Hamilton County Council funds design phase for county’s first domestic violence shelter By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The COVID-19 pandemic led to increases of many kinds, including the amount of alcohol consumed, time spent with PREVAIL family and, unfortunately, the number of deaths associated with domestic violence. In Hamilton County in 2020, there were eight deaths associated with domestic violence compared to none the previous year, according to Prevail Executive Director Susan Ferguson. The statistic prompted the Hamilton County Council to approve $14,000 for design of a domestic violence shelter, an idea that’s been discussed — but not funded — for more than 20 years. RQAW, a Fishers engineering and architectural firm, is designing the project. Prevail is based in Noblesville, where it provides support services to victims of domestic violence. “This is something that’s been talked about for a really long time that’s coming to the forefront now for lots of reasons,” Ferguson said. “As the county grows, housing issues have certainly become glaringly obvious during COVID, and domestic violence has been a bigger issue in the past year or so.” In the past year, Ferguson created a housing-solutions plan designed for people fleeing a domestic violence situation. One of the aspects Ferguson is looking to implement is providing continuous housing for different stages in a victim’s escape. Currently, Prevail funds a hotel stay for victims or sends them to domestic violence shelters in Marion or Madison counties. “One of the arguments around a shelter in Hamilton County is if we do a temporary shelter — 30, 60, or 90 days — what does somebody do then? What’s the next step? If there’s not attainable housing in Hamilton County, and if they have to move out of the county, anyway, does it make sense to move people to a shelter in another county?” Ferguson said. “We wanted to look at

the whole spectrum and not just an emergency shelter option.” Ferguson said she’s not sure how long the design phase will take, but she wants to have the shelter up and running in two years. “That’s a lofty goal, but the plan is to design something where we could be co-located with Prevail’s current services and the residential side, even long-term housing,” she said. Ferguson envisions the campus with six units that function as an extended-stay hotel for victims fleeing a domestic violence situation. “It would be an apartment with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and sleeping arrangements in each unit, so it’s not communal,” Ferguson said. Prevail would keep several units open for emergency use. Currently, Prevail sometimes places a victim in a hotel when that’s a safe option. The organization also sends some victims to Alternatives, an Anderson-based organization offering services to victims of domestic violence. Concurrently with the design phase, Ferguson said she expects Prevail will ask the community for monetary support through

fundraising. Hamilton County Council member Fred Glynn said the council plans to continue to aid in funding the shelter. Glynn said the county is trying to secure land at Riverview Hospital to build the shelter. If it is built on hospital property, Glynn estimates the project to cost between $3 million and $5 million. If hospital land is used, Glynn said the build-out will be much faster. The price would likely increase if the county purchased land elsewhere. “This is always something we’ve looked at, but we would go look for land and then it would die off,” Glynn said. “This year, I was the liaison for Prevail and I wanted to keep pushing it along, and if we keep pushing it along, it’ll get done. I think this is long overdue. There’s no need for a county of our size and our affluency to send people to Madison or Marion county. This is something we can all agree needs to get done.” RQAW plans to incorporate biophilic design into the shelter, meaning it would be constructed to maximize connectivity to nature. Ferguson said a biophilic design will be used because of nature’s healing properties. For more, visit prevailinc.com.

Guerin Catholic High School golfers pause with the state runner-up trophy. (Photo by IHSAA)

Guerin Catholic’s title bid comes up short in state tournament By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In the end, the Guerin Catholic High School boys golf team came up just a bit short. GOLF The Golden Eagles flirted with an IHSAA boys golf state championship before falling one stroke shy June 16 at Prairie View Golf Course in Carmel. Guerin finished runner-up with a two-round total of 607 strokes, one more than Center Grove’s two-day total of 606. Carmel finished third with a 612 total. Guerin’s previous best finish was fourth in the state in 2019, its only other state appearance. The 2020 tournament was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Guerin and Carmel were tied after the first round June 15. With nine holes to go, Carmel led Center Grove by three strokes and Guerin Catholic by five. However, Carmel struggled and both teams surpassed the Greyhounds. “It was an exciting event,” Guerin coach Mark Mathews said. “I’m really proud of my players. They played great all year long.” Guerin sophomore Jacob Modleski finished second individually with 74-72 for a total of 146. “Jacob is a very strong player and he played very well (in the final round),” Mathews said. Golden Eagles senior Andrew White, a

