By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com New Zionsville Community High School boys basketball coach J.R. Howell never had a doubt he would follow his SPORTS father’s coaching path. Jimmie Howell, J.R.’s father and an Indiana Basketball Hall of Famer, is entering his 40th season as a head coach and 17th at Lapel High School. “It’s always been in my wheelhouse,” J.R. Howell said. “To tell you the truth, I have no idea what I would do other than coaching. I’ve always looked up to my dad, and I always wanted to be like him. At first, I thought I wanted to be a college coach but quickly realized high school is going to be more of my fit, with wanting to have a family and be present with my family.” Howell, 32, replaces Shaun Busick, who left ZCHS in July after 14 seasons to take the * Covington coaching job. “It’s a great opportunity,” Howell said. “My wife and I ADJUSTABLE have lived in Whitestown the last BASE UPGRADE 4 1/2 to 5 years, and OR it’s always been a spot we’ve liked since we’ve been here. It’s a job SAVE that has been on $ my radar** when coach Busick was ready to leave.” WHEN YOU PURCHASE A Howell acknowledged the timing was a TEMPUR-PEDIC ELITE, LUXE OR BREEZE MATTRESS bit unusual with the job opening coming so late and amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s one of those jobs that I’d gladly take if that’s the sacrifice I need to make to get a job like this,” he said. “As far as the timing goes, it’s not ideal, but at the same time, it’s perfect.” Howell served as a Carmel High School assistant coach under Ryan Osborn the past three seasons. Osborn coached Howell as a Brownsburg assistant in seventh grade. “It’s was neat how it all came full circle and I was able to be his assistant for these last three years,” Howell said. Prior to Carmel, Howell had head coaching stints at Caston and Western Boone high schools for two seasons each. Previously, he had been an assistant at Anderson University and Northwood University in Michigan. The elder Howell is proud of his son’s dedication.

Zionsville Community High School boys basketball coach J.R. Howell plans to impliment a new style of play. (Submitted photo)

“He’s put the time in the last seven or eight years to get in position to get a job like that,” Jimmie Howell said. “This fits him really well. I think he’s 5 miles from his home.” J.R. Howell was a junior standout on Lapel’s state championship team in the 200405 season during his father’s first year coaching at Lapel after leaving Brownsburg. “As a senior, we got beat by University, and the head coach was (ZCHS athletic director) Greg Schellhase, so we’ve talked about how he ended my high school career,” said Howell, who played at Marian University. The Eagles, who lost their four top scorers to graduation, have talented sophomores in Logan Imes and Nick Richart returning. “There is definitely going to be a different philosophy offensively and defensively,” Howell said. “We’ve talked that there is going to be frustration with them learning a new style of play and it not coming as easy to them. We’ll bring in a new system but it’s something the guys are excited about.” Howell said his offense is motion-based but with a different spin. “Coach Busick was running a ball/screen motion for the most part with his wrinkles to it,” he said. “We’ll be moving the ball without any predetermined actions. It’s more of, let the guys read the defense and react, play off of each other.”

“We’ve talked that there is going to be frustration with them learning a new style of play and it not coming as easy to them. We’ll bring in a new system but it’s something the guys are excited about.”

DISPATCHES Centier Bank donates to new Humane Society shelter — Centier Bank recently made a $20,000 donation to the Humane Society for Hamilton County’s new, state-of-the-art shelter in Fishers. A check was presented at the construction site at 106th Street and Hague Road Aug. 3. Troy Kafka, Greater Indianapolis Market President at Centier Bank, said the bank has partnered with the Humane Society for Hamilton County in the past, having served as its main sponsor for the Woofstock 5K Dog Walk and concert in 2019. The organization takes in more than 3,000 abused, neglected and seriously injured animals each year. Construction on the new shelter began earlier this year. Boone County renews state of emergency — At the Boone County Commissioners’ Aug. 17 meeting, the commissioners renewed

the county’s state of emergency resolution, allowing for streamlined communications between elected and emergency planning officials. The renewal lasts seven days, and the commissioners will meet Aug. 24 to decide whether to continue the resolution.

