Customers to shop through multi-course meal By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Shoppers will eat their way through a multi-course meal provided holidays by 10 downtown Fishers shops for the annual Progressive Holiday Shopping Experience from 4 to 8 p.m. Dec. 7. Zoa Hackman, owner of Dahlia’s, organizes the event, which is in its fourth year. Hackman “It is a free event and it is just like a progressive dinner,” Hackman said. “Every retail business participating serves a course of the meal. We have made up maps, and on there it lists each business participating and what course of the meal they’re serving.” Hackman briefly considered ending the tradition this year but received encouragement from customers during Small Business Saturday Nov. 25. “I think it’s great because you can come
out and eat, but it gives you a chance to check out shops you didn’t know were there,” Hackman said. “Even (on Small Business Saturday), not everybody knows what is in downtown Fishers. This is very walkable, and we try to keep it compact so people can get out and walk shop to shop and eat and take in everything that’s downtown and enjoy the holiday season.” Hackman said the event has grown each year. It began when Maple Street businesses suffered a loss of clientele due to construction. “We came up with the idea of progressive shopping where customers can come here to eat and shop and move on to the next place,” Hackman said. “It was to get traffic through the door.”

TOWER reduces recidivism rates By Heather Collins news@currentinfishers.com The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is helping reduce recidivism rates through a new program that connects county inmates with job training and employment opportunities. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Transitioning Opportunities for Work, Education and Reality Program recently held its first job fair. The jail partnered with WorkOne Center, an Indiana workforce development organization, to provide inmates who are within 180 days of being released from jail with opportunities to gain practical job training, coaching and opportunities for employment upon release. The five-week TOWER program covers practical career skills such as resume writing, completing an employment application, cognitive behavioral techniques, dressing for an interview and conducting an interview. After release, the graduates are connected with the WorkOne office, which is approximately 1 mile from the jail, for continued assistance. The program is fully funded by a federal grant of $427,337 from the U.S. Dept. of

Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The grant is a partnership between The Region 5 Workforce Board, WorkOne Central and the Hamilton County Jail. Jail Commander Capt. Jason Sloderbeck said many inmates have a feeling of hopelessness because of their criminal background and believe they can’t get a job because of it. “It gave them hope that showed that there are people willing to consider them and give them a chance,” Sloderbeck said.

Fishers Woman educates children during Nuclear Science Week
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Suzanne Jaworowski wants to educate people on all facets of nuclear energy. Her chief objective is clearcover story ing up misconceptions. Jaworowski, a Fishers resident, is the chief of staff and senior advisor at the Office of Nuclear Energy at the United States Dept. of Energy. She splits her time between Fishers and Washington, D.C. Compared to most Kim energy sources, nuclear is the safest, according to Jaworski. In her job, Jaworowski is tasked with “making nuclear cool again.” She wants to accomplish that through education and outreach programs. “In the most layman’s terms, I am on a mission to educate people about what nuclear energy really is,” Jaworowski said. The United States first developed nuclear energy technology in the 1940s and ‘50s, but for the past several decades, Jaworksi said, the nation has been reticent to expand nuclear power options. “Because of some unfortunate accidents, the United States decided to stop utilizing (the technology) and stop further developing it,” she said. “The rest of the world has continued and moved on ahead of us. It’s very difficult to build a power plant these days, and part of that is because people have a misconception about what nuclear really means.” Recently, Jaworowski toured schools near the East Coast during Nuclear Science Week. She focused her efforts on fifth- and sixth-grade students, who are starting higher levels of science classes. Jaworowski stresses how nuclear works on a basic level and encourages all students

