ON THE WEBThanksgiving is the best holiday in columnist Mike Red-mond’s opinion and not just because it’s the best dinner of the year. It’s the one day of the year when we come as close as we’re going to get to a Shared American Experience, with the overwhelming majority of us doing exactly the same thing - sitting down to share a meal in gratitude. Also, there’s football. To read more, visit currentinfishers.com.

The Christian Youth Theater of Indianapolis staged its latest musical, “Thoroughly Modern Millie Junior,” Nov. 14 through 16 at Westfield High School. The cast was comprised of Hamilton County, Zionsville and some In-dianapolis children and directed by Noblesville resident Ryan Shelton.

When he was a younger man, Pierce Brosnan played James Bond and was quite good at it, too. Chris Lloyd writes that now Brosnan is around 60 and too old to play a run-of-the-mill spy, but of just the right vintage to segue into the burgeoning Geezer Spy genre – now dominated by Liam Neeson but also popu-lated by the likes of Kevin Costner and Denzel Washing-ton.

Typical morning traffic backup on Ind. 37. (Photo courtesy of United Consulting)

By Beth Taylor • [email protected]

On Nov. 18, a public meeting was held at the Dela-ware Township Community Building in Fishers to give

residents and business owners an opportunity to provide input on a

proposed improvement to Ind. 37 that could change it into a limited-access highway featur-ing roundabout interchanges instead of traffic-signal intersections from Fishers to Noblesville.Hamilton County Commissioners and members of the Fishers Town Council want to create a collaborative approach to dealing with traffic that will continue to worsen as the population of Hamilton Coun-ty moves toward projected doubling in size by 2050.

“We have been working on finding solutions for the Ind. 37 corridor,” said Christine Altman, Hamilton County Commissioners president. “If something’s not done quickly, we will have an impossible situation in the near future. We need to figure out as elected of-ficials and members of the community how to get this fixed.”Altman provided scenarios that detailed ways in which the problematic corridor could be handled.

“There are three choices,” she said. “We can do noth-

ing and the problem continues to get worse, we can take over the area locally or we can allow INDOT to maintain it and we get what they decide.”Fishers Mayor-elect Scott Fadness understands business owners’ con-

cerns. “We have the opportunity to be proactive and engaged. We want to talk to residents to get the best possible outcome,” said Fadness. “It’s a collaborative process to find a vision that’s befitting to Noblesville, Fishers and the entire Hamilton County community.”

A two-year study of the corridor was performed for Hamilton County, Fishers, Noblesville, INDOT and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization

(MPO) by United Consulting and American Structurepoint. Members from the firms presented the conceptual plan proposal. As a part of the study, multiple alternatives were studied for the corridor. The result showed a roundabout interchange at each of the existing intersections as the best option.

Altman said the next step is to perform an economic impact study. After the study is completed, talks with INDOT about relinquishing the corridor will go forward. The estimated time frame for preliminary work and engi-neering is three years.

Black Friday deals have taken a bite out of Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday promises

incomparable online deals. To encourage a day of cel-ebrating generosity, Giving

Tuesday, the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving has taken hold.

On Dec. 2, the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation is harnessing the goodwill of Giving Tuesday to encourage residents to support their local public school community through the power of social media and “unselfie” photos.

“Giving Tuesday is a wonderful and welcome counterpoint to the commercialism that is domi-nant during the holiday season,” said HSSF Exec-utive Director Freedom Kolb. “The most meaning-ful work we can do is to show our children that, collectively, we can make a difference and build a better community.”

To take part in the Giving Tuesday “unselfie” movement, participants can follow three steps. On the hsefoundation.org page, clicking a link will take users to a page where they can make a contribution to the Giving Tuesday line item to benefit the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation.

The next step is to take a photo of the donor holding an “unselfie” sign (available on the web-site), which explains the reason for the donation. Then, post the photo on Instagram, Twitter or

Facebook on Dec. 2 with the tag #HSSFunself-ie. Optionally, participants can e-mail the #HSS-Funselfie photos to [email protected].

The lighthearted third step is for participants to feel good about themselves this holiday sea-son. Participants are urged to encourage friends and family to join the “unselfie” movement.

Kolb thinks that supporting local public schools is a chance for the community to grow in the same direction. “The brilliant part about this movement is truly about philanthropy,” she said.

Students, she added, learn about offering gratitude. “We’ve heard from PTOs, scouts, dads’ clubs and parents are thrilled to take part, so we do anticipate good participation,” Kolb said.

There is another unique boutique opening in downtown Fishers this month! As local fashioni-

stas know, Blue Peppermint Boutique has been around for a couple of years as a part of

Flirt Salon and with a web presence (www.blue-peppermintboutique.com). Owner Jessica Landez has branched out to her own “bricks and mortar” location at 8936 South Street, just behind the Wendy’s on 116th Street. There was a variety of women shopping in there, with a couple of mother-daughter shoppers, some friends catch-ing up and another looking for a hostess gift. The cool, silvery blue interior is at once sparkly and warm, matched only by the enthusiastic owner’s greeting.

Small motivational posters with whimsical sayings are sprinkled throughout the store. One such poster said, “You are My Bucket List.” Cute travel bags to hold dirty clothes, shoes or hair accessories will make darling stocking stuffers. As you walk in, you can’t help but notice the

Blue Peppermint Boutique openscandle display which greets you with a sophisti-cated, but not overwhelming fragrance. They will be a very welcome hostess gift.

Another great idea for a hostess gift is a bath bomb or sugar scrub for the weary hostess to enjoy after her guests leave! Jessica is proud to offer the local Pink Peony Bath Products. Pink Peony is made here in Fishers. The yummy cot-ton candy and lavender scents smelled almost good enough to eat!

The light and bright boutique offers two nicely lit dressing rooms with mirrors and room to move. The displays are nicely curated with an eclectic mix of colors and fashion forward styles in a very appealing price point. Most items are in the $30-40 price range which Jessica said, “It allows the shopper to buy a few items without the guilt. I’ve had items at both ends of the price point spectrum and this seems to be the most popular.” With jewelry, shoes and boots, and purses, you can walk out with a completed look that you won’t see a hundred times at the mall. As Jessica said, “It’s a personal mix of class and sass.”

