Secret Families returns By Anna Skinner “ P]]P/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ After a successful start in 2014, Secret Families of Hamilton County will return for a second year of bringing Christmas to HOLIDAYS underprivileged families. The nonprofit works with local school principals and counselors to find families who will not be able to have a Christmas celebration. Secret Families raises funds to spend $550 per family. “We call and interview the family and get the names of everyone in the household and their sizes and what their needs are and what the younger kids like,� said Tom Flanagan, executive director and “head elf� of Secret Families of Hamilton County. “We stress that we serve needs not wants. Every family member gets a bag of wrapped presents purchased and wrapped specifically for them, a decorated live Christmas tree, a bible and a $50 Meijer gift card.� Secret Families of Hamilton County does all their shopping at the Noblesville Meijer.

Holidays are full of busy times for families, so Union Friends Church, 533 S. Union St., is implementing a new ChristCHRISTMAS mas program with hopes of still attracting those busy families. “It’s a busy time of year, and we wanted to do something that people could do quickly and conveniently but also portray the message of Christmas, so we put Stetler together a story line that talks about peace,� Kenny Stetler, youth pastor, said. The program takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. Dec. 12 and 13. It won’t even require visitors to get out of their cars, as it will be in a drivethru fashion. There will be greeters at the entrance providing cookies, milk and a five-track CD to place in car stereos. The tracks are each three to five minutes and visitors will proceed through the program, where actors at each station will pantomime what the visitors are hearing on their CDs. The story follows a man in the military who

This play is about thanking the people who allow us to live in peace at Christmas time like our servicemen and women,� Stetler said.

Appreciating city employees Commentary by Erin Murphy

We have such wonderful, thoughtful and caring city employees that serve our community. SERVICE Recently, two employees in the Public Works Dept. helped a resident from a potentially dangerous situation, and it was out of pure goodness. Scott Thompson and Ren Waiter were returning back to work after going out on a supply run. The two were driving down Oak Road when they noticed a garbage can had fallen over and it was blocking part Thompson of the road. Thompson and Waiter decided to stop and pick up the garbage can, and that was when they saw an elderly man pinned underneath the overflowing can. Thompson and Waiter helped him to his feet and Waiter contacted his family to let them know the circumstances. It seems the resident had slipped and fallen and the trash can fell on top of him, and he couldn’t get himself free. The resident refused medical treatment, but Thompson and Waiter were there until the family came to assist. They are just two out of the 220 Westfield employees that serve our community day in and day out. I am confident every single one of them would have done the same as Thompson and Waiter, but it is nice to hear during such tumultuous times a positive story about people helping people.

Westfield resident Edward Keene, 87, just published his autobiography “We Never Knew It.� ?W^c^ Qh 0]]P BZX]]Ta

Hurry! Order by December 19!

A lifetime of experiences led to the inspiration of Edward Keene’s autobiography, “We Never Knew It.� BOOK The Westfield resident began writing the book that told of his life experiences 25 years ago when he retired, but then the story lay dormant. The book was put away until one of Keene’s daughters took a job with a book publishing company and he seized his chance. The story then took three months to finish. “I was born in 1928. My first chapter is 1932 and the rest of the book is year by year up until 1951, which is the year that I graduated from Syracuse and got married,� the 87-yearold said. “The whole book is about how (my generation) made it a better world,� Keene said. “Then I went on in epilogue to write about what my kids had accomplished and how they were making this a much better world. The book is all about going from a terrible beginning to a much better ending and how we can go from bad to good.� Although it is an autobiography, Keene said his story reads like a novel due to elements of romance, heartbreak, success, murder and closure. He said he wrote the book to show that a bad beginning can lead to a good ending and inspire others to do good things. “It describes the ’30s and ’40s in great detail,� Keene said. The book takes place in western and central New York and details the Great Depression followed by World War II. Keene will be hosting two book signings, Dec. 12 at the Westfield Washington Public Library and Dec. 19 at the North Ridge Retirement Home, both starting at 2 p.m. Keene said one of his most prized possessions is the portrait of him on the back cover of the book, which was painted by his son.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Ring in 2016 at Palladium

