State of the County covers roads, tourism By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com With more than 200 in attendance, Noblesville Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bob DuBois said the organizagovernment tion’s Jan. 27 luncheon was the largest crowd on record for the monthly events. This one served as the annual State of the County address by Hamilton Co. Commissioner Steven Dillinger. Dillinger’s lighthearted address lasted nearly an hour and covered many topics recapping 2015, focusing on finances, public safety and roads. FINANCES Starting the address with the budget, Dillinger said the 2015 county budget was $153,121,000, but actual dollars spent were $132,853,000, resulting in an approximate $20.3 million surplus. Overall, the county general fund, COIT (county option income tax) fund and rainy day fund make for a $55,431,000 surplus for the county. ROADS AND HIGHWAYS 146th Street: Spring Mill Road to Boone Co. – With phase one complete, Dillinger said, “phase two will be finished in the spring of 2018 … When this is completed, you’ll be able to get off (U.S.) 65 and take 146th Street all the way to (Ind.) 69.” 146th Street to Keystone Avenue – “You weren’t able to get south on Keystone to 146th, and that was very problematic,” Dillinger said. “We were able to get some federal funds, and we’re going to do this project. It’s projected to be done at the end of 2019. That is at 146th Street and Lowes Way. You’ll be able to go over a bridge and get on an access on Keystone, or you’ll be able to go on Range Line Road and go into Carmel that way. So that’s going to give a lot more connectivity in our community.” PUBLIC SAFETY Public safety training facility – Dillinger was quick to boast the county’s four nationally accredited police departments in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and the Hamilton Co. Sheriff’s Office. He continued, saying Hamilton Co. is the most affluent, successful, forward-thinking county in the state, but, within its borders, does not have

a state-of-the-art firearms range for police and sheriff training, an emergency vehicle operations course or a live fire training tower for firefighters. Plans for such a training facility to include these things was voted against by four county councilors, despite being endorsed by all three county commissioners, all mayors and city and town councils, all township trustees and boards and all police and fire chiefs. “Real-life training in live, controlled conditions is very necessary,” Dillinger said. “If you don’t think that’s important, let your house catch on fire tomorrow and see how important you think it is.” Dillinger didn’t hesitate to criticize the councilors who voted against the county’s $3 million contribution, presenting within his slideshow a photo of the council with councilors Paul Ayers, Brad Beaver, Fred Glynn and Rick McKinney circled in red. Those who voted for the training
facility (Jim Belden, Amy Massillamany and Steve Schwartz) were circled in green on a later slide. Dillinger said, at least for now, the council’s decision has killed the project. TOURISM Discussing the the 2013-14 economic impact of tourism in Hamilton County, Dillinger said tourism spending had increase 4.8 percent to $641 million, direct tourism employment had increased 2.4 percent to 10,250, tourism-related taxes had increased 4 percent to $86 million, growth and visitor spending to $173 million, and hotel demand increased 10 percent in the past two years. “I’m talking about the (Nickel Plate) Amphitheatre, Klipsch (Music Center), The Palladium, Conner Prairie, and probably most of all right now, Grand Park in Westfield,” Dillinger said.

Carmel church plans move
WE WILL PAY $1,000 REFERRAL FEE FOR ANYONE REFERRING A CUSTOMER THAT CONTRACTS TO BUILD A HOUSE IN NORTHWALK!
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Fifteen years ago, Central Christian Church purchased some land in Westfield with plans to migrate in that direction relocation as development increased to the north and west of the current location, 1242 W. 136th St., Carmel. The congregation almost moved in 2008, but because of the economy, the church decided the time wasn’t right. Now, the plans are becoming reality as the church hopes to break ground late 2016. A concert will be held at East Street Studios, 18880 East St., in Westfield to celebrate the progress the church has made. “I’m using where we’ve gotten to with the church as a celebration, and the move is actually something that’s been growing in me,” said Lisa Gibson, member of Central Christian Church and organizer of the concert. “With Pastor Graham’s help and other people here within the church, it’s a ministry I’ve had a dream for.” The concert will include contemporary Christian artists Josh Wilson, Jason Gray and JJ Heller. East Street Studios holds between 600 and 1,000 people, and tickets will sell for $15. The timeline for the new church includes

constructing the building on the 82 acres of land the church purchased, and then proceeding to sell approximately 60 of those acres. “There are lots of reasons it’s been a longstanding plan for this congregation,” Senior Minister Graham Richards said. “As the towns have been growing out that way, that’s where God wants us to be, lots of new subdivisions and people moving in the area, and it seems unrepresented for churches.” The concert will be 6 p.m. March 3. Tickets can be purchased at ccccarmel.org.

