Newest home plans target older clientele

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The three newest housing projects before the Noblesville Common Council are aimed at a specific market – empty nesters. Each has proposed building neighborhoods with Development smaller one-story buildings and minimal yards and landscaping. Developers said the style suits those on fixed income or don’t have the time or ability to maintain their home or yard.

The common council approved two “empty nester” communities on Feb. 10.

The first development will be south of Guerin High School on Gray Road and northeast of the intersection of 146th Street. On its 58 acres, Holston Hills will build 127 new homes. The neighborhood would feature minimal community improvements and be marketed toward empty nesters. Developers said the homes will have a minimum of 2,100 square feet and include a basement.

The second development will be located south of Sagamore Golf Club on the east side of Union Chapel Road. Chapel Villas has plans for 56 new homes on 14.5 acres north of Greenfield Avenue.

However, a third proposed community faces a harder sell for the council.

The Courtyards of Hazel Dell Chapel Villas received an 8-2 unfavorable recommendation from the Noblesville Plan Commission on Jan. 20. Plans are to build 29 single-story condominium houses priced between $275,000 and $400,000 on 8.8 acres on the northeast corner of Hazel Dell Parkway and 161st Street. The homes will have no side yards as patios will butt against the adjacent home.

The project has support and opposition from neighbors of the area, which is farm land.

“I’d like to see the project go in next to us,” said Ralph Waver, who shares 800 feet of the proposed development’s property line. “It’s very attractive, high quality homes.”

Noblesville resident Linda Coyne said she has concerns about the density of the development.

The Courtyards of Hazel Dell

Holston Hills

“We’re going from rural 1 (zoning) to the highest density, which is typically downtown and transitions to commercial property,” she said. “Where are people going to park?”

The project’s fate may be decided at the Feb. 24 council meeting but several councilors made their opinions known. Councilor Jeff Zeckel, who previously voted against the project at the plan commission, again questioned the project’s proximity to Hazel Dell Parkway.

“You still have a lot of noise,” he said. “Fifteen thousand vehicles drive on there now. I have real concern with the noise pollution there at that spot.”

Councilor Brian Ayer said he feels the density

is too high for that area and has concerns the development would not fit with the other landscape there and the lack of amenities.

As dangerous as cancer is, it can also be rather difficult to talk about. But Dan and his wife Beth are doing more than talking, they’re singing the praises of all those who helped. “I figure if we’re going to fight cancer, let’s get Community on our team,” declares Dan. And as Beth can attest, it was that team that she truly appreciates. She says, “What I liked about Community is that they had a navigator that helped us with all the tests and the terms we didn’t understand. It was comforting to have someone looking over our shoulders.” Of course successful outcomes don’t just happen, they take collaboration. Just ask Dan’s surgeon, Dr. Narayanan, who says, “Dan’s team and our team have given him every chance in the world to be around for a long time with his wife, his kids and his grandkids.” Choosing to beat cancer starts with choosing the right specialists. No one qualifies more than Community.

Honoring those that help

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Do you know an exemplary volunteer or are you one yourself? Do you volunteer for an outstanding organization that volunteers helps many in the community? If so, the City of Noblesville encourages you to fill out a nomination form at www.cityofnoblesville.org.

“We started this award program to recognize great volunteers and encourage all of us to help others,” said Mayor John Ditslear. “It’s also our way of showing appreciation to so many deserving people and organizations.”

The volunteer awards program is celebrating its third year of recognizing Noblesville residents and Noblesville-based organizations that have voluntarily contributed their time and talent to the betterment of others.

“The awards are terrific because a lot of us know behind the scenes of so many outstanding volunteers but nobody in the general public knows how they give their time and talents to the community,” Noblesville Community Engagement Coordinator Amy Shankland said. “They (winners) prefer to be quiet but it encourages and inspires so many others.”

Shankland said the awards were modeled after the governor’s service awards and Noblesville winners are forwarded to the state level.

“We’re so proud that our people go on and win

governor’s awards,” she said, adding that in the past two years the city has had three winners: Helmer Scientific, Sue Treida and Cindy Haas.

“That’s amazing.”

Individual volunteers may be nominated in the following categories: Lifetime Achievement, All-Around, Faith-Based, Youth, National Service Member, and the Dr. Earl Brooks Outstanding Environmentalist. Organizations and groups can be nominated for corporate volunteer program, best green project or exemplary service-learning project. Nominations will be accepted through March 27. Applicants from last year that did not win would not be automatically included in this year’s evaluation.

Shankland said a volunteer council consisting of Noblesville residents as well as representatives from local businesses and the City of Noblesville will evaluate all nominations. Finalists will be honored at the May 28 Noblesville Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Benedict said two of the new green awards will be handed out during the city’s Earth Day Arbor Fest on April 26.

