Noblesville Fourth of July Parade and Festival

Morris

Commentary by Cara Culp

Everyone I’ve talked with recently about July 4th can’t believe that it’s almost here. It’s as if we blinked on Memorial Day and now find ourselves just over one week away from Independence Day. Thanks to the hard work and creativity of the July 4th Planning Committee, we are organiz-ing another fun event in Noblesville.

Our festivities will begin on July 4th with the parade. This year, we are honor-ing George and Linda Kristo as our grand marshals. The parade will step off at 5 p.m. at 16th and Harrison streets, so be sure to stake out your favorite parade viewing location early. The fun will then continue from 6 to 10 p.m. on the grounds of Noblesville High School with our free festival, which is sponsored by Industrial Dielectrics Inc. The evening will literally

end with a bang with the fireworks dis-play, which will start at approximately 10 p.m. Thanks to the generosity of IDI and all of our sponsors, this event is possible year after year. All of the entertainment, games, activities and fireworks are paid for with donations from local businesses and individuals.

There will be free activities for all ages at the festival including many of the fa-vorite activities from previous festivals (car show, rock climbing wall, photo booth and more). There will also be new additions this year such as Animalia, an appearance by Radio Disney, Flimsee games, an extreme air jumper and more. Check out our Web site at www.Nobles-villeFireworksFestival.com for a complete list of events. There is plenty of parking at the high school, which is accessible from Monument Street, Cumberland Road and

Field Drive.Fourth of July festivities in Noblesville

are very much a group effort and would truly not be possible without the support of many people and businesses. Special thanks our sponsors, Mayor John Dits-lear, the city’s street, police, fire and parks departments and especially the planning committee. The committee is always look-ing to make this event bigger and better, so if you want to help out next year by join-ing the committee or being a sponsor, or if you’d like to volunteer to help at this year’s festival, give me a call at 776-6367. In the meantime, I hope to see you on July 4th!

Cara Culp is the chairwoman of the Noblesville July 4th Festival. She can be contacted at [email protected] or 776-6367.

Local families featured in upcoming WFYI [email protected]

Full of Noblesville and Hamilton County connections, It’s A Family Reunion: What’s Your Story? — a local television produc-tion that’s part documentary; part reality show — will premiere 6 p.m. Sunday on WFYI 1. The program depicts the past, present and future of real families across America as they gather for their annual family reunions.

The pilot episode features the Glenn, Glover and White fami-

lies who have a rich Hoosier heritage that spans centuries. They were the first African-American families who settled in Sheridan in the early 1800’s. Since 1976, the three families have main-tained close ties and continue to gather every three years for their reunion. The oldest living relative, Wayne Glover, 82, joins nearly 200 family members for a three-day celebration of sack races, board games, historical storytelling, a talent show and a very spe-cial church service, followed by a dramatic genealogical reveal.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT:Options to Resolve Your Case Prior to Trial

In family law, a majority of cases settle outside of the courtroom. There are many reasons to attempt to reach a settlement, including uncertainty as to the judge’s decision, anxiety about testifying in court, the potential to increase animosity between the parties, and the attorney’s fees associated with attending a hearing. It is common for a party to never step foot inside of a courtroom because the parties reach an agreement on all terms without the requiring the court’s intervention. There are two primary methods to reach an out-of-court agreement: informal negotiations and mediation. Informal negotiations involve communication between the parties and/or their counsel concerning the terms of a �nal agreement. This process involves communication as to the terms of a �nal agreement without the assistance of a third party (a mediator or judge). In some instances, the parties may be able to reach an agreement on the general terms of an agreement and engage counsel to assist with the �nalization of those terms to ensure approval by the court. In other cases, counsel for the parties will exchange proposals and draft agreements in an attempt to reach a resolution.

In the event parties are unable to reach an agreement through informal negotiations, mediation is a common next step. Mediation may be agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the court. At mediation, the parties are typically placed in separate rooms with their counsel and the mediator serves as the neutral third party who exchanges proposals between the parties in intensive and focused settlement negotia-

tions. The mediator’s role is to assist the parties in their attempt to reach common ground by addressing certain considerations as to an anticipated reasonable outcome in court as well as other realistic and pragmatic concerns with any proposed settlement. There are instances where parties do not reach an agreement during mediation. In that case, a �nal hearing is the next step as the mediator does not have the authority to order the parties to comply with certain terms or reach a �nal agreement.

