Conner receives new contract

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Noblesville School Board has approved a 6 percent pay raise for Noblesville Schools Supt. Dr. Libbie Conner and placed the district Schools in a favorable position if she decides to retire early.

During its Feb. 18 meeting, the school board discussed two major provisions to Conner’s contract – a salary base increase and retirement incentive. Conner’s current contract expires June 30, 2015.

The 6 percent increase brings Connor Conner’s annual salary to $166,632.

With the increase, Asst. Supt. Steve Stephanoff said Noblesville still is behind other neighboring school corporations as Carmel Clay’s superintendent, Dr. Nicholas Wahl, at $195,000; Hamilton Southeastern Supt.t, Dr. Brian Smith, makes $170,000 with $40,000 in incentives; and the new Lawrence Township superintendent is being paid $175,000.

“Dr. Conner’s salary is in the ballpark but certainly lower than most,” he said.

Conner, a former principal at Noblesville Middle School, became superintendent in July 2009. Her contract was $150,000 at the time. Stephanoff said district administrators have received an 8 percent salary increase since 2011 while Conner’s pay has not increased.

Stephanoff said Conner’s pay increased to $157,200 when the state board of accounts removed car usage for school administrators – a cost neutral move.

“Six percent is 1.2 percent a year (since she started),” School Board President Pat Berghoff. “Most people have received a raise in the last five years.

She has not.”

A retirement incentive states that if Conner provides 90-days advanced written retirement notice for a retirement to be effective on or before Sept.15 and retires on or before that date, then she will be paid $25,000. The completion of her salary will be on the effective date of retirement.

Land to retire

John Land, a longtime educator and leader in Noblesville Schools, will retire at the end of the school year. Land was principal at Conner Elementary for five years before being the only principal at Hazel Dell Elementary since it opened in 1989. Assistant Superintendent Steve Stephanoff said the district is only Land looking internally to fill the position. Officials plan to interview those interested in March before making a recommendation to the school board.

“We have a lot of good assistant principals and talent inside the school system,” School Board President Pat Berghoff said.

Berghoff said state changes in pension compensation mean retirement proceeds will be less than they are now. He reiterated that Conner has made no announcement of retirement plans “We want to get out in front should she decide to retire this year,” Berghoff said. “Because the changes to pension collection is so dramatic it becomes a distinct possibility. Is it eminent? No. If it does happen we want to get out in front of it.”

The amendments to Conner’s contract were passed 4-1 with school board member Gary Duvall casting the lone dissenting vote. Duvall said that while Conner and other administrators worked hard, so to do other Noblesville Schools teachers and staff.

“I can’t justify in my mind how we can give 6 percent and a $25,000 incentive,” he said.

Conner was ill and did not attend the meeting or comment on her contract.

A complete copy of the contract is available on the school district’s website, www.noblesvilleschools. org.

Rebalancing plan in board’s hands

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville School Board members have a month to decide if they endorse the proposed plan to relocate some of the Schools district’s elementary students.

Due to large increases in enrollment at two elementary schools, the Noblesville School Board and district administration appointed a rebalancing committee to look at adjusting enrollment districts to accommodate the growth at those schools. Promise Road has 759 students and Noble Crossing has 682. Each has capacity for 730 students.

The plan presented to the board includes moving the following neighborhoods: • Rivers Edge Apartments from Noble Crossing to North.

• The area bounded by Conner, Hannibal and

10th streets and Ind. 37 to move from Stony Creek to North.

• Fox Glen and Arbor Grove from Promise Road to Stony Creek.

• Monarch Springs, Fishers Oakwood and other students east of Promise Road and north of Ind. 32 or east of Ind. 37 and north of 186th Street from Promise Road to White River.

The committee presented its proposal at forums at all seven elementary schools during January and early February to allow for community feedback. It was presented to the school board at its Feb. 18 meeting and may be adopted at the March 18 meeting.

The last time the district rebalanced elementary schools not during redistricting was when Forest Hill closed in 2011.

Soccer merger talks end

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com After several months of discussions, talks between Noblesville United Soccer Club and Westfield Youth Soccer AssociaSchools tion have broken off – meaning Noblesville will not join the ranks of Carmel United Soccer and play under the MLS Chicago Fire affiliation of Indiana Fire Jr.’s at the soon-to-be opened Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield.

NUSC Board of Directors President Jim Goodwin said Noblesville and Westfield were in talks for nearly nine months about merging.

“The attraction of two community travel clubs joining to occupy a brand new facility located 10 minutes from downtown Noblesville was a very intriguing venture,” he said. “We didn’t know they were talking to Carmel at the same time.”

