Down in the sewers, the lives of the mice proceed much the same. The two groups fear and despise each other. But a chance encounter throws Ernest and Celestine into a pot of trouble, and they find themselves becoming fast friends while hiding out. Read more at www.currentnightandday.com.

“The park is for the community and for them to feel a part of it the first step is inviting participation to name the park.”

Culp said any member of the public age 18 or older is invited to submit an entry for this contest. People may enter more than one suggestion for the name of the park. Courtesy of Klipsch Music Center, Culp said the winner will receive two tickets to any concert in the 2014 season lineup after July 31.

• Submit a paper ballot at one of the parks department’s free Thursday night concerts on July 10, 17 and 24.

When I knew I was going to have knee replacement surgery, I wanted to have all my plans finalized in advance. That’s why I checked in to Westminster Village North for post-surgery rehabilitation. My brand new private rehab suite was like I was staying in a nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff.

And the physical therapists are amazing.

Edward Everett, the “Peyton Manning of public speakers” of his day, gave a 90-minute speech before President Abraham Leadership Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on Nov. 19, 1863. As Everett spoke, Lincoln made one lastminute change to his famous speech. He added “under God” to the phrase “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.”

Dr. Dan Miller of Historical Solutions, LLC, provided some new details of the Gettysburg Address to members of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce at their June 25 breakfast meeting.

From these details, Miller gave several insights to communication and public speaking.

Among them: always be open to last-minute changes.

“Don’t think you’ve got to have it all finished right up till the last second,” Miller said. “There might be something that comes to you as you’re walking up … It’s up to you in that moment whether you choose to listen to it or not.”

Miller chose to discuss the Gettysburg Address at the chamber meeting because the back story is not well known. During the presentation, he made two other key points. One was to interact with people after giving a speech, just as Lincoln did when he shook hands and thanked his audience.

Miller’s other point was that people don’t specifically have strengths and weaknesses. People

have traits, he said, and sometimes these traits can be strengths or weaknesses. He said this in reference to Lincoln who, naturally a funny man, accidently made a joke about the battle to a crowd on his way to Gettysburg.

Chamber President Bob DuBois said the Chamber is making some “enhancements” during the next several months. One focus is on leadership development. Miller’s presentation, he said, was a good lead-in to the bigger discussion.

“I honestly wasn’t sure what the goal was going to be until I got a chance to see his presentation (via email). He gave some good life lessons.

Simple things, and he made it exciting,” said DuBois. “Leadership is not all about communication, but it doesn’t succeed without communication.”

Miller is working on his latest book, Lincoln’s Lost Days, which he hopes to finish it this summer.

County marries same-sex couples

By Navar Watson • news@currentinwestfield.com When the news broke June 25, Renee Mueller and Teresa Tibbs’ phones rang off the hook with friends and family wishing government congratulations. A federal judge had overturned Indiana’s ban on same-sex marriage.

“I didn’t think this day would ever come,” Tibbs said.

Mueller and Tibbs, who live in Carmel, comprise one of several couples rushing in to the Hamilton County Government and Judicial Center to receive a same-sex marriage license. For many, the overturn came as a shock.

Fishers residents Angela Schaub and Dakota Baisa came with their son, Durden, shortly after finding out. After applying for a license, they waited about an hour for a judge to marry them.

Schaub and Baisa already celebrated their wedding with friends and family on June 23, 2012 – two years and two days before receiving their marriage license.

“We’ve already been referring to each other as wife and wife, but now we’ll have a piece of paper to solidify it,” Schaub said. “We have the rights that everybody else has that we should have had two years ago.”

Eleven same-sex marriage licenses were issued in Hamilton County after the ban was lifted on June 25. Mueller and Tibbs were the sixth or seventh couple to apply, Mueller said.

Genevieve Keegan-Bedano

“We’re part of history,” she said.

Hours after the overturn, Hamilton County Clerk Peggy Beaver joined Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller in filing an emergency motion for a stay that would halt same-sex marriages.

Mueller asked several people in the licensing process if the marriage would stay legitimate, even if the state successfully appealed the overturn. Nobody knew the answer, she said.

“It’s shocking. The last thing we ever expected in the state of Indiana was to have them say, ‘You can get married,’” Mueller said. “I don’t think anyone was expecting this at all.”

Let me tell you some great, true stories about Noblesville and its people. These are people who love their city and go Our neighbors the extra mile to keep it special. Some of them volunteer hundreds of hours, others professionally provide services, but all of them care in extraordinary ways. That’s the premise of this column – to inform, inspire and engage all of us with the people and programs that are keeping Noblesville a vibrant, caring community, even as we grow.

