Riverfront district gets liquor
By Navar Watson • news@currentnoblesville.com Noblesville residents soon won’t have to trek to Hamilton Town Center to get a margarita, now that downtown restauPUBLIC SAFETY rants can apply for liquor licenses cheaper than ever before. The Common Council established a Riverfront Redevelopment District June 9, and now the area has an unlimited number of three-way liquor licenses from the state. The state distributes liquor licenses Owens based on population numbers, and the creation of a district allows for an unlimited amount. Several downtown restaurants own two-way licenses, allowing the sale of beer and wine, but the three-way license includes beer, wine and liquor. Despite the unlimited number from the state, the Common Council decided to cap off the number of three-way licenses at 10. Chris Owens, director of Main Street Noblesville, said limiting the number is “probably a pretty direct effort to make sure that we won’t become something we’re not.” “I don’t think the city intends for us to be a bar destination area,” Owens said. “It’s more tourism centric.” Five restaurants within the Riverfront District already hold three-way licenses, which they had to purchase through the open market. This method can cost a business owner tens of thousands of dollars. The district licenses, however, cost $1,000 –
the state permit fee. Once a business decides to apply, the city must provide a letter of support from the mayor. There are no additional fees. Alaina Shonkwiler, city economic development specialist, said this will benefit smaller businesses that can’t compete with chain restaurants in the open market, like those at Hamilton Town Center. “[Chain restaurants] have the funds usually to compete for those open market three-way liquor licenses,” Shonkwiler said. “This will help minimize the barrier for the mom-andpop restaurants that we’re Shonkwiler more inclined to want in our downtown.” The district license, however, comes with one major regulation: it cannot be sold or transferred outside the district. Noblesville submitted its first liquor license application near the start of the month. Shonkwiler estimated the district would have six businesses with new three-way licenses by mid-2016. Some establishments, like Courtney’s Kitchen, are upgrading from a two-way to a three-way in order to serve margaritas and other alcoholic beverages at breakfast. Owens said he thinks this development will be complimentary to downtown Noblesville, opening up the potential for more dining options with the completion of the Federal Hill Commons project. “What [this] really does is just allow us to add restaurants,” Shonkwiler said. “We’re not trying to add bars where they’re not serving food or adding entertainment and cultural experience to the district. The goal is to enhance the district with restaurants.”

Currently, 296 players fundraiser are participating to raise money for the Humane Society for Hamilton County. Jennifer Arvin, director of marketing for Meyer Najem, said they hope to bring in more than $40,000. “We’ve never done an animal-based not-forprofit for our fundraiser before, so this year we thought we would be different,” she said. “A lot of people in the philanthropy group are animal lovers.” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness will be one of the honorary chairs at the event. The other honorary chair? A dog named Gracie from the Humane Society. Gracie was hit by a car, and when the previous owners didn’t take action, she became paralyzed in her back legs. She uses a cart to get around, and a video will be shown about her life. “As a year-round supporter of the Humane Society for Hamilton County, this was our chance to give back to a group that does so much for our community.” Arvin said

Grace Church to host Global Leadership Summit By Michelle Williams news@currentnoblesville.com On August 6 and 7, Grace Church in Noblesville will serve as a premier host site for the Global Leadership Summit. The GLS faith is organized by the Willow Creek Association and will be streamed live from South Barrington, Ill. to hundreds of churches globally this year. “Out of the 375 plus host sites, we‘re the largest right now,” said Aaron Elliott, the church’s senior director of partner development. The church typically boasts attendance in the top three each year. “[The faculty] is somewhat global, and it‘s world class. The folks they get are relevant they‘re qualified.

The 24th annual Street Dance, organized by Noblesville Main Street and presented by Riverview Health and the award City of Noblesville, was indeed a night to remember. Record crowds packed the downtown square to enjoy the Kids Zone, Marketplace, Business Showcase, food vendors and a variety of entertainment. Karaoke with The Bishops was a crowd favorite and each finalist, Josh Rodkey and Kristen Moore, brought a strong contingent of supporters to hear them sing live. Moore opened the competition with “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town and Rodkey followed, performing “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. The crowd was asked to vote via applause. Kristen was crowned the winner and awarded a cash prize of $100. One entry in the annual car show took home two of the three top honors. Ken Mushen’s 1969 Chevrolet El Camino caught the mayor’s eye leading to the Mayor’s Choice award. Ken’s entry also won the public’s approval garnering him the People’s Choice award. The Best in Show award went to Bert Souder and his 1953 Ford F-100.

