Two Noblesville residents earn Community Pillar Awards

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Nancy Chance started the Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County from her home in 1980. recognition So, it seems fitting that the Noblesville resident and GSN executive director was one of the first three winners of the Legacy Fund’s first Community Pillar Awards. Chance won the Family Success award.

The Pillar Awards honor individuals doing visionary work to solve pressing challenges, build opportunity and equity, and create a brighter future for Hamilton County. The awards were announced at the Legacy Fund Celebration of Philanthropy Nov. 9 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel.

Although the three winners knew they were being honored, they didn’t know they would be given $5,000 grants to donate to a nonprofit of their choice.

“I’m very humbled,” Chance said.

The other Community Pillar Awards went to Darren Peterson, also of Noblesville, in the Inspiring Places category, and Alex Volyk, Carmel, in College Readiness and Success.

Chance is passing along the $5,000 gift to Recycled Cycles, a new program in Westfield that reclaims and recycles gently used bicycles for Hamilton County and prepares them for families who may not be able to afford a new or used bicycle.

Chance said these are all volunteers who build ramps for the disabled in the summer who wanted to be put to work year-round.

“They all have an interest in bikes, and they do great work,” Chance said. “They’ve already refurbished 475 bikes for this year’s Christmas. It goes to at-risk families in Hamilton County. So it’s a way for kids to get out and moving. We want kids to be healthier.”

The bicycles also will be given to college students who need transportation.

“I’m passionate about taking care of peo-

ple,” Chance said.

Peterson was nominated by Nickel Plate Arts Director Aili McGill.

Peterson, in turn, said he would give the $5,000 grant to Nickel Plate Arts for its arts programming along the Nickel Plate Rail Line, which runs through the communities of Fishers, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, Atlanta and Tipton.

McGill said it will go to support new community initiatives, most likely in Noblesville because that is Peterson’s passion.

“I’ve known Darren for many years. He worked with my father for a long time, and it’s been fun to watch Darren transform over the past several years into someone who really is a community leader. He’s always been a business leader. He really wants to invest in the place he lives in. It’s inspiring.”

Peterson’s business, Noblesville-based Peterson Architecture, facilitated the Crosswalk Art project with Nickel Plate Arts, where four Noblesville crosswalks were redesigned by local artists, including Peterson.

“With all the great things Nickel Plate does, I want to see more of that,” said Peterson, an Nickel Plate Arts board member.

Autism services center opens in Noblesville

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Shaya Bates loves the collaboration of Noblesville’s new autism services center.

“What drew me to wanting to bring BY YOUR SIDE to this area NOW OPEN was that I really like the collaborative therapy approach between the families and the therapy team, so every kiddo that received services through BY YOUR SIDE, there is a parent-training component to each program,” Bates said. “I also really like the flexibility of the parents being able to come in and participate in their child’s therapy. We try to get the whole family involved.”

Bates is the center lead for BY YOUR SIDE Autism Therapy Services, which opened in August. The center, 1108 S. Ninth St., Noblesville, held its official open house Nov. 11.

BY YOUR SIDE started in Illinois, and this is the first center in Indiana.

Bates, a Noblesville resident, has been doing ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) in the area for more than 10 years. As a boardcertified behavior analyst, she supervises ABA therapists.

Bates said if the autistic child is having trouble with siblings at home, they will

make special trips to the house.

“For instance, last week I went with a family to church because they were saying their kid gets overwhelmed at church,” she said. “They might be doing well at the center; that doesn’t make too much of an impact if we can’t translate and help them participate out in the community and events.”

Bates said the ABA goal is to transition where the child is going to continue to learn but is going to be out in the community with family and peers.

“I also like in the BY YOUR SIDE centers they recreate natural environments,” Bates said. “We have community spaces which helps to foster that collaboration again and helps them socialize. It just occurs naturally, and they’re not always sitting at a table one-on-be with their therapist. We have a room that looks like a living room.

Our kitchen has an actual dining set. It’s not everything feeling too sterile.”

There are two registered behavior technicians and one ABA therapist.

