All you need is love!

Shoe drive helps residents, environment By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Solid Waste Management District, after collecting a record number of shoe DONATE donations in 2019, again asks county residents to donate used and unneeded pairs of shoes for its eighth annual Reuse Heart & Soul shoe collection, which will run until Feb. 18. Jennifer Lawrence, executive director of the Boone County Solid Waste Management District, said the shoe collection is important not only because of its humanitarian effort, but also because of number of shoes that will be kept out of landfills. “While we love that this is a human-support program where we are providing someone with a pair of shoes, it is also about environmental impact,” Lawrence said. “And that’s why the solid waste management

district is a good fit for it so, really, it’s just a win-win for us because we are coming from that environmental aspect, but it’s such an important thing to give back. “Many of us are just so fortunate that we have plenty of shoes to pick from day in and day out, and there are others (such as) children when they’re growing up their shoe size is changing, and they don’t have one pair to pick from.” The district is partnering with Changing Footprints, an Indiana-based nonprofit. Changing Footprints will distribute 80 percent of the reusable shoes to central Indiana residents and 20 percent on mission

trips. The remaining shoes, whether single shoes or unwearable shoes, will be given to Nike. Nike will recycle any shoes that aren’t wearable through its Nike Grind process, a way of recycling items into new materials and products. The process prevents shoes from decomposing in landfills. The district has collected shoes for the annual collection since 2013. During that time, it has collected more than 25,000 pairs of shoes, Lawrence said. Last year, at 34 collection sites across the county, the collection took in 8,500 pairs of shoes. The district wants to collect even more this year with the addition of more donation sites across the county. Donations can be made at Zionsville Town Hall and Hussey Mayfield Memorial Library, among other local sites. For a full list, visit boonecountysolidwaste.com.

Mark Stoops, a Democrat who represents District 40.

ZFD honors staff at annual banquet By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com At the 20th annual Zionsville Firefighter banquet Feb. 1, Zionsville Fire Dept. Fire Chief James VanGorder and others recognized a AWARDS number of Zionsville Fire Dept. staff for exemplary service in 2019. On Nov. 11, several ZFD units were dispatched on reports of a structure collapse. All of the roof structure trusses had fallen and initial reports indicated two people were trapped. They were rescued by ZFD firefighters and transported to hospitals. For their efforts, the units involved were awarded a unit accommodation. In another instance, ZFD units were dispatched to a residence on a report of an elderly woman choking. The woman’s face had turned blue when units arrived, approximately 3 minutes after dispatch received the call. It was revealed by a family member that she was eating steak and a piece had lodged in her esophagus. The woman lost consciousness, but responders dislodged the blockage in time to save her life. The units and responders received a Lifesaving Award for their actions. Nathan Oakes was presented the Probationary Firefighter Commendation (Rookie of the Year award). Firefighter/EMT Shane Daugherty said Oakes “has the dedication that goes

He is one of the first to jump to assess the patient. He does not shy away from anything.” Abdullakh “Dully” Abamislimov, who has been a medic for one year, was received the Paramedic of the Year Award. “(He) has grown tremendously over his short career at the Zionsville Fire Dept.,” Daugherty said. Rob Coonfield was presented the Firefighter of the Year Award, which is given to a non-chief, active regular member who has made the most significant contribution to the department in the past year.

Whizzing through a short summer Commentary by Ward Degler I once owned a Whizzer motorbike. I was 12 years old, and we lived in a small town in central Missouri. I hadn’t considered buying it until PLAIN TALK someone told me the kid who owned it hit the railroad crossing too hard and broke the front wheel fork. It was sitting in pieces at the Western Auto garage. While I was standing there in the garage looking at it, the store manager came by and said, “Hey, you can buy that and fix it up for $75. Hardly got any miles on it.” “Haven’t got $75,” I said sadly. “Can you make payments? Say $10 a week? Have it paid off before school starts.” Did he know that I worked at the local dairy in the morning and mowed lawns in the afternoons? Probably. Like I said, it was a small town. My summer income was about $20 a week. He probably knew that, too. I gave a tentative yes and walked home, trying to figure out how to sell the idea to my parents. Mom would be against it. She thought roller skates were dangerous enough. Dad, however, might just go for it. After all, he had encouraged me when I was building a go-kart out of a discarded door and an old washing machine engine. When it actually ran, he said he was proud of me. I decided to remind him of that. He said yes with the proviso that I keep to the

