Dickey said with the county’s low unemployment rate, the need for talented employees is broad-based.

“We really want it to be a fun event for everyone involved, even when they’re not playing,” Spillman said. “We want them to stick around in the area. We’ve got a pretty big food print laid out. We’ll have that area closed off for food vendors, and we’ll have a beer garden for the adults. You can have a beverage and have some lunch or dinner while you watch the other games that are going on.”

Knights hold event at Sagamore

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Knights of Columbus will host its 24th annual golf outing event at Noblesville’s Sagamore Golf Club Sept. 6.

In the past 23 years, the outing has raised more than $425,000 for charities.

Six charities will benefit this year. They are Gibault, Little Sisters of the Poor, Birthright International, The Cherish Center, The Lord’s Pantry at Anna’s House and The O’Conner House. Gibault and Little Sisters of the Poor will each receive 30 percent of proceeds.

The remaining 40 percent split between the other four charities.

Knights of Columbus member Jack Wolf said the selections were made largely based on working with some those charities in the past, such as Gibault and Little Sisters of the Poor.

“We try to pick out needy organizations in our local area where maybe some other fellow Knights have contact and volunteer there and know (the charities) are in need of assistance,” Wolf said.

Wolf said this year’s fundraising goal is $20,000. A deli lunch, dinner, contests and

offerings are included in the event. Cost is $180 per golfer or $720 per foursome. Sponsorship opportunities also are available.

Registration will begin at 9 a.m. For more, visit kofc6923.org/activities/golf.

The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic-based family fraternal organization. Other Fishers Knights of Columbus missions include assisting with St. Louis de Montfort Parish in Fishers and Holy Spirit at Geist Parish.

DeVeau’s caters to athletes with special needs

By Renee Larr news@currentinfishers.com Paula Lord has created a unified gymnastics team for gymnastics athletes with special needs and their typical (non-disabled) peers. The DeVeau’s Show Team by GymRoots offers a myriad of benefits for the participants and their families.

The group assembles in September and learns group and individual routines throughout the school year.

“We use all the different pieces of gymnastics and disciplines,” Lord said. “We do tumbling. We do rhythmic gymnastics. We have dance components. We have acrobatic components. We kind of draw on the basic foundations of gymnastics.”

Special needs participants not only develop social skills but also work on developing muscle tone.

“The movement that we’re doing is all designed to stimulate the brain and to stimulate the brain’s development,” Lord said. “So, what we’re seeing is with our kids with autism is that this is the first

thing they’ve been able to do independently. It’s pretty amazing what can happen. I have kids with Down syndrome with really low muscle tone, and through the work that we’re doing, that improves. It just makes them more stable and strong and makes their joints healthier.”

It’s also a fun alternative to physical therapy.

“It’s fun because there is music and dancing,” Lord said. “They’re less inhibited, and it isn’t as drudgery as some therapies can be. The social part is the cool part.

Although there is a cost to participate, Lord tries to ease the financial burden through grants and donations. For more, visit bodybygymroots.com/Services.

Exchange Club launches

By Heather Collins news@currentincarmel.com The National Exchange Club was founded in 1911 to help inspire fundraiser communities to become better places to live.

The national club has 650 local chapters and 20,000 members across the nation. The local chapter, The Exchange Club of Hamilton County, launched in spring of last year.

Fishers resident and immediate past president of the Exchange Club of Hamilton County Kristin Jones said she joined the club to be a part of something greater. The club’s main focus is to raise funds and provide volunteers for nonprofit organizations in the area.

“What is cool about our club is that we can make a difference to a lot of different great organizations in our community,” Jones said.

“We can decide who we want to help and hope it makes the most impact.”

In May, the club hosted a wine-tasting fundraiser at Daniel’s Vineyards to raise funds for Chaucie’s Place, a nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of child sexual abuse and

WWII bombardier vet to see warbird at Northridge event

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The first time World War II United States Army Air Force veteran cover story Welcome Palmeter flew on an airplane was when he spent three months in Sioux City, Iowa after completing basic training. He would then go on to become a bombardier in a B-24 Liberator heavy bomber.

