The city’s five-points roundabout at Greenfield Avenue, 10th Street and Christian Avenue officially was opened with a ribbon cutting on Halloween. Although the intersection has been open for several weeks, city officials celebrated its recent completion of landscaping and lighted monument, designating the year the city was established, 1823. Previously a stoplight intersection, city officials said the new design provides drivers a more efficient entry and exit into and out of the south end of the city. (Submitted photo)

Humane Society’s new benefit store to open Nov. 11

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com The Humane Society for Hamilton County soon will have another line of income through donations.

The Trends for Tails boutique will open cover story Nov. 11, at 1109 S. 10th St. in Noblesville.

The store’s volunteer manager, Lisa Bednar Cook, said she’s excited for the public to see what the boutique has to offer – a more upscale shopping experience than some other resale shops, with all profits going directly to the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

Bednar Cook began volunteering with the Humane Society in the summer of 2014 when she opened the Humane Society’s former resale shop, TattleTails, which was formerly housed in the former Carolyn’s Consignments building at 2340 Conner St. in Noblesville.

“We were needing to find our own space, which took us about a year and a half,” Bednar Cook said. “We were in storage, then we finally found this space, and so we started unpacking in mid-September. (TattleTails) proved that we could make money doing this, so for the first full year we were open we were able to generate about $60,000 for the shelter.

The goal here is for $100,000.

“We had been looking diligently. We really wanted to stay in Noblesville with the shelter here. I know they’re going to move, but still, we’ve made a lot of really great customers, and we’re really close to downtown.”

The boutique plans to sell new or nearly new women’s clothes, accessories and jewelry, men’s shirts and jackets, home décor, small to medium-sized furniture and more.

“We try to be good stewards of the donations we get,” Bednar Cook said. “We have just a variety of things, and we’re trying to hit all the price points so we have something for everyone while still trying to make it attractive and stylish.

We’re really looking at quality and trying to differentiate ourselves from a thrift shop. We don’t take housewares, sheets and linens, miscellaneous dishes and glasses, etc. All of that has a place, but that’s not what we’re trying to do here.”

All donations find a home, however. Bednar Cook said even if the store doesn’t put an item on display, the item is redonated to other area shelters, resale shops or thrift stores like St. Vincent de Paul, Daniel’s Closet, Salvation Army, dress for success programs and more.

The store is operated solely by volunteers and one parttime employee. Approximately 15 volunteers make up the staff.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday though Saturday. Donations are accepted any time the store is open. All donations are tax deductible. All net proceeds go directly to the Humane Society for Hamilton County.

For more, visit the Trends for Tails Resale Boutique Facebook page or hamiltonhumane.com/how-to-help/ trendsfortails.

attend the grand opening Guest of honor Teri Ditslear will assist Humane Society for Hamilton County Executive Director Rebecca Stevens with a ribbon cutting to officially open the Trends for Tails at 1109 S. 10th St., Noblesville, at 10 a.m. Nov. 11. Grand opening festivities will begin at noon and last until approximately 4 p.m. Guests can enjoy refreshments (hot chocolate and Gigi’s Cupcakes), see adoptable dogs, take part in giveaways and sales and take styling tips from a former Saks Fifth Avenue style advisor.

Volunteer store manager Lisa Bednar Cook will oversee the day-to-day operations of the store. (Photo by Sadie Hunter)

FIND MORE TO SHOP

Pop-up shops Trends for Tails Resale Boutique will occasionally host pop-up shops on its Facebook page. Those who like the page can see items for sale, buy them, then pick them up and pay for them at the store.

Booth at Whimzy “We do have a little booth in Whimzy (940 Logan St., Noblesville) on the square for our antiques and collectibles,” shop manager Lisa Bednar Cook said. “Those items were donated at our previous store, but we never really quite knew what to do with them because people weren’t coming in to that shop for antiques. So that’s open now, and I like to call it our antique annex. It gives people a little exposure to us on the square.”

Play It Again Sports “Play It Again Sports (2332 E. 116th St., Carmel, and 11681 Olio Rd., Fishers), we have an account set up there, so if people want to donate their sporting equipment to our account, the proceeds will come directly to us,” shop manager Lisa Bednar Cook said. “We find that we’re getting bicycles and exercise equipment that’s too large for this store, and people aren’t really going to be coming here to buy sports equipment.”

o b s e r v a tion Zombie inoculation Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The notion of a zombie apocalypse has become common parlance to indicate the end of the world. Dozens of television series, movies, songs and even band names are dedicated to the dystopian notion that the human race will end not with seven horsemen or a nuclear-enabled eastern dictator but, instead, with a virus gone awry.

