OUR VIEWS

It is our position that the newly opened Noblesville Trails will help support the growth and beauty of Northeast Hamilton County. The scenic, 9 miles of trails, starting at the Courthouse Square, highlight the White River, Forest Park, the active Nickel Plate Railroad, Morse Park and Potters Bridge with hopes that the city will also support the development of the Midlance Trance rail-trail westward to Westfield, across two historic iron-truss bridges. With many of the historic amenities Noblesville offers being overshadowed with the growing commercial and residential projects, this is a beneficial way to showcase those beautiful assets to the growing community and re-introduce to those who have lived here through all the growth. A future extension called the “Riverwalk” will carry the trail southward under State Road 32. Though the Greenways Foundation is not affiliated with Indy Parks, they support the Indy Greenways website at no cost to the City of Indianapolis and provide amenities and services for the various Indy Greenways trails. Through the collaborated efforts of these foundations, the biking, walking and rollerblading asphalt trails provides a lasting asset to the community and citizens of Noblesville, while continuing to promote health and fitness to all of Hamilton County.

Billion here, billion there

It is our position that all citizens, whether claiming liberal or conservative bias, should be concerned about the irresponsible addiction to deficit spending exhibited by our elected officials. During the first nine months of this year, Federal spending exceeded tax revenue by more than one trillion dollars. Fingers are pointed across the aisle, but neither party seems capable of accepting responsibility. When an entity experiences a cash flow shortage, ultimately it must cut overhead. When a bureaucrat is faced with the same crisis, they seem to shift responsibility and demand an increase in borrowing capacity. Hard-working citizens and risk -taking entrepreneurs must pay for these public employees and programs. If police, fire, and school employees are required, let local governments ask the people directly for the authority to expand taxes as many of our communities are doing with public schools. Don’t send dollars to Washington to get pennies back. We should ask ourselves: if we have a shortage of food will the problem be solved by inviting additional guests to dinner. If we conclude that the answer is no, one should also conclude that our current economic malaise will not be improved by bringing more overhead onto our collective balance sheet.

From the backshop Deserved recognition for a job well done Joe Arrowood and his associates should take a well-earned bow. Noblesville Main Street, Inc., for which Arrowood is the executive director, last week appropriately became an endorsed National Main Street by the National Trust Main Street Center.

Keep it going. Show your appreciation by shopping locally. We thank you in advance. ••• We like this: Rex Dillinger has announced he will seek an at-large City Council nomination in the Republican primary election next May. It should make for a lively race. A councilman from 2000 to 2003, he had a guiding hand in the development and economic advancement of key sectors of the city. His experience is unquestioned. Dillinger will seek the nomination for his previously held at-large seat on the Noblesville City Council in the May 2011 Republican Primary. City council has two at-large seats, now held by

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg first-term members Mary Sue Rowland and Brian Ayer. ••• Follow this lead: Boone County commissioners made a magnificent and significant decision last week in making sales of “Spice,” the synthetic “incense” that, when smoked, is supposed to resemble an amped-up marijuana high and may well end in death for the user. Not only should Hamilton County follow suit immediately, Gov. Mitch Daniels should do as his Tennessee counterpart, Phil Bredesen, did earlier this year, and have one among the Legislature sponsor a bill, which he can sign into law, making it illegal to possess or sell that “material.”

A belated birthday wish for cancer-stricken family Commentary By Zach Dunkin When we last heard from the Martin family of Cicero, they had temporarily moved to Seattle where Andrea and Drew Martin were to receive cancer treatment at the Seattle Children’s Hospital. In a moving story of courage published in the June 1 Current (visit archives at www.currentnoblesville.com), Darla Kinney Scoles described the plight of this family battling cancer for the 11th time. The Martins have a genetic disorder that predisposes them to multiple cancers, and 17 years ago lost a 7-year-old son, Nolan, to the disease. Ken Martin, the father, is a three-time cancer survivor. Andrea, 22 and a two-time cancer survivor, is undergoing a stem-cell transplant for bone marrow damage caused by previous chemotherapy. Andrea’s bone-marrow transplant appears to be working. Drew, 18, is in the battle of his life against a stubborn recurrence of bone cancer on his spine. He has lost the use of his legs because of it. Unfortunately, surgery, chemo treatments and a trial antibody study have not stopped the cancer growth. His last shot could be one more hardcore chemo treatment. Kim Martin celebrated her 49th birthday Aug. 17, and you can imagine what she wished

for when she blew out the candles on her cake. Now, she has another wish: for people to support The Hair Fairy Project, a non-profit organization she started to help children cope with the emotional side of cancer. The Hair Fairy is like the Tooth Fairy who leaves money and a book of encouragement called “H Is for the Hair Fairy,” written by Kim, under the pillow of a sleeping child who may have lost hair due to chemo treatments. Kim’s belated birthday wish is for people to send $5 to: The Hair Fairy Project Fund, Indiana Members Credit Union, 9710 Butterfly Drive, Noblesville, IN 46060 Her goal is to raise $4,000 to cover the cost of books for 250 patients each in Washington and Indiana. “It’s a small amount individually, but together our small efforts will combine to bring about good things in the life of many children in need of encouragement,’ says Kim. “And when we encourage the child, we also encourage the parent.” The Martins should know.

