Stem Cell Therapy isn’t the future, IT’S TODAY: As you may know, the latest buzzword in medicine seems to be stem cells.

Google it. Are you confused yet? I would guess that it may be a bit confusing.

There are stem cells from aborted fetuses. They are used in countries outside of the US. Many people have an ethical issue with their use…I am one of them.

If you would like to know more about how stem cells are used ethically - and learn from the first doctor to bring Stem Cell Therapy to Noblesville: Dr. Aaron Oxenrider.

I’d like to invite you to a special evening that we’ve put together for you.

The biodegradable bags must only contain leaves and not twigs or grass clippings. Bagged leaves may be placed next to brush piles and follow the same rules and pickup schedule. Free, green biodegradable bags are available to Noblesville residents at all fire stations.

Rust twin sisters headed to prestigious ballet school in D.C.

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Morgan Rust kept pestering her mother to take her to the Russian Ballet Academy of Indiana in cover story Indianapolis.

“When she was 6, I told her if she was still this obsessed with ballet when she was 8, I would take her,” Missy Rust said.

At first, Morgan’s twin sister, Julia, pursued gymnastics and a more recreational ballet program at another school but soon decided to join Morgan.

Missy could never have envisioned what would transpire over the past eight years.

The Russian Ballet Academy of Indiana closed in 2010. However, many of the instructors, led by Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, formed the Indiana Ballet Conservatory in Carmel. The 16-year-old Rust sisters, from Noblesville, have become two of YakovlevaRandall’s top pupils.

The twins, who have been homeschooled for the past few years, will attend The Washington School of Ballet in Washington, D.C., in the fall.

“This wasn’t my vision for their future, but sometimes as parents we realize they have their own dreams, and we need to let them pursue them and be happy,” Missy said.

Missy and her husband, Rich, will move with their daughters to Washington so they can finish their schooling at the prestigious school.

Julia, left, and Morgan pause outside The Washington Ballet.

The sisters credit their training from IBC. “We were grateful to each receive eight full-tuition scholarships for year-round programs, some including room and board as well,” Morgan said. “We know we wouldn’t have any of these opportunities if it weren’t for the training and love we’ve received at IBC. After spending time with (Washington School head) Xiomara Reyes, we feel confident we have found a home similar to IBC where the teachers and directors of the school and the company hold everyone to a high standard as they challenge, encourage and support the dancers.

There is a lot of excitement surrounding The Washington Ballet and the school right now, and we are really looking forward to making a positive impact there and representing Alyona, Tatiana (Pali) and Sergey (Sergiev) the best way we can. As much as we’d like to stay here forever, they are all encouraging us to take the next step, and

we are really grateful they want the best for us.”

Yakovleva-Randall, IBC artistic director, calls the Rust sisters her “babies” because she has been instructing them since they were 8.

“Morgan and Julia’s success is not due solely to their talent, but to their work ethic, discipline and who they are as people,” she said. “In addition, the girls are fortunate to have great support from their parents as well, as success on this level takes great effort and sacrifice from the entire family, too. Because of their tremendous dedication as individuals and as a family, their love of ballet, and their willingness to completely trust 100 percent in their teachers and training, they are now receiving these opportunities to further their training. I couldn’t be more proud of them as their teacher and the work we have accomplished together after training

them for eight years. I have full confidence that they will carry this work ethic far into their careers.”

The sisters each received several scholarship offers this summer, settling on four they could do together.

They attended Ballet West in Utah from June 12 to June 24, then went to Orlando Ballet from June 26 to July 29 on full scholarships. They began attending Irina & Maxim International Summer Intensive in New York City July 31.

The twins have trained with Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Beloserkovsky, former principal dancers at American Ballet Theatre.

“Irina and Max always push you to all your goals and above and beyond, push you past that breaking point, especially in the summer,” Morgan said.

When the program concludes Aug. 5, the sisters head to the Boys Ballet Summer Intensive for Partnering in North Carolina Aug. 7 to 12.

The sisters began learning all kinds of dance, but Morgan took to ballet first.

“I like ballet with the structure and how it keeps pushing you to do your best,” Morgan said. “You are never perfect at it.”

