Rebecca Stevens, executive director for the Humane Society for Hamilton County, likes to plan a big surprise for the Tinsel & pets Tails Holiday Petacular, the annual fundraiser at Ritz Charles. Usually, the reveal leads to tears of happiness in the crowd.

This year, Stevens herself received a big surprise. And she couldn’t hold back her emotion.

“I’m an ugly crier,” she laughed, moments after being told that $1.2 million will be donated to the county-wide animal shelter in the form on an anonymous donation in someone’s will. Nick and Ronda Weybright, who already organized a toga party in 2016 that raised $40,000 for HSHC, helped secure the gift that will help construct a new facility.

“This will go a long way, but our work’s not done,” Stevens said. “We desperately need more space to do the work our county deserves. In this county, we can do better.”

HSHC is a no-kill shelter than doesn’t turn away animals, and space is limited. There is no area to properly segregate sick pets from healthy ones. Cat cages are stacked in storage closets, hallways and in the entrance lobby. A kennel area filled with dogs is so loud with barking that it deters some would-be

adopters.

There were heartwarming stories of pets who were saved from dire situations and matched with loving homes, and the biggest applause came at the end, when Wesley Bolin, a veteran who spent eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps with several tours in Afghanistan, finally received his new dog.

Bolin suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and learned about the shelter’s Pets Healing Vets program. He was paired with Taz, a rescue dog, but had not received him until that night. Bolin greeted his dog with a big hug.

“It’s like coming home from a deployment,” he said. “It’s that same good feeling.”

City swears in five new police officers

The Noblesville Police Dept. held a ceremony last month to officially swear in five of its newest police officers. The officers are Brad Garrison, Brice Ferguson, Steven Meyer, Trevor Schmidt and Marley Cripe, and all were officially hired June 20. Shortly after being hired, the officers departed for the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainfield, where they spent 15 weeks receiving training in a variety of areas to include criminal and traffic law, firearms, emergency vehicle operations, human behavior, physical tactics and EMS awareness to name just a few. The officers successfully graduated from the law enforcement academy Oct. 20. Since graduating from the law enforcement academy, the officers have received in-service training and are in the 16-week Field Training and Evaluation Program. At the end of training, officers will have accumulated more than 39 weeks (1,560 hours) of training prior to being released to work as a police officer for the City of Noblesville.

Divorce What To Expect: Divorce and the Holidays

The stress of the holidays can be challenging for everyone, but for the children of separated or divorced parents, holidays can be especially difficult. Often, ex-spouses get so caught up in their own emotions and all the challenges associated with divorce, parents forget about the effects they have on their children. However, amidst the many disagreements between divorcing (or divorced) parents, there is at least one commonality---the children. And, despite this reality that many divorced families might encounter during the holiday season, there are several ways parents can help alleviate tensions for their children, maintain their own sanity, all while creating new, happy, holiday memories to forever cherish for years to come.

In Indiana, many parents with existing Court ordered custody and parenting time arrangements stipulate and agree to abide by the terms of the holiday parenting time schedule as put forth in the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, (“IPTG”). In any family law matter, however, the parties need not staunchly follow the IPTG holiday schedule and can agree to a schedule that best suits their family’s needs. That individualized schedule can be incorporated into the Court’s Order. For example, if there are longstanding holiday traditions that the parties wish to keep intact for the children subsequent to their separation, parents will often agree to such specific provisions and/or request the same from the Court when litigating the issue.

No matter if you decide to follow the IPTG or create your own schedule, with all the hustle and bustle of jam packed

holiday festivities, help alleviate any concerns about uncertain parenting time schedules by openly communicating prior to the holidays with the other parent. Minimize any conflict that might arise by putting all parenting time in writing or on a calendar that is copied, so that both parents have the exact same point of reference. Leave no room for interpretation or confusion.

Also, remember, the absolute best thing parents can do for their children during the holidays is to stay committed to keeping the children’s best interests at the forefront at all times. Throughout the holiday season, don’t forget to ask yourself if you are acting in the best interest of your child.

