Davis to play football for Team USA

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Dalton Davis can’t wait to get an up-close view of AT&T Stadium.

Davis, 14, will play for Team Achievement USA against Canada in the International Bowl on Jan. 30 at the Dallas Cowboys’ home in Arlington, Texas.

“That’s going to be awesome,” the Noblesville West Middle School eighth-grader said.

After competing in USA regional camp at Grand Park in Westfield in May, Davis was selected for the Development Games in July in Canton, Ohio. From there, he was picked for the USA Football Under 15 team.

“I want to work on defensive Davis line skills and get some exposure to let everyone see what I can do,” Davis said. “I’m looking forward to meeting some college coaches.

The feeling of beating another country would be great.”

At 14, Davis is already 6-1 and 225 pounds and will play defensive tackle for Team USA. Dalton’s family from moved from McCordsville to Noblesville before this school year. His father Robin Davis, a 1986 Noblesville High School graduate, said he wanted to give Dalton the opportunity to excel in the classroom and athletically.

“I thought it would be cool to wear that jersey,” Dalton said of playing for the same high school as his dad.

Robin, who competed in football, basketball, baseball and track at Noblesville, went to Ball State on a football scholarship but quit after one season.

“I was 6-5 and 220 pounds as a tight end,” he said.

“I wasn’t big enough. Dalton is already five pounds heavier than I was as a freshman in college.”

Dalton is projected to grow to 6-5 or 6-6, his father said.

Noblesville High School football coach Lance Scheib is quite familiar with Dalton, who has become a good friend of Scheib’s son Christopher, also a Noblesville West eighth-grader.

“The thing really impressive about Dalton is as talented the young man is on the field, he is a better person off the field,” Scheib said. “Academically he does things the right way. He works hard. He’s incredibly dedicated and I think it shows in how he

plays and it shows in everything he does. That’s why I’m excited about him and his future is so bright. He excels in every aspect of his life.”

Scheib said the experience will be special for Dalton.

“The competition is awesome,” Scheib said. “When you play against the competition, it can improve your technique and perspective on what is really out there as he starts his high school career (in the fall). The next thing I like is the overall experience of meeting kids from all over the country and representing the United States against Canada. Man, that’s a big deal.”

Dalton is eager to see how he stacks up against the competition.

“Our (Team Indiana) team is the best players around Indiana but it’s always good to see you’re not the very best player,” Dalton said. “It’s always good to play against someone who is better than you or equal to your skills. You can help each other improve.”

Dalton played defensive end on the Team Indiana team, which placed third in the Football University national championship last month at Naples, Fla. Dalton was also on the Team Indiana which finished third in 2013 in San Antonio.

Dalton is one of four Team Indiana players on the Team USA roster.

City says goodbye to Culp

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville said a bittersweet goodbye to public affairs manager Cara Culp on Jan. 16. After 12.5 years in the position, Culp government decided it was time to focus on her personal life as she and husband, Aaron, a lawyer in Noblesville, enter the next stage of their lives and adopt a child or children. The Culps are pursuing fostering to adopt and are now in the final stages of the certification process with the Indiana Dept. of Child Services to become foster parents.

“Most couples have almost nine months to prepare for the arrival of a child, but once DCS matches us, our case worker has told us it could be one day or even as little as one hour until the child/children come to our home,” Culp said, adding there were several necessary projects to be completed as soon as possible in order to make their home ready.

Culp said at some point, she wants to return to the workforce on a part time basis in the communications field but for now, the right path for her is to finish preparing for and then starting this next stage of her life.

“I am so truly grateful for many things – the opportunity to have served in this position for almost 13 years, the work we have done for the citizens of Noblesville, and most of all – the

County on solid ground, preparing for future issues

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County is financially solvent and prepared to address upcoming issues in 2015 and beyond, commissioner government Steve Dillinger said during his annual “State of the County” address to the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 21.

During his presentation, Dillinger spoke about 2014’s successes and which issues may face the county in the future. Through the ups and downs, Dillinger said we live in a county where the government cooperates.

“That doesn’t mean we all agree all the time, because we certainly do not,” he said. “We argue, we debate, we fight, but I can assure you, from our ventures throughout the state, we get along a lot better here in Hamilton County and accomplish much more than any other county I know.”

