Suspect shoots neighbor, self

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Noblesville Police are investigating the cause of what lead a resident to shot his neighbor crime and then standoff with officers for four hours before his death on July 21.

Lt. Bruce Barnes said a report of a person being shot came in at 2:30 p.m. in the 10300 block of Cerulean Drive in the Meadow Glen subdivision. Barnes said when officers arrived they found a female victim, Tricia Wagner, 53, who was treated by medics for a non-life threatening gunshot wound. As medics rushed Wagner to the Riverview Health Hospital in Noblesville and later to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, Barnes said police officers began looking for a suspect.

The suspect, Nicholas J. Proctor, 53, lived next door and returned home after shooting his neighbor.

“He was held up in house. Officers on the scene made contact with him by using a loud speaker and telephone. In the initial communication they tried to encourage him to come out,” he said.

After 30 to 45 minutes of talking, Barnes said communication was broken off. When it could not be reestablished, a SWAT team was deployed with Noblesville and Westfield police officers along with a negotiator.

“They tried to make an attempt to get the person to surrender. They reached out a couple of other times

and it still didn’t happen,” Barnes said.

Negotiators continued communication with Proctor until approximately 3:20 p.m. at which time Proctor refused to return any dialogue with negotiators.

Barnes said negotiators continued their efforts for the next several hours but had no response from Proctor.

Around 6:30 p.m. the SWAT team fired a second round of non-lethal explosive devices into the home and made entry. Barnes said at that point they discovered the man was deceased.

Barnes said the Hamilton County coroner had to announce the official cause of death but it appeared Proctor died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

No other neighbors were in danger during the standoff.

Evan Elliott, whose parents live close to the crime scene, was at their home as the standoff unfolded.

“Nick ran from the Wagners’ house to his house and held himself up in there,” he said. “SWAT was running back and forth. There was a fury of activity for about an hour. After the second smoke bombs went into the home things settled down,” he said.

Elliott said Proctor recently had been divorced and had two children, which neighbors were worried had witnessed the actions of the day. Elliott said Proctor “slowly stopped talking with neighbors.”

“He seemed like a pretty friendly neighbor and then one day snapped,” he said.

From Bow to Stern, Make Sure You’re Covered for Summer Fun By: Jeff Whitman Allstate Insurance Agent When something unexpected happens on the water, people want to be sure they’re covered. Homeowners insurance typically only goes so far. That's why boat insurance is so important. Since summer is in full swing, it’s a good time to make sure everyone has the proper coverage to protect loved ones, boats and personal belongings.

Here are few optional coverage choices to discuss with your insurance agent before spending time on the water: • If anyone on the boat is injured, medical payments coverage helps pay the medical costs.

• If someone is injured in an accident caused by the boat operator, watercraft liability coverage can help protect a person from losing his or her savings or home to pay for those damages. It also helps avoid paying for repair or replacement of another operator’s boat or property. It’s recommended to have liability limits to protect all assets.

• If an uninsured boater happens to damage a watercraft, uninsured watercraft coverage can help by paying for injuries the customer, his or her family or anyone on the boat sustains.

• Additional boat equipment coverage provides coverage for boat accessories such as anchors, life jackets and navigation gear.

• Property coverage helps pay for damage to a boat if it’s involved in an accident with

another boat or dock, or if someone hits a docked boat. It also typically pays for damage or loss to a boat caused by something other than a collision, such as theft, fire, vandalism or windstorm.

• Personal effects coverage helps cover personal belongings, for items such as sunglasses and fishing equipment. Personal items on the boat are typically covered under a homeowners policy, but sometimes the value of the belongings is less than the deductible, so it’s a good idea to look into this type of coverage.

It’s also helpful to know who is covered under a boat policy. Typically, it’s the policy owner, any residents in the same home as the policy owner and anyone given permission to use the watercraft.

If planning to trailer a boat on vacation, there are a few things to consider: • People should look into trailer coverage to ensure their existing boat policy limits take the combined value of the boat and trailer into consideration.

• Boat insurance extends to anywhere in the United States; but not outside of and not in international waters.

• If a boat is primarily used and stored in another state, people should obtain a boat policy in that state.

It’s always a good idea to talk to an insurance agent before planning a boat trip to ensure you have everything needed for peace of mind on the water. There's no substitute for an agent's in-depth knowledge of how policies can work together.

Russell Eastman turned his senior-year internship into a full-time job at Gaylor Electric. (Photo by Cindy Benedict)

From tough times to hard worker Commentary by Cindy Benedict

I’m proud to introduce you to Russell Eastman, a 2014 graduate from Noblesville High School.

Eastman is a great kid our neighbors with a good heart and quiet spirit who has endured some hard circumstances beyond his control. Under normal circumstances, his career choices would be limited to the fast food job he already had. But NHS isn’t normal – they work hard to provide pathways for every student to become a responsible adult. For an increasing number of students, that pathway is through craft training.

Eastman is training to be an electrician.

Eastman also is a graduate of the NHS Internships program and was just recently hired fulltime by Gaylor Electric.

“This program helped me tremendously. It gave me the chance to earn more than I ever could in fast food, and I learned about a trade that I was not familiar with,” he said.

Eastman learned about the internship through Deanna Cummins, the NHS at-risk coordinator.

Cummins had noticed Eastman’s school attendance was slipping, which is often the first sign of trouble. A family dissolving due to divorce had left Eastman to fend for himself before finishing his senior year. He needed to be more worried about groceries and housing than exams.

Cummins had new tools to help Eastman do both. He began working at Gaylor through a

half-day intern program as he finished his senior year. He was chosen to be one of 15 high school students to work at Gaylor during the summer.

Six of those interns were just hired full-time and will begin a four-year apprenticeship program through the Associated Builders and Contractors Academy, subsidized by Gaylor. Eastman will work full-time, study part-time and in four years he’ll have experience, his Journeyman card, and an associate degree from Vincennes University.

