Treinen remembered at annual run

DISPATCHES

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Michael Treinen Foundation will host its seventh annual Turkey Trot 5K run and 3K family walk Thanksgiving morning, allowing Philanthropy members of the community a chance to be active before the big meal and family and friends to remember the life of former Noblesville resident Michael Treinen. “It’s a fundraiser for the charities we sponsor,” said Kelly Treinen, Michael’s mother. “It’s a great way to start the Thanksgiving holiday. Kelly Treinen We don’t do it very early; 9 a.m. is a respectable time. We are done and torn down by 11 a.m.” The Turkey Trot started in 2008 as a fundraiser by Kelly’s daughter, Meredith, to participate in a marathon in Arizona. “We got a bunch of people to run in the neighborhood. We had 50 people in Oak Bay,” Treinen said. “It was by word of mouth and we raised $800.” The inaugural run was so successful that the foundation decided to make it an annual event. “The second year we had 300 runners in front of our house. We realized right away that there were parking issues and too many to do that,” Treinen said. The event moved from Oak Bay to downtown Noblesville. “It’s been great. Every year we have grown,” Treinen said. “Our goal is 1,500 runners this year.” Treinen said the timed event has participants from 12 states and this year will include a satellite race by a family in Gwen, Va. “They are wearing the T-shirts and running at their home because they can’t come,” she said. Before the race begins, a balloon lift will be held. Treinen said balloons will be available for $1 and include a variety of colors related to cancer. The race begins on Logan Street in downtown Noblesville and heads east on 17th Street to Field Drive before ending at Forest Park. The top 10 times for men and women receive pies. “This is a big year, Michael always wore the No. 7,” Treinen said. Treinen said the event has no special meaning being held on Thanksgiving, but started on that day back in 2008. “It’s just what we do on Thanksgiving morning,” she

Michael Treinen

said. “We never want to lose the reason why we are there. Michael’s the reason, but there is money we can raise and people we can help.” Treinen said her son had a personality that allowed him to get along with children, peers and adults. “He could talk to anybody. He was goofy, he wasn’t afraid to put himself out there,” she said. “He truly lived life to the fullest every single day. Sometimes it got him into trouble.” Treinen said one story that best describes her son was when he was in the hospital with terrible migraines the week before he died. He joked around with one of his nurses and, after she left, Treinen told her son he didn’t need to put on a show for everyone. He replied, “Don’t you think that everyone should smile every day?” “That was him, who he was,” Treinen said. Participation is a flat fee donation of $25. Treinen said the funds are used to support Riley Hospital for Children, where Michael was a patient, the Sparrow Club of Indiana, leukemia and lymphoma cancer research and to families that are struggling or affected by cancer. “The community was so incredible when we were in need. There was always something more we wanted to do,” Treinen said. For more information or to register, visit www. themichaeltreinenfoundation.org or https://secure. getmeregistered.com/MTFTurkeyTrot.

know more Michael Treinen, a three-sport athlete in high school, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia three weeks before high school graduation on May 11, 2007. After five intensive chemotherapy treatments, Treinen was officially cancer free on Dec. 11, 2007. Unfortunately, his remission did not last long and he relapsed on Jan. 25, 2008. Treinen needed a bone marrow transplant to survive – matches were found immediately but due to insurance delays and the inability to get his cancer under control, Treinen never got a transplant and died May 25, 2008.

Public safety – As families take to the roads this holiday season, law enforcement is reminding drivers extra patrols will be cracking down on impaired driving and seat belt violations to increase safety on the state’s streets and highways.

Philanthropy – Legacy Christian School, 470 Lakeview Dr., is serving as a collection site this week for Operation Christmas Child, which provides millions of children around the world with shoeboxes of toys, school supplies and notes of encouragement. Since 1993, Samaritan’s Purse has delivered gift-filled shoeboxes to more than 113 million children in more than 150 countries through Operation Christmas Child. For many of these children, a gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received. For more information, call 823-6042 or visit samaritanspurse.org. Permitting success – The October building permit reports indicate that in the Greater Indianapolis Nine-County area, Single-Family Building Permits increased one percent over the 2013 numbers year-to-date.