BATTLE OF THE BROTHERS.

Who wouldn’t want to win 50-yard line seats to check that out?

Historic homes of Noblesville Location: 1139 Cherry Street Owners: Pete and Barb Lapitsky, since 2004 Constructed by: Ann Dunn, circa 1877. Ann was the wife of Nathaniel Dunn, a Civil War Veteran, who died shortly after they purchased the land to build this house. Style and features: The style is Italianate, with a deep, bracketed cornice at the roofline. The original porch spanned the full width of the front of the home. The home now has a side porch, which was added in the 1920’s when the original porch was removed. The home has tall, narrow windows, solid oak floors, and heavy molding as a few of its charming features. What work have you done on your house? “We’ve refinished the office and bedroom floors, tiled the upstairs bath wall and added glass block, stripped woodwork, added a new porch entry door, new oak molding and installed a new kitchen countertop. We also added picture frame molding on the upper façade just under the roofline around the entire house. We added all new windows and a leaded glass address transom over the front entrance door, and Barb designed matching leaded glass transoms in the

living room. Outside we have landscaped the yard, added custom benches and a fence, and a brick walkway and stone slabs.” What are your favorite features? “We enjoy the side porch, the oak floors, the pocket doors, the original front door, the woodwork and high ceilings.” Noteworthy: This home will be one of those featured on the Historic Home Tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 18.

Teachers, administration searching for contract ‘we can live with’ By Zach Dunkin Current in Noblesville While 9,200 students have gotten busy with their homework, negotiating teams for both the Noblesville Teachers Forum and the Noblesville Schools administration are staying up late hammering out a contract agreement “that we all can live with,” according to NTF president Duska Landry. But that’s about all Landry could say since the mediator for the talks has instructed both sides not to discuss any details of the mediation. As of press time, no settlement had been reached, and both sides were scheduled to meet again Aug. 20. If a settlement is reached, there will be an NTF ratification meeting for members. The previous negotiations meeting on Aug. 13 lasted 9 hours, ending at 1 a.m. That had followed another 6-hour session Aug. 10. In an earlier interview with The Current Landry said teachers were willing to accept no raise on their base salary for the fourth consecutive year, among other concessions, but the salary incremental raise, an experience-based salary bump some teachers have been working years for, was too much to sacrifice. That could mean

as much as $4,000 or $5,000 next year for some teachers. The union wants teachers to receive their normal incremental pay , but the adminstration wants to cap increases at 2 percent, which Conner said would enable the district to rehire most of the 39 teachers laid off. In a “Welcome Back” statement on the school district’s web site, Conner said it “is Noblesville Schools’ hope that by continuing good faith negotiations with the Noblesville Teachers Forum, it can secure additional cost savings for the 2010-11 school year. This will allow restoration of some programming and adjustment of class sizes.” Conner also thanked the community for its support of by approving a property tax referendum in the May election, but also noted that “money will not come to us until after it’s collected in 2011.” Consequently, cost-saving adjustments were necessary. Conner added that pending any additional unanticipated cuts in state funding, the administration intends to restore programming in the 2011-12 school year after the additional revenue from the referendum dollars is received.

As temperatures go, I’m pretty much hot and cold COMMENTARY By Leslie Webber My husband recently pointed out that I’m pretty extreme when it comes to temperature. I’m either “burning up,” or about to “freeze to death.” I’m never “just a little warm,” or “a bit chilly.” Our sweltering summer did little to quiet my complaints. As long as I was partially submerged in the pool or in a climate-controlled room, I was copacetic. This worked fine until it came time to head back to school. Noblesville students are so fortunate to have air-conditioned schools. The kids at the bus stop couldn’t believe their parents spent their first few weeks in a sweat box of a classroom with nothing but a ceiling fan and a tepid drinking fountain. Then again, we didn’t go back to school the second week of August. While the students were comfortable in their classrooms during the day, student- athletes had it a little rougher. Normally, as I drive by the army of little guys dressed in pads and helmets practicing their football drills,

I’m sort of jealous. No one in our house shows any interest in playing football, much to my dismay. However, as another steamy Saturday rolled around, I have to admit I didn’t miss sitting on a field fanning myself while watching a game. I watched the State Fair Band Day competition results, (on television of course, you didn’t think I’d sit in that heat did you?) and the site of those red-faced Millers marching around in black wool uniforms made me wince. I wanted to spray all of them with a hose and hand them popsicles. That kind of dedication is really impressive and maybe a bit crazy. Things are looking up, as we creep towards fall. Lower temperatures are forecast. Practically a cold snap and I’m ready! I hope I don’t freeze to death.

