Hendricks honored for service
By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com
Deputy Mayor Michael S. Hendricks is the recipient of the 2013 Ivan H. Brinegar Municipal Management Award. Hendricks was preachievement sented with the honor at the 2013 Indiana Association of Cities and Towns annual conference and exhibition in Indianapolis on Oct. 7. This prestigious award is presented to an appointed municipal official with a minimum of 10 years of city or town service who displays strong leadership, contributes to the community and serves as a role model to citizens and municipal officials. “I was shocked,” Hendricks said. “I had no idea.” Hendricks said the city did a great job keeping him in the dark as he didn’t know about the award until it was announced at the conference. “Right away I knew it was me when they said the person was recommended for this award by John Ditslear,” he said. “All the (department) directors came down to see me get the award. My wife, son and mother came out from behind the curtain on stage. They did a good job.”
Hendricks was the director of the city’s wastewater utility prior to working as the deputy mayor since April 1, 2010. He is approaching his 20th year with the City of Noblesville. “One of the greatest things is living in the community I work for. The things I work on impact me as a citizen and the community,” he said. “To live and serve the community I live in, I’ve been very fortunate to have that opportunity.” In addition to his dedication to the city, Hendricks has served on the School Improvement Committee and now serves on the Noblesville Education Foundation Board of Directors. He is a past president of the Noblesville Midday Rotary Club and a member of the development organization team for Noblesville Youth Sports, which works to unite youth sports organizations within the city. “Mike’s a hard worker and dedicated not only to the City of Noblesville, but to numerous other organizations. We are so pleased for him to receive this well-earned honor,” stated Mayor John Ditslear. “I cannot think of anyone more deserving of the Ivan H. Brinegar Award than Mike.”

County prepares for zombies
By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com
If a zombie apocalypse happened would your family be prepared? The Hamilton County Health Dept. and supporting coalition diversion partners are hosting an information session from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 23 to discuss the recent zombie pop culture phenomenon and what would happen in the event of a major disaster within the community. “It’s a clever way to get some folks attention,” Health Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Chad Jenkins said. “A couple of years ago, the CDC created a Zombie Preparation program to create a 72-hour preparation kit.” The event will be held at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. It is free and open to the public but not suitable for those under the age of 13. Jenkins said the focus is not on zombies coming for your brains but ways residents can be better prepared for any disaster - more likely a pandemic, tornado, flood or earthquake. “It’s not my intent to scare anybody,” he said. “We’re engaging the community in a fun way. It’s the first time we’re doing something on this scale.” Jenkins said the program will discuss what the
county is really doing to support the community during a public health disaster and what residents can do to be involved and keep their family safe. “What has your health medical community done with their tax payer dollars to prepare for emergencies? This showcases what we have been doing over the past four to five years for them,” he said. Jenkins said the program will highlight three areas including public health emergencies and public safety, and what a home preparedness kit should look like. “If you were isolated at home from a snowstorm or flood, or there were zombies outside, could you stay at home for 72 hours?” Jenkins said. “We’re stretching (necessities) over 12 to 15 weeks to make it affordable.” The third topic is the role of the community and how can they help, with Mandy Stirratt of the Indiana State Dept. of Health. “We’ll list volunteer organizations they could participate in right now with their existing skill sets,” Jenkins said. The first 150 families will receive a free gift, and those who are registered will be entered into a free drawing for emergency supplies from Walmart. To register, visit www.hcprepareszombies.eventbrite.com.
Clarification – On Oct. 2 the Hamilton County Council’s approved the $8.4 million purchase of hangars and the terminal building at Indianapolis Executive Airport. Councilman Rick McKinney, who was the lone objector, said he would be in favor of the plan if two independent appraisers and inspectors investigated the property; 100 percent of the cost was covered without bonds and “Montgomery Aviation’s contract as FBO/ airport manager would be terminated.” Also, McKinney stated that the supporters’ position that municipal bond rates were at historic lows were inaccurate and County Attorney Mike Howard agreed.

