Eye on the exhibition for Watson

By Julie Roberts • news@curreninfishers.com

Allyson Watson and Anya Talatinian, two high students from Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers high schools, respectively, were invited arts to display their artwork at the Indiana Artists’ Club’s second Member Exhibition. Displayed at Fishers Town Hall, the exhibition features 70 pieces in a wide variety of media and styles, created by IAC members Jerry Points, former Indiana Artists’ Club President and owner of art gallery Eye on Art in Carmel, intends to keep the Indiana Artists’ Club alive for a very long time.

“I wanted to increase our membership, adding new and younger artists,” Points said. That’s why this year, the IAC scoured both high schools for two outstanding pieces of art, finally selecting artwork created by Watson and Talatinian. Each was awarded $100.

“This is a small way of recognizing the high level of work being done in our high schools, so [students] can see their work in relation to other artists.”

ON THE WEB

DVD review “Breaking Bad” was a prime example of a convoluted but intricately plotted story that could only be done in the long form of a TV series. With a heavy dose of symbolism, trademark innovative camera work and host of plot twists, “Breaking Bad” was television doing what TV does best. To read more, visit www.currentnightandday.com

Points believes their artwork holds its own with the other talented artists in the IAC. The Indiana Artist’s Club was founded by a group of artists in 1917, the most notable being Indiana landscape painter T.C. Steele. The club’s purpose was to promote the artistic interests of its members, as well as a sense of community.

Points continues the IAC’s tradition of promoting artists. “[They] have no idea how to market themselves,” said Points, who earned his marketing chops during his 12 years as a graphic designer at Lilly.

Talatinian, a junior, plans to be an artist, and is in the process of building her portfolio for college submissions. She felt intimidated at the prospect of displaying her sculpture alongside other professional artists, however, the attention she received was affirming.

“It was really cool to have support from established artists and to see that people can make a living as artists, too,” she said.

The Indiana Artists’ Club Exhibition will display at Fishers Town Hall through Dec. 13.

Back Pain and You: When to Call the Doctor

By Praveen Perni, M.D., Board Certified Spine Surgeon

Back pain is the second most common reason patients go to see their doctor, after the common cold.

The most common cause of back pain is a muscle strain or sprain. There are several muscles that run along the spine on either side, and sometimes when you twist or turn the wrong way, you can get tears in the muscle or the ligaments that attach to the bone, causing muscle spasms and the acute onset of back pain.

SO, WHEN SHOULD YOU SEE YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT YOUR BACK PAIN? Certainly you can wait a few weeks to see if that muscle spasm or joint arthritis improves after you’ve modified some of your activities and taken some antiinflammatories. However, if you have had symptoms for more than four weeks, you should see your primary care physician to evaluate it.

There are also certain symptoms that we call “red flag symptoms.” For example: if you have any signs of acute weight loss; if you’re having fevers, chills or night sweats; if you have a pain in your back that wakes you up at night; if you have any history of cancer. These are all cases where you need to get in and see someone right away.

Thankfully, most cases of low back pain go away on their own after a few days. In those rare instances where it does not, there are several treatment options, such as medications, physical therapy, or target injection treatment to help alleviate the pain.

Another cause for low back pain involves the disc that cushions the two vertebral bodies in the spine. Over time, that disc can get some wear and tear, and as we get older, the disc starts to dehydrate.

When that happens, you can Praveen Perni, M.D. When it comes to treating back pain, the staff at St.Vincent get tears and herniations in Fishers Hospital has years of spine the disc, which can become painful and experience.

Wishbone 5K Run/Walk returns

By Julie Roberts • news@currentinfishers.com

Four years ago, Terri Apple had a vision that had a significant impact on the Fishers YMCA’s fundraising efforts. The results of that vision, the Fishers YMCA’s Wishbone fundraising 5K Run/Walk, takes place Thanksgiving Day at 8 a.m. Cost is $25 per person or $75 for a family of four, and includes a long-sleeve running shirt.

Of each registration, $10 will support the Fishers “Y FOR ALL” campaign, which enables people to participate in YMCA programs who otherwise can’t afford them. In 2012, $25,000 was raised for this campaign.

Apple, personal training coordinator at the Fishers Y, got the idea for the Wishbone 5K Run/ Walk four years ago. Deeply committed to the YMCA mission, she wanted to make a significant financial contribution.

“I couldn’t write a check for $25,000, but I could create an event that would raise the money.” The Wishbone 5K race was born.

“We got a permit from the town, and then we went from there,” Apple said. The race has grown steadily each year. The first year 1,000 people participated. This year over 2,000 people will participate.

“It’s fun to watch it grow,” Apple said.

Part of what makes the Wishbone 5K so popular is that it’s a family event, which Apple says is their top priority. Family festivities start the night

before the race, when the Y hosts a family fun night with bounce houses, bowling, face painting and a kids craft table. After the Run/Walk, kids can participate in the Youth Fun Run, which starts at 9:15 a.m. Every child receives a bib with the number 1 on it, and they run through the woods behind the Y. Registration for the Youth Fun Run is free with a food donation.

The Wishbone 5K Walk/Run begins and ends at the Fishers YMCA, 9012 E. 126th St. Contact Teri Apple with questions at tapple@indymca.org.

MyIndyParty.com started the Holiday Hands of Hope project last year to benefit children at the Wheeler Mission Center for charity Women and Children, and this year co-owners and Fishers resident Jennifer Payne and Renee Ahearn are organizing their second holiday gift drive. All of the items collected are distributed to kids at Wheeler Mission.

Last year’s Holiday Hands of Hope was a huge success.

“We collected around 325 items and this year we hope to get 400 to 500,” said Payne, co-owner and CEO of MyIndyParty.com. “We are really hoping to exceed last year’s number of items.”

Payne explained that once the donations are collected, the gifts will be delivered to the Wheeler Mission Center for Women and Children.

A “Santa’s Workshop” is then created by Wheeler Mission and the mothers at the center can choose holiday gifts for their children. Any leftover gifts are saved for upcoming birthdays.

“Wheeler Mission is really thankful that we are doing this again this year,” Payne said.

Collection boxes will be distributed at various businesses in the area. From Nov. 22 through Dec. 18, people can donate new and unwrapped gifts.

The following locations will have collection boxes through Dec. 18: Sky Zone, 10080 E. 121st

Investment rests on tax increase

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com Fishers may see a $100 million investment in the future, provided the town adopts the proposed 1 percent food and education beverage tax.

