The Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program had so much success with last year’s inaugural Hamilton employment County Hiring Fair that it plans to play host to a second event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 14 at Ivy Tech, 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville.

Last year, 270 job seekers attended. Sixty vendors, each offering full-time positions with a minimum starting salary of $27,000, participated. The requirements are the same for the March event, and organizers hope to have up to 75 vendors.

“People came, and not only did they interview for jobs, but actually received job offers that day,” said Jason Ells, a member of the Sheridan Youth Assistance Program board and senior vice president of Custom Concrete in Westfield. “Not only did they do on-site interviews, but people were hired on the spot.”

Job offerings will be in specific fields, including health care, hospitality, agricultural science, construction, technology, transportation, manufacturing and public safety. Many of the jobs also offer benefits, and some will offer starting salaries above the $27,000 minimum.

Training agencies will be featured as well.

Application and resume assistance will be

provided by Work One of Hamilton County. The event is free for job seekers.

“We will have training agencies there such as Ivy Tech, and those who are training people versus employers,” said Lisa Samuels, an early intervention advocate for the SYAP. “If you want to learn a trade, there’s also those opportunities, too.”

The event will have an open-house feel. Job seekers are not required to attend the entire day.

“We are going to have volunteers there to help people, show them around and make introductions to walk them to an area they’re interested in,” Ells said. “It really is a wraparound service for those who are intimidated – the introverted folks who may not necessarily know how to talk to people well. We will have people there to help you with that. There really isn’t an excuse not to be there.”

Many of the vendors offering jobs do not require a college degree. Entry-level and experienced skill trades will be offered.

“Come meet people who want to meet you,” Ells said. “You’ve got a captive audience of employers who are ready to hire people.”

Vendors must sign up by March 7. For more or to register as a vendor, visit eventbrite. com/e/2019-hamilton-county-career-hiringfair-registration-53191767007.

The Fishers Police Dept. arrested a driver involved in a Feb. 3 fatal crime crash that happened near the entrance of the Rolling Knoll neighborhood.

The crash occurred before 6:30 p.m. at 116th Street and Belle Plaine Boulevard, west of Hoosier Road. A 2017 Honda was attempting to turn northbound on Belle Plaine Boulevard from eastbound on 116th Street when it struck a 2015 Yamaha motorcycle.

The motorcyclist, Adams Jonathon Reynolds, 24, of Indianapolis, was injured and transported to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, where he died. The driver of the Honda, Gayl Adams, 66, of Indianapolis, was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

Adams claimed she didn’t see the motorcyclist. Officers noted an alcoholic odor while speaking to Adams. After submitting to a breath-alcohol test, it was discovered Adams had a blood-alcohol content of .15 percent. She was taken into custody and transported to the Hamilton County Jail.

Another bombing hits in late 1800s Commentary by Robert Bowling Albert Trittipo, who owned a popular downtown Fishers back in the day general store, survived an attempt on his life in 1892 when a pipe bomb exploded, causing injury.

Many people speculated it was because of his opposition to the saloons where “whiskey flowed freely.” Whatever the reason, the intended effect failed and the Trittipos stayed their ground.

On June 13, 1895, there was another attempt to take Trittipos life by the use of an “infernal machine.” He received a package mailed from Cincinnati. It was a box about “4 by 2 by 2.5 inches.” The package itself did not raise suspicions. The words “open this end” were written on the box. He couldn’t explain why, but he opened the package from the other end. That decision saved his life.

Inside the package were sticks of dynamite wrapped tightly together with twine.

The core of dynamite was placed into a small wooden box filled with gunpowder until it snugly fit. Matches were attached to the lid,

held tightly against a piece of sandpaper.

If Trittipo had opened the correct end, the sandpaper would have ignited the matches.

The matches then would have ignited the gunpowder, which would have then exploded the dynamite, which was enough to level an entire building.

Unlike the 1892 bombing, this incident made national headlines. Trittipo had been appointed postmaster of Fishers Station in 1893. The attempted assassination of a federal employee was major news. The suspect(s) were never apprehended in either bombing attempt. It is suspected that this was the work of a Fishers Station resident who mailed it from Cincinnati to avoid being traced. Although there wasn’t another attempt on Trittipo’s life, another relative, Ora Trittipo, was the victim of a bombing incident in 1914. The Trittipo bombings will always remain a Fishers’ mystery.

