Council approves 500-home project

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Boomerang to take advantage of the city’s new open space policy. Noblesville is allowing developers to pay a fee to reduce open space requirements in residential areas near public parks. According to the policy, the city must use the funds to begin building the park.

Thompson said Boomerang will reclaim 11.37 acres, which reduces the development open space from 28 percent to just over 23 percent. He said that payment and other park impact fees for the project will total approximately $1 million.

The development will have no impact on Noblesville Schools as the Wayne Township property falls in the Hamilton Southeastern Schools district.

Klipsch Music Center is about to get new neighbors. The Noblesville Common Council approved plans from Fishers-based Boomerang Development LLC to build Noble East, a $150 million community off Boden Road.

Developer Corby Thompson said the development will include 497 lots in three neighborhoods north of 156th Street. It will be built in phases over the next eight years, Thompson estimated.

“Sixty homes a year is a success,” he said.

Most of the houses are expected to sell for $275,000 to $350,000 and homes along Lehr Creek are estimated to be $425,000 to $450,000. Ryland Homes and Pulte Homes will be builders on the property. Thompson said the development will raise the assessed value to $500,000 per acre for the 260acre project.

Noble East is adjacent to 200 acres of city-owned land slated to become Eastside Park, which allows Other Items of business What happened: Resolution for tax phase-in

What it means: LeMaster Steel Erectors received a two-year tax phasein on the increase in assessed valuation resulting from the construction of a new 10,625 square foot at 17540 Kraft Ct. The company has outgrown its current space in the Stony Creek Business Park and has had a Noblesville branch for the past 30 years.

What’s next? LeMasters’ capital investment is approximately $830,000.

The business retention will keep 48 employees in Noblesville with five new hirings expected by 2017.

What happened: Amending the salary ordinance What it means: Noblesville police K9 officers are paid one hour a day or 365 hours a year to care for their dogs, which live with the officers. In an effort to be more efficient, Deputy Mayor Mike Hendricks said the city will create a stipend for the extra care instead of manually inputting the time each pay period.

What’s next? The police department has three K9 units. Hendricks said the pay will be $10,500 a year, the average cost of the three officers.

What happened: Reimbursement of design and construction costs What it means:The city has entered into an agreement to purchase 50 acres of land in the northern part of the Stony Creek-Presley Drive development. City Attorney Mike Howard said plans are to construct road, sanitary sewer and drainage improvements. The total cost of the project is $5 million and the city will pay $1.5 million prior to June 1.

What’s next? Howard said the city can use TIF funds instead of issuing a bond and reimburse itself down the road.

What happened: Public comment from the Noblesville School Board

A new variation of this scam has popped up in Hamilton County with thieves now calling and threatening arrest because victims did not appear for jury duty.

Unleash the inner mystery writer news@currentnoblesville.com

The Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission and The Polk Street Review have created the inaugural Armchair Detective Story diversion Contest. The grand prize winner will receive $1,000.

The Polk Street Review co-founder Bill Kenley said the rules of the competition include: 1. The story must be an armchair detective story. This simply means your detective must solve the crime you create from a single location. Your detective may have an assistant who investigates or he/she may compile clues in some other way. An example might be a detective who meets with friends in a coffee shop and solves the crime by reading the paper or simply gossiping with others. Another example might be a detective who sits alone with her cat in a tiny house and uses her prodigious internet skills.

2. The story must be set in Noblesville. It may take place in a different time period. Writers are not required to be Noblesville residents.

3. The story must incorporate four required elements. An example of a required element might be “You must incorporate footprints as a clue.” These will be released every week in the month of February. Current in Noblesville will publish each week’s required element. Requirements are also available at www.currentnoblesville.com, www.polkstreetreview.org and The Polk Street Review and Noblesville Cultural Arts

First required element The Polk Street Grasshopper says the first requirement in the NCAC Armchair Detective Contest pays homage to the first armchair detective story. That story was by a Balimorian you may have heard of – Edgar Allan Poe. It was called The Mystery of Marie Roget and came out in 1842. In that story Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin used newspaper accounts to solve the mystery of a young woman’s disappearance. In honor of Mr. Poe and the fictional Miss Roget, the victim of your story’s crime must be female.

(Notice – The Grasshopper doesn’t say what crime this female is the victim of or even that the female victim must be human.)

Commission’s Facebook pages.

4. The story must be less than 5,000 words.

5. A hard copy of the story and an entrance fee of $20 to the Noblesville Cultural Arts Commision must be turned in by March 8. The story and fee may be sent in to The Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission, P.O. Box 291, Noblesville, 46060 or turned in in person at Nickel Plate Arts on March 8.

An awards ceremony will be held on April 19.

Honorable Mention stories will be published in next year’s edition of The Polk Street Review. For more information, contact Kenley at billkenley@ yahoo.com.