Town council member Scott Faultless announced that an unidentified source is considering investing $100 million in Fishers, during the second hearing for the potential food and beverage tax on Nov. 18 at Fishers Town Hall.

“There is a deal, there is a plan,” he said of the investor’s intentions. “Unfortunately, I can’t tell you (what that is). One thing is for certain, if we don’t pass this, that deal goes away.”

The proposed tax is to be used for either property tax relief or economic development. Although no plans have been announced, council member John Weingardt said he would be in favor of using the additional tax to support Hamilton Southeastern Schools. HSE may be facing budget cuts of $250,000 for the 2014-2015 school year.

The additional funding could support five to six teachers, according to Weingardt.

Council member Renee Cox stood by her decision to oppose the additional tax, saying she believes the town can still bring in economic development through new businesses, which prompted responses from other council members, including Stuart Easley.

“You can’t just go out and wish businesses to come,” Easley said. “I caution Renee to think about her foundation of logic.”

Faultless reminded Cox that she signed a letter in favor of the food and beverage tax in March 2012.

“You said, ‘I want every small town and city to prosper’ when there were no tools to develop (economic plans),” Faultless said.

Cox replied that she did not know the facts and numbers when she signed the letter.

“I have all the information now, and I’ve made a decision based on the information,” she said. “I still stand (by my decision).”

The council will vote on the tax Dec. 2.

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com Many young boys enjoy watching, collecting or playing with model trains. Nicholas Keeling never imagined that this kind of hobby would turn into an aspiring career for him.

Keeling, 18, a senior at HSEHS, loves trains. cover story He spent nine months of labor and money, mostly from his own pocket, to assemble a train set, “just for fun,” and then donated the model train to the Hamilton East Public Library Fishers Branch.

The engineering hopeful, along with help from friends, Paul Thieme, HSEHS senior; Geoffrey Gwin, HSEHS junior; Carl Martin, Purdue freshman; and Kyle McMillian, Florida Tech freshman, began building the 4 x 8-foot train set last year.

Keeling was willing to donate the train to the children’s area in the library because he had always enjoyed the already trainthemed section himself, and he wanted kids to experience the same joy of watching a model train.

“Kids are always in love with the interactive train routes,” Keeling said. “This definitely is a big thing for the kids’ area. I’ve been told by people who run the library that they usually run to the train first.”

Keeling said he and his friends “spent countless hours” on the project, finished their work and delivered their product to the library in September. In addition to his friends, teachers at HSEHS assisted with the project, and donations helped cover expenses.

One of those teachers was Jeffrey Wilkins, coordinator of Project Lead the Way pre-engineering program at HSEHS.

PLTW develops hands-on, project-based science, technology, engineering and math curricula for use by elementary, middle and high schools. Pathway To Engineering and Biomedical Science is offered for high school students.

The high school Pathway To Engineering sequence includes eight full-year courses: a pair of foundation courses (Introduction to Engineering Design and Principles Of Engineering), several courses on engineering specialties (aerospace, biological and civil engineering; architecture; computer integrated manufacturing and digital electronics), and a capstone course, Engineering Design and Development.

“We are impressed with Nick’s leadership to spearhead this project with other students in our Project Lead the Way (PLTW) pre-engineering program at HSEHS,” Wilkins said.“PLTW has given them the skills to manage and successfully implement a project of this scale and use the design process to continue to make it better. This is just the first step in an engineering career and these students seem to be heading down the right track.”

Reared in Cincinnati until he was 6, Keeling was fascinated with railroads, which led him to start his hobby of collecting wooden trains.

“I grew up with railroads surrounding me everywhere,” he said. I didn’t know it was going to turn into a career.”

Keeling puts his skills to good use as a volunteer for the Indiana Transportation Museum, where he has served for four years. Currently he is a coach attendant, assisting to manage the train and helping customers get on and off the train.

“Ever since I found out the museum existed, I started to volunteer more and more and more - now I volunteer every week on

Saturdays,” he said.

Keeling estimates that he has served about 800 hours as a volunteer with the museum, which has greatly advanced not only his technical skills, but his social skills as well.

“I get to talk to adults and find that it’s easier to talk to them than people my own age because of my involvement with the museum and community,” he said. “These skills learned will be a benefit for the rest of my life.”

Keeling is now considering his future. He said he would like to study civil engineering and urban planning, “anything related to improving the infrastructure in a community,” and would like to attend a well-respected college out of state.

“I love seeing different sections of the world,” Keeling said. “I like experiencing different things, from the shipping yards of Sault Ste. Marie (Canada) to the transportation of the materials. And the passengers – I love them.”

Be a volunteer:

Keeling encourages students, including those at a young age, to volunteer their time with something they enjoy doing.

“One of my teachers said there is nothing more strong than the heart of a volunteer,” he said. “Find something you like; you can volunteer with art, railroads or Habitat for Humanity. A lot of teenagers should volunteer to improve their outlook on life.”

The Indiana Transportation Museum is seeking volunteers from the age of 12 on up. For more information, visit https://itm.org or call 773.6000.

’Tis the season to Shop Small

Be thankful for less

In the center of today’s edition of Current, you’ll find Gifts 2013, our annual holiday shopping guide. We’re not taking Xbox or any of the other mass-merchandised wonders, but, instead, items you only can find mostly locally in the entrepreneurial enterprises along our streets. Home Town Holidays, as the subtitle suggests, attempts to bring it all home, so to speak. This section, with its terrific homespun cover illustration by our artist, Andrea Nickas, should help direct you to Shop Small, especially on Small Business Saturday this weekend.

Imagine the impact we all can make by shopping locally - if even only for one day - and supporting small business by looking for the gift items that only are available in those wonderful one-off enterprises. Home Town Holidays examines some of these establishments’ offerings in an effort to help you find something distinctive this holiday season. Our editors and reporters have scoured the communities we serve in an effort to enlighten you on what’s new and different behind the storefronts. We believe it’s a worthy effort. Small Business Saturday, by the way, was launched by American Express in 2010, and it is focused on seeing small businesses and their surrounding neighborhoods prosper. We’ll do our part. Will you?

Food for thought: Small Business Saturday is a noble effort. Why couldn’t every Saturday be that way? Imagine the economic impact of 52 such days each year.

