While Jordan and his brother-in-law talk about someday opening a brewery or brewpub, Dan Gohr isn’t interested in selling his own beer again.

“Once you turn it into a business, Brian Jordan you don’t have fun anymore,” says Gohr, who does support local brew pubs like Noblesville’s Barley Island.

Instead making beer for profit, Gohr and Hurst are hankering to add a fermentation wing onto their beer shack.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that school boards must very carefully wield the immense power that they possess is the public discourse. Boards in Noblesville, Carmel and elsewhere are scrambling to avoid the cuts necessitated by the difficult economic conditions of 2009 and, it is projected, 2010, faced by all business and government entities. Under new powers granted by our legislature, the school executives are proposing referendum to increase taxes on homeowners directly to forestall the pain. In many cases, schools around the state are hiring consultants to help ensure the successful implementation of the tax increase.

We look forward to a robust discussion about the uses of these funds and others within the existing budget that might help offset the new tax. In addition to an effort to maintain the status quo, we should be considering alternatives to significantly cut expenses to create a more efficient mechanism to deliver public education. But like government officials and employees, board members, teachers and administrators must exercise great control to not use their public trust to self-interestedly advocate for or bully against honest, public discourse by and amongst those who pay their salaries.

Adjustable rate

It is our opinion that the recent warning from Moody’s Investment Services about the potential downgrade of the U.S. credit rating may be the most frightening economic indicator yet to face our new Congress and president. We hope it is a wake-up call to Washington and to each of us – without improved federal budget deficit management and positive indicators of economic growth, we risk loss of a the coveted AAA Government Bond Rating.

The White House 2010 deficit forecast of $1.565 billion represents 10.6 percent of our gross domestic product and is the highest ratio of debt to GDP since WWII – if Moody’s acts on its warning, like an increasing adjustable rate mortgage, we would pay more for the same and strain our wounded economy.

It is time for the president, Congress and American citizens to make the disciplined decisions and thoughtful sacrifices necessary to ensure our domestic and international economy and the U.S. dollar remain strong in the world’s markets. Each of us has the right (and the obligation) to make a commitment to voice an opinion to Washington leadership before the situation worsens. And we should make use of that right.

There’s more to ‘Footloose’ than footwork; it’s a matter of trust COMMENTARY

By Zach Dunkin When I first saw the movie “Footloose” in 1984 I dismissed it as a lightweight with a killer soundtrack and a dance showcase for 25-yearold newcomer Kevin Bacon. It was fun, but that’s all.

But after seeing director Doug Stark’s brilliant stage version recently at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, for some reason the story of broken relationships, narrow-mindedness, misguided anger, mistrust and, finally, forgiveness and understanding, resonated with me.

The story revolves around a rebellious teen, Ren McCormack, who is forced to move with his mother from Chicago to a backwoods town called Bomont because his father had deserted them. Ren (Bacon in the movie) is frustrated by a town ban on dancing, a ban set by the town’s preacher whose son and three other teens were killed in a car wreck. Rev. Shaw Moore, powerfully played by B & B veteran Eddie Curry, blames sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll for his son’s death.

Ren (Dominic Sheahan-Stahl at B & B) and the Rev wage a war, driven by anger and stubbornness. The fire is fanned even hotter when

the preacher’s bad-boy-lovin’ daughter Ariel (Erin P. West at B & B) falls for Ren. As it turns out the preacher and the punk have more in common than they realize, the biggest connection being the absence of a family member – for Moore, his son, and for Ren, his father. During Curry’s heart-wrenching soliloquy near the show’s end, the reverend realizes the young people of his town, especially his own daughter, had been deprived of certain teen freedoms because of his anger and mistrust. He lifts the ban.

“If we do not learn how to trust our children,” he tells the townsfolk. “How will they ever become trust-worthy?”

How did I miss that in 1984? Perhaps, because I hadn’t raised a teenager yet.

Regardless of whether you have kids, think about that one for awhile. And do yourself a favor and check out one of the best shows I’ve seen in years at Beef & Boards.

From the backshop Tax tanning salons? Give us a break!

We believe you’ve heard about a U.S. Senate plan to tax tanning salons 10 percent for services in an effort to help fund health care.

Consider that such an imposition would most certainly result in layoffs. When taxes come, expenses have to go; in most cases, that means jobs. Health-care officials and advocates say the tax will cut down on skin cancer occurrences.

While that may be true, it’s known that “artificial tanning” also is of immense help in treating skin conditions. The bottom line is this: In order for this insanity to be propagated, it needs to pass the Senate AND the House. Most believe that won’t happen. We hope it doesn’t.

••• Is the global warming effort falling apart?

