The Hamilton County Federated Republican Women’s Club has awarded a $500 scholarship to Danyele Easterhaus of Westphilanthropy field. Easterhaus will use the scholarship to attend the Hamilton County Leadership Academy. “I not only felt honored but humbled by the call about winning the scholarship. I needed the financial assistance and without it, I wasn’t sure I would be able to afford the cost of the HCLA,” Easterhaus said. The HCFRW funds annual scholarships to graduating seniors in Hamilton County who have demonstrated leadership in their school activities, excellence in academics and commitment to community service. Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman funded the new scholarship to include business women who have shown the same leadership qualities in the community. Easterhaus has a bachelor’s degree in industrial technology and has led mechanical engineering projects at Delphi Automotive. She is now owner of dhaus photography, which specializes in senior and family photography in the Westfield area. “I have been an admirer of the HCLA for about two years now and have been waiting for an appropriate time to submit my application,” Easterhaus said. “I love the community of Hamilton County and Westfield and have a desire to pull all the resources together to be able to effectively grow and serve in and through the community.” Easterhaus also is the executive director of the after school program, Student Impact of Westfield, 536

N. Union St. The program serves and mentors fifth through 12th graders in Westfield to enable them to live a successful Christ-centered life as well as meet the challenges they face in a modern world. “The information and connection with not only the classmates of this 2013-2014 HCLA, but with the connections in the county have already provided Student Impact with a voice,” she said. “I think for me, I have been amazed at meeting and talking with leaders in Hamilton County and knowing that there really are officials who care, who have deep concerns for the community. There are so many programs to assist people and a variety of persons serving all over the county, and it brings me great joy in knowing I’m partnered with them in that service to others.” HCLA Executive Director Jill Doyle said the academy is a 10-month program that began with a two-day retreat in September followed by monthly educational sessions held in sites throughout the county. The sessions are designed to increase awareness of the existing institutions and leaders in the county and develop personal leadership skills. Alumni are often called upon to serve on boards of county organizations and volunteer their time for community development efforts. “I am thrilled that Danyele received a scholarship to help offset the cost of attending the Hamilton County Leadership Academy,” Doyle said. “Student Impact is a great organization and operates on a small budget. Any assistance that can be provided to our small nonprofit organizations is welcomed. We strive to have a diverse group of participants each year. Having nonprofit leaders from our community in our program is a benefit to all.”

Introducing Grand Park a process
little l bblack Dress D sEason
Commentary by Michelle Krcmery
I work for the City of Westfield and my mission is to make you aware of Grand Park. While that may seem easier public service said than done; it’s not. Grand Park is a vision, an experience that a lot of people in the community feel detached from. My job is to change that. The Progress Preview on Oct. 19 was the event meant to open that door. In the end it was a huge success, attracting approximately 3,500 people. However, getting it off the ground was harder than I thought, because a 360-acre sports park comes with some unique challenges of its own. One of those challenges: Grand Park is still a construction site. The construction schedule was packed full this fall. Due to the constantly changing conditions of an active construction site, more different considerations came up in the planning of this event than any others I’ve dealt with in the past. The goal of the event was to encourage the community to walk around the park’s many paths to see the construction progress and view sport activities taking place on the fields. Scheduling these activities required a great deal of coordination. A few times in the planning process, just when it appeared everything was coming together, there were some curve balls. In particular, Westfield experienced more rain

than originally forecasted in the days leading up to the event. While this will not be an issue once the park is complete due to the extensive drainage system, it had to be considered for the Progress Preview because the grass area between the asphalt pedestrian paths and the fields had not yet been planted and had become extremely muddy. A few days before the event, the weather forecast changed from 60 degrees and partly cloudy on event day to 50 degrees and rain. Despite the gloomy outlook, we decided to persevere. We woke up the morning of Oct. 19 to a temperature in the mid-40s and rain. However, by some stroke of luck or divine goodness, the clouds lifted as we approached the event start time and the sun made an appearance. Event time came and so did the crowds. The genuine excitement of those who attended was apparent on their faces. Many said how proud they are to have a park of this caliber in their community. All of us involved in Grand Park are also proud to be a part of such a special community that truly appreciates the idea of dreaming big and achieving a new, exciting future for their city. Michelle Krcmery is the marketing manager of Grand Park. She can be reached at mkrcmery@westfield. in.gov or 804-3157.

