Sweet sounds for Millers at Band Day editorial@youarecurrent.com

The Noblesville High School Marching Millers placed ninth at the 2012 Indiana State Fair Band Day Competition on Aug. 3 by scoring an 80.7. The school’s color guard was 12th out of 46 and the drum line was seventh.

Forty-six bands performed in this year’s competition, which began at 9 a.m. on the track in front of the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The final competition of the Top 16 bands was held later that evening.

The medieval era met modern music when the Marching Millers, directed by Eric Thornbury, took the track. Their show, entitled “Fanfare for a New Era,” includes “Fanfare for a New Era” by Jack Stamp, “Variants on a Medieval Tune” by Norman Dello Joio, and “New Era Dance” by Aaron Kernis.

Noblesville’s show started with an opening fanfare and the presentation of medieval banners. It moved into a slow section with the guard presenting and making a stained glass window such as would be found in a castle. It then went into the

City getting fire hydrant improvements

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Indiana American Water has announced a $375,000 plan to retrofit nearly all of the community’s fire hydrants with Storz quick-connect hydrant nozzles. Storz connectors allow firefighters to connect to hydrants with a quick, quarter turn action, enhancing firefighter response times in comparison to traditional threaded couplings.

“This investment by Indiana American Water to upgrade nearly all of our fire hydrants to accept Storz-type connectors represents a quantum leap forward for fire safety and response times for our firefighters,” said Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear. “The installation of these connectors throughout the community has been a top priority for me and our firefighters for some time. These enhancements will save precious seconds in critical fire situations and help us to be more effective when it really counts.”

Noblesville Fire Chief Ken Gilliam is also enthusiastic about the company’s plans.

“Experience has shown that fires can double in size every 30 to 60 seconds,” he said. “These connectors make our job of getting water running through hoses and onto fires much easier and quicker. There is no doubt in my mind that it will ultimately result in fewer lives lost, a reduction in fire-related injuries and trauma, and less property damage related to fires in the Noblesville area.”

Storz is a type of hose coupling using inter-

locking hooks and flanges that is widely used in firefighting applications. To couple a Storz connection, the two opposing couplings are pressed together and rotated in opposite directions until they are tight or the latches engage.

Approximately 560 hydrants in the Noblesville area are already equipped with Storz connectors, primarily on hydrants installed by developers in the last nine years. The city passed an ordinance in 2003 specifying that Storz connectors must be included on all new hydrant installations within the city.

“We’re pleased to be able to work with Mayor Ditslear and Chief Gilliam to make this investment in the Noblesville area,” said Bruce Hauk, vice president of operations for Indiana American Water. “One of the most important services we provide to the communities we serve across the state is that of providing superior firefighting capabilities to the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect our families, homes and businesses. Anything we can do to help them is a prudent investment.”

Indiana American Water will be installing approximately 975 additional Storz connectors to fire hydrants in the Noblesville area. As these fire hydrants are being retrofitted, the company will also be cleaning and painting fire hydrants throughout the Noblesville area. The project will be completed by the end of August. Indiana American Water’s Noblesville District has approximately 14,280 customer connections.

SUMMER IS WHEN YOUR REALIZE THE JOURNEY IS THE DESTINATION. Start yours today and take advantage of the best offers of the season. Visit Dreyer & Reinbold Infiniti today or DreyerReinboldInfiniti.com for more information.

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com The Ninth Annual Jake Laird Memorial Golf Outing will be held August 24 at Pebble Brook Golf Club in Noblesville. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with opening ceremonies at 10:30 a.m. The four-man teams will begin with a shotgun start at 11 a.m. The round of golf will include closest to the pin, long drive, and putting contests.

The outing also includes special surprise events, dinner, awards, and a live auction after golf.

For more information or to Laird register your group, contact Mike Laird at 842-6338 or mike@thejakelairdmemorialtourney.org.

The Jake Laird Memorial Fund was created in 2004 by his parents, Mike and Debbie Laird.

Laird was a well-respected Indianapolis Police officer who was killed August 18, 2004 when he and other officers responded to numerous 911 calls reporting gunfire on the south side of Indianapolis. Laird’s strong desire to serve the public and his intense loyalty to the police department has created a desire in his parents to continue his dream of public service by developing his memorial fund.

“The mission of the memorial fund is to provide financial contributions to law enforcement agencies for the purchase of new equipment or

the institution of new instructional programs, and financial assistance to officers injured in the line of duty,” Mike and Debbie said.

The annual golf tourney is the memorial fund’s only fundraiser each year. What started as an event with 80 golfers in 2004 has grown to more than 300 participants last year. As of January 2012, the Lairds have been able to donate more than $270,000 to various police and firefighter causes throughout the state of Indiana.

“We are absolutely certain this is what Jake would have wanted us to do in his memory,” the Lairds said.