The Boone County Commissioners voted to close a county road to repair a deteriorating culvert. CONSTRUCTION Earlier this year, SJCA, an Indianapolis-based engineering firm, inspected the county’s more than 300 small structures, which are called culverts and defined as bridges less than 20 feet in length, in what was the county’s first load-rate analysis of its small structures. SJCA found 16 small structures failed to meet legal load-bearing standards, and four of the 16 were noted for exceptional deterioration. One of the four small structures, at C.R. 900 W., was conservatively rated for a 6-ton limit. The other three were conservatively rated for an 8-ton limit (unmarked county bridges have a load-rate of at least 20 tons). All four roads — C.R. 300 S, C.R. 900 W., C.R. 750 N. and C.R. 400 E. — were considered for closures at the commissioners’ Aug. 17 meeting. Deeming the structure at 900 W. was not safe even with warning signs, the commissioners, who are tasked with maintaining the county’s public roadways, voted to close C.R. 900 W. They chose not to close the other three roads, instead opting to post warning signs when repairs and replacements are underway.

A half-mile detour route was proposed for the 900 W. closure, which is 0.1 miles south of C.R. 100 S. The proposed detour would channel traffic to C.R. 950 W. Boone County Highway Dept. Director and County Engineer Craig Parks estimated construction on the culverts would take a minimum of eight months to complete. “We will be moving as quickly as we possibly can at getting these repaired and back up to a higher load rating,” Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said. At a prior meeting, Parks estimated many emergency vehicles and school buses could exceed the four culverts’ current weight limit. He has coordinated with school districts and county dispatch to reroute such vehicles. An SJCA representative recommended the county inspect the four small structures every six months to monitor their structural integrity. The Boone County Commissioners said warning signs would not always protect against errant drivers but noted there are not enough sheriff’s deputies to continually monitor the culverts. Two separate county culverts were replaced earlier this year, Parks said, each costing an estimated $200,000. The Boone County Council will weigh the county’s funding options for the culvert repairs at its September meeting.

Fall sports to start — The Boys & Girls Club of Boone County is moving forward with plans for the fall leagues for volleyball and soccer in Lebanon only. The format of the leagues depends on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Family and Social Services Administration guidelines at the time. Leagues, as of press time, are expected to start sometime this month. For more, contact Ken Kibbe at kkibbe@ bgcboone.org or Krista Arland at karland@ bgcboone.org.

Town installs Little Free Library news@currentinzionsville.com Zionsville recently installed a trainthemed Little Free Library in the outdoor plaza just off the Big-4 Rail Trail. BOOKS Local residents Terry McCain and Mike Howenstein built the library in their home workshop. The library is part of their Reading Railroad collection of Little Free Libraries that they have built and installed in communities around Boone County. The newest library, modeled after a Zionsville interurban train car, is a nod to Zionsville’s past Interurban Railroad, according to a press release. Other Little Free Libraries in the Reading Railroad collection consists of a Boilermaker Special train engine at a preschool in Lebanon; two boxcars at The Caring Center in Lebanon; a “Polar Express” passenger car in Zionsville; a red caboose in Zionsville; and a Kings Cross/Platform 9 and 3/4 train station in Thorntown. More Reading Railroad Little Free Libraries are planned. Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron placed one of the first books, “Run for Something: A Real-Talk Guide to Fixing the System Yourself” by Amanda Litman, in the Little Free Library.

Whatever you are planning to do this fall, do it without leg pain.

The Zionsville Interurban Little Free Library was installed just off the Big-4 Rail Trail. (Submitted photo)

“Building and installing Little Free Libraries is a small way to make a big impact,” Styron stated. “Free, accessible books (are) key to an engaged community and the Town of Zionsville is excited to support this effort at Town Hall.” Town Hall’s new Zionsville Interurban Little Free Library is the largest McCain and Howenstein have built so far and will be stocked with a variety of books for children and adults. A hand sanitizing station will be placed near the Little Free Library.

