Typically, the MPO funds 80 percent of a project, but because the cost of Phase 1 for Pleasant Street is large, Krupski said that wouldn’t be the case if the city received funds. The MPO would more likely award a lump sum.

“We haven’t determined what that would be,” Krupski said.

The federal aid process also requires public input, and the schedule should be finalized in early 2020. Input meetings haven’t been announced yet, but Krupski said the city plans to be transparent and keep the public updated through the project.

“This is a really important project for the city,” Krupski said. “Obviously, there will be some opposition to it, but we think it’ll be better for the city.”

Krupski said city officials plan to have Phase 1 under construction by 2025, at the latest.

“I know there’s been a lot of talk about this project happening for a long time, but we are confident this project is happening,” Krupski said.

The Hoosier Artisan Boutique will return to the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant HOLIDAY St., Noblesville, Nov. 30. The juried arts and crafts event is in its 11th year and features artists from across the state.

General admission is free. The event is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Event coordinator Megan Martin said a $5 VIP ticket option is available for early entry at 10 a.m.

The event is on Small Business Saturday, and Martin said it’s crucial to support local businesses and artisans.

“So much more of what you spend gets put right back into our local economy,” Martin said. “It’s really insane the impact it can have. There’s something to be said for getting to meet and talk to the people who have made the items themselves. It’s things they are very passionate about, and a lot of time, energy and love goes into the production of their items.

“Everything they made has a story, and a lot of them are supporting families with the things they’re making and creating, so your purchase just makes an impact in so many ways.”

There will be approximately 90 booths selling, among other items, pottery, art, lamps and pet gifts.

“We have literally heard people say they find something for everyone on their list,” Martin said.

Nickel Plate Express works to repair Locomotive 426

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A local initiative is under way to restore Locomotive 426 for the Nickel Plate Express.

FUNDRAISER Nickel Plate Express leaders want to raise $12,000 for engine repairs. It has been out of service for about two years. The Nickel Plate Express operates with a 1956 diesel locomotive.

“Almost all railroads have two locomotives. For our train, we want locomotives at each end. It’s really important to have that second power mode to use other than the one locomotive we have right now,” said Dagny Zupin, director of the Nickel Plate Express. “But more importantly, this locomotive (426) has been in Hamilton County since 2001, so people are used to seeing it go through Noblesville, and they’re used to hearing it. People are fond of it, so I think it would be awesome to bring that memory back for the people of Noblesville.”

Zupin said the goal is to raise the money and repair the engine before the holiday season ends in order to use the locomotive for the annual Reindeer Ride, which was to begin Nov. 23. The Reindeer Ride is offered each Saturday and Sunday through Dec. 22.

“The Reindeer Ride is our version of the Polar Express. It’s a really fun holiday experience for families,” Zupin said. “This year, we are boarding out of Noblesville for the first time.”

In previous years, the Reindeer Ride boarded out of downtown Atlanta, but now it will board in Forest Park, 701 Cicero Rd. Noblesville businesses welcome the change.

“The businesses downtown have been super-great. Almost all of them are offering deals where you bring a train ticket in (and get a discount),” Zupin said. “That has been really encouraging to see the Noblesville businesses are welcoming it.”

Local businesses are doing more than offering discounts. Some are

assisting in the Nickel Plate Express’ fundraising efforts to repair Locomotive 426. Noble Coffee & Tea, 933 Logan St., is offering a special coffee blend called Full Throttle, in which 25 percent of proceeds go to 426 restoration efforts. Full Throttle is a medium roast with notes of caramel, peanut and chocolate.

Cafes or restaurants interested in brewing the Full Throttle blend should contact Noble Coffee & Tea co-owner Robyn Littler at robyn@noblecoffeeandtea.com.

This year, the Reindeer Ride will be decorated in 10,000 Christmas lights donated by Gaylor Electric.

“Our train cars are 16 feet tall, and they have all these beautiful LED Christmas lights on them,” Zupin said.

“Even people not riding the train appreciate that because they’re waiting in their cars for the train to pass and they get to see this beautiful light display.”

