DVD review Set in New York City in the early 1960s, when the folk music scene that produced Bob Dylan was germinating, “Inside Llewyn Davis” is the story of somebody who never makes it. Llewyn (Oscar Isaac) is a sad sack and a lout who sponges off his friends for everything, even a place to sleep. But he’s a genuinely gifted singer – and so is Isaac, who skillfully and wistfully performs all his songs himself.

The Wild, 884 Logan St., will remain a children’s bookstore after finding a new owner. (file photo)

The Wild gets new owner

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Debbie Marinaro has found a new owner to take over The Wild bookstore in downtown Noblesville, business so Hamilton County will not lose its only independent bookstore.

“I’m more happy than anything. I look at it as a chapter closing and another opening for Marinaro me,” she said. “I don’t know what that will be. I owned The Wild, so I can do anything.

It’s not something I thought I’d do. It was a big leap of faith. I’m proud of myself for doing that.”

“It will stay The Wild, stay a bookstore,” new owner Peggy Clark said. “It’s been the craziest two weeks ever.”

Clark, a Noblesville resident for 17 years, has taught 2- through 4-year-olds how to swim at Stony Creek Swim Center in Noblesville for the past 10 years.

“I love being around kids,” she said. “I always wanted to start my own business. It really worked out perfectly because I was ready to make a change. I wanted to do something on my own.”

Clark said she has “a million ideas” about possible changes to the business, including in how long and when the store is open. She said she wants the store to have more hands-on opportunities, a book center where kids can hang out while parents shop and possibly add a hot chocolate maker or snack area.

“I also want to be a bigger part of what’s going

on in the square,” she said. “It’s in a great location.”

Marinaro, 58, announced in February that The Wild, 884 Logan St., would be sold or have its doors closed on March 27.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” she said. “I was talking to five serious people and finally got to the point that I was talking to people I was comfortable in selling the store to. They had the same vision for it – it was all about the importance of the store in the Clark community and love of children.”

Marinaro said she and her husband, Michael, have become first-time grandparents and need a little more flexibility in their lives than the store would allow.

“I need to be at the store full time or not any more. At this age and stage, it’s time for us to let someone else take the reins,” she said.

Marinaro purchased The Wild four years ago from Jane Mills, who had operated it for four and a half years. Marinaro said her love for children, books and literacy were the main reasons she bought the store.

“I did it for the community. It’s just a vital part of downtown. I’m so happy I didn’t have to lock the door and leave,” she said. “I’m so thankful someone did step forward and take the next leap of faith … it’s going to be in good hands with Peggy. I’m happy to be able to shop in there with my granddaughters.”

The plan is to hopefully keep the store open continuously through the transition as each party hopes to close on the deal next week.

OBITUARY Tom Burton, 70, of Noblesville died March 1, 2014. He was born Dec. 18, 1943 to the late George and Kathryn Burton. His love for the Lord led him away from being lead mechanic at Trans World Airlines for 21 years to attend Southern Baptist Seminary. His passion to serve and spread The Gospel to others sent him to preach in Noblesville. Besides pastoring his church home, he volunteered at the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, where he served from 2000 until his passing. As the agency’s senior chaplain he was instrumental in the development and organization of the support teams and services. He found absolute joy in every opportunity to serve others: family (including 17 foster children), chaplains, inmates and any passing stranger. His favorite passage was 1 Thess 5:16-18, which reads “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Survivors include his wife of 48 years, Joyce; children, Tommy Burton (Paula) Burton, Shanoah (Jeff) Bruner, Jim Hunt, David (Vivian) Burton and Angela Burton; grandchildren, Nicole, Mitchell, Leah, Kayleigh, Mia and Hannah; brother, Jack (Shirley) Burton; and sister, Alice (Jack) Ruppel. Funeral service was held March 6 at Christ Community Church of Hamilton County, 772 N. 10th St., Noblesville with the Rev. Mark Fidler and his son, Tommy Burton, officiating. Burial followed at Crownland Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Hamilton County Chaplaincy Fund, 18100 Cumberland Rd., Noblesville 46060 or www.hamiltoncountychaplains.com.

911 dispatch office to expand

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Council approved $421,553 for changes within the 911 Communications at its monthly meetGOvernment ing on March 5.

Michael Snowden, executive director of communications, asked the council to approve a new position of training and assurance officer along with new dispatchers.

“It’s one of the most important offices in our department,” Snowden said. “If it wasn’t important I wouldn’t be here in front of you.”

Snowden said the department has 48 dispatchers and eight supervisors. He said before the county operated all of the 911 dispatch services there were 17 administrators at the three centers.

Councilman Brad Beaver voiced his opposition to adding a new position, saying the department is “top heavy on administration.”

“It’s getting way too heavy with chiefs,” he said. “It’s a big ol’ department with lots of supervisors.”

The salary of the new positions is split between the state and county, which is then divided up among Hamilton County, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield budgets.

Other appropriations approved by the council include: • The council approved its half of the $400,000 matching amount as part of its interlocal agreement with the Town of Fishers. The agreement is for work on bridge No. 163, which is on Cumberland Road between 106th and 116th streets. Fishers had previously approved its $400,000 share of the project.