Eastman is a hard worker, is good with his hands and is clearly liked on the Gaylor floor. He is grateful for this chance to turn things around.

Here was a kid who could have easily slipped through the cracks. Without options and with his circumstances, his future would have been accidental. Now he has a pathway to a good job and can get established in Noblesville.

Kudos to NHS, its counselors and business partners for developing the intern program.

Kudos to Gaylor Electric for caring about our community enough to partner so heavily in the program and provide paying summer jobs to high school students. But the biggest applause goes to Eastman, who saw an amazing opportunity and worked hard to create his own future.

One of those days?

Help is just around the corner.

The final year for any invested 4-H’er is bittersweet but for Hannah Allaben of Fishers and Victoria Comin of Noblesville the Royal 4-H Showmanship competition was the perfect ending of their final fair.

“It was a big surprise because everyone else was such a great showman. I thought it could go to anybody,” she said. “I’m so thankful to end my 4-H career with way. It’s something I never would have expected to happen my first time (in Royal).”

Comin said she was also surprised when her name was called for reserve champion.

“It’s a dream come true, especially for anyone that shows animals in Royal,” she said. “It’s a great feeling to have in our last year. It’s bittersweet. I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

The contest combines the senior showmen from cats, dogs, llamas, rabbit, poultry and Pygmy goats. The contestants are judged based off how well they show each animal. Allaben and Comin each show three of the animals.

Rabbits caused Allaben the most trouble during the contest.

“The procedure can be a little different to someone who doesn’t understand the breeds. If you do it incorrectly, the rabbit can get scared,” she said.

Comin said dogs was her hardest species to show.

“He wouldn’t stand still. I had to keep setting him up,” she said.

Allaben has been involved in 4-H for eight years. She recently graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School and will study animal science at Oklahoma State University.

Comin, a 10-year 4-H’er and daughter of Julia and Gilberto Comin, plans to attend Ball State University in the fall. She will major in speech language pathology and minor in special education.

Other competitors in Royal Showmanship included Rachel Bledsoe and Sabine Urbanus of Westfield and Joel Flanders and Stephanie Foerder of Noblesville.

Waitt crowned Supreme Showman

By Navar Watson • news@currentnoblesville.com Sheridan resident Kelsie Waitt had just four and a half hours to prepare for the Supreme Showmanship competition at the Ham4-H ilton County 4-H Fair July 21, making for a bit of a shock when she won Grand Champion that night.

“I would have never imagined that I would have won it,” the 10-year 4-H member said through teary eyes. “I am just so blessed for this opportunity.”

Waitt said winning grand champion was her greatest 4-H achievement.

“This is just a great way for me to finish off my 4-H career,” she said. “I’m just on Cloud Nine right now.”

Waitt was one of seven contestants in the competition, which combines the senior showmen from meat goats, dairy goats, beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, sheep and horses. The contestants are judged based on how well they show each animal.

Waitt had won the beef cattle competition around 2:30 p.m. the same day, giving her the shortest amount of time to prepare.

“I really didn’t think I had it because there’s so many other amazing people that I was going up against,” she said. “I was just so honored and humbled to be called the winner.”

Lapel resident Daniel Young, who won reserve grand champion, represented swine at the

competition.

“It’s just unbelievable,” he said. “To be [in the competition] in only my second year of eligibility is incredible … It’s really cool to be able to do this well my first try.”

Young’s older brother, LJ, was one of the three winners in last year’s contest. LJ, who participated in the competition three times, won reserve grand champion before winning grand champion his final year.

“It makes you proud,” Kathy Young said about her sons’ successes. “They’re both very competitive and want to win, so it just makes you feel good when their effort’s rewarded.”

Soldier returns from Afghanistan, surprises family

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Memories are made all the time at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair, but one special moment brought tears to the eyes of public 4-H spectators on July 18.

Shortly before 6 p.m., Noblesville’s Peighton Zebrowski was participating in the 4-H Horse and Pony Western Show when her father, Pete, a chief warrant officer two in the U.S. Army, surprised her with a big hug in the horse arena.

“I thought it wasn’t real and it was a dream,” she said.

Zebrowski said her father was expected to come in August after serving the past year in Afghanistan.

“It was a spur of the moment,” Pete said. “I got home sooner than I anticipated.”

Pete said the moment was “surreal.”

“We’ve Skyped a couple of times but it’s not the same as being here,” he said. “I usually come down and watch her. It’s so good to see her and watch.”

A second surprise occurred a half hour later because Katie, Peighton’s mother, missed the first embrace and hadn’t heard of her husband’s return. After being called to the horse office, a crowd gathered around the Zebrowskis until a roar of applause erupted after Pete tapped Katie’s shoulder.

An emotional Katie described the moment with one word – “blissful.”

“It’s been tough having him gone the past 11

months,” she said. “We’re proud of him for doing his duty but glad he’s home.”

Katie said she knew Pete was stateside in New Jersey but had no idea he had returned to Indiana.

“I was nervous the entire time he was over there (in Afghanistan),” she said.

The fact that Pete was able to see Peighton at fair was important for the family.

“Peighton’s worked so hard with her group in 4-H. She said, ‘my dad not seeing it.’ We sent videotapes but it’s not the same (as being in person),” Katie said.

In Indiana, in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution, or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties, (typically, the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Guidelines are based on the “Income Shares” theory; specifically, that both parents are responsible for the support of a child based upon their respective income shares. The underlying philosophy is that a child should be provided the same lifestyle which would have been afforded to him/her had the family remained intact or had the parties married. The Guidelines are presumed to apply in each case unless a reason can be shown as to why a deviation from the calculated obligation is warranted. In determining the support obligation, child support calculators are used to create a Child Support Worksheet, which must be filed with the Court in each proceeding. In addition to the parties’ gross incomes, other factors included in determining the support obligation are: actual work-related childcare expenses, healthcare insurance premiums for the children, parenting time overnights exercised, support or maintenance received or paid, and subsequent children in either parties’ home. When a Court deems appropriate, numerous benefits received by one party, including parties’ bonus incomes, commissions, or even regular gifts from family or friends, may be included as income for support purposes.

