Westfield resident Ken Alexander won the Republican nomination for the Hamilton County Council District 4 seat in the May COUNTY 8 primary election. Alexander earned 2,852 votes, or 34.79 percent. He was followed by Christine Pauley (30.11 percent), Rick Sharp (29 Alexander percent) and Sheldon Barnes (6.1 percent). Alexander thanked his opponents for the time they invested in the race. “The District 4 race, I felt, was a fair one, and one that was clean of a lot of nastiness we saw going on in other parts of the county, and I think that’s what our voters want,” Alexander said. “I am proud of the race we ran, but most importantly, I’m also proud of the effort (my oppo-

nents) put in.” As for what’s next, Alexander said he’s going to return his focus to work at CTI Construction in Carmel and then prepare for the November election, where he’ll face Democrat William L. Howard II, who ran unopposed in his primary. Dennis Quakenbush won the Republican primary for Hamilton County sheriff.

Quakenbush is a Cicero resident, is married with four sons and has served in law enforcement for the past 15 years with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, where he serves as captain of the patrol division.

SHARING THE VISION By Maria Cook • news@currentincarmel.com The Carmel Clay Public Library shared its vision for the future at a public meeting April 19. Library Director Bob Swanay said community input was vital in deciding which aspects of the library needed improvement. The library hired design firm MSR Design to help develop the vision, but plans for specific construction projects are not yet under way. “You’re not going to see architectural designs tonight, but you will see some imagery that will give you an idea of how this vision works,” Swanay said at the meeting. Attendees had the opportunity to complete a survey asking their opinions on specific aspects of the library’s vision, such as the opening of a west side branch, the installation of a drive-up window for book returns and the expansion of internal spaces. “We’ve always had a strategic plan that has guided us for the next three to five years,” Swanay said. “This vision is bold and ambitious enough to drive the library for the next decade or two decades.”

Clubhouse work to be rebid

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Although preliminary construction work has begun, the City of Carmel has decided to rebid work on the BROOKSHIRE Brookshire Clubhouse at the golf course after reviewing the contract process with new outside counsel. Work temporarily will be delayed as a result. The new clubhouse at Brookshire Golf Course will replace the current structure built in 1970, when the course opened. The approximately $10 million project — paid for through city bonds — will include a much larger clubhouse with expanded facilities for golf carts, a pro shop and gathering spots that will be made available to the community for private events such as weddings and parties. City councilor Jeff Worrell said there’s no cause for concern that the work is being rebid. He said Michael Drewry of Drewry Simmons and Vornehm construction at-

torneys has suggested that bids be redone under a construction management law that changed July 1, 2017. “We’re just dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s,” Worrell said. The previous bidding was done through Shiel Sexton, which is the intended construction manager acting as agent for the City of Carmel. No taxpayer money has been spent. Worrell said the rebuild doesn’t mean anything was wrong with the winning bid but it’s important to be cautious because of the new law. “While the project began before that time, it is not clear whether it would be grandfathered under the previous law, so we are proceeding with an abundance of caution and completing a new bid process through the city,” corporation counsel Douglas Haney said in a statement. The original date for the grand opening was spring of 2019. It’s unknown if the delay will affect the date.

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com After a May 9 joint meeting between Hamilton County commissioners and the Hamilton County Council, the COUNTY county has decided to put the expansion of the government and judicial center in downtown Noblesville on hold. Bids for the project were higher than expected by approximately $300,000, prompting county leadership to delay the project. The Hamilton County Council approved funding for the $24 million-plus expansion in early April — $12 million from bonds, just over $1 million from the courthouse fund, and nearly $11 million from the county’s general fund. American Structurepoint, Inc. has been contracted to plan and design the expansion that would centrally house all Hamilton County government offices. Currently, the offices of auditor, assessor, treasurer and recorder are in the historic courthouse in the center of the downtown Noblesville square.

This rendering shows the planned expansion looking northeast from Conner Street. (Submitted rendering courtesy of American Structurepoint, Inc.)

According to American Structurepoint, the expansion would make the space usable for the next 25 years by adding 130,000 square feet to the existing layout, with added space on the lower level and a three-story upper shell and core floors. The current government and judicial center was built in 1992 and was projected at the time to fill the county’s needs for 20 years. Twenty-six years later, the commissioners and council agree more room is needed. Some parts of the project, including design, planning, utility relocation and more, are still ongoing.