Noblesville Schools curriculum leaders embrace new student assessments
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Among the many changes and additions in Noblesville Schools in the 2015-16 school year, one change clearly stands out for Annetta Petty, the district’s executive director of cover story learning. The district is adding a new student assessment tool with Northwest Evaluation Association testing for kindergarten through eighth grade to provide more accurate, timely and thorough student progress data so teachers can better tailor individual instruction. Petty said ISTEP will continue, but those spring results aren’t returning until October. “It’s useful information but more programmatic and not for individual students,” she said. The NWEA testing is adaptive, starting out with the students getting a question on their grade level. “If you answer that right, you get a slightly harder one, and that goes on,” Petty said. “ISTEP measures if the student makes the baseline. This one doesn’t have a ceiling, so it is much more tailored to the individual student. It also will be more frequent. The feedback is immediate and there are associated tutorial units and other kinds of interventions when there are certain areas that are identified as needing attention on the student’s part. “We’re really looking forward to having that kind of data and having some consistent data over time so we can see how students are developing and compare them. It’s individual by student so it provides the information that we need to intervene with individual students, whereas with ISTEP, we’ll get the real broad-brush results. That might tell me something as a curriculum director that (for example) geometry scores are consistently low among elementary students so we need to look at that. But that NWEA data is more precise.” Petty also is excited about the enhanced elementary literacy curriculum. “They have focused on writing units specifically,” she said. “There are implications for reading as well. It’s the latest phase of understanding of how students learn to write and therefore how teachers need to approach the teaching of literacy through the writing.”

Key habits: Stephen Covey’s Eight Habits of Highly Effective People are being integrated into the learning process at Promise Road Elementary. The habit street signs will be posted along the school’s parking area. “They teachers talk about why they are effective and why they are valuable,” Petty said. The habits are: 1. Be proactive; 2. Begin with the end in mind; 3. Put first things first; 4. Think win-win; 5. Seek first to understand; 6. Synergize; 7. Sharpen the saw; 8. Find your voice. Stronger background checks: A more extensive background check procedure for school visitors and volunteers will go into effect in August. In the past, visitors to the schools are screened against sex offender registries and a limited background check is performed for volunteers with substantial access to students. The new process identifies three different levels of requirements based on the type of access to students. The new procedures will require more comprehensive checks to be performed on a wider population. These parameters were developed in the interest of balancing the safety needs of children versus cost and convenience for school visitors. The most cost effective and adequately thorough options were selected, according to Marnie Cooke, the district’s director of marketing and communications.
what else is new? The 1:1 (one-to-one) student iPad initiative expanded to fifth graders, making the schools 1:1 in grades 5 through 12. ••• Noble Crossing fourth graders will begin a 1:1 student iPad pilot program. ••• New high school courses in sculpture, theatre, financial algebra, culinary arts and hospitality and fashion and textiles. Petty said it is the first time NHS has had textiles classes in approximately 20 years. ••• Expanded Science Technology Engineering Mathematics, or STEM, curriculum including biomedical, computer science and engineering at the elementary level. The district is one of only a few districts in the nation with Project Lead the Way STEM curriculum implemented K-12. ••• Implementation of Makerspaces K-12 (creative Do-It-Yourself spaces in media centers where students can gather to create, invent and learn using traditional tools, sewing, 3D printers, crafts, electronics, etc.) ••• Increased challenge and coordination in middle/high school advanced curriculums ••• Approximately 40 new teachers and two new assistant principals added (Katherine Reed, Hinkle Creek Elementary and Robert Williamson, Noblesville East Middle School)