• To begin development work of the 276th Street interchange between U.S. 31 and Glen Road, the council approved $488,100.

President Rick McKinney said the county has received $3.5 million as part of an 80-20 (federal-county) grant. McKinney said the project is expected to begin in June 2016.

• The winter storms and snow cost roughly $410,000 in overtime fees for the county.

• Adult probation office received $5,000 for new computers.

• A new uninterrupted power supply will cost the county $220,000. The county’s computer power room is being redesigned and reworked and the new UPS will replace the large and smaller ones there. The new unit will provide more regulated power through-

Here at Community, the lapel pins that certain physicians wear indicate those doctors have been certified by MD Anderson Cancer Network™, a program of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of America’s leading cancer care providers. That tiny lapel pin isn’t a fashion statement. It’s a quality statement. It says we’ve met MD Anderson’s nationally recognized standards and that their guidelines and treatment plans can be shared with our patients right here locally. Nowhere else in Central Indiana can you get this quick access. You see, it’s much more than a lapel pin. It’s a beacon of hope.

Auxiliary event a huge success news@currentinfishers.com

The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Auxiliary recently held its annual auction at Harbor Trees Clubhouse and it was Philanthropy the most successful event in club history.

Difference starts with involvement Commentary by Kathy Richardson As a state representative, one of the most enjoyable features of my public service is seeing people get involved and statehouse actively participating in their community. Those wanting to become more informed or more involved in state and local issues have many options available to them, and I thought I would take some time to touch on a few of them.

On the local level, the Hamilton County Leadership Academy is an excellent program for residents wanting to make a difference within the county and serve as civic leaders. Participants spend about one full day a month over the course of ten months in seminars to learn more about a variety of topics ranging from local agriculture to education to effective leadership principles.

More than 500 people have graduated from the program since its inception in 1992 and have gone on to serve on boards, hold elected office and work in other positions around the county.

I had the opportunity to meet this year’s HCLA class when they made their annual Statehouse visit to meet their local legislators and learn more about how our state government operates.

They are a great group of people, and I really enjoyed being able to spend some time with them.

There was also a wonderful group of people who participated in my annual Adult Page Day Program. I have been hosting this program for 22 years now, giving more people the opportunity to experience the legislative process from the House floor. It is based off the House Page Program, which gives students under the age of 18 the opportunity to spend the day here at the Statehouse to tour our beautiful capitol, meet their local representatives and see the legislative process in person. The main difference is that my program is for adults in my district who may not

have had the opportunity to serve as a page or wanted to do so again.

This year, the adult pages toured the Statehouse, sat in on a House committee hearing, met the Indiana Secretary of State, chatted with me over lunch and watched the day’s session from the House floor. I highly encourage those who are interested in state government to sign up for the program next year. It is a unique opportunity to see firsthand how our government operates.

Lastly, it is always refreshing to see local residents serve the state through the House’s intern program, and we have three interns working for our caucus that are from Noblesville! Each year we bring in a number of interns during the legislative session to fill positions in communication, member services, public policy and information technology. They work closely with staff, legislators and other officials, playing a key role in the legislative process. It is a valuable experience that I know they enjoy and an opportunity I relish in working with these young and talented people.

There are many groups that advocate for a wide variety of issues, and I think it is important for people to get involved in organizations and issues that they are passionate about. Our system of government, the people’s government, affects many of those issues and being involved and knowledgeable of public polices is important.

Civic engagement is a key component to the success of our democracy and being accurately represented by our elected leaders. All of these people are leaders in our county, and I appreciate their efforts in making our community better each day.

The Noblesville Board of School Trustees has approved a plan that will allow two days of school to be made up by exeducation tending the school day.

The board voted on March 6 to extend the elementary day by 14 minutes and the secondary day by 17 minutes beginning March 17, and continuing through the end of the year. However, before the new daily schedule can be put into place, a Memorandum of Understanding must be approved by the Noblesville Teachers Forum and the make-up plan must be approved by the state Department of Education.

If both are approved on or before March 14, the calendar will be adjusted and the school year will end on June 4 for grades K-8 and on May 30 for grades 9-12. If either approval is not obtained by then, the school year will end on June 6 for grades K-8.

Although an earlier start date to extended

days had been discussed, the March 17 date is after the completion of ISTEP+ testing. The Flex Days scheduled for June 2 through 4 will be used for grades K-8 to make up the additional three days that are required. The high school year will end earlier because of the school’s participation in eLearning activities.

The board’s action is based on results from a survey for parents and staff.

Board vice president Donna Clark said that she would be in favor of leaving the calendar the way it is, but construction at the high school’s main and freshman campuses created a unique situation this year. Allowing the high school to vacate both buildings as quickly as possible is critical to ensuring completion of the construction projects in time for school to start on Aug. 4.

“I don’t think this (changing the calendar) is something we take lightly. The calendar committee works hard and sets the calendar well in advance. Those flex days (at the end of the year) are built in there for a reason,” she said.