The importance of the holidays are to share time with loved ones and make lasting memories. Try to avoid involving the children in discussions and/or disagreements that you have with the other parent. Try not to lose sight, that family traditions help to ensure children’s security and stability, but have fun creating and incorporating new customs as you build memories. But most importantly, try to put any animosity aside for the other parent and embrace the holiday spirit! Happy Holidays!

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Schools to replace stadium turf

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Noblesville Schools announced Nov. 16 that its school board has approved the installation of new turf at the football stasports dium, Hare Chevrolet Field.

The district said the current turf is nearing the end of its lifespan, and that turf management is critical in providing a safe playing surface for student-athletes.

“We have been carefully monitoring the condition of our turf and have had to recently restrict its use by outside organizations to preserve safe conditions for our students,” said Jeff Bragg, director of operations for Noblesville Schools. “The new turf will provide us a safe playing surface at Hare for several

THE 2016-17 MILLER AMBASSADORS CLASS

Noblesville Schools community group aims to understand operating a district

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com This school year, Noblesville Schools has transformed one of its community programs into something entirely new – Miller Ambassadors. cover story Formerly serving as the district’s community advisory council, Miller Ambassadors is an outreach program for both parent and non-parent community members and leaders to immerse themselves into the operation of Noblesville Schools.

“We have had, for about 20 years, a group called the community advisory council, and it had been reconceived many times over the years in terms of what its purpose was,” said Marnie Cooke, Cooke director of marketing and communications at Noblesville Schools. “At times, the group also was used as a resource to gather input on potential referenda or redistricting.”

But Cooke said as the district started looking for ways to refresh bylaws and add more non-parent members of the community to the group, what came was a complete reinvention of the CAC. “The more we thought about it, the more we were like, ‘Let’s think big and just completely reimagine this,’” she said. “If we started with a clean sheet of paper, and we want to engage the community, what could that look like? So, what we came up with was the Miller Ambassadors program.”

Cooke said the district looked to emulate the model of the Hamilton County Leadership Academy on a smaller, schools-focused scale.

“The idea is that we invite approximately 25 people each year, in a class, to participate in this deep-dive learning experience across the district. This year, we invited all the members of the former community advisory council to have first dibs on those spots,” Cooke said.

“Participants will get to see the full breadth of the district, elementary, middle school, high school experiences, transportation, food service, extracurricular activities and more. They’re

going to have an engaging experience with small-group discussions, hands-on activities, tours, Q&A with leaders; it’s not just going to be in a lecture format. We’re teaching the Ambassadors class by modeling some of the same techniques we use to teach students.”

Now, nearly halfway through its first year, the group’s 25 members have already com-

pleted three of six sessions: “#MillerShift – How Noblesville Schools Does Teaching and Learning,” “The Business of Kids – School Finance, HR, School Board and Community Relations,” and “Explore You Passions – Extracurricular Options.”

After the holidays, in 2017, Miller Ambassadors will explore three more topics: “A Strong

Community leaders interested in becoming part of or learning more about the 2017-18 Miller Ambassadors class can email Cooke at marnie_cooke@nobl.k12.in.us or visit noblesvilleschools.org/page/7986.

WHAT IS THE MILLER AMBASSADORS PROGRAM? Mission statement: The Miller Ambassadors program is an engaging, year-long experience for select Noblesville community leaders and school-district parents to enjoy a deeper understanding of Noblesville Schools.

Program participants are exposed to all facets of running a district, including business management, academic programs, student services, operations and more. They have the opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge regarding the functioning of Noblesville Schools, participate in an extended dialogue with leadership on education is-

sues, and develop an understanding of how Noblesville Schools has created a unique culture of educational excellence that is studied by other high-performing school districts.

Ambassador participants will be student learners experiencing the program, as the district models its engaging and active education techniques throughout the class. Ambassador graduates are partners in sharing Noblesville Schools’ vision throughout the community and will continue to engage with the district through future project teams and input-gathering opportunities.

