In addition, Noblesville would contribute a maximum of $200,000 of new dollars each year – a figure that Mayor Ditslear said will be driven lower as the facility generates more of its own property taxes to fund itself.

Noblesville girl designs ornament for Riley

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Kilyn Dripps of Noblesville is one of three child artists to create a design for Riley holiday ornaments. (Submitted photo)

Kilyn Dripps is doing her share to help other Riley kids.

The second grader giving back at Hinkle Creek Elementary in Noblesville designed a snowmen ornament.

A total of 10,000 ornaments were made for sale with Kilyn’s design. The ornament sales benefit The Gift of Hope Happens Here campaign. The giving campaign, supported statewide by Fifth Third Bank and Indiana Blood Center, raises funds and provides hope to families seeking help for seriously ill and injured children.

“I was so excited to be able to do the ornament because I got to help raise money for Riley kids,” Kilyn said.

In June 2009, Kilyn was born with tumors underneath her eye and an interrupted aortic arch and a large ventricular septal defect.

She spent her first months in the Riley Hospital for Children’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit in Indianapolis. Kilyn underwent her first open-heart surgery to repair her interrupted aortic arch at only one week old. At 2 years old, Kilyn’s ventricular

septal defect was repaired in her second open-heart surgery.

Kilyn is legally blind in her left eye and wears a pacemaker as a result of her heart surgeries. She has had 15 surgeries, mostly on her eye.

Tara Dripps, her mother, said Kilyn is very energetic and does gymnastics once a week.

“She runs a lemonade stand every July, and this year it was for Riley,” Dripps said.

Kilyn raised enough to purchase a Riley Wagon for smaller kids at the hospital.

“When she was in the hospital, that (wagon) was one thing she absolutely loved,” Dripps said. “We would stick her in the wagon to get her out of bed and walk her around for a little bit.”

Because of that contribution, Riley Children’s Foundation representatives asked Kilyn if she would be an artist this year.

“She’s kind of a mini-celebrity in Noblesville. Everybody knows who she is,” Dripps said.

Previously, a holiday card Kilyn designed for Riley sold out in a week-and-a-half.

The ornament can be purchased at Speedway convenience stores.

Nathan and Sara Althouse make the historic Craycraft home a singlefamily residence again after more than a century

By Sadie Hunter • Sadie@youarecurrent.com One of the most unique architectural features of downtown Noblesville has been many things to many people – a home, an apartment, a store, an office cover story or something different.

The huge, green Victorian home that sits at 1095 Conner St. had not served as a single-family home for more than 100 years (109 to be exact) until this year, when Nathan and Sara Althouse moved in in May. Although they purchased the property for $360,000 Jan. 1, 2015, on a land contract they let tenants’ leases expire before moving in.

Originally built by Daniel Craycraft in 1889, the Queen Anne-style home was the home of Craycraft and his family for less than 20 years before his death in 1907. The home was later converted to apartments and was used as multi-family housing or commercial space for the next 100-plus years.

Craycraft is mostly known in Noblesville for his attachment to the home and for his drygoods store on the downtown square, where Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano now sits.

Previously living just three doors east on Conner Street, the Althouses said they had been familiar with the Craycraft Home, a staple of the city’s downtown.

“Well, we had an old Victorian three doors down, bought it, renovated it, and then it turned out really, really nice,” Nathan said. “Of course, we loved this (the Craycraft) house. It was on the market and didn’t sell, then went for auction, didn’t sell. So, we knew the owner and worked out a deal with him, knowing we’d want to convert it into a single-family house. So, when we moved in in May, that was the first night anyone had spent the night here in decades.

“He passed away in 1907, and then the wife couldn’t take care of the house, so she started renting liens out. So, it became kind of like a boarding house, then turned into apartments, and then it’s been commercial for decades. It was a French restaurant for years, then a tea parlor. Right after the tea parlor, it was a yarn shop. Once their lease was up,

(Above) The Craycraft Home at 1095 Conner St. in downtown Noblesville was built by dry-goods store owner Daniel Craycraft in 1889. (Right) Nathan and Sara Althouse stand on the entryway staircase. The couple purchased the home in 2015 and moved in in May. (Photos by Sadie Hunter) they moved out, and we moved in and started renovating.”