Next month, Palmeter will have the chance to see - and even fly in - another World War II-era aircraft. The 93-year-old is a resident of Northridge Gracious Retirement Living, which is featuring an Ageless Aviation event Sept. 27.

Palmeter flew in a B-24 approximately four years ago, and he may take a plane ride again during Northridge’s event.

“I would be (excited to see it again). I might fly up in this one. I will see what they have,” he said.

Palmeter served from 1943 to 1945. He was discharged on his birthday. During his time in the service, he didn’t serve abroad but his crew did.

“My crew went overseas in May (of 1945) but I didn’t go over to Europe with my crew,” Palmeter said. “They went to Italy, and they had a bombardier on one plane, the lead plane, which had a bombardier (already). And the two planes behind it, the pilots would drop bombs. I didn’t go because I wasn’t on the lead plane, so I stayed in the United States all during the war.”

After Germany surrendered in May 1945, Palmeter continued practicing bombing runs until Japan surrendered in August 1945.

During bombardier training, Palmeter and his crew used the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco as an aiming point, which involved taking photos through the bomb sights during practice runs.

“I would have my bomb sights on it (the bridge) and take a picture for practice,” he said.

Palmeter moved to Northridge almost a year ago. He has a daughter who lives in Indianapolis and three sons. A fourth son died in 2001 due to Agent Orange exposure while serving in the Vietnam war.

For the Ageless Aviation event, North-

ridge will bring residents who served in the military to Tom Wood Aviation in Fishers.

Residents and their spouses will have the opportunity to ride in a World War II-era PT-17 Stearman biplane. Northridge’s chef will attend to provide a meal. Another resident, veteran Mike Schofield, is a musician whose band will play patriotic songs at the event.

For events such as this, owners of old warbirds will bring the planes out to the tarmac for display.

“What sets Northridge apart from any other senior community in the area is that it’s so important to enrich our residents’ lives with events and activities and parties and be able to give back to them,” said Kylie Colson, a marketer with Northridge.

“Specifically with Ageless Aviation, we can give back to (veterans) what they gave to us, especially our veterans and our veteran spouses and that generation of people who made our country what it is today. So to give back to them in this unique way is really the purpose.”

Welcome Palmeter served as a bombardier on a B-24 Liberator heavy bomber during World War II. (Submitted photo)

losing touch with friends After World War II, Palmeter didn’t stay in touch with his nine crew members. He was closer with a bombardier on a different plane, a man named Harry Tilman.

“There was one person on a different plane I was friends with, and he was in Kansas City (after the war),” Palmeter said. “I tried to find him but was never able to find him.”

Tilman and Palmeter were both stationed in Boise, Idaho, and often vacationed together with their families. Palmeter said he was friends with most of his crew members but he never received their addresses and they lost touch after the war.

Risk-taking parenting

o b s e r v ation

Painful truths Commentary by Terry Anker

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Augustine Washington was 47 years old when he confronted his fifth child, George — who would grow up to the become the nation’s first president — about the destruction of a prized fruit tree at their property by the Rappahannock River in eastern Virginia. The youngster hung his head to say, “I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.” Old dad responded, “Noble boy, I would rather lose a thousand trees than have you tell a lie.” Good point.

Some dispute the veracity of the tale while others are comfortable with the hazy facts because of its virtue as a parable of truth over consequence. Indeed, the elder Washington showed both wisdom and restraint in valuing the lesson beyond the material. How better to teach that “honesty is the best policy” than to remember it when injured?

Still, truth, especially the kind that will bring pain to ourselves or others, is rarely an uncomplicated concept. We hold back to conceal our intentions or to protect the feelings of others. Like a child hiding from her brother his toy that she has broken, can we hope to make truth disappear because we hide it? Or, is it still lurking, only awaiting discovery and release? Might we advance honest expression without the hurt? Or, should we come to accept that a bit of distress may be the best thing?

