We could get some runs on him, but just couldn’t get a way by. We had a shot coming to the line, but he kinda shut the door there. It’s a great way for us to start the season, though,” Clauson said.

Carl Brizzi talks Charlie White verdict, next steps

By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com

A guilty verdict on six of seven felony counts against Charlie White has left the office of the Indiana Secretary of State in flux, and many speculating as to what twists may yet come in an already long, convoluted case.

In the wake of the verdict, Current spoke with White’s White criminal defense attorney, Carl Brizzi, to get his reaction and find out what comes next.

Is there a next step at this point? Where do you, does Charlie, go from here?

Brizzi: “What’s next is … we’ve got a sentencing hearBrizzi ing coming up in a couple of weeks (Feb. 23). The verdict is the verdict, and so now we’ve got to mitigate the consequences of the verdict.

We’re definitely going to appeal. We think there were very appealable issues in this trial, so I don’t think it’s speculation to be saying he’s pursuing an appeal.”

People still seem to be throwing around the possibility Charlie could be reinstated if all six felony counts were reduced to misdemeanors. Is that something you’re even aiming for at this point, or have you shifted into damage control mode?

Brizzi: “We’re definitely in damage control mode. Whether he’s reinstated as secretary of state is not something I’m focused on. He has other attorneys focused on the civil aspect of this.

What people have to bear in mind is, he was literally charged with four different felonies for casting one vote. I’m not really sure if that’s been reported. I mean … four felonies for one vote seems a bit extreme.”

You made the decision not to offer a defense at the trial, saying the prosecution didn’t have enough evidence to prove there was a crime committed. Do you still feel that was the right move?

Brizzi: “What do you want me to do? You can’t go back and second-guess any of the decisions made during the trial. No one except for me, Charlie and the people closest to him know what that evidence is and the potential for it to not be favorable. I lived this case for months and months and months and months, and we made the decisions we made. We’re never going to be able to explain to anyone with any satisfaction why those decisions were made.”

THE FACTS

#1 FITNESS CLUB IN NOBLESVILLE

At 2:30 a.m. Feb. 5, a Hamilton County jury returned its verdict: guilty on three counts of voter fraud, two counts of perjury and one count of theft. White was acquitted on a charge of fraud against a financial institution.

He could face six months to three years in prison for each count.

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels moved quickly to appoint an interim replacement for White, selecting Jerry Bonnet, chief deputy for the Secretary of State.

“This is an exceptionally busy time in the Secretary of State’s office as signatures for president, U.S. senate and governor are being certified this month,” Daniels said in a press release. “Jerry, a Yorktown native, has agreed to serve until I either select someone else to serve the remainder of the term, or until the prior occupant is reinstated.”

White is expected to appeal for the charges, all class-D felonies, to be reduced to misdemeanors.

“I have chosen not to make a permanent appointment today out of respect for the judge’s authority to lessen the verdict to a misdemeanor and reinstate the elected office holder,” Daniels said. “If the felony convictions are not altered, I anticipate making a permanent appointment quickly.”

Daniels added, “Jerry Bonnet is a longtime employee who absolutely knows what should be done to provide the effective supervision and oversight the office requires.”

A copy of the appointment letter may be found at www.in.gov/gov/files/Press /020412letter.pdf. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Did the verdict come as a surprise?

Brizzi: “I don’t even know how to answer that. I’m not here to take issue with what the jury did, because each of us has a role in the criminal justice system. To put it in context, and certainly to put it in context of moving forward and how this affects a fellow Hoosier’s life who has a family and children to provide for, I think that needs to be taken into account.”

Charlie could face up to 18 years for a maximum sentence. Do you expect him to see any jail time?

Brizzi: “Can he potentially face jail time? Yes, absolutely. Do I expect it? I don’t expect or not expect anything at this point. I certainly don’t take anything for granted.”