Approximately 9,600 square feet, the home is three full stories and has a basement, attic, six bedrooms (with 13 beds) and five staircases. The Althouses said it will have five baths when finished.

“One thing we really like about the house is the front wrap-around porch. We hang out there a lot,” Nathan said. “There’s also a really nice big balcony on the second floor.”

“We like to entertain,” Sara said. “So, it’s just nice to have the space. We both have large families.”

keeping with the antique style of the home.

“We also want to get rid of the parking lot and plant grass, so it will become our side yard,” Nathan said. “So the parking lot, the kitchen and finishing up the bathrooms are the biggest projects right now.

“Our kids are getting older, so we’ve thought about why are we upsizing instead of downsizing, but I think it will be fun when the kids get older and have their own families and then everyone can come back here for Christmas and Thanksgiving.”

So far, when it comes to renovations, the couple has finished a yoga studio inside the home, where Sara teaches, and has remodeled bathrooms, the laundry room and the mudroom and torn up approximately 9,000 square feet of carpet to refinish the original hardwood floors of the home.

“It’s just been cosmetic, really, until we start on the kitchen,” Sara said. “Well, the bathrooms were a big job.”

The Althouses said they will keep with the original integrity of the home as much as possible, but they have plans to update the kitchen with more modern technologies while still

MEET THE ALTHOUSES Originally from Marion, the couple moved to Noblesville approximately 13 years ago and have been married for 19 years.

Nathan, 42, is the director of land surveying at Miller Surveying in downtown Noblesville. Sara, 41, teaches yoga from inside the Craycraft home.

Together they have four daughters: Riley, 22, Raigan, 18, Lillian, 16, and Mackenzie, 13.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Don’t ditch the college That the United States is not a direct democracy where decisions are decided by popular vote is a dilemma for Democrats who are unhinged over Donald Trump’s Electoral College win. The drive for recounts is under way. Besides the left’s recount temper tantrum, Republican Electoral College members across the U.S. report harassment and threats from disgruntled Clinton supporters in a last-ditch effort to put their candidate, Hillary Clinton, who should be in the big house, in the White House.

One report says a young Michigan elector, Mike Banerian, received a message “containing a death wish” and another, “a death threat” in which someone threatened they’d “put a bullet” in his mouth. Banerian said he’s been called “a hateful bigot” and said, “people talk about shoving a gun in my mouth and blowing my brains out” - if he abides by Michigan law requiring electors to vote for Trump. Democrat leadership would be wise to detach itself from these whack jobs. These despotic dimwits don’t give a whit that America’s founders created the Electoral College to prevent that kind of mob-rule democracy, which will happen if a few big cities and states always control the outcome. Given all the talk about ditching the Electoral College, fair representation is the last thing on the minds of those who didn’t mind it at all when polls predicted a Clinton electoral landslide. Truth is, if they really cared about fairness, they’d ditch the Super Delegates system, which was rigged for Hillary when it robbed Bernie Sanders early on. That’s why we need the Electoral College, which serves to prevent voting fraud in certain areas from tainting a whole election.

The truth is Commentary by Terry Anker Does anyone of us hold the patent on truth? Lo, these many centuries we humans have gone forth and multiplied. Perhaps we are the most successful higher creature to ever inhabit this blue rock. We are uniquely suited to work in groups. And in doing so, we fight significantly above our weight class. Among the elements required to this interaction are communication, intelligence, and likely most important, trust. We are required to believe in our compadres – to rely upon their commitment to us and the cause at hand. If we fail to have faith in their dedication, we are far less inclined to meet the challenge and keep our part. So truth, as an essential component of trust, is necessarily an essential component of human flourishing.

Truth, one might say, is sacred. Then, how do we identify it? It is simple enough when fact can be independently measured.

Pure water boils at sea level when it reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. We can all find

comfort in the elegant proof of this certainty. But much of what we call fact may more accurately be identified as perspective.

From where we sit, we honestly call out our read on a set of data but cannot hope to definitively call it universal truth.

The truth is that truth may be a function of social context and our own bias rather than a measurable scientific standard. If we cannot find a common starting point, can we hope to find our way to a common truth? Diversity is good. But in pursuing it, do we necessarily overlook the value of communal experience? Can we find shared truth without shared understanding? Who knows? Yet, if we hope to benefit from mutual trust, we know that finding and pursuing mutual truth is a prerequisite.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK “Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality.”