Hussey-Mayfield library expands into Worth Township By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library is expanding its service area to include Worth Township with plans to build a branch in the township, allowing residents to receive full library services for the first time. The Worth Township Advisory Board accepted the library’s service proposal July 21 and approved it Aug. 10. It took effect Aug. 12, but the new branch won’t be built until late 2021, at the earliest. A location has not been determined. The Lebanon Public Library also submitted a proposal, but it was not accepted. Next steps for the library include working with organizations serving Worth Township to form a community-based group tasked with determining the scope of services, branch construction and overall project timing. Library officials also are working with Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron and the Zionsville Town Council to extend services to residents of Perry Township, which is west of Eagle Township. A formal proposal for the Perry Township expansion will be discussed at a future Zionsville Town Council meeting, according to library staff. “How exciting is it to create a library from scratch, make sure that your meeting the needs of a modern library?” Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library Executive Director Sarah Moore said. “It doesn’t get to happen very often. I can’t think of a time when a library expanded into an area that it didn’t already serve. When you have this, it’s for life. “It’s for generations of residents, and I’m so excited that we are able bring library service and put a branch of the library into an area that has been growing and has not had the opportunity to have this home library.” In Boone County, townships, not city or county lines, define library service areas. The library’s district was made up of Eagle and Union townships, which included portions of Zionsville and Whitestown, leaving a large number of residents in both towns without public library service unless they paid a user fee, as directed by state statute. For several years, however, township trustees have signed contracts with libraries, providing a discounted fee. Some trustees cover a portion or all of the fee for their residents. Previously, residents of Worth Township

were eligible to receive one card from the library per household, paid for by the Worth Township trustee. In 2019, 261 cards were issued in the township, costing it $15,728.10, according to the library’s proposal. In 2018, 304 cards were issued, costing the township $16,276.35 Moore said former Whitestown Town Manager Dax Norton approached the library in March 2018 with the idea of establishing a branch in Worth Township. “We were definitely very interested in that,” Moore said. “We met with him to work on some of the details. It is a priority for us that we remove barriers to library services. That is something that has always been a large goal for us.” In 2019, the library’s board began plans to implement bookmobile service within Perry and Worth townships to provide services while deliberations took place for the new branch. Bookmobile service has been ordered and could be launched before the end of the year, according to the library. A book drop will be installed in the area when a location has been confirmed. “We are looking forward to serving Worth Township for generations to come,” Moore said.

Worth Township residents can register for a library card at the Library’s main branch at 250 N. 5th St., or online by visiting bit.ly/HMMPLcard.

Funding the branch

To fund the new Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library branch, Worth Township property owners will see a tax rate increase of $0.0554 to $0.0686 per $100 of adjusted assessed value beginning in 2022, according to library officials. The final rate will be determined by the size of the branch, which has yet to be determined. The library’s proposal includes three possible sizes, ranging from 15,000 to 30,000 square feet. The mid-range rate of $0.0624 would translate into a $61.01 annual library tax for those with a $200,000 home, assuming mortgage deductions. Zionsville property owners in Eagle and Union townships will see a temporary tax increase from $0.0211 up to $0.0343 per $100 of adjusted assessed value, according to the library. At the mid-range rate of $0.0281, a homeowner with a $200,000 home may see a $27.47 increase in their property taxes for one year, assuming mortgage deductions.

After the library pays off its current bond in 2023, property owners will see the increase to their library tax rate drop to between $0.0052 and $0.0184, according to the library. The bond used to pay for the new branch will run 10 years, Moore said. Homeowners who have already met their tax cap will not see an increase in their property taxes. If the proposal to expand services into Perry Township also is approved, the tax rates will decrease even further. Tax changes will not go into effect until closer to the opening of the new branch. The library’s 2020 certified net assessed value is $3,036,116,706, according to its proposal. Worth Township’s 2020 certified net assessed value is $284,072,524. The net assessed value of the proposed library district is estimated to be $3,320,189,230. The new proposed library net assessed value would be approximately a 9 percent increase in net assessed value of the current library district. Anyone wanting to participate in the planning and building process for the new branch can visit zionsvillelibrary.org for upcoming opportunities.