Choosing a wine to pair with a traditional Thanksgiving meal shouldn’t be daunting. Give

your guests options this holiday season.

“There’s no one size fits all,” said Jon Sadler, owner of Tasteful Times, a locally owned wine and gourmet food store at 11677 Olio Rd., Fishers.

Sadler advises customers to drink what they like, which may mean serving both white and red wines to guests. “As far as pairings, a riesling and a pinot noir go well together,” he said, add-ing that both types complement so many differ-ent layers that comprise foods that are served at a holiday meal.

“My rule of thumb is that, because Thanks-giving is an American holiday, I tend to choose domestic wines,” he said. He suggests a sauvi-gnon blanc, which offers an herbaceous taste to highlight an herb stuffing.

“If you’re not 100 percent sold on white or 100 percent sold on red, I recommend trying a dry rosé.” Rosé provides a transition for people who may be just getting into red wines. It’s not as tannic as a red wine and is very food versatile,” said Sadler.

Sparkling wines can go with a large dinner or be served with a holiday brunch. “If you wanted a one-size-fits-all, it’s going to be sparkling wine,” he said. Sparkling wines are good quality

options at a budget-friendly price point.For a sweeter brunch option, Sadler suggests

creating a festive mimosa by combining a peach bellini mix with a sparkling wine.

To accompany the dessert course, Sadler suggests trying an iced riesling with a slice of pumpkin pie or a port wine to go with a choco-late confection.

If you know what you’re serving, Sadler is happy to provide suggestions. “If you have a big gathering, you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg; you can get great pairing $15 wines,” he said. “We’ll help customers find a wine they like that will pair with their meal.”


Work continues on the bucket list

PlAIN TAlk

Commentary by Heather Kestian

In the last year, the world has lost a number of amazing people. I realize this happens every

year, but as I age, I realize more and more of those awe-some people are people I ac-

tually know. This prompts two realizations. First, I am getting older. Second, it is time to update my bucket list.

I wrote my first bucket list in graduate school. There is nothing quite like spending a couple of years on all things esoteric. I had the opportunity to ask (maybe not fully answer): what is the meaning of life? How should I spend my days, weeks, months, years? Frozen or on the rocks? I digress.

As I sit and attempt to update my Bucket List, I wonder: why am I completing this exercise? I know I am mortal and I try to live each day to the fullest. I admit that I drown in the mundane most days. Wake up, brush teeth, gets kids where they need to go, get myself where I need to go, help others, eat, sleep, help some more, go to sleep. Rinse and repeat.

But there are the glorious parts of each day: the hugs and kisses from my darlings, the un-

Heather Kestian is a Fishers resi-dent and mother. She holds a bache-lor’s degree in journalism, as well as a master’s degree in education. Her family moved to Fishers in 2010.

solicited “I love you, mama”, and a thank you or two from my co-workers. I particularly enjoy my morning sunrise drives and I say a quick thank you to God for allowing me to see the beginning of what could be the best day of my life. I have had a few of those “today is the best day!” When I am really lucky, another day outdoes the day before, and for those special days, I am grateful.

And if it all ends tomorrow, I have to believe that I met my goal: to leave the world better than I found it (except for my bathroom sink, my apologies to my better half).

However, I am someone who writes things down and I am a creator of lists. Most of my lists are an attempt to remember what it is I need to remember. I believe it to be inevitable that someday memories will fade and I like to look back on dreams long since past and relive those thoughts. So it goes—I currently find myself thinking about what I want to accomplish before the end.

Commentary by Lori Goldsby [email protected]

The holiday season is always a nostalgic time for me. It’s funny to see how trends come and

go and what remains becomes “tradition.” I remember the year I was first teaching and working

on my master’s degree, I purchased all presents through catalogs and thought I was so clever.

A few years later, Internet shopping was all the rage. And while those avenues are incredibly useful for time-sensitive or shopping phobic, for the past couple of years I have been seeking out specialty boutiques and locally owned businesses and try to support them. I actually found myself humming, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christ-mas” as I bounced around to some local boutiques on a blustery day. There is something about the warmth you receive when popping in to a local shop that can’t compare with the mall down the road!

As a foodie, I am worried about my turkey first. We are very fortunate to have a wonderful meat market here in Fishers. Archer’s Meats is the oldest business in downtown Fishers. I usu-ally send in my husband for our weekly steaks and chicken breasts. Their fresh turkeys come from Minnesota and are not frozen or injected with “broth” (basically a salt solution). Another option is Jonah’s Market. I adore the fresh sea-food and usually pick up my oysters and shrimp for the holidays from them. They are also offering fresh turkeys this year. For a great recipe, go to www.food52.com and search “dry brine.” It will be a game changer!

Shopping local for the holidays

If you are out and about with all of this shop-ping, stop by Rita’s Back Yard to pick out a beautiful Christmas tree and book a holiday tea with your friends. It’s a great way to gather your girlfriends or mother-daughter group for a little stress-free time together.

As I reminisce about those recipes that were favorites as a kid, I think of this veggie casserole that I wouldn’t touch now … how times have changed! Basically, it was frozen California blend veggies with a Velveeta sauce and topped by Ritz cracker crumbs.

Police acted swiftly to catch suspect

Commentary by Larry Lannan

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”

The person to first coin that phrase was either Joseph P. Ken-

nedy, the father of President John F. Kennedy, or legendary Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne.

No matter who invented that quote, it ap-plies to the way the Fishers community came together when police were faced with a murder investigation after a body was found on Novem-ber 1. An arrest was made on Nov. 4.

When police began looking into the death of Henry Kim, 73, of Fishers, they asked for assis-tance from the public for any information that might be helpful in finding the person respon-sible. There were a number of tips that came in to local authorities.

Based on the information that is now public, a teacher at Hamilton Southeastern High School notified police about a change in appearance in one of her students, compared to the last time he was in class. Based on that information and other leads, a search warrant was issued, lead-ing to the arrest of Maxwell Winkler, 17.

Many parents have asked on social media why Winkler was allowed to be in a classroom Mon-day, Nov. 3, if he was a murder suspect. Based

on all the information available, police did not zero-in on Winkler as a suspect until the Monday evening, long after classes had been dismissed for the day. School authorities were not aware one of their students would be charged with murder until about 8 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 3. Winkler was arrested early on Nov. 4.