Highlights of Dillinger’s speech include: Budget – The county’s 2014 budget was $144 million but only $128 million was spent – putting the county $16 million under budget. Dillinger added that the county’s surplus and rainy day funds were $47,934,729.

Government and judicial center addition – Space at the Hamilton County Judicial Center is nonexistent and officials have decided to build an addition instead of find a new location to house county departments. Officials estimate it would cost $20 million to build three shell stories

and furnish the first floor. However, any government or school project costing more than $12 million requires a referendum and that route is not something the county wishes to take. County officials have approached state lawmakers to adjust the bill.

Public safety – The county updated its emergency response radio systems in 2014 to make every department in the county able to communicate with each other. Dillinger said it cost $9 million to build four new towers and purchase 3,000 radios for all county and municipal first responders.

Jail changes, expansion – As a result of legislative changes, beginning July 1 Indiana counties will be responsible for housing con-

victed inmates with Class D felonies instead of the Indiana Dept. of Corrections. Dillinger said the jail’s capacity is 300 inmates and its current population is 290 people. As a result of the bill, officials anticipate inmate numbers will grow 10 percent each month after July and is expected to double in the following year.

Officials said a shell was built on the third story of the Hamilton County Community Corrections so the county has 33,000-square-feet of open space available. It is estimated to cost $70 to $80 per square foot to build out that area into usable space.

Training facility – The commissioners and municipal officials are in consensus to build a county training center for public safety employees. Proposed plans for the 96 acres, owned by Westfield on River Road in Noblesville, include a multi-story burn tower, a 20-line weapons training and qualifications range, infrastructure for roads and a small building for classrooms, equipment and bathrooms. Officials estimate the project will cost $3 million.

Road projects – The county has approached INDOT about creating access to Keystone Parkway from 146th Street, which is expected to be built by 2019. The other major project is the continual widening of 146th Street to Boone County.

Dillinger said Spring Mill Road to Ditch Road will be completed this year; Ditch to Towne Road by 2018; Towne to Shelborne Road by 2021; and Shelborne to Boone County by 2021.

MEET WES WHISLER

After playing in the majors, 2001 Mr. Baseball and NHS grad Wes Whisler returns home to help young ball players

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Wes Whisler’s major league career might have spanned just two weeks, but the former Noblesville High School standout made cover story it and no one can ever take that away from him.

“I’m fortunate to live out a dream,” Whisler said.

“The numbers are few and far between on how many kids are going to be able to do that. Hopefully there are some that I work with that will get that chance.”

Whisler, 31, had started instructing kids as a side business to stay busy in the wintertime while in the minors.

“I wanted to be able to help kids and pass on the knowledge that I have with my experiences and what I’ve learned,” Whisler said.

Now it is his full-time pursuit. He runs Wes Whisler Baseball Academy at The Strike Zone in Fishers. Whisler had worked for The Strike Zone for nine years but took over running it in late fall and the name was re-branded. There are eight instructors (seven baseball, one softball), three retractable cages and two portable pitching mounds. Whisler lives in Noblesville with his wife and triplet daughters, who were born in October.

Whisler pitched in three games for the Chicago White Sox in 2009. The 6-foot-5 left-hander spent 10 seasons in the minor leagues, including several with Triple-A Charlotte, before retiring in 2013. He was traded to the Miami Marlins organization in June 2010 but then was re-signed as a free agent by the White Sox in March 2011.

Whisler, named Mr. Baseball as a Noblesville senior, played three seasons at UCLA. He played first base and pitched at both Noblesville and UCLA. As the Major League Baseball amateur draft approached during his junior season, Whisler said half the teams were set on him as a pitcher and the other half as a hitter. The White Sox took Whisler in the second round (53rd overall) in the 2004 draft.

Whisler started out as a first baseman in the minors but White Sox officials soon determined he would be more valuable as a hard-throwing lefthanded pitcher.

“It’s hard to have any regrets when you make it to the big leagues,” Whisler said. “I was a guy that still likes to be in the mix every single day. I loved playing every day. I loved swinging the bat. I wish I could have made it as a hitter. But I made it as a pitcher and I’m thankful for it as well.”

Whisler made his debut for the White Sox

In October, Wes Whisler and wife, Kara, expanded their family with triplets: Molly, Gwynn and Vivyan. “They already have me wrapped around their fingers — Daddy’s little girls,” Whisler said.

against Oakland on June 2, 2009.

