OUR VIEWS

It is our position that those crossing the Monon, both pedestrians and motorists need to understand the laws in Hamilton County. On the Monon, pedestrians are expected to yield to motorists, not the other way around. The confusion regarding this fact continues to make the trail more dangerous for all involved.

We find, all too often, that either a motorist will stop and incorrectly allow someone to cross the Monon or cyclists or rollerbladers will proceed without waiting for traffic. Whether a motorist or pedestrian, it’s all too dangerous to navigate without a uniform standard. Even with stop signs on many trail intersections, cyclists dart across the roads without looking, often causing drivers to slow down or make an abrupt and dangerous stop – increasing the risk of causing an accident with another driver.

We understand the human factor in motorists wanting to be nice and stopping to let someone advance, but officials argue traffic will flow more smoothly and safely if all follow the same standard. We’re not encouraging drivers to speed through the intersections, but to slow down just enough to be able to stop if absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if everyone follows the rules, all will be secure and efficient.

School zones rule

It is our position that school is back in session so drivers should be mindful of the safety of our children by following school zone-related rules of the road. The wheels on the bus are turning once again, bringing an end to summer’s much-enjoyed lightening of rush hour traffic. Sure, it’s an inconvenience. However, the lives of our children are literally at stake. The start of school means more children on sidewalks, driveways and in crosswalks.

Drivers should always yield to a child because many children don’t fully understand the dangers of traffic - think “Kids Dart.“ Flashing yellow lights in school zones serve as a reminder for drivers to slow down. Whether we like it or not, school buses make frequent stops and are required by law to adhere to lower speed limits. School buses also are required to come to a complete stop at all railroad crossings.

So when you see flashing red lights on a school bus and the stop arm is extended, please stop.

Violators could be fined, face jail time or, even worse, hit a child. Procedures for safe student drop-offs and pick-ups should also be followed in school parking lots. This school year, please keep our kids safe.

COMMENTARY

By Robert Herrington As the new managing editor of Current in Noblesville, I’m looking forward to continuing to serve the community in which I live and love.

I started covering Noblesville and Hamilton County straight out of college, but I’ve been a resident here longer than that.

I’m proud to be a Miller – Class of 1999 – and what I love about Noblesville are the experiences I’ve enjoyed (and continue to take pleasure in) that I can’t wait to share with my newborn daughter, Caroline.

Will she look forward to the fall because of the annual First Friday Soup Cook-off or pumpkin picking at Russell Farms? Will she prefer the sounds of Jazz on the Square or Concerts in the Parks during the summer nights? How tall will the tree be she picks out at Stonycreek Farms in December? (Thankfully, my wife insisted on having a cathedral ceiling in our living room).

I know a smile will be on my face and a camera in my hand as she tastes her first ice cream cone from Alexander’s on the Square, attends her first concert at Verizon Wireless Music Center, enjoys the water park at Dillon Park on a hot summer day and attends and participates in the handful of community parades that stroll though the downtown streets.

I know it is a few years down the line, but what a feeling it will be to watch her play on the fields of Noblesville United Soccer Club where I coached

and slide tackled a few opponents as a player – keep a roster spot open in 16 years Coach Brady.

These are just a few of the numerous activities I look forward to sharing with my wife and daughter during the coming years. I know we all have reasons we live, work and love Noblesville and now the city is introducing a new campaign showcasing those explanations straight from the horse’s mouth.

On the city’s Economic Development website (www.ChooseNoblesville.com), videos feature local business owners explaining why they believe Noblesville is the heart of commerce and culture.

To help demonstrate why Noblesville is the heart of community, the city is announcing the “I Heart Noblesville” community video campaign.

Residents are invited to create a 1 minute video explaining why they love Noblesville.

Videos can be uploaded from now until Sept.

1 at www.DestinationNoblesville.com/IHeartNoblesville. Five finalists will be chosen and links to their videos will be posted on a variety of locations including Facebook and city sites.

The public will then vote for their favorite video and the creators of the top three videos will receive prizes. The winning video will be used on the city’s site.

So long summer, hello year-round school COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson I am so excited I am suffering bladder control issues. School is back in session for my kids and that glorious announcement bears repeating: School started today! Finally. I know summer vacation is only 10 weeks, but man, those are a long-butt two point five months. When I was a child I thought year-round educational programs were the work of evil masterminded adults who hoped to keep minors forever in salt-mine servitude, but as a parent, I’m thinking a little academic slavery might not be such a bad thing.