Bill Clark attributes his long life to keeping busy. Clark, who turned 96 Nov. profile 13, didn’t retire until he was 80 and still mows his yard. He has lived in Carmel for more than 50 years and is a creature of habit. He and his daughter, Cathy, 59, have lunch each day at MCL. He goes to Butler Barber Shop in Carmel every three weeks on Monday to get his hair cut by Bill Dennis, 77. A Westfield resident, Dennis used to have his shop in the Home Place area and Clark would come in there. Clark was drafted in 1942 and entered the Air Force, which was a part of U.S. Army at the time. It became a separate branch in 1947, and Clark got out in 1949. He was stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska, for two years during World War II, working as a mechanic. “That was rough enough. That was pretty rough country,” said Clark, who was also stationed in Arizona and California. Clark said there was thick ice on the shower walls. “You had to watch if you were naked you could get cut on the walls,” he said. Clark began his career at Allison Transmis-

Gallagher receives athlete award By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Quinn Gallagher began running in fifth grade after he tried football a few years previous and the sport didn’t work running out. Now, he was named as the Athlete of the Year through USA Track and Field for the U13 and U14 boys group. Quinn, 14, also runs cross country at Guerin Catholic High School. He won at the regionals in Indiana for USATF and during the nationals in Albuquerque, N.M., Quinn placed as All-American, running the 4K in approximately 13 miunutes and 20 seconds. A committee through USATF looked at the runners over the season and determined who received the Athlete of the Year based on performance and other criteria. “It’s a great award for him in terms of where he’s come from and where he wants to go,” Quinn’s father, Tom, said. “He went from improving all season and all summer and had a great high school season during his first year as a freshman. To cap the year with a cross country award was a great motivator and great indicator of all the hard work he’s put in over the years.” Tom said Quinn is planning on reaching the state meet in his high school cross country

team next year and also plans on running in college. “He started out trying to play football in third grade, and that didn’t work out well, so in fifth grade he started cross country at Mount Carmel just for fun and he kept getting better from there,” Tom said. “After his eighth grade season and during the summer before his freshman year, he made a huge jump and became pretty good.” Last month, Quinn went to an award ceremony with USATF downtown to receive his Athlete of the Year award.

The Westfield Washington Historical Society begins displays to showcase Westfield’s history
From left, Jim Peyton, Steve Osborne and Diana Peyton chat on the bench below the display window.
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For a Westfield citizen to learn more about the city’s history, they just have to step into the Westfield Washingcover story ton Historical Society to get the information. However, the society is making the historical learning process easier by setting up window displays with viewing from the street. Currently, a display case appreciating the Westfield firefighters past and present is set up. The society’s current home was previously known as Westfield’s volunteer fire station, and Diana Peyton, secretary, said the display is very close to the staff’s hearts. “I worked for the city for 20 years, and the fire department is very near and dear to our hearts, and for us to be in this building is just really, really special,” she said. “They volunteer a lot, they do a lot for the community and they save lives. They’re just a bunch of very good guys.” The firefighter artifacts were mostly donated by Gary Sutherland, a retired firefighter. The firefighter display is the WWHS’s second window display. The historical society began
their display project by competing for the Merchant Light Competition, which was a light display for Westfield in Lights during Christmastime. WWHS won the competition and received a plaque for its efforts. “We are going to use displays up front every three months. We started with Westfield in Lights in the window, and it turned out so well that the group decided they would continue to use the display,” said Jim Peyton, the society’s immediate past president. “Every three months, we are going to have a new one. The second one we decided to do was to honor the fire department.” The society also chose the fire department display in hopes of convincing the city to include the old fire station in the Grand Junction revitalization plan. “All my boys were volunteer firefighters here from their high school days on and stayed until they became paid firemen,” said
Steve Osborne, the society’s current president. “What really hurts is the fact that this building has been a part of the town for the last nearly 100 years, and it’s not part of the expanded new downtown Westfield. I think it ought to be saved somehow.” The next display the group has planned will be to honor the 2016 high school graduates and will include items from the school system’s history such as letter jackets and yearbooks. “I think the window displays will give the citizens something to be proud of when they go up to look at it and learn a lot,” Jim said. “We will keep coming up with ideas, and they can go and look at it as a window to the past, or it can be a window to the future.” The society has also pitched ideas for showing Westfield’s modern progressions, such as maps of Grand Park. “We just like it to be a resource for the

