Fishers council approves funding for $52M mixed-use project at Delaware Park By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com The Fishers City Council voted 6-2 to on Aug. 16 approve a financial agreement to support a $52 million DEVELOPMENT mixed-use project by Envoy that includes six buildings, and a walking trail south of 106th Street between Kincaid Drive and Lantern Road. The development at Delaware Park is planned to include 280 multi-family apartments, more than 23,000 square feet of retail space, a stand-alone restaurant, new public infrastructure and space for a corporate business park. “The developers have focused on creating this park as an amenity and the resources with it, not just for the future residents but also for the companies that call Delaware Park home,” said Megan Baumgarter, Fishers director of economic development. Per the agreement, Fishers would give 100 percent of tax increment financing

dollars collected through the project to the developer to repay the 25-year bond funding the development. TIF collects tax revenue generated by redevelopment in a specific area to pay for improvements. The agreement also waives stormwater and sewer fees, an expected $40,000 in savings for the developer. TIF funding is expected to generate up to $10.13 million, with $8.57 million usable for the project, and the rest going to an assortment of fees. Approximately $2.5 million will go to the construction of a trail and a new east/west road, Pearl Street, that will connect Lantern Road to Kincaid Drive. The developers will then repay the bon with payments of approximately $807,350 a year. The project is dependent on rezoning the residential portion of Delaware Park to a different place in the development. The amendment for such rezoning is expected to be submitted by the developer on Sept. 13, with a public hearing before the Plan Commission Oct. 6 and before the City Council on Oct. 18.

“We are agreeing to the financial agreement, but if we don’t rezone it, the project isn’t going to happen,” councilor John Weingardt said. “We’re not just voting this thing through tonight. We are going to have a process that we are going to go through.” The two dissenting votes were cast by the council’s two Democrats. Crystal Neumann was expecting more sustainable elements incorporated in the proposed design than what was presented to council at the meeting. Jocelyn Vare said she voted against the project funding because did not find the city’s proposed $6 million investment either “necessary nor wise” and objected to State Sen. Scott Baldwin being the CEO of Envoy, which she did not find was properly disclosed to the public. She also did not feel she was given proper notice to fully evaluate the project. “I learned about this project for the very first time only three business days ago. I don’t know why this is the case, but I find it unacceptable,” Vare said.

3 teens die in S.C. wreck By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Three Fishers teens are dead after an early morning traffic accident Aug. 16 in South Carolina. NEWS At approximately 2:06 a.m., twins Elleana and Isabella Gaddis, 17, and Brianna Foster, 18, were in a vehicle heading east on I-26 near Spartanburg, S.C., when a Hummer traveling west in the eastbound lanes struck the sedan carrying the Fishers residents head on. The teens were pronounced dead at the scene. A fourth passenger, also a teen and currently unidentified, was taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries. The Hummer was driven by Melissa A. Parker, 43, of Spartanburg, who fled the scene of the accident on foot but was apprehended by South Carolina Highway Patrol quickly after the accident. She was treated for minor injuries at a nearby hospital and has been arrested and charged with three counts of felony DUI with death, three counts of felony hit and run with death and one count of felony hit and run with personal injury. Foster was a recent graduate of Hamilton

Southeastern High school, while the Gaddis twins were current students. “I am deeply saddened to hear of the young lives lost (Aug. 16),” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, stated via Twitter. “These young women were members of the HSE and Fishers family, and their tragic loss will be felt throughout our entire community. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those deceased and injured in this terrible accident. I hope with this sad news that we can put our differences aside to support and mourn with the families. Our community has always taken care of one another and I have every confidence that we can come together in this difficult moment.” In an email, HSE schools requested all members of the school district keep the families involved in the accident in their “thoughts as they cope with this difficult and sudden loss.” At Hamilton Southeastern High School, where Foster was a recent graduate and the Gaddis sisters attended, tributes for the family were planned during the Aug. 20 season-opening football game. A candlelight vigil was planned, along with a moment of silence before kickoff.