“It was the shortest/longest run in from the bullpen,” Whisler said. “It was weird for me because I’d always been a starter before. My first big league strikeout was (six-time All-Star) Matt Holliday. I got him looking on a cutter inside.”

Whistler also struck out Bobby Crosby in that one scoreless inning against the Athletics. He pitched in two more games, recording one out and allowing two runs with no decision.

After that two-week stint, Whisler never got back to the majors. Yet Whisler had reached the pinnacle.

“That was my goal and dream as a little kid,” Whisler said.

Now his mission is helping others reach their full potential. Whisler works with all ages, trying to instruct them physically and mentally.

“The big thing is having them understand baseball is a marathon,” Whisler said. “The days that are good are easy, anyone can do it. Days that are bad are what I classified as money-maker days. What can you do to get through it? I’m trying to get them

to understand about being mentally tough and facing adversity. Right now, it’s a game. Have fun and play.”

In addition to his academy, Whisler serves as an assistant strength coach for Noblesville High School.

Dennis Kas, who was the Nobleville baseball coach when Whisler was there, isn’t surprised Whisler is instructing.

“The fact that he’s able to give back to the kids fits two of his passions (helping kids and baseball),” said Kas, who is now an instructor at Power Alley Baseball Academy in Noblesville. “I’m glad to see he’s involved because he has a lot to offer young people.”

Whisler started all four years for Kas at Noblesville.

“He was ahead of the curve as regard to his talent and skills,” Kas said. “He also was very mature with how he carried himself. I thought that was key for Wes and the success he had throughout his career in baseball.”

Whisler said his academy is the only one in the area that can be accessed 24/7, 365 days a year. The academy features camps and clinics.

Birthday: April 7, 1983 Personal: Whisler and wife, Kara, have triplets: Molly, Gwynn and Vivyan, born in October. “They already have me wrapped around their fingers — Daddy’s little girls.”

Favorite Noblesville restaurants: I’m not picky when it comes to food. I’m a big breakfast eater so I’d have to say the Sunrise Cafe. We used to go there before pre-game meals before basketball. I love that spot. I’ll eat anything from Matteo’s (Ristorante Italiano) and you can’t go wrong with a good old tenderloin from Syd’s (Fine Food & Spirits). That wasn’t on my diet when I was playing. I had to stay away from those.

Favorite music: Workouts are different when I’m in here training, I have a wide variety (playing) from county to alternative to hip-hop.

Favorite reading: Since I was kid, I like to keep up with Sports Illustrated. I’m always into sports and keep up with the news in the papers as well.

Favorite movie: I’m a huge movie guy. My favorite movie is “Top Gun.” When I was young, definitely not now being 6-5, but when I was young I wanted to be a fighter pilot. I love that movie.

Hobbies: I love to play golf. Here in Hamilton County, there are courses galore. I love the lake, too. I’m a huge water sports guy. Snow skiing as well, got back into that after baseball. I love the outdoors —hunting and fishing.

Meet your teacher, Susan Janke Susan Janke’s family moved to Noblesville in 2008, and she joined the White River staff that year. Before that, she taught first grade for six years in Aurora, Colo. Previously, she served eight years in the Air Force as a communications officer. Janke said she likes working for Noblesville Schools because the focus is always on student learning and developing students to reach their greatest potential. “Additionally, there is a wonderful sense of community spirit between the schools and the City of Noblesville.”

Grade/school: Second grade at White River Elementary.

Why did you become a teacher? When my own children started school, I volunteered often at their school. I loved working with the children and watching as they grew each year as readers and writers. That experience inspired me to become a teacher to have that same chance to make a difference in children’s lives. Teaching is a great profession.

What are your goals for students? My goal is that my students are confident and en-

gaged learners, challenging themselves to give their best daily. I want them to know and believe that they can be successful in whatever they Janke do. I also want my students to be able to work together, so that each student has the chance to be both a “teacher” and a “learner” with their fellow students. I especially hope for each child to develop the habits and curiosity of a life-long learner.

What advice would you give for parents?

Every child loves to read – they just might not know it yet. Help your child discover his reading interests and find ways to nurture those interests – the public library and your child’s school can be great resources.

What is something others might not know about you? Many years ago, I marched with my Air Force unit in President (Ronald) Reagan’s inauguration parade. As a history major in college, I was excited and grateful to be part of “history in the making.”

