charity Warm Up America.Other activities included roofing people’s houses,

staining a fence outside the Noblesville United Soc-cer Field, running a Kid’s Day Camp and collecting and organizing items for a Community Giveaway on June 28.

Serve Noblesville also gives churches of different denominations a chance to work together, Propst said, despite conflicting theologies.

“Serve Noblesville is an opportunity,” he said, “to see that the churches in the community are more interested in focusing on the things that we agree upon as opposed to focusing on the things that we don’t agree upon.”

To end the week, Serve Noblesville hosted a celebration for all who volunteered. The celebration occurred at Forest Park on June 29, dinner included. The park pool also was open.

The celebration, Propst said, gave people the chance to socialize with friends they made during the week – this time without the work.

“It’s not just about going and working and sweat-ing,” he said. “It’s really about building relationships with your neighbor and the people that are in your community.”

A lot of movies want to seem edgy and dark, but for the most part they’re pretenders, inching up to the line of actual rebelliousness and then backing away with a smirk. “Bad Words” is not one of them.

Volunteers work to 'Serve Noblesville'

SErvICE

By Navar Watson • [email protected]

Serve Noblesville held their third annual week of service June 25 through 29, and churches and orga-

nizations all gathered with one goal in mind – to “connect compassionate neighbors.”

“I think most people think that they are compas-sionate, but it’s often difficult to find avenues to (show that),” said Patrick Propst, lead pastor at Faith Community Church. “We’re kind of creating the environment where people can express their compassion.”

Volunteers expressed this compassion by be-friending their fellow volunteers and hearing the stories of the people they served, he said.

Serve Noblesville changed its days from Monday through Friday to Wednesday through Saturday this year, Propst said, in hopes of getting more volun-teers on the weekend. They had lower numbers last year because many of the churches had previous commitments the same week.

This year, Serve Noblesville had 167 volunteers on Wednesday and 142 on Thursday, collecting more than 2,000 volunteer hours in two days.

One of the program’s partners, Vision Noblesville, works to increase volunteerism in the city. Manager Cindy Benedict said efforts like Serve Noblesville are “great because they have opportunities for the entire family to volunteer.”

Those who couldn’t do the more physical volun-teer activities stayed at the fairgrounds and helped with “Crafts with a Cause,” Benedict said. Here they sewed, crocheted or did non-sewing crafts that went to help people in the community and outside the U.S.

This year, they made T-shirt dresses and baby blankets for Panama, fleece blankets for veterans and nursing home patients, and yarn squares for the

Art Fair on the Square – The annual Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission event is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 2 on the courthouse square. With less than a month to go, nationally known art-ists are feverishly creating ceramics, jewelry, textiles, woodworking’s, photography, glass-works and all types of paintings and prints to sell in their mini “galleries on the go.” By mid July, NCAC will create a Pinterest bulletin board highlighting samples of the artists’ creations which will be available for purchase. For more information, contact chairwoman Lesley Haflich at [email protected] or 289-5235.

Honor roll – Noblesville High School has re-leased the names of the students who achieved the All “A” and A/B honor roll. To see which stu-dents made the lists, visit www.currentnobles-ville.com.

Venue change – The remaining Noblesville Parks summer concerts will be held at For-est Park Shelter 1. Upcoming concerts include Zanna-Doo!, July 10; Jordan Carter, July 17; 8 Miles High, July 24; and Paul Butler as “Elvis,” July 31. The Dave and Rae concert that was canceled due to inclement weather on June 19 has been rescheduled to Aug. 7.

After morning devotion, volunteers for Serve Noblesville line up under which activity they would like to do. Activities spanned from roof work and staining fences to making crafts for people in the community.

Throughout July, Westfield artist Kristin Whit-ney is displaying her “Chromatic Canyon” series

at the Noblesville Visitors Center, 839 Conner St.

The “Chromatic Canyon” is a series of six oil paintings, each of which ab-stracted from photos Whitney took of the Grand Canyon from her various visits.

