We are in schools five days a week. We want to make sure what we are teaching is vital information you can carry on with you through life.” Mehling also discussed the water safety program the department conducts in the summer months. “Our goal this summer was to have a drowning-free summer. We failed. We had an older male who drowned out at Geist, but the positive to that is no kids drowned over the summer,” Mehling said. “We go out to apartment complexes, neighborhood pools and teach water safety in a quick, 20-minute program.”
Steve Braun suspends 5th Congressional District campaign for medical reasons By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Zionsville Republican Steve Braun has suspended his campaign for the ELECTION 5th Congressional District because of health concerns. He stated that doctors identified an issue during an annual checkup in September that will require him to step away from the cam-
paign for “the next few months.” He did not specify the diagnosis. “I am both frustrated and disappointed to have to suspend my campaign at this critical juncture,” he stated. “Now more than ever, we need to send individuals to Washington who have the capability, the experience and the willingness to address the problems we face.“ Other Republicans in the race are Indiana State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell, Noblesville pas-
tor Micah Beckwith, fund accountant Danny Niederberger and pediatric doctor Chuck Dietzen. Braun ran for Indiana’s 4th District in 2018, finishing second to Jim Baird in the Republican primary. He served in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2012 to 2014 and was the commissioner of the Indiana Dept. of Workforce Development until 2017.

FPD warns residents of telephone scams – Recently, the Fishers Police Dept. has investigated several types of telephone scams. One of the most recent scams involved a person impersonating a DEA Agent accusing the person of being involved in an illegal drug investigation and demanding they send gift cards in order to clear their name. Many of these telephone scammers instruct the victim to stay on the phone, not tell anyone of the conversation and travel to a store and purchase gift cards or green dot cards for a certain amount. There have been some Fishers residents that have lost thousands of dollars. Here are a few safety tips to follow if contacted by a possible telephone scam should follow if you are contacted by a possible telephone scammer: Immediately hang up the phone if you do not recognize or know the caller, never give out personal information, remember no legitimate company or organization requires payment via gift cards or green dot cards, no law enforcement agency threatens to arrest people over the phone and contact the local law enforcement agency, however most telephone scams originate from overseas and are very difficult, if not impossible, to trace. CrimeWatch app now Relay – Fishers Police Department’s CrimeWatch app, which was established in 2016, is now known as Relay. It has the same features as CrimeWatch, but now it will include a streamlined user interface and improved feedback and updates to residents who submit issues.

Vaping on the rise Commentary by State Rep. Todd Huston (R-Fishers) The Centers for Disease Control is investigating more than 1,000 LEGISLATURE lung injury cases and 18 deaths across the nation, including in Indiana. That is because all those reported patients have a history of using e-cigarettes. In the Hoosier state, e-cigarette use – commonly known as “vaping” – has skyrocketed almost 400 percent during the past six years. The majority of those users are between the ages of 18 and 34. This data is alarming and serves as a wake-up call that more needs to be done to make sure fewer young people choose to use e-cigarettes or vapes. The 2018 Youth Tobacco Survey found roughly 20 percent of high school students vape. As a father of two teenagers, I find this statistic disturbing and I worry how children are exposed to these products, because they are often marketed with fun flavors and packaging. The same survey also found four in 10 Hoosier youth saw tobacco advertisements on the internet, and 70 percent of kids reported seeing the products in convenience stores, gas stations and supermarkets. In response to this data, Gov. Eric Holcomb announced at Fishers High School a new push to encourage young Hoosiers to stop vaping or never start. Part of this initiative includes investing $2.1 million in a social media campaign called “What’s Beyond the Haze.” It also creates a text-to-quit program where Hoosiers looking for help can text “DitchJuul” to 888709 to connect with resources to quit vaping. To further reach young users, state officials are developing educational materials for students, parents and educators detailing the dangers that come with using these products. The trends reported nationwide and in the Hoosier state give us a strong reason to act on this health emergency, and the governor’s new anti-vaping campaign is a positive first step. Looking ahead to the 2020 legislative session, I plan to support efforts to ensure fewer young people choose to vape and encourage more people to stop using these products. For more about risks linked to vaping and to find resources to help those struggling with addiction, visit MyLifeMyQuit.com. Please do not hesitate to contact my office at H37@iga.in.gov if you have any additional questions.