The deaths of Brianna Foster, 18, and twins Elleana and Isabella MOURNING Gaddis, 17, all of Fishers, in a South Carolina car accident on Aug. 16 caused by an alleged drunk driver, has cast a pall across the city. In the aftermath, the community has stepped up to offer support and encouragement to the grieving families.

Team wins national title By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Guerin Catholic High School senior Izzy Kemp only allowed one earned run in 31 1/3 innings in seven games in SOFTBALL the USA Softball national tournament. Yet Kemp was quick to share credit by claiming the key to winning the USA Softball Class A U16 national title was all about hitting. “Everybody was swinging to do damage and it really made it more comfortable to pitch behind,” Kemp said. The Shockwaves Rayman 16U won the national championship by beating Minnesota Magic Gold 2-1 July 31 in Sioux Falls, S.D. The team’s record was 9-0 in the national tournament. The Indiana team’s coach is Carmel resident Jeanne Rayman, a 1986 Carmel High School graduate. She is a former Butler University softball player and head coach. In the tourney, Kemp, a Westfield resident, was 7-0. The team included Noblesville High School junior outfielder Erin Clark and Hamilton Southeastern sophomore pitcher Jenna

Chase. Chase was 1-0 in six innings in three games in the tournament “Jenna Chase was a 14U-eligible player challenging herself in 16U,” Rayman said. “She picked up key innings in pool play to keep the staff fresh and was available for relief pitching as needed. Also, we were able to utilize her in a pinch running or hitting situation.”

NHS soccer player aims for special season By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com There is good reason why Noblesville High School’s Palmer Ault was named one of the 60 high school All-Americans by the United Soccer Coaches after the 2020 season. “Palmer has so many key qualities to his game,” Noblesville boys soccer coach Kenneth Dollaske said. “He is tremendous at keeping possession in tight spaces, has vision to find passing lanes most players wouldn’t even notice, cracks thunderous shots that leave opponent goalkeepers confused, and is deceptively quick, both with and without the ball. As he has grown throughout his time with our program, he has learned to embrace a captain’s role and make his teammates better on and off the pitch.” A forward, Ault had 20 goals for the Millers last season. Noblesville has 13 seniors and several starters returning from last year’s 151-1 team. The Millers were ranked No. 1 in the Indiana Soccer Coaches Association preseason rankings. The season began Aug. 16. “So, we’ll have a little bit of a target on

ern in last year’s sectional semifinals. “We’ve added two great teams from Ohio that we’ve added to our schedule,” Ault said. “This is definitely one of the best teams in the state. We have the guys to do (win a state championship). It just comes with hard work each day in practice, pushing

each other to be better players along with better people.” Ault said he has improved his leadership skills. “I’m trying to lead by example for some of the younger players,” he said. “From a tactical standpoint, I think I’ve improved upon my speed of play. Playing with some older, stronger guys helped me earlier in my career. Having some success at a younger age motived me.” As a sophomore, Ault was named first team all-state. He played basketball and soccer through eighth grade. “I enjoyed playing both and didn’t know which one I wanted to focus on,” he said. “When I got to high school, I decided to concentrate on soccer and pursue that goal wanting to play in college. If a professional chance happens, that would be awesome.” Ault played for Indy Premier for several years but will join Indiana Fire Academy after his high school season. Ault said he hopes to make a college decision in the next two months. “I’d say Butler is my No. 1 school,” said Ault, who also is considering DePaul, Loyola University and IUPUI.

Yvonne Stokes said EMPLOYMENT during an Aug. 11 school board meeting. “I’m doing a call out to all of you who may want to help,” Stokes said. Stokes said the district is short on substitute teachers, food services workers and bus drivers. Stokes said the district has 392 substitute teachers and wants to add 72 more. The district is looking to hire 48 more food service workers. “I know that sounds like a lot, but our staff is currently doing some double duty,” Stokes said. The district also has two open bus routes and wants to hire up to 15 more bus drivers on top of the immediate need. “If you are inclined and have a good driving record and have patience with children, please reach out to our transportation department,” Stokes said.

At Riverview Health Physicians Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tieman offers a variety of services to patients, including body contouring, Botox® and fillers, breast surgery, cancer reconstruction, facial plastic surgery and trauma reconstruction. What do you do for fun? “I love to restore and work on classic cars.” To schedule an appointment with Dr. Tieman, call 317.214.5795 or visit riverview.org.

