Plan commission approves zoning requests, plat Compiled by Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Plan Commission met in regular session at 6 p.m. Oct. 19. The board’s next meeting will be at 6 p.m. Nov. 16 in the City Hall Council Chambers, 16 S. 10th St. What happened: The plan commission continued requests for change of zoning at the southeast corner of Little Chicago Road and Ind. 38. Why it matters: The zoning change would allow for a residential subdivision development and three commercial lots facing Ind. 38.

What’s next: After questions and concerns raised during the public hearing, the commission voted to continue both items to its next meeting on Nov. 16.

What happened: The plan commission approved a change of zoning from PB (planned business) to PB/PD (planned business/planned development) at Terry Lee Crossing. Why it matters: The request will add 12.1 acres at the southeast corner of Ind. 32 and Ind. 37 to the existing Terry Lee Crossing Planned Development.

What’s next: The Noblesville Common Council will give final approval at its 7 p.m. Oct 27 meeting.

Remembering Pat Reed

What happened: The plan commission approved a primary plat for a two-lot residential subdivision to be called Millikan’s estates at 17215 Willow View Rd., outside of the city’s corporate limits. Why it matters: This plat will develop nearly eight acres.

What’s next: A petition for annexation of the property will be submitted in the future.

What happened: The plan commission approved a waiver for Federal Hill Commons regarding fill within the Flood Hazard Zoning District for property on the west side of White River in the Federal Hill Planned Development. Why it matters: To address flood and general land issues at the future park, the city has added dirt. A hydrologic analysis has been completed to show no damage was done as a result of the fill, but rules state the city must come before the plan commission anytime land changes are made.

Noblesville woman wins Lays ‘Do Us a Flavor’ contest, $1M

news@currentnoblesville.com

On Oct. 19, lifelong Noblesville resident Pat Reed, 87, died at his home. Reed spent his obituary life serving the City of Noblesville in various forms. He was a member of the Noblesville Parks Board for more than 25 years. He served on the Noblesville City Council from Reed 1976 to 1979. During that time he was also a member of the Noblesville Plan Commission, which he served for more than three decades. For more than 40 years (1950 to 1990), Reed worked at Firestone and was a Noblesville realtor for 60 years. Reed spent 61 years of his life with wife Jean A. Reed, who died in 2012. He was appointed as the grand marshal for the city’s annual July 4th Parade and Fireworks Festival in 2013. On Dec. 15, 2014, Mayor John Ditslear designated the day as ‘Pat Reed Day’ by way of proclamation. Reed’s son, Mike Reed, said the events “were both part of his ‘long goodbye,’” Oct. 20 in a Facebook post. “I was saddened to hear the new of Pat Reed’s passing yesterday,” Ditslear said. “A lifelong resident of Noblesville, Pat was an engaged public servant who gave back to the community throughout his life … His passion, knowledge and love for Noblesville made him an invaluable asset to the city. Pat was a staple at Forest Park, and we will miss seeing him and talking with him.”

Hailey Green, 25, Noblesville, has been named champion of this year's Lay's "Do Us A Flavor" contest for her flavor idea, Southern Biscuits and Gravy, champion inspired by her grandparents who hail from Tennessee. The flavor won against three other finalist flavors that included New York Reuben, Wavy West Coast Truffle Fries and Kettle Cooked Greektown Gyro. Green will now have the choice to take home $1 million for her idea or profit from 1 percent of the flavor's net sales for one year. For months, Green promoted Southern Biscuits and Gravy at local events and online via her social media accounts. Voting for the contest lasted through Oct. 18, and Green was announced champion on the evening of Oct. 20.

‘Warriors’ create cookbook By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Wayland’s Warriors continue to fight on. The group is named for friends and family of Wayland Villars, fundraising a Noblesville boy who died in August 2013, two months before his fifth birthday on Oct. 24, from Diffuse Instrinsic Pontine Glioma, or DIPG, a rare pediatric brain tumor. Wayland was diagnosed in April 2012. Noblesville residents Amber and Ben Villars, his parents, started the Wayland Villars Foundation. During Wayland’s battle, Amber’s sister coined the term “Wayland’s Warriors” for supporters. Amber has since written a cookbook, titled “Warrior Food,” with recipes from friends and supporters, to be released in December. All proceeds will go to the mission of the foundation, supporting area families with DIPG and continued research. “Towards the end of his life, we realized continued research is going to be the best thing to offer hope to other families affected,” Amber said. “So we decided to donate his brain and his tumor to research physicians at Stanford University, which was our home base for treatment. The next step is we knew we wanted to continue to raise money. We weren’t sure at first if a foundation was right for us or something we could pull off.” So they decided to reach out to Stanford researchers and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, a Stanford graduate. Luck agreed to do a fundraiser. After a long time planning with Luck’s agent, they decided on the Play Like a Warrior event, a football camp and dance and cheer

