Memory-impaired man’s suit against city settled By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com A lawsuit filed by a memory-impaired Carmel man against the City of Carmel and its former city attorney has been settled. The case had been set to go to trial June 2. CITY NEWS Jeff McQuary, an attorney for plaintiff Gary W. Brooks, stated that the May 11 settlement agreement contains a confidentiality provision that prohibits him or Brooks from disclosing the settlement amount. City of Carmel officials declined to comment on the settlement. Brooks, who has trouble forming new memories because of a 1995 brain aneurysm, filed the suit in March 2018. Brooks uses a video recorder to document important Haney daily interactions to help him remember what happened. According to court records, Brooks claims that Haney became aggressive on separate occasions when Brooks refused to stop recording in the Dept. of Community Services in 2016 and in the law office in 2017, with the 2017 incident leading to a sprained wrist. Recording is allowed in certain areas of City Hall, such as hallways and the council chambers, but it is prohibited in other areas, including both places where Haney confronted Brooks. Judge Tanya Walton Pratt previously ruled that Haney did not violate the Americans with Disabilities Act or Brooks’ Fourth Amendment rights or commit battery during the 2016 incident. She denied summary judgment on Brooks’ claim that Haney violated his First Amendment rights by not allowing the recording, although Haney was entitled to qualified immunity and could not be held liable for civil damages on the claim. She also allowed a battery claim from the 2017 encounter to proceed. Haney resigned from the city in December 2020 after another employee of the city’s law department filed a harassment complaint against him. The city reached a settlement agreement with the employee. The handling of the complaint sparked a city council investigation, but its findings have not been released publicly.

Westfield tops vaccination rate By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Westfield tops the list for percentage of residents vaccinated against COVID-19 in Hamilton County at 76 COUNTY percent. Most other Hamilton County ZIP codes have at least a 50 percent vaccination rate, but some of the county’s northern communities are lagging behind. Hamilton County is the second-most vaccinated county in the state, with 59 percent of county residents fully vaccinated, which equates to 165,112 residents 12 and older. Yet in the northern communities of Sheridan, Atlanta and Arcadia, only 40 percent of residents are fully vaccinated. “When we break our vaccination numbers down by ZIP code, we see considerably fewer people getting vaccinated in the northern, more rural area of our county,” stated Chris Walker, emergency preparedness coordinator for the Hamilton County Health Dept. “We need to reevaluate how we’re reaching residents in the Atlanta, Sheridan and Arcadia areas.” Walker said there are 49 vaccination sites

Carmel veteran: Remember those lost in service every day By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com U.S. Coast Guard veteran Darin Bibeau figured a quote from a famous U.S. Army general summed up MEMORIAL DAY what Memorial Day means to him. “Legendary Gen. George S. Patton once said, ‘It’s foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God such men lived,’” Bibeau said. “General Patton was absolutely right.” Bibeau, a Carmel resident, delivered the keynote address at the City of Carmel Memorial Day ceremony May 28 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts. “Memorial Day is a day not just to remember but to celebrate and honor those who are not with us any longer,” Bibeau said. “In my years of service, none of my brothers and sisters ever wanted to be mourned. This is not why we joined the military. I’m proud to have served eight years active duty honorably.” Bibeau said he was deployed to many nations around the world, often celebrating Memorial Day on foreign soil. Bibeau said Americans can enjoy cookouts and the Indianapolis 500 thanks to service members. “We must remember the sacrifices they have made in honor of our beloved country,” Bibeau said. Bibeau said he was personally celebrating many people, including family members and friends. “A lost family member in any war should

never be forgotten,” Bibeau said. “Today is the time we remember those men and women who helped deliver us our freedom and didn’t return home. We remember their achievements, their courage and their dedication. While we have this one day set aside, let us be mindful we should do this every day.” Bibeau encouraged audience members to volunteer at the VFW or American Legion, thank a veteran or listen to their stories. U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz, a Republican from Indiana’s 5th District, said she wanted “to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to all men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice. I would also like to thank all current service members and veterans for what you are doing and have done to keep our republic free and strong.”

Barn not eligible for relocation help after all By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

A historic building along 116th Street isn’t a likely candidate to be moved after all. Indiana Landmarks LANDMARKS Community Preservation Specialist Joshua Biggs said a sign advertising a historic building was available for relocation on the Faith Apostolic Church property was placed there by mistake. The sign stated that Indiana Landmarks would help move the barn to a new site. However, Biggs said Indiana Landmarks hasn’t set any funds aside to help with the project. In 2013, a survey was conducted to catalog historic properties in the City of Carmel and Clay Township. The barn was not included in the 2013 survey, but it was included in an updated 2020 survey. “In 2013, there was a survey done that made a note of things the surveyors thought were of historic value in the township,” Biggs said. “There were approximately 540 or so properties that were included on that survey. The first survey was more of a representative snapshot, and not every single property of historic value was included.” Biggs said the group wanted to compile a list that was more inclusive, so several properties that weren’t included in the 2013 survey were included in the 2020 update, including the barn on the church’s property at 1212 E. 116th St. “I don’t know how old it is, around 100 years give or take,” Biggs said. “It’s a handsome little structure.” A demolition delay ordinance was established in Carmel in 2017 that requires any properties proposing demolition of a historic structure to wait 60 days for the Carmel Historic Preservation Commission to consider solutions to save the properties. “Unfortunately, this barn was not included in the 2013 survey, so it is not subject to a 60-day demolition delay,” Biggs said. “Because of that, the commission has not considered steps to preserve (the property) or considered funds to try to relocate the barn, so at this point, the applicant is free to proceed (with demolition).” Biggs said he is not sure what the church plans to do once it demolishes the barn. The church did not respond to a request for comment.

Longest-serving patrolman to retire

AN 5-Y NI EA VE R RS AR Y!

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com After more than a quarter century of patrolling the streets of Carmel, Officer David Vanderbeck is ready for a slowPOLICE er pace of life. Vanderbeck, 49, will retire July 23 after more than 25 years with the Carmel Police Dept. He and his wife, Kathy, are planning to move to Florida’s Gulf Coast this summer, where Kathy will continue working as a speech language pathologist. Vanderbeck, a father of two adult daughters, doesn’t know what his next career move will be, but it won’t be in law enforcement, he said. The Carmel resident is the longest-serving patrol officer in CPD history. He joined the department in 1996 after a brief stint at the Terre Haute Police Dept. “I’m proud I did all of my job on the streets,” said Vanderbeck, who has served on CPD’s SWAT team since 1999. NEVER FORGET Vanderbeck has had many memorable experiences on patrol, but the most unforgettable occurred early in his career. In 1998, he was part of a team that responded to a bank robbery in Carmel committed by members of a Los Angeles gang who shot at officers before leading them on a vehicle pursuit. “We were going eastbound on 465 in the westbound lanes into oncoming traffic in the middle of noon rush hour traffic,” Vanderbeck said. The chase ended in Indianapolis near 75th Street and Shadeland Avenue, where two of the suspects fled to a nearby apartment complex and took a hostage. After a brief standoff, they surrendered to police. Another day he’ll never forget — like most others — is Sept. 11, 2001. Late that evening while working a vehicle accident on 146th Street, he saw a jet flying overhead — hours after all planes had been grounded nationwide. Then he began hearing reports of mysterious explosion sounds at Main Street and Hazel Dell Parkway, and soon he heard them, too. Later, he learned he had witnessed President George W. Bush being flown back to Washington, D.C., and that the explosion sounds were sonic booms from escorting fighter jets. ‘BURYING MY BUDDIES’ Vanderbeck has made a lasting impact among officers as well. He was instrumental in launching CPD’s Critical Incident

