The follow-up to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rise of the Planet of the Apesâ&#x20AC;? is set 10 years down the road, when humans have mostly died off due to disease and intelligent apes are now the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime species.

Westfield site receives renovations

By Robert Herrington Â&#x201C; a^QTac/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ What started more than a decade ago as a temporary garden of crosses made to honor Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen soldiers in the MEMORIAL front yard of Donald and Carol Peed turned into a permanent memorial at 401 N. Union St., Westfield. The Fallen Hoosier Heroes Memorial for Enduring Freedom, which was created in 2002, is now undergoing another renovation.

The memorial was started by Vietnam Veteran Command Sgt. Major Donald E. Peed after Sept. 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted to go to Iraq,â&#x20AC;? said his wife, Carol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted to be there if the guys needed somebody to talk to. He was told no so he came up with the idea of the crosses.â&#x20AC;?

Carol said the memorial had 66 white crosses when Donald, 67, died from a heart attack caused by the effects of Agent Orange in September 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a very patriotic person,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we put the first cross in the ground we never dreamed it would amount to what it has become.â&#x20AC;?

As a result of the harsh winters and time, Carol said the crosses began to deteriorate and the memorial committee felt it was not a fair honoring of the deceased soldiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some were starting to rot,â&#x20AC;? Carol said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took them down and are trying plaques for now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of work,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Doss, an Air

Force veteran of the Vietnam War. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crosses made a big impact, but I feel just as much of an impact with the stones. It opens it up more.â&#x20AC;?

Doss said the future is uncertain as the memorial committee has a vision to create a unique memorial in a larger area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With 206 kids weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve run out of space. Two hundred and forty-eight have died on duty while serving â&#x20AC;Ś We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see any more die,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to find ground to put it on. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to keep it here in this area.â&#x20AC;?

Local training facility offers youth leadership program

Commentary by State Sen. Jim Merritt

Young Hoosiers need our help. We have had an abnormal amount of youth suicides in central Indiana. It is time to open GOVERNMENT the doors and offer hope to individuals who need it.

Earlier this year, Heartland Intervention founder Scott Watson and I launched a new public awareness campaign highlighting five approaches aimed at preventing teen suicide and saving young lives. One of the five steps was to provide mentorship programs for young Hoosiers.

At-risk youth should be connected with the wide variety of youth mentoring programs available throughout the state of Indiana.

One such program, SPARTA (Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, Training Academy) is an elite training facility in our community known for fitness programs and sports counseling. SPARTA also offers a mentorship program for junior high and high school students.

Participants go through a life-changing 10week course with a focus on personal development and organizational leadership.

The process encourages students to think about important questions like: Â&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who am I?â&#x20AC;? Â&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do I stand for?â&#x20AC;?

Â&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is my purpose?â&#x20AC;? Â&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are my goals?â&#x20AC;? Â&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you a bystander?â&#x20AC;?

SPARTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s I5/C5 training program is putting young people on a path to leadership. Â These teens are finding their purpose and being equipped to not only lead, but to build new leaders.

The main goal of the program is to empower students and provide them with the tools and confidence they need to become young leaders.

As a father of three, I have dedicated myself to helping the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teens and young adults. I could not be more excited about the young leaders coming out of this program who will have a positive impact on their families, peer groups, sports teams and community.

I would like to encourage members of our community to take advantage of SPARTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership program. To contact them for more information, call 842-2933 or visit their website at www.

CARE THAT’S SPREADING FASTER THAN CANCER. Seems cancer has always had the upper hand. But at Community Health Network, we’ve started to paint a brighter picture. Five of our hospitals are now affiliated with MD Anderson Cancer Network®. That means at each of these locations you now have access to the nationally recognized expertise and treatment guidelines of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, which has been ranked in the top two centers in the nation since the U.S. News and World Report “Best Hospitals” survey began 25 years ago.

Mighty impressive. Community now brings that expertise to five of its hospitals in central Indiana. For once, care is spreading faster than cancer. For a referral to a participating physician, call 800.777.7775 or learn more at eCommunity.com/cancercare.

Indoor cycling business opens

By Robert Herrington Â&#x201C; a^QTac/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ During the same month her husband expanded his veterinary clinic, Lisa Herrmann opened a new specialty fitness business in FITNESS Noblesville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a time to start something I had always wanted to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on a whim. I had thought about it for a couple of years. This naturally gave me a push.â&#x20AC;?