camp on May 3 of this year for kids ages 5 to 16. “(Luck) wanted to make sure DIPG was the forefront. He wanted to make sure it wasn’t a Colts thing or revolved just around him,” said Amber, who has a 4-year-old daughter Amelia. “The Pacemates (Indiana Pacers dance team) came in and helped with the dance and cheer camp to make it more well-rounded. We were able to raise $50,000, and we were able to send a check for $30,000 to Stanford. We would have loved to raise more money.” DIPG received national attention when Mount St. Joseph freshman basketball player Lauren Hill, from Lawrenceburg, fulfilled her dream of playing college basketball last season despite the disease. She died in April. It’s rare an older teen like Hill is stricken with DIPG. “It’s rare to see a child who can talk about it,” Amber said. “We had someone who could get the word out themselves while suffering from it. It helped to get awareness out. It put a face to the disease.” For more, visit waylandswarriors.com.

Good Samaritan event is Nov. 7 By Renee Larr news@currentnoblesville.com On Nov. 7, the Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County will host the third annual “Occasion philanthropy to Be Grateful” event. The event celebrates and honors groups who help to support the underserved of Hamilton County. “Occasion to be Grateful is where we celebrate a story or a proChance cess that has happened within the last year where there has been some major things happen with multiple agencies coming together to support or to take care of a family in a miraculous way,” said Executive Director Nancy Chance. The event will be held at Woodland Country Club, beginning with a cocktail reception at 5:15 p.m. Dinner will follow. Andy Janning, president and founder of NO NET Solutions, will be the keynote speaker. He will offer inspiration and motivational thoughts throughout the evening. The event is a fundraiser with all pro-

ceeds going back to GSNOHC. “It funds and supports the holiday program for families,” Chance said. “We helped 28,978 families last year.” A video titled, “An Opportunity to Reunite a Family,” will tell the story of a family who benefitted from the assistance of GSNOHC. “This year, we have a family that the mother was a Hispanic interpreter for me for 12 years. The way we met her was through the Shop with a Cop program with Noblesville Police Department. She formed a friendship with the officer and his wife,” Chance said. “In 2013 she was diagnosed with cancer of the stomach. She was very worried about her kids in case something happened to her. That whole story unfolds.” Various agencies came together to assist the woman with her children. The event will celebrate Noblesville Police Department, Neighborhood Christian Legal and a local attorney. “It’s just a really powerful story,” Chance said.

Spanish artist shows downtown By Shelly Cate • news@currentnoblesville.com Spanish artist Josep Domenech has come to downtown Noblesville, opening an exhibit Oct. 9 at Platinum Living, 960 Logan art St. Domenech was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1952. His father and grandfather were carpenters and furniture craftsmen, leaving Domenech to grow up surrounded by their tools and expert artwork. A very talented artist as a child, he has won many awards for painting in his time as an artist. Incorporating his interests and knowledge of different materials and creating an artistic voice for himself. “To find something (you can do) that is different is a huge talent,” said Domenech via his translator. Instead of using traditional painting tools, Domenech uses pieces of fabric and his fingers to paint. Using the unique technique, he likes to add lots of paint to a canvas and then take it away to carve out the design of his piece, referring to it as “adding by subtracting.” In his current exhibition, Golden Age, he uses gold in his paints. This concept is used

to show how we take things around us for granted, and that we need to give them our attention and appreciation. Domenech wishes to transmit peaceful emotions through his artwork, while still creating a mystery. “The painting is asking you to come,” Domenech said, explaining his idea that the artist can create the painting, but the viewer has to finish it with their own interpretation. The Josep Domenech exhibit will be on display through Nov. 1.

