Around town

School spirit, cultural arts on display Friday By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Miller spirit will be on display downtown as Noblesville prepares for its Homecoming game. From 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, the city’s I HEART Noblesville series will return with a new focus on the “Heart of Culture.” From visual art and music to food, fun and team spirit – this First Friday event will be like no other hosted throughout the year. “October says fall weather and football get-togethers,” said Mayor John Ditslear. “With an amazing amount of activiShonkwiler ties taking place at the beginning of the month, there is no better way than to showcase how things work together in this community. The culture of Noblesville is abundant and this event embraces all that one can do in just a few hours.” The theme of the I HEART CULTURE event is “Tailgate Your Talent.” Local artists, artisans, and restaurants will participate in the event by tailgating their specific craft/talent on the sidewalks of Noblesville’s downtown square. The community is invited to experience art in all forms—visual, musical and taste. “We’re trying to bring school spirit back to downtown merchants. It’s the perfect time to do something like this with all the people coming down to the Homecoming parade,” said Noblesville Economic Development Specialist Alania Shonkwiler. “We’re playing Westfield so they have to come through downtown Noblesville to get to the game.” Shonkwiler said more than 30 downtown windows will be decorated for homecoming by Noblesville Schools’ student groups.

A few additional windows may be open and anyone interested should contact Shonkwiler at 776-6345. Painting will take place Wednesday and Thursday and Miller Backers will judge the windows and award prizes Friday. The event will follow the Noblesville High School homecoming parade and end just before the screening of the movie “Ghostbusters” on the northeast side of the courthouse lawn. The Heart of Culture and First Friday events will include: • Tailgate Your Talents festival – artist and artisan work on display and available for purchase. • Barley Island Beer Garden – local beer tasting, including the Nickel Plate Wheat made for the new Nickel Plate Arts Campus in downtown Noblesville. • Matteo’s Streetside Wine Tasting – a taste of Italy on the square. • Young at heART Paint Station – create your own art by “free painting” on a large canvas banner. • Kids’ Fall Fun – Main Street presents pumpkin decorating and hayrides. • Spirit Window Art Display – NHS student groups sharing visual spirit through painting of downtown merchant windows. • Nickel Plate Arts Campus Open House – the newly renovated Judge Stone House building at 107 S. 8th Street will be open for tours. Shonkwiler said admission to this event is free and open to the community. Artist wares as well as food and beverage will require purchase with specific costs determined at artists’ and merchants’ discretion. For additional information regarding the event, contact Shonkwiler at 776-6345 or ashonkwiler@noblesville.in.us.

Roberts grand marshal of Xmas parade

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Mayor John Ditslear has announced that the grand marshal of this year’s Christmas parade will be Don Roberts. Roberts is a Navy veteran and a retired teacher from Noblesville High School. He also has served for several years as Santa Claus. For many years, the Santa house on the downtown Noblesville courthouse square was an annual tradition. After an absence of it for several years, Roberts told the Hamilton County Historical Society that he would build a new Santa house, donate it to the organization and serve as Santa. The Hamilton County Commissioners approved the request to have the house on the courthouse square in 2001. True to his word, Roberts built the house and has served as one of the Santas each year since then. “Many people in Noblesville are grateful to Don for the guidance he provided to them as a teacher,” said Ditslear. “There is another, younger generation of people who don’t know Don as himself but only as ‘Santa’ and that group of young people is equally as grateful to him.” In another nod to Noblesville tradition, Santa in this year’s Christmas parade will be played by Noblesville resident Garrick Mallery, who played Santa in the inaugural Noblesville Christmas parade in 1962. For the 50th anniversary of that parade, the city is pleased to have

Plain talk Banning words from my vocabulary COMMUNITY

Commentary by Krista Bocko

I’ve decided to stop using the word “nice.” Over the past few weeks I’ve realized that I can’t stand the word, and can’t think of an instance in which it has any real meaning. “What do you think of this paint color?” “Oh, it’s nice.” Translation: I could take it or leave it. Meh. Or how about, “I met so-and-so today. She’s ok. She’s nice.” Translation: I can’t think of anything else to say, so I’m falling back on the nice neutral word “nice.” One more: your child is talking and you’re only half listening, so when they pause you nod and murmur, “oh, that’s nice.” You’ve totally tuned them out (I know because I’ve done it). What the heck? No more for me! Nice is a boring word. It’s a word that reminds me of a living room full of beige tones on the walls, beige curtains, beige carpet, and perfectly coordinated and fluffed beige pillows. In other words, snoooooze. Can’t we punch it up a little in here? How about a

lime green throw rug or something? I want descriptive words. I want words that have real meaning. Isn’t that why we love those books that draw those amazing word pictures and you sigh and go “yeah, that’s awesome.” (Here’s another dilemma though – “awesome” is over-used too. Ugh). Anyway, I guarantee those writers aren’t using the word “nice.” Instead of “nice”. . . how about actually being descriptive? What about using something like: brilliant, vibrant, dull, detailed, meticulous, driven, focused, sharp, wishy-washy, peppy, magnificent, agreeable, kind, enthusiastic, witty, cavalier …or whatever you come up with. I guess it comes down to this – get creative with your speech to say what you really mean, and maybe that means you’ll banish “nice” from your vocabulary, too.

