Noblesville senior guard gets boost from basketball family By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville High School senior basketball player Reagan Wilson’s competitive nature comes naturally. Her father, Dean Wilson, played basketball at the University of Alabama, and her brother, Evan, is a junior on the University of Akron men’s basketball team., Wilson “We hate losing. We always played in the driveway together and they would always beat me,” Reagan Wilson said. “They’ve always been my biggest supporters but also my biggest critics, which I love so much. They’ve definitely helped me get to where I am today.” The 5-foot-8 point guard, who has signed a National Letter of Intent to play at Iowa State University, was averaging 15.6 points and 2.7 assists in the first nine games. Gaining confidence has been her biggest improvement. “Having confidence out on the court is super important for me and this team,” Wil-

Favorite athlete: WNBA player Sabrina Ionescu Favorite TV show: “Outer Banks” Favorite subject: Math Favorite musician: Zach Bryan son said. “I’m not only empowering myself when I’m out there but I’m also empowering all my teammates. The biggest jump in my game has been my shooting. I’m continuing to work on getting in the paint, finding the open man and making sure I’m getting all my teammates involved. I’ve been working on increasing my 3-point range, which will help next season when the (college) line scoots back a little bit.” Noblesville coach Donna Buckley said

Wilson has been outstanding this season. The four-year starter topped the 1,000-point career mark in November. “She has improved in her long-range shooting,” Buckley said. “She has always been a great shooter, but her release is quicker.”

Wilson said having a quicker release helps with tighter coverage and will help in college when the defenses get bigger, faster and stronger. Buckley said Wilson is a tremendous leader for the Millers, who were 5-4 prior to the Dec. 8 game. “Every year you have a new team and you’re going to hit a rough spot,” Wilson said. “You have to work out different holes in the system. We’re trying to get back on a good team. I trust this team. We have a lot of room for improvement that we haven’t even touched on yet.” Wilson is one of two seniors along with Ava Shoemaker, who is also a starter. Wilson averaged 16.9 points last season and averaged 10 points for the Class 4A state championship team in 2022. Wilson chose Iowa State in February over Marquette University and DePaul University. “I was sold on (Iowa State’s) culture,” she said. “Being on the campus, I felt so loved by the team and the coaches. They have a great coaching staff that has been there for a really long time. The most important thing is they win. They get the job done and work a lot on player development.”

County concludes celebration By Edward Redd edward@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton County Bicentennial Commission recently had its final event to celebrate the Hamilton BICENTENNIAL County community and its rich history. Hamilton County, with a population of approximately 357,000, is 200 years old this year. As part of a yearlong celebration, events organized by the HCBC have been conducted throughout the county’s cities. On Dec. 3 at Ivy Tech Noblesville, 300 N. 17th St, the yearlong festivities concluded with the Bicentennial Bash, which celebrated all the county’s communities. Jessica Layman, HCBC coordinator, said planning began in 2020. Events included traveling exhibits, historical open houses and community anniversary celebrations. Layman said approximately 50 events were organized. Each had at least one theme: art; diversity and inclusion; education; historic preservation; and parks/ environment. “You have to be able to understand your history in order to look towards the future,”

Layman said. “I also think it’s important because Hamilton County is known for people moving here. There’s a huge portion of our population that wasn’t born in Hamilton County.” The Bicentennial Bash was a countywide event that showcased every community and all that the HCBC accomplished this year. It included a raffle, 16 local vendors, free food, an art show and an end-of-the-year celebration video. Layman declared the yearlong celebration a success.

