Take a ride to the pumpkin patch

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

You could drive down the block to the local supermarket and pick out a pumpkin from a large bin, or you could board the train at Noblesville’s Forest Park and ride historic passenger cars through Hamilton County’s fall countryside, see farm animals and pick your own pumpkin from a local farm field.

The Indiana Transportation Museum’s “Pumpkin Train” is partnering with Beck’s Hybrids and the Hamilton Heights High School FFA chapter to create this unique experience. ITM volunteer Ralph Bell said this is the fifth year the museum has partnered with the FFA for the event.

“We look for relationships anywhere we can find them,” he said.

In addition to selling pumpkins, the FFA students provide a small hay bale maze for the littlest children and games of skill for the older ones. Often a brief hayride travels around the patch and older farm equipment is on display. Lunch items are available in the tent. Only your pumpkin and food items have costs – everything else is free. The FFA students can only accept cash at the pumpkin patch.

ties up there,” Bell said.

Bell said travel time between the museum in Noblesville’s Forest Park and the pumpkin patch is approximately 20 minutes each way. Visitors will remain at the patch for about one hour before the return trip to Forest Park.

“Total length of the trip will be about 1 hour and 40 minutes,” Bell said.

The Pumpkin Train runs 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Saturday and 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Roundtrip cost is $12

for adults, $8 for children ages 2-12 and no charge for children under the age of 2 riding on the lap of a paying passenger.

Interested in riding the train? Bell advises the public to make a reservation by calling the ITM office Monday to Wednesday.

Tickets can also be ordered online; however, a $2 surcharge is added according to Bell.

Whatever open seats remain will be open to the public on the weekends.

Canines, inmates gain from charity dog wash

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A little soap, water and nail clipping can go a long way. On Oct. 13 and 14, more than 100 volunteers from Northview Church in Carmel washed dogs at Pet Supplies “Plus” locations in Noblesville and Broad Ripple. In return, the store donated 100 percent of the proceeds to the Prison Greyhounds program, which will enable the charity to continue its rescue program that gives a second chance to both animals and humans.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Prison Greyhounds is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that rescues greyhounds from Daytona, Fla. in the prime of their lives and matches them with specially selected inmates in Indiana prisons. The dogs are fostered, trained, socialized, loved and then adopted to homes within the community.

Mary Louden, president of Prison Greyhounds, and her husband, Jeff, volunteer weekly to coach the dog handlers at Putnamville Correctional Facility in Greencastle. Louden said many non-violent inmates seek companionship and an opportunity to rehabilitate themselves and seek transferable life skills.

“The men who work with these animals are challenged to expand their skill sets in ways other programs cannot. When they care for the animals and work with them on a constant basis, they gain valuable work and life skills that go beyond prison walls,” she said. “When a racing greyhound is retired from the track, they have no concept of the outside world. This can make

them less desirable for adoption. Training and acclimating the greyhound increases the likelihood that he will stay in his new home, once placed.”

Louden said inmate-handlers will gain job skills, teamwork experience and a valuable opportunity to make amends while exploring a better way of living. A team of twoprisoners-per-dog will train the greyhounds for life outside of a racing kennel by providing 24-hour care for the animals in a special dorm.

Putnamville Correctional Facility officials said the dogs provide a calming effect on the prison population.

“Prison Greyhounds provides curriculum, volunteers to coach the inmates, and all necessary supplies,” said Louden. “They find responsible families that will adopt the greyhounds upon graduation. The inmate-handlers then receive a new former racer to repeat the process.”

Since the start of the program in March, there have already been two “graduating classes” of retired racers. In the coming year, the program will find forever homes for at least 16 racetrack dogs.

“A family adopting a greyhound will immediately benefit by adopting a dog that is already used to house rules. Things like stairs, glass doors, smooth floors, ringing bells and living with people instead of hundreds of dogs can be challenges for a retired racer,” said Louden. “Training enables these gentle dogs to be adopted more easily into a forever home, which is a successful and rewarding prospect for all involved.”

Kitchen fire causes $70k in damages

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A fire in the kitchen of a home near downtown Noblesville has caused approximately $70,000 in damages to the structure and its contents.

At approximately 6:09 p.m. Oct. 15, the Noblesville Fire Dept. was dispatched to 1341 Monument St. Division Chief Rick Russell said upon arrival at 6:12 p.m., fire suppression crews noted smoke coming from the entire structure.

Firefighters quickly made an interior attack on the fire, and had it under control at 6:22 p.m.

“During the suppression efforts, interior fire crews rescued the family dog,” Russell said, adding that the canine is doing fine.

The home is owned by Brian Kwiatsowski; however, it is occupied by Dale and Stephanie Porch and their two children. Russell said Dale and the

two children were home at the time of the fire.

“Dale states that he started dinner a few minutes before his children discovered the fire,” said Russell, who said the fire originated in the kitchen. “Dale further stated that he could not get to the kitchen to fight the fire because the fire was too large. Dale quickly grabs up his two children and exited out the back door.”