There are a number of reasons to deviate from the presumed obligation by the Guidelines. These include, but are not limited to, voluntary unemployment or under-employment by one of the parties. If a Court finds either of these to be a factor, it may impute potential income to that party for purposes of determining support.

There are cases wherein clients propose to their attorney an agreement with the opposing party to forgo the receipt of support. This is not appropriate in most cases. Such an arrangement may be appropriate if the parties equally share physical custody of the child(ren) and agree to share expenses due to the fact that their incomes are relatively similar, however, parties must understand that it is not their right to waive support for the child(ren), rather it is the child’s right to receive the same.

Issues with respect to child support are very fact sensitive and different issues will arise in each case. A thorough knowledge and understanding of the Guidelines is necessary to determine the appropriate obligation in any given case when issues arise.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

“We know we had good attendance because the weather was great. We had little problems like more trash and food sales were high and booths ran out of food,” Hamilton County Purdue Extension Director Susan Peterson said. “We had a lot of positive feedback. It was a great fair.”

Officials estimate between 15,000 and 20,000 people attend the annual county fair but since the fair is free there is no way to determine an actual count.

“We believe this year is on the high side,” Peterson said. “You saw so many generations.

When the weather’s too hot or rainy families don’t bring the elderly or small children.”

During his 25 years as a volunteer, Phil Moore said he can’t remember a fair with weather as nice as this year.

that I can remember,” he said, adding the cooler temperatures have caused less stress to animals.

“I haven’t had the parents or 4-H’ers come to me and say, ‘My bunny looks sick’ – not once.”

4-H’ers like Sammy Russell had different concerns about their fair animals than they are accustomed to.

“We shaved my dairy goats and they were cold that night. It was a surprise, because usually it’s hot,” she said. “Sixty- to 70- degree weather the first couple of days was a big surprise.”

4-H’er Kyle Schmidt of Noblesville said he had a fun time his 10th and final year.

“It was a really great year. I had several grand champion ribbons,” he said. “Supreme Showmanship was a wonderful opportunity and my third time in there.”

Schmidt said this year will stand out for him because of his dairy goats.

“God’s been really good this year,” he said.

“I won grand champion showman and had the junior and senior doe. It was a very memorable year.”

New superintendent Dr. Beth Niedermeyer explains her plans, background and bucket list

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools’ new Supt. Dr. Beth Niedermeyer said the district interested her because of what was taking place inside the classroom.

“Noblesville is such cover story a leader in innovation.

Schools from all across the state come too look at what they are doing,” she said. “We’re focusing on project based learning, focusing on providing a lot of opportunities for kids to be college and career ready.”

While she is just two weeks into her new role, Niedermeyer said one of the district’s strengths is its people.

“The teachers, principals and staff have established a really strong community feel in our schools. Their focus is working toward common goals. That is hard to replicate,” she said. “Noblesville is a high performing school district that is very competitive in academics, music and arts, and athletics … It’s a very exciting time.”

Originally from Fort Wayne, Niedermeyer has lived in Hamilton County for 20 years but is looking to move to Noblesville with her husband, Bob. “We want to be a part of the community,” she said. “It’s family oriented with a small town feel while it continues to grow. That is very attractive.”

The Niedermeyers enjoy exploring other cultures in their free time.

“I love to travel. One place on my bucket list is Australia. I think the outback sounds really exciting and the Great Barrier Reef sounds beautiful,” she said.

“We like to learn about different places and cultures. It makes us appreciate what we have here.”

Another item on Niedermeyer’s bucket list is to ride in a hot-air balloon.

“I’ve seen them twice this week driving into work,” she said. “The closest I’ve been was parasailing on my honeymoon. It was my idea and I was petrified.”

Educator to administrator

Teaching runs in Niedermeyer’s blood as her father, Tom Huffman, aunt and great aunt were all educators.

“He was very strict with us (kids). All of his students loved him. I thought there was a real lesson to be learned in that,” she said.

Niedermeyer spent the past three years as assistant superintendent of Hamilton Southeastern Schools but has taught kindergarten through

Hometown Fort Wayne Dr. Beth Niedermeyer said one of her favorite education moments was opening a new Fishback Creek Public Academy and handpicking her staff. Prior to being principal she taught kindergarten through fifth grade and English and aerospace in high school. (Submitted photo)

fifth grade and high school classes.

“The most important thing is making a difference in the daily lives of their students,” she said. “That’s the magic that happens every day.

If they leave us loving what they can learn and achieve we’ve done a good job.”

Niedermeyer served the Metropolitan School District of Pike Township for nine years as assistant superintendent, director of elementary education for a year and was principal of Fishback Creek Public Academy and College Park Elementary for a combined nine years. She spent the first 10 years of her education career at Fort Wayne Community Schools, where she taught kindergarten through fifth grade and aerospace and English in high school and later served as principal.

“I see the broad perspective of the differing needs but also the similarities,” she said. “Kids won’t learn until they know you care about them and that transcends all grade levels.”

Niedermeyer said one of her favorite education moments was opening a new school and handpicking her staff.

“I was able to work with them for a year before we opened the building. It taught me the importance of having the right folks on your team,” she said.

‘100-day plan’

Niedermeyer said she is working on her “100day plan” right now which includes getting acquainted with the staff and building relationships with the city and mayor, Ivy Tech and members of the community. Niedermeyer said her vision for Noblesville Schools is to be the “center of

innovation and creativity with high performing schools.” “(The district) has outlined such a strong strategic plan. I’m certainly on the same trajectory,” she said.