Opposites attract in new ATI show By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com What do an uptight, neurotic, clean freak newswriter and a carefree, worry-free, mess making sportswriter have in theatre common? Other than the writing, apparently nothing. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find that sometimes even polar opposites attract. We can all learn something from people who might not be our mirror image, but might be able to show us something about ourselves. “The Odd Couple” was written in 1965 by Neil Simon. Through Nov. 17, Actor’s Theatre of Indiana will bring the beloved characters of Oscar and Felix to life on the Studio Theater stage. The play is directed by Jeff Stockberger and stars ATI artistic director Don Farrell as Oscar and Bradley Reynolds as Felix. “This is a faithful rendition of the original stage play,” Stockberger said. “I’m treating it as a period piece, and it takes place in 1965. We pay homage to the movie as well. I want people to feel as if they’re seeing it for the first time, again.” Reynolds, an Indianapolis native, returns to Indiana after working on Broadway. “I love this show,” he said. “It’s the quintessential Neil Simon play. It’s funny, but the characters also learn from each other and grow by the end of the show. When Oscar says to Felix, ‘You’re my best friend,’ he really means it, and even though they can’t get along living together, they each

make the other a better person.” “Bradley and I have been friends in real life for so long, and we have each been each other’s Felix or Oscar over the years,” Farrell said. Other cast members include: Carrie Fedor and Katy Gentry as the British Pigeon sisters who live upstairs, and Adam Crowe, Jeremy Grimmer, Darrin Murell and Dave Ruark as the poker buddies.

Westfield chef Craig Baker to compete in World Food Championships in Las Vegas By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Local Eatery and Pub is known for its sandwiches and burgers, but it’s an item you won’t find on the menu that has Executive Chef Craig Baker competing in the World COVER STORY Food Championships Nov. 7 through 9 in Las Vegas. Baker is one of 50 chefs in the World Burger Championship, which offers a $25,000 prize purse, but his route to the contest was unexpected. Baker was asked to participate in the July 13 Baker Bull Burger Battle at Family Leisure on Pendleton Pike by the owner. “I didn’t realize the magnitude. I thought it was a local cook-off with 10 restaurants,” he said. At stake was a spot in the burger competition at the World Food Championships and a Bull Outdoor Angus grill, valued at more than $2,500. “I thought it was a fundraiser. I got there and quickly realized that was not the case,” he said. With his 10-year-old son as his sous chef, Baker used a little Coleman camping grill while other competitors had teams of six chefs and heavy-duty grills. “I thought I was going to lose,” he said. “I lost first place by a 10th of a point. I didn’t understand the rules.” Thinking he had to have his entry plated earlier, Baker’s burger absorbed the patty’s juices for 15 minutes causing a soggy bottom bun – something he has already remedied for Las Vegas. Baker’s entry was a 10-ounce bone marrow and bleu cheese-stuffed burger with onion jam and a horseradish cream. “We had it on the menu right after the competition but the cooking time was not conducive for the wait time of the restaurant,” Baker said, adding it takes more than eight minutes to cook on each side. “It was hard for us to execute.” General Manager Derek Means said the restaurant will offer the burger upon special request, however, patrons should know it may take up to 45 minutes for preparation and cooking.
His start
Baker credits his mother for his passion for cooking, which started in seventh grade. “When she went back to work she taught me how to cook,” he said. “When my parents got home my job was to have dinner ready.” As an undergrad, Baker waited tables and soon moved from the front of the house to the back. “I cooked my way through college,” he said. “As a chef you won’t make a lot but you also won’t go hungry. You can get a job in any city within three days. It may not be the job you want but it’s a job that’ll provide three square (meals) a day.” After graduation, Baker followed his passion to Portland, Ore., and into the kitchen of Assaggio, a popular authentic Italian restaurant, where he worked as chef. “At the time I was at the best restaurant in the city,” he said. Through the next19 years, Baker excelled in the industry. His first restaurant and bar, Echo, in Portland was ranked one of the city’s top 50 restaurants in 2004-2005 and one of its top 10 new bars of 2004. In 2006, Baker sold Echo to his business partner and relocated his family to Indiana. “We moved here with the intention of being closer to family,” he said. Baker enjoys blending a lot of cultures together in his food and enjoys cooking with a “top five” ingredients which includes juniper

berries and coffee - grinds or brewed. “Coffee adds depth of flavor, especially with vegetarian food. It’s a beef broth substitute,” Baker said, adding his favorite protein is pork. “If you give me a pig, I’m a happy guy.” Baker said his “death row” meal is hamburger gravy, mashed potatoes and peas - similar to Shepherd’s Pie without the cheese. “It’s the best football food ever,” he said.
The restaurant
In February 2011, Baker and Means opened The Local Eatery and Pub, focusing on farm-to-table cuisine for families. The duo met through Sun King Brewing Company founders Dave Colt and Clay Robinson. “We all talked about opening a brew pub,” Means said. “Dave and Clay decided they just wanted to produce beer but Craig and I stayed in touch … Craig is the driving factor - a lot of heart and imagination.” The restaurant’s location The “Bone Marrow was not the duo’s ideal spot and Blue Cheese because the building had

sat vacant for almost two years and there is no visibility from 146th Street. “It was a struggle,” Means said. “The light at the end of the tunnel was not development (around the shopping center) but the faith in ourselves to build something well.” Entering their third year along Gray Road, Baker and Means are optimistic about the restaurant’s future and the development coming to the surrounding area, including an apartment complex of 250 homes. “What separates us is our chef and our ingredients,” Means said. “Changing the menu keeps it fresh and change is based on what the season is and what farmers have available.” Local Eatery and Pub has 65 different food vendors and depends on local farmers for its ingredients. “We change 12 to 25 menu items every two weeks,” Baker said. “People find an item they love and then it’s gone. We bring back items that are real popular.” Basing his menu on what’s available locally is a doubleedged sword for Baker. “From the artistic end it’s great. I learn new techniques,” he said. “From the business end it can be difficult. What do we do with leftover items?”