Julia said she was a little apprehensive at first when the Russian Academy instructors pushed harder than other programs she had been in.

“I kept adding on more classes and more classes because I loved it so much,” Julia said

meet the rust sisters

Julia Rust Favorite ballet: “The Nutcracker” or “The Sleeping Beauty” Favorite class: English Biggest thrill in ballet: “Everyday things, like taking class and pushing to be my best self. A more specific moment would probably be when I danced on the Lincoln Center stage in New York City at the YAGP (Youth American Grand Prix) finals (finishing in the top 12). It was such a thrill, and I still feel so blessed.”

The fraternal twins turned 16 April 28.

Like many twins, they have several things in common. They both love to read and their favorite TV show is “Friends.”

Morgan Rust Favorite ballet: “Don Quixote” Favorite class: History What is your biggest thrill in ballet: “Probably the biggest thrill I get in ballet is when I perform onstage. It is so exciting with all my nerves and the unknown of what will happen on stage. In those moments, I just have to trust in myself and in God for everything that I have practiced.”

Bring on retirement!

o b s e r v a tion Limiting the defensive line

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Some days are perfect. The sun is shining. We awake refreshed before our alarm clocks roust us from our sublime slumber.

The day ahead is filled with anticipation and high expectations. And then, there are other days. The ones in which the rain falling is expected to change to ice – likely during our commute. The alarm failed to sound (or, more likely, we shut it off accidentally because of a restless night) and we are now already late for work.

We take them all, these contradictory days, in stride. What choice do we have?

Like a football team we gauge the nature of our opposition to plot our strategy. In some instances, we take an offensive stance. Running up the score, we expect to defeat weak resistance. But just as often, we must rely upon our defensive line. We dig in and cling to the earth, fighting for each inch as if they were yards. Do it we must; the game depends on our ability to stop the onslaught.

Yet, do we take the deportment too often? Would we be better if we ran the ball instead of burying it? Sure, it is OK to be defensive – sometimes it is the savviest move. But, it is not OK to feel perennially defensive. Human interaction requires that all parties engage and participate, each time, every time. When people imagine themselves under attack, they claim pardon from engagement. And, in the most severe and deplorable cases, they bully those around them into equal withdrawal.

Civil societies advance while dictatorships do not. Isn’t a constantly defensive posture a failed strategy?

36% approval…For what?

Editor, In response to Mari Briggs’ July 18 letter: I don’t recall those men (of the 1950s) groping women’s crotches, cheating on business dealings, telling constant lies, worrying daily if everyone approves of him, having nothing to do with his children until one of his several wives raises them to adulthood.

I continue to be amazed how he can have a 36 percent approval rating. For what?

He told everyone he knew more than the generals, then he gave the green light to the disastrous raid in Yemen, even though all his generals (and he has appointed several) said it would be a terrible idea. The raid resulted in the death of a U.S. Navy SEAL, an 8-year-old American girl and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained. He didn’t even bother overseeing that raid in Yemen.

Instead, he spent time hate-tweeting the

New York Times and sleeping.

What has he accomplished in the six months that he has been in office? He has signed 28 laws since taking office and made a “big” show out of each of them. Political scientists say it is better to measure significance than to simply add up the number of bills. Does the law change the status quo or introduce a new policy idea? It’s all a big hoax on the American people that might lose their health insurance, the middle class will pay more taxes, that none of the big promises that were made will ever come to fruition, because it seems it’s more important to this president to play golf every weekend and have a great relationship with (Russian) President Putin.

It appears to me he is the joke of the world, and the only people that are benefiting from his presidency are the latenight comics. They are having a field day.

Susan McNeal, Noblesville *To see the full version of this letter, visit currentnoblesville.com.

While I was watching the Peyton Manning bit he did for the ESPY Awards about his new life in a retirement humor home, all I kept thinking was “Exactly.” Senior living facilities sound like a little slice of heaven. Yes, Medicare is still a couple of decades away for me, but AARP is less than five years out.

Happy Acres could be a reality just as my youngest graduates high school!