Merger means expanding services

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Shepherd Insurance has recently acquired Fisher & Associates Insurance Agency of Noblesville. The team will now be operating as Shepherd Insurance from their business existing office at 1212 Westfield Rd. The merger became official on Dec. 30.

This latest merger further strengthens the position that Shepherd Insurance holds as one of the state’s largest privately owned independent insurance agencies. The Noblesville office will become the company’s sixth location and the second in Hamilton County. Quinn Shepherd, partner at Shepherd Insurance, said the company has 12 employees that live in Noblesville.

“We feel like we’ve been up here for a long time,” he said. “We’re staying local, doing business local. There is a sophisticated group of people in Noblesville. They know good service models.”

Deirdre Fisher has 28 years of experience in the insurance industry.

“I was looking for a support system to move forward and continue to grow in the insurance industry,” she said. “I’m looking out for my clients.”

Fisher said she spent six months looking for better products, services and support services to grow her agency.

“We felt a good connect with Shepherd and the people at Shepherd,” she said. “Even though they are large, they are very similar to our setting – family, team feel. I was most comfortable with them.”

“Every acquisition has been part of our business model. A lot of agencies had our culture and wanted to grow and develop for customer base – owners always had customers in mind,” Shepherd said.

Shepherd said Fisher’s customers should see “zero disruption” as the merger process moves forward. Plans call for a growth in staff at the Noblesville office and the merger will remove the burden of administration and payroll.

“It gives them more time to concentrate on customers,” Shepherd said.

“Our customers are going to benefit from

Shepherd Insurance is a family-owned business founded by Dave Shepherd in 1977 and headquartered in Carmel. Shepherd specializes in personal and commercial insurance, employee benefits and financial products.

“We started out of a garage,” Shepherd said.

Shepherd Insurance is one of the state’s largest privately owned independent insurance agencies, with locations in Columbus, Greenfield, Evansville, Noblesville and Seymour. Shepherd said the next acquisition will be in Fort Wayne.

“We’re 80 percent done with the deal,” he said.

“We’re actively looking for agencies.”

Know Your Risks: The First Step to a Healthy Heart

With February designated as American Heart Month, it’s the perfect time to give your heart the attention it deserves.

That’s particularly Edward Fry, M.D. true since the public, especially compared to conditions like cancer, often overlooks the dangers presented by heart disease. In fact, heart disease is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined.

Like cancer, heart disease is a term that covers a variety of different conditions.

Most people connect it with coronary artery disease, but it also encompasses problems ranging from congestive heart failure to atrial fibrillation (cardiac arrhythmia). With an aging population, the incidence of heart disease is increasing as well. When you include conditions such as hypertension, you have an environment where approximately one out of every three people is affected by some form of heart disease.

At St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, we provide outstanding access to cardiovascular services, whether that entails primary care, consultations with specialists, or the latest diagnostic technologies, such as echocardiography, stress testing, nuclear imaging and CT scanning. Our affi liation with St.Vincent Heart Center of Indiana means patients always receive top care from highly skilled cardiologists.

The level of technology available in cardiovascular medicine is truly amazing.

But the latest in high-tech shouldn’t distract from the fact that the essentials of heart health still start with the basics of knowing your risks and learning how to manage them.

The first step is always to have an assessment with your primary care physician in terms of the various risk factors for heart disease. This includes family history, weight, cholesterol, conditions such as obesity or diabetes, and other factors. Then, based on your risk profile, your primary care provider may recommend lifestyle changes or medication to reduce those risks, testing to further identify those risks, such as certain imaging tests (coronary calcium scoring, stress testing, etc.), or referral to a cardiologist for further evaluation.

St.Vincent Health is a proud supporter of American Heart Month and the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign, now in its tenth successful year.

A good way to celebrate American Heart Month is to talk to your primary care physician about your possible risk factors for heart disease. When you know your risks, you’ll know the next steps you can take to keep your heart happy and healthy for years to come.

Talk to your physician to find out if a HeartScan is right for you. To schedule a HeartScan at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, just call 866-432-4457. And learn more at BestHeartCare.com.

“Trust your heart to Indiana’s best heart program.”

Dr. Christopher Hollon Cardiologist

Excellent heart care can change and save lives. Our highly-skilled cardiologists are dedicated to providing convenient cardiovascular services to our community. And by being a part of St.Vincent Heart Center of Indiana means our patients always receive the Best Heart Care in Indiana. Period.

Brad Dahlager opens new healthcare practice in Dr. James Dillon’s former office

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Brad Dahlager has been in Noblesville only since October, but the new business owner and healthcare provider feels deeply connected cover story with the community. In addition to creating a chiropractic practice, Dahlager and wife, Nathalie, are “carrying the torch” of preserving the historic home of the late Dr. James A. Dillon at 953 Maple Ave. “I felt I had his ghost looking over my shoulder making sure I was doing things right,” Dahlager said.

