County ‘a safer place to live, work’By Robert Herrington • [email protected]

Public safety was Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger’s focus during his annual State of the County address at the Noblesville Chamber of Com-

merce luncheon on Jan. 22.

“The recent home-invasion incidents have created some un-rest,” he said. “More than half of the inmates in the county jail the past several years have addresses outside of Hamilton County – most are from Indianapolis. Stats since 2002 show we have stayed very steady with our crime element in Hamilton County.”

To ensure public safety, Hamilton County has tak-en and is taking several steps to improve. Dillinger said the costs and inefficiencies of having multiple communications centers led to the combination of the three 911 dispatch centers in Hamilton County last year. Carmel’s center cost citizens an extra $1.8 million each year. In Noblesville the amount was $1.1 million in extra costs. Mike Snowden was hired as the new county director to oversee the convergence and 67 communications employees, and to manage the $7.2 million budget.

“The dispatch center received 259,000 calls for service in 2013,” Dillinger said.

In addition to the dispatch center, Hamilton Coun-ty is replacing its communication system.

“There are multiple radio system types throughout the county,” Dillinger said. “Radio ‘dead spots’ put our public servants in peril.”

Dillinger said the $9 million project adds four new towers (eight total) and more than 2,700 in new radios.

“This is a major step toward public safety and the safety of our public servants,” he said, adding that places in the north part of the county or west Clay Township have radio signal troubles.

Westfield owns 98 acres adjacent to River Road in Noblesville that form the proposed site of a county-wide public safety training center, which would be used for shooting, water and fire rescue classes, and joint training exercises. The project has an $11 million to $12 million price tag, and Dillinger said the antici-pated annual operating costs would be $324,000 to $377,000 with $1.19 million in bond payments per year. The center would reduce the costs of sending

employees across the state and nation for training and could be leased to other agencies looking for a training facility.

“I’ll have an update in the next year,” Dillinger said on the proposal.

The latest challenge was the massive winter storm earlier this month that in-cluded multiple layers of snow, 40-mph wind gusts, heavy drifting and temperatures that reached 30 below with the wind chill.

“This is a condition that is very, very deadly and very unsafe,” he said. “The storm was unique. Many employees worked 12-hour shifts.”

The storm shut down cities and the county for two days and required round-the-clock plowing. Be-cause of the conditions, Dillinger and his fellow com-missioners declared Hamilton County a disaster.

“We’re hoping to qualify for FEMA funds,” he said. “We spent $1.1 million on that event and are hoping for a 75 percent reimbursement for the county and cities.”

gOvErNMENT

Know moreOther highlights of Hamilton County Commis-sioner Steve Dillinger’s speech include:• Hamilton County has a rainy day fund of

$48,281,000. “Most counties would die for that kind of surplus,” Dillinger said.

• Construction to widen 146th Street west from Spring Mill Road to Ditch Road is expected to start this year.

• The county is looking at major upgrades of 146th Street at Ind. 37 and Allisonville Road. Dillinger said that if 146th Street is left as is, “It will take 20 minutes to get through each intersection” in 18 years or sooner.

• The roundabout at 209th Street and Hague Road will be started and hopefully completed this year.

• A study is looking at creating a ramp off 146th Street to Keystone Avenue using Lowe’s Way.

• While the county looks at land outside of Noblesville, it decided to create additions downtown to handle growth. The unique chal-lenge provides two requirements: the addition should look like it was initially built that way and the state allows only $12 million to be used for construction without a referendum.

Commentary by Kathy Richardson

The House Republican caucus recently an-nounced our agenda for the 2014 legislative ses-

sion. With priorities focused on preschool education, road funding, workforce

development, tax cuts and deregulation, we are not letting this “short session” prevent us from building upon the recent progress and success our state has achieved.

EducationAs a state, we are committed to providing all

Hoosier students with a high-quality education to set them up for success. In fact, over half of the state’s biannual budget is spent on K-12 and higher education. I want to build upon last year’s work to expand high-quality preschool options for low-income families. These programs provide a solid foundation for children’s future education and better prepare them for the classroom. In In-diana, however, 60 percent of children between the ages of three and four are not enrolled in a preschool program. Hoosier families should have the option to send their child to preschool regardless of their income.

RoadsThe Major Moves initiative launched in 2005

has led to great improvements in our transporta-tion infrastructure, but all of the money set aside for the program has already been spent or allo-cated for projects running through 2015. We have introduced legislation that will increase road project funding by taking a portion of the road money we set aside last year and we continue to focus on transportation priorities for our state to meet future needs.

JobsWe also need to ensure that both the cur-

rent and future Hoosier workforce is equipped to meet the challenges that a globally dynamic marketplace demands. Sixty-seven percent of manufacturing companies across the nation

Working on progress

STATEHOUSE

reported a moderate to severe shortage of avail-able, qualified workers, and 56 percent of them anticipate the shortage worsening in the next three years.

The legislature is working to better connect our educational system and the private sector by providing grants that partner schools and businesses. These partnerships will include ini-tiatives such as internships and apprenticeships that put students on a career path to a high-income and high- demand job that requires an industry certificate.