Survey provides district feedback Commentary by Supt. Beth Niedermeyer
One of the key goals I’ve focused on since joining Noblesville Schools last year has been developing relationships with the community. I’ve pursued this through my roles on the Chamber of Commerce, Workforce Development Council and Youth Assistance Program boards, my outreach with parent teacher organizations and our school community advisory committee, my attendance at local meetings and functions and through my Table Talk initiative. I hope you know already that Table Talk is an open forum where the public is invited to join me the second Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at Noble Coffee & Tea to discuss questions, suggestions and concerns about Noblesville Schools. I’ve also spent significant time reaching out to school staff and in one-on-one meetings with parents. All of these connections have given me a sense about how people feel Noblesville Schools is performing. However, the discussions I’ve had haven’t touched on all relevant topics or been representative of all citizens in the community. That’s why we’ve decided to launch a com-
munity-wide survey seeking feedback on the district. It’s been more than five years since Noblesville Schools sought this type of comprehensive feedback, and a lot has changed in our district and the Noblesville community during that time. Our desire as a district is to have a clear understanding of expectations on several issues that we will face in the coming years ahead from all of our stakeholders in the community. Feedback from the survey will provide us critical guidance for future strategic planning, communications and budgeting. It’s also important for us to have a deep understanding of the community’s performance and financial expectations of us as our current operating referendum, that covers the shortfall of state funding, draws to a close and we consider a referendum vote next year. The survey will be coming this fall, takes only about 10 minutes to complete and will be available online to Noblesville residents. Dr. Beth Niedermeyer is the superintendent at Noblesville Schools.

Strength in accolades
Commentary by Marnie Cooke
As we kick-off the new school year, I wanted to share some remarkable facts about Noblesville Schools. We’re proud of the hard work our students, teachers, staff and administrators played in making these achievements a reality. We also appreciate the support of the Noblesville community – you are an important part of our success! We will be busy again this year serving our students, and I look forward to more exciting accomplishments to share in the future. Did you know that this past school year: • We were the only district in Hamilton County to receive all As from the Indiana Department of Education. • West Middle, Hinkle Creek and NHS were named 4-star schools, again! • We were one of only a few districts in the nation with Project Lead The Way (science, technology, engineering, math curriculum) implemented K-12. • NHS was named one of the best high schools in the nation (and #6 in the state) in a national ranking. • We avoided over a million dollars in energy costs thanks to our conservation initiatives.
• Other high-performing school districts visited us to learn more about our successes. • We received a Champions Together honor from Special Olympics- one of only 26 schools in the state. • We were rated the best district in Hamilton County for our initial bus fleet safety record. • Our internship program was referred to by WTHR as “ranking top in the state”. • NHS received the national Safe Sports School award, one of only nine schools in Indiana. • We were named by a national association as a Best Community for Music Education, one of only eight in Indiana. • West Middle was chosen by the state to host the Hoosier Student Digital Leader Showcase.

Miller Palooza aims to grow
Back to School Bash July 31
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Each year, Miller Palooza gathers a little more steam. Last year’s main fundraiser for Noblesville Schools Education Foundation raised nearly $20,000. The goal for this year’s fifth annual Miller Palooza, set for Aug. 29 at Purgatory Golf Club, 12160 E. 216th St., Noblesville, is $25,000, said Sharon Trisler, the foundation’s executive director. “It’s been going up a little every year,” she said. The event will begin with a social hour at 5:30 p.m. with dinner and the main event starting at 6 p.m. There will be a fashion show of women’s clothes from A.H. Collection, which has stores in Hamilton Town Center, Downtown Noblesville and Clay Terrace in Carmel, and there will be sprit wear from Miller Backers. In addition, a silent and live auction, raffle and entertainment will take place. “We give grants two times a year to our teachers,” Trisler said. “They have to apply for them. We also use the money for scholarships for seniors who are going to pursue a career in education and also for teachers who are advancing their degree in education.”
Noblesville Schools officials figure a Back to School Bash is a great way to start the new school year. “It’s an opportunity to connect with community,” said Marnie Cooke, director of marketing and communications for Noblesville Schools. Classes begin Aug. 3, and to celebrate, the Back to School Bash will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on July 31 on the courthouse square in Downtown Noblesville. The event is a collaboration between Noblesville Schools and Noblesville Main Street for the second year in a row. “Before that it was a smaller event on school grounds,” Cooke said. “Last year was the first year we made it a community-wide initiative. We had about 3,000 people attend last year. We’re hoping to continue to grow this year. It’s a way for us to celebrate the kickoff of the new (school) year and to share our happenings and message with the community at large.” Dr. Beth Niedermeyer, Noblesville Schools superintendent, will be at the district booth to answer questions and discuss Miller Shift, the district’s unique approach to

