School construction completed

By Mark Ambrogi Â&#x201C; \PaZ/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\ Noblesville Schools are better poised for the future with the recently completed construction project, officials said EDUCATION The officials, who anticipate their district to continue to grow, held a ribbon cutting and tour on Nov. 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The completion of this project was an important part of an overall district strategic plan and has been over a year in the making,â&#x20AC;? Noblesville Schools Supt. Dr. Beth Niedermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project was designed first and foremost to help us address our growing student population in Noblesville. We currently have 10,000 students in the district with over 2,700 in the high school.â&#x20AC;?

Niedermeyer said Noblesville is now the 11th largest high school in the state. Noblesville High School Principal Jeff Bryant said he expects the high school enrollment will be even bigger in the future with some elementary classes having more than 800 students and the district overall growing by approximately 200 students a year for several years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noblesville Schools has been careful to build just want we need,â&#x20AC;? Niedermeyer said.

Some of the highlights of the construction at the high school include the freshman center, the main office complex, nine new classrooms, a secured main entrance, reorganized performing arts space, including a new band addition, and the addition of the multipurpose athletic facility.

Bryant said the color guard used to practice in the cafeteria after school but now uses the band space. The

cafeteria serving lines were also remodeled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are now getting 2,700 students through the (lunch) lines quicker than we got 2,000 students through the lines last school year because of how it is designed now,â&#x20AC;? Bryant said.

At East Middle School, Niedermeyer said 26 new classrooms have been added along with athletic renovations to accommodate middle school programming. East Middle School relocated to the high school freshman campus, which was not needed with the addition of the freshman center.

The addition was approximately 179,000 square feet and the project cost was $36 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order for us to develop the critical thinking, collaboration and student-centered, inquiry-based learning thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential in creating our leaders of tomorrow, we needed more facility space for students to learn and do,â&#x20AC;? Niedermeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our facilities are also now more efficient with lower overhead operating costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to express our deep appreciation and thanks to the Noblesville community for their confidence and support through all of this.â&#x20AC;?

Niedermeyer, who was hired over the summer, thanked Dr. Libbie Conner, the former superintendent, for her role in leading the project during her tenure. Conner announced her retirement in March and it became effective on Sept. 1.

Niedermeyer said more than 180 peopled worked through the third snowiest and coldest winter in history last year to keep the construction project on time and on budget.

When he was a younger man, Pierce Brosnan played James Bond and was quite good at it, too. Chris Lloyd writes that now Brosnan is around 60 and too old to play a run-ofthe-mill spy, but of just the right vintage to segue into the burgeoning Geezer Spy genre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now dominated by Liam Neeson but also populated by the likes of Kevin Costner and Denzel Washington.

Volunteers beautify city parks Commentary by Cindy Benedict Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been so impressed by the beauty of Noblesville parks. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard multiple residents and visitors comment OUR NEIGHBORS that Forest Park is probably the best park in all of Hamilton County. We have a great parks and recreation staff that manages everything, but they also rely on volunteers to keep everything ship-shape and to help provide amenities that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available on tight budgets.

Hague Road Nature Haven, the 94-acre park by the intersection of Ind. 38 and Hague Road, received some of those improvements recently thanks to two groups of volunteers. For the third year in a row, a group of 10 alumni from Wabash College donated their time on a Saturday to help beautify the Nature Haven. In previous years, the group cleared trails and removed debris. This year, the group installed two wooden swings and two benches along the trails.

Abby Swift and Kayla Effinger, from Girl Scouts Troop No. 1132, also helped at the Nature Haven.

Swift and Effingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project included placing signage for trail markers, a site map and information at the Nature Haven. In addition, they prepared an online scavenger hunt that is available at www.NoblesvilleParks.org (go to Parks and Hague Road Nature Haven). The girls created and completed this project as part of their Girl Scout Silver Award. These efforts are a huge help

as the park develops into a premier educational center for nature studies.

