The Fishers Plan Commission unanimously forwarded development The Stations at Fishers District to city council after hearing from the petitioners at its March 6 meeting. The Stations at Fishers District proposal was continued from the plan commission’s February meeting. Director of Planning and Zoning Tony Bagato presented on the 8.67-acre project. The project, at 9712 and 9799 E. 116th St., is east of The Yard at Fishers District. It was originally approved in 2017 under a different property owner. The property changed hands and is now owned by Thompson Thrift Retail Group, which also is developing The Yard at Fishers District. Bagato said although Thompson Thrift manages both properties, The Stations at Fishers District and The Yard at Fishers District are separate projects. Although The Yard at Fishers District is focused on culinary and restaurant developments, The Stations at Fishers District will feature retail, office and townhomes and a hotel. The project will create vehicular and pedestrian connectivity between The Yard at Fishers District and the Kroger grocery store to the west. After Bagato’s presentation, Steve Hardin, a partner with Faegre Baker Daniels, presented on the project. “This concept plan is a conceptual plan and not the final design. We are still working through the final shape of what the hotel will look like,” Hardin said. “The (property) uses aren’t going to change, but we will likely have some pushing and pulling on exactly how the hotel gets oriented.” A dog park is planned for the townhome area, and Hardin said the location of the dog park and some landscape buffers may change if the hotel’s location changes. “The townhomes may move down a little bit to accommodate the hotel,” he said. “Everybody is really excited about the project.” With the plan commission’s favorable recommendation, The Stations at Fishers District proposal was scheduled to go before the Fishers City Council at its March 18 meeting. Results were not available at press time. For more, visit fishers.in.us.

But some hobby parishioners at Northview Church in Fishers have turned their love of knitting into a way to help the community. Knitting with a Purpose was created in January 2016 as a way for church members to spend time together. “It was started to serve several ministries in the Indianapolis area, to have community, to share and to pray together,” group leader Teresa Easterday said. The women meet twice a month on Wednesday evenings. They create lap blankets, baby hats and blankets, scarves, hats and bonding cloths. The items are then donated to Pregnancy Choices, Circle City Relief, Isaiah House, Community North Hospital Cancer Center and the Community North Hospital NICU. “A couple of times a year we have the leaders of the ministries from Circle City Relief and Pregnancy Choices come in,” Easterday said. “We pray over the items and then give them the things we’ve

Members range in age from their 30s to 80s. “It’s a very multi-generational thing, and that is really cool because I’m not in many things that far spread,” Easterday said.

These restrictions will be short term in order to drop trees for the road-widening project. Flaggers will be in place to help direct traffic. • Southbound and northbound traffic on Allisonville Road is now on newly constructed pavement. This will remain the traffic reconfiguration as construction continues into spring 2019. The speed limit is 30 mph. • Construction work has begun on Ind. 37. Construction vehicles will use the construction entrance on Lantern Road between 126th and 131st streets, which may cause short delays. There currently are no scheduled lane restrictions. CARMEL • Lane restrictions are under way near Keystone Parkway and 96th Street, where a new roundabout interchange will be built. Construction is expected to last through the year. • Construction on a new access ramp from Lowes Way to Keystone Parkway is ongoing.

A 1900s history of the Nickel Plate Bar and Grill Commentary by Robert Bowling The Nickel Plate Bar and Grill has a long history dating to back in the day the late 1800s. As stated in the previous article, the Nickel Plate was known as Park Crawford’s saloon around the turn of the century. Crawford was adored by those who frequented his saloon, but he was abhorred by many more who looked down on his establishment. Those that were against the saloon rejoiced when, in 1920, the U.S. banned the production, importation and sale of alcoholic beverages. Prohibition would last 13 years, but that didn’t stop Fishers residents from quenching their thirst. Liquor sales and consumption basically went underground. During Prohibition, Fishers had places referred to as “Blind Tigers” (also known as speakeasys), where illicit alcohol could be purchased and consumed. The great-grandfather of Larry Reynolds, author of the “Mudsock Scrapbook,” recalled during Prohibition that people would go

