All you need is love. Proposal raises concerns about traffic impact at Keystone, 136th St. By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com As the Carmel City Council considers rezoning 60 acres northeast of Keystone Parkway and 136th Street for DEVELOPMENT new homes and multifamily units, neighbors and councilors alike are concerned about the potential traffic impact on the nearby intersection. Carmel-based Old Town Companies is proposing approximately 100 single-family homes and 100 townhomes/condos on the parcel, which also contains a historic house that will be preserved. The city council held a public hearing on the project at its Feb. 4 meeting. Developers are working with A&F Engineering to design an intersection at the neighborhood entrance that will have the least amount of impact on the 136th Street and Keystone Parkway roundabout, which is immediately west of the development and is the only one in Carmel controlled by a light system during peak hours. Babette Miller, a resident of the nearby Smokey Ridge neighborhood, said that with 12 acres on the south side of 136th Street directly across from the proposed neighborhood also for sale, she’s concerned about the amount of development that could potentially occur in a “really tiny area.” The southern parcel is listed for $1.25 million and is described on the Century 21 website as a “development opportunity” with a maximum density of 3.9 lots per acre. “(Keystone Parkway and 136th Street) is a flawed intersection to begin with for the amount of traffic that’s there. It does impact quality of life, although not enough you’re going to move,” Miller said. “I’m asking you to be a visionary to figure out this traffic roundabout.” Matt Brown of A&F Engineering said at the meeting that a standalone roundabout or extension of the existing roundabout at Keystone Parkway and 136th Street to line up with the neighborhood entrance are the most likely solutions. He said a two-way stop is not a viable option because it would likely stack vehicles

into the Keystone roundabout when drivers are waiting to turn left into the neighborhood. “That’s the last thing we wanted,” he said. Brown said the proposed development “isn’t a real heavy traffic generator.” A&F Engineering estimates that the Old Town project would lead to 34 additional vehicles entering and 109 vehicles exiting the development during the morning peak traffic hour, with 113 additional vehicles entering and 68 exiting it during the afternoon peak hour. A traffic study has not yet been conducted. City Engineer Jeremy Kashman stated in an email Feb. 6 the city will consider several factors as it works with developers to determine the best design for traffic flow in the area. “With this proposed project as well as the completion of the Lowe’s Way ramp there will be some changes in the traffic pattern, so those are all things we will be taking into account as we work through the details,” Kashman stated. Several councilors said they would like to see more information on how the proposed development would affect traffic and the nearby intersection. The council sent the matter to the Land Use and Special Studies committee, which has not announced a meeting date.

As a former U.S. Marine, Al flew combat helicopters into the jungles of Vietnam. Over five decades later, he began battling a series of heart complications which proved just as dangerous.

Through minimally invasive surgery, Al underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at Community. Via a stent, Al’s aortic valve was replaced with the heart valve from a cow.

Synagogue installs Islamic art By Sam Elliott • news@currentincarmel.com Congregation Beth Shalom moved into its new building at 849 W. 96th St. last year and has since been working to FAITH decorate its new home. The latest piece of art displayed in the synagogue sanctuary made its debut during Shabbat services Jan. 11 and represents a meaningful co-mingling of faiths as Jews and Muslims came together to celebrate their similarities. “The Path,” by Muslim artist Salma Taman, found its way to the Jewish synagogue thanks to the artist’s friendship with congregation member Jennifer Warriner. “Working on her painting, we discovered as people of two different faiths we have so much in common,” Taman said. “I appreciated her knowledge and also the fact that she shares the same ideas about faith as me. Every time we spoke, we got closer and we realized, ‘Why do we make a fuss about the small details that really don’t matter? The core beliefs are the same.’” The artwork incorporates a Quranic passage in Arabic, which translates to “call to the path of God through wisdom and beautiful preaching.”

“So, it’s perfect for a house of worship,” Taman said. When Warriner, a Carmel resident, mentioned the idea of hanging “The Path” in the synagogue, Taman was skeptical the rest of the congregation would be, as she put it, “as crazy as us.” But the Beth Shalom family welcomed Taman and her work with open arms. “It was very well received, both the artwork and the idea of what we were doing with sharing our space and sharing our time together,” Rabbi Stanley Halpern said.