For his Eagle Scout project, Jack Gorsuch created impressive bat houses that are scattered at three park locations. In Indiana, bats pose almost no threat to humans, are primarily nocturnal and are amazing bug zappers. They provide a natural solution to insect management as they eat as many as 600 insects in an hour. In addition, Jack generously donated $953.88 to the Noblesville Parks Foundation following the completion of his project.

As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve commented before, volunteers make any community better and Noblesville volunteers are in a class by themselves. Thank you to the Wabash College alumni, Swift, Effinger and Gorsuch for dedicating their time and talents to the Noblesville parks.

If you want to learn more about Hague Road Nature Haven or any of the parks departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s properties, visit www.NoblesvilleParks.org. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to volunteer for Noblesville Parks and Recreation, you can contact assistant director Mike Hoffmeister at mhoffmeister@noblesville. in.us.

minutes with Allie Thompson

By Melissa Hicks

Genevieve Keegan-Bedano

Anne-Marie Briscoe

Allie Thompson is a home-school mom and has been a Noblesville resident for 10 years.

What has been your best vacation and why?

My family took a vacation to Hilton Head Island, S.C. That was super fun. We got to stay for a week and did a whole bunch of things.

We built the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest sand castle.

What is one thing you would change about your community?

The traffic is absolutely horrendous through Noblesville and it would be so much nicer to get through the City of Noblesville without the wait. I love downtown Noblesville but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little parking and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re limited to two hours, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to spend much time there.

Have you had a teacher who inspired you and how?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot. The one that sticks out in my mind is my own mom. Since I was home-schooled, she was my teacher second grade through my senior year. She inspired me as a mom a lot and as a teacher. So I know a lot of who I am now as a home-school mom is what I learned from her.

What is the first thing you like to tell people about yourself?

Probably about family and kids.

Do you have a pet? If not, what kind would you want?

I have a mondo dog named Dug. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 95 pounds and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nut.

Free parking offered at City Hall - Mayor John Ditslear announced today that the December free parking initiative for the City Hall metered parking lot (Lot 2) will return again this year. Offered each holiday season since 2007, this initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal has been to encourage downtown holiday shopping since the parking lot is located just one block away from the courthouse square. The public parking lot is immediately east of City Hall and is situated between Conner and Maple streets. On Nov. 26, the Noblesville Street Dept. will be placing covers over all of the meters in this lot (weather permitting) and they will remain covered until the end of December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each holiday season, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve offered this program as a way to inspire people to explore the many shops, restaurants and arts venues that downtown Noblesville has to offer,â&#x20AC;? Ditslear stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope many people will take advantage of free parking in the City Hall lot and help support the local downtown businesses.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and the City of Noblesville, Noblesville Main Street, the Noblesville COVER STORY Chamber of Commerce and Hamilton County have several holiday activities planned in the coming days to make residents feel the warmth of the season.

Smiling faces are found in and watching the Christmas Parade, which is Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival in the city. Following the parade, the downtown Santa House opens for children to see Kris Kringle. 5X[T _W^c^

The lighting of the Downtown Noblesville tree is the first event of the holiday season on Nov. 28. 5X[T _W^c^

Tree-lighting ceremony

The season will kick off at 7 p.m. Nov. 28 with the annual lighting ceremony at the Hamilton County Judicial Center, sponsored by the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a privilege for the chamber to host the tree lighting and serve the community during the holiday season,â&#x20AC;? said Bob DuBois, executive director of the chamber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanksgiving weekend is a family weekend. What we are trying to do is create fun memories for families at the tree lighting.â&#x20AC;?

DuBois said one of the changes this year is a slightly reformatted program following Mary Resslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement as coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so appreciative of Mary Resslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time and leadership with the tree lighting ceremony for more than two decades,â&#x20AC;? DuBois said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bar was set high by her. We hope to honor her DuBois by putting on a nice family show as well.â&#x20AC;?