Auction items typically include restaurant gift cards, items from the Indianapolis Colts, Indiana Pacers, Indianapolis Indians and gift certificates. The online auction will open in mid-August so patrons are able to bid on items even if they cannot attend the fundraiser. For more information about the foundation, visit noblesvilleschools.org/foundation. Individual tickets for Miller Palooza are $40.

education. Each school in the district will have their own booth with Parent Teacher Organization representatives and school leaders to talk about the school’s activities. There will be a dunk tank, with school principals, a video game trailer and educational technology booth in addition to free school supplies and hot dogs, while supplies last. Food vendors and live music, including a jazz band made up of students and former students, will liven up the event as well. “We have permission to open up the Historical Courthouse and have a student art show in there,” Cooke said. Agape, of Cicero, is bringing horses for children to ride. Cooke said there will be about 20 different community organizations handing out goodies and sharing information. Some high school athletic team members will be out there with equipment so younger students can engage with them, Cooke said. Church Church Hittle & Antrim is the presenting sponsor. Noblesville Lions Club also will be supporting the event by cooking and serving the hot dogs. For more information, visit noblesvilleschools.org or noblesvillemainstreet.org.

Counselors discuss duties By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com School counselors are more than what they seem. Although some may view a counselor as only speaking to a student when they have a problem or occasionally throughout the year, the counselors at Noblesville Schools accomplish that and so much more. Donna Brooks, a counselor at Hinkle Creek Elementary, said at the elementary student level, counselors teach social skills as one of the primary lessons for that age group. “We try to help them manage their emotion, special social skills, and we teach a curriculum that involves teaching students how to focus, listen and manage their own emotions and empathy skills, and complete problem solving,” Brooks said. “We try to be proactive.” Lauri Waldner, a counselor at West Middle School, said counselors continue teaching those skills through middle school years. “As that follows up to the middle school level, we also focus on soft skills through a developmental guidance model,” Waldner said. “A big piece of counseling at the elementary and middle school level is curriculum. Guidance counselors are directly involved with teaching kids in the classroom.”

Some of the developmental aides that continue through middle school years, but began at the elementary level, include active listening, being a team player and communication. “Working together helps build curriculum,” Waldner said. “It’s very purposeful the way we plan things.” Counselors work together so lessons taught at the elementary level will continue through middle school and even high school. Kristen Frank, a Noblesville High School counselor, said some things students learn through counselors from early years stay with them through high school.

An explanation of sorts
FROM THE BACKSHOP Truth to power Trump to prez? Donald Trump, that free-talking candidate for the Republican nomination for president, leads his GOP rivals in polling as of last week. Amazing. This is the same version of The Donald that recently made disgustingly disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants, that has been jettisoned by a number of TV network and commercial enterprises and that claims a perfect candidacy because he’s a “really rich guy.” Apparently, voters want plain speaking. Give him credit on some level, though, because in some ways he has his spine intact. ••• Lest ye believe we only poke at politicians here, consider this woman a candidate for the annual Darwin Awards, which take time out to “honor” the stupid. The woman, a Tennessee resident, has been busted for using counterfeit money. Why did she do it? Because she read an online account that said President Barack Obama declared it legal to do so. He did no such thing. Even better, she faked her $5 and $100 bills by printing them in black and white, and then gluing the fronts and backs together. She was arrested and charged with criminal simulation (simulating a criminal?) and counterfeiting. ’Merica! ••• We took a media tour of the Indianapolis Mormon Temple in Carmel last week, and, not knowing what to expect, we were blown away by its stunningly tasteful beauty.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Dogs are people, too
Commentary by Terry Anker
While it would be fair to say that we like pets in general, we have a preference for the canine variety of domesticated beasts. Millions of Americans invite dogs, cats, gerbils, fish and countless others of God’s creatures into their homes (often sleeping in the same room if not the same bed). At a recent conference on merger and acquisition activity held here in Central Indiana, several of the panelists representing investor groups and investment banks pointed to the growing spending in the pet area. More than increasing quality in food provided for our cohabitants, it seems that we are attentive to the overall quality of life they experience. Clothing, furniture, spas, resorts and countless other products and ideas prove that in spite of what has been a difficult economy, we LOVE our furry friends. Most of us don’t completely buy into the aphorism that “dogs are people, too.” But, it is understandable that we personify them.
Empathy, attention, joy and concern are all on the docket for the routine interaction with a pet. And, they display an amazing array of what can only be called personalities. Some are engaging, extroverted beings that seem happiest when interacting with their human counterparts. Others are shy, introverted animals that appear to prefer a quiet spot in the sun to the chaos of daily family life. Whether demeanor is determined by breeding, socialization or a combination of both has long been debated, and not satisfactorily answered, but can they help us to understand our own interactions with other animals of the human variety? Do we bark at anyone that enters the space we believe to be our own yard? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentnoblesville.com.
Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” – Mark Twain
I received several “hate emails” over a recent column, the one where I was trying to figure out if my 11-year-old had become a brat because of her age or humor because of competitive dance. So because I have at least another year of fishnet hose, glitter lipstick and obnoxious awards ceremonies, I thought it wise to clarify my position before a fellow dance mom shanks me backstage with a mascara wand. [Is the verb shank or shiv? I haven’t started season three of “Orange is the New Black” and my prison lingo is rusty!] For starters, not all “dance people” perpetuate or even tolerate the crazy. My daughter has made wonderful friends and developed the strength, grace and self-confidence of a much older girl in her two short years of training. I would (and have) left her in the care of almost every dance mom on her team and trust their babysitting skills more than my husband’s. Her instructors not only expect, but demand respect, accountability and hard work, and understand that these are the qualities that make a good dancer, not the number of trophies she takes home. If I didn’t love her studio and the quality environment they maintain, she would not be dancing. Period. However, anyone who claims that the world of dance doesn’t have its fair share of drama is either not involved or lying. I have seen mothers yell at their preschoolers while they fought to apply fake eyelashes. I have heard girls belittle their own teammates for falling out of turn. And I have had parents make snide remarks to me for belonging to what they considered a lower-class studio. Costumes cost up to $200 each and solos run $100 per competition. $10,000 a year is definitely not unheard of. Like in all competitive sports, dance attracts a fair number of nut jobs. And most pre-teens are, at one time or another, insufferable brats. My point is, when you marry the two together, you potentially have a recipe for crazy. That’s all I’m saying, so please don’t shank/shiv me next season! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentnoblesville. com.

