11-year-old goes on U.S. 31 road trip

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Alexander Boeckmann’s idea of a dream vacation differs slightly from those of most 11-year-olds.

The Indianapolis resident decided he wanted to take a road trip up U.S. 31 to admire Roads the development that had occurred while he lived in London for three years as a result of to his father’s job.

The fifth grader studied Indiana Dept. of Transportation’s website while he was overseas, keeping track of all the new bridge work and construction completed on the highway.

“To him, this is the end all, be all,” his mother, Caroline, said. “We drove from Indianapolis up to South Bend. He studied every single intersection and every single bridge while he was overseas. He got to see in person what he had been studying for months. He was studying them all online and naturally wanted to see it for himself. That was his dream trip.”

“I think it’s cool how all the roads are built to intersect each other and to help people travel around,” Alexander said. “I want to be an engineer so I can help with the projects, too, and build new roads.”

After INDOT learned of Alexander’s road trip, engineers took him on two tours of construction sites in the county last month. One site was at the I-69 and 106th Street interchange in Fishers. Another site was at the U.S. 31 and Ind. 28 interchange in Tipton. The third destination was Westfield’s INDOT maintenance unit to see the construction industry up close.

Alexander Boeckmann visited various construction sites through the county Oct. 20. (Submitted photo)

“I got to see how they made bridges and before they actually put it in. They put a lot of ironworks and poles in, and they have to tie every single intersecting piece together,” he said. “So there’s a lot of work that goes into it. I wanted to do it so I could see more of the roads in construction with my own eyes instead of going on Google Maps. I wanted to see the roads so I could have a better understanding of what it looks like.”

Alexander has been into maps his whole life and asks for atlases for birthday presents, according to Caroline Alexander documented his trip in a blog. For more, visit londonindy.wordpress.com/2016/01/25/ road-trip/.

Fishers man receives healthcare Regent Award

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com When Steve Johnson received the American College of Healthcare Executives Regent Award, he was shocked.

The Fishers Accomplishment resident has been the chief operating officer of the Indiana Donor Network for three years, and typically the award goes to doctors or individuals from a traditional hospital setting.

“It’s a very humbling award, and I’m excited to be honored with it, but I think it’s more of a reflection of the organization and the people I’m surrounded by and work with,” Johnson said. “It’s really been amazing being associated with this organization and see it grow its mission and the positive rhetoric that it’s created around donation and transplantation.”

ACHE Regent Award recipients are recognized on experience in the field, leadership ability, innovative and creative management and more.

“That dynamic is starting to change. Steve is unique in not working with traditional hospitals, per se. He’s not a physician,” said Kit Werbe, media relations specialist for the Indiana Donor Network. “A lot of physicians win

‘Follow the North Star’ set for Nov. 17-19

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Empathy is an often overlooked human emotion. Conner Prairie is hoping to generate empathy through its November program, “Follow the North Star,” a parevent ticipatory museum experience.

Participants assume the roles of slaves journeying toward freedom through the Underground Railroad in 1836.

“It was developed to provide people and students with a historical and emotional connection to the Underground Railroad. And really we’re hoping to pay tribute to the AfricanAmericans who lived through that horrible time,” CP Director of Programs Chris Petrelli said. “We want to create an experience that helps people empathize with people struggling for freedom. We don’t contend that the programs in any way compares to the actual hardships that enslaved people endured but we do believe it’s a powerful experience.”

Guests will travel as a group as they encounter different characters. Some characters are sympathetic to their plight, and some are dangerous. None of the horrors of slavery are depicted and no inappropriate language is used.

LIMITED TIME OFFER

Actors Mike and Shirley Schmidt of Fishers portray Levi and Rachael Holsey.

The Holseys are Quakers who tell a slave catcher they are not housing any fugitive slaves in their home during Conner Prairie’s ‘Follow the North Star’ program. (Submitted photo)

“One of the things that is important about the program is that the participants on the program assuming the role of slaves are going to meet a variety of people along the way.

Those people have varied views,” Petrelli said.