Let’s consider this possibility. One of my biggest challenges each summer is keeping some semblance of a routine at our house. I don’t know about your heirs, but mine need structure.

They need to have consistent bedtimes and wake times. They need scheduled meals, daily physical activity and social interaction. Otherwise, they quickly become bored and whiney, even if they sneak in seven hours of Wii. However, that’s much easier said than done.

Remember my Summer 2011 Plan? Strict eating and bed times, limited technology interaction, Amish Day? Well, as I probably should have known, some things just work better in theory. Actually, Amish Day and the chore chart were smashing successes, at least for me. The kids would argue differently. But the kitchen schedule, required reading and keeping track of Xbox hours proved to be too challenging with four children; especially,

when I was working for most of June. Three hours on Call of Duty 16 seems like plenty of time, but it really goes by quickly and often Doo and I would pretend we didn’t see the clock because they are so quiet and happy while sniping Nazi’s.

With year-round school, or at least a calendar with small breaks sprinkled throughout the year, I’d only have to worry about surviving July, which would be fairly simple if I throw in a family vacation, maybe a sports camp and a trip to Mamaw’s.

Furthermore, “they” say knowledge retention is greater among students who have fewer large gaps in their school year. They also advise shorter and more frequent vacations can prevent academic burn out. That sounds good to me.

I do worry about teenagers, however. Summer jobs as life guards, nannies, fry cooks and lawn mowers are essential learning experiences for our high school kids. Plus, there is something truly magical about having 70 whole days of sprinklers, lightening bugs and popsicles, with nary a spiral notebook in site. I truly enjoy not fighting the homework battle each and every evening.

I’d had my fill of summer vay-cay by June 20, which is why August couldn’t come soon enough. Peace out!

Putting their best foot forward

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com While the Noblesville High School Marching Millers Indiana State Fair Band Day contest routine is entitled “Simplify,” the music and marching is anything but.

“There is a high level of difficulty in music and drill,” said Band Director Stacey White.

Like every year, learning new music and marching formations are part of the growing process, but this year the band had another obstacle – heat. White said the weather was always in the 90s and joked the students dealt with a “heat index of a pizza oven.”

“We’re trying to get the kids stronger each day. We as the adults had to be smart,” he said. “The kids are really pretty tough. They can handle the heat but can’t handle being dehydration.”

White said the marching band has 120 students in grades 8 through recently graduated seniors for the Band Day contest.

“I’m really happy with all the work and effort they put in the past month,” White said.

This year’s performance was built around a theme of “Simplify” with connections and readings from Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden” to compliment music and choreography.

“The quotes really tie it all in,” White said.

Providing the first voiceover in an NHS routine is incoming junior Danielle Beaver.

Members of the Noblesville High School Marching Millers including incoming freshman Andrew Harp (front trumpet) perform their “Simplify” Indiana State Fair Band Day routine at Hare Chevrolet Field.

“We were looking at the theater department for a person to do it but time got away from us,” explained White. “Danielle’s been very successful with Deb Marcum’s Mock Trial team. She’s stood up in front of people in a courtroom.”

When White asked Beaver if she was comfortable with public speaking she replied with a smile that she was “not shy.”

“The hardest part is catching my breath and making sure I’m confident (when speaking),” said Beaver. “The whole concept of the whole show is amazing and simple.”

In case you missed the Marching Millers Aug. 5 Band Day performance, the routine will be performed during halftime of the Millers first home football game against Fishers High School on Friday, Aug. 19.

Girls on the Run: Much more than running at Noble Crossing editorial@youarecurrent.com Running is only part of the reason a group of 17 girls at Noble Crossing Elementary School found “Girls on the Run” one of their favorite after-school things to do.

Noble Crossing’s Girls on the Run group is one of three that organized in Hamilton County during the organization’s inaugural year in the area. Led by music teacher Jennifer Nicholson, the group met two times a week for 12 weeks.

“Girls on the Run is about the girls being confidant in who they are and capitalizing on their strengths,” Nicholson said.

Girls on the Run is a national organization developed for girls in grades 3-5. It combines exercise, positive reinforcement and encouraging role models to provide girls with the confidence they need during their pre-teen years. Each hour-long lesson combines running and walking games with various life skills.

