The Ford Road Bridge in Zionsville is still under construction, but is scheduled to open this week. (Photos by Christina Pappas)
Bridge to open Dec. 5 By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com The bridge located at the intersection of Ford Road and 96th Street has been the center of controversy for years, but that is all about streets to change. The structure providing passage for people and vehicles to cross since 1920, was long established as a pleasant route with the “tunnel of trees.” It was reconstructed in 1971 and then in the mid-1990s. The controversies began when townspeople and county leaders were planning for another repair, and then a complete replacement of the structure. “You don’t have enough room in your paper for all of the controversy,” stated Rick Carney, superintendent of Boone County Highway Department. “The short version is, in the beginning it was the bridge design [that was a problem.]” Carney stated that then the problem was a controversy between replacing it with a steel truss bridge versus the new bridge ending up in new bridge design and wood railing. Carney also stated that “people were upset for many reasons, one reason was cost, the second reason was inconvenience, and probably many more reasons.” Original replacement plans for the steel historicalera truss bridge from another location in Indiana to be installed at the Ford Road site were squashed when Boone County Council leaders opposed the idea, citing bridge dimensions as the reason for the change. As a result, the town lost more than $2 million in
federal funding for the steel truss’ relocation into Zionsville. The third installment in the bridge’s life has cost approximately $1.6 million according to Carney. In August, Yates Construction, Inc., won the contract to replace the bridge. “Bridges are designed to carry traffic and this bridge was becoming unsafe; therefore, its reconstruction was required,” he said. Some residents with concerns filed a petition on GoPetition.com in 2011. It read: “In order to increase community safety, the 96th Street/Ford Road Bridge Project should include: moving the 96th intersection north away from the bridge; installing a new two lane bridge with generous shoulders; and widening and lessening the 90 degree turn. We oppose the current bridge project as it does not accomplish these three objectives, and urge the Indiana Department of Transportation and Boone County Commissioners to consider other alternate bridge plans that do.” Carney stated that all of these issues were considered and the new project did accomplish the three objectives outlined in the petition. “All were all met,” he said. Now, construction on the bridge is nearly complete and a ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m., Dec. 5. It will be open to traffic immediately following the ceremony. The more than 7,000 motorists who use the Ford Road Bridge have been taking detours along Oak Street or Moore Road while the project has been going on.

Correction
Technically, I’m not sure if “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” is the sequel to the prequel to the “Apes” movies from the 1960s and ’70s, or what. But I do know it was the most entertaining movie I saw this summer. The follow-up to “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is set 10 years down the road, when humans have mostly died off due to disease and intelligent apes are now the Earth’s prime species.

November’s essay winner is Emily Worth, who nominated Mrs. Ashley Fox at Zionsville Community High School. Here is Worth’s essay: Mrs. Ashley Fox has been my favorite Zionsville teacher thus far. Her superb mathematical abilities have helped hundreds of students attending ZCHS. She devotes so much of her own time before and after school, making sure everyone in her
classes can comprehend the given material. Mrs. Fox genuinely cares about her students; she offers assistance when we need it and gives her congratulations when we do well on an assessment or quiz. This wonderful teacher never fails to brighten my day. Mrs. Fox is an amazing mother, wife, educator, and friend, therefore making her my favorite Zionsville teacher.

Susana Suarez, a Zionsville town councilor, became the first - and for now the only - candidate to file for HD 24 replacing government State Rep. Steve Braun. “I believe education is the great equalizer and have devoted a big part
of my time on the Indiana Higher Education Commission to ensuring student success,” said Suarez. “Fixing the school funding formula, as well as equipping our municipalities with the right tools for economic development, will be my top priorities if I’m successful.” The caucus to replace Braun is scheduled for Dec. 9.

CARE THAT’S SPREADING FASTER THAN CANCER. Seems cancer has always had the upper hand. But at Community Health Network, we’ve started to paint a brighter picture. Five of our hospitals are now affiliated with MD Anderson Cancer Network®. That means at each of these locations you now have access to the nationally recognized expertise and treatment guidelines of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, which has been ranked in the top two centers in the nation since the U.S. News and World Report “Best Hospitals” survey began 25 years ago. Mighty impressive. Community now brings that expertise to five of its hospitals in central Indiana. For once, care is spreading faster than cancer.

