“A new life together!”

—Residents, Ed Solinksi & Lori Mansel

Century award nominations – The state of Indiana is accepting nominations for the Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Awards, which honor Hoosier businesses that have remained in operation for at least 100 or 50 years, respectively, and have demonstrated a commitment to serving the community. Applications are due by Feb. 16. Visit iedc.in.gov for more information or to apply.

Credit card rewards – Most credit cards carry some sort of rewards these days. Beware, though, of those that offer a higher than usual cash-back reward of 5 percent or more. Cards that offer that much cash back usually do so only with purchases in certain spending categories and usually up to a preset limit. Even worse, these categories change periodically so it’s difficult to track. Be sure you understand all the terms before signing up.

Avoid these costly home remodels – When making improvements to your home, there are some changes that experts recommend you avoid. Such changes can lower your home’s value. One of the biggest mistakes is eliminating a bedroom by expanding another room, such as a master bedroom, into the existing bedroom. Another big mistake is to convert a garage into living space. A house without a garage is more difficult to sell.

Also worth looking into are the American Seniors Association (AmericanSeniors.org), or the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC.us). Companies that offer AARP discounts may offer the same discounts to members of these associations when asked.

Council approves new vaping ordinance

By Noah Alatza • news@currentinfishers.com The Fishers City Council voted unanimously at its Jan.16 meeting to approve a new code that treats vaping the same as tobacco products.

“The new language that was approved, added e-cigarettes and other vaping devices,” Fishers city councilor Eric Moeller said.

“This only impacts city-owned city news property, like government buildings, parks and playgrounds.”

Cigarettes on average kill more than 480,000 Americans each year, costing more than $300 billion in medical care and lost productivity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. E-cigarettes are sometimes seen as a the safer alternative, but Fishers’ previous ordinance did not specifically outline the differences between products.

The previous ordinance prohibited tobacco smoking in public places, including Moeller parks, and was specific to what constituted smoking, according to Moeller.

Tony Elliot, the city’s director of parks and recreation, told council members the new ordinance will bring the rules more in-line with Hamilton Southeastern Schools, where use of electronic cigarette juuls has increased.

“The updated language will provide consistency across city parks, Hamilton Southeastern School sports fields and the HSE Sports Organization,” Moeller said. “There are an increasing number of studies that indicate e-cigarettes aren’t the safe alternative to conventional cigarettes.”

Moeller said it’s unfortunate that more middle and high school students are trying e-cigarettes. He said the added language will ensure everyone is on the same page.

“It should have a relatively minor impact on individuals that use e-cigarettes,” Moeller said. “The primary objective is to have a policy that is consistent with HSE Schools and promote a safe and healthy experience for residents, especially in city parks.”

The ordinance takes effect immediately.

Graduate profile: Kevin Sopoci

By Desiree Williams • news@currentinfishers.com Kevin Sopoci is a 2010 graduate of Fishers High School. He attended Purdue University and graduated in 2014 with a degree in movement and sports science.

Sopoci, 25, is an assistant golf professional at StonyCreek Golf Club.

education

Q: Do you remember your most influential high school class or teacher?

A: I wrote for the newspaper in high school, so probably my newspaper class. I made a lot of good friends in that class as well as it taught me some time-management skills that were pretty vital throughout my college career as well.

Q: Is there anything that you miss about high school?

A: Probably the biggest thing I miss is playing in competitive sports, so playing hockey and playing golf. The excitement and the camaraderie from being on a team, I think that was awesome. You can play team sports as an adult, but I’m very recreational at this point, so nothing organized.

fessional Golf Management Program?

A: Right now, I’m a Level 3 PGA apprentice.

It’s an apprenticeship program, so as long as you are working at a golf club and you are working under a PGA member, you take classes, you go down to Florida, you go to seminars and you pass tests online. The most important thing you learn is how to run your own business. The way golf is now, it’s not giving golf lessons all the time. It’s like any other business. It’s about managing employees, customer service skills and trying to get more people to play at your golf course.

Q: What is your end goal?