Fishers is a place where a crime like murder rarely ever happens. You wonder if local authori-ties will be ready when they must respond to a murder case. In this instance, the police and the community acted quickly and worked together and an arrest resulted.

Police will certainly review how this case was handled with a critical eye as to how they could do a better job next time. Hamilton Southeastern School Board President John DeLucia said at the Nov. 10 meeting that the school system will re-view how the situation was handled and “always reserve the right to get better and improve.”

As Fishers continues to grow, odds are we will experience more serious criminal acts. That doesn’t mean Fishers isn’t a safe place to live. We just need to get tough when faced with tough situations.

With the impending change of Fishers from a town to a city, the town is asking residents to express their thoughts on what they would like the future city of Fishers to look like. The town is calling it “My Fishers” and you can send your thoughts to www.fishers.in.us/FutureofMyFishers. This is one installment:

By Jill Troha • [email protected]

The future of Fishers? In my opinion, ener-getic, vibrant, and event-filled. I moved

to Fishers three years ago and was delighted to

find a well-educated, culture-embracing population of families, senior citizens, and single people creating a community. From what I see, our city planners are fulfilling a vision of a central gathering space filled with music, family-owned restau-rants, and accessible artwork showcasing lots of local talent along the way.

Live music is a personal favorite of mine, and I am particularly proud of the new amphithe-ater and the variety of genres represented in the programming there. It seems that at least three times a week we have the option to enjoy musical talent somewhere in Fishers, which speaks well of the priorities of our city leaders. Parks and recreation has also worked hard to

My Fishers: Its futuredetermine what form residents think our parks should take, and I am proud to see the focus on enhancing pathways that can be used for active transportation as well as programs to meet the needs of many age groups. Multiple civic groups make it easy for newcomers to get involved and I see many collaborative efforts happening as our city plays a role in convening those with like interests.

Innovative ideas on how to attract new businesses by encouraging entrepreneurs and

investing in space that allows start-ups to grow is evident in our Launch Fish-ers. With intense competition for new businesses, I view Launch as a tremen-dous asset to our community, nurturing good ideas into thriving businesses located here in Fishers. Additionally, we are well on our way to developing a unique, affordable framework that

can attract and retain youthful employees who enjoy active lifestyles. Creating an interesting mix of events, parks, and eating options within reach on a quick bike ride or walking path is a smart approach that I believe appeals to future generations.

It takes courage to create a sense of place that accommodates so many people of different age groups, cultures, faiths and family structures in a way that lets everyone feel a part of the new city that we are becoming.

Local sports training facility SPARTA is set to begin their second Junior Leadership Program

on Dec. 7 in Fishers. Kids in grades 6 – 12 can register for the 10-week course that meets once a week on

Sunday afternoons and utilizes Inspire2Impact training to teach personal development and leadership.

SPARTA offers sports activities for all ages, and it’s the youth coaching experience that led to the creation of the Junior Leadership program. “The evolution of Sparta started with a mentoring mindset,” said Luke Dunnuck, SPARTA owner and Director of Youth Development.

He went on to explain that kids need to learn to create a positive culture within their groups of friends. “Kids are struggling,” stated Dunnuck. “We need an aggressive shift in leadership within peer groups. Great leaders build leaders, not fol-lowers,” he continued.

The Junior Leadership program’s Inspire2Im-pact curriculum consists of exploring personal development by learning the Five I’s: Identity, Intentional, Influence, Interpersonal and Inclusive. Leadership skills are incorporated by studying

SPARTA offers leadership programCharacter, Culture and more.

SPARTA strives to make Inspire2Impact something that kids enjoy. “It’s important that it doesn’t feel like school so that kids can see this as their own program and as a want-to,” said Dunnuck. “For example, we have the kids make a bucket list. We start off with identity and with questions like ‘Who am I, What do I stand for’ and then we go into deeper things.”

Dunnuck explained that kids learn how to function in a group. “Kids want to make a differ-ence when they’re challenged to a higher calling,” he stated. “They struggle to influence their peer group so we show them how.”

Brian Howard, 16, participated in the program and described the benefits. “You look at yourself in a deeper way than the majority of kids our age,” said Howard. “I’m looking at who I am and who I really want to be. I’ve definitely learned how to build better relationships and know how to handle things in a better way.”

Registration is open for the next Junior Lead-ership program. Call SPARTA at 842-2933 for details or visit www.spartaindy.com/youth-lead-ership-program. “We’re trying to send inspired and empowered kids into their cultures to take it back where it should be,” said Dunnuck.

I would have to say Wild Ginger is my favorite restaurant. I love their fresh sushi.

Have you had a boss or colleague you ad-mired? If so, why?

I had a former boss who was just a good lead-er. … She taught me a lot as a young woman and how to go out and pursue a career.

What is something nobody knows about you?

I solo flew a plane … then I quit lessons. It was too scary for me up there and I got lost. My instructor was like, ‘Now, tell me where we are.’ And I was like, ‘I have no idea!’ Now I know this isn’t for me.

Dahlia’s owners plan progressive dinner to showcase downtown businesses

Susan Levering arranging ornaments at Dahlia’s


Zoa Hackman’s dream of opening a home décor and gift store became reality after much planning. Partnering with her mother, Susan Le-

vering, they found a quaint downtown Fishers shop at 11631 Maple St., seemingly

perfect for Dahlia’s Gifts and Unique Finds.Hackman didn’t think twice about working

with her mom. “We’re fortunate that we get along so well. We have similar tastes and we always have,” said Hackman.

Named after the flower that Hackman’s grandfather loved most, the vision was to offer uncommon gifts and household items. The build-ing itself has a unique layout. The Maple Street storefront features gift items, such as jewelry, Indiana-made lip gloss and items for children. The back building showcases seasonal home décor and art.

“We wanted to offer unique things, but also affordable things,” said Hackman.

They opened on May 16. On June 15, construc-tion began on Maple Street, outside Dahlia’s front door. “The construction has been a challenge because people have purposely avoided the area,” said Levering.

