Sister companies look to create joint headquarters in Zionsville By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com A pair of sister companies have expressed interest in creating a joint headquarters in Zionsville’s CREEKSIDE Creekside Corporate Park. Indianapolis-based Allies Collective consists of Charitable Allies and Allies 4 Good. The former offers legal services to nonprofits, and the latter offers marketing, consulting, accounting and fundraising services. Charitable Allies CEO and founder Zachary Kester said the collective serves 880 nonprofits in 48 states and that the firms typically serve nonprofits that operate on less than $10 million in annual revenue. “Nonprofits often are very low funded and need resources in the form of various advising services,” Bradley Co. Vice President Brittany Mann told the Zionsville Redevelopment Commission during an Aug. 23 presentation about the proposed headquarters. “Nonprofits often need marketing, fundraising that they often don’t always have the resources (for) in-house, especially if they’re small, so (the collective) is providing a wealth of services in a consulting fashion to a number of nonprofits who may not have these services in-house.” In a nonbinding letter of intent sent

to the redevelopment commission, Allies Collective expressed interest in acquiring Parcel 1 in Creekside Corporate Park, a business park in Zionsville, which Kester said is the companies’ preferred location for their headquarters because of its aesthetics and proximity to trails. Officials said the collective also is considering establishing the headquarters in Cheyenne, Wyo., but that Zionsville is its preferred landing spot. Kester said most of the companies’ consultant work is done virtually. The firms would invest more than $7

million in a newly built headquarters of at least 5,000 square feet and add 150 new employees across both organizations by 2026, according to Mann. The collective anticipates paying the new employees an average wage of more than $41 per hour. Redevelopment commission members and Allies Collective officials will continue discussions and present any progress on the project at a future meeting, said Wayne DeLong, Zionsville’s director of community and economic development.

Council approves compensation bump By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Town Council approved a $26,501.39 additional appropriation to compensate town employees WAGES whose wages are below a minimum competitive threshold established by a recently completed compensation study. On Aug. 16, the council unanimously adopted a resolution that will compensate “a few employees” who are below the minimum threshold. The study created salary ranges based on a market-based benchmarking process. The number of employees who qualified for increased wages was not specified, nor were their positions. “In preparation for the 2021 budget, we identified a need to create a compensation guide in how we hire and retain employees,”

said Jo Kiel, the town’s human resources manager. “Replacing a fixed rate for each position with a salary range provides consistency and flexibility and supports the Town of Zionsville’s efforts to attract and retain the talent it needs to be successful,” the resolution stated. To conduct the study, officials talked to employees, department heads and the human resources department to update job descriptions of all town employees. The job descriptions were then compared to those in the market, and positions were benchmarked to other similar positions within the public and private sectors, including in Lebanon, Whitestown, Carmel, Fishers and other municipalities that reflect the market in which the town competes for talent. A set of salary ranges was then established, including minimum, midpoint and maximum targets.

Officials said they would not need to conduct a new study every year to determine wage competitiveness but that the town would continue to refine performance evaluations and use them as a tool to reward high performers with increased compensation. “Depending on how the market moves, and we are seeing a lot of market movement right now, if we needed to in the midterm, we could bring the ranges up a percentile each year, a certain common percent to reflect that,” said First Person Vice President Megan Nail, who was involved in conducting the study. “But, in general, a whole market study would be every couple of years.” Kiel said the study will provide a framework for how the Zionsville addresses town employee wages.

Price is right for Zionsville football team By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Community High School senior running back Colin Price has all the attributes. “He’s an all-around back,” Eagles coach Scott Turnquist said. “He’s got great speed. He’s got really good vision. He’s a guy that attacks all the time. He’s a downhill runner. He loves to be physical, and he finishes runs. He’s an all-around great athlete, so he does everything really well. He can beat you in multiple ways. He’s very versatile, which makes it easy for his teammates, coaches and play callers.” Turnquist said he is valuable catching the football as well. “We can split him out as a receiver and he protects well,” Turnquist said. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Price rushed for more than 1,000 yards each of the past two seasons. “He’s a guy we can always rely on physically and mentally, too, as a leader and as a great teammate,” Turnquist said. “He’s a guy we lean on.”

