City adds tool to collect debts Compiled by Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel City Council met Sept. 21 to discuss a debt collection program, a relocation of city court and vehicle weight restrictions, among other matters.

What happened: The council approved a resolution authorizing the city to participate in the Indiana Debt Set-Off Program.

What it means: The program allows the city to collect monies owed from individual debtors through their state tax refund. Benjamin Legge, the city’s assistant corporation counsel, told the council the program is expected to save time and money for the city’s legal department, which often goes to court in attempts to collect debts such as utility bills and damaged city property. Debtors are permitted to go through an appeals process.

What’s next: The only cost to the city will be to send letters to debtors.

What happened: The council approved a relocation of the city court.

What it means: City court is moving from the second floor of City Hall to a space in the 400 block of Gradle Drive. The move will provide more space for social distancing in court and provide more space for employees in City Hall to spread out. It also will have improved security features.

What’s next: The court is expected to remain on Gradle Drive until it can be moved into an expansion of the Carmel Police Dept. headquarters. A timeline has not been set.

What happened: The council approved an ordinance adding vehicle weight restrictions to certain streets.

What it means: No vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,501 pounds or more will be permitted on E. Smoky Row Road from Keystone Parkway to Gray Road, Main Street from Keystone Parkway to River Road, 126th street from Keystone Parkway to River Road, Carmel Drive from Keystone Parkway to 126th Street, 116th Street from Keystone Parkway to the city’s east boundary, 106th Street from Keystone Parkway to Gray Road, and Cherry Creek Boulevard from Hazel Dell Road to River Road. Exceptions include local deliveries, trash removal and recreational vehicles.

What’s next: Restrictions on Hazel Dell Parkway were removed from the list, but councilor Sue Finkam said she plans to propose another amendment to add it back in. “By not allowing Hazel Dell into this we’re effectively creating a truck route on Hazel Dell Parkway,” she said.

For Park Tudor School junior Vanessa Xiao, the ability to work well together made the difference for ACHIEVEMENT Team BrightLight.

Team BrightLight recently was named the winner of the Health & Science Innovations’ IDEAA Challenge 2020, earning $3,000. Xiao was one of three Carmel residents on the team. The others were Xiao Carmel High School senior Zoha Aziz and University High School junior Aisha Kokan. The fourth member was Fishers resident and Hamilton Southeastern senior Nikhil Datar.

The IDEAA Challenge is Aziz a prototyping competition for Indiana high school students. Teams work to find a solution to a specific challenge using concepts of design, engineering, automation, mechatronics, coding and research. The Kokan 2020 challenge was to design a Mars rover charging station using renewable energy. Team BrightLight presented its design to 30 peers and industry professionals. Team members proposed a way to wirelessly charge rovers using electromagnetic induction and energy captured from wind, as opposed to the current rover charging methods that are clunky and easily rendered unusable.

“Through a lot of hard work and dedication, we created a final product we were all proud of,” Xiao said.

Team members met at the HSI summer camp Young Innovators Quest and then came together to form a team.

Kokan said the team managed to overcome the difficulties of communicating despite the restrictions put in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Before the pandemic, we met at the Carmel Clay Public Library,” she said. “When this was no longer possible, we began meeting on Zoom, doing research, discussing ideas and brainstorming solutions together.

He was certainly a great family man to his wife, children and grandchildren but also gave all he had to the youth and families of Carmel and Westfield.

He was President of the Carmel Dads club and gave countless hours to coaching both Pups and recreation football, basketball and baseball, developing and molding young athletes to become responsible adults today.

He also gave his time generously to maintenance work on fields and facilities, the annual Dads Club haunted house, fundraising and refereeing hundreds of Dad's Club basketball, football and baseball games.

He was always about the children, with a personality bigger than life. On one occasion while refereeing a youth basketball game, a fan in the stands continued to yell at Phil's referee partner. Phil blew his

whistle, stopped the game, went up into the stands and sat down next to the man as the crowd, players and coaches looked bewildered.

Phil told him he just wanted to see if the man's view was better than the referee's. Concluding it was not a better view, he suggested softly to the man that he would be ejected with the next word from him. The man never said another word.

