Officials say pipeline is nearly complete news@currentzionsville.com Vectren’s work in Zionsville is nearly complete, but there is still one section left of a project to upgrade nearly four miles of VIllage pipeline affecting 330 homes in the Village.

According to Vectren’s Senior Operations Officer Brian Hall, Miller Pipeline has 3,000 feet of pipe left to replace. The project, which began in late summer, is scheduled to be complete by spring.

“If the weather holds up we could be finished as early as late February,” Hall told Current.

This excludes final street cleanup and lawn repair, which won’t happen until the weather is warmer. Miller Pipeline has been executing the work in Zionsville on behalf of Vectren with Case Remodeling undertaking some additional cleanup such as cement repair.

Hall said that right now Miller Pipeline’s work is primarily fixing street holes and tidying lawns.

After the holidays Miller Pipeline will return to a smaller area of the Village for the last section of pipeline replacement.

The last phase will be limited to an area south of Oak Street.

“We are done on Oak,” Hall said. More than 65 households along West Pine Street, West Haw-

Earlier this summer Vectren crews began the process of replacing gas mains and service lines throughout the state as part of the company’s pipeline replacement program, which is a multiyear program to replace about 1,300 miles of bare steel and cast iron pipeline infrastructure in nearly 75 cities and towns in Indiana.

After mother’s death football keeps a family together

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It started with a son taking a long shot to get his father Super Bowl tickets. What has evolved is a family tribute to its late contest mother.

Lebanon High School football coach Kent Wright was watching his team’s game film with Sunday Night Football in the background. A spot on an NFL contest called “Together We Make Football” caught his attention. The grand prize group winner receives a trip to the Super Bowl, including game tickets and transportation. The prize is up to 62 guests (immediate family members).

Trouble was he had just a half-hour before the midnight deadline. Kent didn’t even have time to proofread and made the deadline by two minutes. His last line of his essay stated he had more to tell.

A NFL Films producer wanted to hear more and called the next day. What followed has been a whirlwind for the Wrights, long Indiana’s first family of football. Kent’s father Bud Wright has been Sheridan’s coach for 49 seasons, winning nine state titles. Older brother Kevin, Carmel High School coach, has won four state crowns, three with Warren Central and one with Carmel, and formerly led the Noblesville High School team. Younger brother Travis is a Frankfort High School assistant coach. Cheri Hune is Sheridan assistant athletic director. Another sister Lana

McHugh still lives in Sheridan with her family.

The Wrights were selected as one of three group finalists in the contest (there is a separate voting for three individuals). National voting continues until Jan. 5 on togetherwemakefootball. com.

In the video, the family members describe how football has helped the family continue to move on after the loss of their mother Jayne, who committed suicide in 2003 after years of battling depression.

“Dad got all the fame and the glory but mom kept the family together,” Kent said. “She was the glue that kept us all together.”

Kevin said the family wanted to make sure

the story served as a tribute to both parents. All coaches’ wives make sacrifices. Kevin said his mother was always on the go, doing things not only for her five children but Sheridan players as well.

“I told how she used to run the concession stand and do the laundry for the team,” Kevin said. “She was there 24/7. We knew she was dealing with (depression) throughout. But it’s one of those things you don’t understand fully when (you) don’t see the typical signs. She was so wrapped up as a mom, as a coach’s wife and as a mom to other kids on my dad’s teams.”

Both Kent and Kevin said they have received calls and e-mails thanking them for being up front about their mother’s depression. At the time of her suicide, it was hard for the family to address.

“As time goes on, it’s something that has been easier to talk about and we felt that it’s a story that needed to be told,” Kevin said. “There’s a lot of people in similar situations.”

In the video, Bud is seen talking to himself before each game, but he is actually talking to his late wife.

“It helps him get through it,” Kevin said.

Sheridan’s gymnasium was full for his mother’s funeral. But after the community’s outpouring of love, the family had to deal with the loss of the family’s central figure.

Signups under way for Eagle Rec sports, other programs

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Registration is now open for all Eagle Rec programs for the winter and spring sessions, for kids from elementary levels education and beyond.

“Most of our classes are elementary [kids], except engineering classes go through middle school,” Eagle Rec program manager Sue Gregerson said. “In the summer we offer more sports camps that will target older kids, but for the most part everything we offer is for K through eighth grade.”

The more than 40 programs aren’t just for Zionsville students, either. Programs are open to all children in the area.

“First of all you do not have to attend Zionsville schools to attend these programs. So we do cater to some home school kids. Definitely in the summer we had quite a few kids come over from Carmel because we did advertise,” said Gregerson.

The programs are provided by various organizations and each year they come back to offer their programs again, such as Team Witskin Tennis and KidzArt. “Most of our programs are recurring programs and are offered year to year,” said Gregerson. “Basically they [organizations] come back to us and they ask if we can offer classes again and we get them online. We use a software called My Online Camp to put them out

on our website and people register online.”

Programs range from music and singing, art, computer based, various sports, engineering, foreign language and more.

“I’ve gotten feedback from parents because

they love it. You don’t have to drive your kids anywhere. Their kids can just stay after school and attend the activities,” said Gregerson.

