Eastside road delays, openings announced By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Residents on Carmel’s eastside have dealt with several simultaneous road closures this summer, with one transportation lasting nearly three times longer than projected. The city recently announced good and bad news regarding roundabouts under construction. The good news is 116th Street and Hazel Dell Parkway is scheduled to open by Aug. 19 or sooner. This project began June 5. The bad news is 136th and Gray Road, which was originally expected to open in midJune, is delayed again because of utilities. As a result, there’s no projected opening date as of press time. The project began April 24, but utility issues and the discovery of an ancient artifact at the site have caused delays. “It would be nice to be able to say it was any one thing, but it was one thing after another thing after another thing,” said Josh Kirsh, Carmel’s engineering administrator. City councilor Sue Finkam, who represents

northeast Carmel, said residents are frustrated by the closure. She even started a contest on her council Facebook page where people can guess the date when the 136th Street and Gray Road roundabout will open. The winner will receive a $25 Starbucks gift card from Finkam. “It’s frustrating, but we are just going to have to be patient because there isn’t much

else we can do,” she said. Finkam said she’s been told state law prohibits the city from punishing the utility companies for delays and that the Indiana State Legislature would need to get involved. Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said he would like to see “more teeth” when it comes to state law regarding utilities and construction. “There’s no state law that requires that utilities get out of the way in a timely manner,” he said. “There should be a penalty. It costs the public and the city money. It’s very inconvenient for motorists. Unfortunately, in our system, these monopolies think they can do anything they want and local government can’t really do anything about it.” Kirsh said the summer of 2018 will likely be one of the busiest construction seasons in Carmel. “We really appreciate everybody’s patience while we are making this massive boom right now,” he said. “We are really sure come fall as we’re wrapping up these projects everybody’s going to have a deep sigh of relief.”
A new roundabout is set to be constructed soon on Range Line Road, but unlike several others, this one isn’t replacing a traffic construction light or stop sign. Construction on the roundabout at Range Line Road and 4th Street South was set to begin Aug. 21 to help create an entryway into the Midtown area, which is along the Monon Trail between Main Street and Carmel City Center undergoing rapid change. More than $100 million in development is planned for the area, including a new headquarters for Allied Solutions, which will create 614 new jobs. The city will extend 4th Street into that area, which is why the new roundabout is needed to help get Allied employees in and out of the area during rush hour. “There’s going to be a new street installed and we need to get the traffic in and out,” Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said. “If we didn’t build this roundabout, it could become a traffic nightmare. If you don’t build the infrastructure to anticipate development, you can have problems. We really try to stay ahead of development.” In some office parks in Carmel, off-duty police officers will direct traffic during rush hours for employees arriving and departing work. Brainard said roundabouts, along with staggered start and end work times, should alleviate a similar need in Midtown. The Carmel Arts & Design District archway is be-

ing disassembled and moved to make room for the roundabout. Brainard said he was unsure where the archway would go. As a result, construction was initially delayed. It was originally scheduled to start Aug. 7 but work didn’t begin on the archway and 4th Street until Aug. 14. The roundabout was set to begin Aug. 21, and there will be a full closure for 30 days. As for detours, motorists coming from the south can reach Main Street in the Carmel Arts & Design District by taking Keystone Parkway north and getting off on the Main Street exit or by turning left onto City Center Drive and taking a right turn on 3rd Avenue SW to head toward the Arts District. To make way for the construction, the Carmel Redevelopment Commission has agreed to pay a little more than $1 million to acquire Miller Auto Care’s land. The auto shop can remain open even after the sale, but much of the customer parking will be taken away from this project, which is why the owners said they are likely to relocate in the future.