into the barbershop above Allen Harrison’s drugstore and would get a free haircut if they purchased the drugstore’s whiskey. Harrison, a longtime Fishers pharmacist, found himself on the wrong side of the law back in 1907. Alcohol could be purchased at a pharmacy with a doctor’s prescription. He was charged with selling intoxicating liquor without a doctor’s prescription. While writing this article, I wondered what became of the Nickel Plate Bar and Grill during Prohibition. According to Reynolds, the main building was converted into a general store selling groceries, school supplies and cigars. A small corner room was added that became a beauty shop. When Prohibition ended in 1933, the saloon went back to doing what it did best under its new name, the Fishers Tavern. Robert Bowling has been a Fishers police officer for 16 years. He is a school resource officer and is the Fishers Police Dept. historian. He recently wrote the script and performed in the “Battle of Mudsock” re-enactment.

Session halftime update By State Sen. Victoria Spartz (R-Noblesville) The Indiana General Assembly recently reached its halfway point, meaning all the bills passed by the Senate will now be considered by the House of Representatives and vice versa. The Senate introduced 636 bills this year, and of those, 218 passed. Of the bills that passed, 125 received unanimous support and 195 received bipartisan support. During the next few months, the Senate will discuss 201 bills coming from the House. Below are bills I authored this session that recently passed the Senate: Senate Bill 405 would develop risklimiting audits for election results and processes. Senate Bill 407 would establish the Economic and Regulatory Policy Task Force to address the long-term fiscal health of the state, improve legislative oversight and reporting, enhance internal controls and audit procedures, increase transparency and simplify the regulatory environment of small businesses in Indiana. Senate Bill 545 would improve risk and stress-test reporting for pension plans. Senate Bill 546 would establish the Education Task Force to assess the governance structure of K-12, higher education and workforce development systems in Indiana as well as decrease regulations and streamline education reporting. Senate Bill 547 would urge the Legislative Council to task a summer study committee with studying best practices for K-12 education, reassessing science education based on a deeper understanding of subject matter, improving mathematics, geography and personal finance education and adding entrepreneurship to the K-12 curriculum. Senate Bill 548 would identify key cost drivers for Medicaid expenditures and reassess payment and legal infrastructure for mental health and addiction treatment services. Senate Bill 549 would require school superintendents to submit a financial indicators report (dashboard), created by House Enrolled Act 1315 in 2018, to the school boards. It would also urge the Legislative Council to assign a summer study committee to study the oversight and governance structure of tax increment financing as well as reporting mechanisms between local government units. Senate Bill 596 would allow the Indiana Supreme Court to expand the Youth Assistance Program for at-risk youth and families. Senate Concurrent Resolution 16 would

urge the Legislative Council to task a summer study committee with assessing the laws and policies concerning the adjudication and rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. A number of other important bills, authored by my colleagues, also passed out of our chamber during the last few months. Senate Bill 1 would aim to improve Indiana’s foster care system. Senate Bill 2 would work to increase school bus safety in our state. Senate Bill 12 would provide a bias-crime protection for all Hoosiers. Senate Bill 33 would establish a grant fund to support the establishment of comprehensive addiction recovery centers, which would offer a full range of treatment options to those struggling with drug abuse. Senate Bill 141 would place sensible regulations on Office-Based Opioid Treatment providers to ensure legally dispensed opioids aren’t diverted for illegal use. Senate Bill 233 would target tax relief for small businesses by doubling the personalproperty tax exemption from $20,000 to $40,000. Senate Bill 362 would expand the tax credit for Hoosier teachers. Senate Bill 460 would support broadband internet expansion in Indiana communities. Senate Bill 516 would authorize hemp production in our state by allowing Hoosier farmers to seek a license to grow non-intoxicating hemp. This would create a new cash crop for our agriculture industry. Senate Bill 519 would create stronger penalties for professional drug traffickers by allowing prosecutors to “stack” the amount of drugs dealt in a 90-day period. Senate Bill 552 would authorize sports wagering as well as other gaming changes. If you would like to discuss these or other bills moving through the General Assembly, contact me at Senator.Spartz@iga.in.gov or 800-382-9467. Read the full column at youarecurrent. com.

