Topgolf plans to invest $18 million into Fishers location By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Topgolf International has announced that Fishers will be the home of the company’s first golf and entertainment location in Indiana. The Fishers City Council unanimously approved an impact fee agreement at its Jan. business 19 meeting to waive approximately $666,000 in city development fees. Topgolf will invest a minimum of $18 million into the development with plans to begin construction on the 60,000-square-foot venue later this year and to open in the spring of 2017 at 9774 E. 116th St. near Cumberland Road. Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness called the resolution that went before the city council an atypical impact fee resolution. “One of the things that was really important to us was the investment and that the image and vision of what they wanted to build actually comes to fruition. Within this impact resolution, these exhibits are not here just for illustrative purposes, but to hold them accountable for creating the vision that they say they’re going to create,” Fadness said. “From our evaluation of the assessment, if we were to waive impact fees, the rate of return on investment is probably a little less than three years just from a property tax revenue generation — not to mention the income taxes generated off the employees plus the fact that it’s a general draw to our community.” With 24 locations across the United States and United Kingdom, Topgolf offers a multi-level driving

range facility with golf balls containing computer microchips to track players’ shots for accuracy and distance while awarding points for hitting targets in the field. The Fishers location will include 102 climatecontrolled hitting bays that can host up to six players, more than 230 TVs, 3,000 square feet of private event space and a food and beverage menu. “The public feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” Fishers’ director of economic development Brandon Dickinson said. “We think it’s a fantastic project and it adds to the overall value of Fishers as a draw to both residents and visitors alike.” Topgolf vice president of real estate development Zach Shor estimates the Fishers location will serve approximately 450,000 visitors in its first year and a third-party audit estimated its economic output in Fishers to exceed $264.5 million over a 10-year period. Fadness said the facility will create 135 full-time jobs and up to as many as 450 total jobs. For more, visit TopGolf.com or Facebook.com/ TopGolfFishers.

Council approves IKEA design plans By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com

The Fishers City Council unanimously approved a rezone for the property that will house the city’s IKEA location at its regular monthly development meeting Jan. 19, allowing for the Swedish home furnishings retailer’s first Indiana store to match the signature look of its locations worldwide. “IKEA has agreed to use the development standards which have been outlined in our unified development ordinance ... with modifications to the architectural design standards,” community development planner Kevin Stotts told the council. “The proposed architectural changes would allow IKEA the ability to build the same unique architecturally designed eleva-

tions which IKEA stores are known for worldwide. “ The 296,000-square-foot IKEA with approximately 1,000 parking spaces will be built on a 35-acre site along the eastern side of I-69, just south of the E. 116th Street exit. The ordinance approved by city council allows for certain architectural design standards within the city’s unified development ordinance to not apply for the IKEA building. “This is a really project-specific PUD ordinance,” Steve Hardin, a lawyer with Faegre Baker Daniels representing IKEA, said. “You're seeing exactly what's being proposed and the plan is to move right into the development and planning process right after this.” Construction is planned to begin this fall, with the Fishers IKEA store opening in the fall of 2017.

Mr. Royal talent show set for Jan. 28 By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School’s Mr. Royal talent show competition draws a variety of senior male contenders. performance “It’s cool how any kind of personality and person can come into this competition and compete and have a chance to win,” Andrew Kocher, part of this year’s lineup, said. Kocher, who played soccer at HSE, has plans for a cheerleader skit based on the old Saturday Night Live skit and will employ the help Kocher of his friend Anna Muhrling. This year’s Mr. Royal show will be at 7 p.m. Jan. 28 in the Leonard Auditorium at Hamilton Southeastern High School. “It’s one of those things that people really love,” David Bock, another contender, said. “It’s a talent show, but there are people that make fools of themselves and do stupid things. Then there are some people that have real talent who perform.” Bock will do impressions of school administrators, including HSE principal Matt Kegley doing announcements.

“It’s the only thing I can think of as a talent of mine,” Bock said. “If I don’t win, I’m not going to be upset. I’m just going to have fun up there. If I do bad, I do bad.” Bock said he has been excited to be a part of the Mr. Royal show since his freshman year at HSE. “I had an upperclassmen convince me to go, and I absolutely laughed hard at everything,” Bock said. “So as a freshman I thought, ‘When I’m a senior I really want to do this.’” Bock, who is in the Principal’s Advisory Group, plays intramural basketball and is a strong supporter of HSE athletics. Bock Adams “I’m one of those kids that loves to get loud and proud about my school and show some spirit,” Bock said. Sam Adams, who is involved with HSE’s Choir and Drama Club, learned about Mr. Royal from his sister before he even got to high school. “I’m going to do a quartet with myself,” Adams said. “I recorded myself doing three parts of a quartet song, and I’ll sing one part of it live. The three parts are arguing with each other, and I have to break it up.”