That was how Phil conducted his life. His love for working at, helping develop and enjoying The Bridgewater Club in his capacity in sales, homeowner compliance, handling development issues and architectural issues with homeowners was a key factor to the success of that club.

He had an incredible passion and love for the Club and everyone in the Bridgewater, Carmel and Westfield communities.

Yes, Phil was a great man, a great father, husband, grandfather and friend of everyone he met. Our communities and families miss Phil greatly and appreciate all his contributions that helped make our communities what they are today.

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Cleanup Crew aims to plant 10,000 trees in Carmel in the next 10 years, and the community is ENVIRONMENT invited to help place the first saplings in the ground on United Nations World Habitat Day. The 10,000 Trees in Carmel Campaign will launch its mission with the planting of 200 trees from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 5 on the southern edge of the Vera J. Hinshaw Nature Preserve, located along the Monon Greenway north of 96th Street.

Carmel City Councilor Miles Nelson and his daughter, Olivia, founded the Carmel Cleanup Crew in 2019. Both were troubled by global warming and related issues, so they decided to do something to help the environment in their corner of the world.

“We may not be able to solve global warming, but we can certainly pick up a piece of trash and recycle it,” said Miles, the first Democrat to be elected to the Carmel City Council.

“I just wanted to make a difference and show other people that they can make the same difference, no matter the age,” she said.

COVER STORY

A ‘GREAT ESCAPE’ Carmel resident builds personal submersible

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The stay at-home orders in the spring during the COVID-19 pandemic allowed many people a chance to finish projects.

For Carmel resident Steve McQueen, it provided an opportunity to complete a seven-year itch of creating his own personal submarine.

“For me, it was almost a work of art,” McQueen said.

“It’s exciting, first, because I can move into the operational phase. Secondly, I got a finished story that I can share with others. I think it’s a great tool for me to interact with some of the local school systems, some of the technology-based schools and public schools to talk to the kids about STEM-related topics.”

McQueen, 60, has dubbed his submarine “The Great Escape,” paying homage to the title of one of the late-actor Steve McQueen’s most famous movies. He recently took it out for the first time to Eagle Creek Sailing Club, where he has two sailboats. He received permission to do some testing.

Steve McQueen pauses with the submarine he built.

(Submitted photo)

“I didn’t take it off the trailer but we just dunked it under water so I could do a leak test verification,” he said.

GETTING STARTED

In 2012, McQueen purchased a Kittredge K-250 1-man submersible and then began rebuilding, improving and modernizing the hull design.

“This was built from design drawings sold to the public in the 1970s by a retired Navy World War II submarine captain, George Kittredge,” he said. “There are still many in operation today.”

McQueen said people would need to come up for air after an hour or so in the early versions of the submersibles.

“This submersible has 72 hours of life support built in,” McQueen said. “Most of the time you are only out there for two to five hours and you are ready to get some air.”

Approximately 15 years ago, McQueen discovered it was possible to own and operate a personal submarine.

“As an individual with a technical and engineering background, I started considering designs that I could build myself,” he said. “In 2006, I purchased some parts and pieces from an old 1970s research submersible, PC1402.”

USING HIS DEGREE A retired Eli Lilly employee, McQueen has an engineering and technology degree from Purdue University through IUPUI. After graduating from Brownsburg High School in 1978, McQueen spent one year in college in Palm Beach (Fla.) Atlantic University as a marine biology major. He then spent 6 1/2 years in the Navy as an electronics technician. After joining Eli Lilly as an instrumentation technician, he worked his way into becoming an automation engineer.

“I got my degree later in life,” said McQueen, who got his degree at age 49 after going to school part-time for seven years. “It’s nice to have gone to school for something and use it in your profession and your passion.”

McQueen said he enjoys having a project to tinker with as a hobby while putting the principles he learned to use.

Building a submarine involves several different disciplines of engineering, including electrical and mechanical. McQueen works with a group called Interspace Science.