His career high is 257 rushing yards

against Westfield as a sophomore. “I’ve gotten a lot better at anticipating cuts based on how the linebackers are flowing,” Price said. “Slowing down the game has also gotten easier with the experience that I’ve gained over the past few years.” The Eagles reached the Class 5A state

championship game last year before losing to Cathedral 46-28. “This team has the potential to be as good if not better than last season,” Price said. “We have a lot of experience on both sides of the ball, which will help us in the long run. Going to state and coming up short has definitely made me hungrier to prove what we can do as a team. Our goal this year is to do what it takes to get back to Lucas Oil and finish the job.” Price said he has gotten more comfortable with being a vocal leader. “Now being a senior, I have to take the responsibility of being extra vocal in order to share whatever knowledge I have with my teammates,” he said. Turnquist said he knows Price will do great things individually. “We just want to make sure he’s spreading the wealth of experience and talent he’s had, and he’s done a great job of that this year,” Turnquist said. Price, who also is in an outfielder on the high school’s baseball team, plans to play football in college. He has received offers from Hillsdale, Eastern Illinois, Butler, Northwood and Findlay.

Everything about tomatoes Commentary by Ward Degler All I need to know about tomatoes is that I detested them when I was a kid, and I love them today. Having PLAIN TALK said that, there is a lot to know. For instance, the tomato is the only “vegetable” that has been the subject of a Supreme Court case. It happened in 1893 when the U.S. Tariff Office was taxing all commercially grown vegetables. Tomato growers insisted their product was a fruit, not a vegetable. More precisely, a berry. Technically, they were right, but the court ruled in favor of the government. Tomatoes were first cultivated by the Aztecs in Mexico — small berries that grew on vines. Cultivation in our nation got into full swing in the 1700s. Since then, literally hundreds of varieties have been developed. I buy whatever is on sale at the supermarket. Mostly for salads and sandwiches. My mother, on the other hand, did all kinds of things with them. She canned them — 40 quarts or more every summer. She cooked up puree and squeezed gallons of juice. There was hardly a meal that didn’t include tomato. One of my favorites was breaded tomatoes. We put salt on them when served hot, and sugar when cold. And we always had sliced tomatoes on the table. Those I didn’t like. Tomatoes also figured into an unproven assassination plot against George Washington. The story came to light when they were doing renovations

on Washington’s home at Mount Vernon. Apparently, they found a letter that had been hidden in the kitchen wall by a cook that had mysteriously disappeared. The cook, a Tory sympathizer, claimed she poisoned the general by putting deadly nightshade in his soup. They were tomatoes. Tomato juice was accidentally born in Indiana at the French Lick hotel in 1917. The cook ran out of orange juice to serve the mayor of Indianapolis and several of his Chicago cronies. In desperation, he squeezed tomatoes. The juice was a hit and became a staple at the casino. This has been a good year for tomatoes. Boxes – WARD DEGLER and bags are mysteriously showing up on front porches and offices. “Free,” the signs say. My best tomato crop was in Minnesota. I had had good luck fishing over the weekend and brought a large bucket of fish home. By the time I got around to cleaning them, however, they had started to ripen. Since I was planting tomatoes that day, I put a fish in each hole. Apparently, fish make great tomato fertilizer. I couldn’t can, freeze or give away the bounty in my garden. And when the first snowstorm of winter rolled in, I looked out the window to see tomatoes glowing red like Christmas ornaments in the snow.

Tomatoes were first cultivated by the Aztecs in Mexico — small berries that grew on vines. Cultivation in our nation got into full swing in the 1700s.

COMMUNITY DISPATCHES Town renames department — Following approval by the Zionsville Town Council during its August 16 meeting, the Town of Zionsville has renamed the Planning and Economic Development Dept. to the Community and Economic Development Dept. Town officials say the department’s name change better reflects the role, the value the department has across the community and the services rendered from the department to the community. Within the department name change will be a change in title to the director: Wayne DeLong is now the director of community and economic development. Changes within the structure of the department include being home to the Municipal Action Center — the customer-centric service module in town hall that will open its doors in the fall of 2021 — and increased use of the OpenGov digital customer service platform.