Pebble Brook Golf Club celebrates milestone anniversary with upgrades, renovations

By Elissa Maudlin elissa@youarecurrent.com Pebble Brook Golf Club held a groundbreaking ceremony Dec. 1 for upgrades and renovations. It has been owned for 50 years by the Palmer family and is at 3110 Westfield Rd. in Noblesville. Upgrades include new cart paths, renovations to the kitchen and dining area within the Pebble Brook Grill restaurant, new irrigation systems and the installation of golf simulators. The late Eldon Palmer purchased Pebble Brook Golf Club in the 1970s. At the time, it was simply an 18-hole course. Now, it is a third-generation, family-owned and operated business with a restaurant, an event venue, a clubhouse and two 18-hole golf courses. John Nichols, who is married to Palmer’s oldest daughter, Patty, said he has been involved with managing the course since Palmer’s passing. Nichols said the family wanted to improve the club’s dining area and install golf simulators for the winter months. Nichols said golf is a sport that can be enjoyed by entire families and any player, regardless of age. He said making the game widely accessible has been the Palmer family’s mission. “This is a journey of 50 years for the Palmer family,” Nichols said at the groundbreaking. “Mr. Palmer was an amazing guy, and his vision was to have a family-oriented golf course that everyone could participate in. It continues to do that goal.” Nichols said Palmer was proud of the course and that it was his passion. Although Nichols said Palmer wasn’t an expert golfer, he had “a true love of golf.” Nichols said he and Palmer tried to improve the course each year. “I think he’d be proud of it, that it’s still in the family and it’s growing,” Nichols said. “Golf was going through the skids for a while, but golf is back in a new way but in a good way, and we’ve got a lot of golfers. Our golf rounds (have) improved a whole bunch. A lot more people (are) playing.” Nichols said “listening to golfers and trying to continue to improve the course for them” is what has fueled Pebble Brook’s

success for 50 years. Todd Thurston, District 2-elect for the Noblesville City Council, spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony and lauded it as an asset to the community. “Having facilities like this enhances the green space and the overall recreation goals for the city, and we’re happy to see that continue to go, and I know that it’s going to be here another 50 years,” Thurston said. John Cummins, senior vice president of new construction at The Peterson Co., said

The Pebble Brook Men’s Club is one of the largest and most active clubs in central Indiana since its founding in 1972, according to its website. The course hosts an array of tournaments, including a club championship every weekend from mid-April through mid-October. Events alternate between the Pebble Brook North and South Courses each weekend and are open to players of all skill levels. The Pebble Brook 18-Hole League for women is an active golf organization for players of all skill levels, according to the website. Golf is followed by social events on Thursday mornings. Beginner

and experienced golfers are welcome. Events are held on the South Course. The Pebble Brook Ladies 9-Hole Golf League holds events Tuesday mornings, rotating from the front nine or back nine of the South Course. Beginners and experienced golfers are welcome. The Newcomers Club Golf League plays regulation golf on Tuesday mornings, alternating between the front and back nine of the South Course. Golfers do not need to live in Carmel or be new to the area to play in the league. Once a month, the league conducts a shotgun tournament followed by lunch at a member’s home. All golfers are welcome.

the construction firm is delighted to be a partner in the project. “Two words I hear a lot: excitement and opportunity,” Cummins said. “Everybody here has mentioned that word, how excited they are about this expansion, what it’s going to mean for the community, what it’s going to mean for the members here. And then

expansion, just the continued growth and opportunity to be part of the team here (is rewarding).” ON THE COVER: From left, Jacob Nichols, John Nichols, Patty Nichols, Don Palmer, Marsha East, Guy East, Grant East at the groundbreaking celebration. (Photo by Elissa Maudlin)

White River Christian Church’s Hispanic campus to host celebration and service

Geist Christian Church features musical services

By Elissa Maudline leila@youarecurrent.com

By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com

White River Christian Church’s Hispanic campus will host a celebration called “Celebración de Navidad” at 6 p.m. Dec. 17. The event is for congregation members and will be held in the gym at 1685 N. 10th St. Until 2018, the event was more of an outreach that was open to the community, Hispanic Congregation Pastor Miguel Lara said. But now, he said, the focus is on church members. On average, approximately 250 church members attend the celebration. The church gives gifts at the event to children and celebrates with a pitch-in dinner. “The beauty of this is that since we represent several nations, Spanish-speaking countries, we get that melting pot of cuisines,” Lara said. “So, we want to have a taste of different countries — specifically their Christmas dish.” Lara said at least eight nations are represented during the celebration, including Venezuela, Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, El Salvador, Colombia, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. The event includes live Christmas music played by the church’s worship band. Children ages 5 to 11 will perform the Christmas story based on the Gospel of Luke.

