“I have struggled with foot pain for many years, I have had treatment and surgery from several very experienced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause lifestyle changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shopping with friends. I had accepted with sadness the reality that those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonderful results in less than a week after my treatment. It has now been several months; I am still pain free.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that with the continuing rise in the residential foreclosure market, this is the time for homebuyers and investors alike to find great deals on properties.

With still no “boom” in the housing sales market, there is a number of properties with great potential now available all over our community that have significant potential as a rental or rehab.

Nearly every neighborhood finds itself plagued by homes with owners either unwilling or unable to continue to provide care. These neglected properties harm values for all owners and diminish our city one street at a time. While these once-attractive homes still have great potential, they urgently require someone to assume the responsibility and time commitment involved in returning these lost souls to a more appropriate marketenhancing value, all the while, enticing families to continue to settle down in our neighborhoods.

With the Federal Homebuyers Tax Credit now expired and the job market continuing to show signs of duress, a strong demand for affordable housing remains. And, mortgages aren’t as easy to come by as they have been for the last decade. So, even those who once could afford a reasonable mortgage are now seeking a rental or lease-to-own option.

Human thinking

It is our position that potential pet owners should look to the Humane Society for the adoption of new family members. The population at The Humane Society for Hamilton County is beyond capacity with nearly 500 pets ready for adoption. The current economic situation has caused a flood of pets to be surrendered or abandoned, and the Humane Society needs willing citizens to adopt or foster pets to help with the overcrowding.

Specialty breeds can be appealing because you can choose specific features, size, etc. However, those animals can be expensive and are bred based on the demand of the public. While families may have a specific breed in mind to add to their brood, please consider looking at The Humane Society for Hamilton County for a pet to love. The Humane Society does a great service for our community, and we should rally around them in support as their populations are soaring. The Humane Society for Hamilton County is open from noon to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and noon to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is closed on Wednesdays.

The Humane Society of Hamilton County is located at 1721 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

From the backshop Judge Hughes’ decision: Brilliant!

Hamilton County Superior Judge William Hughes last week issued what we believe to be the first sane order of the Simon saga, when he ordered all parties to mediate all disputes through a disinterested third party. He needs that person’s name by Aug. 30. What a great move by hizzonor! We get that there is a ton of dough at stake, and we also get there is no love lost between the warring factions, most related to the late Melvin Simon. Somewhere in the mess has to be the truth. We hope it’s not something Mr. Simon, a titan in development, philanthropy and other pursuits, took to his grave.

ing – near midnight. A dozen-plus bands, many of them musician friends of Matt’s, were joined by country music star and Noblesville’s own Steve Wariner, who is Matt’s uncle, and another national country star, Lee Brice, in the lineup.

Thanks to an auction that included autographed guitars by Brice, Wariner, Clint Black, Toby Keith and Garth Brooks, among other signed items, the event raised nearly $20,000, with more on the way from a yet-to-be determined matching, anonymous donation.

The money will go toward the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation’s endowment and will be used to fund ongoing music scholarships in Matt’s name.

“The support from the community of Noblesville was unbelievable, and there’s been some talk about making it an annual event,” said Wariner.

If a white dove happens to be hanging out at the next one … well, that just can’t be a coincidence.

Commentary

By Zach Dunkin Brad Wariner has lived here for 30 years and he’s never seen anything like it. A white dove in Noblesville.

The occasion was The Concert for Matt, the July 18 benefit memorial event Brad and his brother, Greg, helped organize for their musician brother, Matt, who was killed last April at the age of 28 in a car crash in town. When members from the band Matt used to play in took the stage in mid-afternoon, a white dove appeared out of nowhere and settled on the stage roof.

“It hung around just kinda checkin’ things out and then went out into the middle of the crowd,” said Brad. “Normally, a bird’s not going to hang around where there’s loud music but it did for about two hours and hit all of the right places -- the stage, the crowd, and around where my parents (Kenny and Carol Wariner) were. It wasn’t afraid of people at all.

“People were asking me, ‘Who released that?

Who released that?’ and I said, ‘As far as I know nobody did.’ That was pretty amazing. ” The entire day turned out to be pretty amazing as an estimated 4,000 people swarmed the Noblesville Moose Lodge for a 12-hour event that ended – with the mayor’s and police chief’s bless-

COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson Where do I begin? The busted water heater? The carpets that smell like dog urine? Maybe the finicky garage door or the busted phone line. Well, how about I start at the beginning of my movein day from Hell?

5 a.m.: I awaken with a sense of excitement and a slight feeling of nausea. Today’s the day! As my mind races through the list of things I need to get done – calls to be made, pets to remember, the first of three Packrat containers to empty, etc., etc. – I decide to get up and get on with it. The anticipation is making me ill.

