Hahn Plaza to bring restaurants, fuel center
By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com
With 191st Street being one of the last and first exits into Hamilton County, WKRP Indy owner Curt Whitesell views the area as a prime place for DEVELOPMENT development. Whitesell, the listing broker on the project, said the recently approved Hahn Plaza development is classified as mixed use, meaning it will feature stand-alone restaurants with a drive-thru option, a fuel center, day care centers, retail and possibly medical offices. He said he could even see an urgent care facility as part of the development. When Oak Ridge Road and Spring Mill Road are extended to re-direct traffic from Wheeler Road, Whitesell said 191st Street will be the primary corridor in and out of Grand Park. Whitesell said national chain restaurants will likely covet placement at the intersection because three hotels have been approved on adjacent corners. “As (Ind.) 32 moves west, it becomes less

Plan commission sends Lindley Run to council At the Nov. 5 Westfield Advisory Plan Commission meeting, members sent the Lindley Run proposal onto city council with a unanimous favorable DEVELOPMENT recommendation. The proposal spans 106.5 acres at the southeast quadrant of Grassy Branch Road and 196th Street. If approved, it would offer three types of housing – for-sale townhomes, duplexes and single-family homes. Jon Dobosiewicz, a land-use professional with Nelson and Frankenberger, gave an update on the project. If approved, the project will feature 25 percent open space, an amenities shelter, a playground, a fire pit and a fitness trail. After a public hearing and comments from plan commission members at an October meeting, the plan now includes a 1,500-square-foot community clubhouse, a community pool and a dog park. Additional trails also were added throughout the development. Dog waste stations were added around the townhome area. “We are really trying to create some additional circuits and interactivity between
60 duplexes and 240 for-sale townhomes. The townhomes are proposed to start in the $150,000s and the duplexes would start in the low $200,000s. The singlefamily homes would range from the mid$200,000s to the low $300,000s. APC member Ginny Kelleher commended the project on its connectivity with other nearby subdivisions. “I think this is probably the most interconnected subdivision within itself and other subdivisions I’ve seen 191st Street so far, so I applaud Lindley Run is 106.5 acres and includes three home types.

The band performed a show called “Travelogue.” Band director Mark Sands said the show represented a traveling tourist and began with the band performing “An American in Paris” by George Gershwin, followed by Toto’s “Africa” and “New York, New York” by Frank Sinatra. “We started out in Paris and we’d do choreography and then flew to Africa and shifted gears and did Toto’s ‘Africa’ and did some body work and choreography emulating African dance, and then we wound up in New York City for the big finale and did Frank Sinatra’s ‘New York, New York,” Sands said. Originally, the state finals were scheduled for Oct. 20, but a wind storm postponed the competition at Lawrence Central High School. The Indiana State School Music Association instituted a one-week delay, and Sands said the band was able to practice the routine

Although this year was the highest the band has placed at state, Sands said it’s not about the placement. “It’s about how the kids perform-show musically and have a lot of fun and learn to interact and to work together,” he said.

Quakenbush will be the county’s new sheriff By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Republican Dennis Quakenbush will replace Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen, who could not run again ELECTION because of Indiana term limits for sheriffs, in 2019 to serve a four-year term. Quakenbush rose to the top of a group of four Republican candidates in the May primary election, beating Bill Clifford, Eddie Moore and Mitch Russell. On Nov. 6, Quakenbush defeated Democrat Jason Straw and Libertarian Dorn Brenton. By the end of election night, Quakenbush received 82,499 votes (59.95 percent), compared to Straw’s 48,810 votes (35.9 percent) and Brenton’s 4,663 votes (3.43 votes). Quakenbush said serving under both Sheriff Doug Carter and Sheriff Mark Bowen played a major role in preparing him for the role.

“Over the past year, I have had hundreds of volunteers come forward and help the ‘Push For Quakenbush,’” he stated. “It is difficult to put into words just how much this means to my family and I. Thousands of hours have been volunteered on my behalf, and I couldn’t be more thankful.”