One group of programs that have been popular through the years are the foreign language

programs. Amy Molett, head of the Spanish department through Learning Another Language, Inc., has been offering Spanish classes for young students since 1999.

“This is the 15th year of this program,” said Molett. “We started back in 1999. I was the first teacher and basically began as a mom coming to me and saying ‘I’m really wanting my daughter to learn Spanish, but they don’t offer it at the elementary school level, and I was wondering if you would do a class for her at her school.’ And so I set up a classroom, a little, tiny space in the library, and that was the first year.”

Since then the LAL Spanish program has grown to 15 staff members at various Zionsville elementary and middle schools with approximately 150 students enrolled.

Molett believes that the program has had a positive impact on the community and provides young kids a great advantage for their foreign language classes provided by schools.

“I think it impacts the community in a great way because I think it heightens the awareness for the need of bilingualism and for speaking Spanish in the community, and just how much it opens up their world, it opens up their opportunities and gives them many more experiences that they may not have if they didn’t have the ability to speak two languages,” she said.

Yoga for young women: exploring life from the mat

Running and needing more flexibility for marathons helped Robbin Schneider step into yoga more than 15 years ago. wellbeing Schneider, former owner of Lotus Heart Yoga Centre in Carmel, is stretching her yoga experience and teaching into and new program for young women not only to strengthen their physical bodies, but also to open their hearts and minds with her new program, Joiful Life.

“My yoga journey began years ago just so I could get more flexibility for running marathons,” Schneider said. “My time on my mat has truly changed and inspired my life’s path.”

And she is bringing this mobile experience to Joiful Life hoping to help young women of Carmel and Zionsville from the ages of 8 to 18, by empowering and instilling them with awareness, choices and confidences for their futures.

“Youths today are overwhelmed and riddled with worry, anxiety and stress as well as massive amounts of incoming information via technology, this program gives them tools to navigate through the chaos of emotions, growth and maturity,” Schenider said. “It will enable them to progress through their teen years with the strength of personal self-worth and belief in their own inherent value.”

This yogini, mother, wife and teacher will bring this program to the community’s homes, schools’

studios, businesses and churches.

“I can bring this program to you,” Schneider said. “It is set up as a series or workshop that will cover a set number of topics or specific topics to a group. Each class has a purpose and theme encouraging conversation, discussion, sharing and trust.”

Here are one mom’s thoughts.

“Robbin’s yoga program has been a wonderful experience for my daughter, Lauren,” Ellen Cooler, of Carmel, stated. “Lauren has had such a positive experience and gained new insight about herself and her world. Middle school can be a tough place sometimes and Robbin has provided

a fun, safe place for Lauren and her friends to talk and share their thoughts and feelings as well as have fun doing yoga. Lauren loves Robbin, she is such a positive role model for her and someone she can turn to for help and trusted advice.”

Cooler continued: “As a parent, I am thrilled that Lauren has another adult to turn to that has only her best interests at heart, especially since she might not always want to hear things from me.

Lauren definitely wants to continue to be a part of Robbin’s program. We think the world of Robbin.”

Ex-Pacers guard Gill shares skills with kids

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Former Indiana Pacers guard Eddie Gill forged his 12-year professional basketball career with hard work. education Now he wants to share his message of “Hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard” with youngsters.

“I thoroughly enjoy working with kids,” Gill said. “I feel like it is a form of giving back to the community as well. Indianapolis has been great for me and my family. I’ve been here since 2004.

It’s obviously a hotbed for basketball. There are a lot of times that kids are coming up and they’re not necessarily learning the correct way. I want to take time to give back and teach the game the right way.”

Gill, 36, played in 187 games for six teams in seven seasons in the NBA, including the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons with the Pacers. He also played in Europe and Australia and the NBA Development League.

Gill, a Carmel resident, spent the first week of December as a teaching volunteer in Peggy Grimmer’s third- and fourth-grade physical education classes at Oak Trace Elementary in Westfield.

“He’s been teaching them about hard work and having a positive attitude and if you have those two things you can achieve anything,” Grimmer said. “He’s just a great role model for these kids. We think it’s awesome that he’s

volunteering his time to come to our school and share his talent and abilities with us.”

“He talks about the hard work and dedication

it takes to make it at that level. You don’t have to be born with talent as long as you are willing to work hard.”

Oak Trace third-grader Dominic Parisi said having a former Pacers player “helping us getting better at basketball was fun. I’ve never met a real Pacers player before.”

Parisi Fellow Oak Trace thirdgrader Nathan Luprich said Gill offered some good tips.

“He taught us to dribble to the side a lot, not in front so they don’t steal the ball,” he said.

Gill has been running All Luprich Out Training for about two years, teaching basketball fundamentals for boys and girls. Gill said this was a natural fit since throughout his career he participated in camps and NBA Cares.

On Sundays, Gill holds training sessions at The Jungle, 16707 Southpark Dr., in Westfield. He also has individual and group sessions at the SportZone in Indianapolis.

“I love to see the personalities,” Gill said. “After they’ve struggled and then had some success, the look on their faces is priceless. I get a kick out of that for sure.”