Farias questions Santorum’s ballot status – Reynaldo M. Farias of Noblesville was one of four Indiana voters who decided to challenge Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s status for the state’s primary on Feb. 13. Farias and the other voters claim Santorum fell eight signatures short of the 500 required from one of Indiana’s nine congressional districts when he filed his candidacy papers. While Santorum’s campaign claims it submitted more signatures than needed, election officials ruled he only collected 492 valid signatures from the Seventh Congressional District, an area including most of Marion County and the city of Indianapolis. The Election Commission will convene hearings soon to determine whether Santorum met the requirements for placing his name in contention for the 27 “pledged” Grand Old Party delegates to be awarded May 8.

City Government Noblesville Common Council

COMMUNITY

RESIST CONFORMITY. True luxury has never been created by following someone else’s rules.

It’s created by pushing the boundaries that nobody else is willing to push.

This is how we approach every vehicle we build. This is the Infiniti G Sedan.

Action: Increase speed limit on Olio Road from Tegler Drive/141st Street to 156th Street.

What it means: The speed limit on that portion of Olio Road would increase from 35 mph to 45 mph. A speed study showed 85 percent of motorists travel at that speed, according to City Engineer John Beery.

What’s next: Feb. 14 was the first reading of the ordinance. The common council will have its second reading and vote on the ordinance at the Feb. 28 meeting.

Action: City to vacate right of way along old Brooks School Road.

What it means: Brooks School Road, between Greenfield Avenue and 136th Street, was abandoned and removed in 2007.

With no foreseeable public purpose, the city is looking to vacate certain parcels of right-of-way land to adjacent landowners.

What’s next: A public hearing will take place on March 13 at City Hall.

Action: An ordinance to allow golf cart access on roadways was voted down by the council.

What it meant: The proposed ordinance would have allowed personal golf carts with slowmoving vehicle stickers to drive on roadways with 25 mph or less speed limits. However, the potential traffic accidents, registration and tag fees and necessary safety features for nighttime driving made the ordinance unworkable.

What happened: Council President Greg O’Connor said talking with Noblesville Police Chief Kevin Jowitt about the safety aspect led to the council’s decisions. “We’re not a golf course community. We have golf course neighborhoods,” O’Connor said. “It was one of those times where ‘the government that governs least, governs best.’”

Green named NAHL Star of the Week editorial@youarecurrent.com

Noblesville native Tyler Green, goaltender for the St. Louis Bandits, was named by the North American Hockey League as one of the Three Stars of the Week, presented by Combat Hockey for the week ending Feb. 12, 2012. The Three Stars of the Week is a weekly feature during the 2011-12 regular season that honors the top performing players each week of the regular season, as nominated by their respective teams.

Green, 20, began last weekend by posting a 19-save shutout in a hard-fought 1-0 win over the first place Janesville Jets, which included denying the Jets on four power plays. He got the start the next night and promptly responded with another great performance against the division leaders by making 16 saves in a 4-2 win.

For the weekend, Green stopped 35 of 37 shots, good for a 94.6 save percentage and a goalsagainst average of 1 against the Midwest Division’s first place team. Since arriving in St. Louis in a trade with Wichita Falls, Green has posted a 7-2-0 record with a 1.92 goals-against average,

State Legislation

The second half of the General Assembly Commentary by Kathy Richardson

We are officially in the second half of the 2012 legislative session. At this point, all bills have switched chambers. There were 397 House bills filed, and 108 of them are now eligible for discussion in the Senate. The Senate sent us 140 bills to begin discussing and the Governor has signed two bills.

The issues covered in the bills were as diverse in subject as they were in controversy. Many bills, though, passed with unanimous support, and one of those bills was House Bill 1059, which provides aid to military families that need some extra help when returning from duty. A primarily self-funded Military Relief Family Fund was created in 2007, through the sale of “Support Our Troops” license plates.

Qualified service families are eligible to apply for the grants that can be used to pay essential family expenses. This bill extends from one year to three years, the time a military service family may be eligible to receive assistance from this fund.

Another bill passed with very strong support was House Bill 1376. This legislation provides more money to the victims of the State Fair stage collapse by doubling the amount of compensation available to those victims from $5 to $10 million. The bill also doubles the per student grant for full-day kindergarten by providing an additional $80 million in funding.

In addition, the legislation strengthens Indiana’s refund system by prioritizing refunds and ensuring they are distributed fairly, because projections indicate 4 million Hoosiers could receive a refund of at least $50 when they file their 2012 tax returns next spring.

