Mayor proposes changes to Range Line Road, 126th Street

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

As he prepares to begin his sixth term, Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard revealed plans to reshape Range Line Road by transportation turning it into a twolane boulevard with a landscaped median in the center. He also reiterated his goal to the remove the stop sign at 126th Street and Auman Drive as soon as a new city council takes office in January. For 126th Street – which became a hot topic during the municipal primary elections – Brainard said he anticipates a crosswalk will replace the stop sign. “We’re going to take this out of the political realm and let the Brainard city engineer decide,” he said. The mayor and many city councilors announced they wanted to remove the stop sign because it causes traffic backups and was viewed as unnecessary. Other city councilors said it was a safety concern, and as a result there weren’t enough votes on the council to remove the stop sign. Some of those councilors were voted out of office and replaced with councilors who support removing the sign. Brainard said he didn’t know if the pedestrian crosswalk would have flashing lights activated by pushing a button. “We’re not going to over-engineer it just because it’s been an issue,” he said. Brainard said one thing that should improve traffic and make it safer to cross the street is turning 126th Street into a two-lane road with a landscaped median between lanes. A pedestrian could stand on the median waiting to cross. Brainard wants to take the same approach with Range Line Road as well, eliminating the middle lane, which has been called a “suicide lane” by many because drivers can use this

center lane to turn both left or right, leading to instances where two cars can almost “play chicken” in their attempt to turn. “(A boulevard) is much safer,” Brainard said. “The possibility of a head-on collision goes away. It’s safer for pedestrians to cross because they can stand in the medians. Frankly, we don’t need those lanes. We need more capacity at intersections, and roundabouts would help make the traffic move in a better way.” Brainard said this redevelopment of Range Line Road – which is still very preliminary and doesn’t have costs released – would also allow for parallel parking along the street. In addition, the landscaped medians with greenery or flowers would help beautify the high-traffic area. “It really would be a grand entry into Carmel,” he said.

EntouRaj for Kids – Carmel Racquet Club, 225 E. Carmel Dr., will host EntouRaj for Kids from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Dec. 5.

City plans lawsuit over energy center By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said the City of Carmel is considering filing a lawsuit to help pay for repairs and costs for the city’s legal energy center. The energy center provides heating and cooling for several buildings, including City Hall and The Palladium. Brainard said it is more energy efficient than having units at each building and allows for better acoustics at the

concert hall. Recently, Steve Engelking, director of administration for the city, approached the Carmel City Council to ask for $325,000 to help pay for repairs and costs for the energy center. He said it’s difficult to replace certain equipment and make repairs. He said much of this is unanticipated because equipment broke down. Brainard said the ongoing repairs are due to an error when designing the energy center. As a result, the city is considering a lawsuit against

the designer to recoup the costs but no specific details have been released. He said the designer didn’t know there would be buildings around it, so it isn’t cooling as efficiently. The city had to rent special coolers during the summer to make it work in the warmer months. “That’s just a mistake,” Brainard said. “Those plans were in all of the newspapers, and they were publicized for years before it was built. So that’s an engineering mistake, and it shouldn’t be on the taxpayers to bear the brunt of the mistake.”

Mass transit bus route planned

By Sam Elliott • news@currentincarmel.com

Sean Northup, the assistant director of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization, presented transportation an update on the area’s mass transit plans to community leaders during the AllCounty Legislative Breakfast Fall Forum Nov. 13 at The Mansion at Oak Hill in Carmel. The main topic of Northup’s update was Indy Connect, the region’s initiative of transit plans involving a series of electric bus rapid transit lines — with the first phase of the initial line, which will include bus stations and some road expansions, scheduled to begin construction in the spring of 2017. “Bus rapid transit has become the state of the art in transportation technology,” Northup said. “It can mimic all of the characterizations of light rail generally at a fraction of the cost.” Phase 1 of the system’s first line, the Red Line, aims to open in the fall of 2018 as long as Indy Go — the current mass transit operator of Indianapolis — has its request for 80 percent of the Red Line’s funding through the Federal Transit Administration approved in the spring’s federal budget. Phase 1 of the Red Line will run from Broad

Ripple through central Marion County to the University of Indianapolis, with approximately 28 stops recommended as buses would arrive at each station every 10 to 15 minutes on average. “Fifteen minutes is a very, very important threshold because that’s the point when you stop checking a schedule and you just go off the line and jump on the transit when it comes, because it’s coming soon,” Northup said. Phase 2 would bring the Red Line into Hamilton County, as far north as Grand Park in Westfield, but a tax referendum would need to be approved by voters first to extend the Red Line past Phase 1. “In 2014, a bill passed that enables a referendum on the county basis in six counties in Central Indiana to ask for a dedicated income tax for transit ranging somewhere between one-tenth of one cent and one-quarter of a cent,” Northup said. “It seems possible that a referendum could run at least in Marion County in 2016, if not in Hamilton County or portions of Hamilton County as well as maybe portions of Johnson County.” See the bus routes at currentincarmel.com

Former city arts advisor helps launch new gallery

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Jerry Points, former arts advisor to the City of Carmel and owner of Eye on Art Gallery, has announced he is joining artnow open ist Magdalena Hoyos-Segovia to create Magdalena and Jerry Points Gallery of Art in the Carmel Arts & Design District at 27 E. Main St. Last December, Points was forced to close his gallery at 111 W. Main St. and resign from his advisor role because he became very ill with shingles. In addition, his wife is dealing with Parkinson’s. His health improved somewhat, and he was able to begin painting again from his home. Now, Points says he’s ready to begin working in a gallery again. His primary role will be as a gallery curator, and some of his art will be on display. “This was part of the gallery at Eye on Art Gallery that I really enjoyed,” he said. “I really enjoy working with artists.” Hoyos-Segovia has become busy with art classes for adults and children on the second floor of the space.

tinued to grow in popularity, so Points said he’s hoping to help out with shows at the gallery as a partner in the space. Points said they plan to display somewhat affordable pieces – not “gold frame” works that are a sizeable investment for buyers. In addition, he said there will be new works on display every month.