Dance mom vet

F R O M T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Perhaps the best salient point ever In case you were wondering who most of us are dealing with as the leader of the free world, consider this passage from the Wall Street Journal last week: “In the 1944 film ‘Gaslight,’ a con artist manipulates his new wife psychologically to make her doubt her own sanity in a scheme to steal her inheritance.

That’s increasingly the way to understand President (Barack) Obama ’s behavior toward Congress and especially the tax increase he floated in Tuesday’s State of the Union (Address). The only plausible rationale is that he thinks he can gain politically by driving Republicans nuts. Mr. Obama’s income-redistribution themes are familiar, though they are amusingly detached from the reality of the largest GOP majority in Congress since 1949.

••• Also, consider this: Obama in one corner, a potential two-thirds Senate majority opposed to his position on Iran in the other. This could be good (or bad) theatre. In his State of the Union Address last week, the president said he would veto sanctions on Iran, because they “will all but guarantee that diplomacy fails, alienating America from its allies, and ensuring that Iran starts up its nuclear program again.”

Twelve Democrats in the Senate previously co-sponsored legislation for sanctions. If that continues, the Senate would be so close to a majority that it would take one additional vote to seal it – if all 54 Republicans stand behind it. Keep in mind the president has vetoed only two bills in six years; neither was overridden.

••• Lest you believe Hillary Rodham Clinton doesn’t favor her connections in the banking world, she recently delivered a speech cohosted by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Yes, it’s the same bank that is being investigated by the United States for helping wealthy Americans stash money in the bank’s Caribbean accounts to avoid paying federal taxes. Some might call that unmitigated gall.

We’re among the “some.”

The gap of the gaps

Commentary by Terry Anker

The American founders knew it. Even the modern, liberal French know it. The distinction between a mob and a populist revolution is a narrow one. Contemporary French journalist and politician Jean-Francois Revel illustrates the point beautifully: “A human group transforms itself into a crowd when it suddenly responds to a suggestion rather than to reasoning, to an image rather than to an idea, to an affirmation rather than to proof, to the repetition of a phrase rather than to arguments, to prestige rather than to competence.”

Rich! Wealthy! Income disparity! Income divide!

If these words are meant to sting, does our leadership hope to foment classism? If so, is it warranted and rightly defined? Who are these “rich” people? President Barack Obama has chosen a combined annual household income of $250,000 to be the metric. He points to the very real gap from the median showing that those higher wage earners eclipse their fellow Americans by almost 6 times. Assuming that the math is cor-

rect, what is the context of this contrast?

A Gallup poll in 2013 of median incomes globally places the United States sixth highest at $43,585 with Burundi the lowest at $673. In other words, the median American family expects income 65 times of that in the comparison country. Moreover, this income number excludes the enormous infrastructure, safety-net, education and other advantages found in the U.S. The gap of the gaps is over 11 times.

Our own author, Mark Twain, said “Few things are more irritating than when someone who is wrong is also very effective in making his point.”

Even as our own misguided Robin Hoods attempt to equalize inequality, are we spending too much time looking at those whom we believe have more and not enough time caring for those whom we know have less?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK We ourselves feel what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

– Mother Teresa

I’ve been struggling for topics of late but was holding on to the notion that dance competition season would soon be starting and I’d have a plethora of tacky, delicious stories to relay. But alas, either I’m a seasoned veteran with the super-hero ability to ignore the highpitch antics of several hundred overly-rouged, be-sequenced ‘tweenagers’ and their obnoxious, also-sometimes-sparkling mothers, or, this past weekend was tame when compared to last year’s nearly-traumatic introduction to competitive dance.

My youngest started dancing just two years ago. Having myself never been a dancer or anything that required extensive parental involvement and “judging” to determine the winner, I nearly stroked out at her first competition last January. The make-up, the false hair and the myriad of shoes and tights and bandeaus all came as quite a shock, and that was just the moms! You should have seen their daughters! Not to mention the way scores are calculated and awards are bestowed ... a judge doesn’t like your costume so she deducts points? What kind of nonsense is that?

And the unfamiliar terminology had my head spinning. Lyrical, contemporary, grand line, production, minis, juniors, adagios … a whole new vocabulary world big-banged into existence as soon as I set foot in that often-terrifying convention space.