Goodwin said the meetings began with the premise of NUSC and WYSA merging the travel programs and maintaining separate community recreation programs with the idea that each inhouse program would receive generous amounts of training time from the travel organization and in return become the exclusive feeder program of the new entity. Two weeks ago, Goodwin said NUSC was told, “merge the entire club or nothing.”

“We’d keep the name, but Westfield Youth Soccer would have owned Noblesville Youth Soccer,” he said. “Westfield controlling a Noblesville-based com-

The Noblesville United Soccer Club offers recreation (in-house) soccer to kids ages 4 to 18. The program is geared to the soccer player that wants to come out and enjoy/ learn the game and have fun with their friends, as opposed to the travel program which is geared to the more competitive side of the program. March 2 is the deadline to register for the spring season. For more information, visit www.noblesvilleunited. com or e-mail admin@noblesvilleunited. com.

munity program was not the right path to take.”

Goodwin said the board of directors did what was best for Noblesville, but it could have consequences.

“It won’t hurt the program as it sits today,” he said. “Come tryouts in June, will they still remain in Noblesville or try the shiny new toy down the street.”

While the affiliation with the Chicago Fire along with playing at the new Grand Park would have been a great opportunity to help make NUSC an even more elite club, Goodwin said the board is working on plans for an indoor facility and possibly some additional land.

“If something else comes up that’s attractive, we’ll look into it,” Goodwin said.

Wings Etc. opening in Noblesville

By Kristen Yates • news@currentnoblesville.com

With a stroke of luck and perhaps a little fate, John Dompier joined the Wings Etc. family as the new owner of the Noblesville business location. After several years of experience as the owner of Hubler Express Collision at its five Indianapolis locations, his path crossed with the company, a friendship was struck, and a new business was born.

Dompier is excited to announce the opening of this new location at 135 Sheridan Rd. on March 4, with the help of his staff, including general manager Michele Dick, and assistant manager Jessica Hood.

“It’s in a great location and I expect we will have a great lunch and dinner rush. There is nothing else like in this area,” Dompier said.

As the name suggests, there is more than just wings on the menu at this family oriented restaurant. Wings Etc. is not only known for its 17year streak for best wings in Indiana, but other features on the menu including burgers, salads, wraps, chicken, flat bread pizzas, and the famous “Home Wrecker Hotdog.”

“There are so many good choices it’s hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to choose, the Cowboy burger or the Jalapeno burger are my favorites,” Dompier said.

Apart from the everyday menu, Dompier said the restaurant plans to keeps its customers coming back with daily food and drink specials seven days a week. For those of you looking

Final writing contest guideline news@currentnoblesville.com

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

As one of its rules, the contest mandates that the story must incorporate four required elements, one of which will be released every week in February in “Current in Noblesville.”

The Polk Street Grasshopper says the fourth and final requirement in the NCAC Armchair Detective Contest pays homage to him, Aesop’s symbol of music, play, living in the moment and idleness. In Aesop’s fable, the Grasshopper sings and plays all summer long while the ants toil to prepare for winter. In Aesop’s original version, the Grasshopper finds himself dying of hunger

while the ants are safe and sound with plenty of food. More recent versions have the ants take in the Grasshopper come wintertime. They discover they need him and the joy and amusement he provides. In honor of himself, the Grasshopper decries that the last requirement is that your story must mention an instrument.

(Notice – The Grasshopper doesn’t say the instrument must be incorporated in any particular way.)

For more details and former guidelines, visit www.currentnoblesville.com.

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

An awards ceremony will be held on April 19.

Needle crafters share the warmth editorial@youarecurrent.com

This winter’s frigid temperatures couldn’t chill the kindness of area crafters. More than 100 hats and gloves or mittens philanthropy were recently donated to Good Samaritan, in response to the first customer challenge at Always In Stitches’ year-long Make a Difference campaign.

“I am so thankful for the needle crafters Make a Difference program and for their outstanding contribution of hats, gloves, and mittens to Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County Inc.,” Nancy Chance, executive director, stated. “It is perfect timing with the weather that Hamilton County has been experiencing the last four weeks and the calls for assistance we have been experiencing.”

Items were handmade or purchased new and will benefit all ages, from toddlers to adults.

Throughout 2014, the quilting, fabric and yarn shop at 1808 E. Conner St. is challenging customers to donate items for a specific local or national charity. In February, the challenge is to provide 20 pet blankets for the Humane Society for Hamilton County. In March, the call is for 50 blankets for critically ill children through Project Linus.

“Our customers are very giving of their talents,” stated Capi Saxton, shop manager. “For Make a Difference, we’ve identified items that can be made with materials most needle workers already have at home. They’re also things people that don’t sew, knit or crochet can buy for little cost. Each item, though, is valued by the person who receives it.”