“We can accommodate 10 to 15 kids in this building,” Bates said.

Little Chicago Road Trail now open news@currentinnoblesville.com In north Noblesville, the Little Chicago Road Trail is now open.

The 8-foot-wide, multi-use trail that runs from Ind. 38 to South Harrecreation bour’s Elderberry Road entrance features 2,700 feet of new trail and the widening of 2,500 feet of existing 4-foot sidewalk.

The city broke ground on the project Aug. 17.

The new trail connects to the city’s existing trail network and continues south along Hazel Dell Parkway to 146th Street.

“We are increasing Noblesville’s trail availability and connectivity, which accomplishes a

goal of making the city more walkable,” Mayor John Ditslear said. “Making trail connections means residents have more options and longer stretches of trails to be outdoors and active.”

Little Chicago Road is the first of five trailconnector projects the city will complete this year. Other 8-foot wide trail projects under construction include: • 460 feet on 156th Street, east of Summer Road.

• 405 feet on Cumberland Road, north of SMC Boulevard.

• 425 feet on Greenfield Avenue, west of Summer Road.

• Connecting a small gap on Stony Creek Trail, east of Regal Cinemas Noblesville 10.

Roger called Shelbourne Knee Center. At age 62 he didn’t want to hang up the soccer cleats or give up the trail runs with his dog Cowboy. And after a successful total knee replacement it looks like he won’t have to. In Roger’s words, “The biggest thing is I’m walking pain free.” And for Roger, those are pretty nice words to live by.

A recent Shelbourne Knee Center study found that patients took 85% less pain medicine and had improved pain control after undergoing Shelbourne’s knee replacement process versus the standard protocol. It’s all about getting you off medication and on with your life. In Roger’s case that means kicking soccer balls and getting back on the trail. He’s always had the heart to do it. Now he’s also got the knee. To learn more or to schedule an appointment visit eCommunity.com/FixKnee. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

Guerin makes memorable run

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Needing a break, Claire Gavin sat out her junior soccer season at Guerin Catholic High School. soccer “I wanted to come back because I loved the high school environment,” the Zionsville resident said.

Gavin is certainly glad she returned for her final go-around.

The senior goalkeeper, in her first varsity season, helped the No. 4 Golden Eagles reach the Class 3A state championship match before falling to No. 1 Penn 2-0 Oct. 27 at the Butler University campus in Indianapolis. Guerin had 15 shutouts, including 11 in a row, before the streak ended with a 4-1 victory over Columbus North in the semistate. This was the first year for three classes in soccer. Penn won the Class 2A title in 2016 and was runner-up in 2015.

“We were super-excited to play such a great team, and we were ready for the challenge,” said Gavin, who will play for Marian University next season.

Although the Noblesville school would be a Class 2A team based on enrollment, it petitioned the Indiana High School Athletic Association to play in the 3A class with

Head coach Jonathan McClure said excellent leadership was the key to the 16-2-1 record for the team.

“We have 10 fantastic seniors that set the tone for the season early,” McClure said.

McClure, who was Guerin's coach from 2008 to 2013, returned as the Golden Eagles head coach before the 2016 season. Only four girls had varsity experience prior to the 2016 season.

Downtown for the holidays Ice plaza opens this weekend as city preps for annual seasonal events

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Both new and old events will round out this year’s holiday season in Noblesville.

New features like the ice rink at the cover story city’s newest park will give residents a chance to do something new downtown, while local businesses, the chamber, Noblesville Main Street and other organizations will offer various holiday activities, old and new.

The City of Noblesville will open its outdoor Ice Plaza Nov. 24 at Federal Hill Commons.

This is the new park’s first winter season after opening in April.

“Federal Hill Commons was designed to be a year-round park so we want to offer a winter activity in our public space for people to enjoy this great downtown asset,” Mayor John Ditslear said. “The idea of ice skating came from public feedback from when we were designing the park.”

The Noblesville Parks Dept. has spent the past several weeks working to bring the ice rink to the park’s Market Plaza. The rink measures approximately 50 feet by 80 feet.

