Robison said the policy can also protect students from other students who may record them speaking or answering a question in class and post it online to ridicule them. He hopes it will serve as a deterrent for bullying.

Northfields subdivision on hold Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Plan Commission met Nov. 21 to discuss a proposed subdivision, an expanded McDonald’s drive-thru and more.

What happened: The commission unanimously approved the addition of a second drive-thru order point at McDonald’s, 50 Brendon Way. What it means: The side-by-side drive-thru will allow two customers to place orders at the same time and reduce the stacking of waiting cars around the building. The project also includes the addition of five feet of pavement at the west end of the parking lot and reconfiguration of the drive-thru and parking areas.

What happened: The commission granted a two-month continuance for the 200 West development on Sycamore Street.

What it means: Tim Ochs, an attorney representing the developer, said a parcel included in the original application is no longer part of the project. He said developers did not have time to compile an updated plan before the meeting, but he expects it will be done soon.

What’s next: The commission is expected to address the 200 West development at its Jan. 17, 2017, meeting.

Theater companies unite

By Terri Horvath • news@currentzionsville.com Community theater is alive and well in and around Zionsville. At one time, two different theater companies back in the day performed in the area. The Off-Main Street Players came first in 1966, with the Zionsville Theater following in 1971.

The first production of the Off-Main Street Players was held in a barn on W. 116th Street, now part of Raintree Place. “Bell, Book and Candle” premiered Sept. 9, 1966. A success on Broadway, the play focuses on a Greenwich witch who casts a love spell on an unsuspecting stranger. He eventually finds out about her duplicity and seeks a cure, only to discover that he had fallen in love naturally and the two happily unite.

About five years later, another troupe formed to present the comedy drama “Luv” in May 1971 in the old Town Hall. Another Broadway hit, the play’s two main characters are former college roommates, Milt and Harry.

When they reunited a few years later, each discovers that the other is equally miserable in life. Milt sees in Harry an answer to his primary problem – his wife, Ellen, who he tries to foist on his old pal so he can run off with

The OffMain Street Players first production was in 1966.

his mistress.

Both Off-Main Street Players and Zionsville Theater had varying success and experienced periods of inactivity. By 2005, the two names united to return community theater to Zionsville. The Off-Main Street Players brought its offering to the Zionsville Theater in Town Hall.

The new Off-Main Street Players’ first production, Neil Simon’s “Plaza Suite,” premiered Sept. 9, 2005, which was 39 years exactly after the original group’s first offering.

Program highlights St. Nicholas

By Renee Larr • news@currentzionsville.com Christ Lutheran Church in Zionsville will teach children the real story of the most famous fourth century Greek bishop at Breakfast with St. Nicholas, set for holidays 9:30 to 11 a.m. Dec. 3.

“It is an observance of St. Nicholas Day on Dec. 6. He is the basis of what we now celebrate as Santa Clause,” said Debi Prather, director of music and faith formation at the church. “We’re offering a full breakfast and activities for kids. St. Nicholas will be there telling stories to kids. There will be a craft station and cookies for them to decorate and take them home. The kids will make a felt hand-puppet and a mobile of St. Nicholas. They can do both or either.”

The event is geared toward children in preschool to second grade. Guests will be asked to remove their shoes when they arrive so that St. Nicholas can fill them with treats.

Enjoying ‘Fiddler,’ seventh-grade style

Commentary by Ward Degler

Putting on a school play is nothing new.

And it normally isn’t a super-big deal, either.

Unless it’s a bunch of seventh graders putting on “Fiddler on the Roof.” plain talk To set the scene, there’s an aging litany of two- and three-act plays high school drama clubs usually draw from. Most call for a cast of no more than a dozen, entail two to three set changes and usually work through two scenes per act.

Most have dialogue. Only a few have songs.

“Fiddler,” on the other hand, has no less than 28 scenes and 15 set changes. It also boasts a cast of 36, has at least 30 songs and literally dozens of prop changes.

And this is what my great-granddaughter’s seventh grade class at Christ the King School did last week. The performance was stunning.

It was carried off without a flaw or mishap (unheard of in most high school thespian efforts) and managed to accomplish all of this with only rudimentary stagecraft trappings.

The theater was the school gymnasium.

The stage was a raised platform at one end.

Lighting was two pin spots that had to move with the action. Microphones were the upright on stands variety, which meant actors had to skillfully sidle up to one of them whenever they had lines to speak.

And, oh yeah, those numerous set changes.

