

“I have great confidence in what we are doing,” said Steve. “My son and I had a similar vision and knew as a team we could do this.”

How to plug in and volunteer Commentary by Cindy Benedict

The last three weeks have been pretty active on the volunteer front in Noblesville. More than 650 volunteers (including Mayor John and Teri Ditslear) helped with our neighbors just three events – SERVE Noblesville, the Fourth of July Parade & Fireworks Festival, and the Noblesville Street Dance. This doesn’t include the hundreds of volunteers who regularly serve every week with nonprofits like Riverview Health, Hamilton County Meals on Wheels, Noblesville Schools, or Prevail, Inc. Clearly, a lot of people volunteer in our community and yet….

Statistics show that we have some room for improvement. On the 2013 Noblesville Citizen Survey, 38 percent of our residents self-reported volunteering at least once that year for some group or activity in Noblesville. We compare very well against national data where 28 percent of all Hoosiers and 31 percent of suburban Hoosiers volunteered at least once in the year. Indiana is ranked 24th in the country on volunteer engagement representing 189.7 million hours of service.

Pretty impressive but it still means that 62 percent of our adults are potential volunteers.

Maybe you’ve thought about helping but weren’t sure how to start. Over the years I’ve developed a quick checklist to help people figure out where to plug in.

• Do you like people, pets, or desks? I find that most of us know if we prefer working with humans, animals, or behind the scenes work at a desk or computer. Deciding this first can eliminate lots of jobs, making it easier to find a great volunteer fit.

• Do you do “hidden” volunteering? Many people help at their church, for a sports team, or at their child’s school. Frequently they don’t count that as volunteering because they don’t think of it that way. Basic rule – if you help an organization outside of your home or work and aren’t paid for it, you are a volunteer. Congratulations.

• These are also great places to start volunteering. Schools, civic groups, faith organizations, and homeowners associations are only as strong as their volunteers, so help them out.

• Check your calendar. Be realistic on what you can do at this stage of your life.

It might be an hour a week, or a three-hour chunk each month, or helping with just one event a year. Be realistic but also step out with whatever you can do.

• Solo or with your family? You’ll need different opportunities if you want to volunteer as a family. Helping in a food pantry is a good family event – just make sure your kids are old enough to last at least an hour and are able to do some light lifting.

Once you’ve narrowed down your preferences, factor in your passions (gardening, mentoring, fun events) and then you can usually just “Google it” to find organizations. However, I’m also available to Noblesville residents to help them noodle through opportunities, so feel free to give me a call.

Volunteers needed for county race

By Terri Spilman • news@currentnoblesville.com Are you a game show fan with a sense of adventure? If so, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation is in need of 100 such volunteers to assist with the upcoming Race event Across Hamilton County taking place on Aug. 23 at four different park sites that include MacGregor Park in Westfield and Founders Park in Carmel.

Inspired by the long-running reality game show The Amazing Race, Race Across Hamilton County pits 60 teams of two contestants against one another in a competition to complete an assortment of various physical and mental challenges for prizes.

The event, which takes a year to plan, is no small feat as it is a joint effort between the parks departments of Fishers, Hamilton County, Noblesville, Washington Township, Carmel, Cicero and Westfield.

Contestant slots were filled within 24 hours of registration in early April, many by past volunteers for the event which is now in its third year.

According to organizers, volunteers are guaranteed to have just as much fun as the competitors because they are an integral part of the action.

“Race Across Hamilton County is one of the most fun things we do all year,” said Amanda Jackson, Special Events Coordinator with Westfield Parks and Recreation.

A volunteer from last year’s Race Across Hamilton County stamps competitors’ passports as they complete a challenge station.

Hamilton County's 10-year 4-H members

10-year members share their experiences in 4-H program

By Navar Watson and Robert Herrington • news@currentnoblesville.com

Kara Moody In her 10 years, Kara Moody has completed more than 200 projects in a wide variety of areas from shooting sports (rifle) to cake decorating to cats. cover story “I love getting to learn all the new stuff,” she said.

“Every once in a while I try a new one that interests me.”

During her time, Moody completed projects in photography, arts and crafts and microwave all 10 years. She completed scrapbooking and shooting Moody sports for nine years each.

“The project I enjoyed the most was rifle because it gave me the opportunity to go out and shoot guns, which I would never do without 4-H. It’s always a lot of fun to go out to the range,” she said.

Moody, daughter of Keith and Beth Moody, is a 10-year member of the Noblesville H & H 4-H Club. She also serves as a Junior Leader which she enjoys because of the interaction with younger 4-H’ers.