CREATING A BUSINESS
In March 2017, Monson founded Midwest Athletic Supply and created an Instagram account where he sold sports-related jerseys and hats. Occasionally, he sold vintage items. When he started, Monson only had 50 Instagram followers. Then, he met several other Indianapolis-area thrifting business owners and participated in a vintage flea market. That relationship served as the basis to transform his company into more vintage material. In July 2017, Monson changed his business’s name to Vintage Indy and now only offers vintage items. Managing Vintage Indy isn’t Monson’s full-time job. He is a logistics recruiter during the day, so he isn’t too concerned with making a large profit with his company. He tries to keep prices low because most of his customers are college-aged. However, some clientele are collectors. Typically, Monson barters prices with potential buyers. Much of his material sells for between $15 and $25.
SEEING SUCCESS

WHS grad creates documentary, films finds at every Goodwill in the state By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Ryan Monson became interested in bargain vintage finds at Goodwill and similar stores while in college when thrifting was popular. That interest has COVER STORY transformed into a popular social media-based business, which is the topic of his documentary film, “Goodwill Hunting Indiana.” The 2012 Westfield High School graduate buys most of his vintage finds at Goodwill and Salvation Army. To ramp up exposure, he created a documentary for Instagram TV where he films his finds at every Goodwill in Indiana. “I’m the type of person that will see a current situation and say what’s the one thing nobody’s doing and say, ‘OK, I’m going to do that.’ Nobody’s doing the personality route,” he said. “I love traveling, and the coolest thing is I’m going to make history and get publicity.” Monson, 25, said thrift shoppers typically don’t travel beyond a narrow geographic radius, but he does. He films himself as he thrifts and then posts it for the public to watch.
Monson publishes a new episode for his documentary every Wednesday. They are available on Instagram under his username @vtgindy and also on YouTube. He started the series in July.
A HUMBLE BEGINNING
Monson’s path to becoming a social media celebrity began when he attended Taylor University. “Just being in college, it’s such a popular thing to thrift, so I was thrifting a lot in college and I was just reselling a couple things, like hats I wasn’t wearing, jerseys I wasn’t wearing anymore and making two or three dollars here and there,” he said. The Instagram account of a childhood friend caught Monson’s eye because he had nearly 10,000 followers for selling vintage shoes. “I didn’t even know that culture existed, so I wondered if you could sell clothes,” he said. “I had no idea, so I decided I would try it.”
Monson began to see rapid growth on his Instagram page earlier this year. He now has more than 5,000 followers. To widen his audience, he creates Instagram polls and conducts hashtag research. Indianapolis customer, model and friend Matt Jones can attest to that. He came across Monson’s Instagram profile and was asked by Monson to model some merchandise. “I’m willing to help anybody out who’s willing to do stuff like that,” Jones said. “I appreciate finding a good treasure from Goodwill, and he and I have gone a couple times to Goodwill on his adventure of trying to go and see and purchase something from every Goodwill store in Indiana.” The partnership turned into a friendship. “It’s been a cool experience following along with him and seeing how he’s progressed so far,” Jones said. “His (business) model is a unique one in the sense that he’s using Instagram as a source to create what you would call your side hustle. He found a way to find something he’s passionate about and using that as a pedestal to be able to create a business for it.” In the future, Monson wants to operate Vintage Indy out of a store instead of his Fishers apartment. He said somewhere near Castleton or Keystone at the Crossing would be ideal. “I want it to be overwhelmingly (necessary) that I need to get a store before I (do),” he said. “I’m trying to keep my options open.”
WHAT’S CONSIDERED VINTAGE Vintage is a relative term, usually meaning something a little different to everyone. For Ryan Monson, most of his merchandise is from the 1990s. The oldest item Monson has ever found is an Elvis T-shirt from 1975. The latest year Monson sells as “vintage” is 2005, but most of his vintage items are from the 1980s or ‘90s.