Committee talks luxury hotel By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com When Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard first approached Pedcor President/CEO Bruce Cordingley about development developing a fullservice, luxury hotel near Carmel City Center, he was not immediately on board. Cordingley figured the city could land a slightly lesser-quality hotel that would still be nicer than anything else in town. But when he learned more about it, he was all in. “I want us to make an effort to do something extraordinary,” Cordingley said. “I have no interest in going and doing this Cordingley if we’re going to just do something other cities have.” Brainard has proposed building a fourstar Autograph Collection by Marriott hotel and is spending at least $10 million in an attempt to make it happen. The hotel would be co-owned by Pedcor and the city and funded through $101 million in bonds proposed by Brainard that also include several other projects. The Carmel Redevelopment Commission would help pay construction costs and back up the mortgage loan payments. The proposal was the topic of a lengthy conversation Aug. 15 at the Carmel City Council’s Finance, Utilities and Rules committee meeting. CRC Director Corrie Meyer presented a memo that outlined answers to several questions from committee members. She said the city wants to pursue the hotel as a public-private partnership because it will produce tax increment financing to help cover the costs, provide for an entity to hold a franchise agreement with Marriott and won’t require the city to do an RFP process. Current has filed a records request to obtain a copy of the memo. Cordingley said a public-private partnership is the only way this type of hotel could be built in Carmel. He pointed to several other developments in the area that Pedcor has developed in partnership with the city as examples of unique, long-term projects that could not have been built without government support. “I hope all of you enjoy Carmel City Center. I hope you enjoy the Indiana Design Center. I hope you enjoy the Old Town Shops and Pedcor Square,” Cordingley said. “Those are not things the private sector on its own can do. It needs the help of the
a gift to the city When Bruce Cordingley agreed to begin developing an area of Carmel that is now among the city’s most recognizable, he said the city “almost had to give away” much of the land because the area had little to attract developers. A decade later, Cordingley said the nearby site for the proposed hotel is “the most valuable parcel in the state of Indiana” thanks to the public-private partnership between the City of Carmel and Pedcor that led to building The Palladium, Carmel City Center and other developments around it. “There should be a fair deal for Pedcor, because we caused the site to become valuable at great cost to us,” Cordingley said. “I think the measure of value should be a measure of our interest and a fair share of the profits going forward is measured on that basis.” Part of the proposed deal includes the city receiving 67 percent of revenues from the hotel with Pedcor receiving 33 percent for a decade. Cordingley said Pedcor has lost money on some of the projects it partnered with the city to complete. Carmel City Center — which Cordingley said was delivered two years past due — still has not been a profitable project for Pedcor, and that it turned out to be “a gift to the street, a charitable contribution by Pedcor to the city.” public sector to do it.” Peter Coury, an Oklahoma-based consultant receiving $20,000 a month to advise Carmel on landing the hotel, said that with 125 corporations calling Carmel home, the proposed hotel shouldn’t have trouble filling rooms. He expects it will serve approximately 65 percent business travelers, 25 percent social travelers and 10 percent groups. Rates are expected to average $192 per night, said Coury, who added that he was currently paying more than that at a limited-service hotel. Cordingley said the hotel’s “reasonable cost” will make it a “community asset.” Cordingley said in the past decade Pedcor hasn’t been contacted by any hotel developers about the site. The committee is expected to meet again at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 28 to discuss an antique carousel purchase that also is included in the bonds. The hotel could also be discussed at that meeting.

In summer 2018, Carmel residents along 126th Street from Keystone to Hazel Dell parkways city news might notice some digging along the side of the road in the right-of-way. That’s because the City of Carmel is constructing 10-foot, multi-use pathways to replace the existing sidewalk and areas where it is missing. Area residents have been asking for new paths for some time. There are two schools nearby, and parents are seeking a safe way to walk children to class. The project will include a pedestrian bridge over Cool Creek. The $2 million project will be 80 percent funded through a Transportation Alternatives Programs grant from INDOT. The city will