Dispatches Volunteers needed – The Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank is available to help all of the food pantries here in the county by collecting and distributing non-perishable food free of charge to any pantry that needs it once a month. With an increase of 35 percent this past year the volunteer team has prepared more than 100 loads of food for local food pantries. Shauna Metzger said the first quarter of 2014 is up 146 percent over the same time period a year ago and based on these numbers, they project a need for more than 80,000 pounds of food for the coming year. Metzger said the food bank has multiple serving needs including monthly help from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursdays. Volunteer slots to fill include: help with food drives and food buying; volunteer coordinator to help primarily with email coordination of volunteers for activities; and publicity and promotion to help with Facebook updates, websites and e-mail. For more information e-mail hamiltoncountyharvest@gmail.com or call Anita Hagen at 439-9875.

Indy Honor Flight – In honor of Floyd Ganassi’s service to his country and his love of racing, the Target Chip Ganassi racing team would like to invite the public to the race shop for a rare chance to see how an Indy Car is assembled and the teamwork it takes to be successful. The opportunity to see behind the scenes at one of Indy Car’s most successful teams is 2 to 7 p.m. March 15 at Ganassi Race Shop, 7777 Woodland Dr., Indianapolis. The event includes tours from 2 to 5 p.m., a silent auction from 4 to 5 p.m. and a live auction from 5 to 6 p.m. All proceeds will be used to send World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. to see their memorial.

KNB wins recycle bin giveaway – To encourage recycling at community events and reduce Noblesville’s environmental footprint, Sustain Noblesville offered a recycle bin giveaway request for proposals last fall for Noblesville’s non-profit organizations. Planners of non-profit, church and school programs were invited to apply for two to eight portable recycling bins to facilitate recycling at their future events. The 2013 recipient of eight bins is Keep Noblesville Beautiful, a community improvement organization that provides educational and community action programs to the general public in the Noblesville area. These programs help government, businesses and citizens work together to provide litter prevention and cleanup, neighborhood beautification, and other services to help make the community healthier and safer and viably and sustainably impact residents’ lives.

Utility bill address changes – The Noblesville Utilities Dept., formerly known as the Noblesville Wastewater Utility Dept., has announced a new remittance address for utility payments only. The change is effective with the latest bill, which was mailed to customers on Feb. 28. The pre-printed remittance envelopes that are included with each month’s bill will reflect the new remittance address. Also, the new remittance address will be listed on the Utility bill. Customers should be aware that additional time will be required for payments to arrive at the new lockbox location and therefore are encouraged to mail their payments earlier than normal. Payments must arrive at the lockbox on or before the due date to avoid a late fee. Other options for payment in addition to the United State Postal Service include: paying in person from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through at the utility office, 197 W. Washington St., Noblesville; placing the payment in the drop box located in the drive-thru at the Utility office; paying by phone by calling 1-888-933-9119; and paying online (visit www.cityofnoblesville.org/utilities for more information about this option).

Façade grant program restores, improves city’s historic downtown

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville began its matching façade grant program in 2008. Since then, 38 projects have revitalized the downtown square for a total capital investment of $1,159,333.57 – with cover story the city paying just $489,219.36.

“It is the most successful program we’ve had in downtown for a catalyst in reinvestment,” said economic development specialist Alaina Shonkwiler, who oversees the program for the city. “It’s visual … you can see the impact they have.”

Shonkwiler said the program has a Shonkwiler maximum matching grant of $25,000, which has been approved five times; otherwise it is a 50 percent match of the total project’s costs. Fifteen projects were approved in the first year, but since then the number has dropped each year. In 2012 and 2013 only four projects were applied for and approved.

“We’ve hit a plateau of four a year,” Shonkwiler said.

While the city has not received any applications for 2014, Shonkwiler expects two – Nova 29 in the former Eddie’s Corner Café and Kiln Creations.

The city provides funding but the approval of projects comes from a review committee consisting of Renee Oldham, John Adams, Andrew Habel, Mike Marinaro and Heather MacInnis. Shonkwiler said the program district boundaries are Wayne, Division, 10th and Fifth streets.

“There are projects that still can be done, but we are considering expanding the district,” she said.

As the façade grant program evolves it faces two potential major changes.

Shonkwiler has asked the Noblesville Common Council to amend the façade grant ordinance by waiving permit fees of approved projects. Of the 38 projects, 13 (four building and nine encroachment) have needed additional permits from the city. Shonkwiler said these fees total $3,600 or $450 a year over the eight years of the program.

“They still apply and fulfill all the regulations for them,” she said. “It’s one more thing we can use as an incentive for façade grant projects. It’s a small impact on the city but a big one for businesses.”

Funding for the program comes from the Logan Street TIF, whose funds expire in the next 10 years.

Shonkwiler said the last appropriation was $75,000 in June.

“There’s $80,000 in the kitty for 2014. The council is willing to appropriate more funds as needed,” she said.

Funds from the TIF district may be used for the West Gateway Park the city is looking to build directly across White River from downtown. If that decision happens, Shonkwiler will turn to federal and state grants to continue the program.

“I’m looking at more creative ways to supplement the funding structure,” she said. “Right now we are in good shape. I’m looking four or five years down the road.”

The cause of reinvestment

A new coat of paint and working neon sign were two changes Syd’s Grill and Bar used with its 2009 façade grant at 808 Logan St. (submitted photos) Darren Peterson was on the façade review committee for two years and his architecture firm has done a handful of grant projects including the visitor’s center, Kiln Creations and Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano.

