As with the Superman and Hulk movies, the do-over of “The Wol-verine” wasn’t markedly better than the first attempt. The new version goes for an adaptation of a popular 1980s graphic novel set in Japan, but booted most of the narrative and replaced it with a confusing mish-mash of fight scenes, wooing and, for some rea-son, a cyborg.

DVD review

Sweet sounds – The top jazz bands from No-blesville and Fishers high schools opened the show for the Northern Illinois Jazz Ensemble at NHS on Nov. 22. Famed bassist Rodney Whita-ker also performed at the show.

Free parking – Mayor John Ditslear has an-nounced that the December free parking initia-tive for the City Hall metered parking lot will return again this year. This initiative’s purpose has been to encourage downtown holiday shopping since the parking lot is located just one block away from the courthouse square. The City Hall public parking lot is immediately east of City Hall and is situated between Con-ner and Maple Streets. “As always, we hope this program will inspire people during the holiday season to come explore the many things that downtown Noblesville has to offer,” Ditslear stated.

Memorial receives heartfelt donation

Krista Beck’s first-grade class from Geist Elementary donated $150 to Local 4416 President Tony Murray, back row, far right, Fishers Fire Chief Steven Orusa, back row far left, and local firefighters for the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighters Memorial. (Submitted photo)

By Robert Herrington • [email protected]

Students in Krista Beck’s first-grade class at Geist Elementary School came together and donated their

loose change to help raise funds for the Hamilton County Fallen Firefighters Memorial.

After all the pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters were counted the first-graders donated $150 to the project.

“It was tremendous,” Local 4416 President Tony Murray said. “It’s a really nice gesture.”

The Memorial Committee was grateful for the stu-dents’ hard work and wanted to find a special way to show their appreciation. In addition to the visit by the firefighters, the class also will receive a brick paver that will be displayed at the memorial site.

“They can visit and find their brick years from now,” Murray said.

Beck said this project has helped students re-member the sacrifice firefighters make for their com-munities and remind them that they are never too young to help others.

Local career and volunteer firefighters have come together as a committee to construct a memorial for three Hamilton County firefighters who gave their life in the line of duty. The goal is to raise $275,000 to

build the monument on the grounds of the Hamilton County Judicial Center in Noblesville by September.

Murray said small and large donations have been made – a total of approximately $20,000 since the Oct. 13 campaign kick off. Current Publishing is one of the effort’s sponsors.

“A lot of interest generated is from Current’s par-ticipation,” he said. “The word is getting out… We’ve applied for some grants. We’re on our way.”

Glen Schwartz and his family donated $12,000 at the kick-off announcement.

“For us it’s a very ambitious project. We’ve received support verbally and $20,000 in the span of a few weeks. I’m very happy with the public support,” Murray said.

Murray said the first milestone is raising $30,000 for the downpayment on the bronze statue of a grieving firefighter by Arizona sculptor Nicholas Wil-son. The statue will include three bronze helmets to honor the three firefighters who died in the line of duty. In the event that another emergency worker dies tragically, another helmet will be placed.

Murray said the “100-percent original piece” takes several months to create. The park-like setting of the memorial is designed by Hittle Landscaping and in-cludes two key items: a piece of metal beam from the World Trade Center in New York City and the sculpture.

Columnist Mike Red-mond used to be a dedicated gym rat, then the warranty ran out on his body and things that used to make him feel good, i.e., picking up extremely heavy objects and putting them down in precisely the same place, began causing damage. But the time to resume working out has come – maybe. To read more, visit www.current-noblesville.com

Jason Lafever of Nobles-ville was among the mem-bers of the Saint Joseph’s College Concert Choir and Chamber Singers that trav-eled to Italy for a series of concerts and religious ser-vices at ancient sites rich in history and tradition. The highlight of the trip was the closing weekend celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Cap-pella Giulia at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. To read more, visit www.currentnoblesville.com

SO, WHEN SHOULD YOU SEE YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT YOUR BACK PAIN?

Certainly you can wait a few weeks to see if that muscle spasm or joint arthritis improves after you’ve modifi ed some of your activities and taken some anti-infl ammatories. However, if you have had symptoms for more than four weeks, you should see your primary care physician to evaluate it.

There are also certain symptoms that we call “red fl ag symptoms.” For example: if you have any signs of acute weight loss; if you’re having fevers, chills or night sweats; if you have a pain in your back that wakes you up at night; if you have any history of cancer. These are all cases where you need to get in and see someone right away.

Thankfully, most cases of low back pain go away on their own after a few days. In those rare instances where it does not, there are several treatment options, such as medications, physical therapy, or target injection treatment to help alleviate the pain.

When it comes to treating back pain, the staff at St.Vincent

Fishers Hospital has years of spine experience. It’s a brand new facility, which means we’re working with state-of-the-art equipment on the latest procedures to help ensure our patients have the best possible outcomes. From the nursing staff to the imaging technicians, they’re very attentive and compassionate to the patients’ needs.

For more information or to schedule a free get-acquainted visit with Dr. Praveen C. Perni, call 317-583-3192.

Back pain is the second most common reason patients go to see their doctor, after the common cold.