– Nikos Kazantzakis

When my husband and I were first married, holidays, particularly Christmas, were a struggle. We both come humor from large families with very specific rituals and traditions.

I grew up with Scotch pines, Christmas Eve skits, and Santa’s gifts unwrapped.

Doo remembers Fraser firs, reading “The Night Before Christmas” the night before Christmas and receiving one “Santa setout.” Initially, the only thing we had in common were the big, multi-colored lights that emitted dangerously high levels of heat. It was a start, and we survived our first few Decembers without counseling.

But when we began having kids, things intensified. Where would we spend Christmas? Whose traditions would we follow?

At the heart of the matter, whose family was better? And even after 20 years, we are still having to tweak our Wilson-Morris melding of holiday cheer (though I contend that live theater is far better than a book reading!).

Take for instance the tinsel battle. I grew up with tinsel. I clearly remember my parents fighting over the stuff, mom clumping it on the branches just to be done with the whole tree-trimming mess, and dad, following behind her, barking, “You can’t just throw it on, Patty! You have to lay it carefully, strand by strand!” I truly believe Christmas trees are naked without tinsel.

Doo, unfortunately, did not experience the magic of tinsel in his house, and when I suggested it for our first tree together, he scoffed at the idea. So we compromised.

Every other year would be a tinsel year.

2016? Tinsel! And yet Doo behaved like a child when I broke it out last week and instructed everyone on its proper handling and application (no clumping, one strand per branch. Don’t screw it up!). “Well, the tree looked good a minute ago,” he declared. Really? Are we not passed this Yuletide pettiness?

No, we are not. But that’s the thing about marriage. It really doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together. Compromise will always play a leading role. And if I have to sacrifice “Mommie Dearest” reenactments, then Doo must learn to embrace tinsel, in all its sparkly beauty. Peace out.

USPS completes 3rd fiscal year operating at a profit Editor, The U.S. Postal Service just released another successful fiscal year’s financial figures, reporting a $610 million operating profit for 2016. This brings the total operating profit of the last three fiscal years to date up to $3.2 billion, all without a dime of taxpayer money.

The Postal Service funds itself by selling stamps and other products.

“The profit would have been higher if the USPS had not been required to reduce the price of a first-class stamp from 49 cents to 47 cents in the middle of the year,” USPS Chief Financial Officer Joe Corbett said.

Despite the cut, overall postal revenues for the year rose to $70.5 billion from $68.9 billion in the previous year. Postal revenue has increased steadily over the past four years. In the most recent year, package revenue was up 15.8 percent, spurred by internet shopping.

The Postal Service is thriving once again thanks to strong public support and record productivity from the employees while providing Americans and their businesses with the

industrial world’s most affordable delivery network.

“The pre-funding of retiree health care issue that is causing the manufactured financial crisis can be readily addressed if Congress acts on practical, targeted postal reform. There is a strong consensus within a coalition consisting of the Postal Service, postal unions, businesses, mailers and industry groups, as well as key legislators, for a reform package that all stakeholders can buy into, including addressing pre-funding, allowing the Postal Service to use its invaluable networks for some new products and services and adopting best private-sector practices in investing the USPS retiree health benefits fund,” NALC President Fredric Rolando said in a statement.

Everyday Hoosiers rely on the Postal Service and have the common-sense values that are needed in Washington to pass sensible postal reform so the Postal Service can continue serving every Hoosier household six days a week.

Is Trump working for We the People?

Editor, As we get further and further from Election Day, more and more information is coming out about potential conflicts of interest between the Trump family’s business interests and the interests of the American people. Just this week, President-elect Trump has indicated that he could run his business and the country at the same time. It’s not illegal to do so.

Here’s a few tidbits of information to chew on this week: Donald Trump owes the Chinese government-run bank hundreds of millions of dollars. Is he is going to take the side of the American people over his business partners, the Chinese? Is he going to enter into a trade war with his business partners? He’s going to bring back jobs to America, from China, the country he owes hundreds of millions of dollars to?