“The 1970s were Peterson rough on the architecture of downtown Noblesville, with rising energy cost and spiraling interest rates, instead of fixing energy problems with long term solutions they were simply covered up and energy savings alone could not pay for the construction in any reasonable period. High windows were covered with wood mansards so rising heat did not escape single pane retail windows, ornate cast iron columns were wrapped with wood for “out”sulation and exterior solid brick facades were Syd’s Grill and Bar prior painted and sealed to prevent moisture and thermal penetration. Naturally everything was to its facade grant. sealed up very tight to conserve energy but alas it created the perfect environment for mold and ultimately deterioration. At varying speeds we have witnessed a slow and steady deterioration of several downtown building, culminating in an entire ’70s façade breaking free on the building and landing on the sidewalk. I am not sure if this was the impetus for the façade grant program, but certainly made many building owners start to wonder about the facades and also importantly, what was under them structurally and aesthetically. Over and over again we heard ‘I never knew that was under there’ and ‘we are looking forward to the demolition portion of this project more than the rebuild.’” “It’s more friendly, a new perspective. It makes the whole thing feel less sleepy. The impact seems cleaner, safer and people care about their business,” he said.

In their words “The façade grant was a significant factor in upgrading our original plans for the rehabilitation of the Ninth Street façade of our two buildings, 2 and 11 N. Ninth St. While the façade is common to both structures, they are actually two separate buildings and the cost of the inside renovation was significant. We were determined to preserve the historic character to the greatest extent possible and the grant made the difference for us. The whole square has shown wonderful improvement largely because of this incentive.” – Doug Church of Church, Church, Hittle & Antrim “Obviously it’s a good program and for a small building owner it absolutely helps out. It defers a lot of the cost … I’m looking at applying for a grant this week.

I’d have to wait 12 to 18 months if the grant was not available. I cannot see any disadvantages to the program from my point of view or the city’s. It helps small businesses and business owners,” – Shannon Loomis, owner of Kiln Creations and its building

Church, Church, Hittle & Antrim made a capital investment of $125,000 in its remodeling of 12 N. Ninth St. It is the largest amount spent for a façade grant project.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

C U RR E N T O O N

Technology for youth is gaining Congratulations to Noblesville Schools on being the recipient of a $100,000 grant from the Indiana Department of Education’s Office of eLearning (well, taxpayers, actually). The money will be used to support the school district’s shift to 1:1 technology, the schools tell us. And that means iPads are on the way for every student in one classroom in each elementary school. Andrew Swickheimer, director of technology for the schools, has said the grant will allow Noblesville to create and implement a pilot program for digital technology in the elementary schools. Ultimately, the district’s goal is to provide upper-elementary students access to digital technology every day while at school. The grant also covers professional development for teachers, who would pilot the elementary program during next school year. The schools said teachers selected for the program would attend conferences and collaborate as they work to curate a digital curriculum. Those teachers can then assume a leadership role while providing professional development for others. The program already is in use at Noblesville High School, where sophomores, juniors and seniors are on board. For next year, the plan is to bring sixththrough ninth-graders into the fold.

Noblesville’s grant was one of 20 awarded to school districts statewide by the Office of eLearning, the schools said. Our belief is this will be money well spent.

••• Put this on your calendar for March 12: The city will host a public meeting at 7 p.m. to unveil the design and master plan for West Gateway Park. The meeting will be held at City Hall on the second floor. There will be a presentation and time for questions and answers.

The park will be just west of the White River in the area bordered by Ind 19, Conner Street, Nixon Street and Logan Street. Construction is set to begin in spring 2015.

READER’S VIEW USPS finances continue to improve

Incantation station

Commentary by Terry Anker

It may be a product of our literary history. Or, it may just be a part of our DNA. Whatever the genesis, we humans expect that objects or magic talismans will keep us safe, secure and free from threat real or imagined. Recently, I found myself on the Riverwalk in San Antonio – wonderful place, by the way – and during a short ride on a water taxi to a restaurant the affable and tipexpecting driver was regaling those assembled of various factoids about the buildings and historical elements along the passageway. In the 1920’s, it seems, a regional insurance company elected to build its headquarters as a rather unusual combination of gothic-revival architectural elements and a highly aspirational skyline-dominating tower. The creators included elaborate entablatures and heavily carved limestone details meant to evoke the European designs of religious and institutional buildings of the period.

The young captain of our vessel elected to focus his attention on the various grotesques and gargoyles that ring the massive edifice. Each

of them, we were told, was installed to keep the building safe from evil spirits that might seek access to harm the occupants of the company’s new home. Of all the important and historic elements, his attention focused in the firm’s use of object to intervene in some eternal struggle between good and evil. Whether these stone faces are supposed to actually prevent a metaphysical infestation or were only considered a periodappropriate decoration may be lost to history.

We see scores of such symbols of protection each day. But do they have transcendent powers or do they simply serve to remind us that our beliefs are more powerful than any incantation? Does the object dangling from a chain on our neck really protect us from vampires or is it most effective in reminding us to defend ourselves?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

- Nelson Mandela

Editor: The U.S. Postal Service just released its financial figures for the first fiscal quarter of 2014 (October through December) and more than 100 percent of our losses are the onerous pre-funding of retiree healthcare. The USPS would have earned a profit of $765 million if not for the pre-funding albatross that is crippling the postal service. Operating revenue is increasing and operating expenses are decreasing indicating the postal service is headed in the right direction.