A recent trend in family law is for the parties to engage in a collaborative divorce process. In such instances, parties are focused on reaching a collaborative agreement and hire respective counsel trained to do so. The process is similar in many respects to informal negotiations and mediation, with the ultimate goal of reaching an agreeable settlement. One different aspect of the collaborative law process is that in the event parties are unable to reach a settlement, they must hire new counsel and begin the process anew.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our �rm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

COMMUNITY Celebration/Leadership

by robert herrington [email protected]

An open house to send off David Boudia, 23, to the London Olympics will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday at Forest Park Lodge in Noblesville.

Residents are invited to come wish Boudia good luck in the upcoming summer games. He will be there to share his journey, sign autographs and answer any questions you might have for an Olympian.

The celebration for Boudia was organized by Jeanne Reimer, sister of Boudia’s father, Jim. A resident of Warsaw, Reimer contacted the city, parks department, local officials and busi-nesses to help create the open house.

“I wanted to have an open house for the city of Noblesville to come and meet David and wish him luck in London,” she said. “My broth-er is preoccupied with everything else going on to prepare the family for travel to London, so I am coordinating this open house. I would like

to see a city-wide send off for this talented ath-lete from Noblesville.”

Jim said Boudia’s stay in Noblesville would be a short one, as the United States Olympic Div-ing Team will begin training together the first

week of July.“This is something David looks

forwards to,” he said of the open house.

Boudia previously competed in the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He participated in the 10-meter plat-form and synchronized 10-meter platform with Thomas Finchum of Indianapolis. Prior to his depar-ture, Jim said the family hosted a get together at the family’s house.

“It was a big block party,” he said. “It was a huge success. David loved it.”

In 2011, Boudia won the Big Ten Jesse Ow-ens Athlete of the Year award, which is given an-nually to the man voted as the top male athlete in the Big Ten Conference. He is the first diver to win the award and the second Boilermaker to be honored – the other being Glenn Robinson in 1994.

The Noblesville School Board gave Supt. Libbie Connor permission to begin negotiation talks as the district eyes real estate at 18025 Riv-er Rd. The space is currently vacant, and if it’s purchased by Noblesville Schools will become its new central office.

Connor said the potential space is more than 30,000 square feet – easily double that of the current central office building and adjacent portables. If purchased, Conner said the new location would be home to the central office and Hamilton-Boone-Madison Co-op staffs, provide additional storage for the district and house technology.

By state law, school corporations must have

two individual appraisers inspect land prior to real estate purchases. Each proves their appraisal and the corporation is not allowed to offer more than the average of the two. Connor said the appraisals have taken place, but the results have not been disclosed to the seller and she was not ready to announce the average amount yet.

“We think it’s a good deal,” she said.If both sides agree upon a price, the school

board must approve the purchase before it be-comes finalized.

If the central office moves, it would provide the district several options for its current space. The building is located right between Noblesville High School’s main and freshman campuses. The corporation’s transportation center, which is in need of expansion and fuel tank replacement, is located behind the office and portables.

COMMUNITY Cover story

July 4th Parade Grand Marshals George and Linda Kristo’s love continues after 42 years of marriageEditor’s note: Linda Kristo was not available for photos or to be inter-viewed for this story because of medical conditions.

by robert herrington • [email protected]

George and Linda Kristo have been married for 42 years, but their story began in Detroit in 1958.

George had moved from a coal-mining town in Kentucky to Michigan’s largest city after graduating high school in 1956. He moved north to Detroit and joined his older brother, who helped him find a job. After graduating from Michigan State University, Linda came to Detroit to find a job in 1958. The two lived in a boarding house with 22 other people.

“We all got friendly – ate breakfast and dinner together or had a cup of coffee,” George recalled.

Linda moved away when she was offered a job as a teacher. George said he thought that was the last time he’d see Linda, until fate stepped in two years later.

“I was walking down a major avenue in Detroit and saw a car parked in the middle of the street. I thought this was some dumb person who ran out of gas,” he said. “It was Linda waiting for AAA. She ran out of gas.”