The spirit of giving Commentary by Terry Anker The motives that drive people to contribute to special causes are widely varied and complicated. Many of us give because we feel that we benefited from a great childhood filled with abundance, and there are just as many who share because we had the worst possible life as kids and have vowed that no one else should suffer as we did. Some speak of our generosity nonstop on nationally syndicated talk shows and others demure to even have our names appear on an annual report.

The family behind Carmel Financial, Tom and Soni Sheehan, have dedicated much of their lives to create a family foundation to help children – all following the death of their young son, Tim, in 1973 of cancer. Led by example, their daughter Tracey is becoming an important philanthropist in her own right. Their gifts will help scores for generations.

Alan Symons, owner of Breath of Life a provider of home healthcare gear in Westfield, found himself on a flight last month when the attendant asked passengers to consider a donation

to support breast cancer awareness as part of a special month-long program. After about 2 hours and paltry donations, Symons stepped up and organized the staff with baskets like Sunday at church. The newly motivated (and entertained) passengers dug a little deeper – and then another flier, inspired by the effort and remembering his own sister’s fight, offered to match whatever was collected. Ultimately, the flight raised the most of any during the airline’s promotion.

Whatever the motivation, generosity is good.

Check out YouTube videos of both these stories and be inspired. The Sheehan’s narrative was captured by the local community foundation; and with Symons, another traveler caught the act on a cellphone and posted it all. At this time of national thanksgiving, it is good to be reminded of the best in us, be it grand or humble. For it, I am grateful.

What are you thankful for this year? A new marriage, job, baby or home?

Or are you finding it difficult to be thankful this year as a result of the loss of a job, marriage or loved one?

It often is difficult to remain thankful when a loss of any kind occurs. Then you read through your friends’ cheery comments on Facebook: their posts about their perfect spouses, well-behaved kids, lavish vacations and big promotions.

That’s the reason I stopped reading Facebook comments. I felt as though I could never even come close to having my friends’ ideal lives.

During times of financial and relationship stress or loss, I have often felt alone and sorry for myself. However, whenever I was having one of those “pity party” days, I always felt that nudge, a reminder from God, that things could be a lot worse.

During the recent past when I was a volunteer editor at my church and had those negative days, I received stories from writers describing mission trips. Those trips involved helping people in third-world countries: children who ate dirt and rocks to settle their stomachs. Residents who lived in a tiny, windblown hut. Women who sold themselves on the street because, otherwise, they could not afford to care for their families. And yet, when they welcomed their American visitors, they smiled and cheered: “Praise God!” Praise God? When I have plenty of food and clothes, a warm house, transportation, a job and family and friends and yet I STILL complain?

I remember those kind-hearted, grateful people when I’m having another one of those days. The days when I pray, “Thank you, God, for your blessings. I’m not feeling very grateful today, but you’ve given me all I could possibly need, and more.”

Please remember your blessings this week.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thankful for thighs

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

During the weekend I had the chance to spend a giftcard at a local clothing store. My two daughters came along for the ride, though humor I explicitly stated that I was only buying stuff for me, damn it, and that even if they decided to try clothes on, we would not be bringing them home. “Ask Santa!” I commanded, “and for God’s sake, stop fighting!”

I ditched my girls as soon as I walked in and began grabbing items from the racks. A pair of jeans, two pencil skirts, a workout ensemble. I even found several possible replacements for my favorite cardigan; MIA since summer. Ignoring the still-arguing sisters, I continued to forage for interesting pieces. After another 20 minutes, I finally hauled everything into a dressing room and began stripping down.

As I bent over to free a foot snagged in a legging, I caught a glimpse of my thighs in the mirror, illuminated in all their glory by sub-standard fluorescent lighting. I almost fell over. What the truck is that? For a brief moment I thought someone else was in the room with me, for surely those could not be my legs!

I forced myself to do some deep breathing and to look again. My ultra-pale skin showed hundreds of lumps and pock marks and generallyunsightly fatty deposits from my knees to my rear. How can this be? How can I look so good in clothes but so hideous in the buff? Had I sported

C

these hams in a bathing suit?

I’m not going to lie; the next word that came to mind was lipo. But who’s got the money or recovery time for that? Not this gal. The thrill of shopping dampened, I pulled on the way-too-tight jeans and the weirdly-cut workout pants anyway.

Nothing below the belt looked even decent in my now self-conscious view. Or maybe some did, but I’d been so traumatized by my horrid Fatty McFat legs that I couldn’t tell. Even the sweaters now appeared dowdy and old-fashioned. Wallowing in self pity, I began packing up, and soon became aware of my girls a few doors down.

They were laughing hysterically over each other’s clothing selections and thrilled to be playing dress-up in clothes they knew they couldn’t own. As I listened to their hilarious banter, it hit me. Who cares if I have Oompa Loompa thighs?

I’ve somehow managed to raise a pair of extraordinary daughters who really love each other.

So this Thanksgiving, instead of focusing on my aging, repugnant body or my lack of new clothing to camouflage it, I’m going to appreciate my children. My silly, annoying, wonderful children. Here’s hoping you find something to be thankful for too. Peace out.

Quartet musical test actors’ vocally

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Director Ron Richards is challenging his veteran cast in the Belfry Theatre’s holiday production of “Plaid Tidings.” The cast has been working on the show since September, being especially focused on Theater the music.

“It’s tough vocally; there are a lot of high notes for all four of them,” Richards said.

“Plaid Tidings” is the holiday sequel to “Forever Plaid” and features a heavenly boy group. Frankie, Sparky, Jinx and Smudge return to Earth where they once wove the magic of the ’50s and ’60s into the hearts of everyone. Rosemary Clooney has encouraged the boys to return this year to make things right in the world.

“They don’t know what the goal is or what they are supposed to do,” Richardson said.

The Plaids are four high school-age boys who formed a semiprofessional harmony singing group in the 1960s. Frankie is the leader and the most outspoken member of the group, but also has asthma. Jinx is prone to chronic nosebleeds and Smudge is the worrier with chronic nervous stomach and is reluctant to perform. Sparky is the clown of the group, wears a retainer and has a slight speech impediment. The show features a mix of holiday and period music.

“I want the whole thing to feel like a variety show. I really feel the audience will have fun and enjoy the music and characters,” Richards said.

“There’s such a variety of music. It should appeal to most people,” Mark Tumey, who plays Frankie, said.

