Alternative energy to save money

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County is discussing various ways to implement new energy alternatives to become more efficient, thus saving taxpayGovernment ers money.

Steve Wood, Hamilton County buildings and grounds supervisor, said the plan to begin mixing the county’s transportation fleet with compressed natural gas vehicles went before the Hamilton County ComWood missioners on April 14. The initial plan is for 30 vehicles to have the new engines.

“We’ll start off slow. We’ve reduced the amount of vehicles,” Wood, a Noblesville resident, said.

Wood said the vehicles are basic pickup trucks and cars and run on regular gasoline and natural gas. They will not include public safety vehicles at this point. While the county does not pay taxes, gasoline prices are still approximately $3.55 per gallon.

“The worst case scenario is 80 cents per gallon for natural gas. We anticipate 73 cents per gallon,” Wood said.

For a dozen vehicles, Wood said the savings could be $30,000 to $45,000 a year in fuel savings.

“We’re training people to use it correctly,” he said, adding the savings depends on vehicle, gas mileage and use.

To implement the new vehicles, the county will have to build a new fueling station which Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt said may have countywide affects of additional savings.

“It gives local schools the Heirbrandt

chance to demo (compressed natural gas vehicles) and have a place to fill up,” he said.

Solar panels In the discussion phase is a solar panel project similar to the one at the Indianapolis International Airport.

The original idea was a $13 million investment to install the panels on the top of the courthouse, jail, 4-H fairgrounds and other county buildings. Heirbrandt, a Westfield resident, said that project had a projected $33 million energy cost savings during 25 years.

“We’ve significantly scaled down,” he said. “The (Hamilton County) council is involved and will provide input on what they think we should go with for this project … We’re at the right size for the biggest bang for the buck.”

The new proposal is to utilize the vacant space around one of the county’s new 911 towers adjacent to Ind. 37.

“One major field will save a lot of money but gives us a test plot to work off of,” Heirbrandt said, adding that in addition to becoming a leader in sustainable energy initiatives, the environmental benefit is the same as planting thousands of acres of trees.

“There’s nothing we can do with the land because of the tower.”

Heirbrandt said the estimated cost is $4.5 million with an anticipated net savings of $7.5 million after debt repayment, operating and maintenance costs, and insurance costs.

“The simple payback is 10 years,” he said.

Wood said the county is expecting 35 to 40 percent electrical inflation costs by 2020.

“One hundred percent of kilowatts per hour consumption by Hamilton County Juvenile Service Center will be covered by solar energy,” he said.

Wellbrooke of Westfield made us a promise.

And, they’ve kept their word.

Construction continues on Eighth Street in front of the Hamilton County Judicial Center.

Construction closes Logan Street news@currentnoblesville.com

One day after opening the intersection of Eighth Street and Ind. 32/Conner Street, construction crews closed another the commute downtown Noblesville intersection on April 9.

The Ind. 32/Conner Street portion was completed ahead of schedule, which allowed crews to begin work at the other intersection early.

This is part of the project between the City of Noblesville, INDOT and the Hoosier Heritage Port Authority to replace the railroad tracks on a portion of Eighth Street from just south of Conner

Street/Ind. 32 to just north of Logan Street. The railroad tracks are being taken up so that the concrete pads can be removed and replaced, and then new tracks will be installed.

The intersection is expected to reopen on April 23. If work progresses more quickly than anticipated, then it will be reopened once the construction is complete. The section of Eighth Street in front of the Hamilton County Judicial Center will remain closed until the conclusion of the project.

For more information about the project, visit www.cityofnoblesville.org/engineering or call the engineering department at 776-6330.

Noblesville teachers rated effective news@currentnoblesville.com Noblesville teachers received high scores in their evaluations from administrators during the 2012-2013 school year. education For the first time in state history, Indiana’s Dept. of Education recently released educator effectiveness data to the public. The information shows how many teachers from each school in Indiana were judged to be highly effective, effective, improvement necessary and ineffective.

At Noblesville Schools, 637 educators were reported and 220 were evaluated as highly effective and 399 were rated as effective – a total of 97 percent. The district had eight teachers (including one from the central office) listed as improvement necessary and two teachers (Noblesville High School and West Middle School) were rated as ineffective.

Statewide, 87 percent of Hoosier public instructors were rated as either highly effective or effective while only 3 percent were rated as either needs improvement or ineffective. The remaining 10 percent did not receive a final evalu-

ation due to circumstances such as resignation, or retirement.

“I am encouraged by these numbers,” stated Glenda Ritz, state superintendent of public instruction. “For the most part, they confirm what we already knew: that public schools throughout Indiana are filled with effective and highly effective teachers. Research shows that highly effective educators are exactly the type of leaders that can turn schools around and increase school performance.”