HSHC paraplegic dog adopted

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

After 13 months of living in a small office at the Humane Society for Hamilton County, a paraplegic pit bull has found a pets forever home. A packed house at the annual Tinsel & Tails fundraiser at the Ritz Charles cheered as they announced that Gracie would be adopted by a woman from Alabama. Gracie was hit by a car in Indianapolis, and her owners couldn’t afford to take care of her, so instead of taking her in for help, the owners left her in the backyard with no medical attention. Now, Gracie is unable to move her back legs and drags them as she excitedly runs to see people. She also has a cart that she can pull. Rebecca Stevens, executive director for the countywide shelter, said despite her traumatic experience with people, Gracie still seems to love everyone she encounters. Melinda Norris, a longtime supporter and three-time adopter from HSHC, drove in from Deatsville, Ala., to attend Tinsel & Tails and bring Gracie home. “Gracie loves in spite of what she’s been through,” Norris said. “I just love that the Hamilton County Humane Society just gives second chances. They never give up.”

Gracie, a paraplegic put bull, went home with her new owner after the Tinsel & Tails event. (Photo by Sam Aasen)

Gracie’s story was just one of many during an evening where the HSHC hit its $80,000 fundraising goal. The full total may even be higher when the silent auction proceeds are added up, Stevens said. Elise Bell, an employee at Noah’s Animal Hospital, said she met Ox, a rat terrier mix, when he came in with injuries from a previous owner who bathed him in bleach. The tiny dog had burned skin and is missing fur, but Bell fell in love and decided to take care of him through the foster program at the Humane Society for Hamilton County. “But when I took him home, I knew I had to keep him,” she said. “I’m very happy to be a ‘foster failure.’”

USA riders earn gold medals

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Teammates Faith Robbins of Carmel and Matt Huke of Westfield recently returned from Cape Town South Africa, achievement where they competed in the United States Equestrian Federation’s Young Rider Team. Yet they didn’t just bring back worldly experience but gold medals in all three of their divisions as well. The competition involved Huke, Robbins and the other four members of Team USA to ride horses they had never ridden before at three gaits – walk, trot and canter. “This competition was truly about riding as a team. Each team member must compete to their best ability so that collectively the team has high scores,” Robbins said. “Each rider receives scores for their rail work and scores for their pattern. In order to win the gold medal, each rider needs to get high scores on both.” Two days before the competition started, the team was able to draw their horses and practice with them the next day. Although, that didn’t necessarily mean they rode that specific horse. The coaches evaluated the practice and picked which horse best fit each

rider. “I am grateful for all of the exceptional teaching and coaching that I have received throughout the process and appreciate the rider that it has helped me to become,” Robbins said. “One of the unique lessons I learned was how to turn a mainly individual sport into a team sport, but most of all, I made lifelong friendships which mean the world to me.”

Secret Shop returns to CHS

By Amanda Foust • news@currentincarmel.com

Waiting in line, hustling through crowds and juggling packages in busy shopping centers can often distract from the education joyful spirit of giving during the holiday season. Carmel High School’s marketing students can help lighten the load for young shoppers at the Holiday Secret Shop – a safe and hassle-free experience for kids ages 3 to 11 to buy affordable gifts for their loved ones. “All the kids look forward to it every year,” said Laura Cardamon, business teacher and sponsor of DECA, a student-run business club. “There are kids in my class who came when they were little.” CHS’s DECA club assigns student committees to prepare for the Holiday Secret Shop. Customer service and promotional skills are practiced through the store’s development. Students choose vendors, purchase products and promote the classroom store to the Carmel community. “I found it an invaluable experience given my desire to major in marketing in college,” said senior promotions committee manager Callie Branson said. Holiday Secret Shop is open specific times

during the day for preschool and daycare visits. “We have all the marketing students a part of it,” Cardamon said. “They greet the kids, take the students to the shop, keep them on budget, help them pay and then wrap.” The Carmel tradition has been around for more than 30 years and is still going strong. “It’s a big tradition at CHS,” Cardamon said, “We are happy to do all the work and put it on for the community.” In the shop, children will find stuffed animals, tools, mugs, candles and many more affordable gifts. Prices range from $1 to $10. “They get personalized presents for a value price,” Branson said. “The gifts are wrapped at the store, so that is one less hassle for parents and ensures they are truly surprised.” The tradition raises support for the DECA club’s expense to compete in state and national competitions. The club prepares students who plan to be entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management. The shop is a learning experience for the students and a fun experience for families. The seasonal shop is open to the public from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. through Dec. 4 and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 5 in room F107 at Carmel High School, 520 E. Main St.

By Sam Elliott • news@currentincarmel.com

Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development hosted its first Neighborhoods NOW conference last month at the hamiLton co. Forum Conference Center in Fishers. The event brought together area experts speaking throughout the day on issues revolving around general affordability, growth and jobs, baby boomers and senior housing needs and neighborhood development across Hamilton County. Residents and local leaders, as well as nonprofits, developers, real estate professionals and local legislators and policy makers were on hand to discuss the best practices of community development for Indianapolis’ metropolitan areas moving forward. “It’s been a blast,” Nate Lichti, HAND executive director, said. “The turnout is fantastic. We’ve got over 100 people here from every community and every cross-section of private business, public employees, elected officials. There’s been a lot of affordable housing support, for meeting seniors’ needs or issues like jobs.” Attendees chose from a variety of breakout sessions and workshops that discussed fair housing, transit, housing and healthcare,