Rapper aims to ‘make it big’ By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com Blake Arthur Whitehead has been rapping from places on the East Coast to Zionsville since he was 10 years-old, and has just now music landed a gig as the opening act for New Orleans-based rapper Curren$y. Whitehead, who is known as King Arthur in the rapping world, and Curren$y will perform at The Emerson in Indianapolis, at 8 p.m., Dec. 6. Not bad for the 14-year-old rapper, who is a freshman at Zionsville Community High School. Originally from Connecticut, Whitehead and his family moved to Zionsville a few years ago. His parents are Marsha and Bob Whitehead and he has four brothers, Rob, Andrew, Palmer and Sam. “I started rapping… because my brother Palmer was doing it,” Whitehead said. “And it just started working out for me.” He is also an accomplished trumpet player, having played for five years, but quit once he started high school to concentrate on his rapping career. “I am a solo act, but I do feature people in my music occasionally,” Whitehead said. “When I feature people in my music they would normally tell me that they want to do a song with me, then they come over to my house where I have all of my equipment and we record music.” He chose his rap name based on other rappers’ names not having a lot of meaning. “Arthur is my middle name and musically I see

myself to be pretty good so I put the King in the front of Arthur,” Whitehead said. Whitehead has performed at The Emerson before, but said that this next show could be his “big break.” “[Curren$y] has his own record label named Jet Life Recordings and he has released four studio albums,” Whitehead said. “Once I develop a fan base I plan on going on tour, and I hope Curren$y likes my music enough that he would want me on tour with him.” But if that doesn’t happen he has a back up plan. “After high school, if I don’t make it into the music industry, I plan on going to Ball State, IUPUI, or IU, to get a major in music engineering and a minor in business,” he said.

Fighting hunger this season By Kristen Yates • news@currentzionsville.com
A hungry stomach should never be ignored, especially if it belongs to a child. In 2013, the United States Department of charity Agriculture reported that 17.5 million of U.S. households were food insecure, with 1 in 5 children struggling with hunger at some point in their lives. The holiday season is a time for giving thanks, being with family and caring for others, not a time to worry about where the next meal will come from. This year TCC, the largest Verizon Premium Wireless retailer in the U.S., decided to fight back against hunger through its 300 stores nationwide. This nationwide food drive is a part of their “Stop the Hunger” campaign where employees will be donating food items and volunteering their time. Now through Dec. 12 participating
stores encourage local families to join in the fight. Nearby, canned and boxed goods can be brought to 1352 S. Range Line Rd., Carmel. “Our team at the Carmel TCC is excited to be part of this program that allows us an opportunity to help the less privileged,” Eric Williams, store manager of TCC in Carmel, said. “It is our culture to give back to the community in a positive way.” “Stop the Hunger” is part of a larger campaign called “Culture of Good” which is now in its second year of service. This past summer their efforts were enough to donate 300 college scholarships to children and 100,000 backpacks to deserving students. “All TCC employees believe in the opportunity to give back to the community,” Williams said. “A program such as the Culture of Good enables TCC’s employees to lend a helping hand and have a positive impact on each community we serve,”

onna's rental property in Zionsville's Sycamore Bend was surely one of the most challenging sales Jennifer has ever closed. The property had been a rental for many years, and it was desperately in need of a face lift just to be sell-able. Donna was not living in Indiana, so the lion's share of the updating fell to Jennifer's oversight. If something could go wrong with this transaction, it did. The painters flaked out. A pipe burst. The air conditioner failed. The well failed. The first transaction fell through when the interest rates spiked last summer. But tenacity is a personality trait Jennifer embraces, so she never gave up! Every challenge was overcome, and a new buyer was located. The closing finally occurred without a hitch, and Donna is now free of a burden in Indiana. Now, Jennifer has a colorful Story of Sold for her library, and she's glad that book is closed!

It’s shedding season
Commentary by Ward Degler
My dog Brutie is slowing down. After all, he’s going to be 13 years old in another month. In dog years that means he could plain talk have fought in World War I, running from trench to trench delivering important battle messages or emergency medical supplies. Today he divides his time between exploring the backyard, barking at other dogs walking down the street with their masters, and sleeping. And while he sleeps, he sheds. Every morning I walk into the family room to a carpet that looks like a case study for the treatment of leprosy. Brutie drops his fur in great black and white clumps. Part of it is normal, I’m told, shedding the summer coat and building a cozier one for winter. The rest is allergies. When the leaves begin to fall, Brutie begins to scratch. He also chews on himself and yanks out great patches of fur, leaving me a dog that looks a lot like the carpet he sleeps on. I’ve taken him to the vet for shots. I feed him Benadryl wrapped in slices of cheese. I brush him daily, getting basketball size wads of fur. I also make sure he has a good diet including raw eggs and extra doses of cod liver oil. And, of course, I lay on a daily brushing. I’ve often wished I had a spinning wheel to twist that soft fur into yarn. A woman I met at Minnesota’s Renaissance Fair years ago had five
or six dogs that looked a lot like Brutie. She sat in her booth and worked a spinning wheel making dog yarn. On the table were stacks of beautiful sweaters she’s knitted from the yarn. I asked her if they were named for the dogs. Rover, perhaps, or Spot. I was kidding then. Today I’m not so sure. Some dogs naturally shed more than others. huskies, shepherds, retrievers, chows and saint bernards top this list. The non-shed category includes poodles, yorkies, maltese and chihuahuas. I’m not sure where Brutie falls on this scale. He’s just a mutt. His mother was a hybrid mix of husky, chow and shepherd. I suspect his father might have been a border collie. That’s because when he’s not sleeping, shedding, barking or chasing around the yard, he does what border collies do best – herding. Every day Brutie herds me and my wife from room to room, ushers the grandkids to one corner or another of the family room and when there is no one around, he sits and stares at us waiting for instructions. When none are forthcoming, he sleeps and sheds. Which is about what you could expect from a 101-year-old dog. Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.”You may contact him at ward.degler@gmail.com.

