As the holiday season wraps up and a new year quickly approaches, the 2016 tax year comes to an end as well. While it may feel too early to be thinking about taxes, a topic that is sometimes overlooked in family law matters is the determination as to which parent shall be allowed to claim the children as dependents on their State and Federal Income tax returns in any given year.

While it may have once been common for Judges to order the parents to alternate claiming the children, under the Indiana Child Support Rules and Guidelines the objective is to achieve an order which will make the most money available for the children.

Therefore, there is no certainty that in each case the parties will be ordered to alternate claiming the children. However, keep in mind, that when a Court is determining an order to release the tax exemption, there are several factors that can be considered. The following factors include: (1) the value of the exemption at the marginal tax rate of each parent; (2) the income of each parent; (3) the age of the child(ren) and how long the exemption will be available; (4) the percentage of the cost of supporting the child(ren) born by each parent; (5) the financial aid benefit for post-secondary education for the child(ren); (6) the financial burden assumed by each parent under the property settlement in the case; and (7) any other relevant factors,(including health insurance tax subsidies or tax penalties under the Affordable Care Act).

One imperative factor that parents must understand is that the Decree of Dissolution or Court’s Order may not alone, by itself, be adequate to effectuate the terms in the Decree with respect to each parent’s ability to claim the children as dependents. Remember, in

order for the noncustodial parent to claim the child(ren) on her/his tax return, the custodial parent must execute the IRS Form 8332, thereby relinquishing her/his right to claim the children as dependants for that tax year. In general, the Courts cannot order that one party has the right to claim the children, but rather that one party must take all steps necessary in order for the other party to claim the children in a certain year, such as signing the IRS Form 8332. Additionally, signing the release is often contingent upon child support being current for the calendar year for which the exemption is ordered, as incentive to keep child support payments current. In fact, the Indiana Child Support Rules and Guidelines indicates in order for the parent who is obligated to pay child support and wants to claim the exemption, that parent must have paid at least ninety-five percent (95%) of their court ordered support for the calendar year in which the exemption is sought by January 31st of the following year. Thus, in order for the child support paying parent to claim the exemption in 2016, that parent must be at least 95% current by January 31, 2017.

So, while taxes can be a nightmare in and of themselves, hopefully with discussion and thoughtful planning, the child tax exemption doesn’t have to be included in that headache.

New Year’s party moves to Recreation Annex news@currentnoblesville.com Keeping with tradition, the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs will again host its annual New Year’s party, event but this year, the council is partnering with Logan Street Signs and Banners and Noblesville Parks and Recreation to do something different.

The event – running from 7 to 9 p.m. Dec. 30 – will be hosted at the Recreation Annex at Ivy Tech Community College in Noblesville.

The change in location will allow residents and families to enjoy the amenities of the Recreation Annex, which includes dodgeball, Bingo, board games, bubble soccer and snacks.

This event continues the New Year’s Eve celebration work began by George and Linda Kristo two decades ago and was championed

by Jim and Sherry Wafford for the past four years as First Night Noblesville. The Wafford Theater also will screen “Finding Nemo.”

about the book “I wanted to have a male (Simmons) and female (Jacqui) character so that both boys and girls could have someone they could relate to,” author Jeanna Janes said. “My brother says the female character is very much like me, but that was completely a subconscious thing. The male character is very calm, laid back and very sure about things, and she (the female character) comes across very strong, but not obnoxiously strong. In the storyline, Jacqui’s grandfather passes away, and her mother inherits a journal, and there’s a secret inside the journal.”

Author Jeanna Janes uses life experience, young illustrator to complete first novel

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com At 44, Jeanna Janes jokes that she now knows what she wants to be when she grows up – an author.

After working three-and-a-half years cover story on her first novel, Janes celebrated the recent premiere of “Seas Apart” Dec. 16 at a book-signing event at The Wild Bookstore in downtown Noblesville at 884 Logan St. Alongside her was her illustrator, Sammy Shertzer, a 14-yearold Noblesville High School freshman who began working with Janes in January, marking her first professional illustration gig at just 13.

Janes said she’s known Shertzer nearly her entire life.

Shertzer’s mother and Janes were in Mom’s Club together.

“My mom was just like, ‘Do you want to illustrate a book?’”

Shertzer said. “This is my favorite thing that I’ve done. I really like art, and I haven’t really had a school art class until this year, but I really love it.”

Shertzer said she works primarily in two-dimensional media.

The book cover was done in watercolor, but a map inside the book was done in pencil. Each chapter illustration was done in pen.

“I really wanted her vision,” Janes said. “So I said, ‘Read the chapter. If something stands out to you, that’s what I want that chapter image to be.’ Every chapter has a different image.

I wanted it to be from someone her age, because that’s who the novel is intended for. It took me a year to write it, and a year after that to work with a couple of different editors and teachers. Then I started talking to Sammy about illustrating.”

Janes said she was inspired by her late grandfather to write the book.