Donations may be dropped off at Always In Stitches. The shop is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Saturday and stays open until 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. It is closed Sunday.

Samantha and Nicole share what 4-H means to them at the annual volunteer banquet in November.

10-year 4-H members Nicole and Samantha Boram share their experiences

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com March 1 is the deadline for youth grades 3 through 12 to enroll in the 2014 Hamilton County 4-H program. For Hamilton cover story Southeastern High School senior, Samantha Boram, the decision was easy to sign up for the first time in 2005.

“For me, 4-H has been a tradition because of my family’s involvement,” the 18-year-old Noblesville resident said. “Before I started, I knew I was going to be a 10-year 4-H member.”

Boram has been involved in sewing, fashion revue, fine arts, sheep and Junior Leaders throughout her 10-year 4-H tenure in Hamilton County.

“I’m trying to go out with a bang. I’m in two 4-H clubs (Fishers Showstoppers and Hamilton County Jr. Sheep Association) and I’m a 4-H Camp counselor,” she said. In addition to her sewing skills, which earned her one of three 4-H Achievement Award at the volunteer banquet in November, Boram said Jr. Leaders has improved her confidence since she started the project.

“Definitely my leadership skills have changed a lot. I’ve been more of a leader in my school,” she said, adding she is a senior class officer at HSE. Samantha has participated in the sheep project for the past nine years.

“All of the projects are rewarding, but the sheep project is the hardest work and where I put the most time into the project,” she said.

Her proudest achievement was winning the 2012 Good Shepherd Award through the sheep project for being a great leader in the barn through her work ethic and leadership to young kids.

“Usually it’s reserved for 10-year members. She got it in her eighth year,” Nicole Boram, Samantha’s mother, said.

The county fair is the culmination of a year’s work on 4-H projects. For Boram, she tries to soak in every moment of the week and is usually at the 4-H fairgrounds from 6 a.m. to 10 or 11 p.m. daily.

“I’ve been kicked out before,’ Samantha said.

“It’s the best week ever – win or lose.”

“It’s by choice,” Nicole said. “They don’t want to

leave.”

Samantha plans to attend Purdue University and study agriculture sales and marketing in the fall. She said the friendships made over her 10 years was her favorite part of 4-H. Samantha encourages anyone interested to participate in 4-H. “It’s a place where everyone can get involved no matter what they are interested in, to create friendships in and make yourself better,” she said.

“I’d tell them it’s real important to take as many projects as you can to find your interests out and you should stick with it through the difficult and stressful times because it will pay off in the end.”

Starting the trend

The Boram family tradition in 4-H began with Nicole’s father, Lynn.

“My dad would have been a 10-year member but his father died and he had to farm. He was not able to finish the 10 years here in Hamilton County,” she said.

Nicole was involved in 4-H in Hamilton County from 1980 to 1989. In 1988, Nicole was crowned the Hamilton County 4-H Fair queen.

“When I was in, it was a big deal to do the queen pageant. Everyone who was eligible did it,” she said.

Nicole, her sister, brother, niece, nephew and oldest child, Samantha, are all 10-year members.

Her other two children, Sabrina and Brant, are on their way as well.

“She’s getting a lot of the same experiences I did. Being in the same county, this is what I remember and love,” Nicole said. “It’s the same show arena we were in, but I didn’t have animals.

It’s a huge feeling of pride, especially with sheep.

They do it all; I don’t know anything about them.”

Nicole said 4-H is not just about the lifelong skills learned or friendships created but the work ethic instilled in participants through their projects.

“I’m a teacher (at Riverside Jr. High School) and know a lot of the programs out there. I don’t know of a program that teaches hard work pays off more than 4-H does. It’s also about family first,” she said. “It teaches kids to work hard, learning by doing, and you get out what you put

in. You have to work hard to get out what you want.”

“It teaches balancing time and prioritizing, not to procrastinate,” Samantha said.

Enrolling in �-H

4-H is an informal educational program in which youth “Learn by Doing.” Youth can learn life skills such as cooperation, leadership, decision-making, responsibility and more through hands-on projects in more than 60 different subject areas.

“There are so many options people can choose from. There is something for everyone,” Peterson Hamilton County 4-H Executive Director Susan Peterson said. “The higher numbers of enrollment are not in livestock.”

Hamilton County ranked as one of the largest programs last year with approximately 2,000 4-H’ers. Peterson said the enrollment fee is $25 with a maximum of $75 per family. Mini 4-H, for first and second grade students, does not have an enrollment fee. Those interested in enrolling can stop by the Purdue Extension Hamilton County office on the 4-H Grounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville, or visit www.ag.purdue.edu/counties/ hamilton.