Stress Management Team, now known as the Police Officer Support Team, which provides wellness and mental health support for officers dealing with the aftermath of responding to a disturbing or dangerous situation. For 20 years, he was a member of the Indiana Fraternal Order of Police Critical Incident Memorial Team, a group tasked with providing support for police officers and departments across the state after an officer is killed in the line of duty. Vanderbeck said he’s attended and assisted with logistics for more than 100 funerals for police officers, which took its toll. He stepped down from the team in 2018 after helping coordinate the funeral of a good friend, THPD Officer Robert Pitts. “Mentally, I ended up having to step down, because it got to be too much,” Vanderbeck said. “I had six of my friends murdered in the line of duty, and I was in charge of burying my buddies.” MOVING ON Although Vanderbeck said he’s eager to leave behind many of the pressures of the job, it will be harder to say goodbye to the camaraderie he’s built with his fellow officers. “(I will miss) the guys, brothers and sisters, coming in and not knowing what’s going to happen that day, razzing on each other, making fun of one another and having a good time,” he said. “And making sure we all go home.” CPD Chief Jim Barlow described Vanderbeck as “a very passionate officer who served the citizens of Carmel with distinction.”

CHS rugby club wins state title By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Carmel High School Rugby Club’s approach to the season was single-minded. “With the players and coachSPORTS es, there was just one goal: Get the title,” CHS coach Leo Romero said. “We worked so much on how mentally prepared we should be, because there is a lot of pressure in a final.” The CHS Rugby Club won the Boys Rugby Division I Championship on May 31 by edging Pendleton Heights 24-23 in two OTs. Carmel finished with a 6-2 record, with one of the previous losses being against Pendleton. With approximately 35 seconds left in the second overtime, Pendleton led 23-17. Carmel’s Zach White scored a try, which is similar to a touchdown, in the middle of the posts to make the deficit 23-22. So, it came down to the two-point conversion kick. “Jean-Claude Roland, the rookie player, without knowing at that moment how much responsibility was laying on him, makes the kick through the posts and gives Carmel the victory,” Romero said. “I can’t describe how proud I am of this team. This is a game I will never forget.” Jackson McCart was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Two first-year players, junior Ryan

Strydesky and sophomore Jack Milligan, made big contributions. “They were a big asset to the team,” Romero said. “They impressed me because they had no idea what rugby was and the entire season they stepped up.” Carmel beat Louisville (Ky.) Crush in the first playoff game. Since Kentucky doesn’t have a state rugby tournament, Indiana invites Louisville to participate. Carmel defeated Avon 23-22 in the May 29 semifinals. “That was a dramatic game. We won at the very end as well,” Romero said. The title was Romero’s second in his six seasons as CHS also won in 2017. Carmel’s roster featured 27 players, including 11 seniors.

Memorable run continues with All-Stars By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Life since March has been quite good for recent Carmel High School graduate Brian Waddell. BASKETBALL “These last three months are everything I’ve hoped for since I started playing and watching basketball,” he said. “Winning a state championship, playing in the Indiana AllStar game and getting the opportunity to play at PurWaddell due next season still feels surreal in some ways. Everything really started paying off these last three months.” Waddell will play for Greyhounds coach Ryan Osborn for three more games as Osborn is coaching the All-Stars. Osborn was named to coach the 2020 team, but those All-Star games were canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The All-Stars will play the Junior All-Stars June 9 at Brownsburg High School. The senior All-Stars will play the Kentucky All-Stars at Owensboro, Ky., June 11 and at Southport High School in Indianapolis June 12 in the annual boys and girls series. “I’m most looking forward to getting to play on the same team with the best players in the state that I’ve been competing against all year,” Waddell said. The 6-foot-7 Waddell helped lead the Greyhounds to the Class 4A state championship April 3 with 20 points and 10 rebounds in a 51-46 overtime victory over Lawrence North. Entering the postseason, Waddell had only a few NCAA Division I offers but no high majors. Shortly after the state title game, Purdue coach Matt Painter offered a scholarship. “I think the last parts of the season had a lot to do with getting the Purdue offer,” Waddell said. “Being able to pull out close games and play well in tough situations is something that every college looks for.” Waddell’s CHS teammates, 6-5 guard Pete Suder and 6-10 forward Charlie Williams, were picked for the Junior All-Stars. After the season, Suder discovered he had a stress fracture in his right leg that led to a broken tibia.

ZIONSVILLE YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION EARNS ALL 5 STARS IN THE 5-STARS PROGRAM Westfield, IN, Friday, February 12th, 2021: It is with great pleasure that Indiana Soccer would like to take this time to announce that ZIONSVILLE YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION earned their final star in January to become the fourth member club to earn 5-Star status! Indiana Soccer introduced the idea and concept of the 5-Star Program in 2018. The purpose of this initiative is to assist member clubs in their legal and corporate compliance efforts and to increase their service capacity and community value. Member Clubs and leagues are invited to review and develop as needed, a few fundamental corporate disciplines in order to meet the criteria established to earn "stars" in each area. Once a member club or league has reached all 5 stars, they will be recognized and promoted for being a 5-STAR CLUB or 5-STAR LEAGUE.

ZYSA is a club open to players and families residing outside of Zionsville and Boone County). The driving factor of this unique development initiative at ZYSA is to grow the game by attracting and welcoming more players and families to participate, and continue participating, in the game of soccer while placing tremendous emphasis on the mental training and character growth of each player with the end goal of developing risk-taking, problem-solving, well-rounded leaders by the time our young people graduate from high school.

RECENT DECISIONS STIR ATTENTION AT ZIONSVILLE YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION (ZYSA)

In addition to the significant investment placed on the mental training, in partnership with Ball State University Sports Psychology Department, and character growth of each player, the holistic competitive long-term development model includes three additional cornerstones: mobility and strength training, technical training, and tactics.