Indiana Spine Hospital, 13219 N. Meridian St., Carmel
Influx of medical facilities in Hamilton County can have side effects, experts say By Ann Marie Shambaugh • AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County residents seemed to be struck with déjà vu in 2018: Every few months, the headlines announced plans for another new or expanded hospital. Last year, Riverview Health opened a cover story new, full-service hospital in Westfield and announced plans for four new ER/ urgent care centers in Carmel, Fishers and Indianapolis. St. Vincent announced its intentions to develop 30 acres in southwest Carmel. Franciscan Health unveiled plans for a specialty orthopedic hospital in central Carmel, and IU Health North Hospital began construction on an 88,000-square-foot cancer center expansion. That’s not to mention other new urgent care centers, freestanding emergency rooms and other medical facilities popping up throughout the area. Some professionals insist Hamilton County residents win by having a variety of health care options in their own backyard. “It’s almost like by being co-located. People view it as a center of health care excellence, because you know they’re all competing,” said Seth Warren, president and CEO of Riverview Health. “It raises the level of care across the board, so I think there is some benefit to having competiWarren tors close to each other.” But while the influx of health care options may help Hamilton County residents feel more secure should they have a medical emergency, its leaders are hitting the brakes on some of the proposed projects, saying an abundance of hospitals isn’t necessarily a good thing.
‘An aggressive marketplace’
Although the number of health care facilities expanding in Hamilton County seems excessive to some, it’s not surprising to Brian Tabor, president of the Indiana Hospital Association.

With a population that has increased 18 percent since 2010, and the county expected to be Indiana’s second-most populous by 2050, according to Indiana Business Research Center, Tabor said it makes sense that the number of hospitals also would rapidly expand. Tabor also said that low interest rates have led to recent expansions of health systems throughout the state and nation. Much of the new development Tabor’s Tabor seen has been for specialized services – such as Franciscan’s proposed orthopedic hospital – as opposed to traditional full-service hospitals. Franciscan did not provide an official to be interviewed. Officials from St. Vincent declined to be interviewed. In addition to Riverview’s new full-service hospital in Westfield, it is preparing to open four freestanding emergency rooms/urgent care centers in Fishers, north Carmel, west Carmel and Nora by 2020. Warren said Riverview explores several factors when considering a new facility, such as demographics, traffic and growth patterns. “If you have too many craft brewhouses together, some are going to suffer because there are only so many people who go to breweries,” said Warren, comparing potential health care oversaturation to the restaurant industry.
Protecting the taxpayers
All of the hospital systems in Hamilton County are nonprofits, meaning they are exempt from paying property taxes on land they own. Many seek to build in busy corridors that are zoned for business development, leaving cities without tax revenue they could have received. At the same time, they use city services, such as police and fire protection.
To address the issue, some health care systems agree to make payments in lieu of taxes, or PILOT, for a set amount of time or for perpetuity. The payments cover the property tax revenue that would have been generated if a for-profit business had developed the site. State leaders are paying attention, too. After Carmel and Indianapolis residents voiced opposition to St. Vincent purchasing land for a potential facility on Spring Mill Road, State Sen. John Ruckelshaus filed a bill for the 2019 legislative session that would require hospitals to prove a need in an area before building a new facility. “The hospitals and health care providers are clustering these hospitals in areas where fully insured patients live, which is in the higher socioeconomic areas,” said Ruckelshaus, adding that this is happening across the nation. “They’re chasing that fully insured patient almost as a cost subsidy to Medicare and Medicaid, where they lose money.”
competing for workers In addition to competing for patients, local hospital systems also are competing for workers. Tabor, of the Indiana Hospital Association, said a shortage of employees is what could keep the market from becoming oversaturated. Riverview Health’s Warren said attracting and retaining employees is a constant challenge and that some of Riverview’s workers on the lower end of the pay scale commute from Anderson because affordable housing is difficult to find in many parts of Hamilton County. “With low unemployment rates, the growth in this area and more competition from a number of industries, there are a limited number of available staff,” Warren said.