To help bring attention to some of the busi-nesses that have been affected by the road closures in downtown Fishers, Hackman thought of an idea: getting together with other down-town businesses to host a progressive shopping event. Similar to a progressive dinner often held in neighborhoods during the holiday season, each stop along the progressive shopping tour will offer one course of a meal.

After months of construction, the event’s main purpose is to let the public see that the small downtown businesses are open and ready for the holiday shopping season.

After a rough start, Levering is confident that business will improve after the construction is finished. “With Bub’s (restaurant) coming, once everything is done this area will be thriv-ing. People want to shop and walk,” she said.

TwigsNext to Dahlia’s Gifts

and Unique Finds, Twigs, a European-influenced home décor and gift shop, is also ready for holiday customers. After 18 years in Fishers, owner Debbie Cook feels well established. Twigs has been at 11643 Maple St. for four years.

“I’ve been here long enough to sustain clientele through the construction,” said Cook. “I used the downtime to work on (my own) construction.”

Formerly a home decora-tor, Cook decided to add a tea room to Twigs. The central dining room of the tea room’s plans includes seating for 26 people. In the spring, Cook will add a solarium. “The solarium will have remote control walls, so we can put them down

to make an open-air space. We’re really excited about it,” Cook said.

She plans to hold events such as candlelight dinners for couples and rent the space for pri-vate parties. “Construction has been horrible, but in my eyes, it will be well worth it. I have embraced it,” she said.

Twigs is ready for the holidays. Home décor staged to look like the loveliest of holiday dinners takes two weeks to arrange.

Lily & SparrowSisters Jen and Steph Miller opened Lily &

Sparrow clothing boutique in March at 11720 Maple St. Both in their 20s, they realized it was a big endeavor. “We had a dream to have a bou-tique. We started praying about it two years ago and then we just decided to pursue it,” Steph said. Everything fell into place.

“It happened really, really quickly. We were both working full-time jobs, but it’s been awe-some to see the dream happen,” said Jen.

Inspired by two passages in the Bible from

the Book of Matthew when choosing a name for their store, the two women incorporate their shared faith into their business decisions.

“We pick good quality pieces in a range of prices. We want customers to feel welcome and find at least one piece that they love,” said Steph.

“In our hearts, we want to reach people and build relationships,” added Jen.

Both women want to combat society’s image of the perfect woman. They want customers to feel confident when they look in the mirror; they make buying decisions to reflect this goal.

“We’re excited about participating in the progressive dinner. When Zoa came to us, we thought this was a great way to combine our customer base with theirs to help support small business,” Steph said.

The Downtown Fishers Progressive Shopping Event will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. Dec. 4. Oth-er stores participating include Vardagen, a T-shirt shop, 8684 E. 116th St.; Roman & Leo, a trendset-ting boys’ apparel store, 8664 E. 116th St.; and Best of What’s Around, a vintage furniture and gift store, 8745 E. 116th St.

The highest point in our state seemed like the perfect place to launch an initiative aimed at examining the ag-related biosciences and business in Indiana. A sizable assemblage of agribusiness, biotech and information technol-ogy royalty gathered on the top-floor conference center of the Chase Tower in Indianapolis at the geographic heart of our homeland to introduce us to AgriNovus.

Launched with the tagline “Examining the Agbiosciences in Indiana – A State of Innovation,” David Johnson, president and CEO of the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership and Biocross-roads, introduced the new concept and pledged to bring his considerable resources to bear in shining “a spotlight on the innovation in the food and agricultural sector and support continued growth in the industry.”

On the Statue of Liberty is an oft-repeated and embraced quote. Courtesy of the late poet, Emma Lazarus, it goes like this: “Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free/The wretched refuse of your teeming shore/Send these, the home-less, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” It has well more than stood the test of time, for this great nation is a wonderful melting pot, a land of opportunity for those willing to seek it and make the most of it in a positive manner. Last Thursday, Presi-dent Barack Obama was to have delivered an executive order on immigration. The White House said this would be “a step forward in the president’s plan to work with Congress on passing common sense, comprehensive im-migration reform.” Judge Andrew Napolitano, a news personality, posted this to his Facebook account: “Obama is NOT the lawmaker - he is the law enforcer. And he is grossly abusing his discretion when it comes to ‘immigration’ reform.” We agree the system is seriously flawed, and Lazarus probably is spinning in her grave, but what the hell is Congress for - other than a dime-store sideshow in this case? Without all the details, we still know that the president has urged Americans to not “visit the sins of the parents upon the blameless children.” The actual policy, however, exempts the parents as well, The Atlantic points out. The supposed immigration plan would wel-come additional waves of illegal immigration; count on it. His plan would legalize permanent residency for scores of criminal immigrants. Maybe that’s what Lazarus meant by “wretch-ed refuse?” The immigrants’ lower incomes will get them into social programs once the ink is dry; that will cost all of us a bundle. As The Atlantic points out, the president’s move tech-nically may be legal, “but it rips up accepted norms of presidential conduct.” Presidents are sworn to faithfully execute the laws … even if they don’t like them. This, like so many orders before it, is a thumbed nose.

Call for helpCommentary by Danielle Wilson

Uncle! I’m calling it. I’ve had enough with the bad mojo in the world bringing me down. At a time when I am supposed to be giving thanks for what I have, I seem to be continu-ally distracted by major bummers. Like the day I forgot my phone at home.

A typical Tuesday would see me leaving work as soon as the school bell rings and rac-ing across town to pick up my youngest from her Orff ensemble practice to get her to tum-bling by 4. Even with perfect execution, we’re usually a couple of minutes late.

On my phone-free day, however, already running about five minutes behind, I found a cop car completely blocking access to my normal route. People were stopping mid-street and three-point-turning-it to go back the way we’d come, but in my infinite wisdom, I con-tinued onward toward a super-secret short cut. A mile later, I realized my shortcut actually started at a different location, one that re-quired access to the blocked street. Argh! I did my own U-turn and ended up back in the same traffic jam I’d just scoffed at. After another excruciating five minutes of waiting to turn left onto the detour, I found myself first stuck behind a school bus dropping off kids and then at a stoplight that was allowing only one car through the intersection each cycle.