“I just want to be able to provide [the audi-ence] with something really different,” she said. “Something that brings a lot of life and energy.”

Every month the visitor’s center features an artist from the Hamilton County Artists’ As-sociation. Whitney said many artists in Indiana specialize in painting Indiana landscapes that “look exactly like what you would see.” With her art, she hopes the audience will have an idea of what the landscape is, but it will still be enough of a “mystery” to draw them in.

Using bright colors, Whitney hopes to capture the “energy” of the Grand Canyon that other art-ists do not seem to portray.

“I want to show people the way that God can see it,” she said. “(It’s) this vibrant, exciting place.”

She said she feels called to produce this type of artwork and dreams of seeing her work in a New York gallery someday.

Whitney holds a degree in graphic design from Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. For the

Artist shows series on Grand Canyon

past year and a half, she’s pursued art full time.For those interested in pursuing art as a ca-

reer, Whitney says, “Just be confident.”“If you really feel like this is what you want to

do, don’t listen to what anybody else says,” she said. “Just pursue it with all your heart.”

Whitney now plans to finish a series she be-gan in January but had to postpone due to her work on the “Chromatic Canyon.” This next series focuses on the different seasons and colors as-sociated with them.

The “Chromatic Canyon” will be on display for all of July.

When I knew I was going to have knee replacement surgery, I wanted to have all my plans finalized in advance. That’s why I checked in to Westminster Village North for post-surgery rehabilitation. My brand new private rehab suite was like I was staying in a nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. And the physical therapists are amazing. The new state-of-the-art equipment helped me get back on my feet quickly.

Now Alex and I enjoy our walks again.

Elected officials from across Hamilton County and the state gathered together at Noblesville

City Hall to discuss a growing issue in the community on July 1. U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) and State

Sen. Jim Merritt brought together those on the front lines of the Indiana drug war, in order to discuss the state’s increased heroin epidemic.

“If society doesn’t see this as a problem they’re in for a huge wake-up call very soon,” Hamilton Country Sheriff Mark Bowen said.

Brooks began the discussion by telling the panel, “I want to learn from you all what you are seeing,” acknowledging that heroin is “not just a big city problem.”

The talk about the gateway to heroin is easy to attain, and most of the time is sitting in young people’s homes. Abuse of different prescription medicines is often the beginning of heroin ad-diction. In a study done by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 81 percent of heroin users started with prescrip-tions. The pharmacists on the panel noted that they have seen an increase in pharmacy thefts.

The fear is that dealers are getting young peo-ple hooked on prescription drugs and then turn-ing them to heroin when their prescription habit gets too expensive. Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings said that prison sentence times, a maximum of six years for these dealers,

Leaders discuss heroin growth

is too short to deter them from the drugs. “The answer from the state is ‘put less people

in prison,’” Cummings said. “The federal govern-ment could help out significantly.”

Indianapolis Police Chief Rick Hite, who said he has seen this problem grow, also said, “We have to look at the root causes.”

Catching dealers and increasing their penal-ties as well as detoxing and rehabbing users is the first step, but it seems to be easier said than done, and it all takes money. Lack of federal funds in the different departments combatting this crisis was the biggest grievance.

“We’re going to go back and see what we should be focusing on,” Brooks said in closing, hoping that the meeting would bring awareness in the community.

At 5 p.m., the dancing begins. Noblesville DJ Gene Ott will start off the evening on the main stage. Back by popular demand will be The Bishops, playing dance hits from the ’70s up to today’s No. 1 hits from 7:30 to 11 p.m.

Blanch L. Matherly, 73, of Noblesville, died July 1, 2014, at her home surrounded by her family. Born April 23, 1941, in Louisville, Ky., she was the daughter of Elbert and Hester (Cravens) Lacey.

Helen Musselman, 99, has been involved with the Hamilton County 4-H program for 78 years.

