Twelve years of euchre at Big Dave’s Deli

Commentary by Donna Monday

“They’ve got quite a following,” said deli owner Dave Chapman of the quartet playing euchre at a table in the back of Big Dave’s plain talk Deli.

The gang, twins Sam and Dan Fix, Gene Reynolds, and Lowell Lemon, play every Friday from 6:30 until 10:30 a.m. Actually, Gene arrives at six. “Somebody has to keep Doreen company,” he said of Doreen Supan, who opened up the place. The guys have breakfast before the first hand is dealt.

These faithful euchre enthusiasts have been doing this for 12 of the 15 years the deli has existed. `”We started at the front of the store, but in the winter we froze,” Sam said. Then Dave moved the table to the back here; and it’s really great.”

Asked who is the best player among them, Sam grins. “I’ve never lost a euchre game,” he said. Then he added, “My partner has.”

His partner, Gene, is used to the ribbing by now and just rolls his eyes. Actually, joking and teasing are as much a part of the morning as are card games. And Dave joins right in with that. “People don’t know I’ve been running an adult day care here,” he said. “It’s kinda like living through the movie ‘Grumpy Old Men’ every Friday.”

Customers love it. If for some reason the guys aren’t around on a given Friday, customers get concerned. They want to know, “’Where are the card guys? Why aren’t they here?’ “ Dave said.

(From left) Euchre players Sam Fix, Dan Fix, Gene Reynolds, and Lowell Lemon sit inside Dave’s Deli (Submitted photo)

With Dave planning to retire soon, the deli is up for sale. No buyer has yet stepped forward. The guys have already asked Dave if they can buy the table when he sells the place. Dave smiles. “We are in negotiations,” he said with a wink.

Meanwhile, the playing continues. On this particular Friday, at 10 a.m., the two teams are nearly tied. One team, the “GG’s,” (Good Guys) have won four, and the other team have won five. They keep score on a wooden scoreboard, with metal screws replacing the long-gone wooden pegs.

They usually play 18 games in a morning, all to

the tune of golden oldies in the background. The vibes are good, from the music to the diners to the card players.

Sam Fix sums it up. “There’s no bad day,” he said. “The only thing worse than losing is not being able to play.”

Amen.

Basketball program picks back up news@currentzionsville.com

The Traders Point Youth Basketball League has a 25-year tradition and was the first sports program to be offered through sports the church. Over time, the league has taken on different shapes and sizes, but the common denominator remains the same—an opportunity for kids to learn the game of basketball from experienced coaches, have fun, and learn life skills from a biblical background.

TPCC will begin the winter session of its Fusion Youth Basketball League, for boys from grades 5 through 12, starting with practices the week of Jan. 5. Games will be held on Saturdays, January through March, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the church.

“The basketball skills taught in the league are based on fundamentals,” said Scott White, TPCC sports director. “Our goal is to see every player improve in at least one area of the game during his or her tenure with the league. We have resourceful and experienced coaches. They coach with the goal of teaching kids the right way to play basketball, as opposed to focusing on running plays just to score points. There are many resources that we offer to coaches and kids who play in the league on ways they can develop their game outside of the church walls.”

To date, the league has coached more than 400 kids in grades 1 through 12 from Zionsville, Lebanon and Carmel.

The holidays are here.

They are primed and ready to invade Zionsville, and Carol of Homes – Holiday diversion Home Tour is leading the way.

The third annual musical home tour, presented by Zionsville Community High School’s Show Choirs and sponsored by Bright House Networks, is Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The public is invited to see how the halls are decked in the six featured decorated homes and enjoy the sounds of the holidays as the Choralaire and Royalaire students showcase their favorite holiday carols.

This year’s homes are at 1150 Williamsburg Lane, 120 South 6th St., 9422 Pleasant View Lane, 11740 Sycamore St., 10276 Oak Ridge Dr., and 6501 Sussex Dr., all ranging in different holiday styles.

“The homes run from village charmers to a country estate,” stated fundraising co-chair for Zionsville Community Schools Jenifer Luczak.

“You can get decorating ideas, see the lovely town and enjoy a day of twinkling lights and holidays sights and sounds to really get you in the holiday spirit.”

Erin Leonard is Luczak’s co-chair for the Carol of Homes, and this is their third year working together. They both have daughters in the Choralaires and had students in the Royalaires last year.

“I love that the Carol of Homes is a way for the

students to be involved in the fundraising efforts of the Zionsville Show Choirs all while showcasing their talents to the community,” Luczak stated. “It is a festive way to kick off the holiday season and be inspired by the decorations and homes or the students singing carols.”

According to the “choir moms” there are more than 120 students involved in show choirs and 90 percent will sing in the Carol of Homes in the roles of home hosts, singers, bakers, and ticket sellers.

Advance tickets are available at Akard’s Hardware, Butler’s Pantry and Kogan’s Antiques, or at the homes on the day of the event.

