Finding senior community Commentary by Kara Shipman Loneliness and social isolation can be very damaging, especially for older adults. Social isolation significantly AGING increases a person’s risk of premature death and is associated with a 50 percent increased risk of dementia. Poor social relationships are also associated with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke as well as higher rates of depression, anxiety and suicide. Sometimes it’s hard to pull yourself out of the loneliness you are feeling, especially in today’s world — a world forcing us to distance from each other. But just because we are physically distant doesn’t mean we can’t still find and feel community with others. That’s where CarDon comes in. Find Social Engagement Even though we have to stay socially, or physically, distant, being part of a CarDon community like Copper Trace Family-First Senior Living Community, still offers the opportunity to stay socially engaged. Being social doesn’t mean you have to be physically close — because we can’t be right now. But it does mean you have the chance

for social engagement … with nurses, dietary associates, the life enrichment team, physical or occupational therapists and even other residents. From creative activities, to the receipt of cards and love letters from friends and family, the Copper Trace staff makes sure residents don’t go through their days alone, and that truly makes all the difference. Find Family At Copper Trace, residents are visited each day by staff members, who offer a warm smile, a comforting word and a health and wellness check, both physically and mentally. Find Community Even in tough times such as these, the staff at Copper Trace will not let your loved one’s spirit fade. No matter their age, ability or experience, residents are made to feel special, attended to, cared for and loved. Kara Shipman is the Director of Community Engagement at CarDon and Associates, a Family-First Senior Living Company, with more than 20 locations throughout Indiana and Ohio.

Hamilton County Parks cancels major events through 2020

HAIL DAMAGE? DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE

news@currentinwestfield.com Hamilton County Parks and Recreation has canceled its major community events through the end of 2020 PANDEMIC because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Park board members made the difficult decision to unanimously suspend all large park events out of a genuine concern for the health and safety of guests, volunteers, sponsors, park Stice staff and the community,” Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Director Chris Stice stated. “Such popular park events as the Concerts in the Centerpiece at Coxhall Gardens, the Potter’s Bridge Fall Festival and the Little Haunt on the Prairie at Ghoul Creek Park, will unfortunately not be held this year, but dedicated park staff continue to prepare for the events’ welcome return in 2021.” The department still plans to offer smallscale, nature-education programs, although reservations are required.

CHS grad writes finance book By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Collin Flannagan decided the time was right to write an easy-to-comprehend book about financial investment MONEY after fielding several questions from family and friends. Flannagan, a 2012 Carmel High School graduate and Westfield resident, wrote “Knock, Knock Who’s There? Millionaire Status,” which he self-published and released on Amazon in Flannagan mid-June. “I felt there was nothing on the market that was quite like this,” he said. “No one I know wants to read a finance book, especially when they are young in their 20s. I wanted to add a bit of humor to it and make it shorter than most other books. People especially don’t want to pick up a 300-page finance book.” Flannagan said his target market is ages 18 to 30 so readers can learn the basics of investing and saving early. Flannagan started writing the 84-page book full time in December 2019 after he left his position at Empower Retirement, the nation’s second-largest 401(k) provider, in Kansas City, Mo., to return to Indiana. “The first section of the book, I dumb it down so someone from any educational background, even those in middle school, would pick up the concepts,” he said. Flannagan’s premise is that a person earning $15 an hour could save $1 million for retirement, depending on where the person lives and provided the person saves and invests properly through the years. “It’s based on the assumption your expenses are $24,000 and you make $30,000. If you save $6,000 a year over a 40-year period, you could have a million dollars,” he said. The second section covers financial explanations on stocks, bonds, investment returns and similar matters. The third section is more detailed with examples of how the simple approach of buying and holding can be more beneficial than trading too much, as some younger people do.

Help the survivors of fallen heros Commentary by Jason Peek Defund the police, huh? Yep, that’s really cute and in the top three — if not No. 1 — on the list of stupidest things PLAIN TALK I’ve ever heard. Keep in mind, I’m a barber of more than 19 years, and I have heard it all. Here in Hamilton County, we love our police and first responders more than ever, and we will not even entertain the idea of not having them around.