The purpose of the first Prevail’s 100 Men Leadership Summit is to inspire and mobilize men in breaking the PREVAIL traditional mold of what it means to be a leader in the community. “This idea is founded on 100 Men’s approach of self and youth development,” said Sara Roorbach, Prevail’s primary prevention specialist. “We wanted to provide a space for men to come together to learn how to be better men, especially male leaders. We understand that men hold influential space in our community, and we wanted to inspire and mobilize men in breaking the traditional mold of what it means to be a male leader.” The event is set for 8 a.m. to noon Sept. 11 at the Cambria Hotel in Westfield. Breakfast and refreshments will be provided. The keynote speakers are Kyle Miller, coordinator of social emotional learning for Westfield Washington Schools, Westfield Middle School principal Mike Hall and Westfield Mayor Andy Cook. Attendees will learn the Web of Supports Model and how to en-

Determination helps spur run By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indiana Fire Juniors U18 Red Team coach Shane McIntyre knows his boys soccer team was special. SOCCER “Determination, resilience, belief and team, those would be the best words to describe the team,” said McIntyre, who is the boys director of coaching for Indiana Fire. “These players trusted and believed in each other like no other team I have ever been around, and I’ve been doing this for about 20 years now. They never quit believing they could do it, even after being in some tough circumstances in some games along the journey. You can have special individual players but that only takes you so far. “Not to say this team doesn’t have special players because there is no doubt we do, but it’s when you come together and can look each other in the eye and know that you have each other’s back when times get tough, that’s when you know you are on the verge of something special.” The team, which plays its games at Westfield’s Grand Park, reached the semifinals

of the United States Youth Soccer National Championships before losing 2-1 to Kingdom FC of Michigan July 24 in Bradenton, Fla. Kingdom went on to win the national title. Indiana Fire finished with a 32-3-6 overall record, including 10-2-1 in state, regional and national tournaments. “Hopefully, their legacy will inspire our younger teams in our club to set their goals high to go get that first national championship for our club,” McIntyre said. “That is if this group doesn’t make one more run at it next season since we will be returning 11 juniors and now have the invaluable experience of being so close and (care) determined to get back to finish it out lifting the national championship trophy in 2022.”

Wrestling academy trains wrestlers to compete on “global stage” By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Walking into the Legends of Gold Wrestling Academy inside Krav Maga Indy at 7264 Fishers Crossing Dr. Fishers, the stench of sweat — the byproduct of grueling work — is unmistakable. A dozen teenage wrestlers are getting loose, preparing for another session inside the only Olympic developmental academy for wrestling for seventh through 12th graders in Indiana. Legends of Gold is looking to expand the program it already offers to kindergarten through sixth-grade students this fall. But at the moment, master coach Nick Hull is scowling. He doesn’t think students are working quite hard enough. “You think it smells (like sweat) in here, you should visit our other gym in Indianapolis,”said Hull, speaking fondly of the more spartan gym downtown. Hull oversees the two gyms as well as the wrestling team at Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate and Junior High schools. While the two Legends of Gold locations differ in ambiance, both train students not just in the folkstyle of wrestling, which is used in American high schools and colleges, but also in the Olympic styles: Greco-Roman, which doesn’t permit moves waist down, and freestyle, which allows the use of legs and looks more like American folkstyle. “Our goal is to maximize everyone’s potential,” said Cory Graham, Legends of Gold’s cadet and junior coach. “Not everyone’s potential is the same. Not everyone is going to be a world champion, but they have the potential to be as great as they can be. If they put the time in, come in here every day, put in the work and are coachable, all these kids have the potential to maximize their success in this sport.” Hull founded Legends of Gold to help the United States compete on the global stage against nations like Russia and Iran, who train their wrestlers in Olympic-style programs and with high expectations from their youth. “Here in the U.S., a kid would wrestle for their club. That’s one system. Middle school, that’s another system, and so on and so forth. By the time they even get to