Reindeer Ride tickets are $30 for kids and $35 for adults. The ride is 1 hour and 15 minutes, roundtrip. Children are told a short story during the ride. They can sing carols, and hot chocolate and sugar cookies will be available. Santa comes through the train and gives a gift to each child.

At the halfway point in Arcadia, a 150-year-old train depot has been decorated in Christmas lights, also donated by Gaylor Electric. It will portray Santa’s Workshop. As the train travels by, elves come out and wave.

Noblesville’s Next Chapter Jensen announces administrative team, mayoral plan

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Although his inauguration is more than a month away, mayor-elect Chris Jensen COVER STORY said he’s already mapped out his plan for governing the City of Noblesville.

Jensen announced three members of his administrative team Oct. 28. A few days later, he released the “Noblesville’s Next Chapter” Jensen report.

“The plan really is a continuation of our campaign promise to be open, transparent, community-oriented.

That’s how the campaign we ran was,” Jensen said. “That way we promise to continue to govern that way. This plan is a continuation of that.”

After he won the primary election, Jensen and his team reached out to community leaders and asked them for feedback on his platform. He then sought their guidance with regard to community expectations.

“They reported back and laid out the report for us and how we govern Jan. 1,” Jensen said. “The themes in the report are we ran on infrastructure, the downtown, public safety and workforce. We just, if you will, fine-tuned that into a governing document. We wanted to make sure it was easy for the Jensen administration to tie back what we’re doing to what we talked about doing and what we heard from the community they wanted done.

“It can be risky to lay a document out like this because then you actually have to do it. You can be held accountable, and I want to be held accountable.”

Jensen said infrastructure is his top priority.

Mayor-elect Chris Jensen said addressing infrastructure and traffic are his top priorities. He wants to transform Pleasant Street into a better east-west connector through downtown Noblesville. (Submitted map)

“We have some catching up to do,” he said. “You cannot deny we have an infrastructure deficiency in the City of Noblesville.”

Jensen said now is the time to construct an east-west corridor in the city.

“If Indiana wants to be the Crossroads of America, Hamilton County has to be the Crossroads of Indiana, and we have to play that part,” he said, adding that he planned to improve Pleasant Street to add capacity for east-west traffic. “(Widening) Ind. 32 is a long-term discussion, and Westfield has already begun that, and the state is interested in upgrading (Ind.) 32, but we can’t wait 10 years for the state to upgrade 32,” Jensen said.

Jensen also regards White River as a major asset but notes that it causes the traffic issue.

“We can’t throw east-to-west roads in the city because there’s a river,” he said.

Jensen’s newly appointed deputy mayor, Matt Light, said all of Jensen’s

campaign platforms are related.

“Those pillars affect one another,” Light said. “Infrastructure needs impact how well we do in economic development, public health and safety.”

Jensen agrees.

“If you want our downtown to thrive, you have to make sure people can get downtown,” Jensen said.

Although Noblesville’s Next Chapter report has been released, Jensen isn’t slowing down ahead of his Jan. 1 inauguration.

“We have a lot of work to do,” he said. “The next layer of staff needs to develop: a police (chief) and fire chief, and we need to hire a new communications director. There’s a few others we need to fill in to really get the team in place. We want to have them in place so we aren’t going to be looking for the bathroom on Jan. 1.

“We are going to be sprinting toward the next chapter on Jan. 1, which I think will give us a distinct advantage over so many communities across the state.”

MEET THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF Oct. 28, mayor-elect Chris Jensen announced his administrative team of Deputy Mayor Matt Light, Director of Public Safety Chad Knecht and Director of Community and Economic Development Sarah Reed.

Matt Light: Light is the chief of staff for the State Board of Accounts. He served in several leadership capacities prior to that. He recently served on the Indiana State Bar Association’s Board of GoverLight nors and is a 2013 graduate of the ISBA Leadership Development Academy. He lives in Noblesville with his wife, Erin, and their children Savannah, Dakota and Luke.

Chad Knecht: Knecht is the senior director of security and safety for the Indiana Pacers. He previously worked as a deputy operations director for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Dept.

He is a 2011 gradKnecht uate of the IMPD Leadership Academy. He and his wife, Tracy, live in Noblesville. They have a daughter, Jordan.