“Some of them are very racist antagonists, and some of them are sympathetic to their cause and want to help them. Others are more ambivalent.”

The program explores the choices Indiana residents were faced with during the time

period: to help runaway slaves on their way to freedom or hold on to their deep-seated personal beliefs. Guests will go through a debriefing of sorts at the end of the evening.

The program, in its 18th year, runs from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Nov. 17-19. Participants must be ages 12 or older. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are $20 for non-members and $17 for members and are available online at connerprairie.org or by calling 317-776-6000.

A study published by Rush University identified a diet that can significantly reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, even with moderate adherence to the dietary pattern.

Scientific evidence continues to show that diet can actually reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. A study

by Martha Clare Morris, ScD, a professor of Nutritional Epidemiology at Rush University has shown that the MIND diet can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by up to 53% and slow cognitive decline associated with healthy aging by as much as 6.5 years. The MIND diet, is similar to the Mediterranean and DASH diets which have been shown to support cardiovascular health but it incorporates more of the foods linked by previous research to improve cognitive function and delay decline.

Morris’ MIND trial followed 923 individuals between the ages of 58 and 98 over the course of 4.5 years. Their diet was assessed using guided questionnaires and cognitive function was measured yearly using 19 cognitive tests. Participants were scored based on how closely they followed several recommended diets (Mediterranean, DASH and MIND). The

7

MIND diet was the most effective overall, as strict adherence showed an impressive 53% reduction in risk of Alzheimer’s disease and moderate adherence showed significant reduction in risk at up to 35%.

Local retirement community Westminster Village North is the first in the state to introduce a new cognitive health program centered around the MIND diet called MemoryMeals.

MemoryMeals is a new program offered through Life In The Moment, a digital platform of resources for consumers and caregivers. Created locally by entrepreneur Ashley Bryan, MemoryMeals is the first being marketed to senior organizations. MemoryMeals includes not only mind-healthy recipes, but also educational programs and brain games to build on slowing cognitive decline. A MemoryMeals app will be launched to consumers after the first of the year.

Westminster Village North is located at 63rd and Sunnyside and offers residency options for independent living, assisted living, short- and long-term rehabilitation and memory care.

eLearning conference a highlight for teachers Commentary by Susan Drumm news@currentinfishers.com A highlight of summer 2016 for many Hamilton Southeastern teachers was Launching INquiry, our Summer of education eLearning Conference sponsored by the Indiana Dept. of Education. With two inspirational keynote speakers, more than 80 different breakout sessions, and time to collaborate with colleagues, teachers left the two-day event brimming with new ideas to spark inquiry in their classrooms.

As an instructional technology coach, I’ve had many opportunities to come alongside teachers who’ve been inspired at conferences.

Teachers passionately describe how a particular best practice innovation could deepen learning in their classroom - and they can’t wait to implement this component. Too often, however, teachers’ dreams of innovation are ultimately abandoned. Why? Lack of devoted funds.

This summer’s conference story had a happier ending, thanks in large part to assistance from the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation. During our summer conference,

the Foundation partnered with us to conduct a teacher grant competition, “innovation mini-grants,” we called them. Though these mini-grants were funded primarily through conference exhibitor fees, it was the Foundation that provided the technical know-how and resources to partner with exhibitors and to design and run the grant competition.

Each summer grant award – from BreakoutEDU kits to makerspace materials to a kindergarten water wall — was aimed at jump-starting inquiry with students by giving teachers the funds needed to get projects off the ground.

HSSF brings a unique and valued vantage point to my work as an HSE educator. I hope this Giving Tuesday you’ll be unselfie and give to the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation at hsefoundation.org to enable this this dynamic organization to continue as our valued partner in learning.

Each Tuesday in November, Hamilton Southeastern Schools is highlighting teachers and students to spotlight where Giving Tuesday funds go. Giving Tuesday is Nov. 29. For more, visit givingtuesday.org.

From limestone to red brick to art deco, Indiana’s courthouses are as varied as the counties they stand in. Tours of the courthouse paintings are available during an art exhibit at Conner Prairie in coordination with the Indiana State Bar Association.