Association Freestyle finals. Hull nitpicks the wrestlers he coaches. He wants them to perfect their craft. And wrestlers like Cast are up for the challenge as evidence by signing up for the program. “Nobody really has to be here,” Cast said. “Since it’s optional, everybody works just a little bit harder because they are choosing to be here.” For more, visit legendsofgold.org.

potentially make it to the international level, they’ve had five or six systems,” Hull said. Hull, USA Wrestling’s Olympic wrestling director for the state of Indiana, streamlines the process. The focus and emphasis of the coaching, Hull said, is developing wrestlers whose goals include competing on the senior level, beyond college and maybe on the Olympic stage. One wrestler seeing the fruits of that type of training is Hamilton Southeastern High School senior Ryan Cast, who wrestled

last year at 170 pounds. in the IHSAA state tournament. “As I started in my sophomore year, I didn’t even make it out of regionals, and I wasn’t doing so well, but focusing on all the little details and making sure everything is perfect really made me up my game really fast,” Cast said. Cast improved last year, advancing to the second round of semistate. He then wrestled freestyle and Greco later in the season, finishing fifth in the Indiana State Wrestling

Nick Hull, the master coach at Legends of Gold gym, began his journey into wrestling by getting cut from the Lawrence Central baseball team. “I was completely lost,” Hull said. He tried tennis, but once he responded to a tennis coach by sneaking up behind him and grappling the coach to the ground. The coach suggested Hull try wrestling. Hull loved it. He was third string as a freshman, but he liked the individual aspect of the sport. In the summer, while trying to improve, he gave Olympic styles a shot. “I binged on freestyle and Greco,” Hull said. “The next year, my sophomore year, not only was I on varsity, I ended up placing seventh in the state.” Hull went on to win a state title in 1996 and was ranked third in the nation in his 112-pound weight class when he graduated. He was ranked No. 1 in the nation for a time. He then moved into coaching, first in college, and then high school at Arlington in Indianapolis before settling into the gym he now runs. In 2019, Hull returned to the mat and won a bronze medal in his weight class at the 2019 Veterans World Championships.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Custom service

No shame in Sin City

Commentary by Terry Anker It is terrific to get exactly what we want, exactly when we want it. Beginning in 1974, the fast-food giant Burger King capitalized on what it considered to be a weakness of its competitors — inflexibility. In what turned out to be one of the company’s, if not the nation’s, most successful campaigns, Burger King promised that its customers didn’t have to conform to the taste of someone else. “Hold the pickles,” the smiling employee said. “Hold the lettuce,” another enthusiastically offered. “Special orders don’t upset us,” they promised in unison. “All we ask is that you let us serve it your way!” The company offered custom for the same price as off-therack. It worked as consumers loved the flexibility. Times, as they seem to do, have changed. Burger King struggles to find the right advertising strategy — most recently promoting no preservatives with time-lapse images of rotting burgers. It’s unclear as to how this sells Whoppers. Regardless, others have discovered that customers like custom. And in a world powered by computers, complex algorithms tailoring each element of nearly anything — from travel to tacos — is now simple enough. But more important, we have come to know that à la carte can be highly à la profitable. Airlines earned $75.6 billion in fees for checked luggage, early boarding, peanuts and assigned seats. Not wanting to fall behind, hotels and others in the so-called hospitality industry are boarding the gravy train. We can expect charges for use of advertised amenities like pools, beach access and utilities (television/internet). With assurances that our individual costs will go down, most accept the pay-as-you go methodology. But is making less money the objective of the business? And is reduced service in the best interest of the consumer?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.”