The most common cause of back pain is a muscle strain or sprain. There are several muscles that run along the spine on either side, and sometimes when you twist or turn the wrong way, you can get tears in the muscle or the ligaments that attach to the bone, causing muscle spasms and the acute onset of back pain.

Another cause for low back pain involves the disc that cushions the two vertebral bodies in the spine. Over time, that disc can get some wear and tear, and as we get older, the disc starts to dehydrate. When that happens, you can get tears and herniations in the disc, which can become painful and cause lower back pain.

When the disc starts to wear out, that starts to put more pressure on your facet joints, which are the joints in the back of your spine. Those can also become arthritic and painful. Usually when people have facet arthritis, they have pain mostly when they are bending backwards, or leaning to the side or rotating. All of those movements put more pressure on the facet joints.

Nearly one full semester into the new bal-anced calendar, a majority of parents and school staff indicated through a district survey that

they like Noblesville Schools’ new school year plan.

After this year’s fall break, a survey was created to help the district gauge the opinions of parents, teachers, administrators and members of the support staff. More than 2,700 people took the community survey with two-thirds coming from the elementary schools and 35 percent (950 people) coming from Nobles-ville High School. When asked their opinions of the calendar at this point in the school year,

New calendar preferred in survey55.8 percent (1,489 people) preferred the new calendar, 17.5 percent (467 respondents) liked the traditional calendar and 26.7 percent (713 people) had not decided.

Nearly 850 staff members – including 526 teachers – took a staff survey. When asked the same calendar question, 71.4 percent were in favor of the new calendar, 5.9 percent preferred the traditional calendar, and 22.7 percent were undecided.

When asked if the two-week break was gen-erally beneficial, 59.6 percent (1,600) of parents and 54.7 percent (428) of staff replied yes.

Noblesville Schools will continue to collect feed-back on the calendar as the year progresses.

Noblesville High School’s speech team traveled to Glenview, Ill. on Nov. 23 to compete in the 34th

edition of The Glen-brooks Speech & Debate Tournament.

Seven members of the NHS speech team com-peted in dramatic interpretation, humorous in-terpretation, duo interpretation, original oratory, extemporaneous speaking, and prose/poetry.

Seniors Victoria Houghtalen, Chase Elliott, Pete Freeman, Luis Sorto, Kelly Weaver, Kristen Pimley and Sara Highers represented the team.

The Glenbrooks Tournament is the largest regu-lar season speech and debate tournament in the nation. More than 217 schools were represented at this year’s contest, including 1,800 speech and debate entries. Speech competitors compete in

four preliminary rounds before cuts are made to quarterfinal, semifinal, and final rounds.

Highers placed 26th in the humorous interpretation event with her interpretation of “Waffles After Dark” by Heather Martz. Elliott and Freeman competed in the duo interpretation category, placing sixth overall out of nearly 100 duo entries. Their interpretation of the book “Wigfield” by Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert, earned high praise from the tournament’s pool of judges. Elliott and Freeman’s break into a national final round is a first for the team.

The Noblesville High School speech team is comprised of more than 30 students who com-pete in multiple regular season tournaments across the state. The team is currently ranked eighth overall in Indiana and in the top 10 percent nationally, as reported by the National Forensic League. The team is coached by Evan Elliott, a NHS graduate and local real estate agent.

Noblesville has launched a software system called NEOGOV to improve the hiring process

for those interested in seeking employment with the city. Job seekers are

now able to quickly apply online for job openings when positions become available with the City of Noblesville. In addition, the online application system allows individuals to submit job interest cards if there are no current openings or open-ings that do not match a candidate’s interest. Individuals will then receive an email when a job opening is posted on the city’s Website that matches his/her job interest card selections.

The NEOGOV system allows the city’s human resources department and department manag-ers to quickly access online records which will then help to expedite the hiring process. In ad-dition, this system allows hiring managers to initially evaluate a pool of applicants in a more efficient manner.

Job applications quicker, easier

“While our previous system had the advantage of allowing us to interact immediately with all job applicants, we wanted to offer an online ap-plication system to help make the process easier for job seekers,” Mayor John Ditslear stated.

Business of the year IDI Composites International

IDI Composites International is the premier global formulator and manufac-turer of thermoset industrial compounds for custom molders and original equipment manufacturers

“Composites International started in No-blesville in 1966, known as Industrial Dielec-trics, Inc. - IDI - which is what we all still call it,” said Executive Vice President Jay Merrell. “We make polyester modeling materials for electrical, automotive, appliance applications – many different things that you use in your household but don’t think about very much that would come from Noblesville.”

The business, started by Merrell’s father, John, began as a stamping business. His first customer was RCA.

“The business at the time was built for electrical insulating materials, mostly for TVs and radios. If you think back to the old days of the TV turners where you actually had to walk up to the TV and twist the knob, the switch on the inside we made the parts for those.”

The company started to make the ma-terials themselves for the same insulated parts and the chemistry of making materials transferred into the modeling materials that it makes today.

“The business is going to continue to grow. It will continue to grow here in Noblesville and that’s one of the main reasons we did our remodeling project,” Merrell said.