The latest recipient of the town’s Façade Grant Program is Ken Price, owner of the Potpourri Building. development Ken Price is excited about his award for restoration to the back of his building that faces First Street (the front which faces North Main is not being restored). He and ZBD are holding off on starting the reconstruction until next spring to save money on construction costs during winter.

“The Zionsville Façade Grant Program was set up to enhance the face of your building,” Price said. “The budget comes from our town council, It is administered by the Zionsville Architectural Review Committee. What (the ZARC) did yesterday is give a commitment they will fund it and we have to work out details. We agreed we won’t agree on final funding until next spring.”

The preliminary cost to restore the back of Price’s Potpourri building is $39,000 and he is hoping for the grant to approve 40 percent of that.

Contractors for his façade grant rehabilitation are Burkhard Construction, for general contracting, Mushalla Electric, for lighting and electrical, Indy Kaldahl, for painting and Beyond Architecture, for architecture.

“I love our building and what we’ve accomplished,” Price said. “This group of tenants is great right now too.”

The Potpourri Building is like much of Zionsville folklore too, shrouded in mystery and stories. According to Price his building is famous even outside of Zionsville for a couple different reasons.

“This building was at one time one complex and all they did was wedding gowns,” Price said.

“We still get an occasional mother with daughter coming in looking for that special dress.”

And the history on the building is sketchy

The property must be in or contiguous to the Zionsville Business District.

The rehabilitation must be visible from a public way The rehabilitation projects must contribute to the enhancement and character of the building a well as ZBD.

at best, including the original architectural drawings.

“It was built in the late 40s, early 50s but we don’t know exactly when. The interesting part is there were fires in the records department in Lebanon and almost everything about the building was lost in the fire,” Price said.

Even the only rendering of the building layout has little details.

“The only drawing of it has parcel numbers and boxes laid next to each other, just sketched out, like a kid’s drawing,” Price, a trained civil engineer, said.

But even with a lack of traceable history for it’s early beginnings, the Potpourri Building will remain a part of the business district’s future.

“The real story about this building, since 2012, is the number of tenants,” Price said. “It was four retail spaces and what we’ve done in the last year is convert it into seven spaces, including the retail front on North Main. The back is an alley with pipes, air conditioners and facility equipment and with the grant, First Street will look like Main Street, but more modern than Main, it will be pretty and beautiful and all the utilities will be hidden, it will be a vast improvement.”

Price, 72, and his wife Christine, also 72, own CK Price Properties, LLC., which has residential holdings the Potpourri Building, a project he hopes to see completed when he retires. He is now CEO of Heritage Environmental Services, of Indianapolis.

Loving low gas prices, for now Commentary by Ward Degler

Gas prices are the lowest they’ve been in four years. I can’t believe I’m actually applauding $2.50 a gallon. plain talk Years ago when a peanut farmer from Georgia was in the White House, the nation was struck dumb when a short chapter of political buffoonery drove prices at the pump from a lackadaisical 75 cents a gallon to a whopping two bucks a shot.

Suddenly, there was a shortage of petroleum in America, and we waited in long lines to get gas, often only a few gallons at a time. More than once I got to the head of the line only to learn the station was sold out. The next delivery truck wasn’t due for several days, if then.

Instantly, gasoline was the most precious commodity to be found. Desperate drivers paid black market prices for a few gallons. Late night gas tank theft was rampant, and folks eagerly bought devices to insert into the gas filler openings of their cars to prevent siphoning. Ads appeared for magical doodads promising to stretch mileage to impossible levels. They didn’t work, but we bought them anyway.

We purchased bicycles for trips to the grocery store. We parked our gas-guzzling land yachts and cancelled Sunday drives.

When the crisis subsided, gas prices inched downward again and the nation breathed a cautious sigh of relief. Detroit saddled up and

galloped off in quest of economy cars. Congress bellowed about foreign oil. Petroleum exploration hit unprecedented highs.

One senior industry analyst quietly announced that this was just the beginning, and one day America would be thrilled to pay $2 a gallon for gasoline. We didn’t believe it, but we realized the days of gasoline for a few cents a gallon along with neighborhood gas wars driving prices even lower were a thing of the past.

For a few years prices hovered below the onedollar mark. Then things heated up in the Middle East, OPEC got seriously organized, and gasoline prices once more inched skyward.

Then came 9/11 and suddenly the world was a different place. Overnight, prices soared. Some stations tried to set the bar at $5 a gallon, and for the past four years prices have stubbornly approached $4.

Then several weeks ago a combination of relentless high OPEC production and efficient drilling methods in the U.S., dramatically increased the supply of crude oil. Pump prices tumbled below $3 for the first time in years.

Will it last? Probably not.

One thing for sure though. That analyst was dead right. I’m loving $2 a gallon.

Plan Commission puts the brakes on new senior living facility

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com Town Hall’s Beverly Harves meeting room was packed with local residents Dec. 15 for the monthly Zionsville Plan development Commission meeting.

More than 60 neighbors from Ind. 334 neighborhoods gathered to hear a petition for the rezoning of 25.33 acres from a single-family residential zoning district to a planned unit development.