— WILLA CATHER

I’ve done it, folks! I’ve successfully secured Worst Mom of the Year for 2021. Instead of seeing a son off to France for his year abroad and taking last “First Day” pictures of my high school senior, I’ve been gallivanting in Vegas, loving every single minute of it. Shame hath no place on a mother’s vacation! My husband Doo was attending a weeklong conference in Sin City and I decided to tag along, not realizing I’d be missing some major milestones in our children’s lives. But if I learned anything from my dad’s passing last year, it was to live every moment to its fullest, especially if said moment occurs in and around a desert casino. So, I played the penny slots for several hours and then watched Doo hit on lucky number 13 in roulette. We sat mesmorized at a Cirque du Soleil show, alternating between “What the heck is happening?” and “Holy cow, these people are bendy!” We explored the Hoover Dam in ridiculously hot temperatures before heading to Red Rock Canyon for a gorgeous scenic drive. Although we never once spotted a stupid burro, tortoise, or rattler (as advertised), or actually left our air-conditioned rental car, for that matter, we imagined ourselves quite the nature enthusiasts. All the while, I’m waiting for confirmation that Son did in fact catch his flight and arrive safely in Marseilles and texting frantic instructions for Senior to take those start-of-school selfies. But honestly, I never really felt that guilty. Life is too short for shame, folks, even for mothers. “I’d like to thank the Las Vegas Strip, without whom this award would not have been possible!” Peace out.

Mary Ellen and I went to IKEA when it first opened, just to look around. I was mostly looking for the exit, HUMOR because the place was so massive, I was afraid we’d get lost. No problem, since there were tiny bedrooms all over the store where we could have hung out for a nice, relaxing evening. Food would not have been an issue, either, since there is a huge bistro located in the center of the store. No need to ask for directions or follow floor markings; just walk toward the smell of Swedish meatballs. IKEA spearheaded a new promotional campaign to celebrate its company and its customers, featuring the Huvudroll Meatball scented candle, part of the Swedish furniture company’s “Store-in-a-Box” gift, orchestrated to bring the sights, sounds and smells of its hallowed halls inside a surprise package. The candle is just one item in an assortment of merchandise that will be offered to exactly 986 customers on a lottery basis. Why 986? No clue, but the number does look the same if you turn it upside down, just like the nightstand I bought at IKEA.

As of this writing, the marketing people have not completely decided what else to include in the box, or even how big the box will be. Said one executive, “We still haven’t put it all together, so we are not sure what it will finally look like.” This sounds vaguely like what I said after I tried completing my first IKEA bookshelf.

I think IKEA’s pulled-pork sandwich is delicious. I’d just like to know where they pulled the pork from. – DICK WOLFSIE The meatballs haven’t been without controversy. Several years ago, IKEA was required to “withdraw” some of their food from supermarkets in Sweden because traces of horse meat were found in the product. In racing terminology, horses are not “withdrawn,” they’re scratched. But no shopper wants to hear the phrase, “Effective immediately, we are scratching our Swedish meatballs.” People tweeted about the horsey issue. Here were my favorites: • Tried both beef tacos and horse tacos.

Horse wins by a nose. • My friend ate it and was hospitalized. Condition: Stable. • Ate too much. Gave me the trots. • My roommate suggested we eat meatballs for lunch. I said WHOA, not so fast. So, why was horse meat added to some products? Is it cheaper than beef? Aren’t horses harder to catch? Rabbit should be pricey. They should give turtle soup away. On cooking websites, hundreds of recipes feature horse meat. A noted food critic says, “Most of the dishes are winners.” Seems like the winners would have a better chance of not being on the menu. I think IKEA’s pulled-pork sandwich is delicious. I’d just like to know where they pulled the pork from. Meanwhile, I look forward to learning what else will be put in that IKEA box. If I am one of the winners, I hope whatever is in there does not require assembly.

Versiti Blood Center urgently seeks blood donations By Jonathan Matthes jonathan@youarecurrent.com Versiti Blood Center of Indiana, with a Carmel location at 726 Adams St., Suite 150, and a Fishers location at 1100 SUPPLY S. Allisonville Rd., is running low on its stored blood supply and is seeking more donations from the community. “Ever since the pandemic really took off in the United States, blood centers have been challenged to collect volunteer donors,” said Dr. Dan Waxman, vice president of transfusion medicine and senior medical director for Versiti Blood Center of Indiana. Waxman said that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Versiti collected 70 percent of its blood supply from approximately 550 daily donations through mobile collection sites set up at schools, places of worship and businesses. But Versiti has had limited access to high schools and colleges, which ac-