The Live Noblesville Committee, consisting of Noblesville residents as well as representatives from local businesses, nonprofits and the city will evaluate all nominations. Finalists will be honored at the May 20 Noblesville Chamber of Commerce breakfast.

For more information, contact Shankland at 770-2005.

Meet your teacher, Kristin Wagle Kristin Wagler is a secondgrade teacher at Hinkle Creek Elementary. Wagler said she enjoys working at NoblesWagler ville Schools because of the people who work with her. “My teammates are the most caring, hardest working group of professionals I know,” she said. “We each have different strengths and are constantly sharing ideas to help each other and our students.”

Why did you become a teacher? I was the little girl who loved school and always wanted to be a teacher. My second favorite job also involved teaching – I was a gymnastics teacher for 10 years. It is all about seeing kids grow. I love being right there beside them when they learn something new.

What are your goals for students? Of course, academic growth is important, but I also hope my students are learning important life skills. Long term, I hope to help my students develop into well-rounded adults who exhibit common sense, curiosity and responsibility.

What advice would you give for parents?

Remember we’re all on the same team. Help reinforce what I am doing in the classroom. If your child hears it from both of us (whether it involves academics or behavior), it is more likely to stick.

Any special professional accomplishments/experiences? In college, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach students in Liverpool, England. It was my first experience in a classroom for an extended amount of time (one month), and I learned a lot. Students at this school had not been exposed to many science or social studies topics, so teaching those subjects was an adventure.

What is something others might not know about you? Recently, I obtained my master’s degree in curriculum and educational technology. For the first time in a long time, I am not an “official” student. As a lover of learning though, I’ll always be looking for ways to gain knowledge.

NWMS debuts new cells video

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

An advanced science class at Noblesville West Middle School has collaborated with their teacher to animate and technology produce an educational “rap” video about photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

NWMS seventh-grade science teacher Emily Crapnell made the first cell rap when she was student teaching in the spring of 2011.

“I just made it as a different way to engage students in the materials,” she said.

“Cells Part Two” is the sequel to “Cells, Cells.”

“It took a full year and a half to make the whole thing. We’re so excited to launch the video,” Crapnell said.

In 2013, the video hit one million views and is now at 2.3 million. In addition to creating the video, students are conducting a social media campaign to promote it on YouTube, and study

how it spreads through various social media outlets.

“We’re hoping to hit a million views as soon as possible,” Crapnell said.

Crapnell said the project involved students creating the lyrics, singing, playing instruments, animating and filming it.

“It’s interesting to see what the seventh graders did and how they put their own spin on it,” said eighth-grade student Jaclyn Klinger who worked on the project last year.

Students proudly watched as the world premiere was held in the school’s cafeteria.

“It was really fun,” said seventh grader Abby Krent. “It was a lot of work. I didn’t think it would turn out as well as it did.”

In addition to having fun, Krent said the process to create “Cells Part Two” was educational.

“The goal is to teach kids more than they already know about cells,” she said.

USAF veteran Charles Warren shares currency collection, history with youth

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For 38 years, Noblesville resident Charles Warren served in the United States Air Force on active and reserve duty. For the past 50 years Warren has been preserving America’s cover story history and sharing it with others by collecting coins and medallions.

Warren, 66, began his collection in high school.

“Everyone was coin collecting in the ’60s. Most of my friends collected coins, I just stayed with it,” he said. “I moved from stamps to coins.”

His love led Warren to become a numismatist – the study, science and collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, medals and related objects. Warren was the Indiana representative for more than 20 years in the American Numismatic Association. Each February, he exhibits his display cases at local schools and universities as part of Black History Month.

“I really enjoy getting out and the kids come up and have never heard of it (the history),” he said. “Some of the older people who see the collection will reminisce about when the Booker T. Washington or George Washington Carver coins came out.”

While smaller now, at its peak in the ’70s and ’80s Warren had accumulated more than 10,000 items and expanded to include foreign currency.

“I got rid of a lot of it,” he said, adding part was sold and part was lost in a storage unit while serving in the Middle East. “I had 18 display cases covering foreign currency to tax tokens and Great Depression medals.”

One of his favorite pieces is the Jackie Robinson commemorative gold dollar, but the jewel in Warren’s collection is antislavery tokens from the 1830s.

“They are the hardest to find because there weren’t too many of them made,” he said.

Warren’s tokens are of a female in chains. He said a similar version with a male was made but the U.S. Mint stepped in.