Tickets are $20 each and on sale now. The tour will take place rain or shine, and all ticket purchases are non-refundable.

om was ready to move closer to his grandchildren in Zionsville. He'd been trying to sell his charming, historic home of 20+ years near the Eagle Creek Reservoir off and on for two years with other brokers. After a disappointing fall-through, Tom pulled his listing from the other broker and put it in Jennifer's hands. Under her watch, multiple offers were received and a sale was struck, but the inspections proved challenging. Jennifer guided him through that, converted the sale to "as is" pricing, and closed the deal last summer, so that Tom was able to buy an easy-living ranch in Whitestown, just 10 minutes from his family. He has no more acreage to mow, no more maintenance and plenty of time to spend with his grandchildren!

Churches collect 10k diapers news@currentzionsville.com United Methodist Churches in many areas across the country operate in clusters, a simple strategy to accomplish philanthropy more together than one church could do individually. Boone County Methodist churches have had many successful ministries that prove the effectiveness of this concept.

Tim Ottinger, Chair of the Boone County United Methodist Cluster, said earlier this year a seed of an idea was planted by Jared Kendall, Pastor of Otterbein UMC in Lebanon. “[Kendall] recognized a need of helping mothers, many of them single parents, in love and support raising newborns in difficult situations, both financially and many cases without the support of any nearby family,” Ottinger said.

Kendall said it is a heartbreaking situation where many people feel they have nowhere to turn.

“It is hard enough in normal situations, let alone on your own with little or no resources,” Kendall said.

Further research illustrated many local charitable organizations that provide food and clothing fall short when it comes to items for newborns.

“From that idea we are starting our Mother and Child Program,” Ottinger said. “We had a diaper and formula drive in October and in that

More than 10,000 diapers and 28 containers of formula were donated to the local Methodist churches, an effort to help single moms of Boone County. (Submitted photo)

effort we collected 10,291 diapers and 28 containers of formula.”

Nancy Boone of Terhune UMC said the churches will be providing gift baskets upon notices of births and conducting baby showers which add to the personal support.

“We will help on a direct basis if contacted by someone in need or work with many of our partner organizations such as The Caring Center, Love INC, WIC, The Pregnancy Center and more,” Boone said “This initial collection is going to The Caring Center in Lebanon which has overwhelmed Theresa Hanners, director of the center, with the size and success of this initial effort.”

Ottinger said long term they hope to go beyond providing food and material goods. “[We want] to know their names, their situations and show there is love and support available and that people really care. That is church after all,” he said.

Since 1985 town planners have made efforts to create a bicycle and pedestrian path that connects neighborhoods, development schools, parks and businesses. Since then the Rail-Trail has made progress in connecting neighboring Carmel and Whitestown. But for one part of town the trail construction will be halted due to the residential construction.

At a Zionsville Parks Board meeting on Nov. 12, Buckingham Construction, responsible for the five new Quail Run apartment buildings, requested that construction of the trail be postponed while two of their buildings were finalized. Buckingham Construction’s Ryan Gallmeyer spoke on behalf of the company.

“The Rail-Trail goes directly between buildings four and five, and so we will have a lot of construction going on in that area,” Gallmeyer said. “From a safety standpoint I think it would be beneficial to [postpone]. We’ll be driving equipment and what-not in the area so it’d be beneficial to not have it [Rail-Trail] there.”

Members of the parks board were in agreement with the postponement.

“I think it makes sense because we all know that once you build [people] will start using it so if we don’t want them traipsing through buildings I think it makes good sense from a safety standpoint,” said president Steve Bullington.

Rachles returns to town

By Maria Leichty • news@currentzionsville.com A familiar name is returning to downtown Zionsville.

Local artist Susie Rachles has reart turned to Zionsville to sell her work this year after opening a studio in the Carmel Arts and Design District in 2013. Before that, Rachles Fine Art Gallery was in Zionsville for eight years. .

Down the road from her old studio sits the boutique, Delaney’s Shoppe, on the corner of Main and Pine Streets. Owner Mary Lawson started selling Rachles paintings at the beginning of the month.

“I moved back because it wasn’t a good fit [in Carmel],” Rachles said. “I am too much of a Zionsville girl.”

Rachles’ paintings overlook the Zionsville Eagles shirts, trendy outfits, jewelry, and holiday decorations inside Delaney’s.

She said her favorite things to paint are figurative pieces, landscapes and wildlife.

Her most recent painting, named “Majestic Light,” portrays a Montana elk inspired by her recent trip to Yellowstone National Park. This 30-by-30-inch canvas hangs above the fireplace near a Christmas tree. The price is $3,200.

Lawson said she likes having local artists’ work in her store.

“I was a little nervous about the price point but it’s going to work because she has a cus-

tomer base here,” she said.

