30 South Range Line Road Carmel, IN 46032 317.489.4444 info@youarecurrent.com The views of the columnists in Current in Noblesville are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

Eighth-grader Luke Moody believes it’s important to support Third World nations, but he also knows the GIVING BACK importance of serving his community.

That’s why the Our Lady of Grace student is creating a school project on global issues on man’s best friend, raising money for bulletand stab-resistant vests for police dogs.

“The first idea I had was to fund clean water, and while this, too, is an important issue, I was simply not as interested in that topic,” Moody said. “But when I found this one, I was immediately connected to the subject and have been very passionate about it since then.”

Moody’s research showed many police departments, after investing thousands in purchasing and training a K-9, don’t have funds to buy vests, which can cost as much as $3,000.

“A significant motivator to do this project was the fact that in the past four years, 117 police dogs have died in the line of duty,” Moody said. “Meanwhile, a police K-9 in Florida survived three gunshots with the protection of his vest. I felt like I could actually make a difference.”

Moody’s science teacher, Angela Bond, loved the idea.

“It always amazes me they come up with ideas I would not have thought of. His cause is simple but a really good one that will grow on its own,” Bond said. “A lot of people will be passionate about helping out animals, and something like this, where you can connect with law enforcement, is really great.”

It’s a connection Moody already has. His dad is in law enforcement, and his dog, a German shepherd named Willow, was bred to be a service dog. All of her littermates went to police search and rescue.

Through his GoFundMe page, Man’s Vest Friend, Moody said he wanted to raise enough

money to outfit one of the three Noblesville Police Dept.’s K-9s. But as of late last month, $4,000 had been raised, surpassing the initial goal of $1,500, meaning Moody will be able to provide vests for all three of the department’s K-9s.

“People are extremely generous, especially when it comes to supporting those who sacrifice daily to protect us,” Moody said. “This clearly includes K-9 officers who literally live their lives to protect ours. There is so much we can accomplish when we work together.”

Moody said he plans to keep the GoFundMe page open at least through National Police Week (May 12-18) and the May 18 Run With The Cops 5K in Noblesville.

“If I continue to get donations after that, I may possibly be able to reach out to other departments to assess their need,” he said.

Ditslear honored at Arbor Day ceremony news@currentnoblesville.com For 29 consecutive years, the City of Noblesville has kept its Tree City USA designation from the Arbor ENVIRONMENT Day Foundation.

The recognition is given annually near Arbor Day, the last Friday in April, to cities with a commitment to effective urban forest management, including four requirements: a city tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance proclamation.

“Being a Tree City USA member for almost three decades shows the importance that the city and its citizens have for our environment and its sustainability year after year,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said.

“I also want to thank the Noblesville Tree Board for its overall care of city street trees and the educational outlet and projects it provides our residents.”

In the last year of his last term before retirement, Ditslear was honored April 26 at Federal Hill Commons, where a red oak tree was planted and dedicated in his name for his 16 years as mayor.

“Transcending times and cultures, the oak has symbolized strength and endurance and was officially declared as the United States’ National Tree in 2004,” said Vince Baker, Noblesville’s urban forester. “Mayor Ditslear has shown similar strength and endurance leading Noblesville into the future throughout his four terms.”

To continue celebrating Arbor Day, Noblesville Tree Board members will attend the May 4 farmers market at Federal Commons from 8 a.m. to noon to distribute free black gum tree saplings and other gifts and tree information.

She also is a member of the National Association of Parliamentarians. “My position is a public trust, and I take my responsibilities seriously,” Lees stated. “Taking every opportunity to learn more and serve my community better is a given for me. Certification Lees is a rigorous process, and I’m proud to have achieved it during my first term in office.” Clerk Lees began her first term in office on January 1, 2016, after serving one term as Deputy Clerk-Treasurer.

NHS grads reach Indy 500 fest goal

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Being a 500 Festival Princess is a trip down memory lane for Tori Chandler.

“My grandACHIEVEMENT mother used to take me to the 500 Festival Parade and we would watch the Princesses every year,” Chandler said. “I forgot about those memories until I was a freshman in Chandler college and my grandparents (Gene and Vicky Babinec) cut out a newspaper sheet with information on the 500 Festival and put it on my dresser when I came home from Christmas break. It’s a goal I started working toward, and then I was thankful my senior year to be accepted into the program.”