Unlike many musicals with big numbers and productions, “Plaid Tidings”

is rather modest.

“It’s unusual, different and difficult because there are four people involved in this musical,” Tumey said. “In all but five minutes we are all on stage. There’s a lot of music and you can’t count on anyone else for your part. You are the part and you have to carry that.”

Four-part harmony is Jimmy Mitchell’s favorite kind of music.

“When it’s tight it sounds really cool,” he said.

Mitchell, who plays Sparky, said his favorite song in the show is “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

“It reminds me of me of my mom and it’s really pretty,” he said.

For his role as Jinx, John Whitaker learned to play the accordion.

“It’s a work in progress,” he said. “We cut the particularly hard stuff.”

While the accordion is one task, another for Whitaker, who is in his fourth Belfry production, was testing his vocal range.

“I’ve always been a first tenor. These songs have three octaves of range for me – some are stupid high,” he said. I like the harmonies. It’s fun to do some really excellent music.”

317.773.8754 www.SUMMERSPHC.com music Divorce What To Expect: Child-Related Expenses In any family law matter involving child custody and parenting time, the Court will issue orders concerning not only the payment of child support but payment of additional child-related expenses not covered in support.

While the child support is often the most common child-related expense that comes to mind for parties when discussing family law matters, additional child-related expenses not included in support must be addressed and these expenses, in many cases, can be substantial.

Typically, uninsured medical expenses and work-related child care expenses are incorporated into the child support figures and divided by formula, but not always. The most common child-related expenses outside of that calculation include: extracurricular activity expenses, private school expenses, and college expenses. These expenses are shared between parents, but how those costs are divided is not based on a strict rule.

Uninsured Medical Expenses. Out-of-pocket medical expenses for the child(ren) are shared between parties pursuant to the “6% Rule,” a derivative of the child support calculation wherein the child support recipient is responsible for paying a portion of all uninsured medical expenses for the child(ren) each year. Once that parent’s annual obligation is met, the parties then share such expenses pro rata based upon their respective income shares. The child support payor’s contribution to that 6% amount is built into the child support computation and is part of each weekly payment throughout the year, effectively building up a “deductable” before owing anything additional.

Work-Related Child Care. Most often, the party paying for any work-related child care receives a credit on the child support obligation worksheet for payment of such expenses. When a parent is credited with payment of such expenses on the worksheet, the same will be accounted for when determining the child support obligation; thus the support receiver pays for all work-related child care and the payor’s support payments include their contribution to this cost. In certain instances, however, it makes sense for the parties to remove child care expenses from the child support and agree to divide the same pro rata or by some other equitable means. If each parent, for example, uses a

separate daycare provider and divide the time with the children equally, it may make more sense to have each pay their respective provider and remove that cost from the child support calculation.

Extracurricular Expenses. With all of the activities and the substantial costs involved, defining what the children are and will be involved in and how the costs will be apportioned is critical to avoid yet another disruption for the children in a divorce situation. Parties often share agreed-upon extracurricular expenses for the child(ren) pro rata based upon their incomes shares, but other factors can alter that approach. On top of dividing this expense, the parties also need to consider transportation, travel activities (and those costs) and the balance against their time with the children when formulating a plan to not only pay for these activities but make certain that these remain of benefit to the children involved and not another “bone to pick” between the parents, financially or otherwise.

Private School Expenses. Finally, parties can agree to share private school expenses in any manner. Courts are very sensitive to the disruption of a child’s education, especially if a child has traditionally been on a private school track or is close to graduating from a private school. Indiana Courts have discretion in ordering parties to be responsible for payment of private school tuition and expenses, including ordering that the party proposing the same be 100% responsible for payment of such expenses if other party objects. Similarly, the Court may order the parties to find a way to pay for a portion of such expenses over his or her objection in an effort to keep the child in a private school if that is in their best interests. The court must consider the basis of the request and the parties’ incomes when determining what order to fashion, nonetheless.

Spirit fills Zionsville’s Christmas in the Village

By Abby Walton • news@currentinfishers.com

If you’re looking for something to get you in the Christmas spirit, the Town of Zionsville is ushering in the season with its festival annual Christmas in the Village.

While events will take place on weekends throughout December, the big celebration, complete with parade and tree lighting, will be held Nov. 30. A parade will take place starting at 3:45 p.m. from Eagle Elementary, winding its way through town to end near Old National Way in downtown Zionsville. Parade highlights include the Gordon Pipers, Dickens Carolers, the Trader’s Point Hunt Club, Radio Disney, live reindeer and, of course, Santa Claus.

After the parade, Radio Disney will provide games and goodie bags for kids. Live music begins at 5 p.m., live reindeer will be available for pictures and Santa will help light the Village Christmas tree at approximately 6 p.m. During this time, all of the businesses in downtown Zionsville will also be open for people to do some Christmas shopping.

“One reason Christmas in the Village was created was the merchant’s way of saying thank you to customers. Even today, it’s our way to show our gratitude to customers who we value so much,” stated Sandy Rogers, owner of the Butler’s Pantry on Main Street in Zionsville.

During Christmas in the Village, several businesses also will be participating in the

“We hope Christmas in the Village continues as long as the town is here. It’s an experience you won’t find in the malls,” Rogers stated.

Commentary by April Conard

There are many so-called “fitness experts” out there. And we are all saying do this workout program, that one isn’t enough, fitness this one’s gets better results … enough already!

Many people do not want to be a triathlete, they just want to be healthy. People in the fitness industry, myself included, are so enthusiastic that we sometimes can be overbearing. Our intentions are good, but sometimes we just don’t know when to quit. This information overload can make you feel completely turned off to the idea of working out.

Target heart rate zone, carbohydrate to protein ratio, rate of perceived exertion - have your eyes glazed over yet? Dealing with all the components of getting in shape can be a full time job.

There is a lot of information out there and it is hard to know what to listen to. When someone new to fitness approaches me about how to get started, I usually ask, “What did your doctor say?”

Their answer, “Just start moving more.”

It is a simple statement and really not all that hard to do. Go for a walk, play with your kids or even join a gym. You do not have to know the ins and outs of every aspect of the facility. Just get on a piece of cardio equipment and, like doc said, just move. Don’t try to process all the data on the screen; you can utilize that information later if you choose.