I’m serious, folks. Peyton jokes about early dinners, craft time and competitive shuffle board, but ask anyone who knows me well and they’ll tell you those have “Danielle’s Dream Come True” written all over them. And having someone else cook, clean and drive for me? In my book, that’s called “vacation,” people.

It’s my understanding that these places also offer super-fun, organized mall outings and game mornings (bingo!), 24-hour access to soft-serve ice cream (score!) and, the piece de resistance . . . monthly Matlock marathons! And I can basically do whatever my currently pacemaker-free heart desires.

I can stay in my room all day and read nothing but Nora Roberts. I can eat supper at 4 p.m. and then immediately go to bed. I can even swear repeatedly for no reason at all, just like an NFL player (right, Peyton?). And no one, absolutely no one, will judge me for it because I’m in a retirement home . . . that’s just what old fogies do!

I’ve already spoken with my husband Doo, and he fully supports me, especially if he meets an unfortunate early demise. So, Peyton, hang in there. I’ll see you in 2022, and we’ll grow old together!

Peace out.

CEOs for Cities advisor shares vision

Dispatches

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As a senior advisor for CEOs for Cities, Lee Fisher travels around the nation to share advice.

“If you want to make your city or region innovation great, build a place where people want to live, and then you’ll be a place that they want to visit,” Fisher said. “Sometimes I think we focus too much on the destination and not enough on the experience.”

CEOs for Cities is a nonprofit that connects urban leaders across different sectors and generations.

Fisher, a former Ohio Lt. Governor who lives in Cleveland, gave a presentation July 14 at the all-county luncheon at Forum Conference & Events Center in Fishers that featured chamber of commerce groups from Westfield, Noblesville and OneZone (Carmel/Fishers).

“Our view if you are committed to the success of your city and you are doing something about it, you are the CEO, you are changemakers,” Fisher said. “What you did when you merge two chambers (OneZone), it was bold and innovative. It was ahead of your time as I travel this country and traveled to more than 50 cities the past two years. You deserve applause for what you have done. Why? Because collaboration is the new competition.”

Fisher said the four things he emphasizes are to start with a vision, see things with a new pair of eyes, move very fast and measure your progress. Fisher encourages cities to concentrate on their strengths.

“Don’t try to be Silicon Valley, try to be Carmel,” Fisher said. “Try to be Fishers, try to be Westfield, be who you are, but also try to find

what makes you distinctive. What’s your distinctive DNA? It might be the Arts District. It might be Conner Prairie.”

Fisher said feelings are more important than words.

“You want people to feel good about themselves and feel like there is something special going on,” Fisher said. “It all forms an attitude.”

Fisher said Cleveland landed the 2016 Republican National Convention by reinventing itself.

Fisher, the dean of Cleveland State University’s law school, served as attorney general (1991-95) and Lt. governor (2007-11) in Ohio. He was the Democratic candidate for governor in 1998 and U.S. Senate in 2010, losing both races.

In addition, the average number of days a listing took to go under contract fell to 28, down from 34 one year ago. As a result, bidding wars lead to inflated offers and appraisals often don’t match the inflated sales price, causing financed offers to fall through.

Breastfeeding and the new mom Commentary by Diana Garino, RN World Breastfeeding Week is Aug. 1-7. To celebrate mothers, babies and breastfeeding, Diana Garino, women’s health RN, childbirth and inpatient education coordinator at IU Health North Hospital, offers tips for new and expecting moms.

How can women prepare to breastfeed before giving birth?

One of the best things for expectant parents to do is take a breastfeeding class during pregnancy. In class, parents learn how the breast works, how to recognize baby’s hunger cues, how and when to nurse their baby, along with tips for positioning and latching.

Since newborn babies can’t say “Hey, mom, I’m hungry!� it’s important to watch the baby’s body language to know when to feed. Watch for signs like turning head side to side, sucking, hand movements toward face and smacking lips.

What advice would you give to expectant moms who want to breastfeed?