County commissioner says transparency, timing of proposed justice center a concern By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com The Boone County Commissioners and Boone County Council have been unable to agree on how to finance a proposed justice center, creating what one commissioner has called a transparency issue. Boone County officials have proposed a justice center project that would expand the county jail and possibly create a separate facility at a later date. A recent jail feasibility study supported the addition of approximately 200 cells at the jail to meet the needs of the county’s growing population and an increase in crimes resulting in incarceration. Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen has affirmed the jail needs more space, but he wants to use the proposed expansion of the county’s existing jail not only to add cells but to rehabilitate inmates, reduce recidivism and increase county services. “That’s one of the misconceptions. We are not building a new jail,” Nielsen said during an Aug. 5 town hall meeting. “It’s bigger than that.” The county commissioners and several county councilors have voiced support for the project, but they have not agreed on how to finance it. The council has yet to hold a first reading of a resolution to approve the project or a public presentation, citing a concern of approving the project before its scope is established. Boone County Commissioner Jeff Wolfe said the commissioners have been aware of a need to expand the jail since he became a commissioner more than a decade ago. But the commissioners now feel the time is ideal to approve the project because of historically low interest rates created by the Federal Reserve’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The commissioners fear the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in the coming months, costing the county and taxpayers millions of dollars during the life of the bond used to pay for the project. “We are wanting to move this project forward as quickly as possible,” Wolfe said during the town hall meeting. Wolfe said the commissioners were targeting an Oct. 1 deadline to approve the project to take advantage of the low inter-

est rates. He also said state law would prevent the project from moving forward until next year if it is not approved by the council by the deadline. The Boone County Council is scheduled to meet on the second Tuesday of each month, and because the council did not vote to have a first reading of a resolution of the proposed project during its August meeting, it is unclear whether the project would be approved before the October deadline. “We need to move ahead quickly and meet the deadlines that we’ve laid out,” Wolfe said. “We would ask you, as Elise has asked for more time, I’m going to ask you to ask your county council to make this happen at the time it needs to happen.” Tom Santelli, president of the Board of Boone County Commissioners, said the county has a “transparency” issue because the council has not held a first reading or heard a presentation, the project would be funded through additional local income tax dollars, and the council has not had a public conversation with the commissioners about the project despite private conversations being held for months. “The real issue is that (the commissioners) have been trying to get this on the agenda not for a vote but a full, public discussion with the council, and I think that’s of imminent importance for transparency,” Santelli said. “Every council member has agreed we need to do this, and there is some disagreement on timing. We want to be able to present that in a public meeting, and twice it has been taken off the agenda, and that takes transparency away from the electorate, in my opinion.”

During its Aug. 10 meeting, the council voted not to have a first reading of a resolution for a proposed county justice center project. The council was urged by council member Jennifer Hostetter to have a first reading of a resolution, but the rest of the council voted against Hostetter’s motion, choosing instead to seek legal counsel the following day during an executive session. The first reading would not have required the council to vote on the project. A second reading at the council’s next meeting would have made it possible for the council to vote on it. Santelli said a first reading would have allowed the commissioners to present information about the project and have a dialogue with the council in a public setting. He said the council’s decision to not hear a presentation or have a public dialogue was “befuddling.” He also said the commissioners, Nielsen, county attorney Bob Clutter, council member Kevin Van Horn and Hostetter held the Aug. 5 town hall so that information about the proposed project could be shared with the public since it hadn’t during a county council meeting, which he believes is of paramount importance so that constituents can hear the two parties voice their arguments and concerns and a public dialogue can be held. The council is charged with approving funding for the project, and the majority of council members have signaled they are wary of the cost, which the commissioners believe they can achieve with an amount of $45 million or less, without knowing the project’s full scope. If approved, the project would equate to a 0.02 percent increase in

the county’s local income tax, all of which would be used to pay for the justice center and operation expenses. Boone County Council President Elise Nieshalla said the jail needs “refurbishing and some expansion” but that the council must be sure of the project’s scope before approving it. “Indiana statutes require the council to conduct an investigation on the need for the structure, not just the project,” Nieshalla stated. “We are currently working through that process. I hold my obligation to the taxpayers of Boone County seriously, and I need to be able to say that we are acting in the best interests of the county in whatever determination is made. We can only do that if we have truly done our due diligence.” ON THE COVER: Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen and Commissioner Jeff Wolfe speak at an Aug. 5 town hall. (Photo by Jarred Meeks)

CREATING SPACE The Boone County Jail was built in 1990 and opened in 1992. The proposed expansion will be defined through a scoping phase and could see multiple county departments moved to the justice center, including the community corrections and probation departments. That would free up space at the county-owned Key Bank building in Lebanon for other departments, such as the prosecutor’s office, which Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood said is in need of more space so that additional facilities do not have to be built. “We don’t want to build a new building downtown,” Santelli said. Boone County Commissioners said the justice center could also include additional space for other uses. Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen said the county needs space for digital forensics, juveniles, training areas and overall space for the Boone County Sheriff’s Office.