Conner Prairie Director of Affairs Christine DeJoy said the event grows in popularity as Halloween gets closer. “What’s nice too here is how the leaves change,” she said. “If you come to the festival in the beginning of October and decide to come again, it’s almost like two different Conner Prairies. The colors gradually change and it’s just so pretty.” Besides the Headless Horseman attraction, where a “headless” rider on a horse scares hayriders, other activities include a barrel train rides for toddlers, midway games, a Headless Horseman marionette show, spooky storytelling and a 12-acre corn maze. In addition, the Hamilton County Tourism sculpture of the “White River Monster” will be on display. There also will be a make-and-take station near the sculpture for families to make crafts. Per the corn maze, DeJoy suggests older children participate in the scary section at night.
“At night during Headless, the scary section of the maze is activated, so if you’re a bit older, its best,” she said. “It’s not for young kids. It can get a little scary in there. We tried it last year for the first time.” The corn maze and all activities are included with admission to the Headless Horseman. Admission is $13 on Thursdays and Sundays, and $17 on Fridays and Saturdays. Presale tickets, at the same prices, are available online. Gates are open from 6 to 9 p.m., but DeJoy said the hayride can be out until 10 p.m. “Nothing changes, but daylight versus night time adds scare to (the hayride),” DeJoy said. DeJoy said the event has become a Fishers family tradition. “It’s a great way to experience Conner Prairie in a whole new light than if you come during the day for the historical areas. It’s a completely different experience,” she said. “It’s beautiful here at fall with the leaves changing and the colors so vibrant. It’s a great, different way to experience Conner Prairie and also to make family memories. The Headless Horseman festival is a popular tradition in the area.” To purchase advance tickets or see a full list of offerings, visit connerprairie.org.

Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush’s top priority is PUBLIC SAFETY keeping county residents safe. That means stopping the flow of drugs. “With the recent epidemic with heroin and fentanyl and crime and death that we see in our community, it’s something I see for us to continue to address at every front,” Quakebush said. “If we’ve got a significant supply coming into our community, we want to address it as best we can. They are mixing the fentanyl with the heroin to get a better high and it can cause cardiac arrest and death. The majority of drugs that come into Hamilton County are coming across the Mexican border. We estimate 80 percent of it is. “Our drug task force, for instance, when they are working cases, they are working directly with border patrol. We are arresting people from the cartels in Indianapolis and they are sending new people back to replace them almost immediately.” Quakenbush recently joined five other Indiana sheriffs and nearly 200 sheriffs from across the nation in Washington, D.C., to support secure borders and safe communities. During the Sept. 25-26 event, Quakenbush met with many state and federal legislators and federal law enforcement agencies, attended an administrative briefing and panel discussions with the Dept. of Justice and the Dept. of Homeland security and attended a White House briefing followed by a meeting with President Donald Trump. “I’m encouraged by the federal law enforcement agencies and their willingness to

work with us on any investigations or help us with any of our needs,” Quakenbush said. The Indiana contingent met with Indiana Sens. Todd Young and Mike Braun. Quakenbush said the group also met with legislators to discuss the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance to states and localities for costs incurred for incarcerating undocumented criminal aliens. Quakenbush said the problem of human trafficking was another main topic. “Some of the statistics they provided in the briefing were just incredible, something like at least 30 percent of girls are raped traveling to the United States,” he said. “The border patrol agents and even some making traffic stops in Oklahoma are making stops where cartels are driving across the border where no one in the car knows anyone else. You have young men or women in the vehicles (and they) have no idea who they are with and where they are going. Their families had just sent them across. It’s a huge concern.”