The company also has plants in Puerto Rico, England, France and China but the markets the company touches are as equally broad as its global business. From automo-tive to electrical applications for switch gears and circuit breakers, Composites Internation-al makes things that help distribute electric-ity. Merrell said the Noblesville plant makes bulk molding compounds and sheet molding compounds.

“These are raw materials that are then molded into all these various products,” Mer-rell said.

The annual Enterprise Awards are present-ed to local businesses and people for their exceptional work by the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and the City of Noblesville.

Enterprise Awards

Young Professional of the YearAlaina Shonkwiler, Economic Development Department

The inaugural Young Professional of the Year Award went to Noblesville native and city employee Alaina Shonkwiler.

“I’m being rewarded for doing something I love,” she said. “I feel the pressure that I have to set that stan-dard and keep on doing what I’m doing.”

The 2001 Noblesville High School graduate earned a degree in public affairs management and a minor in nonprofit management from Indiana University.

“Like many of my fellow (NHS) graduates I decided I needed to leave Noblesville and experience something else and with that I packed up and moved to Wash-ington, D.C.,” Shonkwiler said, adding she worked as a budget analyst for the corporation of national and com-munity service for three years after graduation.

Shonkwiler, 30, returned home in 2009 after brief stays in Fort Bragg, N.C. and Columbus, Ohio. She worked part-time at the Noblesville Chamber of Com-merce before becoming an economic development specialist for the city.

“Before I started working for the city I had no idea the focus the mayor and city had on the quality of life aspect for our citi-zens,” Shonkwiler said.

Shonwiler, whose focus is on community development in the down-

town and Old Town areas, is a stable at Nickel Plate Arts, Hamilton Coun-ty Convention and Visitors Bureau, Noblesville Main Street and Kiwanis meetings and events.

“What I love about going into work is building rela-tionships and talking to people who have such a pas-sion for downtown. We’re all trying to make it a better place,” she said. “Being from Noblesville I remember coming into downtown for different events. I like we are creating that sense of place for the community.”

One of Shonkwiler’s favorite aspects of her job is her involvement in the future of Noblesville.

“One of the most beautiful things about my job and my role in this community is I do get to have an impact on it. We’re talking about the Westside Park and having it be an 85 to 100 year park. We’re talking about the materials that might be here for someone else. We’re building a community for the future and someone did that for us so I want to be able to do that for them, my grandkids and the future generations.”

Her wide range of topics makes each day at work unique and different.

“I love that I can go from a very serious project submission to going to an arts council meeting. Some are serious, some are fun – it fits my personality well,” she said. “I’m so glad the mayor see’s that. It’s his vision I get to act it out.”

Business Person of the YearDarren Peterson, Peterson Architecture

By Robert Herrington [email protected]

A leap of faith and one dedicated lunch break helped Darren Peterson, 46, start his architecture firm 17 years ago.

“Somebody once told me if you don’t start your company before you’re 30 you won’t start it until you’re 50. So four months before my 30th birthday –

four months before my first daughter was born – I went out on my lunch hour. They were widening 116st Street and I went door to door with all those businesses that were affected, negotiated a contract (with one business) and went back to my company and quit my job,” Peterson said.

Peterson said a secret of his success has been the company’s willing-ness to take on any project. The original focus was on outpatient medical facilities, which was hit and miss, so the firm expanded to design gas stations, factories, warehouses and restaurants. Peterson has buildings in 37 states, Guam and Puerto Rico.

“I’m the author of the fourth largest building in Oregon, a 1.5 million square foot Lowe’s distribution center,” he said. “While we were working on that we were also getting a building permit for a dog house here in Hamilton County.”

Among his clients are five Fortune 500 companies including Lowe’s, Frito Lay and Pepsi Co.

“I try to make everyone feel unique. I’ve designed 50 Taco Bell restau-rants and every one is a little different,” he said.

Peterson Architecture is at 298 S. 10th St. – a place he is very familiar with.“Fifteen years ago we designed the area that used to be a spa,” Peter-

son said.Peterson graduated from Ball State University in 1991, when the

economy “was pretty bad.” His first job out of school was as a graduate architect at Ernst Bliem Architect in Tirol, Austria.

“I spent every penny I had traveling around Europe,” he said.When he returned stateside, Peterson landed in Noblesville as he

stayed with friends.“I had no home or car. Noblesville got to be home pretty quick,” he said.

“My first client was in Noblesville. “Fishers and Carmel didn’t have the same home feel.”

Peterson said it’s important for the success of your business to be active in the community.

“You have to be a part of the community to better understand your clients better. I know why I moved to Noblesville and understand why they moved to Noblesville,” he said. “The goal is to work, play and live all in the same place.”

Outside of work, Peterson is involved in the Noblesville Riverwalk Com-mittee, Façade Grant program, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Noblesville First United Methodist Church and Nickel Plate Arts. He also is the vice president of Noblesville Main Street where he created the Thursday eve-ning produce market this summer.

“It was a nice intimate marketplace. There was a big variety this first year,” Peterson said. “We made use of a lost space on the square.”

In his free time, Peterson enjoys spending time with his family. While helping his daughter, Emily, on her 4-H cake decorating project Peterson discovered a new hobby that utilized his skill background.