Donut 5K returns to Carmel

MICHAEL BOLTON GREATEST HITS WITH HOLIDAY FAVORITES SUN., DECEMBER 6 AT 7PM THE PALLADIUM

HOLIDAY SHOW

This holiday season, runners and joggers in Carmel can come back for another helping of the popular Donut 5K race. The event will be held at 9 running a.m. Dec. 19 in Central Park in Carmel. Participants can register at www.carmelroadracinggroup.com for $30 for ages 13 and older and $15 for ages 6 to 12. The event is free for ages 5 and younger. This is the ninth running of the holiday 5K but the second year with the donut theme. Last year, race organizer Todd Oliver rebranded the race with a sponsorship from Jack’s Donuts that includes hot chocolate and donuts at the finish line. As a result, he saw a 40 percent spike in participation up to around 1,000 registered runners. He’s already ahead of pace for 2015 and expects around 1,200 people this year. Although there’s a fun theme, Oliver said it’s still a serious race with cash purses for the top three finishers: $200 for first place, $100 for second and $50 for third. He said casual runners will enjoy dressing up in Santa hats and Christmas clothes and warming up with

sweet treats at the end. “Serious runners will run all year round,” Oliver said. “But we like to do the fun stuff because it’s closer to the holidays. It’s helping some people get some physical activity and exercise during a time of year when many might be doing a lot of eating and staying indoors.” The first thousand registered will receive a free German-made knit hat and the first 500 will receive a Santa hat and beard to wear. All paid participants receive a T-shirt. Mimosas will be available at the finish line and there’s a Fat Tire Beer “recovery room” for adults. The DJ for the Indiana Pacers will play music as runners compete. For 2015, Oliver also added some pet-related prizes since dogs can run with their owners, such as an award for the fastest dog and best dressed mutt. Last year, between 50 to 70 dogs ran with participants. Attendees are encouraged to bring dog and cat food, blankets and toys to donate to the Humane Society for Hamilton County, German Shepherd Rescue and Indianapolis Animal Care & Control. There’s also a silent auction including pet baskets.

Donor to match funds raised at St. Luke’s Christmas concert By Renee Larr • news@currentincarmel.com

For those wanting to get into the holiday spirit and help the community at the same time, St. Luke’s United fundraiser Methodist Church will hold two free concerts with donations benefiting Crooked Creek Food Pantry in Indianapolis. The performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 4 and 4 p.m. Dec. 5. The theme for this year’s concert is Night of Wonder - Dawn of Grace. “The concert every year is designed as a gift to the community. Our music department works itself ragged to present a glorious musical opportunity,” said Patricia Case, St. Luke’s director of marketing and communications. “There is an orchestra, a chancel choir, a number of ensembles and this time we have a number of guests who will be part of the group presenting – North Central High School’s Counterpoints,The Circle City Ringers and Praise in Motion.” For the last two years the concert has benefited Crooked Creek Food Pantry. Last year the concerts raised more than $12,000 to

assist those in need. “This year they have decided to benefit (the food pantry) again, and a donor has come up with a $15,000 gift, which will be matched by the donations received at the concert. Every penny of that offering goes to the food pantry,” Case said. “It’s really a gift in more than one way. It’s a gift to the community as far as the musical performance, but it’s also a gift to the people who use the food pantry.” The concerts are held in a candlelight setting in the sanctuary of the church.

He found he never wanted to leave. cover story Pedde, a 34-year-old Carmel resident, is the assistant artistic director for the ICC. One part of that job is directing the Carmel Children’s Choir. Pedde will take over as the artistic director of ICC when founder Henry Leck retires. Following the 30th anniversary concert on April 30 2016, Leck will hand over the baton to Pedde. “He’s been my mentor for 15 years, but over those years he’s become a very good friend,” Pedde said. “He’s meant a lot

to me. Originally I thought I’d be a high school choir director. Henry invited me to work with the Children’s Choir, and it was really neat to see how musical these young people can be and how much they learn. This is the basis for loving music for the rest of their lives. It’s quite amazing seeing how these kids progress if they stay with it for five or six years.” Pedde, who was named as Leck’s eventual successor four years ago, plans to keep the rhythm going for ICC. “I want to make sure we continue to serve the community as best as we can and make sure we give singers an opportunity and a place to come and feel like they belong,” Pedde said. “We use music as the tool to teach so many other things. It’s about teamwork and community, building something you can’t do on your own and discipline. We just happen to do it through music. “Other people can do it through basketball, hockey or whatnot. This just happens to be our vehicle of helping to make better citizens. Really that’s what I’m more concerned about, building good people for the next generation who are going to end up taking care of me.” Pedde, who has traveled with choirs in Europe, instructs the

Dems go after ‘4 more years’

Some thoughts while still in recovery mode from overdoses of turkey and football: • A reader writes: “Are you going to summarize/critique the Democrat debates as you did with the Republicans? Probably not. Current is not the publication to help an electorate make an unbiased informed decision.” Actually, we lost track of the first Democrat debate after it was decided that everything sounded like “four more years of Obama.” The rhetoric on that side of the aisle is as troubling as that of the Republicans. Third party, please? • The wailing and gnashing of teeth you hear is that of the GOP leadership, which also has to be shaking in its collective boots, what with Donald Trump (R-Billions) a clear favorite in New Hampshire. Trump, who is so far ahead at this writing, even draws support from lower-income white Democrats and liberal independents, all of which seem to have been reeled in by his pointed remarks on trade and immigration. • Just to our east, over in Piketon, Ohio, there is a soon-to-be-shuttered uranium enrichment plant. Anxiety is heightening around the globe, and the Iran nuclear agreement allows for 6,000 uraniumenrichment centrifuges, but the Obama administration is cutting off weapons capabilities? U.S. Rep Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) agree wholeheartedly that the move is a threat to our national security - to speak nothing of the ability to fuel our aircraft carriers and submarines. The Department of Energy needs to be thoroughly evaluated, and the leadership needs to be swept out.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Leading the way