Niedermeyer said she intends to sit down in the teachers’ lunch room and speak with staff members.

“We can talk comfortably and openly. It’s an important piece to get to know one another and work collaboratively,” she said. “My goal is to get to the schools every week. In the first 100 days I’ll be there every day.”

Niedermeyer said she is looking to set up open office hours once she gets acquainted with the district. The plan is provide an open dialogue with the community at public places.

“It’s creating a presence so folks get to know me and know I want to listen. I will always be a listener. We may not agree but I will gather information before making decisions,” she said.

Niedermeyer said she is in the process of identifying the areas for growth in the district.

She knows one controversial topic is the school start time changes that are scheduled to take place next school year.

“It’s strongly supported by the research, but it’s a big change for the community,” Niedermeyer said, adding she is interested in speaking to those in the community about their concerns.

By getting to know the community, Niedermeyer wants to explore opportunities with local businesses so students can “see the importance of learning, critical thinking and research.”

“It gives the kids real world problems and helps them be a part of the solution,” she said.

Residence Is looking for a home in Noblesville, has lived in Hamilton County for the past 20 years.

Comfort food: “Anything salty. Popcorn is my alltime favorite. We have it for dinner frequently.”

Hobbies Reading, rollerblading, snow and water skiing, hiking, being outdoors and active.

Favorite books “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls, “The Kitchen House” by Kathleen Grissom, “Little Bee” by Chris Cleave, “Those Who Save Us” by Jenna Blum and “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini.

Personal motto “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has,” by Margaret Mead.

Construction nears completion - on schedule and budget

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

In 10 months, Noblesville School completed $34 million of its $36 million renovations and additions at Noblesville High School and new East Middle School (former freshman campus). Director of Operations Jeff Bragg said the project provides more efficient facilities with less overhead operating costs.

“Construction is on budget and on schedule. The schedBragg ule has had to be adjusted some over the course of the project to accommodate cold and rainy Indiana conditions,” he said.

Bragg said two portions of the high school project will not be completed before school begins Aug. 4.

“The multi-purpose facility on the south end of the NHS building is scheduled to be completed at fall break. The old administrative wing and counselor’s spaces will both be converted into useable classroom spaces and will also be completed at fall break,” he said.

Noblesville High School Principal Jeff Bryant said the main benefit of having freshmen back at the main campus is access to course offerings that were unavailable to freshmen while they were at a separate campus.

“As students work toward their pathway to graduation, electives that were once only available in grades 10-12 are now available in grades 9-12. For example, Project Lead the Way courses, performing arts, wellness, and business.

The school’s renovation also provides a wellmarked main entrance that greets visitors the first time since the high school was opened.

“Having a safe, secure main entrance was a priority during this construction project,” said Bryant. “With most offices now in the front of the building, visitors to NHS will be greeted at a secure entrance and complete their business in the office areas right inside the main entrance.”

During Spring Break, construction workers installed the new walkway frame that will connect the existing building to the new addition at the high school. (File photo)

What does the new construction offer at the schools and how will it be utilized?

NHS: According to principal Jeff Bryant, “The new construction provided us the opportunity to create spaces that emphasized 21st Century learning – flexible, collaborative, technology enhanced spaces. This project also allowed us to take existing spaces and remodel them for more effective use. Overall, we have created spaces that fit current learning and instructional practices while providing room for the future class size growth that is expected in coming years.”

NEMS: “The new NEMS layout and design is much more supportive of our middle school schedule, program, and curriculum. Larger general classrooms and specialized instructional spaces will better allow the type of student-centered, collaborative learning experiences our teachers need. Business, technology, art, and science labs are also updated and better designed to accommodate the current program and curriculum we offer our students. Overall, the facility provides a greater sense of openness and safety, with taller, wider staircases and hallways, significant increases in access to natural light, and other features that make for a positive and productive learning environment. In addition to these physical improvements, the newly renovated facility will include wireless technology to support our 1:1 learning environment, where every student will have access to an iPad to enhance their learning,” said NEMS Principal Ryan Rich.

NMSI courses help increase classroom rigor

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com For four days, Westfield High School hosted teachers from across Central Indiana in day-long courses designed to create lessons to push students harder and better prepare college and career readiness.

Cindy Keever, Westfield Washington Schools’ executive director of student support programs, said the program was sponsored by the National Math and Science Institute. The program is a sequence of three years and more than 220 teachers (35 from Westfield) were instructed in 12 courses in math, science and language arts.

“They receive actual lessons designed to drive rigor in our classrooms,” Keever said.

Westfield teacher Kristin Bergeron was very familiar with several of the first-year sequence of science experiments.

“A lot of the stuff we already do,” she said.

The lessons also provided her with easy changes that can be made to increase the rigor.

“It’s a better way to prepare the kids for (Advanced Placement) courses in the same ways we do things by adding graphing or math to it,” she said.

Cole Hardacre will be a first-year teacher at Westfield this fall. Hardacre said he gained valuable experience from the experiments.

“A lot of the labs we are going to do,” he said.

“I got a good feel for them.”

Texas teacher Dan Patrick led the first year

science sequence. Hardacre said Patrick created an online resource and file sharing for the teachers to submit ideas and lesson plans.

“It was interesting to get his perspective and all-around experience,” Hardacre said.

Matt Kettlebar doesn’t teach AP courses but instructs four different classes that contain high performing students.

“I have AP demographics. This helps me prepare them for AP tests so they are much more productive,” he said. “Everything we’ve done here is completely implementable to the classroom.

It’s not theory; it’s what we are going to do.”

In addition to discussing the various lesson plans each teacher uses, Kettlebar said the group of teachers discussed semester versus trimesters and interschool/district collaboration amongst teachers.

