Bentley Zionsville sells new car franchise By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com After more than four decades, Bentley Zionsville has announced it will no longer sell Bentley cars. TOWN NEWS Because of Bentley franchise requirements, the Zionsville dealership’s automobile franchise has been sold to Coast to Coast Imports Collection, 9450 N. Aronson Rd., which will change its name to Bentley Indianapolis, said Greg Albers, co-owner of Albers Motorcars. The Zionsville dealership will change its name from Bentley Zionsville to Albers Motorcars and will continue to offer independent service and parts for Bentley cars more than 10 years old as well as Crewe-built Rolls-Royce cars up to 2002 models. Albers declined to share how much the franchise was sold for. Albers’ father, Hermann, opened the Zionsville dealership in 1963 as a service and parts point for Rolls-Royce and Bentley Cars. In 1969, it became Albers Rolls-Royce, Indiana’s sole franchise dealership for Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars, according to

Albers, who co-owns the dealership with his brother, Mark. It represented both brands as a small boutique dealership until the brands split in 2003, and the dealership was forced to choose to represent only one of the brands because its facilities could not accommodate the demands of both manufacturers. The owners changed the dealer-
ship’s name to Bentley Zionsville. According to Albers, in 2004, Bentley’s new owners made it clear small boutique Bentley dealerships such as Bentley Zionsville would be phased out because they did not fit within their vision for the future of the company. “Bentley and Rolls-Royce split, and Bent-

ley basically came in and told us, in the end, they were going to be building a lot more cars, and they were no longer going to (continue) what they called cottage industries or small dealerships,” Albers said. “So for the past 20 years, we have sort of seen this coming.” Albers said for the dealership to have continued selling new cars, it would have needed to build a larger facility, which would have required a move. The Albers brothers believed increasing demands from the manufacturer made it clear they could not continue to operate as a small boutique operation. “We decided it was not in our best interest economically to go build a $5 million or $6 million building,” Albers said. “It’s sort of bittersweet in that this is what I’ve done since I was a kid. It’s tough to let go of something like that. You try to make the best decisions you can, and I think for us, at our age, this is probably the best decision for us. It’s a way for us to continue to stay in town and work with the classic Rolls and Bentleys, which we really love to do.” The siblings will continue to co-own Albers Motorcars and will retain its eight employees.

Zionsville Town Council approves funds for crosswalk at County Road 975 E., Oak Ridge Drive By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council has approved funds for a crosswalk across the northern leg of the interINFRASTRUCTURE section at County Road 975 E. and Oak Ridge Drive as part of the town’s plan to evaluate where other crosswalks might be needed. During a Nov. 15 meeting, the council approved an additional appropriation of $9,000 to fund installation of the mid-block crosswalk. Zionsville Dept. of Public Works Director Lance Lantz said a mid-block crosswalk is “a location marked for pedestrians to cross where traffic is not required to stop due to existing traffic control devices.” Lantz told the council Indiana law states a vehicle has the right-of-way when pedestrians wait at a crosswalk and the location met all local evaluation criteria. He added that the community will benefit from a crosswalk based on his department’s findings. “It’s been a specific point of interest for people in my district, so much so that
the mayor and I discussed it in September in our 1-on-1,” Zionsville Town Council Vice President Jason Plunkett said of the crosswalk. To avoid subjectivity in deciding whether to recommend the crosswalk be installed or future crosswalks be installed at other locations, Lantz and his team established a three-tiered approach to evaluate locations. The approach includes a high-level initial screening based on physical conditions, data collection and a location evaluation with examination of alternatives. The high-level initial screening involves seven criteria. If a location meets four of the seven criteria, it advances in consideration. The criteria includes whether a location has supporting infrastructure in place or readily provided; separation and distance from other crosswalks; is in a school zone; is within a quarter mile of public amenities; has pathway network connectivity; has a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less; or crosses only two through-traffic vehicle lanes. The second tier requires town officials to determine how much the location is used during peak hours, including pedestrian counts taken to determine how many people cross. Children are tallied twice in the count.
The third tier incorporates a professional evaluation of the location to consider alternatives, such as crossing guard options, relationships to schools and school zones and pedestrian network connectivity, among other considerations. Staff findings are vetted by the mayor’s ad-hoc committee. A design specific to the location would be produced and recommended to the town council, and any necessary additional funding for special equipment could be requested. Budgeted items, such as sidewalks, are already within town budgets, according to Lantz. He said the town plans to review two new locations per year based on initial scoring and subsequent submissions. Zionsville Town Council President Josh Garrett thanked Lantz for creating the approach. “My fear with these has always been when one of these comes in front of us, next meeting there will be a hundred,” Garrett said of crosswalks. “So, I appreciate the process of quantifying what they are and saying how many we are doing and scoring them before they get here so (that) we aren’t just subjectively saying (yes or no) and having data behind it.

