U.S. reps Brooks and Messer hold school safety roundtable at HSE

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com On Oct. 25, representatives from education, public safety and Congress attended a school safety roundtable at Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers. U.S. Reps. Susan W. education Brooks and Luke Messer hosted the event.

Afterward, members of the media were invited for closing remarks and a press conference.

Brooks said one of the biggest topics of discussion were school resource officers.

“HSE implements something called text-a-tip, a communication tool for students to report anonymously or not some issues that they might be concerned about, whether a student is contemplating suicide or aware of drugs on campus," Brooks said.

"School resource officers are positions of trust with students, just like teachers. They become part of the fabric of the schools. That is how they often get a lot of tips, and because of some incredible law enforcement efforts in Lawrence Schools last week, drugs were confiscated. They (drugs) are still in our schools. It’s still a problem.”

Mental health issues, ways of keeping potential predators and criminals out of buildings and other security issues also were discussed.

“School security challenges everything from dealing with drug overdoses to natural disasters to violence perpetrated by a student to terrorist attacks,” Messer said. “It’s a broad range of challenges and exciting to hear how Indiana is dealing with it. We can do more to physically serve the (school) facilities and make sure there is an alert

system within the school so it is more difficult for someone to get in if they have bad intentions, and also make sure we have training and school resource officers on site.”

Representatives from Secure Schools Alliance, Fishers Police Dept., Indiana Dept. of Homeland Security, Indiana State Police, Indiana Sheriffs’ Association, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Southwestern Consolidated School District of Shelby County, Our Kids Deserve It, Stanley Security, Carmel Clay Schools, Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township, Allegion, Zionsville Town Council, Johnson Controls, Hamilton Southeastern Schools and Fanning Howey attended the roundtable discussion.

“We have a pretty good model here in Indiana with school safety academy, and if we can get that sort of leadership at the federal level, that could work on school safety programs by hardening the target with physical changes to the building to make it harder to get in and do damage,” said Dr. Michael Beresford, assistant superintendent of staff and students.

“We spend a lot of time traveling around and saying, ‘See something, say something,” Indiana State Police Supt. Doug Carter said. “We are asking every community in Indiana to do that. Somebody generally speaking knows something about the individual about to commit the crime. It’s important you communicate with us and communicate with the school corporation. I suggest we all come together as one in an effort to try to do the right thing.”

Straight ticket voting changes – Straight party voting has changed in Indiana. Hoosiers will still be able to cast a straight ticket on Nov. 8, but that vote will not count for any individual candidate for county council or town council at-large. Voters now need to select each candidate they wish to elect for at-large county council and town council seats.

Richey Woods hosts fall fest

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers families will have an opportunity to enjoy the fall leaves before winter arrives at the inaugural fall festival 1 to 6 p.m. Nov. 5 at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve, event 10410 Hague Rd. The Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. was looking to create another opportunity for an event during the cooler months and a last shot for some eco-therapy before snow falls.

“We talked a lot about the idea of nature deficit disorder (within the parks and recreation dept.), and eco-therapy is a chance to get out in the woods, see the sights and get some exercise,” Parks Director Tony Elliot said.

“It’s a great opportunity all around, physically and mentally. We want to give residents as many opportunities as we can to get out and get away from the iPad, to get away from the iPhone and enjoy what we offer in Fishers parks.”

Hikes will be led through the 127 acres of Ritchey Woods with a 30-person cap per hike.

Games, crafts, s’mores supplies and a bonfire will be available. Elliot encourages residents to bring their own roasting itemsl, such as

hotdogs.

“It’s a beautiful time of year. It’s a fantastic time of year to take that hike and see the trees in peak color and just get out and enjoy the natural environment before we are all cooped up in the winter time,” Elliot said. “It gives us a great opportunity for the smell of the leaves and the smell of the campfire. We wanted to really invite people out to this place we all love within parks and rec and the city.”

Grandma drives monster truck

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Sheryl Beerbouer, Fishers, has always had a thing for monster trucks.

Event Her three daughters knew this, and when her oldest daughter, Kelly, saw a story on the Hoda and Kathy Lee Today Show about accomplishing bucket lists, she thought her mom would be the perfect fit.