There is good reason why Alice Dye was dubbed the First Lady of Golf Architecture. Dye, who died at IN MEMORIAM age 91 Feb. 1 in Delray Beach, Fla., was a state champion amateur golfer who helped her husband, Pete Dye, design several championship golf courses, including Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel. “Alice was an amazing woman, a great golfer and a better friend,” said Nancy Fitzgerald, a top amateur golfer herself. “She was a giver. She gave everything she could to Pete in designing ideas and development of ladies’ tees, so women could play the game and enjoy it. That was her big concern, that people love the game. She changed golf for women, for sure.” The Dyes have a home on the 18th hole at Crooked Stick. Fitzgerald and her husband, Ed, have lived two houses away for the past 10 years. The longtime friends would often socialize and golf together. Dye, an Indianapolis native, won nine Indiana Women’s Golf Association State Amateur titles. She captured the 1978 and 1979 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship.
Longtime friends Alice Dye, left, and Nancy Fitzgerald enjoyed golfing together. (Submitted photo)
Tony Pancake, Crooked Stick director of golf and club operations, said the Dyes would often ride the golf cart around the course taking notes. “She had a lot of suggestions for Pete on how holes should play, where the women’s tees should be, just so that all players could enjoy playing the course,” Pancake said. There will be a celebration of life Feb. 20 in Gulf Stream, Fla., near the Dyes’ second home in Delray Beach, and a second celebration of life from 2 to 5 p.m. May 29 at Crooked Stick.

As the Carmel Clay Public Library celebrates 20 years in its building at 55 4th Ave. SE in 2019, its director reported on a recordbreaking 2018 at the Feb. 4 UPDATE Carmel City Council meeting. Circulation was at an alltime high last year, with nearly 2.2 million items checked out. “That’s really an astounding amount for the size of this community,” said CCPL Director Bob Swanay, adding that he’d expect to see numbers at a quarter or half of that amount in a city Carmel’s size. Approximately 10 percent of the items circulated were in a digital format, a number that’s more than doubled in the last five years. The library soon expects to offer Kanopy, a service that streams independent and documentary films, to cardholders free of charge. The mobile library also saw growth in 2018, with a record 21,614 items circulated at a record 1,144 stops. The library’s Digital Media Lab at 23 E. Main St. drew 17 percent more visits in its second year, and 3-D printing volume in-

creased approximately 93 percent, in part because the lab expanded from one to three printers. Because of the interest in 3-D printing, the library will host a 3-D Printing Expo from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 2 in its program room. Swanay also outlined major projects planned for 2019, including the library’s first branch, which will open at 12770 Horseferry Rd. in a 3,500-square foot building that previously housed a grocery store. He said he is hoping the branch will be open in the fall but is confident it will be ready by the end of the year. “This is going to be one of the more visually interesting branch locations that I’ve

seen,” said Swanay, who displayed new renderings of the building’s planned interior. The library also is working through major renovations at its main campus, which will likely include moving the often-cramped program room to the south side of the building near the parking lot and moving the teen area near the current site of the program room. Swanay said the renovation project is in its early phases and that he hopes to update the city council on more specific plans when they are available. Learn more at carmel.lib.in.us.

Carmel couple helps service dogs deliver Valentines to benefit ICAN By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com It seems fitting that Suzanne and Mark Robinson got involved with the Indiana Canine Assistant Network. The Carmel couple is on the Puppy COVER STORY Love Valentines committee and will deliver Valentines with ICAN service dogs for the third consecutive year. The Robinsons were impacted by the program long before knowing the organization’s name. Suzanne’s late mother had a rare condition that caused her muscles to atrophy, and she needed help to support herself. Her late father had Parkinson’s disease. “When she lost muscle in her legs and thighs she couldn’t get out of a chair without someone to help her or a table to lean on,” Suzanne said. “Someone knew there were service animals who don’t graduate and are really well-trained but can’t be placed in a program like ICAN, so my parents ended up adopting a black Labrador named Ranger about 15 years ago. He was big boy. He was trained to brace his body. She would call him and he would stiffen his body so she could use him like a table so she could get out of her chair. He could get lights on. He would get mail for them. He was a loyal pet. The only reason he didn’t graduate is because he barked at cars. We didn’t know the name of the organization since my sister arranged it.” About 10 years later, Suzanne met ICAN founder Sally Irvin at a different fundraiser. After speaking with Irvin about her parents’ dog, Irvin realized that she had trained Ranger as a puppy. Once the dogs are older, they receive training by offenders at Pendleton Correctional Facility for men and the Indiana Women’s Prison in Indianapolis. “She had puppy pictures of Ranger she sent, and we framed them and sent them to my parents,” Suzanne said. “The woman invited us to (the service dog) graduation at the prison, and once you go there, you are hooked. The inmate handlers talk about training. One woman said no living being has expressed love for her until she trained this dog. It’s very emotional. The inmate handlers talk about how they did something to cause pain to someone and they can’t take away that pain, but they can help take pain away for someone else.” Valentines’ gift boxes are delivered by volunteers and an ICAN service dog, primarily Labradors or golden retrievers,

