Reynolds light display has 20th anniversary

They’re all part of the Reynolds Farm Equipment, Inc.'s 20th Annual Free Christmas Lights Display, and it all started with a Model D metal-wheel tractor.

Reynolds spokesman Michael Lawson said the very first lights display started with that single tractor, and the following year things got a little more intricate.

By the third year, Reynolds set out to do something unique with it.

New attractions are regularly added annually, and the opportunity to give back to the community is available with the Fishers Come-to-Me Food Pantry and Interfaith Hospitality Network on hand.

“Christmas was huge to them (Mac and Arline Reynolds),” Lawson said. “It wasn’t about gifts. It was about spirit.”

The Reynolds started the business in 1955. Arline got to flip the big switch to power up the lights display this year.

The flip of the switch powers countless sculptures, some large some small. Until this year’s newest piece was lit, a 62.5 feet tall cross, the Abominable Snowman placing the star on top of the Christmas tree was the tallest attraction.

Each display seen from Ind. 37, 126th Street, or Reynolds Drive is built by the company, employing a welder to do a lot

of the work. Construction for each display varies depending on size and intricacy.

A total of three Reynolds employees are responsible for putting up the directions that slow traffic on the surrounding thoroughfares, according to Lawson.

Construction on the surrounding roads caused Reynolds to hesitate on the show this year, but after assurance from INDOT, the show goes on.

The display runs from dusk until dawn until Jan. 1 at 12501 Reynolds Dr. On Dec. 7 and Dec. 14 kids can meet Santa Claus, and visitors can partake in hot chocolate, cookies and popcorn.

By Dan Domsic • dan@yoaurecurrent.com Fishers residents Renee Ahearn and Jennifer Payne teamed up to create an online party resource site.

Now they’ve teamed up with local businesses to help children at the Wheeler Mission Center for Women and Children with their new Holiday Hands of Hope campaign.

The campaign started on Nov. 15 and runs through Dec. 10. The goal is to collect toys and books for kids.

Payne said Wheeler takes care of kids from all ages, infant to 17, and the need is there all year round. Nothing will go to waste.

“We wanted to do something to give back to the community,” Payne said.

In addition, Sky Zone plans to give a free 30-minute jump pass to those who donate a new toy or book to the cause on Dec. 1.

To raise awareness for Holiday Hands of Hope, My Indy Party worked with Drawpartner Graphics in Fishers to put together a coloring contest for kids, illustrating the event’s goal: helping children.

To get the coloring page, visit myindyparty. com, facebook.com/MyIndyParty or facebook. com/phankley. The due date is Dec. 15. Entries must be mailed to My Indy Party (P.O. Box 458, Fishers, Ind., 46038). Kids up to 12 years old may participate and have the chance to win prizes drawn at random.

Town council

What happened: The council members and staff discussed the town-to-city transition in a work session.

What it means: In an open meeting before the regular town council meeting, the councilors had the opportunity to discuss and ask questions concerning the transition from town government to city government. Few questions were raised to the town’s legal counsel, Jennifer Messer, as the councilors agreed a memo was clear and detailed. The only deadline approaching is in November 2013, if elections are to be held in 2014.

What happened: The council members were briefed by Jeff Hill, director of engineering, on road projects around town.

What it means: Hill gave the councilors a rundown on every project going on in Fishers, including those that are not being executed by the town. Expect work to be made on the Fall Creek and Brooks School Road roundabout before winter sets in earnest. The Allisonville Road and 96th Street project isn’t set for “substantial completion” until May 28 of next year. Other projects have seen varying degrees of completion.

What happened: Additional funding for Holland Park Building renovations was approved.

What it means: The Holland Park Building renovation project is a multifaceted one. To renovate the building, a base bid was set, which then had a total five alternates adding onto the project. In the previous town council session, the councilors wanted advice on how to fund the project in its full capacity, including the alternates. Staff came back at this meeting with a recommended plan that includes the base bid plus four of the alternates, with the only one not included being the third alternate for kitchen renovations. Myers Construction is in charge of the now $602,700 project, funded by current and future Community Development Block Grants, the Parks and Recreation budget.

What happened: A request to approve annual contract for Town Court legal services was pulled from the consent agenda.

What it means: At a typical town council meeting, approximately five items are put on the consent agenda and voted upon as a slate, meaning one vote takes place for all of the items. This item was specifically in regards to Church, Church, Hittle and Antrim’s services at the Town Court. Town council member Renee Cox asked to pull the item from the consent agenda for further discussion in new business. Cox and council member Stuart Easley asked questions concerning the degree of automation involved in the town’s deferral program, as well as the number of cases the program sees.

Ultimately, the contract for 2013 was approved, and Church, Church, Hittle and Antrim will collect $36,000 for its services in this area.

Agriculture Late-season rains save soybean crop COMMUNITY

By Darla Kinney Scoles • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Hamilton County farmer Rand Woodward, featured in a May 2012 Current cover story, is back in the tractor seat again – harvesting his crops – following the worst drought year in decades. He’s not complaining, though. According to Woodward, farmers in Hamilton, Tipton and Madison counties benefitted from late-season rains that literally saved the soybean crop and in some cases, even the farm. “That bean crop will save the day,� said Woodward, adding that certainly farmers in other areas were not so lucky. “This has been a great year to learn to never give up.�

Counting this as his third major drought, Woodward said, “As a farmer, you are already somewhat prepared for weather extremes because it is always in the back of your mind.�

As Woodward moves at 5 mph cutting a 30-foot wide swath through a corn field, the monitor on his tractor provides a constant yield read-out, which bounces from 0 to 180 bushels per acre. When the field is entirely harvested the overall yield averages out to about 100 bushels per acre – half of the 220 it would be in a normal growing season. Weeds and insects were more of an issue this year as well. “A 300-acre field normally makes an easy 60,000 bushels of corn. I’m hoping to get half of that,� said Woodward. “Every time you go into a corn field, you wish it was beans. But the corn

that is there looks good. There’s just less of it.�

The soybeans look good as well, and fortunately for Woodward Family Farms, more of their fields were planted with beans this season rather than in corn. That fact, along with crop insurance, decades of experience and knowledgeable strategies will keep the farm going in spite of this historically dry year. The widespread nature of the drought actually benefits those hit as well, as prices will not affect just one pocket of growers.