“Majestic Light” along with six other paintings are now for sale at Delaney’s.

“I have the pictures to make the store look pretty,” Lawson said. “People love pretty and beautiful and that’s what type of environment I try to create in stores.”

On Nov. 20, there will be a “Meet the Artist” open house in Delaney’s for Rachles, who will be there from noon to 8 p.m.

Rachles’ studio is at her house a few minutes from Delaney’s.

Rachles said her favorite thing about painting is the use of color and the most important thing is the eyes.

“All the life and spirit is in the eyes and if you can’t capture that then don’t waste your paint,” she said.

Since 1967, a little place called “Anything Christmas” has been helping Zionsville residents to deck the halls and find the holidays sparkle for Christmas.

Anyone who would dare ask “What is ‘Anything Christmas’?” probably isn’t from around here.

Anything Christmas is Watt’s Christmas Trees and Sparkle Shop, which is now at a new location, 165 W. Sycamore St. in Zionsville.

The original Watt’s Christmas Tree Farm on Hunt Club Road was sold several years ago, but the Watt family is still in business.

Deborah Watt, now the owner, dug up her roots and moved to the old Calico Corners location in 2013 along with the Sparkle Shop and their famous train store. This past year the train shop was sold. It is now Zionsville Train Depot at 5082 W. 106th St. Most of the trees purchased throughout the years from the Hunt Club location were brought in from other states because Indiana isn’t conducive for the favorite types that make the best Christmas trees, according to Watt.

“We weren’t selling that many trees off the farm grown in Indiana anyway, most people want all the fur trees,” Watt said. “Indiana grows spruce, pine, scotch and white pine trees.”

She added most people want the fragrant fur trees, from North Carolina and Michigan.

“Hundreds and hundreds of Zionsville kids have worked for us, but the kindergartner field trips to the farm have always been my favorite,” Watt said, recalling the memories on the farm.

“They are so adorable and innocent and their questions about the trees are so sweet. I just always enjoyed that group so much.”

The memories will always be in her mind and heart, and she looks forward to making new ones in the new location.

“We are trying to continue the long-time tradition, in a new location, but even though we aren’t on the farm on Hunt Club Road anymore, the tradition of the family coming and picking out a tree is still here,” Watt said.

Watt’s Christmas Trees and Sparkle Shop will be open beginning Thanksgiving Day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

A grandfather, grandson duo work through life and loss together

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com In an unassuming barn just off a country road in Zionsville sit the remnants of a life well lived.

Car parts, license plates, cover story broken shards of pottery all line the walls and floors of Stephen Schanke’s big, wooden barn, but it is unlikely that he’d want it any other way.

“I’m an engineer at heart,” Stephen said. “I’m sure [people] don’t care about all of this, but to me, well, I love it all.”

Stephen, 70, is a long-time Zionsville resident, and it is in his barn where he and his 12-year-old grandson Chase Schanke have been working tirelessly for more than two years on a project non-engineer types would find impossible.

They restored a Ford Model A, by hand, and only had to purchase tires and a few extra nuts and bolts.

“Everything else I already had,” Stephen said.

“And if I didn’t have it, I built it.”

It is now one of only five working Model As in the state.

Manufactured in the 1930s, this Model A has played a big role in Schanke family history. Now, after being restored, it holds a big part of their

hearts.

Stephen was gifted the car at age 12, from his grandmother in Wisconsin. At 16, he started driving it to high school and by 18, the car broke down and was put into storage.

“It sat for 47 years,” Stephen said.

During those 47 years Stephen, a former IBM engineer, never had time to repair the car, much to his son Mike, and Chase’s father’s, dismay.

“He was always asking me ‘Dad can we go work on the Model A?’ but I never had time, I was always too busy,” Stephen said. “Life just caught up with me. I regret that now.”

Years passed, Mike grew up, and started his own family. Then, in 2010 tragedy struck when Mike was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

This was right around the time Chase was interested in having his grandpa pull the Model A out of the garage.

“By 2011 and the time Mike passed away, I wasn’t going to let life get in the way again,” Stephen said. “I think I really did have time with [Chase’s] dad but life got in the way. With Chase, every second he wasn’t in school we were working on this.”

Chase, who lives in Brownsburg with his mom and attends Brownsburg Middle School, was

eager to work on the car with his grandpa.

“We took the whole car apart,” Stephen said.

When Mike was nine years old, he had dropped a board on the gas tank of the Model A. During the repair process with Chase, Stephen let Chase fix the tank his dad had broken.

“I’m a car guy,” said Chase, who was the first one to drive the Model A once it was finally capable of being turned on. “We didn’t even have seats in it yet, so we sat on buckets, but then grandpa fell out the side door because I didn’t know how to drive.”

“He let the old man fall out,” Stephen said, laughingly. “But it is kind of difficult to drive, because you’ve got to do what they call a double-clutch.”

