Dillinger delivers State of the County

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger delivered the annual State of the County UPDATE Jan. 22 at the Embassy Suites in Noblesville.

Dillinger started the presentation by sharing statistics.

“First of all, we are very solvent. We have over $50 million in a surplus, so we Dillinger manage our money well,” he said.

Dillinger said the county’s median household income is approximately $90,000, whereas the state average is $57,000, and that the average Hamilton County home value is $240,000 compared to the state average of $130,000.

Infrastructure projects largely dominated the conversation, but other topics included recently passed ordinances and the local income tax for the 911 facility.

Much of the infrastructure discussion revolved around the Ind. 37 thoroughfare.

“The first part of this project is the drainage, and we have been working on that for over a year now,” Dillinger said. “126th Street and State Road 37 is the first intersection, and that broke ground in September. This entire corridor will look more like the Keystone corridor than the 31 corridor.

The reason is because we wanted the higher level not to divide our community and our businesses, so 37 will be going under and east-west (travel) will be going over.”

Dillinger encouraged attendees to visit 37thrives.com for updates.

Dillinger also mentioned the 146th Street and Allisonville Road intersection. He said he is uncertain whether

The intersection at 126th Street and Ind. 37 is the first intersection under construction for the Ind. 37 thoroughfare project.

(Submitted rendering)

146th Street would travel over or under Allisonville Road once a project was outlined and finished, but construction is scheduled to start in August 2022 and finish in 2023 and cost approximately $25 million.

“It’s imperative we do something big with this intersection,” Dillinger said.

Dillinger also discussed recently completed projects, such as Lowes Way in Carmel, which had a ribbon-cutting ceremony in July 2019, and the Logan Street bridge in Noblesville, which had a ribbon cutting earlier this month.

Dillinger also noted three recent ordinances the county established – an animal ordinance, a junk ordinance and a sign ordinance.

“The animal ordinance was passed because we were getting a lot of complaints from the animal control officer telling us a lot of animals were being left out in below-zero weather and not taken well care of,” Dillinger said. “The ordinance now includes temperature guidelines to protect animals from extreme weather, clearly defines food, water, shelter, space and veterinary care for animals and has stronger pen-

alties for abuse and neglect.”

The new junk ordinance also was passed because of complaints.

“A lot of people weren’t taking care of their property with too many vehicles, and the new ordinance prohibits the accumulation of junk,” Dillinger said.

The last ordinance Dillinger discussed was the sign ordinance, which prohibits the placement of signs in county rights of way, due to the hazardous effect signs have on traffic and line of sight.

Dillinger also mentioned the 0.1 percent local income tax to fund the county’s 911 facility.

“No one likes to talk about taxes, but this is a public safety tax, and it’s a fair way to fund our 911 facility, which is extremely important to everybody,” Dillinger said. “It was necessary because the county and four major cities for the last four years were paying the entire cost for 911 because the northern communities didn’t have enough money in budget to pay for it. We didn’t think that was fair and thought everyone should pay their fair share.”

The tax unanimously was passed and went into effect Jan. 1.

OLYMPIC OPPORTUNITY Fishers resident to travel to Tokyo to officiate open-water swimming

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers resident Matt Wilson is not an Olympic COVER STORY athlete, but he’s nonetheless participating in the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo in August.

Wilson will serve as an official for the Aug. 5-6 open-water swimming events. Swimmers will compete on a 10K, or roughly 6.2-mile, course in Tokyo Bay. Wilson will be a turn judge in one event to ensure swimmers round the buoy correctly and also to confirm each of the 25 competitors is accounted for.

In the other event, Wilson will work the finish area to ensure a proper order of finish.

Wilson has never been a swimmer, but became involved in the sport 22 years ago when his kids competed.

Open-water swimming competitions are conducted in outdoor bodies of water, such as oceans, lakes and rivers.

“Our oldest kid had started swimming, and I didn’t want to spend the day sitting in the stands, so I learned how to become an official and that’s

how I started,” Wilson said.

The Wilsons moved to Florida in 2005, and that’s when Wilson got involved in open-water officiating. The family returned to Fishers in October 2016, and though his children haven’t competed in swimming for six years, Wilson is still passionate about the sport.

“It’s primarily a way to give back to a sport that really helped our kids,” he said. “They really enjoyed it, and we really enjoy watching little ones learn the sport and the joy they have doing it, and we just enjoy giving back.”

Wilson traveled to his first national-level meet for pool swimming in 2008. Since then, he’s officiated several national pool meets in the U.S. and participated in his first international open-water event in 2010.

Wilson still officiates both types of swimming and recently returned from Knoxville, Tenn., where he officiated a pool event.