Donald Trump also owes Deutsche Bank

hundreds of millions of dollars. This is the same bank that is currently in negotiations with the justice department to settle a case regarding illegal mortgage practices (the initial settlement offer was $14 billion). Will he direct his justice department to vigorously prosecute a bank that scammed thousands of Americans with illegal mortgage practices, when he is one of their business partners?

Donald Trump currently holds a government lease for his Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. He recently held an event at the hotel in order to pitch luxury apartments to foreign diplomats. Didn’t he rail against “Crooked Hillary” for “pay to play” schemes like this when she was secretary of state?

These “conflicts of interest” beg the question: Who will President Trump be working for?

Himself, or We the People?

Antibiotics, childhood infections Commentary by Dr. Dorota Szczepaniak Knowing the best way to manage childhood bacterial infections can be challenging for parents. Antibiotic stewardship kids initiatives resulting from concerns about widespread antibiotic resistance have changed the way many bacterial infections are treated in both children and adults. Such stewardship practices involve allowing minor bacterial infections to run their course and treating only the most serious infections with antibiotics to help these medicines maintain their effectiveness in the future.

Less than 30 years ago, children died or were severely impaired from meningitis, one of the most severe bacterial infections.

Fortunately today, this disease can be easily prevented by following a routine vaccination schedule, and if necessary, treated with strong medications.

Pneumonia and bacterial urinary tract infections are conditions that require antibiotics.

Prescription antibiotics are also needed for some minor bacterial infections, such as strep throat and impetigo. If untreated, these infections may have serious consequences.

In healthy children, infections like sinusitis and ear infections may go away within a few days without antibiotics. Bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye), which accounts for less than 50 percent of pink eye cases, may not require antibiotics, depending on the severity of symptoms. Allowing minor infections like these to resolve on their own strengthens the body’s immune system. It’s also important to remember that antibiotics are not effective in treating viral infections, such as the common cold, flu, cough and sore throat.

Although it’s natural for parents to want to minimize their child’s discomfort and enable quick healing, it’s best to let your child’s doctor take the lead in determining if and when prescribing an antibiotic is necessary.

The most important things parents can do to help keep children healthy are to instill good handwashing habits and ensure children receive recommended vaccinations. Prevention is key, and it starts at home.

The agreement will allow patients and Community Health Network employees the convenient opportunity to fill prescriptions immediately at a pharmacy that very likely also has a location near home that they can visit for refills.

Music and immunity — We’ve all heard that exposure to music can make us more intelligent. Recent research also shows that music can boost our immunity. Specifically, listening to music produced a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol. Research subjects also had higher levels of immunoglobulin A and cytokines, both infection fighters.

Christmas might not be the same without all those special treats but that doesn’t mean food has to be the main focus. Instead, concentrate on other activities, like making holiday crafts, enjoying special music, decorating or spending time with family. Try to plan activities that don’t revolve around food. You might be surprised that you really don’t miss all those cookies.

Home sales up 4.4 percent Commentary by Jim Litten Central Indiana’s residential real estate sales continue to grow, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker real estate Company. In October, despite having 2,299 fewer homes on the market from which to choose, pended home sales increased 4.4 percent compared to October 2015. The average sales price increased 2.9 percent year-to-date to $187,867. In the 15-county region, only three counties showed a slight dip in average home prices.

Hamilton County’s pended sales increased 11.6 percent in October 2016 compared to October 2015. Prices have also increased by 3.2 percent over last year to an average of $285,825. The number of available homes for sale, however, continues to decline in the region; inventory in Hamilton County slid 10 percent in October, a drop of 189 homes available compared to this time last year.

• In Noblesville, the average home sales price increased 2.9 percent year-to-date to $239,414 • Inventory moved at a significantly faster pace in Noblesville in October 2016.

Overall, homes sold in 57 days – 33 fewer days than this time last year.

• Buyers in Noblesville had fewer options available to them. Last month, 303 homes were available for sale – 63 fewer homes compared to October 2015.

Rust sisters to share role

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Morgan Rust figures she has come a long way in her eight years at Indiana Ballet Conservatory. holidays “Originally, I was a little mouse and now I’ve grown up and I’m doing the Sugar Plum with Lasha Khozashvili, a Boston Ballet principal (dancer),” Morgan said.