Sailor mom surprises daughter By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hazel Dell Elementary School’s Veterans Day assembly not only honored armed and retired solders, but included a Veterans Day surprise reunion of one of its students and her U.S. Navy mother on Nov. 11. Petty Officer 2nd Class Laura Endicott took a day of liberty from the U.S.S Battan to see her daughter, Leah Dunlap, 9. “It was the best feeling I’ve had since I’ve left,” Endicott said. “The only thing that could have been better is if she was on the pier (when the ship docked). It’s hard seeing all the families.” The two were reunited at the assembly and came as a shock to Dunlap, who along with the school first heard about a special guest before seeing her mother walk out onto the stage. “I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh! Who are they talking about?’” Dunlap said. “I didn’t know if they were actually going to be talking about her. I was just wondering who they were talking about and I didn’t know who it was going to be until she

showed up.” “I was nervous and scared. I knew I was going to cry,” Endicott said. “It’s really great to see her.” Endicott has been deployed at sea for the past five months. “It’s not an easy thing,” she said. “We talk through e-mail and I see pictures posted. It’s hard to see your friends with their kids.” Endicott said the hardest part of being apart from Leah is not seeing her on a daily basis. “I have pictures where I sleep, where I work and on my computer, and I live vicariously through my parents. They put pictures up and take her to gymnastics – they get to see all that that I don’t,” she said. Unfortunately, the reunion was short lived as Endicott had to return to Norfolk, Va., on Nov. 12. The two said they planned to spend the day doing things together like playing video games and talking. “We’ll probably just lay around and be lazy,” Endicott said. “I’ll see her again on Thanksgiving.” Endicott said she will be deployed again in December.

Meet your teacher, Kim Small Kim Small teaches first grade at Noble Crossing Elementary. She earned her teaching degree from Purdue University and her master’s from Indiana Wesleyan University. Small is co-coach of the school’s Spell Bowl team with Peggy Wood and Young Hoosier Book Club with Kristi Boyd. Why did you become a teacher? I enjoy motivating and inspiring students to learn. It is always a great feeling to witness those “a-ha” moments and listen to the reasoning behind their ideas. What are your goals for students? Each child is blessed with different abilities and talents; therefore, my goals depend on the individual student. Overall, I want my students to become well-rounded, independent, problem solvers with a desire to become a lifelong learner. I want our students to value their contribution to the classroom and value the contribution of others. What advice do you give parents? It is important to be active in your child’s learning process. Volunteer in your child’s classroom, participate in activities with them, be their ad-

vocate and, most of all, love and nurture them. Overall, I always try to remember: slow down, be OK with mistakes, encourage your child to do their best, support and help as needed but let them do their own work. Eat dinner at the table and discuss your day, give yourself a break and/or a “do over” when those not so great parenting moments occur. Smile at your kids, praise them, praise them, praise them, laugh with them, hug them – they will be seniors before you know it. What makes Noblesville special? The sense of community through downtown activities, parades, school environment and activities for families. The community works together to develop schools that are able to enhance our kids’ learning. The Noblesville community has a common goal to help students succeed. What is something others might not know about you? I grew up on a family farm in Boone County and showed hogs in 4-H.

District scores A-grade from DOE news@currentnoblesville.com

Noblesville Schools announced that it has earned all “A” grades from the Indiana Dept. of Education. The diseducation trict overall received an “A” grade and each of the 10 individual schools received “A’s” in the 2014 assessment.

teachers and principals put into the process of learning every day,” said Annetta Petty, executive director of learning for Noblesville Schools. “We continue to strive to better serve all our students and appreciate this recognition from the state as we challenge ourselves to succeed.” In 2013, all Noblesville schools except three received “A” grades. North Elementary, White River Elementary and Hazel Dell Elementary received “B’s” that year. Those schools raised their letter grades Petty for 2014, making the perfect score across the district possible.

