Mayfest showcases students’ talents

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Members of the various performing arts departments at Noblesville High School grabbed their guitars, microphones, musical instruments and theater scripts during Mayfest, an annual daylong student talent showcase.

“It’s a neat way to showcase what the performing arts are doing,” said NHS Band Director Stacey White. “I’d love to see more community folks come out. It’s nice not only for the school to be really focused in on spotlighting performing arts, but it’s a nice way to have students see their peers.”

White said the number of students involved has made it “almost to the point where we’ve grown a little too big.”

“There are tons of bands, everything from color guard to percussion, ensemble to concert and jazz bands, orchestra, choirs, guitar, piano programs,” he said. “There’s lots of different ways to showcase individuals or the group.”

Sophomore Nathan Haston performed on the piano and played alto saxophone with the jazz band and wind ensemble.

“It gives us the chance to perform in front of a lot of people,” said Haston. “It keeps us from getting nervous when we play later on.”

During the senior showcase, Amanda Horton sang “Don’t Forget to Remember Me.” Horton, who plans to major in nursing at Anderson University in the fall, said the song has special meaning in her life.

“It’s about a girl leaving her mom,” she explained. “My mom is

not just my mom but my best friend. I wasn’t crying until I looked at her and she was crying.”

Fellow senior Hannah Pimley sang “On the Radio” with Phoebe Davis accompanying on the ukulele.

“It’s a song I’ve been singing since eighth grade and thought now would be the time to perform it,” Pimley said.

Pimley, who will major in chemistry and chemistry education at Indiana University, said she enjoyed the feeling of unity the event created.

“I love it because it allows the performing arts to come together.

We can come together to watch each other,” she said.

Teen Center turns into nail salon

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville Teen Center turned into a nail salon the Saturday before Mother’s Day so members could pamper the special ladies in their lives. Event organizer Stephanie Baker said the day included nail painting, lunch, raffle baskets, crafts and a bake sale.

“We’re doing something before Mother’s Day so mothers can spend the day with their kids,” Baker said.

The temporary nail salon offered six stations for polish and painting.

Baker said the inaugural event had 35 women participate. She added that the Teen Center is planning a barbecue event for Father’s Day. “We think it was pretty successful,” said Baker. “We’re going to try and make it an annual event.”

Amy White attended the event with her daughter, Paige. White, who also has three boys, enjoyed the alone time she was able to have with Paige.

“To do something just with my daughter for a few hours is very nice,” said Amy. “It’s been really nice. The Boys & Girls Club is a godsend to us.”

An 18-year-old man was shot twice by police after an overnight manhunt in a Hamilton County Park northeast of Noblesville on May 15.

According to police reports, at 10:08 p.m. an officer from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office was checking on a suspicious vehicle parked in Lafayette Park, 15796 Strawtown Ave. As the officer initiated his Tucker spotlight and emergency lights, the subject exited the vehicle armed with a handgun.

“The suspect was ordered to stop but ran into the wooded area of the park. Officers soon set up a perimeter and began searching for the suspect,” Deputy Vicky Dunbar said.

The Sheriff’s Office K-9 Tracking and Indiana State Police Emergency Response Teams were called to assist in locating the suspect. At 1:07 a.m., the suspect was spotted and officers attempted to take him into custody.

“The suspect fired one shot from a .44 Magnum and then began waving the gun in an erratic manner toward the officers,” explained Dunbar. “The suspect was shot twice by an officer with the ISP Emergency Response Team.”

The suspect was identified as Corey Michael Tucker, 18, of Lapel. Tucker was airlifted to St. Vincent’s Hospital in critical but stable condition. He is expected to survive.

“Further investigation has revealed that Tucker was possibly despondent over a recent breakup, several posts on Facebook pointed to possible suicidal intentions,” Dunbar said.

A full joint investigation is being conducted at this time by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and the Indiana State Police.