Dillon, who died in 1989, was a longtime physician in Noblesville and served on the Noblesville Parks and Recreation Board for almost 40 years. When the town needed a doctor, Dillon came from Iowa with $5 in his pocket.

“He served the community faithfully for 50 years and had a major impact on healthcare,” Dahlager said.

“We want to continue that kind of service he provided Noblesville.”

After being a chiropractor for 23 years and owning a private practice in Chicago, Dahlager said he thought it made sense to scale things down. He decided to open up a new practice in a city where the pace was a little slower.

“It was doing very, very well. It was almost too much to see the volume of patients,” he said.

Dahlager sold his practice and put his family’s home on the market; it ended up selling in a weekend.

“We didn’t have a practice or a home. We didn’t know where we would go,” he said, adding that his ideal location was a place like Mayberry. “When you look at Noblesville, you see it is a lot like Mayberry – lot of character, high ethics and morals. It’s a really good community.”

Before Noblesville Family Chiropractic settled in downtown Noblesville, the Dahlagers looked at places in Fishers, Carmel and other Indianapolis-area cities. Close

The practice Many people see a chiropractor for chronic pain, so the chiropractor can find the cause of the problem.

Noblesville Family Chiropractic’s Brad Dahlager said chiropractors treat the cause of the problem instead of just providing a temporary fix and search for what patients can change in their lifestyle to Brad Dahlager help create overall health and wellness.

Dahlager decided to pursue a chiropractic career when he realized that he loved to help people.

“I still remember the moment when I decided to become a chiropractor. I was young and successful and making a great living as manager of a printing company, but I felt that my life had little purpose or meaning. I simply wasn’t giving back,” he said. “One day I was grocery shopping and deep in thought about how I could make a contribution to the world when I noticed an older woman hobbling along pushing her cart. Her right foot was wrapped in bandages and plastic. I saw how much she hurt and I found myself wishing, ‘If only I could wrap my hands around her injured foot and help speed the healing of those tissues.’ At that moment, as I realized how much I cared about a total stranger, I suddenly found my purpose; I felt called to go into health care and, having grown up with chiropractic care, choosing to become a chiropractor was a natural decision.”

Noblesville Family Chiropractic, 953 Maple Ave., is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 8 to 10 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday. It is closed on the weekends. To schedule an appointment, call 214-7218.

Recessed wooden bookcases remains flush to the walls and accent points in a room

to giving up on finding a place, Dahlager lucked into finding the building, which had sat on the market for a year, while driving on 10th Street.

“I believe God was holding it for us,” he said. “I knew immediately this was the right spot for us.”

Although he is still trying to find out more about the building, Dahlager said one of the carpenters for the Conner family built the home in 1905. When Dillon first owned the house, he rented the two back rooms to sisters to bring in income.

“I’ve always liked old buildings,” he said. “The insistence on quality, you can’t get today or get that easily. The craftsmanship and work it took to create that – the attention to detail to make sure everything was just right.”

Dahlager said his parents were antique collectors and he hates “to see anything older tossed aside because it’s older.

“Those are worth preserving and passing long. You can’t go and buy this anywhere,” he said. “I put a level on a window and it’s still level 109 years later.”

The house has received a few upgrades such as converting to a working gas fireplace, but Dahlager’s intention and goal is to restore the building to its original state with antique salvage and period-correct furnishings.

“We’re finding the right materials little by little,” he said, adding that one patient commented on his office bookcase and noted it looks like the one Dillon had in his office.

Although disconnected, the old cast-iron radiators and knob-and-tub fuse box remain, along with all the original woodwork, cabinetry and flooring, which has an inlay of oak, maple and mahogany. Dahlager also is looking into getting a bronze plaque placed onto the building recognizing at as the old Dillon office.

“I’m going to stay on that because he deserves that honor,” he said.

READERS’ VIEWS Board procedure not fair

Make-up days add to school

For now, there will be four days added to the Noblesville Schools calendar as a result of the recent harsh weather. It’s the correct decision to extend school days to June 5, in our opinion. Whereas we always advocate businesses open their doors unless Mother Nature delivers a disaster moment, keeping the students at home is a just priority, when wind chills close in on minus-40 degrees or visibility is so poor that buses full of students are at risk. The decision to close schools for five days since the start of the year does not equate to a “weather freak-out.” It’s the implementation of common sense, and it is to be applauded. Schools officials are awaiting word on a fifth extra day for Jan. 7 closings; the state, we hope, will waive that one. In addition, Noblesville High School’s graduation ceremony has been postponed to June 6 for the same reason. The rescheduling of everything could happen again if any inclement weather causes additional full-day closings.