streets and never drive it on the highway. The next day, I was the proud owner of a broken motorbike. The Whizzer consisted of a one-cylinder engine bolted to the frame of a regular bicycle. The gas tank attached to the top bar of the bike, and a rubber drive belt ran from the engine to a rim attached to the rear wheel. I already had a bike, and I could use the original for spare parts. Halfway through the summer, the drive belt broke and I discovered a replacement cost $30. I was still making payments to Western Auto, and it hadn’t rained for several weeks, which dried up my lawn mowing jobs. I discovered that for $3, I could buy a farm tractor fan belt the same size. But just before Labor Day, the exhaust pipe burned out, and I set my pants on fire a couple of times. Mom was understandably upset about that. “Blue jeans don’t grow on trees, you know!” By September, my Whizzer lay in pieces in our garage, and I had resurrected my bike. My dad made the last two payments to Western Auto, and I was left with memories of the saddest, sweetest and shortest summer ever.

“This hospital saved my husband's life.” When Michelle’s husband, Van, had a life-threatening brain infection, the fear and uncertainty about his health was overwhelming. But that changed when they turned to Hendricks Regional Health. “The kindness, the expertise, the support — these people came together for my family in an extraordinary way. I can’t put into words the gratitude I feel for Hendricks. We are so thankful we landed here.” Expert care when you need it most. Learn more about our world-class services at ThisIsHendricks.org.

Aspire Indiana receives $2.5M grant By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Aspire Indiana Health recently received a $2.5 million housing-assistance grant from HOUSING the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMHSA. The grant is for five years and covers Hamilton, Boone, Hancock, Hendricks and MadiKeevin son counties. The focus of the grant is to obtain housing for homeless individuals with serious mental illness issues. “Since it’s a SAMHSA grant, it is tied to growing integrated health care services. So, housing is a part of health care service because, if you think about it, someone who is homeless and living under a bridge, how are they taking care of diabetes or treating their foot that hurts?” Aspire Indiana Director of Strategic Initiatives Mike Keevin said. “(The grant) will help increase access to behavioral, primary and recovering health services.” Part of the grant will allow Aspire Indiana to fund an outreach representative to actively work with shelters and community partners to help individuals in need to find resources. “Part of that outreach is connecting them to the appropriate sources,” Keevin said. Aspire Indiana will hire five positions covering different roles specific to the grant. Grant funds also will go toward rental assistance. “The new workers will focus on improving the overall health care of the grant participants by connecting them to primary care, behavioral, employment and housing services,” Keevin said. “The incidence of mental health challenges among the homeless population is high, and we’re taking a comprehensive approach to their well-being that starts with a safe, secure place to live.”

Sycamore Street bridge shut down for repairs By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com A major access point in Zionsville closed this month, leaving some residents optimistic for the long-term benefits of the conCOVER STORY struction project despite shortterm inconvenience. The reconstruction project for the Sycamore Street bridge began Feb. 10. It involves reconstruction of the road bridge deck and bridge railing systems and adding decorative lighting on the rehabilitated bridge. The bridge is on Sycamore Street near Lions Park and spans Eagle Creek. The Boone County Highway Dept. is supervising the project. The bridge was inspected and deemed deficient in 2015, Boone County Commissioner Tom Santelli said. The bridge, and all other bridges in the county, were inspected for deficiencies by DLZ, a design firm specializing in engineering, architecture and surveying. The bridge then was inspected by another agency which also deemed it deficient before the county decided to move on the project. “We’ve had to reduce the speed on the bridge because the guardrails are deficient,” Santelli said. “The understructure is deficient. So, rather than have a firetruck fall through the bridge or have somebody hit ice on the bridge, go into those rails — they’re going to go off into the creek — our mission in Boone County, particularly with roads and bridges, is to have zero fatalities.” The project was slated for an early 2020 construction date with the goal of avoiding the Christmas season, a busy sales season for many businesses, Santelli said. He also said that the project, which is expected to last six months, couldn’t have been done in a way that avoided the summer months and the Christmas season. Because of the February start date, he said the Village was able to go through the 2019 Christmas sales season

