“Frozen” was easily the finest animated flick of 2013, not that the competition was all that keen. It’s a musical with probably the best set of tunes to emerge from the House of Disney since “Beauty in the Beast.” It also won the Oscar for Best Song, “Let It Go,” and eas-ily should have earned one or two more nods in that category.

City building getting upgradesBy Robert Herrington • [email protected]

Major renovations are coming to the Noblesville Public Safety Building as the common council ap-proved a $1.8 million proposal to make necessary

upgrades to the place that houses the city’s police, fire and courts at 135 S. Ninth St.

Maintenance Director Brian Stone said the project will include the removal and installation of a new HVAC system, including the pipes for the closed loop system. The water-based system typically lasts 10 to 15 years according to Stone, and the city’s system is well over 20 years old. Due to the process of remov-ing and adding the system and its component, Stone said it was financially sound to replace the roof at the same time.

“The roof is more than 22 years old,” he said. “With the roof cuts we might as well put a new roof on it for the next 25 years.”

Mayor John Ditslear said he remembers when the building was the city’s post office years ago. It was remodeled in the late 1980s/early 1990s to become the home of public safety.

“Opposed to a new project we can continue to use the building. Every 25 years you will have to put some money into it,” he said.

While renovations are being made, Stone said other minor projects like new secure entrance doors, rekeying the building, and security system will be done at the building.

“Items that needed to be done the last 10 years,” he said.

Stone said bids will open on April 1 and hopes to begin awarding contracts on April 8.

“I’m not expecting a total (project) completion until August,” he said.

Other agenda items of note:Saving money – By refinancing city hall bonds,

Attorney Mike Howard said Noblesville can realize gross savings of $970,706. Howard said the refinanc-ing of the bonds, which run until July 2025, the city can lower the interest rate to 2.34 percent for the next 11.5 years.

Tax phase-in – The council unanimously approved the confirmatory resolution for an economic revital-ization area three-year, 100 percent tax phase-in for ID Castings, 1600 S. Eighth St. Noblesville Economic

Development Director Judi Johnson said ID Castings proposes to purchase and install approximately $31 million worth of new equipment to expand its production capabilities. The company also will spend approximately $20 million on new buildings. The estimated tax abatement savings for the three years is $1,283,400.

“It’s part of the Eighth Street beautification proj-ect and will have a real impact on our community,” Johnson said.

ID Castings purchased the building on Oct. 1. The company has 25 employees and plans to hire an ad-ditional 27 employees with the expansion.

Façade grant changes – The Noblesville Com-mon Council approved Noblesville Economic De-velopment Specialist Alaina Shonkwiler�s request to amend the façade grant ordinance by waiving permit fees of approved projects. Of the 38 façade grant projects since 2008, 13 (four building and nine encroachment) have needed additional permits from the city. Shonkwiler said these fees total $3,600 or $450 a year over the eight years of the program.

“They still apply and fulfill all the regulations for them,” she said, adding each permit still has a speci-fied date and has to be approved by the board of works. “It’s one more thing we can use as an incen-tive for façade grant projects. It’s a small impact on the city but a big one for businesses.”

The Noblesville Boys & Girls Club and park’s department are partnering to provide a “vacation at home” for students ages 7 to 12 on

March 31 through April 4. “It’s the first time for us

to provide a spring break camp,” Noblesville Parks Recreation Director Susie Davis said. “We’re really excited about it. We think it’s going to be fun and a true spring break for the kids that join us.”

The camp runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily with before and after care provided. Cost is $125 and includes all park admission and program fees. Davis said supplementary before and after care is provided from 7:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. for an ad-ditional $25 for the week.

“We really wanted to provide something for the kids that was special instead of hanging out

in a building at the parks or a classroom at a school,” she said.

Davis said the schedule includes trips to vari-ous Noblesville parks (March 31); Indy Islands

Splash Park (April 1); Mounds State Park in Anderson (April 2); Fort Benjamin Har-rison State Park (April 3); and the Discov-ery Center at Eagle Creek Park (April 4).

“In each situation we will have an indoor plan. We won’t cancel trips or programs because we have springtime weather,” Davis said.

Davis said the program has space for 60 children and will include a 1:8 ratio with adults on all trips.

“Most of our day camp counselors spend their year as teachers,” she said.

Children can be signed up through the Nobles-ville Boys & Girls Club if they are members or the parks department at www.noblesvilleparks.org or 770-5750.

Noblesville Main Street is searching for a per-son to oversee the Noblesville Farmers Market and other market expansion events.

In addition to the farmers market, Executive Director Renee Oldham said the orga-

nization is looking for a person(s) to oversee the Thursday Market, Holiday Market and a winter mar-ket, which the organization is looking to create.

“There are wonderful things we are talking about expanding. The Thursday Market will be making some modifications to enhance the expe-rience as well as the farmers market,” she said.

The Noblesville Farmers Market is May 18 through Oct. 4. The market runs 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and the market master should arrive one hour prior to the start and stay about one hour after its conclusion. Oldham said two to four hours per week may be required throughout the market season along with some hours before the season for planning efforts.

Oldham said the organization plans to have a person in place within the next 30 days.

“The market begins mid-May and we’d like to have someone in place by then,” she said.

