By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The plan between the City of Westfield and the Indiana Dept. of Transportation to widen Ind. 32 was sealed this fall.

Yet, it will take time, Westfield ROADS Mayor Andy Cook cautioned.

“It is not an overnight project,” Cook said at a Westfield Chamber of Commerce luncheon Nov. 15 at The Bridgewater Club in Westfield.

“Like (U.S.) 31, will it be painful? Yes, it will.

Now we look at 31 and we hardly remember that pain. Look what that has done for our city. There would be no Grand Park if there wasn’t a 31 freeway.”

The agreement is a 50/50 split of $15 million to widen Ind. 32 from Poplar Street to East Street, which Cook calls a critical half-mile.

The cost includes right-of-way acquisition, construction and construction management.

“The part I’m most excited about is that although it’s their property, our engineering and (Director) Jeremy (Lollar) and his Public Works Dept. will manage the project along with INDOT,” Cook said.

Cook said by having its public works department work with INDOT, the city can have much more impact on the maintenance of traffic and how to deal with merchants downtown.

“You read all the time how businesses are affected by construction,” he said.

Cook said Structurepoint, which did the original schematic design, will lead the development during the next six to eight years.

Cook said there are two schematic plans, the Ind. 32 piece and Jersey Street extension piece.

Cook said the task is how to plan for a four-lane Ind. 32 piece to be as efficient as it can be.

“We need to turn this challenge into an asset and there are several ways we can work at doing this,” Cook said.

Right now, the planning is assessing the needs of downtown. Cook said the survey

Centier gives back — During a time of the year in which many nonprofits are stepping up to help those in need, Centier Bank is seeking to reward these organizations through “Giving Days,” a program designed to raise funds for nonprofits through mid-December. The nonprofits selected for “Giving Days” include Habitat for Humanity of Hamilton County, Hamilton County Youth Assistance and Chaucie’s Place. For every visitor mentioning “Giving Days” to a Centier associate, the bank will donate $10 to a participating organization.

won’t be complete until the end of 2019.

“How does it affect our city? What archaeological and historical items need to be protected?” Cook said. “All of this takes place over the next two years.”

In 2020, Structurepoint and Westfield Dept. of Public Works will propose what needs to happen in downtown Westfield.

“At that time, we’ll have rousing public discussions on which one of these (plans) look best, what is going to be effective,” Cook said.

“Then, after we select what it will be, then we have a whole other year on a specific design on that plan.”

In 2022, construction likely would begin and probably would be completed in the summer of 2024.

The Jersey Street extension will begin with preliminary engineering in 2019, followed by Hamilton County Tourism places banners around county — Hamilton County Tourism recently put up four banners in each of the four cities for the public to write notes of gratitude or say something that they are thankful for this season. The banners have been placed at Nickel Plate Arts in Noblesville, Grand Park in Westfield, the Monon Center in Carmel and City Hall in Fishers.

construction in December 2020 and completion by the summer of 2021.

“We’ll have hearings and then we’ll decide what is the best route to take this piece to alleviate traffic,” Cook said. “That piece is not only badly needed to serve the people in the southeast quadrant, but to give better access east and west.”

INDOT had a plan to reconstruct Ind. 32 from Westfield to Noblesville in 2028, but there were no plans to add lanes.

Cook said he hopes everyone will see the value in the Ind. 32 decision.

“It’s creating a unique destination. It is encouraging small business, unique businesses to utilize what we have,” Cook said. “Historical-wise, we are going to honor everything we can. We also want our people to recognize we are truly making history now.”

Westfield High School asks for Christmas decorations — Westfield High School is looking for any Christmas decorations residents will donate.

Church renovates education wing

By Noah Alatza news@currentinwestfield.com Westfield Christ United Methodist Church’s preschool recently unveiled a renovated education wing.