Y O U R V I E W S In Honor of Freedom It is our position that service in the armed forces should not be taken for granted. On Veteran’s Day, we celebrate the brave men and women who have served our country in the name of freedom - some willingly, some with no choice by means of the draft. Uncle Sam was once the bearer of birthday greetings to eighteen year-old-men across the country in the form of a letter to report for service either with reservist units or called for active duty. Today, the armed forces are plagued with budget cuts and stymied recruitment efforts due to the rising obesity rate and failure of recruits to pass drug tests and keep clean criminal records. Would reinstating a draft solve these military recruitment woes? Could today’s coddled youth withstand the pressure and responsibility? Recognition and special thanks are extended to those who have served our country in the past, to the military personnel currently serving and to those brave enough to enlist to sustain the armed forces. Visit a monument, fly your American flag, attend a Veteran’s Day parade or even visit a recruitment center on this Veteran’s Day - in honor of freedom.
Being spot on Editor, This is the second time I have written to Mr. Kelly and Mr. Greenberg. This is regarding their latest article “There is no one but ourselves to blame.” My first comment to you, a while ago, was critical and you published it but since then (and almost always) you are spot on. I appreciate your candor and honesty and enjoy your publication. I read your article on Ray Cortopassi, a distant relative and friend of mine, in the Current in Zionsville and found it very interesting. He and his family are terrific. Again, I enjoy your publication and read it cover to cover. Thank you. Dick Stoffel, 46060
FROM THE BACKSHOP This is more than ‘just a tree’
Invisible chains Commentary by Terry Anker We’ve all faced it. The feeling of rejection and exclusion can be devastating. That moment when one is cut from the team, fails to get elected, doesn’t get the part or misses the promotion is one that tests both our self-confidence and our resolve to carry on. Our ability to confront the disappointment can either urge us develop skills that will ultimately deliver us to a higher level of success or lead to self-evaluation as unworthy in the most unnecessarily expansive fashion. Turn of the century animal trainers implemented the practice of chaining one leg of baby elephants to a stake in the ground. The restraint was strong enough to limit the movement of the creatures; but as the pachyderms matured their immense size and strength would have made it easy to overwhelm the constraint. Yet they did not move. With the hawser unconnected and lying on the ground, the giant creatures stayed in place as if held by an invisible force. In fact, the manacle
was often no longer connected to anything. The highly intelligent creatures remembered the feeling of restricted movement and simply stood still whenever the shackle was is in place. Younger humans seem much more resilient than we who have spent a little more time on the planet. It is hard to find a four-year old who doesn’t greet failure as a normal part of the learning process. Yet, many of our adult peers are paralyzed with anxiety about even trying to develop any new skills or move outside of our long-established comfort zones. The pain of perceived failure is real. And, one could guess that its anticipation might be the same. Do ancient scars keep us from living up to our potential today? Why are we allowing ourselves to be constrained by invisible chains?

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.
- Mark Twain
Westfield City Council President Jim Ake and the Westfield Preservation Alliance were to have dedicated a blue spruce in memory of Lewis and Hulda Estee at Union Bible College. Please don’t think, “Big deal; it’s just a tree.” No, it’s much more than that, and the act is commendable. The tree appeared doomed to a road-expansion project until a save-the-tree concert netted $1,500, which enabled the tree’s relocation and last weekend’s dedication. The city tells us that the Estees were early education leaders in Indiana. They served the students of Union Bible. Their former campus home is now the President’s House. In front of that home now stands a blue spruce of particular meaning. The spruce is a fitting nod to the community’s past. ••• Perhaps a health-insurance carrier has spurned you or someone you know recently. It simply cannot be a pleasant experience. We know a few folks who’ve endured the “rejected” treatment. We’re just wondering here, but don’t you believe it is possible that because of all the confusion and uncertainty of ObamaCare that insurance companies almost “have to” reject some folks’ attempts at renewal? After all, our illustrious leader, President Barack Obama, has done a fairly solid job of running down insurance companies (and they’re not completely innocent of all his charges) since before he campaigned for the last presidential election. He has maligned them – again, deservedly so in some instances – to the point where there’s no luster left. They’re viewed as villainous, and so their reputations are left tarnished. We further wonder whether any court would entertain a lawsuit brought by one or more carriers against the president on the grounds of damaging their brands. Yes, a lawsuit. If someone maligned your business to the point where it was affecting perception of it, and, as a byproduct, its ability to successfully engage in commerce, wouldn’t you sue for slander? Just asking.