Prior to his IndyCar job, Mark Robinson worked several years in public relations for Firestone’s racing program. Suzanne has worked at the Indianapolis 500 as part of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway media staff or in public relations for a racing team. That love was shared by their oldest son, Mitch, a 2013 Guerin Catholic and 2017 Ball State graduate, who serves as public relations manager for Tickford Racing in the Supercars series in Australia. Their younger son, Cooper, a 2015 Guerin Catholic graduate, is a senior basketball manager for Purdue’s basketball team. So, the Robinsons, who have been married 31 years, attend several Purdue games a year. Both sons grew up Purdue fans, as it is Mark’s alma mater. As youngsters, Mitch and Cooper did TV interviews displaying their racing knowledge. Suzanne, a Franklin College graduate, has an affinity for Franklin’s The Historic Aircraft Theatre. The couple sponsored the screening of “Pillow Talk” in January. In 2020, the Robinsons will sponsor “Space Jam” and “Lover Come Back.” “In the past, they’ve shown an Elvis (Presley) movie in January, and I’ve dressed up as Elvis for it,” Mark said. “We figured if Elvis wasn’t on the schedule we had to sponsor ‘Pillow Talk.’”

or a puppy in training. Orders for 2019 were accepted through Feb. 8. Boxes cost $55 and contain, among other items, cookies, candies, chocolates, a Valentine’s card, ICAN greeting cards, dog treats and a bracelet made by female prison inmates. The cost to train a dog for the twoyear ICAN program is $26,000, which is paid through donations, grants and fundraisers. “It’s so much fun to take the dogs into the place and see how emotional the recipients get when they get a gift box from their spouse,” Mark said. Suzanne said it’s a win-win for everyone. “It’s so much better than getting a dozen roses,” she said. “You’re in the office and someone comes up with a sweet dog or puppy. For a volunteer, it’s one of the best days of the year because you get to make someone happy all day and you get to spend time with a sweet, brilliant dog.” The Robinsons applied their marketing, communications and media relations experience to help ICAN as well. Mark is a senior manager of editorial content for the IndyCar Series, and Suzanne is communications director for Crowe. Crowe has sponsored an ICAN puppy, which the company named Freddy in memory of late founder Fred Crowe. For more, visit icandog.org.