Women voters for reform By Audrey Bailey • news@currentnoblesville.com The Hamilton County League of Women Voters and guest, Indiana State Senator Mike Delph (R-Carmel), met Oct. 14 politics at the Hamilton East Public Library in Noblesville in order to address issues of gerrymandering and redistricting laws in Indiana. The first line of business was to play a documentary called “Gerrymandering,” by Jeff Reichert. This reapportionment process happens every 10 years with the intent of ensuring that everyone is justly represented in the U.S. Congress. However, much of what the documentary, along with the evening’s panel members, discussed was how gerrymandering, or the process of legislatures redrawing district lines, makes districts flawed and advantageous to incumbents. But according to Mari Briggs, from the HCLWV, steps are being made toward Indiana redistricting reform. A bill was recently passed, permitting a study committee of seven legislatures and four citizens. Julia Vaughn, policy director of Common Cause, said they are aiming to get redistrict-

ing reform achieved through the legislature, without the need to amend the Constitution. “We’re running out of time to get this done by 2021,” Vaughn said. According to Vaughn, people need to get involved, forming coalitions and getting informed, in order to ensure that citizens have a part in redrawing their own districts. “The only way this is going to happen is through citizen pressure,” she said.

City of Noblesville wins White River Alliance award

news@currentnoblesville.com

The City of Noblesville recently won the 2015 Exemplary White River Festival Event Award from the White recognition River Alliance. This award recognizes the creative efforts and commitment displayed by one of the 2014 White River Festival partners, including the display of creativity and unique experiences for participants, notable participant attendance and integration of festival messages into the programming. “Our community is a good steward of the environment, and this award exemplifies the impact we are having on our largest natural amenity. The collaboration to create the White River Celebration has infused new energy for the waterway and combined education, arts and culture, the environment and fun,” Mayor John Ditslear said in a press release. The city and its partners started the process of reinventing the 20-year-old Hamilton Co. White River Cleanup with the inaugural Noblesville White River Celebration in 2014. Thanks to the cleanup, 409.1 tons of debris

have been removed from the river since 1995. Because of its success local leaders needed to find other ways to engage citizens and volunteers due to less trash. In addition to the cleanup, attendees also participated in education stations about the river and water works, “Fun in the River” with canoeing and kayaking at various points on the river and fishing at Schwartz’s Bait and Tackle. Nickel Plate Arts featured an artist colony and bridge fair, and Logan Street Bridge highlighted environmentally-themed art. Noblesville Main Street held its annual Rubber Duck Race before the festival ended with live music. “With this success came an expanded opportunity for celebrating the river and sharing its value as a major resource for the community. The vision of an annual Noblesville White River Celebration on a downtown bridge now has a firm foothold from several committed influential partners,” said Tim Stottlemyer, Noblesville stormwater coordinator, in a press release.

Li’l Dribblers builds basketball skills and character

By Sam Elliott • news@currentnoblesville.com

Having coached and been involved with youth basketball since 1989, Mark Tamm has seen players grow through his youth program, go on to play at the high school and college levels and then come back around to his youth teams – only this time in a different role. “I’ve watched a lot of kids go through high school and college, and now I’m actually coaching kids in our program right now that are kids of parents that I coached as youths,” Tamm said. Tamm was once a co-owner of what is now the Best Choice Fieldhouse in Fishers, but is now in his third year of running the Li’l Dribblers youth basketball program with his daughter, Emily Flanigan, at the RAM Sports Academy, 17455 Bataan Court, Noblesville. Li’l Dribblers offers basketball training for children as young as preschool up through fourth grade and aims to instill not just an appreciation and interest in the game, but also build strong character, bodies and minds while helping youngsters develop motor skills

and hand-eye coordination. “My daughter does a wonderful job, especially with the little ones. She’s just really good with them,” Tamm said. “This season right now we’ll probably have about 180 kids total. I already have about 160 signed up for the new season now, and we’ll probably have more before we get started.” Beginning with first graders, children play on Tamm’s teams with games in Fishers and Noblesville in addition to practices, with the new fall season beginning Oct. 24. The Li’l Dribblers’ next kindergarten league begins Oct. 31 and includes weekly practices before live games in which children can apply their newly learned skills. “Our kindergarten league is one of the biggest things we have,” Tamm said. “It’s a Saturday morning league we do with two sessions per year, November through December and January through February.” Li’l Dribblers offers year-round opportunities for children to develop their basketball skills, with their next slate of eight-week clinics beginning at the end of October.

