ON THE WEB While the buzz lately is all about specialty craft cocktails with elaborate syrups and mixers, the next “new wave” in drinks is the punch bowl. It allows holi-day hosts to avoid the cost of stocking a full bar and yet providing a fun welcome or a time to make a toast and thank their guests. Lori Goldsby offers two punch recipes to try out at your next party. To read more, visit currentnoblesville.com

Like the recent Spider-Man re-boot, remaking a cheesy 1980s TV show about an over-the-hill spy who helps everyday people doesn’t seem like a very intui-tive move. But Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua, who previously teamed up successfully on “Training Day,” manage to create an engaging story and character that uses the show as a mere jumping-off point.

It included holiday fun, crafts, stories, hot chocolate and a special wagon ride through the park.

Schedule change – Starting in 2015, the monthly meetings of the Noblesville Plan Com-mission and the Noblesville Board of Zoning Appeals will begin at 6 p.m. Based on feedback from commission and board members, the public and city staff, the decision has been made to move the meeting start times up one hour. The location for each meeting will remain at City Hall in the Council Chambers. The plan commission meets on the third Monday of each month and the BZA meets on the first Monday. For questions about the time change, call 776-6325.

Trash pickup – Noblesville Athletic Club, 411 S. Harbour Dr., will host an open house from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 1.

NAC has been locally owned and oper-ated for more than 30 years. For more informa-tion, call 776-0222 or visit nacfitness.com.

Taking a bite out of crime – During a recent traffic stop K9 Macho alerted to a vehicle where approxi-mately one pound of marijuana and ap-proximate-ly seven grams of crack co-caine were located. The Hamil-ton County Drug Task Force was called to the scene for further investigation. With NPD and DTF working together more marijuana, crack co-caine, powder cocaine, hash and money re-lated to the narcotics were taken as evidence.

ICC focused on seven priorities

CHAMBEr

By Mark Robinson • [email protected]

Area business leaders received a preview of po-tential hot topics during the upcoming 2015 Indiana

Legislature session when Kevin Brinegar, president and CEO of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce,

spoke at Oak Hill Mansion in Carmel.Chamber of commerce members from throughout

Hamilton County attended the Dec. 12 breakfast, as did Donna Schaibley, recently named to replace Steve Braun as state representative from District 24 that covers parts of Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville and Sheridan.

Brinegar, a Noblesville resident who has been ICC president for 12 years, said his group is focused on seven priorities in the areas of education, infra-structure, labor relations and taxation, where its eight lobbyists will monitor and attempt to influence legislation.

Brinegar said the ICC would still like to see the state’s business property tax completely eliminated, “but it won’t be this year.” In the meantime, the ICC is behind legislation to have businesses that pay less than $200 annually in the tax be freed from doing so. He said that would cut more than half of the state’s 270,000 business filers off the list, yet it would only see a $10 million decrease in business property tax revenue of the $6.7 billion generated annually.

Another business-related focus is for a work-shar-ing program that would allow an employee whose hours are reduced to receive some unemployment compensation. Currently, only those completely out of work in Indiana can access the unemployment system. The ICC favors legislation that would give employees whose workload has been reduced a proportionate amount of unemployment benefits. For instance, a 30 percent reduction in hours would yield 30 percent of full unemployment compensation. Employers would also have to maintain full benefits for the reduced-hours employees.

“There’s a majority of states that have adopted this legislation and we’d like Indiana to do that,” Brin-egar said. “That way, the employee stays employed and the employer doesn’t lose the talent so that when the economy picks back up, they don’t have to start from scratch and go find somebody. They can just increase the hours back.”

In education, Brinegar said the ICC favors expand-

ed preschool funding for low-income families; using existing national academic standards tests with modifications for Indiana, instead of spending “tens of millions of dollars developing our own”; and mak-ing the superintendent of public instruction position appointed by the governor instead of elected.

“The governor appoints every other department head, he ought to appoint the head of the depart-ment of education,” Brinegar said. “That’s been the position of both political parties over the years, it’s been the position of the state teachers union until recently, until they got their own candidate elected.”

