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 IPTG that was in effect at the time of the order is still in force. The changes do not automatically apply to orders or agreements that were entered beforehand, so which version 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.

Getting answers about Bariatric Surgery with St.Vincent. At the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence, we know that it’s natural to have a lot of questions about weight loss surgery before committing to a procedure. And Scott Nelson — a previous patient at our Bariatric Center of Excellence and one of the features in our TV spots — was no diﬀerent. Scott came to us with questions like: What’s the best procedure for me? What can I expect after the surgery is over? And how will the surgery aﬀect my diabetes?

By attending one of the 11 weekly St.Vincent Carmel bariatric informational seminars and discussing these questions with his surgeon during a pre-op class, Scott got the answers he was looking for. “The pre-op class and information session were especially valuable to me because I had so many questions and fears about the procedure,”said Scott. “I also found that the doctors and specialists at St.Vincent were very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made me feel more conﬁdent about my upcoming surgery.”

Since surgery, Scott has lost more than 100 pounds. And as he continues to lose weight, he feels increasingly optimistic about his future. “The greatest thing about my surgery is how I’m just not carrying that extra weight anymore. I don’t get winded doing simple things like walking up stairs, and more importantly, I know I’ll be around for many years to come so that I can take care of my kids.” To find out more about the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence, visit MyBrandNewLife.com or call 877-831-1582.

Weight loss surgery isn’t just about pounds. Obesity may be associated with diabetes, hypertension, respiratory problems, heart disease and depression—all of which consistently show improvement following bariatric surgery. In fact, more than 86 percent of patients who opt for bariatric surgery experience improved or resolved diabetes —and more than 78 percent see improved or resolved hypertension.* And the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence is by far the most experienced bariatric program in Indiana, offering both surgical and non-surgical weight loss options. As a result of our dedicated approach to education and care, our patients experience more than just long-term weight reduction—they experience notable improvement in their health.

A Call To L.I.F.E. puts you on a path to losing weight and staying healthy At St.Vincent, we realize everyone is different, and that losing weight successfully is a unique process for each individual.

A Call To L.I.F.E. is a personalized non-surgical program that helps people lose weight through lifestyle modifications and long-term weight management.

Local support gives holiday cheer By Abby Walton • news@currentzionsville.com

As the holiday shopping season comes to a close, many business owners around downtown Zionsville said they feel gratebusiness ful for all the customers who shopped local. “We were so pleased with the city and chamber’s support. The chamber did a really awesome job of spreading out activities so there was always a reason to be downtown during the month of December,” said Candece Gallmeier, co-manager of Delaney’s. New to the month-long celebration were ladies’ and men’s shopping nights. On these nights, the downtown stores stayed open late and catered to each group with special treats and deals. “On Ladies’ Night we had little desserts and then on Men’s Night, we served non-alcoholic beer and chicken wings,” Gallmeier said. While the chamber promoted the different evenings, each business also promoted specials in their own businesses. Bob Goodman of Robert Goodman Jewelers brought in a major diamond vendor, a goldsmith, and other vendors while serving special drinks. “We had great turnouts on both nights,” Goodman said. Janelle Morrison, the public relations director for Ballerinas and Bruisers, said the store saw a similar outcome.

“We just participated in the Ladies Night because of the type of store we run, but we saw lots of people as well. We still had many people in our store way after 8:30 p.m.,” she said. Morrison said many businesses cross-promoted by bringing in other businesses. For example, at Ballerinas and Bruisers, they served treats from Confectioneiress Cupcakes and Sweets and offered hand, neck and shoulder massages. Morrison, who also served on the Christmas in the Village committee, said once the holidays are over, the committee and chamber will meet to find out what people liked about the events and what they might need to tweak for next year.

Mud on baseballs

My first newspaper job was nightside sports editor for a small town daily paper. I wasn’t much of a sports fan to start plain talk with, and even after I got the hang of it and learned the jargon, I still couldn’t muster much excitement over a baseball box score. To keep focused, I dug up oddities about sports and wrote about them in between reporting on American Legion baseball games and high school basketball. One of the most riveting things I unearthed was the practice of lathering baseballs with mud. All baseballs used by professional teams today are thoroughly rubbed with chocolaty mud from the Delaware River. The practice takes the slippery shine off the ball and gives the pitcher greater control. Before Lena Blackburne, third base coach for the Philadelphia Athletics discovered the gooey substance near his home in Palmyra, NJ in 1938, balls were rubbed with tobacco juice or dirt from the ball field. Unfortunately, this tended to damage the ball cover, so when the Delaware mud was intro-

duced, it was hailed as the greatest thing since the curve ball. When Blackburne retired from baseball and started the Lena Blackburne Baseball Rubbing Mud Company, he was such a diehard American League fan that until the late 1950s he refused to sell his mud to the National League. Jim Bintliff, who runs the company today, digs up some 1,500 lbs of the stuff every year, sifts it into a fine talcum powder consistency and ships it off to the leagues. Before every game the umpires rub several dozen balls with mud. Even though his mud company has cornered the market, Bintliff admits it’s only a part-time job. He still works full time for a printing company, but says the mud business pays for a nice vacation every year. Next week I’ll tell you why the NHL freezes its hockey pucks.