Now, the Model A can be revved up to 60 miles-per-hour and it’s fresh coat of dark navy blue paint shines in the midst of the Schanke barnyard.

“I have a lot of regrets in life,” Stephen said. “I regret not doing this with Mike. But Chase and I did this together, which is the best part of this whole story.”

“We are going to rebuild a Model T next,” said Chase Schanke, 12.

Grandfather Stephen Schanke purchased a storage unit with the remnants of a Model T. The pair hopes to start putting it together this year.

The next project for the Schankes is to build a Model T.

About the Ford Model A • Ford Model As were built from 1927 to 1931 • They were the second successful vehicle for Ford Motor Company • They helped establish Henry Ford’s reputation as an automotive entrepreneur

Curves ahead

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Hear us now, believe us later

Random thoughts while anticipating the full-fledged kickoff of the holiday season, even though it has been under celebration in certain mass retailers since, oh, about Aug. 17: • We were taken to task last week for our column of two weeks ago about Hillary Rodham Clinton. Once more, we have been accused of attacking only the Democratic Party.

We’re told we never take umbrage with what the Republicans do – and nothing could be more distant from the truth. You’re staring at the words of two fiercely independent voters and we will repeat once more, with the same conviction, this: Our nation deserves to have a viable third party. The two existing parties have shown often enough they can screw up a two-car funeral. Questions?

• One of us was flying back to Indianapolis from points west late last week, when the plane was forced to return to the gate because a passenger began experiencing a nosebleed. No one wanted to say it, but many were thinking, Is this Ebola? An ambulance met the plane at the gate, the passenger was checked, treated, cleared and permitted to re-board the aircraft. While the delay was somewhat troubling, coming at the end of a long day, the abundance of caution deployed by the carrier and the medical personnel not only was prudent, but it also was fairly comforting. Such are the times in which we’re living these days.

• And about the coming holidays, we’re fairly energized around here for the delivery of our Gifts 2014 special section, which will be included in the Nov. 25 edition of Current. This year, we’re focusing on “Hoosier Holidays,” which means gift items will have had to be designed, manufactured or otherwise created in Indiana.

Overall, we hope you’ll find the information a meaningful and useful way to navigate the season. And, no, we’re not going to tell you to avoid holiday debt by cutting up your credit cards or sticking to a budget; we’ll leave that to other media sources.

Agri-culture

Commentary by Terry Anker

At a recent dinner, I was introduced to the speakers’ podium with a reference to my rural roots. “Believe it or not,” it was declared with a grin, “Terry grew up farming.”

Raised in unincorporated Indiana, somewhere between Delphi in Carroll County and Monticello in White County, my earliest memories are of chasing my granddad around to “help” with chores. Ultimately, our family owned a fertilizer and seed distribution company, which meant long days (and often nights) of driving nurse trucks and delivering anhydrous ammonia to waiting tractors.

Yet, Mom and Dad always focused on keeping me and my sister in the classroom. It wasn’t until years later that I began to realize how little they’d expected of me – and how much of the burden that they’d carried, especially in the spring and fall. Dad would arrive home well after dinner. Mom would have me fed and finishing my homework. In the hardest times, we’d meet Dad for supper in the field on a pickup truck’s

tailgate. Mom worked a full-time job in town and still managed to keep everything running.

Winters were slower. School activities and the occasional fishing or hunting trip filled the calendar. This all seemed very natural to me. It was our culture. Our agri-culture. Everybody worked.

Everybody worked hard. Sure, we had fun; but when the skies were dry and the season was in, we stayed in the fields – it might rain tomorrow.

The farms once known to populate most of our fair state have faded into our collective memory. Large, capital-intensive operations continue to consolidate production. We may be better off for it. But what of our culture? Even as urbanization replaces traditional America, what can we expect? For me, I value our agri-culture and hope that it continues to have a place in the new order.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

– Thomas Sowell

You know you’re in a bad way when you find yourself huddled in the garage, tears and mascara streaming down your face, shoving empty Capri Suns, a used coffee filter and two wet paper towels back into a ripped-open trash bag and cussing the living daylights out of your stupid Labrador. Flashback to a couple of Sundays ago, and that was me. Obviously not the pillar of graceful beauty I’d been going for. How did I get there? Read on, my friends.

You may recall that my life has been a bit stressful of late. Work, parenting, hormones . . . an evil trifecta hell-bent on sending me into a mild middle-age funk. I thought I’d managed the worst of it, but the universe had a few more curveballs to throw in my direction, starting with a sudden week-long business trip for my husband Doo that began the same day as my first-ever speech team coaching gig. Ten hours at a local high school on a Saturday plus my unnerving experience driving a mini-bus to and from said high school already had me a bit grumpy when I arrived home that evening to begin my term as a single mom. But when I saw the state of the house, I really lost it. I screamed at kids and threw dishes and then stormed outside to begin disassembling our blown-over, left-to-die Halloween decorations just so I could have a moment alone.

