Hamilton Southeastern foundation celebrates Giving Tuesday

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com

With the past holiday influencing the idea of thankfulness during Thanksgiving, followed by two days to incentivize shopping for deals during fundraiser national and local retailer promotions, the idea of giving back may seem overdue. For the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation, celebrating Giving Tuesday on Dec. 1 to benefit the local school district made perfect sense.

Giving Tuesday is an international day where businesses, families, individuals, charities, organizations and more celebrate the spirit of giving back through donations. According to givingtuesday.org, more than 30,000 partners in 68 countries participate in the annual tradition, including the HSSF. “At it’s heart, we have become a very commercial society and this time of year we certainly take a day to give thanks on Thanksgiving, then followed by Black Friday and Small Business Saturday and then Cyber Monday,” Executive Director of HSSF Freedom Kolb said. “This is a way to say, ‘Let’s restore what’s important to our community in a season of giving instead of a season of getting.’”

This year will mark HSSF’s second year advocating Giving Tuesday locally with last year raising more than $20,000 in a single day for HSSF, an organization serving Hamilton Southeastern Schools by providing grants, student scholarships and other unique opportunities.

“Really, Giving Tuesday is a global initiative, but up until last year you didn’t really see a lot of local effort,” Kolb said. “The whole concept behind it is to activate local communities to give locally. We thought there really is not a bigger cause that unites Fishers other than education because our schools are our second largest employer. (We enroll) 21,000 kids and we’re fourth largest (district) in the state.”

Titled as #HSSFUnselfie for use with social media, this years campaign marks a unique experience as several donors have already come together to kick-

start the fundraising initiative by pledging $18,000 through HSSF’s Rise to the Challenge goal. That means for every dollar donated on Giving Tuesday, will be doubled to total of $18,000.

“The goal with the Rise to the Challenge group was basically to extend the impact of whatever could be raised locally,” Sara Mills Henderson, an HSSF member and mother of two HSE students, said. “It’s sort of treated like a match. We’re trying to inspire people to match the $18,000 that we had already raised. We know we have at least $18,000 so we’re hoping to double it through additional donations through the community at large.”

With typical school donations, donors can choose where their donations go, but with Giving Tuesday donations, the funds go directly to the foundation.

“Typically if somebody gives a donation, a lot of those funds are directed exactly where they want them to go,” HSSF Board Member Susan Binford said.

“These funds for Giving Tuesday allow us as a foundation to fund interesting, creative projects that we typically can’t do through our standard donations.

That’s what’s really important about Giving Tuesday is those unrestricted funds that really fuel the creativity of the foundation.”

The funds donated will be used for various programs that directly impact all Hamilton Southeastern schools such as scholarships.

“The foundation is so good because everything that you give is staying local; staying in Fishers and having a positive impact on, really, the future on our community,” HSE School Board President John DeLucia said. “Big drivers of the foundation are innovative ideas, scholarships for students and then grants for teachers, and they do it very well. That’s what really helps make the school community so dynamic. You can’t always do that as an entire corporation.”

The Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation will be accepting donations as part of the Rise to the Challenge campaign all day on Dec. 1. To learn more, visit hsefoundation.org/

“Where’s Amy?” … assuming the role of gangster ‘Al Cologne’ at a murder mystery dinner held at the beautiful Coxhill Mansion in Carmel. The Coxhill Guild held a sold-out fundraiser for the Friends of the Hamilton Co. Parks Coxhill Gardens which included a tour, four-course dinner where guests tried to solve a murder and a chance to compete in England. Karin Glass, owner of Serenity Cafe and Tea Room in Zionsville, Sharon Terry, founder of the Coxhill Guild, and dedicated Coxhill Guild members organized a night full of murder, mayhem and moonshine … or shall I say a well-stocked “Wine Pull” that kept the dinner guests happy? I met new friends from all zip codes of Current including a few rowdy flapper girls from Fishers and Geist. These energetic flapper girls were part of a mom’s group and said it was their night to dress up and have a rockin’ GNO. Each table of eight had to solve a murder with a few sneaky clues and a cleverly crafted script. After dinner, the table as a group had to figure out who was the murderer. The table that came up with the correct person was then entered into a drawing that would send two lucky players (and a guest) to England to attend an official Murder Mystery Dinner in a pub.

Jarden receives architecture award

By Jenna Jarosinski news@currentinfishers.com From the outside, Jarden Home Brands in Fishers, 9999 E. 121st St., looks like any other office building. However, recognition this seemingly mundane building contains a modern interior that recently received a statewide Honor Award from the American Institute of Architecture Indiana for its interior architecture design.

“We thought we had been proud of our space before but this recognition took it to another level,” said Devona Coffey, Jarden vice president of human resources.