Cutting taxesOn the business side, our state is among the

nation’s most attractive for development due to our competitive tax climate. We want to build upon this success and give counties the option to eliminate or cut business personal property taxes on new investments. Three of our four neighboring states do not collect a personal property tax, and the fourth collects it at a lower rate than Indiana. This tax discourages business-es from expanding and investing in new equip-ment when they really need it. We need to stay ahead of the competition and continue to attract more businesses and more jobs to our state.

Stop burdensome regulationsWe want to make the government more ef-

ficient by reducing redundant and outdated regulations. We continue to add laws every year that help modernize government practices and functions, but we can do more to review Indiana’s code and see if it includes hurdles that businesses and Hoosiers alike needlessly have to jump through. Sensibly getting rid of anti-quated legislation can reduce complexity, cost and confusion.

District 4 Representative Mark Boice has been elected president of the Noblesville Common

Council for 2014.“A lot of projects right

now will shape our city in the next few years,” he said. “I’m excited to help lead the council and city through these projects.”

At the top of his list is working on design and the first steps to moving forward on a lot of parks projects.

“I’m really excited to be part of something that’s going to be a permanent fixture for Noblesville and such a great amenity for the city,” Boice said.

With the economy picking up, Boice said more developers will be coming in front of the council.

“The goal is trying to get the development that

is good for the city and raise the standards of any of it (that is) not beneficial to the city,” he said.

Boice said Noblesville is positioned well with its finances and he hopes there are no revenue funding changes at the state level.

“As long as things stay the same we should be in good shape budget-wise this year,” he said.

Boice previously served as council president in 2011.

“I think it will be easier the second time around,” he said. “I know what to expect and hopefully can anticipate the needs.”

“Mark has served as council president before and will do another great job in that role. I look forward to working with Mark and all of the council this year,” Mayor John Ditslear said.

Firefighters were met with cold temperatures and icy conditions at the scene of a residential house fire on Jan. 22. At 7:48 a.m., Noblesville firemen were dispatched to the 19000-block of Chip Shot Road in the Prairie Crossing Subdivision. Homeowners Garrett Kahlo, and his fiancée, Rebecca Shea, were home at the time of the fire. Shea was the first to notice the fire in the garage and quickly alerted Kahlo, who exited the home with their two children. Shea stated that she initially heard a “popping” noise coming from the garage then the smoke detectors started sounding in the home. The fire was contained to the garage; however there was smoke and heat damage to the interior of the home. Estimated damage is approximately $100,000.

Organizers are planning Noblesville’s seventh Relay For Life, which will be held May 10 at Forest

Park. While the event is still several months away, planning committees are

recruiting teams to join the event. LuAnn Harger, Noblesville Relay For Life co-chair, said teams are often made up of co-workers, friends and family members, but many businesses, schools, organiza-tions and religious groups also build teams.

Prior to the relay, team members raise dollars by fundraising and securing sponsorships. During Relay For Life, teams camp out overnight and take turns walking a track in an effort to raise awareness and funds in the fight against cancer. At the event, Harger said the Luminaria and Sur-

vivor ceremonies offer time to remember those lost and celebrate those who have won the battle, and the Fight Back ceremony gives every-one a chance to make a personal commitment to take action against cancer throughout the year.

“One in every 100 Americans participates in this fundraising event that has become a global phenomenon,” Harger stated. “Everything we do at Relay For Life contributes to reducing cancer mortality and incidences; raising money that supports free patient programs and services, research or volunteering to commit to advocacy and education efforts. We’re all part of the fight and we need the community’s help.”

For his second show as director, Jeff Bick is making ‘Bell, Book and Candle’ a special

experience for audience – with the help of local entertainers.

“There are more lights, sounds and special effects – illusions on a live stage,” he said.

The play is based on the 1958 movie with the same title starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak.

“It was a famous movie, the last movie in which Stewart had a love interest because he felt so uncomfortable with an ac-tress 20 years younger than he was,” Bick said. “The idea, we believe, triggered ‘Bewitched.’”

In the show, a talented witch casts a love spell on her neighbor and starts experiencing feelings for him. Magic literally brings them to-gether, but will he still love her, or even want to be with her, if she cancels the spell?

“It’s a romantic comedy with a lot of magic thrown in,” Bick said. “I like it because I like ro-mantic comedies and I like magic. There’s a lot in it for me. It’s been fun figuring out how to get the magic on stage.”

The show previously was performed at The Belfry in 1984.

“We like the idea of playing up the Valentine’s Day aspect. We think this is a great place to come for a Valentine’s night out,” Bick said.

The magicTo create additional special effects on stage,

Bick turned to David Melton, a stagehand for Klipsch Music Center and a tech team member at Beef & Boards Dinner Theater.

“I started getting involved at the local level before I started getting paid to do them,” Melton said. “I wanted to give back to the community.”

To assist with creating the additional special effects, Beef & Boards has lent lighting equipment and local resident Charlie McMillian, Jr. has provided some of his music equipment.

“The biggest challenges for me were to find

ways to make it look like magic but without it breaking the budget and not making it look cheesy. That’s two ends of the spectrum,” Melton said. “It’s surprising some of the common things you can do. A silk handkerchief being blown from a fan and being lit underneath looks like a flame. A CO2 fire extinguisher makes a great explosion without hurting a thing. There’s a lot of noise and smoke, and then they’re gone.”