Chamber prepares for fourth Cash Mob By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Chamber of Commerce will host another opportunity for residents to join its cash mob trend from noon to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9. “We’re hoping for a nice crowd. Everyone gets to take a lunch break,” said Mary Noble. “There will be a special offer for people coming through.” The exact location of the next cash mob will not be announced online at the chamber’s facebook page until Monday, but Noble said the hint is “fasten your seatbelt, details are rolling your way.” A cash mob is a spin-off of the “flash mob” Noble where a group of people converge on a location and do something in unison. The cash mob is a large crowd of consumers that show up at a local business and spend a little money, usually $10 to $20 each, to help a local business. The Noblesville Cash Mob was organized by the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce as a new avenue for the Chamber and the community to continue supporting local businesses that choose to invest in Noblesville. “Events are all promoting buying local,” said Noble. “ Cash mobs in Noblesville began on March 27 at Linden Tree. Since then, two additional ones have been held at Heavenly Sweets in April and Mr. G’s Liquor in May. The Noblesville Chamber has planned a fifth cash mob event in November.

$1M scratch-off purchased in Hamilton Co. editorial@youarecurrent.com Electrician Kevin Mars of Shirley, Ind., was just going about his day Sept. 20 when he stumbled into the shock of his life. He had stopped for a bottle of water at a Ricker’s convenience store in Carmel when he purchased a Hoosier Lottery Scratch-off worth $1 million! Mars scratched the ticket in his truck. “My adrenaline was flowing,” he said. “I felt euphoric. I thought ‘this isn’t happening.’” But it was happening, and Mars did the smartest thing he could have done. “First thing I did was I flipped it over and signed Mars it,” said Mars. As he claimed his prize money Sept. 21 at Hoosier Lottery Headquarters in Indianapolis, Mars talked about his intention to proceed cautiously and slowly. He doesn’t know exactly what he’s going to do with his winnings, but he is seeking advice and is certain of one thing he is not going to do. The 53-year-old electrician of 28 years is not going to quit working anytime soon. “Once we come down out of the clouds, we’ll figure out what we want to do. We don’t want to jump into anything hastily,” said Mars. “I’m sure my lifestyle isn’t going to change. I’m not going to allow it.” Mars purchased his Lucky Millionaire ticket at Ricker’s at 1850 E.151st St., Carmel.

Cover Story

Belfry opens 2012-2013 season with Pulitzer Prize winning play ‘State of the Union’ By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Theatre Guild wants you to cast your vote in favor of its 2012-2013 season opener, “State of the Union” – a sharp challenge to all Americans who are interested in the kind of government they’re getting and the kind of government they think they deserve. “Anyone who believes in the U.S., our political system and the right to vote really has to see this show,” said Director Carla Crandall. “It says everything we are supposed to do – look at the candidates, be aware of where our country is at right now, and vote.” “State of the Union” is a satirical look at political ambition, moral principles and romantic intrigue. Set in 1948, the play follows Republican candidate Grant Mathews as he prepares his presidential run. “It’s a lot of fun pontificating without the real stress of people coming to me,” joked Gavin Rulon, who plays the lead character in his seventh Belfry performance. Several special interests compete for Mathews’ attention on the campaign trail and he begins to struggle with the issues of politics and principles. But he finds comfort in his estranged wife, Mary, who has been brought in for use as a campaign prop – and turns out to be the voice of reason. “Grant’s character is very committed to his cause but it erodes over the course of the first and second acts as he begins to worry about what is best to get him elected,” said Rulon. “Mary is his compass – the hero. She’s the moral compass for everyone else. It’s neat to be a character influenced by her.” With politics in the air and Americans prepare to elect the leader of the next four years, the actors believe now is the perfect time and setting for the production. “It’s the best time to have this play,” said Barb Weaver, who plays Mary Mathews. www.currentnoblesville.com

Grant Mathews (Gavin Rulon), center, contemplates his next political move as Kay Thorndyke (Tonya Fenimore) and Jim Conover (Duane Leatherman) wait to hear this thoughts. “You’re never going to see a change in how politics work until the consumer demands it,” Rulon added. While the play was written in 1946, “State of the Union” is still relevant for contemporary audience. Weaver said the play has made her more aware of the faults in the system. “It’s sort of sad and amazingly it’s still relevant,” said Weaver, who is acting in her seventh Belfry show. “It still has the same political issues today. It speaks to the moment – what’s happening right now. There are a lot of layers to it,” added longtime Belfry actor Duane Leatherman, who said he enjoys the show’s rich characters. “I love the (Jim) Conover role. He’s a manipulator but has a soft side he shares with Mary,” he said.