6 a.m.: I shower in preparation for yet another job interview, knowing that once I get to my house, I won’t be able to, because the water heater broke the night before. Then I down some coffee and head off to the grocery for essential items – toilet paper, Diet Coke, peanut butter, bread and Clorox.

8 a.m.: I return to my in-laws after unloading groceries and assessing the flood status just in time to pick up my two girls, grab another load of “stuff”, and check my e-mail (no Internet at the new house yet.) Holy Mother, my interview has been moved up two hours! I quickly organize my mother-in-law for babysitting and head back to wait for the steam cleaners. The basement really does smell suspiciously like dog pee.

10 a.m.: I realize as I’m heading out the door in a full suit and heels that the steam cleaners cannot come because we have shut off the water main to stench the flow into the basement. I call and cancel and wonder how this could have happened the day we move in!

11 a.m.: I interview like a pro – this is my fifth one in two weeks – then head home to the Money Pit. 12 p.m.: The plumber arrives to tell me it will be $2,500 to replace my water heater. I call Doo and he says, “Hell no! Go

down and tell them we are getting a second opinion.” I fear confrontation and hurting people’s feelings, but I eventually manage to deliver the bad news and resign myself to the fact that I won’t have hot water for days. Then I call back the carpet cleaners and ask them if they can still come; apparently Doo only shut off the hot water, and I’m an idiot for not knowing that.

1 p.m.: I try to deal with four children who don’t have access to a TV, computer, xBox, or anything fun while my mother-inlaw and two sisters-in-law attempt to clean mold from furniture which sat too long in a non-climate controlled garage and then organize a kitchen that is slightly short on cabinet space.

4 p.m.: I take my sixth-grader to his middle school registration and shell out money like I’m made of it, which I’m not because I’ve just bought a freakin’ house and don’t have a job!

5 p.m.: I rustle up my fourth-grader for his first soccer practice of the year. Already? Yes, already.

6 p.m.: I make my third trip to the in-laws for bedding, clothing, the cat, and miscellaneous items I’d forgotten I own.

7 p.m.: I pick up my soccer star, who is bright red and crying. It seems he nearly died of heat stroke because his mother didn’t put ice in his water bottle and foolishly allowed him to drink milk beforehand.

9 p.m.: I ignore Doo as he curses the garage door, which he now cannot close. Whatever.

10 p.m.: Peace out.

My back-to-school bag Stay HOME. BE MOVED. carries mixed emotions Commentary

By Leslie Webber One of the things I enjoy about living in the Midwest is the change in seasons.

The calendar claims that fall is still a month and a half away, but “back to school” and “fall” seem to go together. So, while our house is melancholy over the end of summer, we are excited for fall.

Our son couldn’t wait to start third grade.

When people asked him if he was dreading going back to school, he looked at them as though they were crazy. I think it says something about our school that an eight-year-old boy eagerly climbs out of the pool and onto a school bus.

Our daughter started kindergarten this year.

I don’t have enough space to tell you just how excited she is, but I will tell you she made her own “Countdown to K” calendar.

Kindergarten is a change of season for which I’m not at all ready. I am 100 percent certain I just held our newborn daughter for the first time last week. How could it already be time to walk her through the front door of our elementary school?

www.youarecurrent.com

The kids both have teachers they hoped for, fresh school supplies, and willingly read over the summer. They’re ready!

Not me. I’m the hold out. I’m the one who spent the last few weeks choking up every time I held tiny hands. They spent their days reassuring their mom she wouldn’t be forgotten.

As we drove past Spencer Berry Farm, the kids both pointed out the pumpkin vines. They are bright green and devoid of bright orange pumpkins, but not for long. “Look Mom! The pumpkins will be ready soon! We can pick a pumpkin, roast seeds, and trick or treat! It’s almost fall!” They know I’m a sucker for fall and its splendor.

I reminded myself that there is a season for everything, and I’m just going to have to learn to embrace the new seasons and be thankful for the joys they bring.

Escape into your lower level retreat… it’s no longer the forgotten basement.

Police reminder: watch for kids, obey traffic rules Current in Noblesville The Noblesville Police Department takes a proactive stance to enforcing school bus arm violations and speeding in school zones. Officers are assigned specific patrols each school morning and afternoon to enforce these laws, and motorists cited for either of these violations are required to make a mandatory appearance in court Here are a few reminders for morning and late-afternoon commuters: • Be prepared for a longer commute due to school buses and increased vehicular traffic as a result of teenagers driving to school.

• Expect the unexpected. Watch for the pos-

sibility of children darting out into the street or children riding their bicycles, especially during the dark hours of the morning.