ZIONSVILLE, Indiana — For the past five years, Zionsville Youth Soccer Association (ZYSA) has been driven toward providing a legitimate holistic competitive long-term development model to boys and girls youth soccer players ages u5-19 in Boone and surrounding counties (Editor’s Note:

New opportunities to ZYSA in 21-22 will be the expansion of competitive plans for several teams to the Great Lakes Alliance of the National Premier League (GLA_NPL). The addition of this regional competitive play platform will allow for teams at ZYSA ages u13 and older to compete in a

www.currentincarmel.com

parallel league (to USYS) against teams from New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. For the u13-14 teams, this extends the fall season into November, and starts the spring season in late February. For the u15 and older teams participating, the GLA_NPL will allow players and teams compete through the winter months. Teams that will be applying to the GLA_NPL in 21-22 are: 09Girl’s Green, 08G Green, 07G Green, 06G Green, 04/03G Green, 07Boy’s Green, 06B Green, 05B Green, 04B Green. Should your player/s be interested in learning more of the ZYSA holistic competitive long-term development model, the plans ZYSA has for all age groups u5-19 in the 21-22 club year, or the competitive play expansion being made to the GLA_NPL, please reach out to the Director of Player & Staff Development, Jonathan McClure, via email jonathan@zysa.org.

Entertainment, food to abound By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com CarmelFest’s KidsZone chair William L. Howard II said the entertainment area will have something for evCARMELFEST eryone during the July 4-5 festival. “We will be featuring a gyroscope, a petting zoo, a variety of animals that kids will be able to feed, a bungee jump, a 25-foot rock-climbing wall and a unique interactive bird experience,” Howard said. “We will also have hand-washing and sanitation stations appropriately located within the KidsZone.” CarmelFest chair Steve Krusie said the KidsZone won’t have inflatable bounce houses because the sanitizing protocols would be too difficult to manage. Jill Gilmer, food chair, said there will be family friendly food at Carter Green and several returning food vendors in the Gazebo area. Popular items like chicken on a stick, funnel cakes and roasted corn also will return, Gilmer said. The main difference in the Marketplace this year is there will be vendors in two locations: by the Palladium and the traditional

Hamilton County organizations benefit from UWCI grant By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com United Way of Central Indiana recently awarded $10.55 million in Basic Needs Fund grants to 63 organizaNONPROFITS tions across central Indiana, including three organizations in Hamilton County. The funds will be used to help children, families and individuals gain access to basic needs, such as nutritious food, safe and affordable housing, health care services and transportation. Individual grants ranged from $30,000 to $625,000. Last year, UWCI awarded $8.3 million in Basic Needs Fund grants to 58 organization. This year’s funding is a 27 percent increase from last year’s. “United Way understands the ongoing strain on our community as we slowly emerge from the pandemic,” stated Sara VanSlambrook, chief impact officer for UWCI. “Therefore, we used one-time unrestricted funding to supplement our usual

fundraising to be responsive to the significant and timely needs of individuals and families across our region.” Among the local recipients was Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County, which provides programs and resources to support senior citizens living an independent lifestyle. ““This past year, our partnership with United Way of Central Indiana has been essential to allow us to reach more aging adults than ever before during this critical time,” stated Lauren Guynn, executive director of Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County. “We are so pleased to continue this partnership with United Way of Central Indiana for the Basic Needs grant. This award will allow Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County to address vital essentials for our clients, such as transportation, mental health and food scarcity.” Other Hamilton County recipients are the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville and PrimeLife Enrichment in Carmel. Each received $50,000.

Feeding Families opens food pantry at Carmel church By Ashleigh Swan news@currentincarmel.com Feeding Families Hamilton County has opened its first food pantry in Carmel at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church FAITH at 10655 Haverstick Rd. The pantry, which is at the 106th Street entrance to the church, provides free items for families in need of basic necessities. “We are excited to have an opportunity to

provide for folks in and around Carmel,” said Greg Fleckenstein, director of evangelization at Seton. Feeding Families launched in Hamilton County in 2019 when business owners Mark and Lisa Hall of Noblesville felt compelled to assist community members in need. After evaluating a pre-COVID American Community Survey, the Halls found that 27,000 people in Hamilton County struggle with food insecurities. “People don’t think that the face of hun-

OBITUARIES Otis Scott McKinney, 95, of Carmel passed away May 31, 2021. Scott was born on September 16, 1925 in Sheridan, Indiana to the late Ralph and Roxie (Tabor) McKinney. He married Luciena Marie Ross on January 25, 1947. They were married over 74 years. Scott was a farmer his whole life. He enjoyed fishing and hunting. His four grandsons and ten great grandchildren were a great joy to him. He will be greatly missed. He was preceded in death by his son Stan, siblings; Hesper, Eva, Kenneth and Betty.

Survivors include wife Luciena, son Melvin Scott “Pete” McKinney (Ruth), Grandsons; Jess (Courtney), Mike (Jill), Nick (Brooke), John (Lauren) and ten great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 3091 E 98th St # 240, Indianapolis, IN 46280. A memorial service was held June 4 at Flanner Buchanan-Oaklawn Memorial Gardens (Conner Suite), 9700 Allisonville Rd. Indianapolis. Online condolences may be shared at www.flannerbuchanan.com.

Jennifer E. Alderman, 45 of Carmel, passed away Friday, May 28, 2021 at her home surrounded by her loving family. Jenny was born September 29, 1975 in Chattanooga, TN. After graduating from Father Ryan High School in Nashville, Tennessee, Jennifer moved to Louisville, Ky where she attended Bellarmine University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. This is where she met her husband of 21 years, Rob. They ultimately settled in Carmel, Indiana, a community Jenny was honored to be a part of and felt comfortable calling home. Jenny’s proudest accomplishment was being a mom to her three children, Casey, Connor and Riley. She volunteered countless hours to their various activities. You could often find her helping out in their classrooms, chaperoning on their field trips, coaching their sports teams and always cheering them on, quite loudly at times, from the sideline. She was their biggest cheerleader in all that they did. Jenny was a multi-faceted, well-rounded person who touched the lives of many. She was respected and loved by all. From her longlasting and endearing friendship with her

college girlfriends, “The Rats,” to the many other friendships she forged along the way, her loss will be grieved by many. Jenny was a member of St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church. She was an amazing wife, an awesome Mom, a daughter, a sister, a photographer, a writer, an athlete, a fierce competitor, a warrior, a sports enthusiast, a frequent concertgoer and someone who truly loved and valued life. She lived her life to the fullest, with no regrets and not a minute wasted. Jenny was active in Twisted Pink, an organization providing hope and connection for people facing metastatic breast cancer. Family and friends gathered June 2 at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church, where a funeral mass was celebrated June 3. Jenny is survived by her husband, Rob; children, Casey, Connor and Riley; parents, Dan and Ellyn Casey; sister, Terry (husband, Eddie) Cato; several nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Twisted Pink (www.twistedpink.org). Please visit flannerbuchanan.com to sign the online guest register.

ger in Hamilton County looks like me or you,” Mark Hall said. “So, we started looking for ideas, and one of those ideas came from the Nazarene Church in Louisville, Ky., who have 40 of these outdoor free food pantries.” After evaluating the Nazarene Church model, the only thing that the Halls changed was adding a budget. “We go out and take a piece of every sale of our business and will buy groceries for the pantries,” Mark Hall said. The Halls now have a team of 14 families to help organize and fill pantries. Tasks include removing expired products, marking out UPC codes so people can’t take them back for cash and also removing torn products. The pantries are built by IVY Tech students and then painted and installed by Gaylor Electric. Each pantry is filled with 500 meals when launched. “We are not looking for homeless people,” Mark Hall said. “We are targeting people who are skipped over.” Members of the community can donate nonperishable items to the pantries. “Folks can drive up and contribute and

