OUR VIEWS

It is our opinion that President Obama’s decision to summarily ban off-shore drilling near U.S. waters after the recent BP oil spill seems more of an emotional and political choice that one attentive to science and the pressing economic reality of our nation. This country needs a steadfast and strong leader focused on guiding us out of one of the worst recessions in recent history. Devastating the energy industry in several states seems inconsistent with that need. Clearly, the oil spill has been a complete and utter tragedy. Many will spend days, weeks, and months seeking where to affix blame – to BP, the Obama administration and all others involved. Sadly, our commanderin-chief’s action ultimately increases our reliance on foreign oil and costs American jobs. Offshore wells have functioned for decades with a solid safety record. We should use this opportunity to learn and not to advance an ill-conceived green political agenda. We have talked about healthcare for some, mortgage rules for all and now environmental advocacy. Isn’t it time that we talked about the economy and jobs? At the very least in this case, we should allow experts in the energy industry and the states directly affected to participate in the discussion.

Immune to criticism

It is our position that vaccines are a necessary good for children and the public at large. Vaccinations against major debilitating diseases, such as, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, small pox, etc., have nearly eradicated these diseases in the U.S. And yet, many continue to express concerns about the value and safety of vaccinations. Unfortunately, if we stop vaccinating, these diseases could readily stage a comeback. As a local school recently reminded, “Indiana law requires that students have all required immunizations within the first 20 days of school or the student must be prohibited from attending school until they receive the required immunizations.” Students entering grades 6-12 are required to have vaccinations for tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis, meningococcal conjugate vaccine, and a second varicella vaccination. Students entering preschool or kindergarten must now have two appropriately documented chicken pox vaccines, physician’s documentation of disease history, or laboratory evidence of immunity. Accepted documentation includes a physician’s written documentation, a written documentation from another school corporation, an immunization record from (CHIRP) or printed record from another state registry. Documentation must

From the backshop Stamp act: A senator sticks it to us Every once in a while, we come across a situation that, in our opinion, crystallizes what’s wrong with Washington with regard to its inability to get its fiscal house in order. Perfect example: We’re sure you’re familiar with the problems at the United States Postal Service. According to a study released March 1 of this year, the Postal Service will lose $238 billion during the next decade. Postmaster General John Potter is to be commended for recognizing the need for drastic action, including eliminating Saturday deliveries, which he says will save $40 billion over the next decade. Potter’s request was made to the Senate panel that oversees the USPS. Now, it’s tough to not laugh about a plan for saving money and becoming more efficient relies on our Senate, which is suspect, given their track record of fiscal disasters. But here’s the point we’re trying to make: Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), in a grandstanding announcement, said, “Folks in rural and frontier communities often rely on their Saturday mail to bring them the things they need to live.” We can’t imagine that these folks, long known for their hard work and perseverance, couldn’t get by on a five-days-a-week delivery schedule. We

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg might add, Tester said the $40 billion dollars amounts to “relatively small savings and cost hundreds of jobs in Montana alone”. So, there you have it. A $40 billion saving plan doesn’t matter, nothing gets done, and we’re stuck paying for those rural post offices and Saturday delivery. Look for a postal increase come January. ••• As we went to press, KeyBank played host to an advanced teen driving program – free instruction well beyond standard driver’s education – and we’re hoping it was overattended. With the spate of teens dying in car accidents the last year-plus, KeyBank’s offer was noble. If it saves one life …

Commentary By Zach Dunkin Just got back from a three-week sojourn to the Left Coast via Amtrak’s California Zephyr, and here are a few things I learned : • Traveling by rail to California – especially through Denver and beyond – is an incredible way to see America. Put it on your bucket list. I did learn, however, that some Midwest farmers like to stash their broken-down cars, trucks, farm equipment and washing machines as far away from the house as possible, which means up against the tracks. • Some California state highways are designated “freeways” with no stops. You can zip from town to town like you would on an Interstate, but the interchanges don’t seem to take up as much space as the Interstate interchanges. Might be something to consider for State Road 37 running southwest of Indy instead of I-69. Or maybe U.S. 31 heading north? • Some independent California fast-food restaurants charge extra for refills on drinks, while some gas stations charge less per gallon if you pay in cash. • Gas in Northern California is about 50 to 75 cents more per gallon than it is here.

There’s even a station outside of Yosemite National Park that charges $4.09 per gallon, claiming there are no stations in the Yosemite Valley. What they don’t say is that there are stations selling gas a half dollar cheaper not in the valley but nearby at higher elevations in the park. • The speed limit along the Silverado Trail highway in Napa Valley that connects more than 40 wineries offering daily wine tastings is 55 mph.

COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I think I’m addicted to Unisom. Seriously, I’d been taking half a pill for the last four nights to help me sleep during the Wilson Family Reunion Weekend (29 people, ages five weeks to 65 years, one lake cottage, no A/C), and thought I could quit cold turkey last night now that I was back in my own – well, my inlaws’ – bed. No dice. It took me hours to fall asleep, and then I felt as if I were tossing and turning every 15 minutes. This morning, I’m chalking my sleepless night up to withdraw from doxylamine succinate, but in all honesty, my insomnia is probably the result of anxiety. Here’s the latest in my so-called life: On the upside, we do have a house we are closing on in just three short days! Yay! And my husband and I are going to my cousin’s wedding in Clearwater without our kids for a weekend getaway. Double yay! The problem is, the two events are less than 24 hours apart, which means we won’t be able to actually move in until after we return, leaving me only one week to unload three Pack Rat containers, one garage bay and several closets full of crap before school starts. So last night, in between cursing the cat for her uncanny musical resemblance to Yoko Ono and beating the bejeesus out my unusually lumpy pillows, I was trying to figure out the logistics of yet another move and whether I could get a very blue kitchen painted before Christmas. In the scheme of things though, moving in to a place is more along the lines of good anxiety, much like the excitement I feel before a vacation or my birthday. I don’t mind a few sleepless nights because of that. What I do mind and what is somewhat ruining the fun of a new house is that I still don’t have a job. Remember that “might-be-perfect” Tuesday I wrote about? Well

I didn’t get the position I interviewed for, nor did I get the next two jobs that came along. So now I’m stressed out that I’ll be unemployed forever. This would mean I won’t be contributing financially to our mortgage, which will in turn increase my husband’s stress level and require me to step up my hug game, thereby resulting in even more stress for me. It’s most definitely a vicious cycle. No job, more stress, less money, more stress, more hugs, more stress: You get the picture. And to top off my anxiety sundae with a big, juicy, tensioncovered cherry, one of my kids is complaining of “black-outs” followed by Alzheimer-like confusion. What?! Though it’s probably just migraines due to her not wearing her glasses; when I’m awake at 4:47 a.m. my mind races to epilepsy, brain tumors and pediatric stroke. Damn you, Web MD! So now the question is, do I succumb to my addiction and resume my sleep candy habit, or do I buck up and try to stay clean tonight? I feel terrible today and can’t bear another anxietyridden, no-sleep session, and I do have another interview tomorrow. On the other hand, I don’t want to be dependent on a pill, despite its pretty blue color, and I’m certain people would prefer to not hire a druggie. Of course, without my beauty sleep, I won’t score any points, either. After all, we day-walkin’ gingers need all the help we can get, including eight to 10 hours of Zs. Decisions, decisions. Ah, who am I kidding? Unisom, 1, successful intervention, 0. Peace out.

Who needs matching dinnerware when friends are a perfect fit? Commentary By Krista Bocko This summer we resumed our (once annual) “Summer Soiree,” deciding to hold it on the night of the Noblesville Street Dance. This was perfect because we live downtown, and this way our friends could stop by and hang out, and then walk over to the dance if they wanted. I wanted to make the party as earth-friendly and lovely as possible, and to gather what we already had, which meant using real glasses, silverware, plates and napkins. I didn’t care if they were mismatched; actually I prefer it. Thanks to the wonders of Facebook, I was united with card tables, chairs, glasses, and dozens and dozens of vintage 1950’s snack trays (thank you, Brenda, and I support you in your snack-tray-collecting compulsion, even though your family subjects you to endless teasing). I set up the tables with my vintage tablecloths, stocked the cooler with beer, and we were ready to go. Our friends came and went, and we savored delicious food, drink, conversation and music. It

was fun to see everyone re-connecting with old friends and making new. As dark fell, the lights strung on the clothesline lit up the night, and the hula hoops came out. I loved hooping with my friends and laughing as we showed our mad hooping skills. And I laughed watching my friend Kristin take “duck face” pictures of some of the guests. If you don’t know what duck face is, you’re missing out. Maybe not. As storms started to blow in, we packed it in, sad it was over but grateful to have had a gorgeous summer evening in this place.

ONLY 3 1/2 WEEKS REMAINING!

Despite Kevin’s plant-killing skills, he’s still a pretty cute, little kitten Commentary By Hannah Davis “Hannah, I found a kitten! What should I name him?” my sister Phoebe asked me via text. “Takem Tudah Shelta,” I responded. I thought it was awfully regal. That was two weeks ago, and you can probably guess where he is. Let’s succinctly clarify by saying that I came home from a trip to Missouri to a house full of cat toys. Here’s, really, all there is to know about him: He’s small-ish and gray, my sister has named him Franklin, although my mom and I call him Kevin, and he likes to 1) hiss at my dog and 2) knock over houseplants. I was willing to give the scoundrel a chance until he committed the latter offense while I was trying to sleep. Even my giant box fan doesn’t drown out the God-forsaken, dingly bell on his collar. He hopped around my door (which made his bell even louder than it normally is), around the scattered piles of clothes and whatnot, and directly onto Seymour, the beloved plant I received as a Valentine’s Day present a year and a half ago.

Top 5 Favorite Pets in the US 1. dogs 2. cats 3. rabbits 4. fish 5. guinea pigs

Seymour’s remains are currently being rehabilitated in a forcing jar in the kitchen, but he has no roots to speak of, and he is, thanks to Kevin’s unforgivably sharp little claws, not quite the plant he used to be. But Kevin, even for a plant-destroying, evil, demon kitty, is pretty cute. I suppose, somewhere deep down in my heart, I’ll find a way to forgive him. Eventually. Hannah Davis is recent graduate of Noblesville High School. She will be attending Indiana University in the fall.