“They were the size of a penny at that time, which is about a quarter today and made out of copper. Only five were printed and

Meet Charles Warren • Age: 66 • Birthplace: Indianapolis • Residence: Noblesville • Hobbies: Coin collecting and photography. I take a ton of photos. I’m always taking a lot of pictures. There were only two places I couldn’t travel (while oversees) because I was restricted to the base – Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. I only took pictures of the sand there.

• Military service: Master sgt. Air Force, Sept. 17, 1968 to Dec. 7, 2003. Warren served in the Vietnam War and Desert Storm. His unit was activated during Operation Iraqi Freedom but was never deployed.

• Place he most wants to visit: Australia. I’ve always wanted to go there.

• Coin he’d like to see the U.S. Mint create: The Martin Luther King, Jr. coin. I’ve waited for that for that too long. I have a picture of how the coin would look from 10 years ago. I’d order it early because I think it would sell out.

• Personal quote: “Work hard and save.”

each is valued at six figures,” he said. “You won’t see it in my collection, I’ll tell you that.”

His display serves as a history lesson for younger viewers and he hopes it spurs an interest in collecting items.

“I hope it sparks their interest in history,” he said. “Maybe one or two will decide to get into that area – the idea of collecting and knowledge. When I picked this up, I did better all around in school and with my grades. Until that time I was going to school but wasn’t too interested.”

For those interested in collecting, Warren’s advice is to read and learn.

“I tell anyone to read all you can on coin collecting,” he said.

“When I first started I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to clean a coin because it hurts the value. There is a lot of information to know what you are looking at.”

Warren suggests utilizing the library, internet and even becoming a member of the ANA. “There is a lot of new material out there and new currency items at the U.S. Mint,” he said.

Warren said one of the biggest changes since he began is the amount of African American items.

“Broken bank notes had African Americans on it. Confederate currency had a picture of a slave working in the fields or picking cotton. Now it’s hard to track and find genuine confederate currency,” he said. “There’s been a lot to come out in the last 10 years.”

In addition to collecting African American items, Warren also has assembled signatures of four of the five Black Registers of the Treasury (Blanche K. Bruce, 1881-1885; Judson W. Lyons, 1898-1906; William T. Vernon, 1906-1911; James C. Napier, 1911-1913; and Louis B. Toomer, 1953-1956).

“Only four signed currency,” Warren said. “Toomer didn’t sign because the register was no longer required to sign.”

Since he is retired, Warren plans to try and display his collection more and travel around.

“I like to go around to conventions,” he said. “I hope I can get my kids interested in it. I want them to take it over. Not to sell, so other people can see it.”

Did you know?

• The last old type U.S. Commemorative silver half dollars were minted from 1951 to 1954 honoring two Black Americans? The obverse of the coins had busts of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver. Washington was the largest quantity of old type half dollars ever minted.

• Past U.S. Treasurer Azie Taylor Morton, whose signature appears on currency, is an African American woman.

• The first African American to be honored with a U.S. gold dollar coin was Jackie Robinson, which was minted in 1997.

• African American sculptor Selma Hortense Burke was commissioned to design a profile of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The profile was later used as the basis for the image of Roosevelt on the dime.

• The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate each must approve a gold medal by a two-thirds vote. A gold medal is awarded to the person or descendant and bronze versions are available for collectors.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Howard Dean, the would-be comedian?

The 2016 presidential race is heating up, and we got a real charge out of the latest shenanigans, this one compliments of Howard Dean, the former failed Democratic presidential candidate and former Vermont governor. Sensing that Scott Walker, the Republican governor of Wisconsin, is gaining steam on his march toward the party’s nomination, Dean took a shot at Walker for not having a college degree.

“The issue is, How well educated is this guy?”

Dean asked. “I worry about people being president of the United States not knowing about the world and not knowing much about science.” Well, then, this borders on hilarity. We’re assuming Dean is just parroting the party line in trashing Walker. What would you expect from the party of elitists? We find it interesting that we never heard Dean worry, back in 2008, that his party’s nominee, Barack Obama, was nothing more than a community organizer and very junior senator. Did Dean believe Obama had learned everything he needed to know about the world from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright? At least Obama has a degree from Harvard, and we’ve seen how that has worked out. Speaking of Harvard, we wonder if Dean ever questioned Teddy Kennedy’s Harvard degree. You just have to love Teddy. Back in 1951, he was forced to withdraw from Harvard for cheating on his Spanish final. He was allowed back in – the check cleared – and eventually earned his degree. Another round, Teddy?

