Local author Kurt Meyer’s novel draws on experiences By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Kurt Meyer followed the adage that even fiction writers should write what they know. His novel “The Salvage Man” was book published by River’s Edge Media in September. “It’s set in Noblesville like my first one (also published by River’s Edge Media),” Meyer said. “That’s simply out of laziness. I live here, and I know the town. My ideas obviously come from my experiences here.” Meyer, 55, who grew up in Tipton, has lived in Noblesville for 28 years. Meyer Meyer is a sales associate for the F.C. Tucker Co. He has been a realtor for 22 years and previously was a teacher at Shenandoah High School in Henry County. “I specialize in selling historic homes,” said Meyer, who lives in a restored Victorian-era home in downtown Noblesville. Meyer said when he was restoring his first house on Cherry Street, he did some salvaging of old houses. “Just to find the pieces and parts I needed to put the house back together a la the 1890s,” Meyer said. “The are a lot of interesting experiences in old houses, and at the same time I was watching Noblesville go through a lot of changes. The idea for (the book) flowed out of that.” Meyer said the main character is taking 150-year-old architectural elements from an old house when he encounters a woman living in an abandoned house. “It’s what happens between them,” Meyer said. “It’s people whose lives are in limbo and need to find a way to move on. The process of the undoing of that house becomes the motivation for them to make a change in their lives. It’s kind of a story of redemption, a couple of lost souls who feel invisible in a place where they both ought to really matter. They are trying to make themselves purposeful again.” Meyer wrote most of the “The Savage Man” 10 years ago but said he decided to dust it off after River’s Edge Media published his last book, “Noblesville.” “I had a chance to work with a professional editor, which is a rewarding experience to work with a talented, smart person who knows how to polish a story and help you see the weaknesses in your work,” Meyer said. “I think that

intimidates and insults some writers, but I love it. The suggestions I was given made it a better story. As writers sometimes, we get a little self-indulgent. We’re writing about things we’re excited about personally, and sometimes we need someone to look over our shoulder and say ‘if you want other people to enjoy this, you might do a little bit less of this and little bit more of that.’” Meyer’s novel “Noblesville,” published in August 2014, is a historical fiction book on things that actually happened in Noblesville in 1893.

Noblesville East Middle School sixth-grader Chloe Andry views being in the Butler Ballet production of performance Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” as a great experience. “It’s really cool to see what it may be like in the future if I would ever go there,” Andry said. Andry, 12, joins fellow Noblesville residents Abby Burnette, 10, Kate Barker, 11, from Ballerinas Academy of Dance in Noblesville as cast members in “The Nutcracker,” Dec. 3 through Dec. 6 at Clowes Hall at Butler University. “They all started at age 3 or 4 in our program,” said Becky Van Briggle, owner and artistic director from Ballerinas Academy of Dance. “They’re all at the studio taking multiple classes. They’re all very serious about their ballet. They’ve all studied tap, jazz and contemporary dance. Their focus is in performing with ballet. It’s the most important discipline for the dancer as it improves the quality of all the other styles of dance.” Performances are 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3, 8 p.m. Dec. 4, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Dec. 5 and 2 p.m. Dec. 6 “Students come from all over the country

Van Briggle said there will be representatives from important ballet companies. “That will be great to experience something new especially from the people with my studio,” said Andry, who rehearses her ballet seven days a week.” Andry will do a ballet solo, a classical variation of ballet and contemporary piece. “To me, it’s more about getting exposure to what my future might hold,” Andry said. “There are great teachers and people there to judge you. I don’t think as it as much of a competition as I think of it as a way to get out there.”

Shihling Jeanette Chui said she believed she was lucky to be awarded as the Indiana Chinese Rising Star Teacher education of the Year by the Indiana Chinese Language Association of Secondary-Elementary Schools. “It’s a mixed feeling because I hope I can do better,” Chui said. “I just hope that I can keep up the good work and there are a lot of things I can learn from more experienced Chinese teachers.” Chui received the award certificate at the Indiana Foreign Language Teacher Association conference in Indianapolis Nov. 8. The Noblesville resident is in her second school year teaching Chinese at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School in Indianapolis, teaching three classes from level one to level three. The Rising Star is for teachers with less than five years of experience teaching Chinese. Chui received recommendations from Brebeuf Jesuit principal Greg VanSlambrook, one of her students’ parents and one from her department chair at Brebeuf. She previously taught Chinese at Indianapolis Public Schools for one year and for one semester at North Central High School.

Chui is still using her maiden name but sometimes goes by her more American name of Jeanette Dwyer. She met her husband, Mike Dwyer, when both taught at Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis. Her daughter Yilin Dwyer, a Noblesville High School junior, has won several awards in Latin competition.

Ex-Colt Gary Brackett visits chamber
Gary Brackett was the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce’s speaker at its monthly member’s luncheon Nov. 18. Brackett was a linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts for nine seasons. He now owns seven Stacked Pickle and two Georgia Reese restaurants, which he said he’s been looking at Noblesville for a long time to open a restaurant. Brackett spoke mostly on his motivations to succeed and his transition from the NFL to an entrepreneur. “Along the way, I’ve learned that successful people are very intentional about their actions,” he said. “My philosophy of my business, as a CEO, as a founder, is even though it’s not my fault, it’s still my responsibility.” (Photo by Sadie Hunter)