Conner Prairie Alliance donates $1 million By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com The Conner Prairie Apple Store celebrated its 30-year anniversary last year. While three decades is certainly worth celebrating, another announcement worth comfundraiser mending is the amount of money the store has helped raise for the museum. Run by the women’s volunteer group Conner Prairie Alliance, the store raised more than $1 million since it was founded in 1985. “It feels fantastic,” said Marcilynn Keyes, CPA president. “There were a lot of women who were involved in reaching that milestone over the years.” Keyes said with raising between $65,000 to $85,000 on average each year, the store was likely to surpass $1 million. Last year alone, the store raised approximately $85,000. “Looking at the numbers, it was obvious that it was this year that we were going to hit $1 million at the apple store and make our contribution to the museum as much as possible,” she said. Without expanding the store, Keyes said it manages to maintain and even increase its customers over the years.

“We have not expanded space,” she said. “I think it’s just that we have gotten a bigger reputation in the community, and we have a lot more regular customers. We have a lot of customers who I talked to when I worked in the store, and I would ask them had they ever been in the store before, and many people this year would say, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve been here every year, and I know what I want.’” With the CPA’s $1 million pledge to Conner Prairie completed, the funds will go toward a new exhibit. “This donation completed our pledge to the new tree-top outpost exhibit,” Keyes said. “Honestly, I am not certain what our next project will be at this point. That is something we’re still working out with the museum.”

Home sweet home Newtons’ Prairie Guest House provides alternative choice for travelers

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com John Newton likes to say he cut his teeth on hospitality with his first business, the Indy Hostel in Broad Ripple. The location, which Newton cover story bought in 2003 and opened in 2004, has the atmosphere of a hostel with the style of a bed and breakfast inn. “It took about six years because I’m kind of slow,” Newton said. “I figured it took more people than me to make it happen.” With the Indy Hostel going strong, Newton and his wife Karen began to look for another property to start a bed and breakfast and a yoga studio, as Karen is a long-time yoga instructor. A tip from a realtor’s wife led them to the site where the Frederick Talbott Inn had sat across the street from Conner Prairie in Fishers. The Inn had been closed for a couple of years. “We run into people all the time that say ‘I almost bought that place,’” Newton said. The Newtons bought the property, 13985 Allisonville Rd., in October of 2012 and, after fixing it up, reopened it as the Prairie Guest House in February 2013. “We live on-site, which is great, so we don’t have a big commute of any kind,” Newton said with a laugh. The Newtons live in the basement of the main house. Newton still goes to the hostel in Broad Ripple once or twice a week. “We have a competent staff that handles most everything,” he said. During the busy Conner Prairie Interactive History Park season, along with the Symphony on the Prairie schedule, the nine rooms of the Prairie Guest House are frequently filled. “We have wagons and they can take their blankets and coolers and haul it across the street,” Karen said. “Then they can come back, have a couple more drinks and spend the night.” There is a suite in the main house and a dining area. “In the winter, we aim toward business travelers and retreats,” Newton said. “With business travelers, we’re up

historical connection • Newton said the guest house was built in 1852 on property owned by Fabius Maximus Finch, a well-known judge. • Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd U.S. president, was one of the honorary pallbearers at Finch’s funeral in 1900. The Finch family was one of the first to settle the area. • Finch’s brother-in-law was William Conner, a fur trader and Indiana statesman who founded Hamilton Co. and county seat Noblesville. Conner’s house, nearly 200 years old, is on Conner Prairie property. • Finch’s former property was a working farm for many years. • The main house was built in 1907 and was originally down by the river near Conner Prairie. Agriculturally the property’s last use was as a horse farm.

against places like the Marriott where they get reward points. But sometimes they get burned out on that. Once they find out how relaxing and comfortable this is, and that it’s basically the same price and there’s great food, we tend to pull them in.” Newton does the cooking for the house’s breakfasts. “I’ve always enjoyed cooking, and there are enough tools out there to learn stuff,” Newton said. “After you’ve messed up eggs enough, you figure out eventually how to do them. It gets me out of bed early, which is good. I don’t stay out late and get in trouble.” Karen helps with the decorating, supervises the housekeeping and also teaches yoga at a studio on the property. “We split up our responsibilities,” said Newton, a Lawrence Central High School graduate who married Karen in 2009. “We work to our strengths, and then some of it is who draws the short straw.” For more, visit PrairieGuestHouse.com. The Prairie Guest House property includes the guest house with nine guest rooms, a cottage with the kitchen and dining areas, a yoga studio and barn that is being remodeled to host events. (Submitted photos)