The petition relates to Bloomington based CarDon Development Company LLC’s intention to build a senior living facility at the corner of Andreoli 8775 W. Oak St. A meeting was held last month by CarDon to educate neighbors of the property on what the company intended to build at the location. The Dec. 15 ZPC meeting was expected to be the first presentation to the plan commission, but a request for a continuance was submitted by Mike Andreoli, representative of The Enclave residents and other neighborhoods, due to the fact many neighbors were just becoming aware of the proposed project.

“What we’ve seen is widespread remonstrates and concerns about this particular

property,” Andreoli said. “Given the notice of the project with the fact that many in the neighborhood have just become aware of this over the Thanksgiving holiday, we’ve submitted a written request of continuance.”

The petition will continue at the Jan. 19 ZPC meeting.

Other things that happened at the meeting: • A petition to divide two lots, 250 and 251, in the Stonegate neighborhood into four separate lots each for a total of eight lots. The petition was approved with a vote of 5-2 by commissioners.

• A petition for a comprehensive plan amendment to update the town’s current reference mapping of the southeast quadrant of Boone County, which will include parts of Perry Township. The change is simply an update from the current maps that date back to 2009. The petition was approved unanimously.

• A change in sign regulations regarding language clarity of ground identification sign illumination in local subdivisions. The petition was approved unanimously.

These character shoes are sure to dazzle on stage as sequins were replaced by sparkly glitter.

Glinda the Good Witch’s glamorous gown is made from a combination of four different patterns and adorned with sequins and jewels. A special addition to the costume this year is a light-up magic wand.

Each Ozian girl’s green dress will look unique according to age differentiation and economic status to create more of a realistic village setting.

Adrienne Conces brings life to Civic’s “Wizard of Oz”

By Terri Spilman • news@currentzionsville.com There’s no place like home for costume designer Adrienne Conces as the Zionsville native and Ball State graduate cover story sews her magic to bring an iconic cast of characters to life in the Carmel Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s production of “Wizard of Oz,” on stage until Jan. 3.

Conces and her staff (that only includes one assistant and a handful of volunteers) have the laborious task of building individual costumes for each member of the cast of “Wizard of Oz.” The cast is made up of 42 munchkins played by children and 27 adult characters.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of L. Frank Baum’s story coupled with the 75th anniversary of the Civic Theatre, a special costume theme of gold and sparkly seemed the logical choice to Conces.

“We put in a lot more sparkle, and for the Ozians, it’s typically all different shades of green,” Conces said. “I incorporated gold and lots and lots of sparkles to add a whole new level of glam so when the lights hit everything, there will be a whole other level of sparkle and magic.”

Conces turned to the classic MGM film for inspiration yet was given free reign by the show’s

Civic Theatre Costume Designer Adrienne Conces.

director as the stage production primarily relies on the costumes to bring the show alive.

“I watched the movie several times,” she said.

“At the same time, I knew our director did not want to go the Ozian route that they did in the movie which is the 20s and 30s look.”

According to Conces, every character has something that they wear that sets them apart

and makes them memorable and most costumes start out plain built from basic patterns.

“What you see on the pattern is not whimsical or fairytale, so it’s really just a base foundation and your imagination is what makes it - the ruffles, the extra bow in the back, all that is what ends up making it,” she said. “I knew I wanted everything to have gold buttons, which is a theme.”

In between completing her internship at the Civic Theatre and serving in her position as costume designer, Conces spent three years in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. as the Costume Designer at American Heritage Center for the Arts which allowed for many trips to the costume designer’s paradise, Disney World. Her love of Disney served as inspiration for outfitting Glinda the Good Witch of the North.

“My favorite is probably Glinda because it reminds me of when I was a little girl and I just loved big skirts and sparkly fabric. She is much glitterier than the previous one,” she said. “The previous gown had more beadwork so it was beautiful when you were right next to it, but from the audience, you couldn’t necessarily see all the beadwork. So hopefully all the extra sequins will give it an extra level of wonder.”

Conces especially loves designing costumes for the children.

“I incorporated gold and lots and lots of sparkles.”

-Adrienne Conces

This Emerald City guard’s jacket was fashioned from a basic revolutionary war uniform pattern and then transformed with vintage coat buttons that were shined up and repainted in gold.

“They love how whimsical everything is. They have these little flowerpot hats,” she said. “I think the adults love it, but the kids; they just love feeling a part of a fantasy land, especially because they usually have to wear their regular school clothes.”

After all the hard work of Conces and her staff since September when the show was cast, her hope is that their labors of love will evoke the audience’s imagination.

“I hope that the costumes do transport you to another world, that they evoke the imagination,” she said. “I think that’s what it’s all about.”

Magic touch?

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP The reality is this is no dream

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

(With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore, who penned “A Visit from St. Nicholas” we offer this shortened parody.)

Twas two days night before Christmas, when all through the county The shopkeepers were tallying, counting their bounty.

The stockings were stuffed with consumers’ good deeds, Now they’re looking for tax dough somewhere in the weeds.

Politicians were nestled quite smug in their beds, As thoughts of more spending raced in their heads.

And Obama at the helm with Biden on his lap, Just staggered our minds with more useless (stuff).

When out in the streets there arose such a clatter, We hopped in the car to see what was the matter.