Ritz said there is a marked decrease in the percentage of highly effective educators between schools that receive an A and those that receive an F. “Thirty-two percent of teachers in A schools are rated as highly effective, in comparison to just 11 percent in schools that received an F. Highly effective educators are vital to school turnaround and my Department will be working to address this gap moving forward,” she said.

All Noblesville schools received an A rating with the exception of North, Hazel Dell and White River elementary schools which received B gradings.

3 Democrats seek seat in Congress

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Two years ago, U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks took over the seat of longtime Republican congressman Dan Burton, who had served 30 years in that office. This year, three government Democratic candidates are vying for a chance to try and flip the seat across the political aisle.

Brooks, who represents Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, defeated Scott Reske with 58 percent of the vote in 2012. If she wins her Republican primary, she will face one of three Democratic opponents, which includes an engineer, an educator and a veteran. The primary date is May 6. None of the Democratic applicants have previously held elected office.

Allen Ray Davidson Throughout his career as an engineer, Allen Ray Davidson said he’s made it his mission to reduce waste and increase efficiency in government.

The 45-year-old Fishers resident said he has the technical skills necessary to fix the problems in government.

He points to his experience as a pavement design engineer Davidson for the Indiana Department of Transportation.

“I have served the state of Indiana well in my career, to the benefit of all Hoosiers,” Davidson said. “However, I feel that my skills can be better utilized in Washington D.C., for the benefit of all Americans.”

Davidson said he’s also familiar with environmental law due to his work with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Davidson has a daughter, 9-year-old Tanisha, and a son, 4-year-old Ruhan. He has a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from Texas Tech University.

Shawn Denney Some politicians talk about the tough economy, but Shawn Denney said he’s seen it firsthand.

The 41-year-old Lawrence Township resident said he had a stable, well-paying job in the insurance and investments industry, but, “in the blink

of an eye I found myself on the unemployment line.”

“Like me, many people have to find other job opportunities, learn new trades and develop second careers,” he said. “I want to be that voice in Washington that speaks up and advocates for America’s middle and working class.”

That year, Denney took on a Denney new role as educator, teaching young minds about U.S. and world history. He said that gives him insight into what’s good and bad about the state’s education system, one of his top focuses if he is elected.

Denney has three children, Perrin, 15, Charles Kalvin, seven, and Liam, 18 months. He is engaged to Amber Stearns. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Indianapolis.

David Ford The youngest of the three potential candidates, David Ford doesn’t turn 30 until the day before the general election. But Ford said that doesn’t mean he’s inexperienced.

He has served eight years in the U.S. Air Force, including stays at Fort Carson in Colorado and Osan Air Base in South Korea. Since he was honorably discharged in September 2013, he said he’s been focused on his political career.

Ford said he’s concerned about the lawmakers representing Indiana. He notes that the number of members of Congress who have served in the armed forces is at an alltime low. He believes elected officials should see their job as a selfless duty, not a perk.

“Washington politicians are out of touch. They are so busy high-fiving each other and patting each other on the Ford back that they have forgotten that they serve at the pleasure of the people,” he said. “Too often, they return to their districts only to fundraise so they can go back to Washington. They believe that the people serve the establishment.”

Ford lives in Westfield with his wife, Marcella, and their 6-month-old son Ethan.

3 Republicans bid for Congress

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com When U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks took over the seat of longtime Republican congressman Dan Burton, who had served 30 years in that office, she had to stand out in a government crowded field. Brooks, who represents Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, defeated Scott Reske with 58 percent of the vote in 2012.

This year, she appears to have a challenge from an upstart candidate who enjoys Tea Party support and another who lives outside the district.

The 5th District contains the northern portion of Marion County and all of Indianapolis’ northern suburbs, and it stretches as far north as Marion.

THE INCUMBENT Susan Brooks – Brooks said she is most proud of helping constituents resolve 76 percent of the issues they have brought to her office and the passage of the SKILLS Act in Congress in March 2013. The bill would help to alleviate the current skills gap in the workforce by modernizing federal job-training programs and Brooks removing roadblocks that prevent job-seekers from receiving the in-demand training needed for many modern careers.

Brooks said her main goals over the next year are to pass legislation that repeals and replaces Obamacare with patient-centered reforms, and pass legislation that creates an environment for economic growth, business investment and job creation.

She said those are in line with Republican goals to cut wasteful government spending, pay down the national debt, simplify the tax code, secure the border, confront terrorist threats and restore the balance of power created by the nation’s founders by assuring the executive branch respects and abides by the laws Congress passes.

But she said she sees this primary as a chance for voters to choose who will best take on Obamacare and improve job prospects and job security in Indiana.

THE CHALLENGERS David Stockdale – David Stockdale said he decided to run for Congress because young folks like him, Tea Party folks and Libertarian-leaning Republicans, have become frustrated with the old guard in the party.