ESSA Y
LE T T ER Green New Deal concept an ‘idiotic scheme’
New age question Commentary by Terry Anker Sam Adams, colorful mayor of Portland, Ore., is recorded as saying of his city, “This is where young people come to retire.” Likely, he was addressing the rampant youth homeless challenges that confront his city and others in the Pacific Northwest. Still, he does point to an interesting sociological theme. At the turn of the most recent century, the phenomena was routinely called a failure to launch. Now, much more accepted in the general population, it has morphed into a panoply of forms. This is not to say that some gap years, world tours and periods of self-discovery are not entirely warranted, but they are assuredly more common, in some cases expected, among a growing number of young adults. Metal-detecting seniors strolling along the beach in South Florida might be seen in a T-shirt declaring that youth is wasted on the young. In many ways, it makes sense. As we age, we become more selfassured and confident in our own skin. The elderly are routinely measured as markedly happier and more content, even as they divest themselves of their many ambitions as unattainable due to an understanding of their own limitations or simply a chronological lack of runway. Is it possible that happiness correlates with low stress, which correlates with low self-expectations? Likewise, could we claim that retirement is wasted on the elderly? Could we match the retirementprovided spirit of freedom to an ambulatory and youthful body? One wonders, are these constraints societal or necessary in the evolution of humankind? If we give up early, can we still find satisfaction in a life well spent? Is permanent vacation or productive labor the key to fulfillment?

Stop the DST insanity Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m starting a movement, people. End Daylight Saving Time now, before we tear ourselves to pieces! It’s archaic, humor old-fashioned, out of date, antiquated, obsolete and redundant. I mean, we do this every. Single. Spring. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one still riding the struggle bus, 10 days in. My poor teenagers, bleary-eyed over their cereal, can’t even tell that it’s morning. “What’s happening, Mommy?” one whispers, a tear rolling down her cheek and into a bowl of Lucky Charms, to which she’s forgotten to add milk. “I don’t feel right.” Me, neither, sweetheart. Me, neither. I’m going to bed at 8 p.m., waking at 4 a.m., and panicking every time I find a clock that I forgot to reset. The extra daylight also is messing with my internal ginge-ometer (trademark pending), which measures my genetic vulnerability as a redhead to sunshine. The needle has been frantically
oscillating between “You Can Go Outside Now, It’s Dark” and “No, Wait a Few More Minutes.” And, it will only get worse. Come June, I won’t be able to enjoy the glorious freedom of true night until way past reruns of “Jeopardy.” Is this any way to live, I ask? Must we continue on blindly, pretending we haven’t sacrificed a precious hour of our existence to the ancient gods of a long-since demised, agrarian-based society? Have we no decency? Think of the children! So join me, and together we can, nay, we will, end this DST madness (or at least force a switch to central time. Anyone with a map can see we should ally ourselves with fellow Midwesterners rather than East Coasters). Huzzah! Peace out.

Q U O T E O F T H E W EEK “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” -Mark Twain
Editor, I should like to politely disagree with the letter by Dr. Steve Simon about the Green New Deal. I do not have a Ph.D., but I do have some common sense. The whole concept of the Green New Deal is one of the most idiotic schemes ever devised by our politicians. The idea of doing away with all fossil fuels is totally impractical. There is no way we can totally depend on wind power or solar power to supply all our energy needs. The most laughable part of this concept is that of doing away with cows to eliminate their flatulence. I am not totally convinced that climate change is as bad as some scientists lead us to believe. Even if we grant that climate change poses an imminent danger to our planet, there must be better ways of dealing with it than with the Green New Deal. Dr. Stevens does not mention it in his letter, but I would like to add that the thinking that the United States should pay the major part of the bill for climate change in the world is another ridiculous idea. Robert J. Tinsky, Fishers

An eggcellent idea? Commentary by Dick Wolfsie If there’s something on the market that might make my life a little easier, you can bet I’m going to try it. My inhumor terest was piqued when I saw a product on Amazon called the EZ Cracker, which is a nifty little mechanism that (the manufacturer claims) takes all the work and mess out of cracking eggs. For a mere $17.95, this product guarantees you’ll never find eggshells in your food again. You simply place the egg in this handheld appliance and squeeze the handles. Before you know it, it has sliced the egg cleanly in half and deposited the liquid contents in a bowl, yolk intact. I’ll wait while you grab your credit card. As a bonus, there is a tiny spindle attached to this kitchen tool that you can insert into the raw egg, and after a bit of witchcraft, the egg is scrambled while it is still in the shell. Why is the newest iPad getting all the good PR? Testimonials from recent buyers were mostly positive, but there are some complaints: “I would love to give this five stars, but I find that it doesn’t work with
free-roaming eggs.” Don’t eggs have to be stationary in order for the thing to operate properly? One customer said the EZ Cracker was “OK,” but that she probably wouldn’t order another one. Was she thinking of putting one in the extra bedroom? Amazon says some people who bought an EZ Cracker also purchased the $5.99 Egg Yolky, a state-of-the-art device that divides the yellow from the white in order to make cholesterol-free dishes. I’m thinking that people too lazy to crack their own eggs are not real interested in a healthy diet. Another featured egg item is a round wire thingamajig that cuts the top off of soft-boiled eggs. One husband was angry his wife left it out where the kids could find it because he thought it was her IUD. I wish I were making that up. I’m going to stick to the old-standard methods of food prep. What would Eggs Benedict be without a little crunch? Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist and speaker. Contact him at wolfsie@aol.com.

