Town Council approves legal agreement

prevented this.”
GOVERNMENT
During its Aug. 21 meeting, the Zionsville Town Council approved the Seaside Ice settlement agreement. The agreement is a $45,000 settlement proposed by Seaside Ice, LLC/Ice-America, LLC to resolve a lawsuit between the Town of Zionsville. Seaside Ice, LLC/Ice-America, LLC was a vendor at the 2022 Zionsville Winterfest.
The agreement includes Seaside Ice, the
Town council attorney Heather Harris said the council was looking to finalize the settlement and that Mayor Emily Styron and the Zionsville Parks Board have already signed it.
Town councilmember Bryan Traylor said the situation was handled poorly, and the final cost was considerably higher than it should have been.
“I suspect when all the legal fees are in, we will have paid for (this) four times,” Traylor said. “A simple conversation rather than letting everything go to legal could have
Council reviews Pathways plan, approves solicitation rewrite
By Jessica Todd • jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Zionsville Town Council met Aug. 21 at Zionsville Town Hall and discussed a variety of issues. The next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 5 at 7 p.m.
What happened: The Zionsville Pathways Committee presented its four highest-priority routes and recommended issuing a budget for them in 2024.
What it means: The committee focused on pathways that will fill in the gaps between incomplete pathways where development has occurred; connect more residents to the Village core; create connections to Zionsville schools and parks; and address safety issues in areas where residents travel through risky zones. Pathways include Michigan Road (to connect Appaloosa Crossing to Willow Road), Whitetown Road (to connect Cobblestone Lakes to the new roundabout), S. 650 E. (to connect Boone Meadow Elementary to Harvest Park) and Ottinger Drive (to extend the existing path and connect to Royal Run Blvd).
What’s next: The purpose of the committee presentation was to advise the council of the priorities and recommendations of the 2024 Pathways plan. The goal moving forward is to find the money and budget for these projects.
What happened: The Zionsville Police Department and councilmember Craig Melton requested updates to the town’s existing House-to-House Solicitation Ordinance. They asked to rewrite that section of the code, review all relevant Indiana state statutes and benchmark the current ordinance against surrounding communities.
What it means: With the rewrite, the police department wants to clarify that the ordinance applies to the rural service district and review and clarify what the requirements are for licensure. The goal is to strengthen the process to ensure there is enough information about the vendors before they go door to door. They also want to eliminate the requirement of noncommercial solicitors, such as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, to register with the police department before going door to door and make it more convenient for citizens of the town to refuse door-to-door solicitation. There will also be exemptions in place. The background check will be managed by the ZPD. The rewrite will allow for more clarity for the community and solicitors. The council approved the rewrite of solicitation permits.

Zionsville Town Council President Jason Plunkett said he did not like how the situation was handled.
“I think this was a clear breakdown in internal controls on our part,” Plunkett said. “I struggle with it, and at the same time, I struggle with allowing additional litigation to continue to linger and more special meetings and attorney phone calls to ultimately get to where we probably are today.”
Plunkett made the motion to sign the settlement agreement on behalf of the town council.

The plan commission also approved the architectural design waiver for the restaurant.
DEVELOPMENT
Petitioner K&J Investments XXVII LLC requested approval for a development plan for a Culver’s restaurant with a drive-thru at 3263 S. U.S. Highway 421, Zionsville. The petitioner also submitted a request for a waiver for architectural design.
The proposed project received approval of two variances at the March 1 Board of Zoning Appeals hearing. One was for a land-
Some nearby residents spoke at the meeting and requested the new restaurant be designed without Culver’s sign ature blue neon lights, saying business lighting in the area is lowering the property value of their homes.
The development plan for the Culver’s restaurant was conditionally approved, not including signage. Included in the approval was a commitment from the property owner to have no blue neon lighting on the building.

ALPHA LEO CLUB WELCOMES NEW BOARD MEMBERS
Competitive drive fuels Hamilton Southeastern setter
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
In Hamilton Southeastern High School volleyball coach Jason Young’s view, there are several things that make his senior setter Macy Hinshaw special, but one quality stands out.
“She is probably one of the greatest competitors I’ve ever had in our gym,” Young said. “She wants to win, and she knows every drill who wins. She is keeping score.”
Macy said she gets that drive from her mother and two older sisters.
“I am very competitive in everything I do,” Macy said.
Her sisters Kenzie and Makayla were varsity athletes at HSE. Kenzie, a 2017 HSE graduate, then played volleyball at the University of Tennessee Martin.
“I loved watching my sister play and we would always play together at home, too,” Macy said of Kenzie. “It was great having her as a role model.”

