Solar group earns ‘Sustainable’ award By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com When Solarize Hamilton County realized Senate Bill 309 would alternative energy reduce the benefits to solar energy users, the nonprofit took action, meriting its recent recognition of “Sustainable Champion of the Year.” “When the governor signed it into law in May, we realized that because of that bill, that some people, to get the max amount of benefits from investing in solar, had to invest in solar before the end of the year, which is why we decided to start Solarize Hamilton County,” said Leslie Webb, president of the Carmel Green Initiative. “We think schools and churches and the community should have the right to harvest energy from the sun on their own property and get fair credit for energy or electricity.” Solarize Hamilton County teamed with local mayors and presented at Carmel and Westfield public libraries on the benefits of solar energy. It also partnered with the cities of Fishers and Noblesville. Solarize Hamilton County and the 12 other groups comprising Solarize Indiana received the “Sustainable Champion of the Year” award Dec. 2 from the Hoosier Environment Council. Throughout the year, SHC visited 310 homes in the county, resulting in 21 new solar homes. To end the year, SHC made sure each home followed

through with solar plans. New solar homes in the county include nine in Carmel, three in Noblesville, two in Fishers and one in Westfield. “We’re just making sure the people who signed the contract to get solar installed this year get it done this year,” Webb said. “That’s so important, according to the bill. We are making sure all get done in time.” For more, visit carmelgreen.org.

Things to come Fishers city, school leaders talk upcoming developments for 2018
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Even with the 2017 opening of IKEA, TopGolf, Portillo’s, Braden Business Systems and other enterprises, Fishers’ growth isn’t expected to slow. Here are some of the developments, construction and projects planned for 2018. The Indiana IoT Lab in Fishers will be the first of its kind in the state. (Submitted renderings)
Burger Study and 1933 Lounge, subsidiaries of St. Elmo Steakhouse, are the first two restaurants announced for the 17-acre, $40 million culinary incubator called The Yard. The Yard will be built near 116th Street and Interstate 69.
THE YARD
Internet of Things Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness announced the development of an IoT (Internet of Things) Lab in Fishers on Visionary Way. The lab would be the first of its kind in Indiana, and possibly the Midwest. Internet of Things is the connection of the internet to various devices. The lab is estimated to encompass 24,000 square feet with a makerspace and space for meetings and offices. “We’ll be opening and cutting the ribbon at the Internet of Things Lab in the first quarter,” Fadness said. “Hopefully, we will have a great grand opening next spring. There’s a lot of really interesting and cool converFadness sations about opportunities the Internet of Things is presenting us.”
The first two restaurants for the Yard, a 17-acre, $40 million culinary district to be built near 116th Street and I-69, recently were announced. St. Elmo Steakhouse subsidiary restaurants Burger Study and 1933 Lounge will set up shop, with a groundbreaking scheduled for the second quarter of 2018. The restaurants plan to open in 2019. Craig Huse, co-owner of 1933 Lounge and St. Elmo, said that Fishers was a natural move for the company. “1933 (Bar) from St. Elmo is coming to open up shop at (The Yard),” Huse stated. “That’s going to be in July of (2019), and not only are we Huse bringing a piece of St. Elmo to Fishers, but we’re also going to open up our adult burger concept at Burger Study.” St. Elmo isn’t the only big announcement The Yard has planned. “Next year, we will break ground on The Yard, and between now and the groundbreaking we anticipate having several announcements on restaurants and details put around the culinary incubator and accelerator through next year,” Fadness said. “You will see a lot of activity start to happen out there in terms of announcements around The Yard. There’s been a lot of interest and we have a series of announcements about restaurants we feel people in Fishers will be very excited about.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
In God We Trust Commentary by Terry Anker This time of year, we become reacquainted with old friends and family, remembering why we love and miss them. But also, we may remember why we only see them on holidays! All the same, winter brings out in us an innate desire to reaffirm traditions of all sorts. We search high and low for the “right” sweet potatoes for pie. We love the treat and couldn’t imagine a year without it. Yet, we never seem to miss it the other 364 days of the calendar. Food, decorations and song work our collective memories. They connect us to each other and to our past. Even more so, we scan the channels seeking the reaffirming and redundant broadcast of our favorite movies and specials. How can the 25th viewing be more powerful than the previous 24? One favorite, “A Christmas Story,” is adapted from humorist and author Jean Shepherd’s book, “In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash.” Loosely based on his childhood home in Hammond, Ind., the story is that of youthful desire. Yet, it elegantly lays out the hopes and dashed desires of the protagonist’s “old man” as well. Even as he misses the top prize, he cherishes the one he does receive. Likewise, no one thinks Ralphie to be incomplete without a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle. Still, they suspend their legitimate concerns about his safety to support his long-held dream. Even as we know that our only complete trust may be reserved for our maker, we work to find trust in those around us. Reliability, support and love may not substitute for trust. But, aren’t they close enough? Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@youarecurrent.com.