ESSAY

HUMOR

Finding solace

No putting it delicately

Commentary by Terry Anker It is just something that people say. They sum up difficult or awkward moments, these polite aphorisms that find their way into our collective vernacular. They help us transition from those subjects most difficult for humans to process. As such, funerals are rife with the well-intended cliches: “Her death is a blessing, really.” Really? The devastated family is looking to make order of the inconsolable loss. Maybe it is really, really a blessing. Still, we imagine that there may have been better days ahead had it not been for the finality of earthly parting. No sane person wishes suffering of another soul, yet is pain sometimes required to find one’s way to recovery? How long do we hold out? “You look just like your dad,” they say. “Thanks. Dad was a handsome guy,” replies the sheepish teen. But he wonders, how could it be? Adopted as a child, father and son could not claim a biological likeness. He keeps the fact to himself. Having been told the same by numerous others through the years, he came to see the disappointment in their eyes when he helped them understand that what they believed they’d noticed was more through the power of suggestion than that of observation. Is it the very trite nature of these expressions in which we find comfort and therefore learn to embrace? These truisms have been shared countless times for generations and serve to remind us of our common humanity. We can’t think of anything more to say but desperately seek connection. If sad, we’ll offer support. If happy, we’ll offer a compliment. Is the insight particularly deep? Maybe not. Yet, if we recognize these words not as didactic admonishments but instead as hopeful reminders that others care for us, are we assured of solace in their banality?

What a poopy week I’ve had, and I say that both figuratively and literally. Let’s explore. In the figurative sense, we suffered a homeowner’s near catastrophe when we discovered standing water in the basement storage room and flowing rivulets through the finished area. Apparently, our sump pump had stopped working a few days prior. I don’t care so much about the now-ruined carpet and discarded junk, but a cardboard box of my childhood memorabilia was left undiscovered for too many hours, resulting in 30-year-old letters and photographs being completely soaked. I managed to salvage most of them, but it was heartbreaking to have to throw away birthday cards from my grandmothers and photographs of old grade school friends. It was definitely a crappy moment. On the literal and definitely more humorous front, I had the fascinating opportunity to prepare a stool sample for a Cologuard test, a mail-in colon cancer screening. On balance, my experience was smooth sailing, though I don’t think the dog knew what to think of the interesting smells emanating from the plastic container as I prepared swabs with the lab skills of a mad scientist. The only awkward part was having to personally deliver it to UPS for overnight shipping. “Would you like a receipt, ma’am?” Um, yes? I also found myself volunteering to clean up a diaper explosion perpetrated by my youngest nephew in his cloth exersaucer seat. I was surprised and silently pleased to learn that this old mom can still perform sanitary miracles. You’re welcome, Sis. So, not a terrible week as the theme might imply, but certainly one with a ton of … well, you know. Peace out.

Special carnival returns By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Zionsville Lions Club member Leigh Ann Akard was intrigued about the idea of holding a VIP Carnival after reading an article about a club in Texas holding a similar event in 2008. “From there, I bounced it around with a few people, and we brainstormed it,” Akard said. “At the time, there were 130 members of our club, and I knew of three families with special needs. As we started, we learned (of) more of those in the club who were affected. It touched more families than we had even thought of.” The Zionsville Lions Club started the VIP Carnival in 2008, and Akard said it has grown each year, with the exception of the 2020 Fall Festival, which was canceled because of COVID-19. The 2019 VIP Carnival drew approximately 1,500 guests. The Fall Festival’s VIP Carnival is a free event designed for the families and caregivers of children and adults with special needs. VIP stands for “very important people,” and the goal of the event is to provide the families with a friendly environment. The VIP Carnival is presented by the Zionsville Lions Club in partnership with the HAWK Foundation, which was created to hold the events for those with special needs. HAWK stands for “helping all with kindness.”