GROWTH In 1974, the church purchased 7 acres north of Penn Street and began construction on the building’s current location, 318 N. Union St. The CUMC preschool opened an education wing in 1986.

Senior Pastor David Ballinger said following recent water damage throughout the education wing, the church remodeled several rooms.

“We basically had to add all new windows, fix some walls and remodel certain rooms,” he said. “This is helpful for our needs with children’s ministry spaces and adult ministry spaces. We remodeled all of that area and so we are going to be thanking our trustees, who are basically our property team.”

Ballinger said the church was not planning on remodeling, but that a building nearly 30 years old can always use some updates.

“The remodeled space will help to meet

our current needs better and to administer to our community in a more effective way,” he said.

On Nov. 18, the day of the unveiling, a 10:30 a.m. worship service recognized Westfield High School graduate Emily Settle, who was diagnosed with leukemia her freshman year of college. The worship focused on thanking God for his work.

“This is a culmination of our stewardship month by supporting the church with prayers, presence and witnesses,” Ballinger said.

Autumn leaves: Beautiful or dangerous?

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

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

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

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

Too much of these nutrients can create algal blooms, low levels of oxygen and harm the aquatic life. This pollution also can threaten business and economic sectors that rely on high-quality water. In Indiana, specifically, nutrient overload is having a negative economic impact. It increases the cost of public water treatment and reduces the recreational use of lakes for swimming and boating, according to the Indiana State

Dept. of Agriculture. Additionally, recent estimates by the Environmental Protection Agency suggest nitrogen and phosphorus buildup in the water costs the U.S. at least $2.2 billion annually.

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

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

Adopt A Storm Drain — The Alliance also offers the chance for members of your community to adopt a storm drain through their Clear Choices Clean Water initiative. When adopting a storm drain, residents pledge to keep the storm drain clean and free from leaves and debris and report any polluters.

River cleanups — Another way to serve the community is to participate in or plan a river cleanup. The Alliance works with many partners throughout the year to host cleanups, but you can pledge to organize your own river cleanup as well.

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

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

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

Kilian, the executive director of the foundation, announced a strategic plan to accompany the name change.

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

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

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

The foundation was established in 1991 to address specific needs within the county and provide residents with the opportunity

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com GINGERBREAD HOUSES

Residents will experience holiday cheer at the annual Westfield in Lights event from 3 to 7 p.m. Dec. 1 COVER STORY in downtown Westfield.

In addition to returning features such as the reindeer petting zoo, live music, pictures with Santa and more, Westfield in Lights will offer new activities for families to enjoy.

Visitors can watch an ice sculptor carve a snowman out of a block of ice from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. A character artist will provide free sketches throughout the event. Other new features include a rock-influenced Christmas performance by Bach to Rock instructors; photos with the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who; and five new vendors in the Sugar Plum Shoppes.

Train line starts here

Main stage schedule From 4:30 to 4:50 p.m., the Oak Trace Treble Choir will perform on the Main Stage, just northeast of Main and Penn streets. A reindeer show will be from 5 to 5:20 p.m.

Pictures with Santa also will be at the church. Pictures with Frosty will be at City Hall, 130 Penn St. A train will transport residents within the event space. Westfield Friends Church will feature a live Nativity at Hadley Park, at the northeast quadrant of Main and Union streets.

“So many components of our city are involved in Westfield in Lights. The schools, churches, businesses and service organizations embrace this event and this time of year,” Community Events Manager Kelley Wells said. “It’s a lot of fun for all ages and it is the perfect backdrop to create traditions and memories.”

The future of Westfield in Lights

Grand Junction Plaza continues to take shape, and Communications Director Vicki Duncan Gardner said Westfield in Lights plans to move to the plaza when construction is complete.

“Part of the goal is to make downtown a place where people can connect and come together,” Gardner said. “Having a facility like Grand Junction Plaza is going to be perfect for an event like Westfield in Lights.”

Girl Scouts will display gingerbread houses in Christ United Methodist Church. Attendees can use pennies to vote for their favorites.

