At the third annual Boone County State of the Community, local officials addressed how municipalities can work ADDRESS together to grow the county. The March 3 breakfast event was conducted at the Boone County Fairgrounds. “You look at what makes up the highest percentage of the total assessed value of the county and it falls within your municipalities,” Lebanon Mayor Matt Gentry said. “So, I think as we move forward, I think the cities (and towns) need to be drivers and pushers of our community.” Community officials from every municipality in Boone County attended and answered residents’ submitted questions. Officials said they were delighted to work together on the Big 4 Rail Trail, an ongoing project that will link trail systems in several municipalities, including Lebanon, Thorntown, Whitestown and Zionsville. The name for the trail is derived from the Big Four Railroad, which began serving the region in the 1850s. County officials have worked on the proj-
ect for several years and soon expect word from the state on the status of grant funding for the remaining portions of the project. Much of the trail is already complete. The Big 4 Rail Trail will eventually connect Boone County from the Marion County line to the south to the Clinton County line to the north. Whitestown’s portion is completely paved. It includes a trailhead and parking at 104 S. Main St. Whitestown Town Council President Clinton Bohm said projects, borders and infrastructure connect the county. In the future, he expects infrastructure projects — such as the upcoming Interstate 65 Mobility and Access Project, which will add an additional interchange at C.R. 550 S. and modify three I-65 interchanges in Boone County — to create more opportunities for economic growth. “We are very closely aligned with where we want to go and how we want to get there,” Bohm said. “The underlying premise is that we have to do this together.” County officials agreed that they envision attracting businesses that bring jobs with wages comparable to local housing costs and retaining a skilled workforce to fill those positions. “An advantage that we have is that we’ve
seen what other places have done,” Gentry said. “And I think we have the opportunity to kind of learn from their successes and learn from their mistakes. I think because of the way Boone County’s developed, I always say Lebanon is 20 years behind where Noblesville is. So we kind of look at similar types of communities and try to see where they’ve made good decisions and where they’ve made decisions maybe they regret. “We can really shape our future in the way that people want to see it. If we had been growing rapidly back in the ’90s, you’d have a very different development style from what we are trying to do now.” Zionsville Director of Planning and Economic Development Wayne DeLong said Zionsville, a 67-square-mile town, has room to grow, but it must be done in a way that creates a cohesive community. “In 20 years, certainly, Zionsville, Whitestown, Lebanon, other communities – you’re really working on an individualized sense of place, yes,” DeLong said. “Again, a rising tide raises all boats. But at the same time, you have the roads and the pathways that will thread the community together. But that placemaking is an essential component for Boone County.”

Two members of the Zionsville Fire Dept. recently visited the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Hollyhock with the U.S. Coast MISSION Guard Reserve in St. Ignace, Mich., to participate in an ice-breaking mission through the Straits of Mackinac. ZFD Deputy Chief Jeff Beam and ZFD Division Chief Milan Vlha traveled to Coast Guard Station St. Ignace Feb. 26. “This program is set up through the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, a Dept. of Defense program,” Beam said. “They offer a variety of types of outreach events.” Activities included an ice-breaking mission in the Straits of Mackinac. “Once we arrived, we joined another larger group, and they took us out to and through the Straits of Mackinac to show us what they do during an ice-breaking standpoint to maintain the shipping lanes between the Great Lakes,” Beam said. The two ZFD officers witnessed day-to-day operations of the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve. “This trip allowed us to see firsthand

the types of non-wartime missions they participate in,” Beam said. “We tend to only think of deployment, but we were able to see operations that are still necessary for everyday life and why they’re important.” The program was established to promote cooperation and understanding between Reserve Component Service members and their civilian employers and to assist in conflict resolution. The trip was especially significant for Vlha. “He is a former member of the U.S. Coast Guard,” Beam said. “So, it was nice for him to have a trip down memory lane.”

