Long-time Fishers resident and Fishers Police Chief George Kehl recently announced his plans to
run for Hamilton Co. Council after he retires. Kehl has been chief for the
last 38 years. He plans to retire on Sept. 30, 2016. Kehl has been contemplating his future plans for months.
“I’ve been thinking about my retirement for many months. Even before I talked to the mayor about it,” said Kehl. “I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do. You know, I love working in government. I’ve been do-ing it for 40 years. I think I have a good knowledge of how it works. I have a very good track record
with what we’ve done here in Fishers. I got to thinking about it and I’ve always been interested in serving on some type of government board. I got with the county council and it really appeals to me.”
The HCC is the financial power of the county and serves a check of the Board of Coun-ty Commissioners.
“They don’t have the day-to-day opera-tions that the commissioners do, but they do have a lot of responsibility especially in the fiscal area. That kind of excites me. I think Fishers at this time with our popula-tion and growth needs more representa-tion in the county government.”
He believes many of the Ham. Co. governmental agencies should be working together for the ben-
efit of residents. “There are so many programs we can do togeth-
er to save the taxpayers money,” he said. “We’ve done that with the new communications center, the new software packages we’re purchasing now and the new radio system that was just imple-mented this year. Those were combined efforts with the county and governmental units.”
Kehl was born and raised in Fishers but will have to focus his campaign efforts to the rest of Hamilton Co. He will be attending county functions and introducing himself to other members of the community. This will allow him an opportunity to discuss what he has to offer.
“I think I have a lot to offer not only to Fishers but the county as a whole,” said Kehl.

Flat Fork Creek Opening Fishers DPW prepares salt supply for winter
By James Feichtner [email protected]
Winter solstice is just around the corner potentially bringing with it inclement weather. This might have Fishers residents
wondering how prepared their city is. Fishers DPW Director Eric Pethtel said that being prepared could never
be over emphasized. Aside from an arsenal of snowplows and determined DPW employees, Pethtel said another resource important for winter weather maintenance is salt. In the brutal
winter of 2013 to 2014, a lack of salt left many cities emptying their reserves. Fortunately, the Fishers DPW has recently expanded its salt reserves by building a new barn to house their salt supply.
“When you consider our old barn would only hold 400 to 450 tons it is critical for safety of the traveling public to make sure you have as much salt on hand as possible,” Pethtel said. “When you reflect upon the win-
ter of 2013-14, that winter was so bad that all of the suppliers had emptied their reserves. With our new facility we are able to hold nearly 3000 tons.”
Throughout the other three seasons, the DPW may seem to stay behind the scenes in keeping the city well maintained, but Pethtel said winter is when his department really excels com-pared to surrounding municipalities.
“We feel the winter season is when our department takes center stage and shines for the community,” Pethtel said. “We are reminded by our peers in the public works industry and by our citizens many times each year how our level of service compares to other surrounding communities. I can promise you that is not by accident. It is because we work at it year round.”

This month’s Market District Teacher of the Month award goes to St. Simon fifth grade teacher Melissa
Smith. Smith was nominated by Lucy Taylor, 11, a fourth-grade student.
Lucy’s essay:I think Miss Smith should be Teacher
of the Month because she is helpful, funny, and very kind to others. Miss Smith is the 5th Grade Social Studies teacher at Saint Simon the Apostle Cath-olic School. So far Miss Smith has taught me about the Midwest and Northeast regions. Right now we are learning about the Native American tribes that first came to America. Since I wear hearing aids Miss Smith makes sure to wear the microphone provided as well as talking extra loud just for me. That is why Miss Smith is Teacher of the Month!