Her 75 years as a Ham-ilton County Extension Homemaker was recently

celebrated during the organization’s year of achievements on June 26.

“To me, 4-H is the most wonderful organiza-tion there is. I try to encourage everybody to belong to 4-H,” she said. “They learned by doing and had to complete projects.”

Musselman started as an adult volunteer in 1936 when she moved back to Noblesville, where she was born, after living and going to school in Detroit.

“My sister belonged to 4-H so I took her there. We were a group of country women that became a homemaker’s extension club, and we all were really active until we got old,” Musselman said. “We had a lot of fun in a lifetime. It’s been a lot of work, but it’s fun.”

Musselman said the girls clubs specialized in home economics topics, but were not strictly sewing and cooking or baking. She said other skills included making soap, redoing furniture, canning food at churches, etching glass and

DISPATCHES

The Hamilton County Extension Homemakers celebrated a year of achievements on June 26 at the Ham-ilton County 4-H Fairgrounds by “Blowing their Horns.”

Most residents think of natural gas as a fuel source to heat their homes or stoves. While

compressed natural-gas cars have been zipping

around foreign highways for years, for the first time in Central Indiana an emer-gency vehicle will travel the roads as the Noblesville Police Dept. is trying out the alternative fuel.

“We’re excited to be able to do this experiment. At the end of the day we’re doing it as a business decision,” Police Chief Kevin Jowitt said. “We’re just trying to look at any way we can spend less money. Vehicles are how we delivery

our services. We have to have police officers out in vehicles. For that reason, it is a consistent function but an expensive function.”

Jowitt said the city was approached by a com-pany that retrofits vehicles for compressed natural gas.

“We didn’t have it on our radar at all simply because we hadn’t thought about it,” he said. “There is a potential that if CNG works for the police department that we could achieve a pretty significant cost savings on fuel.”

Jowitt said a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe was retro-fitted with CNG – and certified by the EPA – at no cost to the city in order for the department to do research. He said the trial period will last three to

four months.“We’re trying to rotate it through the divisions,” Cpt.

Brad Arnold said.The NPD patrol fleet has

54 vehicles and approxi-mately 50 to 60 percent are Tahoes.

“Resale is high,” Jowitt said, adding the Tahoe

seems to be a better value. “There’s more space. Officers keep caring more and more equipment.”

The department received the vehicle on June 27.

“I don’t notice any differ-ence (in performance) at

all,” Arnold said. “There’s less emissions, it’s en-

vironmentally friendly – one of the greener things that we have in the city.”

Arnold said the department used 94,000 gallons of

gasoline in 2013. He said NPD purchases

fuel at the Hamilton

County Co-op at the market rate; however, the de-partment does not have to pay taxes which save approximately 30 cents per gallon. Arnold said patrol fleet vehicles use 100 gallons per month.

CNG costs approximately $1.05 per gallon – about one-third that of gasoline – and has more stability in its prices.

“That’s the big question: ‘How much do you budget for fuel?’At any point there can be a huge swing up or down,” Arnold said.

“It reduces our dependency on foreign oil,” Jowitt said. “Natural gas prices are

flat lined and we have a very adequate reserve in the United States.”

CNG also is a safer alternative than fuel. Jow-itt said the 12-gallon storage tank is incased in Kevlar and takes up a 2-foot by 2-foot area in the trunk. In case of an accident, the system has re-dundancy features to limit leaking and its vapors evaporate quicker than gasoline.

“Natural gas is less volatile than gas. It’s harder for CNG to light or explode,” Jowitt said. “There’s a release should it be compromised. It is a safer vehicle than what they are driving now.”

While a CNG engine runs on natural gas, the vehicle is still powered by gasoline – making it a duel fuel vehicle.

“If the throttle is speeding at more than 80 percent the engine automatically cuts back over to gasoline,” he said.”If the CNG tank goes empty, it automatically cuts over.”