Chandler, a 2015 Noblesville High School graduate, is a senior at St. Mary’s College in South Bend. She will start at Indiana University law school at IUPUI in August.

Sarah Knight, a 2016 NHS graduate, is another of the 33 Princesses.

Chandler said she is looking forward to the May 25 parade and Kids’ Day May 11 on Monument Circle in Indianapolis.

“I just want to get the community more active and involved and proud to be Hoosiers,” she said.

Knight is a junior majoring in health sciences at

Butler. She said she plans to go on for post-graduate work to become a physicians’ assistant.

“I went to the Indy 500 in 2015 and I sat at the finish line and saw the Princesses right across from me,” Knight said.

“I looked into the program more and saw it was a scholarship, leadership and professional development program and immediately was interested. The professional and leadership development was what really Knight drew me in.”

Knight was NHS’s student body president as a senior.

“I’m thankful (for what) Noblesville gave me because it’s prepared me for these kinds of leadership opportunities,” she said.

Knight said her Kappa Alpha Theta sorority sister, Anna Rather, was a Princess.

“She’s been really supportive through the process and given me good advice,” she said.

Knight said she especially looks forward to participating in the Kids Day and Rookie Run. The Rookie Run is for kids ages 3-10.

“I love working with kids,” she said. “A lot of my community outreaches have focused on working with kids. Right now, I read at a local elementary school, so that is kind of what I’m used to. I’m excited to see all the kids having fun.”

As your next Mayor, I will work tirelessly to ensure that all residents’ voices are heard and that all citizens feel a sense of love, security and belonging. As you decide who to hire to serve as our next Mayor, know that none of us are pre-ordained or promised this position. I am the right leader — the right woman — at the right time for Noblesville.

YMI gives students role models Commentary by Alison Gatz A local nonprofit, Youth Mentoring Initiative, has been serving the Fishers community, in partnership with NONPROFIT Hamilton Southeastern Schools, since 2008.

YMI partners with our schools to come alongside counselors, teachers and parents by providing another caring adult to support and encourage the success of each student.

YMI Mentors are adult volunteers who mentor once a week, for one hour, during the school day. Mentors meet one-on-one with students to provide them with a caring and consistent presence in their lives; become a reliable friend; a role model; and simply someone they can count on. Founded on the knowledge that kids need approximately four to six non-parental adults supporting them through their developmental years, mentoring can have a profound impact on a child’s life.

YMI mentors are a vital resource not only to HSE Schools initiatives to further the social and emotional well-being of their students but also to parents looking for additional support. Each week, approximately 300 mentors visit students in the schools, offering encouragement and being

an example of why Fishers and the school district continues to excel in the quest to be a vibrant community.

YMI mentoring is offered in the following nine schools: Fall Creek Intermediate; Fall Creek Junior High; Fishers Junior High; Fishers High School; Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate Junior High; Hamilton Southeastern High School; Riverside Intermediate; Riverside Junior High; and Sand Creek Intermediate.

Mentoring times vary according to the student’s schedule and can be accommodating to the mentor’s work schedule. If you have an hour a week to spend with a student, we’d love for you to consider joining us. Students can be recommended by counselors, teachers and parents by completing a recommendation form on the YMI website.

Learn more about becoming a mentor or financially supporting our work by visiting us online at ymionline.org. YMI is changing the world, one student at a time.

Last year, we announced our Best for Kids strategic plan designed to enhance the learning experience at SCHOOLS Noblesville Schools and provide our students increased support for success.

I wanted to take this opportunity to provide an update on the important work we’ve been doing regarding the plan’s diversity component.

At Noblesville Schools, we are committed to creating a culture that understands, accepts, celebrates and respects the diversity of all of our students, staff and the community.

Since 2017, we have implemented approximately 60 different action items across the district focused on building a stronger culture of equity and acceptance in our schools. This is in addition to our community outreach as founding members of the Noblesville Diversity Coalition.

Some examples of the work that’s been happening include staff development, data collection, goal setting and measurement, curriculum reviews with an eye toward diverse resources and representation, en-

hanced student diversity communications and support and changes in our recruiting practices to identify more diverse candidates for consideration.

One change in particular I’m excited to share is an update to our district mission that speaks directly to our commitment of celebrating diversity and promoting equity for all.

Noblesville Schools creates an inclusive, learner-centered culture that develops future-ready skills through relevant experiences supported by strong relationships that celebrate diversity and promote equity among students, staff, parents and the community.