“As we continue to grow as a company, the significance of this award bolsters our mission to highlight Jarden Home Brands not just as a great place for our employees to work, but also for candidates for current and future positions with us.”

The project was one of 14 awards presented during the American Institute of Architects Indiana at the Ohio Valley Regional Convention in Columbus, Ohio.

AXIS Architecture + Interiors was responsible for the design of the office space. Kathleen Lemaster, head creative designer for

the project, said the goal of the project was to transform the interior into an office space that encouraged “collaboration, creativity and innovative thinking.” Lemaster said her favorite aspect of the space was the combination of “honest materials,” such as wood, glass and steel and the bright colors and unique shapes that really brought the space to life.

“The selected design perfectly captured our spirit and resulted in an incredible 82 percent of our staff telling us that our working environment has improved compared to what we had before,” Coffey said.

YMI to host Dec. fundraiser

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com When it comes to helping out students in the local community, the Youth Metoring Initiative of Fishers is taking donation strides to raise money for its programming to help struggling young teens. In honor of Giving Tuesday, YMI will be hosting a month-long fundraiser starting Dec. 1 to raise funds to help provide youth mentors for 50 more students during 2016.

“This is our first year doing the campaign,” said YMI Director of Community Engagement Darren Heil. Our goal, starting Dec. 1 through the month, we would like to raise $25,000 which will help us impact another 50 student lives. We will be able to provide them a mentor for the first semester of the school year in 2016. That’s about $500 per match. That helps us continue what we are setting out to do.”

According to recent studies conducted

by YMI, the company found that of 45 high school students who had a mentor, 91 percent reported being more willing to take personal responsibility for their actions, 76 percent reported having a better understanding of their purpose and 76 percent said they feel better about themselves.

Mentor Thomas Blount, right, works with a Fishers High School student. (Submitted photo)

“As this is growing it is becoming less and less about the mentoring program and more about a community initiative,” Heil said. “We have set something in motion that is really easy for people to be involved in. All our members are from the community, either business owners or salesmen or stay-at-home moms. Anyone who can take an hour out of their week. It really is becoming a Fishers initiative.”

YMI also will host a special online local celebrity Q&A on Dec. 1. For more or to donate, visit ymionline.org.

The group rehearses on Sunday evenings at 6 p.m. at Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy. They will perform a holiday concert at 6 p.m. Dec. 5 at Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy. The group has hopes to perform in other areas within Fishers as well.

“We’ve already talked about performing in some of the retirement villages here in the Fishers area just as a way to get out, sing and share the love of music with the folks

who can’t really get around as much as they wish they could,” Feeney said.

He said he hopes the group expands in the next year. The group is not only looking for singers but for members of the community who would like to help on the administrative side.

“Obviously, we want singers first, but as the group gets larger, we’re going to have some folks who want to help with that kind of thing. As the end of 2015 hits, I believe we’ll have 50 or more members. I believe by the time we have our one year anniversary, we’ll be 100 strong,” Feeney said.

Some thoughts while still in recovery mode from overdoses of turkey and football: • A reader writes: “Are you going to summarize/critique the Democrat debates as you did with the Republicans? Probably not.

Current is not the publication to help an electorate make an unbiased informed decision.” Actually, we lost track of the first Democrat debate after it was decided that everything sounded like “four more years of Obama.” The rhetoric on that side of the aisle is as troubling as that of the Republicans. Third party, please?

• The wailing and gnashing of teeth you hear is that of the GOP leadership, which also has to be shaking in its collective boots, what with Donald Trump (R-Billions) a clear favorite in New Hampshire. Trump, who is so far ahead at this writing, even draws support from lower-income white Democrats and liberal independents, all of which seem to have been reeled in by his pointed remarks on trade and immigration.

• Just to our east, over in Piketon, Ohio, there is a soon-to-be-shuttered uranium enrichment plant. Anxiety is heightening around the globe, and the Iran nuclear agreement allows for 6,000 uraniumenrichment centrifuges, but the Obama administration is cutting off weapons capabilities? U.S. Rep Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) agree wholeheartedly that the move is a threat to our national security - to speak nothing of the ability to fuel our aircraft carriers and submarines. The Department of Energy needs to be thoroughly evaluated, and the leadership needs to be swept out.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Leading the way

Commentary by Terry Anker

Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi was once quoted as saying, “There goes my people.

I must follow them, for I am their leader.”

Does he have it right? Can we lead from behind? Many, perhaps even most, believe that leaders, elected and otherwise, should be out-in-front showing us, the unwashed plebian masses the road to enlightenment and redemption.