“They are the scenes of innumerable historical events in each county as the years have gone by. For example, the Hamilton County historic courthouse was the scene of the trial of D.C. Stephenson, Grand Dragon of the KKK in the 1920s,” said ISBA Board Member Douglas Church, who started the project in 2007. “Viewing these paintings permits an exploration of those wonderful historical moments for all of the counties represented in the collection.”

The exhibit, featuring 41 drawings and paintings, opened to the public in January. They have been displayed in groupings based on when the county was organized. The current display showcases the final 14 courthouses from 1830-1844.

“There is a wide variety of styles. Most were

built after the Civil War, so there is a very Victorian influence. But some have more modern facilities, and some are second courthouses,” said Lana Newhart-Kellen, Conner Prairie collections manager and registrar.

The courthouse images were created with a mixture of watercolors, acrylics and ink and pen and by professional and amateur artists selected by each county. The collection has been designated an official Indiana Bicentennial Legacy Project.

The free exhibit is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday. It will be on display through Jan. 12 on the second floor outside the administrative offices in the atrium.

We want them to have a nice Thanksgiving Day meal and maybe socialize with folks in the community.”

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com It’s late morning on a weekday, but The Well Coffeehouse Fishers has no open tables. Single patrons fill the barstools placed under a map of Africa. Families cover story converse at wood tables made by exconvicts, and the conference rooms – with tables showcasing coffee beans and photos of children in Africa – are full. The nonprofit coffeehouse has been open approximately two months and has become one of the top spots to meet or work in Fishers.

Debbie and Tony Zancanaro were physicians and unsure how to spend their time during retirement. Since they wanted to invest time in a good cause, and since Debbie had been drinking coffee since she was 5 years old, The Well Coffeehouse offered a sound solution.

Rob Touchstone and Chris Sober began the nonprofit coffeehouse in Nashville, Tenn., four years ago. The Zancanaros reached out and brought the coffeehouse to its first Indiana location in Fishers. They served on the board of directors for the Nashville location for approximately two years before starting their own location.

“We didn’t look at a lot of different sites, but we discussed a lot in our mind,” Tony said. “We thought about being close to a college campus, so we thought about Broad Ripple, Carmel, IUPUI, Butler and Fishers. We have a daughter who lives a couple miles away from here, and we were in downtown Fishers one night and looked around and got attracted to the Depot and the Switch. When we contacted them, both people said they didn’t have any space available.”

The Edge, at 116th Street and Lantern Road, did have a spot available, and the Carmel couple found the perfect location.

“We thought it would be a great place since residents live above and all the foot traffic,” Tony said.

The Well founders warned the Zancanaros that they probably wouldn’t make a profit for four to six months. It’s only been eight weeks, and The Well in Fishers has made enough

for the day. Sometimes, crowds spill into The Edge lobby. Two conference rooms are available for rent through the purchase of gift cards. The first hour of conference room use is purchased by a $40 gift card, and every consecutive hour is rented by purchasing a $20 gift card. There also are plenty of tables, barstool spots and a lobby.

Overall, The Well has built 13 wells in four years, all of which have been in Africa.

profit to supply water to a Navajo reservation home on the New Mexico-Arizona border by burying water cisterns 1,200 feet below the ground. The water supply system for one family costs $1,300. It was all raised by The Well in Fishers.

“What happens with The Well is there are organizations we work with that dig these wells that identify a need,” Debbie said. “The Well Coffeehouse is not digging wells. It’s just funding the digging of wells. It’s done through second party, such as Christian Relief Fund, Living Water, Blood Water, Mocha Club and Dig Deep.”

The Well stays busy throughout the mornings and early afternoons, and another rush comes when kids leave school

Just hear me out

F R O M T HE BA C KSH O P

Now the real work begins The silent majority has prevailed, and presumably it will be silent no more. Where we all but predicted a presidential race victory for Democrat candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton more than once in this space, we sit not with egg, but soufflé, on our faces. Internally? Relief. She did not merit the opportunity to continue her ways from the Oval Office.