pay for the remaining 20 percent. When complete, the new pathway will ultimately connect much of Carmel’s eastside, according to David Littlejohn, the city’s alternative transportation coordinator. He said a cyclist will be able to travel from the White River Greenway near Conner Prairie all the way across 126th Street to the Monon Trail. To help explain the project and answer questions, city councilors Sue Finkam and Bruce Kimball will hold a public meeting at 6 p.m. Aug. 23 at the Clay Middle School Auditorium. Finkam said the project will promote cycling safety. She understands some affected residents might have questions about how the path might affect their front yards or the public right-of-way. Construction could begin in July 2018 and continue into the fall.
Hamilton County Commissioners, at their Aug. 14 meeting, voted unanimously to abolish the Hamilton County Board of county Voter Registration. The board, made up of one Democrat and one Republican, is now under the authority of Hamilton County Clerk Tammy Baitz. Commissioner Steve Dillinger said the decision was made for personnel management. “We had an issue with (a board of voter registration) employee. They weren’t going by the personnel policy. Those individuals work for the county (party) chairman, not the county, even though we pay them and provide (benefits). They can do whatever they want to do because they work for the party chairman, Republican or Democrat. That made it very unfair to our 800-some other employees,” Dillinger said. In Indiana, county boards of voter registration were created in 2004. Now, after an amendment to the law, counties have the option to abolish them. Read the full story at currentincarmel.com.

Lucas Estate seeks variance for events By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com Lucas Estate, a large property in Carmel once called the Hilbert Mansion, is seeking a variance to use the property for BZA semi-public events such as weddings, receptions, fundraising, recognition ceremonies and more. The Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals will meet to discuss the variance at 6 p.m. Aug. 28 in the City Council Chambers at City Hall. The property, purchased by Forrest and Charlotte Lucas of the Lucas Oil Company in 2010, has hosted such events in the past, but the owners claim they have mostly hosted private charity events. According to the application, corporate events are usually local partners, and the Lucas family attends nearly every event. There are 30 to 50 events a year, and they have no intention to increase event activity. Events could range from 20 to 500 guests. “The Lucas Estate is not an avenue to make money,” the petitioner application reads. “The estate cannot be hired out by anyone simply by paying for a certain fee. This is not a traditional, commercial banquet facility.” The petitioner claims it does not plan to

build additional event spaces. The main house at 1143 W. 116th St. has five bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and several other rooms spread out on four floors. The Lucas family bought Stephen Hilbert’s $35 million Carmel estate at auction for $3 million after it sat on the market for five years. It had five buildings on more than 33 acres. In 2016, the Lucas Family expanded the property by purchasing the adjacent
40-acre property of Bob Irsay, late owner of the Indianapolis Colts. The variance would encompass both properties as Lucas Estate. Chuck Lazzara, owner of Ritz Charles and developer of a new mixed-used project in the Carmel Arts & Design District, expressed concerns in a letter. “We do not object to this type of competition,” he writes. “(We) do object to a variance in creation of profit-oriented business in a residential zoned neighborhood. … Zoning has been created in the City of Carmel allowing business to compete on equal footing, abide by all laws governing such, pay a much higher property tax, market endeavors according to those requirements that fit in their application.” A variance is different from a rezone because Lucas Estate would still be considered a residential property and pay residential property taxes. Neighbors at Estancia Way wrote a letter with concerns about amplified sound levels at events. They say they are neither for nor against the variance, just raising questions. Representatives from Lucas Estate did not respond to a request for comment.

A trip to the Indiana State Fair is a favorite tradition for Derek Fakehany and Amy Van Ostrand, but this year update their visit was extra special. The Carmel couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows Aug. 12 at the Midway. “It was a ‘pinch me, because this might be the happiest day of my life’ moment,” Van Ostrand said. It was a day that at one point they thought might not ever come. In early 2016, Fakehany was diagnosed with a blood cancer. He battled the disease for approximately 20 months, with a second bone marrow transplant proving key to his recovery. Fakehany’s condition was complicated when the family was forced to move out of their Carmel home of 16 years after repeated flooding led to mold, which can cause serious problems for someone with a weakened immune system. The couple spent tens of thousands of dollars out-ofpocket to try and remedy the situation and firmly believed that the floods were caused

by failing infrastructure. The City of Carmel completed pipe upgrades and other drainage improvement projects in the area in 2016, and the home hasn’t flooded since. “It confirms the correctness of our position all along,” Van Ostrand said. Van Ostrand and Fakehany filed a lawsuit against Carmel in August 2016 seeking compensation for the more than $88,000 she and Fakehany have spent out-of-pocket on mold remediation, replacing damaged belongings, a lease for temporary housing and other costs. The lawsuit is pending.