“4-H has impacted my life a lot. I’ve met some pretty amazing people,” Moody said, adding she also has learned leadership and organization skills and the importance of being prepared.

Moody said her lasting 4-H memory was showing her pet in the cat show and winning grand champion.

“It was amazing, a shock. I never thought I would win an animal award at the fair,” she said.

Moody said her best advice to younger 4-H’ers is “Don’t procrastinate on your projects” and her favorite fair food is vanilla milkshakes.

“What I’m looking forward to the most at this year’s fair is the 4-H Queen Pageant and getting to see all the projects and people at the fair.”

Moody will attend IUPUI in the fall studying elementary education.

Madison McFadden Getting involved in every extracurricular activity she could, Noblesville resident Madison McFadden said it “took me a while to find my niche.”

At the Hamilton County 4-H Fair, however, she found people sharing her interests. Joining the program in third grade, McFadden is celebrating her 10th year of membership this summer.

In her 10 years, she managed to preside over two different clubs and win third runner-up at last year’s 4-H Queen Court.

“All [the] younger kids looked up to me as a role model, and that was just really cool,” McFadden said. “When I was in third or fourth grade, my role model was the girl who was president of the same club I was in.”

She said this mentor relationship is one of the key parts of the 4-H program.

This year McFadden will be exhibiting a llama project, poultry project and photography project, as well as giving a speech. She will also be a 4-H Junior Leader.

Her involvement with 4-H helped “shape my future,” she said, as she plans to study animal science at Purdue University in the fall.

Aside from that, 4-H has also improved her skills in leadership, responsibility, time management, public speaking and collaboration.

McFadden said she will miss her time involved in 4-H, specifically the feeling she gets looking at her accomplishments and seeing her hard work paid off. She said she will continue visiting the fair in the future.

“Being a member of Hamilton County, we’re blessed to have such

In addition to being a part of the llama project with her animal, Saxony, Madison McFadden also served as the Llama Trekkers 4-H Club president during her tenure. (Submitted photo)

a wonderful fairgrounds,” McFadden said.

McFadden said the fair’s lack of thrill rides is an advantage, making it more focused on the animals and students’ accomplishments.

She believes it should stay this way.

“Our fair is very friendly to the community,” she said. “I think that’s why we have such a huge [participation] rate and why so many people keep coming back.”

4-H Fair: Food, fun, projects and lots of animals

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The fun begins Thursday as the 2014 Hamilton County 4-H Fair officially opens to the public and runs through July 22.. As the days click away prior to the start, 4-H projects are event being judged and displayed inside various buildings and the approximate 1,700 livestock animals that will call the 4-H fairgrounds home for the next few days will move in Wednesday.

There is no charge for admission or parking at the 4-H Fair, and most activities are provided free of charge.

Hamilton County 4-H Youth Development Leader Kathleen Bohde said projects from the 2,000 4-H’ers will be on display to the community – showcasBohde ing the work and knowledge gained by participants.

“I see the fair is like the final exam,” Bohde said.

“The fair is a way the 4-H’ers get to showcase what they’ve accomplished throughout the year.

It’s also an opportunity for the public to learn about the projects. The kids love to share the information – these are experts on the projects.”

Hamilton County has added one new project this year – creative writing. Bohde said the project has more than 90 4-H’ers participating.

“That is huge for a first-year project. We thought 10 to 15 would be a success for a pilot year to get our feet wet,” she said, adding the projects includes a variety of writing styles including short story, poetry, comic book, microfiction (50 words or less) and children’s story.

“There was a demand to give youth an opportunity to expand their writing skills.”

Hamilton County Purdue Extension officials estimate between 15,000 and 20,000 people will attend this year’s fair. Because the fair does not charge admission, officials say they have no way of knowing the exact attendance at each year.

“Weather affects attendance the most – if it is extremely hot or stormy,” said Hamilton County Purdue Extension Director Susan Peterson. “We get a great Peterson feel where our attendance is based on food sales and trash. We have the same

food vendors who keep accurate records and can tell us year-to-year where we are at.”

Special events for the 2014 4-H Fair include puppet shows (noon and 2 p.m. July 19), Ballerina’s Academy of Dance (1 p.m. July 18), Demolition Derby (6 p.m. July 20), Street Dance (8 p.m. July 21) and a blood drive sponsored by the Hamilton County 4-H Council and the Indiana Blood Center (3 to 7 p.m. July 18). Blood drive participants will receive special discounts for fair food. Live music will be provided by Cooke and Belle (7 p.m. July 18), Rusty Bladen (6:30 and 8:15 p.m.) and Jeremy Morris & Harvest Road Band (2 p.m. July 20).