Brinegar said a two-year INDOT study revealed that revenue from gasoline and diesel taxes is less than it was 10 years ago because of the alternative vehicle power sources developed such as electricity and natural gas. That leaves an annual $750 million gap in the state’s road and highway maintenance budget. The ICC favors increasing the amount of fuel tax going to the highway fund (instead of the state general fund), indexing the fuel tax to inflation and taxing alternative fuel vehicles with higher license plate fees.

A Noblesville High School teacher has been accused of inap-propriate contact with a student according to a press release by

Noblesville Schools on Dec. 19.In the statement read, “It has come to our

attention that a Noblesville High School teacher has been accused of inappropriate conduct with a minor student. Student safety is our number one priority and Noblesville Schools

takes an allegation of this nature very seriously. As such, the teacher in question was immediately removed from contact with students, and based on the investigation of this claim we have begun the process of terminating employment. We also immedi-ately contacted the Noblesville Police Department and are working closely with them on the investigation into this matter.

Noblesville Schools has not released the name of the teacher and added it has “no other information to share at this time.”

NPD Spokesman Lt. Bruce Barnes said the department was

investigating the matter and since it was an ongoing case no ad-ditional information would be released at this time.

“School officials notified the Noblesville Police Dept. about this matter on Dec. 17,” he said. “Investigators from our agency have been working in close cooperation with school officials from the onset.”

Neither the schools nor NPD commented on if the alleged inap-propriate conduct happened on or off school grounds.

Approximately 200 were on board the Polar Bear Express train when two wheels derailed the track near downtown Noblesville on Dec.

19. Officials said there were no injuries in the incident.

The train is run by the Indiana Transportation Museum in Noblesville, which investigated the incident’s cause. The train was returning to Fishers and had just crossed the White River when the wheels left the track. Officials said the train was moving

slowly because it was approaching downtown when the incident occurred. Buses shuttled passengers back to the Fishers Train Station where the trip originated. The train was back in service the following day after being inspected.

This is the second incident in the past two months for ITM trains.

On Nov. 8 an ITM train was involved in a fatal crash when a 17-year-old driver disregarded warning signals and pulled in front of the train at a Tipton intersection. Officials determined all lights and audible warning devices were work-ing for both the train and the crossing.

Train wheels leave track, no injuries

ACCIDENT

Be aware of new scam – The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has recently been made aware of resi-dents who have received telephone calls requiring them to purchase prepaid credit cards and submit a payment in order to avoid arrest for not appearing in court for jury duty. In yet another twist on the scam, officials said the perpetrators use the names of real officers. To read more, visit currentnobles-ville.com.

Samantha Steffen, a 27-year-old Carmel High School graduate, will appear on “The Bachelor.”

The ABC show starts this season at 8 p.m. on Jan. 5. She will be one of 30 contes-

tants vying for Chris Soules’ attention in Season 19 of the reality dating show. Steffen, a 5-foot-5 fashion de-signer, is the daughter of Mala and Joseph Steffen. The Stef-fen family lived in Carmel but now has home in Noblesville. Steffen lives in Los Angeles with her 3.5-pound teacup Maltese. She came in seventh in the Miss California USA Pageant. One of her projects was going to Africa to dig wells for clean water. Her uncle, Manoj Bhargava, founder and CEO of 5-Hour Energy, devotes 90 percent of his profits to charity. Bhargava was born in India and moved to the U.S. at age 14.

Q and A with Sammi:Can’t live without: My family, Kallie (my

3.5 pound Teacup Maltese), friends, lip gloss, chocolate.

Biggest date fear: Dating someone who is selfish and arrogant. I love it when my date acts like a gentleman. I hate it when my date does nothing but talk about himself.

Do you consider yourself neat or messy? Neat to a fault – drives me crazy if my house isn’t neat.

Are you a little bit country or more of a city person? Both! I grew up more in the country, but have lived in New York City and Los Angeles for the past four and a half years. Even-tually the country might be better as it may be a better environment to raise a family.

Do you consider yourself a romantic? Yes because I enjoy romantic situations like candlelit dinners, sunsets, being cozy, holding hands, etc.

How important is your family’s approval to you when it concerns dating a certain someone? My family’s approval means every-thing to me because they are the most impor-tant people in my life and they are smart about what’s good for me and we value each other’s opinions. I believe when you marry someone, you are also marrying their family.