Woodward, who is a loyal Beck’s Hybrids customer, credits in part, improvements in seed technology with the yields he does see in bad weather years. Companies like Beck’s have been hit as well, but, like the farmer, prepare for such years. “Like much of the Midwest, we were affected by the drought,� said Scott Beck, vice president of Beck’s Hybrids. “But we were prepared for unfortunate weather and are confident that we’ll be able to supply our customers with seed, even our most popular hybrids, for the upcoming year.�

Woodward expects to see the price of goods rise, which will regulate demand and balance out the market. If, however, a second drought situation should occur he sees a much bleaker picture. “Farmers have gotten so efficient,� declared Woodward, “that we can overrun this country with grain in a year if conditions are right. But another year of crop failure could see us running out of grain. Hopefully that will not happen.� “Farmers always hope for the best, but prepare for the worst,�Woodward said.

Local elementary school hosts benefit for Hurricane Sandy victims

By Nancy Edwards • editorial@youarecurrent.com Those affected by Hurricane Sandy’s devastating attack on the East Coast are not limited to the area’s residents. Some students and teachers of Hoosier Road Elementary School in Fishers either witnessed the destruction happening, have cherished memories of places destroyed, or are worried about their friends and families who have been without electricity and running water.

“I lived in New Jersey,” said Leslie Fisher, a first grade teacher whose class is part of the REACH program for high ability students at Hoosier Road Elementary. “My family was upset with the devastation.”

Fisher and other teachers from the school showed their students videos, pictures and flyers of the storm, including damage done to the roller coaster in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. “The kids were upset that the boardwalk was ruined.”

Some of the teachers began discussing ideas for how to help the East Coast. The students wanted to see the roller coaster rebuilt. Plans were quickly made to host a benefit with a boardwalk theme.

Within just one week, students from the REACH program created and completed 15 games and activities for the event—from a football toss to miniature golf to a silent auc-

tion. They also created a miniature boardwalk and hung pictures and letters on the wall. On Nov. 15, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., the Boardwalk Benefit was held in Hoosier Road Elementary’s cafeteria. Guests of the festive event listened to beach music and watched dancing by students and teachers, who had leis wrapped around their necks.

Students were asked to donate $1 to attend the event. The total amount of money raised from the event was over $1,600, which went toward the Red Cross.

Hoosier Road Elementary focuses on character building and various opportunities for students to serve. Participating in events like the Boardwalk Benefit gives students an “understanding perspective value of gratitude and being thankful for what they have,” said Will Hurst, principal of Hoosier Road Elementary “We give back to others who may not have what we do.”

Emily Damson’s first-grade daughter Alyssa made bracelets and maracas to sell to help raise money for the benefit. “I think it’s great,” Damson said of service projects. “For my daughter, this event helped her understand the East Coast tragedy and affected people. It’s been good for (students) to learn about what the community can do to help one another.”

Local non-profit organization hopes to save marriages

By Nancy Edwards • editorial@youarecurrent.com A Noblesville couple has started a faith-based, non-profit organization in hopes of reducing the divorce rate in Hamilton County.

Better Together is an initiative began by Derek and Missy Irvin after Derek, small groups pastor at Northview Church in Carmel, completed a sabbatical in June. During his sabbatical, Derek traveled to four different organizations in four different states, all dedicated to providing resources to help save marriages.

Research showed that the community-based organizations reduced their divorce rate by 20 percent or more, Derek noted.

Derek and Missy, a marriage and family therapist, have been leading the marriage ministry at Northview Church for several years, offering classes for married and engaged couples. “We thought these were neat programs,�

Derek said, “but what about the people in the community who don’t go to church?�

In 2011 more than 1,400 couples in Hamilton County divorced. That same year, 1,650 marriage licenses were issued in the county. “A lot of couples coming in (for help) think that the chemistry is not right or they married the wrong person,� Missy said.

While divorce is hard enough on couples, it’s even harder on kids, Derek said, which is why Better Together has a goal to improve the lives of children by helping their parents form and sustain healthy relationships through skillsbased education and mass media messaging. “Couples do better when they know better,�

Derek said. “It’s much easier to make a good

Derek and Missy Irvin marriage great than rescue one in crisis. If you equip couples with skills for healthy relationships, it keeps them from getting into a crisis.

It’s not about staying in a stable, miserable marriage; it’s about having an awesome marriage.�

Better Together also offers advice and encouragement for engaged couples by providing a class called “Becoming One� to help lay the foundation for a great marriage. “Every couple who stands up at their wedding wants their marriage to last a lifetime,� Derek said. “Research shows that couples who prepare for marriage are 30 percent more likely to go the distance in their marriage.�

An upcoming class, called “The Marriage You Want,� addresses common problems such as communication and conflict resolution skills and is intended to help strengthen these skills and offers ways to get and stay connected as a couple. The two-part, eight-hour class is offered on Friday, Nov. 30 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 1 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Delaware Township Community Center, 9090 East 131st St. To register for the class or more information on Better Together, please visit www.bettertogether.us.