I want to emphasize the last three important financial figures of the postal service: 1. 1) 2013 fiscal year – $600 million profit without prefunding (October 2012 through September 2013) 2. 2) 2014 fiscal year first quarter (October 2013 through December 2013) – $765 million profit without prefunding 3. 3) January 2014 – $122 million profit without prefunding Bottom line – the last 16 months the postal service has made almost $1.5 billion in profits without the onerous prefunding mandate.

The postal service’s unmatched networks and outstanding employees have made these striking results possible. And these trends augur well for the future, because they reflect the opportunities increasingly presented by the Internet and by an improving economy.

Package revenues resulting from online shopping rose by more than 14 percent this quarter – more than offsetting the small decline in letter revenue.

This quarter’s $765 million operating profit compares with the $100 million from the first quarter of 2013 – another sign of improving postal finances.

In light of these results, lawmakers should strengthen the postal network while addressing the remaining problem: the Congressional mandate to pre-fund future retiree benefits required of no other public or private entity in the country. Degrading the network and reducing services to the public and businesses would jeopardize the postal turnaround.

Mother of the year

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

I received an email the other day reminding me that this spring I would celebrate my 10th anniversary as Mother of the Year.

Humor Me! Mother of the Year! Sure it was just from my Mothers of Twins Club, and at the time there were maybe only 50 members, but the point is, despite what people think, I was at one time a good mom. So there!

And now, well, I’m mainly trying to survive each day without taking meds, offing a child or my spouse, or purposely driving my mini-van into a retaining pond.

What’s changed? Certainly the ages of my kids makes a huge difference. No one, thank the Lord, is in diapers, everyone sleeps through the night barring illness or Walking Dead-inspired nightmares, and a few can even make a mean meal of macn-cheese (I’m also a master of alliteration, thank you very much!). They dress themselves, shower, sometime do homework and usually complete their chores without too many complaints. By most accounts, they are healthy, happy teens/tweens.

But I think we’d all agree, “2014 Mother of the Year” would be a stretch. I do, after all, consistently serve my kids pre-packaged, high-sodium foods and forget to pick them up from track practice (Sorry, coach!).

But in reality, what makes anyone a good mom? When I was in the throes of stay-at-home motherhood with a newborn, toddler twins and a precocious preschooler, I thought I was a ter-

rible parent. Isolated and alone, I longed to go back to work just so I could have a break from the constant pressure and monotony of keeping said babies alive and well. I certainly did not “feel blessed” to be playing house and Hot Wheels all day long, nor did I truly appreciate the opportunity to spend all of my waking (and unwaking it would seem) moments nurturing and caring for my children. Especially when I attended Twins Club meeting, where many members had struggled with infertility, my schemes for propping a bottle to buy 10 minutes for a shower and using Playhouse Disney to babysit while I scarfed down a long-forgotten-in-the-toaster bagel seemed utterly selfish and irresponsible.

As it turns out, though, and I also learned this from the amazing mothers at Twins Club, doing the best you can each day is what makes us all good parents. We won’t always succeed, but as long as we are trying, we are all Mothers of the Year. Even me in 2014! Peace out.

Shameless plug: The Northside Twins and Multiples Club, the very same group that once elected yours truly Mother of the Year, is holding its Children’s Consignment Sale on April 26 at Fishers UMC. Email ntmclothingsale@gmail.com for more information.

Take a stand against violence

Editor, February was Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. This is a very serious issue; it happens everywhere and at any time. Here are some statistics you might not know about it. One in three teens in the U.S. is a victim of physical, emotional or sexual abuse. Women ages 16-24 are three times more likely to experience abuse.

This doesn’t mean that it can’t happen to boys too. These violent relationships have some serious effects on victims. They could cause a high risk for substance abuse, eating disorders, risky sexual behavior, and even suicide.

It is time for our community to become more informed and involved in teen dating violence.

Eighty-one percent of parents surveyed either believe teen dating violence is not an issue or admit they don’t know it’s an issue. Twenty percent of male students surveyed witnessed someone they go to high school with physically hit their dating partner. Thirty-nine percent of female high school students report that students talk about whether someone is attempting to control the person they are dating. Something must be done about the amount of violence that takes place in young peoples’ relationships.

We need to provide a voice for victims who

have remained silent. That is why I am going to be the first to take this pledge and encourage you to take it too.

“I promise myself, future and current partners to maintain relationships that are based on respect, equality, trust and honest communication. I will value my partner’s boundaries online and behind closed doors. I will never engage in any type of abuse-physical, emotional, sexual, financial or digital. If one of my friends experiences abuse, I pledge to help them by saying something, modeling healthy communication and connecting them to resources. I pledge to remember, demonstrate and promote the fact that love is respect.”

Feel green, not blue, on St. Patrick’s Day By: Kristen Yates • editorial@youaecurrent.com For the past six years Mo’s Irish Pub St. Patty’s Day – 2 Day Bash has been a hit. So much that just last year its party grew large enough that they decided to turn it into a two-day event.