Poll: Community prefers one-high-school option

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com According to a poll of 2,832 people, 57.2 percent of Noblesville residents prefer the one-largerhigh-school option for Noblesville schools to the two-high-school scenario, which was the choice of 31.7 percent of respondents. The poll also showed that 8.8 percent liked neither option and only 3.6 percent would back either option.

Noblesville Schools Supt. Libbie Conner released the results of the online community survey during the May 15 school board meeting.

“I’m thrilled with the results,” she said.

The survey was open April 20 to May 10.

Conner said 98.1 percent of the respondents came from Noblesville Township. She added that the other 1.9 percent of respondents live outside the district, with some indicating they are teachers or district employees.

“It’s enough to show us some trends and thinking from the community in the near future,” Conner said.

The school board will consider the survey results as conversations continue about the future of NHS and Noblesville East Middle School. School board members will process the information and will likely announce their plans in June or July.

Other key results from the survey include: • 63.6 percent would support a $120-million referendum to build a second high school and remodel the freshman campus to become the east middle school.

• 68.6 percent would support a $25-million to $27-million referendum to expand the current high school main campus and remodel the freshman campus to become the

Who responded?

• 20.3 percent have lived in Noblesville one to five years; 27 percent have lived in Noblesville six to 10 years; 20.3 percent have lived in Noblesville 11 to 15 years; 11.4 percent have lived in Noblesville 16 to 20 years; and 21.1 percent have lived in Noblesville more than 20 years.

• 11.1 percent were ages 18 to 30; 65.9 percent were between the ages of 31 and 50; 13.6 percent were ages 51 to 60; and 9.4 percent were above the age of 60.

• 63.3 percent learned about the survey from Noblesville Schools’ Web site or district publications. The most influential nonschool source was Current in Noblesville. east middle school.

• 54.6 percent believe the ideal solution for east middle school is to remodel the freshman campus at a cost of $15 million, move the freshman class back to the main campus and add portable classrooms to increase space at NHS. • 53.1 percent would support a $17-million referendum to repair the existing middle school if no changes were made to the current high school. If no changes were made to the high school, 64.6 percent would support a $15-million referendum to remodel the freshman campus to become east middle school.

• 65 percent would not support a $40-million referendum to support a new middle school.

Next cash mob event Thursday

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

The Noblesville Chamber of Commerce will host another opportunity for residents to join its cash mob trend on Thursday.

For the third event, Program Coordinator Alaina Shonkwiler said the chamber has altered the experience – offering two convenient time slots: 11 a.m. to 1 Shonkwiler p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.

“We’re trying to open it up to people,” Shonkwiler said.

The first cash mob was held March 27 at Linden Tree with the second at Heavenly Sweets on April 25. The upcoming cash mob will be held at Mr. G’s Liquor, 2209 E. Conner St. “The Noblesville Cash Mob needs your support and participation! Mark your calendars and swing by the ‘mob victim’ during your lunch as we will be mobbing during phase one from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,” said Shonkwiler. “If you can’t make the first phase, then join us for the afternoon mob from 4 to 6 p.m. There will be an extra perk for the afternoon crowd!”

Shonkwiler said efforts to encourage more local spending aren’t limited to cash mobs, and there are many initiatives similar to cash mobs that have sprung up. She said the objective is to support the businesses that invest in the Noblesville community.

The Noblesville Chamber plans to host additional cash mob events in the future. For more information, visit www.noblesvillechamber.com or call 773-0086.

Adopt-a-Street program looking for volunteers – The Adopt-a-Street program, which is coordinated by the Noblesville Street Dept., is seeking community businesses and organizations to help keep Noblesville beautiful.

What is a cash mob?

A cash mob is a spin-off of the “flash mob” where a group of people converge on a location and do something in unison. The cash mob is a large crowd of consumers that show up at a local business and spend a little money, usually $10 to $20 each, to help a local business. The Noblesville Cash Mob was organized by the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce as a new avenue for the Chamber and the community to continue supporting local businesses that choose to invest in Noblesville.