As the two simultaneously worked on their separate renovations, they shared the same contractor and workers.

Herrmann said her companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rally.

Rock. Ride. Indoor Cycling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is based on the concept of her business at 14660 Herriman Blvd., Suite 700, Noblesville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to rally people together for motivation and inspiration, rock out to good music and ride using outdoor best practices inside,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Herrmann said she found indoor cycling seven years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big runner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; long distance, marathons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I was injured all the time,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hooked (on cycling) from my first class.â&#x20AC;?

Herrmann went from dedicated participant to instructor and has three certifications since she began teaching four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want every ride to be a quality ride for people. We want to help improve health and fitness and performance in general,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Indoor cycling is similar to outdoor riding, where riders simulate hills, flat land and roads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the safety of no traffic or construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We set the ride to motivational music and instructors lead you on your journey.

Divorce What To Expect: Holiday Parenting Time In Indiana, a majority of parents with existing Court ordered custody and parenting time arrangements stipulate and agree to abide by the terms of the holiday parenting time schedule as put forth in the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, (â&#x20AC;&#x153;IPTGâ&#x20AC;?). In any family law matter, however, the parties need not staunchly follow the IPTG holiday schedule and can agree to a schedule that best suits their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. That individualized schedule can be incorporated into the Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Order. For example, if there are longstanding holiday traditions that the parties wish to keep intact for the children subsequent to their separation, parents will often agree to such specific provisions and/or request the same from the Court when litigating the issue.

The holiday parenting time schedule provided for in the IPTG â&#x20AC;&#x153;equalizesâ&#x20AC;? the holiday parenting time for Mom and Dad over a two year period by alternating half of the holidays each year. The IPTG were recently amended.

One specific amendment was to the implementation of holiday parenting time. Under the former IPTG, holiday parenting time took precedence over the regular parenting time schedule. This often resulted in one parent forfeiting weekend parenting time as it was the other partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday parenting time. In such instances, the former IPTG required that the parties modify the annual schedule to ensure that due to that holiday time, no party received three consecutive weekends of parenting time. Under the

amended IPTG, holiday parenting time continues to take precedence over regular parenting time, however, parties are no longer required to modify the regular schedule for the remainder of the year should either party receive three consecutive weekends of parenting time. Instead, one party may now receive three consecutive weekends. The purpose of this modification was to avoid additional modifications throughout the year and recognizing that over time, the time would equalize.

Be aware, however, that if you have a current order for parenting time, the provisions of the IPTG that were in effect at the time the order was issued is still in force. The amendments do not automatically apply to orders or agreements that were entered beforehand, so the specific version of the IPTG that applies to your situation is important to recognize.

Included in the holiday schedule are â&#x20AC;&#x153;Special Daysâ&#x20AC;? such as parents birthdays, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday, Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day.

Obamacare idea not reality

Commentary by Mike Colaw

I wish Obamacare could work, I really do.

I can’t help it. The dream, as lofty as it is, that everyone could have low-cost medical care really does sound appealing.

HELP I am saying this as a middle-class, registered Republican who also is responsible for over 30 employees through a church and two childcares.

I also represent a family that has been blindsided by the reality of the Affordable Care Act. We lost the coverage we had and wanted to keep. We were also the family who was offered a much more expensive “comparative” plan.

When I looked at the ridiculous price increase, I honestly thought if I knew the money really would directly help poor, destitute families, I would give it! I love the concept; I just don’t trust the system. Taking care of the poor should never be used as political propaganda, yet that’s exactly what has happened.

Here is the huge danger we face: In our frustration with a struggling political system, we may unintentionally hurt real people. People who really do need support, encouragement and even their physical (medical included) needs met. I want to give educational opportunities and medical care to children who have very little hope and resources. I don’t want to enable generational

poverty; I want to empower people to really break free from it. I fully believe it is wrong to turn our backs on those who are truly destitute.

This is what may happen if we become myopic because of the politics.

Yes, I get it. The Affordable Care Act is flawed, but the desire to help those in true need should never be abandoned. If you find yourself like me, torn between good principles and bad politics, let me offer a suggestion.

Don’t let political frustration stop you from loving real people! Be the tangible example of what love should look like. Proactively seek out local organizations that really do help those in need.

Why local? Because you can go see for yourself exactly how your money is being spent. Accountability is much higher.

I pray somebody, someday, can create plans for the health care and immigration problems that actually work economically, but I refuse to turn my back on hurting in the middle of this season of political insanity.