Football players enjoy Italy By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com The mission was to play a football game. For Carmel High School’s Vance Roudebush, it was so much more. TRAVEL Roudebush and fellow senior Jonathan VanZetta traveled to Italy as part of the America Football Worldwide Elite U19 Team. They represented the U.S. as ambassadors of the sport and were on the U.S. team, which defeated the Italian U19 National Team 28-7 last month in Varese, east of Milan. It was the Americans’ fourth consecutive victory against the Italian team. Roudebush and VanZetta were the only players from Indiana. “For me, the best part of my experience would have to be trying all the foreign foods and discovering a new culture that we don’t get to experience in America,” Roudebush said. VanZetta, an offensive lineman, said the best part of the experience was talking to players on the Italian team. Following practices, there were educational and sight-seeing trips each day. Among the sites they visited were the Roman Colosseum and Forum, Vatican City and St. Peter’s Basilica.

From left, Vance Roudebush, AFW Assistant Coach Aaron Call and Jonathan VanZetta pause in front of the Roman Colosseum. (Submitted photo)

“I really enjoyed when we stopped in Siena. The entire city was beautiful. It was amazing views, no matter where you were,” VanZetta said. Roudebush, a defensive end who plans to play at Wabash College, was glad he could share the experience with his high school teammate. “We had a blast. It was so much fun meeting new people and experiencing a new culture with him,” Roudebush said. Roudebush said there were definitely some differences in how the game was played, as the Italians are still learning the game.

St. Mark’s launches STEAM room By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com In 2014, St. Mark’s Preschool created the “Make BEE-lieve” room in memory of Henley Romine, a St. Mark’s PRESCHOOL Preschool student, nicknamed Brave Bee, who died at age 4 from neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer, in 2013. The room, which celebrates Henley’s love for make believe and learning, had transitioned from a dramatic play room to a play grocery store and play fire station. In February, St. Mark’s Preschool Director Jennifer Weixler launched a STEAM-themed space in the “Make BEE-lieve” room for the school’s 93 preschool students, ages 2 to 5. The room is available to some of the youngest students utilizing STEAM, which focuses on science, technology, engineering, art and math. The STEAM room is one of the first to be offered at the preschool level in Carmel. Students utilize the classroom one to three times per week. “This is a very hands-on way for them to learn and explore,” Weixler said. Weixler said the STEAM-themed room is a

Students are given unstructured time to play with a variety of items, including a pulley filled with stuffed animals that hangs from the ceiling, a light table, building blocks, tube magnets, marbles and robots. Students figure out how to connect various sized tubes to create a path for a marble to pass through, how to connect gears to create movement and how to blend colors on a light table.

Races support clean water By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Evan McBroom wanted to double his running output. “When I was about FUNDRAISER to turn 50, I had been running half-marathons for several years but never thought I was capable of doing a full marathon,” McBroom said. Friends encouraged him to do it and suggested he sign up for Team World Vision. “You’ll have a bunch of people to train with and you’ll raise money for clean water in Africa in the process of running the race,” the Carmel resident said. McBroom, now 53, signed up to run the Chicago Marathon in October 2014 and raised approximately $7,000. His wife, Debbie, got inspired. “And I had never been a runner,” she said. “I started running with him. I did my first full marathon in the Chicago Marathon in 2016.” Debbie said the long-distance events don’t allow children to be involved. “I felt heavy-hearted about that because I wanted to include an event to include kids,” said Debbie, who recently retired as a fulltime retired preschool teacher. So the McBrooms, along with friend Beth Russo, decided to host a World Vision Global 6K for Water. It will be held May 19 in Carmel, starting at 8:30 a.m. at the Orchard Park Presbyterian Church parking lot. It will be held at hundreds of sites on the same day around the world. In 2017, there were 600 sites in several nations. “We decided to host this race so I can educate children on the need for clean water in other countries,” Debbie said. McBroom said lots of people can walk or run the 3.7-mile course. Instead of a bib number, participants wear the face of a child they are running to