“This is all about the life skills,” Peterson said.

“Kids are exposed to a lot of things they might not be learning anywhere else. For kids it’s the fun of discovering and having a good time.”

March 1 is the enrollment deadline for reenrolling youth, but members can still sign up afterwards. However, the highest placing they can receive for projects at the county 4-H fair is a blue ribbon, and they are not eligible to advance to the state fair. Because the deadline falls on the weekend, Peterson said enrollment cards will be accepted late.

“We will take them through the business day March 3,” she said.

The Hamilton County 4-H Fair is July 17 through 22. For more information, call 776-0854.

Bret Boram Award – The Boram family honors the loss of one of its family members and the hard work and leadership of current 10-year members annually with the Bret Boram Award. The award is named after Nicole’s brother who was killed 12 years ago in a snowmobile accident. Her sister, Dani Robinson, said that since he was not married, the overwhelming donations the Borams received from the community went to start the award. “When Bret passed away, people were wanting to donate to something,” Nicole said. “He wasn’t an athlete or involved in school. 4-H was where he was able to be himself. This was his place.” The award is based on nominations, which can come only from Ag teachers and 4-H leaders and volunteers. Nicole said one of the criteria is that the nominee must have done a project during their 4-H tenure in one of the same areas as Boram – woodworking, electric, swine or Junior Leaders. “Dad was the one that engineered the award. My sister and I present it,” she said.

“You cannot apply for it. You have to be nominated for it.”

Samantha prepares to begin the 4-H Sheep shearing contest in 2008.

Nicole Boram won the 1986 State Fashion Revue and went to Chicago to compete in the National 4-H Congress.

FROM THE EDITOR Summers past and present

Enough of winter; it’s time for music!

Stop thinking about the soggy, chilly conditions we continue to endure long enough to consider what the City of Noblesville Parks Dept. Noblesville has in store. It’ll warm your soul. The department has announced its summer concert series at Dillon Park and Forest Park, and the lineup is a great one, in our humble estimation. Living Proof get the season started on May 29, the Bishops take the stage June 5, Seth Bradley plays on June 12, Dave & Rae on June 19 and My Yellow Rickshaw on June 26. The series breaks briefly for the July 4 holiday weekend, but it resumes at Forest Park with Zanna-Doo on July 10, Jordan Carter on July 17, 8 Miles High on July 24 and Paul Butler as “Elvis” is the series closer on July 31. We urge you to take in as many shows as possible. For information, visit www.noblesvilleparks.org.

••• Inside today’s paper you’ll find our annual Summer Camps guide. We sincerely hope it will be of good use to you. Attendant to that is Current Kids’ Day at the Center for the Performing Arts on March 1. It will be a family centric day loaded with activities and performances, some fee-based, others free. We urge you to attend and visit with a number of exhibitors you’ll find in the lobbies of the Palladium and the Booth Tarkington Theatre. For more information, please visit www.thecenterpresents.org.

••• New Jersey Gov. Rick Christie last week conducted his 100th town meeting. Some governors don’t have one in four years. Now, before you go thinking it’s all about the 2016 campaign, think again. He has brought about REAL change (as a Republican, no less!) in a state that previously had shown a certain restraint for such. He says he cares, and he shows he cares. Maybe he actually will be the one to sideswipe Hillary Clinton and gain the presidency.

A driving concern

Commentary by Terry Anker

Like many Americans, I spend way too much time in my car. Offices are scattered across a two county area and we have yet to fully adapt to video conferencing as an alternative to oldschool drive time. Certainly, face-to-face communication is superior to the over-the-wire kind, but it does demand more than a moment behind the wheel. Public transportation is big in some towns. And many boast of a highly developed private operation too. Cabs and companies like Uber meet the needs of commuters moving around without the benefit of a personal vehicle.

We residents of Central Indiana remain somewhat constrained in our options. So like so many of my fellow Hoosiers, I work to make the best of a suboptimal situation. During the drive time, I schedule return calls (yes, I use Bluetooth and take extra caution trying to restrict my calls to highway time) and plan ahead to have a problem that requires thought. With the radio switched off, the quiet allows for one to ponder in a way

that is nearly impossible in a busy office or home. But even with careful preparation, there are occasions during the week when the road and radio are my only compatriots.

Why is it that my regard for a cause is significantly reduced if the driver in front of me with a bumper sticker or two proclaiming to be a protagonist for the issue is a terrible driver? Why do we disdain people who drive erratically because they are: drinking hot coffee, eating a sandwich, talking on the phone, looking for something in the backseat, caring for a dog/child/stuffed animal, reading a book, putting on makeup, or just generally disinterested in the task (all things I’ve seen personally) – and yet why don’t we hold ourselves to the same standard?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Humor is also a way of saying something serious.