Commentary by Terry Anker

Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi was once quoted as saying, “There goes my people. I must follow them, for I am their leader.” Does he have it right? Can we lead from behind? Many, perhaps even most, believe that leaders, elected and otherwise, should be out-in-front showing us, the unwashed plebian masses the road to enlightenment and redemption. In the 1970s film, “The Poseidon Adventure,” a decaying cruise ship taking its final voyage, before being sent to the scrapyards, is hit by a rogue wave and capsized. As the surviving passengers scramble to find their way to the bottom of the boat (which is now the top), they cleave into two separate groups – one led by a cop portrayed by Ernest Borgnine and the other led by a Reverend in the form of Gene Hackman. Along the way, there is much drama, explosion and crisis. But the patterns of leadership are clearly cut. At one critical juncture, the aging Hollywood actress Shelly Winters, as Belle

Rosen, a one-time Olympian, decides to dive in and swim through the oily and jagged debris inside the sinking ship to rescue another member of their group. Her husband Manny knew she would not likely survive the attempt and begged her not. Each showed leadership: one passively, others by getting out front and taking charge, and finally, another through extreme personal sacrifice. So which has a lock on the best way to lead? Is it possible they are they all right? Can someone be Gandhi in one circumstance and then drag his fellow passengers through a fiery, watery abyss the next? Do “the people” lead the leaders or do the leaders lead the people? Perhaps, it is the intention of the leader and the need of the people that should lead the way.

Q U OTE OF THE WEE K The best thing about tomorrow is that it comes one day at a time.

– Abraham Lincoln

I received an interesting email yesterday from a reader who doesn’t want to read my work but feels compelled to humor do so every week. (Apparently, I’m a sucky writer, and he likes to check for any improvement.) He stated my columns resemble a sixth-grader’s diary entries and asked why my editors categorize “such drivel” as “commentary.” So here is my bi-annual disclosure column. Enjoy! Or don’t. Whatevs. Let’s address the issues in reverse order, shall we? First up, my classification. Because I generally “comment” on my daughters’ inherent desires to see me on blood pressure meds, my columns are labeled “commentary.” Even when I discuss the obscene amount of time I spend driving the same 10 miles back and forth to dance, tae kwon do and color guard, I’m technically still “commenting.” I rarely address politics, religion or world affairs because I can only focus on so many things at once, and keeping my children alive and off Xbox demands my full attention these days. It’s called a commentary on life, sir. Deal with it. As for the diary-like style I typically employ, I fail to see the problem. The best way to communicate with people is face to face, through something called “talking,” and since I can’t actually meet with my millions (sorry, millions minus one) of fans in person, I find that writing like I speak is the next best thing. In actuality, my weekly column is a journal entry. But instead of “Dear Diary,” it’s “Dear Fellow Suburban Hunting Widow” or, in this case, “Dear Grumpy Reader!” This leads me to the last concern, the accusation that my work isn’t quite up to Pulitzer standards. Fair enough. I have no degree in journalism or in creative writing, and as stated above, I write like I speak, grammar and spelling be damned. What you call drivel though, I call “relatability.” It’s why most Hoosiers like me. I’m not here to change the world, just to relay observations on surviving middle age and defending against teenage body odor. That was fun! Let’s do it again in June. Peace out.

Editor, As consumers, most of us are three to four generations removed from the farm with degrees in, arts, business, law, communications, education, etc. These are great degrees, but they provide no knowledge of food production. As a result, most consumers are vulnerable to misguided perspectives on food production in marketing campaigns such as Chipotle’s. “Now it’s no secret that Chipotle is no friend to America’s famers. They have repeatedly thrown farmers under the bus.” These are the words of Wanda Patsche, a family pork producer from Minnesota (mnfarmliving.com/ about-me). Wanda is a great example of what American farming is all about. Wanda is a mom - a consumer just like you, but also has a passion for producing high quality food for others. Farmers like Wanda care deeply about their animals and the environment. And they use production methods consistent with this commitment. They employ the highest stan-

dards because they are also consumers of the products they produce! Without the highest possible standards, they would go out of business. This is the norm, not the exception. As consumers, we are easily enticed by romanticized marketing campaigns, which project high integrity and morals, with promises to bring us food produced by “higher standards.” We, as consumers, have no reference point for claims such as these, and we rely on our perceived integrity of the company making the claims. Currently Chipotle’s integrity is being called into question. They face a lawsuit over false claims regarding biotechnology products and Chipotle’s romanticized healthy claims image. How do we know what to believe about today’s food production? Indiana residents have a unique opportunity to learn what food production is really like by visiting Fair Oaks Farms (fofarms.com/about-us). It is worth the trip! Don Hecht, Carmel

Enjoying a little Guinness Commentary by Dick Wolfsie What’s the longest known chest hair? The heaviest pumpkin on record? Or the longest time a person ever whistled? humor See a list of these superlatives by reading the newest edition of the Guinness World Records Book. I skimmed the entire 250 pages in three minutes, 6.8 seconds, which I am told gets me in the next edition. Here are some actual categories along with a few snide asides by me… The unluckiest man in the world is Ray Sullivan, who survived seven separate lightning strikes. Ray says he won’t buy a lottery ticket because he doesn’t like his chances. Ben Pridmore of the UK memorized 884 playing cards in a row. He actually set the record two years ago but wasn’t in last year’s edition because he forgot to mail in his entry fee. Roger Squires of England has compiled nearly 80,000 crossword puzzles in 50 years. Asked why he developed this passion, Squires said, “Not a clue.” Devandra Suthar of India has 14 fingers, evenly divided between his right and left hands. Devandra is a carpenter by trade, but

he must not be very good at it because he used to have 16 fingers. The oldest divorce in history was between two people in England, both over 90 years old. Said the unhappy couple, “We were waiting for the kids to die.” The heaviest thing ever pulled by a woman in high heels? Lia Grimanis of Canada lugged a 14,000-pound truck across a football field. Second place goes to Rosie Frobisher of Peoria who hauled her fat, drunk husband out of a Hooters restaurant. The oldest living parrot is Cookie, who is 80 years old and lives at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. She’s very sensitive about her age, and when asked about it, she says she’s not talking. The shortest bull in the world is named Chegs and he lives in Ramona, Calif. The longest bull in the world was a 40-minute speech that Donald Trump gave in Des Moines, Iowa.