City approves incentives for its first full-service hotel, conference center By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville is taking advantage of a huge development opportunity at Exit 210. At its Oct. 13 meeting, COVER STORY the Noblesville Common Council agreed to support the next major development at the I-69 exit – the city’s first full-service hotel and conference center – at the southwest corner of Olio Road and Tegler Drive. The 187,700-square-foot Embassy Suites by Hilton will house 198 suites at seven to eight stories high with a full-service restaurant and 5,000 square feet of meeting rooms. The 20,000-square-foot conference center, just more than half the size of Carmel’s Ritz Charles, would accommodate approximately 400 people and would be privately owned and operated. “Hamilton County’s hospitality industry is healthy, alive, thriving. Since 2011, we’ve had an annual growth rate of about 9 percent, and we are now selling about 100,000 more hotel rooms Myers (annually) than we did five years ago,” said Brenda Myers, president and CEO of Hamilton County Tourism. “But our weakest area of growth is really the small meetings market. In the county, we have about 200,000 square feet of conference space … but only about 7 percent of our hotel rooms are attached to meeting space, and that is the critical thing.” Both the hotel and conference center would sit on 6.2 acres and be development by Indy-based Sun Development & Management Corp., led by its CEO, Bharat Patel. But that’s less than half of what the entire developPatel ment would be. Five outlots will also be created, bringing up to four sit-down, non-fast food restaurants, as well and adding another 8.8 acres of development. The city says each outlot is expected to provide $50,000 annually to the city. Financially, by way of resolution, the city has agreed to a 10-year tax abatement (100 percent for the first five years, 80 percent for

by the numbers • 15 – Acres of development • 25,000 – Square feet of meeting and conference space • 187,700 – Square feet of hotel space • 198 – Planned hotel rooms and suites • 70 – Expected full-time jobs at the hotel and conference center • 15 to 25 – Expected parttime jobs at the hotel and conference center

The hotel and conference center development with its five outlots for other businesses will sit on the southwest corner of Olio Road and Tegler Drive, east of Hamilton Town Center.

the last five years) on the project. Sun Development & Management Corp. will pay $458,000 to the city annually until two of the five outlots are occupied, in which the company’s annual payment to the city would decrease to $358,000 annually for the first five years. In the last five years, the discount would drop to 80 percent, which would give the city $90,000 annual revenue on the property. In the 11th year, 2029, the abatement would end. At this point, the city says it expects to collect $879,000 annually. “We have come full-circle when I look at Noblesville today and where I am and what I’m trying to do here,” said Patel, who says he has built eight successful hotels around the state by way of tax abatement. In addition, the city will invest $6 million: $4 million in the conference center and $2 million in land development and other associated costs to the overall project. “This will be a catalyst project for Exit 210 and another opportunity to create jobs and additional economic development for the city of Noblesville,” Mayor John Ditslear said. “The high-end hotel and conference center will be a

business booming in the southeast Mayor Ditslear and city officials have long stood by the notion that Exit 210 has been the fastest-growing section of Noblesville in terms of hospitality, retail and dining development. In 2008, the exit welcomed its first major development, Hamilton Town Center, to be followed Ditslear by continual growth in a variety of other retail stores and restaurants. Indiana’s first Cabela’s location opened at the exit Aug. 20, and the exit is also home to the Saxony Corporate Campus, which houses companies like Zevacor Molecular, Helmer Scientific and Pharmakon Pharmaceuticals. Two other hotels will neighbor the future Embassy Suites by Hilton hotel; Cambria Suites and Holiday Inn Express & Suites (currently being developed).

major draw for out-of-town visitors, business guests in the high-tech business parks and tourists to Hamilton Town Center.” City Attorney Mike Howard said the city’s

Economic Development Commission or Redevelopment Commission would pay the $6 million from the proceeds of a 2016 bond issue. The tax increment financing district set up for the area will garner revenue as a result of the project that will exceed debt payment each year for the length of Howard the bond. Rezoning of the land still needs to be passed through plan commission and council, but within the resolution, the city has agreed to initiate and support the passage of a zoning ordinance for the planned development. If everything goes according to plan, the city says it expects the conference center and hotel to open at the end of 2017, with construction to begin as early as spring 2016. A fleet of employees for both the hotel and conference center is expected, too, in more than 70 full-time jobs and 15 to 25 part-time jobs. “This land now has an assessed value of $34,000 as farm ground,” Howard said. “We’re talking about investment anticipated on this site in excess of $30 million.”