Missing smiles, laughter Commentary by Lorene Burkhart We smile when we feel happy or glad to see someone. It makes us feel good to smile, and it makes the PLAIN TALK receiver feel good, too. Songwriters and crooners have recognized how important smiles are; there are more than 50 songs that have “smile” in the title – “When You’re Smiling,” “Can’t Smile Without You” and “The Shadow of Your Smile” are just a few. Remember the game show catchphrase, “Smile, you’re on ‘Candid Camera?’” Since the beginning of masking last year, we are missing smiles in our lives. I wonder how it will affect children who are accustomed to gauging the emotional temperature of their parents by whether they are smiling or frowning. Time will tell. Let’s move on to chuckles, giggles and laughs. Have you ever thought about the unique laugh that each of us has? It’s almost like a fingerprint that identifies us. Some people have deep belly laughs, while others barely make a sound. When comedy shows began to air on television in the 1950s they always had a

live audience, because the performers needed validation and home audiences wanted to laugh with others. Even before television shows, the comedy radio shows of the ‘30s and ‘40s realized that audiences wanted to hear laughter, so they played canned laughs. We all enjoy laughing along with someone. Sometimes we get a laugh from something if we’re alone, but we generally just grin or chuckle until we share the story and can laugh with others. It’s difficult to imagine life without laughter. The horror stories we’ve read about the concentration camps help us realize how fortunate we are to be able to laugh freely. The smiles are still there, just waiting to be seen. Don’t give up on sharing your smiles and laughing anytime, just to feel good.

Lorene Burkhart resides at The Stratford in West Clay. She is the author of seven books.

A love story: Tobacco and coffee By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Images of whiskey may accompany one’s thoughts when thinking of enjoying a luxury cigar, but Blend Bar co-owner and President Corey Johnston said the best beverage to enjoy with a cigar is coffee. “What’s unique about coffee is, it’s available all over the world, and so is tobacco,” Johnston said. “Coffee is still the No. 1 beverage. Coffees from different parts of the world have unique flavor profiles, so we blended our own brand of coffee (with Hubbard & Cravens) from Africa, and we think it pairs best with the cigar. It’s sort of like a wine pairing with cheese. What makes it so delightful is you can have different types of coffee and it hits the palate differently, just like tobacco, just like wine, just like food.” Blend Bar opened at 3981 E. 82nd St. in Castleton in 2013. In 2017 it was named the best cigar lounge in the world by Cigar Journal. Since then, Johnston has strived to create a luxurious space that lives up to the title. Despite being a cigar bar, the inside of the building isn’t foggy with smoke. A $300,000 HVAC system circulates the air eight times per hour. “We went above and beyond trying to make

the furniture and interior design something relaxing and comfortable and approachable,” Johnston said. “A lot of people come in and think it’s going to be a smoky bar, and yes, it’s a lounge that has smoking, but the way the ventilation is, it takes away that.” Blend Bar also employs the state’s only cigar sommelier, Richard Peyton. His job is to help connect customers with the perfect cigar. Blend Bar’s cigars are 100 percent tobacco that has been aged five to seven years. Unlike a cigarette, the cigars have no added toxins and take about 2 hours to smoke. For more, visit blendbarcigar.com.

I started writing Current Publishing’s Behind Bars column almost six years ago, at age 21. I didn’t truly appreciate a balanced cocktail until after years of refining my palette and learning what it means to put the “craft” in craft cocktail. Writing the column also has refined my palette to be less appreciative of overwhelmingly sugary simple syrups and more apprecia- Use brown sugar instead of regular simtive of a balanced recipe, which led ple syrup to create a cozy cocktail called The Journalist. (Photo by Anna Skinner) to the creation of a recipe that is truly my own — a rich, cozy take on the old-fashioned that I like to call “The Journalist.” I like to actually taste the liquor in my drinks, so if you don’t want a punchy bourbon beverage, then add a bit more sugar. Ingredients: 1/2 tablespoon loosely packed brown sugar, 1/2 tablespoon warm water, dash of cherry bitters, dash of chocolate bitters, 2 oz. Maker’s Mark FAE-01 limited released bourbon, bourbon cherry, orange swath Directions: Muddle brown sugar with 1/2 tablespoon of warm water and both bitters in the bottom of a rocks glass. I actually enjoy a little bit of gritty brown sugar in my cocktail, but if you want a smoother version, use a pre-made brown sugar simple syrup. Place a large ice cube in the glass and add bourbon, then express the orange swath over the drink and tuck it next to the ice along the rim. Add a bourbon cherry and enjoy. Cheers!

Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano’s house-made limoncello is so popular, owner Adson Franco orders 5,500 lemons each year to keep up with demand. Limoncello, a lemon liqueur made from soaking lemon peel in grain alcohol and adding simple syrup, is used as either an aperitif or digestif, in which it can be enjoyed either before or after a meal. It originated in Italy in the early 20th century. Franco said the Italian regions of Naples, Sorento and Amalfi claim bragging rights for creating the alcoholic beverage. Franco makes 5-gallon batches of limoncello at a time. Although Indiana liquor laws prevent him from selling it by the bottle, an $8 glass of limoncello is still the restaurant’s most popular beverage. “We make it in-house and peel about 100 lemons, and that’ll give us about 5 gallons,” Franco said. “We go through about 100 gallons monthly. We are always making it. We order lemons three times a week.” Franco orders the lemons from Sorento, Italy. Sorento lemons differ from American

lemons. “American lemons are smaller,” Franco said. “Italian lemons are a bit sweeter, and it’s just a cleaner flavor. It’s not as bitter.” Franco soaks lemon peels in high-quality grain alcohol for two to three weeks. When the peels have absorbed the alcohol, he makes a simple syrup out of boiling water and sugar and filters it through the lemon peel three times. Then, he freezes the golden liquid for 10 hours. The final product is limoncello. For more, visit matteosindy.com.

Shop celebrates 25 years By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com For the past 25 years, Noble Coffee & Tea has been a cozy place for the community to gather. Co-owner Robyn Wilson began working at the shop in 2009 as a barista for Jim Howard, the original owner, but her memories span further back. “I grew up here in Noblesville and graduated from Noblesville High School, so everything is very familiar to me – the customers, teachers, people I went to school with,” Wilson said. “For me, it’s important to keep a place that is comfortable and provides everybody a place to go.” Recently, Wilson was working at the shop when she overheard a customer say that Noble Coffee & Tea was similar to safe spaces in video games. “I guess in video games there’s safe spaces and a place you go to rest, and I thought that was a really nice thing,” she said. The shop, at 933 Logan St. in downtown Noblesville, celebrated its silver anniversary in April but had a low-key celebration because of COVID-19 restrictions. Wilson said she’s considering another celebration later

this year. The most popular item on the menu is still filter coffee because it’s roasted next door, but Wilson said boba tea has started to become popular as well. Boba tea originated in Taiwan and usually consists of tea with chewy tapioca balls. Noble Coffee & Tea also offers popping boba, which has a fruit flavor when bitten. The shop is open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, and 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Wilson said she plans to extend Friday and Saturday hours in the coming weeks.