The temporary ice rink will open at 11 a.m. Nov. 24 and will be open daily until Jan. 8, 2018, except on Christmas Day. Special event and themed nights will include food trucks and other fun activities starting at 6 p.m. on Fridays.

“Instead of offering sessions, our Ice Plaza allows skaters to enjoy the ice for as long as they want,” Parks Director Brandon Bennett said. “Admission is all day long, so after skating for a bit, patrons can visit any of our fantastic nearby restaurants and stores and return to skate some more without having to pay more.”

Advance tickets may be purchased online at federalhillcommons.com/iceplaza and will allow participants to bypass the ticket line at the ice rink. The rink also will be available for private rentals before 1:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday between Nov. 27 and Dec. 21, when corporate events, birthday parties or holiday events can be accommodated.

From Nov. 24 through Dec. 24, Ice Plaza hours will be 3 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday. After Christmas, hours will be extended during winter break. It will open daily at 11 a.m. and close at 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and at 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The rink will close at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve and 8 p.m. New Year’s Eve. Admission rates are $12. Guests may bring their own skates if they prefer, but renting skates is included in the admission fee. Admission rates of $10 are available for groups of 10 or more and also to those patrons that participate on special themed skate nights. Concessions also will be available for purchase during rink hours.

For additional information about the Ice Plaza, daily hours, advanced tickets, special events and sponsorship opportunities, visit federalhillcommons.com.

Greatness of Doo

ob s e r v ation

This is not that

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Every pre-school kid understands the basics of negotiation. Jill wants Jane’s toy. Jill knows that taking Jane’s toy will probably be resisted by Jane – and she has older siblings and is a bit tough on the playground.

So Jill, ever the resourceful one, finds some random and discarded bauble on the classroom’s floor, picks it up and presents it to Jane. “Here is a fine toy – a pleasant substitution for the one presently bringing you joy.” Assured in her own clever swap, Jill takes the trinket from Jane, attempting to replace it with her own. Not impressed by the sleight-of-hand, Jane cries foul. “This is not that,” the sleighted toddler exclaims.

Not surprisingly, Jane hoped to set the value of her own property. She held the object, and she held it in highest esteem.

Jill agreed and hoped to make Jane’s toy her own. OK. Then let Jill bid for the article and let it find its own worth. At some point, the amount Jill is willing to pay would meet the amount Jane is willing to sell. If not, Jill is left unsatisfied. So, what is the problem?

The years pass, and pre-school becomes kindergarten, then middle school, then, almost in an instant, graduate school. Like a commercial for a time-traveling bank pen, we age quickly and imperceptibly. So as our bodies have matured, did our intellect keep pace? Do we seek fair exchange with those nearest to us? Or do we, like the aforementioned, single-minded toddler, hope to grab what we like, leaving behind that which has little or no value to us? If so, how can we expect to maintain relationships if we are routinely giving less than we take?

Even more so, if we value so thinly the barter we offer to others?

IPTG can help exes agree Commentary by Betsy Sommers Although the holidays are a busy and stressful time for everyone, the holiday season can be a parholidays ticularly difficult time for families affected by divorce. Holiday parenting time is an especially challenging issue for parents to deal with because both parents will inevitably lose time with their child.

Ideally, you and your ex should come to a holiday arrangement ahead of time that works for all involved, most importantly the child. Parents who are unable to agree on a holiday parenting schedule on their own should look to the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines for guidance.

Per the guidelines that took effect March 1, 2013, Christmas break begins two hours after the child is released from school on the last day before break and ends at 6 p.m. on the day before school resumes. Christmas vacation is split evenly between the parents. The guidelines ensure that parents switch off each year as to who gets the child during the first half of break and who gets the child during the second half. In odd-numbered years such as this year, the child spends the first half of his/her vacation with the non-custodial parent and the second half

with the custodial parent. New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are not included as separate holidays under the IPTG. As for the actual holiday, both parents are in luck. In years when Christmas does not fall during a parent’s half of the break, that parent can have the child from noon to 9:00 p.m. on Christmas Day. This year, for example, a custodial parent with a child in the Carmel school district will have the second half of Christmas Day. Importantly, the above holiday schedule only applies to children age 3 and older. For children younger than 3, a noncustodial parent’s parenting time ranges from two to 10 hours on scheduled holidays, according to age.