A cake reception to honor the 100th anniversary of President Woodrow Wilson establishing extension nationwide will be held at 6:30 p.m.

July 17 in the Exhibition Center. Peterson said historical items and photos from Hamilton County will be on display at the celebration.

The fair isn’t just for 4-H’ers.

In addition to the food, animals, projects and various events, the community has several opportunities to showcase their talents. Open events for the public to participate include the Pet Parade, homemade ice cream contest, ice cream eating contest, youth talent contest, youth and adult tractor pulls and the Farmer Olympics.

“In my 25 fairs, one of the things we hear annually is it is such a positive atmosphere for families of all ages. It’s the promotion of the family,” Peterson said. “It’s really not about a ribbon

IBC to host blood drive at fair - Fairgoers can give blood during their visit to the Hamilton County 4-H Fair on Friday, July 18. The Indiana Blood Center’s Mobile Unit will be open from 3 to 7 p.m. north of the Swine Barn. Donors will receive a voucher for a free milkshake courtesy of Hamilton County Farm Bureau, Inc. and a ticket to upgrade a meal in the Hamilton County Producers Tent to use any time during the 2014 4-H Fair, along with other incentives provided by the Indiana Blood Center. IBC is the agency through which lifesaving blood and blood components are supplied to over 60 member hospitals throughout central and southern Indiana. IBC provides vital assistance to modern medicine through other related services including specialized blood typing for organ transplants, viral marker testing, tissue banks and the National Marrow Donor Program.

Help 4-H’ers feed the hungry - Hamilton County residents can join the Hamilton County 4-H Program and Good Samaritan Network in the 10th annual “4-H CAN Make a Difference” food drive in conjunction with the Hamilton County 4-H Fair. The public is encouraged to bring nonperishable food items such as canned soup, vegetables, beans, peanut butter, pasta, cereal/oatmeal, powdered milk, and rice to the fair. The food banks strive to acquire nutritious food for low-income families and individuals in our community.

Drop off items in Exhibition Center Hall B during the 4-H Fair July 17 through 22.

they get – it’s fun and exciting, but it’s about the project, goat or pig that they are proud of what they brought to the fair.”

Peterson said like last year, swine will move-in on July 18 and non-auction animals will leave on July 20. The decision was a proactive one to prevent the potential of swine flu or other diseases from spreading.

“The incubation time is shorter,” she said. “It’s a precautionary move which was viewed very positively last year by the state board of health.”

A more colorful fun run

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County 4-H Fair will be a little greener this year – literally – as residents are invited to participate in the inaugural one-mile “Color Me Green” Fun Run on diversion July 21.

Registration will begin at 11 a.m. in front of the commercial tent and the onemile run will start at 11:30 a.m. Cost to participate is $10. Proceeds from the event will go to the Hamilton County 4-H Scholarship Fund.

“It’s just about fun and getting families active together. It celebrates the 4-H Fair and having a healthy lifestyle,” Hamilton County 4-H Youth Development Leader Kathleen Bohde said.

Color Me Green is a Purdue Extension/Indiana 4-H Youth Development-sponsored color Bohde run being held across Indiana between March and July. As in other color runs that have become popular across the country, runners will be showered with colored powder at various stations along the run. Bohde said the Color Me Green will be using green dyes for the event.

“One of the mission areas is healthy living. We have a lot of projects around health,” Bohde said.

“The one-mile course is around the fairgrounds. It will all be on our 14 acres in the grassy area.”

The race is untimed and has no winners or prizes so participants can run or walk the course.

“It’s just for fun,” Bohde said. “You can do up to three laps if you enjoy running.”

Registration can be done the day of the event or online at www.extension.purdue.edu/hamilton.

Bohde said the first 50 registered participants will receive either a T-shirt or sunglasses.

White shirts and eyewear are suggested for participants.

“Volunteers and 4-H’ers will be throwing color.

There will be a slip-and-slide area and misting station,” she said. “White T-shirts show the color the best.”

Volunteers will also be collecting canned goods during registration. All goods collected will be donated to a local food pantry.

Pet parade

Youth and their pets can explore their creativity by dressing in costumes to participate in the Hamilton County 4-H Pet Parade on Sunday, July 20. The Pet Parade will be held at 6 p.m. in the Rabbit Tent at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

The Homemade Ice Cream Contreats test will be held at 6:30 p.m. July 19 in the Rabbit Tent on the north side of the Small Animal Barn. The contest is open to all Hamilton County residents. Each team of two to four people will have 40 minutes to make their favorite ice cream recipe.

