State of the County covers roads, future projects

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com With more than 200 in attendance, Noblesville Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bob DuBois said the organizagovernment tion’s Jan. 27 luncheon was the largest crowd on record for the monthly events.

This one served as the annual State of the County address by Hamilton Co. Commissioner Steven Dillinger.

Dillinger spoke to the crowd comprised of representatives from each of the county’s four cities, including Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, along with Dillinger’s fellow commissioners, Christine Altman and Mark Heirbrandt.

And in light of harsh winter storms near Washington D.C., Representative Susan W. Brooks was able to attend as well, addressing the crowd briefly.

“I have to admit, it’s so wonderful to be home,” she said. “I have heard Steve give the State of the County before, so I was thrilled to learn that I could actually come.”

Dillinger’s lighthearted address lasted nearly an hour and covered many topics recapping 2015, focusing on finances, public safety and roads.

FINANCES Starting the address with the budget, Dillinger said the 2015 county budget was $153,121,000, but actual dollars spent were $132,853,000, resulting in an approximate $20.3 million surplus. Overall, the county general fund, COIT (county option income tax) fund and rainy day fund make for a $55,431,000 surplus for the county.

Dillinger said these capital reserves allow for cash flow flexibility, greater leverage on capital improvements projects and the government center expansion, jail expansion and Ind. 37 project.

ROADS AND HIGHWAYS

Ind. 37 Project – Of all the things discussed in his address, Dillinger said the Ind. 37 project was the thing he was most excited about.

“This is my favorite, favorite thing, and it’s been my favorite thing for years,” he said. “I believe that this project will mean more to this community than any singular thing we have done.”

Projected for construction to begin at the 126th Street intersection, the cost for the five intersections at 126th, 131st, 135th, 141st and 146th is estimated at $115.1 million. Cost for the intersections at Greenfield Avenue, Town & Country and Pleasant Street is estimated at $69.5 million.

Contributions to the Ind. 37 project include $100 million from the state and $12 million from each the City of Fishers and the county, totaling $124 million. In addition, the county and City of Fishers will put forth an additional $4.5 million each, with a contribution of $16.5 million from the City of Noblesville and approximately $10-$15 million in remaining funds.

146th Street to Keystone Avenue – “You weren’t able to get south on Keystone to 146th, and that was very problematic,” Dillinger said.

“We were able to get some federal funds, and we’re going to do this project. It’s projected to be done at the end of 2019. That is at 146th Street and Lowes Way. You’ll be able to go over a bridge and get on an access on Keystone, or you’ll be able to go on Range Line Road and go into Carmel that way. So that’s going to give a lot more connectivity in our community.”

PUBLIC SAFETY Correctional campus – Dillinger said the effects of House Bill 1006, which became effective Jan. 1, will require the county to make changes to its correctional campus. The bill requires level

6 felons to remain in the county jail instead of the Indiana Dept. of Corrections, significantly increasing the population at the jail.

He said short-term solution would be the use of the third floor of the existing correctional building, which sits empty and was left that way after construction for projected future use and growth. Dillinger said the county is looking at a long-term solution of building another pod on the campus to house approximately an additional 400 inmates.

Public safety training facility – Dillinger was quick to boast the county’s four nationally accredited police departments in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and the Hamilton Co. Sheriff’s Office.

He continued, saying Hamilton Co. is the most affluent, successful, forward-thinking county in the state, but, within its borders, does not have a state-of-the-art firearms range for police and sheriff training, an emergency vehicle operations course or a live fire training tower for firefighters.

Plans for such a training facility to include these things was voted against by four county councilors, despite being endorsed by all three county commissioners, all mayors and city and town councils, all township trustees and boards and all police and fire chiefs.

Dillinger didn’t hesitate to criticize the councilors who voted against the county’s $3 million contribution, presenting within his slideshow a photo of the council with councilors Paul Ayers, Brad Beaver, Fred Glynn and Rick McKinney circled in red. Those who voted for the training facility (Jim Belden, Amy Massillamany and Steve Schwartz) were circled in green on a later slide.

Dillinger said, at least for now, the council’s decision has killed the project.