There are no injuries or deaths associated with the incident. Russell said the Hamilton County Chapter of the American Red Cross is assisting the Porch family.

“The Noblesville Fire Dept. would like to remind everyone to install smoke alarms to provide early warning if fire strike,” he said. “Have an escape plan with two ways outs of every room, and be sure to practice that plan with everyone that lives in the home.”

Photo finish too close to call – It took more than an hour to determine a three-way photo finish in the girls’ race at the Brebeuf Jesuit cross country regional Oct. 13. Noblesville High School senior Kendra Foley, Cathedral senior Emma MacAnally and Hamilton Southeastern’s Rachel Nichwitz race to the finish line was so close officials had to review the videotape. MacAnally and Nichwitz posted identical times of 18 minutes, 19.5 seconds, and Foley finished at 18.19.6 on the 5,000-meter course. Foley and Nichwitz led from the start until MacAnally rushed ahead with approximately 200 meters left. Nichwitz and Foley closed the gap, and all three stretched at the finish line. Foley is one of the most talented runners in Indiana, demonstrated by the three individual medals that she has earned over the past three years of cross country at the state meet – 13th in 2009 (19:52), 15th in 2010 (18:49) and eighth last year NHS senior Kendra Foley (Photo pro(18:36).

Cover Story Survey Results

Noblesville schools exploring traditional and changed calendar options

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools’ parents may need to prepare for shorter summers. Based on a community survey conducted by the district, respondents preferred a balanced calendar 2:1 compared to the traditional calendar used currently.

At tonight’s board meeting, the committee will recommend the calendar change to the board, which has the option of adopting the calendar, tabling its decision or asking the committee to present a traditional calendar instead.

The results of the survey, which included 3,686 participants, were presented during a public forum on Oct. 15.

“It’s a big enough sample,” said Assistant Supt. Steven Stephanoff. “Thirty-five hundred is a pretty good number. We did not anticipate that many.”

In the first six hours the survey Stephanoff was available, Stephanoff said between 1,200 to 1,600 responses were made. Some parents questioned the data presented because no measures were in place for a day or two to prevent someone from taking the survey multiple times from the same computer, which was reported to school officials. Sharon Trisler, Noblesville Schools public relations director and study committee member, said the survey was not intended to be scientific but gauge the community’s interest. She added that the multiple responses from the same IP address could be removed from the findings but did not anticipate that it would significantly affect the survey results.

“It still gives a good cross section, a good look at what people in the community are saying,” Trisler said.

Stephanoff headed the 20-member study committee comprised of parents, teachers, school administrators and a high school student, which was formed after a community survey found support for investigating a move to a balanced calendar.

“We are responding to our community in 2010 that said it wanted us to consider this,” Supt. Lib-

Balanced calendar?

Hinkle Creek Elementary Principal Jack Lawrence explained that the 180-day school year would be spread over 10 months instead of nine and a half months. Summer break would decrease to eight weeks instead of 10 and ensured Lawrence the first semester would end before winter break. The calendar would include two-week breaks in the fall, winter and spring. “The two-week breaks would closely coincide with the end of grading periods,” he said. “The school calendar is generally between Aug. 1 and June 1.” bie Conner said.

The committee said balanced calendar advantages include reductions in summer learning loss, less remediation, improved attendance, increased opportunities Conner for student internships, reduction in the number of student referrals for behavior, student and staff rejuvenation, offpeak travel times for families, ease in scheduling medical appointments and no significant change in energy costs.

“Students and staff coming back relaxed and refreshed is the bigger issue,” she said.

The committee conducted research online on the subject, but it did not provide specific examples or data to back up its points at the forum (audience members were told links to studies would be available on the district website).

Instead, members cited interviews with staff members from Central Indiana school districts that have moved to balanced calendars, including Warren Township, Avon and Brownsburg.

“More people (at Central Indiana schools) said we are doing different things but can’t say it’s just because of the balanced calendar,” said Stephanoff. “They did say it didn’t hurt.”

Staci Scott-Stewart, a second-grade teacher at North Elementary, said most of the research to back academic improvements was found for year-

Laura and Jim Paris recently moved to Noblesville from Chicago because of the school system. The Parises said a third of the Chicago schools use a balanced calendar.

Laura said the balanced calendar is a trigger word because everyone wants a balanced life, balanced checkbook, etc.

“I don’t think they gave us anything to sell us on it,” Laura said following the 90-minute presentation. “We’ve done a lot of research and we’re not impressed.”

“Personally, I don’t want my child to be a guinea pig.

round calendars. The shortened summer schedule of just two weeks is a recent trend in education and is still being.

“There was not a lot of research to say it definitely helps,” she said.

Challenges of the change include difficulty adjusting to the new schedule in the first year; less time for major construction, renovation projects and custodial cleaning; and schedule adjustments for summer school and athletics.