Highs and lows of website construction Commentary by Ward Degler Building a website is one of those things that by the time you finish, you’ve forgotten why you started in the first place. Like the time I built an addition to PLAIN TALK my house, a project that was supposed to take three months and stretched out for eight years. I decided a couple years ago to give up doing art shows. All that hauling and lifting and setting up and tearing down had become a labor that left its mark on my body long after the show ended. Besides, there was always the threat of rain or cold. There’s nothing worse than sitting in a dripping tent in 40-degree temperatures hoping that someone will come by that can’t live without one of my paintings. I did that a couple times and seriously considered setting fire to my artwork just
to keep warm. Instead, I would put together a website. No more cold and rain. My friend the webmaster offered to put it together for me. While he didn’t imply he could do it in a single afternoon, he also didn’t discourage me from believing the web-building ads on Facebook. You know, the ones that promise “three clicks and you’re done. Go get a second cup of coffee while the orders start rolling in.” Sadly, it doesn’t work like that. For one, when you put together a website, you’re not dealing with just one company. Website construction is like bricklaying. And each brick comes from a different source. You need a company that will host your website on the internet. Another company has to provide the design work. Still another has to handle payments for what you’re selling. There are others in charge of type

fonts, I think, and another probably picks out background colors. There is licensing, too, and a long line of costs. You never quite get your credit card put away before another payment shows up. Bottom line, however, my friend the webmaster has done a wonderful job. It has taken since last summer, but each step forward has been a thing of beauty. He announced last week that we were finally ready to launch. “Go live,” as he put it. And then nothing happened. Seems we had used the wrong email address for something, then we discovered should someone did order something, there was no way to see who they were, where they lived or what they ordered. Easy fixes, I’m told. He just has to get yet another company involved. A few more days, tops. Now, if I can just remember why I wanted to do this in the first place.

The Indiana House Judiciary Committee recently approved a bill sponsored by State Rep. Jerry Torr that proponents BILL say would help protect young sex crime victims from additional trauma during the legal process. The bill aims to protect victims 16 and younger from unnecessary trauma that can come with retelling their accounts in vivid detail. Before trial, young victims often have to give depositions where they are interviewed by the alleged abuser’s attorney and asked to give vivid detail about their experience. Depositions take place after a trained professional has conducted an extensive forensic interview. Victims may also have to take the stand at a later date and retell their story a third time if the case goes to trial. Torr, a Republican, said the bill would, except in rare instances, remove the need for young victims to face depositions in cases of sexual assault, rape and other violent sexual crimes. “During these interviews, sex abuse victims are asked to recount some of the worst days of their lives, which could prolong a child’s pain and suffering,” Torr stated. “The legal process should be a time for survivors to receive justice for the horrible crimes committed and begin healing without having to retell their story over and over again.” If the bill is signed into law, the defense counsel would still have access to forensic interviews and the right to confrontation during trial as outlined by the U.S. Constitution, according to the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council. Indiana is one of only five states that does not restrict deposition access to young sex crime victims, according to IPAC. “We’ve advocated for a long time that we need to get rid of that rule of filing depositions in all of these cases,” said Zach Osowski, public information officer for IPAC. Torr’s bill passed the House Judiciary Committee, 10-1. It then went to the House of Representatives for further consideration and was amended with slight alterations. As of press time, the bill went back to the bill’s author to see if the amendments are acceptable to them. For more, visit iga.in.gov.

The Zionsville Robotics Club had eight teams participate in the March 7 Vex Robotics State Finals at Lucas Oil Stadium. Teams qualified by winning tournament championships, judged awards, or by having one of the top individual skills scores in the state during the regular season. Only 50 teams qualify for the state finals, and no other school qualified more than four teams. This year’s game is called Tower Takeover, and the students were tasked with scoring points by stacking cubes and placing them into elevated towers. The game was fast paced as teams are paired with a partner and play 2 vs. 2 in competitive interactive matches that last 2 minutes each. The 5 teams pictured were joined by teams 7701T, 7701X, and 7701Z at the state finals.

