New owner for Hawthorns Golf – Concert Golf Partners has acquired Hawthorns Golf & Country Club of Fishers. The court granted the sale as a result of Concert Golf’s plan and input from members. A voting process showed that 93 percent of Hawthorns members who participated were in favor of the Concert Golf plan. Members of the Hawthorns may now enjoy reciprocal privileges to Concert Golf’s eight other upscale clubs, in addition to several other clubs throughout the country. Former members of the Hawthorns who had resigned now have hope of receiving a partial refund. Concert Golf will honor resigned members’ investments with a 10:1 payout ratio. That means resigned members will be refunded at 40 percent of then-current initiation fees.

Robin DeTrude in her salon, Elaine’s, near a reproduction of a newspaper story about her great aunt and salon namesake, Elaine Townsend.

Salon namesake inspires movie

By John Cinnamon • news@currentinfishers.com Who was Elaine Townsend?

Savvy businesswoman? Government informant? Casino operator? A woman whose death biography in 1964 at the age of 46 is shrouded in mystery? Why, even the name “Elaine Townsend” was one she made up. It sounds like the makings of a Hollywood movie. And if Townsend’s grandniece, Robin DeTrude, has her way, that’s just what it will be. Robin and her husband Kevin DeTrude, of Fishers, are in negotiations to have Elaine Townsend’s story made into a major motion picture.

Most of what Robin DeTrude knew about her great aunt she learned from her paternal grandmother, which wasn’t much. “We’d be out to lunch and I’d move a certain way and she’d get a look on her face,” DeTrude said of her grandmother. “I said, ‘What’s going on?’ and she said, “You remind me so much of Margaret.’”

Margaret Helgeson was Townsend’s birth name. “I said, ‘Well, tell me about her,’ and she wouldn’t,” said DeTrude, owner of Elaine’s Salon in Fishers – an homage to Townsend.

It wasn’t until DeTrude inherited her late grandmother’s scrapbook that more pieces of Margaret Helgeson’s life fell into place. Graduation announcements and newspaper clippings led the DeTrudes to do more research at libraries and on the Internet. They found

that Helgeson was born in Wyoming in 1919 and, in 1940, moved by herself to Hawaii at age 20. “We see (Margaret Helgeson) in the 1920 census,” said Kevin DeTrude.

“We see her in the 1930 census, then nothing.”

As Robin and Kevin would find out later, sometime between 1940 and 1946 while in Hawaii, Helgeson changed her name to Elaine Townsend. No one knows why.

Once the DeTrudes made the connection that Margaret Helgeson was Elaine Townsend, the trail led to Havana, Cuba, and even more intrigue. Townsend had moved there in 1947, initially buying into the dice concession at the Gran Casino Nacional for $30,000 cash.

By 1950, she was running two Havana casinos and associating with mobsters and movie stars, alike.

The DeTrudes’ movie plans are not the first time Elaine Townsend has received the Hollywood treatment.

A script about her life was written in the early 1950s with Lucille Ball set to play the lead. But Kevin DeTrude believes a newspaper article at the time led the mob to put the kibosh on the production. “In one of those articles,” DeTrude explains, “Elaine is outed by a quote from the screenplay writer as someone who is providing valuable information to both the Cuban and American governments.”

Pamala L. Hall, who is writing the new script for the DeTrudes, calls Townsend “strong, but with an innocence that puts her amidst very intriguing circumstances.”

Officials open North Road

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com

The Fishers Town Council officially opened the newly named North Street and celebrated the reconstructed Maple Street downtown with a ribbon-cutting ceremony development Nov. 5.

The infrastructure improvement project included the extension of Fishers Crossing Boulevard (now North Street) from Lantern Road to Municipal Drive. Construction included the addition of sidewalks, ramps and 60 additional parking sports. At the railroad crossing, gates and signals have been added to allow traffic to flow until a train is detected.

After thanking A&F Engineering for project design, Butler, Fairman and Seufert for inspection work and the team of town officials, Mayor-elect Scott Fadness explained the significance of the project. “It’s not what the road looks like today, but what is underneath that is extraordinary for tomorrow. The water and sewer improvements are a catalyst for future development,” said Fadness.

The downtown road improvements will help mitigate traffic along 116th Street by providing an additional access point to the municipal district.

“This is another great addition to our downtown development. It provides an opportunity to expand and grow,” said John Weingardt, president of the Fishers Town Council.

Food pantries address need

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com People may find it hard to believe that a need for food pantries exists in Fishers; however, food insecurity is a reality for a numhelping ber of area families. Several food pantries around the Fishers area distribute food and personal items on a regular basis and these organizations count on donations from individuals and community groups.

Come-To-Me Food Pantry at Fishers United Methodist Church, 9690 E. 116th St., is just one local organization dedicated to providing help all year long.