Those interested in making non-golf contributions can mail donations to M & I Bank c/o The Jake Laird Memorial Fund, 7652 N. Shadeland Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46250.

Emergency response

NFD fights two residential fires on Aug. 5

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Two separate residential fires on August 5 caused a total of $145,000 worth of damages.

At approximately 10:29 p.m., the Noblesville Fire Dept. was dispatched to 8725 Luann St., Noblesville. The 911 caller, Linda Domke, stated that she had been out in the garage watching TV for approximately one hour before she went back into the residence and discovered her home full of smoke.

NFD Division Chief Rick Russell said firefighters arrived on the scene at 10:35 p.m. and reported that smoke was visible from the front side of the structure. Fire suppression crews made an interior attack on the fire and had it under control at 10:51 p.m.

The fire originated in the living room of the home.

“The possible cause of the fire was a candle left burning in the living room,” said Russell. “The fire has caused approximately $85,000 in damages.”

Russell said the home was owned by Theodore Trumbauer of Greenwood and Domke and Rebekah Ferrell were occupants of the residence.

Just earlier that day, a residential fire in the Lochaven housing addition of Noblesville caused approximately $60,000 worth of damages.

Russell said the firefighters were dispatched to a residence fire located at 14822 MacDuff Dr., Noblesville, at 6:06 a.m. Three minutes later, fire suppression crews arrived on the scene, reporting that no flames or smoke were visible from the exterior of the structure. However, upon entering the residence they discovered a working fire in the basement. The fire was under control at 6:30 a.m.

Russell said the fire originated in the basement of the home between the floors where a flex gas line, a metal support for the heating system and other cables come together.

There were no injuries associated with either incident.

The overnight thunderstorms and lightning are believed to have caused a residential fire in the early hours of Aug. 9. At 5:08 a.m., NFD firefighters were dispatched to 15910 Bounds Dr. The home owner, Eli Shebanov, stated that he believes that his home was struck by lightning.

Shebanov said he did not notice any problems after the strike, but a few minutes later his smoke detectors in the home started to sound. He then discovered that the attic space above his bedroom was on fire. There are no injuries or deaths to report. An estimated dollar loss was not available prior to publication.

Cover Story

Other changes, new faces this year

Promise Road Elementary School is located at 14975 Promise Rd., the school is Noblesville’s first to be built in the fast-growing southeast section of Noblesville Township and the first to be constructed east of Ind. 37. It is the district’s seventh elementary school and will house approximately 630 students its first year. The school will be dedicated during a special program on Oct. 7.

Promise Road Elementary opening one of many changes for 2012-2013 school year

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Kelly Treinen began working for Noblesville Schools on July 1, 2011. For the past year, as principal she has worked tirelessly on preparing Promise Road Elementary School for Wednesday’s opening.

From the foundation being poured to the final coat hook screwed in, Treinen has seen all the work put into the district’s seventh elementary school and she's excited for the educational process to begin.

“I can’t wait for the first day of school and for those kids to get off the buses,” said Treinen. “I love this job. I love doing this job in Noblesville.”

As students enter the school, one of the first things they will notice is a large mural of children in the foyer. The mural was designed specifically for Promise Road and features images of kids from North, Stony Creek and White River elementary schools – the children who will make up the student body.

While the faculty itself has been taking shape over the last year, Treinen has been working to bring together the pieces that are the most important part of the school – its teachers. The majority of teachers previously taught in other Noblesville schools while 11 are new to the district.

“We’ve put together one of the highest energy, thought-provoking and creative group of educators,” she said.

The district is pushing for the implementation of 21st century learning skills in the classroom. While other elementary schools are phasing in the curriculum, Promise Road is diving in feet first.

“We hired new teachers with the expectation we’d begin day one,” said Treinen. “Teachers have been learning the most effective strategies for integrating the 21st century learning skills of collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking into the curriculum.

Project-based learning is an approach that emphasizes those 21st century skills.”

Treinen said PBL presents students a problem, asks them what they need to know to solve the problem and how they can find the information they need and then challenges them to collaborate with classmates to find the answers.

Because flexible space is important to learning in the 21st century environment, Promise Road’s classrooms and the media center are equipped with fliptop student tables instead of traditional student desks. Treinen said the tables allow a fast change in the way a room is configured when the curriculum and day’s activities call for a different use of classroom space.

Promise Road will also be utilizing the newest technology. www.currentnoblesville.com

Meet Kelly Treinen ◆ Residence: Noblesville ◆ Hometown: Carroll, Iowa ◆ Education: Carroll High School, undergraduate at University of South Dakota, two masters from Ball State University in elementary education and supervision and instruction.

What you enjoy most about your job: Working with teachers, students and families.