Don’t be an American idler; turn off your engine in line

From little seeds… Frances Harding, who says she’s 81 ½, proudly shows off one of a several giant sunflower plants which have grown along the side of her house this summer. “Last spring I planted the seeds from a package my grandson sent me from California,” said Harding, who lives in the Dove’s Nest neighborhood in Noblesville. “Now, they’re taller than the house and so heavy they are drooping over.” Harding lived in California before moving to Daleville, Ind., and has lived in Noblesville for three years. “I love it here,” she said. “The people are so friendly, and there’s always something to do.” Photo by Zach Dunkin

What are friends for? Jump-starts for one thing Commentary By Brenda Alexander When does a dead car battery become a blessing? Recently, when my family and I were leaving Alexander’s On The Square downtown with four ice creams, we found out. We piled into the minivan, unwittingly using the last gasp of battery life to recklessly open the sliding doors. My husband – the driver – was the last in as he waited patiently for our son to smack and scoop in the 90-degree parking lot before hopping in. In our race to spoon creamy goodness into our mouths, the “click, click” sound of the engine doing nothing didn’t register at first. But my husband’s exclamation did. Ice cream was not the only thing undergoing a melt-down. I light-heartedly pointed out that he’d tired his wrist whipping out his wallet to satisfy our whims. Perhaps, his engine turnover wrist action had been compromised. Literally, sitting in the hot seat, he tried again. “Click, click.” Immediately he jumped to worstcase-scenario: it was the starter or the alternator. We wouldn’t get by with just a new battery. The cool treat tempered my response. I re-

membered our friends were still downtown and could give us a ride. I even recalled the correct cell phone number. Our friends kept us company and readily jump-started our car. Within mere minutes, we were on our way to the auto parts store. Soon, my husband’s mood turned a whiter shade of gray, and I started to think. I could have been stranded at any number of gas stations between home and Minneapolis, or missed appointments, or disappointed the kids. But the battery died when we were surrounded by friends, all together, and no deadlines were pressing. We even had snacks. A dead car battery is a blessing when it shows you how dependent you are on your friends and community and how dependable those friends and community are. But an AAA membership might be prudent.

Commentary By Krista Bocko “Idling gets you nowhere.” That’s the slogan of one of the many anti-idling campaigns cropping up across the country in an effort to curb voluntary idling in carpool lanes, an important message with school back in session. Why the anti-idling campaign? One vehicle by itself idling for a few minutes may not seem like a big deal, but multiply that by hundreds of cars, and throw in a bunch of school buses and a large student population, and that’s a lot of fumes to inhale. With the rise of asthma and allergies coupled with the fact that children’s lungs are still developing and are more susceptible to the polluting effects of their environment, that’s a great reason to raise awareness and be more diligent about reducing auto emissions. Not to mention the fact that they are smaller and, therefore, closer to the exhaust, inhaling more of it than adults. And that’s just the health aspect of it. There’s also the environmental impact. The cumulative effects of carbon dioxide be-

ing spewed into the atmosphere needlessly is preventable, as is the consequent wasting of fuel by sitting and idling unnecessarily. It’s estimated that Americans waste 2-3 million gallons of gas every day by voluntary idling. That’s also a lot of wasted money! I’ve spent my share of time in carpool lanes, and until the line is actually moving, I always, always cut the engine. Rule of thumb: if you’ll be idling for more than 10 seconds, turn it off. Obviously this doesn’t apply to being in traffic, but it does also apply to idling in carwash lines, concert lines, talking on the phone inside your vehicle in your driveway, and idling in any drive-up lane, including banks and fast-food drive-through’s. Are any area schools adopting this imperative campaign? Krista Bocko lives in “Old Town” Noblesville with her husband and four children.

Class information Fall art classes meet once a week, Sept. 6 through Oct. 22. Preschool, homeschool, youth, teen, high school, adult and private classes in a variety of media are offered.