No resolutions for 2014

Commentary by Julie Osborne

They just don’t work. New Year’s Resolutions, that is. At least they haven’t for me. And, here we are with another year behind us and ready to relaunch again. What has gone wrong, you ask? I have been pondering this for a while and have some ideas that became crystalized through a song and a sermon earlier this year. “I had the best of intentions from the start,” is a line from a beautiful song performed by Travis Tritt. The song is called “Best of Intentions.” Intentions, yes, they are good. And each year I have good intentions when I write my resolutions. Writing them makes them real and I actually look at the list during the year. So, why don’t they happen? It was in a sermon on March 17 by Traders Point Christian Church Pastor Aaron

My Top 3 obstacles: • Relationships - Nurture relationships that are life-giving, starting with God. Minimize time with ones that are not. • Clutter - Simplify stuff, house, life. De-clutter so I can focus on what’s most important. • Too busy/overscheduled - In the words of my son, “Mom, stop starting and start finishing.” Do not take on anything new until I finish current projects.

WANDERING AROUND Z-VILLE

Where’s Julie this week?

Brockett that I got a clue. In his sermon titled “BackBone - Under Pressure,” he spoke of intentions versus convictions and that “under pressure good intentions collapse but convictions stand.” Pressure comes in all forms from work to kids to just trying to keep things running at home. Pressure also comes through self-inflicted stuff and reveals my priorities and where I am placing my trust. So, how can I turn my good intentions into convictions? This year, I’ve decided to start with identifying my number one priority that permeates every other part of my life and the obstacles to achieving it. It can be summarized in one word - peace. This year I will seek peace, with conviction, and I have a feeling that if (I mean when) I achieve it everything else will fall into place or probably lose its importance along the way. May your intentions become convictions in 2014 and may peace be with you on your journey. Julie Osborne is the Special Project Coordinator of Current in Zionsville.

Zionsville town leaders share why they’re optimistic

By Carla Howie • carla@youarecurrent.com Optimism is the word. Both Zionsville Town Manager Ed Mitro and cover story Town Council President Jeff Papa agreed that optimism is in the air for Zionsville for 2014. “The Economic Development Strategic plan that was adopted by town council in 2013 is beginning to pay its dividends. We’ve laid the infrastructure for many projects to come to Mitro fruition and when that does, Zionsville will have turned the corner. The delivered message will be that we are open for business,” Mitro stated.

Staying the course

“Our primary concern will always be providing essential Papa services to our community; to ensure we have the funding to allow the proper functioning of the fire department, police department and others that address public safety of Zionsville residents,” Papa said. “Last year the town had to learn how to work within the state-level tax caps, tough decisions had to be made and creative ways had to be found to work within the state limits. We are very prudent with our expenditures and will hold the line in not spending down our reserves. This year’s budget process was the smoothest budget process we’ve had in years,” Mitro said.

Coming to fruition

Both leaders agreed that the aggressive and cooperative efforts of all the town’s depart-

ments to advance development is beginning to pay off and will add diversified revenue to the town’s coffers. The 315,000-square-foot future home of FedEx Ground Distribution Center, south of 106th Street and Bennett Parkway, is on course to open in late summer and the Redevelopment Commission has secured Rundell Ernstberger Associates to put together a master plan for the Creekside Corporate Parkway on the north side of the property along 106th Street and Zionsville Road. The plan will determine how much of the property can be developed to accommodate a mix of large buildings (50,000-150,000-square-feet) and small buildings (less than 50,000-square-feet) for office usage and manufacturing. The South Village construction project, which includes Bub’s Burgers, is well under way with the framing of the remaining parcels next to Bub’s. “Our focus areas for development are commercial and industrial, while being strategic. The town purchased the block of land on Main and Sycamore Streets to prevent anyone else from buying it. That is a one of the cornerstones of our town’s entrance and we wanted to preserve that space which is currently being used for the Farmer’s Market and public parking. That area should be developed to serve our downtown area and the town should determine how that area will be used, not an outside developer.

streets, that area as well, will be considered,” Papa stated. Another major development that will bring a significant enhancement to the look and feel and economy of Zionsville will be the Pittman Farm development; 62 acres at the southwest corner of US 421 and 116th Street. Rezoning of the property from residential to planned unit development was approved by town council in August. This was the final approval necessary for Pittman Investors, LLC to move forward with plans to market the area and procure commitments from prospective businesses before breaking ground.