Robert Bowling has been a Fishers police officer for 16 years. He is a school resource officer and is the Fishers Police Dept. historian. He has a love of history and enjoys sharing it with others. He recently wrote the script and performed in the “Battle of Mudsock” re-enactment.

Couple commits to volunteerism

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers husband-and-wife team Jim and Pat Life won’t valentine’s day say exactly how long they’ve been together but acknowledge its been at least 50 years.

Now retired, they fill their time volunteering. They began volunteering at IU Saxony Hospital in Fishers when the hospital opened in December 2011. Pat volunteers at the welcome desk, and Jim volunteers in the medical office building.

“We feel very blessed, and we found this was a great opportunity to give back after we both retired,” Pat said. “We’ve been very blessed in our life and we had the time, and that’s what we thought we would do, some volunteer work.”

Pat and Jim said working the front desks is rewarding because they’re able to lift peoples’ spirits.

Jim said many patients visit his facility for hip or knee replacements or some other form of surgery.

“When people come in with those types of situations, they’re anxious, so we just try to

lift their spirits,” Jim said. “There’s some real anxiety when you come to the hospital or the doctor’s office, so we try to get rid of that anxiety the best we can. It’s really gratifying to be of some help like that.”

In addition to volunteering at the hospital, the Lifes volunteer at other places in the community, such as their church. Jim serves with the Indianapolis Downtown Lions Club.

Pat’s birthday is Valentine’s Day. Pat and Jim aren’t sure how they’ll celebrate, but because Valentine’s Day is on a Thursday, they imagine they’ll be volunteering at IU Saxony Hospital, like they always do on Thursdays.

Janet Evans has a soft spot for the YMCA swimming program, Giving back After all, that’s where the three-time Olympic swimmer got her start.

“For my mom who didn’t know how to swim, it was her first knee-jerk reaction.

She just knew her kids needed to know how to swim and she called the Y,” Evans said. “I think it was a positive, nurturing environment.”

Evans, 47, visited the Fishers YMCA Jan. 26 to give a one-hour stroke clinic and then shared her success story, took questions, posed for pictures and signed autographs for the swimmers. In the evening, she attended the YMCA’s Revolution Ball in downtown Indianapolis to raise money for swim lessons and water safety programs.

“I just think water safety is so important and promoting what these kids can do after they learn how to swim,” Evans said.

“Be a triathlete, be a swimmer, be a powerboarder, be a surfer, it is such a life sport.

I have a special affection for the YMCA because that’s where I learned how to swim and their programs are so incredible.”

Evans won Olympic gold medals in the 400-meter freestyle, 800 freestyle and 400 individual medley at the 1988 Olympics and won a gold in the 800 freestyle and a silver in the 400 freestyle at the 1992 Olympics.

Olympic gold medalist Janet Evans pauses with Nate Shimer at the Fishers YMCA (Photo by Mark Ambrogi)

She didn’t win a medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta but she did have a memorable moment, passing the Olympic torch to Muhammad Ali. “It’s interesting meeting someone who’s won a gold medal,” said Riverside Junior High seventh-grader Nate Shimer, who swims for the YMCA Sharks. “It’s great that my teammates and I get to experience this.”

Evans came out of retirement and achieved her goal by qualifying for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.

“I just wanted to see what I could do as a 40-year-old woman,” Evans said.

Evans enjoys sharing advice with the young swimmers.

“It’s fun to have the kids tell me they’ll see me at the 2028 Olympics,” said Evans, whose daughter Sydney, 12, is a competitive swimmer. “It’s fun to see them excited about the sport. It’s such a great sport. It keeps them disciplined and teaches them a life skill.”

The Indiana Dept. of Education recently released graduation education rates for all publicschool districts in the state. The waiver graduation rate and the non-waiver graduation rate increased.

In Hamilton County, all school districts had a graduation rate well above 95 percent.

Hamilton Southeastern Schools led the county with a 97.13 graduation rate.

Carmel Clay Schools had a 96.87 percent rate, followed by Noblesville Schools (96.33 percent) and Westfield Washington Schools (96.01 percent).