“They’re making their submersibles available in a noncommercial way,” he said. “We’re trying to make the subs available to the scientific community as well as the educational community. I’m looking how I can use it as a tool other than diving because I’m only going to be diving several weeks out of each year.”

McQueen joined an internet-based discussion group called Personal Submersibles Organization (psubs.org). It is comprised of individuals who build and operate their own submersibles.

ON THE ROAD

McQueen said he dove with the same type of submarine he built in the Florida Keys.

“The problem with Florida is, to get into 60 feet of water, you have to go 3 miles off shore because it’s pretty shallow,” he said. “These things are typically towed behind a support boat to get to where they are going to dive.”

McQueen is planning an expedition to the Great Lakes in 2021 to go to Whitefish Point in Michigan, an underwater preserve on Lake Superior.

“There are 20 shipwrecks within 250 feet of the surface, which is in range of this submarine,” he said.

Danville Town Council President Tom Pado shares McQueen’s love of submersibles. Pado wrote a book called “Damn the Pressure, Full Speed Ahead.” Pado and McQueen have had frequent conversations through the years.

“He’s very keen,” Pado said. “He’s diligent and he’s done a really good job on that. He’s very good. He’s very smart.”

Pado said McQueen has the ability and knowledge to build a safe submersible.

Pado was in the submarine service in New London, Conn., and then piloted approximately 20 submarines while working for Smithsonian Research. He has switched to underwater remote-control vehicles during the last 30 years.

ESSAY

LETTER

Rye response

Catholic ties will limit scope of services

Commentary by Terry Anker The news reports are tough. A recent poll of our remaining restaurants holds that, in addition to the many already closed during this pandemic, a full 40 percent more expect to be closed within six months. Some of the more cynical among us might proclaim, “Good. COVID made us stay home and made us drink less.” Well, perhaps. What we know has happened is that we’ve reincarnated Great-Grandmother’s meatloaf recipe, gained a few pounds and learned how to Zoom. But while folks may be drinking less out, we are drinking way more at home.

Meatloaf or homebrew, we’ve shut out a whole sector of friends and neighbors from the fun. While local eateries are desperately working to hang on, spending well into the red to support long-time and struggling workers, we have become expert mixologists (at the very least, we have been working to teach the dog to open the fridge and bring us a beer).

Happily, not everyone has overlooked the problem. Local cigar purveyor Corey Johnston, local radio host Tony Katz and local distiller Nolan Smith have combined their considerable talents to produce a remarkably smooth and complex spirit aimed not only at easing our own strains but working to lift a bit of the burden borne disproportionately by those who used to concoct and deliver the elixirs to us. Recovery Rye delivers $5 of its whiskey-of-the-people price to those who need it most. The Indiana Restaurant & Lodging Association will see to it.

Do we imagine a day when we will routinely gather, in public, to celebrate the big game or the end of a hard day?

Yes. In the meantime, Recovery Rye makes it easy for us to “tip” the servers who so desperately want to survive.

Visit recoveryrye.com to find out how to purchase. Aren’t we still thirsty?

All I had to do was ask Commentary by Danielle Wilson Yes! I’ve done it, friends. I’ve manipulated my way into a second godmother appointment. Here’s the skinny: HUMOR I have 28 nieces and nephews, and thus far, only my twin in California has bequeathed me with the most coveted of all aunt/uncle honors of shepherding her child through this crazy world (by shepherding, I mean Amazoning a birthday gift every September). It’s not really my fault that I’ve only been chosen once; many of my relatives aren’t Catholic or don’t “do” godparents. Also, I’m merely one among many potential worthy adults, with my husband, Doo, having five siblings and me having four. Throw in nine outstanding spouses, and the competition is truly fierce.

And up until this year, I’d believed my hopes of a repeat title to be nonexistent, unless someone decided to go the adoption route (we’re simply getting too old!), But miracle of miracles, one new baby has al-

ready arrived, and another is due in November. Here’s where I focused my attention and formulated a sure-proof plan to sway my youngest sister: A subversive, yet obvious, “Pick me! Pick me!”