The Boone County Basketball Hall of Fame will induct nine former county basketball standouts, including BASKETBALL two former Zionsville coaches, at a March 21 ceremony. Last year, the hall inducted its first class. It included all Boone County players and coaches who are in the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. This year, the BCBHF had the general public nominate former local players and coaches on its website, BooneCountyHoops.com, and its Facebook page. Hall members then deliberated and confirmed the nominations. At 1:30 p.m. March 21 at the Ulen Country Club in Lebanon, the nine nominees will be inducted into the BCBHF in a ceremony that is free to the public. Members of the 2020 induction class are: Larry Campbell, Thorntown, class of 1958; Marvin Starkey, Pinnell, class of 1962; Gerald Coffman, Thorntown, class of 1962; Harley Sheets, Lebanon, class of 1954 and historian; Mike Maguire, Zionsville coach; John Randel, Thorntown, class of 1969; Al Rosenstihl, Zionsville, class of 1918 and coach; Ira Scott, Jackson Township, class of 1952; and Brandy Woody Nirider, Western Boone, class of 2010. Maguire coached the Zionsville boys basketball team in the 1970s. He also worked at the Zionsville Golf Course until he retired in 2017. Rosenstihl was a Zionsville basketball star before playing at Butler University. He went on to coach the high school team from 1944 to 1956, leading the Eagles to numerous sectional titles. D.L. White, the president of the county hall, said Rosenstihl “might have been the first star at Zionsville. He was certainly the tallest. He was (most) of 6’5”, and in 1918, 6’5” was huge.” White said the induction classes were started to “keep the memory of basketball alive in Boone County.” The hall also contributes to the county’s basketball legacy by offering two $500 scholarships to seniors at one of the four county high schools with basketball teams, one for a boy and one for a girl. Applications for the scholarships will close April 1, White said. For more, visit BooneCountyHoops.com.

Mayor Styron delivers State of the Town
By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com
Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron said when she campaigned for the office, she didn’t expect to be elected. COVER STORY Instead, she wanted to “open up a dialogue so that we could raise our expectations for whoever was elected.” But Styron, a Democrat in a traditionally Republican-leaning town, was elected, and for the last Styron two months, she has strived to meet expectations. On Feb. 27, Styron spoke to residents and community leaders at her first State of the Town address. She updated the community of her administration’s outline for Zionsville’s immediate future. One of Styron’s campaigning platforms was to foster economic development, specifically to bring more businesses to Creekside Corporate Park, a business park near Main Street that has remained largely unfilled since its creation. Styron said the Zionsville Redevelopment Commission recently received offers to purchase lots in Creekside Corporate Park. Among the offers are a 100,000-squarefoot headquarters facility for the multi-series Rahal Letterman Lanigan racing team and a 100,000-square-foot headquarters for an office user that has yet to be announced. The developer for the latter is William Tres. The companies expect to bring a combined 600 new jobs to Zionsville, many with six-figure salaries, Styron said. Styron also announced other new businesses are coming to Main Street, including a bridal shop and the restaurant Tipsy Mermaid. “One of the things that I was really concerned about and just didn’t understand was why Creekside Corporate Park had not had more investment, more buildings built for the six-ish years that it was available for doing that,” she said. Styron said it became clear in January when she took office that a series of admin-
Corporate investment and new businesses coming to Main Street and Creekside Corporate Park in Zionsville were main topics of the State of the Town address. (Photos by Jarred Meeks)
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN ZIONSVILLE During her Feb. 27 State of the Town address, Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron informed residents of new developments coming in the near future. Styron took a moment to recognize Zionsville Police Chief Robert Knox, 62, who will retire April 6 after more than four decades of service at the ZPD, including eight years as police chief. The search for a new chief is under way. Sixty-six candidates have applied. Styron said she does not want Knox’s successor to be a political appointment. She announced she has tasked a committee consisting of community members and police officers to review the applicants and narrow the choices to three candidates. Styron said town officials are discussing the possibility of building a community
center, participating in a greenhouse gas emissions inventory project and exploring the creation of a sustainability commission. Styron said her plans to create a mayor’s action center would likely take at least a year. The center will provide residents with a single location to have concerns heard by town officials. Construction of Overley-Worman Park also is in progress. It will be adjacent to Eagle Creek across from Starkey Nature Park, behind the Vonterra subdivision on Zionsville Road. It will have mountain bike trails, multi-purpose trails, disc golf, park shelters, parking lot and a fishing pier. “We are enjoying this work so much that we don’t really want to leave the office,” Styron said.
istrative obstacles were preventing businesses from pursuing locations at Creekside Corporate Park. She said her administration is taking measures to change that. “The location is ideal,” Styron said. “People want to walk to Main Street for lunch, and they want to work in an environment that is peaceful and lovely. And they want to live somewhere where a 10-minute commute to work is long.” In addition to economic growth, Styron said Zionsville must work to make its gateways as attractive to visitors as possible, particularly the south side of Main Street. One of the town’s first steps will be demolish the PNC bank building and resurface the lot. Future plans for the space are undetermined. Town officials also are working on a new way-finding system that will indicate park zones, commercial zones and pathways as well as additional town signage to reroute traffic around the county’s Sycamore Street bridge construction project. Styron said the improvements will attract more businesses. “Bringing corporate investment to our town is something to celebrate, it’s not something to be fearful of,” Styron said. “We can grow without disrupting our sense of place. There are some things that don’t fit in particular areas, so we encourage them to move to other areas or we pass on them. “But what is really important for us to continue thinking through is (that) there is enough room for a lot of investment in our community, and our job in Town Hall is to work to capture it and then to persuade them to locate in the areas that offer the most benefit for us.”