Guests in town? Impress them with our downtown Commentary By Leslie Webber Having not grown up in Noblesville and having attended college in another state, I have a collection of friends who are scattered throughout the country. I’m not one to lose ties with old friends, so we often have visitors. We always take guests “downtown” Indy. For a suburban mom who rarely goes south of 96th Street, it’s something of a treat. We have it down to a science. We always hit the same haunts. We know who will enjoy the Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens. We can guess who will be up for a paddle boat ride on the canal. Everyone loves a shrimp cocktail at St. Elmo’s. Last week we had a guest in from Seattle. The Pacific Northwest is pretty hard to beat as far as scenery and fresh cuisine. We had taken our guest downtown multiple times during previous visits. She is single and doesn’t have children, so the thought of our children dragging her through The Children’s Museum sounded painful. It was way too hot to take a carriage ride around the Monument Circle. Forget the

paddle boats! What were we going to do? Then it hit me. Why not spend the day exploring Noblesville? Instead of a 25-minute car ride through traffic and construction, we were on the Square in 10 minutes. We started at the recently reopened The Wild bookstore, where I chatted with the new owner who proudly showed off recent changes. We worked our way around downtown and into stores I’m ashamed to say I’d never visited. I bribed the kids with an ice cream cone from Alexander’s to let us shop “just 10 more minutes.” Our guest left with a suitcase bulging with purchases that remind her of Indiana. I know I’ve written multiple columns about how quaint and special our Square is, but “seeing” through the eyes of an out-of- towner was even more fun. Leslie Webber is a Noblesville resident, wife, mother of two very young children and a professional photographer. Visit her Web site at www.lesliewebber.com.

The home appears larger than it really is. The rooms are small with 10-foot tall ceilings, and each room is closed off from the next with wooden doors and transoms. What work have you done on your house? “The work has been an ongoing labor of love for the past 34 years. We’ve had custom windows made for the house, as well as had exterior painting and wood repair done, roofing, and general updating of the interior.” What are your favorite features? “The stairwell with its decorative newel post and curved steps. This curve makes it almost impossible to get the furniture up to the second floor and requires the use of the second story door right above the formal front entrance.

The decorative corbels and gingerbread on the front porch are all original. The interior has the original doors and hardware and the windows retain their original trim.” What do you like about this area/neighborhood? “Being within walking distance to all that Noblesville has to offer. I feel like I still have a piece of the country, but am near to the city and activities.” Carol Ann Schweikert contributed the home research for this column.

Noblesville scout: National Jamboree was amazing experience Editor’s note: Five local troops representing the Central Indiana and the Crossroads of America Council recently stuffed their trunks full of sleeping bags and uniforms and headed off for the National Boy Scout Jamboree in Fort A.P. Hill, Va. Andrew Stewart, a student at Fall Creek Intermediate School in Fishers and a member of Troop 150 in Noblesville, joined tens of thousands of fellow scouts from all over the world. Here is Andrew’s report from the event. By Andrew Stewart For Current in Noblesville The National Boy Scouts Jamboree is held every five years and has been known to have over 30,000 attendees. This year, the Boy Scouts are celebrating their 100th anniversary, and the crowd was expected to reach 45,000 – making Fort A.P. Hill the seventh largest city in Virginia for the 10 days the scouts are there. More than a year of fundraising, monthly meetings, and campouts led to our departure on July 23. We had a Shakedown Campout which was a simulation of the jamboree experience. We spent several days exploring Gettysburg, Pa., and Washington, D.C. before finally arriving at the jamboree. During the jamboree, we experienced the ultimate campout with fellow scouts from all over the world. Meeting scouts from coast-to-coast and across seas was an amazing experience. It made us realize scouting is a global movement, and it’s not just here in our communities. It’s a very diversified organization.

The closing arena show had about 100,000 people in attendance, plus millions watching it on television and over the Internet around the world. Mike Rowe, the star of the television series, “Dirty Jobs,” talked about his experience as a Boy Scout. He said he was bleeding after being in the Stewart Boy Scouts for less than two minutes. He also said he wanted to take the word “clean” out of the scout law so the law would be “A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, and reverent.” He said a scout should be clean, but not be afraid to get dirty. Towards the end of the show, there was a short video about all the times the Boy Scouts were referred to in movies. After the awesome video was over, the band Switchfoot played. The show ended with a bang with the largest firework show ever on a military base. As I walked back to camp, I thought about what Rowe said. I think “clean” should still be in the law, but agree with Rowe that a scout should not be afraid to get dirty from time-to-time. If Scouts were afraid to get dirty, they would not ever camp out, which is a major part of being a scout.