While the county has proposed plans to build a natural gas fueling station and purchase non-emergency CNG vehicles, the current closest station is on the southeast side of Indianapolis. To make Noblesville’s trial easier, a temporary slow-fill station compressor has been installed at the street department annex. Arnold said the com-pressor roughly provides a gallon of fuel per hour.

“It takes eight to nine hours for fuel. You plug the car in and fuel it overnight,” he said.

Arnold said the vehicle will receive “real time use.”

“Every two weeks it will rotate to a different officer,” he said. “I’m definitely eager to look at the numbers to see how we did.”

What´s Next?In addition to testing out compressed natural gas vehicles, Police Chief Kevin Jowitt said the department is looking to purchase a smart car for parking enforcement. Jowitt said the new vehicle utilizes license plate reading technology.“It will completely eliminate chalking of tires,” he said. “The officer just drives the row of cars.”Jowitt said the smart car is safer to the of-ficer doing the parking enforcement because they do not have to reach out or leave the vehicle unless writing a ticket. He said the camera system scans the license plates and can tell how long they have been in the same location electronically.“Parking is a pretty significant topic in Noblesville. We want to make sure that we are doing our job as efficiently as we can and meeting the differing needs of downtown users,” he said.Jowitt said the vehicle will cost in a year the same amount of money that the current en-forcement scooter costs for a month.“It’s the most expense vehicle in our fleet, including four-wheel drive Tahoes. It doesn’t get good mileage” said Cpt. Brad Arnold. “A lot of police departments are using them (smart cars) for a variety of different things. Jowitt expects to purchase the smart car later this year.

The Noblesville Police Dept. plans to replace the current parking enforcement scooter later this year with a new smart car.

of another person or thing by taking it away? If we miss it, does that feeling set its value? Over time for me, the approach has proven a fairly effective guide. There is so much – some might call it baggage – that we carry along either be-cause we are afraid to let it go or, perhaps even more tragically, because we forget that we even have it. The habit of pruning is a good one. But, the ability to discern what matters from what doesn’t can be tricky.

Can we ever really expect to find happiness if we don’t leave the unnecessary luggage at bag-gage claim? I tend to carry more than is required. It may be time to shake out my emotional hoard and decide what’s worth keeping. A lighter load sounds most appealing.

Commentary by Terry Anker

Sometimes, I imagine that my parents must have been clairvoyant. They warned of the inevitable turns that my life’s path might take decades before they happened. Their advice could not have imagined the form that my family or career might adopt, yet I constantly reflect on their insight and am amazed by their prescience. How do the things that we learned as kids come back to us over and over again as adults?

Perhaps our folks simply tapped into the hu-man inevitability of natural pattern and were only passing to us the truisms of a lifetime of experience. The basis of our civilization, some would say, is fully vested in each of us by the time that we enter the first grade. Be nice. Don’t take something that doesn’t belong to you. Care for those weaker and lonely. Value one’s inner character more than the desirous objects or even people that come and go from our domain.

Can we determine the importance to one’s life

It was a heartening 5-4 vote last week by which the United States Supreme Court ruled public-sector unions in Illinois are forbidden from collecting fees from home-health care workers who don’t want to be part of a union. If there was a failing in the decision, it is that it is limited to health-care workers and not all public-sector unions. Justices sadly abjured the opportunity to curb the act of public-sector unions passing representation costs to non-members. The decision, though, has registered as a setback for unions in Illinois and similarly minded states that force home-health care workers to unjustifiably hand over union dues. We believe it should be extended to the entirety of union members nationwide. A closed shop should not exist, for such an entity obliterates freedom on multiple levels. If someone wants to join a union and pay dues, that’s a personal choice. Labor unions argued, though, that if Illinois is allowed to back out of its collective-bargaining agreement with the union, it would only be a matter of time before workers see their wages cut and benefits dropped. And there it is, a scare tactic. Union leaders are said to also fear conservative judges across the nation using the ruling to strike down laws in 26 states that require public-sector employees, such as teachers and police officers, to fork over dues to the unions that negotiate contracts on their behalf even if the employee doesn’t want to become a union member. And as for unions protecting mem-bers’ employment positions, in our experiences we’ve never witnessed a worker with a poor performance record have his or her job “saved by the union” - although we’re not so naive as to think it doesn’t happen, because we’re certain it does. Regardless, it all boils down to this with respect to union leadership and its trailing zealots: Liberals don’t really care what you do as long as it’s compulsory.