I volunteered to drive two hours to her house and paint the nursery! It had been on her to-do list for awhile but managing a 6- and 4-year-old during a pandemic and our dad’s recent passing had gotten in the way. I showed up at her door, cranked that puppy out in three hours, and then casually brought up the decision during dinner. It was almost too easy. Maybe not quite as easy as Amazoning a Harry Potter Lego set to L.A., but … I’m a godmother again!

Peace out.

Editor, As an Indiana licensed social worker, I was delighted when the referendum to provide more therapists and other behavioral health services to the students in Carmel Clay Schools was passed. However, I was very disappointed to read in Current in Carmel that the school board did not listen to the wise words of recent graduate Chris Nardi who tried to point out the difficulty of having awarded a contract to provide those services to an institution which clearly cannot provide many of the services which are most needed by many of our students.

Ascension St. Vincent is a competent provider, and I am sure they would not discriminate against any of our students. However, what the board apparently does not understand is that many problems facing young teens today are associated with the student’s own feelings and views about sexuality. And because of the very strong positions the Catholic Church holds about human sexuality, no young person who has questions or feelings about his or her sexuality will go to a therapist who cannot discuss sexuality outside of marriage.

Running in place Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I run 5 miles a day, but those who have observed me in action question the use of the word “run” and even the HUMOR word “action.” The baby steps I take — as opposed to a long athletic stride — have resulted in some significant mocking. I now wonder whether my plan to win the Mini Marathon should be removed from my bucket list.

Last winter, I joined a nearby gym. My friend Bob took a video of me on the running track and showed it to his wife, Cathy, who commented on how tiny my steps were. She also said I looked like I was tiptoeing through the tulips. Hence my new nickname: Tiny Tim. My wife is now also on my case. Every time I announce that I am going for a little run around the block, she corrects me.

“Dick, you are not running. No one would consider what you do running.”

“OK, OK, I’m jogging.”

“Even that’s a stretch, Dick, although I hate to put the word ‘stretch’ in any conversation about how your legs move when you circle the block.”

My friends Paul and Karen next door always pull up next to me in their car and ask how many steps I’ve completed so far that day. I appreciate the question, but I don’t like it when Paul puts “steps” in air quotes.

Then there’s Eric and Yok. When I see them first thing in the morning, I tell them that I plan to run around the block three times (about 2 miles).

“I hope you are bringing a box lunch,” Eric says. Ha, ha. Very funny.

Meg and Rahul, who live on our cul de sac, have an adorable baby, about 11 months old. When they see me jogging, they steer the stroller so that I am no longer in their son’s view. He will be walking soon, and they want to avoid any poor role models.

I was tired of all the kidding, so I Googled the difference between running, jogging and fast walking.

One site noted that jogging is often the slowest of the three, ranging from 3.5 mph to 5 mph. Mary Ellen didn’t find the information helpful for defining my gait. She suggested that I should Google “running in place.”

A final note: A housefly (the kind you miss with your swatter nine times out of 10) flies at exactly the same speed I walk. I know this because it was part of a TED Talk I listened to while jogging from my front door to my mailbox. Ten minutes well spent.

When they see me jogging, they steer the stroller so that I am no longer in their son’s view. He will be walking soon, and they want to avoid any poor role models.

Design firm moves — Carmel designer Gary Nance recently moved his firm, Gary Nance Design, into space on the second floor of the Indiana Design Center. The commercial and residential architectural firm will offer design services for high-end custom homes. Nance has more than 30 years of residential and commercial design experience. The majority of his business takes him to northern Indiana, northern Michigan and the Carolinas.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com When Howl and Hide launched sales of face masks during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemCOMING SOON ic, its staff noticed a trend.

“We saw data where people were buying, and a lot of the ZIP codes were from Hamilton County,” Howl and Hide Brand Manager Bailey Park said. “We realized a lot of people were buying our face masks not knowing who we are, so we decided to see if we could get these buyers interested in our leather products as well.”

Howl and Hide will open a pop-up store in Clay Terrace at 14390 Clay Terrace Blvd., suite 140. It will have a grand opening Oct. 1 and remain open through December. Park said the leather goods store wants to reach shoppers who might not ordinarily visit its Fountain Square store.