The play has also given its actors a chance to reevaluate their beliefs on the political system. “I’ve voted Democrat and Republicans in my

lifetime,” said Rulon. “I try to look at the candidate and what they are saying.” “There are a few honest men, but not enough,” added Leatherman. “Democrat or Republican, everyone is out for the own special interests. They can’t look beyond their own agenda.” Crandall has dedicated the show to the memory of Jane Campbell – two of them. Frances Jane Campbell was an enthusiastic patron of the Belfry and served as the secretary for many years until her death in February. Jane Campbell was a founding member of the Belfry with her husband, Frank. Crandall was asked for years to direct this show by Jane Campbell before her passing in 2008. “I revisited the script and realized why she wanted me to do this show,” Crandall said. Crandall said the show “holds true today as well as when it was written.” She likes how the playwrights make the audience look at themselves and politics. “You don’t need to be a Democrat or Republican to come watch this show,” said Crandall. “We have a wonderful cast, a dedicated cohesive group of people who see the value of informing the public as well as entertaining them.”

Opinion Some key questions for President Obama

War on Walley World It is our position that the war waged on super giant retailer Walmart, by Zionsville preservationists may be a lingering battle. Recently, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. filed revised plans to build a smaller, more attractive store along Michigan Road, north of 106th Street on the Hamilton-Boone county line. The Zionsville Plan Commission is set to consider the proposal at its Oct. 15 meeting. However, aspiring Walmart Greeters, don’t put on your bright red vests just yet.

The fight has been going on for six years now and has spawned two lawsuits, one by Walmart claiming that there is no valid reason a store should not be built in the area. While Zionsville is not immune to mega retailers with a host already doing business in the area, Village preservationists and local retailers have been dragging their feet for good reason. Perhaps the aberration is Walmart’s reputation for being a “small town killer,” putting smaller retailers out of business by using bulk purchasing to offer low prices on its goods and services. Regardless of which side wins the war, here’s hoping that the Village of Zionsville remains a peaceful respite from generic strip malls and the mega-store grind. Let originality reign.

In visiting a new tailor recently to have a button repaired on a suit, the no doubt well-intentioned seamstress suggested ever-sopolitely that they offered a service that would narrow lapels and generally bring a “quality suit back into fashion.” It was one of those moments where one is both complimented and insulted. She has, albeit in a backhanded way, suggested that there must have been some good taste and desire for superior fabric and construction in me – even though it was hard to see behind lapels that one could only imagine must be reminiscent of Dumbo’s ears. A suspicious nature might lead one to conclude that the purveyor was simply looking to enhance the revenue from a modest repair to a complex alteration. But after a look in the ubiquitous mirrors lining the walls of the establishment, it was clear, even to an aging eye, that she was more sympathetic than rapacious. So after agreeing to the new cut, delivery

and some small talk, I returned to my day reminded that even as time marches on, the details of our lives – once finely honed and completely intentional – can begin to say something entirely different about us. From one perspective, there is a measure of success in that the suit still fits, that it was of such quality as to last for a span measured in decades and that the value based per wearing had exceeded all expectations. Yet from another’s take, it appeared tired, at best, quaint. The tailoring, while classic, seemed dated and nostalgic. Did it reflect the attitude of its wearer? Like so many passing moments if we stop to consider them fully, we realize that the meaning may be greater than imagined. Is it time to look at the cut of our lives and perhaps adjust a little?

“My expectation is that if you want to be president, you have to work for everyone, not just for some.” – President Barack Obama, during taping of “The Late Show” with David Letterman. That comment by the commander in chief came in response to Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s comments at a private fundraiser. We found the president’s comments quite interesting, if not begging of certain questions. Such as: • Was the president thinking of everyone when he bailed out General Motors to save union jobs (one of his most important sources of financial support) while crushing bond holders, which, in effect, broke American bankruptcy laws? • Was he thinking of everyone when he granted all the ObamaCare waivers to, among others, union members? (For a complete list of those abdications, go to: www.freerepublic.com/ focus/f-chat/2900475/posts.) In case you’re counting, the list now is up to 1,231 companies, give or take. According the Health and Human Services Dept., ObamaCare waivers excuse about 4 million people. • Was he thinking of all entrepreneurs when he gave more than half a billion dollars of taxpayer money to Solyndra? Remember Solyndra, the solar-panel company? When government picks winners and losers, we know for whom the loser’s bell tolls. It’s we taxpayers. The president was just lucky that the “journalist” involved in this exchange was David Letterman. But, let’s face it: Would the questioning have been any tougher had Andrea Mitchell of NBC had been the interviewer? ••• As Columbus Day is Monday, next week’s Current will be delivered to you this Saturday.

