Twelve Houses of Christmas tour lights up season
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Maggie Owens views the Twelve Houses of Christmas as a fun, educational way to spend about 20 minutes. downtown “Who doesn’t like the opportunity to look at Christmas lights and see the different ways people decorate?” Owens said. “Some people have inflatables in their yard and go totally all out. There are some that just have a little bit of lights on the front of their house. It’s a fun way to build awareness of the Noblesville Preservation Alliance.” Owens is the event’s cochair with Lauren Parker. Both Owens are NPA board members. The NPA event began Dec. 1 and runs each day from 6 to 9 p.m. through Dec. 31. “It’s a driving tour with an interactive map that gives the addresses and the information about the district that the home is in,” Owens said. There is historical information about the houses as well. The houses are all in historical neighborhoods. All but one house of the 12 is a residence. The exception is the Smith House, which is an event rental facility now. Owens said the NPA chooses 12 houses from

Homes on the tour get a gift from the NPA for participating.” Owens said there were a couple of years where they charged for the map. “There was a year where we charged $1 to vote online but we found it wasn’t worth that,” Owens said. “The years we charged to vote, there wasn’t as much of a turnout as far as people voting.

Continuing its support of proposed new development off Exit 210 on the southeast side of the city, the Noblesville government Common Council approved a resolution at its Dec. 8 meeting establishing an economic revitalization area for the city’s first full-service hotel and conference center. Establishment of the economic revitalization area would allow the city to offer incentives to Sun Development & Management Corp. – the developer of the 20,000-square-foot conference center and 187,000-square-foot, 198-suite hotel – and capture tax increment financing dollars to show a return on investment of an estimated $879,000 annually after the final year (2029) of an offered 10-year tax abatement on the property. The council took action on several other agenda items: • Proposed development on the currently bare southeast corner of Ind. 38 and Little

Chicago Road has some neighbors in the Mill Grove subdivision worried. In front of the council at the Dec. 8 meeting were two ordinances up for adoption that would have changed zoning of the land for mixed use space, more specifically the development of 63 lots by Fischer Homes, fronted with three commercial outlots facing Ind. 38 on its south side. Fischer Homes has requested waivers for perimeter buffering on the south edge of the proposed development, the edge that would butt up against Mill Grove. Council members sug-
gested Fischer Homes schedule meetings with possible future neighbors in Mill Grove and continued both rezoning ordinances to its next meeting, 7 p.m. Dec. 22. • The council approved text amendments that would allow for a 37-foot sign – reading “Pebble Brook Shops” – between two existing buildings at Pebble Brook Village Center. Council members voted 6-1 in favor of the change. Councilor Jeff Zeckel voted against it. The next Noblesville Common Council meeting is 7 p.m. Dec. 22 at City Hall, 16 S. 10th St.

HEPL opens digital media lab By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com In an effort to expand services to the community and upgrade its technology, employees at Hamilton East Public technology Library in Noblesville say they’re excited to welcome residents to its new digital media lab. Funded and donated by Friends of the Library, a group that provides services and resources to local library branches, Brad Howell, adult services team leader at the library, said the main purpose of the lab is to create projects with both old and new media. “Opening this lab gives adults and students the capability to create original digital content or convert older media to digital formats with a wide variety of higher level software,” Howell said. “So, a user could do something simple like taking old home videos and converting them to digital files or something more advanced such as creating/editing a professional movie. For me personally, having the ability to take my marriage video on VHS and convert it so I could watch it on my iPhone was fantastic.” The space, previously used as a study room, now is home to two iMac computers, a variety of photo and video editing software, an Epson