In the 1970s film, “The Poseidon Adventure,” a decaying cruise ship taking its final voyage, before being sent to the scrapyards, is hit by a rogue wave and capsized. As the surviving passengers scramble to find their way to the bottom of the boat (which is now the top), they cleave into two separate groups – one led by a cop portrayed by Ernest Borgnine and the other led by a Reverend in the form of Gene Hackman. Along the way, there is much drama, explosion and crisis. But the patterns of leadership are clearly cut.

At one critical juncture, the aging Hollywood actress Shelly Winters, as Belle

Rosen, a one-time Olympian, decides to dive in and swim through the oily and jagged debris inside the sinking ship to rescue another member of their group. Her husband Manny knew she would not likely survive the attempt and begged her not.

Each showed leadership: one passively, others by getting out front and taking charge, and finally, another through extreme personal sacrifice. So which has a lock on the best way to lead? Is it possible they are they all right? Can someone be Gandhi in one circumstance and then drag his fellow passengers through a fiery, watery abyss the next?

Do “the people” lead the leaders or do the leaders lead the people? Perhaps, it is the intention of the leader and the need of the people that should lead the way.

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K The best thing about tomorrow is that it comes one day at a time.

– Abraham Lincoln

I received an interesting email yesterday from a reader who doesn’t want to read my work but feels compelled to humor do so every week. (Apparently, I’m a sucky writer, and he likes to check for any improvement.) He stated my columns resemble a sixth-grader’s diary entries and asked why my editors categorize “such drivel” as “commentary.” So here is my bi-annual disclosure column. Enjoy! Or don’t.

Whatevs.

Let’s address the issues in reverse order, shall we? First up, my classification. Because I generally “comment” on my daughters’ inherent desires to see me on blood pressure meds, my columns are labeled “commentary.”

Even when I discuss the obscene amount of time I spend driving the same 10 miles back and forth to dance, tae kwon do and color guard, I’m technically still “commenting.” I rarely address politics, religion or world affairs because I can only focus on so many things at once, and keeping my children alive and off Xbox demands my full attention these days. It’s called a commentary on life, sir. Deal with it.

As for the diary-like style I typically employ, I fail to see the problem. The best way to communicate with people is face to face, through something called “talking,” and since I can’t actually meet with my millions (sorry, millions minus one) of fans in person, I find that writing like I speak is the next best thing. In actuality, my weekly column is a journal entry. But instead of “Dear Diary,” it’s “Dear Fellow Suburban Hunting Widow” or, in this case, “Dear Grumpy Reader!”

This leads me to the last concern, the accusation that my work isn’t quite up to Pulitzer standards. Fair enough. I have no degree in journalism or in creative writing, and as stated above, I write like I speak, grammar and spelling be damned. What you call drivel though, I call “relatability.” It’s why most Hoosiers like me. I’m not here to change the world, just to relay observations on surviving middle age and defending against teenage body odor.

That was fun! Let’s do it again in June.

Peace out.

Enjoying a little Guinness Commentary by Dick Wolfsie What’s the longest known chest hair? The heaviest pumpkin on record? Or the longest time a person ever whistled? humor See a list of these superlatives by reading the newest edition of the Guinness World Records Book. I skimmed the entire 250 pages in three minutes, 6.8 seconds, which I am told gets me in the next edition.

Here are some actual categories along with a few snide asides by me…

The unluckiest man in the world is Ray Sullivan, who survived seven separate lightning strikes. Ray says he won’t buy a lottery ticket because he doesn’t like his chances.

Ben Pridmore of the UK memorized 884 playing cards in a row. He actually set the record two years ago but wasn’t in last year’s edition because he forgot to mail in his entry fee.

Roger Squires of England has compiled nearly 80,000 crossword puzzles in 50 years.

Asked why he developed this passion, Squires said, “Not a clue.”

Devandra Suthar of India has 14 fingers, evenly divided between his right and left hands. Devandra is a carpenter by trade, but

he must not be very good at it because he used to have 16 fingers.

The oldest divorce in history was between two people in England, both over 90 years old.

Said the unhappy couple, “We were waiting for the kids to die.”

The heaviest thing ever pulled by a woman in high heels? Lia Grimanis of Canada lugged a 14,000-pound truck across a football field.

Second place goes to Rosie Frobisher of Peoria who hauled her fat, drunk husband out of a Hooters restaurant.

The oldest living parrot is Cookie, who is 80 years old and lives at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. She’s very sensitive about her age, and when asked about it, she says she’s not talking.

The shortest bull in the world is named Chegs and he lives in Ramona, Calif. The longest bull in the world was a 40-minute speech that Donald Trump gave in Des Moines, Iowa.

IBC’s ‘The Nutcracker’ to feature Boston Ballet dancer

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

The second time around as Sugar Plum Fairy will be even sweeter for Olivia Behrmann in the Indiana Ballet ConChristmas servatory’s production of “The Nutcracker.”