Council approves annexations, continues waiver request

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Noblesville Common Council held a regular meeting Jan. 26. The council’s next

regular meeting is set for 7 p.m. today, Feb. 9, in the Noblesville City Hall Council Chambers, 16 S. 10th St. To see an agenda, visit www. cityofnoblesville.org.

What happened: The council unanimously approved two ordinances annexing properties at 3477 Conner St. and 170 Mill Creek Rd. Why it matters: Contiguous to the existing city limits, the annexation of these properties allows the city to make appropriate sewer connections.

What’s next: The ordinances will take effect Feb. 25.

What happened: The council voted to continue a request for an architectural building materials waiver for Mo’s Irish Pub and Restaurant, 13193 Levinson Lane, in Hamilton Town Center.

Why it matters: Upon the construction of covering it’s outdoor patio, contractors working for Mo’s Irish Pub installed non-permitted, semi-permanent, clear, polycarbonate building material to cover the outdoor patio of the restaurant from rain and inclement weather. After realizing the mistake, representatives from the restaurant requested a building materials waiver from the City of Noblesville. First going to the Noblesville Plan Commission, the request was unanimously denied over concerns of setting a precedent of allowing non-permitted materials, along with concerns of the aging of the material, which is non-permitted because it is believed to scratch easily and become discolored from clear to an opaque white.

What’s next: The council voted to continue to the request to the first February meeting of 2019.

This way, the business can avoid zoning infraction because they are now part of the public hearing process. And, it allows time to pass to for the council to judge how material is aging, at which point they will have the authority to tell Mo’s Irish Pub to remove the material or allow it.

Schools, city announce ‘Innovation Center’

news@currentnoblesville.com

Noblesville Schools and the City of Noblesville announced today a vision for a studentled Noblesville Incollaboration novation Center that would serve as a hub for entrepreneurial activity, business problem solving and next-level skills development.

The announcement was made as part of an Innovation Summit, held Jan. 26 and hosted by the city and school district, highlighting the cutting-edge education model practiced in Noblesville High School’s Innovations class.

Area business and community leaders, as well as national innovation thought-leaders, attended the summit to discuss the transformation of the educational experience, and how an Innovation Center will benefit economic development and learning in Noblesville.

Noblesville teacher, innovation author and 2015 Indiana Innovation Award winner Don Wettrick spoke to the crowd with his vision to grow innovation in Noblesville.

“We are doing education differently, and we are doing it in Noblesville,” he said. “Students are now living in an environment where knowledge is free. We must not simply pass on knowledge to our students, but prepare them to produce something with their knowledge base. It’s no longer an issue of how much they know, but rather what our students can do with what they know.”

Several of Wettrick’s students were also showcased at the event and spoke about their specific innovation endeavors ranging from patented solar panel technology, to app development, to environmental policy change.

“Innovation is the key to equipping today’s students for tomorrow’s workforce and for building our knowledge economy from the ground up,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “We’re excited to be leading in this area and at the prospect of facilitating partnerships between local businesses and Noblesville Schools’ bright student problem-solvers

JDS Employment Specialist Becke Nauyokas reminisces with Jennifer Bolander, right, about her 24-year career as a JDS client in the Community Employmnet program. (Photo by Theresa Skutt)

Jennifer Bolander holds job for 24 years after going to Janus Developmental Services

By Renee Larr • news@currentnoblesville.com Noblesville resident Jennifer Bolander has worked at her job at Taco Bell for 24 years.

In a time where people change jobs as often as their clothes, her tenure is quite impressive cover story but for other reasons, as well. Bolander has attended Janus Developmental Services in Noblesville for the past 24 years.

JDS specializes in assisting adults with developmental disabilities in every day life tasks. They focus on providing their clients with training on how to find a job, how to interview for a job and how to maintain the job once they have it.

Bolander is one of JDS’s longest clients and greatest success stories. She came to JDS’s Community Employment program in 1992 with the hopes of getting a job and making friends while bettering herself as a person.

“That’s the goal when someone comes through vocational rehabilitation when they want a job working in the community,” said Becke Nauyokas, an employment specialist at JDS. “It’s a process. We meet with them, find their likes and dislikes. Then we develop a plan. From there, we do some job development.”

