OUR VIEWS

It is our position Hamilton County residents, should be aware of the damage caused to trees by the use of the herbicide, Imprelis. The DuPont-manufactured product, was recently approved by the EPA to treat broadleaf weeds and has been widely used on lawns, athletic fields, cemeteries, golf courses and sod farms. Touted as “environmentally- friendly”, Imprelis seems to be unfriendly to Norway Spruces, Eastern White Pines, and other trees with shallow root systems. DuPont began receiving reports of dying trees around Memorial Day of this year.

Hamilton County has been hit hard hit by Imprelis usage. Visual symptoms of damage include browning, twisting and the curling of needles and leaves. The Indiana Chemist’s office has issued a stop- sale on Imprelis usage in Indiana and a recall is underway. Dupont has set up a hotline, 866-796-4783 to report damage. For more information about Imprelis, visit www.imprelis-facts.com/faqs/. DuPont also initiated a product return and refund program in mid-August. Trees seem to be under siege in Indiana— drought, the Emerald Ash borer, and now Imprelis. Trees add so much to our environment, whether it’s aesthetics or economics or environmentallysafe, it behooves us to pay attention to their survival and care.

School buses

It is our position school buses must strictly adhere to posted speed limits. Far too often we see the familiar yellow vehicles careening through neighborhoods at excessive speeds, as measured by both the law and reasonable standards of safety.

Even in school zones, the buses are frequently the primary violators of the speed limits.

School bus safety concerns increase as daylight slips away making morning routes take place before the sun rises. Young children hurrying to the bus stop might not be seen as easily, and there is less time to react if there is an obstacle in the way.

We understand the bus drivers are on a tight schedule to gather their riders and get them to school on time. Traffic concerns and lagging children may cause even more delays. If these are the sole reasons for their excessive speed, then either more time has to be built into the schedules or the schools must make provisions for an occasional late bus. But we cannot allow the safety of our children – both on foot and already on board – and our fellow commuters to be jeopardized by bus drivers who ignore the rules.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you.

In Louisiana, biting someone with your natural teeth is “simple assault,” while biting someone with your false teeth is “aggravated assault.”

Every week, we will print a portion of the U.S. Constitution, followed by a portion of the Indiana Constitution. We encourage you to benchmark government policies against these bedrock documents. Today: the Indiana Constitution.

FROM THE BACKSHOP Are we sure city’s is a fat-free budget?

Financially, Noblesville is in the black – where it should be – and at the start of 2012, city workers will be getting their first pay raises in two years. Every employee gets a 1.5-percent bump, courtesy of a Common Council vote last week. We haven’t seen the budget, but we hope there is not one ounce of fat in it. To have pork and to have to mete out salary increases would be wholly unacceptable to us – and you, we assume.

••• We have our reasons, and so do five finalists that have posted videos in the I HEART Noblesville Video Contest. Now, we need you to vote in a winning entry. Go to www. destinationnoblesville.com/iheartnoblesville to do so. The winner will be announced at the city’s First Friday Movie Night on the square this week. Voting continues through then. Kudos to the city’s economic development group on the initiative.

••• As you might know, Current is a proud sponsor of Chaucie’s Place’s Treasure Our Children Beach Bash at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 13 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel. Without a doubt, this will be a fun – and meaningful – Thursday night out. Not only are we attempting to help raise money for the facility, we’re trying to bring awareness of its reason for existence. So, plan to put on some sum-

Noblesville High School’s student newspaper, Mill Stream, received an International Second Place Award from Quill and Scroll, an honor society for high school journalists, during its yearly News Media Evaluation that critiques high school publications and offers feedback to help students improve their publications.

Commentary

By Robert Herrington You may have noticed a few small changes over the past two months. My goal as managing editor is to add more local stories and include a photo package each week. Basically, more names and faces of those who make this community so great.

So I’m happy to announce another change. Starting this week, the Current will include a weekly rotating column from officials “in the know.”

Once a month Common Council President Mark Boice, Mayor John Ditslear, State Rep. Kathy Richardson and a city of Noblesville department head will inform you about what’s going on – locally and at the statehouse – and how it affects you. The list of topics will vary week to week but could include services you didn’t know existed, thoughts behind potential ordinances, what lawmakers are doing an hour south, and how your tax dollars are being spent.

We are also looking for ways to make the newspaper more interactive with our readers.

I have received several nominations for the new Teacher of the Month program with Hare Chevrolet. It’s going to be awfully tough to select which deserving educator stands out from all the nominations, but I have a feeling that will be a reoccurring problem month to month.

In case you missed last week’s announcement, Current also has introduced a Halloween writing contest open to anyone who has a Noblesville mailing address. Winners will be selected

in the following categories: youth ages 13 and younger through Oct. 17; and anyone ages 13 and older on Oct. 17.