According to Guy Relford, there are “Four Rules” of safe gun handling. 1. Treat every gun as if it is loaded. 2. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. 3. Always keep your finger (and anything else) away from the trigger until your sights are on the target and you are ready to shoot. 4. Always be sure of your target and anything aligned with your target (in front or in back) before you pull the trigger.
Always store every gun so that it is inaccessible to anyone who is not trained or authorized to handle your firearm. This doesn’t mean hidden on a high shelf or the top of the armoire. It means locked up. There are quick-open gun safes that allow gun owners to access a firearm in a second or two but still keep the gun inaccessible to others, particularly young children.

ob s e r v a tion Leading the pack
Pass the tequila
Commentary by Terry Anker
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
For decades, television brought us a shared culture. Mostly, we watched the same programs on the same channels at the same time. Each Tuesday morning, we could gather around the water cooler, or even more likely the Mr. Coffee, to exchange a few laughs about the antics of Chrissy and her roommates Jack and Janet – not to mention that silly Mr. Furley. Just as surely, the next day we’d gather again and, this time, the topic would be who shot J.R. Even the commercials lent themselves to our common understanding. They taught that every group had one kid who was fearless. When mom brought home a cereal that was supposed to be, ugh, good for us, we could always call on Mikey because, as we all knew, “he would try anything.” Then as Mikey clearly loved the new breakfast treat, we would understand that the food is good and that we should be more willing to experience the new and improved. By the time the other slackers were pouring a bowl, Mikey had moved on to his second. But, is there a downside to being out in front? If we laud those bold enough to seek the first-mover advantage, why don’t more of us seek it? The truth, one could suppose, is that there are a lot of “new” cereals that are terrible, awful concoctions unfit for human consumption. And that for every happy Mikey, there are scores of others working for days to rid themselves of the terrible aftertaste of a cereal experiment gone wrong. And if there are times when we are best served by letting, even encouraging, someone else to lead the pack, how do we discern? Do we forfeit potential advantage in avoiding risk or assume risk to gain potential advantage?
In a few short hours, Doo and I will be depositing our firstborn on the steps of his college dormitory. We’ll wish humor him well, dole out some hugs and kisses, and of course remind him to make good choices and do his best. The question is, will we drive away with tears in our eyes, mourning the end of our son’s childhood, or will we stop at the nearest bar and celebrate with tequila shots? I’m betting on the latter. Why? Historical precedence. Though we’ve never sent a kid to college, we have experienced four “first days” of kindergarten, four fifth-grade graduations and countless other academic milestones. And not once, with the exception of a fluke Chick-fil-A drive-thru incident last May, have I boo-hooed. For many Augusts, in fact, I guzzled mimosas with my cul-de-sac peeps to welcome back that beautiful yellow bus and toast our children as they climbed aboard. Going off to school was a magical moment for me when I was a stay-at-home mom, and I thanked Baby Jesus every day that my kids were old enough to leave me for six to eight hours. I don’t think I will feel very different this afternoon. Our 18-year-old is ready to leave us, and quite frankly, we’re ready for him to go. We love him, but he’s in that weird split-personality place where he’s both an adult and a teenager, at times independent and quite needy at others. It’s time for him to spread his wings and either fly or fall. Luckily for us, he’s chosen to take his first flight 90 minutes away. Nope, I don’t predict any tears today. Peace out.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Carmel is showing its age Editor, The argument du jour pertaining to a carousel and high-end hotel is mostly Carmel showing its age. Is a carousel a good use of public money in the 21st century? Some cities think so. Is having a high-end hotel downtown a good use of public money in the 21st century? Many big cities think so. A city that covets corporate headquarters must recognize the need for those companies, on occasion, to bring customers or guests into Carmel and put them up for a night or a week. A hip, modern hotel within walking distance of all that downtown Carmel now offers should do well. The mayor, my favorite Republican,
has done much for the city, but after so many years his reach still exceeds his grasp. These items, especially the hotel, could conceivably help the city compete for high-paying jobs. But they are a tough sell to aging and increasingly grumpy Carmel residents suffering from the delusion that our property taxes are too high (talk to anyone owning a home in Illinois). The city must do some things to distinguish itself from the other ambitious Indianapolis ring cities — Fishers, Greenwood, Avon, etc. Strangely enough, projects like a carousel and a boutique hotel could make a difference. At least they’re better than Greenwood’s Big Red Rock. Bruce Allen, Carmel