Inspired by city’s growth and art scene, couple opens their home to others to ‘make art’ By Krista Bocko Current in Noblesville A sign prominently placed in front of the restored Italianate home at the corner of 10th and Hannibal Streets evokes a sense of whimsy and curiosity as to what this new artists’ space is all about. It’s called simply The Arthouse, and it’s where “art lives.” When William and Kandi Jamieson moved here from Boise, Idaho last fall they found this once-splendid structure in a dilapidated state, with not even a functioning kitchen. But the couple also recognized its potential. Creativetypes are like that, somehow always finding a way to bring something like a broken-down home with hidden charm back to life with love and hard work. Walking into the Arthouse one sees a light and airy studio space, with refinished hardwood floors and tall ceilings and light colors on the walls as sunlight pours in through the large windows. “We wanted a house in a safe neighborhood that was large enough to ‘suite’ a home, studio and classroom,” said Kandi, the mother of two children, Elizabeth, 5, and William, 1 1/2 “We really love the character in older homes. “We hope to refinish the front room for classroom space, and the garage loft for a studio space. We just want to have a great place where anybody can come and make art, like real unabashed, uninhibited expression.” Both Jamiesons are art graduates from Boise State, William in ceramics and Kandi in painting and drawing. William, originally from Noblesville, still has a lot of family here, one of the reasons for their relocation. The couple also liked the region’s central proximity to Chicago, Detroit, Louisville, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, all major metropolitan areas with plenty of “exhibition opportunities.”

www.youarecurrent.com

They were impressed with Hamilton County’s growth, and wanted to be a part of that development by educating others about art. “Rather than teaching technique or emphasizing a particular style, we dial in and focus on fundamentals of art, giving our students the tools to be confident, creative artists,” explained Kandi. The Jamiesons offer a wide range of classes including mixed media, clay, drawing and painting for all levels and ages. They promote reusing and recycling and desire to add an earth art class, based on artist and naturalist Andy Goldsworthy. It’s obvious that William and Kandi are passionate about what they do. “I love to see the students get excited about their creation,” said Kandi. “It’s thrilling for them and me to see this piece of art formed from their hands. It’s something they can call their own.” Adds William, who works extensively with adult students, “I like re-training them to ‘see.’ We practice drawing what we really see, rather than what we think we see. I enjoy that epiphany moment when the light bulb clicks above their head and they say, ‘Oh, now I see!’ ” The Jamiesons are excited about what they’ve seen of the art scene here, and have visions of bringing some of their ideas to life with the intent of making more art available and more often. “We love the Art Fair on the Square and the art display board at the library” Kandi mentions, “but I would love to see some public art, maybe a mural or two downtown. I’m interested in teaching a painting class with the opportunity to participate in painting a mural downtown, which is still in the works. “And we would really like to see alternative or extended dates on community arts celebrations though, not just on Friday night or Saturday.”

A full description of each class as well as pricing is available at www.arthousenoblesville.blogspot.com, or call 317.773.0038. Arthouse, 195 S. 10th Street, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Joy of exercise: it’s about feeling good physically and mentally FITNESS By April Conard A friend of mine had recently returned from vacation, and we were looking at pictures. It brought tears to my eyes. What I saw in those pictures took my breath away. She has always been a happy person with a bright smile, but now pure joy shone in her eyes. It wasn’t “Yeah, I’m on vacation” joy, but the joy of living life to the fullest. Awhile back, my friend had decided to get healthy. Joining a gym and making better food choices helped her change her body and improve her health. But more than that, it helped her change her quality of life. Before, she would have sat on the side lines and watched her children climbing rocks out to the lake. Or she would have huffed and puffed her way along the bike trail. I could see this new pride in her face as she told me she made it up this hill and still had plenty of steam to keep going. Since I have been exercising pretty much my whole life, sometimes I lose sight of what exercise really does. More than shedding a few

unwanted pounds, it is about taking care of yourself. It’s about you appreciating who you are and being happy with that. Fitness does more than make it easier for you to ride that bike uphill; it gives you that desire to ride. Sedentary people are more likely to be depressed and dislike themselves. Sure, my friend lost some weight, but the change I am talking about had little to do with her outward appearance. I saw this glow coming from inside. You probably have heard of endorphins. When you work out your endorphins sky rocket, making you happy. Who doesn’t want that? Seeing my pal now always makes me smile. She has a spring in her step and an even brighter smile. Thank you, friend, for letting me share in your journey and for reminding me why I do this.

Prevention is the key to good health HEALTH By Carol Rossetti, N.D. The best way to prevent disease is to establish and maintain a healthy immune system. Good health is more than merely the absence of disease. Good health means you have vibrancy, energy, and a healthy outlook on life. People are losing their jobs and their health insurance, and I am seeing an enormous influx of people wanting to get healthier to prevent disease. We have not done a good job in this country with respect to prevention. We have the best care in the world for trauma care. It is time for you to be looking at what you are responsible for – your own health. A great place to start is the diet; it is the cornerstone of health. Staying away from as much processed food as possible will improve your immunity. Grow as much of your own food as possible. If not possible, go to natural and organic foods. Proteins, fruits, and veggies should be your main diet.

Take a good vitamin and mineral combination – one that meets or exceeds dissolvability and free from a lot of nasty additives. Take vitamin D3 – adults that means 2,000 IU daily. D3 not only improves bone health but also improves immunity. Drink pure water not faucet water. Reverse osmosis or Kangen water removes all the heavy metals and leave us with healthy water. If you smoke, stop! There are some wonderful homeopathic remedies that will help you with the withdrawal and they do not have harmful side effects. Close family ties improves your health and your immunity. If you don’t have a close family, foster friendships that act as your family. Be safe, be healthy.