“I like doing them both, and they’re completely different,” he said. “A lot of people that have done open water don’t necessarily like it because it’s too big an area to cover, and some people just like doing open water and don’t do pool events anymore, but I

like the variety. I judge all four strokes in the pool across all ages.”

Because of his impressive resumé in open-water swimming, Wilson was selected to attend the Olympics as an official for the open-water events.

“I’m one of nine officials in the U.S. on the FINA list (International Swimming Federation) international governing body for swimming for open water.

You have to be on one of two lists to be eligible to go work international-level events, and to get onto those lists you have to be nominated by your national governing body, in our case USA Swimming,” Wilson said.

USA Swimming then nominates one

official for an event like the Olympics, and FINA takes those nominations from different nations and selects five officials for the open-water events. The selection includes one official from the Americas, one from Europe, one from Asia, one from Oceania and one from Africa. Wilson was chosen from the North, Central and South Americas.

Wilson received word of his nomination in November 2019.

“Even today, I am still a little just dumbstruck by the whole thing,” he said. “When I was told I had been nominated for it I was surprised.”

Wilson leaves for Tokyo Aug. 1 and will stay for six days.

SAFETY IN OPEN-WATER EVENTS Fishers resident Matt Wilson will travel to the Tokyo Olympics in August to work as an open-water swimming official. He said there are several things swimmers have to be aware of in open-water events versus pool swimming, especially with regard to safety. “(In open water), you have weather elements, nature elements, the water temperature or

things in the water you have to be mindful of,” he said. “If you’re racing in the ocean, you may have jellyfish, you may have undertow current issues you have to deal with. We are always watching for the athletes, and that’s the big thing we impress on all the officials is making sure we have everyone accounted for.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Unequal rules

Look into HR 763

Commentary by Terry Anker For some of us, self-driving cars carry the potential of the future to enjoy the promised benefits of improved traffic flow and safety. Without the peccadillos of our fellow citizens, aren’t we safe to assume that we’d all benefit? Yet, for many of us, the notion of autonomous automobiles represents an Orwellian vision of centralized bureaucratic oppression and of humans being led through life like so many sheep to slaughter, allowed to live only as long as it benefits or amuses our overlords (winking hyperbole intended).

Still, shouldn’t the hope of technology always be measured against the cost to the individual? In a collective world, what can we call our own? The popular cellphone application Waze identifies the most efficient path, in real time, for daily commuters. Some government bodies are debating blocking the app, claiming it moves folks from the major thoroughfares to streets not designed for the load. One can surmise the logic to be that any one of us being late for work mustn’t interfere with the flow of all others. Exceptional behavior is not good, it is abhorrent and must be prevented.

In that thinking, autonomous vehicles may offer the solution. All movement could be monitored and controlled centrally. But what of the bureaucrat late for her daughter’s wedding? Would the rules apply?

Orwell said, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

And the winners are …

Commentary by Danielle Wilson It’s movie awards season, people, and as my gift to you, I’d like to share my selections for the HUMOR 2020 Wilson Awards, which recognize and celebrate outstanding performances in life by my talented children. Enjoy!

For Best Actress in a Comedy, the obvious winner is Corinne. No surprises here, as she killed in the hilarious trilogy, “Color Guard” during her early career. Her penchant for accents, showcased so brilliantly in 2019’s “While Yorkshire Bemuses Love and Lass,” has cemented Corinne’s legacy among the greats. Friends, meet Lucille Ball 2.0!

For Best Actress in a Drama, the Wilson goes to ... Maddie! We’ve seen her in several amazing films through the years, but nothing compares to her haunting portrayal of a baby sister wronged by her older siblings upon their offensive return from college in “They’re Back.” She has truly perfected the arts of eye-rolling and door-slamming. Bravo!

For Best Director in a Foreign Film, the academy is honoring Andrew for “Angst,” his brooding exposé of a long-distance relationship between an aspiring American artist and a French foreign-exchange student.

Beautifully shot in black and white, the film highlights Andrew’s gift for storytelling, even though the viewer is never certain of what is actually happening. C’est magnifique!

And finally, the Award for Best Sound, for the 15th consecutive year, goes to Geoffrey for his soaring opus “Always Loud.” This vocal genius continues to bring the volume with every minute of screen time. I don’t know how he does it, but Geoffrey is a perpetual, literal force of eardrum-busting nature. Kudos, kid.

There you have it, the 2020 Wilsons.

Peace out.

Editor, I would like to encourage anyone reading this to educate yourself on HR 763, commonly referred to as the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. This bill took over a decade to create and is bipartisan. Meaning Democratic and Republican lawmakers worked together to draft the bill.