community, and we are deep into history here with the Underground Railroad, and hopefully the citizens go by the display and enjoy it,” Diana said. “This is our history. This belongs to the city of Westfield, and that’s part of our strategic plan, to restore and keep the history and protect the history of Westfield.”

The items include old fire extinguishers, toy fire trucks, turnout gear, axes, current staff list of the Westfield firefighters, helmets, toy Dalmatians and more. Where to see it: 145 S. Union St. The display window will be lit at night. Hours: The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays for those who want to see the interior. Website: www.wwhs.us

We respectfully ask you to participate – it takes seven to 10 minutes – so that we may gain an understanding of whether reader interests have changed since we last commissioned such a study. That was three years ago, and those 36 months comprise the shelf life of research. You’ve read this before, but this is your newspaper. We aim to provide you the news and information that will most benefit you as a resident of our community. The most accurate and unbiased way for us to do it is to continually update our data, hence the SMARI project. At Current, news is what our readers say it is. We’re eager to find out what the market wants, and, rest assured, we will deliver on those wishes. ••• While chuckling over the New Hampshire backslide suffered by Sen. Marco Rubio (RFla.) - which means, thankfully, the Republican Party’s “establishment candidate” has a fullfledged uphill battle on his hands - it occurred to us that the Democratic Party learned that its voters, at least, prefer truth. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) was dominated by Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) in the Granite State. It blew our minds that trustworthiness and truthfulness suddenly matter to the Democratic masses. We’re not Sanders supporters, but we do want to see, more than anything else, Clinton made a non-factor in the political arena forevermore.

Ruined by success Commentary by Terry Anker Success hasn’t ruined us yet – at least that is what we hope. We move forward in life ever concerned of failure. Some of us even become so thin-skinned as to achieve hyper-sensitivity to perceived criticism of our own short-comings. Indeed, it is the rare human who dispassionately reviews one’s own accomplishments. Did we “earn” this accolade? Did “we” make it happen? Most human achievement comes from collaboration. Sure, a good leader independently can move the ball significantly. And, one might argue, the team cannot win without a stellar quarterback. But how do we account for the personal contribution that we’ve made without assuming that our participation was seminal? How do we avoid the overconfidence that is often fostered, some might argue fomented, by triumph? The pages of this newspaper, like the homes and businesses in this community, are filled with good people who are striving to improve their lives and the lives for whom they care. We aggressively pursue
education. We work hard. We think, read, and talk at rates unrivaled in our state and on par with some of the best on the national and international stages. Confidence is required to fuel this endeavoring. Scientific studies prove people seldom pursue objectives they believe beyond their capacity. So how do we manage to remain sufficiently self-assured to push our limits without becoming so arrogant as to tempt spectacular failure? Certainly, we must remain vigilant of ourselves. Ask hard questions, and don’t take a pass for bad behavior. Too, isn’t subjecting one’s self to a higher authority a guard against conceit? Religious faith, a mentor of consequence, an old and trusted friend – each can urge us to challenge our own suppositions. If success is as dangerous as failure, shouldn’t we be as suspicious of it?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible. – Albert Einstein
At this point in my parenting career, I’ve cheered for a kid in just about every type of sport. And though humor I’ve never had to endure a 15-inning baseball game or clavicle-breaking hockey match, when you consider my almost-professional grade status as a dance mom, you can easily label me as a seasoned sideliner. I know exactly the right protocol for field seating, how to subversively seek out like-minded parents, and when to show up with a Diet Coke versus an MRE. But yesterday was a new experience for me, as I attended my first ever Color Guard competition. (And let’s be clear – Color Guard is absolutely an athletic team. Any activity where a child can be concussed by a flying wooden rifle if the thrower lacks arm strength, hand-eye coordination and endurance is a sport in my book. ‘Nough said.) The first thing I appreciated was that I didn’t have to drive my daughter; she rode the team bus. All I had to do was show up, pay the $6 admission fee and locate the gigantic-cupcake-offering concession stand. So far, so good. But then an elderly woman refused to let me enter the gym. “A school is performing, ma’am. You have to wait until they’re finished.” What? I’d cut my time short thinking they’d run behind, but this was Color Guard. Military precision was kinda their thing. As I stood cursing my poor judgement and contemplating the overpowering of one blue hair, she finally opened the door. Another group was folding their tarp and I could see my daughter’s team approach the floor. I quickly found a seat and surveyed my surroundings. Maybe a hundred parents, but not a sign, pom or bedazzled tee in sight. Note to self: Leave air-horn in purse; not that kind of crowd. The announcer introduced their number; they danced, tossed and spun for about five minutes; and then it was over. I left. I literally got in, got out, and no one got hurt. How do I feel about indoor, on-time, fast Color Guard competitions? Flags down, they’re my new favorite! Peace out.