to consider a future career in the nuclear science field. “Especially young women shy away from the idea of science and technology and they may not have ventured down that path,” Jaworowski said. “Society sometimes encourages women to think they may be better at math and languages rather than
things like nuclear technology, when reality is it’s a great field and (there are) a lot of jobs related to nuclear and you don’t have to be an engineer to do those jobs.” Seungjin Kim, professor at the School of Nuclear Engineering at Purdue University, met Jaworowski when she visited Purdue last summer. Kim applauds Jawarowski for
Uses for nuclear energy Suzanne Jawarowski, chief of staff and senior advisor at the Office of Nuclear Energy at the United States Dept. of Energy, wants to dispel nuclear energy myths, such as nuclear energy largely being used for weapons. She lists a variety of ways nuclear energy is used in everyday life. such as in medicine. Another application for nuclear energy is curing famine by eradicating the in-
sects which are killing livestock or crops, Jawarowski said. “There are rampant infestations of bugs, creating famine among villages,” Jawarowski said. “A team of technology experts disperse radiation to manage the bugs and infestations so the livestock or crops can flourish and continue to feed people.”
educating young students on nuclear energy and clearing up the misconceptions in his college courses. “The first impression leaves a lasting imprint throughout one’s life,” he said. “This is especially true when learning a new subject in school. As such, I find it very unfortunate that ‘mushroom clouds’ has left its lingering imprint to many of us as a signature of nuclear energy. It is even more troubling to see that even after more than 70 years, most of our children first learn about nuclear energy through a history class when learning about World War II instead of a science class. In fact, when I ask freshmen engineering students what comes to mind when they hear the word ’nuclear', the majority of the students respond with 'weapons.'” Jawarowski hasn’t visited any of the schools in Fishers, but she said she is eager to bring her educational outreach programs to more local areas. For more, visit energy.gov/ne/ office-nuclear-energy.
Top 3 misconceptionS about nuclear energy: 1. Spent fuel is unusable. According to Jaworowski, there is a path for managing spent fuel in a geological repository and into room storage. 2. Nuclear is unsafe. According to Jaworowski, nuclear is safer than any other fuel source, especially with the advance designs for small modular reactors and in the future, nuclear reactors will not have the ability to overheat. 3. Nuclear energy is mainly used as a weapon source. Other uses for nuclear energy are abundant, such as in MRIs and CAT scans.

Standing still
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker “Would you like fries with that?” The simple question may be a cliché for the underachieving. One supposes it becomes the mantra of every low-performing high school dropout. They are mired in a greasesoaked world of serving high-calorie, lownutrition-value foods to an endless line of bloated consumers. Yet, in a time when more Americans are failing to ever take a first job, does the criticism hold up? The federal government has asserted that as many as 30 percent of all able-bodied citizens could become permanently unemployed. They lack the access and skill to earn sufficient income to support themselves or their progeny. Thus, the argument goes, we must brace ourselves to provision these folks for the entirety of their lives. Perhaps. At the same time, local businesses routinely fail to fill positions. Employers complain that openings go unoccupied as applicants decide to stay home rather than take entry-level jobs. But, how can someone become the supervisor who himself is unfamiliar with the nature of day-to-day work? Does taking a lesser opportunity give us necessary access, under the weight of our own effort and merit, to the next level? Lao Tzu, sixth century, B.C., Chinese philosopher, generally considered as founder of Taoism, is attributed with saying, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” In offering fries, is the server unlocking access to new skills – facility, timing, temperance and management – even as she earns a bit? Without a first step, are we standing still? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Fishers Winter Farmers’ Market
When Cyndie Baker was searching for a new hobby, Farmers Market she had no idea it would turn into a business venture. Baker tried handmade soap for the first time in 2007, and shortly after trying it, she was hooked. Not only did she immediately switch from store-bought to handmade products, but she tried the art of creating soaps from her home. Our Garden Soap was created in 2007 out of Baker’s love for fresh, safe ingredients and a desire to find a product that helped soothe her daughter’s eczema. Baker noticed when her daughter was using handmade soaps, her eczema became less aggravated. Handmade soaps are filled with vegetable oils and butters, rich in antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients – all of which are essential to having healthy skin while also being delicate on sensitive skin. As her passion for handmade soaps grew, so did her connections. After beginning to make her own soaps as a hobby, Baker connected with a local shopmaker to share the art of making soap and begin growing her business. Today, she brings more than 10 years of soap-making experience to the Fishers