counted for 50 percent of those donations. “On (Aug. 17) when we started out, we had just over 200 units of O-positive, 32 units of O-negative, and that’s about a day-anda-half supply of each,” Waxman said. “We would like to be at a three-day supply (at all times). I would like to see over 400 units of O-positive in my refrigerators.” Waxman said donations take about an hour, with only 15 minutes accounting for the actual time that blood is drawn. Donors must be at least 17 and can donate every eight weeks. There is no upper age limit, but the donor needs to be at least 110 pounds. Waxman said people with diabetes or who are on blood pressure medication can donate if their blood sugar or blood pressure is under control. “You would make an impact right here in Indiana,” Waxman said. Walk-ins are welcome. For more, visit versiti.org/ways-to-give/our-communities/ Indiana.

Carmel gears up for Artomobilia Weekend By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com With a mix of fast cars, collector cars, rare cars and classic cars — not to mention a car rally and a unique cuCARS linary experience that combines gourmet food and, well, cars — Artomobilia Weekend has something for virtually all car connoisseurs. “It’s a great automotive weekend that showcases a great collection of cars against the really exceptional assets of the Carmel community, be that the Carmel Arts & Design District, Midtown or the Lucas residence,” said John Leonard, event coordinator for an attraction that has grown exponentially since its launch in 2008. “If you’re interested in cars, this event is perfect.” With a laser-focus on exotic, classic and unique cars, Artomobilia Weekend revs up Aug. 27 with the annual SHIFT Road Rally through southern Indiana and the Fuelicious auto/dining event at Lucas Estate in Carmel.

Presented throughout the Arts & Design District, Artomobilia features several hundred enthusiast and collector cars, ranging from original, period-correct cars, exotic cars, classic cars, sports cars and racecars. “Artomobilia is an eclectic car show, one of the largest and most diverse that focuses on automotive art and design,” Leonard said. “We’ll have more than 500 vehicles, from a 1908 Buick Model F to a

This year, our featured marquee is Lotus, and we’ll be showcasing the Lotus Evija, a $2.5 million, 2,000 horsepower all-electric hyper car. “Gator Motorsport and Lotus Cars are bringing it from the U.K. to appear in Artomobilia.” Rounding out Artomobilia Weekend are the SHIFT Road Rally, Fuelicious and Arto-Palooza. SHIFT is a private 190-mile driving event through the backroads of southern Indiana. An annual fundraiser for various causes, this year’s beneficiary is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. Another annual fundraiser, Fuelicious is a gourmet dining/auto showcase event at Lucas Estate that includes live entertainment and benefits Meals on Wheels of Central Indiana. More than 500 people typically attend. A relatively new attraction established in 2019, Arto-Palooza is an “event-withinan event” at Artomobilia that will feature three groups of cars: Lotus, Porsche and BMW. “A big part of (Artomobilia Weekend) is

simply the City of Carmel’s support for the event since 2008 and the investment that has been made in the city (throughout) that period of time,” Leonard said. “Carmel is really quite exceptional in terms of its amenities and access to residents and guests. It also provides another perspective on what constitutes art. We believe cars are art, and in many ways (the event) pays tribute to the beginnings of the automotive industry here in Indiana.” For more, visit artomobilia.org.

Grand Junction Brewing Co. owner Jon Knight said the Rock the Junction beer and music festival was origFUNDRAISER inally an avenue for his business to give back to the community. “From Day 1, we’ve wanted Grand Junction to be involved heavily in our community,” Knight said. “One of the ways we decided we could do that is by putting together a craft beer and music festival.” This is the fifth year for the Rock the Junction festival. Traditionally held in the middle of May, it is scheduled for 1 to 5 p.m. Aug. 28 at the brewery, 1189 E. 181st St., Westfield. The event was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The brewery didn’t host the event in 2020. Knight said he expects the 2022 event to be in May. “We’ve probably generated over $50,000 in charity donations from Rock the Junction,” Knight said. “In fact, despite the COVID pandemic, we still donated for two scholarships at Westfield High School without the event.” Typically, Rock the Junction funds two $2,000 scholarships. Because the event wasn’t held last year, Grand Junction Brewing Co. granted two $1,000 scholarships. To apply, students submit an essay on why they feel they’re deserving of the scholarship. The essay is the only criteria for the scholarship, which makes it unique. “It’s very different than other scholarships,” Knight said. “We provide scholarships in particular to graduating seniors pursuing vocational trades, because if you think about it, all the scholarships that are