Westfield resident who will play for Purdue next season, finished tied for eighth with a 150 total (73-77). The Golden Eagles also lose senior Christian Hein (80-79-159). Joining Modelski as returnees are junior Connor McNeely (74-81155) and freshman Leo Wessel 82-78-160. The Golden Eagles, who had eight invitational victories this season, won Hamilton County, Circle City Conference and Lake Central Regional championships. McNeely was the regional champion. “We’re going to have a strong team next year,” said Mathews, who was in his 12th season as coach. “It’s a builder (for the future).” Modleski was encouraged as well. “Overall, it was a great season,” Modelski said. “Being a sophomore, there is a lot to look forward to for the next two years. There is so much more to come. We came up a little bit short (in the final round), but there is always more to be had, more tournaments to be played and a lot more golf out there.” Modleski, a Noblesville resident, said the pressure of the final round will benefit the team if it can return to the state meet. “Looking over hole to hole and seeing different people hit different shots, It was a whole new atmosphere,” he said. “I’ve never been in anything like this before, so it was definitely interesting.”

For Westfield High School unified coed track and field coach Tamie Gipe, the season couldn’t have gone much betSPORTS ter, except maybe two more points in the sectional would have been nice. The Shamrocks placed fourth in the May 22 Noblesville sectional, just missing qualifying for regionals, as the top three teams advance. “We missed third place by one point,” said Gipe, who became head coach in 2019 after being an assistant coach when the team formed in 2017. “That one point was lost because we had a student unable to come to the meet at sectionals, so we had to scratch that event. It was a difficult day but overshadowed by tremendous performances by the team.” There were five school records and five first place finishes in the sectional. Unified sports teams pair students with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. “It’s an amazing sport that changes lives,” said Gipe, a Westfield resident. “It’s something that everyone competes aggressively, but you see the most success when you see your teammate succeed. Cheering on people from the other teams is a strong component of who Westfield is. Teams are appreciative of how supportive my team is of other schools. That exemplifies what unified sports are about.” Gipe said her team had 44 competitors and two managers. There were 20 athletes

and 24 partners. “It was almost a 1-to-1 ratio of athletes to partners, which was wonderful this year,” said Gipe, who teaches sports medicine classes at Westfield High School. There were 11 team members in 2017. The number grew to 24 in 2018 and 60-plus in 2019. The 2020 season was canceled amid the coronavirus pandemic. Gipe said many teams didn’t have enough participants to field a team this year, so she was pleased with the team numbers. Regular season meets aren’t scored because teams with competitors in every event would have an unfair advantage. Westfield had a larger team than most of its competitors, so it would score more points. “So, you really don’t keep track of wins and losses during (the) regular season,” Gipe said. “The regular season is to prepare you for the postseason tournament. Each person has to compete in an event twice to compete in the tournament. The team did what I wanted them to do. Each week we improved. We worked on strategy and performances. They peaked when I wanted them to peak.” A high point was Westfield capturing the West Lafayette Invitational in April. “The kids and coaches were so excited,” Gipe said. “There were lots of good performances and school records broken. Each week we broke more and more school records.” Westfield placed second to Fishers in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference meet. Fishers finished second in the sectional, third in the regional and second in the state.