Jim Wafford hosts classic movie series for families at Forest Park

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Spending time together as a family is important to Jim Wafford. To ensure that the community has a weekly opportunity to hang out, he is hosting a weekly event every Friday at Forest Park’s Shelter No. 1. The event features board games, Bingo, yard games, activities, music from local bands and a classic movie at dusk.

“I love classic movies. I’m kind of romantic,” Wafford said. “I just like the older dress. I wouldn’t mind living back (then). There’s a lot of class. I enjoy it. If I had a big backyard, I’d do it every time.”

Wafford, owner of Logan Street Signs & Banners, said the classic movie series is a low-stress family event.

“It’s for all ages and that’s why we have the teen bands and games,” he said. “No matter what age bracket or financial bracket you’re in, you can come out and enjoy family time and time with other families.”

Wafford said economically priced concession items like popcorn and sodas will be available, but families are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, picnic baskets and coolers to the outing.

“Most people don’t have time to spend dinner together around the table, so on Friday nights you can come and have dinner with me,” Wafford said.

Knowing that the 9:45 p.m. approximate start time was late for some families, Wafford added the various games and activities this year so families with young children can just come out and enjoy the outdoors. He added the local bands as a way to attract teenagers and provide

Jim Wafford hands out information about the Classic Movies at Forest Park and Noblesville Parks movie series. them with a safe evening activity.

“When I heard a teenager ask who was Bob Hope, I knew I had a mission,” Wafford said.

This is the second summer Wafford will be presenting the classic movie series, which began during a conversation with Noblesville Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Brandon Bennett. During the discussion, Bennett told Wafford that the parks department budget had been cut and it would be showing fewer movies the next year.

“I saw a need for free family entertainment, and no one else is doing it,” said Wafford.

“I’ve seen it a dozen times. I think people will like this one,” said Wafford, who is also interested in seeing the turnout for 1935’s “Naughty Marietta,” “because the title has nothing to do with the movie. It’s a musical.”

Wafford selects his movies based on remakes he’s seen or ones he has watched on Turner Classic Movies.

“If I’m interested, I buy the DVD,” he said.

“If I like it, I hope everyone else will.”

Before screening a film, Wafford must contact its representative to get licensing rights. Movies cost Wafford $200 to $400 each screening. To air “Casablanca” to 113 people last year, it cost Wafford $405.

Opinion Bark out your vote for a city dog park

Show some respect on the Monon It is our position that the Monon Trail is a great component of our community, and we should all get out this summer and use it. We need to be aware, though, that as the weather heats up, we will need to deal with an increase in Monon traffic.

The Monon is open to multiple forms of recreation, which can sometimes lead to everyone moving at a different pace in a limited amount of space. So whether you walk, jog, bike or rollerblade, watch out for others moving at different speeds.

We understand that everyone has their own workout routine and pace to keep. We just ask that you pay attention to where you are going and not mow anyone over.

There are a lot of young kids on the trail who might not be paying attention to their surroundings or be as steady on their bikes.

As the summer heats up, be sure to schedule some time to get out to the Monon. Just be sure, whatever your means of transportation, that you have a good time and allow others to as well.

Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. The easiest is to e-mail it to info@currentinnoblesville.com. The old-fashioned way is to snail mail it to Current in Noblesville, 30 South Range Line Road, Carmel, IN 46032. Keep letters to 200 words max (we may make exceptions), and be sure to include your home ZIP code and a daytime number for verification.

Facebook birthdays

Commentary by Terry Anker

Every conference and planning session at our places of work, worship and otherwise includes some discussion and consideration of how to make use of (and avoid being used by) the various social media mechanisms handily available on our computers and cell phones.