ESSAY Gift of giving
LETTER Purchasing greenspace
Commentary by Terry Anker Just as sure as the calendar turns and the leaves pile under the trees, our collective thinking lurches forward to the coming season. Hopes fade for family picnics, turning instead towards a crackling fire in the hearth. Retail stores bring forth holiday merchandise with Thanksgiving granted a passing glance before the looming shopping season. In many homes, Halloween decorations are replaced by the flickering lights of Christmas. The resolute among us hold out, with tradition dictating proper attention to each celebration. First, we feast on turkey and stuffing. Then, we plan the roast beef and cranberries. No matter how we mark the season, for most of us it will include giving. We give to those beloved in our homes. We give to our friends and neighbors. We give to our colleagues, employees and to those who provide services to us throughout the year. Still more, we give to those in need. We give to the many institutions and organizations that serve. It is important to give. It feels good, and it matters. Do it. Yet, for many, the time of generosity is challenged by anxiety about how to sort it all out. Even if the desire to give is strong, can we give too much? Which gift is too extravagant? Which agency is most equipped to serve those in need? We are inundated with worthy requests. In 2017, nonprofits sent 166 individual requests to our family from Thanksgiving until New Year’s Eve – an additional 32 solicitations arrived via the U.S. Postal Service. Some were industrious, sending as many as 11 pleas in the 40-day period. Because we answered the call of many, the mailbox will see scores more this year. Can there be too much?

Voting and flying shrimp tails Commentary by Danielle Wilson Our oldest came home from college during the weekend for a number of reasons, one of which was to celebrate HUMOR his 20th birthday at Benihana. Since he also had scheduled an orthodontist appointment for Monday, G figured he could stay until Tuesday to vote. Doo and I congratulated ourselves on raising such a mature and responsible heir. Plus, we now had an excuse to see a hibachi chef chuck shrimp tails into his hat. Win-win! Turns out G really couldn’t miss class, and because trying to find an hour to vote from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on a non-holiday Tuesday is nearly impossible for teachers/people who work (and utterly ridiculous if you’re asking me, which you kind of are since you’re reading this!), G and I decided we should cast our ballots early. We started at one of the libraries, where the end of the line snaked through the DVD section. When I jokingly asked a volunteer
if “Pretty Woman” was the three-hour mark, she replied in all seriousness, “Probably. Might be four.” We left. Not to be deterred, we drove to another early voting site, which thankfully had a much shorter wait of only 95 minutes. In the end, I spent almost three hours essentially trapped with my very talkative son who acted like we hadn’t spoken since our last election adventure in 2016. Stephen King, politics, Netflix shows, accounting gibberish, fantasy every-sport — I was utterly exhausted by the time I finally voted. But I made memories with my child, and when I add to those the impressive display of knife-flipping at dinner, it was truly a wonderful birthday celebration. Peace out.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism. -Alexander Hamilton
Editor, Westfield Washington Township has listened to the community and is pleased that the board has approved funds to purchase land for greenspace. Based on the 2010 Township Parks Comprehensive Plan set forth by the previous administration, there was a desire to look for opportunities to acquire more property for township parks. In 2015, the township held public meetings and distributed surveys that confirmed the community was concerned about losing greenspace. The township board adopted a parks and open space master plan in 2016 that made the preservation of natural areas through land acquisition a priority. Board members David Gill and Gary Southerland passed a resolution in 2017 to preserve land and to offset large development to the south. Communities that are saturated with development are now struggling to retrofit with greenspace and are at the mercy of high land cost. The township is being proactive and working with many partners to make sure the area outlined above is preserved instead of developed. In fast-growing cities, property taxes are not always able to cover all the necessary costs for fire and community-driven expenses. Townships, therefore, have to seek tax increases or loans. If you want additional facts about this plan, please contact the Township Office at trustee@wwtownship.us. Danielle Carey Tolan, Westfield Washington Township Trustee