Kelly nominated her mother to achieve her bucket list dream of driving a monster truck, and Sheryl was one of three people to be selected.

The daughters worked together to truly surprise their mother, and Sheryl’s middle daughter, Erin, decided to tell her mother they were going to downtown Indianapolis for dinner.

She said the family would stop by the Indiana State Fairgrounds to pet the horses, another favorite activity of Sheryl’s, before dinner.

Little did Sheryl know, Hoda was waiting there with driver Mark Hall and the Raminator, a monster truck, for Sheryl to drive.

The group led Sheryl to the grandstands where the Raminator was waiting.

“Behind them is this big, black tarp I didn’t even notice, and (Hall) started the engine, and it’s the loudest sound. It’s just awesome,”

Sheryl said. “The guy drives out and parks right beside us, and Hoda starts talking, and she said, ‘I know you love monster trucks and, … you are going to ride in it and drive it.’ My jaw dropped, and I thought, ‘How can I drive that thing?’ But my daughters had given them my measurements. They had made me a completely authentic, fireproof suit I wore and a regulations helmet that had (Hall’s) signature on it.”

“It was just so much fun, and we were out there a couple of hours I guess, and they just did a great job,” she said. “It was just a very special day.”

Jog kicks off Thanksgiving

By Chris Bavender news@geistcurrent.com Thanksgiving is a day of turkey, stuffing, decadent desserts … and the Gobevent blers Jog 5K. The fifth annual race is set for 8 a.m. Nov. 24 at Witten Park in Saxony Village.

The race was started five years ago by Hamilton Southeastern High School crosscountry coach Joe Golden as a way to promote health and fitness in the community beyond the schools.

“I picked Thanksgiving because my son and I had done another race in Broad Ripple, and it had gotten so big and congested, and he was so young, and I didn’t feel safe with him in that crowd,” Golden said. “I thought there were so many people from the Fishers area driving down there, and there wasn’t anything up here. And I also thought it would be a great service opportunity for my team, and it all came together then.”

Golden chose Saxony for the race because of the 5K course the development built.

“It’s a really nice course and a great layout, and it starts and finishes in Saxony, so it was a really easy decision,” Golden said.

The fifth annual Gobblers Jog 5K will be Nov. 24.

(Submitted photo)

In its first year, the Gobblers Jog had approximately 600 entrants. In 2015, there were close to 1,300. Proceeds from the race support area food banks, as well as fitness initiatives at Hamilton Southeastern schools.

“It’s a great way to start Thanksgiving Day and spend time with family and get your fitness in before Thanksgiving,” Golden said.

“And to also know it has a charitable aspect to it and you are helping others.”

The entry fee is $30 for individuals, with a family rate (up to six people) of $110.

Rezoning approval of district leaves Sunbeam Co. ‘stunned’

By Nick Poust • news@geistcurrent.com

that you just passed and how that applies to our properties, especially our property along 116th Street, it’s going to be very, very difficult to figure out how we’re going to be able to do anything that’s going to work for us as investors in the ways we’ve been trying to develop this for years and years,” Kern said.

The Employment Node’s development standards, as proposed by McGrath, would require development plans along the I-69 corridor to feature a minimum of two-stories, and a maximum of three-stories, next to residential housing. Additionally, the Employment Node highlights the need for open space, specifically encouraging the creation of sidewalk cafes, fountains, sculptures and food kiosks, among other similar structures.

“While we’re zoning all of this Employment Node, the goal of the corridor overall is for more employment opportunities,” McGrath said. “We are happy to work with (Sunbeam Co. and other developers) should there be site-specific opportunities and ideas that are accretive to their vision and our vision as a community.”

During the Fishers City Council meeting Oct. 17, a motion was development passed to establish an Employment Node District from 106th Street to 116th Street, thus taking real-estate power from Sunbeam Development Co. and putting decision-making in the hands of the city.

Proposed by Deputy Mayor Leah McGrath, the McGrath Employment Node includes land along the I-69 corridor and regards undeveloped land which, for much of the past three decades, had been a planned unit development for Sunbeam Co. The decision did not sit well with Peterson Ken Kern, who represented Sunbeam at the council meeting.