The market master is responsible for the dad-to-day operation of the Noblesville Farmers Market. The primary objectives are to support vendors while ensuring compliance with market rules and to encourage vendor and customer participation. This position reports directly to Oldham or her designee. The farmers market position pays $2,500 for 250 required hours. The

other markets also provide additional salary.“We could have one to four (market masters).

We prefer one overall person,” Oldham said.Oldham said candidates should “be very orga-

nized, has worked in community building and can work with vendors on following regulations and implementing of market strategies.”

“People skills would be critical and so would organization skills,” she said.

Those interested are asked to send a resume and a letter of interest to Oldhan at [email protected] or Market Master Position, Noblesville Main Street, 839 Conner St., Nobles-ville 46060. Oldham asks candidates to specify which market – or all – they are interested in.

The farmers market season opens May 18. (File photo)

EDUCATION

With the approved changes, Noblesville Schools students will attend school earlier and later than normal. The new times for the remainder of the school year include:

• Early childhood through fifth grade – start time: 8:36 a.m.; end time: 3:35 p.m. and early release end time: 3:05 p.m.

• Grades sixth through 12 – start time: 7:28 a.m.; end time: 2:45 p.m. and early release end time: 2:15 p.m.

[email protected]

The Indiana Dept. of Education and the Nobles-ville Teachers Forum have approved Noblesville Schools’ plan to make up two days of school

by extending the school day. The extended days will begin March 17 and continue

through the end of the school year.The middle school and high school day for

students (grades 6-12) will be extended by 17 minutes (seven minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the afternoon). The elementary school day (early childhood through grade 5) for students will be extended by 14 minutes (four minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the afternoon). Students and parents should plan for buses to arrive the proper amount of time earlier and later as listed above.

With the adjustment in the 2013-14 calendar, the school year will end on June 4 for kindergar-ten through eighth-grade and on May 30 for high school students.

To date, Noblesville Schools has missed six student days because of bad weather. With a waiver granted by the DOE for the day missed on Jan. 7, the school district is required to make up five days. The extended day plan will take care of two of those days. The flex days scheduled for June 2 through 4 will be used for kindergarten through eighth-grade to make up the additional three days that are required. The high school is making up missed days through eLearning in March and April.

Do you know an exemplary volunteer or are you one yourself? Do you volunteer for an out-standing organization that helps many in the

community? If so, Vision No-blesville encour-

ages you to fill out a nomination form at www.visionnoblesville.com.

The City of Noblesville Volunteer Awards program was created by Vision Noblesville and is now celebrating its second year of recognizing Noblesville residents and Noblesville-based organizations that have voluntarily contributed their time and talent to the betterment of others.

Vision Noblesville Manager Cindy Benedict said nominations are currently being sought for this year’s program and will be accepted until April 7.

“We hope this will be a Noblesville tradition to honor the good volunteers in our community and encourage more volunteerism,” she said.

Benedict said the awards were modeled after the governor’s service awards and Noblesville winners are forwarded to the state level.

“Two of our winners won governor’s service awards – Helmer Scientific won the corporate volunteer award and Sue Treida was the faith-based volunteer,” Benedict said. “Out of the nine (awards), we won two in Noblesville.”

Individual volunteers may be nominated in

Honoring those that help othersthe following categories: lifetime achievement; all-around; faith-based; youth; corporate; national service member; and the two new categories of the Dr. Earl Brooks Environmental Award and best green project. In addition to the corporate

category, organizations can be nomi-nated for best green project. Groups and classes may be nominated in the exem-plary service-learning category.

Benedict said a volunteer council consisting of Noblesville residents as well as representatives from local busi-nesses, Vision Noblesville and the City of Noblesville will evaluate all nomina-

tions. Finalists will be honored at the May 28 Noblesville Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Benedict said two of the new green awards will be handed out during the city’s Earth Day Arbor Fest on April 26.

“Competition was a little steep. We were sur-prised at how strong the applicants were last year,” Benedict said.

Benedict said applicants from last year that did not win would not be automatically included in this year’s evaluation.

“They can feel free to be nominated again,” she said, adding self-nominations are allowed. “People should have the opportunity to update their nomination.”

The 24th annual Hamilton County Passion Play “Behold the Lamb” will be presented in seven performances March 19 through 23. The show

will be held nightly at 7 p.m., with matinee performances at 2 p.m. March 22 and 2:30 p.m.

March 23 at the Noblesville High School audito-rium, 18111 Cumberland Rd.

BTL Director Lisa Jennings said the production involves more than 500 individuals with 300 cos-tumed actors and musicians and all are involved as members or regularly attendees of Harbour Shores Church, 8011 E. 216th St., Cicero – just north of the Noblesville city limits border.

“It brings us together – one heart, one mind, one focus,” said Jennings. “I never cease to be amazed at what God has done and continues to do in this church.”

Jennings said all actors and support staff are members or regularly attendees of Harbour Shores Church, 8011 E. 216th St., Cicero – just north of the Noblesville city limits border – with the exception of one family who travels every year from Canada to participate.