New facility: The Prairie Guest House is set for a new addition as the Newtons will remodel the property’s barn into an events facility. The Fishers City Council recently approved the use of the barn for events. “We plan that it will be used for reunions, fundraisers, parties and weddings,” Newton said. The facility’s capacity is 120. Newton said the remodeling efforts should be finished by late summer and events can last until 10:30 p.m., but most will wrap up by 10 p.m. He said he plans to have a restaurant on the property, too, but isn’t sure where. “It’s going to be a farm-to-table style restaurant,” he said. “We’ll have a lot of locally sourced foods. We’re going to transform the whole property. Our neighbors have been great and have supported our proposals. We’re excited about it. It allows us to use the full potential of the property.”

Annoyance provides good laughs

FR O M   T HE BA C K SH O P These scammers need to go … now!

There always are scams in our midst, engineered by (a) greedy people with far too much time on their hands that believe they are more sophisticated than they actually might be, (b) outright criminals or (c) both of the aforementioned. Too often they succeed, frequently with older, unsuspecting adults. They love calling landlines, but now they’re branching out to cell lines. And so it has gone the last month or so with one such attempted swindle that failed miserably – if you discount the fact that it elicited fear, anger and utter outrage from some targets we know. It went like this, and we assume it’s still going like this: Someone calls and says there was a warrant for one’s arrest and that a lawsuit was being prepared by the Internal Revenue Service (we have to believe for “unpaid taxes.” The IRS itself would contact you and, we assume, would be far more professional.). This is tantamount to proffering the Brooklyn Bridge or “land” in south-central Florida for sale. In some cases, it’s an automated dialing system instructing the theoretical defendant to call back. Someone we know did that; she called back and played along. She told the cretin on the other end of the line that she would meet the caller at his office to rectify the situation, whereupon the guy disconnected. The fact is, folks, there was no office.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

President and accounted for Commentary by Terry Anker There was a time, not that long ago, that every young person imagined that they might become President of the United States. Well, to be fair, many of those same kids hoped that if they ate their spinach that they might become Popeye. Nevertheless, we were taught from the earliest school days to aspire to the vaunted and esteemed office. Sure, a few struggled to conceive of themselves breaking free from their own real or constructed limitations. But generally, it was a time of great expectations. Decades later, one wonders if my kindly, nonetheless quite elderly first grade teacher, Mrs. Nichols, honestly expected one of her class of mostly poor farm kids to make the jump to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Yet, she made us believe not only that we could but that we should. Today, we are more, as some might argue, evolved. We’re highly cynical – less wide-eyed in our optimism. However, some continue to promote a message of aspiration. Our best years remain ahead of us!

The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is now accepting applications for the Future Presidents of America Youth Leadership Camp in late June. Touted as “a fun and innovative one-week summer camp for smart, engaged young adults (12-16) that builds individual confidence, civic literacy and good citizenship,” it interactively tells the story of a local boy who made good but also inspires its attendees to imagine how they might make the journey to the White House. In these months of name calling and assuredly sophomoric behavior from our political elites, one can fully understand why no good parent would encourage their sweet progeny to seek a role in the sausage factory. But, can we imagine a world without a willing and participatory democracy? Any student of history will exclaim – yes, we can imagine and it isn’t pretty.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EE K Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. – John Wooden