Students bring ‘Mary Poppins’ to the Summer Stock stage
By Maddie Yerant • news@currentnoblesville.com
This summer, audiences and high school performers alike will get to take a jolly holiday with Mary Poppins and her chimney sweep friend Bert. performance Summer Stock Stage will present “Mary Poppins” at Park Tudor School from July 22-26. The event will be featuring performers from the ages of 13 to 18 from a bevy of local schools, including Carmel, Fishers, Zionsville and Westfield. According to Emily Ristine Holloway, director and Summer Stock founder, she chose the show for its ability to include as many students as possible. “We try to do shows that are a little bit more ambitious than what people typically do in their high schools, and also shows that provide lots of opportunities for multiple leads and large ensembles so that we can include as many students from the community as possible,” Ristine Holloway said. Ambitious is a good word for “Mary Poppins,” a crucial feature of which is having the actors who play magical nanny Mary and lovable chimney sweep Bert fly or walk upside-down,
respectively, across the stage. “Mary Poppins flies, and then Bert also does a proscenium walk where he walks up the side wall, walks upside-down across the top and walks (back) down in ‘Step in Time,’” Ristine Holloway said. “Similar to Peter Pan, Mary Poppins has to have that magical quality, or the story can’t really be told.” According to Elizabeth Hutson, who plays Mary, and Matt Conwell, who plays Bert, flying on stage is just as intimidating as it sounds. For “Step in Time,” Conwell is attached to a metal square of approximately one foot, which is then hooked up to a conveyer belt to move him as he tap dances upside-down across the proscenium. “I cried when she told me I would do it, because I didn’t think it was going to happen,” said Conwell. “It’s scary, but I’m too excited to be that scared.” Hutson said another intimidation factor is finding a way to put her own spin on a beloved character originally played by the likes of legendary actress Julie Andrews. However, Hutson’s history with Summer Stock – she played Anna in last year’s “The King and I” – helped ease her into this new role.
“I felt a lot of pressure last year with Anna, and so this year, it’s kind of relaxed a little more for me,” Hutson said. “I just need that (relaxation), because if you start thinking about it too much, you jazz yourself out.” Conwell said he felt more excitement than pressure at the idea of taking on the character of Bert. “It’s so much fun to play these iconic roles and to put you own spin on it,” Conwell said. “That’s what every actor dreams of, I feel like: to be able to put your mark on something so beloved.” Conwell, Hutson and Ristine Holloway said they’re all excited for audiences to see their hard work come to fruition – especially in tricky dance numbers, including “Step in Time,” “Jolly Holiday” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” “I’m excited for people to see how we spell ‘Supercal’ with our bodies,” Hutson said. “It goes faster and faster and faster. You’re spelling it with your body the whole time. It’s ridiculous.” Overall, Hutson said she can’t wait to take the stage. “It’s really good,” Hutson said. “I’m so excited.” For more information, including how to purchase a ticket, visit www.summerstockstage.com.

