Slow leaf pickup?

A Noblesville resident is frustrated with the city for what he says is a lack of service in his neighborhood, specifically on his street off of Carrigan Road STREETS near Morse Reservoir.

Jack Barron, who lives on Chris Court, said the city’s street department has not picked up leaves on the street for the past three months, and as a result, the leaves have nearly filled the cul-de-sac.

However, the city did not begin its regular leaf pickup until October, but Barron said leaves begin falling in his neighborhood in August because he lives in a heavily wooded area.

“Since loose-leaf pickup began on Oct. 8, street department crews have removed leaves from Chris Court twice, on Oct. 18 with a street sweeper and then again on Oct. 30 with a leaf vacuum,” said Robert Herrington, the city’s communications manager. “Stating the city has ignored their location for months is simply not true.”

Barron told Current the street also often does not receive snowplow service.

“It’s been an issue for the past couple of years,” Barron said. “I always have to call before they will come out.”

“The problem they have with leaves is a self-inflicted issue as the handful of residents that live there push leaves to the middle of the street instead of properly bagging or collecting leaves in their yard,” Herrington said. “Loose leaves are not to be placed in the street and especially not in the middle of the roadway, creating a public safety issue. Street crews make a continuous circuit of the city with four leaf vacuums and four street sweepers, but on average it takes approximately four weeks to make a complete circuit of the city.”

Herrington said bagging leaves is the quickest way to get leaves removed because they are collected on the same day as each resident’s normal trash collection.

Here are a few city rules to remember: Bagged leaves must be in biodegradable bags, which can be picked up for free at any local fire station, City Hall, the street department, parks department or the Hamilton County Household Hazardous Waste Center. Bags should be placed in between the street and the sidewalk and are not picked up if placed in an alley. Each bag must weigh no more than 40 lbs.

Felix then proceeded to briefly tell Moore, his parents and their attorneys about the process moving forward. He also issued no-contact orders for Whistler and Seaman.

Violation of the orders could mean charges for invasion of privacy.

Felix said the scenario also could have been different had Moore taken any physical property from anyone, in which the state could have charged him with robbery with a deadly weapon, making it so he could have been sentenced to the DOC until age 18 with no early release.

“David avoided (adult charges) by merely a few months. As an adult charge, you would have faced decades in prison,” Felix said. “You took this community’s sense of safety. You took things, David, just not anything the state can consider property.”

Noblesville Schools released the following statement: “The traumatic incidents of May 25, 2018 have forever changed the lives of our students, staff and community. Our sincerest hope is that this boy never hurts anyone again. We appreciate the court’s powerful comments and final decision, and recognize that it was appropriate within the limited confines of what state law will allow. We’re hopeful this will be a step towards closure and healing for the victims and our community overall.”

At the end of the hearing, prosecutors asked that the court request progress reports on Moore from the DOC. Moore will remain at the Hamilton County Juvenile Services Center, where he has been since May, until the DOC transfers him. It is not yet known when Moore will be transferred.

As of press time Moore had not bee transferred from the Hamilton County Juvenile Services Center.

Marine mom surprises son at Stony Creek

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com

One student in Kay Schrage’s kindergarten class at Stony Creek Elementary received the surprise of a SCHOOLS lifetime on Veterans Day. For nearly nine months, Cameron Singleton, 5, had been away from his mom, Mariah Singleton, who is a staff sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps.

On Nov. 12, during a Veterans Day program in Stony Creek’s library, school staff arranged for Cameron to see his mom, who has been stationed in Hawaii. Unbeknownst to him, she was standing directly behind him after he turned around from watching a short clip about Veterans Day. When he turned, Mariah quickly picked up Cameron, who appropriately donned a T-shirt with the saying, “My mom wears combat boots.”

The Singleton family is familiar with moving around and going through long stints of being apart. Mariah’s husband, Jai, also is in the Marines and is stationed at Fort Meade in Maryland.

Frequent FaceTime video calls kept the family linked during their time apart.

“They’re my life, but it’s part of the job, it’s part of the sacrifice you have to make,” Mariah said. “I do love having a job and working and being (in the) Marines … If anything, it’s a good reminder that as a woman you can do both. You can have a family, have a career, be a good mom and I can still be a good Marine.”

Cameron and his younger brother, Quincy, 2, have been staying with their grandparents, who live in Noblesville. Cameron was a new student to Noblesville Schools this August.

Mariah said the family of four will be reunited later this week when they move to Fort Meade.