An ode to Halloween

FR O M   T HE BA C K SH O P Back to you, Mrs. Clinton With Vice President Joe Biden announcing last week he would not pursue the Democratic Party’s nomination for the presidency, our original theory actually went down the drain. We had talked on more than one occasion about how we thought the vice president would wait to see how Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) would fare after the conclusion of the email server investigation, likely in February, before he would announce. Shows what we know. Regardless, we are disappointed by his decision, because we believed him to be a more-worthy challenger to Clinton than Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will turn out to be in the long run. But just as there is scant difference between Democrats and Republicans these days, we believe that is the case with Clinton and Sanders. ••• Hearty congratulations to Michael and Debbie Bourgerie, owners of the delightful Rosie’s Place on the Noblesville square. Rosie’s is celebrating its fifth anniversary. In the restaurant industry, which litters the roadside with so many “can’t-miss” and “great” ideas, this eatery obviously is the antithesis. Back in 2010, the nation was only beginning to emerge from the recession, yet the Bourgeries has this feeling that the time was right. Well played, folks! ••• Former President George W. Bush on Sen.

Wispy shreds

Commentary by Terry Anker

Confederate is defined first as “joined by agreement or treaty.” The synonyms include: cooperating, combined and united. Flag is defined as “a piece of cloth or similar material, typically oblong or square, attachable by one edge to a pole or rope and used as the symbol or emblem of a country or institution or as a decoration during public festivities.” Therein synonyms include: banner, standard and streamer. Both seem harmless enough. In fact, one might argue that they have a bias towards the positive. How can a cooperative streamer lead to violence? But like much of the human condition, the whole is far greater (and much different) than the sum of its parts. Through what has been a largely civil reframing, the Confederate Flag has been repositioned in our collective understanding. What represented to some the violent oppression of fellow humans by the immoral institution of slavery to others suggested dogged inde-

pendence and self-reliance. Several states continued to employ the flag and many memorials were dedicated to it. Whether you call the war between the states a quelling of rebellion or the “war of Northern aggression,” the battle is over and all can predict the silencing of the symbol – the flag is retiring into the ash heap of history. Most say it is time. Yet, why do we imbue so much in these wispy shreds of fabric? Can a bit of cloth just be a bit of cloth? Symbols are powerful. Candidates wrap themselves in flags to show patriotism or sniff stinky shoes to show, one can guess, solidarity with the common stinky-footed man. But, who owns these symbols. And, who gets to decide their meaning?

Oh, Halloween, how I love thee. A night of enchantment and bountiful candy. A time to prepare for that perfect costume. A pointy hat, black cape and a witch’s broom? Or maybe a ghost with a simple white sheet. Make sure to hem it or you’ll trip up your feet! No matter the act or role that they choose, remember that parents too need humor treats and/or booze. A spiced wine or cold beer, it’s really no matter, All Hallows Eve means a night to get fatter! At Chez Wilson, you see, chili and cornbread do reign, as I sport a fall apron and a dazzling new mane. ‘Cause every Halloween I wear a cool wig, usually a strawberry-blonde afro that goes over big. We decorate to the hilt, mainly just outside, with a graveyard and strobe lights, and goblins who’ve died. My favorite is our scene with the rusty lawnmower, underneath which lies a body who moved much slower than the machine which fatally pinned him beneath, and left him in pieces — his arms, legs and teeth. We add a little more décor each October that comes, like a beady-eyed raven amongst some fake plastic mums. Last year was the fog machine, though it actually kind of sucked. It overheated and shut down; I think we got . . . screwed. Anyhoo, we adore this most fantastic of eves. Whether in the heat we sweat or cold temps we freeze. As long as there’s no rain to ruin the night, we’ll traipse through the hood with utter delight. For on this night of all nights, with magic in the air, we celebrate family and tradition and my fake afro hair. Most importantly we relish our children’s wide eyes, filled with wonder and excitement and hopes still alive of landing the motherload of sugar and sweets, and setting up shop later to trade jellied feet. Then it’s off to bed where sleep comes late, as they replay the events of such a wonderful date. Happy Halloween to you all, and let me leave no doubt, it’s my most favorite day of the year!

Philadelphia. Originally a quintet called Unique Attraction, the band’s big break came in 1989 when they snuck backstage at a Bell Biv DeVoe concert and wowed BBD member Michael Bivins with a vocal performance. Bivins offered them a deal on the spot. Three years later, they recorded a song written by Indianapolis’ Babyface called “End of the Road.” The song become one of the biggest hits in history, spending 13 weeks at No. 1 on the pop charts, breaking the 11-week record of Presley’s 1956, double-sided single “Don’t Be Cruel/Hound Dog.” Since then, Boyz II Men have released 12 albums, including their latest, “Collide,” in 2014, and have won more than 30 awards, including four Grammys and nine American Music Awards.