Columnist names top 5 patios Commentary by Anna Skinner As Current Publishing’s At the Table with Anna’s food columnist, I have been blessed to visit more than 200 restaurants in the area and comb through those options to find the best patio dining for you to enjoy this summer. Juniper on Main, 110 E. Main St., Carmel I will never stop singing praises for Juniper on Main. The owners have gone above and beyond in decorating the Southern/ coastal fare restaurant, and when I dined on the patio in warm weather, it seemed to transport me directly to Charleston or Savannah. Not only is the food delicious, but the quaint patio is a great place to watch the hustle and bustle of downtown Carmel while dining under Edison lights. 3UP, 201 W. Main St., Carmel Perched on top of Anthony’s Chophouse in downtown Carmel, 3UP is a rooftop bar with luxurious touches like a living plant wall and a picturesque view of the Arts & Design District. 1933 Lounge, 9707 District N. Drive, Suite 1120, Fishers One of my favorite parts of 1933 Lounge in

Juniper on Main’s quaint patio is At the Table with Anna’s top spot for outdoor dining in Hamilton County. (File photo)

Fishers, in addition to its 21-and-older policy, is that it has an indoor/outdoor patio if you want a bit of fresh air but don’t want to be fully exposed to the elements. Field Brewing, 303 E. Main St., Westfield Who doesn’t love gardens and games? Field Brewing’s front yard is a beautiful garden, and the back patio has a bocce ball court and a green space for kids and adults to enjoy. Sun King Brewing, 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel Speaking of games, if you’re in the mood for table tennis, an outdoor greenspace, outdoor movies and lounge-style seating in the great outdoors, be sure to check out Carmel’s Midtown Plaza and grab a beer at Sun King while you’re at it.

Development of The Bridges in Carmel, The Farm at Zionsville moving forward after family lawsuits settled By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com For several years after receiving approval from local officials, two major development projects got put on hold in Carmel and Zionsville as the landowning family battled in court over the future of the sites. But the development of a future phase of The Bridges in Carmel and The Farm at Zionsville are moving forward again after the Pittman family settled its lawsuits in late October 2020. The settlement gives full ownership of the sites to Indiana brothers Steve, Scott and Chad Pittman, who must make payments over several years to their siblings Mark Pittman and Anne Kelton, who live out of state. “In my opinion, the settlement provides the West Coast Pittmans with what they wanted, which was money, and the Indiana Pittmans what they wanted, and that was the ownership of the compaPittman nies which owned the land so that the Indiana Pittmans could fulfill the vision that was established with the approval of our PUDs,” said Steve Pittman, who has developed several other projects in and around Hamilton County. The siblings went to court following the 2014 death of their father, John Pittman. Steve Pittman declined to discuss details of the lawsuits, settlement and lasting impact on the family, but he described the events of the past several years as an “extremely challenging” and an “eye-opening time.” “The three Indiana families are closer than we’ve ever been, very aligned not only in our business philosophies but our friendships with our families and cousins than we’ve ever been,” he said. “On the one hand, it was a tragedy that something like that would happen, but on the other hand, the three Indiana families have come out stronger and closer than we would have without that.” Mark Pittman and Kelton also declined to elaborate on the matter. “Our case has been resolved, and I look forward to the successful development of the properties,” they stated in an email. With the court battles behind them, Steve

Approved uses for The Farm include 225,000 square feet of office and retail space and up to 400 multifamily units. But eight years after gaining the town council’s approval, the site remains vacant beyond the structures that were once part of the family farm. Steve Pittman hopes that will soon change. “We anticipate that before the end of the year we will be moving forward with a plan for probably the first 300 multifamily units,” he said. “We’re talking to some retail and office users there as well.” Kroger has pulled its plans to build a Fresh Fare on the site, as it acquired two nearby former Marsh supermarket buildings after the chain went out of business in 2017. Steve Pittman said he’d still like to see a grocery store as part of the development Plans are moving forward to develop 21 acres south of Market District in The Bridges.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Personal connections

Summer survival strategy

Commentary by Terry Anker Our one-time cultural proclivity to stay home in the evenings with our families led to a communal television viewing experience. “The Love Boat” was soon making another run and most of us were there to watch it. Perhaps it was a combination of a handful of television stations available and about the same options to dine out, but we could largely count on a water-cooler conversation the next day about the hilarity from the night before. Today, we binge watch. But back then, it was must-see TV. The Huxtables gave us a new way to look at the world, together. Now, we are keeping up with the Kardashians and a mob of dystopian zombie, the-world-is-over programming, as if there is much difference. But unlike where we once found commonality, we are now fully subdivided. Some of us get our undead on cable — others use HBO Max, or Disney+, or Netflix, or Hulu, or Amazon Prime, or even Pluto TV. And isn’t there still “free” programming flying through the air? For some, media is delivered exclusively via even more personal methods. We enjoy YouTube on our phones, watches, or have programming projected directly into our eyes via Google Glass. Like an ever-increasing variety of things, we retreat to our own little enclaves, all by ourselves, even as we imagine that we are connected night and day. It has been a long-time coming. Many of us drink our water from personal bottles — even if the office has a cooler, it hasn’t been seen, or refilled, during the months of pandemic furlough. Private bottles are alleged to be healthier. There is no risk without interaction, right? Still, is it possible that we are causing one problem by solving another? Can we be “all in this together” if we are no longer together?

Summer is finally here, friends, and while in the past I would have shared my plan for surviving these next two months with kids at home, this year I have no such delusions that chore charts and curfews have any effect. For 2021, my Generation Z-ers will be 100 percent free range! Maybe I’m making a huge mistake, but honestly, with three of the four back from independent college living, why bother? Half the time they aren’t even in the house, so making Wednesdays Andrew’s night for dinner is a literal crapshoot on whether or not I’ll get a meal. And any attempt on my part to have our precious little angels home by midnight is nullified by my strict 9 p.m. bedtime. As they say to me incessantly, “It’s not like you’ll know, Mom!” Fair point. Nope, this June and July will be about encouraging rather than requiring domestic responsibility and good decision making. We will maximize our finely tuned parental skills of shaming and guilt-tripping to encourage them to be contributing members of our Wilson tribe. Examples include: “That’s my new Xanax prescription for when I wake at three in the morning and your car isn’t in the driveway. It keeps me from calling hospitals thinking you’re dead on a forgotten ER gurney.” “Yeah, I see an orthopedic now for my debilitating carpel tunnel from all the extra dishwashing and laundry folding.” “We had to cancel our anniversary trip to pay for the increased Meijer bill. No big deal. Twenty-five isn’t a big one.” “I drink because you leave half-eaten carne asadas on the couch.” Sorry to be of no help this summer. And godspeed, friends. Godspeed. Peace out.