According to The Associated Press, top U.N. climate change official Yvo de Boer announced he was resigning after nearly four years, a period when governments struggled without success to agree on a new global warming deal. His resignation comes in the wake of the Climate-gate scandal, which started with the leak of stolen emails from top climate scientists that revealed sloppy science, the suppression of dissenting opinions and, therefore, flaws in the U.N’s top

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg climate policy document. Although more research needs to be conducted, we continue to believe the global warming movement deserves a healthy dose of skepticism.

••• CLARIFICATION: Last week, we came out against a tax for regional mass transportation. We indicated it would be a $180-perperson tax. In actuality, it would be up to an additional .5 percent in our sales tax, which in Hamilton County, given its residents’ spending practices, could be well more than that per household. Of course, this would be a “forever” tax, just like the rest. And, naturally, it would guarantee more government jobs, healthy pensions and the like. Regardless, we’re still opposed to it.

Save trip, take the frigid plunge here Editor, I was very surprised to see the Polar Plunge in Missouri as your Get Outta Town spot (2/16).

You don’t have to go all the way to Missouri and help Special Olympics Missouri. We have the same thing right here in Indiana that benefits the athletes from Indiana. The biggest one is coming up Feb. 27 at Eagle Creek and there are several teams from Hamilton County involved.

The money they raise is a 50/50 split with Special Olympics Indiana which keeps all the proceeds of the fundraiser here to help our athletes in Hamilton County. The “Freezin’ Fishers Tigers” from Fishers High School are among the top teams. There is a team from Westfield High

School, a team in memory of one of our volunteers who passed away this past year “Team Mary Beth,” a team from Guerin High School in Noblesville, and my own team, Hamilton County’s Coolest,” all raising money to support special athletes like me. I am proud to be a Special Olympics athlete for 17 years. I have done the Polar Plunge every year since 2002. I will once again be the torch bearer and start the run of plungers this year. Check out my fundraising page at www.firstgiving.com/hamiltoncountycoolest. Love your paper by the way.

No matter what name you have for it, it still smells Commentary

By Danielle Wilson WARNING: READING THE FOLLOWING MAY INDUCE NAUSEA, ESPECIALLY WHILE EATING BEEF STEW OR FOODS CONTAINING MARINARA. “I love the smell of barf in the morning.”

While I disagree with my son’s sentiments, I find it the perfect way to start off this piece. My youngest has been vomit-free for 12 hours now, so I feel safe enough to share my experience without fear of jinxing myself or another member of my family. Lord knows I CANNOT live through another night like I had last night, at least not for another month or two.

I should have known things were about to get bad. My husband and I had just returned from a weekend getaway and, while feeling only somewhat rested, we were most certainly refreshed.

But when we went to collect our children from the grandparents, my nephew heaved all over their beautiful Oriental. I did a quick calculation to determine how long my angels had been exposed to the spew devil and decided we were probably in the clear.

Six hours later, our 5-year-old began complaining of stomach pains, but like all good parents, we chalked up her antics to attention-seeking behavior and/or punishment for abandoning her.

About an hour after that, she blew red chunks four times into the hall toilet. Yah, we were definitely not in the clear.

After quarantining the bathroom and Silkwooding ourselves with Clorox wipes and Dial soap, (safety first!) we put her to bed and tried to convince the poor thing that this was a one-time only occurrence: “Sweetie, you’ve gotten all those bad bugs off your tummy. You’ll be fine!” Swing and a miss.

She was not fine, nor would she be fine for the remainder of the night. Like clockwork, she threw up almost every hour on the hour until early morning. Most of the time, she reached the toilet, but

Current in Noblesville

not always. A 1 a.m. cookie toss took place right in the middle of our bedroom, and despite the hand she threw over her little mouth, enough puke sprayed onto the floor that it was quite noticeable to me and my bare feet. Eww! At 3 a.m., she didn’t even make it out of her bed, though by that time, the only liquid left to ralf up on her comforter was the sip of water she had taken at 2.

I think I slept for three hours, four tops. It was like doing feedings back in Infantland, only I was awake more often and my baby was starring in “The Exorcist.” Thank goodness I had a slight head cold, because with the amount of gut acid I was swabbing up, I most certainly would have become a disgorgement causality myself if I’d have gotten even the tiniest of whiffs.

Which brings me back to my eldest’s breakfast table quote.

Quite literally, the house smelled sick this morning. Soiled sheets, towels, PJ’s – we’d left them all in a pile last night to be dealt with at a later and hopefully more awake time. I’m still waiting on that moment. In fact, I just now noticed that I have my drawstring sweats on inside-out and backward.

I’m not cut out for all-nighters anymore, and certainly not ones involving an upchucking pre-schooler who mutters such heart-breaking comments as, “I just want to be normal again” just as she’s regurgitated a Capri-Sun. Well, I’m off to sanitize my family. And can I get some props for the number of ways I referred to “vomit” in this column? That takes creativity, especially for someone who’s so tired her stomach feels ill. Uh oh. Peace out.

