Carmel City Council to vote on transferring $85,000 in funds for Hotel Carmichael By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Just days after the City of Carmel celebrated Hotel Carmichael’s final beam being placed June 12, the city council sent CITY NEWS to committee an ordinance that would transfer $85,000 from the city’s general fund to cover some of the hotel’s closing costs and other payments. The project has some officials concerned about a potentially rising price tag, while others view fluctuating constructions costs as a normal and expected part of the building process. On June 17, the council sent the ordinance to the Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee, which will meet at 6 p.m. June 26 to discuss it. Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Henry Mestetsky described the transfer as a one-time adjustment, as the city will make one less bond payment than originally estimated. “When the bonds actually sold in 2019, the payback included only 17 repayment periods (so each payment is higher) and the closing costs were slightly higher than the estimate,” Mestetsky stated in an email. “This is a onetime adjustment that allocates the right amount for the 2019 repayment. It’s not out of the ordinary.” The council approved the sale of $18 million in bonds to fund the project in late 2017, and at the time the city was negotiating with banks for a city-backed loan to cover an additional $22 million, bringing the project cost to $40 million. When the city closed on the $25.5 million loan in April, it brought the total funding for the project up to $43.5 million. Mestetsky said the $40 million figure was an early estimate. “As is the case for most construction projects – whether it be a new building or a road project – those early estimates often change. In this case, the early estimate was made before the architects really started their work,” Mestetsky said. “Now, nearly three years later, we know more about the various costs, and so we are making sure we have enough financed to ensure this hotel is built to the architectural standards of our other magnificent buildings – and that the materials used will be sustainable, beautiful and long-lasting. We also have factored in normal increases in materials and labor which all developments are seeing.” Hotel revenues will be used to repay the $25.5 million loan. When the loan is paid

off, the City of Carmel and Pedcor will split revenues. Hotel Carmichael will be part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection and long has been a key component in Mayor Jim Brainard’s vision for City Center. After failing to find a private developer to build a hotel on the site, the city entered into a partnership with developer Pedcor Cos. to make it happen. Brainard confirmed that the Trump administration’s tariffs and other factors have led to some higher-than-expected costs for Hotel Carmichael. He said the city has several options to cover rising costs if it were to become necessary. “We go back to the city council. We can borrow more money. We can find money in other sources. There are options out there for us,” he said. “That often happens in projects because you’re working three or four years out in advance. No one can predict the future. Some things go down, others go up. Most go up, it seems like.” Mestetsky said the tariffs haven’t been a “major factor.” “We have certainly seen the price of materials fluctuate (mostly increase) as contractors deal with what they perceive as tariff-related costs,” he said. “Most increases in material and labor costs in the market are the result of a nationwide building boom.” J.R. Gaylor, president of the Associated Builders and Contractors of Indiana/Kentucky, said construction costs have risen approximately 10 percent from this time last year,

with lumber up 23 percent and iron and steel up 13 percent. He said the tariffs, combined with a labor shortage in the construction industry, have contributed to the increase. “Certainly, the workforce issue affects the mix of subcontractors, but everybody is at full employment, so actually some contractors have been turning down work because they’re not able to have a workforce to cover that,” Gaylor said. Mestetsky said the CRC would advance funds to cover costs that exceed financing if needed and repay them from hotel revenues. He said his team is looking for opportunities for cost savings. City Council President Jeff Worrell, who voted in favor of bonds for the project, said he’s asked for a new pro forma to take an updated look at hotel cost and revenue projections. “My due diligence on supporting this project was based on $40 million,” he said. “I’m relying on the mayor, staff, professional consultants to make sure that they’re effectively managing the situation, looking for solutions and looking for ways to control those costs.” City councilor Tony Green was one of two council members to vote against funding the hotel, saying at the time it seemed too “risky.” Now that the project is under way, he wants to see it succeed, but he still has concerns about it. “I’d like to see the hotel continue within its cost because there’s likely a benefit from a hotel downtown,” Green said. “(The question) is just who bears the risk?”