Head Start gets helping hand By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Thankful. Head Start Director Christine Garza said that word best described her feelings for the volunteers who philanthropy spent a day at 17645 Oakmont Dr., Noblesville, assisting the Hamilton County nonprofit agency instead of at their usual jobs. Employees from Capital Group provided volunteers, time, effort and supplies to enhance the center’s outdoor classroom. Garza said this was the third year the school has received assistance from United Way and volunteers. “Without assistance, it wouldn’t get done,” Garza said, adding the school is federally funded and families are not charged to attend. “There is not money in the budget.” United Way of Central Indiana joined Capital Group and Family Development Services’ Hamilton County Head Start to update the center’s playground and build additions to the outdoor classroom. Head Start teacher Stephanie Covey said the outdoor classroom includes a science

area with rocks, balance scales and water wall. “Children are experiencing STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning,” she said. Capital Group also built a chalkboard for literacy and math skills, benches, a slide and playhouse. “Children will learn by exploring the outdoor classroom – making the outdoor fun is the key,” Garza said. The Hamilton County Head Start Program is a service for low-income at-risk children and families. “Low income is probably the No. 1 factor,” Garza said. “It’s spread across every community in Hamilton County.” Garza said Head Start has 142 students from 6 weeks to age 5 with eight infants and toddlers and 134 preschool students. The center was previously housed at Monon Trail Elementary in Westfield and Conner Elementary in Noblesville before finding its new location, a former Polly Panda. “It’s nice to be in a place that was built to what we do,” Garza said.

COMMUNITY Tipton teen killed after ITM dinner train collides with vehicle

Current in Noblesville

The Ville serves up opening, tasty meals

news@currentnoblesville.com A 17-year-old Tipton girl died Nov. 8 when a train owned by Noblesville’s Indiana Transportation Museum collided with a pickup crash truck she was driving in Tipton County. According to the Tipton Police Dept., the crash occurred at 8:18 p.m. in the 400 block of Park Road on the south side of Tipton. Officials said the 2003 white Chevy pickup truck had been pushed more than 300 Ridenour feet south of the intersection and was still in contact with the front of the sixpassenger car locomotive. The unresponsive driver, Ava Jean Ridenour, was driving home from work at the time. The vehicle’s air bags had deployed and Ridenour was not wearing a seatbelt. The Tipton County Coroner’s report said she died at the scene. Police said the ITM “Blue Arrow” dinner train was traveling approximately 18 mph southbound approaching Park Road. It had reduced speed prior to the crossing and was sounding its engine bell and whistle, according to witnesses. The train engineer immediately activated the emergency brake to bring the train to a stop after the collision. Ridenour was traveling east on Park Road following another vehicle. Police said each vehicle disregarded the active warning grade crossing lights and audible signals. There are no traincrossing arms at the track crossing. Passengers said the train had just left 10 minutes before the accident. The train was scheduled to stop in Atlanta and then head to Noblesville and Fishers. The 100 passengers on board were transported back to their destinations via buses. Ridenour, the daughter of Kim and Julie (Hamilton) Ridenour, was a junior at Tipton High School. She was born in Noblesville and was an active member of Center Grove Baptist Church in Kokomo and was very involved in the youth ministry at Heartland Church. She was a member of the THS softball team and had recently auditioned for “American Idol.” Prior to playing high school softball, she was very active on many local travel teams playing for the Howard County Thunder and the Noblesville Flames. She worked at Miller’s Merry Manor as a dietary assistant. Paws & read – Would you like to read to a dog? How about just get a sloppy smooch from a library pooch? How about a kitty?

Mayor John Ditslear joined Keith and Raquel Brooks and their friends and family for the ribbon cutting of The Ville, 101 N. 10th St., on Nov. 13. The newest restaurant in downtown Noblesville is the former Eddie’s Corner Café. The Brookses were featured on an episode of “Buy This Restaurant” on the Food Network, which aired in March, and worked more than seven months to renovate the space and kitchen. Keith serves as owner and executive chef. His culinary team includes sous chef Marc Fry and chef Michael Harris. Brooks, who previously worked in Chef Emeril Lagasse’s kitchen at the Commander’s Palace, said his New Orleans heritage plays a part in the restaurant and the American cuisine menu will focus on health and wellness. “Things that are fresh, nothing frozen and not many fried items,” he said. “It’s a balance of hearty and healthy but I’m not going to be a health nut.” Lunch is served 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and dinner is 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. The Ville has a brunch menu from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call 774-5301 or visit www.dineattheville.com.