out there are typically for four-year students with high GPAs, and (those students are) also getting other scholarship offers. We recognized a need. We recognized there was a gap and there was a need in the community for scholarship money for those students who may not have the highest GPA and those students pursuing vocational programs. “For example, if someone wanted to go out and study brewing science or become a diesel mechanic or vocational trade, this filled that void.” The brewery is expecting 1,000 people for the event. Knight said he expects tickets to sell out. Twenty-five breweries, wineries, distilleries and cideries will provide samples for attendees. The brewery will be closed to the public during the event but will open when it ends. Three bands will perform: The Dead Squirrels, Fast Cadillac and Chasing Katie. Besides providing scholarships, Grand Junction Brewing Co. also has donated to charities such as the Westfield Youth Assistance Program, Indy Honor Flight and Indiana Suicide Prevention. For more, visit rockthejunction.com.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 313 Water St., Saugatuck, Mich. What to get: Salmon bowl Price: $14.99 Anna’s take: This week’s column takes a bit of a different spin. I recently took a vacation to Michigan and stopped at Saugatuck, the halfway point to my destination, on the way back home. After a friend mentioned how much they loved visiting Saugatuck, I thought it would be a good idea to share one of the quaint town’s restaurants with our readers. Saugatuck has lots of waterfront-dining opportunities and endless restaurant options, but my travel companion (my mother) and I needed something quick and easy so we could beat a fast-approaching storm. We stopped at Fresh Basil Café, a little café with-gluten free and vegan

options. I ordered the salmon bowl, a delicious, fresh bowl of baby spinach topped with almonds, cucumbers, green onions, tomatoes, quinoa and, of course, salmon. It was drizzled with a tasty poppy seed dressing. My mother ordered the lobster roll and also was happy with her meal. Saugatuck makes for an excellent weekend getaway, or at three hours away, it could even be a day trip if you’re feeling ambitious.

THE BLUEPRINT • Floating vanities in a warm maple finish replaced the floor-based cabinetry. LED lighting was added below for additional ambiance. • Dark gray granite was used for the vanity countertops and the shower bench. • The walk-in shower was updated with ceramic tile and a frameless door. Oilrubbed bronze fixtures add style to the space. • A sculptural freestanding tub replaced the jet-style tub. • The cathedral ceiling is accentuated with an artistic crystal chandelier.

Visiting Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial Commentary by Don Knebel The Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, about 100 miles south of Indianapolis, recognizes the 14 formative TRAVEL years Abraham Lincoln spent in Indiana. Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 near Hodgenville, Ky., to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln. In 1816, after losing three farms in title disputes, Thomas moved his family to Indiana because of its reliable land surveys and slavery ban. He purchased 160 wooded acres from the federal government in what is now Spencer County for $320, payable over time. He built a one-room log cabin and began clearing about 80 acres. When Nancy Lincoln died of milk sickness in 1818, Thomas buried her on a hilltop 1,500 feet from the cabin, establishing a small private cemetery. In 1827, Thomas Lincoln relinquished his claim to 80 acres and received clear title to the remainder. In 1829, he began building a new log home, but moved his family, including his second wife and stepchildren, to Illinois before completing it. In 1879, with increased interest in all things Lincoln, Peter Studebaker of South STATE OF INDIANA COUNTY OF HAMILTON

and fireplace was added. In 1943, Indiana completed a two-wing limestone memorial building, honoring Abraham and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, at the south end of the allée. The site, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, now includes a reconstructed 1820s farm, with staff members in period dress answering questions about the time the Lincolns lived there.

In 1925, Indiana acquired 60 acres, including the cemetery and cabin site, and opened the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial, with an allée designed by Frederick Law Olmstead leading to the cemetery. In 1934, a mile-long Trail of Twelve Stones was added, marking significant events in Abraham Lincoln’s life. A bronze monument symbolizing a cabin foundation