“I started the book right after my grandfather passed away, when I was 40, and my grandfather was always very creative and liked to build things and make things,” she said. “I was a theater major, and he always wanted me to be a painter. So after he died, I thought, you know, there has to be some way to channel all of this creativity, and I just started writing with no purpose, no goal in sight … just when someone passes away, that emotion is there. I didn’t sit down and plan it, but

it evolved to where I really started enjoying it and creating the characters and the story, and then I realized I had something.”

Now, Janes is working on promoting the book locally and nationally, selling the book on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble’s websites. In 2017, the book will be sold in Barnes & Noble stores.

Janes also has begun working on an outline for the second book in the series, and Shertzer will return as its illustrator.

“I think book two will go much faster because now I understand a lot more about the process,” she said. “I already have a lot of ideas, and I can bring Sammy in earlier (to begin illustrations).”

As far as a timeline, Janes said she isn’t sure when the next book will be printed or published.

“It would be nice to have (book two) out by this time next year, but that’s very optimistic,” she said.

meet the author • Career: Was a theater major in college. Formerly worked as a registered nurse. Has been PTO president and a volunteer at White River Elementary for the past 10 years, where she served on the Safe Schools Committee. She is now an author.

• Residence: Is a native of Kentucky. Has lived in Noblesville since 2004.

• Family: Married to husband Brian for 18 years. Together they have two kids: Cole, 14, is a freshman at Noblesville High School, and Clay, 11, is a sixth grader at East Middle School.

In the coming weeks, Janes said she will present “Seas Apart” at a few schools, and at the beginning of the year will have a book-signing event with Barnes & Noble.

“The big thing about us is that you’re never too old to fulfill a dream, and you’re never too young.”

Unscheduled calendar crisis

FR O M T HE backshop

Have hope as ’17 dawns Here we are - some would say thankfully - nearing the end of 2016. For our community, it mostly was a fine year, especially in terms of progressive growth and development as well as infrastructure improvements we couldn’t have imagined even 10 years ago. Our “world” is changing, and it is doing so for the better, we believe. Outside the local environs it was tumultuous, to say the least. The presidential election was a shock to many on both sides of the aisle, but the run-up to Nov. 8 was a war-torn effort that was equally, if not more so, a train wreck. We once termed primary season a clown show; that didn’t do it justice.

With apologies to our soon-to-be former first lady who said she doubts otherwise, we all should retain some sense of hope that what is wrong in our midst will be made whole at some point soon. Without hope, what is there? We prefer to not even contemplate that. In life, we’re often told to play the hand we’re dealt, and doing so really is as simple as this equation: E+R=O, or event plus response equals outcome. We believe if you seek the bad, probably it will be bad, and if you seek the good, probably it will be good. People have pointed fingers at us for focusing on “bad things.” We do that on occasion in the interest of protecting our readers’ rights. So as we prepare to turn yet another calendar page, we’re hoping for the good - with stability - and all things growth in 2017. Here’s to you, and Happy New Year from all of us at Current Publishing.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

A drop of whiskey Commentary by Terry Anker Often, when meeting a person of some renown, we are deeply disappointed. Yet, in other precious encounters, our already high expectations are exceeded and overcome by the distinctive and important comportment of our hero. Such was the occasion in a recent exchange with famed author and television commentator Doris Kearns Goodwin. With best-selling books including “Team of Rivals” on Abraham Lincoln and “The Bully Pulpit” about Theodore Roosevelt, Goodwin is a bona fide success story. She has earned a place as the preeminent commentator on the American presidency and its place in our culture — and that of the modern and evolving world.

Thanks to the annual legislative conference of law firm Bingham Greenbaum and Doll, The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site and Indiana Humanities hosted an interview and discussion with Goodwin during her recent visit. Invited to moderate the talk, I had occasion to interact and see her in action. Affable and open, she reflected on what

history can teach us regarding expansive current topics, including our natural desire to leave a legacy, the impact of fake news and the importance of common understanding to effective communication.

Goodwin spoke honestly about her concerns for our present — and for our future.

We considered the general loss of confidence in the institutions upon which we’ve built the very foundations of our nation. She told stories that gave us pause, and confidence, that the future is ours to shape. But we must hang on to a bit of humor to get us through the difficult patches. Goodwin quoted her most famous subject, Abraham Lincoln, thusly, “A good story is better than a drop of whiskey.” She has a point. But then again, doesn’t it depend on the story and, more importantly, on the whiskey?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, ‘It will be happier.’

Alfred Lord Tennyson

The unthinkable has happened, people.

I’ve lost my calendar! My reliable, omnipotent, executive planner is humor GONE. And though I’m pretty sure it’s sitting on a shelf next to clearance candles at Bed Bath & Beyond, a phone call proved otherwise.

What am I to do?

I’m not exaggerating when I say that calendar is the only reason this family functions at a reasonably acceptable level. Appointments, practices, rehearsals, meetings, birthdays, games, competitions, parties, deadlines, surgeries, anniversaries — every single detail of our lives are in that calendar. In fact, if something fails to be placed in “the calendar,” it’s essentially dead to us.

It won’t be remembered, and it certainly won’t happen. It just won’t.

So I’m in full panic mode. I know two visits to the orthodontists are coming up, but I’m not sure which day or for which kid.