WWS dropped approximately half a percent from 2017. Hamilton Southeastern

Schools rose approximately 5 percent in 2018. Carmel Clay Schools increased one-third of a percent while Noblesville Schools dropped approximately 2 percent.

Overall, schools within Hamilton County’s four cities were all above the state average, which is less than 90 percent.

“With the increase to Indiana’s graduation rate, it is evident our schools are committed to the academic success of our students,” Indiana Supt. of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick stated in a press release. “While there is still work to be done, we will continue to partner with local districts to ensure every student graduates prepared for life beyond high school.”

Alec and Jenny Tod talk marriage, owning a business together. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

love and coffee Tods reflect on life, co-business ownership for Valentine’s Day

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When it comes to all things love and coffee, Fishers couple cover story Alec and Jenny Tod go about it together. Their different strengths and skill sets make co-owning Indie Coffee Roasters a profitable venture.

The Tods met through a mutual friend who attended Cincinnati Christian University, where Alec was attending school.

The friend introduced the two, who quickly became friends. They began dating a year later and were married March 10, 2012 - 1 1/2 years after they first dated.

“I felt like I never really met somebody like her,” Alec said. “So, for me, three or four months in, I knew this is who I want to be with forever. I just knew she was the one I wanted to share life with, and we are very much on a team aspect, so we are very much equals in this relation-

ship. I wanted a teammate that would push me and make me better, even as hard as that is sometimes, and I knew she was who that was. It was quick for me.”

For Jenny, the courtship process was a little slower.

“It took me a lot longer to come around,” she said. “I actually broke up with him like twice. After the second time, he told me I had to ask him out. It took me a lot longer to come around.”

Jenny said she realized Alec was the one after he met her family.

“They were all in approval of him, and I knew he wasn’t going anywhere,” she said. “After breaking up with him twice and coming back, I knew he actually cared a lot about me.”

When it came to starting a business together, Jenny had experience with marketing and branding, and Alec has always had an affinity for coffee.

“I saw how passionate he was about coffee, and I wanted to help him pursue

his passion and his dream,” Jenny said. “I wanted to support that. I think we both have very unique strengths. We are pretty different. He’s an introvert, I’m an extrovert. He’s much more thought-through and I think I do things more on the whim.

I come up with tons of ideas and he likes to stick with one thing, so I think we just saw that each others’ strengths could benefit each other.”

Indie Coffee Roasters began in 2013. The Tods roasted coffee and sold wholesale.

They later parntered with the other two co-owners, Diane and Kevin McAndrews, also a married couple, and last year opened the Carmel-based Indie Coffee Roasters brick-and-mortar store at 220 E. Main St. in Carmel.

“The exciting part about owning a business with your spouse is you can grow something together as a family,” Alec said.

The couple has a 14-month-old son, Roman Myles.

“We are supporting one another by

working hard,” Jenny said. “So, by me working hard and doing my job, I’m supporting him. Everything he does is, in a way, supporting what I’m doing.”

The Tods tips for success when owning a business together • Find personal time. “Separate personal time versus professional time,” Jenny said. “It’s interesting to find the balance because as any couple would, we talk about what happened at work today.”

• Find a healthy way to work together. “We schedule meetings, even between the two of us, that are more professional meetings, that this is the time we are going to talk about marketing and how it affects coffee, but don’t allow yourself to have a board meeting at dinner or all the time,” Alec said.

ESSA Y Fixing bias

LE T T ER The next level

Commentary by Terry Anker “As we forgive them that trespass against us…” holds the line from one of the most often recited prayers of the modern era. Originally published in 1611, the 14-line, 70-word devotion encourages us to remember the simple rules of a civilized life. Remember that we are subservient to a higher power. Remember that food and security are not assured. Remember that we are frail and easily tempted to our own destruction and that vengeance benefits not us or those against whom we might seek it.

But in a world where many have replaced a Sunday morning reciting of the Lord’s Prayer with an endless watching of the Sunday political shows, our collective conscience seems to have moved from one of self-restraint to one of aggressive demands for retribution. Surely, if not retaliatory, the various talking heads seem to foment a sense of clannish entitlement: “We are wronged. You are taking my stuff/ dignity/position/whatever, and we will fight you to get it back.”