Bick was concerned with creating magic while keeping the actors and audience safe. He said one particular scene involving casting the love spell had to be adjusted.

“There’s a live wood fire on a wooden stage with wooden planks and wooden furniture,” Bick said. “What the script recommends concerned my stage manager. David created a neat effect through lighting and special effects. It’s safe and interesting.”

Happily ever afterLead characters Gillian Holroyd and Shep Hen-

derson are portrayed by Tamara and Gavin Rulon, respectively. The couple has been married for 20 years but this is the first time the two have played onstage love interests.

“This is an enjoyable show. We sought to do it as an actual couple – it’s fun,” Tamara said.

“I wanted to do it only because she was in it,” Gavin said. “It’s fun to fight but it stays here.”

The two have acted together before in a couple of shows and played siblings Sally and Charlie Brown in 2004.

“I love it. She is the best actress to be onstage with. She has patience to let me explore my character,” Gavin said, adding that working with his wife feels more comfortable. “It’s also fun to

Bick said all of the art in the gallery is by local Hamilton County artists who have created pieces for the show based on excerpts from the script. The pieces will be available for purchase during the show’s run.

“There’s a number of artists creating artwork related to the show based on a quote from the show,” he said.

kiss my wife onstage.”Bick said that directing the two is more of a

challenge because of their chemistry.“You might think it makes it easier, but actu-

ally it makes it harder,” he said. “They aren’t in love at the start of the show. They have to work very hard at that. They get extremely angry with each other – no real interest early on. It’s great working with them. They are great people and are both great actors. It’s been an interesting challenge for them and me.”

Gabriel Lehman’s “Happy Shadow” is one of the paintings which will be on display and for sale in The Belfry Theatre’s lobby during the show’s run.

The chemistry between lead actors Gavin and Tamara Rulon comes naturally – the two have been mar-ried for 20 years, but this is the first time they have been onstage love interests. For more photos of “Bell, Book and Candle,” visit www.currentnoblesville.com. (Photo by Robert Herrington)

I’m not the world’s best driver, but I’m closer to it than the worst. A few things cause “my father in me” to come out: motorists in the fast lane driving slowly, people who ride my bumper and people who move into the other lane when two lanes merge a dozen feet after a traffic light while everyone else gets into one long line and waits his or her turn.

As traffic flows become bigger issues, the city and county have been taking steps to keep people moving. When the first round-about appeared in Hamilton County, I think we were all taken aback (and I still seem to get behind those maneuvering through it for the first time). Now the European-based design has become a popular tool for controlling in-tersections – and seemingly almost a mandate for every 100 yards of roadway in Carmel.

U.S. 31 improvements have almost required a study session and a couple trips to let drivers fully understand when to turn, where to turn and what exits get them where they want to go quickest.

And I can deal with all that because I know it only takes time to adjust. One design that I hope doesn’t become as standard as highway cloverleafs and street roundabouts is the Michigan Left.

Studies have shown a major reduction in left-turn collisions and a minor reduction in merging and diverging collisions with the Mich-igan Left. However, one minor disadvantage of the design is the extra distance it requires motorists to drive. Using the 96th Street-Allisonville Road intersection as an example, drivers must pass through the intersection, wait at another traffic light (and on others who realize almost too late that they need to get into the left turn lane), make a U-turn and then – most likely – get stuck back at the origi-nal intersection with a “no turn on red” sign mocking them.

Unlike Motown music, but more like the Pistons, this is one thing Michigan can keep to itself.

Left is not right

these creatures feed. The web is not a home; in fact, it is more of an elaborate and well-planned tool used to collect dinner! I came to admire these creatures, in spite of their somewhat dis-turbing appearance.

Even today when I walk into a spider’s web, I thank God that I’m big enough to break free and that I am not about to be sucked dry by the proprietor of the silken prison. When I’m in a tough situation, I think of the lowly web. Am I really trapped or can I simply walk through the problem and brush it off? And what does the spider think when we enter his domain? Does he imagine that he’s set for life, or does he agonize over the amount of thread required to wrap a 200-pound dinner?

Commentary by Terry Anker

One of the few benefits of the frosty tempera-tures of Indiana’s mid-winter must be the recess in the activities performed by common household pests. It seems that spiders, field mice and all other sorts of summer vermin tuck themselves in for the winter and leave us all alone! Surely, a few hearty souls still spin webs that appear only when we are entertaining the nosy neigh-bor or cranky in-law (even clean houses have cobwebs!). As a boy reading E.B. White’s classic, “Charlotte’s Web,” I would scan for special mes-sages the cobwebs that always seemed to ac-cumulate as the cool autumn days arrived. Alas, no words ever appeared.