Questions and answers provided by ABC television network. Steffen is not to conduct interviews until the show is complete.

This year’s ballots will change as Noblesville transitions to a Second Class City. The change means the Common Council will comprise nine members and not seven. Coun-cilors will be elected from six redistricted areas of the city and three at-large members. Noblesville will have a mayor-appointed financial officer (comptroller) and an elected city clerk instead of a clerk-treasurer.

The Common Council approved a $522,000 red budget last month with plans to use cash reserves to fund the deficit. However, Ditslear said it has been a city tradition for years to spend less than the budget allows. While the city uses a conservative budget, “We’ll probably most likely turn back more than the deficit spending in 2014,” he said, “The budget is tight instead of us going back and asking for money every month.”

The Belfry Theatre is two shows into its 50th season. Up-coming performances for this season include: “Bus Stop” by William Inge, Jan. 30 through Feb. 15; “Noises Off” by Michael Frayn, April 3 through 19; “Nunsense” by Dan Goggin, May 29 through June 14; and the Apprentice Players (youth) show of “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” July 24 through Aug. 2.

lineup includes: Dillon Park, 6001 Edenshall Ln. – Living Proof, May 28; Ripple Effect, June 4;

at Southside Park, between Second and Third streets

and Washington and Pleasant streets.

Federal Hill – The newest city park will break ground this summer. Parks Dept. Director Brandon

Bennett said the construction timeframe is 10 months. “It will be completed in 2016, most will be built in 2015, I hope,” said Ditslear. “We’ll certainly get a good start on that.” The creation of Federal Hill will connect the west side of White River to downtown, provide the city with another amentity and will serve as an economic

spark to that area. Ditslear said Riverview Health has plans to expand into the old Kahlo lot.

Dog Park – The city’s first park dedicated for canines will be started next year. Ditslear said there is a 6.5-acre parcel of the Firestone property located off of Pleasant Street where the soil has been extensively tested for safety, and the EPA has determined that a dog park would be an acceptable use for this property. “It’s such an ideal spot. We’re excited about that,” Ditslear said. The plans provide the first revitalization of the Firestone property and is an amenity the city doesn’t currently offer. The estimated cost is $600,000 which includes the fenced area, parking lot,

places to sit, restrooms and dog obstacles. Design work is being in-house and Bennett said alternative funding

and grants are being sought to assist with costs.• • •

The parks department will hire a new recre-ation director following the retirement of Susie Davis in January.

• • •The department is working to partner

with Ivy Tech to create recreation programming and space at the

community college. Bennett said there is no timeline as the two

work through plans and updates needed in the school.

• • •While Footgolf had a month

of play this fall at Fox Prairie Golf Course, Bennett said the sport will be ramped up in 2015 including possible league play, tournaments and birthday pack-ages with a party room.

Ditslear said the city’s second salt barn will be completed in the first quarter of 2015. The location at Eastside Park (near Klipsch Music Center) provides the city with salt storage on the east and west sides of the city. “It makes us more efficient,” he said. “Drivers will not have to travel to get salt. It will save fuel, time and lets us put more salt down quicker.”

Two of the biggest questions facing the district ended up being easy answers with no changes. Earlier this month, Supt. Dr. Beth Niedermeyer recommended to the school board that no action take place on the potential school

start time switch to begin and end elemen-tary students’ days before middle and

high school students. The second non-change was the school calen-

dar. For the 2015-16 school year, Noblesville again will have a “bal-anced” calendar. School begins Aug. 3 and will end June 3, 2016. Two-week breaks include Oct. 12 through 23, Dec. 21 through Jan.1,

and March 28 through April 8.

Taxes - Did you know that in 2015, the federal government is likely to start taxing online purchases? According to a study done by Columbia University: “Many online merchants that do not collect sales tax have a pricing advantage over traditional stores that must, under law, collect sales tax. Online shoppers are supposed to submit payment for tax due, but almost no one does. As a result, many online purchases are tax-free and cheaper than in-store purchases.” Although the bill to stop this was stalled in the House of Representatives in July, it will be revisited in 2015.