Winter Farmers Market. Our Garden Soap has a variety of scents and colors, available during the summer and winter farmers markets. Scents change with the seasons, and so do recipes. During winter months, a whipped shea butter helps fight dry skin, so prominent during winter months. Beyond hand soaps, Baker also offers a variety of other cleansing products, including sugar scrubs and facial masks/scrubs. What started as a hobby has now transformed into a vibrant business offering fresh products for shoppers. Visit with Our Garden Soap every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon through March 10 at the Winter Farmers Market at Roy G. Holland Memorial Park, 1 Park Dr.
Doo and I survived Thanksgiving! Thirtythree people, 11 bottles of wine, five tons of mashed potatoes and two humor turkeys came together for an afternoon of family, feasting and competitive charades. At. Our. House. My two-part strategy was simple. First, have everyone bring a dish so that I only had to provide one of the turkeys and my specialty, canned cranberry sauce. I nearly botched the main attraction because I got caught up in four episodes of “Parks and Rec” and completely forgot to put our bird in the oven. Luckily, my 4 p.m. dinner plan was too early for most, anyway, so the hour delay worked out well. More wine for everyone! Second, shove all children and teenagers into the basement for the entire evening. Our main floor is wide open with only one sitting area, and sound reverberates like shotgun blasts in an operating room. There was no way I could handle 20 kids “up in my grill” while trying to orchestrate the perfect Thanksgiving meal. As expected, Ping Pong and Xbox entertained the boys for most of the night, and the door kept the noise to a minimum. But in a surprise development, my daughters lured the girls upstairs for magical makeovers. I can’t say I approved of the heavily lipsticked tartlets that went through the buffet line, but they were happy and quiet, so mission accomplished. Did I enjoy a relaxing time with parents, sisters, in-laws and nieces/nephews? No. The night was a blur of hostess-ing activity. I don’t even remember seeing one of my own sons. But when tears and drama are confined to charades, that’s a great Thanksgiving. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

Desperate house husband Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We were watching TV one evening last week when my wife asked, “Don’t you think it’s about time we moved?” humor “Sure,” I said. “I’ll stretch out on the floor with a pillow; you take the couch.” Apparently, that isn’t what she meant. After 30 years in our house, Mary Ellen thinks we should move into a condo, a place where owners don’t have to mow or water the lawn or shovel snow. My son will be disappointed if we move. He was making good money doing all that. My wife is certain we have many good years in front of us, but she doesn’t believe in having anything above us. Like rooms. Mary Ellen wants everything on one floor. I like going upstairs to go to bed. That’s my 12-step program from Exercisers Anonymous. If we buy a home on one level, that’s the end of my 30-second evening workout. Last week, despite my misgivings, we started looking for a new place to live. We have this great real estate agent who is the most effusive and energetic person I have ever met. The first condo we looked at, Brad got very emotional about the
baseboards that accented the tall walls and high ceilings, the 1-inch-thick granite countertops and the stamped concrete patio (whatever that is). He was quick to point out that there was an electrical outlet on the kitchen island where we could make frozen margaritas. And those slow-closing drawers and cabinets? He was ecstatic. Mary Ellen and I have totally different sets of criteria regarding the ideal house, so I took Brad aside and said, “Go into that cool realty app you have and see if you can find a four-bedroom home with a little alcove for an office, a finished basement and an exercise bike. Also, I’d love to have a private back deck with a view of secluded woods.” Brad called me the next day. “Dick, I found the ideal place for you. Looks like it’s not up for sale yet, but you can still make an offer … Wait a second, this is your address. This is where you live now!” “Great job, Brad. You are the best. You found the perfect house for me.”

Open your trash bin to throw in a bag and you might be greeted with an “aromatic” scent. Trying to new biz clean it alone can be timeconsuming and leave a mess of its own. Now, two friends have teamed to provide a unique service, transforming trash bins from grimy to glowing. Bin Cleanse is an eco-friendly trash bin cleaning company serving Fishers and surrounding areas started by Dan Poore and Mike Mattingly. The service has been popular overseas but is now gaining popularity in the U.S. Although there are a few independent owners in places such as Florida, California and Texas, it’s taking hold in the Midwest. “After doing extensive research, we realized there was a great need for Bin Cleanse,” Poore said. “Many (homeowner associations) mandate residents keep their bins in their garage, and not only is the smell horrific, but they can harbor germs and attract rodents.” The company uses an automated truck similar to trash services that grabs the bins and lifts them up to be cleaned with high-pressure sprayers. “We use eco-friendly chemicals for our cleaning and 200 degree heated water to kill all the germs and disease inside the bins,” Mattingly said. “It captures all of the gray, dirty water that results from the bins being cleaned. We then dispose of the water at a designated treatment facility.” Customers can go online and choose how often they want their bins cleaned and note their trash pickup day. Typically, Bin Cleanse takes 2 to 3 minutes the first