ESSAY

LETTER

Unmasking intent

Library funding should be explained

Commentary by Terry Anker With sunny days of summer, folks emerge from their dwellings into the light of day, beholding a world slowly adjusting to the persistence of this current plague. And as temperatures soar into the 90s, many seek respite in nearby lakes or pools to beat the heat. Without a pond of their own, many are driven to share space in more public settings. Wisely, establishments have undertaken physical distancing and other precautions to keep bathers safe. On one such sundeck, the skinny teen guiding guests to an appropriate spot wore plastic gloves, long, dark pants and shirt, a cap and an American flag neck scarf covering his nose and mouth. Exchanges concerning replenishment of towels led to a commendation on his mask. Embarrassed and dropping his gaze, he responded, “Thank you,” and that he’d been considering exchanging it. Too many of the educated and wealthy clientele were offended and believed that the flag was meant to endorse a political candidate, race, class or other bit of propaganda. Asked if it did, he emphatically responded, “No.” It is intended to remind him of his Dad now away serving “another” tour in Afghanistan, but the complaints led to fear for his much-needed job. The receptionist greeted visitors behind a tall plexiglass screen. Covering most of her bespectacled face was a fanciful scene of cavorting flamingos. Complimented upon her choice, she spoke of a growing collection of such masks, enough now for each day of the week. If we imagine attire to be political statement affronting our personal space, do we have standing to confront it? If we’ve always believed the pink birds to be troublesome, does her mask open the door for our rebuke?

Something (finally) to cry about Commentary by Danielle Wilson If you’ve been following my column, you know that I have a full plate, the entrée being my father dying of canHUMOR cer. Luckily, I’ve been gifted with the extraordinary power to step outside myself during moments of emotional turmoil and find humor in my futile attempt at invulnerability. Take last Thursday, quite possibly the worst day of my 2020. It started off fine. I was back in the classroom, my three oldest children were heading to college that evening and my youngest, though bedridden with the flu (?), was improving. And then ... My daughter texted: “COVID positive.” Sonofab*&^! My principal showed up shortly thereafter to escort me from the building while my bewildered students looked on. Though embarrassed and upset, I held it together. I also remember thinking, “At least ‘The Scarlet Letter’ lady got an ‘A;’ all I got was a ‘C+.’” See? I’m particularly clever under stress!

I anticipated a breakdown once I was alone in the minivan, but years of suppressing my feelings kept the sobs at bay. I arrived home to chaos, a pleasant distraction from my predicament. Then, my sisters called a Zoom meeting, and for the next hour I stoically discussed end-of-life care for Dad. Again, no tears. I recognized my closing throat for what it was, but clung to the mantra, “Thou shall not weep!” Not on flippin’ Zoom. What finally did me in? Not the weight of losing my father or being banished from school, or even knowing that my baby was potentially very ill. No. It was stupid Amazon Prime reneging on its two-day delivery promise. I bawled like a newborn! Peace out.

My principal showed up shortly thereafter to escort me from the building while my bewildered students looked on.

Editor, I received an email notice from the Zionsville Library (HMMPL) telling me that we are expanding into Worth Township. I believe the funding for this expansion has not been explained to Eagle-Union taxpayers. The FAQs on the library website indicate only a small increase in taxes from the current rate, once the temporary larger increase has been weathered. I believe a better way to look at this is the following: The Eagle-Union taxpayers have done a great job of paying off the mortgages for the current beautiful library during the last 26 years and will be debt-free in two more years. The bonds proposed for the (Worth Township) expansion will extend this liability for an additional seven years, so without the expansion, we could expect our library taxes to actually go down in two years! The Eagle-Union taxpayers will be paying for about 85 percent of the new bond costs. I am not against paying for a new library in Whitestown, if that’s what the public wants. I am in favor of full disclosure and conversations with the folks who will be paying for it. Mike Zeller, Zionsville

Brick Street Market returns By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Chamber of Commerce has worked with local officials to ensure best safety practices at the Aug. 29 Brick Street Market 2020 amidst the PANDEMIC COVID-19 pandemic. “Right now, we are doing our best to make sure it is an incredibly safe yet important event for our permanent retail and restaurants as well as our homebased members who are coming in the form of venders,” ZCC Executive Director Allyson Gutwein said. Vendors of handmade goods will line Main Street in Zionsville during the event. Food vendors will set up in the town parking lot at Pine Street and Main Street. They will be arranged in an alternating pattern — one facing east, the next facing west — to create space. Chamber officials stated the event will follow state and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Chamber officials calculated the square footage of our event space to provide each attendee with the opportunity to have a 6-foot bubble so that the event could be socially distanced.