The thing that makes it more special is this time she gets to dance with Lasha Khozashvili, an acclaimed dancer with the Boston Ballet.

“I’m excited,” said Behrmann, who said she should get three or four days before the shows to prepare with Khozashvili.

The IBC will have six performances from Dec. 10-13 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Behrmann, a 17-year-old from Indianapolis, who takes high school classes online so she has time for her ballet, said she should benefit from her return role as Sugar Plum Fairy.

“Now I know what to expect,” said Behrman, who danced with a fellow IBC student last year. “I can watch my performance and know what I should fix or work on.”

Khozashvili will be dancing in the role of the Prince, alongside three IBC Professional Training Program students in the dual role of Princess Masha and the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Along with Behrmann, Julia Rust and Rachel Schultz will play the dual role and dance with Khozaskvili.

IBC founding artistic director Aloyona Yakovleva-Randall said it’s a great opportunity for Behrmann and other girls to dance with Khozaskvili.

“She is going to dance with one of the most talented male dancers in the world, according to Dance Magazine,” Yakovelva-Randall said.

“He’s the principal dancer with Boston Ballet.

IBC contemporary choreographer and instructor Sergey Sergiev as Herr Drosselmeier and Connor Hamilton as Masha dance in “The Nutcracker” in 2014.

To get that experience with a dancer like that, it’s another level of education.”

This will be Khozashvili’s fifth appearance in IBC’s sixth annual production of “The Nutcracker.”

“He really enjoys this production,” Yakovleva-Randall said. “He trusts us.”

Last year was the first time Khozashvili danced with one of IBC students.

“Before he danced with a professional guest dancer,” Yakovleva-Randall said.

Yakovleva-Randall based this on 1934 choreography of Vasily Vainonen. Yakovleva-Randall said this is the closest to the original version that debuted in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1892.

“They (cast members) love it. It’s very

sweet,” Yakovleva-Randall said. “It’s about a girl who has a really good heart. She opens her heart to a little, ugly Nutcracker doll because no one wants to play with it but her.

Because of her kindness, the Nutcracker becomes a handsome prince. He invites her to his world where everything is sweet and where all children’s dreams come true. It’s a story of being kind to each other. It’s because of who you are miracles are going to happen.

It’s a great tradition of Christmas.

“I love to see the progression to see the evolution of the students in the roles (through the years). They develop as professional dancers.”

The Holiday Entrée — A Celebration Unto Itself

Current in Fishers

www.currentinfishers.com

Planning your holiday dinner? Cooking up a festive feast? Visit the Expert Butchers in our Fresh Meat Department for cuts both traditional and exceptional — entrées that rise to the call of the heralded holiday meal.

Pork Crown Roast — A Celebratory Center Plate Pick

Regal. This is the word that immediately comes to mind when one brings a crown roast to the holiday table. It’s all about presentation and that’s where our Butchers come in.

A crown roast is formed when two racks of pork ribs are joined in a circle with kitchen twine. Then, the bones are artistically French cut and cracked so they can be bent into a crown shape. It can be a royal pain, but is a cinch for our artisan Butchers. Simply call and place your order 24 hours in advance. We guarantee that your holiday dinner will reign supreme!

More Excellent Holiday Entrées from Our Expert Butchers

• Certified Angus Beef ® Standing Rib Roast — Top-quality, juicy, tender in Prime or Choice cuts with exceptional marbling — flavor that distinguishes the holiday meal.

• Market District Authentic Semi-Boneless Ham — Fresh, whole-muscle ham that is never frozen, with no water or “padding” added to increase weight. Our hams are then smoked with fresh-cut, natural sugar maple hardwood chips — no smoke flavor substitutes — for an authentic, traditional, pure ham flavor.

• Nature’s Basket Turkey — Tender, juicy and all natural — a beautiful bird for family and friends alike, containing nothing artificial and no added hormones.

• Rack of Lamb — Also known as carré d’agneau, this lamb is cut perpendicularly to the spine, including 16 ribs or chops. As beautiful as it is delicious.

• Pork or Beef Tenderloins — Like the name suggests, these are extremely tender cuts of meat that make the holiday meal truly special. So juicy, so flavorful, so what you want when the meal is to be magic!

The Holidays — All They’re Baked Up to Be

When it comes to holiday treats, our Bakers are rolling up their sleeves and rolling out the best! From our signature, all-butter cookies to our classic holiday specialties (think yule logs and eggnog cake and gingerbread!). Add to that, the decorative delight of our Pastry Case (all nostalgic frost and frosting), and our Bakery is every bite, a holiday delight!