Seaman honored by Kiwanis

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Community recognition for teacher Jason Seaman continued when he was honored Nov. 13 by the NoblesRECOGNITION ville Sunrisers Kiwanis Club.

Seaman, who was shot three times after tackling a student shooter at Noblesville West Middle School May 25, was awarded the Robert P. Connelly Medal of Heroism during the meeting at the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville.

Kiwanis President Ted Mahnensmith opened the meeting by describing the award.

“It fell to Robert Connelly, a 34-year-old sales engineer to volunteer for the activity at the Lyle, Ill., train station during that morning rush hour (in 1966),” Mahnensmith said. “Connelly, a Marine vet with combat service in Korea, was a resident of Lyle, where he served as a village trustee and was a member of the Lyle Kiwanis Club. At 7:30 that morning, Connelly was on a platform when he saw a 20-year-old lady walk from the plank to cross the tracks. When she appeared to hesitate in the path of an

approaching train, Connelly ran 25 feet from the platform to her. The train was unable to stop, striking both of them fatally.”

Mahnensmith presented Seaman with a certificate. Seaman’s former student, Ella Whistler, who was shot seven times on May 25, placed the medal around his neck.

“We are here today to say thank you, in a small way, from Noblesville and from Kiwanis International,” Mahnensmith said. “You are what Kiwanis is all about, improving the world one child, one community at a time.

That day, you improved the lives of many.”

Autumn leaves: Beautiful or dangerous?

How to keep our communities clean during the fall Commentary by Jill Hoffmann

Autumn leaves – a beautiful symbol of changing seasons or a notable source of water pollution? Both. As the OUTDOOR weather turns colder and leaves begin to fall, many people fail to consider where those leaves end up.

Unfortunately, leaves along our sidewalks and trash cluttering up our streets are headed to only one destination: local waterways. The White River Alliance, a leading voice for water resource protection in Indiana, is working to instill a sense of stewardship and responsibility among communities by offering programs that help individual citizens and groups take actionable steps toward keeping central Indiana streams and reservoirs healthy this fall.

People may not consider leaves as a pollution source, but as they start to accumulate in and around storm drains, they change from something natural and beautiful into a real problem. In fact, organic matter buildup, like leaves, contributes to widespread pollution issues across the nation, since it eventually breaks down into harmful nutrients.

Too much of these nutrients can create algal blooms, low levels of oxygen and harm the aquatic life. This pollution also can threaten business and economic sectors that rely on high-quality water. In Indiana, specifically, nutrient overload is having a negative economic impact. It increases the cost of public water treatment and reduces the recreational use of lakes for swimming and boating, according to the Indiana State Dept. of Agriculture. Additionally, recent estimates by the Environmental Protection Agency suggest nitrogen and phosphorus buildup in the water costs the U.S. at least $2.2 billion annually.

Tons, literally tons, of other pollutants, like dangerous bacteria, fertilizer, sediment and trash, reach local storm drains every year. These storm drains empty directly into the White River and its tributaries, affecting wildlife and local public health. A goal of the White River Alliance is to raise awareness about these important infrastructure elements (storm drains) and make it clear that we can no longer take for granted the role they play in water quality.

So, how can a community help to maintain the well-being of local waterways? The White River Alliance helps facilitate group involvement through a few key resources.

StormWater Action Team (SWAT) — The Alliance’s SWAT program, or StormWater Action Team, are groups willing to donate time to help steward storm drains and promote water quality awareness in their neighborhoods. They then work to remove leaves and debris from several storm drains in the area, mark the drain with an educational marker and distribute educational information to neighbors around the drain.

Adopt A Storm Drain — The Alliance also offers the chance for members of your community to adopt a storm drain through their Clear Choices Clean Water initiative. The statewide program encourages residents to take action to improve water quality and protection through online pledges. When adopting a storm drain, residents pledge to keep the storm drain clean and free from leaves and debris and report any polluters. They also mark the storm drain with a community marker, if available, and can invite friends and neighbors to do the same through fun social media posts and resources.

River cleanups — Another way to serve the community is to participate in or plan a river cleanup. The Alliance works with many partners throughout the year to host cleanups, but you can pledge to organize your own river cleanup as well. Sometimes, large and rather unusual items are discovered through these cleanups, like tires, appliances or even old Christmas decorations.

These neighborhood programs generate much-needed awareness for maintaining safe and healthy storm drains. Storm drains are a daily and immediate connection between individual behavior around homes and yards and the White River – a fact often forgotten. Programs like SWAT and Clear Choices Clean Water presents residents with a chance to give back to their communities and improve individual connections with the river.