Favorite subject: Science
Favorite athletes: Volleyball players Madison Lilley, Nicklin Hames.

Makayla, a 2022 HSE graduate, played basketball in high school.
“Makayla played volleyball as well until she was a freshman, and then she decided to focus more on basketball, but I think she regrets not playing volleyball, too,” Macy said.
Their mother, Tisha Hinshaw, played basketball at Southern Illinois.

Macy has committed to play volleyball at Santa Clara University, choosing it over Fresno State and Utah State.
Young said Macy has been a strong defender for the team her entire career.
“She’s gotten better over the years with her decision-making,” Young said. “She always made good decisions, but I’ve seen
It become a next-level thing. She’s a great teammate. She is someone the kids respect a great deal. When she speaks, people listen.”
Macy has four teammates who have committed to NCAA Division I programs. They are senior middle hitter Breonna Goss, Duke University; senior outside hitter Lauren Harden; University of Florida; senior middle hitter Tiffany Snook; University of Memphis; and senior libero Sophie Ledbetter, Ball State University.
The Royals are the defending Class 4A state champions.
“It would be amazing to do a repeat, but that isn’t our main goal,” Macy said. “We are focusing on getting better as a team and enjoying our journey instead of worrying about our end goal.”
Hamilton Southeastern uses two setters because of its depth.
“I enjoy being on the court, of course, as much as possible,” Macy said. “However, with the talent we have at HSE, we have figured out what’s best for the team and how to be successful. It worked for us last year, so that’s what we are going to continue to do because it is best for our team.”

Memories of Maui
Commentary by Ward Degler
Anybody who has ever visited the island of Maui has a lump in their throat these days. A good chunk of it is gone, wiped out by the recent wildfire.
PLAIN TALK
I connected with the place in 1965 when I was a naval officer stationed at Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu. I had enough free time to do a little moonlighting as a freelance writer.
Hilton Hotels launched a project that year to build condominiums in the village of Kaanapali just west of Lahaina. Turns out they were looking for someone to put together a newsletter about the project. I made a phone call and got the job.
That was good news. Better news was I had a Navy buddy who moonlighted as a pilot for the inter-island airline, shuttling folks from Oahu to Maui, Kaui, Molokai and the big island of Hawaii. Anytime I needed a ride to Maui, he would get me there.
Maui had a large commercial airport, of course, but we never landed there. Turns out there was a short landing strip carved out of the middle of a cane field at Kaanapali, just west of Lahaina. It had been created by order of Gen. Wallace Greene, who was commandant of the Marine Corps.
One day as we approached the island, we noticed something peculiar. A large swath of cane at the end of the airstrip was destroyed. After landing, we found out why.
Greene’s personal aircraft was a lumbering DC3 that used up every inch of the airstrip to land and get airborne. It had rained heavily a few days before, and when Greene’s pilot set the DC3 down, it skidded into the cane at the end of the strip.
The story was that after repeated failed attempts to free the plane from the mud, the pilot was temporarily relieved of his duties and the general plopped into the pilot’s seat, redlined the engines and got the plane back on the runway.
Then, he reportedly told his pilot, “Now, get us the hell out of here.”

Egyptian Festival returns
By Chris Bavender news@currentzionsville.com
St. Mary and St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church, 12174 Shelborne Rd. in Carmel, will present an Egyptian Festival from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 2 and 3. This will be the second festival since 2019.
FAITH
“We stopped due to COVID, and since life is back to normal and the CDC removed the mask mandate, we decided to resume this annual festival to strengthen our ties with the community we serve,” said Marline Hanna, festival marketing coordinator.
The idea for an Egyptian festival was sparked by interest in the church and its culture, Hanna said.
“Our Carmel neighbors are driving by the church all the time, dropping off and picking up their kids from the schools across the street, seeing it very busy on days other than Sundays at times,” she said. “We want our neighbors to know they are more than welcome to stop by to pray, meditate, to spend some quiet time to think and get focused before you carry on your busy and sometimes hectic life again.”
Attendees can tour the church and learn
about the Coptic Orthodox faith, sample authentic Egyptian food and drinks and enjoy live music. There will also be face painting and Henna, a bazaar for Egyptian souvenirs, a kids’ play zone and more.
Hanna said the overall message the church hopes to convey to the community is that all are welcome.
“Saint John the Evangelist tells us in his Gospel, ‘Come and see,’ and we recite that with him and say come and see how the Coptic orthodox culture preserved the faith as we took it firsthand from the Apostles,” she said.
Admission is free. For more, visit stmarystmark.com.