Helping facilitate the professional growth of teachers and seeing the impact it has on students. ◆ Favorite children’s book: Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester and Lynn Munsinger ◆ Hobbies: Bicycling, reading and traveling ◆ Personal quote: “I think everyone should smile every day, don’t you?” Michael Treinen once told his mother. Kelly has taken that attitude with her. “Even on the worst day there is a positive. . . Kids struggling in school should not hate coming to school. We have high expectations here, but we are going to get there by creating a positive environment.”

Unlike other elementary schools within the district, Treinen said each classroom will be equipped with a desktop computer, two iPads and access to a portable lab of laptop computers. The classroom’s Apple TV is coupled with the use of the computers and iPads for instruction.

“There are so many capabilities with an iPad,” said Treinen. “You can use it as a camera, reader, with apps – it’s so versatile and can be taken anywhere in the room.”

Classroom will also feature a sound system, which comes with a handheld microphone that students can use when making presentations.

“Each teacher will be wearing a microphone so everybody can hear them even if they’re at the chalkboard with their back to the students,” said Treinen. “Teachers will be wearing them all the time, but if you take two steps out of your classroom it stops.”

Prior to coming to Noblesville, Trienen was principal at Durbin Elementary School in Hamilton Southeastern school district.

“It feels like home,” she said of the move. “My kids went to school here and now I get to be a part of the educational system as an administrator.”

Current in Noblesville

The 2012-2013 school year marks a first in Noblesville history – two middle schools. The current middle school has be renamed Noblesville East Middle School and the intermediate school on Hague Road has become Noblesville West Middle School.

Beginning this school year, elementary schools will house kindergarten through grade 5 and the middle schools will house grades 6-8. Students in grades 6-8 who live west of White River will attend Noblesville West Middle School and those who live east of White River will attend Noblesville East Middle School.

NEMS Principal Ryan Rich said Noblesville is moving from a middle school of 1,400 seventh and eighth grade students to two schools of 1,000 and 1,200 students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades.

“The change is going to open many more opportunities for kids in drama, show choirs, jazz band, honors strings, athletics and extracurricular activities,” he said. “We’re adding an opportunity for enrichment we didn’t have before.”

In addition to the grade level changes in buildings, the district will also have a few new faces in administrative roles.

• Each elementary school will have an assistant principal to help with teacher evaluations and other administrative duties. Assistant principals will not travel between two schools, instead they will teach half of the day. Since Hinkle Creek has a part-time assistant, it will turn to a fulltime position because the school has more than 800 students.

• Stacey Swan will replace Kyle Barrentine at NWMS. An assistant principal at the NHS Main Campus, Swan moved to the freshman campus and served as the assistant principal there durSwan ing the 2011-2012 school year.

• Dan Swafford, assistant principal at NHS since 2005, is moving to the freshman campus to become the lead administrator there.

• NHS has added two assistant Swafford principals at the main campus – both of whom have taught at the school. Noblesville resident and former Westfield High School Assistant Principal Craig McCaffrey left his principal position at Franklin Community High School to return to NHS. McCaffery McCaffrey taught chemistry and Earth science at NHS from 2000 to 2003 before leaving to become principal at Taylor Middle School. Kevin Stuckwisch has taught physics at NHS since 2007 and was chairman of the science department during the Stuckwisch 2011-12 school year. He previously taught for three years in Warsaw, Ind., and eight years in East Moline, Ill. August 14, 2012 | 9

VIEWS

Opinion This did not have to happen

Fundraising It is our position that traditional fundraising tactics used by school, sports, church and youth groups are losing their effectiveness. We are growing tired of being guilted by well-meaning children and their adult counterparts into buying twenty-dollar magazine subscriptions, thirty-dollar bags of popcorn and overpriced wrapping paper.

While the Girl Scouts are the clear victors in offering tasty cookies for an affordable $3.50 a box, consumers are getting less for their dollar due to the rising cost of production. Most members of the community are glad to donate a few dollars towards these causes. Lately, it seems that the real winners in the fundraising game are the manufacturers and publishers who also benefit from the sale of these items.

Even though many school PTO’s have listened and are now offering a one-time donation option, it seems that we are still constantly solicited to buy goods, trade-in box tops, and buy raffle tickets, just to name a few. Fundraising is only going to grow and it will likely become more challenging for these groups to cash in during this weakened economy. If these organizations could just spare us the “stuff,” they may get more cash in return, which would benefit their cause more efficiently.

Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. The easiest is to e-mail it to info@ currentnoblesville.com.

Let me count the ways Commentary by Terry Anker

How do I love Thee, let me count the ways.

When Elizabeth Barrett Browning penned the (now famous) line, one could imagine that she was yet another romantic poet in a time of many romantic poets. But this particular phrase has held sway in the some 17 decades or so since it first found its way from creator to audience. Why? Certainly it resonates as we consider the ways in which we share our love with another. But doesn’t it also get at our innate desire to create lists?