Not-so macho man Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I had a chainsaw at our old house but found it to be very inefficient. I took it back to the dealer and told him it HUMOR took me hours to cut down one little limb. “Let me give it a try,” said the clerk, who then pulled the cord. Varoom! “Geez, what’s that noise?” I asked. “It never did that before.” “Look, Mr. Wolfsie, I once saw you walk into a plate-glass window on your morning TV segment. You are not someone who should mess with power tools.” I’m actually very good with power tools. I have never once had a problem starting my lawn mower. I did have one accident, though. I almost broke my nose when I tripped over the extension cord to my weed wacker. The chainsaw had been untouched in our old garage for about 25 years, which also is true of Step 4 of the Scott’s lawn fertilizer, because by the end of fall, I really don’t care what my lawn looks like. During last year’s storms, a fairly goodsized tree had blown down and grazed the
side of the house. My wife immediately panicked. “Relax,” I told her. “We’re OK.” “No, we’re in danger! This means you’re going to use that chainsaw.” The next day, I dug through the garage and found it. There was one doo-dad labeled “choke,” and I did. There was a little plastic bubble that I vaguely remembered I had to push several times. I pulled the cord 30 times. Suddenly, the motor began to hum. But the chain didn’t turn. I found a nearby repair shop and drove over. An elderly gentleman asked if he could assist me. He picked up the saw, pushed a button and said: “The safety was on.” I didn’t bat an eye. “Thanks! What do I owe you?” I asked the man, who now looked vaguely familiar. “Forget it,” he offered. Then, as I started to leave, he added: “Be careful, Mr. Wolfsie. You’re about to walk into another plate-glass window.”

Connor said the quality and consistency of Bier’s beer is what will make the brewery successful in Carmel. “The bottom line is you have to have good beer, and our history shows, with all the medals that we’ve won and so forth, that we’re consistent in our quality,” he said. “That’s the No. 1 issue that small breweries are facing nowadays, is consistency.

It will soon be easier for Carmel residents to enjoy a growler at Bier Brewery. The brewery is opening EXPANSION a new location in Carmel at 13720 N. Meridian St. The Bier Carmel Taproom’s grand opening is set for noon to 10 p.m. Nov. 10. It will be Bier’s second location (the first is on 65th Street in Indianapolis). According to owner Jerry Connor, Bier Brewery has planned to open in Carmel for more than a year. He said the new taproom will offer convenience for those who live in or near Carmel along with a larger space. “I can’t tell you through these past few months how many people have stopped by and said, ‘Thanks for opening here, we can’t get down to your other location as much,’ so the convenience is great for people,” Connor said. “We’ve doubled our size. The taproom is twice the size of our taproom in Indianapolis. I think this taproom is about 3,500 square feet, and the taproom in Indy is only 1,600 square feet.” Bier Brewery has won state and national
Texas Roadhouse is poised to open a new 7,000-square-foot restaurant in Westfield’s Greyhound Plaza shopRESTAURANT ping center. Construction began earlier this year on the site where a Don Pablo’s restaurant once stood at 14758 Greyhound Plaza. Managing partner Jack Brittingham said Texas Roadhouse is slated to open as early as this month or early December. He said the area is the perfect fit for the new venture. “It’s a fantastic area,” Brittingham said. “With the visibility that the location has and also with Grand Park being where it is and the growing of Westfield, it only made sense.” He said the project has been in the works for the past year. The number of people visiting Grand Park and number of visitors in the city is an added benefit. “We are a family based restaurant and everybody that travels in and out of Westfield and Carmel, this is great place for a local restaurant known nationwide with

visibility that’s right there for visitors,” Brittingham said. The new restaurant will employ a staff of nearly 200. Brittingham said after working with Texas Roadhouse for 17 years, the most rewarding part is getting to know the community. “We put a ton of money into things that give back to the community,” he said. “So, I am excited to be a part of this town.” He said he also is looking to help with fundraising for schools in Carmel and Westfield. “We want to be a part of everything in the community,” he said.