Natural transformation Big city girl comes to Noblesville and sprouts into a gardening master

By Brenda Alexander Current in Noblesville Jeanette Daniels lives in a gated community -- the gate being necessary to keep her two llamas from wandering off. And her community evokes the old-fashioned meaning – to share. You see, Jeanette lives in commune with nature. The gentle llamas – Biscuits and Gravy -- are an exotic and recent addition to her thriving community. You might think Biscuits is white and Gravy is brown, but you’d be wrong. These names symbolize just how far this former Chicagoan has moved from her roots. Gravy isn’t just any gravy, he’s Country Gravy – the white kind. Thirteen years ago, Jeanette and her husband bought a 10-acre lot just off State Road 32 in Noblesville. Despite a few mature trees near the farmhouse, it was simply a corn field – flat and utilitarian, but no one’s paradise. Since then, Jeanette has taken her certification as a Master Gardener and transformed at the land into a lush orchard with splashes of color from native annuals everywhere. The farm is a monument to what the love of growing things can produce. Jeanette has always been wired for a green thumb, but that doesn’t mean she was always good at it. Her mother was her greatest inspiration. When still a child, Jeanette’s mom gave in to her demands for more and more plants, which frequently didn’t survive her early attentions. “Finally,” explained Jeanette, “she gave me more than I could kill.” But her strongest motivation is fragrance and the memories fragrances evoke. “I think the thing you remember – that sticks with you most – is fragrance,” said Jeanette. One spring when a succoring rose bush was in bloom, an older couple was touring her farm. She approached just as the man, with his face buried in the rose blooms, exclaimed, “That is my grandma’s house!” To be a good gardener, one must embrace chaos. Some find her lifestyle with animals, chores, and ever-present dirt not fit for people. But Jeanette feels we are too disconnected from our food supply and need exposure to this type of life. One memorable girl couldn’t get over where eggs come from. As an organic farmer, bugs and pests are a frequent problem. Chickens and guinea hens are great bug eaters, but if you think they are stupid, consider this: Jeanette was using little sacks to attract Japanese Beetles through smell. They quickly filled with the swarming creatures. When she went to check on them, she found her free range chickens had pecked holes in the sacks and were lining up for their version of fast food. To get started gardening, Jeanette recommends getting to know your neighbors. “It’s like drugs,” she explained, tongue firmly planted in cheek, “a friend gets you hooked with free samples.” Jeanette gets many starts from friends, although she isn’t above purchasing plants, especially if it’s a new lily. The tall flox near her porch remind her of the friend who gave her the starters. Every plant has a story.

As an organic farmer, bugs and pests are a frequent problem, and chickens and guinea hens are great bug eaters.

The Daniels' farm on a 10-acre lot just off State Road 32 in Noblesville is a monument to what a passion for growing plants can create.

HOW TO GET STARTED

Gravy, one of Jeanette's two llamas, is named after country-style white gravy.

Current in Noblesville

For anyone who is bitten by the growing bug, Jeanette Daniels has a couple of suggestions to help you get started. First, she says, determine the purpose of your garden. If flowers, consider sun and shade. If for cuttings, avoid the front lawn as the beds look sparse at times. If herbs, fence them off from critters. If for vegetables, camouflage by edging with flowers. Then, decide whether or not you will garden organically. These decisions will determine the tools you need, which are surprisingly few. And like any addict whose love of plants is deep-rooted she’d love for others to get hooked. If interested in the Master Gardener certification, contact Bill Rice at the Hamilton County Purdue Extension at 317.776.0854.

‘I’ll start on Monday’ wrong way and day to approach healthy start Commentary By April Conard Some of us may reach that point when we say to ourselves, “OK, I have got to start eating healthier.” Or, “I need to join a gym. I’ll start on Monday.” Which Monday are we talking about? Three Mondays from now? A Monday in 2011? Stop fooling yourselves, people. It’s called a stall tactic. If you were serious about getting busy getting healthier, you would have not uttered the “M” word and begun immediately. A big build-up to begin to Monday usually is followed by a big letdown. I’m not saying you are a failure, but I think that sometimes people fail on purpose. I mean, they always know that there will be another Monday, so if this one isn’t the one, maybe next week is. Don’t give yourself an out. If you slip up, even on that first day, shake it off and get back up. Once you decide to start doing anything on a Monday, you are entering a danger zone the weekend before. Many of us (me included) will take the opportunity to completely pig out and lay on the couch that whole weekend. Big no-no, folks! Working out will seem impossible because you are so sluggish from lack of move-

ment, and that’s before your sugar hangover kicks in. Monday isn’t always a Monday. For some it is the beginning of the month. For others, the start of a season, “I’ll join the gym in the winter. Right now, I can work out outside.” So why aren’t you? Joining a gym in the summer is actually a very good idea. Memberships are usually down in the summer months, so gyms tend to run specials to get people in the door. Take advantage of this Besides, you can’t workout outside right now in this heat and humidity. It’s 90 degrees when we wake up and 90 degrees when we go to bed. Not good outdoor training weather. I’m not trying to beat you down here; I’m just wondering what are you waiting for? There is nothing special about a Monday than any other day that makes it easier to begin a healthy lifestyle. Monday is usually the most stressful day of the week. Why add to that? Noblesville resident April Conard is an NETA- certified trainer and Group Fitness Director at the Noblesville Athletic Club.

Back to School: Are you ready? (Last of three parts)

Smart diet a no-brainer for kids COMMENTARY By Carol Rossetti, N.D. You’ve bought the new clothes, filled their backpack with pens, pencils, paper and notebooks. Now, it’s time to consider how you are going to feed their brain so learning can take place. A diet filled with good, healthy fats such as Omega 3 high DHA will equal a good, healthy brain. Fake fats will equal a fake brain and nonfat equals No Brain. It’s a no-brainer! Don’t give your children non-fat foods. That usually means they don’t get the fats their body and brain need but they get an overabundance of sugars. Foods fall into one of three categories: protein, carbohydrates and fats. The very best diet for your children is filled with good, lean protein, carbohydrates in the form of vegetables and some fruits, and healthy fats such as olive oil, flaxseed oil, fish oils (make sure it is tested well though).