Show your work
A need for music
Commentary by Terry Anker
Editor, More than 2.1 million students in the U.S. are denied performing arts programs. Indiana’s schools are contributing to this due to the $16.9 million in state education funding taken from IPS systems. Students that already are battling anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts need an outlet such as music. According to Susan Hasser, the chair of the Music Therapy Dept. at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, “Research shows that making music can lower blood pressure, decrease heart rate, reduce stress and lessen anxiety and depression.” Without music, students will have lower confidence/esteem levels and more stress. I urge everyone to donate to foundations such as The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, which supports underfunded schools with quality musical instruments and the Music For All Foundation, an Indiana-based organization that gives students the opportunity to learn about music and gives music teachers the resources they need to teach. Hanna Acrey, Clay Middle School student
Every would-be sixth-grade math prodigy knows the pain. If the answer on our test is accurate, why does the teacher need to see the long-form effort that got us there? Don’t they believe that we just “knew” it? Do they think we are cheating off a nearby student? Many of us have fought the battle. We stand peering over the teacher’s desk demanding credit for our genius. Calmly, they respond that sometimes it is not good enough to simply get the correct answer. We must get there the right way – at the right time – and follow the right steps. We are reminded of our nascent school days when we were expected to “show our work” on the way to our ultimate and definitive response. At the time, it seemed redundant, even silly. Recess was waiting and then lunch after that. Besides, we’d heard that it was tater tot day. If it took too long to finish our test, we’d be at the end of the line and might miss the potato-based delicacy. Besides, a tater tot war would invariably break out and we’d be unarmed. The grapes from the fruit cocktail make a poor strategic substitute. Happily, as we grow older, our lunchroom habits largely improve. And for most of us, we come to understand and accept as apparent that the goal of showing our work was to train a process of critical thinking. We had to fully understand the accepted process before we could innovate from it. Indeed, our accuracy increased as the steps were individually considered, implemented and mastered. But as we review our grown-up selves, do our marriages, careers and other relationships demonstrate that we are showing our work? Do we make it evident that others are valued, considered and accommodated in our lives?

