Couple grateful for FFD, FPD By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Fishers Fire Dept., it was just a routine call for a possible PUBLIC SAFETY car fire. For Geist resident Gertrude Lusende and her husband Jose, the way the FFD and Police Dept. responded meant a great deal. Gertrude recently was about to make a left turn onto 116th Street from Brooks School Road in Fishers to go grocery shopping by herself on a late afternoon when she noticed the front of her Toyota Sequoia was smoking. “I was scared and frustrated,” Lusende said. “I got out of the car. I called my husband first, and he agreed I should call 911, and while I was doing that, he was calling the fire department that was on my left side.” Lusende, a renal metabolic nurse at IU Health Methodist Hospital, said the quick responders from the fire department helped calm her down and made sure she was OK. “The police officer moved (the car) out of the high-traffic area,” Lusende said. “They say the radiator was the culprit. It never caught fire, but I was afraid if I kept driving it would.”

The Lusendes’ car was towed after it began smoking while Gertrude Lusende was driving. (Submitted photo)

Lusende and her husband immigrated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo 20 years ago. “From an emergency responder’s perspective, the agencies didn’t do anything outside the ordinary,” FFD Public Information Officer/ Capt. John Mehling said. “Very nice people having a bad day, but we did what we do. In speaking with Jose, it seems his life experience in other situations, particularly the country he grew up in, has not been as accommodating as we try to be with our community. (We are) very happy that our police and fire were a positive experience in a stressful situation for his family.”

Author pens book on local food By Renee Larr news@currentinwestfield.com Food often is at the center of celebrations, such as holidays, birthdays and graduations, so former Hamilton RESTAURANTS County resident Karen Kennedy recently authored “Hamilton County Food; from Casual Grub to Gastropubs.” The book was released May 6. It celebrates past and present family owned restaurants in Hamilton Kennedy County. “The most important thing to know about the book is it features exclusively independently owned restaurants,” said Kennedy, an Indianapolis resident who has lived in Carmel and Fishers. “It traces the history of little mom-and-pop places, coffee shops and diners and how those restaurants moved the culinary scene forward until we get to where we are today.” Kennedy researched the history of restaurants by interviewing local residents and visiting the Carmel Clay Historical Society,

Hamilton County Historical Society and Westfield-Washington Historical Society. “It was essential to get the historical aspect of it right, but it was a challenge because restaurant history is not well-documented,” she said. Kennedy works as a copywriter but also has restaurant experience. “I have mad, crazy respect for how hard the work is and what a labor of love it is for restaurant owners,” she said. “It was really important for me to tell their tales and celebrate them.” The book details how readers can spend a foodie weekend in Hamilton County. “I tried to outline a great weekend of food with and without kids,” Kennedy said. “The book is really for everyone. You know you could start with breakfast at Rosie’s Place and then (go) to Peace Water Winery in the afternoon. If you have kids, you could go to Tina’s Tea Room.” The book is available at Turn the Page bookstore in Westfield, Silver in the City in Carmel, Conner Prairie in Fishers and on amazon.com. Kennedy will conduct a book signing Aug. 17 at Heritage Clothier and Home in Indianapolis from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Jennifer and Richard Reeves prepare to watch the parade with their dog, Pepé.

FOURTH FEST Annual Independence Day celebration returns to Lawrence By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Lawrence Mayor Steve Collier said the city’s Fourth Fest paCOVER STORY rade has been conducted for at least 50 years. “We line up over by Garrison Hill and the parade goes down Richardt Street until 47th Street, and then 47th Street east to Franklin, and then Franklin directly north to Community Park,” Collier said of the annual celebration. The rest of the events for Fourth Fest take place at Community Park. The parade begins at 10 a.m. and travels approximately 2 miles. By the time it reaches Community Park, the Car Show, which runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., should be well under way. Meanwhile, the Lions Club Fish Fry will

be from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Other food vendors will be on-site from 4 to 10 p.m. Collier said there will be six to eight food trucks lined up along Harman Way. Collier said live music will begin at about the time the car show ends. Each band performs for 1 1/2 hours. Acts include Half Wired, Cosmic Situation, Shaken Not Stirred and Rural Route 3. “The biggest thing we will have there will be more floats in the parade,” Collier said. “This is a municipal election year and everybody running for office and everybody who holds office has a float. There will be a larger contingent of Democratic Club and Republican Club floats. (State) Sen. (Jim) Merritt and (Indianapolis Mayor) Joe Hogsett will be there. The Lawrence marching band leads the parade and most of the

