Hamilton Southeastern foundation celebrates Giving Tuesday
By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com
With the past holiday influencing the idea of thankfulness during Thanksgiving, followed by two days to incentivize shopping for deals during fundraiser national and local retailer promotions, the idea of giving back may seem overdue. For the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation, celebrating Giving Tuesday on Dec. 1 to benefit the local school district made perfect sense. Giving Tuesday is an international day where businesses, families, individuals, charities, organizations and more celebrate the spirit of giving back through donations. According to givingtuesday.org, more than 30,000 partners in 68 countries participate in the annual tradition, including the HSSF. “At it’s heart, we have become a very commercial society and this time of year we certainly take a day to give thanks on Thanksgiving, then followed by Black Friday and Small Business Saturday and then Cyber Monday,” Executive Director of HSSF Freedom Kolb said. “This is a way to say, ‘Let’s restore what’s important to our community in a season of giving instead of a season of getting.’” This year will mark HSSF’s second year advocating Giving Tuesday locally with last year raising more than $20,000 in a single day for HSSF, an organization serving Hamilton Southeastern Schools by providing grants, student scholarships and other unique opportunities. “Really, Giving Tuesday is a global initiative, but up until last year you didn’t really see a lot of local effort,” Kolb said. “The whole concept behind it is to activate local communities to give locally. We thought there really is not a bigger cause that unites Fishers other than education because our schools are our second largest employer. (We enroll) 21,000 kids and we’re fourth largest (district) in the state.” Titled as #HSSFUnselfie for use with social media, this years campaign marks a unique experience as several donors have already come together to kick-
start the fundraising initiative by pledging $18,000 through HSSF’s Rise to the Challenge goal. That means for every dollar donated on Giving Tuesday, will be doubled to total of $18,000. “The goal with the Rise to the Challenge group was basically to extend the impact of whatever could be raised locally,” Sara Mills Henderson, an HSSF member and mother of two HSE students, said. “It’s sort of treated like a match. We’re trying to inspire people to match the $18,000 that we had already raised. We know we have at least $18,000 so we’re hoping to double it through additional donations through the community at large.” With typical school donations, donors can choose where their donations go, but with Giving Tuesday donations, the funds go directly to the foundation. “Typically if somebody gives a donation, a lot of those funds are directed exactly where they want them to go,” HSSF Board Member Susan Binford said. “These funds for Giving Tuesday allow us as a foundation to fund interesting, creative projects that we typically can’t do through our standard donations. That’s what’s really important about Giving Tuesday is those unrestricted funds that really fuel the creativity of the foundation.” The funds donated will be used for various programs that directly impact all Hamilton Southeastern schools such as scholarships. “The foundation is so good because everything that you give is staying local; staying in Fishers and having a positive impact on, really, the future on our community,” HSE School Board President John DeLucia said. “Big drivers of the foundation are innovative ideas, scholarships for students and then grants for teachers, and they do it very well. That’s what really helps make the school community so dynamic. You can’t always do that as an entire corporation.” The Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation will be accepting donations as part of the Rise to the Challenge campaign all day on Dec. 1.

The Coxhill Guild held a sold-out fundraiser for the Friends of the Hamilton Co. Parks Coxhill Gardens which included a tour, four-course dinner where guests tried to solve a murder and a chance to compete in England. Karin Glass, owner of Serenity Cafe and Tea Room in Zionsville, Sharon Terry, founder of the Coxhill Guild, and dedicated Coxhill Guild members organized a night full of murder, mayhem and moonshine … or shall I say a well-stocked “Wine Pull” that kept the dinner guests happy? I met new friends from all zip codes of Current including a few rowdy flapper girls from Fishers and Geist. These energetic flapper girls were part of a mom’s group and said it was their night to dress up and have a rockin’ GNO. Each table of eight had to solve a murder with a few sneaky clues and a cleverly crafted script. After dinner, the table as a group had to figure out who was the murderer. The table that came up with the correct person was then entered into a drawing that would send two lucky players (and a guest) to England to attend an official Murder Mystery Dinner in a pub.