We know from independent marketplace research that arts, entertainment and dining are of upmost importance to our readers. For that reason, when the opportunity arose to help sponsor the New Year’s Extravaganza at the Palladium on the campus of the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, we jumped at the chance. And so it is that the Palladium will be the venue Dec. 31 for parties, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres throughout the site and live entertainment, including local favorites The Bishops, Flatbed Twitch, as well as karaoke by P3 Productions. After whetting your appetite with all that, you will enter the main performance area to be treated to a main-stage concert by The Hot Sardines, a high-energy band featuring unique and vintage dancehall stylings. The Sardine are “one of the best jazz bands in New York today,� states Forbes magazine, while The Guardian reports, “The charismatic front-runners of vintage jazz play big halls as if they’ve just dropped in to a party.� As the Palladium says, it’s going to be a guaranteed bash. Tickets include champagne, two drink vouchers, hors d’oeuvres, the concert and all the preliminary festivities! As of press time, ticket prices were starting at $100. Those may be purchased at thecenterpresents.org. If you have a group of 12 or more revelers, ticket purchases may be arranged by calling the box office at 819.3503. We hope you’ll be a part of the party that we’re only too pleased to support. In concert with the festivities, our partner, Renaissance Indianapolis North Hotel, is offering a four-course dinner for two as a prelude and an overnight stay as a postlude for $230. You may make a reservation at aws.passkey.com. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

The easy button

Commentary by Terry Anker

The office supply giant Staples is well into an advertising run extolling the ease with which we can order, restock and manage our need for paper, pens and printer ink refills. In the campaign, various users are imagined to be confronted with an office supply dilemma and they push a big red “easy� button wherein the problem is instantly resolved and the challenge is successfully confronted. The ads have proven so successful that the retailer is now offering mock-ups of the easy button at its stores. And, they are selling quite well. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such a device? Whenever we are confronted with the travails of ordinary adult life, we could simply push the button and all would be made simple. Sipping a cup of coffee while reviewing this column would have required extraordinary effort only a few generations ago. Getting the coffee was almost impossible. Then, heating it required the collection of wood and the tending of the fire.

Today, we push a button and Nespresso delivers a perfect, steaming cup from coffee delivered to our doors. We could call it the easy button. If life can be tamed from chaos to sublime by the mere press of finger, what other annoyances might we relegate to buttondom? Is the television remote control a device that we can use to remove us from irritating or offensive humans? Can we click “delete� on our computers to retire email that complicates or mires our lives? Is it possible that the “easy� button is already there but that we don’t make use of it? Sure, an office supplier cannot solve all of our problems with an imaginary button. But, it can show us that the solution to many of our worries is already available if we simply know to take action. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Failing and laughing at our own shortcomings are the hallmarks of a sane parent. ° 9X\ 6PUUXVP]