Giving up phoning it in Commentary by Danielle Wilson How are your New Year’s resolutions going? I deliberately did not make any because, historically, by March HUMOR I have failed miserably. Take my 2014 vow to limit my potty mouth: I didn’t even get to Valentine’s Day before I was back to dropping hourly F-bombs, among other swear words. Nope, for me, NYRs are self-created entrapment schemes for failure and self-loathing. Naturally, I avoid them at all costs. Lent, however, is a whole ‘nother ball game. I am the queen of giving up Diet Coke or dark chocolate or cherry Pop-Tarts for the 40 days leading up to Easter. Nothing life-changing (see stupid NYRs above) but always something that hurts a little. This year’s “sacrifice?” Games on my phone. I know, I know. Doesn’t sound like much, does it? But I’ve gotten into the habit of coming home from work and ignoring people, pets and associated responsibilities and escaping into the world of online happiness, namely Soduku and Words with
Friends. I would literally waste hours trying to find the maximum scoring word from four vowels, two Ds and an X, or attempting to break seven minutes on an expert-level Soduku puzzle without typing in notes. Top that! And I’d gotten to the point where I actually craved the experience. Like a crack addict with my fix, if someone interrupted me, I’d pretend I didn’t hear. “Mom, you said dinner would be ready 30 minutes ago.” (No response).“Mom!” (Umm, I’m playing on my phone). “Mother!” (Fine, I’ll engage). Then I’d sulk to the kitchen muttering, “You’re 16, go$da**it! Make your own f#$%ing mac-n-cheese!” New Year’s resolutions? Clearly not for me. Peace out.

Shticky interview situations Commentary by Dick Wolfsie This is my 40th year working in television. Seems like just yesterday I had no idea which camera to look into and no clue what I was going to say next. Wait, HUMOR that was yesterday! After conducting almost 5,000 interviews, it’s tough to name my favorites. Several standouts involved some shtick, which is a glorious Yiddish word that connotes comic theatrics, a gimmick or a setup to temporarily fool the audience. Here are two of my wackiest moments: The long and short of it Back in the ’90s, I interviewed a jockey who was racing that night at Hoosier Park in Anderson. The young rider let me question him while he was standing on a chair with the camera only showing him from the waist-up — the premise being that he was the world’s tallest jockey, at about 6-foot-7. He rode the comedy sketch like a pro. “Why did you become a jockey?” I asked him. “I was really bad at basketball,” he confessed, “but I loved horseback riding.” I didn’t reveal the ruse until my last segment on that morning’s news, but the owner of the horse never saw that portion. She also had never met her new jockey. She called the track in a panic, and to this day I don’t know if she found the prank funny. I do know that tall-in-the-saddle was not what she was looking for!
Suite revenge The Sybaris is a rendezvous spot for lovers. Each room in this hotel has a theme, and couples looking for romance can enhance their experience by adding a little fantasy. Dress like it’s the Wild West, or a trip to Jamaica. There are indoor pools and mirrors and waterfalls. You get the picture. When the chain first opened back in the ’90s, I called to arrange an on-camera interview with the manager. I made a request that I never expected him to grant: I asked if we could walk into a room and act like we didn’t notice a couple still in bed (those two people would be friends of mine who agreed to participate in the fun). While we did the interview, there was no hanky-panky going on, of course, but my friends kept peeking out from the covers, feigning curiosity about what we were doing in their room. The next day, viewers approached me and asked if I knew there were people in bed behind me. I told them yes, they were friends of mine, and that they like having an audience. Next week, you’ll get to read about some shenanigans with Soupy Sales and Dick the Bruiser…

Athletes: Get the most out of your sport, avoid injury Commentary by Dr. Bryan Mayol
Sports are a great way to exercise and have fun at the same time, and with the right routine, you can minimize PREVENTION your chance for injuries. Warm up: Warming up is important for injury prevention, much more so than stretching prior to exercise. Before stepping onto the field or court and going full speed, give yourself 15 to 20 minutes to get your body moving. Start your warm up with a light jog or run in place to get your heart rate up. Then, begin with active stretches such as toe touches, deep lunges, knee hugs and jumping jacks. Wear the proper equipment: Make sure your gear, including helmets, mouth guards or pad, fit properly. Gear that is too big or too small isn’t protecting your body correctly and can result in injury. Get enough rest: The micro-injuries to our tissues heal and repair as we sleep, and we get stronger as a result. When athletes do not get enough sleep, their muscles become
fatigued and they are at greater risk for injury. Overuse injuries, such as shin splints, can sometimes be a result of too much physical activity in a short time and not enough rest. You cannot expect your body to perform at its best if it’s running on a low battery. Do not power through the pain: You may be making a minor injury much worse if you do this. See a sports medicine specialist to avoid further damage, and certainly if the pain continues or makes it difficult to perform everyday activities. Cool down: Stretching after activity helps maintain flexibility to promote good body mechanics. Stretching also can reduce the buildup of lactic acid from tough workouts, which can make your muscles cramp and feel stiff. Dr. Bryan Mayol is a sports medicine specialist at IU Health North and Saxony hospitals. He sees patients in Fishers, Noblesville and Carmel. He can be reached at 317-688-5980.