Parsons helps clear out estates By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Many of us have had garage sales to get rid of old junk, but what about circumstances where you’re forced to enterprise get rid of items of significant value? Be it the death of a family member, a sudden move or divorce, selling the items in your home can be a strenuous task. Thankfully one man brought his business to Fishers to help alleviate this process. Lee Parsons, owner of family business Aether Estate Sales, saw an opportunity to utilize his background in antiquing to provide a service to those looking to sell the entire contents of their estate or property. “A garage sale is stuff that people want to get rid of usually because its cruddy, but in an estate sale, it’s stuff they need to get rid of for a reason,” Parsons explained. “They don’t want to get rid of it necessarily, but they have to. So it’s much better quality stuff. It’s everything in the entire house from small to large, cheap to expensive.” Growing up around antiques and collectibles, Parsons found a natural knack for understanding value in everyday items. “People think, ‘How can I possibly know

what everything in the entire world that’s manufactured is worth?’” Parsons said. “It’s kind of a giant headache to people, but growing up with antiques and collectibles. I’m much more in tune with what things are worth.” Parsons’ business deals with estates from “very old houses to almost new construction.” Items in the homes range from exotic cars to coffee cups, each being barcoded, marked and displayed throughout the estate turning it into almost a temporary store.

Historic Holiday Tour returns Dec. 5 By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Delving deeper into the Holiday season, Partnerships for Lawrence will be featuring its annual Holiday Tour at Fort event Harrison State Park Dec. 5. These perpetuators of the arts have been hosting the tour for four years now, but this year marks their first hosting of the tour since moving into a historic new location. “We champion the arts in the Lawrence community, and in October of this year we moved to Fort Benjamin Harrison to the Fort Theatre,” Partnerships for Lawrence Executive Director Judy Byron said. “We have just recently opened the Fort Theater, and the proceeds from this fundraiser are going to support that.” The tour will last from 4 to 7 p.m. and will allow guests to tour the historic Fort Benjamin Harrison homes. A shuttle will offer transportation around the homes, and each home will offer a little something special for the guests such as music or refreshments. “All of the stops will have live music,” Byron said. “We’ll have at least two piano players, a harp player. We also have a few local artists. Rettig Hill Winery will set up a tasting at homes. All of the homes will have cookies

or coffee or some little treat to give gifts to guests.” The homes, currently inhabited by residents, date back to the beginning of the 20th century. While they have been updated with standard appliances, the architecture still shows the traditional styles of older homes. “All of the stops have been really nicely renovated,” Byron said. “They all have been changed dramatically, but they’ve kept those charming characters from the turn of the century.” Tickets are $12 online and $15 at the event.

Artist featured at local butcher By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com At first consideration, one would not think to have an art gallery in a butcher shop, but that’s exactly what local artist event Jessica Green decided to do when looking to showcase her artwork. Debuting Dec. 5, Green will be displaying her collection of paintings at Moody’s of Geist, 10106 Brooks School Rd. “It’s very unconventional obviously to have an art show at a butcher shop, but I love the facial expressions when I tell people that,” Green said. “It’s really strange, and it’s also exciting.” Titled as Brushstrokes of Geist, Green will feature dozens of her contemporary impressionist oil paintings depicting scenes from around the Geist area. “They pitched the idea back in the summer, and I thought it was a great opportunity just for exposure,” she said. “I let it brew in my mind about the local (aspect) and having a specific theme for a collection of work, just Geist, and keeping it local. It’s a local business, local meat and then a local artist.” Compared to other art galleries, Green said hers will be much more laid back, a style that’s fitting to her character.

“Usually you think of art openings as being kind of upscale and elite,” Green said. “It’s going to have a retail feel. People might be coming in to buy bacon, but they can just grab (a painting) off the wall and take it to the cashier and take it home. I want my art to be approachable.” Green plans to offer various-sized paintings for sale to appeal to all buyers. The opening reception will be from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Fine meat preparations will be offered along with a raffle and charity auction. For more, visit jessicagreenartwork.com.

“Where’s Amy?” had a blast at the annual Holiday on the Square in Carmel. The first snow of the season did not stop Santa from stopping by to greet hundreds of excited kids. The crowd was treated to free goodies, hot cocoa, holiday music, dancing, elves, reindeer and of course the guests of honor, Santa and Mrs. Claus. Kids enjoyed building snowmen, making holiday crafts and the magic of seeing the Christmas tree light up on the Gazebo to kick off the holiday season. I had fun capturing the magic and thrill of the Carmel Community - “Where’s Amy?” ... ho ho hoping you have a safe and happy holiday with family and friends.
A living hope Commentary by Michael VandenBerg The church year is different than our calendar year. Within the Christian Church, Nov. 29 (four Sundays before Christreligion mas) marks the beginning of the new church year with the Season of Advent. Advent is a special time of the year when, with Christians around the world, we look forward to Jesus coming again. It is different than Christmas or the current celebration of Jesus, the Christ birth. Advent is the season of anticipation of Jesus’ promised coming again. It is the culmination of all of history into one dramatic moment that brings with it hope for the world. As surely as a lack of food and water will kill life, so does a lack of hope. Without hope, people despair and give up on life. Without true hope, people begin to lose the will to live and cease to thrive. God brought hope back into a broken and dying world through the gift of his son. This son brought hope by paying the price for our sinfulness, offering the solution to life’s brokenness and by showing the world that, even while we were imperfect and
defiant, God still loved us and has not given up on our world. Advent then celebrates the renewal of God’s promise that all who give their lives over to the Jesus cure for sin would not perish but have everlasting life. When I was growing up, I remember waiting and watching out the front window for my grandparents to arrive at Christmas. With each passing moment, my anticipation became even greater and almost unbearable. Then, while standing on tiptoes, I would see them arrive, and the excitement became uncontainable. For me, this is Advent. It is the standing on tiptoes, waiting in expectation for Jesus to arrive again and make everything once again come alive. If you are a follower of Christ, then enjoy the hope of this Advent. Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church, and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for over 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.