• Be patient and observe the law when approaching or following a school bus that activates its stop arm for loading and unloading.

• Be aware of intersections where children are prone to gather for the bus or at designated bus stops.

• Be mindful when traveling in or around areas where schools are located and the reduced speed limit. The typical speed in a school zone in Noblesville is 20 mph

Bond program will reduce tax rate for school projects Current in Noblesville Noblesville Schools has been approved as a participant in the 2010 Qualified School Construction Bond program by the Indiana Department of Education.

The approval allows the school district to finance $10 million of the $63.6 million building projects in a way that will reduce the tax rate for the projects by about 1.25 cents and save taxpayers an estimated $7 million to $7.5 million over the years that the projects are on the tax roll.

Prior to the May referendum, Noblesville Schools advertised a tax rate of 19 cents for the renovation and construction projects. That rate would be charged for every $100 of net assessed valuation of property. With the issuance of $10 million in bonds through the Qualified School Construction Bond program, the rate should drop to about 17.75 cents.

The Qualified School Construction Bond program is a part of the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Local taxpayers still are responsible for repayment of the $10 million, but the bonds are either interest free or

low interest. The federal government provides tax credits to lenders who issue the bonds to schools to finance construction and renovation projects.

Indiana’s authorization for the 2010 Qualified School Construction program was $182 million. School districts could apply for bonds ranging from $2 million to $10 million.

Noblesville’s $10 million is designated for the renovation of Hinkle Creek and Tri-County as those two buildings become one elementary school, and also for a part of the projects slated at Stony Creek.

Open house note: Noblesville High School will host its annual open house from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 18 at the main and freshman campuses. Parents will have the opportunity to visit classrooms and meet the teachers. Teachers who teach at both campuses will be at the freshman campus during the open house, but they will be available there to meet with parents of students in their main campus classes as well.

Parents attending open house at the freshman campus are to enter the building through Gate 1, the main entrance to the building.

He was smooth and sneaky, and he taught me to dance Commentary

By Krista Bocko The music began to play and I stepped out on to the dance floor with Calloway. His first name was John, but he was known simply as Calloway, and it suited him. As a young, new dance teacher I didn’t know what to expect. I immediately realized two things. 1) He was smooth and a good dancer, and 2) he was tricky.

I was intimidated by this man who I would learn had been dancing longer than I’d been alive. I was taller than him by at least half a foot; I think he came up to my chin, an, so, I looked down on his salt and pepper head and smooth, brown, lined face. He asked me once if I’d guess his, and I tentatively guessed, based on his looks and long dance history, 70? He laughed. 84.

And still dancing. Eighty four and, telling me I was pretty, still a flirt.

I have to really focus on following Calloway.

He has his very own, unique style. I’m tense, which doesn’t help, but I can’t relax yet. He’s tricky, remember? Calloway has an easy going manner, as though he’s never fazed on the dance floor off. He weaves me in and out on the crowded floor, and I wonder how he can not only see around me, but how he can execute breaks and turns that are just what’s needed,

without hesitation.

To follow Calloway meant to let go of my pre-conceived notions of how the dance should go. That this step is A, B, and C, followed by that step. Calloway owned the dances; they didn’t own him.

After my first dance with Calloway, I was stunned. I’d expected to be led in a beginner waltz by this slight black man, and ended up thinking there was no way I’d ever be able to dance with him and feel confident in myself.

But each dance with Calloway helped me to become better. I practiced being more relaxed, more yielding. I became less uneasy and less scared, and I began to enjoy the partnership and the dance.

Commentary

By Hannah Davis When Current editor Zach Dunkin recruited me to write a weekly column and prompted me to write about what he and my newspaper adviser at school deemed “teen trends,” I was skeptical.

They suggested writing about jeans and ice cream and cell phone models. But (1), I’m not usually a huge fan of trends, and (2), I’m more likely to dispel a trend than to add to its popularity. But, as one can probably tell fairly easily, this column was only about teen trends occasionally – although I must admit, I enjoyed having an opportunity to write about slushies and pizza.

More often than not, I wrote about personal experiences, the menial things I, and some other kids like me, go through on a daily basis. Usually, the topics were light-hearted enough – getting allergies, finding new TV shows, participat-

8 | August 17, 2010

ing in school clubs – but I didn’t shy away from complaining about the overwhelming workload of applying to colleges, or the seemingly neverending hatred for our president, or the confusing and thoroughly stressful experience of never having quite enough money.

I almost feel like I should apologize to Zach for not following orders. But nevertheless, I don’t feel too guilty. People seem to like what I write.