Prizes will be in youth and adult categories for electric freezer and hand crank freezer.

Participants using recipes with eggs must use cooked eggs, egg substitutes or powdered eggs (or recipes without eggs). Teams must furnish their own supplies and register in the 4-H Office by 10 a.m. July 18.

Hamilton County 4-H Program Assistant Lisa Hanni said electric categories will be brought in this year instead of being made on site like the hand crank ones.

“It’ll be in a better form to be presented to the judges,” Hanni said.

If your family doesn’t make their own ice cream but still loves to eat it, sign up to participate in the inaugural Ice Cream Eating Contest on Saturday, July 19. The contest will be held prior to the Homemade Ice Cream Contest at 6 p.m. “(4-H adult volunteer) Wendy Tidd saw it someplace else and thought it’d be cool to bring it our fair,” Hanni said.

Registration forms for the Ice Cream Eating

Contest are due in the Extension Office by noon July 19. Hanne said there will be three divisions: 9 and younger, 10 to 19 and 20 and older. A drawing will take place from the registration forms and 10 names from each division will be chosen to participate.

“Contestants have six minutes to eat as much as ice cream as they can,” Hanni said. “Prizes will be given for both contests.”

What would a county fair be without food?

There are a lot of options available at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair – some good, some not so healthy, and some you can only get food once a year. Here are a few ways to fuel up at the fair: Extension Homemakers’ specials Those that need a break from the heat or spend all their time at the fair and need a home cooked meal should check out the Extension Homemakers’ Kitchen inside the Exhibition Center, southwest of Hall B. Breakfast is available 8 to 10:30 a.m. with specials available 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Thursday to Sunday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday.

This year’s meal schedule includes: Thursday – spaghetti and breadsticks; Friday – chicken & noodles; Saturday – Swiss Steak; Sunday – beef & noodles; and Monday – ham & beans.

Producers’ Barbecue Outside in the commons area (next to the Small Animal Barn) is the individual species and joint producers’ food. The joint producers barbecue is available 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday to Monday.

Individual species (food products that come from particular animals), which vary each day of the fair, are available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Days in-

clude: dairy (grilled cheese), Thursday; rabbit and poultry, Friday; pork, Saturday; sheep, Sunday; and beef, Monday.

Food tents Fourteen food booths will be located right outside the Hamilton County 4-H Exhibition Center and in the 4-H Commons. Vendors include county 4-H clubs and local churches, organizations and businesses. Each tent will offer something different – milkshakes, candy, fruit slushies, corn on the cob, chicken fingers, elephant ears, gyros, walking tacos, etc. While every vendor can sell water, soda pop can only be purchased in the Junior Leader Soda Shack next to the entrance of the Small Animal Barn.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Step right up, name your park

What’s in a name? Plenty, especially for the coming 6.4-acre park bordered by the east bank of the White River in downtown Noblesville. To that end, the city is asking residents to submit nominations for the amenity that has a working name of West Side Park. The park is an outgrowth of an extensive master plan for public space development immediately west of the historic downtown. Conner, Nixon and Logan streets and Cicero Road will border the new park. The idea of the park is to create a gateway into downtown, effectively causing the White River to become a downtown feature as opposed to a barrier, the city says, adding, there will be a performance venue and event lawn with a capacity of 4,800 people.

“The program also includes space for the community’s farmers market, a festival plaza, a restroom, storage and concessions building, parking, walkways, water play and traditional play features, and public art,” according to the city. “Creating a park with year-round appeal was a primary goal of the master plan. To that end, the design of the Festival Plaza space will accommodate a temporary ice skating rink.”

This is a great idea! Once developed, the park will not only be a year-round destination, but will serve as a stimulus for economic development and a wise use of land. Construction is expected to be completed by November 2015.

As to the naming of the park, your vote counts.

Submit your idea and a brief explanation of your nomination. Submissions may be made in person at the Noblesville Parks & Recreation Department (Forest Park Inn) or online at cityofnoblesville.org. The deadline for submissions is 4 p.m. July 24. Anyone want our suggestion? We thought so. It’s this: Whichever title is chosen, it should be preceded by the name of a corporation or philanthropy willing to pay a substantial sum for lifetime naming rights.

Reunited and it feels so good Commentary by Terry Anker Growing up in rural Indiana, I was fortunate to attend the largest of the several high schools in the surrounding area. Still, it left my graduating class at about 180 kids or so. It seems kind of quaint today with increasing density and urbanization leading to annual matriculation numbers in the many hundreds. But many around the county found themselves part of considerably smaller groups. 75 or 80 per graduating class were not uncommon.