I recommend trying to breastfeed within the first hour of giving birth, and don’t hesitate to ask for help. A nurse or lacta-

editorial@youarecurrent.com Thousands of people have responded to the emergency call for blood and platelet donations issued by the health American Red Cross in early July, but there continues to be a critical summer blood shortage. Eligible donors of all types are urgently needed. As a special thank you, those who come out to give blood or platelets with the Red Cross through Aug. 31 will be emailed a $5 Target eGiftCard After issuing the emergency call, the Red Cross has experienced a 30 percent increase in blood donation appointments through mid-July. About half of the appointments were scheduled by donors using the free Blood Donor App or at redcrossblood. org. Despite this improvement, blood products are still being distributed to hospitals as fast as donations are coming in, so more donations are needed to meet patient needs and replenish the blood supply. “The blood supply is like a cellphone battery, it constantly needs recharging,� stated Rodney Wilson, communications manager of the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services

tion specialist can check the baby’s latch and give guidance as needed. When the baby latches, it may be uncomfortable but it should not be painful.

It’s also helpful to keep baby in the hospital room as much as possible so you can nurse on demand. Remember to allow baby to lead when breastfeeding by watching for those hunger cues! Feeding the baby based on hunger cues helps promote a good milk supply.

Finally, wait to introduce pacifiers and bottles until breastfeeding is a wellestablished routine. The motion required to nurse is different than that required to suck on a pacifier or bottle, and you don’t want to cause any confusion.

What advice would you give to moms who aren’t having success right away?

Use your resources! Above all, be patient. Breastfeeding is a learned activity for both baby and mom.Â

Blood shortage continues Region of the Red Cross. “We sincerely appreciate those who have responded to the call to help save lives and encourage those who haven’t to consider rolling up a sleeve and give the gift of life. It only takes about an hour but can mean a lifetime for patients.�

Nearly 61,000 fewer blood donations than needed were given through the Red Cross in May and June, prompting the emergency call for donations in early July. The shortfall was the equivalent of the Red Cross not receiving any blood donations for more than four days.

Phoenix rising: The art of the Jewish joke Commentary by Dick Wolfsie On Aug. 18, I will be stepping onto the stage at the Phoenix Theatre… and out of my comfort humor zone. The Phoenix is one of several venues for this year’s IndyFringe Festival, part of an Indianapolis tradition that originated in 2005. Entertainers from all parts of the U.S. will offer hour-long acts in venues along the Mass Avenue corridor over an 11-day period, with more than 72 artists, giving in total more than 400 performances. There is something for everyone: cabaret, comedy, dance, drama, magic and music.

My performance is called “The Art of the Jewish Joke.” I have read or heard thousands of them, and while I have no idea where my keys or glasses are, I remember (and can repeat) just about all of them. When I buy books of Jewish humor, I read the first line of an anecdote, then I anticipate the last line, skipping to the end to confirm my prediction. I usually nail it, but I always go back and read the whole thing again, anyway. Why? Because just like “The Star-Spangled Banner,” there are lots of ways to “sing” it, and occasionally the new version is an improvement.

Or, as many of my Jewish friends say when I tell one, “I’ve heard it already, and you’re telling it wrong.”

Humor is one way for Jews to

lIve MUsIC Aug. 8 • Sammy Miller & The Congregation at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis

stay connected to their faith and traditions. Food works, too. Many Jews do not read Hebrew or speak Yiddish, although everyone knows at least some Yiddish words. If you don’t, you’re a meshuggana (look that up. It’s a great one).

In my show, I’ll have the audience spin a wheel that contains categories of popular Jewish topics: food, money, temple politics, kvetching (look that up, too), assimilation and marriage. Here’s a good one about Jewish mothers: A Jewish girl brings three boys home to meet her mother and just for fun asks her mother to pick the one she thinks her daughter has

chosen to marry. The mother questions them all.

“This one,” she says, pointing to the young man in the middle.

“How did you know?” asks the daughter.

“He’s the one I don’t like.”

You can’t stick a hole in a jelly doughnut and make it a bagel. Likewise, a real Jewish joke is about more than inserting a rabbi or a guy named Goldstein into a one-liner. Despite being “the chosen people,” Jews suffered for thousands of years. Maybe they got the worst of the deal—but they got the best of the argument by incorporating their predicaments into their humor. Why should I let you make fun of me, when I can do it better myself?