In fact, when Carmel had protests, it was our police department whose officers were present to make sure participants didn’t get in harm’s way with traffic or people while they marched. We’ve all seen what happens in other cities when they don’t let the police do their jobs. Crime skyrockets quickly. People die, and what happens to women is unmentionable in this space. Not on my watch! My business, Main Street Barber Shop, is taking donations of checks and cash in

Whiskey in Westfield West Fork Whiskey Co. announces plans to build agritourism facility in Westfield

A renderings of the planned 35,000-square-foot agritourism facility in Westfield. (Submitted rendering)

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Blake Jones said he and his brother Julian and his childhood best friend, David McIntrye, became “hellbent on creating unique whiskey” five years ago. Now, the West Fork Whiskey Co. co-founders will add a 35,000-square-foot agritourism facility to their business. “The state has an awesome agricultural background, and we love whiskey and we love the state, so we really wanted to bring a very approachable whiskey experience to Indiana and use very corn-forward mash bills,” said Jones, who lives in Broad Ripple. The trio started making their first whiskey during the final week of 2015 from leftover beer and wine. “We put it in a tiny still, and lo and behold, we successfully distilled for the first time,” he said. “We never wanted to jeopardize the potential future of the company (by selling that), so we got a warehouse and some equipment to see if we could do it and did that nights and weekends for six to nine months. Once we figured out how to mash and ferment and distill, we had a unique process and could get some high-quality juice. “We’ve scaled up the company a few times since.” West Fork Whiskey Co. operates a whiskey tasting room in downtown Indianapolis with a warehouse nearby. In

2021, construction will begin on the agritourism facility, which will include a family friendly restaurant, a bar, an event center, a whiskey speakeasy for ages 21 and up, tours, an education room and a retail component with production, a processing warehouse and other amenities. West Fork Whiskey Co. will continue to operate its downtown location and plans to renovate it in the future. The Indianapolis location only offers whiskey made by West Fork Whiskey Co., but Jones said the Westfield bar will offer other spirits along with beer and wine. The Westfield whiskey speakeasy will only offer whiskey products. The $10 million development will be on 12.5 acres at the northeast corner of 191st Street and Horton Road near Grand Park. “If we keep growing like we are growing, we will not have enough (space) in the coming years. We needed a bigger facility so we could undertake longer aging components,” Jones said. “You can’t get land to do that and grow in Indianapolis like you can in some of the doughnut counties. We wanted to be close to a highway, and from there, we wanted to be next to a tourism asset (that) we could complement, and they could complement us. “There’s really no better place in central Indiana than Grand Park with how many people it brings in.” Jones said West Fork Whiskey Co.’s goal is to offer a high-quality, locally produced whiskey for Midwest

WEST FORK WHISKEY CO. BRANDS 2-Hour Delay: Unaged corn whiskey All or Nothing: Corn whiskey aged in bourbon barrels The Colonel: Wheat-centric bourbon whiskey Mint Condition: A ready-to-drink canned cocktail with bourbon, lemon and mint. B-Street Blues: Bourbon whiskey Rye-ter’s Block: Rye whiskey 3rd Degree: Flavored whiskey with cinnamon sticks, simple syrup and dried chilies customers. “We always wanted to be widely distributed, and we really wanted to be the Midwest’s and Indiana’s go-to, everyday drink,” Jones said. “That’s still our goal. We have a long way to go to get there, and we want people to stop drinking Jim (Beam) Jack (Daniel’s), Maker’s (Mark) and Woodford (Reserve), all those brands, and have a viable and approachable local option. That continues to be our goal. It was always our goal, and it’s one of the reasons why we need a bigger facility so people can interact with us and learn more about whiskey.” For more, visit westforkwhiskey.com.

ESSAY

LETTER

Strike force

Let’s end turmoil at treasurer’s office

Commentary by Terry Anker In the East, the idea was championed by Sun Tzu, the Chinese general born about 550 years before Christ and best remembered as the author of the classic book of military strategy, “The Art of War.” In the West, the idea was championed by Niccolò Machiavelli, the Italian Renaissance diplomat born about 1,500 years after Christ and best remembered as the author of the classic book of governing strategy, “The Prince.” American President George Washington often used a variation of the concept, as did Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong. In essence, “the best defense is a good offense.” In politics, law, business, and even board games, a winning strategy is often based on the notion of drawing first blood. Before allowing a would-be opponent to consider her own moves, the aggressor makes hers. By striking first, one gains the advantage of framing the battleground, of reducing the position of the opponent to defend themselves, and by gaining the element of surprise. And once in power, one would be in constant pursuit of out-maneuvering those governed. Each anticipated move by adversaries, or one’s own citizens, should be anticipated and preemptively repressed. Suppressed by fear, most come to live in constant expectation of the unannounced hostility. But even more, those antagonists have defended themselves from fighting the battle on their own homeland. Stated another way, their own failures and biases are routinely not exposed, expressed or assessed. The defensively offensive end up reducing vulnerability while the defensively defensive are pushed back against the wall. In an all-out war, maybe all is fair. But what if someone doesn’t intend to go to war? What if the aggressor is just an aggressor and not defending? Can we coexist with someone bent on a preemptive assault? Or do we have to strike them to survive ourselves?