One issue controversial for many years is whether to enact a statewide smoking ban. The debate typically centers on the private property right of businesses, and whether certain businesses should be exempt versus the health benefits to be gained for employees and patrons of those businesses.

In the House-passed version, the following entities were exempt: casinos, racinos, racetracks, off-track betting locations, cigar manufacturing facilities, fraternal clubs, cigar and hookah bars. A key difference in this year’s bill is bars and taverns are exempt until Sept. 15, 2013. After that date, though, they will all be non-smoking establishments. In the past, a bill to enact a statewide smoking ban has not made it out of the Senate, so we will have to see the course this legislation will take this year.

I will be sure to keep you up-to-date on bills as we move through the second half of the legislative session.

Kathy Richardson (R-Noblesville) is the state representative for District 29.

Cherish Center honors partners

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

After a year and a half in existence, the Cherish Center honored partners from the community that helped the child and family advocacy group grow from its humble beginning with successful teamwork.

“The honors event comes as a result of three years of collaboration and partnering to promote the coordinated efforts to address issues of child abuse and neglect cases,” said Doug Carter, former Hamilton County sheriff who helped form the organization.

“I never imagined the journey would come in such a short period of time,” added Cherish Center Executive Director Wendy Rayburn.

“We want to recognize the leaders who have been part of making this happen."

Eight excellence awards were presented to Riverview Hospital, Union Savings Bank, the Noblesville Police Dept., Prevail Inc., Dept. of Family and Children’s Services agents Michelle Burns and Christi Tucker, Deborah Keaton and Dan Claassen of MyCyberGuardian.

Riverview Hospital provided Cherish Center with its location behind the county hospital, 493 Westfield Rd., Suite C, Noblesville.

“We were in awe Riverview said it wanted to be a part in doing something in the county. It’s amazing what Riverview chose to do,” Rayburn said.

Union Savings Bank’s Don Allen helped procure recording and video equipment, TVs and furniture for the center.

“That was our first lesson in learning people wanted to help,” Rayburn said. www.youarecurrent.com

Police Chief Kevin Jowitt accepted the award on behalf of the NPD. Its officers conducted the first interview at the center when “the paint was still wet on the walls.” Thirty-four percent of the cases brought to Cherish Center are from the NPD. “They’ve been here from day one,” explained Rayburn. “Noblesville has been one of the agencies that we feel at home when they are here.”

Rayburn said Brittany Winebar of Prevail Inc. has been an excellent servant leader with Cherish. No matter the time – 1 or 3 a.m. – Winebar answers the center’s call for assistance.

“Every weekend, we call Brittany. She does anything and everything for those kids,” Rayburn said.

Scouts participate in annual Winter Camporee

By Charlie Cummings • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Noblesville Boy Scout Troop 101 participated in the district Winter Camporee Jan. 27 to 29 at Camp Kikthawenund. It was called the Super Bowl of Scouting due to Indianapolis hosting the Super Bowl this year.

Scouts from Troop 101 and other troops in the Del-Mi District braved cold weather and

snow to participate in football-themed scouting events, such as Last Second Kick, where Scouts competed for the fastest time at lashing together a field goal and kicking a football between the posts, and On the Field First Aid, where Scouts had to diagnose an injury and treat it correctly. Several Troop 101 patrols won awards for some of the stations.

TV offers second great family history series Genealogy by Darla Kinney Scoles

While browsing my TV Guide one day, I spotted a show on BYUtv, “The Generations Project.” Naturally, I was drawn to the information available on the offering, and found it read: “What secrets run in your blood? This reality series uncovers the hidden identities in family pasts, proving that the best way to know who you are is to know who you came from.”

How could I resist? Done much in the same style as NBC’s “Who Do You Think You Are,” the series features one individual per show, highlighting his or her research into the lives of ancestors. Unlike the NBC series, however, these individuals are not celebrities. They are, in fact, flawed individuals looking for answers to their issues in the histories of those whose DNA is part of their makeup today.