DuBois said the event will include Noblesville High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Hartman and his jazz quartet, Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger reading a Christmas story, community caroling and the lighting of the city tree. Mayor John Ditslearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Night Before Christmasâ&#x20AC;? will include a theatrical interpretation from local actors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 50th anniversary of the Belfry Theatre and we thought that will be fun and a little bit different,â&#x20AC;? DuBois said.

The event will last approximately 45 minutes and will be indoors except for the tree lighting. DuBois said Eighth Street between Conner and Logan streets will be closed to traffic to provide residents safe traveling in and out of the Judicial Center. For information about the lighting ceremony, call 773-0086.

As a result of the success from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural event, Noblesville Main Street is expanding its Ice Festival, which begins Nov. 28. 5X[T _W^c^

Christmas parade

Wafford assisted Dan Yancy for seven years hanging lights around downtown before the city took over the responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were two business guys who went to Wal-Mart every year to replace lights that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did the best we could. â&#x20AC;Ś The square is beautiful. We were the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team, now they have the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team.â&#x20AC;?

While snow is his least favorite part of the holidays, Wafford said he enjoys the lights and Christmas music the most. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love the Christmas music,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes me back to my younger days and fond memories. It brightens my spirit up.â&#x20AC;?

Jim WaďŹ&#x20AC;ord, grand marshal

For two consecutive Fridays, Noblesville Main Street has plans to entertain and attract families to downtown.

As part of the tree lighting ceremony on Nov. 28, NMS Executive Director Chris Owens said the organization will have ice sculptures around the courthouse square. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural Ice Festival had about 14 sculptures and Owens said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will expand by six or seven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great response last year and a Owens significant amount of community members out looking at them,â&#x20AC;? said Owens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep them up as long as they are not a nuisance or a danger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a minimum of a week.â&#x20AC;?

Owens said Main Street will be offering complimentary hot chocolate near the Santa House on Nov. 28 and during the final First Friday event of 2014 on Dec. 5.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shop Localâ&#x20AC;? holiday promotion continues from 5 to 8 p.m.

Dec. 5. Owens said many merchants will have extended holiday hours as other activities take place on the square. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carolers will be performing, chestnuts will be roasting and a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bell choir will be ringing in the holiday season. Come join us for a night of family-friendly holiday fun,â&#x20AC;? Owens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Merchants have done a great job decorating this year.â&#x20AC;?

For information about NMS events, call 776-0205.

The annual Christmas parade will spread holiday cheer on the streets at 2 p.m. Nov. 30. As always, the holiday parade will mark the debut of Santa Claus to Noblesville for the season. City spokeswoman Cara Culp said children are invited to stop by Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House on the courthouse square after the parade to tell him what they would like for Christmas. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Joys of the Seasonâ&#x20AC;?themed parade begins at 16th and Harrison streets and will travel south on 16th Street to Logan Street, west on Logan to Ninth Street, north on Ninth to Monument Street, and east on Monument to 16th Street, where it will end.

A familiar face around Noblesville, Jim Wafford will serve as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas parade grand marshal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited about it. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how important it was for some people that they know someone as a grand marshal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so flattered and humbled.â&#x20AC;?

Wafford is the owner of three Noblesville businesses: Logan Street Signs & Banners, Noblesville Trophies and The Wafford Theater. He Wafford has created a number of websites for the community including HamiltonCountyTV.com, which airs local sports and events as well as classic movies and TV shows. Wafford also used to co-host â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sinisterly Bad Theaterâ&#x20AC;? with Hiram (Rick Vanderwielen) on Channel 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a SBT reunion. Hiram will be driving me in the parade,â&#x20AC;? Wafford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot of fun. Half the people will remember Hiram and think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny, the other half wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who Hiram is and think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny.â&#x20AC;?