Such inspiration comes in all ages, by the way.

Meet Draven and Dresdan Hendricks (ages 4 and 2). They stopped by the office with a “surprise” for the July 4th Fireworks Festival Committee Chairperson Cara Culp. Now the fireworks show, entertainment and activities at the festival are fully funded by the community – there are no tax dollars paying for these things. This year the Festival Committee partnered with Citizinvestor to provide a way for residents to donate for the festival directly. Marcy Simon, their mom, was reading the article in The Current in Noblesville at the breakfast table and mentioned to her kids that “the city needs help and helping out is a good thing.” Draven jumped up and went to their “Disney Bucket.” It is an empty water cooler bottle where they throw in all loose change to pay for a future trip to Disney World. He cheerfully began to shake out some coins.

Draven and Dresdan’s “surprise” was a $10 donation to the Fireworks Festival – $5 each.

The kids were so excited to help and be a part

Draven, 4, and Dresdan Hendricks, 2, offered money from their Disney World savings to help fund the city’s July 4th Fireworks Festival. (Submitted photo)

of this grand community tradition – especially as they enjoy the festival every year as a great way to celebrate the fourth as a family. Draven is a big fan of the bounce house! Their mom wisely brought them to the Mayor’s office so they could experience the joy of giving first-hand. It was a real honor and treat to shake Draven’s hand and thank him for caring. If you happen to meet the Hendricks family – Patrick, Marcy or the kids – be sure you shake their hands and thank them for being great Noblesville neighbors (and pretty impressive parents).

Council contemplates apartment housing plans

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com How much is too much? The Noblesville Common Council will tackle that issue at its July 15 meeting after three multifamily projects were introduced on June 24. Combined, the developments comprise 844 apartDEVELOPMENT ment units.

Planning Director Christy Langley said all three developments have agreed to covenants to

The Crossing Size: 352 units on 25 acres Location: East of 146th Street between Ind. 37 and North Pointe Boulevard Project: The project is a total of 80 acres with 25 being a 13 building apartment complex and the other land designated for commercial use.

Developers said they are in talks with county officials about the potential teardrop intersection improvement to 146th Street and Ind. 37. The development plans do not state any details for the commercial property, except for an “automobile repair/body shop.”

Under the signs exhibit, it can be determined that a Volkswagen dealership will be the main business on the lot. The city and developer declined to share more details at this time.

Langley

not appeal assessed value and subsidized revenues. Each also will have market rate housing, which means that rental costs are based on current market prices. There are no income limits or special requirements, however residents do have to prove they have the income to pay rent and meet our general guidelines.

The three proposed developments include:

Flats at 146th of Meredith Meadows Size: 368 units on 24.5 acres Location: 15000 block of Union Chapel Road Project: “Chapel Pointe Flats” was previously approved for 491 apartment units in 15 buildings. The updated plans reduce the number of units to 368 in 23 courtyard-style buildings.

“It’s a much better project than what was originally approved,” Langley said. “Overall it’s a better product. We feel more confident about the layout and split pond.”

The complex will consists of 138 one-room units, 194 tworoom apartments and 36 three-bedroom units

Templeton ridge Size: 124 units on 25 acres Location: 14700 block of Gray Road Project: Plans are for one-story buildings with two-bedroom floor plans and one or two car attached garages.

The secluded complex is designed for ages 55 and older. “Much of the wooded area will be kept on the south side,” Langley said. Redwood Acquisitions is in the process of building The Hamptons apartments on Town and Country Boulevard in Noblesville and has two projects in Westfield.

While the project would not be in Noblesville Township, Redwood will annex once the opportunity is available. Langley said the complex would be appropriate because of Westfield’s intensity of residential and commercial development on Gray Road.

red, white & plenty to do Organizers plan for annual Noblesville Fourth of July Parade and Fireworks Festival

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com The Fourth of July festivities have three goals – have the community come together, celebrate our cover story freedoms and founding of the nation, and have it free to residents.

“It’s old-fashioned fun that’s actually fun and not just old fashioned,” Cindy Benedict, manager of Vision Noblesville and its volunteer network, said. “I love seeing all the families. It just feels like all of the Noblesville community comes – people of all ages,” Benedict said.

The parade and fireworks festival is free for everybody to attend – the main goal of organizers.

“No taxpayer dollars go into this. It all comes from fundraising efforts,” she said.

City spokeswoman Cara Culp said planning for the festivities begins July 5 and lasts all year.