“Summer school would be an issue,” said Eric Gundersen, high school teacher and study committee member. “It would look and operate different than in the past.”

Residents who opposed the balanced calendar said it would conflict with extracurricular activities and end-of-summer events including camps, scouting, summer vacations and State Fair participation for 4-H’ers and the annual Band Day contest.

Carol Schmidt has a junior son who is worried his senior year will be “messed up” if the switch is made. Schmidt said her sons show animals from July 31 to Aug. 6 and Aug. 8 to 13 at the State Fair “It’s going to be very difficult,” she said. “He’s an AP/honor student, and if you miss class time, it’s hard to make up. He’s torn because grades are important on a college resume, but he wants to be a veterinarian and showing animals is important, too.”

Conner said the district and school board would need to revise the attendance policy if the balanced calendar is approved for State Fair participation.

School Board President Jane Barr said the research cannot pinpoint the exact factor a calendar change can make because of the variables.

“We’ll pursue something that might impact our students – that Barr gives the ability to improve attendance and test scores,” she said. “Not one member of the board takes it lightly. We really study it. You think about it all night – is this the best decision for our students?”

No matter which calendar the district uses, students will receive 180 days of instruction and funding is not affected. Brownsburg and Avon actually received additional funding for remediation by switching to the balanced calendar.

added Jim. “Not with my kid. I’ll be moving to Zionsville.”

During their research, the Parises found that balanced calendars do not impact middle-class families that provide enrichments and non-traditional educational opportunities during the summer break. Stephanoff agreed that the research showed that English as a Second Language and disadvantaged students are better served with less time off during the summer.

“The shorter the summer break, the better they did in school,” he said.

What calendar is best for your family?

• 66.3 percent (2,358) voted for the balanced calendar; 33.7 percent (1,199) voted the traditional calendar as better.

• More than half (1,851, 52.8 percent) said it was not important for Noblesville Schools to align one of its two weeks for spring break with other Hamilton County school districts.

• If Noblesville School adopts a balanced calendar, 80.8 percent (2,767) had no preference for when fall break occurs. Of those that had a preference, 53.2 percent (1,820) favored one week in October and one week for Thanksgiving. The second choice was the last two weeks of October (1,091, 31.9 percent) narrowly over the middle two weeks of October (1,045, 30.6 percent).

• In a similar question on spring break, only 17.5 percent (609) had no preference. Only 86 votes separated the choices – 1,475 (42.5 percent) for the first two weeks in April over the last week of March and the first week of April (1,389, 40 percent).

Who responded?

• Most respondents have lived in Noblesville for a shorter period of time. Only 29.3 percent have lived in the township for 16 or more years.

The highest number of participants, 27 percent, has been living here for six to 10 years.

• Three quarters of respondents were between the ages of 31 and 50 – 37.8 percent (1,393) from ages 31 and 40 and 37.3 percent (1,374) from 41 and 50.

• Seventy-eight percent currently have children attending Noblesville Schools.

• Three quarters of respondents (2,743) do not have preschool children 4 years or younger.

• The survey included 104 current students (3.1 percent) an teachers counted for 15 percent (547).

The Parises said one factor they oppose with the balanced calendar is the additional time off during fall and spring breaks taken away from the summer when the family vacations to a farm in Illinois.

“What am I supposed to do in October and March when it’s cold and chilly? In August my kids will be in school when they should be outside playing,” Laura said.

“They learn all kinds of skills they can’t learn in schools,” added Jim. “I don’t see a huge benefit in this community.” www.currentnoblesville.com

Opinion On plans, facts and a serious plea

Green Halloween It is our position that the ritual of trickor-treating on Halloween night is transforming. It seems evenings of canvassing the neighborhood for hours with the goal of filling pillowcases full of candy treasures is slowly coming to an end. These days, the First Lady’s Healthy Food Initiative coupled with a growing number of children with food allergies has jump-started a new healthy Halloween ritual known as Green Halloween. Organic agave sticks, dried veggie chips, grass chocolate and herbal tea bags are taking favor over milk chocolate, taffy, lollipops, and pixie sticks in the candy dishes of those who are concerned about healthy eating habits.

Once upon a time, the “toothbrush” house risked being the target of an old-fashioned toilet-papering or egg throwing. Now, the carrot house is considered the “cool” house. Somehow the vision of children spreading out their stashes of green goodies to trade a temporary tattoo for a granola bar doesn’t quite compare to the throw-back image of sugar-buzzed kids trading twenty pieces of bite-sized candy for a full-sized chocolate bar.

Whether the Green Halloween trend is a trick or a treat, one thing we can all agree on is the safety of our youngsters on Halloween night.

Terminal patience

Commentary by Terry Anker

Indianapolis needs its own airline. Certainly, the new airport is beautiful. It makes the travel experience better in almost every way.