Each set was a full-size flat with a weighted

base. Four students artfully removed the existing flat from the stage and then hauled a new one aboard for each change of scene.

And they did it in total darkness.

Many years ago I saw “Fiddler” on Broadway. The director announced before the opening curtain that a new innovation had been developed for the play as a way to make it through the large number of scene changes.

The innovation was a rotating carousel in the middle of the stage. While one scene was going on in front, stage hands were busy putting together the next scene on the back side.

At the end of each scene they walked the carousel around to open the next scene. Our seventh graders had no carousel.

Sure, the audience had to cock its collective ear to hear some of the dialogue, and the pin spot lighting tended to be overly bright.

But the story — a sad one at that — rang true, and the songs reached our hearts. And the final applause, though heartfelt, conveyed only a token of the appreciation we actually felt. And as we walked out of the school I heard a few people quietly humming the melody to “Tradition!”

Zionsville man enjoys work, battling the elements in Antarctica

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Bruce Tischbein loves a good adventure and a challenge.

He got both during a 15-month stay in Antarctica.

“I was in charge of the snow removal. You get 10- to 15-foot drifts down there,” Tischbein said. “I cover story had to keep access for people to walk.

The scientists had to get out to their buildings. It never really snows there, it blows in. So you are constantly getting drifts. That D6 Dozer was all you could do to push some of them. I never moved that amount of snow before. That was pretty intense. It would take a couple of days.”

The coldest it got was 108 degrees below zero.

“I went out walking in it because I could,” Tischbein said.

Tischbein lived in Zionsville for several months before heading out on his trip. Since returning to the U.S. in November, he’s been staying with his brother, Doug, also a Zionsville resident. Doug wasn’t surprised when his older brother took the assignment.

“Bruce said going to the South Pole fits perfectly with his adventurous side,” Doug said. “I think my first thought was here we go again.

Bruce has worked for resorts in northern Minnesota and Alaska for many years in his younger years. He has followed his adventures to many locations that have been very cold for a guy who wants to retire close to a beach.”

On this adventure, Tischbein first served as heavy equipment operator at McMurdo Station, the U.S. research center in Antarctica.

“I spent a lot of time on projects for the science field,” Tischbein said.

Then he spent nine months at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, situated in Antarctica.

ning cross country pipeline.

He is going back at the end of January to the McMurdo Station for nine months.

“I want to see what that is like in the winter time,” Tischbein said.

Naming the best part of his trip is easy: the night sky. It is completely dark for six months at the South Pole. “(I loved) seeing the beautiful galaxies and the auroras,” he said. “The galaxies and stars are phenomenal.”

The sun set in February and came up in September. The sun is then up 24 hours through January.

Tischbein and the other South Pole workers celebrated with a sunrise party.

• Age: 60 • Personal: Children are Ben, Nora and Ashley. Ben and Ashley live in Wisconsin and Nora lives in Oklahoma. Mother Jane, 90, lives in Minnesota. Served in the U.S. Navy Seabees for seven years, starting his work with heavy equipment. He then began working in Minnesota, doing similar work. He became the 1,488th person to winter at the South Pole. He was given a medal, ribbon and pin to commemorate it.

• Dealing with the dark: “We had classes about taking the right vitamins to supplement the sun.

They gave us little sun lights, about the size of a laptop computer screen. You put them in your room and you’re supposed to look and let that sunlight get into your eyeballs for about 30 minutes every morning.”

• Best book he read during stay: “I read a book my mom gave me, ‘Christmas with Tucker.’ Just a simple book about a dog, but I liked it.”

• Adjustment returning home: “It took me a little time to get used to being around (more) people, so I stayed at my brother’s house for awhile.”

• Toughest part: In June, two people got seriously ill and needed to leave. “We had to build a ski-way (make-shift runway) in 85 below in pitch dark for the Medevac to land,” Tischbein said. “We put 55-gallon drums with a mixture of gas and diesel fuel in it that were cut in half and placed every 40 feet to light the ski-way because we had no electric lights.”

“I liked the darkness so you could see the skies, but it got kind of old and you wanted to see some sunlight,” he said.

“Then when the sun comes up, everyone was getting pretty happy. It changes your mood.”

There was no mail, TV or radio.

“We had the Internet when the satellite would go by for two or three hours per day, and that was it,” Tischbein said.

Tischbein kept busy with carpentry projects and socializing.

“In the evening, they had travelogues where people would share experiences where they traveled,” he said.