“It focuses on building self-confidence and making good life choices,” said Nicholson. “It uses running as a learning tool, but its way more than that.”

Reflecting on the experience, Noble Crossing fourth-grader Ellen McCool said Girls on the

Run helped the girls “build more self-confidence and get rid of bad feelings inside of us.”

“We always know we can talk to our peers or to Mrs. Nicholson. If anything’s going on at home, Mrs. Nicholson is there for you – always,” she said.

“It’s not all about talking about our feelings,” added fourth-grader Ella Morgan. “It’s also about building relationships with girls we never knew, building our self esteem, how to avoid bullying, and how to help people.”

Nicholson said the success of the program’s first year at Noble Crossing is evident in the gains the girls made and the friendships that developed.

‘Time just won’

COMMENTARY

By Krista Bocko It’s funny how lines are drawn and dots are connected in unexpected ways, isn’t it? I recently saved a Word document with the title “Time just won’t slow down” and it showed up as the title of this column, “Time just won.”

Huh. This is the constant battle, isn’t it? Don’t we often feel like we’re racing the clock, always under deadline and always running out of time? I know the feeling very well.

It helps me to take a deep breath and try to remember that where I am right now is exactly where I need to be, and to enjoy the journey.

And I do love this journey. I feel like I’m on a path of constant wonder and discovery and I see no end to it. I love this life.

One night last week, we headed downtown to the alley behind Kirk’s Hardware just as it was getting dark. As the light faded from the sky and we commented what a gorgeous night it was, grateful for the lower temps, talented photographer Ernie Mills shot photos of my friend Lynn

Spencer-Nelson and me lighting up the night sky with our LED hoops. Music spilled out from my iPod as we spun our lights around each other, laughing and feeling so comfortable and so completely in our element with our circles of light.

We even drew a little crowd of onlookers, who watched from their apartment window and then came out into the alley.

Time seemed to stand still while the minutes ticked away as though they were seconds. Here we weren’t in a battle against time, but completely immersed in the moment and in complete love with it.

And this is what it’s about, I think: finding a passion and a talent that you love so much that you lose yourself. In the case of Lynn and me – in our hoops – with Ernie behind the lens of his camera, we won.

The etiquette of yard maintenance COMMENTARY

By Brenda Alexander My first dozen or so homes were apartments.

Aside from a sad little flowerpot on a wobbly table on the balcony, my green thumb was rarely utilized, yard work was non-existent.

When we purchased our first home unpacking the garage meant putting a watering can, hand trowel and tiny bottle of Miracle Gro on a shelf.

Instead of the usual post-move trip to Walmart, our first trip was to a garden store.

Our starter home sat on a postage stamp lot, so yard work remained a minor concern.

For weeks, I watched in awe as my neighbor mowed, edged and trimmed her lawn meticulously; culminating in blowing the lawn clippings off her driveway. Then one day she politely requested we refrain from shooting our clippings onto her driveway. Suddenly, we realized more was going on here than simple yard maintenance.

Having a lawn was some sort of gateway into a secret society where the deeper mysteries would only be revealed to those who took yard work seriously. Initiation came in the form of suggestions for increasingly meticulous lawn grooming. Eventually, we became our own lawn police. Where do you think Scotland Yard took its name from?

Soon, my husband was making weekly trips to garden stores. I never saw a fez or coat of

www.youarecurrent.com

arms, but I believe the secret handshake is performed over a picket fence. I never questioned these trips. The lawn seemed to be a fairly innocuous habit. How wrong could I be?

By the time we upgraded to a larger home, the demands of this secret society moved underground. My husband developed a wandering eye – for the neighbors’ lawnmowers. An unspoken code of behavior pre-empted discussing such sensitive processes as watering frequency, herbicide and fertilizer. These sacred subjects could only be discussed with an authorized representative found at Lowe’s.

But we realized a key ingredient was always missing, like a mother-in-law unwilling to share the secret to her son’s culinary happiness. The complete mysteries of this secret society were not yet ours. Neither was an immaculate lawn.

In our current home, we use a lawn service.

My husband and I are mere initiates. But, I had to overcome a compelling urge to ask the neighbor’s son to mow his yard in a contrasting pattern to ours.