The coolest backyard ever – Natural Light Patio Covers There’s nowhere anyone would rather be on a beautiful summer day than the backyard deck, in a comfortable chair, sipping a cool drink. And yet, this idyllic scenario can so easily be spoiled if the sun is too hot and too direct. There are dozens of solutions to block the sun, but nothing is as effective or rewarding as a Natural Light Patio Cover. Imbued with almost magical qualities, the covers block all U.V. rays and 75 per cent of infrared rays, while letting through most of the light. The result is a cool setting that is still filled with natural light. There isn’t a giant solid awning casting a shadow not only on the deck but on the room behind the adjacent windows. There isn’t a large umbrella that has to be folded down every time the wind picks up. And there isn’t a retractable sunshade that has to be cranked into position every time someone wants to sit outside. Natural Light Patio Covers use Acrylite panels to filter out heat and U.V. while letting the light shine through, to create the perfect patio atmosphere. They can be attached to homes to cover decks and patios, or built as stand-alone covers detached entirely from the house.
They are permanent structures, engineered specifically for the Indianapolis climate to take the wind and snow without buckling or showing signs of wear. The see-through panels do not discolour or show any effect from U.V. rays. In short, they are the perfect way to ensure your backyard experience is ideal all spring, summer and fall for many years to come. “We can even build enclosures to create three-season rooms,” says Cory Clapper, the Indianapolis sale consultant of the covers. “People have all sorts of uses for this technology,” he says. “We can build almost any kind of structure to fit in with a backyard plan.” The Acrylite comes in two-foot wide panels that can be as long as 24 feet. Glazing bars between them provide structural support and can be formed into a single slope or cathedralstyle ceiling. “When you look up through the panels, they are a sky blue colour,” Clapper says. “It’s like you’re looking at the sky.” The aluminum structure itself comes in four colours and all Patio Covers include eaves troughs just like the roof of a house.
“The manufacturer guarantees the engineering of the panels, which are made in Germany, for 30 years not to fade or discolour, and has a 10 year warranty against hail damage,” Clapper says. “So, people can expect their covers to last 30 years or more. It’s a quality product.” The structures are not inexpensive, but Clapper uses an integrity pricing system that keeps costs as low as possible. He provides free estimates and plans to run several open houses in London this summer, inviting interested homeowners to tour houses where he has installed a Patio Cover already.“When people see them and feel how cool they are standing there in the bright sunlight, they are amazed,” he says. The company’s website features several options and configurations and as well as testimonials from happy customers who are already enjoying their Natural Light Patio Cover this summer.

City, school collaborate for inaugural planning program By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Third-grader Gabriella Stotts held two pink boxes with purple roofs. As she “walked” on top of White River, she paused cover story and looked around. Then Stotts placed the boxes on a large map one block away from the Hamilton County Courthouse. “It’s a school for girls,” she said. The buildings were Stotts’ contribution to Box City, an extensive unit teaching Promise Road Elementary School third- and fourth-grade students about planning and the city. The idea came from Noblesville Planning Director Christy Langley as one way the department can be more proactive in the community. “This is a great way to help students learn about the field of planning in an engaging way,” she said. “Box City is a great tie-in to the projectbased learning curriculum that Promise Road Elementary uses.” Box City Coordinator Phil Hagee, who serves as a long-range planner for the City of Noblesville, said this was the first Box City program in the state. “This project will introduce kids to urban planning and get them involved with the city,” Hagee said. “This gets them thinking about being civically engaged, to be involved in government - to think about the history of Noblesville. It was 100 times better than I envisioned it.” Hagee said planning for the unit was a long process and took several months. The project included a presentation by Hamilton County Historian David Heighway, mock city council, scale design of downtown Noblesville and Box City and explanation of permit requirements, zoning issues, architecture and design procedures. “You learn things most kids don’t,” fourthgrader Oria Boyd said. “I look at things differently. Streets like (Ind.) 37 weren’t just built and have been there very long.” “I didn’t even know how the city was made but now I think it’s really cool,” Christopher Mattingly, a fourth-grade student, said. Ira Goldfarb, Noblesville sewer water specialist, said the program provided students a look at how the government works and how various departments like planning, engineering, sewer water quality and fire work together. “It engages them in the bigger picture of what living in a city like this means,” he said. “We’re trying to get their input to what a city needs to survive. How those all interact to go together.” Fire Inspector Darrel Cross spent Oct. 8 approving occupancy permits of buildings and homes. Just like the real process, Cross inspected blueprints, site plans and buildings. “It’s a really good experience for the students to start learning the process,” he said. “Cities have different zones and it makes sense to zone

tained and applied it to a real life scenario. They researched the history of the city and how it’s grown,” third-grade teacher Kayla Holcomb said. Teachers said this lesson was above and beyond what they thought it was going to be. “They really had to think a lot deeper to what matters to people in the city and why,” Stephanie Hamilton, third-grade teacher, said. “Every project starts with a driving question. What do you want the students to learn? It keeps them focused,” Principal Kelly Treinen said. “It started on day one … It was an expectation when we opened up. Our goal is create a 21st Century learning environment.” In preparation for Box City, Treinen said students did research and heard from longtime local business owners about how the landscape and processes have changed. “It’s a connection with the community. It builds our knowledge beyond the four walls and to our community,” she said. “It’s incredible the amount of information these kids learn.” Treinen said the PBLs are based on state standards but “dive deeper” into the subject. “It’s not just a fluff activity,” she said. “It is tied to standards. They learn things that extended their thinking and solidified them.” Treinen said upcoming PBLs are “farm to table” in kindergarten and “how to reduce your carbon footprint” in fifth grade. Previous PBLs include an Indiana tourism project in which fourthgrade students created an interactive map of every county. Treinen said the project was adopted by the state DOE and is available on its Website. Third-graders visited IMI to learn about rocks and minerals and then created presentations to the company. A handful of students were then selected to present their research at IMI’s conference in Indianapolis.

The background for Box City was based on the
question, “How can we as historians inform others how our county has changed?” Since the school opened last year, Promise Road has utilized project-based-learning experiences to further the classroom experience and the four C’s: community, collaborating, creativity and critical thinking. “As a hands-on experience this was PBL at its finest.

