The repaired pool honors American veterans. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Reflecting pool repaired, reopened By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com For years, Carmel residents have been asking for repairs to be made to the crumbling concrete at the Veteran’s Memorial reflectupdate ing pool at City Center. Now the fixes are finally complete. “It’s much needed and overdue,” said Dave Bowers, commissioner for the Carmel Redevelopment Commission. In April 2013, Current in Carmel published a cover story about how parts of the structure were improperly installed when the pool was constructed in 2003. The CRC, the owner of the pool, was unable to sue the general contractor who likely caused the problems. Eden Enterprises, who did the work, filed bankruptcy and closed. Repairs were put on the backburner for years while other financial issues took priority.

The CRC had previously suggested taking more than $600,000 from the city’s rainy day fund to fix the damaged concrete, but that was voted down by the Carmel City Council in December because some on the council felt that the CRC could use its own money to pay for repairs. After settling a lawsuit and having extra money, the CRC decided in January to spend $460,500 for a contract with the Smock Fansler Corporation. Repairs were complete and the pool was opened on July 2. This was important because the reflecting pool is a popular viewing site for the city’s Fourth of July fireworks display. “Our goal was to have it open before CarmelFest,” said Corrie Meyer, director of the CRC. “We are pleased that we are finished and that it looks really nice. It will certainly help the pond be beautiful and truly respect the veterans the way they deserve.”

A ‘no’ vote for overlay By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Some members of the Johnson Addition neighborhood have been pushing for another effort to preserve CITY the look and feel of the area through action by the Carmel City Council. In 2014, some neighbors – along with assistance from the Carmel Historic Brainard Preservation Commission – wanted to turn their area south of Main Street near the Carmel Arts & Design District into a protected area that would prohibit tearing down homes, remodeling outside the area’s character. The council passed its Conservation District proposal, but was vetoed by Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard, and there weren’t enough votes to override the veto. Brainard had suggested that city planners draft changes to the city’s zoning laws that could have some of the same effect for protecting the look and feel. While some supported the idea, others opposed it because they felt that limits on home remodels – such as adding a second story – were unfair to the existing property owners.

Those restrictions were eased. In addition, it was made clear that anyone could apply for a variance to construct a home or make renovations that weren’t listed in the rules. As a result, some said they believed the zoning changes became watered down and unnecessary. “There wasn’t any protection,” city councilor Eric Seidensticker said. “They would have better off with Seidensticker the Conservation District instead.” The overlay zone was voted down unanimously, while the original conservation received a 4-3 vote. Councilor Kevin “Woody” Rider, who also serves on the plan commission, said he heard that neighborhood feedback was about 50-50 for and against. “I’m not a fan of legislating property values,” Rider said. No neighbors spoke to the council this time, although past meetings were filled with speeches for and against. “I’m so happy with the outcome tonight,” said resident Jana Souers who attended the July 6 meeting.

City council recap

Compiled by Adam Aasen

What happened: Carmel City Council unanimously approved $50,500 for design work to create a public space in the plaza courtyard of Sophia Square. What it means: This is only for the design contract with Context Landscaping Architecture to design the courtyard, which could include landscaping and designated seating, which could be used for festivals or just a place where the public can relax. At the same time, nearby restaurants such as The Pint Room and Scotty’s Brewhouse are interested in using the courtyard plaza for outdoor dining.

What’s next: Context will proceed with designing the space. The cost of the design and the ultimate project – the cost of which was unavailable – would be paid through the budget of the Carmel Redevelopment Commisison.

What happened: The council voted unanimously to create a law to enforce the “No Drop-off” zones at Carmel schools. What it means: At Carmel schools, there are designated areas where parents and other motorists are directed to drop off students. Other areas, which are deemed unsafe for drop off, are marked as such. School resource officers had no means to enforce these areas. This law restricts parking, standing or stopping in these “No Student Pick-Up or Drop-Off Zones.” Emergency vehicles are exempt from the rule.

What’s next: The law will go into effect and there could be penalties not to exceed $100.