So, to those who faithfully read my column and give me their feedback every week, thanks for giving a, ahem, darn. To those who know me not by acquaintance, but by words on a page and a single goofy headshot, yet still habitually flip to my column, I owe even greater thanks.

You made an effort to get to know me.

There’s a part of me that won’t miss writing this column every week; I don’t much care for deadlines. But, Zach has encouraged to write from college occasionally, just to keep in touch.

I’ll do my best, and I can assure you, you haven’t heard the last of me.

Tracks and patterns Quilting and miniature railroading a fulfilling crossroads for retired Noblesville couple

By Brenda Alexander Current in Noblesville When a man with a one-track mind sets up house with a certain material girl, sparks can fly.

This can be a good thing, as Warner and Mona Clark’s 46 years of marriage can attest to. But it’s a good idea to find some common ground as well.

You see, Warner Clark is a miniature railroad buff. And Mona is a member of the Material Girls quilting club in Noblesville. Both have won numerous awards with their respective hobbies and have received national attention.

With Noblesville recently being recognized as one of the best places to retire, this couple is not alone. “Retirement has been the most difficult phase in our marriage,” says Warner. Few would argue that adjusting to retirement is a challenge.

But Warner and Mona have come up with an answer regarding how to retain their identities with hobbies that are his, hers, and theirs.

Miniature railway construction and quilting are both space-consuming. So Mona has elevated the art of quilting to the upstairs. And Warner’s model railway has opted for a solid foundation in the basement.

With the upstairs devoted to quilting and the basement to trains, the Clarks meet on common ground on the main floor, which is decorated with a sound mix of Mona’s quilts and Warner’s railroad memorabilia.

According to Warner, it’s an insult to refer to his hobby as a “train set.” Like any married couple, time apart can be a blessing. “I know Mona is mad,” says Warner, “when she tells me to go play with my train set.” This is advice that Warner takes in stride.

Upstairs, Warner has been steadily building the Maumee Basin Line since 2000. It starts at the Continental Depot, travels to Malinta, Turkey Foot Creek, and Gould Curve, and ends at the Toledo depot. He still has, literally, “the wrong side of the tracks” to go. This seedier side will be where the main business of a railway is carried out.

Warner says constructing a real railway cannot be done without overcoming obstacles: steep grades, rocky outthrusts, and rivers. When constructing a miniature railway in your basement, there are parallel obstacles to overcome.

Wallpaper made from actual photographs of a large water tower camouflages the ceiling support column. And Warner has named the building that covers his copier the General Hue Packard Memorial Annex.

www.youarecurrent.com

Warner Clark has been recreating the Maumee Basin Line in miniature form since 2000 in the basement of the Clark home, while his wife Mona has made dozens of quilts, including three which have toured the U.S, upstairs.

Quilt photos by Brenda Alexander and train photos by Rich Bourgerie

A close friend and artist, Rich Bourgerie is Warner’s “age master.” Expertly painted scenes and grasses and trees placed in just the right spot for artistic and utilitarian purposes are his strengths. Wallpaper made from photographs of places like Potters Bridge, Lapel, and the White River provides depth and texture.

In the past 10 years, nearly 2,000 people have toured Warner’s miniature railway. He is loosely affiliated with the National Model Railroad Association and recently had two photos published in its annual calendar.

Upstairs, fabric and sewing machines vie for

space with quilting frames and more fabric.

From these raw materials, Mona has produced three quilts that have toured all over the country with the Hoffman’s Fabrics contest. She has also had some of her quilts displayed at White River Gardens.

Mona does charity outreach through the Linus Project, which provides quilts for kids in the hospital, and she quilts pads for the animal shelter. The Material Girls have also sewn quilts and distributed them directly to the homeless in downtown Indianapolis.

But it’s Mona who found a way to integrate

Current in Noblesville

the two hobbies. She made a traditional quilt symbolizing a railroad roundhouse that now hangs in a cherished spot in Warner’s basement.

For his part, Warner has an entire section devoted to Mona’s three-inch tall alter ego. Following a pattern of incorporating scenes and persons from his own life into the miniature railway, Mona is a lovely blonde who lives next door to Warner’s alter ego – Waldo, a pot-bellied and rather bedraggled bum.

Some days, Warner spends 8-9 hours working on his railroad. Mona does likewise. It seems the Clarks’ answer to retirement is never to retire.

Before vaccinating daughter for HPV, consider the facts HEALTH

By Carol Rossetti, N.D. I received a call from a client a few days ago regarding back-to-school physicals and vaccines.

A nurse in the medical office she was visiting seemed to be confused about the differences between genital herpes and HPV. While they are both viruses, they are not the same.

Gardasil is the vaccine that is being pushed with unrelenting enthusiasm on young girls.