A well-respected local arts organization recently announced its intention to adhere to 50/50 by 2020 – a plan designed to reach “parity” in the arts. All voices, if worthy, should be heard. Still, if one is to understand the thinking, because there has been bias, real or perceived, in who is getting selected to volunteer, to exhibit, to evaluate, then we must consider an institutionalized system of bias to stop bias. An eye for an eye and all that thinking. Art has long been filtered by wealth and power. Is it possible that talent matters but only as a subset of what is allowed to be seen? Still, can we expect or hope that an institutionalized bias is the tool used to fix institutionalized bias?

Let snow, let it snow, let it snow Commentary by Danielle Wilson I survived the Polar Vortex of 2019! And what’s more, I was able to reflect on how far I’ve come as a mother. humor Remember the Snowpocalypse of 2014? For those of you still suffering from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Snow Disorder), recall that five years ago we had a winter break that was extended by essentially seven days thanks to a blizzard and record-low temps. I was literally trapped indoors with a moody 15-year-old, bickering twin 12-year olds and a precocious 9-year old for three full weeks. Each night, I would offer up several Hail Marys, burn incense and sacrifice a chicken cordon bleu in hopes that someone, somewhere, would get the schools open. Scrabble and breakfast for dinner can take you only so far before Legos start looking like potential weapons and one begins seriously considering a permanent move to Boca, sunburn and geriatrics be damned.

But no longer! With our oldest away at college and none of the rest emerging from hibernation until noon, at the earliest, snow days are now fun days. I anticipated with delight the dangerous wind chills and the icy roads that would keep us stuck at home by the fire with nothing to do but watch Netflix and eat cookie dough. I applauded when the two-hour delay became a cancellation, and I still had at least three hours to myself to clean the house, stalk Facebook and binge more cookie dough. Vortex schmortex. It was awesome.

So, to all you parents with young ones at home, I suppose I’m offering a warm light at the end of future Snowmageddon tunnels.

Hang in there!

Peace out.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK

“Independence is happiness.”

-Susan B. Anthony

Editor, The governor and our legislature have already invested in programs that are delivering more (than) 100 times the returns to Hoosiers. Prior efforts of Gov. Eric Holcomb and the Indiana General Assembly to invest in our workforce have already positively impacted the lives of many Hoosiers while building upon a solid foundation for economic growth. The 2019 General Assembly has the opportunity to leverage this to achieve exponential growth for Indiana.

Tens of thousands of jobs remain unfilled today in Indiana, with a projection of more than 65,000 open tech jobs over the next decade. Thus far, Workforce Ready Grants have already benefitted more than 13,000 Hoosiers and Employer Training Grants, through more than 450 employers participating, and trained more than 6,500.

Funded under the governor’s program, Eleven Fifty Academy, a nonprofit organization, has produced 30-plus graduates with a 93 percent graduation rate, an 81 percent job placement and an average starting salary of $51,000. If Eleven Fifty Academy is fully enabled to train 3,000-plus Hoosiers over the next two years, doing its small part to fill those 65,000 jobs, it will create $62.5 million in Hoosier income in the first year.

My advice: Leverage the things that are working and invest tenfold, for this is how we move the needle. This is how we win.

Scott Jones, Carmel

Cartoon not political satire

Keep up the good work

Editor, Picture this: A border patrol agent lying in a pool of his own blood. A figure stands over him holding a rifle with the words “Fast & Furious” written across it. That figure is former President Barack Obama.

What do you think the reaction would have been? The disturbing cartoon in your Jan. 8 issue is the most vulgar and disgusting cartoon I have ever seen. It doesn’t matter what someone has said about another person. Even if they are the president, this cartoon should never see print and those who published it should be horse whipped. Current has obviously forgotten what effective political satire is meant to be and why it works. I feel like I need a shower to wash it off but I’ll never be able to not see it.

Doug Stout, Fishers

Editor, I read regular letters to the editor criticizing Tim Campbell and his cartoons. I think many readers must not be aware of or have forgotten the role of political satirist in cartoons. Keep up the good work, Tim! Tracy Nierste, Fishers

Vicious recycle cycle Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Mary Ellen and I had our usual Sunday evening conversation.

“Is this the week we put out humor the recycling?” I asked.