‘Coded’ spirituals, local black history in spotlight at Art Center program

By Zach Dunkin Current in Noblesville Choir members of the Bethel A.M.E. Church and Hamilton County historian David Heighway will be linked by the Underground Railroad when they share billing in “Songs of Freedom & History of African- Americans in Hamilton County” Feb. 28 at the Hamilton County Art Center, 195 S. 5th St., Noblesville.

While Heighway’s Heighway educating account of African-American history in Hamilton County will include the discussion of the Underground Railroad, Bethel’s “Victory in Praise Choir” will sing “innocent spirituals,” sung by slaves and their descendants who allowed the slaves to communicate secret messages and information to each other about that cooperative passage to freedom.

The spirituals and their lyrics were part of a sophisticated system that revealed no incriminating evidence for plantation owners or overseers. Codes imbedded in the spirituals instructed slaves, most of whom could not read or write, as to when, how and where to escape.

For example, among the songs sung will be: “Let Us Break Bread Together on our Knees,” a call for a secret meeting before the sun rose to discuss escape plans and for prayer, and “Wade in the Water,” telling slaves to travel along the riverbank, so the chase dogs would be thrown off their scent.

While outsiders generally interpreted the spirituals on a literal level, slaves knew the meaning of the messages hidden within the words and phrases. Through the words, the refrains, the “call and response” method of singing, and the rhythmic sounds produced by dancing feet, slaves could decipher these hidden meanings.

The Gospel Train quickly became a code name for the Underground Railroad.

Heighway will precede the music program with his presentation on African-Americans in Hamilton County, from the first settlement to modern times.

“African-Americans have had presence in Hamilton County over the entire period beginning with the first settlement,” said Heighway, who has been researching and doing programs on African-American history in the county for several years, including his annual talk on Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday for the Hamilton County Parks Department.

“Contrary to what some people might think, interactions between blacks and whites have been fairly positive, particularly just after the Civil War. “There were problems, mostly in the mid-20 century, and I will discuss that. But I generally will be looking at interesting and obscure stories about how blacks and whites worked together to improve the community.”

Heighway will also display images and maps to illustrate various events and phases of history prior to the presentation.

The exhibit opens at 1 p.m., Heighway speaks at 2:30 p.m. and the choir sings at 4 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Master Yoo’s teachings worth something to shout about COMMENTARY

By Leslie Webber We have a great Tae Kwon Do studio around the corner from our neighborhood. Several of our neighbors have children enrolled in Master Yoo’s World Class Tae Kwon Do. Every third car in the carpool line has a magnet touting Master Yoo’s. Their marketing plan is effective.

Our oldest child begged us to enroll him for months.

I liked the idea as I’m very much in favor of all activities that occur extremely close to home.

I also liked the idea that Master Yoo might be able to whip a certain someone’s sassy mouth into shape. I told my husband our monthly investment would be a two for one deal: an activity and behavioral therapy!

During our initial lesson, Mrs. Yoo put our son through the paces. She talked about respect, focus, enthusiasm, integrity, and self-confidence. I refrained from hugging Mrs. Yoo when she told our son from now on he was to show his parents and teachers the same focus and respect he showed her.

We’re a month into our year-long commitment and so far we are really impressed. Our son is not always the most coordinated of children and doesn’t openly express enthusiasm for

much aside from Legos. In a short time, we’ve noticed significant skill development. The same kid who we sometimes had to drag to soccer practice, starts issuing reminders about class two hours prior.

It is great to be in a room full of students who are truly dedicated to learning a set of skills so they can move onto the next level. The students seem to be motivated by their peers as well as the extraordinarily patient instructors. I could however, do without all the enthusiastic yelling that punctuates each move. I know it has a purpose, but after 45 minutes I’ve had enough.

I am impressed with Master Yoo’s World Class Tae Kwon Do’s commitment to our community. They offer self-defense training classes for women and demonstration teams and speakers for community events. The demonstration team was a big hit at our school carnival. Come to think of it, that is about the time our son starting asking to enroll. Effective marketing, indeed.

By Krista Bocko I don’t know of many ways to spend free time that are more fun than getting together with friends to talk and eat and make something earthy and useful.

I’m way into do-it-yourself type things; I like to sew and bake and grow a garden and all that.

I’ve found that usually the people who like to do these sorts of things are also the type that would like to make their own body care concoctions. Such as deodorant.

Yes, deodorant. Recently, I threw an ‘I’m not a dirty hippie’ party and 10 other women and I made our own deodorant. A novel idea, isn’t it? Who has ever heard of such a thing?

Some of my friends jokingly call me a “revolutionary,” I guess because I’m drawn to the unusual, interesting paths of adventure, and this was one such thing!

We had fun choosing our scents and adding them to the really easy recipe (See my blog).