Youth Mentoring Initiative looking to expand roster of volunteer mentors

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com The Youth Mentoring Initiative, a not-forprofit that aims to provide personal development and more to Hamilton County youths, is looking to expand its pool of mentors.

Fishers Junior High, Fishers High School and Options Charter Schools in Carmel and Noblesville all have a YMI program.

The overall goal of the program is to help children become whole, productive members of society. “The ultimate goal is to help them (children) get prepared for life and to have the assets, the resources to be successful people,� Executive Director Darren Heil said.

YMI looks at success as being a whole person inside and out; grades are not the only focus. “If more adults were engaged in the lives of young people, I believe our communities and neighborhoods would be better and richer places to live,� Heil said.

An informational meeting is being held at Fishers Fire Station 91 (2 Municipal Dr.) on Dec. 4 at 6:30 p.m.

Heil said the initiative is looking to add 60 volunteers to its current roster of 35 mentors as www.currentinfishers.com

a result of demand from the schools.

He said the schools can see the impact mentors have on personal development and issues, freeing up teachers to focus on education. “They (the schools) have a lot of kids that don’t have enough caring adults in their lives,�

Heil said.

YMI focuses on values like integrity, honesty, responsibility, equality, peaceful conflict resolution, social justice and more, Heil said.

To do that, the organization seeks out volunteers who exemplify five values: availability in time and presence, listening skills being, teachable, optimism and having an open mind.

Heil said he’d like to see communities transformed into mentoring communities.

YMI has been around since 2008 and through mentoring aims to keep kids on track, as opposed to waiting for them to stray, Heil said.

Heil said often business professionals sign on to be part of the mentoring program, such as insurance salespeople and real estate agents, as well as stay-at-home mothers.

YMI also has a program for teen mothers, but it is not recruiting at this time.

Technology education teacher Brad Bill pulls off hands-on lesson with the help of Air National Guard

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com The whir of helicopter blades becomes almost deafening as the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter hovers closer to the ground.

Its wheels get closer and closer to the turf, and the wind generated from the multi-million dollar aircraft that weighs thousands of pounds knocks over the sideline benches.

An aircraft fit to carry soldiers into battle landed on the Riverside Junior High School football field on Nov. 14.

As the Air National Guard personnel filed out of the expensive weapon of war, they took on another roll besides soldier.

They became guest teachers in a lesson plan by technology education teacher Brad Bill.

Two months of preparation and correspondence led up to one day of school that put a real-life application of classroom theory in the hands of approximately 75 eighth graders in Bill’s technology education classes.

“I think the added value was they were able to see first-hand what we were talking about in class,” Bill said, holding a rubber band-powered airplane.

The true extra worth was students being able to compare their 88-cent, rubber-band airplanes that weigh about one gram, to the multimillion-dollar chopper and seeing what they were learning on a bigger scale Bill said.

a new kind of shop class Turn the clock back a few years, and Bill’s technology education courses might be called, simply, “shop.”

His classes are currently working on a transportation unit, with the helicopter landing capping off the “air” segment, for the most part. He said the course focuses more on the engineering side of what would have been preparation for trade schools.

Teaching is in his blood. Both Bill’s mom and aunt are teachers, but he didn’t set out to teach technology.

“I was in the middle of my junior year of college at Ball State,” he said, “and I was a social studies education major. I was getting burned out.”

Bill’s then girlfriend, now wife, Camille, told him to switch to technology education.

After being convinced such a topic was still taught, Bill switched tracks and took extra semesters to complete the new degree. He said he likes having a hands-on approach to learning, taking on jobs like painting and other home improvement projects to pass the time outside of class.

Degree in hand, he chose to teach eighth graders over other age groups because he felt he could make a difference during a time of change for young people, he said.

It turns out, the visit from the Air National Guard would make an impact on students.

You have to stick with your education, and you have to keep going with it. But any of you can be in that position, and it’s not reserved for the elite, as long as you earn it work hard to obtain it …’”

To deliver that message, Bill worked since September to make it happen. A parent at a meet-the-teacher event, who works at IUPUI and knew of a similar event there, gave him contact information in the Guard, and after much correspondence and some coincidental connections, paperwork and cooperation from his administration, it all came together.

In the past, Bill brought in Andretti Autosport and its Indy cars to help teach aerodynamics. After having a helicopter land on the football field, he said some students walked away with a career interest.

Setting out at trying to make it all happen, Bill said the worst the military could have told him was “no.”

“If you don’t at least try then you’re never going to know,” he said. www.currentinfishers.com

Homegrown businesses

It is our position that homegrown businesses are the best. There are few things that exemplify living out the American dream more than being a small business owner.

From an employee standpoint, small businesses can provide easier integration of family life and livelihood and are often more understanding of employee’s personal and professional needs. From a consumer’s point of view, small businesses offer originality, friendliness and a break from mass production. Unfortunately, the current economic conditions and impending national changes to the cost of providing health care benefits to employees seems to be squeezing the life out of small businesses.

Fortunately, organizations like the Entrepreneurship Advancement Center, whose mission is supporting innovation and entrepreneurial thinking by providing programs for high school students and supporting early stage businesses on the north side of Indianapolis, are making it easier for homegrown businesses to thrive. This year Lollies Candy Shop, a provider of specialty locallymade candies and unique gifts, was named the winner of the third annual Entrepreneurship Advancement Center’s Community Business Plan Competition. The shop will be located in downtown Fishers. For more information on the Entrepreneurship Advancement Center, visit www.goentrepreneurs.org. This holiday season, include small businesses on your shopping list.