The two talked and waited for help, and George asked Linda out for a cup of coffee.

“We went together for a few years before being married,” George said with a smile.

The newlyweds were relocated to Denver as George worked for Blue Cross. They would later move to San Francisco then Toledo, Ohio, for work.

During their marriage, the Kristos went 16 years without a car. George said they wanted to improve their health by walking more and Linda wanted to be more environmentally friendly. The couple walked, rode bicycles or used mass transit to get around.

“It started out for six months and ended up being 16 years,” George said.

While in Toledo, George worked for Blue Cross and taught at the University of Toledo. He said the couple lived three and a half miles from the campus.

“If you left school angry, by the time you got home you weren’t frustrated anymore,” George said of walking home.

After earning a library science degree from Michigan University, Linda wrote a book in 1978 – “What you should know about IRA accounts.” At the age of 42, Linda began working on a doctorate in psychology.

George lost his job as Blue Cross downsized, so the two moved to Indianapolis in February 1988, where George helped run an HMO. After living in the city for two years, they looked to relocate so Linda could open her own practice.

“We drove all over central Indiana and found we liked Nobles-ville,” George said.

While visiting the Hamilton East Public Library Noblesville branch, fate stepped in again. George went and browsed the book sale as Linda used the restroom.

“The very first book in the very first box was her book,” said

George. “Linda said, ‘that’s sign No. 1.’”Then, as the two were leaving, they were unsure what street they

were on when they came to a stoplight.“It was (Ind.) 32 and Cumberland Road. I grew up in Cum-

berland, Ky. This is when Linda said we’re moving to Noblesville,” George said.

After moving to the city, Linda began a psychology practice in the Adler Building, and George helped set up doctor practices dur-ing the day and assisted Linda at night. He has been heading the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs for the past 18 years.

“We both grew up in small towns and told ourselves we were going to live in big cities. We lived in downtown Detroit, Denver, San Francisco and Toledo. Once we came here, we wanted to settle down in a small town – go back to our roots,” George said.

The Kristos became known in Noblesville for several reasons – the two love to volunteer, Linda had a local newspaper column, they served ice cream and homemade brownies at the Hamilton County Judicial Center during election nights for several years – but if you were looking for the couple, there was always one spot to start: Burger King.For 10 years, the Kristos ended their days with coffee from Burger King.

“We’d go in and get coffee then sit in the parking lot with the car pointed at (Ind.) 37,” said George. “Ninety percent of her columns were written on napkins in the Burger King parking lot.”

George said that sometimes the two would sit there for three or four hours. With the radio turned off, the two would just sit and talk.

“We could take the winters, they were much better than the summers,” he said, adding that Linda was not a big fan of air con-ditioning and the bees were annoying during the hotter months. “We never missed more than 10 nights (in that 10-year span).”

Linda saw her last patient in January 2010. A temporary break became permanent because of her memory problems.

“She was going to take a year off and things got progressively worse,” George explained.

For the past three years, the Kristos have been using various methods to improve memory and brain function. George pur-chased two dictionaries that they would read to each other. As Linda’s ability to read declined, George read her the newspaper and the two would discuss columns and events.

“Linda was a verbal type of person anyways,” he explained. “We don’t own a TV; she likes to talk.”

George said the two now mainly talk about politics and values.“I try to not discuss anything we know about,” he said. “That

would not get her brain to work harder. I want her to think in a different way.”

During that beginning period of Linda’s dementia, the two spent “hours upon hours upon hours talking to one another.”

“We talked about what we did right and what we would do dif-ferently if we did it over,” said George. “What that did was draw us even closer than we ever had been.”

“We’re not going to concentrate on what I don’t have but who I still am,” Linda told George.

On Valentine’s Day, Mayor John Ditslear announced that the Kristos would serve as the grand marshals for the 2012 Noblesville July 4th Parade and Fireworks Festival. However, a side effect to the medications Linda takes is that she eats less and is now down to 78 pounds.

“That was our goal – to have her ready for the parade, but she’s declining,” said George. “It’s a hard disease. You see them failing and she knows she is.”