Luckily for all involved, I went to bed soon thereafter before I could do any real damage.

The next morning, I felt only slightly better, as nightmares of a zombie apocalypse robbed me of blissful sleep. Then another curveball.

My youngest learned that her good friend’s father had passed away the day before. She held it together for a while, but on the way to Sunday school, finally broke down. Her comment, “I can’t imagine not having my daddy,” broke my heart.

As guilt from the previous night’s mommy rampage settled in, so did the awareness of how petty my issues have been. I was a horrible person for complaining about a dirty kitchen and bratty children and an absentee spouse (even though he was probably enjoying a nice steak dinner before heading off to his clean, quiet hotel room).

So when I pulled back into the garage and saw trash strewn across the floor, well, there you have it. The build-up of fatigue, bitterness and sadness over the last day and a half erupted into a geyser of sobs and F-bombs.

Not my finest moment.

I’m pleased to report, however, that I’m mostly back to normal, undoubtedly just in time for another curveball. I’ll keep you posted!

Peace out.

Remembering a motor scooter Commentary by Ward Degler

I have long been amazed by the stuff that was created for war use and then stuck around to help boost the postwar plain talk economy. The Jeep was a biggie. It was created specifically for World War II. The specs were so unforgiving, the manufacturer even thinned the paint to meet the weight limitation.

After the war, Willys and later Chrysler parlayed the little four-wheeler into an American icon. Radar was another wartime invention, and so were early computers.

One machine that didn’t fare so well was the Cushman Airborne, a bare bones motor scooter the Army ordered in 1944. The plan was to parachute the scooters in with airborne troops during the waning days of the war in Germany as an accelerated means of moving the soldiers forward once they were on the ground.

The scooters were well designed with fat tires that could absorb the bumps of rough terrain, a rugged gearbox that would enable the machine to climb steep hills, and a tough little Husky engine that reportedly got 75 miles per gallon.

The problem with the scooter was its weight.

At 255 pounds, the thing parachuted to the ground at near rocket speed, which caused it to break in half. Field commanders told the top brass an easy fix would be to strap it to a larger parachute.

The Pentagon thought the issue should be solved by Cushman, however, and sent the problem back to them. Not being experts in what happens when large objects are dropped out of airplanes, the scooter folks simply added a shock-absorbing spring system that wrapped around the scooter. Unfortunately, it also added another 50 pounds to the machine, which caused it to pretty much disintegrate on impact.

After intensive experimenting and head scratching, the Army ultimately scrapped the project after buying less than 5,000 of the scooters. Cushman, seeing no requirement for dropping them out of airplanes in peacetime, however, continued building the scrappy little machines, and sold thousands of them after the war under the pretentious title of, “War Winners.”

Whatever failure went into the Cushman wartime record for the Airborne scooter, the company more than made up for it by manufacturing more than 8.5 million bomb fuses during the war.

Cushman continued to build scooters until the 1970s when the company was sold. Some, configured as golf carts, meter maid police vehicles and Postal Service mail carriers are still around, still running strong.

Bennett brings energy and ‘heart’ to Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

At 88, Tony Bennett recently became the oldest performer to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with his album with Lady Gaga. Bennett broke his previous age record of 85, set when concert “Duets II” made No. 1 in 2011.

“I don’t view it as reinventing myself as I am singing the songs that I have made the cornerstone of my recording career, but what thrills me about working with these younger artists is it exposes their audience to the Great American Songbook so that this music continues to be explored and discovered,” Bennett said. “Particularly with my new album with Lady Gaga — as she is a fantastic jazz singer — so I know that all her millions of fans will now listen to how great she sounds and start appreciating jazz music and popular standards.”

Bennett will perform at the Palladium in Carmel at 8 p.m. on Nov. 21 with his daughter Antonia.

Bennett answered some questions from Current about his legendary career.

Thirty years ago, did you think you would still be doing live shows today and how have you kept so active?

Performing in front of a live audience has

always been the biggest thrill for me because it’s spontaneous and it’s the most direct communication you can have as a musical performer. So I think the fact that I have always been touring throughout my career has been a key part to my longevity. It’s a bit easier now with one show a night than when I started out at the Paramount Theatre and we did seven shows a day, but I still love it. I like to make people happy and I hope when they leave the theater they have forgotten some of their own problems and have just enjoyed themselves.

You’ve performed with the greatest of the greats, which one stands out the most for you?

That is very tough as I toured for two years with Lena Horne, but I have to say singing and knowing Judy Garland has been a treasured part of my career. She was a complete original and an authentic artist of the highest measure and a dear friend.

You’ve said you never sing “I Left my Heart in San Francisco” the same way. How hard is to keep challenging yourself that way?