Pull out the old dusty Bible and read James 1:27 and Matthew 25:40.

Impacting lives

Dr. Michael Krausâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; commitment to bettering lives leads to Sagamore of the Wabash award

By Beth Taylor Â&#x201C; QTcW/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\

The annual Celebrating Life Under the Stars Gala to benefit the National Kidney Foundation of Indiana honored Fishers resident Dr. Michael Kraus for his achievements in COVER STORY nephrology. While at the gala, he was surprised to learn that he was also receiving a Sagamore of the Wabash award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sagamore of the Wabash award means a great deal to me because it is for things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done to help take care of patients,â&#x20AC;? said Kraus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the work that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done for patients on home dialysis caught the attention of the governor.â&#x20AC;?

The Sagamore of the Wabash is a civilian honor presented by the governor of Indiana. It is a tribute given to those who have provided distinguished service to the state. State lawmakers can nominate two candidates each year. Kraus was nominated by State Sen. Jean Breaux, who is a past board member of the National Kidney Foundation of Indiana. She presented the award to Dr. Kraus on behalf of Gov. Mike Pence.

Krausâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long career began with an early realization that he wanted to be a doctor. Focusing on nephrology, the medical specialty that focuses on kidney function, appealed to Kraus because he could impact acute conditions and take care of patients for a prolonged period of time.

The desire to make his patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives better is what led to Kraus becoming an advocate for home hemodialysis. In 2004, he was the chief investigator and performed the original study to get the NxStage System One device approved by the Food and Drug Administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Krausâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; early and ongoing support of home hemodialysis has helped ensure that an ever-increasing number of patients can access its life-changing benefits,â&#x20AC;? said Joseph Turk, president of NxStage â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, the NxStage System One is the only portable home hemodialysis system approved by the FDA and we are indebted to Dr. Kraus for his support in helping us pioneer this therapy, including his important work in our initial FDA clinical study. We are thrilled to congratulate him on all of his recognition and to thank him for his commitment to improving the standard of patient care.â&#x20AC;?

The device weighs about 75 pounds, allowing for patients who were spending much time in a dialysis clinic to now self-treat at home or even on vacation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to enjoy life again instead of going from one dialysis appointment to the next,â&#x20AC;? Kraus said.

Kraus looks forward to what is ahead in the field of nephrology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beginning to see smaller devices, transplanting animal kidneys into patients and taking stem cells to make organs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the beginning of the technology when you think about growing kidneys in Petri dishes. Big things are coming. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not science fiction anymore.â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Kraus enjoys traveling nationally and abroad to speak on home dialysis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home dialysis is my passion and nephrologists need to be educated on devices we have today,â&#x20AC;? said Kraus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently about nine out of 10 patients go into a dialysis center, but if you asked 100 nephrologists, 100 percent would want to do home dialysis for themselves. We have to change the thinking so that they want to do that for their patients,â&#x20AC;? said Kraus.

Molly Kraus, his wife of 31 years, enjoyed seeing her husband accepting recognition for his work.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Michael rarely takes compliments or the admiration that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been getting.â&#x20AC;? She said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the National Kidney Foundation said that they were going to honor him, he tried to pass off the honor and downplay his accomplishments.â&#x20AC;?

The Krauses have four adult children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our children are very proud of their fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to bettering his patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives, all four of our children give back in some way.â&#x20AC;?

Kraus thinks that his greatest achievement in medicine is that he worked every day to make his patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives better.

SAGAMORE OF THE WABASH Â&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sagamoreâ&#x20AC;? was a term used by Algonquian-speaking Native American tribes of Indiana to describe a lesser chief or a great man among the tribe whom the chief consulted for wisdom and advice. Â&#x201C; State lawmakers can nominate two candidates per year. Only the governor of Indiana makes the selection. Â&#x201C; No official record exists on how many Sagamore awards have been presented. Â&#x201C; Recipients include astronauts, artists and politicians.

Winter look not so hot

FROM THE BACKSHOP Is it a glitch or just error creep?

Just as we were talking about how the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles had improved tremendously â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even transforming itself into a friendly, easy-to-use outlet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; came the news last week that some drivers have been asked to return some of the dough they were refunded when being overcharged on excise taxes.

Oops! A BMV spokesman said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;human errorâ&#x20AC;? that led to a temporary $60,000 windfall among 254 registered driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license holders.