When George realized that Linda was going to be unable to participate, he began to rethink serving as grand marshal without his wife.

“My first reaction was not to do it when I saw she couldn’t do it. I can’t do it without her,” he said. “I told (city officials) you can find somebody else and they said ‘no, we’re honoring both of you.’”

Linda now stays in a senior living center, which George visits every day.

VIEWS Opinion

It is our position that while fireworks are fun to both set off and watch, they are also explosives and can cause serious injury if not handled with the proper respect.

As the Fourth of July approaches, we will begin to see temporary signs titled “Fireworks” occupy empty shops all over the county. We urge the patronage of these shops and the use of their products. We do, however, insist on safety being taken seriously.

We understand that when it comes to fireworks, accidents happen, even when safety measures are being taken. This gives us even more reason to conduct the seem-ingly simple task of lighting a firework with caution and focus. Whether it is a defec-tive fuse, misfired bottle rocket or a mortar stuck in the tube, anything can happen (especially when an adult beverage is added into the mix), as any emergency room worker can attest.

We hope that everyone has a fun and safe Independence Day. If lighting fireworks, please be sure to drink responsibly (and only if of legal age) and do not be the one in your neighborhood who has the fire depart-ment join your celebration.

With all due respect to our fine governor, Mitch Daniels, and his outstanding track record, we’re saddened to see him become the president of Purdue University. Why? It’s not because he can’t or wouldn’t make quantum fiscal leaps up in West Lafayette – that puckering sound you just heard was the faculty contemplating budget revi-sions – but, come on, he is exactly the man for the job in Washington, the one where he puts a stop to government taking on nonsensical debt. His blunt approach can hurt – ask anyone con-nected to higher education in this state – but the pain is “inflicted” for the right reasons. We hope, one day, after his stint in academia, he will pursue a post in Washington. It doesn’t seem likely, but we can hope, right?

• • •And so they had a turn-away weekend earlier

this month at our region’s Center for the Per-forming Arts. From the gala – orchestrated by Jim Austin and the centerpiece of which was the induction of Barry Manilow, Alan and Marilyn Bergman and Cole Porter into the Great Ameri-can Songbook Hall of Fame as the inaugural class – to the stunning performances that night, we were perhaps more impressed with the quality of the 10 finalists at The Great American Songbook High School Competition. Each gave his or her best shot, and, ultimately, 15-year-old Nick Zio-bro of Manilus, N.Y., blew away the field (and the judges) to take home first place. Kudos to the Michael Feinstein Initiative (the man, himself, along with staffers Chris Lewis and Karen Kelsey) for putting together an incredibly memorable evening.

Mitch would be besthandling U.S. budget

Commentary by terry Anker

The Greeks have decided to stay in the Euro-zone and have agreed to continuing negotiations with their creditors to remain fiscally afloat. In elections last week, voters on the historic and blue-watered nation elected, albeit by a narrow margin, political figures who have asserted, albeit in the most tentative of ways, that they are com-mitted to keeping Greece on the path to greater financial responsibility and reducing spending. Good news. The world’s economy has become so intertwined that the failure of one errant na-tion affects all the rest. Whether these newest office-holders are more successful at keeping spending in line with revenue remains to be seen. But for now, Europe, along with the U.S. markets, is resting a little easier.

Would it be particularly pessimistic to believe that the Greeks politicians, like those domiciled here on our own shores, are unlike-ly to persevere? A recent City-County Council move by our neighbors to the south makes the point. Arguing that an array of city-funded

benefits should be expanded to a new group of employees, no discussion addressed the reality that sharing a pie with more folks means that one needs a bigger pie or will have to serve smaller pieces to each. While we can, and perhaps should, discuss who should have pie – and we can, and perhaps should, determine how much pie each should get – it is patently irresponsible to offer pie to more without in some form acknowledging that there are consequences.

The Greeks, like our own humble state, must conform to the basic laws of arithmetic. If we all work less, there is less excess to share. If we all consume more, there is less excess to share. Innovation, creativity and risk can build a bigger pie – but don’t we still have to conform to the rules of supply?