Let’s get real about this vaccine. First of all, it does not prevent all forms of HPV and maybe none at all. Second, it has undergone very little testing, which means we will be affecting the reproductive ability of an entire generation of young women.

This vaccine has been directly linked to infertility in mice. Even more disturbing, the death rate for cervical cancer is on a par with the death rates from Gardasil, according to an article in the “Journal of the American Medical Association.

Girls have developed neuromuscular disorders similar to ALS and other painful muscular disorders. Personally, I have a friend whose daughter fainted on the exam table, fell off hitting her

chin, breaking her jaw and knocking out several teeth — all at 15 years old.

In my opinion, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved this drug without sufficient testing. “Cancer Monthly” looked at the research and found out it was approved after being used on precancerous legions, not actually cervical cancer. Even the FDA admits that HPV alone is not responsible for cervical cancer because relatively few women with HPV actually get cervical cancer.

Before you start injecting your young daughter with what could be life-altering, find outmore and make an informed decision. Do not let someone intimidate you into choosing something before you are comfortable with your decision. Also, ask your daughter and give her all the details. It is her body and her future at stake.

Whole-food sourced vitamins – Providing what nature intended NUTRITION

By Laura Marenco We can find many things today made to synthetically recreate nature. Fabrics, wood-like floors (not made of wood) and even plastic or silk plants that fool the eye. But when it comes to nutrition, should we try to recreate nature or get nutrients derived from whole-food sources?

Including a multivitamin in your diet can be a great way to make sure you have all the foundational nutrients needed every day. Let’s face it; most of us don’t regularly eat the variety of food sources necessary to get the optimal levels of nutrients. But there are two choices: wholefood source vitamins or vitamins synthetically sourced in a lab.

Synthetic vitamins are designed to imitate the vitamins we get from whole food. These vitamins meet the molecular structure requirements, but they are not in the same complex forms found in nature. Compared to food, they are like “homeless” chemical isolates.

Whole-food sourced vitamins are derived from plant-life sources. The major difference is that you don’t just get the chemical form, but a whole-food complex of the vitamins, minerals and herbs that contain all of the plants’ active, natural biochemistries. It takes more effort to

10 | August 17, 2010

make a multi-vitamin this way, but it’s about providing nutrients that are in the forms found in food.

Whole-food sourced vitamins are more effective, as the vitamins are in whole-food complexes and retain many of the beneficial compounds in food. Some of those beneficial compounds are the phytonutrients retained from the fruit and vegetable sources, which are antioxidants that slow down the process of cell and tissue damage.

For example, Vitamin C in a whole-food complex is more useful to the body then the ascorbic acid found in a synthetic vitamin. Your body just won’t fully recognize and absorb all of the synthetic Vitamin C. All those milligrams listed on the label may be just passing right through.

You may have to ask yourself, “Am I getting real nutrients, or just a synthetic pretender?”

Your body knows the difference.

Tart, green apples make apple tarts, well, more tart!

RECIPES

By Molly Herner Here is a great dessert to end a summer meal. This delicious recipe is simple and really easy to make. A basic short-bread crust and any kind of apple you like make this apple tart basic in structure but classic in taste.

I like to use a tart green apple.

They sweeten when baked, but still retain their pure apple taste.

Scoop some ice cream over the tarts while they are still warm from the oven and enjoy.

mini apple tarts Ingredients • 3 tart green apples • 1/2 teaspoon of all-spice • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 1/2 cup sugar (1/2 cup for apples and 1 cup for crust) • 2 sticks butter • 2 cups flour • Pinch of salt • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions Crust 1. In a mixing bowl add 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 sticks butter a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

2. Mix thoroughly until the dough is combined and comes away from the sides of the bowl.

3. Refrigerate the dough for an hour before using it.

4. Thinly slice the apples and put them in a bowl with a bit of lemon juice so they don’t oxidize and turn brown.

5. Add 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon and all-spice and toss the apple slices until coated.

6. Let this mixture sit at room temperature for a bit and a nice sugary syrup will collect at the bottom of the bowl.

7. Spray small tart dishes with cooking spray or butter and flour them.

8. When the dough is chilled, line the bottom of the tart dishes with the dough and arrange the apples atop the dough.

9. Spoon a bit of the syrup from the apples over each tart and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown.

DVDs

By Chris Lloyd We're in a dry spell for new video releases, so I'm using this week's column to discuss the future of home video.

A lot of very smart people think the video market is moving away from a physical object you keep on a bookshelf and insert into a player – aka DVD or Blu-ray discs – and toward all-digital libraries you store on a hard drive or stream whenever you want.

While there's no doubt hand-held devices like smart phones, iPods and iPads are a great match with downloaded movies, for the home theater aficionado who wants the biggest and best picture possible, discs still have the upper hand.