football teams will be marching together in jerseys.” Collier said the parade is typically a few hours long and finishes under a garrison flag hung between two firetrucks. “It makes for a great picture as we are coming down,” Collier said. Last year, Collier said there were 57 floats but he expects more this year. He said parade participants will toss candy and people generally stake out their spots early and line up shoulder-to-shoulder. “It’s definitely a Lawrence tradition,” Collier said. “We are very proud of that we have the only parade in Marion County on July 4. We always have a great turnout of local officials and statewide officials. Last year we had (former Sen. Joe) Donnelly and Hogsett and myself and Jim Merritt, and

this year we may have (Sen.) Todd Young and (U.S. Rep.) Susan Brooks come back (from Washington, D.C.).” Fireworks will begin around 10 p.m. The show will last for 45 minutes. For more, visit cityoflawrence.org.

OTHER EVENTS In addition to Fourth Fest July 4, there will be other events leading up to and following the annual Independence Day celebration. From June 28 to July 4, there will be a carnival open daily from 6 to 11 p.m. On July 6, the Freedom 5K will begin at 8 a.m.

ESSAY First and last

LETTER No excuses for Confederate stickers

Commentary by Terry Anker School’s out. The kids are enjoying the lazier days of summer. Homework is not a part of the evening ritual and wake-ups are a bit less frenzied. Class projects, final exams, the big game and the epic dance, no longer on the horizon, are all slowly fading in the rearview, never to be seen again. The events themselves slip into some blur of our collective memories. They become part of the weeks, the months, the years into which we organize ourselves. We adults, every one of us, has some recollection of school days. They revolve around friends, teachers and, hopefully, some smiles. But even as the reminiscences flood in, the details are faded and facts are confused. To help us maintain some order as life rushes by, we rely upon photos and mnemonics to keep it straight. Dad remembered events by the car he drove at the time something occurred. Each automobile was imbued with special significance and could be recalled in chronological order. Others invest in firsts – first kisses, first cars, first homes and first flat tires. It makes some sense since we humans are prone to remember most under a modicum of distress. There may be nothing more stressful than crossing over from the uninitiated. Likewise, we may keep a list of lasts – the last time we saw a dear friend, the last chicken dumplings that our grandmother made for us and the last time we laughed until our sides ached. Others? Even so, these firsts and lasts can sneak up on us. For some, this school year was the last, and for others, the first. Should we plan for these or are we better served to just let them happen? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.

All’s calm on the vacay front Commentary by Danielle Wilson As I begin writing, I can hear our Lab’s stomach seriously gurgling, loudly and often. She just ate, so I’m not sure if everything is about to come back HUMOR up or simply in the digestive process. Reminds me of the old days when I’d try to crunch out a piece during nap time. Would I finish before the rugrats awoke or would my creative flow be blocked by crying and dirty diapers? Time will tell. I may need to cut this short if the dog throw up, but I’m willing to risk it for the biscuit. I’m pleased to announce that we here at Chez Wilson survived the annual family vacay to the beach, where 26 of us piled into a house for one week. The littlest is 3 and the oldest is 77, but we managed to make memories and keep the shanking to a minimum. Actually, I don’t recall any fights between cousins, spouses, or my four

sisters, which is really impressive when I think about how much wine was consumed. We had one case of confirmed bronchitis, several painful sunburns and my mom did come precariously close to rumbling with a neighbor group who set up their tent directly in front of ours (and threw fishing lines where the kids were swimming!), but on the whole, it was remarkably relaxing. In fact, the only drama was a live production of “Legally Blonde,” where my 6-year-old niece, in the role of Elle Woods, asked if her toilet-paper boobs were too big. Classic. Nothing else to report, and I can no longer hear gastro rumblings from The Dog. Life is good. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” -Albert Einstein

Editor, The June 18 letter from Marvin B. Scott of Fishers made some good points. I am not African American, but I agree with his request to Shell Corp. in opposition to the selling of Confederate flag stickers at the station near the Saxony Shopping Center in Noblesville. My Irish immigrant ancestors fought on the side of the Union, the United States of America and its Constitution against the Confederate States of America. The Confederate flag was that of traitors who tore apart our nation because they were afraid they might have their right to own and often abuse other human beings interfered with! No person in Indiana, which fought on the side of democracy, should be selling flag stickers of treason! I lived in the South and I liked it and the people there, both black and white but Shell, no excuses for this. Mike Boland, Fishers

“The Confederate flag was that of traitors who tore apart our nation because they were afraid they might have their right to own and often abuse other human beings interfered with! No person in Indiana, which fought on the side of democracy, should be selling flag stickers of treason!”