A true veggietale Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I have just seen the government’s reissued dietary guidelines online. I’m not a fan of the current administration, but I humor thought in this area they were going to cut us some slack - or a least a big piece of chocolate cake. I can exercise five times a week, cut down on carbs, eat three fruits a day and choke down eight glasses of water (if I get to count Scotch and water). I can eat cod once a week for the omega fat benefits. But I can’t do 11 vegetables a day. No way. This new food pyramid, which would make pharaohs roll over in their graves, now suggests that we need almost a dozen servings of the green, yellow and orange stuff every day. If God can make a waterfall, why can’t broccoli taste like mint chip ice cream? When you’ve got the gift of miracles, flaunt it. If all these things are so good for you, why weren’t they made better tasting? Wouldn’t you just love to hear your kid say at McDonald’s, “I’d like a Big Mac and a large order of beets, please”? My wife is a health nut. She suggested that instead of seeing vegetables as tiny
pieces of tasteless greenery, I should find some creative way of eating them. Here’s my plan for getting in your 11 veggies a day. BREAKFAST • Two Bloody Marys (with V-8 Juice and celery sticks) • Corn chips and guacamole Total veggies: 4 LUNCH • One Bloomin’ Onion (steakhouse-style) • Two pieces of zucchini bread with vegetable hummus • One cup of salsa • Deep-fried cauliflower Total veggies: 4 DINNER • Three pieces of cream cheese carrot cake • Corn fritters with ketchup • One martini with two olives Total veggies: 7 That’s 15 servings of vegetables! I can’t wait to start this new diet tomorrow.

REA D ERS ’ V I EWS Resist the roundabout ‘challenge’ Editor, I hope no one takes Bill Shaffer up on his challenge to go joyriding around as many roundabouts as possible in an hour in August, adding to the congestion we already encounter in this city, especially in the face of the numerous construction detours. In addition, his “challenge” encourages wasting valuable resources, fossil fuels and adding to the pollution (air and noise) in our community. Apparently, Mr. Shaffer
believes, possibly because of the irrationally low gasoline prices or because money is no object for him, that such things do not matter and drives as if he has a spare world in his trunk to pull out when things go wrong with the one, the only one, we have. I find his cavalier attitude to our environment absolutely not funny. Rather than “Let us begin,” say, “let us desist!” Alison Brown, Carmel
Use the Rule of Five Zeroes Editor, As the official non-mayor of Carmel, I hereby authorize my fellow Carmelitarians to capitalize on the rare opportunity to use the Rule of Five Zeroes. It goes like this: Our population is estimated at 100,000. That’s a 1 with 5 zeroes (for slow readers). That means whenever you see official estimates in the millions, just erase five zeroes and you know what per-capita costs are involved. How it works:
• $101 million in new bonds — $1,010 per man, woman and child Carmeleons. • $25 million for land acquisition for an elite hotel, etc. — $250 apiece. • $10 million to lure that hotel — $100 from each Carmelodian pocket. • $3-5 million for a merry-go-round — $30-50 per person (no information on how many rides each gets). Rule of Five Zeroes. Magic. Bill Shaffer, Carmel