The episodes I’ve viewed so far included a Hurricane Katrina survivor with race and anger issues, an overwhelmed wife and caregiver who lived in fear each day, a success-driven father who desired to set aside his self-absorption and give more to his wife and children, a young mother whose perfectionist ways held her back and a young man seeking closure after the death of his beloved brother.

It is amazingly interesting to watch these people change as they progress through the five-step process the project entails. The lessons they learn are certainly applicable to the viewing www.youarecurrent.com

Cover Story

The Hamilton County Alliance will run out of money this year, unless the county steps in to help

Fishers – “What we need for Hamilton County is to tell other places that we’re different from the rest of the state,” said Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness on the opportunity for the HCA to reach beyond the town’s own economic development capacity. “We’re looking for different industries, not heavy manufacturing jobs like the rest of the state.

We need someone down at the statehouse pushing for legislation for Hamilton County. And that’s what we haven’t seen yet.”

Carmel – “The Hamilton County Alliance provides a valuable service to Carmel and Hamilton County and we save money by having one office serve the entire county,” said Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard. “I have reviewed the Alliance’s financial position with Jeff Burt and will be recommending that we carefully monitor it as we prepare the city’s budget for 2013.”

OTHER VIEWS

By Jordan Fischer, Robert Herrington and Kevin Kane editorial@youarecurrent.com

Since the housing market crash of 2008, an annual $120,000 deficit in the Hamilton County Alliance’s budget has been supported by a “rainy day” fund.

By the end of the year, those funds are projected to run out – potentially meaning insolvency for the countywide economic development organization. HCA President Jeff Burt and Chairman Ron Brumbarger are asking the county, and the cities and towns therein, to prevent that.

Formed in 1992 as a public-private partnership, the HCA is the “only body in Hamilton County tasked by charter to promote economic vitality,” according to Brumbarger. The public portion of the organization’s $550,000 annual budget comes from a $50 Economic Development Support Fee dedicated to the HCA for every plat approved in the county, and from additional grants to the HCA from each of the eight communities in the county: Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Sheridan, Arcadia, Atlanta and Cicero.

Although the HCA’s Web site bills itself as funded by 39 percent public, 61 percent private dollars, Burt said private dollars now make up only 25 percent of the annual budget. Between 19942008, the EDSF averaged $150,000 in revenue for the HCA. Since 2008, Burt said that number has decreased to $38,000 to $40,000 annually in response to the housing market slump. The HCA is asking for an additional $105,000 this year – half from the county and half from the founding communities of Fishers, Carmel, Sheridan, Noblesville and Westfield – to make up the deficit.

“We’ve pared back the budget as hard as possible,” Brumbarger said. “We’ve done all the things you’d expect a good steward of public money to do. We’ve really cut back as much as we legally and professionally and ethically can.”

The additional $105,000 the alliance is now asking from the county would shore it up for the remainder of this year. Both Burt and Brumbarger admit, however, it would only be a stopgap measure.

“Could we cut another $105,000?” said Burt. “Sure, I think we could. But we’ve got to provide a service to the community for their support. You’re talking about cutting the muscle at that point.”

In its 20 years of existence, HCA has assisted 292 businesses, had 12,546 job commitments, awarded 385 grants for $15,862,755, generated $10,158,719 in estimated property tax support and provided Hamilton County with $996,968,196 in total capital investment.

At the town of Fishers, though officials have significant concerns, they ultimately seemed to decide they weren’t quite ready to let the organization fall by the wayside, especially amidst fears the Indy Partnership, the organization tasked with economic development for the nine “donut counties” around Indianapolis, may cease to exist or see a reduced role as part of a merger with another development organization.

“The Indy Partnership and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation have been the biggest source of (business) leads over the past few years,” said Town Council President Scott Faultless.

“If the Indy Partnership is going away, that’s the biggest threat to 10 | February 21, 2012

me. And that’s your biggest selling point. We need someone who is selling the region – specifically Hamilton County.”

Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and Economic Development Dept. Director Judi Johnson are also concerned about the future of the Indy Partnership – saying counties will need to step up their own attraction marketing.

“Where do we fit in (if the partnership moves under the Indiana Chamber of Commerce or is dropped for budget issues)?” said Ditslear. “All the more reason we need the Alliance in Hamilton County. It’s a value to us locally.”