But could we have spent the billion or so dollars needed to construct the new edifice to buy our own carrier replete with an abundance of direct flights? On a day when I didn’t need to leave the house before 4:30 a.m. to make an astonishingly early first leg of a flight to Boston, I might be more reasonable in my assessment of our local travel options. Certainly, those who are dedicated to such matters work hard to give us as much choice as possible and make Indy an attractive alternative to airlines both major and minor. Yet sitting in a filthy and over-used hub waiting for yet again another connection, one is justified in expressing frustration. With each point on the map, the chance of lost luggage, missed connection and weather delay increases. But, we can take stock that our mileage reward miles rack-up faster when our flight home from DC stops

off in Cleveland.

I might appreciate the found time to work on a column, clean-up e-mail or explore the newsstand; but in a crowded and odiferous terminal, one’s mind wanders. It might be noted that in the dizzying array of magazines for sale, two tout covers featuring the Obamas with none of the Romneys (incidentally, USA Today’s online version’s headline page uses the name 11 times versus two for his challenger).

It becomes apparent that food knows few boundaries regarding whether pizza, popcorn or Italian beef sandwiches are a good choice at 6 a.m. But mostly, I note the long lines of folks already in transit awaiting attention from the beleaguered barista. I am holding out for lobster in the Boston hub – if I ever get there!

We caught up with one of our friends, one among the ink-stained set, from New York. He had, to us, an interesting take that you and we probably never will see in the liberal, mainstream media. Listen up: “President Barack Obama said (last Tuesday night) that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's five-point plan really is a ‘one-point plan,’ and that Romney's economic plan was ‘a sketchy deal’ that Americans should reject. That was actually quite brilliant of the president, because this is what people do: go on the attack, when they have no freaking plan themselves. The next time I hear about Obama's agenda for the next four years will be the first time. Criticize Romney's plan all you want, but at least he has a plan. It's very clear now that the president simply is hoping to ride the wave of loyal liberals, and his charisma, into an election victory Nov. 6 with no clear plan whatsoever.”

Some will dismiss this as a far-right rant. What’s your call? Tell us at info@youarecurrent.com. …

We believe the curtains will come down on the respective campaigns just as they should not – and that’s with each candidate blatantly pandering to groups he covets. We’re begging for pure facts and detail here, and we don’t believe we’re getting that from these candidates. … Let us state it once more with feeling: We need a serious, independent third party in the worst way. … We find it off-putting that Sen. Richard Lugar refuses to campaign for U.S. Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, given that Lugar was enriched professionally and financially during his long and – many would say – distinguished career. With the control of the Senate so important to the Republican party, how could Lugar turn his back on the party? It just reinforces that we did the right thing in voting against him in the primary.

School board is open and transparent Editor, I wish to clarify the inaccuracies that were contained in a letter to the editor written by Mike Berglund that you recently published. As the Superintendent of Noblesville Schools, I am puzzled by the perception that the Noblesville Board of School Trustees has not been open and transparent to the public, especially as it relates to their adoption of goals and a strategic plan.

The Noblesville Board of School Trustees is open and transparent and complies with the Open Door and Public Access laws of the State of Indiana. Recently, the board held its annual board “retreat,” to which Mr. Berglund referred.

The retreat took place in the board’s normal meeting place, and ike all board meetings except for executive sessions, was open to the public, and it was properly advertised.

The board discussed the school district’s strategic plan at the retreat, but this was not the first time that potential components of the plan were presented to the public. In fact, here are the steps the board has taken in the past several months to create the new strategic plan.

• Fall/winter 2011-12 - Facility study of the east middle school and the freshman campus for feasibility of future remodel/repair/retrofit • March 6 – Special Public Board Meeting Presentation by the high school principal on the future direction of high school programming to include stronger career readiness.

• April and May - Public forums to present information on growth needs, costs, tax impact, and pros and cons of one high school vs. two; programmatic needs for the high school; facility needs of the East Middle School, transportation center and central office.

• Late April - Newsletter mailed to all Noblesville Township residents publishing the information above and access to a survey on those topics.

• April 20-May 10 – Survey open to all residents of the community on one high school or two based on the information published in the brochure and shared in the forums.

• May 15 – Regular Public Board MeetingPresentation of the survey results and results posted on the website.

• July 26 - Special Public Board Meeting -

Presentation on potential timelines for possible additions/renovations to the NHS Main Campus and Freshman Campus, the relocation of the transportation center and the central office, and the driving forces behind the recommendations as referenced in the April and May meetings and the mailed brochure.

• Aug. 21 – Regular Public Board Meeting Presentation by Ivy Tech personnel on program offerings to enhance the academic/career readiness opportunities for NHS students.

• Sept. 7 – Special Board Meeting (retreat) to review the 2011-12 goals and the 2006-11 Strategic Plan based on all of the information gained since the winter of 2012 from facility studies, growth, community survey, programmatic needs, Ivy Tech opportunities, etc. The 2012-13 goals and 2012-2020 strategic plan were drafted.