Curves ahead

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Hear us now, believe us later

Random thoughts while anticipating the full-fledged kickoff of the holiday season, even though it has been under celebration in certain mass retailers since, oh, about Aug. 17: • We were taken to task last week for our column of two weeks ago about Hillary Rodham Clinton. Once more, we have been accused of attacking only the Democratic Party. We’re told we never take umbrage with what the Republicans do – and nothing could be more distant from the truth. You’re staring at the words of two fiercely independent voters and we will repeat once more, with the same conviction, this: Our nation deserves to have a viable third party. The two existing parties have shown often enough they can screw up a two-car funeral. Questions? • One of us was flying back to Indianapolis from points west late last week, when the plane was forced to return to the gate because a passenger began experiencing a nosebleed. No one wanted to say it, but many were thinking, Is this Ebola? An ambulance met the plane at the gate, the passenger was checked, treated, cleared and permitted to re-board the aircraft. While the delay was somewhat troubling, coming at the end of a long day, the abundance of caution deployed by the carrier and the medical personnel not only was prudent, but it also was fairly comforting. Such are the times in which we’re living these days. • And about the coming holidays, we’re fairly energized around here for the delivery of our Gifts 2014 special section, which will be included in the Nov. 25 edition of Current. This year, we’re focusing on “Hoosier Holidays,” which means gift items will have had to be designed, manufactured or otherwise created in Indiana. Overall, we hope you’ll find the information a meaningful and useful way to navigate the season. And, no, we’re not going to tell you to avoid holiday debt by cutting up your credit cards or sticking to a budget; we’ll leave that to other media sources.

BELIEVE IT! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Charlotte, North Carolina, women must have their bodies covered by at least 16 yards of cloth at all times.

Agri-culture

Commentary by Terry Anker

At a recent dinner, I was introduced to the speakers’ podium with a reference to my rural roots. “Believe it or not,” it was declared with a grin, “Terry grew up farming.” Raised in unincorporated Indiana, somewhere between Delphi in Carroll County and Monticello in White County, my earliest memories are of chasing my granddad around to “help” with chores. Ultimately, our family owned a fertilizer and seed distribution company, which meant long days (and often nights) of driving nurse trucks and delivering anhydrous ammonia to waiting tractors. Yet, Mom and Dad always focused on keeping me and my sister in the classroom. It wasn’t until years later that I began to realize how little they’d expected of me – and how much of the burden that they’d carried, especially in the spring and fall. Dad would arrive home well after dinner. Mom would have me fed and finishing my homework. In the hardest times, we’d meet Dad for supper in the field on a pickup truck’s

tailgate. Mom worked a full-time job in town and still managed to keep everything running. Winters were slower. School activities and the occasional fishing or hunting trip filled the calendar. This all seemed very natural to me. It was our culture. Our agri-culture. Everybody worked. Everybody worked hard. Sure, we had fun; but when the skies were dry and the season was in, we stayed in the fields – it might rain tomorrow. The farms once known to populate most of our fair state have faded into our collective memory. Large, capital-intensive operations continue to consolidate production. We may be better off for it. But what of our culture? Even as urbanization replaces traditional America, what can we expect? For me, I value our agri-culture and hope that it continues to have a place in the new order.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything. – Thomas Sowell