“This year is going to be better than ever,” St. Patricks Day Kyle Gobel, assistant general manager, said.

This will be Gobel’s second year working the event and he has many fond memories of last year.

“It’s really a big event. We have grown in size every year and I can’t wait to see what this year will bring,” he said.

The two-day event starts on March 15 with the inaugural Mo’s Shamroc5K run at 8:30 a.m. Proceeds will benefit Simon Youth Foundation and all are welcome to participate. Those interested in participating can register online at www.shamroc5k.com.

After the race the festivities continue with Mo’s traditional Kegs & Eggs breakfast featuring just what it sounds like – malt beverages and eggs.

Corned Beef Puffs

By Sophie Pappas sophie@youarecurrent.com These puff-pastry appetizers make for a great introduction to an Irish feast. Plus, they are simple and so delicious!

Ingredients: • 2 1/2 cups finely chopped deli corned beef • 2 tablespoons chopped onion • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise • 1/4 teaspoon prepared horseradish • 1 cup beer • 1/2 cup butter • 1 cup flour • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 4 eggs

Photo courtesy of Pampered Chef Fall Cookbook.

Directions: 1. Mix together the corned beef, onion, mustard, mayonnaise, and horseradish. Cover and refrigerate.

2. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

3. In a large pot, bring beer and butter to a rolling boil. Stir in flour and salt until the mixture forms a ball. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon or stand mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet.

4. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 10 minutes until golden brown. Centers should be dry.

5. When the shells are cool, split the puffs and fill with the corned beef mixture. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Koresh to fuse multiple styles

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Ronen Koresh’s wide range as a creative artist could perhaps be traced to a typical Israeli apartment building of the 1960s.

Dance The founder and artistic director of Philadelphia’s Koresh Dance Company explains it this way: “My diversity to some degree is the result of the accumulation of so many experiences in Israel,” he said.

Koresh was born there 52 years ago.

“I grew up in a country where in one building with 12 apartments, you might have 12 different nationalities living there,” he said by phone last week from Philadelphia. “I’m a Yemenite Jew, and next door you might find Jews from Morocco or Tunisia or Iran. All those people eat different foods and listen to different music. As a child, you don’t pay attention to those differences, but they are carved into you: The way people dance and the way they party becomes a part of you.”

From the time he was turned on to dance as a boy, he has sought to express this diversity in staged dance.

His company biography identifies this stunning array of influences: “Graham technique, Luigi jazz, classical ballet, club dancing, military maneuvers and Israeli folk dance.”

It’s no wonder he’s reluctant to associate himself with a particular style.

“I don’t choreograph in one style,” he said.

“Style is a limitation. Once you develop a style, you have to stick to it. Mine is constantly changing.”

The common thread of his choreography is simply who he is.

“There is a signature, and that is me - the intensity of it, the way I approach things,” Koresh said. “But I try to stay open-minded as much as I can. I will use anything to communicate.”

The centerpiece of the 10-person troupe’s program here is Koresh’s 2012 setting of Ravel’s “Bolero,” the famous orchestral showpiece with the hypnotic rhythms and repetitive theme. Having loved the piece since his youth, Koresh took his time deciding he was ready to add his version to many predecessors, dating back to the work’s 1928 premiere.

“I didn’t want it to be another sexy ‘Bolero,’

Philadelphia’s Koresh Dance Company will put on a show that’s at once mysterious, but with a sense of humor, too. (Submitted photo)

but one that would stand on its own. Mine is really different: I feel like a conductor with that music, like I’m conducting it in a childish way. So I took it to a place like a playground,” he said. “My dancers are not kids, but we can act in a way that’s childlike. It’s very mysterious, and it has a sense of humor to it, too.”

Tips for a healthy spring break Commentary by William Heisel, MD

This month families begin heading to warmer climates for spring break. Whether you’re traveling by plane or car, here are Wellness some important things to remember to keep your family healthy on vacation.

Tips for air travel Fight germs. Before settling into your seat, wipe the tray table and armrests with antibacterial wipes. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer before eating. Don’t use airplane pillows or blankets unless they are delivered to you in plastic. Better yet, bring your own.

Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of bottled water during the flight. Lip balm, moisturizer and small misters may come in handy to help combat dry cabin air.

Protect your ears. Changes in cabin air pressure can cause ear pain, especially in children.

During takeoff and landing, offer an infant the breast or a bottle to encourage swallowing, which helps keep the eustachian tubes open.

Chewing gum, yawning or swallowing are good remedies for older children and adults to avoid

dispatches New hire – Fishers resident Shaina Boone, ANP-BC, an adult nurse practitioner, has joined Indiana Vein Specialists and is assisting Jeffery Schoonover, MD, with the treatment of venous insufficiency. Indiana Vein Specialists is at 11876 Olio Rd., Suite 700, Fishers. For an appointment, call 348-3023.