HCAA release plans for land near airport The Town of Zionsville and the Hamilton County Airport Authority/Indianapolis Executive Airport recently DEVELOPMENT released a report outlining plans for a jointly commissioned Strategic Future Land Use Plan for the area surrounding the airport. Because of the town’s growing population, town and airport officials saw a need to create a land-use plan to help prevent conflicts. HWC Engineering Director of Planning Cory Whitesell, the plan’s project manager, said during a June 4 virtual presentation that the town and the airport authority want to “find a balance of protecting the use and integrity of the executive airport and meeting the Town of Zionsville’s community and economic development goals.” “The way that has been done has been striving to find what is an appropriate mix of compatible development that can occur around the airport,” Whitesell said. The plan is intended to build off land use

policies in Zionsville’s Comprehensive Plan and provide specific guidance for land-use decisions in areas surrounding the airport by supporting long-term development that meets Zionsville’s goals while sustaining the airport as “an economic engine for Zionsville and surrounding areas.” The airport annually contributes approximately $430 million to the local economy, according to a 2012 Indiana airports economic impact study. The airport operates with a single concrete runway in a north/south orientation. The runway is 5,501 feet long by 100 feet wide. As part of the 2008 Master Plan, a 1,500-foot extension to the runway is planned to the south end, to make it 7,001 feet long. The 2008 Master Plan also proposed a second runway expansion from 7,001 to 7,700 feet, the ultimate planned runway length. The runway extension would provide an increased margin of safety for takeoffs and landings. The 2008 airport master plan also includes proposals for a crosswind runway, which would cross the airport’s existing runway, forming a cross shape. No action is being considered at this time for either the cross-

wind runway or the second phase runway expansion project, according to town documents, and each would be subject to FAA approval, environmental clearance, justification, funding and future public participation or local approvals before proceeding. The first phase of the runway extension project is under construction, and some development has already occurred in areas near the airport, leading some residents from the Brookhaven and Fieldstone neighborhoods, which are south of the airport, to voice concerns about noise and aircraft flying low over their homes. During public meetings, residents in existing overflight areas recommended against further development of similar areas, although areas south of the existing runway are zoned to allow residential development. The zoning decisions were made by Boone County officials prior to the area being incorporated into the Town of Zionsville’s jurisdiction, according to the report. The FAA has informed the airport that areas between C.R. 200 S. and the Brookhaven/ Fieldstone neighborhoods should be protected from development.

New benefit to help families of COVID victims Column by Carol Applegate

BUTTONDODGE.COM TWINCITYDODGECHRYSLERINDIANA.COM MCGONIGALGM.COM ACADEMYJEEP.COM

WE DELIVER

More than 12,900 Hoosiers have died from COVID-19 since the pandemic began. The deaths take a toll not AWARENESS only on the emotions of their families but also on their finances. Funerals are expensive, totaling thousands of dollars. Yet, there’s new help that many Hoosiers don’t know about. COVID-19-related deaths are part of a national emergency. As a result, the Federal Emergency Management Agency began accepting applications for COVID-19 funeral assistance April 12. FEMA is reimbursing families for up to $9,000 per COVID-related funeral or $35,000 per application if multiple family members died from the virus. My law firm, Applegate & Dillman Elder Law, is busy educating other estate planners, probate attorneys, financial planners and families about this little-known benefit. Who is eligible? There are some guidelines if you plan to apply for the funding. Applicants must have paid for funeral expenses for someone who died from COVID-19 in the U.S., its territories or the District of Columbia after Jan. 20, 2020. Applicants also must be U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals or qualified aliens. The death certificate for the person who died must state that the death was caused by, may have been caused by or was likely a result of COVID-19 or COVID-19-like symptoms. What is covered? A wide range of expenses may be eligible for reimbursement if the application is approved. Expenses include the casket or urn, burial plot or cremation niche and a marker or headstone.

It’s important to note that any expenses paid for by burial or funeral insurance, a pre-paid funeral contract, a pre-paid trust for funeral expenses or an irrevocable trust are not eligible for reimbursement. Once an application is approved and expenses are verified, the applicant will receive a paper check or direct deposit into their bank account. What documents do I need? You will need the death certificate, proof of funeral expenses and proof of assistance from any other source, such as donations, funeral insurance or a pre-paid funeral contract. You also will need the Social Security numbers and birth dates for both the applicant and the deceased family member. The address of where the death happened is important, as is the mailing address and telephone number for the applicant. Also have the applicant’s bank account and routing numbers available for direct deposit. To apply, you must call FEMA’s COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Line at 844-684-6333 Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., Eastern time. Online applications aren’t accepted. You will need to upload, fax or mail in your documentation once you get an application number. Although the funeral assistance can’t replace a loved one, it will go a long way toward easing the financial burdens associated with saying goodbye.