DESIGN & REMODELING SEMINAR

What happened: The city council approved a resolution to express interest in purchasing land for three different road projects. What it means: The projects include the roundabout at East 116th Street and Gray Road, the roundabout at East 116th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway and reconstruction of River Road from Tall Timber to Community Drive. This isn’t a commitment to buy the land or begin the projects, but it’s required that the council pass such a resolution before exploring whether to purchase properties that exceed $25,000.

What’s next: The city can determine what the price would be for purchasing the land, which could include the entire property or just a portion of the land in some cases. Some of these three projects might be more immediate than others.

Before Koko, I was one of those people who failed at mainstream gyms. Perplexed was the best way to describe my gym experience. I didn’t know how to use the equipment, how much weight to use or how many reps to complete. And my form, well there wasn’t any form. There was no guidance offered as part of my membership. The help and support I needed to get and stay fit simply wasn’t there. Then I found Koko, and my life changed in so many ways. I’m getting what I want, how I want it and when I want it. Koko provides me everything I need to get on, and stay on, a healthy path.

Morgan Koontz already had her share of success in the CarmelFest Has Talent singing competition. Koontz won the ages achievement 10-12 competition in 2012 and finished second in 2013 before taking a break last year. On July 4, Koontz, who turns 14 on July 27, captured the talent show’s 13-17 contest. Five semifinalists in each division each sang a song on July 3 and then the contest was trimmed to three for July 4 finals. Despite her previous experience on the CarmelFest gazebo stage, Koontz said she was definitely nervous. “I get really nervous before I perform, but once I get on stage it goes away,” said Koontz, who added that practice and preparation helps. Koontz, who will be a Carmel High School freshman in August, has been in theater productions for the past three or four years. Koontz’s mother, Angela Gallagher, said Koontz has been singing since she could talk. Anjali Rooney was victorious in the 10-12 contest.

Council votes down $196K to support IndyGo line By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council voted down a request for $196,592 in financial support for the Red Line, a mass transit transportation system that would travel from Westfield to Greenwood and be managed by IndyGo. In September 2014, Westfield Mayor Andy Cook joined Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard and other elected officials to announce a $2 million federal TIGER grant to assist IndyGo with the next phases of development, inCarter cluding environmental analysis and engineering, for the Red Line. With this federal funding, there needs to be matching funds from localities and there’s the hope that more federal funding could be awarded. Because the line would go through Carmel, an interlocal agreement was drafted to see if Carmel would chip in for its share of the

costs, based on factors such as population and length of the mass transit line. Earlier in the city council meeting on July 6, the council approved joining the creation of a regional economic development group that could be used to help obtain state and federal dollars, presumably for projects such as mass transit that affect all of central Indiana. City Councilor Ron Carter spoke strongly against aligning with IndyGo. “Why would we let IndyGo manage anything?” he said. “They can’t even empty the trash cans at their bus stops. They always say Cook they’ll do better, but they never do any better.” Carter said he can’t support this version of mass transit, “especially if the Indianapolis City-County Council has any hand in this. They can’t even get their streets fixed,” he said. City Councilor Luci Snyder said she’s worried that IndyGo would keep coming back for

money again and again, as they did with the now-defunct IndyExpress bus. “I don’t support this at all,” she said. “This is another boondoggle.” Carter pointed out that the IndyExpress bus didn’t have a marketing campaign or even a ridership study yet they kept asking Carmel for money. Carter was the lone vote against the Central Indiana Regional Development Authority ordinance, partly because he said he was concerned about the makeup of that board. He said he has the same concerns with IndyGo, that the board will be dominated by Indianapolis which has a very different agenda than Carmel. City Councilor Sue Finkam, the lone vote for the IndyGo proposal, said the money was just for the early stages of the initiative and believes that mass transit can benefit Carmel economically. “We should be leaders in this regard,” she said.

U.S. Air Force veteran and parade official John Powell, CarmelFest committee head Peggy Powell and parade official Jim Burrell take time to welcome “Where’s Amy?” to the 2015 CarmelFest. They helped check in the parade guests who were treated to breakfast donated by MCL Cafeteria.

No parade is complete without the Carmel Rotary Club, where “Service Above Self” is the golden rule. This group of amazing members knows what team work is all about! Too much fun!