time and 30 seconds to 1 minute each time thereafter. Response in the first few months Bin Cleanse has been up and running has been positive, Poore said. “We were a bit shy of 100 customers in our first month, and our reviews are excellent. People who take a second to think about our service see it as a no-brainer,” he said. “The time and energy they’ll use to clean their own bins while typically disposing of the water onto the street or yard compared to our service saves them money and time.” Bin Cleanse isn’t limited to household trash cans. It also can clean Dumpsters at restaurants, apartment complexes and other businesses. The duo’s goal for the business is to have 800 customers by the end of their first year and expand to 10 trucks and multiple HOA agreements by the end of their fifth year. Bin Cleanse is a disabled veteran-owned company and offers a 10 percent discount to police, fire and military (active and veterans). For more, visit bincleanse.com.

For the highest concentration, look for beans from Kenya, Ethiopia, Colombia and Brazil. Also, light and medium roasts preserve the most CGAs in the roasting process.

ADA to present ‘Littlest Angel’
By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com
No one has to remind Rebecca Jones about the intrinsic connection between holiday dance productions Theater and “The Nutcracker.” “I grew up in dance and I was a professional dancer and now I’m a dance teacher, and most dance people growing up think of Christmas and ‘The Nutcracker,’” Jones said. “I’m a person who had grown up doing ‘The Nutcracker’ several times.” Although still a fan of the classic Christmas ballet, Jones has played a central role the past five years in a dance show that has become her new holiday favorite. A dance teacher at the Academy of Dance Arts in Fishers, Jones is the director of that studio’s Dec. 16 production of “Littlest Angel” at Howard L. Schrott Center on the Butler University campus in Indianapolis. Shows times are at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Featuring a mix of ballet and modern dance, the performance has 31 ensemble dancers between the ages of 10 and high school teens, along with 41 supplemental dancers ranging from 5 to 10 years old. The two-hour production includes dancers from throughout Hamilton County and the Indianapolis-Geist area. “It has opportunities for all ages because it has a bunch of different types of (has) dance,” said Jones, an Indianapolis resident and former performer with Dance Kaleidoscope. “It has a bunch of different types of music. It’s not all slow. It’s fast and fun and different costumes. I think it has something for everyone to have some sort of fun.” Based on the classic children’s book “The Littlest Angel,” the ADA’s “Littlest Angel” tells the story of a homesick boy’s adjustment to being an angel in heaven and the gift he presents to the Christ child upon his birth. The show has been presented annually by ADA since 2013. A production was long proposed by the ADA’s original owner, Sue Van Voorhis, but it didn’t come together until Jones came on board to direct. “’Littlest Angel’ is her baby,” said Laurie Brady, a Noblesville resident who now owns the studio. “My mother, Sue Van Voo-

rhis, was the original owner of Academy of Dance Arts over 20 years ago. It was her idea many years ago to create a ballet to her favorite children’s book. Rebecca brought that vision to the stage.” Jones embraced the challenge from the beginning. “(Voorhis) read that story to her kids and had always wanted to do a ballet about it but never did,” Jones said. “And so we said, ‘Let’s do it. Let’s find a way to do it.’ So we did one year of just trying to get the first act done, compilate music and come up with choreography and figure out how this story could be played out through dance, and then the following year we did the second act so that we could do the full production. We’ve been doing it every year since.” This year’s production features Emily Crowder of Fishers in the role of the Littlest Angel. The other main dancers are Megan Albright (Westfield, Understanding

Angel), Maisie Richardson (Fishers, Fleet Messenger), Lillian Cox (Fishers, Star of Bethlehem) and Kristen Kiley (Fishers, God’s Announcer). With apologies to “The Nutcracker,” Jones regards “Littlest Angel” as the new holiday dance tradition for the ADA. “(‘The Nutrcacker’) is not really about Christmas. It just kind of takes place at Christmas,” Jones said. “And so I love the fact that this is a story that really relates to the fact of Christmas. What could the angels possibly be doing preparing for Christmas? It ends with the big Star of Bethlehem and the Nativity in the background and the angels prepared. That, to me, is more pointing people toward Christmas, and so I appreciate that part.” For more about ADA, visit adadancers. com. For tickets, visit butlerartscenter.org/ event/littlest-angel.