You know you’re in a bad way when you find yourself huddled in the garage, tears and mascara streaming down your face, shoving empty Capri Suns, a used coffee filter and two wet paper towels back into a ripped-open trash bag and cussing the living daylights out of your stupid Labrador. Flashback to a couple of Sundays ago, and that was me. Obviously not the pillar of graceful beauty I’d been going for. How did I get there? Read on, my friends. You may recall that my life has been a bit stressful of late. Work, parenting, hormones . . . an evil trifecta hell-bent on sending me into a mild middle-age funk. I thought I’d managed the worst of it, but the universe had a few more curveballs to throw in my direction, starting with a sudden week-long business trip for my husband Doo that began the same day as my first-ever speech team coaching gig. Ten hours at a local high school on a Saturday plus my unnerving experience driving a mini-bus to and from said high school already had me a bit grumpy when I arrived home that evening to begin my term as a single mom. But when I saw the state of the house, I really lost it. I screamed at kids and threw dishes and then stormed outside to begin disassembling our blown-over, left-to-die Halloween decorations just so I could have a moment alone. Luckily for all involved, I went to bed soon thereafter before I could do any real damage. The next morning, I felt only slightly better, as nightmares of a zombie apocalypse robbed me of blissful sleep. Then another curveball. My youngest learned that her good friend’s father had passed away the day before. She held it together for a while, but on the way to Sunday school, finally broke down. Her comment, “I can’t imagine not having my daddy,” broke my heart. As guilt from the previous night’s mommy rampage settled in, so did the awareness of how petty my issues have been. I was a horrible person for complaining about a dirty kitchen and bratty children and an absentee spouse (even though he was probably enjoying a nice steak dinner before heading off to his clean, quiet hotel room). So when I pulled back into the garage and saw trash strewn across the floor, well, there you have it. The build-up of fatigue, bitterness and sadness over the last day and a half erupted into a geyser of sobs and F-bombs. Not my finest moment. I’m pleased to report, however, that I’m mostly back to normal, undoubtedly just in time for another curveball. I’ll keep you posted! Peace out.

Bennett brings energy and ‘heart’ to Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

At 88, Tony Bennett recently became the oldest performer to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with his album with Lady Gaga. Bennett broke his previous age record of 85, set when concert “Duets II” made No. 1 in 2011. “I don’t view it as reinventing myself as I am singing the songs that I have made the cornerstone of my recording career, but what thrills me about working with these younger artists is it exposes their audience to the Great American Songbook so that this music continues to be explored and discovered,” Bennett said. “Particularly with my new album with Lady Gaga — as she is a fantastic jazz singer — so I know that all her millions of fans will now listen to how great she sounds and start appreciating jazz music and popular standards.” Bennett will perform at the Palladium in Carmel at 8 p.m. on Nov. 21 with his daughter Antonia. Bennett answered some questions from Current about his legendary career. Thirty years ago, did you think you would still be doing live shows today and how have you kept so active? Performing in front of a live audience has

always been the biggest thrill for me because it’s spontaneous and it’s the most direct communication you can have as a musical performer. So I think the fact that I have always been touring throughout my career has been a key part to my longevity. It’s a bit easier now with one show a night than when I started out at the Paramount Theatre and we did seven shows a day, but I still love it. I like to make people happy and I hope when they leave the theater they have forgotten some of their own problems and have just enjoyed themselves. You’ve performed with the greatest of the greats, which one stands out the most for you? That is very tough as I toured for two years with Lena Horne, but I have to say singing and knowing Judy Garland has been a treasured part of my career. She was a complete original and an authentic artist of the highest measure and a dear friend. You’ve said you never sing “I Left my Heart in San Francisco” the same way. How hard is to keep challenging yourself that way? As an entertainer, it is my responsibility to ensure that the audience enjoys themselves, so I want to perform the songs that I know the

audience has come to hear me sing so it’s not hard at all. I tour with a magnificent jazz quartet and I have always gravitated to performing with jazz artists because they are master musicians which enables them to be spontaneous. We can decide to change the tempo of a song 10 seconds before we perform it on stage, depending on the pacing of the show and if we need to do an up-tempo or move to a ballad. So every show is different from one night to another because every audience is different and they are as much a part of the performance as we are. Which Great American Songbook performer do you most admire and why? I really admire them all because they are keeping the finest popular music ever written alive by choosing to perform and record these songs. There was a golden age of songwriting in America in the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s when you had (George) Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, just a once-in-a-lifetime moment when these master craftsmen were writing songs. And I believe these songs will ultimately become America’s classical music. To read more on Bennett, visit www.currentnightandday.com.