The University High School baseball team won the school’s first IHSAA state championship. (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

UHS wins 1st state title By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com After transferring from Noblesville High School after his junior year, University High School pitcher Reese Sharp had to sit out 365 days and wasn’t able to BASEBALL pitch until the regional. He made those final appearances count as Sharp pitched in the team’s final four games, winning three. Sharp struck out 17 to lead University High School to a 4-1 victory over Washington Township June 17 in the IHSAA Class A state baseball championship at Victory Field. It was the first state championship in any sport for the Carmel high school. The 17 strikeouts are the most by one pitcher in any class in the state championship game. Sharp, whose fastball is 90-plus mph, had two pitches left before he would have had to leave the game after reaching the maximum 120 pitches when he recorded the final strikeout to end the game. “When he’s at his best, he’s almost unhittable,” University right fielder Nate Shatkowski said. “To have a teammate like that with the skill set he does is just crazy.” Sharp helped his own cause with a run-scoring triple in the first inning. Tyler Galyean added an RBI single, and a third run scored on a throwing error. Trailblazers coach Chris Estep, whose team finished with a 22-10-1 record, said the 3-0 lead was a boost to Sharp. “It allowed him to take a deep breath, and he performed the way he needs to, but he still struggled with pitch count in the first few innings,” said Estep, a Carmel

resident and founder of Roundtripper Sports Academy in Westfield. “He was so amped up, so giving him a couple runs was awesome. After the (30-minute lightning) delay (in the second inning), he was a little more relaxed.” Sharp said the wait to play was worth it. “I’ve worked hard, this whole team works hard, and they deserve it,” said Sharp, an Indiana University commit and 28th-round draft pick of the San Francisco Giants. “We have so much team chemistry. All the guys love each other.” Galyean led the hitting attack with three hits. Dawson Estep, the coach’s son and 2019 graduate, and Matt Moore each had two hits. Galyean and Moore will be juniors in the fall. University lost to Daleville 4-1 in last year’s state title game. “It’s kind of storybook to lose our junior year, work our butts off and come back and win it our senior year,” said Shatkowski, a Fishers resident. “It’s just a testament to all the hard work we put in and our coaches and everyone who backed us when times were tough at the end of last season.” Shatkowski was named the Class A Mental Attitude Award winner following the game. Shatkowski, who founded the DECA and Special Olympics Club at University, is one of 10 high school seniors to receive a full scholarship to Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. “I worked hard in the classroom and with extracurriculars, and to cap it off with the Mental Attitude Award, I can’t ask for anything more,” he said.

Northview Church has relieved 2,500 Hoosier families of their medical debt, ultimately eliminating a total of $2 FAITH million in medical bills. Four times a year, Senior Pastor Steve Poe promotes the Northview Dollar Club, in which each member of the congregation is asked to donate a single dollar without knowing what it will be put toward. Poe requested a $2 or $3 donation this time around, which led to the church raising $20,000. “What can you buy with a dollar? Not even a candy bar,” Poe said. “But when we put it all together we can make a significant difference in a ministry or in a family in crisis. We always keep it a surprise every time we do a Dollar Club because I just want them to give because they know they can help make a difference.” Northview Church partnered with RIP Medical Debt to maximize the impact of the funds they raised. The structure and low recovery rate of medical debt allows the debt to be paid off at pennies on the dollar, leading to the $20,000 collected at Northview

Church paying off an excess of $2 million in medical bills. Northview has campuses in seven ZIP codes, across which the funds will be divided evenly. Medical debt will be resolved in the Anderson, Binford, Carmel, Fishers, Lafayette, Kokomo and Westfield areas. Beneficiaries will be notified via letter by the beginning of next month. For many families, it will mean opening mail that is not a medical bill for the first time in months. “I say all the time that we make a living by what we take in, but we build a legacy by what we give out,” Poe said.