As an entertainer, it is my responsibility to ensure that the audience enjoys themselves, so I want to perform the songs that I know the

audience has come to hear me sing so it’s not hard at all. I tour with a magnificent jazz quartet and I have always gravitated to performing with jazz artists because they are master musicians which enables them to be spontaneous. We can decide to change the tempo of a song 10 seconds before we perform it on stage, depending on the pacing of the show and if we need to do an up-tempo or move to a ballad. So every show is different from one night to another because every audience is different and they are as much a part of the performance as we are.

Which Great American Songbook performer do you most admire and why?

I really admire them all because they are keeping the finest popular music ever written alive by choosing to perform and record these songs.

There was a golden age of songwriting in America in the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s when you had (George) Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, just a once-in-a-lifetime moment when these master craftsmen were writing songs. And I believe these songs will ultimately become America’s classical music.

The adventures of being a guest in the presidential box Commentary by Amy Pauszek

On Nov. 7 I was invited to be the Social Seat Guest in The Presidential Box at the beautiful Carmel Palladium. Who knew symphony it would turn out to be the chance of a lifetime to see The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra AND Violin virtuoso Nadja Salerno-Sonnenburg under the direction of Conductor Pavor Kogan? The night was amazing, I sat mesmerized as the orchestra and special guests captured the audience’s heart and soul with the sounds of Tchaikovsky and Bruch.

My task was simple, to tweet about the live concert. However, the magical sounds and visuals of plucking violin strings, brass horns and the clash of the symbols entranced me. I realized that the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra is one of the five oldest concert orchestras in Russia and it was playing live right there in Carmel.

Pavor Kogan stood tall and animated as he commanded the concert and Nadja was purely electrifying as she played flawlessly. Her energy was contagious. The acoustics were mind blowing and at times — so intense that you could of heard a pin drop during the short dramatic pauses. In the end, my Social Seat Guest Mission became easier as the night went on and my tweets flowed freely to the riveting music that

There were three standing ovations as new and old fans cheered of excitement and left the venue smiling. The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra continues to tour around the nation and I would highly recommend if given the opportunity, not to miss this live concert.

A perfect Thanksgiving appetizer

Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to prepare dishes that you normally wouldn’t prepare.

Surprise your guests with this fantastico appetizer, a Peruvian tapenade. Tapenade is a French-born spread that consists of pureed olive. It is generally savored on slices of toasted baguettes or crackers and is a terrific spread for sandwiches. This divine and easy recipe has a Latin twist! It has walnuts, red bell pepper and raisins to give it a bit of sweetness. I feel flattered that I am often asked for this recipe wherever I bring it, so here it is. Enjoy it with friends and family as you gather for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Note: • This tapenade is wonderful when combined with goat cheese.

• It also makes great festive homemade gifts that everyone will enjoy receiving!

PERUVIAN TAPENADE Prep: 15 minutes / Makes about 1 3/4 cups tapenade Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups pitted Kalamata olives, 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained, 2 anchovy fillets, 1 garlic, roasted, 1/4 cup good quality olive oil, 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tea-

Breakfast burritos are great for morning games. (Submitted photo)

Morning Tailgates – Don’t you love them?

Tailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley We’re joking of course. To bow down to the TV gods, many college and pro football programs start at noon or one depending on the time zone.

So the question is, “What do I serve at a morning tailgate?” The answer is easy.

Serve the same breakfast meal that you would serve to friends when you are entertaining for breakfast at home. We serve eggs to order, sausage, English muffins, coffee and Bloody Marys. Sometimes we serve a Mimosa in warm weather. So you ask us, “How does one prepare all that food, just like they do in their kitchen?”

It’s simple if you use the right equipment.

We use a portable range that has an oven and two burners and a coffee maker, both powered by those small propane canisters. We toast muffins, flour tortillas, or bake biscuits in the oven and prepare the sausage and eggs in frying pans on the burners. Look at (photo one) for this propane tailgate appliance. For coffee brewing we use a tailgate propane coffee maker (photo two).

We use these items regularly and they have lasted for years. They are made by Coleman.

Breakfast Burrito Ingredients • 1 package (16 ounces) Johnsonville® Fresh Chorizo Ground Sausage • 8 eggs, beaten (egg beaters can be added/substituted to the mixture to reduce cholesterol) • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese • 4 whole wheat tortillas (8 inches), warmed • Salsa • Sour Cream Preparation: In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until meat is no longer pink; drain. Pour eggs into the skillet and cook them as you would for scrambled eggs at home.

Sprinkle with cheese. Spoon filling evenly onto tortillas (heated over your burner), roll as desired.

Serve with salsa and sour cream.

In loving memory of their mom, Shannon O’Malia-Hall and their cousin, Zachary Decker.