Bread for Celebrating

While you’re in our Bakery, don’t forget to stop by our Bread Board where you will find a loaf to complement and complete your holiday meal — everything from housemade Honey Butter Buns and Brioche to Pecan raisin and classic, artisan Italian and French loaves. Choose your favorite to bring as a hostess gift with one of our dipping oils and try our lovely Boules to hollow out for dips!

Southwestern chili con carne Commentary by Ceci Martinez

HANDEL’S MESSIAH

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, 7:30PM WITH THE INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONIC CHOIR The greatest story ever told. The most majestic music ever conceived. This is the Messiah of the season, performed by your Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra along with the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir. It is music’s most powerful message of faith.

Every year my boy’s elementary school in California hosted a carnival with rides, talent shows, and among other things a famous chili contest. For three consecutive years, the same family took home the trophy for the “Tastiest Ever” chili! The recipe was classified as “TOP SECRET.” My mission became to recreate this tasty meal as close as the winning family’s! Over the years I’ve tried many different recipes and variations. My toughest critiques, my boys and husband officially awarded a medal to this dish! Note: Serve warm chili with plain rice with a spoon of sour cream or pile it on tortilla chips and sprinkle with shredded cheese or with cornbread.

Prep/cook time: about 45 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 green bell pepper, large diced, 1 red bell pepper, large diced, 1/2 red onion, large diced, 2 cloves of garlic, minced, 2 1/2 pounds ground chuck, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 3 tablespoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste, 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed (optional), 2 table-

spoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves Directions: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook onions until soft and translucent, add garlic, peppers until slightly tender. In the same pot, brown meat breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add spices, sugar and mix all well. Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste and beans, give it a good stir, put a lid on the pot and turn down the heat to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If sauce is drying out add a couple of tablespoons of water. Sauce should look thick, moist and juicy. Taste for seasoning. Turn off the heat and leave chili to stand for about 10 minutes before serving so flavors can blend.

Free fun at ‘Harmony’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com What better way to escape from those occasionally chilly fall days than relaxing with fine wine, good muentertainment sic and free hot food.

Kevin Croak, who owns Fishers’ Harmony Winery, 7350 Village Square Lane, Suite 200, with his wife Tatyana, can’t think of any better way.

“We wanted to give people a place to relax, enjoy a glass of wine and sit by the fireplace,” Croak said. “We get something going in the slow cooker for them, either chili, soup or beef stew, something hot when it’s cold out.”

Harmony Winery’s new fall music weekend festival series started in October and will run through December.

Croak said the live entertainment is usually from 8 to 11 p.m. on Fridays, from either 2 to 5 p.m. or 8 to 11 p.m. on Saturdays and 2 to 5 p.m. on Sundays. There is no cover charge.

Croak said it is usually on two days over the weekend, depending on the days he can arrange the performers.

“My wife and I decided to invest some money to do it and see what the return is going to be,” Croak said. “When you have a new venture, you have to do it consistently so

people get used to it.”

Some of the entertainers who have performed so far, and are expected back this month, are Ryan Noblett, Trace and Tim Nolan.

A group called Less is More is due in December to do a Christmas show.

Croak, whose Harmony Winery opened in 2011, said they have been doing karaoke the second and fourth Friday of the month for the last two years.

“People like it because it’s a small venue and they get to sing more than if they go to any of the larger clubs,” Croak said. “Generally they get to sing anywhere from four or five times in the rotation.”

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Mark Twain said, “Never put off till tomorrow what may be done the day after tomorrow just as well.” We say you’ll forget things the longer you procrastinate about writing them down. So after the last bratwurst is slathered in mustard and the last buffalo wing is enjoyed, it’s time for reflection on the season with its successes, failures and obvious places to make improvements. If you haven’t kept a notebook as the season went along, today is a good day to try to remember things from this season. Here is a simple check list: • What items of equipment do you need for next year? Remember tailgating/camping equipment goes on sale this time of year.

• What equipment that you have needs repair or replacement?

• What recipes were successful this year and what were not?

• What was the worst tailgating experience this season, and what was the best? Why? • Be honest and ask yourself, “What internal promises have I made to myself this season?”

Since you and your companions/family will be out shopping for Christmas and those needed tailgate items while they are on sale, you may want to prepare some old favorite Christmas treat recipes to enjoy on your shopping quest. If you like these treats you can make some more as gifts for times closer to Christmas Eve. Easy Fudge Recipe Ingredients: • 4 cups miniature marshmallows • 2/3 cup evaporated milk • 1/4 cup butter or margarine

Easy fudge is an old Christmas-time treat that works for tailgates. (Submitted photo)

• 1 1/2 cup sugar • 1/4 tsp. salt • 12 oz. semisweet chocolate pieces • 1 tsp. vanilla extract • 1/2 cup chopped nuts Preparation: Combine marshmallows, milk, butter, sugar and salt in saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture comes to full boil. Boil five minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and add chocolate pieces, beating until melted. Do not over beat, fold in vanilla and nuts, and pour into greased 9-inch square pan. Chill until firm. This will make 2 1/2 pounds.