A few days back, I forgot our anniversary — our 39th. I remembered the first 38, so my record isn’t bad. Our HUMOR anniversary was Friday, and we had planned to attend the Italian Fest and the Talbot Street Art Fair on Saturday to celebrate. The actual date totally slipped my mind on Friday. I left the house that morning with no thought of the special day. When I returned home, I found a sweet anniversary card Mary Ellen had left on my desk, but she was left cardless and flowerless and I was obviously brainless. I think you can understand how I made this error. Saturday’s weather was terrible, but Mary Ellen still wanted to go downtown. She seemed to be in a good mood, but I sensed I was still in the dog house. After we parked, she requested a certain eatery (I didn’t particularly like the place, but I was in no position to assert my preference.). We walked the art fair in a downpour, with only one umbrella. “It’s OK, Mary Ellen, you use it. I enjoy walking in the rain. It’s romantic,” (It’s actually not and I hate getting wet, but remember, I did space out old No. 39). On our way home, Mary Ellen asked if we could stop at her favorite antique store. “Of course,” I said. “I love antique shopping.” I hate it, but I was trying to crawl out of the dog house. That evening, she asked me to clean the cat’s litter box. “Wait a second, I never do that. Angel is your cat.” “No, she’s our cat. Just like we are now celebrating our…” “I know, I know. Where’s the scooper?” Saturday finally ended, after I had yielded to every one of Mary Ellen’s whims and desires. To further make up for my memory lapse, I also promised that for our 40th next year we would travel to Barcelona, a place she has always wanted to visit. Before we fell asleep, she leaned over to kiss me goodnight and whispered, “My birthday is in July. Please let it slip your mind.”

Celebrating 47 Years in Business

2018 ECLIPSE CROSS UP TO

Riverview Health Foundation announced June 10 that it has received a gift of $500,000 from Dave PHILANTHROPY and Jackie Cox, Courtney Cole and Darren and Monica Peck for the expansion of the under-construction Infusion Center expansion at Riverview Health in Noblesville. More than 10,000 patients are treated annually in the Infusion Center. “While the patients receive wonderful care from the dedicated physicians, nurses and staff, the current facility doesn’t offer the right kind of environment,” said Megan Wiles, executive director of Riverview Health Foundation. The expanded Infusion Center will have private rooms, semi-private rooms and community seating to allow patients to select an area based on how they are feeling and availability. The new Infusion Center will have an open floor plan with windows and natural light. Construction is expected to be complete later this year. “As a patient receiving treatment for hours at a time, it would have been wonderful to have windows,” Cole said. “The lighter

colors and outdoor views will help the time pass and make treatment more pleasant.” The Cox, Cole and Peck families have a long history and connection with Riverview Health. Jackie served as the executive director of Riverview Health Foundation from 1988 to 1997. Dave served on the foundation board and as chair in 2011 and 2012. Monica served as a member of the foundation’s philanthropy council, and Courtney has been a patient and advocate for Riverview Health and the foundation for many years. “We are so grateful for the generous support of Dave and Jackie Cox, Courtney Cole and Darren and Monica Peck for this important and impactful project,” Wiles said. “We have several other families, along with the Riverview Health Auxiliary, who have already made naming gifts for this project, but the Cox, Cole and Peck families’ gift is our significant lead gift, and it’s so appropriate given their history and connection to Riverview Health as well as to our community.” The foundation has committed to raise more than $1 million for the expansion of the Infusion Center.

A Next Generation Dunkin’ Donuts shop opened last month at the NOW OPEN corner of Allisonville Road and 116th Street in Fishers. The store is the brand’s first Next Gen location in Indiana. It is at one of the area’s busiest intersections. Fishers’ other Dunkin’ Donuts store is at 8942 E 96th St. District Manager Rodd Papalko said Next Gen Dunkin’ Donuts is a rebranding of sorts. “You know, times are changing,” Papalko said. “Dunkin’ started to realized that the coffee market is moving to millennials, so we’ve kind of rebranded. We asked our customers what they want, and they told us, ‘We don’t want that carnival look you used to have, we want a softer look.’” Papalko said Dunkin’ Donuts leads America in the sale of drip coffee, followed by McDonald’s. Starbucks is No. 1 in the espresso industry. To compete in the latter market, Dunkin’ has introduced new espresso drinks at a lower cost and higher volume than Starbucks.

BEER IS NEAR A guide to some of the best Hamilton County breweries

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

(Above) Union Brewing Company’s 5 oz. pours are only available al a carte. They are $2.50 each. From left, Java Diffie, Triple Zeroes, Under the Table and Fred’s Red Ale. (Left) Upland Carmel Tap House offers a flight of seven, 6 oz. pours for only $9.95. (Photos from Anna Skinner)

With craft beer and local breweries on the rise, here’s a brief guide to some of the best breweries — and what they offer — in Hamilton County.