“Si, mis amigos. Mucho gusto!” Unfortunately, we’re starting to see what direction this election season is taking, and it’s not going to be pretty. Walker is an accomplished governor, in our opinion, and if he stays the course – in other words, he doesn’t turn into the typical wimp Republican – he could be a formidable challenger. Let’s concentrate on what all the candidates have actually accomplished. Sorry, Hillary.

Adult supervision

Commentary by Terry Anker

As a kid, tornados never seemed that scary.

The wind would blow, sure; but other than picking up the limbs that would be strewn across the lawn the next day, there seemed to be little impact. I grew up safe in the knowledge that if something bad was going to happen, that someone, an adult, would let me know. I think most of us did. But on a rainy day in April of 1974, I was forced to put this supposition to the test.

Mom was making preparations for a ladies club party that she was hosting in our home that night. And, I’d just finished my homework and was watching a little television before being banished to my bedroom when the grown-ups came over. The unremarkable evening, like many scores of others, spun around us with little note of it.

My Dad came home from the fields a bit early.

It had been raining off and on all day. Such is spring in the Hoosier state. But as his pickup

parked on the gravel in front of the house, he didn’t come in immediately as was his custom.

Instead, I noticed him peering at the sky from the front porch. Distracted by the TV, I didn’t immediately notice him come in the house – although the door was inches away. He was applying all of his considerable strength to close the door. His shouts were barely audible over the din. In an instant I was scooped up and delivered to safety. The next time I was in that room, it was gone.

Yes, tornados are scary and do kill people. But the adults in my life were vigilant, and ready to sacrifice. We, even the dog, survived and built back the house. Today, it makes me wonder are we ready for the wind to blow?

Here’s a throwback column in celebration of my upcoming eighth anniversary at Current.

Hi, and welcome to Department of Kids and Recreation official Mini-Van Tour. My name is Danielle.

“Excuse me, Danielle what’s that odor . . . ?”

I tell you what, let’s hold all questions ‘til the end of the tour.

“But, it’s like the zoo . . . “ Thank you. Now this mini-van was established in the year 1998 under the direction of Chrysler- Motors. It can easily hold a doublewide stroller, four Size 3 soccer balls, and seven gallons of milk. Purchased in 2001, it had no dents or scratches, no stains or holes in the fabric, and gave off a fresh pine sent.

All air vents were coin-free and the cassette player worked properly at that time.

Before we enter the van, I’d like to point out a few interesting spots on the exterior, beginning with this sine wave-like mark along the entire left-side. That’s no custom detailing! This unique decoration came about after a rather close encounter with a mailbox two months into ownership. Now on the right, you’ll notice a more subtle scratch, though no less handsome. This beauty was the result of poor navigation by a seemingly sober woman who was helping the actual sober driver back out of a bar parking lot at 2 a.m. after a bachelorette party. I call these “accoutrements.”

“Danielle, what’s that white scratch that looks like you hit a house?”

For the last time, please hold all questions until the end. As I manually slide open the two side-doors (you may want to put those gas masks on now) please note how this seat belt has become entangled with the locking mechanism. That’s a new feature, folks!

Under the back bench, take notice of the large pile of wrappers, discarded Kleenex, McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, and yes, it’s your lucky day, people, an honest-to-God sippy cup from 2006. Probably a nice sharp cheddar in there by now. Do I hear someone’s stomach growling? Ha-HA! In between the two front seats, you’ll see the typical collection of water bottles, pacifiers and reject Yu-Gi-Oh cards. But if you’ll peer just to the right, you’ll be in for a real treat. Anyone “hazard” a guess?

“A moldy waffle?”

“A mutilated Barbie?”

Both reasonable answers, but no. That, my friends, is an actual corn dog from the 2003 State Fair. Ah, the memories. They grow up so fast, don’t they? But I digress . . .

At this time, I’d like to conclude our tour.

Y’all have been one of the greatest groups I’ve ever worked with, really. Peace out!

REA D ERS ’ V I E W S New stadium to unite Indiana Editors, Attending a professional sporting event is an unforgettable experience. For most people, it is the only time they enthusiastically high-five complete strangers. As you can imagine for fans, the proposed “Stadium for Indiana” is certainly more than just building some walls, stands and a field for our Indy Eleven professional soccer team. It is about creating a transformational experience that ignites passion in all people of various ages in our community, city and state.

For the more than 60,000 members who make up the Indiana soccer family, and who play for one of the 140 member clubs or in one of the several Indiana adult leagues, attending an Indy Eleven game or a Men’s or Women’s National Team at the new stadium, will inspire dreams.

While the stadium will be a showcase home for Indy Eleven and other soccer events — including a potential professional women’s team — it will be a multipurpose stadium hosting entertainment and other sports at the professional, collegiate, high school and youth levels.