“They had a math class. They had a Japanese class.”

Tischbein passed on learning a new language.

“I read, but not a whole lot,” Tischbein said. “I tried to mingle. There were only 45 people, so we got to know everybody pretty good.”

There were eight females, most with their significant others.

There were movie nights once a week as well. They were well-fed as there were three chefs and a food supply for at least two years.

“It never gets above 50 below, so everything stays pretty good frozen,” he said. “We had steak, lobster, shrimp, all that.”

Tischbein, who is single, has three children and six grandchildren.

“I missed them, but they were all behind me, telling me to go for it,” he said.

The perfect bedroom

FR O M T HE BA C KSH 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 HE 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.

At 200: Forget me not Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Indiana is about to complete the celebration of her 200th birthday. Many stellar names are associated with our great state: humor Abraham Lincoln, Ernie Pyle, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Cole Porter, James Dean, Benjamin Harrison, John Mellencamp and Red Skelton, to name a few … instead of naming a few hundred. There are several forgotten Hoosiers who didn’t make it into the history books but who have now made it into my column. They deserve better, of course, but here is one of my favorites. More to come.

Eiffel Plasterer was a total bubble brain.

The Huntington County resident had a passion for ordinary and not-so-ordinary soap bubbles.

He fascinated children and adults with his demonstrations for almost a half century.

Plasterer was a man of both religion and science, a contradictory combination in the 1920s when he attended DePauw University. There he became especially intrigued with bubbles and began working on the perfect solution (a concoction of soap ingredients, water and glycerin) as part of a lifelong attempt to produce an almost unbreakable bubble.

Plasterer blew bubbles at schools, church meetings, conventions, banquets and on

street corners. He wrote scientific articles and lectured in schools and universities, all the time blowing his own exquisite bubbles.

Bubbles within bubbles, bubbles on top of bubbles, bubbles, bubbles, bubbles.

And he blew those bubbles on more TV shows than you could shake a wand at: “Real People,” “Letterman,” “Tom Snyder” and “Dick Cavett.” Plasterer also holds the record for bubble longevity, capturing a bubble inside a mason jar to protect it from air currents and keeping it intact for one day short of a year.

Longer than most gerbils live.

Plasterer believed you never outgrow the joy you get by blowing bubbles, and he preached that philosophy up until he was almost 90. Eiffel Lane, named after the famous bubbleologist, now runs through Hiers Park in Huntington. Plasterer’s words still ring loud and clear: “Our hopes and dreams are the bubbles of life we are blowing. They do not all have to break.”

Milliner honored for service work

By Renee Larr• news@currentincarmel.com Staffing and search agency Milliner & Associates recently received an honorable mention Care award from the American Staffing Association for its work achievement with Jobs for America’s graduates.

Their corporate social responsibility initiative seeks to assist at-risk juniors and seniors at Decatur Central High School.

“Our initiative is called Mentoring Today's Youth into Tomorrow's Leaders, so we have partnered with JAG for the last two academic years. It's a career readiness and college preparedness program at the high school level,” said Nicole Bieker, Milliner vice president of operations.

Milliner works with students on interviewing skills, the importance of internships and job-shadowing. It has created a four-step mock interview process that lets students practice several types of interviews with Milliner staff members and interns.

“We've created the format that by the time they graduate from high school, they will have gone through four different interview formats which consist of a face-to-face interview, phone interview, panel interview and then a group interview. It's just a way for them to hone in their interviewing skills and to get comfortable with marketing themselves,” Beiker said.

This is the second year in a row that Milliner, 4181 E. 96th St., has been recognized for its work. In 2015, the company, founded by Zionsville resident Rich Milliner, won the Care

award. Going into its second year, program organizers realized they needed to work harder to keep the initiative innovative.

“I was told we should be very, very proud of that honorable mention recognition. It is very difficult to repeat, because the criteria the judges use are pretty stringent as far showing proper growth,” Beiker said. “You can't just continue showing what you did the previous year. You have to show an advancement of that initiative. Our team was very proud that we were able to show that and continue to give back to the students and to be recognized by our national association.”

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!

McAnally to perform Dec. 1 at Warehouse

Local hairstylist Carole Scheidler-Effron (Carmel) helped spruce up and prepare wigs backstage for Broadway’s “Cinderella.”

Where’s Amy gets Wig’d Out at behind-thescenes tour of Broadway’s Cinderella Broadway’s “Cinderella” rolled into town and Where’s Amy had a blast getting Wig’d Out at a behind-the-scenes backstage tour at Clowes Memorial Hall.