Facebook, Twitter and blogging have all become established in our collective lexicon, even as new concepts like Pinterest are emerging. Yet, in spite of our noted technologic sophistication and emerging bourgeois attachment to the electronic lifestyle, we remain, at our cores, interested in the simple connection with our fellow travelers.

Those of us who have made the commitment to connect check e-mail and text with an almost addictive attention. Some would feel completely isolated without an hourly review of Facebook and Twitter. Recently, with a group of well-read and interesting folks, I took note that we’d all fallen from conversation and were, instead of exchanging with our tablemates, engaged in assessment of our respective hand-held commu-

nication devices. What was it that we needed to know? Had the world changed so much in the moments since we’d last looked that we felt driven to depart from stimulating conversation to instead retreat to our own private communication? In pointing to the absurdity of our situation, one wise compatriot said, “Facebook birthdays are like elementary school Valentine’s parties.” She was both pithy and entirely correct. Even today, we revel in the fact that people think of us, counting the number of messages from online acquaintances and friends taking note of our birthdays and life passages just like, as grade-schoolers, we’d peer hopefully into our earnestly decorated shoebox longing to find it filled with small love notes – perhaps one from the pretty girl with red hair. In the end, isn’t it normal, perhaps even good, to seek connection and to care if others seek it as well?

Current in Noblesville

Noblesville could be going to the dogs. Well, not literally, but a dog park from PetSafe is a very real possibility. The company is offering $100,000 for such a facility, but the community must vote - and bear in mind neighboring Westfield is on the scent, as well. If you would like to see the city in possession of a bark park, you need to: • Visit www.petsafe.net to nominate Noblesville.

• Complete our city’s profile page by finding available land and civic leader support by June 13.

• Start voting each day on both www.petsafe.net and the official contest tab on PetSafe’s Facebook at www.facebook.com/ PetSafeBrand.

We see this as another valuable amenity for our fellow citizens, especially those of the dogloving variety. A pet-friendly space would be just the ticket for many. As soon as Noblesville is nominated, PetSafe will do the heavy lifting in confirming the availability of land and civic leaders’ support. You will also be able to vote every day to help our city move forward in the contest.

For the best chance to become a finalist, make sure Noblesville’s page is complete and be sure you are voting each day on both www.petsafe. net and www.facebook.com/petsafebrand. This gives Noblesville twice as many daily votes! You may encourage friends, family members, civic leaders and community members to vote to bring the dog park to reality. PetSafe says you can even encourage friends and family members who don’t live in Noblesville to participate in voting. Finalists will be announced on June 15, and then voting will continue until 11:59:59 p.m. on July 31.

Winners will be revealed on Aug. 3. The runnerup city and the city with the highest percentage of votes by population each will receive $25,000.

As they say in Chicago, “Vote early and often.”

Mini-Marathon mistakes Commentary By Danielle Wilson

I completed the Mini-Marathon, and surprisingly, my experience did not exactly go as planned.

Here were my pre-race goals: • Carbo load the night before with a big spaghetti and garlic bread dinner, hold the wine.

Hydrate with as much water as I can stomach.

• Go to bed at 9 to ensure eight hours of sleep.

• Eat a bagel, banana and Power Bar for breakfast, with a half glass of water.

• Arrive at the race 30 minutes before the start for a short warm-up and two bathroom breaks.

• Run slower than pace for the first three miles to allow for course and weather acclimation.

• Run at pace for miles four through 10, downing Gatorade at two-mile increments.

• Quickly and efficiently utilize a road-side lavatory should the need to urinate arise.

• Increase speed the last three miles and finish strong with a sprint.

Here’s how the race actually played out: • Ate a box of sodium-laden mac-n-cheese for dinner along with a Coors Light. Forgot the water, but did remember a Twinkie for dessert.

• Went to bed at 9 but did not fall asleep until 11:30 p.m., thanks to loud children, the cat (who has, I kid you not, learned to open doors) and anxiety from not being in dreamland.