Third- and fourth-grade students at Promise Road Elementary School worked with the city’s planning department staff to construct “buildings” out of boxes and then design and construct Noblesville from those buildings. In order to do this, students first learned about the steps that are necessary to construct buildings and cities in real life such as permit requirements, zoning issues, architecture and design procedures and more. The third-grade students were responsible for constructing the buildings by using the same standards and methods required in the City of Noblesville, while fourth-grade students determined the master layout of the city. While other communities around the nation have conducted Box City programs, this is believed to be the first in Indiana. Students from Ball State University’s graduate program in urban planning observed and assisted with the Box City program and will then share the ideas and results of Noblesville’s program with other communities in Indiana.

F R O M T HE BACKSHOP Who’s telling the jokes in D.C.?
Kicking the can It is our position that big government has become counterproductive. The president of the United States and Congress are treating the national budget crisis like a big game of “Kick the Can.” The “can” symbolizes major issues that go decades without resolution and continue to affect the livelihood of the American people. Nothing seems to get resolved as the “can” is kicked further down the road just so the players can keep the game going, i.e., remain in office to collect a handsome salary and lifelong benefits. The latest such issue involves a government shutdown resulting in hundreds of thousands of federal employees being furloughed with interruptions in service affecting government contractors and consumers. The shutdown will cost taxpayers even more money with the promise of interest on back pay owed to furloughed employees. Perhaps the president and Congress should move their game to the sandbox where they can all learn to get along. Continuing an endless federal spending spree on credit is really no different than recklessly racking up debt on a personal credit card and having the limit raised so it doesn’t have to be paid off. New debt ceilings can’t be purchased at the hardware store. They come at a much higher cost.
Clear as mud Commentary by Terry Anker With full understanding that one is likely being judged for relying upon the antiquated form of an actual dictionary for information rather than asking Siri, I must begin by noting that recently I pulled a dusty book from the shelf, and with great intention split the tome seeking a greater understanding of a single word. It is true, much of our comprehension comes from the context in which a word is expressed but, if words matter, shouldn’t we make them as precise as our meager abilities might allow them to be? On this particular occasion, a commentator on the BBC world radio station was, as British commentators on the BBC world radio station often do, making use of the English language in a way that exceeded my ability to keep up. The words he deployed, while no doubt entertaining, struck the listener as if designed to intentionally obfuscate the matter at hand. Perhaps, the point was clear but an incomplete command of
the vernacular was the problem. So with the dictionary retrieved and a quick perusal accomplished, I discovered that the tone of the smooth-tongued journalist indeed was inconsistent with what he was actually saying! Words like Quantitative Easing – now shortened in some circles to simply QE – often intentionally belie the intention of the ones behind the fancy phraseology. What is the Defense of Marriage Act designed to defend? Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act? TARP? (Which, by the way, is Troubled Asset Recovery Act). These are all very nice words. How can these not be good things? We like “care” and “defend” and “asset.” Listening is an action. Our duty is to treat it that way.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
- Carl Jung
You might have heard this, but those legislative giants in the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill recently to guarantee back pay for all federal employees furloughed in the continuing government shutdown. As of press time, the Senate had yet to undertake voting on the same measure. How benevolent it was of the Republican-controlled House to approve what amounts to more paid vacation time for federal workers. Yes, the House members of the Grand Old Party really have their priorities straight. But we can’t and shouldn’t blame these workers; we’re certain they’re just as convulsed in laughter as we are over how pitifully injudicious their bosses are. Or, maybe not. When you consider the body of evidence inside the Beltway, perhaps being paid to not work is just business as usual. If that’s the prevailing model, there certainly is ample substantiation of achievement on that front. ••• The City of Noblesville has announced that Deputy Mayor Michael Hendricks is the recipient of the 2013 Ivan H. Brinegar Municipal Management Award. Hendricks was presented with the honor recently at the 2013 Indiana Association of Cities and Towns Annual Conference & Exhibition in Indianapolis. This prestigious award is presented to an appointed municipal official with a minimum of 10 years of city or town service that displays strong leadership, contributes to the community and serves as a role model to citizens and municipal officials. According to the city, Hendricks was the director of the Noblesville Wastewater Utility prior to being appointed deputy mayor. He is nearing his 20th year with the city. Said Mayor John Ditslear: “I cannot think of anyone more deserving of the Ivan H. Brinegar Award than Mike.” We offer our congratulations. Being recognized by ones peers is a noteworthy achievement.