Main characters are Clayton Jennings of Noblesville as Jesus, Mark Hall of Noblesville narrating as the Apostle John and Dr. Gaylen Kelton of Cicero as Simon of Cyrene. Featured soloists include Kathryn Carpenter, Olivia Clark, David Fowler, Mark Hall, Isabelle Hiner, Kerwin Kaufman, Larry Pryor, Steve Stone and Greg Turner of Noblesville; Jackie Barker of Lapel; Stephanie Dresser of Fishers; Anna Hardacre, John Hardacre, Madyson Hunt and Michelle Mitchell of Cicero.

ated by church members. Jennings said the first performance, which was a 30-minute traditional Easter cantata, entitled Watch the Lamb, was performed in 1991.

“Because of community demand, it was re-peated in 1992. At that time, people in the com-munity suggested we move the production to a larger facility to accommodate the crowds,” she explained. “It was never our intention to have a ‘mega drama ministry,’ but God’s leading was clear.”

Due to a major construction and renova-tion project at NHS, guests are asked to enter through Gate 2 in the southeast section of the building, next to the main parking lot.

Greg Lee knows hair. He also knows the hair business. As owner and operator of the

G. Michael Salon, 16095 Prosperity Dr., Suite 400, Noblesville, Lee has utilized that knowledge to propel his salon to

unprecedented growth and success in just five years.

“It’s all about the energy,” Lee exclaimed, when asked about the success of G. Michael Salon. “Here, we work as a team, and everything is a team effort. The people here care about one another, and that has been a really unique ben-efit to our growth. When people come to work happy, they produce. Our guests notice that posi-tive vibe. They’re very sensitive to it!”

That unique approach to the salon business has garnered the G. Michael Salon national recognition and notoriety. Earlier this year the salon was named to the 17th Annual Salon Today 200 by the top salon business publication Salon Today. The edition of the magazine featured 200 salons that were chosen from applications submitted by the publication’s readers. Each selected salons is honored in one of 11 different best practices categories, including the category of growth. It was in this category that G. Michael Salon received top honors among the nation’s top 25,000 top-producing salons and spas.

“Since we started, we’ve experienced 109 per-cent growth,” Lee said.

What does G. Michael Salon offer that keeps guests returning while attracting new customers?

“One of the things that we offer is a core education program,” said Lee, a graduate of the

Salon receives national recognition

Aveda Fredrics Institute. “Our education program runs 12 to 13 weeks with classes every Sunday. We want our stylists to stay on top of all of the new and exciting trends. Our guests want all the latest styles and colors, and we want to meet their expectations.”

Meeting those expectations is what drives Lee and his team of stylists.

“That is the biggest reward,” Lee said. “That automatic sense of satisfaction and immediate gratification from our guests. It is a joy to see that creation come to life in front of you. When that happens, customers get excited about what we do.”

Yet, even with the continued growth and national recognition, Lee wants prospective cus-tomers to feel welcome.

“I think a lot of people feel apprehensive, and they shouldn’t,” he said. “We are not pretentious. We are truly humbled to be here, and we wel-come everyone. We want everyone to come in and experience a whole new world. They won’t even think they’re in Indiana!”

Story walls – Officials are still work-ing on the parameters of the wall and whether it will be permanent or interchangeable. “It will tell the story of Noblesville,” Hendricks said. “It’s not been set. We’re still flushing it out.” The wall will provide space for public art and along with the trees will serve as a retaining area and bar-rier between the park and Ind. 32 so pedestrians are safer.

Parking lot – The approximate size of the lot is unknown, but plans call for the farmers’ market to use the lot and interior trail system to host their weekly event. The park’s trails are wide enough for cars to drive through and setup booths. “It opens up the entire park to be utilized,” Hendricks said.

Trails – The trail within the park will connect to Riverwalk with a pedestrian friendly bridge over White River. From Riverwalk, pedestrians can access Forest Park and Midland Trace trail. “Eventually someone from Carmel or Indianapolis could ride the Monon Trail and Midland Trace to Noblesville,” Hendricks said.Splash pad – Un-

like the Dillon Park splash park, Hendricks said the splash pad has no elements which means lower operating costs. The splash pad utilizes interactive jets that spray water up into the air. Plans call for daily use of the pad. During the winter, the city is looking to find an outside company to use the pad as an ice skating rink.

Support facility – One or possibly two facilities will provide storage areas and rest-rooms at each side of the park. Hendricks said the areas could be used for small meeting spaces. While one facility is planned for the park, the city is in talks with Ameriana Bank for its building.

Amphitheater – The music space will be large enough for a band or orchestra. “It’s a permanent stage that can be underwater. Ev-erything was built with that understanding – if it floods it can be power washed and ready to go,” Hendricks said. Plans also call for a “Note Park,” which include musical instruments in the walls of the stage. “It turns the stage into a play element,” Hendricks said.

Going green – Hendricks said the park is trying to use as many recyclable materials as possible, including capturing the splash pad water for the sprinkler system and using parking lot runoff for a rain garden. “We’re try-ing to be good stewards,” Hendricks said. Ind. 19 enhancements will make it more pedestrian friendly with traffic calming elements and landscaping.

Early 2013While the city has looked at the land for the past four years, of-ficials didn’t begin to strategize the use of the area until a year ago. Hendricks said the land, which is in a floodplain, is very difficult to build on. “The cost to shape it into buildable property really goes up because of these issues,” he said.

Early 2015Groundbreaking and construction will begin on the park. The park will be built in phases depending on costs, but the initial phase will likely include the amphitheater, parking lot, trails and green space.