In short supply

VIEWS Humor

laughs by Danielle wilson

I’m a bossy person by nature; always have been. Some people are just born to lead or at least to tell others what to do. So, in this vein, and inspired by the wedding Doo and I recently attended, here are my dos and don’ts for the Big Day.

Do put someone in charge. You don’t have to hire a wedding coordinator, but at least round up a control-freak aunt who isn’t afraid to order people around or have groomsmen hate her. The timing and details make or break a wedding; a BOS (%itch on Site) can ensure everything flows smoothly.

Don’t chew gum at the altar, period. Spit. It. Out.

Don’t make your attendants stand throughout the ceremony if it’s over 15 min-utes. And for God’s sake, make sure they snack beforehand and know not to lock their knees. “Bridesmaid down! Bridesmaid down!”

Do consider parking. The reception venue was in a downtown location, with no attached garage. We either had to drive around and wait for a street spot to open or park in a scary pay lot two blocks away under the expressway. Had I known this was an urban safari, I’d have swapped stilettos for hiking boots.

Don’t make your guests wait to eat, espe-cially if you have an evening wedding. This past weekend, the only sustenance served between

the end of the ceremony at 7:00 and the open-ing of the buffet at 9:15 were alcohol and lem-onade. When the bride and groom finally went through the line, the rush to eat conjured im-ages of the Titanic life-boat stampede: “Women and children first!” They should have been passing hors d’oeuvres or set up a cheese table. Better yet, they should have let us eat dinner as soon as we arrived; then no one gets wasted on cheap vodka or devours an entire eight-top’s praline favors.

Do keep in mind your cleavage. If your dream dress is strapless, please make sure it comes up high enough to cover the girls. The fact that the bride did not experience a wardrobe mal-function is truly remarkable. For the comfort level of your guests, particularly those with heart conditions, consider adding straps for at least the dancing portion of the evening. They’ll make for a much less stressful evening for all!

Do make it personal. The bride and groom, both physicians, choose Robert Palmer’s “Doc-tor, Doctor” for their first dance. Far more unique than “I Will Always Love You”!

I’m sure your wedding will be beautiful, but it’ll be better if you listen to me. Peace out.

Westfield resident Shaune Shelby’s love of cy-cling began when he received his first 10-speed Schwinn bike as a child. Now, with two wheels and miles of asphalt, Shelby pays tribute to his father, Lawrence H. “Lar-ry” Shelby, by creating and organizing the annual Bike It ride – the only event of this type that solely benefits the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

Lawrence had elevated PSA levels for years. He was diag-nosed with prostate cancer in 2008 and died two weeks be-fore Christmas of that year.

“After eight biopsies the cancer was detected,” Shelby explained. “He opted for total prostate removal.”

Shelby set out to remember his father by making a difference.

“I hate to run and everybody does a walk of some sort, so I came up with a bicycle ride for prostate cancer,” he said.

In its first year, Bike It had 100 participants in the 5-mile family ride and 20-mile ride. Last year’s Bike It doubled to 200 participants, and Shelby said this year’s attendance will be more

than 300 riders.“The desire is there, people need to know

how to join the ride,” he said, adding that riders come from as far away as Terre Haute, Richmond, Fort Wayne and Bloomington. “It’s

not all about the money. It’s about the people and raising awareness.”

The third annual event will also expand to provide bicycling enthusiasts with a tougher challenge. In addi-tion to the family ride and 20-mile trip, this year’s Bike It includes a 50-mile trip. Shelby said all three will leave Redman Park in Downtown Westfield the morning of July 4. The groups will then sepa-rate at Union Street in differ-ent directions, but all will end the race back in downtown – right in time to enjoy West-

field Rocks the Fourth activities.Shelby said the other problem he’s encoun-

tered is people who want to ride but don’t have a bike. To help prevent that from happening this year, the event is offering regular and tandem bicycle rentals. Shelby asks those interested in renting to inform organizers prior to the ride. To sign up, visit www.bikeitpc.org, call 605-4467 or e-mail [email protected].

The warm middle months of the year mean different things to different people: outdoor sports, concerts, farmers markets and festivals all across Indiana. For most of us out there, it also means grilling, especially with America’s unofficial cookout holiday of the year, July 4, quickly approaching.