In her time washing dishes at Taco Bell, Bolander has become quite the model employee and is well known by her customers.

“I like working there because I get to say hi to my friends,” she said.

janus community luncheons Each month, Janus Developmental Services hosts a community luncheon. These free luncheons allow community members to visit and tour the JDS facilities and learn about the programs and services the organization offers.

This month’s luncheon will be at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 17 at the JDS campus, 1555 Westfield Rd., Noblesville.

For more or to RSVP, contact Joanne McDonough at 773-8781, ext. 112.

It seems the admiration is a two-way street. In 24 years, there have never been complaints from a supervisor or coworker. In fact, they all sing her praises.

“She’s always very friendly and smiling,” said Christine Bolton, Bolander’s manager. “She will remember any employee’s name that she’s worked with in the last (24) years.

We have a lot of people that come in as customers that used to work here years ago, and she still remembers their name to this day. She’s really well known around Noblesville. A lot of our customers ask about how she is doing.”

The job gives Bolander independence and a sense of purpose.

“It’s just a big part of her life. That chunk every day where she knows she’s needed and has somewhere to go and something important to do,” said Janine Cowell, Bolander’s former job coach.

Bolander says she enjoys working and is saving her money for a noble reason. When asked why she was saving, she said, “I save it to help my parents out.”

Although she no longer needs a full-time job, employee coaches at JDS still check in with her manager to ensure everything is going well at work.

“We do pop in from time to time to see how everything is going,” Nauyokas said. “For example, if Taco Bell wanted her to learn some new tasks we would go in and assist her in learning those new tasks.”

In addition to working, she still attends JDS two days each week. When she arrives, she mostly works on art projects and socializes with her friends. Her artwork is sometimes taken home, but is also sold at an art shows to benefit JDS. When she’s not working or creating pieces of art she says she enjoys riding her bike, playing games on her tablet and taking walks.

The organization has certainly helped Bolander achieve her dream of having a job, but Cowell credits another group for her success.

“She has a great support network at home with her mom and dad but also with a group of friends that get together at each other’s houses and do things together. She’s just a very well-rounded person,” Cowell said.

Bolander said she feels grateful to those at Janus who assisted her in getting her job all those years ago.

“I like having my job,” she said.

Parenting ain’t easy

F R O M T HE BA C K S H O P

U.S. 31 a boon to our region It seems like it was ages ago, when the project to convert the former Meridian Street into a freeway now known as U.S. 31 got under way in 2011. As was the case with the making of Keystone Parkway, we all lived with varying shares of delays, dust and dirt and shortcuts, but now that it’s all but complete, who really remembers it? As we wrote back when Keystone was in the thick of being converted, no one would think much of the inconveniences long term, because the pleasure was and is worth whatever pain was associated with the project. And thus shall be the fading memory of all that U.S. 31 entailed for motorists. We never imagined the day when we could travel in six minutes from 146th Street to I-465, but that’s reality, and we rather enjoy it. And speaking of the interstate, the flyovers are nothing short of incredible. Everything has flowed effortlessly for us, and we imagine it’s the same for you.

There are some finishing touches to be applied, but, oh, what a difference the new thoroughfare makes. Well done!

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

This could be a rumble Commentary by John L. Micek It’s so on.

Instead of a coronation, Democrat Hillary Clinton, the ultimate political insider, left Iowa last week in the middle of an honestto-goodness campaign against a septuagenarian, self-described Democratic Socialist who’d promised his supporters a political revolution.

For Republicans, Donald Trump, the bloviating former reality TV star who boasted that voters would get so sick of winning with him that they’d beg for the occasional loss, found himself awkwardly trying to be gracious in defeat to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who speaks in the cadences of the pulpit and dresses in the suits of a mortician.

A defining Iowa win was considered critical for Clinton, who trails Sanders by an average of 18 points in New Hampshire, based on data compiled by RealClear Politics. The

Granite State holds its primary today. In 2008, Clinton lost Iowa, and the race, to another charismatic outsider — Barack Obama.

The Clinton camp tried to characterize Sanders’ strong Iowa showing as a one-off. But Sanders’ win highlights ongoing problems for Clinton, who’s faced questions about her honesty and trustworthiness over an email scandal that simply will not go away.