If you are cat lover you probably have shared a cat video or two with festival a fellow cat admirer. Now, imagine sitting in a room with 400-500 feline fans watching a 75-minute string of 85 cat videos from all over the world. That’s what the Internet Cat Video Festival at the Indianapolis Museum of Art Nov. 20-21 is all about – and a special guest appearance by Bloomington’s celebrity cat, Lil Bub. “People are passionate about watching cat videos online, but it’s quite a different experience when you’re in a room watching these videos with hundreds of others celebrating that same feeling you have about cats,” said IMA curator Scott Stulen, co-creator of the festival. “Unlike dogs, which will perform for the camera, cats could care less. That’s more like humans, and I think that’s a large part of their appeal.” For more, visit currentnightandday.com.

Keeping warm this season By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Once again, as we drive to the game, we can’t help but notice that all the corn and bean fields have been harvested, and warm days seem to have vanished. Most of the fall color for trees is gone as well. So what does this mean? It means that we’ve pressed that little weather icon on our phones at least two dozen times. It means that we are going to have to find good ways to enjoy a tailgate party without shuddering from the cold. So here are some basics things to remember. Staying warm requires understanding two key principles: conduction and convection. Conduction is the transfer of heat between two solid surfaces that are in direct contact with each other, such as when you stand on cold pavement. Convection is the transfer of heat between a mass (such as your body) and a moving fluid or gas (such as a cool wind that whips around every square inch of you). Understanding both of these chilling mechanisms, as well as the workings of your body’s built-in thermoregulatory system, will help keep you warm when you next cold-weather tailgate. Dress in layers so you can keep the wind out and be able to remove items so that you don’t sweat when your body does heat up. Avoid the wind by setting up on the lee side of your vehicle or having a canopy-tent with a walled side. Have a heat source. The best one is the sun, but if there is no sun, then have your grill hot and in your seating area. Keep your body hydrated. Keep your body “furnace” stoked with hot foods, hot beverages and slow-burning food

Onion soup is just one warm recipe to help during chilly tailgates. (Submitted photo)

calories from proteins. A great option is a soup. Here’s one that tastes great and will warm your body as well. ONION SOUP Ingredients: 1 lb. onions sliced, 2 tsp. fine sugar, 2 heaping tbsp. flour, 8 cups beef stock (or 10 cubes bouillon in 8 cups H20), 4 tbsp. butter, Salt (unless you use bouillon which already has a lot) Pepper, French bread, Gruyere and/or Mozzarella cheese Preparation: In a soup pot, brown onions slowly in butter until they become transparent. Add sugar and cook just three more minutes before adding flour and cook another minute. Add beef stock and bring the whole mixture to a boil while stirring. Lower your heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Salt and pepper the soup as you like it, let it cool, and then refrigerate the soup (overnight) in a large square, re-sealable container. For more, visit currentnightandday.com.

Spiced fruit compote is the perfect topping for your breakfast. Not only the spices and tea will bring a beautiful aroma and warmth to your kitchen, but I love how simple, delicious and healthy this recipe is! Spoon over porridge, waffles, crunchy granola or vanilla ice-cream as dessert! The variations are limitless! You can make it the day before and warm it before serving. Note: Dried fruit is a good source of fiber, iron, potassium and antioxidants. SPICED FRUIT COMPOTE Cook: 15minutes / Serves: 4 Ingredients: 3 fruit tea bags, 1-2 teaspoons honey, 1/2 cinnamon stick, A pinch of

ground allspice, 2 cups dried mixed fruit (such as apricots, apples, cranberries, prunes, pears) roughly chopped Directions: Place tea bags in a pan, pour in 1 1/4 cup boiling water, and stir in the honey. Add cinnamon stick and allspice. Bring to a boil and simmer for five minutes. Add mixed fruit and simmer for another five minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to steep until ready to serve. Remove tea bags and cinnamon stick before serving. Spoon over plain yogurt. Ceci Martinez is a Zionsville resident who was born in New York and raised in Peru.

Homes sales increase Commentary by Jim Litten September saw fewer listings and pended home sales, but year to date, the market is perreal estate forming better than 2014. In the ninecounty central Indiana region, Tucker’s data revealed a 6.8 percent decline in home sales last month compared to September 2014. Year to date, sales were up 7.9 percent, and average yearto-date home sale prices climbed 4.9 percent to $185,536. Hamilton County saw a 5.3 percent decline in inventory while the average year-to-date sale price for the county climbed 3.9 percent to $277,715. • In Noblesville, the average yearto-date home sale price rose 9.9 percent compared to this time last year, increasing to $230,786. • Inventory moved at a faster pace in Noblesville in September 2015. Overall, homes sold in 63 days – 11 fewer days than this time last year. • Buyers in Noblesville had 417 homes available for sale last

month, the same amount as in September 2014. • Pended home sales have slipped in Noblesville. In September 2015, 76 homes sold – a decline of 40 homes compared to September 2014. • Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, five were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 10 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 21 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 36 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and four were priced at $99,999 or less. Residential real estate sales and listings are still very active. The region is 7.9 percent ahead of last year’s pended sales at this time, and that’s a sure sign we’ve ended the third quarter on a strong note. And, as average sale prices continue to rise, the incentive to list a home is still high. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company.