DISPATCHES Stocks of the Week — Dividend-paying stocks tend to hold up better than the overall market during volatile times and economic slowdowns. But many large-cap blue-chip dividend payers such as McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble have already experienced big gains over the past year, so they may not provide the downside protection you would expect. A better strategy is to invest in dividend-paying medium-sized companies -- those with stock market values between $2 billion and $10 billion. Their businesses are mature enough to pay reliable dividends but still have the ability to grow much faster than large companies. Also, their stocks are bigger bargains. A few examples are: • First Hawaiian (FHB). Hawaii’s oldest and largest bank controls much of the state’s consumer and commercial deposits and loans with little competition, allowing it to maintain strong profit margins. Real estate prices in Hawaii have much less volatility than elsewhere in the US, greatly reducing the bank’s exposure to mortgage defaults in bad times. Recent yield: 3.8 percent. • Monro (MNRO) operates a network of 1,400 automotive service stations in 30 states, offering brake, steering and other undercar repairs. It does well in slowing economies as drivers try to squeeze more life out of older vehicles. Monro has developed a niche between expensive car-dealer ser-
vice operations and small auto-mechanic shops. Recent yield: 1.12 percent. Source: BottomLineInc.com Beware of ‘one-ring’ calls — The Federal Communications Commission warning of a new fraud tactic known as the “one-ring” scam. Criminals dial and hang up quickly after the first ring. If the scam goes according to plan, the victim will call back the mysterious number, inadvertently opening up expensive toll charges. Source: Mentalfloss.com The value of a dollar — In the U.S., apparently not every dollar is equal. The value of $1 varies depending on where you go. According to new data compiled by 24/7 Wall Street from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), a dollar goes the furthest in America’s “poorest states,” such as Mississippi and Alabama. According to 24/7 Wall Street’s research, only four states (Rhode Island, Florida, Oregon and Delaware) are actually worth $1. The states that were named the most expensive include New Jersey, California and New York, with each averaging about $0.87 to $0.88 on the dollar. Hawaii was by far the priciest state — with a $1 bill being worth only a measly $0.84. The warm-weather state was also dubbed the most expensive state. Indiana ranked 11th with a value of $1.11 on the dollar. Source: Foxbusiness.com

Civic Theatre newcomers grab key roles in ‘A Few Good Men’ at The Tarkington By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Matt Kraft is making his return to acting in a special way. Kraft, a 2009 Carmel High School graduate and 2013 Purdue graduate, will PLAY appear in a lead role in Civic Theatre’s production of “A Few Good Men” March 13 to 28 at The Tarkington at the Center for Performing Arts in Carmel. “I didn’t figure out I was interested in acting until I was in college,” said Kraft, a Carmel resident who works in Carmel in apartment leasing. “I had some theater credits while working on a film degree and got the acting bug.” Kraft recently moved from California and wanted to get back into acting in plays. “A friend of mine told me about auditions for this,” Kraft said. “It’s a great script and an awesome part. I’m lucky I get to work on it.” Kraft plays Lt. Daniel Kaffee, a lawyer defending the two young Marines who are accused of murdering fellow Marine William Santiago. “At first, it’s me unwillingly taking the case and then me getting drawn in deeper and deeper,” Kraft said. “As I get in over my head, I have to get out of it.” The screenplay for the 1992 movie was adapted by Aaron Sorkin from his own Broadway play. Tom Cruise played the role of Kaffee in the film. “A lot of people will have in their mind what the movie looks like, but we will have our own take on it,” Kraft said. Kraft took acting courses in California while pursuing film and TV work. “There are a lot of lines to get down, so that’s been the challenge, to get that down and have it memorized well enough that I can play with it and be loose,” Kraft said.