••• Now that the ominously frigid temperatures apparently are gone with the wind, we’d like to issue a heartfelt “well done” to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept., which, via Nixle (www. nixle.com), kept us abreast of every-changing weather conditions. Mark Bowen’s crew does a magnificent job using this service, and we believe you should take a look at it and make use of it. We’re fond of saying, “Weather happens” – and not only in winter. We rely on the feeds from Bowen’s office throughout the year. It’s a tremendous resource for anyone wishing to pay heed with respect to inclement weather, travel, general safety and protection.

As Deputy Bryant Orem of the Patrol Division stated last week, “The yellow Travel Advisory for Hamilton County has been lifted and is no longer in effect. There are currently no advisories in the county. Wow!” Quite a ride it was.

A happy medium Commentary by Terry Anker Folks who don’t claim English as their native tongue, are often heard to express frustration when learning our language of the many words that claim many meanings. A word can be a verb, noun or adjective. It can be defined by context, by mood or by regional dialect. Perhaps even more confusing, it can be demarcated in several mutually exclusive ways. The word “medium,” for example, is known to be both a unit of measure, a material and a person. It can be the size of drink between a small and a large – although I must admit that one rarely sees a small option on the menu at any American restaurant. We tend to stick with large and EXTRA large. Also, the word medium may be used as an expression of the material used in the construction of art.

A mixed-medium piece would be constituted of several different substances used collectively to make the whole. And, don’t forget that a medium might be a person (one who fills the space between the spirit world, if we believe in these

kinds of things, and our corporal existence); or a medium might be used to express the job or role of someone who might fill this space between ghost and ghost-seeker.

One doesn’t wonder at the confusion. Even as someone who can claim English the mothertongue, I find myself flummoxed by each generation’s fascination with taking a well-established word or phrase and redefining it in new and unexpected ways. As a case-in-point, it could be expected that the much-discussed gay marriage debate has little to do with allowing or disallowing gayety, once commonly defined as meaning a sense of happiness or joyfulness, in the institution. Indeed, it might not be a bad idea for legislatures to attempt to pass a law requiring this sort of gay marriage.

Editor, On Friday, Jan. 25 the Indianapolis Star had a tiny classified ad announcing a public meeting in Noblesville to discuss some additional perks for our superintendent of Noblesville Schools. Among other things, this public meeting will discuss bonuses for the current Superintendent when she announces her retirement date providing a specific time line of 90 days notice is fulfilled; a hefty sum of $25,000 will be given to her for this announcement. An additional announcement of a retroactive pay raise, payable to July 2013 was also announced. Why is this pay raise retroactive? This is an additional $10,000 or more just for being our superintendent. Why is this announcement in the Indianapolis Star and NOT in the Noblesville Current or the Noblesville Times. Obviously, the voters will not be aware of this meeting on Feb.4 at the Educational Services Center on River Road and so now we know that the school board, elected by the people, does NOT represent the people. Some changes MUST be made in future elections.

THEY ALL MUST GO!!!

Public benefits require public dollars Editor, If you aren’t against mass transit then how do you propose it be built if not with some public funding? It seems to me some vital areas of public life need to be supported through public funding (e.g., fire departments, highways, education and defense). It might be pointed out that our nation’s railroads needed public funding and that we might never have made it to the moon without NASA. Not all private enterprises serve us well. Healthcare costs continue to skyrocket with private hospitals and private insurance companies taking the lead. For our long-term economic benefit and to avoid mass gridlock, we need to support mass transit.

Magic-mom touch saves birthday Commentary by Danielle Wilson I recently celebrated a birthday. My mom came up for the occasion and took my daughters and me out for a whirlwind shopping humor spree that ended with the mother lode of all sales ($60 to $90 coats marked down to $5. FIVE DOLLARS!). That evening, we ordered pizza and heard her stories of being pregnant in the ‘70s, learning she was carrying twins two weeks prior to delivering (thanks to an honest-to-God X-ray, which might explain quite a few things about me!) and deciding what boy names she’d chosen for each of her five daughters. (Your favorite columnist could have been Mark.)

But the best part of the day came at an unexpected moment. I was shoving clothes into my teenage son’s dresser so my mom could at least find the bed she’d be sleeping in when I slammed the drawer closed on my finger. The pain was so intense I almost vomited when I got to the kitchen sink, but Mom was at my side immediately.

As I ran cold water over my hand, she began rubbing my back, comforting me with her words and presence. She kept telling me I would be OK, that it didn’t look that bad. She gave me ibuprofen and then prepared an ice pack. She instructed me to sit down and elevate my hand, all while keeping my kids away and distracting me with comments about our house and the

weather and how a younger sister, much like I do, goes bat-poo crazy at her fourth-grader’s basketball games.

I didn’t realize it until later, but the best part of my birthday was that hour on the couch with my mom. Sure, my wounded finger had throbbed like nobody’s business, but I had someone taking care of me. I was allowed to just be a hurting child again and not worry about all the parental duties and responsibilities I was neglecting.