We list our top movie picks. We keep long lists of things to pick-up at the market. We create imaginary buckets into which to compile our lists of things to see and do before we die. We list our friends and our enemies.

We list it all. But too often, doesn’t the list become the object in itself? The act of creating the list becomes a substitute for actually accomplishing anything on it.

Maybe list making is simply another mark of the over-achievement driven set among us.

Once, I actually made a list of all the lists that I needed to make. But aren’t lists most effective when they are used as elemental tools – as simple pneumonics to keep us on track and prevent distraction?

They are tidy devices to keep us from forgetting the point of our mission and to extend the limited powers of our own minds.

Ultimately, lists are useful and authoritative mechanisms to get more done and to improve recall. Yet, they are not a substitute for doing.

We are still accountable to ourselves (if not the list) to actually watch the movies, buy the groceries and jump out of an airplane.

That Brett Finbloom, 19, of Carmel lost his life in an apparent binge-drinking incident makes us incredibly sad for his family, friends and all those in our communities who have lost loved ones and friends to similar tragic circumstances, so this isn’t about geography. The Web site, teenalcoholabuse.us, tells us approximately 5,000 teens die every year as a result of alcohol use, and we also learned that teens are more likely than adults to consume too much when they are in possession of alcohol, increasing the risk of accidents. The education, begun at home and in schools as early as elementaryschool age, is there. Evidence is there. It’s all very black and white. So it’s absolutely confounding when it happens. Look, we were imbibing youth once upon a time. We, as now with our own children and relatives, believed we were invincible.

Loss. Devastation. Heartbreak. Why does this happen? Independence. Experimentation. A jointhe-party posture. Lose your cares. But, lose your life? Let’s hope and pray this young man did not die in vain as we keep his family and friends in our hearts and prayers.

Opinion

It's time to update the sign Commentary by Robert Herrington

We have many things to be proud of in Noblesville. We love our downtown, history, schools, the small-town atmosphere, but we all know it’s the residents that make our city great.

When a citizen goes above and beyond to make this city better they receive recognition. Maybe it’s a simple thank you note, a proclamation from the mayor or being grand marshal of a community parade. But in the case of David Boudia, I think we need to step it up.

It’s time to update the “Welcome to Noblesville” signs across major roadways in the city.

Currently, the “home of ” sign bears the name of country musician and songwriter Steve Wariner.

Boudia made history on July 30 – not Noblesville history but United States sporting history. He and Nick McCrory not only won the first Olympic medal for the United States in men’s diving since the 1996 games in Atlanta, they did it in a event no American male had ever medaled in before.

If you’ve watched the Olympics, it’s hard to miss the national commercials Boudia has starred in. His bronze medal performance is showcased at the start of the Coke Olympic moment’s nightly feature and Morgan Freeman described Boudia’s practice routines in a Visa commercial, which first aired during the opening ceremonies.

To my knowledge, Boudia is only the second athlete to earn an Olympic medal while living in Hamilton County – the other being former Pacer Reggie Miller in 1996.

Since the 1896 games in Athens, Olympic. org states there are approximately 28,000 Olympic medalists and one comes from our city.

Think about that – of all the countries and all the events (summer and winter) the number of Olympic medalists since 1896 is smaller than Westfield's population of approximately 30,000 people and one proudly calls Noblesville home.

Besides being a two-time Olympian and bronze medal winner (in full disclosure, this column was sent to the printer prior to the 10 meter individual platform diving event), Boudia is a class act. The day after he achieved his childhood dream of winning an Olympic medal, here’s what Boudia tweeted: “We hold these Olympic medals like they are everything, they aren’t. It doesn’t matter this side of heaven. Woken up to real perspective.”

Medalist or not, this is someone we should proudly boast as ours as loud as we can.

Glad summer is over

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

School is upon us, my friends, and I, for one, am thrilled! Can I get a “Whoop, whoop!”? See, as much as I love summer vacation (and need a break from the grueling parenting demands of four not-always-so-well-organized children), I am usually ready for it to be over after approximately five weeks. ’Cause that’s the time it takes for my beautifully constructed summer plan to be ruined.

Take the computer/Xbox restrictions. In June, my husband and I monitored our kids’ electronic playtime very closely to ensure minimum brain-cell damage and muscle atrophy. But as the heat set in and the novelty of swimming in our neighborhood pool wore off, our commitment to occasional Amish-style living bit the dust, much like my drought-stricken petunias.

As for the chore list, it fared only somewhat better. Between a beach vacation and grandparent visits, sport camps and sleepovers, we weren’t here enough to make much of a mess, and frankly, I just stopped caring whose night it was for dishes. Let’s order pizza!