The money will be returned or recaptured. We all make mistakes and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the end of the world, but after years of improvements under the governorship of Mitch Daniels, glitches have surfaced, including this latest one. The BMV has said it overcharged approximately $29 million in excise taxes. And then there was a class-action lawsuit that claimed the BMV dinged drivers by $30 million to the minus side. Just less than five million Hoosier drivers were refunded $3.50 to $15 apiece in a settlement. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in that group, although the check has yet to arrive. It will. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important is that the mess be cleaned up and in an expedient way. Maybe there needs to be a new set of tighter controls. Remember, that money doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong to state government; it belongs to all of us. True enough, it is distributed to municipalities across the state annually, but errors are errors and they should be contained, if not eliminated, at all costs as it is our dough. So, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the process, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the system? The leadership at the BMV and on up the ladder might want to ask that question. Â&#x201C; Â&#x201C; Â&#x201C; As much as we truly love the season, it has been humorous, really â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even laughable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with respect to the unsolicited national retailer emails we have been getting. They almost all seem to tout â&#x20AC;&#x153;the deal of the holidays,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get better than this,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;the lowest price of the year,â&#x20AC;? etc. And we know well enough that those e-mails will repeat several times â&#x20AC;Ś right up to Dec. 24. For now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just remain amused.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Demanding demands

Commentary by Terry Anker

Black Friday almost has become a holiday in itself. It is easier to find a parking spot at church on Easter Sunday than one at Target during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;shopping season.â&#x20AC;? Retailers register the vast majority of their sales during the period; and many credit it with their very survival. Media routinely report on the travails of our consumerism with many hosting live remotes designed to fuel the frenzy.

Connecticut Democrat State Rep. Matt Lesser again this year is advancing legislation in his state to require that retailers be closed on Thanksgiving Day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; emulating existing laws in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine. One can find the story wedged between reports of where to buy the hottest toys and electronics. Lesser waxes poetic about the plight of employed retailers who are expected to be at their posts early.

His empathy does not extend to those of us in health care, public safety, entertainment, filling station, or other infrastructure roles.

As social mores evolve, we have slowly ac-

cepted as fact the Sunday work day. Retailers that provide the day for observation of religious beliefs (or the NFL) are now imagined to be quaint â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or even as right-wing zealots. In a world where labor is already heavily regulated, does more intervention benefit anyone?

Our collective memories of â&#x20AC;&#x153;over the river and through the woodsâ&#x20AC;? to commune with family on this day custom designed for the purpose may simply be echoes of another time. But has our nostalgia distorted our recall? For me, memories include Thanksgiving starting especially early to get in chores before starting the work of preparing the big meal. Perhaps Lesser should have required that the animals skip a day of feed or that the weather always remain temperate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or arrest the farmers themselves. We could have used a few extra hours of sleep.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men.

° 6T] 6T^aVT ?Pcc^]

As I waited for my dermatologist in nothing but a mauve paper gown and my undergarments, I realized Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sunk to a new low in personal hygiene. Dirt under my fingernails, braid-able leg hair, sandpaper-like knee caps and remnants of two-month-old coral polish on my toes screamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a schtick!â&#x20AC;?

What was wrong with me? Sure it was a Saturday morning and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d already completed several errands by the time I arrived, but even for a busy mom, this was a new low.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be practically naked in front of a veritable stranger; I was there for my annual ginger-skin check-up to make sure I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t acquired â&#x20AC;&#x153;the cancerâ&#x20AC;? during the last year of desperately trying to achieve a tan while diligently wearing 30 SPF or higher sunscreen. As a red-head with green eyes and a family history of melanoma, I take skin care very seriously. But I found it weird that I had totally ignored my â&#x20AC;&#x153;presentation,â&#x20AC;? as I normally spend at least a half-day primping and prepping for my ob/gyn visit.

I was so embarrassed by my state of nonpulled-togetherness that the first thing I blurted out when she began her examination was an apology: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so sorry youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing me like this! At least I showered!â&#x20AC;? And to her credit, her reply was almost believable: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No worries. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me in the slightest.â&#x20AC;?

Maybe not, but afterward, still smarting from the shot of liquid nitrogen to the schnoz (she did find one small actinic keratosis, which can develop into cancer if not treated . . . curse you, daywalker skin!), I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but consider my total lack of effort prior to this appointment. And then it hit me, sure as the 18-degree temperature had when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d first walked outside earlier. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m self-confident enough to not care what she thinks, nor that I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the time to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make amends.â&#x20AC;? It was simply this: Winter had arrived!