Being involved in the holiday activities is nothing new to Wafford, who has worked the past 23 years behind the scenes helping to get things ready for the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had not to work, so this will be interesting,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Immigration: The order is in

On the Statue of Liberty is an oft-repeated and embraced quote. Courtesy of the late poet, Emma Lazarus, it goes like this: ²6XeT \T h^da cXaTS h^da _^^a H^da WdSS[TS \PbbTb hTPa]X]V c^ QaTPcWT UaTT CWT faTcRWTS aTUdbT ^U h^da cTT\X]V bW^aT BT]S cWTbT cWT W^\T[Tbb cT\_Tbc c^bbTS c^ \T) 8 [XUc \h [P\_ QTbXST cWT V^[ST] S^^a Âł It has well more than stood the test of time, for this great nation is a wonderful melting pot, a land of opportunity for those willing to seek it and make the most of it in a positive manner. Last Thursday, President Barack Obama was to have delivered an executive order on immigration. The White House said this would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a step forward in the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to work with Congress on passing common sense, comprehensive immigration reform.â&#x20AC;? Judge Andrew Napolitano, a news personality, posted this to his Facebook account: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obama is NOT the lawmaker - he is the law enforcer. And he is grossly abusing his discretion when it comes to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;immigrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reform.â&#x20AC;? We agree the system is seriously flawed, and Lazarus probably is spinning in her grave, but what the hell is Congress for - other than a dime-store sideshow in this case?

Without all the details, we still know that the president has urged Americans to not â&#x20AC;&#x153;visit the sins of the parents upon the blameless children.â&#x20AC;? The actual policy, however, exempts the parents as well, The Atlantic points out.

The supposed immigration plan would welcome additional waves of illegal immigration; count on it. His plan would legalize permanent residency for scores of criminal immigrants.

Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Lazarus meant by â&#x20AC;&#x153;wretched refuse?â&#x20AC;? The immigrantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lower incomes will get them into social programs once the ink is dry; that will cost all of us a bundle. As The Atlantic points out, the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move technically may be legal, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it rips up accepted norms of presidential conduct.â&#x20AC;? Presidents are sworn to faithfully execute the laws â&#x20AC;Ś even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like them. This, like so many orders before it, is a thumbed nose.

AgriNovus Indiana

Commentary by Terry Anker

The highest point in our state seemed like the perfect place to launch an initiative aimed at examining the ag-related biosciences and business in Indiana. A sizable assemblage of agribusiness, biotech and information technology royalty gathered on the top-floor conference center of the Chase Tower in Indianapolis at the geographic heart of our homeland to introduce us to AgriNovus.

Launched with the tagline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Examining the Agbiosciences in Indiana â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A State of Innovation,â&#x20AC;?

David Johnson, president and CEO of the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership and Biocrossroads, introduced the new concept and pledged to bring his considerable resources to bear in shining â&#x20AC;&#x153;a spotlight on the innovation in the food and agricultural sector and support continued growth in the industry.â&#x20AC;?

He is right in his declaration. The industry is one of the most important in our state and continues to bring national and international acclaim to our borders. Most importantly, it vanquishes many tired stereotypes about ag, its workers

and the impact it has on our state as a whole.

AgriNovus, as Beth Bechdol, the inaugural executive director said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifts up our strategic efforts and raise(s) the level of awareness around Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths in food and agricultural innovation.â&#x20AC;? In a world confronted with growing populations and shrinking arable land, the innovation that has been a hallmark of food production in the Hoosier State for almost two centuries will become even more critical. On most of the planet, clean, nutritious food and water is far greater a need than the latest iteration of the iWhatever.

Bechdol is the right person for the job. She effortlessly connects disparate groups and bears the steady hand of a well-informed and thoughtful leader. Competent to a fault, she has a big task but is equipped to manage it. Check out www.agrinovusindiana.com. Our food story is an impressive one.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status.

° ;PdaT]RT 9 ?TcTa

Uncle! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m calling it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough with the bad mojo in the world bringing me down.

At a time when I am supposed to be giving thanks for what I have, I seem to be continually distracted by major bummers. Like the day I forgot my phone at home.

A typical Tuesday would see me leaving work as soon as the school bell rings and racing across town to pick up my youngest from her Orff ensemble practice to get her to tumbling by 4. Even with perfect execution, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually a couple of minutes late.

