Temporary ordinances introduced for I-69 By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com At its May 10 meeting, the Fishers Plan Commission unanimously issued favorable recommendations for a pair of development temporary ordinances designed to help the city best develop along I-69 at 106th and 116th streets. Upon approval by city council at its May 16 meeting, the ordinances will require any new development along I-69 at 106th and 116th streets go before the city council for approval regardless of the area’s underlying zoning — which hasn’t been updated in approximately 20 years. “The city is experiencing a lot of development around 106th Street as well as 116th Street based on the current zoning that is outdated on back to the '80s or inconsistent with each other as well as the vision that the city is putting forward in the Fishers 2040 plan,” Director of Community Development Tony Bagato said. “To address these concerns, staff is recom-

mending ordinances that would require a 120day period for any properties in the ordinance to go through city council for approval just so that staff and the city council has the ability to review plans and encourage development that would be consistent with the comprehensive plan.” According to a release from the city, the land along I-69 around 106th and 116th streets has been zoned broadly commercial since the mid-1980s with Planned Unit Developments that vary in architectural styles and permit building heights that range from two-story buildings up

to the maximum height allowed by state law. “It’s a fruit-salad of zoning that needs to be re-thought to provide a comprehensive look and unified goal for the overall corridor,” Mayor Scott Fadness stated. “We have one shot at getting this right.” During the 120-day lifespan of the ordinances, the mayor, city council and city staff will work to address the area’s zoning conflicts. “Quite frankly, many of those zoning requirements are 20-plus years old and they were done prior to any of the expansion that's going on,” City Councilor and Plan Commission member Pete Peterson said. “This is really an effort by the mayor, our council and the city to make sure that we continue to have that world-class development along a corridor which is probably one of the biggest assets that this city has and not let things occur maybe that would degredate the property there.” Bagato said currently there are no development proposals already filed that would be affected by the ordinances, although it’s estimated one could arrive in June for a hotel off I-69.

Transportation networks key as city grows This is the fifth entry in a Current in Geist series on the city’s Fishers 2040 comprehensive plan, this week covering the chapter of the plan focusing on transportation. By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com

No chapter of the Fishers 2040 comprehensive plan might have as much fishers 2040 of an effect on as many of the city’s residents as the section focusing on transportation — no matter who you are, everybody needs to get around and wants to be able to best navigate the growing city. “I’m most excited about how comprehensive the transportation component is,” Deputy McGrath Mayor Leah McGrath said. “When people first hear transportation, they think cars, but it’s vehicles and pedestrians and all these corridors and place-making components.” Vice president of CRG Residential, David George has lived in Fishers for 20 years and George been a city councilor for 13. He remembers driving along 116th Street when it was just a two-lane road, and has seen firsthand how the city has reacted to its needs for more

transportation options as Fishers has grown over the years. “The neat thing about the 2040 plan is it all plans on top of land use and things like that, it’s all happening at the same time,” George said. “That was a good component, so we could look at the land use way out east where nothing is developed yet — what might be there, is it The city’s thoroughfare plan anticipates future road infrastructure needs going to be housing at this as Fishers continues to grow and develop.

closedor restricted to one lane of traffic leading up to and during the event. “What we like to tell people is that yeah, we might inconvenience you for a Saturday morning, but to date we’ve given back $400,000 to local schools,” Shelburne said.