The Riverview Health surgery team pauses with the ExcelsiusGPS equipment at Riverview Hospital in Noblesville. (Submitted photo)
Spine-surgery technology debuts at Riverview By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Riverview Health is continuing its trend of upgrading and updating. The county health sysSURGERY tem recently announced its purchase of ExcelsiusGPS, new equipment that assists surgeons by providing a real-time visualization to spine implant placements. Riverview officials said the equipment is unique in that it takes into account each patient’s anatomy to make spine surgeries as precise as possible. “We’re committed to providing the highest quality care for our patients, which in-
cludes investing in the latest technologies,” said Seth Warren, president and CEO of Riverview Health. “We’re excited about the new opportunities ExcelsiusGPS brings to the field of minimally invasive spine surgery, robotics and navigation.” The ExcelsiusGPS technology was designed to increase safety and accuracy in the operating room, but it also has other features like reduced radiation exposure for the patient, surgeons and staff. Because it facilitates minimally invasive procedures, there may be less blood loss and less muscle damage during surgery, which could lead to a faster recovery. For more, visit riverviewhealth.org.

DISPATCHES Riverview welcomes new physician — Riverview Health is pleased to welcome Dr. Laura Johnson to Noblesville Family Medicine. As a board-certified family physician that focuses on preventive medical techniques and wellness, Johnson finds it crucial to address issues before they are detrimental to her patients. She became interested in joining Riverview Health after witnessing the impressive care her mother received here after breaking her hip. Johnson earned her medical degree from Indiana University. Kids and flu season — Whether or not your child gets vaccinated for the flu is a personal choice that only you as a parent should
make. But regardless of your decision, it’s essential to take other steps to support your child’s immune system to reduce his/ her risk of catching the flu and to increase the child’s ability to recover quickly if illness does occur. And the good news is, you don’t need harsh drugs to do this! Sleep is an important factor. Make sure your child gets eight to 10 hours a night. Fish oil also helps. It helps with brain function, energy and healthy hormone development in growing kids. Though it does not directly act as an antiviral, a fish oil supplement strengthens the body, which promotes a robust immune system. Fish oil is generally safe for children ages four and older.

Saxophonist James to perform at Palladium By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Boney James’ jazz style leans more to the rhythm and blues side. Some have described his jazz as muscular MUSIC and gritty. “I’ve never thought of myself as a smooth jazz artist, per se. I’ve always been grateful those stations play my music,” James said. “I just try to be me. I don’t know if I fit so neatly into any category. I’m sure every artist feels that way. I just try to do my own thing.” James, a four-time Grammy Award nominee, will perform at 8 p.m. Nov. 16 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “It’s a beautiful venue. We’re really excited about going back,” said James, who previously visited in April 2016. James has been touring since the album “Honestly” came out in September 2017. James said the tour will likely extend through the summer of 2019. “The record has got such legs, it’s all good,” James said. “We just had the third No. 1 single (‘Up All Night’) off the record and two R&B singles.’” The album is James’ 16th. “Every record is my baby and I’m in love with it. I still feel very fondly about all the work I’ve put in,” James said. “This record did feel special when I turned it in. All I can really judge is how the fans are reacting to it. This one just felt like the songwriting was really, really strong and it seems like everyone else is agreeing.” James co-wrote all but one track, a rendition of Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael’s “Skylark.” James said four to five songs will be part of the concert set. “It’s tough in a 90-minute show because you have to figure out where you are going to put all the new music because there are all these other songs people want to hear,” James said. “Invariably, you’ll hear, ‘How come you didn’t play so and so.’ I quote k.d. Lang, the great artist, who I heard say on stage one time, ‘Too many hits, too little time.’” James said as the tour goes on, they add songs or change things.