Being understood out of context COMMENTARY By David Cain I was on a plane three years ago, getting my carry-on out of the overhead bin. Just then, a gentleman from behind me stood up and, as we were crammed in the aisle, leaned forward and said to me, “You ride, man?” I looked at him awkwardly and slowly nudged forward in the aisle. He followed me out of the plane and asked in the corridor, “So, you got a bike.” I answered a polite “no” and kept moving. He fell back, disappointed by my lack of interest. Weeks later, it happened again. As I sat next to a man on the plane, he stated enthusiastically, “Do you ride?” I didn’t even really understand what he was asking me and didn’t want to pursue it, so I again responded with “no,” and we sat quietly the rest of the flight. A few weeks went by and, again, as I was leaving a meeting a man said, “You into bikes?” Now, that time I heard what he said. I answered, “Not really.” I mean I do have a nice mountain bike, but how would this gent know that? For more than a year I would get similar comments. I could never make the connection. Then one sunny day I was heading into a meeting. As I walked by a motorcycle in the parking lot, I caught a glimpse of the brand name on

the bike. It said Ducati. I glanced down and it was the same name sewn on my bag. I stopped in my tracks as 20 conversations over the last 18 months suddenly made sense. I had purchased this bag from Tumi and honestly never paid much attention to Ducati written on the side. For this entire time, I thought it was water. As it turns out, that’s Dasani, not Ducati. I thought my fashionable bag was subtly promoting water when, in reality, it was a magnet for conversations about fast bikes. Random men still approach me to discuss my bike and now I know what they’re talking about. There is a lesson here less subtle than the embroidered brand name on my bag. If there is a possibility that your brand name won’t make sense out of context (on a bag instead of a bike), you might consider putting some identification with it. For example, Tabor Law Firm by itself might not completely tell the story. However, Tabor Law Firm, your partner in life-changing injuries, tells you what they do. Are you understood out of context?

Current in Nobelsville Should the Indiana Constitution be changed to add the 1-2-3 Property Tax Cap Amendment? That’s the question Indiana voters will need to answer on the ballot Election Day Nov. 11, and the League of Women Voters Hamilton County wants to make sure voters have enough information to make an informed decision.

The LWVHA-sponsored event is from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., Sept. 14 at the Noblesville Public Library, 1 Library Plaza, off Cumberland Road. Larry DeBoer, of the Cooperative Extension Services and the Legislative Services Agency, will provide an overview regarding this amendment. Panel participants providing a perspective from their respective organization include: • Karl Berron, representing the Indiana Association of Realtors • Senator Luke Kenley, co-author of the Tax Cap Amendment • Brian Smith, representing the Fishers Chamber of Commerce • Craig Wood, representing the Farm Bureau of Hamilton County The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging informed and active participation in government.

Lost: Season Six and Complete collection

Not rated, 714 minute for season, 5,074 minutes for collection

The cast of “Lost” posed in a scene inspired by the famous Last Supper painting with Terry Quinn’s character John Locke taking the position of Jesus Christ in a promo photo for the final season.

DVDs By Chris Lloyd When it debuted in 2004, «Lost» was immediately recognizable as groundbreaking television. Here was a huge, high-budget network show with an excellent cast and an ambitious, sprawling narrative. Like millions, I was entranced by the riddle of a mysterious island on which a disparate group of passengers from Oceanic Flight 815 crash-land. The first season introduced us to a roster of engaging characters – stoic doctor Jack Shephard, escaped convict Kate Austen, tortured con man Sawyer, and tracker/holy man John Locke comprised the core of a cast that eventually numbered in the dozens – and slowly unveiled the layered mysteries of the island: Marauding jungle monster, crazy French scientist-turned-hermit, and a strange hatch buried in the ground. Also like many others, I felt the series lost its way in its second

The sixth and final season is now available as a collection, as well as a pricy series collection. I, for one, found the show›s conclusion to be a disappointing, not to mention predictable, variation on (spoiler ahead) the tired old «it-was-all-just-a-dream» deus ex machina.

By Ben Mezrich

Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin, two brilliant geeky nerds, become friends as Harvard undergrads and attempted to navigate the university social scene. They are better with computers and decide to create and launch a social networking Web site with the hope of accelerating their social life as much as start a business. The creation of Facebook took early imagination, genius and timing, whether it was by accident, a stolen idea and/or luck. Details focus on personal relationships, backstabbing and high drama rather than the technical and business aspects of a start up. This odd venture includes friendship and betrayal as well as questionable ethics and power; the result includes multiple lawsuits, bad feelings and the world’s youngest billionaire. The author begins his story by admitting that Zuckerberg refused all interviews – so the story is admittedly one-sided – but this does not take away from the entertaining, fast-paced glimpse into the founding of Facebook. A movie based on “The Accidental Billionaires” is in the works. Reviewed by Susan Wylin CCPL Reference Librarian

Mango tilapia: How sweet (and savory) it is RECIPES By Molly Herner Here is a fresh, end-of-summer dish that uses my favorite combination of tastes: savory and sweet.

vor, and the marinated fish maintains a savory balance. Molly Herner, is the baker/pastry chef at Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano. You may email her at odette05@ aol.com.