Normally if I am indisposed due to illness or traumatic injury, the kids show sympathy for about two minutes, only until they need help with homework or finding their lunch boxes or whatever. And my husband, though amazing, just isn’t used to being a caregiver. If I go down for the count, Doo responds either like a deer in headlights, paralyzed by panic, or like a typical man, somewhat short on empathy.

But moms are special. They have that magical touch of knowing exactly what to say and do to “make it all better.” And guess what? They never lose that touch, even when their babies are 40ish. So despite my nearly lopping off my finger, I enjoyed a wonderful birthday, thanks to my mom (and the $5 coats!). Peace out.

‘Steel Magnolias’ – laughter through tears

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com “I love you more than my luggage.”

For a woman who has really good luggage, that’s saying a lot. But love is theatre what “Steel Magnolias” is all about. And when Clairee tells Ouiser that she loves her “more than her luggage,” what she’s really saying is that she would do anything in the world for a friend who is truly family to her.

Many people remember “Steel Magnolias” as a marvelous, tear-jerking, heartwarming movie with a fabulous ensemble cast that included Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine and Daryl Hannah. But like many great movies it was based on a stage play, and the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will present that play beginning Feb. 7.

Robert Harling authored “Steel Magnolias” and based it on a very personal experience surrounding his sister’s death. The play opened in New York City in 1987 and was adapted for the screen in 1998.

For those who have never seen the stage play (or spent an evening with a group of girlfriends crying into a bowl of popcorn), it centers on a

group of women in Louisiana: M’Lynn and her daughter, Shelby, who suffers from diabetes and a resulting chronic kidney condition; Truvy, who owns the hair salon where the women often spend their time; a grouchy widow named Ouiser; a cheery, well-to-do widow named Clairee; and a timid new employee named Annelle.

The story takes the women through many of life’s landmark events, including weddings, divorces, births and, inevitably, death. But the crux of the play is the women’s steely resolve to pull each other through with love, laughter and optimism.

Civic’s production stars Kathryn “Kat” Paton (Hendricks County) as M’Lynn and Emily Lantz (Noblesville) as her daughter, Shelby. June McCarty Clair (Carmel) plays Ouiser, Jean Childers Arnold (Indianapolis) plays Truvy, Pamela Kingsley (Westfield) plays Clairee and Casey Votaw (Indianapolis) plays Annelle.

Civic audiences may recognize Lantz (as Shelby, the show’s tragic heroine) from ensemble roles in “Pippin,” “A Chorus Line” and “Guys and Dolls.”

“I’m completely honored to have the opportunity to play this role,” Lantz said. “I remember watching the movie and really being moved by

Julia Roberts’ portrayal. Shelby goes through such a huge transformation in the show, from a girl who cares only about appearances to an amazing, strong woman who would literally give her life for her child.”

“You know, plays come and go,” said Civic’s Artistic Director Bob Sorbera. “Of the 100,000 or more plays written over the years, so many of them have a shelf life. Cultures, styles and points of view change over the years. Just a handful of plays are truly timeless, and ‘Steel Magnolias’ is one of them. The characters are well-written, and the story - because it’s based on actual events - really rings true. I’ve had the pleasure of directing this play three times now, once before for Civic in 2003. It can be wildly hilarious and terribly sad, often in the same moment. It’s truly a beautiful play.”

“Steel Magnolias” • Show times from Feb. 7 through Feb. 22 • Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre • The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • Tickets start at $41.50; $31.50 for kids up to age 18 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Field trip opportunity for students

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Home-schooled students in and around Carmel don’t need to fret when it comes to exciting field trips. theatre On Feb. 28 the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel will host an all-access field trip for home-schoolers and their families. This is in conjunction with the Italian acting company Teatro Di Piazza, which will be performing the interactive sequences of “Blue! The Mediterranean Sea.” Palladium Director of External Relations John Hughey said this is a unique opportunity for theatergoers because of the fun-loving nature of “Blue!”

The show allows students of all ages to intermingle with cast members on and off stage, which will help foster a love and appreciation for the theater.

In addition to the matinee, home-schooled students are invited to a sound and light presentation in the Palladium, offered by the center’s production department.

Students can bring sack lunches on the day of the matinee and eat inside the Center’s Robert Adam Room.

‘Cats’ pounces onto the B&B stage

By Patricia Rettig • news@currentnoblesville.com The seven-time Tony-Award-winning “Cats” pounces onto the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage as the first musical in its theatre 2014 season.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s playful production is the second-longest running show in Broadway history and will be presented from Feb. 6 through March 30 at Beef & Boards.

“Cats” brings audiences into the poetry of T.S. Eliot, whose “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” inspired the musical about frolicking felines gathering for the Jellicle Ball. One by one, they introduce themselves in hopes of being selected by their leader, Old Deuteronomy, to be reborn into a new life with a journey to the Heavyside Layer.