Current in Carmel

Planning your holiday dinner? Cooking up a festive feast? Visit the Expert Butchers in our Fresh Meat Department for cuts both traditional and exceptional — entrées that rise to the call of the heralded holiday meal.

Pork Crown Roast — A Celebratory Center Plate Pick

Regal. This is the word that immediately comes to mind when one brings a crown roast to the holiday table. It’s all about presentation and that’s where our Butchers come in. A crown roast is formed when two racks of pork ribs are joined in a circle with kitchen twine. Then, the bones are artistically French cut and cracked so they can be bent into a crown shape. It can be a royal pain, but is a cinch for our artisan Butchers. Simply call and place your order 24 hours in advance. We guarantee that your holiday dinner will reign supreme!

More Excellent Holiday Entrées from Our Expert Butchers

• Certified Angus Beef ® Standing Rib Roast — Top-quality, juicy, tender in Prime or Choice cuts with exceptional marbling — flavor that distinguishes the holiday meal. • Market District Authentic Semi-Boneless Ham — Fresh, whole-muscle ham that is never frozen, with no water or “padding” added to increase weight. Our hams are then smoked with fresh-cut, natural sugar maple hardwood chips — no smoke flavor substitutes — for an authentic, traditional, pure ham flavor. • Nature’s Basket Turkey — Tender, juicy and all natural — a beautiful bird for family and friends alike, containing nothing artificial and no added hormones. • Rack of Lamb — Also known as carré d’agneau, this lamb is cut perpendicularly to the spine, including 16 ribs or chops. As beautiful as it is delicious. • Pork or Beef Tenderloins — Like the name suggests, these are extremely tender cuts of meat that make the holiday meal truly special. So juicy, so flavorful, so what you want when the meal is to be magic!

The Holidays — All They’re Baked Up to Be

When it comes to holiday treats, our Bakers are rolling up their sleeves and rolling out the best! From our signature, all-butter cookies to our classic holiday specialties (think yule logs and eggnog cake and gingerbread!).

The second time around as Sugar Plum Fairy will be even sweeter for Olivia Behrmann in the Indiana Ballet ConChristmas servatory’s production of “The Nutcracker.” The thing that makes it more special is this time she gets to dance with Lasha Khozashvili, an acclaimed dancer with the Boston Ballet. “I’m excited,” said Behrmann, who said she should get three or four days before the shows to prepare with Khozashvili. The IBC will have six performances from Dec. 10-13 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Behrmann, a 17-year-old from Indianapolis, who takes high school classes online so she has time for her ballet, said she should benefit from her return role as Sugar Plum Fairy. “Now I know what to expect,” said Behrman, who danced with a fellow IBC student last year. “I can watch my performance and know what I should fix or work on.” Khozashvili will be dancing in the role of the Prince, alongside three IBC Professional Training Program students in the dual role of Princess Masha and the Sugar Plum Fairy. Along with Behrmann, Julia Rust and Rachel Schultz will play the dual role and dance with Khozaskvili. IBC founding artistic director Aloyona Yakovleva-Randall said it’s a great opportunity for Behrmann and other girls to dance with Khozaskvili. “She is going to dance with one of the most talented male dancers in the world, according to Dance Magazine,” Yakovelva-Randall said. “He’s the principal dancer with Boston Ballet.

IBC contemporary choreographer and instructor Sergey Sergiev as Herr Drosselmeier and Connor Hamilton as Masha dance in “The Nutcracker” in 2014.

To get that experience with a dancer like that, it’s another level of education.” This will be Khozashvili’s fifth appearance in IBC’s sixth annual production of “The Nutcracker.” “He really enjoys this production,” Yakovleva-Randall said. “He trusts us.” Last year was the first time Khozashvili danced with one of the IBC students. “Before he danced with a professional guest dancer,” Yakovleva-Randall said. Yakovleva-Randall based this on the 1934 choreography of Vasily Vainonen. Yakovleva-Randall said this is the closest to the original version that debuted in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1892. “They (cast members) love it. It’s very

sweet,” Yakovleva-Randall said. “It’s about a girl who has a really good heart. She opens her heart to a little, ugly Nutcracker doll because no one wants to play with it but her. Because of her kindness, the Nutcracker becomes a handsome prince. He invites her to his world where everything is sweet and where all children’s dreams come true. It’s a story of being kind to each other. It’s because of who you are miracles are going to happen. It’s a great tradition of Christmas. “I love to see the progression to see the evolution of the students in the roles (through the years). They develop as professional dancers.” Wilmara Manuel, IBC interim executive direc-

Speace, Decembersongs set for Warehouse Dec. 11 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Amy Speace will perform with the Decembersongs Dec. 11 at The Warehouse in Carmel. (Submitted photo)