Morgan and twin sister Julia, 15, homeschooled sophomores from Noblesville, share the role of the Sugar Plum with Ricako Suzuki in the IBC’s production of “The Nutcracker” Dec. 8 through 11 at the Toby Theatre at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. This is Julia’s second year as the Sugar Plum.

“It was so special and incredible to work with (Khozashvili),” Julia said. “He’s an incredible dancer and he’s super nice as a person and just a dream to work with.”

IBC founding Artistic Director Alyona Yakovleva-Randall said Khozashvili was impressed with Julia last year.

Julia and Morgan encourage each other to improve.

“When we dance together, it’s not a competition. We just inspire each other to do better,” Julia said.

Quinn Starner, 14, is from Temperance, Mich., but has come to the IBC to train and

Starner, a homeschooled freshman, competed in “So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation.” She attended the academy in Los Angeles.

This is the 10th anniversary of this version of “The Nutcracker.”

“I staged this the first time in Indianapolis 10 years ago,” Yakovleva-Randall said. “Each year it gets better. It’s going to be an amazing production with a great cast.”

The performances are at 7 p.m. Dec. 8 and 9, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Dec. 10 and 11.

Blueprint for Improvement: Basement theater in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions:

After

The goal for this basement was to maximize the efficiency of the under-utilized rooms, creating a functional and beautiful space for the family.

1. The main area of the basement was converted into a theater room. A platform was created to give raised seating, creating a true theater feel while maintaining the inviting, casual look of the basement.

2. A seating wall was created in the theater room with a bar ledge so the family and guests could enjoy their bar while watching a movie. Slate tile on the wall mixed with the luxury vinyl flooring provide an overall visual warmth.

3. A barn door divides the dedicated game room and theater. This allows the homeowners to open up and connect the two rooms, or close it off while not in use. The game room was created by combining the unused bedroom and bonus room.

4. The casual seating area of the basement was updated with a new fireplace and built-ins to tie the entire rustic aesthetic together.

Before Background Info: These homeowners in the Village of West Clay in Carmel had a basement filled with miscellaneous exercise equipment and unused bedroom space. They were looking for a space that fit all of their functional needs while still looking beautiful, bright and updated.

Before problems: The basement was mostly unused space and was not an enjoyable place for the family to gather and make memories. The unneeded bedroom and bonus room were essentially wasted space, and the exercise equipment needed a dedicated space to be hidden away.

Inside Longshan Temple in Taipei, Taiwan. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Taipei’s Longshan Temple Commentary by Don Knebel The Longshan Temple in Taipei, Taiwan, is a favorite destination for students seeking help as they face important examinations. The power of the temple is said to be travel demonstrated by the survival of its most sacred possession.

In 1738, Han immigrants from the mainland built a Buddhist temple in the Manka District of Taipei. They named the temple after one they had left behind and dedicated it to the Bodhisattva of Compassion, known to Chinese Buddhists as Guan-Yin, usually portrayed as female, and to Tibetan Buddhists as Avalokitesvara, usually portrayed as male. As people with different religious beliefs and traditions came to Taipei, images of other gods and goddesses, some from Taoism and some from Chinese folk religions, were added to the temple. Today, the Longshan Temple includes representations of about 100 deities, including Guan-Yu, a Han general many worship as the god of war. A pamphlet handed out at the temple says this spiritual diversity “shows the tolerant mentality of the Chinese people in

their religious life.”

The multitude of deities represented in the Longshan Temple means there is one for virtually all of life’s milestones, from sea voyages and crucial tests to marriages and child births.

Before any of these events, residents of Taipei go to Longshan Temple, where they pray to the god likely to be of most help. They offer up smoldering incense in golden urns featuring images of “fools holding up the sky.”

Earthquakes and typhoons have repeatedly damaged the Longshan Temple, which was completely rebuilt in 1919. Allied aircraft bombed it during World War II. Despite the devastation of the structures around it, the ornate representation of Bodhisattva Guan-Yin has survived, largely intact. Temple supporters attribute this to the efficacy of Longshan Temple. Students who visit the temple before passing their exams agree.

Clean up broken glass – During holiday decorating, fragile glass ornaments can easily get broken. One easy way to pick up tiny broken glass shards is to cover the area with a slice of bread and press down lightly.

The spongy surface of the bread will pick even tiny pieces of glass, clearing the area safely.