A: I’m an assistant golf professional right now, and my next goal would be to be a head golf professional and start some of my own player development golf programs.

I like working with high school or younger, so working with kids. That’s where I find the most enjoyment out of teaching golf.

Q: Is there anything else you want to add?

A: Me and my dad run a business, and it’s based out of Fishers. That’s called The Q: What did BrewsLine. That you pursue company is a after college craft beer tour graduation? bus.

The building, constructed by Thompson Thrift, will feature two levels where attendees can taste beer and spirits, which will be produced at Sun King’s new distillery in Carmel. The brewery will feature a 3,000-square-foot rooftop patio and family friendly areas.

Ashlee Boyd, managing partner for Thompson Thrift, said the building will cost approximately $1.5 million. Furnishings and finishing touches will add on to the expense.

Three years ago, Sun King moved into its current location at 7848 E. 96th St. Since then, co-founder Clay Robinson said he and his team have been in communication with Thompson Thrift and the City of Fishers regarding expansion possibilities. Sun King’s small-batch taproom insprired those conversations.

“The small-batch taproom for us has been something that allowed us to create a presence in Fishers and see what the market was like up here and see if people were excited about Sun King, which fortunately the answer was yes,” Robinson said. “More than anything, the way we had to change our business plans allowed us to create this small-batch brewing program and drive innovation on the side of brewing. And over the past few years, we’ve continued to talk

and work with Thompson Thrift and the City of Fishers and Mayor (Scott) Fadness and look at what our opportunities would be here.”

One opportunity is joining the list of offerings at The Yard.

“We believe in your entrepreneurial spirit and your vision, and they were committed then and they’ve remained committed,”

Fadness said of Sun King. “They’re part of this vibrancy in, frankly, central Indiana that has done untold good things in terms of creating that ‘in’ factor to Indianapolis as well as Fishers.”

“We knew this was in a great location and it could be something truly unique to the community,” Boyd said.

The Yard is expected to break ground this year and open in 2019. The plan is to open it all as one entity instead of in phases.

Two other recently announced additions to The Yard are St. Elmo Steak House spinoffs Burger Study and the 1933 Lounge.

The Yard. Sun King will lease it for at least 10 years.

“It’s a long-term partnership,” Robinson said.

“We are very excited to have Sun King. I could not think of a better anchor to activate The Yard area,” Boyd said.

Boyd also said Thompson Thrift, the City of Fishers and Sun King will work together to plan events at The Yard throughout the year, such as an Oktoberfest.

“We can really activate the project and create something really unique for the community,” Boyd said.

Sun King co-founder Dave Colt said the new brewery will facilitate product expansion.

“What we have today is a cute little 3 1/2-barrel brewhouse, and it’s really given us the opportunity to develop and create new recipes and also be a creative outlet for our folks,” Colt said. “So, we are going to take that and multiply it so we can produce more award-winning craft beer from all of our outlets.”

Bringing creativity to Sun King According to Sun King co-owner Clay Robinson, all the furniture in the brewery’s taproom was built by the Sun King team. The tables are repurposed from a bowling alley, and barn wood is utilized in the furnishings. Robinson said Sun King’s brewery at The Yard will continue with that creative trend.

“We actually have a local partner who has several barns we are about to dismantle this spring, so we have the ability to use a lot of reclaimed materials in building all of our furnishings, not only for Fishers but for our Carmel distillery,” Robinson said. “We are really taking this as a hands-on, really creative project from the ground up.”

Shifting rules

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker In 1735, U.S. founding-era publisher Benjamin Franklin is quoted as having said in “Poor Richard’s Almanac,”: “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” By 1920, another American, Pulitzer-prize winner Carl Sandburg, took the adage to task, asserting, “Early to bed and early to rise and you never meet any prominent people.” One could assume his assertion is rooted in some evolved knowledge that only a fool would get up and work hard to find success.

There is always someone eager to give us cover for our choices. No matter the habit, vice or proclivity, there is an internet troll eager to reinforce the alternative position. Even as we destroy the existing foundations of our civil order, how does a reasonable person sift through the rubble?