Amy Speace understands her good fortune. Legendary singer/songwriter Judy Collins signed Speace to her record label, Wildflower Records, in 2006. music “She’s been a mentor and a friend, and as a young folk singer trying to figure out if anyone would listen to me, to be signed to a recording contract by a luminary like Judy Collins is like being tapped by the Fairy Godmother,” Speace said. “It changed my life.” Speace, who was born in Baltimore, will perform in Decembersongs with singer/songwriter Rod Picott and Wild Ponies, featuring the husband/wife duo of Doug and Telisha Williams, at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 11 at The Warehouse, 254 1st Avenue SW, Carmel. “We perform original holiday songs, reworked favorites, some parodies and we also mix in our non-holiday songs as well,” Speace said. “It’s a bit like a Bob Hope Holiday Review if Bob Hope lived in East Nashville and played Americana music.” Decembersongs has been the same lineup for the last three years. “We all travel in the same van and share hotel rooms, and yes we remain friends by

the end of the tour,” Speace said. Speace said the Warehouse is the perfect spot for Decembersongs. “For this kind of show, a festival or a bar wouldn’t be appropriate,” Speace said. “We are songwriters so we need a room where people are there to listen and to enjoy music primarily, rather than a place where they’ve come to drink shots of tequila and flirt with bartenders and there’s a musician in the corner that they can ignore or shout ‘Play another Train song’ to. That’s nobody’s idea of a good holiday show. The Warehouse is a place that supports songwriters. It’s a great listening room with great sound — perfect for us.” Speace released “Songs for Bright Street” in 2006 and “The Killer in Me” albums in 2009 on Collins’ label. Collins invited Speace to join her onstage for concerts around the country, to record her song “Born To The Breed” for a 2010 tribute record to her that also featured Joan Baez, Shawn Colvin, Rufus Wainwright and Jimmy Webb. On Collins’ album “Paradise” she sang Speace’s song “The Weight of the World.” For Decembersongs tickets, visit liveforthemusic.com. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the show.

‘Mary Poppins’ on stage Dec. 11 in d

When it comes to the musical “Mary Poppins,” it’s all about capturing the “magic.” “The real beauty in this theater magical show lies in P.L. Travers’ original writing,” said Anne Beck, director of the musical that opens at the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre on Dec. 11. “It is finding that you realize you are suddenly in a fantastical place, but the line at which you crossed reality is very fine. You are suddenly in the midst of magic and fantasy, but it is so seamless you didn’t know until you were already in it. “Her books are written that way, so transferring that quality is truly magical on the live stage.” A whimsical English nanny for the George Banks family, Mary Poppins is the lead character in a series of eight children’s books written by Travers and published over the period of 1934 to 1988. The books were adapted by Walt Disney in 1964 into a musical film titled “Mary Poppins,” starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. Renown producer Cameron Mackintosh (“Cats,” “Les Miserables,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “Miss Saigon”) acquired the stage rights from

Southwestern chili con carne Commentary by Ceci Martinez

HANDEL’S MESSIAH

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, 7:30PM WITH THE INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONIC CHOIR The greatest story ever told. The most majestic music ever conceived. This is the Messiah of the season, performed by your Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra along with the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir. It is music’s most powerful message of faith.

Every year my boy’s elementary school in California hosted a carnival with rides, talent shows, and among other things a famous chili contest. For three consecutive years, the same family took home the trophy for the “Tastiest Ever” chili! The recipe was classified as “TOP SECRET.” My mission became to recreate this tasty meal as close as the winning family’s! Over the years I’ve tried many different recipes and variations. My toughest critiques, my boys and husband officially awarded a medal to this dish! Note: Serve warm chili with plain rice with a spoon of sour cream or pile it on tortilla chips and sprinkle with shredded cheese or with cornbread. Prep/cook time: about 45 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 green bell pepper, large diced, 1 red bell pepper, large diced, 1/2 red onion, large diced, 2 cloves of garlic, minced, 2 1/2 pounds ground chuck, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 3 tablespoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste, 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed (optional), 2 table-

spoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves Directions: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook onions until soft and translucent, add garlic, peppers until slightly tender. In the same pot, brown meat breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add spices, sugar and mix all well. Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste and beans, give it a good stir, put a lid on the pot and turn down the heat to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If sauce is drying out add a couple of tablespoons of water. Sauce should look thick, moist and juicy. Taste for seasoning. Turn off the heat and leave chili to stand for about 10 minutes before serving so flavors can blend. Ceci Martinez is a Zionsville resident who was born in New York and raised in Peru.

Time to write down your thoughts By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Mark Twain said, “Never put off till tomorrow what may be done the day after tomorrow just as well.” We say you’ll forget things the longer you procrastinate about writing them down. So after the last bratwurst is slathered in mustard and the last buffalo wing is enjoyed, it’s time for reflection on the season with its successes, failures and obvious places to make improvements. If you haven’t kept a notebook as the season went along, today is a good day to try to remember things from this season. Here is a simple check list: • What items of equipment do you need for next year? Remember tailgating/camping equipment goes on sale this time of year. • What equipment that you have needs repair or replacement? • What recipes were successful this year and what were not? • What was the worst tailgating experience this season, and what was the best? Why? • Be honest and ask yourself, “What internal promises have I made to myself this season?” Since you and your companions/family will be out shopping for Christmas and those needed tailgate items while they are on sale, you may want to prepare some old favorite Christmas treat recipes to enjoy on your shopping quest. If you like these treats you can make some more as gifts for times closer to Christmas Eve. Easy Fudge Recipe Ingredients: • 4 cups miniature marshmallows • 2/3 cup evaporated milk • 1/4 cup butter or margarine

“I am 70 years old. I have been taking medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Needless to say, I was worried if I could start an exercise program safely. John Karesh made it a nice, gradual transition and I am surprised what I can do now. I feel better now than when I was in my 50s.” -Janice H.