Generations of us have come of age in a time when disease and contagion rank among our utmost fears. AIDS, Ebola, flesh eating bacteria and Zika are part of our common lexicon – and are the vague anxiety producers in our lives. Are they going to affect us directly? If we care for ourselves carefully, they probably will not. But they may change our dating, travel or outdoor habits for good. We dread that a single, casual social interaction could lead to an irreversible life-changing, or life-ending, instance.

So, we’ve figured out that the world is dangerous. But didn’t we know this when Og first bumped into a saber-toothed tiger and didn’t make it back to the cave? Most humans understand that a bit of caution can lead to an extended lifespan. So, we have come to hide out in the cave. Our social interactions move in bits and bytes through smartphones and social networks.

We meet in cyber chat rooms and travel through virtual reality tanning beds. Yet, are there zombies lurking on Facebook? Do the brain-eaters lie in wait behind a silly, cat-themed meme? Can they grab us with clever or salacious headlines, infect our minds with hate and cause us to do the same to others? If, as some argue, there is a disease affecting our society – one that makes us blind to the perspectives and beliefs of others – is there any hope for inoculation?

The other day I heard myself saying, “Parenting never ends,” and in the same moment, thinking, but it sure gets humor a lot easier! A coworker was regaling me with the woes of potty-training his 2-year-old while I was sharing a logistical nightmare of having to simultaneously pick up my teenagers at three different locales. Winner of the award for Most Challenging Parenting Task? The toddler! Hands-down.

Doo and I have certainly come a long way. At our darkest hour, we had four children younger than 7 and were providing full-time day care for our infant nephew. I say “we” to sound democratic, but in reality it was just I. God bless the YMCA, which provided two hours of free child-watching, hot showers and an exceptionally clean facility where harried moms like myself could congregate and pretend to look cool while attempting Turbo Kick.

I do not miss those days. To be sure, parenting still is daunting. I often lie awake wondering if we’ll end up dealing with a teen pregnancy or a stint in rehab. What if the twins don’t pass their driving tests (gulp)? What if they do? But I’m able to compartmentalize the concerns and then soothe my heartburn with an episode of “Stranger Things.”

But when your children are little, there is no escape from reality. You can’t just run to your happy place when you’re stuck in traffic with an un-diapered kid screaming “pee pee is coming!” At that point, parenting is about survival. And you must be fully, exhaustingly, present. Always.

So maybe parenting doesn’t actually get any easier, but it certainly becomes more manageable. And much less gross. Peace out.

REA D ER ’ S V I E W

‘I believe you’ Editor, Recent news about Harvey Weinstein’s decades-long sexual harassment and the resulting #MeToo social media campaign have reignited the discussion about the widespread nature of sexual violence.

Admitting that sexual abuse and domestic violence exists is an important first step. No matter how high the hashtag numbers, there are still more victims who cannot speak out on social media, let alone leave their abusive situation.

This is a fear we see all too often at The Julian Center, and there are many reasons victims stay silent. They may fear retribution against their children or other loved ones. Many don’t come forward because their abuser has complete financial control. Others fear losing their jobs or homes. Some are unable to believe they are worthy of anything other than a life of abuse. And many are told they are to blame or are making the whole thing up.

Disputing the realities of domestic and sexual violence can have deadly consequences. A report released by the

Centers for Disease Control in July of this year reported that more than 55 percent of all female homicides were related to partner violence.

One in 3 women and 1 in 6 men in the United States have experienced some form of sexual or domestic abuse. This is an unacceptable level of violence. It is past time we stand up to protect and serve those who are harassed, attacked, and abused. There are many ways to get started, including volunteering at a local domestic violence shelter such as The Julian Center, learning how to spot the signs of intimidation and abuse and speaking out when you see something wrong.

Most of all, we need to believe people when they say they have been abused.

There is no room for skepticism or unintentional shaming. Whether it’s shared on social media or in a private moment of trust, when someone tells you they’ve been the victim of domestic violence there is only one correct response: “I believe you.”

Benefits of proper stretching Commentary by Dr. Kimbre Zahn While stretching is often paired with exercise, it’s important to know when stretching during your health physical activity is most beneficial.