Where to park Westfield in Lights attendees have several parking options. The main lots include: • Christ United Methodist Church, 318 N.

ESSAY

LETTER

False impressions

A case of the roundabouts

Commentary by Terry Anker We live in an age of swift and irreversible judgment. Accusation, if acutely leveraged, has the effect of judge, jury and executioner. Our prejudices lead us to the warm corners of our own confirmation bias – we find and digest only that which agrees with that with which we already agree. Ordinarily, inconsequential or naïve utterances are used as blunt instruments to destroy decades-long careers, family relationships and trusted institutions. The English Bard, William Shakespeare, reminded us that “suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.” But he might have added note of the corrosive effect it has on us all.

Like the eroding result the irresistible forces of nature have on the seemingly impenetrable ancient stone fortresses, the constant aspersion of the detractors amongst us debases our trust in each other and in our communal organizations.

Seeming truisms – trust no one – become false demigods. Can we live in the complete absence of trust?

Should we? Is it even correct to imagine that not one human can be trusted – ever, in any circumstance?

Regardless, we plod on, wary of the motive and intention of others.

We isolate ourselves in eternally smaller identity groups, eager to exclude any who fail to conform to our increasingly doctrinaire vetting of their likely natures. The 1930s radio show character, The Shadow, claimed: “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

The Shadow knows!” Yet, given his almost supernatural deductive powers, The Shadow still had to discern between actual guilt and its mere perception. Appearances deceive us. Motives are often complicated, and things are routinely not as they seem.

Avoiding December disasters Commentary by Danielle Wilson This is it, people. The season of parenting Olympics is upon us, and as a 20-year survivor of the most exhausting of HUMOR months, I’d like to offer some hard-earned advice. After all, we don’t want a repeat of 2009, do we?

• Just say no. No to making an extra batch of homemade sprinkle cupcakes for your first-grader’s teacher (she wants cash, anyway!). No to hosting a mother-daughter holiday tea for Scout Troop 176. And a big, fat no to anything that involves glitter and/or licking more than 11 envelopes.

• If you ignored No. 1 and said yes to Elf on the Shelf, there’s not a lot I can do for you now. My best advice is a late arrival (“Pickleknuckle’s flight was delayed. Stupid ATL”) and a fake broken leg (“Honey, it’s really hard for PK to move around. Santa said he should stay put”).

• Clearly articulate plans to all parties in advance, and if possible, in writing. Having definitive dates, times and locations ahead of time allows for the necessary mental and emotional preparation for dealing with in-laws, politically polarizing family and sugarcookie-crazed rugrats and provides opportunity for the stockpiling of Maker’s and the orchestration of multiple escape routes.

• Amazon Prime.

• Make lists. Check them twice. Gifts, chores, grocery, honey-do, Netflix mustwatches, “Reasons I Should Be Mom of the Year,” whatever.

Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.”

–Albert Einstein

Editor, We moved to Fishers in 1977. The population was 900, and I went to my present doctor for the first time in 1982 when he was on Allisonville Road in Fishers. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Zionsville.

It is a long haul over 116th Street. Recently, I went to see him because of a condition which I felt might be a form of vertigo. It comes and goes, usually when I am driving. Like vertigo, things go around and round, and it’s scary. I don’t like things to go around and round, especially when I’m driving.

Now, the good doctor is a smart man. He diagnosed the heart problem that led to my life-saving surgery. He smiled and left the room, returning with an iPad on which he had downloaded a map of 116th Street from Fishers to Zionsville. He pointed to eight intersections from the beginning of my trip to the end.

“The around and round gave it away!

You don’t have vertigo, you have ‘roundaboutigo,’” he said.

I left knowing the good doctor had done it again but realizing there is no cure for anyone living in Hamilton County. I will have “roundaboutigo” for life.