FPD investigating Marsh pharmacy robbery

news@geistcurrent.com

May 10 marked the one-year anniversary of the fatal crash that resulted crime in the death of 25-year-old Lawrence resident Jonathan Macklin. Lawrence Police Dept. officers have investigated hundreds of tips and white SUVs in the year since, but neither the driver nor vehicle have been identified since fleeing the scene of the crash, which occurred on the 8100 block of Pendleton Pike the evening of May 10, 2015. Video surveillance of the area showed a white 2000-2006 SUV — likely a Chevy Tahoe or Suburban or GMC Yukon — exiting westbound from Esquire Plaza into the path of Macklin’s oncoming motorcycle on Pendleton Pike. The motorcycle impacted the SUV at an angle on the driver’s side read of the SUV as it was turning onto Pendleton Pike and sustained damage including a broken rear window and a dangling taillight. After the impact, the white SUV continued west on Pendleton Pike without stopping. Lawrence police continue to implore anyone

The Fishers Police Dept. is investigating a robbery of a local grocery store pharmacy crime and seeking information from the public regarding the identity of two suspects. Prescription medication was taken from the pharmacy inside the Marsh Supermarket at 8766 E. 96th St. near Lantern Road on May 6. According to Marsh employers and evidence collected in the store, two males walked up to the pharmacy and passed a note demanding prescription medication. The pharmacist complied and was not injured. The suspects were last seen running out of the supermarket and responding officers set a perimeter and conducted an extensive search of the area, but the suspects were not found. The pair were described as black males in their mid to late teens, one wearing a hooded sweatshirt and the other wearing a black zip-up sweatshirt with an Air Jordan logo. The Fishers Police Dept. is encouraging anyone with information regarding the robbery or the identity of the suspects to call Detective David Finn at 317-595-3341.

Cartoonist Campbell wins again By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Shortly after Current in Carmel launched in 2006, Tim Campbell decided to try his hand at an editorial cartoon. recognition His first cartoon? Having a little fun with Carmel’s roundabouts. Campbell had noticed Current was looking for submissions. “I drew up a sketch and sent it to (executive vice president/general manager) Steve Greenberg in an Campbell email, and he sent me an email within 15 minutes and asked if I could do this all the time. That’s where it started,” Campbell said. Now, nearly 10 years later, the 57-year-old Carmel resident won his third consecutive first-place award for an editorial cartoon in the Society of Professional Journalists Best in Indiana Journalism awards contest last month. It was the fifth time Campbell had won the contest. His winning cartoon was about the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles accounting scandal. He also took third place on New England quarterback Tom Brady breaking his cellphone during the “deflategate” debacle.

“Any time I can make fun of the New England Patriots, those are ones that I like a lot,” Campbell said. “I enjoy doing cartoons on Indiana issues more than national issues.” Campbell is a freelance illustrator, with his biggest client being the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, and he teaches classes on fundamentals of design and color theory at Ivy Tech. Campbell said he has received feedback on cartoons that are about area politicians. “I’ve gotten responses that they are kind of flattered by it,” Campbell said. “Any publicity is good publicity — they kind of take that attitude about it.”

Finding my runner’s high Commentary by Heather Kestian There is a term and concept I learned about somewhere around 13 years lifestyle ago: runner’s high. It explains the euphoric feeling a runner can experience, an odd combination of both pain and pleasure. May 7, I participated in the 40th running of the Indianapolis 500 Festival Mini Marathon. While I am in no way an elite runner, I am a runner. Some steps are more painful than others; some are filled with far more pleasure. All of those steps are rewarding. A few years ago when my husband and I attempted to run the Geist Half Marathon together, we were nearly foiled by a babysitter snafu. As fate would have it, a dear friend stepped in and saved the day, which is ultimately a testament to having a village ready for you at a moment’s notice. The lesson we learned that day was that we probably shouldn’t run in the same race. Now he runs the Geist and I run the Mini. Daddy gets to run, Mommy gets to run and the kids get to stay at home with supervision. See how everyone wins?

This year as I was running, I decided to really soak up all that the run had to offer. I listened to each band instead of listening to my iPod. I watched the Circle City Cloggers and the square dancers along the way. I decided I am going to take my kids to the new gokarting facility I ran past. I took a selfie across the yard of bricks. To my friends who are about to run the Geist Half Marathon: I challenge you to enjoy every minute. Enjoy the people who line the course, the volunteers who make it all possible, the awesome neighborhoods and views along the way. There are people who would love to be where you are, so enjoy each breath, each heartbeat and each tear that may fall. I have yet to run in or watch a race that doesn’t inspire me. In the spirit of an old Irish blessing, may the wind be always at your back and the sun on your face.

