Indy man charged with attempted murder
Member FDICbusey.com
This incident has left me shaken and angry. This behavior has no place in our society and it won’t be tolerated in this city. Neither will intolerance and racism. The safety of our employees has always been my priority as mayor and an as sault on one is an assault on our city.
Authorities said that two victims flagged down police and said that a man had as saulted them. One of the victims, who said he worked for the City of Westfield Street Dept., told police that he and his co-worker had parked their vehicle on Grassy Branch Road near the intersection of 196th Street and Grassy Branch to trim grass.
An Indianapolis man is facing a charge of attempted murder after allegedly assaulting a Westfield city employee with a handgun last Austinmonth.J.Weir, 38, was charged in Hamilton Coun ty Circuit Court Aug. 30 with Level 1 felony attempt ed murder, Level 5 felony battery with a deadly weapon, Level 6 felony bat tery resulting in moderate bodily injury and two Level 6 felony counts of pointing a firearm.
The arrest of a suspect in the assault and attempted murder of a City of West field Street Department employee this week, shocked and stunned the citizens of our city. Two of our Street Department employees were involved in an unpro voked attack on Monday afternoon when they were assaulted by a male with a handgun who attempted to discharge the weapon at one of our employees. Fortunately, the gun did not fire. The victim was then pistol whipped before the suspect left the area shouting racial slurs at the two men.

Weir, who was appointed an attorney in the case earlier this month, remains in the Hamilton County Jail on a $500,000 cash or surety bond, according to jail records. A pretrial conference in the case has been scheduled for Nov. 10 with a jury trial set at 9 a.m. Dec. 14.
According to a probable cause statement filed in the case, the victim said he noticed a black, older model pickup truck driving eastbound on 196th Street traveling at a high rate of speed and put his hand out to signal the driver to slow down. The driver of the vehicle allegedly told the victim to “get the (expletive) out of my way” and retrieved a handgun, chased one of the victims and struck him in the head with the weapon, causing him to fall to the ground, according to the probable cause statement.

STATEMENT FROM MAYOR ANDY COOK
A police detective eventually saw Weir walk outside of a home where the pickup truck was parked and yelled at the suspect, asking whose truck was parked behind him. Weir allegedly said, “I don’t have to answer that,” according to the probable cause statement.Authorities said that Weir “began to act very fidgety, moving his hands around” and was eventually taken into custody. Police say they found a black semi-automatic handgun stuck in Weir’s waistband.
While on the ground, it is alleged that Weir struck him again with the firearm and that a struggle occurred between the two men. Weir allegedly got up, pointed the handgun at the victim’s chest and pulled the trigger, according to the probable cause statement.Thevictim told police that after Weir pulled to the side of the road on 196th Street, he began arguing with one of the victims, the probable cause statement said. As the two men were arguing, Weir swung at one of them, but was blocked by a Weed Eater that one of the victims was holding.

West Fork started in Park 100 in 2014 on the inside loop on the northwest side of Indianapolis.
West Fork Whiskey Co. up and running in Westfield
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Blake Jones knew West Fork Whiskey Co. wanted to keep close to its Indianapolis roots.
The Jones brothers were childhood best friends in Bedford. The 35,000-square-foot facility, near Grand Park at 10 E. 191st St., opened to the public Aug. 20. The signage is branded as West Fork Whsky Co. Originally, West Fork was supposed to open four to six months ago. Blake said the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain issues delayed the opening.Production won’t be running in Westfield until the first quarter of 2023. Blake said the company controls 25 1/2 acres, so there are plans for a playground, overnight experiences and perhaps concert venues and additional office space.
“We want to build a complex and be here for a long time,” BlakeBlakesaid.said it was an emotional moment to see the Aug. 10 ribbon cutting.
“There are a bunch of warehouses there and we barely had a sign,” Blake said. “We were doing it on nights and weekends. We also had day jobs and my brother was in medical school. I was a banker and getting an MBA. David was in law school in Florida and worked as a consultant. We cashed out our 401ks and maxed out our credit cards. We’ve grown substantially since then.”
Blake said the Westfield facility will make the company one of the largest whiskey producers in the United States.

“We left what could have been very good careers for our selves. We took a massive risk,” he said. “We didn’t take any money from the company for a long time. We didn’t have backgrounds in whiskey or spirits production.”
West Fork opened a tasting room in downtown India napolis at 1660 Bellefontaine St. and was named a top 15 whiskey bar in the U.S. by Yelp. Two years ago, West Fork won the best micro whiskey distillery in the U.S. honor at the International Whiskey competition.
Then they struggled finding financing and a developer during the pandemic.