The perfect bedroom

FR O M T H E BA C KS H O P Random thoughts and key question We sincerely hope your Thanksgiving was fulfilling in many ways. Here is an array of random thoughts cobbled before shipping our papers off to press early: • Oxford Dictionaries declared its “Word of the Year” is post-truth. We don’t understand what’s wrong with the truth: It’s “lie,” something at which both major political parties are rather adept.

• Horrors: Incoming first lady Melania Trump will not be dressed by designer Sophie Theallet, who has provided outfits for outgoing first lady Michelle Obama.

Theallet opposes President-elect Donald Trump on many position points, so she is taking her fabrics and is going home.

• With Trump still needing to complete his cabinet, we were more than a little worried that former presidential vote loser Mitt Romney may be incoming secretary of state by the time you read this.

• Applause for President Barack Obama, who last week said everyone needs to give Trump a chance, until Trump proves he doesn’t deserve one. That could happen on one or more fronts sooner than later. We shall see.

• The Wambulance Brigade was circulating a photo on social media of an honest-togoodness ambulance whose livery was made over as a “crying post” for “millennials, snowflakes and cupcakes.” It was emblazoned with: “All liberals welcome.

Coloring books and crayons provided.”

Funny stuff at first glance. On second, no need to further the back-and-forth. They will wake up one day – hopefully to a better America.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Pros and cons Commentary by Terry Anker This political season has, as expected, proven to have more of a half-life than a dirty bomb. And, many find themselves in an endless loop of angry social media posts and aspersions cast by both friends and relatives. Well, such is the nature of our civic experiment. The Founders faced it. And we do, too. Their commitment to political activism, if failed, led to lifelong imprisonment, loss of worldly assets, or execution. So, we can rest in firm confidence that our burden has been carried before – yet, it was at significantly greater personal risk.

Still, we are confronted with our own challenges. It seems that all issues have been subdivided – all too neatly – into camps. Are we pros or cons? Regardless of the complexity of the matter, our elected officials, media elites, and academics have asserted that one must be either pro or con. But, how do we know our own stripes? Aren’t these issues more nuanced than can be neatly labeled and segre-

gated? Can one be pro-immigration and at the same time con-illegal action?

Please understand that there is no intended secret code directed at the reader. Can one be a stalwart when the opposing view is also, at least from some perspective, a view that is widely held?

For purposes of vote-getting and the cold pursuit of power, have we minimized important issues to the point that they have lost their core, fundamental question? The duality of we humans necessarily leads to complex questions. At once, we hope for a perfect world and live in one that is all too imperfect. Shouldn’t our rhetoric reflect this inherent conflict? Are we pro-con and con-pro? If we understand the complication of the issues, wouldn’t we be able to find a bit more patience for those still measuring the alternatives?

Q U O T E O F T H E WEEK “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”

– William Arthur Ward

How do gray walls, a turquoise comforter and a purple shag sound? I can also include an outdated desktop computer, humor three shelves of dance trophies and an authentic 1920s over-sized vanity. Need more? What about a nail-polish stained, used-to-be-white carpet and – since it’s the season – twinkle lights, plastic garland and a recycled Christmas tree?

Deal? Sold! The perfect bedroom for a 12-yearold girl.

It’s also the absolute worst nightmare for a mom who can’t tolerate clutter, crazy or catastrophic levels of cat commemorations.

And yet every night I’m forced to enter said bedroom to tuck my youngest in. Psychedelic sights and vaguely recognizable smells assault my every sense as I cautiously make my way to her, careful not to step on tap shoes, Harry Potter books and an everlasting assortment of lip gloss.

Frankly, it’s a miracle I haven’t seriously harmed myself. I know she’s growing at least three types of fungus in her closet alone. And don’t even get me started about the number of clothes she’s purchased/collected/hoarded.

If she’s not spending her chore money at Ulta Beauty Supply, you can be sure she’s buying yet another elephant tee from Ivory Ella.