Entrances to the event will be staggered to allow for social distancing, and the free tickets will specify the time of entry. To maintain an appropriate count, attendees of all ages will require a ticket, which will be available online only to allow for a low contact-ticketing process. Tickets are still available, but the event will be capped at approximately 1,700 attendees, Gutwein said. Masks will be required during Brick Street Market for all attendees, with the exception of children under the age of 2. The chamber will provide masks if needed before entry. There will be one event entry gate on the south side of Main Street near the Friendly Tavern. The traditional children’s area and musical entertainment have been canceled because of safety concerns. “Our intent is to bring well-needed traffic into Zionsville in order to bring revenue through our retailers and restaurants, whether that be a vendor or a permanent Main Street mainstay,” Gutwein said. “All of that is important this year. We understand we are going to try to bring revenue to them right now because we don’t know what the future holds.” Reserve tickets at zionsvillechamber.org.

ZCHS adjusts in first week back By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Students and teachers at Zionsville Community High School have been forced to adapt to a new normal in PANDEMIC and out of classrooms, but after a week of classes, some say the unprecedented transition has happened quicker and more successfully than expected. ZCHS began its school year Aug. 10. A day later, students entered classrooms for the first time since March. Many students have returned to in-person learning under a hybrid model, while some have chosen to learn remotely. Lily Cross, a ZCHS senior, said her generation is uniquely prepared for a school schedule that has elements of distance learning and in-person learning. “I feel like, honestly, we Cross are the best generation to do this,” Cross said. “We all grew up, even in middle school, using technology, and I think that we’re a very adaptable generation. We are good at going with the flow and doing what we need to do.” Cross said her teachers have helped make the transition easier and that she enjoys the smaller class sizes that come with the school’s hybrid model that has sequestered students into two cohorts. Cross said her teachers, wearing microphones, will stop a lessen to ask in-person students and remote students if they have questions and offer breakout Zoom rooms for remote students to partner in groups for other lessens. “It’s up to you,” Cross said. “You can sit through a Zoom and sort of pay attention, but I’d say it’s more like a lecture, where

the teacher will give a lesson or lecture for 30 or 40 minutes, then turn the time over to you to work independently and get what you need done, so I feel that’s preparing us for college and online classes, even.” Although Cross understands the relative risks of reopening schools during the pandemic, she feels safe due to the mitigation efforts the school district has employed. She said she is grateful to still have a senior year where she can see her friends because not all Indiana school districts have reopened with in-person classes. Lindsay Alessandrini, a Spanish teacher at ZCHS, and Bob Brennan, an economics and AP microeconomics teacher at ZCHS, have experimented with different ways to engage students at the start of the Alessandrini academic year. Alessandrini has used Zoom to allow students to pair together to practice speaking in a foreign language, giving them contact lists so they can practice together when needed. Brennan Brennan sets a tablet on a tripod in his class so that remote learners can see him and the class while he’s teaching. Under the school’s new block schedule, all students will take a student support class, allowing them to work on homework, get help from a teacher or relax if needed. Because of the rapid restructuring of daily classwork in March, Alessandrini said teachers were forced to explore methods of teaching, such as recorded lesson explanations, that were integrated into her current lesson plans, thus making the start of this semester easier.