Belfry wears ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ By Navar Watson • news@currentnoblesville.com In 1966, Betty Lou Kyle and the recently established Apprentice Players put on “The Emperor’s New Clothes” as their first theatre production. So in honor of its 50th anniversary this year, the Belfry Theatre in Noblesville is producing “The Emperor’s New Clothes” as a tribute to Kyle, one of the theatre’s original founders. Based on the fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen, who also wrote “The Little Mermaid,” this musical centers around a 14-year-old emperor who’s “one screw loose,” as director Connie Murello-Todd describes. The emperor, who values his appearance and clothing above everything else, falls into a scam by two tricky swindlers. The key message is “to not be swayed in your judgment of what you really think is right,” Murello-Todd said, who’s directed 13 shows at the Belfry. The show features 21 actors, ages 5 to 13. But despite the young cast, “The Emperor’s New Clothes” runs like any other theatre production. The two-hour-long musical features a full set, costumes, makeup and a professional pianist. “It’s just like an adult Belfry production, only done with children,” Murello-Todd said. “And these children are so talented.”

‘Smoke’ now on stage
By Jopesh Knoop • news@currentnoblesville.com
It’s October 1945, and the gospel-singing Sanders family is back in “Smoke on the Mountain: Homecoming” at Beef & performance Boards. “Smoke on the Mountain: Homecoming” is set for 46 performances from July 9 through August 16, telling the comedic story of a post-war North Carolinian family’s experiences at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. Reverend Mervin Oglethorpe (played by John Vessels) is called away to preach in Texas, dragging along his eight month pregnant wife June, leaving his church to his son Dennis. Twenty-five bluegrass gospel songs accompany the Sanders’ departure in a series of “anything that can go wrong, will” escapades. Homecoming may come across as a little different than most plays or musicals, being the third installment in the “Smoke on the Mountain” musical series, written by Connie Ray and music by Mike Craver. Audiences won’t have to worry about catching up thanks to the familiarity of actors and their ability to multitask, director Jeff Stockberger said. “We’re lucky in the sense that four of the seven actors have done all three shows before, sometimes multiple times,” Stockberger said. “They’re

able to play all their own instruments. It makes them a sort of triple threat. The more they sound like a real band, the more you believe every word that comes out of their mouth” In this sequel, the audience plays the role of the congregation, and are encouraged to join in the celebration. “It’s interesting to see how we have all aged,” Vessel said. Tickets range from $40 to $65 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet and beverages. For reservations, call Beef & Boards at 872-9664.

Riverview improves cardio wing By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Since June, Riverview Health in Noblesville has offered a resource to heart health that not many other hospitals can update provide. Riverview Health Heart & Vascular added on to the cardiovascular suite of the hospital, installing a new, enhanced cath lab, providing ample space and technology to accommodate surgeons and anesthesiologists in case a cardiovascular procedure turns surgical. A wider variety of procedures also can be performed there. Tammi Nash, clinical operations director at Riverview Health said, “We implemented and brought this lab in just because of the growth in vascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the country. So, we have a very strong cardiac program. The decision on construction began about two years ago with planning stages and site visits at hospitals. Then, last year, Riverview decided which equipment and accessories were necessary. Construction began in December.

On July 9, Mayor John Ditslear attended a personal tour to see the lab and equipment. “It’s a very unique situation,” he said. “Riverview Health has done a great job here, and it’s something to be proud of. It’s a step forward here for modern technology.” “This technology is not in any other lab in the Indianapolis area, it allows us to do complex procedures that other hospitals can’t do,” said Angie Bolinger, manager of cardiology at Riverview Health. “We are being used as a model so other people can come and see the design of our lab.”