Battle plan for sibling rivalry

Commentary by Mary Ian McAteer, MD

While sibling relationships can bring lifelong joy, parents of more than one child often encounter challenges. And because family relationships and families are unique, there are no hard and fast rules for dealing with discord among children. It’s generally helpful for parents to acknowledge that there will be times when siblings don’t get along. This is quite normal.

There’s also likely to be continuing competition for limited resources, especially parents’ attention. This can be further complicated in blended families. On the upside, there are some universal strategies to make things easier: Recognize and honor each child’s personality. Children’s unique personalities make them who they are and while endearing, individual personalities can clash, upsetting the harmony between siblings. Troubleshooting this tension requires parents to be mindful of their children’s differences and resist using a one-size-fits-all approach to correct behaviors.

Model desired behavior. Parents are always the leaders for modeling how to communicate.

If they see parents treating others respectfully, there’s a greater chance they will choose to

solve disagreements in a similar manner.

Set boundaries. Parents should establish firm ground rules for the family when arguments or disagreements arise. Taking turns during the discussion, no name calling and agreeing to take a break if someone becomes angry are guidelines that can help promote civility.

Resist the urge to “solve” it. Children won’t learn how to settle disagreements independently without practice, and your home is the perfect training ground. Remember, it’s more valuable for children to learn how to resolve disagreements than it is for them to always arrive at equitable solutions. If both children agree to the terms, intervening to make things fair thwarts their progress.

It’s possible for parents to turn moments of sibling rivalry into something positive. If challenges continue, consider talking with your pediatrician or family doctor.

Keeping holiday travel healthy Commentary by Lance Goyke

The holiday season is a great way to connect with friends and family you haven’t seen in a while. But all of that travvitality eling — changing time zones, germs on the plane, hours of sitting, and general life stress — can really take a toll on you.

To minimize jet lag, go to bed and wake up at the same time every day so your body knows when to wake you up. Minimize caffeine and alcohol because these drugs interfere with your daily rhythm.

Airports are where all the germs go to hang out. Keep your body’s defense system strong by eating a vegetable (colorful things), a protein (like chicken, turkey, ground beef or tofu), and a healthy fat (like avocado, olive oil or your favorite nut) at every meal.

Sitting can put a lot of stress on your back and neck. The best medicine here is movement; get up and move around whenever possible. If prolonged sitting is unavoidable, take a deep breath and exhale as much air as you

can. Picture you’re blowing out a 100-candle birthday cake. After that, find and feel your two “sit bones” underneath your butt muscles, letting them sink into the seat. Do the same thing with your back. If you let your seat support you, your back won’t get so tight.

If your family stresses you out — I’m not the only one that happens to, right? — get away for some exercise. Try this short exercise program: 20 bodyweight squats, 10 push ups with your hands on the bed and 10 lunges on each leg. Do that as many times as you can (shoot for at least four). Support yourself with your hands if need be. When you’re done, meditate for 5 minutes to clear your mind. I promise you’ll feel like a new person.

Remember, your oxygen mask goes on first. Take care of yourself, then spread your holiday joy.

Mass transit bus route planned

Doctor starts mobile practice

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com

By Sam Elliott • news@currentinfishers.com

A new at-home medical practice, Good Human Doctors, began seeing patients Oct. 1 in Fishers. The one-man operation is the work of Dr. Kevin Wineinger.

“It‘s a house call medical practice. It‘s something that health care has cropped up in the bigger cities the last couple of years.

It‘s essentially a throwback but also something a little new in that you can provide some services we didn‘t do back in the day. The idea being that when someone is sick or injured the last thing they want to do is get themselves presentable and go out in public. Sometimes it makes sense for the doctor to come to them,” Wineinger said.

One importance difference is the pricing structure. The practice is flat-fee based versus insurance based.

“It‘s not insurance based, so I think that‘s a little different than what people are used to, so it‘s a $50 flat fee. That‘s the cost of most people‘s co-pay for an urgent care visit,” Wineinger said.

Wineinger The practice operates seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. To set up a visit, patients can call 844-459-8840 and ask to speak with Kevin. This will put them in touch with the doctor to set up an appointment. Wineinger can treat a variety of ailments.

“I‘m a family medicine doctor, so I‘m trained to see nearly everything from urgent care to kids to adults to geriatric. I can handle lacerations, broken bones.