With just five percentage points separating them, Trump, Cruz and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida provided Republicans with an unexpected three-way race for the GOP crown heading into today’s vote.

A dead heat for the Democrats. A horse race for the GOP. John L. Micek is a political journalist and opinion editor for PennLive/The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. You may email him at jmicek@pennlive.com.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K Liberty means responsibility.

That is why most men dread it.

– George Bernard Shaw

When does parenting get easy? I thought that once my kids grew out of the croup-prone, communicationhumor challenged phase, I’d be set.

Then I was certain that when my oldest could babysit my youngest, life would begin anew. Now that I have a teenage driver, I should be golden, right? But parenting only seems to be getting harder.

The reasons for my current maternal ulcer are one sick daughter and one underachieving son. Together they have pushed, nay, shoved my mommy patience to the brink. Two totally different parenting dilemmas thrust upon me as I also try manage a job, house, a husband and various other everyday minutia.

First up, my tiny dancer. Eleven days ago she began complaining of a headache, and while I first chalked it up to lack of sleep, by the fourth day of constant pain, I began trolling the internet for brain tumor symptoms. Everything checked out fine at the pediatrician; the doctor simply advised to up the OTC ibuprofen. But after a sixth day and multiple SOS text messages from her, I had to work some logistical magic over my lunch break to get an unauthorized neighbor to break her out of school.

The headache was getting worse, and had us both in tears that evening. It seemed I could do nothing to help my baby. Finally, on office visit number two, the doc found fluid in her ears and swollen glands. Thank Jesus! I can handle a sinus infection! We’re now on antibiotics and the headache has all but disappeared.

In the middle of this “What if my kid has cancer?” week, my husband Doo casually glanced at our 17-year-old’s grades, and completely lost his shtick. We ended up in a fight about the best way to encourage our son to work to his potential, and completely forgot to even ground the ne’erdo-well. How do we motivate a kid who is quite happy with “doing okay?” Should we step back or get in his face? I don’t know, and it’s driving me nuts.

So I ask again, “When does parenting get easy?” Peace out.

REA D ER S ’ V I E W S Reader questions city’s future Editor, In response to Mike Corbett’s letter, published Jan. 26: What a great article. I am a fiscal conservative and appreciate his perspective. I have lived in Noblesville for seven years. I have been somewhat OK with the way things were running. That has stopped for me. All for a stupid $10 fee. This is a small thing, but there is more of this (fees v. tax) coming in the future. I am retired on a fixed income. A fee is a tax increase no matter what you call it. What happened to the Republican mantra of lower taxes? The garbage collection fee is in our taxes. Population is increasing, so are taxes to cover services. I read the reason for the trash fee from Common Councilors Jensen, Hampton and Wiles. My reading was this fee isn’t for garbage but future expenses to our community, expenses that are not worth the expense. Example: the new park on Logan. We have a big park about a mile up the street. Na-

ture trail to eventually get to Monon.

A good idea. My question: What percentage of our population actually uses these venues?

I’m saying under 10 percent, just a guess. A new park is planned on Boden, a waste to me. Now, if I don’t put my garbage or recycle out one week, will I get a credit? Of course not.

I used to live where you bought garbage collection bags, and they picked them up for free, pay for what you use. Not a bad idea. I know I am venting for $10, but you can’t panic too early. I see the future. I have paid school taxes my whole life, no children. My parents paid school taxes their whole life, we all went to parochial schools thru college. Where did that money go for inferior education today? Not to the schools I went to. Sorry, I’m venting, but I will tell you, I will not vote for anyone, including Ditslear, in the future who voted for this stupid fee.

Bad budgeting leads to surplus Editor, I’ve read with interest the fact that Hamilton Co., during the 2015 operating year, was so thrifty the various county departments and operations came in under budget at $20,300,000.

In some circles this would be commendable if a suggested budgeting process was not being used. As an example, a budget written with this much fat is, in reality, not a budget but merely a spending plan.

The non-government business entity writing a budget as suggested could not survive.

In other words, those “rainy day funds and surpluses,” as last checked, were taxpayer dollars.