unimpeded. Santelli said the project has been scheduled since 2015, when the county appropriated the necessary funds. But the town only recently sent a press release reminding business owners, which stirred frustration. New Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron said she was not informed of the project by a transition team. She said the town distributed information about the project in the form of a press release the day after she first was informed at a county meeting. “This was never mentioned,” Styron said. “This is a county project. The county manages the entire planning. The procurement, overseeing, (it’s) the construction team that does this. It presented a gap in terms of me knowing this was going to take place.” Styron said she regrets not being able to inform local business of the project start date sooner. “Clearly, I understand the frustration that the community has, because it does prevent a major entryway coming in to the town,” Styron said. “(It) will be closed, and we just opened up Zionsville Road, so the frustration, I share it, but all we can do as the Town of Zionsville is communicate what the county tells us. “We don’t control the message or the plan, but we can help share the information as we receive it.” Styron said the town will create additional signage to augment the county’s detour signs to help motorists better navigate town. During construction, the bridge will be completely closed to traffic. Detours will direct motorists in and out town via three other entry points: U.S. 421/

Michigan Road, 106th Street and Main Street. The trail system under the bridge connecting Lions Park to Creekside Park also will be closed throughout the project. However, the pedestrian bridge and trail system along Sycamore Street are expected to remain open with only periodic closures due to safety concerns, according to a press release. The scheduled reopening is Aug. 28, according to the town’s most recent update. Santelli said the Sycamore Street bridge project equates to “six months of inconvenience” for a bridge that is expected to last 80 years. For updates on the project, visit zionsville-in.gov.

WHAT ONE BUSINESS OWNER SAYS Although the Sycamore Street bridge is closed for a construction project that is expected to last until Aug. 28, one Zionsville business owner said she sees the project as “something that has to be done.” “It’s always a concern when you hear that a road, a major system in and out of town, is going to be shut down for an extended amount of time,” said Leighann Kogan, co-owner and manager of Zionsville Pizzaria. “Yeah, that’s scary for any business owner directly affected.” Kogan, however, said there are other entries into town, which she said should prevent drastic swings in business, especially during the summer months, which she said are the busiest months of the year for the pizzeria and surrounding businesses.

Commentary by Terry Anker It is time to even the score. We cannot let them get by with this! They need to learn a lesson. Or, so we think. It comes with the human condition that we all gauge our own position in the world by those around us. Like zebras on the Serengeti, we huddle together, looking for safety in numbers. How can we Generally, it has provbe in charge en to be a if they aren’t thoughtful strategy. listening? We have flourished on this blue sphere. Still, we carry within ourselves a need, justifiable or not, to keep the herd together, even if by force, shame or influence. One might argue a bit of benevolence here. Don’t get too far from the collective or you will be eaten by a lion. But how do we know that our intention to coerce others into staying put isn’t more for us than for them? How can we be in charge if they aren’t listening? We’ve developed all manner and sort of strategy for keeping our team members in their rightful place, directly behind us. We justify our indignation, exclaiming that we are forced into action by the malfeasance of others. We are just getting even. OK, but even with what? And, do we have a claim for even? Or, is the objective to protect ourselves by knocking down the contrast. Don’t outperform us because it makes us vulnerable. Don’t leave us alone on the plain or the lion will feast.

Not a routine morning Commentary by Danielle Wilson I’m annoyed, but maybe you can have a good laugh. My husband Doo came downstairs earlier HUMOR than usual this morning, turned on all the lights and sat at the kitchen counter to go through bills. He even tried talking to me. What the heck? Doesn’t he understand I have a routine, nay, a ritual, that depends on 90 percent darkness, 100 percent silence and absolutely 0 percent other people? Clearly, he does not, for when I said as much, he scoffed and proceeded to rip open envelopes as loudly as he could, right in front of my angry face. What a butt! Incidentally, this was the second such encounter in less than 12 hours. Last night, when I’d already turned back into a pumpkin and was literally trying to sleep (eyes closed, weighted blanket tucked, sound machine on blast), Doo insisted on a fashion show (yes, a fashion show; he was dying to parade his new birthday clothes

in every possible combination). With his stuff strewn across the room, including the bed, he kept walking in and out, asking, “How do these jeans look?” “Does this shirt wash me out?” I admit to enjoying his production, but seriously, I just wanted some ZZZs. And complaining to Doo obviously doesn’t work. He’s a classic extrovert who needs dramatic stimulus 24/7 while I require the exact opposite, which is basically anything resembling a float-tank session. It’s an enigma, for sure. In summary, my perfectly crafted morning and evening routines are being firebombed by a handsome bald guy in a new sweater vest with a dangerous aversion to online bill pay. It’s OK. Go ahead and laugh. Peace out.