Reviving history Tim Fox and other Noblesville business owners helped restore the national U.S.S. Indianapolis memorial

By Kevin Kane kevin@youarecurrent.com Less than two decades old, the national U.S.S. Indianapolis memorial in downtown Indianapolis already was in need of a complete restoration until late July.

According to Tim Fox, Noblesville resident and owner of Meticulous Landscapes, plants around the monument were overgrown, weeds could be found throughout the landscaping and stone walls were loose and “haphazardly” arranged.

But the area surrounding the monument itself wasn’t the only issue. When nearby residents complained of algae growth and dirt on the monument, a pressure washer was used to clean it, stripping paint from letters carved into the stone.

“It was a travesty,” Fox said.

Though out of their typical service area, Fox and a number of local contractors and businesses came together to restore the monument “from the ground up” in a matter of weeks, completing a nearly $30,000 project at no cost to the city.

Weather pushed the physical labor back to after July 4 but much of the group came together in February, when Carmel resident Barry Fairfax and other members of the Indianapolis Radio League told Gen. Stewart Goodwin that IRL would permanently take over maintenance of the monument, including the initial restorative measures that were desperately needed.

“He was surprised anyone would do that because he knew the shape it was in,” Fairfax said. “It was slipping, and slipping fast.”

A team was soon compiled of landscape architects like Diane Cox and Lance Hateli, and when one of Fox’s customers recommended that he joined the team, Fox was asked to come onboard and oversee much of the work.

“I’ve only been in business on my own for eight years, so to be approached to be part of restoring a national monument was pretty flattering,” Fox said. “I never expected to be a part of anything like this.”

about the u.s.s. Indianapolis The world’s first operational atomic bomb was delivered by the Indianapolis, (CA-35) on July 26, 1945. On July 30, 1945, midway between Guam and Leyte Gulf, the ship was hit by two torpedoes fired by a Japanese submarine. Within minutes, the ship went down rapidly, and of the 1,196 aboard, about 900 made it into the water in the 12 minutes before she sank.

Of the 900 who made it into the water, only 317 remained alive. The national memorial was constructed in Indianapolis in 1995, and the group of volunteers who restored it now is responsible for maintaining it in the future.

The budget for the entire project was $0. So in addition to constructing new stone walls, spreading mulch and planting all new vegetation on his own time, Fox also was responsible for utilizing his contacts to get materials for the project. Eventually, everything needed was obtained for free from local businesses, including Brehob Nursery, GreenCycle and Stone Center of Indiana of Noblesville.

Fox’s contributions went beyond his time and energy, though.

When the workload proved too much for the initial volunteers to handle, Fox hired his own employees to work on the project, his business eating the cost to ensure the project was completed as planned.

“A lot of these people didn’t have funerals,” he said. “This memorial is for them and their families.”

A majority of the planting will be done in the next few weeks, but the rest of the project is finished – including the repainting, by hand, of the letters previously stripped by the pressure washing. Fairfax was one of many people who used small artist brushes to paint the 2,574 letters, each taking about two to three minutes, he estimated.

Fox and the other volunteers have been sacrificing many of their weekends for months to get the monument to where it is today. While he said he enjoyed the opportunity to get to know and work alongside people who are his competitors in the business world, Fox said the greatest reward has been the support and gratitude he and the others have received from the families of victims.

“When you volunteer, you feel something pulling on you, like this is supposed to happen,” he said. “I don’t know what it is, but there’s something talking to me, saying ‘This is the way you’re supposed to go.”

COOKING

By Clint Smith With this seemingly unceasing heat wearing out its welcome, it’s safe to assume that toiling in front of the gas grill sounds like torture. So if you’re waving the white flag at the oppressive temperatures, no sweat. Just relax and enjoy this easy recipe in the air conditioning.

If you don’t have the capability to grill on your kitchen range (say with a cast-iron grill pan), you can also pan-sear your fish. Ahi tuna is a firm, steaky fish with a sweet flavor. Sure, you could substitute another firm fish here (like salmon or cod), but tuna is an ideal pairing for this week’s accompaniment. This asparagus salad is one of my favorite dishes because there’s a lot happening here. You have a compelling concoction of asparagus (pungent, bitter), edamame, an immature soybean that provides a nutty element, peas (sweet) and bacon (smoky, salty). Fresh herbs top it off with the contrasting flavors of fresh herbs.