“Regionally, I don’t think we can cut ourselves off,” Johnson added.

Ditslear Johnson, who serves on the HCA Board as the Noblesville representative, said having a regional economic development organization is unique in Indiana.

“We have four vibrant, growing, fiscally welloff cities in Hamilton County who all have excellent economic development departments,” she said. “We have to have an organization that brings everyone on the team together.”

Johnson Potential economic development projects are received at the state level first, then filter down to regions which alert individual communities.

“If we don’t have the Alliance, who do we have that recom-

mends the out-of-state and global inquiries?” Johnson said. “We come together and work together on a regional basis. The Alliance is a conduit for each community to reach the state level.”

Johnson said the new Alliance marketing plan is “Smart People. Smart Business.” Through community meetings and HCA Board discussions, the new HCA is centered on four strategic issues: marketing, technology applications to economic development, community/county competitiveness and HCA as a “regional” economic development group.

“Risk needs to be minimized,” said Johnson. “Our mission to promote the county’s economic health remains the same, but its strategic activities are changing.”

Of all the municipalities, Noblesville receives the lowest return on investment – $4.01 for every $1 spent. Ditslear said the Alliance is another tool at the disposal of the city’s businesses and its economic development department.

“We think a lot of the Alliance. It’s done a great job for the city of Noblesville,” he said, adding the city spends $25,000 annually on Alliance fees. “We’re pleased with them and think they are necessary.

From 1998 to 2011, Noblesville has received $3.6 million in grants and had 969 new hires with the assistance from the HCA. Ditslear said the city doesn’t expect the Alliance to recommend Noblesville to a business because they represent the county.

“They are extremely fair and equal. It’s not always landing projects, its getting our name out there with projects and what we have to offer,” he said. “We’ll hold our own versus Carmel and Fishers.

Editorial Here and there, it’s about accountability

Creationism It is our position Senate Bill 89, allowing creationism to be taught alongside evolution in public schools, is a waste of taxpayer money. In the past, several states have attempted to pass legislation requiring the teaching of religious creationism in science classes. The Supreme Court already ruled on this very issue in 1987. The bill’s sponsor, Dennis Kruse, has acknowledged the bill may be problematic, but in his arrogance, he is confident the Supreme Court will reverse itself. If Indiana is forced to challenge this backward-thinking legislation through various appeals and federal courts, it could cost the taxpayers millions of dollars.

What is the real purpose of this bill? Perhaps it is a sincere – if misguided – effort to treat Biblical religion as if it were science.

Perhaps it is a smoke screen for Mr. Kruse’s next reelection campaign, so he can say to the voters, “Well, I tried!” Whatever his motives, we urge the House to reject this bill, and if they do not, then we strongly recommend Gov. Mitch Daniels veto it. If Indiana parents want their children to be taught creationism, we suggest they take advantage of the taxpayer-funded voucher system and send them to parochial school.

Network solutions Commentary by Terry Anker

Sometimes it seems like Greta Garbo may have had it right when she said, “I want to be alone.” But that feeling seldom lasts long, and we miss the company of friends and family.

Even Garbo adjusted her most famous utterance to, “I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be left alone.’ There is all the difference.” She had a point. As much as we need each other, don’t we also crave a little space? If the paradox of social interaction is the ultimate fixture of the human condition, then networking is its calling card.

Encarta defines it in two ways: 1. the act of linking computers so that they can share info or access a central hub; and 2. the process or practice of building up or maintaining informal relationships that can lead to job or business advantage. Somehow, the first definition makes more sense to me than the later. When we interconnect to build our communities, our

knowledge or our interconnectedness, how can it be a bad thing? Yet, when we use the network for only our own advantage, doesn’t the network ultimately only become folks looking for a hand and no one offering to give one? If we constantly harvest and never plant, how long will we eat?

Why don’t we say good things about good people, whether it’s a direct benefit to us or not? Folks should know if Mike is a solid dude (or not). Recently, I told Frank that Mike was top shelf. Frank left the room only to return moments later. He said, “Actually, I know Mike – we had lunch last week and he said good things about you, too.” Now there is a network that exchanges even as it harvests.