Could direct and uncomfortable conversation be the best path to the least unpleasantness? And if so, can we find a way to only say things we mean – not to only say mean things? How can we navigate the truth and manage hurt feelings at the same time? Compassion is not easily defined. Can too much be more hurtful than too little?

I’m questioning my parenting this week.

I allowed my 17-year-old daughter to go to Chicago for a concert. With a friend whose last name I still don’t know humor and who I couldn’t pick out of a lineup. On the Megabus.

Without being totally positive about where she’d be sleeping.

In fairness to me, my high school senior has never given me reason to mistrust her, and she is fairly street savvy. Punctuality and time management, though, are not her strengths, and she tends to go about life just assuming everything will work out, even if she makes no discernible effort to make it so.

For instance, she didn’t buy her bus ticket until two nights before her departure — and only because I asked her if she had made the purchase. As for her overnight accommodations, she considered a recent Snapchat conversation with her teenage cousin confirmation enough that she had a place to stay. The parents had no idea!

And yet, I let her go. As punishment for my lack of maternal caring, I did suffer through one extremely long night of anxiety driven by thoughts of every possible thing that could go wrong, from not being able to park in downtown Indy to becoming a murder victim off Lake Michigan.

Alas, she survived and had an amazing time, despite — or maybe because of — a few interesting moments, including walking into a house at midnight that turned out not to be her uncle’s. And I suppose I learned a good lesson. You have to let your children take risks, even if it makes you feel like a bad parent.

Peace out.

Getting around Fishers

Editor, My family and I have been residents of Fishers since 2004. Since moving here, we have seen Fishers grow significantly.

With that growth has come more housing, businesses, traffic, congestion and everybody’s favorite - road construction.

Don’t get me wrong, I realize road construction, including the implementation of roundabouts, the widening of lanes and other road improvements, are necessary to a growing city. The way the city implements these projects is what I have some suggestions for.

Having just recently visited the Netherlands for the first time (primarily Amsterdam and Groningen), it was eye-opening how the plans of these cities have incorporated the use of bicycles into the overall transportation infrastructure. With bike lanes adjacent to most major and secondary roadways, the use of bicycles for everyday shopping trips (granted - I’m talking about small trips), commuting to work, going out to eat, meeting up with friends, etc., is relatively simple, quick and safe.

I believe that we are tied to our cars for primary transportation because we

don’t have other options. This has to do with how our city is laid out, where we live and how our roads are planned. We have sidewalks but no designated bike lanes. We do have some sidewalks that can be used for both biking and walking, but a lot of times they don’t connect from one area of the city to another. To make that connection you have to ride on roads with vehicles. I don’t have enough trust in the everyday driver to be careful enough (and pay attention enough) to consciously look out for bicyclists.

In the process of designing our transportation infrastructure for the future, I encourage our road/infrastructure planners to be open to other forms of transportation besides just automobiles.

Look at ways to implement sidewalks and bike paths to connect parts of the city. Besides cutting down on automobile traffic, it could help reduce pollution and even result in personal health benefits (increase in exercise) and set an example for other cities as well. If others have been doing this for decades and decades, why can’t we?

Art of the (garage sale) deal Facebook has received some rough financial reports lately. I’ve endured a few difficult business deals, too — like during humor our garage sale last weekend, when a woman talked me down to 50 cents for a Channel 8 coffee mug. But I realized I had a better day than Mark Zuckerberg by about $70 billion.

One man was asking me questions about an old portable CD player that was marked a lousy dollar.

“Does it work?” he asked.

“Of course, it doesn’t work. It’s a dollar. If it worked, it would be two dollars.”

The most annoying thing was when people whipped around the cul-de-sac, eyeballed our offerings and sped off when disappointed with the selection. Occasionally, someone would shout out what they were searching for: “Got any assault weapons?”

“Any toddler clothing?”

By the way, this was the same person.

Our friends helped us with the sale. Cathy and Bob are experts in getting the highest price for things like an old cable connector, a box of buttons, a back-scratcher, blank VHS

tapes, a dial phone and a six-pack of lawnmower oil. Friends like this don’t come cheap — but the Haversticks are cheap, so they knew exactly what we should charge.