To get involved with these volunteer programs and others, visit thewhiteriveralliance.org, or take a service pledge at indiana.clearchoicescleanwater.org.

Jill Hoffmann is the executive director of the White River Alliance. Learn more about the organization at thewhiteriveralliance.org.

Legacy Fund changes its name

TomWoodSubaru.com 855.530.5631

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com At the 10th annual Celebration of Philanthropy dinner Nov. 8 at Ritz Charles in Carmel, Tom Kilian Jr. announced Legacy Fund has changed its name GIVING BACK to the Hamilton County Community Foundation.

Kilian, the executive director of Hamilton County Community Foundation, announced a new strategic plan to accompany the name change.

“We would like to announce we are changing our name to better serve and better reflect who we are in the community,” Kilian said.

Kilian said the name change signals a “bold new direction” the foundation will take, which includes focus on mental health, inclusive economic growth and family and youth development.

“Our new name helps better express the foundation’s goal to build a community where opportunity meets growth for everyone, and philanthropic efforts support notfor-profit organizations doing vital work,” Kilian said.

The foundation was established in 1991 to address specific needs within the county

and provide residents with the opportunity to create a living legacy to make a lasting impact. Kilian described the foundation’s new mission, shared with regional affiliates such as Central Indiana Community Foundation and The Indianapolis Foundation, as mobilizing people, ideas and investments to make the county a community where every individual has equitable opportunity to reach their full potential.

“Every person has power, and that power is multiplied when we work together,” Kilian said.

The new strategic plan for the Hamilton County Community Foundation will be finalized early next year.

In addition to the name change, the Community Pillar Award recipients Judge Steve Nation, Freedom Kolb and Brenda Myers received their awards at the event. Each received a $5,000 grant donate to a charity of their choosing.

More than 400 people attended the event.

LETTER

Common sense prevails

Commentary by Terry Anker We’ve all done it. Probably, it is even more common among those of us who innocently claim that we never have. We blunder, misspeak, drop the ball, provoke and otherwise err in countless ways, countless times. So often, in fact, that our collective literature is rife with quotation reinforcing our flawed nature. “To err is human” begins the aphorism; and rightly concludes, “to forgive divine.” One imagines the intent of the tidy quote is to remind us of celestial authority over our humble existence, namely grace. But for too many, it is used to excuse our own responsibility to try to forgive. Routinely missing personal performance standards, we cling in judgment to the failings of others.

Perhaps, it is understandable.

Our own egos preserve us. And, our critique of others is crucial in selecting mates, partners and cohorts. Still, can we find our own failings as quickly as we find them in others? And if we do, can we reconcile our mistakes and forgive ourselves?

The internet delivers more than 9 million results for the question: How to get salt out of stew? One can safely assume that each entry provides roughly the same answer: Add more stew! While our personal journey of faith can provide us with a map to divine forgiveness, the human sort of mercy may require a bit more stew. Once we have been labeled by our actions, or misperceptions of them, we are left with a stew that may be too salty for the palate of those around us. Our children find us condescending. Our boss finds us lazy. Our spouse finds us disinterested. Are we trapped by it – or can we find a way to add more stew? We can demand they eat the salty stew, but should we?

In the midnight hour Commentary by Danielle Wilson I recently stayed up past midnight. On purpose. Why? Because I’m a good mom.

Here’s the skinny.

HUMOR My oldest daughter has been in marching band for four years as part of color guard. They’re the kiddos with the flags and rifles and sabers-not-swords who perform alongside the instrument people (not withstanding my tremendous karaoke skills, I’ve never been a “musically literate” person, so forgive me if I butcher the lingo). Her team (squad? group?

Or do I just keep saying “band?”) has earned many accolades, including a particularly timely national championship in 2016 after one of the longest weeks of my life that included, but was not limited to, facilitating a son’s broken-nose surgery and witnessing Trump elected, both while solo-parenting.

Ugh. Truly horrible.

But I digress. This weekend was my fakegun tosser’s last competition ever, as she

is not continuing with winter guard (yes, there’s a whole separate season for this!

Five more months of bodysuits and broken appendages). And I have never actually been to any of her finals. She thinks I went to the aforementioned nationals from my six days of hell on Earth, but I lied to her pretty little face because I just couldn’t muscle the energy to hang with thousands of super-pumped parents in Lucas Oil. Bottom line, I had to attend this one to have any shot at Mother of the Century, even if it meant sacrificing precious sleep. There’d literally be no “next time.”