Don Perkins talks guns, faith, family as a firearms shop owner By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com A career change late in life has proved successful for Don Perkins, owner of Bare Arms Firearms. For most of his adult life, Perkins, now COVER STORY 60, worked as a corporate executive for trucking companies, like Stoops, handling sales and operations. It wasn’t until just more than four years ago he was inspired by his son to leave it behind. “I grew up in Northern Indiana. My dad was in the military for quite a few years. I grew up out in the county, and we were hunting and fishing,” he said. “I got away from guns after I got out of high school, and then when my son became an explorer policeman, he got me interested again. So, it was really kind of my son that got me back involved with guns. I felt a calling to do something different. I left the corporate world and went out on my own to do my own thing.” This business is housed just west of Ind. 37 at 2370 Conner St. in downtown Noblesville, where Perkins says safety and security is a high priority. “This is an old bank, so in having an old bank, you have all the security that goes along with it,” he said. “All of our guns are kept in a vault after hours. We pay very close attention to the safety and security of what we do here.” In keeping with his employees and customer base being safe, he encourages safety and competency above all else when it comes to firearms. “We offer a wide variety of training. We are NRA-certified trainers here. A couple of us are certified range safety officers,” Perkins said. “We offer other classes called, ‘Refuse to be a Victim.’ We train hundreds of folks each year. We do NRA basic pistol
training. We fill those classes almost every month. Then we offer advanced pistol training, advanced rifle training, where (the customer spends) a lot of time learning how to become a quality defensive shooter. We want guns in the hands of folks who know how use them. We want folks educated and safe.” Perkins said when potential customers come into the store for a handgun, they are personally fitted for one after being asked a series of questions so the gun fits the person to the best of their ability. “We want a handgun to fit you just like your favorite jeans, your favorite shoes or your favorite purse. We want you comfortable, committed to training and competent,” he said. Of the store’s five employees, including Perkins, all of them are policemen or are closely related to a police department. Perkins said they’re NRA-certified trainers. Politically, with firearms in the news nearly everyday, no matter which side of the table you sit on, Perkins said he sees a wide range of opinions and lifestyles in his customer base, but says he gladly serves them all. “You find a wide variety of users. We have seen an increase with the Paris attacks. We have certainly seen an increase with the crime in Indianapolis moving towards Hamilton County, and then now with the latest attack in San Bernardino, we have seen a significant increase,” he said. “Unfortunately, it can be a political cycle, and unfortunately, it can be a horrific
event cycle.” Perkins said most of his business comes from those seeking personal protection firearms, 95 percent of which is handgun sales. “We do a lot with hunting, we do a lot with sporting rifles, but predominantly we do a lot with personal protection, whether it’s on your person, in your vehicle or your home. Our primary demographic from a usage standpoint is that, and then about 35 percent of (personal protection) business is female.” Perkins said he has operated the store with what he calls an unlikely Christian component. “There is absolutely a Christian faith component to this store. We founded this store under the auspices to do our best in a sinful world,” Perkins said. “Somedays we’re good at that, and somedays we’re not. We try to represent Christ and be an outreach in our community in a place that is least likely to do so. I’m a dad, husband, son, father and grandfather. One of the things I wanted here was to have a place that my daughters, my mom, my granddaughters and my wife could come and be proud of what we do.”

With business sometimes both politically and tragic event-driven, Perkins said he sees a variety of customers with interests that range from hunting to target shooting to personal protection. (Photo by Sadie Hunter)

Cherish Center, take a bow We congratulate The Cherish Center at Riverview Health in Noblesville for achieving National Children’s Alliance associate membership status. The Cherish Center is a safe location, where child victims of intimate violence are interviewed. A multi-disciplinary team including the prosecutor’s office, The Department of Child Services, law enforcement and trained child advocates work together to provide protection and justice. An advocate from Prevail provides support for the victims and their families. The organization serves child victims of abuse more than 350 times each year. Presently, it is working to become fully accredited with the National Children’s Alliance. Its work and this new membership are outstanding. ••• Noblesville’s Hamilton East Public Library recently opened a digital-media lab, featuring equipment and software and an array of services for the community, up to and including photo and video production. The library continuously works to offer a wide variety of services and programming for citizens. Much of what is offered is available for people in the community who do not live in an area that makes them eligible to have a library card. ••• We’re not taking up the cause of Donald Trump (R-Billions) here, but what we believe he was saying when he fired off incendiary comments about closing the United States to Muslims was this: Until this broken nation with broken systems can get its collective broken brain repaired, we are not nearly as secure as the government would have us believe.