Some Like It Hot spices up the market Commentary by the Fishers Winter Farmers Market Dive into authentic flavors and recipes at the Fishers Winter Farmers Market. Some farmers market Like It Hot, a part-time vendor during the winter market, offers shoppers a selection of popular salsas and tamales during the winter season. Owned by couple Fernando and Elaine Salgado, Some Like It Hot was built on Mexican cuisine and an entrepreneurial spirit. Having both lived in Mexico, Fernando in Morelia, Michoacán, and Elaine in Cuernavaca, Morelos, they were able to refine the flavor needed to build a new business. Some Like It Hot launched a few years ago with encouragement from family and friends who couldn’t get enough of the couple’s home cooking. A popular vendor at Fishers’ summer farmers markets, Some Like It Hot offers
traditional salsa along with salsa verde in mild, American hot, Mexican hot and diablo. They also offer chicken tamales in red sauce, chicken tamales in green sauce, vegetarian tamales and vegan tamales for those with dietary considerations. Some Like It Hot prepares glutenfree tamales and salsas to accommodate special dietary considerations. Although 2016 was its first year participating in the Fishers Farmers Market, residents embraced Some Like It Hot, which typically sells 500 tamales and 1,500 ounces of salsa on Saturdays during the summer season. Come get a taste of its popular salsas and tamales at the winter market at the Roy G. Holland Memorial Park building. To ensure Some Like It Hot will be in attendance, visit the Fishers Farmers Market Facebook page.

Every Christmas, my four sisters and I struggle to come up with a present for our parents. Often we go solo, one humor framing a picture of the grandkids and another giving a gift card to their favorite restaurant. But this year, divine inspiration hit the youngest, and we magnificently delivered on what will certainly go down as the Best Christmas Present ever. We gave them a golf cart! First, some backstory. My parents have lived in the same house for 45 years. In 2014, the middle sister found the perfect home, directly across the street from Mom and Dad. They are so close that though impractical, a zip line between the two is feasible. Then this past May, our baby sister moved from Chicago, around the corner and five doors down. Dad often jokes that if this were Monopoly, they’d only need one more for a hotel. So, half of my family lives within 200 yards of each other in what is slowly becoming a compound. Enter the golf-cart! Middle Sister braved a potential Facebook Marketplace murderer from Carollton, Ky., to purchase an obviously used four-seater, only to have the windshield blow off on her way back. I nearly rammed the thing through a neighbor’s fence as we prepared for the big reveal. But it was all worth it when my parents were lured outside with lies of carolers and saw it barreling down the street, decked in colored lights and a bow. Mom’s joy in particular was priceless. Now, they can visit and transport grandkids even when hobbled while being the coolest old people on the block. Best Christmas present ever! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist.

Thanks for the funneries Commentary by Dick Wolfsie This is my annual look back at, and appreciation for, all the people and events that inspired many of my humor weekly columns this past year. For example, thanks to… • My brother, for getting married for the first time at a very late stage in life. When my sister called and said, “Your brother is doing something no Jewish guy ever does for the first time at the age of 65,” I thought I was going to his bar mitzvah. • Whole Foods, where I bought an organic bar of green soap, wrapped in clear shrinkwrap. When I got out of the shower the next morning, I told my wife that I didn’t think it lathered very well. “Is it because it’s organic?” I asked Mary Ellen. “No, it’s because you just washed yourself with a wedge of cheese.” • Jerry Lewis, who passed away this year. He made me laugh since I was 8 years old. When I was in sixth grade, the teacher called my parents and said that I was always acting like Jerry Lewis in class. I was shocked when my father explained to me this was actually a bad thing. • The Schneiders, who took us line danc-
ing in Florida. When I was certain I had all the moves right, all the other 65 people were doing it completely wrong. And in unison. Dr. Greg Estes, my knee surgeon. After being told during my initial visit that my wife wanted to go exploring in the Canadian Mountains the following week, he said, “Sounds rocky to me.” “You mean the hiking?” I said. “No, I mean your marriage. What wife would make her husband do that with a knee like yours?” • Finally, a NO thanks to my wife for visiting her friend in Florida without teaching me how to use all the remotes in the house. We have one for Apple TV, one for the DVR, one for the Blu-ray and one for regular TV. “Did you figure out how to turn on the television?” asked Mary Ellen the first night she called. “No, but I opened and closed the garage door 11 times.”