Commentary by George Klein Consistently providing great service was the foundation that made my businesses successful. I believe service that all customer feedback is good, including feedback about problems. That is valuable information we can use to improve. So, it amazes me when I interact with businesses that don’t seem to care or want to hear from customers. I had a bad experience with an upscale restaurant and sent in a web form about the situation. A month later, they haven’t responded to me. So, I‘m left wondering why this restaurant, as well as other businesses, don’t respond to customers. Here are four of the top reasons I think businesses don’t respond. They don’t care Businesses are willing to let bad service go unaddressed. They view problems as a part of doing business. Things do happen, but customers deserve and want a response and an apology when things go wrong. Individual situations should be handled, but more importantly, businesses should look at feedback over time to identify trends and patterns to drive change.
They don’t like to be criticized Businesses become defensive when customers criticize them. Most customers complain because they care about the business. They are giving the business valuable information and a chance to improve. View complaints as opportunities! Employees are afraid to share feedback Every business has service failures. Employees are deeply involved with customers and have lots of valuable information. They should feel safe sharing that feedback, and they should never be punished for bringing a problem to the attention of management. They don’t have the manpower Businesses should offer multiple channels customers can use to contact them and should staff appropriately to respond. Research has found that customers expect a response within 24 hours, and the faster the response time, the more likely customers will be satisfied.

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com South Korean nursing students are getting a feel for the health care culture of the U.S. through a program nursing at IU Health North Hospital in Carmel. Fishers resident Sookie Kim, an 11-yearveteran of IU Health North Hospital as a case manager, started the program three years ago. Kim was an adjunct professor at Daegu University in South Korea and speaks at many universities throughout that nation. “University faculties and I thought that bringing Korean nursing students here would be the best way to learn,” Kim said. Kim contributes to the South Korean nursing program as a clinical instructor, coordinator and facilitator between Daegu University and IU Health North Hospital. The South Korean nursing students participate in a two-week clinical rotation. During that time, the students shadow a nurse for six hours a day throughout most of the units in the hospital, including the emergency department and labor and delivery.

Dance contest to benefit Meals on Wheels By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County is hoping some smooth dance moves will translate into some giving back needed funds. The nonprofit’s Dancing With Our Stars will be held 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 7 at the 502 East Event Centre, Carmel. St. Vincent and Medxcel are the presenting sponsors for the group’s largest fundraiser. Beth Gehlhausen, the nonprofit’s executive director, said the goal this year is to raise $65,000, well above last year’s total of $25,000. “That’s a huge leap, but we had some things happen that impacted participants being able to attend due to two of our dancers not being able to continue on due to some health issues,” Gehlhausen said. During the past year, Gehlhausen said Meals on Wheels served approximately 166 people a month, which equals to more than 4,400 meals that go through Hamilton County.

between 2015 and 2016 to the tune of about 112 percent,” Gehlhausen said. Gehlhausen said the nonprofit budgeted $34,000 to pay for those meals, which actually cost nearly $71,000. “Last year, for example, a little over 50 percent of the people we served fully paid for their meals,” Gehlhausen said. “The other 50 percent were on our Sponsor a Senior program or had funding through CICOA (Central Indiana Council on Aging). Our concern is we are going to see more people that have need. We’re concerned that if this growth continues we might not be able to serve everyone all at once, and we might
Wright pays homage to circus era By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Tim Wright felt a sense of sadness when he learned the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus would end its 146music year run in May. “It’s a piece of Americana and our past that is gone now,” Wright said. Wright, 65, was working with John Stevens Jr. earlier in the year when he shared his thoughts. “I told him I’d been thinking about this idea for a song to honor the passing of that era,” said Wright, a Carmel resident and a member of The Wright Brothers. That led to the two combining talents to write “Since the Circus Left Town,” which was released as a music video in July as a farewell tribute to The Greatest Show on Earth. Stevens, from Crawfordsville, sings while Wright sings harmonies and plays the Dobro, harmonica and mandolin. “I don’t think the circus was as thrilling to younger people because of everything that is accessible on the internet,” Wright said. “You go to a movie nowadays, there is so much special effects, so seeing a lion jump through a hoop doesn’t do much for
have to go to a waiting list. Our board is adamant about not wanting to do that. We have to raise more money to keep with that level of growth. We want them to be able to continue to live in their homes and get hot meals Monday through Friday. Obviously, the cost of staying in your own home is much cheaper than going into a facility.” Meals on Wheels delivers Monday through Friday. A donation of $35 pays for someone to get two meals a day (Monday through Friday) and $145 for two meals per day for a month. For more, visit mealsonwheelshc.org.