At the end of the weekend, there were three unsold bookshelves. Mary Ellen put an ad on Craigslist saying they were free. Two days later they were still in our driveway.

“Why doesn’t anyone want them?” she asked.

“Who wants something that we’re admitting is worthless? Let’s post an ad saying the shelves are $495 and they can leave us a check under the doormat.”

“Do you think someone will buy them?”

“No, of course not,” I said, “but someone will steal them overnight.”

Bingo. Gone the next morning.

We also still had hundreds of unsold books, which was OK because some of those old favorites would have been tough to part with.

I just wish I had a place to put them.

My Gym Fishers, a children’s fitness center that holds classes anniversary for different age groups, birthday parties and summer camps, recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.

Approximately 150 families came to celebrate the gym’s first 10 years with fitness activities, a dunk tank, free food, vendors and prizes. My Gym Fishers owner Kendall Robinson said the decision to open the gym in March 2008 was an easy one.

“I’ve always been passionate about children, and I was hoping to build a career where I could work with kids of all ages,” Robinson said. “I thought I was going to be a teacher, but when I discovered My Gym, I was fascinated with the opportunity to teach kids healthy habits.”

Although Robinson had to overcome the obstacle of being a small business owner bringing a new type of business to the area, he said having word-of-mouth referrals was key to My Gym’s success.

“My Gym is unlike any other fitness facility in Fishers, which makes it unique,” Rob-

inson said. “We also find that families who take classes at My Gym refer their friends and other family members. Not only do we help build independence and healthy habits in kids, but we offer something that stay-athome parents can enjoy with their children year-round. It’s been wonderful to watch our business grow in such a great community.”

According to Robinson, another key to My Gym’s success is its commitment to excellence. The staff are trained to engage with children in each age group.“Children may not leave feeling like they worked out, but during their class they stretched their bodies, might have worked on a few conditioning exercises and, hopefully, had some fun,” Robinson said.

Koto Steakhouse Opens at Hamilton Town Center

Hamilton Town Center is getting even more delicious! Koto Japanese Steakhouse just opened a new location this August, bringing mouthwatering Asian flavors to the trendy shopping and dining center.

Koto Steakhouse Noblesville is the restaurant’s second Indy area location. The Carmel restaurant, off of 146th street just south of Lowe’s Home Improvement, opened about three years ago. But, owners Ren Yang and Harry Dong wanted to give Noblesville and Fishers a taste to keep them coming back for more. The partners chose Indiana after learning how Indianapolis received high marks for being a great place to raise a family with affordable housing, great schools and good healthcare. Both Indy locations appealed to them since they’re in high traffic areas in trendy shopping centers near popular neighborhoods.

“Indy is a perfect location for a restaurant for guests to come and be a part of a family atmosphere.”

Ren and Harry met each other at the chain’s first location in Richmond, Kentucky. Harry brought with him 20 years in the restaurant business, and Ren almost 20 years. They’d each done just about every job in a restaurant from server to busing, cooking, tending bar and managing. The two decided they could join forces and become successful restauranteurs. So, they opened the Richmond, Kentucky location, and then one in Johnson City, Tennessee. Carmel was built on the success of these two locations, and now they are doing it again in Noblesville.

The new Koto offers the same excel-

lent dining experience as the others. Japanese Hibachi style dining around a grill is the main, popular feature. “There is nothing like having high quality food fresh from the grill at the perfect temperature,” Yang says, “It’s a completely different experience than getting your food from the kitchen. Plus, you can’t beat the entertainment that comes along with it.”