The rules of the contest are simple: have fun, don’t write longer than 450 words and make sure the writing is your own. E-mail your story in a Word or compatible document to robert@ youarecurrent.com no later than noon on Oct. 17. Be sure to include your name, address, phone number and birthday/age. Please include Halloween Writing Contest in the e-mail subject heading. Stories also may be mailed to Current Publishing, 30 S. Range Line Rd., Carmel 46032.

Since I began my new job here I was told that “news is what our readers say it is,” and I love receiving news tips – and especially love hearing feedback. It was an e-mail from Kelly Haemmerle that led to this week’s cover. If you have something you’d like to share, please e-mail me at robert@youarecurrent.com.

Lastly, I want to thank Michaela Watson, Guy Barger and the numerous people who have talked with me at assignments for their kind words about our publication, Marty Dobosz for his story suggestion, and Jerry and Becky Ravencraft for sharing their thoughts.

Robert Herrington is the managing editor of Current in Noblesville. You can reach him via e-mail at robert@ youarecurrent.com.

The list may be better unchecked COMMENTARY

By Terry Anker What was the best year of “Saturday Night Live?” Over its three-decade run, this late-night comedy television show has become a cultural touchstone with each ensuing group claiming memorable catchphrases and skits at the heart of a shared self-definition.

Such as the question of whether “The Tonight Show” belongs to Carson or Leno, these public figures have framed our shared community.

Ultimately these common memories are devices used to enhance communication with our peers. Recently, I made reference to a Dana Carvey moment on “SNL.” Carvey’s character, upon his death, found the gate to heaven with the angel of God. Similar to a fine hotel’s busboy, the angel outlined each of the amenities one could expect as a new resident of heaven.

“The buffet is open 24 hours. The pool is always warm and filled with beautiful girls. Moreover, in heaven we have omnipotence – the answer to

the unanswered questions of human life.”

Since that day years ago, I have maintained a list of questions to ask, should I be so lucky as to find myself similarly disposed. Was there a second shooter? Are ghosts real? Who stole my favorite shirt in college?

What is the most disturbing thing I’ve ever eaten without my knowledge? I wonder if it is better not to know. But then again, how could the afterlife be complete without knowing the secret ingredient of the seven herbs and spices? Do we all keep lists of things for which we seek answers? And if we do, do we really expect those questions to ever find resolution?

Or is our interest only a part of our natural curiosity as humans? Could it be the pursuit of responses is more important than the answers?

Could it be the pursuit of responses is more important than the answers?

Blurring the lines of nanny and mom COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson I finally appreciate why rich people have nannies and man-servants. My mom was in town during the weekend, and it was magical. We are currently in negotiations to retain her services as a full-time au pair, and it’s not going well.

She has visited us before, but this is the first time she has visited when my kids are in school, sports and theater. Plus Doo and I are going gray by the minute over work-related issues.

Technically, red heads do not “go gray,” but “white,” like Santa Claus and Queen Elizabeth I. Gingers may be mutants, but we’re royal mutants.

Mom arrived at the house on Friday before the school bus, which meant my children were not latch-key orphans for once. And when I called a bit later to check in, she asked what I needed from the grocery. No one has ever asked me that question. Confounded, I mumbled something like “List … frig … flarjkwee.”

After literally crashing my minivan into the side of the garage and walking in the door, the contents of my grocery list were miraculously sitting on the counter. I’m not kidding about the car, but that’ll be in my next article, titled “You Might Be Going Senile If ”

This nanny thing was turning out great. She bought us Chinese take-out and did 23 loads of laundry; she took the kids to an early morning soccer game so Doo and I could sleep. She made (fighting back tears, here) the (sniffle, gulp) beds (full-blown weeping).

I think the best part about having a Mama Poppins comes down to simple math. We had three adults instead of two managing four kids.

Doo spent the entirety of Saturday rebuilding something involving computers, which normally would have driven me straight to black widow mode; however, everything was cool because my mom was there to play dodgeball and jump-stick with the kids while I caught up on neglected domestic tasks. No Child Left Behind, see?

So I totally get why the wealthy hire nannies.

And now I want one too. Guilt wreaks havoc with the consciences of working parents, and nannies quiet the crazy. Now, if I can only convince Mom this is the life for her! Peace out.

COMMENTARY

By Mark Boice There are very few things with as polarizing opposite views as roundabouts. People tend to love them or strongly dislike them with few in the middle.

There are a number of drivers who don’t feel safe because they haven’t been educated on how to drive on roundabouts. They are nervous they will make mistakes, and don’t know when to yield or where to exit. Some visually-impaired drivers have difficulties seeing traffic on roundabouts, especially at night. Also, at a time when counties and municipalities are fighting for every dollar, there are complaints about the cost of roundabouts and the increased amount of land required to build them.

Although some dislike roundabouts, there are a large number of citizens who tell me how much they like them. Roundabouts handle four to five times the amount of traffic as a stoplight and many citizens say they have this experience.