We continued to have movie night approximately once a week, and were treated to some downright awful viewings. Doo and I, still slugging through the Top 100 Films of All Time, wasted more than four hours of our lives with Raging Bull and Cabaret (sans kids as both are

R-rated) and decided we’d rather participate in a marathon loop of our daughter’s choice, Breaking Dawn, before ever seeing either of those again. Painful. That’s truly saying something if you’ve seen any of the Twilight movies!

And the summer reading program I so boldly promoted? It never even got to committee. I completed my eight books and won an always-appreciated fine reduction coupon from the library, but I don’t think any of my kids finished one stinkin’ book. But, again, at some point around July 1, I couldn’t have cared less.

They’re supposed to be on break, right? They’re supposed to be enjoying time away from schoolwork. It’s OK if they don’t want to read. [Yes, I actually convinced myself that I was helping rejuvenate my children’s abused minds through video games. Yikes.]

So, I’m ready for school to begin. I’m ready for the structure and routine that only bus stops and math homework can provide. I’m ready to put away the stupid sunscreen, track down the moldy lunchboxes, and get back to the controlled world of the academic calendar year. I’m ready to say farewell to Summer 2012. Peace out.

FANTASTIC ART

Gallery owner Bill Niemeyer brings artists Dave Seeley and Jeremy Caniglia to Carmel

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Since March, Bill Niemeyer, owner of Carmel’s Atlas Fantasy Art House, has been working to bring fantasy and science fiction artists to Central Indiana. The artists visit the gallery, meet the public and give a demonstration. These events have begun to slowly cement Central Indiana as a center for the art of the fantastic.

“It’s kind of like an art movement,” said Niemeyer.

“It’s all about bringing awareness to this kind of art in the Midwest. The artists are more Niemeyer than happy to come out and represent the art.”

Dave Seeley, a digital artist and painter who has worked with Lucasfilm and Wizards of the Coast, appeared at Niemeyer’s event last Saturday at Shiraz Wine Experience & Art Café in Carmel. This appearance was the first of two Niemeyer has scheduled for the month of August.

“I was an architect for about a dozen years.

When my wife and I found out she was pregnant, I decided I wanted to be a more active parent and made the jump to art,” said Seeley. “Art has been my main gig for almost 16 years now.”

Seeley’s art is a unique blend of dramatic architecture, photorealistic characters and painterly images. The result is a blend of styles that is as visually striking as it is detailed.

“Almost everything I do starts with photo collage. I have Seely a stylistic range with things that look more painted and things that look more photorealistic,” said Seeley. “I love chaos in images.”

Jeremy Caniglia, a gothic painter, is the second artist appearing this month. Over the years, he has worked with Stephen King, Ray Bradbury and many other great fantasy authors.

“Caniglia has a darker side to most of his art. It tends to be a darker type of realism. I wouldn’t even necessarily always call it fantasy

art,” said Niemeyer.

Caniglia’s style is considerably darker and more organic than that of Seeley. A number of his paintings emphasize life, death, and moments of extreme emotion, triumph and defeat.

With these types of events, Niemeyer has created a community of art lovers that have come to embrace the world of fantasy and science fiction art.

“You are seeing much more of this art today.

More collectors are moving towards this kind of art. Most of it is now part of pop culture. These artists have done book covers, album art and film work that is very recognizable,” said Niemeyer.

Artist Jeremy Caniglia is giving a lecture on the history of the art of the fantastic at 4 p.m. this Saturday at Shiraz Wine Experience & Art Café (404 W. Main St., Carmel). Caniglia and Seeley’s art is currently on display at the Atlas Fantasy Art House (246 W. Main St., Carmel).

“The Jersey Effect”

by Hunter Smith and Darrin Gray Review by Tania Roudebush Owner, Black Dog Books As a new football season is about to begin, I highly recommend Hunter Smith and Darrin Gray’s new book, “The Jersey Effect”. It’s about faith, football and keeping sports in perspective of life.

Hunter Smith draws on his experiences playing football during college for Notre Dame and as the Indianapolis Colts’ punter for 10 years.

Gray and Smith include testimonies from seven players and three coaches for the Indianapolis Colts.

Former Coach Tony Dungy suggests that young people need to be encouraged to grow in four areas: academically, socially, athletically and spiritually. He maintains that too often athletics are emphasized over the other areas and a couple of them take precedence when all four are needed.

Hunter Smith models the power of choosing friends who share one’s spiritual values, point us in the right direction when needed

and wholeheartedly support us.

The Jersey Effect’s message can be applied to any walk of life. It is especially applicable to young people and families with sports playing a large part of their lives.

Signed copies of the Jersey Effect are available at Black Dog Books, 115 S. Main Street in Zionsville.