I support it because it is effective, good for the people and the economy and it is also revenue neutral. This policy will reduce emissions, improve health, save lives and, if passed the way it is currently written, will put money back into people’s pockets.

The government will not keep fees collected by the dividend tax. Also, it has the potential to create jobs across our state and nation. This bill is another step to drive down our own carbon pollution and a serious step to combat climate change. We owe it to our children to at least try to combat this man-made threat to our very own existence. For more, visit energyinnovationact.org. If you support HR 763, contact Congresswoman Susan Brooks and Senators Mike Braun and Todd Young in Washington, D.C. Ken Tucker, Westfield

Remedies for overseas travel Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife is planning our 40th anniversary vacation to Iceland. She anticipates all potential HUMOR problems. That’s why she made me reread an article from Prevention magazine, which scared me so much I wanted to cancel our 25th anniversary trip to Germany.

Traveler’s gastrointestinal disorder: Seven out of 10 travelers experience this. No wonder requests for aisle seats outnumber those for window seats on most overseas flights.

An infectious disease specialist suggests you pack a drug called bismuth subsalicylate, but just say Pepto Bismol to the foreign druggist. You really haven’t got a lot of time to mess with the scientific pronunciation. The doctor says to not drink tap water or eat local fruits and vegetables that may be contaminated.

Constipation: A different doctor (medicine is getting really specialized) says 4 out of 10 travelers suffer from

2-14 Valentines Day!

this disorder. Wait a second: 7 out of 10 have the first problem and 4 of 10 have the other problem? That means somebody has both problems ... or neither? Clearly, those 4 out of 10 people don’t need an aisle seat. This physician suggests eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Seriously, do these doctors ever talk to each other?

Blood clots: This cheery section recommends airplane passengers stand up often and stretch, and to “get an aisle seat.” Sadly, most of those seats are being taken by youknow-who. If you end up with the middle seat, you better hope the guy in the aisle seat isn’t sitting there much of the time, which come to think of it, he won’t be.

Motion sickness: Once again, an aisle seat is recommended, but hurry — those are going fast.

Back pain: “When people lift bags into the top compartment, many swing them in a way that can cause harm,” an orthopedic surgeon said.

On our trip to Ireland, I decked a

man and half his family with a poorly timed toss of my duffle bag into the overhead. The doctor advises holding your bags close to your body. Good advice, especially in the New York and Amsterdam airports.

An accompanying full-color photo shows travel drugs neatly packed into a smart-looking designer carry-on.

There’s Miralax, Ricola, Dramamine, Pepto Bismol and Benadryl — a visual representation of everything that can potentially ruin your trip. The magazine warns against purchasing overthe-counter products overseas where they are often counterfeit. You’ll probably end up having to buy them there, anyway. Once the TSA agent here in Indy sees that stash in your bag, you’ll be lucky to still have your 2-ounce bottle of shampoo.

Cryptocurrency risks – With cryptocurrencies continuing to attract headlines, Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson wants to remind Hoosiers to be cautious about such investments. Common cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. Unlike traditional currency, these have no physical form and are not backed by tangible assets. They are not insured or controlled by any central authority and are subject to very little regulation. As a result, the potential for fraud is high. To learn more, visit indianamoneywise.com.

Third-graders help nonprofit

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com A third-grade class at Fishers Elementary recently raised money for New Life GIVING BACK with Limbs, an organization that adresses the physical and spiritual needs of amputees.

School nurse Darcy Hehner has known Katie Richmond, a local woman involved in the New Life with Limbs organization, for several years.

Richmond is working to take more than 200 prosthetics to Sierra Leone in Africa.

When she had lunch with thirdgrade teacher Stephanie Jones, the two talked about the organization and Jones brought it up with her class.

Jones’ class raised approximately $700 by making Christmas ornaments, snow globes and coasters and selling them at a school craft show.

with my class because the No. 1 thing I want my kids walking away with is to help others and be kind to everyone, to be good people,” Jones said.

“I also have a daughter with special needs. We aren’t sure if she will ever be able to walk. If someone could give her that life-changing gift of being able to walk, I would be beyond thankful.”

Richmond brought prosthetics into the class so students could see and touch them before the fundraiser. One prosthetic costs approximately $500 to make.

On the town: 2 top county date spots

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

editorial@youarecurrent.com

Several businesses have come up with creative ways for couples to celebrate VALENTINE’S DAY Valentine’s Day. Nickel Plate Express is offering a train ride experience, Blackhawk Winery is offering a wine and cheese and chocolate pairing experience and many restaurants are taking reservations.