I recently realized that, beside the possibility of snow, I love the month of November! My youngest daughter has a birthday fitness which makes it extra special, but it is also the month of what I call “Turkey Day.” I love getting together with family or friends, I love pitching in and cooking the Thanksgiving feast, I love watching football, love playing games with my kids and just enjoying a day off.

What are your plans for turkey day? Is your health part of the game plan? A few years back, some of my family members started participating in the Drumstick Dash, a walk/run in the Broad Ripple area that supports Wheeler Mission Ministries. It has been a great way to start the day, get some activity before our family feast and help others out in the process.

If you want something closer to home in Fishers, maybe the YMCA Wishbone 5k, which supports the YMCA Annual Campaign, is a good fit for your family. Close to Carmel, try The Bolt for the Heart 5K Run which helps support HeartReach Carmel in providing lifesaving automated external defibrillators in central Indiana.

If signing up for a walk/run isn’t your cup of tea, there are lots of other ways to benefit your

health on a day that is typically thought of as “eat until you can’t eat anymore.” By the way, I don’t recommend this. Enjoy what you are eating, just don’t go overboard, it never feels good.

Initiate a family walk or bike ride around the neighborhood. Taking a walk after your Thanksgiving feast is a great way to spend time with family before you have dessert.

Even if the weather is a bit chilly, you can break out the corn hole set or Frisbee for some backyard fun. Play touch football while the turkey is cooking. Hide mini-pumpkins/gourds and have the kids hunt for them. Maybe fitness for the brain is more your family’s speed, so have a game tournament, cards, checkers, maybe even chess.

What about your heart and soul health? Sign up to work at a soup kitchen for a couple hours. Maybe ask all your family and friends coming to dinner to bring items to donate to a food pantry or shelter.

On this “Turkey Day,” be thankful and do something that benefits your health, your family’s health and maybe even others.

Huntington turns 10

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

November marks the 10th anniversary of Huntington Learning Centers in Carmel. It has been a marriage that has served anniversary the center and area students well.

Lindsay Brabb, the center’s director, said a recent success story was a Pendleton Heights High School student, who attends Huntington, recently register a perfect score of 36 on her ACT. Kurt Spitler, owner and executive director, said 95 percent of their business comes from Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield.

“But we have students from all over,” Spitler said. “We had a college professor bring his son up from Bloomington twice a week last year. He probably passed 15 different learning centers to get here but he preferred our program.”

Brabb said the center provides ACT, SAT prep and prep for private high schools entrance exams such as Park Tudor or University.

“Half our prep is getting kids ready for the ACT or SAT and the other half is what we call our learning center is to increase students’ skill sets,” Spitler said. “One of the big misnomers is if your kid comes to Huntington he is strug-

gling. Actually 25 percent of our kids might be one grade level and their parents want them to be two grade levels ahead. It’s truly enrichment for a lot of our students. Or a lot of time we will have students who have straight As in everything except math. So they come here for math only program.”

Spitler purchased the Huntington Learning Center franchise from the original owner three years ago. Brabb has been with the center for nine years. The center is at 2440 E. 146th St., in Carmel. It previously had been located in Greyhound Pass shopping center before moving two years ago.

So what’s the deal with ‘so?’

Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Hello. I’ve recently started receiving and love your columns. Now I have an issue I’d like for you to grammar guy address. It seems like so many people are starting a sentence with the word ‘so,’ even when it appears to be incorrect (not to mention extremely annoying). Would you please check the rules and let people know what they are?

I know it’s the latest trend, but the sooner it runs its course, the better. Thanks and keep up the good work. We need more people like you.”

– Marlena Linne Answer: Is that what the kids are doing these days? I’ve had my head buried in Céline for the last few weeks, though no apologies there.

Maybe I’m not as cutting edge as I used to be.

At the heart of the matter here is whether it’s acceptable to begin a sentence with a conjunction – even a coordinating conjunction like “and,” “but” or “so.” And, as we’ve discussed previously, it is.

Of course, as the Oxford Dictionaries say in their defense of leading with conjunctions, “it’s best not to overdo it.” Fortunately we only have to hop over to Cambridge (Dictionaries) for a concise list of just when it’s acceptable to start a sentence with “so.” For brevity’s sake I won’t include all of them, but here are a few: • To connect a sentence with something that

has been said or happened previously. (“So as I’ve written before…”)

• To refer to a discovery that you have just made. (“So you really can swim right after lunch!”)

• To make certain you or someone else understand something correctly. (“So a conjunction connects two ideas, right?”)

• To introduce a subject of conversation that is of present interest, especially when asking a question. (“So, what are the Colts’ odds of winning the Super Bowl this year?”)

• To belittle a point under discussion (“So what?”)