“People don’t think there is a need in Fishers,” said Linda Williams, director of Come-To-Me. “We had a difficult time when we wanted to get started seven years ago because people said, ‘This is Fishers, there can’t be a problem here.’”

Debbie Driskell, Delaware Township trustee, agreed that some Fishers residents may not be aware of the need for food assistance. Her office runs a food pantry out of the Delaware Township building at 9090 E. 131st St. in Fishers. The pantry served 880 households in 2013 and distributed 34,408 pounds of food, household supplies and personal items.

Whelchel said that Fishers Rotary will donate this year to the Sally Burton Food Pantry at St. Louis de Montfort Catholic Church and to Food 4 Souls, which distributes to the homeless in downtown Indianapolis. In fact, this is the time

of year when food pantries count on a surge of donations.

“People think about giving food at this time of the year,” said Come-To-Me’s Williams. “We take in more now than at any other time during the year and we need to have that food in the pantry so we can distribute it all year-round.”

Interested in helping? Most area food pantries accept food and/or financial donations. Check their websites for details. “We want to help people get food,” Williams reiterated. “The need is greater than we all believe.”

Odd history of a Fishers landmark

317.599.4813

By Beth Clark • news@currentinfishers.com The faded State Farm Insurance signs seem garish and out of place plastered to the windows of the stately back in the day brick structure that has stood on the corner of 116th and Jaycee streets in downtown Fishers since 1884. The brick building in the heart of town, first a store, then an American Legion post, now an insurance agency, has a rich history more closely aligned with the field of insurance than one might think.

The building was commissioned in 1884 by Samuel L. Trittipo to house his general store. Trittipo was a shopkeeper in the little town north of Fishers called New Britton and was the town’s postmaster. Capitalizing on the success of the railway and the expansion of Fishers, known then as Fisher’s Switch, he moved a stop south and built a store closer to the rail line. His son Albert succeeded him in the business, also assuming the title of Postmaster of Fishers in 1913.

The Trittipo store was a lucrative business for many years, owing to the tenacious and “spirited” nature of the family. The patriarch, Samuel Sr., moved his wife and eight children from West Virginia to Hamilton County in 1840. Samuel L. was orphaned at a young age and his brother John Wesley was apparently no role model; John was killed early in life in a fight at a party near Fortville.

The upstairs tenant of Samuel L.’s store, was

Fishers Lodge No. 440 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Fishers’ IOOF was founded in 1874 as a chapter of the benevolent fraternal service organization derived from the British Oddfellows of the 18th century. A very early photograph of the store from 1894 clearly shows a stone marker at the top of the building engraved with the letters IOOF to designate the lodge. The order purchased the second story of the building around the turn of the century for $900.

Hamilton County Historian David Heighway has written on the history of local fraternal societies like the IOOF 440. Interestingly, he noted that members would have carried life insurance through their lodges. Like good neighbors, IOOF lodge members cared for their community through service and for each other through insurance.

Film explains killer’s perspective

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com

The thrill from watching a horror movie is the character that viewers love to hate: The evil guy who preys on innocent movie victims.

But what if the killer was actually not so different from us?

An upcoming thriller features the perspective of a killer in “Made Me Do It,” written and directed by Benjamin Koppin, a former Fishers resident.

In the movie, a masked killer attacks college student Ali Hooper and her little brother; the siblings must uncover the attacker’s painful past if they hope to survive the night.

Koppin, 25, runs a film company, Ironside Productions LLC, with his wife, Kristin, and older brother, Matthew. The trio graduated from Hamilton Southeastern High School. Benjamin and Matthew also attended the J. Everett Light Career Center radio/TV program. Benjamin attended Biola University in southern California and was a cinema and media arts major. The Koppins have lived in Los Angeles for eight years.

Koppin’s parents have supported his film aspirations since he was a child, loaning him their camcorder so Koppin could create short films.

“They created (Ironside Productions LLC) in Indiana for us when we were in college,” Koppin said. “Once we graduated, we moved it out to

California and have been running it ever since.”

Koppin was inspired by the idea of creating a character flawed and misunderstood as opposed to evil or bad from helping his mother with a school club that she ran.

“You would get all kinds of atrisk teens showing up to this club, some of whom would be dealing drugs in school, suicidal or were violent against their families and themselves,” he said. “I remember my mother telling me that there’s always a reason for why people are the way they are and what you would almost always find is that something had happened to these teens to cause them to act out in this way. Whether it was neglect, an abusive parent, mean peers, etc.

“So I wanted to take that idea and put it within a more entertaining context. In our culture, we are so quick to point out someone/something as ‘evil’ and get an ‘us’ vs. ‘them’ mentality. I just think that if we took more time to understand why people are the way they are, we would have more grace and love for each other. This does not justify negative actions, but it gives us a more thoughtful lens to look at the people around us.”