Timeline

Additional amenityBy Robert Herrington • [email protected]

West Gateway Park, the 6.4 acres between Ind. 19 and Logan and Conner streets, provides Noblesville with several opportunities – an economic catalyst, home for a permanent amphitheater, the

first view of the city from the east, a gathering place and the extension of downtown over White River.

“There’s such a ginormous impact on the community. It ex-tends downtown and makes the west side of the town connected to downtown. As much of an asset as the river is, this takes it out as a barrier,” Parks Director Brandon Bennett said. “From a parks standpoint, it adds a really unique opportunity for the com-munity. I just think there is a lot of programing opportunities and the idea of the plan is exciting to me because we don’t have that anywhere else.”

Deputy Mayor Mike Hendricks, who is overseeing the project, said the goal is to create another amenity in Noblesville and serve as an economic driver.

“It’s a nice area where people can go and con-gregate,” he said. “It’ll be pretty amazing once it’s completed.”

The Noblesville Cultural Arts Commission has plans to move its annual Shakespeare in the Park series to the park each summer. The park also can help the city with its tax base and provide more employment opportunities if the private sector develops in areas adjacent to the park.

“There’s a lot of available property over there and we hope this is the catalyst to bring in the private investment. There are areas that have been for sale for quite a while,” Hendricks said. “It’s an enhancement to the east side (of downtown) but each are com-plimentary to each other. This is a large part in getting people to move on property that is around there.”

Hendricks said the complete project, with pedestrian bridge, will cost approximately $11 to $12 million. “That’s with every element, but we can’t bite off that much at once,” he said.

The costs of elements are not yet finalize, but funding will come from a variety of areas, including federal and state grants, the city’s park impact fees and Logan Street TIF district. Hendricks said the TIF district started in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He said the original project was the streetscape that evolved to

include the city’s public safety building. Recent developments at the Statehouse have caused the district to end in 2025, altering the park’s phasing.

We proudly helped to sponsor the annual Mayor’s Boy Scouts Breakfast in Noblesville a few weeks ago and the Westfield one last week. It’s a recurring sponsorship, because we believe, as do Mayors Andy Cook and John Ditslear, that Scouting is a wonderful endeav-or that needs to endure. We’re fast at work on a series of special sections for the Cross-roads of America Council for the Boy Scouts of America. They are scheduled to publish in June, August and September, and the content will be focused on the various layers of what Scouting means in general, and specifically to those that choose to participate. If you or your business are a proponent of Scouting and would like to place a message to that effect in any or all of the special publications, please let us know at [email protected], and we’ll be glad to assist you.

we place a premium on research, and so it was with great interest that we read last week’s Wall Street Journal/NBC poll results. They pointed out that the overall electoral milieu for Democrats is worse than it was in 2010, when the Republicans had their best midterm performance since Harry S. Truman was president. President Barack Obama’s job-approval rating is at an all-time low of 41 percent. While Western Europe is at risk, among other crisis issues, Obama was play-ing golf. Of course he was. One other point: The poll respondents were divided on Obam-acare, with 49 percent saying (as we have) that it’s a bad idea, and 39 percent saying it was a good idea. The bottom line here: The Republicans will find a way to screw up the advantage. Bank on it.

requires that we get out of our individual auto-mobiles and share our space with strangers.

And for many, this is a challenge – the release of control can be surprisingly emotional. But why is it so difficult? Most of us don’t know how to fly a jumbo jet and reason proves that the risk of peril in driving ourselves across country is far greater to our life and limb. Long lines, fights for overhead bin space, and cancelled flights are often blamed. But empirically compared to the alternatives, is our rational decision-making clouded an overwhelming desire to maintain perceived control?

So how does a reasonable thinker seek bal-ance in the discourse? Can we find our way to release some control to gain many other advan-tages? And even if we can, will we? Is there an emotional rescue?

Commentary by Terry Anker

As the discussion about public transportation continues in our fair communities, we are en-couraged to think about our own habits and how we might make individual use of such amenities were they to become available. Would we ride busses? Would we ride trains? Would we ride monorails or planes? Kidding aside, the idea of having someone else do the driving can be very appealing. In some places around this planet, our fellow humans move collectively about quickly, affordably and in high comfort.

Yet for reasons that we don’t fully understand, our desire to be entirely independent and unre-stricted stymies our support for what, in many ways, would be a superior approach to personal locomotion. For many, air travel is the form of mass-transit most prevalent – there is little or no other service that corresponds with our homes or offices. It is an amazing feat that one can be transported in a few hours from one place to another safely and with minimal effort. Still, it

Commentary by Renee Oldham

Across the nation, vibrant downtowns that are thriving are a mix of diverse retail stores, distinctive services, unique attractions, desti-nation restaurants, cultural activities, live-work accommodations, and, last but not least, an alluring atmosphere. A downtown of this cali-ber not only subsidizes the city’s economy but also contributes to a city’s identity and sense of place. By all accounts, downtown Nobles-ville is such a place.

Countless downtowns of similar size to downtown Noblesville have been hit hard by the economic downturn and recovery is not in sight. However, downtown Noblesville has remained vibrant and continues to experience consistent economic growth and investment in the central business district.