Applying all the advice and tips from fitness specialists can be helpful in small doses. If you feel a certain machine or workout is working for you, but someone is trying to tell you it is not the most effective workout, don’t listen. If you enjoy it and it gets you moving, you’re doing what is right for you.

I am not trying to attack the fitness industry, after all it’s my passion. All I’m trying to say is don’t feel guilty for not knowing or caring about all the “secrets” to the best workout. If doing what you do now has you exercising on a regular basis, good job; mission accomplished.

Homes sales up in past year Commentary by Jim Litten

With 1,941 home sales in October in central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 16.2 percent compared to Real EsTate this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, October 2013 home sales fell 11 percent compared to October 2012, a decrease of 240 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks.

Similarly, in Hamilton County, October sales slipped 21.7 percent compared to October 2012.

However, year-to-date sales are strong, up 18.1 percent.

• Specifically, in Fishers, home sales improved modestly last month, up 2.5 percent compared to October 2012.

• Inventory continues to tighten in Fishers.

Last month, 146 homes were on the market,

down 21 homes from October of last year.

• Homes in Fishers are staying on the market shorter periods of time – an average of 19 fewer days – compared to October 2012.

• For the first 10 months of the year, the average sales price of homes in Fishers increased 2.5 percent from last year to $180,069.

Though a decrease in home sales is typical as we move deeper into the year, consumers may also be hesitant to jump in as they cautiously watch the potential for increasing interest rates. Still, we expect prices to continue rising due to the smaller supply of homes across central Indiana – an encouraging sign of market stabilization.

Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company. Comment on this article by e-mailing to editorial@ youarecurrent.com.

Things not to buy on Black Friday – 1) Toys. Prices on toys tend to drop like a rock two weeks before Christmas because retailers usually need to clear out their inventory. 2) Winter clothing. Lower prices are typical on winter clothing in the spring, as retailers try to clear out their stock from the previous season.

3) Holiday decorations. Prices are usually lowest late in December. 4) High-end HDTVs. Companies tend to give bigger discounts for lower-end TVs and sell them at a loss in order to entice customers to shop there.

5) Electronics accessories. Stores look to profit on Black Friday by selling accessories, such as cables, at a considerable mark up. 6) Fitness equipment. Customers are better off waiting until January because gym memberships and demand for exercise equipment typically spike at the start of the year. 7) Home improvement supplies and tools. Home improvement tools are best bought around Father’s Day. 8) Automotive supplies. People tend to work on their cars at roughly the same time they do their spring cleaning and that’s when you’ll find the lowest prices. SOURCE: Yahoo Finance

Why I hate my best friends

Commentary by Mike Colaw

His name is Jeremy and it all happened about 13 years ago. I was finishing up my undergraduate degree and a bunch Spirituality of us were hanging out off campus. The conversation changed, and we started pouring out our hearts. College was coming to an end and some of the guys were about to be married, myself included. The end of an era was coming up fast. At one point in the conversation Jeremy looked at me and said, “Mike, you don’t treat Leslie very well.”

I felt like an angry cat about to pounce. Honestly, who says that? He then had the gall to give specific examples. Every example just fed my fire. I couldn’t believe it! Somehow I played it cool the rest of the night. Over the next few days I was overly aware of how I treated my wife-tobe. I started to notice little things that I said and did that weren’t all that kind. Here is this beautiful, brilliant, young woman, and I realized I didn’t always treat her right.

I decided to do something most people refuse to do. I accepted his rebuke. Jeremy was right. I didn’t like it, but he was right. I discovered something really powerful yet painful. Real accountability is rough and it hurts.

People today run from friendships, a church, or family that puts the pressure on. I am not talking about abuse; I am talking about healthy

conflict. You don’t want just “yes” friends; you want friends who will call you out when you are wrong. Les and Leslie Parrott, Christian marriage psychologists, insist “conflict is the only way to intimacy.”

Here are two questions I want you to wrestle with: • Who in your life do you allow to push back?

To challenge your decisions? Who would tell you, “That’s stupid, don’t do that!” Maybe in a gentler way, but you get the point.

• Who do you need to be honest with? If there is someone who you know needs to hear something, say it. Real friends push back, so speak the truth in love.

I also want to thank my incredible accountability group: Jeremy, Lance, James, David and Aaron. You have saved my life and marriage numerous times because you were honest. I know you confront me because you love me. You make me so frustrated sometimes, and yet I would give my life for you. I thank God for friends like you. My best friends, that yes, sometimes I hate.

Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

First Automobile in Deutsches Museum (Photo by Don Knebel.)

Famous 1sts in Deutsches Museum Commentary by Don Knebel Munich’s Deutsches Museum, on an island in the Isor River just beyond the medieval Isartor Gate, is the largest and finest Travel museum of its kind in the world.

The collection of more than 28,000 examples of human ingenuity from the Stone Age to the present includes one of the Wright Brothers’ first airplanes and the first roller skates, invented in Belgium. American visitors are often surprised by what is missing from the museum’s vast assemblage of firsts from around the world.

For example, the communications area houses the world’s first telephone, demonstrated by German Phillip Reis in 1862, fourteen years before Alexander Graham Bell summoned his assistant with “Watson come here.” The first successful telephonic message was the German equivalent of “the horse won’t eat cucumber salad.”

Protected behind glass in the transport section is the world’s first gasoline powered automobile, a three-wheeler built by German Karl Benz in 1885 and patented in Germany in 1886.

The first American patent for a gasoline powered automobile was issued in 1895 to George Selden, a patent attorney who never actually built one.

A replica of the first programmable digital com-

puter, called “Z3” and built in Germany by Konrad Zuse in 1941, is on display in the computer section.

The first American programmable digital computer was at least three and maybe five years later.

A chronological exhibit shows the development of liquid fuel rockets, ending with the Saturn V rocket that took Americans to the moon.

The first rocket in the series is the German V2, built during World War II to attack European cities. The first American-built rocket is a virtual copy of the V2. Also on display is the bench on which two German scientists first demonstrated nuclear fission in 1938.

A tour of the Deutsches Museum is like international travel generally. Visits to other countries provide plenty of opportunities to be proud of American accomplishments and to be glad to arrive home. Those visits also provide the sometimes humbling realization that the United States has not always been the first or the best, encouraging us to be thankful for the contributions and successes of others.

Remodel updates 1980s basement Commentary by Larry Greene

EXISTING BASEMENT: Creating a space the whole family could enjoy was the goal behind the basement remodel of this 1988-built home located on the east side blueprint for of Carmel.