GROWING A CITY Fadness, others speak on Fishers’ success, development
By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Mayor Scott Fadness, Economic Development Director COVER STORY Megan Baumgartner and Launch Fishers founder John Wechsler took part in one of several panel discussions conducted Sept. 26 by Indy REAL, (Real Estate Ascension Leaders), at TopGolf in Fishers. The panel theme was “Building a Plane while in Flight.” Fadness, Baumgartner and Wechsler discussed several construction projects in the city and what it took to get Fishers where it is today. They also talked about the city’s vision, which is to be smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial. Fadness said developments alone aren’t responsible for the city’s success. “With TopGolf, The Yard, we have about $400 million in real estate development in our downtown urban core, but that in itself, if that is all we did, it would not be enough to sustain the community,” he said. “We had to build an entrepreneurial and vibrant economic environment in the City of Fishers, and honestly, I think that’s what truly sets us apart. Everybody and their uncle are building mixed-use developments. I mean, you can go to any community and they’re trying to build a mixed-use development with apartments on top and retail on the first floor. “How you build a diverse economic base to support those is the true recipe for long-term sustainability of our city.” Fadness said part of Fishers’ success is achieved by aligning what residents want with what the business community wants. “In the industrial age, the things manufacturing facilities want are entirely different than the things somebody would want to live next to,” he said. “Today, liv-
ing next to a technology company is fine. In places, we can double-down things, align with what residents would want and what businesses would want. That’s the thing we should focus on.” Wechsler said the mayor and city council work more like a CEO and board than traditional local govenrment. “What I see in what the mayor has done, what the council has provided and what this community has done for Fishers is, they all believe obviously in this movement, but our chief executive here has a board behind him that believes in this vision and enables him and empowers him to move forward in decision making and policies to support this entrepreneurial environment,” Wechsler said. “I would say probably the most important thing, aside from getting the right person for the (mayor’s) job, (is) choosing the ‘smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial’ as the lenses with which we are going to look at our community. It’s been unbelievable. That allows our education system, that allows our nonprofit community, that allows the business community, everyone, to use the same lenses.” Wechsler said creating an environment for entrepreneurs and innovators to flourish is they key to attracting businesses. During the panel discussion, Fadness said his only regret was not issuing a bond for downtown development several years ago, when costs weren’t spiking. “If we had had the foresight, we would’ve bought as much property as possible and then developed it,” Fadness said. Wechsler, however, lauded the city’s approach to growth. “One thing I’ll say we’ve done pretty well is, we have identified our swim lanes early and stayed in them,” he said.