Sometimes, the classes were even smaller. The debate in our fine state about the optimal size for a high school, or even a school corporation, may continue as it has uninterrupted for decades.

Over the years, this column has addressed issues related to access to higher level coursework in countryside secondary schools and the costs associated with maintaining individual buildings, gymnasiums and transportation services for each discrete community. Yet like most of us, I remember my high school years with a

sense of some nostalgia. Sure, there were those moments of teen angst that left me imagining myself a character from “The Breakfast Club.” All in all, I look back on those times fondly and enjoy seeing my former classmates.

This year commemorates a significant anniversary of our class’s completion. The plans were set and the invitations delivered. Unfortunately, news came this week that pathetic responses have reduced the scope of the event. It turns out that many folks have moved on, moved out and are not moved to come back.

While many others run from seeking a connection with old friends. Can we all walk the same path and yet end up in such different places? Can rose-colored glasses filter out the good memories for a few and the bad memories for others?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In New York while riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.

–Elbert Hubbard

I have just had a small taste of the apocalypse, my friends, and I can say with some degree of confidence, the flavor humor leaves much to be desired.

Months ago my husband Doo and I planned a vacation to his family’s lake house in northern Indiana. To help minimize the need for parental involvement, each of our four kids were allowed to invite one friend. Then Doo learned he had to work, so he was out, as was our oldest when his friend also needed to cancel. That left me with six children for four glorious days at a 100-year-old cottage with no competent boat driver. Good times!

The first day went alright, though I may have, sort of, accidentally crashed the aforementioned boat into the pier before I realized it was just too choppy to be on the water.

Oopsy. That night, however, all hell broke loose.

I awoke around midnight to gale-force winds and tornado sirens, followed quickly by a power outage and the realization that my twins had just turned 13. Coincidence? I think not.

Displaying unusual cool-headedness though, I herded short ones downstairs and away from the wall of lake-facing windows, found and distributed flashlights, and calmly wished my new teenagers a happy birthday. After an hour of Pop Tarts and Nintendo-DS playing, we all headed back to bed, confident we’d have electricity by morning.

No dice. On my bike ride (the triathlon is looming!), I found tree branches and power lines down about a half-mile from the house in both directions, with nary a utility truck in sight. Ah well. Amish Day would just be arriving early this week. Only, Amish Day was soon pluralized, and the full extent of not having electricity began to take its toll. In addition to the obvious side effects of a power outage – no television for World Cup action, no way to charge cell phones and DS’s, no refrigeration for recently purchased high-quality frozen custard, and no high-octane coffee to assuage my caffeine addiction – we also had to contend with the unforeseen consequences, namely what happens when the water stops running.

So here’s an LSAT question for you: If seven individuals must utilize only four toilets and each commode can only be flushed once until power is restored, how long before the noxious fumes and general nastiness force the occupants to cut their vacay short and head home? As it turns out, about 36 hours. That’s all we lasted, folks. Not even two days! In the event of the real apocalypse, it won’t be the zombies that do me in (I have teenagers, after all) but the lack of working and hygienic bathroom facilities. Peace out.

Carmel graduate leads festival for fellow film lovers

By Jospeh Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com Carmel graduate Craig Mince is looking forward to another successful year for the Indianapolis International Film Festival, now in his fourth year directing the event. movies Mince has also directed the Indianapolis IMAX Theater since 2009, and he said growing up in Carmel served as one launching point for his love of film.

The original Carmel Theatre, Mince closed and razed in 1984, was where Mince first saw films like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", helping to spark a fascination with the medium.

“I remember going to that theater all the time,” Mince said. “That’s where the whole ‘film as an experience’ thing took off and kind of where my love for movies started.”

With Carmel’s relatively recent move into hosting arts events and incubating arts businesses, it’s been interesting to see the parallel between Mince’s life and his city’s fascination with art, Mince said.

Mince became involved in the Indianapolis International Film Festival after former member Brian Owens stepped down. He was initially looking to fill a programming role when he joined the all-volunteer organization, but he eventually took on the directorial role and his helped to shape its current vision.

This festival will feature filmmakers from more than 50 countries.

“This year’s entire lineup is absolutely amazing,” he said. “There are awe-inspiring documentaries that will shake you to the core and lighthearted romantic comedies. Because we don’t have a niche audience that we speak to, there’s a theme that organically comes from the movies being made.

This year’s theme is ‘coming of age.’”

Mince said that the one of the festival’s main draws is the ability to see rare films that won’t be publicly available for months or even years.