Low expectations, my friends. That’s what we all need to have heading into the Christmas festivities if we are HUMOR to survive the next few weeks. Don’t plan the perfect dinner, don’t anticipate a healthy household and don’t count on content children. You can hope for the best, sure, but only if you expect the worst will you guarantee yourself a satisfactory holiday season. Thanksgiving provided a good test site for my new underachieving mantra. Because the Wilson family six-pack would be staying with my parents, I knew I wouldn’t be sleeping much and that downtime would be at a premium. I also understood that the 2015 turkey feast would comprise of an unusual hodge-podge of relatives, including an 86-year-old ex-dancer on oxygen, my sister’s new boyfriend, and two sets of uncles and aunts whom I only see once a year. And, just to make things a little more interesting, none of my other three sisters would be there with their spouses to provide conversation buffering and/or assistance. Needless to say, my expectations of an ideal Thanksgiving were extremely low. So when my youngest’s cold turned into a marathon fever and cough fest, it was honestly no big deal. When my dad and sister cheated on our pledge to wait and see “Mockingjay� together, I rolled with it. And when Aunt Doris the Dancer regaled us with tales of teaching ballroom lessons after working all day at the American Tobacco Company, I was extraordinarily entertained. Overall, a pretty nice Thanksgiving. With Christmas and New Year’s approaching, I am now prepping myself for more illness, disappointed teenagers, dog intestinal issues and at least one person over-imbibing at some party. I’m also planning on rain, a power outage, a minimum of two tree disasters and an impressive argument with my husband Doo. Maybe I’ll get lucky this year and none of these potential holiday derailments will come to fruition. But if they do, they won’t be ruining my holidays. Why? Because I’m expecting the worst, and therefore can only be pleasantly surprised. I suggest you do the same. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Time again to save you the trouble of reading through this year’s holiday edition of the â€œHammacher SchlemHUMOR merâ€? catalog. These are actual gift selections from their brochure. See the complete list at www.currentincarmel.com. The Best Talking Watch: This is the perfect gift for people who find it inconvenient or troublesome to have to actually look at their watch. You’re in your car, one arm around your lover, the other hand texting, another holding a cup of coffee, and still another might be on the steering wheel. Don’t jeopardize your safety by glancing at your watch. The Only Heated Outdoor Cat Shelter: According to HS, this shelter keeps your cat warm in the winter and cool in the summer. “There is no reason for your little feline friend to ever go in your house,â€? says the manufacturer. So I have a question: Why do you have a cat? The Darth Vader Pancake Maker: The stateof-the-art thermostat ensures that each pancake or waffle will be a golden brown and cooked in the shape of Darth Vader. But be

warned if you overcook your waffle, breakfast guests will say their food is a little Chewie and showing its dark side. The Single-handed Barber: The typical affluent HS shopper will love the idea of giving himself a haircut. On the Internet, buyers comment it’s a great product but requires practice. Who do you practice on? Don’t worry, if you have compliant children to humiliate, the kit includes two baseball caps. The GPS Homing Device: This is a device for people who travel, so they can find their way back to their hotel. I mean, really, only a total loser would need one of these. My wife is getting me one. Finally, the Table-top Fireplace: Provides all the sights and sounds of a real fire, but the whole thing is 100 percent fake – the perfect gift for your friend who is romancing that cute inflatable doll.

The Hot Sardines bring unique jazz blend to New Year’s Eve By Mark Ambrogi “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ The Hot Sardines feature their own spin on hot jazz and jazz standards. “We have a love affair with all COVER the pop music from the first half of the last century,� singer Elizabeth Bougerol said. “We play jazz that goes back as early as the 1910s and goes as late as the 1950s. It’s old music but we’re definitely playing it in 2015.� Bougerol, known as Miz Elizabeth, and Evan “Babs� Palazzo are the co-founders of the group. The Hot Sardines will be the featured performers at New Year’s Eve at the Palladium. “This music has a lot of spirit and there is something a little magical about New Year’s Eve,� Bougerol said. “It will be fun way to ring in 2016. We believe music should move you and we have a lot of love for the early days of jazz and American popular song. Those are the two points on the map. We’re playing music and we’re on a stage. The tap dancer is not just a percussionist. He’s a visual part of the show. You don’t hear this kind of jazz too often any more. This is sort of our Valentine to the songs of that era and the joy of playing them live for audience.“ Bougerol said their live performances are always evolving.  “You are never going to play the same song (the same way) twice,� she said. “There is a lot of fertile ground between 1900 and 1950 so we’ve definitely evolved in terms of adding more repertoire and bigger arrangements. We’re an eight-piece band with a three-piece horn section, so that gives us a lot to play

with. We’re constantly finding new material from the first half of the last century. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface.� Bougerol and Palazzo met at a jazz jam in 2007 that was advertised on Craigslist. Bougerol said they connected musically right away with many of the same loves. “There were a lot of the same people that we musically admired,� Bougerol said. “We never intended to start a band. Each of us was just trying to find one other person to

explore this love of music with.� Bourgerol and Palazzo were not professional musicians at the time. “He had taught himself piano, and I sang mostly in the shower,� Bougerol said. “I had done one or two high school musicals, but beyond that, I never sang outside my apartment.� The other members of the band were all trained musicians. “We learn so much from them every day,� she said.