NICKEL PLATE EXPRESS Instead of sitting down for dinner in a restaurant, some couples may want to travel through the northern parts of Hamilton County while enjoying wine or beer. The Nickel Plate Express is offering several different experiences for Valentine’s Day weekend that adults and younger members of their family can enjoy.

“It’s kind of different than going out to eat at a normal restaurant,” Director Dagny Zupin said.

On Feb. 14, the train will offer an Uncorked Express at 6 p.m. The 21-and-over event includes a 90-minute ride through the county while adults sample three wines and a cheese platter. A cash bar will be available. The train boards at Forest Park in Noblesville and travels through Cicero before returning to Forest Park. Tickets start at $40.

The Uncorked Express also will be offered at 2:30 p.m. Feb. 16.

On Feb. 15, there will be a beer

and chocolate pairing called Ales and Rails. The 21-and-over trip is at 1 and 4 p.m. Couples will board in Forest Park in Noblesville and enjoy a 90-minute ride through Hamilton County while sampling three beers from Metazoa Brewing and three chocolate pairings. Tickets start at $40.

On Feb. 16, a family friendly Valentine’s Brunch will be offered at 11 a.m. Tickets start at $25.

For more or to purchase tickets, visit nickelplateexpress.com.

BLACKHAWK WINERY For those wanting a wine experience on Valentine’s Day, a cheese, chocolate and wine pairing will be offered from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 14 at Blackhawk Winery, 28153 Ditch Rd., Sheridan.

“We do a series of classes out here we call pairings, and when we looked and saw Valentine’s Day was on a Friday, we decided we are doing a wine, cheese and chocolate tasting event,” owner Deb Miller said. “It will be a guided tasting, and we will have a selection of cheese and a selection of chocolate, and then we play with all the different tastes. You learn how to approach tasting wine, how to use all your different senses to taste and then mix those different things to see.”

Cost is $30 per person and includes all wine, cheese, chocolate and the educational aspect. There will be five to eight different chocolates and cheeses, and at least one wine sample with each.

For more or to reserve a spot, visit blackhawkwinery.com.

ROMANTIC RESTAURANT OPTIONS For those looking for a more traditional, romantic Valentine’s Day dinner, restaurants in the county already are accepting reservations. Below is a list of some of the most romantic restaurants in the county and how to reserve a spot.

IRT presents civil rights play

The Italian House on Park 219 Park St., Westfield Menu: A regular menu with Italian options and some new chef-selected specials For reservations: opentable.com

Anthony’s Chophouse 201 W. Main St., Carmel Menu: Regular dinner menu with steakhouse selections For reservations: 317-740-0900

The Rail 211 Park St., Westfield Menu: A special menu is normally served on Valentine’s Day, but it has not yet been announced For reservations: 317-804-8555

The Indiana Repertory Theatre will present Christopher Paul Curtis’ award-winning youth historical fiction novel, “The Watsons Go To Birmingham — 1963.”

Adapted by playwright Cheryl L. West, the civil rights-era family drama will run Feb. 1 to March 1 on the IRT Upperstage. Set in the 1960s on the edge of the actual historical tragedy of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, the story follows a fictional African American family as they travel from Michigan through the Deep South, where they end up navigating the prejudice and violence encountered by black people in Jim Crow America. Told through the perspectives of the three young children, the multigenerational story looks at family love and is a moving exploration of the effects of racism on youth and communities.

Noblesville — Kristi Rowe will perform at 7 p.m. Jan. 31 at Nickel Plate Arts, 107 S. 8th St. Westfield — Uncorked with Sean Moore is set for 7 p.m. Feb. 1 at Urban Vines Winery & Brewery, 303 E. 161st St. Carmel — Brian Koning will perform at 7 p.m. Feb. 1 at Sugar Creek Winery, 1111 W.

55 AND BETTER Winter 2020

aby boomers may have grown up in an era of meat and potatoes, but Market District Food and Beverage Manager Rick Hopkins said people 55 and older should try to eat colorfully.

“We are using a term called ‘eat colorfully,’” Hopkins said. “So, if you think about vegetables, the fruits, the blueberries, the raspberries, the things that add some of the most color to your plates are some of the better foods for you.

“Whether that means they’re high in antioxidants or beta carotenes or proteins and minerals, you’re looking for smaller portions and larger variety.”

Hopkins said having a larger variety will satisfy longer than a big portion of Market District sells ready-to-create bowls for steak and potatoes. those new to cooking in a healthy manner. (Photo “Most of us (55

by Anna Skinner) and older) grew up in the ‘clean plate club,’ and it was drilled into us, ‘Don’t leave the table until you finish everything on your plate,’” Hopkins said. “That causes us to gain weight, so you have to break some old habits.”