Heather Kestian is a Fishers resident and mother. She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism, as well as a master’s degree in education. Her family moved to Fishers in 2010.

FGAA collecting personal items By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Through the end of the week, the Fishers Government Academy Alumni are taking donations for the group’s Make it Personal Drive. “This is our inaugural one and it’s something we hope to continue doing. We have a committee, the Pantry charity Partners, that decided to ask the two township pantries if they’d like support from us,” FGAA member M.E. Barwacz said. “They both said, ‘Of course.’ We asked what it was they really needed and they said they don’t get as many personal care items and there’s a huge need for that.” The township pantries combined to serve more than 3,000 residents in 2015, but run low on personal care products such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, deodorant, razors, brushes, combs, toilet paper and paper towels. “The sad thing is the majority of people here in Fishers don’t even realize how great the need is for those that need a little extra help,” Barwacz said. “It’s important and it’s really needed. “My personal plea is for folks to kind of look in their budget and look in their heart, please

Boutique owner’s charity race honors fallen husband, helps military families By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Brian Letendre would have been one of the first in line to sign up for the inaugural Camo Run, a 10K and 5K charity event set for May 21 that begins at the cover story Triton Brewery and runs through Fort Benjamin Harrison Park in Lawrence. “He loved drinking beer, and he loved running,” his widow, Autumn Letendre, said. The event will mark the 10-year anniversary of Brian’s death in Ramadi, Iraq, where he was serving as a Marine captain. The race will also raise money for The Golden Star USA Foundation, which Autumn founded in 2011 to help support fellow military families. “Over these 10 years, I knew that I wanted to start a non-profit that could serve the troops and their families,” she (Submitted flier) said. “Having been that family for his years of service and other deployments, I knew how difficult that time period was. The military and government provide a lot, but you need even more beyond it. I just wanted to be an extra provider in that gap for what families need.” The race is named after The Golden Star USA Foundation’s Camo Coverage program, which fields requests from across the nation from military servicemen and women and their families. “Anyone who is currently serving active duty or honorably discharged troops and their dependents are able to write to The Golden Star Foundation and say, 'We need formula, we need a hole in the roof fixed, we're getting ready to be evicted, we're getting ready to move and we don't have a bed, or our insurance deductible is $1,000 and we just can't afford it' — people have needs they just can't afford, whatever it is,” Autumn said. The foundation has hosted gala fundraisers in the past,

but, as Autumn said, “Those were really just friends and families being nice.” “This is really our inaugural event, and I’m so excited. The New You, an esthetician in the area, is our title sponsor this year. They’re truly the first company to be a big backer for us,” she said. “It's exciting because I feel like finally people are starting to believe in what we're doing, and that's motivating. This year being the 10-year anniversary is overwhelming for me because I'm emotionally tied to that and remembering him, but I'm crazy excited about the event.” Difficulty securing donations during The Golden Star USA Foundation’s early days inspired Autumn to open Abby Adams Boutique at 10122 Brooks School Rd. in 2013. “It was very difficult to get donations, because people were already supporting other groups. I thought, 'That's OK, I can do it myself,'” she said. “I needed to find another way, so that's how this store became. I love shopping, I love designing and decorating, so I thought if I could create a store that ladies can come shop in, I can take all those proceeds to be my donations, and I'll have a revenue stream.” The inaugural Camo Run event on May 21 begins with the start of the 10K race at 10:45 a.m. outside Triton Brewery, 5764 Wheeler Rd. The 5K begins at 11 a.m. and a kids’ quartermile race is at noon. “We have so much more happening, too,” Autumn said. “We have former Golden Knights that are going to be jumping in from the sky to start off the run, we have more than just the run, the walk and a kids run – there will be a bounce house for kids and other vendors out front, too. We have a private VIP lunch that follows with individuals who served with Brian as well as corporations that have backed us.” For more, or to register for the Camo Run by May 19, visit TheGoldenStarUSA.com.