Bullying brothers beware
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
On the way home from a recent trip to Kentucky, our middle son did something he has never done before, at least in front of humor me. He punched his older brother square in the head with full intention to hurt. Just like that, his skinny arm shot across the aisle and landed right on the temple. I saw the jab in the rearview mirror and almost crashed the van. I was in such shock that I could only exclaim, “Andrew!”, while my husband Doo literally lost his fashizite. I pulled off at the next exit so our awe-struck family could pull itself together. What had happened? Why had our sweet boy suddenly snapped? Amidst a flood of tears in the men’s restroom off I-65, he explained to Doo that he’d finally tired of being bullied by his bratty brother. That he couldn’t stand for one more second the teasing and the taunting. So he’d hit him, and hit him hard. (Lest you be concerned for the injured party, the only bruise suffered was a massive one to his ego.) Doo, in an amazing testament to his parenting skills, calmly walked Andrew through the cons of using physical violence to solve one’s problems, but then ended with “Nice shot, by the way. Don’t ever do it again, but definitely a nice shot.” It was. Back on the road, I had to stifle a giggle. How many times have I myself wanted to pop my first-born? Ten? Twenty? And that’s

just in the past week. Fifteen-year-old boys are buttheads, plain and simple. Is it any wonder that some dark part of me is still applauding my courageous seventh-grader for taking him down a peg? I am, after all, always telling my kids to stand up for themselves and not to become victims. How can I possibly be angry that one of our sons finally fought back? The weird thing is, their relationship has significantly improved since the controversial beatdown. Sure my soon-to-be driver continues to deliver condescending remarks and smart-aleck comments on a regular basis, but I have not heard any of his usual ribbing about my younger son’s height (Andrew is significantly shorter than his 6-foot brother) nor have I seen any attempts by said giant to bully his sibling off the Xbox. Our freshman has been treating Andrew more as a friend, and dare I say, with a modicum of respect. Hooray! I guess you just never really know how close someone is to his breaking point until it all explodes in one horrific, but somehow glorious, moment. Even a blow to a loved one’s big noggin can have positive results. Peace out.

Thanks but no thanks
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
Like most guys, when I walk past the magazine rack at the bookstore, I start to drool. Just yesterday I saw one cover that humor made me glad I am a healthy, normal male. There she was: perfectly proportioned, with golden skin and a great pair of legs. It was the best looking turkey I had ever seen. Obviously, there are some other attributes of the bird I could have alluded to, but I’m trying to keep this column classy. At the time, I was looking at “Food Network” magazine, the Thanksgiving edition - the perfect holiday purchase for those who don’t have a turkey of their own yet, but who want to live vicariously through others who have enjoyed tremendous success in the kitchen. The magazine is 218 pages of recipes and cooking tips, including a handful of ads for antidepressant drugs, which kind of captures the holiday spirit we all feel. Food scientists did extensive research to answer such burning questions as: how many dishes does the average host or hostess serve with the turkey? (answer: seven); do people favor pumpkin, apple, or pecan pie? (pumpkin); white wine or red? (a tie); and finally, how long is it after the meal before everyone is talking to each other again? (about two weeks). Another interesting statistic is that the average American gets up at 9 a.m. to begin the preparation for the
day. This is certainly true of my wife, Mary Ellen, because if is she is not done with her makeup by 10 a.m., we can’t make the early buffet at Embassy Suites with our friends, the Haversticks. Here’s a fascinating find: 72 percent of the country prefers lump-free mashed potatoes. Only 12 percent have ever had any. And did you know that 51 percent of T-Day diners opt for whole berry cranberry sauce and 49 percent want jellied? Celebrity cooks offer 50 tips for preparing the annual feast. Iron Chef Judy Joo suggests passing around a small blow torch for each person’s individual pumpkin crème brulees. What fun! With all the little kids around the table, what could possibly go wrong? John Shook, the chef at a favorite Los Angeles café, advises amateur cooks to always serve some old favorites for side dishes, just in case you “screw up the turkey.” My favorite tip is from Seamus Mullen, a gourmand from one of New York’s finest eateries. Seamus says to throw the leftover meat from the usually less popular legs and wings (along with some oyster stuffing) into the food processor before you go to bed that Thursday night. I ask you: Is there a better way to begin shopping on Black Friday than with a nice dark-meat turkey smoothie?