Donald Trump, the since behavior-modified Republican candidate, took care of that with a monumental victory at 2:53 a.m. on Nov. 9.

It was stunning to us. Now we have hope from a source we, at best, were questioning as far as his ability to deliver the vote if not control his mouth. But Trump delivered. The polls were wrong. The experts were wrong.

The establishment game is over and out.

Now he needs to follow up on his many campaign promises, chief among them repealing and replacing Obamacare, cutting corporate and personal taxes, growing jobs, shoring up defense and borders, and tolerating nothing that is not in America’s best interests. While the silent majority did its talking at the polls, the Clinton campaign was hobnobbing with Beyonce, Bon Jovi, Cher and other entertainment luminaries, practically looking down their noses at America. Trump went straight to the people with his message. So, we are hopeful, yes, but there is a ton of work to be done. He has the office, the Senate and the House of Representatives and, we believe, eventually he’ll have the Supreme Court to launch his vision. He says he wants to heal the divide. Let that not be merely political speak. Get after it, sir, starting with a smooth and respectful transition. It can be done.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Life is for the living Commentary by Terry Anker It is a beautiful day today in Indiana. The sun is shining and all is right with the world.

In fact, we have been the beneficiaries of an unusually mild autumn (so far). Shirtsleeves and open windows have carried us much further into the calendar than we’ve come to expect. So why are so many of us entirely preoccupied, not with squeezing the last from our summer, but instead with preparing for the coming winter?

As Aesop so rightly identified centuries ago, some of us are grasshoppers and others are ants. Certainly, it takes both to make the garden grow. But just as certainly, the perspective of the two insects, so alike in so many ways, is entirely different when it comes to preparing for the future. In the fable, it is the grasshopper that finds the error of his ways. He comes to know that starvation awaits those unwilling to prepare for their own care. He learns that unnecessary dependence is folly. Check. But, could

that smarmy little six-legged ant have likewise taken a lesson? Is there joy passing us by because we fail to see it? Is our predilection toward tomorrow keeping us from enjoying today?

Sure, on balance, we’d be foolhardy to overlook a solid plan for what might come. It even makes sense to prepare for a worsecase scenario. We spend so little to insure against catastrophic loss that our failure to do so is difficult to defend. Yet, is there room for a little late harvested happiness? Are we too old, too rushed or too worried about what’s next to grab a piece of the good times around us? Maybe the better question is, can we ever be too old, rushed or worried? Life may be for the prepared, but it is also for the living.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK “Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?”

– Henry David Thoreau

May I just complain about my children for one minute? And before anyone shoots off a nastygram, let me humor preface this by stating that I actually do love my kids.

There. Happy?

‘Cause I’m not. Why is it that every day I return home from a long day of work, I am met with a countertop filled with crusty dishes and fruit flies, backpacks and stinky socks strewn on the table and floor, and at least one “What’s for dinner?” greeting.

Several times a week I also hear, “When are you going to the grocery?” and, if I’m really lucky, “Libby pooped on the carpet.”

Now, I’m not the type of person who thinks, “Yay! My family needs me!” No, my usual reaction cannot be printed here. But honestly! How hard would it be for them to pick up after themselves? They’re all capable of loading a dishwasher and scraping up canine mess. Have I just spent 18 years raising lazy, inconsiderate brats?

Granted, two of my kids are rarely home.

Tiny Dancer typically has an hour in between school and rehearsals, and Guard Girl basically lives on the band field. Still, I can’t understand why my children neglect basic sanitation protocol. They all have assigned chores. They all know how crazy a messy house makes me. Why do they continually prioritize Instagram and Xbox over their about-to-lose-it mother? Why doesn’t anyone love me?

I suppose that’s my problem. I equate a Cloroxed toilet with love. To me, the greatest gift would be to walk in on a Wednesday afternoon and see three of my precious little angels scrubbing the floors Annie-style while the fourth self-initiates a Meijer run for milk and Fruit Loops. But alas, they are still just teenagers, more interested in checking text messages than hanging up their coats. And if my husband rarely manages to rinse his plate, am I really surprised that my 15-year-olds don’t?