Hibachi cooking is a huge hit especially for kids with the chef’s spatula flipping, knife wielding tricks. But Koto offers a whole range of reasons for diners to choose the restaurant. First on tap is the extensive menu which offers a variety of choices from their sushi and sashimi bar like their Eel Avocado Roll and Spicy Salmon Roll. Choose from tempting soups and salads like Seafood Miso soup or Gyoza soup and Spicy Squid Salad or Salmon and Avocado Salad. In addition to the Hibachi favorites, teriyaki and tempura entrées are available from the kitchen. Both locations offer popular favorites and chef’s special rolls like the Koto Special Roll and Angry Dragon Roll. Ren recommends any hibachi meal, but if you’re going for a teriyaki dish, he highly recommends the Steak Teriyaki Sizzling Plate.

Any dining experience would not be complete without a full bar menu. Koto offers beer and wine selections, as well as cocktail favorites like the Koto Grapefruit Passion, the Koto Sake Cosmo and the Plum Blossom.

Creating a family atmosphere in the restaurant is a priority and both Indy locations offer that. Carmel’s restaurant offers a hibachi patio area with outdoor seating for guests to enjoy their meal while enjoying the fresh air.

Both locations offer a hibachi party room with seating for up to 40 guests for your special occasion. Since Noblesville is Koto’s fourth location, the partners put a lot of thought and planning in to the new restaurant. “We’ve learned a lot from the other locations. So we chose top of the line equipment, we’ve trained staff to give top-notch ser-

(Advertisement)

vice, and we’ve decorated with bright, snappy designs with an ocean theme,” Yang says. Yang and Dong hope customers will notice those features, but they can count on customers noticing a major focal point in the restaurant. “We put in a massive fish tank all along the wall,” Yang says, “No one else has it. It’s unique and it’s filled with colorful tropical fish.”

If you’re not hungry yet, you will be soon. Koto Noblesville will also be offering plenty of specials like the Wednesday Sushi Special and drink specials offered at Carmel, however, they’re hoping to have live entertainment events as well.

For a limited time, Koto is having a gift card promotion. Customers can buy a $100 gift card and receive a $10 bonus, a $200 gift card for a $30 bonus, a $300 gift card for a $50 bonus, and a $500 gift card earns you a $100 bonus.

Look for grand opening event announcements on their webpage, kotonoblesville.com, and visit their Facebook page for the latest updates. Itadakimasu!

Riverview Health Westfield Hospital to Host Open House

Construction of Riverview Health Westfield Hospital nears completion.

WESTFIELD—Located at the northeast corner of U.S. Route 31 and state Route 32, the much-anticipated Riverview Health Westfield Hospital will open in September. The new hospital features the area’s first combined ER and urgent care, which means you only have to go to one place when you’re sick or injured, and you will be guided to the level of care you need.

When the project was announced a few years ago, it was originally intended to be an outpatient center. However, after construction began, it was determined that the city of Westfield needed its own hospital.

Westfield and the surrounding areas have experienced tremendous growth, and as the county hospital, Riverview Health wanted to be able to meet the needs of this growing community.

Riverview Health Westfield Hospital will also house an inpatient unit, surgical suites, a drive-thru pharmacy, laboratory and imaging services, an employer clinic, WorkMed and physician offices. The hospital’s first two floors will open in September. The upper floors will open in phases over the next three to four months.

Open House – Friday, Aug. 31, 3-7 p.m.

Join us for an open house prior to Westfield High School’s home football game. The event will include free tailgate food, giveaways and tours of the new hospital.

A Letter To Our Community When I was considering taking on the role of president and CEO of Riverview Health, an important deciding factor was feeling connected to the community and the people living in it. Though my family and I were residing in northern Indiana at the time, we lived in Carmel from 1998 to 2002, so I was familiar with the Hamilton County area. Once I began talking with the Riverview Health Board of Trustees and others within the organization, I could sense the local roots Riverview Health had in the community—it would be a perfect fit.

With plans for Riverview Health to expand into Westfield already underway, I was excited to be a part of a high-quality healthcare organization that held true to its mission of “improving and preserving the health and well-being of those we serve.” Opening a hospital in Westfield is a direct reflection of this as we meet the growing needs of the community and provide a more convenient location to our friends and neighbors in the area.