I’m annoyed, but maybe you can have a good laugh. My husband Doo came down earlier than usual this mornhumor ing, turned on all the lights and sat at the kitchen counter to go through bills. He even tried talking to me. What’s going on? Doesn’t he understand I have a routine, a ritual? A 45-minute plan that includes 90 percent darkness and 100 percent silence? That to have the day thrust upon me at 6:30 a.m., when I haven’t even had coffee, is grounds for stink eye and possibly a full-on conniption? Clearly he does not. When I asked him to return the room to peaceful blackness he said, “Are you kidding me?” and then proceeded to tear open an envelope. In a huff, I packed up and left. At least I could reach my quiet classroom with a few minutes to spare before being bombarded by hundreds of teenagers and oddly, a toilet bowl cleaner. (Is someone sending me a message? “Swim with the turds, Wilson!”) Last night, we had a similar “incident.” I’d already turned back into a pumpkin and was literally trying to sleep (eyes closed, blanket tucked), but Doo was in the midst of a fashion show. (Yes, a fashion show. He wanted to parade his new clothes for my approval.) His stuff was strewn all over the room, including the bed, and he kept walking in and out of the bathroom. “How do these jeans look?” “Does this shirt wash me out?” I admit to enjoying his production, but seriously, I just wanted to sleep. I expressed my fatigue and begged him to call it quits, but I came off sounding naggy, even to myself. Bottom line, my husband’s a classic extravert and wants noise and light and stimulus at every hour, while I require the opposite. And there’s nothing I can do except vent to you about our marital trials, however banal. So here we are, back to my annoyance over my beautifully-crafted morning and evening routines being fire-bombed by a handsome bald-guy in a new sweater-vest. It’s okay. Go ahead and chuckle. Peace out.

Underground activities Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I was looking for a magazine to take on the plane to pass the time on our two-hour flight to Houston. I chose a publication humor called “Archaeology,” intrigued by the cover that proclaimed “The Top Archeological Discoveries in 2015.” I figured if any magazine could dig up some cool stuff this would be the one. The first story is about hikers in South Africa who called the local police, reporting they had found some “transitional hominid remains.” I think it is a good bet they simply called and said, “Hey, we found some dead guy,” but the magazine needed to class things up a bit for their brainy readership. In Kenya, a research team claims to have unearthed tools dating back to the dawn of man. Most of the implements were large rocks fashioned into hammering devices, as well as a few arrowheads. However, scientists were baffled by the Phillips-head screwdriver they found, because it predates the Phillips-head screw by about three million years. Archeologist Silvia Windauer claims to have uncovered the world’s oldest pretzel, originally baked about 400 years ago. “It was rock hard,

tasteless and inedible,” said the professor, which is pretty much what you also say about a four-day-old pretzel. Wait: did she really taste it? By the way, the scientists also found the remains of dozens of discarded, uneaten rolls in what looked like an ancient trash bin, speculating the baker simply overestimated what he needed that day and chucked the extra. Legend has it that the chef later migrated to Italy where he invented the idea of unlimited breadsticks. What was the first musical instrument? No one is really sure, but apparently something that sounded like a kazoo was once uncovered in some ruins in Portugal. The item was next to a Neanderthal man, but his body was isolated some 50 miles from the rest of his tribe. Scientists are not sure why this man was left alone to die. I have a pretty good idea.

Looking back on 2015 Commentary by Larry Lannan With 2015 having drawn to a close, how has Fishers fared in its first year opinion as a city? In my view, the city form of government suits us just fine. When the issue was debated in the 2012 ballot initiative, voters were faced with a decision – should Fishers remain a town, a reorganized city with a ceremonial mayor and an appointed city manager, or a city with a strong mayor’s office (as are most Indiana cities)? Although the wording of the referendum ballot was confusing, voters were clear in their decision, approving a strong mayor’s office by a wide margin. Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness won the Republican primary for mayor in May of 2014, defeating five opponents. He has been unopposed in every election since that primary. After observing the switch from a town to a city, it is clear to me having a mayor speaking on behalf of local government, with the authority of his office, has helped Fishers in its economic development efforts. The record speaks for itself.

Not everyone in Fishers is excited about the new commercial activity planned. There are many long-time Fishers residents unhappy with new projects, such as the 106th Street interchange at I-69. A major challenge for the city will be finding ways to ease the pain of economic growth for these people. What will we see in 2016? The Hamilton Southeastern Schools will conduct a referendum asking voters to fund local education. The push for economic development will continue. Construction adding an additional lane in each direction of I-69 will begin. Then there will be the usual local road construction projects. Fishers will continue to grow, edging toward a population number of 90,000. Growth brings with it pain along with any gain. As I look back on 2015, I have reached one important conclusion. The voters were right in approving a city form of government in the 2012 referendum.