Board of Police Commissioners approve change to ZPD’s use-of-force board policy By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Board of Police Commissioners have approved a change to the Zionsville Police Dept.’s useof-force board to prevent instancTOWN NEWS es of separate testimonies in the event of a use of force. During the commissioners’ Nov. 15 meeting, Zionsville Police Dept. Capt. Marius Klykken requested that the commissioners approve a change to the department’s use-of-force policy. It was unanimously approved. “We’ve removed a section from the use-of-force board to allow them to have a separate hearing outside of the legal process,” Klykken said. “The old policy said the use-of-force board could review the use of force, and then from there if they had questions call that officer in for testimony. Doing research on this, having a year under our belts with this, best practices show that this is going to be a criminal case and that officer will be giving testimony most likely in the court system under deposition. “Having separate testimonies was against best practices. Everything else remains the same.”
FREE BUSINESS CHECKING
The use-of-force board will still review incidents involving uses of force. Klykken said the department had one use-of-force incident last year and two so far this year. Neither incident in 2021 required testimony from an officer, Klykken said. The department established the use-of-force board last year. Five people serve on the board: Klykken, ZPD Capt. Drake Sterling and Sgt. Josh Samuelson and Zionsville residents Kenneth Johnson and Monisha Mitchell. Board members review the department’s uses of force policy, provide input and discuss national-level use-of-force cases. It has revised the department’s use-of-force policy and prohibits choke holds. It also has reviewed incidents where officers could have used force but did not. “Before (an incident) even gets to the use-of-force board, it’s going to be going through a review by the supervisor, by myself,” Klykken said. “Once that useof-force board gets the documentation on this, they will review that use of force and give that recommendation to the chief of police from there, if that use of force was in policy or it wasn’t. Any use of force is already going to be independently reviewed, and if there are criminal matters that take place, it’s going to be criminally reviewed as well.”

Shade shows her versatility for NHS girls basketball team By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Noblesville High School guard Ashlynn Shade’s list of final eight college choices reads like a who’s who of women’s college basketball. Shade, one of the most highly sought juniors in the nation, has narrowed her list to Connecticut, Notre Dame, Stanford, Tennessee, Louisville, Indiana University, Vanderbilt and North Carolina. “The thing I am looking for most in a college is a family culture,” Shade said. “I know wherever I go I am going to be surrounded by so much talent, so the biggest thing for me is culture, looking for my home away from home.” The 5-foot-9 Shade is ranked No. 5 in ESPN’s Class of 2023 recruiting rankings. Shade averaged 23.9 points on 47 percent shooting and 8.1 rebounds last season to help the Millers to a 21-5 record and their first sectional crown since 2015. “Ash is a hard worker,” Millers coach Donna Buckley said. “She is a straight-A student who excels on and off the floor.

who played for the Lady Gym Rats last summer but plans to play for IGB next summer. Shade, who averaged 20.5 points as a freshman, was averaging 19.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and five assists in the Millers’ (50) first five games this season. “The most improvements I have made from last season is being a better leader for my team and making everyone around me better,” Shade said. “My goals are very team oriented this year, so being a better leader will help our team accomplish those goals.” Shade said there are always parts of her overall game she is seeking to improve. Shade said she and the team are very motivated after reaching regionals last season. “Because it proved to ourselves what we were capable of, and with our team returning so many players, it makes us even hungrier to go even farther in the tournament,” she said. At a young age, Shade played multiple sports because she liked to stay active. “But basketball has always been my love. When I would play other sports, all I could think about was dribbling a ball,” she said. “It wasn’t until middle school when I solely focused on basketball.”