LETTER Budget concerns
Holiday beacon Commentary by Terry Anker Even as the last days of summerlike sun warm our Hoosier families, thoughts begin to turn toward the coming winter. Merchants, eager to edge out the competition, have already begun squawking about the impending holiday seasons. Forgive this column’s intrusion into an already crowded field of gate jumpers, too eager to skip this lovely season in anticipation of the next, but one holiday tradition stands to be revived and renewed just this year. Thanks to the remarkable generosity of John Deere farm and lawn equipment impresario Gary Reynolds and his wife, Cindy, the decades-long run (beginning in 1955, reflecting the love of the season with Gary’s parents Mac and Arline) held at the company’s former headquarters at Ind. 37 and I-465 will be continued with a new partnership and locale. Conner Prairie living history museum will now host the elaborate displays as a part of its new “A Merry Prairie Holiday,” from Nov. 29 to Dec. 29. Reynolds and his family are well-known for their support of our communities, and this gift is no exception. Much planning and consideration has been given on how to best preserve the celebration, attract visitors to enjoy a new seasonal favorite at Conner Prairie while not burdening the nonprofit with the considerable effort of hosting the spectacular. As we struggle to take in the lights, now counting north of 1 million, we are able to make food donations along the way. This year, a familiar beacon — new to Conner Prairie — will light the season, and we’ll be there to see it. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Road rudeness drives me crazy Commentary by Danielle Wilson I have had it with mean drivers! And I’m petrified for my youngest, who recently obtained her permit. I’ve done the math: Her bad driving plus strangers’ HUMOR mean driving equals multiple insurance claims. Take my recent trip to Columbus, Ohio. In an effort to garner Favorite Aunt status, I drove six hours roundtrip to see a niece belt out “When You Wish Upon a Star” in her fifth-grade musical. I made the first leg without incident but hit trouble almost immediately during my return. First, there were the three cars that refused to let me into their lane because I had not been duped into merging 2 miles earlier. Friends, it’s called a zipper merge because you are supposed to continue all the way to the point of the closure, not get over immediately while you are still five towns back. Pretending not to see me as they kissed
the car butts in front of them was just plain mean. It’s not my fault you’re a sucker! Next, there were the two obnoxious truckers who drove side-by-side at 7 mph for 20 frustrating minutes this side of the Indiana border. No construction, no emergencies and no one in front of them. What the flip? I honked my horn. I tried to go around. I even called their company numbers. All to no avail. Eventually, the semis moved on, but seriously? Why would they deliberately slow down traffic like that? Why? Because they are mean. Look, I’ve got a new driver on the roads. She’s going to need patience and a wide berth from each of you. Please don’t be mean! I can’t afford it! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” — Napoleon Hill
Editor, It is any mayor’s responsibility to clearly announce proposed tax increases and defend their necessity to taxpayers. Unfortunately, I do not believe Mayor (Scott) Fadness lived up to this responsibility when presenting the 2020 Municipal Budget at the September Fishers City Council meeting. Many things concerned me about Mayor Fadness’s presentation, including: • He did not acknowledge that this would be the fifth consecutive year of increases to the property tax rate in Fishers. • He offered no proof that a tax rate hike is necessary despite higher tax revenues generated by the projected increase in property values alone. • He delivered the presentation with his backside to the public, facing a city council prepared to rubber stamp his agenda. If I am elected to city council, I would demand that the presentation of proposed municipal budgets be considerate to taxpayers. The mayor should stand facing residents, clearly explain his proposal and explicitly ask for residents’ support. Tax increases are serious. They deserve a serious and honest dialogue between city and residents. Unfortunately, residents missed the opportunity provided by the council to speak out on this proposal at a public hearing. But it’s not too late to contact your councilor and share your concerns. Jocelyn Vare, candidate for Fishers City Council, At-Large

Hard pass on the guinea pig Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Brett and Mary Ellen and I just returned from a fabulous vacation in Peru (South America, not Indiana). We flew HUMOR to Miami (Florida, not Ohio) where we had a 13-hour layover, which is like a sleepover, but without jammies and a blankie. What do you do for 13 hours at the Miami International Airport? I wanted to wander around, but I was afraid I’d get lost. I didn’t want to be MIA at MIA. To pass the time, I did a little exercising. My most innovative workout was to walk on the moving walkway in the opposite direction, simulating my treadmill at home. I was doing well until this really attractive flight attendant walked by and I slingshot backwards into an Auntie Anne’s pretzel stand. After a long flight, we landed in Lima (Peru, not Ohio). Our ultimate destination was Machu Picchu, called the Lost City. I hope the people who lived there in the 1400s didn’t feel that way. I mean, it was right there when they got out of bed. They couldn’t have been that bad with directions. Each evening, our guide sent an email telling us when to get up, what time to
have breakfast and what we were going to do the next day. Big deal. I get a text like that every morning from Mary Ellen. The Wolfsies avoided one traditional food: guinea pig on a stick. This delicacy would make anything on a stick at the Indiana State Fair seem more appealing. One day, we visited an alpaca farm. That evening, the menu included alpaca stew. I couldn’t eat that dish after seeing these adorable animals, but I do love my new alpaca sweater. When we returned home, there was a block party going on and Mary Ellen was showing our neighbors the elegant necklace and bracelet she bought in Cusco, a thriving city about 45 miles from Machu Picchu. Unfortunately, they thought she said Costco, and that took a lot of the charm away from the story. We’re already discussing plans for next year’s adventure. My wife is thinking Costa Rica. I am thinking Brazil (Indiana, not South America).