For the 20th year, Reynolds lights it up

We have to want it

Commentary by Terry Anker

Most credit newsreel broadcaster, Westbrook Van Voorhis, in his series from the early 1930’s, “March of Time,” with first coining the now clichéd expression that “time marches on.” Regardless of attribution, it’s not like the concept is a new one – indeed, time does march on. The most distilled interpretation might argue that while we can chose to stand still, the world waits for no one. Deadlines come and go. People age and opportunities pass. All can and do occur without interaction or intention from any of us.

So the question isn’t really whether we have choices to make, it is more whether or not we chose to make them. And then, isn’t the challenge whether this forced choice is one that we embrace or one that is thrust upon us? For me, it the quandary is summed up thusly: Is the choice something that I have to do or is it something that I want to do. It seems like a minor, perhaps even inconsequential dissimi-

larity, but when approaching the challenge of accomplishing a task doesn’t it make all the difference?

Apply the concept to our daily routine.

Is it the issue that one is required to clean their house or is that they seek to have a tidy home? Is the matter that one has to do the required reading or is it that they desire to obtain knowledge? Is it that we have to do the grunt work instead of taking the marquee role or is it that we’re eager to get the hard work behind us so that we can move on to higher reward functions. Do we have to practice or do we want to improve our game?

Can we ever get to success without intention? Maybe in order to be the best, we have to want it.

"What occupies our mind sets the emotional tone of our life, out of which our actions flow" - Dalllas Willard Current in Fishers

From dusk through dawn, now though New Year’s Day, Reynolds Farm Equipment, Inc. of Fishers is lighting up the darkness in its usual, big-time holiday way. Initially thought to be headed to the sidelines for a year to accommodate road construction, the light show by Reynolds is blazing in all its glory; it launched last Tuesday, allowing the company to forge ahead with continuing the tradition, thankfully. According to the family owned business, visitors will be able to contribute to two organizations that will have volunteers on-site for several nights of the display to collect any free-will monetary and nonperishable goods donations. Fishers Come-To-Me Food Pantry and Interfaith Hospitality Network of Indianapolis are the beneficiaries. Visiting motorists will have the opportunity to receive donor information when they drive through the lights display as well as make any free-will donations.

We like this; it’s called paying it forward. To view the lights, go to Ind. 37 and 126th Street.

••• It seems that in today’s climate, “transparency” is a buzzword that people like to throw around. Now that the vote is settled and Fishers is heading toward becoming a second-class city, transparency needs to be a part of the town’s mindset when it comes to the transition. Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness has given our managing editor, Dan Domsic, a decent amount of information and has answered questions that are possible for him to answer. It was mentioned in a work session that the Future of Fishers web pages are going to become “transition” pages.

What needs to happen is that when the town decides to make a decision on when the mayoral election will take place, it needs to be forthright with the people on when and why the decision was reached.

On gators, helicopters and cardboard balers Commentary by Dan Domsic That rule I mentioned in my last column about trying to wait a week before writing a column about it? Yeah, I’m throwing that out.

The week leading up to last week's and this week's issue of Current were packed with a lot of different experiences that make the job special.

I received word that a teacher managed to bring in the best classroom visual aide ever. Brad Bill, the technology education teacher at Riverside Junior High, had a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter land on the school’s football field.

As the chopper moved closer to the ground, my coat started blowing around from its monstrous blades’ gusts. My name tag got knocked off my shirt. Benches were knocked over. It was an awesome experience for someone who grew up memorizing flash cards of aircraft. I used to be able to tell you if I was looking at an F-14, F-15, F-16 or F-18, but that was something like 17 years ago. My dad, an aviation nut, is completely to blame for that one.

The experience offered up some nice nostalgia. But, much to my irritation, I received a text message from Current’s art director, Zach Ross, who heard that the Super Target was on fire. I was getting ready to walk into Riverside.

All I knew was that it was on fire, and I had to make the judgment call of whether I should

head to the Target or stay at the school. I made the right decision and stayed at the school. If I had known the whole story right off the bat, it wouldn’t have been any kind of dilemma.

Multi-million dollar military equipment is a lot more captivating than a cardboard baler fire.

Don’t even try to argue with me. It could be the Rolls Royce of cardboard balers, and I would still take the Black Hawk. Every time.

As the week moved on, I had a chance to visit Reynolds Farm Equipment, Inc. to chat with Michael Lawson about the 20th anniversary of its free lights show.

Lawson, one of the Reynolds’ grandchildren, carted me around, literally on a Gator cart, to take an up-close look at the display, and I have to say I admired their ingenuity and holiday spirit, as well as the hospitality shown to me.

That and I got to ride on a Gator.

I don’t think there’s anybody out there, besides me, who can say that’s all in a day’s work. Besides other journalists, but we won’t count them.

All I want for Christmas

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

What do you get when you mix together an attention-deficit disorder husband with a penchant for impulse-buying, a four-pack of pet-deprived children, and a worn-down moi? A dog! A gosh-darn dog.

I swear I don’t know how it happened. I’ve successfully resisted canine ownership now for 16-plus years. (As mentioned previously, I am NOT a pet person, particularly dogs. My first puppy, Muffin, ran away after three days, a golden retriever mauled my younger sister when I was eight, and another sister’s Doberman pincher enjoyed shredding my personal undergarments while I was growing up. Doo suggests counseling.) The lizards bought me some time, and when Santa brought the cat I thought I was home free.