Co-hosts continue Beef & Boards tradition 1h <PaZ 0\Qa^VX “ \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Deb Wims describes Kenny Shepard as her partner in crime. In actuality, they are partners in Christmas cheer. Wims and Shepard serve as co-hosts of “A Beef and CHRISTMAS Boards Christmas.â€? It’s the 17th show for Wims and 22nd for Shepard, who calls it “our Christmas tradition.â€? “Kenny is one of my oldest and dearest friends,â€? said Wims, an Indianapolis resident. “I’ve known him since I was 19 years old. It is such a special show for me.â€? “A Beef & Boards Christmasâ€? will run through Dec. 23. “When I started doing the show, I lived in New York, and I wanted an excuse to come home for the holidays because I grew up in Indianapolis,â€? said Shepard, a Fishers resident. “I moved back here 12 years ago. It’s (the show) like a second family. It’s a nice little reunion.â€? Wims said the show is always a little bit different each year. “But it’s very traditional that when people come, there are some things that can count on seeing or hearing,â€? Wims said. Shepard and Wims do several song-and-dance numbers together in this, and usually do two or three other musicals a year together. “This is my favorite time of year and my favorite thing to do at Beef & Boards,â€? Wims said. One of the highlights of the show for the audience and cast members is the rich powerful voice of Kendra Lynn Lucas, who sings several favorites such as “Let it Snow.â€?

Shopping for a tailgater By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley This is the season when we begin to struggle with our shopping lists and invitations, aggravated by December’s iffy weather. We need to remind ourselves there are people in our lives who are worth this trouble, and people to whom we are worth the same. Think about that tailgater on your list. We’re writing about the guy/gal on your list with a smile almost as broad as his or her heart. The one who is generous to a fault, making sure every guest and even occasional passersby gets something to eat and drink. There are two ways to shop for a real tailgater. First is the practical way, which is finding some piece of equipment you think he or she wants. The second way to shop is to buy something extravagant that can be enjoyed by any tailgater at any time. I always like the chocolate candy items that are a bit unusual but useful at any time of the year, especially Christmas. Sure one might see them at a tailgate party, but they are great at a Christmas or New Year’s party or any gathering when one wants to serve something special. The South Bend Chocolate Company has collegiate-licensed chocolate candy for both Notre Dame and IU fans. There are chocolate dome-shaped truffles called Domers. They also have Rocknes, which are chocolates with coconut, almonds and a cherry flavor. They also make chocolate-coated fancy mixed nuts called Nuts for ND, or for Indiana fans, Nuts for IU. Checkout their website at www.sbchocolate.com for viewing and possibly ordering online. Back home during the Christmas season we are featuring some special treat recipes

that you can enjoy and make for little gifts for friends. Here is one of our favorites.

Colombian Coconut Rice

Commentary by Ceci Martinez

Christmas is the most joyous celebration of the year in Latin America. After attending midnight mass everybody rushes home for “La cena de Navidad� - Christmas dinner. Impress your family and guests this holiday season with a dish that has all the amazing Latin flavors of Cartagena, Colombia. Colombian Coconut Rice is a savory-sweet recipe with a delicate and subtle aroma of coconut and couldn’t be easier to prepare! This rice goes well with meat, fish and/or vegetables. Note: Coconut oil isn’t just for cooking. It is packed full of health and beauty-enhancing ingredients. The magic behind this oil is MCFA (medium-chain fatty acids). MCFAs, unlike LCFA (long-chain fatty acids) found in vegetable oil, have anti-microbial properties which are easier to digest and boost your energy level. Serves: 6 Ingredients: “ 2 tablespoons coconut oil “ 1 teaspoon salt “ 1 tablespoon garlic “ 3 tablespoons brown sugar “ 2 cups organic coconut milk “ 2 cups water