Geist resident finds career path through custombuilding her own home By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com

Some people spend their whole lives trying to find a suitable career path, but for Geist resident Natalie Zaun, she literally built the occupation she now cover story flourishes in. Zaun, a former English teacher and stay-at-home mom, recently discovered her potential to design homes as a customer looking to build her own custom home. “It’s kind of funny how this started,” Zaun said. “I used to be a junior high and high school teacher. Over the last few years my husband and I were deciding whether or not to buy an existing home or build a new home. He twisted my arm into building a home, which I’m grateful for now.” Throughout the several-month design, Natalie and her husband went through the typical process of creating a custom-built home. Their builder, Jeff Yancey of Cicero-based J.A. Yancey and Associates, was all too familiar in dealing with clients in custom-built real estate. “Every customer is heavily involved in the process, so there’s no option to have someone else do it for you,” Yancey said. “The biggest thing for me is, when a customer builds a house, it is a very stressful process.” While working with Zaun, Yancey realized she was different than most customers in her design approach. She had a natural knack for design. “Natalie’s function or fit of what she likes to do is her design flare and picking out things and making things work,” Yancey said. “Her role fit naturally. I would say that she has a good eye for design, colors, layouts and functionality.” “I’m particular about what I wanted,” Zaun said. “If we’re going to build a custom home, we’re going to do it exactly the way we wanted to do it. Some customers will look more specifically with an architect to help design plans, but this is something that I developed an interest for on my own and just had specific ideas about what I wanted.” Zaun moved in to her newly built home in August, but while building the home, Yancey and Zaun realized they might make a great

team. “We mutually started talking about, ‘Hey Jeff, I think you need my help,’ and he said, ‘Yeah, I think I may,’” Zaun said. “I think (custom-building) turns people off because it can be incredibly overwhelming, but if people can have an experience where I can kind of hold hands with somebody along the way, then I think it takes away some of that overwhelming feeling.” Zaun was then hired in April and began working with Yancey. To date, the duo have created two homes together with more in the works. “We have two homes that we are getting ready to start,” Zaun said. “One is on Morse Reservoir, and one is in the West 86th Street area. We have a pile of about four homes right now that we’re working with customers on the designs of their homes.” Since working with Zaun, Yancey said feedback has clearly shown her potential in his business such as freeing up time for him to focus directly on building. “With building a house, you have to weigh that time and that time is not always there to cuddle the customer,” Yancey said. “She is able to do that. She really lets me focus on building the home and she guides the customer through the whole process. Natalie came on halfway through (a) house and that particular customer wished she would have had someone like that through the start.” For Zaun, her newfound career has offered her a chance to expand her creativity through her customers. “I love it because I find it opens my mind up
to different ideas, which I think is fascinating,” she said. “It allows me to challenge myself to look at things the way a customer may look at it.” While Zaun says she may have never thought of pursuing a career in custom-home design, she admits it may have been a hobby she never had a chance to try. “Is it fair to say that home design was kind of a hobby? Perhaps,” Zaun said. “(I spent) countless hours (watching) Home and Gardens TV and Houzz. Sundays, me and my husband would visit model homes to get ideas just for fun. I’ve always had that interest in the back of my mind, so to be able take that interest and build a home and then make a career out of it is a pretty cool opportunity for me.”
All about Zaun Family: “I’ll be 43 in December and have been married to my husband, Brad, for 21 years. My daughter, Anna, is 13, and my son Matthew is 10.” Favorite hobby or pasttime: “I enjoy playing tennis, being active outdoors and spending time with my family and friends.” Favorite room or feature of house: “I have a few favorites but enjoy the uniqueness and functionality of the breezeway.” Favorite vacation spot: “Lake Michigan. We have been visiting the Saugatuck area for the last 24 years. I love the quaint town and freshwater beach.” Favorite aspect of the Geist area: “Having access to being on the reservoir is great. It’s the many great families that we have become friends with though that I enjoy the most about the area.”