“We have great water for whiskey production that is very important to us and land to grow on.”
COVER STORY
“We needed more land, and ideally we wanted to be close to a highway or close to another tourism attraction, so it wasn’t just us bringing in people,” said Blake Jones, who co-founded West Fork with his older brother Julian and David McIntyre. “We toured a lot of different places (around Indianapolis). It seemed to us that Westfield provided the best of almost everything. Grand Park sees almost 2 million people a year. We’re a couple of minutes off a highway.
“The primary reason for Grand Park was to entice private sector investment in Westfield,” Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said.Besides attracting sports organizations, Cook said West field officials wanted to entice those in the hospitality area.
“By our estimation, we’ll be one of the top 50 whiskey producers in the country,” he said. “We’re looking to find our long-term home in Westfield. The community has been incredible to us over the last year.”
“On behalf of the city of Westfield, we are thrilled to have
West Fork Whiskey, and we look forward to a long and prof itable relationship,” Cook said.

West Fork also features an event center for weddings and corporate events. In addition, a family-friendly restau rant and cocktail bar is also available.
Julian said he serves as the distiller, engineer and tech nical“Learningperson.how to learn about anything is up my sleeve,” said Julian, who has a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and a master’s in biology. “But we all help each other out to do (just) about everything.”

Recently, I received a text from my youngest sister saying she’d just ex perienced a cry run, where one bursts into tears while jogging. I asked why, and she replied that she’d been think ing about our father who passed away in 2020. Then my twin chimed in. She, too, had been remembering Dad and had spent the morning a little weepy. Sisters 2 and 3 followed with similar remarks, and I was left wondering what was going on. Why was everyone sad? When a photo came through from the cemetery, it finally dawned on me: It was the two-year anniversary of Dad’s death, and I’d forgotten. Like, completely and totally forgotten. If I hadn’t been singing John Denver in a hallway full of teens at the exact moment of this discovery, I would have fallen apart. But Friday karaoke must go on, so I stifled my emotions and continued mangling, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Take me home, indeed.

“There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.”
Last year, I’d been hyper aware as this date approached, spending the preceding days dwelling on that final summer and the hours leading up to his passing. This time? I hadn’t given Dad a single thought in over a week, and it was only in the context of being frustrated that he’d failed once again to use his heavenly presence to secure me lottery tickets to the Masters. Am I a terrible daughter? Sibling? Merely human?Myhusband believes my forgetting is a sign that I’m healing -- that I’ve moved through the grief to a place where Dad isn’t gone, but also isn’t ever-present. I hope he’s right.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
HUMOR
Mid-century country crooner Roger Miller penned an iconic song in 1964 retelling the story of the ne’er-do-well recognizing his own shortcomings while sitting in a bar instead of being home with his wife and 1-month old child: “Dang me, dang me. They ought to take a rope and hang me.” Capital punishment may have been too great for the transgression, but it was clear that he saw the error in his ways. Still, he didn’t rush home. And then he found a way to put some of the blame upon his upbringing: “My Pappy was a pistol, I’m a son of a gun,” he sang. Although the errant subject of the tune did not learn his lesson, the record did earn a Grammy Award for best Country & West ern song. It seemed that the repentant, but not too much, tone resonated with audiences.Bytoday’s standards, the lyrics are quite tame. Notably absent are the ag gressive use of profanity and assertive, if not hardcore, references to victims. Somewhere along the line, our posture has changed. It is unlikely that Miller was unfamiliar with the vocabulary that would ultimately become commonplace in popular music. Still, he elected to use the more colloquial and less intended to offend.Much of the humanities has shifted into the profane in the last few decades. The internet is filled with vile and un productive uses of modern language. So-called news and creative writing aggregators push out article after ar ticle expressing a number of opinions wrapped in strong language. Mostly, we ignore them. Today’s retinue included “&$^#-less in Seattle” and “@#%^ Writ ing.” Studies show that expletive use can reduce stress for individuals. But for mass consumption, does it reduce anything other than IQ?

Just for fun, I typed, “My favorite person is ...” There are thousands of sites refer encing this topic. Approximately none of them mentioned my name. A little depress ing, to be sure, but Google is only 23 years old. People don’t take to me right away.
Having just had a nightmare the previ ous evening, I put in, “Last night I dreamed about …” The first supplied answer -- and I swear this is true – was, “chickens.” If you have ever wondered whether other people have the same weird dreams as you, you’re in for a rude awak ening, probably by a rooster. I clicked on that link and up came a poem by children’s author Jack Prelutsky, which read in part:
How did Prelutsky scratch his way into the No. 1 slot, the perfect place in the peck ing order for an author? We’ll never know, but on a side note, I want to assure all my readers that there will be no more fowl puns in this column.

“I am 24 years old.

Here I am searching the internet when I should be scouring my own underwear.

Lying about money — A new study from Finder.com reveals that lying about money is the American way. More than three-quar ters of people surveyed fessed up to having committed dishonest acts for financial gain, mostly without any feelings of guilt or remorse. The study polled more than 2,000 American adults and found that 78 percent intentionally lied about money. The most common acts were pocketing found money and keeping quiet when undercharged.