“We moved in six improvement years ago, and our kids were small,” stated the homeowner. “Now that our son is in high school, we wanted a place where he could bring his friends, and the family could be together.” The existing basement was partially finished with a bar area, family room with fireplace and a bedroom. A large cased opening led to the TV area.

“I really disliked the fireplace and making a change to it drove the design. I wanted something neutral that was family friendly,” stated the owner.

DESIGN PHASE: Making the lower level a space the entire family would want to spend time in meant making the space more warm and welcoming. Rather than changing the footprint that worked, this goal was achieved through unique architectural details and material choices.

The cased opening between rooms was enlarged with an archway, which was carried into the TV area. Additional lighting brightened up the space.

WET BAR DETAILS: The original bar area was expanded, and an extraneous window was closed in and covered with a smaller TV. New maple cabinets in a Dulce finish were topped with granite in Pergaminho, which continued along the wall to create a drink ledge.

“We wanted a larger bar area for parties with lots of spots to put plates and cups down,” stated the homeowner. The full bath was upgraded as well.

FIREPLACE DETAILS: To create a stunning focal point in the lower level, the brick fireplace was replaced with Southern Ledgestone stacked stone in a Boral “Echo Ridge” color. A 2-inch hearthstone was added and the original mantle

“I wanted to get rid of the fireplace entirely or make it look nice, “said the homeowner. In the bar area, just changing the angle of the bar area peninsula greatly increased its capacity and left room for a separate seating area.

From the staff: We love a local holiday. There’s a reason why the winter holiday season is called “the most wonderful time of the year.” People are more joyous, giving and caring for family, friends, and those in need. And nothing beats the warmth we feel being around those we love and participating in our area’s traditions.

In our office we thought long and hard about what approach we wanted when planning this year’s Gifts 2013, and every idea returned to how special our hometowns make the holiday season.

From tree lightings to parades, choral concerts to decorated main streets, each community has created its own identity and traditions.

The Gifts 2013 is to highlight the events, people and businesses that are available to you locally.

We know there are many options for customers during the holiday season but our friends who

What makes your city/town special during the holidays?

Carrie Cason, Westfield “Westfield is special during the holidays for many reasons. The tree-lighting celebration downtown truly brings the community together and radiates holiday spirit. With its small-town feel, it brings out the Christmas excitement in all of us. I also love the beautiful and heartfelt holiday displays we see throughout the community. I feel the joys of the season each day when I leave my home and see the beautiful lights lining the entrance of Centennial during the holidays. I love to call Westfield home.”

Nancy Chance, Noblesville “It is how the merchants, businesses, churches and community rally around their neighbors who maybe experiencing a rough time financially, by assisting Good Samaritan Network with donations to ensure that these families receive holiday support. The generosity and kindness towards their fellow man is so uplifting and encouraging, it also makes their holiday better just knowing they have indirectly or directly supports those who an extra measure of support during the holiday.”

Diane Eaton, Fishers “The Fishers/Hamilton Southeastern High Schools Choirs’ Christmas show at the Chamber of Commerce December luncheon. I also like the Christmas decorations around Town Hall and the lights on the trees on 116th Street. Then there’s the Christmas Open Houses at various merchants – Allisonville Nursery, Fishers Do-It Center, Twiggs, MacNamara and Gallery 116.”

Doreen Squire Ficara, Carmel “The Arts & Design District in full Christmas glory, every merchant showing eye-catching merchandise, beautifully decorated windows, the anticipation of special events and the feeling of goodwill as people are passing and nodding to each other with happy faces. The area comes alive.”

Mike Hendricks, Noblesville “While this may sound cliché, I believe it is the sense of community our historic downtown provides. It is a gathering place for everyone – from the Michael Treinen Foundation run on Thanksgiving morning, to children lining up for the opportunity to meet with Santa, to wandering the streets while looking at the holiday window displays. It is simply a time when you cannot help but feel good about yourself and your community.”

Ellen Rosenthal, Fishers “Fishers offers a wide variety of great holiday events and displays. The holiday light display at Reynolds Farm Equipment is an important family tradition that makes Fishers unique and special. We should all be grateful to Reynolds for their community spirit. A favorite at Conner Prairie is Candlelight, an evening program that has become a yearly tradition for many families. The 90-minute tour of Prairietown takes place on the night before Christmas in 1836. Many of our guests are surprised to see how differently people observed Christmas and Hanukkah.”

Kellar Mahaney, Zionsville “During the holiday season in Zionsville, we look forward to sipping cider, strolling Main Street and visiting with friends and neighbors – what a delicious way to shop.”

What is your favorite holiday tradition/production in your city/town?

Ray Cortopassi, Zionsville “My favorite tradition is picking a Christmas tree with my family. We often visited Watts Tree Farm and loved walking among the trees, looking for the right size and shape. Then when we’d get it home, we put on Christmas music while putting the ornaments on the tree, most of them passed down from our family, or made by the kids in school. When I can manage to stay awake, we treasure going to midnight Mass.”

David Clark, Fishers “My family and I love the Christmas light display at Reynolds. We drive through literally every time we are out and about during the holidays. This year, we are also looking forward to the Town of Fishers Tree Lighting Ceremony and the new Fishers Winter Wonderland display.”

Wendy Phillips, Carmel “We love going to the Palladium for Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s spectacular holiday concert.”

A FORMAL AFFAIR

John Sampson, Westfield “The best Christmas holiday tradition has only been around for a few years but gets better each year – ‘The Westfield in Lights’ celebration. The business lighting contest, the opening of the season with the downtown event on Dec. 7, and the general smiles of the people. Westfield Playhouse has been a part of this event since it started and with a new format this year, the Playhouse will perform as well as many other local groups on an outdoor stage and an indoor venue. The Westfield Parks Dept. is great to work with in making things ‘Christmas Delightful.’”

Jim Wafford, Noblesville “It would have to be the lighting of the Square. I have been in Noblesville for 22 holiday seasons, and enjoy the decorations and lights that just bring a warm, calm feeling of the past as you stroll or drive around the square. When I was on Logan Street many years ago, I was involved (a number of years) with Dan Yancey of Yancey’s Apparel in decorating the square. Now, I get to enjoy the work of others decorating the square, which has improved every year!”