A decade later, the little pizzeria is still the same, with red-and-white checked tablecloths and an expansive menu. I am not a big fan of thick crust, so I appreciate the crunchy thin crust of the pizzas. I also am not your typical pepperoni-and-sausage gal. I like a little variety, so the Med-

Blueprint for Improvement: Open-concept overhaul Commentary by Larry Greene
THE SOLUTION
After
Before
1. A double-sided ventless fireplace originally separated the kitchen from the living area. The fireplace and wall that encased it were removed. 2. A liner gas fireplace was added to the exterior wall of the living room. It is surrounded by stacked stone and topped with crown molding and a lovely tapered finish to the ceiling. 3. All of the arched doorways on the first floor were squared off for a more modern appeal. 4. The kitchen layout was updated to provide a large peninsula for seating. All new quartz countertops, cabinetry, lighting and flooring completed the transformation.
THE CHALLENGE This 2005 home is in the southeast Indianapolis neighborhood of Greystone. The owners wanted an extensive overhaul of the first floor, including the kitchen, dining area, laundry room, living room and fireplace. The goal was to create a more modern, open concept and improve the flow of the space.

The Spanish Steps at Rome’s Spanish Square. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Tracing Rome’s Spanish Steps Commentary by Don Knebel The Spanish Steps constitute the widest stairway in Europe. To find them, you go to Rome and look for a French TRAVEL church. In 1494, Francis of Paola, a Christian hermit, established the monastic Order of Minims and built a monastery atop Pincian Hill in what was then the northeastern corner of Rome. In 1502, King Louis XII of France began building a church next to the monastery that became known as Trinità dei Monti (Trinity of the Hill). In 1647, the Spanish government moved its embassy to the Holy See, considered the oldest embassy in the world, to the base of Pincian Hill. The embassy became known as the Palazzo di Spagna (the Palace of Spain) and the nearby public square became known as Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Square). The square became popular, attracting people from throughout Rome to elaborate events held by the embassy. In 1659, France and Spain signed a treaty ending the Franco-Spanish War. A year later, Stefano Gueffier, a French diplomat, be-
queathed 20,000 scudi to connect the Spanish Square with the French church. Beginning in 1723, Gueffier’s funds were used to construct a stairway from Piazza di Spagna to the top of Pincian Hill. The original idea of a statue of French King Louis XIV was rejected by the pope. The picturesque Spanish Steps (officially Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti), including between 135 and 138 steps, depending on what is counted, attracted artists, who in turn attracted young women seeking to become models. As a result, the Spanish Steps became a popular place for people from throughout Rome to meet and linger. In 1995, after a major restoration, an ordinance prohibited eating on the Spanish Steps. In 2019, an ordinance made sitting on the steps subject to a $450 fine. Like other Italian laws, these ordinances are not religiously obeyed.

DISPATCHES Driving on empty — Consistently driving your car with low fuel can cause damage to the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is actually cooled by the gas in the tank. If you frequently drive around with low fuel, the pump may not be cooled enough and may fail. An occasional low gas warning won’t hurt anything. Just be sure not to be a repeat offender or you may pay at the repair shop later. Source: FamilyHandyman.com
Wine with Mexican food – Pairing wine with Mexican dishes can be a challenge. Many Mexican restaurants only offer beer or margaritas. If wine is on the menu, how do you choose? Since Mexican restaurant food can be heavy, the trick is to go with a lighter wine. Prosecco is a crisp, refreshing wine that goes well with most Mexican dishes. Pinot grigio is another light wine that’s very versatile with Mexican food. Source: BottomLinePersonal.com