Actress Stark is back in the habit in ‘Sister Act’ at Beef & Boards By Zach Dunkin • news@currentinfishers.com

She flew through the air and refused to grow up in “Peter Pan,” did what comes natur’lly in “Annie Get your Gun” and looked “swell” in “Hello, Dolly.” theater Now, after sharing a few of her “favorite things” with Maria as Mother Abbess in “The Sound of Music,” longtime Beef & Boards favorite Suzanne Stark slips on the nun’s habit again as Mother Superior in “Sister Act,” Feb. 11 through March 26 at the northwest Indy dinner theater. “I enjoy playing a nun partly because we know what her religious position is and, therefore, I can make deliberate acting choices based on that,” said Stark, a former 20-year Carmel resident who now resides on Indy’s north side. “I loved playing Mother Abbess, but making Mother Superior multi-dimensional will be the challenge, especially given the short amount of time she will be in front of the audience and what her ‘role’ is in the moving the story along. “Right now I am not clear yet ‘who’ Mother Superior is, especially since this is the first time I’ve played this role. However, the script is definitely giving me clues. At the outset, I think I can say she is more a bit more rigid than the Mother Abbess. Is it possible that Mother Superior will learn just as much as Deloris does in the course of the show? I think we can count on it.” The “Deloris” Stark is referring to is Deloris Van Cartier, a ’60s disco diva in a witness protection program at a convent in the St. Katherine’s Parish. As a witness to a murder by her mobster boyfriend, her life is in danger. Despite her and Mother Superior’s objections, she “becomes” a nun – habit and all – and is given the name Sister Mary Clarence. Using her song and dance talents, Deloris inspires a choir of nuns to create new energy in the church and community. Nominated for five Tony Awards including Best Musical, the stage production was inspired by 1992 film of the same name,

Suzanne Stark in ‘Sister Act.’ (Submitted photo)

starring Whoopi Goldberg as Sister Mary Clarence and twotime Oscar winner Maggie Smith as Mother Superior. “I adore Maggie Smith,” said Stark of the British actress, who, at age 81, is one of the stars of television’s “Downton Abbey,” “I think she is brilliant, and there is no one like her. I keep thinking of her as I work through the script even though the stage musical is different from the movie. If I could only do what she does … alas, no one can.” This is the first time “Sister Act” is being done at Beef &

Boards. Director Doug Stark, who also has a small role in the show as the Monsignor, says the show transcends to the stage very well. “Some of the people who know only the movie will be very pleased with how this looks on stage,” said Doug, Suzanne’s former husband. “The flavor is exactly the same, and the characters are very close to the same.” However, the stage production uses music Stark differently than the movie did. Songs in the movie don’t replace dialogue the way they do in the stage musical where the numbers move the plot along. Some of the songs are used to illustrate character purpose, struggle or thought process and often result in action or are the action itself. The joyous, movie-ending “I Will Follow Him” isn’t in the stage version, but Doug said there are some very high octane numbers that will replace it.” Heading the cast of nuns and playing Sister Mary Clarence is Zuri Washington, who stood out among the 200 Doug auditioned in New York. Washington recently starred in the national tour of “Memphis, the Musical” as Felicia. Other credits include “Bring It On: The Musical,” “Rent,” “M33” and Jim Steinman’s Washington “Bat Out of Hell.” “This young lady just knocked my socks off,” Doug said. “She’s just part of a great group of nuns who are going to rock the house and bring the walls down.”

TOmato Basil Soup

Braised beef chowder

Being in the throes of winter, there isn’t anything much more comforting than sitting in a warm winter restaurant to get out of those winter winds and enjoying a nice, steaming bowl of soup. I made it my mission to tour Hamilton Co. and search for the best, soul-warming soups offered by local restaurants.

Tomato Artichoke soup Tomato artichoke soup from Café Patachou in Carmel. Get it at Café Patachou, Carmel When I wandered in Café Patachou in Clay Terrace on the morn of New Year’s Day, soup was the last thing on my mind. As you would expect, I was yearning for some greasy breakfast food to start the year off right. Yet when I learned the French café served a thick tomato soup with artichokes – of all things to pair it with – I had to try it. There was absolutely no absence of parmesan cheese or croutons to add a little crunch to the thick soup, and the thin strips of artichoke were not too overbearing and added a unique touch. Must I say, it was the perfect breakfast. Bon appétit.

Clam chowder from Langton’s in Carmel. (Photos by Anna Skinner)

Tomato basil soup from Rosie’s Place in Noblesville.

Get it at Langton’s, Carmel First up is Langton’s clam chowder. The chowder was served piping hot and there was no often common problem of too much potato and not enough clams. The chowder was dense and heavy enough to be a meal if so decided. Not only was the soup phenomenal, but the option of ordering it in a rosemary bread bowl made in house awarded this the perfect winter choice. The bowl had a nice, baked crust on the exterior, with plenty of airy bread on the inside to absorb the chowder.