In 2013 alone, downtown Noblesville experi-ence unprecedented growth with fourteen new business openings, six expansions and more than $2.1 million in new investment. In addition, four façade renovations and six build-ing rehabilitations were completed. Downtown Noblesville’s 2013-turnover rate was less than 3 percent, significantly lower than the national average. According to Senior Economist Ryan Severino of REIS, the national expert in com-mercial real estate market information analy-sis, “the national vacancy rate for neighbor-hood centers now stands at 10.4 percent.” REIS also reported that the 2013 fourth quarter va-cancy rate for regional malls was 7.9 percent.

Noblesville Main Street, Inc., is working diligently to create a market strategy in 2014 which includes components for a targeted Retention and Attraction program for down-town Noblesville. The RA program will expand beyond our traditional Metropolitan Statistical Area utilizing studies, data, psychographic data, and sources, such as the City of Nobles-ville’s Comprehensive Plan, Hamilton County Convention and Visitor Center, the city’s economic development department and Small Business Development Center to target poten-tial new businesses, expansions, and invest-ments to downtown Noblesville.

Katniss Everdeen? Not yetCommentary by Danielle Wilson

It’s time for my quarterly New Year’s Resolu-tions check-in, people, where I evaluate my

progress towards fulfilling my goals for 2014. You may recall I am attempting to become Hunger-

Games worthy. I want to achieve ripped arms and crock-pot expertise, in addition to learning how to hunt, shoot and power whistle. Unfor-tunately, I’m not progressing as quickly as I’d hoped.

For instance, every time I practice obnoxious catcalling, I nearly pass out. This does not play well while I’m navigating the construction on 31 in my minivan. So I’ve had to limit my sessions to those rare moments when I am not driving to dance, tumbling, soccer, track, tae kwon do, jazz band or volleyball. Given that whistling lies on one of the lowest rungs of my daily to-do ladder (somewhere between scrubbing toilets and shop-vacing air vents), I’d estimate I devote about thirty seconds every three weeks to mas-tering this annoyingly-difficult trick.

Cooking my way through “Crock-Pots & You” has also proved challenging. For one thing, most of the dishes take only four hours. If I throw all the ingredients in before I leave for work in the morning, by five o’clock that evening, the meal - though savory - is essentially mush. This is fine if I’m trying for soup, but not so good if I want a Parmesan Crusted Chicken. Nevertheless, as my

commitment to cutting Box Tops approaches full-on addiction (I love finding them on every high-sodium, preservative-laden box of food I serve), I’ve decided to keep the crock-potting. Next up, Meatball Madness!

Hunting is on hold until the fall when it be-comes legal again to fire weapons at deer. So technically I’m still on course to meet that goal. I’d like to say the same for the handgun, but my only excuse for not learning to shoot is pure laziness. I’ve located a range that offers classes, and I’ve even convinced my mother-in-law to come along for the ride, but I have yet to . . . well . . . pull the trigger. Damn, I’m funny! (Cussing less is not one of my promises.)

As for doing 20 “real” push-ups, I’m feeling confident. In fact, I could probably drop and give you eleven right now if I weren’t so light-headed from some recent whistling practice. With warm weather approaching, however, I’m highly mo-tivated to meet this declaration. At least more motivated than I am to slow-cook Knockwurst Surprise.

Hope your New Year’s resolutions are going better than mine are! Peace out.

Editor,My government class recently performed a

simulation in which we voted on fake candidates based on either their photographs or their biogra-phies. The goal of this activity was to demonstrate the effects of Americans voting on candidates based on appearance or party as opposed to the candidate’s views on social and economic issues.

With only the biographies or photos to go by, my classmates and I didn’t know who we were voting for. The results of this activity were star-tling to say the least. Candidates who had a high number of votes included Adolf Hitler, Ted Bundy (yes, the serial killer), and a pair of bankers who

are famous for embezzling money from corporate companies. This goes to show how important it is that we, as voters, know the candidate’s stance on issues! While I’m sure that most presi-dential candidates aren’t serial killers nor Nazi dictators, this activity still demonstrates how important it is for the preservation of the govern-ment that voters do not elect political leaders based on their appearance.

I hope this serves as a wake-up call for Ameri-cans, and that voters are reminded next election to understand who they’re really voting for.

Kearsten Browning Noblesville High School senior

Editor,For many generations now, the youth of Amer-

ica has failed to see the point in voting. Whether they don’t care about politics or they’re not prop-erly informed, voting for the younger population is much lower.

That being said, and what Obama has said numerous times, it’s time for change. I think that if schools didn’t just teach students the three differ-ent branches and what they’re used for, but in-stead focused more on what each branch does and how it works, we would see an increase in not only better understanding of politics, but also grades.

Students who are 18 need to understand that their vote really does make a difference. Students need to have more of an insight on

what is going on in school. For example, this year Noblesville has adapted using iPads to our curriculum. Now, if you ask a teacher what they think, I’m sure they can give you a valid opinion. But only a student’s opinion can truly be count-ed, because they will be firsthand users of the IPads and faced with the challenges of the tran-sition. Sometimes younger students understand more than we think. With their vote, knowledge, and opinion of the world, it could change things. Technology is only going to improve and this generation knows how to use it better. The stu-dents who you are teaching now are the future of American and will one day be in charge.