Health fair returns for second year By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com For the past two years, Mended Hearts, a nonprofit that supports EVENT heart patients and their families, has worked to donate automated external defribrillators, or AEDs, to other nonprofits and organizations in Hamilton County. But a lesser-known mission of chapter members, who meet monthly at Riverview Health in Noblesville, is to bring services and raise health awareness by presenting a free adult health fair with Partnership for Healthy Hamilton County and Christ’s Community Church. The fair will return to Christ’s Community Church at 131st Street and Allisonville Road in Fishers from 1 to 5 p.m. Oct. 26. Marv Norman, president of Mended Hearts, said last year’s event was a success after nearly 200 people attended and more than 20 organizations took part. “We’ve expanded to more than 30 infor-
mational booths with a variety of testing and free drawings for prizes,” Norman said. “All testing is free. We will have testing for total cholesterol, blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose (diabetes), body mass index, hearing and an EKG.” In addition to testing, Norma said flu shots will be offered by CVS for a fee, and insurance can be used. “The flu is especially dangerous for heart patients as it can make heart and other preexisting conditions worse,” Norman said. “The emphasis (of the fair) is on saving lives and helping adults manage their lives. We will cover heart, diabetes, health insurance, hearing, exercise, therapy, senior living, Alzheimer’s, sleeping assistance, Meals on Wheels, scam prevention, hospice and more.” Door prize and grand prize drawings will round out the event. Admission and participation is free, but to be eligible for the grand prize drawing, attendees must visit a designated number of booths.
Bleeding could signal disorder Commentary by Sweta Gupta It’s commonly believed that women and girls can’t have bleeding SCREENING disorders. People often think only boys and men experience compromised clotting (the body’s natural ability to stop bleeding). But women and girls can have bleeding disorders, and their first symptom could be heavier-than-normal menstrual bleeding, which can pose significant issues. If not addressed, an undiagnosed bleeding disorder could present a host of challenges in the event of an accident, surgical procedure, pregnancy or drug interaction. Heavy menstrual bleeding (HBM) symptoms include: • Period lasting longer than seven days • Soaking through a pad or tampon in 1-2 hours • Passing clots larger than the size of a quarter • Iron deficiency, anemia, or need for blood transfusion • Missing days of school or work due to bleeding In September 2019, the American Col-
lege of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said teens with HBM should be screened for bleeding disorders. While bleeding disorders affect 1 to 2 percent of the general population, they’re found in approximately 20 percent of adolescent girls who are evaluated for HBM and in 33 percent of adolescent girls hospitalized for HBM, wrote members of the ACOG Committee on Adolescent Health Care in the opinion, published in Obstetrics & Gynecology. The Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center in Indianapolis, 8326 Naab Rd, offers a Girls Only Clinic to screen adolescent girls, ages 11 to 18, with HBM for bleeding disorders. The clinic offers the combined expertise of a pediatric hematologist and an adolescent medicine specialist twice a month. If a bleeding disorder is diagnosed, comprehensive care and regular follow up is provided at IHTC. For more, visit ihtc.org/girlsonly.