In a matter of moments, we arrived to take in, The news that a Bush could be running again.

One side of the aisle sent forth a sigh, Because Hillary’s announcement soon would be nigh.

So a nation divided we assume will be clear, And the election won’t come for a whole ‘nother year.

There’s but little time to change up this state, And a third party’s coming just might be too late.

But we know the truth and it’s far out of sight, As America wonders, Is “Idol” on tonight?

So we sprang to our cars, to our crew gave a whistle, And straight to the bar we both flew like a missile.

You might’ve heard us exclaim, ‘ere we drove out of sight, “Can someone right this ship and do it tonight?”

OK, maybe it’s a weak-humored Christmastime take on a classic, but our nation continues to be a horrid study in dysfunction. From politics to social issues, and from special interests to pure vanity (and the vain know who they are), there is so much to clean up and accomplish. And so, here it is, our Christmas wish for you and us: We all need to give ourselves the gift of holding our leaders accountable, and that, we believe, ultimately will get our nation back on course. Meantime, we sincerely wish you and yours a wonderful, safe and restful holiday.

A happy meal

Commentary by Terry Anker

The American drive-thru restaurant is a modern marvel. Sure, we can criticize that it has contributed to the raging obesity epidemic or even that it can claim its share of impact on the decline of the traditional family dinner, but one cannot deny that it moves more tasty calories to more people more quickly than any mechanism here-to-fore imagined.

In our own home, food passed through a pickup window is generally reserved for family trips.

When we are collectively on the road for vacation or to visit relatives out-of-town, the usual aversion to eating in the car is relaxed. In fact, we often start the adventure with a stop at the ubiquitous fast food joint at the interstate highway entrance before “officially” getting underway.

Nothing inaugurates a long journey like lava-hot coffee and a potato product stamped into an oval puck. Over the years, my youngest son and I have taken an unofficial survey of french fries, measuring each based upon a plethora of factors from shape to shelf-life.

Even Russia, has used quick serve as a barometer of east-west detente. With glasnost came the first McDonalds in Moscow and the accompanying long lines (and good service) that one might expect. And now as Putin has thrown his people back a few decades, McDonalds has been banished from the would-be soviet-again capital to prove, one might guess, that they’d rather starve than eat a McNugget.

But for all the happy meals, pardon the reference, amateur critique and international intrigue, drive-thru joints are a staple. A bell weather of our economy and, it seems, of geopolitical tension, these establishments also are workplace to millions. With us ensconced in our vehicles and them sheathed in some monotonous cinder block building, it is easy to forget the humanity of the process.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K Wanderer, there is no path.

The path is made by walking.

– Antonio Machado

I’ll be honest, certain “magical creatures” are starting to tangle my tinsel, and I’m not afraid to name names. This may end me up on someone’s naughty list, but the time for silence is over.

First up, the stupid Tooth Fairy. Maybe she’s super busy this month, or perhaps her nostalgia for the rockin’ eighties has led her to the liquor cabinet more frequently than usual, but she has really dropped the mistletoe ball lately. My youngest lost a tooth two weeks ago, and we’re still waiting on Madame Tooth Fairy to make an appearance. I could have sworn I heard her the first night that little molar went under Maddie’s pillow, but three mornings later, my daughter was still complaining about her absence. And when I pointed out a stray dollar at the end of her bed as evidence that the TF had indeed paid a visit, Maddie declared that that particular buck was left over from her money-counting spree the day before. Come on! Why would the Tooth Fairy breaks a little girl’s heart like this? Especially at the holidays? I discussed the importance of the Tooth Fairy’s return out loud the other day with my husband, and I’m pretty sure she heard me, but Maddie continues to proclaim that she has yet to receive cash. Either that TF is playing reindeer games or my daughter’s just discovered the definition of “embezzlement.”

Which brings me to my next controversial, supposedly joy-bringing seasonal visitor, Pickleknuckle, our resident elf-on-the-shelf. When he arrived six years ago, he was super-cute and funny, and would always surprise us with his inventive hiding places. Each morning brought another mystery [“Where’s PK?”] and a sleigh of giggles [“Fishing in the toilet with Geoffrey’s toothbrush? Hilarious!”]. Now he’s about as exciting as Ebenezer Scrooge on a spending splurge. Sometimes he doesn’t even change his location! I won’t go so far as to call him a drunk, but a lot of wine does seem to be disappearing lately. And his eyes have taken on that glazed-over, elf-in-headlights kind of look. It’s almost as if he’s, shhh, not real. I know one thing, if Pickleknuckle doesn’t get his act together soon, he might be looking for a new family next Christmas, or worse yet, sent down to the minors where he’ll spend his golden years as an ornament. Yeah, I said it.

So Santa, if calling out your cohorts puts me on the “Not Nice” list, so be it. But perhaps you could pull off a little miracle of your own, and bring an extra three hours for every day in December. I know the Tooth Fairy and Pickleknuckle (and parents everywhere) would greatly appreciate it! Peace out!