support. McBroom said money can be raised in a variety of ways, including Facebook. “For every $50 that is donated, World Vision can bring sustainable, clean water for one person in Africa,” McBroom said. “A big part of our passion for this is we’ve been to Ethiopia (in 2015) and saw firsthand the need for clean water and we’ve seen the impact on a community when they get clean water.” The couple has a sponsor child in Ethiopia. Debbie said the trip inspired her to do whatever she could to help them build more clean water wells and reservoirs. “It’s so heart-breaking with the struggles they have,” Debbie said. “All they can focus on is making sure they can get water every day and it’s not even clean.” Their son, Blaine, a 2017 Carmel High School graduate, raised $3,000 for World Vision by running in marathons in 2016 and 2017. Their oldest daughter, Bailey, 25, is a part-time staffer for World Vision in Nashville, Tenn. Adult registration is $50 and $25 for participants 18 and younger.

Which whe el s? Parents ponder school transportation options as Carmel strives to be more bike-friendly

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Room for improvement

Carmel Clay Schools joined more than 2,500 schools nationwide May 9 for National Bike to School Day, with hundreds of students pedaling their COVER STORY way to class. The district has taken steps to make it easier to bike or walk to school, adding bike racks at elementary campuses and extending sidewalks to connect with nearby neighborhoods. The City of Carmel also has worked to become more bike-friendly near schools and elsewhere. Some parents make walking or biking to school a part of their child’s daily routine, but others don’t see it as a realistic or safe option. Transportation research has shown that taking a bus is by far the safest way for kids to get to school. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System shows that students are 70 times more likely to get to school safely in a bus than other types of vehicles, and almost 20 times more likely to get to school safely in a bus than other modes of transportation. So, in a city that values bicycling as much as Carmel, what’s a parent to do?

Carter said some Carmel schools do a better job of promoting biking than others. Besides identifying and promoting safe routes, he said there are other things schools can do, such as placing bike racks in convenient places. Carter said he remembers years ago that a walk Carter program was going to be rolled out and that some parents opposed it. He said he doesn’t want to tell anyone how to raise their kids, but he said many children are responsible enough to handle biking to school on their own. He said grades four to eight are the primary target. CCS spokeswoman Courtney Taylor said the district has 188 school buses and the annual overall transportation costs for the district is roughly $8.5 million. Maintenance of student parking lots, such as potholes, is minimal. But for some parents the biggest hurdle is safety. Miller said even if a child is safe and responsible, motorists are unpredictable. “I am not sure I trust some of the parents to drive safely around kids who are on their

‘We’d like to see this option come back’

For some parents, regularly biking to school is an easy decision. Chad Braugher, who has a 6-year-old daughter at Carmel Elementary, said he regularly surprises her by bringing the bike with the tag-along when school lets out. “It makes you feel like you’re part of the community,” he said. “I think it brings connection to the area.” But other parents are hesitant to have their children bike or walk to school. Melinda Miller said she’s concerned about letting her son bike to Carmel Middle School. “He could have biked to that school, but once a child gets to Guilford (Road) it becomes very dangerous,” she said. Some on the Carmel City Council would like to see more parents consider biking as an option for their school children. Councilors Ron Carter and Bruce Kimball

were strong supporters of a new bicycle administrator position at City Hall, a role that eventually morphed into a transportation development coordinator. That person, among other duties, will help identify and promote safe routes to each school. “We’re not forcing anybody, but we’d like to see this option come back,” Kimball said.

bikes,” she said. “Some of these parents are seriously in a hurry and not thinking about the safety of the kids around them.” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said there are safe paths to each school but he’s willing to invest in further path improvements. Some upgrades are already planned. “Most of the paths exist, but there are some improvements scheduled to be made in the next five to 10 years,” he said.

Walkability cited to save elementary campuses Parents at Orchard Park and Carmel elementary schools have been organizing to oppose the idea that either or both schools could close as Carmel Clay Schools considers how to deal with aging campuses and declining enrollment projections. A major reason they insist both schools should remain open is because they are perfectly situated for students to bike or walk to school. “In the central district I’m hearing many parents picked Carmel to live because of schools, but they picked the central district because of its walkability and emerging bicycle friendliness,” Carmel City Councilor Bruce Kimball said. Chad Baugher likes to bike with his 6-year-old to Carmel Elementary and thinks the location is ideal. “If the school is too far away and you can’t walk or bike to it, then you just feel like you’re in the suburbs again,” he said. “We love the urban-surburban renaissance that’s going on in downtown Carmel.” Emily Ehrgott, who has children at Orchard Park, said it’s important to keep schools that are walkable and bicycle friendly. “These schools are woven into these neighborhoods so deep that people actually strictly buy homes within these neighborhoods,” she said. “You can get to (Orchard Park) from almost everywhere in the boundaries. That is such a huge advantage.”