Then as I matriculated to middle school, my interest in spiders became far more mechanical. The science teacher taught us about the arach-nids’ incredible strength and dexterity. Many of us thought we knew it all from Marvel comics. But Peter Parker, even in his darkest days as Spi-derman, lacked the intriguing way that most of

The copy of Current you’re holding is one of five distinctly different editions we published today for the communities we serve. And, as is the case every week, a wide array of content aims to serve your needs. On occasion, some of that content raises ire or provokes an un-expected response from one or more readers. Such was the case last week in response to a story Current reported and wrote, only to have it interpreted in a way that was different from what we foresaw. A local government official, viewing it differently, launched into a heavy phone-and-e-mail barrage. He was hot – and that’s an understatement. Naturally, it caught our attention, and we began to dig into his ac-cusations. In the end, it was a matter of con-strual; the official saw it one way, the reporter and we another. It’s OK to agree to disagree, and for the moment that is where we are. Fac-tually and objectively, the reporter’s work was right on the money. A source’s quote caused some unrest with the official, but we don’t edit quotes for content; had we opted to omit the quote, a passage of the story would have been left with no context. All this spawned a broader discussion here in the Executive Suite of World Headquarters about fairness and accuracy. Unless we hear from our readership – and yes, believe it or not, we’re honestly glad to have had the exchange with the official – we don’t really know whether we could have been sharper when reporting on any particular story. We set out each day to make sure we excel at being fair and accurate across our multiple platforms. If we are not, in your esti-mation, we want to know about it.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I survived my first dance mom competition! Technically, I survived my daughter’s first dance

competition, but who are we kid-ding? These things are never really about the girls! Ah, but where to

begin – the over-the-top costumes, the hooker make-up or the generally manic atmosphere of a hotel with hundreds of young dancers ironically juxtaposed against a college football coach con-vention? Let’s just go with general impressions.

Keep in mind that my only dance experience prior to my 9-year-old’s start last year was one torturous high school semester of ballet way back in 1986. I had absolutely no idea what to ex-pect, save for the few episodes of “Dance Moms” I’ve had the displeasure of watching. So I set my super-keen observation skills on high alert and prepared to judge other women ruthlessly. ‘Cause that’s what dance moms do, right?

I would love to announce that my imagination wasn’t too far off or that I actually saw Abby Lee destroying a little girl’s self-esteem and all her chances of successful relationships and future happiness. But alas, there were no “pyramids,” no spray tans or flippers, nothing even close to Hollywood’s portrayal of dance people other than an overabundance of Kardashian-quality false eyelashes. Unfortunately for your reading pleasure, I was somewhat taken aback by the mature attitudes, the professional atmosphere

and the genuine joy my daughter took from this experience.

Yes, I think spending hundreds of dollars on sequined poodle skirts and bandeau tops is utterly ludicrous, and by the end of the day’s performances I could have happily punched out a few of the competing studios’ obnoxiously loud mothers, but when I saw my daughter perform for the first time, she literally took my breath away. How could such a bratty, often-goofy dra-ma queen transform into a young lady with such grace and poise? Who was that confident girl up there turning (dancers don’t say “spinning”!) and smiling and winking at the judges? I could totally see how parents become sucked into the whole racket. On several occasions I even caught myself bad-mouthing the judges and criticizing opposing dancers even though I haven’t the faintest notion of what makes a solid tap routine or a technically challenging lyrical. I could feel my competitive mama bear instinct trying to claw her way out. Uh-oh. I might be in trouble.

A dance mom. Huh. I never thought I’d be one, but so long as I’m here, I may as well rock the shnikey out of it! So with jazz hands accompani-ment, I proudly say “Peace out!”

Pleasant surprise at dance contest

Commentary by Mike Redmond

Been baking a lot of bread lately. I do this when there’s snow on the ground, or in the

forecast, or within the realm of seasonal possibility.

In other words, it’s how I pass the winter. Summer, autumn and spring I buy bread, but in the winter I’m a bread-bakin’ fool.

I guess it’s my version of the panic response that sends people to the store for French toast ingredients – milk, eggs and bread – every time the weather loonies on TV bring up the possibil-ity of more than a half-inch of winter precipita-tion. I run to the store, too, except I go for flour and yeast.

So, anyway, lately there has been a lot of loaf-ing around at my house. Bread loafing.

Because I am a little out of practice – it’s been at least a year since I baked – I started with trying to make some good-old plain white bread. When it’s right, you can’t beat a loaf of homemade white bread still warm from the oven. It brings back memories of Grandma cutting me a big slice of freshly baked bread, spreading it thickly with butter and strawberry jam and handing it to me with a peck on the cheek and a pat on the head. Which is weird, because my grandmother never did any of those things. As long as I knew her, she bought her bread from the bread man or at the grocery store.

Well, my bread started out promisingly

enough, I guess, but something happened along the way. It never did rise properly and when I baked it, it came out … well, let’s just say that one of the loaves is presently holding up the sofa where the leg broke off.

Undaunted, I pressed on, baking loaf after loaf, adjusting things here, fixing things there, until I finally produced a loaf of white bread that didn’t automatically go into the basket where we keep the bird food. It rose nice and high, had a good crust and a tender crumb, and actually tasted like something you might want to eat. I was back in the game.

Next stop was whole wheat bread. Now, whole wheat is tricky. You talk about baking bricks … if you haven’t done it before, or have laid off for a while, whole wheat flour can produce a loaf of outstanding building material. It took me nearly an entire bag of flour to produce one I could actually slice and chew. I’m saving the others for when I repave the backyard walkway this spring.