Others tell me they like not having to make a complete stop at intersections. Many residents believe roundabouts are more visually appealing than a stoplight.

With so many different opinions, why are municipalities gravitating toward them? There are some statistics about roundabouts leading Noblesville to install them: Roundabouts are safer and reduce accident costs. Although the number of accidents is very similar with roundabouts and traditional intersections, injury accidents are reduced by 80 percent and the average cost per accident drops from $13,000 to $2,000. The roundabouts prevent costly right-angle crashes and require motorists to slow down.

They reduce emissions and fuel usage.

Roundabouts keep traffic moving smoothly and save approximately 24,000 gallons of fuel per year over traditional intersections. This is a savings of approximately 30 percent in emissions.

Roundabouts cost less than traditional intersections. Although initial construction costs are similar or slightly greater for roundabouts, signals cost significantly more when electricity, maintenance and service costs are considered.

We are going to be seeing more roundabouts.

Noblesville currently has 26 roundabouts with an additional four engineered for construction.

Hopefully our great city can find ways to help mitigate the objections and get those who dislike roundabouts to come around to them.

Ditslear: City positioned to compete with any community

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Finances, economic development and city services were all items Mayor John Ditslear highlighted during his annual State of the City address to the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce.

The city’s revenue was down $2.9 million last year and another $1.2 million this year, but as other cities and towns across the state and nation struggle, Noblesville has weathered the financial storm. Ditslear said cost-saving measures have included not replacing personnel unless absolutely necessary (the city has not filled 27 positions), renegotiating contracts whenever possible, and having employees help out other departments for special projects.

“Without question I wish we lived in a world where there was no recession. But to wish that and to stick our head in the sand and say that the recession hasn’t affected Noblesville would be negligent and misleading,” said Ditslear.

“Despite losing millions of dollars of revenue over the last few years, we have adjusted for that revenue reduction and have not had to cut back on city services, nor have we gone into the red.”

Good financial management was not only practiced by the city but several local businesses.

Ditslear said Industrial Dielectrics, TraTack Inc., SMC Corp. and Gordon Marketing all have

announced plans to expand and add employees. Employers like The Farmers Bank, Garden Ridge, Courtney’s Kitchen and Rochester Medical Implants have or will be opening their offices in Noblesville soon.

“Our biggest success so far this year in terms of size of corporate investment occurred a few months ago,” said Ditslear. “Positron will invest in a $55 million facility, which in turn, will not only bring jobs to Noblesville for that firm but will also attract complementary businesses that need to be in close proximity to such a facility.”

The city’s economic development department has rolled out many new initiatives to help all businesses – big or small – succeed in Noblesville. City Hall now houses the SCORE satellite office and offers an MBA program through the Anderson University Falls School of Business.

The Small Business Loan Guaranty program assists small business owners who are looking to secure a loan to start or expand a business but are not approved for the full loan amount. The Business and Development Process was debuted on the city’s website. This feature provides businesses with a checklist of what is required for various projects and includes link to required forms and documents.

“The goal is to make it as simple as possible to do business in Noblesville,” Ditslear said.

Hinkle Creek Friends Church celebrates 175 years of rich history, faith

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com The story of Hinkle Creek Friends Church, 21617 Hinkle Rd., Noblesville, is now in its 175th year, but the tale of the congregation begins all the way back in 1833.

Settlers began moving into the Deming community at that time and homesteaded much of the land in this area. Most who moved here – Quakers wishing to establish a Quaker Meeting (church) – were from North Carolina and Virginia. According to historical records at the Hamilton East Public Library Noblesville Branch, early pioneers had trouble settling on this land because of wolves, black panthers and Indians.

The pioneers identified a location on high ground with a fresh spring for drinking water and used the nearby Hinkles Creek, as it was named at the time, as a water source for their horses. In 1836, they started meeting in their makeshift homes until they could clear enough trees on this knoll – now the intersection of Hinkle Road and 216th Street – and used logs to build the first Meeting House, which was where the church stands today.

“We call Hinkle ‘a place where love grows,’” said Hinkle Creek Friend Kelly Haemmerle.

“When you step through the doors you can sense the history and there is a timeless quality.

You feel a part of something bigger than yourself. It is a special place and all who are part of her past, present or future are surely blessed.”

Charter member Joseph Sumner sold a tract to Hinkles Creek Meeting for $3.71 an acre.

They purchased 3.5 acres for the meeting house and the cemetery to the north, and it was deeded on June 9, 1841.

The very early records of Hinkle Creek Friends Meeting were stored in a safe at Westfield Friends Meeting, which oversaw the church as it became established. Local Indians living in the woods nearby blew open the safe thinking there was money in it and during this process destroyed all the records. Although all the early records were burned, history of the church was passed on from its pioneer members.