Let the fantasy games begin! Commentary by Danielle Wilson Heads up, people. Football season is finally here, and this dance mom actually remembered to log in to a HUMOR Sunday night draft in my allguys-except-for-me fantasy league. Do I know what I’m doing yet? No. I think this is my fifth year and I still only recognize players who have retired (so long, Brady!). Do I understand when to start a WR over a RB? Not exactly, though I’ve been advised to have a total of five entered on my roster. Am I going to let any of this stop me from dominating a bunch of beer-guzzling man-children? Bells to the no! I recognize the incredible responsibility I hold to women everywhere. I promise, I will not fail. Well, I might. My record has been subpar, at best. Usually, I lose a quarterback in the first month or realize too late that all my good players have the same bye week. And I truly have minimal knowledge of the

strength and weaknesses of the 30-odd teams in the NFL (but at least I didn’t write NHL!). I do have an awesome name, though — A Girl Has No Name (“Game of Thrones” fans, you’re welcome!), which is half the battle, along with the help of my stats-fanatic son, who dutifully scans my lineup every Thursday to make sure I didn’t start a defense that’s pitted against my premier offensive minions. I also hold some key advantages: I finished in the bottom half last year and I am female. There are literally no expectations of me winning anything. I can only impress! So, here’s to a victorious football season. For me, and women everywhere! Peace out.

Editor, My name is Jake Madore, and I’m proud to announce my candidacy for Hamilton County treasurer. The treasurer’s office is an extremely important function of our local government that must follow county and state laws when collecting taxes. There is no room for pushing party agendas nor playing favorites. But, as we have seen during the last few years, these goals are missed when we have the wrong people representing us. This is why I am running. To be a leader that will seek transparency and fairness for all the taxpayers of Hamilton County. We all want good government. Often, the ideals we place around what good government actually looks like varies between party lines. However, the office of the treasurer is not one of those good government ideals that vary. Please join me to create a better Hamilton County. We can choose to do better and to end the turmoil at the treasurer’s office. Let’s pick the candidate who won’t play politics. Let’s pick the candidate who will make Hamilton County better, for all of us. Jake Madore, Carmel, Democratic candidate for Hamilton County treasurer

Here are a few observations about life in my house during the last five months. 1. When my wife asks me what I want for dinner, I’m torn between saying: A. I don’t care B. I don’t know C. Whatever! 2. I love watching golf on TV. If Arnold Palmer is leading the tournament, I’m thinking it may be a repeat. 3. When Mary Ellen and I sit outside in the mornings and talk, after about an hour and a half she’ll say, “That’s interesting. I’ve never heard you say that before.” It’s then I realize that for more than 90 minutes, I hadn’t said anything new. 4. When I see couples walking around our neighborhood, sometimes I’ll see a man in shorts and a T-shirt and his wife is bundled up in a winter coat. Why would a man marry a woman who is always that cold? OK, that sounds sexist. Why would a woman marry a man who is that hot? I’m only making this worse. Never mind. 5. I have no idea what day it is. My brother, Peter, has the best way to keep track. He looks at his weekly pill divider. 6. My wife has a crush on two TV stars. First, Idris Elba. This 6-foot-3, talented actor is a major hunk with a British accent. She also has a thing for Dr. Anthony Fauci. Standing 5-7, he’s a

brilliant immunologist. He is articulate and measured. What do I have in common with either of these men? I was once 5-7. 7. We use Zoom for our church services. We have several older members in the congregation. When I commented that it felt like “Hollywood Squares,” I was glad a lot of people knew what I was talking about. 8. Health care workers are my No. 1 heroes. Anyone who delivers beer is a close second. 9. I’ve been exercising in the basement. I keep careful track of everything. It’s exactly 53 steps from the furnace room to the couch, another 27 around the treadmill. That takes me 32.6 seconds and it’s precisely .07 miles. Why am I running around my basement when I have a treadmill? Because the machine is covered in winter clothing. 10. My to-do list has nothing on it these days. Now, I have a not-to-do list (don’t go to the movies; don’t get a haircut; don’t go to the YMCA …). The list is long. I’m worried I’ll never get it all not done. As you can see from that last one, I may be losing my mind.