On my phone-free day, however, already running about five minutes behind, I found a cop car completely blocking access to my normal route. People were stopping mid-street and three-point-turning-it to go back the way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come, but in my infinite wisdom, I continued onward toward a super-secret short cut. A mile later, I realized my shortcut actually started at a different location, one that required access to the blocked street. Argh! I did my own U-turn and ended up back in the same traffic jam Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just scoffed at. After another excruciating five minutes of waiting to turn left onto the detour, I found myself first stuck behind a school bus dropping off kids and then at a stoplight that was allowing only one car through the intersection each cycle.

Completely helpless, I watched the pick-up time come and go. Subconsciously, I reached for my phone to call the school or a neighbor before realizing that said phone was not in my van but rather charging on my kitchen counter. Cue panic! How could I communicate my predicament? Should I pull over at the gas station and borrow a phone? Can I get Internet on my laptop while driving? Why is this (sniffle, sob) happening to me?

Just drive, woman, drive! Images of my abandoned daughter crying in the cold drizzle dive-bombed my already-guilty psyche, bringing with them my own tears of frustration.

When I finally reached her school, a solid 20 minutes late, I was one hot mess. Her teacher had kindly waited with her inside the building after two separate mommy friends had offered to take her home. But tumbling obviously was no longer a possibility.

My daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet words of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK, Mom. I have a lot of homework anyway. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re OK!â&#x20AC;? made me feel even worse. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tried to reach me several times and was starting to think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been in an accident. To that end, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d called my husband Doo (of course, away on a business trip) multiple times to ask for help.

All because I left my stupid phone at home.

UNCLE! Peace out.

CTC looks to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Walesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for holiday production

By Mark Robinson Â&#x201C; a^QX]b^]/h^dPaTRdaaT]c R^\

When Carmel Theatre Company leaders sought a unique stage production for this Christmas season, they were eager to find just the right play. They think they have it in THEATER â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas in Wales,â&#x20AC;? based on the Dylan Thomas short story with musical adaptation by Jeremy Brooks and Adrian Mitchell.

Performances are scheduled Dec. 4 to Dec. 7 and Dec. 11 through Dec. 14 at Studio 15, 15 First Ave. NE in the Carmel Arts & Design District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I heard (CTC board members) June and John Clair were looking for a family-friendly holiday production, I decided to see if I could find a Christmas story that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same retelling of Scroogeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misadventures or holiday pageants gone awry,â&#x20AC;? said Pam Kingsley, a fellow CTC board member and past performer who is directing this production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas in Walesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a funny, charming, magical musical adaptation of the Dylan Thomas short story that is truly made for all ages to enjoy. The music is absolutely wonderful, packed full of familiar holiday tunes and some beautiful Welsh songs.â&#x20AC;?

Thomas, better known as a poet from Wales,

wrote the short story in the 1940s and recorded an audio version in 1952, a year before his death.

Since then, it has been turned into a stage production and film. The story is a fictional autobiographical account of a man remembering his Christmas and those around him as a youth. The CTC said it believes this may be the Indiana premiere of the musical, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;a warm, nostalgic story filled with all the good things of Christmas, which will conjure up memories of family Christmas celebrations the world over.â&#x20AC;?

Dalyn Stewart, a 12-year-old home-schooled student from Westfield, stars as young Dylan.

Stewart has been performing since he was 8 through the Wisdom Builders home school co-op he attends and in church camp shows, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas in Walesâ&#x20AC;? marks his CTC debut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love getting in front of people,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said of his affection for performing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the singing, the acting, everything about it.â&#x20AC;?

Stewart wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t familiar with the play before auditioning, but he has been immersed in it ever since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the storyline of it, how the adult Dylan is basically telling the story in his mind and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing out on the stage,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the humor, the fun, I love the enthusiasm. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

family, loving, fun, adventurous play of a boy that has the best Christmas ever.â&#x20AC;?