It might be a challenge to round-up fresh edamame, but many markets stock frozen, podded soybeans. Just remember: when using frozen vegetables, don’t overdo it—gently thaw by blanching in hot water and immediately shock in cold water. This will maintain color, texture and nutrients.

Clint Smith is an honors graduate of The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, Le Cordon Bleu, and is currently a culinary arts instructor at Central Nine Career Center in Greenwood. To read more about techniques and recipes, visit www.cookingwithclint.com.

Ahi tuna with asparagus and edamame salad Serves 2 Ingredients • 2 ahi (or yellowfin) tuna steaks • 1 shallot, minced, soaked in 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar • 6-8 ounces asparagus, cut in pieces • To taste, kosher salt and cracked black pepper • 6 ounces podded edamame • As needed, olive oil • 2 slices bacon, cut in thick chunks • 6 ounces fresh shelled peas • ¼ cup chicken stock • 3 tablespoons olive oil • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar • Juice from ½ lemon • Handful fresh tarragon leaves • Handful fresh mint leaves • handful fresh chopped chives Directions 1. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear fish until desired doneness is achieved. Set aside and cover with foil, allowing to rest.

2. Blanch asparagus in boiling water for roughly a minute before plunging in cold water. Repeat process for edamame

and peas. In a wide sauté pan, cook bacon until crisp (you may need to remove a bit of rendered fat afterwards).

Add edamame, peas, pour over stock, bring to simmer. Add asparagus, shallot (drained). Add oil, balsamic, juice, kosher and cracked black pepper. Adjust seasonings. Fold in fresh herbs and serve.

Fees gone wild

TRAVEL

By Tracy Line Have you booked a flight lately? If so, it’s likely you were scratching your head as you tried to figure out exactly how much it was going to cost you. You’ve got the flight itself, plus baggage fees, seat fees, surcharges and convenience fees. Flying is not for the weak. To help you through the maze of confusion, below are some of the wacky charges you may incur when flying.

Baggage fees. Rates vary per airline and run anywhere from $15 to $33 per person for the first bag, even more for the second. On international flights, some (not all) of the airlines give you your first checked bag for free. Southwest is the only major airline that does not charge baggage fees. And be careful how you pack. Overweight bags are $50 to $100 extra and oversized bags are $75 to $150 more!

Seat fees. You don’t have to select your seat when you purchase a ticket, but most of us want to do so. A few of the airlines will allow you to

book seats for free, but most charge, at least to choose in advance. Fees range from $6 to $17 per seat.

Crazy fees. Hope you’ve got Internet access, because every major airline except Southwest charges to book your flight by phone, up to $25 per ticket. In November of 2012, Spirit Airlines will start charging $5 for their agents to print your boarding passes. They also charge for bags that don’t fit under the seat in front of you ($30). Both Allegiant and RyanAir already charge fliers a “convenience fee” to pay by credit card. And most airlines will tack on a surcharge for holiday and peak flights.

Personally I hate the games; I’d rather just pay more for my ticket.

» Travelers due a refund – If you bought an airline ticket on or before July 22 for travel, either domestic or international, starting July 23, don’t throw out your receipt. Congressional wrangling partially shut down the FAA, which midnight July 22 stopped collecting federal ticket taxes, including everything from excise to international facilities taxes. As a result, millions of consumers are due refunds, from about $30 for those who bought a ticket for $200, to as much as $60 for those who purchased a $500 ticket. None of the airlines have yet to implement a process by which consumers can get their refunds.

What does your face say?

COMMENTARY

By Barry Eppley One’s face is revealing of many things, sometimes good and sometimes not so good. Time, genetics, sun, smoking and stress or good fortune all leave their marks on one’s face. Right or wrong, people make instant judgments about one another’s age, personality and character based on their facial features. But many things can be gleaned from a face than just a smile or a frown.

Certain medical conditions may be able to be diagnosed just from one’s face. Sparse hairs or an absence of the outer third of the eyebrows could be a sign of thyroid failure. A round or moon-shaped face develops is someone taking steroids. Small strokes can be detected from changes in facial expressions or laugh lines. A very broad forehead and large nose may be a sign of acromegaly where too much growth hormone is being produced.