DISPATCH Video game stock growth — The global video game market is likely to double to $300 billion in revenue by 2025, according to tech research firm GlobalData, driven by the expansion of mobile-phone and online gaming. Investors should focus on third-party video game publishers with a history of churning out blockbuster games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices. Their stocks can benefit no matter what platform gamers choose to play on or what business model prevails. Two

attractive video game publishers now are: • Activision Blizzard (ATVI) hits include World of Warcraft, which has had $9 billion in revenue since 2004. It partners with YouTube to stream live broadcasts of tournaments for games such as Overwatch and Call of Duty. • Electronic Arts (EA) makes best-selling games such as the FIFA soccer series, Madden NFL and Battlefield Source: BottomLineInc.com

County launches campaign to slow COVID-19 spread news@currentinwestfield.com

Welcome, Ashley Seidner, DO Riverview Health Physicians OB/GYN is pleased to welcome Ashley Seidner, DO to the team. Dr. Seidner enjoys educating, empowering and caring for women while building long-lasting relationships with her patients. Dr. Seidner believes it’s her privilege to advocate for women and to provide high-quality care for them through all stages of their lives—from adolescence to maternity, menopause and beyond. What do you do for fun? I enjoy exploring the great outdoors with my husband, daughter and our dogs. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Seidner, call 317.770.6085 or visit riverview.org.

The Hamilton County Health Dept. has partnered with area school districts to launch an educational PANDEMIC campaign designed to keep kids in school. Called “Show Some C.L.A.S.S Keep Kids in School,” the campaign outlines five basic rules families should follow to help keep children healthy and in the classroom: C – Check your child’s temperature every morning before sending them to school. L – Lead by example. Let your child see you wearing a mask and modeling good social distancing. A – Avoid large gatherings. Slumber par-

ties, carpools and birthday parties are discouraged. S – Schedule a test if you or someone in your family exhibits signs of COVID-19. S – Stay home until you receive your test results or if you are not feeling well. The health department has been tracking a significant spike in COVID-19 cases among children — especially teens — since July 4. According to the Indiana State Dept. of Health, children ages 0-19 accounted for just 5 percent of the positive cases on July 4. That percentage has more than tripled to 18.5 percent of new cases the week of Aug. 31. The surge is believed to be due in large part to social gatherings like graduations, weddings and family reunions. Learn more at showsomeclass.org.

DISPATCHES How to prevent foggy glasses from face mask wear — If you are a glasses wearer, you may have noticed that wearing a face mask can cause your lenses to fog. There appears to be a simple solution. In a 2011 study by the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, researchers advised washing the glasses with soapy water “immediately” before wearing a face mask. After shaking off any excess water, “let the spectacles air dry or gently dry off the lenses with a soft tissue before putting them back on. Now the spectacle lenses should not mist up when the face mask is worn,” they wrote. Source: Foxnews.com Check pets for ticks — If you’re spending time outdoors as a way to get some fresh air while physical distancing, or if you have a pet who needs to go outside, it is important to know that ticks are most active in the summer months. While there are actions you can take to prevent ticks, such as avoiding grassy and wooded areas, using insect repellents, and treating your clothing with products containing permethrin, you should always do a body scan and check for ticks after spending time outdoors. 1. Grab a pair of fine-tipped sterilized tweezers. 2. Using the tweezers, grab and pinch the tick’s head vs its swollen abdomen (do not grab at swollen abdomen of tick). 3. Pull straight out; do not twist. Nail

polish, petroleum jelly or heat will not help you remove the tick. If the tick breaks in half, remove the mouth parts with clean tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth parts easily, leave them alone and the skin will heal. 4. Wash the site where the tick was on your skin with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. 5. Never crush a tick. To dispose, put the tick in alcohol or in a sealed bag or container. You may want to save the tick for further reference, if needed.

Now it looks like choosing the right beverage can also help. Women who sip green or oolong tea may be able to gain extra breast cancer protection, according to a study published in the journal Anticancer Research. Researchers at St. Louis University in Missouri, led by Chunfa Huang, Ph.D., an associate research professor in the department of internal medicine, tested extracts of various teas against several types of breast cancer cells. Huang included extracts from green, oolong, black and other dark teas. His results indicated that green and oolong teas could stop the growth of breast cancer cells; the two types of tea worked equally well against. Black and other dark teas had no effect, he said.