VIEWS

Opinion

Life-changing objects I've discovered Commentary by Danielle Wilson This has been a great year for me. Why? Three discoveries that have quite literally changed my life. And because I am a giving person, I’ll now share them with you, my fine friends. Sperry Topsiders Yes, they are a bit expensive ($70) and yes, they can make already big feet look gi-normous (think clown shoes), but God bless them, these shoes will change your life. When my dogs hurt, I get cranky, see, and when I get cranky, ain’t nobody happy. But I often want something a little dressier than my black and pink Sauconys. Enter the Sperry Intrepid. These leather and mesh topsiders are like baby kisses for your feet, with just enough support to make crisscrossing Kings Island or hiking a shale mountain perfectly enjoyable. Plus, they’re stylish. You’ll look like you just stepped off your yacht, even in Indiana. Get them wet, leave them on a beach, accidentally run over them in your van . . . no problem! They’ll beg for more and look good doing it. Simply amazing footwear. Wireless Headphones Admittedly, I have control issues, particularly when it comes to bedtime. I demand complete darkness, silence except for my sound machine, and a room temperature that would make polar bears shiver. My husband, Doo, as cruel Fate would have it, must watch television to fall asleep, breaking two of my carefully constructed sleep “requirements.” I can combat the light by wearing a mask and burrowing under two pillows but can never completely drown out the sound. I can’t tell you how many fights this has caused. Until . . . wireless headphones! They have changed my life! Now Doo can watch whatever he wants for however long, and I can’t hear a stinking thing. I get to sleep and he gets to veg. It’s a win-win, and for $37, far cheaper than counseling.

Real People

The Effect of ADHD in the Marriage Another miracle available for purchase and cheaper than a shrink is this book. Even if you or your spouse does not have ADHD, it will change your life. “The Effect of ADHD” is basically an inside look at how opposite personalities can create strong relationships but can also cause tons of problems. When my husband and I read through it this summer, we kept saying “That’s us!” or “That sounds exactly like your brother!” You will relate to almost every scenario and situation presented, if not in your own household, in those of your friends and family. And though the author doesn’t give answers, she offers techniques for resolving differences effectively and for celebrating even the most annoying habits (watching television in bed). Again, you’re welcome. Peace out.

Noblesville School Board leadership must change Editor, Did you know that the school board met for an all day working session on September 7th? Did you know what was on their agenda? If the answer is NO, you are not alone. At this meeting the school board discussed very important topics such as the 2013-2020 Strategic Plan, capital improvements, and other issues impacting our school system. This meeting wasn’t posted anywhere on the district website. There was no agenda available. Dr. Conner and President Jane Barr felt compelled to invite the school board candidates but apparently didn’t feel that the residents/taxpayers of Noblesville needed to know. Though they didn’t break the law this time (unlike earlier this year), the board and superintendent did the bare minimum to comply. On Sept. 18, the board “rubber stamped” several of those items decided on Sept. 7. They did so knowing a majority of board seats will be filled in the upcoming election and without ever showing a slide or having a discussion. Six days

later, the board and Dr. Conner finally decided make public all the decisions they made on Sept. 7. Unfortunately, and yet again, the school board continues to make real decisions outside of the public view and use their board meetings to approve. If you haven’t seen the decisions, I would encourage you to look at them and ask questions like – Why? They are important to us. It’s tough to hold these members accountable during election time if they don’t share enough information to judge their performance before decisions are made. Perhaps that’s the goal. Hopefully, the school board will decide to publish some of reasoning behind these important decisions and maybe some actual data. There certainly wasn’t any provided during the meeting last week. Regardless, the residents deserve vastly better transparency and accountability from this school board and Dr. Conner. If they won’t commit to change, maybe it’s time for a change.