Commentary by Vicky Earley I just realized how late Thanksgiving is this year! Whew! The days that lead up to the big feast can be frenetic. A few extra days are a welcome sight on the calendar.

With a never-ending to-do list, table setting quickly becomes secondary to the meal.

There is nothing that says “I have been up since 4 a.m. and I am exhausted,” like a great meal served on a table thrown together at the last minute with a bouquet of generic flowers from the grocery store and paper plates.

Although I must confess I have personally been seduced by some of the gorgeous patterns available now.

Seasonal fruits and vegetables like apples, red and green pears, miniature pumpkins and gourds are key to a bountiful table. They are nature’s gift to decorating. Even if you are ready to drop from marathon potato mashing, you can pull off a beautiful table just by planning a few days ahead. Invest in a basket or wire cornucopia.

When it’s time to decorate the table, lift the cornucopia a bit off the surface of the table with a solid book or two. Cover the book with a cloth and fill the cornucopia until it spills out and down onto the table. Embellish it with clusters of pine-

cone, nuts and even greenery from the yard. Add some crystal candle holders and taper candles to your abundant arrangement, and it will truly look like Thanksgiving has arrived.

The truly industrious can consider carving out a pumpkin and using it as a vase for autumnal colored flowers.

Don’t forget about your fruits and greenery.

Simply wrap twine several times around a folded cloth napkin and finish with tucks of real berries and herbs. OK, use the fake stuff here. I can just imagine the herbs wilting by the time dinner is served.

If you are serving your family, the in-laws and the neighbors, your feast is most likely being

offered buffet style. Even though Norman Rockwell won’t be capturing your line of guests going through the serving line, there is no need to give up a gorgeous presentation. Something as simple as tying a knife, fork and spoon together with a ribbon and placing in a bed of legumes in a basket is far more interesting that simply just heaping the tableware in a stack.

Not everything on your table has to cost a king’s ransom. For a simple, beautiful way to display place cards, simply “shop” your dining room cupboard and seek out small, clear glass bud vases, shot glasses, and votive candleholders. An assortment of shapes and sizes will add visual appeal to the table. Fill the gathered vessels halfway with dried legumes for a base. Small cuttings from a seasonal branch or blossom will add height and detail to these miniature arrangements. The actual place cards don’t have to be a formal white card...it could be as simple as brown Kraft paper torn into a shape and tucked into the branches.

Tips for decorating the interior

By Anna Skinner • editorial@youarecurrent.com As temperatures start to drop and the holiday decorations start to come out, homeowners frantically dig through closets looking for those Christmas lights and Santa figurines. Bobi Clark, of Noblesville’s Decorating Den Interiors, gives some helpful tips on decorating for the holidays.

• Remove simple things like Clark table coverings and accessories to make dining tables look more formal and classy.

• Rearrange furniture to create conversation areas for when family and friends come over.

• Put place settings on tables.

• Change center pieces to poinsettias or holiday décor.

• Add holiday colors such as maroon and hunter green or candy apple and bright green around the house. This can be done in forms of afghans and pillow cases. It is acceptable for this to not match the other

furniture since it’s in holiday colors.

• You always have the option of putting out your typical holiday decorations such as Christmas trees, Christmas lights, etc.

By doing these few, simple acts your home will have a festive look that will please both family and friends. To learn more about Decorating Den Interiors and see their photo gallery, visit www.decoratingden.com.

The perfect (wrapped) present

By Anna Skinner • editorial@youarecurrent.com Preparation for what goes under the tree is just as important as what goes on the dinner table. A well-wrapped gift can be as enticing to dive into a perfectly cooked turkey – especially for the young (and young at heart) on Christmas morning.

Shelby Hobbs, this year’s Hamilton County 4-H Fair gift-wrapping grand champion, likes to paint her own gift wrapping paper and incorporate things onto the gift wrap that aren’t commonly used, such as adding toys to the bows. The Fishers High School senior also provided some helpful tips to those who may not have those grand champion-level skills – yet: • Buy wrapping paper with the grid on the back.

This makes it easier to make the square of wrapping paper even on all sides and you don’t have to measure it out with a ruler.

• Make sure the ends are short, so they don’t warp when you fold the paper. This will make the edges of the gift look precise and sharp.

• In case you don’t cut a perfectly straight line and your paper comes off crooked or jagged, you can fold the rough edges down underneath so it appears sharp and straight. This also makes it easier to open.

• Instead of taping the paper together in the

middle of the package, tape it on the sides so it’s harder to see the line of tape that may take away from the image of the gift.

• To make those curly-cue ribbons you often see on the presents of your more skilled gift-wrapping friends, take the sharp edge of a pair of scissors and run it down the length of some general holiday ribbon. This will curl the ribbon and add to the look of the gift.

• Lastly, try to always use boxes and wrap the gift with wrapping paper when you can.

“Even if something isn’t square I will put it in a box just because it looks a little crisper. With gift bags people can cheat and peek at the gift inside.

I like having the complete surprise,” Hobbs said.

Managing holiday stress Commentary By Kristen Boice Focus on what matters. Figure out what is the most important to you and forget the rest.

Learn to say “no” to things that don’t matter. It is OK to set some healthy boundaries and not take on responsibility for everything. Don’t overschedule or over-commit yourself.

Stop and be present. Take time to be still and enjoy the moment. Take a deep breath and pause.

Let go of perfectionism and people pleasing. The tree and house decorations don’t have to look like they are out of a magazine. It’s about enjoying the process and having fun. It is okay to let some things go. No one ends up being happy when we try to please everyone.

Watch the negative self-talk. We are often our own worst critics. Learn to counter the negative thoughts with positive “I am …” messages. For example, if you say to yourself, “I am not good enough.” Say to yourself, “I am doing the best I can,” or “I can handle this.”

Jump off the guilt trips. If you or someone else tries to take you on a guilt trip, stop and jump off the train. Guilt is about feeling bad about a behavior or choice we have made. Examine it and then give yourself some grace. No one is perfect. If you know in your heart it is the best

decision for you, trust yourself! Don’t give your power away.

Notice your expectations. Are they too high? Are they serving you well? Are they realistic? If not, rethink your expectations. These tend to create anxiety and feelings of not being good enough. Again, focus on what matters and what is important.

Ask for help. This is often one of the most difficult things for people to do. It’s okay to ask the kids to help with chores or your partner to jump in and help. We are all in this together.