Nonprofit offers free medical care By Maria Cook • news@currentinfishers.com For low-income residents of Hamilton County, going to the doctor can clinic pose a great financial burden. Even basic care, such as checkups and teeth cleanings, can be expensive without insurance. Adding to this difficulty is the fact that many low-income jobs offer little to no paid time off, yet most doctor’s and dentist’s offices only are open during the week. In October 2000, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church responded to the need for free medical care in Hamilton County by starting a clinic, which operated out of its nurse’s office and library. Two years later, the clinic expanded, moving to a new location on 146th street. The clinic became an official nonprofit organization in 2005. In 2011, the Trinity Free Clinic opened in its own building on the campus of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 1045 W. 146th St., Suite B, Carmel. Since then, the clinic, which offers free medical care to the uninsured and underinsured of Hamilton County, has grown to serve approximately 4,000 unique patients per year. Approximately 23 percent are from Carmel.
“We want to be that safety net,” said Dina Ferchmin, who has served as the clinic’s executive director for nearly five years. “We will take care of you when you have an acute issue, such as if you have a broken tooth (and) you can’t work because you are in so much pain, we can relieve that so that you can go back to work. We are open in the evenings and on Saturdays because our patients are the working poor. They will not take time off work to take care of themselves.” Ferchmin said the clinic’s services have slowly expanded to meet the growing needs of the community. “We wanted to provide immunizations,” Ferchmin said. “That led to, ‘Well, we have to do physicals first,’ so now we do physicals as well. Then we thought, ‘If we’re taking care of the kids, why not take care of the moms?’ So, we started cancer screenings and free mammograms in partnership with St. Vincent.” The clinic now provides a wide range of health services, from eye exams to physical therapy. Ferchmin noted, however, that although the clinic can diagnose certain chronic conditions, it is not equipped to provide the ongoing care that some patients require. Patients with such conditions must be referred to doctors elsewhere.

Approximately 400 volunteers serve at the Trinity Free Clinic, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists, among specialists. Physician and pediatrician Dr. Julie Fecht has volunteered with the clinic for six years. During that time, the clinic has grown to serve patients from more than 80 nations. “It presents unique challenges when you have documents from other countries,” Fecht said. “Our biggest challenge is deciphering the shot records from different countries to see what shots the kids actually need.” For Lyn Hopkins, a dental hygienist who has volunteered at the clinic for about 10 years, one of the greatest challenges is having to direct some patients elsewhere for treatment. “Patients can tell if you’re sincere or not,
especially when you have to tell them that their need cannot be filled here. That’s always really hard to say,” she said. Hopkins said the desire to serve, which draws volunteers like herself to the Trinity Free Clinic, also is what keeps them coming back, year after year, in spite of the challenges. “When you can make a person smile and you get a hug because you helped them and you were kind to them, it makes you feel great. You have to have a servant’s heart to do this,” she said. “I would say everybody there has a servant’s heart. I can guarantee that.” Learn more at trinityfreeclinic.org.