Musgrave to take over in January By James Feichtner • news@currentzionsville.com
During the Nov. 24 meeting of the Zionsville Board of Police Commissioners, Police Chief Rob Knox announced that Captain Dougpolice las Gauthier will be stepping down from his role as Captain of the ZPD. Gauthier has served Zionsville and the ZPD for more than two decades. “I’ve really seen the department grow over the time period,” Gauthier said. “Also our area has probably [grown] five to six times as big as it was when I first started. [It’s been] a great experience. The town of Zionsville was great to work for. The people in the community are great. They really care about the police department. I know our officers care about the community also. It’s a very nice policing environment.” While Gauthier will be leaving his full time role as captain, he will be moving on to a new career with the engineering company Nederveld. Gauthier will work in the field of fire investigation and accident reconstruction. “I’ve been training in fire investigation and accident reconstruction for over 10 years here at the police department,” he said. “All that training and then just my basic knowledge of law enforcement, how to talk to people and kind of
read them and what they had to say, just all the experience I have in Zionsville really helped out.” Chief Knox expressed his gratitude for being able to serve with Gauthier noting how much he had done for both Zionsville and the ZPD. He also stated that Gauthier will stay available for the ZPD’s reserve division. “In my [more than 35] years of being a police officer, Doug is undoubtedly one of the hardest working police officers and individuals I ever met in my life,” Knox said. “He is extremely talented and dedicated and he has performed so many tasks for this community. It’s [amazing] to see all that he’s done over these years. He has even chosen to stay on as a reserve officer. I wish him and his family well and he will be sorely missed.” Knox said Lt. Robert Musgrave will assume the role of captain on Jan. 16. Gauthier said he’s training him for “a nice, seamless transition.” “I’m really honored just to have the opportunity to move into the administration side of the department,” Musgrave said. “I’ve worked on the street for 36 years so it’d be a huge change to be inside. I’ve had the opportunity to get outside and deal with the public and the citizens; I look forward to that because that’s what I’ve done. I think we’ll move the police department forward and continue to improve on [its] professionalism.”

Rachles reintroduced at Holiday Preview By Maria Leichty • news@currentzionsville.com Susie Rachles busily organizes her artwork as customers file in and out of the store. Hors d’oeuvres and 12 of Rachles paintings greet them as ART they walk into Delaney’s. Knowing many of them, she stops to say ‘hello.’ “It turns into a big social club,” Rachles’ said. This social club was the Zionsville event, Holiday Preview, which was on Nov. 20. Many of the stores stayed open late to showcase their new holiday merchandise, and at Delaney’s on Main Street, Rachles was the main event. She is a local artist who started displaying her art at Delaney’s last month after a short time of having
a gallery in Carmel. Before that she had a gallery in Zionsville for eight years. Delaney’s saleswoman Stacey Hamilton helped bring Rachles to the store in the first place. “To me, it was a no brainer to introduce Susie at the event,” Hamilton said. “It was great timing with Thanksgiving coming up.” Rachles said the preview gave a purpose to her art. She displayed pieces such as “Trader’s Point Hunt Club,” “Bob the Carriage Horse,” and “Mama Grizzly,” which covered the front window for passers-by to see. Each painting had an oldfashioned name tag with their size and prices. For more photos of the preview show, visit currentzionsville.com
Divorce What To Expect: Holiday Parenting Time In Indiana, a majority of parents with existing Court ordered custody and parenting time arrangements stipulate and agree to abide by the terms of the holiday parenting time schedule as put forth in the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, (“IPTG”). In any family law matter, however, the parties need not staunchly follow the IPTG holiday schedule and can agree to a schedule that best suits their family’s needs. That individualized schedule can be incorporated into the Court’s Order. For example, if there are longstanding holiday traditions that the parties wish to keep intact for the children subsequent to their separation, parents will often agree to such specific provisions and/or request the same from the Court when litigating the issue. The holiday parenting time schedule provided for in the IPTG “equalizes” the holiday parenting time for Mom and Dad over a two year period by alternating half of the holidays each year. The IPTG were recently amended. One specific amendment was to the implementation of holiday parenting time. Under the former IPTG, holiday parenting time took precedence over the regular parenting time schedule. This often resulted in one parent forfeiting weekend parenting time as it was the other party’s holiday parenting time. In such instances, the former IPTG required that the parties modify the annual schedule to ensure that due to that holiday time, no party received three consecutive weekends of parenting time. Under the
amended IPTG, holiday parenting time continues to take precedence over regular parenting time, however, parties are no longer required to modify the regular schedule for the remainder of the year should either party receive three consecutive weekends of parenting time. Instead, one party may now receive three consecutive weekends. The purpose of this modification was to avoid additional modifications throughout the year and recognizing that over time, the time would equalize. Be aware, however, that if you have a current order for parenting time, the provisions of the IPTG that were in effect at the time the order was issued is still in force. The amendments do not automatically apply to orders or agreements that were entered beforehand, so the specific version of the IPTG that applies to your situation is important to recognize. Included in the holiday schedule are “Special Days” such as parents birthdays, children’s birthday, Mother’s and Father’s day. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