Compounding the insanity, the room is only 10 by 10. I may be poking fun at my tiny dancer, but I can’t argue against her extraordinary gift for maximizing space. In addition to a desk and a vanity, she’s crammed in a bed, some bookcases and at least three end tables. Purportedly, she also houses vast collections of Moshi monster toys, makeup and school supplies amidst the décor, though I can’t actually say where.

No matter. My only goals are to ensure she doesn’t set the place on fire and that no dairy products are left to congeal. I’m actually quite proud of my tolerance level concerning her room, which of course is based entirely on the requirement that her door remain closed. And when I must enter, I just make sure to kill the lights first to minimize any adverse physiological reactions. This is, after all, not my place of refuge, but that of a 12-year-old girl.

Peace out.

Matthew Cook, president of Riley Children’s Health.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 3,500 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly each year in the U.S. Indiana has the 10th highest infant mortality rate in the U.S. When used properly, sleep sacks ensure safe sleep for newborns and help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Representatives of IU Health and the Indianapolis Colts, as well as the state health commissioner, stress the importance of following the new ABC guidelines of safe sleeping for babies.

McAnally to perform Dec. 1 at Warehouse

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Madeleine Peyroux brought down the house at The Warehouse in Carmel. If you have not been to The Warehouse, I urge you to grab your friends and go. It’s like attending an intimate ‘one-on-one’ experience right in your very own living room. The acoustics, lighting and atmosphere are amazing, and owner Heather Ramsey knows how to pack a house where performers are the main attraction and deliver.

Where’s Amy has been a fan of Madeleine Peyroux since the 1990s and was mesmerized by her warm, jazzy voice and

Warehouse owner and musician Heather Ramsey with Madeleine Peyroux.

inviting poetic lyrics. I sat in awe as Peyroux sang for hours, ending the night with two well-deserved standing ovations.

Hands-down, Madeleine Peyroux is one of my all-time favorite concerts of the year. Be sure to check out The Warehouse’s exciting lineup, including a few of my No. 1 picks - Mac McAnally and just in time for the holidays “A Tribute to The Carpenters” featuring the fabulous Heather Ramsey. Where’s Amy can’t wait to see you there. For more, visit liveforthemusic.com and madeleinepeyroux.com.

Warehouse owner Heather Ramsey with Courtney Rousseau, Madeleine Peyroux and Pascal Rousseau posed for Where’s Amy and lucky VIP guest Pascal left with a signed vinyl LP.

Mac McAnally starts out with a set list for his concert, but it seldom lasts.

Best known as a songwriting partner of music Jimmy Buffett and a member of Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, McAnally has written songs for Kenny Chesney and Alabama, among others, as well as for his own solo albums.

“I’ve had a quirky career that’s gone four decades now,” McAnally said. “If Mac McAnally will perform Dec. there’s a lot of Buffett fans 1 at the Warehouse. (Submitted there, they like to hear things photo).

Jimmy and I have written together that are on his records. I’ve written things that were country hits for other folks, so if (fans) yell out that, I tend to give up control of the set list five or six songs in. I’m happy to go in any direction the crowd wants to go.”

McAnally, whose concert is sponsored by Kingston’s Music Showcase, will perform at 8 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Warehouse, 254 First Ave., Carmel.

“My songs are detailed stories that benefit from a listening room environment,” McAnally said.

One Buffett song he helped write that he sings is, “It’s My Job.” “I play that to remind myself it’s important to do my best,” McAnally said.

McAnally usually plays two songs he wrote for Chesney, “Back Where I Came From” and “Down the Road.”

He does plan to play a couple of songs from his 2015 album, “AKA Nobody.”

“I’m more of a sideman than a guy in the middle of the stage, but I do enjoy performing,” he said.

McAnally, who plays guitar, will be joined by Coral Reefer bandmate Eric Darken (percussion).

“Most of my career is me playing solo, so having other guys to sort of jam off of is a bonus for me and I think the crowd, too,” McAnally said. “I get to improvise in a way you don’t get to when you’re just playing solo.”