The American Society of Military Comptrol-lers hosted its second annual breakfast for
the troops at the National Guard Armory located in Lawrence at Fort Benjamin Harrison Dec. 4.
In attendance were soldiers and airmen sta-tioned at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Marines from recruiting command, Navy personnel from the Navy Reserves and National Guard members from the Lawrence armory.
“This year will be my second year doing (the breakfast),” Event organizer and ASMC Military Committee Chairman Capt. Jason Reyes said. “It’s a Christmas breakfast, and it’s for troops in the Lawrence or the Fort Ben area. I invite them to come out, and we have sponsors that provide food and material, and then I have a budget that I pool money into to pay for some of the food. They have people that volunteer in the kitchen.”
Reyes said the breakfast is a great oppor-tunity to give back to local men and women who are serving or have served in the military.
"The plan for the event was to give back to the local military who serve in Lawrence, but also for them to network as many of the forces stationed here do not collaborate often, or even know that each organization exists,” Reyes said. “This is an opportunity to meet each other. This has become a great annual

Special guests Blue from the Indianapolis Colts and Boomer from the Indiana Pacers entertained the troops by partaking in musical chairs and performing stunts and giving away prizes. The breakfast had more than 100 par-ticipants, not including volunteer kitchen and the setup staff.

BOYD’SJOURNEY

Flying isn’t for everyone. With it brings high airline ticket prices and requires additional means of transportation upon reaching your destination. For Geist resident Boyd
Lofton, he prefers doing his traveling in a recreation vehicle and, he and his wife, Diane, bought their first RV in
1975. Today, Lofton, 75, still continues taking his RV on road trips to visit family in his newest RV.
“My grandkids go (and are located) from California to Maine and everywhere in between, so I just traveled around with the new (RV) to visit the grandkids rather than flying and renting a car and all that junk,” Lofton said. “They live in California, Colorado, New Hampshire and Maine, so they’re spread out, so I go visit them and spend a month in each place and come back.”
Owning five RVs since ’75, Lofton has spent countless days on the road. One of his RVs clocked approximately 380,000 miles on it. Probably his most extensive trip was with Diane when the two set off to tour the entire nation.
“My wife and I hit the road back in 2000 after I sold a manufacturing company I owned, and we sold our family home,” Lofton said. “We hit the road full time RVing; bought a motorhome and toured the U.S. and Canada for seven years. We went to every province, every territory, every state in the union except Hawaii and the territories, Puerto Rico and Guam.”
After Diane passed away in 2007, Lofton sold his mo-
Number of RVs owned: FiveFirst RV: Owned from 1975 to 1990Most mileage on RV: Approximately 380,000 milesMileage on current RV: Approximately 130,000 milesFavorite place visited: “They’re all unique. If I had three favor-ite cities that I liked it would be New York (City), New Orleans and Frisco (Texas) because they all have unique cultures.”Driving style: “I get in the travel lane. I very seldom get in the passing lane. If the speed limit is 55 mph, I do 54 mph. If the speed limit is 70 mph, I do 55 mph and people can go around me. I just take it slow.”Navigation method: “I program my GPS to avoid toll booths, to avoid freeways. I travel back roads as much as I can.”

torhome for a smaller RV.“I couldn’t stand to live in that motorhome anymore, so I
got rid of it and bought a new one. I got a class C instead of a class A,” Lofton said.
His most recent trips were split into two sections to visit his family, a 6,300-mile trip out west and a 2,800-mile trip out east. Lofton took with him his close friend, Lorraine.
“This last year, I took Lorraine on a six-week motorhome trip,” Lofton said. “Turns out she didn’t really care for it; traveling that length of time. We went to see the Amana colonies up in Iowa, Mount Rushmore, Devil’s Tower. (Lor-raine) has a friend in Roundup, Mont., and we visited her; down through Yellowstone and the (Grand) Tetons; Salt Lake City. I went to see a friend in Vegas and a sister in Glendale, Ariz. Then the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley in Utah and then headed to Canyon City in Colorado to see my five grandkids and my daughter and son-in-law. Then we headed back here.”
After returning to Indianapolis from his western trip, Lof-ton went out on his own to the east heading over the St. Lawrence River then north of Lake Champlain and through Detroit and Windsor eventually making his way to New Hampshire to visit his two granddaughters and grandson, then to Maine to see his other five grandkids.
Lofton said what he likes most about his journeys are the people he meets along the way.
“We found that it was such an enjoyable lifestyle. The genuine, nice people that you run into, not only helpful but considerate and friendly and welcoming at these RV parks.
It’s seeing new places, but the people you meet,” Lofton said. “That’s what really turns me on.”
For next year, Lofton plans to do his east and west trips again with Lorraine, but plans to make several short trips.
“What we are going to attempt to do is instead of mak-ing two long trips, we’re going to make six short trips,” Lofton said. “So we’ll shoot out to Colorado and then come back, then go out to California and come back, then we turn our attention to the east to New Hampshire and Maine and then we’ll come back and then go out to Maryland and Virginia and probably come back, then go back to North Carolina and Tennessee, and that will probably be it.”
Lofton said he will continue to travel each year “as long as my health continues.”