It’s a brew ha ha Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I like to read newspaper articles containing the words “exercise” or “workout” in the headline, hoping research will humor prove the whole thing is actually bad for you. In the early 1900s, scientists divided people into two groups to compare their relative health. Half exercised daily or had jobs that required physical exertion. All those people are dead now. So, there you go. A new study claims beer drinkers exercise on a more regular basis, but scientists caution people not to misunderstand these findings. A jogger might assume that a positive correlation between exercising and drinking serves as an excuse to overindulge. This could result in a serious running problem. The volunteers installed an app on their smart phones to document when they imbibed and when they exercised. This generated false data because, after a few drinks, a lot of the subjects clicked on the wrong icon and ended up playing a really lousy round of Angry Birds. Also, people drank more than usual on the day they went to the gym … which may explain why I can’t remember the last time I exercised.
I’d suggest careful attention to your choice of libation during your workout routine. If you are jumping rope, opt for a nice, hoppy ale. An ice-cold draft seems appropriate while running a winter marathon. If you are trying to add some bulk to your frame, then enjoy a hearty stout. Attempting to break a world record for push-ups? A Guinness, of course. Okay, that was way too many examples. In more news, a pub owner in Wisconsin sponsors a weekly meet-up called Butts and Beers. Following aerobic activities, he provides a wide selection of local brews. The annual shindig is a 5K run, but it’s only a hundredyard dash. (The K stands for Keg.) Finally, there’s a new sports drink called Lean Machine. It’s basically beer with less alcohol. A growing number of fitness buffs are drinking this stuff just to be hip. Who can resist beer pressure?

Craig Wood (right) with his father, Bill, on their farm. (Submitted photo)
Farm transforms to Grand Park By Zach Burton • news@currentinwestfield.com Imagine a time when farms dominated the landscape of Westfield. Bill Wood began back in the day farming in Westfield in 1941 on land just south of 191st Street and west of U.S. 31. Over the next few decades, the Wood farm grew to include roughly 500 acres, producing corn and grain, as well as livestock, particularly beef and pork. During his time farming, Bill saw the transition from draft horse power to tractor power, the introduction of hybrid seed corn, advanced tilling practices, the introduction of herbicides and the transition from single-row corn pickers to harvesters capable of gathering six to eight rows at a time. “To witness that and be a part of that is pretty amazing and significant,” Bill’s son, Craig Wood, said about the transformations. Craig joined the family farm after graduating from Purdue with a degree in agriculture in 1978.

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, developers began eyeing Westfield as the next major housing market. After eight or 10 different builders had approached the family with proposals, Craig and his family began thinking about how the sale of their land could serve a larger goal than to simply create another housing addition or shopping center. “We had enough acreage that we knew whatever was going to go in, it should be something pretty significant because that was going to be our family’s legacy.” When the concept of Grand Park was introduced, the Wood family offered to sell their land for the development of the nearly 400acre youth sports campus. “I get a little emotional thinking about it,” he said. “The day before the groundbreaking, I walked around that ground because I knew it was going to change.” Craig and his wife, Sandy, still run a small farming operation on the remaining land near Grand Park selling mostly freezer beef and pork.