• Sept. 10 – Community Advisory Council meeting – Drafts of the goals and strategic plan shared with the members (parents- including Mr. Berglund- teachers, students, administrators, and community patrons).

• Sept.18 – Regular Public Board MeetingBoard adopted 2012-13 goals and 2012-20 Strategic Plan with minimal changes to the drafts. The 2012-13 Goals and the 2012-2020 Strategic Plan were posted on the school district website for public view.

I want to emphasize that the school board meets in open session on all issues with the exception of those that qualify under Indiana Code 5-14-1.5-6.1 for executive sessions. All board meetings, public and executive, are properly advertised. The one exception mentioned in Mr. Berglund’s letter was an executive session on Dec.11, 2011 in which we specified the time as “immediately following the regular meeting” as opposed to a specific time since we never know the exact time that a regular meeting might be finished. The public is always welcome to attend our meetings. The minutes of all meetings and the latest information concerning our schools and the district are available on our website, www.noblesvilleschools.org. We encourage you to connect with us!

Trouble with toddlers

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Just as I was wondering what to write about this week, Fate snickered and sent me a 2-year old. Now I’m trying to figure out how I can possibly cram all of this toddler fodder into one column. Here’s my best shot.

When my brother-in-law and his wife had their third baby during the weekend, my husband and I offered to watch their older girls while they were at the hospital. Their kindergartner I can handle, but the shorter one, hereafter referred to as the LydieMonster (LM), apparently not so much.

Our first evening together went quite well actually. The LM was so tired from being in a strange house with strange people that she fell asleep almost immediately. And because I don’t own bottles anymore (yay!) and the LM wouldn’t drink from a cup, she was too dehydrated to wet her diaper during the night and slept straight through (double yay!). Doo and I congratulated ourselves on our clearly still well-honed parenting skills and happily sent our nieces back to their father.

That afternoon brought another babysitting request. Doo had plans to hang with another brother, so it was just me with my precious little relatives. To kill time, I got crafty and broke out the paint. Sweet mercy, two seconds, two seconds I turned my back and suddenly the LM was covered in purple and brown water color.

No worries, I told myself, it’s washable, so I

cleaned her up and sent her off while I Cloroxed the previously white counter. Moments later a crash had me sprinting to the office, where I found the LM surrounded by trash and chewing something in utter delight. Kleenex? A discarded apple core? Nope, it was gum, hopefully Orbitz but quite possibly Nicorette. Just to be sure, I watched her like a hawk for the rest of the evening and fortunately observed no unusual agitation or bowel movements.

A third visit was equally exciting. After tracking the LM down in an upstairs bathroom where she had clambered onto the sink and chugged an ounce of Soft Soap, Doo decided coloring would be a safe bet. I concurred. Non-toxic crayons, paper, what could go wrong? But when I peered into the kitchen after an unusually quiet couple of minutes, I saw the LM drooling a tar-like substance.

Huh? She had bitten the tip off a stray marker and was drinking the black ink as it spilled forth in all its Crayola glory. Lovely, just lovely.

So we did what any self-respecting aunt or uncle would do. Snapped a photo, emailed it to the trusting parents, and called it a day.

Then we thanked baby Jesus that we don’t have 2-year-olds anymore. Peace out.

Carmel native returns home for her first trip to the basement

By Patricia Rettig • editorial@youarecurrent.com Cathedral High School graduate Hillary Smith has enjoyed many roles at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. She’s flown with Peter Pan, sang about her hard knock life with Annie and followed the white rabbit down the hole to Wonderland.

In the four years since she’s stepped onto its stage, she’s earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Florida State University and moved to New York City.

“I can’t express how great it is to be back home in Indianapolis and back home at Beef & Boards,” said Smith. “Beef & Boards will always feel like a second home to me. I have learned so much from fellow actors, directors, crew members and staff members while performing here.”

Now she’s returned to Indiana, for what might be considered the unenviable task of stepping into an iconic series at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre: Church Basement Ladies. On stage now through Nov. 25 is the third show in the musical comedy series about women who work in the basement of a Lutheran church in Minnesota: Away in the Basement.

Smith plays the youngest character: Beverly Signe Engelson, a 15-yearold preparing to be confirmed.

She is the only newcomer to the cast, which features the return of Karen Pappas as the hilarious Mavis Gilmerson, Licia Watson as the matriarch Vivian Snustad, Katherine Proctor as Beverly’s mother, Karin Engelson, and Eddie Curry as Pastor E.L. Gunderson.

“I was a little nervous coming into the process because Eddie, Karen, Katie and Licia have all been part of this show before and I was the only new member,” said Smith. “However they welcomed me with open arms, along with our director, Curt Wollan.”

“Playing Beverly is so much fun,” she added. “My mom and dad sat in on our final dress rehearsal and I could hear them laughing out loud in some of my character’s sassier moments. It must mean that Beverly and ’15-year-old’ Hillary aren’t as different as I might have thought! I love playing this character. She has so much to discover about herself and some of those ‘growing up’ discoveries or moments happen in the show for her.”