Many Jewish jokes do not end with a typical punch line, but with an observation or a commentary on life. And some are a little bit naughty: A Jewish widow knocks on the door of an elderly Jewish man next door. “Would you like super sex?” she asks.

“I’ll take the soup” (if you’re not laughing, you should say that one out loud).

Muslim, Christian, Jew and atheist alike can enjoy a good Jewish joke. And I’ve got a million of ’em. OK, maybe 2,000.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m., Aug. 18. For tickets, visit Indyfringe.org.

LSS to host Celtic celebration Aug. 6

By Heather Collins • editorial@youarecurrent.com Logan Street Sanctuary and Sacred Heart of the Rose will celebrate Lughnasadh and Reek/Garland Sunday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Aug. 6 at Logan Street Sanctuary. The Lughevent nasadh Celebration will include performances by Kelly & Emily Ann Thompson, a baked goods contest, craft beer tasting, a wreath-making station and contest and open mic for comics, musicians, poets and writers.

Alys Caviness-Gober, secretary for the Logan Street Sanctuary, Inc., encourages bakers and brewers of all levels to bring their creations to compete in the professional and non-professional categories. Makers and artisans are encouraged to contact the Logan Street Sanctuary to participate in the maker’s faire. The event is free to the public.

There is a small entry fee for competitions.

“In the Celtic and Christian calendars, Lugnasadh is celebrated the first week of August,” Caviness-Gober said. “It’s the time to celebrate the first harvest of the year and recognize that the hot summer days will soon come to an end.”

Lughnasadh, meaning the “funeral games of Lugh,” were Celtic festivals that included feasting, songs and contests.

Garland Sunday is an annual day of pilgrimage in Ireland.

This is the first year for the event at Logan Street Sanctuary, but Caviness-Gober said the goal is to host it every year.

Kelly & Emily Ann Thompson will bring their traditional Irish fiddle tunes to the event. The high-energy duo incorporates traditional Irish, Scottish and Canadian fiddle tunes sang in English and Irish Gaelic. Emily Ann fiddles, clogs and sings while her husband joins her on guitar, vocals and percussion. The duo has performed at a variety of Irish festivals.

Help! I can’t stand my living room Commentary by Krista Bocko It could be any room in your house or multiple rooms. It’s such a common dilemma, so let’s break down your home how you can take steps to start to love it.

Step 1: Let go of the notion that décor is ultimately frivolous. I know it makes me feel better to be in a space that I love and that makes me feel good.

Step 2: Write down what you like about the room, whether it’s furniture, architectural features, paint color or décor, and what it is that is making you hate the room.

Step 3: List what you ideally want to add or change, and even add a budget and timeline. This is important, otherwise it’s too easy to let time go by and not do anything.

Step 4: Decide what to do first. Paint is usually the easiest way to update, so for many people, that’s where they start. Coming up with a to-do list and phases for your room is helpful, especially if you’re doing a more extensive room update, like replacing flooring. Speaking of phases, it’s also fine, and even preferable, to go slow and let the room come together over time, with thoughtfulness and intention.

Here is an example of a living room that has potential but lacks a good aesthetic. (Submitted photo)

Step 5: Try to enjoy the journey your house can lead you on. You know your house, yourself and your family better than anyone, and it is so rewarding to find that alignment of truly enjoying the space you inhabit.

Blueprint for Improvement: Kitchen transformation at Geist Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions: The goal was to design a highly functional, stylish kitchen the family could enjoy for many years to come.

1. The biggest obstacle was the load-bearing column placement. By adding a new beam, the kitchen was able to be reconfigured and the island straightened out to provide efficient space.

2. New semi-custom cabinets were designed and installed, with a light, neutral paint on the perimeter and a contrasting navy paint finish for the island. The glass accent cabinets contained curved mullions to mimic the arched doorways.

3. The quartz countertops provide a durable, low-maintenance material option, and the backsplash tiles complement the warm flooring and navy blue island.

4. New decorative glass pendants, under cabinet lighting, and wood flooring provide refined touches of warmth and detail.