George Cottrell, Fishers

Now hear this Commentary by Dick Wolfsie “You need to have your hearing tested,” my wife said. “I’ve told you that a hundred times.”

HUMOR “I only remembered 60, but maybe I didn’t hear the other 40 suggestions.”

I took a hearing test online. I was instructed to wear headphones and sit in a quiet room. All the rooms in my house are very quiet — even the laundry room when I am doing the wash. Hmmm, that is a little peculiar.

I was prompted to click on a green button if I heard a sound. I clicked every single time because I realized this was just a scam to sell me a hearing aid, which I clearly don’t need. Sure enough, they called me 10 minutes after I finished.

“Mr. Wolfsie, thank you for selecting the Republic Hearing Company.”

“Wait, isn’t the election over? And I’m not Republican.”

“Sir, we are calling about the hearing test you just took online.”

I agreed to see their hearing loss professional. They sent me a form to fill out.

SEE IF YOU MAY HAVE HEARING LOSS

Why were they yelling at me in bold capital letters? I wanted to determine if I’m hard of hearing, not hard of seeing. I tried to give honest answers to the survey questions.

Do others complain that you watch TV with the volume too high?

Every night, my wife comes into the bedroom while I’m watching “The Late Show” and says, “I can’t believe how loud this is.” I know she is saying that because I can read lips.

Can you hear people in another room?

No. That is the major reason I went into another room in the first place.

Do you sometimes hear ringing in your ears?

If dog barking follows, I know it means there is someone at the door.

My audiologist appointment is next week.

“Does he have a good reputation?” my wife asked.

“I have no idea,” I said. “I haven’t heard a thing.”

DISPATCHES States with lowest tax burdens — Tax time has appeared on the horizon, if you can see past the holidays. Depending on where you live, April 15, 2019 may be a more or less dismal prospect. Here are some states that actually look pretty attractive given the level of the taxes imposed by the state and local governments, according to a study recently released by Wallet Hub. The top 10 are, in order, Alaska Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Alabama, Montana, Virginia and Idaho.

Source: Investmentnews.com Indiana residential construction up — According to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Indiana has seen a 6 percent increase in new residential construction starts for the first nine months of 2018. The 1,277 permits pulled in September of 2018 remain flat from the data pulled in September of 2017. “Amid recent economic challenges, builder confidence is continuing to escalate as the demand for new housing follows,” Indiana Builders Association President Pat Richard said. Permit numbers

did decrease substantially between the months of August 2018 and September 2018.

However, the August-September drop is a repeating trend, according to the historic data released by the United States Census Bureau over the past 10 years.

Altogether, the new penalties are worth $257 billion. Unless President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jingping can come to terms in upcoming talks between the two leaders, the trade war is likely to worsen.

That represents a major blow for investors seeking viable stocks to buy. However, that doesn’t mean you should entirely give up on the markets. Here are seven stocks to buy while you wait out the trade war: Proctor & Gamble; Costco; Altria Group; AMC Entertainment; SPDR Gold Trust; Intel; and NTT Docomo.

DISPATCHES All-natural childhood flu prevention methods — Whether or not your child gets vaccinated for the flu is a personal choice that only you as a parent should make. But regardless of your decision, it’s essential to take other steps to support your child’s immune system to reduce his/her risk of catching the flu and to increase the child’s ability to recover quickly if illness does occur. And the good news is, you don’t need harsh drugs to do this. Here are few recommendations.

• Sleep: No medicine is a substitute for adequate and quality sleep. Make sure your child gets eight to 10 hours a night..

• Fish oil: It helps with brain function, energy and healthy hormone development in growing kids. Though it does not directly act as an antiviral, a fish oil supplement strengthens the body, which promotes a robust immune system.

• Elderberry and echinacea root: These immune-supporting herbs are safe to take on a daily basis for several months.

Research shows that people who take both of these plant medicines throughout flu season have a lower risk for viral illnesses, including colds.