ESSAY Fixing bias
LETTER
Professional driver should be considered
Commentary by Terry Anker “As we forgive them that trespass against us…” holds the line from one of the most often recited prayers of the modern era. Originally published in 1611, the 14-line, 70-word devotion encourages us to remember the simple rules of a civilized life. Remember that we are subservient to a higher power. Remember that food and security are not assured. Remember that we are frail and easily tempted to our own destruction and that vengeance benefits not us or those against whom we might seek it. But in a world where many have replaced a Sunday morning reciting of the Lord’s Prayer with an endless watching of the Sunday political shows, our collective conscience seems to have moved from one of self-restraint to one of aggressive demands for retribution. Surely, if not retaliatory, the various talking heads seem to foment a sense of clannish entitlement: “We are wronged. You are taking my stuff/ dignity/position/whatever, and we will fight you to get it back.” A well-respected local arts organization recently announced its intention to adhere to 50/50 by 2020 – a plan designed to reach “parity” in the arts. All voices, if worthy, should be heard. Still, if one is to understand the thinking, because there has been bias, real or perceived, in who is getting selected to volunteer, to exhibit, to evaluate, then we must consider an institutionalized system of bias to stop bias. An eye for an eye and all that thinking. Art has long been filtered by wealth and power. Is it possible that talent matters but only as a subset of what is allowed to be seen? Still, can we expect or hope that an institutionalized bias is the tool used to fix institutionalized bias? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Let snow, let it snow, let it snow Commentary by Danielle Wilson I survived the Polar Vortex of 2019! And what’s more, I was able to reflect on how far I’ve come as a mother. HUMOR Remember the Snowpocalypse of 2014? For those of you still suffering from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Snow Disorder), recall that five years ago we had a winter break that was extended by essentially seven days thanks to a blizzard and record-low temps. I was literally trapped indoors with a moody 15-year-old, bickering twin 12-year olds and a precocious 9-year old for three full weeks. Each night, I would offer up several Hail Marys, burn incense and sacrifice a chicken cordon bleu in hopes that someone, somewhere, would get the schools open. Scrabble and breakfast for dinner can take you only so far before Legos start looking like potential weapons and one begins seriously considering a permanent move to Boca, sunburn and geriatrics be damned.
But no longer! With our oldest away at college and none of the rest emerging from hibernation until noon, at the earliest, snow days are now fun days. I anticipated with delight the dangerous wind chills and the icy roads that would keep us stuck at home by the fire with nothing to do but watch Netflix and eat cookie dough. I applauded when the two-hour delay became a cancellation, and I still had at least three hours to myself to clean the house, stalk Facebook and binge more cookie dough. Vortex schmortex. It was awesome. So, to all you parents with young ones at home, I suppose I’m offering a warm light at the end of future Snowmageddon tunnels. Hang in there! Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Independence is happiness.” -Susan B. Anthony
Editor, Regarding Current’s recent article on the mayor’s wreck, and not knowing how this could become reality, I have to ask the question as to how anyone with as much valuable planning in his mind would not welcome a professional driver for all business hours? I have always been an excellent driver and yet am amazed how anyone makes it out of the Kroger parking lot without an accident, or yet, another roundabout without, at the least, encountering someone who knows nothing of roundabout use. If building the new Carmel is important, surely a driver, around the clock if necessary, could be a plus for our very busy mayor. Rebecca Roller, Carmel

Mary Ellen and I had our usual Sunday evening conversation. “Is this the week we put out HUMOR the recycling?” I asked. “No, we put it out last week, didn’t we?” “We did, but they didn’t pick it up, so it must be this week.” “Maybe we put it out too late and missed the truck,” Mary Ellen said. “Does anyone else have their recycle bin out?” “Yes, Jerry took his out,” I said. “You can’t go by him. Jerry puts it out every Monday, Dick. He’s always the cause of the confusion.” “Wait, Eric’s putting his out now. I’m going to take ours out, too.” As I was wheeling our trash and recycling dumpsters out of the garage, Eric called to me. “Dick, is this the recycling week?” “I’m not sure, Eric. But Paul’s putting his out.” I hollered to Paul: “Are you sure this is the week for recycling?” “I don’t think it is, Dick, but I saw you guys putting yours out, and I figured you

knew.” Within minutes, every house had their yellow-lidded receptacles in the driveway. “If this is the wrong week, everyone will be blaming us,” Mary Ellen said. Monday evening, the bins were untouched, so I watched everyone haul their recyclables back into their garages. A lot of people talking trash about the Wolfsies. The next morning, I heard Rays Recycling truck approaching. “NO!” I screamed. It’s Tuesday! Then I remembered, Monday was Martin Luther King Day. No pick-up. I felt guilty for messing up everyone, so I organized a neighborhood meeting where we created a recycling schedule for the next 20 years and emailed the spreadsheet to everyone. The whole thing was very educational, but I agree with Kermit the Frog. It’s not easy being green.