Koppin said he hopes the film will be completed before December so that audiences in Indiana can enjoy it by the holidays.

On Nov. 3, Kroger presented an updated proposal to the Fishers Town Council for its planned expansion at 116th development Street and Olio Road.

The original proposal did not receive a good response from the council in March and members of the public also expressed concerns. In response, Kroger held public meetings to seek input from residents.

Kroger wants to build a new 123,000-squarefoot store directly behind the current store, which is 65,000 square feet. The current store would be demolished once the new store is open and that space would be converted into a landscaped area and more parking. Mark Salma, from Kroger’s central division real estate office based in Indianapolis, said the company responded to comments from the neighborhood.

“There was concern about a new driveway that we had proposed at the western edge of the shopping center,” Salma said, “so we subsequently deleted the driveway from our plan and introduced a water feature in its place.

There were comments requesting a boulevardstyle entry coming in off Olio Road, so we now proposed a tree-lined entry element coming off

Olio and leading to the new Kroger area. There were some comments about the retro-fitting of the retail shop building that will remain in place that is currently adjacent to Kroger, so we have responded to those requests.”

Salma also said that there were misconceptions about some of the product lines that the larger store would carry. Some people believed the store would be a super center selling appliances, bicycles and electronics. Salma said that Kroger has attempted to clarify that it is still a food store and that the percentage of food sales to non-food items will remain essentially the same. He said that many food departments will actually be much larger. For instance, the plan for the service deli is to be five-and-a-half times the current size.

Salma said the council response to the new plan seemed positive. “We were very happy. We felt that our proposal was very well received and the meeting seemed to go very well,” he said.

“The planning department gave a very positive description of our project and the council took it under advisement and agreed to allow us to take our proposal to the next step in the process.”

That next step is to go before the Fishers Plan Commission before returning to the council for another reading and public comment. If the plan receives the go-ahead, Salma predicted it will be 18 months before the new store is open.

If church is a business, business is good Commentary by Mike Colaw

We Americans live in a day and age where there is an abundance of Christian resources available ... more variations spirituality of Christian music, more Christian books, more versions of the Bible and more tools to examine Scripture than any other time in history. Not just the ideal time, but the ideal geographic location.

In North America, we have more resources available and the disposable income to get them.

If information about Christianity is our goal, we live in the best time and place to get it.

The business of church is good! We are selling more books than before, pumping out more music than ever before and now with Christian higher education online, we are educating more and more of those who wouldn’t have been able to get a Christian degree before.

The problem is Church isn’t a business, it’s a social and spiritual transformation movement.

The church is about people, not products. Let me be very clear: People are not products! We can simultaneously sell lots of Christian stuff and yet lose social influence in a community.

Somehow we forget that the purpose of that which we produce is supposed to be for the people, not the other way around. People want to be given love and hope, not sold a product.

The church has lost social influence by almost all statistics. I believe the church will continue to lose influence unless it does three things.

1. We must get back to our roots. When the church in Acts was formed, it wasn’t about making money; it was about being the hands and feet of Jesus. It must be our mission to take care of the poor, orphans, widows and demonstrate love to our communities, all while unapologetically proclaiming Jesus as the reason for this.

2. We must stop looking at our own numbers and instead focus on cultural statistics.

I get it. I am leading a growing church!

It’s easy to get excited about the numerical growth in our churches all while the number of Christians in our communities is going down. We need to count the right stats. We shouldn’t just focus on what is happening inside our doors, we need to pay attention to what’s happening around us, too.

3. Last and most important, our deepest hope and greatest satisfaction must be in Jesus.

Make quick decisions Commentary by CJ McClanahan Every weekend, the family goes out to dinner.

We typically choose from six to eight different restaurants. Like move the needle all good husbands, when my wife asks where I’d like to eat, I respond with “I don’t care” or “you choose.”

This answer rarely suffices. In fact, it usually draws a scowl. So I then think about each menu, location and environment in my mind, trying to identify which one fits my current mood.

Typically, nothing jumps out and often we jump in the car without a destination and make our choice based on the amount of cars in the parking lot.

This sort of ambiguity is completely acceptable on a Saturday night.

However, uncertainty in business can have significant consequences.

Have you ever waffled for months before firing a bad employee? What about that new product/service that you’ve been thinking about offering for years?

Most people sit on the fence because they are afraid of making the wrong decision. They wonder, “What if you can’t replace that employee or the advertising campaign fails?”

You might end up saving a few dollars in your marketing budget, but there’s a problem with this type of thinking. It will keep you from making any real progress in your business.

Successful people share a common characteristic. They take risks and make quick decisions.

Sometimes, these decisions end up being wrong. However, the most important benefit of taking risks isn’t always making the right decision.