- T.S. Eliot

From a first-year Boy Scout fresh from Webelos to an 18-year-old Eagle Scout, when I was younger, summers revolved around Boy Scout Camp. I can remember the jitters of being a first time camper – getting lost on trails, living off the candy at the trading post since the camp food was inedible and the eventual bout of home sickness. But as I matured and grew older, so did my confidence.

That’s the great thing about camp experiences – meeting new people, learning new skills and gaining new experiences. What I remember most is my growth. I might have been shy that first year, but I soon opened up and met a lot of good people. I went from asking older Scouts for help to dispensing advice.

Success was transformed from the number of merit badges I earned to watching younger Scouts achieve theirs because of my assistance. Some skills I learned will stay with me forever; others probably didn’t last longer than the stay at camp (like basket weaving).

The Summer Camp Guide in this edition offers options for preschool to high school senior to enrich their time off from school. The purpose is pretty simple: to provide a comprehensive listing of what is out there. From sports camps to 4-H, learning Latin to model rockets, it’s amazing what offerings are available in Hamilton County and surrounding areas.

As we start to see green grass again, it’s not too early to think about summer – especially when it means time at the pool and bonfires with s’mores.

Teenage sons: Sweet and sour Commentary by Danielle Wilson

My husband called the other day and asked, “Can I punch our 15-year-old son?” “Sure,” I replied. “Just don’t hit him in the humor face.” Of course, we were joking - no need to call CPS, fans - but honestly, teenage boys are a nightmare.

Take the aforementioned kid. He questions every single word Doo and I say, including but not limited to our tips for better organization and time management, our pleas for daily showering and deodorizing, and our advice for academic success through actual homework completion.

He never admits to wrongdoing of any kind. Ever.

And when asked to do something, anything, he whines as if being tortured. Can you really blame us for wanting to smack him upside the head?

True, he does have a sweet side (he gives awesome hugs and is very gentle with his young cousins), but his aptitude for tenderness and compassion is usually overshadowed by his propensity for butthole-ishness. Literally, his entire personality just revealed itself in the last halfhour as I was typing: He offered to play chess with his 12-year-old brother (sweet), but couldn’t resist dismissing the game and his opponent when, for the first time ever, he was forced to a draw (dork).

The saving grace is that he seems to act this

way only outside our humble abode. Teachers, grandparents and random adults find him polite, mature and genuinely likeable. Which is, I suppose, the way we want it. If he’s going to behave like an ass, we prefer he do so in private.

I’m not a teenage boy, nor have I ever been, but I just can’t understand why he finds it so hard to be pleasant with us, his adoring family. Of course, I’ve heard worse about teenage girls, of whom I have two looming, but those I can handle.

It’s this boy thing I don’t get. He is driving me bonkers with his disrespectful tone and arrogant manner. And punishments don’t seem to work for very long. Yes, he’ll be an angel while we hold his phone hostage; but a week later, he’ll be back to hotly debating the logic of the chore chart or his bedtime on “Walking Dead” night.

Clearly a mother’s love is an amazing thing.

The fact that I still kind of like my teenager says a lot about my patience. But I must admit I found Doo’s phone call hilarious and somewhat comforting. It’s not just I who thinks teenage boys are a nightmare!

Peace out.

The Temptations will bring their nostalgic array of soul music to the Palladium on Feb. 27 for a live performance. (Submitted photos)

Feb. 27, Mowtown icons wil be there

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Get ready, ‘cause here they come.

Surely there’s no better cure for the winter blues than a warm dose of soul. So music plan to get your groove on at the Palladium on Feb. 27 as the Temptations and the Four Tops roll into Carmel.

The Temptations are, as always, five singers strong, led by Otis Williams, who founded the group in 1961. They were among Motown’s musical trailblazers and their current lineup is still going strong.

Their first hit song, “The Way You Do the Things You Do” came a few years later, and their first number one hit, “My Girl,” came shortly after. Their songs, together with the music of the Beatles, changed the direction of the popular music of the 1960s.

In the years to come, Williams kept the group together and led an ever-rotating roster of singers to more hits, including “Get Ready, ‘Cause Here I Come,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and “I Wish it Would Rain.”

The modern-day Temptations are comprised of Williams, along with Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Joe Herndon and Bruce Williamson. As they celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first hit song, they have released a new album, appropriately

From left: The Four Tops current lineup includes Ronnie McNeir, Roquel Payton, Abdul ‘Duke’ Fakir and Harold Bonhart.

titled, Still Here, which continues to offer their signature brand of silky-smooth harmonies and laid-back cool.