Sure, we’re cool. Right? Stay up late. Sleep in. Miss school, if you’d like. Who cares?

Rules are meant to be broken. While we might argue that the world has moved in a direction where pajama pants are acceptable office attire, does this trend mean that people won’t work for a company with a dress code? Perhaps. But likewise, might said company attract those who are comfortable in trousers sporting something other than an elastic waistband? Maybe we should ask why we have offices at all. Can’t we just work from bed? Slippers are comfy.

Ours is an age of shifting standards. We challenge each basic rule as a pointless tradition. In an attempt to achieve laudable pluralism, we accept all ideologies as equivalent. But, is every approach to living deserving of equal standing, or do some achieve empirically better outcomes?

READER ’ S VIEW Let’s build a truly regional transit system Editor, As we revel in the news that Indy is one of 20 finalists for Amazon’s HQ2, let’s take a moment to consider one thought: Had the request for bids come out a few years ago, we probably wouldn’t have made the cut.

One of the requirements Amazon stipulated is direct access to mass transit, such as rail, subway or bus lines. The system we’ve had for decades – and still have today – wouldn’t qualify, but, fortunately, progress is under way thanks to Marion County voters, who approved a tax increase in 2016 that’s allowing the Marion County Transit Plan to be implemented. Nearly 50 miles of bus rapid transit on three lines and 70 percent more local bus service will dramatically improve Marion County’s public transit system. Route improvements, including greater frequencies, start next month.

Making Amazon’s Top 20 shows that

this progress is already having an impact, but we cannot let up. We still have a long way to go to have a truly regional transit system. As it stands now, only Marion County has embraced the transit plan. To continue to compete for projects like Amazon’s, we need a regional system – we need to make sure that discussions about expanding transit in surrounding counties bear fruit.

The good news is that the bid for Amazon has caused many people in this area to recognize how critical mass transit is to our region’s economic future. Now that we’ve got people’s attention, let’s show them how committed we are to competing for the biggest economic opportunities by building out the vision of a truly regional, 21st-century transit system.

I recently celebrated another birthday, the big four-six. No party or hoopla, but I did have several moments humor where I certainly felt the love.

My actual birthday fell on Friday, which meant the usual early morning carpool, work and then a Meijer run.

But when I finally got home, my family had taken to heart my one present request, to have the house clean. True, as soon as I left, the main floor disaster reigned, but the kitchen was dish-free and the living room smelled of lemon instead of dog poop, so I took it. They do love me!

Saturday I carved out two hours between color guard drop-off and dance pickup to spend some birthday cash at DSW before heading out to dinner with Doo and my siblings-in-law. And even though the restaurant ended up being a seafood place (which made ordering challenging since I vowed long ago never to eat ocean fish while in a land-locked state) and one SIL confirmed on the way home that she has a severe allergy to shellfish (a side street off Keystone, a stretch of U.S. 31, and our toilet will never be the same), it was a fun evening. Plus, I scored a free dessert!

My weekend culminated in a college basketball game in Kentucky. I’ll admit to shedding a few tears as I drove down through dreary fog alone (my youngest became ill and had to bail), but I scrounged up a lastminute date and enjoyed both the hot dogs and the win.

Not the typical celebratory weekend, but if this birthday is any indication of the year ahead, 46 will be a good one. Peace out.

Toying with a Fortville museum Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Phyllis Baskerville passed away peacefully this past week. In my 35 years on Channel 8, she may have been humor my favorite guest. She was not someone to be toyed with—or she was the perfect person to toy with. You decide.

I met Phyllis in 2002 after doing a live TV segment in Fortville. As I headed for my car, the spunky 75-year-old woman in her pickup truck approached me and asked me to follow her home.

Minutes later we arrived at a Pentecostal church. Entering the sanctuary was heavenly. Taking up every bit of available space were thousands of classic toys, all in mint condition, and many in the original boxes.

Memories flooded back as I saw board games, wind-up toys, lunchboxes and dolls I had not seen in 50 years.

When Phyllis’s husband developed Alzheimer’s, Phyllis was overwhelmed, as many caregivers are.