Post-workout stretching relieves tension, allowing the muscles to relax. Because the body is already warm from exercise, stretching after physical activity also lengthens muscle tissue.

Follow these tips: • Concentrate on large muscle groups, which benefit the most from stretching. Target shoulders and neck, legs, hips and the lower back.

• Be sure to stretch evenly on both sides.

• Avoid bouncing while stretching. This can lead to injuries.

• Keep breathing while you stretch, exhaling as you move into the stretch.

• Don’t over-stretch. To improve flexibility, you must stretch and hold a muscle beyond its normal point; however, be sure to stop stretching if you feel pain.

Stretch muscles to a comfortable point and hold for 15 to 30 seconds.

• Make stretching a part of your daily routine. In addition to stretching first thing in the morning, overhead-arm stretches and even squats can be beneficial during the day, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting.

Although stretching and exercise improve physical fitness and health, it’s important to talk with your primary care doctor before starting an exercise program.

Chamber to visit Beck’s Hybrids

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

SWAN LAKE SAT NOV 25 7:00PM

This week, the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce will take a field trip to northern Hamilton County for its monthevents ly membership luncheon.

From 11:30 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. Nov. 9, the chamber is inviting its members and the public to have a meal at and tour Beck’s Hybrids, a family owned seed company off 276th Street in Atlanta.

For this event, the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the Northern Hamilton County Chamber of Commerce, which encompasses the towns of Cicero, Arcadia and Atlanta.

Beck’s has locations throughout the Midwest but is headquartered in Atlanta and run by CEO Sonny Beck. The company dates back to 1901, when the Beck family purchased an 80-acre farm in Hamilton County, which is still the company headquarters.

But it wasn’t until 1937 that the family planted hybrid seed corn, given to them by the Purdue University botany department.

Register for the luncheon and tour by visiting noblesvillechamber.com. Guests are $18 and members are $15.

On Dec. 8, the chamber will co-host a leglislative breakfast with the chambers of Northern Hamilton County, Westfield and OneZone from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at Connor Prairie, 13400 Allisonville Rd., Fishers.

This event will serve as a 2018 legislative preview, led by Indiana Chamber of Commerce President Kevin Brinegar.

Dispatches Real-estate update — The housing market in Noblesville remains steady.

According to F.C. Tucker, homes in the city sold in an average of 51 days, only two days less than this time last year. In September 2017, the average sale price for homes in the city was $246,863 at $120.24 per square foot.

This sale price represented a slight 2.3 percent decrease from September 2016.

Newest tech stock picks — Really hot techstocks right now include Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix and Google. However, mutual fund guru Joshua Spencer recommends several newer stocks for their potential to benefit the most from emerging technology trends. They include: 1. Proofpoint (PFPT) — a cloud-based company quickly emerging as a leader in cyber security.

2. Salesforce.com (CRM) — applications for managing business data, marketing and customer service.

3. Electronic Arts (EA) — one of the largest video game publishers.

ATI to launch Theatre Immersion Experience

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com

To the casual observer, the stars of any stage production are, well, the stars.

But to the trained eye, the production stars are never on stage. They are, in fact, completely out of sight — a point Carmel’s Actors Theatre of Indiana wants to drive home with an innovative program designed for teens who are interested in theater careers.

In January, ATI will launch “Theatre Immersion Experience 2018,” a series of job-shadowing workshops that encompass all facets of production, from stage management to directing to set, lighting and costume design.

Open to ages 14 to 18, each “immersion” consists of 12 students who follow an ATI main stage production literally from start to finish -- all under the leadership of ATI’s director of education MaryJayne Waddell, an accomplished professional with 37 years of stage experience. “(Students will) have direct access to the directors, the actors, the designers,” said WadWaddell dell, who joined ATI in August. “They’re going to see the first day of rehearsal. They’re going to see the technical rehearsal. They’ll see final dress. They’ll shadow backstage crew and the stage manager. They’ll be there opening night and the opening night party.”

In short, they’ll get a big picture, nuanced look at a major production, the goal of which is to help aspiring professionals find their theater niche. For some, that might be performing on stage. For others, it might be doing the essential work off it.

Immersions are designed to be illuminating, enlightning and career-guiding.

“They’re really going to see the collaborative effort that it

In each immersion, students will:

takes to bring a show to life and really help them appreciate all of the different departments that go into producing the stage show,” said Waddell, who has performed on Broadway, Off-Broadway, cruise ships, national tours and has appeared in TV and feature films. “We really do want to take the kids to the next level.”