By Robert Herrington • [email protected]

“I think the city is doing well. We’ve accomplished what we want to accomplish in 2014,” Mayor John Ditslear said. “We’re pre-pared to continue to do a great job.”

Ditslear said the city is progressing and growing. One of his goals of 2015 is creating and brining more jobs to the city to increase the commercial tax base. Other projects that residents should take note of this year include:

Law change? Indiana municipalities could no longer annex property owners against their will if lawmakers follow recommendations of a study committee when they reconvene in January. A panel has recommended several changes to the state’s annexation code, including eliminating involuntary annexations and lowering the percentage of homeowners required for a remon-strance. Under the proposal, annexations could occur only if 51 percent or more of affected property owners agree. The percentage required to fight annexation is recommended to de-crease to 51 percent for a remonstrance, compared with 65 percent currently.

In 2014, Noblesville added $101 million to its tax base in ground or promised to be in ground. Economic Development Director Judi Johnson said companies creating or expand-ing their businesses this year include:

Ind. 37 Corridor Terry Lee Hyundai facility southeast cor-

ner of Ind. 32 and Ind. 37, is progressing towards com-pletion with a grand opening in March. The project creates 76 new jobs with a $1.7 million payroll. In addition to the car dealership anchor, the area has 33 developable acres for other tenants and businesses.

• • •Floors to Your Home, 16080 Prosperity

Dr. just off Ind. 37 and Greenfield Avenue intersection, is a family owned discount flooring company. It will open in 2015 with a capital investment of $1.8 million. The store will add approximately 10 full time jobs and additional part time.

Hamilton Town Center /Exit 210Cabela’s: An outfitter of hunting, fishing

and outdoor gear will open in

the fall. It will hire

approxi-mately 170 full and part time

employ-ees for

the 80,000 square foot

facility. The store will be built in Cabela’s next-generation layout, designed to surround customers in a complete outdoor experience. The building’s exterior will reflect Cabela’s popular store model with log construction, stonework, wood siding and metal roofing.

• • •Pharmakon Pharmaceuticals expan-

sion: Pharmakon Pharmaceuticals relocated its corporate headquarters and pharmaceuti-cal division to 14450 Getz Rd. in the Saxony Business Park on Jan. 2. They acquired and fully renovated a 37,000 square foot building. Because of significant growth, they have recently acquired an additional 7 contiguous acres and will construct a 50,000 square

foot expansion starting first quarter of 2015. The expansion will be used for the compa-nies long term care pharmacy business and also provide space for additional business growth. Forty-seven jobs were relocated to Noblesville and Pharmakon expects to hire 150 new employees in the future. All phases of Pharmakon’s purchase and expansion will result in capital investments of real prop-erty totaling approximately $5.8 million and

personal property investments totaling approximately $3.9 million.

• • •Zevacor Molecular: In 2014, Zevacor

Molecular purchased a 72,000 square foot building at 14395 Bergen Blvd. in the Saxony Business Park. The building

was purchased for $7 million and reno-vations are currently underway to ac-

commodate the only commercially-owned 70 MeV Cyclotron dedicated to medical use in the United States. Personal property capital investments will total approximately $30 mil-lion. The facility will be used to manufacture medical isotopes used in the diagnostic im-aging and therapies within oncology, neurol-ogy and cardiology. Manufacturing equipment also opens up the ability to research isotopes currently not widely available in the United States such as Copper-67, which is therapeu-tic for treating cancer. Zevacor will hire 46 high wage employees by December 2018.

• • •Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites

will be coming to the Hamilton Town Center area at 13625 Tegler Dr. The 16,700 square foot hotel will have 123 rooms. It will likely open in the fall.

DowntownID Cast-

ings: In October 2013, ID Castings pur-chased the old foundry, a previously underutilized and dilapidated multitude of buildings (which housed the still functioning staff of In-diana Ductile) on South Eighth Street. In 2014 they started their promised manufacturing equipment purchases which will result in ex-penditures of $31 million. Some equipment to be purchased includes a dust collector sys-tem, air filtration ductwork, hunter molding lines, a sand system and a process control system. The new owner also plans to invest $20 million to overhaul the facility. About half of the facility is targeted for demolition, an existing production line will be refurbished and two new lines are in the works.