Bob Stubbs, Hinkle Creek Friends pastor, said the early Friends did not have paid ministers so much of the worship service was sitting in silence waiting upon the movement of the Holy Spirit to speak through the congregation.

“After sitting in silence and waiting for at least one hour, the timer would determine if all hearts were clear, then he would rise from his seat and shake hands with the Head of the Meeting – indicating that the service was over,” Stubbs explained.

In the early part of the 1840s, a new 26-by26 foot Meeting House was built; however, the building was destroyed by fire in January 1872.

The congregation then raised $1,500 to rebuild the church.

south wall of the Meeting House,” Stubbs said.

The congregation was forced to move out of the Meeting House on Sept. 5, 2010, and hold its services in the old Cicero Christian Church as repairs were being done – including a complete gutting so all of the old wood could be inspected and repairs made. The congregation moved back into the facility two weeks before Easter earlier this year.

“This old building is in wonderful shape and many hands of the local membership were instrumental in accomplishing this great task,” Stubbs said.

Despite the multiple changes and upgrades made throughout the years, Stubbs said the sanctuary is still the original one and the old hand hewn pews of solid oak are likely more than 100 years old.

“It was the Quakers who founded Hamilton County and this little church on the hill. It has stood its ground since 1836 and continues to be a beacon in the community. The fact that it is still a thriving place of worship after all these years is quite remarkable,” said Haemmerle. “It has been through the dedication and perseverance of its members that this little church has survived at all. Each generation has its own story to tell. The pioneers of this place were remarkably hard working, driven people. The church was the center of their lives and everything branched out from there.”

With a renewed sense of accomplishment and purpose the “little white church that could” is poised for another 175 years serving God, His people and its purpose – to give hope to the lost and shelter from the storms of life.

In addition to its own rich history, the church has been a staple in county history. The basement served as the meeting place for many Hamilton County Republican Party dinners in the past. Between the late 1830s and 1850s, families of Hinkle Creek Meeting were active in helping to hide and transport slaves in the Deming community as part of the Underground Railroad. Some of those slaves were moved north into the Roberts Settlement in northern Hamilton County.

The cemetery is one of the oldest in Hamilton County and is the final resting place for 22 Civil War soldiers; William Sumner, a veteran of the war of 1812; and several pioneer members of the church that date back more than 150 years.

“What could the wallpaper tell us? It’s so fascinating to me to think about the stories because Hinkle Creek Friends has spent so many years in the same spot and reached so many people in the community,” Stubbs said.

Stubbs’ parents joined Hinkle Creek Friends months after his birth and he has been a member for most of his life. While working as a manager at Indiana Bell in 1983, Stubbs heard God’s calling during a dream.

disownment Many people were held accountable to the Monthly Meeting for various reasons. For example: members could not marry out of the Quaker faith. If they chose to do that they were disowned. They were not allowed to play music within the walls of the Meeting House. According to early records, Thomas Lindley was disowned by the meeting for playing his violin. Other reasons for disownment according to the old records include: not being in regular attendance for worship service, gossiping about another person, growing tobacco and selling it, dancing, colorful dress, attending ball games, or speaking in a worldly manner during worship service without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

“You’re to walk away from everything and follow me. I’ll be your teacher,” While still trying to decide if he would follow his calling, Stubbs and his wife, Paulette, went out to visit a Meeting in Oklahoma. It was at that time he delivered his first sermon and began his new career behind the pulpit. Stubbs has served as Hinkle Creek’s pastor three times. When he arrived for the last time seven years ago the congregation had dropped to around a dozen weekly attendees.

“The last three years we’ve taken in 45 new members.

If everyone would come we’d probably have 90 people,” he said. “The church has just taken off and grown.”

Stubbs attributes part of the growth to the church never changing to a contemporary style worship service.

“New families tell me, ‘We want our kids to learn these old hymns,’” he said.

Meguschar joins Noblesville High School staff

Crowds marvel at ‘superhero’ floats

By Robert Herrrington robert@youarecurrent.com The comic book pages came alive with a Miller twist as Homecoming floats made their way through downtown Noblesville on Aug. 23.

“We chose superheroes because we thought there would be plenty of options for floats,” Jenna Elwert, a Noblesville High School Senior, said.

Each class had its own superherothemed float customized for the parade: Spiderman for the seniors, the “caped crusader” (Batman) belonged to the juniors,” the sophomores were green with envy as The Hulk, and the freshmen had Ironman.

Elwert previously participated on her class float two years ago as a sophomore.

“It’s fun to see all the little kids’ faces light up when they see the floats coming,” she said. “I think they’ll be excited to see Spiderman.”

The seniors, who won the float building competition, used the tips and techniques they had learned over the years to ensure they were the most creative and went out on top.

“We’ve learned from past experiences that we need to work hard early,” said senior Stephanie Schneider. “Make sure you hand-make everything,” Schneider said this year’s float was the

Junior float

Sophomore float easiest of all years because of the amount of students who wanted to lend a hand and be involved in the building process.