“It’s a hobby that I could get paid for and do with my daughter,” he said. “I’m a Wilton Cake decorating teacher at the new Hobby Lobby in Noblesville.”

Best new construction/renovationNoblesville Schools Educational Services Center

As Noblesville Schools’ enrollment has grown over the years, so has its central office staff and the need for more space. A temporary fix was adding portable classrooms behind and adjacent to the building for board meetings and adminis-trative offices.

In July, the new two-story central office was opened at 18025 River Road. Supt. Libbie Con-ner said it was 12 months from design to move in, “which is a really rigorous timeline.” Conner described the building as “an empty shell” which only had an elevator in the center and two rest-rooms in it.

“The rest was wide open. There were holes in

the floor,” she said. “We got an incredible deal on that building. We’re able to pay for it on contract over 10 years and the money we saved went into remodeling and the renovation.”

The new building is approximately 40,000 square feet and Conner said 30,000 square feet were renovated.

“That was what our budget would allow, but that’s great because we have room for expan-sion and we have room for storage we just didn’t have before.”

The building also has a larger space for monthly school board meetings. When it is open it can fit 250 people, but the room also has the ability to transform into three individual training rooms.

Best small business T&T Sales and Promotions, Inc.

T&T Promotions is a screen printing, embroi-dery and promotional company which has been open since 2001.

“There are over 100,000 items out there you can put your logo on,” co-owner Laurie Dyer said.

Dyer owns the company with her brother, Scott Fihma.

“So many people tell you not to go into business with family and I’m sure it’s true on most parts but I really enjoy working with Scott and I think he’d say the same thing about me,” Dyer said. “I can count on two hands the number of times we had a fight so in 15 years I think it’s pretty good. He’s a complete jokester

and so a lot of times we’re just laughing.Dyer said the company name is “silly, very silly.”“T&T is a secret nickname that we thought

of – actually I didn’t think of it,” she said. “All my life my brother has given nicknames to everybody and I’ve always had a nickname. He gives himself a nick-name. If you walk through the door he’ll probably give you a nickname too.”

The company is working on a tool where patrons can customize their own T-shirt design online and send it to the

company for a quote. For more information, call 774-7106 or visit www.tntsalespromo.com.

one political affiliation, religious order or division of race. There are those who might allege that we in current times are more inclined to deceit. They point to infidelity, situational ethics and a general reordering of traditional measures of virtue. Perhaps. Yet, I cling to the idea that we all have the capacity given us by free will. We each can choose to use our abilities to be clear, hon-est and direct in our interactions with others. Or, we can choose not.

A friend reminded me recently of the parable of a young George Washington being asked by his father if he’d cut down the cherry tree.

Commentary by Terry Anker

Writers like words. A clever turn of phrase is a thing of beauty. It can make us see the world in a new way. It can make us smile. It can deliver the poignant so that it penetrates our defenses and helps us rise to a greater level of under-standing. We greatly admire the masters of our language – the great communicators.

But as Stan Lee, father of DC Comics’ iconic hero Spiderman, wrote in “Amazing Fantasy” in 1962, “with great power there must also come great responsibility.”

Those gifted with the authority to sway oth-ers with their words must be ever vigilant to use the power only for good. In a time where political and other leaders run fast and loose with the truth, they justify all manner of prevarication obsessed with some narcissistic knowledge that, because they know best, the ends justify the means. But, can we ever really rationalize lying to get what we want? It is not a new phe-nomenon, to be sure. And it is not restricted to

Some have transpired, and others are to come. All in all, it’s hats-off time to all the area show choirs, choral groups and their affiliates at local high schools. Their holiday shows are packed with high-caliber entertainment and the kind of vibes we all need to get beyond the guns-and-butter news of the day. When you attend, and we urge you to do so, keep in mind these kids and their teachers also work full time at instruction and learning. This so-called and extracurricular activity is anything but that. They work their tails off – some starting as early as late summer – to make sure the kickoffs to the holidays are jolly days. It’s affordable entertainment delivered with high levels of enthusiasm. We hope you’re able to show the actors, vocalists, musicians, directors and stagehands the same in return. (Check your high school’s website for perfor-mance dates and times.)

will: Current Publishing recently topped a value of $1 million in total sponsorships since its Oct. 24, 2006, launch. We’re proud of that, and we’re suckers for not-for-profit causes. Actu-ally, we can’t remember ever saying “no.” If your NFP wishes to have Current sponsor its event, we have a system in place.

Ice will be taking on a different form this holiday season downtown as Noblesville Main Street introduces its inaugural “Holiday Ice Sculpture on the Square” for the final First Friday event of the year.

Christmas on the Square, 5 to 8 p.m. Dec. 6, is the type of evening that Norman Rockwell dreamed of. The event, sponsored by BMO Har-ris Bank-Stony Creek, will showcase 15 three-foot sculptures in various holiday themes displayed around the Courthouse Square.

NMS Executive Director Renee Oldham said the organization is creating some additional holiday features this year. Those activities include The TJ Maxx “Holiday Hot Spot” and the BMO Holiday Cookie Jar, along with a live ice carving demonstration by Indiana Ice Studio at 6 p.m. on the Courthouse Square.