READERS’ VIEWS

LET US HELP YOU dazzle

Why CCS needs a DEI officer Editor, It surprised and saddened me to read the opening of the cover story in the May 11 edition of Current in Carmel. In this day and age, or in any age for that matter, to get “strange looks and comments” as a man of color for liking fishing is a sorry state of things. How little thought goes into that reaction, when African-Americans have been fishing for their sustenance as well as recreation along the coasts and in rivers since they were first brought to this country 400 years ago. It is an indication of how little progress has been made in the matters that a diversity, equity and inclusion officer is charged with accomplishing. Which brings me to the letter to the

editor about a mother whose daughter objected to sharing a bathroom with a “transgender boy.” There undoubtedly are reasons for a girl not to share a bathroom with a boy, cis- or transgender. A girl should not be bothered by sharing a bathroom with any girl, cis- or transgender, because that is why there are girls and ladies rooms, so the girls, who consider themselves girls and only girls, can be safe and secure among themselves. It would appear – ALISON BROWN that the sexual confusion is on the part of the parents and has been transmitted to the child leading to that lack of acceptance, which is part of the duty of a DEI officer to clarify. Alison Brown, Carmel

In this day and age, or in any age for that matter, to get “strange looks and comments” as a man of color for liking fishing is a sorry state of things.

A ‘snowflake world’ concerning Editor, I read the letter authored by Peter Lenges (May 18 issue) regarding his feelings about a letter appearing the previous week written by Jason Peek. I was rather perplexed by Mr. Langes’ comments, as I did not remember reading a letter that even remotely resembled Mr. Lenges’ description. Thinking that I missed something big, I obtained a copy of the May 11 Current and read Mr. Peek’s letter. I was rather surprised by Mr. Lenges’ significant mischaracterization of Mr. Peek’s commentary, which, among other things, Mr. Lenges described as hateful. To the contrary, Mr. Peek’s letter was quite poignant, the overarching theme of which was that life can be a struggle. His

message was to meet life’s challenges head on instead of waiting for someone to solve them for you, to tackle life’s challenges through diligence, hard work and perseverance. Along life’s way, if someone such as a parent, teacher or friend should step forward and lend a hand, so be it. I believe that our society will continue to devolve if we allow the government to further meddle in our lives under the guise of solving our problems — put a chicken in everyone’s pot, as the saying goes. This is not the legitimate purpose of government. The increasing drift toward a snowflake world is the antithesis of what made our nation great. T. Stuart Smith, Carmel

Curious timing of Memorial Day ceremony Editor, Just curious, the Memorial Day ceremony in Carmel was when? Oh yeah, the Friday before (Memorial Day) at 9 a.m. Makes sense. Perhaps next year we could at least

hold it at midnight so working folks would have some opportunity to attend. In gratitude to those whose sacrifices can never be repaid! Mark J Janicki, Carmel

Preventative foot care for men

Treatment of Hip & Knee Arthritis

Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan In honor of Men’s Health Month and Father’s Day, I’m focusing on PODIATRY preventative foot health for men this month. Must-have men’s foot care products • Good moisturizer: Men’s feet are notoriously dry, leading to cracked, bleeding heels. Buy a moisturizer — with urea — and use it every day. Apply cream right before bed. Then, slip on socks and let the feet soak up the moisture all night long. • Supportive orthotics: Whether standing or at a desk all day, men put lots of pressure on their feet, which can lead to foot pain. To take the weight off of the feet and keep arch and heel pain at bay, invest in a pair of orthotics. Preventative care for men’s feet • Clean and dry the feet daily: Men often deal with athlete’s foot, a fungal infection that usually develops on the soles of the feet or between the toes. To avoid this problem, change socks every day and wash and dry feet at least once a day. Reduce the risk by spraying shoes with anti-fungal spray. • Keep them covered: Walking barefoot leaves feet open to fungal infections as well as injuries. It forces bare feet to absorb the full shock of walking, leading to heel and arch pain. To avoid this problem, always wear your shoes. • Watch for changes: Look at your feet regularly. A change in the color of the nails, a new bump on the side of the foot, or harder spots of skin, especially between or on the toes, are all signs of a problem. Contact our office right away. Just like you see your general physician once a year, check in annually with a podiatrist. And, when any discomfort or pain develops, it’s even more important to schedule an appointment with a podiatrist. That way, a small issue with your feet won’t become a major problem.

Eye-opening sleepover parties By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

TELL YOUR STORY BY ADVERTISING YOUR BUSINESS IN ONEZONE’S MARKET GUIDE Carmel and Fishers comprise one of the top commerce areas in all of Indiana. With no end in sight for growth and development, the cities represent the present and future of enterprise to our nearly 1,300 members and tens of thousands of consumers in our midst. Market Guide debuts Aug. 17, 2021, and it will be distributed to all 63,289 households in our two cities. It will be a magazine-style publication and will include a complete chamber membership directory and stories on key topics that drive commerce in our cities as well as a look at the future.

It started two years ago when Heather Halliburton wanted to make her daughter’s eighth birthday special. NEW BIZ The Westfield resident admitted she got a bit carried away with preparations. Amid sewing fabrics and awaiting Amazon orders for the party, she realized it could be a side business. “I realized it’s something we could do as a family to supplement our incomes,” she said. She told a friend and showed him pictures. His 9-year-old daughter wanted the same party. “It took off from there with Facebook posts,” said Halliburton, a human resources executive. So, Wonderland Sleepovers was launched with the purpose of turning ordinary sleepovers into unforgettable experiences. The sleepover parties, which include individualized tents with a full adult-sized mattress, can be for a variety of occasions. Mattress pads, sheets, blankets, fairy lights, breakfast trays and themed accessories are included. “We charge on the amount of tents that are ordered, and we also offer party favors,” Halliburton said. Halliburton, who has 20 tents, said most parties have four to eight tents. Clients can choose one of 10 themes, such as “Sweet Dreams,” “Star Wars,” “Summer Fun” and “Harry Potter.” Halliburton’s daughter, Alexis, now 10, is a key consultant on the themes. Halliburton’s husband, Scott, helps with operations.

“One of the catalysts for me wanting to start the business was my own personal interest in trying an entrepreneurial path as well as modeling that for Alexis,” Halliburton said. Wonderland Sleepovers serves all of Hamilton County, Zionsville and northern Indianapolis. Although the business understandably slowed during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has started to pick up again. Although younger children, preteen and teen boys and girls have been the primary market, Halliburton said she is expanding offerings this summer to include an outdoor package designed for adult entertaining, including glamping, graduation parties, weddings and baby showers. During the summer with school out, Halliburton said she gets more requests for weekday sleepover parties. For more, visit wonderlandsleepovers. com.