Pianist Di Wu – ‘She has fire in her playing’
By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestfield.com In all areas of her life, concert pianist Di Wu seems energized by following steep learning curves and making adjustsymphony ments as her taste and knowledge develop. When she’s cooking at home in New York, she experiments with dishes she’s sampled in her travels. “When I find something good in a restaurant, I try to do that at home,” she said by phone from a hotel in South Dakota, where she performed recently on her way to a Nov. 9 appearance with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra at the Palladium. She’s also a passionate tennis fan. She doesn’t play out of concern for her valuable wrists, but she tweeted from the U.S. Open men’s championship in September. Rooting for Novak Djokovic, looking back Wu was gracious about the man who bested him, Rafael Nadal. “Nadal played an incredible year, and he deserves the crown,” she said. “You can talk with her about anything,” marveled CSO music director David Bowden, who is working with her for the eighth time. “She’s a brilliant young lady and a fun person, and she’s voracious in her appetite for other things besides music.” Of course, it’s Di Wu’s professional course as a musician that’s foremost in his mind. Bowden first heard of her in 2005 when she won an international piano competition in Hilton Head, S.C. “A member of my Columbus artistic team … was there and called me up, ‘My goodness! You must hire her!’” he said. Four years ago, Wu was a finalist in the Van Cliburn Competition in Fort Worth, Texas, yet failed to win a prize - a jury snub considered almost scandalous by some. The Wall Street Journal’s correspondent wrote: “Nothing in recent memory has been as shocking as this year’s top prizes, which ignored the most musically mature and sensitive pianist competing in the finals.” Bowden has treasured opportunities to have the 29-year-old Chinese native as a soloist in the orchestras he directs, not only in Carmel but Terre Haute and Columbus, as well. This will be her third time playing with the CSO in the Palladium, where the audience loves her, Bowden said. “She did Rachmaninoff’s Second (Piano Concerto) in February 2012 and we’ve got a recording of it,” he said proudly. “I think it’s the very best concert we’ve ever done since I started here (in 1999).” On Nov. 9 she will play two works with the
THIS WEEK Gretchen Wilson – The modern country music icon best known for her hits, “Redneck Woman” and Homewrecker,” will bring her CARMEL hard-working and hard-partying act to the Palladium at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7. Her songs like “Here For The Party” and “When I think about Cheatin’” are gorgeously rough-edged, and it’s no wonder why she resonates strongly with fans of country and southern rock. As she takes the Palladium stage this season, she’ll give a party you won’t forget. Tickets start at $55. For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org. Follow the North Star – Encounter what life was like for runaway slaves using the Underground Railroad in this award-winning FISHERS reenactment presented by Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, 13400 Allisonville Rd. Participation includes meeting slave hunters face-to-face and witnessing the fear and hope of slaves, assisted by a Quaker family, who risked everything for freedom. This intense experience is recommended only for those 12 and older; those under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The 90-minute reenactments take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at staggered times Nov. 7 through 9. Reservations are required; call 776-6006. Prices are $20 for nonmembers and $17 for members. For more information, visit www.connerprairie.org. HCAA 63rd Annual Fall Show – This is HCAA’s annual exhibition which is held at the Hamilton East Public Library Noblesville NOBLESVILLE Branch, 1 Library Square, runs through Nov. 15 during regular library hours. All art is for sale and there also is a kids table with items available for purchase by young art enthusiasts. There will be raffle tickets available for $1 each or 6 for $5 to win an original painting. The show is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.hcaa-in.org.

orchestra, both suggested by Bowden: Franz Liszt’s Concerto No. 1 in E-flat and George Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm” Variations. “When David has a suggestion I’m always all ears,” Wu said. “I’ve been wanting to learn the Liszt piece; it’s wonderful he gave me the opportunity to perform it. And there is much to say about Gershwin. I’ve done Rhapsody in Blue, the Concerto in F and the Second Rhapsody it’s brilliant music.” Wu, who came with her mother to the U.S. in her midteens to study, offered this assessment of how she’s developed since winning the Hilton Head competition.
“I’ve got a better understanding of myself my emotional and overall strengths,” she said. “I’m more aware of what I’m doing now. If something doesn’t work, I know how to fix it. When musicians grow up, there’s a little more depth to you.” More depth doesn’t imply anything stodgy, however. “She is unbelievably exciting; she has fire in her playing,” Bowden said. “Her phrasing is so expressive and so spontaneous. When we’re in a concert playing a piece, I never know what she’s going to do and she never knows what I’m going to do - it’s so much fun. And the audience feels that and likes that.”
Family reading night – Maple Glen Elementary School will host a guest authors Todd and Cheryl Schleuning in the school’s WESTFIELD multipurpose room during its Reading Night event from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14. The Schleunings will read and sign copies of “The Misphits: Story of Snake.” The books will sell for $14.50 for this special event and $1.45 will be donated back to the school. The evening also includes a Scholastic Book Fair in the media center and fun literacy activities in the cafeteria. Boy Scout Troop 358 – This troop is celebrating 90 years of service in the Zionsville area. To commemorate this event, zionsVILLE members past and present are hosting an anniversary gala. The event will take place starting at 6 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Parish Hall at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church, 70 W. Oak St. Dinner will be served around 7 p.m. If you’re interested in purchasing tickets for this event, call 615-584-6800.