“Where’s Amy?” was rocking and rolling out to the tunes from “Grease” at Bella Vita Lakeside’s new bar, “The Waterline,” in Geist. Daryl Randall surprised his wife Alyona Yakovleva-Randall (Indiana Ballet Conservatory founding artistic director) with a 40th birthday bash with more than 150 friends and family. Guests included Richard and Donna Deer, Alpha Blackburn and Vern Fleming of the Pacers. Friends dressed the part wearing black leather and pink satin jackets to celebrate Alyona’s favorite movie of all time, “Grease.” Bella Vita Lakeside General Manger Corey Bensley and Operations Manager Jimmy Burgess made sure everyone felt like they were at home and served specialty drinks and delicious food off their new menu. Yep, it’s safe to say the night was filled with chills that were multiplying, and the power was electrifying! Happy Birthday to “Where’s Amy?” pink lady pal Alyona, and fire up for many more parties and events to come. “Where’s Amy?” can’t wait to see you there!

‘Killer Joe’ to play at TOTS By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Acclaimed playwright Tracy Letts’ first piece, “Killer Joe,” will make an appearance at Theatre on the Square, 627 theatre Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis, Feb. 19 to March 5. The west Dallas family lives in a trailer home and struggles severely with money. The son and father decide to kill the mother to be able to dip into her insurance settlement. Killer Joe, a detective by day who moonlights as a murderer, is hired to kill the mother. “It’s tragic, but it’s also hilarious because these are people who are not super educated at all, and they will probably never get out of that trailer,” Director Lori Raffel said. “This is the one hope they have to go somewhere and to get out.” Raffel said the play is definitely rated R, with strong language and some sexual content. She also said the main reason she can pull off directing the play is due to her actors. “It’s really an important piece because Tracy Letts is amazing, and I just think it’s such an important piece of theatre,” she said. “Most people don’t do it, or don’t even think about doing it, because it is so hard to do. First of all, you have to get some amazing actors because

they have to be fearless and do everything these characters do, which is basically fighting for their lives in this trailer with Killer Joe.” Raffel spent nine months recruiting the actors for the play. The play will be set in a cabaret-style, so the audience feels as if they are really involved in the family’s trailer. “The toughest part is getting people to care about these characters, it’s hard to get someone to care about this family that’s planning on killing their mother,” Raffel said.

Jenkins returns to performing

PRESENTED BY
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Erica Jenkins figured it was time to get back to her musical roots. “I can hear myself telling my music boys to follow their dreams and do what you are passionate about,” she said. “I felt I abandoned what I thought is me, and I’m not going to let that happen.” Jenkins, a Carmel resident, will perform a cabaret-style show called “Songs that Speak” at 7 p.m. Feb. 18 at the Studio Theatre in Carmel’s Center for the Performing Arts. “This is my re-entry into performing,” Jenkins said. “These are songs that speak to me and are a vehicle for my career.” Getting ready for the performance seems right to Jenkins. “This is a passion that you just can’t shake,” she said. Joining Jenkins in the performance for a couple of songs will be Indianapolis resident Deb Wims and Ball State student Laura Merida, from Vincennes. “I invited someone from my past and someone I feel has a remarkable future,” said Jenkins, who plans to perform favorites from musicals such as “Wicked” and “Les Miserables.” Jenkins, 36, has been a stay at-home mother for the past four years for her sons Layton, 4, and Liam, 2. Layton is Jenkins’ maiden name. She grew up in Columbus, Ind., and studied musical theater at Vincennes University. She was Miss Vincennes University and competed in Miss Indiana pageant. Jenkins won the Miss Indiana talent competition and was a finalist. She performed a few shows in Chicago and several at Beef and Boards in Indianapolis. Her

final show was “Cats” at Beef and Boards in 2004. While performing in Indianapolis, she started teaching with her former music teacher. “I fell in love with teaching kids more than doing it myself,” Jenkins said. “So I opened a performing arts studio (Elite Performance) in Columbus in 2004.” Jenkins continued teaching and commuting from Indianapolis until she was having her first baby. While raising her sons, Jenkins does not want to go back to doing shows that are several nights a week. “The goal is to create new opportunities like this show,” she said. Tickets are $20.