“No, we put it out last week, didn’t we?”

“We did, but they didn’t pick it up, so it must be this week.”

“Maybe we put it out too late and missed the truck,” Mary Ellen said. “Does anyone else have their recycle bin out?”

“Yes, Jerry took his out,” I said.

“You can’t go by him. Jerry puts it out every Monday, Dick. He’s always the cause of the confusion.”

“Wait, Eric’s putting his out now. I’m going to take ours out, too.”

As I was wheeling our trash and recycling dumpsters out of the garage, Eric called to me.

“Dick, is this the recycling week?”

“I’m not sure, Eric. But Paul’s putting his out.”

I hollered to Paul: “Are you sure this is the week for recycling?”

“I don’t think it is, Dick, but I saw you guys putting yours out, and I figured you

knew.”

Within minutes, every house had their yellow-lidded receptacles in the driveway.

“If this is the wrong week, everyone will be blaming us,” Mary Ellen said.

Monday evening, the bins were untouched, so I watched everyone haul their recyclables back into their garages. A lot of people talking trash about the Wolfsies.

The next morning, I heard Rays Recycling truck approaching.

“NO!” I screamed. It’s Tuesday! Then I remembered, Monday was Martin Luther King Day. No pick-up.

I felt guilty for messing up everyone, so I organized a neighborhood meeting where we created a recycling schedule for the next 20 years and emailed the spreadsheet to everyone.

The whole thing was very educational, but I agree with Kermit the Frog. It’s not easy being green.

Rose Senior Living holds drive

By Sara Baldwin Schatz sara@youarecurrent.com Rose Senior Living Carmel partnered with Indiana Blood Center, now managed by Versiti, to play host to a giving back Jan. 29 blood drive. The blood center bus parked in front of the senior living center, 1285 Fairfax Manor Dr., Carmel, during the event.

Blood center technicians Danielle Denise and Charles Arvin accepted blood from donors, including several Rose Senior Living staff.

“Rose Senior Living Carmel prides itself in giving back to the community in any way we can,” said Dana Shore, marketing and sales director at Rose Senior Living. “When we realized January was National Blood Donor Month, we knew hosting a blood drive would be a great way to give back.”

Indiana Blood Center announced in early January that it was in dire need of donations, as blood donations historically decline in winter months. Certain blood types, such as B positive, are in critically short supply.

“Each unit can help up to three people,” Denise said.

Wendi Coates, life enrichment director at Rose Senior Living, donates blood during the drive.

Shore said Rose Senior Living wanted to challenge others to make giving blood a priority.

“These donations are imperative to helping those in need,” she said.

WEIGHT LOSS

A new virtual reality business has opened at Hamilton Town Center, now open a first for Hamilton County.

Derezzed VR was launched last month by 24-year-old Colin Snyder, who said he first became interested in the business of virtual reality during his time at Ball State University.

“I was following the development of the Oculus, one of the first VR headsets,” Snyder said. “I had the idea back (in 2013) that it might be a worthwhile investment to put some of these pieces of technology together and provide a place and a platform for people to be able to use it because it’s not really affordable as an at-home service.

“At the time, the tech really wasn’t in a position to bring it all together and make it feasible, so after I got my graduate degree, I went back and revisited the idea and went forward from there.”

Snyder opened the 1,300-square-foot facility at 13904 Town Center Blvd., Suite 600,

near Englin’s Shoe Rack and Claire’s. The space is home to seven VR bays.

A Fishers native, Snyder returned to the area after college.

Derezzed VR offers a membership program for frequent visitors, but regular prices are based on time slots - $15 for 15 minutes, $25 for 30 minutes and $40 for an hour.

Grapevine Cottage reaching 20 years

By Heather Lusk news@currentzionsville.com

*These results ARE average for our clients

Doug Pendleton didn’t initially plan to open a wine shop in Ziaccomplishment onsville.

“It actually kind of chose me,” said Pendleton, who ows Grapevine Cottage.

The businesses is celebrating 20 years of operation this summer.

“I was just a frustrated wine consumer,” Pendleton said. “I put together the store I’d like to shop in.”

During his search for a location, he discovered a bankrupt gourmet food business on Main Street. He purchased the shop and its liquor license and opened Grapevine Cottage in August 1999.