We have assembled two unique recipes that will help integrate the fruitiness of summer into your grilling repertoire and keep you from boring your friends and family with dreary hamburgers and lackluster hot dogs.

GrillED nECtArinES with MASCArPOnE CrEAM

ingredients: 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese, 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon, 4 nectarines, 1 tablespoon canola oil, 8 teaspoons balsamic glaze or honey, 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted

Directions: Preheat grill to medium-high. Com-bine mascarpone, yogurt, sugar and 1 teaspoon tarragon in a medium bowl. Refrigerate. Cut nectarines in half and scoop out the pits. Brush cut sides with oil. Oil grill rack. Grill nectarines cut-side down until softened and beginning to brown. Divide nectarines among eight plates. Fill each half with 1 tablespoon of mascarpone mixture and drizzle with 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze or honey. Top with almonds and chopped tarragon.

tips: When grilling fragile foods that you don’t want to stick, oiling the grill rack is es-sential. Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. Remember to never use cooking spray on a hot grill!

bluEbErrY-GlAzED bArbECuE ribSingredients: 4 cups water, 4 pounds country-

style pork ribs, 2 pints fresh blueberries, 1 me-dium onion, thinly sliced, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 table-spoon finely chopped ginger root, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 tea-

spoon coarsely ground pepper, 1/4 teaspoon saltDirections: Bring water to full boil in

6-quart saucepan. Add ribs. Cook over medi-um-high heat until ribs are fork tender (about 20 to 25 minutes). Meanwhile, heat gas grill on medium. Place all remaining ingredients in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until flavors are blended (about 12 to 15 min-utes). Place ribs on grill. Baste with blueberry sauce. Grill, basting and turning occasionally, until ribs are fork tender (about 20 to 25 min-utes). Cook remaining blueberry sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Serve sauce over ribs.

With the heat in full swing, it is time to get out the grill and start cooking

For more great recipes for both the grill and the kitchen, be sure to visit currentnightandday.com/category/recipes and keep reading night & Day throughout the summer for one new recipe each and every week!

NIGHT & DAY Theaterby Patricia rettig • [email protected]

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s current pro-duction of “The Wizard of Oz” offers four local young thespians a rare opportunity to make Munchkinland a reality.

They were chosen from more than 100 cen-tral Indiana children who auditioned for the limited number of roles.

“I have loved the movie and the music since I was little,” remarked Madison Moll, who will at-tend Hamilton Southeastern Junior High this fall. This is the 11th production for 11-year-old Madi-son. “I like being able to play a character and be someone different than who I am,” she said.

For 10-year-old Sydney Grace Johnson of Fishers, performing doesn’t require a stage. “I love choreographing performances for the neighborhood with my friends,” the Sand Creek Intermediate student said. And Sydney has no plans to stop. “(I want to) obtain a theater/dance degree at IU – and be famous!”

Sharing her fellow Munchkins’ love of per-forming is Kendall Greene, 10, a student at Col-lege Wood Elementary. “I love being in front of people and being on stage,” she said. When not on stage, she’s a dance student at Performer’s Edge in Carmel, and a competitive gymnast at Deveau’s in Fishers.

Sydney Greene, a student at Carmel Middle School who also takes dance at Performer’s Edge, would like to become a professional

singer or actor. Excited to perform in her first theatrical production, Sydney said she loved the movie, “The Wizard of Oz” and its lesson: There’s no place like home.

Vol. 2, No. 1

by Jordan Fischer • [email protected]

Noblesville resident Patricia Rew was honored this month as Indiana’s most outstanding senior volunteer by Home Instead Senior Care.

The 70-year-old volunteer was selected to re-ceive the Salute to Senior Service award for her “dedicated community service,” including her work at Agapé Therapeutic Riding Resources, Inc., located in Cicero.

“Patricia is a valued member of the community and a senior hero to many,” said Jeff Huber, presi-dent and chief operating officer of Home Instead, Inc. “She has shown that volunteer opportunities for older adults should not diminish because of age. Seniors such as Patricia are making important con-tributions to their communities through charities, nonprofit organizations and faith communities.”