Cold-weahter foods taste good, too Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley After you have tailgated for two or three seasons, you recognize that once the weather begins to turn cold, certain foods appear more frequently on the typical tailgating menu. We decided to survey people in football stadium parking lots and on our Website www.tailgatershandbook.com to see if we could quantify the popularity of certain cold-weather foods. Here are our results for the four primary menu categories: • Main course preference: Chili 46 percent, sausage 18 percent, soup 8 percent and burgers, ribs and sandwiches 6 percent. • Side dish favorite: baked beans 21 percent, dips & dippers 20 percent, chili 9 percent, cheese 7 percent and potato salad 6 percent. • Desert choice: cookie bars 43 percent, cake 13 percent, pie 6 percent and candy 5 percent. • Drink favorites: coffee 35 percent, cocoa 33 percent, hot cocktails 17 percent and beer 16 percent. If you want to try one of our favorite warm cocktails, here’s a simple recipe for delicious buttered rum sent in by Bill Paige. It smells like hot apple pie and tastes even better.
TITLE SPONSOR
Hot Buttered Rum Ingredients (serves six): • 8 ounces good dark rum • 23 ounces apple cider • 3 cinnamon sticks • 1 clove • 3 tablespoons butter • 1 squeeze fresh lemon juice Directions: Heat the mixture about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil - just get it to a simmer and then pour into a thermos to take to the game. Be sure to serve in white mugs or cups so that nobody ingests a surprise cinnamon stick or clove. Have pats of butter available if someone wants an extra as a topping and enjoy.

The Palladium will be kickin’ on Nov. 10 when bluesy rocker Jonny Lang takes the stage on his “Fight for my Soul” tour. music Lang has a loyal following across diverse genres and his fans are young and old. He is a musician’s musician, adept at playing a variety of guitars while passionately digging for the deepest meaning in his lyrics. “Blew up (the House)” is the first single to be released from his album “Fight for my Soul,” his first new release in seven years. His hits include “Wander this World” and “Lie to Me.” The Fargo, N.D., native debuted his first album at age 16. Equally at home in the rock and blues worlds, he has shared the stage with the Rolling Stones, B.B. King, Aerosmith and Sting. Lang won a Grammy in 2007 for his album “Turning Around,” but left the major label scene behind after that to become an independent artist. “Fight for my Soul” is a collaboration with producer Tommy Sims, who co-wrote Eric Clapton’s Grammy-winning song “Change the World.” Of the “Fight for my Soul” album, Lang said, “This is an album that I’ve been wanting to make for a long time. There’s a lot going on inside of me. I want to share some stories: personal struggles, injustices I have seen, stories people can relate to. You can’t put it into one genre.” Lang comes to Carmel following performances

An evening of laughter, love
By Karen Kennedy • karenk@yoaurecurrent.com
Dominic Sheahan-Stahl knows first-hand what it feels like to be discriminated against. A Michigan native from a tradimusic tional Irish-Catholic family, he graduated from Sacred Heart High School and then went off to New York to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. After making his living successfully in the performing arts for 12 years, he was invited to return to his high school alma mater to give a keynote speech. Sheahan-Stahl’s appearance was cancelled after he made an openly gay personal announcement on Facebook. Although he was deeply hurt by the event, he took it as a sign that he needed to take action. He created the “Live through Love” Foundation, which works to raise awareness of discrimination of openly gay students and awards an annual scholarship. Sheahan-Stahl also has created a benefit concert series called “Dream in Color” to fund the foundation. Sheahan-Stahl, who lives in New York City, is currently playing the role of Marius in Beef and Boards’ production of “Les Miserables.” He will present the concert at Beef and Boards on Nov. 11. His goal is to present the concert in all 50 states. Indiana is the third, and he will take the show to Florida in January. Colleagues from across the United States will

participate in the concert. Local singers and actors will be featured as well, including Gary Life, who was most recently seen as King Charles in Civic Theatre’s production of “Pippin.” “All of the songs will be about love, overcoming a struggle or celebrating individuality,” SheahanStahl said. “Many different genres of music will be represented and it will be an evening filled with laughter, fun and love.” “Dream in Color” Benefit • Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre • 9301 Michigan Rd., Indianapolis • Nov. 11 • $10 suggested donation; cash bar • For more information visit www.livethroughlove.org.