What’s up with all our stuff?
Commentary by Terry Anker
Bet that’s funny-tasting beer
Commentary by Dick Wolfsie
ESSAY
Recently, newspapers reported the overdose of a 25-year-old film star. He often portrayed a drug user, and it appears that art imitated life. We all invite others, who we will never meet or get to know, into our lives. We learn about them, what they think and how they dress. Whether actor, politician, musician or other, we ride along with them as if we are friends, even feeling great loss at their passing.
When gone, the times that we might have seen them in concert or attended the opening night of their masterwork become the stuff of folklore. Many remember the moment with far greater detail than our own graduations, weddings or the arrival of children! Tony Bennett on the apron of the Palladium singing a cappella, the return of Def Leppard’s drummer after losing an arm in an automobile accident, meeting Darth Vader at the opening of “Star Wars,” or maybe witnessing comedian George Carlin at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas with
eviscerating observations about Americans and our stuff, such as, “Everybody’s got to have a little place for their stuff. That’s all life is about. Trying to find a place for your stuff,” sticks with us.
In the five-minute YouTube Carlin “stuff” clip, he makes a point that is even more poignant today. We have stuff in our garage. We have stuff in our inboxes. We have calendars packed with stuff. We are stuffed with stuff. We might wonder, are we hedging our bets that there might be a catastrophe or reassuring our insecure selves that we matter because of how overwhelmed we are? Is the memory of Carlin just another bit of stuff? Does our stuff define us anymore than the lack thereof would? If life ended today, what would happen to all our stuff? Would it matter that much?
Addicted to subtitles
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Hi. My name is Danielle and it’s time to come clean. I’m addicted to closed captioning.
HUMOR
When did it start? Hard to say. I suppose like most things, my dependence on subtitles was gradual. I used them infrequently at first, finding excuses like, “It’s just while Andrew’s banging around in the kitchen” and “I’ll turn them off as soon as Doo finishes his phone call.”
But then I became so used to their blocky, black-and-white presence covering the bottom quarter of my 58-inch Panasonic that I found myself overwhelmed whenever they weren’t on. “Meredith Grey’s got legs?” Too. Much. Screen.
Now, I’m to the point that I become enraged when CC isn’t available, and even worse, I’ve noticed myself jonesing for them when I’m not watching television, like when I’m in a faculty meeting or sitting in a crowded restaurant. “What the heck are you people saying?”
Luckily, I think I’ve hit bottom. I went to see comedian Leanne Morgan perform down in Louisville recently. She speaks with a thick Knoxville accent, and from my seat in the balcony of a huge theater, I couldn’t understand roughly 20 percent of her show. My frustration drove me to contact her demanding a refund and/or a promise to install jumbotrons with voice-to-text capabilities for the remainder of her tour.
“Your fan base is old, we can’t hear!”
Clearly, I’ve lost my gosh darn mind.
It’s been quite the journey, to be sure, but I’m finally working on accepting the things I cannot change and garnering the courage to either learn lip reading or acquire hearing aids. My name is Danielle, and I’m addicted to closed captioning. Peace out.