Stockdale said he would represent the Constitution and his constituents – not just the party. He said the nation is at a turning point because many people see no difference between Republicans and Democrats.

Stockdale The three central issues he sees being at stake in this primary are selecting a candidate who represents constituents and the Constitution, someone who will work for smaller government and less spending and someone who will work to uphold the Bill of Rights and not allow the NSA to continue infringing on citizens’ rights.

With regard to the economy, he said he would support the Fair Tax as a means of tax reform, and that there’s a need for entitlement reform, regulatory reform and transferring authority back to the states.

Stockdale said he would ask voters to realize that even though he hasn’t held elected office, he meets the Constitutional requirements to run for Congress.

He said he thinks that the best candidates often are the ones who have successfully run their own business and that this election will provide a chance to stop the growth of government.

Mike Campbell – Current in Carmel made numerous attempts to solicit answers from Campbell, but received none by press time.

Campbell does not reside within the boundaries of the 5th District and maintains a home in Cambridge City, in the eastern portion of central Indiana. Curent is not aware of a campaign website, campaign manager or even a fundraiser for the candidate.

Questions for Campbell can be directed to campbellforcongress2014@hotmail.com.

Jane Grimes’ goal is to raise awareness, support of autism in the community

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com When Noblesville resident and advocate Jane Grimes’ daughter Taylor, 15, was diagnosed with autism at age 6, the statistics of those with the condition was one in 10,000. cover story Now, nine years later, the national rate is one in 68 children according to a recently released CDC study. This is a 30 percent increase from the 2012 report.

Grimes said the increased rate is a result of better diagnosis, significant environmental factors, a genetic component and the spectrum is broad.

“Indiana is still the seventh-highest state in numbers in autism,” she said. “The numbers are soaring and they aren’t going to go away. There Grimes isn’t a cure.”

Community impact

“Although Hamilton County schools are very good, we still have a long way to go with inclusion for special-needs kids,” Grimes said, adding that autistic students in the county total 23 percent in the past two years.

“We kind of box the kids in. We need to take a different approach on how we include them more in academics as well as sports and special interests.”

Grimes said autistic families often face educational challenges including educating the teacher to the child.

“Every child with autism is so different – the way they lean and the way they think is so incredibly different than the other 25 kids in the classroom,” she said.

Because Hamilton County schools are known for special-needs programs, the number of autistic students continues to grow. As students graduate, Grimes said the adult population is going to

What has worked for Jane Autism is a journey and what works for one individual may not work at all for another. Jane Grimes shares what programs have worked for her family: “Music, horseback riding and swimming have really reduced my daughter’s anxieties. I believe honestly that the environment and teachers your child has can make it a huge success or the worst disaster for your child with autism and family life. Also, we have had great success with GlutenFree/CasienFree with a low sugar diet.

“For me personally, counseling and connecting with other families who at the time were one to three years ahead of me with their child’s age was huge for me. They gave me insight into what is coming and yet allowed me to cry and learn to laugh at all the craziness that goes with autism. It’s a journey, it’s exhausting, it’s expensive and it takes a significant toll on marriages, sibling and the entire family unit. Our grandparents need to become more involved as we need their support. We used counseling for many years due to areas in anxiety, divorce, social situations, etc. … in the end it really helped her learn coping skills which in my opinion are priceless.

“Many therapies and treatments exist so talk with others who have used them, get referrals and advice, and by all means stick with your “gut” feeling. I also believe that Special Olympics regardless of function level should be a must for your child. Initially, I will admit that I thought my child did not “need Special Olympics;” however, I believe it is a very good option and available to all.”

Current in Noblesville

www.currentnoblesville.com

continue to grow at significant rates that no one is prepared for.

“Three years from now we’ll have the largest number of individuals with autism … coming out of high school and we are not prepared. Can they live independently? Can they go on to college? Will they be living at home? It’s going to affect everyone,” she said. “I feel strongly that every single one can get employment – simple jobs that are repeatable depending on where their levels are.”

Issues

Grimes said the top three biggest challenges a family with autism faces are acceptance, the financial burden and support.

“As a parent it’s exhausting. You’re so caught up in the now that it’s hard to think of what the next journey is or what the future holds for not only your child with autism but the entire family,” she said. “So immersed in tackling and getting through the day or the week that we don’t spend the time you need to think about two weeks from now, let alone 10 years from now.”

Grimes said support can come from a friendly smile during tough times in public to neighbors or family friends offering to watch the child so the parents can get a break or have a date night.

“Everyone’s heard the word autism. Not everybody understands the different levels of autism but we are getting better,” Grimes said, adding the spectrum ranges from non-verbal to high functioning.

Grimes said a lot of people with autism look very typical but act up because something in their environments, sensory-wise, sets them off. It could be the sunlight is too bright, sirens or too many people in a room.