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touched a razor since Halloween, why I am shedding skin faster than our anole lizard, and most definitely why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not paid close attention to my nails in months.

If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wearing jeans and wool socks and boots 24/7, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply no need to keep things in summer shape. In fact, I find that a little extra hair on the leg acts much like the down feathers on a duck!

Still, cold weather is no excuse for letting my appearance go the way of my snow-birding in-laws. (Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south, people!) For the sake of my children, my husband and my kind-hearted dermatologist, I must, at the very least, moisturize and shave. Peace out.

My wife and I have learned that when it comes to deciding what movies to see, we cannot depend on the opinions of HUMOR newspaper and online movie critics. These are disgruntled people who are looking to criticize even the most enjoyable films â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no doubt unhappy that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write off the $12 tub of popcorn as a business expense.

I once suggested to Mary Ellen that we go to the theater and hang around outside, then listen in on people as they exited the movie to see what they were saying about it. My wife was against this just like the time I advocated the same idea for picking a restaurant. Mary Ellen felt that standing out in the cold in front of Red Lobster to eavesdrop on the patrons seemed desperate. And it might look a bit fishy.

The other night we headed out to see a movie, certain weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d enjoy our selection since it was getting great reviews. But just to be sure, I lingered outside the entrance to see what I could overhear as people exited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was awesome.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best time I have had in a theater.â&#x20AC;?

To hear such universal raves is uncommon, so I decided to question one of the patrons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Was the film really that good?â&#x20AC;? I asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, it was just mediocre, but those new seats? Wow! Never had such a great evening,â&#x20AC;?

said one lady.

My wife and I were eager to see what all the talk was about. We walked inside and there they were: The Regal King-Size Recliners. Yes, movie theater seats with a La-Z-Boy feel.

The seats were twice the size of the previous ones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nice and leathery with a remote button that lets you adjust the recliner wa-a-a-a-y down, making your back almost parallel to the floor, assuming you want to look at the ceiling.

We watched the movie. The name of it was â&#x20AC;Ś ?

It was about â&#x20AC;Ś ? The lead actor was â&#x20AC;Ś ? Actually, I remember nothing about the movie. My wife, by the way, liked the new seats, but there was a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last time we go to that theater,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why? Name one thing you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your snoring.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, Mary Ellen, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a guy like me in a reclining position and expect me to stay awake.â&#x20AC;?

Oh, and by the way, the cup holders are huge.

They can even hold a small bag of popcorn, which is a great idea. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like going to sleep on an empty stomach.

As soon as the Herdmans arrive for Christmas pageant rehearsal, they cause a scene and commotion in front of the other children and director Grace Bradley (Nikki McConnell). ?W^c^b Qh A^QTac 7TaaX]Vc^]

This holiday show is naughty and nice

By Robert Herrington Â&#x201C; a^QTac/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Westfield Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming holidaythemed performance, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,â&#x20AC;? has THEATER eight families sharing the local theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show is wonderful for families and this is the time people do things as a family,â&#x20AC;? said director Bobbi Van Van Howe Howe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the kids in the cast have a parent or older sibling in the show.

I try to make it a family thing, especially around Christmas.â&#x20AC;?

The McConnells of Westfield had no idea they would share the stage together when they first came to tryouts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They brought their son to audition, I asked them to read and then they had parts,â&#x20AC;? Van Howe said.

Instead of driving their son, C.J., to rehearsals, Chris and Nikki McConnell of Westfield are acting alongside him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in a play since high school,â&#x20AC;?

Chris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been about 20 years since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done this. â&#x20AC;Ś I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have this much fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a real bonding experience for the three of us as a family,â&#x20AC;? Nikki said.

When the family isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at the playhouse, they rehearse lines together at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only have five lines. I help them out by reading other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lines,â&#x20AC;? C.J. said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I have to

Celebration of Lights â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Dr., will offer holiday celebrations, light concessions and a story from Santa Claus starting at 6:30 p.m. Dec. FISHERS 6. Arrive early to catch a special guest appearance

by Lauren Lowrey with Ashton Wolf, and stick around for a performance by the Fishers High School Choir. Children can enjoy visiting with reindeer, stopping by local business booths and enjoying hot chocolate and cookies while Santa Claus reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Night Before Christmas.â&#x20AC;? For more information, visit www.fisherschamber.com.