If you’d like to learn more about our diversity efforts, please find the appropriate representative at your school to connect with for further discussion by visiting bit. ly/2UBOR8S. I’d also encourage you to engage with the Noblesville Diversity Coalition at facebook.com/NoblesvilleDiversity.

Noblesville Youth Assistance ramps up program to help feed kids

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County is one of the state’s wealthiest communities, leading to a common misconception that it does not have people in need.

COVER STORY One organization is looking to increase its operations this summer to help Noblesville families, especially children.

Last year, the Noblesville Youth Assistance Program took the lead on a summer lunch program that benefits Noblesville Schools students who receive free and reducedprice lunch. This year, the program is expected to grow significantly with a new way to reach more who may need assistance.

“That was our first summer rolling out with it completely as our own program,” said Brandy Egan, an early intervention advocate with NYAP. “We have found a new way to be able to mass message (through the school district), so we anticipate our numbers to be quite a bit higher this year.”

In past years, NYAP and its summer lunch program partners targeted neighborhoods.

“We would type up a letter, and we would ask the school to send it to the free and reduced lunch population in certain neighborhoods,” Egan said.

“Because at that time, we didn’t know what we were looking at, numbers-wise, so we didn’t want to open it up to all free and reduced lunch (students) and then not be able to serve them,” said Ashlan Cavender, early intervention advocate with NYAP. “But this year, we are targeting that entire population at Noblesville Schools.”

According to Egan and Cavender, approximately 25 percent of Noblesville Schools students qualify for free and reduced lunch.

“Fishers Youth Assistance Program had started their own summer lunch program, and when they found out they could use mass messaging to get the word out about their program, they had to cap it at 600,” Egan said. “Last summer, we had 250 students that we served, so this year, we’re anticipating a number between 500 and 600, but we aren’t going to cap it. Our board decided that we aren’t going to tell a family they can’t receive our services or that they’re going to be put on a wait list.”

On the back end, Egan and Cavender said operations can be hectic. Shopping and checking out at the grocery store alone is a chore when volunteers are packing carts with hundreds of the same items.

However, for families in need, the process is simple. A message is sent with a link to sign up. From there, families can choose a distribution site and schedule a pick-up time to fit their schedule.

Nearly a dozen sites throughout the city make up the distribution network. Packing is done on Mondays at Ivy Tech on Conner Street for once-a-week distribution. The packs contain snacks and lunches for the entire week during the eight weeks of Noblesville Schools’ summer break.

Meal bags are packed with the student in mind, Egan said.

“They get a menu in the bags, and basically the items in the bags they can use to make the things on the menu,” Egan added. “It’s all stuff that most school-aged children could make themselves, like a sandwich and soup.”

“It’s really meant to take the place of the lunch the students would be getting if they were in school,” Cavender said.

Egan said one snack and meal for one student costs NYAP approximately $2.50, amounting to $12.50 per week, or $100 for the summer.

“It really becomes a financial burden to some of these families when their kids are no longer eating two meals a day at school for free,” Egan said. “We’re working with families that are already on a fixed income, and if they have four kids, that’s $400 extra. Where does that come from?”

NYAP uses resources for the summer lunch program through its partnership with Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank. The program receives an allotted amount of food in

pounds through the food bank in addition to a portion of the HCHFB’s proceeds of Meijer’s Simply Give program.

“But we get that amount whether we serve 250 kids or 700 kids,” Egan said. “We really are trying to get the word out so people understand what we are taking on.”

GIVE BACK • Volunteer — Noblesville Youth Assistance Program always is accepting volunteers in various capacities, from food packing to shopping and more.

• Donate — Those who wish to donate to the summer lunch program can do so at fundly.com/lunch-program or by mailing a check to Noblesville Youth Assistance Progra, 1775 Field Dr., Noblesville 46060.

• Pack the Cruiser — The annual Pack the Cruiser food drive is set for June 1. In Noblesville, Kroger stores at 172 W. Logan St and 14800 Hazel Dell Crossing, are participating to let shoppers help pack a police cruiser full of food for the summer lunch program.

Why local elections are critical Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Why vote? You’re only one person. Is it really worth it to take time out of your busy Tuesday to wait in line at your neighborhood precinct to cast a ballot for a ELECTION few people you’ve never met? Absolutely.