Thanks for listening. I feel much better having vented. And don’t forget, there is love here, at least most of the time, so no need for hate mail. Peace out.

Grumpy new man Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “Hey, there’s that grumpy old man,” said a lady at the grocery store. “‘You talkin’ to me?’”

I snapped back (Mafia-style), humor which ruined any denial I was planning to offer.

I went back over all my weekly columns since 2001 to see if I could find any evidence of her claim. I only found about 324 examples.

However, that’s over 15 years, so I think that puts me in the “easygoing kind of guy” category.

Here are some of the things I’ve complained about over the years: Cereal boxes: I can buy 50 zip-lock bags for a couple of bucks, but the skinflints at General Mills can’t find a lousy two cents to put Wheaties into a zippable plastic pouch inside their cardboard boxes. Many think the current packaging is fine. And that’s not even counting 100 billon tiny black ants.

Phone extensions: I call people in their office at a small company and their phone extension is like 78456. Seriously. How about 6? Six would be a good extension. And by the way, I live on a street with four houses, and my number is 8210. And while I’m in a grumpy mood about numbers, I don’t like having to

put in the area code to call my neighborhood across the street.

Here’s what I don’t want people to say to me when I’m out ...

“Would you like a bag for that?” Clerks ask me that all the time. That’s fine when you have several small items. But the other day I bought a small package of M&M’S. “Would you like a bag for that?” “NO, THEY ARE ALREADY IN A LITTLE BAG.” (I’m yelling again, aren’t I?).

“Have you dined with us before?” Why do waiters ask that question? How could that make a difference? No, we’ve never been here before. I see food items listed on this big piece of paper with prices next to each one. Now what do we do?

“Have any big plans this weekend?” Cashiers always ask me this on Thursdays and Fridays. I also don’t want them to ask if I had a nice weekend on a Monday or a Tuesday.

This is why I only shop on Wednesdays.

So, do you think I’m grumpy? Hey, who asked you, anyway?

Riley, Colts team up against SIDS

By Heather Collins • news@currentinfishers.com Riley Children’s Health and the Indianapolis Colts have announced their partnership for the sleep safe initiative to help reduce infant deaths and increase posiprevention tive outcomes for Hoosier babies. Matthew Cook, president of Riley Children’s Health, Kalen Jackson, vice chair and co-owner of the Indianapolis Colts, and Dr. Jerome Adams, state health commissioner for the Indiana State Dept. of Health, made the announcement last month at IU Health North Hospital.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 3,500 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly each year in the U.S. Indiana has the 10th highest infant mortality rate in the U.S. “We have the power, the power through partnership to change this,” Adams said.

When used properly, sleep sacks ensure safe sleep for newborns and help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

The sleep sack is a blanket swaddle and can be used to replace the use of loose blankets, which can be hazardous and potentially fatal for newborn babies.

The presentation also included a live demonstration of how to properly use the sleep sack featuring the newborn baby of local parents Lera and Franklin Roe. Beginning last month, Riley’s Children Heath and the Indianapolis Colts have partnered to fund the sleep sacks and will provide one free sleep sack for every baby born at an IU Health facility in the next two years.

Patty to perform Christmas concert

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Sandi Patty will perform her Christmas concert Dec. 2 at the Palladium. (Submitted photo)

Sandi Patty plans to brighten concertgoers’ holiday spirits.

Patty, a contemporary concert Christian singer known as “The Voice” for her wide vocal range and flexibility, will perform a Christmas Blessing concert at 8 p.m. Dec. 2 at the Palladium in Carmel.

“This will be 99 percent Christmas concert,” Patty said. “There are so many amazing Christmas songs.”

Several members of Patty’s family will perform with her.