Completely helpless, I watched the pick-up time come and go. Subconsciously, I reached for my phone to call the school or a neighbor before realizing that said phone was not in my van but rather charging on my kitchen counter. Cue panic! How could I communicate my predicament? Should I pull over at the gas station and borrow a phone? Can I get Internet on my laptop while driving? Why is this (sniffle, sob) happening to me?

Just drive, woman, drive! Images of my abandoned daughter crying in the cold drizzle dive-bombed my already-guilty psyche, bring-ing with them my own tears of frustration. When I finally reached her school, a solid 20 minutes late, I was one hot mess. Her teacher had kindly waited with her inside the building after two separate mommy friends had offered to take her home. But tumbling obviously was no longer a possibility.

My daughter’s sweet words of “It’s OK, Mom. I have a lot of homework anyway. I’m just glad you’re OK!” made me feel even worse. She’d tried to reach me several times and was start-ing to think I’d been in an accident. To that end, she’d called my husband Doo (of course, away on a business trip) multiple times to ask for help.

All because I left my stupid phone at home. UNCLE! Peace out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

It’s time for a look at part II of the Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue, which contains hundreds

of gifts that you can probably do without. But don’t let this stop you from sending these gifts to others.

The Brain Wave Animated Cat Ears: This is a headband with furry ears that moves in response to a person’s thoughts and moods. For example, when something piques your interest, the ears stand at attention. Men looking for ro-mantic encounters find this a total turn-on when worn by a woman, but some are put off at by the frequent trips to the kitty litter.

The Buffet Eaters Wine Glass Holder: I re-ally want one of these, so I hope my wife is read-ing this column. This device allows you to hang your filled wine glass around your neck, so that your two hands are free to stuff tiny quiches and pigs in a blanket in your mouth while talking on a cell phone or checking for text messages. If you are really friendly, you could, I suppose, even shake someone’s hand. Also great for horses that enjoy Chablis.

Hungry Person’s Ice Cream Scoop. It’s pay-back time for the giant beer mug your husband bought himself that holds 64 ounces of beer, al-lowing him to honestly tell you that he’s just hav-ing one glass. Now you can keep to your diet even with ice cream, by simply limiting yourself to one scoop. This scoop holds two gallons of ice cream.

The gift you keep on givingHang it in your garage next to the snow shovel.

The Reading Time Clock: OK, I’m going to vote this the dumbest gadget I have ever seen. Instead of numbers on a round clock, it has real words come up on a screen. So it says: it’s eight thirty. Of course, the clock doesn’t actually say it, you have to read it. A minute later we see: it’s eight thirty-one. Who would want this as a gift? Maybe it’s for people who are literate — they know all the letters — just never learned numbers?

Heated Bathrobe: This is a bathrobe with lithium batteries so that you can plug it in and feel a soothing warmth when you get out of the shower. In this same catalogue you can also buy battery-operated gloves, battery-operated socks and battery-operated ear muffs. You also buy a flashlight that doesn’t require batteries. Well, that’s a stupid idea.

The Talking RC Police Cruiser: This is a remote controlled toy police car that lets kids record their own message to broadcast to neighborhood ne’er-do-wells, like “Drop That Toy.” Great experience for your own children who may someday want to go into law enforcement or for the little gangster next door who is already studying for a life in the slammer.

CTC looks to ‘Wales’ for holiday production

THEATEr

By Mark Robinson • [email protected]

When Carmel Theatre Company leaders sought a unique stage production for this Christmas season, they were eager to find just the right

play. They think they have it in “A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” based on the Dylan Thomas short

story with musical adaptation by Jeremy Brooks and Adrian Mitchell.

Performances are scheduled Dec. 4 to Dec. 7 and Dec. 11 through Dec. 14 at Studio 15, 15 First Ave. NE in the Carmel Arts & Design District.

“When I heard (CTC board members) June and John Clair were looking for a family-friendly holi-day production, I decided to see if I could find a Christmas story that wasn’t the same retelling of Scrooge’s misadventures or holiday pageants gone awry,” said Pam Kingsley, a fellow CTC board member and past performer who is direct-ing this production. “‘A Child’s Christmas in Wales’ is a funny, charming, magical musical adaptation of the Dylan Thomas short story that is truly made for all ages to enjoy. The music is abso-lutely wonderful, packed full of familiar holiday tunes and some beautiful Welsh songs.”

Thomas, better known as a poet from Wales,

wrote the short story in the 1940s and recorded an audio version in 1952, a year before his death. Since then, it has been turned into a stage production and film. The story is a fictional auto-biographical account of a man remembering his Christmas and those around him as a youth. The CTC said it believes this may be the Indiana pre-miere of the musical, calling it “a warm, nostalgic story filled with all the good things of Christmas, which will conjure up memories of family Christ-mas celebrations the world over.”

Dalyn Stewart, a 12-year-old home-schooled student from Westfield, stars as young Dylan. Stewart has been performing since he was 8 through the Wisdom Builders home school co-op he attends and in church camp shows, but “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” marks his CTC debut. “I just love getting in front of people,” Stewart said of his affection for performing. “I love the singing, the acting, everything about it.”

Stewart wasn’t familiar with the play before auditioning, but he has been immersed in it ever since.

“I like the storyline of it, how the adult Dylan is basically telling the story in his mind and it’s playing out on the stage,” Stewart said. “I love the humor, the fun, I love the enthusiasm. It’s a

family, loving, fun, adventurous play of a boy that has the best Christmas ever.”

Rick Sharp, who in real life serves on the Car-mel City Council and began performing in local theater at age 50, returns to the stage as the adult Dylan narrating the show. Sharp said the role is “both challenging and fascinating.”

“The challenging part is I only interact with the cast once,” he added. “We were joking the other night about it and I said, ‘It’s almost like I’m in a completely different story.’ The part that’s fasci-nating is the language. The richness and variety and the phrasing that Dylan Thomas used in writing this is just amazing. It’s language as an art, which we don’t practice so much in the 21st century. That presents some of the challenge because … I (have to be) careful to convey the meaning of the words as well as the sentiment.”