The best-kept secret about local government is that it affects your daily life far more than you probably realize. Off the top of my head, local elected officials are responsible for making decisions about our roads, schools, taxes, police and fire departments, parks, housing, sewers, snow removal and public transportation. If any of those items seem important to you, then you should vote.

While I just listed a nuts-and-bolts scope of municipal government areas of oversight, our local elected leaders also are largely responsible for the direction of our cities.

These men and women cast vision for the types of cities we aspire to be in 5, 10 and even 20 years down the road.

These decisions will affect our lives as well as our children’s lives for the foreseeable future. Not only do mayors and city councilors handle the unglamorous, day-to-day duties of running our towns and cities, but they are responsible for shaping the soul of our communities.

The fact of the matter is we had excellent turnout in the general election in last November’s midterm elections; 58.4 percent of registered voters in Hamilton County cast a ballot. That’s pretty impressive, yet only a fraction of the people who showed up in 2018 also voted in our last mayoral and city council primary elections in 2015. For instance, in Noblesville (where I live), around 5,400 people decided the 2015 Republican mayoral primary, which essentially was the general election. Contrast that number with last year’s midterm general elections, when nearly 25,000 out of Noblesville’s 43,000 eligible residents voted. Similarly, out of more than 70,000 registered voters in Carmel, only 14,000 voters cast votes in a contested mayoral primary race in 2015, while 44,000 Carmel voters participated in November 2018.

Fun fact: in Indiana, you can choose whether you want a Democratic or Republican ballot in a primary, regardless of your self-identified party affiliation. So, even if you don’t consider yourself a Republican, you can vote in the Republican primary. Also, early voting makes it so easy to vote at a convenient time that will avoid any Election Day lines.

That’s pretty great, if you ask me.

Have I convinced you yet? If not, I have one more ace up my sleeve. Why vote in local elections? Because you can — because it’s your right as an American citizen. Help decide the future of your city by exercising your right to vote.

ESSAY New direction

LETTER HPV vaccine dangerous

Commentary by Terry Anker Photographs from the turn of the 19th century record central Indiana’s vibrant interurban railway and trolley system. We were then the eighth-largest state in the U.S. Folks needed to move around. A century later, folks still need to move around. The state has grown by nearly three times (California and Florida have done well, too). But the tracks are mostly gone, buried under greasy layers of asphalt.

In their place rise dedicated bus, bicycle and automobile lanes. Some call for the ease, safety and environmental benefits of public transportation by train. Others doubt the claims preferring the relative freedom of cars.

Is it human nature to seek the new and improved and then, with the passage of time, come to romanticize the halcyon days gone by? Our collective public and private space has been filled with rightful voices holding up the good work of the late Sen. Richard Lugar. Add this one to the chorus. Still, there was a time, not that long ago, when Lugar was defeated in a primary of his own political brethren. Alas, some of those who urged his defeat now post photos proclaiming their undying admiration.

What is it that brings us to tire of, or even revile, the things that we love? We destroy them only to one day long for them being returned to us. We build up. We extinguish. We build up, again. Countless institutions, individuals, ideas, politicians and marriages suffer the cyclical fate. Have they betrayed us, or have we betrayed them?

Should we have kept the trains running, despite their shortcomings? Or, was it time to pave a new direction?

A vicious cycle Commentary by Danielle Wilson Triathlon season is upon us, and unfortunately, I may have already made a big mistake when it comes to defending my title here at Chez Wilson. In a moHUMOR ment of weakness and perhaps over-confidence, I purchased my husband Doo an honest-to-god tri bike for Christmas from a random Craigslist dude outside of Bloomington (no worries, friends, I had my 6-foot-3 son pick it up. Safety first!).

So, instead of riding an inexpensive, relatively heavy, quite ordinary road bike, he’ll be racing on a carbon fiber, aero-barred Mac Daddy, specifically designed for this event. Realistically, I probably bought him two to three minutes, which is all he needs to catch me. Ugh. I mean, what if I lose? I told Doo several years ago that he will never beat me because, unlike him, I am willing to die to win.

I’m not kidding. I call it “athletic brinkmanship,” and I am deeply committed to its

tactics. Blister? Ignore it. Dehydrated? Keep going. Signs of heat stroke? Suck. It. Up. This strategy has served me well in past races, but will it be enough this time?