The firm specializes in elder law and Life Care Planning, a holistic approach to deal with legal, financial, medical and emotional issues involved in growing older.

Westfield Rocks the 4th returns after 1-year hiatus By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com After a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Westfield Rocks the 4th celebration will return in force. The festival, previously a one-day event, will be a weeklong event this year. “As a growing community, we are adapting to the desires of our residents, and people want to be out and celebrate more than ever,” City of Westfield Communications Director Vicki Duncan Gardner said. “We have a desire from the community and we have a desire from the events team to do Gardner more. I think this is going to be a precursor for the kind of neat and innovative events that (the city events team is) going to bring to the (Grand Junction) plaza. They really want the community to feel a part of that culture, and you create that culture by having events like this.” Events began June 28. Upcoming events this week are Frisbee at Freedom Trail Park June 29 and an Indy Eleven Night at 6 p.m. July 1. Frisbee at Freedom Trail Park will be from 5 to 8 p.m. at the park, 500 Deer Walk Trace. “It’s going to be like Top Golf, and we are going to have zones spray-painted on the field,” City of Westfield Community Events Coordinator Kelley Wells said. “Participants stand on the field in a spot and throw a Frisbee into the certain zones. They get a certain amount of points depending on the zone they’re thrown into, and you can accumulate points and redeem those for prizes available.” The festival portion of the event will be July 2-4 at Grand Park. The other events will take place around the community. During the festival portion, there will be vendors, a kids’ zone and live entertainment each day. The kids’ zone will feature inflatables, games, slides and other activities. “The kids’ zone has always been free in the past, but this year we are charging because we expanded the festival over three days,” Wells said. Single-day tickets for the kids’ zone are

ESSAY

HUMOR

Attention to intention

Battling an awful earful

Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Sometimes, it just seems like we cannot get out of our own way. We have good intentions, plan and work hard. We are professionally trained and of good moral character. But there is a gap. Is it simple incompetence? Are our failures the result of sufficient effort but insufficient ability? Perhaps. Maybe the fault is one of some externality. Maybe the reoccurring fact that our objectives often do not materialize as outcomes is not because of us at all. Again, perhaps. Is everything that we are doing the absolute best that it could be? Are we remaining open to better courses of action? Are there superior paths than the ones we’ve chosen? The smartest humans among us are constantly striving for self-improvement. Do we remember the destination even when we are fatigued from the journey? Do we meet people where they are without restraint? The elementary school librarian could not seem to get little Frankie to return his library books on time. He’d been warned, lectured and incentivized — all to no avail. With good intention, he still didn’t deliver. In exasperation, he was banned from the library. OK, scofflaws must be held to account. Yet is it ever right to proclaim, you are dumb and we are going to keep you that way and that knowledge is ours and we only share it with those deserving? Sit still, stand in queue, pay the fine, toe the line, or you will be held back in ignorance. Can we teach Frankie the importance of responsibility by preventing him from having responsibility? Will our good intentions get to an equally good outcome? Could Frankie pay his penance by reading books about responsibility? Could he learn if we let him? Could he think of his actions as both intention and outcome? Can we?