IRS e-mails are gone for good

There is much anti-Internal Revenue Service sentiment lingering multiple months after the infamous missing e-mails become known to the sheep of this nation. We all expect answers as to where the e-mails to and from former IRS “executive” Lois Lerner actually are. Believe this: We’ll never know. It’s that simple - unless, of course, someone comes forward and rats her out. Still, we don’t see that happening. People, there is a reason Lerner invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify about the whole mess. That reason? She doesn’t want us to know. The Grand Old Party wants all of us to believe this is obstruction of justice. It is, in our opinion, but the fact that the Republicans, the party of no backbone, are calling it such seems to lessen the impact or severity. And what of the head honcho at the IRS, John Koskinen?

He’s appearing to be too much of a sideshow to run the agency efficiently, not that anyone really is up to that task. He was supposed to bring back the luster for the embattled office (like it ever existed), and President Barack Obama indicated that would happen. Instead, we hear Koskinen’s lectures and vitriol, and everything seems as dysfunctional as it was before his appointment to the helm. And, as multiple news outlets have reported, it seems the president wanted his “guy” in charge, because the agency (insert massive shudder here) was charged with the monumental task of implementing ObamaCare. Nothing like having one among the home team watching out for the clubhouse’s best interests. Some believe the safer move would have been to have someone from the GOP run the show at the IRS. That wouldn’t have worked, either.

And as for the president, with this, domestic issues, the Middle East and countless other agenda items up in the air, he chose to attend a number of fundraisers on the West Coast last week. Again, wait for the movie, because the e-mails are not coming.

Lap of luxury Commentary by Terry Anker Few would argue that the current system of rapidly increasing costs and compounding debt is a sustainable long-term plan for higher education. Yet there are even fewer among us who might dare to challenge the accepted standard for the paper chase. Certainly, we lucky ones who have managed to matriculate, secure employment, and then make good use of the opportunities presented are standing specimens of the incontrovertible truth that graduates make more money and encounter superior choices over those, on average, without the sheepskin.

But in a time of burgeoning and suffocating obligations levied upon those who can least afford it, is the higher education system doing all that it can to open a path to admit more of us to the supposed nirvana of degreed status? Many universities have fallen into a feedback loop of rising costs (often exceeding the cost of living by a dozen or more times in the years since we made our way out of the hallowed halls) and ever-increasing amenities (always claiming that

luxe is the key to a qualified and diverse student body).

Are granite counter tops and city bus passes required to become educated? Would one’s understanding of the basic principles of accounting be adversely affected if they had to share a bathroom in the dorm? America continues to teeter, even after the explosive financial correction of these past several years, attempting to balance what it can afford with what it wants.

Does indulging our desire to swaddle young people in luxury ensure they will live a life enslaved to debt?

Luxury education is not the same as higher education. And when we confuse the two, perhaps we need to go back to school and figure out the distinction. I will take a private room with a view of the rec sports center.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K When you’re racing, you’re living, everything else is just waiting.

– Steve McQueen

As I sit at my desk preparing to write this final installment of my controversial three-part series “Evolution of a Dance humor Mom: An Exposé,” (Pulitzer, take note!) I can’t help but notice how my journey parallels that of someone travelling through the five stages of grief.

After my daughter’s first-ever dance competition in January, I wrote of nothing but positives … the supportive and professional atmosphere, the fair and clearly-defined judging guidelines, and the beauty and grace of all the young performers. Dance was the perfect creative and empowering outlet for girls everywhere.

Yay dance! Looking back now, I can clearly see I was floating in the shock and denial phase, subconsciously unable and unwilling to look below the glitter lipstick and faux lashes to the crazy that quietly fermented beneath.

By her third competition, however, I had moved on to anger. I couldn’t figure out how awards were bestowed, and for that matter, how age groups and skill levels were defined.

I’d had it up to her tiara with obnoxious mothers screeching during performances, “WORK IT, KAYLA!” and “YEAH, JASMINE! OWN IT!” And I was done with the eight hours of wait time for three minutes of jazz. On a Saturday. And again on Sunday. Dance is outrageously expensive and most moms are all clearly living vicariously through their tiny tappers; why hadn’t anyone warned me? This wasn’t fair! Where’d my life go? Damn it!

But we were committed, and I was forced to stay the course. I failed miserably at the bargaining stage (“If you don’t sign up next year, I’ll buy you a pony!”) and muddled through a few weeks of depression (“I’m sorry my tears ruined your bun, honey . . . I’m just so sad to be missing the family reunion.”). Those were the darkest of days.

As the season finished this past week at Nationals, however, I’m proud to say I finally reached the last phase, that of acceptance.

My daughter has found her passion, and when I see her light up with pure joy as she leaps across those stages, I know that I must suppress my gut instinct to grab her and run as fast as I can to the nearest rec soccer field. I must do whatever is in my power as a parent to put her dreams ahead of my frustrations. I have accepted the cost, the time commitment, even the requisite sequenced booty shorts. I know to bring a good book, a pair of quality ear plugs, and to simply enjoy the endless opportunities to ruthlessly judge other women and their children. I accept my fate.

My name is Danielle. I am a dance mom.

Peace out.

HART finding traction with ‘Shakespeare in the Park’

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com

The Bard himself recognized that an audience’s active imagination is needed to make his plays work. Some of his plays theatre have prologues or epilogues to solicit their help.

The director of “The Tempest” this summer at White River State Park believes the magic that threads its crucial way through the last play William Shakespeare wrote alone doesn’t have to fool audiences in order to enchant them.

For its sixth annual “Shakespeare in the Park” production, Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre has brought in Courtney Sale, associate artistic director at Indiana Repertory Theatre, to direct the show.

“I lean toward visual storytelling,” Sale said.

“And we’ll keep this simple and straightforward.