Zionsville resident organizes event to raise awareness of sexual abuse in youth sports By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Zionsville resident Becky Cash believes parents need to take it upon themselves to learn how to identify signs of child sexual abuse, especially in sports. Cash, a Republican candidate for the new Indiana House District 25 seat, was angry when she first read the news regarding former USA Gymnastics national team doctor Larry Nassar. He was convicted in 2017 of sexually abusing hundreds of girls, many of whom were athletes. Other local sexual abuse cases — such as former Witham Health Services pediatrician Dr. Jonathon Cavins, who was convicted and sentenced for acts perpetrated on five boys while he was their treating pediatrician — made Cash feel she needed to do something. “Over the last few years, with the national spotlight on the abuse scandals in gymnastics and then swimming, it has come out that this is a systemic issue in sports, and the rules of engagement are different in sports,” Cash said. “One teenager said to me, ‘I was told from a very young age good touch, bad touch, what is OK, what is not OK. But when it happened in the gym, we didn’t recognize it.’ “The parents are all there, and they aren’t seeing, and they aren’t recognizing it. When (the teenager) said that, she said, ‘My mom was in the room, and she didn’t know.’ That is why we are specifically focusing on sports.” To help parents and guardians better understand and recognize the signs of sexual abuse in sports, Cash has organized a free public event where Toby Stark, CEO and founder of Stark Consulting Group LLC, will inform parents of ways to spot and report instances of child sexual abuse Stark and how to educate their children on the topic. The event is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 2 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St. Register at bit.ly/3HN9k4s. Stark Consulting Group works to prevent child sexual abuse in amatuer youth sports. “I’ve always been concerned about child sexual abuse,” Cash said. “My husband and I were foster parents in a couple of different
well as coach and parent, so when we talk about preventing child sexual abuse on Dec. 2, it will be within that dynamic of youth sports.” According to Stark, 1 in 10 children will be abused by their 18th birthday. She said 90 percent of those children are abused by someone “they know, love and trust.” “One of the most important messages that I share with parents is, you are not necessarily protecting your children against this person or that kind of person or this organization,” Stark said. “You are protecting your children, period. This is just how your family does things.” During the event, Stark plans to address three main pillars. “First is educating parents on what child sexual abuse is and what it is not, as well as the depth and breadth of it,” Stark said. “And we will talk about recognizing signs. We will talk about some concrete, pragmatic things people can do every day to minimize the risks of abuse. And then we will talk about responding to either disclosure or a discovery or a suspicion. There are legal responsibilities for how to respond, but you also have to respond to the child so that you are not retraumatizing the child.” ON THE COVER: Becky Cash pauses outside Zionsville Town Hall.

states. We have six children of our own, so as a mother, everything in your life is, ‘Protect my kid, protect my kid.’” At the beginning of the year, Cash contacted Sylvia’s Child Advocacy Center, which connected her with Stark, who used to do prevention work for the center. Stark now speaks at events across the U.S. about ways to prevent child sexual abuse. “One of the things that really prompted me to do this was having kids,” Cash said. ‘And more than just having a daughter who’s a gymnast, it really started to bother me that, despite the fact that the roof has
been blown off this, I have never once had any sports entity say to me, ‘We’re doing a training for parents on how to detect it,’ or, ‘We are doing a training on the athletes on how to detect it.’ I feel that parents have been left out of the equation.” As a result, Stark — a child advocate — plans to teach parents and guardians specific ways to prevent child sexual abuse. “We want to be able to educate parents on how to minimize the risk of abuse for their children who are playing sports,” Stark said. “There is a really unique sports dynamic between coach and player as
In Indiana, every adult is a mandated reporter of known or suspected child abuse, said Toby Stark, CEO and founder of Stark Consulting Group LLC. “That means, legally, anybody in Indiana who has knowledge of or a reasonable suspicion of child abuse is required to report it to the Indiana Dept. of Child Services or local law enforcement,” Stark said. “That is so important because so many people will know they have to report, but they don’t know who to report to.” The Indiana Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline can be reached by calling 1-800-800-5556.

ESSAY
HUMOR
Polite lies
A social engineering triumph
Commentary by Terry Anker Although there are countless ways to do it, there are none that don’t hurt, at least a little. When it is time for the breakup, somebody always feels the sting. Sure, Hollywood types talk about the “conscious uncoupling” from their fourth marriage. And occasionally, the relationship is not particularly beneficial to either party – it is just that neither side wants to call it quits. In business, and also family, not everything lasts forever. It may have been the best contract ever when it was signed, or so it seemed. Still, we rarely benefit in exactly the same way all the time. So the conversation, whether in person, by email, phone, video call, post-it note or sky writing, usually starts with some attempt to make the soon-to-be injured party think that the person delivering the bad news is still a good person. “It is not anybody’s fault. It’s not you, it is me. We’re going to try another direction but don’t want for us to end with any negative feelings.” OK. If there is so much love, why is the relationship ending? What they probably are avoiding saying is more like, “This relationship does not work and cannot end fast enough to suit me – it is your fault and there is no way to make it go with an idiot like you.” Well, maybe it is not quite that mean-spirited. But when we hold back, are we doing so to protect the feelings of others or to assuage our own guilt for our part in the failure? If we are entirely correct in the decision, would it be more helpful to the other person to say why, or would it be pointlessly cruel to explain our understanding of the problem? If we learn from our mistakes, what can we learn from a polite lie?