Really, I do love Doo!
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
During the weekend a woman approached me at Meijer. As always, I braced myself for a verbal assault. Instead she told me how humor much she loved my column and how well she related to my life. But when my husband returned from the breakfast food aisle, she said, “And this must be Doo. I don’t know how you stand it, with her always ragging on you in a public forum. It must be terrible for you to live with her!” She was dead serious. We all kind of chuckled and then carried on with our separate shopping runs. But the encounter rattled me. Do all of my adoring fans think I hate my husband? Do you all feel we’re on the brink of divorce? Granted, he frustrates me often, and I still can’t understand why cleaning out the garage trumps putting dirty plates in the dishwasher, but truth be told, I like my husband. A lot. So in a departure from my normal “Doo is honking me off,” rant, I’m going to focus on just one of the many reasons why I love him. Bottom line, Doo gets me. He embraces my crazy and understands that as irrationally as I can sometimes behave (particularly around the third week of the month), together we make an amazing partnership. “Wonder spouse power, activate!” For example, just the other day we were trying to resolve a disagreement with a friend. My
immediate response was to shy away from the conflict and allow the person to take advantage of me simply so I could avoid a confrontation. Doo went in the opposite direction, using every hyperbole he could dream up and numerous references to the People’s Court. While we were hashing out our distinctly different opinions, he was able to beef up my confidence so that I could take a stand, and I was able to back him off the litigation ledge. “Form of … a great team!” This summer when we were traveling through North Africa and Turkey, every time I wanted to bag a new experience because I was anxious or tired or afraid of the indigenous snake population, Doo reminded me that this was a once-in-alifetime trip. (Also that if I did somehow manage to get myself bitten by a cobra, I would have an incredibly cool story to tell, assuming I survived.) He refused to allow me to miss any such opportunities. So, yes, I do love my husband, and I know that I am very lucky to have him in my life. I ask that you please remember this one column should you ever see us in the dairy section at Meijer. Peace out.

Now comes the ‘won’t’ list
Commentary by Mike Redmond
I have a birthday coming up, and a big one it is. Not quite the milestone of 60 or 65, but a significant number just the same. humor My first thought is that I ought to use this as a time of reflection, but then I remember that I’ve seen my reflection and it isn’t all that interesting. I feel strongly that this should be a grown-up kind of birthday. By that I mean I have outgrown the “I want I want I want” birthdays of kidhoods, when October meant a chocolate cake, a new toy gun for the arsenal and a $10 bill from Grandma. Now, because I have reached a certain age – I’ll be 59 if you must know – I no longer have a list of what I want, mostly because I don’t want anything. I don’t eat cake, I still have a few of my toy guns and I can get my own $10 bill. No, this is not the birthday of want. Instead it is the birthday of won’t. As in, I am old enough now to start naming the things I no longer intend to do. Now that I am 59, or nearly so, I won’t eat broccoli. On this I am following the lead of George H. W. Bush, 41st President of the United States, who in 1990 declared that he was never wanted to see broccoli on his plate again. ‘’I do not like broccoli,’’ he said, “and I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United
States, and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.’’ President Bush was 65 when he made that declaration, so perhaps I’m jumping the gun a little. I don’t care. I don’t like broccoli, either, and even if I’m not president, I’m done with it. Now before you broccoli lovers start lecturing me about how good it is and how good it is for you, let me point out that I eat plenty of other vegetables, including most of the examples from the same plant family, the brassicas (from the Latin for “who passed gas?”). I love cabbage. I love cauliflower (until you cook it, in which case, no thanks). I love Brussels sprouts (but only if they’re roasted with olive oil and plenty of salt until the outer leaves get brown and crunchy). I’m partial to kohlrabi, fond of mustard greens, adore collards and have been known to make a pig of myself on turnips and greens. I think that should get me a pass. Besides, broccoli lovers, with me out of the way that’s just more for the rest of you. At some point a man has to put down his size-12 foot and make a declaration about who he is. This is that time. I am Mike Redmond and I am a guy who does not eat broccoli, and that is that. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline. com or P.O.