The cast consists of 21 actors and singers, most from Carmel, Westfield and Zionsville. Carol Ked-dington serves as musical director. Show time is 7 p.m. for Thursday, Friday and Saturday performanc-es and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $18 for the general public, $12 for students 12 and under and seniors 62 and over. Group discounts are available. To make reservations, call 688-8876. Visit CarmelT-heatreCompany.com for more information.

For the past five years, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Carmel has been hosting a

Madrigal Feast to raise proceeds for various charities, as well as feed

and entertain hundreds of people. In the past years, proceeds have gone to various special-needs schools and cancer research programs, including Voices of Hope. The event is put on by the church’s choir, which following this year’s feast on Dec. 6, will determine the charity that the proceeds will benefit.

“The feast is great,” said Bill Christoff, director of the church choir and the event. “The feast has grown tremendously each year they have done it.”

During the feast, the choir will perform an original medieval play, written by choir member Kathie Samuelson. In addition, the feast will also consist of a four-course meal prepared by some of the finest chefs in all the land, as well as wine and coffee preceding the dinner. The Madrigal Feast has been a great way to bring people to-gether to enjoy an evening of medieval fun and help the needy. It is a fantastic time that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Shaffer lends voice to Circle City Sound

MUSIC

By Mark Ambrogi • [email protected]

Jack Shaffer has sung barbershop and South-ern gospel music nearly his entire life.

Shaffer, a Carmel resident, is a member of the Circle City Sound, an all-male chorus.

The Circle City Sound will hold its annual Christmas show at 2 p.m. on Dec. 13 at Pike High School Performing Arts Center, 6701 Zionsville Rd. There also will be special guest barbershop quar-tets. The Reen Family Singers will be featured in the second half of the show.

“Remember the Osmond family, well, they don’t hold a candle to this family,” Shaffer said. “They are all very talented. Mom (Sophie) plays the harp, dad (Steve) is a Ph.D in music. Six of the kids play classical piano. Several play violin and several guitar.”

Steve and his three oldest sons sing with the

Circle City Sound, which started in Indianapolis in 1948.

Circle City Sound’s chorus earned the district chorus championship on Sept. 27 in Indianapolis and qualified for the international competition on July 3 in Pittsburgh. Circle City Sound finished seventh in the international competition in July in Toronto.

Shaffer said the members come from all over Knightstown, Rushville, Muncie, Anderson and Kokomo. Shaffer said many come from Carmel, Westfield and Noblesville. The age range of group members is from 12 to 80.

Shaffer, a tenor, has been a member for more than three years. Shaffer, 74, started in a barber-shop quartet at Selma (Ind.) High School (later consolidated into Wapahani). Shaffer sang South-ern Gospel music professionally for 20 years.

Tickets are $15 for general admission ($18 at the door), $20 for premier seating. Call 849-0324 for ticket orders. Doors open at 1:15 p.m.

The public has two opportunities to attend this year’s Madrigal Feast on Dec. 6, at either 12:30 or 6 p.m., at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 3500 W. 106th St., Carmel. Tickets are $50 and available by calling the church office at 733-3033.

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre rekindles the spirit of the holidays with a special original

production that’s been loved for generations. In its longstanding tradition, A Beef & Boards Christ-

mas opens Nov. 28, the day after Thanksgiving, to herald in the season.

Performing throughout the show will be Bobbi Bates and Peter Scharbrough, who return from last season’s production. They are joined by Heather Patterson-King, most recently seen as Mrs. Banks in “Mary Poppins,” and newcomer Matt Branic. The featured vocalist is Kendra Lynn Lucas.

Children will be excited to see Santa and his friends take the stage – and they’ll even be able to visit him during intermission for pictures.

Indiana author Kurt Vonnegut’s play “Who Am I this Time? (And

Other Conundrums of Love)” will come to life from Nov. 28

to Dec. 14 at the Carmel Community Playhouse.

The play, directed by Jan Jamison, takes three of Vonnegut’s early works and weaves them together “into a seamless evening of hilarity and humanity.”

“I saw ‘Who Am I This Time (And Other Conundrums of Love)’ as part of my IRT series last year. It is a very entertaining, thoughtful, relaxing eve-ning, where I sat for two hours and forgot all about the ‘outside world.’ Work, life and relationship stresses,” Jamison said. “I thoroughly enjoyed the show and knew I wanted to direct it for a local community theater. The easiness, the ‘homey’ feel, I genuinely like the characters, and it’s all about love!”

The show features a cast of seven – three female characters and four male actors.

“It really is an ensemble cast. Two of the ac-tors, Syd Loomis and Kristen Wilson, play Tom and Kate Newton and play only these charac-ters,” Jamison said. “The other actors, Addison Arhendts, Christopher Dietrick, Carrel Regan, Neal Eggeson and Johnny Mullens, all play two or three roles.”

“Who Am I this Time?” also features Larry Montag as producer, Vickie Phipps as assistant producer, Patricia Dorwin as costume designer, Kathy Watson on props, and Logan Graham as lighting designer.

The curtain will rise on “Who Am I This Time?” at the Carmel Community Playhouse, 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd, Suite 140, at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $15 for adults and $13 for students and seniors 62 and older and are available online at www.carmel players.org/tickets or by calling the box office at 815-9387.

Thanksgiving Week GamesTailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

It’s Thanksgiving Week and the forecast is for cool/cold weather on the weekend. Every year at this time we warn you not to buy a bunch of stuff to serve at your tailgate party. Use what’s left of your Thanksgiving turkey to provide a warm and hearty turkey soup that everyone will love. For a sweet dessert, you can serve slices of pumpkin pie that are also a leftover.

Easy Turkey Rice SoupIngredients• 1 leftover turkey carcass (from a 12ish-

pound turkey)• 1/2 gallon of water• 1 medium onion, cut into quarters• 1/2 teaspoon salt• 2-3 bay leaves• 1 cup chopped carrots• 1 cup uncooked long grain rice (or even add

some wild rice if you want)• 1/3 cup chopped celery• 1/4 cup chopped onion• 1/2 cup of other chopped vegetables from

dinner• 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of

chicken or cream of mushroom soup, Preparation: Place the turkey carcass in a

stockpot; add the water, onion, salt and bay leaves. Slowly bring to a boil over low heat; cover and simmer for two hours.