I don’t remember the last time I cleaned out the fridge in our basement. It’s kind of my fridge. My wife, Mary Ellen, keeps her distance. It was when I finally removed one of the vegetable bins for a quick hosing that I first set my eyes on it. Now, I know the excitement Louis Leakey must have felt when he gazed upon the skeletal remains of our early human ancestors. There, wedged behind the Hidden Valley Ranch on the bottom shelf, was an unopened bottle of Three Stooges Beer. Moe, Larry and Curly were grinning at me after several years chilling out in the back of our Whirlpool. Yes, gentlemen, there once was a Three Stooges Beer. No longer. No Curly Light or Moe Extra Dry, either. Sorry!
Lewis Chablis. In fact, that’s why most of you men have never even heard of Three Stooges Beer. For years, a dedicated band of women were buying this product and dumping it at chemical waste sites.
HUMOR
When women shop for food, they prefer brand names likes Mrs. Paul’s and Sara Lee. But, honestly ladies, did your Aunt Millie or Mama Mancini ever make you laugh?
So, in my opinion, more food should be named specifically after old-time comedians. Sadly, I don’t think Madison Avenue would take the chance of alienating women shoppers. I asked my wife if she’d ever buy Abbott and Costello Jell-O.
There, wedged behind the Hidden Valley Ranch on the bottom shelf, was an unopened bottle of Three Stooges Beer. Moe, Larry and Curly were grinning at me after several years chilling out in the back of our Whirlpool.
The bottle was part of an assortment of exotic brews I received years ago for emceeing a fundraising event. Why didn’t I know about this beer when I was in college? Why would I sprawl out on my dorm room bed with a can of Budweiser when I could have drunk myself stupid with the world’s funniest threesome?
So, what happened to Three Stooges Beer? Forgive me, but I blame the ladies. Stranded in the Sahara Desert, mouth parched, near death, no woman would drink a Three Stooges Beer. You know this, of course. We all instinctively recognize that women hate anything that has to do with The Three Stooges. If they won’t laugh at them, they certainly won’t chug them. You might as well offer them a Jerry
– DICK WOLFSIE
“Not a chance, Dick. I don’t want my food to taste funny. But I would buy Brad Pitt Olives. And I’d love some Idris Elba Macaroni. I already have stocked away 14 bottles of Paul Newman’s Own salad dressing.”
Personally, I’d buy Laurel and Hardy Beef Stew. Doesn’t John Cleese Cream Cheese sound good? And wouldn’t a bottle of Betty White Vinegar look good on your pantry shelf?
I know what you are wondering: “Dick, will you open that rare treasure and guzzle what might be the last bottle of Three Stooges Beer?
I might. But I’ll regret it. And then I’ll smack myself upside the head.

PLACE OF HONOR
Zionsville couple chosen as 70th annual parade grand marshals
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Married couple Janice and David Agarwal have deep roots in Zionsville. They have lived in the town for 23 years and founded their nonprofit, Watch Us Farm, in Zionsville nine years ago.
In honor of their longtime service to the community, the Agarwals will head the Zionsville Fall Festival Parade as this year’s grand marshals.
The parade starts at 10 a.m. Sept. 9. It begins at Zionsville Community High School, then proceeds to Mulberry Street, continues on Ash Street before turning south on Main to Sycamore Street. This year’s theme is “That ‘70s Party.”
“Our theme ties mostly into the parade because people decorate their floats and dress up in costumes,” Fall Festival Chairman Tim Reinhart said.
Janice and David Agarwal began serving the Zionsville community when they founded Watch Us Farm, a nonprofit that employs adults with special needs in a secure and nurturing environment. They create handcrafted items such as cards, woven textiles and services to give back to the Zionsville community.
Outside their nonprofit, Janice is a pediatric physical therapist and David is a doctor.
“The work that Janice and David do holds great importance and ties to our VIP Night on Sept. 8 at the festival,” Reinhart said. “The Lions Club has partnered with them for a long time, and they do a great job with their business.”
Watch Us Farm grows the pumpkins for the Zionsville Lions Pumpkins and Hayrides event each year. The Agarwals operate a small farm that sells produce, eggs, flowers and meat locally.
“We grow about 1,000 pumpkins for the
Lions Club, and we also like to help out with as many of their events as possible,” Janice said.
David recently became a Lions Club member.
“We have had a great relationship with the Lions Club for years,” Janice said. “It can be hard to be a member (of) too many things, and we volunteer a lot. Our relationship with the Lions Club is an intimate part of our relationship with the community.”
The couple has been involved in the Boone County Special Olympics, served on the boards of several nonprofits, worked with Zionsville Community Schools and helped community churches set up programs for special needs children.
In the past, the Agarwal family has participated in the VIP Night at the Fall Festival, a night where families of special needs children enjoy a traditional American carnival in a friendly environment.
“One of my sons has special needs and has gotten to enjoy the event, and the other has been able to be a buddy for other children,” Janice said. “As our son has grown up, we are taking on a volunteer role and helping put things together.”
When Janice got the call from the Lions Club to serve as grand marshals, she initially thought the club was going to ask her to put together a float for the parade.
“When they told us why they were calling, I was kind of floored and incredibly humbled,” Janice said. “I immediately called my husband because we do not think of ourselves as the VIPs of anything. We have never done something like this before. I guess I have to learn to wave.”
Janice said she and her husband want to use the grand marshal platform to raise awareness for Watch Us Farm and how it provides an important service to the community.
“I want us being grand marshals to be less about us and more about the fact that if Watch Us Farm can continue to grow, there will be more visibility for those with special needs,” Janice said. “I think people are starting to see us and our work, so if people learn about it from the parade, it would be the most awesome thing ever.”
The Agarwals look forward to their participation in one of Zionsville’s signature events.
“I just love our town and getting to know everyone,” Janice said. “I could live anywhere, but my kids grew up here, and all my friends are here. This is who we are and what we do. This town is our home.”