Stonycreek Farm celebrates 40th Pumpkin Harvest Festival By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com What began as a small pumpkin patch in 1972 has grown into a full-service nursery and landscaping business. Harvest season is now celebrated each year on the 1860’s Stonycreek Farm, 11366 Ind. 38 East, Noblesville. This year marks the 40th Annual Stonycreek Farm Pumpkin Harvest Festival which runs now to Oct. 31. “We now have third generation families picking their own pumpkins. We take great pride in seeing children find their first pumpkin in our fields,” says Loren Schmierer, owner of Stonycreek Farm. The 40th anniversary marks a first in Stonycreek history. Because of this summer’s drought, Stonycreek Farm has germinated pumpkins in greenhouses in preparation for the annual event. The seedlings were then planted in the field and maintained with a water truck. Thanks to a proactive germination program, the farm hopes to yield 50,000 pumpkins despite extreme drought conditions. Pumpkins aren’t the only attraction at the festival. Once again, the zip line is expected to be a crowd pleaser. The cost is $15 per person for anyone age 10 and up who weighs between 90 pounds and 250 pounds. In honor of the anniversary, those turning 40 years old during the month of September or October get a free zip line ride (with valid ID). The zip line sails across the Christmas tree field, over a pond and gives riders a spectacular view of the hayride wagons heading out to the field. The ride is approximately 400 feet long and is 40 feet high in some places. The festival includes entertainment for “kids” ages 8-80. Have you ever wondered what a grain grinder looks like? A new educational program will feature antique farm equipment where visitors can learn about the use of various vintage farm equipment. Other highlights include hayrides to the pumpkin patch, a haunted house, the gourd sling shot, corn cob cannon, Kiddiepillar (inflatable), candle making, farm animals, and more. Kids can take pony rides and talk with a blacksmith, as well as jump in a giant straw mound and play at the playground. Most activi14 | October 2, 2012

Review

‘All that jazz’ and more at Beef & Boards Commentary by Hope Baugh “Chicago” is perhaps a steamier show than Beef and Boards audiences are used to. The costumes are skimpier, the language more raw. However, the quality of dancing and singing is some of the best I’ve ever experienced there. And it is, after all, a show about murderesses fighting for the media spotlight during Prohibition. Deb Wims plays Roxie Hart, a bored housewife who kills her unfaithful lover in a jealous rage. Marisa Rivera plays Velma Kelly, a glamorous burlesque performer who catches her boyfriend in bed with her co-star sister and kills them both. Roxie and Velma meet in prison, where they fight over handsome, hot shot lawyer Billy Flynn (Curt Dale Clark.) He sings that all he “cares about is love” but really all he cares about is his $5,000 fee. If all this sounds tawdry, it is. You don’t go to this show to find role models. It is also sexy and scandalous. I grinned the whole time, though, because this show both titillates and pokes fun at titillation. I also grinned because even the “smaller” performances are treats. Alene Robertson as corrupt prison matron Momma Morton, M. J. Austin as flighty reporter Mary Sunshine, and Eddie Curry as cellophane husband Amos Hart, all make their famous roles their own in delightful ways. The ensemble of nine back-up singers-

dancers is solidly attractive and talented, too. And those skimpy costumes I mentioned earlier? Gorgeous. (Designed by Kurt Alger.) I wouldn’t take children to this show but it is definitely a swell night out for adults who are looking for a bit of high quality sizzle “and all that jazz.” “Chicago” continues at Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre through Sunday.

Don't fear your sweet tooth

Almost everyone I know has a sweet tooth, but these same people want to eat a more healthy diet. For some people, the scariest part of starting off on a new, healthier way of eating is the idea of giving up their favorite sweet treats -- forever! So let’s rethink the idea that all candy is bad for you. Jean Lawrence writes on MedecineNet.com, “Don’t despair. Sweets can be part of a healthy, lifelong eating pattern. But for the least harm and -- don’t forget this -- the fullest enjoyment, they should be eaten in moderation. That means in small amounts or only a couple of times a week”. Since tailgating for football is generally only once a week, we can eat candy at our tailgate party. Now here’s even better news for chocolate lovers, Everyday Health’s Stephanie Sy tells us that a recent study finds that dark chocolate is actually good for your heart. So don’t be afraid to make everyone happy by serving them candy. Here’s a great candy treat for your next tailgate party, even if you aren’t from Ohio. Buckeyes