I saw choreographers yelling at high schoolers, mothers violently applying lipstick to toddlers, and dads stumbling around aimlessly no doubt wondering what they’d done to be cast down into such a low level of female hell. I temporarily lost hearing in one ear after repeated screeches of “Nail it, Kayla!” and almost went blind from over-exposure to under-clothed (but well-endowed) tappers. And I wasted hours upon hours of quality weekend time that could have otherwise been spent binge-watching Downton Abby, waiting for my daughter to perform her three-minute jazz number. When we finally made it home that Sunday, I was ready to pull her from the team and return to the frozen fields of youth soccer.

This year, at the same competition in the same hotel, with Maddie actually dancing twice the number of routines, I actually enjoyed myself. I knew to bring a good book, to retreat to my “quiet space” if I felt edgy, and to appreciate the weekend for what it was- a chance for my girl to do what she loves most.

I guess I’ve simply mellowed out. Was there dressing-room drama? Absolutely! Did I have a slight ringing in my ears after the third awards ceremony of the day? Indeed I did. But I came away surprisingly rested and of course, feeling extremely proud of my daughter.

Five lives intersect at Belfry’s latest show, ‘Bus Stop’

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. A nightclub chanteuse is being pursued and kidnapped Theater by a 21-year-old cowboy with romantic intents; the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance.

“It’s a little touch of what life used to be in 1955,” said Connie Murello-Todd, director of “Bus Stop.” “Some of the things they talk about still ring true and some things … life was so much simpler then.”

For its 50th season, The Belfry Theatre is reproducing shows from its history. “Bus Stop” was originally produced for the 19831984 season and directed by Jim Bray. This year’s show runs Jan. 30 through Feb. 15.

“This was the one that stood out for me,” Murello-Todd said.

“Marilyn Monroe starred in the movie and I just thought it was cute. I just enjoyed it when I read it.”

Staying true to its timeframe has caused the cast some issues with props.

“They didn’t know you had to use opposing thumbs to unlatch the suitcase. They’d never seen a rotary dial telephone and didn’t know how to use the coffee maker,” Murello-Todd said. “It’s been fun to bring them into the ’50s. The first time Rose (Franzen) couldn’t get into the refrigerator because it latched was a hoot.”

The cast includes a group of veteran actors like John Whitaker and Ryan Shelton and newcomers to the Belfry stage like Addison D. Ahrendts, Rose Franzen and James Maratea.

“It has been one of the easiest shows I’ve directed,” MurelloTodd said. “It’s a very professional group and we’ve been able to dive into character development, nuances and gestures which we normally don’t have time to do.”

Returning to the Belfry stage after a long hiatus is Jeff Maess, who last appeared in “Light up the Sky.” “That was about 30 years ago,” Maess said, adding he has acted

in five other shows at different theaters since that time. “I’ve been interested in coming back. I saw their schedule and was interested in this show and next one, ‘Noises Off.’” Maess said the script for “Bus Stop” is one reason he auditioned and enjoys the show.

“The thing that stands out for me is how well written it is,” he said. “I’ve been in different shows and learning lines, a well written show makes it that much easier.”

For his role as Virgil Blessing, Maess had to learn how to play the guitar.

“All the other guys in the case can play the guitar except for me,” he said. “They’ve been helpful.”

bus stop Where: Belfry Theatre, 10690 Greenfield Ave. Noblesville When: 8 p.m. Jan. 30 and 31 and Feb. 6, 7, 13 and 14; and 2 p.m. Feb. 8 and 15.

Cast: John Whitaker (Bo), Addison D. Ahrendts (Cherie), Jeff Maess (Virgil Blessing), Rose Franzen (Elma Duckworth), James Maratea (Carl), David Korff (Sheriff Will), Ryan Shelton (Gerald Lyman) and Jennifer Mauldin (Grace). The show’s hosts are Tara Douglas and Hank Kratky. The show is directed by Connie Murello-Todd with assistance from Evan Elliott.

Cost: $15 for adults, $12 for 12 and younger.

Success ‘surreal’ for Thompson Square

Since being signed to Stoney Creek Records in 2010, Thompson Square has released two albums which have produced eight singles music on the country charts and two No. 1 hits: “Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not” and “If I Didn’t Have You.” “It’s been busy, it’s been a whirlwind,” said Keifer Thompson. “I’ve never had a dream come true before so it’s weird being able to live that.”