FALL FESTIVAL
VIP Night returns to Zionsville Fall Festival
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
For the 16th consecutive year, the Zionsville Fall Festival will host its VIP Night.
According to Tim Reinhart, Fall Festival chairman, the VIP Night is for families with special needs children. VIP stands for the “Very Important People” who will be guests at the carnival.
The event begins at 5 p.m. in Lions Park, 11053 Sycamore St., Zionsville. The event provides families with special needs children with a friendly environment where kids can enjoy a traditional American carnival. The night concludes at 8 p.m.
“The event caters to families with special needs children, but the carnival will also be open to the public,” Reinhart said.
The Lions Club collaborates with the HAWK Foundation for the annual event. The HAWK Foundation is a nonprofit whose goal is to provide free seasonal events for families with children who have special needs.
Lions Club member and HAWK Foundation Chairman Paul Dreier said the event has grown each year.
“Leigh Ann Akard, a Lions Club member, realized we had seven families in the club who had children with special needs,” Dreier said. “She thought of having a night where families with special needs children could come and ride rides and play games for free.”
In the first year, 38 people attended the VIP event. Last year, 2,000 people attended.
“It has grown to be a huge and special night that people even travel from out of state to attend,” Dreier said. “Poor Jack’s Carnival

lets all the kids ride rides and play games for free. So many community members pitch in to make this night possible.”
VIP Night will include carnival rides, games, a silly safari, balloon creations, music, a bounce house, dinner provided by Chick Fil A and more.
“When you have a child with special needs, they do not always get to do the same things every other kid does,” Dreier said. “On this night, those kids are not judged or looked at differently. They get to be kids and do what other kids get to do. The event has made a difference in my life because I know we are making kids happy.”
Admission to the event is free and registration isn’t required.

Venson to make area debut in Fishers Blues Fest
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Jackie Venson is eager for her first visit to the Indianapolis area.
‘GRUMPY OLD MEN’
“Grumpy Old Men” runs through Oct. 1 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis. For more, visit beefandboards.com.
LIVE AT THE CENTER
CONCERTS
“I was supposed to (visit) in 2021 but that was the year that touring was really precarious, and the show got canceled,” said Venson, a rhythm and blues and soul artist from Austin, Texas. “I think this will be an excellent way to expose myself to a new audience, and I am excited that it will be my debut Indianapolis show.”
Venson will be the headliner for the first night of the 11th annual Fishers Blues Fest, set for Sept. 1-2 at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater. Admission is free. Venson will perform from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Sept. 1.
“I play blues festivals, but I also play a ton of nongenre-specific festivals and festival-type events,” Venson said. “I enjoy these gigs because I have the potential to be discovered by a ton of people all at once. They usually happen outside, which means the capacity of the venue is always huge. It’s a fun and rewarding experience usually.”
Her set includes several original songs from her albums “Evolution of Joy” and “Love Transcends,” as well as her other two studio albums.
“I will definitely sneak some other selections from other albums into the set as well,” Venson said.
Venson, the youngest of nine siblings, was born and raised in Austin, Texas, and lives there now.
“There’s a very low likelihood that I will leave Austin anytime soon. My whole life is here,” said Venson, whose father, Andrew Venson, was a professional musician for 40 years before retiring.
Cedric Burnside, a blues guitarist and singer-songwriter from Mississippi, will headline the Sept. 2 show with a performance from 8:30 to 10 p.m.
Burnside’s has two Grammy-nominated albums, “Descendants of Hill Country” in 2015 and “Benton County Relic” in 2018 Tickets aren’t required for the shows. Chairs, blankets and coolers are welcome. There is no outside alcohol permitted.
Queen Delphine & The Crown Jewels will perform at 7:15 p.m. Sept. 2 at the Fishers Blues Fest.