Love at first laugh Autumn and Brian Letendre met while students and soccer players at Milligan College in Elizabethton, Tenn., where Brian’s first flirtations with his wife-to-be were designed for laughs. “The first thing that he said to me, we were at a soccer outing at a Pizza Hut, and he walked up to me — and I had heard that he liked me through rumors between the teams — and he grabbed my arms, and I thought, ‘This is kind of awkward,’ and he said, ‘Has anyone ever told you that you have the most beautiful elbows?’” she said. “I was like, ‘This guy is a weirdo,’ but it made me laugh because it was just so off the wall. And everybody started laughing because he had told them he was going to say something, but that was the beginning of me falling in love with him.” The couple was married in April 2001, and just weeks later Brian was deployed to Japan, with his tour extended following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Brian was home that Christmas, but his unit was quickly activated again. “Within the first three years of our marriage, we spent less than 90 days together,” Autumn said. “He left for war when I was pregnant … My son Dillon was about 4 months old by the time he came home and held him for the first time.” Now Autumn and Dillon share laughs when they look through old family photos of Brian, and in her late husband’s memory she has a passion for honoring and helping other soldiers and their families. “Brian wouldn’t have wanted to be honored at all,” she said. “He just wanted to do his job. He would say, ‘Autumn, who else needs help?’ That’s what he did.”

The prez race of all time? Whatever else is said, this may be the most unique presidential election cycle in our lifetime. We have seen that the Republicans really are the party of the Big Tent. The tent got so big, in fact, those that thought they were in charge of the tent found themselves being pushed out the front flap. The Republicans began with 17 contenders: one establishment type backed by big donors; one successful businesswoman; one brilliant, African-American surgeon; two sons of immigrants who are Latino; and then the senators and governors and a billionaire capitalist. Not the usual suspects. Republicans didn’t get any credit for diversity. We have seen the silent majority give up on the powers that be - the “establishment” - and look for an outsider. As soon as a candidate gained establishment support, his numbers dropped like a stone. Then there are the Democrats: an anointed nominee-to-be and an old Socialist, who was allowed to compete under the Democrats’ banner to create the illusion of a race. But, suddenly, it became a real race as the harmless, old Socialist became a raging tiger with his own supporters that have also given up on their “establishment.” The angst of the silent majority and the alienation of the young created the rise of outsider candidates. Now, America is seeing for the first time the arcane and convoluted convention rules put in place by the establishment just in case, this whole democracy thing got out of hand. To paraphrase a famous actress, fasten your seatbelts; it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Luci Snyder is a Carmel resident and a former member of the Carmel City Council.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Economic engines of today Commentary by Terry Anker The Kentucky Derby is a horse race. The Indianapolis 500 is an auto race. The Super Bowl is a football game. While each of these is a true statement, it would be a gross mischaracterization to consider them to have been complete in their assessments of the various events. Individually, they have become their own spectaculars. They are enormous economic engines – driving everything from local hotel room revenue to, at nearby homes, lawn parking opportunities. They bring scads of less- tangible bragging rights to the communities that welcome the proceedings. In some cases, almost non-stop media coverage delivers millions of dollars of attention to that city. We clean things up at home before we invite company in for a party. Yet, as the frenzy reaches its zenith, have we lost track of the original objective? Or in adding half-time shows, hat-parades and snake-pit balls, are we simply expanding the

reach to include more members of our communities who might otherwise be uninspired by a sporting event? Some would argue the competing objectives incompatible – they grumble about gadflies who are only interested in celebrity sightings and wouldn’t know a carburetor from a filly. Maybe they have a point. But, can’t we allow for both perspectives to hold sway? Can’t we hope for the brackish water between the points of view that will help us find better understanding? As we Hoosiers prepare to host the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500, consider attending a new event. Consider participating in a different way. If cars don’t interest, – this year, learn one thing about the machines. And if snake pits sound unappealing, well, buy an anti-venom. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Q U O T E  O F  T HE  W EEK Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.