Rick Sharp, who in real life serves on the Carmel City Council and began performing in local theater at age 50, returns to the stage as the adult Dylan narrating the show. Sharp said the role is â&#x20AC;&#x153;both challenging and fascinating.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenging part is I only interact with the cast once,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were joking the other night about it and I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a completely different story.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The part thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascinating is the language. The richness and variety and the phrasing that Dylan Thomas used in writing this is just amazing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language as an art, which we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practice so much in the 21st century. That presents some of the challenge because â&#x20AC;Ś I (have to be) careful to convey the meaning of the words as well as the sentiment.â&#x20AC;?

The cast consists of 21 actors and singers, most from Carmel, Westfield and Zionsville. Carol Keddington serves as musical director. Show time is 7 p.m. for Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $18 for the general public, $12 for students 12 and under and seniors 62 and over. Group discounts are available.

To make reservations, call 688-8876. Visit CarmelTheatreCompany.com for more information.

Feast to feed, raise funds

1h BcTeT] 0[SaXRW Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]c]^Q[TbeX[[T R^\ For the past five years, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Carmel has been hosting a Madrigal Feast to raise PHILANTHROPY proceeds for various charities, as well as to feed and entertain hundreds of people. In the past years, proceeds have gone to various special-needs schools and cancer research programs, including Voices of Hope. The event is put on by the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir, which following this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feast on Dec. 6, will determine the charity that the proceeds will benefit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The feast is great,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Christoff, director of the church choir and the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The feast has grown tremendously each year they have

done it.â&#x20AC;?

During the feast, the choir will perform an original medieval play, written by choir member Kathie Samuelson. In addition, the feast will also consist of a four-course meal prepared by some of the finest chefs in all the land, as well as wine and coffee preceding the dinner. The Madrigal Feast has been a great way to bring people together to enjoy an evening of medieval fun and help the needy. It is a fantastic time that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

By Jillian Albrecht Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]c]^Q[TbeX[[T R^\ For the 23rd year, the greater Indiana chapter of the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association hosted its annual Chocolate PHILANTHROPY Sunday event at the Ritz Charles in Carmel.

Washing down gourmet dark, white and milk chocolate with champagne would be a fantastic way to spend a Sunday in and of itself, but the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association made it so much more.

A silent auction was held where guests could bid on items such as gift baskets and experiences. There were also chances to win items through a raffle, and even a live auction was held. Guests got the chance to win Colts tickets, Pacers tickets and tickets to the David Letterman show in its final season. The best part is that the proceeds from this event went to the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association. The association

works tirelessly to raise Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness, support Alzheimer sufferers, educate the public about the disease and fund research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a cure yet, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on it,â&#x20AC;? said communications director Leah Shattuck.

Not only is Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incurable, treatments need improvement and awareness needs to be raised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to help people see how much Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affects the United States,â&#x20AC;? she said.

One way they accomplished this goal was by showing a film the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association put together, which profiled two families deeply affected by the disease and greatly helped by the association.

Not only does the film raise awareness, it helps donors and potential donors see exactly where their donations go, and what they help to achieve.

Men seeking more plastic surgery, study notes

By James Feichtner Â&#x201C; ]Tfb/RdaaT]c]^Q[TbeX[[T R^\ Looking back 20 to 30 years ago, the medical practice of plastic surgery wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly as popular as it is today. Typically APPEARANCE procedures were more common with women, but as advances in medicine and the proven benefits of surgery increase, today more men than ever are getting the surgery.

According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the number of cosmetic procedures for men increased by more than 106 percent between 1997 and 2012. A 2013 study conducted by ASAPS showed 23 percent of facial surgeons nationwide surveyed said men under 35 years old sought services ranging from rhinoplasty, neck liposuction and chin implants to acne scar elimination and hair transplant procedures.

Local plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Hamilton, who performs many facial surgeries in Carmel, spoke about the increase in male plastic surgeries, attributing it to the popularity of the procedures with women over Hamilton the past few decades as well as safer, more developed surgical techniques. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to what we saw with women over the last 20 years,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As people recognized surgery was safe and could really enhance peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, it became more acceptable with women and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just slowly creeping into the male community where they see it, they see that (other men) had the surgery and that they are comfortable with it and think, why not? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become safer, techniques are better and people see that they can do it and have nice results and so they are more comfortable.