DIVORCE DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN WAR Ingredients • 2 large mango fruits • 1/2 red onion • 4 cloves garlic (2 for salsa and 2 for fish marinade) • 3 Roma tomatoes • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro • Juice of half a lemon • Juice of half an orange • 4 or 5 white fish/talapia fillets • Olive oil • Salt and pepper • Red pepper flakes Instructions 1. Mix together 1/2 cup of olive oil and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Add 2 cloves of garlic and a dash of salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. 2. Let the fish marinate in the mixture for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. 3. For the mango salsa, start by peeling the

mangoes and slicing only the soft fruit from the outside of the mango. The center of a ripe mango will be hard, kind of like a pineapple and not very tasty. 4. When you have sliced the fruit from the mango, dice it and mix it with the diced roma tomatoes, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 of a Spanish onion diced and finely chopped fresh cilantro. 5. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 an orange over the top and mix together thoroughly. 6. The fish can now be sauteed over medium heat in a bit of olive oil. Talapia will cook pretty quickly, maybe 3 to 5 minutes on each side. If you like a bit of a seared crust, let the pan heat up for a few minutes before you add the fish. The sear will happen fast, so keep an eye on the fish and flip it after about a minute.

Ingredients: • 1 1/2 oz. Smirnoff Orange Vodka • 1 oz. lemonade • 2 oz. cranberry juice

Directions: 1. Fill glass with ice. 2. Add Smirnoff Orange Flavored Vodka, lemonade and cranberry juice. 3. Stir well.

Following the same religious path makes marriage trail smoother SPIRITUALITY By Janna Lynas I read a great blog a couple of weeks ago that posed the question of whether or not two people should enter into an interfaith marriage. What followed was an incredible discussion on personal viewpoints dripping with Godly wisdom. But there were also heartbreaking accounts of loneliness and desperate prayers for a spouse who believed quite differently. For centuries people from different faith backgrounds and practices have married. For better or for worse couples choose to co-exist with a spouse who does not believe the same things about God, how the world was created or that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. On a personal level, I have family and friends who have entered into their marriage knowing they were not on the same page, religiously speaking. Their choices have not gone without consequence. Families have been rocked years later by children who suddenly chose to follow one parent and not the other or by extended family that feels their children have turned their back on

18 | August 24, 2010

their faith. What of God’s instruction not to be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14)? A yoke is a device that evenly matches oxen to pull a cart – in the same direction. Isn’t marriage hard enough even when you do agree on church, finances, child rearing and whether the toilet paper should roll over the top or under? (Over the top – right?) Because my faith is the foundation for my entire life, I can’t imagine my marriage being healthy and whole without agreement and likemindedness on what and who I believe God to be. Yes, an interfaith marriage can survive but I doubt if that was on the minds of those on their wedding day, to merely “survive.” Being married to someone of the same faith doesn’t make a marriage perfect, but it definitely helps if we start off headed in the same direction. 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.

On the road again: Travel journal records life’s journeys Geneaolgy By Darla Kinney Scoles Sixteen years ago my mother handed me a journal. The colorful cover featured charming cartoon characters waving from cruise ships, cars, trains and planes. Inside, blank pages beckoned me to capture the family vacation memories we would share over the years together. “Darla,” she wrote on the inside cover, “We hope your trip of 1994 will be a memorable time.” Our Christmas trip to Branson, Missouri was, indeed, a time to remember, reflected by the writings on the first several pages of the book. From the point of leaving in our pajamas to arriving back home to find the guinea pig running loose, that journal reveals the events that made up our special winter getaway. Everything from the smallest car-riding game detail to the huge fun of discovering that Santa really did know we were at Auntie Dawn’s house unfolded on those precious pages. A vacation journal is a creative and unique way to chronicle family history. While a day-to-day journal helps us record our lives as we live them in our routine, it is often left behind when we travel. Usually, we leave the vacation-keeping to

www.youarecurrent.com

the photo scrapbook. Who doesn’t love looking back over shots of mountain hiking or beachcombing? Many marvelous details, however, never make it onto those often sparsely-texted pages. Our travel journal includes not only notes from Mom, but entries from the kids and art sketched when days were not so exciting. The pages hold ticket stubs, brochures, post cards, and pieces of nature. And when we’re not sure what to write, prompts provide a great way to get started - and include information we might not think to share otherwise - like the most unexpected event of our trip or even the most interesting character we met along the way. Reading our travel journal is like being there all over again. 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 get their personal histories down on paper. Contact her at darlakinneyscoles@gmail.com