City Engineer John Beery said the city will do some roadwork at Hamilton Town Center and around Ivy Tech’s campus to straighten

17th Street, but the major road projects for the year include:

Tenth Street – The city’s southern gateway will undergo construction in the early summer. The five-way stop-light will be turned into a roundabout. The project is in the land acquisition process.

“We know it will be more efficient than what it has been,” Beery said, adding the roundabout will have hardscape in the middle with a decora-tive monument in the center. Construction of the new intersection is expected to take 120 days and will be completed by late fall, according to Beery.

• • •Presley Drive – The city has two more par-

cels to purchase for right of way. Beery said the project, which will run parallel to Ind. 37, has several portions: the roadway, a new bridge on Ind. 32, and the intersections of Presley with Ind. 32 and Pleasant Street. “Some form will be under construction in 2015 and it may spill over in 2016,” he said. “We hope this takes some mo-torists off Ind. 37; it will relieve some traffic now. Traffic for development will use it too.” Beery

5 major projects for 2015said Presley will run just west of the old Goeke building to Best Buy on Pleasant.

• • •Herriman Drive – The road will be extended

to 141st Street. Beery said this is the first phase to extend the street from 131st to 146th streets. “This is a joint city and econom-ic development deal,” he said. “It could be a 2015 project.”

• • •Exit 210 – Beery said the city is work-

ing with INDOT as it is looking at re-structuring the interchange of Campus Parkway and Ind. 69 in 2016.

• • •Midland Trace – Phase I of extending the

Midland Trace Trail from Westfield to downtown Noblesville is Gray Road to Willowview Road. Beery said the city has received $600,000 in state funding to purchase land for the right of way. The project will be built in 2015 and 2016.

• • •While the third and final phase of Riverwalk

is not expected to be built until 2016, Beery said the design is underway. A majority of the coming year will be spent on environmental impact stud-ies and gaining permits. The project will be built in early 2016 with construction that year. Beery said the project has received $1.2 million in fund-ing and the city will pay 20 percent above that amount as its matching portion.

rOADS



tured to adulthood and have initiated their own routes to the altar. And, we consider ourselves lucky to be included in the procession of it all.

The hopeful nature of engagement and eager expectation of a new life together inspires re-flection on the accumulated wisdom of our own successes, and failures, in marriage. What advice would, or should, we offer to the newlyweds? Can our own lives serve as a suitable guide?

Make a commitment to the institution of mar-riage as much as to the other person. Remember that love and commitment are not the same thing. Laugh. Be honest. Don’t conflate caring for each other with taking care of each other. Understand what matters, and what doesn’t. And most importantly, enjoy each season, rain or shine, secure in knowing that as one passes another will follow.

Commentary by Terry Anker

Ecclesiastes accurately claims, “to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...” While my youngest credits the Peter Seeger lyrics to the 1965 Byrds song “Turn, Turn, Turn” that he has memorized from his 26 watchings of “Forest Gump,” the Bible, pardon the pun, is the genesis of the apt de-scription of the natural patterns of life.

There was a time, not so very long ago, that we were attending the weddings of our own contemporaries and close friends. The late spring and summer months would find us travelling on seemingly every weekend to some home-town bridal destination. But as the years have marched on, most of us have comfortably settled into life. Save the occasional remarriage or re-newal of vows, our June weekends have been largely nuptially unencumbered.

Yet as the verse predicted, with the end of one season another has begun. Now we are finding our way to the ceremonies of the children of our friends. Somehow, these youngsters have ma-

Unions, in general, mystify us. One of us has been a card-carrying member (against his will, no less) of a newspaper-representing organization (term used loosely) and both of us have worked in environs where “the union rule” oftentimes prevented work from being done in an orderly fashion. We understand unions ostensibly exist to negotiate for em-ployee rights, but some of the antics that have resulted in pure ugliness are, we believe, not what the founders of organized labor intended. But up through the years the sleaze factor has redlined, and these days it encompasses challenges of multiple laws. Could it be the left is so crafty as to get liberal judges elected to help organized labor achieve on its goals? Well, yes, although as conservatives we don’t like to recognize such genius (Did we really just use that word?). In general, we believe some voters are too uninformed to fully understand the ramifications of electing liberals to the bench. And so the announcement earlier this month that the Indiana Supreme Court re-jected a United Steelworkers Union challenge to our state’s Right to Work law, was met with no small amount of excitement across our metro region. The USW actually argued that unions have a right to force workers to pay for their unwanted organizational services. It just doesn’t make sense. Workers have been forced to pay union dues just to keep their jobs, despite the fact that they do not belong to the union nor sought the union’s represen-tation. We’re glad the Supreme Court justices saw the forest for the trees on this one.