Wellness Younger adults seeking new answers for joint pain

HEALTH

Commentary by R. Michael Meneghini, MD Hip and knee replacement surgery has traditionally been associated with older adults – those beyond age 65. Today, however, people in their 50s and even 40s are considering joint replacement surgery to relieve pain so they can stay active, continue their favorite activities and maintain their quality of life. To serve this emerging younger population, extensive research is ongoing to design cuttingedge orthopedic implants that are durable, have improved bearing services and that will minimize risks and side effects. On the surgical side, techniques such as navigation technology, which monitors the position and alignment of the implant in relation to the patient’s anatomy, achieve improved mobility and range of motion for patients. Today, some 90 percent of knee replacements are expected to last 20 years or more. And, although hip and knee replacements are arguably two of the most successful surgeries in medicine, they are still invasive procedures accompanied by risks. For people of all ages, the best ways to prevent degenerative joint disease and the need for joint replacement surgery is to stay physically fit and to maintain a healthy weight. Excessive weight puts undue pressure on the joints,

causing degeneration. However, if joint pain and discomfort are already an issue, seek out a reputable orthopedic surgeon and schedule a consultation. (I discourage patients from using the internet as a resource, as it contains a lot of inaccurate and misleading information. Consult with a qualified and experienced orthopedic specialist instead.) After taking a complete medical history, the surgeon will perform an exam and order x-rays of the affected joints for evaluation. The x-rays will show the extent of cartilage loss and help determine whether joint replacement surgery is an immediate remedy or an option that should be considered down the road. The surgeon will also discuss how the joint pain impacts quality of life. In nearly all cases, orthopedic specialists will try non-operative treatments first – medication, injections and/or physical therapy. When warranted, hip and knee replacement surgery helps patients return to the activities and lifestyles they enjoy. R. Michael Meneghini, MD, specializes in orthopedic surgery. He is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Orthopedics & Sports Medicine – Saxony, 13100 E. 136th St., Ste. 2000, in Fishers. He can be reached by calling the office at 688-5980.

Killing flies and taking names Commentary by David Cain

I find flies especially irritating. Like a friendly dog that wants to explore you entirely, they are the great intruder of personal space. Unlike the friendly dog however, the fly gets into all kinds of unsavory places and in my mind the fly is indelibly linked to and a symbol of all things dirty. Only the roach comes to mind as nastier than the fly, an overreaction I’m sure. As summer draws to a close, my outdoor activities have increased allowing the fly to take his rightful seat at the throne as king of irritations. Again, I completely understand that I’m on the verge of being considered a germ freak, but the fly is an irritating fellow. You can swat and swipe at them and they still find a way to land on your food or the rim of your drink again and again. Efforts to ignore them go unfulfilled. And, even if you don’t share my opinion of their nastiness, most would agree they are irritating. The proof, most people kill them. For me, the fly also represents a business analogy. This seemingly inconsequential little guy, so tiny you’d like to ignore him, can spoil a party. Consider a cookout. Lots of people, drinks, fun,

kids running about, laughter and smiles. There he sits, the fly with a dozen buddies crawling all over the food and drinks while people talk. You shoo him. He lands on someone’s forehead. You shoo him again, he moves to your arm then to your drink then to your plate. The fly is a relentless, determined spoiler. He always wants to disrupt your party, mildly irritate people, and he’s only interested in himself. Little things can ruin the entire experience. It takes a lot of work to prevent the little irritations in the daily experience of your customers, too. It’s a lot of work to get rid of the flies in your business. I am consistently on the lookout for flies. I’m the flyswatter or at least the fly spotter. Always working to prevent having flies, spot them quickly when they enter the scene, and immediately escort them out of our business party. After all, too many flies are a signal that something must be rotten.

Beck’s Hybrids expands R&D in Kentucky editorial@youarecurrent.com Beck’s Hybrids, a family-owned and operated seed company headquartered in Atlanta, Ind., has announced a site purchase in Henderson, Ky. The 150-acre property is Beck’s first permanent location in the state. Plans for the new property include building a distribution center, conducting Practical Farm Research studies, operating the southern Choice Trials program, as well as providing farmers with educational and agronomic support. “We are excited to officially extend our heritage into Kentucky to better serve farmers in our southern marketing area,” said Sonny Beck, president of Beck’s Hybrids. “Located just east of Henderson near the intersection of Interstate 69 and the Audubon Parkway, this long-term investment will allow us to better deliver the best performing seed products to farmers in Kentucky, Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois.” In an effort to enhance product performance

in farmers’ fields, Beck’s released the Choice Trials program in February 2012 that will provide farmers with more products tailored for their specific growing condition. Beck’s also conducts PFR studies that are designed with the farmer in mind. Different management practices and new technologies are researched to determine how they perform in varying field environments. Farmers in Kentucky, Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois can expect to tour the PFR studies by the 2013 growing season. Beck’s has also committed to providing one $2,000 scholarship to a high school senior from this region that will be attending college. The scholarship will be awarded each year for the next five years. “At Beck’s we are dedicated to the success of our customers,” said Scott Beck, vice president of Beck’s Hybrids. “Our goal is very simple. Provide our customers with the best choices in genetics and traits as well as agronomic support and service. With the new location, we’ll not only be able to deliver products faster, but it will allow us to continue growing into the future.”