Why not reduce the tax rates and the respective department budgets, which may just address the bad budgeting practices involving budgets that result in an additional annual surplus of $20,300,000.

Zero based budgeting or a similar process will assist in presenting more realistic and functioning budget benefiting all taxpayers!

Jim Williams, Noblesville

Cigarette tax increase a ‘big win’ Editor, (On Jan. 28,) the Indiana House of Representatives Ways & Means Committee passed House Bill 1001, which includes a $1 tax increase on cigarettes. Proceeds from the tax will be allocated to Medicaid. This is a big win for the health of all Hoosiers. Increasing the tax on cigarettes will affect the health, both physically and fiscally, of the state. Indiana lawmakers finally are recognizing that the tax, which has been in place since 2007, is $0.99 lower than most surrounding states and ranks 34th nationally, needs to increase. The adult smoking rate in Indiana is 22.9 percent, six percent higher than the national average.

Tax and policy are proven to be the best ways to curb smoking.

Increasing the tax by $1 promises to do the following:

• Lead to as much as a 7-percent decline in adult smoking rates.

• Provide 1.4 billion dollars in long-term health care cost.

• Decrease youth smoking by 12 percent over time.

• Prevent 20,400 premature smoking deaths.

About 77 percent of Hoosiers support using increased tobacco taxes as revenue generator. If you support the tax increase, contact your legislators and let them know. As House Bill 1001 moves to the Senate, it’s even more critical to communicate your support of increasing the tax to protect youth, assist this who smoke to quit and to improve the state’s fiscal viability.

LIVE HEART IN THE

Councilors explain trash fee voting decision Editor, When we first decided to seek the office of Noblesville Common Council, our objective was to have a voice to help mold the future of the city we love. Many proposed projects, such as new trails, additional public safety, downtown infrastructure and more were yet to be funded.

No one likes to pay more taxes or fees, and as Republican leaders it goes against our very nature to impose more fees on residents. This week, the Noblesville Common Council voted to approve a user fee associated with trash pick-up.

With the passing of property tax caps in 2009, the game changed in terms of municipal funding. While services such as trash pick-up have long been paid for out of the general fund, we are now faced with unfunded infrastructure projects and an ever-tightening budget.

We asked many questions while considering this vote. We discussed this proposal with our constituents, and we appreciate the residents who attended and spoke at the public forum on Tuesday night. Our job is to vote for

what we feel is right for the majority of the people, for what we feel is best for Noblesville.

It was important to us that the city created provisions in the fee to help those in need; the reduced rate plans are good, and we are all willing to help those who need assistance in filing the paperwork to receive the benefits outlined in the ordinance. To learn more about the property tax discount, or for more information on the trash fee, visit cityofnoblesville.org.

It is important to us that we have a plan on how to utilize the increased bottom line, and we are all committed to moving Noblesville forward. We each have a true love for this city. Noblesville is our home. We will never shy away from the opportunity to wisely invest in the long-term health and prosperity of a place we love. This is an investment we are confident will propel Noblesville forward.

Current asked readers to submit short essays about romantic marriage proposals. Online voters chose the top three favorite stories of romance. To read more of these essays, visit youarecurrent.com.

THE MOST ROMANTIC MARRIAGE PROPOSAL

Scavenger Hunt ends with proposal by Gail and Jay Blackburn of Carmel My now husband’s name is Jay Blackburn. We live in Carmel, have two beautiful girls, Grace (13) and Rachel (9). We have been married 16 years.

In July 1998, I was offered the opportunity to go to Europe and live for three months and work. Little did I know when I got this offer, my then-boyfriend, was planning out an elaborate proposal for me that was due to take place the very next weekend after I was offered the job opportunity. Of course, I was to go on my European job assignment in three weeks.

So it was also around our “dating anniversary,” so he just told me he had a surprise for me, and I wasn’t to put anything on the calendar for Saturday, July 11th. That morning he sent me off on a scavenger hunt.

First stop was a trip to the spa (which I love). I got three treatments and a light lunch at Phillipe’s Spa in Indy. At that end of it, one of the people working in there came into the dressing room and gave me a card (from Jay) that gave me my next destination. I was to go “Parisian” (now no longer at the mall) since I was about to embark on a European adventure.