– Vince Lombardi

As the school year draws to a close, let us re-visit one last parenting skill that some of you still have yet to master, humor even though you’ve had 10, long months of practice. I’m speaking, obviously, of the carpool line. Please take note. My already fragile sanity can’t withstand any more parking-lot shenanigans. 1. Recognize that there is a carpool line. Every time, for every event. If you don’t see it immediately upon arrival, that’s because you are the first, and as such, will be despised by everyone else. Find the pick-up zone, pull through and turn off the engine! Your gas-guzzling Suburban poisons my kid’s air when you idle for 20 minutes. 2. For the normal parent who arrives within a reasonable window of time, simply go to the end of the line. Avoid blocking parked cars, entrances and exits, and oncoming traffic. (I’ve actually seen this happen.) Occasionally you’ll be required to execute a U-turn to join in; please do so with competence. 3. Pay attention! These things can move like lightening once kids emerge. You need to be ready to pull forward at a moment’s notice. If you’re texting your bestie about brunch and miss your cue, I will honk at you. 4. Have your doors unlocked and preferably open so as to expedite loading. Instruct your passengers to dive in as soon as you slow down. Speed is important at this juncture; there’s no time for stowing backpacks or stopping. Rock and roll, people! 5. Don’t start a conversation with another adult out your window! I sat behind someone the other day for two minutes while she yakked it up (and her offspring struggled to get the trunk open. See No. 4). My welltrained daughter was standing by at the ready, but Social Butterfly was blocking our exit. Carpool lines are a necessary evil, but they don’t have to be a nightmare. Just follow the rules!

Anybody can help Commentary by Pastor Mike Colaw Most people are lost when it comes to the growing mental health mental health problem. All the way through school, I heard one common theme when it came to counseling: refer. As ministerial students, we were essentially taught that we are unqualified to help people with mental health problems because we lack doctorates in psychology or psychiatry and so we should just pass them along to the professionals. So that’s exactly what an army of “well trained” young leaders, including myself, have done. In a culture of “elite specialists,” most have abdicated themselves from helping people in need. We don’t do anything with mental health because we were taught not to. After nearly 17 years in ministry, here is the problem: very few actually go get professional help when it’s recommended. Either they can’t afford the “real” help or they are too embarrassed to embrace it, so they live with a growing addiction, depression or anxiety until it’s too late. Even the average person feels unqualified to help a friend or family member that’s struggling, so if nearly everyone is unqualified to help someone then functionally many are getting little to no help at all. A dangerous self-fulfilling prophecy is hap-

pening. As we turn away from those in need, our knowledge of how to help people and be comfortable around them decreases. We are actually becoming less qualified. I have a theory. I know it may sound strange, but I think average people can help. I believe we need to adopt a new approach concerning mental health in communities. • Engage, especially if you call yourself a Christian. Instead of survival of the fittest, we should take on a Jesus-centered approach where the fittest help the “least of these.” Christians are called to minister to those in need. • Learn from experts, but don’t leave them with all the work. If someone close to you is getting professional help, go with them and ask what you can do to assist. • Become aware of community support groups and encourage people to attend them. • Widen your perspective of what “normal” is. The reality is some of the most amazing people in history were autistic, OCD, or even bi-polar. I believe when you support “abnormal” people, you can release something abnormally beautiful.