‘Mean Girls’
Commentary by Terry Anker
“Nine out of Ten Dentists Agree” shouts at us from the packaging on one box from the wall of toothpaste choices. If all of these folks agree that this is the VERY best product, why are there so many choices that are lesser? And, if someone asserts that “reasonable people agree” does that mean that if we don’t that we must be the lone one who is unreasonable? The rhetoric of inclusion (or perhaps better said – exclusion) is a highly powerful sales tool. And, it serves well to oppress dissenting points of view. Which clothes have we upon our backs? Which lunch table is where we consume our daily calories? Which means of conveyance gets us back and forth to which occupation? All of these are being judged by someone. OK, humans categorize other humans. But what is it in us that urges criticism of those who make choices, benign to us, that are different from our own? When hours of Thanksgiving televised football with my sons was derailed
by Brighthouse, we found ourselves with a big screen, plenty of snacks and no sports. While killing time for the promised return of the games, we wondered upon the 2004 hit movie “Mean Girls.” Therein a nice girl is ostracized because she challenged the prevailing hierarchy. When she resisted, it got nasty. How dare she think on her own! In our boredom, I guess, it spawned a conversation about peer pressure – especially of the negative kind – and about our unwillingness to stand up when we believe the assertions of “reasonableness” is grossly overstated! Do nine of 10 dentists agree that we should buy Brand X? Probably not. Yet, a publically asserted and undefended falsehood often becomes the perceived truth. Is it factual? No. Does it matter? Not unless we say so. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@youarecurrent.com.
Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK Life can seem either very long or very short, according to how you live it.
– Paulo Coelho
How are your holidays going? Have you lowered your expectations like I advised last week? Additionally, might I humor suggest a few additional guidelines for surviving the last two weeks of 2015? 1. Start pounding the Vitamin C now! Evil germs are out to get us all, and they can only be avoided with copious amounts of citric acid and booze. Mimosas work well! 2. Provide your spouse with an itemized gift list. Indicate exactly what you want and include a “Please do not buy” section. Trust me on this one, he/she needs to be Waterford clear on the what constitutes the perfect gift card (Target), sweatshirt (Louisville basketball, ladies small, anything black), appliance (Roomba 650 … at Target), and pair of boots (Aerosoles, tan With Pride, size 9.5). 3. Avoid the Castleton/Keystone crazy and just shop online. (I’m even thinking of switching grocery stores because I heard Kroger offers an online ordering/ curbside pickup option.) Target.com, Cardinalswear.com, Zappos.com … Doo? Are you getting this? 4. Less is more when it comes to holiday decorations. If even one house in your neighborhood is rubber-neck worthy, your measly mailbox bow doesn’t stand a chance anyway. 5. Don’t be afraid to lie about prior commitments or “sick” kids. Company party got you anxious? Bow out with a doggy doo-doo accident or a forgotten bassoon concert. (That actually happened, Steve and Brian. Seriously!) 6. New Year’s does not have to be celebrated at twelve-oh-oh. Nine o’clock is midnight somewhere, and with the appropriately coordinated enthusiasm, you can partake in the festivities and be asleep by 10. That may be the introvert in me talking, but one should never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep, especially when beginning a whole new year! You only have to last another 16 days. You can do it! Remember to keep your expectations as far from Norman Rockwell as possible and follow the aforementioned rules. Peace out! Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Roads projects take a hit