Sarah Reed: Reed is the director of planning and development for the City of Noblesville.

She previously worked for the planning and development department in the City of Westfield. She has a bachelor’s degree Reed in urban planning from the University of Cincinnati.

ESSAY

LETTER

Assorted colors

Not 100 miles

Commentary by Terry Anker To some of us, the world is a less colorful place. It doesn’t mean that we cannot see the same hues but that we think of them as the basic kindergarten Crayola pack with eight colors only. Sophisticated, we employ descriptive words like light green or dark blue. But otherwise, concepts of chartreuse and periwinkle elude us.

So far, the shorthanded descriptors have worked well enough. But today, it seems we are expected to wear certain colors on certain days to show certain encouragement of all manner and variety of cause, home team and political purpose.

Sure, we support the Colts – and also the Pacers, Indy Eleven and Indians. We support teachers. We support the farmers who work long, unrelenting hours, captive by uncontrollable weather to produce our food. We support the merchants who retrieve, organize, grade and deliver that food in the most safe, choice and cost-effective fashion on the planet. We support the entrepreneurs who take great personal risk to conceive, fund and implement important new innovations.

We support moms and dads, brothers and sisters, schools and universities, charities and nonprofits, our heritage and yours, bankers and businesses, hospitals and researchers, and all the rest.

Still, there aren’t enough colors to go around. If we don’t wear it right, on the right day, in the right way, are we not “right” at all? Must each claim a color and claim it quick?

I’m your guilty pleasure Commentary by Danielle Wilson About once every six months, hate mail compels me to offer a defense of not only my column, but HUMOR also the choices I make as a mother, wife and liberal, soulless redhead. With Thanksgiving upon us, however, I’m taking a new approach. Here’s why you should actually be thankful for me: • I make you feel better about yourself. I’ve been called a “sinner,” “drunk” and “child abuser.”

I’m apparently going to hell and I will supposedly be divorced by 2021 because of the way I treat my husband. I’m also rarely funny and consistently cross the stupidity line. How amazingly perfect you are in comparison!

• I help you burn calories. Because of the significant increases in both your blood pressure and heart rate while reading about my latest judgment-worthy shenanigans, you can skip your daily exercise routine and enjoy a workout from the comfort of your own Barcalounger. You’re

welcome!

• I’m your guilty pleasure. Like a horrible car accident, you just can’t help but stare at this space each week, even though you tell yourself you really shouldn’t read such “trash.” But it’s OK! You’re allowed to indulge yourself once in a while. Moderation in all things, right?

• I provide solid water-cooler fodder. Mom-shamers, zipper-merge etiquette, Trump’s teenage antics, IU drinkfests … what would you talk about with your gal pals at Wednesday Bible study or Thursday MOPS if it weren’t for me? The Indy suburbs need some spice occasionally. Consider me your weekly dose of cayenne pepper!

There you have it. Four reasons to be thankful for me! Peace out.

Editor, Noblesville has made some notable recent improvement to our trail system. So, I’m baffled why the city insists on misleading the public about “100 miles of trails.”

It is impossible to locate that much trail in our city because it doesn’t exist. When I brought that to the attention of the parks director, he replied that it’s an “inexact science,” so the city considers streets that connect trails to be trails as well. That’s how you get to 100 miles, by counting streets as trails. If that’s your metric, I guess you could say we have hundreds of miles of trails.

But we don’t. To cite just one blatant (and dangerous) example, the city claims we have a trail on Pleasant Street crossing Ind. 37.

There isn’t even a crosswalk. I know the current mayor is desperate to find some accomplishments to mark his 16 years in office, and I don’t wish him ill. We’ve made some modest improvements to our trails.

Let’s celebrate that and stop with this 100 miles nonsense.

Dworkin, Jenneman collaborate to create book on mischievous elf

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com It started when Jim Dworkin attempting to entertain his grandchildren.

AUTHOR “One evening a couple of years ago, my two youngest grandchildren asked me to tell them a Christmas story,” said Dworkin, a Purdue professor of management. “So, I totally made up this story, and as I was telling it, all of the adults gathered around to listen. And when I was finished, they all encouraged me to turn the story into a book.”