Where was “Where’s Amy?” on the Fourth of July? I was having a blast at the 2015 CarmelFest. All of the branches of the military were represented including two life-sized Air Force marching bands and a slew of local celebrities, including a big red guy named Elmo! The highlight of my day was having the opportunity to meet the many veterans who had fought for our rights and freedom. I heard story after story of how these men served and fought for our nation. I took a minute from shooting pictures and paused – standing still watching the crowds of all generations cheer – I felt emotional inside and so blessed to be an American. Fun family activities, delicious food, music and a spectacular fireworks display rounded off the night with a big bang. Hands down, CarmelFest is the best place to be on the Fourth of July. Thank you to all of the CarmelFest committee members, veterans and local celebrities who came together to make it so special! “Where’s Amy?” salutes you!

WWII Navy veteran Irv Herman , his lovely wife, Dolores Herman, and daughter Linda Ferries were so proud to be included in the 2015 CarmelFest Parade. “Where’s Amy?” loved the many stories behind each pin attached to his favorite red hat … forever memories that made me so proud to have met him.

‘Where’s Amy?” loved meeting a second generation duo team. Captain Steve Baskerville, father, left, and F.F. Mac Baskerville, son, stopped over to chat before the parade started. These brave men were marching in the parade representing the Carmel Fire Department.

“Where’s Amy?” waves to her pals Paul Poteet and the spunky fun Patty Spitler of Boomer TV and PetPals TV. These guys had way too much fun at the parade and the crowd loved them!

“Where’s Amy?” loved meeting the very well educated, super sweet and beautiful Morgan Jackson, Miss Indiana 2015. Morgan paused for photos with Carmel residents and said she was excited to be a part of the CarmelFest Parade. Her crown sparkled and her smile was contagious … what a lovely young woman representing the state of Indiana.

CBS-4 team Bob Donaldson, Debby Knox and Chris Wright had a few laughs with “Where’s Amy?” minutes before the parade began. Chris Wright’s prediction of “no rain in the forecast” was spot on! This CBS-4 team is powerful and strong!

Songbook Academy will have distinct CHS flavor with three finalists

Go Listen!

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For years Kristin Barnes would eagerly attend the Songbook Academy finals. “When you are a percover story former, it’s human nature to think, ‘I would love to be doing that,’” Barnes said. “I never seriously considered that it was a possibility for me, but I sent in my tapes and here I am. I was overthe-moon surprised and excited when I found out I was going to be part of this.” Barnes will join two fellow 2015 Carmel High School graduates, Sydney Sorrell and Kathleen Muloma, at the Songbook Academy from July 18 through 25. They are three of 40 finalists (grades 9-12) from 16 different states selected for the academy. Chris Lewis, director of programs for the Carmel-based Great American Songbook Academy Foundation, said it’s a blind-judging process to select the 40 finalists and it’s just a happy coincidence that three CHS graduates were selected. “We are definitely very blessed with a fantastic program at Carmel High School,” Barnes said. “I could go on for days about how that program has prepared and shaped artists for years and years.” It’s special for Barnes to share the experience with Sorrell and Muloma. “We’ve spent so much time together in choir and show rehearsals over their years,” Barnes said. “I’ll be excited to see these two girls, whose voices and performances I’ve seen and know pretty well, and they know me, and see how we grow and develop over the week.” Sorrell is eager for the experience to begin. “It’s going to be so fulfilling and I’m just going to learn so much,” Sorrell said. “I’m just so excited to meet people who love the Songbook like I do, especially our mentors who are in the business and really know what they are doing. Just to soak up some of that knowledge from them is an opportunity that very few people get.” Muloma enjoys working with different voice instructors. “Getting to work with people who know