A music celebration is planned at Geist Christian Church Dec. 16 and 17, a traditional part of the two congregations’ annual holiday festivities. Geist Christian Church is one church with two campuses — at 8550 Mud Creek Rd. on the southwest end of Geist Reservoir, and at 12756 Promise Rd. in Fishers. Danny Gulden is lead pastor at the Promise Road church, which offers a more contemporary and informal style of worship. He said the Mud Creek Road church is more traditional. Both are congregations in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Gulden said the musical worship services at the Promise Road church are 5:30 p.m. Dec. 16 and 10 a.m. Dec. 17. The Christmas concert will feature the church’s Praise Team and special musical guest, flutist Michael Morton. A livestream of the church’s services is available at youtube.com/promiseroadlive. “Then at the Mud Creek Campus on Dec. 17, we will have a Christmas cantata,” he said. “That’s a choral performance of Christmas music.” A livestream of the Mud Creek Road church services can be viewed at youtube.com/mudcreeklive. Both church campuses offer Christmas Eve services Dec. 24. At Mud Creek, the services include a children and youth service at 5 p.m.; lessons and carols at 7 p.m.; and candlelight and communion at 9 and 11 p.m. Christmas Eve at the Promise Road Campus includes a 10 a.m. children and families’ service; a youth-led service at 1:30 p.m.; and a contemporary Christmas service at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. For more, visit geistchristian.org.

SPANISH SERVICE At 10:30 a.m. Dec. 24, White River Christian Church will present a Christmas service in Spanish. The church is at 1685 N. 10th St. in Noblesville and Lara said the service is open to anyone. “You could offer a service translated or with headphones, but it’s not the same,” Lara said. “By doing (the service in Spanish), it’s going the extra mile saying that you care and that you’re important and that we’re willing to do extra stuff so that you feel loved and cared (for) and welcome.”

In Hispanic culture, Lara said Christmas Eve is typically more celebrated than Christmas Day. “So, it’s getting together, families cooking together, very much like Thanksgiving,” Lara said. “People will travel distances just to be together, even come from other countries, just to be together for the 24th.”

Expressions of truth? Commentary by Terry Anker The countless aphorisms and “old sayings” that bring color and texture to our language are a nod to the ESSAY nature of shared experience. Popular contemporary singer Beyoncé tapped into it when she brought “her ladies” to the dancefloor to admonish their significant others to do a bit of jewelry shopping. She urged them to know if they wanted to dance with them again that “they’d better put a ring on it.” One can presume that the songster was extoling the virtue to be found in marriage and monogamous relationships. Or maybe she was simply retelling the story of an earlier pop icon who crooned that “diamonds,” and not relationships, “are a girl’s best friend.” Whatever the intended message, the catchy quips stick with us, often moving us to action and committed belief. These adages demand countless virtues and some vices. We are expected to be quiet because “loose lips sink ships” and be noisy because “silence is violence.” Is

either one entirely truthful? Loyalty is demanded of us when we are told to “sleep in the bed that we made” or “dance with the one what brung us.” At some point, don’t we have to ask ourselves what it all hopes to accomplish? What exactly do we owe to those who, well, brung us? Is there a debt incurred for a dinner and a movie? Do we owe more to our alma mater than the tuition we paid for the product it delivered? Can we escape an obligation to England for the uncompensated use — some might argue, the misuse — of the language? Only if we consider the objectives behind the expressions we hold dear can we decide if Beyonce’s message rings true. Is she digging for gold or extolling traditional values? Are these clichés keys to understanding or hooks of deception?