“These are films that will never pass through Indy theatrically,” he said. “Arthouse films, with the dynamic of distribution, will fly under the radar.

It’s a really neat way to see these movies with like-minded individuals, and a fun opportunity to interact with the filmmakers. A big chunk of the filmmakers that made these films come to Indy to see the audience’s reaction.”

The Indy Film Fest recently achieved its Kickstarter fundraising goal of $8,000, which helps to create even more opportunities for fans and creators to rub elbows by funding hotel rooms for the filmmakers.

The festival runs July 17 through 26.

Five must-see films at Indianapolis International Film Festival Commentary by Christopher Lloyd

“I, Origins” – The festival’s opening night film is a mind-tripping doozy from writer/director Mike Cahill, who made “Another Earth” a few years back. Michael Pitt plays a molecular biologist who thinks he’s found the answer to the mysteries of the cosmos in his lover’s eyes. Think “Inception” meets “The Tree of Life.” (July 17) “Life After Beth” – The end of the festival offers a stark contrast to the beginning: the closing night film is a zombie romantic comedy featuring rising stars Dane DeHaan (“Chronicle”) and Aubrey Plaza (“Parks and Recreation”). Teenage romance blooms until Beth dies tragically … but then, miraculously, she comes back! And this time not only is she hungry for love, but also human flesh. Co-starring John C. Reilly and Anna Kendrick. (July 26) “Bluebird” – This bleak, mournful drama set in frigid Maine features Amy Morton as a school bus driver who makes a terrible mistake that imperils the life of a small boy and the stability of her entire family.

Reminiscent of “Winter’s Bone.” The powerhouse cast includes John Slattery (“Mad Men”), Margo Martindale (“August: Osage County”), Adam Driver (“Girls”), Louisa Krause and Emily Meade. (July 24 and 26) “Tu Seras un Homme (You’ll Be a Man)” – A tender coming-ofage dramedy, this French film examines the growing friendship between a shy 10-year-old boy and the troublemaker 20-year-old who walks into his life and nudges him out of his shell. Heartwarming, funny and off-beat. (July 20 and 25) “Point and Shoot” – This fascinating documentary follows the harrowing real-life adventures of filmmaker/journalist Matthew VanDyke, who decided to go on a post-grad school motorcycle jaunt through the Arab countries for “a crash course in manhood.”

Instead, he found himself a front-lines combatant in the Libyan revolution of 2011. Eventually he is captured and held in solitary confinement for six months. (July 21 and 26)

Christopher Lloyd is a Carmel-based award-winning film critic with a bachelor’s degree in cinema from New York University and a master’s from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.

Take a trip to ’60s with ‘Beehive’

By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com

The sounds of the 1960s will ring in your ears and memories from that transformational decade will likely resurface when the theatre musical “Beehive” is presented at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheatre in Fishers on July 19.

The musical is a high-energy tribute to '60s girl bands, complete with performances of “R.E.S.P.E.C.T.” by Aretha Franklin and “Where the Boys Are” by Connie Francis, “Beehive” tells the story of five women reminiscing about their time together as singers, imitating the various groups of the time.

It will also be the first performance by new Fishers theatre company, the Nickel Plate Players.

“I wanted to do the show because it kind of covers the women’s movement, and I think that’s an important aspect to show,” said Ashton Wolf, director of “Beehive” and executive director of the Nickel Plate Players.

“Beehive” will be the first production to come from the work of Fishers residents.

“We have a really talented group of people, and a responsible cast, which is awesome in an unpaid production,” said Carrie Barnthouse, an actor and assistant choreographer.

The company currently rehearses at the Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy in Fishers, which also is one of seven sponsors. Despite developing the show in the modest school, located in a commercial

park off of 126th Street, the production relies on the enthusiasm of community members.

“There’s so many people over here now that I think having something new right in the vicinity kind of attracted them,” said Sandy Thorne, an actress and “Beehive” co-producer. “It seems like it’s easier to get the girls interested in it, but these fantastic voices showed up. Even people usually behind the scenes, it’s not much fun, people came to us saying ‘I love what you’re doing. How can I get involved?’”

The ultimate goal of the Nickel Plate Players is to establish a permanent home for community produced theatre.

Ways to stay healthy at the gym

FREE MEDICARE CLASS

From the IU Strength blog In 2006, defensive lineman Brandon Noble almost lost a leg because of an infection from methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which can spread wellness through locker room contact.

Locker rooms are one of the most overlooked health risks for high school, college and even professional athletes, not to mention fitness enthusiasts who use public or private gyms.