“Seeing the content of the Node ordinance

City Council Member Pete Peterson viewed the rezoning as a positive for Sunbeam Co. “I think you’ve looked at this particular ordinance maybe skewed,” Peterson said. “This is just going to enhance your property. This is not going to prohibit you from doing anything as long as the project goes along with the place we want to take the city.”

Peterson assured Kern that the city council would look at their individual proposed developments as they are brought forward and happily discuss it with all involved parties.

“Your current tenants are going to like it much better,” Peterson said. “Your future tenants are going to like it a lot better because they are going to know that we’re always drawing toward the highest development that we possibly can in that area.”

Kern said that Sunbeam Co. has four retail projects along the 116th corridor that will be brought to the city for approval in the next several weeks.

The next city council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 21 at Fishers City Hall, 1 Municipal Dr.

Mt. Vernon elementary schools integrate STEM initiatives into cardboard arcade project

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com

For more than a year, Mt. Vernon Community School Corp.’s three elementary schools have been cover story growing their high-ability programs, centering around the implementation of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education.

Beginning last month, the three high-ability teachers at Fortville Elementary, Mt. Comfort Elementary and McCordsville Elementary announced their students’ involvement with the Imagination Foundation’s Global Day of Play.

On Oct. 21, Fortville Elementary students showcased their creation of an entire classroom of arcade games, created only out of cardboard and other recycled materials, a Bailey project inspired by Caine Monroy, a boy who grabbed social media attention in 2012 after an 11-minute film about his cardboard arcade inside his dad’s used auto parts store went viral.

Lauren Bailey, the high-ability teacher at Mt. Comfort Elementary, said the concept of students creating their own arcade games Daugherty fully encompasses the goal of STEM. “The science part of this project includes that whole engineering piece, constructing it, planning it, all of that,” she said. “Then, with the technology piece, they’ve researched online how to do things, and also, they each have an iPad integrated within their projects.

You have to answer a math question before you can play the game, and there was tons Coy of measuring involved for math. It’s actually more STEAM, because you have that art aspect in there as well.

“Jessica Daugherty (the high-ability teacher at Fortville Elementary) actually saw (the Caine’s Arcade) video. So, that kind of sparked interest,” Bailey added. “We thought it looked really

fun, and we thought, well, what better way to do this than with our high-ability groups?”

The high-ability program does more than special projects, though. Every day, the three teachers pull high-ability students out of their normal classrooms to do extra reading for 30 minutes. In addition, math is also taught twice each week for 30 minutes.

“A lot of times, the kids have kind of been given a linear math or science curriculum up until this point, but giving them the space to be creative in their own regard is so important,” said Kean Coy, high-ability teacher at McCordsville Elementary. “We really didn’t want them to look up ideas (online) that others had used in the past. We encourage them to think on their own, creating blueprints and drafts.”

“It’s recognizing that their brains function in a different way and recognizing that they can push past these boundaries,” Daugherty said. “What’s been neat about this project is that there are things they did with their projects that I wouldn’t have even thought about at all. They felt empowered by it and working with their hands. They were so excited to create something.”

To get the program started, Daugherty wrote a grant application to the Mt. Vernon foundation to pilot the program in her school. It began small, with students reading extra just two days each week.

“Then, after the first semester, the district saw the benefits of the program, so we incorporated the two other elementary schools,” Fortville Elementary Principal Heather Noesges said.

“This year, she’s here full time for both reading and math.”

The district’s elementary-level high-ability program began at the start of the 2015-16 school year, but only at Fortville Elementary. During the second semester, at the start of 2016, the program was expanded to Mt. Comfort Elementary and McCordsville Elementary.

“We’ve been really working on doing some project-based learning with our students, because honestly, they understand all the concepts that are being thrown at them,” Noesges said. “So we’re trying to get them to enrich the concepts they

already know. This is really focusing on and incorporating building things and problem-solving at the same time.

“High-ability students really need to be enriched a lot more than what (a teacher) can do in an everyday classroom. Teachers do a great job differentiating their instruction, but just having the time to meet all the levels (of ability) in their classroom (is important). This is just extra support that these kids every day get 30 minutes to work with Mrs. Daugherty, where she can push them beyond what they’re getting in the generaleducation classroom.”

Looking ahead, the district said it wants to expand programming for its high-ability students with expanded times and more areas of study incorporated.