Sleepy eyes may be a sign of a neuromuscular disorder known as myasthenia gravis, which makes the eyelids droop. The ears can be a tipoff to gout, if they have bumps that look like tiny stones under the skin. A common sign of aging is the arcus senilis, a whitish or grayish ring that forms around the iris in many older people. In the right lighting, one can tell if someone has had cataract surgery as the implanted lens gives off a “metallic glint” at certain angles.

One’s stated age versus their appearance can often be a sign of good or ill health. A youthful look

www.youarecurrent.com

is usually a sign of good health as illnesses tend to make people look older. Even if one looks older than their stated age and has no medical illnesses it may also reflect various psychological disorders.

The face is also a well known reflection of one’s age and occurs in a classic triad. First, wrinkles, age spots and tiny spider veins appear which are worsened by long-term sun exposure and smoking.

Secondly, a loss of volume appears which is the shrinking of the fat layers in the face, most commonly in the cheeks. This will create a gaunt or deflated look and cause bags under the eyes to stick out more than before. Lastly, certain parts of the face simply drop, neck and cheeks sag downward due to stretched out skin and loose ligaments.

But one’s skin color has a huge impact on facial aging. The more pigment you have in your skin, the thicker it is. Thicker skin has more elastic fibers, which are more resistant to aging changes.

The increased pigment also blocks the sun better.

In addition, darker skin has more oil glands so it remains suppler over a lifetime and less prone to wrinkling. These are the advantages that African Americans, Asians, Hispanics and people of Mediterranean descent have over most Caucasians.

Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

Passion leads to purpose RELATIONSHIPS

By Kristen Boice What do you feel passionate about? What do you love (besides your family, children and friends)? Our passion often leads us to our purpose in life. For example, I am absolutely passionate about helping people work though blocks or barriers such as hurt, guilt, shame and self-doubt in order to experience freedom to be authentically who they are.

I believe when you find your passion, you will experience freedom, happiness and, ultimately, less anxiety and more peace. It sounds so simple. However, many people do not really know what they are passionate about because they have lost a sense of who they are. We have spent so much time trying to please others or creating stories about why we can’t do something. What if you could change this? How would your life be different?

Below are some questions to ask yourself in order to find and live out your passion, which will lead you to your purpose.

What do you get excited about? Technology, gardening, helping others, interior design, leadership, fitness, writing, photography and the list goes on. Identify and write down areas you love.

What are the blocks or limiting beliefs that hold you back from pursuing it either personally or professionally? Look at your thoughts around placing more emphasis on this area. What are you telling yourself? I’m not

good enough. I don’t have the time or money.

Whatever it is, work on deleting this from your thoughts and replacing them with the opposite statement.

How do you feel when you are doing what you love? Do you feel less anxious and more happy? Do you find yourself thinking about it often?

Do you have a plan on how to live it out? Create more time in your calendar or research what additional information or resources you might need to integrate this more in your life. Maybe it’s getting a coach or mentor to help keep you on track, reduce your fears and work on your limiting conversations. Set goals and make it happen.

Living out your purpose may mean a different job or it may mean focusing your time differently to help make your passion more of a priority in your life. We all matter and have a purpose.

It’s never too late to create what you want.

This quote by Bob Proctor summarizes what this all means, “Your purpose explains what you are doing with your life. Your vision explains how you are living your purpose. Your goals enable you to realize your vision.”

DISPATCHES » Buy a car, get a vacation – If you buy a new car in the future, you can pay less for the car and get a discounted European vacation at the same time by taking delivery of the car in Europe.

Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volvo currently offer the European delivery programs.

-www.bankrate.com » Hiring, pay down in Indy – SurePayroll’s Small Business Scorecard – a nationally recognized economic indicator that tracks the health of the U.S. small business economy – released its July 2011 figures last week.

For July, both hiring and paycheck levels are down slightly from the previous month, resulting in YTD decreases of 2.4 percent and 0.3 percent respectively. In addition, optimism among small business owners plummeted from 67 percent in June to 47 percent in July. Michael Alter, president and CEO of SurePayroll, said he now believes the small-business economy “is in reverse.”

But what’s fueled the fund’s growth in recent years -- and helped it hit a record $40.1 billion last week -- are its investments in the stock market, especially in Apple (AAPL). The fund’s 617,154 shares of Apple, purchased for $73,516,624, are now worth $207,160,083 -- a 182 percent increase.