• Muco coccinum: This homeopathic flu medicine can be an alternative to the flu vaccination. It contains infinitesimal amounts of flu virus—much less than is present in a flu vaccine—and helps the body defend against the flu.

‘Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ set for CCP

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This normally would not be the type of play that longtime Carmel Community Players board member Lori PLAY Raffel would choose to direct.

“I usually pick edgier shows, but no one would submit a Christmas show,” said Raffel, a Carmel High School graduate who lives in Indianapolis. “I don’t have any family left. I don’t go anywhere (at Christmas). I thought, ‘I’ll just bite the bullet and I’ll do the Christmas show.’”

Raffel struggled finding a show she wanted to do until someone suggested she read the script.

“I thought it has a great lesson to it and it’s not preachy and it’s not cheesy,” Raffel said. “It’s really funny and I think kids and adults will like it.”

CCP’s production of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” will run Nov. 29 to Dec. 9 at Studio 37 in Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy, 10029 E. 126th St., Fishers.

“The stage is bigger and there is a curtain, and for this show, the curtain is very important,” Raffel said.

Raffel said she cast several members of Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy’s dance students.

“It was hard to find boys (to cast),” Raffel said. “So, the Herdman family is supposed to be girls and boys but now it’s just one boy and the rest are girls.”

The cast includes 12 children and five adults. The story revolves around a Christmas pageant at the church. There is a new director but the woman normally in charge breaks her leg.

“They talk this poor mother into doing it,” Raffel said. “The Herdmans, kind of a welfare family with the parents not around, come because they hear at church you get refreshments for free. They show up and end up getting all the big parts.”

Raffel said everyone tells the director it’s going to be a disaster and the Herdmans are bullies.

“In the end, it’s the best Christmas pageant ever because everyone learns they are pretty cool kids after all,” Raffel said.

Raffel said she put some singing in the show because the cast are such good

singers.

Fishers resident Joe Meyers plays the pastor. His wife, Lee, plays one of the church members.

“We met in 1980 playing husband and wife in a play called ‘My Daughter, Your Son,’ in Terre Haute,” Joe Meyers said. “We enjoyed it, so we made it permanent.”

Joe Meyers has been acting since 1956.

“I started in 1950 when I was a mere lass,” Lee Meyers said.

Westfield Middle School seventh-grader Maya Davis is performing for the first time with CCP. She has previously performed with Westfield Playhouse. Davis plays Imogene Herdman.

“I like that she is mean and sassy,” Davis said. “I like the change she goes through and she has some killer lines, as my mom puts it. She shows her soft side as the show goes on.”

Carmel residents Steven Marsh and his wife Nikki Vrtis, along with their son, Sam Vrtismarsh, are in the production.

Marsh plays Bob Bradley and Vrtismarsh plays his son, Charlie. Vrtis plays one of

the church women.

“I’m on stage a lot and don’t say anything. The times that I do talk I have some pretty funny lines,” said Vrtismarsh, a Carmel Middle School sixth-grader.

Vrtismarsh played one of the Herdman children in the same play in 2014 at Westfield Playhouse.

“He was one of the bratty Herdman kids.

Now, he’s playing the good kid,” Marsh said. “This is the second time we played father and son on stage. We played in “The Nerd” for Westfield Playhouse.”

Vrtis is making her acting debut, although she did play the Wicked Witch in a “Hansel and Gretel” play in kindergarten. “(Vrtis) started reading for people and I just kind of hooked her in,” Raffel said.

Vrtis looks forward to her small part.

“It’s not a huge role, so there are not too many lines to learn,” Vrtis said. “It’s just getting on stage at the right time. I’m hoping I can remember (the lines) once I have an audience.”

Time for ‘A Little Christmas Spirit’

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com Virtually all plays have a unique set of staging challenges, and Main Street Productions, Inc.’s presentation of THEATER “A Little Christmas Spirit” is no exception.