If you haven’t already, reach out to your ex to confirm the holiday schedule now so you aren’t arguing about exchange dates and times and your child knows what to expect ahead of the holiday.

I asked my husband Doo what I should write about this week. He replied simply, “My greatness.” Hmmm. A humor whole article about the awesomeness of Doo, even though he drives me crazy? Well, it is Thanksgiving.

Look, after 21 years of marriage, it’s fair to say I don’t always appreciate my husband. As frequent readers of this column know, I am easily irritated by the way his body processes garlic and red wine, his inability to refrain from throwing his stuff on the kitchen table and his commitment to boys weekends during hunting season. But he’s smart, he’s a good person and I find his bald but bearded look incredibly sexy.

At the moment, Doo is in the kitchen making eggs, completely oblivious to his plate of orange peels from last night which are shrouded in a cloud of fruit flies. But no doubt he’ll offer me some and then make a hilarious remark about how these eggs are much easier than I am.

That’s really what I love about Doo. He puts up with my passive-aggressive nagging and finds ways to make me laugh at myself. He is the funniest man I know, except for his friend MH and one of my brothers-in-law, SJ, and he truly is an amazing dad.

Yes, we occasionally disagree on the parenting front, but I recognize our kids are lucky to have a father who cares so much about their upbringing that he’ll take on this fiery ginger mama bear when he thinks I’m wrong. Of course, I never am, but I appreciate his courageous dedication to our children’s welfare.

So thank you, Doo, for your greatness!

Peace out.

Council OKs Millers Walk

advertorial

news@currentnoblesville.com The Noblesville Common Council unanimously approved a new residential subdivision, to be built by Beazer Homes of Indiana, during its Nov. 7 development meeting.

Millers Walk will consist of 166, two-family dwellings known as “villas” on 83 lots. The development is a 59.5-acre site south of Pleasant Street, north of Town and Country Boulevard and east of Stony Creek Marketplace.

“The infrastructure is in place, and I believe this is a good product line and a nice fit for the area at the right time, especially with all the shopping and dining opportunities within walking distance,” councilor Brian Ayer said. “Millers Walk enhances the city’s housing diversity as directed by the recent housing market study and addresses an under-served residential product that is needed and desired in our community.”

According to Beazer Homes, the villas will range in price from $250,000 to $300,000, depending on upgrades and amenities. The developer also plans to have additional architectural enhancements to corner and perimeter lots.

The site plan incorporates walkability for pedestrians throughout the community and connects to the city’s adjacent trail network to nearby retail and commercial

uses in Stony Creek Marketplace and the planned Midland Trace Trail extension. The subdivision will include an outdoor community gathering space that overlooks the natural preservation/wetland area.

“The Millers Walk project makes strides to meet goals outlined in the comprehensive master plan and the housing study,” Noblesville Planning Director Sarah Reed said. “This project entails a housing type that is not widely available in Noblesville and allows residents to stay in the city through the range of their life stages.”

As part of its approval, the council also granted the development a zoning change to R4 (moderate to high density, one- and two-family residential district) from planned business.

Over the past several decades investors have seen “once-in-ageneration” market events seemingly taking place every few years. These erratic market movements are the result of a fundamental change that has occurred in the nature of the stock market. The catalyst for the change?

Improving technology over the past two decades has dramatically improved the speed and efficiency with which institutional investors (hedge funds, pensions, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, etc.) are able to move vast sums of money in and out of securities. Computers can now trade with one another instantly and anonymously, allowing even the largest investors to sell positions rapidly. The stock market’s increased long-run volatility is the unintended consequences of this change.

The rise of computer-driven trading has left the stock market increasingly susceptible to a “negative feedbackloop” style crash, where automated selling generates more automated selling - sending indexes plunging.