It was so easy, and it meant so much.

(Steve has given Brian the day off this week. It’s a reward for his covering for Steve, who was out of the office last week … with good reason.)

We have talked in this space about accountability being our watchword for 2012. I’ve been living it these last 25 years, and I certainly saw examples last week that mirror what we encounter in our community. Let me explain: First, my bride and I spent seven days in Key West celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary.

Yes, a good time was had by all and refreshments were served. For those who know me by my rapier-like wit, I’m not always that way.

Sometimes I reflect, and those reflections give rise to the aforementioned parallels. And so, what Sally and I have experienced in a quarter century actually, in part, is about accountability.

That through-thick-and-thin stuff is real, folks, and (wait for it … here comes the parallel) in Key West, it was evident in the civil-service sector. The southernmost city proved itself to be a model of organization and accountability.

Folks descend on the city to get away from the humdrum, and some of them, shall we say, overly enjoy themselves. But, as is the case here, local government workers do their thing in Key West to keep everything sparkling. Sidewalks are power-washed each morning, trash cans – seemingly one every 3 feet – are emptied before the sun comes up, and you won’t find so much as a stray gum wrapper on the streets. Funny, isn’t it, that cleanliness in paradise reminded us of home? Hamilton County is a shining example (in most areas) of cleanliness. As other visitors to Key West marveled at “how clean this is,” we proudly told them, “That’s how it is back home.” We’re quick to rip government for inefficiency, but we have zero beefs when it comes to keeping the place we call home in good shape.

Laughs

To call or not to call

Humor by Danielle Wilson

Life’s about to get interesting when a conversations starts with, “I debated whether or not to call you, but figured if I had kids, I’d want to know.” This was how a phone call began the other night, and as soon as I heard those words, my heart sank. Ugh. What the hoo-hah did my child do now?

As parents, we’ve probably all been in this situation, either as the bearer or the receiver of the bad news. I recently overheard one of my kids’ friends direct two F-bombs at my 10-yearold son while they were playing Xbox in our basement (we had not yet installed my superawesome sound barrier birthday door), and, to put it simply, Momma don’t play that. I politely sent the young man home, but wavered over whether I should call the mother. In the end, I decided it wasn’t that big of deal and gave him a reprieve. He had, after all, looked sufficiently embarrassed when he apologized.

So, I recognize when a parent feels strongly enough to actually pick up the phone and rat; my child probably deserves it. But that doesn’t make the accusations any easier to hear. With this latest incident, my stomach immediately turned upside down as I prepared for the onslaught of alleged crimes, which amounted to my son being very disrespectful to the instructor of an extracurricular class.

Winter wonderland … or not

I certainly did not enjoy the phone call – no parent wants to hear their kid is behaving like an ass – but in all honesty, I did appreciate it.

My husband and I cannot be, nor want to be, with our children 24/7, and like all kids, they’re going to make mistakes. But it’s far better they get caught and punished for the small stuff now while they’re still malleable, rather than have their misdeeds ignored until they’ve become adult dillholes firmly ensconced in their dillhole ways.

And there is a saving grace to receiving one of these uncomfortable calls: You get to legitimately channel all of your disappointment and embarrassment into creating the perfect punishment. Because when the shameful tears fall, as they inevitably do, we know we’ve done our job as parents.

In summary, if you catch a kid doing something wrong and feel the parent should (or would want to) know, go ahead and narc.

They’ll thank you for it later. If you’re the one with the brat child, take consolation in the fact confiscating a cell phone can bring considerable joy. Peace out.

Humor by Mike Redmond

So far, I have not been too impressed by the weather this winter.

Actually, it’s kind of difficult even to call it winter. Winter, to me, means subzero days, rock ice, snowdrifts, blizzards – none of which have made an appearance as of yet. At the best, we’re having either an extended late fall or an extra early spring. Or maybe it’s a new season, a combination of the two: Call it fang.

Or sprall.

Anyway, I don’t like it.

I like my seasons seasonal. I like them clear and distinct. I want hot summers, warm springs, cool falls and cold winters. I want to see and feel the changes as they happen.