In order to squeeze file sizes down so they don't take a day and a half to download or stream, a movie's image suffers tremendously.

A film that looks great on a four-inch iPhone would look horrendous on a 50-inch LCD. Personally, I'd rather pay $15 or $20 for a disc that looks great and is hard to destroy, ver-

Like a Rolling Stone? Yes, they are

By Zach Dunkin Current in Noblesville Ed Bloom makes it clear from the start of the conversation: He is no Mick Jagger. Nor does he pretend to be.

But as lead singer for the Rolling Stones tribute band Hot Rocks, he replicates the essential Mick-isms – you know, the strut, the pouty lips, the rooster move, the finger-pointing and the hands on hips – and sings like Jagger good enough to pass as a worthy imitation.

“I can move pretty much like he can, and like Mick, I’m in pretty good health and have a pretty good energy level. Mick's like a cheerleader and gets the crowd excited. That's what I do," says Bloom, calling from his home in Chicago.

"But there's only one Mick Jagger. This is just an act."

It’s an act that will be a part of Tribute Town, a new event Aug. 19 at the Indiana State Fair.

The free, 5 p.m. concert in the Hoosier Lottery Grandstands features three tribute bands replicating the look and sound of the Stones, the Eagles and John Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

As ticket prices rise and rock bands age or disappear, the tribute band industry has flourished.

In fact, Rolling Stone magazine recently listed tribute bands as one of the top 40 reasons to be excited about music today, noting that some of

Bloom studied Jagger videos to capture his moves “One of the hardest things to learn was the way he walks,” said Ed Bloom, who does not attempt Mick Jagger’s accent in his role as Jagger in Hot Rocks. “He walks ‘toe-forward.’ Most people don’t walk that way; they walk heel first.”

Hot Licks will perform at 7 p.m., following the opening set by Blue Moon Swamp, featuring Dan McGuinness as John Fogerty. 7 Bridges closes the show at 9 p.m. with songs by the Eagles as a group and Don Henley and Joe Walsh as solo acts. The show is free with a paid admission to the State Fair.

Fans still want to listen the music, which is disappearing from radio station formats and music venues.

“The Stones have a large audience and a lot of devotees, and they want to hear their music,” said Bloom. “They don’t come around that often, so the fans have an appetite for it.

What I realized from bacon COMMENTARY

By David Cain On a salad, on a sandwich, on the go, or simply solo, bacon makes things sing. For me, bacon seems to bring out the best. I take a bite, my eyebrows rise, and my disposition lightens.

I was enjoying a salad today. It was red with the juice of beets, my least favorite food. As I stared blindly at this sea of red, I could hardly take a bite. Then, like I was starring in a sitcom, sweet music played in my head as the bacon in my bowl divinely lit up. I dug in and learned that bacon even makes beets taste good.

I decided promptly that the often-overlooked meat from our friend the pig deserves more recognition. For example, did you know bacon could be a leading indicator of other traits? You can learn a lot from bacon. How you prefer it speaks volumes about you.

Do you spend your time hating bacon? Do you take it extra crispy? Do you like it lean and wet? Are you into bacon faking, like turkey bacon? Your preference can provide some insights. My multi-household research suggests that those who prefer it extra crispy are also sometimes a bit extra crispy themselves. They’re wound a bit tight. The lean-and-wet preference suggests you are more relaxed. The fake bacon lovers, well, you know the answer there.

Aside from the delicious taste and the fact that your bacon preference can provide as much insight

into your personality as a palm reader, the focused groups that exist and are devoted to bacon is astounding. Search “bacon” or any related terms and a barnyard full of results displays that could occupy your next three hours. There are bacon camps, books on bacon, bacon songs, clothes made out of bacon, and tons of groups or clubs with various missions that serve bacon’s best interest. The groups are multinational. And there’s even bacon swimwear and lingerie for the ultra-committed (or those that should be committed). Imagine a bacon bikini – it’s out there – on a hot beach.

Bacon does provide a good example of niche interests. With the Internet, these niche groups develop and flourish. Where else can you find bacon enthusiasts? There are no local clubs or groups. However, a quick online search reveals dozens of places for my bacon fetish.

Am I the only one continually surprised by how easy it is today to find others that share any interest I might have? As this online, highly differentiated and extremely fragmented society continues to develop, companies will learn they need to understand niche communications if they want to continue making bacon.

A new type of fitness center has opened in Carmel that gives women a new way to lose weight.

“We’re an upscale personal training studio for women only,” Get in Shape owner David VanWye said. “There’s only one to four women at a time with the personal trainer. This ensures a personal experience. Our sessions last one hour with half of the time being cardio and the other half on weight machines.”