Commentary by Terry Anker
“Nine out of Ten Dentists Agree” shouts at us from the packaging on one box from the wall of toothpaste choices. If all of these folks agree that this is the VERY best prod-uct, why are there so many choices that are lesser? And, if someone asserts that “rea-sonable people agree” does that mean that if we don’t that we must be the lone one who is unreasonable? The rhetoric of inclu-sion (or perhaps better said – exclusion) is a highly powerful sales tool. And, it serves well to oppress dissenting points of view.
Which clothes have we upon our backs? Which lunch table is where we consume our daily calories? Which means of con-veyance gets us back and forth to which occupation? All of these are being judged by someone. OK, humans categorize other humans. But what is it in us that urges criticism of those who make choices, benign to us, that are different from our own? When hours of Thanksgiving tele-vised football with my sons was derailed
by Brighthouse, we found ourselves with a big screen, plenty of snacks and no sports. While killing time for the promised return of the games, we wondered upon the 2004 hit movie “Mean Girls.” Therein a nice girl is ostracized because she challenged the prevailing hierarchy. When she resisted, it got nasty. How dare she think on her own!
In our boredom, I guess, it spawned a conversation about peer pressure – es-pecially of the negative kind – and about our unwillingness to stand up when we believe the assertions of “reasonableness” is grossly overstated! Do nine of 10 den-tists agree that we should buy Brand X? Probably not. Yet, a publically asserted and undefended falsehood often becomes the perceived truth. Is it factual? No. Does it matter? Not unless we say so.

How are your holidays going? Have you lowered your expectations like I advised last
week? Additionally, might I suggest a few additional guide-lines for surviving the last two
weeks of 2015? 1. Start pounding the Vitamin C now!
Evil germs are out to get us all, and they can only be avoided with copious amounts of citric acid and booze. Mi-mosas work well!
2. Provide your spouse with an itemized gift list. Indicate exactly what you want and include a “Please do not buy” sec-tion. Trust me on this one, he/she needs to be Waterford clear on the what con-stitutes the perfect gift card (Target), sweatshirt (Louisville basketball, ladies small, anything black), appliance (Room-ba 650 … at Target), and pair of boots (Aerosoles, tan With Pride, size 9.5).
3. Avoid the Castleton/Keystone crazy and just shop online. (I’m even thinking of switching grocery stores because I heard Kroger offers an online ordering/curbside pickup option.) Target.com, Cardinalswear.com, Zappos.com … Doo? Are you getting this?
4. Less is more when it comes to holiday decorations. If even one house in your neighborhood is rubber-neck worthy, your measly mailbox bow doesn’t stand a chance anyway.
5. Don’t be afraid to lie about prior com-mitments or “sick” kids. Company party got you anxious? Bow out with a doggy doo-doo accident or a forgotten bas-soon concert. (That actually happened, Steve and Brian. Seriously!)
6. New Year’s does not have to be cel-ebrated at twelve-oh-oh. Nine o’clock is midnight somewhere, and with the appropriately coordinated enthusiasm, you can partake in the festivities and be asleep by 10. That may be the in-trovert in me talking, but one should never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep, especially when beginning a whole new year!
You only have to last another 16 days. You can do it! Remember to keep your expecta-tions as far from Norman Rockwell as pos-sible and follow the aforementioned rules. Peace out!