The ladies of The Village Yarn Shop share life, love of stitching By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com For the last seven years The Village Yarn Shop has helped customers sew new friendships one stitch, purl two, at a time. The women are doing this in the shop’s cover story brick street store, in what they call a space as comfortable as if they were at home.
Ladies who laugh and cry together They took that hominess and spun into a place that their customers from all over central Indiana love. Twice a week a group of women from Zionsville, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers, Indianapolis and Greenfield all meet in the center of the store to knit. There are big, oversized comfy sofas and chairs where these women have sewn life-long friendships along with some of what the women call “free therapy.”
From their meeting in a knitting class or in their group they’ve made life long friends, who have helped each other through many of life’s challenges, such as divorce, illness, marriages, empty nesting, funerals and their children’s weddings. They are each other’s support. “You know I can’t go very long without a yarn store fix,” Cheraskin said. DeMilt said that even during last year’s snowstorms the group made its way to the shop, and when local coffee shops were closed because of the storms, Harriett and Terry improvised. “Harriett and Terry just make it feel like home for us,” DeMilt said. “Terry went and got us a coffee maker when we were knitting when all places where closed here.” McNabb said Cheraskin’s dog, Kinsey, even comes to the shop, sits with them while they knit and “makes it that much closer to
Making a comeback Knitting has made a comeback over the last several years, with young girls and even celebrities taking up the hobby. This is part of how The Village Yarn Shop’s story began to unravel into a local hot spot for friendships, snacks, workshops, education, comfort and the local knitting group. Harriett McNabb opened her store in May 2008 after a long teaching career. “I taught seventh and eighth grade English for nearly 30 years and I had been dreaming of a place to share my love of fiber, color and friendship,” McNabb said. “Terry, my husband of 34 years, is my partner in this endeavor. He worked for Caterpillar but supports my passion whenever he can.” So when their daughter and her husband had twins, the timing was right and they moved to Zionsville to be closer to their family and jumped into Harriett’s dream, not feet first, but head first. “We chose Zionsville, or rather, Zionsville chose us,” McNabb said. “When we first saw the town, the downtown shops have the homey charm that we were looking for and the people here are just so warm and helpful. They have welcomed us and wished us great success.”