Beverly Engelson (Hillary Smith), right, asks Vivian Snustad (Licia Watson) why she won’t attend a Christmas dinner while her mother, Karin (Katherine Proctor), center, looks on in Away in the Basement, A Church Basement Ladies Christmas.

As if nine performances a week weren’t enough, Hillary is also taking the lead role in Cinderella, the fall installment of Beef & Boards’ Pyramid Players’ Live Theatre for Kids series, now on stage Fridays and Saturdays through Nov. 17. The one-hour performances are designed to introduce young children to live theatre.

“The kid shows at Beef & Boards are such a cool experience,” said Smith. “There is nothing like performing to an audience of children and getting to see them and their big smiles afterward. They are living the story in the audience right along with us actors on stage.”

“I love when a parent tells me that the show they just saw was that child’s first,” she added. “I will be part of a memory they will have the rest of their life.”

For reservations to either show, call the Beef & Boards Box Office at 872-9664. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays. For more information, including show schedule, visit www.beefandboards.com.

Theatre

Get your kicks at Route 66

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Won’t you get hip to this timely tip: check out the new show from the Actors Theatre of Indiana. Route 66 opens Friday at The Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts, 4 Center Green, Carmel, and runs to Nov. 18.

ATI’s Alex de Aguiar Reuter said the musical is centered on four buddies traveling Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles.

“The show is a high octane experience,” he said.

“They’re all seasoned actors with great harmonies throughout.”

Take a dollop of “Grease,” mix in some “Pump Boys and Dinettes” and add a generous dose of “Forever Plaid” and you’ve got the enjoyment of Route 66. Beginning with the sounds of 1950s Chicago and traveling along the “Main Street of America” to the California coast with the surf music of the 1960s, this exciting musical revue features 34 of the greatest “Rock ’n Road” hits of the era.

Aguiar Reuter said the show is great for fathers and sons or couple’s looking for a great

night out with nostalgic music.

“We want it to be fun – a light, fun experience that’ll have you leaving with a smile on your face and your foot tapping,” Songs include “Dead Man’s Curve,” “King of the Road,” “Little Old Lady from Pasadena,” “Beep Beep,” “Six Days on the Road,” “Little GTO,” “Fun, Fun, Fun” and many more.

Get your kicks with this smash hit musical revue!

As a special treat, ATI is collaborating with Circle City Corvette Club to have a collection of 1950s-1970s Corvettes on display opening night.

“The plan is to have 30 there,” said Aguiar Reuter, adding that the cars will not interfere with parking Friday night.

As Chevrolet celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Corvette, Aguiar Reuter said other car clubs interested in coming out during shows should contact him at 669-7983.

Tickets range from $35.50 to $40. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. For more information or to order tickers, visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org or call 843-3800.

Cookin/Music

A Halloween theme Over the years I’ve been asked to judge tailgate contests at stadiums of huge BCS colleges all the way down in size to local prep schools.

Every single contest had a central theme thought up by its planners. People were judged, on a small part, as to their adherence to a central idea. It was fun to see all the different ways people followed the overall contest theme.

Halloween black/orange napkins and tablecloths are available from all sorts of outlets as are real pumpkins. These pumpkins can be carved with your team logo or Letter. Orange Jelloshots are easy to make from the recipe is on my website. Corn chips are available in orange and black colors and all your cream based dips can be dyed with orange or black food coloring. Decorate with a dummy of the opponent’s mascot hung by a noose and a witch’s hat and broom on display. How about setting up a cardboard RIP, gray, tombstone for your opponents?

The important thing is to change things up and have fun.

Pumpkin Walnut Praline Bars Ingredients: Pie crust (pre-made) to fit 9/13, 1 cup solidly packed canned pumpkin, 3 large eggs, 2/3 cups light brown sugar packed, 1 tsp. ground cin-

namon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, 3/4 cup evaporated milk Topping: 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon unbleached all purpose flour., 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup chopped walnuts To Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350. Roll the dough and trim it to fit. Brush with egg whites and place it into buttered 9/13 dish/pan and chill in the fridge until ready to bake. Mix the pumpkin, eggs brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with a whisk until smooth. Gradually stir in evaporated milk until blended. Now pour the mixture over the crust in the baking pan and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let it stand for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the brown sugar and flour in a bowl. Now, add the butter and mix with a fork or your fingers until crumbly. Add the walnuts and stir to blend. Sprinkle this mixture over the pumpkin bars and return the bars to the oven for 15 more minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a rack before cutting into bars. This will make 24 small bars.

Wellness Determining your breast cancer risk HEALTH

Commentary by Patricia Kennedy, MD October means lots of pink ribbon sightings in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For all women, breast cancer risks increases with age. That’s why it’s important to schedule annual mammograms beginning at age 40 – earlier if you have a family history of the disease. Yearly mammograms are one of the best ways to identify breast cancer in the earliest stages when it’s most treatable and often curable.