St. Yared adds food truck
Endurance House to close Zionsville location, Fishers store remains open
By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com
By Heather Lusk news@currentzionsville.com
After four years serving Zionsville, Endurance House will close its locaUpdate tion on South Main Street in Zionsville. The Fishers store will remain open. Endurance House is a retail store specializing in running gear and sports apparel. “It’s a blow to the running community,” Zionsville resident Mike Cole said. Cole said he appreciated that Endurance House has sponsored so many local running events and activities through the years, including his own. The increase in online shopping didn’t help, according to co-owner Jay Miller. The National Retail Federation reported that retail holiday sales grew 2.9 percent last year while online sales grew 11.5 percent. Miller concedes that many people, including himself, shop online but reminds people

to support local businesses. The closure of stores nationwide has been dubbed the “retail apocalypse.” The number of planned major store closings announced so far in 2019 is approximately 4,800, according to an analysis by Coresight Research, an increase of 23 percent versus the same time last year. Franchise agreements require that the store remain open until March 21. All inventory and store fixtures are currently for sale.
Patrons of St. Yared Ethiopian Cuisine & Coffeehaus, 11210 Fall restaurant Creek Rd., may notice a large, colorful food truck in the parking lot. Owner Etenesh Abebe and her husband, Haile, bought the truck in June 2018 and have been working ever since on some mechanical issues. The truck still needs a few fixes in its internal kitchen operations, and then it will be sound to travel. “The reason why we decided to add a food and coffee truck dimension to our business is so that we can reach out and serve the people of Hamilton County,” Etenesh said. “Primarily, we are especially interested in serving the retirement home communities, but over time, we hope to take part in festivities at churches, schools, the (Geist) Marina, farmer’s markets, weddings and neighborhoods.” The Abebes plan to get the truck on the road at the end of April or early May. The truck will offer Ethiopian cuisine and coffee, with a smaller version of the menu at its Geist restaurant, which opened in

September 2013. “We do not plan to join a caravan of food trucks and sell ‘food truck food,’” Etenesh said. “Accordingly, the food we will have on our food truck will be exactly the same not only in our house in Fishers but also exactly like that of our families who live in the Christian heartland of Ethiopia.” The Abebes also are exploring opening a second café in the Fortville area in the future.

Five Barrington employees form musical group to entertain residents on Friday nights By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Barrington 5 are a versatile group of performers. “We play everything from music The Beach Boys to The Beatles to The Everly Brothers to Jimmy Buffett,” Tim Fishburn said. “There is probably nothing we haven’t attempted to sing.” What makes the group even more unique is all five are employees of The Barrington of Carmel, a senior living community, and are all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They formed the singing group approximately 15 months ago. The Barrington 5 performs each Friday night between 30 and 40 minutes at all four care levels of The Barrington, starting at the independent living level during social hour. “We usually have 90 to 100 people show up there,” said Fishburn, resident services coordinator. “We then go to memory care, then assisted living and finish in skilled nursing.” The other members of the group are Fishers residents David Hui Hui and Scott Buhler and Geist-area residents Sarah Lopez and Laura Haynie. Haynie works in the elite concierge services department on the independent living side. Lopez is the lifestyles coordinator for memory care. Hui Hui and Buhler are drivers. “The Barrington 5 is rewarding in a multitude of ways,” Lopez said. “I love connecting with the residents on this more personal level. It helps build community and family. I started working for The Barrington four years ago and it led me to bring in these four friends of mine, but I had no idea at the time what that would mean to me and the residents here. I had close relationships with residents and these friends before our group formed. But serving this way has made us all a strong family group that are there for each other and lift one another up. It has been a joy and blessing.”
From left, Tim Fishburn, Sarah Lopez, David Hui Hui, Laura Haynie and Scott Buhler perform as The Barrington 5. (Submitted photo)
Fishburn said the musical performances usually have a theme. For instance, a recent theme was beach songs, featuring songs by The Beach Boys and similar groups. “They’ll choose after every song what they think the theme for that night is,” Fishburn said. “Usually, they guess it after two or three, unless we are being really cantankerous and making it really hard. But not often will we do that.” The group performed Disney songs for the memory care unit and Lopez dressed as Snow White. Fishburn said everyone sings. Hui Hui, who is from Hawaii, plays the guitar. “He’s extremely gifted in many ways,” Fishburn said. “He put himself through college (BYU-Hawaii) by singing at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii. He is incredible.” Fishburn also can play guitar when Hui Hui isn’t available. There also is a karaoke box if needed to play in the background as the group sings. “We all ended up at The Barrington one by one, and we were drawn here to have
this music ministry,” Fishburn said. Lopez organized the Christmas program and The Barrington 5 provided the entertainment. “She wrote it, choreographed the whole thing,” Fishburn said. Fishburn said Hui Hui and Lopez occasionally perform as a duet called Serendipity. “Once a quarter, they will put on a concert,” Fishburn said. “They did all songs from movies or plays. It was incredibly good. I emceed it and they did all the talent-side of it.” Lopez suggested The Barrington as a place to work for Fishburn, who had turned his business, Midwest Sports Complex, over to his son. “I just fell in love with it,” said Fishburn, who was originally hired as a driver. Fishburn said the music ministry gets a number of requests from residents to sing at funerals. “We have also been able to go to the residents’ apartments and sing happy birthday as well as sing them one or two of their favorite songs,” Fishburn said.