Can’t buy me love: Romance scams
Commentary by J. Douglas Kouns
They steal your heart, then steal your money. In 2017, the FBI reported more than 15,000 victims with more than FRAUD $200 million in reported losses. With Valentine’s Day approaching, it’s a good time to remind people of this prevalent and heinous scam. Recently, a person hired us to confirm the background of her online love interest. After proving he didn’t exist, she wouldn’t accept it. We warned, “He will soon tell you of an emergency and ask you for money. Don’t!” She emailed later, heartbroken, “You were right. His daughter is supposedly sick and needs $1,200 for medicine. Thank you!” Typically, the victims are older, single and emotionally vulnerable women. Predators learn this information from public social media and online dating profiles. They spend the first weeks, even months, chatting, flirting and escalating the relationship. They’ll exchange fake pictures and family stories to lure victims, gaining trust and confidence. Once the hook is set, an emergency arises
and they need just a few hundred or thousand dollars. But then another thing and another thing arises. One extreme example cost a wealthy widow nearly $2 million dollars as she was milked for cash over time. Protect yourself. Research the person’s photo and profile using online searches. Go slow, ask lots of questions. Beware if the individual seems too perfect or quickly asks you to go offline. Beware if the individual attempts to isolate you from friends and family or requests inappropriate photos or financial information. Beware if the individual promises to meet in person, then always comes up with an excuse. Never send money to anyone you don’t know personally. If you suspect a scam, stop all contact immediately. If you are the victim of a scam, file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov. J. Douglas Kouns is CEO of Veracity IIR, a private investigation and security consulting firm in Carmel.

Carmel is the richest community in Indiana, but does this mean that elected officials and the Carmel PLAIN TALK Redevelopment Commission should waste taxpayer money? Spending $10 million on the clubhouse at the Brookshire Golf Course and purchasing the Monon Square Shopping Center for $15 million are two examples of waste. My criticism is not of what they did, but how much they spent. Local media recently reported that Brookshire had an operating loss of $250,000, so why invest $10 million in a new clubhouse with a swimming pool? We already have great pools at the Monon Center. Why not build a $4 million clubhouse? The major beneficiary of this overspending will be the Brookshire homeowners’ appraised value, not all the citizens of Carmel. The purchase of the Monon Square Shopping Center for $15 million, when the two appraisals on the property were only $11 million, is outrageous. That makes the purchase price 27 percent more than the appraisals. I doubt whether any member of the
CRC or city council would have paid such if they were using their own money. Likewise, no bank would loan an individual or business $15 million on property appraised at $11 million. Some elected officials have said others were bidding the $15 million amount. If that was the case, they should have let them buy the property and redevelop it. No sane business person would pay 27 percent more than an appraisal of a property. It is time for “new management” in the mayor’s office and a city council that will carry on the vision but do it in a sensible way. Rubber-stamping waste by the city council and the Carmel Redevelopment Commission just because the mayor wants to do it is unreasonable. Chicago politics needs to stay in Chicago. We don’t need a boss. We need an executive that will ensure Carmel can sustain itself many years from now with good management.

Carmel Community Players production takes a lyrical look at relationships By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The four-person cast of “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” hastens through rapid character THEATER development. “You don’t have arc of character throughout the show, but you have that in every scene,” actress Brenna Whitaker said. The Noblesville resident appears in the Carmel Community Players’ nine performances of the musical on weekends from Feb. 22 to March 10 at The Cat, 245 Veterans Way, Carmel. The musical examines relationships from first dates to dealing with marriage, child rearing, empty nests and beyond. “I did this show for the first time at Mud Creek, maybe 10 or 15 years ago,” Whitaker said. “A few years after that I did it at Myers Dinner Theatre in Hillsboro. Every character plays multiple parts. We’re a different person in every scene. After this show I will have done every women’s part. The fun thing about doing it multiple times is I was at a different stage in life each time I did it. The first time it resonated because I was single and dating. Now, I’m married with a young son, so the second act is what is resonating now.” Westfield resident Dee Timi suggested staging the musical to CCP, having directed it in Joplin, Mo., in 2008 when she lived there. “It’s that show that makes you laugh, makes you cry,” Timi said. “No matter what stage of life you’re in, it’s fun.” Libby Buck, an Indianapolis resident, saw the musical for the first time in New York on a field trip with her Valparaiso High School musical theater class. “I’ve been obsessed with it ever since,” Buck said. But she hasn’t seen it since. “This has been one of my bucket-list shows, so it’s been really exciting to participate,” she said. “The most challenging part is recalling what your character is from scene to scene.