The most valuable part of getting off the fence and making a quick decision is the lesson you learn.

Stop waffling and get moving.

Fishers Rotary Club has provided 100 wells serving 100,000 people in Sierra Leone

It took a little longer than three years but Approximately $300,000 has been raised by the Fishers Rotary Club and the rest has come from cover story the Fishers Rotary Club is grants from the International Rotary Foundation. now celebrating that 100th Branum said Rotary International gives out well. The club has taken on many ambitious $110 million per year in grants and it’s not easy goals in its 23 years of existence. Most are of a local nature but the Water is Life initiative is on a to get a share of it. “It’s very competitive. They are very strict and sustainability is a key.

They also have to witnessed while there. confirm that the local Branum said members community wants it, were touched and -Tom Branum, Fishers Rotarian and local Rotarians approve wanted to do something Rotary District Governor for it and the community to help. will be trained to take “At the time the quesCentral Indiana care of it. tion was can we do The locations of the wells have been spread something breathtaking? Really step out in front all around the country of Sierra Leone and each and lead. It was a gut check but some of the key provides fresh water for 1,000 people. “Every year leaders of the club said they thought we could we’ve saved lives,” Branum said, “We know that do it,” Branum said. “We did three wells with our in the first village we went to which we’ve been own money just to do a proof of concept. And to twice as a club, we saw the well be opened from that point we started doing what’s called on the first visit. We went back and on the second visit they said they had had no water borne illnesses in that village since the well was put in.” Normally, according to Branum, an average of 7-10 people in a village will die from water-borne illnesses each year and many more will become ill.

The Fishers Rotary has committed to build another 100 wells to serve another 100,000 people and Branum said the future wells will be built near ebola treatment centers. Sierra Leone is one of the countries hard hit by ebola and, as a result, no one from the Fishers Rotary is planning a visit there this year.

The $300,000 raised by the Fishers Rotary has come from the annual Charity Ball for Water is Life.

“We went back and on the second visit they said they had had no water borne illnesses in that village since the well was put in.”

The third ball is set for Dec. 6 and will feature a live and silent auction, entertainment and a reception. Auction chair Beth Hodgin said it’s a very Christmas-themed event. “The evening is very festive from a standpoint of a Christmas type of theme. So my wish for every package that goes out the door is that it look like a present,” she said.

The live auction focuses on experiences such as trips, sporting events or a ride on the Brewsline. The club is still accepting auction donations and sponsors.

Fishers Rotarian John Ossim, who is in charge of ticket sales, said 336 tickets are available every year. “We typically sell out. Last year we sold out three weeks ahead. The year before was pretty close,” said Ossim who estimates that the event raises between $50,000 and $60,000 per year.

Club president Michele Whelchel said she believes the giving nature of the Rotary reflects the Fishers community. “Our community is very philanthropic,” Whelchel said. “We have so many community members that will be attending. They know that they are going to have a good time, but, more importantly, they know that they are giving and that they are saving lives because we are providing clean water.”

For Branum, it goes beyond raising money.

“For us it’s about leadership,” he said. “We know that other people might see our model and say ‘we can do that too’. And that’s probably as important as raising the money. Even this water project is about making 100 communities stronger and healthier and leaving good impressions as Americans.”

Curves ahead

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Hear us now, believe us later

Random thoughts while anticipating the full-fledged kickoff of the holiday season, even though it has been under celebration in certain mass retailers since, oh, about Aug. 17: • We were taken to task last week for our column of two weeks ago about Hillary Rodham Clinton. Once more, we have been accused of attacking only the Democratic Party.

We’re told we never take umbrage with what the Republicans do – and nothing could be more distant from the truth. You’re staring at the words of two fiercely independent voters and we will repeat once more, with the same conviction, this: Our nation deserves to have a viable third party. The two existing parties have shown often enough they can screw up a two-car funeral. Questions?

• One of us was flying back to Indianapolis from points west late last week, when the plane was forced to return to the gate because a passenger began experiencing a nosebleed. No one wanted to say it, but many were thinking, Is this Ebola? An ambulance met the plane at the gate, the passenger was checked, treated, cleared and permitted to re-board the aircraft. While the delay was somewhat troubling, coming at the end of a long day, the abundance of caution deployed by the carrier and the medical personnel not only was prudent, but it also was fairly comforting. Such are the times in which we’re living these days.

• And about the coming holidays, we’re fairly energized around here for the delivery of our Gifts 2014 special section, which will be included in the Nov. 25 edition of Current. This year, we’re focusing on “Hoosier Holidays,” which means gift items will have had to be designed, manufactured or otherwise created in Indiana.

Overall, we hope you’ll find the information a meaningful and useful way to navigate the season. And, no, we’re not going to tell you to avoid holiday debt by cutting up your credit cards or sticking to a budget; we’ll leave that to other media sources.