Fun facts about Tahiti Commentary by Tracy Line

For me, one of the best parts of being a travel agent is learning about various destinations. Recently I’ve been studying Tahiti and French Polynesia. Here are some fun facts about this South Pacific destination: Geography. The islands of French Polynesia are half way between Los Angeles, CA and Australia/New Zealand. There are 118 islands, spanning 1.5 million square miles. There are 5 island groups: the Society, Marquesas, Australs, Tuamotu and Gambier islands. The Society Islands are the most visited, and include Tahiti, Moorea, Bora-Bora, Taha’a, Huahine and Raiatea. Climate. The average air temperature is 79 degrees and the water averages 80 degrees. The seasons are reversed, so summer runs from November to March, and winter is from April to October. Hurricanes are a rare occurrence. The island landscape is lush, with low-lying coral reefs and mountain peaks offering incredible ocean views. Details. Tahiti is the largest and most populated of the islands. US visitors typically fly into Papeete, the island’s capitol, which is an 8-hr flight from LA. Hopper flights and ferries will take you to the other outlaying islands. The official languages are French and Tahitian, though English is widely spoken. Tahitian time is 2 hours behind PST (6 hrs behind Indiana’s current time).

Unique offerings. French Polynesian is known for it’s beautiful black and white sand beaches and calm, electric blue water, perfect for snorkeling and diving. You can experience the Polynesian culture, which dates back to 300 AD, by exploring stone temples, observing Tamure (Tahitian dance) and tasting the local cuisine. Visitors can also tour the unique black pearl and vanilla bean farms. Visiting the French Polynesian islands is definitely a treat, one that comes with a higher price tag. However for those seeking the ultimate getaway, perhaps in an over the water hut, these islands will not disappoint. Tracy Line is a travel writer and agent, and the owner of Noblesville Travel.

Genealogy ‘I’d forgotten all about that!’ – Part 2 LIFESTYLE

Commentary by Darla Kinney Scoles

While compiling a personal history, we find that some memories come to the forefront of our minds spontaneously, randomly and frequently as we go about our daily lives. Others must be coaxed and cajoled out of the recesses of our psyche with the help of a variety of tools. Two such useful devices exist at opposite ends of the technology spectrum. Last week I wrote about how thinking back on the places and people in our lives can help us remember our past. Picturing the details of these memories often helps us recall more than we had previously about a particular time in our lives, enabling us to document our personal histories completely. When we hit a “dry spell” in our memory searching, however, or to spark remembrances of certain times past, we can look to one very familiar resource – the daily newspaper. Scrolling through archives of your local paper (the more local, the better) provides us with the stories of our day and an amazing number of details as well. Even if we weren’t the subject of the newspaper story, it affected our life – sometimes in a significant way. Looking back on such events, with the

advantage of the passage of time, helps us to realize just how much they may have shaped our future. To view newspaper archives from your home town, contact the local library. Some are available online, but often, access is limited to archived microfilm, which can often be checked out. The more recent popularity of social media can provide a second method to jar loose happenings lost along our personal timeline. Facebook groups, such as “Growing Up In Orlando Before Disney” allow those who join to share remembrances of a place and time with others. One story often sparks another and the layers of detail from those who add to the posts can be quite interesting and informative. Try searching Facebook for a group from your home town. Just because we can’t remember everything from our childhood, doesn’t mean those memories are lost. Tools exist to help us get the stories back – and get them right.

FREE CONSULTATION with a member of our Dream Team! ($50 value)

Your gorgeous girl will be doing all sorts of primping and pampering to look amazing on your big day. Guys should get out there and get pampered and cleaned up for the big day too. Here are our top three tips on what to do leading up to your big day, with enough time left to possibly still hit the links the morning of your vows: 1. Make sure your hair is trimmed and neat. Schedule your haircut 4-5 days before the big day. Ask your stylist for product recommendations and styling tips so you are sure to look your best. 2. Are your hands and feet in need of some serious attention? Even if you have never tried

BRIDE TO BE You have your dress…you have your jewelry…you have your shoes, but don’t forget about your most important accessory of all…your hair! This year, brides are opting for down and loose looks rather than the perfectly sculpted up-do. Show your carefree side by sporting a messy chignon, or long and loose curls. You will be sure to love these new and improved popular bridal styles! You can also glam up your “do” with hair accessories. Crystal brooches from your grandmother can serve as your “something old,” while a French twist accented with sparkling hair pins will look like you stepped right off the red carpet. If you are still unsure of the style you want for your big day, be sure to consult with your stylist. Trained stylists are able to take into account the feel of your wedding and your dress style and customize a look to complement the overall feel of the event. They are able to suggest the perfect “do” so you can say “I do.”