Get it at Rosie’s Place, Noblesville Being winter, tomato soup is a favorite of cold and sleepy people. Rosie’s Place offers a variety of homemade soups each day. The day I happened to wander in, their soup of the day was tomato basil. The soup was the perfect blend between thin and thick with just the right portion of tomato chunks. I slurped it down without waiting for the steam to abide, it was that good. Their soups do differ daily, so call the café at 770-3322 to clarify what the soup of the day is.

Get it at Rail Epicurean Market, Westfield I had never heard of braised beef chowder, and was not exactly sure what to expect, but I knew the Rail wouldn’t let me down. They offer unique and tasty soups all the time, and the beef chowder was no exception. The creaminess of the soup was perfect for the chilly day, and the beef practically melted in my mouth. The chives on the top were a nice, colorful touch. The menu changes daily, so be sure to check out their Facebook page, and learn what they will be offering so you’re not surprised.

Semi-homemade Super Bowl Food

Starting Feb. 10th!

By Joe Drozda and Bob Bley The most copied item on today’s restaurant menus is the slider. It seems like even upscale eateries offer some kind of slider. So let’s talk about making the most famous slider of all, the hamburger, right at home in your kitchen. You can do it, and guests will enjoy them during your Super Bowl party. Hamburger Sliders Ingredients: • 1 lb. ground beef (80 percent lean) • 12 slider buns • 2 cups diced onion • Dill pickle chips • Salt and pepper • French’s Brown Mustard Preparation: At least an hour ahead, place the diced onions in a bowl, cover them with water, cover it and let them sit until needed. Use a pencil and ruler to line a sheet of parchment paper into a dozen three inch squares. Place the ground beef onto the parchment paper and take a second sheet and cover the meat. Roll the meat with a rolling pin to 1/4 inch thickness. You’ll need to trim the edges each time to put the excess meat back onto the top of the first layer. Using a large knife, cut the meat into squares that match the pencil lines. Place the meat, with parchment, onto a cookie sheet and place it into the freezer for 25-30 minutes. Take the meat out and punch five holes into each piece with the large end of a

chopstick or drinking straw. Place the punched patties on parchment back into the freezer for one hour or until frozen. On a griddle or large frying pan spoon out the water soaked onions and heat them until slightly crispy. Remove the meat from the freezer and break off the patties. Place the patties on the onions and cook five to seven minutes. Salt and pepper the meat slightly. Separate the buns and place the bottom of the slider buns face down on top of the patties and then place the bun tops face down atop of the bottoms. The onion and steam will cook the patties so that you can use a spatula to pick up a burger, turn it over and place the top onto the onion side. Plate these sliders and add a pickle and mustard to each.

Mezza Mediterranean Grille serving up authentic experience By Michelle Williams news@currentinfishers.com Restaurant owner Charles Saad was looking for the “best place restaurants in Indiana” to open his first Mediterranean restaurant, and he landed in Fishers. Mezza Mediterranean Grille opened its doors to hungry patrons Dec. 1, filling the vacancy at 9773 E. 116th St. near Cumberland Road. “When people ask where the food is from, I tell them it’s Turkish and Greek, with a great influence upon Lebanese cuisine,” Saad said. The menu features customary Mediterranean fare including hummus, grape leaves stuffed with beef, tabbouli, kafta and a variety of grilled meat kabobs. Visitors can finish a meal with a pot of Arabic tea, traditional Turkish coffee or a light and crispy baklava. To accentuate the importance of bread in the Mediterranean culture, the wall prominently displays the inscription, “Bread is the staple of life.” Pita bread is made fresh and baked in the restaurant’s pita bread oven, which sits among guests in the dining room.

“As far as I know, I don’t think anyone else in Indiana is doing fresh pita bread straight out of the dining room,” Saad said. “I want my guests to take home food,” he added, noting that portion sizes are intentionally large. Saad especially recommends the party platters, designed for six to 15 people to share. “It’s all included — appetizers, grilled meats, salads. They come out on gigantic platters that are flame lit,” he said. “Every customer walks in as an honored guest. They’re sitting at our table and eating our food as though they were sitting in our house. That’s the way we treat them,” Saad said. “We believe in 100 percent guest satisfaction.”