Winter look not so hot
FROM THE BACKSHOP Is it a glitch or just error creep? Just as we were talking about how the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles had improved tremendously – even transforming itself into a friendly, easy-to-use outlet – came the news last week that some drivers have been asked to return some of the dough they were refunded when being overcharged on excise taxes. Oops! A BMV spokesman said it was “human error” that led to a temporary $60,000 windfall among 254 registered driver’s license holders. The money will be returned or recaptured. We all make mistakes and it’s not the end of the world, but after years of improvements under the governorship of Mitch Daniels, glitches have surfaced, including this latest one. The BMV has said it overcharged approximately $29 million in excise taxes. And then there was a class-action lawsuit that claimed the BMV dinged drivers by $30 million to the minus side. Just less than five million Hoosier drivers were refunded $3.50 to $15 apiece in a settlement. We’re in that group, although the check has yet to arrive. It will. What’s most important is that the mess be cleaned up and in an expedient way. Maybe there needs to be a new set of tighter controls. Remember, that money doesn’t belong to state government; it belongs to all of us. True enough, it is distributed to municipalities across the state annually, but errors are errors and they should be contained, if not eliminated, at all costs as it is our dough. So, what’s the process, what’s the system? The leadership at the BMV and on up the ladder might want to ask that question. ••• As much as we truly love the season, it has been humorous, really – even laughable – with respect to the unsolicited national retailer emails we have been getting. They almost all seem to tout “the deal of the holidays,” “it won’t get better than this,” “the lowest price of the year,” etc. And we know well enough that those e-mails will repeat several times … right up to Dec. 24. For now, we’ll just remain amused. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Demanding demands
Commentary by Terry Anker
Black Friday almost has become a holiday in itself. It is easier to find a parking spot at church on Easter Sunday than one at Target during the “shopping season.” Retailers register the vast majority of their sales during the period; and many credit it with their very survival. Media routinely report on the travails of our consumerism with many hosting live remotes designed to fuel the frenzy. Connecticut Democrat State Rep. Matt Lesser again this year is advancing legislation in his state to require that retailers be closed on Thanksgiving Day – emulating existing laws in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine. One can find the story wedged between reports of where to buy the hottest toys and electronics. Lesser waxes poetic about the plight of employed retailers who are expected to be at their posts early. His empathy does not extend to those of us in health care, public safety, entertainment, filling station, or other infrastructure roles. As social mores evolve, we have slowly ac-
cepted as fact the Sunday work day. Retailers that provide the day for observation of religious beliefs (or the NFL) are now imagined to be quaint – or even as right-wing zealots. In a world where labor is already heavily regulated, does more intervention benefit anyone? Our collective memories of “over the river and through the woods” to commune with family on this day custom designed for the purpose may simply be echoes of another time. But has our nostalgia distorted our recall? For me, memories include Thanksgiving starting especially early to get in chores before starting the work of preparing the big meal. Perhaps Lesser should have required that the animals skip a day of feed or that the weather always remain temperate – or arrest the farmers themselves. We could have used a few extra hours of sleep.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men.
– Gen. George Patton
As I waited for my dermatologist in nothing but a mauve paper gown and my undergarments, I realized I’d sunk to a new low in personal hygiene. Dirt under my fingernails, braid-able leg hair, sandpaper-like knee caps and remnants of two-month-old coral polish on my toes screamed “I don’t give a schtick!” What was wrong with me? Sure it was a Saturday morning and I’d already completed several errands by the time I arrived, but even for a busy mom, this was a new low. It’s not like I didn’t know I’d be practically naked in front of a veritable stranger; I was there for my annual ginger-skin check-up to make sure I hadn’t acquired “the cancer” during the last year of desperately trying to achieve a tan while diligently wearing 30 SPF or higher sunscreen. As a red-head with green eyes and a family history of melanoma, I take skin care very seriously. But I found it weird that I had totally ignored my “presentation,” as I normally spend at least a half-day primping and prepping for my ob/gyn visit. I was so embarrassed by my state of nonpulled-togetherness that the first thing I blurted out when she began her examination was an apology: “I’m so sorry you’re seeing me like this! At least I showered!” And to her credit, her reply was almost believable: “No worries. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest.” Maybe not, but afterward, still smarting from the shot of liquid nitrogen to the schnoz (she did find one small actinic keratosis, which can develop into cancer if not treated . . . curse you, daywalker skin!), I couldn’t help but consider my total lack of effort prior to this appointment. And then it hit me, sure as the 18-degree temperature had when I’d first walked outside earlier. It wasn’t that I’m self-confident enough to not care what she thinks, nor that I hadn’t had the time to “make amends.” It was simply this: Winter had arrived! That’s why I hadn’t touched a razor since Halloween, why I am shedding skin faster than our anole lizard, and most definitely why I’ve not paid close attention to my nails in months. If I’m wearing jeans and wool socks and boots 24/7, there’s simply no need to keep things in summer shape. In fact, I find that a little extra hair on the leg acts much like the down feathers on a duck! Still, cold weather is no excuse for letting my appearance go the way of my snow-birding in-laws. (That’s south, people!) For the sake of my children, my husband and my kind-hearted dermatologist, I must, at the very least, moisturize and shave. Peace out.