Women frequently ask the difference between “screening” and “diagnostic” mammograms. A “screening” mammogram is scheduled when a woman is experiencing no problems or concerns with her breasts. “Diagnostic” mammograms are completed when a woman has noticed a lump or change in the breast. If you suspect a problem, contact your primary care doctor or gynecologist first before scheduling an appointment with a breast imaging center. Your doctor will contact the center to order a diagnostic mammogram. Radiologists evaluate diagnostic mammograms differently by focusing more specifically on the area of the breast in question.

Both screening and diagnostic mammograms are thorough exams – they are just evaluated in different ways.

Understanding your personal risk for breast cancer becomes increasingly important as you Germs – As a parent, you may be tempted to sanitize everything your child touches, but research shows this may not be the best solution. Exposing infants to some germs may prove helpful, offering greater protection from illnesses such as allergies and asthma later on in life.

Exactly what germs have not yet been determined. – webmd.com

get older. A new Breast Cancer Risk Screening program at Indiana University Health North Hospital helps women determine their breast cancer risks. The computer-based screening program is easy, takes less than five minutes and is available free of charge to any woman who has a screening mammogram at IU Health North Hospital. To complete the screening, women answer a few basic questions about their breasts and reproductive health, including family history, age at first menstrual period, whether they have delivered children (if so, at what age) and any history of breast procedures, such as breast biopsy.

Through this initial screening, women learn if they are at average risk or potentially increased risk of developing breast cancer. Those women found to be at increased risk will be contacted by a nurse practitioner to schedule a full risk assessment. Recommendations for women with increased risks may include genetic testing, a breast MRI or consultation with breast care specialists to determine the best course of action.

Patricia Kennedy, MD, Medical Director, Breast Care, Indiana University Health North Hospital, specializes in breast surgery. She is a guest columnist located at Breast Care at IU Health North Hospital, 11725 N. Illinois St., Ste. 545, in Carmel. She can be reached by calling the office at 317.688.5155.

Keep glowing – One of the best ways to achieve healthy, glowing skin is by eating a variety of colorful fruits and veggies. Try snacking on blueberries, strawberries or different kinds of peppers. Foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and walnuts, are also great for the skin. - webmd.com

Small action, big impact – You know that sleep is important for your child's success, but adjusting bed time by just a half hour can produce dramatic effects, a study says. Just twenty-seven more minutes of rest resulted in less impulsive and less distracted children. On the contrary, one hour less had opposite effects on behavior and mood. – children.webmd.com

Wellness Exercise, eat healthy and sleep well HEALTH

Commentary by April Conard Cutting calories, logging hours on the treadmill and even crunches . . . still no change in your waistline? Here is some good advice, take a nap. Yes, you read that right, I said go to sleep!

Everyone knows that exercise and healthy eating are the way to slimmer jeans but did you know that also includes sleep?

Studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggest that sleep loss may increase hunger and affect the body’s metabolism, which may make it more difficult to maintain or lose weight.

Sleep loss appears to do two things: 1. Makes you feel hungry even if you are full. Sleep loss has been shown to affect the secretion of cortisol, a hormone that regulates appetite. As a result, individuals who lose sleep may continue to feel hungry despite adequate food intake.

2. Increases fat storage. Sleep loss may interfere with the body’s ability to metabolize carbohydrates, which leads to high levels of blood sugar. Excess blood sugar

promotes the overproduction of insulin, which can lead to the storage of body fat and even diabetes.

Specialists recommend that people who desire to lose weight should adjust their sleep habits as well as their eating habits. The following are useful tips to help increase your quality of sleep: • Don’t go to bed feeling hungry, but don’t eat a big meal right before bedtime.

• Exercise regularly, but no sooner than three hours before bedtime.

• Avoid caffeine in the late afternoon and evening.

• Establish relaxing pre-sleep rituals, such as a warm bath or a few minutes of reading.

Healthy eating habits, a regular fitness routine and sleep, the triple threat of weight loss; balance all three and you are on your way to fitness bliss!

Protecting your home when you are away Commentary by Jamie Ianigro Question from Bryan H. from Noblesville: My parents go to Florida after the Thanksgiving holiday and their house pretty much sits empty until spring when they come back. Is their house okay insurance wise?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Congratulations to them and I hope you get a chance to go visit them to escape the Indiana winter. A couple of factors come in to play when we talk about unoccupied homes and insurance. Notice I didn’t say vacant homes. Let’s start with the difference between vacant and unoccupied.

Figuring out the difference between a vacant home and an unoccupied home is as easy as walking in the front door. Unoccupied homes might be a little chilly or a little warm, but people are obviously still living there. It will look like someone could have just left or might be home shortly. A vacant home is going to be pretty much empty and it will be obvious that people are not living there. The fridge will be empty, most of the furniture will be gone, etc.