I arrived at 8:45 p.m., she went on at 10:30 p.m. and they were announced champions at 12:30 a.m. I saw it all, even if it was through bleary eyes. Occasionally, I am a good mom.

Congratulations, my darling! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK I am grateful for what I am and have.

My thanksgiving is perpetual.

–Henry David Thoreau

Editor, I realize George Cottrell’s letter “A case of the roundabouts” in the Nov. 13 issue was satirical. However, underneath the humor, he has a point.

After 25 years of living in Carmel, I moved to Noblesville three years ago to be closer to family. However, I still enjoy going back to Carmel to eat or shop. Last week, I drove up Range Line Road between 116th and 126th streets, and my reaction was, “Carmel, what are you thinking?” A perfectly functional, heavily traveled, four-lane road has been turned into a two-lane obstacle course, complete with multiple roundabouts and decorative center islands. Traffic is slowed to a crawl, businesses are inaccessible, and I can only imagine the frustration of first responders when an emergency requires they travel down Range Line.

We have roundabouts in Noblesville, but common sense has prevailed. In Carmel, the constant construction of more and more of them is costly, disruptive to traffic, damaging to businesses and a nuisance to the folks who live along those routes. Instead of functionality, Carmel has inconvenienced its citizens with hundreds of monuments to Mayor (Jim) Brainard’s ego.

Pamela Jackson, Noblesville

Indiana 8th-least vulnerable state for identity theft — With businesses such as Adidas, Best Buy, Delta, Kmart, Macy’s and Sears experiencing data breaches this year, the free credit-monitoring website WalletHub recently released its report on 2018’s States Most Vulnerable to Identity Theft & Fraud as well as accompanying videos.

Indiana was ranked the 8th-least vulnerable state on the list. To determine where Americans are most susceptible to such crimes, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across ten key metrics. The data set ranges from identitytheft complaints per capita to average loss amount due to fraud.

CHS grad Boldt, ‘Elf’ make Beef & Boards debut

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Amanda Boldt grew up attending shows at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

Now, the 2013 Carmel High School graduate and Noblesville resident is excited to make her Beef & Boards debut in “Elf The Musical,” which runs MUSICAL from Nov. 23 to Dec. 31 at the north Indianapolis theater.

Boldt has performed throughout central Indiana with Booth Tarkington Civic, Nettle Creek Players, Bobdirex, The Cabaret and, most recently, with Indy Bardfest in “Merchant of Venice.”

“My favorite roles have been Grace in ‘Annie’ (Civic) and Cinderella in ‘Into the Woods’ (Nettle Creek),” Boldt said.

“Elf The Musical” is based on the 2003 movie. It follows the journey of Buddy, an orphan who lands in a toy bag and ends up Boldt being raised as one of Santa’s elves.

This is Boldt’s first time appearing in “Elf.” She plays a variety of roles and is in the ensemble.

“This is my first time spreading Christmas cheer by singing loud for all to hear,” Boldt said. “I’ll be honest, we’re more of a ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Christmas movie tradition kind of family, but I’ve always enjoyed ‘Elf,’ the movie. (I) saw the musical for the first time last year and thought it was just so full of fun and joy.”

Boldt will be able to show her versatility in her roles.

“Ensembles are honestly sometimes the most fun in a show,” Boldt said. “Especially something like ‘Elf,’ where I’m literally getting to play a Christmas elf, an office worker, a Macy’s employee and a TV reporter all in one show. It’s challenging having to develop dynamic and interesting choices for each character, but that’s what makes it so fun, unique and exciting.”

The 2017 Ball State graduate is a patron services representative for the Center for the Performing Arts and is a co-director of education with Actors Theatre of Indiana.

Beef & Boards owner Doug Stark is directing the show.

“We have had an amazing early interest in this show,” said Stark, a Zionsville resident.

“In hindsight, I should have opened it earlier. I’ve been choosing shows for the ‘Beef’ since 1980 — I’m still learning. The theater gods have been very good to us in 2018, and we are very fortunate that we have had two attention-getting shows this season.

The first was ‘Mamma Mia.’ Here’s hoping that ‘Grease’ and ‘A Christmas Story’ in 2019 generate the same enthusiasm.”

Dan Higgins is portraying Buddy. Emily Tucker is playing Jovie and Mark Epperson is cast as Walter Hobbs. All three are New York City residents.