That’s my contract with the audience – it’s not about smoke and mirrors.”

That means “we will show some of the strings,” director Sale promised in a recent interview, using an analogy from the art of puppetry. With the aid of movement and the highly detailed use of music, “The Tempest” will engage imaginations at the outdoor venue in three free performances, beginning July 31.

It takes place in a more firmly settled atmosphere than the Repertory Theatre has enjoyed in its short history.

“We’re trying to be more solid as a company,” said artistic director Diane Timmerman, and move beyond “not knowing if we have funding from year to year.”

The Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre has major support from the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation, the Lilly Endowment and the Indianapolis Foundation. And Timmerman sees corporate support as the next step.

The actor-founded company, mostly professionals in Actors Equity, has a new partnership with Butler University, where Timmerman chairs the theater department. That gives it the services of student interns and an outdoor rehearsal space, among other benefits.

Sale, a newcomer to Indianapolis who lives in the Chatham-Arch neighborhood with her husband and their 9-year-old son, brings to the assignment a background in new plays and devised work (presentations created collectively without pre-existing scripts).

Shakespeare’s fantasy of a deposed duke named Prospero who rules a remote island and uses magical powers to bring about personal justice may well be the perfect vehicle for the kind of theatre she favors. The Duplicates, the company she worked with during graduate study at the University of Texas, always did outdoor

performances.

“It’s work on a scale I’m comfortable with,” she said, noting that a reverent approach to Shakespeare is not for her. “I told the cast, ‘We can make something new together.’”

The Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre production’s opening scene, for instance, which gives the play its title, will represent the storm without using any of Shakespeare’s words.

That’s among the bolder cuts Sale has made along the way to keeping “The Tempest,” already among Shakespeare’s shortest plays, within Repertory Theatre’s desired two-hour limit.

“The blank canvas” that she needs to fill with Shakespeare’s material has room for lots of funny stuff. That’s concentrated in a couple of the shipwrecked characters who enlist the island’s primitive inhabitant, Caliban, to take over the island.

“I’m shameless with comedy,” Sale said.

She also finds enthralling the intense but innocent young love of Miranda, Prospero’s daughter, and the shipwrecked prince, Ferdinand.

“They are really young, and they are the hope for the future,” Sale said.

Then there’s the problematic character of Prospero.

“I’m fascinated by his difficult nature,” Sale said. “There’s revenge, rage and schemes in Prospero – it’s nice to have that represented. I don’t use a scholarly or cerebral approach to him; I’m making it relational.”

In 2011, Sale first saw the actor she’s selected to play Prospero in a one-man show at IRT about the legendary James Beard. That helped pave the way for her to relocate here. Robert Neal starred

in “I Love to Eat,” by IRT playwright-in-residence James Still, whom Sale had met when he visited Austin to see a Duplicates production.

“I was enchanted by the play and Robert’s performance. And the post-show discussion was great – it just surprised me.”

Sale, who directed “And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank” and “The Mountaintop” for IRT this past season, seems to be a connoisseur of happy surprises. She describes Indianapolis as “my Easter-egg hunt.”

“I am totally in love with Indianapolis; it snuck up on me,” she said.

She’ll reach her one-year anniversary at IRT in August, as she and her husband continue to make a long-distance, two-income marriage work: Sean Manning is director of visitor services at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City – a job whose challenges hardly need description here.

The Indianapolis theatre scene in particular wins Sale’s endorsement.

“We have an incredible pool of artists and work happening here. I keep being enchanted and surprised,” she said. “There’s so much goodwill too. That doesn’t happen in a lot of other cities.”

How to pay for your care Commentary by Wesley A. Young If you are concerned about the high costs associated with long term care now or in the future, nursing home and veterans benefits are available to help cover some or all of the costs of in home care, assisted living or a nursing home.

Benefit programs are not just for the poor any more. All taxpaying citizens who meet the eligibility requirements are entitled to receive benefits. With the cost of a nursing facility regularly reaching $85,000 per year, very few Hoosiers can afford to pay for care out of pocket.

Veterans benefits Myth: Veteran’s benefits can take up to two years to be approved.

Reality: A well-crafted, thoroughly completed and handdelivered application can regularly be approved in three weeks to three months.

Most veterans who served during war time and their current or surviving spouses can become eligible for benefits which can pay for in home care, assisted living or nursing home. The tax free monthly maximum benefits are: $1,130 for surviving spouse of a veteran; $1,759 for veterans; and $2,085 for veteran and spouse.

Medicaid nursing home benefits Myth: Medicaid can take my house, my car, my money and all of my possessions.

Reality: There are several rules that allow for the protection of the majority of a person’s assets. Don’t be misled by misinformation and myths.

Medicaid can pay for the entire monthly cost of a nursing home facility, doctor co-pays, medications, dental, vision and other expenses less a portion of the applicant’s fixed monthly income. There are well over a hundred facilities in central Indiana and most of them accept Medicaid.

Under current federal law, private pay and Medicaid residents must receive the same level of care and services.

Whenever you are working with a government agency, you can count on a maze of forms and procedures to gain eligibility. You should only work with a company that specializes in this area of planning and has relationships with local facilities and their staff.

Amenities key for assisted living Commentary by Ruthann Graham The most recognized trend in assisted living today is “85 is the new 70.” People are waiting longer to move into assisted living. When they decide to make the move, they are looking for a long list of amenities that not only duplicate what they had at home, but additional ones as well.

The assisted living resident is becoming more vocal in what they are looking for in their new home. They want high quality food preparation and presentation so that they feel comfortable inviting their friends and family over to join them for a meal. They are looking for amenities that can provide their grandchildren a place to go and play when visiting their grandparents. They are looking for new and exciting activity programming that includes technology learning, exercise programs, and lectures and cultural events that stimulate their body and brain. The trend of the new resident moving to assisted living is “use it or lose it.” And, the communities are having to ramp up their activity programming to accommodate the new awareness of health that is extremely important to the resident.