Folks, I recently made real progress in my 70/30 commitment to be more social. I am not fully dedicated to this goal because I recognize my limits both as an introvert and an early-to-bed hater of evenings. But my husband Doo doesn’t want me to become an agoraphobic cat lady when he passes, which will almost certainly be before me, so he’s been pushing me to make friends and “get out there” on a more regular basis. And though I absolutely loathe the idea, I recognize he probably has a point about me becoming a curmudgeonly hermit. Read on for the details of my small personal triumph. The school where I teach organized a series of trivia nights to encourage faculty to get to know each other better. I chose one where the venue and date played into my well-orchestrated workday routine: It was close to my house and would be over by 9 p.m. But as the big moment approached, I could feel my anxiety kick in and looked for excuses to bail. “I’m too tired!” “This lady who also signed up is in a different department.” “I don’t wanna! Wah!” Doo and my daughter did little to hide their disgust and eventually shamed me into going. And I’m so glad they did. We discovered a new place, enjoyed time together and took home third place (we headed into the final question in first, but mixed up the number of Elvis’ Grammys with Shaq’s NBA career 3-pointers. Stupid!). My colleague never showed, so I didn’t technically socialize, but I did spend two hours at a bar on a Thursday! Yay, me! Peace out.

BCHD restocks pediatric doses, plans to expand clinic hours By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Health Dept., after going multiple weeks without pediatric doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, PANDEMIC has received an additional shipment and has coordinated with the state department of health to secure more. BCHD Director of Nursing and Vital Re-
cords Lisa Younts said the department initially received 300 doses on Nov. 3. Within a week, the doses had been administered, and the department was unsure of when it would receive its next shipment. While it awaited news from the Indiana State Dept. of Health on when more doses would arrive, the department directed families to surrounding vaccine clinics with available doses. “We actually just received our next ship-
ment of pediatric vaccine doses,” Younts said Nov. 22. “Now, we do have 700 doses that we are expecting to use in the next couple of weeks. We are now able to order through the state system to keep that supply up, which is good news because there has been quite a big demand, and we have had to turn people away.” Because adults can now receive COVID-19 vaccine booster shots, the BCHD expects to expand its clinic hours. The department’s
COVID-19 clinic is currently open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are accepted. “We are continuing to do boosters for those that were (previously) authorized, and our appointments have been filling up with those,” Younts said. “So, we are going to look into opening up another day at the clinic, but we are not that far yet. We don’t know when that day or time will be.”

Aviation companies merge news@currentinzionsville.com Jet Access and the Eagle Creek Aviation family of companies, two Indiana-based aviation firms, announced their LOCAL BIZ merger Nov. 22. The companies plan to leverage their positions within the industry to create a national entity and brand. “The combination of our two companies, and more importantly the incredibly talented people that make them great, will create enormous (opportunities) within the marketplace to innovate, create jobs and bring value to our current and future customers all while making Indianapolis a national private aviation hub,” Jet Access President and CEO Quinn Ricker stated. Jet Access took over operations at Indianapolis Regional Airport — formerly known as Mount Comfort Airport — earlier this year and now oversees 10 fixed-based operators and runs 11 flight schools, including additional Indiana operations at Columbus Municipal Airport and Shelbyville Municipal Airport, according to a press release. Jet Access is one of the largest Part-135 Charter operators in the nation, operating more than 40 executive

jets nationwide from its Palm Beach, Fla., operations base. Eagle Creek Aviation has a nearly 40-year history in the Indianapolis area, providing aircraft maintenance, aircraft sales, FBO and charter services at Eagle Creek Airport in Indianapolis. Eagle Creek Aviation also operates First Wing Jet Center in Zionsville, which operates the FBOs at the Indianapolis Executive Airport in Zionsville and Frankfort/ Clinton County Airport, along with First Wing Charter and Management, a Part-135 charter operator. The integrated company will employ more than 380 workers, including more than 110 professional pilots and 75 aircraft technicians, with the majority based in central Indiana, where the combined company will be headquartered, according to the press release. Jet Access will be the 12th-largest Part-135 private jet operator in the United States, with more than 50 planes in the fleet. “This will create unparalleled value for our customers, offering turn-key private jet travel and services significantly below the cost of our competitors — all on a national scale,” Ricker stated.