High court sendsa clear message

Sleepless in summer readings

“What torments of grief you endured, from evils that never arrived.”

- Ralph Waldo Emmerson

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

I haven’t slept well in a week thanks to my stupid idea to encourage my kids to read this

summer. Like most parents, I am constantly nagging my children to put down the “electronical”

devices (as my 10-year-old calls them) and pick up a book. Generally they laugh in my face or offer lame excuses like, “I have to read at school. I need a break!” But with two months of salt mine vacation and loads of free time, that pretext no longer applies.

Normally I read fantasy, but my summer default is fluff romance, specifically Nora Rob-erts. Easy reading and just enough smut to whisk me away from suburban parenting. This year, however, I decided to expand my perus-ing to other genres in hopes of inspiring the aforementioned anti-literary offspring. Perhaps they would even read along with me!

I began with The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien. A student had left it in my classroom, a by-product of his AP World Lit course, so I assumed it was at least decent. Plus, the cover implied a supernatural vibe, like maybe what soldiers carried with them into the af-terlife? No. The pseudo-memoir focuses on the dual nature of fighting in Vietnam, both the horrible and the beautiful. A far, far cry from Nora, and definitely not an uplifting escape from my soccer mom life. Plus, too many F-bombs for a family book club.

Next up, The Fault in Our Stars. I went into this one knowing it would be sad – my young-est had just finished it – but what I didn’t anticipate was the perfectly injected humor. Somehow this made the story “real” for me. So not only did I empathize with the main characters, as a mom I could also relate to the grieving parents. Double depressing! Another two nights of disturbing dreams and crying-induced headaches, added to a sex talk with my fifth-grader I was not prepared for.

I am now on my latest book, one I was sure would not leave me miserable, Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep. WRONG! It’s a sequel to The Shining, with the protagonist being Jack Nicholson’s now-grown-up son who is trying to overcome his alcoholism despite still seeing dead people. A captivating premise, but one that’s leaving me scared poo-less to use the bathroom at 3:30 a.m. I’d put it down, but in the daylight it’s awesome!

Nevertheless, I need sleep. I’ll be returning to Nora ASAP and my kids can go back to their dumb electronicals. I’ve changed my mind on this summer reading thing. Peace out.

Could you use a summer evening out with your friends? Singers Jennie DeVoe and Carrie Newcomer hope to provide listeners with

music that anyone can enjoy at the free Fishers Amp After Dark concert series.

Growing up surrounded by music, it was only natural for DeVoe to de-velop a musical interest at an early age. Influenced by greats like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Etta James, DeVoe said she tries to infuse old and new music with folk lyrics in a way that would appeal to any age group.

As far as new music goes she said she is influenced by unique voices like Adele and Imagine Dragons, but during her career she has opened for singers like Bonnie Raitt, Jack Johnson and Ray Charles.

DeVoe would describe her genre of music as Americana soul music. But her goal is to write good lyrical content and paint a picture for her audience.

At every show DeVoe tries to mix a set list of her original songs and a few covers depend-ing on what she feels the audience wants to hear at that particular concert.

“If you are a performer at heart there is something inside you that urges you to please the audience,” DeVoe said.

That’s why she doesn’t believe she has ever stuck to an exact set list.DeVoe recently released her newest album Radiator – which she pro-

duced with John Parish in England. Radiator was her third collaboration with Parish, who is most well-

known for his work with singer PJ Harvey. They also plan on producing and recording a new album together in the spring of 2015.