The studio focuses on four main aspects of a workout regimen to help women try and achieve their weight loss goal.

“We target weight training, cardio, nutrition and accountability,” VanWye said. “We really push the accountability factor. We make sure that you are doing what you need to be doing, that’s a big aspect. You have to have that accountability factor in order to succeed and achieve your goal.

“We make a nutrition plan for you as well because that’s another big factor. The nutrition program is online on our website. It’s very involved and very detailed. We work a lot with nutritionists to ensure you’re eating healthy on top of your workouts. We’ll develop meal plans for you.”

The workout is 30 minutes of weight training, 25 minutes of cardio and some nutrition coaching. The sessions are held in smaller groups, allowing patrons to get more one-on-one time with the personal trainer.

The studio has packages that last for three months, six months and one year. These packages are required in order to use the facility.

“We’re not an open gym,” he said. “You have to have an appointment in order to work out with the personal trainer.”

Details are king in a basement remodel COMMENTARY

By Randy Sorrell Details are the components necessary to make your naked basement look and feel like a professionally finished, lower-level extension of the rest of your home. Those smart details will graduate the sterile drywall and can light your desired edgy recreation area and party bar and the insane workout center you have always imagined.

The fantastic news is that the details need not be excessive to cause a dramatic impact. Sometimes simple paint colors can be enough. Let a skillful interior decorator guide that process. Their eye for color and drama far exceeds those of us who are not formally trained, and it will cause you to appreciate the space much more.

Crown molding is another detail and architectural element that will set your project apart from the masses. One strategy is to trim a few select rooms to formalize an area and help build a sense of space. That sense of space is what we crave. It is the ingredient that draws us to the area and other favorite rooms inside and outside the house.

Most lower levels are haphazardly interrupted throughout with steel poles that perform a very important function. When these unsightly support structures are wrapped with drywall and dressed up with appropriate molding or another architectural feature repeated in the upper story,

It’s the crocus with the mostest GARDENING

By Holly Linz Can it be…crocus in the fall? It just might be a gardener’s dream come true.

Each year crocus kicks off spring with its cheery blooms and bright colors, bravely poking up through the frost. Never fearing “Jack” and his chilly antics, crocus is a welcome sight after a long, miserable winter.

Fast forward, if you will, to September when mums and pansies rule the scene. So, who should unexpectedly pop up to bid farewell to the season?

You guessed it, our familiar friend, crocus.

Autumn flowering crocus, of which there are many species, is a kissing cousin of the more familiar, spring-flowering types. One particular species, crocus sativus, is grown for the popular cooking spice saffron, which is harvested from its unique style in the center of flower. It can take up to 70,000 plants to produce just one pound which probably accounts for saffron’s steep price tag.

But crocus grown in your own garden need not be deemed a cash crop. These graceful flowers are at home in any style garden, be it English or cottage, heirloom or exotic. Varying in color from lilac to pink or white, this hardy bulb is technically a corm, and a tiny one at that. In late summer or early fall, the corms send up squatty, cup shaped flowers that are best displayed in clusters of three to five, at least, at the

front of the border in full sun or partial shade.

Easily cultivated, this ambitious little guy will bloom from a corm sitting right on your kitchen counter, without so much as a drop of soil or water. No need to dig up the hardy little corms, unless you want to divide them to share with your friends. Like all bulb structures, autumn flowering crocus will appreciate a sprinkling of bone meal in the fall and again in the spring and all plants love a top-dressing of compost.

Southern Oregon University student Brittany Spady rolled her Ford Explorer after her long-haired tortoiseshell cat crawled between the brake and gas pedals. Spady, who said her cat refuses to ride in a carrier, took her eyes off the road to try and stop the cat. The cat bolted, vanishing into nearby forest.

Mosquitoes can be deadly to pets Pets

By Rebecca Stevens Most pet owners have heard of heartworm disease, but what many don’t realize is that the cause of heartworm disease starts with a simple mosquito bite. Heartworm disease is more prevalent in dogs than cats, but both can contract the disease.

It’s a painful and deadly disease that can be completely avoided with monthly heartworm preventative. If your pet is not currently on a preventative, please make an appointment with your veterinarian so your pet can be tested for the disease. It is important to ensure an animal doesn’t currently have the disease before a preventative is started.

Transmission: The disease is not directly transmitted from dog to dog, cat to cat or to humans. Heartworms can only be transmitted from animal to animal by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected animal, young heartworms called microfilariae enter into that mosquito’s system. Within two weeks, the microfilariae develop into infective larvae inside the mosquito, and these infective larvae can be transmitted to another animal when this mosquito takes its next blood meal.