Even with decades of retail experience, Pendleton didn’t expect the business would last 20 years, or that he would add a second location in Fishers in 2011.

“I’ve kind of created a monster,” he said, laughing. “Part of our secret is the right

people, people on the sales floor who actually know something about wine.”

Most of his staff is retired, with the exception of Mat McGraw, his general manager and business partner whom he expects will take over the business when he retires.

Within a few months of opening in 1999, Pendleton started a digital newsletter.

“It was right at the dawn of email marketing,” he said. “People weren’t getting 800 pieces of junk in their mailbox. They would actually read things.”

With roughly 7,000 recipients, Pendleton will publish the 1,000th issue in May. One of his biggest challenges is finding young customers amidst the popularity of bourbon and craft beers, but he expects the trend will return to wine.

Pendleton is known as “the wine guy” to his customers, a moniker he first earned in California. He enjoys helping customers and having the chance to sample wines, which often requires filtering through the good and bad.

Carmel Community Players production takes a lyrical look at relationships

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The four-person cast of “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” hastens through rapid character theater development.

“You don’t have arc of character throughout the show, but you have that in every scene,” actress Brenna Whitaker said.

The Noblesville resident appears in the Carmel Community Players’ nine performances of the musical on weekends from Feb. 22 to March 10 at The Cat, 245 Veterans Way, Carmel. The musical examines relationships from first dates to dealing with marriage, child rearing, empty nests and beyond.

“I did this show for the first time at Mud Creek, maybe 10 or 15 years ago,” Whitaker said. “A few years after that I did it at Myers Dinner Theatre in Hillsboro. Every character plays multiple parts. We’re a different person in every scene. After this show I will have done every women’s part. The fun thing about doing it multiple times is I was at a different stage in life each time I did it.

The first time it resonated because I was single and dating. Now, I’m married with a young son, so the second act is what is resonating now.”

Westfield resident Dee Timi suggested staging the musical to CCP, having directed it in Joplin, Mo., in 2008 when she lived there.

“It’s that show that makes you laugh, makes you cry,” Timi said. “No matter what stage of life you’re in, it’s fun.”

Libby Buck, an Indianapolis resident, saw the musical for the first time in New York on a field trip with her Valparaiso High School musical theater class.

“I’ve been obsessed with it ever since,” Buck said.

But she hasn’t seen it since.

“This has been one of my bucket-list shows, so it’s been really exciting to participate,” she said. “The most challenging part is recalling what your character is from scene to scene. When I saw it in high

The performances run through March 2.

Andy Kear stars in the title role, with Nikki Miller as Sally, Chris Trombetta as her brother and Sally Scharbrough as Fish. AnnaLee Traeger and Christine Zavakos round out the cast as Kitten 1/Thing 1 and Kitten 2/Thing 2, respectively.

The show is directed by Elizabeth Stark Payne and choreographed by Jennifer Ladner. The musical director is Kristy Templet.

school, I just thought it was funny. Now, I’ve been married for 10 years and have two kids of my own, so a lot of the second act makes more sense to me now.”

Buck and the two male cast members, Jonathan Scoble, Carmel, and Christian Condra, Indianapolis, are making their CCP debuts.

“Playing different characters is the thrill,” Scoble said. “Playing different characters are, to me, what is the most fun about acting. It’s hilarious. The script drew me in pretty quickly.”

Scoble said he got a call that CCP was looking for men because not many showed up to the auditions.

“Christian and I have been working together for a couple of shows now and we want to work together more,” Scoble said.

Scoble, who is single, said he identifies

with several of the characters.

“The trials and tribulations of dating, don’t we all have a story?” Scoble said.

“From beginning to end, you can see interactions between men and women, which is fascinating.”

The experience is new for Condra.

“I’ve always done shows that are one consistent story, and this is a bunch of different skits,” Condra said. “It’s almost ‘SNL, the Musical,’ that’s what stood out to me. It runs the range of different acting styles.”

Noblesville resident Sandy Baetzhold is the musical director.

The book and lyrics are by Joe DiPietro and the music is by Jimmy Roberts. The musical played off-Broadway for more than nine years before being released to community theaters.

CHS siblings dig all that jazz

By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com For Carmel siblings Oscar and Joe Cronin, being selected to the All-State Jazz Ensemble is nothing new. music But the thrill never gets old.