Collaboration has its benefits

Papa discussed the annexation process between Whitestown and Zionsville and stated that the benefit of collaboration between the two leaders of the respective town councils prevented litigation and both sides made concessions easily. One of the big

“We are awaiting the analysis of the Downtown Parking and Marketing study. It will provide data to determine the best way to market the brick street district, including the South Village. It was an opportunity for a variety of voices to be heard who have a vested interest in the area. Several businesses have applied for funding from the façade grant program and for the first time since the grant’s inception, it has spent its allocated budget. The grant funding 50 percent of the project is a strong indicator that the businesses are proactively getting ready in making improvements and positioning themselves for the future. The Architectural Review Committee is guilty of its own success,” Mitro said. The town manager and the council have reason to be optimistic. They have taken the elements of the Economic Development Strategic Plan and put them into a solid action plan ready to produce the fruit of the town’s growth, a diversified tax base, long term sustainability and continued quality of life.

Entertaining year ahead

Ring in the new year

Happy New Year, folks! We are hopeful, as we’re certain you are, that 2014 will mean good health and good fortune of varieties for everyone. The new year should prove exciting for our community, what with the various projects, leadership initiatives and development, among many other topics, coming our way. Current today takes a look ahead. What should you expect? What does it mean to or for you? Where will it build efficiencies into your dayto-day existence? We hope to successfully answer those questions. From our side of the fence, the new year will bring some modest but important changes to your product in the months ahead, not the least of which will be an even stronger emphasis on the visual presentation of our news content, a more emphatic web and social-media presence, and a more heightened focus on entertainment, entertaining and the things you do when you’re not asleep, at work, at your house of worship or checking things off your to-do list. With respect to entertainment, our special projects coordinator, Julie Osborne, is developing a plan to broaden and deepen that report, to speak nothing of the way we gather it. Entertainment and entertaining finished at the top of respondents’ ratings in our independent marketplace research, and so we owe you nothing less than more of what you want. It would be helpful to know from you how we can do better in that arena. We’re not so much looking for specific story ideas as we are a better definition of what you want to know and how far in advance you want to know it. So, if you would please, e-mail julie@youarecurrent.com with your thoughts, and we will give them every consideration. Thanks for reading Current, and may yours be a very happy 2014.

The able parasite Commentary by Terry Anker It is a story as old as any. We put our leaders on pedestals only to promptly knock them off only to put them back again. You know how the rest goes. We invest in human nature, knowing its patterns, and then feign dismay as it plays out as expected. We alternatively love the best among us, then despise in them in manifesting the very qualities that we admire - bringing them in with palm fronds and carrying them out in a body bag. Is it the recovery that we seek? Is it their test of failure that reassures us in our own ambling attempts to find our way from outpost to outpost along the journey we travel? While the mere saying of it reeks of cynicism, we live in a culture where the weak ride upon the strong. We identify the best among us, attach ourselves to them as they move ever toward the top, ignoring our suspicions as we benefit from the view. Then as we surmount the very zenith, we summarily execute the

leader, the visionary who carried us past our own feeble limitations, and claim the summit for ourselves. In measure, it is part envy that drives us. And also, our own shame that we’d not overcome these self-imposed constraints to find our way without the insight and driving of the trailblazer. In our hubris, we assert victory. You didn’t do this (at very least, you didn’t do it without me). But deep down, we know that we did not reach success on our own. We lack the vision and perhaps the fortitude. So we scavenge, feeding on the hunt of others. Shouldn’t we instead admire and honor the leaders? And be inspired to lead ourselves? Is there honor in being an able parasite? Only in delusion. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentincarmel. com.