And, of course, they want transportation that can take them shopping, to appointments and to do personal errands. However, a very welcomed and convenient trend is the communities are now bringing the medical provider to the resident so that the resident doesn’t have to leave the community for doctor appointments and Physical Therapy appointments.

Perhaps the biggest trend in assisted living is making sure that when existing assisted livings are renovating or new assisted livings are being built that they include a memory care area or wing to accommodate the ever increasing cognitive disabilities such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

The new memory care areas are being built to offer increased sunlight, outdoor spaces, simple and easy to maneuver floor plans that offer ease of mobility for the residents and activities that keep the resident happy and engaged.

Z’Sparkle back for fifth year

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@yoaurecurrent.com

Men in heels prancing down Main Street – that is Z’Sparkle Party Drag Race to End Alzheimer’s.

Deemed a lighthearted and fun event designed to bring people together to raise awareness about a devastating disease while raising money to support the Alzheimer’s Association, this year’s Z’Sparkle in Zionsville is at 7 p.m., Aug. 8, on Main Street.

“I think, obviously [Alzheimer’s] touches me very personally, and I think it does that for a lot of people,” said founder Amy Lacy. “It’s the sixth leading cause of death in America.”

Lacy’s mother died from complications with Alzheimer’s, and thus for five years Lacy has been doing everything in her power to help researchers find the cause and a cure. Since 2010 her group of friends and community sponsors with Z’Sparkle have raised more than $100,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Indiana.

“When we hit that mark we felt like our crazy little event had really made a difference in the fight against this horrible disease, but we want to do more, so we’re back for our fifth anniversary.”

Lacy said that “dragstars,” men dressed as women, and “dudettes,” women dressed as men will parade down Main Street and “work the crowd” to get donations. Community members such as Bob Goodman, Ray Cortopassi, and Zionsville town councilman Tom Schuler are ex-

pected to dress in drag.

Goodman has even grown out his hair for the event, and afterwards will cut it for a donation to Locks of Love.

“It’s pillars of the community that are participating in this,” Lacy said. “It’s not an unwholesome event, because it really is just regular guys getting out of their comfort zone to do something great … Cross-dressing does not have to be associated with any kind of sexuality. It is just for fun.”

Lacy noted that even Doug Gauthier, Zionsville Police Dept. Capt., dressed up as a woman last year, and even made his own dress out of duct tape.

“He let people sign his dress for a donation,” she said.

In addition to the parade down Main, there will be a DJ and a special VIP tent in the town lot on Pine Street. The tent, sponsored by Zionsville Meadows, will provide an opportunity for guests to sample foods and spirits while meeting and mingling with the “dragstars” and “dudettes.”

The cost of food is included in the ticket price.

A microbrewery beer van, wines and the signature drink “Sparkle-tinis” will be provided by Cobblestone Grill at a cash bar.

Tickets are available online at www.zsparkledragrace.com, at Akard’s True Value Hardware or at the door. They cost $12 online or $10 at Akard’s.

Snake Charmer on the Square in Marrakesh, Morocco. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Marrakesh: Cobras on the square Commentary by Don Knebel

When Marrakesh (or Marrakech) was a stop along the international “hippie trail,” Crosby, Stills and Young sang fondly of “blowing travel smoke rings” and “charming cobras on the square.” Today, smoke rings are harder to find in Morocco’s third-largest city, but cobras still entertain visitors on the celebrated square.

The Almoravids founded Marrakesh at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in 1062 as the capital of an Islamic empire comprising southern Spain and northwest Africa. The Almohads, practicing a severe form of Islam, conquered Marrakesh in 1147, killing thousands of its citizens and destroying many of its buildings. The Almohads built the Koutubia mosque over the ruins, its 253-foothigh minaret now a Marrakesh landmark. Marrakesh declined under the Almohads, but entered a period of renewal in the 16th century under the Saadi dynasty, which built the magnificent El Badi Palace to mimic the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. The beautiful Saadian tombs, rediscovered in 1917, contain graves of Jewish members of the palace staff mingled with those of the Muslim royal family. In the late 19th century, Marrakesh’s Grand Vizier built the Bahia Palace for his four

wives and 24 concubines in the mudejar style of Moorish Spain and Morocco.

In the 1960s and ‘70s, Marrakesh’s hashish and hostels attracted members of the counterculture seeking a cheap kasbah high. Its aura of authentic oriental mysticism drew the likes of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Yves St. Laurent, whose ashes were spread around the restored Marjorelle Garden that he purchased in 1980.

Hashish is now illegal in Marrakesh and deluxe hotels and casinos have replaced the flophouses of the hippie era. Visitors come from around the world to see the Koutubia mosque, the Saadian tombs, the Bahia Palace and Jemaa el-Fnaa, the most famous square in Africa. Reportedly once the site of public beheadings, the square is filled with a noisy collection of exotic entertainers and insistent merchants hawking everything from false teeth to fortune telling. For a fee, costumed charmers will make their hooded cobras sway while playing a flute the snakes cannot hear. All aboard the Marrakesh Express!

Homes selling faster than in ‘13 Commentary by Jim Litten With average home prices reaching $173,393 in June 2014, home sales prices are up 7.4 percent compared to June 2013.

real estate

Seven of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year. Hamilton County was among the areas reporting gains – up 8.3 percent to $265,311 from $244,960.

• The average sale price in Noblesville experienced a modest increase. For the first six months of this year, the average price rose 0.9 percent to $203,024 from $201,201.

• In Noblesville, pended home sales experienced a small uptick. Last month, 126 homes pended, an increase of four homes compared to June 2013.

• Homes in Noblesville are selling faster. Last month, homes spent an average of 72 days on the market – eight fewer days compared to June 2013.