The familiar traditions include stopping by Santa’s House and strolling downtown Nobles-ville to visit our unique shops and restaurants. NMS will be handing out free cups of cocoa to keep hands and mouths warm while standing in line for Santa. The weather may be cold, but the scene of downtown’s sparkling lights, Christmas music and smiling faces will warm your heart. I’ve been to many of the December First Fridays and had chestnuts roasted by Lions Club members, seen the horse-drawn carriages circle the square and heard the Vic-torian carolers at street intersections. If you haven’t been, you should give it a try – just don’t lick the ice.

•••Speaking of Santa Claus, Dec. 6 marks only

his second time visiting his temporary Nobles-ville home so eager children still have plenty of time to get their pictures taken after telling him all the gifts they wish to see under the tree.

Santa also is available 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and 22; 4 to 7 p.m. Dec. 19 and 20; and noon to 3 p.m. Dec. 24. Families may bring their camera and take photos free of charge. In case you didn’t know, Santa’s House is across from the Visitor’s Center in downtown Noblesville.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

As a high school teacher, I deal with all types of parents. Honestly, most are terrific. They

respect what I am trying to do for their son or daughter and trust me as a professional to make the right

decisions in the classroom. If and when an issue arises, they encour-

age their teenager to take the lead in resolving matters and only get involved when absolutely necessary.

I like to think that Doo and I fall into this cat-egory, but sometimes I’m not so sure. What if we are actually [insert whisper] helicopter parents?

Never heard of a helicopter parent? Well, trust me, you’ve probably met one. These are the men and women who hover incessantly over their children. They never allow little Suzy to fail at anything, or fight her own fight. They refuse to let their precious angel out of their sight for fear something might happen that they cannot con-trol. And God forbid their Tommy gets an F.

Admittedly, my first instinct when one of my own kids scores poorly on a test or does not make a school sports team, is to blame the teacher or coach. (I occasionally dwell in La La Land with Tom Brady and my four perfectly-per-fect offspring. We live off old money in Tuscany and vacation in Davos.) I revert to Mama Bear mode and want to defend my child at all costs.

Am I a helicopter parent?Luckily, the teacher in me and my real spouse

quickly step up. They remind me that 99 times out of 100, my child didn’t complete his home-work, forgot to study or took a nap during class. His teacher had absolutely no role in the failure. I am forced to accept that my child has made a poor decision, and therefore must handle the repercussions.

But watching them fail and take responsibility for their actions is really hard for me. After all, what parent enjoys seeing his or her children struggle? But Doo and I are determined to avoid a “Failure to Launch” movie scenario. We believe strongly that they should be the ones communi-cating with their teachers, advocating for help, and charting their own course to success. We’re here to redirect when they wander off, but we’re not going to stop that initial step off the path.

So maybe I’m not actually a helicopter parent. I certainly have that instinct to perform frequent fly-overs and keep a constant watch on them, but, honestly, I’m too selfish to spend my days micromanaging the ups and downs of our kids’ lives. I’d rather be daydreaming about Tom and the Swiss chalet. Peace out.

Editor,My name is Mallory, and I am a 21-year-old

social work student, so one can see how I am surrounded by many “Liar in Chief” fans. I loved your article because it shows the other side to this whole tax the wealthy movement.

Obama has made it seem that wealthy people have no right to their money, yet they are often the ones making huge advances in our world. Philanthropy in the private sector has a huge

impact on our world, and those people aren’t forced. Let’s not be socialists.

Also, I am disgusted by the “bait and switch tactics” that have been used on the American people. Sadly, Obama and his corrupt posse are never reprimanded for the lies that pour from their mouths. I just never realized how corrupt our government can be and get by with it. Great article.

Bill’s faith was mani-fested in the kindness he showed the patients and staff of Riverview Hospital. Even in his passing, he remained considerate and kind to all those around him.

As a Russian native and student dancer in “Nutcracker” productions in her home coun-

try, Alyona Yakovleva-Randall is a strong proponent of tradition. Tradi-tion is also a teaching tool when it

comes to ballet. So the fourth production of the “Nutcracker” that she has mounted for the Indi-ana Ballet Conservatory has a practical reason for not changing much, except to take into ac-count shifting abilities and skills in each year’s large, primarily student cast.

“I try to keep the tradition going and may make a little adjustment, because every year I’m dealing with the changing potential of the students and the talent,” she said.

She explained that this year’s production uses 150 students, divided into two casts over six performances. With so many involved, Yakov-leva-Randall wants to enlist older students in passing on “Nutcracker” tradition.

“I want my students to memorize it and give it to students later,” she said. “I hope when they have their own schools they will treat their stu-dents the same.”

It’s inevitable that ballet schools of the future will also be mounting the “Nutcracker.” The con-servatory estimates that 750 productions are performed annually in the United States alone. Holiday productions are often what enables a ballet company to balance its books.

Growing up in Russia’s third largest city of Novosibirsk, Yakovleva-Randall was thoroughly embedded in this ballet as a young student.

“It was a mandatory production for all stu-dents,” she recalled, “part of the curriculum during eight years of education at the conser-

vatory. I danced every part, from the smallest mouse through Masha (the girl called “Clara” in many productions) and the Arabian Dance and the Sugar-Plum Fairy.”