Park said the pop-up store will hire seasonal employees as well as use employees from the downtown location. Six employees will work on a rotating schedule.

Park said the space is approximately

Restaurants still squeezed

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com Although Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb has announced the state entered Stage 5 of its Back on Track reopening PANDEMIC plan on Sept. 26, marking an end to capacity limits in shops, restaurants and other businesses, some restaurant owners said the move won’t make much of an impact.

“It doesn’t really change anything we’re doing,” Donatello’s Italian Restaurant Co-Owner Adam Aasen said. “We never really packed our tables close together pre COVID so we’re not going to see any changes. I guess the biggest thing is people might feel more comfortable going out now that we’re in stage 5.”

Scott Barnes, owner of The Friendly Tavern in Zionsville, had similar thoughts on the change.

“It doesn’t really change anything,” said Scott Barnes, owner of The Friendly Tavern.

“You still have to keep your 6 feet of separation between your tables, so honestly, it doesn’t really change anything at all, at least for our situation.”

Barnes, a restaurant owner for more than 46 years, said because of restrictions on bar areas, where patrons must be seated and spaced at least 6 feet apart, he can’t

bar seating, and he said the pub won’t be able to add additional dining tables indoors because of social distancing restrictions.

Barnes said the pub’s carryout business has helped it during the long stretch of uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Friendly Tavern, which does not have outdoor dining, closed for two weeks in April before resuming carryout orders. He said the success of carryout and the gradual return of in-person diners has allowed the pub to sustain business.

“Just being in the business, it’s hard enough with everything you have to deal with,” Barnes said. “I was hoping it wasn’t going to last this long, that it wouldn’t go all winter, but it looks like it is going to. You feel like you might have control over your business, but right now it doesn’t feel like it. Right now, it feels like you’re kind of just existing. It’s hard to plan too much or do too much. You just don’t know.”

Zionsville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Allyson Gutwein said said restaurants that have capitalized on outdoor dining would likely see less patrons willing to dine outdoors as the weather cools. During that period, she said it is vital to support local businesses.

“I think the biggest thing is that we have to get out and support these local businesses,” Gutwein said.

Schools not worsening spread

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

Welcome, Neha Yakhmi, MD

It’s been more than six weeks since Carmel Clay Schools reopened its classrooms for in-person instruction, PANDEMIC and, so far, it hasn’t led to major COVID-19 outbreaks or significant spread on campus.

As of Sept. 25 CCS has reported 58 confirmed cases at Carmel High School (with 33 cases reported in the first two weeks), four cases in middle schools and seven cases in elementary schools.

Virtual options are available to all students, with in-person elementary students on campus five days a week and students in middle and high school on a hybrid schedule rotating between in-person and virtual instruction.

At the Sept. 14 school board meeting, Supt. Michael Beresford said educators are prepared to pivot to an all-virtual model at a moment’s notice. But he also said the

Riverview Health Physicians Allergy & Immunology is pleased to welcome Neha Yakhmi, MD to the team.

Dr. Yakhmi strives to provide timely, quality care to her patients. She truly believes in the adage, “knowledge is power,” and that education and discussion are just as important as testing and treatment. Dr. Yakhmi listens carefully when her patients tell her their background and why they have decided to come see her, as it is exceptionally vital in a specialty where a patient’s history is the key to a diagnosis.

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy spending time with my family, reading a good book or traveling.

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Yakhmi, call 317.214.5725 or visit riverview.org.

COVID-19 cases in Carmel schools per week.

numbers are positive enough that district officials could consider expanding in-person instruction.

“We’re not seeing a lot of positive COVID cases in the schools,” Beresford said. “It could be a situation where we could bring virtual kids back to school and do school normally, or it could be we stay where we are.”

CCS parents were asked to choose by Sept. 16 whether they want their students to attend in-person or virtually after the first quarter for the remainder of the school year.

Jim Ginder, health education specialist for the Hamilton County Health Dept., said it doesn’t appear that in-person classes are leading to the spread of the disease in the county.