There are three dates open to the public with no admission fee: • July 22, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., Master Class with Feinstein and Osnes • July 23, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Student showcase (20 finalists will perform their songs for the panel of judges) • July 23, 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Student showcase (20 finalists will perform their songs for the panel of judges) The final show will be on July 25 at 7 p.m. in the Palladium. For more information, visit thecenterfortheperformingarts.org/tickets. There will be 10 solo finalists performing and all 40 finalists will perform in group numbers. Other finalists from Indiana and their high schools: Lucas DeBard, Lebanon; Avery Eliason, Lawrenceburg; Kendra Housel, Warsaw; Madelyn Steurer, Louisville (Ky.) Assumption (lives in Jeffersonville) and Katie Swaney, Center Grove.

what they are doing and have a passion and want to help us is the best experience,” Muloma said. “You get to learn from the very best and not many people have that opportunity.” Muloma, who also plays the violin, had never sang outside of church until sitting with Barnes and some other friends at lunch as a freshman. “They convinced me to try out (for choir) just for the fun of it,” Muloma said. As a sophomore, she took voice lessons and worked hard on dancing and made the New Edition. She moved on to join the Accents, CHS’s No. 2 show choir, as a junior and the Ambassadors, the school’s top show choir, as a senior. Sorrell and Barnes were members of the

Ambassadors for their last three years in high school. Muloma, who turns 18 on July 30, will attend Hope College in Holland, Mich., and plans to major in biology for pre-med. She wants to specialize in infectious diseases and internal medicine, but music will always be a part of her life. The same is true for Barnes and Sorrell. Barnes, who turns 18 on Sept. 21, plans to pursue a behind-the-scenes career in music or arts administration at Vanderbilt. Sorrell plans to study neuroscience and minor in music at Rhodes College in Memphis. “I want to combine neuroscience and music and do research on the effects music has on the brains of students with disabilities, such

as autism and down syndrome,” said Sorrell, who turns 19 in March. “Maybe go into music therapy or stay on the research side. It’s combined my two passions. I’ll continue performing my entire life, maybe I’ll make it a career, it just depends. Memphis is the perfect place for blues and jazz so I’m just going to be in the perfect place for my voice.”

Academy grows

Five-time Grammy nominee Michael Feinstein is joined by Tony-nominee Laura Osnes and Grammy winner Sylvia McNair as mentors for the Songbook Academy, which is in its sixth year. The academy will be held at the Great American Songbook Foundation’s headquarters. Students will participate in a seven-day academy dedicated to interpreting and performing the Songbook music. Feinstein, along with other top music industry professionals and educators, will conduct workshops and master classes throughout the week.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Exceptional fortune

Commentary by Terry Anker

We hear it every day. This generation of Americans will probably not achieve as their parents have before them. Raging government debt, enormous unfunded and profligate promises to previous generations, an ever expanding definition of our “rights” to the financial resources of others, the rise, again, of China, and Europe’s looming collapse under the colossal weight of its own bad decisions (those are listed immediately above) are all conspiring to suffocate the American Dream and prove, once-and-for-all, that American Exceptionalism is a myth. One knows the struggle we undertake to carry our load. But is it really harder to achieve today, or were our progenitors simply tougher than we are? Less dependent? No doubt, it is difficult to find good-paying work. But is it really any more difficult today that it was decades before? By virtually every metric, our lives have advanced significantly – we live longer, better, and with less threat than

any people ever to grace the planet. Yet in spite of incontrovertible facts, are we giving ourselves and our kids a pass? If the children can’t win anyway, do we adults really need to make sacrifices for their long term well-being? Cable TV is a lot more fun than a college savings plan. And for youngsters, if the American Dream is a myth (or even as some argue, unethical), why should I study hard, wait to procreate, get married, save money, and take a pass on media-sponsored hedonism? Perhaps the myth we should excoriate is that of scarcity. It argues that there is never enough – ever. Wouldn’t our children be better raised aware of their own exceptional fortune? Life is good and they are obliged to do more from this platform. And, so are we. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@currentinwestfield.com.