Oh, we’ve had the occasional spritzes and sprinkles, a few extra cold days, but nothing people are going to remember. And what’s the fun in that? Half the point of having winter storms is so you can talk about them at family reunions 20 years down the road. Winter is supposed to supply us with great material with which to lie to our children.

But this is not to be this year. At least, not yet. The reason, I have learned, is something called arctic oscillation, which affects the pattern of the jet stream. In essence, it has been all whopper-jawed this year, zooming around the earth in a weird pattern that keeps us

warm while throwing the other side of the world in the deep freeze, which is why my daffodils are already blooming, while over in Europe, they’ve been digging out of 6-foot drifts.

Now, I am sure there are lots of people who think I am crazy. In fact, I recently had a chat with such a person, a high school classmate who moved to Florida for one reason only: to get away from winter. He told me he had to look at the calendar to know what season it is.

And he said this as if it were a good thing.

In fact, it’s dangerous to your mental health. As proof, we need only to watch a few episodes of “The Jerry Springer Show,” with all those nutbars parading their lunacy across the stage. You know where most of them come from? Florida.

No thanks. If we must have drama, I’ll take the kind that comes from a weather event, specifically a blizzard. Or I would take that kind, if this winter would produce one.

Then again, it’s only February. We still have plenty of season left. In the meantime, enjoy the sprall.

Noblesville Schools receives report of student with measles editorial@youarecurrent.com

Noblesville Schools announced Feb. 13 they have received a report of a student with a possible case of measles. Since that time health officials have confirmed 13 reported cases of measles in Boone and Hamilton counties – including additional exposure at White River Elementary School. The outbreak follows an infected individual’s visit to The Huddle in the Super Bowl Village Feb. 3.

On Feb. 15, the district canceled all evening activities as a continued precaution to help prevent the spread of measles.

Measles is a very contagious illness, more specifically, a respiratory disease caused by a virus. Symptoms usually begin approximately eight to 12 days after someone is exposed. Symptoms include a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. Days later, a rash can begin forming on the face and upper neck and spread to other areas of the body.

“Noblesville Schools have received information that a student at Noblesville Intermediate School meets the Indiana State Dept. of Health’s case definition for having the measles. At this time, the case has not been confirmed by a physician, but the parent has reported that the child has exhibited symptoms of the disease,” the district announced via a press release.

School officials said the child is not in school and may not return until they meet guidelines established by the Indiana State Dept. of Health and Noblesville Schools.

“We have been in close contact with the affected family, the Hamilton County Health Dept., and the Indiana State Dept. of Health to ensure the safety of all Noblesville students.

All areas of the school have been thoroughly cleaned to help prevent the spread of the virus,” the release stated.

According to the Indiana State Dept. of Health, anyone who has not received two doses of measles-containing vaccine (usually the mumps-measles-rubella vaccine) is at risk for measles; those who have been vaccinated for Love your Heart – Throughout the month of February, Riverview will be offering a $99 Love your Heart comprehensive screening. The package includes a CT calcium heart scan, baseline electrocardiogram, vascular screening (peripheral artery disease, carotid and abdominal aortic aneurysm), consultation with a cardiac nurse and a coupon for a $15 blood chemistry profile.

Those having a comprehensive screening are asked to fast 12 hours prior to your appointment.

To schedule a screening, call 776-7247. www.youarecurrent.com

BEEN EXPOSED? The Indiana State Health Department says individuals may have been exposed to measles at the following places and dates: • Noblesville Intermediate School (Feb. 9) and White River Elementary School (Feb. 13) • Kroger, W. Logan St., Noblesville (Feb. 10) • Walmart, Clover Rd., Noblesville (Feb. 10) • Hartley Funeral Home, Cicero (Jan. 25 and 26) • Ivy Tech Community College, Anderson Campus (Jan. 26 and 31, and Feb. 2) • A number of health care clinics in Zionsville, Fishers, and Noblesville, (multiple dates in Jan. and Feb.) including: Saint Vincent Primary Care clinics, IU Primary Care clinics, and a Community Hospital Immediate Care Center. measles are unlikely to acquire the illness.