ACADEMIC SKILLS DON’T LET YOUR CHILD’S LEARNING STOP JUST BECAUSE SUMMER STARTS

• Opted for coffee and the bagel as we were out of bananas and Power Bars (my teenage son had hoarded them for his soccer game).

• Arrived at the race an hour early with a killer headache, and passed the time jogging back and forth to the port-a-lets, then realized I had to pee again mere seconds before the gun signaled the start.

• Ran way too fast the first three miles thanks to adrenaline and peer pressure.

• Realized I was moving too fast and slowed down, but not soon enough to offset the fatigue that set in around mile eight or the cramping caused from consuming too much Gatorade, which I’d religiously slugged back at every mile marker since the second.

• Decided “wetting myself ” wasn’t necessarily a bad idea around mile 11.

• Did not finish strong as I struggled to suppress the urge to vomit down the last stretch. And I may have been hallucinating from exhaustion, but I believe a pregnant woman and her grandmother sauntered passed me in the last 50 meters.

Ah, well. I survived. Peace out.

Humor Speed ‘limits’ really just suggestions VIEWS

Laughs by Mike Redmond I recently drove about five hours on an interstate highway in a truck with no radio. This gave me a lot of time to think, and the subject of most of this thinking was speed limits.

And what did I think when I thought about speed limits?

Mostly I thought, “What’s the use?” with occasional detours into, “Who do they think they’re fooling?” and one or two side trips toward, “This is just ridiculous.”

Let’s face it – speed “limits” are a joke. If we were being honest about it, the best we could call them would be “suggestions,” or perhaps “requests,” although then we’d have to order bigger signs: “If it’s not too much trouble, could you keep your speed at about 70 mph?”

Of course, we all know that 70 mph translates, in real terms, into something much faster.

When the speed limit is 70, you can usually count on the traffic moving a good 10 mph faster, which means that if you do drive the speed limit, someone is (a.) going to run you over from behind, (b.) honk and give you a dirty hand signal as they whip around or (c.) report you to the cops as a traffic obstruction.

12 | May 22, 2012

Oh, yes, the cops. Yes, I know they have the legal authority to enforce the speed limit, but I’m not so sure about the moral authority, since they’re usually zipping along well over the limit themselves. Or maybe it just seems that way because the only time anyone slows down is when they see Officer Friendly in the rear-view.

Speed limits are in place, of course, to provide us some measure of safety. I’m all for that. And frankly, I think the people – and they are out there – who see limits as an infringement on their personal freedoms are just idiots. I am, however, willing to offer them a compromise: I think they should be allowed to exercise their freedom to drive as fast as they want, provided they do it on their own private highways, and not the ones that all of us are paying for.

So there you have it. My thoughts, formed during a long drive, on interstate travel and speed limits. And I think the message is clear: I HAVE to get a new radio.

Mangia! serves up authentic northern Italian fare from Carmel City Center Review by Rachel Ferry My recent visit to Mangia! An Italian Restaurant was filled with authentic northern Italian fare and atmosphere. It was a Monday evening, and there was no need for a reservation. We were seated immediately and greeted by our very friendly server, Michelle.

My husband and I started off splitting an Insalata Mista of crisp lettuce, olives, tomatoes, gorgonzola and delicious emulsified balsamic vinaigrette. The salad was served in a chilled bowl and was perfectly portioned. Some of their other antipasti selections include calamari, mussels and bruschetta.

I ordered chicken Marsala. It was not on the menu, but Michelle said everything was made to order, and I could “pretty much order what I was hungry for.” I love a kitchen that is able to properly accommodate their diners.

It passed with flying colors! The subtle taste of Marsala wine in the deliciously balanced sauce covered the thinly breaded chicken breasts and Portobello mushrooms. It was served with a medley of green beans, squash and tomatoes, perfectly tender and seasoned. I chose a side of penne pasta with vodka sauce as my starch. The al dente noodles were topped with a rather mild vodka sauce.