We’re suckers for all things art, be it per-formance, visual, literary or other forms. So when local arts organization Partnerships for Lawrence announced the Fort Benjamin Harrison Theater is reopened as The The-atre at the Fort, we exchanged a high-five and talked about how enriching the arts are to a community. We know the arts are important to you, because our independent market research bore that out in advance of launching this newspaper. The theater was built in 1929 to entertain troops at the fort. It later became a public movie theater and venue for stage productions. It closed in the 1980s and has finally reopened thanks to the efforts of Partnerships for Lawrence, a not-for-profit group. The curtain went up at 8920 Otis Ave. on Dec. 4 with the first of six performances of It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play. The next event is Dec. 18, The Nutcracker, performed by Indy Axis Dancers, but we’re all too late, as the show is a sellout. To learn more, please visit law-renceartscenter.net.

The gift of Christmas
Dick Wolfsie is an author, colum-nist and speaker. Contact him at [email protected].
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
As I look back on my years writing about the holidays in this column, I am reminded
of some funny moments that have become part of the Wolfsie family lore.
When I grew up, you never told anyone in the family what you were getting them for Christmas. Surprising them was the best part. Of course, you could guess what you were getting, but in my house you had to be very careful.
“Is it a train set, Mom?”“No, Dickie.”“Is it a set of Lincoln Logs?”“No, it’s not.”“Is it a Robbie the Robot?”“OK, thanks for totally ruining Christmas for
me.”My wife, on the other hand, believes in telling
me what she wants. A few years ago, I ordered a gift online for her, but when it finally landed on our doorstep in late December, I had no rec-ollection of what might be in the huge box.
“I remember,” said Mary Ellen. “That’s what I asked you to get me for Christmas.”
“What is it?”“Do you really want me to tell you? I
thought you liked surprises.”“Surprises? It’s for you. You can
tell me. You already know what it is.”“I thought somebody should be surprised.”When I buy Mary Ellen something, I usu-
ally miss the mark. She once made me take back, two weeks before Christmas, a Keurig coffee maker that was under the tree, wrapped. She knew what it was – and she didn’t want it. The clerk told me I was the first husband to return a gift before Christmas … still wrapped. That year she was on a mon-ey-saving kick, so instead of buying me the three books I wanted, she checked them out of the library. Three weeks later, I returned them. I guess I showed her.
Overall, I don’t have a gift-giving knack. Pri-or to our 25th anniversary, Mary Ellen began humming “I Love Paris in the Springtime.” I as-sumed she was dropping a hint, so I got her the sheet music. I thought she would get a kick out of knowing the lyrics.

Ind. 37 has come a long way in becoming a thriving corridor for business growth and very
few businesses have witnessed its growth like
Don Hinds Ford. Opening in 1955, this year marks its 60th anniversary. When they decided to relocate to the cur-rent location at 126th Street and SR 37, the area around them was practically deserted.
“It was just about the first anything,” Don Hinds Ford Owner Bud Colglazier said. “When we bought this property in 1988, the only thing down here (on Ind. 37) was Reynold’s John Deer. There were no stoplights, there were no flashers and the only stoplight was at (Highway) 238 and Ind. 37 in Noblesville.”
As part of an agreement to relocate, Don Hinds actually had to help develop 126th Street.
“We actually rebuilt 126th Street as part of our agreement for impact fees. It was a little county road. It’s that size today because we build it that
way in ‘88 and ‘89,” Colglazier said.Colgalzier, whose step-father was Don Hinds,
said when they originally relocated to the 16-acre property, it was a Noblesville address, but
Fishers’ rapid growth soon annexed the property.
“We really didn’t think we were leav-ing Noblesville. We thought we were relocating,” Colglazier said. “By the time we got going and ready to build, Fishers had annexed the area, and we became part of Fishers.”
The benefit of Don Hinds being an-nexed into Fishers meant an introduction to a new market while retaining much of its Nobles-ville clientele.
“It was easier to retain our Noblesville clien-tele and enjoy the added benefit of an explod-ing Fishers market,” Colglazier said. “Now our Noblesville and Fishers market are about even. They’re our two largest markets.”
Today, Don Hinds has grown to three cam-puses on 16 acres and increased its staff size from approximately 15 to 130. It is currently the third largest Ford dealer in the state.