Soon after, the Noblesville resident wrote his first children’s book, “Scooter The Mischievous Elf.” Dworkin said Scooter has a secret plan Santa Claus knows nothing about.

“At the end of the book, there are four different possible endings describing what could happen to Scooter,” Dworkin said. “At some schools, we can use the polling software Kahoot so the children can vote on their favorite ending. I won’t give away the actual ending, but I will say kids and adults alike really enjoy this story and the multiple-endings approach.”

The book is the first Carmel resident Mike Jenneman, a graphic designer, has illustrated.

“I’ve known Jim and his family since I was in high school (in West Lafayette), so we have been friends for 30-plus years,” Jenneman said.

“Several years ago, when he was the chancellor of Purdue North Central, he hired me to design a disc golf course for that campus. I also created/illustrated all of the tee signs for the course.”

When Dworkin asked if he would illustrate his book, Jenneman imme-

diately accepted because he always wanted to illustrate a children’s book.

“We are actually planning to continue the Scooter story by creating a series of adventures for him, maybe something that tells what he does after Christmas and throughout the year,” Jenneman said.

There will be a signing and reading at 11 a.m. Dec. 7 at Barnes & Noble, 14790 Greyhound Plaza, Carmel, and noon to 2 p.m. Dec. 15 at Books & Brews, 61 W. City Center Dr., Carmel.

Dworkin already had the story written when Jenneman joined the project.

“He had the text handwritten on each page, along with ideas/ instructions for what he would like, illustration-wise,” Jenneman said. “I first sketched out pages in pencil, then transferred them to the computer and added the vibrant colors and other details to make it

eye-catching, especially for children.

After I created the look for Scooter, I created my own look for Santa and the reindeer characters. The whole process took a lot longer than I expected, but the experience was enjoyable, and I learned so much more about illustrating in general because of it as well as the somewhat complex process of creating a book from start to finish.”

The work is Dworkin’s fourth children’s picture book. The others are “The Dog and the Dolphin,” “The Dog and the Jet Ski” and “Red’s Nature Adventure.” Dworkin said he has several other books planned.

The Carmel Clay Public Library has made “Scooter the Mischievous Elf” available on loan and for purchase at the Friends Bookstore located to the right of the front entrance of the library. Part of the proceeds will go to the Friends Bookstore. It also is available on Amazon.

Parenthetical thoughts Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I need a Roomba. OK, maybe “need” is a strong word, but I need a Roomba. I GRAMMAR GUY just crunched the numbers, and getting a Roomba to robotically clean my floors would make my life approximately 4.5 percent better. Feel free to disagree with me, but Rosie (I just named my Roomba Rosie) will increase my quality of life.

Feel free to disagree with me on this as well: Parentheses make writing stronger. Let’s examine some rules on using parentheses accurately.

Parentheses block off information that either clarify your writing or are used as an aside. To use parentheses to clarify the contents of your sentence, you could write: Americans consume 70 million pounds of tater tots per year (or the equivalent of five Eiffel Towers). Here’s an example of how to use parentheses as an aside: Tater tots (or, as I like to call them, potato toddlers) are the best food in the world.

If your parenthetical clause ends your sentence, insert the period after your parentheses (not before). In fact,

STATE OF INDIANA COUNTY OF HAMILTON IN RE THE MARRIAGE OF: WARREN SIFRE, Petitioner/Husband, and SHERYL MINNICK, Respondent/Wife.

) ) SS: ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )

I just illustrated the point. To take things to the next level (like dipping your tots in sriracha ketchup), let’s discuss punctuation inside your parentheses. If the contents of your parenthetical clause form a complete sentence, add punctuation! The brand name Tater Tots is trademarked by Ore-Ida (they were “invented” in 1953

by Ore-Ida co-founders F. Nephi Grigg and Golden Grigg.).

That being said, you can certainly overuse parentheses in your writing.

This would be like running your Roomba all day, every day; instead of enhancing your life, it would just get in the way. If my Roomba (Rosie) sucked up the tater tots I left on the floor (I promise I was going to eat them later.), I’d have to sternly (in binary language, of course) reprimand her.