Hopkins has some quick and easy tips for adding color to meals.

“I like my salads to include mint and dill. A little bit of mint and dill in salads makes a big difference,” he said. “For lettuce, I include fresh basil and arugula for a peppery-bitter combination. Some people say avoid iceberg lettuce at all costs, but most of us grew up with iceberg lettuce, but a salad with just iceberg is boring these days. Add a crunch of kale and the pepper of arugula and mint.”

Another key ingredient Hopkins recommends is lemon. “Have lemon in your refrigerator all the time,” he said. “Lemon zest, lemon juice. If you don’t have lemon in your refrigerator, you are missing a key ingredient that can go in so many things. Acidity is what makes everything else in the dish pop. I think people are afraid of that from time to time, but experiment with just the basics of a squeeze of lemon or add a little bit of lemon zest to something, and you’ll be amazed at how much more powerful it becomes.”

In addition to a colorful plate, Hopkins encourages more plantbased proteins like chickpeas and lentils. He also said fats are not the enemy.

“Fats should just be regulated,” he said. “But healthier fats like avocados, oils, nuts and olives add such a huge impact to your dishes, and your body is built to consume it.”

For those people who don’t enjoy cooking, Hopkins said the Carmel store sells ready-to-create bowls that include all the ingredients needed to make a healthy dish for two.

“It’s both convenience as well as healthful products, and they’re portioned and prepared here in the store, so it allows you to follow a good diet and would be user-friendly,” Hopkins said.

Serving clients with compassion and holistic legal guidance is our passion.

Guidance for life care planning Commentary by Carol Applegate

T

his month marks the twoyear anniversary of the death of my mother, and March will mark the 11th year since my father passed away. As a nurse and an elder law attorney, I was able to navigate through the difficult process of their aging perhaps a little easier than some.

But as I reflect on those years, I realize the emotional challenges were much more difficult than the legal issues. The questions that arose were: When was it time to say they could not drive? Or how could I assure them they would have enough money to pay for their own care even though I knew they were running short? Those decisions, filled with many mixed emotions, were the most difficult and gave me countless sleepless nights.

As I developed my elder law practice, I realized that legal documents or a Medicaid application were only a small part of giving assistance to families that were traveling this journey. Providing proper care, meeting the physical needs of a loved one, keeping the loved one involved in decision making, and giving assistance to caregivers were the areas where families needed the most help. To assist with these issues, I developed the practice area of life care planning. It was designed to give guidance, support, and advocacy to those families who needed help along the aging continuum.

Life care planning, which is offered at Applegate and Dillman Elder Law, focuses on giving families the action plan that they need to make care decisions for their loved one.

armel Travel Company owner Melisa Keiser has seen a major trend in multigenerational family vacations becoming more popular.

Carmel resident Leah Crowley’s mother, Rosemary Framburg, wanted to take her three daughters and their families on such a trip.

“She is 85 and wanted to gather all 16 of us together on a cruise to head to Europe to have a fabulous family travel memory before it was too late to travel,” Crowley said.

“We started in Venice and headed to Croatia and then to Greece. It was a trip of a lifetime. Part of the KEISER extreme joy was in the planning and anticipation. The other half was in the actual trip. We truly had the best time together. A cruise was super-relaxing because we did not have to take time to figure out the dinner bills, etc.

“There were shore excursions that were all prepaid and meals, drinks and evening entertainment.

It was a fabulous time for all the generations to come together.”

Keiser said sometimes an older family member is celebrating a retirement, an anniversary or

children’s graduations.

“Sometimes, multigenerational vacation and milestone vacations go hand in hand,” she said. “I tend to find the grandparents, who are the people with the money and the time, are the ones who plan those trips.”

Keiser said in the case of a multigenerational vacation, it wouldn’t necessarily be an escorted tour.

Although it’s not necessarily the case with the multigenerational vacations, there might be a tendency for couples who are 55 and older to travel more on group tours “They don’t want the responsibility of planning everything themselves or want the responsibility of getting from place to place on their own,” Keiser said. “They like the camaraderie of the group as well.”

Keiser said river cruises are popular among older adults.

“River cruises are mostly in Europe, but we do have a couple of river cruises in the United States,” Keiser said. “That’s a great trip for older adults because maybe they’ve already done ocean cruises.

They can see some of the internal parts of a country like France. You don’t have to pack and unpack for a whole week. Your cruise ship is your floating hotel. It’s all inclusive.”

Navigating the health insurance world

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com

N

avigating the health insurance industry can be a stressful hassle at any age, but as people grow older, they face higher premiums and, when they turn 65, they must navigate the world of Medicare.