Jarden Home Brands and the Nickel Plate Depot, both of Fishers, received Look awards. Winners will present at the luncheon to ac-cept their awards.
Tech stock picks – Investors tend to focus on hot new stocks, sometimes neglecting older, more reliable ones. Year-to-date, old-school tech stocks are averaging returns of 18 percent, more than doubling the NASDAQ Compsite’s 8 percent gains for the same pe-riod. Here are some to consider:
1. Microsoft (MSFT)2. Intel Corp. (INTC)3. Cisco Systems (CSCO)4. Adobe (ADBE)5. Alphabet (GOOGL)

Risky stocks – High-yield dividend stocks are attractive because of the cash payouts. Some, however, are too risky regardless of the yield because of poor financial backing. Here are five to avoid:

“I see great! Do I still need an eye exam?” Alex L., Carmel, IN
Alex, What a great ques-tion! The short answer is an overwhelming “YES!” There are
many things we check in an eye examination and vision is just one.
The most important reason you need your comprehensive eye examination is because most eye diseases have no symptoms until it’s too late. Glaucoma, cataracts, ocular tu-mors, macular degeneration and many more cause no visual symptoms until they are in their advanced stages.
School screenings and primary care doctor screenings do not replace eye examinations either. Most of these diseases cannot be de-tected with a screening. Also, there are other visual issues that are not detected by reading a traditional eye chart. Eye alignment, tracking and focusing disorders are critical for learning and are not detected in screenings.
The recommended comprehensive eye examination schedule is as follows: at birth, between 6 and 12 months of age, then at 3 years old, 5 years old and every year after. Sometimes, depending on what is found in these examinations you may need to be seen more frequently. I have patients who are seen every six months or less, depending on the condition. And many have no visual symptoms with their condition.
I tell patients that we are really good at hav-ing our teeth cleaned every six months. We do this to keep our teeth healthy and to catch prob-lems early for better treatment. I remind patients that it is a lot easier to treat eye disease and disorders when caught early. It’s also good to remember that we can eat with false teeth but we cannot see with a fake eye … right?

Where’s Amy?
Commentary by Sophie Pappas
Rappers call it champs, others call it bubbly, and your grand-mother might refer to it as sparkling wine, but either way you put
it, a good bottle of champagne is a staple not only on New Year’s Eve, but also at any sophisticated holiday party.
Dom Perignon said, “Come quickly. I am tasting the stars!” when he first invented champagne, and while a bottle of Dom might not need anything to accompany it besides a charcuterie and cheese tray, here are some fun ways to spiff up any cheap bottle of champs this holiday season.
• Rosemary and pomegranate – Add fresh pomegranate seeds and a sprig of rosemary to each glass of prosecco or champagne for an herby, yet refreshing, drink.
• Berries – Blueberries, raspberries or cranberries can make a glass of champagne look colorful while also adding little bites of fruity flavor. For Christmas morning, cranberries and orange juice make for a more colorful mimosa.
• Champagne floats – Add a scoop of mango or tangerine sorbet to the bottle or a glass of champagne to make a champagne “float.” Best served at the end of a meal, since the sorbet makes this drink feel like dessert!
• Flavored liqueur or simple syrup – Artisanal simple syrups or add-ins such a ginger liqueur or peach Schnapps can add just a little kick of flavor to an average bottle of sparkling wine.
• Mint – Another option to serve with dessert is a glass of champagne with mint leaves and a splash of bourbon. Pairs well with anything chocolate.

‘Where’s Amy?’ is a photo column by Amy Pauszek, a society girl and film producer and partner with Ever Film Productions, LLC. She may be reached at [email protected].
Where’s Amy? goes country with WynonnaWynonna was ‘sassy, funny and full of fun’ on stage joking around with the audience and her The Big Noise Band members. (Photos by Amy Pauszek for Current Publishing LLC. Copyright 2015. All Rights Reserved.)
“Where’s Amy?” was blown away after attending the Wynonna Judd and The Big Noise Christmas Holiday Show at the Palladium. The five-time Grammy winner and New York Times bestselling author commanded the stage with her powerful vocals and ‘sassy’ attitude. Fans were moved by her beautiful renditions of Christmas classics and her popular hits using her rich voice. Impressed by the Pal-ladium size and acoustics, she mentioned she would love to come back to record a live show. She joked about her relation-ships with her famous mother and sister, sharing with the audience that she finally was able to break free and be herself on tour. Wynonna said she loved using her ‘gift of music’ to share with others during hard times and over the holidays. She had many fans in tears with her final song of the evening, “Silent Night.” Wynonna had captured the audience’s hearts as they joined in singing softly the words of “Silent Night.” It was at that moment that I felt blessed and lucky to have shared this special moment with my parents. No matter the faith, the night closed with the true meaning behind the reason for the season. It’s safe to say Wynonna knows how to rock the stage using her gift of music and love to bring fans together. Bravo.
Wynonna fans Kathy and Mike Buland of Noblesville said they loved the con-cert and thought she had a powerful voice.
Deana Keen and Libby Macomber, of Carmel, enjoyed the concert and thought Wynonna and The Big Noise Band was amazing. They mentioned when she sang “Silent Night” (after her standing ovation) you could hear a pin drop because the audience was so moved by her moving rendition.