The 12 Houses of Christmas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Noblesville Preservation Allianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will kick off its annual event on NOBLESVILLE Dec. 5. The event is 6 to 9 p.m. through Dec. 31.

Beth Bradley (Leah Kerkhoff), left, and Alice Wendlekin (Audrey Duprey) get in a heated argument about the Herdmans behavior in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.â&#x20AC;?

be angry at her and she gives me a face, I start to smile.â&#x20AC;?

The McConnells star as a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant, faced with casting the Herdman kids, probably the most inventively awful kids in history. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear and hit small children. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant. None of the Herdmans has ever heard the Christmas story before and their interpretation of the tale has many people up in arms. But the mayhem and fun will make this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pageant the most unusual anyone has

seen and, just possibly, the best one ever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favorite part of it is it explains Christmas very well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what it really is and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about,â&#x20AC;? Van Howe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes a big impact on my heart. â&#x20AC;Ś Every one of them is a juvenile delinquent, but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t incapable of having compassion and realizing the Christmas story.â&#x20AC;?

Gabe Dixon and Matthew Santos

By Chris Bavender Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]UXbWTab R^\ Music has always been a part of Matthew Santosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life. His grandfather was a trumpet player in a polka band and two MUSIC uncles were folk musicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents loved the Beatles and Journey, etc., so I grew up hearing them pretty consistently. I was taken by movie soundtracks at an early age, and started playing my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old piano when I was 6,â&#x20AC;?

Santos said. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;I soon started singing along to Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men and James Taylor.

I picked up the guitar at 14 and started writing my own songs at 15 and have been doing it ever since.â&#x20AC;?

Santos â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who was nominated for a Grammy in 2009 for his vocals on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Superstarâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will soon release his fourth solo studio album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Further.â&#x20AC;? He has teamed up with fellow musician Gabe Dixon for a mini-tour that will bring them to The Warehouse in Carmel at 8 p.m. Dec. 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gabe and I did a short run together earlier this year and just hit it off,â&#x20AC;? Santos said.

Dixon has an equally hefty amount of musical credits to his name. He played piano and keyboards on Paul McCartneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2001 album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Driving Rain,â&#x20AC;? and has performed with artists such as Alison Krauss and OAR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole essence of The Warehouse is to be a place where musicians can shine, so we

Gabe Dixon, piano player, will be at The Warehouse next month. BdQ\XccTS _W^c^

are beyond excited to showcase these two talented songwriters on our stage,â&#x20AC;? said Nicole Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal, director of operations at The Warehouse.

For Santos, the driving force behind his music is simple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;immediate emotional response to the listener.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an in-the-moment, fleeting glimpse of the human spirit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a powerful force that gives emotional context anywhere it is applied, it transcends, empowers, inspires and gives voice to those who have the heart to feel it,â&#x20AC;? the 31-year-old said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings people together under the same flag. Music is life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a boundless endeavor, an endless well and an expansive universe to explore.â&#x20AC;?

Tickets for the show are available in advance for $22.50 and will be $25 at the door. Advance tickets are available at liveforthemusic.com. The Warehouse is at 254 First Avenue SW, Carmel, adjacent to the Monon Trail. For more information, call 661-1760.

Gabe Dixon & Matthew Santos Friday, December 12 @ 8 PM Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss these Grammynominated singer/songwriters, featured with artists such as Alison Krauss, Lupe Fiasco, Supertramp, Paul McCartney, and More. A must-see concert!

Festival of Carols starts Dec. 7

By Jay Harvey Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]cX]UXbWTab R^\

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;FESTIVAL OF CAROLSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Growth into larger venues has made the Indianapolis Symphonic Choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Festival of Carolsâ&#x20AC;? concert also a vehicle for MUSIC artistic growth. Concertgoers will hear the likes of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Believeâ&#x20AC;? (from Polar Express) as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Come, All Ye Faithful.â&#x20AC;?

For the first time, in the choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24th year, there will be four performances of the program.

For much of its history, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Festival of Carolsâ&#x20AC;? was situated in area churches, but it soon outgrew them. The Scottish Rite Cathedral represented its first venture into a concert hall several years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when it took off, â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Eric Stark, the choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director for the past dozen years.

Moving out of churches encouraged an expansion of the repertoire, drawing larger audiences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I started thinking of what we were going to do, my imagination went down a different path,â&#x20AC;?