But director Kat Watson prefers to leave it at that.

“I can’t answer this one much or it will give away a bit of a surprise,” she said. “But the play takes place in both 1990 and 1950 at the same time. Now, figure that one out.”

Featuring a main cast predominantly of Hamilton County residents, “A Little Christmas Spirit” begins an eight-show run Nov. 30 at Westfield Playhouse, 1836 W. Ind. 32.

The final performance is Dec. 16.

Written by Pat Cook, “A Little Christmas Spirit” tells the story of J.D. Morris, who has been searching desperately for a special gift for his grandson. After wandering into Nick’s Emporium and finding what he’s been looking for, he receives a surprise when he returns to pay for the item: The store is vacant.

Main cast members from Hamilton County are Thom Johnson (Noblesville) as Nick; Nate Piggush (Fishers) as Jerry Morse; Cindy Dun-

DeYoung brings ‘Grand Illusion’

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Former Styx lead singer Dennis DeYoung never understood the attraction of performing an entire album, start to CONCERT finish, in concert.

“My theory is on any album, no matter how great it is, there is always a song or two that you think, Does anybody really need to hear that one again?” DeYoung said. “The fans responded so positively, we said, ‘OK.’ My observation after having done this for a long time, the fans are pretty important. Without them, I’d be in my basement playing with my trained parrot.”

DeYoung, 71, will present the 40th anniversary tour of the “The Grand Illusion” album at 8 p.m. Nov. 30 at the Palladium in Carmel.

“It started as a lark on the 40th anniversary of the day it was released, July 7, 1977,” DeYoung said. “I decided to do that one show in Chicago and sold it out. People reacted so positively to it that my manager and I decided to try it again in December and sold it again. We thought, ‘What’s going on here?’ So, we decided we would offer it

to promoters, and 25 different cities came in immediately to do the show. It continues because promoters keep wanting that show.”

DeYoung, one of the founding members of Styx, was fired from the group in 1999 after he wanted the other band members to postpone the tour because of an illness that temporarily made his eyes sensitive. His bandmates refused and replaced him. DeYoung, who had creative differences about the band’s direction, wrote seven of Styx’s eight Top 10 Billboard singles.

Address: 201 W. Main St., Carmel What to get: Jumbo sea scallops Price: $38 Anna’s take: Anthony’s Chophouse has a variety of terrific dishes, and I tried several, but the jumbo sea scallops were by far my favorite. The scallops are pan-seared, served on top of a creamy cotija polenta and topped with chorizo and black beans.

It’s a lighter dish that doesn’t feel as heavy as steak or pork chops (which also were delicious), but the scallops are meaty and tender.

Before my main course, I sampled the tuna tataki ($16), which is sushi-grade tuna with pickled asparagus and jalapenos on the side. A wasabi avocado crema adorned the plate and was a great way to add just

a touch of spice without being overbearing.

The tuna tataki is dusted with a wonton crumb and the tuna slices are thick and tender.

I also sampled the kale cherry salad — tossed kale, green apples, dried cherries and figs drizzled with a balsamic gastrique and lemon cherry vinaigrette. The salad combines sweet and tangy flavors.

If you aren’t a scallops fan, try the Berkshire Chop ($31) as an entree. It is a center-cut, bone-in and slow-braised pork chop, served on top of puffed barley, which is the restaurant’s play on risotto. Topping the pork is a tangy balsamic gastrique and a thick, sweet strawberry chutney which makes this dish taste like the holidays.

Anthony’s Chophouse serves its side dishes family style. A good option is the creamy mac ($12), a delicious combo of gemelli pasta, serrano peppers, tomato skin, gouda cream and white corn crisp on top. If you’re looking for a healthier option, try the broccolini ($11).

It’s served with shaved almonds, dried cherries and a white wine vinaigrette.