A Western opera? – That’s what attendees will witness when “The Girl of the Golden West”

in disguise, the sheriff in hot pursuit, and a garter-snapping, pistol-packing, poker-playing heroine who will do anything to save the man she loves. The American West fascinated the opera’s composer, Giacomo Puccini, and Califor-nia’s Gold Rush was the perfect setting for one of his most memorable leading ladies. If you love Butterfly and Tosca, then you’ll love Minnie, too. “The Girl of the Golden West” is at Clowes Memorial Hall, Butler University in Indianapolis at 8 p.m. March 21 and 2 p.m. March 23.

Since the theatres of the Center for Per-forming Arts first opened to the public, a wide

variety of shows and perform-ers have wowed audiences. But audiences are in for a rare

treat the weekend of March 22 when artist Joe Cashore brings his marionette show to the Tarkington stage.

Cashore has dedicated most of his career to perfecting the ancient artform, even building his own creations and manipulating them with a system only he knows how to use – all in the hope of giving an audience a taste of real magic.

It wasn’t without reason that Disney chose the story of Pinocchio, the puppet who wanted to become a real boy, when it wanted to create some movie magic in one of its earliest animat-ed movies. But in an age of digital visual effects, it’s easy to forget what made things magical in the first place.

But watching an inanimate object suddenly spring to life with perfect human movements can certainly have that effect.

Cashore’s performances feature a series of short pieces, each with its own theme.

“Some of them are serious, some are humor-ous, some are emotionally challenging,” he said.

The full-length performance on March 22 is recommended for adults and children older than eight; the matinee the following day contains pieces that were performed the day before, but the show is shorter and suitable for adults and children six and older.

That’s because there’s very little dialogue dur-ing the performance, and music is necessary to convey the mood and emotions – but it also re-quires a quiet audience to make the illusion real.

“Sometimes it takes a long time to find the right music,” Cashore said.

He often uses classical music in his performanc-es, but he also has built pieces around an existing work of music or even commissioned compositions to match a particular idea for a show.

Cashore said the combination of the music and the expressiveness of his marionettes has a unique quality.

His favorite compliment that he ever received was: “A guy came up after a show and said, ‘You know, looking at this opened a part of my brain

that I didn’t know I had.’”Cashore’s stories are all based on his obser-

vations of people. He begins by story-boarding an idea, and then

he eliminates everything that doesn’t express the point of the piece. No movement is wasted.

“If you keep it focused, it’s more powerful,” he said.

Cashore has also built more than 150 mari-onettes, but he only works with his 15 best.

He studied fine arts in school, worked for a while as a painter and carpenter, and then decided to pursue performance art as a fulltime career in the 1980s. So it wasn’t a technical abil-ity he had to master, it was more that he had to overcome a sense of shyness.

“It was hard to step out on stage at first. I felt like I was hiding behind the marionettes,” he said. “But I’ve done it so much it’s no longer a problem.”

And his shows that focus on the richness of life and its possibilities have taken him to every state except the Dakotas, and all over Canada, Europe and Asia. But this performance will be his first in Carmel, and he hopes people will take the opportunity to come watch something different.

“The show is fun,” he said. “People will enjoy it. They really will.”

The music of composer Percy Granger will be featured as the Indiana Wind Symphony takes

center stage with guest tenor Ken Knowles on March 22 for “Folksong Fantasia.”

“Usually the way I plan a concert is I decide on a couple of big works we want to do and then I think, OK, is there any connection that we can form a theme,” said symphony conductor Charles Conrad. “In this case, with the songs form the Catskills, there is based on folk songs. We’ve not done a concert with that theme.”

That led Conrad to immediately contact Knowles.

“Right away I wanted to get him involved be-cause he is such a terrific singer of folk songs,” Conrad said. “He is such a Carmel fixture and has sung with us maybe a dozen times.”

And the concert will feature an interesting twist – playing old recordings Granger compiled of folk singers when he put together a piece called “A Lincolnshire Posy.”

“A lot of his music came from that treasure trove, and we have those songs and before we play the six we will play a bit of that (recordings) to give people an idea of the flavor of what it sounded like to Granger,” Conrad said. “I hope it will be exciting. It will be a little odd sounding because of the age of the technology but it will be interesting to hear the old recordings but

also show off Percy Granger’s genius in coming up with all of these interesting textures - some simple and some extremely complex.”

It’s an evening Conrad hopes audience mem-bers will remember for some time.

“There is this kind of beauty and simplicity of folk music that even though it is relatively simple when you put it together from a musical stand-point it has great emotions and human truths that are all intertwined,” Conrad said.

Covering everything from Dolly Parton to Lu-ciano Pavarotti, singer David Phelps is bringing

his soulful tune to the Zionsville Performing Arts Center on March 20.

Hailing from Texas, Phelps stud-ied classical music at Baylor University and now calls a farm in Nashville, Tenn., home.

“My style is very eclectic,” Phelps said. “I’m a little hard to pin down.”

Phelps said he doesn’t put his music under one genre, because he loves to sing Gospel, country, adult contemporary, and classical.

He is currently on tour promoting his latest album, Classic, released in 2012.

“Everything in the show is family oriented,” Phelps said.

Celebrated as the tenor in the Grammy-award-winning Gaither Vocal Band, Phelps said he is most well-known for his unique vocal style and ability to sing in high tessitura for a long time.