I think just a lot of the changing dynamics that men are more comfortable with those types of things than they were 20 to 30 years ago.â&#x20AC;?

But when it comes to considering plastic surgery, Hamilton said he believes getting to know your surgeon is crucial to the success of the procedure. One of the most important aspects is being comfortable with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always tell patients to meet with the surgeons and make sure that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comfortable with them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be somebody that you can talk to and feel comfortable with and know that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take care of you after the surgery. Those are important things.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from feeling comfortable with your surgeon, there are several other aspects Hamilton recommends looking into when considering a procedure. These include the education and certifications of the surgeon, his or her experience, cost and discussing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectation of the results.

Housing inventory moving fast Commentary by Jim Litten More than 2,100 homes pended in October, with three Central Indiana counties reporting increased sales compared to the same REAL ESTATE time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company. Overall, October 2014 pended home sales rose 0.1 percent to 2,172 over October 2013, a modest increase of two homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. Year-to-date, 24,972 homes pended, a decline of 1,286 homes compared to the same time period in 2013.

In the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks, homes sold for an average of $176,703 year-todate, an increase of 6.5 percent compared to the same time period last year. Hamilton County was among the areas that experienced slightly higher home sale prices. On average, prices rose to $267,436 from $252,235 compared to the same time period last year. Â&#x201C; In Noblesville, the average year-to-date sale price in October was $212,669, an increase of 2 percent compared to the same time period last year. Â&#x201C; Inventory is moving fast. Last month, homes in Noblesville remained on the mar-

ket an average of 70 days, a decrease of three days from October 2013. Â&#x201C; The number of homes for sale in Noblesville is rising. In October 2014, 387 homes were on the market, an increase of 53 homes from October 2013. Â&#x201C; Pended home sales rose in Noblesville. Last month, 103 homes pended, an increase of 28 homes from October 2013. Â&#x201C; Of the pended home sales in Noblesville last month, two were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 14 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 24 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 54 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and nine were priced at $99,999 or less.

Home sales are comparable to this time last year. Though the increase was modest, we remain encouraged by positive sales and higher home prices â&#x20AC;&#x201C; characteristics of our ongoing market stabilization.

East Side of Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, facing the Potomac River. ?W^c^ Qh 3^] :]TQT[

Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Virginia Home Commentary by Don Knebel

Two hundred twenty-five years ago, George Washington issued a proclamation from New York, asking Americans to thank TRAVEL God on Nov. 26, 1789, for â&#x20AC;&#x153;affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.â&#x20AC;? Washington himself was most thankful on March 4, 1797, when he ended his second term as President of that government and returned to his beloved Mount Vernon estate.

Washington inherited a half-interest in Mount Vernon, near Alexandria, Va., from his half-brother Lawrence, who had named the property after a British admiral. In 1758, before obtaining complete ownership, Washington began enlarging the small farmhouse his father had built overlooking the Potomac River. Upon reaching its current size in 1774, the house encompassed 11,028 square feet and 21 rooms. The exterior was covered by bevel-edged blocks of yellow pine, made to resemble stone by pouring a layer of sand onto wet paint. At Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instruction, the weather vane atop a hexagonal cupola featured a dove with an olive branch of peace in its mouth. Washington also designed the two-story piazza facing the river that was widely copied.

At its peak, Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount Vernon plantation included 8,000 acres, devoted primarily to tobacco and wheat and worked by hundreds of slaves. By 1797, Washington had soured on slavery and upon his death in 1799 he bequeathed the 123 slaves he owned to his wife Martha, with instructions they be freed upon her death. She freed them a year later. Visitors since 1833 have reported a slave cemetery on the property, but surface evidence of it eventually disappeared. On Sept. 21, 1983, the Mount Vernon Ladies Association, owners of the property since 1858, dedicated a cylindrical monument near the tombs of George and Martha Washington to mark the graves of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Afro Americans who served as slaves at Mount Vernon.â&#x20AC;?