Joe Drozda is the author of “The Tailgater’s Handbook” and is considered as the “Father of American Tailgating.” His website is tailgatershandbook.com. He is a resident of Hamilton County.
Ideal tailgater Christmas giftsBy Joe Drozda and Bob Bley
Martha De Lacey, writing for the “Daily Mail” says that men get bored with shopping in 26 minutes, but women can go two hours before it hits them. Now if we believe this, then there has to be a better way to shop for the tailgater on your list then to just go out to the stores looking for things. There is and here is a simple routine to plan for success.
Start at coleman.com to make your wish list. Start at tailgating equipment, but also look at chairs, grills, canopies and coolers and more. Just invest 26 minutes and you’ll have a list of items that you could see at your tail-gate next year.
Enter one of your listed items into your fa-vorite search engine with the item name and manufacturer and the word “sale” or “cheap.” What you’ll get as a result is usually a bunch of photos of the item you want with prices on them. If these are lower than your list price, find out where they are being sold. Most often it can be a local store that has them on sale. Then you can just go to that store and buy it at a good price. Don’t forget that this is the season for lower prices on camping gear (it’s on sale) since the season for outdoor activity is NOT winter. Repeat this process time and again until you have satisfied your wish/shopping list.
Here’s another Christmas shopping day treat that can also be packaged as a gift for a party or simple visit to a friend’s home during this season.
White Chocolate Peppermint BarkIngredients:• Crushed candy canes, to yield 1 cup• 2 pounds white chocolate cut into pieces• Peppermint flavorings, optionalDirections: Place candy canes in a plastic
bag and break into 1/4-inch or smaller pieces with a kitchen mallet or can from your pantry. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (see be-low if no double boiler). Combine candy cane chunks with chocolate (add peppermint flavor-ing at this point if desired). Pour mixture onto a cookie sheet layered with parchment or waxed paper and place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes or until firm. Remove from cookie sheet and break into pieces (like peanut brittle).
If you do not have a double boiler you can use the microwave. Just cut the white choco-late in pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl. Adjust your microwave to 50 percent strength so you don’t burn the chocolate. Then heat the chocolate 30 seconds at a time and stir it between each 30 second interval. Repeat this process as needed until the white chocolate is mostly melted.
White peppermint bark can be made with a double boiler or even in the microwave. (Submitted photo)

Peruvian caramel custardCommentary by Ceci Martinez
Even though this dessert isn’t originally from Peru, it is one of the most loved and popular sweets in my country! This Christmas add a unique spin to your holiday menu with this “deliciosicima” crema volteada.
Note: Bain-marie consists of placing a container (baking pan, bowl, etc.) of food in a large, shallow pan of warm water, which sur-rounds the food with gentle heat.
CREMA VOLTEADA Serves: 8IngredientsFor the caramel: 3/4 cup, generous, granu-
lated sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons water, 3 drops lemon juice
For the custard: 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 (12 fl oz) can evaporated milk, 4 eggs, 1 vanilla bean or 1 tea-spoon vanilla extract
DirectionsFor the caramel: In a me-
dium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt sugar with water and lemon juice until mixture is golden brown (about 8 to 10 minutes), make sure not to let sugar burn. Carefully pour hot caramel into a round baking mold with a hole in the middle turning it so caramel covers both the bottom and sides. Set aside.
For the custard: Preheat oven at 350F.
In a large bowl, lightly whisk eggs until well combined; add condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla bean, mix well until smooth. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the caramel baking mold and bake in a bain-marie for 1 hour. To be sure the cream is cooked insert a knife blade
into the cream; if the blade comes out clean, the cream is done.
Remove from oven and let it cool. To serve, run a knife around the cream where it is connected to the mold. Care-
fully invert mold into a serving platter and jiggle loose so it falls in
one piece. Caramel custard can be served at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with strawberries or edible flowers and mint leafs.
Fancy Nancy Get it at Woody’s, Carmel. Ingredients: 1.5 oz. blueberry vodka, 1 oz. blue curacao, splash of sweet and sour, splash of sprite Directions: Shake with ice and garnish with maraschino cherries.