Barron’s magazine warned in its cover story on Oct. 16th, that assets being run by computer driven “quantitative strategies” have doubled since 2007 and now total nearly 1 trillion dollars. It warns that when asset prices do start to fall, these quantitative portfolios are designed to automatically sell positions to avoid losses for their users.” Main Street investors, it’s feared, will fare much worse.

Similar to what happened in 2008, it will be the retail “Buy-and-Hold” investors that again bear the brunt of the losses.

Today we are in the midst of an upswing and all is calm in the market.

The synchronized behavior of quantitative investors has depressed short term volatility and left equities with remarkably high valuations.

We believe the unusually high equity prices that we see today are a function of these large investors buying into an uptrend without regard for fundamentals. When the current uptrend reverses and the same investors seek to exit their positions, the resulting price drops could rival or exceed the losses experienced in 2008.

At ETF Momentum Investing, LLC we believe the best way to protect yourself from a computer controlled market is to have a risk management system in place that automatically reduces exposure to risk assets as prices drop - and to have the system in place before the next major selloff.

We developed our investment process working with real clients, before, during and after the global financial crisis. To minimize the risk of losses for our clients we use defensive quantitative strategies to systematically trade diverse asset classes ranging from U.S. equities to cryptocurrencies. We help investors of all sizes reduce risk and increase returns by following trends in global assets.

Riverview Health’s new MRI reduces exam times

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com A new state-of-the-art MRI machine is helping Riverview Health patients’ comfort level during the equipment magnetic resonance imaging scan.

The Toshiba Vantage Titan 1.5T MRI was delivered July 31. Technical installation was completed Sept. 18, with test patients and application training from Sept. 18 to 30. Patients began using the new MRI Oct. 1 at the Noblesville hospital.

Megan Wiles, executive director of Riverview Health Foundation, said the foundation raised more than $700,000 to purchase the MRI. “T-slip technology is a new and promising method for non-contrast MR angiography developed by Toshiba,” said Stevie Aley, MRI supervisor at Riverview Health.

“T-slip is a time spatial labeling inversion pulse that provides visualization of bright blood vessels without having to inject a special dye for vascular diagnosis. This is a very helpful tool in obtaining large vessel anatomy imaging on patients with low renal functions that cannot have contrast.”

Aley said the average scan time on the older MRI was 45 to 60 minutes.

“With the new Toshiba, the average scan time is 30 to 45 minutes, depending on patient cooperation and the physician’s order,” she said. “Extensive or multiple MRIs will still take time to get a conclusive adequate study.”

The Titan 1.5T MRI is the shortest magnet with the largest clinical field of view currently available in the industry. The

first Titan was released in 2012 with many updates since then.

“Riverview Health is one of the first sites nationwide to receive the newest 4.0 software package,” Aley said. “The magnet is only 1.4 meters in length, and is 71 centimeters in circumference, which is an 18 percent larger opening than other 1.5T systems. Many of the exams can now be done with the patient being put in feet first helping with claustrophobia.

It is built with patient care as the main focus by increasing comfort for bariatric patients with a table weight limit up to 440 pounds. Another major improvement

by Toshiba is less scanning noise. Quiet technology called Pianissimo has vacuumed the gradients of the MRI to reduce acoustic noise. Music of choice is also provided to the patient through headphones or earbuds to help make the exam more comfortable.”

With the addition of the new MRI, Riverview Health now has two machines, which allows more access for patients requiring testing. When Riverview Health Westfield Hospital opens in 2018, the imaging center there will have the same MRI machine.

Brickman set to perform ‘A Joyful Christmas’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It truly is the most wonderful time of the year for Jim Brickman.

Brickman, who said theater Christmas is his favorite time of the year to perform, will present “A Joyful Christmas” at 8 p.m. Nov. 25 at The Palladium in Carmel.

“It’s all the hits, some new songs and Christmas classics,” he said. “It’s a brand new show this year. What’s so great about the show is there is no band, so it goes wherever the feel and vibe takes it.