Agri-culture

Commentary by Terry Anker

At a recent dinner, I was introduced to the speakers’ podium with a reference to my rural roots. “Believe it or not,” it was declared with a grin, “Terry grew up farming.”

Raised in unincorporated Indiana, somewhere between Delphi in Carroll County and Monticello in White County, my earliest memories are of chasing my granddad around to “help” with chores. Ultimately, our family owned a fertilizer and seed distribution company, which meant long days (and often nights) of driving nurse trucks and delivering anhydrous ammonia to waiting tractors.

Yet, Mom and Dad always focused on keeping me and my sister in the classroom. It wasn’t until years later that I began to realize how little they’d expected of me – and how much of the burden that they’d carried, especially in the spring and fall. Dad would arrive home well after dinner. Mom would have me fed and finishing my homework. In the hardest times, we’d meet Dad for supper in the field on a pickup truck’s

tailgate. Mom worked a full-time job in town and still managed to keep everything running.

Winters were slower. School activities and the occasional fishing or hunting trip filled the calendar. This all seemed very natural to me. It was our culture. Our agri-culture. Everybody worked.

Everybody worked hard. Sure, we had fun; but when the skies were dry and the season was in, we stayed in the fields – it might rain tomorrow.

The farms once known to populate most of our fair state have faded into our collective memory. Large, capital-intensive operations continue to consolidate production. We may be better off for it. But what of our culture? Even as urbanization replaces traditional America, what can we expect? For me, I value our agri-culture and hope that it continues to have a place in the new order.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

– Thomas Sowell

You know you’re in a bad way when you find yourself huddled in the garage, tears and mascara streaming down your face, shoving empty Capri Suns, a used coffee filter and two wet paper towels back into a ripped-open trash bag and cussing the living daylights out of your stupid Labrador. Flashback to a couple of Sundays ago, and that was me. Obviously not the pillar of graceful beauty I’d been going for. How did I get there? Read on, my friends.

You may recall that my life has been a bit stressful of late. Work, parenting, hormones . . . an evil trifecta hell-bent on sending me into a mild middle-age funk. I thought I’d managed the worst of it, but the universe had a few more curveballs to throw in my direction, starting with a sudden week-long business trip for my husband Doo that began the same day as my first-ever speech team coaching gig. Ten hours at a local high school on a Saturday plus my unnerving experience driving a mini-bus to and from said high school already had me a bit grumpy when I arrived home that evening to begin my term as a single mom. But when I saw the state of the house, I really lost it. I screamed at kids and threw dishes and then stormed outside to begin disassembling our blown-over, left-to-die Halloween decorations just so I could have a moment alone.

Luckily for all involved, I went to bed soon thereafter before I could do any real damage.

The next morning, I felt only slightly better, as nightmares of a zombie apocalypse robbed me of blissful sleep. Then another curveball.

My youngest learned that her good friend’s father had passed away the day before. She held it together for a while, but on the way to Sunday school, finally broke down. Her comment, “I can’t imagine not having my daddy,” broke my heart.

As guilt from the previous night’s mommy rampage settled in, so did the awareness of how petty my issues have been. I was a horrible person for complaining about a dirty kitchen and bratty children and an absentee spouse (even though he was probably enjoying a nice steak dinner before heading off to his clean, quiet hotel room).

So when I pulled back into the garage and saw trash strewn across the floor, well, there you have it. The build-up of fatigue, bitterness and sadness over the last day and a half erupted into a geyser of sobs and F-bombs.

Not my finest moment.

I’m pleased to report, however, that I’m mostly back to normal, undoubtedly just in time for another curveball. I’ll keep you posted!

Peace out.

Reader defends Clinton Editor, After reading your attack on the “weak minded liberal people,” I couldn’t just throw your paper in the trash without responding. It’s an insult to attack Hillary Clinton’s intelligence and accomplishments by stating that all she did was to “marry well.” That’s a chauvinistic remark that insults women.

We all have faults. We all make mistakes. I didn’t see you including in your article the fact that she later corrected herself by restating what she has, in fact, been saying for years.

It seems you are fostering a society of haters,

when articles are written that attack someone in the manner in which yours did. Whatever happened to practicing the golden rule, honesty is the best policy or before we judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes?

I hope Hillary runs in 2016. I’ll vote for her, not just because she’s a woman, but because she is the best candidate. She has the experience, the wisdom, the strength, the discipline, the passion, the confidence and the heart!! And she will win!!

And women everywhere will rejoice! And maybe even a few sensible men.

Democratically yours,Beth Trzcinski

Flu story disputed Editor, In the November 2014 issue of Current in Fishers, there was an article titled “Is the flu vaccine safe?” It referenced sources from Johns Hopkins with reasons doctors are against the vaccine.