For the second consecutive year, the conser-vatory’s “Nutcracker” uses backdrops from the George Verdak Trust. Verdak was associated with Butler Ballet for many years and modeled props and backdrops in his productions on those used in the original 1892 “Nutcracker,” which premiered the year before Tchaikvsky’s death.

Lasha Khozashvili, a principal dancer with the Boston Ballet, returns for the third time to reprise the role of the Prince.

A conservatory student of distinction, Miko Fogarty, will appear as Masha. In this version she is also transformed into Act II’s Princess and Sugar-Plum Fairy. Fogarty had a major role in the documentary film, “First Position” and

was gold medalist in this year’s Moscow Inter-national Ballet Competition.

Yakovleva-Randall touts the Vainonen version as superior for its depiction of Masha as re-warded with elevation to Princess and a tour of the Land of Sweets because of her compassion and bravery. In Act I she fights off the maraud-ing mice, helping the Nutcracker doll.

“It’s all about miracles that come to Masha because of her kindness and very good heart,” she said. But she allows that audiences can also take it as a pleasant Christmas dream, too, if they prefer.

The Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre announces its most ambitious production to date, “Les Mi-

sérables.” Closing out Civic’s 99th season, The Tony Award and Oscar winning musical by Alain

Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg will open April 25 and run through May 10 at the Booth Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Perform-ing Arts in Carmel.

“We are thrilled to present a large-scale production of one of modern time’s greatest achievements in musical theatre,” said Civic Ar-tistic Director Robert Sorbera.

Based on Victor Hugo’s famed novel, “Les Mi-sérables” follows French peasant Jean Valjean’s path to redemption after serving time in jail for stealing a loaf of bread. After breaking parole, Valjean is hunted persistently by Inspector Javert through the streets of revolutionary France. The story is told entirely in song, featuring memo-rable numbers like “I Dreamed a Dream,” “One Day More,” and “On My Own.”

“The scale of drama in this show is truly epic as it follows the path from evil to good, from be-ing lost to being found,” Sorbera said.

In Civic’s fully-staged production, audiences will experience all the excitement of a Broadway show complete with elaborate sets, detailed costumes, and a full orchestra. Resident de-signer Ryan Koharchik will transform the state-of-the-art Tarkington theatre into 19th-century France, intimately taking the audience through the celebrated story of love, compassion and social injustice.

“We’re looking forward to using the full depth of the Tarkington stage, bringing scenes out of the darkness. I think it will be our most exciting production yet,” Sorbera said.

“Les Misérables” • 7 p.m. Wednesdays, Thurs-days, Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays; and 5 p.m. May 10 • Tarkington Theater • Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. • Tickets are $46.50 for adults and $36.50 for youth. • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.CivicTheatre.org.

Christmas Shopping 101 for the Tailgater

Joe Drozda is an author about sports and food. You may contact him at [email protected] or visit www.tailgatershandbook.com.

Commentary by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley

Now is the perfect time to think about Christ-mas gifts for the tailgater. The pre-Christmas sales are in full swing and tailgating gear - a lot of which is camping gear - is out of season and marked down in price for clearance. With plenty of opportunities for good buys, make sure you put some thought into your gift choices.

The important thing to remember is that buy-ing tailgating gear for a loved one is like buying a tie - they usually will not like your choice.

To minimize that risk, why not have them indi-cate what they would like?

Go online to www.tailgatershandbook.com and check our Christmas gift suggestions. Ask them to pick out items they want and then you can buy online or look for these things in local stores. Next week we’ll highlight some specific products. Here’s a general-category starter list to get the discussion going:

• Coolers• Tailgating flags and poles• Folding tables and chairs• Grills or portable stoves• Tents or canopies and weights to hold them

down in the windFor that big shopping day you can start things

out right with these Cinnamon Bars and a good cup of coffee.

Cinnamon BarsIngredients: 2 cups flour, 1 cup buttermilk, 1

1/4 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 cup soft margarine,

1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 3 Tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 stick butter

Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, granulated and brown sugars, and margarine. Using low heat, mix until crumbly. Press two cups of this mixture into an ungreased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. To the remaining mixture, add soda, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, buttermilk and egg. Mix well and pour over packed portion. Bake 20 minutes and then cool for at least 30 minutes. For frosting, mix butter, milk, powdered sugar and almond extract. Apply evenly.

The 1940’s-style ensemble, Five By Design, will perform two Christmas shows on Dec. 14 at the

The group is comprised of two brothers, a husband and wife and a childhood friend, and they’ve been singing together since 1986. They have toured the United States, Cana-da and countries abroad with hundreds of sym-phony orchestras, including an east coast tour with the Boston Pops for Christmas 2012 .

They also have created theatrical productions such as “Radio Days,” “Club Swing” and “Stay Tuned,” in which they present the music of big-band-era legends such as Glenn Miller, Tommy

Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie.

“We are honored to perform on a stage on which Michael Feinstein has performed,” said the group’s spokesperson, Alton Accola. “We are also passionate advocates of the Great Ameri-can Songbook, and we are delighted to come to Carmel and perform at the Palladium, where the work of the Songbook is being preserved.”