“We’re not seeing COVID being transmitted through the schools,” he said. “It’s usually outside of the school.”

Through contact tracing, health officials have determined that much of the spread is occuring at small events, such as birthday parties, sleepovers and family gatherings. Ginder pointed to state guidelines that recommend creating a social bubble with a few other people but still wearing a mask and social distancing while around them.

He said efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 will be key in fall as cooler weather forces people to spend more time indoors.

“We just don’t have good data about the transmission of COVID inside,” Ginder said.

“That’s why we still want to do the social distancing. If you’re sick, stay home and make sure you’re washing your hands and (wearing a face covering).”

Imagine spending your entire life in a shelter - from puppy-hood to nearly your 2nd birthday. Imagine spending much of that time dealing with a mysterious cold that just wouldn’t go away.

Imagine never having your own family to love or a home to call your own. Well, this has been Taylor’s reality, and we need your help to change it.

An Indiana fall: Spend a day or a weekend in Brown County Commentary by Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com With the first day of fall being Sept. 22, we are all certain to see leaves starting to change to yellows and VACATION reds and experience brisker mornings and cooler evenings. For families that are looking for a fall break trip or just a weekend getaway but are worried about social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, look no further than Brown County.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Hard Truth Hills Tours and Tasting Center and Big Woods’ The Original Restaurant.

Hard Truth Hills offers an ATV tour through its hundreds of acres of property at $45 a person. The tour includes plenty of drinks (Hard Truth Hills staff are eager to say “you drink, we drive”) and a rolling, often bumpy and always exhilarating ride through the woods that stops at Shiner’s Creek, a moonshiner’s camp; Prohibition Point, a speakeasy in the woods; and Beer Bluff, a beautiful swing set-up where patrons can swing with a view overlooking one of Brown County’s beautiful forests.

There are drinks at each stop, and it was an incredibly fun experience. ATV tours can be booked through October, and they fill up quickly, so jump on it. Back at the tasting center, I suggest you take the $15, 25-minute tour of the distillery that includes a three-part tasting of Hard Truth Distilling Co.’s spirits and a Hard Truth Mason jar keepsake. Head distiller Bryan Smith did an excellent job educating me on the processes of making different spirits, and it was an incredibly educational tour.

I also had the chance to visit the distillery’s warehouse, where it ages rye and bourbon. Stepping into the warehouse was an incredible experience, where the smell of swollen, saturated white oak barrels filled the space, and barrels were stacked to the ceiling along both sides. I sampled a young rye whiskey straight from the barrel. Although the tasting part of that tour may not be available to the public, I can

assure you when that rye properly ages, it’ll be terrific.

For dinner, I visited The Original — which is a branch of the Big Woods Restaurant Group but features classy comfort food not on the menu at Big Woods restaurants. At The Original, I sampled deviled eggs with fresh herb-infused filling, smoked paprika, thick-cut bacon and pickled tomatoes ($8); the pimento cheese dip, which was quite possibly my favorite item ever with herb naan bread and smoked paprika ($11); flash-fried Brussels sprouts with a honey sriracha glaze ($9); half of a honey-brined fried chicken with cayenne honey and bread-and-butter pickles ($14); the whiskey burger, which was stacked with a white cheddar-stuffed patty with a whiskey glaze, caramelized onions, garlic aioli and arugula ($15); the Molly’s Garden, which is a wild mushroom strudel with warm Green

Goddess dressing and a root vegetable hash ($13); the peach bourbon crown sugar cobbler ($9); and fried biscuits with a Hard Truth toasted coconut rum butter sauce drizzle and apple butter ($7).

Hard Truth Hills and Big Woods Restaurant Group is an excellent day trip for a couple looking for a romantic and adventurous date or a group of friends looking to have some fun. I only suggest you take a nice, long walk around Nashville’s picturesque downtown shops before driving home after eating all that food.