I cannot substantiate that data via the Johns Hopkins website. Further, the article references a publication made by a Johns Hopkins Ph.D. named Peter Doshi. If you search the Johns Hopkins doctors directory, this name is not found on the staff at Johns Hopkins. The reference to the article I found published by this (former) employee and postdoctoral fellow was published

May 16, 2013 .

Johns Hopkins’ website promotes the flu vaccine and requires it for all of its employees (which may be why he wrote this editorial article?). I do not think the Fishers’ Current article accurately captured and represented Johns Hopkins position on flu vaccination. I appreciate the position and quote from the local area doctor, however I feel this article was slanted rather negatively toward the flu vaccine.

Please check your sources. Thank you, Lisa Ferguson, 46038

Bennett brings energy and ‘heart’ to Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

At 88, Tony Bennett recently became the oldest performer to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with his album with Lady Gaga. Bennett broke his previous age record of 85, set when concert “Duets II” made No. 1 in 2011.

“I don’t view it as reinventing myself as I am singing the songs that I have made the cornerstone of my recording career, but what thrills me about working with these younger artists is it exposes their audience to the Great American Songbook so that this music continues to be explored and discovered,” Bennett said. “Particularly with my new album with Lady Gaga — as she is a fantastic jazz singer — so I know that all her millions of fans will now listen to how great she sounds and start appreciating jazz music and popular standards.”

Bennett will perform at the Palladium in Carmel at 8 p.m. on Nov. 21 with his daughter Antonia.

Bennett answered some questions from Current about his legendary career.

Thirty years ago, did you think you would still be doing live shows today and how have you kept so active?

Performing in front of a live audience has

always been the biggest thrill for me because it’s spontaneous and it’s the most direct communication you can have as a musical performer. So I think the fact that I have always been touring throughout my career has been a key part to my longevity. It’s a bit easier now with one show a night than when I started out at the Paramount Theatre and we did seven shows a day, but I still love it. I like to make people happy and I hope when they leave the theater they have forgotten some of their own problems and have just enjoyed themselves.

You’ve performed with the greatest of the greats, which one stands out the most for you?

That is very tough as I toured for two years with Lena Horne, but I have to say singing and knowing Judy Garland has been a treasured part of my career. She was a complete original and an authentic artist of the highest measure and a dear friend.

You’ve said you never sing “I Left my Heart in San Francisco” the same way. How hard is to keep challenging yourself that way?

As an entertainer, it is my responsibility to ensure that the audience enjoys themselves, so I want to perform the songs that I know the

audience has come to hear me sing so it’s not hard at all. I tour with a magnificent jazz quartet and I have always gravitated to performing with jazz artists because they are master musicians which enables them to be spontaneous. We can decide to change the tempo of a song 10 seconds before we perform it on stage, depending on the pacing of the show and if we need to do an up-tempo or move to a ballad. So every show is different from one night to another because every audience is different and they are as much a part of the performance as we are.

Which Great American Songbook performer do you most admire and why?

I really admire them all because they are keeping the finest popular music ever written alive by choosing to perform and record these songs.

There was a golden age of songwriting in America in the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s when you had (George) Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, just a once-in-a-lifetime moment when these master craftsmen were writing songs. And I believe these songs will ultimately become America’s classical music.

‘Pete ‘n’ Keely’ a must for this month Commentary by Jillian Albrecht Seasonal affective disorder starts to affect all of us this time of year. To combat our SAD symptoms, we can use special theater lights, take vitamin D or move to a tropical island. However, I think it’s at least worth a try to take in a fabulous musical comedy before I start shopping for Bermuda shorts. I’ll have the opportunity to do just that this month in The Studio Theater at The Center for the Performing Arts when “Pete ‘n’ Keely” opens.

The show centers on Pete and Keely reuniting for a television special that’s meant to capitalize on their former success as a singing duo. The only possible issue. The two haven’t said a word to each other since their explosive break-up five years ago. Will they fall in love all over again or will they end up on tabloid covers in handcuffs?

Either way, the show must go on, and you’ll have to come to the show to see how it all works out.

The production is brought to us by Actors Theatre of Indiana and is underwritten by Bose McKinney & Evans, LLP. Judy Fitzgerald, who also stars as ATI co-founder and associate artistic director, and Michael Ehlers will play the leads in this variety-show-inspired musical.

The show runs until Nov. 23. Tickets are available through the website: actorstheatreofindiana.org or by phone at 843-3800. In addition to supporting the arts, come support your mood.

“It’s hysterical! The music is fantastic. I hate to keep saying it, but it’s just fun!” Fitzgerald said.

If you remember loving Lucy and Desi, Sonny and Cher or “The Carol Burnett Show,” you’ll be in for a nostalgic treat. If not, you can fall in love with the music, the jokes and the camaraderie of that era in entertainment for the first time.