Five By Design has worked with CSO Conduc-tor David Bowden many times over the last 10 years, and they are excited to rekindle the part-nership. They will arrive in Carmel several days in advance to rehearse with the symphony.

PICOSECOND LASERFOR THE SAFEST, FASTEST

& MOST EFFECTIVEREMOVAL OF TATTOOS.

Commentary by Larissa Day Walz, MD

If eating healthy is on your “to-do” list this holiday season, take heart. With planning and

helpful nutritional information, there are easy ways to eat healthier during the holidays

– and still enjoy some of your favorite seasonal foods. In fact, knowing just a few good food substitutes can help trim calories from holiday meals without compromising flavor, and boost nutritional value. Here are some examples:

• Instead of using oil in baked goods, choose non-fat yogurt or applesauce.

• Fat-free chicken broth and yogurt can be used in place of cream in dips, mashed potatoes and casseroles. Substitute light cream cheese and low-fat milk in recipes.

• Skip the eggnog, which is loaded with fat and calories. Sparkling water and low-calo-rie punch are two festive alternatives.

• Consider roasting sweet potatoes instead of serving a traditional sweet potato casse-role. Adding a spray of butter and sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on top make roasted sweet potatoes a delicious holiday treat.

• Grilling and roasting meat, seafood and vegetables are simple, flavorful ways to prepare foods and help cut down on the need for heavy sauces and creams.

• Traditional appetizers often contain lots

of fat and calories. For lighter, healthier options, try whole wheat crackers with reduced-fat cheese, shrimp cocktail, hum-mus or black-bean dip with raw vegetables, and fruit skewers.

• Simply prepared vegetables and fruits make great side dishes for holiday meals and are healthy substitutes for dishes with gravy or cream sauces.

• Pumpkin pie is a more healthy choice if you’re serving pie for dessert. Make it with non-fat evaporated milk and top with fat-free whipped topping to reduce calories.

• For a different take on holiday desserts, serve chocolate-covered strawberries.

It can be a challenge to maintain healthy habits during the holiday season. Balance indul-gence at family gatherings and holiday parties by attempting to eat healthy the remainder of the time. Make sure your regular weekly meals include plenty of fruits and vegetables and stock up on healthy snacks. In addition to making wise nutritional choices, remember to stay active and work some exercise into your busy holiday schedule.

INSUrANCE

Jamie Ianigro is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance questionyou need answered? Send it to [email protected].

Commentary by Jamie Ianigro

Question from Jennifer L. from Carmel: My mom and dad head to Florida after Christmas, and their house sits empty until spring when

they come back. Is their house OK insurance-wise or could we have a problem?

Response from Jamie Ianigro: Congratulations to them, and I hope you get a chance to go visit and escape the Indiana winter. A couple of fac-tors come in play when we talk about unoccupied homes and insurance.

Notice I didn’t say va-cant homes.

Let’s start with the difference between vacant and unoccupied. Figuring out the difference be-tween a vacant home and an unoccupied home is as easy as walking in the front door.

Unoccupied homes might be a little chilly or a little warm, but people are obviously still living there. It will look like someone could have just left or might be home shortly. A vacant home is going to be pretty much empty and it will be obvious that people are not living there. The fridge will be empty, most of the furniture will be gone, etc.

Insurance carriers will not insure an unoccu-pied home and a vacant home at the same price

Snow birds need to adjust insuranceor coverage levels. A vacant dwelling requires a special policy and is much more costly than a common homeowners’ policy. Your independent insurance agent can help you find a vacant home policy or elaborate further if you think your home might be vacant.

Each insurance carrier is different, but you can start to lose coverages if your home is unoc-

cupied for a certain period of time. The big two that usually drop off would be coverage for vandalism and coverage for losses caused by a plumbing failure like freezing pipes. These claims can both be costly, so it is very im-portant to know and un-

derstand your policy provisions if you’re a snow bird. Coming back from a winter vacation to a ruined house can be made a lot worse by finding out your insurance carrier is denying all or major parts of your claim.

The important takeaway here is to make sure you understand your insurance policy before you fly south for the winter.

Figuring out the difference between a vacant home and an unoccupied home is as easy as

walking in the front door.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

“Bipolar” is not a noun.I begin my column this week because this

drives me crazy and I wanted to make a defini-tive statement about it. Lately I hear people use this word incorrectly all

the time – and not just lay people, but people who are ostensibly medi-cal professionals.

(Let me take a moment here to say that whatever shorthand medical profes-sionals choose to use amongst themselves or in a clinical setting is perfectly alright with me. We’re talking here about the world outside the hospital walls.)

I see this in documentaries a lot: The narrator will be describing a patient, everything will be going swimmingly, and then that horrible phrase: “He has bipolar.” Not, “he is bipolar,” but, “he has bipolar.” Bipolar what? Is this a cellular service provider I’m not aware of?

“Bipolar” is an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns. Adjectives are not nouns. You would not say a person “has fancy.” You wouldn’t say a person “has acute.” You would say they have a fancy watch, or they have acute tonsillitis. These words are meant to modify nouns – not to stand on their own.