Easy fudge is an old Christmas-time treat that works for tailgates. (Submitted photo)

• 1 1/2 cup sugar • 1/4 tsp. salt • 12 oz. semisweet chocolate pieces • 1 tsp. vanilla extract • 1/2 cup chopped nuts Preparation: Combine marshmallows, milk, butter, sugar and salt in saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture comes to full boil. Boil five minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add chocolate pieces, beating until melted. Do not over beat, fold in vanilla and nuts, and pour into greased 9-inch square pan. Chill until firm. This will make 2 1/2 pounds. Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” and is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

I would argue that selecting your sink is one of the most important decisions you will make during home improvement your kitchen remodel. Aside from the purposefulness, your sink can offer a unique design element that you may not have considered. When deciding which sink to install, you must consider many factors. For instance, how many basins do you want? One large basin allows for prepping large quantities of food or soaking extra large pans. This option can make it difficult, however, to do several tasks at once. For example, it becomes tricky to wash hands and defrost frozen foods at the same time. If you love a large sink basin but want to be able to divide it when needed, consider purchasing a sink that offers accessories that turn one basin into two. Aside from the basin size, you must consider what shape and style you prefer. Farmhouse sinks are gaining popularity, mostly for their apron front that offers a vintage look. They are typically one large basin and are available in a wide variety of colors. However, consider the drawback of this type of sink. The distinct look that you like now you may be

Battle plan for sibling rivalry Commentary by Mary Ian McAteer, MD While sibling relationships can bring lifelong joy, parents of more than one child often encounter challenges. And because family relationships and families are unique, there are no hard and fast rules for dealing with discord among children. It’s generally helpful for parents to acknowledge that there will be times when siblings don’t get along. This is quite normal. There’s also likely to be continuing competition for limited resources, especially parents’ attention. This can be further complicated in blended families. On the upside, there are some universal strategies to make things easier: Recognize and honor each child’s personality. Children’s unique personalities make them who they are and while endearing, individual personalities can clash, upsetting the harmony between siblings. Troubleshooting this tension requires parents to be mindful of their children’s differences and resist using a one-size-fits-all approach to correct behaviors. Model desired behavior. Parents are always the leaders for modeling how to communicate. If they see parents treating others respectfully, there’s a greater chance they will choose to

solve disagreements in a similar manner. Set boundaries. Parents should establish firm ground rules for the family when arguments or disagreements arise. Taking turns during the discussion, no name calling and agreeing to take a break if someone becomes angry are guidelines that can help promote civility. Resist the urge to “solve” it. Children won’t learn how to settle disagreements independently without practice, and your home is the perfect training ground. Remember, it’s more valuable for children to learn how to resolve disagreements than it is for them to always arrive at equitable solutions. If both children agree to the terms, intervening to make things fair thwarts their progress. It’s possible for parents to turn moments of sibling rivalry into something positive. If challenges continue, consider talking with your pediatrician or family doctor. Mary Ian McAteer, M.D., specializes in pediatrics and is a guest columnist located at Riley Physicians Pediatrics – Meridian Crossing in Carmel. She can be reached by calling the office at 688.5220.

For the new Market District in Carmel, every corner has been thoughtfully designed with energy efficiency environment and sustainability in mind. Hanging from the ceiling are LED lights and reclaimed signs with conservation information. And, along the southern-most walls are non-ozone depleting refrigerators and reclaimed wood tables. Every space in the store has been equipped to reflect the company’s attention to conservation and preservation. Jim Griffith, executive store leader, said this is one of the reasons he loves coming to work every day. “It makes us feel very proud to work in an environment where we are focusing so much on conservation and just a commitment to being, what I consider, the best neighbor we possibly can be,” Griffith said. At the front entrance, a picture collage is hung from the wall, showcasing photos and names of local food vendors and farmers who provide goods to Market District. “We try to call out, in all of our departments, local, so where it comes from. Again, we talk about that 150-mile radius for our store,” Griffith said. Also, upon walking in, customers will notice bright, encompassing light fixtures hanging from the ceiling. According to Griffith, Carmel’s Market District is the only location to utilize all

LED lights. “This store is all LED lighting. So, in the cases, in the coolers, it’s really all about LED lighting for us,” Griffith said. Further, toward the back of the store, light is focused in from the ceiling through several skylights. Directly above these skylights, on the roof, are structures that could rightfully be from another planet, or perhaps another time. “There is this dome that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, and what it does is it’s a reflective structure that guides itself throughout the day to maximize the light that’s focused into the building,” David Wilson, senior leader of guest experience, said.

Sales remain a balancing act Commentary by Jim Litten Central Indiana’s real estate market remains a balancing act between available inventory and sale prices. real estate Sale prices rose 4.3 percent last month compared to October 2014, while active listings declined 7.6 percent. In addition, the nine-county region saw a 15.3 percent dip in pended home sales last month. However, home sales are still up 7 percent for the year. Mirroring Central Indiana’s trend of few homes on the market and higher sale prices, Hamilton County saw a 6 percent decline in inventory while the average year-to-date sale price for the county climbed 6.4 percent to $277,048. • In Carmel, the average year-to-date home sale price rose 0.9 percent compared to this time last year, increasing to $349,688. • Inventory moved at a slightly faster pace in Carmel in October 2015. Overall, homes

sold in 63 days – four fewer days than this time last year. • Buyers in Carmel had slightly fewer options available to them. Last month, 528 homes were available for sale – nine fewer homes compared to October 2014. • Pended home sales have slipped in Carmel. In October 2015, 94 homes sold – a decline of 26 homes compared to October 2014. • Of the pended home sales in Carmel last month, one was priced $1,000,000 or higher; 12 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 29 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 30 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 18 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and four were priced at $99,999 or less.

Wild Eggs to open in February

t these Check ou reduced prices!