I was to pick out my favorite perfume (with the gift card in the card) and ask for a certain person behind the perfume counter that would help me with my next destination.

I got another card (from Jay) that advised me to go to “The Gap” and pick something out (with gift card again) that I would enjoy while we would have a “gap” between us as we lived in two different countries (I purchased a pair of pants). To read the full story, visit youarecurrent.com.

Life’s like a box of chocolates

by Lindsey Campuzano of Noblesville

My husband, Armando, proposed to me on February 17, 2008.

Since we’d only been dating about a year and Valentine’s Day had just passed, it came as a complete surprise.

Armando had recently purchased a new home, and we had invited my parents and younger siblings over for dinner and to see the new place. After dinner, as we were chatting in the living room, Armando disappeared into the bedroom. He was gone long enough that I was beginning to wonder what he was up to, when he emerged with a box of Ghirardelli chocolates. He handed them to me and asked me to pick one. I am not a huge fan of chocolate, so I declined and handed them to my sister to pass around the group. As the box of chocolates made its way around the room, Armando insisted that I try one. I agreed and when the box was in my lap, I started to select one. He stopped me, telling me there was a special one he wanted me to try. Nestled among the chocolates, he had wrapped a beautiful ring in a Hershey’s Kiss wrapper. In front of my family, Armando asked me spend the rest of our lives together and I happily agreed.

Eight wonderful years later, it’s the best chocolate I’ve ever received.

The package deal by Mary Pierce of Noblesville My story is not a traditional engagement, because as my oldest son told my future husband, “She is a package deal.” (My boys were ages 9 and 14.) My future husband, John, had never been married nor had any children. That was December 2002.

Fast forward to March 2008, John told me to pack an overnight bag with clothes suitable for dinner. He had a surprise date planned. I did not know that he had already asked my father for permission to ask me to get married. We had discussed getting engaged, but I had no idea when it would happen.

So, on March 20, 2008, I packed my bag and off we went. I had no idea of our destination and no hints. We arrived at The Canterbury Hotel where John made reservations for the presidential suite, which was incredible.

We entered the presidential suite and there was an enormous beautiful floral arrange-

ment. I turned to John and said, “Wow, they take care of everything.” At that point John said, “I took care of that. They are yours. I took care of this as well.” He took out a small box, got down on one knee, and asked, “Would you be my wife?”

Of course, I said, “yes.” After I said yes, John said that you have two hours to call everyone and then we have reservations at St. Elmo’s and tickets for the Bruce Springsteen concert. Following a wonderful dinner, we went to the concert where everyone congratulated us. John planned and surprised me with the most wonderful, magical engagement.

We were married June 8, 2010. Both of our sons gave wonderful toasts. Everyday, I am thankful for a wonderful man who married a “package deal” and became the best husband and father a woman could ask for.

Perfectly pink Commentary by Anna Skinner After recently receiving its liquor license, Rosie’s Place in Noblesville wasted no time in establishing a great mix of unique recipe and traditional cocktails for being a breakfast and lunch café. Waiting until 5 o’clock to indulge won’t be an option as you can take your sweetie out on Valentine’s Day and order the colorful Grapefruit Mimosa.

The unique spin on the traditional orange juice and champagne beverage comes in three parts – a small bottle of champagne, a small decanter of grapefruit juice and an empty champagne flute. You play mixologist, and whether or not you prefer your unique mimosas fruitier or with more bubbly, it’s all up to you to decide.

It yielded about two mimosas and is a perfectly pink way to share your love and appreciation with each other on Valentine’s Day. Not a grapefruit fan? Rosie’s Place offers the traditional orange juice and champagne version as well to start the special morning off right.

Deliver Valentine’s songs

Almond French toast

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Circle City Sound has been delivering love songs for Valentine’s Day for more than 20 years. gifts Several barbershop quartets, wearing tuxes, from within Circle City Sound, travel all over the Indianapolis area to perform Singing Valentines.

“One time we sang to a fellow, whose wife bought the Valentine for him, while he was in the dentist’s chair,” said Circle City Sound member Jack Shaffer, a Carmel resident. “We’re singing to him while the dentist is cleaning his teeth.”