Suggested pairings: Anthony’s Chophouse has excellent, unique cocktail selections and I would suggest going with one of those. My personal favorites are the Chophouse Old Fashioned and the Dirty Dancer – a spicy play on a vodka martini with sriracha.

Behind bars: The Dirty Dancer Get it at Anthony’s Chophouse, Carmel Ingredients: 3 oz. Tito’s vodka, dry vermouth, .75 oz. dirty mix, 4 drops sriracha, 2 stuffed olives Directions: Rinse a martini glass with dry vermouth. Add vodka, dirty mix, sriracha and ice to a shaker tin and shake vigorously. Strain into chilled martini glass and garnish with two stuffed olives.

Fairground Saints unite online

“It was a random seCONCERT quence of social media events, I would call it,” Megan McAllister said.

McAllister said Mason Van Valin posted an ad on Facebook and Elijah Edwards was the only one to respond, so they begin playing and writing music together. They wanted to expand from there, so they put an ad on Craigslist.

“The girl I was living with sent a submission video and I happened to be in the background,” McAllister said. “They spotted me and heard me singing. They tracked me down through my dad’s chain of hot dog restaurants in the Midwest. I grew up in the Midwest but was living in California when we met. It was really serendipitous, the whole thing. We started writing music and have been doing it ever since.”

The Fairground Saints will open for country music singer/songwriter Sara Evans at 8 p.m. Nov. 29 at the Palladium in Carmel.

responsive to what we do,” McAllister said.

“I think she’s so passionate about songwriting that I think her fans can see that and feel that. We’re passionate about it, too, and it’s a great pairing for that reason.”

Earlier this month, the group released its rendition of “Silent Night.”

“We are looking forward to performing that while on the Christmas tour,” McAllister said. “It’s going to be all new songs from us, mixed in with a little bit of that Christmas music, too.”

McAllister said this is the group’s first holiday tour.

SAVE THE DATE Formation in Zion National Park. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Religion in a national park Commentary by Don Knebel Zion National Park is the only place in the United States where government employees routinely lecture about God, angels, the Bible and the Book of Mormon.

TRAVEL Even the park’s name has religious connotations.

Through millions of years, water and wind created unique red and white sedimentary rock formations on the Colorado Plateau in southwestern Utah. In the 18th century, Mormon pioneers settled near the formations, which they thought reflected the majesty of God. As a result, they called the area the “Heavenly City of God” or “Little Zion.” They named one formation “Mount Moroni” after the angel they believe appeared to Joseph Smith, their founder, and named “Kolob Canyon” after the heavenly body LDS members associate with God. In 1916, a Methodist minister from Ogden, Utah, described a massive flattop formation as the “Great White Throne” of Revelation and the name stuck. A lower formation nearby then became known as “Angels Landing.”

Someone called a row of formations across

from Mount Moroni “The Three Patriarchs” in honor of the biblical Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Continuing the theme, other formations became known as the “Pulpit,” “Organ Pipes” and the “Altar of Sacrifice.” In the spirit of ecumenism, the “Temple of Sinawava” was named for the wolf god of the Paiutes, Native Americans who once lived in the area.

Ironically, the Virgin River that created the canyon running through the area does not have a religious significance. It was named for Thomas Virgin, the first European to see it.

In 1919, the collection of rock formations with the religious names was designated a national park and named Zion, a biblical term initially associated with the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Visited each year by 3 million people, Zion National Park is second to Salt Lake City’s Temple Square as Utah’s most popular destination.

DISPATCHES Pass the seltzer water — When your mouth feels like cotton and your throat like the Sahara Desert, getting your hands on the single most thirst-quenching drink becomes the only thing that matters in life. Although the obvious route might be to reach for a glass of cold water, a new study suggests a different approach. The most thirst-quenching drink, according to science, is a glass of cold seltzer. A study published in the Public Library of Science journal confirmed what you’ve probably known in your heart of

hearts all along: There’s nothing better than seltzer when you’re thirsty.