Countdown to emptier nest

O B S E R V AT I O N Just what we need

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Mick Jagger famously reminded us that “You can’t always get what you want.” The catchy pop tune penned by Jagger and his longtime collaborator Keith Richards reinforces a simple point, one that should have been committed firmly into our collective psyche by early adulthood yet manages to elude us even decades later. Life, it seems, is filled with unrequited hopes and desires. We balance competing priorities, often spanning extreme poles, always living in compromise. Our desire to enjoy a placid domestic life stands in contrast to our fantasy of following Hemingway to an endless sea of adventure. Few of us can afford to drive a monster truck, exotic sports car, custom classic and stylish sedan – we have to pick one, or maybe, if we are lucky, two, and go with it. As the years pass, we settle comfortably into our choices. Still, can we hope to reconcile our imagined lives with the ones that we are actually living? Can the fantasy compete with the reality? What if The Rolling Stones had asserted “You don’t always want what you get” instead of positing their now-famous musing? Many of us must wonder if we are in command of our own expectations sufficiently to unequivocally know what it is that we want. Would it be more honest to admit that we too often wait for life to deliver itself to us – and then we react to it. If ours is an existence of abundant compromise, should we embrace the choices we’ve made or, instead, live in eternal regret over the paths not taken? Or, do we ultimately find that life gives us just what we need?

My baby is home from college! For the next 102 days. I know because I checked. And I may or may not have started a secret countdown to his departure in HUMOR August. It’s not that we don’t love our oldest, who just completed his freshman year at IU. He’s generally kind and funny and interesting to talk to. But we’ve gotten so used to not having him around that when he returns, everything seems out of whack. For starters, he uses a lot of space, both physically and audibly. He’s 6-foot-3 and loud, and mostly unaware of either. On the car ride home, my youngest commented on his incredible ability to hijack the minivan with his person and stream-of-consciousness-like chatter: “Mom, I can’t get away from him! Every time I turn up the music, he purposely raises his voice.” To fuel that large frame and chattyCathyness, our oldest consumes millions of calories a day. I’d reduced my major Meijer runs to once a week, but we are already out of milk, bread and Kraft products. He’s been here less than 24 hours. Sweet mercy, our grocery bills are going to take a major hit. And finally, though it doesn’t sound like a big deal to reduce a family of six by one teenager, it is. We enjoyed an entire school year of one less kid to keep track of and lose sleep over. Now that he’s back in sight, he’s unfortunately back in mind. And I’m not prepared to worry about four children again! My baby is home from college for a 102 days. Wish me luck. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

O brother, where were thou? Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My column a few weeks ago was about a longtime friend. Now 92, Keith Bratton lives in a retirement community in HUMOR Fishers. I recounted some of his unique inventions over the years, like a urinal splash guard with Osama Bin Laden’s photo. Current in Fishers ran the article as a front-page feature. The column was posted on a Facebook page viewed by Sarah Erdman, the daughter of Ron Bratton of Fort Wayne. Sarah forwarded the article to her dad, wondering if Keith might be a relative. When Ron read about Keith, he was pretty sure this was his long-lost half-sibling. He had never previously mentioned Keith to his family. It had been 68 years since they last saw each other, if they had ever met at all. Keith’s mother passed away when Keith was about 24. His father remarried, and Ron was the offspring from that relationship. The more than two-decade gap in age, coupled with Keith’s entry into the Army, resulted in a subsequent failure to connect. Ron was planning a trip to Indy and included a stop at Keith’s senior community. Ron approached the front desk and asked if

there was a Keith Bratton living there. The receptionist was appropriately cautious. “Are you a relative?” she asked. “I think I may be his half-brother,” said Ron, which sounded a little suspicious. However, Ron was allowed entrance. Keith was told he had a visitor, but no other clues were given about the mystery guest. Ron introduced himself, revealing their relationship. Keith responded with a zinger: “What took you so long?” As they reminisced, the phone rang. It was Keith’s daughter, Kim, who lives in Florida. “So, what are you doing?” she asked. “Visiting with my half-brother.” “I didn’t know you had a half-brother!” As I interviewed Keith for this story, I asked how sure he was this whole thing wasn’t a scam. Then, I got a befitting wisecrack from him: “Why would anyone admit to being my brother … if it weren’t true?”