“I went to a support group meeting, but that wasn’t for me,” Phyllis said. “I didn’t need someone else’s problems. I needed something else.”

That something else began with a few dolls she had, which mushroomed into so many toys that they filled several rooms.

When her husband’s condition worsened, they moved from Florida to Indy to be close to her daughters.

That’s when she decided to open a museum.

Phyllis purchased the then-vacant Fortville church and continued to hunt for toys, assisted by her daughters who religiously took Phyllis to garage sales, antique shows and consignment shops.

Her museum’s normal tour lasted 90 minutes, with Phyllis pointing out her favorites.

“See that O.J. Simpson board game? See that Gund doll?” she said. “You’ll never see anything like that again.”

She often interrupted herself to demonstrate a punching nun or to set in motion Robby the Robot.

The museum is closed, and the future of Dolly Mama’s is still to be determined.

Dispatches Avoid these costly home remodels — When making improvements to your home, there are some changes that experts recommend you avoid. Such changes can lower your home’s value. One of the biggest mistakes is eliminating a bedroom by expanding another room, such as a master bedroom, into the existing bedroom. Another big mistake is to convert a garage into living space. A house without a garage is more difficult to sell.

Credit card rewards – Most credit cards carry some sort of rewards these days. Beware, though, of those that offer a higher than usual cash-back reward of 5 percent or more. Cards that offer that much cash back usually do so only with purchases in certain spending categories and usually up to a preset limit. Even worse, these categories change periodically so it’s difficult to track. Be sure you understand all the terms before signing up.

Austen fan embraces role

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com Emily Bohn is a huge fan of Jane Austen literature. So much so that portraying a character from an Austen novel has been a lifelong ambition. theater Finally, she’s getting the chance to fulfill it.

Bohn, an Indianapolis resident who grew up in Carmel, portrays Elinor Dashwood in Civic Theatre’s production of “Sense and Sensibility,” based on the classic novel.

Published in 1811, “Sense and Sensibility” tells the story of the teenage Dashwood sisters, who become broke and “socially vulnerable” following the death of their father in 18th century England. The play runs Feb. 2 through Feb. 17 at Civic Theatre, 3 Center Green, Suite 300.

Bohn, who began acting at a young age in summer theater camps, has longed for the opportunity to perform in an Austen production.

“I’m drawn to the story for the fact that it’s Jane Austen,” said Bohn, a 2012 Park Tudor High School graduate who has a bachelor’s degree in theater from Butler University.

She also has a diploma in classical act-

Blueprint for Improvement: Backyard fit for entertainment Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background Info: This home in Lebanon was built in the 1980s. The interior was perfect for the homeowners, but the exterior of the home had a small deck and a large yard that was being underutilized.

The overall goal was to create a larger space for the family to entertain, utilizing more of the homeowners’ backyard and making it easy for them to maintain.

1. The biggest transformation came from removing the deck and a large tree in the backyard, which created enough space to add a large, stamped-concrete patio that utilized more of the backyard.

2. Having the extra space on the large patio allowed the homeowners to add more outdoor furniture without compromising space.

3. Building a pavilion structure with a ceiling fan created a comfortable shaded area for entertaining.

4. The pavilion also created a space for the homeowners to add a portable fire pit.

5. Light fixtures were added to the structure so it could be enjoyed in the evening hours.

After

Before problems The original deck on the home was small and had limited shaded space for the homeowners to entertain. The deck needed regular maintenance and upkeep. The backyard was very large, and a majority of it was not being utilized to its full potential.

Do the Brussels hustle Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Mount of Temptation near Jericho, Palestinian Territories. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Sizing up Mount of Temptation Commentary by Don Knebel A monastery suspended from the side of a mountain near Jericho memorializes a famous story about Jesus. It also suggests that perhaps the story should travel not be taken too literally.

According to the New Testament, after Jesus had been baptized in the Jordan River he went into the desert to meditate. After 40 days of fasting, the devil took him to an “exceedingly high mountain,” where he could see all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, and offered him control of those kingdoms if Jesus became a devil worshipper. Jesus refused.