Stark said, resulting in â&#x20AC;&#x153;an increase of secular and popular kinds of things. We had done carols and anthems in a church setting.â&#x20AC;? The increase in family attendance, he added, with children needing to have their shorter attention spans addressed, helped spur more wide-ranging programming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public has enjoyed it more and more,â&#x20AC;? tenor Eric Oehler confirmed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The eclectic mix of music makes it fun and serious at the same time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sacred works, some funny stuff.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a fun piece,â&#x20AC;? said ISC member

Who: Indianapolis Symphonic Choir and soloist Maria Jette, with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra.

When: 7 p.m. Dec. 7, 8 p.m. Dec. 20, 3 and 7 p.m.

Dec. 21.

Where: Scottish Rite Cathedral, 650 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis (Dec. 7), The Palladium, 355 City Center Dr., Carmel (Dec. 20 and 21).

Tickets: $20-$35 (Scottish Rite), $25-$38 (Palladium), www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org, www.indychoir.org.

Julie Paavola, who like Oehler, lives in Carmel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And there are pieces that are just beautiful. This concert helps with getting ready for the holidays and the festiveness of it all.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a unique kind of animal artistically,â&#x20AC;? said Stark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m picking the repertoire, I know the audience is going to be familiar with a lot of it. I like to have a new setting (of a familiar piece) or an updated arrangement.â&#x20AC;?

Except for a few a cappella selections, the choir will again be working with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. Also returning will be soprano soloist Maria Jette, known nationally for appearances on â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Prairie Home Companionâ&#x20AC;? and as a participant in the public-radio showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cruises. Young and old concertgoers alike can look forward to hearing Jette and the choir in a new arrangement of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.â&#x20AC;?

While many people commit to exercise, fewer commit to stretching before they exercise.

Stretching offers a number of EXERCISE important benefits, including improving the quality of aerobic exercise and strength training workouts. There are also benefits to stretching outside of physical activity, for instance if you stretch when you awaken in the morning or before bed at night.

Overall, stretching increases blood flow and keeps the body limber by releasing muscle tension and tightness. Tight muscles canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t function like they should. Stretching also promotes flexibility, which ensures muscles and joints are able to move through the full range of motion. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to stretch and complete mild warm-up exercises before any moderate or vigorous exercise. Additionally, exercise results in a shortening of the muscles, which stretching alleviates. It also helps decrease the chance of injury to muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Here are some tips for stretching: Â&#x201C; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attempt to stretch muscles when they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;cold.â&#x20AC;? Walk or light jog for five to 10 minutes before stretching. Â&#x201C; Stretch at least two to three times per week. If you work out that often, just make stretching a part of your normal routine. Â&#x201C; Stretch each muscle group (quadriceps,

hamstrings, calves, shoulders, chest, back) using slow, gentle movements.

Be sure to breathe while you stretch, exhaling as you move into the stretch. Â&#x201C; Hold onto a chair or the wall for standing stretches to provide stability. Â&#x201C; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overstretch. To improve flexibility, you must stretch and hold a muscle beyond its normal point. However, be sure to stop stretching if you feel pain. Improper stretching can harm muscles by creating small tears that will enlarge during activity or exercise. Stretch muscles to a comfortable point and hold for 15 seconds. Â&#x201C; Avoid bouncing. This can increase the likelihood of injuries and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommended for beginners or anyone recovering from injury.

Talk to your primary care doctor before beginning a stretching or exercise regimen if you have musculoskeletal disease or symptoms such as joint or muscle pain. Your doctor or a certified fitness trainer are good resources if you have questions about proper stretching.

Focus on gratitude Commentary by CJ McClanahan Look around your house (including your garage) and ask yourself the following question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How much of this stuff fulfills a need versus a want?â&#x20AC;? I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surBUSINESS prised with the answer.

In his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buyology,â&#x20AC;? marketing guru Martin Lindstrom points out that the majority of advertising in the world today is focused on the emotion of fear. He argues that this type of â&#x20AC;&#x153;fear-basedâ&#x20AC;? advertising plays â&#x20AC;&#x153;less on our generalized anxieties and more on our insecurities about ourselves.â&#x20AC;?

Why do advertisers focus on our insecurities to sell their products? One reason: it works. Most Americans get their sense of self worth from their possessions and status in comparison to their peers. And as a result, we continue to buy when we feel that our lives are lacking something.