NCL lets moms, daughters serve

EXPERIENCE A WHOLE NEW SUMMER

By Chris Bavender news@currentincarmel.com A desire to find opportunities to serve the community alongside their daughters led two Carmel women to establish a local chapter of the National GIVING BACK Charity League. “After researching National Charity League, Inc. more, we quickly realized it was so much more than just giving back. We knew we had to bring this amazing organization to other Carmel moms and daughters,” said Jen Hare, copresident of the NCL Carmel chapter. “We started thinking about the friendships our girls would make beyond their own middle school, and the idea of them going into high school with girls who had started on this journey with them was very exciting.” Hare and co-President Jen Goehl met with friends to share the idea, and by the end of the evening they had formed a board of eight additional women. NCL’s mission is to develop socially responsible community leaders and strengthen the mother-daughter relationship through hands-on volunteer service for philanthropic organizations in the community.

Goehl was first introduced to NCL several years ago when she lived in Atlanta, Ga., through her sister-in-law and niece. Goehl and Hare said their hope is that the girls in the program will “be able to look beyond themselves and our town toward others with a giving heart.” The Carmel chapter has more than 100 mothers and daughters. Because it is a new chapter, it is only enrolling grades seven through nine with spots still available for incoming eighth- and ninth-graders.

Author pens book on local food By Renee Larr news@currentinwestfield.com Food often is at the center of celebrations, such as holidays, birthdays and graduations, so former RESTAURANTS Hamilton County resident Karen Kennedy recently authored “Hamilton County Food; from Casual Grub to Gastropubs.” The book was released May 6. It celebrates past and present family owned restaurants in Hamilton Kennedy County. “The most important thing to know about the book is it features exclusively independently owned restaurants,” said Kennedy, an Indianapolis resident who has lived in Carmel and Fishers. “It traces the history of little mom-and-pop places, coffee shops and diners and how those restaurants moved the culinary scene forward until we get to where we are today.” Kennedy researched the history of restaurants by interviewing local residents and visiting the Carmel Clay Historical Society, Hamilton County Historical Society and Westfield-Washington Historical Society. “It was essential to get the historical aspect of it right, but it was a challenge because restaurant history is not welldocumented,” she said. Kennedy works as a copywriter but also has restaurant experience. “I have mad, crazy respect for how hard the work is and what a labor of love it is for restaurant owners,” she said. “It was really important for me to tell their tales and celebrate them.” The book details how readers can spend a foodie weekend in Hamilton County. “I tried to outline a great weekend of food with and without kids,” Kennedy said. “The book is really for everyone. You know you could start with breakfast at Rosie’s Place and then (go) to Peace Water Winery in the afternoon. If you have kids, you could go to Tina’s Tea Room.” The book is available at Turn the Page bookstore in Westfield, Silver in the City in Carmel, Conner Prairie in Fishers and on amazon.com. Kennedy will conduct a book signing Aug. 17 at Heritage Clothier and Home in Indianapolis from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

MEET MICHAEL PETRIE

Carmel’s Petrie helps guide Merchants’ growth, major Midtown move

Michael F. Petrie, CEO and chairman of Merchants Bank of Indiana, points to Merchants Bancorp’s NASDAQ banner after the company made its stock-market debut in 2017. (Submitted photos)

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com On Jan. 2, Carmel resident Michael Petrie celebrated his 65th birthday and 40th year in banking. The time COVER STORY couldn’t have gone by much better for Merchants Bank of Indiana’s chairman and CEO. “This is the American dream. Two guys start a company and take it public (on the New York Stock Exchange),” Petrie said. “We provide jobs for 350 people. We love the organization. We love the people.” Petrie and his longtime business partner, Randy Rogers of Zionsville, started PR Mortgage & Investments in 1990. It was rebranded to Merchants Capital, which is now one of the divisions of Merchants Bank of Indiana. Petrie started his career at Merchants Bank and Trust, which was later sold to National City Bank, which retired the name. He started working for Merchants Mortgage Corp. in 1980. Rogers was the president of the group. He and Rogers left to form their new company knowing the old Merchants was about to be sold. Rogers, who is semiretired, now serves as vice chairman. Petrie said the bank has more than $4 billion in assets and services more than $10 billion in multi-family mortgages. Soon, the Carmel-based company will have a new home in Carmel’s Midtown. “Since we are building this 125,000-square-foot, five-story office building where we are going to headquarter our company, we are trying to build some excitement around that,” Petrie said. “We want to let people know what we are doing because we really haven’t advertised, so