Center delays concert schedule to 2021, shifts focus to other programming By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com A slowdown in the national concert industry amidst the coronavirus pandemic has forced Carmel’s PERFORMANCE Center for the Performing Arts to delay its 2020-21 Center Presents concert season until the start of 2021. An initial schedule and on-sale dates for the modified season will be announced in January. Several concerts that had been rescheduled for the fall will be moved to future dates. The Center for the Performing Arts President/CEO Jeffrey McDermott said a decision hasn’t been made on when the season will start, but he will likely know more later this fall. “We had hoped to start in December with some holiday performances and had several booked. Unfortunately, one by one, each of the bookings ended up postponing on us due to COVID,” McDermott said. “The challenges we have as a presenting organization is the inventory of performances is national and international artists. If they don’t tour, we don’t have shows to present. There are so many variables in so many different states and communities that it doesn’t make sense for the touring arts to go out because there is no continuity of what they are able to do from one venue to another.” Another factor is the capacity limits put in place to stem the COVID-19 spread. The limits reduce ticket revenue and disrupt the economics of every performance contract. Under Indiana’s current state orders, attendance at the 1,600-seat Palladium is limited to approximately 30 percent of normal capacity. The same 30 percent limit applies to The Tarkington (500 seats) and Studio Theater (200 seats). McDermott said ticket revenue accounts for about onethird of its annual revenue. “The goal will be to have a portion of this current season occur after the new year,” McDermott said. “We are still active-

ly booking in celebration of our 10th anniversary, which would begin with our next fiscal year of July 1, 2021.” McDermott said the nonprofit Center for the Performing Arts hosts other events besides concerts. “We have educational programming, we have rental events, and our resident companies are going on. Of course, they don’t rely on national touring parts,” McDermott said. “We’re a mission-driven nonprofit organization, so we would do things different than a for-profit organization in that we will present artists and programs that aren’t necessarily going to make money for us but are consistent with the mission.” The Center’s production team has invested in new broadcast-quality video equipment to accommodate livestreaming

of events, including a revamped “Classics in Context” classical music discussion series and the new “JazzTalk” series. The first “Classic in Context” is set for Sept. 15. The first “JazzTalk” is set for Oct. 13. Another series premiering this fall will be a new livestreaming performance series, “Live at the Center,” featuring top area and regional artists in a range of styles. “It gives us an opportunity to highlight them, and there could be some hybrid-type performances where we have a combination of live audiences socially distanced and livestreaming,” McDermott said. “The innovative part of the strategic plan we had is the desire to do livestreaming events. What the COVID-19 pandemic has done has pushed us ahead in that planning and looking do something we planned to do all along, but the urgency of it makes it that much more important to do it now.” More than 40 live events are scheduled through December, including performances by the resident companies, Carmel Symphony Orchestra, Civic Theatre, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre and the Indiana Wind Symphony. Actors Theatre of Indiana, another resident company, has canceled its 2020-21 season, which had been slated to start Sept. 4. “We look at options where some of our resident companies can perform in the larger venues, so even with social distancing, it gets them closer to what their maximum capacity might be,” McDermott said. The education and enrichment programs include the monthly Faegre Drinker Peanut Butter & Jam performance series for families with young children; the Front Seat program, which brings high school and college students into exclusive Q&A sessions with arts and entertainment professionals; and the Palladium Bookies book discussion club and Luminaries, a weekday speaker series with performing arts presenters. These programs are continuing, either in person, online or in some combination of the two. For more, visit thecenterpresents.org.

Painter featured in new gallery

NO FESTIVAL,

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Michael Janosky grew up in Michigan City and has had a lifelong appreciation for the beauty and PAINTING splendor of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. So as a landscape artist, it is no surprise that the natural wonder of Indiana Dunes National Park is prominently featured in many of his oil paintings. “I paint in a representative style, and with my brushwork attempt to convey movement within the landscape,” said Janosky, a Noblesville resident whose work is among the first on display at the new gallery space at Hub & Spoke in Fishers. “The sky, trees and grasses provide opportunities for an artist to make a painting come alive. “I enjoy painting not only the dunes scenes (displayed in) the Hub & Spoke exhibit, but also the landscape of central Indiana.” A former artist-in-residence at Indiana Dunes National Park, Janosky is a juried-artist member of Indiana Artisan and the Indi-