So, what’s the point, Mr. Grammar Guy? Beginning a sentence with any conjunction, “so” or otherwise, should be done sparingly and to serve a particular purpose like adding emphasis, controlling the pacing of a sentence and, most importantly – perhaps necessarily, even – establishing a connection to a previous idea or statement. After all, a conjunction must still serve its proper function. (If you’re still not clear what that is, I believe there may be an educational tune floating around there somewhere to help you out. And it’s catchy, to boot!)

Western gate of Hippos, near Ein Gev. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Hippos: The City on a Hill

Commentary by Don Knebel

Since 1630, when Puritan leader John Winthrop addressed his followers onboard the ship Arbella, politicians have likened the Ameritravel can experience to the shining “city on a hill” described by Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount. They might have opted for a different metaphor if they had known that Jesus was referring to the glistening buildings of a thoroughly pagan city.

Jesus delivered his famous sermon from the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, near his base in Capernaum. At the time, Hippos was a bustling city atop a flat hill rising more than 1,000 feet above the water on the eastern shore of the lake, near today’s Kibbutz Ein Gev. In making his points, Jesus referred to salt and lamps, items his followers encountered every day. Most scholars believe Jesus had Hippos in mind when he told his listeners that “a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden” because it was the only hilltop city they had seen.

Hippos was founded by the Greeks in about 200 B.C., its name reflecting the hill’s claimed resemblance to a horse. After a period under control of the Jewish Hasmoneans, in 63 B.C. the city

came under the rule of the Romans, who made it one of the 10 semi-autonomous Greco-Roman cities of the Decapolis. Recent excavations have revealed that life in first-century Hippos was much different from that in the Jewish fishing villages where Jesus taught. Archaeologists have uncovered a column-lined Roman main street running the 500-meter length of the hilltop, flanked by theaters, nude bath houses, temples to Zeus and Aphrodite, and a fountain dedicated to sensuous water nymphs, all gleaming in the afternoon sun when Jesus and his followers gazed across the lake.

A narrow path leads to the ruins of Hippos, with signs warning: “Mines on both sides of the trail; walk only on the marked path.” At the top of the hill are remains of several Byzantine-era churches, destroyed by an earthquake in 749 A.D. Hundreds of years after the Sermon on the Mount, Christian lights finally shone from the famous city on a hill.

Protect your plants from the cold

By Mark Robinson • robinson@youarecurrent.com Everyone who was here remembers the harsh, cold and snowy winter that Central Indiana endured a year ago, outdoors which wreaked havoc on the landscaping of some area residents. The Farmers’ Almanac is predicting another extremely cold winter this time around, so now is the time to start preparing winter protection of those prized plants, flowers and shrubs that will be facing the elements.

Dana Altum is a local expert on the subject.

She operates Altum Horticulture and Landscape, 11335 N. Michigan Rd., Zionsville, a family-owned garden and landscaping company since 1958.

Altum has several simple recommendations to prep those outdoor treasures for the cold months ahead.

“If people do a little this fall, it will make it a whole lot easier on the plants and them next spring,” Altum emphasized. Some tips include: • Cleaning plant beds of leaf and other debris.

“They can harbor insects and disease,” Altum said.

• Mulching beds to a three-inch layer on the ground. Altum said true mulch is better than mulching and re-using the debris cleaned from the beds. “Mulch acts as a winter blanket for plants. In particular, you should place it around the roots of any new plants.”

Polar Vortex, two of my least favorite words Commentary by Randy Sorrell Amazingly, the 2013-14 prolonged winter did not cause the horrific plant loss and patio issues we anticipated. outdoors But it did show itself in other delightful ways. A few of our ceramic pots disintegrated and my water spigot exploded. This year, I am determined to implement the “winter to-do” list that follows, starting with disconnecting the garden hose from the spigot and storing ceramic pots in the garage.

HIGH Start high and complete a visual inspection searching for curled or missing roof shingles and gutters that are hanging, disconnected or overflowing with leaves that result in rain spilling over the edges. All are bad. Inspect for properly sealed windows, secured screens and evidence of critter damage to wood surfaces.

LOW Ground level check list: 1. Disconnect the garden hose from the spigot and turn off inside if available.

2. Breakable pots inside (synthetics can remain outside).

3. Store patio furniture and cushions inside or carefully cover with a tarp (looks tacky, but works) or with ap-

propriate covers. It has caused our five-year-old patio furniture to still look predominantly new.

4. Store outdoor rugs to prolong their life.

5. Inspect landscape lighting fixtures and bulbs. Change as necessary along with adjusting the timer. Ours remain on all night for safety and ambiance.

6. Install weather strip at exterior doors and garage door as necessary.

7. Clean plant beds are happy beds, same with the lawn. Do a final leaf and debris removal to avoid future fungus issues.

8. Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, replace furnace filters after a professional furnace inspection.

9. Stock up on ice melt, a new snow shovel and window scrapers.

10. Auto emergency kit in place?

Escape the Polar Vortex-induced doldrums by practicing gratitude, joy, hope, faith and family.