Treating a sign of summer: Swimmer’s ear Commentary by Jennifer Jones Summer’s string of scorching days makes swimming even more inviting. While swimming is a great way to cool off, kids who spend a lot of time in the water, especially underwater, can experience inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal. This is medically referred to as otitis externa, but commonly known as “swimmer’s ear.”

Unlike middle ear infections that occur behind the eardrum, otitis externa affects the outer parts of the ear. The ear canal and outer ear can become painful and inflamed, usually from irritants such as water, cotton swabs and other foreign objects, or from scratching too hard.

With swimmer’s ear, the most common symptom is pain, although itching and redness may also occur. One way to tell if the pain is due to swimmer’s ear is to wiggle or pull on the ear. If this causes pain, it’s likely swimmer’s ear; if not, it could be a middle ear infection.

If your child has swimmer’s ear, your doctor likely will prescribe ear drops with a steroid to be applied several times a day. The pain should subside quickly, but swimming is generally discouraged while using the drops.

Some children and adults are more prone to

swimmer’s ear than others. Keeping the ears as dry as possible will help prevent the condition.

Tilting the head and drying ears with a towel after swimming is a good way to avoid water being trapped in the ears. Drying ears with a hair dryer on the coolest setting also works. For children experiencing frequent cases of swimmer’s ear, a swim cap, ear plugs or over-the-counter ear drying drops are often helpful.

For general ear care, refrain from clearing the ear wax from ears. Wax provides a natural protective barrier and helps prevent infection.

Jennifer Jones, MD, is a guest columnist from IU Health Physicians Pediatrics, 1650 W. Oak St., Suite 210.

She can be reached by calling the office at 873-8855.

Brain muscle – It's that time of the year again – back to school – and a new report suggests adding an extra step to your child's registration process: enrolling him or her in a sport. In a study of more than 1,000 fifth graders, those who had higher levels of physical activity typically scored better on math and reading tests. - www.children.webmd.com

Swine Flu spreading across Indiana editorial@youarecurrent.com Hoosier health officials have now confirmed 113 cases of variant influenza A (H3N2v), impacting 18 counties statewide – including Hamilton County – with more cases expected to be confirmed.

The Indiana State Dept. of Health has set up a call center to answer the general public’s questions regarding variant influenza A. The call center is open 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday. The call center telephone number is (877) 826-0011.

Flu symptoms usually include fever and respiratory symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, and runny nose, and possibly other symptoms, such as body aches, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea.

Symptoms may last anywhere from three to eight days.

Health officials have not determined person to person transmission at this time, but continue to investigate the possibility. Variant Influenza A virus can be directly transmitted from swine to people and from people to swine. Influenza viruses are not transmitted by eating pork and pork products.

Human cases of West Nile reported – The first human cases of the West Nile virus in Indiana have been confirmed in Hamilton and Marion counties, state health officials announced Aug. 3. In addition to the two human cases reported, mosquito groups in 44 counties have tested positive for the virus, according to the Indiana State Dept. of Health. The Indiana State Dept. of Health has collected and tested nearly 71,000 mosquitoes from 89 counties. Those mosquitoes were divided into 961 pools for West Nile virus and Saint Louis encephalitis.

Officials said there have been no positive findings for Saint Louis encephalitis to date.

“Unfortunately, these two cases tell everyone that despite the dry conditions and hot temperatures, the virus is circulating in the state and we’re susceptible to infection,” said State Health Commissioner Gregory Larkin, M.D. “Usually the virus causes only mild disease, but some people will develop more severe illness. Hoosiers should take steps to protect themselves from being bitten by mosquitoes.” West Nile virus usually causes West Nile fever, which is a milder form of the virus. This can include symptoms like fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph glands or a rash. A more severe form of the disease can develop with encephalitis or meningitis and other severe syndromes, including flaccid muscle paralysis, according to the health dept.

DOUGH Insurance / Business Finding the right balance of auto coverage and cost Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Kortney P. from Noblesville: I have four vehicles and four people driving in my family. I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to get the best price. Any tips?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: The first thing you need to do is make sure you have an independent insurance agent helping you find the right coverage for you.

Independent insurance agents have access to multiple carriers and will be able to find the right coverages at the best price by checking all of them. The key is finding the right balance of coverage and price. Your independent agent will be able to explain what you are sacrificing as you adjust coverages to get a lower price (unlike getting your insurance from the internet).

There are also a couple of things to keep in mind if you have young drivers on your policy.

Make sure that your young driver is assigned to the correct vehicle. The difference between a teenager being the primary driver on a Toyota Camry versus being the primary on a new Mercedes is significant. Make sure your agent knows if your child is a good student also. Many carriers give a discount for young drivers that stay on the honor roll.