My ear-y tale of auditory distress continues, friends, as I have bravely fought — but not yet defeated — a weeklong battle against a giant ball of hardened wax and its ally, the mighty otitis. I’m currently regrouping during a momentary ceasefire orchestrated by those beloved diplomats, Advil and Zithromax, So here I am, still but I’ll have in agony, still in an to jump back epic fight for my into the fray soon. I can’t middle ear. actually hear – DANIELLE WILSON the enemy (or anything, for that matter), but I can feel them closing in. I thought it would be a decisive victory during my second encounter on the fields of Minute Clinic, but, alas, despite an NP firing a (water) cannon into my left ear — three times, mind you — and then repeatedly stabbing said ear with what could and should be labeled a bayonet, that treasonous wax glob didn’t budge, not one iota. In fact, I dare say it decidedly hunkered down, refusing to yield even a tiny part of its Benedict Arnold-self or the canal it guarded. A full retreat was ordered, and I fled to the safety of my minivan, finding catharsis in 107.9 FM and post-traumatic tears. So here I am, still in agony, still in an epic fight for my middle ear. The antibiotics, despite their powerful reputation, have failed thus far to provide the support they promised. Desertion is rampant sleep, appetite and balance are all AWOL — and I fear morale is dropping to unrecoverable levels. I have a few more days before the next scheduled assault and am praying that I will finally emerge victorious. Because one way or another, this needs to end. Auditory distress is hell, not to mention bloody ear-itating. Peace out.

Dream Street Graphics signs new lease in Westfield By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When Dream Street Graphics owner John Wiley created the “Don’t Drive Naked” advertising quip, he didn’t expect it to become an GROWTH enduring legacy of his business. “We have been in business for 26 years as Dream Street Graphics, and I invented the ‘Don’t Drive Naked’ as a tagline to be catchy and funny, and then that took off so fast and so hot and so brightly,” Wiley said. Dream Street Graphics opened a shop in Westfield three years ago and recently signed a new lease for five more years. “We are just trying to let people know it’s up there. The shop on the southside is well known,” Wiley said. “All we do is vehicle graphics and vehicle wraps, so it’s kind of a joke if your vehicle isn’t wrapped; it’s naked, and that means you’re driving naked.” Wiley, who lives on the southeast side of Indianapolis, said he wanted to expand the business because of its continued growth. “I picked Westfield because (Interstate) 465 is

getting worse and worse and worse every year, in my opinion. The traffic is getting heavier, people are driving a little bit crazier, and it’s harder to justify driving from the north side all the way down to the south side,” Wiley said. “We needed representation on the northside. All my clients on the northside can get to Westfield without having to get on the interstate.” Wiley said Dream Street Graphics’ goal is to help clients grow their businesses. “Everything we do has the intention of good marketing for our customers. We don’t really just sling vinyl. We always put a lot of thought and care into our customers’ goals,” Wiley said. “We are basically all about them growing their business. We see it as partnering with our clients. If they grow, we grow. We’ve made a lot of friends along the way and really formed a lot of close relationships and good professional relationships with our clients. Everything has to be with the intention of helping them do well with their business, and every day, we learn something new about marketing to grow our own business.” For more, visit dreamstreetgraphics.com.

DISPATCH Look for dividend-paying stocks — Dividend-paying stocks tend to hold up better than the overall market during volatile times and economic slowdowns. But many largecap, blue-chip dividend payers such as McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble have already experienced big gains the past year, so they may not provide the downside protection you would expect. A better defensive strategy is to invest in dividend-paying medium-sized companies — those with stock market values between $2 billion and $10 billion. To find attractive dividend-paying, midcap stocks, look for companies with steady recurring revenues, little or no debt, leading market positions in their niches and strong enough cash flow to increase dividends at least 10 percent annually for the next five years.