Walk for Angelman syndrome By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Amanda Moore had no idea what Angelman syndrome was until one of her adopted twin sons was diagFUNDRAISER nosed with it in January 2017. Moore and her husband, Adam, saw Jackson, who turned 3 years old May 12, appeared to be having seizures and also was sick with a temperature of 102 degrees. “We took him to Riley (Hospital for Children) where they did an overnight EEG, and the neurologist there had some experience with Angelman syndrome so he suggested we do the testing to determine if that is what it was,” Moore said. “We found out two weeks after that with a confirmation of the genetic test.” His twin brother, Baden, is not affected. The twins were adopted at birth. Angelman syndrome is caused by the loss of function of a particular gene during fetal development, resulting in severe neurological impairment present at birth and lasting for a lifetime. Symptoms vary and include severe developmental delays, speech impairments, seizures and walking and balance disorders.

How to choose a running shoe Commentary by Joseph Hui As the weather gets warmer, many people will lace up their shoes and get back into or starting a runFOOT HEALTH ning program for the first time. For a runner, shoes are everything. But how does one choose the right shoe? The first question is: what type of surface will you be running on, road or trail? Trailrunning shoes are typically heavier and designed to protect the foot and encourage stability on uneven, rocky surfaces. These shoes offer durable soles with more aggressive tread patterns and are generally wider and sometimes have an additional layer in the sole to reduce pain caused by stepping on debris. Next, identify the type of running pattern you have. Find a well-used pair of running/ athletic shoes from your closet and examine the wear pattern of the tread. Your running pattern is generally broken into three categories: underpronation, neutral and overpronation. Overpronation typically occurs in runners with a flat to medium arch. If the sole of

the shoe is worn down near the inside of the shoe near the big toe, then you have overpronation. Underpronation, the least common type, typically occurs in those with high arches and can be identified when the outside of the sole is worn down near the pinky toe. Neutral runners are in between and typically have even wear-pattern of the inside and outside of the fore foot. For overpronators, shoes with a stiff midsole are generally more helpful and are marketed as motion-control shoes. For underpronators, neutral-type shoes are more helpful. Finally, for neutral-pattern runners, a stability shoe is typically the best fit. The most important thing is how comfortable they feel. There has been a recent shift in the scientific literature to promote comfort as a strong predictor to reduce the incidence of running injuries.

Pet Accidents

Close to 70% of all homes in the U.S. own a family pet. That includes almost 90 million dogs! Potty accidents are a part of puppy and dog ownership. Here’s how to address those occasional spots using supplies you already have in your home. You will need: paper towels, clean white cloths, spray bottle of clean water, spray bottle of 50/50 white vinegar & water, and a white plastic grocery bag.

Key to most effectively addressing pet urine accidents on your carpet:

• Act quickly. The longer the urine sits on your carpet, the more likely it is to seep into the pad and cause lingering smells. • Always gently blot your carpet. Vigorous rubbing will damage the carpet fibers and can actually make the spot worse. • Use pet friendly solutions and processes – not commercial chemicals or sprays. • Be patient as you work through the steps below. • Don’t soak your carpet. Use sprays generously, but carpets shouldn’t be soaking wet from your spray bottles.

1. Gently blot the urine spot with paper towels. Do not rub. 2. Dampen spot with clean water, and blot with clean towels. 3. Generously spray 50/50 vinegar and water to cover the urine spot. You can use a white plastic grocery bag to gently work the vinegar and water solution into the carpet. 4. Blot gently with clean white towel. 5. Spray with clean water and blot with clean white towel, then assess the spot. If you still see the spot, repeat steps 2-5 until spot is gone.