System-wide staff reductions will affect Franciscan Alliance’s 11 hospitals and health facilities in Indiana as the health system business responds to the transformative shift in hospital economics. Officials said 275 employees or 1.4 percent of the workforce will be laid off as a result of the reduction. Franciscan Alliance has approximately 20,000 employees. Officials said the healthcare industry is changing rapidly and economic pressures are forcing substantive changes in the field, including reduced reimbursements, new payer models, healthcare reform laws and shifts from inpatient to outpatient care. “Franciscan Alliance has not been immune to such pressures and has found it necessary to align staffing levels to reflect lower patient volumes and reduced industry-wide reimbursements brought on by reforms associated with the Affordable Care Act,” stated Kevin Leahy, Franciscan Alliance president and CEO. “Recent trends and the new law are challenging healthcare providers to manage the continuum of care for patients more efficiently and effectively to ensure the same quality outcomes at reduced reimbursement levels.”
Like other health systems, Franciscan Alliance must cut its costs of care delivery over the next three years by 15 to 20 percent ($375 to $500 million) to remain viable. In addition to the 275 job cuts, another 650 full-time equivalent positions will be eliminated by cutting back on assigned hours, closing open positions, retirements and through attrition. Leahy said the remaining 19,000 employees will see cutbacks in benefits in 2014. These cutbacks include the elimination of the 1.5 percent employer match to the 403b retirement savings program, elimination of the PTO buy-back program, higher employee contributions for healthcare insurance, no salary increases for management, and a new defined benefit/defined contribution pension for all co-workers not vested by Jan. 1 in the defined benefit pension plan. Officials said the cost savings from these, and other recent pay practice changes, will help preserve hundreds of other jobs which otherwise would have to be eliminated. “We are profoundly aware of the impact our decisions have on the lives of our co-workers and their families,” Leahy stated. “Those whose jobs will be affected by the workforce reduction will be provided with severance, extended health insurance where eligible, and outplacement assistance.”

Weigh insurance plans carefully Commentary by Jamie Ianigro
Question from Rick A. from Fishers: I currently get health insurance for my family through my employer. I know changes Insurance are coming from health reform, but is there anything particular that I need to worry about? Response from Jamie Ianigro: Health reform has a lot of folks concerned and confused. The main piece of the legislation that will affect nearly everyone is the individual mandate that requires you to buy health insurance. If you like the insurance that your employer provides, you are considered covered and can stick with that program. You may also be able to switch to publicly available coverage eventually if you choose, but all that is still being figured out. Any employer health plan you currently have qualifies as minimum essential coverage. You don’t need to change to a publicly available plan in order to avoid the fee that uninsured people may have to pay for 2014. If you’d like to explore publicly available coverage options, you can, but there are several important things to consider. With most employer health insurance plans, your employer pays a portion of your premiums. Your employer does not need to make a contribution to
your premiums if you switch away from their plan. You should consider this carefully before comparing your current plan to publically available plans. If you decide to check out publically available plans, be aware that you may not qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs, even if your income would qualify you otherwise. Whether you qualify for lower costs will depend on what kind of coverage your employer offers. If your job-based coverage is considered affordable and meets minimum value, you won’t be able to get lower costs on premiums or outof-pocket costs in the marketplace. This is true no matter what your income and family size are. Your employer can tell you whether the insurance plan it offers meets minimum value and help you determine whether the plan is considered affordable for you. You can also contact your independent insurance agent if you have further questions or if you lose your employer’s insurance plan and need to see what is available.

DISPATCHES Getting an FHA loan more difficult New requirements for Federal Housing Administration-approved mortgages took effect last week, presenting potential roadblocks for home buyers with collections or judgments in their credit histories. While lenders have recently been able to take significant economic events into account in processing loan applications, the changes are a step in the opposite direction for loan accessibility. The Department of Housing and Urban Development issued mortgage letters Aug. 15 instructing lenders to add collections accounts and judgments to an applicant’s debt-to-income ratio, one of the qualifying standards for an FHA loan. Loans made on and after Oct. 15 must follow these guidelines. Source: MSN Money
New guidelines aim to help financial caregivers - Many people don’t have experience acting as a fiduciary, or a financial caregiver for a loved one. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau published a series of guidelines to help agents and others make sure they’re following the rules, so the elderly counting on them are properly protected. The “Managing Someone Else’s Money” guides - four in all, depending on the legal situation that results in you having responsibility for someone else’s finances - are available for free at www. consumerfinance.gov/managing-someone-elses-money. They will also be distributed to banks, social service agencies and Area Agencies on Aging. Source: New York Times Electronic flights – Airplane travelers will soon be able to watch videos and play games with their electronic devices throughout their entire flight – and not just above a certain altitude – the Federal Aviation Administration announced Oct. 31.