Heartworm Disease: The infective larvae mature into adult heartworms in approximately six months. The worms damage the blood vessels, and reduce the heart’s pumping ability, resulting in severe lung and heart disease, and eventually death. Heartworm disease is treatable, but expensive. Once treated, animals typically have a full recovery from the disease, but they continue to be susceptible

Current in Noblesville

unless a monthly heartworm preventative is given.

Prevention: The cost to prevent heartworm is much more affordable than treating the disease, not to mention the best thing for your pet.

Heartworm preventatives may be purchased from your veterinarian or variety of other sources and should be given to your cats and dogs monthly.

Reader seeks details on uncle’s life on the run in Germany Geneaolgy

By Darla Kinney Scoles A reader writes: “Fifty years ago my uncle died tragically at 37 in an auto accident. My mom tells of him being a paratrooper dropped in Germany and spending a great deal of time hiding from the Germans. Is there a web site where I could gain additional information regarding this time in his life?”

Nancy Massey, from the Indiana Room at the Hamilton East Public Library, offers this advice: • First, seek his military service records from St. Louis at http://www.archives.gov/stlouis/military-personnel/. That could provide clues and date details to lead to more information, such as the unit in which he served.

• If you know the unit in which he served, do a Google search for a history on that unit which could lead to a message board useful in providing information such as missing air crew reports.

• Check Footnote.com for missing air crew reports as well as other military records and

www.youarecurrent.com

Ancestry.com for WWII enlistment records.

• If the area of Germany where the solder jumped and hid is known, research that area›s history as it was in the time period in question. Researching information about paratroopers, in general, might provide clues, too.

• If the soldier was part of the U.S. Army Air Force, visit http://www.armyairforces.com, a site dedicated to U. S. Army Air Forces in World War II which has searchable databases, forums and a “research help” section with links to other sites and databases.

One of their suggestions is to research the hometown newspapers of the area where the veteran lived.

But the other day was different. I was finishing a right turn off of 146th street when a very large truck made a left turn into me… or very nearly so. I swerved and honked; his breaks squealed as he pointed his truck into oncoming traffic.

I exhaled loudly, but managed not to actually cuss – which isn’t very like me. Since there was no harm, and no foul language, I continued on toward the dry cleaner, which had been my intended destination.

Still, I paused to consider how mundane my obituary would have read: she was taken to the

Current in Noblesville

cleaners on the way to the cleaners. Yes, this is how my mind works.

It wasn’t until I got out of my minivan that I realized the very large truck had followed me. A moment of uncertainty was washed away when I saw the driver’s winning smile.

Then he said, “Excuse me. I just wanted to apologize. That was completely my fault.”

I was a bit stunned. Road rage is not rare, but apologies are. It isn’t as if I’ve never been the almost- perpetrator of a near tragedy. It isn’t as if I’ve never wanted to apologize before.

It’s just that fear of the other’s reaction has stopped me.

I’m just glad this man didn’t worry about that. Then again, I drive a minivan and he drives a huge truck. Who would be afraid of me?

Building value into home improvement Top 5 Home Renovation Returns (%of project cost)

COMMENTARY

By David Decker Here are three very common home improvement questions: What do I want? What can I afford? What is the added financial value to my home?

What we want and what we can afford are almost always solely personal matters.

The financial value that an improvement adds, however, is based on comparisons with other homes and appraisal factors, such as the condition of the area’s economy, the overall condition of the home, the overall condition of surrounding homes, and the availability of homes in the area.

Several charts and online tools are available to help homeowners sort out the financial impact of home improvements in a very general way. (Google “Home improvement cost value.”) Local real estate and home improvement professionals however can offer much more specific information.

In my own experience, although estimates can be helpful, it’s very unusual to be able to trace specific dollar values from a unique home improvement to a home appraisal to a home sale.

But it does happen.

For example, earlier this year we renovated a kitchen, master

bath and half-bath (total cost $45,000) in a home just previously appraised at $300,000. The home was on the market, off the market after the renovation, then back on the market, and ultimately sold in a week for $380,000.

Truly, that’s unusual. Normally you can’t trace it that directly, and it’s even rarer for a renovation to return more than 100 percent of its cost. Typically, a major kitchen or bathroom project will return roughly 85 percent of its cost.

Money, of course, is just one component of value and often takes a back seat to livability. But enhancing the convenience, comfort and usage of your home for you and your family is priceless.

After sporting beach waves this summer, straighten out with a stylish and sleek ‘do. Part hair down the middle and work a styling crème, such as Salon 01’s “Straight & Smooth”, through damp hair.

Blow dry straight and part down the side or middle. If necessary, go over faceframing pieces with a straightening iron.