Watch your bleeping mouth in this house! Parenting By Michele Grossman As vigilant as you are about protecting your kids from bad language, sooner or later they will hear it, perhaps, in your own car when some distracted driver cuts you off. Maybe you can explain it away as “special language mommies and daddies use when other people are being stupid while driving.” I can’t get away with that because I use profanity more often than that. I do have a policy of using it only in front of family and close friends. After all, who knows better how to push your buttons? And I don’t use it in front of small children, who also know how to push my buttons, but look so darn cute while they’re doing it. My kids are all beyond small and have heard worse language than I use while riding on the school bus. For better or worse, children model the behavior of their parents. And while very young children lack the discernment to keep a whole category of words in check, older kids can and should learn the valuable concept of discretion, defined in one aspect as “the freedom to decide.”

20 | August 24, 2010

My co-worker Miss Julie introduced me to the concept of “discretionary language,” and I am forever grateful. It describes what most families do anyway. The older your kids get, the more freedom they have in their behavior and language. But they still need to observe the rules of the house. Sometimes my teenagers get a little carried away with their verbal freedom, as teenagers do. I remind them that profanity has more impact if it’s used sparingly. You may have an “Under No Circumstances” policy or an “If You Hit Your Thumb with a Hammer and No One Is Around” policy or a “Once in Awhile within the Hearing of Only Immediate Family” policy. That’s one of the perks of being a parent: you get to make your own bleeping rules. Michele Grossman is mother of three children who lives with her husband in Noblesville.

School’s in session; good time to shake things up at home fresh new look for your home. Here’s how: • REARRANGE. Often, it’s not something new you crave, but just a different look. Although new furniture can definitely give any home an instant change, rearranging what you already own within a specific room or transferring pieces from one room to another can make a huge difference. Move furniture into more interesting positions. Rather than the traditional line of furniture around the walls, try angling your large furniture pieces. You’ll love the difference an angle can make! • LIGHT IT UP. Nothing gives a room a brighter sparkle easier and faster than new lighting. Consider adding a new lamp or even a pair of them. Even replacing an old lampshade with something new and fresh can make a huge difference in brightening your room. • TAKE NOTES. If a whole new room is in your future, now is the time to plan. Save pictures of your favorite rooms – favorite things – favorite colors -- and make some notes as you study these photos. Ask yourself: “Why do I like this room?” “What would I change about it?” By including the answers to these questions in your decorating notebook, you’ll not only save a lot of valuable time, but if you hire a design professional, they will be thrilled with the thought you’ve given to your project.

HOME DECORATING By Sue Pelley The kids are back in school. Summer trips are a distant memory. And you’re finding yourself looking around your home think-

ing, “It’s time to do something. But what?” No matter how long you’ve lived in your home, it’s always fun to “shake things up a little bit” and give at least one room a fresh, new “facelift.” There’s no better time than now to think about a

Planting trees in the fall is shady business GARDENING By Holly Lindzy The most enjoyable part of summer quite possibly is relaxing in the shade of a mighty maple. Temperatures can be up to 20 degrees cooler in the shade, and since I haven’t a tolerance for oppressive heat and blinding sunlight, I yearn for the shelter of a great shade tree. Cool shade isn’t the only benefit these trees offer. Trees also absorb noise, provide privacy, improve aesthetics and shelter wildlife. Lucky for we obsessed gardeners, the trees drop leaves that can be shredded and composted or used as valuable mulch. There is no end to the benefits a healthy shade tree can offer us. The key is finding the right one, planting it correctly and caring for it properly. And fall is a great time to plant a tree. A shade tree is one that will likely reach a mature height of 40 feet or more. A tree will usually reach its mature height in 20-25 years, if it is happy where it is planted. Many types of oak do very well in Central Indiana. White oak (ouercus alba) is a particularly great choice for a shade tree and it grows rather quickly to boot. Oaks, of course, have acorns, which may be of some concern to a reader or two, but I like

www.youarecurrent.com

to think of them as food for the squirrels. You gotta love the squirrels! Maples top my list of favorite shade trees. The two best species, I think, being the red maple (acer rubrum) and the sugar maple (acer saccharum). Both have fabulous fall color, attractive shape and great hardiness. And how about that maple syrup, huh? Good stuff. One note of caution: steer clear of the silver maple (acer saccharinum) with its soft wood and multiple trunks, this tree is prone to splitting. It is also a prolific re-seeder, and it will have you yanking little maple trees out of your flowerbeds for ages. Unless you like that kind of stuff. For more information on tree selection and planting, contact the Hamilton County Purdue Extension office at 317.776.0854. There you will find a wealth of resources about planting in our region and before long, you’ll have it made in the shade, too.