A question of character Commentary by Rev. Michael VandenBerg The question that continually comes to mind during election season is, religion “Where is the character factor in our political process?” It used to be that when a person of character would emerge in the political arena, people would flock to them. People could see the character qualities clearly and distinctly, and they weren’t hidden behind a strategy of do anything to win. There is something powerful in the truth that we, in our hectic over-stimulated culture, miss these days. We complain that bad behavior is all too rampant, then rant and rave at our neighbor. We want a more civil election cycle, but then focus our conversations on the sensational and dramatic. When Jesus spoke, the comment that many of his day made was that this was unlike any leader they had ever known. He spoke with such authority and knowing. He could shake up the lowliest of followers and the greatest of rulers, all by never wavering from the truth he came to

speak. The other part of his character that was unmistakable was that his very life was a testament to his message and vice versa. Someone whose message is consistent with their behavior will always emerge as a true leader. Perhaps the best first step in reclaiming character in our leaders today is not in decrying their message or behavior, but in ourselves being the best example of character we can be and expecting, and even demanding, it from our leaders. Let’s expect from our leaders character that we both hope for and deserve. Let’s expect leaders to be people who bridge the gaps and bring us together and not drive us apart by vilifying our fellow citizens. Rev. Michael VandenBerg is the pastor of Hope Community Church, a congregation of the Christian Reformed Church, and a community consultant for City in the Church Consulting. He and his wife Nancy have been Indiana residents for more than 17 years and Indianapolis residents since 2008. He can be contacted at office@indyhopecrc.org.

Can current expansion endure? Commentary by Joe Clark Today’s market environment ranks among the longer bull markets in economy history, prompting many professional investors to reduce equity exposure and in some cases even move to cash. Indeed the market is more expensive today based on price to earnings ratios compared to 1996, when Alan Greenspan uttered the phrase “irrational exuberance.” But then again, the late 1990s market marched forward for three more years before dramatically correcting. The recent sentiment reading from Barons found the most bearish results in the last 20 years, with more than two-thirds of professional investors expecting more downside risk. But that finding is actually good news! When people are content, they have all their money invested – until something happens to prompt them to sell stock, thus driving the stock market down. But when people are sitting on cash, they can put their money to work driving the market higher. A few weeks ago, the total return for the S&P 500 actually hit a record high, yet $4.5 billion flowed out of equity ETFs and mutual

funds that week. Money flows have been negative in 13 of the past 16 weeks; longer than any period in the Great Recession of 2007-2009. The bearish sentiment stems in part from valuation, but also considers the duration of an economy’s expansion. Prior to the World Wars and the U.S. economy’s growth driven by manufacturing, the nation tended to slip into recession more frequently. Looking at history since the mid-century, we see a different story emerge. There have been three expansions longer than the current one. The 1991-2001 expansion was the longest, followed by 1961-1969 and 1982-1990. Is the market primed for a correction? Possibly. But there is also a chance that correction could present a buying opportunity. Keep in mind that markets and economies are two distinct beasts.

Task force meets for quarterly progress reports By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Members of the Fishers Mental Health Task Force gathered at mental health city hall last month for their first quarterly progress meeting, led by Mayor Scott Fadness and Fire Chief Steve Orusa. “The point of these meetings really is to just touch base and make sure we're holding each other accountable,” Fadness said. “I'm really excited about the progress we're making. I think we are doing something substantive here.” The task force’s goals include public awareness and anti-stigma campaigns plus some level of training in dealing with mental health issues for the city’s teachers, coaches, police officers and firefighters and including as many mental healthcare providers as possible. “When we started this initiative, we had limited knowledge of even who the help providers were in the field of mental health. I think we've made a lot of progress with that and understanding the different stakeholders and building new relationships,” Fadness

said. “Our strategy right now is we're telling our story of what we want to accomplish and we're telling the mental health community, 'You tell us where you think you plug into that.' They're the professionals in the field, so we're really looking to them. “I think people are aware we are trying to do something collective in the area,” he added. “I see the intelligence reports from the police department. There are still people out there really suffering, so we need to help them as much as humanly possible.”