When she is not working on her music, DeVoe is very passionate about animal rights. She supports messages that get people to ulti-

mately think about the care of their own pets. DeVoe gave her song “Give a little love” to Pet-Pals TV to use with their programming.

She is also is passionate about the treat-ment of farm animals.

“Even if they ultimately go to the butcher, they still deserve to have a happy and healthy life,” DeVoe said.

Singer songwriter Carrie New-comer said she has been influ-enced by all kinds of music, but she always comes back to classic singing poets.

Newcomer has received a Grammy for writing the song “I Should Have Known Better.” The band Nickel Creek got a Grammy for

performing this song on their This Side album. She describes herself as an acoustic

singer/songwriter influenced by Joanie Mitchell and Paul Simon.Newcomer has played concerts all over the

country, but she says that Indiana is her favorite outdoor venue.

“There is nothing like an outdoor Indiana summer concert,” she said.

By Joseph Knoop • [email protected]

Legendary R&B group, The O’Jays, with more than 50 charted songs and 24 top-10 hits, will

perform at the Palladium on July 13, bringing more than 50 years of experience to the stage.

The group, formed in Canton, Ohio, in 1958, was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

A stable of songs like “Back Stabbers,” “Love Train” and “For the Love of Money” propelled them to stardom throughout the late 1960s and ‘70s.

Original member Eddie Levert, born in Alabama and raised in Canton, feels like the Midwest has a special quality to it.

“It’s always really great to play the home base and come back to where it all started,” Levert said. “It’s always a gratifying feeling. You take the abuse of running from hotel to hotel, jumping on airplanes. You get home and everybody acts like you’re the hero. They know you so well.”

Despite touring and recording for the better part of a century, Levert knows there’s always room for a hilarious error or two. In a momentary lapse of memory, Levert happened to forget the words to one of the songs he’d been singing for decades while performing in St. Petersburg, Fla.

“The best part is you’re mumbling, so you yell to the audience, ‘Sing it with me!’” Levert said.

Despite rare incidents like that, Levert feels the audience knows what they’re there for.

“Hit records are hit records,” Levert said. “They want to hear that record and hear you sing it like that. If you can put a bit of movement in it, they appreciate that.”

Levert, along with fellow band member Walter Williams founded The O’Jays Foundation shortly after their Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame induction. The foundation provides scholarships for high school, college and even non-traditional adult students.

Levert claims that similar assistance and music education helped launch his career as a musician.

“I think it is one of the atrocities when they cut it out of school, where you could go and kids could learn an instrument,” Levert said. “Of

The O’Jays have continued to build a new genera-tion of fans decade after decade. (Submitted photo)

O’Jays still wowing audiences

course, that’s where I got most of my teach-ing, from fourth grade, making me sing from my diaphragm. These people taught me how to read music, per se. It was a terrible thing when they cut music out of school. Kids need that. They need that to make school interesting.”

The Indiana Wind Symphony has announced its 2014-15 season concert schedule and it will

feature the works of a wide variety of composers and performers.

The Indiana Wind Symphony will perform “Bicentennials – The Star Spangled Ban-ner and the Saxophone,” on Sept. 27, with saxo-phone virtuoso Kenneth Tse.

“I’m really excited to have Tse as the soloist,” said Charles Conrad, director of the Indiana Wind Symphony. “I think he’s one of the really brilliant wind players in the world.”

The show will be a tribute of sorts in celebra-tion of Adolph Sax, inventor of the saxophone. The performance will also feature the works of John Philip Sousa and Frank Ticheli.

Pianist Kelleen Strutz will join the symphony for a performance dedicated to heroism on Nov. 15, featuring John Williams’ “Summon the Heroes,” and Rachmaninoff’s “Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor.”