Local man writes book exploring brain disease By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Virginia native Terry McCarthy has always had a passion Alzheimer’s for writing. When he moved to Fishers in May, he decided to delve deeper into that passion. “I'm a (retired) military intelligence analyst by my official duty. I have done a lot of writing ever since I was done with the service. I like to put things down on paper,” McCarthy said. He’s also written a book called “Fighting Alzheimer’s Disease” that shines a light on the growing issue in older adults. The book explores steps to maintain cognitive skills and wellness. “The book focuses on an endemic disease that is taking the country by storm,” McCarthy said. “The basic cause of an increase in Alzheimer’s AD is that medical science and treatments have been so effective that they have overcome or cured the maladies and diseases that normally caused people to die earlier in life. Now, due to this wonderful medical care, everyone is living a lot longer.” McCarthy feels uniquely positioned to
Dispatches Coffee for cough – Although most people may have heard of using honey to calm a cough, a recent study shows that combining the honey with a bit of coffee had a significant effect. Study subjects took a mixture of five parts honey to one part coffee, mixed in water, three times a day. The mixture worked better than a prescription steroid or guaifenesin.

comment on the disease because of his work in assisted living facilities. “I’ve spent the last 18 years in providing a ministry to an assisted living facility, so I have dealt with this population. I have seen what happens to them,” McCarthy said. At age of 82, McCarthy knows why physical fitness is so important. He is a certified personal trainer and a certified Pilates
instructor. “People need to be motivated to develop a proactive lifestyle,” McCarthy said. “I’ve done a wealth of research on the topic. My two basic sources have been the Mayo Clinic and the Harvard Medical School.” For more, visit amazon.com/FightingAlzheimers-Disease-Terence-McCarthy/ dp/1524655309.

ZCHS grad produces rock musical By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com
The first time Zach Rosing was asked to help with a theater production, he was sure he was the theater wrong man for the job. By the time the run concluded, he was sure theater production was in his blood. “I first got involved in producing theater in 2008, when a friend asked me to help with Rosing a local independent production of the musical ‘Bare,’” Rosing said. “I wasn’t much of a theater person before that, and I’m certainly not an actor, but I realized the various skills from my video and media production business translated very well to theater. “I made a lot of great friends, and from there I was hooked.” He still is. A 2001 graduate of Zionsville Community High School, Rosing has produced more than 20 shows since 2008. His most recent effort is the rock musical “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” which begins an eight-performance run Jan. 5 at the Epilogue Players Theatre in Indianapolis. Rosing, owner of Zach Rosing Productions LLC, a video, photography and multimedia business, is working on the

show with producing partner Zack Neiditch. Collaborating under the moniker Zach & Zack, Rosing and Neiditch share responsibilities, which are rather easy to identify. Rosing produces, and Neiditch directs. “For ‘Hedwig,’ I’m in charge of a variety of responsibilities, including assembling a staff, money, marketing, including tak-
ing photos and designing artwork, securing the venue, ticketing, etc.,” Rosing said. “Basically, all the behind-the-scenes administrative stuff. I’m also the sound designer for the show.” A longtime Zionsville resident who moved to Indianapolis a few years ago, Rosing has worked on his own productions and done others for theater companies. He is a three-time winner of NUVO’s Best Locally Produced Play for his work on “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “The Great Bike Race” and “The Gab.” He is producing “Hedwig” for the second time. A stage musical that opened OffBroadway in 1998, “Hedwig” tells the fictional tale of Hedwig Schmidt, an East German “rock goddess” who makes it over the Berlin Wall after a botched sexchange operation and learns “a thing or two” about life along the way. The cast includes Tim Hunt (who is also the associate producer) as Hedwig Schmidt and Kate Homan as Yitzhak. Rosing last produced “Hedwig” in 2014. “I’m excited to revisit it in an intimate, 50-seat venue,” Rosing said. “We always try to surpass expectations for what a nomadic theater company can produce. Audiences should expect an evening they’ll never forget. Also, it will be loud.” The show contains mature content and is recommended for people 16 and older.