I recently realized that, beside the possibility of snow, I love the month of November!

My youngest daughter has fitness a birthday which makes it extra special, but it is also the month of what I call “Turkey Day.” I love getting together with family or friends, I love pitching in and cooking the Thanksgiving feast, I love watching football, love playing games with my kids and just enjoying a day off.

What are your plans for turkey day? Is your health part of the game plan? A few years back, some of my family members started participating in the Drumstick Dash, a walk/run in the Broad Ripple area that supports Wheeler Mission Ministries. It has been a great way to start the day, get some activity before our family feast and help others out in the process.

If you want something closer to home in Fishers, maybe the YMCA Wishbone 5k, which supports the YMCA Annual Campaign, is a good fit for your family. Close to Carmel, try The Bolt for the Heart 5K Run which helps support HeartReach Carmel in providing lifesaving automated external defibrillators in central Indiana.

If signing up for a walk/run isn’t your cup of tea, there are lots of other ways to benefit

your health on a day that is typically thought of as “eat until you can’t eat anymore.” By the way, I don’t recommend this. Enjoy what you are eating, just don’t go overboard, it never feels good.

Initiate a family walk or bike ride around the neighborhood. Taking a walk after your Thanksgiving feast is a great way to spend time with family before you have dessert.

Even if the weather is a bit chilly, you can break out the corn hole set or Frisbee for some backyard fun. Play touch football while the turkey is cooking. Hide mini-pumpkins/ gourds and have the kids hunt for them.

Maybe fitness for the brain is more your family’s speed, so have a game tournament, cards, checkers, maybe even chess.

What about your heart and soul health?

Sign up to work at a soup kitchen for a couple hours. Maybe ask all your family and friends coming to dinner to bring items to donate to a food pantry or shelter.

On this “Turkey Day,” be thankful and do something that benefits your health, your family’s health and maybe even others.

New dog groomer on wheels

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com Dog owners in the Fishers area have a new choice for grooming options, now that Indy Zoom Groom is up and running. On now open Nov. 3, Haley Brown started Indy Zoom Groom, which is a mobile pet grooming company.

She has a customized van and offers all inclusive grooms with bath, blow dry, brush-out, deshedding, dematting, ear cleaning, nail trimming, a bow or bandana and an all-natural treat.

She said what makes her business different is the convenience. “I come right to your driveway.

I don’t need to hook up to electric or water or anything and it’s just me and the dog in the van so the dogs are much more relaxes than at the salon. There’s not a bunch of stuff going on, a bunch of people handling him and dogs barking.

They don’t have to be there for 8 hours. It’s just better for them all around,” said Brown.

“I try to include pretty much everything in my grooms because I don’t like upcharging people for things like conditioner and stuff that every

dog needs to have done,” she added. But she does offer extra services such as nail dremeling, specialty shampoos like oatmeal and aloe, and specialty breed haircuts.

Brown started her grooming career at a pet salon in Fishers several years ago and has certification from the Carmel Animal Arts Academy.

She is focusing her business on the Fishers and Geist areas.

Brown said her business offers a stress-free experience for dogs. “So many people tell me that their dogs are just terrified to go to the groomer and their all upset when they come home,” Brown said. “All my dogs get excited when I come. They hop right in the van and get to smell everything, they get their treats. It’s one-on-one so I get to bond with them a whole lot more than with like the assembly line of the salon. It’s so convenient too for people because you don’t have to load them up in the car, drop them off and then go pick them up. I just walk in, you hand them to me and that’s it.”

Question: “Hello. I’ve recently started receiving and love your columns. Now I have an issue I’d like for you to grammar guy address. It seems like so many people are starting a sentence with the word ‘so,’ even when it appears to be incorrect (not to mention extremely annoying). Would you please check the rules and let people know what they are?

I know it’s the latest trend, but the sooner it runs its course, the better. Thanks and keep up the good work. We need more people like you.”

– Marlena Linne Answer: Is that what the kids are doing these days? I’ve had my head buried in Céline for the last few weeks, though no apologies there.

Maybe I’m not as cutting edge as I used to be.

At the heart of the matter here is whether it’s acceptable to begin a sentence with a conjunction – even a coordinating conjunction like “and,” “but” or “so.” And, as we’ve discussed previously, it is.

Of course, as the Oxford Dictionaries say in their defense of leading with conjunctions, “it’s best not to overdo it.” Fortunately we only have to hop over to Cambridge (Dictionaries) for a concise list of just when it’s acceptable to start a sentence with “so.” For brevity’s sake I won’t include all of them, but here are a few: • To connect a sentence with something that

has been said or happened previously. (“So as I’ve written before…”)

• To refer to a discovery that you have just made. (“So you really can swim right after lunch!”)