RISE Fest to feature eight bands
By Mike Beas editorial@youarecurrent.com
Andy Binford has had Sept. 16 circled in his mind’s calendar for some time now. The combination of live bands performing for various good causes with a late-summer backdrop is, in Binford’s mind, a visual that needs no touching up.
FUNDRAISER
Hamilton County RISE Fest celebrates its third annual event on the acreage of Spencer Farm Winery in Noblesville.
Eight bands will perform on two different stages beginning at 1 p.m., with the final bands finishing their sets around 9:30 p.m.
The event is free and open to all ages, with donations and proceeds to benefit a selected nonprofit in each of the county’s four largest cities — Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville and Fishers.
“What RISE stands for is rockers impacting and serving everyone,” said Binford, 52, who lives in Westfield. “In late 2020, I hooked up with some local guys, and one of them knew Duke Tumatoe, who was doing some shows to raise money for Duke’s band.
“We ended up saying, ‘Let’s pick a nonprofit from the four major cities.’ ”
This year, proceeds will go to the following nonprofits: Heart and Soul Clinic (Westfield); Children’s TherAplay (Carmel); Hamilton County Veterans Corp (Noblesville); and HopeAnchor & Crew (Fishers).
In 2022, RISE Fest drew approximately 1,000 people and raised approximately $6,000.
Binford, the vice president of IWIS Drive Systems headquartered in Whitestown, id the event’s executive director.

‘Shortcomings’ explores relationships
Commentary by Julianna Childs
Admit it, you’ve done it. I’ve done it. We’ve all done it. For anyone who’s stalked an ex on social media comes a wickedly funny film, “Shortcomings,” about the crazy ends we’re driven to by love. In his directorial debut, Randall Park turns the awkward moment when you and your partner decide to take a breather from your relationship and spins it into a comedy of errors.
Meet Ben (Justin H. Min), the night manager of a Berkeley movie theater, and his girlfriend Miko (Ally Maki), young urbanities living in the Bay Area. Their relationship is strained because of his pessimistic and pretentious attitude toward life. When Miko gets an internship opportunity in New York, they decide to take a break.
Left to his own devices, Ben pursues excitement with an oddball co-worker, Autumn, and then a grad student, Sasha. When neither fling works out, he shadows Miko on Instagram as she explores her new city. As their communication fades, Ben decides to take matters into his own hands and visit her in N.Y. Little does he know, he’s about to get a crash course in closure, Big Apple style. Surprise, Miko is living her best life with her new beau.
Rejected and obsessed is never a good combination. Still, Ben recruits Alice (Sherry Cola), his expressive lesbian sidekick, to join him in N.Y. and gather intel. The two shadow Miko, lurking through the city streets with enthusiasm and shady decision-making, leading to a series of comic events.
Based on his acclaimed graphic novel, writer Adrian Tomine delivers a dramedy with sharp-witted characters and somehow endears the audience to Ben’s messy and hypercritical personality. In an auspicious directorial debut, Park skillfully weaves together the heartbreaking and heartfelt moments of the story.