Maybe you need to talk to someone about how you are feeling. You will feel more supported and better able to cope with whatever comes your way. Don’t take on too much!

Focus on self-care. People often feel selfish if they focus on taking care of themselves. This is one of the key factors in managing stress during the holidays and any time of the year. Get a massage, go for a walk, journal, read a book, talk to a friend or do something you love that keeps you grounded.

Black Friday shopping is a popular holiday tradition, and now big-box retailers are opening on Thanksgiving Day for huge blowout sales at unusual hours. On Nov. 30, a much less familiar and possibly much more important event will occur. Small Business Saturday is taking place all over the nation, hoping that citizens will use that day to go out and shop locally instead of at big retail stores or online.

“It’s a day of the year for everyone to reach out locally and say, ‘I’m going to buy something local today.’ If everyone did that, small businesses would thrive,” said Erin O’Rear, owner of The Wandering Peacock in downtown Westfield.

“I think people get too hung up on buying everything on the Internet. In my store I offer 25 local artists and fun, eccentric gifts that are unique and handmade.”

“I think small businesses are the ones that stay in touch with the community and are the ones that make an honest effort to work in and with the community. I think small businesses are the ones that contribute the most to society as far as on a local level,” Carmel Couture owner Himan Garg said. “If local communities were able to support their small businesses, they would be able to continue giving back to society and continue being a part of the community.”

Local chambers of commerce also are encouraging citizens to go out as Small Business Saturday becomes a permanent fixture on the holiday shopping calendar.

“I think it’s important because the small businesses many times are the real identity of your downtown area,” Fishers Chamber President Dan Canan said. “There are many longtime businesses here and they become what create the difference between your community and other communities out there.”

“Small, locally owned businesses are an integral part of our community as they provide employment opportunities, support our community organizations, and provide needed goods and services,” said Julie Johns-Cole, Zionsville Chamber of Commerce executive director.

Another incentive to shop local is to keep the town’s money local as well, according to Noblesville Economic Development Director Judi Johnson.

“We want people to support locally owned small businesses and shop in businesses that employ Noblesville citizens,” she said, adding that a majority of Noblesville retail is small businesses, especially in the downtown area.

Large national retailers have Black Friday and online retailers have Cyber Monday. While both are about the thrill of the hunt, Small Business Saturday is about the thrill of discovery and gives small businesses a day of their own.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus Eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial on Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history’s most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials, and on posters and stamps. – The Newseum ••• DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?

Virginia O’Hanlon, 115 West Ninety-Fifth Street ••• VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the

whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there

are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart.

Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

On the table Appetizer

Main Course

Baked Potato Soup

Sausage Cream Puffs

Ingredients: 1 pound bulk pork sausage, 8 ounces cream cheese (cut into cubes), 2 (8-count) cans refrigerator crescent rolls, 1 egg white and Poppy seeds (optional).

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown the sausage in a skillet, stirring until crumbly.

Add cream cheese. Cook until melted, stirring constantly. Roll out each can of biscuit dough to form a rectangle, pressing the perforations to seal. Cut the dough into 2 inch squares using a floured pizza cutter. Spoon sausage mixture into the center of each square. Gather the corners of each square and crimp to seal to form a purse. Place on a baking sheet. Brush with the egg white and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

By Joan Nickander, Hamilton County Extension Homemakers “Holiday Ideas” book.

Drink

Amazingly Good Eggnog Ingredients: 4 cups milk, 5 whole cloves, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 12 egg yolks, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 1/2 cups light rum, 4 cups light cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.

Directions: Combine milk, cloves, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and cinnamon in a saucepan. Heat over lowest setting for 5 minutes. Slowly bring milk mixture to a boil. In a large bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar.

Whisk together until fluffy. Whisk hot milk mixture slowly into the eggs. Pour mixture into saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes or until thick. Do not allow mixture to boil.

Strain to remove cloves; cool for about an hour. Stir in rum, cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla and nutmeg.

Refrigerate overnight before serving. www.allrecipes.com

Soup

Smoked Standing Rib Roast Ingredients: 15 pounds charcoal briquettes, 2 pounds hickory wood chips, 1 cup bourbon whiskey, 1 4-pound standing rib roast (bone in) and 1/2 cup steak seasoning.

Directions: Start at least 10 pounds of charcoal in a torpedo-style smoker. You need a fairly hot fire.

Fill the secondary pan with cold water and wait for the coals to turn white. Soak hickory chips in bourbon with enough water to cover. Rub the roast liberally with steak seasoning, being sure to coat all

surfaces. When the coals are ready, place the roast on the top grate. Throw a few handfuls of soaked hickory chips onto the fire, and close the lid. Check the fire every 45 minutes or so, adding more charcoal as needed to keep the fire hot. Every time you check the fire, add more wood chips. Cook for 8 to 10 hours, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the roast. The meat tastes best when rare (145 degrees), but cook to your liking. www.allrecipes.com

Ingredients: 2 potatoes, 3 tablespoons margarine, 2 cups chopped white onion, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 4 cups chicken stock, 2 cups water, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 1/2 cups instant mashed potato flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 cup half-and-half, 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, 8 ounces bacon (cooked and crumbled) and 2 green onions, chopped.

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake potatoes for 1 hour or until done. Set aside to cool.

Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Saute onions until tender and golden brown.

Stir in flour; cook 5 minutes to make a roux. Pour in chicken stock and water. Add cornstarch and mashed potato flakes. Season with salt, pepper, basil and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the skin from the cooled potatoes and discard. Dice potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and stir into soup. Add half-and-half.

Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until thick. Spoon into bowls and garnish with shredded cheese, bacon and chopped green onion. www.allrecipes.com

Side Dish

Treat

Peppermint Taffy Ingredients: 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup butter, 2 cups light corn syrup, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 teaspoons peppermint extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 6 drops red food coloring.

Directions: Grease a 15 x 10-inch pan with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside. In a heavy small saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add remaining butter and stir until melted. Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 250 degrees (hard-ball stage). Remove from heat; stir in the extract, salt and food coloring, if desired. Pour into prepared pan. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Divide into four portions. With well-buttered fingers, quickly pull one portion of candy until firm but pliable (color will become light pink). Pull into a 1/2-inch wide

Pineapple Stuffing

rope. Repeat with remaining candy. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Wrap each in waxed paper.