Agapé provides horses, equipment, facilities and helpers for more than 800 riders with phys-ical, mental or emotional challenges and also at-risk youth. Rew’s duties include assisting each rider and helping to guide the horse around the indoor arena and on wooded trails. She also provides expertise in event coordination, fund-raising and artistic abilities.

Volunteerism has been a constant for Rew since her teen years. Her service extends into the Agapé Literacy Program; The Cowgirls of Agapé; Helping Hands of Agapé; Breakfast for the Barn; Par for the Horse Golf Outing; volun-teer fairs at local high schools and churches; and Agapé’s Miniature Horse Program.

“There are no words to describe the dedica-tion Pat has for Agapé,” wrote Katrina Brown, a therapeutic riding and horsemanship instructor at Agapé, on Rew’s nominee profile (which can be found online at www.salutetoseniorservice.com). “Pat is a ‘go to’ woman in our organiza-tion. She is always willing to stay late to get the job done and does so with such joy in her heart! She is wonderful with the students, families, and volunteers/staff. She is constantly honing her skills and broadening her education to give more at Agapé. I am so proud to work with Pat and watch her touch so many lives!”

According to Chris Sorenson, program coor-dinator for Agapé, it’s “a pleasure to work with Pat Rew! She comes here with a radiant smile and a heart of gold. She has a gift of working

Noblesville woman honored as Indiana’s top senior volunteer

Salute to senior service with our special needs riders, able to make each one feel loved and appreciated for their individ-uality. She helps them enjoy a great experience while they are here, they have fun and at the same time learn and improve their capabilities. It is not always easy volunteering with horses and a special needs population – there are the physical challenges, hot weather, mosquitoes, cold weather, the occasional horse hoof stepping on a foot, a rider grabbing or pinching a volun-teer. It never phases Pat, she keeps coming back and she keeps smiling through it all, and then asks, ‘Is there anything else I can do?’”

As a state winner, Rew was considered for the national Salute to Senior Service award. The na-tional award was presented to Clark Paradise of Lakewood, NJ, who was honored for his work with Your Grandmother’s Cupboard, a nonprofit organization he and his wife founded to meet the needs of the thousands of homeless families throughout New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania.

City hires economic development specialistsByRobertHerrington•[email protected]

The City of Noblesville has increased its Eco-nomic Development Dept. by hiring specialists Courtney Zaugg and Alaina Shonkwiler. Zaugg will work on business development throughout the entire city and Shonkwiler will be focusing primarily on the downtown area.

“I really look forward to working with Court-ney Zaugg and Alaina Shonkwiler. They both bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team,” Economic Development Director Judi Johnson said.

Zaugg has extensive regional, national and international economic development experience. She comes to the city from Conexus Indiana where she was director, industry research – au-tomotive and aerospace/defense initiatives. She has also worked for Develop Indy as well as the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.

“Courtney’s work within the region, state and global economic development arena, plus her most recent concentration on logistics and workforce development, will assist in the attrac-tion and retention of future and current Nobles-ville businesses and will help our department focus more closely on sustaining, growing and analyzing our workforce,” Johnson said.

A Noblesville native, Shonkwiler comes to the city from the Noblesville Chamber of Com-merce where she promoted member businesses and marketing initiatives. Her previous experi-

ence includes working for Ryan Homes in Indi-anapolis and the Office of Program and Budget Performance in Washington D.C.

“Alaina, being born and raised in Noblesville, will work on downtown promotion, tourism, cultural arts and other marketing and business initiatives,” said Johnson. “Her past experience in budget performance and the home construc-tion industry add another layer of knowledge to the team.”

Zaugg and Shonkwiler began working for the city on June 11.

Commentary by kristen boice

It’s a basic human need to want to feel signifi-cant, safe, important, understood and valued. We want to be and feel heard. It’s important to use this with your partner, children, friends, family and any other relationships in your life.

First, let’s understand what validation means. It’s accepting someone’s feeling. It is to really understand where they are coming from. When we validate someone, we acknowledge and ac-cept their uniqueness and individuality. A big misconception is to think that if we validate someone, then they are going to think we com-pletely agree with them. It simply means you get them. You understand what they are feeling and saying.