The event starts at 5 p.m. Sept. 10, an hour before the rides open from 6 to 8 p.m. Akard said there will be free dinner and booths related to those with special needs. Mr. Daniel, the children’s performer, will perform at the Gazebo. Silly Safari will be on-site as well. There will be face painting and a bounce house. Akard said each family is given two wristbands, one for the special needs person and one that they can share within the family. “It’s been an evolving event, which is awesome,” said Akard, who organizes the event each year. “Everybody brings to it their time and their talent. We just create a neat event.” Akard said it’s an event the siblings of the VIPs look forward to as well. “The families have been so busy taking care of their loved ones that they might not have been able to go to a carnival, or they might not have been able to afford to go to a carnival because things were tight,” Akard said. The HAWK Foundation typically holds a VIP Christmas Celebration and VIP Family Luau. Akard said donations are always appreciated because there was no fundraising in 2020 because the events were canceled. “We’re always looking if someone wants to donate their time, their money or their talent,” Akard said. For more, visit thehawkfoundation.org.

It seems fitting that George and Nancy Tikijian are leading the Zionsville Fall Festival as grand marshals. George directed the parade for 20 years, finally retiring in 2018. “I did it because it was very satisfying to do an event that made kids happy and adults pleased,” he said. “It’s a great small-town event. It’s a lot of fun doing it, (and I got a) lot of satisfaction (from) the pleasure it gave people.” The parade is set to start at 10 a.m. Sept. 11 at Zionsville Community High School and travel a 1.2-mile route to Main Street. George first ran the parade for the Kiwanis Club. When that club folded, he ran it for the Lions Club. He and Nancy became Zionsville Lions Club members. Nancy said they also volunteered for other roles in the Fall Festival, including selling food. “We chose George and Nancy to honor them for their decades of work with being the planners for this Fall Festival parade,” Fall Festival chairman Tim Reinhart said. Nancy said the honor came as a surprise to both of them. George was recently hospitalized. “We are hoping he recovers well enough to take part in it because all we really have to do is sit in the car and ride,” Nancy said. “Our son is driving the car we’ll be in.” Their son, George III, lives in Zionsville, and their daughter, Margo, lives in New Jersey. George and Nancy, both 83, were high school sweethearts in South Orange, N.J. The couple moved to Zionsville in 1983 and have been active. George and Nancy were on the start-up team of recycling in Zionsville. “George was president of the parks board at one time, and I was on it before he was ever on it,” Nancy said. “We’ve been active with Boone County Senior Services. We did Meals on Wheels. We like to give back to the community.”

Fall festival to commemorate 9/11 By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Zionsville Fall Festival will conduct an honor guard ceremony Sept. 11 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The ceremony will begin at 12:15 p.m. with an honor guard consisting of Zionsville Police Dept. officers, Zionsville Fire Dept. firefighters and Boone County Sheriff’s officers. “With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 falling on Saturday, we partnered with the Zionsville Fire Department, Zionsville Police Department and the Boone County Sheriff’s Honor Guard to have their tribute in Zionsville Lions Park,” fall festival chairman Tim Reinhart stated in an email to Current. The ceremony will be presented after the Saturday morning festival parade. Afterward, Zionsville Mayor Emily Styron will deliver a message to the community. Reinhart said historical photos and articles from 9/11 will be on display at the Lion’s Park Gazebo.

The Zionsville Lions Club Fall Festival is a long-standing tradition of family fun, food and entertainment that is always the weekend after Labor Day.

Henthorn to make Fishers Blues Fest debut By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Since the middle of May, musician Doug Henthorn has been plenty busy. “I had a gig every day, and MUSIC it’s been that way ever since,” Henthorn said. “I basically had a year off, so when May (arrived), it was go, go, go.” Henthorn said with the lack of gigs from mid-March 2020 until May, he gained 15 pounds. “My feet hurt, my fingers hurt, and my voice is tired because I’ve been out of practice,” he said. “But it’s great. I’m not complaining.” Henthorn performs regularly at the Slippery Noodle and The Rathskeller in downtown Indianapolis, the Jazz Kitchen in Broad Ripple and The Corner Bar near Greenwood. He had done some parking lot gigs at The Corner Bar when COVID-19 resulted in indoor restrictions. Henthorn, 54, is now set to make his first appearance in the ninth annual Fishers Blues Fest, a free two-day event which will be held Sept. 3-4 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Dr. Henthorn will perform at 3 p.m. Sept. 4. “I’m looking forward to it,” Henthorn said. “I’m doing an acoustic opening set. When they called me, they said they wanted a solo accoustic opener, so I’ll just play some blues tunes. It should be cool.” The Westfield resident has played in several blues festivals, including in Australia a few years ago. “But this is the first time I’ve been invited to one near my own hometown, so it’s cool,” he said. Henthorn said most of his gigs since May have been scaled-down acoustic sets. “People are tentative about booking full bands, which is too bad, because that is really what I would prefer to do,” said Henthorn, who has played some performances with his band. Henthorn performed vocals and played guitar while fronting the Healing Sixes, a blues-based rock band, for 15 years. The band included drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John