Miller to bring standup routine to The Palladium By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Dennis Miller is a man of many mediums. Right now, Miller is doCOMEDY ing two weekly PodcastOne shows, a weekly TV appearance, and a syndicated twice-daily radio spot called the “Miller Minute.” On top of that, Miller, 64, is on a standup comedy tour, which includes an 8 p.m. stop at The Palladium in Carmel May 18. “I started a sports podcast three months ago and I got people (who) say they like the podcast but I don’t like sports,” Miller said. “So, the guy asked me if I want do the events. I’m learning even if it’s a stream-of-consciousness you have to provide some structure to it. I lack the structure now but I’m working on it.” Miller, who had his own talk show for several years, has weekly appearances on “Kennedy” on Fox Business Channel. Miller, a conservative, previously was a regular contributor on Bill O’Reilly’s “The O’Reilly Factor.” “I just go on because she (Lisa Kennedy Montgomery) makes me laugh,” Miller said. “When O’Reilly got fired and that went away, I wasn’t hearing any other calls from anybody else on Fox, so I’ll go on ‘Kennedy.’” Miller rose to prominence as an acerbic anchor for “Weekend Update” on “Saturday Night Live” from 1985 to 1991. The standup tour is in advance of a TV comedy special for a producer, who plans to syndicate it. “I’ve worked it out in an hour and 10 minutes,” Miller said of his routine. “I got to prune 10 minutes for the special but it’s not a lab rat situation. I got it down.” It won’t all be political. “Two-thirds of it is just jokes I want the audience to get belly laughs out of,” Miller said. “But once you’ve done ‘Weekend Update,’ you have to pay some attention to current events, and that’s what people have come to know you for. So, two-thirds is about making them laugh about the world we live in and one-third is about the current political times. If you live in times when you have (President Donald) Trump

and (Nancy) Pelosi and you’re not going up on stage and commenting on that, I think even clowns in the circus are doing jokes on that now.” After taking a break from Twitter for two-plus years, Miller uses Twitter to gauge how some jokes fare. “I put up a joke a few weeks ago about Trump coming to California and he was booed, and, quite frankly, for Trump to be received warmly in California, he’d have to come in illegally,” Miller said. “I got like 58,000 likes. At that point you can tell you got a good joke. I do think Twitter gives you a once-removed idea if something is a good joke or not. Again, it’s tough to gauge because the country is so polarized now, some people wouldn’t laugh at

anything.” Miller came to Indianapolis a few times to see the Indy 500 with his late friend Andy Granatelli, a legendary car owner. The comedian also visited during his stint as a “Monday Night Football” color commentator in 2000 and 2001. Miller said the first year, 40 percent might have liked him on MNF and 60 percent hated it. “Over two years I think I got it up to the mean line, which I considered a success,” Miller said. In addition to his TV talk shows, Miller had a syndicated radio show from 2007 to 2015. “Eight years and three hours a day for five days a week, I was talked out,” Miller said. “I was sick of me.”

Bucher turns pothole pics into art By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Like many driving or walking in Indianapolis the past several months, Chris Bucher has his encounters with potholes. ART The 1987 Carmel High School graduate deals with them constantly because he lives in downtown Indianapolis. “I was walking my dog and I got splashed because a truck drove through what looked like a tiny puddle, but the problem was there was a hole that looked 8 inches deep,” said Bucher, a full-time photographer. “It was a huge pothole. It just soaked us. It was a gloomy gray day. I thought I had to do something about this. In my head, I just had a vision of the dreary, dark photo of the Nessie (Loch Ness Monster) in the water, so I had to find a toy dinosaur.” Thus, a photo array was born in late February. Bucher said the toy floated but he cut it open and filled it with water so it would sink a little. Bucher put toy dinosaurs and other toys around other photos. “I put it on my Instagram (@bucherphoto) and people just went nuts for it,” Bucher said. “Then it started to get some other media play from TV stations. I posted a dozen or so.” An exhibit at Flat 12 Bierwerks, near Bucher’s home, featured 20 photos. Bucher does a lot of commercial photography for businesses. “This was just a fun thing that came out of social media,” Bucher said. “This (pothole problem) was a big deal for everyone here the last few months.” Almost all of the photos were taken when he was walking his dog, a Belgian malinois named George, on long walks. “I didn’t go out of my way to create

things,” Bucher said. “I was getting texts or messages saying you have to come to the pothole in my community. I was able to see plenty of potholes in the walks around my neighborhood.”