‘If it would have been for …’

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Here’s my annual shout-out to all the folks who made writing a weekly humor humor column a little easier in 2014. So, my thanks goes to: • Black & Decker, whose weed whacker user guides aren’t half as scary as their new toasters’ instructions. You are clearly warned of the dangers of connecting your appliance to other devices, which means, I guess, that I can’t upload iTunes directly from my iPad to my toaster. They also advise that the cord is made intentionally short so you won’t become entangled in it and fall. If you are running an extension cord from your outdoor deck through the living room and into the kitchen to plug in your toaster, apparently this is not a good idea.

• The maker of the HydroFloss, an expensive dental gadget that my hygienist convinced me to buy because she said I had deep pockets, and stupidly I thought she meant my gums. Here was another product with scary warnings, like, “Don’t use this when drowsy,” which kind of makes brushing your teeth before bed a real problem. Also, “Do not look at yourself in the mirror when you use this device.” Have you ever brushed your teeth and not looked in the mirror? I ended up spraying water all over the sink,

the mirror and the floor. I even got some in my mouth.

• Hammacher Schlemmer, for my favorite item of 2014: The SHARK BAIT SLEEPING BAG. The photo shows a toddler snuggled inside the bag with only his head sticking out of the shark’s mouth. According to HS, this neat gift “devours children with shark-induced slumber.” Soothing, huh? But there’s more! “It facilitates restful sleep even while the child is being digested.” My suggestion is to wait to buy this on Craigslist for onetenth the price on Dec. 26.

• To my wonderful wife, for two reasons.

First, she laughs even at jokes made at her own expense. Like on our trip to Italy, where she dragged me to Roman ruins in the morning, then Roman ruins after lunch.

We saw ruins for 12 straight hours. “Did you like how I planned our Tuesday activities?” she asked that night. “Oh, yes,” I said. “No one can ruin a day better than you.”

• And finally, my gratitude to her for letting me join a strip club. Now every month I get a different kind of bacon in the mail.

Returning from Beef & Boards’ 2001 cast to perform in the upcoming production of “The Odd Couple” are (from left): Eddie Curry as Felix Unger, Dan Scharbrough as Murray, and Jeff Stockberger, who will play Oscar Madison. (Submitted photo)

‘The Odd Couple’ hits the stage Dec. 27

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre will premiere their rendition of the Neil Simon comedy “The Odd Couple” on Dec. 27.

The comedy, which celebrates TheatEr its 50th anniversary in 2015, will feature longtime Beef and Boards actors like Eddie Curry as the uptight Felix Unger and Jeff Stockberger as the laid back Oscar Madison.

“The main thing that’s interesting is that everyone has worked with Beef and Boards before,” Curry said. “It’s just like playing basketball. [Jeff Curry and I] know how to work off each other because we know what to expect from one another.”

Curry and Stockberger began their professional and personal friendship in 1989, when they met while performing outdoor theater shows in Texas. Stockberger eventually moved to New York while Curry joined Beef and Boards in Carmel, Ind. After September 11, 2001, Stockberger left New York to live in St. Louis. Once a job opened up at Beef and Boards, Curry was quick

to suggest Stockberger apply.

“My unemployment had just run out,” Stockberger said. “There was certainly no work. I had [a moving] truck for six days, so I stopped and visited with my friend. [Beef and Boards] offered me a job. I worked as stage manager for fourand-a-half years.”

While Stockberger says the job gave him a deeper respect for behind-thescenes theater workers, he often ended up being thrown onstage for various roles, earning him a consistent acting job with Beef and Boards.

“The audience loves him,” Stockberger Curry said. “He and I get paired up in Martin Lewis-type roles. We have a pretty good time together.”

Despite a great sense of camaraderie, working at Beef and Boards requires a quick turnaround on rehearsal times and set design.

“Most theaters probably take three to four weeks for rehearsal, to sit down and discuss the script. We don’t take time for that,” Curry said. “We’re looking for people who can do that process on their own. The actors will get about

six days of rehearsal before we start throwing costumes, lights and other set elements into the piece.

Curry says that the newly acquired rehearsal space for Beef and Board productions allows for a highly polished production.

“It makes me come in a lot more prepared than other people,” Stockberger said.

Both occasionally work for other theater groups, which they say afford them an often awkward amount of preparation.

“I get antsy now whenever I work some place where they have a longer process,” Curry said. “I think ‘What are you going to do with all this time?’”

Both Curry and Stockberger hope to provide a classic, even nostalgic interpretation of “The Odd Couple.” “‘The Odd Couple’ is just fun,” Curry said. “The writing is a road map to the rhythm of delivery. I want to make sure you can hear Neil Simon’s intended delivery. You have to regard Simon as one of the classic comedy writers of our time.”

The Odd Couple runs Dec. 27 through Feb. 8.

Silk scarves by Sylvia Gray Commentary by Jillian Albrecht The first time I met Sylvia Gray, she was giving a free demonstration during the Second Saturday Gallery Walk in the Art District. There Art in the space (which now proudly hosts the Hoosier Salon) I saw a plain, white, silk scarf attached to something I assumed the Inquisition would have used to interrogate natural fibers that were under suspicion.

However, Gray uses the contraption as an easel for painting silks, and I can assure you that no silks are harmed in the process. They are very much changed, though. I had the chance to watch Gray paint an entire scarf, while discussing art, technique, different mediums and doting on her adorable pack of rescued dogs and cats.