A better question is, if Doo and his dumb new bike do win, can I rise above my arrogance and smack talk and truly be happy for him? Can I be a gracious loser and celebrate his success? I like to think I can, but I’m not entirely positive (which is why I am also considering various sabotage options. I’m drawn to the simplicity of an ex-lax dosing – classic but haven’t ruled out a good old-fashioned tire slashing).

I do know that next year I’m buying Doo a chocolate fountain.

Peace out.

Editor, I am writing in response to a recent article by Dr. Harris, “HPV Becoming More Common,” (published April 9).

In this article, he suggests a vaccine with alarming clinical trial data. Reviewing the CDC package insert, you would find that 1 in 40 girls in the trials reported autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease, diabetes, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and many more, within six months of injection.

The control group was equal in adverse reactions, but the control was given a form of aluminum, also found in the vaccine, rather than an inert placebo. Girls already exposed to HPV (which can happen in the birth canal) had a negative 44.6 percent efficacy to cancer (they got cancer, mercola. fileburst.com/PDF/References/HPV-vaccineclinical-trials.pdf).

The chances of getting an autoimmune disease during adolescence from the vaccine is 1,000 times greater than dying of cervical cancer in the United States.

Human papilloma virus (HPV) clears on its own in 90 percent of cases. Why would a doctor suggest a vaccine with such a high rate of harm?

Stamp Out Hunger set for May 11

Nation’s largest single-day food drive returns for 27th year Commentary by Ronnie Roush

On May 11, the National Association of Letter Carriers and the U.S. Postal Service and other partners are asking residents to help Stamp Out GUEST COLUMN Hunger. The annual postal food drive has grown into the nation’s largest single-day food drive, which provides assistance to the millions of Americans struggling to put food on the table including many of your friends and neighbors.

The need for food donations is great. Currently, 42 million Americans, approximately one in six, are unsure where their next meal is coming from. Sixteen million are children who feel hunger’s impact on their overall health and ability to perform in school.

Nearly 5 million seniors over age 60 are food insecure, with many who live on fixed

incomes often too embarrassed to ask for help.

Our food drive’s timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need.

With the help of our communities, letter carriers and USPS have collected over 1.67 billion pounds of food in our first 26 years as a national food drive.

It’s easy to make a donation. Simply leave a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox on May 11 to help your neighbors in need. Letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver your mail and take them to local food pantries. All donations will remain local.

Ronnie Roush is the president of the National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 888 and a letter carrier from Carmel.

Basil, the anti-aging herb — There are more than 40 varieties of basil, but new research is showing Indian basil has anti-aging properties and is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including stress, heart and respiratory problems, diabetes, digestive and skin disorders, inflammation and pain. The traditional method is to boil fresh leaves and water until the water reduces to half. Then you can either drink the resulting tea or eat the crushed herb when it cools. However,

Music and menu choices — It’s no secret that restaurants use colors, lighting and music to influence diner’s food choices.

Now a study suggests that theory may be fact. The study analyzed customers’ food choices during periods of loud, upbeat music and during periods of quiet music.

When the music was quiet, customers made healthier menu choices than when the music was loud. The takeaway is that you should focus on the healthy choices regardless of the noise level.

DISPATCHES New initiative benefits truckers — The Indiana Dept. of Transportation recently announced the launch of the Trucks Park Here system, a multi-state, regional effort to make interstate travel safer by creating a network of safe, convenient parking areas for truckers with the ability to collect and share real-time parking availability with drivers through dynamic message signs, smartphone applications, and traveler information websites. INDOT will feature 19 sites in the Trucks Park Here system along Interstates 65, 69 and 70.

Facility fee is hidden health care charge — Facility fees are one of the biggest ripoffs the hospital industry has ever come up with, according to Charles B. Inlander, a consumer advocate and health-care consultant based in Fogelsville, Pa..

Across the nation, consumers who go to “off-site” urgent-care centers or medical practices (they are not located on a hospital’s campus but are owned by the hospital entity) are being charged facility fees that in some cases are higher than the cost of care that was provided. Sadly, the fees themselves are perfectly legal despite complaints to federal and state

regulators and legislators from consumers and even some doctors. The hospital industry defends these “gotcha” charges by saying the patient is receiving better care because the facility has all the hospital’s resources behind it. But in most cases, nothing from the patient’s perspective changed at the urgent-care center or doctor’s office after being bought by the hospital. Now, with off-campus, hospitalowned urgent-care centers and medical practices growing in huge numbers (nearly 50 percent of all doctors are now hospital employed), these facility fees are becoming much more common.