As if these five powerhouse vocalists with an amazing five-piece band aren’t enough to heat things up, the Temptations will be joined by another legendary group, The Four Tops.

According to John Hughey, spokesman for the Center for the Performing Arts, the two groups started touring together in 2007 and have been a very popular combination.

The Four Tops also got their start right in the ’60s, crafting songs with similar smooth harmonies, and adding a polished, choreographed sheen to the Detroit street corner doo-wop

music of their youth. Their hits included “I Can’t Help Myself,” “Baby, I Need Your Lovin’” and “Reach Out (I’ll Be There.”)

The original Four Tops sang together from 1953 through 1997 until Lawrence Payton died.

The group has continued with several personnel replacements, including Payton’s son, Roquel.

Abdul “Duke” Fakir is the only original surviving member.

“All through high school and college, there were a lot of dances centered around Motown music,” said Randy Sorrell, who is attending the concert with his wife Kim. “When ‘Get Ready’ started to play, the whole dance floor filled up and every single person was singing along. It just doesn’t get any better than that. The music is timeless; still relevant today.”

“We saw Smoky Robinson when he was at the Palladium, and it was impossible to stay in your seat,” Sorrell continued. “I imagine this night will be much the same. We can’t wait. We’ll start our night at divvy, then hit the show, and then see where the night takes us after that!”

Community named Healthiest 100 editorial@youarecurrent.com

Healthiest Employers, the leader in employee health analytics, best practices and benchmark data, has announced the achievement induction of Community Health Network into the 2014 Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America. Every one of these employers has achieved remarkable and sustainable success through a broad range of corporate wellness programs and employee wellness initiatives.

Community Health Network attained this recognition as the culmination of a year-long, highly selective two-stage assessment process spanning the United States—to include companies of all sizes from all regions and industries.

“Community’s mission is to enhance the health and well-being of those we serve,” stated Steve Zetzl, vice president of Community Employer Health. “We believe a critical step in that process is to enhance the health and well-being of our own employees. From health screenings

and employee fitness centers, to digital coaching, cooking demonstrations, employee health centers and activity challenges, we are committed to providing a variety of programs, tools and incentives to help our employees achieve and maintain the highest level of health possible.”

These state and national awards recognize employers who have comprehensively incorporated the most effective employee wellness programs and practices. The Healthiest 100 have successfully implemented practical, effective and continuously improving corporate wellness strategies for creating a sustainably healthy workplace.

Rod Reasen II, president of Healthiest Employers, stated, “This highly selective award recognizes employers who demonstrate exceptional leadership in using wellness as a strategy to drive workplace productivity, employee health, and community wellbeing. As these employers demonstrate, every organization has a path to the Healthiest 100, regardless of size, industry or geography.”

dispatches Dangers of smartphones – Did you know that excessive use of your cell phone can cause your body harm? Using your smartphone after 9 p.m. can hinder melatonin, the chemical that provides sleep, from the blue light emitted from phones. Using your phone constantly to play games, surf the Internet or watch movies can also lead to a much more sedentary lifestyle than those who spend 90 minutes or less daily on their phones. Keep your phone in your pocket while crossing the street: pedestrians face a higher risk of harm by focusing their attention on their phones while walking by either being struck by a car, or falling off walkways or bridges.

Can Vitamin C ward off a stroke? – French researchers have found that those deficient in vitamin C may be at a greater risk of bleeding in the brain, also known as hemorrhagic stroke.

Although only 15 percent of strokes are hemorrhagic, they are typically deadlier than ischemic strokes, which occur when the blood vessel in the brain is blocked. www. webmd. com

Home sales to surge after thaw Commentary by Jim Litten

• Buyers in Noblesville are noticing fewer options. Last month, 286 homes were available for sale, while 374 homes were on the market in January 2013.

• Home sales are off to a sluggish start. In Noblesville, 64 homes sold in January 2014, down 30.4 percent compared to January 2013. Similarly, home sales declined 31 percent across central Indiana.

The record snowfall and cold temperatures certainly had an impact on home sales in January. However, as soon as we get moderation in the weather, I’m confident sales will break loose.

With home prices reaching $159,391 in January 2014, home sales prices are up 8.6 percent compared to January 2013. real estate Six of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks – including Hamilton County – experienced slightly higher home sales prices than in January 2013. In Hamilton County, January home prices averaged $255,295, up 13.9 percent over January 2013.

• In Noblesville, home sellers continue to benefit from increasing prices. Last month, the average sales price was $181,244, up 0.1 percent from January 2013.