Daniel’s Vineyard lands Indianapolis Opera’s Lobster Palooza By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Opera and Daniel’s Family Vineyard & Winery seemed like a perfect match. EVENT “Wine is a very strongly associated craft with opera,” Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey said. “(Daniel’s Vineyard) really prescribes to an amazing craftsmanship and the desire to be dedicated to their neighbors. They’ve always explored a lot with music and cultural events. It just seemed to be the right avenue to explore.” The 11th annual Lobster Palooza will be held at Daniel’s Vineyard in McCordsville from 5 to 9 p.m. Aug. 8. Current Publishing is serving as a media sponsor. National Bank of Indianapolis, Ellinger Riggs Insurance and Merrill Lynch also are sponsors. “That’s a big change for us because historically, Lobster Palooza has been held at Basile Opera Center (in Indianapolis),” Starkey said. The 2020 event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Starkey said the opera company had to merge Lobster Palooza and Opera Ball into a virtual fundraiser with live singers. “We just felt it was time to think of the next generation of the event after 10 years,” Starkey said. “We thought, what is the next decade going to be like for this fundraiser? Many people equate this to being one of the most unique, fun-filled events of that size. For this kind of size, 200 to 300 people, this has been consistently revered as the event. There is a new generation of opera fans, board members and donors, and they love this event. The event has brought in more of a younger, middle-aged crowd. This is real Maine lobster, and (we) have a special boiler expert we bring in from out of town to boil the lobster. We’re not getting frozen lobsters from the grocery store. This is the real deal. A Cut Above Catering has been the caterer and the chef of choice for many years of this event.

JUNIOR CIVIC THEATRE Junior Civic Theatre’s production of “Disney’s Frozen Jr.” at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel will be presented at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. June 29-30.

“So, we’re taking a very successful event and we are putting it at one of the best developing venues in our region. It’s a win-win.” The event will feature singers Daniel Narducci and Marci Jackson, who were leads in Indianapolis Opera’s 2019 production of “Camelot.” The Dean Martini Band will perform between 7 and 9 p.m. “That’s a new wrinkle. We haven’t had a band for years,” said Starkey, a McCordsville resident. “We’re going to have the opera singers sing with the band. There is a great space for people to dance.” In addition to signature drinks and wine from Daniel’s Vineyard, Tito’s, Sun King and Still Moon products will be served. A lobster event near Geist Reservoir seemed to be a logical match as well, Starkey said.

Starkey said the move also was generated by a motivation to develop new partnerships. “Through a relationship we have with Visit Indy, a board member of ours, Janet Arnold, who works for Visit Indy, brought this recommendation to us,” Starkey said. Starkey said many members already were aware of Daniel’s Vineyard. “So, the learning curve was pretty short,” Starkey said. “The conversation started in late winter. We were just thrilled with their desire to expand and connect in the arts.” The cocktail hour is at 5 p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m. Tickets are $175 per person, and a table of eight is $1,400. A $100 portion of the ticket price is tax deductible. For more, indyopera.org/lobsterpalooza. html.

Internationally renowned violin virtuoso Zachary DePue was named concertmaster of the Carmel Symphony Orchestra June 23. “Carmel Symphony Orchestra is absolutely thrilled to announce that Zach is joining us and bringing his energy, his warmth, his versatility and DePue his overall musical passion to our orchestra and to our community,” CSO Artistic Director Janna Hymes stated. DePue was a CSO guest artist earlier this year, joining the orchestra for its performance of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons.” DePue served as concertmaster for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for more than a decade and is well known as a founding member of the ISO’s first ensemble-in-residence, the international sensation Time for Three, with whom he performed for 15 years. He performs on a violin made in 1846 by Giuseppe Rocca of Turin, Italy.

Painting the town By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Lexi Villamin has always enjoyed creating art but didn’t take it seriously until the past year. ART Villamin, a junior at Guerin Catholic High School, recently put the finishing touches on a colorful mural painted on a wall inside the parking garage of the lower-level entrance to the new Hotel Carmichael in Carmel. The work is of a horizontal keyboard bordered by vivid designs above and below the black and white keys. A 16-year-old Carmel resident, Villamin worked on the project for two months. She completed the 64-foot wide by 9 1/2-foot tall painting on May 31. “I’m very proud of it. This is probably

Pictured: Handcrafted clothing by Ruby Ballard-Harris

the biggest project I have ever taken on,” Villamin said. “Although it isn’t perfect, I am proud of the work I put in and proud of the end result.” Villamin’s design for the mural was chosen by Pedcor Companies, which developed the boutique hotel in a public/private partnership with the City of Carmel. Villamin, who is enrolled in Guerin Catholic’s IB visual arts class, originally submitted the design for consideration at the Indiana Design Center in Carmel, but Pedcor — which also developed the design center — wanted the mural for the Hotel Carmichael. “Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had a fascination with art,” she said. “It was always something I did for fun, and I never took it too seriously until this past year.”

BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!

Address: 342 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Acai bowl   Price: $14  Anna’s take: The Garden Table is a beautiful restaurant that has two locations, Mass Ave and Broad Ripple, with a third slated to open in Carmel in the fall. I tried an array of dishes at the Mass Ave location. My favorite was the acai bowl — a vibrantly colored smoothie-like bowl topped with berries, house-made cashew granola, banana, almond butter, coconut flakes and minty herbs. A delicious combo of different tastes and textures, it’s a healthy way to eat something sweet. Another favorite was the Chilaquiles ($14), which is The Garden Table’s version of nachos with house-made corn tortilla chips, black beans, chicken tossed in salsa verde, a sunny-side up egg, avocado, queso fresco cilantro lime crema and a side of fresh pico de gallo. For vegetarian eaters,

the farro bowl ($12) is quite hearty with farro rice, portabello mushroom, carrots, roasted cauliflower and spinach and topped with a perfectly poached egg. Another healthy option is the Mediterranean salad ($13), a delicious spread of mixed greens, pico de gallo, couscous pearls, feta, roasted tomatoes, Kalamata olives and Greek dressing. And for the traditional breakfast fans, the blueberry hotcake stack ($8) is a tasty choice of four thick cakes that have a texture similar to combining a pancake and cornbread. Suggested pairings: The Garden Table is a juicery with fresh cold-pressed juices, so I would suggest ordering a juice with your meal. You can purchase a glass for $9, a sample for $3 or a flight of four 5 oz. pours for $11. My favorites were the Neon Nectar, made with orange, carrot, apple, lemon, turmeric and ginger, and the Hoosier Heater, a green juice of apple, orange, spinach, kale, cilantro, jalapeño and lime.

Behind bars: Mexican Peach Mule Get it at Four Day Ray, Fishers Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Olmeca Tequila, .5 oz. lime juice, .75 oz. Monin Peach syrup, 2 oz. Jumex Peach Juice, ginger beer Directions: Mix first four ingredients, pour over ice in a copper mug and top with ginger beer.

July is National Grilling Month Commentary by Anna Skinner Celebrate National Grilling Month with a variety of sausages available at Old Major Market, 4011 N. Pennsylvania St., Indianapolis. The sausages vary in flavor and make a great ingredient for an easy grilling recipe. Ingredients: • Grillbasa (unsmoked kielbasa) • Korean gochujang (pork sausage with a lightly spicy kimchi, gochujang sauce, pickled garlic, ginger, green onion) • Pork sausage with bacon, poblano and cheese Directions: Cook the pork poblano and cheese sausages in a skillet so you don’t lose all the cheese. When cooked directly on the grill, the cheese melts and drips through the grates, but when cooked in a skillet, it caramelizes on the skillet and becomes a delicious crunchy snack. I used a cast-iron skillet and put it directly on the grill and let it heat up for several minutes. When smoking hot, I sprayed three pork, bacon, poblano and cheese sausages with olive oil and placed them in the skillet. I took one grillbasa and two Korean gochujangs and spritzed them with olive oil and placed them directly

on the grill. From here, it depends on your grill. Watch the sausages carefully and flip frequently until each side is crispy and fully cooked on the inside. Remove from the grill and enjoy. Total cook time is approximately 20 minutes. To view other options, visit oldmajormarket.com.

Blueprint for Improvement: Meridian-Kessler master makeover Commentary by Larry Greene This 1925 home is in the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood. The remodel from the 1980s was overdue for some functional and aesthetic updates.

After

THE BLUEPRINT • The large deck tub was replaced with a compact soaking tub; a storage niche was added to the back wall. • The knee wall separating the toilet and the tub was extended to the ceiling for privacy. • Finishes include beautiful Alder wood cabinetry and matte white tile in a classic basket-weave pattern on the floor. • Sleek modern touches round out the space, including matte black fixtures and an oversized LED mirror.