Shaffer said it is usually a two-day event when the quartets schedule these Singing Valentines, but with Valentine’s Day falling on Sunday this year, they will have quartets out for three days, Feb. 12-14.

Shaffer said each quartet will do 10 to 18 each day, depending how far apart the visits are that day. He anticipates they will perform 100 Singing Valentines.

Shaffer said they perform “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” or “Heart of My Heart.” They deliver a personalized Valentine’s Day card from the person who ordered it and a silk rose. The quartet also poses for a picture

Almonds! Their fragrance goes with chocolate and strawberries, and spells romance! Kids will have a blast making this recipe and will glow with pride when they present you with their creation!

Serves: 4 Ingredients: 2 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 1/4 cups half-and-half, 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract, Pinch of salt, 4 fresh butter croissants, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/4 cup sliced almonds, Maple syrup or honey, Confectioner’s sugar (optional), Choice of fruit.

In a small pan, mix syrup or honey, 2 tablespoons of butter, almonds and almond extract. Heat for 5 minutes while mixing with a spoon. Remove croissants from oven and spread syrupalmond mix evenly; return to oven for 5 minutes. Serve warm accompanied by your choice of fruit.

Yep, it’s true, you can take your special Valentine on a date to see this mindblowing show with a stellar cast and crew. I am still blown away by the fact that ATI’s “Sweeney Todd” was like seeing an authentic Broadway production without actually being on Broadway.

by Don Farrell, Judy Collins and the entire company. The orchestra never missed a beat, and I loved the set, which included a fancy red barber’s chair and a piping hot stove perfect for baking delicious meat pies. Every time I attend a performance at ATI, I am reminded that we are blessed to have such an incredible professional theatre company right here in Carmel. I have seen many theatrical productions all over the world. ATI’s “Sweeney Todd” is brilliant and not to be missed. Bravo to my pals at Actors Theatre of Indiana - “Sweeney Todd” has set the bar high. Grab your friends, and make an appointment with Mr. Sweeney Todd for a shave if you dare.

Who can resist a simple but incredible delicious chocolate treat? Chocolate pudding with strawberries is the perfect gift from your kitchen to your loved ones this Valentine’s Day! I cannot remember who said, “Sometimes the best dishes are the simplest,” but it is certainly true with this.

Note: Did you know that the word “chocolate” comes from the Aztec word “xocoatl,” the bitter drink made from cacao by the Aztecs and Mayans?

Serves: 4 Ingredients: 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons

cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 cups whole milk, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 pint strawberries Direction: In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt. Add milk, whisking to combine, set pan over medium heat. Bring to boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, and cook until pudding thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir butter and vanilla.

Ladle pudding into four small bowls and let cool. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Mardi Gras Gala set for Feb. 20

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com There will be more than a little touch of New Orleans at Carmel’s Woodland Country Club Feb. 20. social scene The Actors Theatre of Indiana Guild will host its Mardi Gras Gala from 6 to 11 p.m.

Susan Bonanno, president of ATI Guild, said they came up with the theme of a Mardi Gras party last year when they decided to do something more fun than just dressing up for a formal gala.

“The year before, my husband and I had been in New Orleans during Mardi Gras,” Bonanno said. “We were in the parade and threw beads.”

Bonanno said it’s a very casual event.

“You can wear jeans or fun shirts,” Bonanno said. “People come dressed with masks.”

The ATI Guild members decorate the room with a Mardi Gras theme. There will be complimentary Hurricanes and hors d’oeuvres for the first hour, followed by a sit-down dinner and dancing. The Tim Brickley Quintet will provide the music. The ATI founders, Don Farrell, Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins, will sing at least one song, perhaps more, Bonanno said.

There will be a wine pull, beer raffle, games and a silent auction. All proceeds from the

fundraiser go to ATI. The other Guild members are Maryjo Alonso, Charlene Arnott, Sarah Clark, Therese Coffey, Janet Daniels, Tricia Hackett, Deb Hermiller, Donna Jacobi, Natalie Manges, Lisa Meyers, Sally Myers, Leslie Oleck, Sue Pearson, Becky Pritchett and Susan Wiland.

Bonanno said all the Guild members devote months to make sure decorations are set for the event.