The proposed stadium would be more than

just an investment in our youths and attraction for our adults — it would boost Indiana’s economy.

For Indianapolis, the city is bolstering its position as the capital for sports in the U.S. We’ve come a long way since laying the foundation for the Hoosier Dome. Ersal Ozdemir, the owner of Indy Eleven, is building upon a vision with soccer fans in mind.

If soccer isn’t your thing; if you never attend a match; you’ll never have to pay a dime toward the stadium’s construction. If you don’t go, you won’t pay. The cost for building the stadium at $82 million will be paid for only by those who attend events at the stadium.

I encourage everyone to contact their legislator so lawmakers at the Statehouse realize this stadium is an investment in more than just the Indy Eleven team or soccer. Instead, this is an investment in ensuring a strong future by improving the quality of life for Hoosiers across Indiana.

Editors, Recently the Carmel and Fishers chambers of commerce have merged into one the OneZone organization to benefit their many business members. I congratulate both chambers as this important topic was discussed for many years by the directors of chambers in Hamilton County.

Business in and around Hamilton County has become more regionalized with each passing year and the merger of these two power-house business advocacy organizations shows that they are listening to their members. Additionally, the OneZone organization gives additional recognition and impact with the state legislature and other entities. The way business is conducted has changed (particularly since the first chamber of commerce in our country was formed in 1768!) and chambers of commerce must recognize and meet those changes head-on.

As a former executive director of the Fishers Chamber and president of the Noblesville Cham-

ber during a 20-year time span, I anticipated that this positive change would probably occur in the near future and I am so pleased to see it come to fruition. Former Chamber directors Nancy Blondin, Ruth Anne Nunamaker and Christi Wolf were also involved in those discussions in the past and I imagine that they are pleased to see the merger of these two organizations. Mo Merhoff and Dan Canan bring years of business, economic development, government relations, and community leadership in their roles as president and executive vice president, respectively, to OneZone. Their vision, along with the OneZone board of directors, will encourage further economic development and cohesion resulting in a win-win for both business and community development in Hamilton County. Congratulations to the Carmel and Fishers chambers of commerces for their foresight and hard work to make this happen.

USPS continues strong financial turnaround

Editor: Last month’s annual USPS financial report reinforces the point that the postal networks are thriving—profitable this year by $1.4 billion after what USPS called its best quarterly and annual performance in many years—and that dismantling the networks is precisely the wrong thing to do.

The USPS report shows that letter revenue

rose as the economy improves, while package revenue skyrocketed by 9.1 percent, the biggest increase on record. That reflects growing online shopping, which makes the Internet a net positive for USPS—auguring well for the future.

Carmel resident set to reshape Indianapolis Opera

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Tony Award-winning ‘Art’ opens Feb. 26

By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestifeld.com

As he prepares his swan song to the stage-directing part of his theater career, Ken Klingenmeier relishes the opportunity to present Yasmina Reza’s play “Art” for a second time — for a different company but on the same theater stage as in 2008.

This time he will emphasize the Tony Award-winning show’s serious side, though its comic aspects are never far from the surface. As the French playwright said about her work in 2000, “Art” is a tragedy “because it is a break-up of a friendship, a rupture between people… My plays have always been described as comedy, but I think they’re tragedy. They are funny tragedy, but they are tragedy. Maybe it’s a new genre.”

“It’s a play about friendship, not art,” Klingenmeier explained. “And the way she details it, it’s effective storytelling.”

Both funny and sad, “Art” is a fine candidate for “talkbacks” after every performance, the director has found. He has arranged for those with the new production because they worked so well in 2008, he says. The conversations naturally settle on what makes someone your friend. There’s less focus on what makes something art, because Reza is mainly concerned to explore the nature of friendship, using art as a vehicle.

Klingenmeier has two-thirds of the cast he worked with in 2008: Daniel Shock returns as Serge, a man who pays a lot for a white-on-white painting he’s quite fond of, and Larry Adams as Marc, his friend, who is deeply skeptical of the purchase, putting a strain on the friendship. The newcomer is Clay Mabbitt as Yvan, a fun-to-be-with, eager-to-please friend of Serge’s who is drawn into the conflict.

Carmel Theatre Company is in its second season at the 70-seat Studio 15 in Carmel’s Arts and Design District. In that location, the troupe succeeds Carmel Repertory Theatre, which has disbanded.

A retired postal worker long active in community theater, Klingenmeier has a stage background stemming from his

college years in California. He is no stranger to professional theater, but when he wanted to focus on his family years ago, he took 13 years off from the stage. Normally, one directing assignment and one acting gig annually worked best for him when he held a job as a letter carrier in Noblesville.