Good locker room habits lower the risk of infections that pass from one person to the next, according to Tavio Henson, a strength and conditioning coach at IU Health Sports Performance.

Henson has been convinced of that since his college microbiology class.

“We cultured things like barbells, dumbbells and other training equipment,” he says. “It was pretty gross to learn all the things that popped up in that petri dish.”

Henson offers tips to prevent the spread of infectious diseases with safe practices at the gym.

Shower and wash your hands. Ideally, everyone should shower immediately after working out. When that’s not possible, Henson says you should thoroughly wash your face and hands all the way up to the elbows until you can get to a shower. Use your own soap and never share.

He also encourages clients to wear gloves when working out with weights — and wash the

gloves immediately after they are used.

Sanitize equipment before and after you use it. “Clean up after yourself, especially on cardio machines,” Henson says. If necessary, take your own towels and/or anti-bacterial solution or wipes.

Don’t leave dirty laundry lying around.

“When I was playing college football, we were encouraged to take our laundry home and wash it as soon as possible,” Henson says. Athletes who use equipment (think football) should clean it at least once a week.

Wear flip-flops in locker and shower areas. Buy throw-aways or wash and sanitize them after each use. Locker room floors and showers are loaded with fungi looking for a foot where they can hitch a ride.

Hold teammates accountable. “In college, we called each other down when someone didn’t throw dirty towels where they needed to be,” says Henson. “Accountability helps everyone do the right thing.”

Expect schools, gyms and clubs to follow good sanitation practices. “Any facility where people train needs to be committed to excellence in this area,” says Henson. When a janitorial staff thinks they’ve done enough, sometimes they’re only getting started. How much is enough? Locker rooms should be cleaned and sanitized before, during and after use.

Divorce can cloud financial future Commentary by Joel Harris

Divorce is undoubtedly one of the most challenging and difficult experiences a person can face in their lifetime. finance With divorce comes an array of emotions, new responsibilities and a realization that you need to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and tackle the world alone.

With so many questions still up in the air, one aspect of your life that you should make sure you’re in control of is your finances.

Here’s a checklist of things to think about to help you pick up the pieces after a divorce: Estate planning One of the most overlooked aspects after a divorce is estate planning. People often forget to update the beneficiaries of their retirement accounts and life insurance policies. If your beneficiary forms are not changed, your ex-spouse may inherit a large portion of your assets in the event of your passing.

Furthermore, seriously consider executing a new will or trust to prevent your former spouse from controlling the assets you want to leave to your children, grandchildren or a charity.

Retirement planning With a divorce comes along a lot of unanswered questions about retirement planning.

While you were married, your ex-spouse may have controlled the household budget, investments, life insurance policies and liabilities. Now all these responsibilities have been placed on your shoulders and it can be quite daunting to figure out where to start.

Take your time to itemize your assets and liabilities after a divorce is finalized. Secondly, create a working budget around your new household income to make sure you get a handle of what’s coming in versus what’s going out.

This may take some time and effort, but it will help you sleep better at night in the long run.

If you’re inheriting an interest from your exspouse as part of a divorce, it is really important the transfer is done properly to avoid unnecessary taxes and penalties. Make sure you work with a competent financial professional to ensure the titling and transfer of assets is done in accordance with IRS regulations.

Insurance planning

You should re-examine your life insurance, long term care and health insurance policies to make sure they meet your needs moving forward. Long term care insurance is especially important to review for women because they typically live longer than men and usually require more care in their latter years of life. Additionally, if your former spouse carried the health insurance, you may need to look at the private market for new coverage for you and any dependents.

College planning for your children If your divorce decree requires you to contribute funds to pay for your children’s college education, look into accounts like 529 college savings plans to help you get started. Start with a systematic deposit program to set aside specific funds to help pay future education costs.

Joint liabilities It is imperative to understand the potential joint credit and liabilities you may have with your spouse before the marriage ends. Attaining your credit report early on in the divorce process will help you identify what joint liabilities you have with your soon to be ex-spouse. Not only is this important to help sort out the divorce proceedings, but most importantly, it helps you have greater control of your credit score to make sure it isn’t compromised during the negotiations.

Once the divorce is finalized, be sure you check your credit report again to ensure you are not financially attached to your former spouse.

Social Security Planning If your marriage lasted more than 10 years and you never remarried, you may be eligible for up to 50 percent of your ex-spouse’s social security benefit at full retirement age. Furthermore, should he or she pass away, you may be eligible for their entire social security benefit under the survivor’s benefit provision.