What’s a good breakfast for children? Not Pop Tarts! Eggs, turkey sausage, oatmeal, French toast, Cheerios with fruit. No fruit juice; too high in sugar. Pancakes, only if you make them from scratch. Otherwise, forget them. Pair them with fruit and whole milk – whole milk only. School lunches are generally poorly balanced and usually low in protein and high in sugar. Pizza is mostly dough that becomes sugar in the mouth with a little pepperoni (nitrites), and usually fake cheese. If you are going to allow your children to eat an occasional school lunch, make sure you send them with a good protein to eat with it. Things such as a cheese stick, sliced deli meat or hardboiled egg. Feed them well. Noblesville resident Carol Rossetti, N.D. is a Naturopathic Doctor with Wellness By Nature. She can be reached at (317) 773-1612 or visit www.wellnessbynature.com.

Duck down when you pass a church COMMENTARY By David Cain It was a Tuesday, and I had just left a meeting downtown. Heading north on Meridian Street, the windows were down, and I was enjoying the gorgeous day and surprisingly mild weather. As I escaped from downtown like Thelma and Louise, the phone rang. I rolled up the windows to quiet the car and take the call. As soon as I answered the phone, a shot rang out. It sounded like a pistol went off in the car. I felt something hit my neck. I screamed something. I was in a state of panic. And, I guess whenever you think someone just shot at you, your natural instincts are to stop. Without thought, I pulled the car over and felt my neck. There was a little blood, but not enough to say I’d been shot. I looked around and didn’t see any gunman. As it turns out, a lawnmower launched a rock directly at my car. The rock hit my driver’s side window with such velocity that glass hit me in the neck. Roll down the window, and the rock would have been embedded in my neck. That phone call saved my life. When a rock is hurled from a lawnmower

and randomly strikes a car traveling 40 miles per hour on a busy road in the middle of the day, it’s cause to reflect. Add the fact that the lawn happened to be that of a stately church and it really makes you wonder. Was the rock a warning? Was that rock trying to tell me something? Was there a lesson in this near tragedy? I concluded two viewpoints: This was either karma for my great living (it missed me), or it was a warning. For certain, however, there was a lesson. And this lesson wasn’t lost on me. Now I keep my windows up all the time. I wince a bit each time I pass a lawnmower, and I scrunch down if they are mowing a church lawn. I am also reminded that life takes a little bit of luck. An occasional favorable bounce can make all the difference.

Mobile Veterinary Care provides veterinary services including but not limited to preventive medicine, surgeries, diagnostics and radiography for dogs, cats and horses at home or on the farm mostly in Fishers, Westfield, Carmel, Noblesville and Zionsville. Prices are generally equivalent to a stationary clinic’s prices. After the mobile truck arrives, the pet-owner almost always brings the pet out to the truck for the exam. Large animals should be confined to a stall or small paddock so they are easily catchable when the truck arrives. The service recently expanded its evening and Saturday hours from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. Stationary clinic appointments are also available at the Conner Street office. Low cost vaccines for dogs and cats are scheduled on Wednesdays from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Conner St. address. Owner Jason Herrmann, DVM, grew up in Pendleton, Ind., with a variety of animals, (horses, sheep, goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, and more) leading to his interest in veterinary medicine. He studied biology and veterinary medicine at Purdue University, graduating in 1999. He has since practiced veterinary medicine in the Indianapolis area and has realized his dream as a mobile, mixed animal practioner. Noblesville native Kelly Everson, DVM, joined the staff in April. She did her undergraduate studies at Purduen and received her veterinary degree from Western University of Health Sciences in California in 2008. Owner: Jason Herrmann, DVM 3501 E.

FREE COMMENTARY 20 DRINK BywithChris Lloyd $3.50 purchase of 46oz. bag of buttery popcorn By my count, "Date Night" has about five or six decent laughs in it. Most of these are throwaway jokes, are fleeting in their amusements. So, the question you have to ask is, is it worth sitting through 1½ hours of stale comedy in order to get to those sporadic chuckles? My answer is no, but maybe you have a higher tolerance for mediocrity. What's most disappointing about this lame comedy is that its two stars, Tina Fey and Steve Carell, are some of the sharpest comedic tools we have in the shed these days. But their talent for funny television ("30 Rock" and "The Office," respectively) has translated into uneven careers at the movies. Here they play Claire and Phil Foster, a middle-aged, middle-class couple struggling to stay connected with each other amid the hectic distractions of jobs and kids. Their solution is OZ.