“There are so many talented people in this show, I couldn’t be happier,” Stark said.

Ron Morgan, a Carmel resident, is choreographing the show. “‘A Beef & Boards Christmas’ revue is one of my favorite productions to stage, but I’m so excited that we are doing a book show this year,” Morgan said. “My favorite part about staging a play is ‘telling the story,’ and ‘Elf’ is the perfect musical to celebrate the holidays. I know our audiences will enjoy the change. The story of ‘Elf’ follows the plot of the movie, but the music makes the musical even more special.”

‘Star-Cross’d Lovers’ set for Dec. 1 editorial@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Opera announces a new American opera, “Star-Cross’d Lovers,” by renowned Indiana composer Don Freund.

The story has been re-told in various genres and languages through the centuries, capturing the emotions and imaginations of audiences around the world.

In “Star-Cross’d Lovers,” Freund has written the first staged opera of Shakespearean’s English “Romeo and Juliet.”

The performance is set for 3 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Basile Opera Center 4011 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis. The performance is free.

Donations at the door will support the education programs of Indianapolis Opera.

Opera audiences are familiar with popular interpretations of the story in French Grand Opera, Italian bel canto and Bernstein’s transformed story in an American jazzinfluenced style. Now, “Star-Cross’d Lovers” lands where the story began, presenting the archetypal tale of “Romeo and Juliet.” with a revolutionary modern musical score.

“You’re the cat’s pajamas!”

Jack Lugar credits that phrase as inspiration for his 1940s-style children’s BOOK book series, “Katz Pajamas.” The series follows Katz Pajamas, an extraordinary detective who solves mysteries in the fictional city of New Purrt, Calif. Lugar’s first novel was published in May 2017, and the third, “Katz Pajamas: The Catastic Carnival Caper,” was published this year.

Lugar, a Fishers resident, started writing novels while working as a screenwriter in Los Angeles. He and his wife, Elisabeth, moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Regent University in 1994. They dreamed of becoming sitcom writers.

“Timing wasn’t the best because around that time, reality shows were taking over and sitcoms were dying,” he said.

In 2005, Lugar and his wife moved back to Indiana with their two young children.

After a brief time in real estate, Lugar began adjunct teaching at Anderson University in 2012. He is now a full-time associate professor of cinema and media arts.

He eventually became a sitcom writer for “Wanda at Large” on Fox. Lugar had already published two books independently through the Indianapolis Business Journal’s publishing arm and Amazon before beginning Katz Pajamas. Katz prints on demand when an Amazon order is placed. If Lugar edits the script, all he has to do is upload the new manuscript.

“There’s that neat opportunity to share that there’s a different way to write and publish than what we’ve been used to,” he said.

Lugar plans to continue the series and he wants to start a young adult novel.

Updike subs in key ‘Poppins’ role

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Juddson Updike, playing Bert in “Mary Poppins” was a dream role.

“It was one of those roles THEATER I’ve always wanted to do since I was a kid because of the movie,” Updike said. “Dick Van Dyke (who played Bert) is my personal acting hero. He’s the perfect performer, in my eyes.”

Although it’s not how he wanted to get the role, the Carmel resident did play Bert at Grace Church’s recent production at its Noblesville campus.

On the opening Oct. 26 show, Troy Johnson, who was playing Bert, broke his leg near the end of the performance.

“He was coming back on stage, missed his footing and got a spiral fracture in his legs,” show producer Amy Christie said.

“One of the actors about to go on stage pulled him back so he wouldn’t get trampled on.”

At that same time, Updike, 28, was performing in his second-to-last performance of Civic Theatre’s “Anything Goes” at The Tarkington in Carmel.

His parents, Jim and Melinda Updike, were both performing in the “Mary Poppins”

production and informed him Johnson was injured.

Late that night, Updike got a call from the musical organizers. Updike had previously auditioned for the role of Bert at Grace.

“They wanted to know if I could learn the role in 12 hours,” Updike said. “It was fortunate that that closing night of ‘Anything Goes’ was at 5 o’clock instead of 7, because if it was 7 o’clock, there would have been no way.”

Canned Heat to perform at Vogue

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It’s been more than 49 years since Canned Heat played Woodstock, but drummer Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra CONCERT said the band is incredibly busy.

“The older we get the more people want us to play,” said de la Parra, now 72.

Canned Heat will perform at The Vogue in Broad Ripple at 8 p.m. Dec. 2. The band was formed by blues historians and record collectors Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson and Bob “The Bear” Hite in 1966. Larry Taylor and de la Parra joined in 1967 and are still with the band.