Q U O TE  O F THE  W EE K “It is better to be fully present and rested and engaged for one thing than rushed, distracted, and scattered for ten.” – Rob Bell

Over the weekend I attended my ex-sisterin-law’s wedding. Sounds weird, I know, but she was married to my husband’s brother for 15 years and became one of my humor dearest friends. Since the divorce, we’ve stayed close, and so I didn’t hesitate when she asked me to come down to Florida for the ceremony. The thing is, even though I like the new guy and she is clearly very happy, the whole event felt strange. I muddled through dinner conversation with her husband’s teenage daughters and their friends; I awkwardly explained my relationship to the bride during a multitude of introductions; and I ate from a potato bar, which although cool and incredibly delicious, just added to the surreal nature of the night. A potato bar! Even more taxing however was the number of emotional outbursts and spiritual moments I found myself unwittingly a part of. For those of you who don’t know me, communal praying, crying, and hugging make up my own personal heebie-jeebie trifecta, and typically cause me to break out a disco move, an inappropriate remark or a short Broadway musical number. All fine, unless you’re at a funeral or, as was the case, a devout Christian wedding. So when I arrived at the church and saw my sister-by-choice (that’s what I call her now) for the first time in a year, she burst into tears. Nooooooo! I wanted to run straight out the door, but instead made a fart joke and earned a few eyebrow raises from the grooms’ family. And then I got stuck in the dressing room when her two besties announced it was time for the prayer circle. They began calling on Jesus and laying on hands, and I was just sitting there with pit stains forming, trying to suppress an urgent need to sing Abba’s “Mamma Mia.” Instead of “Amen,” I said “Are your eyelashes fake because they are amazing!” Ugh. What is wrong with me? But I suppose that’s what sisters are for, right? Even if we’re not technically related anymore, I still know how to make her laugh. Peace out.

KitchenAid puts Wolfsie in garage Commentary by Dick Wolfsie The Wolfsie’s refrigerator went to Habitat for Humanity. We don’t have a dishwasher or a stove, either. The Salvation Army humor took them away. We threw out the microwave that was over the oven. Nobody wants an appliance that’s been stuck on “Popcorn” for two decades. For our kitchen remodeling, we moved our smaller appliances like the toaster oven and coffee pot to the garage, near our second fridge. We now use my workbench as a countertop for preparing salads, and on the front of the Prius we marinate meat for the barbecue—unless it starts to rain, in which case we just jump in the car and go out to dinner. Last night we forgot to take the boneless chicken breasts off the hood. Our kitchen was very outdated, but I was still nostalgic when I saw the room gutted. “We sure have some wonderful memories in this kitchen, don’t we, Mary Ellen?” “We do? Oh yeah, like the time you used hand-washing liquid soap in the dishwasher and the entire room filled up with bubbles. Or

last July 4th when you microwaved an opened can of baked beans. How about the evening you dropped your cell phone in the garbage disposal? And Dick, you can’t forget the wonderful meals I have prepared in that room.” “Yes, I remember that night, too.” Life during the past week has required some adjustments. “Dick, I’m going into the garage to make a smoothie.” “Well, okay, but you’ll have to disconnect the shop vac so you can plug in the blender.” “I did that so we could plug in the toaster oven. Is there an outlet available for the portable microwave?” “Not if we want the garage door to open.” When our kitchen is completed, it will offer state-of-the-art technology for fixing a meal. It’s a day that we will celebrate. Mary Ellen will probably want to go out for dinner.

Our kitchen was very outdated, but I was still nostalgic when I saw the room gutted.

U.S. Rep. Brooks: Turning the tide of addiction

Commentary by U.S. Rep. Susan W. Brooks

As prescription drug and heroin abuse has risen in my district and our state over the last year few years, I’ve held a seopinion ries of listening sessions and participated in several Congressional hearings aimed at finding solutions to reverse this deadly trend. It’s astonishing to hear first responders describe the number of overdose patients they’ve rushed to save in our cities, suburbs and rural areas. Or the emotions they’ve felt when realizing they’re treating someone all over again for another overdose. As a mother, it’s simply heartbreaking to visit a recovery school and talk to a young person trying to spend a birthday sober for the first time in four years. Or to read the growing number of obituaries in our newspapers listing names and displaying faces of young people who had so much life left to live. Sadly, drug overdose has overtaken car accidents as the leading cause of injury

death nationwide. In Indiana, there were 1,049 deaths in 2013 which included heroin as a contributing cause. That’s why I’m committed to leading an effort in Congress to turn the tide of addiction that has claimed too many Hoosier lives. Recently, alongside Representative Joe Kennedy III (D-MA), I introduced legislation that will provide guidance to medical professionals on safe prescribing practices, increase resources available to first responders, reauthorize programs critical to the success of law enforcement agencies and raise national awareness of this deadly and growing problem. This multi-pronged approach is necessary to address a complicated issue that knows no socio-economic or geographic boundaries. U.S. Rep. Susan W. Brooks represents Indiana’s 5th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. She may be contacted at 848-0201 or http://susanwbrooks. house.gov.