After much anticipation, we are thrilled to open our doors to those I call my friends and neighbors. People of Westfield and surrounding areas, this is your hospital. We’re excited to be here and looking forward to caring for you and your families.

Seth Warren, President and CEO, Riverview Health

As I officially became president and CEO of Riverview Health in April 2016, my family and I bought a house in Westfield and immediately began exploring our new community. It didn’t take long for us to feel right at home. We love the restaurants in downtown Westfield and have spent a lot of time out at Grand Park watching our sons play sports.

Meanwhile, I also had the privilege of leading Riverview Health as we finalized our plans for Riverview Health Westfield Hospital. We’ve worked closely with city officials and people in the community to determine what services would have the greatest benefit to those who live here.

No matter the symptoms, Riverview Health has you covered.

Dance is major attraction at Greek Festival

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Kelly Alexiou has been dancing at Indianapolis Greek Festival since she was 8 years old. event It has become a lifelong passion.

Alexiou, 48, has been director of the Greek Dance Program for the past year for the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.

The dance troupes perform each day of the Aug. 24-26 GreekFest at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 3500 W. 106th St., Carmel.

Alexiou, a Fishers resident, has been dancing since the adult program started approximately three years ago. She started teaching when her oldest son, Alex Head, was in fifth grade. She taught both Alex, now 26, and Stephen Head, 23, through high school. She took a break and then returned to teach three years ago.

“We perform at all types of events as long as it is highlighting the Greek culture and community,” Alexiou said.

Alexiou said each group performs between 15 and 20 minutes.

“That leaves time for the members to

dance with it,” she said. “Our church is very much into sharing our Greek culture and heritage with all of the community.

We don’t care what nationality you are or what ethnicity you are. We want everyone to come out and enjoy being Greek for a day. That involves our food and joining us to dance. The majority of Greek dances are dancing in a circle and holding everyone’s hands. The fun thing is that we get to share our culture with the world.”

The troupes are divided by age, kindergarten through second grade, third through fifth grade, middle school, high school and adult.

“It’s fun to see the grandparents dancing with their grandchildren and even great-grandchildren,” said Alexiou, who is an executive assistant to the president and board of directors for Heartland International Film Festival.

Marina Agapios, a seventh-grader from Fishers, dances with the middle school team.

“I enjoy learning about my culture and heritage. I find it fun,” Agapios said.

GreekFest President Marika Kalyvas Bagios said an estimated 15,000 people visit during the three-day festival, although

it’s hard to get an exact count because admission is free.

“The money raised goes to the general fund, which supports the various groups and community outreach programs the church is involved with,” Kalyvas Bagios said.

Kalyvas Bagios said there are more bounce houses this year in the children’s Bounce House City area.

More than 560 volunteers participated in 2017 and a similar number is expected this year GreekFest started in 1974.

Indianapolis Greek Festival Where: Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 3500 W. 106th St., Carmel When: Hours are 4 to 10 p.m. Aug. 24, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 25 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 26.

What’s new: New beers include OPA! Ale from Oaken Barrel, Chica Internacional Pale Lager from Bier Brewery and Yuengling. Lamb pita has been added to the menu.

Parking: $5 to park in the church lot.

“Celebration of the Bands” will not be held this year because of construction in downtown Carmel, Indiana Wind Symphony Conductor Charlie Conrad said.

Conrad, who started the two-day “Celebration of the Bands in 2015,” will instead have one free outdoor concert, called “American Dreams,” conducted by the IWS at 7 p.m. on the Center Green in front of The Palladium in Carmel.

The soloist for the concert is jazz clarinetist Shawn Goodman, who will play a new work by Indianapolis composer Ryan Fraley, “Rhapsody on Cue.” Among other pieces will be “American Fanfare” by James Stephenson; “Yosemite Autumn” by Mark Camphouse; “Savannah River Holiday” by Ron Nelson; and Kelly Bennette’s “American Revolution Medley.”

The concert will close with “American Dream” by James Beckel.

“He recently finished a 49-year career as principal trombone of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and is a favorite composer of the Indiana Wind Symphony,” Conrad said.