we’re letting people know.” Officials made the decision to bring back the Merchants frog, which was used in promotions by the old Merchants Bank. “Our campaign is focused around deposits because we pay about the highest rate in the market for deposits. We also provide electronic mortgage solutions for people,” Petrie said. “We don’t have a lot of people, but we get things done. We execute for our customer. My partner and I have been lending to people in this marketing place for more than 40 years. They know us and they trust us.” Petrie said the original intent wasn’t to build a building, but that changed when Merchants kept growing. The bank has been leasing space in several buildings to keep up with growth. In the new headquarters, three of the five floors will be dedicated to Merchants.

The second floor will house its nonprofit, Merchants Affordable Housing Corp. The rest will be leased out. “On the first floor, we’ll have a branch in there and we’re going lease out retail space that faces the Monon Trail,” Petrie said. “It’s the best work environment in the state, in my opinion. There’s not a better location in the state for people to work, live close by and access all the restaurants and amenities.” Petrie said plans have been in the works for the headquarters for three years. The move-in date is set for Aug. 9. More than 150 employees will work at the new office. Merchants Bank President Mike Dunlap, a 1984 Carmel High School graduate who lives in Fishers, said Petrie and Rogers create a family atmosphere for the employees. “We’re a best place to work in Indiana for a reason, because they do treat their em-

When people feel trusted and respected at work, they do amazing things.” Dunlap said Petrie advocates for the industry for the betterment of the nation. “He fights for what he believes will help everybody, not just his agenda,” Dunlap said. Petrie created Merchants Positively Advancing Communities Together, which invests service hours to organizations that support the advancement of affordable housing. The Merchants Affordable Housing nonprofit supports Petrie’s longtime passion. “One of the coolest things we’ve ever done is The Village of Merci apartments in Fort Ben (Harrison),” Petrie said. “We took officer barracks and converted it for 20 units for developmentally disabled adults. A lot were 30- to 50-year old individuals who only lived at home. Three were working outside the house. Now, all 20 work outside the house. They’re much more independent and it’s really a cool project.”

ESSAY First and last

LETTER Christkindlmarkt not self-sustaining

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

Editor, I really enjoy your Current in Carmel. You do a great job as an author and newspaper editor. I do have to comment on your article entitled “Christkindlmarkt is self sustaining.” Then you tell that the taxpayers provide space (at no charge) and labor for set up (at no charge). Having the taxpayers (you and me) pay for these items doesn’t equal self-sustaining. Christkindlmarkt is a welfare case. Again, thanks for a great newspaper. I look forward to each issue. Gary Lewellen, Carmel

Focus on real issues

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

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

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

Editor, Wow! The many recent articles in the daily newspapers about the animal abuse at Fair Oaks are a vivid example of how far our society has fallen. The founder of the group investigating these issues states in an article by USA Today about the calves that “it’s inhumane to rip a newborn baby away from its mother.” What about the thousands of almost born, or actually born, human babies that are ripped from their mothers and killed every day?

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

Water exercise provides benefits By Sophie Nulph news@currentincarmel.com Westfield residents Judy and Dan Schwinghammer appreciate the benefits of water excercise. STRENGTH They have been members at PrimeLife, a nonprofit enrichment center in Carmel, for four years. They attend yoga classes, take advantage of the workout room and attend Ai Chi aquatic classes twice a week. Ai Chi is a water program that is a total-body strengthening and relaxation exercise. The exercise is performed in a saltwater pool with dim lighting and relaxing music and, according to its creators, promotes mental and physical health and improves balance, flexibility, well-being and relaxation. “We are seeing such great benefits from it that we wanted to make others aware that this even exists.” Dan said. Judy, who suffered from polio earlier in life, said the exercise helps her flexibility and strengthens her leg that was impacted by the disease.