Local talent shown at annual film festival
news@currentnoblesville.com
Are you yearning to watch a movie you can actually relate to, rather than view yet another shoot ‘em up flick? film The Heartland Film Festival probably has a movie to fit your tastes. The 22nd incarnation of the event arrives Oct. 17 and continues through Oct. 26. A record of 134 independent films will be shown at a record number of theaters in Indianapolis. Tim Irwin, Heartland Film Festival’s artistic director, recommends coming out for two events if viewers are short on time. The opening ceremony will be conducted Oct. 17 and will feature the world premiere of “Gimme Shelter” starring actress Vanessa Hudgens. The screenings will be at 4 and 7:30 p.m. at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and a special red carpet event with the stars will be held at 6:15 p.m. The following day, Oct. 18, all the winning movies will be screened twice at the AMC theaters in Castleton, 6020 E. 82nd St. in Indianapolis. “Come for the star power and stay for the movies,” Irwin said. The awards ceremony will be held in the intimate confines of the Indiana Repertory Theatre on Oct. 19, but unfortunately it has already sold out. And on Oct. 26 the festival will come to a close with a premiere of “The Book Thief” and a red carpet event featuring Academy Awardwinning actor Geoffrey Rush. One of the premiere attractions at the festival is sure to be “Medora” – a documentary film shot in Indiana that focuses on the high school boys basketball team that hails from the town of the same name. Andrew Cohn, the film’s director, is the son of Amy Alexander of Fishers. He said he first heard about Medora after reading a 2009 story in the New York Times about how the team had lost all its games. So he and a crew of two holed up in a Seymour hotel and set about trying to document the team’s 2011 season. “We just thought it was going to be a sports documentary,” Cohn said. “Once we got to know the kids, we saw it was much more.” Medora is located south of Brown County and west of Seymour. Part of the collateral damage of globalization, its factories are gone, its families are in disarray and one of the only things holding it together is its high school. So when “Medora” shows images of surrounding towns’ decaying Main Streets and abandoned high schools, the correlation isn’t
lost on viewers. And as Cohn and his crew became more accepted by the players and the town, they quickly realized their documentary wasn’t meant to be about basketball. Cohn said it’s about answering this question, “What happens when small towns disappear?” Cohn said he has screened the documentary for the players, the coaches and the school board. He said the most important praise he re-
ceived was that they liked it. He also said he thinks the festival is the perfect venue to screen the film. “I really respect the Heartland Film Festival,” Cohn said. “We’re excited to be a part of it.” Cohn won’t be able to attend the festival screenings, but he is planning an official Indianapolis premiere Nov. 22 at the Indianapolis History Museum’s IMAX Theater. The entire crew and all the subjects of “Medora” are planning to attend that event.
Amy’s ‘Must-See’ Movies – Amy Pauszek of Ever Film Productions is a Fishers-based movie producer. She also serves as the social media chair for Heartland Film Festival and is a member of the Truly Moving Picture Jury. • ‘Life Inside Out’ – This film centers on a devoted mother of three teenage boys whose youngest son, Shane, is the family misfit. But upon discovering a forgotten guitar and playing at open-mic nights, the mother is able to connect to her son in new ways. Ultimately, her first brave steps Pauszek prove to be the catalyst for changing not only her life, but her son’s, in complex and unpredictable ways. • ‘The Crash Reel’ – Snowboarder Kevin Peace’s dreams of Olympic gold were sidelined when he suffered a traumatic brain injury that left him in a coma. His tight-knit family rallied around him, refusing to let him die. Their bonds were further tested when Kevin not only awoke, but wanted to return to his old competitive life. Chris’s ‘Must-See’ Movies – Christopher Lloyd is a Carmel-based awardwinning film critic with a bachelor’s degree in cinema from New York University and a master’s from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. • The Forgotten Kingdom – Atang Mokoenya is an unemployed, aimless young man who spends his days idling in the slums of Johannesburg. When his father dies, Atang must give up his selfish ways and fulfill his Lloyd father’s humble last wishes: to be buried in the rural kingdom of Lesotho, the country they left 15 years earlier in hopes of a better life. This epic story spans the rugged beauty of a little known mountain country where Atang finds the love of his life, and his place in this world. • Gimme Shelter – Gimme Shelter uncovers the struggle for survival and the hope of redemption through the harsh realities of life on the streets of New Jersey. Based on the lives of actual homeless, pregnant young women, writer and director Ronald Krauss lived in the primary shelter for one year prior to production while writing the Gimme Shelter screenplay.

CCP opens 20th season Oct. 17
By Dawn Pearson • news@currentnoblesville.com Eleven local actresses portraying a variety of women in different life stages will unveil the human condition through individual theatre monologues in Carmel Community Player’s “Talking With…” The theatre’s opening play of its 20th season was written by Jane Martin and directed by Pamela Kingsley. It’s virtually 11 one-woman shows woven together to create an exceptional theatrical experience that will touch an audience deeply - whether you are male or female, married or single, Kingsley said. Each character tells their story through a series of monologues - some very touching, a few emotional and some humorous. The series of characters includes a snake handler, a daughter, a baton twirler, a washed-up rodeo cowgirl, a tattooed woman and an older woman in the twilight of her life. “The beauty of this play is it speaks to everyone, but it’s explosive and funny and heartbreaking at moments,” Kingsley said. “There are moments that just make you catch your breath. It’s like I’m seeing it again for the first time, each person brings something new to it. I think audiences will really love it.” Kingsley said she feels the CCP playhouse is a perfect venue, intimate, not too small and the theater will accommodate the play beautifully.