school, I just thought it was funny. Now, I’ve been married for 10 years and have two kids of my own, so a lot of the second act makes more sense to me now.” Buck and the two male cast members, Jonathan Scoble, Carmel, and Christian Condra, Indianapolis, are making their CCP debuts. “Playing different characters is the thrill,” Scoble said. “Playing different characters are, to me, what is the most fun about acting. It’s hilarious. The script drew me in pretty quickly.” Scoble said he got a call that CCP was looking for men because not many showed up to the auditions. “Christian and I have been working together for a couple of shows now and we want to work together more,” Scoble said. Scoble, who is single, said he identifies
with several of the characters. “The trials and tribulations of dating, don’t we all have a story?” Scoble said. “From beginning to end, you can see interactions between men and women, which is fascinating.” The experience is new for Condra. “I’ve always done shows that are one consistent story, and this is a bunch of different skits,” Condra said. “It’s almost ‘SNL, the Musical,’ that’s what stood out to me. It runs the range of different acting styles.” Noblesville resident Sandy Baetzhold is the musical director. The book and lyrics are by Joe DiPietro and the music is by Jimmy Roberts. The musical played off-Broadway for more than nine years before being released to community theaters. For more, visit carmelplayers.org.

CHS siblings dig all that jazz By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com For Carmel siblings Oscar and Joe Cronin, being selected to the All-State Jazz Ensemble is nothing MUSIC new. But the thrill never gets old. “Being a part of the ensemble was a very fun experience for me,” said Oscar, a Carmel High School Oscar Cronin junior. “I got to work with some of the best young musicians from all over the state.” Joe, a CHS freshman, echoed the sentiment. “I was excited,” he said. “It’s a great experience to be working with a lot of other great players.” Oscar and Joe were among 17 Hamilton County student-musicians who auditioned for, and were selected to, either the AllState Jazz Ensemble or the Junior All-State Jazz Ensemble. The ensembles performed at the Jan. 18 Indiana Music Educators Association Convention in Fort Wayne. Oscar, a trombone player, was part of the All-State Jazz Ensemble, which is for grades
10 through 12. He was selected for the Junior All-State Ensemble, for grades 7 through 9, when he was an eighth-grader. Joe, a drummer, made the Junior All-State Ensemble for the second straight year. CHS musician Charlie Harriman, who plays guitar and Noblesville High School students Grace Wiles (trombone) and Sam Eger (piano) also were part of the AllJoe Cronin State Jazz Ensemble. The following local students were on the Junior Ensemble: Conway Zhang (saxophone), Carmel Middle School; Ian Robison (saxophone), Hamilton Heights Middle School; Nate Cook (saxophone), Noblesville High School; Skyler Cole (saxophone), Zionsville Middle School; Addison Coons (lead trumpet), Zionsville Middle School; Connor Meinerding (trumpet), Noblesville High School; Tyler Siversten (lead trombone), Noblesville High School; Jonah McKnight (trombone), Zionsville Middle School; Sean Vitales (trombone), Noblesville High School; Nicholas Ok (piano), Noblesville High School; Andrew Matthews (guitar), Noblesville High School; and Jay Thornbury (bass), Noblesville High School.

Just because it’s good doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. Cheers! The white is 2014 Hugel Gentil, an Edelzwicker (blend) from Alsace, France. It’s heavy on the Gewurztraminer with smaller amounts of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Muscat. A full-bodied and refreshing wine with a beautiful, perfumey nose. In the glass are crisp fruit flavors with a lean, lemony finish. A great choice with fish and shellfish. This wine is an old favorite of mine that is consistent from year to year. Dry and $15. 2015 Charles Smith Wines “Velvet Devil”
Merlot, $14, is from Washington. A dense red wine that begs for beef dishes or dark chocolate dessert. Expect a mouthful of dark cherries and blackberries, big cedar and sweet tobacco. Velvet Devil offers big flavor in a luxurious, velvety smooth finish. This one goes down fast and easy. This unique sparkler is bone dry and dark red with pretty pink foam. Midici Ermete I Quercioli “Secco” is a Lambrusco from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and will set you back about $15. This works beautifully with cheesy pasta dishes like ravioli and also is a successful choice with clams, mussels and oysters.