Stocks for the Biden presidency — Renewable energy is sector in which the president and the Democrats, who control the White House and both chambers of Congress, could have the strongest influence. Renewable energy was already on an upswing before the 2020 elections, thanks to falling costs, improving technology and shifting consumer demand. The president plans to make U.S. climate policy an engine for employment and economic growth. Biden’s “New Green Deal” calls for a nationwide emissions-free electricity grid in just 15 years through energy legislation, executive orders, incentives and subsidies that will benefit solar, wind and hydroelectric companies. Stocks to watch include: • Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP) owns a portfolio of more than 5,000 renewable power–generating properties including wind, solar and hydroelectric facilities across four continents. The company has projects in development that should nearly double its power-generating capacity. Recent share price: $45.22. • NextEra Energy (NEE) provides elec-
tricity for 5.5 million customers in Florida. But it is best known as the world’s largest producer of wind and solar energy. NextEra, which has increased its annual dividend for 26 consecutive years, is so far ahead of its peers in converting fossil fuel– powered plants to cleaner energy sources that it should continue to deliver a double-digit compound annual growth rate in a sector known for low single-digit growth. Recent share price: $81.19. • Invesco Solar ETF (TAN). Many solar stocks have exhibited huge volatility in the past year, so it’s better to use an exchange-traded fund (ETF) to diversify and bet on a wide swath of them -- all of which could benefit from renewable-energy legislation and wider consumer adoption of solar energy. Invesco Solar, launched in 2008, is the largest and oldest solar-focused ETF with more than $5.1 billion in assets. It holds 30 of the top companies. Recent share price: $118.45.

Carmel father/daughter duo get opportunity to act together in ‘Elf The Musical’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Jack Tanselle has a special reason for returning to the stage to act for the first time in 23 years; he gets to THEATER perform with his daughter. The last time he performed was in a graduate school follies show in 1998 at Northwestern University. “My daughter has been in a number of shows at Civic Theatre over the years,” the Carmel resident said. A senior at Park Tudor High School, Mary Kate Tanselle was trying out for her first main stage show as an adult when she auditioned. “She and others encouraged me to go through a show with her and go through the process of preparing for a show with her, realizing there may not be another moment when that can actually happen,” Jack said. “I was pretty excited when I got the role.” Jack and Mary Kate will appear together in Civic Theatre’s production of “Elf The Musical” from Dec. 3 to 24 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Jack plays Walter Hobbs, Buddy the Elf’s father. Mary Kate is in the ensemble. “Prior to her getting her driver’s license, the most involved we were was chauffeuring her to rehearsals,” Jack said. “We were living vicariously through her on what the whole process was like. But it’s been a whole other experience to be here every night with rehearsals. One funny thing is, we are not in a scene together until the finale by the role I play and all the different roles she plays. When I’m not in a scene, I’m able to watch her and vice versa. “She’s had an awesome experience with the staff at Civic over the last eight to 10 years, and she has turned around and been quite a helpful coach to me.” Jack said he had to learn the process of memorizing lines and getting comfortable reacting. Mary Kate said she has watched videos