Each guest took home a jar that will last for months probably, with no wasteful stick con-

tainers to go into the landfill like with conventional deodorant products.

There are also no harmful ingredients (like aluminum or parabens–yuck), plus this homemade deodorant really works.

Sipping some Indiana-brewed beer and sampling homemade cupcakes and cookies and, oh, flipping through the beautiful “Seeds of Change” seed catalog that my gardening friend brought to share and the laughing and talking, it was perfect.

We had such a great time that we decided to make this a monthly event, getting together each month to make something different and useful. I love it. If you have friends that might enjoy something like this, I encourage you to host your own ‘I’m not a dirty hippie’ party (see my blog for ideas). Enjoy and tell me about it.

DISPATCHES » St. Vincent relocates Fishers services – On Feb. 17, St.Vincent officials announced the relocation of its outpatient services at 11201 USA Parkway to three convenient Fishers sites: a St.Vincent Physician Network office, St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast and the Fishers YMCA. » Anti-aging meal plan – Researchers at Unilever Corporate Research in the U.K. have come up with a plan for wrinkledefying fare.

The findings: higher intake of vitamin C and linoleic acid leads to fewer wrinkles, less dryness, and stronger skin, while high consumption of fats and carbs is associated with more signs of aging.

The real challenge: What do we really want and will do to get it?

By John Bellmore Current in Noblesville Those of us who have made it this far in the Alpha Male Challenge have put in a considerable amount of work and are seeing and feeling the results, so now it’s time to take it up a notch. It’s time we all ask ourselves, “What do I really want?”

That question is not so easy to answer. At least not until we go deeper, and connect with the true consciousness of our hearts and souls.

At that level, we may discover that what we “want” is to truly feel alive, healthy, happy, and inspired.

We may want to make the change from an ordinary existence to living a spiritual life.

We may want to be liberated from fear, worry, guilt, and selfishness.

And we may just want to have a healthy body to get us through the journey. The more heartfelt, the more authentic and real our answer is, the more it will help us gain a higher level of awareness about what’s important in life.

Once we gain some insight on what we really want from this challenge, the next thing we need to take a look at is what we have to give up to get it. In the beginning of the challenge it could’ve been as simple as giving up pizza and

Starbucks is not doing you any favors with its Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate. Maybe it doesn’t seem that a hot chocolate could be that bad, but a grande size of this beverage packs 620 calories, 19 grams of fat and 300 mg of sodium. The worst part is, like other high-calorie beverages, the drink won’t curb your appetite like, say, a Big Mac would (the Big Mac, by the way, is lower in fat and calories than the hot chocolate), so an hour later you can dig into a Big Mac as if the drink never happened.

» Calm down - In an Austrian study, researchers wafted the smell of oranges before some participants and lavender before others. The two groups felt less anxious, more positive, and calmer, compared with participants who were exposed to no fragrance at all. Try this: Add a few drops of either oil to a room diffuser and use in your office on stressful days.

Chlorine is a chemical irritant to both skin and hair. It strips away natural oils and breaks down important structural proteins.

Now what we are looking for is something richer, more rewarding, and more meaningful.

The body change will be there if we make exercising and eating healthy part of our lives. That’s the easiest part of the challenge. If we seek a more complete change, we have to be willing to give up a bit more to gain the rewards.

The most important thing to give up at this point is the stubborn resistance of the egotistic nature. When we decide to let that go, and we state that intention in writing, and we do our best to surrender every day, we have done at least half of the work we need to do in order to successfully change.

Next, we need to do what is necessary to make the changes that we’re responsible for making in our thoughts, intentions, and actions. Once we’ve done that we can let it be.

The battle is over.

Eliminating toxins helps your heart, reduces chance of cancer Part 2 of 3 in a series COMMENTARY

By Carol Rossetti, N.D. High cholesterol is not a disease but a signal that something is wrong. Instead of finding ways to artificially lower the numbers, we should be looking for what is causing the high numbers.

HDL, LDL are Lipoproteins and their job is to engulf toxins. More toxins means higher cholesterol and LDL. The body tries to break down the toxins gradually, but if it can’t, it will create more cholesterol to engulf them. A symptom of environmental toxicity?

Environmental toxins can be chlorination, fluoride, out-gassing from new carpets and other new flooring, new car interiors, pesticides, household cleaners, the list is very long.

Since the body uses cholesterol to sequester and attempt to eliminate a variety of chemical toxins, mercury and chemical solvents, it is possible that the higher cholesterol levels are due to a greater exposure to environmental toxins.

Lowering it without getting rid of the toxins exposes the body to more inflammation and free radical damage.

This may explain why the risk for cancer increases as cholesterol levels go down. Your

lowest risk for cancer is when cholesterol is above 240 and there is an increase risk of cancer when cholesterol falls below 190. There is an even greater risk when cholesterol is below 160 and the highest risk is below 140. Increased cholesterol correlates very strongly with the chlorination of drinking water supplies.