Mount Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mansion, outbuildings and 500 remaining acres are open to the public 365 days a year, reflecting Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitality while living there. Of the more than 80 million visitors since then, only those since 2007 have been able to purchase whiskey from a working replica of Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distillery.

Question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jordan, I was tempted to write you after your comments on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vs. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but your comGRAMMAR GUY ments on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;snuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sneakedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; have tipped me over the edge. I know English is a living language and needs to be with new ideas, inventions, etc., that need identifying. However, why do the powers that be and dictionaries allow bad language to become good or acceptable language just because so many people use it? Bad is bad, regardless. Why ever learn good English if oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad English will eventually be acceptable. To allow the bad to become good is allowing our language to go downhill. Let the bad stay bad and if a large number of people want to speak bad English, so be it. But at least they will know it is bad English.â&#x20AC;? -- (John Ross) Answer: Every year, dictionaries release their list of new words that have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;officiallyâ&#x20AC;? added to the language and words that have gained new meanings. Every year I cringe (Not â&#x20AC;&#x153;selfie!â&#x20AC;?).

This season, next season and the foreseeable future is all about buttery, supple, and oh-so-soft suede, with its alluring impracticality (avoid drizzle at all costs) and undeniable sensual appeal. Critics said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how fashion is getting its groove back, just in time to fall in step with the groovy 70s vibe felt on springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runways. - www.vogue.com

The Village of Zionsville

these moments is that there are â&#x20AC;&#x153;powers that beâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to language. But that is not how language evolves.

There is a great quote from â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Craft of Verseâ&#x20AC;? by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges about just this notion: â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś language is not, as we are led to suppose by the dictionary, the invention of academicians or philologists. Rather, it has been evolved through time â&#x20AC;Ś by peasants, by fishermen, by hunters, by riders.â&#x20AC;?

When we say things like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How could they let that become acceptable!â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they enforce the rules of grammar?â&#x20AC;? weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting the tail to wag the dog. The role of the dictionary is that of a scribe: recording how the language is used at this point in time by the people who use it. When the language changes, so must the dictionary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lest it risk becoming irrelevant.

Cabinet modifications, warm colors transform a kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL POOL DECK: This home, located in the Claybridge subdivision in West Carmel, included a wooden deck BLUEPRINT FOR connected to the pool IMPROVEMENT area. The homeowners were constantly battling the intense sun and heat throughout the day and into the evening. This lack of backyard shade led the homeowners to add a new gazebo structure with a rustic design and prominent view of the pool and scenic lake.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN: Set on a new concrete pier foundation, the 330-square-foot gazebo structure features a rustic design. Once the foundation work was complete, 6-by-6 decorative cedar columns were installed to support the roof. Rough sawn cedar trusses with black painted steel gusset plates were installed to provide additional structural support while also adding to the desired look.

FIREPLACE DETAILS: The stately fireplace was designed with functionality in mind. Real stone veneer in a “Chestnut Ashlar” color was installed over the concrete masonry unit fireplace. The interior fireplace wall features a 6-inch recess for the TV, two firewood storage areas and two weatherproof cabinets for lighting and media equipment. A gas line and valve was installed for the fireplace gas start system.

EXTERIOR FINISH & LIGHTING: A green metal

BEFORE & AFTER

RESULT: All design elements came together to create the perfect poolside retreat with year-round appeal. When it’s too chilly to relax in the shade after a dip in the pool, the homeowners and their family and friends like to gather around the cozy fireplace for s’mores and football on the outdoor TV.

roof with matching gutters and downspouts was installed. A finish coat of stain was applied to the columns, siding, cedar trim and bead board ceiling to complete the final look. In order to provide adequate lighting for evening entertainment, six well lights were installed around the perimeter of each cedar column. A ceiling fan/light in a bronze finish also was installed on a dimmable switch.