Daugherty said she is already starting to purchase and gather materials for future implementation of makerspaces, defined DIY spaces where kids work to create, invent and learn.

On a larger level, the district said it hopes to expand highability times from 30 minutes and potentially hire additional staff, although nothing has been decided.

“Certainly we’ve implemented a lot of change within the last year,” said Dr. Jeff Bond, director of Curriculum & Assessment at MVCSC, who oversees the high-ability program for the district. “I anticipate that as a district we’re moving toward a stronger STEM focus. That is a K through 12 process. We’re still in beginning stages … and that won’t be just for the high-ability students. I think that will bridge that gap between multiple contents, language arts, mathematics, science, all of those can be incorporated.”

UPCOMING CARDBOARD ARCADE SHOWCASES • McCordsville Elementary also will host its cardboard arcade Nov. 22. Working in shifts, the first will begin at 11:50 a.m., and the last will finish approximately at 1:50 p.m. Approximately 47 high-ability students will take part.

• Mt. Comfort Elementary will host its cardboard arcade just before Thanksgiving Break at 1 p.m. Nov. 23. Approximately 35 high-ability students will take part.

A scary good day

FR O M T HE B A C K SH O P

If we were on the team Everywhere we go we find ourselves engaged in discourse about the upcoming elections, national and local. It’s difficult to resist commenting and offering our two-cents worth (that’s about all it’s worth, frankly). We’ve been reading recently that Donald Trump apparently is getting some traction with his “the election is rigged” line. Perhaps it’s appealing to some that feel everything in this nation is rigged, with Wall Street, lobbyists, inside-the-beltway “experts”, and other circles conspiring to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of us. There’s no question there’s a heightened level of frustration out there. And, we are embarrassed, as members of the media, to witness the unprecedented scorn heaped upon the Republican nominee by the “neutral” media. Granted, Trump provides plenty of fodder to feed the media’s anti-Trump diatribe, but, still, it should remain as objective as possible in its mainstream coverage. Otherwise, put opinion where it belongs: on the opinion page. Since this arguably has become the “year of the outsider,” we would encourage Trump to continue talk of a rigged system.

But he should go beyond that. He should explain the establishment isn’t against him, but, rather, you, the voter. And keep repeating it. Every member of the establishment - and this includes Republicans - is against anything other than the status quo, and they want Hillary Clinton in the White House, guaranteeing nothing changes. They want their cushy jobs protected. In an attempt to be fair, we offer this advice to Hillary Clinton: Keep cutting Wikileaks’ access to the Internet. The less voters know about the inner workings of your campaign, the better.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

The body politic Commentary by Terry Anker Oxford defines us thusly: The people of a nation, state, or society considered collectively as an organized group of citizens – the body politic. We are one, whether at this moment we feel like it. Social media, television and even your friendly local newspaper seem especially full of political opinion.

And, like a body enduring the challenge of a lengthy race, our extremities long for an end to the test of endurance. Limbs, heart and lungs all cry out for speedy conclusion. But our brain, mighty and exalted, commands that we push ourselves to a strong finish.

Our body politic strains but will soon recover and find itself ready to compete again.

We’ll sleep, recuperate and rebuild.

Yes, Election Day is finally approaching.

To all who are eligible to cast a ballot and who have yet to exercise the right, go vote: Do it now or do it on our nation’s proper Election Day. But do it. The year 2016, a year unlike many before it, has divided us into

distinct candidate camps with disparate, some might argue desperate, points of view. OK. Yet it is our obligation to this body politic to participate.

Whatever our choices may be, there is respect in the act and commitment we make.

Libertarian, Democrat, Republican or Independent. This time Susan Brooks deserves another go. Todd Rokita, too. Carmel-raised Todd Young seems right for the Senate. The best economic plan is Eric Holcomb’s. Then, choose Mike Pence and his running mate to ensure a Hoosier at the top on Inauguration Day. In claiming a preference, no offense is intended or warranted. Let’s hope our body politic makes it across the finish line free from injury and still better because of the race.

Today was a good day. True, I stepped in dog poop three times and briefly electrocuted myself. But overall, I humor place this particular Tuesday firmly in the “More Than Just Survived” category. Why? Well, I was doing what I love best — futzing around with my Halloween yard décor.