The Catalyst assists veterans By Grady Michael Gaynor news@currentincarmel.com On Sept. 11, 2001, Daniel Hance was with his roommate in his college dormitory witnessing the most devastating JOBS terrorist attack in U.S. history. It was in that moment he decided he would join the Armed Forces. Hance served 17 years in the military as a field artillery officer, and upon sustaining an injury, became a logistics officer. Hance Upon leaving the service, Hance saw himself and many of his fellow veterans struggling to make the transition from life in the military to life as civilians. So, in 2017, the Carmel resident launched The Catalyst, a six-week program for military veterans that provides a multifaceted approach to assist in the military-to-civilian transition. It combines civilian recruiting with in-class undergraduate and graduate education, mentoring, networking, on-thejob shadowing and mental health resources. Despite having transferable skills, many

veterans struggle to find careers in the civilian world because of a lack of experience in civilian workplaces and potential PTSD or other stress-related mental health issues from trauma in the service. “Many civilian employers cannot comprehend the skill sets people develop while in the Armed Forces,” Hance said. “Pressure creates diamonds, and these folks are diamonds.” Participants in The Catalyst earn up to six credit hours toward their MBA, and up to 90 credit hours towards their BA in Business Management, based on their military experience.

Boutique offers ‘timeless’ clothes

ANNUAL SUN, SAND, & SEE SALE

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Joan “Lilly” Carney, a Carmel resident, opened a new Zionsville boutique last month after moving her busiNEW BIZ ness to her home four years ago. The Lilly’s Wearable Art storefront is at 110 N. Main St. The boutique is the second she has operated in Zionsville. In 1992, Carney opened her first store, Lilly’s Boutique, and moved operations to her house four years ago. But because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she said she began to miss interacting with customers on a more frequent basis. “I said to myself, ‘I’m too social and love doing this too much to do this one day a week,’” Carney said. “I don’t want to see myself in the mirror every time I turn around, saying, ‘What are you doing here?’” As she did with her first business, Carney plans to find clothes for her boutique by traveling to different nations and selecting individual pieces to sell at her store, but she has not left the country during the pandemic.

Come SEE us during the month of June!

“I would go to different countries oversees to search for artisans and to just learn about different cultures,” Carney said. The boutique will sell items from Africa, Thailand, Scotland and Ireland, among other nations. Carney said the store is “like a story” of her travels around the world. “I care about timeless fashion,” she said. “People often say to me today, ‘I’m still getting compliments on the thing I bought from you the first year you were in business.’ And I say, ‘I’m not surprised because my clothes are not trendy. They’re timeless, and they’re artistic and creative.’”

Center for the Performing Arts’ schedule features a mix of performers By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Center for the Performing Arts announced its 2021-22 Center Presents season schedule June 8. But MUSIC expect more to come is the message from President/CEO Jeffrey C. McDermott. “This is what is booked to date,” McDermott said. “There are still a number of artists who aren’t touring yet and are still trying to put tours together. We know we’ll be adding a number of shows as we go, just because there are ongoing tours that aren’t announced just yet.” Many national acts are waiting to see how the nation bounces back from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has shut down much of the entertainment world since March 2020. The 2021-22 season opens with Rufus Wainwright and José González: Unfollow the Rules in the Local Valley Tour Sept. 25. The final announced show will feature Center for the Performing Arts Artistic Director Michael Feinstein and Sandi Patty May 7. Most of the announced shows will be at the Palladium, with some at The Tarkington. “COVID rules are still different in different states, so an artist touring in the Midwest, Michigan might have different rules than Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky,” McDermott said. “Some of the larger commercial artists are pointing their finger in the air and seeing which way the wind is blowing. We’re pretty excited about what we’ve booked so far. I think Randy Rainbow (Oct. 7) is going to be an interesting one. We always love Pink Martini (Oct. 23) and Postmodern Jukebox (Dec 10). Singer/ songwriter Ben Folds (Nov. 12) is going to be very well received, and that is one (performer) we’ve been trying to get for a number of years.” Folds is on a solo piano tour. “Our country fans will love Clint Black (Oct. 24), and those who enjoy gospel, Christian music, the Gaither Vocal Band (Nov. 7) is very popular with them,” McDer-

mott said. Holiday concerts include Debby Boone (Dec. 4) and Dave Koz & Friends Christmas Tour (Dec. 11). “Dave Koz is popular and has become a tradition around here,” McDermott said. “We have some tribute bands coming in like 1964 The Tribute (The Beatles, March 11, 2022) and George Michael Tribute (March 5, 2022). When you can bring in Itzhak Perlman (April 9, 2022), who is one of the great violin virtuosos of our time, that is saying something as well.” Perlman, who made his debut on the “The Ed Sullivan Show” at age 13, has 16 Grammy Awards. “There is a lot to choose from here,” McDermott said. “We’re really focused on diversity, equity and inclusion, and we’re trying to make that stand out in our programing, making sure we’ve got something that will be attractive to our community and beyond. A bit of our theme is looking forward, and no one wants to look back at the last 15 months, other than lessons learned, and we did learn some. There are things we changed in how we do things that were out of necessity, but we’ll continue to do that because we

know they work. We’ve learned a lot about livestreaming capabilities. I don’t think anything beats coming to a show and seeing it in person.” The annual gala will be virtual and streamed live Sept. 18 from the Palladium. The event will feature Feinstein, a gospel choir and other performers and surprise guests. Donations and auction proceeds will support the Center’s artistic and educational programming. Among other highlights are Brubeck Brothers Quartet: Dave Brubeck Centennial Celebration, Oct. 2; The King’s Singers, Dec. 12; An Evening with David Sedaris, Dec. 15; The Company Men, Feb. 18, 2022; Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Feb. 27; and Peking Acrobats, March 26.

JUNE 18

OUR FATHERS’ FAVORITES Please visit atistage.org for more information and to purchase tickets for this performance.

The Cool Creek Summer Concert Series returns with some old favorites and a newly formed band, CONCERTS “We always attempt to provide a mix of confirmed favorites and performers we’ve researched and feel our loyal fans would enjoy like Barometer Soup,” said Don Nicholls, resource development specialist for Hamilton County Parks and Recreation. “So far, that formula has proven successful.” The series, at Cool Creek Park in Westfield, opens June 11 with Dave and Rae. The series follows with: • June 18, Barometer Soup • July 9, 45 RPM • July 16, The Doo! Band • July 30, Stella Luna and the Satellites • Aug. 6, The Flying Toasters. Barometer Soup, a Jimmy Buffett tribute band which was formed earlier this year, features Tim Wright of the Wright Brothers, and Steve Greenberg, Current Publishing co-founder, as primary vocalists. The band features Dane Clark, who

has played drums for John Mellencamp since 1996, and Randy Melson, Sandi Patty’s bassist. The 12-member band is set up as a near replica of Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band. “We believe the Parrot Head Nation will be out in force at the park for this concert,” Nicholls said of Barometer Soup. The 2020 series was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “At this time, we are hoping to put on the concerts without crowd restrictions,” Nicholls said. “We will be paying close attention to state and local health officials’ recommendations. One thing 2020 taught everyone responsible for planning community events is to expect the unexpected. Even though we hope the worst of the pandemic is behind us, HCPR is not assuming anything and refuses to let its guard down. The event planning team has made, and continues to make, decisions related to concert activities designed to keep not only everyone safe, but comfortable as well.” The concerts begin at 7 p.m. Gates open at 6 p.m. Admission is $5. Children 12 and under are admitted free.