Bonham, for four years. Henthorn toured Europe with Joe Bonamasso. He also performed and recorded with John Hiatt. Henthorn said he has recorded two solo albums since Healing Sixes split up in 2014. He is working on a third album. “I’ll be doing some material off of those two albums and maybe one off a new album that hasn’t come out yet,” Henthorn said of his Fishers Blues set. “I also do some choice blues covers that I enjoy playing.” Henthorn has a website at doughenthorn.com, featuring his albums and photos. The Fishers Blues Fest is held during Labor Day weekend each year. “Our attendance has always been strong at Blues Fest,” Fishers Parks and Recreation director Sarah Sandquist said. “The Amphitheater is typically full. We have a larger budget for Blues Fest. We’re

super excited to have Bobby Rush coming for one of the nights.” Tickets aren’t required for the firstcome, first-served event for all ages.

Dancing with our Stars returns By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Meals on Wheels Dancing with our Stars fundraiser was originally created as an out-of-the-box idea, and seven years later, the fundraiser is FUNDRAISER still a hit. “We had been looking for some kind of different fundraiser, and we really felt like this would be something the community would enjoy, and we certainly hit the nail on the head with the right kind of event,” Meals on Wheels Hamilton County Executive Director Beth Gehlhausen said. Dancing with our Stars will return at 6 p.m. Sept. 9 at Embassy Suites, 13700 Conference Center Dr., Noblesville. Gehlhausen said her goal is to raise $40,000 to $50,000 net profit from the event. “The gist of it is, it’s similar to the show (‘Dancing with the Stars),” Gehlhausen said. “We pair up local celebrities, and celebrity is a loose term. We are looking for people in the community who want to come and have some fun and can get their family and friends to join us, and then we pair them

with a professional.” Most professional dancers have participated in the fundraiser all seven years. The celebrities and professionals pick their song and perform a ballroom dance. A top male and female dancer are crowned at the end of the night, as well as a People’s Choice winner, which is the dancer who receives the most votes, or dollars donated. Tickets are $75 and include dinner, wine at the table and, according to Gehlhausen, the “best entertainment you’ll see all year.” Tickets are available at mealsonwheelshc. org/dancing-with-our-stars/.

French Lick and its Pluto water Commentary by Don Knebel This is the first of three columns about French Lick and West Baden Springs, adjacent small towns in Orange TRAVEL County that became world famous. French Lick was named for deposits from mineral springs animals licked along the Buffalo Trace. In 1832, after determining the springs were not a practical source of salt, Indiana sold 1,500 acres to William Bowles, a minister expelled from his local church. Claiming to be a physician, Bowles built a hotel and began selling spring water he said cured everything from alcoholism and asthma to insomnia and influenza. In 1869, after Bowles beat charges of practicing medicine without a license, he named his largest spring “Pluto’s Spring” for the Greek god of the underworld. After Bowles’ death, a series of owners expanded the hotel, its supposedly magical “Pluto Water” drawing guests by train from across the United States. In 1905, Thomas Taggart, formerly Indianapolis mayor, acquired the French Lick Springs Hotel and greatly expanded it and

its appeal. The Monon Railroad ran a train from Chicago directly to the hotel, where up to 200 passengers a day, including Hollywood celebrities, entered beneath a gilded marquee. In 1911, Taggart erected an

octagonal pavilion over Pluto’s Spring proclaiming Pluto Water to be “Nature’s Greatest Laxative.” Although gambling was illegal, French Lick casinos, including one across the street from Taggart’s hotel, attracted yet more visitors. By the time of Taggart’s death in 1929, his hotel was earning $2 million a year. Franklin Roosevelt attended the Democratic Governors’ Conference in the hotel in 1931, where he sought support for a presidential bid and was photographed wearing leg braces. The Great Depression and Indiana’s crackdown on gambling led to the hotel’s decline, but a magnificently restored hotel and adjoining (lawful) casino are again attracting visitors from around the world (more in the next two weeks). Correction: A photo that appeared with Don Knebel’s travel column in the Aug. 24 edition of Current was not a replica of Abraham Lincoln’s boyhood home. 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.