His first stage appearance after moving to the Indianapolis area came with “Shadowlands” at the Edyvean Repertory Theatre (now defunct) about 20 years ago. His local directing involvement began in 1997, directing “Butterflies Are Free” in Westfield.

When he turned 65 a year ago, “I decided to stop striving,” he said. He wanted to step aside from having the same kind of intensity he was used to summoning as an actor, so discontinued working with an agent. Along the way, he prepared to stop directing as well.

“I’m rounding off this part of my life,” he said in an interview. “Directing is a heavy load,” often increased in community theater by several other responsibilities a production’s director needs to take on. Klingenmeier has designed and built sets, for example, and for “Art” designed the poster and is handling publicity.

He is remaining active in performing arts by shifting his skills to directing, producing and writing videos for the Indiana University Dental School. The continuing series focuses on ethical dilemmas in dentistry, and his schedule includes seven more before the series is complete.

This has given Klingenmeier stimulating work he can sink his teeth into, so to speak. But the siren call of live theater may still attract him, he concedes.

“I will be acting more in the future if I read a play that grabs me,” he promised.

What: Carmel Theatre Company production of “Art,” by Yasmina Reza.

When: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 2:30 p.m. Sundays; Feb. 26 through March 15.

Where: Studio 15, 15 First Ave. NE, Carmel.

Tickets: 688-8876; www.carmeltheatrecompany.com.

Although the Indianapolis Opera has been shut down for nearly a year, Kevin Patterson is optimistic about the organization’s future.

The Carmel resident was named the general director of the Indianapolis Opera leadership earlier this month.

“The unique opportunity for Indianapolis Opera is it is essentially starting with a clean slate,” Patterson said. “That gives the company the opportunity to do a lot of things that other opera companies and arts organizations aren’t able to do.”

Kevin Indianapolis Opera shut down for the 2014-15 season with the last performance in March 2014.

“It’s been dark while it been assessing its future,” Patterson said.

“Unlike many arts companies, Indianapolis Opera has no debt and has working capital in the bank for programming in the future. We have a strong base of loyal donors and we are thankful for our foundation funders for hanging with us during this time.”

Patterson, who grew up in Indianapolis, had been the executive director of the Anchorage Opera before leaving that post on July 30 to return with his wife and daughter to Indianapolis area to work as a consultant for non-profit groups. Patterson wanted to return to be closer to relatives.

“When you move to Alaska, people say that’s wonderful we’ll visit you,” said the 46-year-old Patterson, a graduate of Warren Central High School and the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. “In reality no one ever does. It’s like flying to Europe.”

Patterson also has been the general director of the Austin (Texas) Lyric Opera.

Patterson said many of the non-profit art organizations he had been consulting with have severe problems.

“They’re still producing but the business model is just crushing them,” Patterson said. “They have to figure how to get out of the business model without alienating their audiences with something that is radically different.”

Patterson said Indianapolis Opera has the ability to re-work the model in a way that works well for audience and the company. Patterson said shutting down was the best decision the Indianapolis Opera could have made.

“More companies would benefit from stopping and say hold on a minute rather than hurdling forward,” Patterson said. “What gets a lot of art organizations in trouble is they feel beholden to putting on the next season. They get on a train that doesn’t have any brakes and they feel they have to keep going.

“Thanks to the generosity of the Lilly Endowment, a donor base and some successful fundraisers, we were able to stop and say what is our future and what do we want it to be. It is going to pay some pretty significant dividends as we move forward over the next 12 to 18 months.”

Patterson said there will be programming in 2015 and hopes to announce calendar dates and announcements in March. Patterson said the challenge is build new audiences.

The performance and production side shut down, but Patterson said many on the administrative side kept working.

“People who come Indianapolis Opera are going to see performances in new venues,” Patterson said. “They’re going to see new operas they’ve not seen before. They are going to see new performers and directors they’ve not seen before. As opposed to having a traditional season that starts in November and ends in April, we’re going to focus on year-round programming.”

KICK OFF THE WEEKEND WITH ART / March 6, 6-9 pm / FREE Join us on First Friday for the opening of Art as Therapy.

Throughout the evening, Gina Baird, a featured artist and board certified therapist who has been practicing art therapy for more than 19 years, will lead a “healing stones” community art activity using glass stones and collage materials. She and other artists will be available to discuss their works and how art creates therapeutic experiences. No need to get on a couch—just unplug and create with us.