of her father performing at Lebanon High School. “It’s been fun to see him perform again. It’s been especially fun to see him do it at Civic, a place I’ve grown up and done so many performances here,” she said. “He’s always been in the audience, and it’s fun to have him on the stage at this time. We had a lot of friends and family pushing him to do it. I helped him prep for the audition and gave him the best tricks and tips I know. That was fun, too.” Mary Kate said the dancing for her role is intense. “It’s really hard to not laugh at Matt Bays, who plays Buddy,” Mary Kate said. “Your character has to keep a straight face, and sometimes he’s so darn funny, you can’t keep a straight face.” Bays, a former Westfield resident who moved to Cincinnati, is returning in the role he played in Civic’s 2019 production of “Elf The Musical.” Indianapolis resident Carrie Neal returns in the role of Emily Hobbs, Walter’s wife.
“I never had any doubt about that,” Neal said of wanting to reprise the role. “I sing five or six songs by myself or with someone. We get to be part of the action, which is really fun. I’ve been doing (theater) as a volunteer and professional for more than 20 years, and I would put this in the top three shows (I’ve) ever done. “The audiences love it so much. There is something special about bringing the holiday to someone.” Noblesville resident Emily Bohannon returns in the role of Jovie. “The way you play a character has so much to do with the people who share a stage with you,” Bohannon she said. “I’m reacting to their energy. There are changes I’ve made, and changes Matt has made. In 2019, I just wanted to do a good job (and) I was so tense. This time, I’m more relaxed and having more fun.” For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Actor switches gears in show By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Duane Leatherman admitted it was time to step out of his comfort zone. After playing PLAY guardian angel Clarence in three previous productions, Leatherman will play Mr. Potter in Carmel Community Players’ presentation of “It’s a WonLeatherman derful Life: A Live Radio Show” Dec. 2 to 5 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel “Three times seemed like enough to play Clarence, but I had always thought Potter seemed like a fun role to play,” Leatherman said. “Often, who do many people remember? The creepy and/or nasty villain. Besides, without Potter, the story would never have happened or been as dramatic. Quintessential good versus evil, with the good winning.” For professional and COVID-19 reasons, Leatherman lives on the Butler campus as a faculty-in-residence, and his wife, Linnea,
lives in their Westfield home. Linnea plays three roles. She is the angel superintendent, who supervises Clarence, and portrays George’s mother, Rose, and a bank employee, Matilda. Besides Potter, Leatherman also plays Gower, the pharmacist. Sydney Loomis portrays George Bailey. “First of all, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is my favorite movie ever made,” Loomis Loomis said. “I love the George Bailey character because I can identify with him so easily, and we both have a lot in common, including pulling my little brother out of a pond when he was about 4 years old. I was about 10 years old when I pulled my brother Jon out of our neighbor’s fish pond.” Loomis, a 1978 Noblesville High School graduate, was in a Carmel Theatre Co. production of “It’s a Wonderful Life” (radio play) in 2017, playing George Bailey. A Cicero resident, he is the branch manager of The Farmers Bank, 16940 Clover Rd., in Noblesville. For more, visit carmelplayers.org.

Dancer lands ‘Plum’ role By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This is the role Rebecca Zigmond has longed wanted to perform.

I hope that I can inspire the younger dancers in the same way and that they can aspire to achieve their dreams.” Zigmond has been dancing since age 3. She started in GHDT’s ‘The Nutcracker’ in 2012 and became a student at The Academy of GHDT in 2013. She has been a member of G2, the pre-professional company of GHDT,

for six years. “I have never done partnering before, so it has been a great experience learning to do that,” Zigmond said. “My teachers have been really helpful in making me feel more confident with it.” GHDT company dancer Adrian Dominguez will dance the role of The Nutcracker Prince. The production portrays Klara as a homeless orphan who discovers the true meaning of the season through the gift and giving spirit of a homeless person. Klara is performed by dancer Leighton Metcalfe, 9, from Peru, Ind.

Anderson returns to Palladium By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com For professional singer Jessamyn Anderson, performing with the Indiana Wind Symphony each December CONCERT is something more than an annual stop on a busy tour schedule. It’s how she ushers in the holidays. “I am thrilled to sing with the Indiana Wind Symphony for 10 years in a row,” said Anderson, a Carmel native who resides in Columbia, Tenn. “It has become a bit of a holiday tradition to start the season on the Palladium stage, and I am grateful that the trend continues.” A 2011 Carmel High School graduate, Anderson will perform twice with the IWS during its Dec. 5 presentations of “Santa and Mrs. Claus Visit the Palladium” and “A Most Glorious Season.” Both shows are at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Geared for younger audiences, “Santa and Mrs. Claus” is a 50-minute show that starts at 2 p.m. “A Most Glorious Season” is a full concert that starts at 7 p.m. Anderson, a soprano whose first professional singing opportunity was with the IWS during her freshman year in college, looks forward to what has become a holiday and a homecoming tradition. “This will be my 10th season performing with the ensemble, and it’s honestly more fun every year,” she said. “In a way, I’ve grown up professionally alongside this group of musicians, and it’s a joy to come

back each year.” Among other holiday and winter favorites, Anderson will sing “White Christmas,” “O Holy Night,” “Merry Christmas Darling” and “Let it Go.” “We always look forward to this day because it is such a wonderful time for the audience,” IWS founder/Music Director Charles Conrad said. “(The show) reminds us all of holidays with our family and friends.” Anderson agrees. “Live music is essential to a culture in desperate need of hope and unity, particularly during the holidays, which can be a hard time for those grieving loved ones or experiencing the weight of loneliness,” she said. “I am honored to bring the Christmas spirit into the hearts of all who attend this concert or tune into the livestream.” For more or for tickets, visit indianawindsymphony.org.