Market may be stabilizing in Noblesville LOCAL REAL ESTATE

By Jim Litten It’s an old saying in the real estate business – location, location, location. And that’s never been more true than today. While many Hoosiers are still watching the housing market to determine whether now is a good time to buy, others are jumping in, taking advantage of stabilized housing prices and historically low interest rates. Case in point: In Hamilton County, sales are outpacing the rest of Indiana.

In Noblesville, pended home sales for the month of June were up 25 percent from the same time last year and inventory was down 26.9 percent. The average sales price rose 4.4 percent – all signs the real estate market is stabilizing.

Folks have flocked to Noblesville for a number of reasons, including its national rankings.

Just last year, Sperlings Best Places list ranked Noblesville as one of the cheapest places to retire, citing its low median home prices.

Though F.C. Tucker Company’s most recent housing report affirms that the Hamilton County real estate market is beginning to stabilize, it’s also important to note that last June’s sales were in a slump because many consumers took advantage of the homebuyer tax credit from January through April. So by the time last June arrived, fewer people were buying.

Gradually, stats on consumer confidence are improving and I believe Hamilton County’s consumer confidence will be the catalyst to an improved real estate market as time goes on.

In July, U.S. consumer confidence rose slightly to a 59.5 reading, according to The Conference Board, a New York-based private research group. That’s up from a 57.6 reading in June – nearly a two-point increase. In addi-

16 | August 9, 2011

tion, Noblesville’s June unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, according to the Department of Workforce Development, down 1.5 percent from June 2010 and 1.6 points below the national average. Generally, when unemployment decreases, consumer confidence increases and home activity picks up, as we are seeing now.

As we move toward the end of the year, a slight slow-down is possible in the housing market. That’s common in late-fall and winter months. But for now, the state of real estate appears to be improving in Hamilton County.

And as Noblesville and other parts of Hamilton County gain attention from regional and national audiences, it’s likely the accolades will further boost real estate sales.

Travel in Style: What to Pack With travel regulations requiring an extra fee for checked bags the best way to save money is to use a carry on. Here are some quick tips to make the most out of the room in your bag without having to sacrifice style or convenience.

• Hair • Skin • Nails • Massage

Choose Classic Colors: Use your judgment based on the season; black and grey are timeless for winter, brown looks great year-round, and white is perfect for summer.

Diversify with Accessories: The best way to make an outfit feel special is to accessorize appropriately.

You will want to choose small, relatively inexpensive accessories for security and functionality. If you can’t leave your favorite diamonds behind, wear them on the plane to ensure their safety.

Bring Staples: Solid tanks, tees, dark jeans, and leggings are perfect for everyday outfits. Your accessories will spice up these standard pieces. Another great option is the classic black dress, which with the right shoes, can go from day to night.

Toiletries: Remember TSA’s 3-1-1 rule and you won’t have to waste time at the security checkpoint. 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring.

3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.

Salon01 carries a wide variety of your favorite products in TSA approved travel sizes.

A Guide to Your Perfect Mascara

Back To School!

Choose the right shade: The best way to get great lashes is to start with the right shade of mascara. Black can work on anyone, but for fair-skinned individuals, and those with red hair, try a brownblack for a softer look.

Add Heat: Blast your eyelash curler with your hair dryer before very carefully curling the lashes. Squeeze the eyelash curler for a couple seconds once in the middle of the lashes, and once near the tips.

Enhance: For a more dramatic look, apply single, false lashes that come in tiny clumps. Using tweezers, dip the lashes in lash glue and place at the outer corner of your eyelid.

O f f e r go o d t h r o u gh Au gu s t 3 1 , 2 0 1 1

Add Volume: A translucent powder at the ends of lashes gives mascara volume and stay-power. Using an eye shadow brush, sweep powder on the ends and tops of your lashes.

Apply: Start with the wand at the root of your lashes and wiggle the brush to your ends. Apply multiple coats for a bolder look, being careful not to let it dry between applications, in order to avoid clumping.

Traveling in Style: What to Wear Have you ever seen those women that step off an eighteenhour flight looking like they met a famous stylist in that tiny smoke-free bathroom at the back of the plane? Yeah, we envy them too.

After we dust off our sweatpants and gracefully remove the drool from the corner of our mouths, we decide to find our own Tim Gunn en route. After all, with Salon 01 style what are we doing skimping on fashion in the name of comfort?! We are men and women that can have it all.