“Snow’s on the ground and we’re making plans for the fourth,” she said.

Culp Culp said residents can bring picnics to the festival, but food vendors will be available. However, since there is no ATM on site, residents are encouraged to bring cash. “(My favorite part) is watching people have fun and when the fireworks are done, hearing all the people clap at the end. I think, ‘This was a struggle but people enjoyed it. We did our jobs.’”

Construction at Noblesville High School has caused a small change in the festival layout. Culp said the annual car show will not be held this year.

“We’re not losing any parking. The area offset by construction is made up by not doing the car show,” she said. “It will return in 2015.”

Organizers said the timeframe provides families a chance be together earlier in the day before attending the parade and festival. Culp said the intention has never been to be the biggest in the area.

“A four-hour period for the festival seems to be the magic touch,” she said.

“It’s never been a goal more than to be a great place to celebrate the founding of our country.”

“It’s also not designed to sell you stuff,” Benedict said.”It’s fun and free and family oriented. The goal is to make it free for families.”

Ripple Effect of Indianapolis performs dance and party music from the best of the classics to today’s hottest hits. The band, which formed in October 2012, is comprised of lead singer Kelly Farrell, keyboardist Jeff “Bones” Morris, guitarist David Hetrick, bassist Scott Carroll and drummer Tony Seiler. For more information, visit www. rippleeffectparty.com.

The parade will begin at the corner of 16th Street and Harrison Street and will travel south on 16th to Logan Street; west on Logan to Ninth Street; north on Ninth to Monument Street; and east on Monument to 16th Street where it will end.

“It’s a community parade – nonprofit organizations, chamber of commerce, Boys & Girls Club, churches, sports clubs at the school level and businesses use it as a way to get the word out in the community,” Culp said. “The Noblesville (high school) band always performs and the Sheridan High School marching band started in mid-2000s.”

For those unable to attend, Jim Wafford will be live streaming the parade on www. hamiltoncountytv.com.

Grand Marshal

Korean War veteran and POW Chuck Layton will serve as this year’s grand marshal for the parade.

Layton and 36 other captured American soldiers lived a small mud hut from November 1951 to February 1952, one of the coldest winters ever recorded in Korea. Led by Layton Layton, the POW’s escaped one night and were reunited with American troops the next morning. For his role in orchestrating and leading the escape, Layton was awarded the Purple Heart, the Combat Infantry Badge and the Korean Presidential Citation.

In addition to his military service, Layton has served the community through Disabled American Veterans, Central Indiana Korean Veterans Association, Purple Heart Society and Kiwanis. For the past five years, he has served as an active board member and volunteer for Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County.

“Chuck is a perfect choice to lead the July 4th parade,” said Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear. “By choosing him as this year’s grand marshal, we are so pleased to recognize everything he endured during the Korean War as well as the commitment he has shown to his community and other people since then.”

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

App–lying genius to life Commentary by Terry Anker For those of us among the uninitiated, software for the increasingly ubiquitous so-called smartphone is referred to as Apps rather than the standard desk or laptop parlance where such things are identified as “programs.” The expression is the diminutive of the software “application” that is how one might hope to use the program to accomplish an objective.

With the game-changing introduction of the iPhone some years ago, Steve Jobs and his crew opened Apple’s smart phone’s interface to the world. Anyone that might have an interest in developing an application for use by the device was invited to do so. Rather than create barriers to folks imagining how we could live differently in a mobile and connected world – and perhaps even more importantly, rather than try to keep every potential dollar of software earnings from themselves – Apple lit a bonfire of creativity that is still burning bright. On my own phone, I can exchange a unit of measure or currency into any

other instantly. I can not only check the status of my flight but can actually see the incoming plane’s location on a map. I can watch a movie.

I can post to social media. I can buy a book then read it on my screen. There are many thousands of applications eager to be downloaded and hopeful to become indispensable. Without doubt, some are not so requisite. A quick perusal of any teenager’s phone will show a sophomoric retinue of silly games and amusing contrivances designed to pass the time.

But isn’t the lesson that sometimes an open architecture, like and open mind, can invite genius along with the distracting? My favorite is a flashlight app that uses the flash from the camera phone to light the way. I’d be app-lying if I didn’t admit I love it!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

- Marcel Proust

Let me start by saying how very sorry I am for your present “situation.” Though I have been through this phase with humor my own children, I had forgotten just how stressful keeping a newly-minted toddler alive is.

I’ve spent the better part of a week with three of my nieces – twins who just turned 2 and a 20-month old – and I am downright exhausted.