S a l o n

it, a manicure and pedicure may be in order. Schedule your manicure and pedicure 2-3 days before the wedding to be sure your nails are in photographic condition for the pics of your new ring. 3. And, even if you have avoided most of the wedding planning load, the approaching day can bring on some stress! Relax, and enjoy a nice massage the day before you walk down the aisle.

BANG, BANG! Watching the red carpets and flipping through fashion mags is a great way to find out what is in vogue. Over the past couple months, one of the main hair fashions seen on style icons is bangs. While bangs may be popular amongst celebs, how do you know if they are right for you? Bangs are high-maintenance, but can be a great asset to your style. Bangs are great for large foreheads. They also best suit faces with strong features. For delicate facial features, be sure not to get lost behind excessively thick bangs. If you have curly or thick hair, be careful that your bangs are not too short. They may have a tendency to stand on end if not cut to the right length. For your best bet, consult with a Salon 01 stylist who is trained in understanding facial shapes and hair texture. Remember: it is important to keep your bangs at an appropriate length. They need to be trimmed by a professional about every 2-4 weeks.

Look-alike syndrome Commentary by Jordan Fischer There are approximately 500,000 words in the Oxford English Dictionary, and the list of words which didn’t make the cut is easily that amount over again. It’s an abundance writers take advantage of, certainly. For example, if I want to say that I’m sweaty, I have some options: clammy, perspiring, sudoric, diaphoretic, soaked, damp, dripping, etc. With all those words to choose from, you’d think we’d have no problem steering words with similar meanings away from similar pronunciations and spellings … but no; that would be too easy. This week, in celebration of the pain this causes many editors (and I’m sure just about everyone trying to learn English as a second language), I present four word pairs that should just go their separate ways. Adverse and averse – These two are a pain. They’re both adjectives, and they both have a negative denotation. “Adverse” indicates an unfavorable condition, while “averse” (typically followed by the word “to”) indicates disliking or opposing something. The rule of thumb here is: If you’re talking about something you don’t like, you’re averse to it. If it’s something bad happening to you, it’s an adverse event. Compliment and complement – If you ever wondered in math class when you would use all the stuff you were learning, that day has come. “Complement” with two “Es” indicates some-

thing that improves, augments or adds to another thing. In geometry, which, incidentally, also has two “Es,” complementary angles are those which add up to 90 degrees. A “compliment” with an “I,” however, is simply an expression of praise. For example: “Compliments on your interdisciplinary explanation, Jordan.” Thanks, reader. Imminent and eminent – “Eminent” signifies prominence. A bishop is in an eminent position in his church. Many longtime residents are considered eminent members of their community. “Imminent” signifies that something is coming soon. There might be an imminent tornado warning, for example. In medicine, a transient ischemic attack, or mini-stroke, can be the warning sign of an imminent stroke. Intern and inter – In the interest of full disclosure, these two appear on this list out of personal experience (and not a small amount of chagrin). To “intern” somewhere is to act as an apprentice or student worker. To “inter” somewhere is to be buried. So, for example, when a rookie reporter who is assigned to the obituaries desk writes that someone was “interned” at the local cemetery, he is incorrect (Unless maybe he’s talking about a mortuary sciences student).

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Removing wall opens up kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home is located in the South Harbour subdivision in Noblesville and was built in 1973. The current owner has lived there for 25 years and is the second owner. REASONS FOR REMODELING: Why remodel? “I always wanted a bigger kitchen. There was so much wasted space in the dining room, and the kitchen was smaller than those in most people’s apartments. It was a galley kitchen with little counter space and a huge pantry. There was no room for anything else. The builder must have felt that the large pantry meant there was no need for any other kitchen space! I had new cabinets, flooring and appliances installed in 2003 but it really did not help with the space issue. I decided I was going to stay here, as I like the neighborhood and the water, so it was time to expand the kitchen.” DESIGN PROCESS: The owner went through a detailed design phase looking at several design schemes over the course of 5 weeks. “The goal of the remodel was better use of space.” KITCHEN DETAILS: The expanded kitchen includes new painted maple cabinets in bisque and ebony capped with a two-piece crown along

Before with new Hi-Macs solid surface countertops in Aztec Quartz color and bullnose edge. The floor includes new 13” x 13” porcelain tile from Dal Tile in Delta Gray color. The lighting upgrades include recessed can lights, under-cabinet lights and decorative mini-pendants over the peninsula. The new white solid surface sink includes a Delta Palo stainless pull out faucet. FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented on her favorite features. “The peninsula and the wall of cabinets are my favorite parts of the remodel. The red pendants give me the