See, we Wilsons (really just me) take Oct. 31 very seriously. Our (my) goal is to be the best “Halloween house” in a three-mile radius, eventually five. Granted, we don’t have much competition right now, but I’m hoping by continually adding one life-size witch/ vampire/Grim Reaper and two strands of orange lights each year, we’ll inspire others to pick up the torch (and a few pitchforks, and maybe a possessed scarecrow). Because honestly, when else can you trash your yard with strobe lights, fake webbing and Regan from “The Excorcist” and not be fined by the neighborhood association?

By the time you’re reading this, of course, the best holiday of the season will be over and done with, and I’ll be staring at a pile of plastic bones, black capes and dead batteries. Sadder still, I’ll be back at work and will have neither the time nor the inclination to clean up said junk heap.

That’s another reason why today was so wonderful – my kids were at school while I was out frolicking in my faux graveyard, setting up Regan’s tea party. As luck would have it, my fall break does not align with theirs, and I’ve been forced to stay home all week without them (outward sigh, inward jubilation).

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll love my children.

And lately, I’ve even started liking a couple of them. But they are exhausting, and unless I want to end up looking like the zombie I miraculously rigged up in the front maple, I need to plan moments where I can forget about the carpooling and cooking and be a kid myself.

So yes, I trod on squishy dog turds throughout most of the afternoon, and suffered mild electric shock while masterfully configuring 17 extension cords, but I definitely had a good day. Peace out.

Feeding frenzy Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The Wolfsies have accepted two invitations to dinner on Thanksgiving. The Haversticks always invite my wife and son and humor me to join them at a lovely buffet at a downtown hotel. Since Mary Ellen and I have siblings who live out of town, we appreciate this gesture. I come from a pretty good size family in New York, but we’re not talking to each other because of a contentious Thanksgiving about 25 years ago.

For you ornithology buffs, please note: I have seen a turkey fly.

Our friends the Goslings have invited us to their house later in the afternoon. The Wolfsies offered to bring something to share at the Gosling dinner pitch-in. But what we contribute (and how much) might depend on the noon smorgasbord downtown — and whether the restaurant has those big Styrofoam to-go boxes.

If Mary Ellen decides to cook, how much are we supposed to bring? Calculating that would stump even Albert Einstein, who came from a nice Jewish family where food obviously played a very important role. Some biographers think the equation E=mc2 really meant the amount of food you can Eat (that would

be E) is equal to the size of the average Mouth (that’s M) times the number of cousins (C) who were invited. Then Einstein’s mother just squared everything to ensure there would be leftovers.

Mary Ellen will watch her prepared food like a hawk, concerned it may go unappreciated, thus requiring her to slither out the door with a still-full casserole. But there is an even worse scenario: suppose her dish is completely consumed. Not a scrap left. That would mean she didn’t bring enough. This miscalculation would stain the reputation of the entire Wolfsie clan.

So here’s how we figure it. Dan and Noelle Gosling are having 20 people for dinner, so we need to make enough mashed potatoes for 40 people, because if the spuds are delish, everyone will have seconds. But other people are also bringing dishes. So if all 20 people bring enough food for 40 servings, there will be enough fare on the table that night to feed about 800 people. That should be plenty.

Managing prostate cancer Commentary by Clinton D. Bahler, MD, MS, IU Health Physicians Exciting advances in the management of prostate cancer are making it possible for doctors to provide more treatment personalized treatment to men diagnosed with the disease. While prostate cancer screening, which includes the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test and digital rectal exam, detects many cancers, screening is not always able to tell the difference between slow-growing tumors, which are common, and more aggressive forms of the disease that can lead to symptoms and death. This has led to overtreatment of prostate cancer in some cases.

Now, through a combination of MRI-guided biopsy and genetic testing, urologists are able to more accurately determine the type of tumor and whether a “watchful waiting” approach is advisable given the presence of slow-growing tumors. Genetic testing also can predict whether the cancer is likely to spread beyond the prostate. Both of these advancements help prevent overtreatment of those prostate cancers that are unlikely to cause death.