‘Pete ‘n’ Keely’ a must for this month Commentary by Jillian Albrecht Seasonal affective disorder starts to affect all of us this time of year. To combat our SAD symptoms, we can use special theater lights, take vitamin D or move to a tropical island. However, I think it’s at least worth a try to take in a fabulous musical comedy before I start shopping for Bermuda shorts. I’ll have the opportunity to do just that this month in The Studio Theater at The Center for the Performing Arts when “Pete ‘n’ Keely” opens. The show centers on Pete and Keely reuniting for a television special that’s meant to capitalize on their former success as a singing duo. The only possible issue. The two haven’t said a word to each other since their explosive break-up five years ago. Will they fall in love all over again or will they end up on tabloid covers in handcuffs?

Either way, the show must go on, and you’ll have to come to the show to see how it all works out. The production is brought to us by Actors Theatre of Indiana and is underwritten by Bose McKinney & Evans, LLP. Judy Fitzgerald, who also stars as ATI co-founder and associate artistic director, and Michael Ehlers will play the leads in this variety-show-inspired musical. The show runs until Nov. 23. Tickets are available through the website: actorstheatreofindiana.org or by phone at 843-3800. In addition to supporting the arts, come support your mood. “It’s hysterical! The music is fantastic. I hate to keep saying it, but it’s just fun!” Fitzgerald said. If you remember loving Lucy and Desi, Sonny and Cher or “The Carol Burnett Show,” you’ll be in for a nostalgic treat. If not, you can fall in love with the music, the jokes and the camaraderie of that era in entertainment for the first time.

I recently realized that, beside the possibility of snow, I love the month of November! My youngest daughter has fitness a birthday which makes it extra special, but it is also the month of what I call “Turkey Day.” I love getting together with family or friends, I love pitching in and cooking the Thanksgiving feast, I love watching football, love playing games with my kids and just enjoying a day off. What are your plans for turkey day? Is your health part of the game plan? A few years back, some of my family members started participating in the Drumstick Dash, a walk/run in the Broad Ripple area that supports Wheeler Mission Ministries. It has been a great way to start the day, get some activity before our family feast and help others out in the process. If you want something closer to home in Fishers, maybe the YMCA Wishbone 5k, which supports the YMCA Annual Campaign, is a good fit for your family. Close to Carmel, try The Bolt for the Heart 5K Run which helps support HeartReach Carmel in providing lifesaving automated external defibrillators in central Indiana. If signing up for a walk/run isn’t your cup of tea, there are lots of other ways to benefit

your health on a day that is typically thought of as “eat until you can’t eat anymore.” By the way, I don’t recommend this. Enjoy what you are eating, just don’t go overboard, it never feels good. Initiate a family walk or bike ride around the neighborhood. Taking a walk after your Thanksgiving feast is a great way to spend time with family before you have dessert. Even if the weather is a bit chilly, you can break out the corn hole set or Frisbee for some backyard fun. Play touch football while the turkey is cooking. Hide mini-pumpkins/ gourds and have the kids hunt for them. Maybe fitness for the brain is more your family’s speed, so have a game tournament, cards, checkers, maybe even chess. What about your heart and soul health? Sign up to work at a soup kitchen for a couple hours. Maybe ask all your family and friends coming to dinner to bring items to donate to a food pantry or shelter. On this “Turkey Day,” be thankful and do something that benefits your health, your family’s health and maybe even others. Kathleen M.

Innovation in building, lending

By Navar Watson • news@currentnoblesville.com

It all began with three bad construction loans. Last year, a builder working with 1st Signature Lending on three of its now open construction loans went out of business. Vic Vance, COO of the lending company, decided to build the homes anyway. Today, the families live in their homes, lien-free. Then, Vance had an idea – what if he “married” building with lending? This led to the creation of Signature Series Homes, an independent building company working closely with 1st Signature lenders and their clients. “We process your loan, we underwrite your loan, we close your loan, we fund your loan,” Vance said. “It’s all under our roof … The buck stops here.” Signatures Series Homes introduces a team of experienced design specialists. Vance, who worked 16 years in the building industry, is CEO of the company. Normally, when a person is building a home, there’s a miscommunication between the builders of the house and the bank lending the money, Vance said. The builder doesn’t know what the lender wants and the lender doesn’t know how their money’s being used. With 1st Signature Lending and Signature Series Homes, the lender and the builder collaborate, working with the same clients to build their “dream home.”