“Cinderella” dazzled the audience with the classic fairy tale story turned modern, earning a well-deserved standing ovation. Guests of all ages gave it a two thumbs-up. I had a chance to go backstage to see the clever, quirky wigs and elegant, colorful costumes and ran into a few local residents from Carmel and Fishers who were working hard alongside the professional Broadway cast and crew. Where’s Amy got to meet Broadway star Leslie Jackson (Marie) in her dressing room minutes before she was ready to adorn her magical tree horninspired wig. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love Broadway and supporting the arts. Don’t worry, if you missed Cinderella’s Ball there’s tons more Broadway coming soon to Indianapolis, including “The Sound of Music” and Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.” Yep, Where’s Amy will be there and can’t wait to see you there, too. For more, visit indianapolis.broadway.com.

Broadway in Indianapolis Director of Public Relations Matthew J. Porter, Cinderella hair/wig designer Rae Phillips, RSTV Host Alex Taylor and “Cinderella” Broadway Company Manager Justin T. Scholl pause with a few of the quirky wigs.

Where’s Amy ran into Heather Wafford (Fishers), who was working as a wardrobe assistant for Broadway’s “Cinderella.”

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.”

Final show set at Studio 15

By Heather Collins • news@currentzionsville.com The Carmel Theatre Company will present “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” throughout December at Studio 15. “A Child’s theater Christmas in Wales” will be the final performance at Studio 15, 15 First Ave. NE, Carmel.

Studio 15 will be torn down for construction purposes in the Carmel Arts and Design District. CTC was aware of the upcoming construction prior to moving into the space and said it has been very grateful to the mayor and the City of Carmel for allowing it to utilize the space.

“We have very much appreciated the generosity of the city for giving us the space,” said John Clair, chairman of the board for the CTC. CTC’s performance of “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” sold out in 2013. CTC performed “It’s a Wonderful Life” in 2014.

“A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” was a poem written for radio by poet Dylan Thomas. The work has since been adapted into a play.”

The show will include performances of popular holiday tunes, including “The Holly and the Ivy,” “Christmas Pudding” and traditional Welsh Christmas songs.

“Celebrate the joys of all the shows that

Dee Timi is eager to be making her directorial debut at Carmel Community Players.

Timi had helped with CCP the dance past couple of years in a volunteer capacity. Timi, who moved to Westfield three years ago, had been active in community theater in Joplin, Mo. “I wanted to be on the list to be a director and submitted a couple of options,” she said.

“They asked if I would do the Christmas show and I said, ‘Heck, yeah, that will get me in the door.’ To be given the chance to direct here, I’m tickled to death.”

Timi will direct “Dad’s Christmas Miracle” Dec. 2 through 18 at Carmel Community Playhouse, 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd, Suite 140.

Timi acted in CCP’s production of “August: Osage County” last year.

Timi said the comedy, written by Pat Cook, is told through flashbacks. Connor Murphy recalls how he wanted a go-kart for Christmas.

“The kids are amazing,” Timi said of the cast. “They are so incredibly perfect for the parts. It’s truly inspiring and fun. It’s a great family show, so anybody can come. It’s a wonderful cast.”

Mom and Dad Murphy are played by Laura Blatz and Rich Phipps. (Submitted photo)

Courtnie Janikowski, who recently moved to Carmel, is serving as the stage manager.

“Courtnie had been active in community theatre and college plays and she let Carmel Community Players know she’d like to get involved, so I called her,” Timi said. “She is fabulous and right on top of everything.”

Risa Krauter, Carmel, serves as the producer.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays.

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

Create a spa with bling Commentary by Randy Sorrell Shiny and bling aren’t always associated with luxury spa bathroom descriptions, but this Carmel homeowner confidently knew that when styled home improvement with soft colors and elegant elements, spa would prevail. And it did!

VANITY. COUNTER. HARDWARE. After exhaustive research, we ordered the vanity online through Wayfair and pushed those savings toward upgraded shower and floor tile. Perhaps the quality was not quite as impressive as hoped, yet the quality construction prevailed and confidently carries through to the included gray marbled counter and rectangular porcelain sinks. The modern feel is a statement and is echoed throughout.

INTERIOR DECORATOR The impact of a talented interior decorator

on remodel projects always thrills me, especially in master bathrooms and kitchens. Their gift of coordinating colors to create mood and drama is the difference between good and fantastic, with the slightest details pulling it all together. A “shout out” to Jamie Gauker at J. Gauker Interiors for her recent guidance.