For Julia Bonnett, this will truly be a special opportunity. “There is music nothing quite like performing with a full, live orchestra,” Bonnett said. “It is truly magical to hear all the intricacies and nuances Bonnett involved in a piece of orchestral music. As a vocalist, the power and energy that comes from an orchestra is invigorating. I cannot wait to be on stage with the fantastic Carmel Symphony Orchestra musicians once again to share the holidays with the Carmel community.” Bonnett, the 2009 Great American Songbook Youth Ambassador, will join Lucas DeBard, the 2015 Songbook Ambassador, as vocalists for CSO’s IU Health Holidays two concerts at 3 and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 9. Bonnett, a 2009 Carmel High School graduate, performed with the CSO a few times in 2009 and 2010. This will be DeBard’s CSO debut. “I am incredibly excited to sing with such a great orchestra,” said DeBard, a Lebanon
High School graduate and Indiana University junior. “It isn’t every day that I get to sing with a full symphony orchestra, so as you can imagine I am itching to perform with them.” Bonnett and DeBard will sing two duets. “I am thrilled to be working with Lucas on this project,” Bonnett said. “He is a fantastic musician and DeBard an enchanting performer. I don’t want to give away too much of the program, but I am thrilled to be performing one of my favorite holiday songs, ‘What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?’ While it is not as well-known as, ‘O Christmas Tree’ or ‘Deck the Halls,’ it has a beautiful melody, and I love the coyness of the lyrics.” DeBard will sing “The Christmas Song,” his favorite. In the last month, DeBard has been involved in a show with his a cappella group, Crimson Cadence, the chorus of “It’s a Wonderful Life” at IU Opera Theater and his cabaret show, “I’ll Take Romance,” in Indianapolis.

Show is personal to Huffman By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Kate Huffman has been working on a comedic view of her life for two years. Finally, the actress made a comedy deal with herself: If she could finish the show by her April birthday in 2016, she would reward herself with a trip to Ireland. That worked, and “I’m Too Fat for This Show” was completed. Huffman, who grew up in Indianapolis and graduated from Cathedral High School in 2001, is bringing her one-woman show Dec. 8 to 10 to IndyFringe, 719 E. St. Clair St. It’s just a mildly exaggerated version of her life, Huffman said. “It’s based on 20 years of eating disorders, OCD and body dysmorphia, chronic pain,” said Huffman, who has lived in Los Angeles for 13 years. “I started writing in 2014. How do I make sense of my life and make any meaning out of it?” Huffman said writing about it was more therapeutic than she expected. “I hated writing it,” Huffman said. “I would cry at my computer.

It’s so versatile and can be served with anything from burgers to pasta. A mediumbodied blend featuring Grenache, Carignan
& Syrah with berry flavor and some tannins. Serve room temp or with a chill. Delish. Twist top. $8.99 Gettin’ gifty with It These are bottles you give to friends and colleagues. I’d go with Stags’ Leap Petite Sirah, 2014. An elegant red wine that can be enjoyed now or age 20ish years, big blackberry and black raspberry flavors with baking spices and a lovely, long finish. Approximately $50. Happy holidays, to you! One of my all-time favorites is LaurentPerrier Cuvée Rosé. A stunning, deep salmon color. You’ll smell and taste huge amounts of berries. Strawberry, raspberry and cherry. Really feel fancy? There’s a website that will cover your bottle in mad amounts of glitter, any color. You’re worth the $80ish.