Canned Heat is best known for hits “On the Road Again,” “Let’s Work Together” and “Going Up the Country.”

The band will celebrate the 50-year anniversary of its Woodstock performance in the summer of 2019. “Going Up the Country” has been used in Geico commercials.

“We’re still fighting for our royalties,” de la Parra said. “We were young and wild and didn’t know many of the things we were signing. Bands from my era got ripped off back and forth by record companies, agents.

It was a tough era to be musicians.”

Wilson, a songwriter and vocalist, died Sept. 3, 1970 at age 27 in what was either a suicide or accidental barbiturate overdose.

Hite died of an overdose between sets at 38 in 1981. Another founder, guitarist Henry Vestine, died of a heart attack at 52 in 1997.

Several other members have died through the years.

“Larry and I were the trained musicians, and we’re the ones still here,” de la Parra said. “Part of it is luck and part of it is we didn’t abuse ourselves the way the rest of the guys did.”

Bakersfield offers plenty of taco options, including Al Pastor, left, Pollo Asado, top, and Baja Shrimp.

Bakersfield

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 334 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Tacos Price: $3-$4 per taco Anna’s take: Bakersfield is an excellent option before or after a Colts game, or if you just want to experience a bit of the downtown Indianapolis atmosphere. I ordered three tacos – an Al Pastor, a Pollo Asado and a Baja Shrimp. Each comes on a tortilla handmade in-house and are à la carte. Bakersfiled offers a variety of tacos, including carnitas, fish, cochinita pibil, hongos, huitlacoche and short rib.

The Al Pastor is stuffed with chile-marinated pork, pickled white onion and topped

with pineapple and cilantro.

The Pollo Asado includes marinated grilled chicken, black beans, crunchy diced jicama, pickled white onion, tomatillo crema and is topped with cilantro. It is a milder option for those with an aversion to spicy foods.

The Baja Shrimp taco comes with crispy, battered shrimp, chipotle lime crema, guacamole, red cabbage, pickled fresno peppers and chives. This definitely had a little bit more kick from the chipotle lime crema, so keep that in mind when ordering.

My favorite thing about Bakersfield, besides the bustling city atmosphere, is the handmade tortillas. The tacos come with a lime wedge to squeeze for extra zest.

Suggested pairings: Bakersfield is known for its margaritas, and nothing pairs better with tacos than a margarita. I ordered the Bakersfield Margarita ($9), which is crafted with El Jimador Blanco, triple sec, agave nectar, fresh lemons and limes and comes with a salted rim. Pitchers also are available for $34.

Blueprint for Improvement: Open-concept kitchen transformation Commentary by Larry Greene

AFTER SOLUTIONS

After

Before

The goal was to create a larger kitchen that was more functional for the homeowner while bringing the space up to date.

1. The biggest change came from expanding the kitchen into the existing pantry and enlarging the kitchen island.

2. All of the cabinetry was replaced and more cabinetry was added. Cabinet accessories were incorporated for more convenient storage.

3. The pantry door was relocated, making it more accessible from the kitchen.

4. The kitchen island, which was previously two levels, was converted to one level for a more modern and functional design.

5. A dry bar was added to a formerly unused space and the built-in buffet was enlarged.

Both created more cabinet storage.

6. A larger window was added above the sink, bringing more natural light into the kitchen.

Background Info: This home, built in the early 2000s, is in the Delaware Trace neighborhood of Carmel. The homeowners wanted to stay in the home for several more years but wanted to make the space their own, aesthetically and functionally.

BEFORE PROBLEMS The focus of this project was the kitchen, because although the home had plenty of square footage, the kitchen was dark and confined. The layout of the space didn’t work well for the homeowner and storage was limited. The materials were dated and lacked appeal.

Remembering Mahatma Gandhi

DISPATCHES

Commentary by Don Knebel Old Delhi, India, is one of the most chaotic and noisy places on earth. Ironically, it is adjacent to an unusually serene area honoring Mohandas Gandhi, TRAVEL whose campaign of non-violent civil disobedience led to Indian independence, earning him the honorific Mahatma (the Venerable).

On August 15, 1947, the United Kingdom granted independence to British India, dividing it between largely Hindu India and largely Muslim Pakistan. Gandhi, who opposed the partition, spent the day — celebrated as Indian Independence Day — fasting to try to end the deadly violence between Hindus and Muslims precipitated by the partition.