A fun spin on mac and cheese Commentary by Ceci Martinez Our freshman college son came to visit for the winter break and my husband and I were so much looking forward to this special family moment. I asked my son to show up what he could cook. This was a wonderful and fun way to connect with him and for sure we will always remember the closeness and joy from this special time! BROCCOLI MAC AND CHEESE Serves: 5 to 6 Ingredients: 1 pound elbow macaroni, 2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped broccoli florets, 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons for bread topping, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 cups whole milk, 1 tablespoon ground mustard, 3 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated, Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for topping, 1/3 cup fresh or dried plain bread crumbs Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

to prevent scorching. Reduce heat to low, add mustard and cheddar cheese, whisk until most of the cheese has melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the sauce and one cup parmigiano to pasta, mixing to coat pasta evenly. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, melt remaining two tablespoons of butter. Stir in the bread crumbs and scatter them over the top. Grate a little more cheese over the top. Bake until the sauce is bubbly, top is golden brown and crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Six secrets to snow shoveling Commentary by Tiffany Thacker Shoveling snow is a wintertime activity that can quickly result in back injuries and pain. Without proper technique, winter bending, lifting and scooping heavy snow can cause stress on the spine and supporting muscles and may result in injury. Preventing back injuries is much easier than treating back pain. The following tips can help dig out without throwing your back out. 1. The equipment you use can help minimize injury. Choose a shovel with a good ergonomic design. A shovel with a contoured handle can minimize bending and stooping. Instead of lifting the snow, consider pushing the snow with the shovel. 2. The right footwear can make or break you. Having a boot or shoe with good tread is important to prevent slipping. 3. Warm up for shoveling. Do some gentle stretches to loosen your muscles. Dress warmly because cold, tight muscles are more prone to muscle strain and injury. 4. Minimize slippery conditions by throwing sand, rock salt or kitty litter on areas where you are working. This will de-
crease the risk of falls. 5. Pace yourself and take frequent breaks. Spread out your shoveling over a longer period of time, removing small amounts of snow frequently. When snow is deep, remove only a few inches of depth at a time. 6. Use good body mechanics. Always face the direction you are shoveling. Keep hands about 12 inches apart. Push the snow whenever possible. If you have to lift, bend at the hips and push your chest out; then to lift the load, bending at your knees and lifting with your leg muscles while keeping your back straight. Back injuries and back pain are very common. Approximately 80 percent of Americans seeking treatment for it at some point during their lifetimes. If you find yourself experiencing back pain, call the Spine Center at IU Health North for an evaluation: 317.688.BACK (2225).

Many are familiar with the Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream restaurants in Carmel, Zionsville and Bloomington, as well new biz as Bub’s Café near the Carmel location. Bub’s Burgers, 960 Tournament Trail, Westfield, is the same concept but with faster service. The business arrived to the city late last year and owner Matt Frey said the first few months the business was open has been a success. “For years, my wife and I have considered going to fast, casual counter service, and when the industry started trending that way, we thought it was the best time to do it,” Frey said. “We started scouting locations and with Grand Park and the popularity of the park, Westfield needed more restaurants, and we found this great opportunity up here in Westfield.” The business officially opened Dec. 14. With the 2,600-square-foot building, Bub’s Burgers can minimize labor and operational costs but continue to use the same quality products that have been implemented in other restaurants. Frey said some are disappointed Bub’s Burgers does not have the same extensive menu as other locations. Although the burgers are still made with ground chuck, and the buns are fresh baked at Lucy’s Bakery in Indi-

anapolis – also owned by the Freys – the average cook time at Bub’s Burgers in Westfield is eight minutes, compared to 20 minutes at the Carmel location due to the limited menu. The quicker cook times are also a plus when teams filter in from Grand Park. “If you’re in between games and only have an hour, you will go to the fastest place,” Frey said. “If you want good quality food, the fast food is okay, but it’s not fresh baked buns and ground chuck. We are the real deal. Hopefully people realize that whether they are local or sports teams visiting town.” Bub’s Burgers in Westfield is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Two local beers are served on tap. To view the menu or to learn more, visit www.bubsburgers.com.