DISPATCHES Courts improve protection order procees - People who find themselves in need of a protection order may now request one from anywhere they can access the internet. A new Protection Order E-filing service is now available to individuals, advocates, and attorneys. The new service is for adults and children who need protection from domestic or family violence, stalking, sex offenses, or harassment. People seeking protection can use the service to request it any time of day, any day of the week, from the privacy and comfort of a safe space, without having to go to the courthouse. E-filing is already available in all 92 Indiana counties for most case types, and attorneys are required to efile using one of the state’s certified e-filing service providers. This new e-filing service provider (developed by the Indiana Supreme Court’s Trial Court Technology) complies with the Violence Against Women Act, interfaces with state and federal criminal databases, and is free to use. The Protection Order E-filing service is available at public. courts.in.gov/porefsp and is listed as one of the 12 available e-filing service providers at courts.in.gov/efile.
Free FAFSA filing assistance - Financial aid professionals will be volunteering at 37 sites in Indiana to help college-bound students and their families open the door to financial aid during College Goal Sunday. The event is set for 2 p.m. Nov. 3. The free program assists Indiana students in filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA form is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships and student loans at most colleges, universities and vocational/technical schools nationwide. The FAFSA must be filed by April 15, 2020 to be eligible for Indiana financial aid. College Goal Sunday is important because completing this required form correctly and by the deadline is sometimes perceived to be complicated and time consuming. In less than one afternoon at a College Goal Sunday event, students and their families can get free help and file the form online. College Goal Sunday is a charitable program of the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association (ISFAA). Indiana assistance locations in Indianapolis are: Arsenal Technical High School; George Washington Community High School; Beech Grove High School; Center for Leadership Development; and Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis and Avon.

CCP presents ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The iconic movie “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” has always been a favorite of Jan Jamison. PLAY So naturally, the Westfield resident and director wanted to bring the play adaptation to the stage. The 1967 movie featured Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier in the lead roles. “Spencer Tracy died just 2 1/2 weeks after they concluded filming and they all knew he was sick,” Jamison said. “The emotions are very real, especially (Hepburn’s) face and reaction. The acting is superb. We don’t want to copy Tracy, Hepburn and Poitier. We want to have our own (portrayals).” Carmel Community Players will present “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel, this month. Like the movie, the play is set in 1967 when a daughter brings an older, black doctor she is dating home to meet her white parents. “It was a bit of a shock,” Jamison said. “They are a very liberal family, so they are faced with their own convictions of nonprejudice. It’s still pertinent today.” Natalie Weber, a 2014 Guerin Catholic High School graduate who grew up in Fishers, is playing Joanna Drayton, the daughter. “I was getting aggravated because I couldn’t find anything for me, but I saw they were going to have a role for someone 23, which is my age right now,” Weber said. “I was excited because I thought I could do this role. It’s a drama and a comedy. In college, I did improv comedy, so I’m used to more comedic roles. But since this one is more serious it will be interesting and challenging for me.” Weber knew the premise of the movie. “Jan got the cast together to watch the movie, which I thought was a really great way to get that camaraderie with the cast,” Weber said. At the time, interracial marriage was still against the law in 17 states until struck down by a Supreme Court ruling in June 1967, shortly after the movie was

filmed. Indianapolis resident Onis Dean plays Dr. John Prentice. Dean said he acts in musicals 95 percent of the time. “My parents grew up loving Sidney Poitier, so when Jan saw me in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar,’ (with Mud Creek Players) she said I should at least come and audition,” Dean said. When he came in for the reading, Dean said he fell in love with the powerful script. John D. Carver, Greenwood, is playing the role of Matt Drayton. It is his first show with CCP for the veteran community theater performer. Carver was attracted to the role because of his admiration for Tracy. “I’ve done ‘Inherit the Wind’ and a couple of other things that (Tracy has) done,” Carver said. “I like the man. I like his style. I like his acting technique. This has been one of my favorite movies to watch over the years, so when I saw the auditions, I jumped at the chance.” Marie McNelis, an Indianapolis resident, portrays Christina Dayton. McNelis acted in high school and college but only returned to acting a year ago.
“I was a speech and drama major in college,” McNelis said. “I put that on the shelf, then I retired and decided I wanted to dust that off and start up. Jan gave me my first role at Buck Creek Players in ‘37 Postcards.’” McNelis said Jamison alerted her to the auditions for the role. “I was in my freshman year in college when this came out, and I was just bowled over first by the subject matter and the wonderful acting done by Spencer Tracy and the underacting that was done by Katharine Hepburn,” she said. Westfield resident Lisa Warner plays Hillary St. George, who works with Christina Drayton at the art gallery. Warner said it’s not a pleasant role to play because of her racism, but it’s essential to the storyline. “I won’t even shake Dr. Prentice’s hand when he offers it,” Warner said of the racist nature of her character. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26 and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 20 and 27. Tickets are $15 for students and seniors and $17 for adults. For more or to buy tickets, visit carmelplayers.org.