READERS ’ V I E W S Thank you, Donatello’s Editor, We would like to commend one of our most distinguished downtown Carmel Businesses and their staff for this past Thursday evening’s outstanding service and going the extra mile for our 60th Wedding Anniversary Family Dinner Celebration. Donatello’s Italian Restaurant just could not have been more accommodating for our private party of 15. Adam (Aasen) and his family did everything perfect. They went beyond just being a great restaurant and brought in fresh sea bass (which is not usually available until weekends), and they prepared some of our

families favorite’s such as manicotti, spaghetti and meatballs in addition to their regular menu. Adam personally handled our table and to our surprise when we arrived, had special 60th Anniversary cocktail napkins at each place setting. He had added red, white, blue and silver stars on the table and candles for the extra ambience of color for our special celebration. Our hats are off to them and their restaurant for going way beyond our expectations and we thank them and highly recommend this wonderful eatery to all. Bill and Rose Ann Ernst

CarmelFest volunteers step up A message from the CarmelFest committee to thank the volunteers who helped over the festive weekend. More than 250 people from Carmel (and the surrounding counties) stepped up to volunteer with CarmelFest on July 3rd and 4th. People of all ages and backgrounds, helped deliver ice, set up signs, direct parking, monitor parking

lots, drive golf carts, set up KidZone, manage stages, escort VIP’s, work with sound systems, sell Spark Buttons, pass out water bottles, drop off trash and recycle containers. All of these helping hands made impossible tasks possible. The committee also sends a special thanks to Boy Scout Troop 112.

READERS ’ V I E W S OneZone talks public transit Editor, In addition to other business-serving organizations in Greenwood, Indianapolis and Westfield, OneZone is in support of the creation of a Regional Development Authority. We applaud Current’s comments that the idea could work, and we’ve consistently championed the belief that public transit is important to our region’s future economic development. But here’s where we disagree: Privatization. Presuming privatizing transit would necessarily make the endeavor profitable requires a large leap in logic. Public transit around the world, with rare exception, does not make a profit, and is subsidized to ensure its availability to everyone. Use of public funding. Why do we have no problem utilizing public monies for infrastructure - streets, highways, and bridges, but not transit? Why didn’t we demand that US 31 be privately constructed? Why not privatize municipal street maintenance and snow removal? Economic need and business attraction. We’re excited when we attract new businesses with hundreds of jobs to our com-

munities, but often fail to realize how hard many of those jobs may be to fill without an economically feasible way to get employees to those jobs. Even the job fairs held to attract potential employees are conducted at sites accessible by bus. The costs of the alternative. Finally, with the cost of structured parking garages exceeding $20,000 per space, it’s time we think about providing businesses with options for investing in people and people places instead of car spaces. The establishment of the RDA is an important step toward keeping our region competitive. As individual communities, we are no strangers to the concept of establishing quality of place. It’s driven myriad developments and has given us increasing ammunition in business attraction. We know that enticing business is much more than providing land for an office building. As individual communities, we’ve done a lot. Together – thinking regionally – we can do more. Mo Merhoff, President, OneZone, Inc.