The husband and wife duo of Shawna and Keifer Thompson also have two Grammy nominations and have won seven country music association awards. The next stop for the rising musicians is Jan. 30 at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino, 4500 Dan Patch Circle, Anderson.

“The energy and style of show (Bruce) Springsteen puts out, that’s what we try to emulate,” Keifer said. “It’s the attention to not playing the scene, it’s very raw and about the songs, about singing and the audience and making people disappear for awhile.”

Keifer said guests should enter without a preconceived notion of what a Thompson Square concert is like.

“It’s loud. We have a lot of fun with a lot of different stuff,” he said. “We have fun and laugh on stage and that translates to the crowd and we’ve seen the response and the reaction from the crowd is absolutely intoxicating.”

Keifer said always having his wife and best

“I go out and do stuff with the guys sometimes but for the most part I kind of like the arrangement,” he said. “It actually works for us.

We’re partners in life and in music. It’s a great mix.” Keifer said.

What To Expect: Parenting Coordination A recent, positive trend in Indiana family law cases, as well as several other states, has been the appointment of a parenting coordinator in high conflict situations. Typically a mental health professional or a lawyer, a parenting coordinator or “PC” is an individual appointed by order of court and charged with managing on-going issues between parents (and others) in cases with constant and substantial disputes involving child custody and parenting time issues. Either party may petition the Court to appoint a parenting coordinator or if the concur that their situation would benefit from the involvement of the PC, the parties can submit an agreement to appoint one, including selecting the PC. What is a PC’s role? The Order of the Court will have considerable detail as to the extent and limitations of the duties of the PC. Depending on the level appointed, the PC may have the ability to act as a communication facilitator, an ongoing mediator and even, essentially, an arbitrator. As a general rule, the PC cannot modify the court order. For example, the coordinator may recommend a different weekly parenting time schedule, however, does not have the authority to modify the amount of time each parent has with the child(ren). All recommendations of the PC require approval of the Court to go into effect and each party has the opportunity to contest these before the judge, if desired. As the goal is to help the parties effectively co-parent and address issues which may arise from time to time, the parenting coordinator typically meets with both parties regularly, receives day-to-day questions and complaints about any aspect of a party's conduct, gather information from outside sources (schools, doctors, counselors, etc.) and works with the parties, first looking for a consensus or at least a basic agreement. If this is not successful, the PC may choose to inform the parties of what the PC

believes is in the best interests of the children in the hopes of pushing the parties to an agreement. Last, the PC may submit their recommendations to the Court if no agreement is possible.

In Indiana, there are several levels of authority in Indiana for PCs. A Level III Parenting Coordinator is the most frequent choice, holding a high level of authority and may make binding recommendations to the parties on the issues presented for consideration. A binding recommendation may only later be set aside by a Court Order after one party formally objects to the recommendations by filing an objection with the Court. Further, parties should be mindful that the parenting coordinator can later testify in court about the non-compliance or other issues which may arise during the sessions.

How much will this cost? Parenting Coordinators are most often attorneys and charge parents for the time involved in addressing the issues presented. The typical Court order will have the parents sharing the costs such that they are both “invested” in the process. As part of their authority, however, the PC may have the ability to reapportion costs if one party’s lack of cooperation is clearly a primary issue and the source of a disproportionate amount of the costs.

As guests enjoyed complimentary admission into Conner Prairie on Jan. 19, three local artists commissioned by Nickel Plate Arts spent the holiday creating artwork focusing on art the theme of peaceful protest and Martin Luther King Jr. Artists Derrick Burnett of Fishers and Wend Boomhower and Kandi Jamieson of Noblesville created pieces about MLK and answered questions about their artwork and the historic figure.

“It’s a way for us to remember what Dr. Martin Luther King did in his lifetime, what he stood for and his impact not just as an American but the lives he impacted working to grow rights all over the world,” Burnett said. “There were so many places where people were trying to establish themselves.”

Burnett picked the topic of non-violent protest for his painting.

“I picked the Freedom Riders to put focus back into the light,” he said. “They gave their lives for a cause without knowing it.”

Boomhower’s piece included multiethnic people coming together with a banner stating, “We Shall Overcome.”

“I’ve always wanted to do this. This is a good cause and raises awareness,” she said. “It’s a wonderful topic to teach children.”