As the city continues to maneuver with a lean budget, one line item most needing replenishing from alternative funding city is road resurfacing. Infrastructure is the backbone to the community, and despite difficult economic times, residents still expect a certain standard when traveling through our community. City infrastructure also is necessary to develop our local economy and attract new investments. Having smooth, connecting roads not only increases the quality of life, but creates jobs and spurs development. The outcome of finding alternative funding is pivotal to my department as we begin planning for 2016. Right now, we are looking at losing $500,000 for resurfacing – not including pothole, storm sewer, sidewalk repairs and resurfacing of our alleys, which have not been done since 1995. Several infrastructure needs will be addressed if a trash fee ($10.57 per month or $125.28 a year) is implemented. In 2016, the city will have more than 250 road center line miles and 16 miles of alleys to maintain and less than $1.2 million to do it with. We need to expand the streets and roads
budget to keep up with the road miles we’ve been accepting in the past 10-15 years to keep up with the maintenance that is going to come with the acceptance of new developments from the past 20 years. I want residents to know major road projects – like the roundabout at South 10th Street and Greenfield Avenue – come from road impact fees and are not impacted by the need of alternative funding. Resurfacing money reaches beyond our city streets and addresses heaved, cracked or destroyed sidewalks in town. There is typically more demand for sidewalks and curb replacement than we have funding. Having more resurfacing money means we’ll be able to spend more on the street budget and not dip into the sidewalk budget. If the surfacing budget is not amended, it could mean that eight residential roads that we plan to address next year will have to wait. If approved, we could expand the scope and types of projects we do with the extra money. John Beery has served as Noblesville’s city engineer since 2006. He may be reached by calling 776-6330.

Where’s Amy? ‘Where’s Amy?’ is a photo column by Amy Pauszek, a society girl and film producer and partner with Ever Film Productions, LLC. She may be reached at aepaws1@comcast.net.

“Where’s Amy?” was blown away after attending the Wynonna Judd and The Big Noise Christmas Holiday Show at the Palladium. The five-time Grammy winner and New York Times bestselling author commanded the stage with her powerful vocals and ‘sassy’ attitude. Fans were moved by her beautiful renditions of Christmas classics and her popular hits using her rich voice. Impressed by the Palladium size and acoustics, she mentioned she would love to come back to record a live show. She joked about her relationships with her famous mother and sister, sharing with the audience that she finally was able to break free and be herself on tour. Wynonna said she loved using her ‘gift of music’ to share with others during hard times and over the holidays. She had many fans in tears with her final song of the evening, “Silent Night.” Wynonna had captured the audience’s hearts as they joined in singing softly the words of “Silent Night.” It was at that moment that I felt blessed and lucky to have shared this special moment with my parents. No matter the faith, the night closed with the true meaning behind the reason for the season. It’s safe to say Wynonna knows how to rock the stage using her gift of music and love to bring fans together. Bravo.
Taste the stars

Add some pizzaz to your champagne this holiday season Commentary by Sophie Pappas
Wynonna fans Kathy and Mike Buland of Noblesville said they loved the concert and thought she had a powerful voice.
Deana Keen and Libby Macomber, of Carmel, enjoyed the concert and thought Wynonna and The Big Noise Band was amazing. They mentioned when she sang “Silent Night” (after her standing ovation) you could hear a pin drop because the audience was so moved by her moving rendition.
Rappers call it champs, others call it bubbly, and your grandmother might refer to it as sparkling wine, but either way you put it, a good bottle of champagne is a staple not only drinks on New Year’s Eve, but also at any sophisticated holiday party. Dom Perignon said, “Come quickly. I am tasting the stars!” when he first invented champagne, and while a bottle of Dom might not need anything to accompany it besides a charcuterie and cheese tray, here are some fun ways to spiff up any cheap bottle of champs this holiday season. • Rosemary and pomegranate – Add fresh pomegranate seeds and a sprig of rosemary to each glass of prosecco or champagne for an herby, yet refreshing, drink. • Berries – Blueberries, raspberries or cranberries can make a glass of champagne look colorful while also adding little bites of fruity flavor. For Christmas morning, cranberries and orange juice make for a more colorful mimosa. • Champagne floats – Add a scoop of mango or tangerine sorbet to the bottle or a glass of champagne to make a champagne “float.” Best served at the end of a meal, since the sorbet makes this drink feel like dessert! • Flavored liqueur or simple syrup – Artisanal simple syrups or add-ins such a ginger liqueur or peach Schnapps can add just a little kick of flavor to an average bottle of sparkling wine. • Mint – Another option to serve with dessert is a glass of champagne with mint leaves and a splash of bourbon. Pairs well with anything chocolate.