Inflammation is caused by toxins irritating tissues. Without inflammation, you aren’t going to develop heart disease, even with high cholesterol. The cholesterol is probably trying to protect you body against toxic damage.

We are getting sicker and sicker because we are faced with a multitude of toxins every minute of every day Begin a detoxification program and clean-up your body. Clean up your environment, for example, by using non-toxic cleaners or by removing all chlorination with whole house filtration systems. Use pure soaps and detergents. Eat organic or natural as much as possible. There isn’t just one thing.

The Damned United R, 97 minutes

Timothy Spall (left) as Peter Taylor and Michael Sheen as Brian Clough have a sibling-like relationship in the engaging soccer film, “The Damned United.”

In 10 days the Academy Awards will be announced. One film whose name won’t be mentioned, but deserves to be, is “The Damned United.”

This excellent drama about Brian Clough’s disastrous 44-day tenure as manager of the powerhouse soccer (football) team Leeds United features a terrific, charismatic performance by Michael Sheen. Sheen plays Clough as a brilliant man whose pursuit of excellence was so single-minded, he let his ego and his arrogance overwhelm him.

But no Best Actor nomination for Sheen. Red card, Academy!

Another name that won’t be called is Timothy Spall, who gives a great understated turn as Peter Taylor, the quiet genius who stood behind and to the right of Clough.

Even for someone like me who doesn’t care

for soccer, “The Damned United” offers an engaging portrait of the game circa 1974 – the managers, the players, the owners and the media.

At first the film’s focus is on Clough’s obsession with eradicating the memory of his predecessor, Don Revie, who preached a win-at-allcosts creed that Clough deemed cheating.

But gradually the focus shifts to the siblinglike relationship between Clough and Taylor.

It was a partnership of very different men that resulted in sports glory.

is hot enough, or not too hot. The chicken should take about 45 seconds to 1 minute on each side to brown and cook through. This process can take awhile but only because you cannot load all of the chicken in the pan at the same time, which will alter the temperature of the oil.

6. When all of the chicken is fried set the pieces aside to drain the oil on a paper towel.

7. For the citrus glaze finely chop half of a large white onion and a few cloves of garlic and sauté in a pan with olive oil and a few pats of butter.

8. When the onion is translucent add the juice of 2 oranges and 1 lime.

9. Let this simmer over medium heat until it is thickening and then add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

Add salt to taste. If the sauce caramelizes, add more citrus juice to thin it out.

Where I Dine

Best Bet Breakfast and Lunch is a hidden treasure, a classic “greasy spoon” confined under awnings in a strip-mall. Owners Karen and Danny Bishop have made the best of it, though, and decked the place out with poker paraphernalia, complete with a cage around the cash register, just for laughs.

This pint-size diner focuses on the classics. The Ava Potatoes are a musthave, served in a golden brown, onion-y scoop of starchy satisfaction.

The pancakes are as big as your head and will be more than enough to satisfy your craving. Order a side of sausage, too, though; the patties are locally made, as are all of Best Bet’s pork products.

For lunch, grab a thin and crispy 10-oz. burger with a side of hand-cut fries, or the Reuben, a feast of corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing on toasted brown bread.

And if you’re there during the week, get your hands on a couple of complimentary, sugar-doused fried biscuits. They’re hard to resist.

Beef & Boards actor doesn’t kid around with stage show for youths

By Zach Dunkin Current in Noblesville Adam Crowe has been in front of enough audiences filled with kids to know that just because they’re not old enough to drive themselves to the theater, he doesn't have to dumb it down for them.

“You really make a mistake if you make them feel like they are being talked down to, like you have to speak slowly so they’ll understand what is going on,” said the former Noblesville resident.

“Show them some respect. The more honest and straightforward you are with your storytelling, the more the kids are going to be into it.”

Crowe is starring in his second Live Theatre for Kids production at Beef & Boards Dinner Theater, playing the role of the Sultan in the Pyramid Players presentation of “Disney’s Aladdin Jr., ” which continues through March 20.

Following his Beef & Boards debut as Elam in “Oklahoma!” in 2007, the semi-retired attorney had roles in “West Side Story” and “Run for Your Wife,” both in 2008 at the B & B before playing The Huntsman in his first kids play there, “Snow White” the same year.

In addition to playing in traditional stage productions at Theatre on the Square and the Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis, he has also played in some matinee shows strictly for school groups at the Civic Theatre there.

“I’ve really noticed that if you give them credit for being the smart kids that they are, they are going to going to go right along with you and the story,” said Crowe, who supplements his acting income by working at the Borders book store at Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville. “If you don’t do that, their minds are going to start to wander and think about what else they are going to be doing the rest of the day.

Tickets: $12.50, including a drink and snack. Call the box office at (317) 872-9664 between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday.

show.