Local chefs in national spotlight By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Justin Miller, executive chef of Carmel’s Anthony’s Chophouse and 3UP, will have a chance to show his skills at a national competition. COMPETITION Miller was named to Team Indiana, a group of Hoosier chefs and home cooks heading to Dallas to compete in the Oct. 16-20 World Food Championships. Miller received his golden ticket to the WFC by winning the Taste of Piazza 2019 competition in Indianapolis. He will be assisted at the competition by Evan Slusher, Anthony’s Chophouse’s executive sous chef. Slusher, a 2011 Noblesville High School graduate, also assisted Miller in the Taste of Piazza in August at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The duo prepared a turkey dish. “It’s a unique opportunity to show not just the cooking side of Indiana but Indiana products,” Miller said. Miller said the golden ticket put the duo in one of 10 categories. “We’ll be in the recipe category,” Miller said. “Our first round is decided for us. We have to make a vegan dish. Our second

round, we will present our signature dish. Out of the 60 competitors in our category, the top 10 are selected, if we are fortunate enough to get that far.” There are 1,500 competitors in the 10 categories, and 10 winners will later compete for $100,000.
Time for sweater-weather wine Commentary by Elizabeth Morse Pulling out sweaters and jeans this week has reminded me that with the change in weather, new, bolder WINEderlust wine selections are in order. With cool temps, we often want something that’s going to “warm us up.” In wine-speak, that translates into heavier-bodied, full-flavored reds. There’s a great little wine shop at the northeast corner of 116th and Olio Road in Fishers called Tasteful Times. You can find each of the wines I’ll mention there. It also has a fun selection of artisanal local fare, which I love. Tell ‘em I sent you. One of my very favorite varietals is inky, toffee-full Petit Sirah. For me, fall is permission to indulge! McManis ($12) makes this scrumptious, value-driven bottle. Dark black fruit is nearly overpowered with caramel and cocoa. Think about a dried blueberry covered in dark chocolate Milk Duds. The flavors are big, the finish is long and the price is low. If you’ve never given Petit Sirah a try, this is a great jumping-off point. 2017 Fidelity Red Wine Crazy Creek, Alexander Valley, will set you back a little more
than $15. A Bordeaux-style blend (merlot, petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon) is a great value from California. The merlot contributes flavors of ripe blueberries and cordial cherries. The cabernet adds structure and a nice long finish while the petit verdot brings color, tannin and a pretty whiff of violets to the table. New French Oak adds warm vanilla to this bright little number. Vindicated Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County ($18) stands out as a deal. If you’ve traveled to this area, you’ll know what I mean when I say that this wine “smells” like Sonoma. Bright and brambly right off the bat (think ripe with blackberries and raspberries) with a little cocoa and lots of warm wood in the background. And the tiniest hint of eucalyptus. Medium tannins and strong structure with 14.4 percent ABV will warm you right up. Elizabeth Morse owned the Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple for nearly to 20 years. She is a graduate of IU, is a Hoosier chef, food writer, wine guru and Hamilton County Master Gardener. Morse has been a resident of Hamilton County for more than a decade.