Featuring spectacular dancing, amazing makeup and colorful costumes, “Cats” is an unforgettable experience in the intimate atmosphere of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre – where they are close enough to touch. Not just on stage,

the frolicking creatures are in the aisle and all around, even overhead.

Kenny Shepard of Fishers reprises his role of the narrator, Munkustrap, who he has played in both of Beef & Boards’ previous productions of “Cats.” Performing for the first time at Beef & Boards are J.S. McLaughlin as Old Deuteronomy and Eileen Faxas as Grizabella, who sings the show’s famous “Memory.”

Buddy Reeder, who played the role of Mungojerrie in Beef & Boards’ debut production of “Cats” in 2004, directs the show and restages Marc Robin’s original award-winning choreography. Musical director is Terry Woods, with set design by Michael Layton.

Second City to deliver laughs

By Zach Manges • news@currentnoblesville.com A belated winter gloom may be settling in, but luckily for residents, an opportunity for some good belly laughs to ease the woe is fast approaching. comedy Zionsville will play host to the nationally renowned comedy troupe The Second City at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 7, The comedy troop is making its fourth appearance in town on its new “Happily Ever Laughter” tour.

“We definitely want to bring something fresh and new,” Cast Member Erin Lann said. “This running order specifically is fun because it has so much new material and some old favorites that haven’t been seen for a while. There will be lots of physical comedy that people can look forward to.”

From its inception by Paul Sills, Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins, The Second City has flouted the convention of stuffy theatre by appealing to all generations of viewers. The comedy group also sets itself apart from others of its kind through a format that includes a range of both scripted and improvisational sketches. Even the

prewritten sections of the show include some improvisation to keep the audience and the performers guessing. According to Lann, this benefits not only viewers, but the cast members as well.

“The fact that we have improvisation in all our sketches is paramount. No one can anticipate or plan what will happen, so that’s a fun aspect to it,” Lann said. “It’s not like theatre plays where an actor just fills a role. Here it’s material they’ve created, so the chemistry is undeniable. Every actor has a poignant view and you just want to watch them (all).”

“Improvisation keeps theatre extremely relevant and successful because you can see the show 20 nights in a row and each is still going to be unique,” Lann said. “You can’t explain what’s funny to someone. You just have to go see it for yourself.”

Second City’s “Happily Ever Laughter” tour • 7:30 p.m. Feb. 7 • Zionsville Performing Arts Center • 1000 Mulberry St. in Zionsville • Tickets start at $17 • For more information call 873-3355 or visit pac.zcs.k12.in.us

The Valentine’s dilemma: Obligation or opportunity?

Commentary by Julie Osborne

Fragrant flowers, sparkling gems, shiny cards with expressions of love, chocolate everywhere, hearts galore ... it’s that time of year again, my favorite time (not!).

I don’t know when or where it started, but Valentine’s Day at some point became my least favorite holiday. Maybe it happened gradually as my years of singleness increased along with the hoopla, which became just one more in-my-face reminder of my lonely, partnerless state. More annoying were the giddy, romantic couples who appeared to surround me at every turn and

made me feel inferior since the love in the air was not what I was breathing. I can’t pinpoint exactly when, but I grew to dread February, and it had nothing to do with the weather.

Until one day when I found myself listening to my own words as I talked about the Hallmark holidays with my kids. The words poured out without my thinking: “I know it feels like an obligation but why not look at it as an opportunity to express your appreciation and love for someone?” I asked. Where did THAT come from? Wow, that was pretty good! It was even after Mother’s

Day so it couldn’t have been premediated or some passive-agressive planting of seeds. It just spewed out of nowhere.

Since then I have decided to embrace, rather than complain about, Valentine’s Day and the other holidays set aside throughout the year for seemingly commercial purposes ($14 billion for Valentine’s Day alone, by the way). I’ve decided to use this time to express my love and gratitude to family and friends. And, with my Christmas cards still heaped in a stack on the corner of my kitchen counter, it’s a perfect time to send an

“early” valentine.

May you also come to see Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to show someone your love.

And, of course, it doesn’t hurt to pick up a dozen roses, too!

Martyrs and matchmaking: How Valentine’s Day started It actually started with a person, Valentine or Valentinus, but can also be linked to a pagan celebration, Lupercalia, which involved slapping straps of goat hide onto women to increase their chances of fertility, and then later matching them up by a random draw with potential suitors. The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints with the name Valentine, one of whom was martyred on February 14. One legend tells the story of a third-century Roman priest under the reign of Emperor Claudius II. He decided that single men made better soldiers on the battlefield than homesick married men who were missing their families. As a result, Claudius outlawed marriage for young men, but Valentine stepped up couragelously against him and continued to marry couples secretly. When he discovered this, Claudius ordered

that Valentine be put to death. The legend continues with Valentine falling in love with the jailer’s daughter (some more conservative versions of the story say “healing the daughter”) and, on the day of his death, leaving a note behind for her signed, “From your Valentine.”