On Jan. 30, 1948, a Hindu nationalist fatally shot Gandhi at close range in the garden of a large house where he was staying. The assassin claimed that Gandhi’s tolerance of India’s Muslims was the primary cause of the sectarian violence, which left about 500,000 dead. The next day, Gandhi’s body was carried on a modified gun carrier from where he died to Raj Ghat, a traditional cremation area 5 miles away along the sacred Yamuna River. Two million grieving Indians

of all religious traditions joined the funeral procession. Gandhi’s body was cremated on Jan. 31, 1948, and his ashes placed in urns that have found their way around the world.

Today, Raj Ghat is maintained as a memorial to Gandhi. Visitors remove their shoes before entering a grassy area enclosed by stone walls and make their way to a black granite platform that marks the spot where Gandhi was cremated. An eternal flame burns along one end of the platform, which is inscribed with “He Ram” (“Oh God”), Gan-

Pumpkin stain removal — A jack-o’lantern set outside on a wood stool will most likely leave behind a moldy stain as it decomposes. To remove it, dampen a microfiber cloth with warm water and a squirt of toothpaste, then rub it on the stain in small circles until it lifts. Once the stain is gone, reapply wood polish.

Did you stain your clothes cleaning up the outdoor mess? Scrub the fresh stain and rinse in cold water. If the stain is set, soak it in cool water with detergent for 30 minutes, then pre-treat it with a clothing stain remover, later washing it with the hottest recommended setting.

Repeat as needed.

From the staff: Around the table

Current kicks off holiday pastry contest

Now in our 12th year, Current has published a holiday and gift guide since its inception.

Each year, there’s a theme. In 2015, we went artsy with “An Artful Holiday.” In 2016, we focused on the state’s 200th birthday.

Last year, we went around the world in our own cities and towns, celebrating the cultures and traditions that make us vibrant.

This year’s theme, as you’ll see through the pages of this guide, focuses on food. This is the time of the year when some of our best memories can be had around the dinner table, but we’re also catering (see what we did there?) to our readers with this theme, too. Based on independent research, we know you want to read about food, drinks and dining. Much of our daily online and weekly print coverage can be tied back to food in some way, whether it’s a new restaurant opening or a recipe submitted by a reader.

Not all items in this guide are about food, though. We pride ourselves on putting out the most comprehensive guide of holiday activities in our coverage areas. From a holiday-themed story time at the library to a citywide celebration of the season that draws thousands, we hope to see you there.

It’s also that time of year for us to reflect on what we’re thankful for –you, the reader, of course, along with a hardworking staff and advertisers who believe in us. We wish you a spectacular holiday season and a Merry Christmas.

New this year, Current Publishing is asking you, our readers, to send your most beautiful and best-tasting pastry recipes our way. If you’re reading this, the competition has begun.

From now to Dec. 7, we are accepting recipes. Finalists will be chosen and will have their recipes judged by a professional chef. For this portion of the contest, finalists must bring a small portion of their pastry to the Current Publishing offices, 30 S. Range Line Rd., Carmel, for the chef to sample. The chef will make his or her final choice, and the winner, in addition to having their recipe featured in an upcoming edition of Current, will receive a gift card.

Here’s what we need from you: • Your name • An email address or phone number where you can reached • Your city of residence • The full recipe for the item in which you choose to enter (ingredients and measurements, directions, etc.)

How to enter: Send your information and recipe to Sadie Hunter at sadie@youarecurrent.com before Dec. 7.

Current had asked the furniture store at 12345 Old Meridian St. for some assistance in setting a holiday dining table, and Nick Williams, the store’s designer, went above and beyond to accommodate us. John Kirk’s Christmas Treause Shop is now open. (Photo by Sadie Hunter)

How to set your dining table

DISPATCHES

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Are you hosting a holiday dinner this year and want to be sure everything is in its correct place?

We’re referencing the professionals for this one, none other than The Emily Post Institute.

Emily says though many have reservations about setting a table or even using a proper place setting, it’s not as difficult as it seems.

The basic rule is that utensils are placed in the order of use from the outside in, proving Kathy Bates was right in that scene in “Titanic” where Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t sure which spoon to use, never having been to a formal dinner.

A second rule, with only a few exceptions, is that forks go to the left of the plate, and knives (blade toward the dinner plate) and spoons go to the right.

Third, bread and butter always go the the top left of the dinner plate, and drinks always to the top right.