I used to make a pretty good loaf of rye bread and it might be nice to try again. It’ll probably take me a few tries but that’s ok. The pathway needs more pavers.

ATI’s Don Farrell, left, in one of the earliest pro-ductions of the show at the Forestburgh Play-house in Monticello, N.Y. (Submitted photo)

By Karen Kennedy • [email protected]

Four squeaky clean, handsome guys with slicked-back hair and matching white jackets

appear and serenade you with songs such as “Heart and Soul,” “Lady of Spain,” “Three Coins in

the Fountain” and “Love is a Many Splendored Thing” in tight, lush, four-part harmony.

Sounds heavenly, right? Heavenly it is, because these guys are, well,

dead. “Forever Plaid” opens at Actors Theatre of In-

diana on Jan. 31 and runs through Feb. 16. It’s a good-natured, nostalgic romp through the 1950s that tells the tale of four high school friends, Sparky, Jinx, Smudge and Frankie, a vocal quar-tet called the Plaids, with dreams of making the big time. Unfortunately, their dreams are short-lived as they end up meeting the same fate as several of the stars of their time. As they are en route to pick up their plaid tuxedos for their first real singing gig, they are killed, not in a plane

crash, but in a collision with a school bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls who are on their way to see the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.

As the show begins, the Plaids return from the afterlife to perform the show they never got to do during their time on Earth.

“Forever Plaid” originated as a skit for an Eq-uity Fights Aids benefit. It was a big hit there, so its creator, Stuart Ross, developed it into a full show and it opened off Broadway in 1990. The show has a storied history and a cult-like fol-lowing, and Don Farrell, the show’s director and ATI’s artistic director, is a part of that history.

“I first performed the show in 1995 at the Forestburgh Playhouse in Monticello, N.Y.,” Far-rell said. “And then it came to Beef and Boards, where it was directed by Larry Raben, a Carmel High School graduate. I played Sparky, and I had to learn how to eat fire. I wish I could say that was the hardest thing about the show, but it’s not. The show is so complicated to learn that directors only ever wanted to cast guys who had already been a ‘Plaid.’”

“And then I started directing the show,” Far-rell said. “I was the ‘Plaid Man.’ I directed two or three productions a year for a while there, and that led to my directing Judy (Fitzgerald) and Cindy (Collins) in ‘The Tafettas.’ If I hadn’t been for ‘Plaid,’ I don’t think ATI would exist today.”

For this production, Farrell has bucked tradi-tion and cast four actors who have never done the show before.

“I wanted to pass on the tradition of being a ‘Plaid’ to a new generation,” Farrell said.

Steve Greist, a native Hoosier and Chicago-based actor, plays the self-assured, suave but unfortunately asthmatic Frankie. Greist was most recently seen in Beef and Boards’ produc-tion of “Les Miserables.”

Tim Hunt, an ATI favorite who recently por-trayed Snail in “A Year with Frog and Toad” and Fred Casely in “Chicago,” plays the role of “Sparky,” the excitable practical joker.

Ohio native Will Hutcheson plays Jinx, who is Sparky’s nosebleed-prone stepbrother and is in the group only because the jacket fits and he can hit the high notes. He was last seen on the ATI stage in “Route 66” last year.

Recent Indiana University grad and New York-based actor Kurt Semmler will make his ATI de-but in the role of Smudge, the group’s neurotic, left-handed arranger.

Brent Marty directs the music for the production.

The show is performed in one act and features 32 songs from the era, with snappy choreography interspersed with hilarious patter between the Plaids as they tell the audience about their previous lives and dreams. By the end of the show, they have fulfilled their Mis-sion of Harmony. They return to their heavenly reward, and the audience returns to reality after a highly entertaining evening.

Commentary by Marty Wood

Statistically, the U.S. has more than 27 mil-lion people over age 50 with hearing loss, yet

only one in seven recognizes and chooses to address this loss. With the increased use

of cellphones, ear buds and high-performance speakers, as well as exposure to damaging noise levels in our environment, hearing loss is on the rise. However, it is widely recognized that the last person to acknowledge hearing loss is the one who has it.

Why don’t we listen to what our ears can no longer tell us? Traditional hearing loss is gener-ally gradual, occurring over several years. A common reaction is to justify hearing loss with statements like, “I have selective hearing” or “I hear just fine when people speak slowly and clearly.” In fact, most people wait seven to 10 years before seeking help.

A hearing loss can cause people to become irritable, start to withdraw socially and, in some cases, begin to forget the sounds they no longer hear. It can erode both physical and mental acu-ity. Studies have shown that many with hearing

Listen to your earsloss may face an increased risk of falling, de-mentia and depression. Many experience higher levels of stress and fatigue. Hearing loss com-bined with vision loss in older men has shown to increase mortality risk from cardiovascular dis-ease. Hearing loss can affect your lifestyle and your relationships with friends and family.

Have you had your hearing tested recently? Ask those nearest you to count the times you say, “What?” Do you hear better when someone is speaking directly to you than when several people are speaking? Do you hear well in a restaurant or other group settings? Is the TV or radio volume often too loud for others? Do you hear others when they are speaking to you from another room in your home? Do you hear ringing in your ears?