• • •Local government floods our inboxes with

a lot of information, and even some of it actu-ally is important. We won’t isolate the guilty parties, but recent missives have warned us that if we’re going to be partying on New Year’s Eve we should consume high-protein foods to help sideline the effects of booze. We also learned that local police will drive by your home if you’re on vacation. It’s your tax dollars hard at work, folks. Happy New Year!

Holiday memoriesCommentary by Danielle Wilson

Two phrases you never want to hear around the holidays are “The toilet is overflow-ing” and “The tree just fell over.” Luckily for your entertainment, both were uttered in my household recently. Enjoy!

I was already at work, trying to get settled for the day, when I received a frantic phone call from my husband Doo. “Get. Home. NOW.” Huh? He went on to explain, quite hysterically I might add, how he was in the midst of sop-ping up run over from our main floor commode but had an eight-o’clock meeting he simply could not miss. During our terse conversation, all hell broke loose when the potty literally erupted like Old Faithful. I could only imagine the scene: Doo in his dress slacks and button-down shoving his hands to block the geyser of filth attempting to drown him and the rest of our poor bathroom while shouting obscenities over the phone. Needless to say, he hung up with some additional solid cursing and a “You’ll have to take the day off. I’m out.”

Momma to the rescue! I organized a substi-tute (or rather had our secretary; I hadn’t the slightest idea how to find someone on such short notice!), jumped in the van, called the plumber (who of course couldn’t be there until noon and maybe not until five) and arrived back at the house to find 13 soaked beach towels and a thankfully now-draining john. (Later I discovered a leak into our finished basement but by that point there was noth-ing to do but lay more towels and sanitize with Lysol.) When the plumber finally took a look-see (at 2:30 p.m. by the way), of course he couldn’t find anything out of sorts: “You definitely had a blockage but it seems to have cleared itself, ma’am.” No schnitzel, Sherlock! A whole day wasted to learn nothing but the obvious. Good times, go-od times.

Then the following afternoon, on my way home, my middle son calls and announces quite casually, “Ugh, the Christmas tree just fell over.” The 13-foot, real Douglas fir fully-dec-orated with large, fire-hazard lights and hun-dreds of sentimental fragile ornaments? Yes, that one. Glockenspiel! How many disasters can a gal take? When I walked through the door, I saw our entire family room littered with shards of wood and glass, pine needles, and of course, a huge conifer laid out on the sofa. I wanted to cry, such was the sad sight, but in-stead, posted a picture entitled “Timmmberrr!” to Facebook. Misery does love company.

Life happens, my friends, and usually when you least expect it. I hope you were able to make some holiday memories for yourself, but with much less mess!

Peace out.

Ringing in the New Year safely at fairgrounds

HOlIDAYS


Staying in means staying out of trouble or potentially bothersome situations for those who attend the First Night Noblesville New Year’s Eve

event Dec. 31 at the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds, 2003 Pleasant St.

This is the fourth time event coordinator Jim Wafford of Logan Street Signs & Banners will host the event. Wafford said last year’s event had 450 people in attendance.

“We had over 100 people come for the movies (Despicable Me 2),” Wafford said. “Seventy-five to 80 people were still there at 11:45 p.m. watching the ball drop. Many people then stayed around and helped us clean up. It was a pleasant surprise.”

First Night Noblesville opens at 7 p.m. and ends after a live feed of the ball drop in Times Square at midnight. The kitchen opens at 8 p.m. with snacks and drinks provided by Meijer and Greek’s Pizzeria and Bingo starts at 10 p.m. The event also has coloring books and crayons for youngsters, tons of board games and activities, mini basketball and two ping pong tables.