“People are very willing to help – it’s surprising,” she said. “It’s more exciting when your classmates come together.”

“You like to do a lot more things your senior year – helping out with float is one of them,” added senior Shane McNally.

“You want to be involved in as much as possible before you graduate.”

Vote now for your favorite video

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Reflecting on the best aspects of their hometown has inspired residents to share their creativity, and the city of Noblesville invites the community to review them and vote for your favorite as the I HEART Noblesville video contest is open for voting.

The city’s favorite five videos are posted online at www.destinationnoblesville. com/iheartnoblesville and voting will be open now through Friday morning. In a truly genuine fashion, you’ll see the city’s authenticity through the creative eyes of your neighbors.

“We are excited to share the videos with the community,” said Christy Langley, assistant economic development director. “It’s a testament to the people, places and experiences that make Noblesville a great place to live, work and play.”

The grand prize, first runner-up and second runner-up winners will all be announced Friday at the First Friday Movie Night in downtown Noblesville, Ninth and Logan streets. For a brief time prior to the announcement, paper votes will be accepted for those who may not have

placed a vote online.

The following community members submitted the five videos posted online: Cyndi Kirby, Donna Arrivo, Sara Sterley and Danya Pysh, who had two videos in the top five.

“We tried to get a mix of different perspectives for the top five – some were children based, some were artistic, but all showcased Noblesville – and that’s what we were looking for,” Langley said.

Langley said the video contest was the first of its kind for the economic development department. She said the marketing effort worked well because it didn’t cost the city a lot of money and used a lot of viral media; however, she thinks some people may have not completely gotten the message.

“Some commented that they were intimidated to make a movie because it wasn’t going to be ‘professional’. Our response was—that’s exactly what we want,” said Langley. “We wanted amateur and everyday Noblesville citizens just to express why they love Noblesville—no special effects or soundtracks. Therefore in total we did not get as many videos as we were expecting, which honestly surprised us.”

Main Street’s Fall Festival Friday

Executive Director Joe Arrowood said Friday’s event will include live music by local children, a caricature artist, pumpkin painting, children’s crafts, hot dogs and chips, kettle corn, ghost tours and hayrides from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Arrowood added patrons are welcome to come dressed in costumes to the event.

“We’re hopeful there will be several merchants who will do trick-or-treating too,” he said. “We’ll have a list and probably some bags.”

Following the conclusion of First Friday, guests are invited to stay downtown as the city of Noblesville and the Parks and Recreation Dept. will host the final installment of its movie series. The 1985 classic “The Goonies” will be shown on a giant inflatable screen at dusk. The screen will be setup on Ninth and Logan streets.

Written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus, “The Goonies” revolves around a group of kids who embark on a wild adventure after finding a pirate treasure map. The film is rated PG and runs 114 minutes.

Guests are invited to bring lawn chairs,

blankets and picnics to the movie. Arrowood said patrons should dress appropriately for the weather conditions.

“We don’t mind if the weather is a little nippy as long as it doesn’t rain,” he said.

Since the First Fridays began in May, Arrowood described this season as “very successful.”

“We combined a lot this year with First Fridays and Jazz on the Square. Most of our activities are getting over when Jazz starts,” he said. “It’s worked out great. We’ve had a little more going on at the square which has brought more people downtown.”

Only three First Friday events remain this year. Arrowood said November’s event is annual soup cook-off and the always jolly Christmas on the Square will be in December.

“The soup cook-off is really successful and we always have a lot of things taking place for Christmas on the Square,” he said.

Super Saturday teen Carmel’s Most Anticipated event at Boys & Girls Club Luxury Apartment Community

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville announces the launch of a community-wide event on Saturday. Spearheaded by the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Teen Center, 1448 Conner St., Super Saturday will hold numerous classes geared to teens 13 to 18 years old and parents taught by outside instructors.

Unit Director Abigail Stutesman said the purpose of the event is to utilize the Boys & Girls Club’s many resources to reach out to the community and meet the demands of its youth and parents. The main focus of this Super Saturday is safety and prevention.

“It’s a way to open our doors to the community and for our members to offer some classes outside of what we offer on a daily basis,” Stutesman said.

Members, non-members and parents will have the opportunity to register for an array of free classes at the Boys & Girls Club at 1448 Conner St. Classes consist of a self-defense awareness prevention class for girls ages 13 to 18 years old taught by Indy Fitness Camp, an Internet Safety class taught by a local Internet task force detective for teens and parents, a Safe Sitter class for teens 13 to 16 years old, and a

Now Open!

3-on-3 basketball tournament with members of the Noblesville Police Department taking on teams of teens 13 to 18 years old.

“People sign up and pay for what we are doing for free,” Stutesman said.