“We just added that third single that went to No. 1,” James said. “There is a little tweaking, too. We change the arrangements, too, because sometimes someone will do something on stage. We’ll say, ‘That’s cool. Let’s put that in.’ It’s a little bit of a work in progress.” There is some improvisation, too. “It’s a nice combination of scripted and fresh every night, which is kind of a cool thing,” James said. Joining James on stage are a guitaristvocalist, bass player and keyboard player. They play at a variety of venues on the tour. “We play the Hollywood Bowl, which is
about 17,000 people, and then we are playing Jazz Alley in Seattle, which is like 250,” James said. “So, it runs the gamut.” James said the live music experience is more important than ever. “People are looking for moments to feel good now,” he said.James, who also plays keyboards, toured with Morris Day and then the Isley Brothers and others before embarking on his solo career. James is based in Los Angeles, where his wife, Lily Mariye, is an actress and director. She is best-known for her longtime role as nurse Lily Jarvik on “ER.”

CSO and CHS orchestra to perform By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com When Janna Hymes became music director for the Carmel Symphony Orchestra in September 2017, one of her goals MUSIC was to partner with the Carmel High School orchestra as an educational outreach. Little more than a year later, her objective has been accomplished. On Nov. 18, the CSO will perform a sideby-side concert with the CHS orchestra at 4 p.m. in the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The orchestras will perform three movements from Dvorak’s “New World Symphony. The piece, according to CSO education director Laura Payne, is a favorite of both orchestras. “We will have two rehearsals together before the performance,” Payne said. “The high school musicians have been preparing the Dvorak symphony during the semester, and the CSO musicians have performed it many times.” The concert will be the first time the orchestras have performed together. “A collaboration between adult and stu-

dent musicians is always a win-win for both groups,” Payne said. “The adults can share their expertise with the students, and the students can share their enthusiasm for performing with adults.” Carmel Symphony Orchestra will open with “The Inferno Dance” by Stravinsky, followed by Maya Kilburn, the 2018 Young Artist competition winner, performing the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s “Violin Concerto in D Major.” The CHS Strings will then perform “Jig” from Hoist’s “St. Paul Suite.” The concert will conclude with the orchestras joining for the Dvorak symphony.

The Rhône wine region is a famous area in Southern France. Here in the U.S., California offers a very WINEderlust similar climate. In the early 1980s, a group of American winemakers created a nonprofit organization to promote U.S. wines containing at least 75 percent of the 22 Rhône grape varietals. They were known as the “Rhône Rangers,” and Fred Cline was one of the first members of this group. Cline Family Cellars still offers great wines in this approachable, French style. I recently sampled several of Cline’s wines and here’s what I enjoyed the most: Cline Family Cellars North Coast Viognier, $20, is a gorgeous, feminine-style white wine. Each glass offers a fragrant, perfumed nose with big tropical and stone-fruit flavors: pineapple, peaches and apricots. Often, Viognier can be flabby (unbalanced with heavy flavors and little structure), but not this one. She’s plenty balanced, making her lean enough to cut through the richness of cheese. If you’re sick of Chardonnay, give Viognier a swirl.
Cline Ancient Vines Mourvèdre comes from some of the wineries’ oldest vines. Very old vines produce little but extremely concentrated fruit, and that’s what this wine offers. Dark and velvety with almost a year of oak aging and pronounced flavors of plums and chocolate. I had this wine with Paneer Curry and it was an excellent match. Heavier roasted meats also would be outstanding ($16). 2016 Cashmere Red Wine (by Cline), $23. Think dark chocolate and cherries and raspberries with a tannic backbone. Warm flavors of cloves and spicy cracked pepper. Cashmere Red is a blend of Grenache, Syrah & Mourvèdre (often referred to as a “GSM”). A very smooth wine, this would be a good choice when trying to satisfy the palates of several different folks. Elizabeth Morse owned the Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple for close to 20 years. She is a graduate of IU, is a Hoosier chef, food writer, wine guru and Hamilton County Master Gardener who believes in supporting all things local.