I also know January has eight family birthdays, and apart from my twin sister’s and my niece’s on the same day, I’ve got nothing! Sweet mercy, what am I to do?

Of course, my oldest thinks I’m silly for trusting such a monumental task to pen and paper when my phone could act more efficiently — and with better back-up capabilities. But I’m not going to lie. I look forward to sitting down at the start of each January and planning the year out. I like seeing how close spring break is. I like flipping to July and penciling in a prospective beach vacation. I like discovering what day Halloween falls on, and then considering whether a personal day will be in order. The experience isn’t the same on a Samsung 6.

More importantly, though, I love that my old calendars serve as physical reminders of the memories my family makes throughout the years. To know that when my kids grow up and have children of their own, I’ll be able to pull out 2016 and tell them all about their dad’s broken nose or their mom’s marching band championship. So I have to find that calendar. The alternative is unthinkable.

Peace out.

Where’s Amy attends Central Indiana Dance Ensemble’s Nutcracker tea and performance Nothing beats attending a special tea party with a Sugar Plum Fairy and Nutcracker, and Where’s Amy was there to experience the magic and fun. Central Indiana Dance Ensemble hosted a tea party for guests before their outstanding performance of “The Nutcracker” at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center. The dancing, choreography and entire stage production was top-notch. I loved watching the little girl sitting next to me beam with excitement as she watched the famous ‘Nutcracker Battle’ and classic ‘Kingdom of Sweets’ dance scenes. It was a fantastic treat to see guest artist and Carmel native Jacob Pringle, along with Nick Posluszny (Carmel), Murphy Brazzell (Sheridan) and Lily Fife (Westfield) and 117 dancers, representing 49 schools in central Indiana. If you missed CIDE’s “The Nutcracker,” don’t worry, you can see it March at the Mixed Rep Concert and Silent Auction at the Tarkington Theatre.

Each summer, the Great American Songbook Foundation brings together 40 of the nation’s top high school vocalists for its weeklong Songbook Academy and competition. Only concert one is named Songbook Youth Ambassador for the coming year, performing with Foundation founder Michael Feinstein at such venues as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center.

At 8 p.m. Jan. 7, 2017, for the first time the foundation will welcome back all seven of its previous Ambassadors when the Center for the Performing Arts presents the inaugural Songbook Academy All-Stars concert, a special evening of music at the Palladium in Carmel. Tickets are on sale at TheCenterPresents.org/tickets.

The performers, most of whom have launched professional careers even while still in high school or college, include: • Julia Bonnett (2009) • Annie Yokom (2010) • Nick Ziobro (2012) • Julia Goodwin (2013) • Maddie Baillio (2014) • Lucas DeBard (2015) • Brighton Thomas (2016) Backed by bass, drums and DeBard Bonnett piano, the singers will perform solo and in duets and trios, performing tunes that represent their current careers as well as their original Songbook Academy performances. The Songbook Academy is the nation’s only summer music intensive for high school students that focuses solely on the timeless popular music of the early- to mid-20th century, including jazz standards, Broadway and Hollywood tunes and classic compositions by the great Tin Pan Alley songwriters.

The participants, selected from hundreds of applicants nationwide, participate in workshops and master classes with world-class mentors, including Broadway veterans, Grammy winners, Emmy winners and educators from top college arts programs, led by five-time Grammy nominee Feinstein. The final competition performance takes place in the state-of-the art, acoustically superior Palladium concert hall for an audience of more than 1,000. Next year’s Songbook Academy will take place July 15-22, 2017, at the Palladium in Carmel.

Ruins of Shobak Castle Commentary by Don Knebel A Crusader castle approximately 130 miles south of Amman, Jordan, proved impenetrable but nonetheless vulnerable. Its travel capture ended with an unexpected gesture of wartime kindness.

On July 15, 1099, knights of the First Crusade captured Jerusalem from the Muslims and established the Kingdom of Jerusalem. In 1115, Baldwin I, the first king of Jerusalem, built an imposing stone fortress atop an isolated conical mountain east of the Jordan River to control trade between Damascus and the Red Sea. Named Krak de Montreal (Castle of the Royal Mountain) to reflect the king’s contribution to its construction, the fortress marked the eastern dividing line between Christian and Muslim territories. Because of its design and location, Krak de Montreal withstood a number of assaults. In 1187, after recapturing Jerusalem, Saladin began an 18-month siege of the fortress. Starving defenders exchanged their wives and children for food and reportedly went blind from lack of salt. Running out of both food and wives, the Christians surrendered in May 1189. Saladin, known both for his skill in battle and magnanimity in victory, repatriated the wives and children.

Shobak Castle in Jordan. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Mamelukes modified the fortress in the 14th century, and it gradually fell into disrepair.

The partially restored fortress, now known as Shobak Castle after its name in Arabic, lies in a still remote region along the highway that connects Amman to the Gulf of Aqaba. Visitors can see the remains of two churches from the Crusader period and large rocks used in unsuccessful efforts to attack the fortress with catapults.

Anyone wanting to see a Crusader castle with an interesting history, Shobak Castle should be on the list.