But no-ooooo! Adamant opposition on my part could not withstand the brutal erosive forces of my family’s perennial hopes of buying a dog. In my defense, they caught me at a weak moment.

I’ve been leaning toward a puppy for a while but had convinced Doo to wait until the spring.

The weather would be more conducive to potty training and, frankly, it was still six months away. Then holiday shopping snagged me with her cold, gnarled hands. My girls are easy . . . clothes, accessories, a chocolate fountain . . . but what to get the boys? All they really want are Xbox games and gift cards to buy Xbox games.

And I refuse to contribute to their “We’ll just live in the basement of our parent’s house ‘til we’re 50” dream.” When I asked if there was anything else . . . anything . . . they both replied with a resounding “A dog!” Well, poo.

Then I remembered how cute it was when the kids awoke on December, 2009 to find an adorable little kitten under the tree. Maybe I could actually do it! Thus, the crack in the dam. So I casually mention this stupid idea to Doo, and literally the next thing I know, I’m being swept away in a flood of lies and carefully orchestrated plans for obtaining the dog. No joke, less than 24 hours elapsed between my showing Doo an ad for Labrador retrievers and said Labrador retriever urinating in my car on the way home from Lizton.

I’ve subjected myself and my house to one year of puppy pee, puppy teething, and in general, good-for-nothing puppy antics. Doggone it! Ah well, I suppose it was inevitable. When you love your family, sometimes you have to make sacrifices. Besides, they pretty much have to do whatever I say now because I’m the awesome, albeit pet-traumatized, mom who finally got them a dog. Peace out.

Big Good John

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Big John Gillis was as tall as a grizzly bear, but gentle as a teddy bear. The forty-year veteran of Indiana radio, who recently passed away, was an iconic figure. His loyal listeners looked up to him. “I guess being 6’ 4” was a big help,” he once told me.

So ingrained in Indianapolis was the persona of Big John that until his passing, people still thought he spent his mornings in a helicopter reporting for harried commuters making their way to work. Truth is, John hadn’t been in a WIBC chopper for almost 20 years. In a bow to the economy, he had transitioned to a fixed-wing plane and then a mobile unit for his reports. He ended his traffic career broadcasting from a studio where even the sound of barking dogs on the street outside did not convince his fans he was really earthbound.

His words were meticulously chosen.

Years ago in an interview at his home, after he left WIBC, John told me, “I have 20 seconds to do what I have to do, read a sponsor’s name, and then if I can figure out a way to twist a word or inject my personality into it, that’s it …

I’m a disembodied voice, and every 10 minutes I stop what I am doing and talk to my imaginary friends.”

A disembodied voice? Perhaps. But it still embodied everything that was good about radio in those years. www.currentinfishers.com

John loved radio. It was his best friend. He wanted to introduce you to his best friend. But “why radio?” I asked him during our visit in 2007. “Because everywhere you travel, it’s there; it takes you places immediately … it exercises your imagination.” If there was any sadness, any remorse in John, it was that media had changed.

“We went to high tech and lost the high touch,” he told me. “Radio should be about content, character and personality.”

John should have thrown in loyalty, an ingredient he added to a recipe that brought him a taste of success, and also fulfilled him. There was no doubt, Big John had many opportunities to leave the market and pursue a more lucrative career elsewhere. That was not in John’s flight plan.

“If I have 20 minutes to live and I spend the next 19 with you, having this conversation, I would die happy,” John said to me. “If in that 20 minutes, we come up with an idea and we have 20 years to make it happen, then God has blessed me far beyond my wildest dreams.”

John did not have those 20 years. But if you still hear his halting, yet mesmerizing, voice in your head, look to the heavens. No, he’s not in the helicopter, but he’s up there. Trust me.

Who won locally

Cody Fenimore, 12, of Sheridan who won awards both for Best Performer 18 and Under in a Drama and Best Actor in a Drama for his portrayal of a mentally challenged youth in “The Diviners.”

Local theaters bring home 19 Encore Awards

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com The annual Encore Awards gala, Indianapolis metropolitan area community theater’s version of Broadway’s Tony Awards, was a very good night for Hamilton County community theaters as Carmel Community Players took home 15 trophies and The Belfry Theatre in Noblesville won four.

“This was a wonderful evening for us,” said CCP president Rich Phipps. “We don’t do our plays to win awards, but recognition like this by our peers is validation that we are our living up to our goal of providing exceptional entertainment up close at Clay Terrace.”

“The encore awards is a celebration of community theater,” said CCP Artistic Director Lori Raffel, who received awards for Best Sound Design of a Drama, Best Sound board Operation of a Drama, and Best Light Board Operator of a Drama. “That our peers recognized our efforts with so many awards is humbling, amazing, and very encouraging.”

“Company,” Stephen Sondheim’s musical about relationships in the 1970s, was a favorite of the judges, winning awards for Best Actress in a Musical (Vickie Phipps), Best Major Supporting Actress in a Musical (Brenna Campbell), Best Male Singer (Mark Duray) and best Musical Number (Side By Side). The show also won a special judges award for its videotaped simulated TV show used to introduce the show and tell audiences to turn off their cell phones.

The award was accepted by Willie Wood who had directed the show and designed its awardwinning introduction.

Another big winner for CCP was “Rebecca” which, along with Raffel’s three trophies gar14 | November 27, 2012

Also taking home a trophy was Franklin College drama professor, Nick Crisafulli, who was awarded Best Cameo in a Drama for “Six Degrees of Separation,” which he also directed.