From that legend, the celebration spread and, in the Middle Ages, became romanticized. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem the Duke of Orleans wrote to his wife in 1415 while imprisoned in the Tower of London. In the 1840s, Valentine’s cards became more well-known and widespread by the “Mother of Valentine,” Esther Howland, who began designing and mass producing valentines in America. According to the Greeting Card Association, today an estimated one billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest cardsending holiday of the year behind Christmas (2.6 billion cards).

and tricks that will extend the life of your cut flower arrangement.

Quality floral arrangements should last four to seven days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive from you, your florist and the farmer who grew them. Many cut flowers travel halfway around the world before even arriving to your local florist, so a trusted local florist is key.

Hydration is Life! Fresh, clean water should be added daily to the vase or floral foam. We recommend changing the water completely every three days or before if the flower food solution becomes cloudy. If possible, re-cut stems by removing 1 to 2 inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into the solution. You should never use softened or well water for fresh-cut flowers. Salt in any form is not a friend to

fresh flowers or plants and the minerals in well water will clog flower stems and stop them from drinking.

Flower stems can be visualized as millions of little straws wrapped together – if they begin to clog or are pinched, the flowers will stop drinking, thus shortening their life.

Hydrangeas are notorious for wilting even when cared for properly – if this happens, use a sharp knife to make a fresh cut, removing about an inch of the old stem, and place it immediately into fresh water; watch it come back to life in less than an hour. If it continues to wilt, you can submerge the entire bloom head and stem in water, re-cut the stem under water and keep it submerged for about 20 minutes or until it has rehydrated. Many flowers can be saved with the same care.

Location, location, location! Keep fresh flowers in a cool spot (65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit) away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents and not directly under ceiling fans or on top of televisions or radiators. Heat = dehydration. Most flowers last longer under cool conditions.

The importance of asset location Commentary by Joel Harris

As we embark on setting our goals for 2014, it might be a good idea to take a closer look at the asset location of personal finance your investments.

Many of us have heard about the benefits of asset allocation, a theory in which a person invests his or her money in several asset classes in an attempt to provide the greatest return potential over time.

This is all based on the person’s level of risk tolerance, time horizon and investment objectives.

But what about asset location?

The idea behind asset location is placing various investments in different types of accounts to help minimize taxes. One of the most often overlooked aspects of short- and long-term financial planning is minimizing taxation through careful asset location.

In the new year we will be inundated with ads on TV, radio and the Internet about taxes. Yes, that dreaded word we all loathe ... taxes.

Instead of going through the motions and rushing to the post office on April 15, I challenge you to take a really close look at where your investments are located.

With the equity markets having an outstanding year in 2013, many commonly held investments will pass on short- and long-term capital gains to investors. These hidden tax bombs can really wreak havoc in a taxable brokerage account.

When you do your asset location analysis, focus particularly on the turnover ratio of your investments. Some investments can have upwards of 200 percent turnover in a given year.

That means the capital gains exposure could be quite significant.

Why is that important? More than likely, you will receive a 1099 in February from your brokerage custodian because the capital gains were passed on to you as the shareholder, even if you didn’t sell any shares that given year.

Instead of owning investments with high turnover inside a taxable brokerage account, wouldn’t it be more tax advantageous to own passively managed exchange traded funds?

It is certainly something to consider, and it should be closely examined with your financial professionals.

Additionally, taking advantage of tax-deferred accounts should be a priority. Taxation on your investments is the closest thing to acid rain for your money. It is imperative to keep an umbrella over your investments through the use of tax-qualified accounts such as 401(k)s, traditional and Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs, and even tax-deferred annuities.

The compounding effect of money in taxqualified accounts is profound, so take a close look at these accounts when you analyze your asset location.

In 2014, you will be allowed to contribute up to $17,500 into your 401(k) accounts, plus an additional $5,500 if you’re over age 50. The 2014 contribution limits on traditional and Roth IRAs will be $5,500, plus an additional $1,000 if you’re over age 50.

Keep in mind that you still might qualify to contribute up to $5,500, plus an additional $1,000 if you’re over 50, into your IRAs for the 2013 tax year.

DISPATCH The Obamacare penalty applies only to those who get a tax refund - Starting this year, the Obamacare law imposes a penalty on individuals who fail to have so-called minimum essential health insurance coverage for any month. You are supposed to pay any penalty you owe with your Form 1040 for the year — starting with your 2014 return, which you will file sometime next year.