Phelps’ Classic album allowed him the oppor-tunity to work on his first solo project with close friend and mentor, Bill Gaither. The song selec-tion for the album took more than a year, and brought Phelps immense joy.

“It was a great confidence builder that Bill put so much trust in me,” Phelps said.

With the accompaniment provided by a full band and background vocalists, the Classic in

Commentary by Dr. Jeffery Schoonover

If you watched races or triathlons recently, you may have noticed many athletes wearing

knee high compression socks or calf sleeves. To understand why even amateur athletes are

wearing these socks and sleeves, it’s helpful to review the circulatory system. Blood circulates through our bodies via a network of vein and arter-ies. It is a closed system so that blood pumped from the heart to the legs must be moved back up through the system to the heart. The calf muscle pumps venous blood against the force of gravity when we are walk-ing or running.

It’s well known that medical grade compres-sion stockings improve blood flow by helping the calf muscle pump more effectively, which helps keep blood from pooling in the legs. These stock-ings have been used for years with patients af-ter surgery, to treat leg swelling and for varicose and spider veins.

Now, there is growing evidence that athletic compression stockings may reduce soreness after a race. Post-event muscle pain can occur for several reasons: lactic acid build-up, micro-trauma at the muscle fiber level, electrolyte

FITNESS

depletion and a release of prostaglandins (in-flammatory chemicals released during and after exercise). Compression is believed to reduce the muscle pain because the micro-trauma can be lessened and the calf muscle pump increased, which clears out lactic acid and prostaglandins more effectively.

What is less clear is the benefit of wearing them during a race. There are no definitive stud-

ies that show the benefit of use during the event. We do advise athletes with varicose vein disease to wear compression stockings during events to increase the calf muscle pump function while re-ducing ankle swelling and venous pooling. For ath-

letes without varicose vein disease, there may be a benefit to wearing athletic compression stockings after an event to help with recovery.

Commentary by Adam Cmejla

The Individual Retirement Account is the Titan-ic of most peoples’ retirement plan — it typically

tends to be their biggest asset at retirement. But there are a number of issues that can occur

that are not advantageous to investors if proper planning and monitoring are not done.

Let’s highlight five areas where we’ve seen mistakes occur:

Not taking your required minimum distribution

The IRS requires you to start taking out a por-tion of your IRA each year after you turn 70.5, even if you don’t need the money. During the year in which you turn 70.5, you have up until April 15th of the following year to make that dis-tribution, but keep in mind that you will have to make two distributions that year: the one for the year in which you turned 70.5, and then another one before year’s end for that calendar year. If you forget, the penalty is pretty steep: the IRS will assess a 50 percent penalty on required distributions that were not taken.

Incorrect beneficiariesMany people think that because they have a

will in place that they do not need to name ben-eficiaries on their IRA’s. However, it’s important to remember that any beneficiary information that is on file with your IRA custodian will super-sede any bequests you have listed in your will.

5 IRA mistakes you should avoidThis is especially important if you’ve had a death or change in marital status due to a divorce. Make sure all of your IRA accounts reflect your final wishes, including any charitable giving you want to make. A good estate attorney will help you direct how to properly title your retirement accounts to reflect your estate wishes.

Not knowing how to ‘stretch’ an IRAUnless you are the spouse of someone that’s

passed away, the IRS will require you to make required minimum distributions from an IRA that you’ve inherited. Depending on the age of the person when they passed away, you may be able to “stretch” those distributions over your lifetime, thus potentially preserving significantly longer the value of the assets in the account.Forgetting about after-tax dollars in an IRA

If you’ve made non-deductible contributions to an IRA in the past and therefore have basis in the account, it is important to track that basis. This is done by filing Form 8606 with your tax returns. Failing to file this form means the IRS views 100 percent of your IRA as deductible con-tributions, thus 100 percent of your distributions will be taxable. This, in its essence, is double taxation. Improper Roth conversions or recharacter-

izations of Roth IRAsIf you’ve converted Traditional IRAs to Roth

IRAs and it is deemed a “failed conversion,” the IRS generally views the failed conversion as a total distribution from the Traditional IRA, thus causing a taxable event in the year it was per-formed. Obviously this can have some major tax implications given the changes in the tax code. If you’ve properly converted a Roth IRA, need to “recharacterize” that conversion (for any num-ber of reasons that won’t be discussed here), and that recharacterization is done improperly, you could also open yourself up to adverse tax consequences.

The Hamilton County Council voted unani-mously to endorse Beck’s Hybrids in a letter

to the state, which would help the company with a tax abatement.

Sonny Beck, president of Atlanta-based seed company Beck’s Hybrids, Inc., told the council a 2007 and 2010 tax abatement helped his com-pany added 74 employees in 2012 and 85 in 2013. He said they employ over 400 today.

“They’re not all in Hamilton County or In-diana,” he said. “We now serve eight states. We’ve added Tennessee and 25 percent of Missouri and Iowa.”

Beck said they have “close to 1 million square feet under roof” at its Atlanta plant.

“Most of our product is processed and bagged at the Hamilton County location,” he said.

The company is looking at its future and the possibilities with expansion. Beck said they must decide between building a mega center in Atlanta or research costs at other Midwest locations.