Check out NickelPlateArts.org for details on dates, locations, and times!

◆ WHAT: Mangia! An Italian Restaurant ◆ WHERE: 751 Hanover Place, Carmel City Center, Carmel ◆ PRICE: Antipasta/Salads - $6 to $12, Pasta/Secondi - $15 to $21 ◆ INFO: Visit mangiaitalian.com My husband ordered the Filetto Mangia, a signature dish of beef tenderloin that was prepared medium rare. It was topped with Portobello mushrooms and a red wine tomato sauce.

The deep flavors reminded me of a slow-cooked sauce. I imagine it could be described as an Italian stew. The dish was also served with the vegetable medley and garlic mashed potatoes on the side. The mashed potatoes complemented the beef dish very nicely, and not a bite of food was left on his plate.

Mangia translates to “enjoy” in English, as in a salute to tell someone to “enjoy their meal.”

On our next visit to Mangia, I am sure we will do just that.

HEALTH

Beauty

Use heat to tighten skin without surgery Commentary By Brooke Tetrault Tight, firm skin depends on healthy collagen and elastin fibers. These fibers lie deep within the dermis and act like small rubber bands holding the skin tight against our body providing the “snap-back” when loose tissue is stretched or pulled. Sun damage, smoking, weight loss and genetics all play a role in the breakdown of this collagen and elastin that results in drooping skin.

For decades, surgery was the only option for patients looking for a lift. While surgery often provides immediate, long-lasting results, it can be expensive and risky, and the lengthy recovery can be difficult for those with busy schedules.

Also, surgery does not address the quality of skin – it only pulls it taut.

Today, often using a combination of different noninvasive methods, substantial skin tightening can be achieved without surgery.

Non-invasive, no-downtime procedures are becoming more effective and affordable, making them a popular choice for patients looking to improve their appearance. The most effective no-downtime procedures use radio frequency or infrared heat energy, or a combination of the two, to target loose and sagging tissue on the face, jowls, neck, arms and abdomen. Sublime and Titan are two examples of popular treatments utilizing infrared and radio frequency for

skin tightening.

These treatments work by heating the tissue under the skin's surface to induce an inflammatory response, stimulating the existing collagen and elastin fibers as well as producing new fibers. Skin looks and feels immediately firmer than before the procedure. The surface of the skin is protected from burns with a cooling device, making the treatment very comfortable.

The heated collagen contracts, tightens and continues to remodel over the following three to six months. More than one treatment, spaced about one month apart, is usually needed for best results. Call your licensed, trained medical aesthetics professional to find out which procedure is appropriate for your skin type.

Speaking your truth

Commentary by Kristen Boice Do you feel afraid to say how you feel for fear of being rejected, abandoned, sounding stupid, not feeling good enough or experiencing too much pain? Did you learn how to communicate your feelings? Many people never learned how to share how they feel in a healthy and productive way, so they stuff or numb their emotions in order to try and avoid them. Yet, we stay stuck because we never dealt with them. It could be that it wasn’t OK to feel because you had to be strong, brave or shake off the feelings.

Speaking your truth is about communicating your feelings and thoughts. We learn to let go of others’ expectations and say how we feel in order to experience freedom and joy in our lives.

If we don’t speak our truth, it can lead to health issues and keep us stuck.

Do you tend to hold it in and then explode when you can’t take it anymore? Maybe you are ready for a change and to stop old patterns and negative beliefs about yourself. Below are key steps to take to begin experiencing the freedom of speaking your truth.

1. Identify your feelings and fears. Explore how you feel by digging deep. Do you feel scared, happy, sad, mad, etc.? Write out what you are feeling, why you are feeling it and your fears. Connect to where these started and let your pen take over.

Introducing The All-New 2013

2. Notice how you deal with your feelings.

It’s important to explore what you do with your feelings if you don’t share them in a healthy way.