Celebrate Punchbowl Social
Behind bars: Mexican Manicure
The Cook’s Salad from Punchbowl Social in downtown Indianapolis is a fresh, unique combination of many vibrant ingredients. (Photo by Anna Skinner)
Commentary by Anna Skinner
my mother’s fried bologna for breakfast. For my main dish, I ordered the Cook’s Salad, a giant bowl of little gem lettuce, bacon, crispy chicken, tomatoes, pickled green beans, creamy avocado, hard-boiled eggs, gruyere cheese, Dixie Caviar (which is actually just a fancy way of saying blackeyed peas) and a shallot-thyme vinaigrette dressing. The salad was fresh, filling and had a unique twist with the combination of ingredients. Suggested pairings: Punchbowl Social has several punch bowls, and if they’re in the restaurant’s name, you know they have to be good. There are three main offerings – The Watermelon Polo Bowl, It’s a Mer-Man’s World and The King’s Cup, all $9. A featured punch, which the bartender will educate you on if you visit, is $8. All contain alcohol and are delicious. For more, visit punchbowlsocial.com.
Address: 120 S. Meridian St., Indianapolis What to get: Cook’s Salad Price: $14 Anna’s take: Punchbowl Social offers more than just extraordinary food and drinks. It features an arcade, a bowling alley, karaoke, games like giant Scrabble and giant Jenga, the famous red cursive “I love you so much” wall and more. Before I even ordered, I was brought a complimentary basket of the most delicious little biscuits and jam. For an appetizer, I started with the Lil’ Fried Bologna and Cheese Sandwiches ($8). I grew up in the country, so taking a bite out of these bologna, tomato, olive tapenade and gruyere sandwiches was like a slightly fancier memory of eating

Blueprint for Improvement: White-hot kitchen remodel in Indianapolis Commentary by Larry Greene
THE SOLUTION
After
Our team transformed this ho-hum kitchen into a true centerpiece of the home. 1. The homeowners chose a gorgeous gray for the lower cabinets and white for the upper cabinets. 2. Bulkheads over the cabinets were removed and replaced with taller cabinetry that not only provides more storage, but makes the room seem taller. 3. A quartz countertop was installed, and the tile backsplash was taken all the way to the ceiling to give the illusion of a taller ceiling. 4. Instead of two smaller pantries, the design gave the homeowners one larger, more functional pantry space and a new counter for meal prep. To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.
Background: Built in 1985, this home is near Eagle Creek Reservoir. The homeowners were looking to modernize their space and streamline their lives.
THE CHALLENGE
Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.
The homeowners worked with our designers to create a space that felt bigger without knocking down any walls. They also wanted more functional storage space.

Commentary by Don Knebel The Rocks, a fashionable area in Sydney, Australia, was once home to English convicts. Its name comes from the quarries where they hewed rocks. After the American colonies gained indeTRAVEL pendence, England selected eastern Australia, then uninhabited by Europeans, as the new overseas dumping ground for its convicts. On Jan, 26, 1788, its anniversary celebrated as Australia Day, an English fleet brought 850 convicts to the southern shore of what is now Sydney Harbor. The prisoners built their own homes from mud and wood among the nearby sandstone quarries where many were forced to work. After Sydney became a port city, the quarry area, called The Rocks, was home to brothels and bars serving incoming sailors. The area’s reputation took more hits when it was quarantined during the plague of 1900 and when the approach to the Sydney Harbor Bridge sliced through its western side in 1923. By mid-century, Sydney’s city planners proposed leveling all the remaining structures in the dreary slum and replacing them with high-rises. A protest by residents of The Rocks, some tracing their families’ roots in the area to 1800, led to a 1975 agreement that buildings, including residences, would be preserved and important buildings restored. When cruise ships began docking nearby, restored buildings in The Rocks were transformed into popular tourist destinations. The picturesque ASN Co. Building, once a warehouse, now houses a gallery and retail shops. Other restored buildings became

museums and restaurants. The area under the Sydney Harbor Bridge is now a park, with a spectacular view of the Sydney Opera House. Sydney’s sophisticated young people come to The Rocks to take advantage of its now respectable bars and pubs, two claiming to be the oldest in Sydney. The place once to be avoided at almost all costs has become the place not to be missed. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com.