For men with more aggressive tumors

that are localized within the prostate, a new minimally invasive method for treating prostate cancer has been recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Pioneered at Indiana University School of Medicine for the localized treatment of prostate cancer, the technique uses high-intensity, focused ultrasound to destroy cancerous tissue with fewer side effects, including lower risk of incontinence and sexual dysfunction, than traditional prostate surgery.

Men between the ages of 50 and 70 should discuss the risks and benefits of PSA screening with their doctor. Those at greater risk of developing prostate cancer, which include African-Americans and men with a family history of the disease, should talk with their primary care doctor about when PSA screening should begin and how often the test should be completed.

Clinton D. Bahler, MD, MS, specializes in minimally invasive approaches to prostate and kidney cancer. He is a guest columnist located at IU Health Physicians at IU Health North Hospital and can be reached by calling the office at 317.688.5504.

Pottery studio opens in Hamilton Town Center

By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com uPaint Pottery Studio will open its third Indiana location in Hamilton new biz Town Center Nov. 12.

Fishers named Indiana’s Community of the Year

By Nick Poust • news@geistcurrent.com Thriving nearly two years after appointing its first mayor and achievement transitioning from a town to a city, Fishers is now a second-class city. The city, which has grown considerably under Mayor Scott Fadness, was named Community of the Year by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.

Autumn Gasior, director of public relations for the City of Fishers, said the recognition is a testament to its diversification.

“Our attention to all of the different areas of the city is probably what has helped us earn this award,” Gasior said.

Although there has been focus on developing downtown Fishers, including a certified technology park within the Nickel Plate District, Gasior said the city also has put emphasis on revitalizing some of its older neighborhoods while developing the I-69 business corridor, as well as improving the metropolitan airport on 96th Street. That means more jobs and an ever-growing population.

“In the 1990s, we had less than 10,000 people,” Gasior said. “We’re closing in on 90,000 now.”

The number of success stories for Fishers isn’t short. In addition to an array of developments, it has brought in stores like Stanley Security, IKEA, Topgolf and Republic, which has led to a boom in job creation and population.

“Commercial development continues to be an area of growth,” Gasior said. “One of Mayor Fadness’ initiatives is really providing the people of Fishers jobs here in our community.

We’re growing all the way around.”

In the wake of its award, the city will look forward to the “2040 Plan,” a comprehensive plan that includes everything from further development of parks and neighborhoods to transportation, economic development and projected population growth.

“It’s a comprehensive plan that will serve as a roadmap for the next several years as we continue to develop and grow,” Gasior said.

“We’re making sure that as we grow we’re doing so in a smart way that makes sure the community remains a vibrant place to be.”

‘Hitchcock’ begins Nov. 4

By Heather Collins • news@currentinfishers.com It starts with a scream.

Oakland Civic Theatre will present “Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio performance Play” beginning Nov 4.

The play will feature two of Alfred Hitchcock’s earlier films, “The Lodger” and “The 39 Steps.” “Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play” will pay homage to the 1940s style of radio play productions. The style of the play is similar to National Public Radio’s “Prairie Home Companion.” Live actors will play various characters and recreate different sound effects, which allows audiences members to feel like they are watching a traditional live radio play in the 1940s.

Marsha Grant, director of “Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Air Play,” said one of the most interesting parts of directing the play was creating all of the sound effects. The cast and crew had to get creative to recreate sounds such as Big Ben, the “cloppity clops” of a donkey, doors slamming and dishes clinking together.

All cast members will be dressed in traditional 1940s outfits. The play includes vintage commercials for the Bates Motel and North

by Northwest Airlines, among others. The play

will also feature live jingle singers throughout the show performing in the style of The Andrews Sisters.

“We try to make it as authentic as we can,” Grant said.

Attendees can enjoy theme-related snacks at Bonnie’s Cafe.

A tale of cheeseburger soup Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley For those of you that have read “The Tailgater’s Handbook” (first edition) you might remember this story. While traversing the Big Giver’s Parking Lot at Penn State way back in 1995, a lady hailed us to offer a bowl of her soup. It was life-changing! She called the soup Lost Cheeseburger Soup, and it tasted exactly like a country club cheeseburger. It was beefy, cheesy, chewy and just plain delicious. It was so good and has garnered so many favorable emails and letters from readers of this column and visitors to our website (tailgatershandbook.com) that we feel obligated to rerun this recipe every few years. You may ask, “Why was this soup referred to as lost?”