Blueprint for Improvement: Carmel kitchen expansion Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions
Before
Background Info: This home is in the Crooked Stick neighborhood of Carmel. Built in the 1980s, it needed several updates to bring the interior and exterior up to date.
The goal for the interior remodel was to give the home the modern update that it needed while making it a more practical space for the owner. 1. An open concept kitchen was created by expanding into the former sunroom and removing a wall that divided the kitchen from the dining room. 2. Another update that assisted in making the kitchen appear larger was raising the ceiling height by 1 foot and updating the lighting plan with both recessed and accent light fixtures. 3. All new cabinetry and countertops gave the kitchen a modern look. Custom features, like spice pullouts and shelf dividers, were incorporated into the new cabinetry to create more efficient storage. 4. Additionally, a second island was added to the former dining room for a casual dining space.
After
Before problems The main focus of the interior remodel was the kitchen, but three bathrooms also were updated. The existing kitchen was small and confined with minimal natural light. The space lacked efficient storage solutions, counter space and an overall functional layout.

Keep pineapples off pizza Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

You’d expect someone as cultured as yours truly to have a hardline stance in the negative toward a grammar guy phrase like “a-wholenother.” Today, I’d like to not just blow your mind in letting you know I wholeheartedly endorse it, but that I think it passes grammatical muster. I’m pro “a-whole-nother.” There, I said it. And I’m not over here trying to justify a-whole-nother as an example of grammatical tmesis or infixing (look it up), but as meta-analysis, false splitting or rebracketing. In its history of usage in the English language, the compound word another began as two distinct words: an other. Over time, these two words couldn’t get enough of each other and fused into another word entirely (and literally). It’s as if an and other enjoyed being next to each other so much they just decided to informally move in together. But does that make it OK? If another is a combination of an and other, why not write an-whole-nother? Since whole begins with a consonant, it takes the article a

and leaves nother to complete the phrase. Please don’t start calling me an a-whole. So why not just say another whole pizza? Well, saying a-whole-nother pizza implies you’re talking about a different pizza entirely: Once the Hawaiians put pineapple on top, we were dealing with a-wholenother pizza. If I instead said another whole, this would change the meaning to imply I was introducing an entire second pizza to the situation. So, the word whole here modifies two different things entirely; in the another whole pizza instance, whole serves as a modifier of the noun pizza. When discussing a-whole-nother pizza, whole modifies another, indicating a new type, or category, of pizza. Although I agree a-whole-nother looks ridiculous typed out, I can’t deny its accuracy in what I’m trying to communicate. And if you’re wondering what my opinions on other kinds of pizzas are, that’s a discussion for a-whole-nother column.

The Børsen in Copenhagen, Denmark. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Copenhagen’s magical spire Commentary by Don Knebel A magnificent exchange building is among the oldest structures in Copenhagen, Denmark. Legend attributes its longevity to a magical spire. travel By the 17th century, hundreds of Danish ships were transporting commercial goods throughout northern Europe. In 1618, Danish King Christian IV began building an exchange building named “Børsen” (“Exchange”) on reclaimed land supported on wooden pilings near the Copenhagen waterfront. When completed in 1640, the Dutch Renaissance-style Børsen signaled to the world that Denmark had become a major commercial power. The red brick building had wharfs along both sides, enabling merchant ships to dock and unload their goods near the building. The goods were exchanged inside the Børsen’s great hall, which included room for 50 trading stalls. A 140-foot-tall spire in the Børsen’s center is its most distinctive architectural element, featuring the entwined tails of four dragons and capped by a spear holding three golden crowns symbolizing the union of Denmark,
Norway and Sweden. That union fell apart shortly after the Børsen opened. In 1658, Sweden attacked Copenhagen and the successful Danish defenders used lead ripped from the Børsen’s roof for their bullets. Today, the roof is coated in copper. In the 18th century, King Christian VI built his royal palace adjacent to the Børsen. This first Christiansborg Palace was destroyed by fire in 1794. A second palace on the site was destroyed by fire in 1884. During both fires, the Børsen survived, a fact some attribute to the protection of the dragon spire. The third Christiansborg Palace, the seat of the Danish Parliament, has so far survived. The Børsen was used for trading stocks until 1974, when the stock exchange moved to a more suitable building. The Børsen is owned by the Danish Chamber of Commerce, which rents it for private meetings and conferences. It is not open to the public.