Stutesman said some classes require preregistration and interested members of the public should contact the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville to hear requirements and to register by calling 773-4372. As a special incentive to join in on the fun and education, Stutesman said all those who participate will receive a free Subway lunch – provided by the store on 10th Street in Noblesville – prizes, and an entry to win a Nintendo Wii gaming system.

The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Teen Center is open 2:45 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday for 13 to 18 year olds.

Fast Five Now – Oct. 9 Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre: Singin’ in the Rain 9301 N. Michigan Road, Carmel Details and ticket information available online at www.beefandboards.com.

PG-13, 130 minutes

Redline the action with ‘Fast Five’ DVDs

By Chris Lloyd The formula for “Fast Five,” the fifth installment in the street racing franchise, seems to be: 1. Put Vin Diesel back in the action, the actor was absent for the second and third movies.

2. Add Dwayne Johnson as a testosteronepumped federal agent on the gang’s trail, setting up a flying-fists showdown with Diesel.

3. Ratchet up the computer-generated imagery during the races, to the point cars pinwheel and slalom all over the street with barely a nod to the laws of physics.

The most surprising thing is this combination largely works, easily delivering the most entertaining movie in the series. Although at 130 minutes, it’s still way too long and the amount of juvenile and macho posing occasionally

reaches choking levels.

After being framed for the murder of some DEA agents, Vin and the crew (Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster) head down to Rio de Janeiro to hide out, and run into trouble with local crime lord Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida). They’re soon snooping out their next big score, assembling some familiar faces to help out.

There’s no denying “Fast Five” is an improvement over the previous four, and it’s nice to see a decade-old movie franchise discover another gear.

DISPATCHES » Couch potato workout – Leg-up couch crunches: Lie on your back on a couch with your knees bent, your feet up on one end, and your hands behind your head.

Pressing your lower back into the couch, slowly lift your head, shoulders, and upper back off the couch. Hold, then slowly lower. (If your couch is too soft, you may need to do this exercise on the floor.) Cardio finish: Do knee lifts. While standing, alternate bringing your right elbow down to meet your left knee, and vice versa.

The public can make online donations that will allow pink solar lights to be placed on IU Health North Hospital grounds in recognition of those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. Lights are $5 each and can be dedicated to honor, remember, or thank a friend or family member. Pink solar lights can be dedicated online at IWINfoundation.org. » Whiten teeth naturally? – If you want to avoid the pain and the cost of overthe-counter whiteners, you can try a few different at-home treatments. If you make a paste from lemon juice and salt, you can use this as whitening gel. This can be rubbed on the teeth to slowly wear down the dull color. To make your teeth shinier, you can rub your teeth with the inner white part of an orange peel. This gives discolored teeth a bright shine. This is good to use in combination with other home-whitening products.

-www.thebrightersmile.com » Do you have less energy? – If so, you may need some more vitamin B12. This nutrient helps regulate your metabolism and energy production and is key to maintaining a healthy brain and nervous system. Chewing a lot of antacids to relieve heartburn can also lead to B12 deficiency, because antacids interfere with B12 absorption. Food fix: Have two servings of nonfat dairy foods and 3 to 4 ounces of lean protein daily. Good sources of B12 include seafood such as fish, clams, oysters, and mussels, as well as lean beef and pork, chicken, and fortified cereal.

Tough Mudder challenges body, mind Commentary

By April Conard Having just honored the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I still feel helpless sometimes and it makes me want to do something. I know many of you feel the same way. Although we can’t go back 10 years and undo what happened, we can help what is happening now.

How about using your favorite pastime to help a worthy cause? Ever heard of something called Tough Mudder? Tough Mudder is not your average run. The 10-mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. The real honor comes from knowing you are raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project. Tough Mudder participants have raised more than $2 million for wounded soldiers. The funds will help support thousands of warriors from the battlefield to the bedside.

The Tough Mudder series was created to have an American fitness event to test toughness, stamina and mental grit all in one place and all in one day. This is also about experiencing a true sense of camaraderie rarely seen outside of the military. To get over some of the obstacles you will need the help of others – they are simply too much for one man to tackle alone. Tough Mudders are team players, they help each other out and make sure no man is left behind; they do not care about their finish time.

There will be a Tough Mudder run in Indiana Nov. 19. Not sure you are ready to crawl through the mud or scale walls? Well, Noblesville Athletic Club is willing to help with your training. One of our fitness instructors, Leah, is putting together a team to train for the race. If you would like to join the Crazy Crusaders team you can do so at www. toughmudder.com under registration.

To find out more information on the run or training, contact Leah at www.nacfitness.com.

Regardless of your political views, supporting our troops is something we should all do; considering what our soldiers do for us day in and day out. So get ready for the mud and when the run gets to hard, think of the challenges the injured soldiers are facing and then look at that wall and say, “bring it on!”