“Whether you are a good parent or not, the child has a disability,” said Grimes. “People need to be more understanding regardless of where you are at and ask to help. If something happens it’s OK to ask a family if they need help instead of staring or judging. Jump in and help or give them a friendly smile and say, ‘It’s OK.’ These simple things are part of the acceptance goal.”

Sharing knowledge

In September, Grimes launched the Autism Companion magazine.

“I just jumped in,” she said. “I quit my nice six-figure job to launch a quarterly magazine. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. It addresses so many questions, anxieties and worries that a family goes through in the autism journey.”

Grimes said the target audience is families, educators and medical professionals. Sections are broken down by years and include several articles in each edition written by those with autism.

“It’s a glimpse of what an individual with autism really thinks, how they feel, how their brain works and what they want you

to know,” Grimes said. “It brings more knowledge into our community in general.”

The magazine, which is created with a team of volunteers, contains expert topics including special education, speech and language, neurology, behavior and nutrition. Grimes said the goal is to inform and let others know they are not alone in the autism world.

“I wanted there to be more knowledge in the community and more support to the families – being behind the scenes to make a difference,” she said. “It’s such a significant, difficult journey. A piece of my heart is in each magazine. It’s who I am.

Autism Companion is circulated in Hamilton County and the other counties surrounding Marion County.

“My goal is for it to be a state magazine but the funding is not there yet,” Grimes said.

On April 23, Grimes will host the “Have a Heart for Autism” fundraiser at the Colts Pavilion. The sold-out event features keynote speaker Holly Robinson Peete, actress and mother of an autistic child.

Show choir takes third

By Mary Pat Freeman • news@currentnoblesville.com The Noblesville High School New Dimensions Show Choir recently placed third at the Indiana State Schoool Music Asachievement sociation Women’s Large Division State Show Choir Competition. New Dimensions is led by Michael Douce, show choir director, and Angie Resler, NHS choral director.

“What an honor,” said Douce. “The 42 girls have worked so hard, it’s just amazing.”

Schools from across the state compete at 13 prequalification ISSMA show choir events and the top nine scorers are invited to compete for the ISSMA state finals. To prequalify, NHS’s chose to attend only two prequalification contests, Fishers and Lawrence Central.

“We worked hard on our performance and wanted to compete with the best - that’s why we picked these two qualification events,” Douce said.

At 3 p.m. April 27 all three NHS competitive show choirs are hosting the Ball State University Singers for a special afternoon of song, dance and entertainment in the high school auditorium. The event is being held to raise money for the NHS choral program. Tickets are $10 per person and can be bought online at www.showchoir.eventbrite.com.

Corporate and personal contribution event sponsors also are needed for NHS Choral to host the event. All money raised will be used to provide the necessary annual funding for continuance of the program. For more information, contact Kathy Houghtalen at houghtalen@gmail.com.

Why shop local?

Commentary by Carrie Courtney As Noblesville continues to grow, there is surely no shortage of restaurants, strip malls and department stores to choose from for our meals and daily Business local purchases.

Whether you are looking to take your family out for a hassle-free meal, find a gift for someone special, improve your home, yard or garden, or shop for your dayto-day needs and wants, you have a choice. You can choose to be a consumer of local restaurants, shops and services, or you can spend your money at big box stores and corporate companies. Does it matter? Is there really a difference if you shop local?

The community benefits and so do you. Eating, shopping and buying locally supports your friends and neighbors. Your hard-earned money doesn’t get siphoned into some corporate account in another state helping to pay for a CEO’s third vacation home. Instead, shopping from locally owned businesses helps your neighborhood boutique owner, for example, use her revenue to get braces for her son, purchase a basketball uniform, or continue piano lessons. As a result, any profit made from your purchase is returned right back into your community schools and other local businesses. This economic benefit is

referred to as the local premium.

In 2008, Civic Economics discovered that for every $100 spent at a local business, $68 funnels directly back into the community, whereas only $43 does when it is spent at a nonlocal business. Why? Because local business owners are local themselves! Where big-box stores outsource and pay out of state management and use national companies for their operation, local business owners: • Seek out local banking, accountants, attorneys, designers, food sources, office supplies and inventory.

• Find local service companies for their maintenance, repairs, printing and advertising.

• Hire local employees who are our friends and neighbors who also spend their earnings within our community.

• Give more generously to our community schools, charities, fundraisers, churches and community nonprofit organizations.

• Pay local taxes that support our schools and improve our roads (nonlocal big box stores can create an annual tax deficit of $468 for every 1,000 square feet. – localfirstbloomington.org).

• Reduce the global footprint by utilizing other local companies and services and local food/inventory sources, eliminating more long distant deliveries.

• Convenience – Eating and shopping local saves you gas and time. This makes you more environmentally sustainable and gives you more time for the important things in life.