As we bring to a close year 2013 and ring in the new of 2014, I hope you have taken a few minutes to reflect on what experiences you’d like to recreate or expand upon in 2014 and what needs to be eliminated from your new year’s adventure. I chose not to label them “resolutions”, because for many; it connotes too much guilt if not achieved. And, unfortunately, too often resolutions for many, are made to be broken. For me, I am a firm believer in small base hits. I don’t expect a home run each time coming to bat, even from the most acclaimed baseball players, so why would I want to place that expectation on myself or anyone else? Small base hits in achieving whatever it is that will bring you (and myself) to achieving a great 2014, is what I wish for. Along with that, I would like to express my intention to the residents of this great community to share with me what you’d like to see coming forth in these editions. A common message around the office is, “News is what our readers say it is.” Without your input, I can only assume what may be of interest to you. Of course, I have guidelines to work within, but if there is something you think is interesting and feel would be interesting with others, please share. If there is an event, or an individual that does something extraordinary, please share. I will continue to present information coming from town government, school board information and activities, community events, organization’s activities, new business openings and anything that informs our readers of what is happening in Zionsville, however, if I’m missing something, I’d like to know and when possible, I’d like to support you. So, as we welcome 2014, let’s work together to see how many runs we can score - base hits at a time; and if we can knock some out of the park; that’s a bonus to a pitch well played.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

BELIEVE IT!

“Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.”

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In White Mountain National Forest if a person is caught raking the beaches, picking up litter, hauling away trash, building a bench for the park, or many other kind things without a permit, he/she may be fined $150 for ”maintaining the national forest without a permit”.

NEW YEAR, NEW FLOORING! Hardwood Flooring & SmartStrand Carpet

Putting the odds in my favor Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Where did the year go? I feel like I was just writing my 2013 resolutions; now I’m supposed to do it all again for 2014? Fine. humor Bring it. This plays in nicely to my theme for the next 12 months: “Become a Bad Ass.” That’s right. I’m done with the lame promises to paint my family room. It’s yellow, I hate it, but I have more important things to address. I’m tossing the unrealistic dreams of spending quality individual time at night with my children. There’s four of them and only one of me and my bedtime is before theirs. And I’m burying the “cuss-less” vow. Dropping the f-bomb is funny and liberating and I like it. So there! Nope, this year my one focus will be on transforming myself into a middle-aged Katniss Everdeen who can hold her own in any situation, from a zombie apocalypse to a dance mom meeting. To that end, here are my New Year Resolutions for 2014. As always, feel free to mock, mimic and/or judge. 1. Gain pistol certification. I learned how to fire a shotgun and a rifle in the fall, but I still need proficiency with a handgun. Sorry Katniss, but a bow just doesn’t seem practical. Arrows don’t seem appropriate for ballet recitals. 2. Do 20 push-ups. Not the baby, on-yourknees kind, but the honest-to-God GI

Jane style that will have my upper-body ripped and ready to both defend against a feral dog attack and/or break-up a teenage girl fight. 3. Skin a deer. It won’t do many any good to kill my food if I can’t access the meat. My plan is to sweet talk Doo into taking me along on one of his hunting trips to show me the ropes. As long as I don’t vomit at the sight of spilled intestines, I should do fine. 4. Explore the art of crock-pot cooking. Today’s dystopian hero, a.k.a. Supermom, must be able to work full-time and serve an occasional hot meal that doesn’t originate from Kraft. I hope to experiment my way through all 30 recipes in my new “Crockpots and You” book, and possibly invent a little venison number that’s, as my mom would say, “To die for!” 5. Learn to whistle with my fingers. Every bad ass should be able to summon her minions on demand. ‘Nough said. My quest to be 2014 Hunger Games worthy begins now. May the odds ever be in my favor, and yours as well! Peace out.

identity. Every town and city is unique. Art in Cicero is different than art in Noblesville or anywhere else.” Officials estimate that 3,000 people visited the main campus in 2013. “We’re really excited about what we’ve achieved and learned in 2013,” McGill said. “We’re building the community around the arts in 2014 and really hope people have started to feel our impact.” Combining cuisine with conversation In its second year, McGill said NPA has several new events planned, including Stone Soup Suppers where intimate dinners are held with a group of community leaders – from artists and filmmakers to local politicians. Local restaurants will provide the meal and guests will bring the stories. “We provide the host, space and food. Participants bring ideas and eagerness to talk on the subject,” McGill said. “It gives people the opportunity to have thoughtful open discussions about art and artistic endeavors during the winter.” Hosted in the Nickel Plate Arts Stephenson House, 107 S. Eighth St., Noblesville, these casual evenings are designed to resurrect the art of conversation in January through March. “If everyone brings something to the discussion, it’ll be really good,” McGill said. Confirmed speakers include Chef Wendell Fowler, local and state politicians, local film maker Kate Chaplin, local artists, writers from the Polk Street Review, and Jim Morris, president of Pacers Sports Entertainment and former director of the World Food Bank. Each attendee receives a commemorative, hand-made soup bowl created by VSA artists. Reservations are required for this arts fundraiser and cost $50 per person. Most of these dinners will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday nights. “If we get more interest we may add other dates other than Thursday nights,” McGill said.