However, the only enforcement mechanism is that the government can subtract any unpaid penalty from your federal income tax refunds. So if you’re not owed a refund for 2014 or a later year, you will never have any consequences for not paying the penalty. You won’t be subject to criminal prosecution, and the IRS cannot put a lien or levy on your income or assets. - Yahoo! Finance F. C. Tucker Company’s

December building permit reports indicate that the construction business will do well in 2014 in the central Indiana area.

Single-family building construction permits increased 21 percent compared to November numbers and increased 19 percent over 2012 numbers. There were 4,959 new home permits issued in 2013 compared to 4,182 in 2012.

“This is a true indicator of a strong economy in central Indiana,” said Steve Lains, CEO of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. “We have continued to see permit numbers steadily increase and forecasters are predicting numbers to hold strong in 2014; proving that a growing housing market is critical to a stable economy.”

In central Indiana, the permits issued through December 2013 are poised to create a total economic impact of $888,076,580 in local income, $201,608,085 in local taxes, and 15,036 local jobs.

The should haves and have nots Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I am not without my regrets. I mean, I’d be a millionaire many times over if I’d seen Bitcoin coming. And I probably grammar guy shouldn’t have gone to see “Prometheus.” (It’s just a thinly veiled remake of “Aliens.” Come on, Ridley!) Oh well … could of, should of, would of, right?

Wrong.

I see this error frequently. Folks incorrectly substitute “of” for “have” in phrases such as “I could have done better” or “I should have seen that coming.”

It’s easy to understand where the confusion comes from. In speech, we often shorten “should have” and the like to “should’ve,” which sounds like “should of.” The misheard conjunction then makes its way back into writing, and we have ourselves a grammar error.

Beyond just saying it’s wrong, though, let’s look at why it’s wrong. “Should,” “would” and “could” are auxiliary verbs, or helping verbs.

Their function is to augment the main verb (i.e.,

to “help” it). They can be used to add a tense or aspect to a verb – as we’ve learned how to do recently with the perfect and progressive forms – or to change a verb’s modality into the conditional mood. We haven’t talked about moods in the grammatical sense yet, so we’ll leave it at that for now.

When using an auxiliary verb, you need a main verb for it to augment – something like “go,” “be” or “have.” As a preposition, “of” doesn’t fit the bill.

It leaves our helping verb with nothing to help and starts a prepositional phrase to nowhere.

To wrap this rule up: Should you use “of” after an auxiliary verb? No. Would I recommend investing in Bitcoin? I advise against taking any investing advice from your grammar columnist. Could I forgive Ridley Scott for “Prometheus?” Yes … but only because he made “Blade Runner.”

Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing.

CHILLING OUT - If cold weather is what you like, then you’ll love bundling up and enjoying a stay at the ICeHOTEL in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden. Made up of more than 6,000 square feet of ice and snow, it’s the largest - and the original - ice hotel in the world. Guests sleep in a specially made thermal sleeping bag on a unique bed built of snow and ice on reindeer skins. In the morning, a cup of hot lingonberry juice is brought to your bedside, after which you can enjoy the warm comfort and relaxation of an early morning sauna. Which way to the beach? - icehotel.com

INSIDE & OUT Commentary by Larry Greene

Current in Noblesville

www.currentnoblesville.com

Upgrading a standard screened porch

Exisiting porch: This home in the Woods of Williams Creek addition on the west side of Carmel included a fairly blueprint for basic screened porch improvement installed by the original builder. The porch extended out to include an exterior deck landing and staircase. The goal of the project was to upgrade the screened porch, expand the deck footprint and upgrade the stairway down to the pool area.

Porch upgrades: Most of the existing porch walls, trim and ceiling were removed. New piers were installed allowing the footprint of the porch and deck to be expanded out into the back yard.

A new set of French patio doors were installed connecting the porch to the kitchen. New double screened doors were added to the other end of the porch allowing better access out to the deck.

The ceiling received special detail with a beaded ceiling with coffers and trimmed out with crown molding.

Deck details: The new deck and staircases were built using Trex Transcend composite decking in a Lava Rock color.

Cable railing: A cable railing system, using powder coated newel posts and stainless steel cables, offered a more contemporary look and architectural interest to the structure. It also protected the view of the back yard from the up-

before & after

Final results: Good design transformed what could have been just an ordinary deck and staircase into a striking piece of architecture.

Enhancing the already beautiful back yard, the new structure also offered the homeowners better views and increased functionality.

per porch. Cedar was used for the handrails and stained to match the new composite decking.

Lighting: Lighting was of particular importance for safety, as well as aesthetics. LED accent lights were installed along the perimeter of the deck. Stair tread lighting was installed in a staggered pattern, allowing the steps to be lit using fewer fixtures.

Planter boxes: To create a relaxing ambiance and privacy for the hot tub area, custom-built planter boxes were added to the tub decking.

The boxes were framed in green treated wood, and wrapped with the Trex material to match the new structure.