It is important to understand the nuances of social security before you elect your benefits, such as the income limits that could potentially reduce your benefits if you elect to take your social security early.

Eighteenth-century Bullring in Ronda, Spain (Photo by Don Knebel)

Ronda’s wings and rings

Commentary by Don Knebel

Ronda, a picturesque city in southern Spain, was once famous as the home of the first person to attempt to fly. Ronda is famous today as the home of the family that Travel invented modern bullfighting.

Ronda, founded by Romans in the third century B.C., sits on a plateau split by a nearly 400 feet deep canyon carved by the Guadalevin River. When Muslims from North Africa conquered southern Spain in 711 A.D., Ronda became an important center of Islamic culture and learning. Abbas Ibn Firnas, one of the great polymaths of Islam’s Golden Age, was born in Ronda in 810. Among his inventions were corrective lenses, a method for cutting rock crystal, a water clock and a metronome to time his music.

At age 65, he strapped feather-covered wings on his back and flew from a Cordoba mountain to a jarring, but otherwise safe, landing below.

Protected by its strategic location, Ronda was not captured by Christian forces of the Reconquista until 1485. Its illustrious Islamic past was then forgotten as Muslims were driven from Spain. Modern Ronda visitors are not told about Abbas Ibn Firnas, but instead learn of Pedro

Romero, a Ronda bullfighter who popularized his grandfather’s novel idea of fighting bulls on foot using a gracefully maneuvered cape to conceal a sword for dispatching the bulls. Bullfighters previously killed from horseback, reflecting the hunting games from which bullfighting was apparently derived. Every September, the rich and famous come to Ronda for a week-long festival honoring Pedro Romero, who killed 5,600 bulls, and Francisco de la Goya, who painted bullfighters and designed Romero’s colorful outfits. Ronda’s 18th-century bullring, flanked by a statue of a bull poised to charge, now includes a museum of bullfighting. Nearby restaurants feature bull’s tail, an acquired taste.

For his bullfighting exploits, Pedro Romero is honored by a statue in a Ronda park. For his frequent visits to Ronda’s bullfights, Orson Welles is honored in a Ronda street name. For being the first man to fly, Abbas Ibn Firnas, forgotten in Ronda, is honored with his name on a crater on the moon.

Redesign a kitchen or bathroom on a budget Commentary by David Decker Planning a home remodel can sometimes be an overwhelming process. With all of the potential upgrades to consider, it’s no indoors wonder that the costs can seem like they add up quickly. But it’s important to remember that a redesign project can be as extensive as you make it. With careful planning, you can transform your kitchen or bathroom, even if you are following a strict budget. For the savvy shopper who is determined to upgrade your kitchen or bathroom space on a budget, here are a few tips that can help you make a change without breaking the bank.

Appliances and fixtures: Old appliances can really date the look of your kitchen. Despite the popular myth, all of your appliances don’t have to necessarily match. You can update one appliance at a time, provided that you find a model that coordinates somehow with the others.

Often matching the handles is the easiest way to add continuity between different appliances. If stainless steel is out of your price range, you can often find black or white colored appliances for much cheaper. Additionally, new sink fixtures can make a world of difference. Update your faucets or sink basins for a high impact update in either the kitchen or the bathroom.

Resurface the cabinetry: Cabinetry endures quite a bit of wear and tear over the years, especially in the kitchen or bathroom. The fluctuating

temperatures, moisture and leftover messes can cause damage that washing and resurfacing the cabinets could easily repair. You could try to cut costs by resurfacing the cabinets yourself, or consult a professional to help you complete the work. You could also try swapping out your existing hardware and drawer pulls for new ones.

Lighting: Lighting is an essential decorative element, especially in the home. Proper lighting

makes color more vibrant, while drastically affecting the energy of the room. Softer lighting will create a more elegant feel while bright lighting will make the room cheerful and inviting. Replace your old sconces or hanging fixtures with new ones that feature a different style. Make sure all of the lighting fixtures fit together cohesively to tie everything together into a complete look.

New décor: Start with the basics, such as a new table or chairs set in the kitchen, or a different towel rack set in the bathroom. Decide whether your curtains, blinds and window decorations could benefit from an update. If you are redesigning on a tight budget, focus on the small details.

Try changing out little touches such as display dishes, framed pictures or potted plants to make a big difference in the overall look of the room.

The good news is about redesigning a space is that a few simple changes can completely reinvent the look of the room. If you’re on a tight budget, survey the room and prioritize the areas that really need the most work. See for yourself that a tight budget doesn’t have to keep you from creating a vibrant and user-friendly kitchen or bathroom space.