McAnally’s peers elected him as County Music Association Musician of the Year for the 10th time and a record eighth year in row in 2015.

“My standard line is I demand a recount every time,” McAnally said. “But, honestly, it does mean a lot to me.”

Tailgater Christmas shopping, Part Two Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley Writing a column about tailgating requires more than giving recipes. It also obligates us to try out all kinds of equipment so that we can make recommendations to our readers of what to own to make their tailgating experiences better. Over the years, we’ve tried three types of flag poles, two types of ovens, scores of coolers, a dozen types of grills, different stoves, six different types of chairs and an almost endless number of other things like cushions with bladders so that you can sneak a beverage into the stadium. Also, we observe what other tailgaters use for their equipment and gadgets. We get their opinions on gadgets we think could be useful.

This past season, as always, we experienced fellow tailgaters looking at our tailgate equipment as they would pass our parking space. Some even stop to ask us about particular pieces of equipment. One item that drew extra attention was our Coleman Portable Stove Oven Combo. It looks just like a kitchen range, only a bit smaller. The neat thing is, it functions exactly the same as one you might have in your kitchen.

Its two 6,000 BTU burners can hold one 12” pot and one 10” pot. We use them to hold things like a pot of chili or skillets for eggs and sausages. Its oven has an output of 15,000 BTU with a temperature gauge. We use it to heat breakfast casseroles, pizza and breads. But we also use it to completely bake biscuits, cornbread or cookies. This oven and stove are stainless steel and run for more than 90 minutes with all burners on high using a simple 16 oz. propane cylinder.

The Coleman Portable Stove Oven Combo could make a good gift for a tailgater. (Submitted photo)

To compare this appliance to an average kitchen range, we turned to SFGATE’s home guide and found that the non-commercial kitchen range’s small burners operate at 5,000 BTU and their all-burner average is 7,000 BTU. Their ovens heat on average from 5,000 to 10,000 BTU. So this Coleman model compares well to those in most home kitchens.

The reason we bring all these benefits up now is that this stove oven combo will make a great Christmas gift for your favorite tailgater. Coleman has it available on its website (coleman.com) starting at $324.99, reduced to $259.99 and with a pop-up instant offer of $218.95. It is also available at Amazon and EBay, and if you are lucky, at a local hardware, sporting goods or big box outlet. Just go online and find one of these appliances and check out where to buy it.

Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” and is considered the “Father of American Tailgating.” His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.

Five kitchen trends to look for in 2017 Commentary by David Decker With the end of the year fast approaching, kitchen designers are excited to see what new trends are in store for the new year.

While some of home improvement these will be new and innovative, others will pay tribute to the past.

Here is a list of trends we anticipate seeing in kitchens designed in 2017.

1. Simplistic Design – Many kitchens are now eliminating the heavy and ornate details, and keeping things monochromatic and minimalistic. Neutral color palettes and shaker- or slab-style cabinetry paired with simple subway tile help to create the airy and inviting space that many homeowners are seeking.

2. Black and White Design – These classic hues prove to always be in style.

Many consumers are loving the look of white cabinets with a contrasting black countertop mixed with classic white ceramic subway tile and black cabinet hardware. These striking features make a bold and beautiful statement.

3. Refining Past Designs – No, we aren’t suggesting tie-dying your kitchen or

installing lava lamps and neon lights, but we are seeing a huge comeback in acrylic and gold finishes.

Scandinavianstyle acrylic cabinets and satin brass finishes give a contemporary flare to these old styles and bring them into the 21st century.

4. Quartz, Quartz, Quartz – In today’s society, the practicality of quartz far outweighs the natural beauty of granite.

Low-maintenance monochromatic or marble look-a-like quartz counters are more appealing than busy granite tops that need routine TLC. 5. Function over Form – Touchless faucets, cabinet accessories, charging stations and LED undercabinet lighting will soon become standard when it comes to designing a kitchen. The kitchen is