• To make certain you or someone else understand something correctly. (“So a conjunction connects two ideas, right?”)

• To introduce a subject of conversation that is of present interest, especially when asking a question. (“So, what are the Colts’ odds of winning the Super Bowl this year?”)

• To belittle a point under discussion (“So what?”)

So, what’s the point, Mr. Grammar Guy? Beginning a sentence with any conjunction, “so” or otherwise, should be done sparingly and to serve a particular purpose like adding emphasis, controlling the pacing of a sentence and, most importantly – perhaps necessarily, even – establishing a connection to a previous idea or statement. After all, a conjunction must still serve its proper function. (If you’re still not clear what that is, I believe there may be an educational tune floating around there somewhere to help you out. And it’s catchy, to boot!)

Hippos: The City on a Hill

Commentary by Don Knebel

Since 1630, when Puritan leader John Winthrop addressed his followers onboard the ship Arbella, politicians have likened the Ameritravel can experience to the shining “city on a hill” described by Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount. They might have opted for a different metaphor if they had known that Jesus was referring to the glistening buildings of a thoroughly pagan city.

Jesus delivered his famous sermon from the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, near his base in Capernaum. At the time, Hippos was a bustling city atop a flat hill rising more than 1,000 feet above the water on the eastern shore of the lake, near today’s Kibbutz Ein Gev. In making his points, Jesus referred to salt and lamps, items his followers encountered every day. Most scholars believe Jesus had Hippos in mind when he told his listeners that “a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden” because it was the only hilltop city they had seen.

Hippos was founded by the Greeks in about 200 B.C., its name reflecting the hill’s claimed resemblance to a horse. After a period under control of the Jewish Hasmoneans, in 63 B.C. the city

came under the rule of the Romans, who made it one of the 10 semi-autonomous Greco-Roman cities of the Decapolis. Recent excavations have revealed that life in first-century Hippos was much different from that in the Jewish fishing villages where Jesus taught. Archaeologists have uncovered a column-lined Roman main street running the 500-meter length of the hilltop, flanked by theaters, nude bath houses, temples to Zeus and Aphrodite, and a fountain dedicated to sensuous water nymphs, all gleaming in the afternoon sun when Jesus and his followers gazed across the lake.

A narrow path leads to the ruins of Hippos, with signs warning: “Mines on both sides of the trail; walk only on the marked path.” At the top of the hill are remains of several Byzantine-era churches, destroyed by an earthquake in 749 A.D. Hundreds of years after the Sermon on the Mount, Christian lights finally shone from the famous city on a hill.

High Point show sets trends Commentary by Vicky Earley It is the debutante ball for home furnishings. It is where interior design indoors trends are identified and it is where styles in home décor are launched.

It is the High Point Furniture Market in North Carolina. The largest trade show in the industry welcomes buyers, wholesalers and manufacturers every six months. One hundred and eighty buildings and almost 12 million square feet of exhibit space come to life with the industry trends.

The fall 2014 show did not disappoint. The previous focus on Animal decor items were abundant at the largest trade show in the interior design industry in High Point, N.C.

Polar Vortex, two of my least favorite words Commentary by Randy Sorrell Amazingly, the 2013-14 prolonged winter did not cause the horrific plant loss and patio issues we anticipated. outdoors But it did show itself in other delightful ways. A few of our ceramic pots disintegrated and my water spigot exploded. This year, I am determined to implement the “winter to-do” list that follows, starting with disconnecting the garden hose from the spigot and storing ceramic pots in the garage.

HIGH Start high and complete a visual inspection searching for curled or missing roof shingles and gutters that are hanging, disconnected or overflowing with leaves that result in rain spilling over the edges. All are bad. Inspect for properly sealed windows, secured screens and evidence of critter damage to wood surfaces.

LOW Ground level check list: 1. Disconnect the garden hose from the spigot and turn off inside if available.

2. Breakable pots inside (synthetics can remain outside).

3. Store patio furniture and cushions inside or carefully cover with a tarp (looks tacky, but works) or with ap-

propriate covers. It has caused our five-year-old patio furniture to still look predominantly new.

4. Store outdoor rugs to prolong their life.

5. Inspect landscape lighting fixtures and bulbs. Change as necessary along with adjusting the timer. Ours remain on all night for safety and ambiance.

6. Install weather strip at exterior doors and garage door as necessary.

7. Clean plant beds are happy beds, same with the lawn. Do a final leaf and debris removal to avoid future fungus issues.

8. Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, replace furnace filters after a professional furnace inspection.

9. Stock up on ice melt, a new snow shovel and window scrapers.

10. Auto emergency kit in place?

Escape the Polar Vortex-induced doldrums by practicing gratitude, joy, hope, faith and family.