Ideal tailgater Christmas gifts By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Martha De Lacey, writing for the “Daily Mail” says that men get bored with shopping in 26 minutes, but women can go two hours before it hits them. Now if we believe this, then there has to be a better way to shop for the tailgater on your list then to just go out to the stores looking for things. There is and here is a simple routine to plan for success. Start at coleman.com to make your wish list. Start at tailgating equipment, but also look at chairs, grills, canopies and coolers and more. Just invest 26 minutes and you’ll have a list of items that you could see at your tailgate next year. Enter one of your listed items into your favorite search engine with the item name and manufacturer and the word “sale” or “cheap.” What you’ll get as a result is usually a bunch of photos of the item you want with prices on them. If these are lower than your list price, find out where they are being sold. Most often it can be a local store that has them on sale. Then you can just go to that store and buy it at a good price. Don’t forget that this is the season for lower prices on camping gear (it’s on sale) since the season for outdoor activity is NOT winter. Repeat this process time and again until you have satisfied your wish/shopping list. Here’s another Christmas shopping day treat that can also be packaged as a gift for a party or simple visit to a friend’s home during this season. White Chocolate Peppermint Bark Ingredients: • Crushed candy canes, to yield 1 cup • 2 pounds white chocolate cut into pieces • Peppermint flavorings, optional Directions: Place candy canes in a plastic

bag and break into 1/4-inch or smaller pieces with a kitchen mallet or can from your pantry. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (see below if no double boiler). Combine candy cane chunks with chocolate (add peppermint flavoring at this point if desired). Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet layered with parchment or waxed paper and place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or until firm. Remove from cookie sheet and break into pieces (like peanut brittle). If you do not have a double boiler you can use the microwave. Just cut the white chocolate in pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Adjust your microwave to 50 percent strength so you don’t burn the chocolate. Then heat the chocolate 30 seconds at a time and stir it between each 30 second interval. Repeat this process as needed until the white chocolate is mostly melted. Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” and is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

Even though this dessert isn’t originally from Peru, it is one of the most loved and popular sweets in my country! This Christmas add a unique spin to your holiday menu with this “deliciosicima” crema volteada. Note: Bain-marie consists of placing a container (baking pan, bowl, etc.) of food in a large, shallow pan of warm water, which surrounds the food with gentle heat. CREMA VOLTEADA Serves: 8 Ingredients For the caramel: 3/4 cup, generous, granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons water, 3 drops lemon juice For the custard: 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 (12 fl oz) can evaporated milk, 4 eggs, 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions For the caramel: In a medium saucepan over mediumlow heat, melt sugar with water and lemon juice until mixture is golden brown (about 8 to 10 minutes), make sure not to let sugar burn. Carefully pour hot caramel into a round baking mold with a hole in the middle turning it so caramel covers both the bottom and sides. Set aside. For the custard: Preheat oven at 350F.
Peruvian caramel custard is a good ending to any Christmas dinner. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)
In a large bowl, lightly whisk eggs until well combined; add condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla bean, mix well until smooth. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the caramel baking mold and bake in a bain-marie for 1 hour. To be sure the cream is cooked insert a knife blade into the cream; if the blade comes out clean, the cream is done. Remove from oven and let it cool. To serve, run a knife around the cream where it is connected to the mold. Carefully invert mold into a serving platter and jiggle loose so it falls in one piece. Caramel custard can be served at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with strawberries or edible flowers and mint leafs.