With 1,643 home sales in November in central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 15.4 percent compared to Real estate this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company. On a monthly basis, November 2013 home sales declined 9.4 percent compared to November 2012, a decrease of 170 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. In Boone County, home sales are on pace to end in positive territory despite a drop in sales last month. • Based on the past 11 months, home sales in Boone County have increased to 1,068 from 936 – a spike of 14.1 percent compared to the same time period in 2012. • In November 2013, 57 homes sold in Boone County – 20 homes less than in November 2012. • In Zionsville, home sales dropped slightly. Last month, 35 homes sold, a decrease of

• four homes compared to November 2012. • In November 2013, the year-to-date average sales price dipped in Zionsville to $346,628 – down $13,146 from November 2012. • As inventory tightens, homes aren’t staying on the market as long. Overall for the past 11 months, homes in Zionsville have remained on the market an average of 80 days, which is 29 fewer days than the same time last year. As the year comes to a close, home sales are poised to end in the positive territory on a yearto-year basis in central Indiana. We also expect the shrinking inventory to continue driving prices up, contributing to this seller’s market that we’ve been experiencing in recent months. Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company. Comment on this article by e-mailing to editorial@ youarecurrent.com.

dispatches You, too, can be a banker - One of today’s hottest investments, peer-to-peer lending, involves making loans to strangers over the Internet and counting on them to pay you back with interest. The concept may be a bit wacky, but the returns reported by sites specializing in this transaction are nothing to scoff at. What risks you face: For the average-risk loan on Lending Club, returns recently averaged 8 to 9 percent, with a default rate of 3.5 to 4 percent. By contrast, junk bonds, which had a similar default rate this year, were yielding 6 percent. SOURCE: CNN Money

Pairing is simpler than you think Commentary by Ron Hopwood

Many wonder “am I pairing it right?” Why does it have to be so complicated? Pairing wine and foods is a totally personal opinion wine expressed by you and your creative taste experiences. Remember your palate is as unique as your fingerprints, and what you like may not be what others like, depending on their experience and palate preferences. Properly chosen, wine acts like a condiment rather than a beverage. Like salt and pepper, or the squeeze of a lemon on fish, wine enhances and amplifies food flavors. When combining wine and food, the idea is to create some kind of harmony. In order to experience this harmony you must taste the food and wine simultaneously, by combining both in your mouth at the same time. This way, you experience a much more complex flavor. Think of it this way: You would not eat your fish and then pick up that slice of lemon and

squeeze it in your mouth. It is interesting to watch people dining in restaurants. Most eat their steak and then reach for their Cabernet to wash it down, treating that glass of wine like a beverage. In order to see the magic created by “food wines” you need to take a tiny sip of wine while the food is in your mouth to get the full effect. Do you sometimes put steak and potatoes on the same fork? It is the same thing. We do it with foods all the time. Order a glass of water to clear your palate. “Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.” -Paulo Coelho Ron Hopwood is a local winemaker and owner of Hopwood Cellars Winery in downtown Zionsville.

Christmas Eve in Bethlehem Commentary by Don Knebel

Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity is believed to be the oldest complete church in the world, owing its longevity to the power travel of the Biblical wise men from the east. Although Christmas has come and gone for most Christians, the Christmas Eve service in the church commemorating the birth of Jesus is still at least a week away. After Roman Emperor Constantine accepted Christianity, he sent his already-Christian mother, Helena, to the Holy Land to find important Christian sites. She claimed to have found in Bethlehem the cave in which Jesus had been born, at the time covered by a temple to Adonis, the lover of Venus. Under orders from Rome, the temple was razed and replaced by a church in about 339. After the original church was destroyed during a revolt by Jews and Samaritans against the Byzantine Empire, Emperor Justinian rebuilt the church in essentially its current form in 565, with two rows of columns on each side of a long main floor. A fourteen-point silver star in a basement cave marks the traditional spot of Jesus’ birth. When the Persians invaded what is now Israel in 614, they destroyed all the churches they could

find. However, at least according to legend, they spared the Church of the Nativity because they concluded the wise men pictured inside were Persians and could not destroy a tribute to their countrymen. The Crusaders refurbished the church’s interior, but an early mosaic floor can still be seen through an opening in the current floor. In the 1500s, the height of the main door was lowered to less than four feet, reportedly to prevent people from riding their horses into the sanctuary. Greek Orthodox and Armenian Christians control most of the Church of the Nativity. Since they celebrate Christmas on January 7 and 19, respectively, the famous Christmas Eve service held in Bethlehem every December 24 is held in the nearby Roman Catholic Church of St Catherine of Alexandria. So you still have time to make it to Bethlehem for Christmas Eve in the Church of the Nativity, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