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 O T E O F T HE W EE 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.

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.

IBC’s ‘The Nutcracker’ to feature Boston Ballet dancer
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
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 IBC students. “Before he danced with a professional guest dancer,” Yakovleva-Randall said. Yakovleva-Randall based this on 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-
Olivia Behrmann, performing as the Waltz Soloist in “The Nutcracker,” in 2014. Behrmann, a senior student at IBC, will be performing for the second time as the Sugar Plum Fairy this year alongside Lasha Khozashvili as the Prince. (Submitted photos)

The Holiday Entrée — A Celebration Unto Itself
Current in Geist
www.geistcurrent.com
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!

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.

Free fun at Harmony Winery By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com What better way to escape from those occasionally chilly fall days than relaxing with fine wine, good music entertainment and free hot food? Kevin Croak, who owns Fishers’ Harmony Winery, 7350 Village Square Lane, Suite 200, with his wife Tatyana, says he can’t think of any better way. “We wanted to give people a place to relax, enjoy a glass of wine and sit by the fireplace,” Croak said. “We get something going in the slow cooker for them, either chili, soup or beef stew, something hot when it’s cold out.” Harmony Winery’s new fall music weekend festival series began in October and will run through December. Croak said the live entertainment is usually from 8 to 11 p.m. on Fridays, from either 2 to 5 p.m. or 8 to 11 p.m. on Saturdays and 2 to 5 p.m. on Sundays. There is no cover charge. Croak said it is usually on two days over the weekend, depending on the days he can arrange the performers. “My wife and I decided to invest some money to do it and see what the return is going to be,” Croak said. “When you have a new venture, you have to do it consistently so

A group called Less is More is due in December to do a Christmas show. Croak, whose winery opened in 2011, said they have been doing karaoke the second and fourth Friday of the month for the past two years. “People like it because it’s a small venue, and they get to sing more than if they go to any of the larger clubs,” Croak said. “Generally, they get to sing anywhere from four or five times in the rotation.” For more, visit harmonywinery.com.

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.

Keeping holiday travel healthy Commentary by Lance Goyke

The holiday season is a great way to connect with friends and family you haven’t seen in a while. But all of that travvitality eling — changing time zones, germs on the plane, hours of sitting, and general life stress — can really take a toll on you. To minimize jet lag, go to bed and wake up at the same time every day so your body knows when to wake you up. Minimize caffeine and alcohol because these drugs interfere with your daily rhythm. Airports are where all the germs go to hang out. Keep your body’s defense system strong by eating a vegetable (colorful things), a protein (like chicken, turkey, ground beef or tofu), and a healthy fat (like avocado, olive oil or your favorite nut) at every meal. Sitting can put a lot of stress on your back and neck. The best medicine here is movement; get up and move around whenever possible. If prolonged sitting is unavoidable, take a deep breath and exhale as much air as you
can. Picture you’re blowing out a 100-candle birthday cake. After that, find and feel your two “sit bones” underneath your butt muscles, letting them sink into the seat. Do the same thing with your back. If you let your seat support you, your back won’t get so tight. If your family stresses you out — I’m not the only one that happens to, right? — get away for some exercise. Try this short exercise program: 20 bodyweight squats, 10 push ups with your hands on the bed and 10 lunges on each leg. Do that as many times as you can (shoot for at least four). Support yourself with your hands if need be. When you’re done, meditate for 5 minutes to clear your mind. I promise you’ll feel like a new person. Remember, your oxygen mask goes on first. Take care of yourself, then spread your holiday joy. Lance Goyke is a strength coach with Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training (IFAST). Visit ifastonline.com to learn more about Lance and IFAST.

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 Fishers/Geist, the average year-to-date home sale price rose 3.2 percent compared to this time last year, increasing to $263,050. • Inventory moved at an even pace in Fishers/Geist in October 2015. Overall, homes sold in 64 days – the same amount of days as this time last year. • Buyers in Fishers/Geist had fewer options available to them. Last month,
527 homes were available for sale – 103 fewer homes compared to October 2014. • Pended home sales have slipped in Fishers/Geist. In October 2015, 134 homes sold – a decline of 44 homes compared to October 2014. • Of the pended home sales in Fishers/ Geist last month, eight were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 30 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 38 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 55 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and three were priced at $99,999 or less. Declines in the fourth quarter of the housing market should be expected, but there are several other factors impacting the overall picture of October. According to the Consumer Confidence Index, we know consumer confidence declined in October, yet Indiana’s job market and average salaries are growing, signaling a promising end to 2015.

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

Jerusalem’s Holy Wall
Home Security System an $850 Value
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.