“It will be sweet to feature them on a couple of songs,” Patty said. “My husband (Don Peslis) is with me, and two of my kids will be singing, and my daughter-in-law. Another kid is a road manager and another is our business manager on the road, handling all of our designs. It’s really sweet to be able to travel with my family when for so many years I had to get on a plane or bus without them. We’ll do some a cappella singing. We’re going to try to cover everything from ‘Jingle Bells’ to ‘O

Holy Night.’”

Patty, a five-time Grammy winner who had lived in Anderson since she was an Anderson University student, returned to her birthplace of Oklahoma City in 2009 when her husband got a new job.

Patty, 60, is more than halfway through her Forever Grateful Tour, which will be her final large-scale solo tour (90-plus cities) of her career. Patty performed her Forever Grateful set at her home church, Madison Park Church of God, in Anderson in April.

Now she is pleased about returning to the Palladium as part of her Christmas concert tour from Nov. 26 to Dec. 18.

“The Palladium is so beautiful,” Patty said.

“I’m excited to go there with my band show.

I’m real excited about being able to be at that amazing venue.”

Patty said she expects to see many family members and friends.

“It’s still home,” Patty said. “I’ve traveled so much all my life that I don’t consider just one place home. I really consider so many places, Indiana, Tennessee and Oklahoma City.”

‘Christmas’ at B&B opens Nov. 25

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentinwestfield.com For Deb Wims, coming home for the holidays means stepping onto the stage at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. After all, shows it’s what she’s done for 18 years as the co-host of the theatre’s original holiday production, “A Beef & Boards Christmas.”

“The Christmas show is my heart and soul at Beef & Boards. It is home to me,” Wims said.

“The holidays aren’t complete unless I’m onstage with all my dear friends at The Beef.”

When the show opens Nov. 25 for a run through Dec. 23, she again will share hosting duties with longtime friend and fellow performer, Kenny Shepard, of Fishers, who has been a part of the show since 1994. Wims joined the cast in 1996.

“I was hired as one of the dancers,” the Indianapolis actress recalled. “I was thrilled. I hadn’t done a Christmas show in several years and, being crazy about Christmas, I couldn’t

wait. It was right up my alley.”

Her attachment to the holiday classic makes this year’s production particularly bittersweet.

She will be relocating out-of-state with her

family next year, so these will be her last performances in the show.

“I will miss my friends, especially Kenny Shepard, the most. Sharing the stage with him year after year makes this show so special. He is so dear to me,” she said. “The combination of us together on the stage makes it magical.”

Shepard estimates that he and Wims have played in nearly 40 shows, including the Christmas production, in which they have played everything from romantic partners to rag dolls.

“There are triple threats, and then there are triple threats that people look forward to seeing again and again. That’s Deb,” Shepard said.

“Plain and simple, she is the heart of Beef & Boards – especially the Christmas show.

“She is special. Her abundant heart comes out in every show and every role, and like me, the audience sees it. I’m just a little luckier, because I get a close-up view.”

For a complete schedule of dates and show times, visit beefandboards.com. For reservations, call 317-872-9664.

Antique Stories and Songs – The young and the young at heart are encouraged to visit the Old Picket Fence on the second Saturday of each month for a special historical treat. Strumming her 1890s parlor guitar, Janet Gilray portrays “Miss Melody,” a Victorian schoolmarm. She will encourage youngsters to sing along or listen and learn. Mrs. Rosie M. Hoistion, proprietress of the Old Picket Fence, also is on-site to welcome guests for Gilray’s “Antique Stories/ Antique Songs” hour. Free admission. For more, visit noblesvilleantiques.com.

An artist reception will be hosted at the Carmel Arts Council Children’s Art Gallery, 40 W. Main St., from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Dec. 2.

Thanksgiving weekend tailgate Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

NOVEMBER 4 - 20

Photo Credit Zach Rosing

Thanksgiving Day has been an annual holiday in the United States since 1863. Many people trace the origins of the modern Thanksgiving Day to the harvest celebration the Pilgrims held in Plymouth, Mass. in 1621. However, their first true Thanksgiving was in 1623, when they gave thanks for rain that ended a drought.