‘Bat Boy’ now on stage at TOTS By Zach Dunkin • editorial@youarecurrent.com With directorship of “Miss Gulch Returns,” “Holy Ficus,” “The Great Bike Race” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” theater on his résumé, it’s no surprise director Zack Neiditch is taking on “Bat Boy: The Musical,” running through May 21 at Theatre on the Square. “I love this musical,” Neiditch said. “It’s wellmade and fast and funny, and I love its sense humor. So much of my own work tends to be stuff that; on the surface, it can seem a little silly or campy, but once you crack into it, you see something more to it.” In the musical’s book, written by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming in 1997, Bat Boy (played by Justin Klein) is discovered in a cave and taken to the town veterinarian, Dr. Parker (Dave Ruark). He eventually is accepted as a member of the Parker family and taught to act like a “normal” boy by the vet’s wife, Meredith (Mindy Morton), and teenage daughter, Shelley (Devan Mathias). Shelley and Bat Boy fall in love, run away together and have a blissful coupling in the woods. But their happiness is shattered when Meredith arrives and reveals a secret that – spoiler alert – she’s Bat Boy’s mother.

“I think people accept this show because it’s so funny,” Neiditch said. “What gets people into the theater is, like, ‘Really? A musical about Bat Boy? Okay, let’s try it.’ And then once they’re in for the ride, they’re smacked with catchy song after song and then left with an actual emotional journey at the end.” The musical originally was written for a cast of 10 people to play all 22 roles. During its first run at TOTS, the traditional casting is followed, with the four Parkers and the other six actors managing everything else. “So, the men wear dresses and the ladies don beards, and there’s just nothing better,” Nieditch said.

Bartenders reunite at Prime 47 By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Catherine Federspiel made the switch from Ruth’s Chris Steak House – then at 96th Street and Keystone Parkway – dining three years ago. She settled into Prime 47 in Carmel and all was well, but she was missing her work partner, Bobby Hodge, who remained at Ruth’s Chris Steak House for another three years. After the steakhouse moved into the Ironworks development at 86th Street and Keystone Parkway, Hodge decided to follow his long-time friend over to Prime 47 last month. Hodge served at Ruth’s Chris for just shy of 17 years, but he admitted the transition to Prime 47 was easy. He chalked that up to Federspiel. “My wife calls Cat my work wife,” he said, laughing. “One of the big reasons I came here is because I’m with somebody who I know has got my back.” “We work really well together,” Federspiel added. “People from the past have come over here now because, not only am I here, but he’s here, too. Somebody said (having us both here) was like Christmas.”

Bobby Hodge and Catherine Federspiel are now both bartenders at Prime 47 in Carmel after working together at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Indianapolis for a decade. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

The pair normally works together Thursday through Saturday evenings. They both admit that Prime 47 is similar to a “Cheers”-type bar. “We care about what happens in our guests’ families and their lives,” Federspiel said. “We send them cards and birthday stuff.” “We get to know the guest; we talk to them about them,” Hodge added. “We let them in our lives, too. It’s more of a family.”

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is one of the most beautiful and peaceful cities travel in modern Europe. Ironically, the city’s name has long been associated with a brutal way of settling religious scores. Prague was founded in the ninth century on a hill that now includes the largest castle complex in the world. In approximately 1402, Jan Hus, a Prague priest, began preaching against what he saw as the excesses of the Roman Catholic Church. After Catholics burned Hus at the stake for heresy in 1415, his “Hussite” followers continued advocating for religious reforms. In 1419, a group of Hussites marched to Prague’s New Town Hall, which had been built southeast of the original city by Charles IV, the King of Bohemia. The marchers demanded the release of sympathizers being held prisoner by local officials. When someone inside threw a rock, the Hussites stormed the building and New Town Hall in Prague. (Photo by Don Knebel) tossed the chief magistrate and out the window.