Up to your ears in tomatoes? Prepare them now for later use By Molly Herner Current in Noblesville If you’re like me you probably expect your garden to fail each year, so you over-plant. Especially tomatoes But, what if your efforts are successful, and you are unexpectedly dealing with those extra tomatoes your garden has brought to fruition? There is no need to buy canned marinara sauce or sun-dried tomatoes if you have an abundance of tomatoes with these two solutions to that late-summer dilemma: Sun-dried tomatoes

Take any amount of tomatoes and slice them down to size. Roma tomatoes should be quartered. Larger tomatoes should be cut into six or seven slices. Cherry tomatoes can be halved. Set your oven to “warm,” and make sure you will be home to keep an eye on it. Like some people, you can do this overnight if you don’t mind your oven being on all night. Spread the tomato slices out onto large baking sheets covered with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the tomatoes and sprinkle them with a liberal amount of salt. Allow the tomatoes to sit in the warm oven for 6 to 8 hours. Depending on their thickness, they may need more time. When they look shriveled and a burnt-orange color, remove

them and let them cool. Store them in olive oil or freeze them for later use. Marinara sauce in bulk

Coat the bottom of a large soup pot with olive oil. Finely chop a few large onions and add them to the pot. Sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Let the onions soften over medium-high heat until they turn translucent. Add about 1/2 a cup of sugar and let this combination meld together until it is soft and paste-like. Chop up the tomatoes and fill the pot half way to the top with them. Let the sauce simmer for an hour or so over medium heat. When the sauce has simmered and is almost smooth add a cup of grated parmesan cheese, finely chopped fresh basil, a tablespoon of dried oregano, and a tablespoon of dried rosemary. Let the sauce simmer for another half hour.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and skim the frothy foam off the top of the sauce and discard it. This takes the tart edge out of the sauce. If you like a smooth sauce, puree it before it cools.

Current in Noblesville The spirit of the late pop legend Michael Jackson returns to Indiana Aug. 13 and 14 when the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is joined by conductor and composer Brent Havens, lead singer Delisco, and a tribute band at the Conner Prairie Amphitheater, 13400 Allisonville Road. The two 8 p.m. “Tribute to Michael Jackson” concerts with feature Havens’ newest symphonic program showcasing four decades of Michael Jackson’s hits like “Beat it,” “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” “I’ll Be There,” “Ben,” “Rock With You,” “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” “ABC,” “Smooth Criminal” and “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” among others. The symphonic program was created by Havens, who also arranged The Music of Led Zeppelin that the ISO has performed twice on the Lawn at White River State Park, The Music of Queen that the ISO presented last August at, and The Music of Pink Floyd that the ISO presented before a capacity crowd at the Hilbert Circle Theatre in March. Havens has written music for orchestras, feature films and virtually every kind of television programming. Recently, he worked with the Doobie Brothers and the Milwaukee Sym-

State Fair roundup

State Fair under way – The Indiana State Fair began last week on August 6 and will run through August 22. The fair is open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. (Sundays through Thursdays) or 12: a.m. (Fridays and Saturdays) though tickets ($8 for adults, kids five and under are free) will not be sold after 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., respectively. Exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information visit www.indianastatefair.com. ‘American Gothic’ sculpture to towers over Celebration Park – A 25-foot-tall sculpture inspired by Grant Wood’s iconic painting “American Gothic” will stand guard in Dow AgroSciences Celebration Park throughout the Great Indiana State Fair. “God Bless America” which has traveled to Chicago, Florida, Arizona and New York, will feature the well-known farmer with his pitchfork and daughter by his side. The sculpture, installed July 26 with the help of giant cranes, is a reminder of the nation’s agricultural roots. “God Bless America” was created by artist J. Seward Johnson, whose sculptures can be seen in the Carmel Arts & Design District. The sculpture is on loan from California-based The Sculpture Foundation. Free Tribute Town debuts at State Fair – The Stones, Eagles, CCR all on one bill? A trio of tribute bands will make that happen – at least, musically – at a new free event Aug. 19 in the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand. Called Tribute Town, the three-set show begins at 5 p.m. and

will feature three tribute bands – Blue Moon Swamp, Hot Rocks and 7 Bridges – replicating the sound and visuals of John Fogerty/ Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones and The Eagles, respectively. The event is part of the ABATE of Indiana Motorcycle Day. ‘Food for Thought’ on display – The Indiana Humanities Council is hoping visitors to the Indiana State Fair don’t just sample a variety of foods, but also talk about food, learn about what’s on their plates and think about how food influences their culture, and cultures around the world. To do so, fairgoers can stop by the “Food for Thought” traveling exhibit, explore the Recipe Trail and read winning entries in the storytelling contest. Food for Thought is a statewide, two-year program that examines food and its role in Hoosiers’ lives and culture. The exhibit will be at the State Fair through August 22 in the FFA Pavilion on the north side of the fairgrounds.

Summer is simply the best time of year and what better way to celebrate than at the Indiana State Fair. It’s the surprise on a child’s face as they see farm animals for the very first time…when families come together and make memories that last forever…it’s the sound of music as it fills the air...and the hot buttered corn and lemon shake ups that are the true taste of summer. The squeals of delight coming from the midway make you cherish the moments again. It’s a Summertime of Fun…at a price that fits everyone.