County 4-H Fair features Tea in Rose Garden and more family fun By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com As Monica Taylor was going through her classes to become an intern with the Hamilton County Master Gardener Association, she and a couple of other women were diversion issued a challenge. “Someone challenged us and said you can’t grow roses in Hamilton County,” Taylor said. “We said ‘we’ve always grown roses. I don’t see why you couldn’t grow roses.’ That’s how the Rose Garden came about.” The Educational Rose Garden, on the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville, went in April 26, 2014 and wasn’t ready for prime display last year. “Last year the roses were babies,” Taylor said. Taylor, a Noblesville resident, is hoping to Taylor draw attention to 4-H gardens by holding a Tea in the Rose Garden from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on July 18 during the Hamilton County 4-H Fair, which runs from July 16-21. The Rose Garden, which is at open to the public at all times, contains 104 roses that were planted by more than 60 volunteers. The educational labeling is provided for each rose. The HCMGA takes care of many public gardens on the 4-H Fairgrounds. Native plants, vegetables and herbs all are on display in beds. HCMGA representatives for each garden will be available between 10 a.m. to noon to answer questions and share information about the plants. “We’re hoping to do this again next year if it’s a success and maybe even expanding on it,” said Taylor, who has been with the HCMGA since 2012. Food and craft shows The Hamilton County Extension Homemakers are sponsoring open Food & Craft shows. The show starts at 2 p.m. on July 18 and noon on July 19. Bernie Huber, from the Purdue Extension Hamilton County, has been working with the event for the past five years “There are different food categories with breads, pies, cakes, candies and food preservation,” Huber said. Huber said there are usually multiple crafts, including needlepoint, wood working, scrapbook. “We have multiple categories but we don’t know what people will bring in,” Huber said. Huber said the food and craft exhibitors have to be 18 years and older. “You have to be a Hamilton County resident or one of the extension homemakers, a few of them do live over the line somewhere,” Huber said. Photography is one of the popular categories, Huber said. The Hamilton Co. 4-H Fair runs from July 16-21 ••• For more information or to register for 4-H events, visit extension.purdue.edu/Hamilton.

“We have paintings and there is sewing and quilts and jewelry,” Huber said. Entries are submitted for closed judging July 18 and will be on display July 18-19. The first two days (July 16-17) of the fair is a flower show, primarily flower arrangements. The flower show theme is nursery school rhymes. “They might have a theme like ‘I’m a little teapot’ and ‘Mary, how does your garden grow,’” Huber said. “Then ‘Wee Willie Winkie’ is just a flower arrangement only four or five inches tall.” Blood Center drive Fairgoers can donate blood at the fair from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on July 16 or July 17 at the Indiana Blood Center’s Mobile Unit, which will be north of the Swine Barn.

Behind Bars: Brockway Pub’s Irish Margarita Ingredients: 1.25 oz. of Tullamore D.E.W Irish whiskey, .25 oz. Triple Sec, .5 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice, 8 oz. sweet and sour Directions: Shake, pour over ice in a glass garnished with a lime wedge and a salt rim.

Grilled Lobster Tails with Nectarine-Lime Sauce Total Time: 25 mins Ingredients: 2 nectarines, 1 scallion, Juice of 3 limes, 1 lime, 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, 0.50 tsp. Sea Salt, 0.25 tsp. finely minced seeded habanero pepper, 4 lobster tails Directions: In a food processor, puree nectarines, scallion, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and habanero pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside. 2. Heat grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, whisk remaining lime juice, olive oil, and salt together. Split lobster tails lengthwise, remove membrane if desired, and brush meat with the lime-oil glaze. Place lobsters on grill, meat side down, and roast for 4 minutes; turn over to shell side and grill until meat is opaque and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter, garnish with lime wedges, and serve with reserved nectarine sauce.

“It is not something you would typically order at an Irish bar, but the lime compliments the Irish whiskey and the salt rim adds a nice touch,” said Jen Dickman, bar lead, media manager and event coordinator for the Brockway Pub. The Irish Margarita is on special on Saturday nights, with a dollar off the menu price of $6.75.