George Washington, the first president of the United States, proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day in 1789.

Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie and vegetables. It is rivalry week in football, when cross town or cross state rivals meet. It’s usually the last big tailgate of the year.

So let’s talk about the menu for the Thanksgiving tailgate. Why not serve all the good things from the Thursday dinner? Or, you could make a turkey soup for the people chilled by late November temperatures. This year we have a new bar recipe to go with any leftover items from Thursday’s feast.

Pumpkin bars Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 4 eggs lightly beaten, 1 15 oz. can pumpkin, 1 cup vegetable oil Frosting: 6 oz. low fat cream cheese, 1/3 cup softened butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar Preparation: On the day before, preheat

the oven to 350 degrees. Stir together in a large bowl flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and cloves. Then stir in the eggs, pumpkin and oil. Mix until well combined and then pour mixture into an ungreased 15”x10” baking pan and spread evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes until a toothpick, inserted, comes out clean. Cool the pan on a wire rack.

To finish the presentation, make the frosting by combining the cream cheese, butter and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then gradually add in 4 ½ to 5 cups powdered sugar and beat to make the mixture spreadable. Frost the cooled un-cut bars and then cut them into 36 pieces. Top the bars with candy pumpkins and cover with a lid or foil and refrigerate overnight.

On game day, take the bars to your tailgate in a cooler packed with ice.

It’s ‘Game On’ for IWS

‘Christmas’ opens Dec. 8

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

By Zach Dunkin • news@currentinfishers.com

The Indiana Wind Symphony has concocted a new concert mix.

The IWS will present “Game concert On,” featuring music from video games as well as from the sports world at 7 p.m. Nov. 20 at the Palladium in Carmel.

“This is the first time we have tried this concept,” IWS Music Director Charles Conrad said. “Every organization is trying to find ways to get more audience members, especially ones from the younger set. This one has been successful for orchestras around the country.”

There are two major medleys from video games, “The Legend of Zelda” and “Final Fantasy.”

“We’re doing music from the Olympics and one about baseball,” Conrad said.

“One game-oriented piece is ‘Parkour,’ which is named for an urban street running and jumping game, similar to a military obstacle course. Another is Paul Yoder’s ‘Pachinko,’ which pays tribute to a Japanese form of a pinball machine. We’re doing ‘Olympic Fanfare’ that John Williams wrote for the 1984 Olympics. It’s a medley from ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ and the ‘Imperial March’ from ‘Star Wars.’”

Following last year’s successful world premiere, Actors Theatre of Indiana’s “Completely Christmas holiday Cabaret” will return with some new songs and a new location for this year’s holiday season. Starring ATI’s own Don Farrell and New York City’s MaryJayne Waddell, the Farrell show moves from The Warehouse in Carmel to the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts, Dec. 8-10.

“The response for last year’s debut was overwhelmingly good,” said Farrell, who cofounded ATI in 2005 with Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins. “Both were sold-out performances and the feedback was enthusiastically positive. Now, we are looking forward to transforming our home at The Studio Theater into a new cabaret space.”

Performing in a cabaret-like setting and backed by a musical trio, the two long-time friends will present an evening of recognizable holiday songs and stories, plus other not-so-familiar tales and tunes. They will share personal stories and remembrances

The Indiana Wind Symphony will perform “Game On” concert at 7 p.m. Nov. 20 at the Palladium.

A new number is Anthony O’Toole’s “Fanfare to The Hammer,” a tribute to baseball legend Hank Aaron, nicknamed Hammerin’ Hank.

There will be “The Indianapolis Newsboys Band” march, which was made up of children who delivered the Indianapolis News, an evening paper that folded in 1999.

“It was written about 1904, and an interesting tie-in is my wife’s mother (Hazel Calvert) was, I believe, the last soprano soloist with this band, and that would have been in the 1940s.”

Conrad said audience members are encouraged to arrive in costume, either in support of a sports team or video game. For more, visit indianawindsymphony.org and thecenterpresents.org.

of Christmas that were unique to them but other stories the audience can relate to. They also will talk about the history of Christmas and how some of its traditions originated, “pulling back from the commercialism of Christmas and get back to what Christmas is all about,” Farrell said.