• In Noblesville, inventory has increased. In June 2014, 440 homes were available for sale, while 362 homes were available in June 2013.

When comparing this year’s sales numbers to last year’s, it’s important to consider that 2013 was the fourth best year in Indianapolis real estate history. In 2013, we were still recovering from the previous cycle of the housing downturn, so last year’s spike in sales was tremendous. I believe we’re likely approaching a ‘new normal’ where sales growth will be less dramatic moving forward.

First Merchants, Community Bank to merge news@currentnoblesville.com Muncie-based First Merchants Corporation has agreed to acquire Noblesville-based Community Bancshares, Inc. and Community Bank will merge into First Merchants Bank. Officials said the agreement is worth approximately $46.3 million.

The merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015 after shareholder and regulatory approvals.

“Like First Merchants, Community Bank has a deep-rooted commitment to community banking and we are excited for it to become the newest member of the First Merchants family. The addition of Community Bank supports our goal of becoming a more efficient, higher performing company,” First Merchants CEO Michael C. Rechin stated.

“From Community Bank’s beginning in 1991, Chuck Crow and his management team have played a pivotal role serving Hamilton and Madison County commercial and consumer clients.”

First Merchants has nearly 100 banking offices around the state, primarily in central Indiana. The Community Bank franchise will add seven locations including six banking centers in Hamilton County.

Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, I would like to take this ‘chance’ to ask you about the use of ‘chance & opportunity’.

I see this as a real ‘opportunity’ humor to clear up the proper time to use each word.

Thank you for the ‘chance’ to write you. I can’t wait for the ‘opportunity’ to read your reply.” – (David Stratton) Answer: This is a tricky one, David. We’ll see why in a moment.

Consider this example: Every child born in the United States has a chance of becoming president.

Few of us, however, will have the opportunity.

In many circumstances, “chance” and “opportunity” are interchangeable. Merriam-Webster lists a primary definition for both of them as “an amount of time or a situation in which something can be done.”

Fortunately, our friends at the dictionary also offer a few more elucidative definitions for each.

“Chance,” they say, is “the way that events happen when they are not planned or controlled by people” – or, more simply put, “the possibility

that something will happen.” An “opportunity” according to Merriam-Webster, is “a favorable juncture of circumstances” or “a good chance for advancement or progress.” That last definition – “a good chance” – is the key here.

A “chance” is broad and undirected, like, for example, a job listing in a newspaper. Anyone can see the listing. Anyone can apply. An “opportunity” is specific and, importantly, positive.

Continuing with our job listing, the “opportunity” is when they call you to offer you a trial run at the position.

“Opportunity” comes from “opportune,” meaning “suitable or convenient for a particular occurrence.” The “particular occurrence” part of that is your takeaway this week. A “chance” is a nebulous possibility that something might or might not happen. An “opportunity” is a good possibility of some particular, positive thing happening or being made to happen.

Watch your waist – In the heightened competition for your breakfast buck, fast-food restaurants are engaging in a fierce battle for your stomach – though your waistline could be the biggest casualty of all.

That’s because adding protein to your breakfast could mean more calories, especially when your meal consists of a fast-food sandwich. The extra calories don’t necessarily come from the egg or meat but from cheese, butter and fat used in preparation. Source: finance.yahoo.com © 2014 All Rights Reserved Certa ProPainters, Ltd.

Luxury vinyl can mimic realistic textures Commentary by David Decker While most people wouldn’t think vinyl to be a very contemporary flooring choice, there have been many innovations in vinyl indoors over the last few years. Today’s luxury vinyl tile (or LVT) products have been specially developed to mimic the look of natural materials and textures, which can bring a new degree of beauty into your home. While LVT has been gaining popularity among builders, the majority of homeowners remain unaware of the innovations and benefits of LVT flooring. Let’s quickly take a crash course in LVT 101.

Aesthetics Luxury vinyl can mimic realistic textures such as distressed wood finishes, stone, slate and even woven textiles into virtually any space. The wide array of designs comes from the way it’s manufactured. LVT is created when layers of different synthetic materials are bonded together and overlaid with an image. The appearance of the design is actually printing using a giant press, and then protected with a clear coating that’s applied on top. LVT prints are pretty amazing because they can perfectly render various natural materials such as stone or hardwood almost identically. It’s no secret that natural materials can often be very expensive to install and maintain. (Hardwood especially comes with limitations due to wood’s susceptibility to moisture and harsh temperatures.) But luxury vinyl

offers you an alternative way to capture the look of natural materials and bring them into spaces that may not have accommodated the real-life versions. The only consideration to take into account is that LVT must be used on flat, level surfaces. This means it cannot be used on stairways or other inclines.

Maintenance LVT has gained a reputation for being durable and easy to maintain. The protective top layer makes its surface scratch, stain, dent and scuff resistant: ideal for high traffic areas. Addition-

ally, LVT floors are inherently water resistant. All that’s required to clean LVT is simple, damp mopping. And because it’s made from sustainable materials that can be recycled, vinyl is a green building material.

Safety Manufacturers of LVT have paid careful attention to creating a product that’s safe to use in commercial and residential spaces. Vinyl meets flammability codes and is slip resistant in case of spillage. And because it’s made of multiple, resilient layers, LVT planks are generally more comfortable to stand on for long periods of time.

As an added benefit, they tend to be warmer underfoot than ceramic tile or stone.

Cost Luxury Vinyl tiles are quite cost efficient, when compared to their natural counterpart. And given their durability properties, LVT flooring can last for years to come if properly cleaned and maintained.

“You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public.”

“Posting our job opening in Current was a tremendous success. Within hours of the issue being distributed, we had numerous inquiries from very qualified individuals. We signed up to have our ad run for two weeks, but was able to settle for one since we found the perfect person to fill our position so quickly.

You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public, and we will definitely use its services again."