Listen to others and understand what your ears can no longer tell you by getting your hear-ing tested today.

Exercise reduces breast cancer risk by 42 percent – An 11-year study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab showed that individuals who spent 2 ½ hours of moderate exercise or 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigor-ous exercise per week were 42 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than those who fell short. www.self.com

Vitamin D eases Fibro pain – If you suffer from Fibromyalgia and have low levels of Vitamin D, an increase in consumption of the vitamin can reduce painful symptoms. In a trial, 30 women who took supplements for 25 weeks reported less pain and morning fatigue over time. Take the recommended dosage of the vitamin – taking too much can be toxic to your body. www.webmd.com

Best ways to cope with stress – To most effec-tively reduce stress levels in your life, consume Vi-tamin D, which boosts serotonin levels, or surround yourself by plants, which lower systolic blood pres-sure. Maintain a daily routine, whether it’s walking the dog, listening to your favorite playlist or taking a bath before bedtime. Other ways include focus-ing on hand and body activities, such as kneading bread, knitting a scarf or climbing a rock wall. www.healthyliving.msn.com

Alcohol, middle age and memory – A study with middle-age adults showed that consuming more than 2 ½ alcoholic beverages per day can increase memory loss later in life by up to six years. There was no difference in memory tests for individuals that consumed fewer alcoholic beverages. www.healthyliving.msn.com

Tucanos to bring taste of Rio

NOW OPEN

By Karen Kennedy • [email protected]

Attention all carnivores.Hamilton County’s already vibrant dining scene

will soon broaden consider-ably as Tucanos Brazilian Grill nears its projected Febru-

ary opening date at Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville.

Tucanos will serve Rio de Janeiro-inspired Brazilian churrasco (a Portuguese and Spanish term which refers to grilled meat).

For those who have not yet experienced a Brazilian steakhouse, here’s what to expect.

A dazzling buffet-type offering starts your meal. The term “salad bar” cannot begin to de-scribe it. Tucanos calls its own a “Salad Festival” and promises more than 70 hot and cold items. You could easily just graze your way through this amazing feast and call it a day. (And vegetarians or those wanting to eat semi-lightly may actually choose that option.)

However, if you’re planning to eat some meat, you have to plan wisely, because when you sig-nal that you are ready for it (by flipping the “cue” on your table to green), you will be surrounded by servers bearing enormous skewers of freshly roasted beef, pork, turkey, chicken, sausage and vegetables, which they will carve tableside and slide right onto your plate. Assorted breads and fried bananas also come to your table to comple-ment your meal. If, by some miracle, you have

Whether you choose grilled meats or vegetables, servers at Tucanos will slice your food right at the table. (Submitted photo)

room for dessert, a tempting selection is also available, including a mango butter cake, tradi-tional flan and a chocolate tower.

Once fully open, Tucanos will create more than 130 new jobs in Noblesville, including servers, hosts and management. Those who are interest-ed in working at Tucanos can attend its job fair, which runs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through Jan. 24 at the Cambria Suites hotel in Noblesville.

“It’s exciting to continue our Indiana expansion with the opening of this Noblesville location,” said Steve Oldham, founder and CEO of the Den-ver-based company. “We look forward to bringing a taste of Brazil to the local dining landscape and introducing our tableside dining experience to Hamilton County and neighboring communities.”

The Black Plum Café, which features organic and chef-created menu items, is open in down-

town Westfield. Having been in business only since early November, owner Nancy

Nearon has already established regular patrons, and business has steadily increased.

“The Black Plum is a café with old world charm that offers some of the world’s finest brewed coffee and highest quality teas,” she said. “It is a quaint, sit-down dining café with an ambiance like none other around town. It includes bistro and family seating, as well as a lounge nook for two or more. Outdoor seating is available during warmer months in a rose garden overlooking a koi pond.”

Nearon also has established a catering business where customers can make specific requests for menu items. The requested items will be made from scratch with fresh ingredi-ents, Nearon said.

The Black Plum also specializes in made-to-order dessert cakes and pies, including an amaretto carrot cake and a Mayan chocolate pie. Cheesecakes will be available for pickup starting in January.

In the short time Nearon has been serving Westfield residents, some of the menu items have already become fan favorites.

“Popular food items include cranberry pecan

cookies; chef-created gourmet wintertime soups; and healthy, garden-fresh sandwich-es served with heirloom tomatoes,” she said.

Alongside those items, Nearon also offers homemade biscotti, organic coffees and teas, and a variety of breakfast and lunch dishes that are served all day.

The Black Plum Café, 303 E. Main St., is open 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Nearon said the café will open earlier once her staff grows. To order desserts, call the café at 804-7586 48 hours in advance. To schedule a catered event, call the café number during hours of operation. After business hours, call Nearon at 385-2712 for questions or catering requests.

Buffett offers $1 billion for perfect NCAA bracket – Participants in office pools around the country are sure to dip this year. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and Dan Gilbert’s Quicken Loans are partnering to award $1 billion to anyone who fills out a perfect 2014 NCAA men’s basketball tournament bracket. The prize will be paid out in 40 annual installments of $25 million. If there’s more than one winner, they’ll have to share. The winner or winners can also opt to take or split an immediate $500 million lump-sum payment. In addition to the grand prize, Quicken will award $100,000 each to the contest’s 20 most accurate imperfect brackets submitted by qualified entrants in the contest to use toward buying, refinancing or remodeling a home.