“We’re, in essence, watching our own back,” Vance said. “We’ve got the whole viewpoint of the whole thing.” Vance said banks break a lot of people’s hearts, denying loans due to low credit scores or demanding high down payments to build a home. Rather than requiring a 20 percent down payment for a construction loan, 1st Signature allows its borrowers to build a home with little money down, like 3.5 percent, depending on the type of loan the borrower qualifies for. Additionally, if the borrower is working with a realtor, the realtor is paid at the closing of the selected lot – not once the house is finished. There is no second closing on the house, Vance said. The borrowers already own their home and move in once it’s built. “We designed our loan as it will be, not as it is,” Vance said. “When you look through the loan, you see the house.” 1st Signature’s construction-to-permanent loan is eligible anywhere in Indiana, though Signature Series Homes builds only in the metropolitan area. The offices are at 54 N. Ninth St. on the downtown square. Since February, the two companies have started about eight projects together. “We’re still warring it out,” Vance said. “We want to develop and give to people the best possible service we can … as well as a concept like none other.”

DISPATCHES Nelson hired at Carmel law firm - Casandra J. Nelson has been hired as the new associate lawyer at Campbell Kyle Proffitt LLP’s Carmel office, 11595 N. Meridian St., Suite 701. Nelson grew up in Noblesville and was admitted to the Indiana State Bar Association this year. Nelson graduated from Indiana University in 2010 with a bachelor’s in journalism. She received her law Nelson degree, magna cum laude, from Florida Coastal School of Law in 2014. Nelson is a member of the Indiana State, Hamilton County and Indianapolis bar associations, a volunteer at the Humane Society of Hamilton County and a Sparrow Clubs of Indiana board member.

Firm adds school law attorney - Church Church Hittle & Antrim has added Peter L. Goerges as an of counsel attorney in the firm’s school and education law practice. Goerges, who previously was an attorney at Hodges and Davis, P.C., counsels attorneys and school administrators in a variety of areas in education law, including school law, school board issues, construcGeorges tion law, finance, student discipline, employment law and negotiation and labor arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. Goerges’ more than 40-year law career is highlighted by his service as the first attorney hired by the Indiana School Boards Association.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Hello. I’ve recently started receiving and love your columns. Now I have an issue I’d like for you to grammar guy address. It seems like so many people are starting a sentence with the word ‘so,’ even when it appears to be incorrect (not to mention extremely annoying). Would you please check the rules and let people know what they are? I know it’s the latest trend, but the sooner it runs its course, the better. Thanks and keep up the good work. We need more people like you.” – Marlena Linne Answer: Is that what the kids are doing these days? I’ve had my head buried in Céline for the last few weeks, though no apologies there. Maybe I’m not as cutting edge as I used to be. At the heart of the matter here is whether it’s acceptable to begin a sentence with a conjunction – even a coordinating conjunction like “and,” “but” or “so.” And, as we’ve discussed previously, it is. Of course, as the Oxford Dictionaries say in their defense of leading with conjunctions, “it’s best not to overdo it.” Fortunately we only have to hop over to Cambridge (Dictionaries) for a concise list of just when it’s acceptable to start a sentence with “so.” For brevity’s sake I won’t include all of them, but here are a few: • To connect a sentence with something that

has been said or happened previously. (“So as I’ve written before…”) • To refer to a discovery that you have just made. (“So you really can swim right after lunch!”) • To make certain you or someone else understand something correctly. (“So a conjunction connects two ideas, right?”) • To introduce a subject of conversation that is of present interest, especially when asking a question. (“So, what are the Colts’ odds of winning the Super Bowl this year?”) • To belittle a point under discussion (“So what?”) So, what’s the point, Mr. Grammar Guy? Beginning a sentence with any conjunction, “so” or otherwise, should be done sparingly and to serve a particular purpose like adding emphasis, controlling the pacing of a sentence and, most importantly – perhaps necessarily, even – establishing a connection to a previous idea or statement. After all, a conjunction must still serve its proper function. (If you’re still not clear what that is, I believe there may be an educational tune floating around there somewhere to help you out. And it’s catchy, to boot!) Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at rjfische@gmail.com.