Hosner enjoying role at IRT
Carmel 1438 W. Main Street 317-993-3350

Earlier this year, Hosner was in a production of ‘Photograph 51” at the Court Theatre in Chicago. He said there are a number of similarities with the roles.

Any port in a storm Commentary by Elizabeth Morse In December 2018, I shared my love of Sherry. Right on the heels of Sherry seems like the perfect time WINEderlust to mention another fortified wine: port. Red port is a blend which uses many grape varieties and comes from the Duoro River Valley in Portugal. A “vintage” designation is given to those wines from the best years. They are great during the holidays and cold weather and are actually great throughout the year. Sub them for an after-dinner drink, or in some cases, a stand-in for dessert. 2011 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port is a crowd-pleaser. It can be described as a classic. A smooth but meaty option with heaps of black cherry. It is a delicious mouthful and great with chocolate and caramel. A little pricey at $49 for the smaller, 375 ml bottle. 2008 Dow’s Port, Quinta Senhora da Ribera presents a deep, dark color with spiced berries on the nose. The finish is at once bright, long and lingering. An intense and concentrated wine. Lovely with dark choco-
late ($75). 2016 Kopke Vintage Porto is another black beauty. Kopke is the oldest port house in the world, founded by a German diplomat in 1638. The hand-stenciled bottles stand out on a bar and add a sentimental nod to tradition. Very dark in color with aromas of black fruit in the glass and one of my favorite flavor combos: cocoa, violet and black pepper on the tongue. An aggressive mouthful, Kopke layers balance, flavor and tannin beautifully. Big, long finish. About $60. The aforementioned would be a hit with dark chocolate, caramel and fruit desserts but would work with dinner, too. Berry flavors can be a terrific match with savory fare like roasted meat, blue cheese and duck. Cheers. Elizabeth Morse owned the Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple for close to 20 years.

Address: 11210 Fall Creek Rd., Indianapolis What to get: Meat Combination for One Price: $24.75 Anna’s take: Let me preface by stating please go to St. Yared when you are very hungry. The portions this family-owned restaurant provides are astronomical — in a good way. I ordered the Meat Combination for One, and it was definitely a cultural dining experience. I had never tried Ethiopian food, and the combination platter served Doro Wot (spicy chicken), Ye-siga Tibs (beef) and Ye-beg Alicha (mild lamb). The platter comes with your choice of two vegetarian dishes. I chose Ye-Misir Wot (split red lentils) and Tikle Gomen (cabbage and carrot). The spices are exported from Ethiopia. The Meat Combination for One is definitely an ideal choice if you’ve never tried Ethiopian food. If you’re hesitant when it comes to spice, let your server know and they will help you order what’s best for your delicate taste buds. The cool thing I learned about
The Meat Combination for One at St. Yared Ethiopian Cuisine & Coffeehaus combines spicy chicken, beef and mild lamb. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
Ethiopian food is you eat with your right hand only, because food is considered sacred in Ethiopia, and you’re not supposed to use your left hand or utensils. It makes for a messy but very fun meal. The meals are served with a tortilla made of an ancient grain called teff, which is used to scoop and eat food. In Ethiopia, couples feeding each other is considered the ultimate expression of love, so get to it, lovebirds! Suggested pairings: Although St. Yared has a full bar, I strongly encourage you to try the Ethiopian Spiced Tea ($2.50). It’s a mouthful of comfort.