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Wild Eggs is coming to Carmel. There also will be a Wild Eggs restaurant in Indianapolis. Construction new biz is set to begin at both sites within the next month. The Carmel restaurant, which will offer breakfast, lunch and brunch, is scheduled to open in February at 1438 W. Main St. The Indianapolis restaurant is set to open in March in the Pulliam Square Building, 310 N. Delaware St., the former site of The Indianapolis Star. The Indianapolis and Carmel restaurants are company-owned and are the first market outside of Louisville, according to Wild Eggs marketing manager Meredith Smith. “When choosing locations for Indianapolis, we were very selective on where we wanted to be,” said J. D. Rothberg, Wild Eggs founder and CEO. “We chose Carmel because of the prominent location and local demographics. We’ve had our eye on this particular site for about two years and wanted Carmel to be our first Indy location. We are excited to be a part of the community.” The Carmel location will seat between 120 and 140 customers, Smith said. The hours of operation will be 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Wild Eggs, which will offer breakfast, lunch and brunch, is set to open in February. The menu offers and array of items, including waffles topped with bananas. (Submitted photo)

Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Both Wild Eggs restaurants will have approximately 40 employees, half of which will be full time. Management positions are being filled at this time. Hiring of the restaurant staff will start in January. The first Wild Eggs opened in Louisville in 2007. Wild Eggs restaurants offer customblend coffee made exclusively for their restaurants. In addition, there is an espresso bar. Bloody Marys and mimosas are among the drinks offered at the cocktail bar. In addition to Kentucky, there are franchised Wild Eggs restaurants in Colorado and Tennessee.

CycleBar set to open in Carmel By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com CycleBar, a new indoor cycling studio in Carmel, bills itself as featuring a high-energy workout in a rock concert-like new biz atmosphere. CycleBar has riders of all ages and fitness levels placed in classes led by their instructors, who lead a 50-minute ride. The riders are in room with a state-ofthe-art sound and lighting system along with 50 bikes. The 3,200-square-foot CycleBar, 12967 N. Pennsylvania St., is set to open Dec. 10. The first 10 days the rides will be free with five classes per day. After that, customers can purchase ride packages or pay by ride. The standard price is $20 per class, but packages will make it cheaper, according to Abby Armstrong, marketing and sales manager for Carmel studio. Armstrong said there is a monitor to tell the customers how far they rode and how many calories have been burned, among other statistics. “It’s then emailed to you so you can track your performance, and you’re able to see any progress,” Armstrong said.

There are speciality shoes with clips available to use for free. There are free water bottles featuring cold and room temperature water. “Some people like to rehydrate differently,” Armstrong said. The bikes can be reserved for the class online. “There is an air filtration system that keeps the air clean so you’re not breathing in everyone’s air,” Armstrong said. “Everyone is huffing and puffing, and it could get really hot and really smelly in here fast.” For more, visit currentincarmel.com.

Not only does regular grooming keep up a pet’s level of cleanliness and appearance, it’s good for their health as well. By starting when your pet is 3 to 6 weeks old, you pets help them become accustomed to grooming as a natural part of pet life. By starting young, activities like beard grooming, ear cleaning and nail clipping are easily endured, and groomer and veterinarian visits are just a normal part of your pet’s life, not something that causes stress or negative behavior at the mention of a visit. The rule of thumb for professional grooming is at least every four to six weeks, but some breeds require it weekly or biweekly. It all depends on your pet, your preferences and your time availability for home brushing. Regular home brushing can help keep that swagger your pet loves. It’s one of our groomers’ No. 1 tips for pet parents. Brushing is beneficial in multiple ways: • Removes dead hair, dirt and dandruff

• Brings out natural oils in pets fur for a healthy sheen • Helps control matted hair from forming • Allows for check of abnormalities such as dry patches, fleas or ticks • Gets your pet accustomed to being handled and gentle tugs on their beards, ears and tails. By dedicating time at home for brushing, and taking advantage of a professional groomer, you can help your pooch stand a little taller and feel better. Seeking out a full-service groomer that provides a full gamut of services, from nail trims, baths and haircuts to paw treatments, scrubs and everything in between has numerous benefits for your pet. We like to say, “It helps pets get their swagger on!” Hal Bond is president of The Range Pet Lodge offering grooming as well as boarding, day care and a wellness clinic.

Jerusalem’s Holy Wall

Home Security System...

Commentary by Don Knebel A section of a 2,000-year-old wall is the world’s holiest place for many Jews. In 19 B.C., Judea’s King Herod travel began building a trapezoidalshaped retaining wall around the plateau on which Jerusalem’s Second Temple stood. Workers filled in the voids, creating a 37-acre paved platform. Herod expanded the temple located near the western wall of this “Temple Mount.” Each Yom Kippur, the High Priest entered the Temple’s Holy of Holies, experiencing the presence of God. In 70 A.D., during the First Jewish Revolt, Roman soldiers demolished Herod’s Temple. Rabbis advised Jews to shun the Temple Mount to avoid inadvertently encountering the area of the Holy of Holies, so they began praying at the “Western Wall” below. After the Second Jewish Revolt in 135, the Roman Empire banned Jews from Jerusalem. In about 325, Emperor Constantine allowed Jews to lament the loss of their Temple once each year at the Western Wall, which Christian residents disparagingly called the Jews’ “Wailing Wall.” In 1560, Ottoman Emperor Suleiman allowed Jews to pray at a section of the Western Wall near houses in the Moroccan Quarter.

In the 1948 war following Israel’s independence, Jordan captured East Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, and barred Jews from the Western Wall. In 1967, Israel gained control of East Jerusalem and razed the Moroccan Quarter, creating a plaza along a section of the Western Wall. A screen now divides the plaza so men and women can pray separately, many by inserting slips of paper between the wall’s massive blocks. How even God can resolve these conflicting claims is not clear. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com.