“Measles begins with a fever, cough, runny nose, and red eyes about seven to10 days after exposure. The fever increases and can get as high as 105 degrees. Two to four days later, a rash starts on the face and upper neck. It spreads down the back and trunk, and then extends to the arms and hands, as well as the legs and feet. After about five days, the rash fades the same order in which it appeared,” explained the state health department “If your child exhibits symptoms of measles, please contact your family physician immediately and do not send your child to school. Your physician can determine whether the symptoms are caused by measles.”

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent transmission, according to the state health deptartment.

“Currently, 98 percent of Noblesville students from preschool through high school are immunized,” the district announced. “Noblesville Schools will be contacting the parents of each student that our records indicate has not received the measles vaccinations to discuss receiv-

time in Prevail’s Bowl-a-Thon history, onethird of the teams will come from the city of Noblesville, one-third from Hamilton County government and one-third of the lanes will be devoted to corporate teams. Winning teams included Adesa (corporate), the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office (county) and the Noblesville Police Dept. (city).

Watch out for Lenovo – One day very, very soon, the biggest personal-computer producer in the world may be a scrappy, Beijing-based company named Lenovo (ticker: 0992.

HongKong). Last year, thanks to swift growth in China, Lenovo vaulted past Dell to the No. 2 position, and is now within sight of leader Hewlett-Packard.

Lenovo sells one in three PCs in China, and has 14 percent of the market worldwide. That market share is growing. This year, Lenovo expects its PC shipments to grow two to three times faster than the global market, which the company forecasts will increase 3 percent to 5 percent. The company also makes tablets and smartphones. But more than 90 percent of the company's estimated $28.3 billion in revenue this year is expected to come from PCs. Lenovo's fiscal year ends in March.

Target’s ‘unique’ way of raising prices – Target’s plan to stock more “unique” items that can’t be found elsewhere could have a not-so-special impact on consumers, say analysts: higher prices. The Minneapolisbased store says the move is aimed at preventing customers from “showrooming,” checking the price of goods and then buying them elsewhere – often at a cheaper price from online retailers like Amazon.com. As part of the new initiative, Target also will test Apple displays in 25 of its stores that will have an assortment of products that can only be bought at Target. Experts say the extra time, money and resources spent developing exclusive product lines with partners typically means a bigger price tag for shoppers. Those higher prices may even spread to nonexclusive items, analysts say.

Removal of wall allows new kitchen configuration Remodeling by Larry Greene

Original kitchen: This home located in the Foster Grove subdivision on the east side of Carmel was built in the mid-1980s. The owners had been thinking about remodeling the home for approximately 10 years, trying to decide if they were going to stay in the house or move.

They ultimately decided they really liked their neighborhood and the improvements they already made to the exterior, so they chose to stay.

Kitchen design choices: When thinking about making changes to their kitchen, the owners were unsure if they wanted to keep the same footprint and make cosmetic upgrades, or go for a full-space remodel. The design team presented both options to them, and after seeing, for just slightly more money, they could greatly improve the overall flow, they opted for the reconfiguration option. The old kitchen was expanded, the old living room is the new dining room and the old dining room was used for kitchen expansion.

The homeowner commented, “Seeing the computer drawings – comparing keeping the same footprint to completely changing the kitchen – helped us decide which option to choose. The designer showed us how, for just a little more money, we could get a bigger bang for our buck.”

Final result: The homeowner is thrilled with the result and stated, “We are very happy we made the decision to go with the new configura-

Before tion. The old kitchen was small, and the new one has made our house completely different.

We now have room to entertain. The new design opened up the space, so now we have room to maneuver around, cook and entertain.

The kids like using the island for hanging out and snacks, so the new kitchen has brought the family back into the kitchen again. My favorite parts of the new kitchen are the expanded space, the newer appliances and the granite. The new lighting has made a big difference, too, adding a modern look and brightness.”

Good shade garden plant – Try the jack-in-the-pulpit in your shade garden. Its hooded, green flowers arise to reveal little Jack poking out against rusty red markings on the inside of the "pulpit." If you're lucky, the flowers will set bright red clusters of berries in the fall for an extra season of interest. Name: Arisaema triphyllum; growing conditions: shade and moist, well-drained soil; size: up to2 feet tall.