NHS teacher Cecil performs card tricks at Logan Street Sanctuary

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Josh Cecil has been a magic fan ever since he can remember.

“My parents got me a magic MAGIC kit when I was I was 6,” Cecil said. “I did tricks here and there and read books (on magic).”

Cecil, 40, dabbled in magic on and off but said he stopped when he was 30.

The Noblesville High School teacher’s love for performing magic was then reignited by a student.

“Three years ago, I had a student (Matt Lingren) in one of my classes who was doing some card tricks, and I sort of remembered some of the card tricks I do, and we started going back and forth,” Cecil said.

“That got me hooked again. I went down the proverbial rabbit hole there into the world of magic.”

Cecil has performed professional, closeup card magic at private parties, corporate events, trade shows, restaurants and bars since September 2018.

Cecil will perform in two shows, “Josh Cecil & his 52 Closest Friends,” at 7 and 8:45 p.m. May 17 at Logan Street Sanctuary, 1274 Logan St., Noblesville.

“This is my first full-blown show,” he said.

Cecil has limited the audience to 52 per show, which is of course the number of cards in a deck.

“It’s close-up card magic. That is one of the reasons we are having such a small audience,” Cecil said.

The shows, designed for all ages, will be approximately 75 minutes.

“It’s not David Copperfield and big illusions,” Cecil said. “It’s right in front of your eyes, sometimes even in the spectator’s hand. There is a lot of audience involvement, intimate and, hopefully, amazing.

I’m sort of obsessed with card magic and sleight of hand. I don’t care too much for the big illusions. I like things that are close-up and inexplicable. Card magic fits that.”

Cecil’s magic mentor, Tom Gagnon, lives

in Kokomo.

“He’s one of the best sleight-of-hand artists in the world,” Cecil said. “Then, I met some other local magicians. I’ve been to some magic conventions. I went to MagiFest in Columbus (Ohio) back in January and learned tons of new tricks and moves.

It was really an opportunity to meet other magicians. I actually met David Blaine while I was there.”

In his fifth year at NHS, Cecil teaches English, film literature and mass media.

Cecil sometimes performs tricks for his students. They can let him know what works with their reactions.

“Either with an audible, ‘ahh,’ or silence,” he said.

Cecil, 40, lives with his wife, Jami, and four young children in Noblesville.

“She tolerates my magic habit,” Cecil jokingly said of his wife.

Performing card tricks has become a nice form of additional income, “Teachers don’t make a whole lot of money,” said Cecil, who grew up in Washington, Ind. “So, I’ve always had some kind of side gig. I feel fortunate that I can use it to help (supplement) some of that teacher income.”

Tickets are $10. To purchase, email Cecil@cecilmagic.com.

SEE 28 MUSICALS IN 1 SHOW! Gallery Pastry Shop

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 1101 E. 54th St., Suite G, Indianapolis.

What to get: French Macarons Price: $2.50 each Anna’s take: I had never tried a French macaron before my visit to Gallery Pastry Shop in Broad Ripple for a friend’s birthday, and now they’re my favorite dessert pastry.

For those who don’t know, a French macaron is a delicate circle of deliciousness,

meringue-based on the inside and typically made with flour, egg whites and sugar.

They’re also beautifully and vibrantly colored and make an adorable gift when lined in a box in little colorful rows.

I tried the lavender and salted caramel flavors at the Gallery Pastry Shop, which offers an array of other flavors, typically matched with Easter egg colors. Each little delicacy is worth every penny.

Gallery Pastry Shop is a quaint and artsy little place to visit for birthdays or a lunch date. It opens its garage doors to let the outside air in when the weather is nice.

Suggested pairings: Try the blood orange mimosa. What’s better than mimosas and macarons?

Blueprint for Improvement: Update for Meridian-Kessler kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

Background: This home in the historic Meridian-Kessler neighborhood was built in 1924. In the 1980s, a sunroom was added off the kitchen; the original exterior brick wall remained.

THE CHALLENGE The home features much of its original charm; however, the 30-year-old updates to the kitchen were looking worn and outdated. The owners wanted to preserve the historic roots while transforming the kitchen with 21st-century amenities and materials.