“Aladdin Jr. ” is an abbreviated stage adaptation of the Disney hit movie, and includes the film’s Oscar-winning score with songs like “A Whole New World” and “Friend Like Me.” The hour-long production is for all ages but particularly for children in preschool through sixth grade.

In Agrabah, City of Enchantment, Aladdin, a kind but crafty street urchin, falls in love with beautiful Princess Jasmine (played

by Jessica Murphy). Sultan has declared that Princess Jasmine must choose a husband within the next day. After she turns down the offers from several wealthy suitors, Aladdin and the evil Jafar (Jonah Winston) battle it for Jasmine’s love. With a little help from the Genie (Josh Stark), Aladdin eventually gains Jasmine’s hand in marriage “This Sultan was a man of his time,” said Crowe, describing his character. “He thinks he knows the best way to do everything ,but by the end of the show he’s figured out that maybe his daughter is a little smarter than he gives them credit for.”

Just like some of the kids who’ll be in the audience.

COMMENTARY

By Ryan C. Fuhrmann j2 Global Communications (Nasdaq: JCOM) is a tiny but profitable provider of online fax, voice, email and other call-handling services.

Recent growth trends have soured along with a downturn of the overall economy, but j2’s valuation already discounts these more tepid nearterm trends, which could pique the interest of a strategic acquirer.

Third-quarter sales increased ever so slightly, rising 0.3% to $61.8 million on a modest boost in subscriber revenue.

In terms of profitability, gross margins improved eight basis points to 81.8% of sales, while operating margins improved 220 basis points to 43.1% of sales. Management claimed its “operational excellence” contributed to a 2.7% boost in net income to $19.3 million, or a healthy 31.2% of sales. Diluted earnings improved 2.3% to 43 cents per share as shares outstanding increased slightly.

2 Global’s free cash flow exceeded reported net income and grew an impressive 74% from last year’s Q3. Analysts currently project full-year earnings of $1.85 per share, which puts the stock at a very reasonable 10.51 forward P/E. They expect revenue to improve a modest 2% to $246.4 million. j2 also sports nearly $5 in cash per share on the balance sheet and boasts no long-term debt. Returns on invested capital are also impressive.

Bottom line: Investors stand to benefit from a number of angles. Sales and profit could return to the double digits, the low earnings multiple could expand or a strategic buyer could emerge.

Costumes and candy … in January COMMENTARY

By David Cain It is midday on a Saturday, I’m home alone with the kids, and we are watching the sun glistening on the falling flurries. My oldest daughter, who is almost four years old, and I are both staring out the window wondering what the day holds for us. Our ritual Saturday journey to Costco for sure, but what else? Her little 2-year-old sister hovers nearby, not old enough to participate in this C-level discussion, but keenly interested nonetheless. I asked the oldest, “What do you want to do today?” Her reply was surprising and adorable: “Let’s go trick-or-treating!”

Admittedly it was an outlandish request, but it actually made some sense. Why were there so many rules? Why couldn’t we go trick-or-treating in January? Well, aside from the obvious hurdles – the snow, no costumes, and the likely reactions from neighbors – I found something reasonable in her energetic request. I was feeling a bit like getting out of the house too, and

I couldn’t think of a time when candy is a bad idea.

We didn’t go; instead I negotiated a visit to the CVS candy isle. We went as well bundled up travelers, our ghost bag we swapped for a small metal cart, our “trick-or-treat” was replaced with a “thank you,” and the whole deal cost us just more than $20.

This day reminded me I shouldn’t limit my thinking. She had redefined thinking outside the box. She was an innovator with no limits.

As I push on with my workdays, I think while I drive to work, “Let’s go trick or treating today!” and then remember I can do anything I want.

Well, anything I want or some suitable and calendar-appropriate alternative.

Wishful thinking won't stop dandelions COMMENTARY

By Holly Funk Before you know it, dandelions will be dancing in our yards. Ugh. My daughter lovingly calls them “wishing flowers.” I cringe every time she plucks one and with all the breath she has, blows the seeds far and wide.

My dad is fond of eating dandelions.

Whoever heard of pulling weeds and then eating them for dinner? Not this gardener, not without a side of steak or something.

To me, dandelions are not delicious or capable of granting wishes. They are weeds … extremely belligerent ones at that. They taunt me from my garden, yellow as can be, noticeable from a mile down the street. I pull them, mow them, chop them and yet they persist.

Like many of our invasive pests, whether vegetative or insect, dandelions hail from Europe.

They were originally brought here to feed honeybees and are now represented in every state.

Considered an extremely useful herb, dandelions can be used to treat everything from high blood pressure to constipation. I guess there really are good qualities to every one of God’s creations.