“We love being here. Expansion would include a research area with technology buildings, green houses and a new packaging plant,” Beck said.

THE ROTARY CLUB OF C ARMEL PRESENTS

2014

lIFESTYlE

Commentary by Don Knebel

Lisbon and San Francisco lie at almost identical latitudes on the west coasts of their respective continents. Both occupy seven hills

and maintain picturesque old streetcars. Both span their bays with orange suspension bridges,

designed by the same engineer. And both are wonderful places to visit. However, Lisbon has one attraction its twin city can never match – a monument honoring the life and times of Henry the Navigator, a Portuguese prince who rear-ranged the world, and not always for the better.

Henry the Navigator, the third son of Portu-guese King John I, dreamed of gaining new con-verts to Christianity in lands unexplored by Euro-peans. Beginning in 1415 he planned and financed expeditions from Lisbon that sailed further and further down the western coast of Africa. By 1444, ships under Henry’s direction, reached what is now Mauritania and began carrying slaves back to Lisbon for conversion and sale. Accord-ing to Henry’s biographer, Sir Peter Russell, “In Henryspeak, conversion and enslavement were interchangeable terms.”

For the next 40 years, Portuguese explorers, sailing caravels whose design Henry had commis-

sioned, reached, on average, one degree further south each year, claiming lands for Portugal and bringing back more slaves. Bartolomeu Dias finally rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, proving the feasibility of a sea route to Asia. When Vasco da Gama reached India from Lisbon in 1498, trade with India began replacing the slave trade as the mainstay of the Portuguese economy. Pedro Álvares Cabral, detouring west on his way to India, bumped into what is now Brazil in 1500, claiming it for Portugal. In 1522, an expedition led by Ferdi-nand Magellan of Portugal sailed west on behalf of Spain and circled the globe.

In 1960, 500 years after Henry the Navigator’s death, Portugal’s Salazar regime erected Padrão dos Descobrimentos (Standard of Discovery) near where expeditions had left Lisbon for parts then unknown. The 171-feet-high monument evokes a caravel, with Henry, who rarely left port, stand-ing tall on the bow. Lined up behind him are two ramps of people important to Portugal’s 100 year long Age of Exploration. No slaves are among them.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Hi Jordan,Can you comment on “off of?” [As in] “I jumped

off of the rock.” This is another favorite phrase.” (From Caroline Rosewell)

Answer: Caroline: Happy to comment, and I

appreciate the jumping off point.The “off of” construction is at best anachro-

nistic, and at worst redundant. We’ll look at why below.

To begin, both “off” and “of” are prepositions. Their meanings overlap when they are used to indicate the object of an action – as they are in the example sentence, “I jumped off of the rock.” They do not function equally in that role, however.

Consider them individually: “I jumped off the rock.” “I jumped of the rock.” The former makes sense – the latter does not.

You could argue, I suppose, that “off” functions as an adverb modifying the prepositional phrase “of the rock” – which is itself functioning as an adverbial phrase modifying “jumped” – but that seems to me to be the grammatical equivalent of taking a plane to Chicago so that you can catch a bus to Denver. Just take the plane straight there.

What I think is actually happening here is that “off of” is being substituted where “from” should go, i.e. “I jumped from the rock.” The preposition

A jumping-off point

“from” is used specifically to indicate the starting point of a physical movement, and is probably the best choice in this scenario, with “off” being an acceptable second option and “off of” not even qualifying.

In conclusion, when you feel an “off of” about to slip out of your mouth, just stop at “off.” Even better, consider using “from.” And if, for whatever reason, you find a better deal flying to Chicago and then taking a bus – by all means, go for it. Who am I to stand in the way of saving a buck?

INSIDE & OUT

Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING BASEMENT: After cleaning up the aftermath of their flooded walkout basement, the

owners of this Zionsville home knew it was time to transform their dated basement into a space

worthy of entertaining friends and family. Making the space more functional was the main goal of the project. “There was a wall separating the kitchen and media room,” said the homeowner. “Removing the wall allowed for a much better flow to host our guests.”

KITCHEN DETAILS: New semi-custom maple cabinets with a Java finish were installed giving the kitchen the contemporary look the home-owners were looking for. The Venetian Gold granite countertops and glass tile backsplash polished off the look of the space. Incorporating stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet LED lighting and a craft beer tap created the perfect ambiance to host guests.

GUEST BATHROOM: The contemporary look was carried through into the details of the guest bathroom. The original flimsy shower unit received a major facelift with a tasteful blend of various vibrant tiles. Ivory tumbled stone tile was installed in the niche and on floor of the shower. The Venetian Gold granite used on the shower seat, niche shelf and door sill was the perfect match with the “Modern Dimensions” wall tile.

BEFOrE & AFTErRESULT: In the end, the contemporary design and improved functionality made a dramatic difference to the space. “The wet bar is my favorite part of the whole basement remodel. We love having our own adult space in a home that is predominately ruled by our children.” There is no doubt that this basement is destined to host great dinner parties for years to come.

The accent tile used for the decorative trim and brushed nickel fixtures completed the look of this spa-like retreat.

UPGRADED FIREPLACE: Stacked stone and a new wood mantel transformed the fireplace into a warm and cozy gathering spot just off the kitchen and bar.