Colored contacts for Halloween? Think again

Commentary by Tammy Wittmann

A recent study published in “Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice” found the presence of harmful chemicals in the vision colorants used in cosmetic contact lenses bought without a prescription. They are urging consumers to beware of buying contact lenses without a valid doctor’s prescription because these lenses cannot be guaranteed to meet U.S. FDA standards for this type of medical device. Some of the chemicals found in the colorants were chlorine, titanium and iron, all of which can have devastating consequences for vision and ocular health. Dr. Jeffrey J. Walline, O. D. Ph. D., and chair of the American Optometric Association’s Contact Lens & Cornea Section, stated, “This makes these lenses extremely dangerous to even try for a short period of time, including, for example, a Halloween party.” These chemicals decrease the contact lens’ ability to breathe and the way they are applied to the lenses can be indirect contact with the cornea. This may cause the cornea to develop permanent scarring, corneal ulcers, infections or grow irregular blood vessels. Consequently, these

Dispatches

lenses are extremely dangerous to wear even for a few hours. It’s important to remember that all contact lenses require a prescription in order to be legally sold. The federal government considers all contact lenses to be medical devices. Federal law states any sale of contact lenses made without verifying the prescription with the prescribing eye doctor or without a complete copy of the prescription is illegal. This is law for a reason. These cosmetic lenses sold without a prescription, often on the internet or in salons or party stores, are not regulated, and we are now seeing hard evidence to prove there are chemicals which can permanently damage your eyes, even when worn for a short period of time. Only contact lenses prescribed by an eye doctor and worn according to the prescribed schedule are safe to wear. For more, visit www.contactlenssafety.org or www.aoa.org. Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

Blueprint for Improvement: An updated bathroom Commentary by Larry Greene

After

After solutions: The goal was to achieve a clean and “beachy” design that would last through time. 1. The oversized tub was removed and allowed room for a larger shower. 2. A more open layout was created which made the room seem larger and brighter by filtering in natural daylight. 3. A heater was installed in the toe kick of the vanity to help distribute heat throughout the room. 4. Decorative feet were added to the new tall vanities so they appeared more like furniture. 5. Sufficient and functional storage was added to the room using cabinetry and hooks. 6. The family’s stained glass windows finished off the beach theme by adding fun color.

Before

Background Info: This home is in the Smokey Knoll subdivision in Carmel. The homeowners have lived in the house for 24 years and felt it was time to remodel. They decided to start with the master bath.

Before problems: The room was dated and starting to show significant wear. The oversized tub was rarely used and blocked off the rest of the room. The vanities were short and lacked much needed storage. The shower was small and felt dark and closed in.

Parenting Time During the Holidays The holiday season can be a difficult time if you are going through or just recently divorced. This is especially true for young children, therefore, it is important to know what the schedule will be and deal with issues that may arise before they turn into substantial and potentially volatile disputes. The Guidelines. If your divorce decree or preliminary order indicates that you will operate under the Holiday provisions of the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, then the first step is to be certain that you have read these provisions and understand how they divide the holiday periods in question. A considerable amount of misunderstandings can be avoided by both parties reviewing the Guidelines and any discussions about varying from them can start from common ground. Ultimately, if the parties cannot agree and the decree establishes the provisions in the Guidelines as the default schedule, both sides also know what the consequences of not agreeing will be. If an agreement is reached, make sure it is clear all the way to times and dates. Stick to whatever schedule you agree upon and be courteous in timely dropping off and picking up the children, understanding that each moment with both families is precious for them and that scheduling delays can result in larger conflicts between parents. Consider Family Traditions. Holiday traditions are one thing children can look forward to even during difficult times. If your family has holiday traditions, make every effort to continue them. If the divorce or separation is recent and you believe it may be difficult on the children, consider a vacation or begin a new and fun family tradition that the children can get excited about. For example, if, historically, your family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve and the other parent’s family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Day, you should create a schedule that allows the children to participate and enjoy both families’ traditions each and every year. Sometimes, if the holiday traditions are identical, it may make sense to alternate holidays on a yearly basis rather than break-up each holiday into equal parts. This way, the children are able to participate in both homes even if the celebrations are on different days. Alternating holidays on an annual basis can also create more relaxing family holiday experiences as opposed to the stress involved with coordinating schedules.