That’s what is so great.”

Thus, the setlist will vary a bit from show to show.

Brickman is joined on stage by vocalist Ann Cochran and violinist Tracy Silverman.

“It’s just the three of us. So much talent we don’t need anyone else,” Brickman said with a laugh.

Brickman said his new album, “A Joyful Christmas,” features several guest stars, including Cochran, Russell Watson, Dick Van Dyke, Jane Lynch, Leslie Odom Jr. and Five for Fighting. It was released earlier this month.

“I’m singing as well, so it’s very happy, joyful music,” said Brickman, who has twice been nominated for a Grammy.

Brickman said he doesn’t typically perform cover songs, except at Christmas.

“It’s all my own music the rest of the year,” he said. “I have too many songs that people want to hear, luckily.”

Brickman has shared duets with some other famous singers.

“When it’s someone like Johnny Mathis, or most recently Kenny Rogers, it’s still ‘pinch me’ moments because I’ve admired these people for my all life. Getting a chance to have them sing my song or my lyrics is just special. You always learn something. You always take something positive from those experiences.

It’s a great way to put really great music out in the world.”

This is Brickman’s 10th Christmas album.

“I tour the most time at Christmas and then in the Valentine’s Day area,” Brick-

Anderson to join IWS Dec. 3 editorial@youarecurrent.com Soprano Jessamyn Anderson, a 2011 Carmel High School graduate, will be featured in the Indiana Wind Symphony’s “Joy of the Season” performance at 7 p.m. Dec. 3 at The Palladium in Carmel.

Anderson made her professional debut with IWS Anderson at The Palladium and has made several performances since then.

Among the numbers will be Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride” and “A Christmas Festival.”

Kenneth Soper’s “Jingle Bells March,” Sean O’Laughlin’s “Joy to the Season,” Adolphe Adam’s “O Holy Night” and Jim Stephenson’s “Bassoon IT Will Be Christmas” are among other songs that will be featured.

man said. “It’s really the performing arts center season that’s when touring is the heaviest for me. I have played with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (at Conner Prairie) a couple times.”

Devoted Palladium fan This will be the fourth time Brickman has played at The Palladium.

“I love playing there. It’s such a beautiful place to play,” he said. “Just the feel and environment is so great. It’s such a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays.

It’s just a joyful place to come.”

This will launch Brickman’s Holiday tour, which lasts until New Year’s Day. Brickman is the best-selling solo pianist of this era, earning 21 No. 1 albums and 32 Top 20 radio singles in Billboard

Magazine.

Brickman has had a syndicated, fourhour weekly radio show, “Your Weekend with Jim Brickman,” for 20 years.

“It’s a lifestyle show, music, food, health, money, fashion and entertainment,” he said. “I have celebrity interviews and artist spotlights, things like that.”

After this year’s production, “A Beef & Boards Christmas” is going on a hiatus, Stark said. Opening up the holiday time slot allows Beef & Boards the opportunity to stage other seasonal productions the theater has wanted to present. “‘Elf, The Musical’ is coming to our stage for the first time in 2018,” Stark said. “‘A Beef & Boards Christmas’ has been our own original Christmas greeting to our guests for 25 years, but we hope to introduce even more families to Beef & Boards and become a part of their holiday tradition.”

Blueprint for Improvement: House transformation continued Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background Info: This 1980s home is on a beautiful lot right on Crooked Stick golf course in Carmel. The last article described the exterior updates of the home. This week we highlight the many interior updates needed as well.

The goal of the interior remodel was to open up the lower level, remove walls and create a new master suite. The design team included architectural design by Goldberg Design Group.

1. The largest interior transformation came from removing and relocating the staircases that were originally between the kitchen and living room to create an open concept on the lower level.

2. We converted a golf simulation room into a first level master suite and added a large master bathroom. Within the master bathroom is a walk-in shower, a stand-alone tub and a walk-in closet.

3. Kitchen updates included flooring, cabinets, countertops and the lighting plan.

We also extended the island for casual seating and prep space, in addition to adding more functional storage.