Boomhower said several families came by and watched her paint at the end of a hallway lined with MLK displays.

“Some were shy but I allowed one little girl to paint,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed listening to parents educate their children. It’s been interesting to hear their talks.”

Jamieson painted four different portraits of MLK, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and a young boy at a protest and created mixed media pieces from the paintings.

“I sliced and started weaving them together.

There are three different people in each portrait,” she said. “There are several different ways to interpret it – symbols of summing up awareness, symbols of death, rebirth or making something more out of their resemblance to talk about unity and freedom.”

Inventory smaller, prices higher Commentary by Jim Litten Nearly 1,500 homes pended in December, with all but three Central Indiana counties reporting increased sales compared real estate to the same time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company. Overall, December 2014 pended home sales rose to 1,497 over December 2013, an increase of 43 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks.

In Hamilton County, pended sales decreased while the sale price increased: • Last month, pended sales in Hamilton County dipped 13.3 percent to 260 homes compared to 300 homes in December 2013.

• Sale prices in Hamilton County continue to trend up. In December 2014, the average sale price rose to $267,559, which is an increase of 5 percent compared to December 2013.

• In Noblesville, 53 homes pended last month,

which is six fewer homes than December 2013.

• Inventory in Noblesville is relatively stable.

Last month, 306 homes were available for sale – an increase of 13 homes compared to December 2013.

• Homes in Noblesville are selling at a stable pace. In December 2014, homes were available for sale for 73 days – one day less than the same time last year.

Overall across Central Indiana, listing inventory continues to fall while home sale prices inch up – positive indications that stabilization continues across our region. We expect this positive movement to continue into the first half of 2015.

Current in Noblesville

In the business of beauty

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com Mississippi-native Anna Skinner-Wilson moved to the Indianapolis area five years ago to take a job as a pediatric and neonatal aesthetics intensive care nurse at Riley Hospital for Children. After a stint as a labor and delivery nurse at Community East hospital, she decided to make a career change.

“I enjoyed my job and still miss it, but I got burnt out. There’s just so much you can see over the years with children. And with all the changes in healthcare, I felt done,” said Skinner-Wilson.

She came up with an idea: a welcoming spalike atmosphere where clients could come to relax and receive aesthetic treatments. Beauvoir Aesthetics, which opened Dec. 16, begins with teeth whitening.

“The service usually costs $400 to $600 at a dentist’s office, but we use a self-application system with the same LED light, which reduces the cost,” she said.

The two teeth whitening rooms are designed to promote relaxation. Clients can listen to relaxing music and use aromatherapy products while they get their teeth whitened.

Across the hall in another private room, clients can try a body sculpting treatment.

“We have The Firm system, which uses electrotherapy. Clients pick out the areas that they want to target, and the electrodes stimulate the muscles,” Skinner-Wilson said, adding one ses-

sion results in the feeling of a good work out.

Clients also can experience a warming personal sauna treatment.

“It’s like a sleeping bag; everything is covered except for the head,” said Skinner-Wilson. “We come in to put a cool cloth on your head and provide sips of lemon water while you relax and have your treatment.”

The lounge area is meant to be a place for patrons to relax.

“I wanted to create a place where people can take care of themselves in a relaxed environment,” Skinner-Wilson said.

Beauvoir Aesthetics, 9247 E. 141st St., Fishers, is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call 214-7829 or visit www.bafishers.com.

Smell a grapefruit – Breathing in certain aromas can help reduce stress.

In a study at James Cancer Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, researchers tested the effect of pleasant-smelling essential oils by diffusing them in the central nurses station. Oncology nurses, who frequently suffer from workrelated stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout, reported significant improvements in tension, worry, and demands over the course of the study.

One of the essential oils tested was grapefruit, which is refreshing and revitalizing, and helped boost the body’s feelings of energy and happiness.

Dealing with the Oxford comma Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Hey Jordan. My 10-year-old daughter, my wife and I are in quite a conundrum.

When listing nouns in a grammar guy sentence, is a comma used before the conjunction ‘and’ or ‘or?’ My daughter thinks it is, my wife thinks it is not and I think it’s acceptable with or without a comma. So, who is correct, my daughter, my wife or yours truly?” – (James Swick) Answer: The serial, or Oxford, comma is a hotly debated subject in the grammar world.

Let’s talk briefly about who uses it, and why.