This over-utilization of parentheses gets in the way of an already interesting sentence. And — just like your relationship with your robot vacuum — never let parentheses (or tater tots) get in the way of a good thing.

To our readers

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Season’s greetings to you from all of us at Current Publishing!

It seems as though we just put to bed last year’s Gifts section, yet here we are finalizing the 2019 edition. Time speeds right along while we’re having fun, right? And fun should be one of the components of the holiday season, we believe.

(Leave room for reverence, remembrance, nostalgia and other feelings triggered by and at this time of year.)

So, as the song goes, “Oh, what fun … .”

We took a look at several possibilities for the theme of this year’s section, and “handmade” kept bubbling to the surface. The cover illustration by Zach Ross, our art director, captures exactly that idea.

Our managing editors, Ann Marie Shambaugh and Anna Skinner, sallied forth to find unique gift items made by hand, and there is some-

thing for everyone.

The elements you have grown fond of through the years of the Gifts section still are packaged inside. We tell you where to find Santa, what’s happening in your community and where you may go ice skating, among other pursuits.

We also help you get to know your community neighbors by pulling back the curtains on their holiday traditions and memories. In addition, you’ll find chefs’ menus and links to their recipes as well as a handful of what we call “didjas” – as in “did ja know?” – lots of holiday factoids that we believe you’ll find to be of interest and/or note.

Did someone mention fun?

We sincerely thank our advertisers for their participation that allows us to publish this annual special section, and we thank you for reading it.

More than anything, though, we hope for you and yours a safe, whole and fulfilling holiday season.

NOVEMBER 16 - DECEMBER 26

Indy holiday tradition

Celebrate the joy of the season and the spirit of giving with this Indy favorite! Scrooge, Tiny Tim, four spirits, and all of Victorian London come to life on our snow-covered stage for this holiday treasure infused with music and song.

à The image of Santa Claus flying his sleigh began in 1819 and was concepted by Washington Irving, the same author who created “The Headless Horseman.” à The Montgomery Ward department store created Rudolph the Reindeer as a marketing gimmick to encourage children to buy their Christmas coloring books. à Clement Moore’s poem introduced eight more reindeer for Santa’s sleigh, and their names were Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder and Blixem (the German words for thunder and lightning).

These later evolved into Donner and Blitzen.

From left, Jeff Schultz and his son, Ben, daughters Isabel and Jacqueline, wife, Amelia, and son, Daniel, visit Carmel’s Christkindlmarkt. (Submitted photo)

Jeff Schultz is a Carmel resident and lead pastor at Faith Church.

He answered the following questions about his family’s Christmas traditions.

How do you welcome the holidays? We have a homemade Advent calendar with special reminders of the season or a family memory for each day leading to Christmas.

Real tree or artificial? When do you decorate it? How long before it’s “done for the season?” Real.

We usually wait until they go on sale, so it gets decorated late! It’s done after New Year’s.

Favorite local shop and why? Silver in the City. We love the eclectic and creative selection.

Do the presents go under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped or do they “appear” Christmas Eve? Does Santa leave special gifts unwrapped? As soon as they’re wrapped. We make a big deal of stockings, though. They are a Christmas morning surprise.

Best gift you have ever given (and to whom)? I surprised my then-girlfriend with an engagement ring at Christmas.

Best gift you’ve ever received (and from whom)? See answer above – She said ‘Yes’ to me 29 years ago.

Favorite Christmas tradition?

Singing “Silent Night” on Christmas Eve in church by candlelight.

Favorite Christmas memory?

We always drove from one set of grandparents to the other on Christmas Day. I loved seeing both families – and more presents to open!

Favorite Christmas song? “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”

Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. One year, almost everyone came down with stomach flu – including family from out of town! I won’t go into details.

Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served? We dress up some for a family photo.

We will probably have baked ham, salad, potatoes, green beans and some kind of pie or cake.

All I want for Christmas is ... A less polarized and angry country. Or a chance to meet Weird Al Yankovic.

How do you welcome the holidays? We always kick off the holiday season the weekend after Thanksgiving with a trip to Piney Acres in Fortville. Then we go home, make some hot chocolate and decorate the house for the holidays while watching Christmas movies.