They do what with bacon? Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Christmas morning 2023 will be a big disappointment for me. Not one of my presents will be bacon reHUMOR lated. I just know it. I used to belong to a bacon club that sent you a different type of bacon each month. My wife kept trashing the package, maybe because the name of the company was The Strip Club. Everyone loves bacon. We wrap a $50 filet in a strip of bacon to make it even better, and “No one has ever gone to see a Kevin Hot Dog movie,” comic Jim Gaffigan says. Nor would we even know what a water chestnut is if it weren’t for bacon. To get a taste of its newest gift ideas, I went to one manufacturer’s website. Its premier item is bacon shaving cream. The company suggested ordering early to be sure customers have a festive pork-scented holiday. The ad claims the shaving cream delivers “maximum bacon scent when you need it most.” When that is, I have no idea, but they had me worked into a lather just thinking about it. By the way, the company lightheartedly warns that while using this product, “You can be eaten by bears,” making some of the side effects of my Lipitor pale in comparison. Overall, I was very impressed with the company’s selection of pork-related products and its customer-friendly approach in follow-up correspondence It even asked if I’d prefer to not receive frequent email solicitations, because in the company’s words, “No one likes spam.” It had a point.

I’ll try its Bacon-Flavored Popcorn, but the idea of Spam Lip Balm makes me a little nauseous. How about a container of Bacon Infant Formula? The company claims that fat in pork is very important in the development of a newborn’s brain. The promotion was nothing but an April Fool’s joke. Yes, everyone was laughing except the 112 people who fell for this and waited by the mailbox every day, hoping the product was delivered before the baby was delivered. My favorite is the Bacon-Scented Oxygen Inhaler. You’ve had a long day at the office; you’re at the mid-point in a marathon; or suffer from COPD (chronic overt pork deficiency). Pick up your mini inhaler, hold the device up to your snout and breathe in. You’ll never be out of breath again, but you will experience periodic grunting. And, so, Christmas morning will come – DICK WOLFSIE and go. There will be no bacon salt, no bacon candles and no bacon-flavored envelopes. Not even a package of bacon-scented stickers to slap on friends who might enjoy sniffing themselves at work for a quick bacon high. I will sit at the breakfast table somewhat consoled when my wife serves a bacon quiche. I will savor several pieces. I figure she might get some gift ideas for next year if I make a pig of myself.

“The ad claims the shaving cream delivers “maximum bacon scent when you need it most.” When that is, I have no idea.”

Indianapolis Children’s Choir concerts feature European Holiday theme By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Children’s Choir concerts will have more than a touch of Europe. “This year’s PERFORMANCES concerts will bring back memories of walking around the many holiday and Christkindlmarkts throughout Europe,” said ICC Artistic Director Jose Pedde, a Carmel resident. “All of the music has its origins from a European country from Germany and England to Spain and Ukraine.” The ICC will present four performances from Dec. 15-17 at Second Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis. The European holiday-inspired performances will feature children as young as age 5, and as old as founding members of the ICC from 1986. “All the concerts have a slightly different flavor due to the age of our singers,” Pedde said. The 7 p.m. concerts Dec. 15-16 are titled “Angels Sing: A European Holiday” and feature the Indy Voice and Master Chorale. The Dec 16 evening concert is a candlelight performance. “Celebrate the Season: A European Holiday” concert at 3 p.m. Dec. 16 features Neighborhood Choir Academy, Foundations Choir, Preparatory Choirs, Jubilate Choir, Beginning Level Choirs and Master Chorale. The “Sounds of the Season: A European Holiday” is at 4 p.m. Dec. 17 and features the Lyric, Indy Voice and the Alumni Choir. “The 7 p.m. concerts are our most advanced singers and the pieces they are singing are more challenging in nature,” Pedde said. Pedde said the Dec. 16 afternoon concert features the youngest singers from the program, along with the high school division. The Dec. 17 concert includes a special set by the annual holiday alumni choir. “We had a special commission of ‘Silent Night’ and the ‘Sussex Carol’ arranged for the choir this year as well as some clas-