Hippos: The City on a Hill

Commentary by Don Knebel

Since 1630, when Puritan leader John Winthrop addressed his followers onboard the ship Arbella, politicians have likened the Ameritravel can experience to the shining “city on a hill” described by Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount. They might have opted for a different metaphor if they had known that Jesus was referring to the glistening buildings of a thoroughly pagan city. Jesus delivered his famous sermon from the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, near his base in Capernaum. At the time, Hippos was a bustling city atop a flat hill rising more than 1,000 feet above the water on the eastern shore of the lake, near today’s Kibbutz Ein Gev. In making his points, Jesus referred to salt and lamps, items his followers encountered every day. Most scholars believe Jesus had Hippos in mind when he told his listeners that “a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden” because it was the only hilltop city they had seen. Hippos was founded by the Greeks in about 200 B.C., its name reflecting the hill’s claimed resemblance to a horse. After a period under control of the Jewish Hasmoneans, in 63 B.C. the city

came under the rule of the Romans, who made it one of the 10 semi-autonomous Greco-Roman cities of the Decapolis. Recent excavations have revealed that life in first-century Hippos was much different from that in the Jewish fishing villages where Jesus taught. Archaeologists have uncovered a column-lined Roman main street running the 500-meter length of the hilltop, flanked by theaters, nude bath houses, temples to Zeus and Aphrodite, and a fountain dedicated to sensuous water nymphs, all gleaming in the afternoon sun when Jesus and his followers gazed across the lake. A narrow path leads to the ruins of Hippos, with signs warning: “Mines on both sides of the trail; walk only on the marked path.” At the top of the hill are remains of several Byzantine-era churches, destroyed by an earthquake in 749 A.D. Hundreds of years after the Sermon on the Mount, Christian lights finally shone from the famous city on a hill.

High Point show sets trends Commentary by Vicky Earley It is the debutante ball for home furnishings. It is where interior design indoors trends are identified and it is where styles in home décor are launched. It is the High Point Furniture Market in North Carolina.

One hundred and eighty buildings and almost 12 million square feet of exhibit space come to life with the industry trends. The fall 2014 show did not disappoint.

Polar Vortex, two of my least favorite words Commentary by Randy Sorrell Amazingly, the 2013-14 prolonged winter did not cause the horrific plant loss and patio issues we anticipated. outdoors But it did show itself in other delightful ways. A few of our ceramic pots disintegrated and my water spigot exploded. This year, I am determined to implement the “winter to-do” list that follows, starting with disconnecting the garden hose from the spigot and storing ceramic pots in the garage. HIGH Start high and complete a visual inspection searching for curled or missing roof shingles and gutters that are hanging, disconnected or overflowing with leaves that result in rain spilling over the edges. All are bad. Inspect for properly sealed windows, secured screens and evidence of critter damage to wood surfaces. LOW Ground level check list: 1. Disconnect the garden hose from the spigot and turn off inside if available. 2. Breakable pots inside (synthetics can remain outside). 3. Store patio furniture and cushions inside or carefully cover with a tarp (looks tacky, but works) or with ap-

propriate covers. It has caused our five-year-old patio furniture to still look predominantly new. 4. Store outdoor rugs to prolong their life. 5. Inspect landscape lighting fixtures and bulbs. Change as necessary along with adjusting the timer. Ours remain on all night for safety and ambiance. 6. Install weather strip at exterior doors and garage door as necessary. 7. Clean plant beds are happy beds, same with the lawn. Do a final leaf and debris removal to avoid future fungus issues. 8. Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, replace furnace filters after a professional furnace inspection. 9. Stock up on ice melt, a new snow shovel and window scrapers. 10. Auto emergency kit in place? Escape the Polar Vortex-induced doldrums by practicing gratitude, joy, hope, faith and family.