Husband/wife team take on challenge of Ibsen’s ‘Hedda Gabler’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brandi Davis is still trying to grasp the essence of her character. Davis plays the title role THEATER in the production of Henrik Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” at Westfield Playhouse Sept. 24 to Oct. 4. “Everything about the role is challenging,” said Davis, an Elwood resident. “Hedda is a very complex character, so trying to peel away all the layers and figure out who Hedda is, is extremely difficult. We’re about three weeks into rehearsal and I’ve played the character different every single night and still haven’t settled on anything.” Gabler is the daughter of an aristocrat who married an aspiring professor even though she doesn’t love him. The play is directed by Davis’ husband, Adam Davis, who is directing at Westfield Playhouse for the first time. “This has been a show I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Adam Davis said. “It came across my plate 15 years ago to read this. I was just hooked immediately by the characters and how real they are. Ibsen doesn’t write characters. He writes people into situations. Every time I read it, and I’ve probably read it 100 times in the last 15 years, I find something new or a connection between the characters. The cast is super talented. I was really fortunate with who I was able to cast in the show.” Westfield resident Alex Dantin plays George Tesman, who is Hedda’s husband. “It’s a very challenging role because it’s a translated play from (Danish),” Dantin said. “It’s from the late 1880s, so it has a very different tone to it, which makes it difficult to learn all the lines correctly and the way they are meant to be said. I’ve been working on trying to get the lines down and the pattern down.” Dantin, 43, returned to acting after a 20year absence when he performed in “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” at Westfield Playhouse in September 2019.

“I missed (acting),” Dantin said. “I was looking for something to do during the colder months. I saw Westfield had a thriving community for action and decided to jump back in.” Steven Marsh, a Carmel resident who has dual roles of producer and cast member (he plays Judge Brack), said the character study and interaction are fascinating. “It seems like you think you know where the show is going and then it swerves and becomes this character piece where people start ping-ponging off each other,” Marsh said. “I love it when you are surprised by something, even if in hindsight it all makes sense.” Noblesville High School senior Rosie Allenson is the assistant director. “This is my assistant directorial debut,” Allenson said. “It is a bit daunting to do it with an adult play, but it makes it that much more exciting. I’ve worked with a couple of these actors before and they are all stunning on stage.”

Allenson read the script before the cast was finalized. “I read it three times before the start of rehearsals,” Allenson said. “I fell in love with the author’s style of writing. Adam warned me the first time you’ll get the plot and nothing else. The second time you’ll make connections and the third time it will click. It was exactly like that. He has a particular style of writing where you have to dissect to understand certain connections. Once you understand them, it’s a completely different story. I enjoyed reading it and seeing it on stage.” Allenson said her role is mostly technical. “I make sure the blocking doesn’t look awkward on stage and I help with the characterization as well, which I really enjoy,” she said. Audience capacity will be limited to 25 percent, or approximately 40 people, for each of the eight performances. For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.

“Protection YOU Can Trust, From the Family That Cares.”

CHS graduate Horton directs groundbreaking short film By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Sydne Horton was sold on film directing when she heard about the plot for “META.” “META” highlights the internalFILM ized battle of trans/nonbinary people when battling dysphoria. Set during a 1980s-themed prom, the story follows Artie Talbot, a transboy on his senior prom night when he unexpectedly gets his period, which causes a monstrous transformation that challenges Artie’s perceptions of himself. The script was written by Horton’s friend Savannah Ward. “The moment Savannah pitched their idea for ‘META’ to me, I immediately knew this was a story that had to be shared,” said Horton, a 2013 Carmel High School graduate. “I can’t emphasize enough how important and influential it is for people to see a part of themself on screen, and with this film I hope that we are able to connect to those that are searching for their identity or struggling to accept who they are. This film is really about identity as a whole no matter who you choose to love or how you identify.” “META,” which the writer uses as short for metamorphosis, had its world premiere Aug. 23 at the Outfest Los Angeles Film Festival.