Sign the papers – It’s now cheaper to buy homes than rent in 98 of the top 100 metro areas in America, according to trulia.com. Even better? Becoming a landlord. You stand to see returns of five to 10 percent from rent over a five- to 10-year hold. - cnnmoney.com

You can also double check that your vehicles are listed properly on your insurance policy.

Look over your policy to make sure you are receiving a credit if your vehicle has an alarm or security system. Make sure that your yearly driving estimates are still accurate. Changing the amount you drive each year can alter your premium. You should also make sure that your coverages reflect the value of the vehicle you are insuring. For example, it doesn’t make much sense to have full coverage insurance with a $1000 deductible on a vehicle that is only worth $2,000. A mistake like that adds unnecessary premium to your policy.

The last thing you need to do is make sure you are maximizing your policy discounts. A multi-policy discount is probably the most valuable discount that people miss out on. You can qualify for this even if you don’t own a home.

Pairing a renter’s insurance policy OR a homeowners insurance policy with your auto policy will qualify you for a great discount.

Small ship cruises: An experience like no other Commentary by Tracy Line If you’re looking for a unique vacation, why not try a small ship cruise? There are a variety of cruise lines with a wide offering of itineraries available. Explore the Americas, Europe, Tahiti, the Caribbean and more. Read on to learn about the advantages of a small ship cruise.

Personal touch. Small ships typically hold anywhere from 36-96 passengers. Guests really get to know one another, the captain, crew and even the chef. Meals are informal with open seating, and entertainment and cuisine tend to be local. Itineraries can be flexible based on passenger preferences and area offerings.

More inclusions. Most small ships have inclusions large ships don’t offer. Daily excursions, wine and spirits, use of kayaks or bicycles and sometimes even a massage are included in the price of your trip. Local guides can answer destination questions, and onboard experts often accompany you on your excursions.

Unique excursions. Small ships have access to ports that can’t accommodate larger ships. This allows guests a very different experience. You may be able to get really close to watch a glacier calve, or paddle board in a remote cove that is otherwise inaccessible. In addition, excursions are exclusive; you may learn to play the steel drums in Honduras, or set anchor in the beautiful Princess Louisa Inlet and kayak to shore for a hike.

Relaxed atmosphere. Small ships provide a

great mix of adventure, culture and relaxation.

Dinners are informal, the atmosphere is laid back and the excursions are one of a kind. If you prefer to read a book instead of exploring the city, go for it. Service is typically top-notch, but exploring your destination is truly the focus of a small ship cruise.

A small ship won’t have the bells and whistles of a large ocean liner, but it will give you a unique adventure and memorable vacation.

Sensible watering during a drought Who doesn’t relish in that little rainbow from the spray of the garden hose? It’s one of the simple joys of gardening. . . ’till the man says I gotta put the hose up due to drought.

Dang it.

Then my watering chores are all about priority. Firstly, my potted annuals get water since they’re the first to dry out in this weather. Save water and time by use a slow drip “aquaglobe” or similar device.

Second, if I had some, would be veggies. Consistent moisture will be important for tomato growers while the peppers can stand a little heat – again, priorities.

Trees and shrubs, especially as they are establishing that first and second season need at least an inch of water a week. To achieve this simply lay the hose on a slow stream at the base of the plant and walk away for 20 to 30 minutes. You’d be surprised how much water a plant doesn’t get by showering it with a water wand or sprinkler.

And an evergreen need not be hit by repetitive www.currentnoblesville.com

sprinkling, anyway. Please.

Perennials should be mulched up to two inches to keep moisture consistent. A little wilting here and there won’t hurt established perennials.

And the money to replace them is not what it would be for our trees and shrubs.

Slow drip irrigators such as the Treegator are great for establishing trees and shrubs and they make a low profile model to fit under evergreens or around shrubs.

Simply fill with water and walk away. Check your local garden center, Salsbery Brothers in Carmel keeps them in stock.

Until the man lifts the ban, I have to do my part to keep things in check and still enjoy gardening. The only thing left to do is grow cacti, I suppose. And somehow that just doesn’t seem like much fun.

Brighter Days

What’s Your Condition?

This fall, keep your little black dress hanging in the closet and opt for a brighter shade for your event instead! Teal, Papaya and Amethyst are in! Choose any one of these bold colors to update your look this season. Whether you opt for a little flash of color with a large cuff, or get decked out from head to toe in one of these bold hues, you are sure to win with these eye-popping colors. Wear a silk dress in one of these jeweled tones with black pumps and metallic jewelry to really complete your look.

As summer is winding down, and kids are going back to school, have you considered how your hair fared over the summer? If you’re like me, your hair may have been damaged from too much sun, chlorine or saltwater. Here are some tips on how to turn things around for this fall: 1. Ask your stylist about in-salon hair conditioning treatments.

Professional conditioning treatments can virtually reverse the ravages of summer-induced damage. Your stylist can recommend a regular regimen over the next several weeks to almost completely restore the integrity of your hair.