Real tree or artificial? A real tree.

Favorite local shop and why? You can frequently find me at Gallery 116, grabbing coffee at The Well or shopping for my son at Roman & Leo. Do the presents go under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped or do they “appear” Christmas Eve? Does Santa leave special gifts unwrapped? We put the presents under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped. It’s always fun to guess what everything could be.

Best gift you have ever given (and to whom)? The Christmas after my grandma died, I gave my mom a jar of “Kind Notes” with little notes and inspiring messages for the difficult time. She could pull out a note whenever she needed a pickme-up, and it was the perfect present for that time in our lives.

Best gift you’ve ever received (and from whom)? The Christmas after my son was born, my husband gave me a sapphire ring to accompany my wedding band. After my husband was born, his mom received a sapphire ring from his dad, so it’s a bit of a family tradition.

Favorite Christmas tradition?

Making Christmas cookies, decorating the tree, watching Christmas movies.

Favorite Christmas memory? In 2012, central Indiana was hit with a big snow storm right around Christmas, and many roads and

businesses around Indianapolis closed for several days. Both my husband and I had our offices close as well. It was unexpected to have the extra time off work around the holidays, and we had so much fun those few days. We hiked around in the snow, tested out our new Christmas presents and just spent time relaxing with family and friends.

Favorite Christmas song? My favorites are “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “Carol of the Bells” and “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”

Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. Our cats love to climb up in the tree and sleep on the branches. One year, they knocked the entire tree over.

All of the water at the base spilled out, ornaments broke, it was a mess.

Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served? Our dinner sort of floats between the two. We host Christmas, so we have family come to our house in the afternoon. My husband (the cook in our family) makes a ham, tons of sides and we have a big meal for Christmas lunch.

All I want for Christmas is ... A relaxing, stress-free time with my family.

Robyn and Mark Littler own Noble Coffee & Tea in downtown Noblesville.

(Submitted photo)

Robyn Littler owns Noble Coffee & Tea in downtown Noblesville with her husband, Mark. She answered the following questions about her family’s Christmas traditions.

How do you welcome the holidays? Since I’m at the coffee shop more than I’m at my own home, I love adding some fun decor to the shop’s shelves. Listening to some of my favorite holiday playlists also is a favorite pastime.

Real tree or artificial? When do you decorate it? How long before it’s “done for the season”? Typically, it’s been artificial, although it would be nice to have a real tree some year. I have lots of ornaments that have been passed down, so it’s generally a combination of those with some of the glass reproduction vintage-y-looking round ornaments. I try to make sure everything is down the first couple weeks of January.

Favorite local shop and why?

Can’t choose. Too many great merchants.

Do the presents go under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped or do they “appear” Christmas Eve?

Does Santa leave special gifts unwrapped? Now, gifts typically go under the tree as they’re wrapped, although I do recall Santa leaving special gifts unwrapped when I was growing up.

Favorite Christmas tradition?

Christmas Eve pajamas.

Favorite Christmas memory?

When I was a little girl, my grandpa would take us to downtown Indy to view the Christmas-tree lighting from what was then the Bank One building. It was something I looked forward to all year.

Favorite Christmas song?

“Greensleeves” Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. Honestly, not that I can recall.

Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served?

Generally, it’s casual and we attend Christmas dinner at a parent’s home.

All I want for Christmas is …

My closets and kitchen cabinets organized.

Matt Gaylor is the engagement pastor at NSPIRE Church in Westfield.

He answered the following questions about his family’s Christmas traditions.

How do you welcome the holidays? By decorating the house and listening to Michael Bublé’s Christmas album.

Real tree or artificial? When do you decorate it? How long before it’s “done for the season”?

Artificial tree. We decorate usually around Thanksgiving. We’ve been known to leave it up past New Year’s.

Favorite local shop and why?

Does Amazon count? Our local favorites are all restaurants. We love Lincoln Square for breakfasts together.

Do the presents go under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped or do they “appear” Christmas Eve? Does Santa leave special gifts unwrapped? No presents get put under the tree until Christmas Eve. Best gift you have ever given (and to whom)? The best gift we’ve given was two years ago. After we

lost our bulldog, Bruiser, we got a puppy for the kids. They love him so much.