ART THERAPY MEDICINE BAG WORKSHOP / March 12, 6-9 pm / $30 Noblesville artist Kandi Jamieson of Arthouse will ask, “What do you need to bring on your journey?” during a reflective Project Party designed to complement our Art as Therapy exhibit. In Native American cultures, medicine men or shaman of some tribes commonly use medicine bags. On March 12, you can put a modern, Western-medicine twist on the tradition by filling an IV bag with items of healing.

Balance omegas for a healthier you Commentary by Cory Black Omega fatty acids are essential for our health and support everything from healthy joints to brain function and a happy nutrition mood. Both Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s are considered essential and must be obtained from our diets, as our bodies cannot produce them.

Besides supporting smooth skin and healthy joints, Omega 3’s are especially important for heart health and fighting heart disease. They even have the benefit of cancer prevention, such as breast cancer, as they moderate inflammation and inflammation and cancer have been found to go hand in hand.

But did you know that with too many Omega 6 fatty acids we start canceling out the benefit of Omega 3’s? A healthy ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 is around 4 to 1, but our western diets are often in the range of 20 or even 30 to 1. What are some of the reasons many of our diets are skewed?

One reason is the abundant use of corn in

feed for beef and poultry. Unfortunately, what the cow eats is what it passes on and corn has omega ratios as high as 50 to 1. Our diets often include fried and processed food that uses corn oil, safflower oil, non-trans fat margarines. All of these sources raise the ratio of Omega 6’s in our diet and should be limited.

It’s why it’s worth it to switch to grass fed meats, where the livestock gets a more natural food source.

Incorporate more cold water fish such as salmon, which has almost a perfect balance of essential fatty acids.

Make sure we have a daily source of essential fatty acids, which we can get in high amounts from cold water fish or a fish oil supplement. But make sure your diet is not canceling out all of the great benefits.

Onions for healthy hair – Onions are a good way to boost hair growth because they contain sulfur, which increases blood circulation to the scalp. Put one or two onions in your food processor or juicer. Apply the juice to dry hair and rub into the scalp. Put on a shower cap and wait 30 minutes, then wash your hair. Do this three times per week and you should see results within six to eight weeks. Source: Naturalon.com Cholesterol not so bad – Go ahead and eat that fried egg.

The people, places and organizations that make Noblesville special will be on display when the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce will host its annual A Taste of Business from 4:30 chamber to 7:30 p.m. March 3 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

“It really is a community showcase of more than 70 of Noblesville’s businesses and organizations,” said Bob DuBois, chamber president and CEO. “You can learn more about the businesses, community, taste the restaurants and show a little love for Noblesville.”

This is the 14th year the chamber has hosted the event.

“It has grown each and every year the event has been held,” DuBois said. “People can expect a Taste of Business sequel. We’ve chosen not to change it up a whole lot. There’s plenty to see and people to see.”

DuBois said the event includes entertainment, door prizes every half hour and a wide range of booths. He said there are 12 restaurants participating from casual to fine dining.

“It’s a who’s who gathering in Noblesville,” DuBois said. “The family can bring the kids out to learn more about Noblesville. They can meet a banker and learn about a checking account. It’s a nice way for kids to get interested in business.”

DuBois said tickets are $7 at the door and $5 in advance. Tickets may be purchased online at www.noblesvillechamber.com or at the chamber office, 601 E. Conner St.; Angie Sutton State Farm Insurance Agent, 5540 Pebble Village Lane; of Perkins Restaurant at Hamilton Town Center.

“They get paid $2 for downloading the free app,” he said.

‘Should like’ or ‘would like’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “I enjoy your column very much in Current in Carmel. Is it ungrammatical to use the word ‘would’ in the grammar guy phrase, ‘I would like to…?’

Everyone says that but I have been told that such is redundant; rather, one should use ‘should’ instead of ‘would’ in the phrase if you include ‘like.’” – (Clyde Crockett, Carmel) Answer: That’s an interesting question, Clyde.

It’s got a very Tolkien-esque sound to it, does it not?

In the wake of the Brian Williams scandal, I should perhaps come clean right off the bat and say the Tolkien association comes from searching “I should like” and finding nothing but “Fellowship of the Ring” quotes for pages. You’ll recognize Bilbo Baggins’ famous farewell speech: “I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”

Anyway, I digress.

Tolkien was an Oxford man through and through, so it seems only right I look to the Oxford English Dictionary for some clarification on

this one. Unfortunately, it’s of two minds.

Acknowledging confusion of the very sort you’re asking about, Oxford says this: “The traditional rule is that ‘should’ is used with first person pronouns (I and we) and ‘would’ is used with second and third persons (you, he, she, it, they).

That would all be nice and tidy, except even Oxford admits no one adheres to that anymore.