In a seat of power Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife and I have learned that when it comes to deciding what movies to see, we cannot depend on the opinions of humor newspaper and online movie critics. These are disgruntled people who are looking to criticize even the most enjoyable films — no doubt unhappy that they can’t write off the $12 tub of popcorn as a business expense. I once suggested to Mary Ellen that we go to the theater and hang around outside, then listen in on people as they exited the movie to see what they were saying about it. My wife was against this just like the time I advocated the same idea for picking a restaurant. Mary Ellen felt that standing out in the cold in front of Red Lobster to eavesdrop on the patrons seemed desperate. And it might look a bit fishy. The other night we headed out to see a movie, certain we’d enjoy our selection since it was getting great reviews. But just to be sure, I lingered outside the entrance to see what I could overhear as people exited. “That was awesome.” “Best time I have had in a theater.” To hear such universal raves is uncommon, so I decided to question one of the patrons. “Was the film really that good?” I asked. “No, it was just mediocre, but those new seats? Wow! Never had such a great evening,”
said one lady. My wife and I were eager to see what all the talk was about. We walked inside and there they were: The Regal King-Size Recliners. Yes, movie theater seats with a La-Z-Boy feel. The seats were twice the size of the previous ones — nice and leathery with a remote button that lets you adjust the recliner wa-a-a-a-y down, making your back almost parallel to the floor, assuming you want to look at the ceiling. We watched the movie. The name of it was … ? It was about … ? The lead actor was … ? Actually, I remember nothing about the movie. My wife, by the way, liked the new seats, but there was a problem. “Well. That’s the last time we go to that theater,” she said. “Why? Name one thing you didn’t like.” “Your snoring.” “Look, Mary Ellen, you can’t put a guy like me in a reclining position and expect me to stay awake.” Oh, and by the way, the cup holders are huge. They can even hold a small bag of popcorn, which is a great idea. I don’t like going to sleep on an empty stomach.

This holiday show is naughty and nice By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Westfield Playhouse’s upcoming holidaythemed performance, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” has theater eight families sharing the local theater’s stage. “The show is wonderful for families and this is the time people do things as a family,” said director Bobbi Van Van Howe Howe. “Most of the kids in the cast have a parent or older sibling in the show. I try to make it a family thing, especially around Christmas.” The McConnells of Westfield had no idea they would share the stage together when they first came to tryouts. “They brought their son to audition, I asked them to read and then they had parts,” Van Howe said. Instead of driving their son, C.J., to rehearsals, Chris and Nikki McConnell of Westfield are acting alongside him. “We haven’t been in a play since high school,” Chris said. “It’s been about 20 years since I’ve done this. … I didn’t think we’d have this much fun.” “It’s been a real bonding experience for the three of us as a family,” Nikki said. When the family isn’t at the playhouse, they rehearse lines together at home. “I only have five lines. I help them out by reading other people’s lines,” C.J. said. “When I have to

be angry at her and she gives me a face, I start to smile.” The McConnells star as a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant, faced with casting the Herdman kids, probably the most inventively awful kids in history. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear and hit small children. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant. None of the Herdmans has ever heard the Christmas story before and their interpretation of the tale has many people up in arms. But the mayhem and fun will make this year’s pageant the most unusual anyone has
seen and, just possibly, the best one ever. “My favorite part of it is it explains Christmas very well – what it really is and isn’t about,” Van Howe said. “It makes a big impact on my heart. … Every one of them is a juvenile delinquent, but they aren’t incapable of having compassion and realizing the Christmas story.” The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson • Westfield Playhouse, 1836 Ind. 32 West • 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5, 6, 12 and 13 and 2:30 p.m. Dec. 7 and 14 • Cost: $12 for adults and $10 for students and senior citizens • 896-2707 • www. westfieldplayhouse.org

Holiday dreams at the Palladium By Zach Manges • news@currentzionsville.com Jessamyn Anderson, a Carmel native and senior at Indiana University student, will perform this week in Carmel. music Kids from ages 1 to 92 looking to stock up early on holiday cheer can catch the Indiana Wind Symphony’s “Holiday Dreams” concert in the Palladium at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 6. “There will be a lot of familiar Christmas and other holiday songs, as well as a Anderson couple that probably aren’t really familiar to most,” conductor Charles Conrad said. Conrad founded the 75-piece Indiana Wind Symphony in 1997 with two decades of conducting experience already under his belt. Since then the ensemble has been performing six concerts a year, including this annual holiday celebration. Even veteran patrons of the event can expect a few surprises this year, though. “This’ll be the first time we’ve had a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus,” Conrad said. “They’ll be performing ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ and leading an audience sing-along. “We’re also introducing the world premiere of a new piece called ‘Winds from the Heartland’ by Les Taylor.” As if residents needed another reason to attend, soprano soloist Anderson will mark her

fourth appearance with the symphony this year. Anderson, who was singing before she could speak, is a seasoned participant in musical theater and is training classically at the Jacobs School of Music. “I have loved all my concerts with the IWS, but the holiday concert program is filled with music that brings out something special in an audience,” said Anderson. Concert goers are in store for an eclectic medley. In addition to the never-before-heard song, the set list is comprised of old Yuletide standbys like “White Christmas” and “O Holy Night,” the classical Fauré aria “Pie Jesu,” as well as selections from Disney’s 2013 hit “Frozen,” which should delight younger audience members in particular. “This concert is such a fantastic way to kick off the holiday season. The IWS is an incredible ensemble and they work extremely hard to put on beautiful concerts,” Anderson said.