The Latin name for the plant, Taraxacum, is derived from the Greek words taraxos, meaning disorder and akos, meaning remedy. Its common name is derived from the Greek word

Leontodon, meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the deeply cut foliage. Regardless of it’s meaning, when speaking of my garden, I’m leery of its greatness.

I generally prefer an organic approach to controlling such pests. The chemicals we put on our lawns deplete the soil of beneficial organisms. Without those organisms, our soils are useless in supporting a healthy turf for any length of time. But with all of these dandelions, what’s a gardener to do?

Either pull them like mad – root and all – until your hand cramps or try using white vinegar as an herbicide, spraying it thoroughly on the foliage, keeping it free from your desirable plants. A late fall application of any herbicide will do the trick better than anything.

Wishing flowers, lion’s teeth, dinner…whatever you call them, good luck getting rid of them. Even the greenest of lawns sports at least one. I guess some things are better left as they are. Maybe if I’m lucky, the rabbits will decide dandelions are tastier than petunias.

In my dreams.

DISPATCHES » Next school board forum coming up – Members of the Noblesville Board of School Trustees will meet the community at 6:30 p.m. March 2 at Noblesville City Hall to discuss the building projects and the need for additional operating funds and to answer questions. There will be two more meetings April 14 and 28 at City Hall. The board approved last month to take a $63.6 million building project and a $5 million operational referendum to allow the school district to replace money for its General Fund to the voters of Noblesville Township in the May 4 primary election. Registered voters will be asked to support an increase in property taxes to support both referendums. For more details about the proposed changes and what kind of tax impact this may have, read a longer version of this story online at www.currentnoblesville.com or visit the Noblesville School’s Web site at www.noblesvilleschools.org.

One day off school and now she's crazy 'mad' over AMC hit series COMMENTARY

By Hannah Davis My family has never had cable TV. Or digital. Or satellite. Or whatever it is that gets you all the fancy channels with all the fancy extras.

I was raised on PBS and, when I got old enough to watch sitcoms, “Friends” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch.” Those were our big indulgences.

Ironically enough, Mom worked for a cable TV company, but the most we ever saw of “SpongeBob SquarePants” was the occasional promotional tape she brought home.

We never really wanted all those other shows, though. We were content with laughing at Bob Ross’s “happy little trees” and singing the “Arthur” theme song.

I’m still content, but if it weren’t for my laptop and the handy dandy Internet, and if I still had to seek entertainment solely from “American Idol” and all that other nonsense, I might just go a bit crazy. My tastes have progressed pass that point.

But for some reason, when friends started recommending “Mad Men” (AMC’s hit show about the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York ), I didn’t even bother to watch the pilot.

I made a mistake.

After getting a hold of the first few episodes this week during Noblesville High School’s first “bomb day,” I’m hooked.

Entirely. (In case you haven’t heard, we got sent home after a bomb scare which was ridiculous since we’re pretty cozy in Noblesville, and kids don’t pull that kind of stuff here).

Hannah’s Unofficial Top 5 Favorite Non-Network TV Shows • • • • •

“Project Runway” “Mad Men” “The Buried Life” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!”

“Mad Men” is the perfect combination of savvy and wit and smarts, and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt compelled to watch a season from start to finish.

And I’m not the only one who’s so taken by the show.

Nielson Ratings tells me that in 2009, “Mad Men” was second in its list of Top 10 primetime TV programs, second only to the final season of “Battlestar Galactica.”

Critics like it, too. It’s won tons of awards.

It seems that Noblesville-ians, though, have slightly less geeky taste.

DISPATCHES » Pulled together – If you’re a rugged guy who doesn’t dress up much (jeans or overalls are your standard fare), consider this style tip for when you need to look more pulled together: adding a leather jacket dresses up a basic polo shirt and jeans. And when you want to appear authoritative, scientific studies show that the color red lets everyone else in the room know who is running the show.

A brown leather jacket is a bit more sophisticated and work friendly than its black counterpart.

- www.menshealth.com » Spring trend – One of this spring’s trends is the addition of Lucite – an acrylic plastic – to accessories such as shoes, necklaces, and purses. Lucite itself isn’t terribly expensive, but designer names are, so if you’re looking for a bargain, look for the crystal-clear variety without the name brand.

The urban legend of the large room COMMENTARY

By Vicky Earley Once and for all, I would like to shatter the urban legend of the “Deep-Colored Paint Shrinks Room.” It is an erroneous belief that the only way to make a room appear larger is to paint it a light color!

The real secret to the illusion of space is to walk the eye where you want it to go, regardless of saturation of color! Because the belief of “pale color equals big room” has permeated the core of our decorating culture, I know I am going to have to offer hard evidence to prove my point.

Consider where drapery panels are hung in a room. Most homeowners will plaster those puppies about an inch above the window molding and call it a day. Well, well, well … if I could have my drapery installer on hand at all times, I would, on the spot, have him re-mount them close to the ceiling. The difference would be immediately evident.