Editor, I read the letter from Sen. Mike Braun as posted by last week’s writer in response to her asking if he would be an impartial juror in the impeachment (i.e. the Democratic hoax) trial. (The Senate trial concluded Feb. 5 with President Donald Trump acquitted on both articles of impeachment.) (Braun’s) response was wonderfully appropriate to one of his constituents clearly affected with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). TDS is a more serious issue than the coronavirus. By my estimate, TDS affects 35 to 40 percent of the American population, and while it is mainly on the east and west coasts, there are some TDS infected that walk amongst us here in Indiana. While there are times President Trump should have a second person (proof-read) at his tweets, and his brashness is at times uncomfortable, he is more truthful than any career politician I recall. So, I send a shoutout to Sen. Braun and say keep up the good fight! David Bellefuil, Zionsville

Violent nature of TV Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

On Sunday nights, we have a tradition in the Wolfsie family. Our son Brett comes over, and HUMOR after dinner we all watch one of the many nature shows on WFYI or the BBC. We are especially captivated by programs narrated by Sir Richard Attenborough, with his mesmerizing voice. The video clips of predatory animals, birds, fish and insects are enthralling. My wife gets emotionally involved in these shows. The photography vividly captures the incredible beauty and complexity of life. But it also highlights the tremendous competition for food. “Why do all these animals have to eat each other?” Mary Ellen asked me last week. “Why can’t they all be vegetarians?” Fair question. In fact, this was the very question Emma Darwin asked her husband Charles when she read his initial draft of “On the Origin of Species.” This put a damper on her hubby’s first attempt at a bestseller. Last Sunday, hyenas were chasing monkeys. Mary Ellen rooted for the monkeys, of course. When badgers preyed on cute prairie dogs, Mary Ellen covered her eyes, hoping the badgers would fail. Dingoes stalking baby kangaroos? She was screaming, “Hurry, hurry!” to the adorable joeys on the run. Polar bears were hunting seals in one episode, and Mary Ellen was rooting for the seals, but when she saw clips of the darling polar bear cubs

that hadn’t eaten in weeks, she didn’t know for whom to root. Mary Ellen was rooting against a lion when it stalked a baby deer for food, but later in the documentary, we saw a hungry cougar swimming in a river after a crocodile. This time, my wife rooted for the feline, especially when the photographers showed the adorable cubs back in her lair, pining for their dinner. “But what about those cute little crocodile hatchlings?” I goaded her, proud of myself for knowing what a baby croc is called. “Aren’t you rooting for them?” “Don’t confuse me,” Mary Ellen said. “I didn’t ask you why you rooted for the Indianapolis Colts all year, and then in the Super Bowl, all of a sudden you rooted for San Francisco.” “Huh?” There was much to unpack in that analogy, but on some bizarre level, she kind of had a point. Last Sunday, I suggested we break tradition and watch “The Lion King.” It was a nice change, because in the film no animal digests another animal. But in the final scenes, the evil lion Scar was about to be attacked by a clan of hyenas. This was no laughing matter. Oh, and this time, Mary Ellen was clearly rooting for the hyenas.

Coach encourages players Commentary by Brad Thompson news@currentinzionsville.com The data suggests that the vast majority of kids who play team sports in youth leagues will SPECIAL never be pros, or even OLYMPICS get a college scholarship for sports. Indeed, the majority will not play on their high school team or an intense travel team. Kids’ sports are about fun, fitness and sportsmanship. And that’s true of every youth league, including the Special Olympics. The vast majority of Special Olympic athletes will not compete in a statewide or national Special Olympics tournament. Coaching Special Olympic athletes is essentially the same as coaching any youth league. The emphasis is on learning a little, getting along with others, supporting others, fitness and, most of all, fun. Because Special Olympic athletes do have health conditions, typically, there is some training that goes along with being a coach. The Special Olympics Indiana Coach Education Program makes it clear that the athlete’s safety is the top priority. Once that is assured, the program directs coaches to ensure that they

are not just teaching the game, but teaching sportsmanship. Coaches also are taught to give athletes an awareness of their own worth, ability, courage and capacity to grow and improve. There are different levels of certification based on the amount of training a coach receives, with Level I, for example, requiring the coach to take online courses in Protective Behaviors Training and Concussion Awareness Training. Steve Bullington of Zionsville coaches four sports in the Special Olympics program, including basketball in the winter. His son, Jackson, typically plays on his teams, and it’s clear that Bullington loves coaching all the kids. Having coached for seven years, he knows many of the kids throughout the league by name.