Probiotics – Yogurt is a power food that can boost your immunity. Probiotics, or the “live active cultures” found in yogurt, are healthy bacteria that keep the gut and intestinal tract free of diseasecausing germs. Although they’re available in supplement form, a recent study found that a daily 7-ounce dose of yogurt was just as effective in boosting immunity as popping pills. Prevention.com Don’t touch that – According to Prevention.com, the 10 worst germ hotspots are: the kitchen faucet, garbage disposal, welcome mat, vacuum cleaner, dish towel, car dashboard, soap dispensers, restaurant ketchup bottles, refrigerator seal and your cellphone!

ear discomfort. If you have cold symptoms, talk to your doctor about taking a decongestant before flying to help prevent earache.

Tips for road travel Take frequent breaks. Long car trips can take a toll on children and adults alike. Make a point to stop every two hours to stretch your legs. Build 15-minute breaks into your travel time so you won’t be tempted to skip them.

Snack smart. Avoid the high-sugar, high-fat snacks found in rest area vending machines and roadside convenience stores. Instead, pack healthy snacks such as fresh fruit, raw vegetables, pretzels or reduced-fat crackers. People often eat in the car to fend off boredom, so bring travel-friendly games to keep children engaged.

Prevent motion sickness. To ease motion sickness, keep your head still and avoid reading or watching TV or videos. If car sickness persists, stop for some fresh air, sip clear, carbonated beverages or eat soda crackers.

During vacation, keep children on their normal sleep schedules, when possible. Factor in time for naps between activities. Also, stick to their normal diets, as much as possible. They’ll be happier – and so will you.

From Brooklyn, to Italy, to right here in Noblesville, Vito Ruggieri is bringing his authentic Italian cuisines in his restaurant, V’s now open Pizza & Pasta.

Ruggieri was born in Brooklyn, but raised in Italy. At 17, he returned to America to follow his dreams. Ever since he can remember, he has been in love with food. “I’ve been in this business 30 years now. I have tried to get out before, but something keeps pulling me back,” Ruggieri said.

The passion behind his food started out at a young age.

“When you make a pizza, you are creating it for that specific person. Every dish is individualized in my restaurant and I give every ounce of myself in every dish that I create,” Ruggieri said.

Ruggieri’s new restaurant has been open a month at 111 South Harbor Dr. “It’s a great location, I’ve had my eye on it for almost three years now,” he said.

The restaurant is a small mom-and-pop type of place with a strong family oriented atmosphere.

“With the repeat customers I’ve already had in

the short time that I have been at this location, they’ve tried everything on the menu. Just for appetizers I have anything from mussels to crab cakes to eggplant,” Ruggieri said.

For daily specials, customers can follow the restaurant on Facebook for dishes that don’t show up on the menu.

“It’s whatever I feel like experimenting with that day,” he said. “I love going to the grocery store to pick out my own ingredients.”

When coming to the end of your meal, Ruggieri said don’t forget to, “try the desserts!” as the Carnegie Deli cheesecake comes straight from New York.

DISPATCHES First Financial Bank names new president – First Financial Bank has named Indiana native Kevin Langford its Indiana banking president. He will lead the bank’s operations throughout the entire state. In addition to his role as Indiana banking president, he serves as the consumer-banking president across the bank’s three-state footprint.

Langford has more than 20 years of banking experience and joined First Financial in January 2006.

Horizon Bank announces acquisition of 1st Mortgage of Indiana - Horizon Bank announced it has closed its acquisition of 1st Mortgage of Indiana, and it will operate under the name of Horizon Bank. 1st Mortgage of Indiana was a mortgage lender specializing in conventional, Jumbo, FHA and VA Mortgage loans. Horizon Bank has total assets of $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2013, and it still operates under its original charter, dating back to 1873, with a footprint of twenty-nine offices extending throughout northern and central Indiana as well as southwestern Michigan.

Smartphone purchases still uncommon - According to a study published last week by Yankee Group, just 16% of mobile device owners have used their phone to make an in-store payment in the past three months, while two-thirds of consumers are interested in doing so.

In a report, eMarketer said the market is growing slower than expected, noting how it scaled back estimates of user adoption and transaction value from its initial projections in 2012. Part of what’s holding consumers back, analysts say, is that using credit cards isn’t that much of a hassle. SOURCE: Yahoo Finance

Church Floor at Taybet al Imam, Syria (Photo by Don Knebel)

Paradise and a Syrian church floor Commentary by Don Knebel In 1985, workers building a road in Taybet al Imam, a small town in northern Syria, uncovered a magnificent church floor buried travel beneath two feet of dirt. The floor, now protected under a permanent building, illustrates early Christian beliefs and may have provided the inspiration for Islamic images of Paradise.

The 6,000 square-feet floor was once part of the Church of the Holy Martyrs, built in about 442 A.D. The floor still includes bases of columns that once supported the three-nave church. The entire floor is covered with colorful mosaic scenes, making it one of the largest continuous Byzantine mosaics ever found.

The scenes are not like those found in modern churches. No pictures show Jesus or Mary. None show saints or angels. In fact, the floor contains no representations of human or divine beings at all, reflecting the early Christian belief that God forbids the creation of “graven images.” Instead, the floor includes about 20 framed representations of important Christian buildings, including churches in Bethlehem and Jerusalem and a cross-shaped church honoring Simeon the Stylite, a Syrian Christian ascetic who lived atop a

column for 37 years.