• Greater sense of community – Local consumption keeps stores open, retail corridors healthy, and builds relationships while supporting your friends, family and neighbors.

You have a choice. Next time you go out to eat, need a service, or go out shopping … use your buying power and think local first.

FROM THE EDITOR

Hypocrisy in the springtime

Egg-cellent examples

As you may know, President Barack Obama is once again leading from behind and is reaching for the same tired arguments of the past in hopes of Democrats gaining ground in the upcoming midterm elections. His latest dime-store strategy: The pay gap between men and women. Well, according to an Associated Press story, an analysis conducted by the conservative American Enterprise Institute, found Obama’s female aides were paid 88 cents for every dollar paid to men, about $65,000 to $73,729 annually.

But here’s the really wonderful display of hypocrisy: White House Press Secretary Jay Carney argued the comparison is based on aggregate wages that include the lowest salaries at the White House, adding, “which may or may not be - depending on the institution - filled by more women than men.” OK, so let’s get this straight: It’s fine for government to use this excuse, but in the private sector, something untoward is taking place. Ah, yes, there is nothing quite like liberal hypocrisy in the springtime.

••• To those who are in line with us for the annual fleecing today, misery loves company, we suppose. Before we blink, Tax Liberation Day (not a real holiday) will be somewhere around Thanksgiving. Once and for all, reduce spending, cut government bloat and let’s have some meaningful leadership!

••• There’s nothing quite like a little surprise in calculus class. It’s not what you’re thinking, though. Recently, Stephen “Pete” Freeman, the son of Eric and Beth Freeman, was surprised in his Noblesville High School class with the news that he is the Hamilton County recipient for the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship. He was cited for academic achievement and community volunteerism. Freeman will receive a four-year, full-tuition scholarship at any accredited public or private college or university in Indiana. He is favoring Notre Dame at the moment. Congratulate him and wish him luck. We certainly do.

Prognostication

Commentary by Terry Anker

As much as we humans are the same (our tolerance for climate, days without water and isolation from each other fall into fairly narrow bands), we take a near excessive pride in our distinctions. Amused by this reality, one might suggest to the latest brand of hipster that the excessive goal of uniqueness only ensures that one is different in exactly the same way as all others who seek distinction in entirely the same way! We cannot entirely escape the subtle cues that expose our history and predict our potentials regardless of one’s facial hair or body art.

Communities, too, find little safe-harbor from these indications. Each, in its own way, betrays the secrets of its past, tells the story of its present and unwittingly forecasts a projection of its future. Athens recalls a storied history with grand edifices perched at the Acropolis but its present-day empty store fronts and careless graffiti speak to its contemporary challenges to keep up with northern Europe. Present day London is bustling with commerce. The streets are

filled in the early morning with citizens navigating the many construction sites converting notable buildings into more modern configurations.

One is immersed in wealth. Bentley’s wiz by transporting harried fund-managers to the first stop on the daily schedule. But even here, does the empire wane? Russian oligarchs are displacing the local aristocracy with brute force and sheer wealth. For either of these two examples, will the future carry decline or renaissance? And, what indicators can help them to influence that trajectory.

In our own cities and towns, we can find the same watermarks. Are we brick streets, or performance halls, or sports fields, or town squares, or lakes, or green pastures? Are we robust or sickly? Most importantly, are we paying attention? Time alone will tell.

It’s egg hunting time again! And that means finding the baskets stuffed somewhere in the back of a closet, grabbing the camera, heading to the local park and praying you find a parking spot that’s in eyesight of the fields of eggs.

As a journalist, egg hunts are a doubleedged sword. As great as the photographs are from the event, it’s very stressful. Depending on the venue, you have two to three minutes to snap as many quality pictures as you can.

Then you get to play a fun game of “Where’s Waldo” to find parents of the children you took photos of to get names – most heading straight to their vehicles.

I think what the city, churches and other organizations do to host the free events is admirable. We’re lucky to live in a place where you get to pick and choose which egg hunts to attend since so many coincide.

Last year was my first time attending egg hunts as a parent and my observations from a community event rubbed me the wrong way.

My daughter was in the 0-2 age group and parents were carrying their kids to the highest concentration of eggs and actually throwing them into their baskets. As if that wasn’t enough, I saw other kids being dragging by a guardian to the next plastic container and move on as their tiny legs were still trying to get traction with the ground. It made me want to give them a buck and say, “Stop at a store, buy some candy and please stay home next year.” What made me shake my head most was the fact that these kids weren’t even old enough to eat the piece of candy inside the egg.

By the way, my daughter had a blast collecting her three eggs last year and I know she will again this year. I’m just hoping the prospect of free sugar doesn’t cause adults to act the age of their children.