It is slated to be included at the Out on Film Atlanta’s LGBTQ Film Festival, which starts Sept. 24, followed by the Out for Blood at Cambridge UK’s Queer Horror Film Festival in late October. “I am incredibly humbled and grateful to say that the reaction to ‘META’ so far has been nothing short of welcoming,

supportive and warm,” Horton said. “It’s a genre-bending piece that takes what would be a coming-of-age story and twists it by turning it into an introspective psychological thriller.” Horton said she hopes one day “META” can be a full-length film. It is just under 10 minutes now. The three lead actors were Jordan Gonzalez, Tess Speranza and Tameka Cruel. Horton is directing a feature-length documentary that provides a hands-on look into a family separated and weighed down by the societal stigmas of mental illness. She also is set to direct a music video and a short horror film in the coming months. Aside from directing, Horton is working with the props team on FX’s “American Crime Story Impeachment,” which explores President Bill Clinton’s impeachment and the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Commentary by Anna Skinner

Address: 1702 Bellefontaine St., Indianapolis   What to get: Turkish Wet Burger Price: $14 Anna’s take: Scarlet Lane Gastropub is a cute little spot in downtown Indianapolis. It has exposed brick walls and a limited but delicious menu. I started with beer-steamed mussels ($10), a heaping bowl of beersteamed mussels with herbs and crostini. The mussels are steamed in Scarlet Lane’s own beer. For my main dish, I tried the Turkish Wet Burger, which is a beef and lamb patty with feta. The burger is smothered in a tomato sauce and served with a side

salad. Scarlet Lane gave me the impression of high-class food, but the environment isn’t stuffy like some fancy restaurants in the area. I relaxed with a pint of Scarlet Lane Myopic Hazy IPA and enjoyed a delicious meal at the bar.

Behind bars: Bali Bee’s Knees Get it at Alcomy, a mobile mixology experience Ingredients: 2 oz. Roku Gin, .5 oz. pear liqueur, 1 oz. homemade lemongrass honey ginger syrup, .75 oz. lemon juice, 1 egg white or aquafaba for vegans, dehydrated lemon, candied ginger Directions: Add egg white and all ingredients to a mixing tin and dry shake (without ice) to properly emulsify all ingredients. Add ice, wet shake and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with dehydrated lemon and candied ginger. Recipe for homemade honey ginger lemongrass syrup: 1 cup pure cane sugar, 1 cup clover honey, 4 cups water, 1 small stalk peeled lemongrass, 1/4 cup sliced thin or diced ginger. Heat sugar, honey and water to liquify. Add lemongrass and ginger, simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain into bottle or jar; will last two to three weeks refrigerated.

A history of Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair

Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Don Knebel)

to a local legend, Mrs. Macquarie enjoyed spending time on the tip of a peninsula on the south side of the harbor, where she sat on a sandstone outcropping to watch the ships sailing to and from England. In 1813, to facilitate her visits, then-Major Gen. Macquarie built a 3-mile-long road from the Government House to what is now known as Mrs. Macquarie’s Point. Convicts carved the sandstone into the shape of a bench. A later inscription on the bench tells the story of the road. Today, the area around Mrs.

DISPATCHES Herb inhibits sugar cravings — A woody climbing shrub that comes from the forests of India and Southeast Asia called gymnema — dubbed the “destroyer of sugar” — is finally making its way to the U.S. New York City-based startup Sweet Defeat is the first company to develop and market the herb to American consumers. The plant has a long history of use in India’s Ayurvedic medicine practices to help patients with diabetes and weight loss. The mint could potentially help the more than 30 million adults that have diabetes in the U.S., according to the American Diabetes Association. Source: foxbusiness.com

Commentary by Don Knebel One of the most popular destinations for visitors to Sydney, Australia, is named for the wife of a British army offiTRAVEL cer who started the country on the path to what it is today. In 1788, with the American colonies no longer available as dumping grounds for its convicts, England established a penal colony known as New South Wales on what is now eastern Australia and New Zealand. The colony was initially governed by military officers, one of whom was William Bligh, the captain of the HMS Bounty at the time of the mutiny. After Bligh was deposed as governor of New South Wales in 1808, he was replaced by Col. Lachlan Macquarie, who was charged with bringing order to the colony, which by then included freed prisoners. By the time Macquarie returned to England in 1822, he had begun the transformation of New South Wales from a prison colony to a free settlement that included almost 40,000 nonindigenous people. Macquarie brought with him to New South Wales Elizabeth, a cousin he married after his first wife died. At least according

Macquarie’s Chair, adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens, offers a panoramic view of the Sydney Harbour, including the famous Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and Kirribilli House, the residence of Australia’s prime minister.

Variety is unhealthy — “Eat a variety of foods.” Since the early 20th century, it’s been bedrock advice. The rationale: The more different kinds of foods you eat, the more likely you are to get all the nutrients you need. It’s still the official advice of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. Unfortunately, this advice is likely to lead to less healthy diets. People who eat more “varied” diets tend to consume more sugar-sweetened soda, processed meats and salty snacks.