F.C. Tucker Company reported more than 16,000 pended home sales in the first half of the year, resulting in a real estate year-to-date increase of 8.8 percent compared to this time last year. Year-to-date sales prices also increased nearly 5 percent. The average year-to-date sales price for a home in the nine-county area was $182,627. June 2015 pended home sales, however, slipped 4.8 percent compared to June 2014. F.C. Tucker reported 2,806 homes sold, a modest decline of 143 homes. Five of the nine Central Indiana counties reported decreased sales compared to June 2014. In June, Shelby County home sales surged 25.6 percent, raising the number of pended home sales to 54 from 43 in June 2014. Madison County saw an increase of 10.3 percent, while Hendricks and Hancock counties both experienced increases of 3.7 percent compared to June 2014. Johnson County saw the biggest decline, decreasing 17.3 percent compared to June of last year. “Though conditions tilt toward a seller’s market, there are still great opportunities for buyers to find an array of houses at various price points,” said Jim Litten, president of F.C. Tucker Company. “Buyers are noticing inventory moving at a slightly faster pace, selling five days quicker year to date than in 2014.” Available homes for sale in the nine-county
region decreased 6 percent in June 2015 with 11,285 homes on the market, 715 fewer than in June 2014.

Lessons from a Copenhagen Statue
Dispatches
Commentary by Don Knebel “The Little Mermaid” is Copenhagen’s most famous statue. A short walk away, an older and larger statue carries an imtravel portant message. In 1748, King Frederick V of Denmark/Norway ordered redevelopment of a waterfront area near the entrance to Copenhagen’s harbor to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Christian I’s founding of the Oldenburg dynasty. Four mansions, symmetrically arranged around an octagonal court, were to be owned and occupied by important noblemen. One of the mansions was for Count Adam Gottlob Moltke, a close confidant of the king, who supervised the project named “Frederiksstaden.” The mansions, were completed by 1760. In 1752, Count Moltke persuaded the Danish Asiatic Company, of which he was director, to commission a statue of Frederick V on horseback to occupy the center of Frederiksstaden’s courtyard. Moltke engaged French artist Jacques Saly, who brought his family to Copenhagen and began work in 1754. In 1758, after studying the king’s horses, Saly presented the king a small model of the proposed statue, which the king approved. Saly

Visiting the Apple store – If you need help with an Apple device, here’s a hint for visiting the store. Apple employees are empowered to bend the rules regarding warranties, replacements, etc. They are more likely to do so if you are courteous and truthful with them. If you dropped your phone in the toilet, they’ll figure that out when they open it up anyway, so be honest.

It will pry the ring apart and hold it open until you get your new key on. This will prevent damaged fingernails.

then created a life-size bust of the persnickety king to assure that his likeness was also acceptable. By 1764, Saly had completed the plaster cast for the full-size statue, which he rendered in bronze in 1768. After three years of additional work, workers placed the 22-ton statue on its pedestal in 1771. Unfortunately, King Frederick never saw the statue, depicting him as a Roman emperor. Notorious for his bacchanalian orgies, he had died at age 42, five years before its completion. His statue, 17 years aborning, had cost more than the four
palatial buildings surrounding it combined. In 1794, the royal family acquired the Frederiksstaden mansions for its winter residence. Frederick V is still on his horse, reminding his descendants of the importance of budgets and deadlines.
Make soup less salty – There’s nothing more frustrating than over-salting a soup or stew you’ve spent countless hours making. Try adding wedges of raw potato or apple to absorb the salt. Simmer for ten minutes or so, then remove the wedges. If your soup is still too salty, sprinkle in a spoonful of sugar. If that doesn’t work, a dash of apple-cider vinegar may do the trick. Finally, try diluting with water or low-sodium broth. Source: Esquire

Widened Doorway: Removing the desk and replacing with appliances & cabinetry allowed room for a wider doorway and better flow into the dining room.
Priority 2: “Remove the dated bulkheads.”
Priority 4: “Create a clutter-free look with functional storage.”
Priority 3: “The dark cabinets made my small kitchen feel smaller. I wanted my new kitchen to be light & bright”
Old Charm: Oil-Rubbed bronze hardware, pendant lighting, marble countertops and backsplash tile help contribute to the dream vision.
Priority 5: “My dream vision for my new kitchen was to have an old charm look and feel with modern functionalities.” Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may e-mail him at lgreene@caseindy.com. To see more before and after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.