My house is a disaster, my new mini-van has been dutifully christened with spilled Goldfish and half a box of Kleenex, and my thankful prayers to Mother Mary for having children old enough to fend for themselves have increased tenfold. I thought I’d successfully block this own period of my life, but with this full immersion into parenting precocious rug rats, traumatic memories are returning at an astonishing rate.

My mantra for the past few days has been, “Find a happy place, find a happy place.”

But you don’t need to hear about my experiences; you’re actually living them right now.

Every nap waylaid by five minutes of shuteye on the way home from Kroger; every cell phone snagged and thrown to the tile floor; every near-drowning and third-degree sunburn at the water park; I could go on and on. Your entire life is being dictated by a funny-looking short person who can barely speak, and who doesn’t give a full diaper about you getting a good night’s sleep or a peaceful dinner out.

They really are the most selfish creatures on the planet, these tiny 2-year-olds. Your entire day must revolve around their feeding times and nap times and bath times. In between all the “times,” you must stand constant vigilance lest they decide to explore the toilet or scale a bookcase. And if you parent like my sisters, you bear the added burden of feeding your kids healthy food and entertaining them sans television. (As you know, this isn’t really my style!)

I’d also like to apologize for excluding you from most of my columns. As related above, I do not recall most of 2003 when my twins were 2. It’s the brain’s way of healing, I think.

Additionally, teenagers provide ample fodder so there’s little need to revert back to earlier parenting days.

Finally, I’d like to commend you on surviving each day with a 2-year-old, and to let you know that it will get better. Not soon, of course – I personally think the fours are the absolute worst – but eventually your child will be relatively self-sufficient and some semblance of a life will return.

So until then, peace out, Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@currentincarmel.com.

Church Basement Ladies return

By Patricia Rettig • editorial@youarecurrent.com The hilarious Church Basement Ladies have cooked up an all-new show and it’s debuting this summer at Beef & Boards Dinner theatre Theatre.

“A Mighty Fortress is Our Basement” will be the fourth and funniest installment yet of this popular series, and it opens July 5.

No one can dish out love, life and a casserole like the Church Basement Ladies.

Set in 1960, in “A Mighty Fortress is Our Basement” the gals are once again required to face the challenges of change head-on. Beverly is turning 15 and gets her first pair of high heels for confirmation; Karin is finally learning how to drive; Mrs. Snustad and Mrs. Gilmerson plan a food booth at the county fair to raise money, and the pastor announces his impending nuptials.

Against the shifting tide, these pillars of the church stand strong in their faith and in their friendships with more crazy antics, more great new songs and more lessons reluctantly learned.

Returning to reprise their roles are Licia Watson as Vivian Snustad, Karen Pappas as the always entertaining Mavis Gilmerson, Hillary Smith

The Church Basement Ladies offer wholesome entertainment with a sense of humor. (Submitted photo)

Simple facts about dehydration Commentary by Lisa Youngblood, MD

With more opportunities to be outside during the summer, dehydration is a concern for some people – especially older wellness adults, young children and those who exercise or work outdoors. Dehydration means the body doesn’t have the fluids necessary to keep its systems working properly. Fluids are important to nearly every bodily function, including maintaining the right body temperature and flushing waste.

It’s easy to tell if you are getting enough fluids by looking at the color of your urine. Clear or light yellow urine indicates ample hydration.

Dark yellow urine means you are not taking in adequate water and fluids.

Preventing dehydration All liquids keep the body hydrated. The majority of your total water intake (approximately 80 percent) comes from water and other beverages you drink. The remaining 20 percent comes from food. To prevent dehydration, you should drink six to eight eight-ounce glasses of water or other fluids every day. You may need to drink more water when exercising, especially in hot weather, or if you have the flu or another health problem, such as a urinary tract infection. To help keep children hydrated, low-sugar popsicles are a good option. Be sure kids have plenty of water and sports drinks when play-

ing sports in warm weather. Pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding also should increase their water intake.

Helpful ways to drink more water each day include: • Drinking a glass of water as soon as you wake up each morning.

• Keeping a glass of water or a water bottle with you at work, in the car or when running errands. This encourages frequent sipping throughout the day.

• Adding packets of sugarless flavoring to water for variety. You can also flavor water with lemon or lime wedges or cucumber slices.

Drinking water is not the only way to stay hydrated. Many foods contain water. Some good alternate sources are low-sodium soup and broth, grapes, grapefruit, watermelon, and fruit juice. Surprisingly, meats, including hamburger and chicken breast, contain high concentrations of water.