• As the market stabilizes, homes are being purchased at a faster rate. In January 2014, homes in Noblesville stayed on the market an average of 80 days, which is 34 fewer days compared to January 2013.

“The weather is inevitability a large factor in our permit numbers,” said Steve Lains, CEO of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis.

DISPATCHES IRS simplifies home-office deduction – This year's federal income-tax forms include an optional — and simpler — new method to claim this deduction. In the past, people had to fill out a lengthy form and master complex instructions that discouraged some people even from trying. Under the optional new method, people can claim $5 per square foot of space that meets the definition of a qualified home office up to a maximum of 300 square feet. Thus, the maximum amount that can be deducted using this method is $1,500. SOURCE: The Wall Street Journal

CURRENT KIDS DAY AT THE PALLADIUM

Duke Energy reducing power plant portfolio - Duke Energy has initiated a strategic process to exit its Midwest commercial generation business, which includes ownership interests in 13 power plants. None of the plants in question are in Indiana. The Midwest generation business includes 13 power plants with a total capacity of approximately 6,600 megawatts. These plants are owned or partially owned by Duke Energy Ohio and reported in the company’s Commercial Businesses unit. Eleven are located in Ohio, one is in Illinois and one in Pennsylvania. As a result of this announcement, the company will take an estimated pre-tax impairment charge of $1 to $2 billion in the first quarter of 2014. This impairment will be treated as a special item and excluded from Duke Energy’s adjusted diluted earnings per share results.

The Qutb Minar complex in Delhi is one of India’s top attractions, sometimes outdrawing the Taj Mahal. Visitors marvel at travel the tallest, all-brick tower in the world, completed almost 650 years ago, and at an unpainted iron pillar that has not rusted for almost 1700 years.

The Qutb Minar complex is named for Qutb al-Din Aybak, a slave turned general from Afghanistan. He conquered northern India in 1192, destroying at least 27 Hindu and Jain temples in the process. In 1206, Qutb al-Din Aybak declared himself Sultan of Delhi and began building a brick victory tower, incorporating rubble from the demolished temples. When he fell from his polo horse and died in 1210, his successors continued his work. The fluted sandstone tower, adorned with statements from the Quran, finished in 1368, at a height of 238 ft, is nearly 50 feet higher than the contemporaneously constructed tower in Pisa, Italy. With 379 internal steps and 5 circular balconies, Qutb Minar has become a symbol of Delhi.

As the Muslim conquerors under Qutb al-Din Aybak demolished the temples at the site on which they later built Qutb Minar, they intentionally spared a 22 ft tall iron pillar erected in the fourth century to honor Vishnu, a Hindu god.

They spared the 16.4 in diameter pillar because of its apparently magical ability to resist rust, a property scientists now attribute to phosphorus

added by Hindu metallurgists. The rust-free iron pillar is so unusual, people still believe their wishes will be granted if they can encircle the pillar with their arms stretched behind their backs. A fence now protects the pillar from pilgrims seeking to improve their luck.

The beauty and continued existence of Qutb Minar are tributes to its Muslim designers. The nearby iron pillar reflects the genius of Hindu metallurgists. A visit to the Qutb Minar complex reminds us that many cultures have produced

works of lasting importance. A visit also provides an opportunity to bemoan that members of religious traditions still show superiority of their faiths by destroying the holy places of those with different beliefs.

Wake, waken, awake and awaken grow your business now Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I woke up this morning ready to tackle a thorny grammar issue – although maybe I wakened this morning. Ungrammar guy less I awoke. Perhaps I awakened?

I came across this quandary last week. I’d be lying if I said I was immediately 100 percent confident about which word I needed. All four words and their various conjugates have roughly the same meaning: to stop being asleep. Their usages, though, can be much more nuanced.

I was delighted to find that I wasn’t the only person struggling with these verbs. As TheFreeDictionary.com writes, “The pairs wake, waken and awake, awaken have formed a bewildering array since the Middle English period. All four words have similar meanings, though there are some differences in use.”

Since I only have a limited amount of space here, I will focus on the most common of the four – “to wake.” The others may get short thrift.

The primary use of “to wake” is as an intransitive verb (a verb with no direct object) meaning “to cease to sleep.” I woke up. She wakes early. Upon waking, I smelled breakfast cooking downstairs.

“To wake” can also be used transitively (e.g., “The thunderstorm woke me up”). This is where things get muddled. All four words can be used transitively to mean “to rouse (someone/some-

thing) from sleep.” All four are more or less equally acceptable choices in most circumstances. To help you navigate them, here are a few bullet points: • Only “wake” and “waken,” and typically just “wake,” can be paired with the word “up,” as in, “The alarm woke me up at 6 a.m.”