Do you eat, drink, shop, use the Internet, shut down, watch TV, smoke, keep busy, hide behind anger or control or intellectualize everything?

These are all ways we avoid, stuff or numb our feelings. Know how you deal with your feelings and decide how committed you are to changing it.

3. Communicate how you feel. It’s not only important to say how you feel, it’s important how you say it. Start by sharing your thoughts in a helpful way. For example, you might say, “I feel ______ (insert feeling word like mad, scared, sad) because ______. I need/want ______.” It might look like this when you are communicating to your spouse about a trust issue: “I feel afraid you are going to leave me because that is what happened to my mom. I need to know you are committed to this relationship whatever it takes.” Avoid saying, “You always or never ______.” This will cause disconnection and a possible argument.

Make a change and see where it takes you.

Pear street trees

Commentary By Holly Lindzy

Last week, a mighty gust blew apart a Bradford pear street tree near my house. A nasty clump lay on the ground for a day or so after that. This, of course, led to obsessive fretting on my behalf, wondering about the fate of this tree.

It’s sad, but some trees just can’t be trusted as a street tree, and the Bradford pear is one such tree, according to city ordinance, even. It’s notorious for falling to pieces with any wind or snow load just as it seems to have matured into a fine tree.

The Bradford pear is a fine tree, indeed. With its striking (albeit smelly) spring bloom and glossy green foliage, the tree bears amazing fall foliage that lingers well into the winter. With all these great attributes, there has to be at least one trait that squashes it all, right?

It’s their tendency to snap, of course.

So after the chunk lay longer than I cared to witness, the city did come and pick it up. Looking on from my front porch, I was barking internally that the whole tree needed to be taken out!, because the limb that snapped from the tree left a gaping wound that would be the source of more trouble! But of course they could not hear my desperate thoughts, and I resolved to drop a call to the city Forester.

Then later, jubilation, as I saw the cones set

up to block the area for tree removal the next day! I have to say, the Urban Forester in this town seems to be working and doing what’s right for the city.

Well done, Noblesville.

So while it seems that a tree hugger such as myself would go into fits over a tree that could seemingly stay coming down, there are just some times when an injured tree left standing is far worse than no tree at all. Now, if they could just read my mind about what I’d like for them to plant in its place.

Indoors Green kitchens: A stroke of genius INSIDE & OUT

“Indy’s Oldest Heating & Cooling Co.”

Commentary By David Decker

They say that to lower your golf score, start on the green and improve your putting, because that’s where most wasted strokes happen.

And I say, to improve your home’s overall green profile, start in the kitchen, because that’s where most wasted energy happens.

The U.S. Department of Energy says that 41.5 percent of a home’s energy is consumed by lighting, refrigeration and cooking. Add in other kitchen energy needs – such as water heating, space heating and cooling, special ventilation, dishwashers, small appliances, ice makers, garbage disposals – and it’s easy to see how savvy energy and environmental impact management creates not just a healthy, efficient and sustainable “green” kitchen, but more folding “green” – i.e., cash – too.

Home improvement professionals provide front-to-back advice on the possibilities and equations for “greening up” an existing kitchen.

Certainly, appliances with the “Energy Star” seal are a great place to start, but a truly green kitchen improvement project has countless subtle components built in.

For example, natural light is good, but if the windows leak air or the skylights leak water, that’s not energy or functionally efficient. Low-flow faucets are good, but how far is the plumbing run from the water heater to the faucet? Closer is better. Low energy lights are good, but if you cannot see, say, to dice an onion with a sharp knife, then the result could leave you in stitches … literally.

Bamboo and cork are waterproof, comfortable and enviro-friendly flooring materials, but they have a premium initial cost. Natural stone countertops are beautiful, but depending on type and source, some are “greener” than others.

Induction cooking ranges, exterior wall insulation, timers on electrical switches, green food waste disposal, built-in recycle systems and many more thoughtful strategies not only make