them.” When Wright started writing lyrics, it was more history-oriented. “John took it and made it more personal,” Wright said. “Mine was more like a third person, and John’s take was first person. We got together again and hammered the lyrics. John wrote all the music.” The music was recorded at Keith Claghorn’s KC Pro Studio. The Children’s Museum and the old Crawfordsville High School gym were two locations used for filming. The song can be found on YouTube and on Facebook. It had gotten more than 23,000 Facebook views in the first six days. “We just wanted to say something. We didn’t really expect the response we got, so we’re thrilled,” Stevens said.

Repose, intelligent and mindful grays and silver strand are some of our picks. Gray, defined as an intermediate color between black and white, is considered achromatic, meaning without color.

Palace of Cibeles and Cibeles Fountain in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by Don Knebel)
The heart of Madrid
Commentary by Don Knebel
Madrid is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with broad tree-lined boulevards and a number of vibrant travel plazas. One of those plazas can legitimately be called the physical and emotional heart of the city. The Plaza de Cibeles, at the intersection of two important streets, derives its name from the Cibeles Fountain, a magnificent marble fountain depicting Cybele, the protector of the city, riding a chariot pulled by two lions. Cybele, sometimes called the Great Mother, is an ancient Anatolian goddess of fertility and nature. According to Greek mythology, Cybele turned Atalanta and Hippomenes into lions after she caught them having sex in one of her temples, demonstrating her power over nature. The Cibeles Fountain, designed by Spanish artist Ventura Rodriguez in 1777, was placed in front of the Prado Museum in 1782, where it provided water for Madrid residents and their horses. In 1895, the fountain was moved to the center of what was then known as the Plaza de Madrid. The plaza
quickly assumed the name of the fountain, which had become the symbol of the city. The Plaza of Cibeles is surrounded by four distinctive buildings, each of which anchors a different Madrid neighborhood. The design of the most beautiful of the four buildings, combining gothic and classical elements suggesting a medieval cathedral, belies its prosaic original purpose as the headquarters of the Madrid Postal Service. Called the Palace of Communications when it opened in 1919, the building became Madrid’s city hall in 2011 and is now known as the Palace of Cibeles. After significant victories by Real Madrid, Madrid’s professional football (soccer) team, the team and its fans congregate in the Plaza de Cibeles and plant the team flag atop the figure of Cybele. Nothing more eloquently confirms that the plaza is the heart of Madrid.

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt “A quandary I would love to see you address in a future grammar guy column is the proper usage of ‘further’ vs. ‘farther’, and if there are any helpful tricks for remembering which to use when.” -Taina, Zionsville The easiest way to decide which word to use in your specific syntactic situation is this: use “farther” when you’re referring to physical distance and “further” when you’re describing figurative or metaphorical distance. What’s great is that “farther” has the word “far” in it, and you already know that “far” deals with physical distance. I’ll share a hypothetical example. Suppose Rick and Gary are flying to the moon to expose the moon landing as a massive, deep state government cover up. For the record, I do not subscribe to that opinion, but Rick and Gary do. They’ve built a space vessel, successfully rocketed out of Earth’s upper atmosphere and are now cruising weightlessly toward their lunar destination. Gary, who is chronically impatient, turns to Rick, the pilot of the ship, and asks, “Rick! Are we there yet? How much farther?” Gary is referring to a physical distance, so “farther” is correct. Later in their journey, Rick and Gary are passing time by discussing various conspiracy theories. As Gary rambles on about how lizard people actually built the pyramids, he remarks, “Rick! Don’t you get it? How much further down the rabbit hole can we go?” Although on one hand you could argue that a rabbit hole is a physical distance, in this instance
Down the rabbit hole
the rabbit hole Gary refers to is figurative, so “further” is correct. On the bright side, if it’s unclear which word to use because you can’t determine if you’re referring to physical or figurative distance, most experts agree “farther” and “further” can be used interchangeably.