A very over-used word Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
The Burnt House in Jerusalem. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Horrors in the Burnt House Commentary by Don Knebel Jerusalem’s so-called “Burnt House” shows the horrors that befell Jewish families when first-century Roman TRAVEL soldiers brutally put down the First Jewish Revolt. In the fall of 66 A.D., Jewish rebels managed to expel the hated Romans from Jerusalem and began extending their influence throughout Roman Judea. Emperor Nero dispatched 60,000 troops to the area, commanded by generals Vespasian and Titus. On August 29, 70 A.D., after a long and deadly siege, Titus and his troops broke down the walls and entered Jerusalem. They set fire to the city, destroying the Second Temple. The historian Josephus, who had led Jewish forces against the Romans, later reported that there were 1.1 million casualties from the First Jewish Revolt, most of them Jewish. The horrors of the Roman siege and the burning of Jerusalem came to life after Israel gained control of East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War and began excavating the Jewish Quarter. In 1970, archaeologists uncov-
ered the remains of a four-room manor on Mount Zion, once the home of Jerusalem’s elite because of its proximity to the Temple. A stone weight found among the ashes identified the owner of the house as the Katros family, a family of Second Temple priests. Coins dated the destruction to the time of the First Jewish Revolt. Also found in the kitchen were the forearm bones of a young woman, killed in the fire. In another room, archaeologists uncovered an iron spear, presumably used by a Jewish fighter living in the house. Oil lamps and other household items were buried among the rubble. Today, the Burnt House is open to the public. In accordance with Jewish law, the bones of the young woman have been buried, but the house contains a picture of them. The spear still stands poignantly in the corner where it was discovered. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY IN Property Group, LLC (10150 Lantern Road, Suite 250; Fishers, IN 46037) is submitting an NOI letter to notify the Indiana Department of Environmental Management of the intent to comply with the requirements under 327 IAC 15-5 (Rule 5) to discharge storm water from construction activities for the following project: Sunlight Drive Office Park in Delaware Township, Hamilton, County Indiana, more specifically, part of the NE quarter of Section 12-T17N-R4E; located on the south side of Sunlight Drive just west of the intersection with Lantern Road. Construction is scheduled to commence on November 15, 2019 and construction is to be completed on or before December 31, 2021. Stormwater runoff from the project site will discharge via subsurface storm sewers into an existing stormwater detention facility which outlets into the Margaret O’Brien Regulated Drain flowing to Cheeney Creek ultimately discharging into to the White River. Questions can be directed to Mr. Steve Mattingly, 10150 Lantern Road, Suite 250; Fishers, IN 46037.
“Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it, and the writing will be just as it should be.” GRAMMAR GUY -Mark Twain Here’s the scene: You offer to drive to lunch, and, just before everyone gets in, you make a mad sweep around your car, grabbing old to-go cups and discarded wrappers and putting them in an old Wendy’s bag. Maybe that’s not you; perhaps your car is somewhat tidier. Regardless, just as everyone gets into your car, you commence with the obligatory statement that goes something like this: “Sorry, my car is such a mess. It’s very dirty. I’ve been meaning to vacuum it out for the past six years.” Whether our car interiors are clean or not, we all repeat a version of the obligatory apology when we give someone else a ride. Guess what? It’s unnecessary. You have permission to quit apologizing. Here’s a word we don’t need to say anymore: very. “The book was very funny.” “The Olympian jumped very high.” “The president was very upset.” Boring.
If “very” is overused, as I suggest, what alternatives do we have? Let me propose two options. First, simply omit the word and proceed with your sentence as usual. As Mr. Twain suggests, you should simply search your entire document (when writing) or somehow audit your brain for words it knows (when speaking), then merely delete the word from your entire lexicon. You don’t need to say or write “very” if you’re using it as a “filler” or “padding” word. The same thing goes for the word “really.” Really. Rather than saying something is “very fast,” say it was “quick.” If you want to convey that something is “very good,” instead say that it is “superb.” Don’t say “very hungry.” “Ravenous” is much more interesting. Substituting the word “very” will infuse your speech with the exact intensity or tone you want. So, either stop saying “very” or find a better word.