Union Brewing Company

Address: 622 S Range Line Rd., Carmel Hours: Noon to 9 p.m. Sunday, 4 to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and noon to 1 a.m. Saturday Best beer: Java Diffie Review: I typically am not a dark beer drinker, but this collaboration between Union Brewing Company and Java Coffeehouse really hit my taste buds right. Union Brewing Company serves cask beers, which means the beer’s carbonation occurs naturally. The beer is stored in a cask with sugar, which the beer yeast consumes and then turns the product into a carbonated brew. Cask-brewed beers have a creamier mouthfeel and not as much bite from the carbonation. Since UBC’s brews are unique, I suggest ordering a flight so you can try several at a time. UBC’s samples are sold separately, at $2.50 each, and are 5 oz. pours. I sampled the Java Diffie (my favorite), the Triple Zeroes (very dry, but delicious), Under the Table (a Beligan strong beer, which owner Nathan Doyle describes as “big and boozy”) and Fred’s Red Ale. Website: unionbrewingco.com

Upland Carmel Tap House

Address: 820 E. 116th St., Carmel Hours: Noon to midnight Sunday, 11 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Best beer: Champagne Velvet, a pilsner. Review: Upland’s best deal is definitely its flight of seven 6 oz. beers for $9.95. Five are from Upland’s year-round menu: Dragonfly IPA, Upland Wheat, Champagne Velvet, Campside Pale Ale and Bad Elmer’s Porter. The person ordering gets to pick the other two from the seasonal menu. If it’s available, definitely check out the Latitude Adjustment. Upland has a quiet, beautiful patio that is the best environment to enjoy its excellent beers. Website: uplandbeer.com

Four Day Ray

Address: 11671 Lantern Rd., Fishers Hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday and Monday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. Best beer: Blood Orange Blonde, an American blonde ale Review: Four Day Ray is spacious and an excellent place to go if you want to pair a hearty dinner with locally brewed beer. Website: fourdayray.com

School’s out, kids are home and warm weather is in full swing. Here are some great wines to try. Two WINEderlust whites: a value-driven option and one that’s more splurgey. I’ve also added a red that is nice with a tiny bit of a chill. First, Campuget 1753 Syrah Vermentino. This blushing beauty is a French rosé from the eastern-most appellation of the famed Languedoc region. A dry, feminine wine offering up whiffs of grapefruit and orange. In the mouth, it’s a berry bomb with a bright finish. You can’t help an uplifted mood with a glass of this. Great as a “patio pounder” and also a nice option with strawberry salad or light seafood; 80/20 Syrah/Vermentino, $20ish. Feeling a little fancy? Give Cakebread’s 2017 Sauvignon Blanc a swirl ($39). Gorgeous and perfumey, nose-filled with melon, citrus, jasmine and grapefruit is just the beginning. Ripe melon and grapefruit keep coming to the glass with an interesting hint of lemon

thyme. A lean wine that pairs perfectly with grilled shrimp, crab, artichokes and asparagus. This baby lives up to the hype of its famous moniker. You only drink red? Well, how about trying something interesting that also is appropriate for warm weather? Maison Joseph Drouhin’s 2017 Chorey-Les-Beaune (pinot noir). A bright red wine that smells and tastes a lot like blackberries. As it matures, it begins to boast that lovely French “stinky” that’s a perfect companion to earthy mushroom dishes. Truffled paté, anyone? This wine should continue to improve during the next four or five years. You can give it a tiny bit of a chill before serving or enjoy at room temp. Aged in French oak and deeelish ($33). Elizabeth Morse owned the Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple for nearly to 20 years.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 6515 Carrollton Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Lemon Blueberry Cake Price: $12.95 Anna’s take: The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers is an adorable little shop, adorned with flowers and all things girly, nestled in Broad Ripple that serves up delicious, giant slices of cake. Other menu items, like quiche and sandwiches, also are available. I went for a birthday celebration (my birthday is June 25, which just happens to be when this print edition is published, so feel free to email me and wish me the happiest of days), and ordered a slice of the Lemon Blueberry Cake. As the name implies, it is lemon cake layered with house-made

lemon curd and blueberries. It is decorated with fresh blueberries and is a refreshing, tasty option for those who like fruity cake. Suggested pairings: JCB No. 69 Rose. This is a sparkling, Brut rose French wine. What’s better than pairing bubbles with cake? $13 per glass or $62 for the bottle.