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 13255 Levinson Lane, Noblesville What to get: Corn empanadas Price: $9 Anna’s take: Livery is a Latin American-inspired restaurant that recently opened its second location in Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville. I tried several items during a soft-opening preview, and I was thoroughly impressed with everything. My favorite item was the corn empanadas, little fried pillows stuffed with truffle, cheddar and corn with a side of jalapeno crema for dipping. I’m still thinking about those empanadas. They were that good. Three empanadas come per order. Another item to try is the picada, a Mexican version of a charcuterie board. At $17, the picada is a great sharable dish that features a spread of pork belly, Serrano ham,

beef short rib, Manchego cheese, whipped goat cheese, quinoa crackers and crostini. It was delectable. For dessert, order the tres leches cake. Trust me.

Suggested pairings: I always enjoy a margarita when I indulge in Latin American food, so check out the Carriage House ($13).

It’s a margarita with Gran Centenario Anejo Tequila, orange brandy, lime and agave.

Ask for the sweet and spicy rim. You’re welcome.

Behind bars: Steam Engine Get it at Big Woods, Noblesville Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Sipes’ Straight Bourbon Whiskey, .75 oz. ginger simple syrup, .5 oz. triple sec, candied ginger Directions: Add all ingredients to an ice-filled bar shaker and cover and shake for 12 seconds, then double strain into a coupe glass.

Luxury bathrooms promote healthy lifestyles Commentary by Randy Sorrell and Bill Bernard Luxury bathrooms have always been appreciated, but perhaps never more than now. An unexpected REMODELING result of COVID-19 is realizing that caring for ourselves and “stopping to smell the roses” is not only important but is a primary component of a healthy lifestyle. It prompts smiles and forwards positive relationships.

This Fishers bathroom was an ‘80s build and had grown a little tired. Family, kids and time had taken its toll on the space and it was time for a refresh. Luxury surfaces and a rich color pallet elevated the space and helped create a retreat for the happy mother.

Retreat components Transitioning your bathroom from great to incredible often includes implementing a series of luxury features that are becoming very approachable. Here are several components: • Nothing says comfort more than heated floors and towel racks. Or how about a heated towel drawer!

of spirit when you spot your stunning image throughout the day.

• Multiple-head showers are already celebrated. I suggest we celebrate them even more and include a steam shower with a built-in bench. And never underestimate the healing powers of an elegant soak tub with powerful jets.

• The luxury influence of color is addressed not only with paint, but vanity colors, tile and fixtures. Color is back in style!

• Details matter. From the architectural lines of the sink faucet to simple vent covers and door hardware, it all influences the feeling of luxury and elevates the self-care experience.

• Join the trend and install a bidet!

Whether your bathroom or kitchen needs a simple refresh or a massive makeover, get ready to elevate how you live and feel about yourself. It makes a difference.

Durango: Railroader enthusiasts’ paradise Commentary by Don Knebel Colorado is home to many historic mining towns. Durango is world famous among those interested in railroading TRAVEL and its history.

In 1870, the Denver & Rio Grande (D&RG) Railway began laying a network of narrow-gauge tracks throughout Colorado, the 3-foot distance between the rails (compared to the standard 4-foot-8 1/2) facilitating sharp turns in the mountains. In 1873, miners discovered gold along the Animas River in southwest Colorado, just north of the border with New Mexico. To support the mining activities, D&RG established a depot along the river at the foot of the San Juan Mountains. A town quickly grew up around the depot, which was organized in 1880 and named Durango after a city in Mexico. In late 1881, D&RG began laying track between Durango and Silverton, a silver and gold mining town, completing the 45 miles through the mountains in only nine months.

In 1981, with mining activities in the area largely discontinued, D&RG sold the stretch from Durango to Silverton, which became known as the Durango & Silverton Narrow

Today, Durango, with a population of about 18,000, is a year-round tourist destination. The D&SNG Railroad owns and operates meticulously restored and maintained steam-powered locomotives, built in the 1920s or earlier. Until service was suspended because of the novel coronavirus, D&SNG Railroad operated daily passenger train runs between Durango and Silverton, passing through the spectacular scenery of the San Juan National Forest. The trains depart from the original depot. A 12,000-squarefoot museum near the depot, open free