Insurance carriers will not insure an unoccupied home and a vacant home at the same price or coverage levels. A vacant dwelling requires a special policy and is much more costly than

a common homeowner’s policy. Your independent insurance agent can help you find a vacant home policy or elaborate further if you think your home might be vacant.

Each insurance carrier is different, but you can start to lose coverages if your home is unoccupied for a certain period of time. The big two that usually drop off would be coverage for vandalism and coverage for losses caused by a plumbing failure like freezing pipes. These claims can both be costly, so it is very important to know and understand your policy provisions if you’re a snow bird. Coming back from a winter vacation to a ruined house can be made a lot worse by finding out your insurance carrier is denying all or major parts of your claim.

The important takeaway here is to make sure you understand your insurance policy before you fly south for the winter. Your independent insurance agent will be glad to go over it with you and clear up any confusion you may have.

Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services.

Take advantage of beautiful fall colors Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Understandably, most of us love the impressive endless summer hydrangea for its strong continual flower statement. Yet, the unobtrusive glowing embers hydrangea is my go-to variety because of its warm plum / red tones that begin showing themselves in mid-summer on its large leaf structure. Flowering is almost a bonus for this performer. Same goes with the oak leaf hydrangea.

Autumn is a second spring, where every leaf is flower. Could your outdoor living space use an inspiring dose of color?

Fall – Want to keep those flowers alive in frost season but don’t trust the weatherman?

The popularity of “hardscapes” has prompted many in our industry to marginalize the value of stunning landscapes. Unfortunately, most consumers have been happy to follow that fixation on patios, decks, fire features and everything else that is not soft … like landscapes. That’s too bad. Expect a return of enthusiastic landscaping as we wake up.

Think about it, a beautiful deck or patio stands little chance of being a compelling place to hang out with your loved ones or a personal respite without smartly designed plantings to bring it to life and soften the edges. Anything flowering, that motions with a breeze, has compelling fragrance or a distinct texture has the power to impact our mood and direct how an evening of entertaining unfolds.

Fall favorites Well planned landscapes are especially showy in the fall when leaves are popping with color, almost like a final hurrah before winter sets in, screaming “Look at me!” And look we do. Fall color is often a forgotten function in landscape design, but its value is stunning.

Some of the most brilliant fall colors are housed on the ornamental serviceberry tree.

Perhaps that’s why there are five in my back yard on fire with the brilliance of fall. Green leafed Japanese maples are impressive too with a tinge of bright orange showing through.

Hardwood flooring

IntroducingThe All-New 2013

Commentary by David Decker

For a versatile and natural look that never goes out of style, many homeowners choose to install hardwood flooring. Unlike other flooring trends that come and go, hardwood flooring has remained in style for over 200 years with no signs that tastes will change anytime soon. Today, homeowners have more hardwood options to choose from than ever before. With designs ranging from rustic to retro to contemporary, there is a style of hardwood floor to fit any home.

The number of designs available on the market can overwhelm some shoppers. If you are looking for new hardwood flooring, keep the following trends and developments in mind next time you are out browsing.

Wide Wood Flooring: Many homeowners are choosing flooring designed with wider planks.

The width of the plank used to be related to the age and maturity of the tree it was crafted from.

Many years ago, mature lumber was much easier to come by. But as the lumber supply ran out or became protected, wide planks gradually became rare. This is why modern hardwood has always been made from narrow planks. But thanks to new manufacturing techniques, wide plank flooring has been made available once again. Wider boards give the illusion that the room is larger, which is why many homeowners select the style. And they can give a room a hint of traditional elegance that echoes antique hardwood floor.

Distressed Wood Flooring: Since the late 1990’s, there’s been a surge in popularity of distressed wood flooring. Planks featuring scrapes, nail holes or stains can create an artsy, edgy look that many niche markets love.

Exotic Wood Flooring: Homebuyers are no longer limited to domestic species of wood. Today, you can find hardwood floors made from

LEXUS ES SErIES trees from all over the world. Most exotic woods are crafted from wood harvested from tropical forests. For this reason, some homeowners choose to purchase sustainable woods that have been engineered and designed to mimic exotic woods.

Sustainability: Green options for flooring are being developed with greater frequency than ever before. Styles crafted from bamboo or cork cut down the flooring’s impact on the environment.

Color: Hardwood floor is available in a spectrum of colors (and not just various shades of brown).

Consider installing black, white, red or even grey flooring. Or you can also purchase unfinished wood that can be stained with any color, opening up all sorts of design possibilities.

An excellent new line to consider is DuChateau Floors. Developed in Holland, these vintage hardwood floors are designed to reflect Old World styles using modern technologies. If you’re looking to add an antique feel to a room, consider one of DuChateau’s designs.

Before attempting to select a style of hardwood floor, it’s important to first decide on how you’d like the room to look and feel. The right hardwood style can subtly tie all the other elements of your room décor together. Select carefully; a great hardwood floor can last a lifetime and beyond.