Escape to Heartland Health Spa just what mom of three needed Commentary By Tracy Line Earlier this year, I treated myself to a destination spa I’d been eyeing for more than three years: The Heartland Health Spa in Gilman, Ill., a short, 2-hour trip from Noblesville. I can easily say it was worth my wait. The Heartland truly focuses on health. Package prices include room, meals, exercise/ nutrition classes and spa treatments. I didn’t go there without reservation. I was both thrilled and fearful at the thought of this new adventure. What if I didn’t like the food? What if the classes were too hard (and not optional)? What if caffeine was taboo? I needn’t have worried. The food was fabulous; three filling meals each day and nutritious snacks available at any time. The exercise classes were designed for all fitness levels (and were optional). I found myself swimming, riding a bicycle and trying everything from Tai Chi to weight training to BOSU. The spa treatments were just icing Best of all, though, was that the Heartland

www.youarecurrent.com

Spa goes out of its way to make its visitors enjoy their stay. The property is small and intimate; more like a dorm than a hotel. Guests checkin, change into the provided sweats and run around doing whatever they choose. In between spa treatments and classes, we all gathered for meals in the cozy dining room. Afterwards some would head to yoga, while others relaxed in one of the many sitting rooms. I discovered a true sense of renewal after my stay at the Heartland. I focused on my health, relaxed, made friends, and soaked in the quiet of this quaint spa. As a busy mother of three, it felt wonderful to unplug from the craziness of daily routine.

Saying it all in six words COMMENTARY By Darla Kinney Scoles Sometimes having only a few words with which to describe or explain something can be a blessing. It narrows our focus and forces us to really contemplate each word with precision. Such is the case with the six-word memoir, which challenges folks to examine their lives and share the view in just a half-dozen, jam-packed words. For those who say they have no time to write or even think about getting their life story down on paper, a brief approach might be the best. Who knows? Once one gets started, more words may follow. In the book “Not Quite What I Was Planning” “writers famous and obscure” tell all in, yes, six words each. The results of the compilation are interesting and varied, just like the people who penned them. It is amazing how revealing six words can be. “Middle of seven made me me”, wrote Susan Sinnott. Shoshana Berger chose, “Still trying to impress my dad.” Perhaps writing for us all, Paul Lore summed

things up with “I live the perfect imperfect life”. The process of containing one’s life in six words can reap a soul-searching endeavor or a silly offhand comment. Will the writer choose to be funny, flippant, serious, or poignant? The choice of delivery alone tells a lot about the person. That’s the beauty of the exercise, which is always part of the warm-up work I do with people who come to me for help writing their life stories. It’s harder than you might think, yet inspirational at the same time. Try it and see. Feel free to send your memoirs my way ,and I’ll share them in a future column. Life stories don’t have to be long. A few words can “say” a lot. Just imagine if each of your ancestors had left such a six-word tome. You’d feel you knew them well. Darla Kinney Scoles is a freelance journalist living in Noblesville. Her most recent work involves the creation of “Stories”, an individualized writing service helping people gettheir personal histories down on paper. Contact her at darlakinneyscoles@gmail.com

The process of containing one’s life in six words can reap a soul-searching endeavor or a silly offhand comment.

Week of faith, hope and love will last more than seven days Commentary By Janna Lynas Mother Teresa said, “We can do no great things; only small things with great love.” The truth of her words was brought to life as Faith Hope and Love Week came to an end last Friday. “Small things” included packaging 25,000 food packs for relief efforts in Haiti, painting a house, hanging vinyl siding, building a shelter, swimming, weeding flower beds, tie-dyeing, playing soccer and coming together as one church to thank God for the great things He did all week. On the outside, the work accomplished seems significant. It took perhaps a sacrifice of time with family, a used vacation day or two from work, money and months of planning. It took a willingness to work in the hot, muggy heat of the day and sometimes, the rain. But all these things are very small because if you were there, you witnessed what made it great; the smiles, tears and words of apprecia-

tion from those who were served, the humbled faces of an entire football team, the prideful smile of children with the art they had created, the raw story of a hard but grateful life that has returned to God, the prayers for small hands that will grasp a 400-gram package of food that will nourish him for one meal, decisions to step back into the church community and questions about where to go and how to get there. The church truly was the church last week. Any differences in interpretation or belief were set aside for the sake of love and desire to fulfill what Christ said was second only to loving God – to love your neighbor as yourself. It is the hope of more than 500 volunteers that our neighbors in Noblesville felt great love. Janna Lynas is a stay-at-home mom living in Noblesville with her minister husband Derek and three children. You may contact her at faith@currentnoblesville.com.

A survival guide for new preschool parents Commentary By Michele Grossman The start of the school year is upon on, and many of you parents will be going through your first preschool experience. It IS a big deal. Embrace the poignancy. Understand that there will be tears – your child’s, yours, your spouse’s, or all of the above. But there also will be laughter. Your child will say funny things. Sometimes to the teachers. About you. Here are five more things you can expect and some tips on how to deal with them: • There will be snot and vomit. Viruses abound in the world. Preschool is a greenhouse of microorganisms. Remember: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. • There will be days when your child does not want to go to school. Resist the urge to make a big deal out of it. You may find keeping the TV off before school makes for a smoother transition. Nobody likes being interrupted in the middle of something. • Your child may tell you that no one ever plays with them. This may or may not be true. Try coaching your child on Answers to BUILD THE WORDS: SPAIN, BOILERMAKERS, FIELD AND STREAM, GEIST RESERVOIR, BAKED POTATO Answers to HOOSIER HODGEPODGE: Flowers: CARNATION, DAISY, LILY, MARIGOLD, ROSE, VIOLET; Officials: BACK JUDGE, FIELD JUDGE, LINESMAN, REFEREE, UMPIRE; Auto Dealers: ANDY MOHR, BILL ESTES, RAY SKILLMAN, TOM WOOD; Hospitals: CLARIAN, ST.

how to ask other children to play with them. Mention to the teachers that your child could use some assistance finding a playmate. • Your child may not remember the names of any of the children at school. Or your child may only remember the names of children who require extra correction. Consider consulting a teacher before setting up a playdate. • No news is good news. Things generally go well at preschool. Children learn things and have fun. They occasionally mix it up with other children as everyone learns about sharing and personal space, but this is all part of preschool. If a teacher doesn’t say anything special at the end of the day, assume the best. So, relax. It’s preschool. Enjoy watching your child grow. Teachers do. Michele Grossman is mother of three children who lives with her husband in Noblesville. She is a teacher at Country Children’s House Montessori Preschool.