As was our practice, we asked the lady to send us the recipe and she promised she would, but it never came. When the book went to press we still didn’t have her recipe, even though a whole chapter was planned for the Lost Cheeseburger Soup. Alas, a sumptuous hearty meal we would never taste again!

Several years later a nephew of this woman (Joyce Massetti) emailed us. He was at that infamous tailgate party and read about the lost soup (minus recipe) in the book. He thought to himself, “That was us.” He contacted aunt Joyce and was able to furnish us with her name and the recipe. Hence, we have added this great recipe to our site and write about it often. You need to try this exceptional cold weather soup.

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Live Happy.

Outdoor fire features are magnets for entertainment. They bring people together and provide an excuse outdoor living for fun. They develop stories, offer warmth and fuel impromptu episodes of fun.

Most would not imagine that fireplaces/fire boulders/boulder fire pits/fire features had that much responsibility.

INVITATION Clients often wonder if homeowners actually use their fire features. Most do. Profusely.

But it’s certainly habit- and convenience-driven. Fire it up a few times in a planned fashion and watch it flourish into random. That’s when the magic happens, when the laughter begins and friends and neighbors happen to stop by with a bottle of wine. And if they don’t … invite them.

These couple of stone fire features are natural gas-driven, which can be employed

as simple starters with a few branches and twigs tossed on for smoky joy or used as the primary flame itself. Natural stone caps add authenticity to the man-made stone face. Delicious sitting walls offer condensed seating and a place to park for a while.

Invitations for fun!

One of those days?

National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan. (Photo by Don Knebel)

What percentage of Current readers with household income of at least $100,000?

Taipei: A caldron and a cabbage Commentary by Don Knebel An estimated 10 percent of the important cultural artifacts from 7,000 years of Chinese civilization are owned by a single travel museum. The museum is not in China, and its most visited item is not very old.

Chinese nationalists overthrew the imperial Qing dynasty in 1911. In 1925, the nationalist government confiscated thousands of works of art and cultural artifacts that had been displayed in the palaces of the Qing and earlier dynasties. These items, from bronze and porcelain vessels from the earliest days of Chinese civilization to paintings and imperial government records, were eventually displayed at the Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City. In 1948, with the Communists threatening, the nationalists moved thousands of crates of objects from the Palace Museum and other important museums to Taiwan, then a Chinese province. When Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalists retreated and proclaimed the Republic of China on Taiwan, they put the most important items on display in a newly established National Palace Mu-

seum in Taipei.

Taipei’s National Palace Museum now owns about 700,000 items, one percent of which are on display at a time. Among the most important items is “Mao-Gong Ding,” a 3,000-yearold bronze ceremonial caldron, famous for an encouraging message from the emperor to his governor inscribed in 500 ancient Chinese characters on the inside surface. Many visitors walk past the three-legged caldron and other items reflecting the extraordinary creativity and longevity of Chinese civilization, heading instead to the third floor. There they wait in line to file past a seven-inch-long cabbage head, carved in translucent jade, complete with a locust and a katydid. The intricatelycarved green and white “Jadeite Cabbage” by an unknown sculptor was apparently given by a Qing emperor to his mistress in the late 19th century. It has become the most popular item in the museum’s vast collection.

Dispatches Designer workshop series – The public is invited to connect with design professionals each month on various interior design topics. Join us for Setting Inspired Holiday Tablescapes presented by David Jackson of David Jackson & Co. at 10:30 a.m.

Nov. 15 at the Indiana Design Center, 200 S. Range Line Rd. Light refreshments will be provided.

Lighter pancakes – Are your gluten-free pancakes a little on the heavy side? Here’s a trick to make them light and fluffy. Instead of using milk or any other liquid, use the same amount of seltzer or club soda at room temperature. The carbonation will cause the pancakes to rise and stay airier.

Don’t waste lemons – If you need only a few drops of lemon juice, avoid cutting the lemon in half - it will dry out quickly that way. Instead, puncture the fruit with a metal skewer and squeeze out exactly what you require.

Prevent frozen car locks – Now that the weather is turning colder, it’s time to start winterizing our homes and cars. To prevent your car locks from freezing, spray some WD-40 into them before the first freeze.