The holidays won’t want for music, either. Soprano Jessamyn Anderson, along with Santa and Mrs. Clause will join the symphony for rendi-tions of “O Holy Night” and “A Christmas Festival” on Dec. 6.

Fans of witches, wizards, fantasy and Broad-way will be treated to the songs of “Wicked,” William’s “Harry Potter” suite, and “The Lord of the Rings” on Feb. 21. Classic hymns, such as

Commentary by Kathleen Connelly

Last week I was grocery shopping with my 3-year-old and out of the blue she asks,

“Can you buy me an iPad?” What? I laughed a little but she was serious and I think

most kids are when they ask their parents for some type of electronic device.

We live in a world now that kids use com-puters, iPads, e-readers, TVs, video games and cellphones. Wow, that is a lot! Yes, some devices can be used for educational means and the HSE school district currently has an initiative to have each student have their own iPad. However, maybe it is all too much? If kids are using all of these electronics, when are they playing? When are they being active indoors or outdoors? I remember play-ing outside until our parents made us come in for dinner but today it seems that most kids are inside in front of a screen.

A study done in 2010 by the Kaiser Foun-dation found the following daily media use results for 8- to 18-year-olds:

• Approximately 7.5 hours using enter-tainment media

• Approximately 4.5 hours watching TV • Approximately 1.5 hours on the

computer • Over an hour playing video games Of course there is a lot of value in all of

the technical advances we have made over the last 50 years but I do think our kids’, even parents’, daily activity is suffering. Can you think of a day that you or your kids didn’t have any screen time at all? So my challenge is for you to reduce screen time starting today!

Some suggestions from www.mayoclinic.com only have electronics in common areas of the house and don’t use screen time as a reward. Another suggestion which I love is to have certain times or days that there is no screen time at all. What would your kids do if there was one day a week that there was no iPad, no DSI or no TV?

If you have kids under 5-years-old, take advantage of the PlayFULL Hours programs in Fishers. Older kids can use one of the basketball courts at Holland Memorial Park. For the whole family, rent a kayak at Saxony Beach or visit the Monon Community Center in Carmel for water slides. Take the chal-lenge and see what new adventures your family can have this summer without the TV or iPad.

Reduce screen time today

Local McAlister’s has best service

ACHIEvEMENT


McAlister’s Deli in the Hamilton Town Center has added an eighth plaque to their shelf of awards

after winning first place in Highest Overall Customer Satisfaction for McAlister’s

Delis across the nation. This is the third year in a row the Noblesville location has won the award, trumping some 320 other stores in the U.S.

“Anticipating the guests’ needs is our number one priority,” General Manager Steve Hon said. “Hot food. Quick service. We just try to win them – give them that ‘wow’ factor.”

The McAlister’s Deli National Conference is an annual event recognizing its stores and their ac-complishments. This year, Indiana locations won four of the 12 awards given.

McAlister’s corporate office measures custom-er satisfaction through online surveys, Hon said, which asks customers a series of questions about their dining experience.

Hon said Noblesville management rewards its staff at least once per week to show their appreciation for the staff’s hard work and good customer service. The rewards range from ice cream for the staff to bowling nights.

Assistant General Manger Michael Pratt said the store’s employees are the main contributors to customer satisfaction.

“The more staff we have, I think the better the satisfaction,” Pratt said. “They take care of people. We try to make everybody feel as special

as we can.”“I treat my guests like family,” said Tina Burgin,

an employee for three-and-a-half-years. “I want to know them on a personal basis.”

Hon called Burgin the “mom” of McAlister’s in Noblesville, both to her customers and her fellow employees.

“I like to have conversations with (the guests),” she said. “I don’t care what we talk about. I just try to know them personally by name. I want them to feel comfortable when they come in.”

Hon said they are aiming to rank first in over-all customer satisfaction again next year. He said the area of focus now is to get employees to actually greet customers the moment they walk in the door so that they feel noticed.

“That’s what we try to improve on everyday – trying to ‘wow’ the guests,” Pratt said.