Her brushstrokes were as fluid as the gorgeous abstract she created.

“I try not to have expectations,” she said.

“When I expect something, I’m usually disappointed. I have a vague idea of what I’d like to do, but I just have fun and go where it leads me.”

She makes it look so simple, but watching closely, I can see how deftly she mixes her dyes to tell stunning color stories that have obviously been developed by years of practice and experience. Gray clearly loves to learn and expand.

“Recently I started doing figures,” she said.

“When I began I always thought, ‘That’s what artists do.’”

Her scarves with figures are fascinating, and definitely remind me of what I find so fantastic about Gray’s creations -their extreme versatility.

Her silks could hang as beautifully on a wall, as they could around your neck. One scarf I admired in particular was priced at $40.

The price is determined by the type of silk, and number and difficulty of the processes that are used to create it. To learn more about Gray visit www.sylviagray.net.

Roasted Rack of Venison with Red Currant and Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients: 4 cups veal or beef stock, preferably homemade. 2 dried bay leaves. 1 bunch fresh thyme. 3/4 cup ruby port wine.

1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped. 1/2 cup redcurrant jam. 4 tablespoons whole black peppercorns. 4 tablespoons whole juniper berries. 4 tablespoons dried rosemary. 1 tablespoon salt. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons butter. 2 (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each) racks venison, well trimmed. 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour. 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries.

Directions: Combine stock, bay leaves, thyme, port, ginger, and jam in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until stock has reduced to 1 cup, about 1 hour.

Flu, whooping cough infiltrating local schools news@currentzionsville.com Local schools in the Indianapolis-metro area are reporting large numbers of student and teacher absences, mostly as a wellness result of the flu or a strain of pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, that has been confirmed by the Center for Disease Control to be making its way across the Midwest.

According to a report from St.Vincent Hospital, an average of 36,000 Americans die; and more than 200,000 are hospitalized from serious flurelated complications. At the same time, the CDC stated in a December Surveillance Trend Report that the number of whooping cough patients has slowly risen since 1990, with the last two years seeing a nearly 10 percent increase.

Noblesville Schools Spokeswoman Marnie Cooke said the district has not been notified of any confirmed cases of whooping cough, but that if they were they “have cleaning and communication procedures in place.”

Westfield Washington Schools Supt. Dr. Mark Keen also said his district is not dealing with any cases of whooping cough to their knowledge but the flu has seemed worse this year.

“We have had a higher than normal number of absences at a couple of schools,” he said, adding protocols are in place for a viral outbreak. “In every instance, our procedure is to work with the Hamilton County Health Dept. and follow

whatever directions and procedures they give to us. They’re the experts.”

Dr. Tracey R. Ikerd, medical director of infection control at Riverview Health, said the hospital is not experiencing any specific outbreaks associated with pertussis at this time. He added that Riverview Health has policies and protocols in place to protect patients and staff members from infection.

“If a patient arrives at a doctor’s office or the hospital with a cough, they should wear a mask,” he said. “The staff treating the patient is also instructed to wear a mask. If a patient has confirmed pertussis, contact and droplet isolation precautions would be initiated; meaning anyone entering the patient’s room would wear a gown, gloves and a mask. In addition, hand hygiene would be performed before and after patient contact.”

Apart from vaccination and encouraging booster shots for pertussis, one thing local hospitals, such as St.Vincent, are doing to prevent the spread of these illnesses is restricting visitors in hospital rooms and telling patients to stay home from school or work if they exhibit any signs of illness.

“By temporarily restricting visitors, we can help limit the spread of influenza, and continue to provide exceptional care to our patients,” stated Dr. Richard Fogel, chief clinical officer at St.Vincent.

Dr. Michael Tsangaris, pediatric pulmonologist for Riley Children’s Specialists at IU Hospital

North, encourages families with new babies at home to take extra precautions.

“Ask visitors if they’ve experienced a lingering cough that’s lasted for two or more months – this could be a sign of pertussis. For anyone who wants to hold the baby, insist that they wash their hands,” he said.

Although expectant mothers receive a TDaP booster as part of routine prenatal care, he encourages new fathers to take the same preventative measure.

Learn the basics of stretching

Commenatary by Chintan Amin, M.D.

While many people commit to exercise, fewer commit to stretching before they exercise.

Stretching offers a number Fitness of important benefits, including improving the quality of aerobic exercise and strength training workouts. There are also benefits to stretching outside of physical activity, for instance if you stretch when you awaken in the morning or before bed at night.

Overall, stretching increases blood flow and keeps the body limber by releasing muscle tension and tightness. Tight muscles can’t function like they should. Stretching also promotes flexibility, which ensures muscles and joints are able to move through the full range of motion. That’s why it’s important to stretch and complete mild warm-up exercises before any moderate or vigorous exercise. Additionally, exercise results in a shortening of the muscles, which stretching alleviates. It also helps decrease the chance of injury to muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Here are tips for stretching: • Don’t attempt to stretch muscles when they are “cold.” Walk or light-jog for five to 10 minutes before stretching.

• Stretch at least two to three times per week. If you work out that often, just make stretching a part of your normal routine.