Fall changes bring new challenges Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley
Presented by
Try it in 3-D!
Fall is the season when the variation in temperatures needs to be considered by tailgaters. You can freeze and, a few hours later, risk sunburn. All in the same day. On a recent morning - just before dawn - the temperature was in the 30s, but by afternoon it had risen into the high 70s. Staying comfortable and enjoying being outdoors with temperature swings of 40 degrees is a challenge for tailgaters. Knowing the kickoff time for the game is key. To tailgate before a game that starts at noon, expect brisk morning air that will feel even colder if the wind is blowing. By afternoon, especially if your stadium seats are in the sun, you’ll be sweating and in need of sunscreen. For a night game, the pregame tailgating happens in the heat of the day where short sleeves will be appropriate. After sundown it can get downright cold. So what’s a fan supposed to do? Think of steps you can take to lessen the effects of nature. If it’s a cold morning, try to place yourself in the sun. To help escape the wind, park your vehicle as a windscreen up-wind from your gathering. Use your grill as a heat source or in more extreme conditions. We’ve even seen fans use portable wood-burning fire pots. Clothing choice is another key factor for your comfort during the entire day. Your mother always said that you should wear layers, and she was right. By layering, a tailgater can put on and take off items as needed.
A lightweight, waterproof windbreaker works great as an outside shell for protection from rain and wind, as well as retaining body heat. “Sublayer” with shirts and sweaters as conditions dictate, keeping flexibility in mind. For food calories and internal body heat, try this tailgaters’ favorite that can be eaten standing by the fire or sitting in the shade: Chicken Sloppy Joe’s - Buffalo Style. Buffalo chicken sandwich
Ingredients (makes eight sandwiches): 2 tablespoons cooking oil, 2 pounds ground chicken, 2 stalks celery, chopped, 1 onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, Sea salt and ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon French’s Worcestershire sauce, 1/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce, 1 cup tomato sauce, 1 cup chicken stock, 8 buns, 1 8 –ounce package bleu cheese, dill pickle slices Preparation: Heat a large skillet with oil over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and break it up, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook about six minutes. Add celery, onions, and garlic; season with salt and black pepper and simmer eight more minutes. In a separate bowl combine vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, tomato sauce and stock. Pour into the pan and stir until well mixed. Simmer until the mixture thickens and can be spooned onto buns. Top with bleu cheese and pickles if desired.

‘Threepenny’ a show for the people By Jay Harvey • news@currentnoblesville.com Everybody knows the big pop hit in “The Threepenny Opera,” familiar in English for decades as “Mac the Knife.” The pop opera culture credentials of that song actually go back centuries. In context, “Mac the Knife” introduces early in the show the legendary London criminal Macheath. His story was turned into a new kind of opera by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill for audiences in the fragile Weimar Republic of the late 1920s. Yet the playwright and composer borrowed their new kind of opera from John Gay’s “Beggar’s Opera,” a hit in 18th-century England for its nosethumbing stance against a lofty foreign import and its remote gods and heroes: Italian opera. That show’s songs were set to familiar tunes of the day, and its characters were urban lowlifes. So when Indianapolis Opera presents “The Threepenny Opera” for two weekends this month at the Basile Opera Center, it’s actually offering an “outreach” show with a long pedigree. There’s no need to “bring opera down to the people’s level” when “The Threepenny Opera” is already there - and maybe beneath it. Director Bill Fabris promises that the production will offer the best English version of the story, with much of the “rough stuff” of the original intact, though still far from the most explicit translated version of the texts. But when the songs and libretto deal with thievery, murder, prostitution, official corruption and assorted other varieties of human knavery, there’s no way to pretty up the work. Fabris and his team wouldn’t want to. “This translation is closer to the German origi-
From left, Robert Kerr and Janara Rose Kellerman star in “Three Penny Opera”
nal,” he said, adding it still will have resonance to current events in the world, including skepticism about banks and questions about a leader’s birth certificate. The work’s proper setting is long-ago London, but Indianapolis Opera has changed the look of the piece to the time of the work’s creation. The setting and costumes will have a Berlin cabaret look, he said, that may remind Indianapolis audiences of the hit musical and movie “Cabaret.” The idea is to present German city dwellers telling the story of some disreputable characters just before their country’s fall into Nazism, he said.

Tribute band brings back ’70s flair By Terri Spilman • news@currentnoblesville.com
A tight white polyester leisure suit is not exactly red carpet fodder for an event at the Palladium - until now. The Center for the Performing music Arts is inviting guests to unpack their bell bottoms and gold scarves for an “ABBAtastic” costume party to welcome ABBA - The Concert on Oct. 20. The show is billed as a live musical extravaganza celebrating ABBA, the famous Swedish band that sold more than 370 million records worldwide and inspired the popular Broadway musical, Mamma Mia!. ABBA - The Concert follows the quartet through songs from their Eurovision beginnings in 1974 with hits such as “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” The internationally acclaimed tribute band features an original member of ABBA’s percussion section at each performance. Drummer Roger Palm, who played with ABBA from 1972-1979, will appear with the tribute band during their performance at the Palladium. “We’ve been playing the show for a little bit
ABBA - The Concert, a tribute band, will perform at the Palladium at 7 p.m. on Oct. 20.
over a decade - many of the same places and same venues - people are happy and satisfied with the show. It’s a very nostalgic crowd,” said Nate Smith, the tribute group’s spokesperson. “A tribute band selling out huge stadiums band is pretty iconic.” “Over the next week, we are planning social media posts that will encourage guests to make the night a party - including dressing in ’70s clothes,” said John Hughey, Director of External Relations for The Center for the Performing Arts.