Wine cocktails a hit in summer Commentary by Elizabeth Morse Often in the summertime we find ourselves entertaining larger groups of people.

This is a great opportuWINEderlust nity to make your wine fridge work for you.

Wine cocktails enable you to serve budgetfriendly wines in an upscale way. They are also a great way to make fine wine go a bit further.

Instead of making specific wine suggestions, I’m going to give you a few no-fail recipes where you can use what you’ve got or what’s on sale. You’re welcome.

• My favorite ever: Take a champagne flute and drop a cube of sugar in the bottom. Splash a few drops of blood orange bitters over the cube and fill the remainder of the glass with any sparkling wine. Garnish with a twist of lemon.

• This next libation uses any white wine. Super simple. Equal parts of wine, lemonade and cranberry juice.

Mix in a pitcher, serve over ice and top with a splash of ginger ale.

• For red wine lovers, try this one: Three parts of any red and one part 7 Up. Serve over ice and add a few frozen red grapes to fancy things up.

• Last but not least, a Moscato martini. Moscato is so popular these days but pretty sweet. Mixing equal parts of chilled Moscato and icy cold vodka presents a more sophisticated approach. It can also use up that random flavored vodka you’ve been hanging onto. Almost any vodka will work.

I’d love to hear what you think. If you fix one up, drop me a line. Cheers!

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 8555 N. River Rd., Indianapolis What to get: Ahi Tuna Tartare, Chilean Sea Bass or the 10 oz. filet mignon topped with garlic shrimp scampi.

Price: Entrées range from $26 to $65.

Anna’s take: Ocean Prime staff was exceptionally generous and professional. General Manager Willie Nieberger walked my guest and I through a dining experience that began with Ahi Tuna Tartare, shrimp cocktail served over billowing dry ice and cold king crab legs from Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Following the apps, we sampled the Chilean Sea Bass, the 10 oz. filet mignon topped with garlic shrimp scampi and black truffle mac & cheese and broccoli and cauliflower sides served family style. We finished the evening with a 10-layer carrot cake with cream cheese icing and pineapple syrup.

The Ahi Tuna Tartare featured layers of avocado, fried wonton strips, sushi-grade tuna and was topped with a dollop of sour cream and ginger. A ginger ponzu sauce and sesame seeds added an Asian flair, and the crunch of the wontons complemented the tuna and creamy sour cream.

The Chilean Sea Bass is served atop whipped potatoes with a champagne truffle sauce. The delicate, flaky fish was adorned with black truffle slices. As for the filet, it was exceptionally tender and melted in my mouth.

Ocean Prime was one of the finest, most upscale dining experiences I have ever enjoyed. The food paired with the A-1 service was excellent.

Suggested pairings: For the lighter appetizers, pair with a sparkling Veuve Rose (half off on Fridays), a cucumber gimlet or a Sunlight Cream Ale. Pair the filet mignon with a Manhattan garnished with Luxardo cherries or a glass of Merryvale Starmont Cabernet Sauvignon.

Behind bars: Berries & Bubbles Get it at Ocean Prime, Indianapolis Ingredients: 1.25 oz. Belvedere Citrus, .75 oz. Crème de Cassis, 1.5 oz. sour mix, 1 oz. Domaine Chandon Brut, fresh berries, dry ice Directions: Combine Belvedere Citrus, Crème de Cassis and sour mix in mixing tin.

Add ice, shake vigorously and strain into chilled martini glass containing a spoonful of marinated berries and a piece of dry ice. Finish cocktail with Domaine Chandon Brut float.

Blueprint for Improvement: Kitchen-and-bathroom update Commentary by Larry Greene

Before

After solutions

After

The goal was to create a transitional design for the kitchen and bathrooms while making each space work better for the homeowners’ lifestyle.

1. In the kitchen, the largest transformation came from new white cabinetry and adding more cabinets to fill the space. The cabinets’ height also was extended to the ceiling, which is a visual trick that helps to make the room appear larger.