Notice the current definition of stainless steel on the sink faucets which carried over to the fixtures on the retro-fitted soaking tub and massive shower protected by a frameless 5’x7’ frosted glass panel. Very dramatic. Let’s look at that beauty another time!

Until then, think spa and how luxurious it could feel in your home.

Invitation to a book signing

Create a winter wonderland

Commentary by Don Knebel

Commentary by Nicole Adams

I am proud to report that the Indiana Historical Society has selected my book, “Flushed with Curiosity – 101 Travel Tales with a Twist,” for inclusion in this travel year’s Holiday Author Fair, taking place at the Indiana History Center in downtown Indianapolis December 3. I will be there from noon to 4 p.m., along with about 60 other Indiana writers, signing copies. The event is free (the books are not) and includes a chance to see the wonderful exhibits in the History Center. You can get more information at indianahistory.org/events/ holiday-author-fair.

“Flushed with Curiosity” is based on the columns I have written for Current for almost five years. The book’s title comes from the first column, reporting my surprise and embarrassment in learning that some people in India still prefer their traditional toilets.

Since then, never again mentioning toilets, I have described sites in 38 different countries.

Nineteen of the 207 columns have been about India, my favorite country to visit. Seventeen columns have been about Syria, which I visited in November 2010, just before the fighting started. Several of the places in Syria I have written about have been destroyed and can no longer be visited by anyone. The columns have described Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Jain, Jewish, Sikh and pagan holy sites, as well as many with no religious significance.

Thirty-four of the columns have mentioned tombs, and several have described heads being separated from bodies, either after death or before. The column about Finnish sauna eti-

Christmas has always been a special time for me ever since I can remember. Not only was it special because it represents the birth of our Savior, it was holidays also special because my mother had a tradition of decorating our house for the holidays. She went all out – even the bathrooms twinkled with lights. Thus began my passion for creating my own winter wonderland. Once we moved into our own house, I was so excited to make it glimmer from the inside out.

While my husband’s job has always been to decorate the outside, I’ve focused on transforming the indoors into Santa’s workshop.

Initially, my purpose was for our kids to have the same magical memories that I did. Then, I realized how much it meant to friends and family who came over to visit. So it became about bringing joy to all who came to visit.

It’s taken time to accumulate my treasure chest of decorations. Here are some of the tips I use when adding to my collection.

First, take any hand-me-downs that are offered. You’d be surprised how many times I took something I didn’t think I had a place for, but actually did.

If you get the chance Dec. 3, please stop by the Author Fair and introduce yourself. I would very much like to meet you. Next week, I will return to my weekly routine, talking about a temple in Taipei where students pray for academic success.

Hanging lights – Use hot glue as a handy way to attach lights to brick surfaces. It’ll make hanging the lights go quickly and the glue scrapes off easily when you take the lights down.

Most phones will allow you to associate a photo with each contact. Then, when the phone rings, you can see at a glance who is calling.

Source: buzzfeed.com Winter emergency kit – As winter closes in, it’s a good idea to stock your car with an emergency kit in case you get stranded in deep snow. Include these things: ice scraper; antifreeze; blankets or sleeping bags; shovel; flashlight and batteries; jumper cables; non-perishable snacks and water; extra clothing; reflective safety triangle.

Safe ‘packing peanuts’ – Do you need some packing peanuts to mail something fragile? Use plain air-popped popcorn instead. It’s inexpensive, weighs practically nothing, is supremely biodegradable and it gets the job done. You may want to add a special note inside your package: “This popcorn used for packing material is safe for birds to eat.”

Source: HouseholdMagicDailyTips.com Intelligence – There are a number of things other than genetics that can influence your intelligence. Here are several proven factors: 1. Smoking – several studies have shown that nonsmokers have higher IQs than smokers.

2. Music – brain research has shown increased activity in brains of those who took music lessons.

3. Pets – while dog people are more outgoing than cat people, the cat people did better on intelligence tests.

Second, Goodwill is your best friend.

When shopping, do a quick look over, and then go shelf-by-shelf moving things to see what’s there.

Surprisingly, my favorite place to shop is Facebook! I’ve found so many amazing finds dirt-cheap from Facebook groups.

For storage get large totes for each room, pack away that room’s decorations along with a picture of what it looked like decorated.

Nicole Adams resides in Zionsville with her husband of 18 years and their two children.