A vacation from motherhood Commentary by Danielle Wilson I think everyone would agree that this past winter was a tough one. Long, cold, and way too many school cancellations and humor delays. As a teacher, I desperately needed this Spring Break just to catch a breather. The stress of planning makeup lessons and quickening the pace had left me overwhelmed and frazzled. Unfortunately, my kids are in a different school system, and the calendars did not coincide this year. Not wanting to be stuck here though, Doo finagled a way for him and our kids to get to Florida through a one-way flight out of Kentucky, a rental mini-van in Tampa, and a long drive home up constructionridden I-65. I would remain here, since I’d be back to work by then.

Actually, I was looking forward to both weeks.

The first would give me seven hours each day to myself while my minions were at school. And I’d finally get to catch up on all those put-off house projects. I even scheduled a few fun things, like getting a spray-tan (No UVA rays for this ginger, but I still like to look alive), and going for my annual pap smear (nothing says vacation like “speculum!”). What I didn’t count on was the fact that the kids weren’t on break yet. So there was still dance, track, violin, tumbling, soccer, band, and orthodontics appointments to coordinate. I still had to get up at six every morning and organize lunches and pets. I still had to prep dinner and

help with homework. Restful? Relaxing? Not as much as I’d anticipated. Is it any wonder I was thoroughly disheartened and a tad bitter when I tromped back into school the following Monday, knowing my husband was sipping Mai Tais on a warm beach?

Unexpectedly though, I actually enjoyed getting back to my students and daily routine. Turns out, teaching hadn’t been bogging me down as much as the demands of parenting had been.

So that second week was heaven! Sure, I had to work, but when I came home, I had nothing to do. The house was still clean; I had no carpooling duties nor schedules to coordinate; I didn’t have to ground a teenager or even create a last minute life-size drawing of Eli Lilly for Famous Hoosier Day. I ate cereal for dinner, watched the entire second season of Downtown Abbey, and was able to turn off all the lights at 9 o’clock.

No guilt, no marital friction, no kid drama. It was honestly a fantastic pseudo-Spring Break!

What’s the moral of my tale? Sand and surf aren’t the only ways to recuperate from a nasty winter. A vacation from motherhood can work just as well.

Peace out.

‘I Love A Piano’ a tribute to Irving Berlin’s genius

By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com

In the spirit of preserving the Great American Songbook, The Actors Theatre of Indiana is closing out its 2013-14 season with a salute to one of America’s most beloved lyricists and songwriters. theatre “I Love A Piano” will showcase writer Irving Berlin’s music and life when it comes to the Studio Theatre stage April 25 in the Center for the Performing Arts.

“I Love a Piano” is an all-singing, alldancing revue that includes more than 60 of Berlin’s

classic songs, such as “Blue Skies,” “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “Anything You Can Do,” “God Bless America,” and, the show’s namesake, “I Love a Piano,” interspersed with tidbits of information about Berlin’s life.

Berlin’s history as a Jewish immigrant from Russia along with his innate hopeful romanticism will set the scene for simple stories about everyday American life set to beautiful melodies that have become a soundtrack of the 20th century.

Berlin’s accomplishments are truly amazing considering he never studied music, let alone maintained the ability to read or write it. His career started out of necessity after the death of his father, so he became a singing waiter who composed his own music as it garnered bigger tips.

“Some people who praise his work say that he Shepard was such a genius because of the simplicity of the language,” said Kenny Shepard, co-director and co-choreographer of ATI’s production. “It was just bare bones. These are the words, these are the simple melodies, and the marriage of the two touch your heart.”

Both Indianapolis natives, Shepard and Carol Worcel, his business partner and Worcel co-director and co-choreographer, specialize in musical storytelling and use their many years of national touring experience. They plan to use their talents to exquisitely tell the story of Berlin’s music through song and dance complete with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers ballroom elegance, 1940’s dance hall swing and a showstopping tap extravaganza.

The show also includes a Falling in Love section featuring Berlin’s famous love songs, a storyline focused on his movie music, a Fifth Avenue section complete with a mock Easter Parade and a small wedding as well as the show-stopper, “There’s No Business Like Show Business” from “Annie Get Your Gun.” Berlin, a World War I veteran was also very patriotic and wrote songs about his love for America, with the most famous being “God Bless America,” which was made famous by singer Kate Smith and gained a new significance following the Sept. 11 attacks.

The cast features Cynthia Collins, Michael Dotson, Judy Fitzgerald, Don Farrell, Bradley Reynolds and Mary Jayne Waddell - all veteran actors who have appeared in numerous ATI shows.

Michael Berkeley arranged the music and will be at the helm of the baby grand piano.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for new audiences to get to know the resident company, and if they can walk away and feel like they know a little more about Irving Berlin and about our performers, then we have done our job,” Shepard said.