New favorite: bread pudding
My mantra in the kitchen especially around the busy holiday season is: SIMPLICITY!! That’s why I love to make this glorious recipe. Bread Pudding is a popular dessert in many countries and it can be created in a number of variations. This recipe is not only delicious and easy, but it is a wonderful way to make use of leftover bread. You don’t have to make complicated or fancy recipes to eat an exquisite dessert; even an inexperienced cook can make this Bread Pudding! This Thanksgiving you can say with confidence to your host: I will bring dessert! BOURBON BRIOCHE BREAD PUDDING Prep: 20 minutes / Baking: about 1 hour / Serves: 8 Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup bourbon, 1/2 cup golden raisins, 6 eggs, 1 1/4 packed cups dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pinch of cayenne pepper, 10 cups diced brioche, left out overnight or baked in a 200F oven till dry Directions: 15 minutes prior to start making
the Bread Pudding soak the raisins with bourbon. Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the brioche cubes. Whisk until well combined. Add the brioche cubes and toss them in the liquid, pressing them down so they absorb it. Allow the mixture to sit for 1 hour. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan. Press the mixture into the pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Serve warm with crème fraîche, dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Note: It can be made early in the day and reheated.

Beat the holiday blues
Commentary by Kirsten Kaisner-Duncan
While the holiday season should be an enjoyable time, it can be a mixed bag of emotions for many people. Stress about additional family Exercise and personal obligations, financial concerns and a general feeling of “not being able to get it all done,” can take a toll. Good nutrition, exercise and sleep often take a backseat during the holidays as well, affecting both physical health and emotional well-being. As a result, some people experience the “holiday blues.” It’s important to understand that short-term holiday blues should not be confused with clinical depression or with seasonal affective disorder. Holiday blues, characterized by added stress and uneasiness associated with holidays, are temporary, while symptoms of clinical depression are persistent and may be treated with medication. SAD, like clinical depression, is a diagnosed condition linked to fewer hours of sunlight during the winter. People diagnosed with SAD have symptoms of depression not only during the holiday season, but throughout the fall and winter. If you are concerned you may be clinically depressed or suffer from SAD, see your primary care doctor right away for evaluation. For a case of the holiday blues, getting through the month of December can be easier
with these strategies: • Make an effort to stick to your normal routine as much as possible. This includes eating right, finding time for exercise and getting enough sleep. You’ll feel better overall if you’re well rested and taking good care of yourself. • Take advantage of free or low-cost holiday activities. Look for ways you and your family can enjoy the season without putting a strain on your budget. • Establish realistic goals and expectations. Consider what’s reasonable and commit to holiday activities that really matter. • Don’t be afraid to say no. Make a list of priorities, and decline non-essential invitations and requests so that you won’t be overextended. • Find time for yourself. Whether it’s enjoying a cup of tea by the fire or taking a walk on the treadmill at the gym, make time to de-stress and unwind. Kirsten Kaisner-Duncan, MD, specializes in internal medicine.

Village fragrance shop for sale By Dawn Pearson • news@currentzionsville.com The smell of a sale is in the air. The Village Parfumerie is up for sale after 10 years of being in business. small biz For all these years, owners Patricia and Jon Hussey have the classic Galimard Scents and personal fragrance creations in their store. Jon said these scents come from one of France’s oldest perfumeries. “My wife and I lived in Gary, Indiana for 40 years,” Jon said. “After retiring we decided to move to Zionsville to be closer to our daughter and grandson, so we started this business as a way to keep busy. In 2004 we went to Grasse to be trained. Since then we have helped hundreds of people create their own custom fragrance.” They are the only distributor of Galimard fragrances in Indiana, and they have customers across the United States, he said. “We are now at the age where we need to really retire so this unique business is for sale,” he said. “We think it would be a shame for the Indianapolis/Zionsville area to lose such a unique business. Training would be provided to a purchaser of the business.” The Village Parfumerie is at 112 N. Main St. in the heart of the Village and on the bricks, and offers an intriguing collection of exquisite perfumes, lotions, crèmes, soaps and linen sprays according to their website thevillageparfumerie.com.