As early as the first century, Christian hermits began living in a network of about 40 natural caves on the side of a 1,200-foot mountain northwest of Jericho. In about 326 A.D., after Emperor Constantine had declared that Christianity was legal in the Roman Empire, he sent his mother Helena to identify sites mentioned in the Bible.

She concluded that the mountain with the caves was where the devil had tempted

Jesus. Based on Helena’s identification, fourth century monks built a monastery on the mountain near the ruins of a second century B.C. fortress erected by the Maccabees. The monastery was destroyed in 614 when Persia took control of the area from the Byzantine Empire. When the Crusaders captured the area in 1099, they erected two churches near caves, by then associated with the temptation of Jesus. In 1895, a Greek Orthodox religious order erected a cantilevered monastery half way up the side of the mountain, now known as the Mount of Temptation.

Since 1998, a cable car has run from the ruins of the ancient city of Jericho to the monastery, where visitors can eat lunch and get a spectacular view of the Jordan River Valley, the Dead Sea and the mountains of Moab in nearby Jordan.

In 2014, kale was all the rage at the local farmers market. 2016 brought us an avocado fad, which grammar guy elevated toast prices among the hipster millennial community. As a professional grammarian and amateur vegetable trend forecaster, take this hot tip: You’re going to want to put all your summer stock in Brussels sprouts.

Before you object to this up-and-coming veggie trend based on how your mom used to make Brussels sprouts (boiled to oblivion), I’m told there are now more interesting and tasty ways to prepare these cute little cabbages (roasted with sea salt and olive oil, for one).

And it’s spelled Brussels sprouts, not brussel sprouts. You could theoretically have one Brussels sprout, I suppose. Even though they originated in the Mediterranean region, Brussels sprouts gained popularity across Europe, especially in Belgium, where they received their geographical moniker. And yes, I capitalized the “b” in Brussels sprouts.

For that matter, what about the “f” in

The Zillow analysis found that muted blues and grays add the most value, while warm colors including reds, oranges and yellows reduced a home’s value the most.

French toast? French fries certainly don’t always get the capital treatment. In the United Nations of foods, there’s not much capitalization consistency. Will the delegation from Switzerland be offended if Swiss cheese isn’t capitalized?

One argument against capitalizing any noun phrase containing a place word is that you should call Brussels sprouts “Brussels sprouts” with a capital “b” if (and only if) they did, indeed, originate from the city of Brussels. If they didn’t actually hail from the geographical region, argues the Chicago Manual of Style, you don’t need to capitalize them.

I’m going to have to disagree with the “never capitalize” camp. I’ve never seen baked Alaska with a lowercase “a,” even though the flambéd dessert most likely wasn’t sourced and shipped from our 49th state. The same rule applies to Swiss chard, Dijon mustard, Gorgonzola cheese, Canadian bacon and the Cuban sandwich.

Ralph (Moondoggy) Metzger, was born October 12, 1957, lost his battle with cancer on Sunday January 21 at his home, he was 60 years old.

Ralph was surrounded by his loving wife (Ingrid) sister (Pam) and brother (Jay) . He was proceeded in death by his mom, Anna May, his father, Ralph (Sonny) and his brother Rodger.

As I sit here writing this Obituary for this man that is/was my stepdad there are tears streaming down my face. There isn’t enough space in this paper to tell the world about you.

Ralph was a care free loving man that is/was step dad to Shauna (Will) Parsons (Noblesville) and Crystal (Paul) Roy (Greenwood). He spent many weeknights after work and weekends spending time with family on the lake, fishing and swimming. Many times, Ralph would want to play a game called “Wash the Boat”, I would be super excited until I realized what exactly I had to do. I had to jump in the water, he would hand me an old rag and some soap. I would literally have to wash the boat, that was currently in the water.

Ralph also enjoyed being on the beach with his feet in the sand listening to the waves crash. I will cherish every memory I have of you.

Ralph served in the Air Force for 4 years and he worked at Hash Motors (Fishers) for 30 years.

There will be a “celebration of life” planned by his wife on a later date. You are and will be greatly missed.