In the past, Wafford has shown family clas-sics. This year he will show the recently released

“Blended” starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barry-more at 7:30 p.m. Also new is live music by Jen-nifer Johnson from 9 to 10 p.m. Wafford said door prizes will be given away at least every half-hour during the event.

Wafford said the event is not a babysitting service and anyone under 12 must be accompa-nied by an adult.

“The point is to be there with your family. To have some family time,” he said. “That’s what we are trying to create and it has done really well.”

The event began 21 years ago by George Kristo and his late wife Linda as an alternative for families and those who want to celebrate the holidays in a safe environment. They hosted the event for 16 years at various places in Noblesville including downtown and the high school. There was no event in 2010 before the Kristos handed the event over to Wafford.

“I’m very proud of it,” Wafford said. “It’s like their baby has grown a little and they’re saying, ‘OK, take care of it now.’ I need to give it more love and care and hopefully it will continue to grow.”

Kristo is still a part of the event and serves as the caller during Bingo.

“It’s just as important to have him with us,” Wafford said.

Wafford renamed the event First Night Nobles-ville last year; however, the event is open to anyone who wants to come.

“There’s a First Night Boston with 25,000 people and they block off the streets. I’d really like to eventually create something like that here in Noblesville,” he said.

Wafford said his goal – besides having it not cost him money to host it – is to get more com-munity members involved.

“I’d like to get more community involvement, more ideas brought to the table because if it’s just my ideas it could get stale,” he said. “I’d re-ally like to make it a community event by having more community people – churches or govern-ment offices.”

Wafford said the event is important to me because he’s seen the affect alcohol can have on people.

“This time of year, all you hear about are people going to parties and drinking. I’ve had friends affected by drunk drivers,” he said, add-ing his grandfather was an alcoholic. “I’ve seen it and that’s enough motivation for me. He died because his liver gave out from the damage of drinking.”

For more information, call Wafford at 773-7200 or visit www.FirstNightNoblesville.com.

After watching “Despicable Me 2” many families gathered around tables and played board games before watching the ball drop in 2012. (File photo)

Commentary by Jim Litten

As a result of fewer homes on the market, average home prices in Central Indiana reached

$176,863 in November 2014, a 6.5 percent jump compared to November 2013.

Available homes for sale in the nine-county region decreased 3.7 percent in November 2014 with 10,285 homes on the market, 395 fewer than in November 2013. In Hamilton County, 1,663 homes were listed for sale, a modest reduction of .5 percent compared to November 2013. Ham-ilton County is also among the areas reporting pricing gains in November 2014, with sales rising 6 percent to $267,635 from $252,515 from No-vember 2013.

• In Noblesville, the year-to-date average sale price in November 2014 climbed 2.1 percent to $213,033 from $208,670.

• Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, two were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 10 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 13 were priced $200,000

to $299,999; 37 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and six were priced at $99,999 or less.

• Homes in Noblesville are moving at a stable rate. Last month, homes stayed on the market 72 days, which is one less day com-pared to November 2013.

• Inventory across the region is tightening. In Noblesville, 325 homes were on the market last month compared to 315 homes in No-vember of last year.

We expect the shrinking inventory to continue driving up prices and contribute to this seller’s market that we’ve been experiencing in recent months. We are still positioned to finish the year on a healthy note although sales appear to be sluggish compared to last year – the fourth best year in real estate history.

TAx CHANGES YOU NEED TO KNOW FOr 2015

THE AFFOrDABlE CArE ACT’S TAx IMPACT

District trims budget by $1.7MBy Robert Herrington

[email protected]

Noblesville Schools has trimmed its overall budget by $1.7 million as part of a budget

management initiative launched by Supt. Dr. Beth Niedermeyer.

“We spent a great deal of time study-ing and looking for ways we could streamline our costs and operate more efficiently,” Niedermeyer said. “What this will do is help us manage ourselves a little bit more leanly and just be mindful of the ever increasing challenges that school districts face in terms of budgeting.”