The Belfry’s awards were split between two shows – “12 Angry Men” and “Hollywood Arms.” The courtroom drama saw Karla Ries and Michael Ries win for Best Set Design of a Drama. Russ Clinton won Best Minor Supporting Actor in a Drama. The personal details of Carol Burnett’s upbringing and early career are the basis for “Hollywood Arms,” which garnered Best Minor Supporting Actress in a Drama for Nichel Washington and Best Major Supporting Actress in a Drama for Jennifer

Perhaps the biggest surprise winner of the night was 12-year-old Cody Fenimore of Sheridan who won awards both for Best Performer 18 and Under in a Drama and Best Actor in a Drama for his portrayal of a mentally challenged youth in “The Diviners.”

“You broke the audience’s heart every night,” Director Danny Russel told Fenimore during his emotional acceptance speech after being named Best Director of a Drama for his work in “The Diviners.” “If you are this good at 12, I can’t wait to see you when you’re 18.”

Men in Black 3 • PG-13, 105 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd “Men in Black 3” has an obligatory feel to it, like it was made to provide a few people a career boost and satisfy quarterly profit margins for the studio. Arriving a full decade after the second (horrible) film in the franchise, “MIB3” is reasonably entertaining, contains some nice special effects and a few interesting new characters.

Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back as members of the secret government agency that protects humankind from the knowledge that bug-eyed aliens are living among them in disguise. But when a particularly nasty alien criminal named Boris the Animal fiddles with the flow of time, J must travel back to 1969 and team up with Agent K’s younger

self (Josh Brolin) to set things right.

The 1960s fashions and vibe are a hoot, and I liked how director Barry Sonnenfeld and his crew make sure the aliens from back then resemble products of era-appropriate pop culture.

But there’s very little heart and soul in the MiB’s third outing, making it the perfect home video rental. Pop it in, get a few yuks and thrills, and never think of it again.

9 slits about 1-inch deep into the top of the lamb, and insert a slice of garlic in each. Rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining herb mixture.

Place lamb seam-side up on a rack set in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven to desired doneness. For medium-rare, a thermometer inserted into the center will read 140 degrees F. Remove lamb from the oven and cover with foil.

Allow to rest for 15 minutes while proceeding with the recipe. While the lamb is resting, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Boil until the vinegar has reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Once reduced, stir in the butter, honey, and sliced figs. Stir until the butter has melted, then remove from the heat, stir in the chopped basil and set aside. To serve, remove the twine from the lamb and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange on a warm serving platter and drizzle with the fig sauce, garnish with mint and basil leaves.

A REASON TO SMILE Here's how to keep it simple For a recent tailgate opportunity the weather forecast worsened all week. On game day the actual weather had temperatures in the low 40s and occasional rain. Early on, as we planned our menu, we thought that or chicken noodle soup would be a warm treat for our guests. Later, we had to decide on how we were going to make, transport, and heat the soup at the game. We wound up with a Rube Goldberg-like collection of a propane crock pot, a thermo-electric (plugin) cooler/heater and a grill. We really had to juggle all these gadgets, in the light rain, just to fit them into our car and later to fit them onto a table so we could get ready to serve our guests.

My Web site has a 1954 photo of a tailgate picnic at Colgate University. The folks in that picture had a picnic basket and a thermos bottle. They had no need for a crock pot or thermoelectric cooler/heater even if these were invented back then. Maybe we would have been better served, considering the weather, if we had prepared like those folks in that 58-year-old photo. Sometimes we “progress” so much that we create more work for ourselves.

Here’s a great chicken noodle soup recipe for your cold weather tailgate party.

Ingredients: 8 cups chicken stock; 2 skinless chicken thighs w/ bones in and 1 skinless chicken breast half w/ bones in; 2 cups sliced carrots; 2 cups sliced celery; 1 cup chopped onion; 6 ounces uncooked egg noodles; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper Preparation: 1. Combine the chicken and stock in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer the ingredients for 20 minutes.

Remove the chicken from pan and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove chicken from bones and then cut into bite-sized pieces. Discard bones. 2. Add the carrots, celery, and onions to the pan. Cover the mixture (without chicken) and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Add noodles/pasta, and let it simmer for 6 minutes.

Add chicken, salt, and black pepper; cook for 2 minutes or until noodles are done.

Lift that brow? It's possible Commentary by Barry Eppley Q: I am a 40 year-old-male and my eyebrows are bothering me. I have read that they can be lifted by opening the upper eyelid and putting in some device to lift them. Do you think that it can resolve my problem or do you have another suggestion for me?

Perhaps a mid-forehead lift will lift my brows and then you can even take the excess skin that I have in my forehead out. I have two very deep, long wrinkles in my forehead that you can use. I know that there will be scars even inside the wrinkles but I am willing to correct a problem that is bothering me and accept scars that I can treat later with laser. I want to lift my brows so there has to be some way to do it for me.

A: As for browlifting in young men, there is never a completely satisfactory solution. The endotine device to which you refer is placed through an eyelid incision but only lifts the male brow slightly. Whether the amount of lifting that can be achieved, which is just the middle to outer brow area, is enough should be considered carefully before surgery. No scar across the forehead would ever be acceptable in any male but an older one who already has deep horizontal forehead wrinkles may not be bothered. A mid-forehead or direct browlift is a major concern in younger men where the trade-offs for doing something are worse than the original problem. Male browlifting is a challenging issue, particularly in the younger patient. The endotine device approach is the only browlift option I would consider at your age.

Fiscal Cliff = Tax-Rate Increases + New Taxes Commentary by Kevin O'Connell There is major uncertainty over federal tax policy.

Effective Jan. 1, the individual income tax rates, without further Congressional action, are scheduled to increase across the board.