Remove and cool the carcass. Strain broth and skim fat. Discard onion and bay leaves. Return broth to the pan. Add the carrots, celery and chopped onion; cover and simmer until rice and vegetables are tender. Remove turkey from bones; discard bones and cut turkey into bite-size pieces. Then cool the liquid mixture overnight.

Game Day: Skim off any fat from the liquid and then add turkey, rice and cream soup to broth; heat through. Pack the pot in a cooler sur-rounded by towels and newspapers to transport it to the game. Re-heat the pot on your grill or stove in the tailgate lot. Serve in mugs with French bread hunks. Yield: 8-10 servings (about 2 quarts).

By James Feichtner • [email protected]

Looking back 20 to 30 years ago, the medical practice of plastic surgery wasn’t nearly as pop-

ular as it is today. Typically procedures were more common with women, but

as advances in medicine and the proven benefits of surgery increase, today more men than ever are getting the surgery.

According to the American Society of Aes-thetic Plastic Surgery, the number of cosmetic procedures for men increased by more than 106 percent between 1997 and 2012. A 2013 study conducted by ASAPS showed 23 percent of facial surgeons nationwide surveyed said men under 35 years old sought services ranging from rhinoplasty, neck liposuction and chin implants to acne scar elimination and hair transplant procedures.

Local plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Hamilton, who performs many facial surgeries in Carm-el, spoke about the increase in male plastic surgeries, attrib-uting it to the popularity of the procedures with women over the past few decades as well as safer, more developed surgical techniques.

“I think it’s similar to what we saw with wom-en over the last 20 years,” Hamilton said. “As people recognized surgery was safe and could really enhance people’s lives, it became more acceptable with women and now it’s just slowly creeping into the male community where they see it, they see that (other men) had the surgery and that they are comfortable with it and think, why not? It’s become safer, techniques are bet-ter and people see that they can do it and have nice results and so they are more comfortable. I think just a lot of the changing dynamics that men are more comfortable with those types of things than they were 20 to 30 years ago.”

But when it comes to considering plastic sur-gery, Hamilton said he believes getting to know your surgeon is crucial to the success of the procedure. One of the most important aspects is being comfortable with them.

“I always tell patients to meet with the sur-geons and make sure that you’re comfortable with them,” he said. “It should be somebody that you can talk to and feel comfortable with and know that they’re going to take care of you after the surgery. Those are important things.”

Aside from feeling comfortable with your sur-geon, there are several other aspects Hamilton recommends looking into when considering a procedure. These include the education and cer-tifications of the surgeon, his or her experience, cost and discussing one’s expectation of the results.

For the 23rd year, the greater Indiana chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association hosted its an-

nual Chocolate Sunday event on Nov. 16 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel.

Washing down gourmet dark, white and milk chocolate with champagne would be a fantastic way to spend a Sunday in and of itself, but the Alzheimer’s Association made it so much more.

A silent auction was held where guests could bid on items such as gift baskets and experiences. There were also chances to win items through a raffle, and even a live auction was held. Guests got the chance to win Colts tickets, Pacers tickets and tickets to the David Letterman show in its final season. The best part is that the proceeds from this event went to the Alzheimer’s Association. The association

works tirelessly to raise Alzheimer’s aware-ness, support Alzheimer sufferers, educate the public about the disease and fund research.

“We don’t have a cure yet, but we’re work-ing on it,” said communications director Leah Shattuck.

Not only is Alzheimer’s incurable, treatments need improvement and awareness needs to be raised.

“We try to help people see how much Al-zheimer’s affects the United States,” she said.

One way they accomplished this goal was by showing a film the Alzheimer’s Association put together, which profiled two families deeply affected by the disease and greatly helped by the association.

Not only does the film raise awareness, it helps donors and potential donors see exactly where their donations go, and what they help to achieve.

Helping our aging parents

Jon is the president of the Carmel based marketing firm Qpr&marketing. He can be reached at [email protected]

Commentary by Jon Quick

So many of us can relate to this story. Mom and Dad are well into retirement. They have en-

joyed much of it, but as age takes over, they begin hav-ing difficulty with activities

which once were simple - making meals, driving a car, handling their finances. Add in complex changes to health care from Obamacare and new Medicaid rules, and many seniors and their families don’t know where to turn.

Not many know there is help avail-able through the assistance of an elder law attorney. “Elder law attorneys concentrate their practice on assisting clients with the complex issues of aging,” said Rebecca Geyer, president of the Indiana Chapter of the National Association of Elder Law Attor-neys. “We address health insurance issues, living arrangements, competency, financial concerns and much more. Elder law attorneys serve as resources to assist families in finding answers to the questions which arise as people age.”

This year has seen many changes affecting Indiana’s seniors, especially those on Medicaid. Over two-thirds of Indiana nursing home resi-dents receive assistance through Medicaid and thousands more receive Medicaid assistance at home or in assisted living. In June, Indiana implemented significant changes to its Medicaid

rules as Indiana became what is known as an SSI state. “NAELA led a massive pro bono effort to prepare Qualified Income Trusts (also known as Miller Trusts) for nursing home residents who are now required to have these trusts in place if their monthly income exceeds $2,163,” Geyer adds. “NAELA members can provide help and guidance through the sometimes difficult chal-

lenges of understanding Indiana’s new health care regulations.”

Targeting scams against seniorsNAELA is also at the forefront of pro-

tecting seniors from financial abuse. Too often we read about instances of fraud and scams against our elder popula-tion. Seniors are especially vulnerable to identity theft, phone and Internet

scams. They receive calls from people claiming to be the Social Security Administration telling them that they owe, in some cases, thousands of dol-lars in order to continue to get Social Security and insurance coverage from the government. Some scam artists have even figured out ways to make words like “IRS” show up on telephone caller ID’s. For more information, visit NAELA.org.

More than 2,100 homes pended in October, with three Central Indiana counties reporting increased

sales compared to the same time period last year, accord-ing to statistics compiled by

F.C. Tucker Company. Overall, October 2014 pended home sales rose 0.1 percent to 2,172 over October 2013, a modest increase of two homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Year-to-date, 24,972 homes pended, a decline of 1,286 homes compared to the same time period in 2013.