• Although they are not exclusively figurative, “awake” and “awaken” are often used in that sense. E.g., “I awoke to the possibilities,” or “The national anthem awakened their inner patriot.”

• In American English at least, “awoke” seems to be used commonly instead of the past tense of “wake” (which can be both “woke” or “waked”) – but, again, never paired with “up.”

• As the Oxford Dictionary notes, “waken” and “awaken” are the most formal of the four words. Use them to seem fancy.

A final thought: To avoid confusion, it would be perfectly acceptable to mentally designate each of the words as either transitive or intransitive only. Or, you could avoid the issue altogether and simply never get out of bed again – at least not until spring, anyway.

CELEBRATING THE PERFORMING ARTS Saturday, March 1 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Commentary by Randy Sorrell Trends are like elephant bell-bottom pants, railroad tie bed edges and being a fruitarian. It seemed so vogue at the time … and I’m relieved there are few pictures docuIndoors menting those moments.

Principles and movements, conversely, remind us of Sean Connery’s black tux from his original James Bond movie or that classic black dress reserved in the back of your closet. Both remain considerably stylish and fashionably worn at the next Palladium event. Providing they fit … yet, another classic movement.

Both, trends and principles/movements, are relevant considerations for luxury outdoor living and thoughtful landscapes. We simply have to respect a few boundaries. Imagine Connery’s Goldfinger tux married with a bold tie or a pair or pressed jeans. That’s blending today’s trends with principles/movements. It works.

Over the next few months, lets consider several respected principles/movements and how they are relevant to today’s lifestyle. Take a peek at what we will explore: • QUALITY DESIGN … how to recognize it • MATERIALS … get “real” • FIRE & WATER … enough said • LANDSCAPES … the most important element • SHADE … cancer sucks • WATER CONSERVATION, POLLUTION, GLOBAL WARMING … sorry • DETAILING … the magic • TRENDS Let’s satisfy our confessed need to be popular and look at what’s hot and trendy for 2014 … established by the greatest trendsetters of our generation, the big box retailers. Sad, isn’t it?

Consider, however, that they’ve spent million$$$ and bet their stock price to get it right.

We see a few new exciting perennials and flowering shrubs (re-blooming variegated lilac anyone?) making it to market, vegetable/herb gardens galore, improved synthetic looking urns, retractable screened walls and fabric pergola roofs and finally… tasteful rugs and cushions that don’t fade overnight.

These thoughts are echoed in our project

How to incorporate natural stone Commentary by David Decker

It can take millions of years for certain stones to form in nature. Maybe it’s thanks to this extremely long construction Indoors process that natural stone has a classic, timeless look that continues to be popular in home design decade after decade. And because of this enduring popularity, you can rest assured that installing natural stone will increase the value of your home. Let’s investigate some creative ways to implement natural stone into your home décor.

As a building material, stone is inherently durable, long lasting and environmentally friendly, which is why it is ideal for high traffic areas or objects that need to endure temperatures, or contact with water. Because of their chemical properties, some stone options are far more durable than others. Limestone and marble are much more susceptible to damage than slate, granite or soapstone. You’ll need to be sure to properly seal and maintain the stone to ensure that is stays looking as beautiful as the day it was installed.

The most obvious and popular place to use natural stone is for countertops. Because many types of natural stone are heat resistant and scratch proof, it’s easy to see why this has become a popular choice for kitchen countertops.

However, you also could choose to install stone countertops in the bathroom or bar area.

Natural also requires very little maintenance, which is why it is the perfect type of flooring for high traffic areas. Stone flooring is easy to clean and won’t be worn down by heavy amounts of foot traffic. Consider installing stone flooring to add an elegant touch to entryways, bathrooms or kitchen floors.

Another great way to implement stone in your home is on wall backsplashes. Stone backsplashes can add color and texture to your kitchen or bathroom. With all of the many styles and colors to choose from, there’s something to match every home décor style. And backsplashes are a more cost effective way to incorporate stone into home décor since they require less material than countertops or flooring.

For homeowners looking for smaller scale

Spring has sprung.

How are you going to make the most of it?

2014

Stone is ideal for high traffic areas or objects that need to endure temperatures or contact with water like bathrooms. (Submitted photo)

home improvement projects, natural stone can also be implemented into home accent pieces.

Visualize gathering around a solid stone fireplace during the chilly winter months. Or enjoy relaxing in a bathtub with a natural stone frame. Natural stone can even be used as a top surface for a wooden table or office desk. The possibilities are endless.

When properly cared for, natural stone can last for decades. So take comfort in the fact that anything you invest in will be a long lasting addition to your home.