Change coming for credit cards? – The recent massive data breaches at retailers over the holiday season, which compro-mised at least 70 million cus-tomers’ credit card information, have some experts predicting an increased call to get chip-based cards to become mainstream in the U.S. Credit cards that use smart chips instead of magnetic strips, called EMV cards, are harder for hackers to duplicate and are common across Europe, according to Rob Sadowski, director of technology solutions for cyber security firm RSA. However, they have yet to be implemented across the U.S. because many mer-chants do not have the proper technology to accept the cards in stores. SOURCE: Fox Business

F.C. Tucker Company. Overall in 2013, 29,302 homes were sold, an increase of 3,596 homes in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks.

In Hamilton County in 2013, 6,521 homes were sold, an increase of 917 homes from 2012. Year-to-date, home prices were also up 5.6 percent, to $254,167, from $240,652 over the same time period last year.

• In Noblesville, year-to-date home prices finished strong. Overall, the average sales price rose 10.8 percent, to $208,459, from

$188,090 in 2012.• Homes in Noblesville are selling faster. In

2013, homes stayed on the market an aver-age of 73 days, 27 fewer days than in 2012.

• As inventory tightened, the number of closings increased. Year-to-date 2013, 1,277 home sales were closed, an increase of 29 percent from 2012.

We’re optimistic about the start of the new year. Prices are up, inventory is tightening and homes are selling faster – all signs of a strength-ening market.

Home sales, prices on the rise

Commentary by Don Knebel

Seville, a beautiful city in southern Spain, is famous for more than its barber. Ferdinand Ma-

gellan’s fleet started its round-the-world voyage from Seville in 1519. Seville’s archive of original writings

documenting the story of 15th- and 16th-century Spanish explorers is a United Nations Educa-tional, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage site. Seville’s cathedral, the second larg-est church in Europe, contains at least part of what was once Christopher Columbus.

By the 15th century, Seville had become one of the most prosperous cities in Europe, profit-ing enormously from trade passing through its inland port. The cathedral was begun in 1401 to show Seville’s wealth to the entire Christian world. When completed more than 100 years later, the cathedral covered more than 100,000 square feet. A royal decree then required that all trade with the New World go through Seville, further increasing its wealth and prestige.

When Christopher Columbus died in 1506, after his fourth voyage across the Atlantic, his body lay for a while in Seville before being transported to Santo Domingo in what is now the Dominican Republic. When Spain ceded Santo Domingo to

France in 1795, remains said to be those of Co-lumbus were sent to Cuba, where they stayed until after the Spanish-American War. In 1902, the remains were shipped back across the Atlantic and placed into a tomb in Seville’s cathedral in front of a massive painting of St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers.

In 1877, workers in Santo Domingo found a box containing what they claimed, with some justifi-cation, were the bones of Christopher Columbus. To resolve claims alleging that the Seville cathe-dral had the wrong body, scientists conducted DNA tests on the Seville tomb’s contents. The tests showed a close match with Columbus’ known descendants, but also revealed that the massive tomb contains less than 200 grams of what one guide describes as a “potpourri” of bone fragments. The Dominicans rejected these tests, but have not tested their bones. Colum-bus, who departed Spain and landed near Santo Domingo on his first trip across the Atlantic, may appropriately now rest in both places.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I allowed myself to stray briefly into a political discussion this week, and an expression came up that I’ve used frequently without ever won-dering about its origin.

The idiom in question: to throw one’s hat in the ring

We know what it means, of course – to enter the race, to join a contest, etc. – but where does the expression come from? Boxing, it turns out.

In the early days of boxing, bare-fisted or otherwise, the rings were literal rings formed by spectators. To offer yourself up as a fighter, or to challenge another, you simply threw your hat into the ring.

The first recorded use of the term in a boxing context occurred in the early 1800s. But how did it evolve into a political saying? We have avid boxer and 26th President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. to thank for that.

In 1912, a reporter asked Roosevelt about his

plans to challenge incumbent President Howard Taft, who had succeeded him. Old Teddy’s re-sponse? “My hat is in the ring; the fight is on and I’m stripped to the buff.”

Roosevelt went on to split from his era’s mainstream Republican party and formed the short-lived Progressive Party, otherwise known as the Bull Moose Party, of 1912. His political ambitions to reclaim the presidency for progres-sivism ultimately failed, but his bullish, boxer’s response to politics took root, especially with his use of the idiom.

Today you’ll hear politicians and pundits alike talk about who’s throwing his or her hat into an upcoming political race. Fortunately, despite how divided the parties seem to be these days, poli-tics rarely comes to fisticuffs.

Throw your hat in the ring

Commentary by Kristen Boice

Are you at a crossroads and feeling com-pletely paralyzed because you don’t know which

direction to take? We can feel stuck and afraid of making the

wrong decision. We may feel overwhelmed with anxiety, depression and fear. And some can end up in complete shutdown mode.