Consider: • The top marginal rate jumping from 35 percent to 39.6 percent.

• The current 10-percent rate for low-income taxpayers will expire and be replaced by a 15-percent rate.

• Even tax-rate relief afforded married taxpayers will expire.

• The current top marginal tax rate on capital gains and dividends of 15 percent is scheduled to expire. The tax rate on dividends could increase by as much as 286 percent, from 15percent to more than 43 percent.

• Higher-income taxpayers also will be subject to limitations on itemized deductions and personal exemptions.

• Millions of middle-income taxpayers will be liable for the alternative minimum tax because of expiration of the “AMT Patch.”

• Many other incentives for individuals will either disappear or be substantially reduced in the new year.

While Congress may still act to prevent some

or all of these tax increases, the likelihood of action with a lame-duck Congress diminishes each day.

In addition to the tax-rate increases on individual payers, there are a number of new taxes that kick in for 2013: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, imposes an additional .9 percent Medicare tax on wages and self-employment income and 3.8-percent Medicare contribution tax. The 3.8-percent Medicare contribution tax will apply beginning in 2013 tax year for single individuals with a modified adjusting gross income in excess of $200,000 and married taxpayers with an MAGI in excess of $250,000. MAGI, for purposes of the Medicare contribution tax includes wages, salaries, tips, and other compensation, dividends and interest income, business and farm income, realized capital gains, and income from a variety of other passive activities and certain foreign earned income. For individuals liable for the tax, the amount of tax owed will be equal to 3.8 percent multiplied by the lesser of (1) net investment income or (2) the amount by which their MAGI exceeds the $200,000/$250,000 thresholds. Also, PPACA will limit contributions to flexible spending arrangements to $2,500 for the tax year.

Some traditional year-end tax planning tech-

niques should be considered along with some variations on those strategies. Instead of accelerating deductions by payment before Dec. 31, taxpayers may want to postpone the payment until after Jan.1, when tax rates are higher.

Think the opposite for income.

Accelerate receipt of income in 2012 because the tax rates are lower. Another valuable yearend strategy is to “run the numbers” for regular tax liability and AMT liability. Taxpayers may want to explore if certain deductions should be more evenly divided between 2012 and 2013, and which deductions may qualify, or will not be as valuable, for AMT purposes.

Lastly, for all workers in the private sector, rich and poor, the current 2-percent payroll tax holiday is scheduled to expire after 2012 without any further extension by Congress. All private-sector workers will feel this immediate pay cut in their first paycheck on wages earned after Jan.1.

The good news: The State of Indiana income tax rates remain unchanged.

Martial arts center teaches bullying and predator prevention skills

By Nancy Edwards • editorial@youarecurrent.com

A new martial arts center is teaching kids how to avoid being victims of bullying and predators.

PRO Martial Arts, located at 8962 E. 96th St., opened its doors to the public on Nov. 17.

The grand opening gave attendees an introduction to learn about the types of classes the center provides and an opportunity for kids to practice some new skills such as board-breaking.

Jason Pulliam, owner of PRO Martial Arts, said he and his wife were looking to open a business in the local area and decided to open a martial arts center. “Once we started learning about this (business opportunity) we thought this could do really well for kids.”

The PRO Martial Arts Armor program offers 12 weekly lessons on bullying prevention and 12 separate lessons on predator prevention.

“Three out of four kids have witnessed bullying or have been bullied,” Pulliam said.

The bullying prevention program teaches students how to recognize bullies and avoid become a victim, how they can increase their self-confidence, set and respect personal boundaries and to be assertive when asking for help. In addition, students will learn the characteristics of bullying, red flags

to look for, and how to avoid cyberbullying.

Pulliam said that he is seeing an increased level of cyberbullying.

The predator prevention program teaches students about the importance of listening to their instincts, how to look for strange and inappropriate behavior in adults, and why they should always tell a trusted adult how they feel.

In addition, they are taught about good communication skills between parents and children and online safety and rules for families.

Martial arts defensive skills are taught as a last resort for victims of bullying.

Grandmaster Ed Samane, CEO of PRO Martial Arts, said that the most precious aspect of what is taught in the Armor program is building up a child’s self-esteem and confidence.

All instructors teaching classes have seventhto eighth-degree blackbelts. Adult classes currently offered include fitness kickboxing and karate. The center is also open to adding a yoga class if there is enough interest in the community. The curriculum of Korean arts includes Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido.

For more information about the center or to schedule a class, call 913-9139 or go online to promartialarts.com/fishers.

Grammar Guy

A visit to the Taj

Me, myself and I

Grammar guy by Jordan Fischer

Question: I doubt this is of general interest, but I believe I continue to hear the incorrect use of the word myself. An example would be, “My son and myself attended the basketball game.” The correct sentence would be, “My son and I attended the basketball game.” Could you please clarify what the correct use of this personal pronoun is?

Answer: I’m happy to jump in on this one. It’s a mistake I often hear myself.

(Boy, am I clever?)

Myself is a reflexive pronoun. Along with other reflexive pronouns like himself, herself, ourselves and yourself, myself is used to refer to a previous word in the sentence. In the case of myself, it’s the word I. Reflexive pronouns are most commonly seen in two cases: when the subject and object are the same person or thing (including objects of prepositional phrases) and as intensive pronouns. You saw an example of the latter in my opening paragraph.