sics like ‘Angels We Have Heard on High’ and ‘The First Noel,’” Pedde said. This is a busy but enjoyable time for the choirs, Pedde said. “The singers always seem to love this time, not just because of the music, but because of all the special events we do during the season that bring so much joy to so many people,” Pedde said. “Although it is busy, these singers love spreading cheer throughout central Indiana. They love being together and hanging out while they wait to perform. And they get to do some really fun things from performing at the (Indianapolis) Zoo, to ‘Nutcrackers’ to tree lightings. It really is a lot of fun.” Pedde said Second Presbyterian Church is a perfect setting for this type of concert. “It is a beautiful gothic church that looks like it was picked up from Europe and dropped in Indianapolis,” Pedde said. “We do, however, add some special touches with lighting.” Westfield High School freshman Whitney

Bontrager is a member of the Indy Voice Choir. “I love the candlelight holiday concert because it reminds me of an ‘Angels Sing’ from a couple of years ago when the power went out unexpectedly,” Bontrager said. “We had to perform in the dark, but it was so much fun, and we really embraced the chaos. It brought everyone so much unexpected joy. “I love that we’re shining a spotlight on other cultures for this concert, because there are so many different ways to celebrate Christmas and they’re all unique and incredible in their own ways.” About 500 singers are slated to participate in the four concerts. “Now is a great time for interested singers to join the ICC for the second semester,” Pedde said. Pedde said those interested should see a concert and then contact the office to schedule a visit. For more, icchoir.org.

Phipps back in ‘Christmas Carol’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com For Vickie Cornelius Phipps, the role of the Ghost of Christmas Past in “A Christmas Carol” is a fitting one. MUSICAL This is the seventh time the Carmel resident has played the role in the Beef & Boards’ annual musical adapted from the Charles Dickens book “A Christmas Carol.” There is an evening show Dec. 18 and matinee shows Dec. 12, 15, 19 and 22. “It’s always a new show with a different director and actors,” Phipps said. “It simply amazes me how much this show touches people’s hearts, and it always gets me in the Christmas mood. I have played this role for other theaters, but Beef & Boards is my favorite.” Phipps said her role is usually played by a female. “The Ghost of Christmas Past tries to help Scrooge remember how his heart was once open by showing him memories of his past revisiting the people he once loved,” Phipps said. “She nurtures his frozen heart to melt and rethink his way of life. I suppose this

role is appropriate because I’m a nurturing soul. Next to ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ this is my favorite. I believe in redemption.” Indianapolis resident Mark Goetzinger portrays Ebenezer Scrooge. Westfield resident Don Farrell plays the narrator. “As actors, we are all storytellers, and what better storytelling than one of the greatest stories of all times, the beautiful tale of redemption, forgiveness, gratitude, and joy,” Farrell said. Between the performances, Farrell is appearing in “A Sinatra Christmas” at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 13 at Feinstein’s at Hotel Carmichael. For more, visit beefandboards.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Modern kitchen with classic flair in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene This former model home, built in 2015 in the Greystone neighborhood of Fishers, needed a style upgrade. Our team designed a modern yet classic space that makes the owners feel right at home.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • Alder wood perimeter cabinets with a dark stone counter add warmth and dimension to the previously white space. • Deep blue tones on the island cabinetry mixes with a light stone counter, providing balance and depth to the space. • The sleek geometric patterned backsplash provides the perfect contrast to the clean lines and natural texture of the cabinets. • A strategic material mix gives the room a modern yet classic feel — with warm brass tones on the cabinet hardware and pendants and cool steel tones on the appliances and faucets.

Larry Greene is the owner of Worthington Design & Remodeling (formerly Case). You may email him at lgreene@worthingtonindy.com or visit worthingtonindy.com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.