Communicate. If the children are not with you for the holidays, call them, send cards and/or emails. Consider creating your own family celebration either before or after the actual holiday. Children love celebrations and gifts, regardless of the day and time. Conversely, if the children are spending the holiday with you, you should encourage and allow them to speak with the other parent. If the children are too young to call on their own, help them make or receive a call, and always give the children and the other parent a quiet moment together. Put the Children First. No matter how challenging your relationship is with your children’s father/mother, please remember that he/she is the parent of your children and, therefore, you should make every effort to respect the co-parenting relationship, striving to keep your children’s best interests as your top priority. Coordinate gift-giving. Ask the other what he/she plans on giving the children, and share your plans with the other parent. Help your children make a holiday card or purchase a gift for them to give the other parent. Offer to take your children shopping to buy presents for the other parent. For young children especially, holidays are exciting times and they want to give as much as they want to receive. Put personal feelings aside, knowing that building healthy and positive relationships between parents creates a winning situation for the entire family. Remember that the other parent will be in your life long after the children are grown, so the more you are able to effectively communicate and co-parent, the easier the transition will be on you and your children. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

This was the philosophy Donald Knebel, 69, author and Current columnist, had in mind when he created this book, showcasing 101 of his 150 travel columns. “The idea was to give people a sense of the world that they wouldn’t have otherwise,” Knebel said. A resident of Zionsville for 16 years, Knebel has always had a passion for traveling. He has a wife, Jennifer, whom he travels with, and three children: Mary, Caitlin and Chase. Knebel originally graduated from Purdue University with an engineering degree, but after a few years, decided to pursue a different path, and attended Harvard Law School. In 1974, Knebel moved to Indianapolis to work as partner in Barnes & Thornburg LLP. He retired in 2013, and now works as an adjunct

professor at Indiana University, lectures about religious understanding and writes a travel column for Current. Knebel first began writing these columns back in 2011. Before this, Knebel’s passion had taken him and his wife to “all the places most people go,” including cities like Rome and Paris. But, before too long, the two were booking flights and exploring some of the world’s more exotic destinations. “In the spring of 2006, we decided to go to Israel for about 10 days and came back with a sense that we really needed to learn more about the history and cultures of the Middle East, which is where civilization started,” Knebel said. From there, Knebel and his wife went to Egypt, India, Syria, Turkey, Morocco and several more places, adding up to a total of around 35 different countries; all of which are featured in Knebel’s columns, along with his new book. For more on Knebel’s new book and his travels, visit currentzionsville.com. “Flushed With Curiosity” will be featured at Black Dog Books in Zionsville on Nov. 7 from 2-3 p.m. Knebel will be signing books and giving a presentation on his travel to Cuba, beginning at 3 p.m.

Egyptian tombs known as City of the Dead Commentary by Don Knebel Turning an old joke line on its head, hundreds of thousands of Egyptians are “just living” to get into a cemetery, travel creating one of Cairo’s most unusual tourist destinations. In the 14th century, Cairo’s rulers established a cemetery in a desert area east of what was then one of the largest cities in the world, with a population of about 500,000. The rulers and other elites built their mausoleums on the site, the most impressive being the domed mausoleum of Sultan al-Ashraf Qaytbay, completed in 1474, which served as a model for later tombs. The mausoleums typically included large rooms over the underground gravesite where relatives of the deceased could stay during a 40-day mourning period and subsequently visit to pay their respects and obtain blessings. Over time, smaller buildings, having a similar purpose, were built over gravesites in what became known as the “Northern Cemetery,” which now extends for four miles along a six-lane highway. In the 20th century, Cairo grew rapidly as people moved in from the countryside. As land to accommodate the city’s increasing mil-

lions grew increasingly scarce and expensive, people began finding permanent shelter in the tomb buildings of the Northern Cemetery. Lacking the resources to resettle them, the government tolerated the illegal squatters and their numbers grew. Today, up to a million people live in and around the tombs. Children play amidst the graves while women hang their laundry on ropes strung from one mausoleum to the next. Lacking a better solution, the government has run electric wires and provided water to some of the tombs. Vendors