Advances in varicose treatment Commentary by Jeffery Schoonover
Do you have aching, painful or restless legs, heaviness, swollen ankles or muscle cramping? If so, you may have varicose beauty vein disease. More than half of all women and about 45 percent of men will suffer from varicose vein disease in their lifetime. A family history and aging increase one’s tendency to develop varicose veins. Other factors include a sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, prolonged standing and pregnancy. Varicose veins are usually a symptom of chronic venous insufficiency, a disease that causes blood to flow backward in the veins, making them bulge and twist down the leg. Vein disorders are not always visible to the naked eye so the first step in treatment is to have an examination and diagnostic ultrasound vein mapping to determine the cause and severity of your vein problems. The treatments to eliminate varicose veins and all vein abnormalities have improved dramatically in recent years. No longer do patients need to endure painful surgical vein stripping. State-of-theart corrective thermal ablation treatments include endovenous laser treatment, which is performed in the doctor’s office and does not require sedation or a hospital stay. Medical lasers have proven their safety and effectiveness in all kinds of medical procedures and offer far less chance of compli-
cations than traditional surgical approaches. EVLT eliminates the abnormal saphenous vein, which is the source of most varicose vein issues. Using ultrasound technology, a thin laser fiber is guided into the vein through a very small opening in the skin to deliver light energy to the diseased vein wall, causing the vein to close and eliminating backward blood flow. The blood is automatically routed to other, healthy veins. Some patients may experience temporary soreness, bruising, or swelling, which can be treated effectively with over-the-counter, non-aspirin pain relievers and typically subsides within the first seven to 10 days. The procedure is minimally invasive and requires no general anesthesia. Only local anesthetic is used to numb the area where the physician is working. Patients are encouraged to wear compression stockings and walk immediately after the procedure. The vast majority of patients can resume normal activities the same day. Success rates of EVLT are reported as high as 98 percent, and is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for most patients with saphenous related venous insufficiency. Jeffery P. Schoonover, M.D., FAAFP, RVT, RPVI, practices with the Indiana Vein Specialists, 11876 Olio Road, Suite 700, Fishers. He can be reached at 348-3023. For more information, visit www.indyveins.com

Best to shop around for protection Commentary by Joel Harris Many Americans have access to term life insurance through their employer. This benefit can be a great way to protect your family in the event of an untimely death. insurance If you purchase term insurance through your employer, I highly recommend you examine the plan to learn the specifics. For example, will your coverage end in the event you resign or you’re terminated from your position? Are your premiums higher in your company plan than if you went out in the market to get term insurance on your own? In many company plans the premiums tend to escalate every five years. Furthermore, you tend to get lumped into a standard rate-class as you age with your co-workers, so your premiums can be higher than they should be. If you’re healthy, it behooves you look into term insurance outside of your employer’s plan. Let me share a specific example of a how a man (I’ll call him Roger) saved money on his life insurance by getting it on his own. Roger is healthy male who purchased a $650,000 term insurance policy through his employer. He celebrated his 60th birthday three months ago. Roger needs the term insurance to provide his wife with enough money to pay off the house and supplement his lost income. His premium for $650,000 worth of coverage was $200 per month at age 59. Because Roger
recently turned 60, he got bumped into a new higher age bracket that caused his premiums to double to $406 per month. At 65, his premiums will jump to $822 per month. These increases in premium will be very difficult on Roger’s budget. Roger decided to run some comparable quotes to lock in a 15-year term policy with a $650,000 death benefit. He submitted an application with a leading provider, completed the underwriting process and was approved at a non-smoker rating. By doing this, Roger locked in a $217 per month premium payment for $650,000 worth of coverage and dropped his coverage with his employer. Most importantly, this policy is portable and continues after Roger decides to retire at 67. It will save him a significant amount money over the next 15 years. If you have a plan at work, please take the time to review it closely to make sure you’re not overpaying for this valuable coverage for you and your family. Please note this is only an example and does not represent your specific situation. Please contact a trusted advisor for more information about your particular needs.

Hiring during a government shutdown — E-Verify, the federal government’s electronic system for checking whether new hires can legally work in the United States, has been suspended, along with other government functions deemed nonessential. That presents a prickly question for employers enrolled in E-Verify because they must use the system to run checks on new workers within three days of hiring them. Employers should also refrain from taking adverse action against employees flagged as “tentative nonconfirmations” during the shutdown, the notice said. Source: Businessweek

Commentary by Donald Knebel
Near the entrance to Egypt’s Valley of Kings, beneath a pyramid-shaped mountain, is a magnificent 3,500 year-old temple that even today is considered a model for adapttravel ing a building to its surroundings. Hatshepsut, the powerful female pharaoh honored by this mortuary temple, was unknown until the twentieth century. Her successors had tried to erase not only her memory but her very existence. Hatshepsut was born in 1508 B.C., the daughter of Thutmose I, the first pharaoh entombed in the Valley of the Kings. After a brief stint as regent for a young male pharaoh, Hatshepsut declared herself pharaoh in 1479 B.C. During her reign, she dressed as a man, even wearing a false beard strapped around her head. One of the most successful rulers of her era, she greatly expanded Egyptian trade and engaged in a massive building program unmatched for centuries. One of the many buildings she constructed was her mortuary temple at a complex now called Deir el-Bahri, dedicated at her death in 1458 B.C. Like other pharaohs, Hatshepsut made sure that the walls of her colonnaded mortuary temple contained numerous images of herself and hieroglyphic representations of her name. Egyptians believed that their ka, the essence of their being, could live on after their deaths in a physical representation of the deceased, such as
Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. (Photo by Don Knebel)
an image or an inscribed name. Pharaohs ruling after Hatshepsut tried to eliminate any place for her ka to reside. They destroyed her statutes, obliterated her images on temple walls and erased her name from everything they could find, including lists of pharaohs. Scholars believe these pharaohs saw depriving Hatshepsut’s ka of a place to live as a way to restore Ma’at, the natural order of the universe they thought had been upset by their female predecessor. Twentieth century archaeologists reconstructed Hatshepsut’s lost reign from images
overlooked for destruction. Her mummy, found without markings, was identified in 2007 when a tooth known to be hers matched the mummy’s empty socket. Hatshepsut’s mummy now lies alongside those of other great pharaohs, all men, in the Cairo Museum. Many would say the true natural order has finally been restored.