“It’s not something you just pop into here and there. It takes awhile to learn (the moves),” Fowler said. “It takes some people a long time to slow down.” The Schwinghammers said the exercises have helped improve their flexibility, strength and confidence. “I tried (Ai Chi) on land and thought there was no way,” Judy said. “And then I realized what I cannot perform on land I can perform in water.” The creator of Ai Chi, Jun Konno, has worked to promote aquatics in Japan and around the world with the help of Ruth Sova. It is now the fastest-growing exercise program in the world.

Grief support available to all Commentary by Laura Miller I am a bereavement counselor for Premier Hospice and Palliative Care in Carmel, and I would like to take a minute of GRIEF your time to briefly discuss hospice services and our bereavement program. Those of us who work in hospice consider our vocation to be affirmation of life. We consider it to be an invaluable service to our patients, their caregivers and their families. We believe in supporting our patients’ agency and dignity, and we strive to create an environment conducive to a peaceful end of their journey. We offer services that span across disciplines: Medical, social work, chaplaincy and bereavement, all of which are supported by administrative professionals. We focus our energies on caring for our patients and their families during what is often the most difficult and intense time of their lives. Care extends to our patients’ families after they pass through our Bereavement Program. For 13 months, we strive to tailor services to our bereaved to meet them where they are in the grief journey. We be-

lieve that no one should go through the often difficult and painful process alone, and that includes you. I want to let you know, dear reader, that hospice bereavement services are here for you as well.

I would like to invite you to a four-week Grief Support Series offered by Premier Hospice and Palliative care. We will support one another through conversation, education and activities that aim to open a space of community and sharing. It is a safe place for you to come and express yourself and be heard.

Couple launches Home Helpers By Michael Rheinheimer news@currentincarmel.com The husband-and-wife team of Phil and Michelle Nunn of Zionsville have launched a Home Helpers franchise to NEW BIZ serve those in need. Based at 13295 Illinois St. in Carmel, the new company will provide home care services to residents of Carmel, Noblesville, Zionsville, Westfield, Whitestown and other parts of Hamilton and Boone counties. According to the company’s website, Home Helpers specializes in home care for seniors, new mothers and patients who need ongoing assistance. Michelle has spent more than 20 years as a registered nurse and said her grandmother’s own recovery needs are what sparked her interest in Home Helpers. “My grandmother ended up needing more care than hospice could provide,” she said. “I was fortunate enough to be able to take care of her and my grandpa when he was sent home to live out the last few days of his life.” Michelle said not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to support their loved ones when needed. She hopes Home Helpers will fill that need for local families. The company offers free in-home consultations and what Phil calls “end-to-end services,” including bathing, ambulation, care management and light housekeeping. “We specialize in helping families care for their loved ones so they can focus on

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

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

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

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

Union Brewing Company

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

Upland Carmel Tap House

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

Four Day Ray

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

Carmel resident weaves baskets

T his July at

By Rick Morwick rick@yourarecurrent.com Sandy Godich vividly recalls her introduction to what would become a lifelong, albeit off-and-on, hobby. ART “About 65 years ago I wove my first basket for the basket-weaving badge in Girl Scouts,” said Godich, a resident of The Barrington of Carmel. “That was probably somewhere in the early ’50s, and I didn’t make another basket until the mid-’90s.” These days, Godich, 74, spends much of her spare time weaving baskets. Not just any baskets, but intricate items ranging in size from the diameter of a nickel to a full bushel container. An exhibit of Godich’s work was recently on display in The Barrington’s Art Studio. Each of the 52 items in the collection were functional baskets of various sizes, handweaved from an array of materials with unique designs and patterns. “I have worked in pine needle baskets. I have made baskets out of birch bark and copper wire,” Godich said. “I’ve made baskets out of reed, which is what you see commercially these days. Some of the small-

est ones I’ve made are made out of wax linen.” Janine Short, director of sales at The Barrington, regards Godich’s baskets as something considerably more than the products of a hobby. “Her work is amazing. Her baskets are works of art,” Short said. “She has a loom where she weaves rugs, wall hangings and scarfs. She even teaches basket weaving to the residents.” Godich, a retired high school teacher from Illinois, moved into The Barrington in September 2016. For the full story, visit currentincarmel. com.