After

THE SOLUTION The removal of the brick wall that separated the kitchen from the sunroom made an immediate impact on the flow of this space.

1. The granite countertop extends behind the new sink to provide more workspace and a generous seating area.

2. The cabinetry was stained a lovely castle gray. The beauty of the wood grain complements the Coretec floors and other wood trim around the home.

3. The white subway tile features a beveled edge which generates depth and interest around the backsplash.

4. The baseboard in the sunroom features a clever hidden “toe kick” feature — pull-out food and water bowls for the two resident dogs.

A reality check on realty TV Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Spring is in full swing. The bugs are back, seasonal allergies have come out of hiding and “for sale” GRAMMAR GUY signs in front yards are as plentiful as dandelions. If this were a cartoon, all my Realtor friends would have cash register “ka-ching” sounds going off while dollar signs appeared in their puffy, pollenplagued eyes.

Yes, ‘tis the season for house-selling, and — as someone who has watched enough “House Hunters” to consider himself a semi-professional Realtor — it’s time to revisit some commonly confused words: realty and reality.

Let’s go ahead and get this out of the way — Realtor does not have an invisible letter “i” hiding in the middle of it. I can’t tell you how many times I hear people say “real-i-tor.” There’s no “i” in Realtor.

Realty is a noun that simply means real estate. Realty deals with the buying and selling of property — buildings and land.

Reality is the opposite of fiction. It is usually a noun that means “something real.” As an adjective, it often modifies the

word television: reality television.

That means shows like “House Hunters” could be considered realty reality TV. When it comes to the word “Realtor,” why is it sometimes capitalized (like in this article, for instance)? A capital “r” Realtor is someone who is officially a member of the National Association of Realtors. Realtor is actually a trademarked term by the NAR, therefore many stylebooks (including the AP) encourage you to capitalize it and use it only if you’re confident the person to whom you’re referring is truly a capital “r” Realtor. If not, they advise, use the term real estate agent or real estate broker.

Even though I’m hopped up on Zyrtec, I love spring. I also love “House Hunters” (especially “House Hunters International”), even though I know it’s heavily staged. An entertaining reality TV show is nothing at which to sneeze.

Covered Street in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Istanbul’s shopping paradise Commentary by Don Knebel The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, is perhaps the world’s most famous shopping area. It also is among the TRAVEL few indoor places where both adults and children can get lost for hours.

In 1453 A.D., the Ottoman Empire, under 21-year-old Mehmed II, captured Constantinople, then with a population of about 500,000, bringing the Byzantine Empire to a close. The Ottomans were experienced traders and the city, soon renamed Istanbul, lay along major trading routes. In 1461, to finance converting the Hagia Sophia into a mosque, Mehmed ordered construction of a bazaar in the center of the city to market goods, such as textiles and gems, from throughout his realm. In 1520, Sultan Suleiman I, known to history as Suleiman the Magnificent, began a major expansion of the Ottoman Empire. With the Empire’s trading reach expanded, Suleiman significantly enlarged the bazaar. By the 17th century, Istanbul was the largest city in the world and its famous bazaar added slaves taken

in the Empire’s conquests to its long list of items being bought and sold.

Today, Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, occupying approximately 1.2 million square feet and featuring approximately 3,600 stores, is a shoppers’ paradise. Six days a week, between 8:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., at least 250,000 people, locals and tourists alike, crowd into its maze of 65 streets, most now covered with vaulted ceilings, seeking everything from life’s essentials to exotic works of art.

The Grand Bazaar is routinely listed among the 10 most visited places in the world.

Istanbul guides have two cautions for Grand Bazaar visitors. First, never pay the asking price, no matter how charming the seller. Second, remember which of the 18 named gates you entered if you hope to find your way back. I can tell you from personal experience that these warnings are disregarded at your peril.

DISPATCH Duct cleaning — Duct-cleaning services often claim that they can improve a home’s air quality and boost the efficiency of its heating and cooling system by sucking or blowing dust and dirt from HVAC system ducts. Some even claim that duct cleaning can improve respiratory health. However, the Environmental Protection Agency reports say duct cleaning has never been shown to prevent air-quality-related health problems, and that the presence of dust and dirt in a home’s ducts has not been shown to increase particulate levels in its air. Studies also have failed to show that duct cleaning improves HVAC system efficiency or reduces home heating or cooling costs, but the service can cost between $300 to $1,000, depending on the size of the system being cleaned.