Still dubious? Consider my rendering that shows an elevation and two identical windows. One set of panels is hung the way so many homeowners are prone to do. The other is hung closer to the ceiling.

If you are now a believer in the art judicious positioning, another recommendation is to refrain from using a severe horizontal valance or cornice.

Anything that draws a bold line across the top is going to pull the

ceiling down.

Just adding movement to the bottom of the cornice or valance can trick the eye into moving up and down so the eye does not stop at the lowest point of the cornice.

This strategy holds true for a bath, as well.

When mounting a shower curtain, hang it higher than usual for drama and the feel of higher ceilings.

This will probably require a custom shower curtain but the difference between one that arrives in a plastic wrapper and a custom curtain that is lined and interlined is worlds apart.

In the dining room, try chairs with a higher than normal back. High-backed chairs are dramatic and work to take the eye from the floor up!

In the kitchen, brightly colored or reflective elements of interest that are carefully positioned above the cabinets, will attract the eye and help create the illusion of height and space.

So now, grab a paint roller saturated with a deep color, a marshmallow on a stick and gather around the Viking Cooktop and tell stories about the House of Blue Lights!

Stay tuned for more important information COMMENTARY

By Darla Kinney Scoles While the Internet is still arguably one of the most valuable sources for a family historian to turn to for information, I have recently found the television set to be a great help as well.

Scanning the guide on my satellite selections, I spotted a show on BYU-TV (Brigham Young University and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) titled “Questions and Ancestors.” I recorded several segments and have found them all to be worth watching.

Actually, a televised version of a radio broadcast, the discussions provided by the show are relevant and cover useful information on a variety of genealogy topics recently including “How to do Oral History,” “Using Cemetery Records,” “Coats of Arms in Family History,” “Native American Genealogy” and “DNA and Family History Research.”

A companion Web site – www.byub.org/new/ questionsandancestors – offers even more.

Soon after my experience on BYU-TV, an NBC commercial caught my eye.

A new series coming to that network takes an interesting angle on family history, using famous figures to hook viewers, but then doing

with their family history what any of us could do – uncovering interesting stories, situations and characters.

“Who Do You Think You Are?” could be a wonderful way to get viewers interested in their own ancestral happenings.

Says the promotional Web page for the show: “The series will lead celebrities on a journey of self-discovery as they unearth their family trees that reveal surprising, inspiring and even tragic stories that often are linked to crucial events in American history. No other program gives this unique glimpse into the personal lives of celebrities or takes viewers on a quantum leap through history in such an entertaining way.”

I would say that no other worthwhile pursuit than family history has such a variety of interesting and useful tools to help with the work.

Kid wanting privacy is another sign of maturity COMMENTARY

By Joe Shearer I’ve always been critical of parents who try to keep their children kids as long as they can, who baby them and tightly restrict what they can or can’t watch, read, or listen to.

Job No. 1as a parent is to prepare your child for the real world and all of its hazards, pitfalls and pratfalls, and I my thoughts are let them grow up at their own pace, not what you as a parent are ready for.

But this morning, something kind of remarkable happened as we were getting ready for the day. I went into Riley’s room, got out his clothes, and woke him up to get dressed. He looked at me through sleepy eyes.

“Daddy, I want you to go out of the room,” he said.

I was stunned, and immediately I knew we had just hit a major milestone with Riley. His first bout of self-consciousness with regard to getting undressed in front of someone else, even (especially) his parents.

For a second I didn’t know how to react, so in

www.youarecurrent.com

the most understanding voice I could muster, I said, “okay,” and walked out.

I went back into our room and told Crystal.

She wondered whether I was upset about it. I said no, but I was sad. It’s another sign, one of many, that my little boy is growing up, and he’s not that bouncing baby boy who spontaneously danced to a Johnny Cash song at a year old, or who needs help putting on his shoes or who cried every day his first three weeks of preschool.

He’s now the boy who walked early, had a “big boy” bed a full 6 months before he turned two, and who wants to do it himself, and now he’s the boy who doesn’t want me in the room when he changes clothes.

I guess I’m doing something right after all.

But why does that make me so sad?

We’re the primary caregiver’s caregiver.

Because the best strategy for caring for the ones who depend on you is taking care of yourself first.

That’s why our doctors encourage you to complete your annual physical, mammogram, and pap smear. In fact, we think you should do it now at the start of the year before you get busy and forget.

It’s also why we’re big on electronic medical records for the sake of continuous, coordinated care.

And why many of our physicians don’t shy away from same day or early morning appointments.

So whether it’s a screening, referral, or a suspicious case of the sniffles, log in to eCommunity.com/CPI or call1-800-777-7775 to schedule an appointment with a trusted physician in your community.

And start the year off healthy. Not only for yourself, but for all the fans of your chicken soup too.