Taking no action will lead to feeling more stuck or like you are spinning your wheels. The key is to take some action. There really are no mistakes. We will not always get it right because we are human beings navigating the world.

Below are some helpful steps to help you pick a path.

1. Determine what matters most to you. What do you value? Is it time with your family, flexibility, money, recognition, faith, freedom, authenticity, joy, accountability, etc.? Answering this question will help guide you. If we know our values, then we can see if the choices be-fore us align with these values. If not, it makes the decision clearer.

2. Make a list of pros and cons for each option. Seeing the list written down and go-ing through the process can lead to clarity and release us from feeling powerless and overwhelmed.

3. Identify the fear. What are you afraid of?

Are you afraid of failing, not being good enough, what other people will think or not living up to expectations? Where is the fear coming from? Is it messages from parents, caregivers, a boss, friend or co-worker? Are they old messages that no longer serve you? If we let fear drive our train, we will never move forward.

4. Give yourself permission not to have the “right” answer. Treat yourself like you would treat your friend. Show yourself compas-sion. Do you feel better when you beat yourself up and feel worthless? NO! That doesn’t help us make a decision. It’s important we know that whatever decision we make, we will learn something from it.

5. Pick a mantra or theme song. Shift from feeling fear and stress to saying, “I can do this!” What song motivates and lifts you up? I love Enigma’s song “Return to Innocence.” I play it when I need a boost to remember what mat-ters. Pick one that works for you. Sometimes we need to pick a mantra or saying that works for us, such as, “Trust and believe that everything happens exactly the way it is supposed to.” It’s important that you take time to come up with one that really speaks to you. Now, go for it!

Commentary by David Decker

Whether they are used in tile or hardwood designs, patterns can bring visual excitement

and interest into your renovation project. An ordinary backsplash or flooring design can be trans-

formed simply by integrating a pattern into it. With all of the varieties available on the market, patterns can do just about anything, including add color, form texture or create visual frames. Let’s explore the variety of ways you can use stylish tile and hardwood patterns to transform the look of any space.

Shape: Mix things up and try creating a pat-tern that uses a variety of shapes and sizes. For example, you could install a hardwood-flooring pattern that implements a variety of plank widths. Or you could choose to install a mosaic tile backsplash that uses a combination of rect-angles and squares. These types of patterns are especially effective in small areas because they inventively trick the eye into thinking the space is larger than it is.

Direction: Patterns can be created based on the direction you lay your tile or wood planks. Two popular directional patterns are diagonal and herringbone styles. These patterns’ sym-metrical designs have a timeless quality to them, which has been the key to their enduring popularity.

Color: If you are looking for a way to brighten

Using patterns to create an impactup a room, you might want to select a pattern that integrates color into the design. This is a great way throw in a pop of color in a way that won’t appear overwhelming.

Texture: Patterns using a variety of materials can create exciting textures. If used effectively, texture can add dimension and interest to a design.

Borders: Borders and frame patterns can be a fun way to highlight specific features in a room or home. There’s no better way to make some-thing stand out than by installing a frame around it. In the bathroom, you can place a tile border pattern around the shower area or vanity space. If you are remodeling the kitchen, you could use the same technique to frame the sink or oven range. This type of pattern is a seemingly small touch that adds a distinctive look.

Patterns can be tricky to design effectively. You don’t want to overwhelm the eye with a busy or overly colorful pattern. It might be an excellent idea to consult with a designer before installing a new pattern. A designer can help you sort through options and create a dynamic pat-tern that updates a room’s entire look and feel.

Dear UnitedHealthcare member:

As a patient of Indiana University Health and a member of UnitedHealthcare, you may have encountered questions or been asked to make decisions as a result of our on-going contract negotiations. We understand that managing your health and the health of your family members is one of your top priorities, so we are doing everything we can to resolve this matter and provide you with the information you need.

What steps are we taking?

In-network statusFirst, we let you know earlier this year that IU Health made the decision to consider your portion of the bill to be “in-network.” This special status means you will continue to be billed as if IU Health is in your insurance network. You are still responsible for any deductibles and copays based on your plan.

Why this special “in-network” status? IU Health values you as a patient, understands the importance of maintaining your relationships with trusted, highly-skilled care providers and wants to minimize the financial impact to you, as a patient. This special status will apply to the portion of your bill that is based on your 2014 benefit levels, and it will be offered for a period of time as we continue to work toward an agreement.

Advocating for an extensionIU Health has proposed an extension of our contract as we continue to work with UnitedHealthcare to negotiate a new contract. An extension would allow you, as a patient of IU Health and a UnitedHealthcare member, to continue receiving care from your trusted providers as you always have.

For more informationTo give you quick access to additional information, we have established a resource for your use: iuhealth.org/unitedmembers Here you’ll find answers to frequently asked questions and additional contact information.

What steps can you take?If you have questions about your care with IU Health, please contact your IU Health physician or medical professional’s office. With questions concerning your health plan, please contact your Human Resources Benefits Administrator.

We pledge our continuing commitment to reach an agreement with UnitedHealthcare that benefits you, our patients.

Regards,

John Kohne, MDChief Medical Executive, Indiana University HealthChief Medical Executive, IU Health Physicians