Forget the Sweats Microfiber, lycra, and spandex are your friends on those long trips in the car or on the plane. That doesn’t mean you have to look like grandma Betty in her favorite baby blue warm-up suit. Choose dark colors and sleek designs that compliment your body. For petites we love the Petite Sloan fit crop pants by Banana Republic. The “power stretch” fabric gives this pants amazing stretch and recovery.

Live in your Classic Wrap Dress Wrap dresses are amazing for every season.

Add leggings and long sweater for winter or a light cardigan and wedges for summer. Because you are focusing on one piece, going through security will be a breeze.

Pick your Power Shoe Wearing your heaviest shoe is key when you are trying to travel light. Also keep in mind that if it is not comfortable you are not going to want to wear it. That means in the airport and at your destination! There’s no room for uncomfortable shoes in your suitcase.

Pack that Pashmina A perfect pashmina is the wonder accessory when it comes to layering. Use it as a light throw during flight, a cover up at the beach, or a pop of color to your classic outfit.

Removing walls in custom kitchen remodel REMODELING

By Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home located in Indianapolis was built 28 years ago. The current owners have lived in this home for 18 years and the kitchen has never been remodeled. The homeowner said,“now that the kids are gone, it‘s time to update!”

REMOVING WALLS & CREATING NEW SPACE: The biggest change was the elimination of several existing walls and the creation of the new larger space. The new plan created a separate laundry room and half bath in the former laundry area. A structural beam was installed to support the kitchen ceiling when a section of wall was removed. The new beam was raised into the ceiling allowing a continuous, flush new ceiling. A new wall was added bumping out into the great room roughly three feet. Finally, a bulkhead was framed over the new banquette area to create new cozy soffit lighting.

THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE: According to the homeowner, the biggest difference now is the new open floor plan. “The dividing walls from the kitchen/dining room are gone. The new laundry area is divided and closed off from the half bath. The kitchen wall was replaced by an island. We absolutely love the island.

It’s the best part of our kitchen remodel. We used to have a small breakfast bar where we ate. Now, we eat at the large island all the time.”

FAVORITE FEATURES: The old cabinets were replaced with new semi-custom, full overlay cabinets with a square raised panel door style.

The perimeter and banquette areas are maple painted a polar white color while the island is

Before

After maple painted black. All drawers were upgraded to five-piece, dovetail, full-extension and soft close. The new tile backsplash was also a favorite. The homeowner commented, “one of my favorite items of the new kitchen is the beveled subway tile backsplash. It is absolutely beautiful against the black pearl granite countertops. We are very pleased with our kitchen.”

Saving Civil War sites = $1.50

Join the

Being part of history = Priceless GENEALOGY

By Darla Kinney Scoles In the spring of 1861, decades of simmering tensions between the northern and southern United States exploded into the American Civil War. Four years of brutal conflict followed. The War Between the States pitted neighbor against neighbor and in some cases, brother against brother. By the time it ended in Confederate surrender in 1865, the Civil War proved to be the costliest war ever fought on American soil, with some 620,000 of 2.4 million soldiers killed, millions more injured and the population and territory of the South devastated That was 150 years ago, and yet, when I stepped on the ground in rural West Virginia, where at least one of these battles took place, I could literally feel the significance and spirit of what took place there. I had been to re-enactments and seen plenty of Civil War displays, but there was something completely different about walking on the ground where the conflict actually took place. It was sobering, thrilling and thoughtprovoking – an experience I will never forget.

So when I saw an ad on The History Channel asking viewers to help preserve Civil War sites such as the one I visited, I immediately knew

20 | August 9, 2011

the value in doing so.

In commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, HISTORY has invited all Americans to help preserve Civil War sites and stories through the Give 150 national campaign. Asking only for $1.50 donations, the initiative allows citizens the opportunity to not only preserve history, but to be a part of it.

Give 150™ donations go directly to the Civil War Trust and the National Park Foundation, both non-profit 501(c) 3 organizations, to help protect Civil War sites and lands, and support their interpretation.

Whether you have a Civil War-affiliated ancestor or you don’t, if you live here, this conflict is a part of your history. Consider visiting www. history.com/give150 or www.takepart.com/ give150 and saving an historic site. Then visit one and feel why it was worth it.