Often, we don’t learn this growing up, yet we have a need to experience feeling heard and vali-dated. The good news is, it’s a skill we can learn. If there is conflict, it can be because walls of invalidation have been built. Ultimately, valida-tion allows someone to feel safe and encouraged to express their feelings. It will build stronger and deeper connections.

Below are some steps to begin using valida-tion immediately.

work on your own judgments and feeling. Work through your own hurt and pain. Perhaps this is in the way of really connecting with oth-ers. Be in an accepting and open space.

listen with your eyes, ears and body. Face the person and make eye contact. Notice your body language and if you are open to really hearing them. Be present with them. No tex-ting, using your computer or doing something else while you are with them. Allow the person to safely share their thoughts and feelings with-out judgment or blame.

Mirror back what you heard. For example, “What I heard you say is ….” You are repeating or paraphrasing what you heard. You will notice someone nodding or saying, “Yes. Exactly.” They are feeling heard. This shows them we care and are in tune with them.

use short phrases to show you under-stand. For instance, you might say any of these statements, “I can understand how you feel. It sounds like you are really feeling ____. It sounds like ____is really important to you. It makes sense how you feel.”

Don’t give advice. Most of us truly want to help others. We don’t know how to help. We start giving advice, as our parents did to us. If you just validate someone, they are able to work out their own emo-tional issues faster than if you give them advice.

INSIDE & OUT Outdoors

Commentary by holly lindzy

Gardening can be a challenge regardless of your living situation. Farmers battle droughts, suburbanites combat rocky soils and apartment dwellers are space challenged.

It can be frustrating, indeed but I have two words for you . . . grow up!

Literally – I’m talking about growing vines!Living in an old house in town, I’m space

challenged. Definitely the highlight of the house is the spacious front porch – a dream to sit on in the rain but no place to dig up a garden bed. Obviously.

Luckily, I’ve always been fond of container gardening. The soil is just right, they’re easy to water and you can move them around to high-light something in particular.

And I have railing and posts that scream for scrambling vines, so I stick a few seeds in the containers on my porch to cover them. It’s al-ways a show stopper.

They’re easy enough to grow but hard to find in the nurseries, so it just makes seed shopping all the more fun. My absolute favorite? The un-

commonly planted hyacinth bean vine, which is stunning from flower to fruit – big leafy stems of purple flowers followed by shiny purple seed pods in the fall – it’s so great I almost hate to share my secret about it.

I’ve also planted morning glories with moonflower to have flowers all hours of the day. They’re a cinch to grow and fun to watch bloom, as the huge white moonflower opens at the same time every evening.

No place for a vine to climb? I doubt that! A simple trellis will suffice or bamboo stakes found in any garden center and some twine does the trick for a natural look. You can even grow your vines up tall sunflowers! No excuses!

Have some fun with your challenging spaces and grow up this season. It’s not too late – there’s a long summer ahead of us. And maybe giggle like a kid doing it. Happy climbing!

New master bath with custom closetCommentary by larry Greene

Original bathroom: This home is located in the Woodacre subdivision on the west side of Indianapolis. The homeowners built the house in 1990 and now that they are empty nesters, they are slowly remodeling the whole house to get it ready for eventual sale. They had already remodeled the kitchen so the master bath was next.

new skeek tub: The own-ers commented, "The bath-room had a huge garden tub, and I like the sleek look of the new one. After having a garden tub for years, I wanted something different. The glass block behind the tub was a last minute change. I was hav-ing trouble finding a window treatment that I liked, and my designer suggested the glass block. We did not choose the most popular style. We did not have to be too concerned with the amount of light the glass block let in because we also have a skylight. We were able to choose the glass style even though it did not let in as much light as other styles. We also found that replacing the windows and getting new window treatments was actually going to cost more than the glass block."

husband & wife decision making: The own-ers worked together with the design team on the selection of the materials. "My husband was in charge of the shower and I focused on the vanity areas. I wanted the vanity tops to be granite, but

I did not want them to look like a kitchen, so that led me to my color choice. The plumbing fixtures were chosen to be sleek and modern."

new closet space: The homeowners noted, "My favorite part of the remodel is the closet. The old one had a loft that felt very dark and closed. Now the closet is bright and new, and I can see everything. We have many more shelves and the space has been opened up. It helped me organize my things."