Senior market specialist Mark Howard with Wharton Insurance and Financial Services in Carmel said that an independent broker can help lower the stress when it comes to health care.

“Ultimately, you don’t need to master this information yourself. Get yourself a good independent broker and work with that person to get where you HOWARD need to be,” Howard said.

Just like marketplace insurance or group insurance, there are countless variations of Medicare and supplemental coverage depending on each person’s needs. Howard said working with an independent broker shouldn’t cost anything and benefits the individual in the long run.

“It’s really crazy to try to do it yourself because a good insurance broker doesn’t cost you anything,” Howard said.

Howard also stressed the importance of finding an independent broker who isn’t associated with certain companies.

“We get paid by insurance companies to help you,” Howard said.

“There are some legitimate insurance advisors or consultants out there, but it’s not worth the money.”

For those nearing Medicare age, Howard said four months before turning 65, or sooner, is the best time to sit down with a broker to discuss Medicare options.

“We are glad to do it anytime with anybody or their parents, even someone planning years down the road,” he said. “I get some people 62 years old coming in. Anybody who wants to meet and talk about it, we are glad to meet and educate them.”

Howard said if someone soon will turn 65 and still is working, it can be beneficial to switch from group insurance to Medicare.

“Sometimes, it’s better to leave the group plan when still working and go to Medicare,” he said. “It can have a better price and coverage than the group plan, and it’s a good percentage (of people).

It should be analyzed and reviewed, and don’t take for granted that your group plan is better. Most people think their group plan is better, but the smart ones do the review.”

As marketplace insurance becomes more expensive the older someone gets, Medicare will always be a better option, Howard said. He said he also can assist those still requiring marketplace insurance before they are eligible for Medicare.

“Marketplace goes way up (the older someone gets), but it can be offset by tax credits based on income. But if your income is over the threshold, it’s expensive,” said Howard, noting that the income threshold varies depending on how many people need coverage.

“That’s a good reason for someone to call us (to navigate tax credits),” Howard said.

Howard said Medicare is an overall sound deal.

“It’s probably the best coverage they’ve had in a long time for a good price,” Howard said.

ancy Jones has a simple ambition.

“Our goal is we want to be the oldest sibling scuba divers,” said Jones, vice president of sales and marketing with BHI Senior Living.

Jones, 61, became certified to scuba dive when she was 36.

“It didn’t come that easily for me with the first class, and then it took off,” she said.

“I’ve got about 900 dives in my lifetime.”

Jones’ brother, Russ Nelson, 59, from Johnson City, Tenn., began joining her on diving adventures four years ago after becoming certified at 55.

“I would have been happy to dive before that, but there was limited time, limited vacation,” Nelson said. “There was a lot of kid stuff. She had more time to dive. She was my hero with this diving stuff. I just got to snorkel once in a while. Once the kids got through college, I had a little more time and a little more money. That started the adventure.”

Nelson’s passion for downhill skiing also took up some of his vacation time. His sister was a skier as well.

“I used to ski all the time, but the diving took precedence,” Jones said. “It’s hard for me to contemplate going anywhere without diving.”

The siblings’ first trip together was a week in the Bahamas on a diving sailboat.

“Since then, we’ve done about 100 dives together,” Nelson said. “It’s just been a great experience to be able to do something a lot people don’t get to do and to do it with your sister.”

Nelson said a lot of people on the diving trips are in the same age range.

“They have the time and resources and they want to stay active,” he said.

The last trip the siblings took was to

Egypt and the Red Sea in October 2019.

“So far, we’ve been to the Caribbean and Egypt together,” Jones said.

On one dive about 20 miles outside of Nassau, the siblings ended up in a shark migration area.

“We had about 200 or 300 sharks swirling around in a vertical cave shaft,” Nelson said.

Jones said it was an incredible experience.

“It’s like the sky was full of sharks,” she

said. “I’m not really worried about sharks.

Most people are worried about looking delicious and you are really not delicious. It takes away fear when you learn these sharks aren’t out to eat you. You don’t look like food or a moray eel.”

Jones said it does take some physical fitness to dive.

“Some of the dives are a lot easier than others,” she said. “Some of the Bahamas diving is easy, gentle diving. People go

in what I do diving than I ever used to be,” Jones said. “I’ll sit out a dive or two if I need to. The nitrogen builds up in your system.

For people who are thinking about it, start slowly.”

Nelson recommends beginning divers start with swimming pool work.

“It’s a very safe environment and you learn with breathing under water and how to deal with your mask,” Nelson said.

Nelson said he had a dive master in Jamaica who was 85.

“You can dive well into your 80s,” Nelson said.

Nelson loves the majestic views of skiing and scuba diving.