The highest overall customer satisfaction for McAlister’s Delis in the nation resides at Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville. (Photo by Navar Watson)

Object and subject pronouns

Jordan Fischer is a contributing columnist for Current Publishing. To ask Jordan a grammar question, write him at [email protected].

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

What is an object pronoun? What’s a sub-ject pronoun? Why are they so confounding to people?

I have no answer for the latter question, but for the first two I think I can help.

First off: What’s a pronoun? A pronoun is a proform that stands in for a noun or noun clause. In the sentence, “I just called John and he is ready to go,” “he” is a pronoun referring to the noun “John.” The noun a pronoun refers to is called the “antecedent.”

For the purpose of this column, pronouns come in two main varieties: subject and object. A subject pronoun is used when it is standing in as the subject of a sentence. An object pronoun is used as the object of a verb or preposition (which, ultimately, is probably the object of a verb).

In English, our subject pronouns are: I; he; she; we; they; and who. Our object pronouns are: me; him; her; us; them; and whom. The pronouns “it,” “you” and “what” can be used as either subject or object pronouns, depending upon the

context.How do you figure out is you need a subject or

object pronoun, though? Ask yourself: Is this pro-noun performing an action, or is it the recipient of an action? A subject performs an action, while an object is acted upon or receives an action.

Let’s consider this example sentence: “Sally threw the football to Megan.” Sally is throwing the football, so she is the subject. Me-gan is receiving the football (i.e. receiving Sally’s action), so she would get an object pronoun. With pronouns substituted, that sentence would look like: “She threw the football to her.”

Try to remember this going forward: I/he/she/we/who/they do things. Things are done to me/him/her/us/whom/them. And if you hear someone misusing pronouns, try to help them. Only you can prevent pronoun abuse.

Spicing up married life – Date nights for married couples: totally cheesy or are they actually a good idea? Calling it date night is cheesier than a bad chick flick, but the occasional night out is a great idea – a ne-cessity even. Just don’t let it become part of your rut. Hit the newest cocktail joints in your area and keep the babysitter up late. Or make out in the car for a while before you head into the house. You’ll inject your relationship with some new life and give yourselves enough fresh memories to carry you through until the next escape. www.womenshealthmag.com

INSIDE & OUT

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING HOME: Located in the Willows subdi-vision in Zionsville, the owners of this home were

tired of their windy and sun exposed back patio area. “Our neighborhood is still under develop-

ment and there are not yet enough homes to block the strong winds. With the sun and winds constantly blowing over our umbrellas, it made it impossible for us to truly enjoy our patio.”

BASEMENT ACCESS: A transition room was added off the kitchen with a staircase leading to the basement. Decorative French doors were added to the design of the transition room - which provides the perfect flow from the kitchen and basement to the backyard patio.

NATURAL LIGHT: Preserving natural light was a priority. Fixed windows were added to the existing hearth room wall, basement wall, and on the exterior wall flanking the French doors. Two large skylights were also added to illuminate the basement stairwell.

SUNROOM DESIGN: To make the room feel bright and open, casement windows were in-stalled around the perimeter of the sunroom giv-ing it an abundant amount of natural light while also allowing the cool breeze to come through the room when opened. Cathedral ceilings also give the room a more spacious and open feel.

CONSISTENT INTERIOR & EXTERIOR FINISH: The addition was designed to give a cohesive look with the existing home. Since the original bricks on the exterior of the home were discon-tinued, new bricks were tinted to perfectly blend with the existing exterior. The interior details were also kept consistent including the rounded wall corners, white painted trim and the antique bronze stairwell balusters.

Four-season addition opens residence up to the outdoors

RESULT: The homeowners are finally able to enjoy the outdoor weather without the headache of sun and strong winds. “We love using the space in the morning. We open up all of the windows, drink coffee, read the paper and listen to the birds sing. It’s the best way to ease into the day.”