In the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks, homes sold for an average of $176,703 year-to-date, an increase of 6.5 percent compared to the same time period last year. Hamilton County was among the areas that experienced slightly higher home sale prices. On average, prices rose to $267,436 from $252,235 compared to the same time period last year.

• In Fishers, the average year-to-date sale price in October was $254,213, an increase of 6.1 percent compared to the same time period last year.

• Inventory is moving fast. Last month, homes in Fishers remained on the market an aver-

age of 64 days, a decrease of five days from October 2013.

• The number of homes for sale in Fishers has risen slightly. In October 2014, 630 homes were on the market, an increase of 34 homes in October 2013.

• Pended home sales experienced a decrease in Fishers. Last month, 143 homes pended, a decrease of 12 homes from October 2013.

• Of the pended home sales in Fish-ers last month, two were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; three were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 24 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 44 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 69 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less.

Home sales are comparable to this time last year. Though the increase was modest, we remain encouraged by positive sales and higher home prices – characteristics of our ongoing market stabilization.

Washington’s Old Virginia Home East Side of Washington’s home, facing the Potomac River. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Commentary by Don Knebel

Two hundred twenty-five years ago, George Washington issued a proclamation from New

York, asking Americans to thank God on Nov. 26, 1789, for “affording them an opportunity peaceably to

establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.” Washington himself was most thankful on March 4, 1797, when he ended his second term as President of that government and returned to his beloved Mount Vernon estate.

Washington inherited a half-interest in Mount Vernon, near Alexandria, Va., from his half-brother Lawrence, who had named the property after a British admiral. In 1758, before obtaining complete ownership, Washington began enlarging the small farmhouse his father had built overlook-ing the Potomac River. Upon reaching its cur-rent size in 1774, the house encompassed 11,028 square feet and 21 rooms. The exterior was covered by bevel-edged blocks of yellow pine, made to resemble stone by pouring a layer of sand onto wet paint. At Washington’s instruction, the weather vane atop a hexagonal cupola fea-tured a dove with an olive branch of peace in its mouth. Washington also designed the two-story piazza facing the river that was widely copied.

At its peak, Washington’s Mount Vernon plan-tation included 8,000 acres, devoted primarily to tobacco and wheat and worked by hundreds of slaves. By 1797, Washington had soured on slav-ery and upon his death in 1799 he bequeathed the 123 slaves he owned to his wife Martha, with instructions they be freed upon her death. She freed them a year later. Visitors since 1833 have reported a slave cemetery on the property, but surface evidence of it eventually disappeared. On Sept. 21, 1983, the Mount Vernon Ladies Associa-tion, owners of the property since 1858, dedi-cated a cylindrical monument near the tombs of George and Martha Washington to mark the graves of “Afro Americans who served as slaves at Mount Vernon.”

Mount Vernon’s mansion, outbuildings and 500 remaining acres are open to the public 365 days a year, reflecting Washington’s hospitality while living there. Of the more than 80 million visitors since then, only those since 2007 have been able to purchase whiskey from a working replica of Washington’s distillery.

On the evolution of languageCommentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: “Jordan, I was tempted to write you after your comments on ‘may’ vs. ‘can’. I

didn’t, but your com-ments on ‘snuck’ and ‘sneaked’ have tipped me

over the edge. I know English is a living language and needs to be with new ideas, inventions, etc., that need identifying. However, why do the powers that be and dictionaries allow bad lan-guage to become good or acceptable language just because so many people use it? Bad is bad, regardless. Why ever learn good English if one’s bad English will eventually be acceptable. To allow the bad to become good is allowing our language to go downhill. Let the bad stay bad and if a large number of people want to speak bad English, so be it. But at least they will know it is bad English.” -- (John Ross)

Answer: Every year, dictionaries release their list of new words that have been “officially” add-ed to the language and words that have gained new meanings. Every year I cringe (Not “selfie!”).

The conceit that you and I allow ourselves in

these moments is that there are “powers that be” when it comes to language. But that is not how language evolves.

There is a great quote from “This Craft of Verse” by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges about just this notion:

“… language is not, as we are led to sup-pose by the dictionary, the invention of academicians or philologists. Rather, it has been evolved through time … by peasants, by fishermen, by hunters, by riders.”

When we say things like, “How could they let that become acceptable!” or “Why don’t they enforce the rules of grammar?” we’re expecting the tail to wag the dog. The role of the dictionary is that of a scribe: recording how the language is used at this point in time by the people who use it. When the language changes, so must the dictionary – lest it risk becoming irrelevant.

INSIDE & OUT

Commentary by Larry Greene

ORIGINAL POOL DECK: This home, located in the Claybridge subdivision in West Carmel, in-

cluded a wooden deck connected to the pool area. The homeowners were constantly battling

the intense sun and heat throughout the day and into the evening. This lack of backyard shade led the homeowners to add a new gazebo struc-ture with a rustic design and prominent view of the pool and scenic lake.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN: Set on a new concrete pier foundation, the 330-square-foot gazebo structure features a rustic design. Once the foundation work was complete, 6-by-6 decora-tive cedar columns were installed to support the roof. Rough sawn cedar trusses with black painted steel gusset plates were installed to provide additional structural support while also adding to the desired look.

FIREPLACE DETAILS: The stately fireplace was designed with functionality in mind. Real stone veneer in a “Chestnut Ashlar” color was installed over the concrete masonry unit fireplace. The interior fireplace wall features a 6-inch recess for the TV, two firewood storage areas and two weatherproof cabinets for lighting and media equipment. A gas line and valve was installed for the fireplace gas start system.

EXTERIOR FINISH & LIGHTING: A green metal

roof with matching gut-ters and downspouts was installed. A finish coat of stain was ap-plied to the columns, sid-ing, cedar trim and bead board ceiling to complete the final look. In order to provide adequate light-ing for evening enter-tainment, six well lights were installed around the perimeter of each cedar column. A ceiling fan/light in a bronze fin-ish also was installed on a dimmable switch.

RESULT: All design elements came together to create the perfect poolside retreat with year-round appeal. When it’s too chilly to relax in the shade after a dip in the pool, the homeowners and their family and friends like to gather around the cozy fireplace for s’mores and football on the outdoor TV.