“On this trip to Florida, a guy on the boat with us, who was a Christian, said, ‘To me, diving is getting to see God show off,’” Nelson said. “Underwater, there is an incredible amount of life happening at one time. If I had to pick one (skiing or scuba diving), I’d say scuba diving now.”

The adventurous siblings also ran the Chicago Marathon together in 1999.

“That was a mid-life crisis,” said Nelson, laughing. “I only run now if someone is chasing me.”

retired oral surgeon and University of Connecticut associate professor, Dr. Mike Goupil, 74, conducted his own national search for a place to enjoy his retirement. He found a home at Rose Senior Living Community in Carmel about 18 months ago.

“I was looking for a senior retirement community and I looked from coast to coast,” he said. “Camel met most of the things that I was looking for, and as it happens, my son lives in Carmel, too. That wasn’t the reason. It was because I found a community that met my needs and I love it. That was icing on the cake that my son, Brad, and his family were here.”

What is your background?

GOUPIL I was an oral surgeon and retired from the Air Force 23 years ago in 1992. I then taught and was an administrator at the University of Connecticut. I went partial retirement for two years and then totally retired two years ago.

What made this community special?

I wanted a walkable community. When I retired, I wanted a place where I could walk to stores and restaurants and a safe community where you could walk in the evening and not have to worry.

Carmel is a very safe area. I love the Monon Trail. That was a factor because I’m a bike rider. I just have to walk a mile-and-a-half to the Arts & Design District. I can go there, have a cup of coffee and come home. I still drive a lot, but I wanted a place where I didn’t have to drive if I didn’t want to.

What are your favorite pastimes?

Reading is one my favorite things. I paint and ride a bike. I’m a volunteer at the Center for the Performing Arts as well as my church (St. Christoper Episcopal Church). I’m an usher at The Tarkington or Studio Theater (usually once or twice a month). I signed up as soon as I got here. I took an art appreciation class at Ivy Tech in Noblesville. I’m starting an intro to philosophy course now.

How many children do you have?

I have three children and four grandchildren, including a 5-yearold granddaughter who lives in Carmel. My son, Stephan, lives in Massachusetts just outside of Boston, and my daughter, Kristina, is in Phoenix. I travel a lot. That’s my favorite thing to do is travel. I fly out to see them. Stephan has been here twice and my daughter once. I did a national parks tour last fall.

Do you have a favorite thing to do at the Center for Performing Arts?

I like plays and concerts. I really enjoy the Center. I volunteer there but I also see other performances. I also go downtown in Indianapolis, but for the most part, Carmel has everything I want.

Do you have activities you enjoy in the Rose community?

We see movies and play cards. They have outings. We went to the light show at the Fairgrounds. Everyone is very friendly, not just here but the people I meet in Carmel itself. It’s a very friendly community.

r. David Sullivan of Westfield Foot and Ankle, 16411 Southpark Dr., sees lots of foot ailments, but there are several that occur more frequently when people reach their 50s, 60s and 70s.

“I would say the most common thing I see, painwise, in any group, is plantar fasciitis,” Sullivan said. “I also see it in the SULLIVAN 55-plus crowd quite a bit because some of them may have retired from jobs where they’re on their feet, and they come home and they’re not on their feet so much, then they get excited about a workout or being on their feet and all of a sudden, they get foot pain.”

Another common issue as patients age is arthritis.

“Arthritis, of course, comes with age. That’s wear and tear and gravity and arch collapse leading to joint pain in the foot,” Sullivan said. “Other issues of pain are in the ball of the foot where the toes attach to the foot. There’s padding there, and with time and abuse and age, that fat pad wears out, so it becomes a painful condition where it feels like walking on skin and bone.”

For prevention, Sullivan suggests buying shoes with firmer soles or using inserts, and also shoes that fit properly because sometimes a shoe size may increase as someone grows older.

To help prevent plantar fasciitis, Sullivan suggests calf stretching.

Theater stages Bible play

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com What if God wanted a do-over?

That’s the premise of Collin Moore’s play “In the BePRODUCTION ginning …,” which premieres Jan. 30 and runs through Feb. 15 at the Mud Creek Theater in Indianapolis.

Moore has been involved with Mud Creek Players for several years.

Moore, a Lawrence resident, has writMoore ten several one-act plays but this is his first full-length production.

“It’s a light satirical look at the main books of the Old Testament,” said Moore, who took two years to write the play. “Everyone touts what is in the Bible, but nobody knows exactly, so I make up my own version to a certain extent. The happenstances

are all still there. All the people are still there, but I have a slightly different slant on it as far as God goes.