Commentary by Anna Skinner It’s hard to believe I’ve been writing this column for two years (time flies when you’re having fun and constantly stuffing your face), and I thought maybe it was time to do a brief recap of some of my favorite spots to dine. Some of the items I mention may no longer be on menus. Where to go: Oakley’s Bistro Address: 1464 W. 186th St., Indianapolis What I got: Lobster Waffle ($14.75). The Lobster Waffle is exactly what it sounds like – a basil-roasted garlic waffle topped with lobster bites, sautéed zucchini, crispy leeks, mustard cream and tomato jam. Visit Oakley’s for a quiet, cozy date spot. Where to go: 3UP Rooftop Bar Address: 201 W. Main St., Carmel What I got: Shaved Brussels ($11). A great place for small plates, great drinks and an excellent view of downtown Carmel.

Oysters Rockefeller from 1933 Lounge makes the list for some of my favorite At the Table with Anna menu items the past two years. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Where to go: Porter Books and Bread Address: 5719 Lawton Loop E. Drive, Lawrence What I got: The Vonnegut ($13). The Vonnegut is a sandwich with city ham, smoked turkey, a kosher pickle and slaw on housemade focaccia bread smeared with Dijon and garlic/black pepper mayo. Bring a good book or some work and settle in. Where to go: 1933 Lounge Address: 9707 District North Dr., Fishers  What I got: Oysters Rockefeller ($18). For patrons 21 and older, the restaurant has bar seating, tables and wing-backed leather chairs in a quiet corner, ideal for craft cocktails and good conversation.

Behind bars: Smoked Brown County Old Fashioned Get it at Big Woods, Noblesville Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Sipes Straight Bourbon Whiskey, .75 oz. Hard Truth Cinnamon Vodka, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, 3 dashes orange bitters, 2 roasted marshmallows, orange peel, Luxardo Cherry, cedar wood chips. Directions: Add liquid ingredients to the shaker tin and fill with ice. On a heat-safe surface, light the wood chips on fire and cover with the small side of the shaker tin. Pick up the smoke-filled cap, close it over the larger side of the shaker tin with the liquid ingredients and shake for 6 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass and garnish with orange peel and Luxardo Cherry. Roast the marshmallows over the stove and drop them into the glass.

Blueprint for Improvement: Poolside paradise in Carmel Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE CHALLENGE

THE SOLUTION

After

• The backyard was a blank canvas. A master plan was created to incorporate all of the features the homeowners were looking for to ensure all components of the plan worked together. • The outdoor kitchen is trimmed in stacked stone and features everything from a beverage refrigerator to bar seating for guests. The fireplace features built-in storage for firewood. • A generously sized patio offers room for seating and dining and features built-in lighting at the steps to the pool. Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling; email him at lgreene@caseindy. com. Visit caseindy. com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.

This 2001 home is in Carmel’s Buckhorn Estates neighborhood. The homeowners wanted to transform the backyard into a resort-style retreat, complete with a new pool, outdoor kitchen, dining and seating area.

A visit to Taipei’s Maokong Taipei, Taiwan, is a sophisticated city, with a metropolitan population of more than 7 million. Maokong, a reTRAVEL laxing mountain village popular with locals and tourists, is a gondola ride above. Taipei sits in a basin, surrounded by mountains. Maokong lies along the slope of a tree-covered mountain at the southern end of the city. For generations, Maokong was the largest tea-growing region in the area, famous for the tieguanyin variety that originated on the mainland. Numerous paths were carved through the trees to bring the tea down to the city. As Taipei grew, Maokong became a favorite destination for people wanting a respite from the city and a picturesque view of the entire Taipei basin. A popular way to get to Maokong was along a path that started at National Chengchi University near the foot of the mountain. In 2007, a 2.7-mile gondola

lift system was built from near the Taipei Zoo to Maokong. The increased accessibility led to an increase in the number of visitors, which attracted numerous quaint shops and restaurants, many serving and selling the tieguanyin tea still grown in the area. Today, a cabin of the Maokong Gondola The Maokong Gondola in Taipei, Taiwan.