Songbook applications due March 25 editorial@youarecurrent.com The Great American Songbook Foundation’s nationwide application process for its 2018 Songbook Academy summer intensive program is under way. The music and performance program for high school students is led by Foundation founder and five-time Grammy Award nominee Michael Feinstein. The weeklong Songbook Academy is the only high school intensive in the U.S. focused on jazz standards and classic Broadway and Hollywood songs, known as the Great American Songbook. The academy is scheduled for July 21 to 28 at the Songbook Foundation’s headquarters, the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. U.S. high school students are invited to submit videos with performances of two contrasting songs from the Great American Songbook genre. The 2018 application deadline is March 25. Forty students nationwide are selected each year for this opportunity to participate in workshops and masterclasses. “These young peoples’ lives are forever changed by the experience, and they stay bonded to each other,” Feinstein stated in a press release. “Whether they become professional musicians or not is not the point. The goal is just to give them the joy of experiencing this music, and the eloquence and beauty of the emotions and feelings that are expressed in it.” For more, visit TheSongbook.org.

New wines for a New Year Commentary by Elizabeth Morse Fraught with resolutions and anticipation, 2018 is upon us. Why not make one of your goals to expand WINEderlust your wine horizons? Many of us find something we like and stick with it. You fell in love with Riesling in college and haven’t strayed? Maybe you only drink Merlot. You never buy anything but California Chardonnay? Well, friend, you are passing up some tantalizing taste-bud experiences. This new year, think about what you like about your “usual” and develop it. Personal growth applies to wine, too. Here’s how: Pinpoint what you like best. If you aren’t used to picking out flavors, get an idea by looking at the description on the back of the bottle. You may see words like “hints of…chocolate, red berry, nutmeg, leather, tropical fruit.” Figure out your sweet spot. Tell the clerk what you usually drink and why. For example: “I am just polishing off the last of my 2005 Gravity Hills Killer Climb Syrah. I really like the bacon fat and
black pepper flavors in it. Can you suggest others that I might like?” The shop keep should say something like, “If you dig bacon, splurge on a Côte-Rôtie from France. At $56ish the Maison Brotte ‘Les Murets’ is totally worth it. If you’d rather go with mad pepper tonight, 1000 Stories Zinfandel at about $20 is an affordable option. You could also go with a young Rioja from Spain or even a sweet Port like Quinta do Noval, Noval Black. About $23.” You’ve just gotten four diverse options to choose from, each with a little something you already know that you’ll enjoy. Bottle shops are an amazing resource. Use them. The server at your favorite wine bar can help, too. Consider signing up for a wine tasting with friends. You will learn so much about what you love and what you don’t. Live a little and explore the wide world of wine this year. Cheers! Elizabeth Morse is an owner of Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple. Have a wine or entertaining question?

Blueprint for Improvement: Whole-house transformation Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions
Before
Background info: This home west of Indianapolis was built in the 1950s as a custom model home. Although the home had many great characteristics, it needed many updates to bring the interior and exterior up-to-date.
Before problems The original kitchen was very small and narrow, making it difficult for the owner to host guests and limiting flow into the living area. Several of the bathrooms in the home had original tile, cabinetry and plumbing fixtures. The outdoor living space lacked many of the details that the owners desired.
After
The goal was to create more space and to update multiple rooms of the home while keeping a cohesive design. 1. The original galley-style kitchen lacked the space the owner desired. By relocating an interior wall, the kitchen footprint was expanded, allowing enough space to put in a large island for casual seating. 2. Replacing all cabinetry, countertops, hardware and appliances gave the kitchen the modern update it needed. 3. To make the laundry room a more functional space, cabinetry and shelving for storage was added. 4. On the exterior of the home, the pergola was replaced with a much larger freestanding pavilion structure that housed an outdoor kitchen, fireplace and a TV, giving the homeowner plenty of room to entertain.