ATI, CSO collaborate for production of Sondheim’s ‘Sweeney Todd’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Don Farrell has been eager for this collaboration on one of his favorite musicals. MUSICAL “I am very excited about playing a part in presenting such a great musical as (Stephen) Sondheim’s ‘Sweeney Todd’ in the Palladium, a venue worthy of such a great work of art that many have called the greatest musical ever written,” Farrell said. “To hear the lush orchestrations by the wonderful Carmel Symphony Orchestra will be marvelous for everyone. Mr. Sondheim turns 90 years old on March 22, and I can’t think of a better way for Actors Theatre of Indiana and the Carmel Symphony Orchestra to honor and celebrate the genius of such an iconic composer and lyricist than our production.” ATI and CSO will present “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” at 8 p.m. Feb. 21-22 at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. ATI co-founder Farrell played the role of Todd for the first time for ATI in 2016. “I am thrilled to recreate the role for this amazing co-production,” Farrell said. “I played the role of Anthony Hope twice, the first time in 1991 at Cincinnati Hot Summer Nights with Broadway actress Pamela Myers in the role of Mrs. Lovett, and then again in 1992 for The Springer Opera House in Columbus, Ga.” Fellow ATI co-founders Judy Fitzgerald and Cynthia Collins also appear in the production. Farrell said Sondheim musicals are complex and no two works are similar in style or presentation. “As an actor, I appreciate complex characters, and ‘Sweeney Todd’ is

certainly complex,” he said. “Here you have a man who devoutly loves his family, was unjustly exiled for 15 years of hard labor by a corrupt judge wishing to take advantage of his wife and child. Everything was taken away from him. Who can’t relate to the deep hurt, anger, pain and loss and the temptation, the desire to enact revenge on such horrific characters as Judge Turpin and the society he represents? The question is how we deal with that hurt, pain and loss. What decisions do we choose to make and act upon? And truthfully, I believe that everyone wants to root for the underdog, even if Sweeney’s choices might be very unsavory at the very the least. “I do find the characters that Sondheim chooses to write about and create are very challenging and satisfying to perform. They are not one-dimensional, but neither are human beings, which is why I find them so engaging.” Fitzgerald plays Mrs. Lovett, Todd’s accomplice in the murders, as she did in 2016.

“She is pretty much the mastermind in all of the killing and the pie filling,” Fitzgerald said. “She is a despicable character right out of the gate. Good thing that she is funny and (provides) comic relief for the production.” Collins is reprising her role as the Beggar Woman. “What I like about the role is that it is challenging,” Collins said. “Sondheim is challenging for any actor, which is why everyone in the business relishes portraying a character in a Sondheim musical. In my opinion, it’s Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece.” Fitzgerald agrees. “He is beyond brilliant,” she said. “As an actor it is so fulfilling to perform anything Sondheim.” Collins said it’s always a thrill to perform with a full orchestra “The Palladium’s acoustics are wonderful, and it is always a joy to sing there,” Collins said. CSO Music Director Janna Hymes said a choir will join the orchestra. For more, visit atistage.org.

Deer Creek Pub & Bistro

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 5855 E. 211th St., Noblesville What to get: Grilled chicken and noodles Price: $10.98   Anna’s take: Let me start by noting the quality of food for the price is exceptional, and I will return. Deer Creek Pub & Bistro opened last fall, and shortly thereafter chef Chris Pike moved from Boston and revamped the menu, which offers a mix of comfort food and bar food. I sampled the fusion wings ($9.98), eight meaty, bone-in

baked chicken wings, seasoned, fried, sauced and grilled. The fusion is similar to teriyaki. I also tried chicken tenders ($8), which are five hand-breaded chicken tenders tossed in your choice of sauce. My favorite item was the grilled chicken and noodles, which was a hefty serving of grilled chicken, thick Amish egg noodles and mashed potatoes with skins smothered in homemade gravy. It was so incredible I ate all I could, took the rest home and finished it off bachelor-style, standing over my sink because I didn’t want to waste time grabbing a plate. Deer Creek Pub & Bistro is family friendly.

Behind bars: Dave’s Golden Rip-off Get it at The Broken Barrel, Carmel Ingredients: • 1.5 oz. Larceny Bourbon • .5 oz. Domaine de Canton • .5 oz. lemon juice • .5 oz. organic honey shrub Directions: Shake and strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a lemon peel.