Pita Pit opens in Fishers By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com As of Jan. 25, health-conscious Fishers residents have another Business casual dining option. Pita Pit has opened at 8935 E. 116th St. in the Fishers Town Center next to McAlister’s Deli. Owner Addison Lusby currently owns another Pita Pit location at 86th and Michigan and the choice of Fishers for his second location was an easy one. “We have a lot of family that live in the area. Fishers is a growing population,” Lusby said. “There are a lot of younger families. We felt like it was a good fit with the market. Plus, we really like the city. We live in New Palestine, but it seems like we know a lot of people who already live in Fishers or are moving out there.” A Carmel location was considered, but the idea was quickly scrapped. “My wife and I went back and forth on the Carmel location because my other location delivers a lot there anyway,” Lusby said. “Ultimately, with the construction, we decided Fishers was a better idea. We will go into Carmel next in about a year or so.” Pita Pit is a casual dining restaurant with

a focus on healthy food. Guests can build their own pita bread sandwiches or choose from a variety of menu options. “Obviously, we’re a really healthy concept,” Lusby said. “We use all-natural chicken. We provide calorie counts on our boards. We use whole muscle turkey. We have actual meats instead of pressed products like other places.” Guests can order online via PitaPitUSA. com or through the Pita Pit smart phone app. The Fishers location will deliver up to 2 1/2 miles away for a flat $2 fee and offers catering as well. The restaurant will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: PROPERTY DIVISION In Indiana, courts divide a divorcing parties’ property in a manner which is deemed to be fair and reasonable. Indiana law follows the “one-pot” theory for the division of marital property, which presumes all marital property is put into one pot and that a fifty-fifty (50/50) division of all marital assets and liabilities is presumed to be fair and reasonable. However, there are various factors Courts consider in determining whether or not a deviation from the equal division is warranted, including: the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of property; the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time of the disposition of the property; the conduct of the parties during the marriage as related to disposition or dissipation of their property; and the earning ability of the parties. Thus, while an equal division is presumed, one party can request more than fifty percent of the marital estate. What is Marital Property? It is important for parties to understand what is considered marital property as many people believe certain assets or accounts remain separate from the estate. This is incorrect per the current case law. Absent a prenuptial agreement, excluding certain property from becoming part of the marital estate, Indiana law presumes that all assets and debt brought into or acquired during the marriage is marital property and is subject to division by the Court. With that starting point, careful review of the facts and understanding of the law can allow for a persuasive argument that certain property or liabilities should be allotted to one party in the division of the estate as a

deviation. Such a determination is very contextual and seeking legal advice is recommended to determine if such a request is supported by the facts of a given case. Each case is unique and the decision to order an unequal division of property is left to the discretion of the Court. Further, it is important to note that property which is acquired after the date of the filing of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage may be considered property which is separate from the marital estate; however, this is not always true, so, again, proper evaluation of the marital estate is crucial to understand options and maximize results. Agreed division of the marital estate requires the work of the parties and counsel to reach equitable results. A preferable option to arguing division before the court is to come to terms via negotiation and/or mediation on a settlement that reflects the nature of the marital estate, the needs of the parties, and allows for a result that has benefits for both sides. In addition, this analysis best incorporates advice from financial planners to determine a division which will have the fewest tax consequences or negative implications on the estate.

Home sales up 8 percent Commentary by Jim Litten The year finished on a high note, with 2015 showing an 8 percent real estate increase in pended home sales over 2014 in the nine-county central Indiana region. It was a strong year for sellers, as sale prices increased each month while available homes decreased during 11 months in 2015 when compared to 2014. December 2015 also saw growth in pended sales and average sales prices by 0.6 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively. Hamilton County’s inventory declined 8.1 percent while the average year-to-date sales price for homes in the county climbed 3.9 percent to $278,163. • In Fishers/Geist, the average year-todate home sales price increased 2.3 percent compared to this time last year, rising to $265,568. • Inventory moved at a slightly faster pace in Fishers/Geist in December 2015. Overall, homes sold in 73 days – four fewer days than this time last year. • Buyers in Fishers/Geist had fewer options available to them. Last month, 401 homes were available for sale – 68 fewer homes

compared to December 2014. • Pended home sales decreased in Fishers/ Geist. In December 2015, 95 homes sold –23 fewer homes compared to December 2014. • Of the pended home sales in Fishers/ Geist last month, eight were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 19 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 23 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 40 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and five were priced at $99,999 or less. 2015 was marked by modest growth, but the nine-county central Indiana region has performed as well as and, in some respects, better than the national trends in home sales. We expect 2016 to emulate last year, as interest rates and affordability affect the industry. However, we’re optimistic that homeownership is still appealing to the majority of millennials, as reported by the National Association of Realtors, which indicates 94 percent of current renters younger than 35 want to buy a home.