Nut, fruit spreads add flavor
Commentary by Mark LaFay
The Indiana State Fair has ended, and I am happy to report back that my team took home third place in the barbeque competition. The top three were close in points and it was an exciting awards ceremony, to say the least!
Our team incorporated several jams into our barbecue glazes, and this got me thinking about an often-overlooked condiment on charcuterie boards: nut and fruit spreads. Often, I think we get hung up on keeping savory with savory and sweet with sweet. In reality, savory components almost always magnify or enhance the sweet.
Here are a few yummy spreads to check out. You can find them in the cheese section of local grocers Joe’s Butcher Shop, Tasteful Times, Cork and Cracker, Old Major Market and other area locations:
• Dalmatia Fig Spread: This is a staple item for every charcuterie board, made with figs from the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. This spread has a smooth texture with pops of crunch from the fig seeds. It is sweet but
not overpowering. It goes great with nuts, crackers, brie, blue cheese, sharp cheddar and more.
• B-Happy Peanut Butter: This crew started in Zionsville, making nut butters with wild flavor combinations. Their joy to the world is honey roasted peanuts, dark chocolate, white chocolate and dried cranberries. Spread it on crackers with apples or pears. They have several other flavor combinations. Browse to find one that suits you best.
• Food For Thought Cherry Habanero: Tim Young started this brand about 25 years ago in Michigan, utilizing local ingredients. This is a tasty sweet cherry jelly that has a kick from habanero and red pepper flakes. It is fantastic with goat cheese, cheddar, brie, prosciutto and mild salami.

MOVIE REVIEW
Pirates always beat snakes
Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt
Visiting IU’s Lilly Library
Commentary by Don Knebel
GRAMMAR GUY
Let’s talk rivalries. Everyone has an opinion on Coke versus Pepsi. How about werewolves against vampires? Do bears beat Battlestar Galactica? Hufflepuff or Gryffindor? DC versus Marvel? There are so many good matchups to entertain.
In this case, we need to think about snakes versus pirates.
Increasingly I’ve heard people throwing around “there is” or “there’s” when they ought to say “there are.” Does this matter? Of course! After all, singular subjects need singular verbs; likewise, plural subjects get plural verbs. This is called subject-verb agreement.
However, with a subject like “there,” how do we know if the subject is singular or plural? Let’s use an example: There is/ are many ways to get to this afternoon’s drum circle. But wait a second: “There” can’t possibly be the subject, can it? No, it’s not. In fact, the subject is “ways,” although it’s not clear when we’re beginning the sentence.
Think of it this way: there are = pirates. Pirates say “ARRRRR!” There is = snake. A snake says “HISSSS!” One snake is singular. Multiple pirates are plural. Let’s substitute “there” with “snake” and then “pirates” into our sentence: Snake is many ways to get to this afternoon’s drum circle. Pirates are many ways to get to this afternoon’s drum circle. Although they both sound ridiculous, “pirates” sounds better.
A snake (which goes HISSSS!) is singular. Pirates (which go ARRRRR!) are plural. There is = singular. There are = plural. In a battle between one snake and a crew of pirates, I’d put my doubloons on the pirates; one snake couldn’t possibly take a whole pirate posse down. Pirates beat snakes. There’s plenty of room for argument here.

With our tour of Alaska over, we will visit often-overlooked places an easy drive from Indianapolis. Today, we explore the Lilly Library in Bloomington. By 1950, Josiah K. Lilly Jr., then president of Eli Lilly & Co., had amassed an extraordinary collection of rare books, manuscripts and works of art. Between 1954 and 1957, he donated thousands of those items to Indiana University, forming the nucleus of the Lilly Library, which opened in 1960 in a limestone building just south of Showalter Fountain. Hundreds of thousands of items have since been added to the collection, many donated by collectors. When the 52,516-square-foot building was reconfigured in 2019 to accommodate its growing collection, murals were added to the reading room.
TRAVEL
The Lilly Library’s 450,000 books include one of only 11 Gutenberg Bibles in the United States; the “Nuremberg Chronicles,” an elaborately illustrated account of the history of the world published in 149; the first printed edition of “The Canterbury Tales;” the first folio of Shakespeare’s collected works, published in London in 1623; and Thomas Jefferson’s personal copy of the first print-

ing of the Bill of Rights. The 8.5 million manuscripts include those for “Peter Pan” and “Auld Lang Syne” and two letters written by George Washington, one to Patrick Henry turning down a proposed stock gift and the other accepting the presidency.

Many of the 30,000 mechanical puzzles are displayed in the separate Slocum Room, with some available for solving. An eclectic collection of Americana includes two locks of Edgar Allen Poe’s hair — one sent in a letter to a lover just before his death — and four Oscars won by director John Ford.