How about some examples for the good of the order, then? Our reader’s question correctly points out an incorrect usage of myself: “My son and myself attended the

basketball game.” It is incorrect because the reflexive pronoun has nothing to refer to. The correct word to use in that sentence would be the subject pronoun I. Fortunately, we are masters of grammar, so I think we can salvage this. When I was in high school, no basketball game was complete without a bag (or two) of oh-so-salty popcorn. So let’s get ourselves a snack, and redeem that reflexive pronoun in the process: “I bought some popcorn for my son and myself at the basketball game.”

Now, the subject of the sentence is I, and the objects are the son and the speaker, bringing myself back in play. We could even just say, “I bought some popcorn for myself ” – but, you know, sharing is caring.

To wrap it all up, if you think myself might be appropriate, take a look back at the rest of the sentence. Have you already used the word I? Are you talking about or trying to emphasize something you’re doing? If so, myself could be called for. If not, the word you’re probably looking for is me.

Commentary by Annie Rogers

Hanging on my wall are beautifully embroidered tapestries of the Taj Mahal. They are mounted under glass and lovingly framed in tribute to my deceased grandfather, who flew the Burma Hump as an Army medic in WWII. During his service, nothing captivated him more than his visit to the Taj, and these tapestries were carried home as a gift to my grandmother.

The grand marble mausoleum was completed in 1653, under the orders of Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Grief-stricken at her loss, he employed thousands of artisans and craftsmen to pay tribute and construct her final resting place. As the most magnificent example of Moghul architecture, which combines elements from Persian, Ottoman, Turkish and Indian architectural styles, it is a Unesco world heritage site.

Getting to Agra in India to see the Taj is not an easy feat. The closest airport is for military use only, forcing international visitors to fly into Delhi. From there, it is a three- to five-hour car ride or a more adventurous Indian train trip.

Once there, it is highly suggested you spend at least one night. Luxury hotels like Oberoi Amarvillas Agra and ITC Mughal have sprung up, offering fabulous views of the Taj and making a longer stay enviable. Boasting opulent splendor, meticulously manicured gardens and fountains with few rivals, they have become destinations in and of themselves.

I visited India shortly before my grandfather passed. Although I never made it to the Taj, I brought him home a white marble replica I picked up in Chennai. He kept it on a shelf, and every time I visited, he recounted his fascination at the monument. I want to go to India again. I long to gaze upon the Taj with my papaw’s eyes and bring him back to me in spirit, if even briefly, to stand beside me and marvel at the wonder of all he saw and then, as the sun sets, to contentedly release him again back home with the immortal words carved on the Great Gate that Shah Jahan wept for Mumtaz Mahal: “O Soul, thou art at rest. Return to the Lord at peace with Him, and He at peace with you.”

Snowman pops

Commentary by Ashley Phipps

With Halloween and Thanksgiving behind us, we are only a few short weeks away from Christmas and Hanukah! It is always such a busy time of year, but it is also one of my favorite times of year!

One thing that always seems to keep me busy is baking. Besides the typical holiday baking, it seems inevitable that I am asked to bring treats to several gatherings or school events. I never mind doing that, but sometimes I need a simple recipe that looks really great, but doesn’t take a lot of work … or even an oven to create!

So today I want to show you how to make some really cute, really simple snowman pops – no baking involved!

Snowman pops Yield: 1 snowman pop Ingredients: • (1) long lollipop stick • (3) mini powdered donuts • (6) mini chocolate chips • (1) candy corn (many grocery stores carry these all year long in their candy aisle) • (1) straw candy • (2) M&M’s or similar candy • White icing (from a can is fine) Directions: 1. Carefully insert the lollipop stick into all 3 mini donuts. Be careful and go slow so that the donuts don’t break.

2. Carefully tie the candy straw in between the first and second mini donut to create a scarf.

3. Using icing, attach the mini chocolate chips as the eyes and mouth.

4. Using icing, secure the candy corn in the

hole of the top mini donut for the nose.

5. Using icing, add the M&M’s into the holes of the second and third donuts for buttons.

You can get as creative as you like, use different candies and vary your colors! This is also a really fun kid activity for those cold winter months when it is too cold to go outside! Plus, it’s fun to eat after you are done creating them!

“Current. It really works.”

"Our business has picked up incredibly since we resumed advertising in Current. I walk around the dining room and ask my customers how they discovered Kincaid's, and almost every one of them said, 'Current.' It really works."

Indoors

Removing garden tub in master bath remodel

Commentary by Larry Greene

Original bathroom with a view: This home was built in 1998 in Plum Creek Village subdivision on the east side of Carmel. The current owners are the second owner of the home, which backs up to Plum Creek Golf Course with a beautiful view from the master bedroom.

Why remodel: According to the owner, “The number one reason was to get rid of the garden tub, as we had no need for it. We wanted to update the bathroom, giving it a warmer feel.

We also wanted to enlarge the shower.”

Design phase: “The designers helped us figure out what we could do with the bathroom and how to get the look we wanted. We did not have a design in mind, but once we saw the arch design, we knew that was for us. We had thought about flipping the shower area and the toilet area, but it was too costly.”

Vanity details: Favorite part: “The vanity is my favorite part. I like the openness and flow of it, with one large continuous unit. We are trying to not clutter it up with all of our stuff now. We are using the tower cabinets to store items that were on the countertops before. For my husband, the enlarged luxury shower is the favorite.”

Closet details: “The closet was an after-

thought, but we felt that as long as we were doing this beautiful bathroom, we might as well complete it with the closet. It is the same size, but we removed the door and put in an archway. It makes it feel like part of the bathroom now. The closet organizer makes everything

much neater. Everything has a place now.”

Favorite features: The owner commented, “Before the remodel, we had contractor-grade materials in the bathroom. Now it is so much more luxurious. We feel like we have created a tastefully elegant place just for us.”