The next deadline to submit an essay is Feb. 15. To submit your 100-word essay about your favorite teacher, email it to Teacher@youarecurrent.com.

Tracy Miller considers it a gift. The 2016 WTHR-13 Home of Distinction, presented by philanthropy MAWR+Design, will benefit IU Health North’s breast cancer program, which provides patient and family support services to those undergoing care and in survivorship. “This is the first time we have been a charity partner,” said Miller, director of philanthropy for IU Health North, Saxony and Tipton hospitals. “As a charity partner, we have a great opportunity to promote the event, and we staff the house and the parking lot shuttle. We provide the transportation and the workers at the home tour. As a result of that, every ticket we will see, 100 percent, goes to our charity. It’s tax deductible.” The tour benefits a different charity each year. The home owners who are building the new home selected the breast cancer program as the charity to honor someone special in their lives, Miller said. This year’s home is on the golf course of The Bridgewater Club in Carmel. The 11,000-square-foot home features an interior golf simulator, home theater, state-

The word of the year is

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Western society has either begun its transcendence into a new digital age, or its descent into madness. grammar guy I can’t tell. Either way, in 1,000 years linguists will look back to now and identify 2015’s “Word of the Year” as the harbinger of what was to come. Proving, perhaps, that a picture really is worth a thousand words, Oxford Dictionaries has chosen for the first time ever a pictograph as “Word of the Year.” Those are their words, and they gussy things up a bit. What they chose was an emoji – specifically the laughing-so-hard-I’m-crying “Face with Tears of Joy” emoji. (Refer to the nearest 14-year-old if you’re unfamiliar.) According to Oxford Dictionaries and mobile technology business SwiftKey, the “Face with Tears of Joy” emoji made up 20 percent of all the emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the U.S. They note it’s also seen heavy use from celebrities and brands and made an appearance on the Vine that kicked off the “on fleek” meme … which I just hate. Here’s Oxford’s reasoning in their own words:

“Emojis are no longer the preserve of texting teens – instead, they have been embraced as a nuanced form of expression, and one which can cross language barriers. Even Hillary Clinton solicited feedback in the form of emojis, and (Face with Tears of Joy) has had notable use from celebrities and brands alongside everyone else – and even appeared as the caption to the Vine which apparently kicked off the popularity of the term ‘on fleek,’ which appears on our WOTY shortlist.” Before you lose all hope, the American Dialect Society chose singular “they” as their word of the year. That’s an excellent choice, and one that deserves (and will get) its own column. For my two cents, the word of the year, at least for Indiana, was “impinge” – as used, likely more than ever prior in the history of the word, by Gov. Mike Pence during the RFRA debate. Are you OK with an emoji being the “Word of the Year?” Do you think there was a better choice? Let me know.

Pella and the end of time

Commentary by Don Knebel

Pella, Jordan, is one of the oldest urban settlements in the world. Its history is linked with a prophecy of Jesus that travel figures into speculation about the end of time. About 10,000 years ago, Stone Age farmers established a permanent village in the fertile lands in the eastern foothills of the Jordan River Valley. By 1800 B.C., the village had become a city called “Pihilum,” featuring an important Canaanite temple. The Greeks captured Pihilum in the third century B.C. and renamed it “Pella,” honoring the birthplace of Alexander the Great. When the Romans captured the area in 63 B.C., they made Pella one of the 10 self-governing cities of the Decapolis, adding the temples, theaters, baths and colonnaded streets typical of major Roman cities. In 70 A.D., four Roman legions sent to Jerusalem to put down the First Jewish Revolt entered the city after an extended siege, killed up to a million residents and demolished the Second Temple. In the fourth century, Eusebius and other historians reported. Christian inhabitants of Jerusalem had been warned of the impending devastation by a “revelation” and escaped to Pella, about 50 miles north-

east. Many scholars associate this account with the statements of Jesus, reported in the “Gospel of Luke,” predicting the destruction of the temple and warning his followers to “flee to the mountains” when they see “Jerusalem being surrounded by armies.” Despite the first century context of Jesus’ statements, some believe they presage events at the end of time and await their own cues to flee to the mountains. Pella was destroyed by an earthquake in 749 and its history largely forgotten. But the

story of the early Christians’ flight to Pella was remembered by 800 freedom-seeking Dutch immigrants who settled in southern Iowa in 1847 and named their new town after that ancient refuge.