The largest savings came from reallocating technology support staff ex-penses ($430,000), adding a kindergarten instructional assistant when student enroll-ment reaches 24 ($300,000) and restructuring secretarial support ($110,000). The following moves all saved at least $75,000: reducing property/casualty insurance broker services; discontinued contract with public relations firm; changes to health consulting services and a 10 percent reduction in supply budgets.

The process to identify the cuts spanned several months and included challenging cen-tral office leadership to it their department operations, as well as convening a budget

review committee made up of representatives from various levels, functions and schools throughout the district.

“The objective was to make cuts as far removed from the classroom and students as possible,” Niedermeyer said.

Niedermeyer said the district is eliminat-ing cell phones for administrators and has reduced some supply and library budgets,

health care costs, travel expenses, substitute costs, overtime fees and changed how the district has used benchmarking time for kindergarten teachers and collaboration days.

“Some of those really center around outside contracts that we are eliminating,” Niedermeyer said. “We are also making reductions here

at central office. We have restructured our secretarial staff and were able to reduce two positions in doing that.”

Niedermeyer said staffing changes are coming through reorganization, retirement or natural attrition.

“There is not one lost job,” she said. The district also will be exploring opportuni-

ties for revenue generation for the corporation. “We also looked at how we can shift some

expenses from general (fund) into our operat-ing fund.

Niedermeyer said the district’s 2014 budget is $99,384,317.

Commentary by Don Knebel

Visiting a single hill in Amman, Jordan, provides an opportunity to see where many of the em-

pires of the Middle East battled and left their marks. It also provides an opportunity to stand on the spot of

a key scene in the Bible’s most famous story of elicit love.

Citadel Hill, the highest of Amman’s seven hills, includes evidence of human occupation since 7,000 B.C., making it one of the world’s longest continuously inhabited sites. At the time of Israel’s King David, a hilltop citadel defended an Ammonite city called Rabbath-Ammon. Ac-cording to the Bible, Uriah the Hittite was among the Israelite troops besieging the fortress when David, remaining behind in Jerusalem, seduced Uriah’s wife, the beautiful Bathsheba. David then ordered Uriah to the front lines where, as David had hoped, an archer perched on the citadel wall killed Uriah with an arrow. David took Bathsheba as his wife and, after belatedly joining the battle, captured Rabbath-Ammon to join the previously-captured Kingdom of Moab on the eastern edge of his United Monarchy.

After the United Monarchy collapsed upon the death of Solomon, David’s son with Bathsheba,

Citadel Hill in Amman, Jordan (Photo by Don Knebel)

Citadel Hill’s history paradeRabbath-Ammon fell under control of a parade of empires, starting with Assyria, Babylon and then Persia. The Greeks captured Rabbath-Ammon from the Persians in the third century B.C., renamed it Philadelphia and lost it to the Nabateans. On behalf of Rome, Herod the Great captured Philadelphia from the Nabateans in 30 B.C. and made it one of the cities of the Decapo-lis. The Romans later built a large temple to Her-cules atop Citadel Hill. After Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire, Philadelphia became the seat of a bishop and residents destroyed the temple and used its columns in their basilica. When Muslims conquered the city, they renamed it Amman and built a still-standing palace over another church, with a mosque nearby.

Citadel Hill contains two millennia worth of temples, churches and mosques. The Jordan Archaeological Museum on the hill displays a reproduction of a stele chronicling how King Me-sha recaptured Moab after the fall of the United Monarchy. There is a lot of history on Citadel Hill.

Shen Yun means “the beauty of divine beings dancing.” The name expresses what Shen Yun aspires to achieve—an experience so profound that it evokes a sense of the heavens.

THE BEAUTY OF DIVINE BEINGS DANCING

“I think it is very pleasing for all the senses, visually all the beautiful colors and the ensembles. It is a spectacle in a way, like a Broadway show, it tells a story and it’s uplifting.”

—Joshua Bell, Renowned Violinist

HROUGH THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE of music and dance, Shen Yun weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales, taking you on a journey through 5,000

years of Chinese culture. Its stunning beauty and tremendous energy leave audiences uplifted and inspired.

BEFORE THE DAWN OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION, a divinely inspired cul-ture blossomed in the East. Believed to be bestowed from the heavens, it valued virtue and enlightenment.