Sun King announces restaurants editorial@youarecurrent.com Sun King Brewery has announced the four independently operated local restaurants that will fill the food BREWERY hall inside its Carmel tap room and distillery, which is scheduled to open this summer, according to a press release Sun King’s food hall will feature four, 100-square-foot food stalls designed to invoke the spirit of the Monon Railway inside the 15,000-square-foot tap room. Each unit will house a small kitchen, service counter and menu boards. Following are descriptions of the restaurant concepts and menu offerings: BEAST: Offering gourmet burgers and hand-cut fries crafted with quality, locally sourced ingredients. The Sun King Carmel tap room and distillery will be BEAST’s first brick-and-mortar location. La Margarita: Currently operates a location in Indianapolis’ Fountain Square neighborhood. Among the menu items will be chorizo tacos featuring Mexican ground sausage, creamed corn poblano aioli, queso fresco, cilantro and onion served on blue corn tortillas.

Oca: This is the second Oca restaurant to open in a Sun King Tap Room. Developed by Chris Eley, owner of Indianapolis’ Goose the Market and Smoking Goose, the new Oca menu includes snacks like soft Bavarian pretzels with pimento beer cheese and charcuterie tasting boards as well as unique sausages and sandwiches. Fans of the Eley Batali sandwich, named one of the nation’s best by Bon Appetit magazine, includes three types of house salumi, spicy pickled vegetables, tomato preserves and provolone. Pi: Operates a food truck offering handcrafted, brick-oven pizza and seasonal salads. Among the menu items will be the Indiana Corn Pi featuring garlic sauce, sausage, corn, spinach, caramelized onions, jalapeños and mozzarella and provolone cheese. “Food halls are a growing trend throughout the U.S., where the number of them grew by nearly 40 percent in 2016,” Clay Robinson, co-founder of Sun King Brewery, said in the release. “Think of our new food hall like a food court in the mall, but totally modernized with local, independent restaurants serving diverse, fresh food quickly.”

Ruins of Devin Castle, near Bratislava, Slovakia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Maiden Tower at Devin Castle Commentary by Don Knebel Devin Castle, a few miles from Bratislava, Slovakia, provides a spectacular view of the Danube River Valley. Its popularity is enhanced by a romantic legend TRAVEL about an ancient tower. In the first century, the Danube River formed part of the northern border of the Roman Empire. To keep watch on the Germanic tribes across the river, the Romans built a tower atop a 650-foot cliff above where the Morava River flows into the Danube. In the ninth century, the Great Moravia, formed by uniting Slavonic tribes, built a castle on the site to protect its western border from the Germanic tribes that had overrun the Roman Empire. In the 13th century, the Kingdom of Hungary, which had taken over the territory of Great Moravia, expanded the castle to protect its western border from what was becoming known as Germany. Additional stone buildings, including a palace, were erected on the site, and the complex became known as Devin Castle. In 1809, after defeating Austrian forces in the nearby Battle of Wagram, Napoleon ordered NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CARMEL/CLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS DOCKET NO 18050002 V Notice is hereby given that the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals will meet on Tuesday, the 29th day of May, 2018 at 5:15 pm in the City Hall Caucus Rooms, 1 Civic Square, 2nd Floor, Carmel, Indiana 46032 and hold a Public Hearing upon a Development Standards Variance application to permit the installation of a swimming pool located on Applicant’s property.

the destruction of Devin Castle as a part of his strategy of neutralizing potential threats. During the Cold War era, the area surrounding Devin Castle was lined with barbed wire to prevent residents of Czechoslovakia from escaping to Austria. An octagonal tower, perched on a rock below Devin Castle, is named Maiden Tower after a story about an unnamed king who held his virgin daughter in the tower to separate her from her lover. Despondent, she leapt from the tower to her death. The Maiden Tower is an important symbol of Slovakian heritage and was featured on Slovak coins until Slovakia adopted the euro. The ruins of Devin Castle and Maiden Tower, with their network of intersecting walkways, are among the most popular and most photographed sites in Slovakia.