ATI presents holiday classic By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com For Suzanne Fleenor, there is one major mission in presenting “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio THEATER Play.” “I think the greatest challenge is to bring as much warmth and humanity to the radio play as you see in the movie because it’s such an iconic Pfeiffer movie,” Fleenor said. The Actors Theatre of Indiana will present the Christmas favorite Nov. 16 to Dec. 23 at the Studio Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The play is a tribute to live radio in the 1940s and Frank Capra’s holiday film classic, which starred Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed as George and Mary Bailey. “I’ve never done a radio play before. I usually direct musicals,” Fleenor said. ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald, Cynthia Collins and Don Farrell are all performing in the production. Fitzgerald, a Carmel resident, portrays Sally Applewhite, who is the voice of Mary Bailey. “I’ve never done this show before and I’ve
seen (the movie) a zillion times,” Fitzgerald said. “I listened to the radio show they did do with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. You want to sound as much like them as you can.” Paul Tavianini, making his ATI debut, portrays Jake Laurents, who does the voice of George. Tavianini performed as George in a Ball State live radio play for Indiana Public Radio in Cohen 2016. “It’s a reminder what this form (radio) used to be back in the day and it’s fun to do it even now,” Tavianini said. Westfield resident Annabelle Pfeiffer, 10, plays Zuzu. Pfeiffer has previously acted in Christian Youth Theater. “I just (recently) saw the movie and I really liked it,” said Pfeiffer, an Oak Trace Elementary fourth-grader. Carmel resident Sadie Cohen, 9, portrays Young Mary. “I don’t think there are any bad words in this one,” said Cohen, a West Clay Elementary fourth-grader. “I’ve never been in a (regular) play before, but I’ve been in musicals.”

Address: 201 W. Main St., Carmel What to get: Impossible Sliders Price: $14 Anna’s take: 3UP Rooftop Bar is breathtaking because of its atmosphere and panoramic view of downtown Carmel. The food only adds to that. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. Outside heaters keep you warm even in winter. 3UP allowed me to try several items, including shaved brussels ($11), short rib slammers ($15), fried oyster po’boy ($24) and Impossible Sliders ($14). My personal favorite was the Impossible Sliders, two sandwiches topped with a kale and cilantro salad, a chili lime dressing and served on a pretzel bun. The meat is plant-based and completely vegan. I’ve had my share of vegan and vegetarian burgers, and they’ve never fully satisfied me because of the different texture. But these did. They are stacked high and are a wonderfully filling meal. If I wasn’t told the meat was vegan, I would have had no idea. The shaved Brussels is a Brussels sprouts salad dish stacked with charred
Brussels leaves tossed with raisins, walnuts, candied bacon and a lemon poppyseed vinaigrette. The salad tastes like a mix of the seasons because it has wintery ingredients such as Brussels sprouts, but the candied bacon and lemon poppyseed vinaigrette reminded me of summer. The short rib slammers are a housebraised short rib with smoked onions and queso blanco cheese sandwiched between a pretzel bun and served with a side of 3UP’s “hot chips.” The sliders are served with a house-made English sweet and spicy pickle. The fried oyster po’boy nearly beat out the Impossible Sliders as my favorite, because I am a sucker for anything oyster. 3UP takes the mess out of a po’boy by serving the dish open-faced on a bed of field greens. The oysters are dusted with a Delaware Bay seasoning and pan fried, then nestled against a peach chorizo chutney and a grilled piece of Cajun toast. Although 3UP is on the second floor above the formal and elegant Anthony’s Chophouse, the vibe is different. 3UP encourages shared plates and is an inviting place for friends to enjoy cocktails before an evening out. Suggested pairings: Pair both slammers with the Blueberry Botanical, a light, refreshing cocktail featuring gin, basil and lime juice. Pair the fried oyster po’boy with the Smoked Pineapple, a mezcal-centric drink which tastes slightly smoky due to the sweet and salty rim and the mezcal, which is sweeter, richer and smokier than tequila.
Behind bars: Blueberry Botanical Get it at 3UP Rooftop Bar, Carmel Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Bombay Sapphire, .75 oz. Blueberry simple syrup, .75 oz. lime juice, .75 oz. St. Elder, 2 basil leaves Directions: Muddle basil leaves and blueberry simple syrup in a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients, add ice, shake and double strain into an old-fashioned glass.