Tickets for the party are $100 each. Tables of 10 for $1,000 and tables of eight for $800 are available. Current Publishing serves as a media sponsor of the event. For reservations, visit atistage.org.

Elite Beverages opens

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Between the four of them, owners Adam and Ray Cox and Gary and Randy Zion, operate 10 liquor stores in central new biz Indiana.

But opening a store in Noblesville is something they say they’ve wanted to do for some time.

“After hours of extensive research, we thought that the demographics called for a location right here,” Ray said. “We’ve been wanting to come here for several years, and now we’ve finally got it done.”

The business opened to the public Dec. 14, but its grand opening Jan. 9 drew crowds from all over central Indiana for a celebration with multiple local vendors.

“We offer a complete line of everything from craft beer to fine wine and high-end spirits, high-end scotches, bourbons, allocated products,” Ray said.

The owners suggest that the best way to see when the store is selling allocated products is to follow Elite Beverages on Facebook, or sign up for the bourbon list in store. “We will email you when items become available,”

The store’s beer cave offers its guests a room of hundreds of varieties of beer.

Pam Melton, Indianapolis, and Kim Baker, Fishers, enjoy wine samples at the grand opening.

Ray said.

The store at 15887 Cumberland Rd., Noblesville, is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and on weekends from 10 a.m. to midnight.

Dispatches Tourism improves – The introduction of the Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield in 2014 and a continued strong weekday business market pushed the local overall economic impact of tourism up 4.8 percent between 2013-2014, Hamilton County Tourism officials said recently.

The annual study from the Indiana Office of Tourism Development showed direct visitor spending grew to nearly $389 million. The local tourism economy contributes more than $90 million to state and local taxes.

Hamilton Co. joins JDAI – Thirteen counties will join Indiana’s Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative this year. JDAI aims to improve outcomes for children in the justice system while ensuring public safety. JDAI and other juvenile reforms have allowed the Dept. of Correction to save more than $15 million annually, and re-arrest rates have declined from 25 percent to 10 percent in JDAI counties.

Home advances for technology Commentary by David Decker Technology is moving faster than ever and we’re seeing huge advances in the abilities of our phones, our home enterinteriors tainment systems, and our vehicles. But did you know that tech is even taking over the kitchen?

Advances in technology have made life in your kitchen easier than ever. Check out some of our favorite ways technology is improving home kitchens.

Charging Stations The place where once you may have had a message station for your home phone has now become a place to charge and store your smart devices. Built-in USB ports allow you to maximize your charging potential while minimizing the number of outlets needed. This is an easy way to keep an eye on all the devices in the house and make sure their batteries are full.

Sensor-Activated Lighting Is there someone in your home who is always forgetting to turn off the lights? Automated lighting can help solve that problem.

Sensors can turn the lights on when they detect motion in the kitchen, and if there’s no motion for a set period of time, they will the

turn lights off. Lights can also be programmed to turn on and off at specific times, and can be controlled by your smart phone. This is a great innovation for families with lots of kids, or anyone who wants to save money on their utility bills.

Dispatches Cold-season veggies – A good variety of crops actually grow best during the cooler months. If you aren’t quite ready to give up your fresh produce each year, try planting cold-season veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, peas, and Brussels sprouts. Collards, mustard greens, spinach, kale, mâche, and many kinds of lettuce also prefer cooler temperatures. Root veggies like turnips, beets, radishes, rutabagas, and baby carrots are more options for the cold-weather garden.

meat, the less you have to touch the better.

Hands-free faucets are perfect for the busy cook and they can cut down on the spread of bacteria through your kitchen. They are also great for youngsters who want to fill their own cup but can’t quite reach the handle.

Self-Diagnosing Appliances Wouldn’t it be great to know there was something wrong with your refrigerator before it stopped working? Today’s selfdiagnosing appliances can do just that. If your equipment needs servicing, it will send an email, letting you know it’s time to call a technician. What a great way to save money and prevent hassles!

Are you ready to bring your kitchen into the 21st century? Contact The Affordable Companies. We can help you find the innovations that make the most sense for your lifestyle.

You can start 2016 with a kitchen that is as tech-savvy as it is beautiful!