Five ways to spoil a meeting COMMENTARY

By David Cain Nothing blows the potential to have a great meeting like the following five things. Meetings, meetings, meetings, so much time, so much potential, so often wasted. Avoid these top five spoilers and enjoy better get-togethers with happier attendees.

Start late. “Hey, sorry I’m late, let me just grab some coffee and hit the restroom and I’ll be right there.” That’s nice, show up a few minutes late and then take your time getting started.

Everyone loves it when people impose their own life on you. If you want to start your meeting at 9:15, set it for 9:15.

Be unprepared. No forethought or advance preparation is the rain on your meeting day.

Whether you were invited to the meeting or originated it, you should always be prepared.

Nothing looks more amateur than showing up to a meeting with nothing but a pen and paper eager to learn. Be prepared and lead the way to better outcomes.

Interrupt. After all, everyone showed up to hear you talk. Just keep blurting out anything that runs through the scrolling LED in your head and you’ll look like a star. It’s expected to have ideas, but consider listening more than you talk.

Go freestyle. Agenda-free meetings with no real thought to what you want to accomplish

www.youarecurrent.com

are great spoilers. Just get in a room, start with small talk and see where it goes. Want to kickstart your effectiveness? Go into every meeting and start with a list of what the group will accomplish in that meeting and how much time you all agree to commit. Go around the room and ask, “What do you want to accomplish to make this meeting a great use of your time?”

Everyone agrees and everyone is working toward the same goals.

Run over. Well, you started late, why not run over on time too? It just makes good sense.

Want to be sure you run over? Invite too many people. And, use every bit of time allotted even if you finish early is just as annoying. It’s okay to get things done faster.

Business requires meetings. For that matter, all aspects of life require discussions of some sort, so why not work to make all that time more productive and effective? If you do, you’ll eventually eliminate meetings. If you are always prepared and know everyone’s goals for the encounter, you’ll find some of the meetings just go away.

There’s SNOW place

like Home.

While the rest of the Indianapolis area will be stuck inside and constrained by the various ice and snow storms coming this winter, we’ll be living it up at The Stratford!

At The Stratford we don’t have to go outside to get to our grand dining room for a delicious, hot meal. We don’t have to drive anywhere to pick out a good read from our library. No one has to hit the sidewalk to travel to the wellness center for some exercise (ours is just down the hall in the clubhouse). We don’t even have to clean up after our parties because the amazing staff here does it for us.

In short, while the rest of the area is digging out—we‘ll be living it up!

This could be you this winter, so call 317-733-9560 now and ask our Lifestyle Advisors about the benefits of living at The Stratford. By the first snow of this year—you’ll be glad you did!

Make-Up Shop new stop for beauty in Fishers

By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com Motorists driving along 116th Street in Fishers may have noticed a new storefront, nestled on South Street just off the main thoroughfare, proclaiming the Make-Up Shop is now open.

The shop is owned by make-up artist Brenda Sotolongo, who claims clients ranging from Peyton Manning to the President of the United States across a 30-year career in television and film. Sotolongo’s goal with the business, she said, is to take what she has learned professionally and teach it to her new clients – the women of Hamilton County.

“I find that women will come in with their buddies and have a million and one questions,” Sotolongo said. “The goal is to help the average, everyday woman to update their look, or to

learn new techniques.”

The Make-Up Shop will offer full-service skin care, including microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and waxing services, as well as three hairdressers and hair and eyelash extensions. The store also sells the full line of Pro Soto make-up, Sotolongo’s own brand.

“It offers people the chance to use a full line of high-quality make-up without having to break the bank to do it,” she said.

Gentlemen and interior decorating

DISPATCHES » Don’t fasten in the same spot – Because hair strands tend to get caught — and broken — in bands, it’s a good idea to alternate the fastening point of your ponytail. “Move it up a half inch one day, then down the next,” says celebrity stylist Richard Marin. Using seamless elastic bands, like Goody Ouchless Elastics, will further minimize damage.

COMMENTARY

By Vicky Earley I am always inspired by the gentlemen who walk through my studio door in search of a better living space.

These are not men who cross the threshold with great reluctance at the strong insistence of a wife or girlfriend. They are not coerced and they are not in search of the stereotypical man cave.

No, these gentlemen walk in on their own accord and bring with them a strong sense of self.

These men recognize their environment impacts how they feel about the space they live in, work from and the centerpiece for entertaining. They want their homes to reflect who they are, not who decorating magazines say they should be.

Wood is a customary foundation for a strong and masculine space. It’s not too difficult to imagine a rich library complete with coffered-wood walls, bookcases from floor to ceiling and mahogany furnishings. I think a faithful golden Lab just walked in my imaginary room.

Leather is the next element for a masculine space. No longer is leather relegated to sofas, chairs and ottomans. The market has seen a recent influx of leather wrapped chests embellished with nail heads for a stylish twist on masculine decorating.