Barbara Jackson celebrates the 70th birthday of first-year baby boomers By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com
COMMUNITY
About Barbara Jackson • Family: Married 45 1/2 years (Jan. 24, 1970) to husband James; six kids; seven grandchildren • Church: member of Redeeming Love Church, 1950 Conner St., Noblesville • Career: Formerly owned a catering company, Celebrations Catering, and Pullien’s City Cafeteria in Noblesville. Before moving to Indiana from Columbus, Ohio, she worked in a dentist’s office for more than 20 years. • Interesting fact: Jackson lived in Columbus, Ohio, most of her life. She says she can wake up in both Indiana and Ohio and feel completely at home. However, she also lived in New York for one year when she worked for the IRS.
In the coming year, millions of Americans will celebrate their 70th birthday. Many don’t consider the birthdays of those they don’t know, but 2016 will mark a 70-year anniversary of the start of the baby boomer cover story generation. Of the approximately 76 million people born during baby boomer years (1946-1964), the U.S. Census Bureau estimates there are more than 65 million currently living, American-born baby boomers in the United States. Approximately 4 percent of that number is made up of “first-year boomers,” those born in 1946, post-World War II. Each following year of the baby boomer generation resulted in more births, until finally tapering in 1964. Locally, Barbara Jackson of Noblesville will celebrate her From left, Barbara (Pullien) Jackson, Ericka Jackson and Heather Ramey celebrate in 2013 their 70th birthday Sept. 2.

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 EEK 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.

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-

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!

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

• 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.

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.

Store operator Sam Hartman pauses with nearly 30 Taylor University students who joined in on the fun of the grand opening ceremonies of Noblesville’s second Chick-fil-A location at 14098 Bergen Pkwy., just across Campus Parkway from Hamilton Town Center. (Submitted photo)
Chick-fil-A opening draws crowd By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Camping outside businesses in parking lots is something typically reserved for those waiting in long lines for Black real estate Friday shopping, but with that day on the books for 2015, anyone driving near Hamilton Town Center in the evening hours of Nov. 18 may have seen similar commotion near Noblesville’s newest Chick-fil-A restaurant at 14098 Bergen Pkwy., just northeast of the shopping center. More than 100 camped out the evening before the store’s Nov. 19 opening to be the first in line. Instead of rushing the doors though, campers were awoken at 5:15 a.m. when they were then lead across a red carpet to the ordering area with a Chick-fil-A cow and trumpet player, all while being cheered on by the staff
of the store and its owner, Sam Hartman. While waiting for the 6 a.m. opening though, campers enjoyed games, music and more, in addition to a children’s book drive to benefit Shepherd’s Community Center. The motivation to camp out? A one-year supply of Chick-fil-A food. The First 100 event is something the fast food company has done for 12 years, giving more than $26 million away in free food. This opening gave away more than $32,000. The offer consists of 52 meals that include a chicken sandwich, medium-sized waffle fries and a medium drink. The addition to the chain of Chick-fil-A restaurants across the nation will create nearly 100 jobs in Noblesville. The new location makes for the city’s second, the other at 16685 Mercantile Blvd., and the 18th in a 35mile radius of the store.

Past Unique makes heirlooms By Michelle Williams news@currentnoblesville.com Two Hamilton County women have started a business that integrates family histories with home décor and personal accesArt sorizing products. Genealogist Laura Madden of Noblesville and product designer Kelly Douglas of Carmel create “everyday heirlooms,” for their business, Past Unique. After three years of providing genealogical services for families, Madden decided the time was right to move on to a new type of business that would leave clients with a tangible piece of genealogy. “I kept thinking that there was more I could do for these families — some way to display their family pride,” Madden said. With the help of Douglas’ 15 years of product design experience, the business now offers a full line of items such as wooden display boards, pillows and necklaces. The items may be adorned with a piece of family handwriting or an image, such as an old recipe card, resulting in a uniquely customized product. Past Unique was conceptualized in August 2014, and the duo unveiled www.PastUnique.

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 Noblesville, the average year-to-date home sale price rose 9.2 percent compared to this time last year, increasing to $232,600. • Inventory moved at a slower pace in Noblesville in October 2015. Overall, homes sold in 90 days – 23 fewer days than this time last year. • Buyers in Noblesville had 366 homes avail-
able for sale last month, which is 21 fewer homes available than in October 2014. • Pended home sales have slipped in Noblesville. In October 2015, 98 homes sold – a decline of 20 homes compared to October 2014. • Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, six were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 18 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 17 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 51 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and six 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
Cache, cachet and cash
Commentary by Don Knebel
Commentary by Jordan Fischer
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.
Question: I need some help here: I see the words “cache” and “cachet” more and more often, and I grammar guy want to make sure I’m using them correctly. Are they interchangeable? Answer: If there’s a recurring theme in these columns, it’s that words that came to us from French often trip us up. That’s certainly the case here. Let’s see what we can do. “Cache” is the more likely of the two words for you to be familiar with. It means a “collection of items of the same type stored in a hidden or inaccessible place” – or sometimes just the hiding place itself. It’s also used in computing to refer to a temporary storage space, like your browser cache. Speaking of which … never hurts to clear that out, folks. “Cachet” you don’t see as much – or at least I don’t. It means a “distinguishing mark

Praying at the Western Wall (Photo by Don Knebel)
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. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville. com.

or seal,” like the kind you might find on an official correspondence. However, these days it’s used more figuratively to mean “the state of being respected or admired; prestige.” For example: Julia would like to make some changes around the office, but she doesn’t have the cachet to accomplish it. “Cash” is a homophone of “cache.” It makes the world go round and may or may not lead to happiness and/ or all evil. The jury’s out on that one. You could have a cache of cash, I suppose, but your money’s probably better off in a mutual fund. Then again, I’m a grammar columnist – I wouldn’t look to me for investment advice. Do clear out your browser cache, though. You’ll thank me for it.
If there’s a recurring theme in these columns, it’s that words that came to us from French often trip us up. That’s certainly the case here.