At 2 p.m. May 4, ATI will also host a “Behind the Curtain” talk with the cast, designers and Chris Lewis, program director for the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative, immediately following the performance.

“I Love A Piano” • April 25 though May 11 • Studio Theatre • The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • Tickets start at $20 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www. thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

RITZ CHARLES | 12156 N. Meridian Street | Carmel, IN RSVP at www.chauciesplace.org Kids can watch Peeps experiments during the Easter Celebration at Conner Prairie in Fishers. (Submitted photo)

By Pete Smith • pete@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie plans to have events for the whole family during its Easter Celebration on April 19. easter Kids will have the chance to collect candy and Easter eggs, compete in egg-and-spoon races and egg rolling, and other historical games. And older kids can watch the ubiquitous and nearly indestructible Peeps marshmallows as they fizz, freeze and inflate during a science demonstration.

“Easter in Prairietown is fascinating,” said Jason Adams, Conner Prairie’s manager of science interpretation. “We’re making some fun crafts out there.”

And of course the Easter Bunny will be there, too. But make sure to get to Conner Prairie early so kids can enjoy breakfast while they pose for pictures with the furry rodent. Breakfast settings are available at 8:30 and 11:30 a.m., but reservations are required.

The Science of Peeps events start at 11 a.m. at the welcome center, and new presentations begin on the hour through 4 p.m. For the finale of each presentation, kids will see how the Peep responds to a high impact crash by shooting them out of a potato cannon.

It’s all part of an increased focus on science at Conner Prairie, Adams said, noting that Conner Prairie was an experimental farm itself until the 1970s.

And his mind, the science experiments fall into that tradition. And when else would kids get to expose the indestructible common American Peep to radiation or extreme acidic conditions?

“The candy activities will be really fun, too,” Adams conceded.

The Egg-Stravaganza events take place at the Overlook Lawn starting at 2 p.m. The most important of which – for candy fans – is the egg drop, which is broken down by age group.

And don’t forget to watch artist Laura Clack as she decorates eggs with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resistant (batik) method from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

And it wouldn’t be Conner Prairie without a fun way to learn about history. So in 1836 Prairietown kids can discover how the Zimmerman family dyes Easter eggs.

Open up most of your brokerage, IRA or 401(k) plan statements and you’ll most likely find a plethora of investment options Finance that you are currently invested in or have the option to allocate your funds. The typical diversified investment statement will have a general mix of domestic and international investments across both broad-equity (stock) and fixed-income (bond) asset classes.

The goal of most of these portfolios is to accomplish what every client wants in their portfolio - to gain the most amount of return with the least amount of risk possible.

What sometimes gets overlooked, though, is the next layer of allocation among those funds.

Most of the time we observe a large portion of portfolios exposed to, “large cap growth” funds and a significant underweighting or complete lack of small cap funds. By definition, large cap refers to companies that have a market capitalization of greater than $10 billion and “small cap” stocks generally have a total market capitalization of between $300 million and $2 billion.

However, re-evaluating a portfolio and looking at an investor’s exposure to “small cap” investments or funds is worth the time and effort if we compare the historical past performance of these investments. For this conversation, we’ll use the S&P 500 to evaluate “large cap” and the

Russell 2000 index to evaluate “small cap.”

For the context of this article, let’s look back over the past 15 years (1998 – 2013) and keep in mind this includes two recessions. The S&P 500 had an average return of 7.41 percent, compared to the Russell 2000 having a return of 9.07 percent.

That may not sound like much, you say – 1.66 percent across 10 years. But if we put that into dollar terms, a $100,000 invested into either portfolio at the beginning of the time period and, assuming all dividends are reinvested, would be worth very different values: $255,285 for the S&P 500 compared to $327,632 for the Russell 2000.

So how much should you allocate to small caps? This is impossible to answer as there are no one-size-fits-all answers in investing. This is also not to suggest that investors should rush to reallocate their entire portfolio to small cap stocks — this would be very ill-advised and there is a slightly higher degree of risk that comes along with investing in small cap stocks that must be considered.

The point to take away here is to make sure that you are taking the right amount of calculated risk for your portfolio given your goals.

A list of grammar peeves

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Hi Jordan, I have a few pet peeves about frequent grammar errors I see and would love for you to clear them grammar guy up for either me or the rest of the world. Here they are.

1. An apostrophe “s” after a last name.

Example:“The Smith’s are here. I don’t know what the Smiths own that are here, but the suspense is killing me.

2. A cents symbol after a price that has already been given the decimal point to symbolize cents. Example: .69c (instead of $.69). I don’t know how you divide a penny into 69/100ths but I’d be willing to round up to a full penny when purchasing that pack of gum.

3. When people talk about going “further” on their drive than me. I believe they went “farther.” Furthermore, I believe they used the wrong word.