The element of comfort is critical for a space speaking to the male species. A chair or sofa has to be deep enough to comfortably accommodate the longer upper legs of men. Delicate furnishings probably won’t be invited to a male-inspired room.

A traditional male space is the perfect showcase for rich paisley prints, stripes and plaids. Menswear designers such as Joseph Abboud and Ralph Lauren are well known for their detour from the path of attire to the world of interiors.

It goes without saying most men are not great fans of pastels.

The deeper end of the color spectrum is where they tend to land.

Charcoal gray, slate blues, merlot and chocolate brown are a few of my favorite decorating colors for men. Sherwin-Williams’ high tea is a perfect color example.

Relevant artwork goes a long way with male decorating. Works reflecting the occupant’s interests are outstanding choices. An avid sailor will revel in paintings of boats and shorelines. Sports fans will appreciate a touch of memorabilia, such as framed jerseys or autographed photos. Globes and maps will speak to the adventure in a man… and don’t forget about the golden Lab.

Skincare for Men

• Hair • Skin • Nails • Massage

It is just as important for men to take care of their skin as it is for women. In general, men do not typically spend as much time taking care of their skin as women, and when they do attempt to have a skincare regimen, it may not be the proper one for their skin type. Salon 01 estheticians are trained to help both men and women find the perfect skincare products and regimen. First they will diagnose your skin type, and whether you have oily, dry, sensitive or combination skin, they are trained to find the best combination of products to help maintain younger, healthier looking skin.

Bigger is Better Try these simple steps to help achieve the voluminous, bombshell hair that can now be found on magazine covers and all along the red carpet:

Enjoy! $5 off a haircut with our Men’s Specialist, Norma.

To begin, towel dry your hair and mist a leave-in conditioner (such as Biominoil Leave In Treatment) and a volumizer (try Brocato’s Volumizing Tonic). Then begin blow drying your roots while pulling them away from your scalp.

Offer go o d t hr o ugh O c t . 3 1, 20 11.

When your hair is completely dry, wrap 1-inch sections in Velcro rollers. Once your hair is set, blow dry with a diffuser for another 10 minutes on the hot setting, then 10 minutes on the cool setting.

Alternatively, you could use large hot rollers or a curling iron once your hair is completely dry.

Find Us on Facebook

After removing the rollers, combine a drop of shine serum (like Brocato’s Shine Drops) and a light hold gel (Salon 01 brand Flex Hold Gel) in the palms of your hands. Run your hands throughout your hair and move your voluminous locks into place.

For added boost, gently tease your roots around the crown of your head. Finish off the process with a blast of moveable hold hairspray to keep your ‘do in place.

Covered porch creates new outdoor living space COMMENTARY

By Larry Greene Original home: The seven-year-old home is located in the Centennial Subdivision in Westfield. The current homeowners have lived there for five years.

Motivation for creating a new outdoor living space: According to the homeowner, “I had a back porch as I was growing up. Plus, I have lost three tables and an umbrella in the last five years from the wind.”

Porch details: The new porch is supported with concrete piers which extend below the frost line. The new patio surface is brushed concrete with an arched step extending from the patio door and an area for grilling. The new porch finishes include painted cedar posts and wrapped beams. The porch is trimmed with cedar to match the new column trim. The beadboard porch ceiling is vaulted throughout to create a more open feeling. Finally, a new ceiling fan was installed from the center ridge beam.

Favorite features: The homeowner commented, “I work from home and it is so nice to go outside during the day and not bake from

Before the sun. Our family can actually talk and relax in the new porch now. We have used it a lot already and it’s only been a few weeks since completion.” According to the homeowners, “We are planning on having our neighbors over soon to show off our new porch. They have all been watching with envy as the project progressed.”

Connect with family by blogging Genealogy

By Darla Kinney Scoles Why you should create a blog was the topic of a recent post on “Genealogy top of the day.” I have toyed with the idea of creating a blog for several years, but I haven’t taken the plunge, or thought about creating a blog about my family genealogy.

Michael John Neill’s column was helpful and encouraging. I thought I’d pass it on in case readers might be sitting on the same blog fence I was on.

“Creating a blog is easy,” Neill said, “It may also help you break down brick walls and make connections with others who could help with your research. Creating short posts about various ancestors, mentioning names, dates, places and other details helps others to find your information.”

Since I have performed searches, I thought this blog might be another way to reach those who have information about my family I might miss out on with other options.

Be sure to document all information collected this way, and what a personal means of researching. One could gain valuable names, dates and other data, or connect with a fellow family member.

Several blog readers have commented, and said they heard from relatives who stumbled across posts containing common names. Many referred to older posts, and it’s not even about how often you keep up with a blog. It just needs to be out there.

Start with a search on “creating a blog” and soon you may be creating connections on your family tree as well.

That’s my plan, anyway.

I thought this blog might be another way to reach those who have information about my family I might miss out on with other options.