Union Baking owners buy B&B By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com For years, Union Baking Co. perched on the corner of Union Street and Ind. 32 in downtown Westfield before movdiversion ing down the road to 303 E. Main St. for more space to offer breakfast and lunch options as well as its bakery goods. Yet, the bakery won’t reopen its doors after the month’s hiatus in January. Instead, the couple that owns the bakery, Joe and Kelly Quinn, purchased the Old Towne Bed and Breakfast in Carmel. The couple’s catering business, JET Inflight Catering, which caters for Indianapolis aircraft, has taken off, as there are no other businesses like it in the area. “While the bakery was doing well, catering was blowing up, and it’s literally just the two of us,” he said. “It got to the point we were working 12 to 15 hours a day, six to seven days a week, so it was very tiring but it seemed that the direction of business was going more toward the catering side of things.” The Quinns said the decision was very bittersweet, as they would miss the Westfield customers, but it was the right decision for the long run and their plans to start a family. “We are keeping it as it is,” Joe said of Old Towne Bed and Breakfast. “The ownership is

There’s only 24 hours in a day, and this will make lives a lot easier and more profitable, too.” The Quinns plan on continuing the baking side of Union Baking Co. through special orders of cupcakes, cakes and cookies, as well as being involved in some farmers markets around the city. To order custom bakery items, email the Quinns at info@unionbakingco.com. “We are definitely going to keep Union alive. We are just changing some things,” Joe said.

Blueprint for Improvement: Chic basement lounge Commentary by Larry Greene
After solutions:
After
The goal was to achieve an engaging room to enjoy with family and friends. 1. The structural beam in the bar area was enclosed with rich, dark wood creating an architectural feature within the space. 2. New cabinetry was installed to feature bottles and glasses. 3. A built-in taps system was installed allowing the homeowners to keep their favorite beer on tap. 4. Two TVs were installed providing the perfect space for game day. 5. The built-in entertainment stand was replaced with a small stage creating the perfect spot for the homeowners’ young daughters to sing and dance. 6. The rich wood and warm colors were carried into the adjoining bathroom and bedroom completing the overall space.
Before Background info: This home is located in the Lynnwood at Plum Creek Subdivision in Carmel. The basement was stuck in the ’90s, and the homeowners were ready for a more custom basement they could use for entertaining family and friends.
Before problems: The homeowners love spending time with family and friends, but their basement lacked the function they desired. Even though the basement was large and open, the space appeared sectioned off, causing awkward and underutilized areas throughout. The homeowners were ready for a space to enjoy.

Winter Palace of the Hermitage . (Photo by Don Knebel)
The Hermitage: Arts and cats Commentary by Don Knebel The Hermitage, in St. Petersburg, Russia, occupies more than two million square feet and owns more than 650,000 works of art. The museum’s collection also travel includes a large number of cats. What is now the Hermitage began in 1764 when Russian Empress Catherine the Great bought 225 paintings, including 13 Rembrandts, from a Berlin art dealer. She soon acquired works by Rubens, Velazquez and other European masters and eventually owned nearly 80,000 items, including cameos, engraved gems, coins and books. Catherine kept her treasures in a building named “the Hermitage” she erected adjacent the Winter Palace, the home of Russian czars. Catherine’s successors continued purchasing art treasures from around the world and displayed them in adjoining buildings. The three million items in the collection, now owned by the government, include “Benois Madonna,” Leonardo da Vinci’s earliest painting, “Crouching Boy,” a Michelangelo sculpture, Egyptian antiquities, Greek and Roman statuary, Chinese porcelain, ancient gold jewelry and some of the most important O R A C L E

works of modern artists. The most significant items are displayed in five connected buildings overlooking the Neva River, now all called “the Hermitage,” including the Winter Palace, whose magnificently furnished rooms are included in the Hermitage tour. Since the time of Catherine the Great, cats have lived at the Hermitage, originally to control mice that might attack the priceless art. When the Romanov family and its dogs were evicted from the Winter Palace in 1917, later to be executed, the cats were left behind. Today, about 70 cats live in the Hermitage, looked after by three volunteer caretakers. The cats’ exploits are chronicled by their own press agent. Especially during tourist season, the large crowds at the Hermitage permit only glances at its extraordinary treasures. But even a glance at some of the most important art in the world makes the visit unforgettable.