If dehydration is an ongoing issue for you, be sure to consult your primary care doctor.

Lisa Youngblood, MD, specializes in family medicine. She is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians Northside Adult & Pediatric Care, 11725 Illinois St., Ste. 250, in Carmel. She can be reached by calling the office at 317.688.5300.

No less than 30 SPF for kids

Q: What SPF do you recommend for children? And, what should parents watch for to ensure their children are not becoming dehydrated, or overheating?

A: The minimum SPF recommended is 30. The two most important things are application before play, and then reapplication during outdoor play activities. I encourage parents to stay in front of dehydration. Offer water several times during the day. Fill up fun water bottles and place them in the freezer until they are very cold, but not

Q: What are your most common concerns with grilling, food prep and cooking during the summer months? And, are there signs of food-borne illnesses or potential food poisoning that are obvious to the human eye?

A. The biggest concern is always safety. Grilling can be an uncontrolled environment. You can’t change the wind. You have to always be alert and can never leave an open flame unattended. Just as important is the food safety side of it. Getting your food to appropriate temperatures and then maintaining that temperature is

Celebrate this week at Carmel Civic Square! www.CarmelFest.net SPONSORED IN PART BY:

In 1744, King Louis XV promised Madame de Pompadour, his official mistress, a new church honoring St. Genevieve, the patron travel saint of Paris, if he survived his mysterious illness. He recovered and the resulting Pantheon, named for a pagan temple and honoring the best minds in France, reflects the vagaries of French religious politics.

Louis put his mistress’s brother in charge of making good on his promised church. He laid the cornerstone for the building in 1764, the year Madame de Pompadour, famous for her hair style, died. The neoclassical design, in the shape of the Greek cross, drew inspiration from London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral. Because of a depleted treasury, the church remained unfinished when Louis XV died in 1774. His successor, grandson Louis XVI, loaned his bankrupt government 4 million francs to finish it.

When the church was finally completed in 1790, it featured a massive triple dome, supported on 258 columns, extending 268 feet above the street. By that time, the French Revolution was in full swing, railing against the power of royalty and the Catholic Church. In 1791, the newly constituted National Constituent Assembly ordered

that the church be transformed into a mausoleum honoring French heroes. The building took its new name, meaning “all the gods,” from the domed Pantheon in Rome. In 1792, Louis XVI was beheaded for the claimed excesses of his reign.

Twice since 1791, the Pantheon was converted to a church, each time reverting to a mausoleum as sentiments changed. Remains from 50 distinguished French intellectuals, including Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo and Madame Curie, are now enshrined in the Pantheon’s crypt. For six, only their hearts made it, manifesting the practice of removing organs before embalming.

The remains of Descartes, whose transfer was authorized in 1792, have yet to arrive.

The United States Capitol architect visited the Pantheon in 1838 and made liberal use of its design concepts in the rebuilt Capitol dome. In 1851, French physicist Leon Foucault demonstrated the earth’s rotation by suspending his famous pendulum from the center of the Pantheon’s dome.

Preparing for a home remodel

SWEEPER

Commentary by David Decker

COMPANY

Many homeowners are as nervous as they are excited about beginning a new remodeling project. Inconvenience, messiness indoors and disruptions can sometimes be a very real part of a remodel.

While you can try to make the experience as stress-free as possible, some difficulties are unavoidable simply due to the nature of construction. However, there are a few preparations you can implement to make the remodeling process go a little more smoothly for your family.

Organization is key to living in the midst of a home remodeling project. First of all, you must clear everything from the countertops, cabinets, walls and other places where personal items may get in the way of construction. It’s a good idea to pack these items in clearly labeled boxes and store them in an easy to access place.

In the kitchen, food preparation is likely going to be the most difficult part of your kitchen remodel. First, choose a new area to house your refrigerator. You may not have access to your oven or stovetop. To compensate, you might have to rely on microwaved, grilled or slowcooked meals for a while. Consider preparing and freezing dishes that you can eat later. Make small shopping trips so that you don’t have to worry about spoiled food. You may also want to stock up on plastic silverware, plates and cups.

When it comes to the bathroom, you may

want to negotiate a temporary utility sink or shower, if your primary bathroom is being renovated. Typically bathrooms become unusable after demo the very first day. If you have a closet off your master you will want to plan the access during construction or move your most used items to another area of the home. Oftentimes, homeowners will move into another bedroom and bathroom during construction. You will want to talk to your contractor to find out the details behind construction plans so that you can make adjustments to your daily living schedule.