Revolutionizing a view for one local homeowner REMODELING By Larry Greene INITIAL SITUATION: This home, located on Morse Reservoir in Cicero, included the original smaller kitchen and several interior walls that blocked the view to the water. The homeowner wanted to completely update the kitchen and, most importantly, come up with a new floor plan eliminating walls to give them a direct view to the water. DESIGN PHASE: The challenge for the design team was to figure out if it was feasible to remove the interior walls that blocked the water view. A structural engineer determined that the interior walls could all be safely removed since they were all deemed to be non-load bearing. Finally the existing 8’ high ceiling was replaced with a higher tray ceiling designed to make the room feel more spacious. PROJECT SCHEDULE: The design phase, including the structural engineering, took place over five weeks. Several floor plans were presented. The final design also incorporated changes to the adjacent laundry/mud room. The construction phase spread out over approximately eight weeks. FINAL PRODUCT: The owner decided to upgrade to semicustom premium alder cabinets with a nutmeg stain covered with a light brown highlight. The new cabinetry included a custom 30” wide range hood and decorative glass doors above the sink.

DISPATCHES » Does shampoo stop working? – If your mane starts misbehaving, don't fall for the shampoo-resistance rumor. Hair is dead and can't biologically adapt to shampoo. Even though your hair can't get "used to" you favorite shampoo, there are reasons to switch: You have buildup from heavy conditioners (use a clarifying shampoo occasionally); you started color or straightening (opt for moisturizing fomulas); of the weather changed (as your stylist for a seasonal routine). -www.prevention.com » Fall’s perfect bootie? - It may seem premature to suggest that this is the perfect boot for fall 2010, but Joie's San Francisco bootie goes with everything, has a reasonable four-inch heel, has a metal cap toe doubling the shoe’s lifespan, and considering it’s a well-made leather boot with brass detailing, it’s a steal at $375. Available at shopbop.com. -www.elle.com » Gold Leaf Eye Shadow – The Belmacz Blitz Gold Leaf Eye Shadow ($38) is a cream containing two leaves of pure 24-karat gold. Although it’s sold as makeup, it makes a subtle and chic body shimmer. A little goes a long way, too. One pot can last a whole summer even with frequent use. -www.style.com

Choosing the perfect area rug for your home INTERIORS By Vicky Earley The formula for determining the best size for an area rug is not going to be found in a geometry text book, nor is it an exact science. Because the type of room and furniture placement should factor into your decision, there are variables to consider. The first step is always to measure the space using a tape measure. One of the most common mistakes is to rely on a visual measurement of the space. A rug can look quite different in a store than at home. Company C, a manufacturer of colorful wool rugs, offers the following suggestions on the subject of size determination. Living or family room • It is recommended selecting a size that allows each piece of furniture to be completely on or off the rug. The exception to this rule is a sofa, because it is common for the back legs of a sofa to hang off the rug. • Make sure to account for any heating vents or doorways. • Depending on the usage of the room, you may want to consider traffic patterns. • If there’s a hearth in the room, consider purchasing another small rug for placement in front of the fireplace. • Coordinate the size of the rug with the size of your coffee table. • An 8x11 rug brings together most furniture groupings nicely. Dining and breakfast rooms • When selecting a room size rug for the dining room, you need to measure the length and width of your table. Don’t forget to include the table leaf if you use it frequently. • It is best when the rug is large enough so the back legs of the dining room chairs can be placed on it. This will avoid chair legs getting caught on the edge of the rug when guests are

pushing their chairs in and out. Bedroom • When measuring for a bedroom, you must first determine if you prefer one room size rug or several rugs around the bed. • When considering one room-sized rug, it should be large enough for you to take a step or two when getting out of bed. • If you have one bed centered in the room, you can place a rug at the foot of the bed and one on each side. If you have two beds in the room, you can add one more rug in between them. • This is the perfect place to play around with rug sizes. Try a round rug or a rectangular rug placed at a diagonal underneath the bed. Entry Way • Consider a material that can handle the high-traffic areas. • Wool has the advantage of lanolin, which is natural moisture repellant. • Make sure the door can open and close over the rug. Consider the thickness or pile height of the room. • If it’s a long hallway, you can also consider using two 5-foot runners. If you are computer literate, try their rug planner, which can be found at http://www.companyc.com/roomplanner.htm. If not, just tape the actual space out with low-tack painters tape. Your rug is the foundation for the remainder of the room, so planning is key!

Leather is all the rage this fall, seen at Fashion Week on stars such as Kristin Bell and Gwen Stefani. If full-body leather isn’t your thing, you can still rock an understated version. Stick to a leather headband, cuff or shoes to sport this trend.