If you’re a serial comma fan, you’re in good company. The bulk of style guides call for using the serial comma (APA, MLA and “The Chicago Manual of Style,” to name a few). The serial comma is also the standard used in the U.S. Government Printing Office, so it gets Uncle Sam’s seal of approval as well.

People who don’t use it: The Associated Press, the Canadian Press and the Brits (although it is mandated by the Oxford University Press, where it gets its name).

The major point upon which arguments for and against the Oxford Comma stand is the creation or resolution of ambiguity. Consider the

following sentences: 1. “My uncle, JFK, and a group of senators toured the base.”

2. “I saw the movie with two kids from school, Tom and Jerry.”

In the first sentence, the serial comma creates ambiguity. Is JFK an appositive naming the speaker’s uncle or merely the second person in a list? In the second sentence, including the comma would resolve the ambiguity of whether Tom and Jerry are the two kids from school or two other people who went to the movies.

The argument over the serial comma is endless and tiresome, so here is my maxim: I follow the appropriate style guide for the writing at hand (as a journalist, this means I use AP Style).

If no style guide is more appropriate than another, I choose whichever construction leaves the least ambiguity. After all, if your readers don’t understand your writing, then it doesn’t matter how “technically correct” the serial comma is – you’ve failed to effectively communicate.

dispatches Homemade fly repellent – Flies are repelled by the herb thyme so make your own fly repellent.

1. Brew a teaspoon of dried thyme in an eight-ounce cup of just-boiled water for five minutes.

2. When it cools, fill a spray bottle and spray the window frames, countertops...wherever and whenever the flies tend to congregate.

It is safe and nonchemical. You can use it every day, if need be; it’s free of chemicals and harsh smells. But flies hate it and will think twice before sneaking inside your home!

Using a lemon rind – Did you squeeze the juice out of a lemon and now you have the leftover rind? It would be a shame to just throw it out. Here’s what to do with it: 1. Clean with your lemon! You can use it to clean dishes, grimy pans, bathroom tile. Be sure the surface is nonreactive (don’t use it on cast iron, nonlaminated marble or limestone.)

2. For tougher messes, sprinkle some baking soda on the surface before scrubbing with the lemon.

3. After your cleanup, cut your lemon rind up and toss a small bit at a time in your sink disposal.

When you run your disposal, your sink drain will smell fresh and clean.

Pancha Rathas: Honoring a poem Commentary by Don Knebel Monumental shrines carved in solid rock in southeast India pay homage to a poem that influences the lives of hundreds of Travel millions of people every day. The shrines themselves, although never completed, have also had a lasting influence on the appearance of India.

Near the small town of Mamallapuram, about 40 miles south of Chennai along the Bay of Bengal, seventh century artisans sculpted five enormous shrines from a single outcropping of granite. The tallest of the intricately-carved shrines rises more than 35 feet from the sand and all include chambers for sheltering the images of one or more Hindu gods and goddesses.

Inside one shrine, an adoring follower of Durga is famously shown cutting off her own head as a sacrifice to her goddess. In another, a statue merges the separate gods Shiva and Vishnu into a single, ecumenical image. Two lions and an elephant, carved from the same outcropping, stand guard.

The shrines are known collectively as “Pancha Rathas” (Five Chariots) because they reportedly suggest the wooden chariots used in ancient temple processions. Although originally intended to become temples, the shrines were never completed and therefore never consecrated. Long ago the residents of Mamallapuram decided to name the shrines in honor of the heroes of

the Mahabharata, an epic poem completed in the fourth century A.D. that includes 1.8 million words and 200,000 verses, making it about eight times longer than the Iliad and the Odyssey combined. Included within the complex poem is the 700-verse Bhagavad Gita, a synthesis of moral and religious principles that is as important to Hindus as the Bible is to Christians. The Mahabharata recounts the story of five brothers of the Pandava family who battled their cousins for control of a legendary kingdom in northern India. Four of the Pancha Rathas are named for the Pandava brothers, two of whom were twins,

and one is named for Draupadi, the wife they all shared.

The distinctive styles of the Pancha Rathas became models for later Hindu temples constructed throughout the Indian subcontinent. As a result, the shrines are now part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. It’s an engaging novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying, “Finally, a horror story void of vampires, werewolves, or zombies!”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Available in paperback at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.