The Mona Lisa of prehistory Commentary by Don Knebel
December 8, 4-6 p.m. Free & Open to the Public Visit our Facebook page for updates @CarmelPorchfest Sponsored By
Athens’ National Archaeological Museum is one of the world’s greatest museums, exhibiting 11,000 items that showcase Greek civilizations from prehistory TRAVEL to late antiquity. Its most celebrated, as well as most controversial, possession is a death mask discovered by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann that has been called the “Mona Lisa of prehistory.” Schliemann was the most famous archaeologist of the 19th century, known as much for his self-promotion, sometimes based on outright falsehoods, as for his archaeological discoveries. He is best known for having uncovered what he claimed was the legendary city of Troy, the site of the Trojan War made famous by the “Iliad.” Convinced that Homer’s epic poem was based on actual events, Schliemann set out to find the tomb of Agamemnon, the mythical king of Mycenae who commanded the victorious Greek forces against the Trojans and was murdered upon his return by his wife’s lover. In 1876, while digging at Mycenae, Schliemann found five well-preserved
male bodies, the face of each covered by a mask. The most elaborate of the masks, made from a sheet of gold hammered over a wooden mold, showed a bearded man with his eyes appearing both open and closed. The ears were cut out to allow the mask to be fastened to the head with string. Claiming the mask resembled an illustration of Agamemnon, Schliemann told the king of Greece he had gazed into the face of the legendary king. Some skeptics, influenced by Schliemann’s truth problems, claimed he forged the mask from the illustration and planted it at the excavation site. However, most scholars believe the so-called “Mask of Agamemnon” is authentic, but fashioned in approximately 1500 B.C., 300 years before the reckoned date of the Trojan War and 200 years before the famous gold of Tutankhamen. Whether Agamemnon existed remains a mystery. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com.

DISPATCH Remedying foot odor — When sweat and cellular debris from bacteria and yeast begin to break down, you start to smell foot odor. As bacteria and fungi grow, your feet also become more vulnerable to infections such as athlete’s foot or toenail fungus. To make matters worse, athlete’s foot itself can create foot odor, too. Daily showering is an important step in fighting any type of body odor, but shower with antibacterial soap, dry your feet carefully (between your toes, too) and use antibacterial and antifungal foot powders and sprays that help keep feet dry. If these products don’t do the job, you also can use an antiperspirant on your feet. Source: Bottomlineinc.com

Deciphering a meeting request Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
between an amateur and a pro. A store’s semi-annual sale happens twice per year. So why all the confusion? Both a biannual meeting and a semiannual meeting occur twice a year, based on how they’re commonly used. I’ve worked for employers who pay bimonthly (twice a month) and others who pay biweekly (every other week). That’s inconsistent, or ambiguous at best. Although vague job titles are all the rage right now, vague meanings for words that describe how often things reoccur are just confusing. This ambiguity isn’t new, unlike the weird startup company titles. I recommend getting a job description in writing that spells out what exactly your new company’s expectations of you are and specify you want to get paid in U.S. dollars instead of a cryptocurrency your founder invented. When it comes to how often a meeting happens, try to avoid confusion by saying “twice a week,” “every other week,” or “twice a month.”
You snagged that great job at the hot new tech startup where they play ping pong on scooters. GRAMMAR GUY Your title is probably something like “chief dreamer,” “director of awesome,” or something else vague and millennial-friendly. Now, you get an email from the HR director (whose business card reads “VP of Hugs”) which states your paycheck will come biweekly. Does that mean you’ll get paid twice a week or every other week? With the big stack of cash your CEO just raised, they could probably afford to pay you twice a week, but it’s more likely biweekly here means you’ll get paid twice a month. Couldn’t your company’s VP of Hugs have also said you’ll get paid “semiweekly?” I’ve always been confused about the meaning and usage of “bi-” and “semi-.” In general, the prefix bi- means two or twice.