• Stretch each muscle group (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, chest, back) using slow, gentle movements. Be sure to breathe while you stretch, exhaling as you move into the stretch.

• Hold onto a chair or the wall for standing stretches to provide stability.

• Don’t overstretch. To improve flexibility, you must stretch and hold a muscle beyond its normal point. However, be sure to stop stretching if you feel pain. Improper stretching can harm muscles by creating small tears that will enlarge during activity or exercise. Stretch muscles to a comfortable point and hold for 15 seconds.

• Avoid bouncing. This can increase the likelihood of injuries and isn’t recommended for beginners or anyone recovering from injury.

Talk to your primary care doctor before beginning a stretching or exercise regimen if you have musculoskeletal disease or symptoms such as joint or muscle pain. Your doctor and/or a certified fitness trainer are good resources if you have questions about proper stretching.

Saints Eustochium, Paula, Jerome, and Eusebius of Cremona in Jerome’s Bethlehem Cave (Photo by Don Knebel)

Bethlehem’s other cave Commentary by Don Knebel Christians all over the world travel to Bethlehem this time of year to see the cave below the Church of the Nativity where traditravel tion says Jesus was born. Another Bethlehem cave honors the man who created a translation of the Nativity story that remained unchanged for almost 1,600 years.

Saint Jerome was born in about 342 A.D. and studied Latin and Greek in Rome. Rejecting what he considered the depravity of Roman life, he converted to Christianity, studied theology, and traveled to churches around the Empire, eventually becoming a priest. In 382, Pope Damasus asked Jerome, then back in Rome, to make a definitive Latin translation of the four Gospels from their original Greek. While completing his assignment, Jerome aroused suspicion because of his close relationship with a wealthy Roman widow named Paula and her daughter Eustochium. The three moved to Bethlehem, where Paula and Eustochium established monasteries and convents. They also supported and assisted the ascetic Jerome as he worked alone in a tiny cave for 34 years, translating most of the remainder of the Bible into Latin from the original Hebrew and Greek.

Jerome’s life’s work, the “Vulgate” or “common” translation, became the standard Bible of Roman Catholics until the twentieth century, but it was not error free. His mistaken translation of the Hebrew word meaning “radiant” as “horned” led artists including Michelangelo to depict Moses with horns on his head.

The cave where Jerome labored is now a chapel beneath Bethlehem’s Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria. Wall mosaics depict Eustochium, Paula, Jerome, and Eusebius of Cremona, who managed the monasteries after Jerome’s death.

All became saints, with Paula considered the patron saint of widows, and all were buried in an adjacent cave. Jerome’s remains were later moved to Rome and parts of his body are claimed by several churches. A statue outside the church depicts Jerome with a human skull at his feet, his constant reminder of the shortness of life.

Every visit to Bethlehem begins with a visit to the cave of Jesus’ birth. It should end with a visit to the cave of Saint Jerome.

Germs favorite hiding places in hotel rooms As you prepare for holiday travel, keep in mind these hiding places for germs. In a study from the University of Arizona’ Germa Lab, scientists applied test swabs to various areas in hotel rooms, associated with a variation of the top chain hotels in the country. A meter provided instant readouts of the bacteria counts. Anything over 100 on the scale was considered an unacceptable level of bacteria.

Light switches were the cleanest, with readings as low as 6.

At nearly every hotel tested, the phones were teeming with bacteria — double or even more than triple the acceptable limit of 100.

The single dirtiest thing in all rooms was the TV remote control.

All of the remotes in the rooms tested registered sky-high levels of bacteria, with one delivering a 498.

EXISTING KITCHEN: Built in 1916, this home located in the Meridian Kessler area featured many historical design blueprint for elements including a improvement maid’s quarters, butler’s pantry and a small kitchen. “Our house has been in the family for three generations. The last renovation was done in 1950. The cabinets were in bad shape and the layout no longer functioned well in today’s world.

We wanted to modernize the kitchen with clean lines and a gray color pallet and preserve the historical look to be consistent with the rest of our home.”

OPEN-CONCEPT: The walls separating the kitchen, butler’s pantry and maid’s quarters were removed to create one large open space. A new beam was installed to support the second floor.

Two double hung windows with colonial lights replaced the existing doors and helps fill the room with natural light.

CABINETS & COUNTERTOPS: The shaker style of the gray perimeter cabinets is clean lined, while the traditional hardware adds to the historic look. The large island features maple cabinetry in an “Arctic White” finish topped with black pearl granite. The island features plenty of seating space which allows the homeowners to mingle with guests while cooking for large parties.

before & after

RESULT: “What we love most about the kitchen is the openness and the overall look. We love to cook and entertain. We can now do both of those things at the same time because of the open layout and extra seating at the island.”

CLASSIC FINISHES: The backsplash features traditional 3-by-6 “Ice White” subway tile with a contrasting gray colored grout. A Kohler apron front sink was chosen for its classic look and ability to easily wash large pots and pans. “The flooring was one of the most important details considered during the design phase. The rest of the first floor is all original wide plank peg and groove hardwood and we wanted to continue that look into the kitchen.” New engineered wood flooring blends perfectly with the existing hardwood and is more cost effective.