After

Before problems The entire lower level of the home was closed off, making each room appear much smaller than it was. The kitchen was dated and lacked efficient storage solutions. The master suite was small and located on the second story. There were many unused rooms in the home that lacked functionality.

Between (or among) holidays Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Hoodoos at Bryce Canyon National Park. (Photo by Jen Knebel)

The hoodoos of Bryce Canyon Commentary by Don Knebel Many Americans know they can find Old Faithful, El Capitan and the Grand Canyon in a national park. Only a relative handful knows they can also find hootravel doos in a national park. That is a shame. Hoodoos are among the most spectacular geologic formations in the United States.

More than 60 million years ago, what is now North America was split by an inland seaway connecting the Arctic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Over millions of years, various kinds and colors of clay and soft rock settled at the bottom of the seaway.

Beginning about 50 million years ago, shifting tectonic plates raised the sea bottom, creating the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado Plateau. Exposed to wind and freeze/ thaw cycles, the layers of sedimentary rock and clay were selectively eroded, in some places creating spires called “hoodoos.” The largest collection of hoodoos in the United States is in southwestern Utah, where the erosion created a natural amphitheater.

Near the end of the 19th century, a Mor-

mon immigrant from Scotland, Ebenezer Bryce, settled near the hoodoo amphitheater, raising cattle near what neighbors called “Bryce’s Canyon.” Although technically inaccurate (the amphitheater was not formed by flowing water), the name stuck.

The amphitheater became Bryce Canyon National Park in 1928. With the acquisition of surrounding land, the park now includes 35,835 acres. A 5-mile hiking trail running along the amphitheater’s rim allows visitors to see the hoodoos from various perspectives and in different lights. For those not up for hiking, buses run along the rim, stopping at selected overlooks. Bryce Canyon and its spectacular hoodoos deserve to be better known.

America’s 58 national parks are a national treasure and are among the many things we can all give thanks for as we celebrate Thanksgiving.

Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at news@currentzionsville.com.

Dispatches Thanksgiving fridge space – Refrigerator space is at a premium on Thanksgiving. Make more space available by filling a large cooler with extras from the fridge you won’t be needing on the big day – dressings, pickles, etc.

Set the cooler in the garage, or outside if it’s not too cold out, until the cleanup is done and leftovers have been properly stored. Then you can put everything back in its place.

Source: FoodNetwork.com

Fluffier mashed potatoes — When making mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner, adding baking powder can make them fluffier. Add about one teaspoon of baking powder for every six potatoes at the same time you add the milk and butter. The heat from the cooked potatoes activates the powder and gives a nice fluffy texture.

What’s your position on listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving?

Do you dare deck grammar guy your halls prior to dressing your turkey? Let’s discuss the appropriate time to Christmas-ify your life as we discuss how to properly utilize between and among.

Use between when you want to discuss two or more specific, individual things. When it comes to December holidays about which I know the least, I have a tricky time choosing between Boxing Day and Finland’s Independence Day. Use among when you want to discuss things that aren’t specific or individuals.

I chose among my collection of obscure Christmas ornaments to find one that made me chortle heartily.

Use among when you are discussing a group of people. Differing positions on when to begin listening to Mariah Carey’s 1994 album Merry Christmas caused a major divide among my dance troupe, ultimately leading to its acrimonious disbanding.

Use among when you’re discussing

a person’s relationship with a group of people. After my amateur dance troupe Twilight Twinkle Toes broke up, I felt like the odd man out living among my former dance pals, who were also my roommates. The rest of the group met among themselves and re-formed, calling their new group Bad Blood.

Depending on your usage, employing between or among when referring to location can change the entire meaning of a sentence. The Woody the Woodpecker balloon in the parade floated among/between the marching bands. Using among insinuates Woody’s transporters lost control and let go of his strings, while using between indicates the parade entries appeared in an orderly fashion. And who appears at the end of the parade? Santa.

And, because Santa ends the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, according to logic, it only makes sense to listen to Christmas music after Thanksgiving.