2. Get a good, healthy trim. It is time to start thinking about your new fall hair style anyway. While you are at it, get some of the damaged ends cut off. Your hair will again feel healthy and vibrant with just a nice trim.

3. Start using a leave in conditioner on a daily basis. Get in the habit now to help promote healthy, hydrated hair all year long!

Remember, when all that fun in the sun starts to take its toll, it is important to take care of your tresses, after all it is the most important accessory you own! A stylist at Salon 01 would be happy to recommend an in-salon and take home conditioner that is right for you!

Health Benefits of Massage Massages are relaxing, and a nice way to have your stress melt away, but did you know that there are also health benefits to having regular massages?

First, massages help relieve and prevent muscle cramps, and reduce tension and anxiety. However, you may be unaware that massages also stimulate the lymphatic system in your body which helps carry away oxidants and other waste products from your muscles.

Now, next time you are in need of some stress relief, rest assured that you are not being vain, but improving your overall health! Call 317-580-0101 to book your appointment with Michael, our experience therapist today!

Creating shade almost seems like a bonus

72% of women feel they work a “2nd

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Quit your night job and hire

Creating shade in outdoor living spaces is becoming more appropriate than ever. Recent extreme temperatures have prompted an impressive volume of public conversations regarding shade strategies. Fortunately, many solutions exist and it’s often a marriage of tactics that are most effective in helping us develop smart sun consumption habits.

•Regular service, on-call service and one-time cleanings

Pergola

This Latin word, borrowed from the Italian term “pergola,” refers to a protective eave extending from a house. Initially, mid 1600s renditions consisted primarily of flexible willow shoots that were transformed into long, covered, arched walkways. When densely planted with vines, a completely shaded area impervious to rain was created. Willow shoots soon graduated to more formal structures with grand stone columns, often of massive scale.

Muscular columns, shadows, romance

The Villages of West Clay project boasts a large pergola attached to the home, offering protection from the harsh sun for both the abbreviated grill station /landing and previously baked inside dining area. This modern mid-west construction has muscular 8-by-8 cedar columns, smartly trimmed and detailed to echo those in the home. Most homeowners initially prefer the

A soothing water feature, accented with Indiana granite boulders and native grasses, invites guests to relax. An abbreviated two-post pergola hangs above a lower patio entertaining counter, and is complimented by a total shade-producing lanais. Shade trees will help as their dappled canopies mature.

Perhaps it’s the pergola’s Italian heritage that prompts the romantic twist. Maybe it’s the gen-

eral mood of the space we create, and the open breeze, that produces dancing shadows from the overhead architecture. But, the mood of any outdoor living area is dramatically impacted by the romance of a pergola.

One size for all

Commentary by David Decker

Cabinets come in all shapes and sizes. You can get stocked cabinets, custom cabinets and even semi-custom cabinets. In fact, depending on your space, needs, and budget, finding the right balance of function, quality, and price is just a matter of planning.

When beginning to brainstorm your new or remodeled kitchen layout, you will probably come across a design principle called the “work triangle.� This is a concept that dictates that each working area, including the refrigerator, sink, and cooking appliances, should be at least four feet but no more than nine or 10 feet apart.

Ideally, this will economize the cook’s traffic pattern while keeping others out of the triangle.

Size

Stock cabinets usually come in 3 inch width increments. The standard for base cabinets (the ones countertops go on) is 24 inches deep and 34.5 inches tall. Upper cabinets are usually 12 inches deep and either 30 or 42 inches tall. If your project can be designed to accommodate stock cabinets, you may be able to save a few dollars.

Semi-custom cabinets are also pre-manufactured cabinets that provide a great value with more options than Stock cabinets. An expanded range of color finishes and accessories are available for Semi-custom cabinetry.

Custom cabinets are, in general, more expensive, but you should not necessarily think of them as a luxury. For instance, elevating or raising a dishwasher within a custom cabinet would eliminate the need to bend all the way over to fill or empty it, which is ideal for those who suffer from joint pain, back pain, and, well, age.

• Semi-custom cabinets provide more options and are what we consider a better value than stock cabinets. • Custom Cabinets may come with a higher price tag, but they also afford you the most possibilities and options — and depending on your remodel values, they might be the right choice.

The options can be endless and a bit overwhelming. You may find you aren’t sure which route to take as you may not know what is available. That’s why seeking out a good kitchen designer can be essential when searching for the right balance of design, quality, and price for projects of all budgets.

Planning For Budget

Each project is different, but cabinets can easily account for anywhere between 25–50 percent of a remodel project’s total cost. You should also consider that new cabinets and countertops alone would be a dramatic facelift or upgrade to any room. • Stock cabinets provide the lowest cost option. v