Heavy metal medal — or is it mettle? Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I had a friend visit me the other day to tell me about a problem. I listened to her secret shame and consoled her. Under the veil of anonymity, she grammar guy agreed to allow me to use her issue, but not her real name. For our purposes, we’ll call her Gwenifer. Gwenifer didn’t know whether to use the word “medal” or “metal” in an email she was typing. When I reminded her of the existence of “meddle” and “mettle,” her brain nearly exploded. I’m afraid that’s not what she needed in her moment of uncertainty. Medal, metal, meddle and mettle are examples of homophones. Homophones are a type of homonym that sound alike, have different meanings, and also have different spellings. It’s no wonder Gwenifer became confused; medal and metal have some crossover meanings. Metal is a substance like gold, silver or copper that is usually hard and shiny. Metals are malleable and have excellent thermal and electrical conductivity properties. Other examples of metals include aluminum, iron, and bronze. We get the word metal from the Latin word metallum, meaning quarry, mine or metal. Confusingly, a “medal” is always made of metal. In the Olympics, the top three contestants win gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively. A medal is a flattened piece of metal, often in the shape of a circle, to commemorate or honor someone. The word medal originates from the Latin

word medallia, which was a coin worth half a denarius. Meddle is when you get all up in someone else’s business, to borrow from a common colloquialism. Meddle means getting involved in another person’s matters without (and often against) her consent. Gwenifer’s nosy neighbor Nina often meddles when she gives Gwenifer unwelcome relationship advice. We get our modern English word meddle from an Old English word medler, which meant “to mix.” What does “mettle” mean, and how did we get it? It simply means courage or fortitude. Mettle speaks of a brave person’s unwavering temperament. If it sounds similar to “metal,” that’s because mettle originated from a metaphorical version of metal. In the mid-16th century, the word “mettle” shows up as a specialized spelling of the word “metal,” and should only be used for figurative uses. I don’t fault folks like Gwenifer when they trip over these incredibly similar words; that’s why I didn’t even mention pedal, petal, peddle and pettle. Those are homophones for another day.

Porvoo, Finland, from the Porvoonjoki River. (Photo by Don Knebel)
A brief history of Porvoo Commentary by Don Knebel For visitors to Helsinki, Finland, a drive to Porvoo takes an hour. It provides an opportunity to go back several hundred years. Beginning in prehistory, travel members of the Tavastian tribe lived in the areas around the Porvoonjoki River in southern Finland. In the middle of the 13th century, Sweden, apparently encouraged by the Pope, launched military crusades to impose Christianity on the Tavastians, eventually gaining control of what is now Finland. Swedish immigrants established Porvoo as a trading town on the eastern bank of the Porvoonjoki River, near where it empties into the Gulf of Finland. Porvoo’s residents built a small wooden church in their new town, which they rebuilt in the 15th century from stone, featuring a steep wooden roof and a separate bell tower. By the beginning of the 18th century, Sweden had become Lutheran. Porvoo, profiting from agricultural trade, had become the second-largest city in Finland, and Porvoo’s church had become a cathedral as the seat of the bishop for Finland’s Swedish-speaking
Lutherans. Near the end of the 18th century, Porvoo residents painted the wooden warehouses along the river red in anticipation of a visit by Swedish King Gustav III. In 1809, the Diet of Porvoo was convened in the town hall, and the resulting document transferring control of Finland from Sweden to Russia was signed that year in the Porvoo Cathedral. Today, Porvoo is a modern city, with about 50,000 residents, a third of whom still speak Swedish. The Old Town, with a population of about 800, is set off from the rest of the city and its buildings meticulously maintained. Most of the still-red riverside warehouses serve as restaurants or private homes. The Old Town Hall is a museum, and the cathedral still welcomes worshippers. When you are next in Helsinki, spend an afternoon in Porvoo. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com.

Dispatches Clean shower doors — Tired of cleaning glass shower doors? Treat them with Rain-X. A coating of the stuff on shower doors will allow water to bead up and roll right off, leaving less residue behind. You’ll have to re-treat every few weeks, but it’s still easier than cleaning all that soap scum and gunk off your shower doors. Source: MSN.com
Wood floor repair — Some wood-floor scratches look worse than they really are. If you run your fingers over the scratch and you don’t feel a deep gouge, try this remedy to make it disappear. Dab a bit of white toothpaste onto the minor scratch, and rub it in with a damp sponge. Wipe the scratch area completely clean with a dry cloth, and your scratch should be gone.