2. Another change came from replacing the countertops in the kitchen and extending the island, which created more functional countertop space for the homeowner.

3. Convenient storage solutions were incorporated to help keep countertop appliances hidden.

4. Updates were made to the master, guest and powder bathrooms. One of the most dramatic bathroom updates came from removing the tub in the master bathroom to create more space.

Background Info: This early 1990s home is in the Woodgate neighborhood of Carmel. The homeowners love the home but wanted to give it an overall update to help them get more use out of the space they have because they plan to stay in the home for several more years.

Before problems The original kitchen felt small and there was limited cabinet storage and countertop space. The kitchen also was very dark and lacked design appeal. In addition to the kitchen, several bathrooms never had been updated.

Dummy subjects for dummies Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Inside Taipei’s Chiang-Kai Shek Memorial Hall. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Changing of the guard Commentary by Don Knebel Every hour during the day, guards change in front of an enormous statue of Chiang Kai-Shek in Taipei, travel Taiwan. Someday soon, the statue itself will change.

Chiang Kai-Shek became chairman of the Republic of China in 1928. In 1949, after his forces were defeated by the Communists, he removed himself and 2 million Chinese to Taiwan, an island 112 miles from the mainland, where he established a government in exile and ruled with an iron fist. He maintained martial law and initiated the “white terror,” in which 140,000 Taiwanese were imprisoned and at least 3,000 executed for suspected opposition to his government. After Chiang Kai-Shek died in 1975, the one-party government constructed a building in his memory at the east end of 60-acre Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Park. The white Memorial Hall is covered by an eightsided roof, the number eight representing prosperity and good fortune. Eighty-nine steps, representing Chiang Kai-Shek’s age at death, lead to an imposing hall featuring a 32-foot tall bronze statue of the seated

ruler.

Beginning in the 1980s, massive demonstrations took place in the park demanding a democratic government. These demonstrations led to the first free elections in 1996, after which Chiang-Kai Shek Memorial Park was renamed Liberty Park. Beginning in 2007, Taiwanese citizens began demanding that Chiang Kai-Shek’s statue be removed from Memorial Hall because of his no-longer-acceptable autocratic rule.

In 2017, 30 years after the elimination of martial law, the government announced plans to remove the statue and transform the hall into a center for “facing history, recognizing agony, and respecting human rights.” Public discussions about the transformation are under way, with some people advocating that the building be destroyed.

Liberty Park now contains the impressive National Concert Hall and National Theatre.

How much longer it will contain Memorial Hall is an open question.

This will help the wood absorb the oil from the nut. Lastly, use a soft cloth to buff the area. Now, the scratch is sealed and gone.

Doesn’t it feel good to do battle with someone with whom you don’t agree behind the safety of grammar guy a screen? We jump on Twitter on our smartphones to call someone a loser in all caps. We hide inside our anonymous online identities, rapidly re-sharing the outrage du jour. Our TV pundits aren’t even in the same room; they lob talking points like hand grenades at each other via satellite.

Verbal combat over social media and cable news is pointless. Nobody wins.

Today, I want to tackle the dummy subject (also referred to as an artificial or empty subject), which is a verbal construction that weakens your writing, making it seem vague and nebulous.

You find yourself using a dummy subject whenever you use “it” or “there” to start a sentence without referring to the noun “it” or “there” represents. Let me use some examples: Weak: It seems like everyone’s just yelling past each other.

Better: After watching shows on MS-

NBC, Fox News and CNN for an hour, my brain hurt. It seems like everyone’s just yelling past each other.

In the second example, “it” refers back to “shows” in the first sentence.

“There” also gets used as a dummy subject: Weak: There are 37 varieties of pineapples in the world.

Better: The World Fruit Council has identified 37 varieties of pineapples in the world.

The second example is stronger because it provides a source for the fact about pineapples. Without the authority of someone like the “World Fruit Council” (which I just made up), the sentence feels indefinite.

In the same way that arguing from behind the shield of a screen makes our arguments go nowhere, using dummy subjects makes your writing sound uncertain and wobbly.