News flash: The forecast calls for rain, dampening our efforts but not our desire to spend time outside. BEYOND THE Long is the list of benBACK DOOR efits from spending time outdoors and strong is our desire to spend more time there. When the clouds even momentarily part, we flood outside to make the most of those brief moments of sunshine. In an effort to offset the relatively short periods of time when we can enjoy the outdoors, designers often wax poetically about the virtues of “bringing the outside in” and suggest tactics such as filling your home with potted plants. While this can be helpful, we prefer to turn the tables and find ways to extend our interior comforts to the exterior. Rather than drawing a hard line that distinguishes your interior space from your exterior environment, we want to dissolve that line and encourage your landscape to become an extension of your home. Whether your available outdoor space is a balcony or an unbroken vista to the horizon, there are products and design approaches

Raising Cain over rear Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Ephesus Theatre in Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The Great Theatre of Ephesus Commentary by Don Knebel A dramatic confrontation reported in the New Testament occurred inside a Roman theater in Ephesus. That TRAVEL colossal theater is still in service today. Ephesus, on the west coast of what is now Turkey, was founded by Greek colonists from across the Aegean Sea in the 10th century B.C. By the third century B.C., the city was famous for the nearby temple of Artemis, an important fertility goddess. Featuring 127 ionic columns and covering 1.6 acres, the temple was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. When the Romans took control of Ephesus in the first century B.C., they made it the capital of the Province of Asia. They reassociated the temple with their goddess Diana and greatly expanded a Greek theater built into a hillside on the north side of the city, creating a seating capacity of 25,000. By the first century A.D., the population of Ephesus was as high as 250,000. According to the Book of Acts, Paul went to Ephesus in about 54 A.D. Local silversmiths selling miniature representa-

tions of the temple complained that Paul’s teachings about Jesus were endangering their livelihoods by suggesting that Artemis/Diana was not a real god. Residents responded by dragging Paul’s traveling companions into the Great Theatre, where a shouting mob menaced them. The melee ended and the men were released when the city clerk demanded that the silversmiths pursue their grievances in court, warning that they could be charged with provoking a riot. By the time Paul left Ephesus in 56 A.D., the city was home to an important early church. Christian vigilantes destroyed the temple of Artemis/Diana in 401 A.D. after Roman Emperor Theodosius I had outlawed paganism. But the Great Theatre, with its three-story stage house, has survived and is occasionally used for performances, including one by Elton John in 2001.

DISPATCH Intelligence — There are a number of things other than genetics that can influence your intelligence. Here are several proven factors: 1. Smoking – several studies have shown that nonsmokers have higher IQs than smokers. 2. Music – brain research has shown increased activity in brains of those who took music lessons. 3. Pets – while dog people are more outgoing than cat people, the cat people did better on intelligence tests. Source: MSN.com

children” was the more popular phrase back in the day. However, around the mid-1960s, “raise children” overtook “rear children,” and continues its steady march in popularity to the present day. At this point, to “raise children” appears about three times more frequently in books than to “rear children.” So, it seems that “reared” in Oklahoma is probably the precisely correct term, although, according to the AP as well as the court of popular opinion, “raised” is the normal thing to say. Here’s where my subjective grammar gavel comes down: Use “reared” in a formal setting; use “raised” for informal use. To me, “reared” sounds like something that happens to your car when the guy behind you doesn’t stop in time. Just don’t raise hell or kick my rear if you happen to disagree.

Cliff from Wilmington points out how I recently wrote that I was “raised in Oklahoma.” GRAMMAR GUY First of all, thanks for not making some sort of joke about how Okies don’t know anything about grammar. After all, it’s a statewide mandate that all Oklahomans love our papaws and grammers (especially her synonym rolls). Cliff takes issue that I chose the word “raised” instead of “reared.” Let’s talk about raised and reared, shall we? There’s an old grammar axiom that goes something like this: Animals are raised; humans are reared. This is based on the definition of “raise” as to grow or breed, while “rear” means something more like “taking care” of something and “assist something Curtis Honeycutt is a national award-winning, syndicated to maturity.” On paper, that makes sense. humor writer.