Zacky’s: Here to stay By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com At the end of 2014, Zack Darring announced that he was contemplating the sale of his restaurant, Zacky’s Hot Dogs & food BBQ, so he could devote more time to the church. Darring searched for months to find the right fit that would maintain the same quality and high standards which Zacky’s has been known for the past five years. During that time, many requests were made for Zacky’s Hot Dogs & Smokehouse Barbecue, to not only remain open, but if possible, under the same ownership. “Customers told Zack that this is one of the few places locally where they can find a true Chicago dog made the traditional way unless you want to drive to Illinois or Northern Indiana,” he said. Darring said, “This is a ministry to me. There is a connection to people, because there is nothing greater than making people happy. So I just want to continue to bring happiness into their lives.” To Darring, his customers are not just customers. He says they are friends and extended family. Darring plans to make some changes of his own by possibly adding a breakfast menu

Church of St. Simeon the Stylite. (Photo by Don Knebel)

World record for pole sitting Commentary by Don Knebel One of the world’s oldest churches honors a fifth-century ascetic whose record for endurance has remained unbroken. travel The church itself originated a design that is still emulated. The person known as Simeon the Stylite was born to a Christian family near the southern border of Turkey in about 388 A.D. At age 13, he heard a sermon about the “Beatitudes” and decided to devote his life to sacrifice and contemplation. Simeon joined a monastery as a teenager, but was asked to leave because of his extreme asceticism, which included tying a rope around his body so tightly that the flesh rotted. After departing the monastery, he went for 40 days during Lent without eating or drinking. On other occasions, he reportedly stood during the entire Lenten period. As Simeon’s reputation for self-denial spread, people flocked to him, seeking prayers and advice. To avoid the crowds, he fled to a remote mountain top near Aleppo, Syria. When admirers followed him, he got away from them vertically by living on a meter-square platform atop a nine-foot-high pillar (Greek stylos). As curious crowds gathered in larger numbers, Simeon extended the pillar until the platform,

from which he never descended, was about 50-feet above the ground. He preached daily to the people below and occasionally wrote letters to his followers. Even emperors sought his counsel. Simeon died in 459, having spent 37 years on his pillar. He was declared a saint and honored with the oldest surviving Byzantine church, enclosing about 53,000 square feet. Four basilicas, oriented in the cardinal directions, formed a cross and surrounded an octagonal court encompassing Simeon’s famous pillar. Following the example of Simeon, other “stylites” began living on pillars. Alfred, Lord Tennyson memorialized Simeon the Stylite in an 1833 poem and the Guinness Book of World Records gives him the world’s record for pole sitting. The ruins of the Church of St. Simeon the Stylite, with only the base of his famous pillar surviving, are a UNESCO World Heritage site, which have so far survived the fighting in Syria.

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Durability was a primary driver of this fully textured outdoor living space. It’s screaming with enough ameoutdoor living nities to comfortably entertain this families’ 4 growing boys and their gigabyte of hungry teammates. It’s a place to gather, to relax and entertain. And, just as importantly, a place where a cup of steaming coffee and the Current newspaper can be leisurely devoured in the early morning calm. DIVERSTIY Notice the extreme diversity in materials? It intentionally helps define the somewhat separate living areas. The elegant clay pavers signal a more formal and rich dining area. Crunchy compacted stone denotes relaxed areas to gather around the steel fire feature or grill and behaves as a transition to lawn. The rescued stumps from their recently completed tree removal, was an added bonus that “just sort of happened.” I can see myself hanging around the barheight granite counter the team constructed supported by rough sawn cedar 6”x6” posts and framing. It’s especially inviting on a sunny day with the umbrella cleverly secured in

one of the posts, seeming to grow out of the granite. Contrasting bar stools offers a hint of steely brightness and a place to perch. MAKE IT YOURS Over and over again we have inspiring conversations with hopeful homeowners that are searching for a mechanism to bring their family, friends and loved ones together. Often that mechanism is an outdoor living space. The critical factor is making the space yours. Does it need to be durable, like this one? Or does elegant and formal speak to you? Is a

courtyard feel more appropriate or should we search for natural and flowing. Regardless…we all hunger for a place to connect, to gather, relax and have that morning cup of coffee with this week’s Current.

Cut down on the clutter: Kitchen storage ideas Commentary by David Decker Clutter is a major problem in many kitchens, and it’s easy to see why. Walk down the aisle of any departhome improvement ment store and you’ll see rows and rows of kitchen appliances and tools that help with almost any kitchen task you can imagine.