In the case of a word like “bipolar” in a health

On adjectives mistaken for nounscontext, this misuse is especially troubling because it is intended to serve as a compound noun: “bipolar disorder.” Here we have enough information: a disorder characterized by alternat-ing episodes of mania and depression.

I will concede that some adjectives have gained acceptance to be idiomatically used as nouns: “the rich and the famous,” “the young and the restless,” etc. Merriam-Webster editor-at-

large Peter Sokolowski wrote an informative piece on the very subject, concluding that while specific adjectives may

be used as nouns in these cases – with many or most understood to refer to classes of people – they are still not defined as nouns. They are simply adjectives used poetically, if you will.

Words like “bipolar” don’t have the idiomatic currency to stand as nouns, and using them as such is awkward and grating to the ear – not to mention incorrect. To me, saying “bipolar” when you mean “bipolar disorder” is like bringing ice to a party when you were supposed to bring “ice cream.” It’s not right, and everyone is going to be disappointed in you.

Commentary by Don Knebel

On Dec. 7, Americans will remember the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, that brought war to the United States. By then, England

had been suffering major attacks for more than a year. The cour-age of English citizens during

the horrors of World War II is on display in the Churchill War Rooms in Westminster, now open to the public.

In August 1939, days before the German invasion of Poland, the English government opened a command center beneath a new pub-lic office building now housing the treasury. The underground complex included a Cabinet room, a map room, bedrooms for staff, rooms for clerks and a room for secure communica-tions with international leaders. In October 1940, after the onset of the German bombing of London, a five feet-thick ceiling was added to make the facility secure against aerial attack and the Cabinet began meeting underground. The complex also included a bedroom, outfitted with communications gear, for Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Although Churchill gave four wartime speeches from the bedroom, he rarely slept there, preferring to spend his evenings with his wife Clementine at 10 Downing Street.

After the surrender of Japan in 1945, the command center was abandoned. It was opened to the public in 1984, the rooms pre-

English wartime resolve on display

TrAvEl

sented as they were at war’s end. Papers still lie on the Cabinet room tables and colored pins pierce a large map, showing the front lines of opposing armies. One wall chart includes an obscene hand-drawn picture of Hitler. Another chart shows the effect of the V-1 attacks that began after the Allied invasion of Normandy. With numbers carefully written by hand, the chart records almost 3,000 “flying bombs” crossing the English coastline between June 16 and July 20, 1944, killing 3,802 civilians and seriously injuring another 10,936, more than American losses at Pearl Harbor.

A museum was added to the War Rooms in 2005, displaying a bust of Churchill, look-ing very much the bulldog. The gift shop sells items bearing the iconic wartime slogan “Keep Calm and Carry On.” The Churchill War Rooms provide lessons in English resolve that can find application anytime and anywhere.

Commentary by David Decker

Durable, water resistant and available in a wide array of designs: tile has remained one of

the most popular flooring choic-es on the market. Upgrading your tile flooring is a high-impact way

to refresh the look of your kitchen or bathroom. Best of all, tile installation is relatively easy, and can be done quickly if the right steps are taken.

Tile comes in a wide variety of materials, but the two most popular options are ceramic and porcelain. While they are marketed as being very different materials, porcelain and ceramic are actually manufactured in a similar way. Both are made from a clay-based material that is fired in a kiln, but porcelain tile is more refined, leading to a denser, harder material. This density gives porcelain tile an edge over ceramic when it comes to water absorption rates. It also makes the tiles a bit more expensive than their ceramic counterparts. Porcelain tile absorbs less water, which means it is less likely to expand, contract and crack during periods of freezing and thawing if you are using the tile outside. If you live in a colder climate, you may want to select porcelain over ceramic, simply because it is more durable.

Although porcelain and ceramic are two of the most popular options, they are far from the only tile materials on the market. Stone, quarry, glass and metal tiles are materials that you may want to research and consider depending on the size and scope of your project. Each type of material brings a slightly different look and maintenance procedure, so research carefully.

Material isn’t the only property of tile that you’ll want to be aware of. The following char-acteristics are also important to keep in mind when planning a new tile design:

Size: Tile come in a huge variety of sizes, so don’t feel confined to the old 4-by-4-inch or 6-by-6-inch standard tile sizes. Select larger tiles if you you’d like to make a space look bigger. Or if you’d like to generate a more intricate design, small mosaic tiles may be perfect for your kitch-en or bathroom.

Shape: Square has always been the standard shape for tile. These days, many designers are switching it up and creating tiles that are rect-

The style of tile flooring

angular, circular or other innovative shapes.Texture and Color: The combination of these

elements plays a big role in the overall look of the tile. Keep them top of mind when making your decision.

Direction: Changing the orientation of your tile can radically change the entire look of the design. Try vertical or diagonal patterns for a modern style.

Selecting tile can seem overwhelming at first, given all of the design considerations and styles that are available on the market. If you need resources, feel free to visit The Affordable Com-panies website for ideas and information to help you plan your remodeling project.

“Posting our job opening in Current was a tremendous success. Within hours of the issue being distributed, we had numerous inquiries from very qualified individuals. We signed up to have our ad run for two weeks, but was able to settle for one since we found the perfect person to fill our position so quickly. You can't beat Current when trying to reach out to the local public, and we will definitely use its services again."