“Instead of God creating the world on purpose, it’s all an accident, so God spends most of the rest of the play trying to put the Genie back in the bottle because he/she/it likes the quiet and darkness. Now, it’s loud and noisy.”

Moore said he learned later there was a movement after World War II called processed theology, which proposes God was really learning as opposed Ganz to being omniscient.

Fishers resident Jay Ganz is directing the show.

“About six months after he started writing, Collin asked me if I would direct, and I said I wanted to read it first,” Ganz said. “I did and said we have to do this play. It was very funny. It was treated well with both respect and satire.”

The steak and egg burger is on the secret menu at Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream in Carmel. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 210 W. Main St., Carmel What to get: Steak and egg burger Price: $12.40 Anna’s take: During my visit to Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream in Carmel, I was tempted to try the Big Ugly because I am not one to turn down a challenge. However, I decided against it and ordered the steak and egg burger.

You won’t see the steak and egg burger on the menu because the restaurant has a list of specials on its “secret menu.” Servers provide it when they greet you. I went with

the quarter-pound burger with elk meat, which is 75 percent leaner than beef and is higher in protein – a good choice for health-conscious eaters. It’s topped with an over-easy egg and your choice of cheese (I chose pepper jack).

Lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles are served on the side. I ordered a side of jalapenos to add a little bit of kick. Get a side of the sweet potato waffle fries and ask for the marshmallow dipping sauce. It’s sort of like the fries dipped in a Frosty trend with a sweet and savory combination. The Creole mayonnaise is a good dipping sauce as well.

Bub’s also has a location in Zionsville.

Suggested pairings: A malted milkshake ($5.95 to $6.95) pairs with a burger deliciously well, and Bub’s has a long list of ice cream flavors for shake combinations.

Behind bars: Sazerac Get it at 1205 Distillery, 636 Virginia Ave., Indianapolis. Coming soon to Westfield Ingredients: 2 oz. 1205 Rye Whiskey, .5 oz. simple syrup, two dashes angostura bitters, two dashes Peychaud’s bitters, lemon swath Directions: Stir ingredients with ice and strain into an absinthe-misted glass. Garnish with lemon swath.

Blueprint for Improvement: Cozy den in Meridian-Kessler Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

THE SOLUTION

After

1. Custom built-in shelving provides generous storage space for books, trinkets – even a spot for the TV – without the bulkiness of a freestanding entertainment center. The room remains open and inviting thanks to the floor-toceiling shelving.

2. The original hardwood flooring was repaired and refinished.

3. The hearth and millwork around the fireplace was preserved and restored.

4. The homeowners added upholstered benches in front of the fireplace for additional seating; they’re easily repositioned to accommodate a fire on chilly days.

THE CHALLENGE The last of our three-part series on this Meridian-Kessler Cape Cod, built in 1935. The living room was made smaller after the wall in the adjoining bedroom was moved to create new closets. The owners wanted the room to feel cozy and inviting.

Tom Roush Mazda THE 2020 MAZDA CX-30 LEASE FOR $215/MO FOR 36 MONTHS Vineyard near Cape Town, South Africa. (Photo by Don Knebel)

History of South Africa’s wine country Commentary by Don Knebel Cape Town, South Africa, is worth a trip all by itself. And no trip to Cape Town is complete withTRAVEL out at least a day trip to the nearby wine country.

In 1652, the Dutch East India Co. established a supply station on the southwest tip of Africa to service its ships traveling to and from India.

Within a few years, the governor of what became known as Cape Town planted white and red muscatel grapes to produce wine for the sailors. The first wine was produced in 1659. In 1865, the subsequent governor, Simon van der Stel, purchased a 1,900-acre estate just south of Cape Town he named Constantia. Much of the estate was devoted to the production of wine grapes. In 1679, van der Stel established the nearby town of Stellenbosch (“Stel’s Bush”).

In the 1690s, Huguenot refugees from France settled in Stellenbosch and began planting grapes, which they turned into wine. Because of the Huguenots’ superior wine-making skills, their wines were very popular and Stellenbosch became the center of

the South African wine industry.

Today, about 300,000 South Africans are engaged in the production of grapes and wine. The areas near Cape Town produce more than 3 percent of the world’s wines, making South Africa the ninth- or 10th-largest wine producer in the world. Two towns within an hour of Cape Town are famous both for their wines and for their unique characters. Stellenbosch is known as the “town of oaks” because of its many oak trees, planted by the original settlers for producing wine barrels and furniture. Stellenbosch retains much of its Dutch character and includes about 200 wineries, producing some of South Africa’s best wines. Nearby Franschhoek (“French Quarter”), settled by the Huguenots in 1688, has retained its French character and is considered the culinary capital of the entire Cape area.