The most theologically significant scenes illustrate the fifth century idea of Paradise. Many Christians then understood Paradise to be God’s eventual recreation of the Garden of Eden on earth, ushered in by the expected return of Jesus. So, deer drink from a steam overflowing with fish, wild animals run free, and grapes and cool drinks are in abundance. Peacocks, whose bodies were once thought never to decay, drink from a golden chalice, symbolizing God’s promise of immortality. Lions run together with prey among trees laden with fruit.

These images are remarkably similar to the Paradise described in the Quran, a fact not necessarily a coincidence. Muhammad is known to have visited Syrian churches during caravan trips with his uncle. As suggested by a floor panel showing two camels beside a caravan stop, the Church of the Holy Martyrs was along the caravan route north of Damascus, The Islamic images of Paradise may have their roots in a Syrian church.

Quality design: How to recognize it

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

As we rediscover our passion for outdoor living, the influence of quality design and the value of landscape outdoors architects escalate. We appreciate that Houzz and 24/7 home improvement shows are driving style and design; however, there are certain design principles to consider for the success of any project. And while we dig the latest trends, we often wonder how they will mature and future ROI. Thomas Church (1902-1978), internationally acclaimed landscape architect, states, “The success of the design will depend largely on these four fundamental principles”: • Unity-consideration of both house, patio and garden as a whole.

• Function-the relation of the practical service areas to the needs of the household … does it do what you hoped it would.

• Simplicity-both the economic and aesthetic success of the layout.

• Scale-gives us a pleasant relation of parts to one another.

Patio/Grill-station/Fire feature The featured luxury outdoor living space easily flows from the back door and seamlessly connects to both a secondary living space by the pool and a lush lawn play space. The

large lot and house commanded an oversized tumbled brick patio and is surrounded with appropriate scaled landscaping. This helped with traffic flow for the large family too.

We fortunately retained the stunning red Japanese maple that offered shade, emphasized the “outdoor room” feel and helped solve the issue of scale. It hangs just behind the cobblestone custom Weber grill station and heightens intrigue, with the pool “splashed” partially out of view. The stone sitting walls and edgy square fire feature echoes warm hues of the brick home.

Community Inspiring, isn’t it … how quickly we’ve returned to adventurous outdoor living with block party cookouts, biking paths, exercise groups and neighborhood garage sales? We appreciate a sense of community.

Join the fun!

Spring is in the air and we just got an extra hour of daylight. Pretty soon windows will be opened up with fresh air blowing through the house. This is a signal to most gardeners to get outside and start preparing your yard and garden for spring plantings. March is time to clean the yard, prepare garden beds, start indoor vegetable seeds and watch for early spring blooms.

Some gardeners like to grow their own vegetable transplants and others prefer to pick them up from the local garden center. For those that enjoy the whole process from start to finish, now is the best time to start your cool season crops and warm season vegetables. Grab your seed trays and get growing.

What to Plant Now Indoor Sowing

Tomato, pepper, broccoli, cauliflower and lettuce seeds.

Outdoor Sowing

Kid, pet-friendly carpet and flooring choices

Commentary by David Decker

Keeping your floors neat and tidy when there are young or furry members of the family living in your house is difficult. Parents indoors and pet owners both know that a certain amount of messiness and wear is inevitable, but it’s helpful to know what materials are more kid and pet-friendly flooring than others. Here is what you need to know about choosing flooring that will be best suited for children, pets or a combination of the two.

Stain-resistant carpet Just as the name implies, stain-resistant carpet is specially made to repel dirt, liquids and other messes (including pet accidents). Carpets made with wool are naturally stain-resistant and durable, but a bit pricier than synthetic materials. The most popular stain-resistant carpets are made from nylon that’s been infused with a special coating during the manufacturing process.

One word of caution: do not clean your stainresistant carpets with harsh chemicals, because this could damage or erode the coating.

Tile Porcelain, stone or ceramic tile is a good choice if you’re looking for something that can hold up against wear and tear. Like stain-resistant carpet, messes can quickly and easily be mopped up without leaving permanent damage.

Tile is also very scratch resistant, which is help-

quiet to walk on.

Pets and children are messy, but the right flooring eases the cleaning burden. (Submitted photo)

ful if you are worried about pet claws damaging your floor.

Vinyl flooring While most people wouldn’t think vinyl to be a very innovative flooring choice, there have been many innovations in vinyl over the last few years. Today’s “luxury” vinyl designs is great for pets and kids because it’s scratch and stain resistant, low in allergens, easy to clean and even

Green options Many homeowners are choosing to install flooring made from renewable resources, such as cork or bamboo. Both are very durable materials, which make them great options for homeowners with pets or children. Cork flooring is naturally antimicrobial, which means that it will reduce the amount of mold and other allergens in the room. Additionally, it’s scratch resistant and holds up well against moisture. It also can absorb sound, which is always a plus for pet owners and parents. You may also want to investigate bamboo flooring. Bamboo is actually harder than hardwood flooring, which means than it will stand up to foot traffic. It is also stain-resistant and extremely durable.

The best way to choose flooring is to analyze what types of things your family will do most frequently in that particular room. Then consider which type of material will most benefit all the activities (and potential messes) that may occur there. Choose carefully and you’ll have flooring that enhances the room and makes the entire family happier.