Because of the focus on job shadowing and close interaction, each immersion program is limited to 12 students. In addition to following an ATI production, each experience includes 40 hours of customized instruction from Broadway and theater professionals.

Cost is $600 per student. For more or to register, visit atistage.org and click the Education tab.

“The real goal of this immersion is to help them to appreciate and actually teach them life skills on how to work together to recognize that everyone has talent, whether it’s on stage or behind the scenes,” Waddell said. “It’s not just on stage. There are lots of jobs behind the scenes.This is for kids that are really serious and curious and ready to grow.”

Immersion dates

• Follow an ATI main stage production from first rehearsal through opening night.

• Immersion No. 1: “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” Jan. 6 - Feb. 17, 2018

• Receive six sessions totaling 40 hours of customized classes taught by Broadway and theater professionals to help identify, improve and develop their talents.

• Immersion No. 2: “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” March 31 - May 12, 2018

• Star in a final showcase that they have written, directed, choreographed and designed, preformed for an audience of theater professionals, community leaders and college theater representatives.

• Immersion Nos. 3 and 4 (two sessions): “Million Dollar Quartet,” May 19 - June 16, 2018.

‘Annie’ sets Civic Theatre box office records for season opener editorial@youarecurrent.com Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s production of “Annie” became the most successful season opener at the box office in the theater’s 103-year history.

“Thanks to everyone who saw ‘Annie’ and spread the word about it throughout the community,” Civic Chairman of the Board of Directors Donald E. Knebel said in a press release. “Our cast and crew thrive on full houses and you rewarded them immensely.”

“Annie” featured national tour sets that were assembled by the Civic’s professional technical staff.

Anne Nicole Beck provided the choreography for the show, which concluded its run Oct. 28.

Blueprint for Improvement: Crooked Stick whole house transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background Info: This 1980s home is on a beautiful lot right on Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel. The home, however, needed an interior and exterior updates to better meet the needs of the owners and their family.

The goal for the exterior remodel was to create an overall more modern design while adding a more comfortable outdoor living space to the backyard. The owners wanted to make the space more functional for their family.

1. The most significant transformation came from reducing the height of the portico and creating a one-story covered porch, replacing the colonial-style pillars with something more contemporary.

2. Reducing the height of the portico allowed for the addition of three dormer windows, giving the home more height.

3. In the backyard we added a one-story covered patio with a ceiling fan, creating a shaded area for the family and their guests to stay cool on hot summer days.

4. Additional exterior changes included a stamped concrete pool deck, new windows and shutters and painting of the entire home.

After

Before problems The original colonial-style exterior was dated and lacked curb appeal. The backyard had limited area for the large family to entertain guests. The existing outdoor living space lacked shaded area.

There was plenty of space on the lot but it lacked design and was underutilized.

The Temple of Whom Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Today I want to tackle another tricky grammar bugaboo. It’s one of those confusing quandaries I grammar guy simply avoid using because I don’t want to sound dumb. I’m talking about who and whom.

Every time I’m tempted to use whom, I’m afraid of sounding like I own a fancy, private helicopter to travel to my private island where I roll around in gold coins, Scrooge McDuck-style. It just kind of sounds snooty. So let’s learn how to use it correctly, shall we?

I have an easy way to remember when to use who or whom: Use who when you can replace it in a sentence with he; use whom when you can replace it in a sentence with him. For example: Who/Whom tried to parachute out of my private helicopter? Bad idea, dude.

Let’s try replacing who/whom with him.

Him tried to parachute out of my private helicopter. That doesn’t sound right. How about he: He tried to parachute out of my private helicopter. That sounds better, so we should use who in this sentence.

Another example: To who/whom did you invite over to your secret island bungalow this weekend? Which sounds right: I invited he over to my secret island bungalow this weekend, or, I invited him to my secret island bungalow this weekend. Him sounds better, so we should use whom in this example.

He/him is simply a secret, tricky way to determine the subject and object of a sentence. The subject is the person (or place or thing) doing the action in a sentence. The object is the person (or place or thing) on the receiving end of the action. To whom (object) did Gary (subject) direct his cheesy pick-up lines? Since we usually don’t think in terms of subject and object, I think it’s simpler to use the he/him trick.

In my opinion, going around using whom properly probably makes people assume you have an entire closet just for your polo ascots, but I always enjoy a rollicking, post-brunch polo match on the beach of my exclusive pretend island.