Commentary by David Decker
You may not have considered this a big decision, but deciding on a new shower head
can be a complicated and some-times difficult decision. There are many factors to consider and,
based on your priorities, there are a variety of options.
The best traditional showerhead for you can vary based on your needs. For example, athletes who rely on showerheads to recuper-ate sore muscles should purchase something different than someone who relies on them solely to wake them up in the morning. Be sure the showerhead has a pivot mechanism so you can adjust the spray direction, as well as various spray settings that you can change when needed if you so desire.
One specific type of showerhead, referred to as rain-head showers, are mounted on the ceiling of the shower and are usually 8 to 12 inches in diameter. By being mounted this way, plus with small holes that extinguish consistent, small droplets, they give the effect of being rained on. Some advanced models have various settings from a drenching to a light drizzling rain.

This is one example of a master bath remodel. (Submitted photo)
Hand showers are another option. Home-owners usually choose these when they want to direct where the shower water goes. Whether it’s washing the dog or assisting
young children, hand showers are made to make the act of cleaning easier. Hand show-ers are available with a variety of functions and can be used in everything from a stan-dard shower to a fully custom shower.
Body sprays are new to some homeown-ers and combine the power of a showerhead or hand shower with massaging water jets, usually mounted on the walls of the shower. They give the homeowner a relaxing, soothing experience that they previously could only get from their masseuse. Some body sprays have more than one jet, allowing for an even more luxurious experience.
Whichever shower choice you make it must fit the lifestyle and needs of your family. Give us a call at 575-9540 if you have further ques-tions about how to upgrade your shower into something you love.

Commentary by Don Knebel
Copenhagen’s Kastellet (“Citadel”) may be the most beautiful active military base in the world. It is also the site of a unique religious
tradition and a great choice for an afternoon stroll.
In 1626, Danish King Christian IV began building Kastellet to defend the har-bor north of Copenhagen. The fortress took the form of a five-pointed star, surrounded by a moat. Bastions at each point allowed can-nons to fire in all directions. To enable defend-ers to weather a siege, the fortress included 16 windmills for grinding flour and a Baroque style church where troops could pray.
In 1725, King Frederick IV built a prison behind the church, with eye holes in the cell walls so inmates could follow the church proceedings. The most famous prisoner was Johann Friedrich Struensee, a German physi-cian to schizophrenic King Christian VII who became an important governmental reformer in his own right. Following discovery of Stru-ensee’s affair with King Christian’s young queen, he was held in Kastellet’s prison in
War and Peace in Copenhagen1772 until he was beheaded, quartered and displayed in pieces a few blocks away in what is now a lovely park.
Today, Kastellet houses branches of the Danish military, including the intelligence ser-vice. Colorful barracks sit amid the grassy ram-parts and a lone Danish soldier stands guard at the guard house. Cannons point toward ancient foes. But the entire property is freely open to the public, with concerts held regularly on the manicured grounds and in the church. On the fourth Friday after Easter, Danes pa-rade atop Kastellet’s ramparts in spring finery celebrating Store Bededag (“Great Prayer Day”), a religious holiday introduced by the Church of Denmark in 1686 to consolidate several minor feast days. Every Oct. 28, the last surviving windmill, erected in 1847, is tested to assure that it remains capable of feeding besieged troops. So far, so good.