Colombian Coconut Rice pairs well with meat, fish and vegetables and can be a good Christmas dish. ?W^c^ Qh 2TRX <PacX]Ti

“ 2 cups high quality long grain rice (washed well) “ 1/2 cup raisins Directions: In a large saucepan over medium heat, put coconut oil, salt, garlic and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add coconut milk and water and increase heat to medium high until milk/ water starts boiling; add rice, raisins and stir to combine. Put lid on, bring rice to a simmer and cook until water evaporates, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Dobbs launches Jazzercise, Inc. By Anna Skinner “ P]]P/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ With the New Year fast approaching, gym subscriptions are a big hit. However, Westfield resident Susan Dobbs brings EXERCISE a different type of exercise with her new franchise Jazzercise, Inc., 13645 N. Meridian St., Carmel, which held its grand opening last month. Dobbs previously taught jazzercise classes at Christ United Methodist Church in Westfield and by the Carmel License Branch. However, when a Carmel woman decided to sell her business, Dobbs jumped to the idea. Jazz dance, hip hop, Pilates, yoga and kickboxing are all combined in one Jazzercise workout. Dobbs said each of her 60-minute workouts feature cardio and strength training, using all genres of music to keep the class fun and interesting. “When you hear jazzercise, you think legwarmers and leotards, right? Or a workout for your mom, but not for you? We admit that our workouts got so popular in the ’80s that we created a fitness revolution that people still

Blueprint for Improvement: Traditional master bath with a fresh look Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS:

After

The goal was to achieve increased visual space, light and functionality. 1. White cabinetry replaced the dated oak cabinetry, increasing storage and function. 2. The tub was shifted to allow for additional storage space. 3. The shower wall was replaced with clear glass to increase light and visual expansion into the shower. 4. The toilet room door was relocated to make wall space for the new towel warmer. 5. Additional recessed can lights and decorative light fixtures were incorporated into the design.

Before Background Info: This English Tudor home in the Queens Manor subdivision in Carmel was built in 1994. The master bathroom remodel kept with the style of the home, while giving it a fresh, updated look!

BEFORE PROBLEMS:

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may e-mail him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before and after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

The master bathroom footprint was sufficient, but the functionality and aesthetics were lacking. The dated oak cabinetry, bulky tub and dark enclosed shower made the bathroom feel much smaller than it actually was.

Brussels’ Fountain of Youth Commentary by Don Knebel Many first-time visitors to Brussels, Belgium, immediately seek out its most famous symTRAVEL bol, a statue named “Manneken Pis,� Dutch for “little boy pee.� This irreverent two-foot-tall statue may explain why Brussels is often called the “Capital of Europe.� No one knows when the first statue of a naked boy urinating into a basin was first erected two blocks southwest of Brussels’ Gothic town hall. References to a stone statue in that location appear as early as 1450. Numerous legends attempt to explain why such a statue would have been erected, some claiming a little boy relieving himself miraculously saved the city. What is known is that a local sculptor replicated the stone statue in bronze in 1619. In the ensuing nearly 400 years, Manneken Pis has been stolen repeatedly, most recently in the 1960s, after which the recovered statue was placed in a Brussels museum and a replica installed in its place. After Manneken Pis was stolen by a French soldier Manneken Pis in Brussels, Belgium. ?W^c^ Qh 3^] :]TQT[ in 1745, King Louis XV made the little statue a knight and required passand NATO because of the light-heartedness ing French soldiers to salute. and self-deprecation reflected in Manneken Several times each week, workers dress Pis.