Capuchin Crypt: Rome’s haunting bone church Commentary by Don Knebel
If your Halloween experience was not all you had hoped for, consider spending next year in Rome’s “Capuchin Crypt.” lifestyle This so-called “Bone Church” is, without a doubt, the most haunting chapel in the world. The Capuchin friars split from the Franciscans in 1520 to restore what they considered St. Francis’ lost ideals of poverty and service, adopting the brown robes and pointed hoods associated with the poor. In about 1631, the Capuchins left their monastery near Rome’s Trevi Fountain and moved to the Capuchin Church of the Immaculate Conception, carrying with them 300 carts filled with the disinterred bones of deceased friars. For reasons still unknown, the Capuchin friars did not rebury their departed colleagues, but instead arranged their bones in intricate patterns along the walls and ceilings of a small chapel beneath the church. As friars died, survivors added their bones to the elaborate displays. The larger bones were arranged by type, creating a pelvis room, a leg and thigh bone room and a room of skulls. Smaller bones became floral and geometric designs, wall clocks and chandeliers. In some rooms, intact skeletons were propped upright and covered with musty robes, eerily recalling the Grim Reaper. When the practice stopped in 1870, the chapel walls and ceilings
“Skull Room in Rome’s Capuchin Chapel” (Photo by Don Knebel)
were covered with more than 500,000 bones of 3,700 Capuchins from all over the world and the Italian poor they had served. The earliest known description of the Capuchin Crypt comes from the Marquis de Sade, who wrote after a visit in 1775 that it was “worthy of an English mind” and he had never “seen anything more impressive.” In the nineteenth century, the crypt was open to the public only during the week following All Souls Day, two days after Halloween. Today, the Capuchin Crypt is open year round

Near the last room is a sign in five languages reading, “What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be.” If that thought doesn’t scare you, nothing will.

HOW TO: BEACH HAIR ALL YEAR LONG The weather may be getting colder but you can still have that tousled, “just back from the beach look” no matter what the temperature. Follow this guide to help create this look even on the cold, wintery days! Prep Wash hair as normal and wrap hair in a towel to absorb extra moisture. Spray Spray damp hair with Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray (found at Salon 01). The sea salt will add the texture necessary to hold a natural curl. Style Using a "Curls Like Us" towel (we stock them), gently scrunch the hair to add volume and enhance your natural curl. Set For the best result, allow hair to air-dry naturally, and then touch it up with a curling iron if necessary. If you’re pressed for time and need to blow dry, use a wide tooth comb to pick up hair at the roots and blow dry, roots to ends, with high heat. Shine Rub a drop of Salon 01 Shine drops through the ends of your hair for a polished finish! Heard of Deva Curl? If not, schedule an appointment with a Salon 01 Deva Curl specialist to learn all about the newest tips and tricks for your curly locks.

TRY THIS LOOK! We think a sultry, smoky look for your eyes is a great way to go glam for an evening event. Follow these steps to achieve this look: 1. Prep your eye area by applying a touch of concealer to your upper and lower lids. Set the concealer with a brush of loose powder. 2. Line your eyes with a firm eye pencil. “Stay as close to the base of the lashes as possible,” says Salon 01 Makeup Artist Kelly Lohrman. “Once lined, use your finger or small brush to gently smudge the liner up towards the creases of your eye. For a dramatic and bold effect, repeat on your bottom lashline.” 3. Set the liner with another swipe of translucent powder again. This will also soften the effect and keep the liner from smudging. 4. Add a dark, matte eye shadow to the lids, blending toward the creases. Pick black for a traditional smoky eye, or use a color like green or purple for a more modern look. 5. Don’t forget to finish off with a couple coats of volumizing mascara. For more makeup tips and for help finding the makeup shades that are right for you, stop in Salon 01 for a makeup consultation and lesson. LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER Learn to love a leave-in conditioner! Using a light spritz everyday helps protect your hair from damage caused by the sun and styling tools. Cold weather dries out your hair too, so not only will a leave-in conditioner protect your hair, it will keep it healthy through the winter months. Salon 01 stocks a great variety of these conditioners, such as Aquage Hydrating Mist and Biominoil Leave In Treatment. Stop in and speak with a knowledgeable professional today!

Keep your curb appeal current Commentary by Randy Sorrell Establishing stunning curb appeal is always a relevant topic and is often established with a number of creative strategies. Our favorites include updated hardware on freshly painted doors, tasteful coach lamps, and oversized urns filled with outdoors bright annuals or evergreens for the winter, smothered in red berries. This classic front entry didn’t start that way and needed another one of our preferred methods of creating curb appeal. The previous concrete surface was tired and not an accurate reflection of the rest of the very upscale Geist home. The retired homeowners were anxious for ways to dress up the front, increase the safety of the steps and provide a sense of place - or a feeling that you have arrived someplace special. Irrelevant Short-Term Trends Gratefully, the door threshold was 3 inches higher than the existing concrete. This difference opened up several creative alternatives. Those few inches, coupled with the integrity of the existing concrete, allowed the concrete to remain, saving $2,500 in removal and recycling charges. After considering clay pavers, travertine and limestone, our landscape architect and homeowners agreed that full color Pennsylvania bluestone (slate) in a random pattern was the best material. Installed on a bed of mortar with mortar joints, this stunning combination will persevere for decades and will be a relevant and stylish material that will confidently withstand irrelevant short-term trends. We were thrilled with the hand-selected range of colors in the slate. The tans, browns and rusts pulled in subtle colors from the brick, while the vibrant blues and grays offered dramatic contrasts. Our 2nd phase (scheduled for spring 2014) will echo the same materials in a tucked away back yard patio where Jane and Brian can quietly escape to for appreciated private time. Let your front entry make a grand statement!