FALL RESOLUTIONS You do not need to wait for January 1 to change your habits or adopt a goal! The changing of the season may be all the motivation it takes for you to want to get yourself in tip-top shape or lose weight! Not to mention, cardiovascular activity is imperative to great heart health! Here are a few tips to get fit before the New Year! #1 Enlist a Friend! Accountability is the number one reason why appointments at the gym fall by the wayside. Enlist a friend or family member to help motivate you when you need it most. #2 You Never Regret a Workout Think about the way you are going to feel as soon as those thirty minutes on the treadmill are up. Remind yourself that the hardest part about working out is getting out the door. Feelings are temporary, your body is forever. #3 Make Achievable Goals It’s easy to say you’ll commit to going to the gym every single day, but in order to truly make it there it has to be achievable. Begin with small, achievable goals that are realistic to your schedule and current physical abilities. Your confidence will build as you achieve these small goals. #4 Find a Reason! Feeling a little vain that the main reason you want to workout is to fit in those skinny jeans? Who cares!? If you lose weight in a healthy, moderate and sustainable way the reasoning behind the weight loss is unimportant. Your physical health will benefit from attaining a weight that is healthy for your body type. #5 Make that Perfect Playlist Stay motivated by creating a playlist with your favorite songs!

TRENCH TREND This season step out in a classic trench coat with a twist. To make a statement, opt for one with a little flair! Leather accents, rich colors, patent finishes, and quilted textures give an updated twist on the classic silhouette. Trench coats come in all shapes and sizes, so make sure you find the right fit for your body. Above-the-knee or mid-thigh styles work best on petite sizes, longer lengths work on taller frames. Make sure to try on a trench coat with an appropriate layering element, like a medium-size sweater, to ensure the right fit and to keep you from buying one in a size too small. RAINY DAY BOOT GUIDE Fall is a tricky time of year. You never know if you’ll get that unexpected first snow or a few days of torrential rain. Prepare yourself this season by always being armed with a pair of great rain boots (Tip: keep them in your car.). The sturdy kind will get you through all kinds of weather; rain or snow. Wear them with your skinny jeans, leggings or a fun pair of tights. Need a little extra warmth in the boot? Add a pair of knee-high socks, and let them peak out of the top of your boots for an added layered look.

New master bath features zero-threshold shower
Commentary by Larry Greene
Existing bathroom: This home is located in the River Glen subdivision in Fishers. Although they had remodeled their bathroom seven years ago, the homeowners were not happy with their master bathroom. “When we remodeled the blueprint for bathroom, we were hoping to not have improvement to do it again. The shower never really worked for us, and when it began to leak, we decided it was a great opportunity to get a new design.” Aging in place: Aging-in place led the design process for the new master shower. “I wanted to be able to get a wheel chair in and out if need be,” said the homeowner. Fortunately, zerothreshold shower pans have emerged in the market place, allowing for much easier installation. According to the Project Designer, “We have to slightly modify the existing floor joists to fit the zero threshold pan. This allows the cement board underlayment to seamlessly blend into the shower pan, eliminating the need to float the lightweight concrete shower base in order to get the adequate drainage.” Shower details: The shower footprint was expanded, and the floor was covered with 2” x 2” mosaic tile that matched the existing tile on the tab deck. The shower walls were tiled in 12” x 18” Milos beige porcelain with 1/8” grout lines rather than the standard ¼. The accent tile is Multi-Tumbled Smooth Rectangle set horizontally at 6” high. Other master bath details: For the rest of the bathroom, minor touches brought the remodel together. “Our house is very traditional and I wanted an ultra-modern look,” said the homeowner. “But, due to budget reasons, we could not get rid of the traditional vanity.” The design therefore called for more transitional material choices, with hints of modern like frameless shower doors. A
Before granite remnant in Venetian Gold was installed as the vanity countertop with two new sinks. The existing plumbing was reinstalled throughout the space.

“You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public.” “Posting our job opening in Current was a tremendous success. Within hours of the issue being distributed, we had numerous inquiries from very qualified individuals. We signed up to have our ad run for two weeks, but was able to settle for one since we found the perfect person to fill our position so quickly. You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public, and we will definitely use its services again." -Brian Carriger sales support manager Dimensions Furniture, Carmel