Best gift you’ve ever received (and from whom)? My wife said “yes” when I proposed to her shortly before Christmas in 2005.

Favorite Christmas tradition? We would all pile in the truck and grab hot chocolate with our kids and go look at the Christmas lights at Reynolds in Fishers.

Favorite Christmas memory? It was one of our saddest and happiest Christmas seasons, when our dog died and then we got the kids a new puppy for Christmas.

Favorite Christmas song? I’m not sure I have one song. I love the Alabama Christmas album and Michael Bublé Christmas.

Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. Not that I can remember.

Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served? Casual.

All I want is mashed potatoes and noodles.

All I want for Christmas is ... Time with my family.

Gail Robbins is a Zionsville resident and a member of the Zionsville Lions Club. She answered the following questions about her family’s Christmas traditions.

How do you welcome the holidays? I actually like to start in the guest bedrooms. I make sure the beds are holiday festive. The flowers are a touch of winter. And the candy dish filled with colorful chocolates.

Real tree or artificial? When do you decorate it? How long before it’s “done for the season”? For years, I had the most beautiful 15foot tree brought in every year. I like to change themes every few years and we have moved, so now it’s an artificial tree.

Favorite local shop and why? I love to run all over our little town and pick up gifts, a little something from Lesley Jane, then stop in Zionsville Olive Tap.

Do the presents go under the tree as soon as they’re wrapped or do they “appear” Christmas Eve? Does Santa leave special gifts Remember electric trains? unwrapped? I love to wrap gifts.

Best gift you’ve ever received (and from whom)? My husband had taken a slide of the theater my mom managed, Michigan Theatre in South Haven, Mich., that a summer visitor had taken and sent to my mother. (My husband) Tom had it made into a picture, then asked an artist friend to paint it. I treasure it.

Favorite Christmas tradition?

Each grandchild reads one page of “The Night Before Christmas” with a Santa hat on their head and all shout the last page.

Favorite Christmas memory? We always included people that were alone.

Favorite Christmas song? “Away in a Manger.”

Have you ever had a Christmas mishap? Tell us about it. Maybe the time we were all dressed and eating away and our almost 3-year-old granddaughter starts gagging, with no doubt she was going to throw up all over the table.

So, I calmly put my hands out and caught it to everyone’s shock.

Christmas dinner: Formal or casual? What will be served? Dinners, no matter how many guests, are formal. I’ve always felt on Christmas Eve everyone can dress up. My husband makes a delicious standing rib roast with all the fixings.

All I want for Christmas is ... To help others. That’s why I’m a Zionsville Lion, that’s why I’m a Leader Dog for the Blind trustee. I have been blessed with all I’ll ever want in life.

Holidays may bring added stress with visiting friends and family, cold weather and other issues, but Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling staff are providing tips to make sure plumbing problems don’t contribute to seasonal angst.

Some of the most common holiday problems plumbers encounter are clogged kitchen drains, often caused by a turkey bone. But other Thanksgiving meal ingredients can cause clogs, too, such as eggshells and pasta.

“People don’t realize how bad eggshells are,” General Manager Michelle Hepburn said. “And obviously, grease is not a good idea, either.

Pasta is a bad one, and we see a lot of that.”

Moreover, with relatives assisting with cleanup, Hepburn said some of Summers’ plumbers have noticed silverware or excess food shoved down the drain because others may not be as careful in someone else’s home.

Hepburn also reminds those playing host to holiday get-togethers that dishwasher drains can clog, too, and dishes should always be scraped off.

When it comes to other drains in the house, plumbers notice an increase in baby wipes (although they don’t know why) clogging toilets. Baby wipes should never be flushed.

Per cold weather, Hepburn reminds homeowners of common prevention methods such as ensuring the crawl space entry is covered and unhooking garden hoses, but a lesser-known cause of frozen pipes is leaving the garage door open too long.

“If there’s any plumbing in the garage, close the garage door,” Hepburn said, noting small water lines freeze quickly.

Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling is at 15580 Herriman Blvd., Noblesville. It can be reached at 317-399-5665. For more, visit summersphc.com.