The excite ment for this unique place spreads, as members see results and the differences in their lives. They talk to their friends, and neighbors and spouses. One of the oldest members asked Carol if she believed M4L would make a difference. Her answer – a resounding “yes”! Simply put, M4L gives hope for a better life.

Last year’s event raised $4,550 and this year’s goal is $6,000. RISE stands for “rock ers impacting and serving everyone.”
RISE Fest rocks for nonprofits
Ninety percent of proceeds from the free, family-friendly event will benefit four Hamilton County nonprofits: The Cooper House (Noblesville), Open Doors (Westfield), Resounding Joy (Carmel) and Highmark Church (Fishers). The other 10 percent will be awarded as a scholarship to a Hamilton County high school senior who plans to pur sue a music-related degree.
FUNDRAISER
Among the goals for last year’s inaugural RISE Fest fundraiser was for the daylong music festival to be come an annual event. So far, organizers seem poised to accomplish that objective. Conceived by local musicians as a way to combine live performances with fund raising, the second RISE Fest — featuring a combined eight local bands and artists on two stages — will be presented from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at Spencer Farm Winery, 7015 E. 161st St., in Noblesville.
“The feedback (last year) was very posi tive from the bands, the attendees, Spencer Farm Winery and the sponsors,” said Andy Binford, RISE Fest founder and executive director.Binford, a Westfield resident who plays bass in two of the participating bands, expects more than 750 people to attend at some point throughout the event. Each band/artist will perform for 20 minutes.
The performers are John Prince, Jett Haddix, Board Meeting, Audio Hygiene, Blind Vision, Rain Dogs, Rhino Down and Naptown Hepcats. For more or to donate online, visit RiseFest.net.

was more than happy to rattle off some fake terms, which became known as “grunge speak.”
When Marin inquired about grunge terminology, Jasper enlightened him with these made-up phrases, which soon after appeared in the pages of the Times: “wack slacks” (old ripped jeans, “cob nobbler” (loser), “fuzz” (heavy wool sweaters), “bound-and-hagged” (staying home on Fri day or Saturday night) and even “swingin’ on the flippity-flop” (hanging out). These terms and 10 others appeared as grunge gospel in Marin’s Nov. 15 article, “Grunge: A Success Story.”

Today, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presi dential Library and Museum contains about 50 million items related to FDR, which he donated to the United States. Wings com pleted in 1972 contain 3 million items related to his wife, Eleanor. Besides documents and similar materials, the museum con tains exhibits related to FDR’s four terms as president, including one displaying his desk. Another exhibit, depicting a 1940s-era

kitchen, allows visitors to listen to record ings of FDR’s fireside chats. Other exhibits remember his four campaigns for president, including rare recordings from the earliest days of television. Other exhibits display some of his famous statements and speech es, including his famous articulation of the “four freedoms” in January 1941. If you are near Hyde Park, a visit to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum is a must.

Today, as we continue our road trip to and from Cape Cod, we make the last stop in Hyde Park, N.Y., visiting the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presiden tial Library and Museum. Before Franklin D. Roosevelt, presidents considered documents and other materials created during their terms their personal property. Some sold or destroyed them, and others donated them to the Library of Con gress or other institutions. President Roos evelt wanted a better system for preserving what he considered public property. In 1939, Roosevelt convinced his mother, Sara, to do nate 16 acres of land from her Springwood Estate for a library for items created during his service as president and his prior public service, including as governor of New York. Roosevelt, an amateur architect, helped de sign the library building in the Dutch Colo nial style. This first presidential library, built with private funds, was dedicated on June 30, 1941, early in FDR’s unprecedented third term. Roosevelt often visited the library and made some of his famous fireside chats from a studio inside the building.

The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, N.Y.
In November 1992, the Seattle grunge music scene was exploding in its popu larity. While the angsty grunge fans were rocking in their flannel shirts, Nir vana frontman Kurt Cobain was penning hits including “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “Come As You Are” and “Lithium.”Ifthose songs don’t sound familiar, that’s OK. What’s notable is what hap penedWhilenext.fans were riding the grunge wave, a reporter at The New York Times wanted to inform readers about the growing subculture. A freelance reporter named Rick Marin phoned Megan Jasper, who, at the time, was a sales represen tative for Seattle record label Caroline Records.Jasper, who had recently been laid off from legendary grunge label Sub Pop Re cords as its receptionist, decided to have a little fun at the Times’ expense. Marin phoned to ask about any slang terms used in the grunge subculture. Jasper
This wasn’t the first, or last, time fake news showed up in a well-respected newspaper. The fact that Marin swallowed Jasper’s made-up terms hook. line and sinker surprised even Jasper herself.