Before Background Info: The layout of this kitchen in the Cambridge neighborhood on Geist Reservoir was limited. Cooking was a challenge for the family. The subdued material palette also needed to be freshened up to bring life into this dated kitchen.

After

Before problems: The kitchen included the original outdated wedge-shaped island, oak cabinets and tile flooring with wide grout lines. The two columns on the island seemed to visually close off this open space to the adjacent dining and hearth rooms.

Good grammar: Life of the party Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

The Wilderness of Zin in Israel’s Negev. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Moses and the Wilderness Rock Commentary by Don Knebel The southern half of modern Israel is an arid area known today as the Negev. The Negev includes the Wilderness travel of Zin, a desolate and rocky region that sheds light on the well-known story of Moses obtaining water from a rock.

According to the Bible, the Wilderness of Zin formed the southern boundary of the land that God had promised to the Israelites as Moses led them out of Egypt.

Before God allowed the Israelites to enter their Promised Land, they spent about 40 years wandering in the wilderness, much of the time near an area called Kadesh or Kadesh Barnea. Although Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, believed Kadesh Barnea was located in Petra, most scholars today believe Kadesh Barnea was on the southern end of the Wilderness of Zin, near the current border between Israel and Egypt.

The Book of Numbers says that while the Israelites were at Kadesh Barnea, God

commanded Moses to speak to a rock to obtain water for his parched followers and their animals. When Moses struck the rock twice with his staff and water poured out, God told Moses that he would never enter the Promised Land, and the Israelites continued their wandering until Moses died. A visit to the Negev provides an explanation for God’s punishment. The Wilderness of Zin includes steep walls comprising porous rock capable of absorbing water, which remains sealed in the rock by a limestone crust that forms over time. Seepage from cracks in the crust allows plants to grow in the rocky area. Bedouins who have lived in the Wilderness of Zin have long known that if they strike the rock and shatter the crust, trapped water will flow. Moses’ sin was apparently using a desert trick when God had asked him to accept a miracle.

Grammar: it’s everywhere. And as soon as someone identifies himself as an expert, you can algrammar guy most always safely assume he’s going to judge you anytime you end a sentence with a preposition.

I’m no grammar czar; I’m only here to help improve your grammar and make your life more awesome.

Good grammar is wonderful because it opens doors—to job interviews, romantic relationships and even elegant parties where people drink wine from bottles (I always thought it only came in boxes). By improving your grammar, your Facebook friends will rightly assume you’ve started wearing a gold-rimmed monocle while playing polo on your yacht. Fancy!

Let’s begin with your family—yeah, we’re going there. Specifically, when you want to sign your family’s collective name on a holiday card or get it laseretched on a fake rock for your front lawn.

How do you write it? Is it The Millers or The Miller’s?

Everyone likes a good party (after all, that’s why you’re improving your grammar, right?), and apostrophes are like sentence confetti, adding a fun flair to your scintillating syntax. But a misplaced

apostrophe is like confetti at a funeral— inappropriate and impossible to undo.

To make your last name plural, never add an apostrophe. Just don’t do it. The Millers went to the concert is correct.

Adding an apostrophe to your last name makes it possessive: Did you see The Millers’ cool new van?

If your last name ends with s, z, x, ch or sh, simply add es to make it plural: Season’s Greetings from The Foxes. If your last name ends in any other letter (including y), simply add an s: The Honeycutts are incredibly photogenic.

So, if you’re considering adding your family’s name on the back of your luxury yacht, write The Millers. Adding an apostrophe will simply get you uninvited from those swanky boat parties, leaving you to drink your boxed wine alone while you sadly stalk everyone else’s happy boat photos on Facebook.

Dispatches Painting kitchen cabinets — If you are repainting your kitchen cabinets, one pro suggestion is to use an enamel underbody primer. It will dry slowly and level well, giving you more working time and fewer brush marks. It also sands easily to provide a perfectly smooth base for your finish coat.

Appliance anxiety — If you suffer from travel-related appliance anxiety (did I turn off the stove/iron/curling iron before I left?), here’s a tip. Walk around and take photos of your appliances in the off or unplugged state. Having the photos handy will remind you that everything is safe at home and let you enjoy the trip.