I‘m also a primary care doctor. I‘m pretty well trained in taking care of chronic disease like hypertension and diabetes. I think it sets me up to be a jack of all trades,” Wineinger said.

There is a service radius, but Wineinger says he handles those outside the area on a case-by-case basis.

Sean Northup, the assistant director of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization, presented an update on the transportation area’s mass transit plans to community leaders, legislators and transportation industry professionals during the All-County Legislative Breakfast Fall Forum Nov. 13 at The Mansion at Oak Hill in Carmel.

The main topic of Northup’s update was Indy Connect, the region’s initiative of transit plans involving a series of electric bus rapid transit lines — with the first phase of the initial line, which will include bus stations and some road expansions, scheduled to begin construction in the spring of 2017.

“Bus rapid transit has become the state of the art in transportation technology,” Northup said.

“The whole idea with bus rapid transit is that it can mimic all of the characterizations of light rail generally at a fraction of the cost.”

Phase 1 of the system’s first line, the Red Line, aims to open in the fall of 2018 as long as Indy Go — the current mass transit operator of Indianapolis — has its request for 80 percent of the Red Line’s funding through the Federal Transit Administration approved in the spring’s federal budget.

Phase 1 of the Red Line will run from Broad Ripple through central Marion County to the University of

Indianapolis, with approximately 28 stops recommended as buses would arrive at each station every 10 to 15 minutes on average.

“Fifteen minutes is a very, very important threshold because that’s the point when you stop checking a schedule and you just go off the line and jump on the transit when it comes, because it’s coming soon,” Northup said.

The Indy Connect plan would also extend the area’s bus system’s hours of operation from approximately 14 hours per day to about 20 hours per day, running from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m.

Phase 2 would bring the Red Line into Hamilton County, as far north as Grand Park in Westfield, but a tax referendum would need to be approved by voters first to extend the Red Line past Phase 1.

“It seems possible that a referendum could run at least in Marion County in 2016, if not in Hamilton County or portions of Hamilton County as well as maybe portions of Johnson County,” Northup said.

In addition to the Red Line, the Indy Connect plan includes proposals for four other lines — Blue, running along Washington Street from the airport to Cumberland; Purple, running along 38th Street from Lafayette Square to Lawrence; Orange, running from Carmel to U Indy along Keystone; and Green, running from Noblesville to downtown Indianapolis along the old Hoosier Heritage Port Authority rail line.

Aspen Creek Grill now open

Home Security System...

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Mike Bennett is eager for the doors to open at Aspen Creek Grill in Noblesville.

“This will be the first one in dining our backyard, so we’re pretty excited about it,” said Bennett, who is the managing partner of the Noblesville restaurant near Hamilton Town Center.

This will be the fifth Aspen Grill Creek of Fishers-based Ultra Steak, Inc. It started in Louisville, Ky., and there is another in Louisville and two in Texas.

Aspen Creek Grill opened at 13489 Tegler Dr. Nov. 16.

“On those (VIP) nights, we donate our tips and a portion of our sales to different charities,” Bennett said. “We always like to give back to the community.”

Bennett said there will be approximately 170 employees.

“I was with another restaurant and had an opportunity to join these guys,” said Bennett, a Fishers resident. “I loved the concept so much. I’ve opened up the last few restaurants, and I’m excited to open up this one. This is where I live, and I’ll stay here.

“I think Noblesville is going to be a great fit. We’ll be a unique concept to the area. We’ll bring something kind of different. We noticed

an $850 Value at NO COST to you for parts and activation with only a $99 Customer Installation Charge and the purchase of monthly alarm monitoring services. Terms and conditions below.^

the growth, and we like the town a lot and the people.”

The menu will offer a large variety, including steak, pork dinners, pizzas, seafood, chicken, salads and more.

“We’re known for our hand-cut steaks.

We pride ourselves on making everything in house, made from scratch, all the way down to our freshly squeezed margaritas,” he said.

Aspen Creek was acquired by Ultra Steak from Texas Roadhouse in 2014.

The casual restaurant features an atmosphere of a mountain lodge, with rustic barns woods and soft lighting with upbeat classic rock music.

Aspen Creek Grill will be open Monday though Thursday from 4 to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more, visit aspencreekgrill.com.

Sales remain a balancing act Commentary by Jim Litten Central Indiana’s real estate market remains a balancing act between available inventory and sale prices. real estate Sale prices rose 4.3 percent last month compared to October 2014, while active listings declined 7.6 percent. In addition, the nine-county region saw a 15.3 percent dip in pended home sales last month. However, home sales are still up 7 percent for the year.