Thanks for making grammar so fun! I love reading your articles! (Marcy Vigren) Answer: Thanks for writing in, and for your kind words, Marcy. Normally I wouldn’t do three questions in one column, but all of these annoy me, too, so I think we can knock them out quickly.

• Apostrophes do not make words plural (except when they do). I’ve written a previous column about this, but a refresher

is always useful. An apostrophe-“s” after a noun makes it possessive, not plural, in almost all circumstances. A notable exception is making lowercase letters plural (i.e.

“Mind your p’s and q’s”).

• Cents get a dollar sign and a decimal OR a cents sign. You could write $0.75, or 75¢, or even, I suppose, 75 cents, and all would be equally correct. But .75¢ would suggest you are talking about fractions of a cent, which is probably best left to bankers and gas station price boards. On the whole, I’d recommend sticking with the dollar sign, since most keyboards don’t even have a ¢-sign anymore.

• Further and farther are complicated.

I’ve dedicated a previous column to this, but the simple answer is that “farther” indicates physical distance and “further” indicates an addition or improvement. The complicated answer is that they’ve historically been used more or less interchangeably and the distinction between them is a fairly modern one. I’d refer you to my previous column for a more elaborative discussion.

Awaiting the Messiah

Commentary by Don Knebel

Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives has been important to Christians since the first century. Jesus met with his disciples among its olive travel trees, prayed with them near its base at Gethsemane and ascended to heaven from its peak near Bethany, sites all now marked by churches. For even longer, the Mount of Olives has been important to many Jews, who still seek to be buried along its slope.

The Mount of Olives lies across the Kidron Valley from the eastern wall of the Temple Mount.

According to Jewish tradition, the Messiah will signal his arrival by coming down the Mount of Olives, crossing the Kidron Valley and entering the Temple through the eastern wall’s Golden Gate. When Jesus followed this path riding a donkey, he was welcomed as the Messiah by followers waving palm branches. Rabbi Irving Greenberg famously said in 1967 that the difference between Jews and Christians will finally be settled when the Messiah descends the Mount of Olives and announces whether it’s his first or second trip.

To the left of the path that modern visitors take down to Mount of Olives is an ancient cemetery, containing about 70,000 tombs from the time of King Solomon’s Temple to the present.

For thousands of years, Jews desiring a ringside seat for the Messiah’s arrival have been interred along the Mount of Olives’ western slope. They A P I H A E R R Y

believe, like other Jews and Christians, that the Messiah’s appearance (first or second) will initiate the bodily resurrection of the dead. Consequently, they are buried with their feet to the east to be able to greet the Messiah face to face as they arise from their tombs. In the meantime, people pay their respects by placing small rocks on the stone tomb covers, reflecting their belief that the entombed souls are eternal.

A single grave site on the Mount of Olives reportedly costs up to $85,000. For those who can’t afford to await the Messiah from there, there may be no reason to worry. An ancient legend says believers from around the world will be able to tunnel to the Mount of Olives when the Messiah arrives.

Total remodel of ranch-style home Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING HOME: This home in the 96th Street and College Avenue area was built in 1998 but had been unoccupied blueprint for for a few years. The improvement owner was able to purchase the home from a family member. “The whole house was severely outdated and I was skeptical about buying it. To ease my concerns, my dad recommended a complete house remodel. I trusted his judgment and decided to move ahead with the purchase.”

DESIGN PHASE: Every single room in the dated one-story ranch needed a facelift. “I knew I wanted dark cabinetry and bamboo wood flooring throughout the house. While working through the design phase, the rest of the details fell into place.”

KITCHEN DETAILS: The original kitchen was completely gutted and replaced with dark maple cabinets, granite countertops, a tiled backsplash and coordinating stainless steel appliances. To brighten up the kitchen and illuminate the dark cabinetry, new recessed light fixtures were strategically installed around the perimeter of the cabinets. Long plank bamboo flooring with a “baked natural” finish was installed not only in the kitchen, but throughout the entire house.

GUEST BATH: Everything but the mirror was

replaced in the guest bathroom. A dark maple vanity was installed with a coordinating “Autumn Brown” granite countertop. The original tub and ceramic tile surround was replaced with a deep soaking tub and shower wall surround.

MASTER BATH: The original master bath had old carpet, outdated fixtures and peeling wallpaper. Everything was gutted and prepped for a complete remodel. The same dark maple cabinetry and granite countertops were kept consistent with the guest bathroom vanity. Replicating the look of natural travertine, porcelain tile called “Giotto Gris” was used for the floor and shower walls. The shower was finished with a new brushed nickel shower head and a semiframeless glass shower enclosure.

FINAL RESULT: After all the planning and construction, the dated house was transformed into this first-time homeowner’s dream home. “The kitchen is by far my favorite room in the entire house. I like the way the colors all turned out with the dark cabinets and light-colored countertops and backsplash.”