“Being a part of the ensemble was a very fun experience for me,” said Oscar, a Carmel High School junior.

“I got to work with some of Oscar Cronin the best young musicians from all over the state.”

Joe, a CHS freshman, echoed the sentiment.

“I was excited,” he said. “It’s a great experience to be working with a lot of other great players.”

Oscar and Joe were among 17 Hamilton County student-musicians who auditioned for, and were selected to, either the All-State Jazz Ensemble or the Junior All-State Jazz Ensemble. The ensembles performed at the Jan. 18 Indiana Music Educators Association Convention in Fort Wayne.

Oscar, a trombone player, was part of the All-State Jazz Ensemble, which is for grades 10 through 12. He was selected for the Junior All-State Ensemble, for grades 7 through 9, when he was an eighth-grader.

Joe, a drummer, made the Junior All-State Ensemble for the second straight year.

Both siblings perform in multiple bands at

CHS and are avid jazz fans.

“I am a member of the Carmel High School Wind Symphony 1 and Jazz 1,” Oscar said. “I have participated in the Butler Youth Jazz program for several years and also am a member of Indy Jazz Futures. I also am the leader of my own jazz combo, Lowkeys Jazz.”

Oscar was joined on the All-State Jazz Ensemble by fellow CHS musician Charlie Joe Cronin Harriman, who plays guitar.

Noblesville High School students Grace Wiles (trombone) and Sam Eger (piano) also were part of the ensemble.

Joe, meanwhile, was joined on the Junior All-State Jazz Ensemble by the following local students: Conway Zhang (saxophone), Carmel Middle School; Ian Robison (saxophone), Hamilton Heights Middle School; Nate Cook (saxophone), Noblesville High School; Skyler Cole (saxophone), Zionsville Middle School; Addison Coons (lead trumpet), Zionsville Middle School; Connor Meinerding (trumpet), Noblesville High School; Tyler Siversten (lead trombone), Noblesville High School; Jonah McKnight (trombone), Zionsville Middle School; Sean Vitales (trombone), Noblesville High School; Nicholas Ok (piano), Noblesville High School; Andrew Matthews (guitar), Noblesville High School; and Jay Thornbury (bass), Noblesville High School; For more, visit imeamusic.org.

Valentine wines under $20

Commentary by Elizabeth Morse

“Love is like wine. To sip is fine, but to empty the bottle is a headache” — Julio Iglesias WINEderlust Looking for a special Valentine bottle? Show your love some love with one of these great options that won’t break the bank. I’ve got three pretties to share: a white, a red and a sparkler. Just because it’s good doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. Cheers!

The white is 2014 Hugel Gentil, an Edelzwicker (blend) from Alsace, France. It’s heavy on the Gewurztraminer with smaller amounts of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Muscat.

A full-bodied and refreshing wine with a beautiful, perfumey nose. In the glass are crisp fruit flavors with a lean, lemony finish. A great choice with fish and shellfish.

This wine is an old favorite of mine that is consistent from year to year. Dry and $15.

2015 Charles Smith Wines “Velvet Devil”

Merlot, $14, is from Washington. A dense red wine that begs for beef dishes or dark chocolate dessert. Expect a mouthful of dark cherries and blackberries, big cedar and sweet tobacco. Velvet Devil offers big flavor in a luxurious, velvety smooth finish.

This one goes down fast and easy.

This unique sparkler is bone dry and dark red with pretty pink foam. Midici Ermete I Quercioli “Secco” is a Lambrusco from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and will set you back about $15. This works beautifully with cheesy pasta dishes like ravioli and also is a successful choice with clams, mussels and oysters.

Celebrate Punchbowl Social The Cook’s Salad from Punchbowl Social in downtown Indianapolis is a fresh, unique combination of many vibrant ingredients.

(Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner

ing my mother’s fried bologna for breakfast.

For my main dish, I ordered the Cook’s Salad, a giant bowl of little gem lettuce, bacon, crispy chicken, tomatoes, pickled green beans, creamy avocado, hard-boiled eggs, gruyere cheese, Dixie Caviar (which is actually just a fancy way of saying black-eyed peas) and a shallot-thyme vinaigrette dressing. The salad was fresh, filling and had a unique twist with the combination of ingredients.