The only way to resist the urge to continually fill your life with stuff you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need is to learn to be grateful for your current position in life. I believe that practicing gratitude is one of the most important habits that any professional can develop because it helps us to keep everything in perspective.

But, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just take my word for it. In their groundbreaking book called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Psychology of Gratitude,â&#x20AC;? professors Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough point out that people who practiced gratitude â&#x20AC;&#x153;exercised more regularly,

reported fewer physical symptoms and felt better about their lives as a whole.â&#x20AC;? In addition, these individuals also were also more likely to make progress toward their personal and professional goals.

In other words, learning to focus on what you have instead of what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t can help you to enjoy more professional success. It will reduce your stress and improve your ability to the types of effective decisions that lead to bottom-line growth.

To get you started, here are a few simple strategies to help make gratitude part of your everyday life. First, start off by creating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gratitude list.â&#x20AC;? This list will include everything in life for which you are grateful. You will include family, home, friends, etc.

Next, consider keeping a journal where you document all that you are grateful for each day.

Here, you will capture unique situations that occur in your everyday life.

Finally, you need to learn to be a good steward of your resources. By that, I mean that you need to give a portion (consider a tithe) of your time and money away to others who are less fortunate.

Missed the mark on ‘so?’

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Jordan, I faithfully read and enjoy your Current column, but I think you missed the mark on Marlena’s quesGRAMMAR GUY tion (Nov. 18) about the irritating use of ‘so.’ I think you didn’t answer the question she asked, because (sorry, Marlena) I think she didn’t ask her question very well. You tackled the issue of the misuse of ‘so’ as a conjunction. I believe, though, that Marlena – and I share her irritation – is troubled by the use of ‘so’ as what I’ve seen called, variously, a ‘filler,’ ‘introduction word,’ ‘pause word,’ or the new ‘um’ or ‘well’ or ‘ya know.’ The best highfalutin term I could find is ‘discourse marker.’ I’m talking about the meaningless use of ‘so’ at the beginning of a sentence, often in reply to a question.” – Richard Dickinson Answer: Writing these columns is easy with engaged readers like you and Marlena who are both passionate and happy to do a little research for me. (In the interest of editorial transparency: For space reasons I had to cut off the end of Richard’s e-mail in which he cites a Salon article on the subject of “so.”)

The rabbit hole does go deep on this one, as you note.

In 2013, the Guardian published an article by psychologist and author Oliver James about “so” replacing “look” as the word of choice for “pack-

aged self-presentation.”

Also in 2013, Salon columnist Daniel Rigney penned an unflattering look at the spread of so-called “so-sentences,” which he deemed a “verbal virus.”

New York Times writer Anand Giridharadas in 2010 traces the origin of these “so-sentences” to the tech sector via a 1999 book on Silicon Valley by journalist Michael Lewis (“The New New Thing”). Giridharadas suggests that “so” appeals to the mind of a programmer, who writes code in a certain, logical order and might, therefore, order his speech the same way.

Is there anything to that notion? Should you avoid starting sentences with “so?” If you believe some critics, it makes you sound like you’re reading from a script – not a great idea when you’re trying to speak genuinely. Then again, others say it helps create an appearance of logical connection between statements – good if you’re trying to convince someone of something. My advice would be the same as in most situations: consider your message, consider your audience and modify your language as appropriate.

5,000 YEARS OF CIVILIZATION. LIVE ON STAGE!

ALL-NEW 2015 SHOW | WITH LIVE ORCHESTRA

MAGINE a stage performance so profound, so inspiring, it touches your soul. Let Shen Yun take you on a journey through 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture. Legends, myths, and heroes spring to life through classical Chinese dance. Ethnic and folk dances fill the stage with color and energy. The leaps and flips of Shen Yun’s aerial masters, thunderous battle drums, and singers’ soaring voices are all set to animated backdrops that transport you to another world.

Renowned Violinist Experience the extraordinary.

“I have reviewed over 3,000 shows, none can compare to Joshua Bell what I saw tonight. Five Stars! ‘Mind-blowing’!”

“SHEN YUN” is an elegant Chinese name meaning “the beauty of heavenly beings dancing.”

NOT MADE IN CHINA: For thousands of years, China was known as Shen Zhou—the Land of Divine. Chinese culture was believed to be transmitted by the divine through various dynasties. Sadly, China’s traditional culture and virtues have been devastated under 60 years of communist rule. Today you cannot see a performance like Shen Yun in China.