CCPL presents concert

Bier Brewery beers will be paired with Movable Feast homemade chocolates throughout February. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Public Library wants to spread the 2020 Mardi Gras season to residents. MARDI GRAS From 2 to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 16, the Cohen-Rutkowski Project will perform a free concert in the library’s Main Room. The Cohen-Rutkowski Project is the brainchild of saxophonist Rich Cohen and pianist/composer Chris Rutkowski, who have created various groups that, in addition to the Cohen-Rutkowski Project, include the Cohen-Rutkowski Mix and Cohen-Rutkowski Duo. Based in Indianapolis, the band describes itself as a high-energy acoustic jazz ensemble. Performing both originals and covers, it frequently performs around the city and at Indy Jazz Fest and the Indianapolis Artsgarden. “We’re putting together a program that pays homage to New Orleans rhythms, in conjunction with Mardi Gras season,” said Cohen, a Carmel resident. “The program

also will include educational content about the rhythm of New Orleans street grooves, the role of the different instruments in a jazz quartet and a little bit about what it is that jazz musicians are doing when they’re performing a song.” Diann Ryan of CCPL said the library strives to educate as well as entertain patrons. “It’s one of the things we like to bring to the community,” Ryan said. Admission is free. Learn more at carmel.lib.in.us.

Brewery, restaurant partner By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Two Indianapolis businesses are partnering throughout the month to offer a CHOCOLATE pairing of beer and homemade chocolates. Bier Brewery, 5133 E. 65th St., and Movable Feast, 5143 E. 65th St., will sell the pairings for $12.50 at each location. Movable Feast co-owner Kathleen Tracy orders the cocoa from

Belgium and makes the chocolates herself. “There are four different types of chocolates, and people will get two of each,” Tracy said. The chocolates must be purchased at Bier Brewery to receive the flight of beer pairings, but if purchased at Movable Feast, patrons will have the opportunity to pair the chocolate with wine. “We wanted to have some fun things in the neighborhood,” Tracy said of the partnership.

Year after year, saving more money is consistently a top priority, and if you are strategizing ways to improve your financial health and boost your savings in 2020, Centier Bank has 5 easy ways you can save more to set yourself up for a successful year. BUDGET - Creating a budget is one of the first steps you should take to saving more money. Without a budget, you won’t know where your money is going or where you can find room to improve. Furthermore, a budget is imperative to helping you keep track of your spending and planning for unexpected expenses. AUTOMATE YOUR SAVINGS Consider setting up an automatic transfer from each paycheck into your savings account. The “set it and forget it” approach is helpful as it does not require you to remember to transfer money into your savings account or expend any extra effort. This can also reduce the temptation of spending that money before it gets saved.

ELIMINATE DEBT - When you must pay interest on credit card balances and loans, you’re throwing away money. After paying off your loans and debts, you’ll have more money to save. Figure out a plan to tackle high-interest debt first. The faster you pay it off, the less you’ll have to pay in interest. Once your debt is paid off, consider putting the money you were paying each month into your savings. TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR SHOPPING HABITS - Are you subscribed to too many marketing emails? Are you an impulse shopper? Look at your spending habits and find ways to make small adjustments. For

Zionsville Brad Duncan (317) 733-9141

example, use the 24-hour rule when shopping. If you find an item you want to buy, sleep on it for 24 hours before purchasing. After considering it, you might decide you don’t need it after all. ASK FOR HELP - You don’t have to dive into savings all alone! We have a dedicated group of individuals to help you understand your finances and make recommendations regarding your financial plan. Contact your local Centier Bank Branch Manager or go to centier.com for more information. Member FDIC

Valentine vino varieties Commentary by Elizabeth Morse What to choose for your romantic evening? I’ve got some creative options to share WINEderlust with you. Pardon the names, some of them may make you blush. These beauties can be found locally at many locations, but all four are available at Tasteful Times on Olio Road in Fishers. Brassfield Eruption, $19.99, is a sweet, red blend of petite sirah, syrah, malbec, grenache, mourvèdre, zinfandel and viognier. Whew. I love the pretty violet fragrance of this wine. It’s a mouthful of huge California fruit, with some vanilla, cedar and pepper. Silky smooth and definitely sweet but with structured tannins. It’d be a great complement to barbecue. Next up is a fun new variety from the Willow Creek District in Paso Robles (California). Barton Holiday Clairette, $34.99, is a white wine that