Suggested pairings: Punchbowl Social has several punch bowls, and if they’re in the restaurant’s name, you know they have to be good. There are three main offerings – The Watermelon Polo Bowl, It’s a Mer-Man’s World and The King’s Cup, all $9. A featured punch, which the bartender will educate you on if you visit, is $8. All contain alcohol and are delicious. For more, visit punchbowlsocial.com.

Address: 120 S. Meridian St., Indianapolis What to get: Cook’s Salad Price: $14 Anna’s take: Punchbowl Social offers more than just extraordinary food and drinks. It features an arcade, a bowling alley, karaoke, games like giant Scrabble and giant Jenga, the famous red cursive “I love you so much” wall and more.

Before I even ordered, I was brought a complimentary basket of the most delicious little biscuits and jam. For an appetizer, I started with the Lil’ Fried Bologna and Cheese Sandwiches ($8). I grew up in the country, so taking a bite out of these bologna, tomato, olive tapenade and gruyere sandwiches was like a slightly fancier memory of eat-

Blueprint for Improvement: White-hot kitchen remodel in Indianapolis Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

Background: Built in 1985, this home is near Eagle Creek Reservoir. The homeowners were looking to modernize their space and streamline their lives.

the challenge The homeowners worked with our designers to create a space that felt bigger without knocking down any walls. They also wanted more functional storage space.

The Solution Our team transformed this ho-hum kitchen into a true centerpiece of the home.

1. The homeowners chose a gorgeous gray for the lower cabinets and white for the upper cabinets.

2. Bulkheads over the cabinets were removed and replaced with taller cabinetry that not only provides more storage, but makes the room seem taller.

3. A quartz countertop was installed, and the tile backsplash was taken all the way to the ceiling to give the illusion of a taller ceiling.

4. Instead of two smaller pantries, the design gave the homeowners one larger, more functional pantry space and a new counter for meal prep.

To get started on your own remodeling project, visit us at caseindy.com or stop by one of our three locations.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@ caseindy.com. To see more before-and-after pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

From rocks to riches in Sydney

Dispatches Keeping coffee fresh – For storing coffee and keeping beans on hand, here are some helpful guidelines.

1. Store whole beans, not ground — ground coffee loses flavor quickly 2. Use coffee beans within two weeks for the best flavor 3. Store beans in an airtight container somewhere dark and cool — but not in the refrigerator Source: TheKitchn.com

Commentary by Don Knebel The Rocks, a fashionable area in Sydney, Australia, was once home to English convicts. Its name comes from the quarries where they travel hewed rocks.

After the American colonies gained independence, England selected eastern Australia, then uninhabited by Europeans, as the new overseas dumping ground for its convicts. On Jan, 26, 1788, its anniversary celebrated as Australia Day, an English fleet brought 850 convicts to the southern shore of what is now Sydney Harbor. The prisoners built their own homes from mud and wood among the nearby sandstone quarries where many were forced to work. After Sydney became a port city, the quarry area, called The Rocks, was home to brothels and bars serving incoming sailors. The area’s reputation took more hits when it was quarantined during the plague of 1900 and when the approach to the Sydney Harbor Bridge sliced through its western side in 1923.

By mid-century, Sydney’s city planners proposed leveling all the remaining structures in the dreary slum and replacing them with high-rises.

A protest by residents of The Rocks, some tracing their families’ roots in the area to 1800, led to a 1975 agreement that buildings, including residences,

would be preserved and important buildings restored. When cruise ships began docking nearby, restored buildings in The Rocks were transformed into popular tourist destinations. The picturesque ASN Co. Building, once a warehouse, now houses a gallery and retail shops. Other restored buildings became museums and restaurants. The area under the Sydney Harbor Bridge is now a park, with a spectacular view of the Sydney Opera House. Sydney’s sophisticated young people come to

Bouncier hair — If you want to give your hair some body and bounce, use a bit of champagne. Wash and rinse as usual. Then comb about a cup of champagne through damp hair. Let sit for a couple of minutes, then rinse.

The bubbly should help make your hair livelier, and the tartaric acid in the champagne will bring out your hair’s natural highlights, especially if you are blonde.