Blueprint for Improvement: Carmel cosmetic kitchen upgrade Commentary by Larry Greene Built in 1999, this home is in Carmel’s Emerald Estates neighborhood. The owners wanted to update the kitchen without replacing the cabinets.
After
THE BLUEPRINT • The existing cabinets were in excellent shape, so they were freshened up with new paint. The countertop was replaced with quartz. • One new base cabinet was added to the island to provide additional storage. The doors feature wire mesh for visibility and added style. • Wine racking was installed in the niche above the oven for more functionality. • The flooring is luxury vinyl plank in a beautiful, weathered finish.

‘Tis the season to get it right Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
Butler University’s Hinkle Fieldhouse. (Photos by Don Knebel)
Tour of Hinkle Fieldhouse Commentary by Don Knebel In 1921, 22-year-old Paul D. “Tony” Hinkle, a two-time basketball All-American at the University of Chicago, became TRAVEL assistant basketball coach at Butler University, then in Irvington. In 1924, Butler won the AAU national tournament as Butler was planning a move to its current location. Butler hired Indianapolis architect Fermor Spencer Cannon to design a facility worthy of a national champion. Hinkle became head basketball coach in 1926, and construction of the brick and stone arena at the corner of Boulevard Place and 49th Street began in 1927. When completed a year later, Butler Fieldhouse, engineered so all 15,000 fans had an unobstructed court view, was the largest basketball arena in the United States, a rank it maintained until 1950. In the inaugural game on March 7, 1928, the Hinkle-led Bulldogs defeated top-ranked Notre Dame in overtime. In 1929, Butler again defeated Notre Dame and won its second national basketball championship. During World War II, the fieldhouse was a barracks. In 1966, with Hinkle serving as both head basketball and head football coach, Butler’s trustees renamed the building “Hinkle Fieldhouse.” Until 1972, Hinkle Fieldhouse hosted the IHSAA boys basketball finals, the oldest such tournament in the U.S., including the 1954 game in which Milan defeated Muncie Central. The state championship scenes in the movie “Hoosiers,” inspired by that famous game, were filmed in the fieldhouse. In the 1935 Butler Relays, Jesse Owens set an indoor record in the 60-yard dash in the fieldhouse, which has hosted six presidents

Put that turkey leg down and listen up! Today we have to discuss your family’s upcoming holiday card. In addition to the fact that we do not GRAMMAR GUY need to see your pets in your cards, we also don’t need to see any glaring grammar mistakes. Stick to the following tips and you’ll turn a bah, humbug card into a very merry message. To keep your headings holly and jolly, write “Season’s greetings.” “Seasons greetings” isn’t right because the “greetings” belong to the “season.” Therefore, we need the apostrophe. Continuing on the theme of that grinch of a punctuation mark called the apostrophe, let’s look at the phrase: ‘tis the season. Never write “tis” with no apostrophe before it. ‘Tis is a conjunction of “it” and “is.” OK, so it appears that all our holiday card woes stem from the pesky apostrophe. We see it again in the phrase “Happy New Year.” Don’t write “Happy New Year’s” or “Happy New Years.” However, “New Year’s
Day” and “New Year’s Eve” are correct.” You only need to capitalize the “m” in “Merry Christmas” if “Merry” begins a sentence or if “Merry Christmas” is the heading at the top of your card. For instance, you would correctly write, “We hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.” How do you write your family’s last name on a card? Suppose your greeting says, “Merry Christmas from the (your last name here).” Should the last name read “Kringle’s” or “Kringles”? This is by far the most common holiday card faux pas. Never use an apostrophe here; instead, pluralize your last name by adding an “s.” Your family name isn’t possessing anything. If your family name ends in -s, -ch, -sh, -z or -x (as long as the -x is not silent), add -es to make your last name plural: Happy Holidays from the Joneses.