should please anyone who normally enjoys chardonnay. It’s a dry, tropical glass featuring the likes of mango and papaya but contrasted with minerals and sweet apples. A thoughtful change of pace. Give it a swirl. Feeling spendy? Lust by Michael David Wines, $54.99, is a delicious, velvety zinfandel that is described by the winemaker as “sexy, showy and seductive.” With a flavor profile that smacks of raspberry, dark cherry and chocolate, you’ll also pick up bits of caramel and softly spiced vanilla. A decadent selection, for sure, and perfect with a chocolate dessert. From Lodi, Calif., this one is a little higher in alcohol, coming in at 15.5 percent alcohol by volume. You’ve been warned. Elizabeth Morse is a Hoosier chef, food writer, wine guru and Hamilton County Master Gardener. Morse has been a resident of Hamilton County for more than a decade.

Blueprint for Improvement: Carmel pool cabana Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

After

THE SOLUTION 1. The covered pavilion is large enough to offer plenty of room for an outdoor sitting area and dining area. The back of the building features an oversized storage room that can be accessed from the driveway via a garage door. 2. Custom privacy screening was added next to the driveway. 3. The space features an outdoor kitchen and wall-mounted TV. 4. The new guest bathroom and mudroom are immediately inside the home, so guests can quickly and easily access these areas from the outdoors.

THE CHALLENGE This home is in Carmel’s Grandin Hall neighborhood. The homeowners were eager to create a beautiful backyard oasis, including a new pool and covered pavilion to play host to friends and family. And to better accommodate their guests, they wanted more space inside by adding on an extra bathroom and mudroom.

Wall in Las Vegas’ Mob Museum. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A tour of the mob museum Commentary by Don Knebel For most Americans, Valentine’s Day is associated with love and romance. An exhibit in TRAVEL an unusual Las Vegas museum remembers an altogether different Valentine’s Day story. In 2002, the then-mayor of Las Vegas, a lawyer who had previously defended local crime figures, decided that his city needed a museum devoted to organized crime and government efforts to fight it. Despite considerable opposition, his dream was realized in 2012 when the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement opened in a renovated Depression-era federal courthouse on Stewart Street, 6 miles north of the strip. Designed by the person who designed Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the so-called “mob museum” is operated in partnership with the city. The second floor includes the actual courtroom where Sen. Estes Kefauver held hearings in 1950 and 1951 investigating organized crime in Las Vegas. Photographs and recordings from the hearings recreate the atmosphere of the time. Other exhibits

feature notorious gang figures and those who pursued and prosecuted them. One particularly graphic exhibit includes photographs of the mutilated bodies of men killed in gang wars. Another exhibit includes a replica of an electric chair. The third floor, where the self-guided tour begins, includes the killing wall, reconstructed from the original bricks, from Chicago’s infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. On Feb. 14, 1929, seven members and associates of the North Side Gang were lined up against the wall of a garage in the Lincoln Park area and shot by four men thought to have been members of Al Capone’s crime family. Red circles indicate where the bullets hit the wall. Nearby is a Colt revolver recovered from the massacre. In 2018, a speakeasy called “The Underground” was added in the basement, serving corn alcohol distilled on-site in a recreated pot still. Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel.com. You may contact him at editorial@youarecurrent.com.

How do you judge a person’s writing? We’ve all learned that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. I can tell GRAMMAR GUY someone’s writing will be fantastic based on his use of semicolons. What are semicolons? Think of them as super commas. They’re the mutant offspring of a colon, a period and a comma. A semicolon’s primary job is to connect two independent clauses that are related to the same idea in the same sentence. Here’s an example: I’m thinking of buying a new superyacht; I spilled champagne on my old one and now it’s sticky. In this sentence, each clause before and after the semicolon can stand on its own as a complete sentence. However, they’re linked by the same common idea, which is the purchase of a new superyacht. This is the main way to

use a semicolon. Like any superhero, it’s cool to have more than one superpower. This also is true for our friend, the semicolon. You should also use a semicolon between items in a list or in a series if any of these items contain commas. For example, there are two types of people in this world: People who know how to use a semicolon, which makes them amazing and heroic; and people who won’t get invited to my Oscars watch party, which will boast at least three chocolate fountains. If your list or series doesn’t include a comma, it doesn’t need a semicolon. Semicolons can do a masterful job of connecting ideas and clauses in your writing.