Mirroring Central Indiana’s trend of few homes on the market and higher sale prices, Hamilton County saw a 6 percent decline in inventory while the average year-to-date sale price for the county climbed 6.4 percent to $277,048.

• In Fishers/Geist, the average year-to-date home sale price rose 3.2 percent compared to this time last year, increasing to $263,050.

• Inventory moved at an even pace in Fishers/Geist in October 2015. Overall, homes sold in 64 days – the same amount of days as this time last year.

• Buyers in Fishers/Geist had fewer options available to them. Last month,

25

527 homes were available for sale – 103 fewer homes compared to October 2014.

• Pended home sales have slipped in Fishers/Geist. In October 2015, 134 homes sold – a decline of 44 homes compared to October 2014.

• Of the pended home sales in Fishers/ Geist last month, eight were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 30 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 38 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 55 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and three were priced at $99,999 or less.

Declines in the fourth quarter of the housing market should be expected, but there are several other factors impacting the overall picture of October. According to the Consumer Confidence Index, we know consumer confidence declined in October, yet Indiana’s job market and average salaries are growing, signaling a promising end to 2015.

I would argue that selecting your sink is one of the most important decisions you will make during home improvement your kitchen remodel. Aside from the purposefulness, your sink can offer a unique design element that you may not have considered. When deciding which sink to install, you must consider many factors.

For instance, how many basins do you want? One large basin allows for prepping large quantities of food or soaking extra large pans.

This option can make it difficult, however, to do several tasks at once. For example, it becomes tricky to wash hands and defrost frozen foods at the same time. If you love a large sink basin but want to be able to divide it when needed, consider purchasing a sink that offers accessories that turn one basin into two.

Aside from the basin size, you must consider what shape and style you prefer. Farmhouse sinks are gaining popularity, mostly for their apron front that offers a vintage look.

They are typically one large basin and are available in a wide variety of colors. However, consider the drawback of this type of sink.

A section of a 2,000-year-old wall is the world’s holiest place for many Jews.

In 19 B.C., Judea’s King Herod travel began building a trapezoidalshaped retaining wall around the plateau on which Jerusalem’s Second Temple stood. Workers filled in the voids, creating a 37-acre paved platform. Herod expanded the temple located near the western wall of this “Temple Mount.” Each Yom Kippur, the High Priest entered the Temple’s Holy of Holies, experiencing the presence of God. In 70 A.D., during the First Jewish Revolt, Roman soldiers demolished Herod’s Temple.

Rabbis advised Jews to shun the Temple Mount to avoid inadvertently encountering the area of the Holy of Holies, so they began praying at the “Western Wall” below. After the Second Jewish Revolt in 135, the Roman Empire banned Jews from Jerusalem. In about 325, Emperor Constantine allowed Jews to lament the loss of their Temple once each year at the Western Wall, which Christian residents disparagingly called the Jews’ “Wailing Wall.”

In 1560, Ottoman Emperor Suleiman allowed Jews to pray at a section of the Western Wall near houses in the Moroccan Quarter.

Question: I need some help here: I see the words “cache” and “cachet” more and more often, and I grammar guy want to make sure I’m using them correctly. Are they interchangeable?

Answer: If there’s a recurring theme in these columns, it’s that words that came to us from French often trip us up. That’s certainly the case here. Let’s see what we can do.

“Cache” is the more likely of the two words for you to be familiar with. It means a “collection of items of the same type stored in a hidden or inaccessible place” – or sometimes just the hiding place itself. It’s also used in computing to refer to a temporary storage space, like your browser cache. Speaking of which … never hurts to clear that out, folks.

“Cachet” you don’t see as much – or at least I don’t. It means a “distinguishing mark

Praying at the Western Wall (Photo by Don Knebel)

In the 1948 war following Israel’s independence, Jordan captured East Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, and barred Jews from the Western Wall. In 1967, Israel gained control of East Jerusalem and razed the Moroccan Quarter, creating a plaza along a section of the Western Wall. A screen now divides the plaza so men and women can pray separately, many by inserting slips of paper between the wall’s massive blocks. How even God can resolve these conflicting claims is not clear.

or seal,” like the kind you might find on an official correspondence. However, these days it’s used more figuratively to mean “the state of being respected or admired; prestige.” For example: Julia would like to make some changes around the office, but she doesn’t have the cachet to accomplish it.

“Cash” is a homophone of “cache.” It makes the world go round and may or may not lead to happiness and/ or all evil. The jury’s out on that one. You could have a cache of cash, I suppose, but your money’s probably better off in a mutual fund.

Then again, I’m a grammar columnist – I wouldn’t look to me for investment advice. Do clear out your browser cache, though. You’ll thank me for it.

If there’s a recurring theme in these columns, it’s that words that came to us from French often trip us up. That’s certainly the case here.