Village of West Clay tree lighting — The Village of WestClay Owners Association will host the largest tree lighting ceremony in Hamilton County at 6 p.m. Nov. 24. More than 30,000 lights will be displayed. The evening’s festivities will include a performance by the Carmel Holiday Singers, prior to the lighting, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy rides in a horse-drawn carriage or walk to the village restaurants. Owners Association President Greg Maiers, original village resident and World War II veteran Steve Terry and B.J. Nichols of ReisNichols Jewelers officially will light the tree at 6 p.m. As many as 1,000 people are expected to join in the festivities at the village’s meeting house, 2000 N. New Market St., Carmel.

Noblesville Holiday Market —The Noblesville Main Street Holiday Market will return from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 1 to the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. This event is free. Vendors will have original art, quality crafts, holiday decorations, vintage collectables, homemade food favorites, gifts and more. Learn more at noblesvillemainstreet.org.

Community band holiday concert — Noblesville High School Performing Arts will celebrate the season by hosting the Hamilton County Community Band Holiday Concert Dec. 16. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. at the auditorium at Noblesville High School, 18111 Cumberland Rd., Noblesville. This event is free to the public.

The final rule is to only set the table with utensils you will use. No soup? No soup spoon.

A guide to wine pairings

Commentary by Elizabeth Morse

Have you started planning meals for holiday celebrations and are confused about which wine to serve? Read on.

Turkey is the star of the show, even when there are so many flavors and spices on a Thanksgiving table. You can’t go wrong with a rosé. Don’t’ worry, just because it’s pink doesn’t equate to sweet wine. Try this beauty with a crisp, berry finish: Les Trois Couronnes Côtes- du-Rhône Rosé, about $12 at Market District. Another delicious choice is Clean Slate Riesling. It’s easy to find, only $10 and is a spicy, earthy, German wine from the famed Mosel region (my fave).

Latkes are a must when celebrating Hanukkah. These potato pancakes are a perfect match with Italian Prosecco. An easy-to-find, delicious option comes from Mionetto, Prosecco di Treviso Brut Gold Label. The golden apple flavors complement the applesauce generally served with these little yummies. A bottle is around $13.

Fish patties are included in most Kwanzaa festivities and a crisp, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc would be best. I’m digging Jules Taylor Sauvignon Blanc from

Costco, and it’s only $12. Huge citrus flavors and enough acid to cut through the fried cakes.

Ham is great with a fresh, fruity red and Mommessin Beaujolais Nouveau is a tasty and cost-effective option at $10. You’re having prime rib for Christmas dinner? Black Stallion Cabernet Sauvignon is $30, easy to find, and offers dark fruit, toasted oak with great depth of flavor. Duck instead?

Good grammar is the life of the holiday party Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Now a tradition of the city, children in fourth grade and younger can drop their letters to Santa in the special mailboxes to be sure they arrive safely at the North Pole. All letters must be dropped off by 4:30 p.m. Dec. 10. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Office hours for city hall and the parks department are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

As soon as someone identifies himself as an expert in grammar, you almost always can safely assume he’s going to judge you anytime you end a sentence with a preposition. That’s the quickest way to get on the naughty list!

Good grammar is wonderful because it opens doors—to job interviews, romantic relationships and even elegant holiday parties where people drink mulled wine and feast on roasted chestnuts. By improving your grammar, your Facebook friends will rightly assume you’ve started buying one of those brand new Lexuses (Lexi?) with a giant bow on it for your spouse.

When you want to sign your family’s collective name on a holiday card, how do you write it? Is it “The Millers” or “The Miller’s?”

Everyone likes a good eggnog-infused party (after all, that’s why you’re improving your grammar, right?), and apostrophes are like sentence confetti, adding a fun flair to your scintillating syntax. But a misplaced apostrophe is like confetti at a funeral—inappropriate and impossible to undo.

To make your last name plural, never add an apostrophe. Just don’t do it. The Millers went to the ice skating rink is correct. Adding an apostrophe to your last name makes it possessive: Did you see The Millers’ cool new inflatable Santa?

If your last name ends with s, z, x, ch or sh, simply add es to make it plural: Season’s greetings from The Foxes. If your last name ends in any other letter (including y), simply add an s: The Honeycutts are incredibly photogenic.

So, if you’re considering adding your family’s name on the back of your sleigh, write The Millers. Adding an apostrophe will simply get you uninvited from those swanky holiday parties, leaving you sadly to drink your mulled wine alone while you wistfully stalk everyone else’s happy Christmas sweater-filled photos on Facebook.