Noblesville High School junior will spend school year in Finland Current in Noblesville Emily Wojtyna will be a junior in high school this fall, but instead of attending Noblesville High School, she is enrolled in Forssan Yhteislyseo in Forssa, Finland. Emily is participating in the Central States International Rotary Youth Exchange program. She is the only student from Noblesville who will be going on the exchange this year. Emily, who flew out last Saturday, will be staying with three host families during the school year. The Rotary program encourages world peace and understanding by offering youth from all over the world to meet people from other countries and immerse themselves in new cultures. Born in Pittsburgh, Emily lived in her father’s hometown of Butler, Pa., for three years until she moved with her family to Noblesville. Emily is a member of the National Society of High School Scholars, French Club, the NHS Orchestra and Key Club. She has won awards for her art work and poetry. She loves to help others and accept other people’s differences. She is excited about living in a different country and learning a new way of life. “First I am going to language camp, and,

Basements: Best described as ‘lower levels’

COMMENTARY By Randy Sorrell While the notion of a “staycation” may be getting fatigued, it is nevertheless an embraced reality. Many families are forgoing their traditional summer vacation and wisely using those saved funds toward home improvement projects. After all, if we are going to spend more time at home, let’s appreciate the surroundings as much as possible. Perhaps the most cost-effective way to expand or retrofit your living space is by finishing or remodeling your basement. Appropriately, all the stylish architecture and remodeling periodicals are referring to these previously damp and sterile spaces as a “lower level,” and I applaud that. Most finished lower-level projects we’re involved with seldom trigger childhood anxieties of creepy spiders and standing water. Phasing seems to be a popular thought process for everything now, from landscapes and patios to remodeling and retirement. In fact, around half of our home improvement projects are phased, and lower levels have that capability too. Sure, it can get a little cumbersome (otherwise known as a pain in the butt) and will likely cost a little more, but it will preserve the “B” word: budget. Obtaining the construction drawings,

building permit, framing, insulation, vapor barrier, electrical and drywall is the obvious initial phase. This chunk offers an immediate living space that can be fashioned in many ways. Later phases could extend beyond the essentials like a bathroom, bar, storage center, hobby area, crown molding, exercise room, wine cellar, media center, etc. For the “do it yourselfers,” first of all, God bless you, make certain your disability premiums are current and that you have a strong prescription drug program for the pain killers and Prozac required to ease your trauma. Painting is an obvious participation level as well as any simple tile work for a backsplash area or bathroom.

Prairie wildflowers right at home on the roadside Commentary By Holly Funk I enjoy traveling to other Hoosier cities and observing the diversity that exists right here in our home state. Indiana is unique in that it boasts everything from sandy beaches to hilly forests; lazy rivers to open prairies. And the people occupying the land are just as diverse. Just as there is diversity among the people, there is an assortment of landscapes in the communities they occupy. Some places have mown, manicured roadsides and others have vast expanses of prairie. Long distance travel is much more pleasant when the view out of the window is a blanket of wildflower blooms bobbing in the breeze. And I can’t see why every highway and interstate can’t have roadside wildflower plantings, not only for how aesthetically pleasing it is, but the overall benefits as well. After the initial cost of the installation of the prairie seed, which compares to the cost of seeding it with grass, the cost to maintain a prairie is much less than maintaining turf. And the benefits far outweigh the advantages to turf. The roots of turf are a mere 4 to 6 inches deep, compared to native prairie plants, which can reach as deep as 12 inches. That not only means that turf needs more water to keep it

looking nice, but also that it can not filter rainwater nearly as well as a deep- rooted native. Turf needs mowed every week, which not only takes taxpayer dollars to implement, but contributes to pollution – weekly. Turf also needs fertilizer and pest control to keep it lush – not only an expense, but another pollutant. Joy. Prairies also provide important habitat for wildlife, not only bugs and butterflies and birds, but mice and voles and frogs. There needs to be a balance of these creatures to keep a healthy environment. I don’t see what harm it does to leave these open areas left un-mowed. I just think that the manicured look is what people are used to and it is preferred over a big field of weeds. But someone somewhere knows the difference, or my trips to southern Indiana would not include such a nice view out of the window. But sometimes these things are contagious and maybe central Indiana will have wildflower fields as well, one day. And I won’t have to travel as far to enjoy it.

I always loved what the stylist did and loved to see the reaction that people would get when their hair was all finished.” Molly attended the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Since joining the Salon 01 team, she has helped with the CARA Fashion show, Guys and Dolls Auction, Pacemates photo shoots, and has traveled to New York representing Salon01 at the annual Intercoiffure conference.