Havana’s Hotel Nacional. (Photo by Don Knebel)
History in a Havanna hotel
Commentary by Don Knebel
The 10-story building overlooking the Havana Harbor bears an intentional resemblance to a famous Florida hotel. The Cuban vertravel sion has had a much more colorful past than its American relative. Havana’s Hotel Nacional lies on the site of an old battery near the seawall separating Havana from the Caribbean. Reportedly financed by mobsters using bootlegging earnings, the luxury hotel was planned in the 1920s to accommodate the growing number of Americans traveling to Havana to drink, gamble and ogle showgirls. The New York firm of McKim, Mead and White designed the hotel to mimic the Breakers in Palm Beach, Fla., its own design aping Rome’s Villa Medici. About 8,000 workers built the 426-room hotel, which opened in 1930 and became the favorite of gangsters, movie stars and assorted notables, including Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Errol Flynn, Rita Hayworth, Jean-Paul Sartre and Ernest Hemingway. In 1933, during the “Revolt of the Sergeants,” junior army officers led by a young Fulgencio Batista launched a bloody attack against senior officers living luxuriously in the hotel. In December 1946, 500 representatives of organized crime families met at the hotel for a six-day summit
organized by Luciano and hotel owner Lansky, who shared the hotel’s gambling profits with Batista. Frank Sinatra provided the entertainment for the infamous conclave, fictionalized in “Godfather Part II.” After overthrowing Americansupported Batista in 1959, Fidel Castro nationalized the hotel and closed its famous casino and bawdy cabaret. Castro and Che Guevara used the hotel as their headquarters during the Cuban missile crisis, protected by anti-aircraft guns positioned on the grounds. Castro refurbished the hotel in the 1990s to help expand Cuban tourism and an anti-Castro group seeking to damage the economy bombed the hotel in 1997. Today, the land on which the Hotel Nacional sits, complete with shore cannons, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The hotel’s Churchill Bar reflects Winston Churchill’s 1946 stay and a bust of Nat King Cole remembers his 1957 performances after earlier being refused entrance to the hotel because of his race. Mirroring eight decades of Cuban history, the hotel remains a sentimental favorite of Russian diplomats.

On the spot interviews at the Zionsville site will begin Sunday, November 30th at 9:00 am.
Question: “Jordan, I faithfully read and enjoy your Current column, but I think you missed the mark on Marlena’s quesgrammar guy tion (Nov. 18) about the irritating use of ‘so.’ I think you didn’t answer the question she asked, because (sorry, Marlena) I think she didn’t ask her question very well. You tackled the issue of the misuse of ‘so’ as a conjunction. I believe, though, that Marlena – and I share her irritation – is troubled by the use of ‘so’ as what I’ve seen called, variously, a ‘filler,’ ‘introduction word,’ ‘pause word,’ or the new ‘um’ or ‘well’ or ‘ya know.’ The best highfalutin term I could find is ‘discourse marker.’ I’m talking about the meaningless use of ‘so’ at the beginning of a sentence, often in reply to a question.” – Richard Dickinson Answer: Writing these columns is easy with engaged readers like you and Marlena who are both passionate and happy to do a little research for me. (In the interest of editorial transparency: For space reasons I had to cut off the end of Richard’s e-mail in which he cites a Salon article on the subject of “so.”) The rabbit hole does go deep on this one, as you note. In 2013, the Guardian published an article by psychologist and author Oliver James about “so” replacing “look” as the word of choice for “pack-
aged self-presentation.” Also in 2013, Salon columnist Daniel Rigney penned an unflattering look at the spread of so-called “so-sentences,” which he deemed a “verbal virus.” New York Times writer Anand Giridharadas in 2010 traces the origin of these “so-sentences” to the tech sector via a 1999 book on Silicon Valley by journalist Michael Lewis (“The New New Thing”). Giridharadas suggests that “so” appeals to the mind of a programmer, who writes code in a certain, logical order and might, therefore, order his speech the same way. Is there anything to that notion? Should you avoid starting sentences with “so?” If you believe some critics, it makes you sound like you’re reading from a script – not a great idea when you’re trying to speak genuinely. Then again, others say it helps create an appearance of logical connection between statements – good if you’re trying to convince someone of something. My advice would be the same as in most situations: consider your message, consider your audience and modify your language as appropriate.

“SHEN YUN” is an elegant Chinese name meaning “the beauty of heavenly beings dancing.” NOT MADE IN CHINA: For thousands of years, China was known as Shen Zhou—the Land of Divine. Chinese culture was believed to be transmitted by the divine through various dynasties. Sadly, China’s traditional culture and virtues have been devastated under 60 years of communist rule. Today you cannot see a performance like Shen Yun in China. Presented by INDIANA FALUN DAFA ASSOCIATION