The Oxford Learner’s Dictionary has this to say on the matter: “In modern English, the traditional difference between ‘should’ and ‘would’ in reported sentences, conditions, requests, etc. has disappeared and ‘should’ is not used very much at all.”

My feeling is the same as yours – everyone says “I would like...” these days. Save your “should likes” for Hobbit holes and heated arguments about which Beatles album is the best.

(It’s the White Album – and don’t even bother arguing that it’s “Sgt. Pepper’s.” I won’t hear of it.)

To prevent onion breath – Eat side dishes rich in parsley, mustard seeds or fennel, which can dilute the sulfur by-products in onions. After eating onions, chew sugarless gum—especially strawberry flavor, which raises saliva production more than other flavors. Saliva helps dilute the sulfur-containing compounds. - HouseholdMagicDailyTips.com To brighten whites – Fill a sink with warm water, and add one-quarter cup of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent. Add your dingy whites and swish them around. Let them soak for one hour and then launder as usual. - HouseholdMagicDailyTips.com

Commentary by Don Knebel The Cappadocia region of central Turkey, home to Christian communities since the second century, includes dozens of churches travel carved inside the area’s unique volcanic rock formations. An eleventh century fresco in one church honored St. George, a favorite son, and originated an iconic image seen in churches around the world.

St. George was apparently born in about 275 A.D. in Lydda, Palestine, where his Cappadocian father had met his mother while serving in the Roman army. George, raised a Christian, became an officer in the military guard of Emperor Diocletian. In 303, Diocletian ordered his officers to repudiate Christianity or face death. When George refused to renounce his beliefs, he was tortured and then beheaded. Emperor Constantine, who legalized Christianity in 312, reportedly ordered a church built in Lydda to honor George, who became a saint in 494. Over time, St. George became associated with a medieval legend in which a maiden-devouring dragon terrorized a pagan village. As the story went, George slew the dragon and the grateful villagers all converted to Christianity.

In the 11th century, numerous Byzantine churches were built within the soft, cone-shaped rocks of Cappadocia. Frescoes, still colorful because of the absence of direct sunlight, decorated many of them. One fresco on a curved wall in the so-called

Eleventh century Cappadocian fresco of St. George. (Photo by Don Knebel)

“Snake Church” (Yılanlı Kilise) honors St. George, whose father was raised nearby. The fresco portrays a haloed and armored George, sitting astride a festooned white horse and gouging a snakelike dragon with his lance. St. George is accompanied in the fresco, perhaps the earliest illustration of the legend, by St. Theodore of Amasea, a less well-known Christian martyr also associated with dragon slaying. Crusaders passing through Cappadocia took the story of St. George and the dragon back to Europe, with the dragon often assumed to represent Satan.

LifeGuard Carpeting means heavy amounts of liquid are unable to soak through. (Submitted photo)

Shaw LifeGuard carpeting stain-proof Commentary by David Decker So, you’ve decided to renovate your home and install some new carpeting. There’s a lot to consider in terms of construction, indoors material and functionality. Where should you begin? Well, one of the biggest drawbacks of carpeting is the fact that stains and spills can cause permanent damage to the carpet or to the cushion underneath.

So, if you’re currently sharing a home with pets, children or housemates that are accident prone, a stain-proof carpet option may be worth a look.

Stain-proof carpet is specially made carpet that repels dirt, liquids and other messes (including pet accidents). Generally, this is achieved by treating the carpet with some kind of topical chemical coating. At the Affordable Companies, we are always on the lookout for standout products to spotlight and recommend to our clients.

Recently, Shaw Floors have debuted a new stainproof carpet called LifeGuard, which features an innovative liquid-blocking design. Many stainproof carpets come with a chemical coating that protects the fibers of the carpet from liquids, dirt and other spills. However, those liquids and spills can quickly soak through the carpet where they find a permanent home in the carpet cushion.

Carpets treated with Shaw’s LifeGuard system have a built-in barrier that also shields the back-

ing or cushion as well.

With LifeGuard, even heavy amounts of liquid are unable to soak through and cause damage to your padding or subfloor. This means you will not have to worry about unwanted odors from mildew or pet accidents permeating through your carpeting. And the added layer of protection in the backing means that it will not wear down like carpets only treated topically.

Installing the new carpet is a fairly simple process, because the carpet is more flexible than other models. This makes it easier to manipulate, stretch, trim and slide into place. Additionally, cold temperatures will not affect the installation process, which is good news during these chilly winter days.

Replacing your flooring is a savvy way to add value to your home, especially when you select a durable option like stain-proof carpeting. See for yourself. Visit youtu.be/PQJ9RBOI_gM to see a video of the LifeGuard carpeting in action. Products will be hitting stores soon.