On-demand alcohol delivery service comes to Noblesville
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
No time to hit the liquor store before the big game or party? Drizly provides a solution. The on-demand alcofood & drink hol delivery service was launched in the Indianapolis market one year ago. “We saw a great response from consumers,” said Kerin Hogan, a spokesperson for Drizly. “For the last six months, we looked at how we can expand into the suburbs of Indianapolis. We partner with local retailers like Big Red Liquors to have alcohol delivery to your home in less than an hour.” Hogan Hogan is helping to launch scheduled delivery in 15 other Indianapolis-area communities, including Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville. You can place an order on Drizly.com or the app for delivery for Thursday, Friday or Saturday. “They’ll pick a time window that’s easiest for them,” Hogan said. “Say you are hosting a party on Friday night, but you are busy at work and don’t have time to stop at the liquor store. You can buy a few bottles of wine and have them meet you there when you get home.” Westfield is the only new community that will have on-demand and scheduled delivery.
An app is used to order through Drizly. (Submitted image)
Hogan said they are adding on three new Big Red Liquors stores that will help delivery. “We’re not taking away business from a liquor store, we are helping them grow,” Hogan said. “Their inventory is uploaded through the Drizly site so anything you can buy in a Big Red store, you can get on Drizly.com or the app for the same price.” Hogan said a costumer puts in their address, and it will tell which exact store will make the delivery. Hogan said the scheduled delivery is needed because it may not be possible to deliver within an hour in the suburbs, as opposed to a city where people are living closer together and to the story. “As demands grows, we’ll think about rolling out on-demand delivery (each day),” Hogan said.

You still need your eye exam
Commentary by Tammy Wittmann
“I see great! Do I still need an eye exam?” Alex L., Carmel, IN Alex, What a great queseyecare tion! The short answer is an overwhelming “YES!” There are many things we check in an eye examination and vision is just one. The most important reason you need your comprehensive eye examination is because most eye diseases have no symptoms until it’s too late. Glaucoma, cataracts, ocular tumors, macular degeneration and many more cause no visual symptoms until they are in their advanced stages. School screenings and primary care doctor screenings do not replace eye examinations either. Most of these diseases cannot be detected with a screening. Also, there are other visual issues that are not detected by reading a traditional eye chart. Eye alignment, tracking and focusing disorders are critical for learning and are not detected in screenings.
The recommended comprehensive eye examination schedule is as follows: at birth, between 6 and 12 months of age, then at 3 years old, 5 years old and every year after. Sometimes, depending on what is found in these examinations you may need to be seen more frequently. I have patients who are seen every six months or less, depending on the condition. And many have no visual symptoms with their condition. I tell patients that we are really good at having our teeth cleaned every six months. We do this to keep our teeth healthy and to catch problems early for better treatment. I remind patients that it is a lot easier to treat eye disease and disorders when caught early. It’s also good to remember that we can eat with false teeth but we cannot see with a fake eye … right? Dr. Tammy Wittmann, O.D., practices at Wittmann 20/20 Family Eye Center at 2792 E. 146th St., Carmel. For more information, visit www.wittmann2020.com or call 843-2020.

Copenhagen’s Kastellet (“Citadel”) may be the most beautiful active military base in the world. It is also the site of a unique religious tradition and a great choice for travel an afternoon stroll. In 1626, Danish King Christian IV began building Kastellet to defend the harbor north of Copenhagen. The fortress took the form of a five-pointed star, surrounded by a moat. Bastions at each point allowed cannons to fire in all directions. To enable defenders to weather a siege, the fortress included 16 windmills for grinding flour and a Baroque style church where troops could pray. In 1725, King Frederick IV built a prison behind the church, with eye holes in the cell walls so inmates could follow the church proceedings. The most famous prisoner was Johann Friedrich Struensee, a German physician to schizophrenic King Christian VII who became an important governmental reformer in his own right. Following discovery of Struensee’s affair with King Christian’s young queen, he was held in Kastellet’s prison in
1772 until he was beheaded, quartered and displayed in pieces a few blocks away in what is now a lovely park. Today, Kastellet houses branches of the Danish military, including the intelligence service. Colorful barracks sit amid the grassy ramparts and a lone Danish soldier stands guard at the guard house. Cannons point toward ancient foes. But the entire property is freely open to the public, with concerts held regularly on the manicured grounds and in the church. On the fourth Friday after Easter, Danes parade atop Kastellet’s ramparts in spring finery celebrating Store Bededag (“Great Prayer Day”), a religious holiday introduced by the Church of Denmark in 1686 to consolidate several minor feast days. Every Oct. 28, the last surviving windmill, erected in 1847, is tested to assure that it remains capable of feeding besieged troops. So far, so good.