Addicted to isograms Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Samara House in West Lafayette. (Photo by Don Knebel)

History of Samara House Commentary by Don Knebel In 1953, Dr. John Christian, a young Purdue professor, and his wife, Catherine (Kay), the university’s social director, TRAVEL engaged 86-year-old Frank Lloyd Wright to design a house for their 1-acre lot in West Lafayette. Today, that house is a National Historic Landmark. After engaging Wright, Mrs. Christian sent him a 27-page document outlining her needs, including family space, a room accommodating 50 guests, and a formal dining room. With this input, Wright designed a 2,200-square-foot single-story house featuring red brick and Philippine mahogany. The design incorporated a slab floor, flat roof, cantilevered overhangs, clerestory windows and radiant heating, concepts Wright used for the relatively modest designs he designated “Usonian,” a term referring to the United States. The design also included a “carport,” a word Wright coined in connection with his first Usonian home, built in Wisconsin in 1936. Wright named the Christian house “Samara” after winged pinecone seeds found on the property. Local contractors built the house between 1954 and 1956. Wright also designed or specified many items to be included in the house and arbo-

retum, including furniture, rugs and carpets, lamps, linen, china, figurines and 80 species of trees. Some items incorporated a stylized samara motif Wright created. Others evoked Japan, including a guestroom chair made of plywood suggesting origami. The Christians committed to incorporating all of Wright’s ideas, even if that meant waiting until they had sufficient funds. When Dr. Christian died in 2015, Samara included almost everything Wright had specified, including a disappearing television platform operated by remote control. The April 2015 announcement of Samara’s Historic Landmark designation noted the house’s “remarkably complete Usonian design, incorporating more than 40 Wrightian design elements.” The house and arboretum, owned by the John E. Christian Family Memorial Trust, Inc. (on whose board I sit), are available for tours by reservation only at tours@samara-house.org.

Are you constantly on your phone? Do you bury your face in your Facebook feed? Do you find yourself all GRAMMAR GUY atwitter for Twitter? Personally, I’m tempted to spend every instant on Instagram. Instead of Instagram, how about we spend some time on isograms? Although that segue was a bit of a stretch, I found the statistics on social media use shocking, and now I have your attention. You Greek scholars out there know that isogram means “equal letter.” An isogram is a word that has an equal amount of each letter in it. For starters, let’s discuss first-order isograms, which do not repeat any letter. My name, “Curtis,” is a first-order isogram. So are the words “customizable,” “nightwalkers,” “flamethrowing” and “ambidextrously.” None of these words use the same letter twice! The longest English language isogram, weighing in at 17 letters, is “subdermatoglyphic,” which has to do with certain patterns in our fingerprints (I think). Things get twice as interesting when we consider second-order (or pair) isograms. That’s when we get into words including “deed” and “noon.” But we’re not here to talk about four-letter words, are we? Let’s make it interesting, why don’t we? The per-

fect place to start is with “intestines.” Each of the letters appears exactly twice. Of all my friends who are “hotshots,” I would never expect one of them to be a semi-professional “horseshoer.” I never thought my “couscous” would “reappear.” All the words in quotations in the previous sentences are second-order isograms. Now that we’re warmed up, let’s go all-in with third-order (or trio) isograms. These words are about as rare as a “dodo,” which is another second-order isogram. After scouring the worldwide web, the darknet, “Dragnet” and a secret internet just for people who enjoy going into nets (it’s called the “enternet”), I found only four third-order isograms. The list includes “deeded,” “sestettes,” “reprepper” and “geggee” (a victim of a hoax). Isograms are fun, and it’s easy to find yourself spending two hours or more down the rabbit hole of words containing equal letters. If you thoroughly study up on isograms, you may very well find yourself addicted to a form of anti-social media. After all, it’s nice to have friends, but wouldn’t you rather collect words?