BTCA presents ‘Cinderella’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Natalie Heinemeyer understands it will be difficult to make her final performance with the Ballet Theatre of Carmel BALLET Academy. “I am focusing on the performance, but I know how much I will miss everyone,” said Heinemeyer, who has been with the BTCA since 2013. “I am thankful for our tight community at BTCA.” The 18-year-old Westfield resident will make her final appearance in the title role of “Cinderella” June 12 and 13 at Marian University in Indianapolis. The shows are at 2 and 7:30 p.m. each day. “This will be my first time as Cinderella,” said Heinemeyer, who will major in dance a Butler University in the fall. “I’m excited to bring this iconic character to life. After the past year, I am really looking forward to dancing on stage in an auditorium with an audience. I’ve missed performing. This will be my first time as Cinderella.

Big Hoffa’s adds ice cream shop By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Big Hoffa’s Freezery opened May 14 and will complement its famous barbecue menu with hand-dipped ice cream, DINING regular shakes and Insane Shakes. “We have these shakes called Insane Shakes, and they are massive 20 oz. cups of ice cream shapes topped with all different kinds of ingredients,” owner Adam Hoffman said. “One of them is called Tears of a Mermaid, and it has a cinnamon roll on top with cotton candy and donuts and sprinkles and whipped cream, and it stands about a footand-a-half tall.” There are eight Insane Shakes. They cost $15 each. The other ice cream items on the menu range from $3 to $7. Hoffman said he’s always wanted to open an ice cream shop inside of Big Hoffa’s, 800 E. Main St., Westfield. “I have been to different areas around the country that had those shakes and they’re really awesome and fun,” Hoffman said. “There’s not anything like that in the area. I wanted to bring something different to Hamilton County, and based on the things we do at Big Hoffa’s and our crazy creations over there, it was the perfect fit for us.”

The Tears of a Mermaid Insane Shake is 1-1/2-foot tall and features a cinnamon roll, doughnut, cotton candy and other ingrediants. (Submitted photo)

Twenty Tap The spicy crispy southern chicken sandwich is made with in-house hot sauce. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner

FRIDAY, JUNE 18

GATES: 4PM | MATCH: 6PM

Hickory Hall Polo Club 7551 E 100 N, Whitestown, IN 46075

Address: 5406 N. College Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Crispy southern chicken Price: $13 Anna’s take: I recently went to Twenty Tap in Broad Ripple for a Current Publishing editors’ night out. Although I’ve never been, I was pleased with the spicy crispy southern chicken sandwich that I ordered. The sandwich is available regular or spicy, and if you’re a frequent reader of this column, you know I enjoy spicy. I was very pleased

with how hot the in-house hot sauce was, and if you’re sensitive to spicy things, I would suggest ordering the regular version because the spicy one definitely cleared my sinuses. The breaded chicken breast is topped with Bibb lettuce, tomatoes, house pickles and a black pepper aioli and served with a side of fries. As its name implies, Twenty Tap sells beers on tap, although according to its website, it has 38 offerings rather than 20. Regardless, it had some unique offerings. The Bare Hands Thai PA, a Thai-spiced IPA, paired wonderfully with the heat of the chicken.

Behind bars: Jackson was a Rapper Get it at Hotel Tango, Zionsville Ingredients: 1 oz. vodka, 1 oz. orangecello, .5 oz. lime juice, .5 oz. tangerine, ginger simple syrup, 1 dash grapefruit bitters, orange swath, rosemary sprig Directions: Shake liquid ingredients together, express an orange swath in a chilled coupe glass and serve neat, then garnish with the rosemary.

Let your (master bathroom) light shine Commentary by Bill Bernard When we talk to homeowners about remodeling their master bathrooms, we regularly hear about a large REMODELING tub that often goes unused and a relatively small shower that gets used constantly. The bathroom pictured here is one such bathroom. The “before” picture shows a rather large built-in tub placed in between a relatively short (height and length) vanity and a fully enclosed and cramped shower. A large glass block window brought sunlight into the room, but the light was largely blocked off by the walls enclosing the shower. It was important to our homeowner that we find a way to let the light coming through the window fill the space.

Visiting the Indiana Medical History Museum Commentary by Don Knebel With international travel more difficult, my next several columns will focus on interesting sites closer to home. TRAVEL Today, we will visit the Indiana Medical History Museum. In 1895, Indiana established a pathology laboratory on the grounds of the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane in Indianapolis. The laboratory, housed in a 19-room building designed by the architect of the Indiana Statehouse, enabled physicians to study the causes and treatment of mental illness. Considered the best such laboratory in the world at the time, it included an autopsy room; rooms where tissue samples were prepared and studied; a chemistry laboratory; and a 100-seat auditorium where people, including medical students, could learn the latest discoveries. To enable the audience to see tissue samples, microscope slides were photographed onto glass plates

that cautioned funeral operators to close the door when removing a body. When the building, now the oldest pathological laboratory in the United States, was threatened with destruction, a nonprofit group organized by local physicians acquired the facility and began operating it as a museum. Visitors can see most of the rooms, many as they were when the laboratory was in use. They also can visit a room that displays preserved tissue specimens, predominantly brains, along with the stories of the people from which they were taken. The museum, at 3270 Kirkbride Way in Indianapolis, is open Wednesday through Saturday. The Indiana Medical History Museum in Indianapolis. (Photo by Don Knebel)

with a huge camera in the photography laboratory. To induce the next of kin to allow autopsies on deceased hospital residents, the hosptial provided free burial in the nearby Mt. Jackson Cemetery.

Crooked paths: not your garden-variety sentences Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt I’ve been getting into gardening lately. Specifically, I’m cultiGRAMMAR GUY vating a native perennial garden designed to support monarchs and other crucial pollinators. If I see you and you ask me what I’ve been up to lately, I’ll talk about the latest seedling that just popped up in the garden. Unless you actually want to chat with me about native perennial pollinator gardening, don’t go down this conversational road with me. Speaking of gardens and paths, I’d like to discuss a fascinating sentence structure

called a “garden path sentence.” These pleasant-sounding sentences are grammatically correct (yay); however, they lead you to believe something is amiss in their structure. What do I mean by that? Let’s look at a few examples: The old man the boat. This sentence causes you to do a double take. At first sight, it seems like a sentence from the rough draft of “The Old Man and the Sea.” However, the “old” is the subject of the sentence. The old (collective group of people) man (a verb meaning “to control”) the boat. Here’s another garden path sentence: I

convinced her children are noisy. Although this sentence is grammatically correct, it’s missing a “that” between “her” and “children” that would clear things up pretty quickly: I convinced her that children are noisy. The cotton shirts are made of grows in Mississippi. The first time your eyes scan this sentence, you probably assume “cotton” is an adjective describing “shirts.” However, your brain feels a sense of grammatical whiplash when you get to the end and feel funny about the wording. You go down the garden

path of “The cotton shirts are made” thinking that the sentence is about the “cotton shirts,” but the sentence is actually about the “cotton” that “shirts are made of” and how that cotton “grows in Mississippi.” When we’re led “down the garden path,” as the saying goes, we’re deceived.