“The audience really liked the fun, new songs we introduced to them Waddell to as well as the familiar songs we included, plus the personal stories and nostalgia,” said Farrell, adding there will be some new tunes added. “We really want the audience to feel like they are invited to a Christmas party MaryJayne and I are throwing with the ‘home’ quality we create.”

Farrell said four-top cabaret tables will be added on the floor of the theater, where there will be VIP opportunities for people to sit. The regular thrust configuration of the audience seating will remain.

Advance tickets are $35 for adults and $20 for students and are available visiting atistage.org or calling 317-843-3800. VIP stage side seating is available for $40 per person.

Bathed in luxury

CURRENT10

Commentary by Randy Sorrell Style, modern, luxury spa and elegance best describe this graciously sized master bathroom remodel. It is a result of Home decor careful planning, strong influence from the homeowners’ refined taste and a skilled interior decorator.

BATHTUB. ITALIAN MARBLE. The sleek arched lines of the stunning bathtub are in vibrant contrast to the surrounding linear space and serves to elevate the bathtub as a primary focal point. Italian 18” square carrara marble installed on a 45-degree bias adds a sense of drama to the space. Marble is a timeless surface that remains in style regardless of whimsical trends that seem to disappear after a few seasons. Notice the contrasting marble laid in a herringbone pattern in front of the tub creating a “marble rug” effect!

Trajan’s Bed on Agilkia Island, Egypt. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Philae: A temple, bed and comet Commentary by Don Knebel An important Egyptian temple complex survives because of an extraordinary journey. It is remembered by another extravel traordinary journey to a comet.

When Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in 332 B.C., he was proclaimed pharaoh and considered himself a god. After Alexander’s death in Babylon in 323 B.C., his general continued the idea, becoming Pharaoh Ptolemy I. His son, Ptolemy II, built a temple to the Egyptian Goddess Isis on Philae Island in the Nile River near Aswan. The temple, mimicking much older temples, showed Ptolemy II among the Egyptian gods. Later Ptolemaic pharaohs added their own touches to the temple.

When Cleopatra, the last Ptolemaic pharaoh, died in 30 B.C., Romans took control of Egypt, and their emperors began acting like pharaohs.

In about 100 A.D., Emperor Trajan added to the Philae Temple an aesthetically pleasing 14-column pavilion that served as a river entrance to the temple and a place for storing the boat on which Isis traveled on the Nile. The walls of what is often called “Trajan’s Bed” were deco-

rated with images of Trajan offering incense to Isis and Egyptian gods.

The first Aswan dam partially submerged the Philae temple and Trajan’s Bed. With the building of the Aswan High Dam, the Philae structures were threatened with total submersion. Engineers working for nine years with UNESCO removed the temple complex from Philae, block by block, and reassembled the buildings on higher Agilkia Island, modified to resemble Philae Island. Today, the temple to Isis and Trajan’s Bed are among the most intact of all ancient Egyptian temples. In 2004, the European Space Agency launched the Rosetta spacecraft toward comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The lander was named Philae in honor of the temple. The name of the 2014 landing spot, determined by public vote, was Agilkia, the destination of the Philae Temple and Trajan’s Bed. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Join us for Setting Inspired Holiday Tablescapes presented by David Jackson of David Jackson & Co. at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 15 at the Indiana Design Center, 200 S. Range Line Rd. Light refreshments will be provided.

Keep veggies crunchy – When radishes, celery or carrots have lost their crunch, simply pop them in a bowl of iced water along with a slice of raw potato and watch the limp vegetables freshen up right before your eyes. Source: Esquire What size turkey to buy? – How much turkey will you need for Thanksgiving? Generally, you will need one pound of bone-in turkey per person. Smaller birds have a smaller meat-to-bone ratio, so you might want to go with two pounds per person. Also, if you want plenty of leftovers, two pounds per person will provide more than enough to feed everyone.
